[Insects chirping]
[Clattering]
-[Screaming]
-Turn that light off!
Now!
-Okay, okay, okay.
-Get back there!
-No.
-Get back there now!
-No!
-[Screaming]
-I'm gonna count to three.
One. Two. Three!
-No!
-Get back here now!
-I'm not going back there!!
[Suspenseful music playing]
[Cups clanging]
[Clicking]
[Metal bowls clanging]
[Creaking]
[Gasping]
Ah, shit.
[Rattling]
[Winces]
[Breathing shakily]
[Breathing heavily]
[Panting]
[Door rattles]
[Cries]
[Panting]
Hello?
[Breathing heavily]
What the hell?
[Wind whistling]
[Grunts]
[Panting]
[Water running]
[Rattling]
Help!!
Somebody help me!!
[Wind whistling]
[Panting]
What the fuck is going on?!
-Come on now.
[Beads rattling]
-Who are you?
-I am the owner-proprietor
of this mobile home and truck
that's pulling you
down the highway.
I know the bank's about
three weeks from Indian giving
on that exchange.
-Why am I inside of it?
-Well, well, Miss Smarty Pants.
You've been infected.
-Infected?
What did you infect me with?
-Oh, no.
No, I didn't infect you
with anything.
Listen, I found you
at your campsite.
I hauled your heavy butt
back to my home,
and I bandaged up your wounds.
You're welcome.
-Where are you?
-Up here.
-What is this?
-You don't remember?
-[Breathing heavily]
[Door creaking]
[Cups clanking softly]
Fuck off.
-We got less than an hour
to get you to the doctor.
If that.
-Yeah. Or what?
-Listen to me.
It's important
that you stay calm.
Look, I'm a good man.
An honest man.
-Look, this hasn't gone
too far yet.
Okay? Just pull over.
Let me out.
Actually...
thank you.
Thank you for helping me.
Now, if you could please
just pull over and let me out!
[Sobbing]
-Listen to me.
It's imperative we keep
your heart rate down.
-What's happening to me?!
-It's making its way
through your system right --
Listen to me! Breathe!
-[Groans]
-It's the infection taking
hold.
-It's not an infection.
-It's the microbacteria
moving through your system.
-It's not an infection!
I'm pregnant!
[Groaning]
I'm pregnant.
Please let me go.
I need to see a doctor.
Please, just let me go.
-No can do.
[Static]
[Connection ends]
-[Retching, coughing]
You did something to me.
You drugged me
or you poisoned me.
-I did not.
And I ain't gonna
be telling you that all night.
-Where's my phone?
-Your phone's up here with me.
The rest of your stuff's back
at the table.
I only grabbed what I could fit
on my person.
Your tent and whatnot,
that didn't make the trip.
You're a lot heavier
than you look.
-Any information
on any of the women
should be reported to HD.
-W2TK, the Rock,
Knoxville's home
of classic rock.
-Knoxville? Why are we picking
up a signal in Knoxville?
-That station reaches halfway
to Memphis on a clear day.
-Why'd you take my phone?
-Whether you want to believe
it or not,
the number-one rule is
that we can't bring
anyone else into this.
Look, I ain't out here
to cause some dadgum outbreak.
You saw what happened
with that China virus.
-I need you to let
me go right now!
-Look, I need you to relax.
Right? I'm handling it.
-Okay. Aah!
[Electricity crackling]
[Yelling]
-Come on now.
You got to keep your heart rate
down.
-[Yelling continues]
Let me out!
-Stop! I'll make the call!
-What did you say?
-If you stop,
I'll call someone for you.
But you have to calm down.
-I want to call my mo--
I want to call my friend Diane.
[Electronic music playing]
-Lena!
You look rough, boo-boo.
Mm.
-Not Diane.
-Listen to me.
It's important
that you stay calm.
This infection, it moves
through your vena cava.
It's the main vein
going to your arm.
Do you see it?
-Holy shit!
What the hell?
-Once that stuff
gets in your system,
it gets the bodily functions
operating overtime.
All that extra work is gonna
spike your blood sugar,
and you're gonna want to eat.
And you're probably
gonna end up in the toilet
more than you want.
Might get a little...farty.
But once that stuff makes it
to your heart,
I ain't equipped for that.
Well, I am, but
you won't like the equipment.
-It's fine. I'm -- I'm calm.
Just make the call.
-[Line ringing]
-Wait. Who are you calling?
-I'm assuming Daddy Longlegs
ain't your pop's
Christian name.
-Can you -- Can you just call
someone else, please?
-Why? You don't want your
daddy to know where you're at?
Really?
-Come on, Lena.
-We've never talked about it.
-She was my world, too.
-It's Stuart,
but I doubt he'll pick up.
[Line ringing]
-What's your name?
-Lena.
-Alright, Lena.
My name's Clive.
-...recording.
You may hang up
or press one for more options.
-Hi, Stuart.
Uh, my name's Clive.
You don't know me.
I'm an acquaintance of Lena,
and, uh, she got in
a little scuttle with a dog,
and we're on her way
to Sacred Heart Hospital.
I don't want you to worry.
We're gonna see
Dr. Janikowski.
She's gonna be just fine.
-Dad! Help!
A hillbilly kidnapped me!
I'm stuck in the back
of his trailer!
-That wasn't very nice.
-Please just call
someone else.
He never checks his voicemails.
Please.
-I can make an exception
for your mom.
Will she be awake?
-No.
-Should I text her?
-No. She's gone.
-That don't mean
she won't have her phone...
-She's dead.
[Camper rattling]
-My wife, Rebecca.
She's been gone five years...
yesterday.
Cancer.
-Fuck cancer.
-You said it.
How far along are you?
-Two months.
-Waikiki.
That kid drank so many
tiki drinks at the resort bar,
they named one after her --
the Hellcat.
Mai Tai with a little splash
of grenadine.
Best vacation of my life.
The little one,
that's my daughter, Allie.
She don't see eye to eye with
her old man much these days.
Something happened to her
when she took off to college.
Things just...hmm...
changed between us.
She was attacked.
Go on.
Stick that back up there
so it don't get ruined.
-You can see me?
-Don't get bent out of shape.
Look, a few weeks back,
a couple of turds,
they spray-painted something
vile on the side of my --
my home there, but --
Stop! Look.
Turn. By the coffee mugs.
Anyhow, look,
I got a live feed going on
up here
in case those little
punks want to come back
and catch some lead.
I actually think it's
pretty damn cool.
It was the most expensive one
they had.
[Fire crackling]
[Air horn blows]
-Look at Daddy.
-[Giggling]
-Yeah. He's so silly.
He's so silly.
-[Babbling]
[Rattling]
-[Sniffling]
You said we're going to
Sacred Heart, right?
-Yep.
To see a specialist,
Dr. Janikowski.
-I need you to tell
me exactly how I got here.
-I wish I could tell you
what you want to hear.
But I can't.
You're just gonna have to be
alright with that for now.
[Insects chirping]
-[Gasps]
-Get down.
-When I was just a little guy,
I spent the night out in this
tree house my pa built.
He never finished the roof
on the dang thing.
It was perfect for seeing
shooting stars, whatnot.
This one night,
I went up there.
Out of nowhere,
the sky goes black.
Not dark, black.
And I saw all
these little hands
coming up over the edge of it.
And then faces.
They looked like,
well, kind of looked like us,
but different.
That was when I realized
for the first time
that we ain't alone out here.
It's the most profound moment
of my life.
Once that veil gets lifted,
there's no going back.
-Bullshit.
Bullshit.
This is all bullshit.
[Sighs]
-You know,
I must have told that story
a hundred times over the years,
and each time I feel
like I drift further
and further out to sea.
-[Sighs deeply]
[Sighs]
"Celestial Delights."
-I was into creature comics
when I was a kid.
I tried sneaking out
of my reality when I could.
My house wasn't
quite as, uh, fantastic.
And more and more, I opened
to things in the world.
A few years back, I come across
this radio show I liked.
So these guys are
pretty out there, even for me.
Anyhow, she likes politics.
Some of these guys,
they were the closest thing
I had to friends.
Still are, really.
Holly, bless her heart,
she just can't see past it.
So it's just me out here now.
Believe it or not, don't get
too many visitors these days.
-I really messed up
your trailer.
-Yeah, if you could,
uh, go on and stop that now,
I'd be appreciative.
[Electricity crackling]
[Whirring, up-tempo music plays]
Turn that switch before the
smoke machine fires off.
We'll never clear it out.
[Music stops]
My wife and I did a lot of
karaoke when we got this thing.
We should be
touching down soon.
[Connection ends]
-[Breathing heavily]
[Rattling]
Lorazepam.
-What's that now?
What'd you say, Lena?
Lena?!
Do not touch my medications!
-Why do you have this?
-It's not your business!
Do not touch them!
-Oh.
[Moaning]
[Moaning continues]
[Refrigerator door creaks,
closes]
[Fluorescent light tinkling]
-[Whispering]
Is somebody there?
-[Moans]
-[Gasps]
[Moaning continues]
-Everything okay?
-[Normal voice] Yes.
-[Moaning]
[Floorboards creaking]
-[Breathing heavily]
[Gasps]
[Whispering] Are you okay?
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
Okay. Keys.
Are there any keys anywhere?
[Camper rattling]
-[Cabinet door slams]
-[Gasps]
-Careful with those cabinets!
They'll get you.
-[Grunts]
Sorry about that.
-[Screaming]
Please help me.
-Lena?!
-Please, please help me.
[Screams]
-You have to be quiet.
Please. Please.
-You alright?!
-Yes!
It's just my stomach again!
Please, please, please.
-[Screams]
-I'm gonna get you out.
Okay, okay, okay.
Come on, come on, come on.
It's okay, it's okay.
-[Crying]
-I'm gonna get you out, okay?
Shh. Okay?
-He's here.
-It's okay. It's okay.
Okay. I'm gonna get you out.
-Don't you move.
Put your hands against the door.
Don't turn around.
Put your shirt over your head.
-Okay.
-Hurry!
-Okay, okay.
-[Screaming]
-Turn that light off!
-Now!
-Okay, okay, okay!
-Crawl under that table.
Get, get!
-[Screaming]
-You go for that door,
I'll shoot you in the head.
-[Screaming]
No. [Screams]
-[Panting]
-You try anything --
I mean, anything at all --
and I will kill you both!
You understand?!
Do you understand?!
-Yes!
-Are your eyes down?!
-Yes. They're down.
They're closed, they're closed.
-Don't lie to me!
-They're closed!
-Get back!
-[Panting]
-Your turn. Get back there!
-No!
-Get back there now!
-No!
-I'm gonna count to three.
One. Two. Three!
-No!
-Get back there now!
-I'm not going back there!!
-Then you'll listen to nothing!
Stop touching my things!
[Footsteps stomping on stairs]
[Door slams]
-[Panting]
[Engine starts]
[Crying]
[Breathing heavily]
[Camper rattling]
[Panting]
[Metal door clangs]
[Static]
-Nothing's changed.
You gotta stay calm.
I'm gonna get you
to the doctor.
Get you some help.
[Chains rattling]
-[Gasping]
[Camper rattling]
[Gasps]
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes.
Yeah.
-Lena?
I'm coming back.
Enough!
-[Horn honking]
-Oh, my God. Yes.
[Honking continues]
Oh, my God.
-What are you doing?!
-Fuck.
-We're 10 minutes away
from Dr. Janikowski!
-Oh, we aren't anywhere
near Sacred Heart.
You're a liar.
-You can't help
but get in your own way.
If we make it out alive,
you're gonna
have to live with this.
-[Truck door closes]
-[Sighing]
Come on, come on.
[Clapping hands]
Hey, Link!
-How can I help you, Lena?
-Call 911!
[Computer chimes]
-Calling 911.
[Line ringing]
-Yes? Emer-- Emergency.
-Hello?
Hello?!
I've been kidnapped!
I'm stuck in the back
of a trailer!
Hello?!
-Uh--
-Hello!
[Line beeping]
-Fuck. [Panting]
-Get back!
-Hey, Link!
-Mm-hmm.
-Call Diane Mayomi!
-Now calling...Mommy.
[Line ringing]
[Indistinct arguing outside]
-Hey. This is Kathy.
I'm not here right now.
Which means I'm
either with Stuart or Lena,
so you can likely reach me
through them.
Have a nice day.
[Beep]
-Mom?
[Indistinct arguing outside
continues]
Mommy.
I need your help.
-Step back, lady!
-No reason why that outside door
should be locked like that.
-I miss you.
-[Pounding on door]
-Hello? Whoever's in there,
can you hear me?
-I'm here.
He kidnapped me
and he killed another woman.
-I told you, I told you.
-It's none of your business.
Get going!
-Step away from me, mister.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on.
-Shh! Shh!
What's that?
Get the heater! Get it!
-Get on the ground!
-You stay away from me!
-Keep your hands down!
-Sally, step back!
-Get on the ground now!
[Gunshot]
-Sally!
You son of a bitch!
[Gunshot]
-Stupid, stupid.
Stupid!
-[Gurgling]
[Truck door closes]
[Engine starts]
-[Gasps]
[Camper rattling]
[Sniffling, crying]
-You get it now, Lena?
I'm a good man.
An honest man.
A hunter.
I left with a carrot.
Now it's time for the stick.
-[Screaming]
-What's going on back there?
-[Screaming]
-Hold on!
-[Screaming continues]
[Panting]
-Hold on!
Lord, help me.
-[Panting]
-I'm coming!
-[Panting]
[Breathing heavily]
[Door opens]
-Are you alright?
[Mid-tempo music playing]
-[Singing in Japanese]
-Aw, hell.
You okay?
-[Singing in Japanese continues]
-Aah!
-Ah!
[Screaming]
[Breathing heavily]
-[Panting]
-[Groans]
[Insects chirping]
[Sighs] Done screwed
the pooch this time, ol' boy.
[Rock music playing]
-Where are you taking me?
What is all this shit?!
[Music stops]
[Panting]
I went in your bedroom.
I saw everything.
The lorazepam.
My mom took that
when she was sick.
It's a sedative.
You torturing people back there?
[Breathing heavily]
I saw the chains...
and the blood!
[Engine starts]
You didn't call my dad.
That wasn't his voicemail.
I knew that wasn't
his fucking voicemail!
Oh!
Wah! Fuck!
[Panting]
What the fuck is in my veins?!
What is this shit?!
What's gonna happen to me?!
-You bit me.
I'm the only one
that can help you.
The risk I took for you.
-Now what?
You gonna let me go?
We're in the same fucking boat
now, aren't we?!
Oh, no, wait.
We're gonna go visit your little
witch doctor on a family plan.
Where are we going, man?
Lay it on me.
What's next?
What's the plan?!
Where are we going?!
-Going to Golly! World.
-The amusement park?
-Dr. Janikowski.
He's a specialist there.
He's a top research physician
at Stanford.
He lost his license because some
Berkeley nutjobs
didn't like him
testing on animals.
Now he's the lead vet physician
at the ragtag
Stampede dinner show.
He's as legit as they come.
-A fucking veterinarian...
at a dinner show?
At an amusement park?!
Oh!
[Cellphone alarm buzzing]
[Cellphone beeps, alarm stops]
-Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls,
welcome back
to another midnight cast
of "We're Out There."
As always, I'll be guiding you
through the underbelly,
places mainstream media
won't take you to see
the freaks and ghouls,
the vamps and weres,
the extraterrestrial truths
that float above
and lie beneath.
I, Jasper de Vil,
am here to rip the veil
off the whole damn
multi-dimension.
It's a full moon --
the night the true weirdos come
out to feast.
And as we do on the night
of truths,
we're opening the lines right
out of the gate for callers.
We want to hear your stories.
Let us hear about the bump
in the night,
the lights in the sky,
the blood in the water.
And of course, in conjunction
with the full moon,
tell us about who howls
at night.
Looks like we got a caller
from East Tennessee.
Oh, it's our resident
cryptid expert, C.S. Peters.
Tell me, Clive,
where's the boogeyman tonight?
-Yeah.
-[Feedback screeching]
Just a second.
[Screeching stops]
Uh...
-[Panting]
-I-I need your help.
I got a were.
-A werewolf?
Well, well, well.
Let's get into it, shall we?
-She-- She's not one yet.
I saw her get bitten, but,
uh, she's in my trailer now.
-Well, Clive, this type of
thing seems to land squarely
in your realm of expertise, no?
-Well, she bit me, too.
Yeah.
Were infection ain't really
in my wheelhouse, so...
-You said she's
in your trailer?
-Yeah.
Uh, got a '63 Travelcade.
-Hellfire.
I had a feeling
we were gonna get into
some thick stuff tonight.
Hit me with the details,
old pal.
-Well, uh,
I don't have much time.
We're on our way
to Golly! World right now.
-Alright. Alright,
it's clear you read my book.
"The Bite That Drips,"
a little inside baseball.
I'm exactly one "yes" away
from landing
the Dennis Haskins
to narrate the "Bite
the Drips" audiobook.
Mr. Belding of "Saved
By the Bell" fame.
You might know him.
-We don't have time right now,
and, uh, we're a couple of miles
away from, uh,
the main entrance of Golly!
World and, uh, off 449.
And I was just wondering, it is
the ragtag stampede, right?
-Well, yeah.
He's operated nights
at the Stampede for nearly...
You say you've got a were in
your trailer right now, Clive.
-Yeah, she's been bit.
Picked her up
from the Nashville area,
but she bit me, too.
Good and deep.
I'm wondering, um, you know,
if you know something
to slow the creep?
Or maybe I'm not susceptible?
Or maybe I'm in the clear,
I don't know.
-You took her from Nashville
to Golly! World.
That's, like, four hours,
Clive.
-Yeah. I just need your help.
I need a contact
for Dr. Janikowski.
Just need to know if I'm at risk
or if you can clue me
in on that.
-And, uh, how old
is this soon-to-be were?
-I don't know.
Uh, 18, 19, 25.
I have no earthly idea.
-[Laughs] Okay.
I'm gonna help you out there,
and we're gonna take
a little break
and hear a word
from our sponsor.
And when we come back,
we'll keep the lines open
to hear what makes
you scared of the dark.
Stay with us.
It's "We're Out There."
-From the mountains of...
-Hey, Clive,
are you there, buddy?
-Yeah, yeah. I'm here, man.
-Are you being serious
right now?
You've actually got a lady
in your trailer
that you took from Nashville?
-Yeah,
she got bit by a werewolf!
I saw it happen, and, uh...
I don't know what to do.
-[Moaning]
-Hold on.
-Is that her?
-[Coughing]
-Shit, brother.
[Wind whistling]
Man, I think you need to call
the authorities.
-That's what I need
Dr. Janikowski's number for.
I'm just about a mile away.
-No, no, no.
The authorities,
like, the police, man.
-Why would I do that?
-Clive, you kidnapped a woman.
-I don't understand.
You said he was a specialist.
-Yeah, Clive.
I mean, you know,
there is no Dr. Janikowski.
-What are you --
You said on your show!
-Clive, my man.
I don't know what
to tell you right now.
I kind of thought you knew
what we were all doing here.
You know,
this ain't exactly NPR.
Maybe you should pull over
and try and get some sleep.
-But I...
[Tires screech]
-[Sniffling]
[Sobbing]
-I don't understand.
-Hold on, hold on, hold on.
No, yeah.
-I think he's serious.
-This is bad.
This is bad.
Okay. Hot damn.
Alright, alright, Clive,
you can call the cops
after this call,
but don't do anything stupid.
Alright?
Let's let this ride
a little longer,
just for a couple calls.
Then let's call the cops
and end this.
Alright?
But this is good radio.
Don't --
Don't go killing anyone,
at least while
we're on the air.
Alright, freaks and weirdos,
we've got ourselves
quite the predicament here
on "We're Out There."
We got Clive on the line.
Says he's got
a freaking werewolf in the back
of his Winnebago
outside of Golly! World,
and he's on his way
to visit the famous Dr. J.
Clive, you still there, buddy?
Alright,
let's take some more calls
and see what our
listeners think you should do.
Caller, you're on
with Jasper and Clive.
-I thought this was
a family show.
And you got some wackadoo
with a girl in his trailer.
-Alright, alright.
No need to be mean here.
We're all here
for the same thing.
Next call.
-Hey, Clive.
You're in my county,
and I'm pretty sure I just saw
that long silver bullet
you're pulling
cruise right on by
not 10 minutes ago.
And it seems to me
that girl you got back there
might need a little help.
I don't know if you can hear
me back there, but if you can,
hide the silver, honey.
Yes. I'll be seeing you soon,
Clive.
-And when we come back,
we'll keep the lines open.
Stay with us.
"We're Out There."
[Cellphone beeps]
-What's going on?
-[Exhales slowly]
-Where am I?
-Just close your eyes.
-Golly! World?
-I don't know what to do.
-Daddy?
Where's the girl?
-[Breathing heavily]
[Camper rattling]
[Wind whistling]
[Fabric flapping]
[Wind whistling]
-You have two new messages.
-Hey, Queen.
I know you probably
can't see my texts out there,
but when you get back,
you gotta hit your girl up.
I'm worried about you
and Coach Elliott called.
He said you haven't been
to swim practice in two months.
Get it together, boo-boo.
Have fun in the woods.
I love you.
Text me. Bye!
-Next message.
-Hi, sweetie, you're about to
get in the water
and...I only...
Oh, I guess
this is a weird time
to be leaving you a message,
because I'm watching
you right now.
Um, I just got
this overwhelming urge
to talk to you.
I am so proud
of the strong and capable woman
you've become.
And I know I might not be there
to see you through
some of the most beautiful
moments in your life...
...or the tough ones.
And there will be
many tough ones.
[Clears throat]
But here's what I want
you to know.
That I have had enough love
in my heart
in these last 16 years
to make up for any time
I might miss.
And whenever you feel
like you are lost or insecure,
you don't know what to do
or where to turn,
just know
that I'm always watching.
And as for your dad,
I need you to give that little
weirdo a lot of grace.
I promise he'll be trying.
-[Air horn blows]
-Let's go!
-That's my baby girl!
-We've got to get you
to the hospital.
-We've got to sort this out.
-I know you want to help,
but it can't be this way.
-You're right.
[Radio turns on]
-I think it's time
to take this trailer girl
out of her misery.
Transformation is
a terrible thing to see.
-Ughh!
-Something's got to happen.
[Turn signal clicking]
[Shifts gear]
[Door opens]
Stay right there.
-I'm not a werewolf, Clive.
-We used to play this game...
...when Rebecca was alive.
It's like that Newlyweds game.
One person guesses
how the other one answered.
I got to ask this question.
Name three words
to describe yourself.
She could see that
I hadn't written anything down.
Without hesitation,
she looks at me
and she says,
"You're a good man."
"You're an honest man.
You're a hunter."
She gave me an identity
and I knew it was true
because she said it out loud.
My whole life,
I've defined myself
by what others say about me.
I know that's not right,
but right there, in that moment,
she gave me purpose.
And now Holly treats me
like animal.
I fired three shots.
Five years, three shots,
and missed every one of them.
You think that when
someone dies that defines you,
they just take it with them?
Just disappears in some void?
Like it never was.
Does that make sense?
I don't know what's
real anymore.
-Did you kill that girl?
And those people?
-I'm sorry.
[Truck door closes,
engine starts]
-[Breathing deeply]
[Ringing]
-Dad?
-Hey, what's going on?
Are you okay?
-I think so, yeah.
-It's after midnight.
Do you need something?
-I love you.
And I know you're trying.
-Thank you for saying that,
bug. I --
-Dad?
-You alright?
-Yeah, I just, I...
I think
I need to go to a hospital.
-You need a ride?
Ran into a couple
a few miles back.
Said some crazy S.O.B.
pulled a piece on him.
Said he kidnapped a girl.
-Wait. They're alive?
-Mm-hmm.
Lady shit her pants.
-Um, okay.
-Get in the back.
[Breathing heavily]
[Vehicle rumbling]
[Winces]
[Shudders]
-Hey, I think he might
have poisoned me or something.
Should you just take me to a
hospital to get checked out?
Well?
[Scoffs]
[Eerie music plays]
-Alright,
we're back to the phone lines.
Let's get it started
with Rob from Sandusky.
What's the haps, Rob?
-Hey, Jasper.
Long time listener,
first time caller.
Two words --
Skunk ape.
Why ain't nobody talking
about the skunk ape, huh?
-You know, Rob, funny you
should bring up the skunk ape.
A little birdie told me that
the locals got an eye on that
S.O.B.
lurking around a quinceaera
outside the Pigeon Forge area.
The natives are restless.
-Skunk ape's gotta eat,
too, Jasper.
And he ain't no
vegetarian.
He likes choice meat.
-Could you actually
just pull over?
Please?
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Where are we going?
-Yeah, it's me again.
Put me through.
-We've got a familiar voice
back on the line,
says he's got some advice
for our pal Clive
and his trailer park
werewolf situation.
-I got the were in my cruiser.
I'm gonna take care of it.
[Engine revs]
-Why are you doing this?
You don't even know me.
[Laughing]
-What are you even gonna do,
huh?
-Sitting back there acting like
you don't know you was bit
by a were.
Ah, you're burning, yeah?
Feels like your teeth
and gums are separatin'.
Like your bones are stretchin'.
[Laughs]
-How do you know all this?
-Your buddy is
quite the expert.
-I'm pregnant.
-The hell you are.
-I am.
-You really don't get it,
do ya?
-Whatever he poisoned me with
is gonna kill me and my baby.
Okay?
-Honey...
...you're about to turn into
a fucking werewolf.
Look at the back of your shirt.
-[Laughing] Holy shit.
-Okay, something's fucking
happening!
[Screams]
-Looks like we're gonna need
to do this sooner than later.
-Dad, slow down!
Brake! Brake!
Dad!
[Tires screech]
-This just keeps getting
better and better. [laughs]
[Panting]
-Dad...
[Tapping]
-I'm a big fan, C.S.
[Door creaks]
Welcome to the party.
Come on.
Come on out with your man here.
[Banging on window]
[Banging continues]
-Listen, that girl in your
cruiser --
she ain't gonna turn.
-Tell that to the teeth
she's been spitting up
all over my back seat.
-Yeah, well, it's too late.
She would have done it by now.
-Funny -- [chuckles]
I thought the same thing.
But then I got to thinking...
On that phone call you said you
ain't never dealt with pre-were,
so maybe you ain't
the authority in the situation.
Which by default...
[Straining]
By the way --
the bitch is pregnant.
-Aah! [Panicked breathing]
[Breathing heavily]
-But then we ain't too sure
what kinda blood
y'all got running through ya.
I figure if we play it safe.
Both of you, get on your knees.
You, too, darlin'.
[Spits]
[Laughs]
[Exhales]
You know --
I shoulda got
an autograph.
[Window shatters]
-Run!
[Gunshot]
-Shit!
-Dad!
Dad, it's okay.
[Grunting]
-Bad news!
[Wincing, shouts]
-I shot your buddy back there.
-Guess you didn't...
...need my help anyway.
-I haven't needed you
for a long time.
[Screams]
-I come to stay with you
because I love you.
[Gunshot]
-This -- is the spot.
We pulled a body
out of this lake my first week.
Man, oh, man.
This is wild to be
doing this right here.
They had a bulldozer
dredging up the bank here,
just tearing up wet earth.
Un-real.
It was a teenager.
A couple of his buddies were
messing around with a shotgun.
Blam!
They must have gotten scared.
Well, anyways.
We're back.
-Aah! Ah...
-Go. Go get a shot.
Go now!
Now!
-Fancy yourself a swimmer?
-No.
Not so much these days.
[Gunshot]
[Screams]
[Gunshot]
[Shudders]
[Coughs]
-You okay?
-No.
-Yeah. I guess, uh...
[Coughs]
I didn't handle this one
real well, did I? [Chuckles]
-Who was that girl?
-That's my daughter. Ollie.
-Why didn't
you just tell me that?
-Probably sh-should have,
but...
I didn't want to take the risk.
[Clears throat]
Every -- full moon --
I chained her up in the --
in the trailer.
So sh-she didn't hurt herself.
It's been like that
since she was attacked.
[Groans]
When you turn, you're just...
You're -- you're not yourself.
Sh-sh-she never would have
hurt you willingly.
-[She winces]
-Just breathe.
-[She groans]
-You should have turned by now.
Ollie doesn't think
she bit you deep enough.
[Sharp gasps]
-I'm only two months.
-Your body works overtime
when you're infected.
-Just breathe.
-[She screams]
I'm not leaving you.
[Groaning]
[Whimper]
[Deep breathing]
-Breathe.
-[Screaming]
[Screaming]
[Grunting, gasping]

[Rapid breathing]

[Insects trilling]
[Deep breathing]
[Infant cries]
[Coughs, groans]
[Infant cries]
[Snarling cry]
[Crying]
-It's a girl.
-I didn't mean to scare you.
-I know.
-Need a ride?
-Where you going?
-I have no earthly idea.
She must be hungry.
-Yeah, fuck it.
[Infant fusses]
Thanks.
[Seat belt reminder dinging]
[Guitar gently strumming]
[Woman's laughter]
[Sudden gasp]
[Roaring Dark's
"This Place" plays]
Stay close
stay close to me
This'll be our last time
Our last time
So open up the doors
Let them in,
I'm starving
Starving
And I know it's a sin
But this peace that's
within is pride
You stand
Just close your eyes
and die
It doesn't matter
What we have it for
Stand,
just close your eyes again
It doesn't matter
what we have it for
[Insects chirping]
[Clattering]
-[Screaming]
-Turn that light off!
Now!
-Okay, okay, okay.
-Get back there!
-No.
-Get back there now!
-No!
-[Screaming]
-I'm gonna count to three.
One. Two. Three!
-No!
-Get back here now!
-I'm not going back there!!
[Suspenseful music playing]

Hello?
[Breathing heavily]
What the hell?
[Wind whistling]
[Grunts]
[Panting]
[Water running]
[Rattling]
Help!!
Somebody help me!!
[Wind whistling]
[Panting]
What the fuck is going on?!
-Come on now.
[Beads rattling]
-Who are you?
-I am the owner-proprietor
of this mobile home and truck
that's pulling you
down the highway.
I know the bank's about
three weeks from Indian giving
on that exchange.
-Why am I inside of it?
-Well, well, Miss Smarty Pants.
You've been infected.
-Infected?
What did you infect me with?
-Oh, no.
No, I didn't infect you
with anything.
Listen, I found you
at your campsite.
I hauled your heavy butt
back to my home,
and I bandaged up your wounds.
You're welcome.
-Where are you?
-Up here.
-What is this?
-You don't remember?
-[Breathing heavily]
[Door creaking]
[Cups clanking softly]
Fuck off.
-We got less than an hour
to get you to the doctor.
If that.
-Yeah. Or what?
-Listen to me.
It's important
that you stay calm.
Look, I'm a good man.
An honest man.
-Look, this hasn't gone
too far yet.
Okay? Just pull over.
Let me out.
Actually...
thank you.
Thank you for helping me.
Now, if you could please
just pull over and let me out!
[Sobbing]
-Listen to me.
It's imperative we keep
your heart rate down.
-What's happening to me?!
-It's making its way
through your system right --
Listen to me! Breathe!
-[Groans]
-It's the infection taking
hold.
-It's not an infection.
-It's the microbacteria
moving through your system.
-It's not an infection!
I'm pregnant!
[Groaning]
I'm pregnant.
Please let me go.
I need to see a doctor.
Please, just let me go.
-No can do.
[Static]
[Connection ends]
-[Retching, coughing]
You did something to me.
You drugged me
or you poisoned me.
-I did not.
And I ain't gonna
be telling you that all night.
-Where's my phone?
-Your phone's up here with me.
The rest of your stuff's back
at the table.
I only grabbed what I could fit
on my person.
Your tent and whatnot,
that didn't make the trip.
You're a lot heavier
than you look.
-Any information
on any of the women
should be reported to HD.
-W2TK, the Rock,
Knoxville's home
of classic rock.
-Knoxville? Why are we picking
up a signal in Knoxville?
-That station reaches halfway
to Memphis on a clear day.
-Why'd you take my phone?
-Whether you want to believe
it or not,
the number-one rule is
that we can't bring
anyone else into this.
Look, I ain't out here
to cause some dadgum outbreak.
You saw what happened
with that China virus.
-I need you to let
me go right now!
-Look, I need you to relax.
Right? I'm handling it.
-Okay. Aah!
[Electricity crackling]
[Yelling]
-Come on now.
You got to keep your heart rate
down.
-[Yelling continues]
Let me out!
-Stop! I'll make the call!
-What did you say?
-If you stop,
I'll call someone for you.
But you have to calm down.
-I want to call my mo--
I want to call my friend Diane.
[Electronic music playing]
-Lena!
You look rough, boo-boo.
Mm.
-Not Diane.
-Listen to me.
It's important
that you stay calm.
This infection, it moves
through your vena cava.
It's the main vein
going to your arm.
Do you see it?
-Holy shit!
What the hell?
-Once that stuff
gets in your system,
it gets the bodily functions
operating overtime.
All that extra work is gonna
spike your blood sugar,
and you're gonna want to eat.
And you're probably
gonna end up in the toilet
more than you want.
Might get a little...farty.
But once that stuff makes it
to your heart,
I ain't equipped for that.
Well, I am, but
you won't like the equipment.
-It's fine. I'm -- I'm calm.
Just make the call.
-[Line ringing]
-Wait. Who are you calling?
-I'm assuming Daddy Longlegs
ain't your pop's
Christian name.
-Can you -- Can you just call
someone else, please?
-Why? You don't want your
daddy to know where you're at?
Really?
-Come on, Lena.
-We've never talked about it.
-She was my world, too.
-It's Stuart,
but I doubt he'll pick up.
[Line ringing]
-What's your name?
-Lena.
-Alright, Lena.
My name's Clive.
-...recording.
You may hang up
or press one for more options.
-Hi, Stuart.
Uh, my name's Clive.
You don't know me.
I'm an acquaintance of Lena,
and, uh, she got in
a little scuttle with a dog,
and we're on her way
to Sacred Heart Hospital.
I don't want you to worry.
We're gonna see
Dr. Janikowski.
She's gonna be just fine.
-Dad! Help!
A hillbilly kidnapped me!
I'm stuck in the back
of his trailer!
-That wasn't very nice.
-Please just call
someone else.
He never checks his voicemails.
Please.
-I can make an exception
for your mom.
Will she be awake?
-No.
-Should I text her?
-No. She's gone.
-That don't mean
she won't have her phone...
-She's dead.
[Camper rattling]
-My wife, Rebecca.
She's been gone five years...
yesterday.
Cancer.
-Fuck cancer.
-You said it.
How far along are you?
-Two months.
-Waikiki.
That kid drank so many
tiki drinks at the resort bar,
they named one after her --
the Hellcat.
Mai Tai with a little splash
of grenadine.
Best vacation of my life.
The little one,
that's my daughter, Allie.
She don't see eye to eye with
her old man much these days.
Something happened to her
when she took off to college.
Things just...hmm...
changed between us.
She was attacked.
Go on.
Stick that back up there
so it don't get ruined.
-You can see me?
-Don't get bent out of shape.
Look, a few weeks back,
a couple of turds,
they spray-painted something
vile on the side of my --
my home there, but --
Stop! Look.
Turn. By the coffee mugs.
Anyhow, look,
I got a live feed going on
up here
in case those little
punks want to come back
and catch some lead.
I actually think it's
pretty damn cool.
It was the most expensive one
they had.
[Fire crackling]
[Air horn blows]
-Look at Daddy.
-[Giggling]
-Yeah. He's so silly.
He's so silly.
-[Babbling]
[Rattling]
-[Sniffling]
You said we're going to
Sacred Heart, right?
-Yep.
To see a specialist,
Dr. Janikowski.
-I need you to tell
me exactly how I got here.
-I wish I could tell you
what you want to hear.
But I can't.
You're just gonna have to be
alright with that for now.
[Insects chirping]
-[Gasps]
-Get down.
-When I was just a little guy,
I spent the night out in this
tree house my pa built.
He never finished the roof
on the dang thing.
It was perfect for seeing
shooting stars, whatnot.
This one night,
I went up there.
Out of nowhere,
the sky goes black.
Not dark, black.
And I saw all
these little hands
coming up over the edge of it.
And then faces.
They looked like,
well, kind of looked like us,
but different.
That was when I realized
for the first time
that we ain't alone out here.
It's the most profound moment
of my life.
Once that veil gets lifted,
there's no going back.
-Bullshit.
Bullshit.
This is all bullshit.
[Sighs]
-You know,
I must have told that story
a hundred times over the years,
and each time I feel
like I drift further
and further out to sea.
-[Sighs deeply]
[Sighs]
"Celestial Delights."
-I was into creature comics
when I was a kid.
I tried sneaking out
of my reality when I could.
My house wasn't
quite as, uh, fantastic.
And more and more, I opened
to things in the world.
A few years back, I come across
this radio show I liked.
So these guys are
pretty out there, even for me.
Anyhow, she likes politics.
Some of these guys,
they were the closest thing
I had to friends.
Still are, really.
Holly, bless her heart,
she just can't see past it.
So it's just me out here now.
Believe it or not, don't get
too many visitors these days.
-I really messed up
your trailer.
-Yeah, if you could,
uh, go on and stop that now,
I'd be appreciative.
[Electricity crackling]
[Whirring, up-tempo music plays]
Turn that switch before the
smoke machine fires off.
We'll never clear it out.
[Music stops]
My wife and I did a lot of
karaoke when we got this thing.
We should be
touching down soon.
[Connection ends]
-[Breathing heavily]
[Rattling]
Lorazepam.
-What's that now?
What'd you say, Lena?
Lena?!
Do not touch my medications!
-Why do you have this?
-It's not your business!
Do not touch them!
-Oh.
[Moaning]
[Moaning continues]
[Refrigerator door creaks,

[Fluorescent light tinkling]
-[Whispering]
Is somebody there?
-[Moans]
-[Gasps]
[Moaning continues]
-Everything okay?
-[Normal voice] Yes.
-[Moaning]
[Floorboards creaking]
-[Breathing heavily]
[Gasps]
[Whispering] Are you okay?
It's okay.
It's okay.
It's okay.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
Okay. Keys.
Are there any keys anywhere?
[Camper rattling]
-[Cabinet door slams]
-[Gasps]
-Careful with those cabinets!
They'll get you.
-[Grunts]
Sorry about that.
-[Screaming]
Please help me.
-Lena?!
-Please, please help me.
[Screams]
-You have to be quiet.
Please. Please.
-You alright?!
-Yes!
It's just my stomach again!
Please, please, please.
-[Screams]
-I'm gonna get you out.
Okay, okay, okay.
Come on, come on, come on.
It's okay, it's okay.
-[Crying]
-I'm gonna get you out, okay?
Shh. Okay?
-He's here.
-It's okay. It's okay.
Okay. I'm gonna get you out.
-Don't you move.
Put your hands against the door.
Don't turn around.
Put your shirt over your head.
-Okay.
-Hurry!
-Okay, okay.
-[Screaming]
-Turn that light off!
-Now!
-Okay, okay, okay!
-Crawl under that table.
Get, get!
-[Screaming]
-You go for that door,
I'll shoot you in the head.
-[Screaming]
No. [Screams]
-[Panting]
-You try anything --
I mean, anything at all --
and I will kill you both!
You understand?!
Do you understand?!
-Yes!
-Are your eyes down?!
-Yes. They're down.
They're closed, they're closed.
-Don't lie to me!
-They're closed!
-Get back!
-[Panting]
-Your turn. Get back there!
-No!
-Get back there now!
-No!
-I'm gonna count to three.
One. Two. Three!
-No!
-Get back there now!
-I'm not going back there!!
-Then you'll listen to nothing!
Stop touching my things!

You gotta stay calm.
I'm gonna get you
to the doctor.
Get you some help.
[Chains rattling]
-[Gasping]
[Camper rattling]
[Gasps]
Yes, yes, yes, yes. Yes.
Yeah.
-Lena?
I'm coming back.
Enough!
-[Horn honking]
-Oh, my God. Yes.
[Honking continues]
Oh, my God.
-What are you doing?!
-Fuck.
-We're 10 minutes away
from Dr. Janikowski!
-Oh, we aren't anywhere
near Sacred Heart.
You're a liar.
-You can't help
but get in your own way.
If we make it out alive,
you're gonna
have to live with this.
-[Truck door closes]
-[Sighing]
Come on, come on.
[Clapping hands]
Hey, Link!
-How can I help you, Lena?
-Call 911!
[Computer chimes]
-Calling 911.
[Line ringing]
-Yes? Emer-- Emergency.
-Hello?
Hello?!
I've been kidnapped!
I'm stuck in the back
of a trailer!
Hello?!
-Uh--
-Hello!
[Line beeping]
-Fuck. [Panting]
-Get back!
-Hey, Link!
-Mm-hmm.
-Call Diane Mayomi!
-Now calling...Mommy.
[Line ringing]
[Indistinct arguing outside]
-Hey. This is Kathy.
I'm not here right now.
Which means I'm
either with Stuart or Lena,
so you can likely reach me
through them.
Have a nice day.
[Beep]
-Mom?
[Indistinct arguing outside
continues]
Mommy.
I need your help.
-Step back, lady!
-No reason why that outside door
should be locked like that.
-I miss you.
-[Pounding on door]
-Hello? Whoever's in there,
can you hear me?
-I'm here.
He kidnapped me
and he killed another woman.
-I told you, I told you.
-It's none of your business.
Get going!
-Step away from me, mister.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on.
-Shh! Shh!
What's that?
Get the heater! Get it!
-Get on the ground!
-You stay away from me!
-Keep your hands down!
-Sally, step back!
-Get on the ground now!
[Gunshot]
-Sally!
You son of a bitch!
[Gunshot]
-Stupid, stupid.
Stupid!

[Truck door closes]

-[Gasps]
[Camper rattling]
[Sniffling, crying]
-You get it now, Lena?
I'm a good man.
An honest man.
A hunter.
I left with a carrot.
Now it's time for the stick.
-[Screaming]
-What's going on back there?
-[Screaming]
-Hold on!
-[Screaming continues]
[Panting]
-Hold on!
Lord, help me.

[Sighs] Done screwed
the pooch this time, ol' boy.
[Rock music playing]
-Where are you taking me?
What is all this shit?!
[Music stops]
[Panting]
I went in your bedroom.
I saw everything.
The lorazepam.
My mom took that
when she was sick.
It's a sedative.
You torturing people back there?
[Breathing heavily]
I saw the chains...
and the blood!
[Engine starts]
You didn't call my dad.
That wasn't his voicemail.
I knew that wasn't
his fucking voicemail!
Oh!
Wah! Fuck!
[Panting]
What the fuck is in my veins?!
What is this shit?!
What's gonna happen to me?!
-You bit me.
I'm the only one
that can help you.
The risk I took for you.
-Now what?
You gonna let me go?
We're in the same fucking boat
now, aren't we?!
Oh, no, wait.
We're gonna go visit your little
witch doctor on a family plan.
Where are we going, man?
Lay it on me.
What's next?
What's the plan?!
Where are we going?!
-Going to Golly! World.
-The amusement park?
-Dr. Janikowski.
He's a specialist there.
He's a top research physician
at Stanford.
He lost his license because some
Berkeley nutjobs
didn't like him
testing on animals.
Now he's the lead vet physician
at the ragtag
Stampede dinner show.
He's as legit as they come.
-A fucking veterinarian...
at a dinner show?
At an amusement park?!
Oh!
[Cellphone alarm buzzing]
[Cellphone beeps, alarm stops]
-Ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls,
welcome back
to another midnight cast
of "We're Out There."
As always, I'll be guiding you
through the underbelly,
places mainstream media
won't take you to see
the freaks and ghouls,
the vamps and weres,
the extraterrestrial truths
that float above
and lie beneath.
I, Jasper de Vil,
am here to rip the veil
off the whole damn
multi-dimension.
It's a full moon --
the night the true weirdos come
out to feast.
And as we do on the night
of truths,
we're opening the lines right
out of the gate for callers.
We want to hear your stories.
Let us hear about the bump
in the night,
the lights in the sky,
the blood in the water.
And of course, in conjunction
with the full moon,
tell us about who howls
at night.
Looks like we got a caller
from East Tennessee.
Oh, it's our resident
cryptid expert, C.S. Peters.
Tell me, Clive,
where's the boogeyman tonight?
-Yeah.
-[Feedback screeching]
Just a second.
[Screeching stops]
Uh...
-[Panting]
-I-I need your help.
I got a were.
-A werewolf?
Well, well, well.
Let's get into it, shall we?
-She-- She's not one yet.
I saw her get bitten, but,
uh, she's in my trailer now.
-Well, Clive, this type of
thing seems to land squarely
in your realm of expertise, no?
-Well, she bit me, too.
Yeah.
Were infection ain't really
in my wheelhouse, so...
-You said she's
in your trailer?
-Yeah.
Uh, got a '63 Travelcade.
-Hellfire.
I had a feeling
we were gonna get into
some thick stuff tonight.
Hit me with the details,
old pal.
-Well, uh,
I don't have much time.
We're on our way
to Golly! World right now.
-Alright. Alright,
it's clear you read my book.
"The Bite That Drips,"
a little inside baseball.
I'm exactly one "yes" away
from landing
the Dennis Haskins
to narrate the "Bite
the Drips" audiobook.
Mr. Belding of "Saved
By the Bell" fame.
You might know him.
-We don't have time right now,
and, uh, we're a couple of miles
away from, uh,
the main entrance of Golly!
World and, uh, off 449.
And I was just wondering, it is
the ragtag stampede, right?
-Well, yeah.
He's operated nights
at the Stampede for nearly...
You say you've got a were in
your trailer right now, Clive.
-Yeah, she's been bit.
Picked her up
from the Nashville area,
but she bit me, too.
Good and deep.
I'm wondering, um, you know,
if you know something
to slow the creep?
Or maybe I'm not susceptible?
Or maybe I'm in the clear,
I don't know.
-You took her from Nashville
to Golly! World.
That's, like, four hours,
Clive.
-Yeah. I just need your help.
I need a contact
for Dr. Janikowski.
Just need to know if I'm at risk
or if you can clue me
in on that.
-And, uh, how old
is this soon-to-be were?
-I don't know.
Uh, 18, 19, 25.
I have no earthly idea.
-[Laughs] Okay.
I'm gonna help you out there,
and we're gonna take
a little break
and hear a word
from our sponsor.
And when we come back,
we'll keep the lines open
to hear what makes
you scared of the dark.
Stay with us.
It's "We're Out There."
-From the mountains of...
-Hey, Clive,
are you there, buddy?
-Yeah, yeah. I'm here, man.
-Are you being serious
right now?
You've actually got a lady
in your trailer
that you took from Nashville?
-Yeah,
she got bit by a werewolf!
I saw it happen, and, uh...
I don't know what to do.
-[Moaning]
-Hold on.
-Is that her?
-[Coughing]
-Shit, brother.
[Wind whistling]
Man, I think you need to call
the authorities.
-That's what I need
Dr. Janikowski's number for.
I'm just about a mile away.
-No, no, no.
The authorities,
like, the police, man.
-Why would I do that?
-Clive, you kidnapped a woman.
-I don't understand.
You said he was a specialist.
-Yeah, Clive.
I mean, you know,
there is no Dr. Janikowski.
-What are you --
You said on your show!
-Clive, my man.
I don't know what
to tell you right now.
I kind of thought you knew
what we were all doing here.
You know,
this ain't exactly NPR.
Maybe you should pull over
and try and get some sleep.
-But I...
[Tires screech]
-[Sniffling]
[Sobbing]
-I don't understand.
-Hold on, hold on, hold on.
No, yeah.
-I think he's serious.
-This is bad.
This is bad.
Okay. Hot damn.
Alright, alright, Clive,
you can call the cops
after this call,
but don't do anything stupid.
Alright?
Let's let this ride
a little longer,
just for a couple calls.
Then let's call the cops
and end this.
Alright?
But this is good radio.
Don't --
Don't go killing anyone,
at least while
we're on the air.
Alright, freaks and weirdos,
we've got ourselves
quite the predicament here
on "We're Out There."
We got Clive on the line.
Says he's got
a freaking werewolf in the back
of his Winnebago
outside of Golly! World,
and he's on his way
to visit the famous Dr. J.
Clive, you still there, buddy?
Alright,
let's take some more calls
and see what our
listeners think you should do.
Caller, you're on
with Jasper and Clive.
-I thought this was
a family show.
And you got some wackadoo
with a girl in his trailer.
-Alright, alright.
No need to be mean here.
We're all here
for the same thing.
Next call.
-Hey, Clive.
You're in my county,
and I'm pretty sure I just saw
that long silver bullet
you're pulling
cruise right on by
not 10 minutes ago.
And it seems to me
that girl you got back there
might need a little help.
I don't know if you can hear
me back there, but if you can,
hide the silver, honey.
Yes. I'll be seeing you soon,
Clive.
-And when we come back,
we'll keep the lines open.
Stay with us.
"We're Out There."
[Cellphone beeps]
-What's going on?
-[Exhales slowly]
-Where am I?
-Just close your eyes.
-Golly! World?
-I don't know what to do.
-Daddy?
Where's the girl?
-[Breathing heavily]
[Camper rattling]
[Wind whistling]
[Fabric flapping]
[Wind whistling]
-You have two new messages.
-Hey, Queen.
I know you probably
can't see my texts out there,
but when you get back,
you gotta hit your girl up.
I'm worried about you
and Coach Elliott called.
He said you haven't been
to swim practice in two months.
Get it together, boo-boo.
Have fun in the woods.
I love you.
Text me. Bye!
-Next message.
-Hi, sweetie, you're about to
get in the water
and...I only...
Oh, I guess
this is a weird time
to be leaving you a message,
because I'm watching
you right now.
Um, I just got
this overwhelming urge
to talk to you.
I am so proud
of the strong and capable woman
you've become.
And I know I might not be there
to see you through
some of the most beautiful
moments in your life...
...or the tough ones.
And there will be
many tough ones.
[Clears throat]
But here's what I want
you to know.
That I have had enough love
in my heart
in these last 16 years
to make up for any time
I might miss.
And whenever you feel
like you are lost or insecure,
you don't know what to do
or where to turn,
just know
that I'm always watching.
And as for your dad,
I need you to give that little
weirdo a lot of grace.
I promise he'll be trying.
-[Air horn blows]
-Let's go!
-That's my baby girl!
-We've got to get you
to the hospital.
-We've got to sort this out.
-I know you want to help,
but it can't be this way.
-You're right.
[Radio turns on]
-I think it's time
to take this trailer girl
out of her misery.
Transformation is
a terrible thing to see.
-Ughh!
-Something's got to happen.
[Turn signal clicking]
[Shifts gear]
[Door opens]
Stay right there.
-I'm not a werewolf, Clive.
-We used to play this game...
...when Rebecca was alive.
It's like that Newlyweds game.
One person guesses
how the other one answered.
I got to ask this question.
Name three words
to describe yourself.
She could see that
I hadn't written anything down.
Without hesitation,
she looks at me
and she says,
"You're a good man."
"You're an honest man.
You're a hunter."
She gave me an identity
and I knew it was true
because she said it out loud.
My whole life,
I've defined myself
by what others say about me.
I know that's not right,
but right there, in that moment,
she gave me purpose.
And now Holly treats me
like animal.
I fired three shots.
Five years, three shots,
and missed every one of them.
You think that when
someone dies that defines you,
they just take it with them?
Just disappears in some void?
Like it never was.
Does that make sense?
I don't know what's
real anymore.
-Did you kill that girl?
And those people?
-I'm sorry.
[Truck door closes,
engine starts]
-[Breathing deeply]
[Ringing]
-Dad?
-Hey, what's going on?
Are you okay?
-I think so, yeah.
-It's after midnight.
Do you need something?
-I love you.
And I know you're trying.
-Thank you for saying that,
bug. I --
-Dad?
-You alright?
-Yeah, I just, I...
I think
I need to go to a hospital.
-You need a ride?
Ran into a couple
a few miles back.
Said some crazy S.O.B.
pulled a piece on him.
Said he kidnapped a girl.
-Wait. They're alive?
-Mm-hmm.
Lady shit her pants.
-Um, okay.
-Get in the back.
[Breathing heavily]
[Vehicle rumbling]
[Winces]
[Shudders]
-Hey, I think he might
have poisoned me or something.
Should you just take me to a
hospital to get checked out?
Well?
[Scoffs]
[Eerie music plays]
-Alright,
we're back to the phone lines.
Let's get it started
with Rob from Sandusky.
What's the haps, Rob?
-Hey, Jasper.
Long time listener,
first time caller.
Two words --
Skunk ape.
Why ain't nobody talking
about the skunk ape, huh?
-You know, Rob, funny you
should bring up the skunk ape.
A little birdie told me that
the locals got an eye on that
S.O.B.
lurking around a quinceaera
outside the Pigeon Forge area.
The natives are restless.
-Skunk ape's gotta eat,
too, Jasper.
And he ain't no
vegetarian.
He likes choice meat.
-Could you actually
just pull over?
Please?
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Where are we going?
-Yeah, it's me again.
Put me through.
-We've got a familiar voice
back on the line,
says he's got some advice
for our pal Clive
and his trailer park
werewolf situation.
-I got the were in my cruiser.
I'm gonna take care of it.
[Engine revs]
-Why are you doing this?
You don't even know me.
[Laughing]
-What are you even gonna do,
huh?
-Sitting back there acting like
you don't know you was bit
by a were.
Ah, you're burning, yeah?
Feels like your teeth
and gums are separatin'.
Like your bones are stretchin'.
[Laughs]
-How do you know all this?
-Your buddy is
quite the expert.
-I'm pregnant.
-The hell you are.
-I am.
-You really don't get it,
do ya?
-Whatever he poisoned me with
is gonna kill me and my baby.
Okay?
-Honey...
...you're about to turn into
a fucking werewolf.
Look at the back of your shirt.
-[Laughing] Holy shit.
-Okay, something's fucking
happening!
[Screams]
-Looks like we're gonna need
to do this sooner than later.
-Dad, slow down!
Brake! Brake!
Dad!
[Tires screech]
-This just keeps getting
better and better. [laughs]
[Panting]
-Dad...
[Tapping]
-I'm a big fan, C.S.
[Door creaks]
Welcome to the party.
Come on.
Come on out with your man here.
[Banging on window]
[Banging continues]
-Listen, that girl in your
cruiser --
she ain't gonna turn.
-Tell that to the teeth
she's been spitting up
all over my back seat.
-Yeah, well, it's too late.
She would have done it by now.
-Funny -- [chuckles]
I thought the same thing.
But then I got to thinking...
On that phone call you said you
ain't never dealt with pre-were,
so maybe you ain't
the authority in the situation.
Which by default...
[Straining]
By the way --
the bitch is pregnant.
-Aah! [Panicked breathing]
[Breathing heavily]
-But then we ain't too sure
what kinda blood
y'all got running through ya.
I figure if we play it safe.
Both of you, get on your knees.
You, too, darlin'.
[Spits]
[Laughs]
[Exhales]
You know --
I shoulda got
an autograph.
[Window shatters]
-Run!
[Gunshot]
-Shit!
-Dad!
Dad, it's okay.
[Grunting]
-Bad news!
[Wincing, shouts]
-I shot your buddy back there.
-Guess you didn't...
...need my help anyway.
-I haven't needed you
for a long time.
[Screams]
-I come to stay with you
because I love you.
[Gunshot]
-This -- is the spot.
We pulled a body
out of this lake my first week.
Man, oh, man.
This is wild to be
doing this right here.
They had a bulldozer
dredging up the bank here,
just tearing up wet earth.
Un-real.
It was a teenager.
A couple of his buddies were
messing around with a shotgun.
Blam!
They must have gotten scared.
Well, anyways.
We're back.
-Aah! Ah...
-Go. Go get a shot.
Go now!
Now!
-Fancy yourself a swimmer?
-No.
Not so much these days.
[Gunshot]
[Screams]
[Gunshot]
[Shudders]
[Coughs]
-You okay?
-No.
-Yeah. I guess, uh...
[Coughs]
I didn't handle this one
real well, did I? [Chuckles]
-Who was that girl?
-That's my daughter. Ollie.
-Why didn't
you just tell me that?
-Probably sh-should have,
but...
I didn't want to take the risk.
[Clears throat]
Every -- full moon --
I chained her up in the --
in the trailer.
So sh-she didn't hurt herself.
It's been like that
since she was attacked.
[Groans]
When you turn, you're just...
You're -- you're not yourself.
Sh-sh-she never would have
hurt you willingly.
-[She winces]
-Just breathe.
-[She groans]
-You should have turned by now.
Ollie doesn't think
she bit you deep enough.
[Sharp gasps]
-I'm only two months.
-Your body works overtime
when you're infected.
-Just breathe.
-[She screams]
I'm not leaving you.
[Groaning]
[Whimper]
[Deep breathing]
-Breathe.
-[Screaming]
[Screaming]
[Grunting, gasping]
[Screaming]
[Screaming]
[Rapid breathing]
[Gasps]
[Screams]
[Screams]
[Screams]
[Screams]
[Insects trilling]
[Deep breathing]
[Infant cries]
[Coughs, groans]
[Infant cries]
[Snarling cry]
[Crying]
-It's a girl.
-I didn't mean to scare you.
-I know.
-Need a ride?
-Where you going?
-I have no earthly idea.
She must be hungry.
-Yeah, fuck it.
[Infant fusses]
Thanks.
[Seat belt reminder dinging]
[Guitar gently strumming]
[Woman's laughter]
[Sudden gasp]
[Roaring Dark's
"This Place" plays]
Stay close
stay close to me
This'll be our last time
Our last time
So open up the doors
Let them in,
I'm starving
Starving
And I know it's a sin
But this peace that's
within is pride
You stand
Just close your eyes
and die
It doesn't matter
What we have it for
Stand,
just close your eyes again
It doesn't matter
what we have it for
