[wind blowing]

[man] It's Halloween.

You know what that means.

Old Sawtooth Jack is gonna rise from the cornfields

and try to make its way to the church before midnight.

It's gotta be stopped.

Kill or be killed.

[leaves rustling]

'Cause see, out here,

where the wind blows fierce

and the dust rolls in...

you gotta give something to get something back.

It's what has to be done.

What's always been done.

But you already know about this.

After all, you grew up here.

You know the story as well as I do.

["Watusi Zombie" playing on car radio]

[radio static]

[radio channels glitching]

["Weird" playing]

-[firecrackers exploding] -[woman screams]

[boy chuckling] Oh, fuck, dude!

Damn these kids!

[Ricks] The reaper

that grows in the field.

The trick

with a heart made of treats.

[school bell rings]

[students chattering]

The butchering nightmare with the saw teeth...

And he's gonna get you.

That's what they always told you.

He's gonna get you...

So, you know you've been got.

[all laughing]

[Ricks] Laugh it up.

No, get it all out now 'cause,

this is not a fucking game!

One of your classmates

will certainly die.

That thing grows all year long in our fields,

only to rise up every Halloween night

with a single, solitary purpose.

To destroy our way of life.

Hey, we're gonna win this thing.

Get the slide.

[projector clicks]

You've all heard the stories

about that one time we failed at our duties.

And that black duster rolled in and destroyed

our crops, our lives.

It must die,

so we can live.

Your sacred duty,

is to take down Sawtooth Jack

before that church bell rings at midnight.

And to get you fat little nancies ready,

we make you hungry for it.

Three days.

No food, no mommy, no nothing.

Locked up alone in your bedrooms

to sit and think long and hard about what you have to do.

And on the night of the Run,

when one of you fulfills your duty,

you all will fill your bellies full.

Now the fun stuff.

Thank you, Officer Ricks.

So...

Who wants to be the coolest kid

with the hottest car in town?

Chevrolet Corvette, 1964.

-Next year's model. - [students exclaim]

[man] Winner of this year's Run

gets the keys to this beautiful tank of gas,

and some traveling around money.

A gift from the Harvester's Guild.

Jim Shepard, last year's winner, he, uh...

he's out in California.

Seeing the world. Now...

[boy 1] The fuck is he doing here?

Oh.

His big brother won,

and now he thinks he's Mr. Westside.

Gets a chickenshit waiver.

-I'm doing it. -[chuckles mockingly]

Who fucking volunteers to do the Run?

Huh? We all...

We don't have a choice.

[boy 2] Some of us do.

They can force us to do the Run,

but no one can force me to kill anything.

Shut up, pinko.

[boy 3] This whole thing is horseshit.

It's rigged.

Sawtooth, too.

You really think that's friggin' real?

Officer Friendly there?

He buses in a boogie inmate

from the Dixie Springs Correctional.

I heard this, too.

He stuffs his britches full of candy,

puts on a big fat pumpkin,

on his woolly head...

and boo.

[boys chuckle]

[boy 4] I saw it.

It's real.

When was this?

When I was nine.

[sighs] My mom, she, uh,

told me not to look outside, no matter what I heard.

But... [sighs]

I looked outside my window anyway.

He was there.

Who?

[wheezing]

-Sawtooth Jack. -[growls]

I saw it.

On my neighbor's porch,

in the old Partridge place,

before they moved to the Westside...

[boy 1] Shut the fuck up.

Beaner.

[all laughing]

What do you know about doin' the Run?

Mexicans ain't even allowed to win.

-Fuck you. -Bullshit, says who?

Whoa, Westside Boy getting mad now.

Get bent.

-[groans] -[Ricks] Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[all clamoring]

You don't belong here.

Come on.

Out!

[rock music playing]

[panting]

[Kelly] The movie already started.

[Richie] No, I know.

I, uh...

You hiding?

What?

No.

I, uh, wanted a snack.

Most kids go to Waltons.

Waltons doesn't have jujubes.

We don't have jujubes.

Right.

[hesitates] You know...

Can I just have a small buttered popcorn?

Riley Blaike is a real asshole.

Who?

On the house.

Really?

Why not?

Betcha.

You're Jim Shepard's brother.

You're the new girl.

I know a lot about your brother, but...

I don't know anything about you.

I'm hard to pin down.

[chuckles]

Sure. [chuckles]

Could I get me a pop, too?

You know what? I've never met someone

from somewhere else before.

Where you from?

[sighs] Another small town.

[Richie scoffs]

You're not going on a trip, are you?

One day.

Are you going to the midnight dance?

I'm not invited.

Why not?

Well, after I win the Run,

I'll make sure you get invited.

You can duck into the movie, if you want. It just started.

Nah. I should really...

Dig you later.

[Kelly sighs]

[Kelly] Be careful out there.

-That girl is trouble. -Who?

The betty you're makin' eyes at.

She's fuckin' bad news.

Burned down Old Man Bagley's barn.

The one we used to throw rocks at?

-Where'd you hear that? -Pat Shanley.

Says she lit up that old mine shaft, too, over on Route 12.

Hey, you better watch yourself, man.

She's got an axe to grind.

This way.

[doorbell tinkling]

Oh.

Hear your brother's up in Santa Clara.

What's he doin' up there?

Seeing the world, I guess.

[storeowner] Well, they got a great varsity team.

When are you gonna play ball, aye?

Not my thing.

[storeowner] Well, if you have half the arm your brother has,

we'd be in good shape. Hey.

You oughta think about it.

You know,

maybe he is up in Santa whatever, I dunno,

who fucking cares?

[bell tolling]

I don't wanna go home.

-Let's breeze outta here. -Hey, so...

What?

It's curfew.

Don't be such a pantywaist, Bud. Come on,

come smoke with us.

But it's curfew.

[scoffs] What? See you guys tomorrow?

[Richie] So that's your big idea?

Come on, man. You should do it.

You know I'm not allowed.

Fuck it. Just 'cause your brother won the Run last year?

Look, Jim's a great guy and all...

-but you're faster. -I know that.

-Tougher. -You know...

Try telling that to my folks, all right?

They worship the ground my brother walks on.

It's embarrassing. [spits]

If I was to make a bet...

Scout's honor?

I'd pick you

over your brother to win the Run any day.

You really mean that?

Really?

Shit, I say we do it together, man, You and me, let's do it.

You know, and then

I can move into your neighborhood again.

We can live next door to each other, just like before.

Like nothing's changed, you know?

[bell tolling in distance]

We better get going.

♪ Gonna push that daydream Up the mountain slope ♪

Dear Lord, bless this food

and grant that we may thankful for thy mercies be.

Amen.

-Amen. -[Donna sighs]

Oh.

This came for you today.

[Richie] This is it?

No letter, no nothing?

I saw Annie last night.

At... At Bible study.

Poor gal. She still holds a flame for Jimmy.

And who can blame her, really?

It's not her fault.

She doesn't have the same kind of opportunities that we do.

You're very lucky.

So I've heard.

-Watch your tone, boy. -[boy] What?

She talks like we weren't living on the East Side just a year ago.

When he comes home for Christmas,

Jimmy will have to set Annie straight.

I'd hate to see that girl get her heart broken, but...

Been doing a lot of thinking lately.

Thinking about what?

Doing the Run, maybe.

Why would you say that?

Jim got to do it. Why can't I?

Because your brother won.

So?

Richie, listen to me.

Everything you see, all this,

the house, the car...

We already have it.

You can't win it again, son.

It's not... It's not fair to the other boys,

-and the other families. -Donna. Donna.

What you want,

it doesn't matter.

And you know this. You know this.

So I need to hear you tell me

why it does not matter what you want?

Tell me right now because why?

-[loudly] Because why? -Because it's against the--

Because it's against the rules, that's right.

Fuck the rules.

-[slaps] -[Donna gasps]

[Dan exhales] I...

I'm the bad kid?

-Sorry. -Is that it?

I'm the bad kid, and Jim's the good kid?

I'm just supposed to be thankful and lucky

for the rest of my life?

For what?

This big house and your shitty Cadillac?

I'm good at things, too, you know.

Please sit down.

I'm smart.

You're my baby boy. [breathing heavily]

Richie, please.

I'm doing the Run.

You can't stop me.

[Dan] Richie.

[Jim] " I looked up one day and...

saw it was one year later and I thought,

'Hey, Baby B must be 18 by now.'

Happy belated.

So, you're probably sore at me

for not writing a proper letter sooner,

and I'm sorry about that.

I can't have you come out right now, not just yet.

All this traveling and seeing the country can get pretty lonely.

I think about coming back home sometimes.

Maybe get hitched to good old Annie, if she'd take me back.

Get a job at the mill. Settle down for good.

Ah, but heck,

I can't come home now with everyone thinking I'm some hero or something.

I know every dumbass kid wants to be tough and prove himself, but...

if I were you,

I'd just stay put."

[breathes heavily]

"Winning the Run ain't everything."

[applause]

"I'll be home soon, I promise you that, okay?

Just be good for now

and watch after Mom and Dad.

They need you."

[Mitch] What the hell are you talking about?

I was wide awake.

I could hear the older boys outside,

hunting for it like dogs.

[Richie] You okay, Bud?

I saw it.

Saw Sawtooth rise up, floating over some kid,

some older kid,

and I was waving at him,

yelling.

Trying to warn him, but...

[Richie] What's the matter with you?

It was too late. He turned around and...

Okay.

So...

What's the plan?

That was my plan.

Get a gun.

[woman over radio] Jer, you there? Over.

Jerry, the burglar alarm at Jarrett's is ringing like crazy.

There's some big commotion going on over there on Main Street.

Someone said they spotted Sawtooth.

That's not fair. That's a gun.

And she's a girl.

And I'm a Negro.

That fair enough for you?

I'll be taking this.

[Richie] Let's go.

[boys] Whoo!

You're looking at this year's winner of the Run.

Any of youse doubt it?

[boy] Yeah! Yeah!

What about you, copper? Think you got what it takes?

Come and get it.

-[squelch] -[all exclaiming]

[boys laughing]

[howling]

[boys laughing]

Front for a rock band in Jersey?

Where'd you hear that?

It's what everyone's saying.

No. No one is saying that.

I heard he got an album coming out.

[chuckling] Teenagers From Mars.

Jim Shepard

is not in a rock band, okay?

He couldn't carry a tune even if he...

[Sawtooth Jack wheezing]

[thuds]

[growling]

[Richie] "HG."

What is that, like, "The Harvester's Guild," maybe?

[Kelly] They own the movie theater.

[Richie] They own everything.

If you wanna leave town, even for a vacation,

I heard you have to ask for the Guild's permission.

[Kelly scoffs] That can't be true.

You're not like other girls around here,

that's for sure.

Let's try this.

What do you know about me?

What have you heard?

[Richie clicks tongue]

People say you're...

[scoffs] Uh...

What?

I don't know.

Pat Shanley says

you burned down Old Man Bagley's barn.

Why would I do that?

I don't know.

That's stupid.

Forget it. It doesn't matter.

What else have you heard?

Pat Shanley also said

you burned down the old mine shaft, too.

Who is this Pat Shanley?

He's got a big mouth.

I mean, is that what people are saying,

that I'm some kind of pyromaniac?

It doesn't matter.

They're lying.

Okay.

Hey, look,

I didn't believe him, okay?

And it doesn't matter, either.

I mean, who cares, right?

This town?

People talk. They like to run their mouths about things they know nothing about.

I know.

Like my brother?

Everybody's got their own opinion

about where he's at, what he's doing.

Like he's some sort of... hero.

But Jim,

he was just my brother, you know?

He's just a normal kid like me. Nothing special.

I mean, he played baseball real good. Sure.

But even after some big game,

he still found time to hang out with me.

Work on cars.

We really liked to work on cars.

We were more like best friends.

Where is he now?

I don't know.

He doesn't want to be found, I guess.

I get that.

[sighs heavily]

My parents are dead.

Car accident.

Last summer.

My dad, he lived here long before I was born.

He never talked about this place,

except how he never wanted to come back.

So...

After the war,

he settled somewhere else.

Met my mom, had me.

That's why I was sent here.

I live with my auntie now and...

[sighs] She don't like me all that much, you know?

She thinks I'm wild.

Wild?

I burned down Old Man Bagley's barn.

Oh.

He called me a nasty name.

He had it coming.

What about the old mine shaft?

That was just for fun.

-Bitchin'. -[both laugh]

[woman over radio] Jer, are you there? Over.

Jerry, I just got a call.

Sawtooth was spotted alone,

hiding over on Oak Street

in front of the Guild's Country Club.

It's getting close to midnight,

so you might want to tip off some of the boys

to his location. Over.

Good work, Edith.

I owe you one.

[chuckles] You betcha.

[owl hooting]

[wind howling]

[suspenseful music playing]

Jesus.

[Kelly groans]

[man] The hell's going on out here?

[groans]

You get your ass back out there. Now!

[Kelly groaning]

[exhales] What the hell happened to you back there?

Stupid. I'm so fucking stupid.

Why didn't you...

All these boys...

-[gun cocking] -[Ricks] Don't fucking move.

Out of the car now.

[Richie] You know somethin', Ricks?

I don't think I care much for this Podunk town anymore.

[Ricks yells] Out!

[softly] Of the car.

[sighs] This guy's stuck in one gear.

You.

[laughs]

Kelly Haines.

I know you.

I knew your mommy and your daddy, too.

Ooh, he had a lip on him, your dad.

He tried to get away by jumping the line, but...

I caught up with him. Hmm?

They thought they could get away, too.

See how that turned out.

[both grunting]

-[gun fires] -[ears ringing]

-[Ricks yells] -[Kelly groans]

[both grunting]

-Go, go! -[Ricks screaming in pain]

[Richie] Who won the Run the year before Jimmy?

Curtis Johnson, of course.

Where is he now?

Somewhere East.

East of Eden,

was the name of the book he wrote, I think.

He's a famous writer now.

That can't be right.

[chuckles softly]

And the year before that?

Bobby Rokos.

What happened to him?

-[growling] -[Donna] He died

in a terrible car accident. You know that.

[Richie] And the year before that?

[Donna] Doug Steckles. You remember.

[Richie] What happened to Doug Steckles?

[Donna] Richie, I don't understand.

Why all the questions?

[Jim] There ain't no stop signs on the black road!

[boys chanting] Jim's the winner! Jim's the winner!

Jim's the winner! Jim's the winner!

[growling]

[chanting continues]

I need you to be honest with me.

Okay.

Don't lie.

Lie?

Did you write the letter?

What letters?

The letter from the other day, did you write that?

The postcards?

Did you pretend you were Jim to get me to stay home?

Mom, please.

[chuckles]

No. I...

Honey, why would I do that?

Please. Come on. Tell me.

-[stabs knife] -[tense music playing]

Mom? What the fuck!

[screeching]

[Ricks] What now?

[Dan] I'm not doing it.

I've had enough.

There's only so much

a man can take before...

Yeah, you're gonna do what needs to be done.

And that's that.

[Dan sighs]

[Ricks scoffs]

This fucking night.

You and your wife, you like living in that big house you're living in?

Hmm?

It's...

not worth it.

Casey.

You remember my brother Casey?

When Casey went missing,

my old man, he marched straight out

into that dust storm to go look for him.

For hours, me and my sister were alone in that house,

the wind rattling at the walls, the windows...

And when that black duster finally passed, days later...

I found my big brother.

He was a hundred yards from the front door, just...

lying there,

bloated...

An arm reaching out for our house.

And when my old man fell to his knees

and lifted his eldest into his arms...

Casey's body, it split open

and sand poured out of his belly.

That freak

made it to the church before midnight

one goddamn time...

and for nine long fuckin' years

this town went a little mad,

and all because of some panty waisted daddy

who didn't have the stones to do what needed to be done.

[Dan groans]

-Are you that guy, Dan? -[groaning]

-Huh? -[crying]

If that thing isn't dead by midnight,

this whole goddamn town

is going straight to Hell,

and your wife and that piece of shit son of yours

-are gonna find themselves... -[groans loudly]

...buried in a cornfield somewhere.

[Dan breathing heavily]

[crying]

-He's your responsibility. -[sighs]

Huh?

Get it done.

[taps car]

[Kelly sighs]

[Kelly] We could sneak out.

While everyone is preoccupied with the Run,

we could leave. Get out. Just...

Run away.

Let's run away, Richie.

No.

Why not? Let's just go.

Get out of this fucking place now.

If he gets to the church in time, then...

There will be no winner...

To sacrifice.

[Kelly sighs]

I'm ending this.

Tonight.

I'm coming with you.

[Edith over radio] Jer, we got a call on a fire

over on Maple Avenue.

The old Shepard house, I think. Over.

I'm on my way. Over and out.

[boys growling and shouting]

[brakes screeching]

[boys whooping]

-Whoa, hey. -[Ricks] Relax.

The hell do you want?

-[breathing heavily] Sawtooth. -Huh?

I just saw him. He's... He's a couple blocks over,

-in front of the Healy place. -[distant explosion]

[chaotic shouting]

Everything's gone nuts tonight.

-Get in the car. -What?

Get in the car!

Where are we going?

Congratulations, kid.

You're this year's big winner.

[boy 1] What the...

[boy 2] Come on. Let's go look.

[Richie] Where'd everyone go?

Do you see anything?

[Kelly] No.

Let's check inside.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Dad?

What are you doing here?

[Dan] Just doing what has to be done.

I know the truth.

Not all of it.

I'm going to save him.

Richie, I need you to listen to--

I'm going to end all of it.

Listen!

There's no winning this thing, son.

If that...

thing...

walks through the church door before midnight, I--

Say his name.

I came here to stop...

Say his name!

I...

[ominous music playing]

[growls]

[Richie] Say his name!

Say. His. Name.

Jim.

Jim.

Your brother.

My son.

I came here to...

To stop my own son. He has to lose. Again...

Knowing what you knew...

Richie, I swear to you,

I didn't know anything at first.

When Jim won the Run,

your mother and I...

We were thrilled.

Then we were brought into the Guild

and we were told the truth.

And we were sworn to secrecy

and that was that. That was that.

I never had a say in any of this, Richie.

None of us did.

-Not me. Not your mother-- -Why didn't we just leave?

Because they would have killed us!

If you're born in this town, you're cursed.

They would have murdered us.

-No one can ever leave, son. -Who?

-They'll... -Who?

[Kelly] Ricks.

The Harvester's Guild.

[Dan] Richie, look at me. Look at me, son.

Tonight, some other boy will win the Run

and we will move on. You understand me?

We will move on.

And our family will no longer have to suffer--

But somebody has to die.

Yes.

But not you.

Someone who's not in my family.

Mom's dead.

Tell me.

What could be worse

than losing your own son?

-Your wife? -[crying]

All for what?

A big house?

Is that it?

Is that all you care about?

You all were willing to sacrifice your own sons

for a fucking Cadillac?

[Dan crying]

You disgust me.

[bell tolling]

Richie, Richie. No. Richie.

Richie. Richie!

Wait!

[suspenseful music playing]

[GROWLS]

It's okay.

Jim, it's okay.

-It's okay, Jim. -[growls]

Come on.

It's me.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Come on.

Come on.

-[gun fires] -[screeches]

No!

[wheezing]

-[Kelly grunting] -[groans]

Goddamn it.

[Richie] Come on. Come on.

[Ricks] Get up.

-Get it done. -[grunts]

[Richie] Come on. Come on. Come on!

-Come on. Come on. Come on. -[wheezing]

Let's go. Come on. Come on.

-[gunshot] -[shrieks loudly]

No. No, no, no, no.

[wheezing]

Me. Who? Me.

I've never thought I'd win the Run.

[Sawtooth Jack wheezing]

No, I can't.

I'll do it!

You don't fucking touch him.

-[trembling] -[Sawtooth Jack wheezing]

[bell tolling]

No. No, no, no.

[sobbing]

I'm sorry.

[gunshot echoes]

[imperceptible cheering]

[all cheering]

Well, I'll be...

Congratulations, kid.

[boy 1] Richie. Richie!

-[boy 2] Damn, Richie! -I'll be taking that.

[boys chanting] Richie's the winner! Richie's the winner!

Richie's the winner! Richie's the winner!

of this unfortunate night.

And move optimistically

into another long and fruitful year

of peace,

prosperity,

and prize crops.

I'll do anything you want. Richie, please.

There ain't no stop signs on the black road.

-[car engine starts] -[all cheering]

[indistinct chatter]

Just doing what has to be done.

What's always been done.

I've been hearing that line of bullshit from you all year long.

You got a backbone all of a sudden?

I let one son down.

I'm not about to let another one down.

Oh, boo-fucking-hoo, Dan.

Stand back.

All you had to do

was keep your kid locked up for one friggin' night.

[laughs] One night!

But you couldn't even manage that, could you now?

I said stand back!

No, your piece of shit son had to go and prove himself

and win the goddamn Run.

And now I have to put the little fucker

-into the ground. -[yells]

[gun fires]

Hey, you weren't followed?

-Not yet. -[laughs]

If I'm not back in 10 minutes...

leave without me.

Richie, no.

Hands up.

Where I can see 'em!

[grunts]

Let me see 'em!

Whoo.

Walk towards me now.

Walk!

Slowly!

Slowly.

Slowly.

[laughs gleefully]

Huh?

Your old man tried to save you.

Get your ass over there.

I said get it!

Go on. Move.

You know, you and me, we never really did get along, did we?

Hmm.

And yet, in spite of it all...

I do respect you, Richie.

[clicks tongue]

I ain't a hard guy.

And that's why this is going to be especially hard--

-[gun fires] -[groans]

You piece of shit.

It's over.

You killed my brother

and all those boys.

And for what?
