Dogman 3: Fight to the Finish (2025) Movie Script
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) Seems these days
you've been unkind to me
If I were you, I'd tread
a little more carefully
May I remind you there's
a minefield below your feet
And I hold the detonator
Do yourself a favor and be sweet
Said we're living
in this house of cards
But only take a stiff wind
to bring this all down, baby
Here's a little something,
shouldn't have to explain
I'm just a levee
holding back the truth
Well, the truth, yes, the truth
You see, the truth
would be a hurricane
No need to panic
No need to be alarmed
But you promised you
would never hurt me
When I was laying in your arms
Now this little meeting
seems to have lost its charm
Well, you're
fantastically sarcastic
Finding little
ways to do me harm
Said we're living
in this house of...
I think there's
another pisser upstairs.
Thanks.
(SINGING)... bring
this all down, baby
Here's a little something,
shouldn't have to explain
Well, the truth, yes, the truth
You see, the truth
would be a hurricane
[ELECTRICITY CACKLES]
[SCREAMS]
[GROANS]
Oh, yeah.
[LAUGHS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Oh.
Hi, Nick.
Hey, Rita.
I got your order.
Great.
One shot decaf caramel latte.
With a smidge of cinnamon?
I didn't forget.
Thank you.
What are you up to today
with your fancy drink?
Oh, you know me.
I'm up to no good.
Don't get caught.
I'll try my best.
Have a good one.
What's going on?
Had some trouble
here last night.
Sheesh.
I guess so.
What the hell happened?
Hey, don't touch that!
Crap.
You know something about this.
Kind recognize that fur.
What are you talking about?
Much years ago, I had
some trouble like this.
Trouble like this?
No, no, it can't be.
It must be some
other explanation.
This guy got attacked by some
kind of animal or something.
How's he doing?
He's at the hospital now.
Got pretty messed up.
You know, there's no regular
animal around here big enough
to do this sort of thing.
Except one.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Hey, Jeshen.
Thanks for coming by.
Long time no see.
Have a seat.
Haven't seen you since
high school, right?
Yeah, I know.
I took off, moved to Lansing.
So, Sheriff's deputy, huh?
I know.
La-di-da.
Who would have thought?
So were you a cop in Lansing?
I was, eventually.
When this job opened up,
I decided to move back.
So, what's up?
Your uncle Hank
told me to call you.
Uncle Hank?
Why?
What happened?
Did you hear about this?
Oh, my God.
Last night, behind the bar.
What happened?
We're still not sure.
He actually survived.
Hank told me you might
know something about this.
I lost my best friend
from an attack like this.
You remember Sam Reynolds?
I remember Sam.
Sam died?
He did.
And Uncle Hank got attacked too.
That was, [SIGHS] 14 years ago.
He seems OK now.
He is.
They found an antidote for him.
An antidote?
For what?
Well, it turns out you get
this virus if the dog man gouged
you, like a bad cat scratch.
That's what killed poor Sam.
Did you just say dog man?
What the hell is that?
It's what it sounds like.
Like dog man?
You're messing with me.
Dogman?
It's like some
kind of mutant that
gets really pissed sometimes.
I didn't know there
were any more around.
So your uncle Hank survived
because he got the antidote?
He did.
They discovered a wild moss that
neutralized the virus somehow.
He was lucky.
This is unbelievable.
Yeah, I studied this
stuff for a bit in college.
I had to find out what I could.
So dog man, huh?
Half dog, half...
Afraid so.
So why did he attack this guy?
Check this out.
These reports are
from seven years ago.
There have been reports
of large dogs standing upright.
And it goes on.
Case number 4863, 64, 65, 66.
This one says it chased
somebody down an alleyway.
And then there's a bunch more
from seven years before that.
That's the thing.
Every seven years.
Here's the coroner's conclusion.
These so-called dogs were
responsible for at least
three human deaths.
And that's it.
That's the end of the report.
Every seven years.
Seven years.
[EERIE MUSIC]
Oh, hey, Hank.
Hey, Lorna.
Oh, Baylife, huh?
I didn't know that you
were interested in...
Anyway, look what I got.
How's he doing?
Well, they wanted
to keep him overnight.
So...
What are you doing?
How old is Oliver, anyway?
I don't know.
I think we got
him six years ago.
Why?
Just wondering.
[MACHINE BEEPS]
How is he?
His vitals are marginal.
He had a lot of trauma.
Well, you should know that there
is an animal out
there that seems
to show up every so often.
And it's a mutant dog,
and it's really big.
You think a big dog did this?
JESHEN: It's... it's a virus.
And it's probably already made
its way into this guy's blood.
He knows what
he's talking about.
It's claw virus stuff
killed one of his friends.
I'm telling you,
this guy is in trouble.
He needs the antidote.
An antidote?
We don't even know what
we're dealing with.
I think my uncle might have
saved some from the last time.
The moss.
Did you say moss?
[PANTS]
LORNA: Hank?
In here.
What are you doing?
Just going through
some old stuff.
Oh.
Oh.
It's still hard
to believe she's gone.
Yeah.
Listen, I didn't
want to scare you,
but there's a chance
that dog man's back.
There's been an attack.
Oh, no.
Yeah, a guy got pretty beat up.
He's in the hospital.
I thought we got rid of them.
Me too.
Maybe it's something else.
Where'd this happen?
Downtown.
There's got to be
another explanation.
Yeah, maybe.
Here.
Thanks.
Oh, excellent.
LORNA: You actually did it.
- I sure did.
I got a deal, too.
50 bucks.
That's weird.
What?
HANK: 42% terrier.
58% inconclusive.
Inconclusive?
Maybe that's why you
got such a great deal.
Excuse me.
I know you.
Aren't you the guy that got...
Got what?
You know, attacked
by that dog man.
I guess I'm just not
much of a dog person.
I visited you in the hospital.
You were pretty beat up.
Can I buy you
a coffee or something?
No, I'm very busy.
Just a couple minutes, please.
Well, since you're a fan.
I'm Hank.
Wallace.
All this from the attack?
Yeah, it was
a pretty shitty day.
And I did visit
you in the hospital.
No one thought you'd make it.
I didn't.
What?
I lost my job, I lost my arm,
I lost my eye, I can't sleep,
I can't drive,
my girlfriend dumped me.
Although to be fair,
she was probably
going to do that anyway.
I don't remember you.
Oh.
You were pretty out of it.
Kind of creepy.
Why were you visiting me?
I was just trying
to help if I could.
That was seven years ago.
A bunch of people got hurt.
Some died.
Same thing happened
seven years before that.
Yeah, I was there, too.
The son of a bitch jumped me
while I was riding my bike.
That was you?
[LAUGHS] Busted
my leg up pretty good.
I knocked his tooth out with
my water bottle, though.
So I guess we're even.
I didn't know what that
thing really was at the time.
Turns out it was the dog man.
Who would have thought?
My nephew's friend, he
died from gashes like yours.
It carried something
bad, got into his blood.
Well, it didn't kill me.
You must have had
the moss treatment.
That's that's what I had.
It attacked you, too?
Yeah.
If it hadn't been for that moss,
I'd have been dead as well.
I didn't hear anything
about this moss.
Sounds stupid.
It saved my life.
Well, I should be going.
Oh, just so you
know, they're back.
A guy got attacked behind
the bar right over there.
I found some of the dog man fur.
I know what it looks like.
Right Here in town, huh?
That's weird.
Yeah.
So he actually survived?
Yeah, I saw him
at the coffee shop.
I barely recognized him.
It has been seven years.
Doesn't seem that long.
Really messed up.
Lost an arm and an eye.
He's in tough shape.
Oh, that's awful.
Yeah.
Believe it or not, I didn't
realize that he's the same guy
that got nailed 14 years ago.
Sorry bastard.
Must have a target on his back.
Wow, twice.
I know, right?
Both times got
gashed up real bad.
Still made it.
The moss.
Had to be.
I visited him in the hospital
back then both times.
It's funny because he
was so bandaged up,
I didn't realize that
it was the same guy.
I don't remember any
moss either time,
but maybe I just missed it.
Well, it certainly
worked for you.
Yeah, it did.
Thanks to Frances.
She discovered it.
You know, Dorothy was
really worried about you.
Dorothy.
Rest her soul.
Yeah.
I sure miss her.
Yeah.
I miss having a sister.
It still breaks my heart.
You know, I thought
we were done with it.
But with what happened
the other night...
Do you think he's
going to be OK?
I don't know.
Do you really
think they're back?
Hi.
How can I help?
I was wondering
if you could give me
some information
about a friend of mine
who was treated
here a while back.
Sorry.
All our records
are confidential.
Oh, I know.
But he's a friend.
Only doctors can
access information here.
Even then, with
the patient permission.
I just need to know
one little thing.
Kind of important.
Like I said, it's confidential.
I just need to know
something about how
a patient was treated seven
years ago from a dog attack.
Sir, if your friend
comes in, then
we can release the records.
Otherwise, there's
nothing I can...
Hank?
Hank Purvis.
Meg.
What are you doing here?
Well, I pretty much been
here since I last saw you.
You're looking fit.
Oh, thanks.
This is because I've
been eating nothing
but vegan crap
since Dorothy died.
Wow.
I'm so sorry to hear
about Dorothy.
I just heard rumors.
Do you mind if I ask
what actually happened?
Well, the last time
we were out on 29...
Yeah.
Dorothy took my shotgun
into the woods.
I wasn't there,
but I heard about it.
By herself?
Yeah, she followed
after the dog man.
It had just killed someone.
She figured she'd
put an end to it.
And she did, too.
I don't know what got
into her, but she got scared
and dropped my shotgun
on the way out.
But she was fine, right?
Yeah, yeah.
She was.
But a couple weeks later,
she decided to surprise
me and go back and get it.
Alone?
Yep, alone.
She knew it was special to me.
And she felt bad
for leaving it out there.
Oh, my God.
She didn't have a chance.
There's a dog man
still out there.
That's awful.
I'm so sorry.
Bless her heart.
I wasn't even going
to go back and get it.
At least not that soon.
I would have stopped her
if I knew what she was up to.
Well, anyway, they're back.
It's been seven years.
There's been an attack
a couple nights ago.
I thought we were done with it.
Me too.
Guy's upstairs in ICU.
Is he going to be OK?
Hard to tell.
That's why I'm here.
The records room?
Do you remember the guy that got
attacked out on 29 by his car?
A really, really messed up.
No one thought he'd
make it, but he did.
I remember.
Well, I just saw him.
No kidding.
Yeah.
And as it turns out,
he's the same guy
that got attacked by the
dog man, the guy, when you
were a deputy, on his bike.
Oh, my God.
How could I forget?
It was you and I and...
BOTH: Francis.
It was like...
14 years ago.
Well, I'm glad he's OK.
He's not really OK.
So how can I help?
Well, I need to find out if
he was treated with the moss.
He didn't know
anything about it.
I'm sure he was.
I just need to know for sure.
So why do you care now?
The guy upstairs is
in serious trouble.
So I need to know
how he was treated,
the moss or something else.
This is crazy.
Yeah.
I kept some of my moss
in the freezer just in case.
Seemed like a good idea.
It saved my life.
You got to get that
moss to the hospital
right away just in case.
I did.
I already did.
It's not working.
OK.
This could take a while.
I'm going to need some
kind of authorization.
I could try to bring him in.
He really has to.
What if I have him call?
He has to come in.
We could start the paperwork.
What's his name?
Wallace.
Last name?
How many Wallaces can there be?
OK.
It was seven years ago.
It was in the fall.
September.
I never pictured you as a vegan.
Tell me about it.
Been hanging out with
Dorothy's sister.
Lorna?
Lorna, Lorna.
OK.
Lorna with the golf club?
I know.
She's a lot nicer now.
[VOCALIZING]
[GROWLS]
WOMAN: [SCREAMS]
MAN (ON PHONE):
59 Base, 59 Base.
MAN (ON PHONE):
Unknown emergency
at 3840, County road, 29.
That's 3840, County road, 29.
Details.
MAN (ON PHONE): Just that
a woman made the call.
Sounded distressed.
Hasn't responded to call back.
10-4, on my way.
[SIREN WAILING]
Hello?
Sheriff's Department.
Hello?
Hello?
Ma'am, are you OK?
Here, here.
Sit down.
Have a seat.
It's OK.
Please, can you tell
me what happened?
It's some kind of wolf or dog.
Huge.
It came out
of the woods over there.
It was standing
on its hind legs.
It ran toward me.
I didn't know what to do.
I screamed.
And it turned
and went off that way.
Ma'am, I'm going to call
you an ambulance, OK?
Well, screw that.
You go find it.
Ma'am, I don't know about that.
I'm just here to make
sure you're OK.
All right?
It was bleeding right here.
Go!
Hello?
WALLACE (ON PHONE):
I've got something
you might want to see.
- I'm sorry.
Who is this?
WALLACE (ON PHONE): Wallace.
We met at the coffee shop.
- Oh, yeah.
Wallace.
What's going on?
WALLACE (ON PHONE):
You were right.
About what?
WALLACE (ON PHONE):
They're back.
What makes you say that?
WALLACE (ON PHONE):
Meet me at the park.
OK.
Hey, listen, I
wanted to... hello?
Hello, Wallace?
Since you're nosing around
looking for the dog man,
I thought you might
want to see this.
My cousin set up a camera
behind her house.
Bears getting
into her bird feeder.
And?
You're the dog catcher.
Take a guess.
You got a shot of the dog man?
It's a video.
For real?
[LAUGHS] It's real.
Where did she live?
Out on 29.
Scared it off with
a shot from her 30-30.
Ran off in the woods.
You'll see.
Oh, wait.
We're on 29.
About five or six
miles, I guess.
Near the old Murphy house?
That place always
creeped me out.
When did this happen?
Last week.
You're welcome.
HANK: Lorna?
Hello?
Lorna?
Damn.
[DIALING]
[PHONE RINGS]
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Hello.
Hi, Francis?
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Yes.
Who's this?
It's Hank.
Hank Purvis from Michigan.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
Hank Purvis.
What a nice surprise.
How are you doing?
I'm fine.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
Great to hear from you.
It's been a while.
Yeah, 7 years.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Oh, no.
The dog man.
Pretty sure.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): [SIGHS]
I thought they were all gone.
Me too.
There's been an attack.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Oh, my God.
I know you moved away.
Where are you now?
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
British Columbia.
I came here about
five years ago.
No kidding.
That's like 2000
miles from here.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
I had to get away,
far away, after what happened.
I can understand that.
I was just hoping, well, since
you had some kind of
connection with...
Well...
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): I put
that whole thing behind me.
It was just way too painful.
It was awful.
I know it was.
I hope it's OK that I called.
I just need to talk
to someone who gets it.
I need some advice.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Hank, I've
been having dreams lately.
Dreams?
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): I
see a green, dark forest.
It's always the same.
Dorothy was there.
She's standing alone.
Francis, Dorothy passed.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): What?
Oh, no.
I'm so sorry.
Still can't believe it myself.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
What can I do?
Is there any way you could
come back, just at least
for a little while?
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Oh,
Hank, the authorities
need to handle it now.
We were in way over our head.
Maybe, but...
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
This is dangerous stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
They're like
a chrysalis, a cocoon.
Somehow, it's their time again.
Lorna.
Hey, Hank.
Jeesh!
Lorna, I didn't
hear you come in.
What are you doing?
Look at this.
Oh, yeah, I
remember that picture.
I bet you do.
You smashed the frame.
Yeah, well, I was kind
of going through a rough patch.
Seven years ago.
Oh, there he is.
Did you call the cops?
They know about it.
I've had it this long.
Might as well keep it.
This is a little unusual.
And I'm just trying
to figure it out.
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
I can definitely search.
Hi.
Sorry to interrupt.
Meg, you got a minute?
Sure.
Yeah.
I called Francis.
She's awesome.
You spoke with her?
Yeah, yeah.
She lives in British
Columbia now.
Did you tell her
what's going on?
I did.
What'd she say?
She said we should
let the cops handle it.
She's right.
Cops don't know what
they're dealing with.
You want to go through
with all that again?
I don't have a choice.
You don't have a choice.
Me?
I have a job.
I can't just take off with
you guys like last time.
Did you get my text?
I sent it this morning.
Oh, crap.
I had my ringer off.
Did you find something?
I did.
I just kind of asked around.
And?
About your friend Wallace,
turns out they didn't use moss.
He was badly injured.
But as for the virus, he
apparently never got it.
Wow.
Wait, if he didn't
get the moss, then...
Well, I'll try
to get some time off.
[EERIE MUSIC]
Hey, Wallace.
We need to talk.
Your text said
you'd buy me lunch.
Yeah, yeah, I will.
But listen, the video
you gave me proves
that the dog man is back.
I figured you'd want
to know, dog detective.
The guy that got attacked,
last antidote isn't working.
He's really sick.
That's too bad.
But I'm not a veterinarian.
Look, you got nailed
twice by that damn thing,
and you never got the virus.
And you never had
the moss antidote.
So?
So... so there's something
in your gizzard that kept
you from getting infected.
Well, I am just
a poster boy for luck.
No, no, no, no.
They want to bring you
in, run some tests,
see if there's
something to this.
I'll pass.
No, no, man.
You don't have a choice.
You're coming with me.
What about my lunch?
What the hell's going on?
If it turns out
to be true that you
got something going on that
neutralizes the virus,
it's beyond me.
This is a kidnapping.
WALLACE: Shut
the hell up, Wallace!
Hey, Joney.
That's Wallace.
He's your guy.
Hey, Wallace.
Thanks for coming over.
I didn't come over.
I was abducted.
That's over.
No, no, no.
No shots.
This won't hurt a bit.
- I'm afraid of needles.
- Just give me your arms.
You son of a bitch.
Sit still!
You're lucky I only
have one arm, tough guy.
I swear to God.
I am so sick of your shit.
[SCREAMS]
Hey, dummy.
It's just an alcohol swab.
Well, it burns!
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
[GROANS]
- All set.
- Oh.
Hey, what?
Thanks a ton.
I'll get this right in.
You're such a sweetheart.
WALLACE: Hey, that's my blood.
I want it back.
Would you, for the love
of God, shut the hell up?
Call the cops!
He was stable five minutes ago.
He's at 210 over 130.
His heart rate is 145.
Give him more sedative.
He can't take many
more of those.
Meg, hi!
Oh, it's so good to see you.
You too.
I'll call you later
so we can catch up.
We're kind of busy right now.
Yeah, sure.
That'd be great.
Who's that?
That's Wallace.
Who are you?
It's you.
Oh, my God.
It's him, all right.
That was awful.
No, all this
happened a second time.
He got nailed twice.
Poor bastard.
Dogman did that to you?
Yep.
Wait, why is he with you guys?
Hang on, Francis.
Kidnapped.
Hello?
Just a second.
It's Lorna, some
kind of emergency.
Will you put it on speaker?
Yeah.
Hey, Francis.
We'll call you back later, OK?
Bye.
Hey, Lorna.
What's going on?
LORNA (ON PHONE):
Hank, why don't you
answer your own phone?
I'm driving.
I have my ringer off.
LORNA (ON PHONE): You
got to get here quick.
Oliver's gone.
Where are you?
LORNA (ON PHONE): At the house.
Hurry!
Well, he's got to be
around someplace.
Don't panic.
LORNA (ON PHONE):
I had him tied up
while I was in the backyard.
And now he's gone.
Stay put.
I'll be right there.
LORNA (ON PHONE): Hurry!
Oh, come on.
Get me out of here.
What happened?
It came out
of nowhere and jumped me
and ran off when you drove up.
What the hell was it?
[GROANS] My back.
Oliver!
Oliver!
Come here, boy.
You haven't found him?
No, and I've looked everywhere.
- Oh, Meg.
- It's good to see you.
It's been awhile.
Yeah, we'll catch up later.
We gotta find Oliver.
- Where did you last see him?
- Right here.
He was tied up.
Has this happened before?
No, we've done this 100 times.
Help!
Help me!
Who is that?
That's Wallace,
the guy I told you about.
Kind of a dick.
The guy who didn't
get the virus?
Yep, we just came
from the hospital.
They're testing his blood.
Do you have a picture of him?
WALLACE: Nobody's helping me.
That's your dog?
LORNA: Yes, Oliver.
Why?
Still not being helped!
Shut up, Wallace.
[SCREAMS] No.
That was the son
of a bitch that jumped me.
That thing could have killed us.
Why didn't it?
Did you notice he was
bleeding, from his chest?
He was?
Oh, shit.
I found something.
That we'd be
doing this ever again.
Me either.
You were the one
that saved Hank.
Yeah, I trusted 9 iron.
You're welcome.
It sure seemed
like the end of it.
Yeah, it did.
I just saw a video of it.
Wallace gave it to me.
What?
My cousin Lulu.
Her backyard camera deal.
It was definitely the dog man.
She was all freaked out.
You actually saw
a video of the dog man?
I did, yeah.
Taken last week.
Lulu looks like you.
Like me?
She shot at it.
Scared it off.
Hang on, Hank.
Looks like me?
She's blonde.
I suppose it's
looking for me, because
of what I did to its mom.
All right, stop.
That was seven years ago.
Maybe it watched what
happened that night,
saw what you did.
Can we just find Oliver?
You're scaring me.
You should be scared.
Hello?
That's right.
Are you sure?
Right now?
OK, thanks.
We need to get him
to the hospital right away.
Wait, who?
Me?
Oh, no.
Not again.
Oh, no.
Nope.
- Look, dipshit...
- Hank.
No.
There's a guy in there that
got nailed by the dog man.
He's going to die if we
don't find the antidote.
Now somehow, you got something
in your blood that they need.
You have to help.
This is the stupidest thing.
[GROANS]
What?
Stay back.
HANK: Come on now.
WALLACE: Stay back.
HANK: Hey!
Don't do that.
[GROANS]
LORNA: Hank!
HANK: What the hell, man?
[GROWLS]
Easy.
Easy, guy.
Get your ass inside.
Is he going to be all right?
We had to give him
a pretty strong sedative.
He wasn't cooperating.
What's next?
We need to harvest
enough of his blood
to verify this antidote idea.
You actually found something?
It's not 100% for sure, but yes.
Hank, we should keep
looking for Oliver.
Yeah.
Of course.
Let's go back to the house.
Maybe he went home.
OK.
Wait.
Jeshen, what's going on?
What happened?
She was out riding her bike.
We got attacked.
- Oh, God.
- Where did it happen?
Out on 29.
Come on, let's go.
Damn it!
Oh, my God.
She is unstable.
These injuries look
just like the ones
we saw a couple of days ago.
I know.
He is still in the ICU.
Doctor, Jeshen called.
What's going on?
He's stable.
The woman that came in at the
same time, she started seizing.
That's the first sign.
I just heard you have
patients with lacerations
from an animal.
Two, actually.
One of them started
to have seizures.
There's a patient in the ICU
with the same thing.
That's three so far.
They don't have much time.
She's right.
What about that blood sample?
We found an anomaly.
The man in the ICU that
got attacked downtown.
Yes?
He didn't make it.
Hey, what's going on?
No, no, no, it
doesn't concern you.
Well, that's what I've
been telling everyone.
None of this concerns me.
No.
Tell me how all this
happened to you?
It doesn't matter.
It does matter.
I've got to know what
I'm dealing with.
Well, it all started years ago.
I was riding my bike.
And this dark shape burst
out of the treeline.
Terrifying.
I've never seen
anything like it.
It's huge.
Knocked me down, broke my leg,
gave me some deep gashes
and ran off.
Now, it took a while, but I
recovered from that one.
Then a few years ago,
it happened again.
My car broke down on 29,
flat tire, no spare.
He got me in the open.
Nowhere to run.
That's when all this happened.
Arm, my eye.
Almost killed me.
I don't know why it didn't.
Yeah, it's horrible.
This happened 14 years ago.
I was there.
All this happened
seven years ago.
Back then, the only
way to treat the virus
was by applying
a poultice of wild moss.
For real.
He never got any
moss, and he survived.
Because they didn't
know what else to do.
They just used moss
on the man in the ICU.
I don't know where they got it.
I brought it in.
Well, it didn't help.
He didn't make it.
Apparently, the moss
isn't working anymore.
Jeshen is here in the hospital.
And he needs
an antidote now and...
Listen, there's
something in your blood
that might hold the key.
Well, I'm not a lab rat.
Hank.
Stay.
No, no shots.
Not this shot.
Call the blood bank.
Hi.
Hello.
Family?
No, but I know who he is.
How's it going?
Fine.
I work in records.
There's been a lot of questions
about this guy's history.
Just thought I'd stop by.
He fell asleep?
Sedated.
What's this about, anyway?
They didn't tell you?
Just that we're
harvesting a few cells.
We do that all the time.
Who are you?
I work in records now, but I
was a Sheriff's deputy back
when this guy got injured.
I know all about it.
[GROANS]
Oh, no.
What the hell's going on?
What the hell?
Get me out of here!
Hold still.
Get me out of here!
[GRUNTS]
Give him the shot!
No, not the shot!
Call the ER and tell
them what happened.
Can we get it running again?
Hey, Jeshen.
Hey, Uncle Hank.
How are you feeling?
Not so good.
I had some kind
of reaction last night.
HANK: What do you mean?
Kind of like a seizure, I guess.
They gave me
something, and I don't
remember anything after that.
We're going to get through this.
The moss doesn't
work anymore, does it?
No.
No, it doesn't.
But they have some new ideas.
Who does?
The hospital.
It has a lab.
I took a couple classes
in college on this stuff.
Research takes years.
Yeah, but still.
Sam had a gash like mine.
Don't.
That was a long time ago.
I heard the girl I brought
in isn't doing very well.
Yeah.
Well, she didn't make it.
I saw it.
I saw the dog man.
He's at the old Murphy
house on Highway 29.
MAN (ON PHONE): Can
you repeat that?
I said I saw the dog man.
He's at the old Murphy
house on Highway 29.
MAN (ON PHONE): 10-4, stand by.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON PHONE):
This is Chief Daniels.
Where are you?
I'm on my way back to base, sir.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON PHONE): Did
you say you spotted the dog man?
Yes, he's at the old
Murphy house on Highway 29.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON PHONE):
Get your ass back there now.
That's an order.
He's probably gone by now, sir.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON
PHONE): Turn around!
All right, chief.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON
PHONE): Shoot to kill.
10-4.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON PHONE):
59, this is Chief Daniels.
Over.
Just a heads up.
I should have said it before.
Be very, very, very careful.
59 over.
59?
I get it.
I wouldn't respond either.
Out.
[SIREN WAILING]
We can't let this happen again.
Be ready if he comes to.
Good.
Hopefully, he's got plenty
of those cells left.
Hello?
Yeah, of course.
I'll be right there.
Bye.
Good luck.
Son of a bitch.
Hey, thanks for stopping by.
Jeshen was asking for you.
Hey, Jeshen.
How you doing?
I need to ask you something.
Of course.
The first time this happened
when Sam was attacked...
That was awful.
You were a deputy then.
What was the official report?
That you and Sam were in the
woods by the Garland swamp,
I think.
That Sam had been
attacked by a...
I think we called it
a large feral dog.
Did you ever use the word
dog man in the report?
No, I don't think so.
Why not?
I guess we all hope
that was the end of it.
I guess I was afraid that if I
said anything about dog man...
If you would have
called it what it was,
this whole thing might
have ended right then.
I mean, maybe the police
could have gotten involved.
What are you doing?
Hey, he doesn't know
what he's saying.
- Maybe he's right.
- Don't.
Stop it.
I don't blame you.
Probably nobody would
have believed it anyways.
How is he doing?
We need to get out there
right now and deal with this.
This has to end.
We might have enough
to get this started.
Let's get what we
have to the lab.
Call them and tell them
that I'm on my way.
OK.
Oliver!
- Any luck?
- No.
Hop in.
Where are you going?
Out on 29, where
Jeshen was attacked.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
Come on, we gotta go.
Oh, I don't know.
Hop in, will you?
Just got to stop
by the house real quick.
I really want to keep
looking for Oliver.
It won't take very long.
Maybe Oliver's there anyway.
DOCTOR: Jeshen!
Jeshen!
Stay with us.
Stay with us, Jeshen.
I feel so damn hopeless.
I wish Francis were here.
She knows more about
this than anyone.
She raised the puppy.
Yeah, that didn't
work out so great.
You know, if the dog man
is out there,
we have a good chance
of ending this whole thing
once and for all.
Well, I wish there
was another way.
Can't we tranquilize
it or something?
Really?
Then what?
Let's just head out
there and see what's up.
We have to do something.
Remember Francis's journal?
Her family scrapbook.
Yeah.
Yeah, I have it at the house.
Did it talk about
any other anecdotes?
No, no.
Last entry was 1927.
Only spoke of the moss.
I'm really sorry
to hear about Dorothy.
Yeah.
Hey Hank, what's
up with this bag?
Just in case.
Seriously?
Did you see that?
Was that the dog man driving?
Follow him!
Oh, gas it, Hank.
Maybe it just looked
like a dog man.
It was him.
Figures he can drive.
Back when all this started, he
kept stealing my snowmobile.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Let me go first.
No way.
You're not a cop anymore.
Let's stick together.
Hank.
Hold on.
He's hurt.
Whoa, he's been shot.
Careful, Meg
I think he recognizes me.
Oh, my God!
It's Oliver.
He's gone.
I wanted him dead.
We all wanted him dead.
I feel kind of bad
about that now.
How did Oliver get here, anyway?
I don't know.
And I don't care.
Step back.
Get away from the vehicle.
What's going on?
Is this your car?
Yeah.
It's at the old Murphy
house down the road.
And this rat bastard jacked it.
Did you shoot him?
No.
I was supposed to,
but never had the chance.
Looks like an old wound.
Still had enough fight in him
to attack Jeshen and the girl.
Yeah.
Why would he do that?
Oh, this is Oliver.
He went missing.
I saw him at the old
farmhouse down the road.
He was sleeping and wrapped
up in a bunch of blankets.
You guys, he was just
trying to protect Oliver.
Do you think the dog man thought
Oliver was one of his kind?
I guess so.
I can see it.
This place sucks.
Shut up.
You drugged me.
What an ass!
What an ass!
Hey, thanks for waiting.
They had a little
trouble discharging him.
Imagine that.
Oh, hello, Wallace.
I hope I never see you again.
I was just thinking
the same thing.
HANK: Hey, Oliver.
Let's get him
wherever he needs to go.
The sooner, the better.
[GRUNT]
[BARKS]
Nice work, buddy.
WALLACE: I hate dogs.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) Seems these days
you've been unkind to of me
If I were you, I'd tread
a little more carefully
May I remind you there's
a minefield below your feet
And I hold the detonator
Do yourself a favor and be sweet
Said we're living
in this house of cards
Only take a stiff wind
to bring this all down, baby
Here's a little something,
shouldn't have to explain
I'm just a levee
holding back the truth
Well, the truth, yes, the truth
You see, the truth
would be a hurricane
No need to panic,
no need to be alone
But you promised you
would never hurt me
When I was laying in your arms
Now this little meeting really
seems to have lost its charm
Well, you're
fantastically sarcastic
Finding little ways to do me
harm Woo!

[ELECTRICITY CACKLES]
[SCREAMS]
[GROANS]
Oh, yeah.
[LAUGHS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Oh.
Hi, Nick.
Hey, Rita.
I got your order.
Great.
One shot decaf caramel latte.
With a smidge of cinnamon?
I didn't forget.
Thank you.
What are you up to today
with your fancy drink?
Oh, you know me.
I'm up to no good.
Don't get caught.
I'll try my best.
Have a good one.
What's going on?
Had some trouble
here last night.
Sheesh.
I guess so.
What the hell happened?
Hey, don't touch that!
Crap.
You know something about this.
Kind recognize that fur.
What are you talking about?
Much years ago, I had
some trouble like this.
Trouble like this?
No, no, it can't be.
It must be some
other explanation.
This guy got attacked by some
kind of animal or something.
How's he doing?
He's at the hospital now.
Got pretty messed up.
You know, there's no regular
animal around here big enough
to do this sort of thing.
Except one.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
Hey, Jeshen.
Thanks for coming by.
Long time no see.
Have a seat.
Haven't seen you since
high school, right?
Yeah, I know.
I took off, moved to Lansing.
So, Sheriff's deputy, huh?
I know.
La-di-da.
Who would have thought?
So were you a cop in Lansing?
I was, eventually.
When this job opened up,
I decided to move back.
So, what's up?
Your uncle Hank
told me to call you.
Uncle Hank?
Why?
What happened?
Did you hear about this?
Oh, my God.
Last night, behind the bar.
What happened?
We're still not sure.
He actually survived.
Hank told me you might
know something about this.
I lost my best friend
from an attack like this.
You remember Sam Reynolds?
I remember Sam.
Sam died?
He did.
And Uncle Hank got attacked too.
That was, [SIGHS] 14 years ago.
He seems OK now.
He is.
They found an antidote for him.
An antidote?
For what?
Well, it turns out you get
this virus if the dog man gouged
you, like a bad cat scratch.
That's what killed poor Sam.
Did you just say dog man?
What the hell is that?
It's what it sounds like.
Like dog man?
You're messing with me.
Dogman?
It's like some
kind of mutant that
gets really pissed sometimes.
I didn't know there
were any more around.
So your uncle Hank survived
because he got the antidote?
He did.
They discovered a wild moss that
neutralized the virus somehow.
He was lucky.
This is unbelievable.
Yeah, I studied this
stuff for a bit in college.
I had to find out what I could.
So dog man, huh?
Half dog, half...
Afraid so.
So why did he attack this guy?
Check this out.
These reports are
from seven years ago.
There have been reports
of large dogs standing upright.
And it goes on.
Case number 4863, 64, 65, 66.
This one says it chased
somebody down an alleyway.
And then there's a bunch more
from seven years before that.
That's the thing.
Every seven years.
Here's the coroner's conclusion.
These so-called dogs were
responsible for at least
three human deaths.
And that's it.
That's the end of the report.
Every seven years.
Seven years.
[EERIE MUSIC]
Oh, hey, Hank.
Hey, Lorna.
Oh, Baylife, huh?
I didn't know that you
were interested in...
Anyway, look what I got.
How's he doing?
Well, they wanted
to keep him overnight.
So...
What are you doing?
How old is Oliver, anyway?
I don't know.
I think we got
him six years ago.
Why?
Just wondering.
[MACHINE BEEPS]
How is he?
His vitals are marginal.
He had a lot of trauma.
Well, you should know that there
is an animal out
there that seems
to show up every so often.
And it's a mutant dog,
and it's really big.
You think a big dog did this?
JESHEN: It's... it's a virus.
And it's probably already made
its way into this guy's blood.
He knows what
he's talking about.
It's claw virus stuff
killed one of his friends.
I'm telling you,
this guy is in trouble.
He needs the antidote.
An antidote?
We don't even know what
we're dealing with.
I think my uncle might have
saved some from the last time.
The moss.
Did you say moss?
[PANTS]
LORNA: Hank?
In here.
What are you doing?
Just going through
some old stuff.
Oh.
Oh.
It's still hard
to believe she's gone.
Yeah.
Listen, I didn't
want to scare you,
but there's a chance
that dog man's back.
There's been an attack.
Oh, no.
Yeah, a guy got pretty beat up.
He's in the hospital.
I thought we got rid of them.
Me too.
Maybe it's something else.
Where'd this happen?
Downtown.
There's got to be
another explanation.
Yeah, maybe.
Here.
Thanks.
Oh, excellent.
LORNA: You actually did it.
- I sure did.
I got a deal, too.
50 bucks.
That's weird.
What?
HANK: 42% terrier.
58% inconclusive.
Inconclusive?
Maybe that's why you
got such a great deal.
Excuse me.
I know you.
Aren't you the guy that got...
Got what?
You know, attacked
by that dog man.
I guess I'm just not
much of a dog person.
I visited you in the hospital.
You were pretty beat up.
Can I buy you
a coffee or something?
No, I'm very busy.
Just a couple minutes, please.
Well, since you're a fan.
I'm Hank.
Wallace.
All this from the attack?
Yeah, it was
a pretty shitty day.
And I did visit
you in the hospital.
No one thought you'd make it.
I didn't.
What?
I lost my job, I lost my arm,
I lost my eye, I can't sleep,
I can't drive,
my girlfriend dumped me.
Although to be fair,
she was probably
going to do that anyway.
I don't remember you.
Oh.
You were pretty out of it.
Kind of creepy.
Why were you visiting me?
I was just trying
to help if I could.
That was seven years ago.
A bunch of people got hurt.
Some died.
Same thing happened
seven years before that.
Yeah, I was there, too.
The son of a bitch jumped me
while I was riding my bike.
That was you?
[LAUGHS] Busted
my leg up pretty good.
I knocked his tooth out with
my water bottle, though.
So I guess we're even.
I didn't know what that
thing really was at the time.
Turns out it was the dog man.
Who would have thought?
My nephew's friend, he
died from gashes like yours.
It carried something
bad, got into his blood.
Well, it didn't kill me.
You must have had
the moss treatment.
That's that's what I had.
It attacked you, too?
Yeah.
If it hadn't been for that moss,
I'd have been dead as well.
I didn't hear anything
about this moss.
Sounds stupid.
It saved my life.
Well, I should be going.
Oh, just so you
know, they're back.
A guy got attacked behind
the bar right over there.
I found some of the dog man fur.
I know what it looks like.
Right Here in town, huh?
That's weird.
Yeah.
So he actually survived?
Yeah, I saw him
at the coffee shop.
I barely recognized him.
It has been seven years.
Doesn't seem that long.
Really messed up.
Lost an arm and an eye.
He's in tough shape.
Oh, that's awful.
Yeah.
Believe it or not, I didn't
realize that he's the same guy
that got nailed 14 years ago.
Sorry bastard.
Must have a target on his back.
Wow, twice.
I know, right?
Both times got
gashed up real bad.
Still made it.
The moss.
Had to be.
I visited him in the hospital
back then both times.
It's funny because he
was so bandaged up,
I didn't realize that
it was the same guy.
I don't remember any
moss either time,
but maybe I just missed it.
Well, it certainly
worked for you.
Yeah, it did.
Thanks to Frances.
She discovered it.
You know, Dorothy was
really worried about you.
Dorothy.
Rest her soul.
Yeah.
I sure miss her.
Yeah.
I miss having a sister.
It still breaks my heart.
You know, I thought
we were done with it.
But with what happened
the other night...
Do you think he's
going to be OK?
I don't know.
Do you really
think they're back?
Hi.
How can I help?
I was wondering
if you could give me
some information
about a friend of mine
who was treated
here a while back.
Sorry.
All our records
are confidential.
Oh, I know.
But he's a friend.
Only doctors can
access information here.
Even then, with
the patient permission.
I just need to know
one little thing.
Kind of important.
Like I said, it's confidential.
I just need to know
something about how
a patient was treated seven
years ago from a dog attack.
Sir, if your friend
comes in, then
we can release the records.
Otherwise, there's
nothing I can...
Hank?
Hank Purvis.
Meg.
What are you doing here?
Well, I pretty much been
here since I last saw you.
You're looking fit.
Oh, thanks.
This is because I've
been eating nothing
but vegan crap
since Dorothy died.
Wow.
I'm so sorry to hear
about Dorothy.
I just heard rumors.
Do you mind if I ask
what actually happened?
Well, the last time
we were out on 29...
Yeah.
Dorothy took my shotgun
into the woods.
I wasn't there,
but I heard about it.
By herself?
Yeah, she followed
after the dog man.
It had just killed someone.
She figured she'd
put an end to it.
And she did, too.
I don't know what got
into her, but she got scared
and dropped my shotgun
on the way out.
But she was fine, right?
Yeah, yeah.
She was.
But a couple weeks later,
she decided to surprise
me and go back and get it.
Alone?
Yep, alone.
She knew it was special to me.
And she felt bad
for leaving it out there.
Oh, my God.
She didn't have a chance.
There's a dog man
still out there.
That's awful.
I'm so sorry.
Bless her heart.
I wasn't even going
to go back and get it.
At least not that soon.
I would have stopped her
if I knew what she was up to.
Well, anyway, they're back.
It's been seven years.
There's been an attack
a couple nights ago.
I thought we were done with it.
Me too.
Guy's upstairs in ICU.
Is he going to be OK?
Hard to tell.
That's why I'm here.
The records room?
Do you remember the guy that got
attacked out on 29 by his car?
A really, really messed up.
No one thought he'd
make it, but he did.
I remember.
Well, I just saw him.
No kidding.
Yeah.
And as it turns out,
he's the same guy
that got attacked by the
dog man, the guy, when you
were a deputy, on his bike.
Oh, my God.
How could I forget?
It was you and I and...
BOTH: Francis.
It was like...
14 years ago.
Well, I'm glad he's OK.
He's not really OK.
So how can I help?
Well, I need to find out if
he was treated with the moss.
He didn't know
anything about it.
I'm sure he was.
I just need to know for sure.
So why do you care now?
The guy upstairs is
in serious trouble.
So I need to know
how he was treated,
the moss or something else.
This is crazy.
Yeah.
I kept some of my moss
in the freezer just in case.
Seemed like a good idea.
It saved my life.
You got to get that
moss to the hospital
right away just in case.
I did.
I already did.
It's not working.
OK.
This could take a while.
I'm going to need some
kind of authorization.
I could try to bring him in.
He really has to.
What if I have him call?
He has to come in.
We could start the paperwork.
What's his name?
Wallace.
Last name?
How many Wallaces can there be?
OK.
It was seven years ago.
It was in the fall.
September.
I never pictured you as a vegan.
Tell me about it.
Been hanging out with
Dorothy's sister.
Lorna?
Lorna, Lorna.
OK.
Lorna with the golf club?
I know.
She's a lot nicer now.

Hello?
Sheriff's Department.
Hello?
Hello?
Ma'am, are you OK?
Here, here.
Sit down.
Have a seat.
It's OK.
Please, can you tell
me what happened?
It's some kind of wolf or dog.
Huge.
It came out
of the woods over there.
It was standing
on its hind legs.
It ran toward me.
I didn't know what to do.
I screamed.
And it turned
and went off that way.
Ma'am, I'm going to call
you an ambulance, OK?
Well, screw that.
You go find it.
Ma'am, I don't know about that.
I'm just here to make
sure you're OK.
All right?
It was bleeding right here.
Go!
Hello?
WALLACE (ON PHONE):
I've got something
you might want to see.
- I'm sorry.
Who is this?
WALLACE (ON PHONE): Wallace.
We met at the coffee shop.
- Oh, yeah.
Wallace.
What's going on?
WALLACE (ON PHONE):
You were right.
About what?
WALLACE (ON PHONE):
They're back.
What makes you say that?
WALLACE (ON PHONE):
Meet me at the park.
OK.
Hey, listen, I
wanted to... hello?
Hello, Wallace?
Since you're nosing around
looking for the dog man,
I thought you might
want to see this.
My cousin set up a camera
behind her house.
Bears getting
into her bird feeder.
And?
You're the dog catcher.
Take a guess.
You got a shot of the dog man?
It's a video.
For real?
[LAUGHS] It's real.
Where did she live?
Out on 29.
Scared it off with
a shot from her 30-30.
Ran off in the woods.
You'll see.
Oh, wait.
We're on 29.
About five or six
miles, I guess.
Near the old Murphy house?
That place always
creeped me out.
When did this happen?
Last week.
You're welcome.
HANK: Lorna?
Hello?
Lorna?
Damn.
[DIALING]
[PHONE RINGS]
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Hello.
Hi, Francis?
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Yes.
Who's this?
It's Hank.
Hank Purvis from Michigan.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
Hank Purvis.
What a nice surprise.
How are you doing?
I'm fine.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
Great to hear from you.
It's been a while.
Yeah, 7 years.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Oh, no.
The dog man.
Pretty sure.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): [SIGHS]
I thought they were all gone.
Me too.
There's been an attack.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Oh, my God.
I know you moved away.
Where are you now?
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
British Columbia.
I came here about
five years ago.
No kidding.
That's like 2000
miles from here.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
I had to get away,
far away, after what happened.
I can understand that.
I was just hoping, well, since
you had some kind of
connection with...
Well...
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): I put
that whole thing behind me.
It was just way too painful.
It was awful.
I know it was.
I hope it's OK that I called.
I just need to talk
to someone who gets it.
I need some advice.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Hank, I've
been having dreams lately.
Dreams?
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): I
see a green, dark forest.
It's always the same.
Dorothy was there.
She's standing alone.
Francis, Dorothy passed.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): What?
Oh, no.
I'm so sorry.
Still can't believe it myself.
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
What can I do?
Is there any way you could
come back, just at least
for a little while?
FRANCIS (ON PHONE): Oh,
Hank, the authorities
need to handle it now.
We were in way over our head.
Maybe, but...
FRANCIS (ON PHONE):
This is dangerous stuff.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
They're like
a chrysalis, a cocoon.
Somehow, it's their time again.
Lorna.
Hey, Hank.
Jeesh!
Lorna, I didn't
hear you come in.
What are you doing?
Look at this.
Oh, yeah, I
remember that picture.
I bet you do.
You smashed the frame.
Yeah, well, I was kind
of going through a rough patch.
Seven years ago.
Oh, there he is.
Did you call the cops?
They know about it.
I've had it this long.
Might as well keep it.
This is a little unusual.
And I'm just trying
to figure it out.
Yeah, I see what you're saying.
I can definitely search.
Hi.
Sorry to interrupt.
Meg, you got a minute?
Sure.
Yeah.
I called Francis.
She's awesome.
You spoke with her?
Yeah, yeah.
She lives in British
Columbia now.
Did you tell her
what's going on?
I did.
What'd she say?
She said we should
let the cops handle it.
She's right.
Cops don't know what
they're dealing with.
You want to go through
with all that again?
I don't have a choice.
You don't have a choice.
Me?
I have a job.
I can't just take off with
you guys like last time.
Did you get my text?
I sent it this morning.
Oh, crap.
I had my ringer off.
Did you find something?
I did.
I just kind of asked around.
And?
About your friend Wallace,
turns out they didn't use moss.
He was badly injured.
But as for the virus, he
apparently never got it.
Wow.
Wait, if he didn't
get the moss, then...
Well, I'll try
to get some time off.
[EERIE MUSIC]
Hey, Wallace.
We need to talk.
Your text said
you'd buy me lunch.
Yeah, yeah, I will.
But listen, the video
you gave me proves
that the dog man is back.
I figured you'd want
to know, dog detective.
The guy that got attacked,
last antidote isn't working.
He's really sick.
That's too bad.
But I'm not a veterinarian.
Look, you got nailed
twice by that damn thing,
and you never got the virus.
And you never had
the moss antidote.
So?
So... so there's something
in your gizzard that kept
you from getting infected.
Well, I am just
a poster boy for luck.
No, no, no, no.
They want to bring you
in, run some tests,
see if there's
something to this.
I'll pass.
No, no, man.
You don't have a choice.
You're coming with me.
What about my lunch?
What the hell's going on?
If it turns out
to be true that you
got something going on that
neutralizes the virus,
it's beyond me.
This is a kidnapping.
WALLACE: Shut
the hell up, Wallace!
Hey, Joney.
That's Wallace.
He's your guy.
Hey, Wallace.
Thanks for coming over.
I didn't come over.
I was abducted.
That's over.
No, no, no.
No shots.
This won't hurt a bit.
- I'm afraid of needles.
- Just give me your arms.
You son of a bitch.
Sit still!
You're lucky I only
have one arm, tough guy.
I swear to God.
I am so sick of your shit.
[SCREAMS]
Hey, dummy.
It's just an alcohol swab.
Well, it burns!
Oh, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
[GROANS]
- All set.
- Oh.
Hey, what?
Thanks a ton.
I'll get this right in.
You're such a sweetheart.
WALLACE: Hey, that's my blood.
I want it back.
Would you, for the love
of God, shut the hell up?
Call the cops!
He was stable five minutes ago.
He's at 210 over 130.
His heart rate is 145.
Give him more sedative.
He can't take many
more of those.
Meg, hi!
Oh, it's so good to see you.
You too.
I'll call you later
so we can catch up.
We're kind of busy right now.
Yeah, sure.
That'd be great.
Who's that?
That's Wallace.
Who are you?
It's you.
Oh, my God.
It's him, all right.
That was awful.
No, all this
happened a second time.
He got nailed twice.
Poor bastard.
Dogman did that to you?
Yep.
Wait, why is he with you guys?
Hang on, Francis.
Kidnapped.
Hello?
Just a second.
It's Lorna, some
kind of emergency.
Will you put it on speaker?
Yeah.
Hey, Francis.
We'll call you back later, OK?
Bye.
Hey, Lorna.
What's going on?
LORNA (ON PHONE):
Hank, why don't you
answer your own phone?
I'm driving.
I have my ringer off.
LORNA (ON PHONE): You
got to get here quick.
Oliver's gone.
Where are you?
LORNA (ON PHONE): At the house.
Hurry!
Well, he's got to be
around someplace.
Don't panic.
LORNA (ON PHONE):
I had him tied up
while I was in the backyard.
And now he's gone.
Stay put.
I'll be right there.
LORNA (ON PHONE): Hurry!
Oh, come on.
Get me out of here.
What happened?
It came out
of nowhere and jumped me
and ran off when you drove up.
What the hell was it?
[GROANS] My back.
Oliver!
Oliver!
Come here, boy.
You haven't found him?
No, and I've looked everywhere.
- Oh, Meg.
- It's good to see you.
It's been awhile.
Yeah, we'll catch up later.
We gotta find Oliver.
- Where did you last see him?
- Right here.
He was tied up.
Has this happened before?
No, we've done this 100 times.
Help!
Help me!
Who is that?
That's Wallace,
the guy I told you about.
Kind of a dick.
The guy who didn't
get the virus?
Yep, we just came
from the hospital.
They're testing his blood.
Do you have a picture of him?
WALLACE: Nobody's helping me.
That's your dog?
LORNA: Yes, Oliver.
Why?
Still not being helped!
Shut up, Wallace.
[SCREAMS] No.
That was the son
of a bitch that jumped me.
That thing could have killed us.
Why didn't it?
Did you notice he was
bleeding, from his chest?
He was?
Oh, shit.
I found something.
That we'd be
doing this ever again.
Me either.
You were the one
that saved Hank.
Yeah, I trusted 9 iron.
You're welcome.
It sure seemed
like the end of it.
Yeah, it did.
I just saw a video of it.
Wallace gave it to me.
What?
My cousin Lulu.
Her backyard camera deal.
It was definitely the dog man.
She was all freaked out.
You actually saw
a video of the dog man?
I did, yeah.
Taken last week.
Lulu looks like you.
Like me?
She shot at it.
Scared it off.
Hang on, Hank.
Looks like me?
She's blonde.
I suppose it's
looking for me, because
of what I did to its mom.
All right, stop.
That was seven years ago.
Maybe it watched what
happened that night,
saw what you did.
Can we just find Oliver?
You're scaring me.
You should be scared.
Hello?
That's right.
Are you sure?
Right now?
OK, thanks.
We need to get him
to the hospital right away.
Wait, who?
Me?
Oh, no.
Not again.
Oh, no.
Nope.
- Look, dipshit...
- Hank.
No.
There's a guy in there that
got nailed by the dog man.
He's going to die if we
don't find the antidote.
Now somehow, you got something
in your blood that they need.
You have to help.
This is the stupidest thing.
[GROANS]
What?
Stay back.
HANK: Come on now.
WALLACE: Stay back.
HANK: Hey!
Don't do that.
[GROANS]
LORNA: Hank!
HANK: What the hell, man?
[GROWLS]
Easy.
Easy, guy.
Get your ass inside.
Is he going to be all right?
We had to give him
a pretty strong sedative.
He wasn't cooperating.
What's next?
We need to harvest
enough of his blood
to verify this antidote idea.
You actually found something?
It's not 100% for sure, but yes.
Hank, we should keep
looking for Oliver.
Yeah.
Of course.
Let's go back to the house.
Maybe he went home.
OK.
Wait.
Jeshen, what's going on?
What happened?
She was out riding her bike.
We got attacked.
- Oh, God.
- Where did it happen?
Out on 29.
Come on, let's go.
Damn it!
Oh, my God.
She is unstable.
These injuries look
just like the ones
we saw a couple of days ago.
I know.
He is still in the ICU.
Doctor, Jeshen called.
What's going on?
He's stable.
The woman that came in at the
same time, she started seizing.
That's the first sign.
I just heard you have
patients with lacerations
from an animal.
Two, actually.
One of them started
to have seizures.
There's a patient in the ICU
with the same thing.
That's three so far.
They don't have much time.
She's right.
What about that blood sample?
We found an anomaly.
The man in the ICU that
got attacked downtown.
Yes?
He didn't make it.
Hey, what's going on?
No, no, no, it
doesn't concern you.
Well, that's what I've
been telling everyone.
None of this concerns me.
No.
Tell me how all this
happened to you?
It doesn't matter.
It does matter.
I've got to know what
I'm dealing with.
Well, it all started years ago.
I was riding my bike.
And this dark shape burst
out of the treeline.
Terrifying.
I've never seen
anything like it.
It's huge.
Knocked me down, broke my leg,
gave me some deep gashes
and ran off.
Now, it took a while, but I
recovered from that one.
Then a few years ago,
it happened again.
My car broke down on 29,
flat tire, no spare.
He got me in the open.
Nowhere to run.
That's when all this happened.
Arm, my eye.
Almost killed me.
I don't know why it didn't.
Yeah, it's horrible.
This happened 14 years ago.
I was there.
All this happened
seven years ago.
Back then, the only
way to treat the virus
was by applying
a poultice of wild moss.
For real.
He never got any
moss, and he survived.
Because they didn't
know what else to do.
They just used moss
on the man in the ICU.
I don't know where they got it.
I brought it in.
Well, it didn't help.
He didn't make it.
Apparently, the moss
isn't working anymore.
Jeshen is here in the hospital.
And he needs
an antidote now and...
Listen, there's
something in your blood
that might hold the key.
Well, I'm not a lab rat.
Hank.
Stay.
No, no shots.
Not this shot.
Call the blood bank.
Hi.
Hello.
Family?
No, but I know who he is.
How's it going?
Fine.
I work in records.
There's been a lot of questions
about this guy's history.
Just thought I'd stop by.
He fell asleep?
Sedated.
What's this about, anyway?
They didn't tell you?
Just that we're
harvesting a few cells.
We do that all the time.
Who are you?
I work in records now, but I
was a Sheriff's deputy back
when this guy got injured.
I know all about it.
[GROANS]
Oh, no.
What the hell's going on?
What the hell?
Get me out of here!
Hold still.
Get me out of here!
[GRUNTS]
Give him the shot!
No, not the shot!
Call the ER and tell
them what happened.
Can we get it running again?
Hey, Jeshen.
Hey, Uncle Hank.
How are you feeling?
Not so good.
I had some kind
of reaction last night.
HANK: What do you mean?
Kind of like a seizure, I guess.
They gave me
something, and I don't
remember anything after that.
We're going to get through this.
The moss doesn't
work anymore, does it?
No.
No, it doesn't.
But they have some new ideas.
Who does?
The hospital.
It has a lab.
I took a couple classes
in college on this stuff.
Research takes years.
Yeah, but still.
Sam had a gash like mine.
Don't.
That was a long time ago.
I heard the girl I brought
in isn't doing very well.
Yeah.
Well, she didn't make it.
I saw it.
I saw the dog man.
He's at the old Murphy
house on Highway 29.
MAN (ON PHONE): Can
you repeat that?
I said I saw the dog man.
He's at the old Murphy
house on Highway 29.
MAN (ON PHONE): 10-4, stand by.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON PHONE):
This is Chief Daniels.
Where are you?
I'm on my way back to base, sir.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON PHONE): Did
you say you spotted the dog man?
Yes, he's at the old
Murphy house on Highway 29.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON PHONE):
Get your ass back there now.
That's an order.
He's probably gone by now, sir.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON
PHONE): Turn around!
All right, chief.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON
PHONE): Shoot to kill.
10-4.
CHIEF DANIELS (ON PHONE):
59, this is Chief Daniels.
Over.
Just a heads up.
I should have said it before.
Be very, very, very careful.
59 over.
59?
I get it.
I wouldn't respond either.
Out.
[SIREN WAILING]
We can't let this happen again.
Be ready if he comes to.
Good.
Hopefully, he's got plenty
of those cells left.
Hello?
Yeah, of course.
I'll be right there.
Bye.
Good luck.
Son of a bitch.
Hey, thanks for stopping by.
Jeshen was asking for you.
Hey, Jeshen.
How you doing?
I need to ask you something.
Of course.
The first time this happened
when Sam was attacked...
That was awful.
You were a deputy then.
What was the official report?
That you and Sam were in the
woods by the Garland swamp,
I think.
That Sam had been
attacked by a...
I think we called it
a large feral dog.
Did you ever use the word
dog man in the report?
No, I don't think so.
Why not?
I guess we all hope
that was the end of it.
I guess I was afraid that if I
said anything about dog man...
If you would have
called it what it was,
this whole thing might
have ended right then.
I mean, maybe the police
could have gotten involved.
What are you doing?
Hey, he doesn't know
what he's saying.
- Maybe he's right.
- Don't.
Stop it.
I don't blame you.
Probably nobody would
have believed it anyways.
How is he doing?
We need to get out there
right now and deal with this.
This has to end.
We might have enough
to get this started.
Let's get what we
have to the lab.
Call them and tell them
that I'm on my way.
OK.
Oliver!
- Any luck?
- No.
Hop in.
Where are you going?
Out on 29, where
Jeshen was attacked.
I don't think
that's a good idea.
Come on, we gotta go.
Oh, I don't know.
Hop in, will you?
Just got to stop
by the house real quick.
I really want to keep
looking for Oliver.
It won't take very long.
Maybe Oliver's there anyway.
DOCTOR: Jeshen!
Jeshen!
Stay with us.
Stay with us, Jeshen.
I feel so damn hopeless.
I wish Francis were here.
She knows more about
this than anyone.
She raised the puppy.
Yeah, that didn't
work out so great.
You know, if the dog man
is out there,
we have a good chance
of ending this whole thing
once and for all.
Well, I wish there
was another way.
Can't we tranquilize
it or something?
Really?
Then what?
Let's just head out
there and see what's up.
We have to do something.
Remember Francis's journal?
Her family scrapbook.
Yeah.
Yeah, I have it at the house.
Did it talk about
any other anecdotes?
No, no.
Last entry was 1927.
Only spoke of the moss.
I'm really sorry
to hear about Dorothy.
Yeah.
Hey Hank, what's
up with this bag?
Just in case.
Seriously?
Did you see that?
Was that the dog man driving?
Follow him!
Oh, gas it, Hank.
Maybe it just looked
like a dog man.
It was him.
Figures he can drive.
Back when all this started, he
kept stealing my snowmobile.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Let me go first.
No way.
You're not a cop anymore.
Let's stick together.
Hank.
Hold on.
He's hurt.
Whoa, he's been shot.
Careful, Meg
I think he recognizes me.
Oh, my God!
It's Oliver.
He's gone.
I wanted him dead.
We all wanted him dead.
I feel kind of bad
about that now.
How did Oliver get here, anyway?
I don't know.
And I don't care.
Step back.
Get away from the vehicle.
What's going on?
Is this your car?
Yeah.
It's at the old Murphy
house down the road.
And this rat bastard jacked it.
Did you shoot him?
No.
I was supposed to,
but never had the chance.
Looks like an old wound.
Still had enough fight in him
to attack Jeshen and the girl.
Yeah.
Why would he do that?
Oh, this is Oliver.
He went missing.
I saw him at the old
farmhouse down the road.
He was sleeping and wrapped
up in a bunch of blankets.
You guys, he was just
trying to protect Oliver.
Do you think the dog man thought
Oliver was one of his kind?
I guess so.
I can see it.
This place sucks.
Shut up.
You drugged me.
What an ass!
What an ass!
Hey, thanks for waiting.
They had a little
trouble discharging him.
Imagine that.
Oh, hello, Wallace.
I hope I never see you again.
I was just thinking
the same thing.
HANK: Hey, Oliver.
Let's get him
wherever he needs to go.
The sooner, the better.
[GRUNT]
[BARKS]
Nice work, buddy.
WALLACE: I hate dogs.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
(SINGING) Seems these days
you've been unkind to of me
If I were you, I'd tread
a little more carefully
May I remind you there's
a minefield below your feet
And I hold the detonator
Do yourself a favor and be sweet
Said we're living
in this house of cards
Only take a stiff wind
to bring this all down, baby
Here's a little something,
shouldn't have to explain
I'm just a levee
holding back the truth
Well, the truth, yes, the truth
You see, the truth
would be a hurricane
No need to panic,
no need to be alone
But you promised you
would never hurt me
When I was laying in your arms
Now this little meeting really
seems to have lost its charm
Well, you're
fantastically sarcastic
Finding little ways to do me
harm Woo!
