The Town That Dreaded Sundown Page #3

---

I love you, baby.

Hey, knock when you come back.

So I know it's you.

Help me! Help!

Help!

No!

Hello?

I'm going to do it again and again

until you make them remember.

I think I need to tell someone.

Well, you just did. Me.

I mean, like a reporter

at the news or something.

He said he was gonna do it again,

and if he has a message

and he's using me to get it out,

I have to say something. It's...

And he's using you why?

'Cause he likes you?

I don't know.

Miss Lerner, I promise you...

we will investigate this. I will personally

make sure that it's investigated.

Thank you.

I just don't understand

why he thinks we deserve this.

Well...

I'll tell you what,

I wasn't born in Texarkana,

but I've been around here

long enough to know one thing...

And that's that just about everyone

around here

has got some kind of blood

on their hands.

Three weeks after the shocking death

of high school senior Corey Holland,

the town of Texarkana has awoken yet again

to another gruesome act of violence.

This time, two people were found dead.

Corporal Daniel Torrens was coming home

to spend Thanksgiving

with his girlfriend, Kendra Collins,

when they checked into this motel...

At a few minutes past midnight,

the couple was attacked and killed,

their bodies mutilated

almost beyond recognition.

A heart full of hate, that'll do it.

A soul consumed by vengeance. Sin.

The Sheriff's office has been in contact

with the Texas Rangers

to help with the investigation.

But in the meantime,

a Town Hall meeting has been scheduled.

Reverend Cartwright,

will you lead us in a word of prayer?

Our Dear Heavenly Father, we ask you

to deliver us through this trial,

shield us during this time

of fire and blood,

of confusion and despair.

We ask you to lend us

some of your strength

and give it to these fine young men

and women that they may help guide us

through this forest

of fear and darkness...

This town, where I was born,

where I grew up,

- is the only place I've ever known.

- Amen.

The Mayor's asked us to hold

this forum to give you an update

- and hear your concerns.

- Well, an update would be great!

People are saying the Phantom is back.

That after 60 some years he's come back

and that we need to be ready.

Ma'am, he'd be 100 years old.

Every time we show that GD movie,

there's a GD party out there!

The Phantom is our dirty secret.

That movie will never be shown

in Texarkana again.

- Not on the Texas side.

- And not on the Arkansas side, either.

And while you're at it, why don't you

tear down that statue of Jim Bowie?

Isn't he holding one of them GD knives?

Why don't you rip that down?

Everyone knows some piece
