Crimson Moon 2 Script (Part 1)
By Aragorn
CRIMSON MOON 2
Written by Jeff Long and Cody Hammen
We don't fade in right away, because in the darkness
we hear a pack of wolves howl.
After the howling stops we see a quick series of
flashes of scenes from the original CRIMSON MOON.
Werewolves growling and attacking, people firing
guns, people screaming. The flashes end, leaving
us in darkness again.
FADE IN ON:
INT. A POLICE STATION - THE INTERROGATION ROOM - DUSK.
LAURA JOHNSON, from the original CRIMSON MOON, is
sitting in a chair at a big table. SHERIFF DUSTY
HOPPER and DEPUTY AUSTIN BAKER are sitting in other
chairs across the table.
HOPPER
Now, Laura... Can you tell me what
happened yesterday?
LAURA
Excuse me, sir, but am I being charged
for anything? Should I have a lawyer?
HOPPER
No, Misses Johnson, we're not
charging you for anything. We know
you had nothing to do with what
happened. We'd just like to know
what exactly did happen. After all,
you were the only survivor. Unless
you don't feel like you're up to it
at this time.
LAURA
No, I can tell the story.
HOPPER
So, you want to continue?
LAURA
Yeah, I guess.
HOPPER
Ok, just tell us everything you can,
starting at the point when the Bunkers
took you hostage.
LAURA
Ok.
HOPPER
Wait a minute.
LAURA
Sure.
Hopper looks over at Baker.
HOPPER
The recorder on?
A tape recorder is in the middle of the table.
BAKER
Yes, sir. It's been on for almost two
minutes now.
HOPPER
Alright. You may begin, Laura.
LAURA
Ok. It all started the night before
last. My husband...David...and I were
in bed asleep when I heard these loud bangs coming from downstairs. I woke David up,
then two of the Bunkers, Tommy and
Jake, came into our bedroom. Eddie
was downstairs. Turns out the noises
I heard were gunshots, when they shot
our back door open. They came to us
because we were veterinarians, and
Eddie needed rabies shots since he
was bit by a dog or some other kind
of animal, possibly a wolf, while he
was running through the woods away
from the police at the Tanner Liquor
Store. David gave him the shots while
Tommy and Jake watched me. They
figured if they went to a hospital,
it'd be too risky.
Hopper nods.
HOPPER
Alright, I have a question to ask
now. While Tommy and Jake were
watching you, did they try to harm
you in anyway?
LAURA
No, sir. They were very nice the
whole time.
Hopper looks surprised.
HOPPER
These men killed over 60 people,
including your husband, and you
say they were nice?
LAURA
Well, they were until the incident.
I know it must sound strange...
HOPPER
Not really. This type of behavior
is normal. In many hostage situations
the hostages do become attached to
their captors... Please continue.
LAURA
Well, they made us call another
veterinarian and tell him to come
over in the morning and take care
of our animals, since we'd be gone.
HOPPER
Yeah, a veterinarian named Daniel Ulmer
called the police in Willard yesterday
morning when he arrived at your house
and found the door shot open.
LAURA
(nods)
We figured he would. We left that
morning and headed for Mexico. They
said they'd let us go once we got
across the border...We never made it.
HOPPER
You had to stop for gas.
LAURA
(nods)
So we stopped at that gas station.
HOPPER
Then what happened?
LAURA
We went inside and the place was
absolutely full of people. Bikers,
waitresses, cooks, a truck driver...
police.
HOPPER
Highway Patrol officers Vince Lee
and Nick Mars.
LAURA
The cops recognized the Bunkers and
everything fell apart.
HOPPER
What'd they do?
LAURA
The cops, the Bunkers, and the bikers
all drew weapons and started to
threaten each other. Then they all
started shooting. The cops shot Jake
and some of the bikers, then Eddie
and the cops killed each other. Tommy
was shooting bikers and everyone else
when David and I tried to run outside.
David was killed...
Laura closes her eyes, and we see another QUICK FLASHBACK
from the original Crimson Moon - David Johnson being
attacked by a werewolf and getting his head ripped off.
The flash ends and we're in darkness. In the darkness,
we hear -
HOPPER
Are you alright, Laura?
LAURA'S P.O.V - OUR EYES OPEN, AND WE'RE BACK IN THE
INTERROGATION ROOM.
LAURA
I don't know who David was killed by.
I just kept running. I reached our van
and managed to drive away. The gunfight
was still going on, and I guess some
stray bullets must have hit the gas
pumps.
FLASHBACK - Tommy Bunker shooting the last werewolf,
which is now in half-human form, as it's sitting
against a gas pump.
LAURA
As I was driving away, the whole place
exploded.
FLASHBACK - Laura driving and through the back window we see
the gas station explode.
HOPPER
To your knowledge, did anyone else
survive the blast?
LAURA
Not that I know of, no. Everyone was
in or close to the station when it
exploded. I can't imagine anyone
survived. I mean, they were all either
taking cover or participating in the
gunfight. Nobody could have gotten to a
safe distance.
HOPPER
After the explosion, what did you do?
LAURA
Came directly here, after looking
for the place for a while.
HOPPER
Well, if your story's completely
true, I guess we don't have to worry
about the Bunker Brothers anymore.
BAKER
Serves the sons of bitches right.
Only bad thing about their deaths
was it was too painless. Those guys
deserved to suffer.
HOPPER
How are things going out at the site?
BAKER
Still searching through the rubble
for bodies last I heard. Probably
gonna be out there all night. Could
take days.
Hopper nods.
BAKER
Last bodycount I heard was 10.
LAURA
There was more than 10 people
there.
HOPPER
You can turn the tape off now, Baker.
BAKER
Ok.
Baker turns the tape recorder off.
LAURA
Are you counting David as being
killed by the Bunkers?
HOPPER
Yeah.
LAURA
But I said I didn't know...
HOPPER
The Bunkers were the cause of the
gunfight, so they get the blame.
LAURA
(quietly, looks down)
Oh...
EXT. THE SMOULDERING REMAINS OF THE GAS STATION WHERE
THE LAST HALF OF CRIMSON MOON TOOK PLACE - DUSK.
Police cruisers are everywhere, along with a slew of
ambulances and fire trucks that are still fighting a
few small fires.
The full moon is rising.
We join two cops that are sifting through a pile of
rubble, throwing pieces aside as they dig. One cop is
JIMMY BONHAM, the other is BUCKY PAGE.
Jimmy shoves a large chunk of rubble aside, revealing
a charred skull beneath it.
JIMMY
We've got a head.
BUCKY
This is disgusting.
JIMMY
How many does this make?
BUCKY
Twelve, so far.
JIMMY
Think there's any more survivors
than that one woman?
BUCKY
No way.
We pan away from Jimmy and Bucky. Lying a few yards
away, under some rubble, is the burnt body of a
young woman. She was a waitress in the first Crimson
Moon, FRAN IRELAND.
FLASH CUT TO-
FLASHBACK - We see the scene from the original where
a werewolf is ripping open Fran's throat.
CUT BACK - to the destroyed gas station, where Fran's
body is beginning to...change. Growing hair, the
bone structure shifting.
FLASH CUT TO -
FLASHBACK- Tommy shoots the Fran-wolf in the back
with a shotgun, sending the wolf flying through
one of the gas station windows.
BACK TO - the station, where Fran's body is covered
with so much hair you can't see her skin through it.
INT. THE POLICE STATION - THE LOBBY - SHERIFF HOPPER AND
DEPUTY BAKER ARE WATCHING AS LAURA IS HUGGED BY HER
MOTHER, WHO IS CRYING AND ASKING HER HOW SHE IS AS
HER FATHER STANDS BY, WATCHING.
BAKER
So, what do you think?
HOPPER
Well, her story is as plausible as
anything else I've heard during this
whole Bunker Brothers fiasco. This
killing spree rivals the Knox couple's.
It's a mess.
Laura's parents lead her out the door. As she steps
out, she looks back at Hopper and Baker, giving a
quick wave.
Hopper and Baker wave back.
HOPPER
(Quietly)
Good luck, Laura.
EXT. THE DESTROYED GAS STATION - NIGHT - JIMMY IS MOVING
MORE RUBBLE ASIDE, BUCKY ABOUT 20 FEET FROM HIM WITH
HIS BACK TURNED.
The full moon is now glowing brightly.
As Jimmy goes through the rubble, we can hear the
wet sounds of Fran's body transforming nearby.
Jimmy hears the sound and looks around.
JIMMY
What the hell?
JIMMY'S P.O.V - WE DON'T SEE ANYTHING UNUSUAL AROUND.
Jimmy slowly goes back to picking through rubble,
a confused look on his face. He grabs what looks like
what was once part of a store rack, and starts to lift
it when he hears a growling sound.
Jimmy spins around, expecting something to be behind
him... But there's nothing there.
JIMMY
I'm losing it...
Suddenly, the Fran-wolf bursts out from beneath some
rubble beside Jimmy and bites down on the arm that's
holding the rack.
Jimmy screams, turning and throwing the rack on top
of the werewolf, barely getting a glimpse of it.
JIMMY
Son of a bitch!
The rack starts to move and Jimmy pulls out his gun,
firing a couple times into the rack.
The rack stops moving.
Bucky and some other cops start running toward Jimmy.
BUCKY
What's going on?
JIMMY
Something bit me! A wolf, or...
COP
Bullshit, Bonham. A wolf?
JIMMY
Look at my arm, Smith!
Jimmy uses his right hand to raise his left arm. His
sleeve is ripped open and the arm is bleeding heavily.
JIMMY
Look under that rack, I shot the
thing!
(beat)
Jesus, this hurts. It's throbbing,
pain all through my body.
BUCKY
You should have the medics check
you out.
JIMMY
Yeah...
BUCKY
Come on.
Bucky leads Jimmy away.
The other cops look at each other.
Smith steps up to the rack, grabs it cautiously. He
starts to pick it up but stops, scared that whatever’s
under it might still be alive.
SMITH
Pull your gun out, Hodges.
One of the cops, Hodges, looks at Smith like he's crazy.
HODGES
Why?
SMITH
Just incase.
HODGES
Incase of...
SMITH
I don't want to get bitten too!
HODGES
Oh, he was jerking our chains. He
cut himself on something and now
he's just messing around. You know
how he is...
SMITH
Just pull your gun.
HODGES
(sighs)
Fine.
Hodges pulls his gun out.
HODGES
Happy?
Smith looks back at the rack, and starts slowly lifting
it again. After it's up a few inches, Smith looks under
the rack. He gets a strange look on his face, then tosses
the rack aside.
Lying there is Fran's body, bullet wounds in her chest
and head.
SMITH
Well, we've found another one.
Hodges puts his gun back in its holster.
HODGES
Bonham is a weird guy.
EXT. AN AMBULANCE - NIGHT - BUCKY IS STANDING NEAR THE
AMBULANCE, WATCHING AS A PARAMEDIC LOOKS AT JIMMY'S
ARM.
A small chunk has been taken out of Jimmy's arm, and
the paramedic is wrapping it in a bandage.
As we look at this, we -
FADE TO BLACK.
The main credits play, in the same way as the main
credits of PULP FICTION played. As they do, "Werewolves
Of London" by Warren Zevon plays.
Once the credits end, we:
FADE BACK IN ON:
EXT. STREET – DAY - A CAR IS DRIVING DOWN A SMALL TOWN
STREET, CARS HERE AND THERE.
INT. CAR – DAY - JIMMY IS DRIVING THE CAR, A BANDAGE OVER
HIS ARM. THE SONG IS PLAYING ON HIS RADIO AND HE HUMS
ALONG TO IT UNTIL THE CAR REACHES A BIG BUILDING TITLED
‘POLICE STATION’. HE STOPS THE CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE
ROAD AND TURNS OFF THE RADIO AND GETS OUT OF HIS CAR,
STILL HUMMING THE TUNE AS HE WALKS UP THE STEPS.
INT. THE POLICE STATION – DAY - JIMMY WALKS INTO THE STATION
AND AS HE DOES, HOPPER MEETS UP WITH HIM AND POINTS
TO THE ARM.
HOPPER
How’s your arm doing?
They start walking as they talk. As they walk, we see
the different sections of the police station in the B.G.
JIMMY
Hurts like a son of a bitch.
HOPPER
It's been almost a week.
JIMMY
I know, but the throbbing won't
stop. It's driving me crazy. I had
it checked yesterday and the doctor
said it looks alright. Shouldn't be
bothering me. But damn...
HOPPER
(interrupts)
You could have taken sick leave.
JIMMY
Need money, or I would. You know,
they had to give me two needles.
One for rabies, and one for tetnus
incase I cut myself on a piece of
metal, which I didn’t.
HOPPER
Get over it, Bonham. You’re going
out today.
JIMMY
What do you mean?
HOPPER
Drug bust down on 7th Street.
Jimmy looks scared.
HOPPER
Don’t worry. I’ll also be sending
in the usual team as well. You know,
we’ve been on this case for almost
3 months now. It’ll be a big vacation
for all of us when we bust this.
In the B.G., people are being brought in, handcuffed:
Prostitutes, spiky haired teens with chains around
their necks, big strong muscular men.
JIMMY
(smiling)
I know.
Suddenly, Bucky, Hodges, and another cop, Bill Brians,
run up to Hopper.
BRIANS
(rushed)
Something big is happening on 7th
street!
HOPPER
Where?
BRIANS
At the house where we were supposed
to make the bust!
JIMMY
What's going on?
HODGES
Wolves!
BRIANS
The house is being overrun by wolves!
Hodges and Brians laugh, Hopper and Bucky smile, and
Jimmy looks mad.
JIMMY
Eat it, guys.
HOPPER
Alright, enough joking, it's time
to get moving.
EXT. THE STREETS OF THE CITY – DAY - WE WATCH A MONTAGE
OF SHOTS THAT SHOW TWO UNMARKED CARS PULLING AWAY FROM
THE POLICE STATION AND DRIVING THROUGH THE TOWN.
HOPPER
(V.O.)
This should be easy. These guys do
a lot of dealing, but that's it. No
record of violent crimes, a couple
have possession charges, the others
have been pretty clean until recently.
JIMMY
(V.O.)
How's it going down? Where are we
gonna be?
The montage of shots ends with the cars parking at
different spots along a couple blocks in the residential
part of town.
INT. AN ALLEY – DAY - HOPPER, JIMMY, BUCKY, HODGES, SMITH AND
BRIANS ARE IN THE ALLEY, IN REGULAR CLOTHES, BUT
CARRYING WALKIE TALKIES.
HOPPER
Brians, Bucky, you're going in the
back door. Hodges is backing me up.
Smith, Jimmy, I want you at the side
door, incase any of them try to run.
SMITH
Place has enough doors.
HOPPER
Let's get into position. I'm rolling.
Hopper makes sure his shirt is covering his gun, then
motions for Hodges to follow.
Hodges follows a few seconds later and they walk along
the sidewalk toward a two-story yellow house on the
end of the block across the street, but seeming like
they're not together.
Jimmy, Smith, Bucky and Brians run down the alley, and
we follow them COPS-style as they cut through the side
yard of a house a couple doors down from where they
started. They run across the street. At the end of the
block is a railroad crossing, and a train is going by
right now.
Jimmy, Smith, Bucky, and Brians continue through another
house's side yard before circling behind it and heading
for the yellow house.
Hopper is walking up to the house's front porch as Hodges
positions himself at the corner of the porch.
Brians and Bucky run up to the house's back door.
Bucky positions himself at the first side of the door
they reach, Brians ducks down so he can't be seen
through the window in the door, and positions himself
at the other side.
The side door that Smith and Jimmy have been positioned
at is a large, sliding glass door that leads out to
a small cement patio with a grill and a picnic table
on it.
Smith and Jimmy are hiding behind the next-door house's
row of hedges, looking at the door, a few yards down
from it. Then they look at each other.
SMITH
Ready, wolfy?
Jimmy opens his mouth to say something, but Smith runs
out of the hedges before he can.
JIMMY
Bastard.
Jimmy elbow-crawls between the house and the hedges
as Smith positions himself on this side of the glass
door.
At the front porch, Hopper has reached the front door.
As he reaches for the doorbell, we go over a couple
feet to look through a window.
Through the window, through a slightly transparent
white curtain, we can make out a messy living room.
In the room, sitting on a couch, is a young man
about 23 years old. We'll call him SNORT, since he's
in the middle of snorting cocaine off a mirror laying
on a coffee table.
Loud voices, one male and the other female, are coming
from another room.
Hopper rings the doorbell.
Jimmy bursts through the shrubs and runs to the side
door, taking position on the opposite side from Smith.
SMITH
(whisper)
Glad you could join me.
JIMMY
Shh.
Jimmy is nervous, shaking. Smith is all smiles.
SMITH
(whisper)
Nervous?
INT. THE HOUSE - THE LIVINGROOM- SNORT IS STARING AT THE
FRONT DOOR, IN A DAZE.
From off-screen, in the house, we can hear-
GIRLFRIEND
I can't believe you're doing this!
BOYFRIEND
How do you think I make money? Money
which I spend on you all the time!
The doorbell rings again and Snort looks toward the
doorway into the next room.
SNORT
Uh... door!
GIRLFRIEND
I never imagined something like this.
We join the Boyfriend and Girlfriend, both in their
early 20's, as they stand in a hall arguing.
GIRLFRIEND
I mean, cocaine? Are you crazy?
BOYFRIEND
Just calm down, please. We can talk
this over, we don't need to fight.
GIRLFRIEND
You're right, we don't need to fight.
Because it's over.
Girlfriend walks away.
BOYFRIEND
What? Wait!
Boyfriend follows her, and they go past an open door
as they exit the hall.
Through the open door we can see 2 guys sitting at a
table, one doing cocaine while the other is counting
some money. There are boxes of cocaine and money all
around the room. While Snort and Boyfriend look like
your average early-20's guys, COKEHEAD and MONEY are
very rough-looking.
SNORT
(O.S.)
Somebody's at the door!
In the livingroom, Snort is putting his coke mirror
under the couch, and Hopper has moved on to knocking
on the door and saying-
HOPPER
Hello? Anybody home?
EXT. THE HOUSE - HOPPER STOPS KNOCKING AND TURNS AWAY
FROM THE DOOR, RAISING HIS WALKIE TALKIE AND-
HOPPER
I'm not getting an answer. Bucky,
Brians, get ready to enter.
Hopper turns back to the door, and it opens.
Snort stands in the doorway, jittery, wiping his nose.
SNORT
He...hey. Can I help you?
INT. THE HOUSE - A BACK ROOM - BOYFRIEND AND GIRLFRIEND
ARE STILL FIGHTING, HEADED FOR THE BACK DOOR.
BOYFRIEND
You're over-reacting.
GIRLFRIEND
I won't be involved with this!
BOYFRIEND
You don't have to be!
Girlfriend reaches the back door and opens it. As
the door opens Brians and Bucky step into the door-
way, guns drawn.
BRIANS
Police!
BUCKY
Against the wall with your hands
behind your back!
BOYFRIEND
Fuck!
Boyfriend shoves Girlfriend against Brians and Bucky,
turns and runs back into the house.
INT. THE LIVINGROOM - SNORT IS LOOKING TOWARD THE NOISE.
BOYFRIEND
(O.S.)
Cops! Cops, cops!
Snort turns to Hopper and Hopper grabs him by the arms,
spins him around and shoves him down onto the couch.
SNORT
Get the fuck off me!
INT. THE HALLWAY - WE LOOK INTO THE ROOM COKEHEAD AND
MONEY WERE IN.
Cokehead is gathering up his cocaine and Money is
standing, starting to shut the door.
Before the door shuts, Boyfriend reaches it and Money
lets him in.
INT. THE BACK ROOM - BRIANS IS HANDCUFFING GIRLFRIEND
WHILE BUCKY RUNS INTO THE HOUSE.
GIRLFRIEND
I didn't do anything!
BRIANS
We'll sort it out.
GIRLFRIEND
I didn't do anything! Just let me
go! Let go!!
INT. THE COKE ROOM - COKEHEAD IS OPENING THE CLOSET
WHILE BOYFRIEND FREAKS OUT TO MONEY.
BOYFRIEND
There are cops in the house, man!
We're fucked!
MONEY
Shut up! We can handle this!
BOYFRIEND
What do you mean? How can we handle
this? We're going to prison!
COKEHEAD
We're not going to prison.
Cokehead pulls a combat shotgun from the closet and
tosses it to Money.
BOYFRIEND
What the fuck is that?
MONEY
Insurance against cops.
Cokehead pulls another shotgun from the closet, then
hands a .45 to Boyfriend.
BOYFRIEND
This is insane.
MONEY
(laughs)
Just wait 'till the first cop reaches
that door.
Cokehead and Money pump their shotguns.
