THE HOST: I've alwaysfelt confined by my body,

that my spirit is too large,too savage for this flesh.

I should look more like that.

The feeling is not uncommon.

Berserker warriors, forexample, would kill a bear

and wear its bloody skininto battle, a kind of armor

making them invincible.

Pity it didn't work for the bear.

[music playing]

LEE [VOICEOVER]: Contraryto popular belief,

no security guard isautomatically issued a gun.

You have to pass a special six month course which

hardly anyone takes because theymake you pay for the privilege.

Besides, as everybody who'sseen an action movie knows,

the security guard with thegun is always the first to go.

Finished?

Next page, psychology test.

There is a column of yes boxes, and next to it

a column of no boxes.

Mark your answer after each statement.

Number one, I enjoy life.

Number two, I would enjoy working with dogs.

The next one's a multiple choicer.

Would you more likely preferto guard a site where A, you

had a lot of personal powerbut were required to deal

with people all the time, orB, one where you sat in a room

by yourself doing a repetitive task,

seeing and dealing with no one?

Shirt and slacks, tie, onsite shoes.

Cloisonne Saracen badge.

$175, prorated out ofyour first four paychecks.

But what if I quit before then?

You pay anyway.

Sign this.

Thank you.

Bitch.

[glass breaking]

Bitch in a uniform.

Fuck, he doesn't like me.

Hey, over here.

He does that every other night.

Great.

[inaudible].

My friends call me Sonny, the Sikh.

Sonny.

The student, huh?

Yeah, how'd you know?

You have the look.

What are you studying?

Anthropology.

I'm originally from Sri Lanka.

Lots of anthropology there.

Yeah, lots of anthropology everywhere.

This is where you'll spend most of your time.

Here's a site manual.

Patrol every 45 minutes.

Check for squatters, vandals, thieves.

Fill out a daily occurrence report

which I basically just make up.

[chuckle]

That's the cop button,takes maybe five minutes.

Maybe?

Never had to hit it more than twice.

Well, so that's 10 minutes.

Sometimes 20. You'll be fine.

So how did you get into security?

Both parents worked forHarrison [inaudible] with Dad.

Handles illegalimmigrants at the airport.

Well, what about you?

Well, I'm off to the double shifts

to dispatch when I get to taglucky winners like yourself

for this kind of dog work.

Are those the facilities?

Yeah.

Great.

So are these holes just leftopen like this all the time?

Oh yeah.

I wouldn't go up there if I were you.

Since Harrison's got no medical plan,

if you break your neck on patrol,

no one's going to care but you.

Any other drawbacks?

You got to bring your own flashlight.

No way.

Way, man.

First two months onsite I asked every day.

They had to come down hereand personally tell me

there were no more flashlights.

Sounds like some bad horror movie.

Can be.

Stick in the trailer, you'll be fine.

Let's see.

1 o'clock, nothing.

2 o'clock, nothing.

3 o'clock, something.

Turned out to be nothing.

[dialing on phone]

COLIN [ON PHONE]: This is Colin.

Hi.

Hi, it's me.

Do you know what time it is?

You realize it's 1 in the morning.

I just-- I thought we could talk some more.

About what?

I don't know.

Just how we're going to try to stay together

even when your mothersays you sleep with trash,

you become trash.

Lee, can I call you back later?

I'm on the other line.

Yeah.

Sure.

Later.

[thud]

[footsteps]

Colin?

Hey, Colin.

Yeah?

You know, I think there's somereally strange homeless people

squatting on the site.

Yeah, so?

It's a job, right?

Run those guys out of there?

I don't get it.

I mean, I just don't get it.

I said I was sorry.

No, you're right.

We never set a date.

There's nothing to postpone.

There's nothing for you to apologize about.

Put it off.

Yeah.

That's what we should do.

So I forget, on which hand doyou wear a disengagement ring?

Yours, mine, mine, mine.

Yours, yours, mine.

Yours?

No, it's probably mine.

You know that money I gavefor the trip to Ireland,

I'm going to need that back.

It's only fair.

LEE [VOICEOVER]:Romantic love, real love.

The kind of love where you'reso far into the other person

they seem like part of you, likethey are you-- until it falls

apart, that is, and theother person comes to you

and tells you everything that's gone wrong,

how it can't be fixed, how it'sall your fault. And you think,

but if I'm you and you're me, honey bug,

then why the fuck didn't I already know that?

Hi, can I have acranberry juice, two of them

to go, please?

Thanks.

[moaning, panting]

Shit, what do you want?

You're trespassing.

[gasping, moaning]

So is this where you saw them?

Yes.

You should let your boss know he

wouldn't have this kind of trouble

if they let you carry guns.

[phone ringing]

SONNY [ON PHONE]: Uh, Lee, it's Sonny.

A site supervisor's on his way.

Roger.

Shit.

[banging]

Cooper!

Open up!

Cooper!

[clears throat]

Let's see it.

Let's see it.

12:00 midnight-- no, 2400.

No incident.

1:00 AM, 0100, virtually no incidents.

0200, hardly any incident in the night

in the darkness of our souls.

0300, someday my prince will come.

[sigh] Come on Cooper, let's take the tour.

You cover the whole site when you patrol?

Yes.

Even the upper floors?

Well, there's holes in the floors

up there, as you may havenoticed in my reports.

Come on, Cooper, we'reboth enough to vote, right?

I think we can find ourway around a hole or two.

You know how many sites I patrol a night?

12.

Hey, stop.

A wrench.

Good quality.

Would you look at the size of that one?

[growl]

[scream]

[panting]

[shrieking]

LEE [VOICEOVER]: That was one time the cops

actually did arrive on time.

All they found ofZolgosh was his jaw bone,

half a cheek still attached.

[beeping]

No one else.

Anthropologists tell us most native people still

believe evil spirits live out in the forest.

They believe you can set upyour own one to one relationship

with these spirits, see yourself in them,

summon them if necessary.

Lee!

It's Colin!

Lee!

LEE [VOICEOVER]: I stillspend eight hours every night

not knowing what I'm afraid of.

But then one night, acertain woozy dream logic

began to loop what facts I do know together,

stringing them like beads on athread of unprovable intuition.

What if?

What if?

Yeah.

I saw you.

You were on your bike.

I just- I just wanted to call.

I don't know, I wanted to talk.

COLIN [ON PHONE]: Yeah?

What did you want to talk about?

Well, we haven't seen each other in months.

I know it's late, but I thoughtmaybe you could come down here.

COLIN [ON PHONE]: You alone?

Real alone?

Yeah.

COLIN [ON PHONE]: I'll be there in an hour.

[beep]

Lee!

[beeping]

Lee!

Door's locked.

Open the door.

Oh, this is-- [sigh] Icome all the way down here

and you're not going to open the door?

Fuck you.

[screaming]

[shouting]

THE HOST: In our world, the weapon

has replaced the soldier.

Army A, Army B. But thedesire to maim with one's

own hands, to rip intimately into another's flesh,

is still alive-- nay, supreme.

[theme music]

Love, obsession.

Power and possession.

Hunger!
