Legend of the Lizard Man

Stanley, just leave it be.

No.

He spends one semester with that boy

and his head's all wrong.

Darnel, you a Gamecock.

Don't let me hear you talking about

no Crimson Tigers like that again.

Your grand pops would've turned in his grave.

God bless his soul.

Well Chris's dad says it's one of the best schools.

I don't give a damn what Chris's dad says.

Stanley!

Don't Stanley me.

What kind of guy from Bishopville

sends his son to Clemson University?

It's one of the best schools to go to.

And

You really gonna do that to your mama?

There is nothing wrong with South Carolina University.

I'll hear no more of it.

Engine again?

Honestly!

This vehicle now just burning money!

Leave it be.

I'll fix it.

Goddammit!

Just for once work!

So?

It's just overheating.

Nothing I can't handle.

Can't go five minutes down the road

without this thing "overheating".

I'm handling it, am I not?

Sorted?

My man.

Just need a little TLC.

Don't we all.

Last season.

Fourth quarter,

Brad Edwards helped us to a 20 to seven victory over them.

When they roll into town in November,

you will have your Gamecock jersey on.

You hear me, boy?

You're a Gamecock.

Not a Tiger.

Now what are you?

Leave the boy alone.

We can discuss this another time.

This between me and Darnel.

Darnel, respond when I address you!

You a Gamecock or a Tiger?

Boy, I will slam these damn brakes

Gamecock!

Okay?

There, I said it.

Now that wasn't so

Nancy, Darnel, you both okay?

I'll live.

What in God's name just happened?

Did something run out?

Is it the engine again?

I have no idea.

It happened so fast.

Felt like I run over something.

Whatever it was, it must have been a big animal.

Lost control of the wheel the second I hit it.

Darnel, you sure you're okay baby?

Yes mama.

What in the devil did that?

Anyone there?

Yeah, but this is really too much now.

Look, we're stuck in the middle of nowhere.

It's not that bad.

It is that bad.

Now I'm fed up with it.

I'm gonna have a very good talk to him

and he's gonna buy a proper new car next time.

We'll see.

Yeah yeah - well yeah, exactly.

About to get hold of his bank account and get some money.

Stanley!

Stanley!

Where are you?

Mom.

What's going on?

I don't know.

Lock the door, Darnel.

Mama?

Shh.

Shh.

Dad!

Darnel!

Run!

A tooth?

Reports are coming in

of the Lee County Lizard Man.

I don't know what they're smoking

over the pond, but get this.

- A lizard man. - The lizard man is here.

Proof?

What kind of proof?

I don't know what you want.

It is the coverup of the century.

They want us to think it's a fable or a myth.

Ha!

Remember when they told us in the '60s

not to take notice of Roswell?

You remember that?

Now we got these little tiny devices

we can fit our entire lives onto.

Just one month ago today

the Torrence family tragedy occurred.

Okay, so today's date is July 14th, 2003.

Yes, I am aware that another milestone is hit.

Three decades of a facade I'm afraid.

Nope, Mr. Sheriff, I do not believe you.

Darnel Torrence is a victim of the system of 30 years now.

I mean we've been covering this for 15 years now.

You have been fooled for 30 years.

There are some people that want to see Disneyland.

Well we want to see the Lizard Man.

Ha! A lizard man?

Next thing you're gonna tell me is that ET didn't go home.

Yeah, it was big.

I mean I don't know if it was an animal.

It was...

A lizard man.

Red glowing eyes.

Seven foot tall.

All the words of one Darnel Torrence.

Yeah.

Red glowing eyes.

The thing you're describing is either a myth or extinct.

You see, there's ain't no such thing

as a something foot tall red glowing-eyed lizard.

Well unless you've been drinking.

The word extinction?

It's the biggest myth I have ever heard.

Facts!

The only truth is that Stanley Torrence killed his wife.

And ran off.

There's no evidence of this creature,

there's no sign of foul play outside of human involvement.

Yeah, we'd fight sometimes.

Stanley Torrence was drunk.

The car was swabbed for DNA

and all that found was traces of liquor.

Yeah, there was like loose drinks and stuff.

Stanley Torrence was a man on the edge.

Bills piling up, but no way out.

He was a hit first, ask questions later kind of guy.

I don't know what to say.

It was...

Let's see the facts here.

Scientists have found no evidence of any reptilian creature.

They have no trace of this tooth.

And the caves!

What about the non-existing caves?

Geographical report after geographical report

prove Lee County has an extensive tunnel system.

Now why can't we open them up to the public, Ranger Gein?

Caves? Come on!

I've been pedaling around here since I was yea high.

You can't cover up what don't exist.

Sighting after sighting,

people know your dirty little secret.

South Carolina is hiding something.

Problem is people are all too woke now.

You will not hold us down any longer!

Research, people!

There are no caves under Lee County.

No coverup.

No conspiracy.

Missing people year in, year out, common denominator.

Last known whereabouts.

Lee frickin' County.

People go missing all the time.

I ain't seen any evidence of it happening exclusively here.

Fake news!

Clickbait gone mad!

Missing people go missing all the time!

It wasn't Bigfoot.

I don't know what it was.

It was just, it was something.

The truth is out there and it has always been!

#JusticeForDarnel!

You are glorifying a murderer!

Open and closed case!

I...

I don't know where she is.

I left.

Nobody cares about the real story.

All they want is a plush toy or Lizard Man merch.

Every dollar you spend is blood money.

And I got my Lizard Man merch.

Lizard Man Festival 15, yeah!

A million dollars.

This joke has gone on long enough.

For years that reward has been up

in Lee County for the capture of the beast.
