Stephen King's Silver Bullet: Part human. Part wolf. TOTAL TERROR. Kind of....
Andrew and Jason review Stephen King's Silver Bullet (1985). Sink your teeth into this blast from the past! This film has everything: a full moon every day, a werewolf playing the piano, a man named Red that looks like Gary Busey! Give it a spin!
Unknown Speaker 1:22
And hello, welcome to the rule of scary podcast. I am Brother Jay. And I'm Brother Andrew. Andrew. I'm very sorry, I have some things to say to you to begin with today. I'm very sorry. It's been so long since we've been in front of these microphones and I'm glad to be back. I'm glad to see your face. Yeah, it's it's a good, it's a good, it's good. We had a little time out there. And then we talked a little bit about what movies we wanted to do. We kind of re recalibrated, if you will. We're doing some we're doing some recalibration, we've decided to go with the hot girl summer theme. No, no, no, we've decided that for this summer. Since we're kind of back we're gonna be able to do a few more episodes than we're kind of used to doing we are going to do an all 80s themed summer so these are going to be horror films from the 80s. Yay. I appreciate that. You know, I think it's just Jay kind of doing me a solid there because I can't watch it. I can't watch one more goddamn torture scene. So I appreciate the return to lightheartedness. I need the camp a little bit, you know, keep it light, keep it fun. I think the last sort of 80s ish movie we did, which probably 70s was phantasm. But pretty much everything else has been pretty serious. I think besides that.
Unknown Speaker 2:47
I mean, yeah, it's been it's been a minute since we've done something lighthearted. But I mean, you know, there was like freaks, which was kind of light hearted, but it kind of was a different, that was a different show than we normally do. So it's nice to, it's nice to kind of get back to the grassroots of this. Let's be honest, you know, a lot of people say, you know, like horror films have been around for a really, really, really long time. You know, that's the truth, or films have been around for a really long time. But I know for me, though, horror films I cut my teeth on, were the ones from the 70s in the 80s. So this is going to be a really nice adventure because I get to kind of mix in some of the ones that I that made me kind of fall in love with the genre. So yeah, it's gonna be nice. And this one in particular, I think I even brought it up. You know, I was wanting to do this one. I think when I mentioned it, I didn't remember anything about it. I remember being afraid of it when I was little. So like, unlike some of our other movies, I have seen this one. But before I watched it again, I couldn't tell you anything about it other than its overall theme. And then when I saw it, you know recently I was like, I don't remember any of this. So I did kind of see it for the first time. I do just remember being sort of terrified of it as a child. Right, right, right, Andrew, what the hell are you drinking? Oh, let's not
Unknown Speaker 4:07
waste any time on that. It's a long story I wanted Okay, so the movie we're going to review today is silver bullet 1985 American horror thriller, thriller film based on Stephen King's novella cycle, the werewolf starring Korean Gary Busey. We'll get into all that, but I thought, let's Google some silver bullet cocktails just named silver bullet and there are two. The first one is pretty respectable cocktail. Made me respectable. It's gin. Something called Mittendorf Kuma liquor with lemon. I struck out on that. No way you're finding Kumal it's a herbal, the core flavored with caraway seeds, cumin, fennel, or as an other herbs from France. Just not really sitting on the shelf at your local Dierbergs or Schnucks or insert name of local grocery. So the second thing that came up called silver bullet, it's a bit of a
Unknown Speaker 5:00
An unusual shooter. They call it a shooter. Oh, Mike combines two spirits scotch and gin
Unknown Speaker 5:08
that typically make an appearance and more graceful cocktails yet it you know, it's still a fun party feeling it's as it's one of the strongest shots you can make. It's very simple recipe basically makes gin and scotch and a two to one ratio ingredients. One and a half ounce gin, three quarter ounce Scotch whiskey lemon twist for garnish, pretty easy to make. It's your standard. Put in a cocktail shaker with some ice, shake, shake, shake strain into a vessel like this. God, look at that. You need to put some lemon in there, you want to squeeze the lemon twist over this shot, and then hanging on the rim as a garnish. You know, it's similar to what you'd find in a smoky Martini. So I've read I haven't had any smoky martinis. But you really I want to reiterate the the importance of the lemon in this one. It's used here more for its spreads of flavor than as a decoration will say. So to that happy bride.
Unknown Speaker 6:08
Oh my god. Toe.
Unknown Speaker 6:12
I can almost see fire come out of your mouth.
Unknown Speaker 6:17
I don't remember warrick's Jen just played. I gotta tell you, I didn't know those two things could could mix. But
Unknown Speaker 6:28
I am a tear. I'm a little terrified for you both physically and mentally after this.
Unknown Speaker 6:35
Oh my god, you're gonna want it to be cold. You're gonna want it to be cold.
Unknown Speaker 6:42
Okay.
Unknown Speaker 6:44
All right. That's why well, oh, and then option C. I was just coming. I actually have some cores, which will be making an appearance later because it's the original silver bullet. The old silver bullet. interested. That's I don't know why I think this but I think sipping would make it worse.
Unknown Speaker 7:05
That's a lot. Did you just have to put it out of reach? Yeah, that'll be enough for that.
Unknown Speaker 7:12
Oh.
Unknown Speaker 7:14
Well, like I said, I'm happy to. I'm happy to be here with you. Yeah, and your gnarly fucking concoction of whole. I just I mean, like, I can feel that in my chest when you drink it. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The Scott. Yeah, it gets smoky with the scotch. I'll give it that. But you don't the gin is gone. You don't taste the gin after that. It's the Scotch is gonna just kill the gin pretty much so.
Unknown Speaker 7:43
Oh, well. Yeah, take a deep breath. You've earned it. Yeah, yeah.
Unknown Speaker 7:48
Reading on Sunday, it's Sunday, Sunday Funday. Here when we're recording this we're hoping to have the release be on the Fourth of July because there is a rather important scene that happens due to the cancellation of fireworks for the Fourth of July.
Unknown Speaker 8:10
Although that scene actually takes place in September whenever that's I was the you know, the timeline in this movie is fucking wackadoo. But it is what I can do for that. And I read they had to go back and reshoot that scene. And it wasn't summer anymore when they did it. So but they were able to get the close ups they needed out of it. But yeah, yeah, I thought we talked about doing this for the fourth July because there was a fire fireworks. I guess there's a firework. thing about it is it kind of covers everything? Because, and I can talk you want me to talk about where this came from a little bit? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So it's not just about Fourth of July. This started out as a calendar. I'll just say in short, sort of in the How Did This Get Made. There was a Land of Enchantment was a publisher. He approached Stephen King and hotel lobby. During a conference in Rhode Island. It was a world fantasy convention originally conceived. Stephen King and the artist, also swampthing co creator Bernie Wrightson were brought together to work on this illustrated calendar. That would include artwork by rights and in a brief text by Stephen King for each month of the year. This will be a few years before the two men work together on the comic book adaptation of creep show.
Unknown Speaker 9:21
internet told me that King Of course ended up delivering like, you know, instead of the 12, simple 500 word vignettes he turned in enough material for a book. There is a conflict of interest, contractual issues preventing King from actually making this calendar with land of enchantment. And with rights and spectacular and horrific pen and ink drawings included. Out came the novel cycle the werewolf published as a limited edition hardcover 1983 and reprinted as a mass market paperback two years later.
Unknown Speaker 9:50
Nice. Yeah, so like it. Silver Bullet. Based off of this cycle of the werewolf novella. Producer, Dino De Laurentiis was keen on bringing
Unknown Speaker 10:00
Stephen King story to the big screen and he nabbed all the movie rights added to his projects. The list of other applications. Were the deadzone Firestar. And Catseye. Nice. Yeah, he was into that. And then Fun fact, little early for the fun facts, do it Don Coscarelli. Speaking of Phantasm, and also Beefmaster fame was initially attached to write and direct, but it was rejected by Lauren tiss. And ultimately, first time feature filmmaker Dan AT Ts took the helm working with a script that the author himself somehow found the time to write. So therein lies the fucking problem.
Unknown Speaker 10:36
Yeah, because those two people had very wild, different visions of what this movie should be nice. So instead of a film, or everyone is on board, and all the creative decisions have been made up front, before you even shot, do you know they learnt us was all about the gore? Well, Daniel Attias was more interested in the family friendly aspects of the story, and about the design of the monster, and tell a story about family. And then this other fella wanted to write a story, make a story about gore and werewolves in blood and call this shit. We love to think that's cool. Right? So that helps me. You know, this makes a number of things about this film much more understandable, like the sort of weird pithy flute, pan flute, piano music and scenes in the community. And then also, there's the gore scenes, which are pretty well done. times it doesn't really know what it wants to be, you know, and it has a lot of tonal swings, but it's called classic. What do I know? Yeah, no, I agree with the I agree with a lot of what you said there, it's plain to see that there are times that there are really two different artistic directions in this picture. But I think what we should do now is just, let's just go ahead and jump into it. Because I mean, like two or three, we'll, we'll just, I mean, because you know how we do this, if I can. Just We'll talk it all out. And then we'll be there. Yeah, we didn't talk about the movie at all. I never even told anybody synopsis just already complaining. So I think I like to start these off with a little synopsis that I usually just Google and read through because they're tiny. They're small, right? Somebody already did that work. You don't need my synopsis of this film, but it helps people who maybe aren't as familiar with the film that maybe want to watch it later. Okay, well, the series one a series of unexplained murders occurs in the normally quiet town of Tucker's mill, the residents decide to hunt down the killer. However, many of these vigilantes end up dead and those who don't are no closer to finding an assailant. But when a young wheelchair using boy named Marty, played by Corey Haim encounters a werewolf one night, the pieces begin to come together. Along with the sister and Uncle read, played by Gary Busey, Marty begins a mission to capture the werewolf once and for all. Let me ask you this question. Did you change that? Some? Yeah, I knew you did. Because I think that synopsis referred to him as paraplegic. Yeah, there was some of that going on. I was like, I don't know, like, wheelchair using I don't know, Chair using boy.
Unknown Speaker 13:12
Oh, my gosh. So yeah, so we could talk a little bit about Marty, Marty does not have the use of his legs. That's kind of one of the kind of pressure points of the of the entire film, which is kind of one of those things, it allows for a two things to happen. One, it allows it allows for us to feel like oh, he's in the most amount of danger, because he's kind of already in this situation, like, you know, kind of puts him at a disadvantage when he's trying to flee and that kind of thing. But then on top of that, that also allows us to get behind him as a protagonist, because he is, you know, going to overcome and, you know, kind of be the champion, which is a really, really good thing. Yeah, played by the Corey Haim one of the corries. So, definitely not his only entry into the horror genre. And there is another picture we will be looking at later in the summer. The last voice that we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that. Yeah, I've never seen it. People love it. Oh, my God. I wish I mean, I'm going to tell you right now we're just gonna I'm just gonna say this. The only fucking reason on this planet of Earth that I am even considering doing that film. Don't get me wrong. It's a great vampire flick. But there is this just fucking ostentatious scene where there's a band playing. And there's this giant super muscled man playing a fucking saxophone. And it is, by far and away probably one of my most favorite scenes ever put into our film because it is gratuitous and it is absolutely pointless to the movie, but it is fucking brilliant. You know? So no
Unknown Speaker 15:00
Nice, so I love it. And it is. We will be visiting that little town later in the summer. So fun on a bun but right now we're dealing with werewolves.
Unknown Speaker 15:14
Werewolves are everywhere and 80s. This movie came out four years after an American Werewolf in London and jumped on taste the howling. So that's some pretty heavy competition. Silver Bullet isn't really remembered as one of the truly great werewolf films of the 80s. But it is a classic one, if not both of those other films we will be visiting also later in the summer. And I know we've always said, Well, we're never going to fuck with the originals. We're no I'm not, we're just not going to do it. You can't do an 80s themed summer without jumping into an American Werewolf in London, like, it's just fucking impossible to do. Now, by far and away. Probably one of the best werewolf made movies ever made in the history of the world. This one also a very good movie. When it comes to the werewolf genre, the werewolf sub genre, I guess it would be I haven't broken down into sections, which I used to do. And then I stopped doing and now I'm happy again. Because I've organized everything into segments that I've titled, segment one, werewolf versus Arnie, Intro to target smells and characters. Perfect, right? Let's Perfect. All right, this movie opens with an image of a big full moon in the pan flute, and the credits mineral and movie started with credits. So in case you forgot who wrote it, the opening credits present the film is Stephen King's Silver Bullet handy. I'm going to talk I'm gonna bitch about this voiceover part a lot. There's some there's some plot holes in it. There's some timing issues. But anyway, we get voiceover every now and then throughout the movie, probably in the beginning, the third probably almost at the end and then at the end, which is just like fucking maddening, but anyway.
Unknown Speaker 17:03
Voiceover a month before school that out for summer vacation. We hear the voice that sounds mature and middle aged, we come to understand that this is the voice of Jane Khosla. She's the sister of Marty Kozlov. Yet hold on this movie takes place in 1976 when she's about nine, so she can't be more than 18. It sounds like she's been smoking for years. Anyway. Wait, wait, wait, wait, if she would have to be older than that, because there's a line later in the in the film where he says Jane showing off all of her new clothes and showing off her ticket?
Unknown Speaker 17:37
I don't know. I don't know. I would I would say she's probably got to be at least I would say they were probably reaching for like 15 Because she's driving yet. Smoky bar lady. Anyway. Okay. Maybe the 80s we see a guy on the right. That's just the whole thing. Maybe 80s. Let it go. All right. We see a guy on the tracks, train tracks and this guy is making me laugh. There's comedy in this movie throughout, which I think is intentional. Roger Ebert in his review of this movie gave it three stars. He also thought that the comedy was intentional. I think you have to or else you're gonna have a problem with it. But this drunk guy on the railroad tracks, it says was he singing a wrangled beer jingle? He's hilarious. He's drunk. Most a lot of people are drinking in this movie. But he goes what is it that you want Ernie I want to run gold and he's singing the jingles.
Unknown Speaker 18:30
There's something already lurking in the woods. He gets out from his little car on the train tracks and does some a central clearing of dirt from the train tracks. He sees werewolf footprints or tracks as Oh shit. Then decapitation, and then on his head goes flying in the air.
Unknown Speaker 18:49
And then it's day time and it's sitting on the tracks and then the voiceover begins again. It says the killing had begun.
Unknown Speaker 18:56
But at first no one knew it.
Unknown Speaker 18:59
You see Arnie Westrom was a chronic drunk. So basically, the town chalked it up to falling asleep on the train tracks. I gotta say my fucking favorite part of this scene was like, it shows the claw rear back, right. And then it comes down and then the head just comes off clean. It just comes off clean. Yeah, it's like sailing.
Unknown Speaker 19:23
Beautiful. There's no like, rent, rent rent. No, it just is like, clean. Yes. And there's like this great. I can blood spray. There's the what's the syrup? They use? Ke Ke Yeah, Kara syrup. Yeah, there's a lot of that kind of in this. You know, it's just the cup of syrup being thrown across the camera, the screen or whatever, but I love it. The voiceover is back. This time. What we're seeing is audience we're seeing this small town having what seems to be like an annual picnic or something like the voiceovers.
Unknown Speaker 20:00
As he says tacos Mills, where I grew up, and this is how it looked that sprang a town where people cared about each other as much as they cared about themselves. Then we transition to the town no picnic scene with the band on stage and a big sale type things laid out quintessential is Bill Berg small town stuff. We were introduced to some main characters here. I was new to 15 years old, and my brother Marty was 11. We were introduced to some main characters here, Sheriff Joe, he wants people to take their seats take their seats so they can get this thing started. Oh, tears down here. Come on, right down to down. He turns things over to Reverend Lester Lowe on stage. All right. Without further ado, I'd like to turn things over to our own Reverend Lester Lowe, important to remember him and introduction to Marty in his motorized wheelchair and his friend Brady. The voiceover is back and Marty was the cross I had to bear. He wasn't so bad actually. He was just constantly thrown in my face by my parents. VO is doing a lot here up front. A lot of sort of throat clearing stage setting. Marty plays a trick on Jane with his friend Brady. They have a snake they drop it on Jane from a tree branch overhead while she's flirting with some guys Jane gets afraid of the snake falls back into a mud puddle Brady is taking the job too far. Perhaps. Marty feels this way. At least he feels bad. He apologizes. Janie isn't buying and she says Oh yeah, sure. You never mean to I hate you. You booger fucking love it. I mean, like, that's quality. That's reality. But you know what I mean? Like, that's the kind of shit you get out of a Stephen King involved Stephen King story is that kind of dialogue where you're like, and there's another point well, where I'll point this out later, you get this kind of schmaltzy fucking because that she says it like 50 times in the movie. Yeah. Where she refers to him. Again, that's kind of one of those things where Stephen King, I don't know if he just never met people before. He was like in his mid 30s. But he was like, this is the way all little girls talk. You know, like, the funny thing here. So anyways, that's just one of those things that always stuck with me about this picture was like, there's kind of a grid with this use of that. So well. Also, I think that probably the picnic is because of Memorial Day. So my guess is that'd be like Memorial Day weekend. Yeah. Which would kind of mark like the end ish of the school year? Yeah. Yeah, I got two things here. One.
Unknown Speaker 22:29
That's why Gary Busey is Uncle read, I think is so endearing. I read the Gary Busey ad libbed a majority of his lines. And when the director told Stephen King about it, Stephen said he was okay with it. Let him do it. I don't care, you know, sure. So, you know, you got to see him actually say things that were a little more natural and act more natural, especially in that scene when he's like talks about how he loves Mario and stuff. So so sweet. Second thing. There are a lot of full moons in this thing, right? Remember, this was a calendar. And you know, Stephen King had a full moon on every month in the calendar. But there's this great note and the original novella, he writes, any dedicated Moon watcher will know that regardless of the year I have taken a good many liberties with the lunar cycle. Usually it takes advantage of days like Valentine's day, July 4, etcetera, which marks certain months in our minds. To those readers who feel that I didn't know any better I assert that I did. But the temptation was simply too great to resist. And that's good, because the timeline in this movie is crazy. It's a full moon every day, like how much time has gone on? Right? Yeah, so and they do try and pick that up closer to the end of the film. And we'll talk about that a little bit. They try and clean that up a little bit. Yeah, just through beauties dialogue, which is, which is a good thing, you know, but
Unknown Speaker 23:50
it kind of gives you a little bit more clarity. But But yeah, this that's part of the reason that this movie was a good choice for this podcast is because the major stumbling block is like kind of the Fourth of July where they kind of shut down the fair and they shut down the fireworks and all of that shit. And it's like where you can see kind of Marty get to his lowest? Yeah, right. So when he's kind of kind of scraping bottom, so yeah, I'm glad that you talked about that, because
Unknown Speaker 24:18
it's all over. Yeah. Yeah. Jane has changed hands on a bush. Jane is on a bush crying, wiping off mud pulling her shit together. So together she sees a man and a woman arguing this woman is distraught. The man says ain't my baby. He's pretty adamant about that. It's a weird little vignette. You really have no idea why that has been inserted. And then that's the end of the scene. Della Randolph was hurt. Why don't you tell me that? Because that's her name. I don't know.
Unknown Speaker 24:48
She went on to become a Broadway actress. And that's just no no the character in the story. Oh, killing Randolph. That's fun. She's not she was not pregnant in the book.
Unknown Speaker 25:00
Look, I think she was just depressed kind of thing.
Unknown Speaker 25:03
So next we see drive home with the family and the big station wagon with the trailer pulling the wheelchair. The story takes place during the spring of 1976 with Marty's parents drive in 1979 stationwagon whatever Jane says. You always take his side because he's crippled. Marty has a motorized wheelchair. It's like a go kart almost it putters around it's pretty neat while getting out of the car at home, Jane razzes Marty about his great uncle the chronic drunk. I'm not sure why she's teasing him about his uncle at this point. Other than that, they have to set up that Marty kind of work just worships his uncle who has flaws. We don't meet this uncle for some time. But this is the intro to Uncle read, played by Gary Busey, which we mentioned. She definitely is doing that because her feelings were hurt. Yeah, from the picnic. So there's a little bit of character development, what their relationship really is about. It's kind of love hate depending on the time you had set it earlier. Like she's kind of in charge of making sure that he's okay all the time when really, nobody needs to be in charge of that, you know? Yeah, he does find for himself. That's about it. Marty enters Jane's bedroom at night. He puts a couple of bucks and some change on her nightstand for the pantyhose which were ruined by the snake prank. Yeah, they make up they have a sweet relationship really. Which, you know, kind of reminds me of my sister a little bit like, on the outside, it looked like chaos and everything. But there was a you know, internally, there's an admiration for one another and I probably shouldn't do that snake on kind of stuff, you know?
Unknown Speaker 26:34
Oh
Unknown Speaker 26:38
that's very nice. Oh, it's very nice. That brings me to my next segment.
Unknown Speaker 26:44
Werewolf versus lady werewolf versus shed introduction to Uncle read. Perfect. All right.
Unknown Speaker 26:52
This is the lot.
Unknown Speaker 26:56
The pregnant lady from the park takes a handful of pills. She's at her home or a home and a bedroom. Maybe upstairs. She's upset she's going to kill herself.
Unknown Speaker 27:05
This is interspersed with Yes, della is her fucking name. I go back pregnant.
Unknown Speaker 27:13
I was about ready to exit stage left anyway. This is interspersed with wearable things creepy claw on the trellis lightning. He crashes through the window. There's a lot of clogging of Stella won't say the lady. See the eyes. We see a lot of the werewolves eyes throughout this whole thing. That's how we know there's trouble. It was Stephen King who insisted that the werewolf be cloaked in shadow and not as visible or monstrous as other werewolf movies. So when we do see him, I think it shows he's always it always feels like a big clumsy kind of rubbery werewolf costume. I read the werewolf suit was the subject of much controversy behind the scenes.
Unknown Speaker 27:57
Production began before the suit was even made and Dino was never happy with the final product. But hey, you got timelines getting the costume. Then screaming more lightning. An old lady from downstairs grabs a gun from the hutch thing. She makes it upstairs opens the door. We see the
Unknown Speaker 28:14
Stella Stella she's been scratched up to death pretty bad. She's on the bed upside down. And the lady with the gun loves to have a scream and have seen love it. Then we're introduced to Sheriff Joe who I was like who is this? It's Terry Quinn. I don't know what else he's been in. But I used to be a big fan of the show last and he was a huge character on the show last for many years. He's a sheriff. He's in his office. He says Hey, fuck off on the phone to a detective on the phone. But we learned he didn't really because the detective had already hung up. So I think that's just trying to show us that Joe was a jerk. He's kind of a nice guy. Then there's this other asshole.
Unknown Speaker 28:52
That fucking guy. Andy, do you know about this guy? This fucking guy at so they're constantly at this bar. It's Owens bar. I'll just tell you it's called Owen and Stephen King named after his youngest son. Oh, and the bar owners named Owen something. We're at this bar. It has this wood paneling. It reminds you of a bar that you've been in. If you grew up in these weird sort of like sections of America. It's full of men drinking wood paneling, deer heads on the wall. It shows that everyone knows everyone and there's always a little bit of tension. So we're at this bar a lot. Just often I'll say Andy, by the way, it are you getting ready to tell what he does. He just starts shit. I just have him down. It's like he's perpetually talking shit. Especially against Sheriff Joe. He's always instigating. You know, he's saying that Joe wouldn't know you know, nuclear something up his ass from a plutonium blah, blah, blah. You know, he's just always given Sheriff Joe hard time. Yeah. And then I think he has a deputy that's in there that will kind of go to bat for him a little bit. Right. Right. Right. And he owns what I would assume is either the hardware store or
Unknown Speaker 30:00
wording good store because he's also the man selling all the guns, which isn't. It's not a big scene. Yeah, there's a part where he's putting up the sign rubbing his head out during the paranoia scene. Right, right. Right. Right. So yep, that's him. Okay. That's an interesting character thing that honestly they didn't develop at all. Really? No in the movie, but like this man, definitely profiting. Yeah, flow starts a lot of shit constantly. And I was like, Oh, he's gonna get his he never does No, like he just sort of disappears from the film. He may have moved away when some of the people were moving away. But we are introduced to a very important character here and that's the baseball bat with the word Peacemaker scratched across it. The bar owner I mentioned I'd mentioned his name. Oh, and not Fleur says Now you boys better turn down your thermostat. So you'll be out of here. And he has that bat he's holding up we can see that it says Peacemaker. Mr. Knopfler wields this baseball bat named peacemaker, which he mainly uses to stop Andy Farrington from starting fights I think I think that's its main point. That's the whole goal, right? Sounds sounds weird. I'm going to say that Mari rolls up to his friends Brady and his girlfriend, Tammy. And I say rolls up, because it's literally a go kart but he says hey, it's my man Marty and a silver bullet. He's talking to his girlfriend about his uncle red getting a third divorce and billing him a new customer wheelchair. So we get a little backstory on Uncle red. They're right. They approached the boarded up house. I think they're walking home after school or something. No, because it's summer. I don't know. Well, he this is it's the last day of school. Because Brady makes a comment about hey, are you glad to be free from prison? So it's the very last day of school and what he's doing is is escorting her home because they have to go by the house where this murder just happened. Thank you. God I'm so glad you're here a little bit. They reached the boarded up house from the scene earlier which brother Jay just mentioned cops are there CB radio sounds all that Tammy I think that's her name. Yeah, she says there's something else scary and she says that and points out a shed. She says I've been hearing noises out there and at the same time she gets yelled at by her dad to get inside now the dad here fucking kills me.
