In this take on 'Darkman' meets 'Phantom of the Opera', a mysterious, disfigured man, whom the public dubs "the phantom lifeguard," is lurking under the Malibu pier and the dunes of Baywatch and who is sending C.J. mysterious gifts wrapped in Edgar Allan Poe poems. After C.J. has an accident when a pier support falls on her, the "monster" a horribly disfigured man named Adran who lives in an abandoned power plant, rescues her and keeps her at his domain, while Mitch, Cody, and Samantha mount a rescue to find C.J., as do two men, named Brett and Bobby, who determined to capture the disfigured man.

-WHAT TIME'S HER SHIFT?
-WELL, IT STARTED AN HOUR AGO,
BUT SHE HASN'T SHOWN UP YET.
THAT'S WHY I'M CALLING HER.
THERE'S NO ANSWER.
[SIGHING]
-I JUST GOT BACK
FROM SURFING.
SHE WASN'T AT HOME,
HER BED HASN'T BEEN SLEPT IN.
SHE DIDN'T COME HOME
LAST NIGHT, JORDAN.
AND NOW SHE'S LATE FOR WORK?
SHE'S NEVER LATE.
SHE'S ALWAYS EARLY.
"WE LOVED WITH A LOVE
THAT WAS MORE THAN LOVE,
"I AND MY ANNABEL LEE.
"AND NEITHER THE
ANGELS IN HEAVEN ABOVE
"NOR THE DEMONS
DOWN UNDER THE SEA
"CAN EVER DISSEVER
MY SOUL FROM THE SOUL
OF THE BEAUTIFUL ANNABEL LEE."
-WHERE'D YOU GET
ALL THESE BOOKS?
-WELL, MY FATHER WAS
AN ENGLISH PROFESSOR.
HE LEFT ME HIS
COLLECTION WHEN HE DIED.
THEY ARE
MY ONLY COMPANIONSHIP,
OTHER THAN MAX.
-HOW'D YOU FIND MAX?
-OH, UH, HE FOUND ME.
I GET SO TIRED OF
SEEING THE FEAR AND...
PITY IN PEOPLE'S EYES,
SO I QUIT LOOKING INTO THEM.
MAX ACCEPTS ME AS I AM.
-ANNABEL LEE, ANNABEL LEE.
[SQUAWKING]
-MAX MAN, PLEASE.
-MAX: ANNABEL LEE!
-AIDEN: SHH!
SHH!
-AIDEN.
LOOK AT ME.
THE POEM AND THE FLOWERS,
IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT?
THE WOMAN IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH,
SHE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE ME.
AND THE MAN--
-IS WHO I USED TO BE.
YOU REMINDED ME
SO MUCH OF HER.
I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD
FEEL THAT WAY AGAIN.
-C.J.: WHAT HAPPENED?
-OH.
SHE DIED.
EVERYTHING DIED.
-TRUST ME.
I WON'T HURT YOU.
-IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE
ANYONE HAS TOUCHED ME.
I'D FORGOTTEN
WHAT IT FELT LIKE.
-BILLY: WHOA, LOOK AT HIM.
THIS DUDE'S AWESOME!
-BRETT: YEAH.
YEAH, WE OUGHT TO CALL
THE COPS OR SOMETHING.
-NO WAY, MAN!
WE'RE GONNA FILM HIS CAPTURE.
-WHAT ARE YOU, CRAZY?
THIS GUY COULD BE DANGEROUS.
-SO GET WILL AND
BOBBY D. TO GO WITH US.
IT'D BE FOUR AGAINST ONE.
WE'LL CATCH THE MONSTER,
RESCUE THE BEAUTIFUL
DAMSEL IN DISTRESS.
HEH. HEROES AND
MILLIONAIRES. FILM AT 11.
-NO, I, I AM NO HERO, OK?
I'M NOT GOING.
-THAT'S BAD, DUDE.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SPLIT UP
YOUR SHARE OF THE MONEY.
-"FOR THE MOON NEVER BEAMS
"WITHOUT BRINGING ME DREAMS
"OF THE BEAUTIFUL ANNABEL LEE.
"AND THE STARS NEVER RISE,
"BUT I FEEL THE BRIGHT EYES
"OF THE BEAUTIFUL ANNABEL LEE.
"AND SO, ALL THE NIGHT-TIDE,
"I LIE DOWN BY THE
SIDE OF MY DARLING,
"MY DARLING,
"MY LIFE AND MY BRIDE,
"IN HER SEPULCHER
THERE BY THE SEA.
IN HER TOMB
BY THE SOUNDING SEA."
-"IN HER TOMB BY
THE SOUNDING SEA."
OH, NO!
-EXCUSE ME,
THERE'S THIS PROBLEM
YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT--
-WHAT KIND OF PROBLEM?
-WELL, THERE'S THIS FREAKY
GUY DOWN BY THE PIER.
HE TOOK THIS GIRL.
-WHAT'D SHE LOOK LIKE?
-BLONDE, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
-WHERE'D HE TAKE HER?
-WELL, HE CARRIED HER OFF
TO THE ABANDONED POWER PLANT.
-HEY THANKS, MAN!
-SURE. I SAW--
IN FACT, I GOT IT ON VIDEO TAPE!
-POE WAS MISUNDERSTOOD
AS A POET.
MOST THOUGHT HE WAS
A MACABRE AND MORBID WRITER.
-"ANNABEL LEE" IS
BEAUTIFUL AND ROMANTIC.
AND VERY SAD.
-FOR POE, THE DEATH
OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
WAS THE MOST TRAGIC,
MOST POETIC TOPIC
IN THE WORLD.
HE LOST HIS WIFE.
HER DEATH TORMENTED HIM.
HE COULD NEVER ACCEPT
THE FACT
THAT SHE WOULD COME
BACK HIM NEVERMORE.
-MAX: [SQUAWKS] NEVERMORE!
-MITCH: HEY, HEY,
WHAT'S GOING ON?
-MITCH, SAM, THANK
GOD YOU GUYS ARE BACK.
HE'S GONNA KILL C.J.
-WHAT?
-THE ABANDONED POWER PLANT.
WE GOTTA GET THERE FAST!
-AIDEN, TELL ME ABOUT HER.
-I HAD EVERYTHING ANY
MAN COULD EVER WANT.
I HAD CATHERINE.
AND WE FOUND LOVE.
WE HAD OUR DREAM HOUSE.
WE WERE PLANNING
ON HAVING A BABY.
EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL,
AND WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
CATHERINE WAS ONLY
BEING ROMANTIC.
SHE KNEW HOW
I LOVED CANDLELIGHT.
A CURTAIN MUST HAVE
BLOWN IN THE WIND.
IT CAUGHT AFLAME.
WHEN I PULLED UP IN
FRONT OF THE HOUSE,
IT WAS ALREADY ON FIRE.
[SCREAMING]
CATHERINE!
NO!
MY GOD!
GOD, NO!
[SCREAMING]
I LOST
EVERYTHING THAT NIGHT.
THE PAIN OF MY BURNS
WAS NOTHING
COMPARED TO THE PAIN
OF LOSING CATHERINE.
WHEN I GOT
OUT OF THE HOSPITAL,
PEOPLE WERE FRIGHTENED
BY THE WAY THAT I LOOKED.
EVEN MY FRIENDS...
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
OR HOW TO BE AROUND ME.
AND SO I, I LIVE HERE.
ALONE.
I FORCED MYSELF
TO STOP THINKING.
STOP FEELING.
OH, AND THEN I SAW YOU.
YOU LOOK
SO MUCH LIKE CATHERINE.
YOU MADE ME REMEMBER
HOW IT WAS TO FEEL LOVE.
-BILLY: HE'S GOTTA BE
AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
-BOBBY: I GUESS SO.
-HE MUST'VE GONE INSIDE.
LET'S GO GET HIM.
DON'T FORGET THE FLASHLIGHT.
-RIGHT HERE.
-GOOD.
-I'M VERY MUCH LIKE POE.
I THOUGHT I'D NEVER GET OVER
LOSING CATHERINE.
THIS IS
THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS
I FELT
AS IF I COULD LOVE AGAIN.
-AIDEN...
-I, I KNOW YOU
CAN'T LOVE ME, C.J.,
BUT AT LEAST I KNOW
I CAN FEEL AGAIN.
I THOUGHT THAT HAD
DIED IN THE FIRE, TOO.
-AIDEN.
LET ME SEE YOUR FACE.
-NO.
NO, I CAN'T.
-PLEASE.
-DON'T PITY ME.
-I COULD NEVER
PITY YOU, AIDEN.
I COULD ONLY ENVY YOU.
BEING SO KIND, AND SO GENTLE.
THE WAY
PEOPLE HAVE TREATED YOU,
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT I PITY.
IF THEY COULD LIVE WITH
WHAT YOU'VE HAD TO LIVE WITH
FOR JUST ONE DAY,
WEAR THIS ON THEIR OWN FACE,
THEY MIGHT FINALLY BE ABLE
TO BE KIND TO EACH OTHER.
NO, I'M THINKING OF HOW GOOD,
AND HOW GENTLE,
AND HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS MAN IS.
[SQUAWKING]
-SHH!
WHOA, HE'S IN THERE!
HE'S GOT HER IN THERE!
KILL THE LIGHTS!
[CRASHING]
GOD, BOBBY, YOU MORON!
WHY DON'T YOU JUST
TELL HIM WE'RE IN HERE?
-STAY HERE.
[GRUNTING]
-NO!
-ALL RIGHT!
HOLD HIM, BOYS!
WHOA, EXCELLENT!
[GRUNTING]
-NO! STOP!
-BILLY: THERE HE GOES!
LET'S GET HIM!
-AIDEN!
[GRUNTING]
-BILLY: DON'T
LET HIM GET AWAY!
-AIDEN!
-MITCH: CODY,
GRAB THE FLASHLIGHT!
-AH, MITCH,
SHE COULD BE ANYWHERE.
-IF SHE'S IN THERE,
WE'LL FIND HER.
COME ON!
[PANTING]
[GRUNTING]
-BILLY: THAT'S IT, BOBBY!
COME ON, GET HIM!
[GRUNTING]
COME ON! GO, GO, GO!
GET OUT OF THE WAY!
[PANTING]
-C.J.!
-C.J.!
-BILLY:
I GOT THIS FREAK NOW!
COME ON! COME ON!
GET UP, YOU GUYS, LET'S GO!
-C.J.!
-CODY!
HURRY! UP HERE!
-BILLY:
GRAB HIM! GRAB HIM!
-NOW BILLY, WE GOT HIM!
-USE THE CHLOROFORM, WILL.
WE ARE HERE LIVE, FILMING
THE CAPTURE OF A MONSTER.
-I AM NOT A MONSTER!
PLEASE, I WON'T HURT YOU!
-NO!
-WHOO!
-DON'T HURT HIM!
MITCH, YOU GOTTA GET HIM,
HE'S THE ONE WHO SAVED ME!
AIDEN!
[GRUNTING]
-BOTH: MITCH!
-AIDEN, I'M JUST
GLAD YOU'RE OK.
-I AM NOW.
-ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET HIM TO
THE HOSPITAL AND CHECKED OUT.
-WAIT, PLEASE.
-OFFICER: SIT RIGHT THERE.
-AIDEN: THANK YOU.
-IT'S OK.
YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
-PARAMEDIC: EASY.
-SORRY I WASN'T
HERE FOR YOU, BABY.
-THAT'S OK.
JUST KISS MY KNEE AND
IT'LL FEEL BETTER.
-HOW'S THAT?
-MUCH BETTER.
-SO UH, WHAT DO YOU SAY,
A COUPLE
OF SETS OF MIXED DOUBLES, HUH?
-VERY FUNNY.
[LAUGHING]
-YOU'RE ON.
-ALL RIGHT.
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE
OYSTERS, YOU KNOW?
LITTLE SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE?
-CODY: GLADSTONES?
-MITCH: GLADSTONES.
-C.J.: I'M STARVING.
-HEY, C.J.
-HI.
-HOW'S AIDEN?
-OH, HE GOT A JOB AT UCLA.
HE'S GONNA BE TEACHING
MISUNDERSTOOD POE.
-OH, THAT'S GREAT.
-AND HE FINALLY
GOT THE COURAGE
TO GO SEE A PLASTIC SURGEON,
AND HE HAD HIS
FIRST CONSULTATION
FOR RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY.
-LOOK, C.J.,
I'VE BEEN A REAL IDIOT.
I HAVEN'T BEEN THINKING
ABOUT YOU AT ALL,
AND UH, AND I'M SORRY.
-WELL, IT'S NOT
THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
THINKING
ABOUT ME THAT HURTS.
IT'S JUST THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
THINKING ABOUT US VERY MUCH.
-I AM NOW.
MORE THAN EVER.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, BABY.
AND IF ANYTHING EVER
HAPPENED TO YOU, I...
WELL, I COULD UNDERSTAND
HOW AIDEN WENT NUTS
AFTER LOSING HIS WIFE.
-WHAT'S THIS?
-MARRY ME, C.J.
I WANT YOU
TO BE MY WIFE.

MITCH THIS WEEKEND.
-REALLY? WHERE

-I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU CAN HANDLE IT,
IT'S PRETTY ROMANTIC.
-GO AHEAD, I CAN HANDLE IT.
-WE ARE DRIVING UP
THE COAST TO CARMEL,
STAYING IN THIS GREAT PLACE
WITH PRIVATE HOT TUBS

JUST ONE NIGHT, BUT I PLAN
TO MAKE IT UNFORGETTABLE.
HEY, MAYBE YOU CAN GET CODY TO
TAKE YOU THERE NEXT WEEKEND.
[LAUGHING]
-YEAH, RIGHT.

KAYAKING ON SUNDAY.
GIVE THAT UP FOR SOMETHING
AS BORING AS ROMANCE?
NOT GONNA HAPPEN.
-OH, THESE ARE
BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS,

-OH, CODY LEFT THEM AT
MY TOWER THIS MORNING.
-MAYBE HE'S CHANGING HIS WAYS.
-MAYBE.
[KNOCKING]
-COME IN!
-HI, LADIES.
-HI.
-HEY, I'VE BEEN LOOKING

-OH, YEAH? HOW'S THAT?
-WELL, I DON'T THINK

TO GET FLOWERS FROM YOU.
-SHE DIDN'T.
BUT YOU KNOW
I LOVE YOU, BABE.
-DON'T CALL ME BABE.
-WELL, IF THEY'RE NOT FROM
CODY, WHO ARE THEY FROM?
-I DON'T KNOW.
-RIGHT AROUND HERE.
I DIDN'T SEE THE THING,
MY LITTLE BRO AND
HIS BUDDIES DID.
-SO WHERE IS HE?

OR DAYS?
IF HE EVEN SHOWS UP AT ALL?
-I'M NOT LAME, BRETT.
CAN YOU JUST HOOK UP
A REMOTE CONTROL CAMERA?
-WELL, YEAH, MY DAD OWNS
A SURVEILLANCE COMPANY.
-EXCELLENT.
WHY DON'T YOU GO GET
SOME LONG PLAY TAPES,
GO HOME, COME BACK,
CHECK OUT WHAT IT TAPES.
PHANTOM OF THE PIER.
THIS IS BETTER THAN
GETTING VIDEO OF BIGFOOT.
COME ON, LET'S DO IT.
-OK.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
-UNBELIEVABLE!
IT'S GREAT, IT REALLY IS.
-THANK YOU.
-HEY, BIG SWELL COMING THROUGH.
THE SURF

-I HEARD!
-AWESOME MEANS DANGEROUS.
-I WISH YOU WERE
COMING WITH US, BUDDY.
-WELL, I'VE GOT
SOME AWESOME PLANS
LINED UP
FOR MITCH THIS WEEKEND.
-DOES AWESOME MEAN DANGEROUS?
-ONLY IF YOU RESIST.
[SIGHING]
-SO WHAT'S UP, KID?
LOOKS LIKE YOU HAD
A ROUGH DAY, HUH?
-NO, JUST WEIRD.
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "WEIRD"?
-SOMEONE LEFT C.J.

TICKED IT WASN'T ME.
[LAUGHING]
-FLOWERS AND A POEM.
-A POEM!
SOUNDS ROMANTIC.
-IT'S NOT ABOUT ROMANCE.

GIFTS AT C.J.'S TOWER.
-WELL, GIRLS LEAVE
THINGS FOR YOU.
-YEAH, BUT I DON'T KEEP THEM.
-SO WHAT'D THE POEM SAY?

AND MANY A YEAR AGO,
IN A KINGDOM BY THE SEA,
"THAT A MAIDEN THERE
LIVED WHOM YOU MAY KNOW
"BY THE NAME OF ANNABEL LEE.
"AND THIS MAIDEN SHE LIVED
WITH NO OTHER THOUGHT
THAN TO LOVE
AND BE LOVED BY ME."
-MITCH: EDGAR ALLEN POE.
-I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW
WHO THIS MYSTERY MAN IS.
-ME, TOO.
HE'S CERTAINLY ROMANTIC.
-OR A NUTCASE.
-WELL, WHOEVER IT IS,
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU GOT A LITTLE
COMPETITION THERE, COOKIE.
-YEAH, IT SOUNDS LIKE
C.J.'S GOT HERSELF
A SECRET ADMIRER.
-BILLY: IS THERE ENOUGH LIGHT?
-THIS IS MADE FOR SURVEILLANCE.
IT'S INFRARED SENSITIVE.
-THIS IS GONNA BE GREAT, DUDE!
-I DON'T KNOW, BILLY.
THIS IS WEIRD. I MEAN,
WE'RE TRACKING MONSTERS HERE.

[CROW SQUAWKS]
-SHH.

THAT'S WHY I'M CALLING HER.
THERE'S NO ANSWER.
[SIGHING]
-I JUST GOT BACK
FROM SURFING.
SHE WASN'T AT HOME,
HER BED HASN'T BEEN SLEPT IN.
SHE DIDN'T COME HOME
LAST NIGHT, JORDAN.
AND NOW SHE'S LATE FOR WORK?
SHE'S NEVER LATE.
SHE'S ALWAYS EARLY.
"WE LOVED WITH A LOVE
THAT WAS MORE THAN LOVE,
"I AND MY ANNABEL LEE.
"AND NEITHER THE
ANGELS IN HEAVEN ABOVE
"NOR THE DEMONS

"CAN EVER DISSEVER
MY SOUL FROM THE SOUL
OF THE BEAUTIFUL ANNABEL LEE."
-WHERE'D YOU GET
ALL THESE BOOKS?
-WELL, MY FATHER WAS
AN ENGLISH PROFESSOR.
HE LEFT ME HIS
COLLECTION WHEN HE DIED.
THEY ARE
MY ONLY COMPANIONSHIP,
OTHER THAN MAX.
-HOW'D YOU FIND MAX?
-OH, UH, HE FOUND ME.
I GET SO TIRED OF
SEEING THE FEAR AND...
PITY IN PEOPLE'S EYES,
SO I QUIT LOOKING INTO THEM.
MAX ACCEPTS ME AS I AM.
-ANNABEL LEE, ANNABEL LEE.
[SQUAWKING]
-MAX MAN, PLEASE.
-MAX: ANNABEL LEE!
-AIDEN: SHH!
SHH!
-AIDEN.
LOOK AT ME.
THE POEM AND THE FLOWERS,
IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT?
THE WOMAN IN THIS PHOTOGRAPH,
SHE LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE ME.
AND THE MAN--
-IS WHO I USED TO BE.
YOU REMINDED ME
SO MUCH OF HER.
I NEVER THOUGHT I COULD
FEEL THAT WAY AGAIN.
-C.J.: WHAT HAPPENED?
-OH.
SHE DIED.
EVERYTHING DIED.
-TRUST ME.
I WON'T HURT YOU.
-IT'S BEEN YEARS SINCE
ANYONE HAS TOUCHED ME.
I'D FORGOTTEN
WHAT IT FELT LIKE.
-BILLY: WHOA, LOOK AT HIM.
THIS DUDE'S AWESOME!
-BRETT: YEAH.
YEAH, WE OUGHT TO CALL
THE COPS OR SOMETHING.
-NO WAY, MAN!
WE'RE GONNA FILM HIS CAPTURE.
-WHAT ARE YOU, CRAZY?
THIS GUY COULD BE DANGEROUS.
-SO GET WILL AND
BOBBY D. TO GO WITH US.
IT'D BE FOUR AGAINST ONE.
WE'LL CATCH THE MONSTER,
RESCUE THE BEAUTIFUL
DAMSEL IN DISTRESS.
HEH. HEROES AND
MILLIONAIRES. FILM AT 11.
-NO, I, I AM NO HERO, OK?
I'M NOT GOING.
-THAT'S BAD, DUDE.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO SPLIT UP
YOUR SHARE OF THE MONEY.
-"FOR THE MOON NEVER BEAMS
"WITHOUT BRINGING ME DREAMS
"OF THE BEAUTIFUL ANNABEL LEE.
"AND THE STARS NEVER RISE,
"BUT I FEEL THE BRIGHT EYES

"I LIE DOWN BY THE
SIDE OF MY DARLING,
"MY DARLING,
"MY LIFE AND MY BRIDE,
"IN HER SEPULCHER
THERE BY THE SEA.
IN HER TOMB
BY THE SOUNDING SEA."
-"IN HER TOMB BY
THE SOUNDING SEA."
OH, NO!
-EXCUSE ME,
THERE'S THIS PROBLEM
YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT--
-WHAT KIND OF PROBLEM?
-WELL, THERE'S THIS FREAKY
GUY DOWN BY THE PIER.
HE TOOK THIS GIRL.
-WHAT'D SHE LOOK LIKE?
-BLONDE, SHE'S BEAUTIFUL.
-WHERE'D HE TAKE HER?
-WELL, HE CARRIED HER OFF
TO THE ABANDONED POWER PLANT.
-HEY THANKS, MAN!
-SURE. I SAW--
IN FACT, I GOT IT ON VIDEO TAPE!
-POE WAS MISUNDERSTOOD
AS A POET.
MOST THOUGHT HE WAS
A MACABRE AND MORBID WRITER.
-"ANNABEL LEE" IS
BEAUTIFUL AND ROMANTIC.
AND VERY SAD.
-FOR POE, THE DEATH
OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
WAS THE MOST TRAGIC,
MOST POETIC TOPIC
IN THE WORLD.
HE LOST HIS WIFE.
HER DEATH TORMENTED HIM.
HE COULD NEVER ACCEPT
THE FACT
THAT SHE WOULD COME
BACK HIM NEVERMORE.
-MAX: [SQUAWKS] NEVERMORE!
-MITCH: HEY, HEY,
WHAT'S GOING ON?
-MITCH, SAM, THANK
GOD YOU GUYS ARE BACK.
HE'S GONNA KILL C.J.
-WHAT?
-THE ABANDONED POWER PLANT.
WE GOTTA GET THERE FAST!
-AIDEN, TELL ME ABOUT HER.
-I HAD EVERYTHING ANY
MAN COULD EVER WANT.
I HAD CATHERINE.
AND WE FOUND LOVE.
WE HAD OUR DREAM HOUSE.
WE WERE PLANNING
ON HAVING A BABY.
EVERYTHING WAS WONDERFUL,
AND WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
FOR THE REST OF OUR LIVES.
CATHERINE WAS ONLY
BEING ROMANTIC.
SHE KNEW HOW
I LOVED CANDLELIGHT.
A CURTAIN MUST HAVE
BLOWN IN THE WIND.
IT CAUGHT AFLAME.
WHEN I PULLED UP IN
FRONT OF THE HOUSE,
IT WAS ALREADY ON FIRE.
[SCREAMING]
CATHERINE!
NO!
MY GOD!
GOD, NO!
[SCREAMING]
I LOST
EVERYTHING THAT NIGHT.
THE PAIN OF MY BURNS
WAS NOTHING
COMPARED TO THE PAIN
OF LOSING CATHERINE.
WHEN I GOT
OUT OF THE HOSPITAL,
PEOPLE WERE FRIGHTENED
BY THE WAY THAT I LOOKED.
EVEN MY FRIENDS...
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
OR HOW TO BE AROUND ME.
AND SO I, I LIVE HERE.
ALONE.
I FORCED MYSELF
TO STOP THINKING.
STOP FEELING.
OH, AND THEN I SAW YOU.
YOU LOOK
SO MUCH LIKE CATHERINE.
YOU MADE ME REMEMBER
HOW IT WAS TO FEEL LOVE.
-BILLY: HE'S GOTTA BE
AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE.
-BOBBY: I GUESS SO.
-HE MUST'VE GONE INSIDE.
LET'S GO GET HIM.
DON'T FORGET THE FLASHLIGHT.
-RIGHT HERE.
-GOOD.
-I'M VERY MUCH LIKE POE.
I THOUGHT I'D NEVER GET OVER
LOSING CATHERINE.
THIS IS
THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS
I FELT
AS IF I COULD LOVE AGAIN.
-AIDEN...
-I, I KNOW YOU
CAN'T LOVE ME, C.J.,
BUT AT LEAST I KNOW
I CAN FEEL AGAIN.
I THOUGHT THAT HAD
DIED IN THE FIRE, TOO.
-AIDEN.
LET ME SEE YOUR FACE.
-NO.
NO, I CAN'T.
-PLEASE.
-DON'T PITY ME.
-I COULD NEVER
PITY YOU, AIDEN.
I COULD ONLY ENVY YOU.
BEING SO KIND, AND SO GENTLE.
THE WAY
PEOPLE HAVE TREATED YOU,
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT I PITY.
IF THEY COULD LIVE WITH
WHAT YOU'VE HAD TO LIVE WITH
FOR JUST ONE DAY,
WEAR THIS ON THEIR OWN FACE,
THEY MIGHT FINALLY BE ABLE
TO BE KIND TO EACH OTHER.
NO, I'M THINKING OF HOW GOOD,
AND HOW GENTLE,
AND HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS MAN IS.
[SQUAWKING]
-SHH!
WHOA, HE'S IN THERE!
HE'S GOT HER IN THERE!
KILL THE LIGHTS!
[CRASHING]
GOD, BOBBY, YOU MORON!
WHY DON'T YOU JUST
TELL HIM WE'RE IN HERE?
-STAY HERE.
[GRUNTING]
-NO!
-ALL RIGHT!
HOLD HIM, BOYS!
WHOA, EXCELLENT!
[GRUNTING]
-NO! STOP!
-BILLY: THERE HE GOES!
LET'S GET HIM!
-AIDEN!
[GRUNTING]
-BILLY: DON'T
LET HIM GET AWAY!
-AIDEN!
-MITCH: CODY,
GRAB THE FLASHLIGHT!
-AH, MITCH,
SHE COULD BE ANYWHERE.
-IF SHE'S IN THERE,
WE'LL FIND HER.
COME ON!
[PANTING]
[GRUNTING]
-BILLY: THAT'S IT, BOBBY!
COME ON, GET HIM!
[GRUNTING]
COME ON! GO, GO, GO!
GET OUT OF THE WAY!
[PANTING]
-C.J.!
-C.J.!
-BILLY:
I GOT THIS FREAK NOW!
COME ON! COME ON!
GET UP, YOU GUYS, LET'S GO!
-C.J.!
-CODY!
HURRY! UP HERE!
-BILLY:
GRAB HIM! GRAB HIM!
-NOW BILLY, WE GOT HIM!
-USE THE CHLOROFORM, WILL.
WE ARE HERE LIVE, FILMING
THE CAPTURE OF A MONSTER.
-I AM NOT A MONSTER!
PLEASE, I WON'T HURT YOU!
-NO!
-WHOO!
-DON'T HURT HIM!
MITCH, YOU GOTTA GET HIM,
HE'S THE ONE WHO SAVED ME!
AIDEN!
[GRUNTING]
-BOTH: MITCH!
-AIDEN, I'M JUST
GLAD YOU'RE OK.
-I AM NOW.
-ALL RIGHT, LET'S GET HIM TO
THE HOSPITAL AND CHECKED OUT.
-WAIT, PLEASE.
-OFFICER: SIT RIGHT THERE.
-AIDEN: THANK YOU.
-IT'S OK.
YOU'RE GONNA BE FINE.
COME ON, LET'S GO.
-PARAMEDIC: EASY.
-SORRY I WASN'T
HERE FOR YOU, BABY.
-THAT'S OK.
JUST KISS MY KNEE AND
IT'LL FEEL BETTER.
-HOW'S THAT?
-MUCH BETTER.
-SO UH, WHAT DO YOU SAY,
A COUPLE
OF SETS OF MIXED DOUBLES, HUH?
-VERY FUNNY.
[LAUGHING]
-YOU'RE ON.
-ALL RIGHT.
HOW ABOUT A LITTLE
OYSTERS, YOU KNOW?
LITTLE SHRIMP ON THE BARBIE?
-CODY: GLADSTONES?
-MITCH: GLADSTONES.
-C.J.: I'M STARVING.
-HEY, C.J.
-HI.
-HOW'S AIDEN?
-OH, HE GOT A JOB AT UCLA.
HE'S GONNA BE TEACHING
MISUNDERSTOOD POE.
-OH, THAT'S GREAT.
-AND HE FINALLY
GOT THE COURAGE
TO GO SEE A PLASTIC SURGEON,
AND HE HAD HIS
FIRST CONSULTATION
FOR RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY.
-LOOK, C.J.,
I'VE BEEN A REAL IDIOT.
I HAVEN'T BEEN THINKING
ABOUT YOU AT ALL,
AND UH, AND I'M SORRY.
-WELL, IT'S NOT
THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
THINKING
ABOUT ME THAT HURTS.
IT'S JUST THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
THINKING ABOUT US VERY MUCH.
-I AM NOW.
MORE THAN EVER.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, BABY.
AND IF ANYTHING EVER
HAPPENED TO YOU, I...
WELL, I COULD UNDERSTAND
HOW AIDEN WENT NUTS
AFTER LOSING HIS WIFE.
-WHAT'S THIS?
-MARRY ME, C.J.
I WANT YOU
TO BE MY WIFE.
