Original subtitles

Far, far away in an earlier time

and another world, there was a king of kings.

He was the ruler of all kingdoms.

He was the Rabbit King.

Dawn had broken, waking the Rabbit King from his slumber,

but 'twas not a normal morning.

Something was stirring in the air,

and this made the Rabbit King very uneasy,

as something wicked was coming.

The Rabbit King was ready for what may come,

for whatever may come, it would meet his wrath.

Oh, oh god.

Oh, fuck, oh.

Sir, sir, let's sit you down.

I didn't see him, man.

I think you're injured.

I didn't see him, man.

I was at, but I didn't see him.

Let's just sit you down.

The ambulance is on the way.

They're gonna wanna check you out.

And do you think they're dead?

I don't know, I need to go check on them,

but first I need you to sit down for me.

I didn't see him.

Just drink your beer, sit down.

Oh shit, I'm bleeding,

oh I'm bleeding.

Am I gonna go to jail.

I can't go to jail.

I can't go to jail.

Please!

I can't go to jail.

It's okay, it's okay, sweetheart, look at me.

Everything is gonna be okay.

We're gonna get you outta here.

I just really need you to hold still

until the paramedics can get here, okay?

Do you understand what I'm saying, sweetheart?

Good, just keep your eyes on me.

We're gonna take very good care of you, okay?

Look at me, stay awake,

everything is gonna be okay, sweetheart.

Just look at me.

We've got one right here.

Stay with me, look at me, look at me in the eyes.

Everything's gonna be okay, sweetheart.

En route to 496 Broadway.

We have another response unit ready?

Uh what's...

Dr. Brantley, 2744, Dr. Brantley.

Said you wanted to tell me about that.

So, I had a question

because you know Dr. Phillip?

Oh yeah.

She kind of comes off with that way,

saying was over there, and I was like worried,

like what's going on, gynecological?

- No, don't. - No it's not.

Oh, okay.

No, it is not gynecologic.

And it's not because you at the parents

and you could do...

Oh, my gosh, what?

Oh like this, okay, okay, yeah, good.

Thank you Vera so much for trouble...

Okay, okay.

Miss Ritz?

Thank you for coming in on such short notice.

Have you been waiting long?

No.

First of all my condolences for your loss.

We weren't close.

However you are the sister of the deceased.

Yeah.

Do you have a relationship with Nina?

Not really, met her when she was a baby

in a Christmas years ago.

Here mother and I were never close.

The reason why I asked you to come in

is that Nina has no place now that her family's gone.

She needs a place to stay.

Somewhere where there's family.

You're her aunt.

So, live with me?

Of course.

I don't, I don't know anything about kids.

Okay.

The reason why I asked you to come in,

I asked... I don't even know her.

Just, just, we want to avoid foster care.

I'm sure she doesn't even know who I am.

And have her with family.

I've talked with the attorneys who have been working

on the estate

and there will be funds to help with raising her.

We have advocates that can help you with a plan.

Just move.

Paging Dr. Statement,

Dr. Statement please.

Follow my finger.

Dr. Hubisec, 2945,

Dr. Hubisec, 2945.

Hey Syd, good to see you here.

Morning Anthony.

Well kiddo, it seems you'll be well to go in a day or two.

You took quite a bump on your head

which gave you a concussion.

Are your headaches gone?

Yes.

Any dizziness?

No.

That's a good sign.

She's a lucky kid.

She had a hematoma due to the head injury.

We had to drain a collection of excess fluid

from around the wound.

I wanted to keep her just a few more days

just to be safe.

I'll be back in a few days.

Okay.

Too slow.

Goodbye, Sydney.

Dr. Metta, 2945,

Dr. Metta, 2945.

So you okay, kiddo?

You've had a tough break.

There's someone here to see you.

This is Erma, your aunt.

Hi.

Hey.

Some people from my office went by your old house

and got some of your things.

My Rabbits?

All of them all in a box.

My mask.

It's all waiting for you.

Home sweet home.

Maybe Aunt Erma would like to show you to your room.

It's upstairs.

It's the guest room where people crash

when I have a party.

Guess it's yours now.

It's a new bed.

Wasn't that nice of Erma?

Yeah, nicer than mine.

Those are your things.

Could I talk to you a minute?

What?

You're trying to raise a child.

What do you want from me?

Effort.

Kids room, looks like a cell, looks like a jail cell.

It's my house.

Things had taken a dark turn

for the Rabbit King and his princess daughter

had become separated during their travels

in the dark woods.

The princess sat frightened and alone

as she waited for her father, the Rabbit King.

However she remembered something the Rabbit King

had told her.

Never fear as I am always in your heart

for love is stronger than evil.

I will find you

wherever you may be.

Always hold me in your heart

as I do with you and I will always

find my way to you.

You're going to need to be strong.

How long do you think that'll take?

She's odd.

She's family and she's just as nervous as you are.

Listen, there's an old saying

those who are hardest to love need it the most.

We spent a lot of time together

so it's safe to say that we're friends

and you can call me anytime

if you need anything. All right?

You need anything.

I'll see you soon.

Hey.

Hey.

What's that?

Takin' care of shit.

You got any weed?

Yeah, I got weed.

Wanna come in?

In a bit.

Okay.

You know Ash is coming by later.

Ooo, I'll pull out the good chips.

Oh my God.

Oh no.

Oh my.

Oh my God.

Laura.

Oh Gracie, thank God.

Get, get some, get some help.

Whoever invented the doughnut is rich.

Did you know the doughnut

was invented in the in the 19th century?

Dutch settlers invented it when they came to America.

They actually called it by a different name, though.

Olykoek.

It means oil cake.

What?

Son of a bitch.

Didn't see that coming.

Do you know why they taste so good?

No, why do doughnuts taste so good?

It's the hole.

What?

It's the hole.

A 16-year-old kid invented the hole in 1847.

I take your knight.

Son of a gun.

Anyway.

Anyways, his name was Hanson Gregory.

He was a seaman on a lime trading ship.

Evidently, he didn't like the way the cook

was making these cakes.

When you would bite into one,

the inside was too greasy and doughy.

So, cook it longer.

He did that.

Although he cooked it longer,

the outside would be burnt or overcooked

and so Gregory had this idea, punch a hole

through the center of the cake making sure

that the outside was as evenly cooked as the inside.

And voila, doughnuts.

How do you know this shit?

I know all sorts of trivial shit.

You actually arrest people.

Paul, you there?

- Yeah, I'm here. - What's up, Eleanor?

There's a problem up at the state hospital.

They need you up there right away.

Is it serious?

I think so.

Chief Marchesi is headed up there now.

I'm on my way, over and out.

Over and out.

One for the road?

Jesus Christ.

Getting everything you need there, Wyatt?

Yeah, boss.

Just let me get one more picture of these teeth on her

and I think I'm done.

Can I take Paul off your hands?

Please, before he throws up.

How's it going, Paul?

Considering the circumstances, okay I guess.

You need to memorize this file.

Escapee's name is Milton Treadwell,

a retarded 30-year-old.

Obviously dangerous.

What the hell happened here?

Well, we know the incident started here.

They were prepping Milton for his weekly shower

and well, we only have one survivor

and he can't really tell us what happened.

He's pretty fucked up.

How many orderlies does it take to shower this guy?

Evidently he didn't like taking them.

He either found some opportunity

or something pissed him off.

Some of these asylum employees have been known

not to be real angels.

That guy over there, total asshole.

I arrested him for smacking around his girlfriends,

urinating in public, drug possession.

He probably had it coming when it came to Milton.

Anyway, after the ruckus, it's out that door.

Takes care of business over there.

Ends up two floors down at the cafeteria.

The boys found two more bodies down there.

Then he's out the kitchen door and into the night.

Let's talk about this over a slice. I'm hungry.

There you go, Paul.

Skeedaddle.

Fuck you.

Hey.

What?

What's that?

What?

What's that right there?

It's a corpse.

Yeah, and do they walk?

What?

Do they walk?

They're dead.

Right, so put down your goddamn coffee cup

and put him in a bag.

Jesus.

Shh, listen.

Do you hear that?

Ah.

It's pretty.

June, June, June.

Hi, Ash.

How you been, baby?

Got something for me?

Who's been naughty or nice?

Santa Claus has come to town.

So, Erma.

How's it going?

My condolences.

We weren't close.

Say, I had a job come up.

I need a person with a car.

I could use a job.

I have a kid now.

What?

My sister's kid.

She lives with me now.

She's...

Upstairs.

Sleeping.

Uh.

Ah.

Oh my goodness.

Dear.

Do you have any music?

Jesus Christ, seven feet tall,

350 pounds, hysterical strength.

It says here he's been institutionalized

since he was 10 years old.

I'm the one who brought him in.

No kidding?

No kidding.

That was a bad night.

I had friends in the department at the hospital

who turned in their resignation after that night.

No one had ever seen anything so awful.

What did he do?

It was the mother.

That's her.

Iva Treadwell.

That woman was goofier than a wooden watch.

She was mad.

What happened?

It's a pretty sad story.

When Milton was born he almost died.

He was breach.

The doctors got him out but they had to use the forceps

so there was brain damage.

Treadwells loved that boy just the same.

But with Milton's damage, things got difficult

as he got older.

There were reports of pets going missing

in a certain part of town.

Milton lived in that part of town.

He was 10.

Dogs?

And cats.

He was luring pets and killing them.

How'd he get caught?

Mr. Treadwell found the carcasses in the basement.

That was the final straw.

He walked out and was never heard from again.

He didn't report it?

I think he just wanted out.

Iva had some issues herself.

She was psychotic.

Things really spiraled down when she had to fend

for the boy and herself.

Then she started neglecting her medication.

Something made Iva click that day.

I honestly think it was heartbreak.

The resentment of having the love of her life

walk out on her and leave her to care for

a retarded animal killer by herself

just got to be too much.

One day she was making breakfast.

Bacon to be exact.

That woman took that hot pan full of grease

and dumped it all over her boy's head.

She turn herself in?

No.

No?

It was another six months before we learned

what happened to Milton.

Iva panicked.

She knew if anybody saw that boy's wounds she'd be done.

So she tended the wounds herself

and hid him away from society in her basement.

For six months that boy was down in the basement?

Milton wasn't really out in the public eye much

so no one noticed he was missing.

He went to a special school in the next county

so the school in town wouldn't have noticed him absent.

Man oh man.

Six months went by, that boy never saw the light of day.

Iva kept him chained to a pipe in the basement

so he wouldn't leave the house.

How'd she get caught?

Couple of transients came into the station

late one night and turned themselves in.

They'd broken into the Treadwell basement

looking for valuables to pawn.

That's when they found Milton.

They told us there was a deformed boy

chained in a basement on Lincoln Street.

I almost feel sorry for Milton.

Look, you meet up with that psycho

you put a bullet in his head.

He doesn't know any different.

Milton stopped progressing which means he still thinks

he's 10 years old.

Before this situation tonight, there was another incident

several years before you came on board.

We had to take that SOB down with an elephant dart.

He literally ripped another inmate's arm off

over a pudding pack.

A pudding pack?

After that he was in solitary.

How'd he get out of solitary?

Somebody fucked up.

As far as I'm concerned, we're looking for an oversized

break neck man child with retard strength.

What if we talk to his mother?

Maybe she knows where he went.

Maybe he went back home.

The Treadwell house burned down years ago.

There's an apartment complex there now.

She told us everything we know.

Well?

Iva killed herself two weeks after we arrested her.

Hung herself in her cell.

I need to go to the men's room.

What's your name?

Nina.

What are you doing here?

I live here.

You, you live here?

I got here yesterday.

My parents died.

Your parents died?

We were in a car wreck.

And, and why are you here?

Erma's my aunt.

Oh.

You hurt much?

A little.

The doctor said I had a bad concussion,

but I'm lucky.

He said I'd be a little off.

Well, if it's worth anything, you seem pretty okay to me.

Nina's a pretty name.

Do you live here?

No.

Well, kind of.

Uh, depends, I guess.

It's a place to stay sometimes.

Yeah, Erma, Erma and I are good friends.

Was Erma your mom's sister or your dad's?

I think my mom.

I never knew Erma.

My parents didn't really talk about her much.

Hmm.

The Rabbit King.

I used to read this to my little girl.

You have a daughter?

No, I, I used to.

She died several years ago.

How did she die?

Um a car hit her.

She was across the street at her friend's house.

And I called her to come home for dinner.

Then I heard the horn.

I came outside and there's this old man

kneeling in front of his car

over my baby.

And all I could see were her feet sticking out.

God, oh God.

That man felt so awful.

He was just, he just couldn't stop in time.

Gosh, she's just, yeah.

She used to cross that street every day.

I'm sorry.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm, oh, I am so sorry.

I still, oh, still a little messed up

from last night I guess.

Mmm.

You like music?

Yeah.

Yeah?

What do you like?

Sisters of Mercy, the Cure.

Really?

My dad listened to them.

He liked the weird stuff.

No, no, I like 'em too.

I think we're gonna be good friends.

Ya have one of these?

No.

It's yours.

Really?

Yeah.

I can get another one.

Fuck.

Erma, you didn't tell me Nina was living with you?

What?

Nina.

You didn't tell me you had a kid staying here.

So, it just happened.

My sister's dead, now she's living with me.

Yeah.

That's what she just said.

I didn't even know you had a sister.

We weren't close.

Shit.

God, I wouldn't have had Ash come over last night

if I knew she was here.

What's the big deal, she was sleeping.

God, Erma.

I need coffee, oh.

What you need is some food.

She needs to eat.

Well, I'll take her and get a burger later.

Look, I got to make a couple runs for Ash

and then I'm at the club but I'll be back

in a couple days with groceries.

I hope you're using condoms.

Ash gave me a job.

Just be careful with him, Erma.

It's one job.

I got to do something until the money comes in

to take care of the kid.

All right.

Bye sweetie.

Bye.

Hey.

Just be careful with him, okay?

He's not right.

Great um, hmm.

90.

It's mother...

Fuck you, fish.

Hello.

Hello.

Huh.

Woo!

Good morning.

How can I help ya?

Mornin'.

I'm from distribution.

I'm here to see your buyer.

I have a special Mary Kaye 59 Stratocaster

he may be interested in.

I haven't seen you in here before.

I'm from the North County branch.

Please step over here, please.

Okay, stop.

Turn around, face me, please.

Hands up.

You'll get it back when your appointment's over.

Sir, your appointment's here.

Oh, Mr. Ash.

Hello, Mr. Ash.

Hello.

Please come down.

Follow him.

Mr. Ash, we finally meet.

My apologies for the late face-to-face introduction.

We keep things cloak and dagger

until we work with colleagues for a few months.

You understand.

Absolutely.

May I offer you a drink, Blood and Sand, perhaps,

a Dirty Martini?

No thank you.

Now, we can go straight to business.

Uh, you mentioned on the phone that have something

to show to me.

Look at her.

Such an angel.

This is from Ash.

He is one of our distributors.

He brought us a picture of a perfect little angel.

What do you think?

She will do.

She will do.

It's okay.

That is all now.

You can take this back.

I have no need for it.

When do you think you can make the delivery?

It'll take a few days.

Hmm, well then, we'll talk in a few days.

Bobby.

Yeah, boss.

Mr. Ash is making his way up.

Oh, I'll be waiting with bated breath, sir.

Very good.

It was nice to put a face behind the name, Mr. Ash.

You can see yourself out.

Mr. Ash.

I take pride in the ability to read people.

Throughout our meeting, you had the look of reluctance

on your face.

Now you must understand

that I'm running a very lucrative business.

We have consequential clients

who pay a considerable amount of money

to do unspeakable things.

And we fulfill them, Mr. Ash.

Now, some of those things are hard to look past

in the beginning,

but, what do they say,

money talks, bullshit walks.

I like to think the people who work for me as my partners

not just distributors.

Now, you can understand how important it is

that I can trust these partners.

I need people I can rely on.

If I cannot rely on you, Mr. Ash,

we have a problem.

I hope you can understand that.

Good day, Mr. Ash.

We need to lay some cards on the table.

I'm not so hot on this situation.

I don't know why you're sitting here in front of me.

I, I, I'd figure that I, aw,

I would be the last person that my sister

would want her daughter to come and live with.

She and I never got along.

I don't even really know why we went to the hospital

after I got the call from CPS.

Maybe curiosity.

All the way to the hospital I was wondering why

my sister thought of me to be your guardian.

I think it was an olive branch,

strange olive branch from the dead.

But what the hell, maybe it'll be something special,

a nice change in my shitty little life.

Knowing my sister's ego, maybe that was her reason.

But that would be giving her too much credit.

You mother was a bitch.

You wanna know why you never met me?

I used to date your dad.

All the shitty luck I had with men

and then I met your father.

He was so handsome and very kind

and I fell in love with him

on our third date.

And one day I introduced him to my sister.

Wanted to show him off, show her I had something

she'd never have.

And he took one look at her and I was done.

She was always the prettier one, the smarter one,

the sane one.

She was always steps ahead and I was always in her shadow.

She was the golden bitch.

He was gonna take me to Japan.

I always wanted to go there.

Son of a bitch.

Erma.

Erma.

Oh, hi, Lowell.

I didn't see you standing there.

I haven't seen the rent check yet, Erma!

This is Lowell.

His dick got blown off in the war.

You're two months back.

You're two months back rent, Erma.

I'll have the money in a couple of days.

You're always saying that.

- I just got a job. - I'll have the money.

I'm serious, Erma, I better have that

rent check or I'm gonna serve you a letter.

I'll be by the house in two days.

This is bullshit.

Two days, Erma, two days.

He doesn't have a penis?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's me.

Hang on.

Can you put away the groceries?

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know where it is.

Okay bye.

I got to see a person about my new job tomorrow

so you're on your own.

You can have bologna and bread

but don't go crazy 'cause it's got to last a couple days

until June gets here with the food.

I'm going to bed.

Uh.

They're clean.

Just a couple of kids parkin'.

10-4.

Okay, I'm gonna let you guys off with a warning.

No more parking.

Yes, sir, thank you.

A lotta bad things happen out here.

Thank you, sir.

Also, the other day we had a mental patient

escape from the asylum on the other side of the hill.

We haven't found him yet.

He's extremely dangerous.

So if I were you, take your girlfriend, go home,

lock the door.

Goin' home right now, sir.

Thank you, Officer.

All right, stay safe, have a good night.

Come in, Paul.

Go ahead, Eleanor.

Just got a phone call

from Harvey Stettler's mother.

She hasn't seen him for a day and a half.

She said he went to work on Monday but never came home.

Maybe he went to the casino or something.

Can you check it out, Paul.

Yeah, on my way.

Harv, you here?

Eleanor, this is Paul.

I need you to call in, I need you to call the coroner's

down to Harv's place right now.

And call the chief.

He's gonna wanna be down here, too.

Is everything okay, Paul?

It's, it's Harv.

I found him.

There's, there's a lot of blood.

Days have passed and the princess

would practice her training to keep her mind elsewhere.

But she missed her father, the Rabbit King.

She was losing patience.

She was starting to get that itch.

What are you doing here?

What the hell you doing here?

Walking.

You're walking in the wrong place.

Where are you from?

You always trespass on people's property?

And hand that over.

Hand that over.

Nice.

Headphones, too.

I don't want this.

I like Floyd.

Backpack too.

Bologna sucks.

Gimme the top, too.

Consider this a toll.

Now, take your little sword.

Take your little sandwich.

Take your terrible little tape

and get the fuck outta here.

Don't come back.

You say anything I'll find you

and I'll slit your throat.

Where are they from?

Utah.

Hitchhikers.

They're very pretty.

Hey, Ben.

I think we should give 'em the cocktail.

I can't handle all the thumping and screaming.

I visited the Belgian for the first time yesterday.

I got a taste of what happens to the product

after the delivery.

It gave me the willies.

We have an issue.

Yeah, what's that?

The boys went out the other night and painted the town.

Gavin had a little too much to drink.

He mentioned your name in a conversation.

No shit.

Hey, Gavin.

Come here a minute, will ya?

How you doing, son?

Good.

We got a little problem we got to sort out.

Sure, Ash.

I hear tell you and the boys went out

and painted the town the other night.

Yeah, that was a crazy night.

Yeah.

It's always good to let off a little steam

now and then.

You have a lot to drink, did ya?

We had a few.

Yeah, well, the others being good employees

they had some concerns and they brought it

to Will and I's attention.

You happened to mention my name in a conversation?

Did you mention my name in a conversation?

I might have.

You might have.

You better think, son.

Look, Ash, we met some girls that were looking for work

and I knew you were looking so I...

Did I ask for your help?

Ash.

Who were these girls?

I've seen 'em in the tavern before.

Local gals.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The number one rule is to never mention my name.

We never mention names.

I know, Ash, I fucked up.

It won't happen again.

Yeah, I know.

Time's a-wasting, gentlemen.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

You're not supposed to be here.

She's not supposed to be...

Shh.

Looks like we're victims of bad timing,

wouldn't you agree?

Hey, you wanna play with us?

What the hell was that?

Is she dead?

No.

Not yet.

What?

She's a virgin.

Hey, hey, you said animals only.

This is too perfect.

This'll bring us to the new level, closer to Belial.

We can't do this.

Wh-what about the body?

I have a shovel in the trunk of my car.

We'll dig a hole over there.

You wanted to be a part of this little group.

After Whiskers, there's no turning back.

Anyway, we'll just make everything go away.

I always have a shovel in my car.

Hurry up.

You're digging the hole yourself.

Pussy.

Fucking bitch.

Just do it.

This is better than cats.

The princess was warned

how dangerous the dark woods

would be for a young girl to travel.

However, her father, the Rabbit King,

had found her in the nick of time

to slaughter the evil creatures

who were, in essence, attempting to devour her soul.

"Behold, my princess," declared the Rabbit King.

"Keep your heart full and we will always"

"find our way back to one another."

"Your Rabbit King has returned."

Hey.

Hey!

Shit.

Shit.

Hey.

Oh, yeah, you must be Erma, huh?

Yeah.

Hey, come on in.

Uh, have a seat.

This is your first time, huh?

Ash was saying you may be a little, uh, green.

Yeah, pretty much.

Well, the job's pretty much a cake walk, all right.

Few deliveries, then you'll be back home

in the trailer park before you know it.

You really don't have to do that much.

You just have to...

Shit, goddamn it!

Anyway, it's pretty much in and out job, all right.

You show up with the goods

and they give you the cash.

There's about 30 deliveries in that bag.

Each one's measured and labeled

for which customer it's for.

What is it?

That?

Quaaludes, Ecstasy, and poppers.

Is this gonna be dangerous?

No.

Those are club drugs.

You'll be selling to college students,

clubbers, and fucking rich kids, all right?

Oh another thing, don't mess with the supply either, okay?

Ash does not fuck around with that shit.

If the customers don't get what they want

he'll find out about it.

And never, mention his name, ever.

Want something to drink?

No.

All right, you're gonna go to Everett and Ferndales

as part of your drops.

That's six hours away.

Yeah, but that's where the business is, okay?

They like their drugs.

I really hope this isn't gonna be a problem

'cause you start today.

I don't have any gas.

That's all right, we take care of your gas

and your hotel expenses.

No shit.

You take care of Ash, he takes care of you.

I'm sure you notice these beauty marks

I have all over my face.

Well, a couple weeks ago, I was in a car wreck.

Killed a whole family except their little girl.

I was gonna go to prison, but he got me out of it.

The girl lived, huh?

Yeah.

Anyway, you need anything, I am your cicerone.

You like shrooms?

I guess.

Mmm, I got the Scandinavian species.

Grown in the best cow shit in the valley.

I don't know if you're up on current events

but there's a reason I need a job.

That's all right.

I'm sure we can figure out other forms of payment.

I'm not gonna make things uncomfortable, okay?

I'm gonna actually make them very easy.

I'm gonna lay you all the cards out on the table

and really all you have to do is draw.

So I'm gonna go in the back, shut the door behind me.

If you decide you wanna spend a little time

with a fun guy for a little bag of fungi,

all you have to do is knock.

You think that...

Hey, shh.

Let me finish.

If you decide to leave, so be it.

No hard feelings.

But I'm gonna go back here, shut the door.

It's up to you now, all right?

Come on, it's okay.

I live here.

My parents died.

I live with my aunt.

Is that your name?

Harvey.

Here.

It's okay.

Hello?

It's Erma.

Hi, Erma.

I'm not coming for a couple of days.

I have some stuff to do.

Gotta go out of town.

Okay.

You've got enough bologna and bread

so you should be good for awhile.

June will be there tomorrow.

That's fine.

Don't fuck with anything.

I got to go.

Hello?

Hey, kiddo, it's Sydney.

Hi, Sydney.

How are things going?

Okay.

Are you getting along with Erma.

Yeah, she's fine.

She says crappy things sometimes,

but I just ignore her.

Is she taking care of you?

Yeah.

Can I talk to her?

She's not here. She's working.

Are you alone?

Yeah, but it's okay, she's coming home.

You're not supposed to be alone, Nina.

How's your head?

It hurts sometimes, but,

but it's fine.

Is it just headaches?

What was that?

I knocked a glass over.

I got to go.

You can stay here.

There.

Good night, Harvey.

Look at her, so innocent and sweet.

Just like the little kittens and puppies

you used to bop on the head when you were a little tyke.

My dear boy, what makes you think

she's any different.

She'll soon realize you're just a giant retard,

an oversized imbecile.

Nobody knows you like your mama.

You'll always be a bad little boy.

What's going, Ash?

Gentlemen.

We got a special job, very good pay.

What?

It's not the usual.

Little girl?

Jesus, Ash.

Hey guys, what are you havin'?

Johnny Walker, four fingers, neat.

Fuzzy Navel.

Fuzzy Navel?

I like Fuzzy Navels.

So we're doing kids now?

I promised the Belgian.

Belgian?

How'd you talk to the Belgian?

I met with him.

How do you do that?

We've been working for him.

I couldn't tell ya.

We're on probation.

Do you know what they say about that guy.

It's like urban legend shit, man.

I met with him for the first time the other day.

And I can tell ya, it ain't urban legend.

One Johnny Walker,

one Fuzzy Navel.

I was a little taken back when I saw what happened

to the shipments.

Man.

Look, the less you two know the better.

I made a decision, make more bank.

You probably know by now, that ain't no going back.

We need to go forward.

When's this got to be done?

Couple days.

We have the end of the month shipment from Calgary

and I got to be the receiver.

Money talks, bullshit walks, right?

Thank you, Ben.

So, we have plan?

Yeah.

So this little girl, she's the niece of a gal

by the name of Erma Ritz, one of June's friends.

Right, that house we were at the other night.

Right.

She works for me now.

She's out on her first job.

When she gets back, I tell her

she needs to make another drop.

When she leaves, grab the kid.

How do we know she's gonna be alone?

Maybe a babysitter, she might be at a park or something.

Anybody at the house is collateral damage.

We got to get in get the job done quick and quiet.

We'll go in with a couple of hush-ems as a precaution.

And if they're not there, we'll wait.

When they come back, grab and go.

The body at Slough Town Auto bludgeoned to death.

May Harv rest in peace.

Damn fine mechanic.

State hospital, five bodies.

One in critical condition.

This morning,

three dead teenagers found in Watson's Field.

Do you think they're related?

All within a three mile radius?

I don't think that's a coincidence.

Not doing it.

So the new guys gets in there with some tweezers

and he's just, he's just yanking at it.

Get that thing out.

And I swear it's like three inches long.

The biggest dick plug...

Tell me something,

do you know any other small towns

who have a coroner's office this big?

There are eight coroners out there and four cops.

Their office is as big as Seattle's for crying out loud.

Been with the department two months now, right?

Two and a half.

Two and a half.

Better get used to it, son.

The town's cursed.

It's been this way since it was founded.

I don't know what it is about Slough Town

but it's always attracted the undesirables,

white trash, drug addicts, dealers,

career criminals, prostitution, smuggling, whack jobs.

Don't get me wrong, there are good people here, too.

But if you wanted to give the Earth an enema,

this is where you'd put the hose.

I'd be lying if I said stress didn't come with the job.

I can tell you when I first started,

I was as pretty as you.

We got the scene photos of the dead teenagers.

I know these teenagers.

Fucked up little rich kids living on the hill

rebelling against their parents

who really don't give a shit.

They were so involved gutting that cat,

they didn't even see the attacker coming.

Tell you what, one of my kids ever got involved

in that Satan worship crap, I'd beat the shit out of 'em.

Paul, we need to drive up the hill and talk to the parents

of these teenagers.

I doubt there's any involvement.

Probably don't even know their kids are missing.

But we shouldn't rule it out.

Hey, Paul, how you doing?

Considering the circumstances, swell.

We can look at the bright side.

Huh?

At least Slough Town's cat population is safe again.

You are one crazy bastard.

Oh, excuse me.

Hello, Lowell, what can we do for you?

I got a tenant in my rental,

I need you to get rid of.

Erma Ritz.

That bitch is three months late on her rent.

And she don't give a shit.

Have you talked to her?

When I can find her.

And when I can,

she's rude and insulting.

Two days ago she was in the cafe.

I stood up.

She said I ain't got a penis.

Hey, Eleanor.

Yeah, Chief.

Can you get Lowell here a form?

He needs to evict someone.

Absolutely.

Will you follow me, please.

Jesus Christ.

One year, I retire.

Hi, Harvey.

I had a dream last night, Harvey.

I saw my mom and dad.

They said they sent you to protect me.

My dad always said the mask was magic.

Thank you for saving me yesterday.

What you did was okay.

That's what the Rabbit King would do.

Bad people get what they deserve.

They were bad, Harvey.

Dying is what enemies do best.

That's what the Rabbit King says.

There, perfect.

Fan your hands to help them dry.

Far, far away in an earlier time in another world

there was a king of kings.

He was the ruler of all kingdoms.

He was the Rabbit King.

Dawn had broken waking the Rabbit King from his slumber,

but was not in the morning.

Harvey.

Hello?

Ow!

Hi, Harvey.

I miss Mom and Dad.

My head hurts.

Were you laughing at me?

Harvey.

This is Harvey.

He's my friend.

He protects me.

If you hurt me, he'll hurt you.

If you are mean, he is mean.

You are mean, Aunt Erma.

Harvey?

What did you do?

June is nice.

She didn't do anything bad.

Why did you do that?

This isn't good, Harvey.

Bad.

She was probably bad, huh, Harvey?

Good morning, Paul.

Mornin', lady.

The eviction notice for Erma Ritz.

Thanks, Eleanor.

On 60 First Avenue.

Good morning, Chief.

Apartment 18, C like in Charles.

Good morning, Eleanor.

18C 10.

740 in five, facing units that have come

on the extra sirens.

We're leaving.

Couple of hikers found a body.

Swell.

Some guy fishing, took a Bowie knife through the chest.

Man.

Possibly our guy.

Single stab through the chest plate.

Hysterical strength.

740 in five, facing units that have come...

What's that?

The eviction notice for Erma Ritz.

I was meeting Lowell at the rental to serve her.

Hmm.

We can do it on the way.

Body ain't going anywhere.

Uh, what's the job?

Harvey, can you get me some milk?

What are you doing here?

I live here with Erma.

You, what?, what.

What the fuck. Where's Erma?

There's a dead Jap lady

and a hooker in my shed.

You stay here, the cops are coming.

No, go to your house.

No.

Everybody dies.

Holy shit.

You all right, sweetheart?

That's Ash Walker's car.

Who's Ash Walker?

Mr. Walker's a clever son of a bitch.

I've been watching him for years.

Never been able to get anything on him.

You ever see that car, you know something bad

is going down.

I'll go up with you.

Paul, go around the house,

come through the back door.

Are you okay?

There are bad men here.

How many are there?

Two.

You're the girl from the car accident.

Do you remember me?

Stay right where you are, Mr. Walker.

I will not hesitate to put a bullet in your head.

Drop the gun and hold your hands up where I can see them.

I didn't do that.

Drop the gun and put up your hands.

Sweetheart, I need you to run down to the patrol car

and lock yourself in.

Just down the...

Fuck!

Nina?

Nina?

Are you all right?

Sydney?

You shouldn't be here.

What?

Well, well, well, if it isn't Little Miss Muffin

and her Fairy Grandmother.

What is this, Grand Central Station?

As chief engineer, I'd like to invite you two in

for a tea party.

You aren't very talkative, are you, Red.

Right over here, darlin'.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, where's the fire?

Hold on there, Red, don't go just yet.

Every Jane needs a Tarzan.

No, Harvey, leave her alone.

Mother fucker!

I'll get the trunk.

Home sweet home.

You can put your things down over there.

This was my husband's office.

He left a few years ago.

Those are his.

He always bought them, never built them.

The futon folds out into a bed.

And I have some kids coming from the center tomorrow

to help clean this place up

so you can start fresh.

Okay.

How do you like the room?

It's fine.

It'll take some getting used to.

I've always shared a room with another girl.

It's different from the hospital.

I can imagine.

It's gonna take time

and some adjustment.

We'll get you into some programs

that'll help fine-tune your social skills

and help you find a job.

We'll see if we can get you

into some community college classes, too.

That sounds good.

I'm gonna go make some lunch.

Feel free to settle in.

It'll be nice having someone else around.

The young queen would never forget the day

her father, the Rabbit King, died.

He laid to rest in her arms knowing it was his time

to move on to the other world.

It was time to say goodbye to his daughter.

And in comfort knowing she would carry on his legacy

as the new queen.

Many years had passed since the quietus of the Rabbit King

and the princess had become queen

all those years past.

She had been alone to run the kingdom on her own.

At times, she would look out the window

from her tower overlooking her kingdom.

It was a daunting task, having so much burden.

She missed her father and at times her heart would sink.

How are things going?

Fine.

I hope you like bologna sandwiches.

Bologna sandwiches sound great.

Great.

Five minutes.

Before the Rabbit King had passed,

the young queen would always remember that one thing

he always said to her with that twinkle

in his eye.

"Never fear as I am always in your heart."

"For love is stronger than evil."

"Always hold me in your heart as I do with you"

"and I will always find my way to you"

"for we will always be beloved beasts."
