I asked Oksana how does she move forward. She told me that everyone is a hunter. Some hunt for love, some hunt for independence or for a sense of purpose. Some simply hunt for the truth. She said we shouldn’t be afraid of the hunt wherever it takes us or whatever it makes us. Find what matters and keep hunting.

Emily: Why did you kill all of those people?
Rex: Mistakes were made. They had to be cleaned up.
