00:07Hottest threads in town. That's the no-frills boutique of Town Hope Falls.
00:12It costs big bucks to dress like a million dollars.
00:16Now to the news. Our top story.
00:19Respected town benefactor Ulysses Pitt has once again assured visiting environmental officials
00:24that the output of the Pitt nuclear power plant is well within safety limits
00:30and that there have been no adverse effects on Hope Falls and the surrounding area.
00:36We caught up with Mr. Pitt outside the Montezuma Casino earlier today.
00:40Mr. Pitt! Mr. Pitt!
00:42Can you comment on the environmental impact report filed by the Regulatory Commission?
00:47Yeah, I can comment on it. It's a load of bull****, that's what it is.
00:51Nuclear power is the future.
00:53And I got nothing but the best interests of Hope Falls in mind.
00:58If them Washington a***** can't see that I'm just a philanthropist
01:02who likes to spread his wealth for the betterment of the people, f**k them.
01:07Mr. Ulysses Pitt.
01:09Hope Falls and the Pitt News Service stand with Mr. Pitt
01:13in his continued efforts for the improvement of Hope Falls.
01:17And now, back to our musical programming.
01:19This is PNX.
01:22Well, hello there. Look who finally decided to wake up.
01:31Hmm, that won't do at all.
01:39Oh, don't be a baby. This is nothing compared to everything else you've been through tonight.
01:47See? That wasn't so bad, was it?
01:50Yeah, well it wasn't so hot from where I was sitting. Who the hell are you?
01:53Steiner. Dr. Frederick Steiner.
01:55But you already knew that, didn't you?
01:58I can't say I've had the pleasure.
02:01Uh, Doc? If it ain't too much trouble?
02:04Too much? Oh, right. I suppose it couldn't hurt to let you stand up.
02:10But please, take it slowly. Your equilibrium isn't what it used to be, is it?
02:15Afraid I wouldn't know.
02:17Whoa now, I said take it slowly. You've been through quite a lot. So, you don't remember anything?
02:25Nope. To tell you the truth, Doc, my brain feels like I've been on a two-week bender. Everything's kinda
02:30hazy.
02:30Not terribly surprising, really. Fairly common side effects. What with you being dead and all.
02:37Uh, just a damn minute, Doc. Just, just stop. Stop. What do you mean dead?
02:42Let me put it to you as simply as I can. Your name is Fred. You are, or were, well,
02:48are, a private investigator.
02:50You are, or were, investigating my boss, a former boss, one Mr. Ulysses S. Pitt.
02:57Pitt? That rings a bell.
03:00Yes, not surprising. He runs the whole town of Hope Falls these days.
03:05Well, Mr. Pitt found out that you were snooping around and thought you were getting too close.
03:09So he set you up and had you killed.
03:12And where exactly do you fit into this grim picture?
03:15I was hired by Mr. Pitt to help bring his nuclear power plant online.
03:19Had I known that he was going to cut so many corners to do what he's done to the people
03:25and creatures of this town.
03:27Anyway, I was on my way back here to the lab this evening when I found your body lying in
03:32the sludge dump behind the power plant.
03:34I brought you back here because I thought perhaps I could help.
03:39I guess I do owe you one. Whatever they did to me, you put me back in one piece again.
03:44Yes, well, mostly.
03:47Mostly? What's that supposed to mean?
03:49There's the small matter of your head.
03:52My head? What about my head?
03:55Um, well, perhaps you should take a look for yourself.
04:01What the fuck? What have you done to me?
04:06Please, please. Let me explain.
04:09You've got about two seconds before I rip off your head and make us identical twins.
04:14Now where is my friggin' head?
04:17Gone. They... It's Pitt. He wanted it as a trophy.
04:22He does that to his enemies. He sent it to me and I had to do what he said.
04:26But your brain. I saved your brain. And your body is almost as good as it ever was. Better in
04:33some ways.
04:34Yeah. But I'm a freak!
04:38Yes. I mean, no. I mean, you can still find it. Your head, I mean. It won't be easy. But
04:45Pitt has it.
04:46When you take care of him for me, you can get it back. Please, Fred. Think about it. What good
04:52would it do you to kill me?
04:57Thank you. Thank you. I can be a great help to you. You won't regret it.
05:03I already do. So, what's next? Where do I start?
05:09First things first. You've had quite a day. And I want to make sure that my repairs are solid before
05:16you head out.
05:18No pun intended, of course. But while we're on the subject of heads, there are also some advantages to your
05:24current cranial situation that I think you'll find quite handy.
05:29I'd like to, as they say, put you through the paces before I send you back out into the world.
05:50Now that you're alive again, relatively, I want to run a full diagnostic and make sure everything's in working order.
05:58Hmm. Where to begin?
06:27Excellent.
06:28excellent are you ready to hit something now oh you're damn right I am oh yes
06:35well let me just
06:44there you go let's see what you can do give him what for
07:13oh no the elevator you expecting company doc no now stay put Fred stay in here and be quiet no
07:24matter what you might hear I'll try to get rid of whoever this is mr. Pitt what a pleasure sir
07:46what brings you to my humble manner at such a late hour you can save the pleasantries doctor I think
07:53you might have some idea why we're here no sir I can't imagine why you would cut the crap Steiner
08:02that absent-minded professor routine ain't cutting the mustard no more really lefty mr. Pitt I have
08:09no idea what you mean all right how's about I spell it out for you that package you were supposed
08:17to
08:17prepare for me I just got a call from Sammy down at the taxidemi shop he said there were some
08:23missing
08:23pieces well I uh I don't know anything about that I say well you can understand how that might upset
08:32me
08:32you know I like people to follow my orders and not do too much independent thinking and if that ain't
08:41enough we came past the sludge dump on the way over I was gonna show lefty here what was left
08:47at a private
08:47dick and guess what he wasn't there how about that you know anything about that well nuclear waste is
08:58quite corrosive which is why we dumped the bodies there but ain't nobody that decomposes in a day doctor
09:06maybe he was in a hurry sorry boss I hate a wise ass as do I lefty as do I
09:15I think despite his
09:17protestations to the contrary the doc here could enlighten us on some topics of current interest let's
09:25bring him along and see if we can't lands with pleasure boss move it wait you stay here and keep
09:36an eye on the place in case something turns up

14:24It won't budge.
14:43I've told you everything I know.
14:45I'm betting I can remind him of some other things he knows.
14:50No, no. I'm prepared to give the good doctor the benefit of the doubt.
14:55Thank you, Mr. Pitt. I appreciate it.
14:59Don't mention it, Doc. You've been very valuable to me and to my organization.
15:04But, alas, since the nuclear plant is online, I think your contract has reached its...
15:13termination point.
15:15Yes, exactly. What?
15:18Lefty, I think it's time we introduce the Doc here to the horseman.
15:23The horseman, you say? Would that be the headless horseman?
15:28The one that lives in the woods past the graveyard?
15:32Damn, Doc. You ain't got to shout.
15:35Of course I mean that horseman. You know about some other horseman I don't?
15:39What? Now come on. Let's get this over with.
15:50Oh!
