      Keith doesn't react until the third gunshot when Sgt. Conniston is injured. Considering that he is alone in a secluded mountain cabin, any loud sound out of the ordinary should have startled him.
    • Quotes

      • John Keith: Not a thing. So as a change in our diet of beans and moose, we'll have moose and beans.
