Two. Give me a two shot.

Here's a look. Watch it. I just feel like everything's out of my control.

Oh, Mr. E.

This came really on the beast. I've got an animal head right there.

You know what did it?

What is it?

We say it's the only way to look terrific.

It's a cool shape.

He understands all about the game. Reason's during the fable attacks.

This next one coming up is in the park.

It's the second victim.

It's bad enough to strike a picture.

She's ours.

All right. Now with this filled up, the public is dying to see her.

Killing. Real.

Repression.

Repression is the father of neurosis, of self -hatred.

Now, stress results when we fight against our impulses.

We've all heard people talk about animal magnetism, the natural man, the

noble savage.

As if we'd lost something valuable in our long evolution into civilized human

beings. Now, there's a good reason for this.

Man is a combination of the learned and the instilled.

The sophisticated and the primitive.

We should never try to deny the beast, the animal within us.

The minute anything breaks, we cut to Christmas dinner. Before Doc pitches his

book. Hell, he's been coaching Carol on how to talk to this psycho. He won't

come. How

much?

Eddie?

John. How much for a half and a half?

Sorry, Betty. Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hey, you're that TV lady. Yeah, that's all.

Jesus.

Did Karen see this? Yeah.

She never even mentioned seeing the victims.

She didn't want you to worry.

Okay, guys, this is the jackpot.

I'm on western between... I don't

like the interference.

It's the best rig we got.

Oh, no, no, it's all that neon out there. It messes up the signal.

I'll get our people to cruise western.

Boy, there's a lot of flotsam and jetsam out tonight, isn't there?

Seems like there's more of them when we get out here.

I wonder where they come from, you know?

I wonder where they're going to.

I don't know where they come from, but they got to where they're going.

6 David JL 1455.

Contact lost with Fox 1. Vicinity western into long break. Report any

Repeat, report any sighting. All right.

She's wearing some kind of a purple and lavender outfit. We ought to be able to

spot her pretty easy.

Yeah, I've seen her on the news.

Weeks ago, when Update News reporter Karen White began receiving calls from a

mysterious stranger who identified himself only as Eddie, the KDHB News

No. No.

The KDHB News team began working... The KDHB News team began working with local

police to link Eddie with a recent string of fake...

That's a brave little old girl you got there.

Tonight, at an act of courage we here at KDHV are all very proud of.

Good evening.

Hey, Terry, how are you?

Good. How's it going?

Oh, I'm going to need just a few more minutes.

Jesus, there's a guy standing right outside the booth now. I don't know if

him. Lieutenant Shantz.

Detective Klein.

This is Karen's husband. Oh, you've got quite a brave young lady there, Mr.

White. And Neil.

Bill Neil. My wife uses her maiden name. Bill Neil. Yeah.

Stanford, right?

Yeah. So how is it going? I don't know who this guy is. I've got a clean word

from Karen. This is Dr.

Neil. 15 minutes.

Hold it, hold it. She's transmitting.

Yeah,

yeah, I'm alone.

Are you wearing what I asked you to?

Good.

Wait, what's that?

That's it. What? I'm afraid we might have lost her.

Lost it.

What the hell kind of half -ass operation is this?

Okay, okay, Eddie. I'll be there in just a little while.

Okay,

mister, it's all yours.

I think you told me you'd never be out of contact with her. Now, what kind of

operation are you running? They have people in the area. They'll pick her up.

What does that mean, in the area? They will find her.

Okay guys, this is it.

I'll keep the transmitter open.

Hello, Eddie.

I knew you'd come, Karen.

We have a lot to talk about, you and me.

Can I turn around and see you?

Not yet, Karen.

Just watch.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, she asked me directions to it. How long ago?

Well, a couple of minutes.

The struggle.

Two, give me a two shot.

Take it.

Three. When he picks the book up, give me a close -up of it.

Two,

push in to a single of the doctor.

Put his key in.

Waiting's tough.

Take down.

Ready, one, take one.

As it does on the social programming about mine.

Why don't you look a little softer? When we are four, each of us is given a

gift.

The gift of life.

Camera two, give me a two -shot.

She didn't feel a thing, Karen.

None of them do.

They're not real, the people here. They're dead.

They could never be like me.

But you're different, Karen.

I watch you on TV and I know how good I can make you feel.

Yeah. Yeah, there's a broad that came in here. She emptied the place out.

She's watching movies.

Oh, my God, Jesus Christ.

What you been doing?

No knife,

no gun, no nothing. The freak was clean. Now, what the hell happened back there?

Don't ask me, Lieutenant. Ask Victor McGraw here.

who had been receiving calls from him in connection with a recent series of

brutal murders in the downtown area. I can't hear you, Smith. You all right?

Okay,

baby.

It's okay. They said we could go home in a few minutes.

I talked the old man out of putting you on camera tonight.

That was big of you.

We'll pay him something later on when we feel up.

And in your own words, nothing new.

I don't know what happened in there.

I don't remember.

It's a builder. It's all right.

It's number 27 down the hall. Thank you.

Did the guy say anything else?

No, just that he worked with a kid named Eddie that he thought lived here.

He did say that the kid hated washing dishes.

He doesn't?

No.

Charming.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, God.

Just your average red -blooded, all -American boy.

Boy, Doc's going to have a field day with these.

Dad.

Not bad.

Kid had talent.

They've designed the Marquis de Sade coloring book.

I think we better call the cops.

Eventually.

Look at this.

Hmm.

I wonder if this is a real place.

So what's the story on our next Norman Rockwell?

Well, this sort of person, they're controlled by the right hemisphere of

brain. Now, um, that dominates the non -rational, the artistic, the

creative impulses.

It's not unusual for a killer to draw as well as that.

That's not a bad angle, Doc. Would you mind putting that on tape for us? Not at

all.

We're trying to push Fred for a half -hour special called The Mind of Eddie

Quist. Although we're focusing really on the beast in all of it. Good idea.

So you found the last name?

Signed his work.

So he did.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I guess I'm just not quite ready yet, okay?

You'll be okay.

Don't worry.

Standby cameras one and two. Then I'm on the air. Opening scene ready.

Two, push on in.

Hello. Are you sure you're up to this?

I'm not diving in here personally. That's what the old man says.

I bet he did. He sure did. Here's our girl.

Hi, Fred.

Hi. Well, we're going to make a ratings history tonight. You're going to be the

cynosure of all eyes.

What is that? That means that everybody is going to be watching you. Everybody

wants to see the lady who caught Eddie the Mangler.

Terrific. Want my copy? Yeah.

Good luck.

Boy, she seems shaky.

Look fine to me.

All right, everyone, we'll go in ten seconds.

5, 4, 3, 1.

Challenge.

Up on 2.

It's the 5 o 'clock edition of the Southland's top -rated newscast, the

6 Update News.

Ready camera 2?

The tapes in the train record.

14 injured in Rockaway River train derailment. More on the Mideast

Good evening.

Get off her. Get her out of there.

Let's pause now for an editorial from our general manager, Fred W. Francis.

Here's Fred.

There's been a lot of talk in the past month about our culture of violence.

Who knows? Maybe she's pregnant.

Listen, get in touch with that Fujiyama, Fujimoto, or whatever the hell her name

is and get her ready for the 11 o 'clock report.

Now there is a pro.

You can't be afraid of dreams.

I can't help it. All I remember is pushing open the door,

and then I'm outside, and the police are there, and Bill's there,

and the remote crew, and it's over.

And there's this blood on me, and I can't imagine who it might have come

You can't remember anything that happened inside the booth?

No, not really.

Weird little pieces in my dreams.

How are you and Bill?

Trying to communicate.

Okay, tell me, Doctor, how crazy am I?

Completely bananas.

I think so.

I'm going to recommend that you go up to the colony for a week or two.

Your place up north there?

That's right.

I only recommend it to very special patients, ones who I think will benefit

its environment.

It's a place where you can recharge your batteries.

It'll enable you to try and get back to what you really are.

What goes on up there?

Well, seminars, group therapy. It's very low -key.

It would be a good place to try and tackle this amnesia thing.

I don't know if I want to be there.

What?

Doc said once I remembered what happened, it wouldn't scare me anymore.

I'm not so sure.

Honey, give this place a chance, okay?

We gotta do something.

Well, I hope these people aren't too weird.

Warren, talk. Where is it? Ah, hi.

Bill Neal, hardware.

Hardware? He doesn't get it, Bill. I own a couple of health club barbells,

hardware. That's my wife, Karen.

Hi. Hi, nice to meet you. You too.

I'm it.

No, I try to stay away from you. Maybe later.

Thank you. Thank you.

Karen,

what?

Get me out of here, Bill.

Lookie here, lookie here. Welcome to the colony.

Charlie Barton.

Bill and Karen White.

Charlie's on their board. He put up all the cattle for tonight's barbecue.

I've seen you on television.

Thank you.

If you fellas don't mind, I think I'm going to borrow Karen and just give her

the rundown of the colony.

Don't leave out the juicy stuff.

Oh, I won't.

Man,

go on like this.

Damn teeth are shot.

Hell of a joke.

You want some?

Yeah, sure. Why not?

What's in it?

Do it.

I'm Bill.

Yeah.

I'm looking for my wife.

Wow.

Now you can see why I brought you up here. You won't be cold here.

Well, speaking of cold, how is your bungalow?

Oh, it's quite nice, thanks. Good.

Oh, you are? Yeah.

Tell me something else. Do you, um, do you miss the television?

Are you kidding? I don't have to pin my hair up.

Wagner.

Hello, Marsha.

How are you?

Take this book back.

I don't want my brother reading it.

I think he said he'd like to.

I've done enough damage already.

Bitch. No, no, no.

We can all learn a great deal from Marsha, she said.

A very elemental person.

It's all that natural energy.

She's an infomania.

No.

It's just that it's so unchallenged.

She has a long way to go.

Let me go. Let me go. I want to end it. Easy, buddy. Just calm down. That's the

only way. I've got to end it. I've got to burn.

Oh, now calm down. Think a minute.

You've got to let me do it, Doc. You've got to.

Jesus. Don't worry.

That's one of Earl's favorite tricks.

He's just trying to get attention.

I want to end it.

It just goes on and on.

Oh, you know better than that.

The old man shouldn't drink. It really gets him loose.

Believe me.

Come tomorrow, people will be so pleased to see that you're safe and sound. They

won't think anything more of it.

Good night's sleep.

Everything will seem better in the light of day.

There.

Something was howling.

Mm -hmm. Shh, listen.

The wind.

There was something howling before.

Okay, sure, somebody's dog.

Not like any dog I ever heard.

Honey, you were raised in L .A. The wildest thing you ever heard was Wolfman

Jack. This is the country.

Come on, let's try to get some sleep, okay?

Okay? Okay.

Good.

I heard something outside. Why shouldn't you call the police?

I'm embarrassed.

I wish we hadn't even called them.

Look at this.

All the balls on my side of the court again.

What you ladies need is a good retriever.

Hiya, Sam.

Hi.

Hey, Doc said on the phone that you folks had a coyote problem out here.

Hey, you're famous, ain't you?

Sort of. Sam, Sam, this is Karen White. Karen, Sam Newfield. Hi.

Nice to meet you.

I used to watch you all the time.

You're a whole lot prettier than Walter Cronkite. Oh, Sam, Karen thought she saw

something moving in the bushes last night. Well, now your coyotes is liable

come into a setup like this looking for garbage.

Did you hear anything?

Me? Oh, I sleep like the dead.

Tattoo, huh?

I remember one on him when he came in.

Yeah, well, the coroner said that he had one on his shoulder, some kind of

animal head right there. Oh.

I don't get many of you TV people in here. Mostly it's your newspaper guys

to come in, look at the meat.

I don't know how you can stand it.

Yeah, it doesn't bother me.

Want to unwrap them, Ross? Let's see.

Quist is still with the John Doe's. We haven't had time to refile them.

Only thing that freaked me out since I've been working here is the night old

Walker came in. The guy who worked here, right?

Say goodnight to him at the ship change.

A couple hours go by, then we get a delivery from the Oceanside unit.

I unzipped the bag.

There's old Stu, smiling up at me, leaking seawater out his ears.

Visitors, Eddie!

Where is he?

He was here this morning.

God, look at the door.

You don't suppose somebody could have stolen him, do you?

Well, he didn't get up and walk out on his own.

Are there cows around here?

Charlie Barton's got a couple of acres of pasture just down the hill.

They don't sound right.

I'm not really sure how cows are supposed to sound.

Not like that.

Jerry's got a rifle, doesn't he?

Primal screamers.

I don't know. I figure another five years of real hard work and maybe I'll

human being.

I don't see nothing.

Well, I didn't hear anything so funny anyway.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Now what? What's wrong?

Great! What's wrong?

What's wrong?

All right, let me look at it.

Let me see.

I can tell about that.

Oh, God, Donna.

We're stuck out here in the middle of Timbuktu someplace.

What's that gun? God!

Sorry to scare you, ma 'am. I thought you was a cowjacker.

There's another one back up yonder, tore up the same way.

You know what did it?

Well, it ain't a coyote, that's a scene.

You girls all right?

Oh, yeah.

Nothing like a quiet week in the country.

A little straighter.

All right, now the quick shot again. Think fast.

You have an intro, Bill.

I think you're ready for your bullets.

Hey,

don't you guys usually use a dog in this kind of hunt?

Usually. Boy, they clown to shoot all of them.

Besides, who needs dogs? We got CC.

That boy's part bled out.

I still think it was you, Air Force.

Them cattle mutilations.

Good, Earl, good.

You watch the skies for us now. That'll be your job.

I want to talk to you. What are you doing here? I thought you had a session.

I do, but I don't want you to go do this, not just for my sake. Are you

Besides,

I've never been on a wolf hunt before. All right, boys, this is a wolf hunt,

a coon show.

Boys are calling me.

Did you see the boys? Yep.

What happened then, Count?

I hear something else.

Somebody else is breathing. He's in there with me.

It's Eddie, and he closes the door, and he puts a quarter into the slot, and

the movie starts, and then he whispers something to me,

and he whispers something to me, and then he tells me.

I can finally turn around and look at him.

Turn around, Karen.

What do you see?

What's there, Karen?

Karen, what do you see?

What's there, Karen?

I can't see him.

Just try. He's right there. What do you see?

What's there, Karen? What do you see, Karen?

What's there, Karen?

I can't see him. I can't. I can't see him. Okay, okay, okay. That's far enough

for now. That's fine.

Hey, I got it. First shot.

And he said he wasn't no hunter.

We get them all.

Some worshipers, wound worshipers, Satanists. The Manson people used to

around here and shoplift.

A bunch of deadbeats.

Do you know of any groups that are into stealing corpses?

Body snatching?

If you want to read about it, I've got a book for you. Slide me down.

You name it, I've got the book.

A number of young women were killed in the next month.

Their bodies exhibiting signs of animal attack.

What's that?

Warlocks, werewolves, and demons.

Please, you're gonna purchase a purchase.

Not me, Maloney. Get him greasy.

We'll find out if any of Eddie's killings were on a full moon. Okay,

lot of Hollywood baloney.

Your classic werewolf could change shape any time of wants, day or night,

whatever it takes a notion to.

That's why I call them shapeshifters. I got a dozen books on it.

What about killing it with silver bullets? Well, sure. Silver bullets are

It's the only way to get rid of the damn things.

They're worse than cockroaches.

They come back from the dead if you don't kill them right.

Plus, they regenerate. You know what that is?

Cut off an arm, cut off a leg, stick a knife in the heart. Nothing.

They may look dead, but bam, three days later, they're as good as new.

You believe in this?

What am I, an idiot?

I'm making a buck here. You want books? I got books.

I got chicken blood. I got dog embryos. I got black candles. I got wolf pen.

Look at this.

Silver bullets.

Some joker ordered them. 30 -06.

Never picked them up.

I take Bank of America, American Express, Visa.

You're gonna buy that or what?

Uh, yeah, these two.

Oh, there's some incredible old pictures in this book. That's a good book.

Do you see any wolves?

Nope. There's lots of rabbits.

What do you do with these things? Eat them.

Oh. My sister will cook it up for you if you want.

No, I try to stay away from me.

Your wife might like it. You kill something you don't eat, now that's a

Yeah, well, I never thought of it like that.

The plate's just over there.

My sister would be glad to cook it up for you.

Are you sure?

Marsha just loves to cook.

Okay.

Are you sure?

How long will it take?

Ah!

It happened so fast, I didn't even see what it was.

Jesus, Doc, is that necessary?

Can't take any chances.

God.

I want to go home.

I wouldn't advise traveling right now.

A bite like that can be pretty serious.

Yes,

that's the sign of the werewolf.

That's just a legend, though, isn't it? Yes, but like most legends, it must have

some basis in fact.

Probably an ancient explanation of the dual personality in each of us.

How does it go?

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night may become a wolf

when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.

You're reading. I'll get it.

It's my phone. I'll get it. I'll get it.

I'll get it.

Hello. Karen.

No, we're still up.

What?

You're kidding me.

No, listen, we'll come right up, okay?

We'll be right up. Just calm down.

Okay. Okay, bye -bye.

What is it?

Bill just got bitten by a wolf.

Whoever is bitten by a werewolf and lives becomes a werewolf himself.

on, Terry. It's only a movie.

You go on ahead and I'll be up as soon as I pitch the special to the old man.

Relax, will you? It was probably just some stray dog.

Hello, good friend. Hello.

Don't worry.

You okay?

Boy, I don't know what her last name is.

Donna calls her Marsha the man -eater.

Really? And she lives in this shack.

There's furry little animals hanging from around here.

And you think she's trying to make the move on Bill?

Oh, I don't know.

It's just a feeling.

I sound paranoid, don't I?

Sharon,

you sound fine.

Got an old veggie I totally forgot.

About Bill and his dinner. Bill!

Bill! I'm really sorry. I totally forgot about you not eating meat.

Hey, no sweat. It's terrific.

No, really.

I get hungry enough, I'll eat anything.

Hello. Hi.

We must book here.

Well, I just thought maybe we... Your timing is incredible.

I'm sorry. I need those shots. Okay.

God, we're just out of sync, aren't we?

We never want the same thing at the same time.

Good night, Bill.

John?

John?

John?

What are you doing?

Hello anybody here

It's that dream again.

It's the first time I think you were in it.

No wonder, honey. You've been asleep all day.

Jesus, where'd you get those scratches on your back?

I guess they're from the other night when I got attacked.

They weren't there the other night.

Karen, you're really getting paranoid.

You've been with her, haven't you, that Marsha girl? Don't lay your fantasies

out on me. Oh, please, I'm not going to take that one anymore. I know, it's all

a big conspiracy as far as you're concerned. You know, you don't have one

of backbone to walk by.

You can do whatever you want.

You don't know what it's like.

I don't want to know.

Look,

calm down. You're not making any sense. Eddie Quist is dead.

I saw pictures just like we saw in his room.

Christopher.

The landscape.

It's real.

Where are you, at Doc's?

Yeah.

Christopher, I'll tell you nothing.

I think he's gone to be earnest.

Look, is there some kind of file cabinet there?

Yeah.

Are you sure you're all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I am. I'm okay.

It seems good to hear your voice.

All right. Look in the files under Quist.

Okay.

You're not going to hang up, are you?

I'll get the police there as soon as I can.

Just go look in the file.

Okay.

Okay, hold on.

Never mind, you're coming with me.

Quist Marcia.

Quist TC.

Oh, Christopher.

It's in.

to the state boys and we'll meet you over at the center.

I wouldn't worry, Mr. Holland.

I'm sure she's safe.

Those are real silver. I gotta check it with a jeweler to find out what to

charge. Fill me.

Crazy fuck.

Doc?

I gotta use your phone.

Jesus Christ, what happened in here?

I'm glad you came.

I wanted to see you again.

I saw you die.

You said on the phone that you wanted to get to know me.

Well, here I am, Karen.

Look at me.

I want to give you a piece of my mind.

I trusted you, Karen.

Thank you.

Took some persuading, did she?

All right.

No.

Wait, Bill.

It's what about now?

Given time, he would have brought you over to us. Our secret will be safe.

It's wonderful, Karen.

When I was first bitten, I fought against it. And so did Jerry.

And then we found the doctor.

He helped us.

He helped us to adjust.

You see, Karen, he understands all about the gift.

He knows how to use it, how to control it.

You could have Bill back this still time if you accept the gift.

It's a mistake to bring her to the colony.

We should have stuck with the old ways.

Raising cattle for our feed. Where's the life in that?

The humans are our cattle. The humans are our prey.

We should feed on them like we've always done.

Screw all this channel of your energy crap.

But the danger of exposure.

We need the Schultz to plan.

To catch up with society.

Times have changed and we haven't. Not enough.

Shut up, Doc.

You wouldn't listen to me.

None of you.

We can fit in, you said.

We can live with them.

You make me think.

Marsha. Oh, you're through, Doc.

She's ours now.

See what your friend did to me?

That nice?

What's the matter with you all? Have you forgotten everything you've learned?

She can't disappear. She's well known.

He's right, Marsha. We've got to make this look like an accident. I won't let

you do this.

Your cat came. It was meant to be wild, Doc.

It ain't natural.

The physical sensation of life and death struggle produces gratification.

According to the autopsy reports, Eddie's victims were bitten almost as if

had been attacked by an animal.

Doctor, what can you tell me about lycanthropy?

Eddie? You know me.

And I don't know you.

And why is that?

Where is she?

Why? Is she your girlfriend?

Where's Terry?

Just down the ritual center, down the path.

That's where Wagner sends us to, uh, unwind.

He's so repressed.

What did you do to him?

She's got a sexy voice.

I like a woman with a sexy voice.

I, uh, listen to this part here.

Oh,

I'm much more than that, bright boy.

I'm much more.

Here.

Take it.

Call it a gift.

Come on, bright boy.

Don't you know anything?

Put her and her friend in a car, pour gasoline over them, set fire to them,

push them off the car.

Don't come any closer.

I have silver bullets in here.

Silver bullets, my ass.

Get out of my face.

They're real.

Don't come any closer, Doc.

Is that the only door in the barn?

Yeah, I think so.

Where's Terry?

I killed her. And I think so.

Thank you.

How'd you find out about him?

Terry called right after the... Oh, stop!

It's Sam.

To warn people, Chris, we have to make them believe.

There, an artist. You look terrific.

I know you are. Thanks.

If you're done, Fran, thanks a lot.

I'm not sure I can go through with this. You have to.

Okay, stand by on the set.

Five,

four, three... Now, here is Lou Landers.

Good evening.

More word on that fire that's burning out of control up the coast tonight.

Firefighters have discovered the blaze seems to have started at the colony, an

experimental living community founded by author and behavior expert Dr. George

West. She's ready.

How does she look? Does she look all right to you?

Reports so far indicate that bodies have been discovered both inside and outside

the colony building. Into a single? Many of them burned beyond recognition.

And what authorities on the scene are calling a Guyana -like spectacle?

Now for an exclusive eyewitness report on the incident.

We welcome back... She shows any sign of breathing like the last time we were at

the commercial. Take one.

Good evening.

From the day we're born, there is a battle we must fight, a struggle between

what is kind and peaceful in our natures and what is cruel and violent.

What the hell is this, an editorial? That choice is our birthright as human

beings and the real gift that differentiates us from the animals.

It is as natural to us as the air we breathe. Did you pass this material?

not reading for the prompter. All of us take it for granted.

We changed it a little.

But now for some of us.

That choice has been taken away.

A secret society exists and is living among all of us.

There are neither people nor animals, but something in between.

Monstrous mutations whose violent natures must be satisfied.

I know what you're thinking because I've been where you are.

That's enough.

And it's possible.

Leave it. Cut. Leave it. But I have proof.

And tonight I'm going to show you something.

Make you believe.

Damn it, switch!

Doesn't that look good?

Meaty chunks of tantalizing nutrition.

Things they do with special effects these days.

Did you see the one about the guy in the spaceship?

It was real.

He turned into a werewolf and they shot her.

You're plastic.

Doesn't mean it wasn't real.

Hey, Ernie, put a pepper steak on it for me, will you? And a hamburger for the

lady. How do you want it?

How you want it, honey?

Rare.

I'm going now.

And heaven help you.
