In closing, I would like to assure the residents of this city and this county that the manhunt to find this murdering creature will be the largest this force has ever launched. But until he is caught, the safest place for you is in your home. Now stay off 'a the streets at nights, please. As long as this creature is running loose, everyone's life is in danger.
You on the road, too?
Sort of, yes.
Ahh, running from or going to?
Little beach.
One of those, huh? Six months of running from all of it was blisters. I'm gonna go back.
Where's back?
Portland. You headed North, too?
Oh, sort of.
Look um, maybe this is outta line, and I don't mean it as a come on. But uh, I could really use someone to travel with. I mean, a girl alone on the road is bad enough and with this creature running around, I'm really scared.
[David looks at a police car]
[voice in David's head] As long as this creature is running loose, everyone's life is in danger.
[voice in David's head] He crushed her.
I think you better go on alone.
Oh well um, suit yourself. [they shake hands] But you can't run around in circles forever.
Be safe.
Thank you.
Good luck.
[David is thinking of turning himself in for the supposed murder of Terri Ann]
Hey is something wrong?
[pause]
You need some help?
[pause]
No uh... I thought I was lost.
[David continues walking]
Well, have you any other references?
I'm afraid not.
[to Ellen] Hire him.
Mr. Joslin--
Hire him, Ellen. Don't argue. [to David] I'm James Joslin.
David Blaine.
I hire people on my gut reaction to them. I think we'll get along fine.
Well, thank you. I'm sure that we will.
Ellen, show Mr. Blaine to Sanderson's room. And see if you can find some clothes that will fit him. He looks about the same size. [to David] Why don't you shower and change, be down here again in thirty minutes.
Yes, sir. I will.
[walks off]
[to Elkin] He's the one from last night. I'm positive.
Now, about your new job. [Elkin walks away] You'll have to be available in a 24 hour basis, and live at the mansion. Sometimes the work will be menial like answering the telephone, sometimes creative and demanding like one of our advertising photo sessions. But to all intents and purposes, David, you'll be my assistant. The pay is good. And I think you'll find the fringe benefits most exciting.
[notices an attractive woman in a bathing suit playing golf]
Yes, Mr. Elkin told me.
Good.
Were you here last night?
No uh, I'd rather not talk about it. The thought of that monster crushing her, those white eyes.
No one mentioned any white eyes.
What?
White eyes. No one said anything about them. Joslin described the creature as being big and green, but there was no mention of white eyes?
I guess he did to me. [short pause] Well, what would you like? We have Cola, Ginger ale, all kinds of fruit juice.
Oh uh, nothing for me, thank you.
I saw you in the window last night.
[pause] You were there?
Long enough to see you. [pause] I wanna know why you didn't tell the police? What you trying to hide?
[nervously] Nothing. Just drop it.
Sheila, I have to know what happened.
I can't.
Did the creature really do it?
I can't. He'll kill me.
Who? Joslin.
[pause]
Sheila, if you don't go to the police, I will. Now tell me, did Joslin kill Terri? [pause] Did Joslin do it? Tell me.
[pause] Yes.
Thank God.
I was upstairs in my room when I heard them fighting.
Terri and Joslin?
[shakes her head] I went down to see if there was anything I could do. But they were into it too far. [talks during a flashback] James was furious, screaming that she was blackmailing him into marriage.
Was she?
Yes. She'd been wanting James to marry her for years, but he'd always backed out. She wasn't gonna let that happen again. Terri told him that she knew he'd been embezzling money from the company, using it to pay off old debts. And if he didn't marry her, she was going to go to the police. James couldn't convince her to back down. He started toward her, and then she screamed. I wanted to help her, but my legs wouldn't move. I just watched. Watched as he picked up one of those metal statues and hit her. He hit her in the back with it. Killed her.
What about the creature?
I don't know where he came from. We heard the dogs howling, and then there was this enormous crash. [talks during a flashback] We heard him come up the stairs and down the hallway. Big heavy steps. And then there was this roar. The creature came into the room like an angry animal. He was furious at something. It was James. He started toward him, knocking anything in his path. James tried to hide behind the display case, but the creature just smashed it to the ground. James ran out passed Sanderson and me. He must've come down during the fight. We turned as the creature roared. And then the strangest thing happened. He walked over to Terri, kneeled, and picked her up, tenderly, as if he really cared about her. It was, well, in a strange way, it was touching. The creature actually seemed to be crying over her death. I watched him for a while and... and then I ran.
Leaving Sanderson behind.
I'm not sure how much he saw.
To blackmail Joslin. Then he was the man that I chased out of the mansion.
You were inside?
Mm-hmm. Who was in his sports car?
Elkin. James didn't want his new Joslin girl involved in any investigation. So, he told me to tell everyone that I was the one driving the car.
He also told you not to go to the police.
Yes.
Are you going to now?
David, my whole career depends on James. Anyway, who'd believe me?
Well, with Sanderson backing you up. Everybody.
We don't even know where he is.
I think I do.
It's a nice jacket. Used to have one just like it when I worked for Joslin.
If you think he sent me here. You're wrong. I'm here to ask you to go to the police.
For what?
To tell them you saw Joslin kill Terri Smith, that it wasn't the creature.
[laughs] I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about.
You were standing in the doorway with Sheila Cantrell when he did it. That's what Sheila told me. And that's what she's gonna tell the police.
She's going to the police?
Mm-hmm. And the only way you can avoid blackmail charges is to go with it.
Wait a minute. She told you that she was going to the police, and you believed her?
Yes.
[laughs] You're outta your mind.
[showing up with Elkin (whose pointing a gun) and Joslin] I'm afraid he's right, David. Because James didn't kill Terri. I did.
[seeing the Hulk charging towards them] Oh my God, it's him!
Shoot him! [grabs the gun off Sheila] Shoot him!
[as Elkin is about to shoot, the Hulk grabs Elkin's hand, squashing his gun, and throws Elkin over]
Well, what about the creature?
Well, the creature maybe clear of this murder, but he's still a threat to society. I've been here trying to track him down. I only hope that the local police can say the same.
