EXT – WOLF MANOR – DAY

Max returns to the house where Mrs. Young waits, glaring at him.

MRS. YOUNG

Did you find Randy?

MAX

No, can't say I did. But we might be able to find him more easily with this.

Max shows Mrs. Young the glowing moonstone ring, revealing he is a werewolf.

MRS. YOUNG

You got the moonstone ring back? How?

MAX

That's classified. But I'm going to show Steve and Victoria that I achieved the goal like they wanted.

INT – ABANDONED HOUSE – DAY

Anna follows Randy's trail of hair dye drops to the abandoned house where the dogs hang out.

The dogs hide as Anna looks around the place where Randy slept; the hair dye trail ends there.

ANNA

Randy and his dog friends must have spent the night here.

Anna leaves the house and notices fresh tire tracks with dog prints following them.

Though not a werewolf yet, Anna sniffs the tracks and pieces together what happened.

ANNA

Get me to the pound.

INT – DOG POUND – DAY

Randy feels horrible as none of the dogs talk to him; Winnie scowls, holding a ball, and Rose talks to herself, trying to calm down.

ROSE

I'm where I'm supposed to be in a werewolfless environment.

Jamie scowls at Randy but says things to cheer him up; Randy smiles, hoping she won't hurt him.

Danny and Judy try to comfort Eliza, while Joey and Baxter cheer up Ace.

An animal control officer arrives and announces dinner, opening their cage.

RANDY

Have you got an idea? Anything I can do to help?

ELIZA

Yes. Don't help. I'm still mad at you.

Eliza notices the door dropping, Rose and Baxter playing with a ball, and others eating meat.

Eliza takes the ball from Rose and Baxter, tosses it, and Baxter drops a bone. She grabs it and throws it at the door to stop it from shutting.

ELIZA

Yes.

Eliza tries to squeeze out but is too big; she asks Joey, a puppy, to try.

JOEY

I'll try.

Joey squeezes through the opening and escapes.

ELIZA

Can you reach?

JOEY

Of course, I can reach.

Joey jumps but can't reach the button; Eliza whispers to Danny.

Joey runs up again, but still can't reach; Danny throws him back up.

Joey reaches the control panel but presses the red button, setting off the alarm.

ELIZA

Did you hit the red button?

JOEY

I'm color blind; I can't see red.

JUDY

I thought he saw red all the time.

INT – DOG POUND – DAY – CONTINUOUS

Alarm goes off; Abby hears it and comes to check on the dogs.

JAMIE

I think someone's coming.

ABBY

What's going on?

ROSE

The boss lady.

Eliza and Judy help Joey back into the cage before Abby arrives.

ELIZA

Suck it in.

Joey sucks in his stomach and squeezes back into the cage.

The door crushes the bone holding it up and shuts.

ABBY

Who's trying to escape?

Abby opens the cage door and tells Duke to sniff out the culprit.

Duke looks at Eliza and growls, but Randy steps forward.

RANDY

Yes. And that would be me.

DUKE

You?

ELIZA

Randy, no.

RANDY

It's my fault, all of it. I was trying to escape.

DUKE

Liar. You haven't got the guts, sled dog.

RANDY

Oh?

Randy walks by Duke and approaches Abby.

ABBY

Duke? Why is it walking toward me?

Randy growls at Abby; others watch in anticipation.

Randy lifts his back leg, signaling he is about to pee.

ABBY

Huh. Try it, purple fur ball.

Randy pees on Abby; Abby screams. Evan and Jamie gasp; Winnie and Judy laugh.

Duke grabs Randy by the neck to stop him; Randy pees in various directions as dogs avoid it.

ELIZA

Oh, what? Now you pee in public?

RANDY

I can't help it, I've been holding it in too long.

Abby watches angrily as Randy pees everywhere.

Randy finally stops and says 'Oops.'

Anna walks in and orders Duke to throw Randy in with the beast.

ANNA

Duke. Throw him in with the beast.

RANDY

Wait, beast. You mean the dog-eating dungeon monster.

Duke throws Randy's kennel into the dungeon; Randy falls out and looks at Abby.

ABBY

Enjoy your new cellmate, purple dog.

Abby slams the door and locks Randy in.

Randy runs to the door, begging to get out; Abby ignores him.

Randy finally stops and asks himself, 'What have I done?'
