CRIMSON MOON 2
Written by Jeff Long
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
Well, 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 second.
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 around 11 or so
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 then. 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 front 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 eachother. Then they all
started shooting. The cops shot Jake
and some of the bikers, then Eddie
and them killed eachother. 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 CM- 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 as 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 instead of trying to escape.
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 a lot more than 10 people
there.
HOPPER
You can turn the tape off now, Baker.
BAKER
Oh, yeah.
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 CM,
FRAN IRELAND.
FLASH CUT TO-
FLASHBACK- We see the scene from the original where
a wolf 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
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.
Jimmy grabs what looks like it 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 wolf, 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 eachother.
Smith steps up to the rack, grabs it cautiously. He
starts to pick it up but stops, scared that whatever
might be under it might still be alive.
SMITH
Pull your gun, 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 it's 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 IN TOWN-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.
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 before he steps out of
the alley.
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 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 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 eachother.
SMITH
Ready, wolfy?
Jimmy opens his mouth to say something, but Smith runs
out of the hedges before he can.
JIMMY
Bastard.
Jimmy is elbow-crawls between the house and the hedges
as Smith positions himself on this side of the glass
door, all smiles.
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 livingroom.
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 still all smiles.
SMITH
(whisper)
Nervous?
INT. THE HOUSE-THE LIVINGROOM-SNORT IS STARING AT THE
FRONT DOOR, IN A DAZE.
From offscreen, 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 you 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.
EXT. HOUSE-JIMMY AND SMITH ARE STILL WAITING AT THE
SLIDING GLASS DOOR.
Jimmy is scratching the bandage on his arm.
SMITH
I heard Brians shouting in there.
We’re going in!
All of a sudden, Jimmy just swings his fist over and
the glass on the sliding door shatters and falls to
the ground. Jimmy moves his hand back out and it doesn't
have a single scratch on it. Smith’s eyes are wide.
They walk into the house and see Hopper forcing the
handcuffed Snort outside, as Brians brings the
girlfriend, who isn’t struggling anymore, outside.
SMITH
What’s the situation?
BUCKY
We’ve got two of them, and we know
for sure that there’s at least one
more. He ran off down that hall.
Bucky points down a hall and takes his gun back out.
Jimmy and Smith takes their guns out as well.
JIMMY
Let’s go.
The three of them rush off down the hall towards the
closed door at the end. When they get there, they
push their backs against the walls and notice that
the other doors in the hall are opened.
BUCKY
I guess this is the room.
SMITH
Open up! This is the Police!
All of a sudden, a hole gets blown in the door and
part of the wall next to Smith gets chipped away.
SMITH
(into walkie-talkie)
We have shots fired! We’re being
fired at!
As he’s talking, another hole gets blown in the door.
Then another.
HOPPER
(V.O.)
Fall back and wait for backup!
Bucky looks from Smith’s walkie-talkie to the door.
BUCKY
We can’t fall back and wait! He’ll
slip away!
Shouting is heard coming from the other side of the
door, but they can’t tell what's being said.
BUCKY
(correcting himself)
They’ll. They’ll slip away.
He raises his gun and fires a couple shots at the door
and starts sliding along the hall, heading towards it.
Suddenly, another hole breaks in the door and Bucky
screams out as his blood splatters the wall and he
falls to the floor.
SMITH AND JIMMY
Bucky!
They both raise their guns and start firing. With his
free hand, Smith raises his walkie-talkie.
SMITH
(into walkie-talkie)
Man down! Repeat, Man down!
HOPPER
(V.O.)
Who?
SMITH
(into walkie-talkie)
Bucky!
Another shot fires from the other side of the door
and just clips the walkie-talkie, causing it to fly
from Smith’s hand and smash on the floor.
SMITH
Dammit!
Just then, both Smith and Jimmy’s guns click on empty.
SMITH
Shit.
Jimmy starts scratching his bandage again as another
shot fires out and just misses him by an inch. He
doesn’t even blink or jump.
SMITH
Jimmy, what are you doing?! They
almost hit you!
A deep growl comes up from Jimmy’s throat and he runs,
picking up speed fast and jumping at the door, on all
fours, and knocking it off it’s hinges and falling
into the other room, still on his hands and feet.
Inside the room, Jimmy lifts his head and sees the
Boyfriend and Money, but Cokehead isn’t anywhere to
be seen.
CAMERA PANS DOWN AND WE SEE A BIG BLOOD STAIN LEAKING
OUT FROM UNDER THE DOOR, A SHOTGUN JUST BESIDE THE
BLOOD.
Jimmy growls again as he remains on all fours.
BOYFRIEND
What the...
Before he can even finish, Jimmy leaps up and lands
on him, pushing him to the floor. Jimmy is still
standing on him, but he has the Boyfriend’s arm in
his mouth.
BOYFRIEND
Ahhh! He’s biting me! This cop is
biting me!
Money, who was in shock up until now, shakes his head
and pumps the shotgun. Jimmy’s ears perk back when
he hears that and he lets the Boyfriend’s arm fall
to the floor and whips his head to look at Money with
a growl.
Money fires, and as quick as lighting, Jimmy jumps off
of The Boyfriend and the Boyfriend’s stomach explodes
when the shot hits him.
Jimmy jumps at Money, but Money moves out of the way
and Jimmy lands on the floor next to him. He kicks his
foot up, knocking the gun from Money’s hand, and then
swings his other foot out, tripping Money up, sending
him to the floor.
Jimmy stands and seems like he returns to normal. He
puts a foot on Money’s neck, keeping him from moving.
JIMMY
You move, I'll kill ya.
Smith slowly walks in, eyes wide.
SMITH
Where’d you learn to do that?!
Jimmy shrugs and Hopper and Brians run into the room,
guns drawn, ready to shoot. They slow to a stop as
they see that the only living person they can take
in is Money.
HOPPER
Holy shit! Who did this?
JIMMY
I did, sir.
Hopper looks around at the guns on the floor and looks
at all the guns in the closet, and sees all the cocaine
all over.
HOPPER
(still in shock)
Good job.
JIMMY
Thank you, sir.
Jimmy looks around the room, breathing heavily, with
a look on his face that shows even he's amazed at what
he's done... and not sure how he did it.
EXT. THE HOUSE-DAY-SQUAD CARS WITH SIRENS SCREAMING
START PULLING UP. THEY WERE NEVER TOO FAR AWAY.
INT. THE HOUSE-SMITH AND HOPPER ARE CHECKING ON BUCKY,
WHO IS LAYING IN THE HALLWAY, THE UPPER PART OF HIS
LEFT ARM BLEEDING, THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CHEST OF HIS
SHIRT ALL TORN UP.
BUCKY
How bad is it?
HOPPER
Looks like it got your vest mostly.
You should be alright.
BUCKY
Thank god.
SMITH
You'll be fine, Buck.
EXT. THE HOUSE-AN AMBULANCE PULLS UP WITH THE POLICE
CARS, SIRENS GOING.
At the front porch, Jimmy and Brians are leading Money
down the steps. Money isn't struggling, just walking
along with them, his head hanging.
As they start across the lawn, the paramedics head
for the house with a gurney.
A police officer is leading a German Shepherd on
leashes toward the house. The dog is sniffing the
air uneasily.
When they're about 10 feet from Jimmy, Money, and
Brians, the dog stops.
POLICE OFFICER
Go on.
The dog doesn't move.
POLICE OFFICER
What are you doing?
Jimmy, Money, and Brians reach them, going around
them, and the dog starts to growl.
As they pass, the dog turns around to watch them,
still growling.
POLICE OFFICER
What's wrong with you, Snoop? Come
on, we've got work to do.
The officer tries to pull the dog toward the house,
but it resists.
Jimmy, Money, and Brians reach a squad car and Brians
opens a back door.
Jimmy glances back at the growling dog just for a
second.
A train horn screams offscreen and the dog snaps. It
starts running toward Jimmy, pulling it's leash out
of the officer's hand.
POLICE OFFICER
Hey! Watch out!
As Brians starts to load Money into the car, he and
Jimmy look over just as the dog reaches them.
The dog jumps into the air, hitting Jimmy in the
chest with it's front paws and biting at his face.
JIMMY
Shit!
The force of the dog knocks Jimmy back against Brians,
and sends Brians falling back against the car's trunk.
The dog is back on the ground and barking at Jimmy,
occasionally taking bites at his legs.
Money sees his chance and pushes himself off the
car, making a run for it.
JIMMY
Get this fucking dog! Somebody stop
that guy!
Brians goes around the back of the car and starts
running after Money.
BRIANS
Stop!
The officer grabs the dog's leash and starts dragging
it away from Jimmy.
Jimmy turns and runs after Money and Brians. A few
other cops have seen what's going on and start
running after them, too.
Money has reached the railroad crossing at the end
of the block and is running as fast as he can. The
lights beside the crossing are flashing red and the
gates are down.
Offscreen, the train horn screams again.
BRIANS
Stop! You can't make it!
Money goes around the end of a gate, runs out onto
the crossing, and just as he does, the train horn
sounds again, deafeningly loud.
Money looks over, and just as he does a speeding
train slams right into him. The force of the hit
sends blood and some body parts flying. The "cow
catcher" on the front of the train throws most of
Money's body clear of the tracks.
Brians, who is at the gates, is hit by a wave of
blood as he turns away.
The other cops that were giving chase, including
Jimmy, stop running with shocked looks on their
faces.
Money's bloody and mangled body has landed in the
front yard of the house closest to the tracks.
We look at Jimmy, and slowly zoom into his shocked
face, as he breathes heavily from the run.
DISSOLVE TO:
CU OF A TV SCREEN.
On the TV is an exterior shot of the yellow house
with the yard full of police officers.
Paramedics are wheeling Bucky out on a gurney.
The shot pulls back a bit and a reporter is now
standing infront of us, holding a microphone.
REPORTER
A drug bust gone bad. Local police
raided this house on the 7th Street
earlier today, and while they stopped
one of the biggest cocaine dealers
in the area, that achievement didn't
come without a price. One police
officer wounded, four drug dealers
killed...
We pull back from the TV and turn away from it, seeing
that we're-
INT. A TOWNHOUSE-THE LIVINGROOM-A WOMAN, JIMMY'S
GIRLFRIEND MONICA HALE, IS SITTING ON A COUCH,
WATCHING THE TV.
As she watches, the front door opens.
She looks over at it and Jimmy enters. He looks a
little depressed and very worn out.
MONICA
Oh, honey, are you alright?
Monica stands up from the couch as Jimmy shuts the
front door.
JIMMY
I've had a hell of a day.
She reaches him, gives him a hug.
MONICA
They were talking about the drug
bust just now on the news.
JIMMY
It didn't go well.
They kiss.
MONICA
Who was wounded?
JIMMY
Bucky.
MONICA
Bad?
JIMMY
He'll be alright. Got shot in the
shoulder. He'll get time off, and
then he's gonna take his vacation
time.
Jimmy crosses through the livingroom, followed by
Monica, and goes into the kitchen.
MONICA
You don't really want to talk about
it, do you?
JIMMY
Not really. It was just... crazy.
Monica goes over and hugs Jimmy again.
MONICA
You want me to run you a bath?
JIMMY
Sure. Start running it and get in.
I’ll be along shortly.
MONICA
Ok.
Monica leaves the room and her footsteps can be heard
going upstairs. Jimmy sighs and turns, looking out
the window. It’s late afternoon, and the sun is just
starting to go down. Jimmy looks over at a clock and
it reads ‘4:30’. He sighs again as he turns and walks
out of the room.
INT. HALLWAY-THE DOOR TO THE BATHROOM IS CLOSED, BUT
WE CAN HEAR TWO SETS OF MOANING COMING FROM INSIDE.
INT. HALLWAY-MINUTES LATER-THE DOOR OPENS AND MONICA
WALKS OUT WITH A TOWEL WRAPPED AROUND HER, GIGGLING.
SHE TURNS AND WALKS DOWN THE HALL.
INT. BATHROOM-JIMMY IS LAYING IN THE TUB FULL OF WATER
AND BUBBLES. HE IS LEANING BACK, A SMILE ON HIS FACE,
AND HIS EYES CLOSED.
JIMMY
(smiling)
That was good.
He starts to feel weird and his eyes shoot open as
he looks down at his arm, frantically. Nothing. He
sighs and closes his eyes again.
CLOSE-UP OF ARM: TINY LITTLE HAIRS ARE STARTING TO
GROW.
INT. LIVINGROOM-LATER-MONICA IS SITTING DOWN IN THE
QUIET LIVINGROOM ALONE, READING "THE TALE OF THE BODY
THIEF" BY ANNE RICE. IT HAS GOTTEN DARK OUT AND THE
ONLY SOURCE OF LIGHT IS FROM A LAMP NEXT TO THE COUCH.
A loud thump comes from the kitchen, followed by the
sounds of pots and pans falling over.
MONICA
(looking up from her book)
Jimmy? What are you doing?
No answer.
MONICA
Jimmy?
Again, no answer. She sighs and lays her book on the
coffee table and stands up. She is now in a nightgown
and she straightens it before starting to walk slowly,
slowly approaching the kitchen.
MONICA
Ok, stop messing around.
She gets closer to the kitchen and sees that there’s
no light on in there. She finally reaches it and slowly
walks in.
INT. THE KITCHEN-MONICA ENTERS AND LOOKS AROUND.
The pots and pans rack that hangs from the ceiling is
swinging back and forth, and about half of the pots
and pans have fallen to the floor.
Suddenly, something jumps out at Monica and she screams
as it wraps it's arms around her.
She manages to pull away from it and as she turns
around to face it she hears laughing.
The light turns on and Jimmy is standing in front of
her, laughing.
MONICA
You scared me to death! What the
hell are you doing?
Jimmy is laughing too hard to answer.
Monica hits Jimmy on the arm and turns, storming out.
MONICA
Clean up the pots you knocked over!
Jimmy stayed back in the kitchen, watching her walk
away. His eyes look different somehow, but we don't
linger on him long enough to see.
INT. THE LIVINGROOM-MONICA IS WALKING BACK TO THE
COUCH, SHAKING HER HEAD.
MONICA
Idiot.
Monica picks her book back up, and as she does she
sees the kitchen light turn off out of the corner of
her eye.
MONICA
I hope the pans are all picked up!
She sits back down, opening the book to the page she
was on, then suddenly the lamp next to her goes out.
MONICA
(whispering)
What the hell?
She tries turning it on, but it won’t come on.
She stands up and walks over to the light switch on
the wall and flicks it a couple times, but nothing
happens.
MONICA
Jimmy! I think the fuse is blown!
Can you check it out?
No answer. Monica sighs, looking toward the kitchen.
MONICA
You're really starting to piss me
off, Jimmy.
From behind her comes a loud squeaking noise, and
Monica turns around to see that the basement door
is slowly swinging open.
MONICA
What's wrong with you tonight?
Monica starts walking towards the basement door.
INT. THE BASEMENT STAIRWAY-MONICA STEPS THROUGH THE
DOORWAY AND ONTO THE TOP STEP.
She reaches over to the wall and takes a flashlight
off the hook.
MONICA
How do you expect to check the fuse
without a light?
She turns the flashlight on and shines it on the stairs,
just as she hears a running sound, heading away from
the stairs. By the time the light beam gets there,
nothing’s there, but she catches a glimpse of fur.
MONICA
What the hell?
She heads down the stairs, shining the light around
the area of the bottom step.
She reaches the basement floor and shines the light
around the dark room, but it doesn’t fall on any
living thing.
MONICA
Jimmy, are you down h...
Suddenly, faster than you could blink an eye, the beam
falls on the face of a wolf, only it's up as high as
Monica. The beast is standing on two legs and it’s
arms were up. It growls and jumps, knocking Monica
to the floor, landing on top of her
EXT. STREET-NIGHT-MONICA’S SCREAM IS HEARD CUTTING
THROUGH THE AIR. SUDDENLY IT STOPS.
INT. LIVINGROOM-MONICA’S BODY IS LAYING ON THE FLOOR,
ALL BLOODY AND MANGLED, AND HER HEAD IS MISSING. THE
WEREWOLF IS STANDING ABOVE THE BODY AND IT AS IT’S
TEETH SUNK INTO THE HEAD. SUDDENLY, IT BRINGS IT’S
SNOUT OUT AND THE WOLF STARTS CHANGING. THE FUR SLOWLY
SHRINKS AND THE SNOUT STARTS TO GO BACK INTO THE HEAD
AS THE EARS ALSO SHRINK. BEFORE LONG, THE WEREWOLF IS
BACK TO BEING JIMMY. JIMMY LOOKS AT THE HEAD AND
QUICKLY DROPS IT, BACKING UP.
JIMMY
No. No. Nooooooo!
INT. THE BATHROOM-JIMMY QUICKLY SITS UP IN THE TUB,
STILL SCREAMING.
He looks around quickly, breathing heavily.
JIMMY
Holy shit...
The door opens and Monica steps into the doorway, now
wearing her nightgown.
MONICA
What was that?
JIMMY
Nothing.
MONICA
You just decided to scream "No!"?
JIMMY
I guess I fell asleep. Had a hell
of a dream.
MONICA
Ok... I think it's time for you to
get out of there.
JIMMY
I think so, too.
Jimmy stands up out of the tub.
INT. A BEDROOM-JIMMY IS STANDING AT A WINDOW, LOOKING
OUTSIDE.
Behind Jimmy, Monica is walking into the bedroom. She
shuts the door behind her.
MONICA
Are you alright?
Jimmy turns away from the window.
JIMMY
Yeah. Just really tired.
Monica and Jimmy walk over to the bed. During the
following conversation they pull the covers back on
the bed, get in, and cover up.
MONICA
What was your bathtub nightmare
about, anyway?
JIMMY
You don't want to know.
MONICA
Yes, I do. Especially now that
you've said I don't.
JIMMY
It wasn't about much, really. I
just turned into a werewolf and
ripped your head off.
MONICA
Another wolf dream?
JIMMY
Yeah, but this is the first time
I've actually been the wolf. I'm
getting sick of these damn dreams.
Ever since I got bit... The guys
give me shit about it every day.
Maybe that'll stop after today.
MONICA
It's just been a hectic time. Things
will settle down, and then the wolves
will be out of your head.
They kiss for a few seconds, then when they pull apart-
JIMMY
I hope so.
We move away from the bed, going back over to the
window that Jimmy was standing at. Once we reach the
window we look through it.
The moon is shining in the sky. It's a half moon,
waning.
We cut to a CU of the moon and "Moon Dawg" by The
Beach Boys kicks in.
We watch the moon as it quickly goes through it's
going through it's cycles. When the moon has disappeared
into the new moon phase, we see a series of quick
flashes that show a werewolf tearing something apart,
flesh and blood dripping from it's mouth.
When the flashes end we're back in the dark bedroom
and Jimmy is quickly sitting up in bed.
He looks around the room, which he's now alone in.
JIMMY
I can't take much more of this.
It's dawn, and sunlight is starting to shine in
through the window.
Jimmy sighs and climbs out of bed.
INT. THE BATHROOM-JIMMY IS STANDING AT THE SINK,
PUTTING HIS TOOTHBRUSH BACK INTO IT'S HOLDER.
After this he looks down at his arm. The bandage is
off, and all that remains of the wolf bite is a
large scar.
INT. THE KITCHEN-JIMMY IS STANDING BESIDE THE SINK,
IN UNIFORM. MONICA IS STANDING ACROSS FROM HIM,
LEANING ON THE COUNTER AS THEY TALK.
JIMMY
I start working nights tomorrow.
MONICA
I don't know why you asked to do
that, now we'll hardly ever get to
see eachother. You'll get off work
at 7 and be going to bed just as I
get up. Then just when you wake up,
I'll be going to work.
JIMMY
I can wait to go to sleep after you
go to work.
MONICA
So I get a tired zombie version of
you. Great.
JIMMY
You know I don't sleep that much
anymore. There's no problem here.
That's why I'm working nights. The
dreams. It's been over three weeks
now, and they just get worse. They're
scaring me. Much longer and I'm gonna
go to a psychiatrist or something.
MONICA
I think you should have gone to a
psychiatrist before changing your
work schedule over them.
JIMMY
Yeah, but I hate things like that.
I'd rather suffer through the mental
anguish.
MONICA
It's your own fault then, and therefore
I'm still mad at you for switching
to nights.
JIMMY
I did it for your protection!
MONICA
My protection?
JIMMY
Yes.
MONICA
How is it protecting me?
JIMMY
Well, according to the calendar, in
a little over a week it'll be a full
moon again.
MONICA
So?
JIMMY
So if my dreams come true and I end
up turning into a werewolf, you don't
want me to be around you, do you?
Jimmy laughs.
MONICA
You're not funny. At all.
EXT. THE NIGHT SKY-THE MOON IS ONCE AGAIN SHINING.
IT'S NOW A HALF MOON, WAXING.
EXT. THE POLICE STATION-NIGHT-JIMMY WALKS UP TO THE
FRONT DOOR, OPENS IT, AND ENTERS.
INT. THE STATION-JIMMY IS WALKING DOWN A HALL.
He passes Austin Baker going in the other direction
and they nod to each other.
BAKER
Hey, Jim.
Jimmy continues down the hall and a door opens in front
of him.
Another cop steps out without looking first, running
right into Jimmy.
COP
Oh, I'm sorry.
JIMMY
It's alright. You're new, aren't
you?
COP
Yeah. Kevin Miller. But I'm getting
used to answering to "Rookie" and
"Hey, you."
JIMMY
(smiles)
You'll get that for a while. I'm
Jimmy Bonham.
They shake hands.
MILLER
Jimmy Bonham... I'm supposed to ride
with you tonight.
JIMMY
You are?
MILLER
That's what Sheriff Hopper said.
He said your partner was off for
a while with some kind of an injury,
so I should ride with you.
EXT. A PATROL CAR-NIGHT-IT'S DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL
STREET.
INT. THE CAR-JIMMY IS DRIVING AND MILLER IS RIDING
SHOTGUN. AND SPEAKING OF SHOTGUN, THERE'S A SHOTGUN
ATTACHED TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD WITH A LOCK.
MILLER
So how long have you worked with
the department?
JIMMY
(whispering)
Too damn long.
MILLER
What?
JIMMY
10 years.
MILLER
Wow.
They continue driving, looking out the windows.
MILLER
Does anything ever happen here?
JIMMY
Well just the other day, we made a
drug bust that we’ve been on for a
long time.
Jimmy looks out the window and sees that the sky is
cloudy, but is starting to clear up. Some stars are
starting to shine.
He suddenly gets a strange feeling in the pit of his
stomach, and shifts around a bit.
JIMMY
Look, let’s say we start heading
back. We’ve been out here for a
while and nothing’s happened. I
don’t really feel well.
MILLER
Sure. Ok. I’m only the Rookie. You
make the choices.
Jimmy looks out the window as he turns the steering
wheel, turning the car around.
MILLER
They were talking about you down
at the station. They said that you
were getting married soon.
JIMMY
In two months. Yeah.
As he drives, Jimmy took out a wallet and shows Miller
a picture of Monica.
MILLER
Wow, she’s hot!
Jimmy looks at him.
MILLER
Sorry.
As Jimmy puts his wallet away, Miller takes out his
and opens it.
MILLER
That’s my wife and twin girls. They’re
two. In the terrible twos.
Jimmy looks at the wallet.
JIMMY
Nice family. We hope to have three
kids once we get married.
Suddenly a wolf runs out from an alley and in front
of the car.
Jimmy’s eyes go wide as he swerves the car and he
slams on the brakes just before it hit the side wall
of a building.
Jimmy and Miller breath heavily, catching their breath
as Jimmy watches the wolf run away.
MILLER
Jeez, that was close.
JIMMY
(dazed)
Yeah.
He continued to watch the wolf, and after it got so
far away, it turned back and looked at them. Jimmy
could have sworn that he saw it looking directly at
him.
MILLER
We almost hit that kitty.
JIMMY
(snapping back to reality)
What?
MILLER
Good thing you swerved and missed
the cat.
Jimmy looks back and sees a cat walking away from them,
across the street. He frantically looked around, but
the wolf was gone.
JIMMY
Did you see a wolf?
MILLER
A wolf? Nope. Just the cat. Are you
feeling ok?
JIMMY
(shaking his head)
Yeah, sure. Let’s just get back to
the station.
Jimmy starts the car back up, gets back on the road,
and they continue driving back to the station.
EXT. THE CAR-NIGHT-WE WATCH IT DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD
UNTIL IT DISAPPEARS IN THE DARKNESS, THEN WE CUT TO-
CU 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 it's 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
Alright. 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 INFRONT 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, since 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 INFRONT OF THE 4
CELLS.
We go down the hall as well, but as we go we turn
to look the cells over.
There are 6 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 eachother.
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 it's 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 infront 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 infront 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.
Miller is still in the corner, the cover still
draped over him.
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 wolf.
BOBBY
I don't fucking know.
Bobby approaches the wolf.
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 wolf's arms.
When the needle is three inches from the wolf'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 wolf swings
Dan's body infront of it.
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 eachother 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 wolf, 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 wolf 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 wolf leaps forward.
Hopper raises his gun and fires 4 times rapidly into
the wolf's chest.
The wolf slams into him, biting into his left shoulder.
The wolf and Hopper slam back into the concrete
wall, cracking it.
BAKER
Dusty!
The wolf 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 wolf's head but before
he can shoot, the wolf 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 the deputy'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.
2 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 wolf rushes Davis, the other rushes Smith. Both
men scream.
The wolf that rushed Smith grabs him by the chest
and tosses him back against the bars.
He fumbles for his gun as the wolf growls at him.
The wolf 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 wolf lunges at him, Davis's legs
are swung across it's face.
The wolf 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 wolf stands on the fallen door as Smith scrambles
to his feet, pulling his gun.
He raises the gun to shoot the wolf, and it bites
down on his arm.
Smith screams.
The other wolf jumps into the room, landing infront
of Hodges.
Hodges raises his gun and the wolf punches him.
Hodges flies backwards, going through the window
that looks into the interrogation room.
