The Nail Gun Massacre (1985) Movie Script
Help me!
Help!
No!
No!
Let me go!
Get off -no!
Please!
Let me go!
Enough! Get off of me!
What the hell?
Damn! You'd think that
woman'd have me a shirt ready!
Mary Sue, get in here right now!
Shit!
Woman, don't think I ain't talkin'
to you, 'cause I'm talking to you!
I said get your fat ass in here now!
Mary Sue, get in here right now!
I ain't calling you no more!
Mary Sue, get in here right now!
Damn it, woman! I said
get in here now. I ain't calling you again!
Christ, Sally!
Who the hell are you?
If you are looking for trouble,
boy, you've come to the right spot.
Put that thing down, now.
Somebody gonna get hurt.
Sumbitch, I said put that thing down...
Well, what do you think?
I guess you're not thinking too straight.
Those are the worst headaches.
The ones between the eyes.
Bobby Joe,
get yourself out of that box, girl!
Come on,
it's my turn to be the doctor now.
No, it's not your turn yet!
Come on.
No.
Hey, what's this here, huh?
What's that?
My turn
to be a doctor, and you be the patient.
Let him be the patient.
No, I don't want him to be the
patient, I want you to be the patient!
Oh, shit!
What time is it?
It's time for the organ transplant, and
you're the donor and I'm the recipient.
No, really, what time is it?
It's about 10 o'clock, sir.
No, hey, look, I'm really sorry.
I gotta cut that firewood today.
I forgot all about it.
You mean you would rather go cut wood
with your friends than play with these?
Hey, I told Brad I'd
go cut wood with him today.
They need some attention.
They're lonely, they
need somebody to play with.
How about if I come back
and play with them a little bit later on?
Okay?
Well, well, hell, why don't you
do a self checkup until I get back?
But you said we could
play doctor all day long today.
Okay, I'll tell you
what, as soon as we get through,
then we can play doctor, okay?
You better hurry back, or else
I'm gonna find another gentleman.
I'll hurry back, I promise.
Man, are you really dumb.
It's no wonder you can't find anybody
to come out here and cut wood with you.
Hell, man, don't
tell me you're as crazy
as the rest of them folks in that town.
You know, it's not a half a mile
from here where they found him.
What the hell you think is gonna happen
out here in
the middle of the daylight?
You think the boogeyman's out here
waiting for somebody to
walk up so he can nail him?
Look, there's a tree over there.
Ah, all right.
Yeah, well, just
let that killer show up.
'Cause I'll cut
him up with this here chainsaw.
Mark, you go on ahead.
I gotta go take a leak.
Cut it out, Mark.
You want me to piss on you?
Well, you just pissed me off.
I bet this will stop that leak.
Oh no!
Damn this chain saw.
Let's go, Brad!
If you think I'm doing all the work
while you're out
there playing with yourself,
you got another thing coming.
Let's go! It's time to get to work.
Now, now, you really
shouldn't fall to pieces... over me.
Hey, I got me a pickup
truck out here on County Line Road.
Looks like it's been here a couple days.
I want you to run a make on it for me.
License number WF9958.
Let me know what you get on it.
$1.09, $1.69...
Do you remember
when you could sit outside
and not worry about
the mosquitoes and the killers?
$1.59.
I bet you ain't never seen butterflies,
wild butterflies in these parts.
Well, when I was a girl,
they just came through and droves.
- They'd be lying on the road...
- Hey, hon. Guess what?
What? What's up?
We found a house.
There's this little old lady,
who has a house in River Bottom.
She told us that if we fixed it up,
we could live in it for free.
In the River Bottom.
In the River Bottom,
isn't that wonderful?
Neat.
And if you can drag your greasy skull
out of bed at 7AM Monday, we got a job.
It's great, but I
don't understand why this lady
is gonna let us live
in her house for free.
Oh, you don't
believe in anything, do you?
Can't you just believe that this lady
wants to do something nice for us?
That'll be $19.60.
I bet you don't
believe in Santa Claus either.
Of course I don't believe in Santa Claus.
...$19.60.
Oh, okay.
I gotcha.
Right here...
John...
Um, I kind of forgot my wallet.
Either one of y'all got any money?
Oh, you are so bogus.
I got about 29 cents.
Is that all?
Okay, boys, I will bail you out again,
but this is the last time.
The bank has run dry.
- How much, ma'am?
- $19.60.
Do you know anything
about this house we're moving into?
Did you say that old
lady's name was Old Lady Bailey?
Yes, I've heard about that.
I'm not really one to gossip,
but they tell me
there's some strange things
happening down there.
They found some dead bodies.
I guess you're
gonna tell us that this old lady
lets people stay in this house for free,
and then sneaks down and kills them?
Nah, she's probably
just kinda old and run down
and needs some spare parts.
Oh, God.
Ready? I'm starved, let's go.
Okay.
Let's see our new house.
Bye-bye.
Wait till you see these two, Doc.
I just found them a couple of hours ago.
You know, there ain't
been no one killed around here
in over 10 years.
All of a sudden, it
seems like everybody's dying.
When are you gonna
start dressing like a doctor?
I got sick of wearing white.
You know, it seems like
someone's just gone plum loco
with a hammer and a box of nails.
What do you think would make
someone do something like that?
Are you sure these two died
in the same way Leroy Johnson did?
I only see one body here.
You said there were two.
Where's the other one?
About 150 feet over
there, right in front of that clearing.
Caught him with his pants down.
Have you had any luck
with identification yet?
No, not really.
The pickup truck up
there belongs to a Brad Watson,
22 years old, works for
Miller's construction company.
The other fella, I don't know.
State police are
checking missing persons,
but they haven't come up with nothing yet.
Show me the other body.
It looks like they've
been here for quite a while now.
How far are we
from Old Lady Bailey's house
where Johnson was found last month?
I don't know,
about a half a mile or so.
You don't think Old
Lady Bailey killed these people?
I'm not suggesting anything.
I just wondered how
far we were from her house.
You know, this is the
third body we found on her property.
Say, did you find Johnson's wife and kid?
I said, did you ever
find Johnson's wife and kid?
Yeah, yeah, I found them, Doc.
Hey, wasn't Old Lady Bailey's husband
a carpenter before he died?
Be serious, you don't really think
she could really kill anyone, do you?
Nah, I guess not, but, ah, forget it.
I'm gonna go up to the
car and call the meat wagon
while you finish up here.
Well, I guess
that's the way to get service.
Let them know you're alive.
Damn, I'm glad you stopped.
This is the most
godforsaken road I've ever been on.
God, no! Please!
Oh, oh, God, oh, God, please.
No, please, please.
You should never
hitch a ride with a hearse.
Please, no!
Unless you're dying.
Please!
Please!
You hitchhikers are all alike.
Stuck out on the road.
What?
Please.
Please.
It's nice to see someone
playing at their own funeral.
Maybe we can still save him.
Let's try
a long rest and a vaccination.
My guess is he's been
dead about four or five hours.
Tom, what you have
here is an apparent epidemic.
It sure looks like it.
74 to 73.
What do you think
made all them holes in her body?
Rats?
No, no, no way.
If I had my guess,
it would be the same thing
that killed the others.
Puncture wounds inflicted by...
Doc! Look! We got another one!
A trucker just radioed in,
there's a man nailed down to the highway
about five miles from here, follow me.
Hey, hey, Deputy, what about her?
Come on back here
and get this... this stiff!
Ah, don't worry about
her, she ain't going nowhere.
Besides, we'll be here with the ambulance
to pick her up later.
All you wanna do is ride around in
that damn police car, you asshole.
Damn clunkers, ought to be
a law to get them off the highway.
Just littering up
the roads is all they do.
Man, where are the
fucking police when you need them?
I tell you what, if this
ain't one hell of a horror movie,
it's one hell of a biker revenge
or something from a motorcycle gang.
Look at that, buddy.
There ain't no
motorcycle gangs in my county,
just law abiding citizens.
Except for a few
assholes that pass through.
Well, what do you think happened?
Look at the guy.
Hey, what time did
you say you happened up on this?
About 12 minutes ago.
He's probably been here for 30 or 40.
This boy's been dead for several hours.
None of these ones are fatal.
It must have been a long and slow death.
I'd say simply from loss of blood.
Ookay guys, chow time.
Your favorite, honey.
If I see Spaghetti-Os one more time,
I'm gonna be sick.
I wanna say, "Make the day tomorrow. "
How was this? You're proud?
Well, you know, I figured out
the only good thing
about living in this house
is that we don't have noisy neighbors.
But it is so spooky here,
especially when you
two are gone during the day.
And by the way, when are you gonna start
fixing up the place
like you promised the old lady?
No, tomorrow,
because we've gotta go down
to the lumber yard
and pick up some supplies
for the boss anyway.
It's gonna take a
lot to fix this place up.
I mean, a new roof,
walls, door, floors, windows.
Well, honey, Mrs. Bagley said
she was going to pay for the supplies.
All you have to do is charge it to her.
What was that?
Oh, cool it.
There's probably
just some animal or something.
A coon or a fox.
You always say coon.
This place gives me the creeps.
I swear, especially since we found out
why the old lady's
letting us have it for free.
Imagine sleeping under the
same roof where a man was murdered.
Okay, I'll go check it out.
You know, Tom's right.
It's just gonna be
an animal or something.
All those stories we've
been hearing about, you know,
people being killed, it's just,
these people trying to scare us.
It's all a bunch of bullshit.
Be careful, honey.
It was nothing.
Something just knocked the pot over.
There's nothing to worry about.
So let's eat.
You sure you got enough cartridges?
Yeah, I got a whole box
of these little pups right here.
Well, that's it.
Let's go.
Hey!
Hey, wait!
Dipshit, you forgot the
receipt for your material.
Oh, thanks.
I forgot all about it.
Thanks, my ass.
Well, excuse me.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry, all right.
Who or what was that?
I don't know.
I think she just got
dog-rooged out behind the shed.
Oh, take me, you hot bitch.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm just wondering
if you can help us out.
Depends on what it is,
whether I can help you or not.
Hal and I were looking for work,
and we thought you
might be hiring people here.
Sorry, we're full up.
What about any other
kind of work around here,
like construction work or something.
Yeah, I know of a house
a couple of guys are rebuilding.
It's the old Bailey house
up on County Line Road.
Where the hell's County Line Road?
Take a right off the main road, go about
8 miles, you'll come to a gravel road called
County Line Road.
Turn right. Follow it to the end.
It leads up to a wooded
area where they're fixing the house.
You got that, Hal?
Well, thanks a lot for your help.
We'll be seeing you.
Yeah, I'll see
you sooner than you think.
Got it.
Hey, Bubba.
Who the hell are
those punks on the bike?
A couple of guys looking for work.
Were they construction workers?
Yeah, they were.
I sent them over to the Bailey house.
Hey, are you sure
this is the right place?
I mean, this place
looks like a haunted house.
Hey, anybody home?
This has gotta be the place.
I'll check out the house.
What the hell, first things first.
I'm hungry, let's eat.
I'll get the sandwiches.
Looks like there's nobody home.
I'm sure somebody will be home soon.
Yeah, well let's eat.
After we eat,
maybe we can have some fun.
The outdoors turns me on.
Yeah, what you
mean is anything turns you on.
Mm. It's good.
I want some peanut butter!
I got an abandoned
car out here on County Line.
I'm gonna check it out.
10-4?
Annie.
You want a wiener with your buns?
Come on, Trace, leave her alone.
It ain't your problem.
Ain't nothing to it, headquarters.
Just some old broke down work car.
Call Annie and tell
her I'm coming in for dinner.
You guys enjoy yourself.
We're gonna go take a
walk, enjoy Mother Nature.
You know, like the birds in the bees?
Yeah, well keep your feathers on
so the bees don't sting.
What is that there?
Mmm, yeah, you know what you're doing.
Want me to shotgun.
Hey, it's your move.
Oh, you horny toad!
Not much is brewing in the car.
Hell, it was your
choice not to lay in the ant bed.
I'm for anything once.
OK.
It's all yours.
Put it into overdrive.
What the hell's the matter with you?
You got me on the tree, you panther.
Ah, falling in love.
That's the end of
a penetrating love story.
At least this is
the end of this love story.
See you deadbeats later.
Ben, they've been gone for two hours.
Shouldn't they be back by now?
I mean, what if
something happened to them?
Babe, you know what
they went off in the woods for.
No, I don't think anything's happening.
But if it'll make you
feel any better, I'll go check.
I'm going with you.
You're not leaving me here by myself.
No, I'm sorry.
If those guys come back,
they might want to
know what we're doing here.
I'll run, check on them.
You stay here and
I'll be back in the flash.
Hey, Hal, come on, party's over.
Time to come home.
Damn it, Hal, come on, man.
I ain't got all day
to play hide and seek.
I left Trish at the house by herself.
Come on.
Oh shit. You scared the hell out of me.
You haven't seen a guy
or a girl around here, have you?
Move to the tree.
Put your arms around it.
Hands up high.
Look, if it's money you want,
I'm afraid you struck a dry hole.
I'm busted.
It's not money I want.
It's revenge, asshole.
Put your hands together.
God, why me?
God, no.
Hang around for a while.
Oh, God, no.
What's he gonna do to me?
Shit.
God, I can't handle this.
Ben.
Ben, you said you'd be back.
Don't leave me here alone.
Okay?
Oh, God.
They should have been back by now.
You shitheads, where are you guys?
I'm gonna die.
I know I'm gonna die.
Hey, come on, stop, stop.
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
Hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, come on, come on.
Leave me alone.
Come on, come on, come on.
Calm down.
Jesus.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Come on, what are you doing here?
We live here.
Oh, God.
Shh, shh, you're okay, you're okay.
You're okay, it's okay.
Come on, come on, you're okay.
- Oh God!
- You're okay, you're okay.
Help me.
What's the matter?
They went in the woods, I don't.
They went in the woods.
Well, they'll be back.
They went together
and they didn't come back.
They'll be okay, it's all right.
They'll be back, they'll be back.
Help me.
Come on, come on, they'll be all right.
Come on, come on, calm down.
What are you doing,
what are you doing here?
They're gonna be, they'll
be okay, everything's all right.
John, what happened?
What's wrong with her?
Hell, I don't know.
All I know is that she
came here with some people
and they've gone out in the woods.
They're in the woods.
There were shots in
the woods, you gotta go, help me.
There's always
gunshots, there's hunters everywhere.
You gotta help me,
you gotta help me find Ben.
It's okay, we can't go to the bathroom
without having
a bullet fly over our head.
It'll be okay, they're
all right, they're all right.
Come on, come on.
I knew it, they just had to
be on the Bailey property again.
I don't care what Doc thinks,
old lady Bailey is
connected to these killings.
Howdy, you boys got a problem?
Man, there's three people
back in the woods and they're dead
and they've been
nailed up to trees, it's bad.
I've never seen anything like it.
What do you want us to do?
Relax.
Man, they're
hanging off trees back there.
Just relax, just relax.
Which one of you found the bodies?
I found them.
Okay, take me to them.
You, you stay right
here until Doc gets here,
you understand? When he
gets here, you bring him right out.
The other one's right over there,
just past that little clearing there.
God damn.
You said you and your
buddy found them this morning?
My report says they've
been missing since last night.
Just how come you waited till now to call?
Hey, we did call last night,
your dispatcher said, uh,
"wait until morning,"
said it was too dark to see.
Just how long have you and your friends
lived in the old Bailey house?
I don't know what
you're thinking, but it's wrong.
We had nothing to do with this,
except finding
that other girl over there.
And she was so screwed up,
there was nothing we could do with her.
Besides, it was dark.
I barely had enough
stomach to come out here
and cover these two up.
Like the report said,
Doc, there's three of them.
One gal, two guys.
The other one's over there.
You know, it just
don't make any sense to me
what they were doing
out here in the first place.
Well, judging from what I see,
it's pretty apparent
what they were doing out here.
No, Doc, that's not what I mean.
What I mean is, why is it
that everybody that winds up dead
seems to come out
here to get knocked off?
It's like there's someone out there
giving them directions or something.
Well, Tom, in your infinite wisdom,
I'm sure you will
figure it out in due time.
But for now, it's back to business.
Show me the other body.
Don't fuck with me, Doc.
I'm not fucking with you, son.
Is it over?
Hell, I don't know.
The doctor and the
deputy are down there right now.
They said we could go.
Well, Trish is
still in the house sleeping.
I don't know if she
can answer any more questions.
I wish these asshole's wouldn't shoot
so close to the house.
I thought they were
gonna say something to them.
Why did you bring Trish back here?
I thought you were gonna
take her home yesterday.
She can't go back home.
She's pregnant.
Besides, the sheriff told her not to leave
until the investigation was over.
Well, why don't we pitch in right now
and unload the truck
and worry about that later?
Don't worry about Trish.
She's a guest here, just
like some other people we know.
You know that
sound we heard the other night?
I wonder if that
could've been the killer stalking us.
No, there's no one out
there stalking us, all right?
It was just an animal.
Would you give it a rest?
What'd you do with the nail gun, Derek?
That ought to be up at the porch.
Wasn't up there last time I looked.
Damn it, Tom, keep an eye on that stuff.
I mean, we can't afford to lose that.
We can't afford to live
here and we live here for free.
We sure as hell can't
afford to lose $150 nail gun.
I didn't lose the damn nail gun.
I mean, shit.
Jeez.
Alright, you son of a bitch!
I've got you now, asshole, give up.
No, you son of a bitch,
I'ma nail your ears to the wall.
Hey Red, you all right?
I ain't had that much fun
since we gave that little girl a ride.
I bet she's still smiling.
Games, games, I'll make them a game!
We already did.
Oh, God, it hurts.
If you don't hurry up,
we're gonna be here all night
we ain't gonna get to goddamn party.
You guys played with me,
now it's my turn to play with you.
And the game's called... Nevermore!
You stay and play, it gets worse.
What the hell's the matter with you?
We didn't do nothing,
we were just outside playing.
Now it's time to go to work.
This is one person
you didn't leave smiling.
Come on, I didn't do anything!
You didn't do
anything to me, like hell!
Think back six months
ago, and I'll show you how I felt.
There's nothing...
Go ahead and scream.
Remember? Nobody came when I screamed.
I swear, I didn't have anything...
I didn't have anything to do with it.
All I did was watch.
Oh, you gotta...
You gotta know
it wasn't me that raped you?
They just, the guys just got started,
and nobody stopped it.
I'm sorr...
I'm sorry.
We seem to be
having a communication problem.
Like I said, your time has come.
The only question is how to do it.
Slow or fast, but death is your destiny.
Turn out the lights, the party's over.
Bye bye!
No, I'm not gonna wait.
He did say he would meet us at Jill's,
and neither one of them are there.
One, he couldn't get
away from the construction site,
or two, they wanna be alone tonight.
Whatever, it's his problem.
The moon is right,
this man's ready to howl. Yow!
God, you're disgusting.
Don't you ever think of anything else?
What about eating?
You promised to take me
to a nice place to eat tonight,
or was that just
another one of your tricks?
Okay, okay.
Food it is.
How about this?
That's fine.
You call this a class place to eat?
Give me a break.
What's so bad about this place?
It's not like it's the end of the world.
Besides, they got
a special. Grilled cheese,
fries, and a frosty for a buck nineteen.
She's headed this way.
Quick, hide down on the floor.
God, I'm dead meat!
What the hell are you
trying to push me out of sight for?
Is this another one of your mistakes?
My, my, if it ain't cute little Jethro.
Now whatever brings you lovers
to this neck of the woods.
Moose hunting, I bet.
Oh my, I almost forgot to take your order.
Hey, how are ya?
You know, I bet it's
been almost three months...
Okay, the turd face, cut the small talk.
Give me your order.
I guess you forgot I work here.
Bitch.
Look, just give me
two of your buck 19 specials.
My, my, old Mr.
Sweet Cheeks has a new score.
I see you two have
met, or is this some silly game
you play with all the carhops?
Hell, just let me see if I use you
in one of my movies again.
Yeah, it's a game we play.
Playing helps you pass the time.
Hey, how about an ice cream cone?
They got all flavors.
Rocky Road is my favorite.
You see, you look like, uh,
Cherry.
Is that correct?
I shouldn't even have taken his order.
Oh, well, a customer is a customer.
I guess so.
To cherry, or not to cherry.
Let's just ask your
little friend what she wants.
Symbolic of
chasing ass, don't you think?
I think I'm getting the message now.
Hamburger and fries, right?
That's the asshole I told you about.
Come on.
Don't be ridiculous, I'm not,
you don't think I'm
gonna push myself all on you,
I know you're not that kind of girl.
Boy, did she ever rattle your chain.
Looks like somebody's gonna have to
save those shattered nerves of yours.
Is this the only
place you know to park?
Come on, my mom drives by
here on her way home from work.
That's all we need is
to see her little daughter
getting it off with some stranger.
Hey, not to worry.
The man's here.
Besides, I'm as horny as a
rooster in a Chinese hen house.
Something's got to give.
We just can't do it in here.
What do you say we get
out on the hood where we can fly?
What if my mom drives by?
Oh, what the hell?
Ah. Just a minute, oh baby, you...
Drive me crazy!
Back up just a little bit.
Higher!
I think I'm about...
What are you, a cop?
Look, she had an itch
and I was just trying to help.
Oh, shut up, asshole.
Put your pants on.
I'd hate to have you
catch your death of cold.
If you're not a cop, what are you?
Let's just say I'm not Dirty Harry.
God, you're that
guy they've been talking about
on the radio.
Man, why are you doing this?
Call me the Avenger.
Now spread 'em, asshole.
You, Big Tits, get in the car.
Get in the car, right now.
Get on.
Look, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean anything...
Sorry's not enough, you've gotta die.
You killed him!
I'm sorry, you just don't understand.
Paper says they found
another body yesterday afternoon,
same as all the others. Jeez.
Well, who was it?
Hopefully not somebody else you knew.
I don't know, the
police haven't been able
to make a positive ID yet on the body.
Seems we've been
losing an awful lot of men
down at the mall's construction site.
I'm beginning to think
that maybe there's some kind
of connection between
the killings and that job site.
Well, anyway, that's
for the police to figure out.
Look, I'm gonna go check on the steaks.
Why don't you get in
your suit and meet me outside?
I'll be there in a minute.
Dad, are the steaks burning?
Oh my God!
Operator, let me
have Medical City Hospital
in Dallas, please.
Doctor Lee's office, please.
Hello, this is Dr. Jones.
May I speak to Dr. Lee, please?
Okay.
Hello, Howard.
This is Rocky.
Fine, thanks.
Look, I've got a problem out here.
I think you could
be a great deal of help.
Yes.
Well, there's a psycho on the loose.
No, I don't.
About all I do know is what's killed 'em.
The killer's using a nail gun.
Yes.
10 victims so far.
No, I tried that.
I ran it all through the
computer and still nothing.
Local police,
they've got several theories,
but none of it still holds water for me.
You certainly have more
experience along that line than I.
That's why I called.
Yes.
I would like for
you to do a profile for me.
First several killings,
well, they all appear to be related.
Each victim was a construction worker
working on the same job site.
No. Well, there have been several.
Yes.
Well, there have been several,
but they don't seem to
have any relation to each other,
other than the
fact they've all been killed
by the same weapon.
While there was a
kid, apparently hitchhiking
found nailed to the highway.
Also, we found a girl in
town lying near a drainage ditch.
And a couple of lovers out in the woods.
What could spark a rampage like this?
This place was so quiet.
Treating dog bites was a busy day.
I haven't seen
anything that's brutal since 'Nam.
I appreciate it.
Thanks, Howard.
Just as soon as possible,
I'll go ahead and dump
my computer into your system.
Again, thanks, Howard.
And I'll be waiting to hear from you.
All right. All right, bye.
Hello?
Damn, where?
Well, go ahead, I'll be right there.
All right.
You said that you weren't in the pool,
yet there's water all over the steps
indicating that someone was.
I think the killer sought a place to hide
when he heard her coming.
Is there anyone you can think of
that might have
reason to kill your father?
No, he didn't have any enemies.
This morning, he was reading the paper
about the other killings.
Most of the victims
were friends of his from work.
Did your father work for
the Bellows Construction Company?
Yeah, why?
Nothing, just a thought.
Doc, you got a minute?
This may sound crazy,
but at least six of the victims
were employees of the Bellows Company.
That's the same company
that this little gal accused
half the men of gang raping her
when she delivered some supplies
to one of their construction sites.
What are you driving at, Thomas?
Not another theory
like old lady Bailey, I hope.
No, let's just go out to the lumber yard
and talk to this little gal.
It just may be that she's
taking the law into her own hands.
Get serious.
I've known Linda and her brother
ever since I've arrived in town.
She may be bitter, but she
couldn't do anything like this.
Just the same, I'd be obliged
if you'd join me at the lumber yard.
Whatever you say,
just remember you're wrong.
Look, I know that
you've known Linda and her brother
for a long time,
but I feel that this is more
than just town gossip.
Number one, she was gang raped.
And according to her story,
by a bunch of
construction workers at the Mullum site.
Number two, over
half the victims we found dead
work for Bellows Construction Company
and were at the Mullum site.
Now you can't tell
me that's just coincidence.
Tom, I told you, I
took care of her after her rape.
She has never shown any mental disorders
that would push her
mind into a state of killing.
She's not a killer.
So you just go find another suspect.
Look, I know that I'm right about this.
All I need is your help to
put the final piece in the puzzle.
Thomas, you have my help.
But not if you go after the wrong person.
Now when those
reports get back from Dallas
and if they agree with your findings,
then I'll be behind
you all the way. Until then...
Don't close the case.
I gotta get over to the clinic.
You call me.
I'll check with Dallas on their progress.
Hey, maybe somebody's home.
Yeah, maybe we can use the phone.
Anybody home?
Hey, anybody home?
Maybe over there in that old barn.
If they don't have a phone,
maybe they have gasoline.
- Anybody home?
- Hello?
You girls shouldn't get so excited,
not over me, anyway.
- Who are you?
- What do you want?
All we wanted was some gas!
It's time to do your nails!
You want to look pretty in hell!
This will be a gas.
This must be two for one day.
Now to get that shitty sheriff
and that asshole doctor.
Hello, Linda, this is Doc.
Is Bubba there?
Alright, you stay right where
you're at. I'm coming right over.
OK.
Linda, the sheriff's on his way out here.
You gotta tell me the truth.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Things have gone too far.
There's a bunch of dead bodies
and the sheriff is
always way to arrest you.
But I didn't do it.
Who did?
How the hell should I know?
Where's Bubba?
You gotta tell me the truth.
Tell me now.
He's gone!
Where?
He took off
someplace in that old hearse of his.
I think I know where he's headed.
You gotta come with me.
Why are you doing this?
He hasn't done anything to you.
We'll see.
I think he's gone
out to the old County Line Road.
Now what would he be doing out there?
Bubba!
Bubba!
Wait!
Stop it!
Bubba!
Stop it!
Bubba!
Wait!
No!
No!
Oh, Bubba! No! Oh my God!
Oh God save him!
Linda!
Noooo!
I hate to see it end this way.
But at least the killing's over.
Is it?
Is it over?
God!
Beware!
The next time someone tries to nail you,
They just might do it.
Help!
No!
No!
Let me go!
Get off -no!
Please!
Let me go!
Enough! Get off of me!
What the hell?
Damn! You'd think that
woman'd have me a shirt ready!
Mary Sue, get in here right now!
Shit!
Woman, don't think I ain't talkin'
to you, 'cause I'm talking to you!
I said get your fat ass in here now!
Mary Sue, get in here right now!
I ain't calling you no more!
Mary Sue, get in here right now!
Damn it, woman! I said
get in here now. I ain't calling you again!
Christ, Sally!
Who the hell are you?
If you are looking for trouble,
boy, you've come to the right spot.
Put that thing down, now.
Somebody gonna get hurt.
Sumbitch, I said put that thing down...
Well, what do you think?
I guess you're not thinking too straight.
Those are the worst headaches.
The ones between the eyes.
Bobby Joe,
get yourself out of that box, girl!
Come on,
it's my turn to be the doctor now.
No, it's not your turn yet!
Come on.
No.
Hey, what's this here, huh?
What's that?
My turn
to be a doctor, and you be the patient.
Let him be the patient.
No, I don't want him to be the
patient, I want you to be the patient!
Oh, shit!
What time is it?
It's time for the organ transplant, and
you're the donor and I'm the recipient.
No, really, what time is it?
It's about 10 o'clock, sir.
No, hey, look, I'm really sorry.
I gotta cut that firewood today.
I forgot all about it.
You mean you would rather go cut wood
with your friends than play with these?
Hey, I told Brad I'd
go cut wood with him today.
They need some attention.
They're lonely, they
need somebody to play with.
How about if I come back
and play with them a little bit later on?
Okay?
Well, well, hell, why don't you
do a self checkup until I get back?
But you said we could
play doctor all day long today.
Okay, I'll tell you
what, as soon as we get through,
then we can play doctor, okay?
You better hurry back, or else
I'm gonna find another gentleman.
I'll hurry back, I promise.
Man, are you really dumb.
It's no wonder you can't find anybody
to come out here and cut wood with you.
Hell, man, don't
tell me you're as crazy
as the rest of them folks in that town.
You know, it's not a half a mile
from here where they found him.
What the hell you think is gonna happen
out here in
the middle of the daylight?
You think the boogeyman's out here
waiting for somebody to
walk up so he can nail him?
Look, there's a tree over there.
Ah, all right.
Yeah, well, just
let that killer show up.
'Cause I'll cut
him up with this here chainsaw.
Mark, you go on ahead.
I gotta go take a leak.
Cut it out, Mark.
You want me to piss on you?
Well, you just pissed me off.
I bet this will stop that leak.
Oh no!
Damn this chain saw.
Let's go, Brad!
If you think I'm doing all the work
while you're out
there playing with yourself,
you got another thing coming.
Let's go! It's time to get to work.
Now, now, you really
shouldn't fall to pieces... over me.
Hey, I got me a pickup
truck out here on County Line Road.
Looks like it's been here a couple days.
I want you to run a make on it for me.
License number WF9958.
Let me know what you get on it.
$1.09, $1.69...
Do you remember
when you could sit outside
and not worry about
the mosquitoes and the killers?
$1.59.
I bet you ain't never seen butterflies,
wild butterflies in these parts.
Well, when I was a girl,
they just came through and droves.
- They'd be lying on the road...
- Hey, hon. Guess what?
What? What's up?
We found a house.
There's this little old lady,
who has a house in River Bottom.
She told us that if we fixed it up,
we could live in it for free.
In the River Bottom.
In the River Bottom,
isn't that wonderful?
Neat.
And if you can drag your greasy skull
out of bed at 7AM Monday, we got a job.
It's great, but I
don't understand why this lady
is gonna let us live
in her house for free.
Oh, you don't
believe in anything, do you?
Can't you just believe that this lady
wants to do something nice for us?
That'll be $19.60.
I bet you don't
believe in Santa Claus either.
Of course I don't believe in Santa Claus.
...$19.60.
Oh, okay.
I gotcha.
Right here...
John...
Um, I kind of forgot my wallet.
Either one of y'all got any money?
Oh, you are so bogus.
I got about 29 cents.
Is that all?
Okay, boys, I will bail you out again,
but this is the last time.
The bank has run dry.
- How much, ma'am?
- $19.60.
Do you know anything
about this house we're moving into?
Did you say that old
lady's name was Old Lady Bailey?
Yes, I've heard about that.
I'm not really one to gossip,
but they tell me
there's some strange things
happening down there.
They found some dead bodies.
I guess you're
gonna tell us that this old lady
lets people stay in this house for free,
and then sneaks down and kills them?
Nah, she's probably
just kinda old and run down
and needs some spare parts.
Oh, God.
Ready? I'm starved, let's go.
Okay.
Let's see our new house.
Bye-bye.
Wait till you see these two, Doc.
I just found them a couple of hours ago.
You know, there ain't
been no one killed around here
in over 10 years.
All of a sudden, it
seems like everybody's dying.
When are you gonna
start dressing like a doctor?
I got sick of wearing white.
You know, it seems like
someone's just gone plum loco
with a hammer and a box of nails.
What do you think would make
someone do something like that?
Are you sure these two died
in the same way Leroy Johnson did?
I only see one body here.
You said there were two.
Where's the other one?
About 150 feet over
there, right in front of that clearing.
Caught him with his pants down.
Have you had any luck
with identification yet?
No, not really.
The pickup truck up
there belongs to a Brad Watson,
22 years old, works for
Miller's construction company.
The other fella, I don't know.
State police are
checking missing persons,
but they haven't come up with nothing yet.
Show me the other body.
It looks like they've
been here for quite a while now.
How far are we
from Old Lady Bailey's house
where Johnson was found last month?
I don't know,
about a half a mile or so.
You don't think Old
Lady Bailey killed these people?
I'm not suggesting anything.
I just wondered how
far we were from her house.
You know, this is the
third body we found on her property.
Say, did you find Johnson's wife and kid?
I said, did you ever
find Johnson's wife and kid?
Yeah, yeah, I found them, Doc.
Hey, wasn't Old Lady Bailey's husband
a carpenter before he died?
Be serious, you don't really think
she could really kill anyone, do you?
Nah, I guess not, but, ah, forget it.
I'm gonna go up to the
car and call the meat wagon
while you finish up here.
Well, I guess
that's the way to get service.
Let them know you're alive.
Damn, I'm glad you stopped.
This is the most
godforsaken road I've ever been on.
God, no! Please!
Oh, oh, God, oh, God, please.
No, please, please.
You should never
hitch a ride with a hearse.
Please, no!
Unless you're dying.
Please!
Please!
You hitchhikers are all alike.
Stuck out on the road.
What?
Please.
Please.
It's nice to see someone
playing at their own funeral.
Maybe we can still save him.
Let's try
a long rest and a vaccination.
My guess is he's been
dead about four or five hours.
Tom, what you have
here is an apparent epidemic.
It sure looks like it.
74 to 73.
What do you think
made all them holes in her body?
Rats?
No, no, no way.
If I had my guess,
it would be the same thing
that killed the others.
Puncture wounds inflicted by...
Doc! Look! We got another one!
A trucker just radioed in,
there's a man nailed down to the highway
about five miles from here, follow me.
Hey, hey, Deputy, what about her?
Come on back here
and get this... this stiff!
Ah, don't worry about
her, she ain't going nowhere.
Besides, we'll be here with the ambulance
to pick her up later.
All you wanna do is ride around in
that damn police car, you asshole.
Damn clunkers, ought to be
a law to get them off the highway.
Just littering up
the roads is all they do.
Man, where are the
fucking police when you need them?
I tell you what, if this
ain't one hell of a horror movie,
it's one hell of a biker revenge
or something from a motorcycle gang.
Look at that, buddy.
There ain't no
motorcycle gangs in my county,
just law abiding citizens.
Except for a few
assholes that pass through.
Well, what do you think happened?
Look at the guy.
Hey, what time did
you say you happened up on this?
About 12 minutes ago.
He's probably been here for 30 or 40.
This boy's been dead for several hours.
None of these ones are fatal.
It must have been a long and slow death.
I'd say simply from loss of blood.
Ookay guys, chow time.
Your favorite, honey.
If I see Spaghetti-Os one more time,
I'm gonna be sick.
I wanna say, "Make the day tomorrow. "
How was this? You're proud?
Well, you know, I figured out
the only good thing
about living in this house
is that we don't have noisy neighbors.
But it is so spooky here,
especially when you
two are gone during the day.
And by the way, when are you gonna start
fixing up the place
like you promised the old lady?
No, tomorrow,
because we've gotta go down
to the lumber yard
and pick up some supplies
for the boss anyway.
It's gonna take a
lot to fix this place up.
I mean, a new roof,
walls, door, floors, windows.
Well, honey, Mrs. Bagley said
she was going to pay for the supplies.
All you have to do is charge it to her.
What was that?
Oh, cool it.
There's probably
just some animal or something.
A coon or a fox.
You always say coon.
This place gives me the creeps.
I swear, especially since we found out
why the old lady's
letting us have it for free.
Imagine sleeping under the
same roof where a man was murdered.
Okay, I'll go check it out.
You know, Tom's right.
It's just gonna be
an animal or something.
All those stories we've
been hearing about, you know,
people being killed, it's just,
these people trying to scare us.
It's all a bunch of bullshit.
Be careful, honey.
It was nothing.
Something just knocked the pot over.
There's nothing to worry about.
So let's eat.
You sure you got enough cartridges?
Yeah, I got a whole box
of these little pups right here.
Well, that's it.
Let's go.
Hey!
Hey, wait!
Dipshit, you forgot the
receipt for your material.
Oh, thanks.
I forgot all about it.
Thanks, my ass.
Well, excuse me.
I'm sorry.
You're sorry, all right.
Who or what was that?
I don't know.
I think she just got
dog-rooged out behind the shed.
Oh, take me, you hot bitch.
Excuse me, sir.
I'm just wondering
if you can help us out.
Depends on what it is,
whether I can help you or not.
Hal and I were looking for work,
and we thought you
might be hiring people here.
Sorry, we're full up.
What about any other
kind of work around here,
like construction work or something.
Yeah, I know of a house
a couple of guys are rebuilding.
It's the old Bailey house
up on County Line Road.
Where the hell's County Line Road?
Take a right off the main road, go about
8 miles, you'll come to a gravel road called
County Line Road.
Turn right. Follow it to the end.
It leads up to a wooded
area where they're fixing the house.
You got that, Hal?
Well, thanks a lot for your help.
We'll be seeing you.
Yeah, I'll see
you sooner than you think.
Got it.
Hey, Bubba.
Who the hell are
those punks on the bike?
A couple of guys looking for work.
Were they construction workers?
Yeah, they were.
I sent them over to the Bailey house.
Hey, are you sure
this is the right place?
I mean, this place
looks like a haunted house.
Hey, anybody home?
This has gotta be the place.
I'll check out the house.
What the hell, first things first.
I'm hungry, let's eat.
I'll get the sandwiches.
Looks like there's nobody home.
I'm sure somebody will be home soon.
Yeah, well let's eat.
After we eat,
maybe we can have some fun.
The outdoors turns me on.
Yeah, what you
mean is anything turns you on.
Mm. It's good.
I want some peanut butter!
I got an abandoned
car out here on County Line.
I'm gonna check it out.
10-4?
Annie.
You want a wiener with your buns?
Come on, Trace, leave her alone.
It ain't your problem.
Ain't nothing to it, headquarters.
Just some old broke down work car.
Call Annie and tell
her I'm coming in for dinner.
You guys enjoy yourself.
We're gonna go take a
walk, enjoy Mother Nature.
You know, like the birds in the bees?
Yeah, well keep your feathers on
so the bees don't sting.
What is that there?
Mmm, yeah, you know what you're doing.
Want me to shotgun.
Hey, it's your move.
Oh, you horny toad!
Not much is brewing in the car.
Hell, it was your
choice not to lay in the ant bed.
I'm for anything once.
OK.
It's all yours.
Put it into overdrive.
What the hell's the matter with you?
You got me on the tree, you panther.
Ah, falling in love.
That's the end of
a penetrating love story.
At least this is
the end of this love story.
See you deadbeats later.
Ben, they've been gone for two hours.
Shouldn't they be back by now?
I mean, what if
something happened to them?
Babe, you know what
they went off in the woods for.
No, I don't think anything's happening.
But if it'll make you
feel any better, I'll go check.
I'm going with you.
You're not leaving me here by myself.
No, I'm sorry.
If those guys come back,
they might want to
know what we're doing here.
I'll run, check on them.
You stay here and
I'll be back in the flash.
Hey, Hal, come on, party's over.
Time to come home.
Damn it, Hal, come on, man.
I ain't got all day
to play hide and seek.
I left Trish at the house by herself.
Come on.
Oh shit. You scared the hell out of me.
You haven't seen a guy
or a girl around here, have you?
Move to the tree.
Put your arms around it.
Hands up high.
Look, if it's money you want,
I'm afraid you struck a dry hole.
I'm busted.
It's not money I want.
It's revenge, asshole.
Put your hands together.
God, why me?
God, no.
Hang around for a while.
Oh, God, no.
What's he gonna do to me?
Shit.
God, I can't handle this.
Ben.
Ben, you said you'd be back.
Don't leave me here alone.
Okay?
Oh, God.
They should have been back by now.
You shitheads, where are you guys?
I'm gonna die.
I know I'm gonna die.
Hey, come on, stop, stop.
Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!
Hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, come on, come on.
Leave me alone.
Come on, come on, come on.
Calm down.
Jesus.
Hey, what are you doing here?
Come on, what are you doing here?
We live here.
Oh, God.
Shh, shh, you're okay, you're okay.
You're okay, it's okay.
Come on, come on, you're okay.
- Oh God!
- You're okay, you're okay.
Help me.
What's the matter?
They went in the woods, I don't.
They went in the woods.
Well, they'll be back.
They went together
and they didn't come back.
They'll be okay, it's all right.
They'll be back, they'll be back.
Help me.
Come on, come on, they'll be all right.
Come on, come on, calm down.
What are you doing,
what are you doing here?
They're gonna be, they'll
be okay, everything's all right.
John, what happened?
What's wrong with her?
Hell, I don't know.
All I know is that she
came here with some people
and they've gone out in the woods.
They're in the woods.
There were shots in
the woods, you gotta go, help me.
There's always
gunshots, there's hunters everywhere.
You gotta help me,
you gotta help me find Ben.
It's okay, we can't go to the bathroom
without having
a bullet fly over our head.
It'll be okay, they're
all right, they're all right.
Come on, come on.
I knew it, they just had to
be on the Bailey property again.
I don't care what Doc thinks,
old lady Bailey is
connected to these killings.
Howdy, you boys got a problem?
Man, there's three people
back in the woods and they're dead
and they've been
nailed up to trees, it's bad.
I've never seen anything like it.
What do you want us to do?
Relax.
Man, they're
hanging off trees back there.
Just relax, just relax.
Which one of you found the bodies?
I found them.
Okay, take me to them.
You, you stay right
here until Doc gets here,
you understand? When he
gets here, you bring him right out.
The other one's right over there,
just past that little clearing there.
God damn.
You said you and your
buddy found them this morning?
My report says they've
been missing since last night.
Just how come you waited till now to call?
Hey, we did call last night,
your dispatcher said, uh,
"wait until morning,"
said it was too dark to see.
Just how long have you and your friends
lived in the old Bailey house?
I don't know what
you're thinking, but it's wrong.
We had nothing to do with this,
except finding
that other girl over there.
And she was so screwed up,
there was nothing we could do with her.
Besides, it was dark.
I barely had enough
stomach to come out here
and cover these two up.
Like the report said,
Doc, there's three of them.
One gal, two guys.
The other one's over there.
You know, it just
don't make any sense to me
what they were doing
out here in the first place.
Well, judging from what I see,
it's pretty apparent
what they were doing out here.
No, Doc, that's not what I mean.
What I mean is, why is it
that everybody that winds up dead
seems to come out
here to get knocked off?
It's like there's someone out there
giving them directions or something.
Well, Tom, in your infinite wisdom,
I'm sure you will
figure it out in due time.
But for now, it's back to business.
Show me the other body.
Don't fuck with me, Doc.
I'm not fucking with you, son.
Is it over?
Hell, I don't know.
The doctor and the
deputy are down there right now.
They said we could go.
Well, Trish is
still in the house sleeping.
I don't know if she
can answer any more questions.
I wish these asshole's wouldn't shoot
so close to the house.
I thought they were
gonna say something to them.
Why did you bring Trish back here?
I thought you were gonna
take her home yesterday.
She can't go back home.
She's pregnant.
Besides, the sheriff told her not to leave
until the investigation was over.
Well, why don't we pitch in right now
and unload the truck
and worry about that later?
Don't worry about Trish.
She's a guest here, just
like some other people we know.
You know that
sound we heard the other night?
I wonder if that
could've been the killer stalking us.
No, there's no one out
there stalking us, all right?
It was just an animal.
Would you give it a rest?
What'd you do with the nail gun, Derek?
That ought to be up at the porch.
Wasn't up there last time I looked.
Damn it, Tom, keep an eye on that stuff.
I mean, we can't afford to lose that.
We can't afford to live
here and we live here for free.
We sure as hell can't
afford to lose $150 nail gun.
I didn't lose the damn nail gun.
I mean, shit.
Jeez.
Alright, you son of a bitch!
I've got you now, asshole, give up.
No, you son of a bitch,
I'ma nail your ears to the wall.
Hey Red, you all right?
I ain't had that much fun
since we gave that little girl a ride.
I bet she's still smiling.
Games, games, I'll make them a game!
We already did.
Oh, God, it hurts.
If you don't hurry up,
we're gonna be here all night
we ain't gonna get to goddamn party.
You guys played with me,
now it's my turn to play with you.
And the game's called... Nevermore!
You stay and play, it gets worse.
What the hell's the matter with you?
We didn't do nothing,
we were just outside playing.
Now it's time to go to work.
This is one person
you didn't leave smiling.
Come on, I didn't do anything!
You didn't do
anything to me, like hell!
Think back six months
ago, and I'll show you how I felt.
There's nothing...
Go ahead and scream.
Remember? Nobody came when I screamed.
I swear, I didn't have anything...
I didn't have anything to do with it.
All I did was watch.
Oh, you gotta...
You gotta know
it wasn't me that raped you?
They just, the guys just got started,
and nobody stopped it.
I'm sorr...
I'm sorry.
We seem to be
having a communication problem.
Like I said, your time has come.
The only question is how to do it.
Slow or fast, but death is your destiny.
Turn out the lights, the party's over.
Bye bye!
No, I'm not gonna wait.
He did say he would meet us at Jill's,
and neither one of them are there.
One, he couldn't get
away from the construction site,
or two, they wanna be alone tonight.
Whatever, it's his problem.
The moon is right,
this man's ready to howl. Yow!
God, you're disgusting.
Don't you ever think of anything else?
What about eating?
You promised to take me
to a nice place to eat tonight,
or was that just
another one of your tricks?
Okay, okay.
Food it is.
How about this?
That's fine.
You call this a class place to eat?
Give me a break.
What's so bad about this place?
It's not like it's the end of the world.
Besides, they got
a special. Grilled cheese,
fries, and a frosty for a buck nineteen.
She's headed this way.
Quick, hide down on the floor.
God, I'm dead meat!
What the hell are you
trying to push me out of sight for?
Is this another one of your mistakes?
My, my, if it ain't cute little Jethro.
Now whatever brings you lovers
to this neck of the woods.
Moose hunting, I bet.
Oh my, I almost forgot to take your order.
Hey, how are ya?
You know, I bet it's
been almost three months...
Okay, the turd face, cut the small talk.
Give me your order.
I guess you forgot I work here.
Bitch.
Look, just give me
two of your buck 19 specials.
My, my, old Mr.
Sweet Cheeks has a new score.
I see you two have
met, or is this some silly game
you play with all the carhops?
Hell, just let me see if I use you
in one of my movies again.
Yeah, it's a game we play.
Playing helps you pass the time.
Hey, how about an ice cream cone?
They got all flavors.
Rocky Road is my favorite.
You see, you look like, uh,
Cherry.
Is that correct?
I shouldn't even have taken his order.
Oh, well, a customer is a customer.
I guess so.
To cherry, or not to cherry.
Let's just ask your
little friend what she wants.
Symbolic of
chasing ass, don't you think?
I think I'm getting the message now.
Hamburger and fries, right?
That's the asshole I told you about.
Come on.
Don't be ridiculous, I'm not,
you don't think I'm
gonna push myself all on you,
I know you're not that kind of girl.
Boy, did she ever rattle your chain.
Looks like somebody's gonna have to
save those shattered nerves of yours.
Is this the only
place you know to park?
Come on, my mom drives by
here on her way home from work.
That's all we need is
to see her little daughter
getting it off with some stranger.
Hey, not to worry.
The man's here.
Besides, I'm as horny as a
rooster in a Chinese hen house.
Something's got to give.
We just can't do it in here.
What do you say we get
out on the hood where we can fly?
What if my mom drives by?
Oh, what the hell?
Ah. Just a minute, oh baby, you...
Drive me crazy!
Back up just a little bit.
Higher!
I think I'm about...
What are you, a cop?
Look, she had an itch
and I was just trying to help.
Oh, shut up, asshole.
Put your pants on.
I'd hate to have you
catch your death of cold.
If you're not a cop, what are you?
Let's just say I'm not Dirty Harry.
God, you're that
guy they've been talking about
on the radio.
Man, why are you doing this?
Call me the Avenger.
Now spread 'em, asshole.
You, Big Tits, get in the car.
Get in the car, right now.
Get on.
Look, I'm sorry,
I didn't mean anything...
Sorry's not enough, you've gotta die.
You killed him!
I'm sorry, you just don't understand.
Paper says they found
another body yesterday afternoon,
same as all the others. Jeez.
Well, who was it?
Hopefully not somebody else you knew.
I don't know, the
police haven't been able
to make a positive ID yet on the body.
Seems we've been
losing an awful lot of men
down at the mall's construction site.
I'm beginning to think
that maybe there's some kind
of connection between
the killings and that job site.
Well, anyway, that's
for the police to figure out.
Look, I'm gonna go check on the steaks.
Why don't you get in
your suit and meet me outside?
I'll be there in a minute.
Dad, are the steaks burning?
Oh my God!
Operator, let me
have Medical City Hospital
in Dallas, please.
Doctor Lee's office, please.
Hello, this is Dr. Jones.
May I speak to Dr. Lee, please?
Okay.
Hello, Howard.
This is Rocky.
Fine, thanks.
Look, I've got a problem out here.
I think you could
be a great deal of help.
Yes.
Well, there's a psycho on the loose.
No, I don't.
About all I do know is what's killed 'em.
The killer's using a nail gun.
Yes.
10 victims so far.
No, I tried that.
I ran it all through the
computer and still nothing.
Local police,
they've got several theories,
but none of it still holds water for me.
You certainly have more
experience along that line than I.
That's why I called.
Yes.
I would like for
you to do a profile for me.
First several killings,
well, they all appear to be related.
Each victim was a construction worker
working on the same job site.
No. Well, there have been several.
Yes.
Well, there have been several,
but they don't seem to
have any relation to each other,
other than the
fact they've all been killed
by the same weapon.
While there was a
kid, apparently hitchhiking
found nailed to the highway.
Also, we found a girl in
town lying near a drainage ditch.
And a couple of lovers out in the woods.
What could spark a rampage like this?
This place was so quiet.
Treating dog bites was a busy day.
I haven't seen
anything that's brutal since 'Nam.
I appreciate it.
Thanks, Howard.
Just as soon as possible,
I'll go ahead and dump
my computer into your system.
Again, thanks, Howard.
And I'll be waiting to hear from you.
All right. All right, bye.
Hello?
Damn, where?
Well, go ahead, I'll be right there.
All right.
You said that you weren't in the pool,
yet there's water all over the steps
indicating that someone was.
I think the killer sought a place to hide
when he heard her coming.
Is there anyone you can think of
that might have
reason to kill your father?
No, he didn't have any enemies.
This morning, he was reading the paper
about the other killings.
Most of the victims
were friends of his from work.
Did your father work for
the Bellows Construction Company?
Yeah, why?
Nothing, just a thought.
Doc, you got a minute?
This may sound crazy,
but at least six of the victims
were employees of the Bellows Company.
That's the same company
that this little gal accused
half the men of gang raping her
when she delivered some supplies
to one of their construction sites.
What are you driving at, Thomas?
Not another theory
like old lady Bailey, I hope.
No, let's just go out to the lumber yard
and talk to this little gal.
It just may be that she's
taking the law into her own hands.
Get serious.
I've known Linda and her brother
ever since I've arrived in town.
She may be bitter, but she
couldn't do anything like this.
Just the same, I'd be obliged
if you'd join me at the lumber yard.
Whatever you say,
just remember you're wrong.
Look, I know that
you've known Linda and her brother
for a long time,
but I feel that this is more
than just town gossip.
Number one, she was gang raped.
And according to her story,
by a bunch of
construction workers at the Mullum site.
Number two, over
half the victims we found dead
work for Bellows Construction Company
and were at the Mullum site.
Now you can't tell
me that's just coincidence.
Tom, I told you, I
took care of her after her rape.
She has never shown any mental disorders
that would push her
mind into a state of killing.
She's not a killer.
So you just go find another suspect.
Look, I know that I'm right about this.
All I need is your help to
put the final piece in the puzzle.
Thomas, you have my help.
But not if you go after the wrong person.
Now when those
reports get back from Dallas
and if they agree with your findings,
then I'll be behind
you all the way. Until then...
Don't close the case.
I gotta get over to the clinic.
You call me.
I'll check with Dallas on their progress.
Hey, maybe somebody's home.
Yeah, maybe we can use the phone.
Anybody home?
Hey, anybody home?
Maybe over there in that old barn.
If they don't have a phone,
maybe they have gasoline.
- Anybody home?
- Hello?
You girls shouldn't get so excited,
not over me, anyway.
- Who are you?
- What do you want?
All we wanted was some gas!
It's time to do your nails!
You want to look pretty in hell!
This will be a gas.
This must be two for one day.
Now to get that shitty sheriff
and that asshole doctor.
Hello, Linda, this is Doc.
Is Bubba there?
Alright, you stay right where
you're at. I'm coming right over.
OK.
Linda, the sheriff's on his way out here.
You gotta tell me the truth.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Things have gone too far.
There's a bunch of dead bodies
and the sheriff is
always way to arrest you.
But I didn't do it.
Who did?
How the hell should I know?
Where's Bubba?
You gotta tell me the truth.
Tell me now.
He's gone!
Where?
He took off
someplace in that old hearse of his.
I think I know where he's headed.
You gotta come with me.
Why are you doing this?
He hasn't done anything to you.
We'll see.
I think he's gone
out to the old County Line Road.
Now what would he be doing out there?
Bubba!
Bubba!
Wait!
Stop it!
Bubba!
Stop it!
Bubba!
Wait!
No!
No!
Oh, Bubba! No! Oh my God!
Oh God save him!
Linda!
Noooo!
I hate to see it end this way.
But at least the killing's over.
Is it?
Is it over?
God!
Beware!
The next time someone tries to nail you,
They just might do it.
