Screature of the Lagoon

Hey, Sheriff, this is eastbound.

Got no sign of the girl or any of the other kids out here.

I'll keep looking.

Starting to get impatient.

Dammit.

I see you still got those hiccups.

10-4, Sheriff, I'm out.

I'm on the back end of Piney.

Do we have eyes in the sky?

He won't come here.

Says wait, too, too bad there's a storm hitting.

Dammit, you tell David I don't give a shit

if he wants to sit at home in front of a cozy fire

and drink beer.

A girl's life is at stake.

Well, I told him that already.

He's instead.

We already have three search and rescue bodies

up at each end of the park.

Whoo, mercy, them Goddamn kids,

they shoulda known better than to go hiking

this time of year when a storm's blowing in.

Well, I found the girl's boyfriend,

good friends down by old Madison.

They're on their way to the hospital now.

Poor bastards were nearly frozen to death.

Hey, what about that tractor guy?

Ooh, Matt Logan?

He should be here any minute.

And if the state police can't find her, he can.

Matt, where the hell have you been?

Mexico, just got back.

Mexico.

- Haven't even had time to go home and take a shower.

Whoo.

So what have we got here?

A girl lost in the woods.

- Damn kids, shoulda known better go hiking

this time of year.

Well, with a storm blowing in.

But what can you say?

They're kids, right?

Yeah.

Anybody been out there messing around?

- Not that I know of, just us when we get there.

Keep everybody off the track.

If I'm not back in 72 hours, send a search party.

Okay.

All right then.

Damn, you loaded for bear, ain't ya?

- I'm gonna find 'em, Art. - Well, I'm telling ya.

- Don't have time. - All right.

Matt, you be careful if you're going in there.

Now, be careful.

Hey, Matt, it's Sarah, just checking in on you.

I saw on where you rescued those kids

on the news this morning.

I stopped by Cassie's plot earlier.

You promised me you would replace her headstone.

I, I know she was our daughter, Matt.

But it's been three years,

and this has become an unhealthy obsession for you.

You should get help.

Who is it?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, let me in, old man.

It's me. - I'll let ya in.

Dammit, Arthur, can I not even finish my coffee

before you start in on me for another assignment?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, old man, this one ain't for me.

It's a better offer.

- Well, I'm working with the United States government.

It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Matt Logan.

Heard a lot about you on that special mission

where you saved those hostages.

Well, Mr. Logan, I've heard a lot about you, and, uh-

Let me go ahead and stop you.

Mr. Marks, is it?

Do me a favor.

Cut the shit.

Let's get down to business.

- You see, there was an experiment, a creature

that escaped from one of our military bases.

We're going to need you to hunt it down, kill it.

When do we leave?

As soon as I get the sub ready.

You guys will be heading out to Montreal, Canada

in a desolate, wooded area.

That should be where the screature is at.

Also, there's something else.

Just to make sure we're clear on one thing,

if one of you die, can't release to the public

anything about you.

Your death is gonna be classified.

What's this thing called anyways?

- Motherfucker, can this route take any more?

Chill the fuck out.

No, I won't chill the fuck out.

Been on this sub for two fucking hours.

A soldier always has patience, Baxter.

Remember? - Ah, piss off, both of you.

- So did they tell what we're hunting, what we're after?

- Uh, I heard it was a Sasquatch or something.

Well, I heard it was a werewolf.

I don't give a damn if it's either

or the fucking Easter bunny.

I'm just here for the money.

Well, Baxter, I didn't think

you were the one that was funny.

- Well, Mikulik, when you have a wife and two kids

that leave you for some deadbeat freak

and drains your entire bank account,

you might understand one of these days.

- And, uh, Baxter here is going on a crusade

for the other woman to take.

You're so hilarious.

Who's this guy supposed to be?

Oh, you're, uh, Rambo?

Yeah, Rambo wishes he was me.

Really?

You're a real badass, huh?

You're just the size of a.

- Chill the fuck out. He didn't do shit to you.

No, I wanna see if you, uh, read

the mission control orders.

Hmm, let's go over it.

I'd like you to explain it to us.

Okay, you can take that tough-guy attitude

and shove it straight up your ass

'cause I'm not impressed.

You're gonna have to forgive him.

He's an SOA bastard.

- That's soldier of action, you piece of shit.

Name's Mikulik.

You can hang with me.

So don't mind me asking.

What exactly are we hunting?

What are we going after?

It's called screature.

We set up camp here tonight.

So I know what I'm doing here,

but what the fuck are y'all doing here?

- I'm here the same as you, for the damn money.

So, what about you, tough guy?

'Cause I like to hunt things.

It's just what I do.

Okay, everybody just shut up.

That creature you keep referring to,

that was my best friend,

had a wife and two kids.

The G.I. Bill didn't cut it.

So he volunteered for an experiment,

and now look what happened to him.

Hey, Logan.

Logan, where the hell have you been?

We've been searching all over for you.

Hey, I woke up back there.

Where's Erickson?

We woke up, and you both were gone.

He's not with you?

We should split up and look for him.
