"CITY SLAYER STRIKES AGAIN."

NEW YORK NIGHTTIME TERROR REACHES NEW PEAKS

"WITH THE DISCOVERY OF THE CITY SLAYER'S FOURTH VICTIM."

READING TRASHY TABLOIDS DOES NOT COUNT AS URBAN STUDIES, JONNY.

- YEAH, BUT IT SURE IS MORE INTERESTING, POP.

- WE HAD A DEAL.

YOU AGREED TO STUDY IF I BROUGHT YOU ALONG.

THIS IS VINCE VANCE, WELCOMING YOU TO ANOTHER EDITION

OF AD VANCE: THE BIG APPLE, SLICED AND DICED.

NEW YORK'S NUMBER ONE NEWS MAGAZINE.

WE'RE LIVE AT THE SCENE WHERE ONLY HOURS AGO

THE INFAMOUS CITY SLAYER STRUCK AGAIN,

SLAUGHTERING VICTIM NUMBER FOUR.

NO ONE IS MORE ENRAGED AT THESE SENSELESS MURDERS

THAN YOURS TRULY.

SO, ON BEHALF OF MY SHOW, I AM OFFERING A $25,000 REWARD...

TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND BUCKS?

FOR ANY INFORMATION THAT CAN BRING THIS PSYCHO TO JUSTICE.

THIS IS VINCE VANCE, LIVE FOR AD VANCE:

THE BIG APPLE, SLICED AND DICED.

WAIT, JONNY.

REMEMBER, YOU HAVE A DEAL WITH YOUR FATHER.

LIGHTEN UP, HADJ.

IF THIS ISN'T URBAN STUDIES, TELL ME WHAT IS.

ALL RIGHT, COOL IT, KID.

THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU TO SEE HERE.

GO HOME AND CATCH IT ON THE 6:00 NEWS.

OKAY, THAT'S A WRAP, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

THIS IS TROUBLE. I KNOW IT.

ON THE OTHER HAND, GOOD MEDICINE TASTE BITTER.

VINCE, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND? TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS?

JERRY, BABY, RELAX. TAKE A CHILL PILL.

THINK OF THE RATINGS.

WHO ARE YOU TWO CLOWNS?

TWO OF YOUR BIGGEST FANS, MR. VANCE.

YOU AND THE REST OF THE WORLD. YOU WANT MY AUTOGRAPH?

HERE, TAKE TWO. THEY'RE SMALL.

- CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT GUY?

- NO AND I'M SURE NO ONE ELSE DOES EITHER.

IF YOU ASK ME, THIS KILLER AIN'T HUMAN.

AN ANIMAL, THAT'S WHAT HE IS.

AN ANIMAL.

- VICTIM NUMBER FOUR.

- AN ANIMAL, AN ANIMAL.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

SLAUGHTERING VICTIM NUMBER FOUR.

JONNY.

JONNY, JONNY, WAKE UP.

I KNOW I CAN FIND THE CITY SLAYER.

- OH, IN YOUR DREAMS, MAN. - IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING, YES.

TRUST ME. I FEEL IT.

OKAY, THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

- NOW WHAT? - WE MAKE LIKE SHERLOCK HOLMES.

I HAVE ALREADY DEDUCED THAT THE MIDPOINT OF ALL THE MURDER SITES

IS GRAND CENTRAL STATION.

THE NEW YORK SUBWAY SYSTEM GIVES OUR KILLER

A THOUSAND ESCAPE ROUTES.

ELEMENTARY, MY DEAR HADJI.

BUT MAYBE PLAYING CHICKEN WITH 600 VOLTS

AND A COUPLE HUNDRED TONS OF TRAIN IS NOT TOO COOL.

EXACTLY.

IT IS NOT THE LIVE TUNNELS WE'RE INTERESTED IN.

IT IS THE DISUSED ONES.

THERE ARE MORE THAN 80 MILES OF ABANDONED TUNNEL

UNDER MANHATTAN ALONE.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS STUFF?

YOU TOO WOULD KNOW THIS IF YOU HAD READ YOUR FATHER'S ARTICLE

ON MODERN URBAN ARCHEOLOGY.

OH, YEAH, THAT WAS RIGHT ON TOP OF MY READING LIST.

CHILL. IT'S JUST A TRAIN.

LET US TRY THIS WAY.

I BET THIS PLACE HASN'T BEEN USED IN DECADES.

I THINK YOU WILL LOSE THAT PARTICULAR BET, MY FRIEND.

COME ON, HADJI. MOVE IT.

ARE YOU CERTAIN IT WAS A TIGER YOU SAW DOWN THERE?

HOW CAN YOU BE SURE IT'S THE CITY SLAYER?

HOW DO YOU KNOW THE INCIDENTS ARE RELATED?

THE CORONER HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO SHOW ME HIS REPORTS.

AND I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT THE INJURIES

ARE CONSISTENT WITH AN ATTACK BY A TIGER

OR SOME SIMILAR BIG CAT.

JONNY. JONNY QUEST.

I'M AFRAID WE HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.

NO FURTHER COMMENT.

YOU, THE KID WITH THE TOWEL ON HIS HEAD.

WHY DIDN'T THE BIG PUSSYCAT EAT YOU TOO?

YOU BETRAY YOUR IGNORANCE, SIR.

THIS IS NOT A TOWEL, IT IS A TURBAN.

YEAH, TURBAN-SCHMURBAN.

YOU GOT SOME MYSTIC SWAMI THING HAPPENING WITH YOU

AND THE TIGER OR WHAT?

ACTUALLY, SIR, I CHARMED HIM WITH MY FLUTE,

JUST LIKE I DO WITH SNAKES.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MEET DB GRAVES,

WORLD-RENOWNED HUNTER AND KILLER OF ALL THINGS GREAT AND SMALL.

AD VANCE: THE BIG APPLE, SLICED AND DICED

HAS AN EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT WITH MR. GRAVES

TO HUNT DOWN AND KILL THE MANHATTAN MANEATER ON CAMERA.

I'D RATHER SEE THE TIGER HUNT VINCE.

WE MISSED OUT AGAIN, DAD.

YOU WANNA JOIN THEM IN NEW YORK?

- WE CAN? - SURE. WHY NOT?

WITH JONNY AND BENTON'S TRACK RECORD,

IT'S A BUCK TO A BENT DIME THEY'LL BE NEEDING US TO PULL

THE FAT OUT OF THE FIRE WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS.

BRINGING YOU AN AD VANCE EXCLUSIVE UPDATE

ON THE MANHATTAN MANEATER.

THE BEAST ESCAPED FROM CONVICTED DRUG LORD RENO DORMAN'S

UPSTATE MANSION AND APPARENTLY TRAVELED TO THE CITY

BY FOLLOWING THE TRACKS SOUTH.

A FREAKING TIGER IN MANHATTAN. IS THAT COOL OR WHAT?

MR. GRAVE'S CONTRACT TO $100,000.

- A HUNDRED GRAND? - BUT LISTEN UP, NEW YORK.

IF DB FAILS, THAT 100,000 COULD BE YOURS.

YEAH, TELL ME ABOUT IT, VINCE.

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE MANHATTAN MANEATER,

DEAD OR ALIVE.

SO, WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR? LET'S GO HUNTING.

FORGET ABOUT IT, NEW YORK. THE REWARD IS MINE.

I WILL HUNT DOWN AND TERMINATE THAT TIGER

WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE.

NOT IF I FIND IT FIRST, MR. GRAVES.

THE MAN'S A BARBARIAN.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A MAGNIFICENT CREATURE

NOT VLAD THE IMPALER.

YOU CAN'T APPLY LOGIC HERE, DR. QUEST.

AND I'LL TELL YOU SOMETHING ELSE.

WITH A HUNDRED LONG ONES AT STAKE,

EVERY WACKO IN NEW YORK CITY WILL BE GUNNING FOR THAT CAT.

IF SOMEONE KILLS THAT TIGER, IT'LL BE OUR FAULT.

HOW DO YOU FIGURE THAT?

WE SHOULD'VE KEPT OUR MOUTHS SHUT.

- OH, WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING. - AND YOUR FATHERS?

DO YOU THINK THEY WILL SANCTION ANOTHER RISKY UNDERTAKING?

YOU KNOW WHAT? RACE AND POP ALWAYS SAY

YOU SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

- FINISH WHAT YOU START. - AND WE CERTAINLY STARTED THIS.

WHAT YOU ALL NEED, KIDS? MR. MO JO GOT IT ALL.

I GOT TIGER T-SHIRTS, TIGER TOYS, TIGER UNDERWEAR.

I EVEN GOT TIGER SCENT.

SO, WHAT DO YOU NEED?

NOTHING, BUT THANKS, ANYWAY.

YO, GOLDILOCKS. WHAT WE GOT HERE?

- WHERE'S YOUR CRIB? - CRIB?

WHAT PLANET ARE YOU FROM?

- THE MAN'S ASKING WHERE YOU'RE STAYING AT. - THE PLAZA.

YOU MEAN, WE GOT US A DONALD AND MARLA?

AIN'T THESE DUDES THE TWO TIGER BOYS?

TIGER BOYS?

FOR REAL? FOR REAL?

THEY THE KIDS THAT SAW THE MANHATTAN MANEATER, RIGHT?

WORD. YOU KIDS STRUCK LUCK.

INSTEAD OF GETTING SMOKED, YOU GONNA GET US RICH.

YOU'RE GONNA FIND US THAT TIGER.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO?

WE DON'T FILE A MISSING PERSON'S REPORT UNTIL THE PERSON'S

BEEN MISSING 12 HOURS.

THESE ARE NOT JUST PERSONS, SERGEANT.

THEY'RE KIDS.

FORGET IT, BENTON.

THESE GUYS WILL BE AS MUCH USE AS A CHICKEN-WIRE SUBMARINE.

WE'LL FIND THEM OURSELVES.

RELAX, THEY'RE PROBABLY JUST OUT ON THE TOWN.

AIN'T EXACTLY THE PLAZA, RIGHT?

I'D BE CHANGING THE CHANNEL FOR YOU,

BUT THIS STATION ABOUT THE ONLY ONE WE GET.

AIN'T THAT THE WAY YOU FOLKS LIKE IT, GOLDILOCKS?

US FOLKS?

YOU DO NOT HAVE THE INFORMATION TO MAKE A JUDGMENT LIKE THAT.

YO, YO, YO, WHAT'S YOUR DEAL, ANYWAY, MAN?

I MEAN, BEING A BROWN BROTHER.

IT IS NOT SIMPLY SKIN WHICH MAKES A BROTHER.

IT IS THE SOUL WITHIN THAT SKIN.

FOR REAL, SWAMI, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.

THIS TIGER'S WORTH A LOT OF MONEY TO US.

WHEN CAN WE EXPECT DELIVERY?

REAL SOON, JUST HAVE THE CASH READY.

THEN WHAT, KARL? YOU RETIRE?

RETIRE? MAN, I'LL BE TRIPPING IF I LIVE TO SEE 25.

ON YOUR FEET, TONTO. WE GOT TRACKING TO DO.

YOU TOO.

STANDING BY TO SCAN ALL NEW YORK PHONE SIGNALS

INCLUDING CELLULAR AND PERSONAL COMMUNICATORS.

DOWNLINK. TELESAT 17. CODE 17-44.

IF THEY CAN GET TO A PHONE FOR A COUPLE SECONDS

WE'LL HAVE AN INSTANT TRACE ON THEM.

QUESTION IS, CAN THEY GET TO A PHONE?

I HAVE READ OF A SECRET SUBTERRANEAN WORLD

EXISTING BENEATH THE SUBWAY SYSTEM.

- FOR REAL? - FOR REAL.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN CLOSED DOWN YEARS AGO.

HEY, HEY, PUSSYCAT. OVER HERE. COME ON, COME ON.

I'D GUESS YOU DID RIGHT, GOLDILOCKS.

WE LUCKED OUT.

IMAGINE TRYING TO SMOKE THAT SUCKER OUT IN THE OPEN.

YOU TELL VINCE VANCE WE GOT HIS TIGER.

HEY, DON'T BE LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT, MAN.

IT'S JUST BUSINESS, THAT'S ALL.

IF IT WAS YOU, YOU'D BE DOING THE SAME THING TO ME.

YEAH, YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE.

CAN'T WE GET A SHOT WHERE I LOOK A LITTLE MORE SINCERE?

THINK OF THE RATINGS.

HEY, LISTEN, PRIME TIME, I'M GONNA MAKE THIS CALL ONLY ONCE.

NOW, YOU WANT THE CAT, I GOT IT.

YOU COULD BE IN THE ZOO FOR ALL I KNOW, RIGHT?

LOOK, I GOT SOMEONE ELSE TO GIVE YOU THE WORD, THE QUEST PUNK.

NOW, YOU TELL THE MAN WHAT'S HAPPENING OUT HERE.

THIS IS JONNY QUEST, PLEASE, CALL MY DAD.

DON'T YOU BE TRYING THAT.

I WANT HIM TO KNOW WE'RE OKAY. HE'S MY POP.

- HE'LL BE RIPPING HIS HAIR OUT. - I WOULDN'T KNOW ABOUT THAT.

LOOK, THREE THINGS, PRIME TIME: NO COPS, THE MONEY IN CASH,

AND I WANT THE CAT'S BODY WHEN YOU DONE BLOWING IT AWAY.

- DEAL. - DEAL.

NOW, HERE'S WHERE WE MEET.

WE'RE LOCKING ON, GRAND CENTRAL STATION.

- WAIT. - SOMETHING WRONG?

- THEY'RE BENEATH THE STATION. - IN THE SUBWAY?

NO, BELOW THAT.

I SURMISE IT WOULD BE BEST TO DROP IT AND RUN.

THIS IS VINCE VANCE, LIVE FROM THE SUBTERRANEAN WORLD

OF NEW YORK WHERE WE WILL WITNESS TELEVISION HISTORY.

THE DEATH OF THE MANHATTAN MANEATER.

I DON'T HEAR NO TIGER, MAN.

THERE THEY ARE.

SO, WHAT'S THE DEAL?

- WHERE'S THE TIGER? - I GUESS IT ESCAPED.

YOU WANNA DIE, PUNK?

I SEE HIM.

WAIT, WAIT, GET SOME LIGHT UP THERE.

HE'S FRAMED. CAMERA ROLLING.

AT GREAT RISK TO MY OWN LIFE,

I AM BRINGING YOU THIS PORTRAIT

OF A MURDEROUS, BLOODTHIRSTY KILLING MACHINE.

YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

FOR A HUNDRED GRAND, WE CAN DO ANYTHING.

THE GREAT HUNTER AND MERCENARY, DB GRAVES

IS LINING UP THE KILL SHOT, WHICH WILL END

THE MANHATTAN MANEATER'S REIGN OF TERROR.

NO MORE WORDS ARE NEEDED FROM THIS REPORTER.

I'LL LET OUR CAMERA TELL THE STORY UNTIL JUSTICE IS SERVED.

JUSTICE?

THIS AIN'T NOTHING ABOUT JUSTICE.

AIN'T NOTHING RIGHT ABOUT THIS.

NO.

- STAND ASIDE. - WHAT'S THIS?

SHOW'S OVER. THE DEAL'S OFF.

- MOVE OR I'LL SHOOT. - HE MEANS IT.

SO DO I, MAN.

THIS IS OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.

YOU MORONS ARE GONNA BLOW MY RATINGS.

TURN THAT STUPID THING OFF.

TAKE IT EASY, KILLER, THE HUNT'S OVER.

THAT WAS MY KILL, GIVE ME MY RIFLE.

YOU CRETIN, YOU IDIOT, YOU MORON.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'VE JUST DONE?

SURE, KILLED A GREAT STORY.

MY MAN WAS JUST KIND OF OUT OF PLACE.

I KNOW THAT FEELING.

- DID YOU HAVE TO KILL HIM? - HE'S NOT DEAD, SON.

BUT HE'LL WAKE UP WITH ONE HECK OF A HANGOVER.

- COME ON, LET'S TAKE HIM HOME. - HOME?

YEAH, HE BELONGS IN A JUNGLE,

AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT NEW YORK.

GO AHEAD, JONNY.

THIS IS YOUR DEAL.

I GUESS AT LEAST I CAN SAY I VISITED INDIA.

IT'S A COOL PLACE, SWAMI.
