Blood Rage Page #2

Dig in.

I mean on the other stuff.

(Woman) Oh, great. OK.

- (Phone ringing)

- Oh. Excuse me, excuse me. I'll be right back.

(Woman) So, Andrea, tell me,

what year are you in?

Junior. You?

Well, it's my first year.

Um, I really love it though.

My classes are great!

(Andrea) I was like that

for about a week,

then all I wanted to do

was party and play tennis.

- You play tennis?

- (Andrea) Yeah!

Then we should play sometime.

Great. You've got to have friends here.

This place is slow death.

And at Christmas, we're going

to be stuck here for a week.

Oh, we'll find something for you to do.

(Andrea) I hope so.

Oh, I'm babysitting for Julie tonight.

Why don't you come by?

I'm gonna be so bored.

- Oh, I'd love to.

- Great!

(Maddy) Terry?

Could you help me for a moment?

Coming, Mom.

(Chuckles)

That was the school that just called.

They can't find Todd.

What do you mean, "They can't find Todd? "

Did he run away?

And they think that he might come here.

Oh, wow!

What are we supposed to do?

They're out looking for him now.

And his doctor is on her way over here.

(Sighs)

Brad, are you're almost done?

I wanna a slice of turkey.

I'm getting there, I'm getting there.

All right, hurry up.

Listen, let's just pretend

that nothing's happened.

I just don't wanna spoil things.

I mean, it is Thanksgiving,

and everyone's been looking

forward to the dinner so much.

Anybody else need more turkey?

No. I'm pretty good. Thanks.

- For a minute.

- Very nice.

Everything OK?

Hot bread, everybody!

Looks like you're getting a chance

to meet the rest of the family.

My psychotic brother just escaped.

(Andrea) Terry, is something really wrong

with him or is he just a little loonie?

- (Beth) Andrea!

- Just asking, Mom.

Would you pass the green beans, please?

- Brad?

- Oh, the green beans, yeah, sure.

Thanks.

Gee, this looks good, Mom.

(Exhales)

Come here, you.

It's been a long day.

Time for you to get off your feet.

Why don't you get out of here

and I'll finish up?

I think everything went very well.

The turkey was perfect.

(Door opens)

I'm sorry. I can't now.

(Door closes)

I mean, Terry's in the next room

and Todd's out there all alone.

I'm just so worried.

What if he comes here?

Hey, hey, don't worry. I'll be here.

- We'll handle it.

- (Sniffling)

I'm sorry. Guess I'm just

a little nervous. That's all.

Maybe, if I straighten the place

up a little, I'll feel better.

That's what I am gonna do.

- I'm gonna just straighten the place up.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey, babe.

It's OK. I mean, he's probably

hiding in a closet back at school.

So, relax. OK?

Oh, Brad.

I'm so glad you're here.

(Doorbell ringing)

- Hey!

- I got him, Doc.

(Dr Berman) Put that gun down.

It's his twin. Can't you see?

You are Terry, aren't you?

Don't worry about the gun.

It's only a tranquiliser gun.

Now, listen. I'm Dr Berman,

I'm from the institute,

- I want to see your mother.

- Dr Berman!

- Did you find him?

- No, I haven't even looked yet.

What's that gun?

It's OK, Mom.

Hey, hey. I'm Brad King.

I'm the manager here.

Maybe I can be of some help.

(Dr Berman) Yes.

Would you please help me?

Sure. Uh, listen, I'm gonna take care of them

and I'll be down in my office.

Now, you stay here

and don't worry, I won't be long.

OK, but just don't be long.

- I won't.

- OK.

Take care of your mother. Come on.

(Man) Nice place you got here, Mr King.

Were you around when the

Simmons kid first turned into a wacko?

Come on, Mom. It's all right.

- (Dr Berman) Let me do the talking.

- It's all right.

(Man) OK, Dr B. Sorry.

Sorry, Mr King.

Now, how can I help you?

You can tell me where I should start looking.

OK. We got about 1 0 acres here.

Now, if he were on the grounds,

he would probably be hiding

on one of the back patios.

Mmm-hmm.

And we have a nature walk

through the woods, right back here.

You might want to check that.

Do you keep any guards here?

No. We never had any trouble before.

All right.

I'm going to start looking with Jackie.

Where will we find you when we're finished?

OK. My office is in

Room 1 37, right down there.

If you need any help, that's where I will be.

Fine. Thank you.

Jackie...

You're gonna go down there

and you're going to search all the patios.

And I'm gonna go out into the woods.

But Dr B, maybe I ought to go with you,

you know, in case, there's a problem.

Jackie, I can take care of myself.

Give me the gun and just go.

Now.

(Man on radio) This is The

Lord Never Sleeps Bible Show.

And since the Lord never sleeps,

neither do we.

We'll be broadcasting prayers and music

and reading from the good book

all through the night.

And if you know what's good for you,

stay tuned...

(Phone ringing)

Hello?

Oh, thank God.

- (Brad) How are you?

- No, I'm just so worried.

Everything's OK?

The doctor and her assistant

are out looking around,

they're not going to find anything.

But just in case, I'm here.

Uh-huh. Stop it. It's OK. It's OK.

No, I feel it's just like a burden for you

and it's too much for you.

And it's my problem.

And I just...

(Brad talking indistinctly)

I love you, too.

(Radio playing)

(Radio continues playing)

(Brad) Well, look

what the cat brought in.

(Grunts)

(Screaming)

(lnsects chirping)

(Dr Berman) Todd?

(Jackie) Todd, are you out there?

Come on out. Damn, Todd.

This isn't funny.

(Cat yowls)

Sh*t. Get a grip on yourself.

Todd?

Dr B is gonna kill both of

us if I don't bring you back.

(Dr Berman) Todd?

Todd, I don't like this, Todd,

you better come back.

Hey, Todd.

I got some goodies.

You wanna get high?

Then you gotta come out first.

Come on, Todd.

(ln sing-song) He's a lunatic. Lunatic.

(Humming)

Terry, right?

It's Terry, right?

(Terry) Yeah. You're uh,

Dr Berman's friend.

Yeah.

Damn, you guys look so much alike.

It's... It's frightening.

Hey, I'm really sorry about what

happened back at the house.

Well, that's all right.

Damn. You guys sure look a lot alike.

Hey, Dr Berman told me to relax,

so I was relaxing.

- Hey, you want a hit?

- Sure. Thanks.

You know what else Dr Berman told me?

Mmm-mmm. What?

She told me that Todd

never killed anybody.

- (Terry) Yes, he did!

- (Screaming)

Yes, he did.

Todd?

(Frogs croaking)

Todd?

Todd, it's Dr Berman, Todd.

Please come out, Todd. I'm here to help you.

(Dishes clattering)

(Screaming)

(Screaming)

(Line ringing)

(Screaming)

It's not cranberry sauce.

(Phone ringing)

(Phone ringing)

(Man on radio) An eye for eye,

tooth for tooth and hand for hand...

(Baby crying)

(Door knocking)

(Andrea) Terry!

Hi. Come on in. Want a drink?

Oh, I'd love one.

I've got vodka and tomato juice

or tomato juice and vodka.

- Just tomato juice.

- Sure?

- I don't drink.

- OK.

- Any news on your brother?

- No.

God, I heard about what he did.

Must have been a drag for you and your mom.

I don't like to talk about my brother, Todd.

It gives me nightmares.
