Killer Bees! Page #2

Synopsis: Sheriff Lyndon Harris of a rural Washington town tries hard to smoothen life for his people, while shark mayor Ditwaller is out to acquire property after bank foreclosures. Lyndon also has an ex who presses for divorce and two kids, who need his help, especially son Dylan, who is easily lead astray by champion imp Jared Wylie. After noticing a Mexican truck with bee hives and several unusually aggressive bee attacks, Lyndon take doc's advice to consult entomologist Riley Muir, who concludes it's the northernmost-ever case of Latin American killer bees. Despite more bee attacks, the mayor refuses safety precautions, giving sole priority to closing a deal with a distributing company at the honey festival.

Oh yeah, you don't speak English?

Well, the price is good enough,

that's for darn tooting

If May would've been here...

she would be smiling

Danger. Living bees

Well, I'll be...

The Sumas honey queen

has lost her crown

What can I get for you, Zeke?

Give me one of them honey glazed

That's 37 cents

That man of yours come by to bring

me a little greeting this morning

Well, unfortunately, that is not an uncommon

occurrence around these parts

Audrey that's a shame. he's got to

be right in the middle of all of this

Yes, Zeke, it is

I put an extra one in there for you

You take care

- Alright

- Okay

She survived all those tornadoes

Though they drove her to the brink

Yeah

Now I'm drunk again and owing

Cause of little mama dying

m "In.

What the heck? Darn

What the heck are you doing?

You can't drive like that

Oh, man!

Hey, amigo?

You stopped right in the middle

of the darn road

There was no way I could avoid you

Your truck don't have a scratch on it...

Mine is just trashed

Insurance. Give me

your insurance papers

Insurance-o

What the heck are you doing?

Hey!

That's Dittwaller's truck

He's going to get you

He gets everything

This is Dittwaller's truck

Have a nice truck, Mr. Dittwaller

Yeah, I'll handle this, Sissy

53 in a 35 mile-an-hour zone.

That ought to make your daddy proud

My father says those things ain't accurate

Is that a fact?

Come on, Sheriff.

I'm in the same class with Dylan

- Is that a fact?

- Yeah

Base to unit one, got a vehicle abandoned

on FTM 17 at the 11 mile marker

Looks like Zeke's

I'm all over that, Slim

So, can I go?

You can now

Yeah, Slim, it's Zeke's truck, all right,

but no sign of the old man

Zeke... Zeke

Yeah

Well, I guess your troubles are over now

- Slim?

- Yes Sheriff

I found Zeke

He's dead

Call the doc and tell him

to put his coroner's hat on

10-4 Sheriff

Dad!

I'm sorry about Mr. Gillman

Oh, sweetheart

I'm sad too. He was a good man

You know, in the bee world, the women,

known as the workers do all the jobs

Gathering the pollen... tending the hive

Well, that's a nice change

of pace, isn't it?

Hey, what are you doing here?

I'm watching Cassidy

Well, Dylan was supposed

to baby-sit. Help me

Well, she called me up

and asked me to do it

I can't believe I'm helping

my wife get ready for a date

It's not a date. It's dinner

Well, whatever it is

Your babysitter would like to know when

you're going to be back from dinner

Dad, please pay attention

I'm sorry, sweetheart

The male, or a drone's, sole purpose

in life is to mate once with the queen

after which he dies

Unlike us humans,

who die a thousand deaths

Oh, whoa, where are you going, cowboy?

Out

Out?

Out

Dad, relax. I'm going to meet up with

some buddies and jam, okay? Calm

He's hoping to scope out Nadine

Mind your own business, little sister

Nadine, huh?

- I want you home by 10 o'clock

- Come on... Mom?

11:
00

All right, 11:
00, but not

a minute later, you hear me?

Promise

'Night, Ma. Have a good time

You're too damn easy on him

- He's 16

- I know he's 16

Like you weren't staying out

late when you were 16?

Yeah, well, he's a good kid,

and I want him to stay that way

Oh he will. You just have

to cut him a little slack

Hey. Stay away from that window.

You're going to scare him off

'Night, honey

Dang it. I gave her that perfume, too

Where were we?

Hey. Hey, Harris

You want to ride with my posse tonight?

- No, man, I'm kind of busy

- Oh, come on, Harris

My radio's busted. We could

use some music, bro

Yeah, and Jarrod's singing

isn't exactly melodic

- Here are your fries

- Thanks

- Hey

- Hey. Ride with us

Two against one

All right, good

The sheriffs son's riding with us

which means you have to behave, Jarrod

That's right, sonny boy.

I don't want to see no cow tipping

Oh yeah, wouldn't want

Dylan to get caught

Sheriff might lock him in his room

Come on

Well, where are we headed?

- Want to go up to the bluffs?

- Hey

- Let's go for a drive man

- Hello

Jarrod, I thought you said

we weren't going cow tipping

Oh, I've got something

much more exciting in mind

Yo, this is gonna be fun

Let's go

Check this out man

- What are you up to, Jarrod?

- Shh

He's sleeping

Come on, man. This is crazy

No, it'll be like taking candy from a baby

- This isn't funny. No

- Or should I say honey from a bear?

I don't know about this Jarrod

No. Take this, man. Bzz!

What the heck is he doing?

Yo, dude, open the gate

Jarrod, man, it's like 11:30

I promised my parents

I'd be home half an hour ago

Anyone else got to go, huh? Nadine?

- Alright then

- Hey, dude

I promise you'll be entertained

Yo, come on man

Hop in, bro

Hey man, this is Dillard's farm

Come on. This isn't cool Jarrod

We should've gone cow tipping

We should've gone home

Yo, Chucky, open the door, man

- All right, kick the box, man

- What?

No, Jarrod, come on

Dylan...

Band practice went a little late, huh?

12:
15?

Yeah, Dad. I'm really late. Sony

That's all right, son.

I'm just glad you're home

Now, get some rest

Good night

Good night

Now, the farmer said he found them when

he went to milk the cows this morning

Must've been one angry swarm

to take down these heifers

YEP:

The cows must've made them pretty mad

Makes it worse,

panic with bees, you know

Bees can smell fear

What do you know about bees?

My uncle was a beekeeper

So, what do you think,

some kind of kids' prank or what?

Probably so

Oh, Sheriff, I almost forgot,

Dr. Kirney called

about Zeke Gillman...

Blood test results

Well, what did he say?

Oh, are you ready for this?

He said old Zeke... was poisoned

- Poisoned?

- Poisoned

Congratulations, Sheriff

You've got yourself your first murder

Hey, Harris

Jarrod

You didn't say anything to

your old man about last night?

No

Good, good

Just make sure it stays that way

What we've got here,

Sheriff, is a real puzzler

Traces of acid, phosphatase, and melatine

Who'd want to poison old Zeke?

Well, that's what we're going

to try and find out

Now, you see this discoloration

around the neck?

Now that's very unusual and

that's where we're going to start

What are you doing?

To look inside, I have to get

the mouth open

- This is your first autopsy, isn't it?

- Yeah

Well, if you feel the urge,

go in there, not on the body

Thanks, doc

Ah! Sheriff!

It looks...

like we have

a suspect

- There you go

- That's okay

Oh, go take it. It can't sting twice

Yeah. Zeke died of toxic

substance, all right

What, bee toxin?

Well, two or three stings in the throat

could easily swell it up enough

to close off the trachea

The poor guy couldn't breathe, huh?

Bee stings aren't unusual

this time of year, but...

For the life of me, I can't remember the

last time we had a bee-inicted death

Nice going, doc

- I'm sorry, Lyndon. I forgot about your dad

- No. It's all right, doc

You know, Dillard's farm just lost three

head of heifers to bees this morning
