Yes, Oliver, what?

You got jelly on your shirt.

What?

Aw, damn.

Oh, man.

Well, I can tell you

You think I could

Not if Mom sees.

Aw, damn.

Good morning, Oliver.

Good morning, Wilbur.

Hi, Mom.

Measles are back.
A second case of...

Patty.



Come on, Patty.

Good morning, Wilbur.

Good morning, Patty.

What is that

You've gotta change your shirt.

Oh, it's fine.

Who's gonna complain?
The animals?

Wilbur.

Are you ready, Ollie?

Change your shirt, Wilbur.

All right.
All right.

Bye, Dad.

Yeah. All right.

Ear infection.

Worms.

Ehh, ehh.

9 lives, my ass.

You ain't gonna make it.

Oh...

Ah, yeah.
Stomach virus.

Diarrhea.

Hemorrhoids.

Erectile dysfunction.

I know.

Police are still searching
for the mysterious animal

that viciously attacked
a man last night

in a local parking garage.

The remains of
the county sanitation worker

was found in a driveway
at the 16th street residence

by a passerby just
after 7:00 this morning.

We're halfway through
our day, Dr. Orwell.

That's great.

That last puppy was so cute,

like a wittle muffin.

Mm-hmm.

Dr. Orwell,

it's 2 P.M.

Thanks for the news flash.

Geoff was scheduled
to work at 9.

He's super late.

I don't think you should let him

take advantage of you like this.

Mm-hmm.

Construction company and plans

a $6 million expansion
of his corporate office
in the town of Minocqua.

The project, which is scheduled
to break ground in July,

will add 46,000 square feet...

Aw, Geoff.

The addition will allow
additional office space,

conference rooms,
and an expansion of the
health and fitness center...

Construction is scheduled
for completion in...

Some help here!

Uh...

What is that ungodly ruckus?

Mikaela...

Was drivin' down the road,

and it just jumped out
in front of me.

Oh, my gosh.
Don't move!

Oh, there you are.
Okay, I know what to do.

I know what to do.
Okay. Okay.

What the hell is it?

Hang on.

Well, stay back, Mikaela.

Uh...

We're gonna need
a bigger gurney.

Turn it. Turn it.
Turn it.

Come on, Mikaela.
Come on. Turn.
Sorry. Sorry.

Now straight through.
Straight through.

Straight through.
Ok, bring it.

Bring it back.
Bring it back.

All right. Right.

Right there.
What happened?

Damn, man. I don't know.
It just jumped out
in front of me.

You hit it?
Yeah.

Who expects a bear
to jump right out?

Brother, this is not a bear.

Then what is it?

Stay still.
Stay still.

Man, I could use
your help here, huh?

No way, man.

Stay still.

Uh, Mikaela, please
make yourself useful.

Hold him down.

Okay.

Mikaela, are you all...

I'm outta here!

Uh...

Uh...

A little help.

Oh, damn it.

Ow!

Jeez, Louise.

Wilbur.

Aw, turn off...
Turn off the light.

It's only 10, Wilbur.
And you're still dressed?

I don't feel well.

Oh. You want Mama
to undress you,
Willie Boy?

Aw, Patty, come on.

Come on what, Wilbur?

You know, Wilbur,
I am beginning to think

you don't find me
attractive anymore.

Aw, please.
Not tonight.

I'm thinkin' I might...

Wilbur, my dear,
that's your problem.

You think too much.

You need to turn off
your worry machine

and take one teensy, tiny,

little peek-a-boo at me.

Eh...

Oh, no.

Oh, God! Wilbur.

What happened to your arm?

Uh, what? Oh.

It was an animal.

A dog?
I don't know.

You don't know, Wilbur?

Could you, uh...

open up the...

window?

You are listening to WJHB radio,

where you get
all the news, weather,
and traffic all the time.

In today's top news,
police are still baffled

by the rash of animal
attacks that have
occurred in our city.

Police have reported
yet another savage attack

that left a 28-year-old woman
found dead late last night

just outside of Bankford County.

A spokesman for the Bankford
County police department

said they had
very few leads to go on

and are reaching out
to the public for any
information regarding...

Ah.

This bizarre
photograph was taken at
the latest crime scene.

Oh, Detective Deane is here.

Let's see what he has to say.

Detective, can you confirm

that the same animal is
doing all these killings?

Hold on a second.

Let me stop you right there.

Uh, we're just beginning
our investigation
at this time,

and we can neither confirm
or deny that it was

a single animal that was
involved in this attack.

So we'll give you information...

Is somethin' wrong with the TV?

Hey, Ollie. Hey.

What?

Good morning.

Good... Good morning, Dad.

You okay?

Yeah.

What the...

Pierced ears?

That doesn't make sense.

Is that a filling?

If you just wait
one itty-bitty moment,

I promise the doctor
will be right here.

He will answer
any questions you may...

Where is he?
Huh?

Where's Michael?

Where is he?
Where is Michael?

Calm down.
I'm Crane Dougdale.

This is my wife Moonflower.

We're looking
for our s... animal.

He went missing last night.

We think he might have
been hit by a car.

He was very badly hurt
when he came in.

There was nothing I could do.

Ohh.
Ohh.

We'll need the body.

We just wanna give him
a proper burial.

Well, uh...

I'm sorry,
Mr. Dougdale, but...

with an animal of this size,
I'm not supposed to...

He's ours.

He's ours, you bastard.

Oh, my baby.

My baby.

Please.

Can't tell you how much
I appreciate this.

I found this dog tag
around his neck.

But, Crane, what kind
of animal is that, exactly?

You ever need any pottery,
anything at all...

Here, I want you
to have my card.

Dr. Orwell...

I know what you're gonna say,

so you don't need to say it.

But it's been twice
this week that Geoff...

Mikaela, you're right.

I am?

Yes, and I'll handle it.

Well, okey-dokey,
Dr. Orwell.

Okay, bye.

Hmm...

♪♪

Hola.

Now, this is Dr. Orwell,
your boss.

Hola, boss man.
What can I do you for?

Geoff, weren't you
scheduled to work today?

Wilbur, bro, you know
how stuff comes up sometimes.

Today was one of those days
when stuff really came up.

That's like twice
this week where stuff
really came up.

I know, bro.
Put yourself in my shoes.

It's a rough week.

I'll be there tomorrow.
Pinky swear, boss man.

If you're late again, I'm...
Whoa, Wilbur.

Don't bite my head off, bro.

Oh. Wilbur?

Uh, Geoff... No... Static...

Bro... I can't...

Wil...

Patty?

Patty.

Wilbur.

Hmm?

Oh. Patty. Yeah.

Where's Ollie?

He's in his room.

He's not very happy
about all this, Wilbur.

All what?

You promised to come
to his spelling bee.

I really did forget.

Honey, you're gonna
have to learn the words
to a new song,

because we are both so tired
of hearing this one.

Go away!

Ollie, I'm sorry.
I forgot.

You always forget.

You don't care!
You're a jerk!

I'm proud of you, son.

Go away!

It's healed.

Ohh.

Ehh.

You gotta be kiddin' m...

Another vicious
animal attack last night

has claimed the life
of a local man.

A body was found
early this morning

and is believed to be the victim

of the mysterious animal

that is stalking the
residents of Milwaukee.

The body was found
by a road crew

alongside Highway 36
just north of West Alice.

One of the road crew workers
that found the body

was quoted as saying he
had never seen anything
quite so gruesome

and was quite shaken
by the whole ordeal.

Police are asking anyone
that might have been
in the area last night

to call their local
police department.

"Milwaukee residents may
gain some measure of peace,"

Police Chief Riggins
said, "From the fact
that Milwaukee's police

are among the nation's
most successful
at solving crimes."

The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency

has awarded $1.3 million
in grants to the...

We were told that
the body was found

just a few feet from here.

Here's Detective Deane
right now.

Detective, do you still believe

that the killings
were animal attacks?

Despite all the crap
that you're puttin'
out there,

there is no serial killer
called "The Beast."

this is an animal attack,
plain and simple.

But we need to know...

Last night...

What about it?

It was amazing.

You were amazing.

I was?
Oh, you certainly were.

Yes.

I didn't know you
had it in you, Daddy.

Ah...
Ooh, Wilbur,
you're an animal.

Rrowrr. Rahh.

Oh, don't start acting
like it was nothing.

It was.

What?

You don't remember?

Yeah. Of course
I remember,
every moment.

How could I forget what I...

What we did last night, hmm?

Yeah. You better
not forget it.

Ha! I want a repeat.

Ha ha!

What did jerko forget this time?

Ah. Now look at you.

How'd you get so handsome?

It ain't workin'.

I'm still mad at you.

Rahhr.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Come in.

Mikaela.

It's 11 A.M., Dr. Orwell.

Wilbur.

You've been working here
since high school.

You should call me Wilbur.

Okay.

Are those new glasses?

Ohh. I can't believe
you noticed.

How could I not?

They make your eyes sparkle.

Oh.

Thank you, Dr. Orwell.

Ah-ah. Wilbur.

Wilbur. Right. Right.
Right. Right.

Wilbur.

Mikaela.
Yes?

Yes, Wilbur.

Did you come to my room
for a reason?

Oh! Um, heh.

Oh. Silly. Yes. Um...

Totally forgot.
Um...

Uh, it's 11 A.M.

Geoff was scheduled
to work at 10,

so I called his house...

No need.

We won't be seeing
any more of Geoff
around here.

He quit?

Mmm, no.

So until we find a new tech,

how do you feel
about assisting me?

I don't know...

I don't know anything about...

Mikaela, I'll teach you.

Uh...

He swallowed 2 AAA batteries.

We're gonna have to operate.

Oh, she has a cracked rib.

Yeah.

You know, the way
you look at the animals,

it's like... I don't know.

It's like you're one of them.

I know.

Hello.

Just so pretty.

Check on reception, please.

I didn't hear anything.

Humor an old man, Mikaela.

Okay.

Dr. Orwell, there is
a police officer
in reception.

Thanks for takin'
the time out of your day
to see me, Doctor.

I'm assuming
you're not here to get
your puppy fixed.

Uh, no. I don't
even have a dog.

I got bit once
when I was a kid, and...

left a mark.

I can relate.

So, what's up?

Well, you've read the headlines.

I just wanted to pick
your brain about all these
recent animal attacks.

What kind of good pet
gone wrong should we
be lookin' for?

Pet?

I'm no expert,

but I don't think
this is anybody's pet.

The... This animal,
whatever it is,

is quite big... big claws,

big head, big teeth...

Like a bear on steroids.

Why a bear?

I... I don't know.

From what I've been reading,

I've a hunch that it
stands on 2 feet.

Oh, I definitely agree
with you on that,

but I mean, do you really think
that it's just a wild bear?

Uh, uh...

everything okay with you, Doc?

Oh, yeah. I'm fine.

Uh, it's probably
closer to an ape.

An ape?
Yeah, or a...

A mandrill or a, uh, baboon

or, uh, you know, something...

maybe South American,
I don't know.

Well, that's the problem.
Neither do we.

All we know is we have
6 victims so far.

It's, uh, ironic,

you know?

Assigning an animal attack case

to a cop who is scared of dogs.

Heh. Indeed.

But if you wanna talk irony,

take a look at your man
Geoff Matthews.

How does this involve Geoff?

I had to let him go.

Doc, you know Geoff's
lying on a slab

at the county morgue, right?

What?

He was victim number 6.

You really didn't know?

No.

Here. Check these out.

Ohh.

Dr. Orwell,
is it possible

one of your patients
may have got a whiff
of Geoff

and followed him home?

Uh...

Did you happen to lose
a large savage beast?

You don't think I had
anything to do with
these animal attacks?

Wilbur, I'm not certain
they are animal attacks.

This could definitely be
the work of a man,

a disturbed man,
but still a man.

Either way, I definitely
agree with you.

This creature stands on 2 legs.

The more I stand here
lookin' at you,

I wonder who
those 2 legs belong to.

You know, Wilbur,
you don't strike me
as the killing kind,

but I've been wrong
about animals in the past,

and now here you are,

a sweaty pet doc

lookin' like you
know a lot more than
you're lettin' on.

Mm-mmm.

So let me ask you,

did you have anything
to do with these alleged
animal attacks?

Now you've got
my number, Orwell,

and I've got yours.

Let's keep in touch.

The mysterious killer
is still on the loose.

Police have no leads regarding
the mysterious animal

that has been savagely
attacking the citizens
of Milwaukee.

A spokesman
for the Milwaukee police
department said that they,

as well as several other
agencies across Milwaukee,

remain diligent
and will not rest

until the mystery beast
is found.

What did the detective want?

If you have
any information about...

Free heartworm medication.

Mm-hmm.

Did it have something
to do with that thing
from last week?

'Cause I've been thinking...

It's been a long day, Mikaela.

Wilbur, what if that ape thing

is connected
to these animal attacks?

"That thing," as you call it,

died in front of us
in exam room one.

But where's its body, Wilbur?

In my whodunits,
if there's no body,

they're not dead.

I can assure you
that thing is dead.

But what was it?

If you can't even
identify the animal,

how can you be certain it,

you know, d... stayed dead?

"Stayed dead"?

Good night, Mikaela.

Well, good night.

Stay safe.

You, too, Wilbur.

I'm here to offer
my condolences.

What do you...

For Michael...

Your son.

Have you figured out
how to control
the change yet?

I think so.

I can't go through a whole night

without doing it
at least once, you know,

and it feels like...

Like holdin' back
a great big fart.

Crane.

Moonflower likes
to think of it
more sensually,

you know, like an orgasm,

like we're
releasin' our inner
animal spirits.

It's more like we're
connecting our animal
spirits to Mother Earth.

So it's workin' out
for you, then?

Saved my life.

Your son...

saved my life.

Now, listen, I have
to ask you a question...

something serious.

Oh, yeah.

When you're a wolf,

do you, um...

I mean, I know
it feels good, but...

I don't remember everything.

I think I might...

I've been here, man,

and I've been there.

Now, let me give you...

And this comes from over
30 years' experience
with this monster.

You don't do anything as a wolf

you wouldn't do as a man.

Now, take that as you will.

But if you're a good man,

then you're a good dog.

But the animal attacks...

No buts.

You're not responsible
for these killings.

How can you be so...

What are you sayin'?

Are you... you responsible...

Heavens, no. Heh heh.
We're vegans.

Then who is?

There are others
of us out there.

Some of us are less...

well behaved.

Oh, my goodness.

Mikaela...

So bizarre
that you'd be on
a first-name basis

with another one of our victims.

She lost a lot of blood.

She was lucky
we found her
when we did.

And this is lucky?

Very. She probably
would have died
like the others,

but there was
a patrol car
up the street.

We're guessin'
that the sirens must
have scared it off.

"It"?

Him, it, you,

the beast.

I didn't do this to her.

Why would I do this to her?

Had another employee to let go?

You're gonna be all right.

You made it.

You...

Orwell?

Shut up!

Orwell?

Get out of my way!

Orwell, when your friend
wakes up, we'll see
which way the wind blows!

Oh, God.

You're so beautiful.

I knew you'd come.

I knew if I... if I
just killed enough,

one of you would
come eventually.

I've been waiting
for this moment
all my life.

I knew it. I knew it.
I knew it.

And here...

Here you are.

And you're so beautiful.

Go on.

Do what they sent you for.

Bite me.

The god Fenris
sent you to bite me.

Bite me.

Make me like you.

I did everything I knew to do.

I did it all.

Look. Heh heh heh.
Look what I made.

Now I have teeth and claws,

but I still have no bite.

All of this, all in your honor.

All of it to help me

unleash my inner instincts,

to help me unchain
the free spirit inside.

It's all a tribute to you.

Bite me.

Bite me.

Why won't you bite me?!

Is this about the girl?

I know she got away,
but I was gonna fix it.

I was gonna go to
the hospital and fix it.

Aah!

Help! Somebody come!

Help!

Aw, it hurts.

You didn't come to bite me.

Can't kill me.

I'm Forrest J. Caldwell!

You can't kill
Forrest J. Caldwell!

Help! Help me! Aah!

Aah!

Right on.

So how do you think it's goin'?

I think it's amazing.

Everyone's getting along,

and the Dougdales are a big hit.

Yeah?

You think Mikaela's okay?

She seems happy, yes.
Yeah.

I think everyone's
just in awe of you,

you know, the changes.

And how 'bout you?

Are you in awe of me?

Of course.
Yeah?

Constantly.

Mm-hmm.

I'm in awe of you.

I wanna share everything...

with you, Patricia.

Do you wanna share
everything with me?

Yes.

Oh, yeah? Good.
Yes.

Mmm.

Ow!

Wilbur, you bit me!

Someone needs to stop Clearway Law.
Public shouldn't leave reviews for lawyers.
