Cast a Deadly Spell Page #4

- YOU FINGERED ME FOR IT.

YOU CAST RUNES AT ME.

- NO.

- WHO PUT YOU UP TO IT?

- I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE

TALKING ABOUT.

IF I STAND THIS CLOSE,

WHAT HAPPENS TO ME

HAPPENS TO YOU.

LET ME GO!

- ( metal clanging )

- ( grunts )

( grunt )

( clanging )

( grunts and screams )

( yelling )

DON'T TOUCH IT.

( sizzling )

TAKE IT BACK.

YOU GOTTA TAKE IT BACK.

( popping and banging )

( sobbing )

( moaning )

( groaning )

( all scream )

( laughing )

- ( screaming )

- ( metal clangs )

OPEN THE FREEZER DOOR.

OPEN IT!

( police siren wails )

( grunting and snorting )

I DIDN'T KNOW

THE OUTSIDE WORLD

COULD BE SO FASCINATING.

DO ALL POLICE STATIONS

HAVE THE SAME SMELL?

- ALL THE ONES I KNOW.

- YOU'RE UP.

IT'S ABOUT TIME.

HURRY UP AND WAIT.

REMEMBER, SCHLUBCRAFT?

THE OLD MAN WANTS

TO TALK TO YOU PERSONALLY.

BUT I THOUGH I MIGHT HAVE A FEW WORDS

WITH THE YOUNG LADY.

MISS.

( latch clicks )

( voices overlapping )

( moaning )

Man:
WAIT.

( hissing )

Bradbury:

I'VE GOT YOUR ASS, PUNK,

I'VE GOT IT TIED UP

WITH A NICE CHRISTMAS RIBBON

AND I DON'T CARE

HOW LONG IT TAKES,

SO WHY DON'T YOU BE SMARTER

THAN YOU LOOK AND SPILL IT?

( growls )

SAVE IT, PAL.

THAT DOESN'T BUY NOTHING

WITH ME. YOU'RE GOING OVER.

( howling )

YOUR BUDDIES:

CAN'T HEAR YOU NOW.

AND IF YOU THINK

THEY'D LIFT A PAW

TO HELP YOU,

YOU'RE AN EVEN BIGGER CHUMP

THAN I FIGURED.

( werewolf roaring )

THROW HIM IN A CAGE,

LET HIM SWEAT A WHILE.

( grunts and groans )

( werewolf howling )

GOD, I HATE FULL MOONS.

( barking, howling )

Cop:

MOONWALK, THAT'S IT,

ALL RIGHT.

PLANT IT.

NOT, NOT THERE,

YOU'LL GET HAIR

ALL OVER YOUR SUIT.

WHAT ARE WE DRINKING TO?

NOTHING,

WE'RE JUST DRINKING.

I USED TO HATE YOUR GUTS,

YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?

YOU TOLD ME OFTEN ENOUGH.

NOW, YOU'RE ABOU THE ONLY MAN IN THIS TOWN

I CAN TRUST.

GOSH, BRADBURY,

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU CARED.

IT'S JUST THAT YOU'RE

THE ONLY GUY I KNOW

WALKING AROUND:

WITHOUT A MAGIC WAND

UP HIS ASS.

I GOT VAMPIRES:

IN WEST HOLLYWOOD,

SALAMANDERS COMING

OUT OF THE FIRE HYDRANTS

IN SANTA MONICA,

BLACK RAIN, RED RAIN,

HAIL THE SIZE OF YOUR FIST.

MAGIC IS THE WAVE

OF THE FUTURE.

WOULDN'T WAN TO BUCK THE FUTURE,

WOULD YOU?

IF THIS IS THE FUTURE,

I'LL TAKE VANILLA.

I COULD USE SOME HELP.

I'M AN INDEPENDEN CONTRACTOR NOW.

YOU COULD COME BACK.

THE DEPARTMENT HAS GO NO BEEF WITH YOU,

NEVER HAS.

SORRY.

I LIKE BEING:

MY OWN BOSS.

YOU GOT ANY:

DISSATISFIED CUSTOMERS?

SOME PEOPLE:

MIGHT BE BETTER:

THAN OTHER PEOPLE.

BUT WHO DOESN'T LIKE YOU

ENOUGH TO CAST RUNES

IN YOUR DIRECTION?

HAVEN'T A CLUE.

GRIMALDI SAYS:

YOU WERE WITH A SKIRT.

DAUGHTER:

OF A CLIENT OF MINE.

CLIENT GOT A NAME?

( exhaling )

YES.

PHIL, THIS DOESN'T HAVE

TO BE A TRIP TO THE DENTIST.

LIKE I SAID, WE'VE GO NO BEEF WITH YOU.

FELLA'S PARTNER GOES BAD,

GOES ON THE TAKE,

THAT HAPPENS.

BUT YOU WERE:

SQUARE WITH US.

JUST BECAUSE BORDEN--

I DON'T NEED

A HISTORY LESSON.

SOMEONE'S THROWING

LESSER DEMONS AT YOU,

BLACK MAGIC FROM THE PI OF ACID GOTH,

- AND YOU DON'T EVEN

CARRY A RABBIT'S FOOT.

- I CAN HANDLE IT.

I'M NOT WORRIED

ABOUT YOU, PHIL,

I'M WORRIED

ABOUT THE PEOPLE

WHO MIGHT GET IN THE WAY.

ALL RIGHT.

HAVE IT YOUR WAY,

I CAN USE THE OVERTIME.

- THANK YOU.

- WELCOME.

WILL YOU HAVE TO TAKE

MY FINGERPRINTS?

WE DON'T HAVE TO GE YOUR HANDS DIRTY,

CUPCAKE.

OH, I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT.

- I'VE NEVER HAD

MY FINGERPRINTS TAKEN.

- MM-HMM.

I'D NEVER BEEN

IN A POLICE STATION

BEFORE.

AND I'VE NEVER SPOKEN TO

AN ACTUAL POLICE OFFICER

UNTIL NOW.

HOW IS THE EXPERIENCE

SHAPING UP FOR YOU SO FAR?

IT'S VERY STIMULATING.

YOU'LL GET USED TO IT.

WHAT DID YOU SEE

IN THAT OWL WAGON BEFORE

THE RUNES GOT THERE?

TWO EGGS OVER EASY

AND A SIDE OF TOAST.

PHIL, NOTHING IN LIFE

IS AS FUNNY AS YOU THINK.

( phone rings )

YEAH.

WHO?

ALL RIGHT.

YOUR LAWYER'S HERE.

LAWYER?

I DON'T HAVE A LAWYER.

- YOU DO NOW.

- ( banging )

A PLEASANT EVENING

TO THIS FINE AND

GOOD COMPANY.

I AM THADDEUS PILGRIM,

MR. LOVECRAFT'S

LEGAL ADVISOR.

PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES

FOR BEING SO LATE,

BUT I'M AFRAID

MY CLIENT FAILED

TO NOTIFY ME:

OF HIS DECISION TO

VOLUNTARILY ASSIST THE POLICE

IN THEIR INVESTIGATIONS.

OFTEN, OUR COURAGEOUS

PUBLIC SERVANTS NEGLECT,

WITH NOT A MOLECULE OF MALICE--

CERTAIN CONSTITUTIONAL

BOILERPLATE.

IT IS THEN THE HUMBLE ROLE

OF MEN SUCH AS MYSELF

TO POINT OUT THE POTENTIAL

REPERCUSSIONS:

OF THEIR WELL-INTENTIONED

BUT NONETHELESS ILLEGAL

ACTIONS.

I'M GETTING A HEADACHE

JUST LISTENING TO THIS.

HOW DID YOU KNOW

WHERE TO FIND ME?

YOU GIVE OFF VIBRATIONS,

LIKE A CHEAP RADIO.

Grimaldi:

MISS HACKSHAW!

Olivia:

YES, OFFICER GRIMALDI?

DON'T WANT YOU

RUNNING OFF WITHOU SIGNING YOUR STATEMENT.

SILLY ME.

STILL PLOTTING:

TO LEAVE TOWN,

COUSIN HYPOLITE?

- AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

- GOOD, I'LL FETCH THE CAR.

- LEAVING TOWN?

- AND I SUGGES THAT YOU DO THE SAME.

- I'VE GOT A JOB TO DO.

- DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.

THE SIGNS HERE ARE BAD.

TOMORROW NIGHT THERE WILL

BE AN ALIGNMENT.

ALL OF THE WRONG PLANETS

WILL BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE

AT THE WRONG TIME.

IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE AT ALL,

THE AIR WOULD CRACKLE IN

YOUR EARS LIKE WAX PAPER.

THINGS ARE IN FLUX,

THE AURAS ARE BAD.

ME? I'M GOING TO FLORIDA.

NASTY, VERY NASTY.

THE NECRONOMICON.

( spits )

I GUESS YOU'VE HEARD OF IT.

WHAT HAVE YOU STEPPED IN?

IT MUST BE SOME BOOK!

REVELATION'S 5:
--

"AND I SAW

ON THE RIGHT HAND OF HIM

THAT SAT ON THE THRONE,

A BOOK WRITTEN WITHIN AND

ON THE BACKSIDE SEALED

WITH SEVEN SEALS.

AND I SAW A STRONG ANGEL

PROCLAIMING IN A LOUD VOICE

'WHO IS READY

TO OPEN THE BOOK AND

LOOSE THE SEALS THEREOF?'

AND NO MAN:

IN HEAVEN NOR EARTH,

NEITHER UNDER THE EARTH

WAS ABLE TO OPEN THE BOOK

NEITHER TO LOOK THEREON."

THEY TALK ABOU THE NECRONOMICON

IN THE BIBLE?

THE END WILL COME

WITH THE OPENING OF A DOOR.

( whispering )

THE NECRONOMICON

IS THE KEY TO THAT DOOR.

( car approaching )

CAN'T TELL YOU WHEN

I'VE HAD A LOVELIER TIME.

MAYBE NEXT TIME:

I'LL TAKE YOU

TO THE MORGUE.

- COULD WE?

- SKIP IT.

- ( latch clicks )

- UH-OH.

HELLO, DADDY.

INSIDE, TO YOUR ROOM.

I'LL BE WITH YOU WHEN

I'M FINISHED HERE.

THANK YOU FOR:

A VERY EDUCATIONAL DAY,

MR. LOVECRAFT.

DON'T MENTION IT.

I HIRED YOU TO REMOVE

A THREAT TO MY DAUGHTER'S

HONOR, NOT TO REPLACE IT.

- YOU'RE WASTING YOUR WIND.

- I'M DISTRESSED. TIME'S

RUNNING OU AND I FIND THIS IS HOW

YOU'RE PURSUING YOUR

INVESTIGATION.

DO I COME OVER HERE AND

TELL YOU HOW TO ABUSE

THE SERVANTS?

I'VE HAD ABOUT ALL

I INTEND TO TAKE FROM YOU.

WILLIS STOLE THE BOOK

FOR A MAN NAMED BORDEN.

HE DID WHAT?

THERE'S A LINK BETWEEN

A HOOD NAMED BORDEN

AND A MIDDLEMAN:

BY THE NAME OF:

MICKEY LOCKSTEADER.

I FIGURED MICKEY WORKS

WITH WILLIS.

STILL DON'T THINK

YOU'RE GETTING YOUR

MONEY'S WORTH?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

THIS HAS BEEN:

MOST ENLIGHTENING.

CARRY ON:

WITH YOUR INQUIRIES,

I HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE

IN YOU.

THE NECRONOMICON
