PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal (1996–2000): Season 3, Episode 12 - Harlequin - full transcript
EVERY CREATURE ON EARTH
HAS ITS NATURAL PREDATOR.
WE'D LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT MAN
IS AT THE TOP OF THE CHAIN.
BUT CONSIDERING
THE ONGOING MUTATION
OF NUMEROUS SPECIES
ON THIS PLANET,
THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS
OF A NEW AND DEADLIER PREDATOR
TO TAKE OUR PLACE.
CASE MANAGER'S PRELIMINARY LOG.
THE UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
SURROUNDING THE DEATH
OF ONE OF THEIR CREATURES
HAS PROMPTED THE WINDSOR
ANIMAL HOSPICE TO CONTACT US.
BASED ON THE VICTIM'S WOUNDS
DR. COOPER HAS DETERMINED
THIS INVESTIGATION
IS CRYPTOZOOLOGICAL IN NATURE.
MORE TO FOLLOW;
PRAEGER OUT.
NEW DANCE STEP,
ISADORA?
NO, I'M JUST TRYING TO ASSUME
THE POSITION OF THE ATTACKER.
HUM.
THE RARE AND ELUSIVE
DUFFLE BAG RAT.
IT'S A CAPYBARA.
FEMALE, MAYBE 5 YEARS OLD;
NATIVE TO CENTRAL AMERICA.
CAUSE OF DEATH?
YOU SEE
THESE PUNCTURE WOUNDS?
SOMETHING DRAINED THE BLOOD
FROM IT'S BODY.
*
THE WOUNDS,
THEY'RE SO DEEP.
HOW'D THE ATTACKER
GET IN?
THE DOOR
WAS WIDE OPEN.
UNLOCKED.
IT'S LIKE THE PREDATOR ATTACKED
THE CAPYBARA IN THE WATER
AND DRAGGED HER OUT
TO FINISH THE JOB.
MATT, YOU BETTER
COME HAVE A LOOK AT THIS.
*
SEE THIS?
THERE'S A TRAIL OF BLOOD FROM
THE WOODS TO THE CAPYBARA PEN.
SOMEONE'S
A MESSY EATER.
WE'LL HAVE SAMPLES READY BEFORE
COOPER'S FINISHED THE AUTOPSY.
*
SHE DIDN'T STRUGGLE.
RATS THIS SIZE HOLD UP
THE SUBWAY AT RUSH HOUR.
DESPITE THE FACT THEY'RE
THE LARGEST LIVING RODENT,
THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY
COURAGEOUS.
SHE WAS PROBABLY
TRYING TO HIDE IN THE WEEDS.
HI.
BOB,
COME ON IN.
I WANT YOU
TO MEET MATT.
MATT PRAEGER,
THIS
IS DR. BOB DALHOUSIE.
POOR,
SWEET THING.
BOB'S
OUR PRIMARY CONTACT.
HE'S
THE ASSISTANT MANAGER.
HI.
I'VE HEARD A LOT
ABOUT YOU.
ALL GOOD STUFF,
I HOPE.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING
YOU NEED,
JUST ASK.
YOU CAN START BY TELLING US
WHAT HAPPENED.
OH.
WELL,
I HEARD THE MONKEYS--
WARNING SCREAMS,
EXCITED CHATTER.
I'VE NEVER HEARD THEM
THAT WORKED UP BEFORE.
WHEN I GOT THERE
IT WAS TOO LATE.
MATT,
DID YOU SEE THESE?
LOOK, SEE THESE PUNCTURES
AT THE CEREBELLUM.
LOVELY.
TAKE A LOOK
AT THESE CIRCULAR WOUNDS
TO THE BACK,
THE NECK, THE THIGHS.
IT'S SAFE TO SAY,
IT WON'T FLOAT.
MATT, THESE PUNCTURES
ARE IDENTICAL
TO THE ONES ON THOSE GOATS
I SAW IN PUERTO RICO.
BUT DEAD GOATS
TELL NO TALES.
BUT THEY DO
PROVIDE EVIDENCE.
HEY BOB, I BROUGHT
THE PHOTOS OF THAT CASE.
GREAT.
MATT, I THINK
WE'RE ONTO A CHUPACABRA HERE.
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I THOUGHT.
WE'VE BEEN ON
EL CHUPA HUNTS BEFORE,
ARE YOU SURE?
CIRCULAR WOUNDS, PUNCTURES,
THE BLOOD SUCKING?
I THOUGHT
IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT THE O.S.I.R.
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT.
SO UM--
HOW DID EL CHUPA
GET PAST BORDER PATROL?
RECENT SIGHTINGS WOULD SUGGEST
A NORTHWARD MIGRATION.
RIGHT, AND THERE HAVE BEEN
LIVESTOCK DEATHS RECORDED
THAT ARE IDENTICAL TO CASES
WE FOUND IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
WILD DOGS,
WHAT?
NO, NO, NO, WILD DOGS
DON'T SUCK BLOOD LIKE THIS.
AND THEY RIP AND TEAR
AT FLESH.
IF EL CHUPA
PREFERS LIVESTOCK,
WHAT'S IT DOING
EATING ZOO ANIMALS?
THE CAPYBARA
IS NATIVE TO CENTRAL AMERICA.
IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT EL CHUPA
RECOGNIZED
A FAMILIAR FOOD SOURCE.
LIKE ORDERING A BIG MAC
IN PARIS, RIGHT?
MATT, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
A VERY ELUSIVE CREATURE HERE.
THERE HAVE BEEN
100's OF SIGHTINGS
BUT NO ONE'S
EVER BEEN ABLE
TO PROVE
IT'S EXISTENCE.
WHAT ARE WE DOING THEN,
COOP?
BOB?
WE'RE TRYING TO PROVE
IT'S EXISTENCE.
RIGHT.
RIGHT!
RIGHT.
THIS IS
WHAT YOU SAW?
LOOK,
I'M NO ARTIST.
I USED TO BE IN THE CIRCUS,
ACTUALLY.
REALLY?
YEAH,
I WAS 4
WHEN MY FATHER 1st PUT MY HEAD
IN THE LION'S MOUTH.
I WAS GONNA CONTINUE
THE FAMILY TRADITION.
IT WASN'T LONG AFTER THAT
MY MOTHER LEFT.
THIS LOOKS AN AWFUL LOT
LIKE PICTURES
I'VE SEEN
ON THE INTERNET.
THAT'S WHAT I SAW.
STUEY,
WHAT WERE YOU DOING OUT THERE
LAST NIGHT?
YOU KNOW,
THE USUAL,
CLEANING UP
AND STUFF.
WHAT KIND OF STUFF?
I WAS--
YES?
I WAS IN
THE TRASH DISPOSAL AREA,
JUST PAST
THE MONKEY CAGES.
I HEARD THE SCREECHING.
AND?
AND THAT THING
ALMOST TOOK MY HEAD OFF.
THEN BOBBY D.
SHOWED UP.
BOBBY D.?
BOB DALHOUSIE.
WE CALL HIM
BOBBY D.
'CAUSE THERE'S A BOB SMITH
IN MAINTENANCE.
AND HE'S BOBBY S.?
NO,
HE'S JUST BOB.
OH,
OF COURSE.
IS THIS
ALMOST OVER?
TELL ME WHAT YOU DID
WHEN YOU SAW THE CAPYBARA.
BOBBY D.
SAID NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING.
LIKE I WAS GONNA HANDLE
A DEAD RODENT.
THAT'S SOMEONE ELSE'S JOB,
FOR SURE.
STUEY'S NOT REALLY GOOD
WITH WORDS.
OR PEOPLE.
COULD BE ALL THOSE YEARS
WITH HIS HEAD IN A LION'S MOUTH.
HE TOLD YOU
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
WHICH PART?
YOU MEAN
ABOUT HIS MOTHER LEAVING?
YEAH.
HIS FATHER DIED
A FEW YEARS LATER.
WHEN THE CIRCUS WENT UNDER,
THE LIONS WERE TO BE DESTROYED.
MY FATHER ADOPTED THEM AND
STUEY WAS PART OF THE PACKAGE.
THAT'S SOME PACKAGE.
AROUND HERE
WE CAN USE
ALL THE HELP
WE CAN GET.
SO,
YOU TRUST HIM?
YEAH, STUEY AND I
PRACTICALLY GREW UP TOGETHER.
OOPS.
UM, DO YOU THINK HE'S TELLING
THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED?
I DON'T THINK
HE'S LYING.
I MEAN, MAYBE HIS IMAGINATION
JUST T THE BEST OF HIM.
WHAT ABOUT BOB?
HE'S A GODSEND,
WILLING TO WORK FULL-TIME HOURS
AT PART-TIME PAY.
WE OPERATE ON
A PRETTY TIGHT BUDGET.
YEAH, I IMAGINE IT'S TOUGH
TO KEEP THIS PLACE GOING.
WE'RE HAVING A FUNDRAISER
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
YOU MIGHT WANT
TO POSTPONE THAT.
LOOK AROUND YOU,
MISS DONNER,
WE NEED THE MONEY.
I'VE GOT 96 ANIMALS
DEPENDING ON ME.
I'M NOT GONNA
LET THEM STARVE.
IT WAS YOUR ASSISTANT MANAGER
WHO CALLED US IN ON THIS.
LOOK, I LIKE BOB,
ALL RIGHT?
BUT HE WORKS FOR ME.
WE'VE BEEN PLANNING THIS EVENT
FOR MONTHS.
YOU DO
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO,
AND LET US
GET BACK TO WORK.
OKAY?
*
DON'T GET ME WRONG,
MY WORK IS IMPORTANT,
THE ANIMALS NEED ME.
BUT WHAT YOU DO,
OH!
WHAT YOU DO--
THAT WOULD BE AMAZING;
CRYPTOZOOLOGY.
YEAH,
I ENJOY IT.
ENJOY IT;
YOU'RE EXPERIENCE IS LEGENDARY:
THE PASSENGER PIGEONS,
THE--
THE--
THE GIANT FLEAS,
THE 2 YETI SIGHTINGS.
THEY WERE
SOMETHING ELSE.
COOP.
PETER,
I DON'T THINK
YOU'VE MET BOB DALHOUSIE.
BOB,
THIS IS PETER AXON.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU NEED,
AS I TOLD L.Q., JUST ASK.
THANKS,
WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.
OKAY.
COOP,
WE'VE GOT A 1 O'CLOCK.
OH, RIGHT,
OKAY.
CATCH YOU LATER,
BOB.
OKAY.
OH, COOP.
WE WEAR
ALMOST THE SAME GLASSES.
WOW.
YOU GOT A FAN,
COOP.
I KNOW.
HUH,
SORRY?
BYE, BYE.
BETTER LATE
THAN NEVER.
FORENSICS FOUND HAIR AND BLOOD
SAMPLES IN THE CAGE, COOP?
BOTH FROM
THE CAPYBARA.
BLOOD TRAIL?
NEXT ON MY LIST.
GOOD;
ENVIRONMENTALS?
BASELINE RESULTS ARE NORMAL,
NO ANOMALIES.
OKAY; THE HOSPICE IS NEXT TO
500 ACRES OF PARKLAND.
WE'VE GOT 3 TEAMS OF 8
SEARCHING FROM HERE
AND HERE.
PETE,
YOU COORDINATE.
THAT'S
A LOT OF GROUND.
A CHUPACABRA HUNT?
I HAVEN'T RULED THAT OUT,
BUT I'M STILL THINKING HOAX.
OUR STAR WITNESS?
STUEY POLIN;
CIRCUS BOY.
I THINK
HE'S HIDING SOMETHING.
THOSE CRAZY CARNY FOLK;
WHAT ABOUT BOB?
HE CHECKS OUT,
A Ph.D. IN--
ZOOLOGY, U.B.C.; DID
OUR UNDERGRADUATE WORK TOGETHER.
HE'S BEEN HERE FOR 2 YEARS,
CARA RAVES ABOUT HIM.
KIND TO ANIMALS?
HE LIVES IN A TRAILER
ON THE GROUNDS.
WHAT,
NO ROOM IN MOM'S BASEMENT?
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S HOW US ZOOLOGISTS LIVE,
THAT'S HOW WE GET THE JOB DONE.
HE'S TOP FLIGHT,
WE SHOULD ENLIST HIS HELP.
OKAY;
MATT?
IF SOMEONE WANTED TO SET IT UP,
HE'D BE A PERFECT CANDIDATE.
A HOAX;
BOB?
NO WAY
HE'D PULL A STUNT LIKE THAT.
MAYBE
FOR THE PUBLICITY.
THIS PLACE
IS SERIOUSLY UNDER FUNDED.
HE'S WAY TOO EAGER.
SINCE WHEN DID THAT DISQUALIFY
A SCIENTIST?
ENTHUSIASM'S NOT A CRIME.
YOU HEAR THAT,
PETE?
GIVE IT A TRY, PRETEND WE'RE
LOOKING FOR SUBATOMIC PARTICLES.
ANTON, I WOULDN'T MIND
YOUR OPINION ON BOB.
SURE.
MATT,
IS THIS REALLY NECESSARY?
JUST COVERING
THE BASES.
I'LL TAKE THIS.
I BUY THE FRUITS AND VEGGIES
AT THE FARMER'S MARKET
AND THEY'RE ALL ORGANIC,
NO PESTICIDES.
DO YOU PAY FOR THE ANIMAL'S FOOD
OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET?
JUST
THE SPECIAL TREATS.
THESE GUYS HAVE HAD A HARD TIME,
SOME OF THEM.
ABANDONED,
HUNTED, ABUSED.
THIS IS HOME
TO THEM.
YOU MUST BE VERY COMMITTED
TO YOUR WORK.
THE LEAST
I CAN DO.
SHE LIKES
THE SEEDLESS.
MEG,
SWEETIE.
NOT HUNGRY.
I BET THEY LOOK FORWARD
TO YOUR SHIFT.
I DON'T HAVE SHIFTS;
I'M HERE ALL THE TIME.
I'VE GOT TO BE.
TELL ME ABOUT STUEY,
STUEY POLIN.
STUEY'S
A GREAT GUY.
HE'S A GREAT GUY.
HE'S JUST NOT VERY GOOD
WITH ANIMALS.
IT'S JUST HIS JOB.
I GUESS YOU REALLY HAVE TO WANT
TO DO THIS.
WELL,
YEAH.
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING
HALFWAY.
YOU HAVE TO LOVE IT.
HAVE YOU SEEN
THE ORANGUTANS?
LET ME SHOW YOU.
*
*
THE MINUTE STUEY DIDN'T SHOW UP
FOR OUR 2nd INTERVIEW,
I KNEW
SOMETHING WAS UP.
*
HEY!
WHAT'S IN THE BAGS?
THEY SAID
IT'S BE OKAY.
WHO'S THEY?
WHOEVER
PUT YOU UP TO THIS?
I NEEDED
THE MONEY.
WHAT ABOUT THIS?
WHO TOLD YOU
TO DRAW THIS?
NOBODY.
THAT'S
WHAT I SAW.
I DON'T WANT
TROUBLE.
TOO LATE.
OH.
DUNG.
WHAT?
DUNG!
THE GUY GIVES ME
50 BUCKS A BAG.
GOOD MONEY
FOR A LOAD OF CRAP.
MOUNTAIN LION
MANURE.
WELL.
IT KEEPS DEER
OUT OF YOUR GARDEN.
I DIDN'T
MAKE ANYTHING UP.
THERE'S SOMETHING
OUT THERE.
*
THIS REMINDS ME
OF THE HUNTLEY EXPEDITION.
THEY HAD 20 SCIENTISTS,
20 OF US HOLDING OUR BREATH,
WAITING FOR SOME SIGN
OF NESSIE.
NOTHING, NOTHING,
NOT EVEN A RIPPLE ON THE LAKE.
I KNOW IT, SHE'LL TEASE YOU
LIKE THAT EVERY TIME.
WHAT IS IT?
DEER.
I APPLIED
FOR A GRANT
TO STUDY THAT NEW SPECIES
OF DEER THEY FOUND IN VIETNAM.
I DIDN'T GET IT.
POLITICAL,
IT'S ALL POLITICAL.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU THINK
OF ALL THE THINGS OUT THERE
JUST WAITING
TO BE DISCOVERED.
YOU KNOW,
IT'S LIKE MIND BOGGLING.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT
ALL WORTHWHILE.
WANT SOME WATER?
IF IT IS WATER.
OF COURSE
IT'S WATER.
HOW DID YOU BECOME A MEMBER
OF THE O.S.I.R.?
I WAS RECRUITED.
HEY, YOU REMEMBER
BERNIE DOLMAN?
YEAH.
HE BROUGHT ME IN.
RIGHT.
SO IF SOMEONE WANTED
TO BECOME A MEMBER,
HOW WOULD THAT HAPPEN?
I DOESN'T
EXACTLY WORK THAT WAY, BOB.
YOU DON'T
JUST BECOME A MEMBER.
YOU GOTTA BE
RECRUITED.
YEAH, RIGHT.
BUT HEY, IT DOESN'T HURT
TO KNOW SOMEONE ON THE INSIDE.
WHAT WAS THAT?
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
*
*
IT LOOKS LIKE HAIR.
HEY, LOOK.
LOOK.
*
IT COULD BE
PART OF A DEER.
YEAH,
OR A WING.
IT'S A WING.
BOB.
WHAT?
*
WHATEVER THAT IS
THERE'S
NOT MUCH LEFT OF IT.
NO.
AND WHATEVER DID THIS
IS STILL OUT THERE.
YEAH.
THIS COULD BE
OUR CHUPACABRA.
WELL,
IF IT IS,
THEN WHAT KILLED IT?
WELL, PROBABLY
WHATEVER LEFT THIS.
PARTIAL PRINT,
BUT IT'S A START.
5 DIGITS.
SEE THE WEIGHT
ON THE BALL OF THE FOOT?
YEAH, BUT THAT'S NOT
HOW A CHUPA WOULD MOVE.
I DON'T KNOW.
EXCEPT FOR THOSE DEEP RIDGES,
IT LOOKS ALMOST HUMAN.
SO YOU THINK
IT COULD BE A HOAX?
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE
ALWAYS SAY.
NOBODY HAS ANY IMAGINATION
ANYMORE.
IT DRIVES ME--
BOB,
NOTHING IS CONCLUSIVE YET.
WE JUST
KEEP ON LOOKING.
YEAH.
YEAH.
OKAY,
OKAY.
I FOUND TRACES
OF SEMI-DIGESTED CAPYBARA
IN THE INTESTINES.
JEEZ,
NO WONDER HE DIED.
SO WE'VE GOT
OUR RODENT KILLER.
YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT,
BUT I CAN'T CONFIRM WHAT IT IS.
IT MIGHT BE EL CHUPA
BUT MATT, ALL I GOT IS PIECES;
I WISH I HAD THE HEAD,
I'D REALLY LOVE TO SEE
THOSE FANGS.
I DID FIND THIS.
3 GOOD SKIN SAMPLES
UNDER THE CLAW.
FROM THE ATTACKER?
YEAH,
IT HAS TO BE.
GET THIS,
THE SAMPLES
HAVE SCALES.
SO WHAT IS IT?
I'D SAY
IT'S SOME KIND OF CRYPTID.
PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN CROSSBREED
OF DIFFERENT SPECIES.
BASED ON
THE FOOTPRINT,
I'D SAY
SOME KIND OF APE-LIKE CREATURE.
WITH REPTILIAN SCALES?
COME ON, COOP,
MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
THE SCALES
HAVE A HARLEQUIN PATTERN.
A HARLEQUIN?
AN INTERLOCKING
DIAMOND SHAPE.
MATT,
ANOTHER SIGHTING
LESS THAN 5 MILES
FROM HERE.
WHEN;
THIS MORNING.
A WOMAN CLAIMS
SHE SAW A LARGE REPTILE
IN THE WOODS.
I'M ON MY WAY
TO SEE HER.
YOU SEE?
COOP, IT'S A SIGHTING,
IT COULD BE ANYTHING.
CASE MANAGER'S UPDATEw
PRAEGER RECORDING.
DR. COOPER CONTINUES
TO EXAMINE
THE REMAINS
OF WHAT MAY BE A CHUPACABRA.
BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT KILLED IT.
LINDSAY DONNER HAS MET WITH
LOCAL RESIDENT, JULIE KINDLER,
WHO UNFORTUNATELY, DIDN'T GET
A CLEAR VIEW OF THE CREATURE.
PRAEGER OUT.
YOU KNOW, WE GET CALLS LIKE THIS
ALL THE TIME.
PEOPLE REPORTING OUR ANIMALS
LOOSE IN THE WOODS.
SO I JUST SPENT
AN HOUR OF MY TIME
TALKING TO SOMEONE
ABOUT AN IMAGINARY GIANT LIZARD.
ARE YOU SURE NONE
OF YOUR ANIMALS ARE MISSING?
I'M POSITIVE,
WE'VE NEVER HAD ANY ESCAPES.
BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP
THE SIGHTINGS.
ALL THE HIGH TECH EQUIPMENT
IN THE WORLD
IS NOT GONNA CATCH
SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
WE HAVE 2 DEAD,
REAL ANIMALS.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANY MORE,
DO YOU?
YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT A FUNDRAISER
TO PREPARE FOR.
I NEED YOU ALL OFF THE PROPERTY
BY THE END OF THE DAY.
VISUALS ON LINE.
GOOD.
HEY, IT'S MY FAVOURITE,
IT'S "THE AXON SHOW".
I'LL TWEAK IT A LITTLE MORE,
SEE IF I CAN GET A BETTER RANGE.
HOW CAN YOU COVER
SUCH A LARGE AREA?
THE THERMAL SENSORS
WILL TRIGGER THE CAMERAS.
STILL.
I'D LIKE ANOTHER 50 CAMERAS
BUT MAYBE WE'LL GET LUCKY.
I'LL HEAD OUT WITH THE THERMAL
TRACKER AND SEE WHAT HEATS UP.
BE CAREFUL,
PETER.
THANK YOU;
OFF YOU GO.
CAN'T WE GET THE GAME
ON THIS?
*
NOTHING.
I GOT
A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.
*
*
I'M PICKING UP SOMETHING
INSIDE OF 30 METRES.
IT'S CLOSING FAST;
20.
10.
5.
*
DAMN IT.
I LOST HIM.
I LOST HIM.
DID YOU CATCH THAT?
YEP, COME ON BACK IN,
PETER.
YEAH.
IT HAD TO BE SPRINTING
LIKE DONOVAN BAILEY
FOR THE THERMAL TO LOSE IT
THAT QUICKLY.
BUT HE HAD TO BE HUMANOID; HE
WAS WALKING UPRIGHT ON 2 LEGS.
A FEW MONTHS AGO#A I FOUND SOME
TRACKS RIGHT HERE IN THE WOODS.
1st, I THOUGHT
IT WAS THE CHUPACABRA
BUT IN RETROSPECT PERHAPS
IT WAS THE HARLEQUIN CRYPTID.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
MENTION THIS BEFORE?
UM--
WELL,
I FELT THAT UM--
ACCORDING TO
O.S.I.R. STANDARDS
THERE ACTUALLY
WASN'T ENOUGH EVIDENCE.
THERE STILL ISN'T.
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'VE CAUGHT
THE EASTER BUNNY.
NO,
I'D LIKE TO FOLLOW THIS UP
AS PART OF
THE INVESTIGATION.
MATT,
I DID SEE SOMETHING.
ALRIGHT.
*
SO OUR HARLEQUIN
WAS A BI-PED, RIGHT?
DEFINITELY.
BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN RIDGES
LIKE THIS BEFORE.
NO AND THE SKIN IS SCALY
AND BUMPY LIKE A LIZARD.
YEAH, I KNOW;
LISTEN, BASED ON THE--
WHAT'LL I DO
WITH YOU?
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IT WEIGHS;
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
75 AND 90 KILOS;
YEAH,
BY REPTILE STANDARDS
THAT'S NOT EXTREME.
A KOMODO DRAGON
WEIGHS 300 POUNDS.
RIGHT.
I THINK
WE'RE ONTO SOMETHING.
I KNOW IT.
I KNOW IT!
BUT LISTEN,
IS IT THE ONLY ONE?
AND WHERE
DID IT COME FROM?
YEAH.
JUST IMAGINE,
THERE YOU ARE,
YOU'RE ALONE
IN THE WOODS.
A LOST CREATURE.
NO FRIENDS.
*
NO ONE EVEN KNOWS
YOU EXIST.
*
STUEY LIED TO US ONCE.
HE COULD BE WALKING AROUND IN
A LIZARD SUIT FOR ALL WE KNOW.
MATT,
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
BOB TAKES HIS JOB SERIOUSLY,
RIGHT?
VERY.
MAYBE STUEY'S
JUST MESSING WITH HIS HEAD.
I THINK BOB'S
BEEN MESSING WITH OUR HEAD.
HE SAYS THE CREATURE'S A LIZARD,
RIGHT?
I PICKED UP A HEAT READING
FROM A WARM-BLOODED ANIMAL.
WHATEVER IT IS,
IT'S NOT A REPTILE.
COOP,
UM--
WE DON'T NEED BOB'S HELP
ANYMORE.
WHY NOT,
HE KNOWS HIS SCIENCE?
THIS IS
A CLOSED INVESTIGATION, NOW.
WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.
SO HE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT,
SO WHAT?
I MEAN, YOU THINK
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T FIT IN
HE'S GOT NOTHING
TO CONTRIBUTE.
HE'S NOT
A MEMBER OF MY TEAM.
RIGHT.
DESPITE THE FACT
HE'S GOT THE EXPERTISE WE NEED,
HE'S AN OUTSIDER.
WHO I CAN'T BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR.
ARE YOU GONNA TELL HIM
OR AM I?
NO, OH NO,
LET ME.
I'LL BREAK HIS HEART.
I'LL FOLLOW
YOUR LEAD.
I'LL DO ANYTHING--
I'LL STAY
OUT OF THE WAY.
I WON'T BOTHER
ANYONE.
I JUST WANNA--
BOB,
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE
IF IT WASN'T FOR ME.
I KNOW THAT.
I KNOW AND I APPRECIATE
YOU CALLING US IN.
THANKS A LOT,
BOB.
THANKS VERY MUCH BOB.
YOU CAN GO BACK
TO CLEANING CAGES.
LET THE REAL SCIENTIST
DO THEIR WORK.
IS THAT IT?
COME ON,
BOB.
I SWEAR,
YOUR CONTRIBUTION
WILL BE RECOGNIZED
IF WE EVER DOCUMENT
THIS CREATURE.
YEAH,
RIGHT.
IN A FOOTNOTE
ON SOMEONE ELSE'S PAPER, RIGHT?
*
*
I ASKED YOU TO LEAVE
BY THE END OF THE DAY.
TRY AND UNDERSTAND
HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.
WE'RE VERY CLOSE
TO A BREAKTHROUGH.
LOOK, I DON'T CARE,
ALRIGHT?
WHAT ABOUT BOB?
HE TOLD ME YOU GUYS WERE OKAY;
NOW HE TELLS ME YOU DITCHED HIM.
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT BOB.
BUT IT'S
OUT OF MY HANDS.
LOOK--
TRUST ME, WE ARE TRYING TO WRAP
THIS UP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
NO, NO, NO,
YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH TIME.
IF YOU'RE NOT OUT OF HERE
BY NOON TOMORROW,
I'M FILING
TRESPASSING CHARGES.
UNDERSTOOD.
COOPER.
COOPER!
I JUST SAW IT;
I JUST SAW IT!
WHAT DID YOU SEE?
THE HARLEQUIN!
WHERE IS IT?
IT'S IN THE WOODS.
RIGHT HERE.
I SAW IT
FROM AFAR.
I DIDN'T GET
A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT IT.
DID IT WALK UPRIGHT?
YES.
IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT--
LOOK, COOP, I GOTTA APOLOGIZE
TO YOU FOR YESTERDAY.
NO REALLY,
MY BEHAVIOR WAS--
IT'S NOT NECESSARY.
I THINK
IT'S A LITTLE FURTHER.
OH, MY GOD.
*
OH NO.
*
L.Q. FOUND SOME SKIN SAMPLES
UNDERNEATH HIS FINGERNAILS.
WHAT WAS HE DOING
OUT HERE?
I DON'T KNOW, MATT;
HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.
IT LOOKS LIKE
THE BODY WAS DRAGGED HERE.
STUEY,
HIS NAME IS STUEY.
I KNOW,
I'M SORRY.
YOU KNOW, THE GROUND AROUND HERE
IS PRETTY SOFT
THERE MIGHT BE SOME FOOTPRINTS
THAT THE HARLEQUIN LEFT.
WHY DIDN'T PETER'S HEAT SENSORS
PICK IT UP?
I DON'T KNOW, HE'S LOOKING AT
THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE NOW.
THERE'S 2 PRINTS HERE,
2 PRINTS!
STAY HERE AND TAKE MOLDS,
OKAY?
CALL DAVISON.
I WANT HER
TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE BODY.
WHAT DOES IT
FEED ON?
PLANTS, SMALL ANIMALS, LIKE
ANY OMNIVOROUS FOREST DWELLER.
WHY DID IT
KILL THE CHUPACABRA?
MAYBE THE CHUPA WAS ENCROACHING
ON IT'S TERRITORY.
THE HARLEQUIN IS NOT EXACTLY
WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS.
MATT,
WE'VE CONFIRMED THAT THE SCALES
WE TOOK FROM THE SKIN SAMPLES
ARE HUMAN,
MALE.
THAT WOULD EXPLAIN
THE AMPLIFIED HEAT READINGS.
HUMAN?
WITH SCALES?
SOME SORT
OF DISEASE?
YEAH, IT'S A RARE FORM
OF SKIN DISEASE.
ACTUALLY, IT'S WHAT'S KNOWN AS
THE HARLEQUIN FETUS.
A CHILD IS BORN DISFIGURED
WITH THICK SCALE,
IT HAS AN ARMOUR WITH
THIS HARLEQUIN PATTERN ON IT.
USUALLY,
IT'S STILLBORN.
THERE'S AN URBAN MYTH
ABOUT A DEFORMED CHILD
SO GROTESQUE
YOU CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT.
HIS PARENTS ABANDONED HIM IN
THE WOODS EXPECTING HIM TO DIE.
ONLY SOMEHOW
HE MANAGES TO SURVIVE
AND GROWS UP
IN THE WILD.
LIKE TARZAN.
OR ROMULUS AND REMUS,
TWINS RAISED BY GWOLVES.
FERAL CHILDREN
STORIES
HAVE OCCURRED
THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES.
COULD THIS BE
OUR HARLEQUIN?
A CHILD ALONE, DISFIGURED,
DISEASED, IN THE WOODS?
IT WOULDN'T SURVIVE.
WHAT IF IT DID?
*
PETER,
WAS SOMEONE IN HERE EARLIER?
I DON'T KNOW,
WHY?
I DON'T KNOW,
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
I KNOW
I PUT THESE AWAY.
MAYBE ONE OF THE TECHS
MOVED IT.
YUP,
MAYBE.
THIS LOOKS LIKE
THE SAME SKIN SAMPLE
WE FOUND
UNDER THE CHUPA'S CLAW.
WHAT IS IT,
COOP?
I HAD 3 SAMPLES
FROM THE CHUPA.
ONE'S MISSING.
HAVING FUN,
BOB?
I'M JUST CHECKING THE--
THE PRINT
FROM THE CAST
TO MAKE SURE IT MATCHES
THE ORIGINAL FOOTPRINT.
SEEN YOUR APE-LIZARD
AGAIN?
YOU KNOW,
THAT SKIN SAMPLE THAT WE FOUND
UNDER STUEY'S FINGERNAILS?
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
GREAT PROOF
IF IT HADN'T BEEN STOLEN
FROM THE LAB.
YOU BROKE THE MOST BASIC
RULE OF RESEARCH, BOB.
YOU HAVE CONTAMINATED
THIS ENTIRE INVESTIGATION.
I KNOW,
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
BUT I THOUGHT THAT--
MAYBE IF I CAME UP WITH
MORE EVIDENCE
THEN YOU WOULD
LET ME STAY--
YOU'D LET ME
STAY ON THE CASE.
STAY!
STAY ON THE CASE!
BOB,
YOU WERE NEVER ON THE CASE!
I GAVE YOU THE CHUPACABRA;
I LED IT STRAIGHT TO THE BAIT.
YOU LAID
THAT TRAIL OF BLOOD.
WAS STUEY
IN ON THIS?
HUH?
STUEY KNEW YOU SET
THE WHOLE THING UP, DIDN'T HE?
YOU KILLED STUEY.
I HAD TO.
OH, BOB.
HE KNEW, HE WAS GONNA TELL;
I COULDN'T LET HIM.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,
I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE.
IT JUST HAPPENED.
HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?
YOU'RE TURNING AGAINST ME,
NOW.
YEAH,
YOU ARE.
NO, NO.
COME ON,
BOB.
BOB,
COME ON.
NO,
YOU ARE.
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?
BOB.
YOU'RE JUST LIKE STU.
*
COOPER'S NOT ANSWERING;
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
I DID SOME CHECKING
ON HARLEQUIN BIRTHS.
THERE'S ONLY 2 ON RECORD
IN THE PAST DECADE.
QUITE
THE BUNDLE OF JOY.
ONE LIVED
TO BE 6 YEARS OLD.
NEITHER
WERE FROM AROUND HERE.
NOT ALL BIRTHS HAPPEN
IN HOSPITALS.
I SUPPOSE IF YOU
WERE GOING TO ABANDON A BABY
YOU WOULDN'T REGISTER
THE BIRTH.
BOB.
OH, HI.
YOU SEEN COOPER?
NOT SINCE
THIS MORNING.
WHY?
HE'S MISSING;
MISSING?
YEAH.
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
STICK AROUND.
I THINK WE'RE GONNA
NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS.
SURE.
OKAY;
YEAH.
ALRIGHT,
WE'LL SEE YOU.
ONE OF OUR CAMERAS
RECORDED THIS EARLIER.
SO WE KNOW
BASICALLY, WHERE TO START.
ALRIGHT,
LET'S GET GOING.
WHAT ABOUT BOB;
DO WE BRING HIM?
HE'S OF NO VALUE.
KNOWS THESE WOODS.
WE COULD USE
HIS EXPERTISE.
YEAH, ESPECIALLY
IF HE MADE THE WHOLE THING UP.
HE LOOKS AT L.Q. AS AN IDOL;
HE'D HELP FIND HIM.
YOU HOLD HIS HAND.
STICK CLOSE.
OW.
OH!
AH!
OW!
STAY
IN CLOSE CONTACT.
LET'S FIND COOPER
BEFORE THE HARLEQUIN DOES.
BOB.
*
COOPER!
COME ON, L.Q.
COOP!
MATT.
CLAIRE,
WHAT YOU GOT?
WE'VE DETERMINED
THE CAUSE OF STUEY'S DEATH.
*
BOB?
*
MATT, ANYTHING YET?
FOUND COOPER'S
CELL PHONE.
AND HIS GLASSES.
SIGNS OF A STRUGGLE?
YEAH.
I TALKED TO CLAIRE;
STUEY DIED OF BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA
BEFORE HE WAS RIPPED APART.
ANTON, IF BOB'S STILL WITH YOU
SAY "YES".
YES, MATT.
I WANT YOU
TO GO TO THE MOBILE LAB
SECURITY'S WAITING.
OKAY.
HEY,
BOB!
HE'S ON THE RUN.
*
*
L.Q., I'M SORRY.
BOB!
I'M SO SORRY.
YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE.
NO, BOB;
BOB, DON'T!
TAKE ME.
BOB?
NO.
NO.
COOP?
COOP!
THE HARLEQUIN MAN.
WHICH WAY DID HE GO,
COOP?
*
ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
I THINK
MY ANKLE'S BROKEN.
HE'S GONE.
ALL SEARCH UNITS,
WE'VE GOT A CRYTPO LOOSE
NORTH OF MARKER ONE.
WHERE ARE
MY GLASSES?
HERE.
*
YOU KNOW,
BOB WAS--
HE WAS MY FRIEND.
*
CASE MANAGER'S LOG.
PRAEGER RECORDING.
THE SEARCH FOR
WHAT WE'VE COME TO CALL
THE HARLEQUIN MAN,
CONTINUES.
THE POLICE INVESTIGATION
HAS CONFIRMED
THAT BOB
KILLED STUEY POLIN.
DR. COOPER'S RECOVERING.
PRAEGER OUT.
HAS ITS NATURAL PREDATOR.
WE'D LIKE TO BELIEVE THAT MAN
IS AT THE TOP OF THE CHAIN.
BUT CONSIDERING
THE ONGOING MUTATION
OF NUMEROUS SPECIES
ON THIS PLANET,
THE POSSIBILITY EXISTS
OF A NEW AND DEADLIER PREDATOR
TO TAKE OUR PLACE.
CASE MANAGER'S PRELIMINARY LOG.
THE UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES
SURROUNDING THE DEATH
OF ONE OF THEIR CREATURES
HAS PROMPTED THE WINDSOR
ANIMAL HOSPICE TO CONTACT US.
BASED ON THE VICTIM'S WOUNDS
DR. COOPER HAS DETERMINED
THIS INVESTIGATION
IS CRYPTOZOOLOGICAL IN NATURE.
MORE TO FOLLOW;
PRAEGER OUT.
NEW DANCE STEP,
ISADORA?
NO, I'M JUST TRYING TO ASSUME
THE POSITION OF THE ATTACKER.
HUM.
THE RARE AND ELUSIVE
DUFFLE BAG RAT.
IT'S A CAPYBARA.
FEMALE, MAYBE 5 YEARS OLD;
NATIVE TO CENTRAL AMERICA.
CAUSE OF DEATH?
YOU SEE
THESE PUNCTURE WOUNDS?
SOMETHING DRAINED THE BLOOD
FROM IT'S BODY.
*
THE WOUNDS,
THEY'RE SO DEEP.
HOW'D THE ATTACKER
GET IN?
THE DOOR
WAS WIDE OPEN.
UNLOCKED.
IT'S LIKE THE PREDATOR ATTACKED
THE CAPYBARA IN THE WATER
AND DRAGGED HER OUT
TO FINISH THE JOB.
MATT, YOU BETTER
COME HAVE A LOOK AT THIS.
*
SEE THIS?
THERE'S A TRAIL OF BLOOD FROM
THE WOODS TO THE CAPYBARA PEN.
SOMEONE'S
A MESSY EATER.
WE'LL HAVE SAMPLES READY BEFORE
COOPER'S FINISHED THE AUTOPSY.
*
SHE DIDN'T STRUGGLE.
RATS THIS SIZE HOLD UP
THE SUBWAY AT RUSH HOUR.
DESPITE THE FACT THEY'RE
THE LARGEST LIVING RODENT,
THEY'RE NOT EXACTLY
COURAGEOUS.
SHE WAS PROBABLY
TRYING TO HIDE IN THE WEEDS.
HI.
BOB,
COME ON IN.
I WANT YOU
TO MEET MATT.
MATT PRAEGER,
THIS
IS DR. BOB DALHOUSIE.
POOR,
SWEET THING.
BOB'S
OUR PRIMARY CONTACT.
HE'S
THE ASSISTANT MANAGER.
HI.
I'VE HEARD A LOT
ABOUT YOU.
ALL GOOD STUFF,
I HOPE.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING
YOU NEED,
JUST ASK.
YOU CAN START BY TELLING US
WHAT HAPPENED.
OH.
WELL,
I HEARD THE MONKEYS--
WARNING SCREAMS,
EXCITED CHATTER.
I'VE NEVER HEARD THEM
THAT WORKED UP BEFORE.
WHEN I GOT THERE
IT WAS TOO LATE.
MATT,
DID YOU SEE THESE?
LOOK, SEE THESE PUNCTURES
AT THE CEREBELLUM.
LOVELY.
TAKE A LOOK
AT THESE CIRCULAR WOUNDS
TO THE BACK,
THE NECK, THE THIGHS.
IT'S SAFE TO SAY,
IT WON'T FLOAT.
MATT, THESE PUNCTURES
ARE IDENTICAL
TO THE ONES ON THOSE GOATS
I SAW IN PUERTO RICO.
BUT DEAD GOATS
TELL NO TALES.
BUT THEY DO
PROVIDE EVIDENCE.
HEY BOB, I BROUGHT
THE PHOTOS OF THAT CASE.
GREAT.
MATT, I THINK
WE'RE ONTO A CHUPACABRA HERE.
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I THOUGHT.
WE'VE BEEN ON
EL CHUPA HUNTS BEFORE,
ARE YOU SURE?
CIRCULAR WOUNDS, PUNCTURES,
THE BLOOD SUCKING?
I THOUGHT
IT WAS SOMETHING
THAT THE O.S.I.R.
SHOULD KNOW ABOUT.
SO UM--
HOW DID EL CHUPA
GET PAST BORDER PATROL?
RECENT SIGHTINGS WOULD SUGGEST
A NORTHWARD MIGRATION.
RIGHT, AND THERE HAVE BEEN
LIVESTOCK DEATHS RECORDED
THAT ARE IDENTICAL TO CASES
WE FOUND IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
WILD DOGS,
WHAT?
NO, NO, NO, WILD DOGS
DON'T SUCK BLOOD LIKE THIS.
AND THEY RIP AND TEAR
AT FLESH.
IF EL CHUPA
PREFERS LIVESTOCK,
WHAT'S IT DOING
EATING ZOO ANIMALS?
THE CAPYBARA
IS NATIVE TO CENTRAL AMERICA.
IT'S POSSIBLE
THAT EL CHUPA
RECOGNIZED
A FAMILIAR FOOD SOURCE.
LIKE ORDERING A BIG MAC
IN PARIS, RIGHT?
MATT, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
A VERY ELUSIVE CREATURE HERE.
THERE HAVE BEEN
100's OF SIGHTINGS
BUT NO ONE'S
EVER BEEN ABLE
TO PROVE
IT'S EXISTENCE.
WHAT ARE WE DOING THEN,
COOP?
BOB?
WE'RE TRYING TO PROVE
IT'S EXISTENCE.
RIGHT.
RIGHT!
RIGHT.
THIS IS
WHAT YOU SAW?
LOOK,
I'M NO ARTIST.
I USED TO BE IN THE CIRCUS,
ACTUALLY.
REALLY?
YEAH,
I WAS 4
WHEN MY FATHER 1st PUT MY HEAD
IN THE LION'S MOUTH.
I WAS GONNA CONTINUE
THE FAMILY TRADITION.
IT WASN'T LONG AFTER THAT
MY MOTHER LEFT.
THIS LOOKS AN AWFUL LOT
LIKE PICTURES
I'VE SEEN
ON THE INTERNET.
THAT'S WHAT I SAW.
STUEY,
WHAT WERE YOU DOING OUT THERE
LAST NIGHT?
YOU KNOW,
THE USUAL,
CLEANING UP
AND STUFF.
WHAT KIND OF STUFF?
I WAS--
YES?
I WAS IN
THE TRASH DISPOSAL AREA,
JUST PAST
THE MONKEY CAGES.
I HEARD THE SCREECHING.
AND?
AND THAT THING
ALMOST TOOK MY HEAD OFF.
THEN BOBBY D.
SHOWED UP.
BOBBY D.?
BOB DALHOUSIE.
WE CALL HIM
BOBBY D.
'CAUSE THERE'S A BOB SMITH
IN MAINTENANCE.
AND HE'S BOBBY S.?
NO,
HE'S JUST BOB.
OH,
OF COURSE.
IS THIS
ALMOST OVER?
TELL ME WHAT YOU DID
WHEN YOU SAW THE CAPYBARA.
BOBBY D.
SAID NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING.
LIKE I WAS GONNA HANDLE
A DEAD RODENT.
THAT'S SOMEONE ELSE'S JOB,
FOR SURE.
STUEY'S NOT REALLY GOOD
WITH WORDS.
OR PEOPLE.
COULD BE ALL THOSE YEARS
WITH HIS HEAD IN A LION'S MOUTH.
HE TOLD YOU
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM?
WHICH PART?
YOU MEAN
ABOUT HIS MOTHER LEAVING?
YEAH.
HIS FATHER DIED
A FEW YEARS LATER.
WHEN THE CIRCUS WENT UNDER,
THE LIONS WERE TO BE DESTROYED.
MY FATHER ADOPTED THEM AND
STUEY WAS PART OF THE PACKAGE.
THAT'S SOME PACKAGE.
AROUND HERE
WE CAN USE
ALL THE HELP
WE CAN GET.
SO,
YOU TRUST HIM?
YEAH, STUEY AND I
PRACTICALLY GREW UP TOGETHER.
OOPS.
UM, DO YOU THINK HE'S TELLING
THE TRUTH ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED?
I DON'T THINK
HE'S LYING.
I MEAN, MAYBE HIS IMAGINATION
JUST T THE BEST OF HIM.
WHAT ABOUT BOB?
HE'S A GODSEND,
WILLING TO WORK FULL-TIME HOURS
AT PART-TIME PAY.
WE OPERATE ON
A PRETTY TIGHT BUDGET.
YEAH, I IMAGINE IT'S TOUGH
TO KEEP THIS PLACE GOING.
WE'RE HAVING A FUNDRAISER
IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
YOU MIGHT WANT
TO POSTPONE THAT.
LOOK AROUND YOU,
MISS DONNER,
WE NEED THE MONEY.
I'VE GOT 96 ANIMALS
DEPENDING ON ME.
I'M NOT GONNA
LET THEM STARVE.
IT WAS YOUR ASSISTANT MANAGER
WHO CALLED US IN ON THIS.
LOOK, I LIKE BOB,
ALL RIGHT?
BUT HE WORKS FOR ME.
WE'VE BEEN PLANNING THIS EVENT
FOR MONTHS.
YOU DO
WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO,
AND LET US
GET BACK TO WORK.
OKAY?
*
DON'T GET ME WRONG,
MY WORK IS IMPORTANT,
THE ANIMALS NEED ME.
BUT WHAT YOU DO,
OH!
WHAT YOU DO--
THAT WOULD BE AMAZING;
CRYPTOZOOLOGY.
YEAH,
I ENJOY IT.
ENJOY IT;
YOU'RE EXPERIENCE IS LEGENDARY:
THE PASSENGER PIGEONS,
THE--
THE--
THE GIANT FLEAS,
THE 2 YETI SIGHTINGS.
THEY WERE
SOMETHING ELSE.
COOP.
PETER,
I DON'T THINK
YOU'VE MET BOB DALHOUSIE.
BOB,
THIS IS PETER AXON.
IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU NEED,
AS I TOLD L.Q., JUST ASK.
THANKS,
WE'LL LET YOU KNOW.
OKAY.
COOP,
WE'VE GOT A 1 O'CLOCK.
OH, RIGHT,
OKAY.
CATCH YOU LATER,
BOB.
OKAY.
OH, COOP.
WE WEAR
ALMOST THE SAME GLASSES.
WOW.
YOU GOT A FAN,
COOP.
I KNOW.
HUH,
SORRY?
BYE, BYE.
BETTER LATE
THAN NEVER.
FORENSICS FOUND HAIR AND BLOOD
SAMPLES IN THE CAGE, COOP?
BOTH FROM
THE CAPYBARA.
BLOOD TRAIL?
NEXT ON MY LIST.
GOOD;
ENVIRONMENTALS?
BASELINE RESULTS ARE NORMAL,
NO ANOMALIES.
OKAY; THE HOSPICE IS NEXT TO
500 ACRES OF PARKLAND.
WE'VE GOT 3 TEAMS OF 8
SEARCHING FROM HERE
AND HERE.
PETE,
YOU COORDINATE.
THAT'S
A LOT OF GROUND.
A CHUPACABRA HUNT?
I HAVEN'T RULED THAT OUT,
BUT I'M STILL THINKING HOAX.
OUR STAR WITNESS?
STUEY POLIN;
CIRCUS BOY.
I THINK
HE'S HIDING SOMETHING.
THOSE CRAZY CARNY FOLK;
WHAT ABOUT BOB?
HE CHECKS OUT,
A Ph.D. IN--
ZOOLOGY, U.B.C.; DID
OUR UNDERGRADUATE WORK TOGETHER.
HE'S BEEN HERE FOR 2 YEARS,
CARA RAVES ABOUT HIM.
KIND TO ANIMALS?
HE LIVES IN A TRAILER
ON THE GROUNDS.
WHAT,
NO ROOM IN MOM'S BASEMENT?
HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.
THAT'S HOW US ZOOLOGISTS LIVE,
THAT'S HOW WE GET THE JOB DONE.
HE'S TOP FLIGHT,
WE SHOULD ENLIST HIS HELP.
OKAY;
MATT?
IF SOMEONE WANTED TO SET IT UP,
HE'D BE A PERFECT CANDIDATE.
A HOAX;
BOB?
NO WAY
HE'D PULL A STUNT LIKE THAT.
MAYBE
FOR THE PUBLICITY.
THIS PLACE
IS SERIOUSLY UNDER FUNDED.
HE'S WAY TOO EAGER.
SINCE WHEN DID THAT DISQUALIFY
A SCIENTIST?
ENTHUSIASM'S NOT A CRIME.
YOU HEAR THAT,
PETE?
GIVE IT A TRY, PRETEND WE'RE
LOOKING FOR SUBATOMIC PARTICLES.
ANTON, I WOULDN'T MIND
YOUR OPINION ON BOB.
SURE.
MATT,
IS THIS REALLY NECESSARY?
JUST COVERING
THE BASES.
I'LL TAKE THIS.
I BUY THE FRUITS AND VEGGIES
AT THE FARMER'S MARKET
AND THEY'RE ALL ORGANIC,
NO PESTICIDES.
DO YOU PAY FOR THE ANIMAL'S FOOD
OUT OF YOUR OWN POCKET?
JUST
THE SPECIAL TREATS.
THESE GUYS HAVE HAD A HARD TIME,
SOME OF THEM.
ABANDONED,
HUNTED, ABUSED.
THIS IS HOME
TO THEM.
YOU MUST BE VERY COMMITTED
TO YOUR WORK.
THE LEAST
I CAN DO.
SHE LIKES
THE SEEDLESS.
MEG,
SWEETIE.
NOT HUNGRY.
I BET THEY LOOK FORWARD
TO YOUR SHIFT.
I DON'T HAVE SHIFTS;
I'M HERE ALL THE TIME.
I'VE GOT TO BE.
TELL ME ABOUT STUEY,
STUEY POLIN.
STUEY'S
A GREAT GUY.
HE'S A GREAT GUY.
HE'S JUST NOT VERY GOOD
WITH ANIMALS.
IT'S JUST HIS JOB.
I GUESS YOU REALLY HAVE TO WANT
TO DO THIS.
WELL,
YEAH.
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING
HALFWAY.
YOU HAVE TO LOVE IT.
HAVE YOU SEEN
THE ORANGUTANS?
LET ME SHOW YOU.
*
*
THE MINUTE STUEY DIDN'T SHOW UP
FOR OUR 2nd INTERVIEW,
I KNEW
SOMETHING WAS UP.
*
HEY!
WHAT'S IN THE BAGS?
THEY SAID
IT'S BE OKAY.
WHO'S THEY?
WHOEVER
PUT YOU UP TO THIS?
I NEEDED
THE MONEY.
WHAT ABOUT THIS?
WHO TOLD YOU
TO DRAW THIS?
NOBODY.
THAT'S
WHAT I SAW.
I DON'T WANT
TROUBLE.
TOO LATE.
OH.
DUNG.
WHAT?
DUNG!
THE GUY GIVES ME
50 BUCKS A BAG.
GOOD MONEY
FOR A LOAD OF CRAP.
MOUNTAIN LION
MANURE.
WELL.
IT KEEPS DEER
OUT OF YOUR GARDEN.
I DIDN'T
MAKE ANYTHING UP.
THERE'S SOMETHING
OUT THERE.
*
THIS REMINDS ME
OF THE HUNTLEY EXPEDITION.
THEY HAD 20 SCIENTISTS,
20 OF US HOLDING OUR BREATH,
WAITING FOR SOME SIGN
OF NESSIE.
NOTHING, NOTHING,
NOT EVEN A RIPPLE ON THE LAKE.
I KNOW IT, SHE'LL TEASE YOU
LIKE THAT EVERY TIME.
WHAT IS IT?
DEER.
I APPLIED
FOR A GRANT
TO STUDY THAT NEW SPECIES
OF DEER THEY FOUND IN VIETNAM.
I DIDN'T GET IT.
POLITICAL,
IT'S ALL POLITICAL.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN YOU THINK
OF ALL THE THINGS OUT THERE
JUST WAITING
TO BE DISCOVERED.
YOU KNOW,
IT'S LIKE MIND BOGGLING.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT
ALL WORTHWHILE.
WANT SOME WATER?
IF IT IS WATER.
OF COURSE
IT'S WATER.
HOW DID YOU BECOME A MEMBER
OF THE O.S.I.R.?
I WAS RECRUITED.
HEY, YOU REMEMBER
BERNIE DOLMAN?
YEAH.
HE BROUGHT ME IN.
RIGHT.
SO IF SOMEONE WANTED
TO BECOME A MEMBER,
HOW WOULD THAT HAPPEN?
I DOESN'T
EXACTLY WORK THAT WAY, BOB.
YOU DON'T
JUST BECOME A MEMBER.
YOU GOTTA BE
RECRUITED.
YEAH, RIGHT.
BUT HEY, IT DOESN'T HURT
TO KNOW SOMEONE ON THE INSIDE.
WHAT WAS THAT?
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
*
*
IT LOOKS LIKE HAIR.
HEY, LOOK.
LOOK.
*
IT COULD BE
PART OF A DEER.
YEAH,
OR A WING.
IT'S A WING.
BOB.
WHAT?
*
WHATEVER THAT IS
THERE'S
NOT MUCH LEFT OF IT.
NO.
AND WHATEVER DID THIS
IS STILL OUT THERE.
YEAH.
THIS COULD BE
OUR CHUPACABRA.
WELL,
IF IT IS,
THEN WHAT KILLED IT?
WELL, PROBABLY
WHATEVER LEFT THIS.
PARTIAL PRINT,
BUT IT'S A START.
5 DIGITS.
SEE THE WEIGHT
ON THE BALL OF THE FOOT?
YEAH, BUT THAT'S NOT
HOW A CHUPA WOULD MOVE.
I DON'T KNOW.
EXCEPT FOR THOSE DEEP RIDGES,
IT LOOKS ALMOST HUMAN.
SO YOU THINK
IT COULD BE A HOAX?
THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE
ALWAYS SAY.
NOBODY HAS ANY IMAGINATION
ANYMORE.
IT DRIVES ME--
BOB,
NOTHING IS CONCLUSIVE YET.
WE JUST
KEEP ON LOOKING.
YEAH.
YEAH.
OKAY,
OKAY.
I FOUND TRACES
OF SEMI-DIGESTED CAPYBARA
IN THE INTESTINES.
JEEZ,
NO WONDER HE DIED.
SO WE'VE GOT
OUR RODENT KILLER.
YEAH, IT LOOKS LIKE IT,
BUT I CAN'T CONFIRM WHAT IT IS.
IT MIGHT BE EL CHUPA
BUT MATT, ALL I GOT IS PIECES;
I WISH I HAD THE HEAD,
I'D REALLY LOVE TO SEE
THOSE FANGS.
I DID FIND THIS.
3 GOOD SKIN SAMPLES
UNDER THE CLAW.
FROM THE ATTACKER?
YEAH,
IT HAS TO BE.
GET THIS,
THE SAMPLES
HAVE SCALES.
SO WHAT IS IT?
I'D SAY
IT'S SOME KIND OF CRYPTID.
PREVIOUSLY UNKNOWN CROSSBREED
OF DIFFERENT SPECIES.
BASED ON
THE FOOTPRINT,
I'D SAY
SOME KIND OF APE-LIKE CREATURE.
WITH REPTILIAN SCALES?
COME ON, COOP,
MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
THE SCALES
HAVE A HARLEQUIN PATTERN.
A HARLEQUIN?
AN INTERLOCKING
DIAMOND SHAPE.
MATT,
ANOTHER SIGHTING
LESS THAN 5 MILES
FROM HERE.
WHEN;
THIS MORNING.
A WOMAN CLAIMS
SHE SAW A LARGE REPTILE
IN THE WOODS.
I'M ON MY WAY
TO SEE HER.
YOU SEE?
COOP, IT'S A SIGHTING,
IT COULD BE ANYTHING.
CASE MANAGER'S UPDATEw
PRAEGER RECORDING.
DR. COOPER CONTINUES
TO EXAMINE
THE REMAINS
OF WHAT MAY BE A CHUPACABRA.
BUT WE STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT KILLED IT.
LINDSAY DONNER HAS MET WITH
LOCAL RESIDENT, JULIE KINDLER,
WHO UNFORTUNATELY, DIDN'T GET
A CLEAR VIEW OF THE CREATURE.
PRAEGER OUT.
YOU KNOW, WE GET CALLS LIKE THIS
ALL THE TIME.
PEOPLE REPORTING OUR ANIMALS
LOOSE IN THE WOODS.
SO I JUST SPENT
AN HOUR OF MY TIME
TALKING TO SOMEONE
ABOUT AN IMAGINARY GIANT LIZARD.
ARE YOU SURE NONE
OF YOUR ANIMALS ARE MISSING?
I'M POSITIVE,
WE'VE NEVER HAD ANY ESCAPES.
BUT THAT DOESN'T STOP
THE SIGHTINGS.
ALL THE HIGH TECH EQUIPMENT
IN THE WORLD
IS NOT GONNA CATCH
SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST.
WE HAVE 2 DEAD,
REAL ANIMALS.
I DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANY MORE,
DO YOU?
YOU KNOW, I'VE GOT A FUNDRAISER
TO PREPARE FOR.
I NEED YOU ALL OFF THE PROPERTY
BY THE END OF THE DAY.
VISUALS ON LINE.
GOOD.
HEY, IT'S MY FAVOURITE,
IT'S "THE AXON SHOW".
I'LL TWEAK IT A LITTLE MORE,
SEE IF I CAN GET A BETTER RANGE.
HOW CAN YOU COVER
SUCH A LARGE AREA?
THE THERMAL SENSORS
WILL TRIGGER THE CAMERAS.
STILL.
I'D LIKE ANOTHER 50 CAMERAS
BUT MAYBE WE'LL GET LUCKY.
I'LL HEAD OUT WITH THE THERMAL
TRACKER AND SEE WHAT HEATS UP.
BE CAREFUL,
PETER.
THANK YOU;
OFF YOU GO.
CAN'T WE GET THE GAME
ON THIS?
*
NOTHING.
I GOT
A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING.
*
*
I'M PICKING UP SOMETHING
INSIDE OF 30 METRES.
IT'S CLOSING FAST;
20.
10.
5.
*
DAMN IT.
I LOST HIM.
I LOST HIM.
DID YOU CATCH THAT?
YEP, COME ON BACK IN,
PETER.
YEAH.
IT HAD TO BE SPRINTING
LIKE DONOVAN BAILEY
FOR THE THERMAL TO LOSE IT
THAT QUICKLY.
BUT HE HAD TO BE HUMANOID; HE
WAS WALKING UPRIGHT ON 2 LEGS.
A FEW MONTHS AGO#A I FOUND SOME
TRACKS RIGHT HERE IN THE WOODS.
1st, I THOUGHT
IT WAS THE CHUPACABRA
BUT IN RETROSPECT PERHAPS
IT WAS THE HARLEQUIN CRYPTID.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
MENTION THIS BEFORE?
UM--
WELL,
I FELT THAT UM--
ACCORDING TO
O.S.I.R. STANDARDS
THERE ACTUALLY
WASN'T ENOUGH EVIDENCE.
THERE STILL ISN'T.
LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU'VE CAUGHT
THE EASTER BUNNY.
NO,
I'D LIKE TO FOLLOW THIS UP
AS PART OF
THE INVESTIGATION.
MATT,
I DID SEE SOMETHING.
ALRIGHT.
*
SO OUR HARLEQUIN
WAS A BI-PED, RIGHT?
DEFINITELY.
BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN RIDGES
LIKE THIS BEFORE.
NO AND THE SKIN IS SCALY
AND BUMPY LIKE A LIZARD.
YEAH, I KNOW;
LISTEN, BASED ON THE--
WHAT'LL I DO
WITH YOU?
WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IT WEIGHS;
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
75 AND 90 KILOS;
YEAH,
BY REPTILE STANDARDS
THAT'S NOT EXTREME.
A KOMODO DRAGON
WEIGHS 300 POUNDS.
RIGHT.
I THINK
WE'RE ONTO SOMETHING.
I KNOW IT.
I KNOW IT!
BUT LISTEN,
IS IT THE ONLY ONE?
AND WHERE
DID IT COME FROM?
YEAH.
JUST IMAGINE,
THERE YOU ARE,
YOU'RE ALONE
IN THE WOODS.
A LOST CREATURE.
NO FRIENDS.
*
NO ONE EVEN KNOWS
YOU EXIST.
*
STUEY LIED TO US ONCE.
HE COULD BE WALKING AROUND IN
A LIZARD SUIT FOR ALL WE KNOW.
MATT,
WHY WOULD HE DO THAT?
BOB TAKES HIS JOB SERIOUSLY,
RIGHT?
VERY.
MAYBE STUEY'S
JUST MESSING WITH HIS HEAD.
I THINK BOB'S
BEEN MESSING WITH OUR HEAD.
HE SAYS THE CREATURE'S A LIZARD,
RIGHT?
I PICKED UP A HEAT READING
FROM A WARM-BLOODED ANIMAL.
WHATEVER IT IS,
IT'S NOT A REPTILE.
COOP,
UM--
WE DON'T NEED BOB'S HELP
ANYMORE.
WHY NOT,
HE KNOWS HIS SCIENCE?
THIS IS
A CLOSED INVESTIGATION, NOW.
WE DON'T KNOW
WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH.
SO HE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT,
SO WHAT?
I MEAN, YOU THINK
BECAUSE HE DOESN'T FIT IN
HE'S GOT NOTHING
TO CONTRIBUTE.
HE'S NOT
A MEMBER OF MY TEAM.
RIGHT.
DESPITE THE FACT
HE'S GOT THE EXPERTISE WE NEED,
HE'S AN OUTSIDER.
WHO I CAN'T BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR.
ARE YOU GONNA TELL HIM
OR AM I?
NO, OH NO,
LET ME.
I'LL BREAK HIS HEART.
I'LL FOLLOW
YOUR LEAD.
I'LL DO ANYTHING--
I'LL STAY
OUT OF THE WAY.
I WON'T BOTHER
ANYONE.
I JUST WANNA--
BOB,
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
YOU WOULDN'T EVEN BE HERE
IF IT WASN'T FOR ME.
I KNOW THAT.
I KNOW AND I APPRECIATE
YOU CALLING US IN.
THANKS A LOT,
BOB.
THANKS VERY MUCH BOB.
YOU CAN GO BACK
TO CLEANING CAGES.
LET THE REAL SCIENTIST
DO THEIR WORK.
IS THAT IT?
COME ON,
BOB.
I SWEAR,
YOUR CONTRIBUTION
WILL BE RECOGNIZED
IF WE EVER DOCUMENT
THIS CREATURE.
YEAH,
RIGHT.
IN A FOOTNOTE
ON SOMEONE ELSE'S PAPER, RIGHT?
*
*
I ASKED YOU TO LEAVE
BY THE END OF THE DAY.
TRY AND UNDERSTAND
HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.
WE'RE VERY CLOSE
TO A BREAKTHROUGH.
LOOK, I DON'T CARE,
ALRIGHT?
WHAT ABOUT BOB?
HE TOLD ME YOU GUYS WERE OKAY;
NOW HE TELLS ME YOU DITCHED HIM.
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT BOB.
BUT IT'S
OUT OF MY HANDS.
LOOK--
TRUST ME, WE ARE TRYING TO WRAP
THIS UP AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
NO, NO, NO,
YOU'VE HAD ENOUGH TIME.
IF YOU'RE NOT OUT OF HERE
BY NOON TOMORROW,
I'M FILING
TRESPASSING CHARGES.
UNDERSTOOD.
COOPER.
COOPER!
I JUST SAW IT;
I JUST SAW IT!
WHAT DID YOU SEE?
THE HARLEQUIN!
WHERE IS IT?
IT'S IN THE WOODS.
RIGHT HERE.
I SAW IT
FROM AFAR.
I DIDN'T GET
A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT IT.
DID IT WALK UPRIGHT?
YES.
IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT--
LOOK, COOP, I GOTTA APOLOGIZE
TO YOU FOR YESTERDAY.
NO REALLY,
MY BEHAVIOR WAS--
IT'S NOT NECESSARY.
I THINK
IT'S A LITTLE FURTHER.
OH, MY GOD.
*
OH NO.
*
L.Q. FOUND SOME SKIN SAMPLES
UNDERNEATH HIS FINGERNAILS.
WHAT WAS HE DOING
OUT HERE?
I DON'T KNOW, MATT;
HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.
IT LOOKS LIKE
THE BODY WAS DRAGGED HERE.
STUEY,
HIS NAME IS STUEY.
I KNOW,
I'M SORRY.
YOU KNOW, THE GROUND AROUND HERE
IS PRETTY SOFT
THERE MIGHT BE SOME FOOTPRINTS
THAT THE HARLEQUIN LEFT.
WHY DIDN'T PETER'S HEAT SENSORS
PICK IT UP?
I DON'T KNOW, HE'S LOOKING AT
THE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE NOW.
THERE'S 2 PRINTS HERE,
2 PRINTS!
STAY HERE AND TAKE MOLDS,
OKAY?
CALL DAVISON.
I WANT HER
TO HAVE A LOOK AT THE BODY.
WHAT DOES IT
FEED ON?
PLANTS, SMALL ANIMALS, LIKE
ANY OMNIVOROUS FOREST DWELLER.
WHY DID IT
KILL THE CHUPACABRA?
MAYBE THE CHUPA WAS ENCROACHING
ON IT'S TERRITORY.
THE HARLEQUIN IS NOT EXACTLY
WHAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS.
MATT,
WE'VE CONFIRMED THAT THE SCALES
WE TOOK FROM THE SKIN SAMPLES
ARE HUMAN,
MALE.
THAT WOULD EXPLAIN
THE AMPLIFIED HEAT READINGS.
HUMAN?
WITH SCALES?
SOME SORT
OF DISEASE?
YEAH, IT'S A RARE FORM
OF SKIN DISEASE.
ACTUALLY, IT'S WHAT'S KNOWN AS
THE HARLEQUIN FETUS.
A CHILD IS BORN DISFIGURED
WITH THICK SCALE,
IT HAS AN ARMOUR WITH
THIS HARLEQUIN PATTERN ON IT.
USUALLY,
IT'S STILLBORN.
THERE'S AN URBAN MYTH
ABOUT A DEFORMED CHILD
SO GROTESQUE
YOU CAN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT.
HIS PARENTS ABANDONED HIM IN
THE WOODS EXPECTING HIM TO DIE.
ONLY SOMEHOW
HE MANAGES TO SURVIVE
AND GROWS UP
IN THE WILD.
LIKE TARZAN.
OR ROMULUS AND REMUS,
TWINS RAISED BY GWOLVES.
FERAL CHILDREN
STORIES
HAVE OCCURRED
THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES.
COULD THIS BE
OUR HARLEQUIN?
A CHILD ALONE, DISFIGURED,
DISEASED, IN THE WOODS?
IT WOULDN'T SURVIVE.
WHAT IF IT DID?
*
PETER,
WAS SOMEONE IN HERE EARLIER?
I DON'T KNOW,
WHY?
I DON'T KNOW,
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
I KNOW
I PUT THESE AWAY.
MAYBE ONE OF THE TECHS
MOVED IT.
YUP,
MAYBE.
THIS LOOKS LIKE
THE SAME SKIN SAMPLE
WE FOUND
UNDER THE CHUPA'S CLAW.
WHAT IS IT,
COOP?
I HAD 3 SAMPLES
FROM THE CHUPA.
ONE'S MISSING.
HAVING FUN,
BOB?
I'M JUST CHECKING THE--
THE PRINT
FROM THE CAST
TO MAKE SURE IT MATCHES
THE ORIGINAL FOOTPRINT.
SEEN YOUR APE-LIZARD
AGAIN?
YOU KNOW,
THAT SKIN SAMPLE THAT WE FOUND
UNDER STUEY'S FINGERNAILS?
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
GREAT PROOF
IF IT HADN'T BEEN STOLEN
FROM THE LAB.
YOU BROKE THE MOST BASIC
RULE OF RESEARCH, BOB.
YOU HAVE CONTAMINATED
THIS ENTIRE INVESTIGATION.
I KNOW,
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
BUT I THOUGHT THAT--
MAYBE IF I CAME UP WITH
MORE EVIDENCE
THEN YOU WOULD
LET ME STAY--
YOU'D LET ME
STAY ON THE CASE.
STAY!
STAY ON THE CASE!
BOB,
YOU WERE NEVER ON THE CASE!
I GAVE YOU THE CHUPACABRA;
I LED IT STRAIGHT TO THE BAIT.
YOU LAID
THAT TRAIL OF BLOOD.
WAS STUEY
IN ON THIS?
HUH?
STUEY KNEW YOU SET
THE WHOLE THING UP, DIDN'T HE?
YOU KILLED STUEY.
I HAD TO.
OH, BOB.
HE KNEW, HE WAS GONNA TELL;
I COULDN'T LET HIM.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,
I DIDN'T DO IT ON PURPOSE.
IT JUST HAPPENED.
HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?
YOU'RE TURNING AGAINST ME,
NOW.
YEAH,
YOU ARE.
NO, NO.
COME ON,
BOB.
BOB,
COME ON.
NO,
YOU ARE.
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE?
BOB.
YOU'RE JUST LIKE STU.
*
COOPER'S NOT ANSWERING;
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
I DID SOME CHECKING
ON HARLEQUIN BIRTHS.
THERE'S ONLY 2 ON RECORD
IN THE PAST DECADE.
QUITE
THE BUNDLE OF JOY.
ONE LIVED
TO BE 6 YEARS OLD.
NEITHER
WERE FROM AROUND HERE.
NOT ALL BIRTHS HAPPEN
IN HOSPITALS.
I SUPPOSE IF YOU
WERE GOING TO ABANDON A BABY
YOU WOULDN'T REGISTER
THE BIRTH.
BOB.
OH, HI.
YOU SEEN COOPER?
NOT SINCE
THIS MORNING.
WHY?
HE'S MISSING;
MISSING?
YEAH.
WELL, WHY DON'T YOU
STICK AROUND.
I THINK WE'RE GONNA
NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS.
SURE.
OKAY;
YEAH.
ALRIGHT,
WE'LL SEE YOU.
ONE OF OUR CAMERAS
RECORDED THIS EARLIER.
SO WE KNOW
BASICALLY, WHERE TO START.
ALRIGHT,
LET'S GET GOING.
WHAT ABOUT BOB;
DO WE BRING HIM?
HE'S OF NO VALUE.
KNOWS THESE WOODS.
WE COULD USE
HIS EXPERTISE.
YEAH, ESPECIALLY
IF HE MADE THE WHOLE THING UP.
HE LOOKS AT L.Q. AS AN IDOL;
HE'D HELP FIND HIM.
YOU HOLD HIS HAND.
STICK CLOSE.
OW.
OH!
AH!
OW!
STAY
IN CLOSE CONTACT.
LET'S FIND COOPER
BEFORE THE HARLEQUIN DOES.
BOB.
*
COOPER!
COME ON, L.Q.
COOP!
MATT.
CLAIRE,
WHAT YOU GOT?
WE'VE DETERMINED
THE CAUSE OF STUEY'S DEATH.
*
BOB?
*
MATT, ANYTHING YET?
FOUND COOPER'S
CELL PHONE.
AND HIS GLASSES.
SIGNS OF A STRUGGLE?
YEAH.
I TALKED TO CLAIRE;
STUEY DIED OF BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA
BEFORE HE WAS RIPPED APART.
ANTON, IF BOB'S STILL WITH YOU
SAY "YES".
YES, MATT.
I WANT YOU
TO GO TO THE MOBILE LAB
SECURITY'S WAITING.
OKAY.
HEY,
BOB!
HE'S ON THE RUN.
*
*
L.Q., I'M SORRY.
BOB!
I'M SO SORRY.
YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE.
NO, BOB;
BOB, DON'T!
TAKE ME.
BOB?
NO.
NO.
COOP?
COOP!
THE HARLEQUIN MAN.
WHICH WAY DID HE GO,
COOP?
*
ARE YOU ALRIGHT?
I THINK
MY ANKLE'S BROKEN.
HE'S GONE.
ALL SEARCH UNITS,
WE'VE GOT A CRYTPO LOOSE
NORTH OF MARKER ONE.
WHERE ARE
MY GLASSES?
HERE.
*
YOU KNOW,
BOB WAS--
HE WAS MY FRIEND.
*
CASE MANAGER'S LOG.
PRAEGER RECORDING.
THE SEARCH FOR
WHAT WE'VE COME TO CALL
THE HARLEQUIN MAN,
CONTINUES.
THE POLICE INVESTIGATION
HAS CONFIRMED
THAT BOB
KILLED STUEY POLIN.
DR. COOPER'S RECOVERING.
PRAEGER OUT.
