The Dresden Files (2007–2008): Season 1, Episode 3 - Hair of the Dog - full transcript

I need the Jezebel root...

and the half ounce of skull...

And do you have the chormone
oil, the homemade stuff?

Chormone oil.

Mr. Dresden has a girlfriend?

Joanna, please.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Good morning.

Want to see a dead body?

Killer took the hair and teeth.



Trophies, fetish,
some freak show thing.

You tell me.

So, witnesses saw
a dark haired man

running through the woods?

Thank you.

Running for his life.

Or running from the
scene of the crime.

That's the question.

One thing for sure,
she didn't make it.

And you searched the woods
for the second body, the man?

Nothing so far.

And we've checked
the local hospitals.

Look at this.

She's been partially scalped



and both upper-canines were
extracted.

Oh, just the canines?

By the roots.

Something else; We found a
body in the river last week.

Jane Doe.

Teeth and hair?

Taken.

Murphy?

What have you got?

We got blood about 50 yards
west of your position.

Copy, on my way.

Here and there.

Pictures and samples here.

Pictures and samples guys.

Come on.

Well there was a fight.

Blood could be
your unknown male.

Or his attacker.

I also got the
victim's roommate.

What's she doing here?

Crying mostly.

Her name is Mina Watkins.

It was.

She was 24 years old.

Do you know what Mina
was doing last night?

She was on a date with
a guy she met last week,

on business.

He was in town.

Do you know his name?

Jim something.

I don't think she ever
mentioned a last name.

Can you describe him?

I never met him.

Mina said he was
athletic, brown hair.

She met him in a
bar in South Bend.

We were there for work.

We work for a foundation
that supports

college alumni groups.

Were you with Mina the
night that they met?

Yeah.

I left early; I went
back to the hotel.

Mina stayed.

Yeah, she said she
got in a fight

with some Britney
Spears looking woman.

This woman, did you see her?

I don't know, I might have.

What was the fight about?

I'm not sure.

She just said this Jim guy
came in, saved the day,

got the Britney
woman kicked out.

Do you remember the
name of the bar?

Kirby's.

Thank you Heather.

You've been very helpful.

Let us know if there's
anything we can do.

I have to go home
and call her mom.

Keep it.

Thank you.

The only signs of trauma
are missing hair and teeth.

No evidence of sexual assault.

The roommate came and identified

the shredded clothes we found
in the park as hers.

They were ripped by dull
blades of some kind.

How'd she die?

I don't know... yet.

I do know that her heart
stopped and then she died.

That's it?

No, we found some silver
powder in her nasal cavity

and trachea and on her lungs.

What kind of silver powder?

Best guess is its silver iodine;

It's a photographer's chemical.

Old school, it's not digital.

What about the
blood on the statue?

Well, it's not hers; It's male.

That's all we got for now.

Murphy.

I think you better
get down here.

Can I help you?

You Murphy?

I'm Special Agent Kelly Raskin,

I'm with the FBI Memphis branch.

I've been tracking a killer who
might be working in Chicago.

Is that Mina Watkins?

Yes.

FBI will be taking over this
case until further notice.

Sure.

There's an old saying:
Blood will out.

With a little blood
a person like me

can learn all kinds of things.

And that goes double
for a friend of mine,

and expert in all things dead,

which makes sense,
because he's dead.

Bob!

Lovely.

You know...

I really should
get out more often.

Bob, let's go to the crime
scene over there, come on.

Let's get this thing done.

Dresden!

Please don't drag me around
like an inbred cockerspaniel.

Well, keep up.

Is this her blood?

I don't know.

Let's find out.

Here we go.

Do you know him?

Never seen him before,

but the girl was on a date
so it's probably him.

And where is Romeo now?

Missing.

Okay, let's take a
look at the girl.

Do me a favour Bob,
don't show her dead,

because I saw enough
of that this morning.

Got anything?

That was the girl?

Lichenthrope.

It's there, it's in her blood.

How'd she die?

I taste silver.

We got a guy running
through the woods...

Perhaps she was hunting him
and he defended himself...

With silver?

Then he took her
teeth and her hair?

I don't know.

Makes you wonder
who was hunting who.

Ahh!

When you examine Mina's body...

Not my case anymore.

It's Federal.

Federal?

8 bodies, it's a serial.

Mina was #8?

Yeah.

Did you find any
silver in her body,

like a bullet wound
or stab wound or...?

Yeah, in her lungs.
She inhaled it.

How did you know that?

It. Murphy?

Special Agent Raskin.

In your report you state
that a Mr. Harry Dresden

was with you at the crime scene.

Right.

He calls himself a wizard.

That's because I am one.

Tell me he's not serious?

Completely.

Harry offers an
unconventional point of view.

On this one he doesn't.

I don't want you talking to him.

I know your type.

You exploit fear
and superstition.

You're a parasite.

And if you don't leave right now
I'm going to have you arrested

for hindering an active
Federal investigation.

Bye.

Disbelief, scepticism;

Hey, I get it.

If I didn't know what I know
I'd be skeptical too.

I usually don't bother
to set people straight

but every once in a while
there's someone I can't ignore.

Miss Brant please.

Miss Brant!

I didn't think you'd show up.

I didn't either.

Would you like to come inside
for a drink of coffee?

Listen you left a
message on my machine;

You said you needed
to talk about Mina,

but I don't have
a lot of time, so...

I know you've talked with
the police and the FBI...

Yeah, so what, what
are you gonna do?

You gonna go through the same
line of questioning a third time?

Thank you, but no.

You feel it, don't you?

There's something going on
here about Mina's death.

Things you're not sure
you can talk about

with the police and FBI,

because you don't think
they'll believe you.

I will.

Do you want to come in now?

Now you said there was
a fight in the bar.

Yes.

Was Mina attacked?

Something happened in South
Bend, I'm just not sure what.

We drove into town that morning;

Our meetings were done by five.

We killed some time in the
hotel lounge and then we went

to this place the concierge
told us about; Kirby's Bar.

We must have been there maybe
20 minutes or so

when I noticed this woman
sitting at the end of bar.

I couldn't see her face,

but it was about
10 minutes later

that things started
to get weird.

What do you mean by weird?

It just was a bad vibe.

And it felt like it
was being aimed at me.

I know it sounds crazy

but it felt like I was
being singled out.

I tried to get Mina to go
too, but she wouldn't listen.

I couldn't make her
understand what I was feeling;

That something was wrong.

I left.

You know, I think I walked
right by him on my way out.

The man Mina was with in
the park when she died.

I have a strange question.

In the fight Mina had with
the woman at the bar,

was she bitten?

I don't think so.

She was scratched.

Are you sure?

Well, Mina had these big
marks on her shoulders;

She thought they were from
the woman's fingernails...

but now that you mention it...

it could have been from...

Teeth?

Yeah.

What happened next?

Well we came back to Chicago.

What about Mina's injury?

She didn't mention it again.

It went away.

But was she acting
differently, anything at all?

Well, she had a flu for about
a day; She was feverish,

sweaty, but it went
away pretty quickly.

Yeah.

That's when he called.

Jim?

He was in town.

She went out to meet him; He
never came to the apartment.

Okay.

Wait, where are you going?

South Bend.

I have to take a
look at this bar.

Okay, let me come with you.

I don't think
that's a good idea.

Mr. Dresden, I should
have stopped her,

I should have dragged
her out of there.

Please, if there's
anything I can do to help...

You can pay half the gas.

Thank you.

So this woman, where was she?

She was there.

She was on that stool,
the one at the end.

All right.

What time was this?

I don't know, must
have been around 11.

I'm sorry,

what is it exactly that you
do that the cops can't?

I see things from a
different perspective;

From your perspective.

Why are you doing this?

Because I'm the
only one that can.

What is it?
Do you see something?

Not yet.

What are you going
to do with that?

I'm going to put my hand
on the back of your neck.

Is that okay?

Why?

Because I need to
borrow some energy.

Everything's going to fine, I
just need you to run with me,

all right.

Okay.

All right.

Okay.

Just take a deep breath.

Look, I'm getting
a head rush, I...

It's okay, it's all right,
it's all right, calm down.

Just breathe, breathe, steady.

What are you doing?

Counting back the hours.

Now just steady, be still,
just breathe.

Okay, look at the mirror.

Is that the woman?

How did you do that?

That's not good.

What, do you recognize her?

Agent Baskin.

Federal agents! Do not move.

Get away from the girl.

Hands in the air!

Will you get off of me...

what are you doing with her?

Where are you taking her?

Heather, Heather!

What's going on?

We just saved you from
a very dangerous man.

He's not dangerous.

It's you.

I saw you.

In the mirror, you were
there, you attacked Mina.

Sorry to hear you say that.

What do you want?

I want my life back.

Animals, sometimes
I think that's all we are,

driven by instinct,
the need to survive.

If you really want to see
someone at their most primitive,

all you have to do is
throw them in a cage.

Where's Murphy? Murphy!

Where is she?

Harry Dresden.

Special Agent Zachary
Bushnell, FBI.

Do you know him?

You know what this is, right.

Silver Iodine.

We found it in your apartment.

It's the same substance
found in the lungs

of 8 murdered girls stretching
from Memphis to Chicago.

Harry Dresden, you're
under arrest for murder;

8 counts.

Lock him up.

You find Heather?

No, she disappeared after
Raskin released her.

If she released her.

What do you know about Raskin?

She's hard core.

She's been 9 years
with the bureau;

Spent 2 years digging up
mass graves in Bosnia

for war crime trials.

Bosnia.

The rumour is she
had a breakdown,

got sent home early.

This is her first major
case since she's been back.

What do ya know.

What are you thinking Harry?

It's Bushnell and Raskin;
They're in this together.

The blood in the park, it's his.

He's the John Doe.

He killed Mina Watkins.

And Raskin, she set
the whole thing up.

They're FBI.

And then put me in this jail.

And Heather Brant is missing.

And if we don't do
something about it -

you know what happened
to Mina Watkins,

the same thing's going
to happen to Heather.

Do you have any proof?

Anything I can show a judge?

The blood evidence
at the statue.

Check it, its Bushnell's.

It's gone.

What?

All of the blood evidence
taken from the crime scene

has gone missing.

Okay, well go back
and get some more.

We tried.

The whole place has
been wiped clean.

Who else could have done that?

It has to be
Bushnell and Raskin.

Listen to me Murphy.

If you don't find her,

the next time you're
gonna see her

she's gonna be dead
in a ditch somewhere.

Hey dog.

Mina.

This is a dream.

The nightmare is
when you wake up.

I don't want to be here.

You need Dresden.

Get help.

There is no help!

I'm sorry.

For what?

For leaving you at that bar.

I got scared.

You were smart;

You knew there was
something wrong.

I saw it too and I ignored it.

I'm so sorry.

Just shut up and
get out of here.

Find Dresden.

He's your way out.

Help me!

Shh!

Somebody need a cop?

You killed Mina didn't you?

I put her down.

There's a difference.

You put her down like a dog?

Exactly.

You son of a bitch.

I did you a favour.

She would have ripped
your throat out

just as soon as look at you.

You're bleeding.

Nice try.

I can smell it.

Did Mina do that to you?

Did it hurt?

You know what, when it gets
dark we'll take you outside

and let you piss against a tree.

Don't talk to them.

How are you?

Tired.

We're almost there,
we're almost finished.

Just one more and
we've reached the nine

and this nightmare will be over.

Is she ready?

Almost.

Take her to the park.

Let her turn in the killer.

It's gonna be okay.

We're gonna get you back.

Yeah, well I need to
do something first.

What?

Kill Dresden.

So your cop girlfriend,
she always such a bitch?

Shut up!

What does killing me accomplish?

Killing you brings
her back to me.

I'll be ripping
your throat out now.

You bastards!

You bastards.

It's about time.

There have been people turning
this place upside down.

Fortunately they
didn't find the lamp.

Where have you been?

In Jail. I escaped.

You're a fugitive?

That's the least of my problems.

Heather is missing and the
Fed in charge of this

is a lichenthrope.

So the Federal
agent's been bitten?

No, she's the biter.

She's turning initial victims
into lichens and her partner,

also FBI is hunting
them down for fun.

Sounds like a match
made in heaven.

Okay, I need the spikes; I'm
going after lichenthrope,

I need silver spikes.

Top shelf, red bag.

Thank you.

So you think Heather...

Is going to the be 9th victim?

Yeah, that's exactly
what I think.

They killed 8 lichenthropes.

Well, that's quite a tally.

And I don't like that look.

It's not a tally, it's a recipe.

Recipe for what?

A cure.

Kill nine, remove the sign;
Sign of the wolf.

They're following the
blood line purge Arcana.

Very risky.

9 Lichens from the
same blood line.

All of them have to be killed,

and then the curse is removed.

If Heather is
bitten and murdered.

I've got to find her Bob.

I think she's found you.

Heather! Heather!

Help me...

Are you all right?

Something's wrong with me.

Okay, what is it,
what are you feeling?

I don't know.

Harry, she doesn't look well.

Heather, were you
with agent Raskin?

I was in a motel.

Was agent Raskin there?

Yes.

Perhaps you shouldn't
be so close Harry.

Bob, be quiet.

I'm concerned for your safety.

Heather, did she bite you?

Did agent Raskin bite you?

Yes.

Spikes are on the table.

Get out Bob.

She is not worth the...

Get out Bob!

Maybe he's right...

Easy!

Heather...

Do you smell that?

Everything smells like food.

You, you smell like food.

Be strong Heather. Be strong!

Harry I'm slipping away
and I don't like it.

Kill me.

Please.

Ow!

What happened? Let me see?

No, I'm okay. It's nothing.

I got hit the other night,
but I'll be all right.

Just one more and then
you'll be back with me.

Back for good.

Did you hear me?

I love you so much.

Now let's finish this.

Don't drug me,
I don't want to be drugged.

It's just tea, now
breathe and relax.

Harry, I think I'm
going to kill something.

Not tonight.

It doesn't have to control you.

Take this, take it.

That's it.

You're not afraid?

No.

This is insane.

Yeah I know, but it's real.

Is this what happened to Mina?

Yeah.

That FBI agent.

Yeah.

I want to kill her.

I know.

I want to kill you too.

Yeah, I know, but you won't.

I don't know, I think I might.

No, come here.

Feel that, that is your
heart and it's a good heart;

It's strong and it's in
control and you're in control

and you own this, this disease.

I've known others like
you and they've made it.

How many made it?

Enough for me to know that
surviving this thing is possible.

I can't.

Okay, okay.

Let's figure this out.

Do you remember where
they were holding you?

Some motel, I don't know where.

Were you on foot the whole time,

from the motel to
the woods to here?

What are you doing?

Dialling my nose up to 11.

I'm gonna track your scent
back to wherever they are.

I want to rip your throat out.

I'm willing to take that risk.

I'm not.

I trust you.

I have to go.

I smell her.

Yeah, me too.

She's here.

Okay, okay, you stand here.

Stay here.

Where's the girl?

Bushnell, Bush...

Harry!

Help me!

Oh god.

Hey.

Heather, no!

Zachary!

I guess I'm number nine.

Baby, baby you're free.

I love you.

I'm back. I'm back.

I love you.

I'm back. It's gone.

I'm back! It's gone!

No.

Monster's still here.

Dresden?

Hey.

You're no longer public
enemy number one.

Well, at least not
in their books.

So what's gonna
happen to Raskin?

Well, if she ever gets out
of the strait jacket

in the rubber room,

three States are looking
to pursue the penalty.

Bushnell was the lucky one.

Hey,

do you want to get a beer?

What?

I dragged you into this,
it's the least I can do.

You know...

I'd love to.

But right now I'm gotta
visit a friend.

Rain check?

Yeah, rain check.

Sure.

You sure about this?
Leaving town?

Yes.

Thank you.

Well...

I'll be okay.

Yeah, you'll be fine.

You stay on that elixer.

You can get the ingredients
almost anywhere,

but if you have a problem
you call me

and I'll get it straight
out to you, all right?

See, now you're just
repeating yourself.

If I keep talking
then you don't leave.

If this is going to work
I need to do it alone.

I need to convince
myself that I can.

I'm already convinced.

I'm...

walking out the door... now.

Here, this is yours.

Keep it.

She'll be back.

Yeah, maybe.

Maybe someday she'll slip up

and I'll have to hunt
her down and kill her.
