Iron Invader Page #3

---

It shook the freaking

building.

And he ain't been

drinking Earl,

and it's a fact that something

very strange killed Ethan.

But where did it go?

I don't know where

it went Earl,

maybe it went back

to the scrap yard.

Alright fellas, settle down.

Here's the coroner.

We'll get to the bottom

of this.

I haven't seen anything

like this.

Every artery in his body

is distended.

Distended, what does

that mean, distended?

It's when an internal pressure

causes an artery to swell.

Caused by what?

It would have to be some kind of

an extreme bacterial infection.

Like that ecoli?

Yeah, I need

to do blood work.

You're saying poor Ethan

died from eating bad meat?

Are you kidding me?

Are you trying to blame Ethan's

death on a bad hamburger?

I saw what killed him, I saw

it with my own two eyes,

it wasn't a piece of meat.

Jake believes that his

brother was killed

by some kind of machine.

I see no external

injuries or bruises,

this man died of

internal causes.

Only a severe bacterial

infection could have done this.

This is ridiculous.

Jake, where you going?

I need to do an autopsy

right away.

If this man died of ecoli

we need to trace the source.

Alright then do it.

[dramatic music]

[knocking]

Hello?

[knocking]

Lets go check the bar,

come on.

[dramatic music]

Oh no no.

Jake.

What do you think

you're doing Jake?

What does it look like

I'm doing?

You think you're going to

hunt down some machine

you think you saw?

I'm not crazy Bill,

I know what I saw.

Alright then.

Do me a favour and leave

that rifle behind.

I have a permit.

I'm not breaking any laws.

But I just hate to see you doing

something you might regret.

Are you done?

[car engine starting]

[country music]

Alright, that's it,

last call.

It's closing time.

It ain't closing time.

Look around you Harry,

you see what I see?

A freaking empty bar

that's what.

No offense but

you're not exactly

the biggest spender in town.

I remember when your Pa used to

pack them in here every night

no matter what day

of the week it was.

Yes well, when times are

hard small towns like ours

that often get shafted.

Does anyone know where

the Sheriff is?

She can't come in here,

Amanda.

I need to use your phone.

Okay, but she can't be

in here.

If the Sheriff comes

by he'll shut me down

for having a minor.

No, she's staying in here,

it's not safe out there.

What are you

talking about?

Something just killed

my Aunt.

What?

What do you mean

something?

I don't know, it was

like a thing.

It looked like scrap metal,

it was a machine.

Me thinks the lady

has been in Hollywood

just a little too long.

[laughter]

I'm serious Tony!

What's wrong

with the phone?

I don't know, what?

It was working earlier.

The wire must be down

or something.

That thing did it, tore

down the phone lines.

[laughter]

It's not funny,

my Aunt's dead.

Was this thing like

was it built out

of old car parts?

Yeah.

Yes.

Have you seen it?

Yeah.

It's not a machine though,

it's a statue.

My grandfather built it.

The thing wasn't a statue

it moved, it chased us.

It was stolen tonight, okay,

so someone must be using it

to try to scare you guys.

Well whatever it is

it just killed my Aunt.

[dramatic music]

Hello?

Hey, anybody here?

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music heightens]

You okay?

Yeah.

I'll be right back.

It's okay, I'm just going

to look out the window

and see if the Sheriff's back.

Don't get too close.

It's okay sweetie.

Hey, I brought you

some water.

Thank you.

Listen, I'm sorry

about your Aunt.

Thank you.

He's here.

Come on hon.

The Sheriff's back.

Hey Max, so your grandfather's

in the monster making

business now is he?

It's not a monster Tony,

it's a statue, a Golem.

A what?

Sheriff!

Sheriff!

Good evening Amanda.

My Aunt's been killed.

When?

Just an hour ago.

Where?

At her house.

What happened?

Something infected her,

some kind of machine.

A huge robot!

What did it look like?

[loud static sounds]

Piece of junk!

Place needs a bit

of fixing Tony.

Oh what now?

[dramatic music]

Maybe it's the monster.

Hey, you be nice okay.

It's not a monster,

it's a Golem.

Isn't that right Max?

[laughter]

Yeah right, you're

very funny.

[dramatic music heightens]

What the heck?

Oh my God.

It's here.

What is?

The monster!

[dramatic music]

Where is it now?

[dramatic music]

You need a bigger gun!

[dramatic music]

[dramatic music heightens]

[loud screams]

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dramatic music heightens]

[loud screams]

Ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gunfire]

Did you hear that?

It sounded like shooting.

[dramatic music]

[gun firing]

Holy!

Harry!

[screams]

Ahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Claire!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dramatic music]

[gun firing]

Claire!

[dramatic music]

[screams]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's Max?

Did he make it in?

Earl, what is going on?

[screams]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tires screeching]

Run Amanda, run!

[loud crash]

Amanda!

Amanda, you alright?

Yeah.

Okay.

Come on.

Watch out!

[loud clang]

[screams]

Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

[dramatic music heightens]

[loud clang sounds]

Oh God, come on

lets get out of here.

Go go!

[dramatic music]

Holy crap!

What was that thing?

A killer robot?

How do we stop

that thing Earl?

What in Gods name

did you create Earl?

You answer me!

Okay?

How do we kill that thing?

I don't know,

it's just a statue.

A statue!

A statue?!

It killed my brother,

that statue killed the Sheriff.

I'm so sorry!

Where's my daughter?

Amanda she's not here.

I have to find her.

She didn't come back.

Move, let me out Tony.

Are you nuts, you saw what those

things did to the Sheriff.

That's right and my daughter

is out there!

I have to find her!

Those things

will kill you!

[dramatic music]

A little help please!

[dramatic music]

Don't let it touch you!

Move!

Woah woah it's okay,

I saw Claire go

with Max.

She's in good hands,

trust me.

At least they're not in here

with us, right?

I mean they probably went

to go get help, right Jake?

Hey! Hey!

Would you slow down!

We have to get help!

I know, I know, the next town

is like 20 miles away.

I told you it was a machine!

It's not a machine.

Then what is it?

It's a Golem.

What's a Golem?

It's supposed to be

for protection.

So your grandfather is

some kind of a wizard then?

No, he's not a wizard.

He runs a junk yard.

Alright, he built a sculpture

of a Golem

for the town centennial,

I just I have no idea how it's

able to move around like that.

Well obviously whatever

he made is a machine.

It's impossible, okay,

I helped him build the thing.

There's no motors in it,

there's no computers,

it's just scrap metal,

it's all just junk.

This can't be happening.

What are those things?

What do they want?

The phones are dead.

I have to find Claire.

No way, it's too dangerous

out there.

Well I can't just sit here.

Look, we got to figure

out what it is

that we're up against, okay?
