Thank you.

Oh my god.

You'll never catch me, Doctor.

Try as you may.

For I've learned the secrets of your trap all too well.

Help! It's him!

It's him over there!

And my next victim will be personal, Doctor.

I wouldn't attempt to move, sir.

I'll get you a doctor.

I am a doctor.

What time is it?

Five to midnight, sir. But you really shouldn't try to get up.

I'll get you a doctor.

I'm telling you, not only is it the best pizza in Bay City, it is the best pizza

in the entire... Broly, please, that's not a good thing.

Oh, man.

Where did he come from?

Whoa, easy, easy, easy.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry to see you. Whoa.

You'll be fine.

You'll be all right.

Wait!

Are you all right?

I almost shattered my eardrum. What did?

That high-pitched sound.

What sound? I didn't hear a thing.

I can't let you go.

I must put an end to you.

That guy just killed someone.

Or is going to.

Why can't we ever...

Come on out

Come

out I want to help

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Wait a minute. I thought you said he was about to kill somebody

Whoa.

A hawk.

You don't see those big guys around too often.

He just disappeared.

Maybe he hopped the wall.

No, I would have heard him climbing.

Well, wherever he went, he's not here now.

Whoa. What?

Forehead. Let me get something for that.

A macabre tragedy struck Bay City earlier tonight when piano virtuoso

Trevor Stanfield was attacked just minutes after he left the stage of

Beacon Hall.

Hey, John, are you listening to this?

You can't even go to an uptown concert anymore.

So far, no reports on Stanfield's condition, but eyewitnesses say the

musician was severely wounded by a man wielding a blade pulled from a silver

-headed cane.

Johnny, where are you going?

Teresa.

Father? I came as soon as I heard.

Came from where?

Where were you this time?

You didn't even make it to the concert. If you were there... Donny, I am sorry.

I'm sorry. I tried. I really did try.

This is also insane.

Who could do such a thing?

Insanity is exactly what we're dealing with.

Or rather, lack of it.

Please, let me get you out of here.

What are you talking about?

I am not like you.

I don't run away from things.

His right hand was all but severed.

Which means we've got to do microscopic surgery to reconnect the nerves.

There's the doctor.

Doctor, how is he?

I'm afraid it's some serious news.

His right hand was all but severed.

What? We're going to do a microscopic process.

Oh, God.

John.

What are you doing here?

Ouch. What happened to your face?

Ran into a bush.

It's all right. Oh, God.

I'm fine.

You know that man?

You know, I've seen him someplace before, but I can't remember where.

What about the guy with the blade?

No lead.

No apparent enemies. No history of threats. No obvious motive.

Excuse me.

My next victim.

Impress me, Doctor.

We need to talk.

Oh, it's you again.

Look, I have to get my daughter home.

I want to help you.

I really appreciate the thought, but trust me, you don't want to get

involved.

Um, John, you want to tell me what that was all about?

You know that woman?

No, I'll catch you there.

No, it's Pani's remedy.

It'll help you relax.

I don't believe this.

I don't want to relax.

I want to be with Trevor.

I want to know who did this and why.

Sweetheart, I just spoke to the doctors. Trevor's going to be in surgery most of

the night, so you may as well get some rest while you can.

Come on.

You really aren't going to be any help while you're in this state of mind.

Yes, you're right about that.

So,

Will you humor your old man?

You had something to do with the attack on Trevor, didn't you?

What makes you think that?

Because evil has always spilled out of your work into my life.

You promised Mother before she died that you would keep all these horrors away

from us.

Sadly, you can't just will evil away.

The man that attacked Trevor is here because of you?

Yes. Then you should have stayed away completely as you promised.

I did try to do that.

Come on.

Let's put you to bed.

As hard as it was for me,

I really did try.

What will happen now, father?

You are still like your mother.

I've been expecting you.

You were in tune with the crystal. You reacted to its powers.

Come in.

Almost took my head off.

Crystal is the core element of the planet.

She resonates to the frequency of the Earth's soul.

She harnesses time and motion and makes possible spiritual as

well as...

Physical transformations.

The Hark.

Oh, you are gifted.

I'm sorry about the scratches.

Purely defensive, I can assure you, not knowing who or what you were.

It all began when I was about 12. I was with my father in Africa.

He'd been studying a tribe in Tanganyika.

My father became friends with their shaman.

who initiated him into the mysteries of shape-shifting transformations.

My father was struck down by dark magicians.

But before he buried my son, he transferred his power to me.

You think about the blessing and the curse.

A hopeless quest to try to tip the balance away from evil and towards

good.

I know something about that.

Yes, I believe you do.

Well, it was challenging enough trying to right wrongs in my own time.

But the added burden of discovering access to the past made my life a

shambles.

You see, I went back.

I went back because I thought that I could bring to justice the most heinous

murderer in history.

Instead, I unleashed a monster into time and eternity.

The man you were chasing?

His name is Jack the Ripper.

You came here to attack your daughter's fiance?

No. No, not per se.

His intention is to taunt me by brutalizing my loved ones before finally

killing me. And you're thinking about giving yourself up to him?

Well, if I don't satisfy his thirst for blood, my daughter will be next.

What you should do is offer Jack somebody he's not expecting.

You're planning on taking your daughter out of here?

Yes, as soon as possible.

I've already had a sense that he's got within 100 yards.

Yeah, he did last night.

If he makes that mistake again, I'll be ready for him.

This man is not only deadly, he's deadly clever.

He looted capture for years and has had over 100.

I'm convinced he's responsible for many of this century's unsolved murders.

Come to the club tonight.

I can slip you out the back through the garage.

If we get lucky...

Jack will walk right into our trap.

Hey, Raleigh.

Hey, Ryan.

John here?

Yeah. Hey, Johnny.

So, any leads on the guy with the blade?

Nothing. Whoever the lunatic was, he disappeared into thin air.

Just the man I've been looking for.

Look, John, it's Jonathan Chase that I saw you talking to.

I want you to tell me everything you can about him.

He didn't commit the crime.

There's something almost as strange about him as crime itself.

What do you mean by strange?

Well, apparently he worked for the police department back in the early 80s.

His specialty was using animals to solve crime.

You know what kind of animals he used?

Well, different type, but most often a black panther and a large hawk.

A hawk?

All right.

What do you know that I need to know?

Chase is trying to protect his daughter.

I'd give him the room to do it.

Yeah, sure.

But if there is one more of these attacks and you've held back information

that could have prevented it...

Bye, Raleigh.

See you later.

Why are you sticking your neck so far out for this guy? I mean, he's a pretty

odd bird.

You have no idea.

I was hoping you wouldn't be here.

It was all some terrible dream, but it's true.

I didn't dream it.

No, but the news this morning is far from discouraging.

What?

Well, the surgeons did work all the way through the night, and the prognosis for

Trevor is extremely promising.

What does that mean? And don't protect me. I want the truth.

The truth is that I know the lead surgeon very well, and he expects that

given time, Trevor will absolutely regain the full use of his hand.

I've got to go to him.

No, Teresa, I'm afraid you can't.

Father, you gave up the right to tell me what I can and cannot do a long time

ago. Under other circumstances, you'd be absolutely right. I wouldn't argue with

you at all, but... The man that did this to Trevor is still at large. I can't

have you taking any unnecessary risks.

All I'm asking for is 24 hours so I can get this whole thing sorted out.

So you know who did this and you're going after him?

I have no option.

And how can you do what the entire police department can't do?

Darling, that was something that I promised your mother I would never

reveal to you.

Yes, all those dark mysteries never spoken of in front of me.

24 hours.

And I swear there will be no more secrets.

Ever.

Dr. Jonathan Chase.

Ah, Dr. Chase. Welcome.

Go this way.

I'm hardly in the mood for night clubbing, Father.

This isn't a party, sweetheart.

This is about stopping you from becoming a villain.

He was at the hospital.

Yes. Our host and benefactor.

It was a wonderful performance, Mr. Donovan.

Mr. Wilson.

Hi. He's here.

Yeah, I know.

What are you two saying, that the madman is here in this room?

Yes, it's what we wanted.

If I take you out the back way, we can isolate Jack and corner him. The police

are coming.

Why? This guy kills for sport.

If he spots our setup and runs, someone could get hurt.

Yeah, you're probably right.

Ready?

Ladies and gentlemen, let's give a warm, healthy soul welcome to our featured

artist this evening.

Sing.

I don't know how I feel when I see your body.

You don't know what I want when I have you next to me. You don't know what

I'll do when you touch my body. Do you think about me too?

Oh, yes.

Oh,

great-grandmama managed to slip my grasp.

But not you, my dear.

Not you.

I'll be watching.

You haven't told me exactly how.

We both have our own little secrets.

Okay, we're here to serve and protect.

Where's Chase and his daughter?

On their way to a safe house.

I got something better for you.

Damn it, John. That wasn't the deal.

You're not interested in the guy who attacked the musician?

Slasher? Yeah.

He's here somewhere.

Listen, there are police all over this building. Now, you aren't going

anywhere. So how about you put the knife down and let the woman walk away, huh?

You really are very charming, officer.

I do wish we could get to know each other better.

We can.

Just let her go. I'm afraid you've underestimated who's in control here.

Now, back away.

Back away!

Hold her right there.

Cover the fire escape.

Get them back up here, now.

No place to go. Release the woman.

You are very lovely, my dear.

Good news.

I will intend to spend more time with you.

And I get the opportunity.

Time for a serious talk.

Look, John, picking on the guy with the knife, that's not your job. But you know

more than you told me. Now, I want some answers, and I'm not leaving here until

I get them.

Hey. Hey.

What did you say we put tonight behind us, huh?

You were just in over your head, right?

Yeah, some blade.

Well,

let me tell you what I found out.

And you fill in the gaps, okay?

Okay.

I recognized Jonathan Chase at the hospital.

Now, I couldn't place him at first, but then I remembered I'd seen his picture

in the papers.

Like I told you, he was a special consultant to the department on some

kind of usage of animals in police work.

But there was never any mention about how the program got started, and after a

number of major crimes were solved, the project, the file, suddenly ends. No

explanation.

And? And I'm waiting for one.

I want to know what you know.

Okay. But do me a favor. Let me get out of my work clothes, take a shower. I'll

meet you in the bar.

You promise?

Scott's honor.

Be prepared.

I just didn't say when.

I remember this place.

It's amazing.

You haven't been here since you were very little.

Why?

It's so beautiful.

So peaceful here.

Yeah, but it was anything but peaceful in those days.

When your mother died here, I decided I wanted to come here again.

Well, I'm looking forward to seeing it in the morning.

Is there still a swing in the big oak?

I'm not sure.

We'll take a look at first light.

Daddy?

Sorry I've said such harsh things.

Just upset by what's happened.

Get you to the hospital. No, no, no. I'll be all right. I'll touch myself.

Are you all right, Daddy?

It's all right, darling.

He's a friend.

I saw everything.

That panther, you... Yeah, I have a great deal to explain to you. What about

our man?

He looked like he was pretty badly hurt. Don't let him fool you.

There's more lives than a cat. He'll be back.

Can you get up?

Yeah.

Well, secret laboratory I was never allowed to see.

Until now, the timing never seemed right.

But if I keep going like this, I'm not going to be around much longer to

protect you.

You're a grown woman, for better or for worse.

What I'm about to tell you is part of your birthright.

Doctor Zinn.

What do you know about shape-shifting?

That's the ability to shift from human form into another species, isn't that

right? Yeah, exactly.

Common for thousands of years in the folklore and mythology of peoples

throughout the world.

From the Egyptians to the Greeks.

Norsemen to American Indians.

And you can do that, Daddy? You can shapeshift?

Yes, I can.

But I'd rather suspect that you can, too.

When I really learned how to harness the power, the gift,

I always tried to use it for good.

I was an undercover operative for the police, using the transformations to

fight crime.

But for me, the great adventure was to study the evolution of the animals that

I became.

I'm nearly an extension of the natural world.

Ever more complex animals are the forms of simple ones. So it makes perfect

sense that we, the human, the most complex animal of all, should have the

other's potential.

So why do you think I might have this power?

I've seen the way you react to nature.

upon you.

But I've never had any sense of it before.

Neither had I.

Until it was triggered by a single moment of great emotional distress.

Let the games begin.

So, my darling, now you know all my secrets.

And I understand why you had to do what you did.

I'll go and find our friend and we can leave.

Okay.

So

she

understands what it's all about now.

Yeah, we have to get you out of here. Yeah, right.

We'll go straight away.

I'll go scout the road.

Hello, Jonathan.

Now I know we can finish our business once and for all.

Let's invite your lovely daughter to come.

Go to hell.

Teresa.

Mr. Darling, come outside.

Daddy is dying to talk to you.

It's rude to keep people waiting, Teresa.

If you don't come outside...

Something nasty is going to happen to Daddy.

While I count to five, he stays alive. When I get to one,

his life is done.

Four.

Three.

Two.

You are

nothing

spiritually. We are one in purpose.

Hello Jonathan.

You okay? Yeah.

Where the hell are they?

Over there.

Now you really do know everything.
