Monster Dog (Leviatán)

So what do you say, Vince? Not bad, huh?

Not bad? It stinks.

The next one we do has got to have more punch.

Is that why the record company sent us back here to shoot it?

To give you some hometown inspiration?

Sure. Once we get there

we can take it, experiment, play around

till we come up with something original.

What's going on back there?

Very funny. Very funny.

How many years is it since you last went back home, Vince?

Nearly 20.

Old Joss is the only one left now.

He's the caretaker. He's been alone in the house all these years.

Joss...

I can hardly remember his face.

He was already old when I left.

We kids used to rib him about the way he shook all the time.

We were always asking him to make us malts.

Lousy weather.

It sure is. Goddamn fog.

Oh, jeez, another roadblock.

We only just left one.

Looks like all the cops in this county are out tonight.

They're making a whole big deal

about those mad dogs.

The camper's mine. It's registered.

I used to live up here.

We're coming to shoot a rock video.

Vince Roberts.

Ain't you Lou and Martha Roberts's boy?

Well, I'll be.

Vince Raven--

the guy who sings "my mother's gone"?

Uh-huh.

Holy shit. Imagine meeting you.

I can't tell one of these newfangled songs from another,

but if you really are Lou and Martha's boy,

you sure as hell should remember me.

Sheriff Morrison.

Yeah, I remember. I used to sit on your lap

and piss all over your pants, right?

That's right, boy.

You was more full of water than hoover dam.

And now he's a rock singer, huh?

Just sounds like a big pisser to me.

Flesh and blood,

as I live and breathe.

It's been a long time since I last saw you, boy.

Since your father had--

Oh, yes, I remember.

Well, if it's okay with you, guys, we'd like to go now.

The caretaker's waiting up for us

and it's really getting cold out here.

Okay,

but you know about the dogs, don't you?

Yeah, we'll watch out.

There already have been five deaths in the area.

Five? At the other roadblocks

they only mentioned two deaths.

Well, now there's three more

to chalk up to the damn dogs.

The Samples family--

Bill, Jennifer and Peter Samples--

butchered like hogs.

It was difficult to tell

which bit came from where,

just like last time.

Why, what was left

you could put in a plastic bag this big.

Okay, kids,

you can go now,

but be careful.

Vince knows what these dogs can do.

Barricade yourselves in when you get to the house.

Back the car up.

You sure picked a fine time

to come back home, Vince.

Folks around here ain't forgot

that story about your daddy, you know.

Well, take care, boy.

Make sure there are weapons in the house

and don't let nobody in.

Slow down, Vince.

I'm crawling as it is.

Vince,

what was all that about your father?

Okay.

If you don't want to talk about it,

it's all the same to me.

I'd rather not talk about it.

- I thought-- - I said I don't want to talk about it.

All right.

All right.

I'm sorry.

Vince, how are you going to find the way to the house?

With my nose.

What are you laughing about? I'm not kidding.

When I was a kid I could find my way home

- just by the smell. - What smell?

The bullshit. It's unmistakable.

Hey.

What's gotten into you?

I saw something move over there.

I don't see nothing.

Maybe it was one of them things,

one of them dogs.

Well, I guess we'd better go take a look.

What do we do if they attack?

Bleed, I guess.

- Sheriff. - I'm right here, Dan.

Got a pack of doggy cookies with you? Might come in handy.

Come on out.

Show yourselves, you damn dogs.

I'll pop lead into every last one of you.

Yes, sirree.

Hey, sheriff. Sheriff, where are you?

Sheriff, answer me.

Don't get too far away.

Sheriff, for chrissakes, answer me.

Sheriff?

Vince, look out!

God.

Easy, Vince. It wasn't your fault.

Oh, that poor dog. What if we killed it?

Jordan, Frank, I found it.

He's alive, but not for long.

At this rate, we may not be either. Those dogs could be everywhere.

She's right. Let's beat it.

In a second. Jordan, switch on the emergency lights

before someone rams the camper.

And Frank, let's move the dog over to the side of the road.

Okay.

- Vince, don't. - He has to.

Come on, let's get back to the camper.

Who are you?

Now you've done it.

Can you feel the wind?

The wind is lifting the fog

and blowing away the clouds

that cover the moon.

Now he's back at last.

He will command the house.

And all of you--

all of you will die.

- It was an accident. - All of you will die.

Can't you see he's crazy? Make him go away!

You are already dead.

All of you are already dead.

His dogs will not spare you.

He'll find you wherever you go.

And when the moon shines again,

you will all die.

Wait. Let's get you to a hospital.

Hold it, Vince. If there's something out there,

we'd better all stick together.

He was covered with blood. He needs help.

My god, what's that?

The dogs must have attacked him.

Let's go away, please. Let's get back

into the camper before it's too late.

Yeah, Vince, let's get out of here.

I'm going.

I can't just drive off and leave him.

Okay, so I'll drive.

Hey, wait a minute, Vince.

You're crazy to go out there on your own.

You're all chicken. Wait, Vince.

I'm coming with you.

Here, put this on.

Vince, we've got to find him.

Sure we do. He'd be great for our video.

I don't think that's at all funny.

Lighten up. What's eating you?

I don't know,

but I have a feeling, something would like to.

Vince, what's that?

In the camper, quick, everyone.
