Moon Knight: the TV series EP #3: Cry Werewolf

The series start when a wounded man in running in the streets, being chased down by a squad of armed men. The man hide behind a corner of the street while the hunters split up to tract down their target. The wounded man wails in pain as he take a look at the sky and see the Moon at its fullest and he begin to rapidly grow body hair, his teeth becomes elongated and turns into fangs, his head structure becomes narrow and turns into a canine-like creature and he also grows a tail. As the commotion behind the alley is getting louder, the hunters converge to the location of the noise, with one of them taking point. Without warning, a creature suddenly lunge to a hunter and take him back to the shadowed street, all the while he was screaming and eventually the place grew silent as the creature comes back and confront the other hunter, locked and loaded ready to shoot. With a blood-drenched claws and a shreded piece of uniform with a piece of flesh still hanging out of its teeth, The sceen is swallowed as it turns black and the sound of gunshots and screams are heard which ends with a very long howl.

Moon Knight is out in the middle of the night whupping some bad guys in the rooftop and are wrapping them up for the police. While Moon Knight is freerunning (parkour) from building to building, he sense something was up, that he is being watched. He called Frenchie in the Mooncopter and said that he should go home and let him patrol the city for a couple of more hours, without telling him of his strange feeling. Frenchie tells Marc that he should be careful and heads off back to Long Island. Moon Knight stopped in and called out the person who is apparently behind him. When nobody comes out, he threw a crescent dart in a exhaust where a man in the shadows come out. He introduces himself as David Benson (from artist David Finch and writer Mike Benson), a sophisticated well-dressed man who claims that his superiors are in need of his assistance. Moon Knight questions him why should he come with him and help his so-called superiors. David points out that if he doesn't comply, He could simply kill him and shoot down the Mooncopter. With all of the sudden camouflaged men appear before them, all armed and point their firearms to Moon Knight and another ready to fire a RPG to the Mooncopter, which is still within firing range of the RPG. Seeing that he doesn't have much of a choice, he goes along with the men.

He is soon lead to a building, where everything is dimmed dark (which is not a problem for Moon Knight since he has the Might of the Moon). They travled in the top floor and Moon Knight is left to stand in front of what seems to be an altar. Suddenly the lights open up and he is confronted to the superiors, The Committee itself. There are 7 leaders whose faces are not shown to remain the element of mystery in their identity. They speak in loud, audible voices to make themselves god-like which they boast very much in a very arrogant manner. The leader in the 3rd row goes to speak to Moon Knight first and commented on what he had done to those nuisance family (the Maggia that he defeated in the last episode) and extended his congratulations. Moon Knight accepts it as a compliment but knew that he wasn't there to be recognize for his actions and asked what is he really doing there. The other leader in the 5th row agreed to Moon Knight's observation and told him that they need his formidable skills to capture a certain individual who is considered a commodity to the Committee. Moon Knight ask who he is and the leader in the 2nd row answered him that his name is Jack Russell and he also demanded that he should be retrieved retrieved within 3 days from tonight. Moon Knight again asked if he couldn't find Jack Russell or if he refused on helping them. The leader in the 4th row, who looks like the leader of them all made clear that he will be very dire. Moon Knight contemplates the situation he is in, and then agrees to capture Jack Russell. Very pleased, the Committee let Moon Knight leave unharmed. But after he leaved the leader in the 1st row voice out that he does not trust Moon Knight and doubts that he could even bring in Jack Russell, while the leader in the 6th row agreeing and telling the leaders that he is still a vigilante, not a mercenary. The 4th leader reassured them that everything is running according to the plan and that they need not worry. He then ordered David to follow Moon Knight and be their eyes and ears in his retrieval mission.

Moon Knight comes back to his Long Island mansion, where he summoned Frenchie and Marlene about the current situation he was in. They find out that the Committee is a legitimate business firm much like his Marc's firm, SpectorCorp, run by a group of anonymous but filthy-stinking rich people. But they also deal with superhuman affairs in order to gain more profit and buy out New York to run the place as an Aristocracy. Frenchie thought they just barged in and take them out, but Marc decide against this because its too dangerous, they're a lot of them and better armed. Marc decides that the best way to defeat them is going inside and busting them wide open outward. They run a profile run to look at what they are dealing with. The next day, Marc, in his Steven Grant personality, calls David as he want to put an investment on their company (David is working as businessman as his day job). David invites Steven and Frenchie (disguise as driver/bodyguard) to take a tour of the Committee's facilities. During the tour, Steven wanted David to become his liason in the Committee and maybe even a business partner. While the two men are having a conversation, Frenchie detach himself from the group to snoop around the place. He sneeks into an employee's computer and manage to hack his way through the Committee's mainframe. Because of shortness of time, Frenchie made a copy of the files to his laptop and soon left before the employee can come back. Soon after, Steven and Frenchie left the Committee. While in the car, Steven reverted back to his original personality and he asked if he "got everything about them", with Frenchie replying that they got everything they need. They look into the files and search for their target, Jack Russell. They found what they're looking for and realized that he is the famed Werewolf by Night and that the Committee is using his lycanthrope anatomy sell as a form of serum for the criminal community, which in turn, grant them much profit. They also found out that Jack had escaped from their facility, with a lot of people dead in his wake. Marc then suits up as Moon Knight to prepare for the hunt, Marlene screams that he is crazy if he going to hunt down Jack in his werewolf form. Marc reinterated her by telling her that Jack has killed those people, even though they're working for some bad people, the fact remains the same. In his room, he talks to the statue of Khonshu on what he should do, and Khonshu spoke through him that this will be a challenge that he must face in oder to prove himself to be the rightful owner of the title as the Avatar of Khonshu. When Moon Knight is about to set out, Frenchie offered himself to help, but Marc holds him back, saying that he needs this to test himself, sort of a religious thing.

In midtown, Jack is now a beggar in the streets. Jack was then being pestered by the other beggars and wants to drive them out of their territory. Jack points out the moon and says, "its the full moon, you wouldn't like when I'm under the full moon" (slight nod to the Hulk). When one of the bully beggars tried to strike him, Jack catches his fist and the bully begins to scream from the pain. The rest of the beggars witness the slow transformation of Jack into the Werewolf. Before he could take a bite out of the bully, a crescent dart comes shooting down and hit the Werewolf at the back. the Werewolf turns and sees Moon Knight in the rooftop ready to battle. The fight starts that spills out the busy streets, buildings and finally in Central park, where Moon Knight manage to pin him down into submission and tranquelize him. After the fight, David appears and extend his congratulations to Moon Knight and commented the fierce battle, he even said that there were times that he could have intervened, but he was commanded not to do so by the Committee. Moon Knight then dragged the unconscious body of the Werewolf before the Committee. The Committee had the body of the Werewolf transfered to a medical facility. The Committee then had Moon Knight apprehended and forcfully asked him to be their enforcer, which Moon Knight angrily reject. The Committee, voicing their disappontment, ordered their men to torture Moon Knight until he agrees, with which Moon Knight quickly had himself release from the hands of his captors and begins to fight them. Not visibly shaken, the Committee ordered additional reinforcements, but was denied of this because the Werewolf had awoken and is starting wreack havoc in the facility. Moon Knight planned this and had the traquelizer at a low dose. When Moon Knight throw his crescent darts to the Committee, they are protected by a force field surrounding the altar. They escape while their soldiers cover for them. With Moon Knight completely surrounded, the soldiers were about to attack him but the odds shifted to Moon Knight's favor when the Werewolf barged in and continously attacked them. Moon Knight and the Werewolf stand triumpant over the Committee's personal army, while the Committee swore that Moon Knight will pay dearly for his disgresions against them. Later, Moon Knight and Jack talk about how being feared but still being a hero can be a burden within one's self, but he did give some hero advice to Moon Knight about using the fear of the night as a weapon of intimidation. At that point, Moon Knight left to patrol the streets, knowing that he has made an enemy out of an organization, but also made his first ally in the superhero community, albeit a feral one.
