Night of the Rats

Good morning.

I'm here amid protests at the Evans City Nuclear Power Plant,

where just yesterday it was discovered

that there's been illegal waste dumping just outside of town.

The mayor and healthcare officials has been notified

but have not yet commented.

We will continue to update as evidence becomes made aware.

I'm Kitty Cooper with Heart7 News,

signing off until further notice.

And let's head over here.

Oh, man.

We're gonna have to check this tunnel out.

Man, that's great.

That's great.

All right, yeah, I think we can get down

through here this way.

Give me one of those.

OK, go check ahead.

I'm gonna stay here and recalibrate this meter.

Got it.

Oh, Jesus Christ!

Christ, get 'em off of me!

They're everywhere!

Fuck, man.

Stupid fucking rats, man!

Get 'em off of me!

Get 'em off of me!

Are you OK?

Yeah.

I had... I had that dream again.

That nightmare.

What are you making me?

The only thing I know how to make,

scrambled eggs and sausage.

Mm!

Ooh, scandal.

Mm-hmm.

Why does it always taste like shit when I cook it?

Because you have a gift.

Is that what they call it?

Mm-hmm.

No, you need to read that shit.

Oh my god.

Is this for real, like?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's for real.

Is this gonna affect your job?

I don't know.

I mean, it really depends.

If they want to come down really hard,

they could just clean house and fire everybody.

So... so I guess I can't drink the water,

huh?

Yeah, don't drink the water, baby.

Now get the fuck out of my chair.

Ass.

You know the pecking order around here.

I'm gonna go take a shower.

What are you doing?

There's a fucking rat in the bathtub!

A rat?

A rat!

A big ass fucking rat!

There's a fucking rat in the bathtub.

You mean a mouse?

No, a rat, a big ass rat.

I know what a mouse looks like.

We don't have rats.

Oh, we do have rats.

We've got one, and it's big.

Oh.

Kill it.

Are you gonna ask it to play singles?

No, I'm gonna smash its head in.

Oh my god.

Calm down.

It's just a fucking mouse.

Ew!

Holy!

God damn.

Oh my god.

You want to cook this?

Ew!

How the hell did he get in the bathroom?

I don't know.

I don't think I've ever seen one that big around.

Hello?

Yeah.

No, no.

Everything's fine.

No.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll be right there.

Yeah, I can make... yeah, I can.

Today?

Here, hold this.

No, she's fine.

She just stepped on a tack.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Ooh, I'm sorry about that.

Come here.

But I gotta go.

Here.

I don't need a shower.

Look, I understand the problem.

I know what's going on.

Well, I'll send some men down and they'll take care of it.

A pile of leaves is not the end of the world, OK?

Yeah.

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

OK, thank you.

Yes, I appreciated your vote.

Nuclear waste is no laughing matter, I understand that.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I know the pecking order.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Yes, I'll be in touch with you.

Thank you, sir.

How old are these?

I wouldn't eat that.

Uh, it's been here since I have.

All right.

Uh, no.

So what's up, man?

They're up my butt over this nuclear mess.

That much nuclear waste don't just disappear.

But that's what they're saying.

I thought it was just a little leak or something.

No, no no, no.

I had an inside man got to me and said that we're talking,

like, 20 ton.

What?

20 tons!

That's huge.

Yes, it's huge.

And we think some of it is in our sewer system.

So...

All right.

OK.

What I want you to do...

Uh-huh?

As the health department, I want you to start poking around

kind of where I can't.

Right, right.

A lot of people don't know you.

Right.

I'm just gonna kinda sit back and mind

my P's and Q's, because they're already pushing hard.

Who's they?

The reg people.

OK.

The feds?

The regulatory commission?

Yes, there's been talk about rats.

OK.

They had a couple of nuke workers down in the sewers.

I was told firsthand that these two bodies were chewed up bad,

like wild animals.

The old timer that told me said it looked like rats.

I just killed the rat.

We had one in the shower today.

My wife found a rat in the shower today.

I want you to go snooping around.

All right.

Use whoever you need, some of your people that you can trust.

I want you to get to the bottom of this...

OK.

The rats, the nuclear waste.

But, man, it's got to be kept on the down low.

All right.

We cannot jeopardize our jobs...

OK.

And the city.

I want you to get with RJ.

OK.

I've already talked to RJ.

He's got some of the blood sample.

You keep in touch.

OK.

You call me.

All right.

I'll head over to the lab right now, Frank.

I'll give you a call if I find anything out.

All right.

Be careful.

All right.

Nice turn signal, fuck face.

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Oh, no!

Mommy!

Oh my god!

Oh my god!

Three more mutilated bodies.

Could these tragedies be connected?
