Crimson Moon 2 Script (Part 3) By Aragorn
EXT. THE CAR – NIGHT - WE WATCH IT DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL IT DISAPPEARS IN THE DARKNESS, THEN WE CUT TO-
CLOSE-UP OF A CALENDAR.
We pull back from the calendar and see that we're-
INT. JIMMY'S KITCHEN - JIMMY IS LOOKING AT THE CALENDAR, RUBBING HIS THICK (TOO THICK) DAY'S GROWTH OF BEARD.
He taps the 30th day of the month, and we look at a close up of that day. In the top left corner of the day's square is a full moon with a smiley face.
JIMMY Well... Today's the day.
MONICA (O.S.) What?
Jimmy turns around and we see Monica walk into the kitchen, dressed for work, putting in one of her earrings.
JIMMY Nothing, just talking to myself.
MONICA Yep. Just another step on the path to insanity.
JIMMY I know. A couple more days and I'll be chasing pink elephants.
MONICA You mean pink werewolves?
JIMMY Come on, don't make fun of me.
MONICA Sorry.
They kiss, and when they pull apart-
MONICA Well, I'm off to work.
They say their "See ya in the morning."'s and their "I love you."'s, then Monica walks out of the room.
Jimmy turns his attention back to the calendar for a while. We hear the front door open and Jimmy looks in its direction.
JIMMY Monica?
MONICA (O.S.) Yeah?
JIMMY Wait a minute!
INT. THE LIVINGROOM - MONICA IS WAITING AT THE OPEN FRONT DOOR.
Jimmy hurries up to her.
JIMMY I just wanted to do this again...
Jimmy kisses her, and this kiss lasts a lot longer than the first one. When they pull apart-
JIMMY And say that I love you again. So, I love you.
Monica has a strange expression on her face.
MONICA I love you, too...
They stand in silence for a couple seconds, then-
JIMMY You can go now.
MONICA Right. See ya in the morning.
JIMMY See ya.
Monica steps outside, and Jimmy steps up to shut the door for her, watching her walk to her car.
JIMMY'S P.O.V - MONICA REACHES HER CAR, OPENS THE DRIVER'S DOOR, AND GETS IN.
He shuts the door.
INT. JIMMY'S CAR – NIGHT - JIMMY, FACE FRESHLY SHAVED, IS DRIVING, STARING STRAIGHT AHEAD.
JIMMY'S P.O.V - LOOMING OVER THE STREET IN FRONT OF US IS THE FULL MOON.
EXT. THE POLICE STATION - JIMMY'S CAR PULLS INTO THE PARKING LOT.
INT. THE STATION - WE LOOK THE MAIN ROOM OVER:
One section of the room is full of desks, and there are some cops sitting at their desks, doing paperwork. The cops doing this are Hodges, Smith, and a female officer named JULIE GREY.
The front door opens and Brians and his partner, DWIGHT DAVIS, enter, bringing in a young man who seems to be fairly stoned. He's calm and expressionless. His name's JEREMY MANN.
We follow behind Brians and Davis as they lead Jeremy through the main room to a door. Davis opens the door, and they step into-
INT. THE CELL ROOM - BRIANS AND DAVIS LEAD JEREMY DOWN THE SMALL HALL THAT RUNS IN FRONT OF THE 4 CELLS.
We go down the hall as well, but as we go we turn to look the cells over.
There are six people in these cells, and they are- In cell 1: DANTE WALTERS, a muscular bald guy. He's sharing a cell with GABE TURNER, a dirty little drunk old man. In cell 2: There's a college age guy named NOAH WOODS. He's sharing his cell with his friend who is also a college guy, ANDREW BURLESON. In cell 3: There are 2 prostitutes, CANDY and SIERRA.
Brians and Davis put Jeremy in cell 4 by himself.
DAVIS What's your name, kid?
JEREMY Jeremy Mann.
DAVIS What's your last name?
JEREMY Mann, man.
INT. A LOUNGE ROOM - HOPPER AND BAKER ARE GETTING SOME COFFEE AND TALKING.
BAKER (mid-sentence) ...dog had pissed all over my side of the bed. Only my side. So I tell Molly and she...
Hopper is laughing at him.
INT. THE GARAGE - JIMMY AND MILLER ARE APPROACHING ONE OF THE THREE PATROL CARS PARKED IN THE GARAGE.
Jimmy's beard is already starting to grow back in.
MILLER (mid-sentence) ...daughters were little hellions today.
Sweat is breaking out on Jimmy's forehead, and he wipes it away with his sleeve.
Miller looks over at him and sees that he's not looking too good.
MILLER Are you alright?
JIMMY Yeah, I'm just feeling kinda... sick. It just hit me.
They stop beside the patrol car.
MILLER What do you want to do then?
Jimmy sighs, thinking.
JIMMY I don't think we should go on patrol yet. I need to... Yeah.
Jimmy walks away.
Miller watches him go.
MILLER Ok...
INT. A RESTROOM - JIMMY ENTERS, HOLDING THE ARM THAT WAS BITTEN.
Jimmy goes to the sink and looks into the mirror over it, examining himself.
JIMMY Damn.
He doesn't look well at all. Beard back to the way it was when he was checking the calendar. Sweating.
He turns his attention to his arm, rolling up his sleeve.
His arm is very hairy, and the bite scar is red.
JIMMY Oh, shit.
Jimmy looks back up into the mirror, and we see that his eyes have now changed. They don't look human anymore.
JIMMY God, no. This can't be really happening...
Jimmy turns and runs out of the restroom.
INT. THE HALL - JIMMY COMES OUT OF THE RESTROOM AND RUNS RIGHT INTO MILLER.
MILLER Whoa, Jimmy, take it...
Before Miller can finish, Jimmy turns and runs down the hall.
Miller hurries after him.
MILLER Jimmy, what's wrong?!
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - JIMMY RUNS THROUGH THE MAIN ROOM, AND HODGES, SMITH, JULIE, AND DAVIS, WHO IS NOW AT HIS DESK, LOOK UP AT HIM.
Hopper and Baker are now in this room, too, and they watch as Jimmy runs into the cell room.
HOPPER Jimmy?
Hopper and Baker head for the cell room door, as Miller enters the main room.
MILLER Where'd Jimmy go?
HOPPER In the cell room. What's going on with him?
MILLER I don't know.
Hopper, Baker, and Miller go into the cell room.
Hodges and Smith look at each other.
HODGES As I've said before, Bonham is a weird guy.
INT. THE CELL ROOM - JIMMY IS SHOVING JEREMY INTO THE CELL WITH SIERRA AND CANDY AS HOPPER, BAKER, AND MILLER ENTER.
JEREMY Take it easy, man!
Jeremy stumbles into the cell, and Sierra and Candy are all over him immediately.
SIERRA Hey.
JEREMY Hey.
CANDY Your name's Jeremy, right?
Hopper, Baker, and Miller walk down the hall toward Jimmy.
JIMMY Just stay away from me!
HOPPER Jimmy, what are you doing?
Jimmy steps into the cell Jeremy was in, and shuts himself in.
JIMMY Stay away!
BAKER What's wrong with you?
JIMMY I don't know what it is, it... It hurts... It burns, all through my body...
Jimmy leans against the wall.
JIMMY You shouldn't be around me. Something bad is going to happen.
MILLER Jimmy, I think you should go to the hospital.
JIMMY No! It's not safe! I can't go to the hospital!
HOPPER Not safe?
JIMMY I can't be around anybody! I need... I need to stay in this cell...
Hopper turns to Baker and whispers into his ear-
HOPPER Call an ambulance.
Baker nods and hurries out of the room.
MILLER You're gonna be ok, Jimmy.
JIMMY I... I hope...
Jimmy drops to his knees.
Hopper pulls the cell keys off his belt and sticks them into the lock.
JIMMY No! Stay out!
HOPPER Jimmy, we have to come in...
JIMMY If you come in, I'll...
Jimmy pulls his gun out of its holster.
JIMMY If anyone comes in, I'll shoot them.
JEREMY Man, this guy is fucked up.
MILLER Shut up.
Jimmy lays his gun on the floor in front of him.
HOPPER You don't mean that, Jimmy.
JIMMY Yes I do. Just stay out.
Jimmy leans his head back against the wall, breathing heavily.
His mouth hangs open, and we see that his teeth have turned into long, sharp, wolfen fangs.
A montage begins-
An ambulance speeding down a town street at night, siren and lights going.
Jimmy crawling to the back corner of the cell, weakly pulling his gun along with him.
Baker stepping outside the station to wait for the ambulance.
Jimmy huddled in the back corner, facing the wall, shaking all over. He pulls the cover off the cot beside him and drapes it over himself.
The ambulance pulling up in front of the police station.
Jimmy's face completely covered with fur.
Paramedics hurrying out of the ambulance and going up to Baker, who directs them into the building.
Jimmy's fingers elongating, claws growing.
The paramedics entering the police station, headed for the cell room door.
Jimmy's face elongating into a snout.
Baker outside, lighting a cigarette, looking nervous.
The paramedics entering the cell room, Julie getting up from her desk to follow them in.
The montage ends on-
INT. THE CELL ROOM - THE PARAMEDICS, WHO ARE NAMED DAN AND BOBBY, ENTER, FOLLOWED BY JULIE.
They join Hopper and Miller at the cell door and look in.
JULIE God...
Hopper gets the cell door unlocked and opens it wide.
Bobby and Dan step into the cell, and just as they do Jimmy's clothes split open, falling to the floor along with the cover, revealing the body of a werewolf underneath.
Everyone screams or yells something.
DAN Holy shit!
The werewolf then falls over, completely still.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - HODGES AND DAVIS LOOK UP FROM THEIR DESKS.
HODGES That didn't sound right.
Hodges and Davis stand up and head for the cell room door.
INT. THE CELL ROOM - SCENE'S THE SAME.
HOPPER This can't be happening...
SMITH What happened to him?!
The cell room door opens and Hodges and Davis enter.
Shock washes over their faces.
DAVIS What the fuck is going on?
Bobby and Dan turn to leave the cell, but Miller blocks the path.
MILLER Do something!
DAN I don't know how to handle this!
BOBBY Maybe we should...
Bobby turns back to the werewolf.
BOBBY I don't fucking know.
Bobby approaches the werewolf.
DAN Be careful, Bobby.
SMITH What happened to him?
HOPPER It looks like...
JEREMY It looks like a fucking werewolf!
SMITH That's impossible.
HOPPER Have any better explanations?
In the cell, Bobby is preparing a shot while Dan stands back, watching.
MILLER What is that?
BOBBY I'm gonna give it a sedative to make sure it sleeps a while, then I'm getting the fuck out of this cell.
The syringe is ready, full of sedative. Bobby gets ready to jab it into one of the werewolf's arms.
When the needle is three inches from the werewolf's skin, it bursts awake and leaps forward.
It slams into Bobby's chest, brutally ripping his throat open.
Blood gushes all over Dan.
DAN Shit!
The cops in the room all draw their guns, and Dan turns to run out of the cell.
The wolf turns away from Bobby's blood gushing body and jumps onto Dan, snapping it's jaws shut on his arm with a sick crunch.
DANTE Shoot it!
The cops begin to fire, just as the werewolf swings Dan's body in front of itself.
Bullets rip across Dan's back.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - AS SHOTS CONTINUE TO RING OUT, BAKER RUSHES IN FROM OUTSIDE, HOLDING A CIGARETTE.
Brians comes rushing out of a hallway, buckling his belt. He must have been in the restroom.
They look at each other for a split second, then run for the cell room door.
INT. THE CELL ROOM - BAKER AND BRIANS BURST IN.
Miller, Hopper, Davis, Hodges, Smith, and Julie are all still shooting at the werewolf, and it's still viciously shaking Dan's body back and forth like a rag doll.
The body slams back and forth against the bars and the wall, bones breaking.
The shooters begin to reload and Baker and Brians pull their guns.
BRIANS What the fu...
HOPPER (interrupts) Just shoot it for Christ's sake!
The werewolf drops Dan's body and lurches back down to the floor, ready to leap forward and strike.
Julie realizes what it's going to do.
JULIE Watch out!
The werewolf leaps forward.
Hopper raises his gun and fires rapidly four times into the werewolf's chest.
The werewolf slams into him, biting into his left shoulder.
The werewolf and Hopper slam back into the concrete wall, cracking it.
BAKER Dusty!
The werewolf rips Hopper's shoulder open, but it doesn't bother him, since he died when he hit the wall.
DAVIS Fuckin' thing!
Davis aims his gun at the werewolf's head but before he can shoot, the werewolf rears back and launches itself up toward the ceiling.
It hits the ceiling and bursts through it, sending tiles showering down on the police.
JULIE Holy shit!
HODGES Get back!
Everyone backs away from the hole in the ceiling.
MILLER We have a major problem here...
JEREMY Can I go now?!
BRIANS Be quiet.
Baker drops to a knee beside Hopper's body.
BAKER Dusty!
Hopper's face is covered with blood.
BAKER Dusty, come on...
SMITH He's dead.
JULIE Should we...?
Julie stops, unsure.
MILLER Should we what?
JULIE I don't know... It seemed to be a, a werewolf... What do we do with Hopper and the medics?
Baker looks up at her.
BAKER What the hell do you mean?
JULIE Well, what if they turn... Too?
BAKER That's bullshit.
ANDREW She's got a point.
BAKER Nobody asked you, kid.
NOAH It's obviously a werewolf...
BAKER All people that aren't cops keep their mouths shut!
DANTE Baker, don't be a prick.
Baker stands and turns to Dante.
BAKER I said shut up!
DANTE Oh, fuck you.
BAKER Fuck me?!
Baker takes a step toward Dante's cell but Davis and Smith grab him and pull him back.
SMITH Settle down.
BAKER Let go!
Baker tries to pull free.
DAVIS Chill out!
DANTE Yeah, cool down ya dumb fuck.
SMITH Dante...
BAKER Dumb fuck?!
Baker manages to pull free and quickly takes the Steps toward Dante and Gabe's cell.
Dante greets him with a fist to the face.
Baker falls to the floor, unconscious.
ANDREW You kicked a cop’s ass!
NOAH Way to go, Dante!
SMITH You shouldn't have done that.
DANTE What? He deserved it.
JULIE We should put Hopper's body in the cell, if they're gonna change...
MILLER Yeah.
JEREMY Lock them up before they change!
SIERRA I know what will happen. One of these guys will turn into one of those things, or the other one will come back in, and all of you will run out and leave us in here with it.
MILLER That's not what would happen.
Candy is sitting down, crying, and Jeremy is trying to comfort her.
SIERRA Bullshit! I know it is.
MILLER We wouldn't leave you in here.
SIERRA Yes you would! Admit it!
Davis and Smith are carrying Hopper's body into the cell with the dead paramedics.
Baker groans, coming back to consciousness.
DANTE Somebody knock him back out.
Baker sits up, rubbing his face. His nose is bleeding.
BAKER What happened?
Hodges helps Baker to his feet.
DANTE You slipped.
Davis and Smith lay Hopper's body on the cot in the back of the cell.
Two werewolves stand up behind Davis and Smith as they do this, ripped paramedic uniforms dangling from their bodies.
Screams ring out, people yelling "Look out!", and the cops turn to face the werewolves.
DAVIS Oh, shit!
One werewolf rushes Davis, the other rushes Smith. Both men scream.
The werewolf that rushed Smith grabs him by the chest and tosses him back against the bars.
He fumbles for his gun as the werewolf growls at him.
The werewolf that rushed Davis wraps it's arm around his chest and bites him on the face, pulling him off his feet and into the air.
Just before Smith's werewolf lunges at him, Davis's legs are swung across it's face.
The werewolf grabs Davis's legs, biting into a hip.
SMITH Fuck this!
Smith and the other cops run out of the cell room.
SIERRA Wait!
NOAH Don't leave us!
GABE You motherfuckers!
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - SMITH SLAMS THE CELL ROOM DOOR SHUT AND LEANS BACK ON IT.
INT. THE CELL ROOM - THE WEREWOLVES ARE PLAYING TUG OF WAR WITH DAVIS'S LIMP BODY.
After a few vicious jerks the body is torn in half at the waist.
Blood and guts pour out onto the floor. People scream.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - SMITH IS STILL LEANING ON THE CELL ROOM DOOR.
SMITH Somebody bring a desk over here so we can barricade this motherfucker!
MILLER There are people in there, Smith!
SMITH Fuck 'em!
Suddenly the door erupts forward, sending Smith to the floor.
The top of the door hits Miller in the face, sending him falling over a desk, unconscious.
A werewolf stands on the fallen door as Smith scrambles to his feet, pulling his gun.
He raises the gun to shoot the werewolf, but it bites down on his arm.
Smith screams.
The other werewolf jumps into the room, landing in front of Hodges.
Hodges raises his gun and the werewolf punches him.
Hodges flies backwards, going through the window that looks into the interrogation room.
INT. THE INTERROGATION ROOM - HODGES LANDS ON HIS BACK ON THE TABLE, THEN ROLLS OFF.
He hits the floor, unconscious.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - ONE OF THE WEREWOLVES SLAMS SMITH AGAINST THE WALL AS SMITH SCREAMS.
The werewolf turns around quickly, Smith's arm still in it's mouth. It lets go of his arm and Smith is sent flying across the room.
He slams hard into the doors, then falls to the floor, bleeding all over.
The other werewolf is chasing Julie amongst the desks.
She swings into the knee hole of one of the desks, and the werewolf starts swiping it's claws at her.
Brians steps up behind it and shoots it in the back.
The werewolf turns on him, growling.
BRIANS Oops.
The werewolf leaps forward.
INT. THE CELL ROOM - BRIANS COMES FLYING IN, THE WEREWOLF ON TOP OF HIM.
They land on the floor in front of Dante and Gabe's cell, sliding right up against it.
Brians puts his gun to the werewolf's head.
BRIANS Fuck you.
Brians shoots.
The werewolf's brains explode out of it's head and it falls to the side.
Brians stands, covered in werewolf brains.
BRIANS Son of a bitch...
Brians kicks the werewolf's body, then runs out of the room, yelling-
BRIANS It takes a shot in the head! A shot in the head kills them!
GABE This is cruel and unusual punishment!
DANTE Quiet, Gabe.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - MILLER STANDS UP, USING THE DESK HE FELL BESIDE TO HELP HIM UP.
Julie is standing on a nearby desk, a werewolf snapping at her legs.
Miller jumps onto the werewolf's back.
The werewolf whirls around, backhanding Julie in the side.
JULIE Shit!
She is sent flying off the desk and into the cell room.
INT. THE CELL ROOM - JULIE HITS NOAH AND ANDREW'S CELL SIDEWAYS, HARD.
She falls to the floor, unconscious.
NOAH It's about time.
Noah kneels down and takes the cell keys off of Julie's belt.
NOAH Thank you, Officer Julie.
Noah stands up and begins to unlock his cell door.
Sierra is watching eagerly.
SIERRA We're next.
GABE Why the hell should we be last? We're first in line!
Noah unlocks his cell door, then tosses the keys to Sierra.
GABE Bastard.
Sierra hurriedly unlocks her cell door, steps out, and tosses the keys to Dante.
SIERRA Keys to freedom.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - MILLER IS STILL CLINGING TO THE WEREWOLF'S BACK AS IT TRIES TO SHAKE HIM OFF.
Brians is standing to the side, trying to get a clear shot at the werewolf's head.
It finally reaches back, grabs Miller by the back of his shirt, then pulls him up over it's head and slams him down on a desk.
Brians tackles the werewolf from the side, dropping his gun in the process.
Brians and the werewolf slam into a desk, which slides back into another desk.
The desks lodge together, throwing Brians and the werewolf over the top and to the floor.
Brians is on the bottom, the werewolf on top of him, and they're in a small space between the desk and the wall.
Brians lifts the werewolf up off of him, trying to keep its snapping mouth away.
BRIANS Shit!
The werewolf drops down closer, drool dripping into Brians face.
Then, with a loud bang, the werewolf's head explodes open.
Its limp body falls onto Brians with a thud, blood squirting all over his face.
BRIANS Fuck...
Brians groans, shoving the body off of him and standing up.
Miller is standing a few feet away, gun aimed at where the wolf's head was when he shot it.
He lowers the gun.
BRIANS Thanks, rookie.
MILLER Don't mention it.
Smith is sitting against the doors in a pool of blood, holding his bitten arm.
Baker is cowering under a desk the farthest back in the room.
Miller sits down on a desk, sighing.
Brians turns to the cell room as Dante, Gabe, Noah, Andrew, Jeremy, Sierra, and Candy walk out.
BRIANS Hey, who said you all could get out of your cells?
SIERRA We did.
BRIANS Things are under control here, get back in your cells.
JEREMY They don't look very controlled, man.
INT. THE CELL ROOM - JULIE SITS UP, GROANING.
JULIE Damn...
When she's sitting up, she sees-
JULIE'S P.O.V - IN THE LAST CELL, HOPPER'S BODY IS GONE OFF THE COT, BUT HIS RIPPED UNIFORM IS STILL THERE.
JULIE Oh, no. (turns away to yell) Guys, Hopper’s body’s gone!
Everyone comes rushing over and looks in the cell, seeing only the shredded clothing.
BRIANS Where could he have gone to without us knowing?
All of a sudden, the ceiling above them creaks and then stops.
MILLER (whispering) He’s in the ceiling, too.
DANTE (whispering) He must of left the cell when we weren’t looking and...
The only hole in the ceiling is the one the Jimmy- wolf made.
MILLER (whisper) Went up the same way.
Smith loudly moans from his spot in front of the door, sitting in a pool of blood. Everyone turns and looks at him.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - BAKER IS CRAWLING OUT FROM UNDER THE DESK.
Julie enters and runs over to Smith.
JULIE Jesus Christ, he needs medical attention.
She bends down and takes out a rag from her pocket, holding it firmly over his wound as he winces in pain.
JULIE Hold that in that spot as tight as you can.
Julie puts Smith’s hand on the rag and stands up.
As she does, she looks over and sees Hodges unconscious in the interrogation room.
INT. THE INTERROGATION ROOM - WE'RE IN A CLOSE UP OF HODGES' BLOODY, CUT-UP FACE.
His eyes flutter open and he looks around.
HODGES (groggily) Julie?
We pull back to show Julie kneeling beside him.
JULIE Are you ok?
HODGES I'm just dandy.
Hodges groans as Julie helps him to his feet.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - JULIE AND HODGES ENTER, HODGES LIMPING A BIT.
Brians looks over at them.
BRIANS You alright, Hodges?
HODGES Well, I did have a huge chunk of glass in my left ass cheek, but that's been taken care of.
BRIANS Good.
INT. THE CELL ROOM - JULIE COMES BACK IN, AND HODGES STANDS IN THE DOORWAY.
JULIE Is it still above us?
HODGES Jimmy?
JULIE And Hopper.
Miller takes out his gun and fires a couple shots into the ceiling. Nothing.
MILLER They both must have moved on.
NOAH That’s it, I’m out of here.
The other prisoners quickly agree.
MILLER You can’t. If we leave, these things are free to roam and kill other people. We have to kill them here and now before they leave this station.
GABE That’s your problem, not ours!
Gabe, Dante, Sierra, Candy, Noah, and Andrew turn and storm out of the room.
INT. THE MAIN ROOM - THE GROUP ENTERS AND LOOK AT SMITH BLOCKING THE DOOR.
ANDREW I suggest we go out the back.
DANTE Yeah...
They head for a hallway.
INT. THE CELL ROOM - THE COPS ARE WATCHING THEM GO.
HODGES Someone should go get them before they get killed.
BRIANS Yeah. Miller...
Brians throws Miller an extra gun.
BRIANS Go bring them back.
Miller nods as he puts the second gun in his holster and runs off after the convicts.
INT. HALLWAY - THE CONVICTS ARE RUNNING DOWN A HALL, WHEN SUDDENLY THE LIGHTS GO OUT. THE GIRLS SCREAM AS THEY COME TO A STOP.
NOAH Shit. Come on, we better keep moving.
They continue to run, and they turn a corner. At the end of the hall are the double doors leading outside.
Suddenly, a roof tile breaks in half as a large furry object falls down, just a few yards in front of them.
They see it’s one of the werewolves and they all stop in their tracks and scream as it snarls at them.
DANTE Yeah, Fuck you too!
He pulls his arm back and throws a punch as hard as he could into the werewolf’s face, causing it to turn to the side, then when it looks back at Dante, it snarls.
Before anyone can figure out what happened, the werewolf jumps and lands on Dante, sending him to the floor.
It starts chewing his arm.
DANTE Help me, you fuckers!
The others turn and are about to run past the werewolf, but it’s head whips up and snarls at them. They turn back the other way and run.
The werewolf goes back to its victim.
INT. HALL - MILLER IS WALKING FAST DOWN A HALL, WHEN SUDDENLY, GABE, JEREMY, NOAH, ANDREW, CANDY, AND SIERRA RUN AROUND FROM A CORNER.
CANDY Run, it’s right behind us!
Miller whips out his two guns.
MILLER Quick, back to the main room. The others are there.
Miller stays in his spot, pointing his guns out in case anything comes around the corner. He waits for the others to get behind him.
When they're all out of his way, he starts slowly walking down the hall.
INT. MAIN HALL - MILLER WALKS AROUND THE CORNER, AND HE SEES THE DOORS AT THE END, DANTE’S MANGLED BODY, AND A LOT OF BLOOD. BUT NO WEREWOLF.
MILLER (into walkie-talkie attached to his uniform) We have a man down. Can you send someone down to help me move him? He might still be alive, but injured very badly.
BRIANS (from walkie-talkie) Yeah, me and Julie will be down in a minute.
MILLER Alright. I’m right in front of the main doors.
He looks both ways, seeing only darkness, and nothing moving in the darkness. He looks up and sees the spot where a tile used to be. He points his guns up at the ceiling as he waits for his backup.
INT. MAIN ROOM - JULIE AND BRIANS ARE GOING INTO THE HALLWAY JUST AS GABE, CANDY, SIERRA, JEREMY, ANDREW, AND NOAH RUSH IN. HODGES IS LOOKING DOWN AT SMITH, WHO IS NOW LAYING ON A TABLE, STILL COVERING HIS WOUND. BAKER IS SITTING AT ONE OF THE DESKS, LOOKING DAZED.
SIERRA I don't understand what you all think you're doing here. Why can't we just leave?
HODGES Like Miller told you, right now this situation is contained in this building. If anyone else comes here, or if we just leave, there is the possibility of other people getting infected. We could end up with a whole city of these things. As it is, there's only two of them.
JEREMY Two of those things can do a lot of damage, man.
ANDREW Yeah! By keeping us here, you're endangering our lives.
HODGES You're all welcome to get back in your cells. Those should be pretty safe.
NOAH Damn it...
INT. THE HALLWAY - MILLER IS STILL STANDING NEAR DANTE AND THE BACK DOORS. HE STILL HAS HIS GUNS POINTED AT THE CEILING.
Dante looks bad, but he's conscious. Barely. Bloody drool is dripping from the corner of his mouth.
DANTE Fucker... bit me...
MILLER Just hold on, Brians and Julie should be here any second.
We watch them in silence for a few seconds, Miller watching the hole in the ceiling.
The silence is broken when a ceiling tile falls to the floor at the point where the hall turns.
Miller looks down the hall.
There's a few more seconds of silence, then another tile falls to the floor a couple feet from the last one.
MILLER Oh, shit.
Another tile falls a few feet down from the last, then another a few more feet. This continues to happen all the way down the hallway, Miller following along the ceiling with his guns.
When the tiles fall just 5 feet or so in front of him, Miller begins to fire into the ceiling.
He fires along the 5 feet of ceiling, then up into the hole as a furry blur passes over it.
He turns around, looking at the three feet or so of ceiling between the hole and the back doors.
MILLER Got you now...
Miller points the guns at the stretch of ceiling, pulls the triggers, and...
Click. They're empty.
MILLER Fuck.
We hear movement in the ceiling, and the Werewolf leaves the hallway's ceiling, going into the ceilings of the rooms along the hall.
Brians and Julie come running around the corner, guns drawn.
BRIANS What's going on?
MILLER A werewolf was around, but it left. Let's get out of here before it comes back.
Miller kneels down beside Dante.
