00:00:01,873 --> 00:00:03,367
(CASSIE NIGHTINGALE):
Halloween has always been
2
00:00:03,402 --> 00:00:06,083
the most exciting day
in Middleton. It all got started
3
00:00:06,118 --> 00:00:09,216
150 years ago with a man
named Cotton Perriwood,
4
00:00:09,241 --> 00:00:11,642
one of our more
"interesting" inhabitants,
5
00:00:11,824 --> 00:00:15,059
for a self-described alchemist
who used his deductive powers
6
00:00:15,094 --> 00:00:17,861
in a way that some people
thought was magic.
7
00:00:18,222 --> 00:00:20,998
He lived alone on the outskirts
of town but caught the attention
8
00:00:21,023 --> 00:00:23,657
of one lady, the mayor's daughter,
9
00:00:23,682 --> 00:00:25,715
who also happened to be a Merriwick.
10
00:00:26,276 --> 00:00:27,771
The two were engaged to be married
11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,808
until Cotton used
his advanced scientific skills
12
00:00:30,833 --> 00:00:34,602
to predict the Middleton
Bridge Collapse of 1886.
13
00:00:34,627 --> 00:00:36,761
Some people thought
that Cotton Perriwood's magic
14
00:00:36,786 --> 00:00:38,619
played a part in causing the disaster,
15
00:00:38,718 --> 00:00:40,818
so he was banished
from Middleton forever,
16
00:00:40,853 --> 00:00:43,420
chased off one stormy Halloween night,
17
00:00:43,456 --> 00:00:47,091
which means he never saw
the woman he loved again.
18
00:00:47,126 --> 00:00:49,460
Cotton vowed revenge on the town,
19
00:00:49,485 --> 00:00:51,415
leaving behind
a written prophecy that said
20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,074
Middleton would suffer a great curse.
21
00:00:54,099 --> 00:00:56,332
And ever since then,
everyone has wondered:
22
00:00:56,774 --> 00:00:59,793
"Is this the year
that the prophecy comes true?"
23
00:01:00,961 --> 00:01:02,406
He cursed the town
24
00:01:02,441 --> 00:01:04,408
all because he was in love
with a Merriwick?
25
00:01:04,443 --> 00:01:06,377
But he couldn't be with her,
so he wanted
26
00:01:06,412 --> 00:01:08,779
everyone in Middleton
to feel as bad has he felt.
27
00:01:09,595 --> 00:01:11,482
What do you think the curse said?
28
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,450
I don't know, but the Merriwicks
29
00:01:13,475 --> 00:01:15,375
have always wondered if we fit into it.
30
00:01:15,488 --> 00:01:17,955
Well, it'd be a little spooky if we did.
31
00:01:17,990 --> 00:01:22,259
(CASSIE CHUCKLING) Maybe so,
but a little spooky keeps life interesting.
32
00:01:23,429 --> 00:01:25,896
How about we put this... right here?
33
00:01:25,931 --> 00:01:29,366
Uh, let's keep that spot open.
I have Jared looking in the basement
34
00:01:29,391 --> 00:01:31,291
at City Hall, and I wanna leave a spot
35
00:01:31,316 --> 00:01:33,583
- for whatever he finds.
-
36
00:01:33,739 --> 00:01:35,539
OK.
37
00:01:35,608 --> 00:01:37,975
How about I put these empty bins away?
38
00:01:38,044 --> 00:01:40,311
You're sure they're empty?
39
00:01:44,717 --> 00:01:49,086
Wow. Oh my gosh! There you are!
40
00:01:49,155 --> 00:01:51,422
Aw, I remember when you made
that when you were 8.
41
00:01:51,490 --> 00:01:53,031
Can I put it on the mantel?
42
00:01:53,056 --> 00:01:55,450
Why don't we stick with our tradition
of setting it last.
43
00:01:55,494 --> 00:01:57,703
- We light the candle together
- Mm-hmm.
44
00:01:57,704 --> 00:01:59,704
On Halloween night.
45
00:02:00,666 --> 00:02:02,202
- Hi, Sam.
- Morning.
46
00:02:02,237 --> 00:02:03,622
Morning.
47
00:02:03,657 --> 00:02:07,371
- So, what do you think?
- I think anyone who looks
48
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,074
at your house
and then looked at my house
49
00:02:10,142 --> 00:02:12,548
would know right away that two
very different people live here.
50
00:02:12,583 --> 00:02:14,578
Wait, you're not putting anything up?
51
00:02:14,613 --> 00:02:17,981
Oh, I think you've got enough
decorations for all of us.
52
00:02:18,050 --> 00:02:20,050
(CHUCKLING) I better get going.
53
00:02:20,086 --> 00:02:22,986
I have some guests arriving
that I need to check in.
54
00:02:23,666 --> 00:02:25,622
OK. But I didn't see any guests.
55
00:02:25,691 --> 00:02:28,425
(ENCHANTING MUSIC)
56
00:02:30,930 --> 00:02:32,763
Still a little bit spooky
when you do that.
57
00:02:32,832 --> 00:02:34,898
Well, that's what makes
life interesting.
58
00:02:35,597 --> 00:02:37,067
Welcome to Grey House.
59
00:02:37,103 --> 00:02:39,036
-
- I've set you up
60
00:02:39,071 --> 00:02:41,438
- in the honeymoon suite.
- How did you know
61
00:02:41,507 --> 00:02:43,139
we were on our honeymoon?
62
00:02:43,164 --> 00:02:45,333
You were both playing
with your new rings.
63
00:02:47,346 --> 00:02:51,115
- We got married last week.
- Just came back from Hawaii.
64
00:02:51,150 --> 00:02:52,995
We were going past Middleton
and thought,
65
00:02:53,030 --> 00:02:56,618
hey, we could spend our first
Halloween together here.
66
00:02:57,703 --> 00:02:59,390
You can come in.
67
00:02:59,871 --> 00:03:01,625
We were just about to.
68
00:03:01,694 --> 00:03:04,274
Your house looks amazing out there.
69
00:03:04,309 --> 00:03:06,330
Thank you. My daughter
and I decorate it together.
70
00:03:06,399 --> 00:03:09,566
Yeah, we heard how all out
this town goes for Halloween,
71
00:03:09,602 --> 00:03:11,535
so we just decided
to check it out for ourselves.
72
00:03:11,570 --> 00:03:14,204
- For our anniversary.
- Oh, how long have you been married?
73
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,342
- Fifty years last Saturday.
- We got married last Saturday!
74
00:03:18,932 --> 00:03:22,045
Really? Congratulations!
75
00:03:22,114 --> 00:03:24,515
Room available if you're
looking for a place to stay.
76
00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:28,185
- We are, and we'd love to.
- Yeah.
77
00:03:28,254 --> 00:03:30,721
- Right this way.
- After the honeymooners...
78
00:03:30,756 --> 00:03:34,825
- (CHUCKLING)
-
79
00:03:40,833 --> 00:03:42,164
Oh, thanks!
80
00:03:43,269 --> 00:03:44,902
What's all that?
81
00:03:44,937 --> 00:03:47,137
That's the last
of my Halloween decorations.
82
00:03:47,173 --> 00:03:50,380
I brought all my old stuff
over to the second-hand shop,
83
00:03:51,010 --> 00:03:52,943
then I found that box
that I forgot to bring.
84
00:03:53,012 --> 00:03:55,594
- Aren't you putting anything up?
- Yes,
85
00:03:56,248 --> 00:03:58,782
but I hired a company that is
gonna bring everything I need
86
00:03:58,807 --> 00:04:01,808
and do all the work for me.
Just as soon as they can fit me
87
00:04:01,833 --> 00:04:04,061
- into their schedule.
- (MAN): Hmm?
88
00:04:05,312 --> 00:04:06,723
Can I help you?
89
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:09,993
Oh, I was just... curious
90
00:04:10,029 --> 00:04:12,129
to know when these would be displayed.
91
00:04:12,164 --> 00:04:14,364
Well, I'm not sure if they are.
92
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,367
But if you stick around
for a few more days,
93
00:04:17,436 --> 00:04:20,103
you can see this place
come completely alive.
94
00:04:20,139 --> 00:04:22,372
95
00:04:22,441 --> 00:04:25,142
That's something
I'm most interested to see.
96
00:04:29,114 --> 00:04:32,015
I don't know why you wanted
anything dug out of storage;
97
00:04:32,084 --> 00:04:34,384
you already have
Middleton's most decorated house
98
00:04:34,420 --> 00:04:36,920
- regardless of the holiday.
- I just wanted to add
99
00:04:36,956 --> 00:04:39,056
a bit of Halloween history
to what I did this year
100
00:04:39,091 --> 00:04:41,191
in case we found something unique.
101
00:04:41,227 --> 00:04:44,808
- And it looks like you did.
- Does it? It's just a bunch of old junk.
102
00:04:45,631 --> 00:04:48,094
Look at that, it looks like sort
103
00:04:48,162 --> 00:04:49,867
of a gargoyle.
104
00:04:49,902 --> 00:04:51,969
And looks like there are
three more just like it!
105
00:04:52,004 --> 00:04:54,671
- Oh.
- You know what?
106
00:04:54,707 --> 00:04:58,742
There's writing on this.
Oh, my goodness!
107
00:05:00,012 --> 00:05:01,845
Will you look at that. I thought
108
00:05:01,914 --> 00:05:03,914
- this was lost to the ages.
- What is that?
109
00:05:03,983 --> 00:05:08,919
It's the Perriwood prophecy,
written by Cotton Perriwood himself!
110
00:05:08,954 --> 00:05:11,755
Is that the guy that was in
love with the Merriwick woman?
111
00:05:11,790 --> 00:05:14,958
It was, except hardly anyone's
ever read exactly what he wrote.
112
00:05:15,027 --> 00:05:17,761
Well, then I think a Merriwick
should be the first to do it.
113
00:05:17,796 --> 00:05:19,696
Hmm... right.
114
00:05:21,267 --> 00:05:23,901
Well, it's kind of hard
to tell what it says.
115
00:05:23,936 --> 00:05:25,969
It's written in some sort of verse.
116
00:05:26,726 --> 00:05:28,705
"In the hall of sustenance found,
117
00:05:28,741 --> 00:05:32,809
the Halloween faces stare up
from the ground."
118
00:05:32,845 --> 00:05:34,778
I wouldn't know
what a Halloween face is,
119
00:05:34,847 --> 00:05:37,281
let alone why one would be
staring up at us.
120
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:45,856
Oops!
121
00:05:48,794 --> 00:05:51,228
- Halloween faces.
- That's probably
122
00:05:51,263 --> 00:05:54,798
- just a coincidence, right?
- Probably.
123
00:05:54,867 --> 00:05:57,167
Or maybe Cotton Perriwood
wants this to be
124
00:05:57,236 --> 00:05:59,134
the most magical Halloween of all.

- Hey.
129

- What's all that?
- Just a few decorations

wanted to use them.

Well, hi! That's a pleasant surprise.

- Hi.
- Ooh, what'd you bring me?
136
00:06:51,557 --> 00:06:54,091
Just something to help you get
into the Halloween spirit.
137
00:06:54,159 --> 00:06:56,393
And by Halloween spirit,
do you mean scaring
138
00:06:56,428 --> 00:06:58,495
small children or giving them
a week-long sugar rush?
139
00:06:59,444 --> 00:07:02,265
I mean decorating and being
with family and friends,
140
00:07:02,334 --> 00:07:04,267
like we're gonna do on Halloween night.
141
00:07:04,336 --> 00:07:07,160
- Oh yeah, your big party's coming up.
- Mm-hmm.
142
00:07:08,641 --> 00:07:10,247
Speaking of which...
143
00:07:11,176 --> 00:07:12,976
I've got to wear a costume for that?
144
00:07:13,012 --> 00:07:15,445
Some people dress up,
but you don't have to.
145
00:07:16,002 --> 00:07:18,885
- Could I come as a doctor?
- Yeah, that sounds perfect.
146
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,985
See? I can get into Halloween
thing almost as much as you.
147
00:07:28,927 --> 00:07:30,877
Think that's regular or decaf?
148
00:07:30,946 --> 00:07:33,230
You didn't even flinch.
You never flinch.
149
00:07:33,265 --> 00:07:37,467
- Doesn't anything scare you?
- Uhhh, nothing I can think of.
150
00:07:47,012 --> 00:07:49,813
- So, what did you find out?
- Not very much.
151
00:07:49,848 --> 00:07:52,082
Well, I thought you were
supposed to be an expert
152
00:07:52,117 --> 00:07:54,284
in matters such as this.
That's why I wanted you
153
00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:56,820
to take the prophecy home and study it.
154
00:07:56,855 --> 00:07:58,587
I did, I read every page.
155
00:07:59,658 --> 00:08:01,670
"While others pass to get their sleep,
156
00:08:01,739 --> 00:08:04,261
within the fount, the creatures leap."
157
00:08:04,296 --> 00:08:07,230
And then, there's this,
158
00:08:07,266 --> 00:08:09,933
"Behold the rare foreboding sight,
159
00:08:09,968 --> 00:08:13,170
the chilling horde that soars by night."
160
00:08:13,238 --> 00:08:16,106
Leaping creatures? Soaring hordes?
161
00:08:16,141 --> 00:08:18,475
Sounds more like the 12 days
of Christmas than anything
162
00:08:18,544 --> 00:08:20,577
I can get our small business
owners excited about.
163
00:08:21,109 --> 00:08:23,046
I'm not exactly sure why we would want
164
00:08:23,082 --> 00:08:25,482
to make this the year
of the Perriwood curse.
165
00:08:26,156 --> 00:08:29,586
The last page predicts
what might happen.
166
00:08:29,655 --> 00:08:31,822
Friendships will be tested
167
00:08:31,857 --> 00:08:34,758
and we'll all be
thrust into darkness, and love
168
00:08:34,793 --> 00:08:37,794
- will struggle to survive.
- Oh my!
169
00:08:37,830 --> 00:08:40,964
But until any of these other
things start happening, we don't
170
00:08:40,999 --> 00:08:42,833
- need to worry about that.
- Then we won't.
171
00:08:42,868 --> 00:08:45,702
Jared, put out a press release
about the document being found.
172
00:08:45,771 --> 00:08:49,272
150 years old, magical
predictions, blah blah blah.
173
00:08:49,308 --> 00:08:52,409
Just don't say anything about the curse.
174
00:08:52,444 --> 00:08:55,445
- Yuck!
- Yes, Madam Mayor. "Yuck!"
175
00:08:56,546 --> 00:08:58,115
In the meantime,
I suppose we should all be
176
00:08:58,183 --> 00:09:00,250
on the lookout for anything that leaps
177
00:09:00,285 --> 00:09:02,352
or soars, just in case.
178
00:09:02,387 --> 00:09:05,155
Although, that would make
Middleton's Halloweens
179
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:07,958
even more famous
than they already are. Hahaha!
180
00:09:08,026 --> 00:09:11,061
- Come, Jared.
-
181
00:09:11,096 --> 00:09:15,398
- (DOOR CHIME)
- Thank you.
182
00:09:22,941 --> 00:09:24,941
How goes married life?
183
00:09:24,977 --> 00:09:26,743
So far so good.
184
00:09:27,217 --> 00:09:29,379
It's so weird to think
that three months ago
185
00:09:29,414 --> 00:09:32,649
we didn't even know each other,
and now here we are,
186
00:09:32,684 --> 00:09:34,583
about to spend the rest
of our lives together.
187
00:09:34,608 --> 00:09:35,663
I didn't realise you got
188
00:09:35,688 --> 00:09:38,311
- married that fast.
- Well, can you blame me?
189
00:09:39,291 --> 00:09:41,525
- It was love at first sight.
-
190
00:09:42,357 --> 00:09:43,789
And then I got to know her and found out
191
00:09:43,814 --> 00:09:45,386
that we like so many of the same things.
192
00:09:47,737 --> 00:09:49,833
Well, if one of the things you both like
193
00:09:49,858 --> 00:09:52,229
is a good restaurant,
you should try the Bistro.
194
00:09:52,388 --> 00:09:55,839
I think there's some things on
that menu that you will both like.
195
00:09:55,874 --> 00:09:57,706
- (DOOR CHIME)
- Thank you.
196
00:10:02,014 --> 00:10:05,348
197
00:10:08,654 --> 00:10:10,720
(ELECTRONIC DOOR CHIME)
198
00:10:12,311 --> 00:10:14,055
Hello, Grace.
199
00:10:14,793 --> 00:10:18,495
Hey, it's starting
to look great in here.
200
00:10:18,564 --> 00:10:20,463
It's gonna look even better
when I'm done with it.
201
00:10:20,499 --> 00:10:23,466
Well, then, maybe you can use
what I brought.
202
00:10:23,535 --> 00:10:26,770
My mom thought it would look good in
here, if you have room of course.
203
00:10:27,402 --> 00:10:29,005
I think I dated him in college.
204
00:10:29,074 --> 00:10:31,281
Really? He didn't mention it.
205
00:10:32,407 --> 00:10:34,144
Gargoyles don't kiss and tell.
206
00:10:34,179 --> 00:10:37,047
- (CHUCKLING)
- This will look good in here.
207
00:10:37,887 --> 00:10:40,083
It's a shame all these decorations go up
208
00:10:40,152 --> 00:10:42,485
and then a few days later
they all have to come back down.
209
00:10:42,521 --> 00:10:45,755
Yeah. Halloween never lasts
as long as I wish it would.
210
00:10:45,791 --> 00:10:48,391
Nobody remembers all the hard
work that goes into making
211
00:10:48,460 --> 00:10:51,217
- places like this look so good.
- Yeah.
212
00:10:52,927 --> 00:10:55,966
Unless they did remember...
213
00:11:00,477 --> 00:11:02,138
I assure you, Mrs. Monahan,
214
00:11:02,174 --> 00:11:03,863
there's nothing to worry about.
215
00:11:03,898 --> 00:11:06,343
I've seen the prophecies myself
and there isn't
216
00:11:06,368 --> 00:11:09,503
a word about anything happening
to your parakeet.
217
00:11:09,528 --> 00:11:12,363
No, you're most certainly welcome.
218
00:11:14,987 --> 00:11:17,823
- Mayor Tinsdale?
- Grace, come in!
219
00:11:17,858 --> 00:11:20,090
OK. So, I know it's late
and you're probably
220
00:11:20,158 --> 00:11:22,158
getting ready to go home,
but I had an idea that I want
221
00:11:22,194 --> 00:11:23,431
to talk to you about. I hope it's OK
222
00:11:23,467 --> 00:11:26,162
because I want to get started
on it, like, right away.
223
00:11:26,198 --> 00:11:28,465
Grace, I always have time for you, dear.
224
00:11:28,500 --> 00:11:30,700
So just don't rush. Please, sit.
225
00:11:31,257 --> 00:11:33,593
OK. Thanks.
226
00:11:34,573 --> 00:11:36,539
- (PHONE RINGING)
- Oh, I'm sorry,
227
00:11:36,608 --> 00:11:39,409
I should get that.
Ahem! This is the mayor.
228
00:11:39,478 --> 00:11:43,146
- Oh! It's your mother.
- Hey, Mom.
229
00:11:43,215 --> 00:11:46,783
What?! Outside where?!
230
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:53,256
That's so weird!
How would they have gotten here?
231
00:11:53,292 --> 00:11:55,225
I have no idea.
232
00:11:55,260 --> 00:11:57,294
You know, there's a pond
on the other side
233
00:11:57,362 --> 00:12:00,263
- of those trees maybe.
- Yes, but there's no way
234
00:12:00,299 --> 00:12:02,096
- for them to get up that high.
- (FROGS CROAKING)
235
00:12:02,935 --> 00:12:05,251
You don't think they could
have just fallen out of the sky,
236
00:12:05,286 --> 00:12:08,038
do you? Oh, I really hope not.
237
00:12:08,073 --> 00:12:10,006
(CASSIE): But it is just like
the prophecy said.
238
00:12:10,042 --> 00:12:13,576
- (TINSDALE): Hmm?
- "While others pass to get
239
00:12:13,645 --> 00:12:17,095
their sleep, within the fount,
the creatures leap."
240
00:12:18,179 --> 00:12:20,951
This was one of the things
Cotton Perriwood predicted?
241
00:12:20,986 --> 00:12:24,220
It is, which makes me start to wonder
242
00:12:24,853 --> 00:12:27,223
what's gonna happen next.
243
00:12:32,564 --> 00:12:36,399
This meeting of the Middleton
Small Business Owners Association
244
00:12:36,435 --> 00:12:39,302
will now come to order. Oh, I'm just
245
00:12:39,371 --> 00:12:41,171
so excited I'm gonna break
246
00:12:41,239 --> 00:12:43,473
with parliamentary procedure
and go straight to new business.
247
00:12:43,542 --> 00:12:45,542
All those opposed, say, "Goodbye."
248
00:12:45,577 --> 00:12:48,044
- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
- Now, as you know,
249
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,881
your mayor has found
the Perriwood prophecy.
250
00:12:51,950 --> 00:12:54,818
And though I'm not one to "leap"
to conclusions,
251
00:12:54,853 --> 00:12:57,754
it appears that the first
of these prophecies
252
00:12:57,823 --> 00:13:00,657
has already come true. I'm not counting
253
00:13:00,692 --> 00:13:02,759
those jack o'lantern faces
on the ground,
254
00:13:02,828 --> 00:13:05,061
that was simply due to
Stephanie's clumsiness. Aww!
255
00:13:05,518 --> 00:13:08,098
We've put out a press release
256
00:13:08,133 --> 00:13:10,166
which will bring
even more attention to Middleton
257
00:13:10,202 --> 00:13:12,802
this Halloween,
which means all of our shops
258
00:13:12,838 --> 00:13:15,905
and storefronts need to look
their very best.
259
00:13:15,941 --> 00:13:19,042
And to encourage that,
Miss Grace Russell
260
00:13:19,077 --> 00:13:22,045
- has an idea. Grace.
- Thank you, Madam Mayor.
261
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,048
- Up-up!
- Oh, right. Sorry.
262
00:13:25,647 --> 00:13:27,884
So, I started volunteering
263
00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:30,125
at the children's ward at the hospital,
264
00:13:30,194 --> 00:13:33,804
and the moment that I got there,
I thought,
265
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,759
"Wow, this place would be
266
00:13:35,827 --> 00:13:38,528
"a whole lot more cheery
and child-friendly
267
00:13:38,563 --> 00:13:42,322
if there were toys to make it,
uh, well...
268
00:13:43,442 --> 00:13:45,935
- more cheery and child-friendly."
- (LAUGHTER)
269
00:13:46,517 --> 00:13:49,572
So I thought, what if this year
we held a contest
270
00:13:49,641 --> 00:13:51,941
for the best decorated
business in Middleton?
271
00:13:51,977 --> 00:13:53,414
We can sell ballots,
272
00:13:53,439 --> 00:13:56,579
and anyone who votes can choose
who they like best,
273
00:13:56,615 --> 00:14:00,016
and the money can go
to buying toys for the kids.
274
00:14:00,085 --> 00:14:01,447
So we'd all be the judges?
275
00:14:01,472 --> 00:14:03,787
Exactly. And then on Halloween
night, people can go
276
00:14:03,822 --> 00:14:06,788
from place to place
and mark down their choice,
277
00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:09,459
and we can announce
the winner at Grey House,
278
00:14:09,832 --> 00:14:12,929
- at my mom's party.
- Which would be a good way
279
00:14:12,964 --> 00:14:15,198
for everyone to know who's the best.
280
00:14:15,713 --> 00:14:17,801
It's really more about getting
281
00:14:17,869 --> 00:14:19,298
into the spirit of the holiday and
282
00:14:19,323 --> 00:14:21,204
- helping out the children.
- Thanks, Mom.
283
00:14:21,239 --> 00:14:23,807
- Mm-hmm.
- Well, I think
284
00:14:23,842 --> 00:14:25,809
it's a wonderful idea.
285
00:14:25,844 --> 00:14:28,011
A "Halloween crawl"
through Middleton showing off
286
00:14:28,046 --> 00:14:29,879
the best that this town has to offer.
287
00:14:29,915 --> 00:14:33,316
I just got a big shipment
of decorations at my store,
288
00:14:33,351 --> 00:14:35,418
everything from arachnids to zombies,
289
00:14:35,454 --> 00:14:38,088
- whatever anybody needs.
- Perfect!
290
00:14:38,123 --> 00:14:43,138
So don't hold back. Let's make
Cotton Perriwood proud!
291
00:14:43,173 --> 00:14:45,628
Oh, and speaking of him,
292
00:14:45,697 --> 00:14:47,533
I want everyone
293
00:14:47,558 --> 00:14:50,384
to watch out for anything odd.
294
00:14:50,463 --> 00:14:52,702
(SCREECHING NOISE)
295
00:14:52,737 --> 00:14:54,737
Madam Mayor, if I may...
296
00:14:54,773 --> 00:14:57,040
Sir, this is a business owners meeting;
297
00:14:57,075 --> 00:14:59,209
It's not open to the public.
298
00:14:59,244 --> 00:15:01,244
Um... well, I'm just curious,
299
00:15:01,313 --> 00:15:02,806
you know, when you might start talking
300
00:15:02,831 --> 00:15:06,238
about the specifics
of the Perriwood curse.
301
00:15:06,318 --> 00:15:07,616
Well, the prophecy
302
00:15:07,652 --> 00:15:10,620
wasn't clear about exactly
what that curse is.
303
00:15:11,102 --> 00:15:12,895
You're the Merriwick.
304
00:15:13,624 --> 00:15:16,025
There are actually
a few of us who live here.
305
00:15:16,816 --> 00:15:17,961
Well, then, you must be
306
00:15:17,996 --> 00:15:20,763
especially concerned
about the town splitting apart,
307
00:15:21,195 --> 00:15:22,999
falling into darkness.
308
00:15:23,034 --> 00:15:25,435
(WHISPERING): How did he know?
309
00:15:25,470 --> 00:15:27,470
If these prophecies
are starting to come true,
310
00:15:27,539 --> 00:15:30,240
then this is the year
ominous things happen.
311
00:15:30,913 --> 00:15:34,310
Not just for the Merriwicks,
but for everyone in the town.
312
00:15:35,001 --> 00:15:36,513
Well...
313
00:15:36,538 --> 00:15:37,929
just something to think about
314
00:15:37,954 --> 00:15:41,284
while you get back to your business.
315
00:15:41,353 --> 00:15:45,155
(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)
316
00:15:45,762 --> 00:15:47,490
Does anybody know who that guy was?
317
00:15:47,526 --> 00:15:48,656
It's probably just someone who's curious
318
00:15:48,681 --> 00:15:50,460
about how we celebrate the holiday.
319
00:15:50,495 --> 00:15:53,396
Which is a very good reminder
about all of the other tourists
320
00:15:53,465 --> 00:15:55,999
we're going to have in town
over the next few days.
321
00:15:56,034 --> 00:15:58,668
So, let your Halloween spirit
322
00:15:58,703 --> 00:16:02,438
shine, everybody. Let it shine!
323
00:16:02,474 --> 00:16:03,821
Yay!
324
00:16:05,490 --> 00:16:06,843
Well, don't just sit there,
325
00:16:06,912 --> 00:16:08,811
- let it shine.
- Oh yeah.

(WOMAN GASPING) No, no!
328
00:16:26,598 --> 00:16:28,431
Don't go in here, Jimmy.
If this door closes,
329
00:16:28,466 --> 00:16:32,635
- there's no way to get out. Here you go.
- Thanks!
330
00:16:36,341 --> 00:16:38,551
Dr. Radford should be
ready for you in a moment.
331
00:16:38,576 --> 00:16:40,133
OK.
332
00:16:43,653 --> 00:16:45,348
You can get this prescription filled
333
00:16:45,383 --> 00:16:47,283
at the pharmacy right down the street.
334
00:16:47,319 --> 00:16:49,919
Thank you so much.
I can't believe I forgot
335
00:16:49,955 --> 00:16:51,821
my allergy pills.
I'm just glad we didn't
336
00:16:51,890 --> 00:16:54,490
- forget Pete's heart medication.
- Especially at Halloween
337
00:16:54,526 --> 00:16:57,760
with all those monsters creeping
around, scare a man half to death.
338
00:16:57,796 --> 00:17:00,296
I've got a feeling it's the
monsters that should be worried.
339
00:17:00,332 --> 00:17:02,398
- (LAUGHING)
- Well, hello!
340
00:17:02,434 --> 00:17:05,134
- Did you get everything you need?
- We did.
341
00:17:05,203 --> 00:17:07,036
Now we can take a walk

342
00:17:07,072 --> 00:17:09,772
without me puffing up like a pot pie.
343
00:17:09,841 --> 00:17:12,575
If you get lost in there, you
should call Sam to help get you out.
344
00:17:12,611 --> 00:17:14,089
He's an expert with hay mazes.
345
00:17:14,157 --> 00:17:16,546
I blocked out that entire experience.
346
00:17:16,581 --> 00:17:19,148
- We should go. Thanks again.
- No problem.
347
00:17:19,184 --> 00:17:23,286
Bye. This looks nice!

(DOOR CLOSING)
349
00:17:25,023 --> 00:17:28,524
Sam lets me put up
a few decorations every year.
350
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,279
As long as there are no paper skeletons.
351
00:17:30,304 --> 00:17:31,351
Yeah, he gets distracted
352
00:17:31,396 --> 00:17:33,463
if they don't have
the right number of ribs.
353
00:17:33,498 --> 00:17:35,498
The lung capacity of a human
being needs a certain amount
354
00:17:35,567 --> 00:17:37,123
of negative space to...
355
00:17:38,332 --> 00:17:40,236
- Forget it.
- OK.
356
00:17:40,272 --> 00:17:42,672
Jimmy, let's go weigh you
for your check-up.
357
00:17:42,741 --> 00:17:43,671
OK.
358
00:17:44,576 --> 00:17:47,043
Oh, I put a new lab coat
359
00:17:47,078 --> 00:17:48,951
for you in exam room two.
360
00:17:48,986 --> 00:17:51,447
- There's a stain on the sleeve.
- Really?
361
00:17:51,516 --> 00:17:53,816
- Where?
- Just put on a new one.
362
00:17:53,841 --> 00:17:55,132
You're the boss.
363
00:17:56,225 --> 00:17:57,820
So, we're still going
to the movie tonight?
364
00:17:57,856 --> 00:17:59,989
The original Phantom of the Opera.
365
00:18:00,025 --> 00:18:01,439
Although I was gonna
ask if I could invite
366
00:18:01,464 --> 00:18:02,621
a couple that's staying at Grey House
367
00:18:02,646 --> 00:18:04,606
- to come with.
- Double date?
368
00:18:04,641 --> 00:18:06,963
I just thought they'd enjoy
it. They got married last week.
369
00:18:06,998 --> 00:18:10,833
So you and I could get an idea
what married life would be like.
370
00:18:10,869 --> 00:18:12,969
Um, well, I think it looks pretty good.
371
00:18:13,004 --> 00:18:15,938
Hmm. Sure. Invite them along.
372
00:18:15,974 --> 00:18:18,408
- OK.
- I'll see you tonight.
373
00:18:18,443 --> 00:18:21,411
- Yeah.

- Looking good, Harvey.
- Oh, thanks!
381
00:19:05,336 --> 00:19:08,478
Figured I'd spruce the place up
before too much shopping begins.
382
00:19:08,479 --> 00:19:10,633
Plus, people were starting
to trip over this root...
383
00:19:11,449 --> 00:19:13,549
so this'll at least
keep them away from it.
384
00:19:13,617 --> 00:19:16,385
- Hey, Stephanie.
- Oh! Hi, Cassie!
385
00:19:16,454 --> 00:19:18,101
Is that all you're getting?
386
00:19:18,126 --> 00:19:20,055
Yeah. Just a couple
decorations for home.
387
00:19:20,091 --> 00:19:23,926
I actually hired a professional
to do the Bistro this year,
388
00:19:23,961 --> 00:19:26,089
so this'll probably be
the last you'll see of me.
389
00:19:26,114 --> 00:19:27,162
Well, if anything changes,
390
00:19:27,197 --> 00:19:29,072
I'm the only place in town
that offers one-stop
391
00:19:29,097 --> 00:19:30,761
shopping for all your Halloween needs.
392
00:19:31,070 --> 00:19:33,268
- Yeah, of course.
- Thanks. See ya.

Do you need something inside?
396
00:19:43,547 --> 00:19:46,181
No. Just checking out the competition.
397
00:19:46,217 --> 00:19:48,591
Looks like I've got
my work cut out for me already.
398
00:19:48,660 --> 00:19:50,285
I've been scoping out
what other people are doing
399
00:19:50,321 --> 00:19:52,721
and it seems like you're gonna
be the one that's tough to beat.
400
00:19:52,790 --> 00:19:55,858
- What about Stephanie?
- What about her?
401
00:19:55,926 --> 00:19:59,051
- She's hiring a professional.
- Yeah, so she's not eligible.
402
00:19:59,086 --> 00:20:01,225
I haven't heard
that's part of the rules.
403
00:20:01,939 --> 00:20:04,719
Wait, so I have to compete
against all that and you?
404
00:20:04,788 --> 00:20:07,389
I'm not competing. I'm just
doing it for the fun of it,
405
00:20:07,424 --> 00:20:11,960
not for any award.
But if she were decorating,
406
00:20:11,985 --> 00:20:14,218
that'd be a pretty interesting contest,
407
00:20:14,243 --> 00:20:16,115
between you and Stephanie.
408
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,806
That's a good point.
409
00:20:19,036 --> 00:20:21,136
Beating her would mean
I really was the best.
410
00:20:21,204 --> 00:20:24,957
Whoever wins will have
certainly earned it.
411
00:20:31,548 --> 00:20:34,041
Hi. I'm just gonna grab
that table in the back.
412
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:35,301
Thank you.
413
00:20:37,921 --> 00:20:39,704
Everything looks so good.
414
00:20:39,773 --> 00:20:41,823
Yeah. What are you gonna have?
415
00:20:41,858 --> 00:20:44,159
I think I might just get a hamburger.
416
00:20:44,194 --> 00:20:45,519
A hamburger?
417
00:20:46,687 --> 00:20:50,065
They have a chicken risotto
that sounds amazing.
418
00:20:50,316 --> 00:20:53,034
- Is that what you're gonna have?
- I think so.

00:21:09,483 --> 00:21:11,786
OK, you know what? Forget it,
I'm just gonna have to figure

00:21:11,811 --> 00:21:13,130
something else out on my own.
426
00:21:14,191 --> 00:21:15,657

427
00:21:15,692 --> 00:21:18,159
Oh, I hired this company
428
00:21:18,195 --> 00:21:20,361
to come decorate the bistro and
now they say they can't do it.
429
00:21:20,930 --> 00:21:24,132
That is a shame. What do you
think you're gonna do?
430
00:21:24,558 --> 00:21:26,434
I don't know. I guess I'm gonna have

to put up my decorations from last year.

- That was the second-hand store

where I took my Halloween decorations.
442
00:21:59,926 --> 00:22:02,450
They say they found a pair of
my earrings in one of the boxes.

So, that's good news.
444

Yeah, and apparently I left
a jar of tip money in there too.
445
00:22:06,843 --> 00:22:08,387
I don't know how I'd forget about that.
446

Well, these things
just sometimes happen.

all your old decorations and put

- True.

hunt for ice cream.

00:23:28,711 --> 00:23:30,778
The Phantom of the Opera
was to turn it into a musical?
478
00:23:30,813 --> 00:23:32,613
Because that made it more romantic.
479
00:23:32,649 --> 00:23:34,649
Oh, because people
can't just say how they feel,
480

- they have to sing it?
- Sometimes, words

didn't even have words.

00:25:08,112 --> 00:25:10,889
It's hard to know exactly
what's gonna happen.
513
00:25:10,925 --> 00:25:14,250
But if it did, you're a Merriwick,
514
00:25:14,285 --> 00:25:16,218
so you could stop it, yes?
515
00:25:16,254 --> 00:25:18,518
I'm not always sure how things work.
516
00:25:19,790 --> 00:25:22,958
Well, then, keep at it,
let me know what you learn.
517

- Can I help you?
518

- Help who?
- Oh.
519
00:25:29,233 --> 00:25:32,635
Uh, why, I just wanted to say
I share the mayor's concerns.
520
00:25:33,224 --> 00:25:36,195
The curse could be something
that threatens all of Middleton.
521

- Now, you see?
- He agrees with me.
522
00:25:38,432 --> 00:25:41,600
And who exactly is agreeing with me?
523
00:25:41,635 --> 00:25:44,234
Oh, it's just an interested visitor.
524
00:25:44,979 --> 00:25:47,847
One who's seeing
the predictions come true...
525
00:25:49,070 --> 00:25:51,704
...and is eager to see
what happens next.
526
00:25:57,318 --> 00:25:59,611
- Well, that was rude.
- (DOOR CHIME)
527
00:25:59,612 --> 00:26:02,446
- He didn't even buy anything.
- (DOOR CLOSING)
528
00:26:07,586 --> 00:26:09,753
Alright, so make sure
to bring the ballot
529
00:26:09,789 --> 00:26:12,122
back to Grey House at the end
of the night after checking out
530
00:26:12,191 --> 00:26:14,158
all the decorations.
And you can wear a costume
531
00:26:14,193 --> 00:26:15,724
for Halloween, if you want.
532
00:26:16,181 --> 00:26:17,393
Thanks.

Oh! Hey, George!
Can I get you something?
534
00:26:28,028 --> 00:26:29,807
These cinnamon rolls look pretty good.
535
00:26:29,842 --> 00:26:32,376
Well, it just so happens
536
00:26:32,401 --> 00:26:35,903
that I have a deal today:
free cinnamon roll
537
00:26:35,928 --> 00:26:38,372
for all of my favourite customers.
538
00:26:38,624 --> 00:26:41,009
Just as long as you buy
a ballot from Grace
539
00:26:41,044 --> 00:26:43,408
and promise to think about me
when you're filling it out.
540
00:26:43,476 --> 00:26:45,756
That sounds like a pretty good price.
541

- Hey, Grandpa.

- You want a ballot?
- (GEORGE): Yes, please.
544

- (GRACE): Pay up.
- What was that all about?

Oh, nothing.
Just hoping a potential voter
546

will notice all of the work I've done.
547

Well, I'd say you're in the running
for a solid second-place finish.

00:27:03,375 --> 00:27:06,777
Except I've just started.
In fact, I'm headed
549
00:27:06,812 --> 00:27:08,745
over to Harvey's later,
and I may just buy
550
00:27:08,814 --> 00:27:09,987
that whole place out.
551
00:27:10,683 --> 00:27:13,050
Hey, Grace, could you help me
put these scarecrows up
552
00:27:13,085 --> 00:27:15,519
- on the wall?
- Oh, yeah, sure.
553

Wait a minute, so you have
554

- an assistant, too?
- Whatever it takes to win.
555
00:27:20,159 --> 00:27:23,193
Grace, what are you doing
when you're done here today?
556
00:27:23,262 --> 00:27:25,745
Oh, I was just gonna help
put up some more stuff with Mom.
557
00:27:25,814 --> 00:27:28,065
Why? She doesn't even care
about the competition.
558
00:27:28,100 --> 00:27:31,013
OK, how could somebody
not care about the competition?
559
00:27:31,049 --> 00:27:33,971
Because she likes to make
things look nice for Halloween.
560
00:27:34,039 --> 00:27:36,273
Me too. I just like
to be rewarded for my efforts.
561
00:27:36,308 --> 00:27:38,627
So I'm gonna need your help
today and tomorrow.
562

And I'm gonna need your help
when you're not helping her.

OK. Yeah, you know, I guess
I could help the both of you.

Great! Let's get started.
565

Because these scarecrows
are not gonna hang themselves.

if they did though, right?

out where those bats came from?

No. There doesn't seem to be
an explanation.
572
00:28:08,474 --> 00:28:11,141
Maybe it's just a bunch
of bats with a broken GPS.

I know you don't believe
in this stuff, but there are

a lot of people who are starting
to get scared about that curse.

how anybody can believe
something like that.

they're showing tomorrow night:

Abbott and Costello
meet Frankenstein. Wanna go?
581
00:28:29,729 --> 00:28:31,880
Uh... Abbott and Costello?
582
00:28:31,949 --> 00:28:33,559
Well, I was afraid
you might not be into that.
583
00:28:33,628 --> 00:28:36,567
I always thought those guys were
funny. There's a monster in it.
584
00:28:36,603 --> 00:28:39,047
You know that Frankenstein
was actually the doctor?
585
00:28:39,082 --> 00:28:42,039
I know. I don't think
that guy was board certified.
586
00:28:42,074 --> 00:28:44,241
Even if I wanted to go, my friend Margo
587
00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:46,376
is having a pumpkin-carving
party and she wanted
588
00:28:46,412 --> 00:28:47,793
both of us to go,
589
00:28:48,714 --> 00:28:50,614
but I don't think you'd be so into that.
590
00:28:51,046 --> 00:28:52,950

cutting into something without
a surgical team next to me.

00:28:55,884 --> 00:28:57,254
But it sounds like fun, you should go.
593
00:28:57,928 --> 00:28:59,489
Yeah, you should go to the movie.
594
00:28:59,930 --> 00:29:01,792
- I think I will.
- OK.

Hey. Did you have fun
597
00:29:11,437 --> 00:29:13,236
- on the hay ride?
- Yeah. We did.
598
00:29:13,272 --> 00:29:15,082
Would you like some tea?
599
00:29:15,107 --> 00:29:16,870
- No thanks.
- That'd be great.
600
00:29:17,543 --> 00:29:19,576
You can go up. I'll be up there
601
00:29:19,645 --> 00:29:21,745

are having fun together.

- Does it?
- Cassie's right.
606

Yeah. Brad liked it.

- Awww...

00:29:37,896 --> 00:29:41,231
Well, it looked like you were
into it when I invited you.
610
00:29:41,722 --> 00:29:43,800
I'm sure it did seem like that...
611
00:29:43,836 --> 00:29:46,036
When I heard that The Phantom
of the Opera was playing,
612
00:29:46,105 --> 00:29:48,353
I thought it was the musical.
613
00:29:49,541 --> 00:29:52,976
Thank you. But Brad knew it was
the black and white version,
614
00:29:53,045 --> 00:29:55,679
and I could tell he was really
into movies like that,
615
00:29:55,714 --> 00:29:58,015
so I just pretended like I was too.

618

pretend to be someone you're not
619
00:30:07,092 --> 00:30:09,960
when you're with a man who
obviously loves you very much.

to hang out at Grey House.

I don't know. Just something
to remember this trip by.

694
00:34:09,091 --> 00:34:11,398

to be reminded about Middleton.

We'll take it.
698
00:34:23,846 --> 00:34:26,146
There has to be some more information
699
00:34:26,181 --> 00:34:28,782
about Cotton Perriwood
down here, something to help us

I'll look at them in my office.

new about Middleton's history.

but you'll have to excuse me.

is only a couple of days away

and I don't have everything I need.

- What's going on?
733
00:36:16,425 --> 00:36:19,292
Well, I came back from lunch
and I found this notice
734
00:36:19,361 --> 00:36:21,161
on the door and all of this
blocking the way.
735
00:36:21,230 --> 00:36:24,297
The city is shutting me down.
They said that this root
736
00:36:24,366 --> 00:36:26,633
is too close to the entrance
and it's a hazard.
737
00:36:26,702 --> 00:36:29,703
It's all because of
this old tree that they planted,
738
00:36:29,738 --> 00:36:32,434
and now I can't do business
until they dig this root up,
739
00:36:32,502 --> 00:36:34,808
but they can't do the job
for another two or three days.
740
00:36:34,833 --> 00:36:36,933
- Which is after Halloween.
- Well, it looks
741
00:36:37,012 --> 00:36:40,313
- like the ordinance is clear.
- So there's nothing you can do?

I only have so much power.
743
00:36:43,619 --> 00:36:45,685

- That was written on a t-shirt.
- Yeah.
749
00:36:58,300 --> 00:37:00,288
It's a Perriwood prophecy.
750
00:37:00,356 --> 00:37:02,987
- Now it's happening right here.
- Abigail's right,
751
00:37:03,055 --> 00:37:06,172
which means that Cotton
Perriwood has been right
752
00:37:06,241 --> 00:37:08,608
three times in a row now.
753
00:37:08,644 --> 00:37:10,712

Everything is happening exactly the way
757
00:37:26,675 --> 00:37:28,441
that Cotton Perriwood
said it would, which means
758
00:37:28,477 --> 00:37:31,211
this is the year that the curse
is going to happen too.
759
00:37:31,246 --> 00:37:34,279
Well, the future isn't always
written exactly as it seems.
760
00:37:34,794 --> 00:37:37,584
That's a very good point.
It could be even worse!
761
00:37:37,619 --> 00:37:39,919
No, what I meant
is that the Merriwick women
762
00:37:39,955 --> 00:37:42,021
aren't ones for just
letting things happen.
763
00:37:42,090 --> 00:37:45,091
Does that mean you've figured
out a way to stop the curse?
764
00:37:45,127 --> 00:37:47,927
- I wasn't saying that exactly.
- But what if you could?
765
00:37:47,963 --> 00:37:50,263
What if there was
something in these pages

how to stop the worst things

something that I haven't noticed.

794
00:39:17,789 --> 00:39:19,756
but I think it'd be good for us
795
00:39:19,791 --> 00:39:22,225
to remember that we live
in this town together...
796

...we have history with one another.

And when people walk through our town,
798
00:39:28,567 --> 00:39:31,734
seeing all the decorations,
that is what they should be

853
00:42:13,942 --> 00:42:16,142
- blugh!
- "Blugh"?
854
00:42:16,211 --> 00:42:17,877
That's one of the predictions: "Blugh"?
855
00:42:17,912 --> 00:42:20,146
And here is the most frightening thing
856
00:42:20,171 --> 00:42:23,739
about the last page: it isn't there.
857
00:42:23,818 --> 00:42:26,519
I counted all the lines in the prophecy
858
00:42:26,554 --> 00:42:28,654
and I realised that there's
a pattern to the way
859
00:42:28,690 --> 00:42:31,158
it was written. Now look,
you can see it right here.
860
00:42:31,924 --> 00:42:34,026
Each couplet is part
of a larger section,
861
00:42:34,095 --> 00:42:37,524
and each larger section is 14 lines.
862
00:42:37,593 --> 00:42:40,232
And that's disturbing because...?
863
00:42:40,267 --> 00:42:42,602
The last section only has 11.
864
00:42:43,002 --> 00:42:44,937
So you knew it was incomplete.
865
00:42:44,973 --> 00:42:47,106
- Why didn't you tell me?!
- I didn't want you
866
00:42:47,142 --> 00:42:49,008
to get all worked up about
something we didn't even know.
867
00:42:49,077 --> 00:42:51,744
But now we do know.
Except we don't even know
868
00:42:51,780 --> 00:42:53,423
what we don't even know,
869
00:42:53,448 --> 00:42:55,505
which could be worse
than what we already know!
870
00:42:57,585 --> 00:43:01,242
We need to find the last page
of this prophecy.
871
00:43:01,277 --> 00:43:02,993
And stop the curse
872
00:43:03,028 --> 00:43:05,992
or else everything that we have
come to love about Middleton
873
00:43:06,027 --> 00:43:08,394
could be lost. Forever!
874
00:43:08,463 --> 00:43:11,364

00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:15,234

00:43:26,587 --> 00:43:28,748
- Hello, Stephanie.
- Hey...
877
00:43:28,783 --> 00:43:31,417
I was hoping they were gonna
let Harvey open back up.
878
00:43:31,453 --> 00:43:34,387
Nope. Not for a couple more days.
879
00:43:34,422 --> 00:43:36,422
I still have a whole list of decorations
880
00:43:36,458 --> 00:43:38,291
I need before Halloween.
881
00:43:38,766 --> 00:43:41,527
I'm sure you'll be able to
come up with some creative ways
882
00:43:41,563 --> 00:43:43,696
to use what you already have
883
00:43:43,731 --> 00:43:46,732
and anything else
that you might be able to find.
884
00:43:46,768 --> 00:43:49,502
Well, I guess I'm gonna have to.
885
00:43:50,194 --> 00:43:52,038
Hey, that gargoyle's kind of cool.
886
00:43:52,073 --> 00:43:55,074
Yeah, I brought it over from my mom's.
887
00:43:55,143 --> 00:43:57,243
She's still got
two more just like it at home.
888
00:43:57,312 --> 00:43:59,579
Do you think she'd let me
borrow one for the Bistro?
889
00:44:00,163 --> 00:44:01,681
I'm sure she would.
890
00:44:01,716 --> 00:44:04,183
- I'll bring one over.
- Awesome! Hahaha!
891
00:44:04,252 --> 00:44:07,286
Your work is making the town
look especially festive.
892
00:44:07,322 --> 00:44:09,989
Ah, it's you. Hello.
893
00:44:10,024 --> 00:44:12,225
You know, I think Cotton Perriwood
894
00:44:12,293 --> 00:44:13,860
would be proud to know
895
00:44:13,928 --> 00:44:16,229
that his tradition of decorating
has so endured.
896
00:44:16,264 --> 00:44:19,738
Yeah, it seems like that guy
was really into Halloween.
897
00:44:20,324 --> 00:44:21,634
And with the day approaching,
898
00:44:21,703 --> 00:44:23,603
I'm becoming especially curious
about the predictions
899
00:44:23,705 --> 00:44:27,673
on the undiscovered final page
of the prophecy.
900
00:44:27,742 --> 00:44:30,510
-
- There's a final page?
901
00:44:30,545 --> 00:44:32,528
Oh, there is indeed.
902
00:44:33,214 --> 00:44:35,181
And its discovery could make
903
00:44:35,216 --> 00:44:37,074
all the difference in the world.
904
00:44:40,321 --> 00:44:42,038

907
00:44:50,031 --> 00:44:51,964
Hello, Sam.
908
00:44:52,176 --> 00:44:55,034
Hey. I, uh, saw your light was on,
909
00:44:55,103 --> 00:44:56,482
but what are you doing home?
910
00:44:56,518 --> 00:44:58,671
I thought you'd be
at that pumpkin-carving thing.
911
00:44:58,740 --> 00:45:01,274
Hm, I decided to stay home instead.
912
00:45:01,309 --> 00:45:03,709
- Hmm!
- Aren't you missing
913
00:45:03,745 --> 00:45:06,771
- the Abbott and Costello movie?
- I've seen it before.
914
00:45:08,272 --> 00:45:11,384
- Whatcha working on?
- Oh, Grace made this
915
00:45:11,419 --> 00:45:13,486
when she was little
so I'm trying to make it last
916
00:45:13,521 --> 00:45:17,089
as long as it can. It's always
the last decoration we put up
917
00:45:17,158 --> 00:45:19,892
and then Grace lights the candle.
918
00:45:19,928 --> 00:45:22,695
Hmm. It's a nice tradition.

It's my husband! He grabbed
his chest and he just collapsed!

- I'll call 9-1-1.

Your husband had what's called
a paroxysmal atrial flutter.

His doctor's been concerned
about his heart.
926
00:45:51,725 --> 00:45:53,525
I've already consulted
with him about the episode,
927
00:45:53,593 --> 00:45:55,969
and we agree it doesn't
portend anything worse.
928
00:45:56,581 --> 00:45:58,371
(SIGHING IN RELIEF)
Oh, I'm just glad you were
929
00:45:58,407 --> 00:46:00,807
- at Grey House when it happened.
- We'll keep him here
930
00:46:00,876 --> 00:46:03,610
another night or two but should
be OK pretty soon after that.
931
00:46:03,679 --> 00:46:06,813
- He needs to spend the night?
- He's gonna be fine.
932
00:46:06,849 --> 00:46:08,815
He's in great hands.
933
00:46:08,851 --> 00:46:11,818
It's just that we've hardly
spent any nights apart
934
00:46:11,854 --> 00:46:13,300
since we got married.
935
00:46:13,325 --> 00:46:15,325
Neither of us gets much sleep
when we do.
936
00:46:15,657 --> 00:46:17,624
I could ask the nurse to set up a cot
937
00:46:17,659 --> 00:46:21,595
- in his room if you'd like.
- I know my husband will
938
00:46:21,630 --> 00:46:24,164
- sleep better if I'm with him.
- Well, a good night's rest
939
00:46:24,199 --> 00:46:26,910
- is good for the patient.
- And for the patient's wife.
940
00:46:26,945 --> 00:46:29,266
- (LAUGHING)
- Can I see him?

00:46:29,291 --> 00:46:30,813
Sure, no problem.

943
00:46:43,085 --> 00:46:45,085
- Good morning, Nick.
- Hey.
944
00:46:45,154 --> 00:46:48,622
- Can I help you find something?
- Maybe. I'm still looking
945
00:46:48,690 --> 00:46:51,691
for something to scare
my dad with. No matter what I do
946
00:46:51,727 --> 00:46:54,394
or where I am, he always seems
to be expecting it.
947
00:46:54,463 --> 00:46:56,663
Hmmm, I'm sure
there's at least one thing
948
00:46:56,732 --> 00:47:00,867
your father's isn't expecting.
Something that, if it happened,
949
00:47:00,903 --> 00:47:03,003
he would say it scared him a lot.
950
00:47:03,071 --> 00:47:05,572
Yeah, whatever that is,
he's never admitted it to me.
951
00:47:05,641 --> 00:47:07,183
Hmm...
952
00:47:08,476 --> 00:47:10,561
That is so weird.
953
00:47:11,446 --> 00:47:15,148
- What's it do?
- Turn the crank and see.
954
00:47:17,452 --> 00:47:19,953
(WAILING NOISE)
955
00:47:21,723 --> 00:47:24,191
The early settlers in Middleton believed
956
00:47:24,226 --> 00:47:27,861
that that light and sound
could ward off evil spirits.
957
00:47:27,896 --> 00:47:30,075
That would scare me a little.
958
00:47:30,100 --> 00:47:32,567
You wanna take it and see
if it scares anyone else?
959
00:47:33,084 --> 00:47:34,627
Thanks, Cassie.
960
00:47:36,087 --> 00:47:37,737
Well, hello.
961
00:47:37,806 --> 00:47:41,541
- Did you enjoy Middleton Gardens?
- Eh, it was OK.
962
00:47:41,610 --> 00:47:44,077
But there was a wedding reception there,
963
00:47:44,146 --> 00:47:46,112
and they asked us to join in the toast.
964
00:47:46,148 --> 00:47:48,849
Well, how did it feel
to be veterans in a room
965
00:47:48,917 --> 00:47:51,251
with two people who have been
married less time than you?
966
00:47:51,286 --> 00:47:55,255
Oh, well, we're not really
experts on any of this. Haha!
967
00:47:55,290 --> 00:47:58,033
But just think, one day,
the two of you will be the ones
968
00:47:58,069 --> 00:47:59,893
with years of experience,
969
00:47:59,928 --> 00:48:02,802
and you'll be able to talk about
all the things you've shared.
970
00:48:02,837 --> 00:48:06,333
971
00:48:16,378 --> 00:48:18,745
There. What do you think?
972
00:48:18,814 --> 00:48:21,781
I had to be very creative and
use everything I already had.
973
00:48:21,817 --> 00:48:23,824
I think it looks really good.
974
00:48:23,859 --> 00:48:26,453
And I brought you this guy.
975
00:48:26,488 --> 00:48:29,289
Ohhh, he is gonna
look great... somewhere
976
00:48:29,324 --> 00:48:32,292
- on something.
- We'll make sure
977
00:48:32,327 --> 00:48:34,995
to find the right place
so it's sure to get noticed.
978
00:48:35,063 --> 00:48:38,732
Oh! Hi! Make sure
979
00:48:38,767 --> 00:48:40,934
that you buy a ballot
and vote for the Bistro.
980
00:48:40,969 --> 00:48:43,236
- OK.
- Yes, and any donation
981
00:48:43,272 --> 00:48:45,672
will be used to buy toys
for the kids in the hospital.
982
00:48:45,741 --> 00:48:49,209
- Oh, thank you.
- All the fun starts tomorrow night at 9.
983
00:48:49,244 --> 00:48:51,211
- See ya.
- Thanks.
984
00:48:51,246 --> 00:48:53,647
- It's great.
- I hope you're not
985
00:48:53,682 --> 00:48:55,649
helping Stephanie
more than you're helping me.
986
00:48:55,684 --> 00:48:58,718
- I'm helping anybody who asks.
- Great, because I bought
987
00:48:58,754 --> 00:49:01,051
a bunch of stuff at Harvey's
before it closed and I need
988
00:49:01,086 --> 00:49:04,491
- your help putting it up.
- You bought stuff at Harvey's?
989
00:49:04,526 --> 00:49:07,394
- Mm-hmm.
- So that was thinking ahead.
990
00:49:07,462 --> 00:49:10,297
Maybe. Whatever, I don't know.
Just come by later.
991
00:49:10,332 --> 00:49:12,599
And I'll need you tomorrow as well
992
00:49:12,668 --> 00:49:14,351
up until the very last minute.
993
00:49:15,137 --> 00:49:17,103
Oh, and by the way,
994
00:49:17,139 --> 00:49:20,707
- those flowers are dead.
-
995
00:49:20,732 --> 00:49:22,965
I bought those from you
this morning. Fresh.
996
00:49:23,078 --> 00:49:26,447
It's a shame how some flowers
just don't last.
997
00:49:27,616 --> 00:49:29,241
(SIGHING)
998
00:49:36,832 --> 00:49:38,825
It's so wonderful to get a look
999
00:49:38,894 --> 00:49:40,994
- at all this Middleton history.
- Except I'm not thinking
1000
00:49:41,063 --> 00:49:43,196
about our history;
I'm thinking about the now,
1001
00:49:43,231 --> 00:49:45,265
figuring out where the last page
1002
00:49:45,334 --> 00:49:47,701
of this prophecy might be
and stopping the curse.
1003
00:49:47,736 --> 00:49:51,338
- And what have you found?
- So far, clues but no answers.
1004
00:49:51,373 --> 00:49:54,375
If only this mysterious fellow
could speak to us.
1005
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:56,667
Perhaps tell us some of his secrets.
1006
00:49:56,801 --> 00:49:58,945
I'm sure he would have a lot to say.
1007
00:49:58,981 --> 00:50:01,014
- Excuse me.
- AAAH!
1008
00:50:01,749 --> 00:50:05,018
I was hoping I might be able
to converse with the mayor.
1009
00:50:05,087 --> 00:50:07,220
What? Right now?
1010
00:50:07,255 --> 00:50:10,857
- JARED!
- Madam Mayor?
1011
00:50:11,325 --> 00:50:12,659
What are you doing here?
1012
00:50:12,728 --> 00:50:14,961
Oh, I just wanted
to acquire some information
1013
00:50:15,030 --> 00:50:17,458
about Middleton and share the reason
1014
00:50:17,493 --> 00:50:18,916
for my visit.
1015
00:50:19,368 --> 00:50:22,663
Well, the mayor is not available
1016
00:50:22,698 --> 00:50:25,138
right now. I have you set to meet
1017
00:50:25,173 --> 00:50:27,707
with the town's archivist
to discuss the whereabouts
1018
00:50:27,743 --> 00:50:31,211
of that... missing page.
1019
00:50:31,246 --> 00:50:33,813
- It's important business.
- (JARED): Hmm...
1020
00:50:33,849 --> 00:50:36,850
So I shouldn't stand in your way.
1021
00:50:37,309 --> 00:50:39,786
Well, my apologies
1022
00:50:40,396 --> 00:50:41,988
for the interruption.
1023
00:50:43,925 --> 00:50:46,226
(WHISPERING): Madam Mayor.
1024
00:50:53,769 --> 00:50:56,787
I'll return later at a more, uh...
1025
00:50:57,405 --> 00:50:59,248
appropriate time.
1026
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,515
(CRICKETS CHIRPING)
1027
00:51:08,550 --> 00:51:11,117
(MAN): Thanks for dinner,
that was great.
1028
00:51:11,186 --> 00:51:13,519
Yeah, that's the nice thing
about having you over, Liam,
1029
00:51:13,588 --> 00:51:15,755
- you are easy to please.
- That's true.
1030
00:51:15,824 --> 00:51:18,925
Hey, are you going to Cassie's
Halloween party tomorrow night?
1031
00:51:18,994 --> 00:51:21,322
Yeah of course. Everyone
who's doing the Halloween crawl
1032
00:51:21,347 --> 00:51:22,629
is ending up there when it's over.
1033
00:51:22,664 --> 00:51:24,628
I didn't know you were part
of the competition.
1034
00:51:24,664 --> 00:51:26,924
I'm not. But with
so many people going around
1035
00:51:26,959 --> 00:51:29,560
checking out the decorations,
I thought I'd set up outside
1036
00:51:29,596 --> 00:51:32,448
and sell "bat wings"
and "zombie flesh sliders."
1037
00:51:33,442 --> 00:51:36,242
Uh, chicken wings
and pulled-pork sandwiches.
1038
00:51:36,278 --> 00:51:39,612
- Ah. Sure.
- You're decorating?!
1039
00:51:39,648 --> 00:51:42,048
Oh, Cassie brought that over.
1040
00:51:42,084 --> 00:51:45,251
I don't know if I've ever seen
you put up an actual decoration.
1041
00:51:45,287 --> 00:51:47,153
Yeah. I usually don't.
1042
00:51:47,222 --> 00:51:49,089
But now you have a festive side?
1043
00:51:49,157 --> 00:51:52,625
This stuff means a lot to Cassie.
1044
00:51:53,218 --> 00:51:54,627
But you do know
1045
00:51:54,652 --> 00:51:57,253
they're supposed
to come out of the box, right?
1046
00:51:57,332 --> 00:51:58,798
Yeah, I know how it works.
1047
00:51:58,867 --> 00:52:00,434
See you tomorrow.
1048
00:52:21,310 --> 00:52:23,643
1049
00:52:25,817 --> 00:52:28,851
It's a real nice hospital
you work at there, Doc.
1050
00:52:28,886 --> 00:52:32,655
No offence, this Grey House
place is a whole lot better.
1051
00:52:32,724 --> 00:52:35,591
Just don't let me catch you
running up and down the stairs.
1052
00:52:35,627 --> 00:52:37,965
One more day of rest
and you can have your life back.
1053
00:52:38,034 --> 00:52:40,881
And we'll try not to make too
much noise at the party tonight.
1054
00:52:40,950 --> 00:52:43,199
Oh, don't worry about making any noise.
1055
00:52:43,234 --> 00:52:45,167
- I love the sound of a party.
- We both love
1056
00:52:45,203 --> 00:52:47,877
being in a house full of people.
1057
00:52:47,912 --> 00:52:49,433
I have never known two people
1058
00:52:49,458 --> 00:52:51,364
- that enjoy so many of the same things.
- (MR. STANTON LAUGHING)
1059
00:52:51,442 --> 00:52:53,609
You're really lucky
you found each other.
1060
00:52:53,645 --> 00:52:55,778
(MRS. STANTON): Except
it wasn't always this way.
1061
00:52:55,813 --> 00:52:57,747
- Haha!
- When we first met,
1062
00:52:57,772 --> 00:52:59,812
the two of us disagreed
about everything.
1063
00:52:59,847 --> 00:53:02,685
We hardly could find
anything we ever liked.
1064
00:53:02,754 --> 00:53:05,421
But I was fascinated
1065
00:53:05,456 --> 00:53:07,456
by the way he looked at the world.
1066
00:53:07,492 --> 00:53:10,886
And she was just different
than any girl I'd ever known.
1067
00:53:10,922 --> 00:53:12,461
And 50 years later,
1068
00:53:12,965 --> 00:53:15,920
we've had a lifetime of
discovering new things together.
1069
00:53:15,955 --> 00:53:18,776
Which no one would have ever
predicted right after we met.
1070
00:53:18,845 --> 00:53:21,012
Well, they say that opposites attract.
1071
00:53:21,682 --> 00:53:23,014
Once they're together,
1072
00:53:23,663 --> 00:53:25,516
nothing can pull them apart.
1073
00:53:28,688 --> 00:53:32,990
1074
00:53:38,564 --> 00:53:39,964
- Oh!
- Oh! Oh!
1075
00:53:39,999 --> 00:53:42,233
Haha! Hello, Martha.
1076
00:53:42,268 --> 00:53:45,703
Oh, George, I am so, so sorry.
I've had my mind so focused
1077
00:53:45,738 --> 00:53:47,862
on the Perriwood curse
and how to break it
1078
00:53:47,887 --> 00:53:49,966
that I've hardly noticed anything else.
1079
00:53:50,001 --> 00:53:53,129
That's OK. I'm thinking about the
decorating contest just as much.
1080
00:53:53,154 --> 00:53:56,389
Everyone in town really wants me
to pick them as the winner.
1081
00:53:56,458 --> 00:53:59,258
Now I hope you're not allowing
people to buy your vote.
1082
00:53:59,294 --> 00:54:01,294
George O'Hanrahan can't be bought!
1083
00:54:01,329 --> 00:54:04,697
However, if you'd like
to rent my opinion,
1084
00:54:04,766 --> 00:54:06,630
I'd be willing to negotiate. Haha!
1085
00:54:06,666 --> 00:54:09,035
Well then, I'll see you
tonight. Judging starts
1086
00:54:09,104 --> 00:54:11,270
at the Bistro, and then we hit
the streets from there.
1087
00:54:11,306 --> 00:54:14,040
Oh, don't forget to bring a jacket.
1088
00:54:14,075 --> 00:54:16,042
It looks like it's gonna be
a windy one tonight.
1089
00:54:16,077 --> 00:54:19,455
- Really?
-
1090
00:54:19,490 --> 00:54:22,949
"And the winds of change
shall blow that night..."
1091
00:54:23,018 --> 00:54:25,184
I've read that in the prophecy.
1092
00:54:25,220 --> 00:54:27,754
It's all coming true. (GASPING)
1093
00:54:27,822 --> 00:54:30,890
-
- Happy Halloween!
1094
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:42,168
1095
00:54:49,210 --> 00:54:51,196
(SAM): I called
in Mrs. Garza's prescription,
1096
00:54:51,221 --> 00:54:52,416
but we might need to modify it,
1097
00:54:52,452 --> 00:54:53,704
so that she has more than one refill.
1098
00:54:53,740 --> 00:54:55,776
(WOMAN): I'll let the pharmacy know.
1099
00:54:57,752 --> 00:54:59,852
(SAM): Well, I guess that does it.
1100
00:54:59,921 --> 00:55:02,722
We might as well try to get home
before it starts getting dark.
1101
00:55:05,725 --> 00:55:07,492
Hey, if you do
that Halloween crawl tonight,
1102
00:55:07,527 --> 00:55:10,335
you should stop by Liam's for
some bat wings and zombie flesh.
1103
00:55:10,404 --> 00:55:13,565
Trust me, it's good stuff.
Where'd that come from?
1104
00:55:13,633 --> 00:55:14,833
Oh, Cassie dropped it by
1105
00:55:14,868 --> 00:55:17,068
this morning to add
to the Halloween spirit.
1106
00:55:17,103 --> 00:55:19,070
(SAM SNIGGERING)
You know, you actually did
1107
00:55:19,105 --> 00:55:20,701
a really good job decorating the place.
1108
00:55:20,736 --> 00:55:23,076
Thanks. It was fun putting stuff up.
1109
00:55:23,112 --> 00:55:26,644
1110
00:55:36,556 --> 00:55:40,992
1111
00:55:45,964 --> 00:55:48,198
Ah... there you are!
1112
00:55:48,233 --> 00:55:50,654
I just have a little bit more to do, but
if you want to help me finish, we can put
1113
00:55:50,679 --> 00:55:52,930
your black cat on the mantel and
light the candle.
1114
00:55:52,955 --> 00:55:54,200
I wish I could,
1115
00:55:54,255 --> 00:55:56,539
but I promised Abigail
and Stephanie that I would
1116
00:55:56,575 --> 00:55:59,309
help them out with some
last minute decorations
1117
00:55:59,344 --> 00:56:01,711
- before the judging starts.
- They both really want
1118
00:56:01,780 --> 00:56:04,537
- to win, huh?
- Yeah, a little too much.
1119
00:56:04,606 --> 00:56:06,983
Because nobody is getting along, at all.
1120
00:56:07,514 --> 00:56:10,120
Maybe this town really is cursed.
1121
00:56:10,155 --> 00:56:12,589
-
- I think by the time
1122
00:56:12,624 --> 00:56:14,657
the winner is announced,
the two of them will feel
1123
00:56:14,726 --> 00:56:16,760
like this competition was worth it.
1124
00:56:16,795 --> 00:56:18,628
And how can you be so sure of that?
1125
00:56:18,697 --> 00:56:21,564
Because they have a Merriwick
woman helping them out,
1126
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,406
and that means that there's
always more to the story.
1127
00:56:29,501 --> 00:56:32,201
Hey. Where did you get this?
1128
00:56:32,226 --> 00:56:34,326
Oh, from the attic.
It's a little wobbly, but...
1129
00:56:34,351 --> 00:56:38,102
No, no, it is the perfect size for
what Stephanie needs at the Bistro.
1130
00:56:38,127 --> 00:56:40,444
- Then you should take it.
- Thanks.
1131
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,588
- Oh. Hi, Sam.
- Trick-or-treat!

(WOMEN LAUGHING)
1133
00:56:44,875 --> 00:56:47,247
Oh, that reminds me, don't
give away all the candy.
1134
00:56:47,292 --> 00:56:49,425
Oh, I got some extra just for you.
1135
00:56:50,528 --> 00:56:52,295
- Happy Halloween.
- Mm-hmm.
1136
00:56:52,330 --> 00:56:55,532
You know, the party's not
for a few more hours.
1137
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,801
I know. I'm going
to have dinner with Nick first
1138
00:56:57,836 --> 00:56:59,736
and then I thought I'd come over after.
1139
00:56:59,761 --> 00:57:01,727
- Mhm!
- But first,
1140
00:57:01,807 --> 00:57:03,773
I wanted to come see
if you could use a hand
1141
00:57:04,154 --> 00:57:05,375
putting up decorations.
1142
00:57:05,443 --> 00:57:08,511
Hmm... I always save
the most special ones for last
1143
00:57:08,536 --> 00:57:10,836
in case anyone wants
to join in on the fun.
1144
00:57:10,916 --> 00:57:12,704
Well, then, I'm just in time.

- Hey!

00:57:17,022 --> 00:57:19,322
- What are these?
- Movie tickets.

Abbott and Costello Go To Mars?
1148
00:57:22,093 --> 00:57:24,761
The theater's having
a revival next week.
1149
00:57:24,786 --> 00:57:27,820
I thought we could go together.
I hear they're really funny.
1150
00:57:28,303 --> 00:57:30,099
- Thank you.

- Happy Halloween, everybody!
- (PEOPLE CHEERING)

Now, make sure
1158
00:57:57,529 --> 00:58:00,096
you buy a ballot...
the more judges we have,
1159
00:58:00,165 --> 00:58:02,232
the more toys that we can
buy for the kids...
1160
00:58:02,300 --> 00:58:05,568
and then make your way
through our windy little town
1161
00:58:05,637 --> 00:58:07,570
until we all meet up at Grey House
1162
00:58:07,606 --> 00:58:09,572
for the announcement of the winner.

- I like it.
- (STEPHANIE LAUGHING)
1167
00:58:24,022 --> 00:58:25,788
Interesting choice
1168
00:58:25,824 --> 00:58:27,750
to use dead flowers
instead of fresh ones.
1169
00:58:27,786 --> 00:58:29,766
Yeah, I wanted to do something
different with those,
1170
00:58:29,791 --> 00:58:32,019
but they died right after I got them,
1171
00:58:32,396 --> 00:58:34,063
so I had to improvise
at the last minute.
1172
00:58:34,536 --> 00:58:38,401
Well, they're perfect.
It's all dark and Halloween-y.

- Yeah...
1174
00:58:41,072 --> 00:58:43,039
kind of all worked out.

"Time's up, no more decorating,"

way for one more minute.

guy here and then I'll all done.

where the last page
of this prophecy is, did he?

00:59:34,859 --> 00:59:37,093
- I do too.
- For what?
1190
00:59:37,599 --> 00:59:39,662
Because I think I know what happened
1191
00:59:39,698 --> 00:59:42,187
to the last page
of the Perriwood prophecy.
1192
00:59:43,001 --> 00:59:45,065
If I can find the rest of it.
1193
00:59:47,893 --> 00:59:51,395
1194
01:00:00,180 --> 01:00:03,281
It's too windy to keep
these out there, but I hope
1195
01:00:03,317 --> 01:00:06,451
you all saw how awesome they
looked before I took them in.
1196
01:00:06,487 --> 01:00:09,187
So you can just write Abigail's
Flowers on your ballots
1197
01:00:09,256 --> 01:00:12,824
because there's really no reason
to look anyplace else.
1198
01:00:15,029 --> 01:00:17,229
I've seen these weird
little guys all over town.
1199
01:00:17,264 --> 01:00:20,599
Yeah, these weird
little guys are popular.
1200
01:00:21,437 --> 01:00:23,602
Hey! What are you doing?
1201
01:00:24,312 --> 01:00:25,937
I'm putting together a puzzle.
1202
01:00:26,006 --> 01:00:28,440
And I just need two more pieces.
1203
01:00:28,509 --> 01:00:29,901
Ah!
1204
01:00:38,352 --> 01:00:42,154
-
- (WIND BLOWING)
1205
01:00:44,491 --> 01:00:47,292
Oh, I was just bringing
this up for your husband.
1206
01:00:47,327 --> 01:00:50,896
It's Gabaron oolong tea,
and it's good for circulation
1207
01:00:50,964 --> 01:00:53,832
- and lowering blood pressure.
- It smells delicious.
1208
01:00:53,867 --> 01:00:56,234
It is. And that's why
there's an extra cup for you.
1209
01:00:56,270 --> 01:00:58,601
It's hard to say where my husband got
better care,
1210
01:00:58,626 --> 01:01:00,138
here or at that hospital.
1211
01:01:00,599 --> 01:01:03,208
Well, the doctors and I may offer
different kinds of treatment,
1212
01:01:03,243 --> 01:01:05,641
but we're just as interested
in the patient's well-being.
1213
01:01:05,676 --> 01:01:08,814
- I can take this.
- Let me know if you need more.
1214
01:01:08,882 --> 01:01:10,182
Thanks.
1215
01:01:10,984 --> 01:01:12,350
Liam.
1216
01:01:14,221 --> 01:01:16,154
Hey. Uh... am I the first one here?
1217
01:01:16,190 --> 01:01:19,157
You are, but everyone should
be getting here very soon.
1218
01:01:19,193 --> 01:01:22,160
I had all this food set up outside
the brewery, but it started
1219
01:01:22,196 --> 01:01:24,129
getting too windy, so I thought
I'd bring it here for the party.
1220
01:01:24,164 --> 01:01:27,459
- You can set it up in the dining room.
- OK. Great.
1221
01:01:28,335 --> 01:01:31,303
- George!
- Is it party time?
1222
01:01:31,338 --> 01:01:34,239
- It's just getting started.
- In that case, I'll get my costume on.
1223
01:01:34,274 --> 01:01:37,476
If this curse happens, I want
to be dressed for the occasion.
1224
01:01:37,511 --> 01:01:40,378
OK. Uh, those are for trick or-treaters.
1225
01:01:41,138 --> 01:01:43,582
- You're never too old.
- Ha!
1226
01:01:46,186 --> 01:01:48,887
- (GIRLS): Trick-or-treat!
- Hello!
1227
01:01:48,922 --> 01:01:50,789
Here you go.
1228
01:01:50,858 --> 01:01:53,158
- Happy Halloween.
- (GIRLS): Thank you.
1229
01:01:54,736 --> 01:01:57,596
Jeremy? Hey, this is
Sam Radford, Nick's dad.
1230
01:01:57,631 --> 01:02:00,065
Look, Nick was supposed
to meet me at home
1231
01:02:00,100 --> 01:02:02,234
hours ago and he's still
not here and he's not answering
1232
01:02:02,269 --> 01:02:04,621
his phone. Do you have any idea
where he is?
1233
01:02:05,997 --> 01:02:08,206
Well, when was the last time
you saw him?
1234
01:02:09,710 --> 01:02:12,817
(SIGHING) No, if you hear from him,
1235
01:02:12,885 --> 01:02:15,340
just tell him I'm looking for him, OK?
1236
01:02:16,016 --> 01:02:17,592
Yeah. Thanks.
1237
01:02:18,585 --> 01:02:22,354
(WIND BLOWING)

- (INDISTINCT CHATTER)
-
1239
01:02:27,895 --> 01:02:29,479
Happy Halloween!
1240
01:02:32,733 --> 01:02:34,833
These bat wings taste like chicken.
1241
01:02:34,902 --> 01:02:36,868
That's 'cause they're chicken.
1242
01:02:36,904 --> 01:02:39,371
(WITH A DRACULA ACCENT): If you say so.
1243
01:02:43,944 --> 01:02:46,211
- Hey, Sam.
- Hey.
1244
01:02:46,246 --> 01:02:48,180
- Is something wrong?
- Don't know. You've seen Nick?
1245
01:02:48,215 --> 01:02:50,482
- No. Why?
- He hasn't come home,
1246
01:02:50,517 --> 01:02:52,684
and he usually lets me know where he is.
1247
01:02:52,719 --> 01:02:54,085
I'm sure he's all right.
1248
01:02:54,154 --> 01:02:56,788
I hope so. I still have
a few places to check.
1249
01:02:56,824 --> 01:02:58,262
Do you want me to come with you?
1250
01:02:58,298 --> 01:03:01,493
- Um... No, that's OK.
- Call me when you find him.
1251
01:03:01,528 --> 01:03:02,929
I will.
1252
01:03:10,771 --> 01:03:12,397
Who did you vote for?
1253
01:03:12,773 --> 01:03:14,806
It is a secret ballot.
1254
01:03:15,233 --> 01:03:16,775
You can show me yours.
1255
01:03:17,277 --> 01:03:19,110
It's OK, we're married.
1256
01:03:24,557 --> 01:03:26,953
So, we disagree about that.
1257
01:03:28,055 --> 01:03:30,222
It was really hard to decide.
1258
01:03:31,795 --> 01:03:35,627
1259
01:03:35,662 --> 01:03:37,596
Excuse me! Coming through!
1260
01:03:37,631 --> 01:03:39,331
City business!
1261
01:03:39,758 --> 01:03:42,667
- Hey, what's going on?
- I've figured it out:
1262
01:03:42,703 --> 01:03:44,603
how to stop the curse.
1263
01:03:44,638 --> 01:03:47,606
There are confusing references
to branches and vines
1264
01:03:47,641 --> 01:03:50,635
all connected to the woman that
Cotton Perriwood loved.
1265
01:03:50,660 --> 01:03:51,667
Just as you're connected
1266
01:03:51,712 --> 01:03:53,912
- to her as well.
- Because we're both Merriwicks.
1267
01:03:53,947 --> 01:03:57,382
And when I reread this part,
it all became clear.
1268
01:03:57,417 --> 01:04:01,553
"From the healer's hands,
all hope shall be brought
1269
01:04:01,588 --> 01:04:04,289
as, thus intertwined,
1270
01:04:04,358 --> 01:04:06,524
all secrets be taught."
1271
01:04:06,910 --> 01:04:08,226
And you know what that means?
1272
01:04:08,262 --> 01:04:10,195
It's obvious!
1273
01:04:10,663 --> 01:04:14,499
It's you and Sam... that's
the key to breaking the curse!
1274
01:04:14,534 --> 01:04:18,036
Don't you see?
His are the healer's hands
1275
01:04:18,071 --> 01:04:19,905
which need to be intertwined with yours
1276
01:04:19,973 --> 01:04:23,174
at midnight, the very moment
that Cotton Perriwood
1277
01:04:23,210 --> 01:04:26,211
was banished from Middleton.
Everything is so clear
1278
01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:29,080
and written right here in black and...
1279
01:04:29,149 --> 01:04:32,217
What would you call that? Beige?
Maybe a light tan, I suppose.
1280
01:04:32,252 --> 01:04:33,852
So all we need to do
1281
01:04:33,921 --> 01:04:35,854
is hold hands
and that will break the curse?
1282
01:04:35,923 --> 01:04:37,956
Well, I'm sure it's a lot
more complicated than that,
1283
01:04:37,991 --> 01:04:40,558
but let's start with what
we know and move on from there.
1284
01:04:40,594 --> 01:04:42,961
Where is that handsome man of yours?
1285
01:04:43,030 --> 01:04:45,330
Oh, he went looking for Nick.
1286
01:04:45,824 --> 01:04:47,575
You mean he's not here?
1287
01:04:48,468 --> 01:04:50,235
But he has to be here!
1288
01:04:50,270 --> 01:04:53,171
You two together are
the only hope that Middleton has
1289
01:04:53,206 --> 01:04:56,474
of not splitting apart
and living in darkness and...
1290
01:04:56,709 --> 01:05:00,755
Oh, my goodness, what horrible
things might happen to love?!
1291
01:05:01,315 --> 01:05:03,281
Is everything all right?
The mayor looks troubled.
1292
01:05:03,350 --> 01:05:06,051
Martha is concerned
about the future of this town.
1293
01:05:06,119 --> 01:05:09,054
Because everything
that Cotton Perriwood said
1294
01:05:09,079 --> 01:05:11,728
was going to happen has come true.
1295
01:05:11,806 --> 01:05:13,258
First with the frogs
1296
01:05:13,327 --> 01:05:15,627
and then with those bats.
That's where it all started
1297
01:05:15,662 --> 01:05:17,762
and then it just kept going from there!
1298
01:05:17,798 --> 01:05:20,400
Except I'm the one who started it.
1299
01:05:21,268 --> 01:05:22,434
I'm sorry. What?
1300
01:05:22,469 --> 01:05:26,489
I... put the frogs in the fountain.
1301
01:05:27,274 --> 01:05:28,807
That prophecy was you?!
1302
01:05:28,875 --> 01:05:30,742
And the bats, I did those too.
1303
01:05:30,777 --> 01:05:33,621
Well, why would you do such a thing?!
1304
01:05:33,895 --> 01:05:36,181
I suppose it was for you, Martha.
1305
01:05:36,216 --> 01:05:39,417
To attract some well-deserved
attention to our town.
1306
01:05:42,547 --> 01:05:46,992
Well, news of the prophecy has
been awfully good for tourism.
1307
01:05:47,027 --> 01:05:50,462
Yes, but now that the tourists are here,
who knows what might happen to them?
1308
01:05:50,497 --> 01:05:52,364
Who knows what might
happen to any of us?
1309
01:05:52,432 --> 01:05:56,034
But you already admitted yourself
that all the prophecies weren't real.
1310
01:05:56,103 --> 01:05:57,936
The first two, no,
but I had nothing to do
1311
01:05:57,971 --> 01:06:00,205
with Harvey's store closing down.
1312
01:06:00,273 --> 01:06:02,574
And then these "winds of change"
started blowing.
1313
01:06:02,609 --> 01:06:04,709
I'm starting to wonder
what kinds of horrors are gonna
1314
01:06:04,745 --> 01:06:06,978
- happen next.
- What kinds of horrors...?
1315
01:06:07,047 --> 01:06:08,835
- (PEOPLE EXCLAIMING)
- (MAYOR): OHHH!
1316
01:06:08,860 --> 01:06:10,103
(WOMAN): What was that?
1317
01:06:10,148 --> 01:06:13,518
Everything is OK.
Probably the sub-station
1318
01:06:13,543 --> 01:06:17,411
at the end of our block
shut down because of the wind.
1319
01:06:17,524 --> 01:06:20,759
Yeah, the whole neighbourhood is out.
1320
01:06:20,827 --> 01:06:23,495
Well, at least we have light in here.
1321
01:06:25,198 --> 01:06:27,032
But we've been thrust into darkness,
1322
01:06:27,067 --> 01:06:28,967
just like the curse said.
1323
01:06:29,036 --> 01:06:30,835
Cotton Perriwood said
that this was going to happen,
1324
01:06:30,871 --> 01:06:32,737
and it did, just like he said it would!
1325
01:06:32,806 --> 01:06:35,006
What if that means he's going
to return in the flesh
1326
01:06:35,042 --> 01:06:38,076
- to seek his revenge?!
- (MARTHA GASPING)
1327
01:06:38,645 --> 01:06:40,045
Do these people
1328
01:06:40,113 --> 01:06:42,881
actually believe
something as crazy as this?
1329
01:06:42,949 --> 01:06:44,983
Oh, that's right,
1330
01:06:45,052 --> 01:06:47,862
you haven't lived here that long.

Let's try to be welcoming

01:07:40,432 --> 01:07:44,234
- to the strangers among us.
- I suppose we have to.
1340
01:07:44,269 --> 01:07:47,103
Ah, excuse me, sir,
1341
01:07:47,172 --> 01:07:49,289
of course, anyone is welcome
in our town,
1342
01:07:49,324 --> 01:07:53,576
but why have you come? Here and now?
1343
01:07:53,645 --> 01:07:56,613
Well, for the same reason
everyone else is.
1344
01:07:56,681 --> 01:07:59,983
To experience the magic
of the Middleton Halloween.
1345
01:08:00,727 --> 01:08:03,987
Well, that doesn't sound
like such a horrible curse.

01:08:07,173 --> 01:08:09,039
I'm Wil Fuller.
1348
01:08:09,126 --> 01:08:11,093
Writer for the Midwest Monthly.
1349
01:08:11,263 --> 01:08:13,129
The travel magazine?
1350
01:08:13,164 --> 01:08:16,065
Mmm-hmm. See, I came here
1351
01:08:16,492 --> 01:08:18,134
to write a story
1352
01:08:18,169 --> 01:08:20,303
about the lead-up to the holiday.
1353
01:08:20,372 --> 01:08:21,699
And then the curse happened
1354
01:08:21,735 --> 01:08:25,141
which, well, it made
the story even bigger.
1355
01:08:25,210 --> 01:08:27,696
So I decided to stay for the week.
1356
01:08:27,765 --> 01:08:30,914
Unfortunately, the prophecies
were Jared's doing.
1357
01:08:30,949 --> 01:08:33,116
Well, I will tell you,
1358
01:08:33,141 --> 01:08:35,509
it got me and my editor very interested.
1359
01:08:36,054 --> 01:08:38,380
We had heard
how the spirit of the season
1360
01:08:38,415 --> 01:08:41,768
becomes so fully alive
around here, and it is true.
1361
01:08:42,852 --> 01:08:45,361
- I've seen it everywhere.
- Well, I'm afraid
1362
01:08:45,397 --> 01:08:47,597
the ending to your story could be a bit
1363
01:08:47,632 --> 01:08:50,333
of a let-down. You see,
the prophecies weren't true,
1364
01:08:50,368 --> 01:08:52,127
and I don't know whether
the curse is going to come
1365
01:08:52,152 --> 01:08:55,825
- true either.
- I'm not so sure that's true.
1366
01:08:56,754 --> 01:09:00,184
The darkness and the winds
were predicted to happen.
1367
01:09:00,209 --> 01:09:03,616
And just because someone caused
those other things doesn't mean
1368
01:09:03,641 --> 01:09:05,975
Cotton Perriwood wasn't right
to say that they would.
1369
01:09:06,117 --> 01:09:09,719
A self-fulfilling prophecy
is nonetheless fulfilled.
1370
01:09:10,088 --> 01:09:13,690
I don't think we'll know
what's actually in store for us
1371
01:09:13,725 --> 01:09:15,458
until midnight finally arrives.
1372
01:09:16,302 --> 01:09:19,662
So I hope we're
all together when it does.
1373

(WIND BLOWING)
1374
01:09:28,039 --> 01:09:29,772
- Sam?!
- Hey, Grace.
1375
01:09:29,841 --> 01:09:31,608
- Have you seen Nick?
- No.
1376
01:09:31,643 --> 01:09:34,611
- I've been looking everywhere.
- Uh, I could text him.
1377
01:09:34,646 --> 01:09:36,479
No, I already did, I got no response.
1378
01:09:36,514 --> 01:09:39,048
I don't know where else to go.
Is there somewhere that he might
1379
01:09:39,117 --> 01:09:40,738
hang out that he's never told me about?
1380
01:09:40,807 --> 01:09:43,985
Other than your office,
your house, the Bistro?
1381
01:09:44,053 --> 01:09:46,556
- No, I-I don't know.
- OK. Well, you should get home
1382
01:09:46,591 --> 01:09:48,558
out of this wind. Already seen a
few neighborhoods without power.
1383
01:09:48,593 --> 01:09:50,460
Yeah, I will. I just have
one more place to go.
1384
01:09:50,528 --> 01:09:51,851
- OK.
- Hey, Sam.
1385
01:09:51,876 --> 01:09:53,620
Just let me know if Nick's OK.
1386
01:09:53,665 --> 01:09:56,399
- I will. Thanks.

(WIND BLOWING)
1389
01:10:12,291 --> 01:10:15,218
Hi. I was just seeing how many people
1390
01:10:15,286 --> 01:10:18,087
- were here voting for you.
- Not many.
1391
01:10:18,156 --> 01:10:20,533
I figured they were all over
at the Bistro.
1392
01:10:21,459 --> 01:10:23,828
I had a few that came and went.
1393
01:10:24,462 --> 01:10:27,563
Heard a lot of people saying how
good this place looked though.
1394
01:10:27,599 --> 01:10:29,041
Really?
1395
01:10:29,901 --> 01:10:32,402
Because all I kept hearing
was how great the Bistro looked.
1396
01:10:32,437 --> 01:10:34,303
Ugh, hardly.
1397
01:10:34,372 --> 01:10:37,540
I had some really big ideas,
and then Harvey's shop
1398
01:10:37,575 --> 01:10:39,575
got shut down, and then I didn't
know what to do.
1399
01:10:39,611 --> 01:10:42,912
Yeah, that was sort of my plan.
1400
01:10:42,981 --> 01:10:44,947
Your plan?
1401
01:10:45,817 --> 01:10:48,391
I was the one who reported
Harvey to the city,
1402
01:10:48,416 --> 01:10:51,047
so that no one could buy
anything and you wouldn't be
1403
01:10:51,072 --> 01:10:54,203
- such strong competition.
- But you were
1404
01:10:54,228 --> 01:10:56,529
the one who wanted me
to compete in the first place.
1405
01:10:56,554 --> 01:10:58,554
Because I wanted the award
to mean something,
1406
01:10:58,579 --> 01:11:01,379
so I could... say I beat
the best in town.
1407
01:11:02,158 --> 01:11:04,267
And you thought that was me?
1408
01:11:04,302 --> 01:11:06,269
It's absolutely you.
1409
01:11:06,996 --> 01:11:10,139
Especially after I saw what you
did with those jack o'lanterns.
1410
01:11:10,208 --> 01:11:13,242
That was just sort of
a last minute decision,
1411
01:11:13,278 --> 01:11:16,179
which I sort of stole from you.
1412
01:11:17,006 --> 01:11:18,781
After I saw what you did
with the flower pots
1413
01:11:18,850 --> 01:11:22,151
- on the wall.
-
1414
01:11:22,220 --> 01:11:24,487
So I guess...
1415
01:11:24,556 --> 01:11:28,558
we... inspired each other.
1416
01:11:28,593 --> 01:11:31,894
Yeah, I guess we did.
1417
01:11:34,199 --> 01:11:35,502
You know, I have a couple of cakes
1418
01:11:35,527 --> 01:11:37,667
left over that I was gonna
use to bribe every...
1419
01:11:37,702 --> 01:11:41,003
persuade everyone to vote for me.
1420
01:11:41,039 --> 01:11:44,974
And I guess these flowers
have served their purpose...
1421
01:11:45,009 --> 01:11:48,131
So, what do you think
we should do with everything?
1422
01:11:48,167 --> 01:11:51,848

Are there any more plates?
1425
01:11:57,122 --> 01:12:00,757
Oh, here you go. The city
got that tree root dug up
1426
01:12:00,792 --> 01:12:02,603
right before the wind started,
which means
1427
01:12:02,628 --> 01:12:04,762
I am open for business again.
1428
01:12:05,683 --> 01:12:08,050
Yeah, I should probably
talk to you about why you got
1429
01:12:08,075 --> 01:12:10,075
shut down in the first place.
1430
01:12:10,100 --> 01:12:12,900
Oh. What happened?
Did you put a curse on me?
1431
01:12:12,925 --> 01:12:16,298
- Hahaha!
- Not exactly.
1432
01:12:16,323 --> 01:12:17,855
I'm here!
1433
01:12:18,202 --> 01:12:20,877
- Oh, Grace, you got here.
- Uh, yeah.
1434
01:12:20,912 --> 01:12:23,112
It's a good thing I had
these guys to weigh me down
1435
01:12:23,148 --> 01:12:25,615
or I might just have blown away.
(CHUCKLING)
1436
01:12:25,650 --> 01:12:27,950
Now I just need to match them
with the fourth one.
1437
01:12:28,402 --> 01:12:29,952

1438
01:12:34,372 --> 01:12:35,876
Hello?

- Hello?

- Nick?
- Dad? Dad, I'm in here!

What are you doing?
1443
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:50,540
I've been stuck in there all day.
1444
01:12:50,575 --> 01:12:51,785
- Oh, my God!
- Thanks a lot.
1445
01:12:51,854 --> 01:12:55,064
- Why were you in there?
- I was gonna scare you.
1446
01:12:55,099 --> 01:12:59,196
With this. When you turn it,
it kind of sounds like a ghost.
1447
01:12:59,232 --> 01:13:01,250
You did scare me. I was
looking all over. I thought
1448
01:13:01,319 --> 01:13:03,838
- something might have happened to you.
- I'm OK.
1449
01:13:04,656 --> 01:13:07,523
At least, I had this thing
that Cassie gave me for light.
1450
01:13:07,592 --> 01:13:10,493
Oh, when I... I didn't know where you
were, you weren't answering your phone...

Yeah, my phone's
been dying on me all week.

Well, I didn't know what was
going on, and for a minute,
1453
01:13:14,356 --> 01:13:15,791
I was afraid that...

(SAM SIGHING)

01:13:18,970 --> 01:13:21,005
You were really that worried?
1456
01:13:22,500 --> 01:13:25,868
I'm a dad, that's what I do.
1457
01:13:27,946 --> 01:13:31,390
So there's at least
one thing that scares you.

Oh, hey.

01:14:04,582 --> 01:14:07,617
- What are you reading?
- Oh, just, uh...
1465
01:14:07,652 --> 01:14:10,262
something I found sitting on this table.
1466
01:14:12,129 --> 01:14:16,231
I was thinking about that time
we went to the beach.
1467
01:14:17,695 --> 01:14:19,814
That was the day I realised
I wanted to marry you.
1468
01:14:20,511 --> 01:14:23,178
When I found out we liked
so many of the same things.
1469
01:14:23,268 --> 01:14:24,276
Yeah...
1470
01:14:25,409 --> 01:14:29,011
- except...
- What?
1471
01:14:32,510 --> 01:14:35,413
I wanted you to like me so much.
1472
01:14:36,247 --> 01:14:39,485
So if you liked something, I just said
1473
01:14:39,510 --> 01:14:41,085
that I did, too.
1474
01:14:43,654 --> 01:14:45,381
And then you married me.
1475
01:14:45,990 --> 01:14:47,394
Yeah...
1476
01:14:47,429 --> 01:14:50,845
- And we're getting along great.
- Except...
1477
01:14:54,192 --> 01:14:56,159
...I like new movies.
1478
01:14:56,206 --> 01:14:58,240
And hamburgers.
1479
01:14:58,265 --> 01:15:00,938
And a lot of different things
than you do.
1480
01:15:02,314 --> 01:15:04,817
But I haven't wanted to tell you
1481
01:15:05,576 --> 01:15:07,825
because maybe that'd mean
you weren't in love
1482
01:15:07,850 --> 01:15:09,196
with the real me.
1483
01:15:09,847 --> 01:15:11,293
You just fell in love with the person
1484
01:15:11,318 --> 01:15:13,159
I was pretending to be.
1485
01:15:17,388 --> 01:15:18,831
That day,
1486
01:15:19,524 --> 01:15:21,983
at the beach, there were, like,
1487
01:15:22,008 --> 01:15:24,628
a thousand tiny sand crabs.
1488
01:15:25,163 --> 01:15:27,330
And the tide had gone out,
and they were running around
1489
01:15:27,365 --> 01:15:30,009
on the hot sand, trying to make
their way back to the ocean.
1490
01:15:30,954 --> 01:15:33,087
And there was no way
1491
01:15:33,197 --> 01:15:34,638
they were all gonna make it,
1492
01:15:36,274 --> 01:15:37,850
so you picked one up
1493
01:15:38,409 --> 01:15:40,309
and took it over to the water.
1494
01:15:40,378 --> 01:15:42,589
I didn't want it to just die there.
1495
01:15:42,624 --> 01:15:45,081
- (SOFT MUSIC)
- And then you did it again,
1496
01:15:45,116 --> 01:15:47,616
and a few more times, and I said,
1497
01:15:47,685 --> 01:15:50,154
"Marinda, come on,
you can't save them all."
1498
01:15:50,961 --> 01:15:52,928
And you said, "No,
1499
01:15:53,574 --> 01:15:55,451
"but I can save this one,
1500
01:15:56,060 --> 01:15:57,453
and this one,
1501
01:15:58,062 --> 01:15:59,622
and this one."
1502
01:16:01,972 --> 01:16:04,039
That's the woman I fell in love with.
1503
01:16:05,376 --> 01:16:07,609
And the one I'm falling
in love with more
1504
01:16:07,839 --> 01:16:10,049
every single day.
1505
01:16:17,448 --> 01:16:19,892
I was wondering where you two went.
1506
01:16:21,268 --> 01:16:23,052
I brought you mimosas.
1507
01:16:23,521 --> 01:16:26,789
That's what they were serving
at that wedding reception.
1508
01:16:27,925 --> 01:16:30,593
Were they?
Well, that's the perfect drink
1509
01:16:30,618 --> 01:16:33,886
to toast to your new life together.
1510
01:16:38,896 --> 01:16:40,963
- Thank you.
- Thanks.

01:16:49,180 --> 01:16:51,981
- Did you find Nick?
- I did. Everything's fine.
1515
01:16:52,016 --> 01:16:53,682
He'll be over later.
1516
01:16:53,751 --> 01:16:55,684
He just decided to stay home
and hand out candy.
1517
01:16:55,753 --> 01:16:57,987
I think, mainly,
so he could eat it himself.
1518
01:16:58,022 --> 01:16:59,268
And I brought you this.
1519
01:16:59,293 --> 01:17:01,552
I thought you might want
to box it up until next year.
1520
01:17:01,596 --> 01:17:03,159
Hmm... Except I might
1521
01:17:03,194 --> 01:17:05,062
want to keep that out
just a little bit longer.
1522
01:17:05,603 --> 01:17:07,636
Sam!
1523
01:17:07,899 --> 01:17:10,299
Well, at least,
the two of you are together,
1524
01:17:10,324 --> 01:17:12,489
so maybe we're not all doomed after all.
1525
01:17:12,514 --> 01:17:13,763
Martha is convinced
1526
01:17:13,788 --> 01:17:15,703
that you and I hold the key
to breaking the curse
1527
01:17:15,728 --> 01:17:17,494
and saving all of Middleton.
1528
01:17:17,519 --> 01:17:19,119
Oh, we're still believing that, are we?
1529
01:17:19,243 --> 01:17:23,345
- We're wondering, that's all.
- Oh! There you are!
1530
01:17:23,548 --> 01:17:25,381
Yeah, but I didn't realize
I was so popular.
1531
01:17:25,416 --> 01:17:28,217
Oh, Sam, hi. I was talking
1532
01:17:28,242 --> 01:17:30,375
- to the gargoyle.
- Ah.
1533
01:17:30,488 --> 01:17:32,188
Did you find Nick?
1534
01:17:32,213 --> 01:17:35,748
- I did, he's OK.
- Good. I'll take that.
1535
01:17:35,827 --> 01:17:37,793
1536
01:17:37,829 --> 01:17:39,595
If these go together,
1537
01:17:39,630 --> 01:17:42,131
like I think they should,
we'll finally be able
1538
01:17:42,166 --> 01:17:44,767
- to figure it out.
- Figure what out?
1539
01:17:44,802 --> 01:17:46,936
What Cotton Perriwood really meant
1540
01:17:46,971 --> 01:17:50,139
and how the story ends.
1541
01:17:52,736 --> 01:17:56,037
- (WIND BLOWING)
-
1542
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:03,034
Look at that. It fits!
1543
01:18:03,069 --> 01:18:05,136
But what does it all mean?
1544
01:18:05,956 --> 01:18:07,806
It's the final page of the prophecy.
1545
01:18:08,334 --> 01:18:09,707
Pieced together
1546
01:18:09,743 --> 01:18:11,462
on each of the statues.
1547
01:18:12,057 --> 01:18:13,856
- You found it?
- Yeah.
1548
01:18:13,881 --> 01:18:15,714
They cut it up and used it
to repair the base
1549
01:18:15,739 --> 01:18:18,473
of those gargoyles.
I didn't have all the pieces
1550
01:18:18,498 --> 01:18:20,387
until Sam brought over the last one.
1551
01:18:20,954 --> 01:18:23,986
"From the healer's hands,
all hope will be brought..."
1552
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:26,780
He handed it to a woman
from the Merriwick vine.
1553
01:18:26,999 --> 01:18:28,739
That was Grace
1554
01:18:28,795 --> 01:18:30,481
that that was written about, not you.
1555
01:18:34,034 --> 01:18:36,938
It's a little too dark in here to read.
1556
01:18:36,963 --> 01:18:38,830
Here.
1557
01:18:38,855 --> 01:18:42,189
Thanks. OK.
1558
01:18:42,576 --> 01:18:45,743
"And in that year..."
...the people shall come
1559
01:18:45,779 --> 01:18:47,712
together as never before."
1560
01:18:47,747 --> 01:18:50,481

and all that is good."
1571
01:19:20,247 --> 01:19:22,847
Those weird little guys said all that?
1572
01:19:22,916 --> 01:19:25,583
Actually, Cotton Perriwood
predicted all that,
1573
01:19:25,619 --> 01:19:27,901
including how you two would be together.
1574
01:19:28,806 --> 01:19:31,222
Well, in that case...
1575
01:19:31,258 --> 01:19:34,726
It's so well written, I figure
we should do what it says.
1576
01:19:38,257 --> 01:19:39,764
I don't get it.
1577
01:19:40,134 --> 01:19:42,467
Why would a man who was
kicked out of Middleton
1578
01:19:42,492 --> 01:19:45,827
wish something so good
for the future of this town?
1579
01:19:46,223 --> 01:19:48,706
Because maybe Cotton Perriwood
had one power
1580
01:19:48,731 --> 01:19:52,199
we never even considered: forgiveness.
1581
01:19:52,224 --> 01:19:56,193
(EXCLAMATIONS)
1582
01:19:56,316 --> 01:19:58,383
Just in time to announce
1583
01:19:58,418 --> 01:20:01,252
the winner of the award
for best decorations.
1584
01:20:01,739 --> 01:20:04,022
I guess it doesn't matter who wins.
1585
01:20:04,057 --> 01:20:07,959
- Yeah. Maybe not.
- It doesn't really.
1586
01:20:07,994 --> 01:20:10,395
I told my editor
that it would be impossible
1587
01:20:10,430 --> 01:20:11,981
to pick a single victor
1588
01:20:12,006 --> 01:20:15,600
because everyone in town
showed such expertise.
1589
01:20:15,635 --> 01:20:18,836
So we decided to do
a "best of" and feature
1590
01:20:18,872 --> 01:20:21,539
all of the shops in the town
rather than just one.
1591
01:20:21,574 --> 01:20:23,875
Well, then it's like everybody wins.
1592
01:20:23,910 --> 01:20:25,743
(LAUGHING)
1593
01:20:25,812 --> 01:20:27,412
Wait a minute.
1594
01:20:27,480 --> 01:20:29,714
Does that mean my ballot
doesn't count anymore?
1595
01:20:29,783 --> 01:20:31,382
- Afraid not.
- Sorry, Grandpa.
1596
01:20:31,451 --> 01:20:33,685
Oh. Well,
1597
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:35,353
in that case,
1598
01:20:35,378 --> 01:20:37,611
I guess it's better
no one knows who I picked.

Christmas decorating season
is just around the corner,

01:20:42,462 --> 01:20:44,462
so perhaps you'll all get a chance
1602
01:20:44,497 --> 01:20:46,431
to win me over once again.

thanks to everyone,
so please help yourselves.

(MAN): Hear! Hear! Cheers!
1607
01:20:59,379 --> 01:21:03,147
Did it say anything in
that prophecy about this being
1608
01:21:03,216 --> 01:21:06,417
- the best Halloween party ever?
- Not exactly.
1609
01:21:06,486 --> 01:21:09,020
Well, then, maybe Cotton Perriwood
1610
01:21:09,055 --> 01:21:11,389
didn't know everything after all.

one thing left

01:21:48,561 --> 01:21:50,236
Yeah, my wife and I, we were talking

01:21:50,261 --> 01:21:52,786
about how we hope we could have
as long a marriage as you.
1623
01:21:52,866 --> 01:21:54,699
I've seen how your husband looks at you;

So, uh... another group

01:22:23,730 --> 01:22:26,297
Yeah. I'm pretty happy
they were here, too.
1635
01:22:26,366 --> 01:22:28,299
I guess there's something to be learned
1636
01:22:28,368 --> 01:22:30,134
from a couple that's been
together that long.
1637
01:22:30,203 --> 01:22:33,671
- Yeah. Even the newlyweds.
- (BOTH CHUCKLING)

that you and I are about
to be newlyweds?

the spirit of Halloween
came alive that year.
1643
01:22:46,753 --> 01:22:50,588
In the days that followed,
Middleton was reunited.
1644

Those who had been at odds
1645
01:22:52,258 --> 01:22:54,459
put aside their differences
and began to look
1646
01:22:54,494 --> 01:22:57,128
toward a future filled
with a deeper kind of joy.
1647
01:22:57,163 --> 01:22:59,997
- (INAUDIBLE TALKING)
- The wonder that had always
1648
01:23:00,022 --> 01:23:02,489
been known by those
who appreciated this season
1649
01:23:02,602 --> 01:23:04,936
was shared with those
who were invited to experience
1650
01:23:04,971 --> 01:23:06,840
the magic on their own.
1651
01:23:07,373 --> 01:23:09,440
Hope was offered to those in need
1652
01:23:09,476 --> 01:23:11,509
of healing,
and the thanks they expressed
1653
01:23:11,544 --> 01:23:14,112
while receiving was matched
only by the happiness
1654
01:23:14,137 --> 01:23:16,141
of those who gave the gifts away.
1655
01:23:17,083 --> 01:23:19,450
And the goodness, truth and beauty
1656
01:23:19,475 --> 01:23:23,677
that was forever in their hearts
shined for everyone to see.
