in a water environment,

so it wouldn't be able to move

with the effects of gravity

pulling on it.

Did you want to

watch that show?

'Cause I have it

on my dvr.

It's 4:
00.

I'll see you later.

Come on.

Come on.

Hmm?

No, no, no.

Come on.

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Sh*t.

Ugh!

I'm trying to help you!

Let go of me!

I just saved your life!

See? You would have

been flat as a pancake,

you squishy piece of squish!

What are you?

You want the oil?

You promise not to eat me?

Hey! Don't even touch me!

You got to be kidding me.

You better slow down there.

You're getting

all jacked up.

What?

You don't like that truck?

Okay. Watch this.

See? It can't hurt you.

Ooh.

Whoa!

Can I help you, sir?

Yeah.

We're working for terravex.

We had something crash through

our fences last night.

No one got a good look at it,

but it was big,

whatever it was.

You get any reports

of anything like that

in the last day?

No, dude,

we haven't heard any of that.

Burke:
Nothing strange?

No calls about seeing

some kind of big animal?

There was the monster

in the junkyard.

Or was it a "giant creature"?

Hey! Hey! Guys!

What did I say?

Enough about that.

Well, I'd like

to hear the story.

Well,

there's not much to tell.

It was a false call.

That's what it was.

Where from?

Deputy 1:
It's weathers'

junkyard, off 112.

Hey!

We just talked about this.

Look, I don't see why

you're so worked up

about a prank call.

I don't see why

you are, either.

Oh, quit being a baby.

There we go.

Let's get you to

the sheriff's station.

See what Rick

has to say now.

What the...

Hey! Get back here!

Hey! Whoa! Stop!

Stay! Stay put!

Stay put!

Listen...

Nobody's listening to me!

Not so tough,

are you now, landsquid?

You are so

smelly.

No. No, no, no.

Hey!

Get back here!

Oh, no, no, no.

If you scratch my truck,

so help me!

Can I help you?

I understand you had

an incident last night,

but the local authorities

didn't believe you.

Explain why you care?

We're looking for

something unusual.

Something dangerous.

What are you looking

to do with it?

Make sure

it doesn't hurt no one.

Well, I thought

i heard something.

I didn't see anything.

Must have been a coyote,

or something like that.

Did this coyote come back?

No.

Mind if we take a look?

Yes, actually.

Because it's private property

and you're not allowed to

go in there,

but, uh, go ahead

and look around,

if you want to.

I can make

an exception this time.

Oh.

You know, uh,

the coyote that I saw...

I heard, was, um...

I think it came from

that side of the yard.

Uh... for sure, actually.

From that side of the yard?

Uh... yeah.

Stop it! Stop it!
