Things have been heating up on Manhunt: Deadly Games, and a new exclusive clip from Saturday’s episode reveals serial bomber Eric Rudolph is planning a counterattack on the FBI. In the clip, Rudolph (Jack Huston) meets with militia leader Big John Gray (Brad William Henke) in the woods. Gray brings Rudolph a backpack full of supplies and reaffirms his support for Rudolph’s crusade against the federal government.

Rudolph then shares his plan to shoot down an FBI helicopter flying over the woods, trying to locate Rudolph. However, this doesn’t really sit well with Gray, who makes it clear that a counterattack of that magnitude would bring a lot of danger to his family. Gray, very directly, lets Rudolph know that he is not prepared to put his family in harm’s way. The tense new episode of Manhunt: Deadly Games airs on Halloween night, Oct. 31, at 8 p.m. ET, on CBS.
