Night of the Rats (2025)

[bunniefuu]

Good morning.

I'm here amid protests at the

Evans City Nuclear Power Plant,

where just yesterday

it was discovered

that there's been ill*gal waste

dumping just outside of town.

The mayor and healthcare

officials has been notified

but have not yet commented.

We will continue to update as

evidence becomes made aware.

I'm Kitty Cooper

with Heart7 News,

signing off until

further notice.

And let's head over here.

Oh, man.

We're gonna have to

check this tunnel out.

Man, that's great.

That's great.

All right, yeah, I

think we can get down

through here this way.

Give me one of those.

OK, go check ahead.

I'm gonna stay here and

recalibrate this meter.

Got it.

Oh, Jesus Christ!

Christ, get 'em off of me!

They're everywhere!

f*ck, man.

Stupid f*cking rats, man!

Get 'em off of me!

Get 'em off of me!

Are you OK?

Yeah.

I had... I had that dream again.

That nightmare.

What are you making me?

The only thing I

know how to make,

scrambled eggs and sausage.

Mm!

Ooh, scandal.

Mm-hmm.

Why does it always taste

like sh*t when I cook it?

Because you have a gift.

Is that what they call it?

Mm-hmm.

No, you need to read that sh*t.

Oh my god.

Is this for real, like?

Yeah.

Yeah, it's for real.

Is this gonna affect your job?

I don't know.

I mean, it really depends.

If they want to come

down really hard,

they could just clean

house and fire everybody.

So... so I

guess I can't drink the water,

huh?

Yeah, don't drink

the water, baby.

Now get the f*ck

out of my chair.

a*s.

You know the

pecking order around here.

I'm gonna go take a shower.

What are you doing?

There's a f*cking

rat in the bathtub!

A rat?

A rat!

A big a*s f*cking rat!

There's a f*cking

rat in the bathtub.

You mean a mouse?

No, a rat, a big a*s rat.

I know what a mouse looks like.

We don't have rats.

Oh, we do have rats.

We've got one, and it's big.

Oh.

k*ll it.

Are you gonna ask

it to play singles?

No, I'm gonna smash its head in.

Oh my god.

Calm down.

It's just a f*cking mouse.

Ew!

Holy!

God damn.

Oh my god.

You want to cook this?

Ew!

How the hell

did he get in the bathroom?

I don't know.

I don't think I've ever

seen one that big around.

Hello?

Yeah.

No, no.

Everything's fine.

No.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll be right there.

Yeah, I can make... yeah, I can.

Today?

Here, hold this.

No, she's fine.

She just stepped on a tack.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Ooh, I'm sorry about that.

Come here.

But I gotta go.

Here.

I don't need a shower.

Look, I understand the problem.

I know what's going on.

Well, I'll send some men down

and they'll take care of it.

A pile of leaves is not

the end of the world, OK?

Yeah.

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

OK, thank you.

Yes, I appreciated your vote.

Nuclear waste is no laughing

matter, I understand that.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

I know the pecking order.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Yes, I'll be in touch with you.

Thank you, sir.

How old are these?

I wouldn't eat that.

Uh, it's been here since I have.

All right.

Uh, no.

So what's up, man?

They're up my butt

over this nuclear mess.

That much nuclear waste

don't just disappear.

But that's what they're saying.

I thought it was just a

little leak or something.

No, no no, no.

I had an inside man got to me

and said that we're talking,

like, 20 ton.

What?

20 tons!

That's huge.

Yes, it's huge.

And we think some of it

is in our sewer system.

So...

All right.

OK.

What I want you to do...

Uh-huh?

As the health department, I

want you to start poking around

kind of where I can't.

Right, right.

A lot of people don't know you.

Right.

I'm just gonna kinda

sit back and mind

my P's and Q's, because

they're already pushing hard.

Who's they?

The reg people.

OK.

The feds?

The regulatory commission?

Yes, there's been

talk about rats.

OK.

They had a couple of

nuke workers down in the sewers.

I was told firsthand that these

two bodies were chewed up bad,

like wild animals.

The old timer that told me

said it looked like rats.

I just k*lled the rat.

We had one in the shower today.

My wife found a rat

in the shower today.

I want you to go

snooping around.

All right.

Use whoever you need, some of

your people that you can trust.

I want you to get to

the bottom of this...

OK.

The rats, the nuclear waste.

But, man, it's got to

be kept on the down low.

All right.

We cannot jeopardize our jobs...

OK.

And the city.

I want you to get with RJ.

OK.

I've already talked to RJ.

He's got some of

the blood sample.

You keep in touch.

OK.

You call me.

All right.

I'll head over to the

lab right now, Frank.

I'll give you a call

if I find anything out.

All right.

Be careful.

All right.

Nice turn signal, f*ck face.

Mommy!

Mommy!

Mommy!

Oh, no!

Mommy!

Oh my god!

Oh my god!

Three more mutilated bodies.

Could these tragedies

be connected?

And cut.

All right, you want

to go up to the house?

Ready if you are.

Let's do it.

Hi, Ms. Thompson.

I'm Kitty Cooper

with Heart7 News.

We'd like to talk to you about

the gruesome discovery you

made earlier this morning.

No, I don't talk to the press.

Please.

I realize how

incredibly difficult

this must be for you

right now, but can you

please describe what

you saw for our viewers?

No, it was down by the tracks.

Their faces were eaten

by rats or something.

Their faces were eaten?

I have to go.

Please.

You heard it there first.

Their faces were eaten by rats.

This is Kitty Cooper, signing

off until further notice,

with Heart7 News.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

Hello, RJ.

Mac, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, good to see you, man.

Been a while.

Yeah, yeah.

It was that, uh... it was that

Meth lab cleanup, wasn't it?

Is that what it was?

Oh, yeah.

The good, old meth

lab cleanup, love it.

You gotta love this town.

How are things?

How's things been?

Hot.

Hot?

Yeah, hot as sh*t, dude.

Yeah, I don't envy you, man.

I love the AC I got

going on in here.

I'll swap you.

I wouldn't trade

this job for anything.

I'll swap you.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

You can spend all day

in a restaurant, man.

So the mayor sent me over, man.

He wanted me to come talk to

you about the scandal, you know?

Yeah, I think it's a little bit

more serious than a

lot of you folks out

there are picking up on.

Really?

You talking about the bodies?

Uh, yeah, and a little

bit more than that, too.

Uh, I've not been able

to divulge much of it,

but, uh, I think you and

I are on the same level.

I should probably

show you some things.

All right.

What do you got, man?

Follow me, man.

So this is kind of what

we've been looking at.

It was a specimen harvested

from one of the bodies

that you were talking

about earlier.

Let me focus it in here.

At first, we thought it

was like an assimilation.

Picture it like a rabies,

but on a super level.

As you can see, this is a

white blood cell right here.

You're seeing kind of

like a... almost a halo

or an aura around it

and these little things

floating around there, just

to keep it simple for you,

you know.

So it's not quite assimilation,

but those things are actually

exerting some sort of control

over normal human white blood

cells.

All right.

It's very atypical though.

It doesn't look like

it normally should.

All right.

Basically, you see those

things floating around

just outside the

cell wall there,

causing a little bit of a

yellow aura around the cell?

Uh-huh.

Those are what, uh... what

would be considered a parasite.

They're not actually

invading the cell.

They are actually controlling it

from just outside the cell wall.

I don't know exactly

how they're attached.

Do you remember the rabid

dog when you were a kid

and they had to tie it up?

Yeah.

You know, cut its

head off, send it off.

Give the kid the

shots, stuff like that.

Sure.

It was kind of a big to-do.

Right.

Imagine that 100-fold,

if this thing gets out,

not just in

intensity, but in, uh,

how rapid the

incubation period is,

how it sets in, how

fast it transmits.

So these rats are biting

people and they're getting this?

Is that what you're telling me?

That would be my best guess.

I can't think of

another mode of entry.

So it's like a

super rabies then?

That, to put it lightly, yeah.

Um, probably about

100 times more

virulent than your

standard rabies.

So you're telling

me that the rats are

getting this, people that are

bitten by the rats come down

with this?

Oh, yeah.

That's what's going on.

Then, we got a problem.

Oh, yeah, big time.

So, I mean, you guys got a...

You got a vaccine for this,

right?

I mean, it's rabies, right?

You're kidding, right?

Right now?

As little time as I've

had, you're kidding.

So what do you...

I mean, what do you need?

Well, uh, a live

specimen would be nice.

That would be a

good place to start.

So you want one

of those live rats?

Yeah, actually I do.

Well, you know there's

only one way to get it.

You mind a trip to the

old sh*t tunnels, RJ?

Wouldn't be the first time I had

to go down there at

the mayor's request.

You ready?

Yeah.

Looks like a massive swamp

in front of this dam now.

Yeah, that's a problem.

You get used to it.

Well, at least

it's cool in here.

That's one way to

beat the heat, I guess.

How far do

you think we got to go?

I think they found those

two feds about 50 more feet,

a little bit to the right.

50 more feet?

Holy sh*t, dude.

Yeah.

Uh, I didn't realize

it would be this...

Over here.

All right.

We gotta do it, I guess.

Yeah.

You ready?

Let me grab the box.

All right?

Yep.

All right.

RJ, RJ!

Look at that.

What the hell is that?

It's what's left of

the head it looks like.

Holy sh*t.

Do rats normally do that?

Not from what I've seen.

I'll need to tell

the mayor about this.

Yeah, so remember this

tunnel when we get back in.

All right, all right.

We're still not all the way in.

Is that the feds, or

is it somebody else, man?

I don't know,

man, but this still

doesn't cover the distance.

sh*t.

Man, I think I honestly

need to go back and grab

a sample of that.

I didn't think about it.

We still get the... you

know, the next ones on up,

but I need to grab

that one as well.

You sure?

Absolutely.

All right, man, I'll wait here.

OK.

I'll cover you.

All right.

Wow, the calcification

on this wall, man, this thing

has to be 100 years old, easily.

Wow.

It wasn't so smelly down here.

Oh, f*ck.

I just got my feet wet.

What the hell happened?

Yeah, I just stepped

in the water, man.

You see anything yet?

No.

No rats.

Hey, yo, man.

I'm good.

I'm OK.

I'll be up there in a minute.

RJ!

RJ!

You all right?

Damn it!

Yo, don't let it bite you!

Don't let it bite you!

Right there!

Oh, sh*t, man, we

gotta deal with your arm.

We gotta get that sample, man.

Don't... Don't worry

about my arm right now.

I'm good.

We gotta get that sample.

We came this far.

RJ.

There's more, more coming.

We gotta get the

sample and get out of here.

Don't sh**t the b*stard!

We gotta take it alive!

Now, come on.

We gotta get the

hell out of here.

Let's go.

Oh, sh*t, man, we

gotta deal with that arm.

I'm dealing with it, man.

I'm dealing with it.

sh*t, at least bandage it up.

Here.

Here.

Now, what about the rabies, man?

You said if anybody gets bit,

they're gonna get the rabies.

I don't know, man.

We gotta get back

to the lab, man.

We gotta get the specimen there.

sh*t, I got to...

I can't even get the...

Oh, f*ck that specimen, man.

We gotta take care of your arm.

I'm dealing with it, man.

I'm dealing with.

We gotta get it back to the lab.

sh*t.

Between the eyes...

Mm-hmm.

The size of the ears, the

pustules there that are forming

on the face...

Sounds like rabies.

Get your hand away.

That's a death sentence.

All right.

They're very aggressive.

But anyway, the length

of the tails, those

are just some common features

that I could point out

to you that show you

the big discrepancies

between a normal rat

and an infected rat.

Those are the most

apparent features,

but I think there's

more underlying

than just what we see

physically on the outside

on the face of the rat.

So what do we do with it now?

As bad as I hate to

say it, we're gonna...

See what's inside,

see if there's

any been... been any organ

malformation, any type

of dysfunction in any

of the organ systems,

see what's actually

manifesting inside.

So you're gonna put

your hand in there?

I think I've actually got an

idea of what I can do with this.

Let's, uh, see what happens.

f*ck!

Come on!

f*ck!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Who the f*ck is that?

Come on, come on,

come on, come on!

Oh my god!

Come on.

Oh my god!

Help me!

What do we do with it?

It's going to have

to be terminated.

Are you OK?

Man, I don't...

I don't... I don't feel so...

I don't feel so good, man.

I think it's the bite.

Dude, holy sh*t,

you're burning up.

Hold on, man.

Hold on.

Oh, sh*t, that's my wife.

Hello?

Oh my god!

Where are you?

You need to come and get me!

What?

I don't know, in the middle

of f*cking town square!

And there's... there's rats!

f*ck.

And they're everywhere!

And a f*cking psycho!

No, no, just stay

where you're at.

f*cking wet, bloody

psycho banging on my window!

You need to come get me.

My car won't start.

We'll be right there.

We're coming to get you.

And I'm stuck.

OK, yeah, yeah.

I am stuck here!

It's my wife, man.

She's stranded.

I gotta go get her.

Are you...

Let's go.

Can you make it?

You can't go by yourself.

Let's go.

You sure?

Yeah.

Yeah.

All right, man, let's go.

Oh my God!

Help me!

Oh, sh*t.

It's Julia!

Help!

Please help!

Come on.

Hey.

Hey, back this way.

Come on.

Oh my god, are you OK?

Oh, my God.

We got to get

the f*ck out of here.

Oh my god!

No, no, no, no.

Oh my god.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh, my god.

Don't look at it.

Don't look at it.

Just keep running.

No!

Just keep running.

No!

Hey.

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t, Mac!

Mac!

Mac!

RJ.

Yeah.

Come on.

Faster, everybody!

RJ, come on!

Come on!

RJ.

Oh, sh*t, RJ.

Hey, man, are you OK?

Man, I don't

think I can make it.

I need to take five, take five.

Take five, take five.

Man, I'm too old for this sh*t.

Man, this bite's getting to me.

Look, did any of them bite you?

No.

Are you sure?

I'm... I'm OK.

Did you get any of

that sh*t in your mouth?

No, no.

You sure?

Mm-hmm.

I know, we...

You OK?

We gotta get the

f*ck out of here, man.

They're behind us.

Come on, a couple more minutes.

Oh, sh*t.

He was bit?

There's a f*cking door.

Let's go over there.

Come on.

Come on, man.

Go, go, go, go.

Come on.

Oh, f*ck.

sh*t.

RJ.

RJ, come on.

RJ.

Come on, man.

Come on, man.

Don't leave him.

They're gonna f*cking k*ll

you if you don't come on, man.

Come on, come on, come on,

come on, come on, come on.

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Go.

OK.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Get in there.

Get in there, get in there.

Oh, f*ck.

You see any rats in here?

I don't see anything.

Wait, let's go this way.

Go.

Go, go, go, go.

Go.

You good?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Go!

Come on!

Oh, sh*t.

They're everywhere!

Oh my god!

They're everywhere!

Blast 'em!

Blast 'em all!

Just keep blasting 'em!

Julia, take this!

What are we going to do?

I don't know, man.

Keep killin' 'em.

Keep killin' 'em.

Bat!

Look behind you!

They're coming out of the walls!

This is the last

of the b*stards!

I think we're good for now.

I don't see any more.

You all right, man?

I'm... I'm good, Mac.

You gonna make it?

I'm good.

I need a minute, Mac.

I think I need to sit down.

You OK?

I'm good.

OK, Julie?

Where can...

Back here.

Where can we...

OK, come on, buddy.

Come on, come on, come on.

Breathe, breathe.

Come on.

You gonna make it, man?

Mac, I think...

I think I got the bug.

sh*t, hang in there, RJ.

Come on, man, we're

gonna get out of here.

We'll get you to

a medical station.

Just... Just hang

in there, dude, OK?

Just hang in there.

Come on.

If he got bit, we gotta

get him out of here.

Sweet baby Jesus.

Hey, man, RJ, come on.

There, man.

Mac, you're such a sweetheart.

You're too kind, Mac.

You just don't f*cking

know me good enough.

Dude, you are burning up, man.

What the f*ck is wrong with him?

It's that bite.

One of those rats bit him.

Is he gonna turn

into one of the...

Shh!

Don't let him hear you.

Turn into one of those things?

I think so.

But we got some time.

We've got some time.

What the f*ck is going on?

You have to be honest with me.

OK.

What is going on?

All right.

You know the nuclear

regulatory scandal?

The thing in the paper?

Yeah.

It's a big snow job.

It's way worse than

that, way worse.

It's not a leak.

There's tens of

thousands of pounds

of that sh*t down in the sewer

and it's leaking all over.

And those rats that we

saw, they're mutating.

And you know that

crazy b*tch that

was trying to get in your car?

Yeah.

Apparently the rats got some

kind of f*cking super rabies.

That's why I was with RJ.

He was in the lab.

We were down there

getting a sample.

He needed a specimen.

And that's when he got bit.

Ah!

So he's dead already.

There's nothing

we can do for him.

What do we do?

Well, we're going to

try to get out of here.

There's got to be some

kind of response to this.

People know what's going on.

Is he gonna turn

into one of those things?

Probably, yeah, probably.

There's got to be somebody out

here that knows what's going on.

There's got to be something.

What the f*ck is he doing?

I don't know.

Is it starting?

f*ck, I don't know.

sh*t.

RJ.

RJ.

RJ, wake up, man.

Wake up.

Come on, buddy.

Wake up, wake up.

RJ, come on, man.

Wake up, wake up, wake up.

RJ!

RJ!

RJ!

RJ, no!

Ah!

Throw me the other one!

Sorry, RJ.

Son of a b*tch.

Is that gonna happen to us, too?

No.

No, we're gonna be

just fine, baby.

You and me, we're

gonna get out of here,

and we're gonna

be just fine, OK?

All right?

You say it.

We're gonna be just fine.

We're gonna be OK.

OK.

We're gonna be fine.

Come on.

Sit down.

Hand me that, would you?

There's got to be a

f*cking way out of here.

OK, I'm gonna...

I'm gonna look around,

try to find something, OK?

You're not just gonna

leave me here, are you?

Just scream, I'll hear you.

You'll be fine.

See if you can find

a radio or something.

OK, I'll look.

Come on, come on, come

on, come on, come on, come on.

Jesus.

You are not gonna believe this.

Thank god.

And it works.

For all of Evans City

and surrounding areas.

Once again, we will be

reporting information

as we get it, as it comes to us.

Uh, so far, all we know is that

the power grid is still on.

Nobody at city hall is

answering their phones.

Nobody at the police station

is answering our phones.

And nobody at the

local sheriff's outpost

are answering our phones.

If anybody is able

to get a hold...

The whole city is falling apart.

Of law enforcement...

f*ck.

Please give

us a call and let us know, OK?

We're not having

any luck with it.

We're gonna have

to get out of here.

All we know is

that the power grid is still on.

Right now, that seems to be the

only thing we have in our favor.

Um, there's only

three of us left.

We're pretty well secure

inside the radio station here.

If you're someplace safe,

stay where you're at, OK?

Don't leave.

OK?

These, uh, what appear

to be rats have entirely

taken over the city.

And the amount of,

uh, life that has

been lost over the past day is...

Appears to be inconceivable.

Um.

So once again, stay

in your homes, OK?

Um, apparently, there has been,

uh, military transmissions

that have been, um, intercepted,

uh, by... by somebody here

at our radio station.

So we're expecting the

military to come in, OK?

So stay where you're at.

The military is

going to come in.

I assume that they will send

out mobile search vehicles

to... to search for survivors.

And we're going to find

a release from this.

OK?

In the name of God!

In the name of

God, will somebody

please come and help us!

Jesus f*cking Christ!

I can't f*cking do this anymore!

Here, hold this.

Hello?

Frank.

I kinda got my hands

full right now.

Listen, you're

gonna come and get me.

Are you close by?

What?

It's crazy here.

The rats took over the building.

I had to fight one off.

I had to k*ll it in my office.

It bit me.

There are people

outside being attacked.

They're everywhere.

There are people

with g*ns outside.

I don't know what's

going on here.

This is getting

close to the end.

You got to come and get me, Mac.

You got to come and get me.

This is chaos.

Really?

Are you OK?

Did they bite you?

You make sure none of

those b*stards bite you.

Yes, yes.

But listen, listen, we

can get that took care of.

Come and get me and

run me by the clinic.

But just... You got to, got

to come and get me, Frank.

OK.

All right.

Just calm down, calm down.

Yeah.

Yeah, we'll come get you.

No, everything's fine.

Me and RJ and Julie are fine.

I'll watch for you, Mac.

I'll watch for you.

And I'll make a run for it.

Yeah, you... you just

pull up in the parking

lot close to the door, and

I'll make a run for it.

Please.

Please, Mac.

Yes, I knew I could trust you.

I knew I could depend on you.

We're on our way.

Yeah, yeah.

OK.

We're going to get the mayor?

No, we're not

gonna go get the mayor.

We're getting the

hell out of here.

Come on.

Oh my god.

Come on.

I'm Kitty Cooper, reporting

live at the edge of town,

where the nuclear waste scandal

has been amid rumor and protest

since its discovery.

We're here at the

local tracks where

bodies were last reported seen.

This story must

be so much bigger

than we previously suspected,

as the military is now

swooping in above.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

I can't.

Come on.

Come on, baby, we gotta go.

We can't.

We gotta keep going.

A little farther.

No, no, no, no no, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

Don't look at it.

Come on.

Why did so many good

people have to die?

Not us, baby.

We're gonna be just fine.

We're gonna survive this.

No!

No!

No!

Are you OK?

Oh, sh*t.

I had the dream again.

Oh, that terrible nightmare.

What are you doing?

There's a f*cking

rat in the bathtub!

A rat?

A rat!

There's a f*cking

rat in the bathtub.

You mean a mouse?

No, a rat, a big a*s rat.

I know what a mouse looks like.

We don't have rats.

Oh, we do have rats.

We've got one, and it's big.

Oh.

k*ll it.

You gonna ask it

to play singles?

No, I'm gonna smash its head in.

Oh my god.

Calm down.

It's just a f*cking mouse.

Holy sh*t.

You weren't... You

weren't joking.

That thing's huge.

All right.

God damn.

Oh my god.

You want to cook this?

Ew!

How the hell

did he get in the bathroom?

I don't know.

I don't think I've ever

seen one that big around.

Hello?

Yeah.

No, no.

Everything's fine.

No.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

I'll be right there.

Yeah, I can make... yeah, I can.

Today?

Here, hold this.

No, she's fine.

She just stepped on a tack.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Ooh, I'm sorry about that.

Come here.

But I gotta go.

Here.

I don't need a shower.

f*ck!

Look, I can take

care of it, the problem.

Yes.

Frank.

I got it.

I... I can take care of it.

Look, look, it's not as big

a deal as you're making it.

I... I could...

Yes, yes, I understand.

I understand.

Listen, I can take care of it.

I can take care of it.

I'll send a couple of men down.

No big deal.

OK?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

Listen, I've got some more

stuff going on right now.

We're... We're kind of busy.

Yes, I understand.

Yes.

Look, I understand the problem.

I know what's going on.

Well, I'll send some men down

and they'll take care of it.

A pile of leaves is not

the end of the world, OK?

Yeah.

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

OK, thank you.

Yes, I appreciated your vote.

OK.

Thank you.

Yeah, goodbye.

They're up my butt

over this nuclear mess.

What's up, Frank?

That much nuclear waste

don't just disappear.

I thought it was just a

little leak or something.

OK.

I had an inside man got to me

and said that we're talking,

like, 20 ton.

What?

Yes.

Yes, it's huge.

And we think some of it

is in our sewer system.

Uh-huh.

They had a couple of nuke

workers down in the sewers...

Right.

looking around,

doing this and that.

OK.

Now they're dead.

I want you to go

snooping around.

All right.

Use whoever you need, some of

your people that you can trust.

I want you to get to

the bottom of this...

OK.

The rats, the nuclear waste.

But man, it's got to be

kept on the down low.

All right.

We cannot jeopardize

our jobs and the city.

Hey.

Oh, hey.

Hello, RJ.

Mac, right?

Yeah, yeah.

Hey, good to see you, man.

Been a while.

Yeah, yeah.

It was that, uh... it was that

meth lab cleanup, wasn't it?

Is that what it was?

Oh, yeah.

The good, old meth

lab cleanup, love it.

You got to love this town.

How are things?

How's things been?

Hot.

Hot?

Yeah, hot as sh*t, dude.

Yeah, I don't envy you, man.

I love the AC I got

going on in here.

I'll swap you.

I wouldn't trade

this job for anything.

I'll swap you.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

You can spend all day

in a restaurant, man.

So the mayor sent me over, man.

He wanted me to come talk to

you about the scandal, you know?

Yeah, I think it's a little bit

more serious than a

lot of you folks out

there are picking up on.

Really?

You talking about the bodies?

Uh, yeah, and a little

bit more than that, too.

Uh, I've not been able

to divulge much of it,

but, uh, I think you and

I are on the same level.

I should probably

show you some things.
