Original subtitles

I'm telling you, he's back.

-[shrieks] -Help me find him.

Yes!

[tense music playing]

What? Is this a joke?

Where is he?

[Harold] Previously on Goosebumps...

How do we get you to stop with this ghost nonsense?

Lucas could spend his last years in high school without a mom.

That's a lot coming from you.

You used to tell me everything.

This all has to do with the ghost of a dead kid.

Why is nobody listening to me?

I'll take care of her now.

If you want to get out of here,

you have to stop taking the pills

and stop talking crazy.

[Bratt] The eye, where'd you find it?

-What's your name again? -Lucas Parker.

-I ended things with Allison. -Have you told Margot yet?

You know that Lucas is

staying at her house right now, right?

I'm just kinda like rambling and...

You don't think I got, like, anything to worry about, do you?

-People will know you're not me. -No, they won't.

They won't even know you're missing.

-[James screams] -Back to work.

I was cleaning out my basement the other day

-and found this scrapbook. -The Biddle basement?

[Bratt] I thought maybe you could show it to your mom.

-And you could look at it, too. -[Young Sarah] Hey, Harold.

[Margot] I see the past. So all the information

that we need is in the scrapbook.

-This ends badly. -This is the one chance

to finally know the truth.

[all coughing]

Mom?

I can't go to jail. Okay? Grab the case.

[Isaiah] There's gotta be way more to the story.

Like, what the hell was in that case?

[Bratt] You guys wanna know what's in the case?

Come inside, I'll tell you.

[yelps] Oh, my God!

[laughing] I found him in the basement.

[Perry] We think it would be a good idea

if you spent more time with your real friends

-instead of your dummy. -His name is Slappy.

[Young Nora] It's the puppet. We're in serious danger.

Ever since he found the dummy, he changed.

-Let's get that dummy. -Tomorrow night?

[all screaming]

We can never, ever talk about

what happened here tonight again.

[Lucas] Yeah, but this Harold Biddle kid,

our parents were probably trying to help him.

Um, what? No.

That's the whole point of this story.

[ominous music plays]

[Bratt] Listen to me!

Your parents bullied Harold. You understand?

They bullied him constantly!

They bullied him and bullied him and bullied him

and then they broke into his house

and they stole his best friend!

-Best friend? -Yes! His best friend!

And they ended up killing him in the process!

So, yeah, they're murderers!

Weren't you even listening?

I gotta spell it out for you?

[tense music playing]

Mr. Bratt?

What?

How do you know all of this?

[tense music playing]

[scoffs] Right.

The twist.

I know all this because...

I'm not Mr. Bratt.

-I'm Harold Biddle. -[all gasp]

And it's time to get Slappy back.

[tense music playing]

-Bratt's gone. -You mean Biddle's gone.

-Where'd he go? -Uh, door!

Door, door, door, door, door, door, door!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay!

[Margot] Is it not opening?

-I'm trying, I think I can get it. -[Margot] Try pushing.

-Ready? -Go!

-Hey, hey! -What?

-Count of three, yeah? -Okay.

[both] One, two, three!

[both] Whoa!

-[wind howling] -[Margot] Oh, my God!

[door slams]

[ominous music plays]

Whoa!

I'm gonna vote for not opening things anymore.

-Yeah. -Cool?

[tense music playing]

[James] So much for democracy.

[tense music playing]

[Margot] Oh, my God.

We're trapped in the scrapbook.

[eerie music playing]

[Isaiah] I'm gonna find us a way out of here. Okay?

I'm gonna try the basement.

No... Isaiah!

-[doorknob rattles] -It's locked.

Thank God.

Okay, so Biddle must have drawn a picture of us

in the scrapbook to trap us here.

Great.

I'm too young to die.

Dude... we're all the same age.

Look, my mom will realize I'm gone

and she'll start freaking out soon enough.

No, she's right.

Our parents are gonna figure this out.

[Isaiah] Yeah, but we have been here all night, so...

I'm sure they'll be here any minute now.

[Lucas] I don't know, will they?

Our parents haven't exactly done the best job

of figuring things out.

[phone chimes]

[phone whooshes]

[eerie music playing]

[phone whooshes]

[Bratt] "K." Thanks, Mom.

You're up, Isabella.

Great.

Thank you.

"Hey, Mom,

not gonna make it for dinner,

but I love you, and save me some leftovers."

Kissy face, kissy face,

spaghetti emoji.

[phone whooshes]

The end.

[tense music playing]

Look, by law, I can't keep you here any longer.

But if you wanted to stay voluntarily, I can arrange that.

It could be really good for you to get the extra rest.

Mm, that's very kind.

I don't think that's necessary.

[eerie music playing]

I'm starting to feel a lot more clear now, you know?

I don't feel as fuzzy and sleepy all the time.

You know anything about that?

Drowsiness is a common side effect of many medications.

Getting the dosage right is tricky--

You drugged me, Victoria.

You were agitated and upset

and we didn't want you doing anything you regretted.

-It was for your own good. -Oh.

Now, okay, I see. But, well, maybe

I should have a quick conversation

with my lawyer.

Or the state medical board, you know?

-For my own good. -Nora, let's not get carried away.

How about let's do get carried away, Victoria?

You know, I mean... There's a ghost

coming after our children!

If now's not a good time to get a little carried away,

I don't know when is!

What's that supposed to mean?

[scoffs] I'm trusting my own instincts.

It's something I should have done a long time ago.

[tense music playing]

[phone whooshes]

-[elevator dings] -[sighs]

-Oh. Hi. -[Bratt] Oh, hi.

Heh. Just the person I was looking for.

Why were you looking for me?

You know...

Our mutual friend.

-We have a mutual friend? -Yes, we do.

What are you talking about?

You know.

I don't. I don't know.

[eerie music playing]

-Harold. -You went to the mine.

You took him out of the case. And I want him back now!

-[Nora screaming indistinctly] Help me! -Hey! Hey!

-Whoa, whoa, hey. -Hey!

-Excuse me, man. -Hey! Hey!

[object thuds]

-[floor creaks] -[gasps]

[Colin] Nora!

-What are you doing? -[sighs]

Oh, my God, Colin.

I was just checking your mail, I heard a noise and...

You got discharged? You didn't call me?

Yeah, no, um, it happened so fast. I'm sorry.

Well, honey, I would have picked you up.

Oh, no, um...

There's just...

There's just something that I need to do really quick

before I see anyone.

Even Lucas?

I was thinking when you got out, we could celebrate

or whatever is appropriate

when people get out of a mental hospital.

Maybe we could get a couples massage?

That seems weird.

But, God, I'm so excited to see you! Am I talking a lot?

No. No, I'm just preoccupied.

Yeah. What are you doing back here?

There's just something that I need to do.

It won't take long. We can celebrate however you want when I get back. Okay.

Well, what's in the bag?

No, wait. Look, I'm taking care of your kid and your fig tree

and you can't tell me what you're doing with that duffel bag?

-That's not how relationships work. -Look, I'm sorry, I can't.

Well, I'm not okay with that!

I literally just went through this with Sarah.

My marriage broke up because of secrets.

Okay. Colin, everybody has secrets.

No, they don't. I have zero secrets.

You're the only secret I've ever had in my whole life!

I'm going.

Fine, go.

But don't come back until you're ready to talk.

[engine starts]

It's not your fig tree's fault!

So I will... water your plant.

Okay, um...

Has anyone else considered the thought that maybe

our parents won't save us?

Um, but in the meantime, I think we have to do something

other than just wait around here.

-Like what? -[Margot] I don't know, just, like,

explore this whole thing, this world? I don't know.

You do realize it's from your exploring that we're in this mess, right?

Are...

Are you saying that this is my fault?

No. No. Forget it.

-Mm-hm. -Okay.

But if I had to pick somebody to blame...

-Mm-mm. -...my vote would be you.

-[Lucas] Dude, come on. -James, chill.

What? We came in to get her! Okay?

Now I'm trapped in a scrapbook after being trapped in a mine

after being trapped in a house by a cuckoo clock!

-Okay, I get it. -Look, if you want to blame anyone,

you blame our parents.

They're the ones that made this ghost want to seek

revenge on us for the sins of our parents, not Margot.

Thank you.

But we did tell you not to...

-go inside the scrapbook. -Okay, wow. Okay.

-Really backtracked on that. -I'm just trying

to be fair to my best friend, okay?

-Bros before... -[Margot] Hm?

-[James] ...homies. -What? Want to say that again?

-Say it. -Homies.

Bros before homies. You guys are so tight and I respect that.

Mm.

[tense music playing]

[cell phone beeping]

[line rings]

[Lucas] Hey. It's Lucas. Can't come to the phone, or it's broken.

-[line beeps] -Hi, honey, it's Mom.

Listen, I'm sorry I didn't tell you I was getting out.

There's just something I need to take care of.

I'll call you when I'm on my way back home, okay?

I love you.

[line beeps]

[tense music playing]

Yeah, this house is getting really small now.

-[Lucas growls playfully] -Mm.

-Yeah, real small. -Oh, come on, Howard. [growls]

-Don't touch me, Lucas. -Wait, guys.

-Do you hear that? -[wood creaking]

There's someone else in the house.

Uh, we're definitely not alone.

Okay, that's coming from the dining room.

-We need to hide. -Hide where? It's just one big room!

-You're right. -Why are you all holding things?

Grab something!

I'm sick of hiding. We go on three.

-[Margot] On "three" or on "go"? -Dude, whoa, whoa, whoa.

-We need to split up and-- -Look, just kill it!

Can we do it on five, six, seven, eight?

-What if we do three, two, one? -Hey!

[all screaming]

Wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm not Biddle!

I'm me! Bratt!

-Mr. Bratt! -What?

I'm the real Bratt. Bratt Bratt, not Biddle Bratt, I'm...

Me, I'm your teacher, Mr. Bratt.

Okay, wait, wait!

This is gonna sound crazy.

I think I was...

-possessed by a ghost. -What?

[Bratt] I, I can explain as much as I know.

So, I... Okay, okay, so I was,

I was here doing a crossword puzzle

and just kicking it, you know?

And I see this thing and it comes rushing at me

and it's this flannel and body odor,

and before I knew it, I was stuck here

and that thing was me down there or wherever.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, no.

We're gonna need a little more than that

-before I put this thing down. -Mm-hm.

-Yeah, yeah, yeah. -Yep, yep.

Okay, okay, fair enough. I'll tell you.

Everyone just... chill, okay?

Put the... put the things down.

[birds chirping]

[knocking]

Hey, Ben.

Hey, Colin, what's up?

Um...

I could really use someone to talk to about relationship stuff.

Yeah, I wish I was just here to ask about a leaky faucet,

but I'm not.

Well, come on in.

So, this about Sarah?

Nora.

Oh.

-Oh. -Yeah, yeah.

No, it's, uh, all out in the open, you know.

Sarah knows about it. It's totes cool.

But you guys have known each other forever, right?

Is she okay? After, you know, she got out.

I mean, I thought she was doing okay, but...

she's been acting really weird.

Like, not her normal weird.

-Can you be more specific? -Okay.

Well, we got in this big fight.

And she won't talk to me

and she keeps saying that she has secrets.

So I'm just wondering,

is there something I don't know about Nora

that's really gonna freak me out?

Like, just tell me, man.

I... Is there like a repressed memory or something

from way back that she unlocked?

This is dumb.

Did you guys run over a doll in high school... or something?

What'd you say?

[Colin exhales sharply]

There's like a duffel bag that she has

that has some doll parts in it that was in the shed.

[keys clatter]

Colin, where is Nora?

-Like, right now? -I don't know.

She took off and didn't tell me where she was going.

Where are you going?

[engine starts]

[tires screech]

See, now I'm starting to think it's me.

Nope. No.

It's them. It's definitely them.

[phone rings]

[tense music playing]

I can't believe nobody noticed

that you were possessed by a ghost.

Like, no one.

Like a parent, like a friend.

-Someone you were dating. -Nope.

No one noticed you were gone, sir.

-Crazy. -Well...

I mean, I'm in a bit of a transitional moment

of my life right now, so...

Yeah.

So you're like a loser?

No. No, Lucas. [scoffs]

Not a loser, uh, it's hurtful, also, um, and very inaccurate.

I don't want to get into it with you guys

'cause you're my students and it's not appropriate,

but not a loser.

Okay, how long have you been here?

It's hard to say. Time is... is kind of a blur.

Um...

It was the night of your injury.

-That was a long time ago. -It was.

-Hey, do you ever get hungry? -Lucas!

[Bratt] No, like I said, I've mostly just been

preoccupied with really extreme existential dread.

And, of course, trying in vain to get out of

this weird purgatory house,

which, I'll save you the trouble... [scoffs]

There is no exit.

-There has to be a way out. -[Bratt] Yeah.

Yeah, that's what I thought when I first got here, Isaiah,

but, um...

sorry to be the bearer of bad news-- there's not.

Nathan, you need to pull it together, okay?

'Cause you might not have something to fight for,

but we do, and I do. And I have a little brother

to get back to tonight, okay?

So, you know what we need? We need...

an inspirational teacher "carpe diem" moment.

-Please? -Like the speech from Rudy.

-Yeah. -[Bratt] Rudy?

-"Captain, my captain." -Yeah.

Even like a "Live, laugh, love" moment.

-All of that. -Focus.

Uh, okay.

You're right, um...

Let's see. Uh, well,

-let's unpack this, like we do in class. -[all exclaim]

[Bratt] Let's start with what we know. What do we know?

What do we know? We know that, um, we know that Biddle, uh...

We know that you guys are here because Biddle put you in the scrapbook.

-Yes. -And that I'm here

because Biddle took control of my body.

-Mm-hm! -Yes.

-Yes. -So... we must be...

You know, we must be trapped in his mind.

-That's strong. -Makes sense.

-I like that! -And if that's the case,

then, well, what do we do?

All we have to do is just...

This is where you guys have to jump in, this is kind of a riffing situation.

You're the adult, you...

Well, I got us started, Margot. I can't do everything.

You guys have young, fertile minds. I'm aging, I'm...

[Isaiah] Okay, it makes sense, it makes sense. This far.

So, if there was a way in, there's got to be a way out, right?

-Simple as that. -Yes.

Okay. [claps] Good, Isaiah.

[Isabella] I agree with Isaiah.

Also, I think I might have just found one.

-[Margot] What? -[James] Go Titans.

[eerie music playing]

-Isabella, be careful. -[Bratt] Hey, hey, hey!

-Close that door! -There's a light!

[eerie music playing]

Down there.

-You see that? -Oh, my God.

Yeah, it's another floating room-thing.

-Whoa. -You've been here a minute.

You never... looked out the door?

Of course I looked out the door.

Looked out the door, all I saw was a scary black abyss

and so I closed the door.

I can get down there.

How?

Huh? Where's she going?

[Isaiah] I don't know.

Okay, come on, this is not safe, okay?

Okay, guys, I'm gonna be the first one to say,

I don't think Isabella should be the one to go.

I agree.

-[Isaiah] Thank you. -Why?

She's a strong, independent woman.

I know she's a strong, independent woman,

but she's volunteering to go down into

a gigantic black abyss.

Which is why I want to do it.

What, I have a chance to save us and I'm not gonna take it?

Okay, but Lucas does stupid stuff all the time.

-Maybe he should go. -As the expert,

I kinda think she's, um...

[clears throat] I think she's got this.

Yeah, see? She wants to do it, so she can.

Yeah, fine, everyone just pile in,

'cause I'm out here trying to save our friend!

Bro, I didn't pile.

When everyone was piling, I was silent.

-That's like partial solidarity. -Mm.

Thank you, James. James gets it.

-Period. -You know what, Isaiah's right.

As the sole adult in the room,

I think I have to be the voice of reason here.

This is insane. To tie this thing around your waist?

What are we doing? To jump with this as your life rope into a black abyss?

-Thank you! -[Bratt] It's-- It's a non-starter.

How about this? New plan. Here's what we should do.

Let's put a stop to this and let's just accept our fate

and just, uh, get to know one another.

So what, so we spend eternity getting to know each other, kicking it.

We'll play some charades.

-I'm going. -Yeah, I'm with her.

Yeah. We're doing that.

Okay. Okay.

I have some very negative memories associated with charades.

-[James] Uh, how are you communicating? -Uh...

-Grab on. -Yeah, okay.

-Got it? -[Isaiah] Yeah.

One quick pull means that I'm fine. Okay?

And two quick pulls means yank me up.

Okay, yeah, but like, what happens if there's no pull?

Great question, Lucas.

Okay, fine, I like the plan.

Hey, hey, I like the plan, but I don't want to see you getting hurt.

Can I have some slack? I need to sit.

-Help her out, okay? -[Lucas] Yeah, yeah.

-Okay. You ready? -Ready.

-Tight enough? -Yeah.

-Hey, you got it. -[Isabella] Yeah.

-[Isaiah] You guys got it? -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

-[Margot] Yeah, we got you. -Okay, right.

-[Isabella] Okay. -You're gonna be okay.

[tense music playing]

You okay, Isabella?

[Isabella] Yeah!

["In The Meantime" continues playing]

[Bratt screams]

Hi.

That was so awesome.

[both panting]

What?

I... I didn't say anything.

Okay.

Hey, what happened down there?

Okay, well, it...

It seemed like the past.

But, um, then it felt like the future.

It's hard to explain. And then I...

I saw all of these people, but they looked like puppets.

And that's when I ran out and the hallway ripped in half.

Well, this day just keeps getting better and better.

[sighs] We promised never to come back.

Well, I think one of us broke that promise.

Wait here.

[keys clatter]

[tense music playing]

[Duplicate James] It's not down there.

[tense music playing]

James? What the hell are you doing here?

Did your mom tell you about this?

Oh, she's not my mom.

But I'm gonna deal with her as soon as I'm done with you.

[whistles]

Whoops.

James. James!

James!

[suspenseful music playing]

James?

Oh, my God, look at you!

Is this where you've been spending the night?

With your friends? You've been turning the family mine into a drug den?

Ha.

Look who's projecting.

I think we both know your son's not the one with the problem here, Eliza.

Why are you talking like that?

Because it's time to stop numbing the pain

and live in the real world.

[chuckles]

[suspenseful music playing]

Did you really think you wouldn't pay for what you did to Harold?

You're not James.

[suspenseful music playing]

Nope.

-[Eliza screams] -[Duplicate James yelling]

Calm down!

[Ben choking]

[Ben panting]

I think it's safe to say that...

Nora was right all along.

[Isabella] I know we might be in danger here,

but I honestly think it could be worse out there.

Will someone hit me?

Hit you?

I may have figured something out.

I'm not totally sure yet. Yeah, just hit me.

I mean, a'ight. Want me to just...

A-- Actually, you hit me.

-No. -[sighs]

Come on.

["At It Again" by Slow Pulp playing]

[laughs] Yes!

Yes!

-[gasps] -[all scream]

I was right! It worked!

Pain makes me go back into my body.

-[all exclaiming] -I mean, my real body.

-Are you serious? -Yes, I'm serious.

I was in my car and, um, I saw everything there.

-The scrapbook was even there-- -Wait, you saw the scrapbook?

Yes, it was just right there, sitting on the seat next to me.

Okay, that is how we're getting out of here.

What? What does that mean?

Because Mr. Bratt can get the scrapbook and he can write us a way out.

Oh... Yes. Actually, you know what, um,

not to brag, but I... I am a bit of a writer.

Yes, I, um, had a few short stories published

in Horror Weekly. I don't know if you, do you know that?

Okay. That's so great. Um, so what you're gonna have to do

is you're gonna write a way out, an exit, out of this page.

-That's a great idea. -Heck, yeah!

-Yes. -And in order to do that, um...

we're...

We're gonna need to send you back.

-Yeah. -Right, okay.

Okay, hold on before we get all slap-happy

and bum rush Mr. Bratt, let's plan this

so it's not just a bunch of, you know, chaotic swings.

[Bratt] What is she doing?

What is with the stretching?

Does it have to be her?

Don't worry.

Her bark is worse than her bite.

Her bite was pretty bad last time.

Yeah, I mean, she did try to kill me, you know.

For real? [stammering] Are you being serious?

And her mom.

And... your brother and--

-Lucas. -I guess you with the oar.

I mean, she is a badass.

-You'll be fine, Nathan. -Okay. Thanks, Lucas.

And, you know, I've been trying to be cool about the "Nathan" of it all

and I'd like to remind you that I am still technically your teacher, so...

when we do go back to the real world,

I will still be your teacher

and I don't want to confuse the other students.

So I'd appreciate it if you go back

to calling me just Mr. Bratt.

Ow!

[scoffs]

Nora!

Hey!

It's... It's Nath...

Nora, it's Nathan! Bratt!

What's happening?

No--! Nora!

What?

Hey! Ow.

It's Nathan!

What... What the hell?

Harold!

Ah!

-Oof. -What happened?

Biddle punched me back out.

-Should I punch you harder? -No, no, no, no, just...

Give me a few minutes to get my jaw back in line.

Thanks. By the way, I saw Nora.

-Wait, my mom? -Yeah, your mom, Nora.

She was coming out of, like, a general store.

Oh, general store?

I think I know that place.

It's like by our cabin in the mountains.

Did you see what she was doing there?

No, but, um, I think Biddle may be following her.

[tense music playing]

[Margot] Whew, okay, um, did you see the scrapbook?

Yeah, it was right there, it was right on the passenger seat.

-You got to get us out of here. -I will, just give me a sec--

You don't have to hit so hard!

Can't even hear me.

Thank you, Lucas.

Yes! Okay.

Okay. What the heck?

[eerie music playing]

What?

[straining] Oh, no.

Hey!

Let go!

[Harold] Let go of it, you dork.

Oh, you think I'm a dork? [scoffs]

-[Harold] Yeah, I do. -Well, at least I'm alive!

[Harold] For now.
