Joseph:
Uh, you don't want to take a lot of walks. You might get tired.

Jai:
Let your dad take a walk. Jesus.

David:
Yeah.

[Jai then recognizes David]

Jai:
Hey, do I know you? Did you used to work at the football stadium?

David:
Fifteen years.

Jai:
I used to hang out with some shady types down at the stadium in my youth. Turned it around with positive thinking.

[Editor's note:
This basically confirms that Jai was the Stadium Drug Dealer we saw in Unbreakable. A neat little tie-in, all things considered]

[David leaves the store as Joseph puts the camera in a plastic bag]

Joseph:
Should I ring this up? We're gonna have to close early.

Jai:
Yeah.

[David is seen walking through an industrial area. He bumps into several people, trying to find out their misdeeds, and sees some police cars passing by. He contacts Joseph via earbuds and a mic on his shirt]

David:
Peak transit time's over. I missed him. I'll come back tomorrow when the factories are let out.

Joseph (vo):
Can come back to the store and we could do some inventory.

David:
Okay. I'll see you back at the store.

[Hedwig, wearing a hoodie and listening to some music on his headphones (probably Drake or something of the sort), walks into frame and makes contact with David. We're shown David's vision of Hedwig's crime: he's talking to the four cheerleaders, all cuffed to chairs, helpless]

Hedwig:
You guys like cartoons? So babyish. I don't. I like documentaries. You watch documentaries? I watched a documentary about, um, space. It's real big.

[End of vision, Hedwig walks away]

Hedwig:
(to David) Sorry, bro.

[David, visibly shook from what he has seen, looks at Hedwig walking away]

David:
It's him. I saw a room. It had red clay, piles of it. It's some kind of factory. They're all in there.

Joseph:
(behind his trusty computer) All right, stand by. I'll search the area.

[Hedwig kicks a store front and runs away as Joseph gives David locations]

Joseph (vo):
Dad, I found a brick factory. Uh, it's old, abandoned.

David:
Which direction?

Joseph (vo):
To the south.

[David ponders what to do next, chasing Hedwig or go to the factory]

Joseph (vo):
Dad? Dad?

[He makes his decision and goes south. Hedwig walks in a tunnel, where we hear some homeless people arguing, partially indistinguishable. Hedwig walks towards them]

Hedwig:
(taking off his headphones) Hey. I... (takes off the upper clothes, twitching) Oh, my God.

[Spasming, Hedwig collapses to the ground. The homeless folk watch on in surprise as The Beast rises, swollen and his veins pumping with adrenaline]

Homeless Guy:
Who are you?

The Beast:
(deep, melodious voice) I... am you. (snarls)

[In the brick factory, the cheerleaders are shaking from fear. The lights go out, they scream in terror]
