The gang Carries a Corpse Up a Mountain
Criminal Activities
Abuse of a corpse
Many U.S. jurisdictions criminalize the mistreatment, mutilation, concealment, or improper disposal of human remains (often called abuse of a corpse, desecration of a corpse, or unlawful disposal of human remains). Acts such as transporting a corpse for unauthorized disposal, dumping remains in a public place or body of water, or otherwise mishandling a body can constitute crimes.
Situation:
"The core plot of the episode shows the group carrying Charlie's deceased father in a body bag, repeatedly dropping and spilling the contents, discussing chopping up, burning, or melting the body, attempting to slide/transport the body up a mountain in a tent/bag, and later placing the body in the bed of a truck with plans to throw him off a cliff / into the water (and acknowledging leaving the body where children/bystanders are present). These are clear, affirmative acts of handling and attempting to dispose of a corpse outside of lawful procedures and therefore constitute abuse/improper disposal of human remains by the participants listed (they jointly carry out and agree on disposal plans)."
Assault
Threatening another with imminent physical harm or displaying a weapon in a manner that puts others in reasonable fear of harm; in many jurisdictions brandishing a firearm or threatening violence is a criminal offense.
Situation:
"Dennis explicitly admits (in dialog) that he poured hot oil on a doctor who showed up at the 'castle'—a direct admission of having committed a violent assault by scalding another person."
