PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal (1996–2000): Season 3, Episode 7 - Little People - full transcript
The troubled, nerdy, young adopted brother of Matt's daughter's best friend is targeted by tiny but vicious forest trolls. Or are they just a figment of his imagination? Also, Matt's daughter falls for Peter.
PREVIOUSLY
ON PSI FACTOR.
PETE,
THIS IS MY DAUGHTER, DANA.
YOU REALLY DO EXIST.
HI I'M PETER,
NICE TO MEET YOU.
HOW'S SHE DOING?
WE'RE NOT EXACTLY
HAVING HEART TO HEARTS,
YOU SHOULD ASK HER
YOURSELF.
WHAT DID YOU
RUN AWAY FROM;
HOME.
*
DID YOUR MOM MAKE YOU
EAT YOUR BROCCOLI OR SOMETHING?
I WAS THINKING THAT MAYBE
I COULD COME LIVE WITH YOU.
*
SHHH!
SHHH, YOU'RE GONNA GET US
SO BUSTED.
I LIKED THE TEQUILA
WAY BETTER.
AFTER MY MOM PASSES OUT
TOMORROW NIGHT,
I'M GONNA MAKE US MARTINIS
TO DIE FOR.
PASS ME THE GIN.
HEY, TAKE IT EASY.
THAT STUFF'S
EVEN WORSE.
SHHH!
CAMERON.
THAT LITTLE WEASEL
IS SPYING ON US.
CAMERON, YOU TELL AND YOUR DEAD;
YOU HEAR ME?
WHAT IS HE DOING
IN THERE?
*
*
ELEOA, WE7LA3AoS
DIVERSE CULTURES
FROM AROUND THE GLOBE
SHARE MYTHS AND LEGENDS WHICH
SEEM TO HAVE A COMMON ELEMENT.
ARE THESE SO-CALLED
FAIRY TALES
MERELY THE PRODUCT
OF THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS?
OR IS THERE
AN ACTUAL LINK
THAT BINDS FANTASIES OF THE PAST
TO OUR EVERYDAY REALITY?
THANKS DAD, FOR COMING;
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
THAT'S OKAY.
IT HAPPENED IN HERE.
THE BED MOVED
RIGHT ACROSS THE ROOM.
I MADE THEM
LEAVE EVERYTHING AS IT WAS
SO THE EVENT SITE
WOULD BE PRESERVED.
THE EVENT SITE?
YOU CATCH ON FAST.
YOU DON'T
REMEMBER ANYTHING?
I TOLD YOU,
I WAS ASLEEP.
WERE YOU DRINKING
LAST NIGHT?
NO.
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT.
CAN I GET YOU
A DRINK?
A LITTLE EARLY
TO PUT THE HAPPY IN HAPPY-HOUR,
DON'T YOU THINK;
COFFEE, THEN?
THAT'S FINE,
THANKS.
WHAT IS IT?
THEY LOOK LIKE
SCRATCHES.
HI GUYS,
I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS.
NO PROBLEM,
IS DANA ALRIGHT?
SHE'S JUST
A LITTLE SHAKEN UP.
WHEN DOES
THE MOBILE LAB GET HERE?
WHEN I'M SURE IT'S WORTH CALLING
THIS AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION.
SINCE WHEN DO WE DO
ANY OTHER KIND?
SINCE NOW.
*
THIS WAY,
CAMPERS.
*
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THE CLAW PATTERN
INDICATES 3 TALONS.
THAT'S VERY UNUSUAL.
IT'S ALMOST BIRD-LIKE.
IT'D TAKE THE TALONS OF A BIRD
OF PREY TO GOUGE THIS DEEP.
WERE THE CURTAINS LIKE THIS
LAST NIGHT?
YEAH,
DANA PRESERVED THE EVENT SITE.
IT LOOKS LIKE
A LITTLE HAND.
RACCOON, MAYBE?
RACCOONS' PAWS
ARE VERY HAND-LIKE, BUT THEY
HAVE 5 DIGITS.
AND THEY HARDLY EVER
WEAR SHOES.
LINDSAY,
IF MATT'S LOOKING FOR ME,
I'M CHECKING OUT THE GROUNDS,
OKAY?
SURE, COOP.
HI.
HELLO.
IF YOU PEOPLE NEED
TO STAY OVER,
THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM.
ESPECIALLY FOR THE LITTLE GUY
WITH THE GLASSES.
MOM, PLEASE.
THIS ESTATE
BELONGED TO MY LATE AUNT.
MY HUSBAND AND I
JUST FINALIZED
OUR DIVORCE.
WE'RE STAYING HERE
UNTIL OUR TOWNHOUSE IS PAINTED.
MOM, SHE DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW
OUR LIFE STORY.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
HIS BED WAS FLOATING,
OKAY?
I SAW THESE LITTLE RED EYES
IN THE DARK.
AT LEAST,
I THOUGHT THEY WERE EYES.
AND THEN
THESE LITTLE THINGS
DISAPPEARED
OUT THE WINDOW.
THEY WERE WATCHING HORROR VIDEOS
ALL NIGHT LONG.
YOU KNOW HOW KIDS LIKE TO SCARE
THEMSELVES.
IT WASN'T LIKE THAT,
MOTHER.
THEY COULD HAVE BEEN
HUMONGOUS RATS OR SOMETHING.
UM-HUH;
OH!
THAT'S JUST RUPERT;
HE PROBABLY WANTS OUT.
I'M OUTTA HERE,
TOO.
I JUST HAVE
A FEW MORE QUESTIONS--
THERE YOU GO,
BABY.
REALLY, MOM.
THEY'VE BOTH BEEN A HANDFUL
SINCE THE DIVORCE.
HAVE THEY EVER DISPLAYED
ANY UNUSUAL ABILITY?
YOU MEAN
MORE THAN PISSING ME OFF?
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF
PSYCHOKINESIS?
IT'S THE POWER
TO MOVE OBJECTS
BY FOCUSING THE MIND.
OH, SURE;
I CAUGHT THAT SHOW IN VEGAS.
THERE HAVE BEEN
DOCUMENTED CASES.
LET'S JUST SAY,
CAMERON
IS AN UNUSUAL BOY.
*
THEY TOOK OFF OVER THERE
SOMEWHERE.
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A DOZEN,
MAYBE MORE.
ARE YOU SURE?
DAD,
YOU SAW THE SCRATCHES.
VANESSA SAW IT, TOO;
WE'RE NOT MAKING THIS UP.
I THINK
YOU SAW SOMETHING.
I'M ONLY GONNA ASK YOU THIS
ONE MORE TIME.
WERE YOU AND VANESSA DRINKING
LAST NIGHT?
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH THIS.
IT'S NOT LIKE
WE WERE DRUNK.
FINE THEN,
FORGET I ASKED.
SO WHAT;
HALF MY FRIENDS ARE DOING DRUGS.
WHICH HALF?
DAD, WHEN YOU WERE MY AGE
YOU WERE PRACTICALLY MARRIED.
WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT ME.
RELAX, I'M NOT GONNA DO
ANYTHING STUPID.
BEEN TAKING SPOILED-BRAT LESSONS
FROM YOUR FRIEND?
YOU DON'T LIKE VANESSA AND YOU
DON'T WANT ME TO HAVE FRIENDS.
NO, I DON'T LIKE HER
BECAUSE SHE'S 16 GOING ON 40.
AND HER MOTHER'S NOT EXACTLY
A DANDY ROLE MODEL, EITHER.
I DON'T NEED YOUR PERMISSION;
MOM SAID IT WAS OKAY.
I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOUR MOTHER SAYS.
YOU NEVER DID.
WHAT?
*
I GOT HERE
AS SOON AS I COULD.
WHAT'S UP?
I NEVER
CALLED YOU.
I DID.
SINCE WHEN
DO YOU GO BEHIND MY BACK?
I COULDN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU
RIGHT AWAY.
SORRY IF I SOUNDED LIKE
A FLAKY KID ON THE PHONE.
THAT'S OKAY;
WHEN DOES THE LAB GET HERE?
IT'S NOT.
PETE, SETTLE IN AND I'LL FILL
YOU IN ON THE DETAILS, OKAY?
YEAH.
NICE BIKE.
THANKS.
WE SAW THAT REPORT
ON THE NEWS
AND WE JUST TOOK THE NEXT FLIGHT
TO ROMANIA.
IT'S QUITE
A RESPONSIBILITY.
YOU DON'T KNOW
THE HALF OF IT.
THE LAWYERS, THE PAPER WORK,
THE DOCTORS.
THE CONDITIONS IN THAT ORPHANAGE
WERE JUST SICKENING.
DOES CAMERON
HAVE ANY MEMORY OF THAT?
HE HAS NIGHTMARES SOMETIMES
BUT HE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT IT.
SO HE KNOWS
HE'S ADOPTED.
SURE.
WHEN YOU
BROUGHT HIM HOME,
DID HE HAVE ANY TROUBLE
ADJUSTING?
I'VE READ
NEGLECTED KIDS SOMETIMES HAVE
ATTACHMENT DISORDERS.
YOU MEAN THE BONDING THING,
RIGHT?
THEY WARNED US
ABOUT THAT.
HOW DID HE ADJUST?
WELL,
WE BROUGHT HIM HOME
WHEN HE WAS 2.
BUT HE DIDN'T START TO TALK
TILL HE WAS NEARLY 4.
THEN HE STARTED
SPITTING OUT FULL SENTENCES LIKE
HE'D BEEN TALKING FOR YEARS.
HOW ARE
HIS SOCIAL SKILLS?
HE'S QUIET.
HE SPENDS TOO MUCH TIME
IN HIS ROOM.
ALWAYS GOT HIS NOSE
IN SOME GRUESOME COMIC BOOK.
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY
HE WAS MOODY.
BUT YOU KNOW KIDS,
THEY'RE ALL LIKE THAT.
*
I HOPE MY VCR's
TAPING THAT BIVALVE SPECIAL.
RELAX COOP, THEY'LL RE-RUN IT
DURING MOLLUSC WEEK.
THERE'S NOTHING,
LET'S TRY DOWN HERE.
*
HEY,
WHAT'S THAT?
HEY!
COME ON, LEMME GO,
I LIVE HERE, OKAY?
THAT'S CAMERON.
SORRY,
WE HAVEN'T MET YET.
MY NAME'S PETER
I UNDERSTAND YOU HAD
A SCARY EXPERIENCE LAST NIGHT.
THAT SOME KIND OF
GEIGER COUNTER?
A SCINTILLATOR,
ACTUALLY,
WAY MORE SENSITIVE.
YOU INTO SCIENCE?
I SUPPOSE THAT MAKES ME
A GEEK?
WELL, IF IT DOES,
I GUESS I'M THE KING OF GEEKS.
CAMERON,
WE GOT WORK TO DO.
I'LL CATCH YOU
LATER.
*
HEY, COOP, HOW COME
YOU WERE SO TOUGH ON THAT KID?
HE'D JUST BE
IN THE WAY.
COME ON,
HE'S JUST CURIOUS.
MAYBE, BUT HE'S THE PRIMARY
EXPERIENCER IN THIS CASE.
I DON'T KNOW; THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT KID.
WOW.
PETER,
IT'S LIKE A MINI CROP CIRCLE.
NO ATYPICAL
ATMOSPHERICS.
NO RADIATION.
*
WHAT THE HELL
IS THAT?
A CROW?
YEAH,
WHAT'S LEFT OF A CROW.
WELL,
IT WASN'T KILLED BY THE CAT.
IT WAS STABBED TO DEATH
WITH SOMETHING SMALL AND SHARP.
STABBED?
YEAH, SEE THE WAY
THE BONE IS SPLINTERED?
THE FEET AND WINGS
HAVE BEEN HACKED OFF,
NO WAY AN ANIMAL DID THIS.
WHAT ABOUT AN ANIMAL
WITH REALLY BAD TABLE MANNERS?
ANIMALS KILL TO EAT.
THERE'S NO FOOD VALUE
IN FEET OR WINGS.
WHAT ABOUT THE CROP CIRCLE?
IT'S CONSISTENT
WITH U.F.O. SIGHTINGS.
BUT THERE'S NO RADIATION,
NO ELECTROMAGNETIC READINGS.
NO LITTLE GREEN MEN,
EITHER.
I PUT A CALL IN
TO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL
AND THE WEATHER SERVICE
TO SEE IF ANYBODY REPORTED
ANYTHING UNUSUAL.
ASK THE KID, TOO,
MAYBE HE'S A STAR-GAZER.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
BUT THAT KID CREEPS ME OUT.
I'LL 2nd THAT.
WHY;
CAUSE HE'S QUIET?
LET'S HAVE ANTON CHECK HIM OUT;
HE CAN BE HERE BY MORNING.
*
LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE
BEFORE THEY FIND OUT?
THIS IS THE LAST THING,
OKAY?
JUST DON'T
DO SOMETHING STUPID.
DID YOU MAKE THIS?
THAT'S
EXCELLENT CRAFTSMANSHIP.
YOUR MOM TELLS ME
YOU'RE DOING VERY WELL
AT SCHOOL.
SCHOOL'S BORING.
TOO EASY.
REALLY?
I GUESS YOU MISS YOUR FRIENDS,
BEING THIS FAR FROM THE CITY.
NO BIG DEAL.
WHEN I WAS A BOY,
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN HEAVEN.
A BIG HOUSE AND ALL THE GROUNDS
YOU CAN CALL YOUR OWN.
YOU DON'T
REALLY CARE ABOUT THAT.
YOU WANT TO KNOW IF I'M CRAZY,
RIGHT?
WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?
MY SISTER SAYS I AM.
BUT SHE ISN'T MY SISTER,
ANYWAY.
I'M ADOPTED.
I GUESS YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT,
THOUGH.
YOU FEEL
THAT'S IMPORTANT?
HEY,
I DON'T CARE.
VANESSA AND DANA
ARE THE ONES SEEING THINGS.
WELL,
I'LL BE TALKING TO THEM
AS WELL.
WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?
THIS IS ISSUE ONE
OF DEATH SLAYER.
DO YOU HAVE A CLUE
WHAT IT'S WORTH;
I'M SORRY.
LEAVE MY STUFF ALONE.
OKAY?
WHAT YOU GOT?
I WAS ONLY WITH HIM
FOR A FEW MINUTES
BUT IT'S A LITTLE HARD
TO MAKE A JUDGEMENT.
COULD CAMERON
HAVE BEEN PLAYING A PRANK?
THAT MAY BE
THE CASE,
BUT THERE'S MUCH MORE
THAN THAT.
I WAS HIS ROOM.
IT'S FULL OF
IMAGES OF VIOLENCE,
ESPECIALLY THE DRAWINGS,
TAKE A LOOK.
THIS IS A VERY REPRESSED,
VERY ANGRY CHILD.
NOTE THE KNIFE
IN THE DRAWING.
PARENTS GET DIVORCED,
IT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
ESPECIALLY THE KIDS.
I THINK HE'S CREATING
HIS OWN FANTASY WORLD
SO HE CAN EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS.
YOU THINK
HE KILLED THE CROW?
DISTURBED KIDS
ACT OUT THEIR RAGE.
MUTILATIONS, ARSON,
THAT KIND OF THING.
IS THIS KID
GONNA HURT SOMEBODY?
THAT I CAN'T TELL YOU,
BUT WE MIGHT BE DEALING WITH
A TICKING BOMB.
OH,
HI PETER.(Y
HI DANA.
I THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT BE THIRSTY;
THANKS.
JUST AS SOON HAVE A COLD BEER,
HUH?
NOT WHILE I'M WORKING.
SURE,
THAT'S WHAT I MEANT,
WHEN
YOU'RE NOT WORKING.
I REALLY LIKE BEER.
REALLY?
LIKE YOU NEVER DRANK
AT MY AGE.
ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW,
WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL
THE DRINK OF CHOICE
WAS LEMON GIN.
I DON'T RECOMMEND IT.
OH, PETER.
IT WAS REALLY NICE
TALKING TO YOU.
MY DAD TALKS TO ME LIKE
I'M A LITTLE GIRL, IF AT ALL.
IT'S HARD FOR FATHERS TO LET
THEIR LITTLE GIRLS GROW UP.
ANYWAY,
THANKS FOR THE WATER.
PETER,
IF YOU EVER NEED SOME MORE,
LET ME KNOW, OKAY?
THANKS,
I WILL.
*
WEATHER SERVICE
DOESN'T REPORT ANYTHING UNUSUAL.
THERE'S A NEWS FLASH.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
DANA CALLED YOU?
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW.
LISTEN, DON'T TAKE THIS
THE WRONG WAY, OKAY?
'CAUSE AFTER ALL YOU'VE BEEN
THROUGH IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.
YOU SEEM
DEPRESSED LATELY.
IS THIS
JUST YOUR OPINION
OR DID YOU TAKE A POLL
AROUND THE WATER COOLER?
DANA NOTICED.
SHE TOLD YOU THAT;
YEAH,
YOU'RE TOUGH ON HER.
SINCE WHEN DID YOU BECOME
THE EXPERT ON FATHERLY ADVISE?
SORRY,
IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
YOU 2 WORK IT OUT.
HERE,
PUSS, PUSS, PUSS.
HERE, RUPERT.
HE'S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE;
HERE, RUPERT.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE MAY BE
SOMETHING TO THE GIRLS' STORY.
WHY;
YOU'VE SEEN SOMETHING, TOO?
THE OTHER NIGHT,
I HEARD SOMETHING.
AND WHEN I CAME DOWN
MY KNITTING BASKET
WAS ALL TORN TO HELL.
NEEDLES MISSING,
BALLS OF WOOL--
IT WASN'T RUPERT?
NOT UNLESS HE'S KNIT HIMSELF
A SWEATER.
CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING,
DOCTOR?
IN CONFIDENCE?
THAT DEPENDS.
MY AUNT MOIRA
USED TO TELL US STORIES
WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN
ABOUT
THE LITTLE PEOPLE.
REALLY?
WE USED TO THINK
THAT WE SAW THEM, TOO,
IN THE BUSHES, NEAR THE ARBOUR,
AROUND THE FOUNTAIN.
THEY'D APPEAR
JUST AS THE SUN WAS SETTING.
WHEN THAT LOVELY GOLDEN LIGHT
MADE THE WORLD LOOK...
MAGICAL.
THE OTHER NIGHT,
I THOUGHT I SAW THEM AGAIN.
WHAT DID THEY LOOK LIKE?
I HARDLY CAUGHT
A GLIMPSE.
MY AUNT MOIRA
USED TO SAY,
YOU HAVE TO CATCH THEM
FROM THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE.
THEY KNOW
WHEN THEY'RE BEING WATCHED
AND THEY
DON'T LIKE IT.
THEY MAY BE WATCHING US
RIGHT NOW.
CASE MANAGERS LOG,
PRAEGER RECORDING.
WE'RE UNOFFICIALLY INVESTIGATING
A REPORT OF CREATURE SIGHTINGS.
ONE OF THE WITNESSES
TO THESE EVENTS
MAY ACTUALLY
BE CAUSING THEM.
PRAEGER OUT.
HEY, CAMERON.
I'M SORRY FOR US
INVADING YOUR HOUSE LIKE THIS,
BUT, YOU KNOW,
WE'LL BE GONE SOON.
NO PROBLEM,
YOU'RE NOT BUGGING ME.
SO,
YOU LIKE WORKING FOR
THE O.S.I.R.?
BEATS SLINGING BURGERS
OR PUMPING GAS.
BET YOU GET TO TRAVEL ALL OVER
LOOKING FOR FREAKY STUFF.
YEAH,
KIND OF.
THEY PAY YOU
FOR THAT?
SOMETIMES.
MY DAD TRAVELS A LOT.
HE USED TO SAY
HE'D TAKE ME WITH HIM...
NEXT TIME.
I GUESS NOW THAT
HE'S GOT A NEW GIRLFRIEND,
HE'LL BE TAKING HER
INSTEAD.
YOU MISS HIM?
YOU KNOW,
MY DAD DIDN'T ALWAYS
HAVE TIME FOR ME, EITHER.
SEEMED LIKE HIS JOB
ALWAYS CAME 1st.
HE A SCIENTIST,
TOO?
NO,
HE'S A COUNTRY DOCTOR.
HE'S ALMOST RETIRED.
YOU HAVE ANY KIDS;
NO.
DON'T YOU LIKE KIDS?
OH YEAH, I ALWAYS HOPE
TO RAISE A FAMILY SOMEDAY.
IF YOU HAD KIDS,
WOULD THEY GET IN TROUBLE
FOR KEEPING A SECRET?
I MEAN
A BAD SECRET?
I DON'T KNOW; I GUESS IT DEPENDS
ON HOW BAD THE SECRET IS.
*
I FOUND THIS PLACE
JUST AFTER
WE MOVED IN.
I MESSED AROUND,
STUCK UP SOME BRANCHES,
BUILT MYSELF A FORT.
THIS LOOKS LIKE
A TERMITE COLUMN.
IT'S NOT TERMITES.
SOMETHING WAY WORSE.
THEY KILLED THAT BIRD
AND CUT IT UP.
THEY DO THAT STUFF
ALL THE TIME.
AND YOU'VE SEEN THESE THINGS
AND THEY TALK TO YOU?
THEY DON'T
EXACTLY TALK,
BUT THEY LET YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT.
IT WAS COOL AT 1st; BUT THEY
STARTED COMING TO THE HOUSE.
THE SCRATCHES
ON THE WINDOWSILL.
NO ONE ELSE
HAS SEEN THEM?
THAT'S THE WAY
THEY WANT IT.
MORE AND MORE STARTED COMING
TO MY ROOM AT NIGHT.
MADE ME
GIVE THEM STUFF.
I DIDN'T WANT TO,
BUT I WAS SCARED.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
I WAS ASLEEP.
THEY MUST HAVE
GOTTEN INTO MY ROOM SOMEHOW.
WHEN I WOKE UP, MY BED
WAS HALFWAY ACROSS THE ROOM.
I GUESS
THAT'S WHEN THEY TOOK OFF.
IF VANESSA HADN'T COME
THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME.
WHY;
YOU HELP THEM?
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANT
AND DON'T NEED ME.
I KNOW
IT SOUNDS CRAZY,
BUT IF I DON'T HELP THEM,
THEY'LL HURT ME.
CAMERON,
I DON'T THINK YOU'RE CRAZY.
THAT DOCTOR
FRIEND OF YOURS DOES.
LISTEN, I WANT YOU TO COME BACK
AND TELL MY FRIENDS
EVERYTHING YOU JUST TOLD ME,
ALRIGHT?
IT'S OKAY,
YOU CAN TRUST THEM.
COME ON,
LET'S GO.
*
*
VANESSA?
DID YOU
PUT DINNER ON?
VANESSA?
DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING
AROUND HERE?
RUPERT!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
*
IT JUST STOOD THERE,
STARING AT ME.
IF VANESSA
HADN'T COME SO QUICKLY,
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE.
TAKE IT EASY,
YOU MIGHT HAVE A FRACTURE.
IT JUST RAN OFF?
I DIDN'T SEE IT GO.
IT WAS JUST GONE.
I SURE COULD USE A DRINK,
LOVE.
I'M AFRAID NOT.
WE ALL THOUGHT AUNT MOIRA
WAS CRAZY.
NOW,
I'M NOT SO SURE.
I TOLD DR. COOPER.
WHAT?
SHE WARNED US NOT TO GO INTO THE
WOODS, IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS.
BECAUSE OF THEM?
THE LITTLE PEOPLE, YES;
IT WAS SORT OF A FAMILY JOKE.
NOW I DON'T FIND IT SO FUNNY,
ANYMORE.
HAS ANYONE SEEN RUPERT?
DID HE COME HOME
LAST NIGHT?
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THAT
RIGHT NOW.
YOU JUST GET SOME REST.
DR. HENDRICKS,
TELL THEM
NOT TO GO OUT INTO THE WOODS.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS
OUT THERE.
IT'S ALL MY FAULT.
THEY'RE PUNISHING ME
BECAUSE I TOLD.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
LOOK,
YOU'VE HEARD MY MOM.
SHE SAW THEM, TOO.
THEY TRIED
TO KILL HER.
LOOK, CAM,
WE HAVE TO APPROACH THIS
LOGICALLY,
LIKE
A SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION.
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
NO WAY!
I NEVER
SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU ANYTHING.
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
WHAT THE--
*
LINDSAY,
IS MRS. JEFFERS OKAY?
OH SURE,
SHE'LL BE FINE.
IF DR. HENDRICKS ISN'T WORRIED,
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE EITHER.
DO YOU THINK
PETER LIKES ME?
OF COURSE HE DOES.
I MEAN
REALLY LIKES ME?
OH, I SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING
WITH THAT.
IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE
A CRUSH ON HIM OR ANYTHING.
BUT I DO THINK
HE'S KIND OF CUTE.
AND WHAT BETTER WAY
TO DRIVE YOUR DAD CRAZY?
WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
WELL,
NOT ON PURPOSE.
WHEN I WAS 16,
THERE WAS THIS GRAD STUDENT
WHO WORKED FOR MY DAD, LANCE--
DON'T LAUGH.
HE WAS GORGEOUS.
HE WAS 6 FOOT 2,
LONG BLOND HAIR,
HE HAD
THE GREENEST EYES
AND THE CUTEST LITTLE--
CONVERTIBLE.
DID YOU
GO OUT WITH HIM?
HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
I WAS ALIVE.
I WAS
HIS SECRET ADMIRER.
I USED TO LEAVE HIM CHOCOLATES
ALL THE TIME.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO KNOW
HE WAS A DIABETIC?
I GONNA TAKE HER INTO TOWN
FOR X-RAYS, JUST TO BE SAFE.
GOOD IDEA.
COULD SHE BE SUFFERING FROM
ALCOHOLIC DEMENTIA?
SEEING PINK ELEPHANTS?
THE BOY CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN
THE SAME THING.
MATT,
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM
FOLLIE AU DEUX;
I SAW
THE MUSICAL,
BUT I MISSED
THE MOVIE.
OKAY, HOW ABOUT
SHARED PSYCHOTIC DISORDER?
IT'S MORE COMMON
THAN YOU THINK,
IT HAPPENS IN FAMILIES
UNDERGOING A CRISIS.
YOU HAVE
A DOMINANT PARENT
IMPOSING AN EMOTIONAL AFFLICTION
ON A PASSIVE CHILD.
COULD EXPLAIN THIS.
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE,
CAMERON WAS WITH ME.
COULD HAVE SET IT
BEFORE
AND HE COULD HAVE KILLED
THE CAT AND THE CROW.
NOT THIS KID.
I HAPPEN
TO BELIEVE HIM.
I WISH I COULD BE
AS CERTAIN.
WE MAY BE DEALING WITH
A VERY TWISTED KID, HERE.
WE SHOULD KEEP HIM IN HIS ROOM
TILL WE KNOW WHERE WE STAND.
YOU SHOULD TRY WAXING
NEXT TIME.
YOU SEE THIS?
THE SAME PUNCTURE WOUNDS,
SAME DISMEMBERMENT.
THE SAME KNITTING NEEDLES MAY
HAVE BEEN USED TO KILL THE CROW.
MAYBE ANTON WAS RIGHT
ABOUT THIS KID.
WHAT IF
HE'S NOT THE ANSWER?
ALL CULTURES HAVE LEGENDS ABOUT
FAIRIES, GNOMES AND TROLLS.
THAT RING IN THE GRASS,
IN FOLKLORE
THAT COULD BE
A FAIRY RING.
I'M NOT READY
TO RESORT TO TOLKIEN.
I'LL ASK CAMERON
IF I CAN USE HIS COMPUTER,
ACCESS OUR DATABASE,
SEE WHAT I CAN FIND.
ALRIGHT,
BE CAREFUL AROUND HIM.
COOP, I WANT YOU AND PETE
TO CHECK OUT THOSE COLUMNS.
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS, COOP.
LOOKS LIKE
THE OTHER ONE.
WHERE'D YOU FIND
THE CAT?
OVER THERE.
THIS DIDN'T EXACTLY
GROW HERE.
WHAT ABOUT THIS?
IT'S NOT UNLIKE TERMITE MOUNDS
I'VE SEEN IN AFRICA.
BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE
IN NORTH AMERICA,
AT LEAST
NOT THIS BIG.
UH-HUH.
IT'S MUD MIXED WITH
FOREST DEBRIS FOR STABILITY.
IT LOOKS ALMOST WOVEN.
YOU SURE,
WHAT WOULD DO THAT;
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S VERY INGENIOUS.
IT'S NOT UNLIKE
THE DUNG BEETLE.
PROBABLY JUST A BIRD
OR SOMETHING.
YEAH.
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
UH-HUH.
THOSE
ARE AWFULLY BIG TERMITES.
JEEZ,
THIS STUFF
IS LIKE CEMENT.
*
CAMERON?
IS THIS ANYTHING LIKE
WHAT YOU SAW?
I MADE IT UP,
OKAY?
THE WHOLE THING!
IT'S ALRIGHT;
IT WAS A JOKE.
I DIDN'T KNOW
DANA WOULD BRING YOU GUYS IN.
JUST GET
THE HELL OUT
AND LEAVE US ALONE.
WE PULLED THIS SAMPLE
FROM THE COLUMN.
YOU SEE THE WAY THE VEGETATION
IS PACKED AND WOVEN
AROUND
THIS FRAMEWORK OF BONES?
IT'S INGENIOUS!
WE MAY BE LOOKING AT
A HIGHLY EVOLVED SPECIES
OF CARNIVOROUS INSECT;
SOMETHING WE'VE NEVER SEEN.
OR EVER WANT TO.
WHAT ABOUT
THE DISMEMBERMENT?
INSECTS COMMONLY DISSECT
THEIR KILL
BEFORE
THEY TAKE IT INTO THE NEST.
THIS PILLAR
MAY ONLY BE
AN ENTRANCE TOWER
LEADING TO A WHOLE SERIES
OF TUNNELS UNDERGROUND.
LINDSAY'S
UNDERGROUND PEOPLE.
COOP,
SINCE WHEN
DO INSECTS STAB THINGS?
SO, WHEN'S HE TAKING YOU
FOR A RIDE?
YEAH, RIGHT.
I MEAN
ON HIS MOTORCYCLE.
I ASKED
BUT HE SAID I NEEDED A HELMET.
YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE RIGHT,
HE IS
PRETTY GOOD-LOOKING...
FOR AN OLD GUY.
PETER'S NOT OLD;
YOU MAKE IT SOUND CREEPY.
AND IT'S NOT LIKE
I WOULD DO ANYTHING.
HOW WILL HE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
IF YOU DON'T MAKE YOUR MOVE?
MY DAD
WOULD KILL ME.
LIKE HE'S GONNA
FIND OUT.
WHO'S GONNA TELL HIM?
I THINK
YOU SHOULD GO FOR IT.
I DARE YOU.
VANESSA!
I'M GOING INTO TOWN NOW.
COULD CAMERON
HAVE COPIED
THESE DRAWINGS?
I SUPPOSE, BUT THIS IS FROM
OUR RESEARCH ARCHIVES.
THAT COULD BE
REALLY UGLY TWINS.
I FOUND THIS, TOO.
IT'S A NORWEGIAN LEGEND
ABOUT SUBTERRANEAN TROLLS
CALLED THE HULDRE,
THE UNDER GROUND PEOPLE.
THEY FED ON HUMAN FLESH
AND FARM ANIMALS.
WITH ALL THAT PROTEIN, YOU'D
THINK THEY'D GROW A BIT TALLER.
ANYTHING ELSE?
ACCORDING TO THE LEGEND,
THEY KEPT THE SEVERED LIMBS
AS TROPHIES.
*
VANESSA,
CUT IT OUT!
*
THEY MADE ME!
THEY MADE ME TELL.
NO, NO,
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!
NO!
NO.
I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY!
SORRY.
HI.
CAN I TALK TO YOU?
CAN IT WAIT; WE'RE
ONTO SOMETHING PRETTY IMPORTANT.
I WANTED
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
WHAT'S THAT?
THIS.
DANA?
WHAT THE HELL?
MATT--
I'LL DEAL WITH YOU,
LATER.
DANA!
RELAX ROMEO,
I KNOW IT WAS HER IDEA.
MATT'S GONNA KILL ME.
PROBABLY.
CAMERON'S MISSING
FROM HIS ROOM.
GREAT.
*
HIS DOOR WAS LOCKED
FROM THE OUTSIDE.
WHEN I CAME IN, HIS WINDOW
WAS OPEN AND HE WAS GONE.
HE COULDN'T
HAVE JUMPED THAT FAR.
EITHER
HE LOWERED HIMSELF DOWN--
OR SOMETHING CAME
AND GOT HIM.
*
PETER AXON,
WHY HIM?
STOP TREATING ME
LIKE A KID.
STOP BEHAVING
LIKE ONE!
LOOK, I KNOW WHAT I DID
SEEMED REALLY IMMATURE,
BUT VANESSA SAID I SHOULD TRY
TO SEE HOW HE FELT ABOUT ME.
SO NOW,
THIS WAS YOUR FRIEND'S IDEA?
WHY IS IT
YOU LISTEN TO EVERYONE BUT ME?
HOW CAN YOU
EXPECT ME
TO LISTEN TO YOU
WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN TALK TO ME?
LOOK, I KNOW I DIDN'T KNOW
JENNIFER VERY WELL.
IT WASN'T LIKE SHE WAS
MY STEP MOM OR ANYTHING,
BUT I KNOW
IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD FOR YOU
LOSING HER
LIKE THAT.
DAD,
I KNOW YOU WANT TO PROTECT ME
FROM SAD STUFF,
BUT I'M NOT A KID ANYMORE.
I KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE HURTING.
I DON'T WANT TO DUMP MY PROBLEMS
ON YOU, YOU DON'T NEED THAT.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME
TO SHARE MY FEELINGS,
WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN TRUST ME
WITH YOURS?
I CAN HANDLE IT,
OKAY?
OH MAN,
I HATE IT
WHEN YOU TALK LIKE THAT.
LIKE WHAT?
LIKE AN ADULT.
CAMERON'S MISSING.
PETER'S GONE
TO LOOK FOR HIM.
*
CAMERON!
CAMERON!
HELP!
*
HELP!
HE MUST HAVE GONE
TO WHERE THE PILLARS ARE.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS CRUSH
DANA HAS ON AXON?
I TAKE THE 5th
ON THAT.
BESIDES,
IT'S HARMLESS, MATT.
AM I LOSING IT, OR IS EVERYBODY
ONE STEP AHEAD OF ME?
YOU'VE GOT OTHER THINGS
ON YOUR MIND, LATELY.
HELP, PETER!
*
HELP!
*
CAMERON!
CAMERON?
*
AHHH!
AHHH!
BASTARD.
AHHH!
*
HELP!
CAMERON!
*
IT'S A CRUSH,
IT'LL PASS.
WILL IT?
HELP!
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
PLEASE HELP ME!
CAMERON?
CAMERON!
PETER!
HURRY!
HELP, PETER!
LET ME GO!
*
LET ME GO.
THEY MADE ME TELL!
LET ME GO!
CAMERON!
HANG ON,
CAMERON!
GOT YOU.
OW!
COME ON.
OVER HERE.
*
YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YOU'RE OKAY,
YOU DID GOOD.
YOU TAKE IT EASY,
ALRIGHT CAMERON?
CALL ME.
THEY'RE STAYING WITH THEIR DAD
UNTIL THEIR MOM'S ANKLE HEALS.
BUNKING IN
WITH DAD, HUH?
GIVE HER
ANY POINTERS?
I'M GONNA MEET COOP AND LINDSAY
AT THE EXCAVATION SITE.
PETE,
HOW'S THE HEAD?
A LITTLE TENDER
BUT IT'S STILL IN ONE PIECE.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I GOT HIT
IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD,
I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU.
NEXT TIME
YOU'LL SEE IT COMING.
YEAH.
SO MOM'S IN MONTREAL
FOR THE WEEKEND.
FEEL LIKE BABYSITTING?
BABYSITTING?
LET'S SEE, WE'LL HAVE TO STOP
AT THE STORE FOR DIAPERS.
WE'LL HAVE TO BRING YOUR CRIB UP
FROM THE BASEMENT, OF COURSE.
DO YOU STILL TRAVEL
WITH YOUR DUCKY?
DAD...
WHY DON'T WE JUST SPLIT A PIZZA
AND HANG OUT,
YOU KNOW,
TALK.
YOU'RE NOT DRIVING.
*
CASE MANAGER'S FINAL ENTRY.
THE AREA WHERE THE CREATURES
LIVED WAS EXCAVATED,
REVEALING
A COMPLEX NETWORK OF TUNNELS.
VANISHED WITHOUT A TRACE.
PRAEGER OUT.
ON PSI FACTOR.
PETE,
THIS IS MY DAUGHTER, DANA.
YOU REALLY DO EXIST.
HI I'M PETER,
NICE TO MEET YOU.
HOW'S SHE DOING?
WE'RE NOT EXACTLY
HAVING HEART TO HEARTS,
YOU SHOULD ASK HER
YOURSELF.
WHAT DID YOU
RUN AWAY FROM;
HOME.
*
DID YOUR MOM MAKE YOU
EAT YOUR BROCCOLI OR SOMETHING?
I WAS THINKING THAT MAYBE
I COULD COME LIVE WITH YOU.
*
SHHH!
SHHH, YOU'RE GONNA GET US
SO BUSTED.
I LIKED THE TEQUILA
WAY BETTER.
AFTER MY MOM PASSES OUT
TOMORROW NIGHT,
I'M GONNA MAKE US MARTINIS
TO DIE FOR.
PASS ME THE GIN.
HEY, TAKE IT EASY.
THAT STUFF'S
EVEN WORSE.
SHHH!
CAMERON.
THAT LITTLE WEASEL
IS SPYING ON US.
CAMERON, YOU TELL AND YOUR DEAD;
YOU HEAR ME?
WHAT IS HE DOING
IN THERE?
*
*
ELEOA, WE7LA3AoS
DIVERSE CULTURES
FROM AROUND THE GLOBE
SHARE MYTHS AND LEGENDS WHICH
SEEM TO HAVE A COMMON ELEMENT.
ARE THESE SO-CALLED
FAIRY TALES
MERELY THE PRODUCT
OF THE COLLECTIVE UNCONSCIOUS?
OR IS THERE
AN ACTUAL LINK
THAT BINDS FANTASIES OF THE PAST
TO OUR EVERYDAY REALITY?
THANKS DAD, FOR COMING;
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO.
THAT'S OKAY.
IT HAPPENED IN HERE.
THE BED MOVED
RIGHT ACROSS THE ROOM.
I MADE THEM
LEAVE EVERYTHING AS IT WAS
SO THE EVENT SITE
WOULD BE PRESERVED.
THE EVENT SITE?
YOU CATCH ON FAST.
YOU DON'T
REMEMBER ANYTHING?
I TOLD YOU,
I WAS ASLEEP.
WERE YOU DRINKING
LAST NIGHT?
NO.
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT.
CAN I GET YOU
A DRINK?
A LITTLE EARLY
TO PUT THE HAPPY IN HAPPY-HOUR,
DON'T YOU THINK;
COFFEE, THEN?
THAT'S FINE,
THANKS.
WHAT IS IT?
THEY LOOK LIKE
SCRATCHES.
HI GUYS,
I REALLY APPRECIATE THIS.
NO PROBLEM,
IS DANA ALRIGHT?
SHE'S JUST
A LITTLE SHAKEN UP.
WHEN DOES
THE MOBILE LAB GET HERE?
WHEN I'M SURE IT'S WORTH CALLING
THIS AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION.
SINCE WHEN DO WE DO
ANY OTHER KIND?
SINCE NOW.
*
THIS WAY,
CAMPERS.
*
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
THE CLAW PATTERN
INDICATES 3 TALONS.
THAT'S VERY UNUSUAL.
IT'S ALMOST BIRD-LIKE.
IT'D TAKE THE TALONS OF A BIRD
OF PREY TO GOUGE THIS DEEP.
WERE THE CURTAINS LIKE THIS
LAST NIGHT?
YEAH,
DANA PRESERVED THE EVENT SITE.
IT LOOKS LIKE
A LITTLE HAND.
RACCOON, MAYBE?
RACCOONS' PAWS
ARE VERY HAND-LIKE, BUT THEY
HAVE 5 DIGITS.
AND THEY HARDLY EVER
WEAR SHOES.
LINDSAY,
IF MATT'S LOOKING FOR ME,
I'M CHECKING OUT THE GROUNDS,
OKAY?
SURE, COOP.
HI.
HELLO.
IF YOU PEOPLE NEED
TO STAY OVER,
THERE IS PLENTY OF ROOM.
ESPECIALLY FOR THE LITTLE GUY
WITH THE GLASSES.
MOM, PLEASE.
THIS ESTATE
BELONGED TO MY LATE AUNT.
MY HUSBAND AND I
JUST FINALIZED
OUR DIVORCE.
WE'RE STAYING HERE
UNTIL OUR TOWNHOUSE IS PAINTED.
MOM, SHE DOESN'T NEED TO KNOW
OUR LIFE STORY.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
HIS BED WAS FLOATING,
OKAY?
I SAW THESE LITTLE RED EYES
IN THE DARK.
AT LEAST,
I THOUGHT THEY WERE EYES.
AND THEN
THESE LITTLE THINGS
DISAPPEARED
OUT THE WINDOW.
THEY WERE WATCHING HORROR VIDEOS
ALL NIGHT LONG.
YOU KNOW HOW KIDS LIKE TO SCARE
THEMSELVES.
IT WASN'T LIKE THAT,
MOTHER.
THEY COULD HAVE BEEN
HUMONGOUS RATS OR SOMETHING.
UM-HUH;
OH!
THAT'S JUST RUPERT;
HE PROBABLY WANTS OUT.
I'M OUTTA HERE,
TOO.
I JUST HAVE
A FEW MORE QUESTIONS--
THERE YOU GO,
BABY.
REALLY, MOM.
THEY'VE BOTH BEEN A HANDFUL
SINCE THE DIVORCE.
HAVE THEY EVER DISPLAYED
ANY UNUSUAL ABILITY?
YOU MEAN
MORE THAN PISSING ME OFF?
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF
PSYCHOKINESIS?
IT'S THE POWER
TO MOVE OBJECTS
BY FOCUSING THE MIND.
OH, SURE;
I CAUGHT THAT SHOW IN VEGAS.
THERE HAVE BEEN
DOCUMENTED CASES.
LET'S JUST SAY,
CAMERON
IS AN UNUSUAL BOY.
*
THEY TOOK OFF OVER THERE
SOMEWHERE.
THERE MUST HAVE BEEN A DOZEN,
MAYBE MORE.
ARE YOU SURE?
DAD,
YOU SAW THE SCRATCHES.
VANESSA SAW IT, TOO;
WE'RE NOT MAKING THIS UP.
I THINK
YOU SAW SOMETHING.
I'M ONLY GONNA ASK YOU THIS
ONE MORE TIME.
WERE YOU AND VANESSA DRINKING
LAST NIGHT?
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH THIS.
IT'S NOT LIKE
WE WERE DRUNK.
FINE THEN,
FORGET I ASKED.
SO WHAT;
HALF MY FRIENDS ARE DOING DRUGS.
WHICH HALF?
DAD, WHEN YOU WERE MY AGE
YOU WERE PRACTICALLY MARRIED.
WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT ME.
RELAX, I'M NOT GONNA DO
ANYTHING STUPID.
BEEN TAKING SPOILED-BRAT LESSONS
FROM YOUR FRIEND?
YOU DON'T LIKE VANESSA AND YOU
DON'T WANT ME TO HAVE FRIENDS.
NO, I DON'T LIKE HER
BECAUSE SHE'S 16 GOING ON 40.
AND HER MOTHER'S NOT EXACTLY
A DANDY ROLE MODEL, EITHER.
I DON'T NEED YOUR PERMISSION;
MOM SAID IT WAS OKAY.
I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOUR MOTHER SAYS.
YOU NEVER DID.
WHAT?
*
I GOT HERE
AS SOON AS I COULD.
WHAT'S UP?
I NEVER
CALLED YOU.
I DID.
SINCE WHEN
DO YOU GO BEHIND MY BACK?
I COULDN'T GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU
RIGHT AWAY.
SORRY IF I SOUNDED LIKE
A FLAKY KID ON THE PHONE.
THAT'S OKAY;
WHEN DOES THE LAB GET HERE?
IT'S NOT.
PETE, SETTLE IN AND I'LL FILL
YOU IN ON THE DETAILS, OKAY?
YEAH.
NICE BIKE.
THANKS.
WE SAW THAT REPORT
ON THE NEWS
AND WE JUST TOOK THE NEXT FLIGHT
TO ROMANIA.
IT'S QUITE
A RESPONSIBILITY.
YOU DON'T KNOW
THE HALF OF IT.
THE LAWYERS, THE PAPER WORK,
THE DOCTORS.
THE CONDITIONS IN THAT ORPHANAGE
WERE JUST SICKENING.
DOES CAMERON
HAVE ANY MEMORY OF THAT?
HE HAS NIGHTMARES SOMETIMES
BUT HE DOESN'T TALK ABOUT IT.
SO HE KNOWS
HE'S ADOPTED.
SURE.
WHEN YOU
BROUGHT HIM HOME,
DID HE HAVE ANY TROUBLE
ADJUSTING?
I'VE READ
NEGLECTED KIDS SOMETIMES HAVE
ATTACHMENT DISORDERS.
YOU MEAN THE BONDING THING,
RIGHT?
THEY WARNED US
ABOUT THAT.
HOW DID HE ADJUST?
WELL,
WE BROUGHT HIM HOME
WHEN HE WAS 2.
BUT HE DIDN'T START TO TALK
TILL HE WAS NEARLY 4.
THEN HE STARTED
SPITTING OUT FULL SENTENCES LIKE
HE'D BEEN TALKING FOR YEARS.
HOW ARE
HIS SOCIAL SKILLS?
HE'S QUIET.
HE SPENDS TOO MUCH TIME
IN HIS ROOM.
ALWAYS GOT HIS NOSE
IN SOME GRUESOME COMIC BOOK.
I GUESS YOU COULD SAY
HE WAS MOODY.
BUT YOU KNOW KIDS,
THEY'RE ALL LIKE THAT.
*
I HOPE MY VCR's
TAPING THAT BIVALVE SPECIAL.
RELAX COOP, THEY'LL RE-RUN IT
DURING MOLLUSC WEEK.
THERE'S NOTHING,
LET'S TRY DOWN HERE.
*
HEY,
WHAT'S THAT?
HEY!
COME ON, LEMME GO,
I LIVE HERE, OKAY?
THAT'S CAMERON.
SORRY,
WE HAVEN'T MET YET.
MY NAME'S PETER
I UNDERSTAND YOU HAD
A SCARY EXPERIENCE LAST NIGHT.
THAT SOME KIND OF
GEIGER COUNTER?
A SCINTILLATOR,
ACTUALLY,
WAY MORE SENSITIVE.
YOU INTO SCIENCE?
I SUPPOSE THAT MAKES ME
A GEEK?
WELL, IF IT DOES,
I GUESS I'M THE KING OF GEEKS.
CAMERON,
WE GOT WORK TO DO.
I'LL CATCH YOU
LATER.
*
HEY, COOP, HOW COME
YOU WERE SO TOUGH ON THAT KID?
HE'D JUST BE
IN THE WAY.
COME ON,
HE'S JUST CURIOUS.
MAYBE, BUT HE'S THE PRIMARY
EXPERIENCER IN THIS CASE.
I DON'T KNOW; THERE'S SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT KID.
WOW.
PETER,
IT'S LIKE A MINI CROP CIRCLE.
NO ATYPICAL
ATMOSPHERICS.
NO RADIATION.
*
WHAT THE HELL
IS THAT?
A CROW?
YEAH,
WHAT'S LEFT OF A CROW.
WELL,
IT WASN'T KILLED BY THE CAT.
IT WAS STABBED TO DEATH
WITH SOMETHING SMALL AND SHARP.
STABBED?
YEAH, SEE THE WAY
THE BONE IS SPLINTERED?
THE FEET AND WINGS
HAVE BEEN HACKED OFF,
NO WAY AN ANIMAL DID THIS.
WHAT ABOUT AN ANIMAL
WITH REALLY BAD TABLE MANNERS?
ANIMALS KILL TO EAT.
THERE'S NO FOOD VALUE
IN FEET OR WINGS.
WHAT ABOUT THE CROP CIRCLE?
IT'S CONSISTENT
WITH U.F.O. SIGHTINGS.
BUT THERE'S NO RADIATION,
NO ELECTROMAGNETIC READINGS.
NO LITTLE GREEN MEN,
EITHER.
I PUT A CALL IN
TO AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL
AND THE WEATHER SERVICE
TO SEE IF ANYBODY REPORTED
ANYTHING UNUSUAL.
ASK THE KID, TOO,
MAYBE HE'S A STAR-GAZER.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
BUT THAT KID CREEPS ME OUT.
I'LL 2nd THAT.
WHY;
CAUSE HE'S QUIET?
LET'S HAVE ANTON CHECK HIM OUT;
HE CAN BE HERE BY MORNING.
*
LOOK, WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE
BEFORE THEY FIND OUT?
THIS IS THE LAST THING,
OKAY?
JUST DON'T
DO SOMETHING STUPID.
DID YOU MAKE THIS?
THAT'S
EXCELLENT CRAFTSMANSHIP.
YOUR MOM TELLS ME
YOU'RE DOING VERY WELL
AT SCHOOL.
SCHOOL'S BORING.
TOO EASY.
REALLY?
I GUESS YOU MISS YOUR FRIENDS,
BEING THIS FAR FROM THE CITY.
NO BIG DEAL.
WHEN I WAS A BOY,
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN HEAVEN.
A BIG HOUSE AND ALL THE GROUNDS
YOU CAN CALL YOUR OWN.
YOU DON'T
REALLY CARE ABOUT THAT.
YOU WANT TO KNOW IF I'M CRAZY,
RIGHT?
WHAT MAKES YOU SAY THAT?
MY SISTER SAYS I AM.
BUT SHE ISN'T MY SISTER,
ANYWAY.
I'M ADOPTED.
I GUESS YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT,
THOUGH.
YOU FEEL
THAT'S IMPORTANT?
HEY,
I DON'T CARE.
VANESSA AND DANA
ARE THE ONES SEEING THINGS.
WELL,
I'LL BE TALKING TO THEM
AS WELL.
WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?
THIS IS ISSUE ONE
OF DEATH SLAYER.
DO YOU HAVE A CLUE
WHAT IT'S WORTH;
I'M SORRY.
LEAVE MY STUFF ALONE.
OKAY?
WHAT YOU GOT?
I WAS ONLY WITH HIM
FOR A FEW MINUTES
BUT IT'S A LITTLE HARD
TO MAKE A JUDGEMENT.
COULD CAMERON
HAVE BEEN PLAYING A PRANK?
THAT MAY BE
THE CASE,
BUT THERE'S MUCH MORE
THAN THAT.
I WAS HIS ROOM.
IT'S FULL OF
IMAGES OF VIOLENCE,
ESPECIALLY THE DRAWINGS,
TAKE A LOOK.
THIS IS A VERY REPRESSED,
VERY ANGRY CHILD.
NOTE THE KNIFE
IN THE DRAWING.
PARENTS GET DIVORCED,
IT CHANGES EVERYTHING.
ESPECIALLY THE KIDS.
I THINK HE'S CREATING
HIS OWN FANTASY WORLD
SO HE CAN EXPRESS HIS FEELINGS.
YOU THINK
HE KILLED THE CROW?
DISTURBED KIDS
ACT OUT THEIR RAGE.
MUTILATIONS, ARSON,
THAT KIND OF THING.
IS THIS KID
GONNA HURT SOMEBODY?
THAT I CAN'T TELL YOU,
BUT WE MIGHT BE DEALING WITH
A TICKING BOMB.
OH,
HI PETER.(Y
HI DANA.
I THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT BE THIRSTY;
THANKS.
JUST AS SOON HAVE A COLD BEER,
HUH?
NOT WHILE I'M WORKING.
SURE,
THAT'S WHAT I MEANT,
WHEN
YOU'RE NOT WORKING.
I REALLY LIKE BEER.
REALLY?
LIKE YOU NEVER DRANK
AT MY AGE.
ACTUALLY, YOU KNOW,
WHEN I WAS IN SCHOOL
THE DRINK OF CHOICE
WAS LEMON GIN.
I DON'T RECOMMEND IT.
OH, PETER.
IT WAS REALLY NICE
TALKING TO YOU.
MY DAD TALKS TO ME LIKE
I'M A LITTLE GIRL, IF AT ALL.
IT'S HARD FOR FATHERS TO LET
THEIR LITTLE GIRLS GROW UP.
ANYWAY,
THANKS FOR THE WATER.
PETER,
IF YOU EVER NEED SOME MORE,
LET ME KNOW, OKAY?
THANKS,
I WILL.
*
WEATHER SERVICE
DOESN'T REPORT ANYTHING UNUSUAL.
THERE'S A NEWS FLASH.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME
DANA CALLED YOU?
I THOUGHT YOU KNEW.
LISTEN, DON'T TAKE THIS
THE WRONG WAY, OKAY?
'CAUSE AFTER ALL YOU'VE BEEN
THROUGH IT'S UNDERSTANDABLE.
YOU SEEM
DEPRESSED LATELY.
IS THIS
JUST YOUR OPINION
OR DID YOU TAKE A POLL
AROUND THE WATER COOLER?
DANA NOTICED.
SHE TOLD YOU THAT;
YEAH,
YOU'RE TOUGH ON HER.
SINCE WHEN DID YOU BECOME
THE EXPERT ON FATHERLY ADVISE?
SORRY,
IT'S NONE OF MY BUSINESS.
YOU 2 WORK IT OUT.
HERE,
PUSS, PUSS, PUSS.
HERE, RUPERT.
HE'S AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE;
HERE, RUPERT.
YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE MAY BE
SOMETHING TO THE GIRLS' STORY.
WHY;
YOU'VE SEEN SOMETHING, TOO?
THE OTHER NIGHT,
I HEARD SOMETHING.
AND WHEN I CAME DOWN
MY KNITTING BASKET
WAS ALL TORN TO HELL.
NEEDLES MISSING,
BALLS OF WOOL--
IT WASN'T RUPERT?
NOT UNLESS HE'S KNIT HIMSELF
A SWEATER.
CAN I TELL YOU SOMETHING,
DOCTOR?
IN CONFIDENCE?
THAT DEPENDS.
MY AUNT MOIRA
USED TO TELL US STORIES
WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN
ABOUT
THE LITTLE PEOPLE.
REALLY?
WE USED TO THINK
THAT WE SAW THEM, TOO,
IN THE BUSHES, NEAR THE ARBOUR,
AROUND THE FOUNTAIN.
THEY'D APPEAR
JUST AS THE SUN WAS SETTING.
WHEN THAT LOVELY GOLDEN LIGHT
MADE THE WORLD LOOK...
MAGICAL.
THE OTHER NIGHT,
I THOUGHT I SAW THEM AGAIN.
WHAT DID THEY LOOK LIKE?
I HARDLY CAUGHT
A GLIMPSE.
MY AUNT MOIRA
USED TO SAY,
YOU HAVE TO CATCH THEM
FROM THE CORNER OF YOUR EYE.
THEY KNOW
WHEN THEY'RE BEING WATCHED
AND THEY
DON'T LIKE IT.
THEY MAY BE WATCHING US
RIGHT NOW.
CASE MANAGERS LOG,
PRAEGER RECORDING.
WE'RE UNOFFICIALLY INVESTIGATING
A REPORT OF CREATURE SIGHTINGS.
ONE OF THE WITNESSES
TO THESE EVENTS
MAY ACTUALLY
BE CAUSING THEM.
PRAEGER OUT.
HEY, CAMERON.
I'M SORRY FOR US
INVADING YOUR HOUSE LIKE THIS,
BUT, YOU KNOW,
WE'LL BE GONE SOON.
NO PROBLEM,
YOU'RE NOT BUGGING ME.
SO,
YOU LIKE WORKING FOR
THE O.S.I.R.?
BEATS SLINGING BURGERS
OR PUMPING GAS.
BET YOU GET TO TRAVEL ALL OVER
LOOKING FOR FREAKY STUFF.
YEAH,
KIND OF.
THEY PAY YOU
FOR THAT?
SOMETIMES.
MY DAD TRAVELS A LOT.
HE USED TO SAY
HE'D TAKE ME WITH HIM...
NEXT TIME.
I GUESS NOW THAT
HE'S GOT A NEW GIRLFRIEND,
HE'LL BE TAKING HER
INSTEAD.
YOU MISS HIM?
YOU KNOW,
MY DAD DIDN'T ALWAYS
HAVE TIME FOR ME, EITHER.
SEEMED LIKE HIS JOB
ALWAYS CAME 1st.
HE A SCIENTIST,
TOO?
NO,
HE'S A COUNTRY DOCTOR.
HE'S ALMOST RETIRED.
YOU HAVE ANY KIDS;
NO.
DON'T YOU LIKE KIDS?
OH YEAH, I ALWAYS HOPE
TO RAISE A FAMILY SOMEDAY.
IF YOU HAD KIDS,
WOULD THEY GET IN TROUBLE
FOR KEEPING A SECRET?
I MEAN
A BAD SECRET?
I DON'T KNOW; I GUESS IT DEPENDS
ON HOW BAD THE SECRET IS.
*
I FOUND THIS PLACE
JUST AFTER
WE MOVED IN.
I MESSED AROUND,
STUCK UP SOME BRANCHES,
BUILT MYSELF A FORT.
THIS LOOKS LIKE
A TERMITE COLUMN.
IT'S NOT TERMITES.
SOMETHING WAY WORSE.
THEY KILLED THAT BIRD
AND CUT IT UP.
THEY DO THAT STUFF
ALL THE TIME.
AND YOU'VE SEEN THESE THINGS
AND THEY TALK TO YOU?
THEY DON'T
EXACTLY TALK,
BUT THEY LET YOU KNOW
WHAT THEY WANT.
IT WAS COOL AT 1st; BUT THEY
STARTED COMING TO THE HOUSE.
THE SCRATCHES
ON THE WINDOWSILL.
NO ONE ELSE
HAS SEEN THEM?
THAT'S THE WAY
THEY WANT IT.
MORE AND MORE STARTED COMING
TO MY ROOM AT NIGHT.
MADE ME
GIVE THEM STUFF.
I DIDN'T WANT TO,
BUT I WAS SCARED.
I WANT YOU TO TELL ME
WHAT HAPPENED LAST NIGHT.
I WAS ASLEEP.
THEY MUST HAVE
GOTTEN INTO MY ROOM SOMEHOW.
WHEN I WOKE UP, MY BED
WAS HALFWAY ACROSS THE ROOM.
I GUESS
THAT'S WHEN THEY TOOK OFF.
IF VANESSA HADN'T COME
THEY WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME.
WHY;
YOU HELP THEM?
I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE THEY GOT WHAT THEY WANT
AND DON'T NEED ME.
I KNOW
IT SOUNDS CRAZY,
BUT IF I DON'T HELP THEM,
THEY'LL HURT ME.
CAMERON,
I DON'T THINK YOU'RE CRAZY.
THAT DOCTOR
FRIEND OF YOURS DOES.
LISTEN, I WANT YOU TO COME BACK
AND TELL MY FRIENDS
EVERYTHING YOU JUST TOLD ME,
ALRIGHT?
IT'S OKAY,
YOU CAN TRUST THEM.
COME ON,
LET'S GO.
*
*
VANESSA?
DID YOU
PUT DINNER ON?
VANESSA?
DO I HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING
AROUND HERE?
RUPERT!
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
*
IT JUST STOOD THERE,
STARING AT ME.
IF VANESSA
HADN'T COME SO QUICKLY,
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I WOULD HAVE DONE.
TAKE IT EASY,
YOU MIGHT HAVE A FRACTURE.
IT JUST RAN OFF?
I DIDN'T SEE IT GO.
IT WAS JUST GONE.
I SURE COULD USE A DRINK,
LOVE.
I'M AFRAID NOT.
WE ALL THOUGHT AUNT MOIRA
WAS CRAZY.
NOW,
I'M NOT SO SURE.
I TOLD DR. COOPER.
WHAT?
SHE WARNED US NOT TO GO INTO THE
WOODS, IT WAS TOO DANGEROUS.
BECAUSE OF THEM?
THE LITTLE PEOPLE, YES;
IT WAS SORT OF A FAMILY JOKE.
NOW I DON'T FIND IT SO FUNNY,
ANYMORE.
HAS ANYONE SEEN RUPERT?
DID HE COME HOME
LAST NIGHT?
I WOULDN'T WORRY ABOUT THAT
RIGHT NOW.
YOU JUST GET SOME REST.
DR. HENDRICKS,
TELL THEM
NOT TO GO OUT INTO THE WOODS.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS
OUT THERE.
IT'S ALL MY FAULT.
THEY'RE PUNISHING ME
BECAUSE I TOLD.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.
LOOK,
YOU'VE HEARD MY MOM.
SHE SAW THEM, TOO.
THEY TRIED
TO KILL HER.
LOOK, CAM,
WE HAVE TO APPROACH THIS
LOGICALLY,
LIKE
A SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION.
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
NO WAY!
I NEVER
SHOULD HAVE TOLD YOU ANYTHING.
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.
WHAT THE--
*
LINDSAY,
IS MRS. JEFFERS OKAY?
OH SURE,
SHE'LL BE FINE.
IF DR. HENDRICKS ISN'T WORRIED,
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE EITHER.
DO YOU THINK
PETER LIKES ME?
OF COURSE HE DOES.
I MEAN
REALLY LIKES ME?
OH, I SEE WHERE YOU'RE GOING
WITH THAT.
IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE
A CRUSH ON HIM OR ANYTHING.
BUT I DO THINK
HE'S KIND OF CUTE.
AND WHAT BETTER WAY
TO DRIVE YOUR DAD CRAZY?
WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
WELL,
NOT ON PURPOSE.
WHEN I WAS 16,
THERE WAS THIS GRAD STUDENT
WHO WORKED FOR MY DAD, LANCE--
DON'T LAUGH.
HE WAS GORGEOUS.
HE WAS 6 FOOT 2,
LONG BLOND HAIR,
HE HAD
THE GREENEST EYES
AND THE CUTEST LITTLE--
CONVERTIBLE.
DID YOU
GO OUT WITH HIM?
HE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
I WAS ALIVE.
I WAS
HIS SECRET ADMIRER.
I USED TO LEAVE HIM CHOCOLATES
ALL THE TIME.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO KNOW
HE WAS A DIABETIC?
I GONNA TAKE HER INTO TOWN
FOR X-RAYS, JUST TO BE SAFE.
GOOD IDEA.
COULD SHE BE SUFFERING FROM
ALCOHOLIC DEMENTIA?
SEEING PINK ELEPHANTS?
THE BOY CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN
THE SAME THING.
MATT,
ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE TERM
FOLLIE AU DEUX;
I SAW
THE MUSICAL,
BUT I MISSED
THE MOVIE.
OKAY, HOW ABOUT
SHARED PSYCHOTIC DISORDER?
IT'S MORE COMMON
THAN YOU THINK,
IT HAPPENS IN FAMILIES
UNDERGOING A CRISIS.
YOU HAVE
A DOMINANT PARENT
IMPOSING AN EMOTIONAL AFFLICTION
ON A PASSIVE CHILD.
COULD EXPLAIN THIS.
THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE,
CAMERON WAS WITH ME.
COULD HAVE SET IT
BEFORE
AND HE COULD HAVE KILLED
THE CAT AND THE CROW.
NOT THIS KID.
I HAPPEN
TO BELIEVE HIM.
I WISH I COULD BE
AS CERTAIN.
WE MAY BE DEALING WITH
A VERY TWISTED KID, HERE.
WE SHOULD KEEP HIM IN HIS ROOM
TILL WE KNOW WHERE WE STAND.
YOU SHOULD TRY WAXING
NEXT TIME.
YOU SEE THIS?
THE SAME PUNCTURE WOUNDS,
SAME DISMEMBERMENT.
THE SAME KNITTING NEEDLES MAY
HAVE BEEN USED TO KILL THE CROW.
MAYBE ANTON WAS RIGHT
ABOUT THIS KID.
WHAT IF
HE'S NOT THE ANSWER?
ALL CULTURES HAVE LEGENDS ABOUT
FAIRIES, GNOMES AND TROLLS.
THAT RING IN THE GRASS,
IN FOLKLORE
THAT COULD BE
A FAIRY RING.
I'M NOT READY
TO RESORT TO TOLKIEN.
I'LL ASK CAMERON
IF I CAN USE HIS COMPUTER,
ACCESS OUR DATABASE,
SEE WHAT I CAN FIND.
ALRIGHT,
BE CAREFUL AROUND HIM.
COOP, I WANT YOU AND PETE
TO CHECK OUT THOSE COLUMNS.
HAVE A LOOK AT THIS, COOP.
LOOKS LIKE
THE OTHER ONE.
WHERE'D YOU FIND
THE CAT?
OVER THERE.
THIS DIDN'T EXACTLY
GROW HERE.
WHAT ABOUT THIS?
IT'S NOT UNLIKE TERMITE MOUNDS
I'VE SEEN IN AFRICA.
BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE
IN NORTH AMERICA,
AT LEAST
NOT THIS BIG.
UH-HUH.
IT'S MUD MIXED WITH
FOREST DEBRIS FOR STABILITY.
IT LOOKS ALMOST WOVEN.
YOU SURE,
WHAT WOULD DO THAT;
I DON'T KNOW.
IT'S VERY INGENIOUS.
IT'S NOT UNLIKE
THE DUNG BEETLE.
PROBABLY JUST A BIRD
OR SOMETHING.
YEAH.
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
UH-HUH.
THOSE
ARE AWFULLY BIG TERMITES.
JEEZ,
THIS STUFF
IS LIKE CEMENT.
*
CAMERON?
IS THIS ANYTHING LIKE
WHAT YOU SAW?
I MADE IT UP,
OKAY?
THE WHOLE THING!
IT'S ALRIGHT;
IT WAS A JOKE.
I DIDN'T KNOW
DANA WOULD BRING YOU GUYS IN.
JUST GET
THE HELL OUT
AND LEAVE US ALONE.
WE PULLED THIS SAMPLE
FROM THE COLUMN.
YOU SEE THE WAY THE VEGETATION
IS PACKED AND WOVEN
AROUND
THIS FRAMEWORK OF BONES?
IT'S INGENIOUS!
WE MAY BE LOOKING AT
A HIGHLY EVOLVED SPECIES
OF CARNIVOROUS INSECT;
SOMETHING WE'VE NEVER SEEN.
OR EVER WANT TO.
WHAT ABOUT
THE DISMEMBERMENT?
INSECTS COMMONLY DISSECT
THEIR KILL
BEFORE
THEY TAKE IT INTO THE NEST.
THIS PILLAR
MAY ONLY BE
AN ENTRANCE TOWER
LEADING TO A WHOLE SERIES
OF TUNNELS UNDERGROUND.
LINDSAY'S
UNDERGROUND PEOPLE.
COOP,
SINCE WHEN
DO INSECTS STAB THINGS?
SO, WHEN'S HE TAKING YOU
FOR A RIDE?
YEAH, RIGHT.
I MEAN
ON HIS MOTORCYCLE.
I ASKED
BUT HE SAID I NEEDED A HELMET.
YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE RIGHT,
HE IS
PRETTY GOOD-LOOKING...
FOR AN OLD GUY.
PETER'S NOT OLD;
YOU MAKE IT SOUND CREEPY.
AND IT'S NOT LIKE
I WOULD DO ANYTHING.
HOW WILL HE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
IF YOU DON'T MAKE YOUR MOVE?
MY DAD
WOULD KILL ME.
LIKE HE'S GONNA
FIND OUT.
WHO'S GONNA TELL HIM?
I THINK
YOU SHOULD GO FOR IT.
I DARE YOU.
VANESSA!
I'M GOING INTO TOWN NOW.
COULD CAMERON
HAVE COPIED
THESE DRAWINGS?
I SUPPOSE, BUT THIS IS FROM
OUR RESEARCH ARCHIVES.
THAT COULD BE
REALLY UGLY TWINS.
I FOUND THIS, TOO.
IT'S A NORWEGIAN LEGEND
ABOUT SUBTERRANEAN TROLLS
CALLED THE HULDRE,
THE UNDER GROUND PEOPLE.
THEY FED ON HUMAN FLESH
AND FARM ANIMALS.
WITH ALL THAT PROTEIN, YOU'D
THINK THEY'D GROW A BIT TALLER.
ANYTHING ELSE?
ACCORDING TO THE LEGEND,
THEY KEPT THE SEVERED LIMBS
AS TROPHIES.
*
VANESSA,
CUT IT OUT!
*
THEY MADE ME!
THEY MADE ME TELL.
NO, NO,
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!
NO!
NO.
I'M SORRY.
I'M SORRY!
SORRY.
HI.
CAN I TALK TO YOU?
CAN IT WAIT; WE'RE
ONTO SOMETHING PRETTY IMPORTANT.
I WANTED
TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
WHAT'S THAT?
THIS.
DANA?
WHAT THE HELL?
MATT--
I'LL DEAL WITH YOU,
LATER.
DANA!
RELAX ROMEO,
I KNOW IT WAS HER IDEA.
MATT'S GONNA KILL ME.
PROBABLY.
CAMERON'S MISSING
FROM HIS ROOM.
GREAT.
*
HIS DOOR WAS LOCKED
FROM THE OUTSIDE.
WHEN I CAME IN, HIS WINDOW
WAS OPEN AND HE WAS GONE.
HE COULDN'T
HAVE JUMPED THAT FAR.
EITHER
HE LOWERED HIMSELF DOWN--
OR SOMETHING CAME
AND GOT HIM.
*
PETER AXON,
WHY HIM?
STOP TREATING ME
LIKE A KID.
STOP BEHAVING
LIKE ONE!
LOOK, I KNOW WHAT I DID
SEEMED REALLY IMMATURE,
BUT VANESSA SAID I SHOULD TRY
TO SEE HOW HE FELT ABOUT ME.
SO NOW,
THIS WAS YOUR FRIEND'S IDEA?
WHY IS IT
YOU LISTEN TO EVERYONE BUT ME?
HOW CAN YOU
EXPECT ME
TO LISTEN TO YOU
WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN TALK TO ME?
LOOK, I KNOW I DIDN'T KNOW
JENNIFER VERY WELL.
IT WASN'T LIKE SHE WAS
MY STEP MOM OR ANYTHING,
BUT I KNOW
IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD FOR YOU
LOSING HER
LIKE THAT.
DAD,
I KNOW YOU WANT TO PROTECT ME
FROM SAD STUFF,
BUT I'M NOT A KID ANYMORE.
I KNOW
WHEN YOU'RE HURTING.
I DON'T WANT TO DUMP MY PROBLEMS
ON YOU, YOU DON'T NEED THAT.
HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME
TO SHARE MY FEELINGS,
WHEN YOU DON'T EVEN TRUST ME
WITH YOURS?
I CAN HANDLE IT,
OKAY?
OH MAN,
I HATE IT
WHEN YOU TALK LIKE THAT.
LIKE WHAT?
LIKE AN ADULT.
CAMERON'S MISSING.
PETER'S GONE
TO LOOK FOR HIM.
*
CAMERON!
CAMERON!
HELP!
*
HELP!
HE MUST HAVE GONE
TO WHERE THE PILLARS ARE.
DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS CRUSH
DANA HAS ON AXON?
I TAKE THE 5th
ON THAT.
BESIDES,
IT'S HARMLESS, MATT.
AM I LOSING IT, OR IS EVERYBODY
ONE STEP AHEAD OF ME?
YOU'VE GOT OTHER THINGS
ON YOUR MIND, LATELY.
HELP, PETER!
*
HELP!
*
CAMERON!
CAMERON?
*
AHHH!
AHHH!
BASTARD.
AHHH!
*
HELP!
CAMERON!
*
IT'S A CRUSH,
IT'LL PASS.
WILL IT?
HELP!
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
PLEASE HELP ME!
CAMERON?
CAMERON!
PETER!
HURRY!
HELP, PETER!
LET ME GO!
*
LET ME GO.
THEY MADE ME TELL!
LET ME GO!
CAMERON!
HANG ON,
CAMERON!
GOT YOU.
OW!
COME ON.
OVER HERE.
*
YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YOU'RE OKAY,
YOU DID GOOD.
YOU TAKE IT EASY,
ALRIGHT CAMERON?
CALL ME.
THEY'RE STAYING WITH THEIR DAD
UNTIL THEIR MOM'S ANKLE HEALS.
BUNKING IN
WITH DAD, HUH?
GIVE HER
ANY POINTERS?
I'M GONNA MEET COOP AND LINDSAY
AT THE EXCAVATION SITE.
PETE,
HOW'S THE HEAD?
A LITTLE TENDER
BUT IT'S STILL IN ONE PIECE.
YOU KNOW, WHEN I GOT HIT
IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD,
I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU.
NEXT TIME
YOU'LL SEE IT COMING.
YEAH.
SO MOM'S IN MONTREAL
FOR THE WEEKEND.
FEEL LIKE BABYSITTING?
BABYSITTING?
LET'S SEE, WE'LL HAVE TO STOP
AT THE STORE FOR DIAPERS.
WE'LL HAVE TO BRING YOUR CRIB UP
FROM THE BASEMENT, OF COURSE.
DO YOU STILL TRAVEL
WITH YOUR DUCKY?
DAD...
WHY DON'T WE JUST SPLIT A PIZZA
AND HANG OUT,
YOU KNOW,
TALK.
YOU'RE NOT DRIVING.
