Episode 1.4
EXT. CAR IN WOODS
A WEREWOLF stands over a car - it's steamy, Titanic-style,
the car is rocking.
INT. CHRIS AND JESSE'S APARTMENT, NIGHT, CONTINUED
Reveal the werewolf is on a TV screen. Tom, Jesse, and
Samantha are lounging on the couch, watching a werewolf
movie. Tom is mimicking the facial expression of the
werewolf on the screen. Courtney walks in the front door.
COURTNEY
Hi guys. How's my little wolfman?
She pats Tom on the head and sits next to him on the couch.
TOM
Why do you guys think my
lycanthropy is funny? You won't
think that when the vicious beast
inside me is tearing open your
throats and eating your hearts.
SAMANTHA
You're not a werewolf, Tom.
COURTNEY
Where's Jacob?
TOM
Yeah! He knows weird stuff. He'll
believe me.
COURTNEY
Jacob's beliefs in the otherworldly
are not "weird stuff". Science and
mysticism both deal with that which
we cannot explain.
SAMANTHA
Sure.
TOM
Like I said: "weird stuff."
JACOB (late 20s, wearing a clown costume) enters the front
door. Courtney bounds up and over to Jacob. Halfway to him,
she starts sidling, trying to act cool.
COURTNEY
Jacob!
Tom cocks his head like a dog listening.
TOM
Whoa, Courtney, your heart rate
just shot WAY up. You should get
that checked out.
COURTNEY
What? No it didn't. How do you
know? Shut up.
TOM
Werewolf senses.
COURTNEY
Hey everyone, did I tell you about
the girl at yoga I'm gonna set Tom
up with? She's so cool.
JACOB
When did you get werewolf senses?
Tom suddenly looks towards the window.
TOM
Oh god... the moon... Quick, guys,
tie me up!
SAMANTHA
If you were a werewolf last night,
wouldn't we have to wait 4 more
weeks?
JACOB
Tom's a werewolf?
TOM
(begins writhing)
I'm changing!!!
JACOB
The moon wasn't quite full last
night. Tonight's the real full
moon. In some lore, werewolves turn
all three nights.
TOM
My hands!!!
SAMANTHA
Really? Now it seems like you're
making things up.
COURTNEY
NOW it seems?!?
TOM
(writhing)
Oh god, it's happening... I'm...
I'm becoming...
(and then, in a deep, guttural voice)
WOLF.
Everybody watches Tom writhe for a little bit.
JACOB
We could just tie him up. Better
safe than sorry.
SAMANTHA
Don't feed his delusion.
TOM
The hunt calls...
Chris enters.
CHRIS
Honey, I'm home!
JACOB
(to Chris)
Do you guys have handcuffs?
CHRIS
Ohhh, what an assumption! Put us in
a box. How dare you! And you say
you're an ally.
TOM
Meat.
JESSE
Yes, we have handcuffs.
TOM
AaaooowwwOOOOOOOOO!
Tom starts tearing his shirt off, revealing his hairy,
hairy, hairier? but still human, body. He drops behind the couch.
JACOB
AAA! Jesse! Chris! Where are they?
A flurry of activity as Jesse and Chris search for their
handcuffs, Jacob gets dishtowels that he twists and ties
together, and Samantha inches towards the couch in a
fighting stance. Courtney dives behind the couch.
INT. A SCARY LIVING ROOM
Blood curdling scream, flesh tearing. A werewolf emerges
from behind a couch clutching a head (that looks a teensy
bit like Courtney) in his claws.
INT. CHRIS AND JESSE'S APARTMENT
Reveal this is still a movie on a screen, and the group is
huddled behind the couch.
Reveal Tom lying like a dog on his back getting a belly run
from Courtney.
COURTNEY
I guess he's more of a... gentle
werewolf.
Tom rolls over and falls asleep.
Credits (writers Brendan Weinhold, Stina Pederson, and Jesse Bangs)
INT. AUNTIE'S OFFICE
AUNTIE (50s, powerful) stands in front of a wall map and
circles parts of it. Agent J stands behind her with a
clipboard in front of her pregnant belly. A motorcycle
helmet sits on the desk. Auntie turns and sees Kayla (Agent
K) in the doorway. We never see Kayla's face in this scene.
AUNTIE
More mauled mule deer in Belmont
Canyon, Agent K. Agent J is taking
maternity leave, so you'll take
point this time. You're ready.
Agent J picks up the motorcycle helmet and tosses it to
Agent K.
AGENT J
Take care of Matilda, K, K?
Kayla puts on her motorcycle helmet, pivots, and leaves.
AUNTIE
You named the motorcycle Matilda?
