David Kessler and Jack are dropped off after getting a ride from Truck Driver. After they thank him, he warns them to stay on the roads and off the moors. As they head towards East Proctor, Jack expresses his hope to sleep with Debbie Kline. They stop at the Slaughtered Lamb pub and as they enter it, everyone in the pub stops to stare at them including the Dart Player, 2nd Dart Player, Chess Player and 2nd Chess Player. David and Jack ask if they can come in and then sit down when the Barmaid nods her head yes. Jack points out a pentagram painted on the wall surrounded with candles. David jokes that maybe the owner of the pub is from Texas and when the Barmaid comes back, Jack remarks remember the Alamo. The Chess Player tells a joke about a plane that is low on fuel full of people from the United Nations. Jack asks why the star on the wall is there and the room gets quiet. The Dart Player tells Jack and David that they made him miss the board, which has never happened before and David tells Jack they should leave. The Barmaid tells the others in the bar they can't let David and Jack go out. As they are leaving, the Barmaid tells the others again that they can't let them go and the Dart Player tells them to stay on the road and to stay out of the moors. The Chess Player then warns them about the moon. David and Jack walk off the path as the full moon shines overhead and it starts to rain. David and Jack hear the howling and start to walk back towards the Slaughtered Lamb. They keep on hearing the howling as it starts to circle them. David trips and as Jack is standing next to him, he is attacked by the First Werewolf and killed. Later, Jack's ghost visits David to convince him to commit suicide.
