(0:59) Seems to work. I'll take it. Oh, and one of those ultrasonic dog whistles.
(1:11) Come on, Nick. Bad enough you dragged me off to Arizona with no explanation, (1:16) but stand me up for dinner, and I won't just be predicting your death. (1:23) Nick! (1:42) Guys, trust me.This isn't worth the grief you're... (1:47) Oh, hairballs. (1:50) It's true. The meat has the sight.(1:55) Than any need for pretense. (1:59) Is past. (2:01) Here! Fetch! (2:24) Oh, Nick.What have you got yourself into this time? (2:35) I swear, I've aged 60 years since you started driving. (2:39) Just use your mirror. (2:41) I've been using this thing enough to know that we're being followed.(2:50) Slane, just keep going, please. (2:53) That's not like you. (2:55) Trust me on this.Whatever happens, I need you to promise. (3:00) No Rineker. No alliance.(3:05) Okay, Nick. I'll keep Rineker out of it, whatever it is. But not me.(3:13) Phoenix Animal Refuge Center. (3:16) Sorry. Wrong number.(3:21) Hey, Logan. What's up? (3:23) Cracker, this is Slane. Logan's missing, and I'm worried.(3:28) Well, I don't blame you. The boy does have a tendency to make enemies. How can I help? (3:32) His last call on this phone was to the Phoenix Animal Refuge.Let's start with the address. (3:40) Found it, Cracker. But it looks like no one's home.(3:43) Well, place checks out okay. You planning on doing anything extra-legal? (3:50) Do it carefully. (3:54) Weird.No cages. But no Logan either. (3:59) What were they doing here? (4:00) Find an office, financial records, Bank Statements.And if in doubt, follow the money. (4:12) These are case histories. The kind you'd find in a doctor's office.But what? Cracker, they've got a file on Nick? (4:37) Company. Call you back. (5:22) Well, well.A late night snack. (5:48) Told you to be careful. Why your sirens? (5:51) Don't ask.I've got a name for you. Tanner. (5:55) And an address.Can you check it out for me? I'm heading there now to have a word. (6:02) So, what do you have on Mr. Tanner? (6:05) Not even a parking violation. You sure Tanner's a part of this? (6:09) Whether he wants to be or not, I'm stepping in.(6:14) Hold it, you flea-scratching curs! (6:20) It's that alliance banshee again. Floor it! (6:24) No! (6:57) Shlain! Shlain! How bad is it? Can't you hear me? (7:02) Fitzpatrick, she could be dead and still hear you. (7:04) As it is when looking at a mild concussion and some smoke inhalation.(7:09) How did I get out of it? Who... (7:13) Not sure. But it was someone very strong. With very big hands.(7:20) Blaze! What happened here? I got three gift-wrapped lycanthropes and it's not even my birthday. (7:27) I, uh... Oh, my head. It's all so blurry.(7:31) Yeah. Where's your partner? He usually crawls out of the woodwork if he's so much a stub your toe. (7:38) He's got a point.(7:39) Yes, but that hides it well. Uh, maybe he went after the ones who did this. (7:47) Hmm.Report back to the bunker immediately. (8:13) Just a guess. Did Cracker send you? (8:24) When your signal stopped moving, I got worried.(8:26) I'm fine. Just getting in deeper and deeper. You turn up anything? (8:32) Maybe.Tanner's background's an elaborate fake. But that's not all. (8:36) The guy works for Metro Meats, one of the outfits Logan asked me to check on a few days back.(8:41) Your driver's taking you there now. (9:09) Goldfish. (9:37) Choth! It was you, wasn't it? At the car.You saved my life. (9:44) Your presence is endangering the operation. (9:48) Go.Leave. (9:51) I will not. (9:54) Logan could be in there.What are you doing? (9:58) That's none of your concern. (10:00) But it is. You are a leader in the Conduit, a hope for peace among all aliens.(10:07) And now you're ready to go to war? (10:10) There is no choice. (10:14) There. Over there.(10:48) Cracker, just listen. I'm inside the plant area. I think Nick is in here.(10:55) No, not yet. Give me 15 minutes. After that, you can tip off the cavalry.(11:04) Wait! (11:07) You're Shlain, aren't you? Choth told me about you. (11:11) Tanner, you're with Choth and the Conduit? (11:15) Deep cover. But Ruck's suspicious.His men have been checking everyone out. (11:22) Wait! (11:23) Look, I have to get out of here. I was lucky earlier.Choth got to those others before they could report in. (11:29) Essentially, I'm blown. (11:32) Do you at least know where Nick Logan is? (11:36) I'm sorry.Your friend? I'm sorry. (11:46) It's probably just some yetis. We'll have that under control in no time, really.(11:54) Go back to your den. Once this is finished, we'll talk more. (12:14) Logan! What the... (12:39) I suppose you're wondering why I brought you here.What's going to happen to you? (12:47) I'm going to take a look inside your head, Logan. Find out what makes you tick. (12:55) Why? You've managed so far without access to a brain.(13:01) Yes, good. But the real joke is, I'm being paid handsomely to find out how your vision works, when I would have done it for free. (13:12) And of course, with you out of the way, I'll have a clear run at the Alliance, thanks to my own little Logan.(13:34) Athos, wait! (13:38) It is you, isn't it? I'm Shlain, Logan's friend, remember? I changed your diapers once. (13:46) Shlain. Yes.Yes, I remember. (13:51) You've certainly grown, lad. (13:54) We lycanthropes have an eight-year lifespan.Childhood passes quickly. (14:00) Well, you're the spittin' image of your father. (14:03) Uh, you know what I mean.(14:05) Confusing, isn't it? As a child, I imprinted on the first person I came in contact with, which was Logan. (14:12) Except Ruck is my natural father, and he wants me to be like him, only I'm not. He hates me for how I look.(14:20) And the Conduit? (14:21) They want me to join them. It was my mother's dying wish, and yet I find I cannot betray Ruck. (14:27) That's why Chuff's here.We have to go, now, before they... (14:39) Move away from the boy, Shlain. Don't make me hurt you. (14:44) Get out! Go! Go! (14:50) So anyone who won't join willingly is taken by force, hm? (14:54) The boy is confused.Would you rather he stayed here and became as twisted and hate-filled as his father? (15:01) No, but it's Athos's choice to make. And his alone. (15:07) And how exactly do you intend to stop me, when an army of lycanthropes could not? (15:13) By not thinking with my fists! (15:18) My eyes! (15:25) Who's he? (15:26) That, Athos, is the not-so-friendly face of the Conduit.(15:30) The sooner we get you out of here, the better. (15:36) Gee, nice bedside manner. (15:41) You know, I'm feeling an awful lot better.I think I'll discharge myself. (15:57) Nowhere to go, Logan, except to pieces! (16:01) As always, you've got it backwards. You see, this'll hurt you a lot more than it'll hurt me! (16:15) Ruck has Logan somewhere in here.He plans to do terrible things to him, and it's my fault! (16:21) Your fault? (16:21) I called Logan. I didn't know where else to turn. He said he'd come, but somehow Ruck got to him first.(16:29) Listen, if Ruck got to him, it's because Logan wanted it that way. (16:34) Trust me, he's very hard to take... (16:38) Unaware! (16:41) No! (16:46) No! (16:48) No! (16:49) No? How dare you turn on me! (16:58) Slate! What are you doing here? (17:01) Looking for you, idiot! Why didn't you tell me what you were up to? I could've helped! (17:06) It was Athos. It was personal.(17:08) Well, let me give you some news, Mr. Logan. Like it or not, so am I! (17:15) Come on, let's see if we can save this stepson of yours. (17:20) Why do I feel like I've lost the initiative here? (17:24) Joff's here somewhere, too.(17:27) Figures. (17:28) So I guess it's just us looking after Athos's best interests. (17:41) Look out! (17:42) I thought you at least would understand, Logan.We are at war! (18:18) Always end on a drumroll. (18:22) You won't do as I say! (18:25) No! You don't want a son! You want a spy! (18:31) It's time I took control of my own destiny! I will no longer be a slave to your hate! (18:40) It's over. (18:43) As far as I'm concerned, I was doing exactly what I'm supposed to do.(18:47) Infiltrate, expose, and then hand over. (18:50) Slate was my backup. (18:52) Look, Trueblood, either prove me a liar or get out of my face, okay? (18:57) Hey! (18:59) You buy that? (19:01) Course not.Thing is, it's essentially the truth. There's just one minor omission. (19:16) Are you old enough to drive? (19:18) Hey, I'm at least one now.Hi, Slate. (19:22) Hi, Athos. So what now? Are you going to join the Conduit? (19:27) Well, they want me, but what's left of Ruckspack needs help too.(19:32) Right now, I'm just putting the two of them together and taking off. (19:35) Just call me a lone wolf. (19:38) Hey, I can relate.But if you ever need help, or advice, or anything at all... (19:44) Call you? (19:45) Nope. Here, meet Cracker. (19:48) Hello? (19:49) Dang, boy, you sure sound like Nick.Glad to meet you. (19:52) Here, keep the phone. Cracker's on the speed dial.He's the best friend a lone wolf can have. (19:58) It's the truth? Believe me. (20:00) Thanks.I'll... make you proud. (20:04) You already have. (20:09) Did you ever find out who it was paying Ruck? (20:12) Nope.Ruck didn't even know. Maybe I'll never know. (20:24) Thanks for watching!
