Three detectives - Winchester, Hughes, and Hanlock - are investigating a serial killer murder case where the victims' hearts have been removed. They realize their prime suspect is impossible to have committed the latest murder since they had already shot and killed him. After extensive research, they determine the killer is actually a werewolf. They track the werewolf, revealed to be a man named Billy-Joe, to an abandoned warehouse. When confronted, Billy-Joe transforms into a werewolf before their eyes. The detectives and werewolf now stare each other down, prepared for a final confrontation.

2. INT. DETECTIVES OFFICE - NIGHT
DETECTIVE WINCHESTER
Well that’s another case down.I
can’t believe that crazy redneck
butchered all those people.
DETECTIVE HUGHES
Really? I mean generations of doing
your own sister does bring the
words crazy and criminally insane
to mind...
DETECTIVE WINCHESTER
But the fact that he tore out and
ate their hearts was a bit too odd,
even for people like that.
DETECTIVE WINCHESTER TEARS a photo off the wall which they
had been tracking the murders on. He suspects something more
is going on here then lets out an AAARRRGGHHH in rage and
CRUMPLES up the photo and throws it to the ground with
force.
DETECTIVE HANLOCK SLAMS the door against the wall running as
fast as possible BANGING her feet each step.
DETECTIVE HANLOCK
We’ve got another one boys
CUT TO:
EXT. CRIME SCENE - NIGHT
DETECTIVE WINCHESTER
I thought we put this psycho in the
ground once and for all.
DETECTIVE HANLOCK
Looks like those 6 bullets you put
into the guy wasn’t enough.
DETECTIVE WINCHESTER & DETECTIVE HUGHES
That’s impossible!!
The three detectives look down at the torn up body with the
heart ripped out still SQUIRTING blood all over the floor.
Twitching every couple of seconds as the nervous system
still thinks the victim is alive.

DETECTIVE WINCHESTER
That’s it...time to bury this
"thing" for good...as soon as we
find out what it is.
With a look of determination in his eyes DETECTIVE
WINCHESTER leads the team back to the office to conduct
research

INT. DETECTIVES OFFICE - EARLY MORNING HOURS
After Countless hours researching every possibility.
FLIPPING through book pages, CLICKING the computer mouse and
GULPING scotch, they finally come to an answer they all
agree on.
DETECTIVE HUGHES
Werewolf...He’s a god damn
werewolf, no wonder those bullets
didn’t work.
DETECTIVE WINCHESTER
Werewolf? Are you sure?
DETECTIVE HUGHES
Well it fits the profile, murders
at night, eats the victims heart
and stays secluded. Nobody knows
what this guy gets up to when he’s
on his own.
DETECTIVE HANLOCK
It’s the only lead we’ve got, might
as well follow it and see where it
takes us. Better get some silver
bullets on the go then.
DETECTIVE HUGHES
Well it says here that silver
bullets are just a myth, they don’t
hurt them at all. Says the only way
to kill them is......beheading.
A montage takes place showing the 3 characters getting
suited up, putting the machetes in their holders with a
SWIPE. After hours of trying to track this guy down they
finally get a hit.

DETECTIVE HANLOCK
I’ve got him. Spotted him on a CCTV
camera over on Hendley Street.
DETECTIVE WINCHESTER
Okay let’s move.

INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - ALMOST MIDNIGHT
The detectives open the door to the warehouse with a loud
CREEK and a BANG when the door finally stops sliding. The
open door reveals the redneck eating the heart of a dead
women on the floor with a SLURP and a GULP he looks up and
sees the detectives pointing guns at him.
BILLY-JOE
Oh it’s you again, want to go for a
round 2 with those bullets? Worked
real good for you last
time...hahaha.
DETECTIVE WINCHESTER
Don’t worry we know bullets won’t
work on you.
All three detectives put their guns into the holsters and
draws their machetes with a SHING.
BILLY-JOE
Finally figured out what I am ehh?
Doesn’t matter, you haven’t seen me
in my true form yet.
BILLY-JOE falls on all fours with a THUMP. He goes down
screaming in agony but laughing at the same time, you can
hear his bones TWISTING, CRUNCHING and BREAKING beneath his
skin. The blood DRIPS from his eyes to the floor. Finally
his skin begins to TEAR open revealing patches of fur. He
open his mouth wide and a wolfs one starts to come out
GASPING for air his jaw SNAPS in two...he was no longer a
man.
The 3 detectives and the werewolf are now face to face for
the first time with nothing but air between them.
