In the Belly of the Whale is the first episode in the first season of Hunters.
US undersecretary of state Biff hosts a barbecue, where a guest is shocked to remember him as a senior Nazi, leading to Biff killing all present, including his own family. Jonah witnesses the brutal murder of his grandmother inside their Brooklyn home, and subsequently vows to find the truth of her death. He meets Ruth’s old friend, Meyer Offerman,...
Episode 1 of Hunters begins in Maryland, June 1977. A man named Biff hosts a barbeque but one of the guests starts shaking, shouting at him and calling him the Butcher and a Nazi. With his facade broken, Biff grabs a gun from under the barbeque and proceeds to shoot everyone in the vicinity apart from the shaking lady, whom he addresses personally before eventually shooting her in the face.
Following the shoot-out, we skip over to Brooklyn. Three boys, including Jonah, leave the movie theatre as they discuss heroes and villains, before engaging in a drug deal with a boy called Dennis. Things go awry though when he tries to play him but Jonah stands his ground and refuses to give in.
Back home, Jonah’s grandmother finds his drugs in his bag and talks to him about his gift, along with how he needs to get out of the drug game. That evening however, he’s awoken in the middle of the night and rushes downstairs where he finds his Grandmother lying dead in her chair, having been shot.
In Washington D.C. a man with a briefcase named Travis arrives at the barbeque massacre as Biff talks about racism and ways to twist the law in America. He hands Travis the gun and an envelope, letting him shoot him in the arm to give the illusion that he’s the sole survivor of a shoot-out.
A bitter and angry Jonah sits through the funeral for his Grandmother before sitting outside on the porch at the wake and stewing in his emotions. Meyer Offerman arrives and they talk about the man he claimed to have seen leave, mentioning how he and Jonah’s Grandmother were originally in the camps together. “Living well is the best revenge”, he utters before handing Jonah his number and driving away.
Inside, Jonah looks over his Grandmother’s possessions, including several hand-written letters. As he reads them, we cut back in time to the camps as we see the devastation first-hand. Meyer saved her life and that’s how these two knew each other.
