Killer Bees! Page #6

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.

Sissy, I don't know.

I'm not even the sheriff anymore

- Then, who do I call?

- You're just going to have to call Slim

I don't have his number

0-1-1

I don't need no 9-1-1

I've got my old shotgun.

That's all I need

Maybe you'd better stop by one last time

One last time

They could come in the vent

The ue

I have to close the ue

Leave me alone!

Somebody help

Leave me alone

Sissy?

Are you there? Sissy!

God!

She's dead!

Sissy's dead

- It was horrible

- What?

The whole place is just infested

with hives, but the bees are gone

If they tried to make her home

into a colony and left

Either it wasn't suitable for

the queen or it wasn't big enough

That swarm's got to be huge

How are we going to stop them?

Unfortunately, there isn't a can

of bug spray big enough

What we've got to do for now is

just get everybody out of the open

until the swarm just naturally disperses

Large gatherings, loud noises,

strong odors, fragrances

that's what the bees are attracted to

- Large gatherings?

- Yeah

Like a fair with a loud rock band

and people walking around eating cotton

candy and pizza, that sort of thing?

The honey festival

When one of these bees stings,

it releases something called pheromones

a chemical alarm message that causes

other bees to become agitated

and not just African bees,

European honeybees as well

With all the pollinators in the area

Do you have any idea how

many bees that could be?

Dang it. I told them not to go out today

It's Cassidy's presentation,

Dylan's debut with his band

Maybe we'll get lucky and that

swarm will just y right over

And maybe they'll drop little jars

of honey with sympathy notes

This year's Honey Festival is the best by far

We have a bench for all ladies

For the kids, we have free meals and rides

Remember, with the purchase

of any two jars of honey

You receive a Honey patched

T-shirt absolutely free

Three years? It's just...

I never would have thought that you...

You look so young

It's a great company

to work for, Meglo Mart

I mean they've been so successful

Hey thanks

A bee swatter

Pretty nice

Little bees

So, would you like to see

a little bit of our little town?

You have 2 days to choose everybody

Making their debuts on main stage

We're proud to present

Sumas' own "Sky Rider"

Where's Dad?

I'm sure he'll be here any minute

He wouldn't want to miss this

Unit one to base, come in, base

Unit one, there's no one at base.

We're all down here at the fair

Wait a minute, Lyndon, is that you?

Yeah, this is me, Slim

I'm glad you called

Look, we need to get that

police car back

Well, how about... I just drive it

over there, right now, Slim, huh?

Now? Sure, all right

Ah! Slim, you don't happen to have any

bees over that way right now, do you?

Bees!

- Killer bees!

- Slim! Slim. Are you there?

Killer bees!

Go! Get inside!

Bees! Killer bees!

Okay. I want everybody to remain calm

Please, whatever you do, do not panic

I would like everybody to make their way

slowly towards the parking lot

Why?

Do not panic. It's...

Just remain calm, all right?

Get away

I have a terminal illness Lyndon

so it doesn't make much of

a difference what happens to me

but you might want to think twice

about what you're about to do

although I've heard these guys in Vienna

are pretty close to finding a cure

Someone's going to have

to get that rail road light fixed

Dylan!

Slim, what's your 20?

By the barbecue

Slim, where is my family?

I don't know

- The bees... where are the bees?

- I don't know

Damn, my first day as sheriff,

and it's a total freak show

Where were you during all this?

I tried to warn them,

but they wouldn't listen

They just panicked and ran

in every direction

and then I hid in one of them trucks and

when I came out, everybody was gone

All right, Slim, I want you to go check

farm implements and dairy home

I'm going to cover livestock and poultry

and then the young agrarians hall

All right

Darn!

This is so weird

Wait a second. Do you hear that?

I found them

Looks like they must have

run inside the hall for shelter

The bees are calm now

Busy forming a new colony

but if we disturb them, they will

sting everything that moves

and we've got to keep them inside

or they'll swarm again

Dad!

Look who I found

pa!!!

I made Mom bring me

It's okay. It's okay... Hey

I'm glad you're safe

This is all my fault

I'm scared, Mom

Soaml

All right, so what are

we going to do?

That is one enormous super

If I were trying to pull honey out of there

I would just fill it up with smoke

Okay. Slim... here's the keys to the 4x4

Look, we don't have

to do that now

Would you just listen to me?

I want you to go to the squad car

and grab all of Riley's bee equipment

and bring it back here now

Oh, okay, I get it

Son

Look, I don't want you to worry, okay?

I'm going to get your mother

and your sister out of there

I'm going in

No it should be me

Whoever goes in there

is going to get stung

With the immunity my

system has built up

my body can probably withstand 20

times the lethal dose of bee toxin

Whereas with your family history

Mom, they're making a hive,

and we're in the middle of it

Don't disturb them

Okay

Oh, hey, hey, are you okay?

- Just a little tremor

- What's the matter?

That last episode I had,

I'm still not over it

Well, why didn't you tell me?

With me, there's always something wrong

I can't let you go in there

Just let me go. I have nothing to lose

- You have a family who needs you

- I don't know

I'm going in there

What's the worst that

can happen? I get stung?

I can think of a heck of a lot worse

Look, let me tell you something

lfl let you go in there,

I don't want any heroics, okay?

You be careful

I will be. Don't worry

Let's kick some killer bee butt

It's her, Mom! It's Riley

Get a hold of yourself, girl

0k. Two or three at a time

Go ahead. Don't disturb the bees

Don't worry. She'll get to us

Come on

Slow down, slow down. Slow

Slow down

Inside. Inside the building

Run for the car! Now!

Riley!

I can't see!...

Hey, that's them

It sure is. Riley must've gotten to them

Something ain't right

What do you mean something isn't right?

What are you talking about?

That's Morse code.

They're sounding out an 8.0.8.

s.o.s.?

What are we going to do?

Looks like I have to go in there

What do you mean you've got

to go in there, Dad?

- The place is just crawling

- Just calm down, Dylan

And run and get me that

other beekeeper suit. Now!

You know, if we had a ame thrower,

we could just burn them out

Burn them out...

You know Sheriff Slim, that might just be

the smartest thing you've said all day

- It is?

- I mean, it's a bit radical, but...

We're going to start us

a little fire of our own

Look for the keys

Thanks, Slim

Oh, by the way, did I ever

mention that I was afraid of bees?

Hey, don't do anything

stupid, okay? Just...

- get Mom and Cass out
