It Lives Again Page #6

---

121 on grid map 20.

Units G and C move along Mulholland

parallel to units E and F,

at the old fire station.

Mrs. Scott.

Here it is, cozy.

Yeah, I'm sure you'll be

very comfortable here.

We've checked the place

sir, everything's clean.

Good.

This is very strange.

I saw this house in a dream once.

More than once.

Maybe it was a nightmare.

Uh, would you get the groceries please?

Oh, sure.

The bedrooms are upstairs.

- Two of them.

- That will be perfect.

Come on, I'll show you

the rest of the house.

- How's your back?

- Sore.

Wouldn't you like to

see the rest of the house?

Clint!

Everything secure?

It's nice out here,

away from the congestion.

No neighbors.

Uh, the only thing they warned us about

was some holes in the roof,

but we don't expect much rain.

We patched in a direct line this morning.

All you do is dial seven.

Seven.

Yeah, Perkins.

Right, that's it.

We'll be here in under four minutes.

And the other bedroom is over here.

It's still somewhere in these hills.

They found a coyote this morning

with its throat torn out.

Nothing else could have done it.

You think it will come for us?

Only if you're alone.

We can't be too close.

It would sense our presence.

It's up to you.

I'll leave you these.

Jesus.

Is this loaded?

Yeah, be careful.

I couldn't use one of those!

Did you see what it did

to your husband's body?

Yes, but that wasn't

ours, that wasn't our baby.

Would you like to see a

photograph of Frank Davis's body?

- No!

- We're volunteers, remember?

Now come on, get the hell out of here.

I'm sorry it has to be like this.

All we can do is watch for

any fresh kills and wait.

And remember, it takes less

than four minutes to get here.

Less than four minutes.

I don't want any man

within a mile of this house.

Is that understood?

Let's go.

Oh, you forgot something.

This is yours.

They didn't even leave

us a car to get out in.

Don't worry, they're

watching from that fire station

up on the ridge.

They know every move we make.

Hopefully.

I'll take the other room.

Good deal.

Hey, don't forget to put

that gun by your bed!

Okay.

Attention, all LAPD and SWAT units,

proceed around left perimeter of reservoir

to grid section 19.

- Reservoir road is closed.

- Three days.

What about it?

Three days we're out in this

brush here without a cigarette.

- Repeat, reservoir road is

- It's got to come here.

- closed to all traffic.

- It's got to kill them both,

that's its nature.

Not nervous huh?

Look at your nails.

Hey, I think we're

too close here.

Well, let's pull back

to the fire station.

Hey we're pulling back

to the fire station.

Attention, all LAPD and SWAT units.

Lima beans, Chunky soup, eh,

and cranberry sauce.

Hey maybe we'll be here

till Thanksgiving, huh?

Meat-flavored, ah, Jody!

Sorry!

Here, look they sent us our mail.

Yeah, thanks, terrific.

It's from Dr. Fairchild.

He-He's, he-he's, you know,

charging us for the delivery!

- He's what?

- Yeah.

And if we don't pay him,

I bet you he'll sue us

and collect, and destroy our credit, too.

Let me see it.

I don't believe it.

Oh, God.

Those stupid bastards.

Who the hell are you calling?

Hi.

Yeah, I just wanted to see

if you were there, bye.

They're there.

They found the body

of a German Shepherd dog

just beyond the reservoir road.

The infant is circling the

house, moving closer every night.

We'd be better off

finding the cause of it,

pollution, drugs,

Units A and M,

- hold your positions...

- instead of just killing it.

I'm sorry.

Biting on a bullet might help.

Where's your gun?

It's by the bed upstairs.

Damn it Jody, I told

you to keep it with you,

now go get it!

- Come on.

- Okay.

It's in the crawlspace.

Use the phone.

- Go on, use the phone!

- Okay.

- Jesus.

- There!

Help me!

Call them back and tell

them it was a false alarm.

You didn't call, did you?

Well, why should I?

Now this time, the mistakes are ours!

- JOdy!

Everybody who believed in this

has been murdered by them!

Get out, I'll do it!

Please, forgive me.

What are you doing?

Don't, don't!

Please put that gun down!

He'll kill you!

Throw it away, throw it away,

let him see you throw it away!

Please, please try!

Please, you see your father?

We just want to touch

you, and hold you, please,

just, just let us touch you.

You see?

You see, he didn't come to hurt us.

He just wants to be held.

He, he just wants to be held.

Gene, feel him!

Just touch him, just

like Frank Davis said.

Oh, Gene, just hold him,

take him in your arms!

Gene, you can feel him, you'll know!

Feel him, and you'll know!

That window's some kind of a signal.

They would have phoned.

If you were afraid of

something getting into the house,

would you leave the window open

in the middle of the night?

You'll feel better.

In fact, we'll all feel better

if you're not so hungry.

That's it.

Go on, eat it all up.

I think he's sleepy.

He must have not slept for a long time.

Did you hear that?

- Okay, start pumping.

- Right away sir.

No wait, they're still in there.

- For all we know, they're dead by now.

- I said wait.

What is that?

Hey, they've covered the house!

You can still get out

through the kitchen,

they haven't sealed it off yet.

- Wait!

- Now put it down!

No, you're gonna make him kill,

you're going to do this to all of us!

He's not hurting anyone, give me--

Start pumping!

In 30 seconds they're going to start

pumping gas into this house!

No, don't, don't!

- Come on, let's go!

- No, go away!

Let it go.

Don't!

Help me, somebody, help me!

Get this monster off of me!

- Stop, stop!

- For God's sakes!

He can't hurt you, I've got

the gun, I've got the gun!

Stop!

Help him!

If you're human, you'll kill it!

Help me, God help me!

Help him, Gene!

I can't, I can't!

Shoot it!

God forgive me.

Let's get them out, come on, get out!

Get 'em out

of here, move 'em out!

Come on move 'em out, move 'em out!

- It's dead.

- It's dead?

- It's dead.

- It's dead, it's dead...

Excuse me, Mr. Baxter?

- Pardon me. Mr. Baxter?

- Yes? Do I know you?

No, I'm Eugene Scott,

we've never met before,

but uh, we have to talk.

It's about you and your

wife.

- Yes?

- And the new baby.
