Killer Bees! Page #5

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.

serious trouble here

Well, do me a favor

if we get pulled over by the police,

just let me do the talking, all right?

You still hanging outwith

that Jarrod Wiley son?

Jarrod?

He's up to no good

- Yeah, he's kind of a jerk

- Those are my feelings exactly

You still hanging around with that girl?

Riley?

No, Dad, the other girl. Yes, Riley

As a matter of fact, she was kind enough

to help us outwith our investigation

What investigation?

You know the bees

Well, I thought that whole thing

was just some big false alarm

Well, wasn't it?

We've had a few bee-related deaths

in a short period of time, son

It sure scared the heck out of me

Yeah, but that's cause you're afraid

of bees, Dad. Everybody knows that

Oh, everybody, huh?

Maybe not everybody, I don't know

Yeah, a few free samples

Awesome!

Help me!

Somebody

Get out of here

Help!

Help!

What's the matter, son?

You know what happened over at

the Dillards' farm with the bees?

Yeah?

I was there

Unit one to base

Lyndon Harris... Sheriff

Go for it, Sheriff. I'm still here

Slim, I've got an I.D. on that bee trucker

It's a state bed with Mexican plates

I want you to put an APB out on

all the surrounding counties

and make sure you notify

the highway patrol

Sheriff, I thought we were

done with that bee thing

No, we ain't

And listen to me when

you're done with that

I want you to go find Jarrod Wiley

and bring him in

Can't

Why not?

After he didn't show up for supper,

his ma called here

Thought we might've

locked him up again

He'll show up eventually where

he's not wanted. He always does

It's not an easy choice

Sheriff Harris!

Come over here for a moment

I could use your powers of observation

How can I help you, sir?

Lately you've become quite a bee expert

So how about deciding which one of these

lovely honeybees is crowned queen

Well, I believe we should leave

that decision up to the judge

In this town, I am judge

and jury in all matters

and don't you forget that, Harris

There will be no more

talk of killer bees

- If you say so

- Oh, I do say so

And now, if you can get

the widow Gillman moved out

I'll be a happy man again

Girls, girls

Come down here

I do believe our sheriff doesn't

have a honey festival pin

Well now, there we are

Now, Sheriff Harris, you're one of us

Sheriff, a call from highway patrol.

Bee truck with Mexican plates

spotted on FTM-13

- Roger that, Slim... I'm on my way

- Whoa!

Now, you can't leave

Who's going to move all that stuff?

Looks like you've got a stay

of execution, Mrs. Gillman

That's him

Come on, come on

All right, Slim, I've got him

We're headed east on

13 towards Ferrell Creek

Roger that, Sheriff

Be careful. Remember, that truck

might be filled with lethal bees

Now, how could I forget that, Slim?

Whoa. Whoa, easy!

All right, Slim. He's running

The rummy thinks I'm immigration

I bet anything he's illegal

I want you to call the highway patrol

Set up a road block there

at Ferrell Creek crossing okay?

Whoa! Whoa! Easy!

Dammit

Where'd he go?

Base, uh...

He's bought it. We're about three and

a half miles outside of Ferrell Creek

You'd better send an ambulance, Slim

It don't look good

We got trouble Slim,

the bees are swarming

Sheriff?

Sheriff?

They're coming right for me, Slim.

They're coming right for me

- Sheriff? Sheriff, are you ok?

- Yeah

Yeah, I'm okay, Slim

Tell Riley that...

that swarm is on the loose

We have all seen bees swarm

That doesn't mean they're going to attack

These are African killer bees

Nobody is sure of anything right now

Mr. Dittwaller, please,

with this swarm on the loose

we have to call off the festival

Harris, we have got the Meglo Mart

head honchos here

to see our town at its best

Now, we can't shut down the festival

because of one man's crazed bee phobia

Now, where are you going?

I've been stung once

but it ain't going to happen again

I've got to tend my hive.

The show is tomorrow!

Nobody in this family is going anywhere

until that swarm goes away

Where's Dylan?

He went to the lake, but he said

not to say anything about it

Great

My dad used to bring us

here when we were kids

It's beautiful

Look, he's going

It's cold

Maybe we should sit closer

Okay

NW..-.

Oh, my God!

- Run. Run!

- Help! Help!

Help!

- Go for the tent

- Ah! I'm scared

Run!

Go away! Leave us alone!

- What if they get in?

- They won't. Hey they won't, okay?

It bit me!

Get back!

I promise it's going to be okay

Help me!

Get back!

Dylan? Nadine?

Dad! Dad, we're in here!

I Dad!

Help!

Okay son, listen to me

Listen to me. Just stay still,

try not to agitate them anymore

It'll be okay, son

Come on

Come on!

Dylan!

Dylan!

Dylan, they're gone!

Dad?

- Are you okay?

- Did you see them? They were everywhere

They've got to believe you now. Look!

Come on, come on. Let's go to the car

- Did you get stung, huh?

- Yeah. Just a couple of bites

- Are you ok?

- Better off than that guy

It's horrible what

they did to him, Mr. Harris

Yeah, well, I'll send the coroner

out for him

Let's get out of here before

the bees come back

- Come on. Come on. Go. Go. Go

- Get in, Dylan. Get in!

What happened with

your kid was miles away

A man died

Parker Lake isn't even in the county

It is not your jurisdiction

Who are you to play God

and do nothing about it?

Now, Sheriff, if you can't deal with us

civil-like and stop your ranting

I'm going to have to ask you

to turn in your badge

You can take my badge, Dittwaller

just like you took my farm

but you cannot stop me from warning

these people about these bees

What the heck do you all care

about Sumas anyway?

You done sold us out years

ago to Meglo Mart

Hi, Sidney

We're just warning people that

there are some really aggressive bees

that have come up from Mexico on

some of the trucks, so just be careful

You know, follow what

it says there, stay inside...

Did they finally come to their senses?

Yeah. We could use some help here, Slim

Actually, ma'am, it's Sheriff Slim now

And I couldn't think of a more

qualified man for the job

Now, would you help me gather up these

signs and put them in the truck, please?

Actually, you've got to stay inside

Slim, I know that, but not until I take

these signs down to the parade

The councilmen want you to stay put,

just till the parade's over

You can't stop me

They just don't want you anywhere

near Main Street for a while

Come on... just do it for me

Just sit here and wait until it's over

All right, Slim, I'll see you later

Riley

Thanks

You have a good man there, Audrey

Had

Oh, I think he's still there

You know, maybe I should just spend

the night in case something happens

Okay. Sure, that's fine

You're welcome to stay too if you want

Oh no, I'd better head home

Some good bees will wonder

what happened to me

- Good night, folks

- Good night

We'll see you later, Riley

You've got to get over here right away

and do something, Sheriff, or I will
