Hell, no.

Ahh!

What's good?

It's Flip, the dark prince of pranking.

And I've been summoned here

from your collective nightmares--

to take ordinary people,

people who have it coming to them,

and drop them into frightening scenarios of my own creation.

This time, we're dropping them into a creepy basement--

a dank old warehouse--

and a sinister hot dog stand.

Oh, my god.

That took a turn.

Ahh!

All right, y'all.

Let's do better by being badder.

This is "Scare Tactics."

I don't eat.

But if I could, I'd try one of those hot dogs

you humans mess with.

Leftover animal parts encased in intestines?

Delicious.

This is Kristen.

Her high school bestie, Holly, likes to try new things.

But Kristen always has to plan it all out.

Well, today, things will definitely

go according to plan.

My plan.

So we need something super spicy and a hot dog

with ketchup.

Oh, so, yes, we need to go to Wolf Creek.

It's so much fun. - Oh, yeah.

You guys want a drink or anything?

What do they have?

Like a pool outside, an arcade,

and they have these little, like, wands

the kids can go around and, like, play games with.

Oh, cool.

All right. All right.

I'm Clyde.

We got the best hot dogs in the world.

Two dogs coming up.

Have you guys been before? Here?

- To here? No. - Uh-uh, no.

Girl, I've been, like, a million times at this point.

- Oh, really? - Really?

Just like a foodie thing.

- Yeah. - Excuse me, you guys.

So sorry.

Um, I think I'm a few bucks short

for one of these hot dogs.

Would it be possible to, like, just borrow a dollar or two?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. - Is it OK?

Yeah. Yeah. I can get it.

Thank you so much.

I really, really want one of the hot dogs.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

What is up with the hot dogs here?

I feel like it's like-- - My buddy told me about them.

They're blowing up all over social media and stuff.

- Really? OK. Interesting. - Yeah.

It's like life-changing hot dogs.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Thank you. I appreciate you.

- Hi. - How are you?

I'm good. How are you?

Welcome to Big Bellies.

I feel like we need to get a hot dog.

Everyone keeps recommending the hot dog.

Well, it's world-famous hot dogs.

They're better than Chicago, they say.

That's what I hear. That's what I hear.

This will be the best hot dog of your life.

All right, well, yeah, I'll have a hot dog with mustard.

So we want one hot dog with just mustard.

- Um, what do you want? - And what about you?

I'll do the same.

Two hot dogs with just mustard.

- Make it three. - And then--oh, okay.

Make it three hot dogs with just mustard.

Three with just mustard.

We got three dogs with mustard.

Thank you, Marcus.

Marcus is our hot dog chef back there.

Thanks, Marcus.

I love the hat, by the way.

Thank you very much.

It's custom-made.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Well, dig in.

I don't even remember the last time I had a hot dog.

Two bottles of water.

- Thank you. - Thank you so much.

Are you guys enjoying the frankfurters?

Yeah, it's really good.

Well, every one of our hot dogs

is made with passion, love.

I love it.

I love it.

Blood,

sweat, and tears.

My father started this company, actually.

Oh, did he?

Well, unfortunately, we lost him two years ago, so--

- Oh. - Sorry.

I'm sorry to hear that.

He lives on through these hot dogs.

They're really good. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

- Yeah. - Thank you.

That took a turn.

It got dark.

Yeah.

Oh, my god.

- What? - You OK?

- What? - Oh.

- You OK? - No, I think I lost a tooth.

Oh, no. Do you need some napkins?

Oh, will you look?

Yeah.

No, no. You have all your teeth.

It's like a huge tooth in my hot dog.

Whoa.

There's a tooth in there. - I swear to god.

It has to be my--like--

Oh, my god.

It was right there in my hot dog.

Like, are you sure? - Yeah.

- You have-- - I bleed a lot?

I just want, like, a second set of eyes.

Like-- - She doesn't believe me.

No, you're good. Yeah.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Is everything all right?

No, actually, it's not.

I was just eating my hot dog.

I looked down, and there's this massive tooth in it.

Oh, my god.

It must have been in the hot dog.

It's not my tooth.

I don't know.

There's nothing in mine.

OK, well, it's somebody tooth.

Stop eating it. Stop eating it.

Don't eat anymore.

Your kitchen's probably disgusting.

Like, would you even know? - I would know.

I clean my kitchen personally. - Really?

I'll give you $100 if you can find anything--

Oh, $100?

that is not clean in that kitchen.

- Yeah, let's go. - Yeah, I'll come look.

He just said $100.

$100 for what?

Literally why not?

Guys, come.

My money where your mouth is.

It's perfectly clean.

You could eat off of that.

The tiles are--

Look at how clean this refrigerator is.

That looks a little nasty.

Hey, bro, bro, bro, bro, what's that?

What?

That.

Oh, my god.

That's just refrigerator--

What is that?

That's not run-off. What is that?

It's coolant.

It's coolant leak.

It looks--it's, like, probably popsicle juice.

We have beet juice in there.

Beet juice?

What do you use beet juice for? - Smoothies.

Beet juice smoothies.

It's good for digestion, man.

What do you want from me?

What's in the box, dude?

Should we go?

I told you, it's ice and meat in the box.

Ahh!

Get back in there!

Wait. Wait.

You're on "Scare Tactics."

What the--

What?

Oh, my god.

Did you know it?

Holly, did you know?

She set you up!

Oh, my god.

She was in on the whole thing!

Holly is always full of tricks,

but I was not expecting this.

I think I'm gonna have to vet any plans she ever makes

for us in the future, because, like,

a hamburger monster is gonna come out and get me

or something like that.

Oh, yeah.

Every time I text, every time I call,

she knows there's something scheming.

I am unavailable for the rest of time.

Can I ask you a weird question?

Are you hungry?

Mm-hmm.

Oh, thank god.

What's all this noise about crazy cat ladies?

Here, kitty, kitty.

For me, they're sane as hell.

They've got a companion that doesn't need

constant validation and attention.

Kevin here does need attention.

He's a veterinarian who refuses to go vegan.

I guess he likes to keep animals healthy

long enough so he can eat them?

Make it make sense.

So his girlfriend, Christie, asked him to help

cat sit for an old friend.

And after this little errand--

Meow.

Kevin may find himself wishing he had nine lives.

- Hi, Matt? - Yes. Oh, my god.

Come on in. Ma?

Hi, Ma.

Hello.

This is Kevin.

Hi.

Can I help you?

Oh, he's just-- he's just here to help us.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

- Hello. - Hi.

And I don't know if you remember Christie.

- I don't remember. - You look the same.

- That's OK. It's OK. - It's OK.

And are you lost?

Oh, no, no, no.

I'm gonna take you to see your friend today.

And they're gonna-- they're gonna feed Misty

while we're gone, OK?

Oh, sweetie.

I have a lot of cats. - Oh, you do?

And they're all my heart.

Kevin's a veterinarian, so he sees a lot of cats.

- Oh, really? - Yes.

All right, well, I'm gonna take them downstairs,

show them where the food is.

But you know what?

I've heard voices downstairs.

There are men down there.

Well, I'll--

I'll--I'll look into it, OK?

We're gonna go downstairs.

You get your shoes on.

OK?

I really apologize about the mess.

You said she had a lot of cats, though, so--

No, it's--she does not have a lot of cats.

both: Oh. - She has one cat.

That cat is Misty. - That's all--

She's buying all this food.

I come by with food, like, twice a week.

- Oh. - She goes and buys more food.

So here--come on in, guys.

I don't mean to--

animals are good for people, right?

Yeah.

And lowers blood pressure

'cause when you stroke the animal, it calms you.

Oh, it lowers your blood pressure.

Yes.

Maybe the animal's too.

It can get to the point sometimes

where some people take in as many as they possibly can.

People have 100 cats in a house--in a room this big.

Right here. - He's dealt with that.

But that's not--yeah, that's not healthy for anybody.

It's not.

And then I get them adopted out and to safe homes because--

So you help the animals find homes after that?

She moving up there?

She should be getting her shoes on, ideally, yeah.

I'm trying to get him to be a vegan 'cause I'm vegan.

And he eats animals.

I'm trying to get her to realize--

He eats animals.

that it's probably never gonna happen.

So you eat pork?

I inhale the pork.

You ever eaten a cat?

Oh, man.

I really hope I never ate a cat.

So there's a bag of dry food on the counter.

I'll be back probably about an hour--

- OK. - about that.

I'm gonna go up, make sure she's got her shoes on,

and I'll be right back.

OK, so what--what do you want us to do?

If you could just chill for two seconds,

I just want to make sure she's good.

OK. Now--

So what do you think?

Lots of pictures of cats.

This place has-- it's very interesting.

That is the biggest cat.

Oh.

Should we go check?

Uh, I--yeah.

We should.

Misty? Misty?

Did she run down here?

Are you OK?

No, she didn't come down here.

The cat literally ran down here.

You guys hang on. - Misty.

Actually--

Misty?

Make like a--

like a--

He can do it.

If you can do--if you can do cats, do some cat noises.

I'll try what I can do.

Do it.

Misty.

Misty.

Not in there.

Hope she doesn't jump out at me.

Does she-- would she get up there?

No, she does--if she was up there, we'd see her.

- Misty. - That's her.

She got to be behind the door.

Wait, that doesn't make-- that doesn't make any sense,

though. Hang on.

That's Monica upstairs.

No.

That's her.

That's the cat.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Door is still cracked.

Hey, are you sure that your mom doesn't have other cats?

There's no--no, there shouldn't be.

This should just be Misty.

Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

Ahh!

Kevin, you're on "Scare Tactics."

Oh, my god.

Christie set you up.

Are you OK, buddy?

She had me for a second.

You guys-- and the teeth, man.

Oh, my gosh. - You let my cats out?

Yeah.

You got some weird cats.

What are you doing?

Gosh, you guys.

Oh, my god, dude.

Stop it.

What was going through your head?

They looked small.

I thought I could drag you away.

They're actually pretty strong, so--

By the way, not my mom.

No way.

Also not insane.

- No. - No way!

We just haven't been able to get

any of this filing done since the last employees, well, left.

This is an unacceptable answer.

Look, I'm doing the best that I can.

So unless you--

Find more to do the filing.

I've had enough of the cowards you bring me.

I'll see what I can do.

I'm still waiting on that pumpkin spice latte.

This is the best job I've ever had.

Actually, it's the only job I've ever had.

I can't imagine taking orders from some cringey-ass boss.

Meet Chris.

He thinks his best friend, Nicole,

should stop taking crap from her bosses.

Let's see how Nicole handles a boss who's a literal monster.

- Rita. - Oh, hey.

- Hi. - How are you?

Oh, I'm great.

- You look nice. - Thank you. Hi, Rita.

Nice to meet you. Nicole. - Nice to meet you.

I'm Rita.

So I guess you can go ahead with Eddie.

- OK. - Yeah.

He'll take you to the break room.

OK.

One good thing about this job is there's a lot

of snacks in the break room.

OK.

So before we get started, I just wanted to get

to know you a little better.

I just moved here from Florida, like, five years ago.

Also, I'm an artist, and I want the world

to see my artistry as well.

Well, that's good.

So your availability is--

- I'm open right now. - You're open right now.

Because I have nothing scheduled.

Got it.

We have a lot of different types of companies

that we have to share space with.

Oh.

You'll get used to it.

Do you have any special skills?

Mm.

Ooh.

Um, when you say special skills, like as far as maybe,

like, a horseback rider or like--

Yeah, that would be great to know.

I'm definitely not that.

You just came up with that. But you're not--

- I have performed. - OK.

I don't consider myself a drag queen because I'm trans,

so I'd more say just showgirl.

Showgirl.

Just get up on stage, lip sync.

Have you ever experienced anything paranormal?

Paranormal?

Yeah.

I'm gonna be honest with you.

So there was a time where, like, I'll be sleeping at home,

and the door will be open to my room, like, the hallway.

And I swear to God, I'll be, like, seeing stuff walk by.

Did they ever speak to you?

No, they never spoke to me.

Did you ever try to speak to them?

I'm like, hello? Who's there?

No, or there'll be times I'll be home, right?

And I'll hear something.

And I'll be like, hello.

Who's there?

I'm like, OK, I'm crazy at this point.

So even now, you still feel like you can feel,

like, presences or hauntings.

Sometimes. Sometimes.

Oh, interesting. OK, great.

Would you say that you've had any difficult bosses

in the past? - Difficult?

Or challenging bosses.

Yes.

I just have to inhale and exhale

and know that it's nothing personal.

And I know we have to get the job done.

Great.

So at this level-- - OK.

it's mostly filing.

As you can see, Eddie is doing that right now.

After that's done, it's taken over to a storage facility.

You have to go through the tunnel.

And so one of the reasons we pay so well

is because we want to make sure that we have somebody

who doesn't get easily rattled.

OK.

Anyway, I actually need to go grab something

for the last part. - OK.

Be right back.

Is Chris OK?

Oh, yeah.

No, he's just hanging out. Yeah.

I heard something over there.

You did?

Down there.

I was like, what happened?

It's funny.

She makes it sound so ominous. - Yeah.

Like it is kind of creepy, but like, there's--

The tunnel.

Yeah, I don't--

I don't believe in that.

Sorry about that.

I forgot my recorder.

Oh, you're fine.

Obviously, there's non-disclosure agreements here.

And we used to do them on paper,

but our legal department decided

that they'd rather have it be verbal.

OK.

Are you OK if I record you?

- Please. - OK, great.

So just repeat after me.

I, Nicole Sky.

I, Nicole Sky.

Am entering the tunnel by my own free will.

And I do not hold Exmanian Holdings, LLC--

And I do not hold Ex--

- Manian. - Exmanian Holds, LLC--

- responsible-- - responsible--

for any adverse effects.

And I do not hold Exmanian Holdings, LLC--

And I do not hold Ex--

- Manian. - Exmanian Holds, LLC--

- responsible-- - responsible--

for any adverse effects.

for any adverse effects.

OK, great.

So if you could just go with Eddie, he'll show you--

OK.

- the storage facility. - Storage?

OK. - On the other side.

Thank you so much, Nicole.

All right.

It was nice meeting you.

- Nice to meet you, too. - Here you go.

Oh.

You're gonna be taking these.

I got to come back for the next set.

OK.

It's just down right that way.

That filing cabinet's right up there.

OK.

I'm gonna go check on Chris.

Yeah, go check on him.

I don't know where he is.

Oh, the filing cabinet up there?

Say what?

The filing cabinet up there?

Yeah.

OK.

OK.

Oh, god.

Hello?

Ahh!

The filing.

You have to do the filing.

You don't have to run.

'Cause you're on "Scare Tactics."

You're on TV right there.

Oh, shit!

OK.

I almost slipped out my damn sandals.

I'm running away from this damn scary-ass man

that came out this corner.

I don't even know why the hell Chris got me

coming to this warehouse.

I didn't know where the hell I'm at.

That was so fun.

How you feeling?

Oh, the nerves. Ohh.

I wanted to prank my friend because I never

get an uproar out of her.

So I'm like, I needed to do something to get

her attention.

Well, you definitely got it, friend.

Uh-huh. I did, friend, yeah.

This is ridiculous.

I got to go digital.
