Sh*t!

(GROWLING)

The f***?

(SCREECHING)

(OMINOUS MOANING)

(GROWLING)

(EERIE CHIMES)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

So, I dated this pike

like a year and a half.

Oh, Jesus, those

guys are all d*cks.

Such a sleaze, I swear.

He could not keep

his hands off me.

Well, I mean, I

kinda don't blame him.

Well, no, but see,

no respect whatsoever.

Constantly groping me.

What is that?

That, there.

(CASTANET MUSIC)

Mmmm, ow, ow, ow.

What?

This isn't gonna work.

(ZIPPING)

- Mmm, slow down.

- Why?

Because I hardly know you.

What's the matter?

I like you.

And you like me.

What else is there to know?

Your last name, for one thing.

Lister.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Your name is George Lister?

Yeah, so what?

I have rushed

with Carrie Tamlin.

Carrie's a total cock tease.

What ever she says, it's a lie.

Lister the Fister?

I don't think so.

Come on.

Where are you going?

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Wait up!

[EMMA] Ance, have you

ever put a tent up before?

[ANCE] Of course.

I used to be a Boy Scout.

- [EMMA] Oh, you did?

- [ANCE] Eagle Scout, yeah.

How'd it go, sweetie?

I don't wanna talk about it.

Great, I'm missing a support.

Do they, uh, look a

little something like these?

Exactly like that.

Thanks.

[MIKE] Guys, listen to this.

23 dead or missing in Bear

Claw Mountain Massacre.

Mike, do you

wanna maybe help us

set up camp at all today?

Listen to this.

Eyewitness accounts claim

that the victims were killed

by a man-beast eight feet

tall and black as coal.

Local mountain men called

it The Shadow of Death.

How cool is that?

Dude, it just, dude.

Hey, that was not cool.

This isn't a toy, man.

My mom bought me this.

Besides, I'm a man

of science, Mike.

I don't have time for your

superstitious folklore.

Oh, folklore, excuse me?

That was the front page

of the Bozeman Herald.

Guys, something killed 23

people 100 years ago right here.

Something like a bear, maybe.

Pretty hard to imagine

on Bear Claw Mountain.

You know what the

problem is here is,

you three guys, together,

you have zero imagination.

(TENSE MUSIC)

[DONNA] Even your reflection

makes me wanna vomit.

I said I was sorry.

We didn't mean for it

to happen, alright?

Oh, yeah that makes it

all okay, you f***ing dick.

Please, Donna, okay?

What's done is done.

Right now we have to

think about the baby.

F*** your baby.

Let's talk about your

need to f*** my husband.

Oh, gee, for

f***'s sake, okay?

It's like, are you ever

gonna get over this?

Ah, lemme think.

Are you f***ing stupid?

You don't have to yell.

We can both hear you, alright?

I'm not yelling.

Who's yelling,

you f***ing cock...

(SCREAMING)

What the f*** did you do?

I hit something, okay?

It's hard to concentrate when

you two psychos keep fighting.

No, no, no don't

even bring it up to me.

It's your f***in'

dumb c*nt in the back.

You're such a f***in' a**hole.

I didn't do f***in' anything...

Oh, you never do anything...

Would you just shut up?

You fat b*tch.

Just shut up.

Shut up!

Shut up!

And let me take care of this.

Then get the f*** out

and take care of it.

No sh*t, you fag.

(THUDDING)

Do not do that sh*t!

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

I just wanna get the

f*** out of here.

Oh, shut the f*** up.

You know, why don't you

stop pretending to be a man

and let's just call a tow truck.

I swear to God, this is

the worst f***ing trip ever.

I can't handle this.

- Jake.

- Jake.

(THUDS)

(SCREAMING)

(TENSE MUSIC)

(SCREAMING)

(THUDS)

(HEAVY GASPING)

(GRUNTING)

I don't get you.

You want me to be positive,

and then I have a breakthrough

and you want me to

be afraid again?

If I'm curious, it's

just because I care.

You're just gonna

think I'm crazy.

No, I won't.

(TENSE MUSIC)

When I fell into

that black mud,

I swallowed enough

of that sh*t to die.

(ROARS)

(RETCHING)

Dragged all that, all

that sickness out of me.

All that filthy

sh*t is gone, now.

I can just,

I can feel it.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(WATER RUSHING)

No, no, no, what

I need is more time.

What the f*** do

you want from me?

I just got here.

I don't care about that.

We're so low profile,

no one will ever know.

What I need is a week.

Yeah, well, that's why we

have lawyers on retainer.

Send Conner, he'll rip

them a new a**hole.

Call me back if

anything changes.

(BEEPS)

Jason Bonds.

(COUGHING)

(THROAT CLEARS)

Morning, folks.

Morning, Sheriff.

Can I help you?

Got yourself a

permit for this site?

Yes, of course.

Geologic field studies.

Got yourself a county permit?

Just about to head out

and collect some samples.

Well, I hope

you're not planning

on leaving your

site such a mess.

You're just asking

yourself for some bears.

Hear that, people?

Let's make sure the

site is spotless

before we leave it.

We don't want Yogi and

Boo-Boo showing up.

Is that it?

One more thing.

Mmm hmmm.

Gentleman that rented

to site next to yours

was supposed to check out today

and he hasn't shown up.

Hasn't broken down

his site, either.

Anyone seen our neighbor?

No.

'Fraid not.

Well, just probably

got himself lost

and he'll show up

later in the day

on one of the smoke trails.

Welp, ya'll have

yourselves a nice day.

Hey, Sheriff, wait, wait.

Can you tell us about

the Shadow of Death?

Some mountain folks

say there's a creature

that appears every 50 years.

(SCREAMING)

(GROWLING)

It's a horrid abomination

made of darkness, hate

and kills anything

that gets in its way.

But that's just

mountain folk talking,

and they're all about as

crazy as shithouse rats.

You all have a nice day, now.

(THUDS)

(EERIE WHOOSHING)

(BIRD CAWS)

You are an abomination of God.

I sentence you to hell.

(GUNSHOTS)

(SCREAMING)

(GROWLING)

(EERIE MUSIC)

Told you, it's real, dude.

(MUMBLING) it's real.

Hey, Dr. Jones.

Dr. Jones, I think I got it.

Everyone, take a look at this.

The U.S.G.S. satellite

places the epicenter

of the tremor right about here.

We've only got two days

to catalog our findings

before we're kicked

out of here by the EPA.

Why not let them do it?

I'm sure they're

better equipped for it.

And at least they're

getting paid.

We're under the gun, people,

and we have a lot of area

to cover, so I'm gonna

break us up in to teams.

Each group will be

assigned a specific task.

Mike, Emma, you two have some

biological training, right?

Yeah.

And you?

Well, actually,

I was Bio major

before I changed to Poli-Sci.

You're with me.

Mike, I want a complete

biological and chemical

breakdown of the epicenter

and it's surrounding regions.

Ance and Shiela, I want

you two to give full

seismic and geological analysis.

You'll head over to the

second largest deposit

on E7 through E14.

Okay, that leaves

George and Amber.

I want a full environmental

impact log and soil samples.

Tank the core, go

as deep as you can.

I'm your man.

Remember, we're

all on channel 2.

Any and all

findings, share them.

What are we waiting for?

Let's go.

Steve Taylor

Roland Stephen "Steve" Taylor (born December 9, 1957), is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, music executive, film maker, and actor. A figure in what has come to be known as Christian alternative rock, Taylor enjoyed a successful solo career during the 1980s, and also served in the short-lived group Chagall Guevara. In contrast to many Christian musical artists, his songs have often taken aim at other Christians with the use of satirical, sardonic lyrics. In 1997, he founded the record label Squint Entertainment, which fueled the careers of artists such as Sixpence None the Richer, Chevelle, and Burlap to Cashmere. Despite this success, Taylor was ousted from the label by its parent, Word Entertainment, in 2001. He has produced and written for numerous musical acts, one of the most consistent being Newsboys. As a film-maker, Taylor co-wrote, directed, and produced the feature films Down Under the Big Top, The Second Chance, and Blue Like Jazz. After a decade and a half of hiatus, Taylor returned to performing music in 2010 as the front-man for Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil, a supergroup he founded with Peter Furler, Jimmy Abegg, and John Mark Painter. more…
