- There she is. - Hi!

I want you to have a really fun, and also safe, summer out here.

Do not come down here!

How did I get here?

Previously on Goosebumps…

Heard anything about a break-in at the old fort?

Someone vandalized the transformer.

I just got out of juvie.

Do you think that I'm stupid enough

to do something like that? I don't want to go back.

I finally got the hoodie back from the police, and I found

this residual organic matter on it.

That substance created the plant bulb.

It's not a plant. It's an animal.

-Herbivore? -Carnivore.

Trey!

You stay away from her!

Devin!

Murph! Quit it!

D-- Do you want to end up in prison like your brother?

- Huh? - You're the one

-who brought fireworks to a party. -This is not safe for inside.

I mean, you seriously got the mother lode here.

Okay, we get it.

Holy crap, you got M-80s? This can blow a finger off.

Yo. Chicken? Twenty bucks?

-Murph, don't do this. -Now, the weird thing is,

when your finger first goes…

…you don't feel it.

This is, like, not funny or safe in any way.

Meanwhile, your hand…

- is just sitting there. - Stop it, both of you.

Like raw… meat. Come on.

This is crazy. You're crazy.

Oh no, oh no. No. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no.

Alex, h-- help me.

I can't get it off.

Hurry!

- Come on! Go, go! - Guys, we gotta get out!

Help!

Hey.

You're not gonna like this.

This hers?

Yeah, I don't know where she got the fireworks from.

Just wanna let you know what's going on.

Thank you.

Of course, no problem.

Mom, please.

You have to get me out of this.

- This… This isn't my fault. - Get you out of this?

- I can explain. - Okay. Good. So, explai…

That's what I thought.

-No, but Mom, I-- -No, I'm not your mother right now.

I am a detective. This is a crime scene,

and you are the prime suspect.

Officer Morales is going to be over here to talk to you.

I would advise you just to not say anything.

Wait, but-- but you believe me…

right?

Mom.

Mom!

Mom! Mom, come back!

- Hey. - Hi.

-Hey, have you seen Trey? -Uh…

No, why would I have seen Trey?

Have you seen Trey?

Uh-- No, that's why I'm asking you.

I think he broke into the basement last night.

Broke out more like it.

Yeah, that too.

- Hey, guys. What's up? - Hey, have you seen Trey?

No, I haven't seen Trey. Why would I have seen him?

I don't know, uh… Kids see kids.

Trey broke into the basement last night.

-Why? -I smashed his car window.

Okay, same question, different subject. Why?

I… I got to go. I promised Frankie I'd meet her.

Oh. Of course the reason you're up so early is a girl.

Yeah.

What's going on with him?

I don't know. Nothing.

Cec…

if something's up with him, you… you need to tell me,

okay? I'm his dad.

Um, I mean, maybe you should ask Devin?

So, something is up with him? Cec, come on.

Do I need to be worried?

Okay, look, I… I didn't tell you this,

but he did say his memory's been a little fuzzy.

-Fuzzy? -Yeah, and he also said the other night

he thought he fell into the sewer,

or was pulled down by something, and--

Wait, wait, wait, wait. What? When? When…

Why didn't he tell me this?

Because he didn't want to scare you.

He didn't want you to think what was happening to Grandma

was happening to him.

What? That-- That's not even possible.

Yeah, I know.

Did… Did Devin go in the basement?

I mean, when the door was open?

What? What are you talking about?

- Cece, just tell me. - What? No-- B--

Of course, I'm… I'm trying to tell you something

serious about Devin, and all you care about

is if he went into the basement and messed up

-your science fair experiments. -No, no, that's not it.

No one goes in the basement.

Except for Trey, apparently.

Anyways, I gotta go.

Have a good 'un-- Have a good… Have a good day.

The Department of Probation

has issued you this ankle bracelet

as an electronic tagging device.

You must sign here to agree to the terms and conditions.

Now, does it also track my steps?

Ha ha.

It's my daughter. I'm sorry.

You know, I'll be the only kid at the precinct Fourth of July barbecue

with one of those bad boys.

Whose fault do you think that is?

You know, you might want to think

a little bit harder before asking that question, Mom.

Sorry.

Oh, working mom here, too. Same boat.

Let's hope not.

Okay.

Oh, yes.

Alex's future success is going to be a family effort.

Okay. Follow the rules, continue your community service,

and keep to your curfew, 10:00 p.m.,

or you will find yourself back in front of a judge,

and in all likelihood, back in custody.

Okay? That's it.

I'll walk you out.

Thank you so much for coming, Teresa.

Where you going?

Bodies to bury.

-Community service. -Alex, if you don't take this seriously,

-I can't help you. -Well, you didn't help me

in the first place, so that's nothing new.

Hey, Murph! Murph!

Hey, where do you think you're going?

I just need to talk to that guy. Please, he-- he's the reason

-I went to juvie. -Hey, take one more step

and I will happily send you back.

Bye, thank you. Have a great day.

My God.

I murdered my boyfriend.

No, you didn't. No way. Look--

No, you didn't. That wasn't Trey.

That was a-- a monster

that kind of looked like Trey that had Trey's same taste in jewelry.

How are you so calm about this?

Okay, we're talking about a monster.

-Right. -A real monster.

That is not a normal thing.

Okay, I know. But, like, a lot of things

have been happening that are not normal.

You know, I remember…

I-- Something dragged me into the sewer the other night.

What? What-- What thing?

I don't know. I only remember bits and pieces

of, like, vines strangling me.

You know, it was kind of like… it was like…

a monster version

of the plants in my dad's basement.

I called you about this hours ago.

Yeah, well, there's other stuff happening in Brooklyn

that is equally as important as your basement.

I doubt that.

How do you know Trey did this?

I'm no detective, but, uh…

Why would Trey leave his clothes?

Who knows? Why-- Why do kids do anything?

Maybe it's some TikTok challenge.

A TikTok challenge?

Where you vandalize someone's basement

and then leave your clothes as evidence?

I don't… Uh…

Maybe it was some kind of retaliation. Whatever!

Retaliation? Retaliation for what?

I kind of smashed his car window.

Anthony!

Look, he was blocking my driveway again.

Oh, well then that's a logical solution.

Thank-- Thank you, okay.

Why would you do that?

I asked you not to mess with him.

Wait a minute, so this-- this is all-- all my fault?

Look, Trey stole something very valuable from me

and I need it back.

What could be more valuable than your laptop,

-than all your lab equipment? -My research.

And he doesn't realize how unstable and fragile it is.

Okay, well, the non-criminal solution would be

-to file a police report. -No--

Would you like to file a police report?

No, no. I-- I just want my research back

as soon as possible, okay?

Look, I've never asked you for anything.

Okay, let's go find Trey.

Hey, Joe!

Got a sec?

Oh, good. I was going to call you about that guy.

He's a menace. He looks all normal in plaid

when in fact he's just full of rage.

Hey, Trey was trespassing, okay?

For like the millionth time.

Scariest kind of guy is a normal-looking angry dude like Jeffrey Dahmer.

Oh, so now, I'm Jeffrey Dahmer?

Are you seriously comparing me to Jeffrey Dahmer?

I don't know. Maybe.

I don't know what's going on in that normal looking head.

-Yeah-- -Anthony, let me handle this.

Look, I'm going to show you. Look at this.

Look what this monster did to my car.

Oh. I guess Trey already fixed her.

Great. That is one problem solved.

Now, I need to talk to Trey. Is he around?

-No. -He's covering for him.

-Anthony. -No, no. No.

Trey stole something from me.

Is Trey here? And remember, I'm a cop.

You are currently talking to a police officer,

even though we went to kindergarten together.

He's not here yet.

Takes Frankie to work then hits the gym.

Benching two hundred.

-Pretty impressive stuff. -How is that relevant?

Okay, it's not a big deal, Joe. Just call Trey.

Voicemail…

I'll try Frankie…

Hey, Frankie. You seen Trey? He's not at work.

Okay. Let me know if you do.

She hasn't seen him since yesterday.

Now, I'm starting to get worried.

-What you do with him? -I ate him.

-What? -I ate him.

-Yep. -All right. We're gonna go home.

-You serious? -Delicious.

-You see him? Rage! -Enough. All right, the two of yous!

When you're done with that, move the Olds onto the street…

I'm going to go out and look for Trey.

Hey. What's up? Why'd you text?

Could I borrow your scooter for a few hours?

Oh, uh, let me think about that. No.

Come on, CJ. This is really important.

The scooter is my livelihood.

How do I even know you'd return it to me?

What is that supposed to mean? Huh?

W-- Well, you're an ex-con. You could sell it for parts.

An ex-con? Really?

- Yeah. No. - I-- I was jo… Okay.

Screw it.

Cece!

What are you doing in Trey's car?

Uh, driving. He's letting me borrow it.

What are you doing today?

I am heading into the city.

I have to present my con argument

against free speech at debate camp.

Nice, fascist. Ditch it.

That's funny. We can't all be bad girls.

I'm gonna assume that you mean bad girls

in a hot way and not a derogatory way.

One should never assume.

Mm, cute. Look, I need your help with something.

Told you. I'm heading to debate camp.

Not today.

Excuse me?

I really don't want to have to say anything.

Say anything about what?

You boosting that lip gloss at the pharmacy.

Nice try, but no one's gonna believe you over me.

Yeah, they might not, but they'll believe this.

No, I'm going live!

All right, hop in.

Has anyone ever told you that you suck?

Oh, yeah. Every hour of every day.

♪ Trick, I said what I said

Just so you know, this is extortion.

Yeah, it's a little bit extortion-y.

But, hon-- honestly, it's like no big deal.

I just need you to go in there and then ask the guy

behind the counter where his buddy Murph is.

Okay, and why can't you do this?

Because Murph doesn't want to talk to me and all his buddies know it.

Okay.

Well, I'm not gonna do that.

I think you're a little bit confused on how extortion works.

No. No, I'm not. I just have new information.

You see, on our drive over here,

I did a little research on Google

-on the old phone here, and… -Oh, wow!

…guess what I found out?

Found out that if you're on probation

and you get reported for anything,

like stealing a car, for instance,

you go right back inside.

And there's even this little nifty anonymous number

that you can call to report someone.

I borrowed the car.

You might want to workshop that before the police come.

Don't, no, don't, don't.

Please, just-- I just need you to do this one thing for me, okay?

I'm on hold. There's 15 callers ahead of me.

That's how long you have to explain.

Everyone thinks I started this big fire last year,

all right? And that's why I went to juvie.

But I didn't do it.

Why do they think you did it, then?

Well, I mean, I've dabbled in, like, some light criming,

-some truancy, and vandalism, and larceny. -Oh, okay.

-Yeah. -Right.

And, um, one time, I may have rolled

a whole vending machine off the end of a pier

to impress a girl.

Okay, well, did it… did it at least impress her?

Weirdly, yeah. Yeah, it did a little bit.

Burning down a building is not on my essentials playlist.

I went to juvie for something I didn't do.

Okay. I… I'm not saying I believe you,

but if you didn't burn a house down, then who did?

Murph. Murph.

And, look, I… I just need you to help me find out

where he is so I can get him to confess.

Why didn't you just tell the police that he did it?

No. I'm not a snitch.

O-- Okay, so your… your plan is to try to get him to confess?

Yeah.

I mean, why? You've already served the time.

I don't want my mom to think I'm a loser criminal.

You know, you really should have just started with that.

What is wrong with this thing?

Trey's car sucks.

Seriously?

I got Murph's work address.

This is bigger than Trey.

You should be out there looking for him right now.

Anthony, we are, but we have to take a statement.

Trey broke into your house. Now, he's missing.

Yeah, a kid's missing, and his clothes are all

that's left of him.

Sound familiar?

Oh, come on. Don't even go there.

This is not the same thing.

No, you're right. Trey's not family.

We both lost someone that night.

Yeah, only… only it wasn't my fault, was it?

I loved Matty.

He was my boyfriend.

Yeah, your high school boyfriend for six months.

He was my brother.

Okay. This is not the time or the place

-to have this conversation. -You know what?

You're the one who brought me in for questioning,

and-- and I'm the victim here.

Except that you still haven't told me exactly what Trey took.

I don't know if he took it or-- or--

You wouldn't understand.

Right. Because I'm just a dumb cop.

Can I go now?

Hey, I just got a call from Joe Jr.

He hasn't heard from Trey, but, uh, Trey's car's gone.

Okay, good. I'm gonna go track him down,

-put an APB on him. -Yeah, you got it, boss.

Don't call me boss.

Okay, Jen.

Do not call me Jen, either.

I'mma just call you.

-Oh, my God. -Anytime?

What is wrong with you?

Uh, Dad?

No? Okay, nobody's here. Come on.

Whoa!… Uh…

Devin, I don't know if I want to be down here.

We just got to take a look around,

and… and… and we're going to go.

No. That's where I fell.

Okay, hey, hey, hey.

See, we just have to figure out what's been happening here, okay?

And then we're going to go.

Okay.

Devin fell into the sewer.

What is all this stuff?

Can we just go, please?

Yeah, let's get out of here.

Hey, come, come, come, come, come.

I think the organic matter from Matty's hoodie

is the cause of everything. The vines that grew

from that substance, they traveled further than…

than was known to me, causing unknown damage.

I'm going to sample the vine from the sewer.

Wait a minute. That's…

This is the exact same viscous substance that…

that's in the freezer.

And while I… I don't know

where the bulb is currently…

…maybe this stuff does.

Ah!

Holy crap.

That's him.

The guy in the scrubs?

Yeah, no, he's not exactly giving lying arsonist.

-Are you sure? -I'm sure.

Oh, okay.

Murph! I just want to talk.

Please.

Alex! What… what's going on?

What are you doing?

-Chasing him. -The home health aide?

Alex, if you're not the bad guy, then stop acting like one

just because of some jerk. Please.

Oh! Have you lost your mind?

You're going to run him over. I'm not trying to.

It's… it's… it's my foot. It's… it's… it's stuck.

What…

I.. I don't-- I can't get it off the gas pedal.

What are you talking about?

What--

What the hell, Alex?

-You're scaring me. -No, I… I swear,

I'm not doing anything. I--

Are you okay?

I can't believe I fell for it.

The innocent routine, you are screwed up!

No. It wasn't me. It was…

It wasn't you?

Yeah, just like it wasn't you who burned that house down.

-Oh, it wasn't. It was… I… -Right. You're insane!

Wait, how… how are you going to get home?

I'll… I'll walk. I'll take a Citi Bike.

I'll take the world's sketchiest rideshare driver.

Anything is better than this.

Cece!

Cece, come back!

Come on!

Oh, no. Okay.

You forgot your kombucha bottle.

Oh, come on. Work with me, baby.

Just gotta get home.

What?

Whoa.

-Hello there. -Hi.

Here is your side of ranch.

Thank you. Does this order maybe come with a ride back to Gravesend?

Really?

Are you literally batting your eyes?

Whatever works.

It worked.

Hey, so what are you doing out here?

Uh… I took a wrong turn.

- Any idea how this happened? - No.

Someone driving by called it in.

-And it was definitely the Olds. -Oh, yeah.

Yeah, matched the description perfectly.

But, uh, there's no trace of the car.

And there's no shattered glass. There's no paint on the pole.

There's not even a hubcap.

You can't hit a pole like this and just drive away.

Yeah, I know. It doesn't make any sense.

Trey does know how to fix cars, but, I mean…

Uh…

You okay?

Yeah, yeah. I'm good.

- Yeah? - Mm-hm. Thanks.

All right. I'll talk to you in a bit, okay?

Yeah.

Alex, you better be okay.

Because you are grounded until you are 40.

God!

Please!

Where are you taking me?

Murph!

Hey, there! Not so tough now, huh?

Not so fun being chased, is it?

How about a little game of car crash chicken?

I'm not controlling the car!

Help! Please help!

Nobody's gonna believe this.

Alex! What the hell?

I have been looking all over for you.

I'm not even gonna try to explain to you.

Well, just tell me this, are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

It's almost ten. You know what that means.

Back to juvie.

I don't care. I'll miss curfew anyway.

It's not ten yet.

Thanks.

Anytime, kiddo.

Not really, but you know what I mean.

Mom's still got it.

Made it home with ten seconds to spare.

Stink!

You ass.

-Sorry, Matty. -Come on!

Just one second.

I can't believe you followed us here.

Mom's gonna blame this on me.

You know what? I wish I didn't have a big brother.

Oh, S… Stink!

Come on!

Stink!

What happened in here, Matty?

We need to talk about Trey.

Why?

I need to know where he is.

-I don't know. -You were in his car, Alex.

I borrowed it.

Alex,

we're not going to get anywhere if you can't be honest with me.

Anthony?

I found Trey.

- Where? - Fort Jerome.

Fort Jerome? Why is he there?

Why are you there?

Wait, hold on. You're not making any sense.

Jen, I was right. It's happening again.
