The Huntress
S01E19: Ah, Wilderness
CAPSULE: Dottie and Brandi spend a less-than-idyllic time in the mountains searching for an embezzler who is also being pursued by a murderous mobster from Russia. After a fight, Tiny is arrested and charged with murder. SPOILER ALERT! Key plot details revealed! Brandi and Dottie wait outside a building for embezzler Teddy Irwin to come outside so they can apprehend him. Inside, Teddy is surprised by an ominous Russian man demanding money. Suddenly Irwin comes falling off the building's roof, landing on a parked car. Det. Farrell questions the Thorsons why this criminal facing a relatively minor charge would kill himself; they have no answers. Ricky refuses to pay commission for a dead body but says he will pay for his partner, Irwin's brother Bill, also an accountant involved in the same embezzlement. The Thorsons get a lead that Bill Irwin might be in a cabin in a remote area of the San Bernadino Mountains. At Tiny's bar, he sees Jason in an unpleasant conversation with Arno and D.Q.
Overview
The Huntress is an American TV series that appeared on the USA Network over subsequent summers of the 2000 and 2001 television seasons. It was inspired by a book about the real bounty hunter, Dottie Thorson, and is also a belated sequel to the 1980 Steve McQueen film, The Hunter.
