Bad Blood: The Movie Page #2

---

- He got expelled from dit

a year after it was alleged

he and his partner were using

Grant money to manufacture

designer street drugs

using university lab equipment,

hard I.V. Stuff.

Now, I don't want to alarm you.

But I think it's important

you know who his associate was.

- Who?

- Dr. mark beltran.

- Who?

- The dit murderer.

- As I'm sure you're aware,

he somehow managed to escape

from a maximum-security prison

the same night

Victoria went missing.

It must've taken a heroic dose

of whatever it was

he was cookin' up there,

because he ripped

five people to shreds --

real gruesome business.

- You don't think that,

uh, uh, he...

- No, there's no reason

to assume the worst.

We haven't found a body yet.

- Yet?

Wade?

- Oh, very good.

Well done, Paul.

You really do have

a light touch, don't you?

- Tomorrow night is a full moon.

- Oh, again with the moon.

For Christ's sake, stensland,

i am paying you a lot of money.

And all you are bring back to us

in return is bullshit,

nothing but --

- now, if Victoria

is somehow involved in this,

I believe tomorrow is

our best chance of finding her.

But, for that to happen,

we need to work together.

That means I need 100% honesty

from both of you.

Do you think Victoria

was using drugs?

- No.

- Yes.

- You're close.

- Sorry. Uh --

- nature called.

- Little light reading, huh?

You in school?

- Not this year.

- Huh.

Just for fun then, huh?

- There anything

else I can help you with?

Excuse me?

- No, no, that's it.

You have a good day, huh?

- Come on, man.

F***in' dick.

- Sh*t.

Sh*t.

- Oh, so that's how

it's gonna be?

You sucker-punch and drug me

and think you can just come back

when it's that time

of the month,

and everything is gonna

be perfectly fine?

- Just don't.

Just give it to me.

- I think I've made

a breakthrough, Victoria.

- What are you talking about?

- I was right.

Her mutated spleen

was destroying the infected

blood cells in her stream.

By the time it would

reach her lymph nodes,

it may as well have been water.

But that's why the compound

hasn't been effective

as a long-term treatment.

The coding happens during

the first transformative cycle.

So, if I can find a way

to isolate the antibodies

in an "l"-positive specimen

before it goes through

that first cycle --

of course, I won't know

for sure until tonight.

But I may have a shot

at synthesizing an antidote,

somethin' that doesn't

just spot-treat the symptoms.

Talking about the cure,

Victoria.

- A cure for what?

I-i mean, do you even know

what attacked me?

Do you have any idea

what's inside of us

or where it came from?

How can you expect

to cure something

if you don't even know

what it is?

- God damn.

Victoria Miller.

Victoria,

my name is Paul stensland.

I'm an independent

private investigator

hired by your parents and

the parents of Kelly McLaughlin

to investigate

your disappearance July 26th.

I need you to come with --

what's your relationship

to the gas station attendant?

I ask because you two,

uh, seem familiar.

It's the one place

you keep going back to.

Look, I am trying

to help you.

Wouldn't hurt you

to cooperate just --

- the most hated teams in the

division, maybe even the league.

They're still in it.

And, if they win tonight,

they'll have a shot

at a playoff run.

But, if they lose, well, that's

all she wrote for this season.

- 10 till the top of the hour.

This is Scott rue

with your drive-time sports talk

on A.M. 790 the bench.

- Call in

if you want to talk frog ball.

800-frg-talk.

Caller Jim from denwood.

Jim, what's eatin' you, man?

- Yeah. Longtime listener,

first-time caller.

- Good to have you on the bench.

What's on your mind?

- But, yes,

the player suspension definitely

threw a wrench in the gears

for the frogs this year.

- Yeah, but, Scott,

his numbers beforehand

just really wasn't even

all that hot.

He's a bum.

He should've never --

- well, it's tough,

because we are talking about

one of the greatest players

of the new era.

But if the season ends tonight,

i might have to agree with you.

And it's unfortunate

that his legacy

will be accompanied

by an asterisk.

- You saw what it did

when left unchecked.

But you pushed

and you pushed anyway.

It was different

when it was just us.

But now more people are dead.

A young girl is infected, and i

don't have the heart to tell her

that we are responsible.

That's on you.

Please.

- F*** you.

- Landers,

who is that man outside?

- Clyde.

- Clyde? The gardener?

Who gardens at night?

- Clyde the gardener

works for me now, all right?

There's nothing you can do.

You're powerless.

But don't

take it personally, Murphy.

If it's any consolation,

I couldn't have done it

without you.

- Thanks.

- Who sold it to her?

- That's still

under investigation.

I can't tell you that.

- You can't tell me much,

can you?

- Well, what I can tell you

is not a lot of 17-year-old

girls disappear for a month

and come back in one piece.

And right now, that's what

you need to be concerned about.

- Did she use today?

- Mm, if she did,

she hid it well.

I tailed her

from the gas station,

and she hasn't been

out of my sight since.

Wade, this is powerful stuff.

I was a cop for 15 years, and

i never saw anything like it.

Her withdrawal could be severe.

You and Lillian

need to be prepared for that.

- Where is it?

- Victoria?

Why did you run away from us?

Don't you know

how much that hurt me?

If it's...

Drugs or...

Something,

we can get you help.

You just have to please

talk to me.

- You don't understand.

- You'd be surprised, Victoria.

I've been through

a lot of things in my life,

some things

that you might not believe.

- Not like this.

- Please. Untie me.

You -- you have to let me go.

Please, let me go.

God.

Please.

Please.

Please, this table

is so uncomfortable.

I've had a Charley horse

for like two days.

I just want to stand up.

That's all.

- I'm sorry.

The first transformative cycle

is very, very unpredictable.

Just got to be cautious.

Nothin' personal.

No. No, no. Wait.

- What was that...Thing?

- I don't know.

An infectious disease

of some kind.

Amphibious in nature,

from what I can tell,

kind of like rabies

for warm-blooded

and cold-blooded animals.

Of course, it's the warm-blooded

ones that experience

more of the intense

transformative side effects,

though they're both linked

to the lunar cycle.

- What, like a f***ing werewolf?

- No, not like --

all right. Yeah.

Kind of like a f***in' werewolf.

But like I said, amphibian.

- You can tell all of that

and still not have any idea

what it is

or where it came from?

And if you're so smart,

what are you doing

working at a f***ing gas station

in the middle of nowhere?

- That gas station put me

through med school.

It's what's keeping

the lights on down here,

and that is the only reason your

ass is still alive right now.
