(laughing and talking)

- Sorry. - Of course.

- Rick, that was fucking awesome man.

- Wanted to hang out with you guys one more time

before we send our man Rosie off to fame and fortune.

- He's going back to school.

Fame and fortune's next year player.

- That's what I'm sayin'.

- Oh, I just got it.

- You're Roosevelt Smith.

I saw that game with you in it against USC

and you were amazing. - Amazing, yes, we know.

Rosie's been amazing since we were 10.

- Hey, look at the moon.

- Oh, that's a super blood moon.

First one in 50 years.

- What the hell's a super blood moon?

- God, get a weather app.

- Doc, will you just drop it?

You two have been at it all night.

- It's a cool moon.

- Yeah,

I know it is.

- That guitarist was fucking insane.

- Yeah, that drummer was pretty hot too.

What?

I'm just saying.

- Stick to robots, Doc.

- Hey, guys, just ignore him.

I do.

- That usherette, hot.

- Yeah.

- Our Josie has a little crush.

- Always got a crush on someone.

- Rick, it's too far.

Can you carry me?

- Sure, climb on.

- Okay.

(laughing)

- I hate him.

- Wait, wait, wait, Rick?

Since when?

- Two weeks and five days ago.

- What are you talking about?

- We, we hooked up.

- No,

girl.

He's a dog.

You're smarter than that.

- I don't know, he was just,

actually sweet and I don't know, just fun.

- I mean.

- Hey, guys, wait up.

(sighing)

- [Steffen] The 30?

- [Rosie] Stop dude, crazy.

- [Doc] You guys talking about football?

- Oh yeah, I was telling Rosie about this building

my dad just bought.

He's trying to turn it into condos.

But I got a surprise for you guys.

- Oh man, how is your dad doing?

- He's all right.

Guys come here.

- [Rosie] This better be good.

- Oh don't fucking worry.

- So what's the big surprise?

- The building.

- It's big.

- I don't get it.

- My dad wants to make this place into condos

or some bullshit.

I think I can talk him into

letting us open an after hours club.

- In this area?

- Fuckin' A dog, do you have to question everything?

- I'm out here all the time.

- See?

- Stef, it's a real piece of shit.

- Hey, I got some champagne on ice.

Let me show you guys inside, change your minds.

- No one fucks with champagne.

- [Josie] Shit! (groaning)

- What happened? - I don't know,

I broke my ankle or something.

Oh, shit.

- Hey, - Come on.

Rick, no I got her.

- [Rick] No, are you sure?

- [Doc] Don't you have somebody else

you need to be watching?

- [Josie] Guys.

(door rattling)

- [Abby] You're so scary.

- [Steffen] Come on in.

(Abby giggling) - [Abby] It's creepy in here.

Steffen hit the lights.

- [] All right, all right, I'll look for them.

Doc, watch that door.

- [Rosie] Watch out.

- [Abby] You're such a gentleman, thanks.

(intense music)

(rattling)

- What was that sound?

- Probably rats.

- [Rick] Rats?

(shrieking)

- That was right in my ear.

- [Abby] Something ran over my foot.

What? - Oh, I think I got it.

Let's go.

- It's not funny, it's gross.

- [Rick] Come on, let's go check this thing out.

(laughing)

- [Abby] It's not funny, you guys, it's gross.

- It's okay Abby, it was probably nothing.

Just stick with me,

I'll protect you.

- Yeah?

With your big shaft of wood?

- He still has them huh?

- Yeah, my dad's girlfriends.

You know my mom says that he sticks his wrench in them

more than he does her.

- She really says that?

- Yeah, she can be pretty gross.

- Remember when he brought his first one home?

Remember how cool we thought it was?

- Dude, there's no signal here.

(tense music)

- Hey why don't you guys look around, okay?

Pour some drinks

and then I'll tell you what I've been thinking.

Rick you wanna help me pour?

- Sure man.

- Hey, what's all this?

- Oh it's probably just old TV stuff

from that kids show that shot here in the 60's.

(tense music)

- What's up with you and Doc?

- We hooked up a few weeks ago

and now I guess she's mad at me.

- Doc hooked up with you?

- [Rick] Hey.

- Well you're a dog man.

Anybody who knows you knows you're a dog.

Why would she play with that?

- Beats me, I mean, I was surprised too.

We ran into each other at a bar and had some fun.

She invited me home, I went

and we did the deed.

The next day she starts texting me and

I ghosted her.

- You ghosted Doc?

- Yeah, I feel a little bad about that.

- That's like fucking your sister man.

- Not as cool as you may think.

- Jesus Rick. - Whatever.

- Wait, wait,

is this your first time seeing her since that night?

- Yeah, could be.

- Did she know you were bringing a date with you?

- (quietly) Fuck.

- You suck, you truly suck man.

Make this up to her, tonight.

- It might not be as easy as you think bro.

I think she's got a thing for me.

- A thing?

- Yes, a thing.

Hey, she always had a thing for me

and I just never noticed before.

- Hey, listen, we've known each other since grade school.

I want her to be a part of this project.

Make this up to her, tonight.

- Not my fault she doesn't understand

the rules of engagement.

- Listen, shit head, just do it.

- Sure, whatever.

Hey.

- Hey.

- What you got there?

- Look, I found this puppet.

And he looks brand new.

- Yeah, it does look new.

Weird.

- Here take my phone, I wanna snap some photos.

(tapping)

- [Rick] Turn around.

- Is that cute?

(kissing)

Do some dirty ones.

(Rick laughing)

You mean video?

- Okay, okay, enough, enough.

- Hey aren't these things supposed to have

like a little drawstring on the back?

Or a place you could put your hand up their little butt?

- Who's this guy supposed to be?

(mimicking puppet) Hey, might get me fucking haircut.

(laughing)

- He's like a 50's guy, like the Fonz or something.

- Who?

- [Rosie] Shit look, he's got two biddies with him too.

- Hey, maybe those two are a couple

and the Fonz is their best friend.

Like you and me Rose.

(laughing) - Yeah.

- [Josie] Hey,

look,

it's a little cowboy.

- My God, it's the village people.

(laughing)

- [Abby] Hey, who?

- I think these puppets are probably just leftovers

from that kids TV show that shot here during the 60's.

I think it was,

oh no, it was Mr. Jolly and the Handy Dandy Show.

- They named a kids show after a hand job?

(laughing)

No way.

- Grow up Rick.

- It didn't mean that back then.

That Handy Dandy puppet's probably around here somewhere.

He was like the star puppet.

- How do you know all this shit?

- My grandfather knew a producer or something.

- So after all these years,

dad ends up buying the place huh?

- Yeah, must've had an affect on him,

you know, the formative years.

Kind of hoping for one of those

all-in-the-family type of things.

- [Doc] Karma.

- Oh Abby, I think you have that Handy Dandy puppet.

You know my dad used to watch shows live

on this very stage.

- Wasn't there some sick shit that happened here?

I think I remember reading about it online

on some click bait site.

- Yeah, that Mr. Jolly guy hung himself.

- A kids TV show host hung himself here?

- Mm-hmm.

- Where?

Here?

- That's some sick shit.

- Bad karma.

- Oh, no, no, fuck that.

That was like 50 years ago.

All good vibes now, okay?

Listen, my dad bought this place for a reason

and it's my job to make it awesome.

Put those things down, they're probably filthy though.

- Ew.

- [Josie] No, they look great.

- Guys, look around at this space, okay?

With a little hard work and imagination

I think we could make this into something very special.

Now think about it, we'd have drinks,

dancing, live music.

I mean with all this space,

we could have a recording studio in back

and scout new bands.

Up there, there's a control room.

Monitors every inch of this building.

(intense music)

- There's a lot of clubs in town already.

- Right, but very few after hours.

And even fewer for people our age.

- Now let me guess, you want my money?

- Of course Rick.

But I'll throw a pile of cash too man.

- Look man, I don't have money

to be investing in no nightclub.

- But chances are you're gonna make it to the league,

right Rosie?

- I expect so.

- Okay, so once you are, you bring your teammates in here,

people find out that players are hanging out here,

the place will be fucking packed.

We'll have to charge a membership fee

just to keep it exclusive.

- What about me?

I know I just met you guys, but can I get in on this?

- I have been thinking about that.

What do your friends do?

- My friends?

- Yeah, like, what do they do for work?

- Oh, well they're models mainly.

- Excellent.

(laughing)

So like if you make sure a certain amount

of your model friends were in here,

I'm sure we could get you a percentage of the door monthly.

- Well would they have to do anything kinky?

- Only if they were in the kinky mood.

- Yeah, no thanks.

- What?

- Listen, I love you guys and all but you know me,

I have no interest in a straight club

with jocks and models.

- Yeah, yeah, I get that.

I respect it.

- But thanks for asking, it was really sweet of you.

- Mm-hmm, sure.

(gasping)

(intense music)

- What the hell?

- Fuck, we just got the electricity checked this week.

- [Rosie] Check it again brother.

- There we go.

- Okay, this place is creepy as fuck.

Let's just get out of here.

- Oh, hold on a couple of minutes.

I wanna show you guys the offices, okay?

I mean, Josie, I know you're out,

but the rest of you are still in, right?

- Dude, you're like the luckiest guy in the world.

Completely ridiculous shit that should blow up in your face

always seems to work out great for you,

so yeah, I'm definitely in.

- Yeah, you're one lucky fuck, that's for sure.

- I'm in bro.

- All right, this is gonna be fucking epic.

All right, let me show you your office.

- Let me see that bottle.

(Abby giggling)

(tense music)

You don't care about any old offices, do you?

- No.

- Let's go do some exploring of our own.

- [Abby] Okay.

- So, what do you guys think?

- Other than it's straight out of the 80's?

- Oh.

- No, I mean, it's got potential.

I mean, it does.

- I know, right?

No, I think we can make something really cool

out of this place.

- Hey, where's Rick and Abby?

(tense music)

- Now this is what I call kinky.

- A little too kinky.

Let's keep going.

(giggling)

- Okay.

- Nope, come here, come here.

I think I see something.

- If you like this building,

you're gonna love my dad's boat.

- [Abby] Any excuse to be in a bikini.

- [Rick] Hey.

- Get in this.

(dramatic music)

- Let's keep going,

let's keep going. - Okay.

- Oh, what's in here?

Oh yeah. (giggling)

Oh, I can make this work.

- Looks like Steffen's dad's

already gotten himself established.

Nice.

(tense music)

Don't you look tasty.

- Give you any ideas?

- Oh, you give me lots of ideas.

Why don't you come over here

and let me show you what I'm thinking?

(shrieking and giggling)

- [Abby] You're so strong.

- I've got an idea.

- Oh yeah? - Mm-hmm.

Trust me.

- [Abby] I've never done this before.

- [Rick] Yeah, right.

- [Abby] Oh my goodness.

(giggling)

(tense music)

- Rough night?

- Just stupid night.

Or I'm stupid.

I'm probably stupid.

- I doubt that.

(electricity whirring)

(dramatic music)

- We are almost at a point where they can do most anything.

You see Mr. NFL over there?

We've got prototypes in the lab

that's going to make the NLF obsolete.

- [Josie] Weird.

- In every way, everywhere, humans are the problem.

But robotics is gonna change all of that.

We're just taking it out of the hands of the humans.

- Wow,

so, Skynet's going to become self aware

and start a nuclear holocaust

and get rid of the pesky humans?

- Okay, come on, that's a movie.

- You are a scary little shit.

You are.

- Shut up.

No but seriously though, you have no idea.

(intense music)

- Hey, we could go to that control room

and look for Rick.

We could use the-

- Doc, just let it go.

They'll show up at some point.

- So Steph? - Hmm?

- You really think your dad's

just gonna like give you this building?

(laughing)

I mean, he's not the most supportive guy in the world.

- Body's a temple.

- Nope, nope, so far he's told me, "No,"

"what do you know about running a club?"

And, "You got no idea what you're getting yourself into

"with this place."

(Rosie snickering)

- Sounds about right.

Sounds pretty promising.

- What changes his mind?

My mom says it's not,

it's not the club idea,

it's like the building.

- It's this building, the one he just bought, okay.

- Yeah, he hates it.

(moaning)

- What was that?

I'm sure I heard something.

Rick, get this damn hat off of me.

- Uh-huh.

(dramatic music)

- So dad grew up in this neighborhood,

like I was saying before.

And he always used to come to that kids TV show here.

- The one that the puppets were a part of?

- [Steffen] Yeah.

- Must've been a really crappy show.

- Actually, no, there were some child killings

in this neighborhood.

One of my dad's best friends went missing

and was never found.

Yeah, my dad was the last person to see him.

He told people for awhile

that the puppets from that TV show

were the ones that killed his friend.

- Killer puppets?

That's a wild story man.

- No kidding.

- Yeah, it sounds like your dad saw something

and just turned it into something else.

- Probably.

My mom says those puppets come from the Masonic temple,

some archival vault.

Before that, no one really knows.

- You know my mom volunteers at the theater over there.

She does say, in those archives, is some pretty dark shit.

- Yeah, like dark magic.

- Yeah, masons are weird.

My dad once spent years looking for some Masonic artifact.

Yeah, found out about that one from mom

when just out of the blue, for two months,

he was gone in someplace called Kandar.

- Kandar?

What the hell is that?

- Wait, is that a city?

- No, it's not a city.

My mom said it's like a European ruins, or a castle.

- Okay, okay, so what the hell

he need some Masonic artifact for?

- I don't know man.

To amplify something of something.

I really don't know.

- How does your mom know all of this?

- My dad's a mason.

Pretty high up actually.

- Okay, what does he say?

- He says nothing.

(screaming)

- There!

That was not here when we came in.

- You're just high.

- Josie, did you see that puppet when we came in here?

- No, I absolutely did not.

(dramatic music)

(laughing)

- [Rick] Yeah.

(gasping)

(dramatic music)

- Hey baby.

(screaming and shrieking)

Okay boys, let's get this kinky bitch outta here.

(dramatic music)

(Abby crying out)

- Must be some old commercial for the show.

(singing on TV)

- Yeah, that make sense.

- No, okay, that does not make sense.

Let's see, your theory is that this TV

just turned on by itself and a commercial from 50 years ago

just started playing?

- Well, yeah. - Mm-hmm.

- Well, no, that shouldn't happen, for sure.

- Okay, but what's your theory?

- I don't have one, that's my point.

- She doesn't have a theory numb nuts.

That shouldn't happen, ever, period.

(yelling on TV)

(dramatic music)

(muffled gasping)

- I hate these fucking puppets.

What are they?

Nothing but wood and weird.

- Hey, shhh.

Did you guys hear something?

- No.

- [Doc] Maybe.

- Now I'm hearing things.

What do you say we get out of here?

- Yeah, I'm beat.

- [Doc] Now what?

- Yo Stef, this building's got issue bro.

(music playing on TV) ¶ It's the Handy Dandy Show. ¶

¶ Handy Dandy show ¶

- Hey, how is that TV still on with no power?

- Oh, I don't wanna know.

- You saw it, you just saw it move.

- I ain't seen nothing.

(music playing on TV)

¶ That's why it's the Handy Dandy ¶

- Killer ghost puppets. - Funny.

Let's just get out to the hallway

and we'll figure it out from there.

- [Rosie] Yeah, then we'll be able to see out there,

sort of.

- [Doc] Okay well it's clear that something not so good

is happening here.

- Right, so let's get the hell out.

(music playing on TV) ¶ It's the Handy Dandy show ¶

(intense music)

- It looks like the lights are on downstairs.

- Okay, good, let's go that way.

- Hey, hey, hey, slow down.

Remember, the staircase turns.

- [Rosie] Oh shit.

No, I think someone just touched me man.

- Come on, we can just go.

We're almost there.

(Doc shrieking)

- [Josie] Shit, where are the lights?

- [Rosie] Something just grabbed my ankle.

- [Josie] Oh stop.

- [Steffen] What?

- That looks like a trip wire.

- What the fuck?

- This pretty much proves it. Somebody is in here with us.

- [Rosie] This is so fucked.

I mean, who the hell could be in here man?

- Can we even get to the door?

What if this whole place is booby trapped?

- Who the hell would set up a booby trap Stef?

- Don't look at me, my dad just bought this fucking place.

It's not like I got a special connection.

Jesus Rosie.

- Is everyone okay?

Let's just get to the door.

- All right, everyone, slowly.

- Wait, wait, what about Rick and Abby?

- Fuck Rick and Abby.

Let's just get out of here safe.

We'll send someone for them.

- Doc, Doc, please.

- We can't just stand here in a little bunch, okay?

We're an easy target if somebody's in here with us.

- Listen man, this is your hell hole,

you just lead the way bro.

- Okay fine and we gotta get through my dad's cars, okay,

to get to that door.

Just don't fuck up his cars, please.

All right, let's go.

- Doc,

you coming?

- [Steffen] Come on Doc.

(tense music)

- Mr. Jolly, as I live and breathe.

- For now.

You bought the studio.

It's a strange choice.

Sentimental memories?

(light music)

- I spent my whole life preparing to see you again.

Now that I see you, I still can't believe you're alive.

Know that I have come here defended.

- Oh Richard, Richard.

I'm a 200 year old dark magician

with a family of killer puppets.

I'm sure whatever defense you brought,

it's not enough.

So you found the twin.

Hmm, I suppose the jewel is bonded to you hmm?

That's a pity.

I spent a long time looking for this.

But I found the bigger prize.

- You found the Kandarian artifact?

It's real?

In the ruins?

- The traveler's power resides safely with me.

(mysterious music)

- And the dagger?

You didn't find it, did you?

It wasn't with the artifact.

And without it, the artifact's power is useless.

- Oh is that what your research

at the local library told you?

Boy, you're out of your depth.

You trust me, when the time comes, even without the dagger,

the Kandarian artifact will have power enough.

- Did you ever consider how you ended up here,

in Detroit?

I mean, you were in Scotland, London,

the Grand Lodge in New York.

- Have you been putting your little library card

to good use?

- Chicago until the fire.

And it just so happens, the world's largest Masonic lodge

is three blocks from here.

You were drawn here Jolly.

(mysterious music)

This ends tonight.

You will not succeed and you will not survive.

- Really Richard?

You must learn to recognize your betters.

- Yeah, okay, well cut me loose.

Let's see who will win:

the man, or the monster.

- Smart money's always on the monster, son.

Do you know a person's character is fully formed

by the age of eight?

Did you know that?

The age of eight.

How old were you when your friend was attacked?

How old were you when you left him to die

in a dark field?

How old were you, coward, when you ran away,

ran away, ran away, ran away?

- I was eight you fucker!

- Watch your language.

The children.

I had a child who was a coward once.

I'd let him live.

I regret that.

- You killed so many children.

My friends.

I remember every name.

- We did boy.

Gossipy boy.

Naughty boy with your tattling tongue.

So insistent with your stories of killer puppets

that people began to take you seriously.

It was quite annoying.

- My pleasure.

- You made me kill myself.

I had to stage a muerte de scene

to rid myself of the authorities because of you.

- But how?

I talked to the cop who cut you down from the catch rack.

- Illusion, illusion.

All

is illusion.

(mysterious music)

My puppets and I have waited 50 years for this night

to right the scales.

So yes, you are right.

Tonight is the night that we end this, as you say.

- So you're going to use me as a sacrifice

for your blood ritual?

- No,

I need you to watch.

- Watch, why?

- To hurt you.

- You want me watch you kill another child?

- Not just another child, your child.

- Steffen?

- He's here.

- Don't you lay a hand on him you motherfucker!

Okay, look, I'm sorry.

Do what you want to me,

but don't take his life.

- It's already done.

(tense music)

- You killed Steffen?

Steffen is dead?

Answer me!

(gasping)

(dramatic music)

(rodents squeaking)

- [Doc] All right.

Shoot, oh Jesus.

- Hey Rosie, just stay close man.

- Yeah, I think the door's over this way.

- I mean, this is okay.

My eyes are adjusting to it.

I cannot wait to get home.

This day has been fucked.

- I think I found it, I found the door.

(banging)

Somebody must have locked it from the other side.

Fuck!

- Like I said, somebody is definitely in here with us.

- And they definitely don't want us to leave.

- Shit.

What should we do?

(Doc sobbing)

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You don't have to figure this out by yourself, okay?

- Well I sure as shit don't have a plan.

- Well there's windows, can't we just climb out of a window?

- Steel roll down cages Josie, it's fucking Detroit.

- Are you fucking kidding me?

- No, we got them reinforced last week.

- [Rosie] Shit.

(shrieking)

- What the hell is that?

- Guys, that only leaves up, huh?

- Yeah, the roof, let's go.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

This is all wrong.

You honestly think that whoever's sealed the door

and killed the lights just forgot about the roof?

Really?

They just slipped their minds?

- Yeah, maybe.

- We are in trouble Stef, real trouble, all right?

So we need a plan, we need a working plan, all right?

So everyone just shut the fuck up

and let's figure something out, okay?

- Okay.

(dramatic music)

- First, we need weapons.

(dramatic music)

(gasping and shrieking)

(rock music)

(puppet laughing)

- Ladies, don't you look lovely tonight.

- Ah Handy.

- What's the matter sweetheart?

You did real good work girls.

She looks so much better.

Not as pretty as you two of course.

(muffled yelling and sobbing)

What's a matter girly?

(intense music)

(Abby sobbing)

Oh that's just our Mr. Jolly.

He likes to make the kids, the young and the old,

real real happy.

Are you happy model?

(muffled shrieking)

Didn't I hear her say she was a model before?

(giggling)

I don't see it.

She could use some work.

¶ Ya da da da da da da ¶

(puppet laughing)

¶ Ya da da da ¶

(Abby moaning)

¶ Da da da da ¶ (Abby screaming) ¶

Look girls, she's so happy.

She's so happy, she's crying.

(sobbing)

You're supposed to be happy.

Smile for me, smile for your little buddy Handy.

Smile and I'll make it all stop.

(gasping and sobbing)

(clicking tongue)

That was pretty shitty.

Let's see if I can help.

(intense music)

(screaming)

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Well, maybe I can do better on the other side.

(groaning)

(muffled sobbing and yelling)

You know, I'm only doing this for you.

You gotta look your best for them pageants.

How you gonna win without a great smile?

(sobbing)

Done.

(Abby sobbing and yelling)

I think this calls for some selfies.

Say cheese. - Cheese!

- That goes for you too model.

Cheese!

(giggling)

- Wow.

- Eh, whatever.

Sorry to bore you girls, but some people

will just never be happy, no matter how hard you try.

(muffled sobbing)

(intense music)

- Okay you're suggesting that we're being attacked

by kids' show puppets?

- No, Josie, I'm not suggestions

we're being attacked by puppets.

I am suggesting that there might be someone in here

who's seriously fucking with us,

who might control the puppets.

- That's ridiculous okay?

They are made of wood.

There's no mechanisms whatsoever.

- Oh really Doc, then what the fuck

do you think is about to happen?

- I don't know.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Does this car still run?

Let's just use it to ram the door.

- It might, but my dad will fucking kill me.

- Are you kidding me right now?

Stephan, look around us, we are fucked.

- Okay, you guys, we go to the roof,

we get a signal, we call the cops, huh?

- That is not going to work.

- Why, what's your big idea Doc?

- I say that we find Rick and Abby

and we increase our numbers.

- Fuck, I feel like a sitting duck here.

Can we just fucking move?

- [Rosie] Let's. - You good with that Doc?

- Yes, please.

Shit, Josie, are you okay?

(mysterious music)

(laughing)

(rock music)

(laughing)

(dramatic music)

- There they are, see?

I told you.

- Hey, hey, where are you going?

- I'm going to get Rick.

- You have no idea what's down there. Could be a huge trap.

- Let me go Josie.

- Doc, the basement's a goddamn dead end.

- You do not know that it's any more dangerous down there

than it is right here.

- No, we need to do what Rosie and I just said.

- I think our best bet is the cars.

- Plowing through the wall is not gonna work.

- No, we gotta go to the fucking roof.

- I'm done talking about this.

I am going downstairs.

Anybody coming with me?

- It's so stupid to split up right now.

- I'll yell if I need help.

- No one's gonna fucking hear you, it's so huge.

- Yeah.

- Well then I guess that's my problem.

- I'm going to the cars.

- Fucking idiots.

(mysterious music)

- Shit.

You guys?

Of course there's more to this building

Hey you guys?

Hey you guys, I think we're ready to go.

(dark music)

Hey, Rick?

Abby?

(dramatic music)

Abby?

This isn't funny.

Guys it's Doc.

If you hear me, say something.

(dramatic music)

Rick?

Abby?

Goddamn it.

You guys down here?

(rock music)

We're ready to go.

Shit!

- Shit, so where to now?

- I don't know man.

I think there's like a stairway,

might be a door on the left or something.

- What you do mean, you think?

- My dad just bought the fucking place, all right?

If it's not on the left, it'll be up on the right.

- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, this goes up.

All right y'all, we coming this way.

We got big long wrenches, we gonna smash your ass to pieces.

- What the fuck are you doing Rosie?

- I'm scaring them away.

- Good idea.

- Well it's better than your idea.

"I think the exit's on the left."

Please.

- Fuck you man.

Shh, hear that?

(mysterious music)

- Stop it, man.

- Let's get the fuck outta here.

(rock music)

- Shit,

come on.

Come on!

(intense music)

- Ain't gonna start honey.

- I'm not having a conversation with a fucking puppet.

- Oh you'll keep talking to this fucking puppet.

- Yeah well if the guy that's controlling you

wants to come out and face me like a man.

(gasping)

- Nobody controls me bitch.

(dramatic music)

(Doc whimpering and gasping)

- Rick.

(whimpering)

Rick.

(sobbing)

Oh my God.

(sad music)

Rick,

oh my God.

We're in trouble.

(crying loudly)

(whimpering)

(dramatic music)

- Hey, what's up Doc?

(screaming)

- Boy she sure has a set of lungs on her.

Almost as loud as her boyfriend.

- Boyfriend?

What about that blonde we found him boffing in the basement?

Oh my eyes, my eyes, I can't see!

Oh, what have you done to me you crazy bitch?

Ow, it burns, it burns, it burns, it it burns.

(laughing)

That's the funniest fucking thing

anyone's tried on me in years.

I'm made of wood you stupid bitch.

I thought you were the smart one.

That's why I sent for you.

(dramatic music)

- Spray her.

(Doc screaming)

- Go tie her up.

- Oh man, see?

Right where I told ya.

- Yeah, let's hope the roof ain't locked though.

- I think we're gonna make it Rosie.

- Yeah, I hope so.

Yo, I can see the door.

- Let's go for it.

- Let's get the fuck outta here.

(dramatic music)

- Rosie?

Rosie!

Rosie, Rosie, can you hear me?

Shit.

Rosie, shit.

Rosie, Rosie, oh shit, shit.

Oh this is not good.

(gasping)

- There's a lot of you little fuckers, aren't there?

- So what's your plan here Josie?

You gonna come at me?

Beat me into saw dust with that wrench?

You gonna do all of that before my man here

chops up your one good leg?

- Who the fuck's running this show?

What do you want?

- It's all part of the game babe.

You gotta do what the man wants.

We've been waiting a long time for this night.

- When's your puppet master gonna show himself?

- Listen bitch, I already told you,

I got no master.

I work for the man.

He don't control me, I have free puppet will.

You see any strings on me?

Anybody in the shadows got their hand up my ass?

No.

- Did I hit a nerve?

You just got someone fisting your ass all day, don't ya?

You're just somebody's little bitch.

- Fuck you.

- Yippee ki yay what?

Looks like we got ourselves a big one.

(dramatic music)

(engine revving)

(wheels squealing)

- Start you little bastard.

There's no reason for this.

(dramatic music)

(mysterious music)

- [Mr. Jolly] It won't work here.

- Shit.

- Your device,

it won't work here.

- What's with the mask?

Are you the one who's been doing this shit to us tonight?

- I suppose you could say I'm your host.

- My father owns this building,

so I guess you could say you're my trespasser.

- Dear boy,

after all I've done

to make your evening entertaining and jolly.

(mysterious music)

- Don't tell me you're Mr. Jolly?

- At your service.

- You're dead.

- Life is but energy.

Control energy, control life.

- Listen, I don't care who you think you are.

If you're the one who's been pulling this shit tonight,

you're fucked in the head man.

You think this is funny or something?

My friends are freaked out beyond belief you old fuck.

My one friend just broke his goddamn leg in the steps

because of the bullshit you're pulling.

- My puppets love to play.

Look, beautiful.

Blood moon.

Super they say.

An exhilarating view.

You can almost see the temple from here.

- You're a mason?

- Everything means something to a mason.

- You, here tonight,

that means something.

- Buddy, I don't have time to chat, okay?

My friend is in trouble and you seem to have caused it.

I need to go give him some help.

- Where are your other friends?

(mysterious music)

- What?

I don't know.

- That's not good.

A man should know where his friends are.

Bad things could happen.

(dramatic music)

(electricity buzzing)

Good boy.

- Get the fuck off me clown.

You and those fucking puppets have gotten us into this.

You're gonna help me get my friend downstairs,

unlock that fucking door so I can take him to the hospital.

Do you understand?

- Masons are magicians, did you know that?

- Bullshit.

My dad's a mason, he's no magician.

- He's quite rich isn't he?

- Yeah, so what?

He worked hard.

- Greed, it's a nasty vice.

Quite common among dark magicians.

Me,

I'm greedy for life,

yours.

- Are you threatening me?

- You're braver than your father.

(intense music)

(electricity buzzing)

- What are you?

(intense music)

- Control energy,

control life.

Children,

come.

Bring the boy.

It's showtime.

(intense music)

Hello sugar, do we know what day it is?

That's right, it's the Handy Dandy day show, here we go.

(upbeat music)

¶ It's the Handy Dandy show ¶

- Stef?

Stef, you alive man?

(groaning)

Wake the fuck up man.

We're in big fucking trouble.

I mean, some sick shit man.

- All right, everybody ready?

Let's make this a great show.

One of our best.

What do you say?

- Hip hip hooray!

- Hooray.

(whooping)

- Hooray.

- [Speaker Voice] Places please, cue sound.

- Five,

four,

three.

(bell ringing)

- Boys and girls, welcome once again

to the Mr Jolly and Handy Dandy show.

(puppet laughing)

(recording of children cheering)

Have we got a special show for you tonight.

And for our special studio audience Handy?

- That's right Mr. Jolly,

we've been working extra hard tonight.

(puppet laughing)

- Have you been having fun?

- Oh you know it Mr. Jolly.

The gang and I have been getting to know our friends

real well.

- Well speaking of guest, let's meet them right now.

(recording of children cheering)

- What's this, some fucked up Howdy Doody ripoff?

This shit is insane.

Did you see what they did to Rick?

- Handy, why don't you do the honors?

- Certainly Mr. Jolly.

In the tool shed we have the amazing, living, robot lady.

- Doc.

- Holy shit, let her go.

- Oh Handy, we probably should have explained the rules

more fully to our special guests.

Nicky, would you please tell the boy

what's expected of them on our show?

- Don't speak unless you are spoken to.

There are consequences for breaking the rules.

- What consequences?

- What did I just tell you?

(dramatic music)

(muffled yelling)

(electricity pulsing)

- Good boys.

And what would our show be, boys and girls,

without the peanut gallery?

But, I don't see them.

Where could they be?

- We know Mr. Jolly. - We know Mr. Jolly.

We know, we know.

- [Female Puppet] We know Mr. Jolly.

(laughing)

(dramatic music)

- And last but not least, let's meet the newest member

of our puppet family, shall we?

Please welcome

Abby!

(recording of children cheering)

- You're a monster.

(intense music)

(muffled screaming)

- Well boys and girls at home, it's game time.

Let's play, shall we?

Let's meet our first contestant, Rosie.

Hi Rosie, are you having fun?

- Oh yeah, this freak show's a barrel of laughs.

- Well since you're an athletic fellow,

we have an athletic game for you.

So Rosie,

what do you say?

- You killed Josie, freaking cut Rick's throat,

God knows what the hell you're doing to Doc and Abby,

I think that's enough man.

You had your jollies fucker.

Who's ever left living, walk on out of here.

Let us go you sick old fuck.

(recording of audience booing)

(intense music)

- What's the matter Mr. Jolly?

- He's ruining everything.

He's ruining the show.

He's ruining everything, we waited 50 years.

We all waited for this night, this one night.

And now he, he's ruining the show.

He's ruining everything Handy.

- It's a fuck enough.

Let us go.

- He won't play.

He says, "No."

He says, "No."

And Rosie says, "No means no."

- Oh well, I heard that's not what he says

to his little girlfriends.

(children laughing) - No?

- No.

He likes it rough, even if they don't.

In fact, I heard he-

(whispering)

- I have nothing to do with shit like that.

- Oh no?

- Fuck no, they all for themselves.

- 10 of you at once?

- Rosie?

Rosie?

- It's not like that.

- It's exactly like that.

- That's enough, let us go. - That's enough, let us go.

- That's enough, let us go. - That's enough, let us go.

(overlapping puppet voices)

(puppet laughing)

- Oh Handy,

you always know just what to say.

Good boy.

- Thank you Mr. Jolly.

Now, let's play.

(recording of children cheering)

- Yes, right you are Handy.

Let's play the game.

So Rosie, what do you say?

- I'll play your stupid game, jackass.

- Hip hip hooray! - Hip hip hooray!

(puppets cheering)

- Nicky would you explain the rules please to Rosie?

- Certainly boss.

Contestant Rosie, all you have to do

is throw the ping-pong balls into the bucket.

If you miss, you lose.

- What do I lose?

- Your hand.

But, good news, you got two of those.

You got two chances.

- Yeah, what happens if I do that?

- We don't slice Doc.

- How am I supposed to do this game?

I can't stand, remember?

Your freaking puppets took care of that.

- We don't care, use the chair.

- We don't care,

use the chair. - We don't care,

use the chair.

- Shut up.

- Not a very nice guest.

- Hand me the damn ball.

- Music please.

(dramatic music)

Drum roll please.

(drums rolling)

(recording of children cheering)

- Hey!

(dramatic music)

(recording of children cheering)

- Oh.

(dramatic music)

(audience booing)

- [Female Puppet] Uh oh.

(intense music)

- Give the man his prize.

- No, get away from me.

(shouting)

(screaming and groaning)

(dramatic music)

- What a great contestant boys and girls.

Let's give him a hand.

(audience clapping)

(puppet chuckling)

Boys and girls, do we have a surprise for you.

A very special guest for our next game.

(mysterious music)

- Steffen, oh thank God.

- Our last game was so much fun boys and girls,

let's try another.

Steffen, it's your turn.

We're going to ask you a simple geography question

and Richard here will be the judge

of whether you're right or wrong.

If you're right,

then we'll just shoot some gas at Abby.

If you're wrong, we'll break something.

You got that Steffen?

- What?

What are you doing?

Look what you've done to these kids.

- My puppets love to play.

Handy Dandy?

Take it away.

- All right, you remember the rules,

I ask a simple geography question and you have to answer.

The judge will decide if you're correct.

And if so, Abby will get gassed.

If not, we'll, uh, we'll break your arm or something.

Ready?

Steffen, what is the capital city of Montana?

- What the hell?

Boise?

(audience laughing)

- Correct.

- Uh, not really.

It's Helena.

Helena.

But a game's a game and the judge has ruled.

Sugar, hit the gas.

- [Sugar] Yeah.

(audience cheering and whistling)

(intense music)

- That's enough Sugar.

We have more questions.

Mr. Soundbad, could you turn the sound up

on Abby for us please?

(Abby screaming)

Okay, that's enough.

Turn the sound down.

All right Steffen,

let's make this next round more interesting.

She can't take much more gas.

This time Richard, if Steffen is wrong,

we don't break something,

we take something.

Stop this, there's no point.

- Oh yes, there is boys and girls at home.

Of course there's a point, isn't there?

Let's tell Mr. Richard the point.

I need hearts to live and tonight's the only night

I can take them.

You know that very well, otherwise, why are you here?

- To stop you.

- Well congratulations on your raging success.

- The night's not over yet you bastard.

- Almost, it's almost over.

Handy, next question.

- How many square miles are there in Texas?

(intense music)

- No normal person would know that answer.

- [Handy] You have 10 seconds.

- 20 million?

(recording of children laughing)

(intense music)

- Correct. - No, 268,000.

- Oh you truly are

a terrible character Richard.

Sugar, you heard the man.

Gas her.

- [Sugar] Okay Mr. Jolly.

(gas hissing)

(tense music)

- I'm sorry.

- It only took you 10 minutes to become a child killer.

- You killed her, you fucker.

- Well let's make this next round very interesting.

You've known Doc since she was a little girl.

Ah, intellectual Doc, idealistic Doc.

What wonderful things she could do for humanity.

Just think of the changes she could make in this world,

while Steffen,

well Steffen's goal is to open a decadent, high-end,

super model-laden night club.

So, this time,

if Steffen is right,

Doc gets the saw in the tool shed.

And if he's wrong,

we'll take two of his limbs.

- And what if I refuse to judge?

- Oh then we'll take three.

Steffen, at anytime,

you can stop the game

by accepting the consequences and saving your friend.

(tense music)

Doc,

you're his last living friend.

Do you think he'll lose two arms and possibly a leg

to save you?

Or, will he just let her die?

Let's find out.

- You're insane Jolly.

- Last question.

(tense music)

- Who's your grandfather?

- Richard William Crane.

- Correct.

(chain saw buzzing)

(audience clapping and whistling)

(tense music)

- But Steffen is unfortunately not correct.

- What?

Richard William Crane is my father.

There's no doubt about it.

- I think there is.

Your mother was pregnant before she met him.

Oh, did she fail to mention that to you?

Do you know, Richard William Crane is not your true father?

- No.

(audience gasping)

Mr. Jolly is your father.

- No, that's impossible.

- Let them go children.

- Are you sure about that Mr. Jolly?

- There's no escape for Richard now.

He knows that.

The show is over.

- All right boys, you heard him.

Let him loose.

- [Puppet] Okay boss.

Lucky fuckers.

- [Steffen] Is he my grandfather?

- No, can't be.

- Really?

Why do you think your mother came

to so many of my performances?

She hardly missed one.

Beautiful woman, your mother.

- What does that prove?

- Why do you think you escaped all those years ago

when every other boy in that field died?

- I ran, I ran, you said so yourself.

(laughing)

- Look at my puppets.

You really think you could get away from them

if they wanted to catch you?

They let you go.

- That's right, we did.

Some of our best acting ever.

But then again, fooling a kid as dumb as you

was easy as apple pie.

- You murdering little liar.

(electricity buzzing)

(groaning)

(tense music)

- If you're his father, is my dad a magician?

- Oh it's in the blood.

- Is it in mine?

- Let's find out.

(dramatic music)

- Get away from him you fucker.

- Richard, I'm gonna give you another chance

to be a better man than I think you are.

You can walk away,

but Steffen stays here with my puppets and me.

Or he can leave and you can stay.

(tense music)

- Let Steffen go.

I'll stay and play with you and your little monsters.

(tense music)

- How touching.

I bet you didn't know he cared.

- Oh Richard,

really?

(tense music)

You found the dagger.

- Yes, it wasn't where you were looking for it.

It wasn't in the ruins.

I told you I came defended.

- Let me have the dagger.

The power of the Kandarian artifact

won't work for you and you're out of your depth.

- Game changer.

You won't have me or my son.

(audience reacting)

(electricity buzzing)

- Children!

Children! (puppet yelling)

(intense music)

(puppets crying out)

(Handy yelling)

- Children, no, come back!

Come back!

(sobbing)

(dramatic music)

- I want my children.

- I thought I was your child, father!

- You

are nothing to me!

(electricity buzzing)

- Steffen!

You will take no more, no more!

I love you son.

(yelling)

(sad music)
