Original subtitles

They say Shelton Hamway is the name of the street.

But, I think I'm gonna have to GPS it.

But, I'm gonna have to call you later, Harvey.

Because, I'm working.

I don't know, till late.

I'll call you later.

Yeah.

Okay, see ya.

Down which street?

Turn right at the next street.

Here are these for you.

Wings, huh?

Yep.

Mr. Murphy?

Stop ringing the damn doorbell!

What?

What are you doing here?

You ordered Chinese?

Oh, I did.

Just put 'er on the front step, opened.

Just on the doorstep?

Opened.

Okay.

Weird dude.

No tip.

Mary, I don't get it.

Why can't you come?

I already told you.

Okay, first of all, your job is not a real thing.

Okay?

You choose your own hours,

you don't have a boss that makes you show up or anything.

Hey Steve, how's it going?

- Harvey, I'm working tonight. - It'll be fun.

End of discussion.

I gotta pay for college somehow.

Yeah, why aren't your parents helping you out with that?

I don't know, but buying my car hasn't helped anything.

Apparently I'm not responsible with my money.

Does your dad know you bought a piece of crap?

Do you wanna ride or not?

I would like a ride, please.

Then shut up and get in.

Shutting up.

Getting in.

Shotgun.

Oh, Stephanie posted a video.

Oh.

Something bad happened.

Well, that's sad.

Get home.

I don't even wanna know.

No, no, no.

It legitimately is sad this time, watch.

Eleanor got hit by a car.

Wait, her cat died?

Aw, isn't that sad?

We're going to bury her in the backyard this evening.

That is sad.

Wait, is she having a funeral for it?

I've set up a GoFundMe.

Is she for real?

To assist with burial expenses and the memorial-

Oh, I think so.

She is for real, oh my gosh.

Gotta save for college.

Do you wanna donate to her GoFundMe?

- No. - I think it'd be fun.

It's not a thing.

It is a thing.

You don't have GoFundMes-

We gotta throw a cat funeral.

For a cat.

Are you sure you can't come tonight?

Yep.

Next time though, I promise.

Hey, I'm starting to miss you.

Seriously.

See you.

Bye.

Call Harvey.

Hello?

Hey, I'll come, but I can't stay the whole time.

No, that's awesome.

We're starting the movie around seven.

I'll see you there, I'm excited.

See you.

Okay, bye.

Hey, Mom.

Hey, how was school?

Fine.

Any homework?

Yeah, I have biology and chemistry.

I'm gonna go work on it right now.

Good deal.

So I was thinking about hanging with some friends tonight.

Maybe watch a scary movie or something.

With Harvey?

Yeah.

Your dad's not gonna be happy about that.

Okay, what is wrong with Harvey?

Nothing's wrong with him,

but I can't change what your dad thinks.

Besides, I thought you were supposed to be working tonight?

I am.

I mean, I will, for a little bit.

Your dad is really not gonna be happy about that.

Well, it's not like he's ever happy about anything I do.

Okay, that's not true.

Anyway, he said he'd get back to me by Wednesday.

So, I told him that'd be alright.

You going with the water, or?

Yes, thank you.

Hey.

Hey, where are you going?

Oh, I'm just getting in a couple extra hours of work.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

It's dinner.

Well, I already accepted the order.

What?

Greg, I mean, come on.

You're upset with her when she's not working,

and now you're gonna be upset with her

because she is working?

I mean, which-

I'm not upset.

Do I look upset?

I'm not upset.

I'm just saying it's dinner time.

This is the time when the three of us,

we sit down and we have something to eat, so.

Since when?

Since when have you ever cared about that with her?

Maybe I'm trying to make up for lost time.

Okay.

I don't know what I'm doing here.

Thank you.

Screw it.

Hey, you made it.

Hey guys, Mary's here.

Hey, you can choose the spot on the couch.

Steph, can you move?

Thank you.

Hey.

Hey Steve.

Hey, glad you made it.

Hi, Stephanie.

I'm sorry about your cat.

Right?

So, I think we're still waiting

for a couple people to show up.

Excuse me, ugh.

You want some candy corn?

Sure, yeah.

Man, your dad has like a hundred old monster movies.

The Beast of Yucca Flats?

Oh yeah, yeah.

That's kind of his thing.

We don't have to watch that one, though.

We got-

Ooh, The Haunting.

Oh, have you seen the haunting?

- The old one? - Yeah.

Mm mm, we can't watch that one.

Okay, what about we-

Ooh, Shining, Kubrick, classic.

Mm.

We could do something like Dracula?

Is there a ton of versions of that we could choose from?

Mm.

I just really don't like any bloody movies.

So, no horror movies at all, or anything Halloweeny?

No.

Okay, that's fine.

I mean, that's like the whole reason

that we're doing this, but it's okay.

We can figure something out.

That leaves us like, Hocus Pocus.

Oh, man.

Halloween two.

What's up?

What's "Oh man"?

I'm really sorry.

I'm gonna have to take this order.

My dad will find out if I don't.

I'm supposed to be working tonight.

Who's it for?

Mr. Murphy.

Ha, good luck.

I know, right?

Anyway, thanks for the invite and the candy corn, Harvey.

Yeah, for sure.

Maybe you could come over after, or something.

I'm not sure, maybe.

Bye, everybody.

Bye.

Just leave it on the step again.

Opened.

Sure.

No tip again.

This is gonna get old fast.

Here we go.

Yes, Dad, you can come in.

Hi.

How was work tonight?

Fine.

I wanted to apologize for getting after you at dinner.

You're working hard, it's a good thing.

So were you busy?

Busy enough.

I had leave Harvey's party after five minutes

to deliver Chinese takeout to our creepy neighbor again.

Mm.

You know how I feel about Harvey,

but at least you did the responsible thing

and left when work called.

I appreciate that.

I'm glad to see Seamus is using the app.

He'll make a good customer.

Oh wait.

You showed him the app?

Yeah.

Why?

Oh my gosh.

What?

What are you complaining about?

It was the neighborly thing to do.

He'll be a regular customer for you.

I don't want him as a regular customer.

What, why?

Did you bother to show him how to leave a tip?

A tip?

Mary tips are for good service.

Not for just showing up and doing your job.

You should be nice to him, seriously,

he's had a hard life.

Okay.

Okay.

Oh, not again.

That is it.

Just leave it on the doorstep.

Open!

You know, I'm not your personal delivery girl.

You ever hear of a tip?

Tip?

Yeah.

I've been delivering Chinese here for a week.

You know how far Wing's is?

You know how much I get paid doing this?

No, and I don't care.

I pay to order food.

You get paid to deliver food.

Goodbye.

What is your problem?

Excuse me?

Why are you being such a jerk?

I'm only delivering here 'cause my dad expects me to.

And I'm only ordering on that confounded phone

because my neighbor said his daughter

was saving money for college.

Well, that is gonna take a lot longer if you don't tip.

I would only tip for exceedingly good service,

which I did not receive tonight.

Instead, I get a whiny little girl,

speaking back to her elders.

Leave it on the doorstep.

And if I were you, I'd stay indoors tonight,

with the windows closed.

It's not safe to be out late this time of year.

Not safe?

What a weirdo.

I'm done.

I am done.

I said I told you I would only tip-

Crom Cruach.

See you guys.

Thanks for coming.

See ya.

Do you want me to walk you to your car?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

Hey, I'm super glad you came tonight.

Same.

I needed a break.

I mean, I'm glad you came.

Harvey!

Gonna walk me home?

Yeah, yeah.

One sec.

Okay, well, see you at school.

See you.

Harv.

Yeah, sorry.

Love how you did the pink today, you looks nice.

Thank you.

I ate the rest of your candy corn, I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

It's what it was there for.

Okay.

It was good, heh.

Mr. Murphy?

It's me, it's Mary Eldritch, your neighbor.

I wanted to apologize for last night.

Mr. Murphy?

Hello?

Mr. Murphy?

Mr. Murphy?

What's wrong?

Mr. Murphy is dead.

So the police asked me a ton of questions.

It was like they suspected me.

Mary, don't torture yourself, man.

It wasn't your fault.

Well, I feel like it's my fault

because I was probably the last person he ever saw

and I yelled at him.

I just wanted a tip, but not this bad.

Geez.

Sorry, that was funny.

You coming?

No, no, actually I gotta go grab Stephanie for a project.

Her memorial fund?

Good.

No, it's it's a group thing, actually.

Hey, if you need to get your mind off stuff later,

please just text me, okay?

Seriously.

Okay.

Hey.

Text me, seriously.

Come in.

Hey, how are you feeling?

I am so sorry about what happened.

Losing Mr. Murphy, I mean,

that can be a really difficult thing to process.

Yeah, I guess.

I mean, I barely ever saw him.

It was just kind of a shock seeing him dead.

Yeah, well, I mean, you can talk to me about it.

I'll be okay.

I'm pretty much over it, I think.

Okay.

For now.

But you know, when you're ready to talk about it,

your father and I will be here.

Okay.

Thanks, Mom.

So, I gotta get a lot of homework done.

Yeah, of course.

I am gonna go to bed.

Okay.

But, I'm gonna be available if you need to wake me up

and you need to talk.

Good night, Mom.

Okay.

I'm fine, Harvey.

Geez.

Oh my gosh.

Okay, that is Steve or somebody.

Steve?

Harvey?

Mary, this is ridiculous.

Did your neighbor maybe have one

of those hanging ghost decorations hanging on the street?

Except for a jack-'o-lantern,

he never put up decorations.

Okay.

I mean he could have done that last night though.

He's dead, remember?

Oh yeah, sorry.

Look, if you don't believe me-

I believe you.

Really?

- Yeah, it's Mr. - Murphy's ghost,

trying to get revenges for taking his Chinese food.

All right, see you guys later.

Wait, wait, wait.

Hi.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be a jerk.

You're not a jerk.

Just kind of an idiot sometimes.

Come on.

Listen, are you bugged

that I've been hanging out with Stephanie?

Okay, I take it back.

You're kind of a jerk, too.

Mary, you're telling us a ghost story

like a week before Halloween.

What do you want us to think?

Okay, fine.

See you later, or not, probably.

Yeah, I don't know.

I feel like she's just been stressed out about work

and homework, and all that stuff.

You know how she's been recently?

Mary's been like that since forever.

She can be kind of a drama queen sometimes.

You remember when she said her neighbor died,

and then she totally fell all to pieces?

Yeah, yeah.

That was yesterday.

Or like a few days ago.

Anyway, so some old guy passes away,

and suddenly, it's like, "stop everything, ah."

You know?

Well.

Don't worry about her,

worry about us, Harv.

Wait, us, why would I worry about us?

No, I just mean,

Mary's being funny because of us, you know?

Not really.

So cute sometimes.

Thanks.

Look,

it's just since we started spending time together

that Mary got all huffy,

and nose down at her books and her job.

I mean, didn't you notice that?

No, no.

I guess I didn't.

Well, whatever.

So you doing something tonight?

You're not gonna watch a scary movie without me, I hope.

You don't even like scary movies.

I never said that.

I would totally watch one with you.

Oh, okay.

Harvey.

Hello?

Oh, hi, hi, sorry.

Yeah, I'm getting distracted.

I'm making myself like a little snack thingy.

Sorry about that.

Don't you guys have dinner

pretty late most nights?

Yeah, but my parents are outta town

for the next couple days still, so, I'm here alone.

Really?

Oh, so, are you going to invite me over?

Probably not.

Harvey!

Come on, invite me over.

No, no.

I just mean my parents would murder me

if they find out that I did that.

But they're not there.

I could come right over.

Sorry, no, I don't think that's gonna work out.

Listen, I'm a little busy right now.

Do you mind if I call you back?

Ugh, fine, bye.

Bye.

Geez Louise.

No, this is helpful.

I already know all this stuff from watching movies.

I mean the best I can come up with

is that it's a poltergeist,

'cause it keeps moving things.

Yeah, but the definition doesn't help us.

We need actual information.

Like, why it appeared and why it's haunting us.

The Paranormal Goon Society?

Oh boy.

Who are these people?

People like us?

Yeah, but, I'm not gonna join a weirdo club or anything.

Oh, here's something.

It says a haunting is an emotion

that keeps repeating itself over and over again.

Mr. Murphy must have been really upset

about his Chinese food.

Yeah, or something else,

and he's just taking it out on you.

And also me, for some reason.

This is just ridiculous.

What happened to us is ridiculous.

Yet, here we are.

We need more clues

and I don't think we're gonna find them here.

I think we're gonna find 'em in his house.

His house?

You wanna sneak into Mr. Murphy's house?

Do you have a better idea?

Look, if we're gonna find something,

I feel like it's gonna be in his house.

I guess.

When do you wanna go?

Right now.

Wait, wait, now?

Look, I don't wanna repeat last night if I don't have to.

Ugh, it's locked.

Yeah, I don't think they want anybody trying to break in.

I've never really seen the inside of his house.

Yeah, no one has.

I'm not dating Stephanie, by the way.

I never said you were.

Yeah, but I mean I could, if I wanted to.

Then why don't you?

Cause I don't want to.

Good.

Her cat obsession is bizarre.

Let's try the back.

Okay, fair.

But she only has three of 'em now.

Still too many.

Ah.

Dude, what are you doing?

Mm.

It's open.

Ugh, ow.

You good?

Yeah.

I probably could have just opened the door for you.

So what are we looking for, exactly?

Anything that would indicate

what he was doing when he died.

You know, that's causing such negative energy

that he can't move on.

He was laying on the floor,

like right there when I saw him.

Ah.

Like this?

What are you doing?

Get up.

That is not even respectful.

I'm just trying to recreate the scene.

An old man was lying dead right there, two days ago.

Okay, fine, whatever.

I dunno, Mary,

this just feels like any other old person's house.

Check the bedroom.

Hey, Harvey.

Hey, Harvey, oh my gosh.

- It's a spooky kazoo. - Geez.

I think we should get out of here.

What, no, I just barely found something.

Right, so, I was looking through his old stuff,

his old books in his room.

I think he was very

into the whole Irish mythology legend scene.

Was he from Ireland, do you know?

Yeah.

Or at least his family was.

Hm.

Gonna keep playing the kazoo.

Wow.

This thing's awesome.

Let's open it.

Wow.

He's got this whole life in here.

Mm.

Just letters and stuff, it looks like.

What?

What's up?

What's happening?

Okay, I'm in this photo.

Oh, that's sweet.

What were they doing with Mr. Murphy?

I don't know, hanging out with the neighbor.

Why does he have a photo of us in his stuff?

I don't know.

What a creeper.

That's weird.

Irish families.

Wow, that sounds so interesting.

Everything's Irish in this house.

He owns everything Irish.

This is a house full of Irish.

Maybe that's how he died.

How?

The drink.

Ha.

- Oh my goodness. - Cassette tape.

Hey, does that look familiar to you?

Oh, man.

Maybe this goes way deeper

than old man Murphy's grumpy spirit.

Hm.

Its the police.

Are you kidding?

Yeah, no, I'm not.

We broke into a house.

You think someone didn't see us?

Oh, my gosh.

Close the chest, close it.

So weird, no wonder Dad yelled at you

when you went over there.

Hey.

Hey.

So, I've been reading over that old Murphy history book.

Yeah?

What does it say about them?

It's actually really interesting stuff.

I'm really glad me nabbed this.

Oh my gosh, I can't believe we broke in and stole stuff.

He'll for sure be haunting us now.

Hey, we're solving a mystery, man, come on.

This isn't Scooby-Doo, Harv, this is real life.

Oh, no kidding.

Speaking of real life,

I think I figured out what we both saw,

and it's super scary.

Are you ready?

Sure.

Okay.

So, I will summarize it for you.

Basically, in 500 A.D.,

there was this high king of Ireland named Lughaidh.

Right, he was an ancestor of the Murphy line, actually.

And he found out that his wife had been unfaithful.

Lughaidh?

Mm hm.

Grandson of Nile of the Nine Hostages.

That's pretty cool, right?

You are such a nerd.

I mean, scholarly person.

Thank you.

Okay, keep going.

So, basically, he finds out

that his wife has been canoodling,

and as punishment,

he locks her away in a tower in the woods.

Right?

She dies later on of anguish.

And here's a really scary part.

You ready?

So ready.

So an ancient pagan spirit,

sort of demon monster called Crom Cruach

was attracted by the woman's suffering.

I guess he kind of fed off of it, or something.

And he starts haunting all the members of Lughaidh's clan.

He basically attaches itself to them,

so no matter where they go, or what they do,

they always see this apparition on dark and stormy nights,

especially around something called Sam ha in.

I think it's like a festival or something?

Sam ha in, it's the original Halloween.

I think it was the old Celtic New Year's Eve?

Wait, how do you know that?

My mom explained it to me once.

So, are you saying Mr. Murphy turned into a demon spirit,

like in his family's book?

No, no, Mary don't you get it?

I think the thing we saw last night was Crom Cruach.

An ancient demon from Ireland is haunting us?

Hey, you saw the illustration, okay?

It fits.

Look, I don't know how it got here,

or what it did to your neighbor,

but listen, this is the most important part.

It says it is the responsibility

of the eldest living member of Lughaidh's line,

i.e., the Murphy's,

to placate Crom with offerings,

just as in olden days.

Or, it will consume the souls of the High King's lineage,

one by one, until they're all dead.

And then it will be free to wreak havoc on the world.

- So, you're saying Mr. - Murphy was next in line

in the lineage of the Irish king,

and now that he's dead, this Crom thing is free?

Murphy's name is near the bottom of the family tree

in the book,

so yeah, he's gotta be one of the last ones.

There aren't any names after his?

He had a wife and kid, but they both died a while ago.

Wow.

Poor Mr. Murphy.

No wonder he was so mean.

He was probably just really lonely.

So it wasn't Mr. Murphy haunting us?

It was his family's secret monster,

free now to wreak havoc.

Yeah.

That's just great.

I know.

Nothing with Mr. Murphy.

At least you're not a creep, Mom.

She's gonna love me for this.

After she recovers from her heart attack.

You first, my lovely lady.

What do you mean you can't find the place?

It's the barn in the back of my house.

Mm.

Georgia?

Is that you?

Georgia?

Is that you?

Georgia?

Georgia?

Georgia?

Oh!

No!

Stay away!

Where is it?

Oh, man.

Uh, Steve?

Georgia!

In here.

Do you wanna tell me what all of this is?

Don't worry about that, Georgia.

I just saw ghost, a real, live ghost.

I'm not kidding.

Oh yeah, and then you were gonna scare me with it.

Yeah, hey, Harvey.

I just got the crap scared outta me.

Tell Mary I believe her now.

Totally believe her!

Come on.

You guys are so full of crap.

She wasn't there, she doesn't know.

Shut up, Georgia.

I believe you.

Seriously, because I was there and I didn't see anything.

And why are you in such a pissy mood today?

Okay, okay.

The Murphy book, right?

- Uh huh. - The Murphy history book?

I almost finished reading it.

Guys, brah.

Okay, so, the Murphy clan,

the ones that came here to Lakeside,

initially settled in 1880.

- Right? - Uh huh.

And they quickly became known as,

and I quote,

some of the most valuable

and contributing members of society.

Wow, that didn't last.

Absolutely not, no.

Even at the end of the book that I had,

there was one of those overdue library,

like stamp cards.

Mm hm.

It means the book was stolen.

Wow.

Read a freaking book, kids, my goodness.

So that's not all,

in 1910, Carnegie, when he built the old library, right?

The Murphy's donated everything they had.

Right, books, old Irish artifacts.

So more history stuff?

Yeah.

Great.

Who's Carnegie?

And why do you know all this random crap?

It's history facts,

and, I dunno guys,

I think this might be our one legit chance for a lead?

So, we're going to the library?

Yeah.

I'm in.

This one's all just census records

from when they were in Ireland.

Like, extended family history stuff,

but it doesn't go that far back.

This box is mostly just Xerox copies

of all the newspaper clippings.

There's lot stuff in here

about a guy named Connor Murphy,

ran for mayor in Lakeside.

He won, actually.

He's the one who donated all this stuff.

Xeroxed?

Yeah.

Georgia's right, you are weird.

Now it's just weird

they haven't digitized any of this yet.

Maybe they had to pull it out of the basement

for a reason.

Sure.

Harvey, can I talk to you about something,

like in confidence?

Yeah, sure, what's up?

I found some papers in my mom's closet.

In her box of family stuff.

What kind of papers?

Adoption papers.

You're adopted?

Sort of.

I guess the papers were never actually signed.

Not signed.

Okay, so what does that mean?

I think it means that technically I'm an O'Connor,

not an Eldritch.

I don't think that Greg's actually my dad.

But the thing is, when I was born,

my parents had already been married for three years.

Please don't tell anyone about this.

No, of course, of course.

Have you talked to them?

- No. - Probably should.

Look what I found in the restricted section.

Harry Potter, anyone?

No?

Oh, I haven't seen them in forever.

Mm hm, but you watched black and white movies?

That's fair.

It was actually in the folklore and mythology section.

Our haunted history, Irish legends, and folklore.

Alp-luatra, the joint eater.

The banshee, kasith, changeling, Crom Cruach, right there.

Mm hm.

It even has a whole section

about the origins of Halloween,

and trick or treating and stuff.

Well, we could find that stuff on the internet.

With pictures like these?

You guys can keep looking through your historical documents,

but after last night,

I think this is way more practical.

Ah, sure.

Couldn't it wait till after dinner, huh?

Hey, you hungry?

What's the matter?

I don't know.

I have no idea.

I'm not even sure whose daughter I am.

Whoa, whoa.

Hey, hey.

Honey, honey.

Wait, where did-

In Mom's closet.

Maybe you should talk to your mom.

I'm going to, but I need to ask you-

Why didn't we tell you?

Why haven't you signed it?

I-

Mary, listen.

No, no, listen, listen.

Wow, this is not how I planned on having this conversation.

You know, I really wish you had respected our privacy.

Your privacy?

Your privacy?

This is about me.

Mom cheated on you, didn't she?

That's why you hate me so much.

It makes sense.

Nope.

Hey, nobody hates anybody, especially-

Hey, Carrie!

Honey?

Nobody hates anybody, Mary.

So what's my real dad's name?

What is his name?

Don't I at least deserve to know that?

Come on, you couldn't bring yourself

to tell me I wasn't yours.

You couldn't bring yourself to sign it,

can you at least give me something?

Hey, I'm coming.

What is going on?

Oh, no.

Mary, what have you done?

What have I done?

No, no, that's not what I meant.

It's not this, no wait.

What am I doing out here?

What was that all about there, Harvey?

Shut up.

You were five minutes late.

Okay then, that's not right.

Oh, did do you end up talking to your parents?

Yeah.

How'd that go?

Not good.

Sorry.

What are you wearing?

Never mind.

Just get inside.

- Geez Louise. - What?

You look cute, bro.

Why is this so dark in here?

I don't want him to know we're here.

Okay, so you have information?

I finished the book.

Okay.

Did you find something interesting?

Oh yeah.

The ancient Celts believe that the time

at the end of the harvest

and the beginning of winter

was when the wall between life and death was thinnest.

That the spirits could pass through, either way.

They called it Sam ha in.

He does he know how to pronounce it?

Sh.

When the dark over takes the light,

the book tells how they would gather near ancient tombs,

and light gigantic bonfires

to attract the lost spirits

of those who died during the previous year.

Showing them the way to the afterlife,

the ancients wear costumes of animal skin

to keep the spirits of the Aoshi of the other world

from recognizing and tormenting them.

Okay, so that explains the costume.

It's not a costume, it's ancient protection.

Anyways, I think I figured out what Mr. Murphy was doing.

They used to leave food out on the doorsteps

around Halloween time to appease the spirits.

If a ghost came to your house and found food,

they would leave you alone.

So you think he was leaving Chinese food on his doorstep

to keep this Crom Cru-

whatever, from harming him?

Exactly.

It was attached to his family, right?

But now that he's gone,

it's lost in the world until Halloween night.

Well wait, why Halloween?

What happens on Halloween?

If it's shown the way to the afterlife,

it will be trapped there until the next Halloween.

And, if it's not shown the way?

Well if what the book says is true,

Crom Cruach will wreak havoc on the world.

Okay, so, why didn't Mr. Murphy,

or any of the other Murphy's already direct Crom

to the afterlife?

I don't know.

You're the one that said Crom was trying kill the Murphy's

so it could be free.

So maybe that had something to do with it.

And the book says,

St. Patrick's destroy Croms too, hundreds of years ago.

So maybe they thought they had no tune to go to.

Or maybe they did direct it every Halloween night,

and didn't bother to tell anyone,

or maybe-

Okay, Steve, we get it.

We have to direct it to a tomb by Halloween night,

which is tomorrow,

and not get killed.

And if we mess up, then everyone is screwed.

Any ideas?

I've got a plan.

Oh boy.

Come on, Steve.

What could you possibly be doing tonight?

Steve?

Just text me back.

Hello?

You can come in.

Ring doesn't help,

if it's not on my phone, Mom.

I'm coming!

Harv, do you think Steve's totally crazy?

Are we all just going crazy?

No, I actually,

unfortunately, think he has a pretty solid idea

of what's happening.

Yeah.

This is all my fault.

I can't believe something so awful could happen

just because I was an idiot.

Oh, come on, Mary.

No, don't don't blame yourself.

Come on.

Well, I do.

I feel terrible because I started all of this.

I messed with his offering.

Who's offering?

Mr. Murphy's, the Chinese food.

He knew what he was doing.

I thought he was crazy.

Just an old crank who never tipped.

But, now look what's happening.

It is a lot.

I practically murdered him, Harvey.

No, no, you didn't, stop doing that to yourself, stop.

I did, I messed up his offering.

Now he's dead,

there's some kind of ancient death god on the loose.

It could be any one of us next.

Oh my gosh,

I think I'm gonna be sick.

Okay, are you gonna pass out, do you need sit down?

No, I'm gonna puke.

Okay, okay, okay.

We'll get you-

One sec.

It's Georgia.

Why didn't she text Steve?

She's probably messing with you.

She said, "Help, it's in my house."

Georgia!

Ah, Georgia!

Georgia, we're here for you, come on!

I swear, it was locked.

I think the scream came from in here.

Georgia!

Okay, hey.

Hey, you're okay, you're okay.

I believe it now, all of it.

So why are we building a tomb?

Couldn't we just go to a cemetery and use the graves?

A graveyard wouldn't work.

There's no tombs there for Crom to enter.

The ancients gathered her on a megalithic tomb

with an entrance to the other world.

As I figured,

we need to be as close to an Irish tomb as possible.

And I don't think anyone's gonna let us dig an entrance

through their grave.

Yeah, because this looks just like Ireland.

You're such a nerd.

Just finish stacking the stupid rocks, okay?

Yeah, whatever you say, your majesty.

Okay, so, Crom is lured here by the bonfire, and us,

and then we lead him to this tomb.

Okay, I mean, it's not terrible.

Oh my gosh, I'm an idiot.

It's not gonna work.

Why not?

This was your plan.

Because unless something is buried in there,

it's not a real tomb.

There's no link to the other world.

Oh boy.

Yeah.

I know exactly who we have to call,

and you're gonna have to talk to her, pretty boy.

Who?

So you want me to what?

Exhume your cat.

We just wanted to give her a proper burial.

I know how much Eleanor meant to you, and everything.

So we built her a monument.

We built her a monument,

and we just wanted to show proper respect for the dead.

Who is we?

Oh, just the gang.

It's Steve, Georgia, Mary, myself.

The gang.

Oh, we don't really talk like that anymore.

Also, what does exhume mean?

Dig up.

Ew, no, no.

That's, oh, that's so gross.

Harvey.

What are you talking about?

To ask anyone to dig up their pet,

or literally any animal,

is disgusting and that's really disrespectful.

The monument would be nice though.

But Harvey,

I don't even know why you're calling me

because I gave you a chance and you missed it.

So, bye.

No, no, wait, wait.

He'll be texting me back second now, right?

He will.

Yes he will, Lalas.

She hung up.

Nice idea.

What now?

You guys aren't seriously giving up that easily, are you?

She's not gonna let us dig up her cat.

Okay, well here's a bright idea.

What if we just didn't ask her?

No.

No, no, no, no.

Mary, you're killing me.

Yeah, you want Crom to be set free on the world tonight?

Okay.

What's the plan?

Hello, Harv.

Hi, Stephanie.

Hi.

You look beautiful.

You look so good.

Thank you.

Mm hm.

What do you want?

Look, I came to apologize about being insensitive.

Oh, about wanting to dig up my cat.

Yeah, that's okay.

It's fine.

You're not the first person has to do that before, so.

Okay.

Oh, I have this-

This is this for you.

Stephanie, I wanted to ask you on a proper date, tonight.

Harvey, really?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Tonight?

Yes, yes, yes.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Did you find it?

Yeah.

Does it matter which one?

Yeah, the freshest one.

Ew.

She has painted every single stone with her cats' names.

It's Eleanor.

How do you know that?

I saw the picture she posted.

I was wondering if you would be my Halloween queen?

Yeah, I don't know.

I already totally made some plans tonight, so.

Oh, it's gonna be fun,

it's gonna be fun.

There's gonna be like, the costumes, decorations.

So you want me to be your Halloween queen?

Yes, that'd be great.

That'd be so good.

Harvey, what are you really doing here?

Oh my gosh.

Oh my gosh, you're so sweet!

Stop!

You put this whole thing together just to surprise me.

Oh.

Already-

Do you think you're gonna be ready in time?

I don't know.

You haven't told me where or when it is, silly.

Yeah, so it's at this old barn.

It's by this big grassy field.

Here, let me show you on the map.

The map?

Mm hm, here.

Oh, you know what?

We can just-

Or I could just use your hand.

Oh.

That's okay.

So.

Wow.

This is Hobble Avenue.

This is-Yes.

Cherry Creek Lane.

There's the barn.

Man, he's really putting the moves on her.

At what time?

Like, seven, or midnight,

or in between eight or nine?

You know what, let's say,

I'm gonna make the executive decision.

I'm gonna pick you up at eight.

Okay, that's this kind of strange, but, okay.

Great.

So is that a yes?

Yeah.

How hard can it possibly be to dig up a dead cat?

Oh, wow.

You, Harv.

You're funny.

Thanks.

Hm.

So I will, I'll see you at eight.

Uh, uh huh.

I'll pick you up.

Okay.

Oh, the theme is, for the costumes, is animals.

Animals?

It's an animal theme.

- Okay. - Bye.

Bye, see ya.

I'll remind you.

- Okay. - I'll text you.

Oh, great.

Okay.

- So excited. - Goodbye.

Yeah.

You're not actually planning on picking her up, right?

Well, I have to now.

I don't wanna be a jerk.

I think in this instance,

it's totally acceptable for you to be a jerk.

No, you didn't see her face.

If I stand her up, I'm gonna break her heart.

She was so excited.

You're ridiculous.

You're actually insane, Harvey.

That lip color looks really great on you,

by the way.

She's a good kisser.

Go on.

Vamonos, let's go.

Mary, do the honors.

I cannot believe we just did this.

Look, it has to be an actual tomb to catch Crom.

Who knows, maybe a real eulogy might help.

Oh, okay.

Ha.

Here we have buried this cat.

It was run over by a car.

Its name was-

Eleanor.

Its name was Eleanor.

And, may it rest in peace for a little while,

and may Stephanie not know, until later.

Oh hey, freaking men.

Good enough.

That is one excellent Irish tomb.

Let's up the Crom thinks so.

Sorry, Ralph.

Hey.

What ya doing?

I'm making a costume.

For work?

Sure.

Yeah.

Yeah, if I end up taking any orders tonight.

Well, you should.

Everybody orders out on Halloween.

Nobody wants to spend the night cooking.

Right.

And a good costume,

that'll help you with some tips.

Mm hm.

Listen, Mary.

I wanted to say, I'm sorry.

For everything.

You're working.

And, I've had to work on myself a little bit,

sort a few things out.

But I want you to know,

I'm proud of your efforts.

Your mom and I, we had a good talk.

And, we're gonna help you pay for your college.

Not everything,

but I'd like to help you

with your tuition

and at least make sure the first few semesters go smoothly.

How's that sound?

Thank you, Dad.

Your father's name was Patrick.

What happened to him?

He died in a car crash.

You were about a year old.

Be safe out there, okay?

Watch out for trick or treaters and work hard.

Okay.

Trick or treat!

There you go!

Oh, love the costumes.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'm so hot, I have to take this off.

Nope!

Back on.

Not right now.

Please, please, leave it on.

Why?

It's for your own safety.

For your own safety?

Ugh, I cannot believe that he actually brought her.

Mm hm.

I love Wing's Chinese.

It's so good.

I love the noodles.

Yeah, well, it seemed to fit the occasion.

I love them.

Just chew with your mouth closed, please.

Harvey, this is so fun.

Hm.

Mm.

So, Mary,

who's your date?

Oh, you'll meet him later.

He's gonna probably show like later tonight.

That's right.

He'll hopefully make an appearance later.

Probably fly in last minute.

Who is he?

Okay, it's almost nine o'clock.

I think we should get this party started.

Whoa, what are we doing?

What are we doing?

What?

Sorry.

We're gonna light the bonfire.

Oh.

Hey, how you doing?

I'm good.

Patrick.

My real dad's name was Patrick.

Greg told me earlier.

Patrick.

I feel like you've heard that name before.

It's a pretty common name.

Don't worry.

I won't tell anyone.

So are we gonna make marshmallows,

or what's happening?

So, is he coming?

I don't know.

Who?

Your date?

No, Crom.

Who's Crom?

Nobody.

Okay.

Okay, so, it's been super fun and everything,

but it's like almost midnight

and we haven't done anything Halloweeny.

So, I'm just gonna head out.

Coming with, Harv?

Harv?

Stephanie, I'm so sorry.

I can't.

Oh.

I'm sincerely, I'm so sorry.

Look, I get it.

No, it's-

I'm gonna go.

Stephanie, no, please.

Stephanie, please, please.

You can't go, okay?

Why?

You just can't, okay?

Why?

Guys?

Don't look at me.

Don't look at-

She's part of this now, all right?

She's just in as much dangerous as the rest of us.

And that's her freaking cat we buried up there.

Harvey!

What?

Who's to say Crom isn't gonna go after her?

What was the thing about my cat?

She knows too much.

We'll have to tie her up.

Oh, no, no, Steve.

We are not tying her up.

What did you do with my cat?

Nothing.

You didn't.

Stephanie, just-

You did not, Harvey!

Stephanie, we're trying to save the world, Stephanie!

Eleanor!

Oh, Eleanor.

- Eleanor! - We should tie her up.

No.

Eleanor, Eleanor.

Stephanie, wait.

Eleanor, come on.

No, go away!

Stephanie, wait, listen to me.

I don't know what's wrong with you people,

but you need some serious help.

Stephanie.

I can't believe I let you kiss me.

Please.

Stephanie, you have to listen to me.

Eleanor.

You have to leave it.

You have to leave it.

We'll die.

It's okay, it's okay.

What the hell was that?

What the-

Eleanor?

Eleanor, is that you?

Eleanor?

Hey, Eleanor.

Okay, okay.

I'm done.

Okay.

It's all on you guys.

Move towards the fire.

Towards me.

Move towards the sound of my voice.

Forty degrees Fahrenheit,

you're going to freeze to death.

We're trying to save your freaking life.

You guys, I just got chills.

He's here.

Who's here?

Stephanie, be quiet.

Okay, sorry.

Hey remember what I told you

about Mr. Murphy's family tree?

Yeah.

Told you he had a son, right?

The one that died as a child.

What?

No, no, he died when he was like 30.

Oh.

Anyway, his name was Patrick.

That's where I remember hearing the name from.

Mr. Murphy's son, Patrick,

died in an accident like 17 years ago.

What?

Sh.

When he appears,

everyone quietly follow Mary toward the tomb.

Move slowly.

Stephanie.

Stephanie, don't.

Stephanie, don't, no!

Stephanie!

Stephanie.

Whatever you do, just don't move.

Mary Eldritch!

You are in big trouble, young lady.

You lied to me.

Dad?

You said you were out working.

It's almost midnight,

and here you are out with your friends?

Dad, go away!

Get out of here!

No!

Holy shit!

Oh, no.

Patrick Murphy, I'm a Murphy.

Mr. Murphy was the protector.

I'm a Murphy!

Hey!

Crom Cruach!

Stop!

My name is Mary Eldritch,

and I'm the only daughter of Patrick Murphy.

The only son of Seamus Murphy.

I'm the final living heir of his lineage,

and you are bound to me.

I demand you, let him go!

Mary, what are you doing?

Two minutes till midnight.

Sh!

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

Ah!

You can't do anything, Crom,

unless you kill me first.

Eat Chinese food, jerk.

Are you guys seeing what I'm seeing?

What the hell?

What is happening?

Mary!

Oh, my antlers.

We did it.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Are you?

Yeah.

Great.

Ooh.

Greg, Greg?

Midnight on the dot.

Hey guys, we just killed a demon.

Steven, shut up.

Greg.

Greg?

Greg, are you okay?

Yeah.

Think I hit my head.

Ugh, I'm sorry.

Mary, I'm sorry,

whatever happened,

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

What was that thing?

It's a-

It's gone now.

It's over.

Greg.

Whatever happened between you and Mom,

I know I remind you of it every day,

and I'm sorry for that,

but I really need you to be my dad.

I am your dad,

and you are my little girl.

Don't you ever forget it.

Help me get up.

Can someone explain to me what the hell just happened?

It all started with a book.

Come on, man.

Sorry again about the make out situation.

We're not roasting marshmallows?

Wait.

Don't even look in your costume.

I'm not even a Halloween queen, am I?

Don't you wanna know more about the book?

No, she really doesn't.

Hey, Harvey.

We just saved the world!

You're the greatest!
