a hunting posse together,

blast that thing on sight.

- Are you sure we should

be doing that, Mac?

Like I mean, look what he did

to all these people!

- I guess I should expect

that kind of attitude

from a guy

who can't even issue a ticket

without breathing

into a paper bag.

Damn it, Todd, I don't

expect you to participate.

As a matter of fact,

I would prefer that you didn't

because I don't need you

choking up if things get hairy.

You go on back into town.

I will call you

if I need you.

I'll wait here for Teresa

and help her clean up this mess.

Meantime,

I gotta make some calls.

Go, now!

Shirley, Shirley,

are you there?

For the love of god,

is there somebody at the office?

- Whoa, where do you think

you're going?

- Out.

- Whoa, not tonight, you're not.

- But I'm supposed to

meet up with mace.

- I'm pretty sure the sheriff

is keeping mace in tonight, too.

- It's Friday night, Todd.

- One night in is not going to

ruin your social life, Veronica.

- Well, this is totally unfair.

I already have plans.

You can't do that.

- I just did.

Listen,

it's just one night, okay?

Please.

It's not safe out there.

- Not safe?

In golderton?

- I know you think

I'm being overprotective,

but there's been

a string of violent murders

in the last day or so,

and no one knows

what's going on.

I mean,

we think it's an animal,

but we don't know for sure,

so believe me,

you don't want to be out there.

- And you're only doing this

because you love me, right?

- Hey, what did I just say?

- I'm not gonna sit here

and watch you stare

at the video camera all night.

I'm going across to Tracy's.

- Fine, but nowhere else, okay?

- Okay.

- All right.

And I got us

some Chinese food.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

[ARGUING IN CHINESE]

- Hey.

- Hey.

- What time are Rick and mace

getting here?

- Oh, they just texted me.

They're gonna be a little late,

but they'll be here after dark.

- Tracey--

[SPEAKING CHINESE]

- [SPEAKING CHINESE]

Tonight's gonna be so much fun.

[BOTH GIGGLING]

[DOOR LOCKS]

- [LAUGHING]

This 24-carat egg roll

is in for a big surprise.

Don't forget to tell 'em

Billy sent you--

back to hell!

Yeah!

[BLOWS ON FLAMETHROWER]

- [SIGHS]

Hey, listen up, gentlemen.

Glad you all could make it

out here tonight.

I don't know exactly what it is

we're dealing with.

It's looking like

the work of a bear or,

I don't know,

a massive feral boar,

but it has killed

a lot of people

in the last few days.

I called you men

not just because you're

the best hunters in the area,

or the meanest,

but because you're

the bravest men that I know,

no offense, ma'am.

Now, I figure

we can cover more ground

if we divide ourselves up

in a few groups, take quadrants.

Tibbs, you and junior

take the area along route 21,

work your way

around the Butler property.

Chad and John, you can take

the southeast quadrant.

Callahan, you can take

the western edge of the property

up to Smith road.

Caveman, you and eyeball

can check out

the old mine entrance.

I'll stay here at home base

in case whatever it is

comes back.

Set your walkies

to channel four.

Let's stay in

constant communication.

Keep each other aware

of your positions.

I don't need someone

to get shot

because one of you

wandered too far off

in one direction

or the other.

Any questions?

- What are we gonna do

when we find it, sheriff?

- I'd rather attack it

with all eight of us.

Radio us, and we will kill it,

together.

Sun's going down, boys.

Good hunting.

- Let's do this!

[CREATURE GROWLING ON VIDEO]

- Shh!

What are you doing?

Stop making all that noise.

Why don't you just

blast an airhorn,

let them all know

we're here!

What's your problem?

- What's my problem?

It's Friday night,

I'm 19 years old,

and I'm walking around

in the middle of nowhere

with my dad

instead of hanging out

like every other teenager

in town.

- Well, you see,

if you were a manchild,

you'd be having

the time of your life.

See, I thought

coming out here

and shooting the hell

out of something

would be some great

father-daughter bonding time,

but no, you've got to get

all crybaby on me.

Why don't you go on

back to the house

and have mama put

a little skirt on you.

Don't point that

in my direction.

What are you, nuts?

Junior, where you going?

You got the trots?

What're you doing, girl?

Ooh! Junior!

Junior, you all right?

I've never seen you get...

[SCREAMING]

[CREATURE GROWLING]

- [SCREAMING]

No, no!

[CREATURE GROWLING ON VIDEO]

- [SPEAKING CHINESE]

[BREATHING SLOWLY]

- Melting from your body.

Teresa!

Hello, um, is Teresa home?

No, she's probably

still at the hospital.

Do you remember

the other night

I overheard you repeating

the words [CHINESE WORD].

What does it mean?

[CHINESE WORD]?

Here, look, look,

right here.

Look in there.

[CHINESE WORD].

- [GASPS]

I was hoping that I was wrong

about all of this.

- You speak English?

- Duh!

I've been speaking English

since long before you were born,

you numbskull.

Get in here.

We got to talk.

Come on, come on.

- What does

"[CHINESE WORD]" mean?

- "[CHINESE WORD]"

Means "vengeance".

I've been hearing the stories

when I was growing up,

but I didn't want to

believe them.

I thought it was some

stupid old superstition.

It all started

with the Butler gold mine.

William Butler opened the mine

around 1840 or so,

and what he called employment

was nothing more than slavery.

That mine was a death trap,

and he didn't care.

He was blinded by greed.

He just wanted gold.

He had no concern

for the miners.

It was only a matter of time

before tragedy struck.

There were five men in the mine

the day it caved in.

Butler abandoned the miners

and went to the other side

of the mountain.

Families of the miners,

they could hear the men

deep inside,

screaming and crying for help.

All Butler did was he opened

another part of the mine

and continued working.

- I've never heard

any of this before.

How did he get away with it?

- History is written

by the ones that lived,

not the ones that died.

But that's not

the end of the story.

One of the miners' wife

was a [CHINESE WORD].

We call it a witch.

The [CHINESE WORD]

cursed the place that night,

and gave life

to the dead spirits

that were trapped

in the mine.

The legend says

the dead bodies of the five men

took a form of one

with five heads.

The [CHINESE WORD] created

a creature of vengeance,

name it [CHINESE WORD].

The five heads beast

has been lying there

and waiting

for all these years

gathering its strength

until something break it free.

- [LAUGHING]

- Shut up!

- Yeah!

- Hey, can't you read?

The sign says

no trespassing.

- Don't go down there!

Idiots!

Dumb ass kids!

[CREATURE GROWLING

AND SPEAKING CHINESE]

- Come on out of there,

you son of a b*tch.

Anybody got anything?

Hello?

Where is everyone?

Great.

- Rock. I win.

- You always win.

- You do realize you always
