The Forest Hills

- Rico, Emily, get in the damn car now!

Now!

- Ulster County is looking at its biggest dip

in nearly nine years

as unemployment reaches 7%.

Romero news time, 11:33.

- The results are conclusive, Ms. Sanchez.

It's stage 4 lung cancer in your lymph nodes

and your liver.

Your case is terminal.

- Well, ain't that something?

Ain't that something?

Ain't it a bitch?

- I think right now we should start talking

about making you as comfortable as possible,

make sure your quality of life is

as good as it can be.

- I guess Rico's gonna have to get me a casket.

No, but he won't do that.

He's broke. He's broke.

How's he gonna get me a casket?

He and I, we're not on the best of terms.

I know it's a difficult time,

and I'm sure it's very hard not speaking with your son.

But we do have a social worker and a patient navigator

who can help walk you through the next steps.

I don't need that shit.

I would love to introduce you,

so you can start feeling better

about these next moments.

- I'd rather just, you know, wing it.

- Dr. Gonzalez spoke with your mom, Rico.

And?

- It would be best if you talked to her.

- Now why would I want to talk to Mama?

She has cancer, Rico.

Cancer, huh?

That's what the doctor said.

Lung cancer?

And?

- You couldn't catch me dead smoking that shit.

I'm dying and I don't care.

I do miss your dad, very much so.

The belt?

The back of his fucking hand, slapping the shit outta me?

He was a good man.

Yeah, hardly.

Hardly?

Step over here and you'll get what's coming to you, boy.

Boy?

You know, mama, maybe one day,

you'll have what's coming to you real soon,

maybe sooner than when you expect.

One of these days,

you might just turn your back

and find that bastard's ghost right behind you

to knock your ass down the basement stairs.

Or maybe it'll just be me.

- Don't you talk like that to me.

- You have gotta stop with my head, mama.

Don't fuck with me like that.

You're a fucking idiot, Rico.

Don't fuck with me, mama.

Don't you fuck with me!

I'm sure you're aware,

those paintings you did, they suck.

Abstract art, Rico.

Look it up.

Right.

- The doctor said it's good therapy.

Yeah?

Therapy for an old woman dying of cancer.

What's the point, anyway?

- What's the point, anyway. Right.

Exactly.

- Is it time for my medicine yet?

- And the mother of the year award goes to,

It's dog.

- Mama, you're not making any sense

with what you're saying.

Just yap, yap, yap, yap, yap.

That's all you do.

Look at you.

- Do you remember I locked you and your sister in the car?

Mental health,

anti-social,

psychopathic, narcissistic,

paranoid personality disorder,

all traits of serial killers,

my deterioration was a slow burn,

undetected and unseen.

Rico, what did you do to me?

God, god.

Rico!

What did you do to me?

Rico!

Rico, what did you do to me?

Stop!

- Many are aware of what is known

in today's modern culture as the werewolf.

Most believe it's just a fantasy.

But I know it's more than just a fantasy.

I know what I've seen.

The horror, the terror, the macabre,

and knowing the truth has forever changed me.

- Rico, you ready for today's group session, brother?

Yeah. I'll be okay.

Yo, last week,

you went off the rails with that UFO shit.

You know, it's always fun.

I'm not judging or anything.

Yeah, people make fun

of things they just don't understand.

- Now, grays are an interesting topic,

but you know, it's not for everyone.

- Hey, I'm off that shit already.

It's old news.

I've got something more important to say.

Something local, bigger.

Oh yeah? What's that?

Werewolves.

Now, you all have to be very careful

of the beasts out here.

Okay?

I'm not gonna tell you what kind they are,

'cause every single time I tell the locals,

they all just laugh at me like I'm some sort of a clown.

And I know I'm not crazy.

So just be careful of these woods.

Promise me.

This is not something to be taken lightly.

Look, I used to go out all the time, blogging,

talking to my fans,

talking about living life to its potential.

I didn't know the truth, but now I do.

Just be very wary of the unseen.

Rico.

I'm Vernon.

Hey, let me give you my number.

Maybe I can be of help sometime.

Thanks.

Good to meet you.

How the hell did that work?

I used to be happy.

But that happiness has since died.

- I don't hear from you for two weeks,

and then you show up last night, unannounced.

I'm not going.

Yeah, you're going.

No, I'm not,

'cause my job is not done yet.

- Get the fuck outta my restaurant now.

Now.

- I'm not done yet. I'm gonna finish.

You're done, Rico.

Rico?

I need you to answer when I call. Okay?

Rico, god damn it. Where the fuck are you?

Fucking farmhouse!

- I'm sending someone to see you.

No, no, no.

Absolutely not. No, no!

There's a deep, primal,

animalistic, non-human instinct only I can feel.

The wolf wanting to get out and draw blood.

I need to see bloodshed.

I call upon the power of the moon to transform me.

I give myself to the wild

and embrace my new form.

Give me a sign!

No, no, no.

Rico?

You should have died in the car with Emily that day.

That was the plan.

You shouldn't be alive now.

Shut up.

You should have died that day,

but you didn't.

You wanna murder me?

Well, do it.

Murder me in the woods where you know you belong.

Vern? It's Rico.

I hear you have, you know, things that I can use

for like killing,

you know, like an animal.

What kind of animal?

A werewolf?

- Funny you should say that.

Really? Why?

- I hunt them all the fucking time myself.

You do?

- Oh yeah. I got a barn on my property.

Go in, take what you need.

To kill a werewolf,

you need to be prepared.

Sharp weapons are good.

I got this gun too.

Take that and whatever else you need,

then wait for the nightfall,

and you'll be prepared.
