00:00:29.738 --> 00:00:31.448
I'm really worried about him.

00:00:31.531 --> 00:00:34.367
Me too.
I've never seen him this upset.

00:00:34.451 --> 00:00:36.251
- I know.
- He's taking it hard.

00:00:38.288 --> 00:00:40.415
<i>You know what he said to me?</i>

00:00:40.498 --> 00:00:43.334
<i>He said he'll never write
another story ever again.</i>

00:00:43.418 --> 00:00:45.003
<i>- He said that?
- Yeah.</i>

00:00:47.756 --> 00:00:50.717
This is lame! Stupid!

00:00:59.392 --> 00:01:01.394
I'm gonna burn all this stupid stuff!

00:01:10.695 --> 00:01:13.948
<i>I'm so afraid that tonight
is gonna, like, stifle him</i>

00:01:14.032 --> 00:01:15.950
or be this wound that haunts him.

00:01:16.659 --> 00:01:17.659
Poor little guy.

00:01:17.702 --> 00:01:19.037
He's a creative kid,

00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.748
but maybe we let his obsession
with horror get out of hand.

00:01:22.749 --> 00:01:26.086
I guess I can see
how they could consider it a little weird.

00:01:26.169 --> 00:01:30.298
Maybe it would be easier
if he was just more, I don't know, normal.

00:01:34.844 --> 00:01:36.471
I think I heard something.

00:01:39.432 --> 00:01:40.433
Alex?

00:01:40.517 --> 00:01:41.893
I didn't hear anything.

00:02:20.390 --> 00:02:21.390
Ugh.

00:02:22.058 --> 00:02:24.394
<i>It was all gonna be so perfect, Lucy...</i>

00:02:28.189 --> 00:02:30.900
<i>...just like one big, happy family.</i>

00:02:33.611 --> 00:02:34.654
<i>Your boys</i>

00:02:36.447 --> 00:02:37.574
<i>and my boys.</i>

00:02:37.657 --> 00:02:40.451
<i>Great. The bloodsucking Brady Bunch.</i>

00:02:40.535 --> 00:02:41.911
<i>Lost Boys?</i>

00:02:41.995 --> 00:02:43.413
<i>I still want you, Lucy.</i>

00:02:45.456 --> 00:02:47.750
<i>I haven't changed my mind about that.</i>

00:02:48.501 --> 00:02:50.712
<i>I didn't invite you this time, Max.</i>

00:02:50.795 --> 00:02:51.795
<i>Michael.</i>

00:02:54.507 --> 00:02:55.717
<i>Michael, no!</i>

00:02:59.846 --> 00:03:00.847
<i>Michael!</i>

00:03:10.023 --> 00:03:13.568
<i>- Don't you touch my mother!
- Sam, don't! No, Sam!</i>

00:03:51.898 --> 00:03:52.941
Where am I?

00:04:00.531 --> 00:04:02.033
Hello?

00:04:13.586 --> 00:04:14.504
Hello?

00:04:14.587 --> 00:04:15.713
Anyone?

00:04:15.797 --> 00:04:17.006
I'm trapped!

00:04:17.507 --> 00:04:18.507
Mom!

00:04:18.967 --> 00:04:20.009
Dad!

00:04:38.611 --> 00:04:40.947
Hello? Help!

00:04:41.906 --> 00:04:44.993
<i>What is your name?</i>

00:04:45.868 --> 00:04:46.995
A... Alex.

00:04:48.246 --> 00:04:50.039
Alex Mosher.

00:04:52.250 --> 00:04:53.251
Alex.

00:04:56.671 --> 00:04:58.047
Alex!

00:05:18.276 --> 00:05:21.362
Please, please.

00:05:26.409 --> 00:05:27.243
Boo.

00:05:28.578 --> 00:05:30.496
Let's get this over with.
I'm a busy witch.

00:05:30.580 --> 00:05:32.123
Are you useful in any way?

00:05:32.206 --> 00:05:33.458
Uh, I...

00:05:35.501 --> 00:05:36.501
Do you see them?

00:05:36.544 --> 00:05:39.339
The apartment lured them in.

00:05:40.923 --> 00:05:42.425
That's what the apartment does.

00:05:44.802 --> 00:05:45.887
Those children,

00:05:46.929 --> 00:05:48.598
they were not useful to me.

00:05:49.932 --> 00:05:51.309
Do you understand?

00:05:51.392 --> 00:05:52.894
So let's try this again.

00:05:52.977 --> 00:05:57.732
Is there anything special
about you at all?

00:05:57.815 --> 00:05:59.984
Any reason I should let you live?

00:06:01.819 --> 00:06:03.696
And get up.

00:06:04.489 --> 00:06:05.489
Come closer.

00:06:10.536 --> 00:06:12.580
Goodbye, Alex.

00:06:16.626 --> 00:06:20.588
I do write scary stories.

00:06:25.885 --> 00:06:29.806
Did you say "scary stories"?

00:06:31.974 --> 00:06:33.309
What's... what's that?

00:06:35.937 --> 00:06:36.937
No more questions.

00:06:38.064 --> 00:06:41.109
My Nightbooks.
It's where I wrote my stories.

00:06:42.902 --> 00:06:45.029
What are you doing with these
so late at night?

00:06:45.113 --> 00:06:46.155
I was...

00:06:47.407 --> 00:06:49.992
I was gonna burn them
in the boiler room downstairs.

00:06:50.076 --> 00:06:52.537
Burn them? So they're not any good.

00:06:52.620 --> 00:06:54.038
- No.
- Goodbye, Alex.

00:06:54.122 --> 00:06:56.374
They're good.
They're very, really, really good.

00:06:57.959 --> 00:06:59.210
Nightbooks, huh?

00:07:00.753 --> 00:07:03.381
The title better not be
the scariest thing about them.

00:07:03.464 --> 00:07:06.551
I'm going to need a story every night.

00:07:06.634 --> 00:07:10.596
The story better be good,
and it better be scary,

00:07:11.431 --> 00:07:14.100
or it's the last thing
you'll ever do.

00:07:54.682 --> 00:07:56.100
Hey.

00:08:28.883 --> 00:08:30.843
It's a little kitty.

00:08:32.053 --> 00:08:33.638
Mischievous little thing.

00:08:35.556 --> 00:08:36.682
How'd you get in here?

00:09:20.726 --> 00:09:22.311
What is this place?

00:09:40.746 --> 00:09:41.872
Where's the TV?

00:09:51.048 --> 00:09:53.259
And where'd the front door go?

00:10:26.375 --> 00:10:27.460
Oh my God.

00:10:27.960 --> 00:10:29.045
You scared me.

00:10:44.560 --> 00:10:45.436
What?

00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:47.772
- You're a kid.
- And you're a genius.

00:10:49.106 --> 00:10:50.650
I'm Alex. Who are you?

00:10:50.733 --> 00:10:53.069
You're gonna be chatty. Great.

00:10:53.694 --> 00:10:54.695
I'm Yasmin.

00:10:56.530 --> 00:10:58.074
Are you a prisoner too?

00:10:58.574 --> 00:11:00.159
No, I'm on vacation.

00:11:00.785 --> 00:11:01.869
Okay, food's here.

00:11:02.578 --> 00:11:04.246
Hope you like peanut butter.

00:11:04.330 --> 00:11:05.539
I used to.

00:11:06.749 --> 00:11:08.876
Anything in these cabinets is off-limits.

00:11:08.959 --> 00:11:12.088
Don't ever think
Natacha won't miss this piece of popcorn.

00:11:12.171 --> 00:11:14.256
Lenore tells her everything.

00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:15.925
Come out, you evil skin-bag.

00:11:20.680 --> 00:11:22.431
And that's the invisible cat?

00:11:22.515 --> 00:11:25.643
You say cat.
I say Natacha's little spy-beast.

00:11:27.019 --> 00:11:28.270
And Natacha is...

00:11:29.438 --> 00:11:32.108
Keep up. Natacha is the witch.

00:11:32.191 --> 00:11:35.611
Lenore is that wrinkled, hairless thing
that follows you around all day,

00:11:35.695 --> 00:11:37.363
popping up out of nowhere.

00:11:37.446 --> 00:11:39.949
She ratted me out
over a stinking cup of noodles.

00:11:40.032 --> 00:11:41.075
I hate that cat.

00:11:43.494 --> 00:11:46.706
Don't just stand there. Help me
clean this up before Natacha gets home.

00:11:49.083 --> 00:11:50.751
Where is she, Natacha?

00:11:50.835 --> 00:11:52.878
I don't know where she goes
or what she does,

00:11:52.962 --> 00:11:54.547
but she can go anywhere she wants.

00:11:54.630 --> 00:11:57.842
Talk about the ultimate passport,
this apartment is it.

00:11:57.925 --> 00:12:00.803
Come on. We both have work to do.
I'll get you set up.

00:12:00.886 --> 00:12:02.513
Ultimate passport?

00:12:02.596 --> 00:12:05.641
The apartment travels
all over the world, luring kids in.

00:12:06.142 --> 00:12:08.144
I'm from New York. Brooklyn.

00:12:08.227 --> 00:12:11.313
I live in Washington. Washington, DC.

00:12:12.273 --> 00:12:14.650
Or I did before.

00:12:16.444 --> 00:12:18.279
I wonder if we're still in Brooklyn.

00:12:18.362 --> 00:12:19.780
The apartment moves?

00:12:20.364 --> 00:12:21.866
When it needs fresh meat.

00:12:24.702 --> 00:12:26.120
Not literally. Jeez.

00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:29.790
Thought you wrote scary stories.

00:12:31.876 --> 00:12:32.876
Not anymore.

00:12:38.758 --> 00:12:39.758
Ta-da.

00:12:49.143 --> 00:12:50.269
Whoa!

00:12:52.646 --> 00:12:54.398
This is so cool.

00:12:54.899 --> 00:12:57.067
How is...

00:12:57.151 --> 00:12:58.986
I mean, wow!

00:13:00.154 --> 00:13:01.155
It can't be.

00:13:04.158 --> 00:13:05.158
Hello!

00:13:09.330 --> 00:13:10.873
How is this even possible?

00:13:12.124 --> 00:13:14.043
The apartment can do two things.

00:13:16.587 --> 00:13:18.172
It lures suckers like us in,

00:13:19.632 --> 00:13:21.091
and it has room to hold...

00:13:22.051 --> 00:13:23.719
This is so cool.

00:13:23.803 --> 00:13:26.305
...well, anything.

00:13:26.806 --> 00:13:28.974
<i>The Empty Classroom
and Other Creepy Stories.</i>

00:13:29.475 --> 00:13:31.227
<i>Nightdreams and Daymares.</i>

00:13:32.353 --> 00:13:33.521
<i>Whispered Tales</i>.

00:13:34.063 --> 00:13:35.731
She does like stories.

00:13:36.816 --> 00:13:39.777
I thought you said
you weren't into that kinda stuff anymore.

00:13:40.361 --> 00:13:43.697
- I'm not. It's my friend.
- Oh, it's your friend?

00:13:43.781 --> 00:13:46.408
He, uh... he'd like all this stuff.

00:13:47.993 --> 00:13:49.078
But me? Nah.

00:13:49.161 --> 00:13:51.705
- He's, like... he's really lame.
- Yeah, he sounds lame.

00:13:52.998 --> 00:13:54.375
Hmm. Cool. Okay, yeah.

00:13:54.458 --> 00:13:58.671
So she makes me read her
a stupid scary story every night,

00:13:58.754 --> 00:14:01.465
but she says
everything in here's already been read.

00:14:04.635 --> 00:14:05.635
Everything?

00:14:07.930 --> 00:14:09.849
Good thing you're a storyteller.

00:14:11.058 --> 00:14:13.227
She needs you, so get to work.

00:14:13.811 --> 00:14:16.397
You heard her.
She wants a scary story tonight.

00:14:16.981 --> 00:14:19.191
Every day,
write as many stories as you can.

00:14:19.275 --> 00:14:20.192
I don't write...

00:14:20.276 --> 00:14:21.360
Cut the crap.

00:14:21.443 --> 00:14:24.613
I heard you last night,
talking about your Nightbook thingies.

00:14:25.322 --> 00:14:26.490
Oh, those.

00:14:27.324 --> 00:14:29.285
I'm over the whole writing thing.

00:14:29.368 --> 00:14:32.496
Then you better get over getting over it
and crank out some new tales,

00:14:32.580 --> 00:14:33.706
'cause if you don't...

00:14:33.789 --> 00:14:35.583
She'll kill me. I know.

00:14:36.166 --> 00:14:38.168
You'll be lucky if she kills you.

00:14:38.711 --> 00:14:40.212
This is your life now.

00:14:40.713 --> 00:14:45.718
Forget your family. Forget your friends.
Focus on being useful to Natacha.

00:14:45.801 --> 00:14:46.802
You wanna live?

00:14:48.095 --> 00:14:49.805
Write scary stories.

00:14:53.434 --> 00:14:55.227
I'm not gonna write anything,

00:14:55.769 --> 00:14:57.354
'cause I'm getting out of here.

00:14:57.438 --> 00:14:58.647
You're gonna die.

00:15:05.362 --> 00:15:07.907
Come on, open.

00:15:08.407 --> 00:15:09.450
Where are you?

00:15:28.969 --> 00:15:29.969
Another exit.

00:16:11.637 --> 00:16:12.637
Damn.

00:16:14.056 --> 00:16:15.265
Every time.

00:16:15.975 --> 00:16:18.769
You all try and run.

00:16:18.852 --> 00:16:20.396
There's no escape.

00:16:21.647 --> 00:16:22.773
You understand?

00:16:24.942 --> 00:16:26.652
You understand?

00:16:43.210 --> 00:16:48.215
Hmm. Were you purposely making me wait?

00:16:50.092 --> 00:16:52.803
- No. I... I was doing the dishes.
- Sit there.

00:17:05.941 --> 00:17:09.111
Should I just start reading?

00:17:19.788 --> 00:17:21.874
Give me a minute to get settled.

00:17:21.957 --> 00:17:23.208
I mean, honestly!

00:17:31.050 --> 00:17:31.967
What is that?

00:17:32.051 --> 00:17:36.430
Do you know what happens to children
who ask too many questions?

00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:40.267
Do you wanna find out?

00:17:49.651 --> 00:17:51.987
So, Storyteller,

00:17:52.738 --> 00:17:56.200
you tried to escape today.

00:17:57.618 --> 00:18:01.789
Yasmin, too,
had a little rebellious streak.

00:18:02.372 --> 00:18:05.876
But I am curious about one thing.

00:18:06.418 --> 00:18:11.548
Why burn your stories?

00:18:17.888 --> 00:18:19.389
What is that?

00:18:20.516 --> 00:18:22.101
Read. Now.

00:18:29.858 --> 00:18:32.111
"When...
when Todd's best friend Jenny died,

00:18:32.194 --> 00:18:34.530
his heart shattered
into a thousand pieces."

00:18:34.613 --> 00:18:36.865
Shattered heart? I like it already.

00:18:44.123 --> 00:18:46.875
<i>"Everyone avoided
the Foster Playground at night."</i>

00:18:46.959 --> 00:18:48.293
<i>"They all knew the legend."</i>

00:18:48.377 --> 00:18:51.797
<i>"In the hour before daylight,
the dead kids would come out and play."</i>

00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:54.299
Nope. No, no, no. Sorry, nope.

00:18:54.383 --> 00:18:58.220
Everyone knows that ghosts haunt places
that are personal to them,

00:18:58.303 --> 00:19:00.180
not public places.

00:19:00.264 --> 00:19:02.266
Uh, are... are you sure?

00:19:03.725 --> 00:19:05.185
I'm sure.

00:19:07.146 --> 00:19:08.313
Get on with it.

00:19:09.231 --> 00:19:12.776
"<i>Todd walks to the playground.
He gets to the gate."</i>

00:19:13.485 --> 00:19:16.238
<i>"And as soon as his foot
crosses the threshold,</i>

00:19:17.072 --> 00:19:18.240
<i>children...</i>"

00:19:18.782 --> 00:19:22.161
<i>"...squealing, playing."</i>

00:19:24.413 --> 00:19:27.374
"Suddenly, a boy shoots out of the slide."

00:19:27.457 --> 00:19:31.420
<i>"Maybe he's ten or so,
dressed like a newsie from the '20s."</i>

00:19:31.503 --> 00:19:33.338
Rude. You could at least say hi.

00:19:33.422 --> 00:19:34.422
Hey... hey.

00:19:34.798 --> 00:19:36.091
I... I mean... I mean hi.

00:19:37.384 --> 00:19:39.094
I'm looking for my friend, Jenny.

00:19:39.178 --> 00:19:41.805
<i>"...Todd says,
while looking for any sign of her."</i>

00:19:43.182 --> 00:19:45.350
To find her, you have to play.

00:19:45.434 --> 00:19:49.188
"The newsie whistles,
and half a dozen dead kids surround Todd."

00:19:49.271 --> 00:19:53.692
<i>"Their skin is deathly white.
Some of their clothes date back decades."</i>

00:19:53.775 --> 00:19:56.278
"They push Todd on a swing,
higher and higher..."

00:19:56.361 --> 00:19:57.446
Stupid!

00:19:57.529 --> 00:20:01.491
Everyone knows
ghosts don't have actual physical hands,

00:20:01.575 --> 00:20:04.328
so they could never push him on a swing.

00:20:04.411 --> 00:20:05.412
Amateur.

00:20:09.124 --> 00:20:11.960
The playground is...
it's an interdimensional plane,

00:20:12.044 --> 00:20:14.421
a mix between
the spirit world and the real world.

00:20:14.504 --> 00:20:17.299
Oh, so you're a quantum physicist now?

00:20:20.260 --> 00:20:22.638
Whatever. Continue.

00:20:25.766 --> 00:20:27.976
"And then the children laugh,

00:20:28.060 --> 00:20:30.479
and they pull Todd
to a rusty merry-go-round."

00:20:30.562 --> 00:20:34.024
"They spin him around and around,
faster and faster,

00:20:34.107 --> 00:20:35.776
making Todd dizzier and dizzier."

00:20:35.859 --> 00:20:38.320
"Then the ghosts force Todd
onto a seesaw."

00:20:38.403 --> 00:20:39.571
<i>"He holds on tight.</i>"

00:20:39.655 --> 00:20:41.823
<i>"Suddenly, Todd realizes
what they're up to."</i>

00:20:41.907 --> 00:20:45.327
"Any living child still on the playground
when the sun rises

00:20:45.410 --> 00:20:48.247
is cursed to remain there forever."

00:20:48.330 --> 00:20:51.166
"He stumbles towards the gate,
desperate to get out,

00:20:51.250 --> 00:20:54.378
but his world is spinning,
and he's tripping over his own feet."

00:20:54.461 --> 00:20:57.172
"The sun's almost up.
He's nearly out of time."

00:20:57.256 --> 00:20:59.716
"All the ghost children
watch in suspense."

00:21:00.384 --> 00:21:02.010
"Todd's not going to make it."

00:21:02.094 --> 00:21:05.180
"Until suddenly, someone grabs him
and pulls him towards the exit."

00:21:05.264 --> 00:21:06.390
<i>"It's Jenny!"</i>

00:21:07.724 --> 00:21:10.018
"'Jenny, I... I wanted to see you.'"

00:21:10.102 --> 00:21:11.853
"'Get out of here, ' Jenny says,

00:21:11.937 --> 00:21:13.855
<i>not stopping for a happy reunion."</i>

00:21:17.150 --> 00:21:19.903
<i>"Seeing his old friend again
makes Todd's heart hurt."</i>

00:21:19.987 --> 00:21:22.572
I miss you. I don't wanna let you go.

00:21:22.656 --> 00:21:23.782
<i>"But in death,</i>

00:21:23.865 --> 00:21:26.785
<i>Jenny discovered something
that Todd is about to learn."</i>

00:21:26.868 --> 00:21:28.662
Friends never let go, Todd.

00:21:30.205 --> 00:21:32.040
"Because friends never forget."

00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:34.835
I'll always be with you,

00:21:35.669 --> 00:21:36.669
here.

00:21:56.898 --> 00:21:58.442
A happy ending?

00:21:59.860 --> 00:22:02.863
Are you out of your mind?

00:22:02.946 --> 00:22:04.740
No happy endings, you fool.

00:22:08.118 --> 00:22:11.496
Jenny... Jenny's dead. She's... she's trapped
on the playground forever.

00:22:11.580 --> 00:22:13.999
It's not happy for her.

00:22:14.624 --> 00:22:17.294
Ghostly hands go on Todd's back.

00:22:17.377 --> 00:22:19.671
He... he... he glances behind him,

00:22:19.755 --> 00:22:22.007
and he's pulled into the playground.

00:22:22.090 --> 00:22:24.676
He... he screams for help, but it's no use.

00:22:24.760 --> 00:22:27.846
His ghostly soul is trapped there
to this very day.

00:22:43.070 --> 00:22:46.239
Happy endings are a dangerous thing.

00:22:47.157 --> 00:22:48.283
Never forget that.

00:22:49.576 --> 00:22:53.163
Did you at least like the story?
I mean, until the ending?

00:22:53.246 --> 00:22:57.084
Writers, always so insecure.

00:22:57.167 --> 00:22:59.503
You're still alive, aren't you?

00:23:11.264 --> 00:23:14.226
I'm mystified by you, Storyteller.

00:23:15.560 --> 00:23:21.400
This beautiful darkness
dances inside your brain.

00:23:22.025 --> 00:23:23.693
You should celebrate it.

00:23:24.861 --> 00:23:26.071
But you run from it.

00:23:26.571 --> 00:23:27.571
Why?

00:23:29.658 --> 00:23:30.742
I just...

00:23:32.869 --> 00:23:35.122
I... I wanna be like everyone else.

00:23:38.959 --> 00:23:40.544
You wrote all this today?

00:23:40.627 --> 00:23:43.922
Uh, I had... I had trouble writing today.

00:23:44.506 --> 00:23:45.507
What?

00:23:45.590 --> 00:23:49.428
It's just hard to concentrate
with someone staring at me all day.

00:23:52.973 --> 00:23:57.102
I told you, show him the library
and then get out.

00:23:57.185 --> 00:23:58.061
Wait! Wait!

00:24:00.230 --> 00:24:01.481
Not her! Not her.

00:24:03.650 --> 00:24:05.402
You were disturbing him.

00:24:05.485 --> 00:24:09.322
It is very important that he writes.

00:24:09.406 --> 00:24:11.992
You know how important it is.

00:24:13.160 --> 00:24:14.411
Wait!

00:24:17.456 --> 00:24:19.291
It... it wasn't her fault either.

00:24:23.378 --> 00:24:27.048
Well, if it wasn't Yasmin's fault,
and it wasn't Lenore's fault,

00:24:27.132 --> 00:24:30.302
then whose fault was it?

00:24:31.761 --> 00:24:35.098
Mine. I'll... I'll write faster.

00:24:36.766 --> 00:24:39.102
Lenore won't bother you again.

00:24:39.603 --> 00:24:41.605
No more excuses, Storyteller.

00:24:50.947 --> 00:24:52.866
Are you okay?

00:24:54.367 --> 00:24:55.535
Leave me alone.

00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:58.705
Yasmin, I'm sorry.

00:24:58.788 --> 00:25:01.333
I wasn't trying to get you
in any kind of trouble.

00:25:01.416 --> 00:25:05.378
Yasmin, I'm sorry. I didn't know
about the "no happy endings" thing.

00:25:07.589 --> 00:25:09.674
Todd shouldn't have gone back for Jenny.

00:25:11.635 --> 00:25:13.970
- He was stupid.
- No, he wasn't.

00:25:14.054 --> 00:25:16.306
He was her friend,
and that's what friends do.

00:25:16.806 --> 00:25:18.517
Maybe in fairy tales.

00:25:18.600 --> 00:25:21.269
But in here? She's right, you know.

00:25:22.479 --> 00:25:24.189
Happy endings don't exist.

00:25:44.084 --> 00:25:45.084
What?

00:25:45.418 --> 00:25:46.836
What... what is that?

00:26:06.356 --> 00:26:07.649
This place sucks.

00:26:13.154 --> 00:26:16.491
She wants stories?
Fine. I'll give her some stories.

00:26:27.419 --> 00:26:29.588
Yes! Yes, a haunted desk!

00:26:29.671 --> 00:26:32.757
Haunted by the spirit
of somebody who died working at it.

00:26:32.841 --> 00:26:35.468
No, no, it's stupid.
They're gonna think it's stupid.

00:26:35.552 --> 00:26:37.220
How long you been here for?

00:26:37.721 --> 00:26:38.972
Looks like a while.

00:26:39.681 --> 00:26:40.974
How'd they get you?

00:26:41.057 --> 00:26:43.893
They got me
with a piece of pie and <i>Lost Boys</i>.

00:26:51.568 --> 00:26:53.028
Once upon a time,

00:26:53.570 --> 00:26:55.780
Alex stared up at the ceiling.

00:26:56.281 --> 00:26:58.742
Then the ceiling fell on him

00:26:59.909 --> 00:27:01.828
and put him out of his misery.

00:27:02.454 --> 00:27:03.454
The end.

00:27:09.586 --> 00:27:10.629
What's up there?

00:27:46.498 --> 00:27:48.208
It's the oldest book in here.

00:27:48.958 --> 00:27:51.544
This thing's gotta be,
like, a thousand years old.

00:27:56.508 --> 00:28:00.095
<i>"Kinder und Hausmärchen."</i>

00:28:06.184 --> 00:28:07.352
"Rumpelstiltskin."

00:28:11.981 --> 00:28:13.566
"Sleeping Beauty"?

00:28:15.318 --> 00:28:16.318
Wow!

00:28:20.115 --> 00:28:21.449
"Hansel and Gretel."

00:28:23.868 --> 00:28:25.745
Is that a ballpoint pen?

00:29:00.029 --> 00:29:01.531
Wow. <i>"Frankenstein."</i>

00:29:10.248 --> 00:29:11.416
Oh my God.

00:29:13.501 --> 00:29:14.501
It's writing.

00:29:17.380 --> 00:29:21.009
"If I don't make it out of here,
I need someone to know what happened,

00:29:21.092 --> 00:29:23.720
even if it's only
the characters in these books."

00:29:23.803 --> 00:29:25.221
"I saw a unicorn."

00:29:25.847 --> 00:29:28.183
"People said they didn't exist,
but there it was."

00:29:28.266 --> 00:29:32.437
"I followed it into this apartment,
and now I'm trapped by a witch."

00:29:33.021 --> 00:29:34.564
"She's mean and scary."

00:29:46.409 --> 00:29:49.120
"I just have to do
what the witch tells me to

00:29:49.204 --> 00:29:51.164
until Mom and Dad find me."

00:29:51.247 --> 00:29:54.209
"There are other kids here.
Most of them are nice."

00:29:54.292 --> 00:29:57.170
"I'm scared, but at least I'm not alone."

00:30:03.343 --> 00:30:04.511
Dinner in an hour.

00:30:04.594 --> 00:30:06.179
Hey, Yasmin,

00:30:06.805 --> 00:30:08.139
do you like unicorns?

00:30:09.390 --> 00:30:11.518
Yeah, 'cause that's so me.

00:30:11.601 --> 00:30:15.230
Oh, I thought maybe
that's how she got you.

00:30:16.022 --> 00:30:17.357
Natacha, I mean.

00:30:18.066 --> 00:30:20.026
You're right. It's none of my business.

00:30:20.109 --> 00:30:24.072
And I bet you weren't lured in
by a stupid movie and a piece of pie.

00:30:24.656 --> 00:30:26.115
Stupid pumpkin pie.

00:30:28.743 --> 00:30:29.786
Fine.

00:30:30.954 --> 00:30:32.288
It was doro wat.

00:30:33.623 --> 00:30:35.333
What the hell is doro wat?

00:30:36.459 --> 00:30:41.214
Chicken, onions caramelized
in spiced butter, paprika, garlic,

00:30:41.297 --> 00:30:43.508
ginger, berbere spice.

00:30:44.717 --> 00:30:45.717
My<i> āyatē...</i>

00:30:46.594 --> 00:30:49.556
My grandmother and I
used to make it before she died.

00:30:50.807 --> 00:30:53.309
We even grew all the herbs
and veggies ourselves.

00:30:54.727 --> 00:30:57.146
Anyways, I smelled doro wat,

00:30:57.230 --> 00:31:01.442
and I just so badly wanted
to see my <i>āyatē </i>again.

00:31:05.697 --> 00:31:06.781
But it wasn't her.

00:31:08.199 --> 00:31:09.325
It was a witch,

00:31:09.409 --> 00:31:11.911
an evil, wicked witch.

00:31:14.664 --> 00:31:16.332
How's that for a happy ending?

00:31:33.683 --> 00:31:35.768
<i>"With the fangs came the hunger,</i>

00:31:35.852 --> 00:31:38.396
and Katie discovered
that her hunch was right."

00:31:38.479 --> 00:31:41.482
"To a vampire,
blood does taste like candy."

00:31:41.566 --> 00:31:46.738
Everybody knows
it takes two days to grow full fangs.

00:31:46.821 --> 00:31:48.239
You're stupid.

00:31:54.412 --> 00:31:56.664
Here, Lenore, a peace offering.

00:32:05.715 --> 00:32:06.966
Story.

00:32:09.093 --> 00:32:12.263
There's gotta be more writing
from that Unicorn Girl.

00:32:12.347 --> 00:32:15.183
"...but it's too late.
The roller coaster plunges down the drop."

00:32:15.266 --> 00:32:18.478
"Steel snaps, metal shrieks,

00:32:20.355 --> 00:32:21.689
humans scream,

00:32:22.649 --> 00:32:25.818
and the grim reaper's dog laughs
at the carnage."

00:32:26.569 --> 00:32:29.739
The grim reaper doesn't have a pet.

00:32:30.406 --> 00:32:31.950
Isn't that right, Lenore?

00:32:46.047 --> 00:32:47.757
This is gonna take forever!

00:33:04.607 --> 00:33:08.277
"They saw their son's footprints
in the snow, leading into the woods."

00:33:08.361 --> 00:33:11.280
"Then they saw
a pair of smaller footprints,

00:33:11.364 --> 00:33:12.532
teddy-bear-sized."

00:33:13.574 --> 00:33:16.035
"And they never saw
their precious son again."

00:33:16.536 --> 00:33:19.372
Possessed teddy bears? Really?

00:33:19.956 --> 00:33:21.874
Took me right out of the story.

00:33:21.958 --> 00:33:26.045
Every good story hints at truth.

00:33:26.629 --> 00:33:29.799
The more truth,
the more powerful the story.

00:33:30.591 --> 00:33:34.512
From now on, get your facts straight.

00:33:46.899 --> 00:33:47.899
Yes!

00:33:50.820 --> 00:33:53.281
"I don't know how long I've been here."

00:33:53.364 --> 00:33:56.367
"I still have the necklace
Mom and Dad gave me."

00:33:56.951 --> 00:33:59.245
"I used to touch it to remember them,

00:33:59.328 --> 00:34:00.955
but I stopped."

00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:02.665
"It made me cry."

00:34:03.166 --> 00:34:04.584
"I'm tired of crying."

00:34:07.628 --> 00:34:09.881
"I have what I need to escape tonight."

00:34:09.964 --> 00:34:12.675
"I'm finally going to see them again,
Mom and Dad."

00:34:12.759 --> 00:34:14.635
"I wonder if they'll even know me."

00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:16.596
"Can people forget their kids?"

00:34:19.015 --> 00:34:20.391
- "Escape"?
- Alex?

00:34:22.935 --> 00:34:24.604
Oh my God!

00:34:29.067 --> 00:34:31.277
You did not just throw a book at me!

00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:33.154
Uh, no. You just surprised me.

00:34:33.237 --> 00:34:34.238
I dropped it.

00:34:34.322 --> 00:34:36.282
Hold on. I'm coming down.

00:34:38.117 --> 00:34:41.954
Hey, Yasmin,
wait until you see what I found.

00:34:43.998 --> 00:34:46.250
Hey, what's wrong?

00:34:58.763 --> 00:35:00.515
This is Natacha's night nursery.

00:35:00.598 --> 00:35:01.641
Night nursery?

00:35:01.724 --> 00:35:04.352
Yeah. Sunlight is bad for magical plants.

00:35:04.435 --> 00:35:05.435
Come on.

00:35:22.912 --> 00:35:24.539
What's all this for?

00:35:25.123 --> 00:35:27.667
Ingredients mostly, for Natacha's potions.

00:35:32.505 --> 00:35:34.423
Don't touch anything.

00:35:39.053 --> 00:35:40.053
What's that?

00:35:40.596 --> 00:35:41.848
Demon silk.

00:35:41.931 --> 00:35:44.058
Enough questions. Help me with this.

00:35:44.142 --> 00:35:47.186
I watered the vine with rat's blood
instead of bat's blood.

00:35:47.270 --> 00:35:50.690
Now, Shredder eggs are growing on it.
If one of them hatches,

00:35:50.773 --> 00:35:53.484
it can destroy the night nursery,
and Natacha will kill me.

00:35:57.488 --> 00:35:59.949
I'm taking care of it, Lenore.

00:36:22.096 --> 00:36:26.100
Okay.
Put it gently on the ground.

00:36:27.143 --> 00:36:28.644
Be careful. Don't jostle it.

00:36:29.395 --> 00:36:30.229
Be careful.

00:36:35.818 --> 00:36:37.737
Okay, now what?

00:36:38.863 --> 00:36:41.449
Stomp it as hard as you can.

00:36:48.331 --> 00:36:49.332
Good.

00:36:55.671 --> 00:36:58.132
Where's the blue mist come from?
Do you make it?

00:36:58.216 --> 00:37:00.259
The mist,
do you think it keeps Natacha young?

00:37:00.343 --> 00:37:03.054
It's none of our business.

00:37:03.137 --> 00:37:06.098
I mean, she's really pretty,
but her books are ancient,

00:37:06.182 --> 00:37:08.601
and the apartment looks like
a granny decorated it.

00:37:17.401 --> 00:37:20.613
No!

00:37:25.326 --> 00:37:26.911
I thought for sure it was gonna...

00:37:45.429 --> 00:37:47.682
No!

00:37:49.850 --> 00:37:52.103
Did you get it?

00:37:52.979 --> 00:37:54.105
It's getting away!

00:37:56.774 --> 00:37:57.858
- No! No!
- No!

00:37:58.651 --> 00:38:01.696
It's cutting down the Shredder eggs!
Stomp on them!

00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:17.003
Sorry.

00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:22.675
That's all the Shredder eggs.

00:38:24.677 --> 00:38:27.096
There it is!
Don't let it get away!

00:38:32.935 --> 00:38:34.478
Alex, look out!

00:38:37.481 --> 00:38:38.481
Thanks, Yas.

00:38:38.899 --> 00:38:40.693
I mean, Yasmin.

00:38:43.070 --> 00:38:45.239
Wait. Where is it?

00:38:56.917 --> 00:39:00.004
We need to find it and kill it
before it destroys the whole place.

00:39:08.637 --> 00:39:10.598
Well, that's just great!

00:39:45.633 --> 00:39:47.510
Get it off me!

00:39:52.640 --> 00:39:54.183
Oh God!

00:39:54.266 --> 00:39:57.645
Oh God.

00:39:57.728 --> 00:39:59.855
I'm okay. I'm okay. I'm okay.

00:40:19.750 --> 00:40:20.918
It's gone.

00:40:21.669 --> 00:40:23.921
I don't know where it went.

00:40:44.442 --> 00:40:45.442
Let's go!

00:40:47.445 --> 00:40:48.654
- Come on!
- Wait.

00:41:11.635 --> 00:41:12.636
Gotcha.

00:41:13.512 --> 00:41:15.014
Now let's get out of here.

00:41:54.512 --> 00:42:00.392
You useless little twits.

00:42:01.477 --> 00:42:04.647
You've been misbehaving in my garden.

00:42:05.773 --> 00:42:10.653
This will hurt you
far more than it hurts me.

00:42:10.736 --> 00:42:13.781
Please, I... I can explain.

00:42:13.864 --> 00:42:16.617
And I would let you

00:42:16.700 --> 00:42:17.952
if I cared.

00:42:19.537 --> 00:42:21.705
Do try to keep your eyes open.

00:42:22.748 --> 00:42:25.042
I would hate to have to start over.

00:42:30.714 --> 00:42:35.344
Can't you do anything right?
I said keep your eyes open!

00:42:41.850 --> 00:42:43.185
It was my fault!

00:42:44.311 --> 00:42:46.272
I begged Yasmin to take me to the nursery.

00:42:46.355 --> 00:42:50.234
I thought the creepy plants might help me
think of something cool to write about.

00:42:51.610 --> 00:42:54.780
She made me promise
not to touch anything, but I did.

00:42:57.241 --> 00:42:59.535
Don't hurt her. Please.

00:43:11.755 --> 00:43:14.925
That is very brave of you, Storyteller,

00:43:15.676 --> 00:43:18.345
to lie right to my face.

00:43:28.439 --> 00:43:29.857
I almost killed you.

00:43:32.484 --> 00:43:35.070
If I didn't need you
to clean up the mess, I would've.

00:43:35.821 --> 00:43:37.323
No more chances.

00:43:43.329 --> 00:43:46.123
Yas, you okay?

00:43:46.707 --> 00:43:47.707
Look,

00:43:49.168 --> 00:43:51.211
I'm sorry I got you involved.

00:43:53.380 --> 00:43:56.884
From now on,
you help yourself. I'll help myself.

00:43:57.384 --> 00:44:02.681
Yas, we can get out of here, together.

00:44:02.765 --> 00:44:04.141
It's not Yas.

00:44:09.021 --> 00:44:10.105
It's Yasmin.

00:45:10.999 --> 00:45:13.210
Shredder!

00:45:28.559 --> 00:45:30.227
Gotcha!

00:45:30.310 --> 00:45:32.146
Okay.

00:45:36.692 --> 00:45:39.111
Here we go. Okay.

00:45:39.653 --> 00:45:40.529
One...

00:45:40.612 --> 00:45:42.656
...two,

00:45:44.074 --> 00:45:45.074
three!

00:45:50.706 --> 00:45:54.084
Get... get off me! Get off me! Get off!

00:45:55.335 --> 00:45:57.421
No! No! No!

00:46:10.017 --> 00:46:11.059
Oh my God.

00:46:11.143 --> 00:46:13.771
No! No! No! No! No! No! No!

00:46:17.858 --> 00:46:19.693
Ugh! My Nightbooks.

00:46:41.632 --> 00:46:43.133
Watch out.

00:46:43.217 --> 00:46:44.802
Lenore's here somewhere.

00:46:45.552 --> 00:46:48.222
- She's hurting.
- You look terrible.

00:46:48.806 --> 00:46:52.267
- You've been here all night?
- Yeah, all night.

00:46:53.727 --> 00:46:56.814
I made this.
It'll help with the scrapes and cuts.

00:47:00.651 --> 00:47:03.153
You made this for me?

00:47:04.780 --> 00:47:06.532
Yeah, it's my own concoction.

00:47:07.658 --> 00:47:11.036
It's a kind of aloe from a harpy plant,
some dried corpse-hair vine.

00:47:13.956 --> 00:47:16.375
That's good. Really good.

00:47:16.458 --> 00:47:17.458
Thanks.

00:47:19.586 --> 00:47:20.963
Uh, Lenore?

00:47:22.214 --> 00:47:25.425
Come here.

00:47:27.469 --> 00:47:29.137
Look what Yas made for us.

00:47:29.221 --> 00:47:30.764
Didn't make it for her.

00:47:31.515 --> 00:47:33.892
There you go, all better.

00:47:33.976 --> 00:47:35.394
It's okay. Here we go.

00:47:35.477 --> 00:47:36.477
No.

00:47:43.068 --> 00:47:44.319
I'm in trouble.

00:47:44.403 --> 00:47:46.697
I... I... I don't have any stories.

00:47:46.780 --> 00:47:49.908
What do you mean you don't have any?
You said you had a bunch of them.

00:47:49.992 --> 00:47:52.452
I did, but a Shredder,
it got into my room.

00:47:52.536 --> 00:47:56.498
And I killed it,
but it destroyed all of my Nightbooks,

00:47:56.582 --> 00:47:57.749
except for this one.

00:47:57.833 --> 00:48:00.377
I was reading to Natacha
from those Nightbooks.

00:48:00.460 --> 00:48:04.464
I've got nothing now.
I... I have to escape. I have no choice!

00:48:04.548 --> 00:48:08.010
There are two ways out. The front door
where you came in and the back door...

00:48:08.093 --> 00:48:12.347
The back door! It goes outside.
I saw Natacha go through there. There's...

00:48:12.431 --> 00:48:15.183
But Natacha's the only one
that has the keys to that door.

00:48:15.267 --> 00:48:18.061
You need to get over
this escape nonsense and write something.

00:48:18.145 --> 00:48:20.105
- I've been trying!
- Try harder!

00:48:20.188 --> 00:48:21.815
I can't write!

00:48:23.025 --> 00:48:26.153
Look, Natacha will find out tonight.

00:48:26.236 --> 00:48:29.531
- I'll be useless to her. She'll kill me.
- She won't just kill you.

00:48:37.331 --> 00:48:38.707
There were four of us.

00:48:38.790 --> 00:48:41.585
Eli, Little Hwan, Claire,

00:48:42.252 --> 00:48:43.252
and me.

00:48:45.047 --> 00:48:48.842
Hwan was too young, but the rest of us
took turns reading to Natacha.

00:48:50.135 --> 00:48:52.763
Afterwards,
we'd all huddle together at night

00:48:54.514 --> 00:48:56.183
and dream about escaping.

00:48:56.892 --> 00:48:59.353
You're saying these are...

00:49:03.148 --> 00:49:05.108
Last night, I almost joined them.

00:49:06.693 --> 00:49:08.946
One day, the kitchen sink got clogged.

00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:12.199
Natacha's magic couldn't fix it.

00:49:15.369 --> 00:49:18.956
That's because I blocked the pipe myself
with starstell moss.

00:49:21.625 --> 00:49:23.210
The moss resists magic.

00:49:25.921 --> 00:49:29.424
I wanted to force Natacha
to call the plumber.

00:49:33.011 --> 00:49:35.806
I taped a note under the sink
for him to find,

00:49:35.889 --> 00:49:37.432
begging him to get help.

00:49:38.809 --> 00:49:39.809
But...

00:49:41.853 --> 00:49:42.980
he never came.

00:49:44.982 --> 00:49:47.192
Natacha found the note, didn't she?

00:49:47.275 --> 00:49:51.154
Claire spent her last moments
convincing Natacha that she did it...

00:49:53.198 --> 00:49:54.198
not me.

00:49:57.119 --> 00:50:00.038
Claire lied to save me.

00:50:02.499 --> 00:50:05.419
Like... you did.

00:50:07.796 --> 00:50:09.589
'Cause that's what friends do.

00:50:14.678 --> 00:50:18.348
I used to love writing scary stories,

00:50:18.432 --> 00:50:22.519
but then I decided to stop.

00:50:22.602 --> 00:50:25.230
And now that I have to write...

00:50:27.858 --> 00:50:30.235
the... the ideas won't come to me anymore.

00:50:39.244 --> 00:50:40.704
Did Hwan wear a watch?

00:50:42.581 --> 00:50:45.125
Yeah.
A big, blue plastic one. Why?

00:50:45.709 --> 00:50:49.671
- And Claire, those earrings?
- They were her aunt's.

00:50:51.048 --> 00:50:52.048
Why?

00:50:53.675 --> 00:50:55.761
There's a way out of this place.

00:50:55.844 --> 00:50:59.306
- "I have what I need to escape tonight."
- "Escape," Yasmin.

00:50:59.389 --> 00:51:02.059
"I'm finally gonna see them again,
Mom and Dad."

00:51:02.142 --> 00:51:04.352
"I wonder if they'll remember me."

00:51:04.436 --> 00:51:06.396
"Can people forget their kids?"

00:51:07.856 --> 00:51:09.816
Unicorn Girl never took this off,

00:51:09.900 --> 00:51:12.319
and none of the kids in the cabinet
are wearing it.

00:51:15.530 --> 00:51:18.617
You're right.
And if she's not in the cabinet, then...

00:51:18.700 --> 00:51:20.911
She did it. She escaped.

00:51:20.994 --> 00:51:24.039
I've been piecing together her notes.
There are bits here and there.

00:51:24.122 --> 00:51:27.042
She hid them throughout the books,
so in case Natacha found out...

00:51:27.125 --> 00:51:28.960
She wouldn't know her full plan.

00:51:32.297 --> 00:51:33.673
Okay, what's your plan?

00:51:35.675 --> 00:51:38.178
Your plan sucks.
We're not gonna find this today.

00:51:38.261 --> 00:51:40.013
You need to write a story for tonight.

00:51:40.097 --> 00:51:41.807
Like right now.

00:51:41.890 --> 00:51:43.183
What do we do?

00:51:43.266 --> 00:51:46.770
It'd take, like, a thousand years
to search all these books.

00:51:49.940 --> 00:51:51.024
A thousand years.

00:51:52.317 --> 00:51:53.985
The thousand-year-old book.

00:51:55.320 --> 00:51:57.572
The pen marks in the old book!

00:52:10.043 --> 00:52:12.838
Come on. Please be here.

00:52:15.465 --> 00:52:17.634
Is this the original "Hansel and Gretel"?

00:52:17.717 --> 00:52:19.261
<i>Grimm's Fairy Tales</i>.

00:52:19.344 --> 00:52:21.263
That's totally unrealistic.

00:52:21.346 --> 00:52:24.057
No one would just eat candy
off of a strange house.

00:52:27.727 --> 00:52:29.437
I was right! More writing!

00:52:29.521 --> 00:52:31.690
It's a recipe
for a sleeping potion.

00:52:34.359 --> 00:52:35.443
"It smells awful."

00:52:35.527 --> 00:52:38.572
"I need to figure out
how to hide the stink so she'll drink it."

00:52:38.655 --> 00:52:41.825
"I'm so close.
I'll put her to sleep and steal her keys."

00:52:41.908 --> 00:52:43.368
"I wish I had magic."

00:52:43.451 --> 00:52:46.788
"I'd turn her into a toad or a snail
and laugh at her all day long."

00:52:46.872 --> 00:52:50.167
"Then I would turn her into a centipede
and rip off her legs."

00:52:50.250 --> 00:52:51.960
"All hundred legs,

00:52:52.043 --> 00:52:53.044
one at a time."

00:52:55.463 --> 00:52:58.175
I'll keep looking.
You have to write a story.

00:52:59.801 --> 00:53:01.845
I don't think I can.

00:53:01.928 --> 00:53:04.806
You're the only one who can.
You've gotta buy us more time.

00:53:06.016 --> 00:53:07.559
You don't think I'm weird?

00:53:11.479 --> 00:53:12.479
That I...

00:53:13.857 --> 00:53:16.234
I like to write scary stories?

00:53:17.903 --> 00:53:18.903
Weird?

00:53:20.363 --> 00:53:21.823
Who called you that?

00:53:23.617 --> 00:53:25.702
Well, they're right. You are weird.

00:53:27.370 --> 00:53:28.788
I mean, look at you.

00:53:30.665 --> 00:53:34.377
But the thing that makes you weird
makes them ordinary.

00:53:35.253 --> 00:53:38.131
And no one likes to be ordinary.
Ordinary sucks.

00:53:38.215 --> 00:53:41.551
So ordinary people are gonna try
and take that away from you...

00:53:43.553 --> 00:53:45.180
by calling you names like

00:53:46.932 --> 00:53:49.476
- Tryhard or...
- Creepshow.

00:53:52.103 --> 00:53:54.231
Yeah, or Creepshow.

00:53:58.360 --> 00:53:59.444
Thanks, Yasmin.

00:54:02.739 --> 00:54:03.739
It's Yas.

00:54:07.118 --> 00:54:08.745
Do you have those ingredients?

00:54:09.704 --> 00:54:11.122
Yeah. Yeah, I do.

00:54:11.206 --> 00:54:13.792
But she's right. Suckleweed stinks.

00:54:14.960 --> 00:54:16.586
How did she mask the smell?

00:54:17.087 --> 00:54:19.297
She must've found another ingredient.

00:54:19.798 --> 00:54:22.634
The only other person
who would know is Natacha,

00:54:22.717 --> 00:54:24.219
but she would never tell us.

00:54:25.929 --> 00:54:27.138
I do have an idea.

00:54:27.806 --> 00:54:30.058
<i>I could write a story
to trick her into giving us</i>

00:54:30.141 --> 00:54:32.269
<i>the final ingredient
of the sleeping potion.</i>

00:54:32.352 --> 00:54:35.397
<i>You know what happens
if she figures out what we're up to?</i>

00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:37.399
<i>I know what happens
if we don't try.</i>

00:54:37.482 --> 00:54:39.317
<i>What's the name of the story?</i>

00:54:45.156 --> 00:54:46.408
Not that one.

00:54:47.158 --> 00:54:48.702
You're happy with that one.

00:54:51.037 --> 00:54:52.580
I don't like you happy.

00:54:53.164 --> 00:54:56.751
I want a story that'll make you squirm.

00:54:58.086 --> 00:54:59.879
Here's the story I want.

00:55:01.589 --> 00:55:04.718
Why burn your Nightbooks?

00:55:04.801 --> 00:55:05.635
Uh...

00:55:05.719 --> 00:55:07.762
You thought I forgot about that,
didn't you?

00:55:08.805 --> 00:55:09.723
I was...

00:55:09.806 --> 00:55:13.476
I was... I just... I was...

00:55:19.274 --> 00:55:21.109
Uh... Oh my God.

00:55:21.693 --> 00:55:23.611
I'm so sorry. I'm so stupid.

00:55:23.695 --> 00:55:26.239
Yes, you are.
I've only been saying that for years.

00:55:26.323 --> 00:55:27.866
Now you get it.

00:55:27.949 --> 00:55:29.409
Where was I?

00:55:29.492 --> 00:55:31.411
You were about to tell me
to start reading.

00:55:31.494 --> 00:55:34.497
Oh yes.
Well then, what are you waiting for?

00:55:34.581 --> 00:55:35.581
Get on with it.

00:55:41.671 --> 00:55:44.299
"For generations,
the evil sorcerer of Quantel

00:55:44.382 --> 00:55:48.136
sent children to mine jewels
from the mouth of the great monster."

00:55:54.351 --> 00:55:55.685
<i>"A thousand years ago,</i>

00:55:55.769 --> 00:55:58.646
<i>the evil sorcerer had a chance
to kill the odious beast,</i>

00:55:58.730 --> 00:56:03.234
<i>but instead he used a powerful potion
to keep the monster unconscious,</i>

00:56:03.318 --> 00:56:05.070
<i>to make himself rich."</i>

00:56:05.153 --> 00:56:08.198
"Odious." Good word.

00:56:10.408 --> 00:56:12.911
"Every morning,
the sorcerer funneled his potion

00:56:12.994 --> 00:56:15.288
<i>down the monster's fifth ear,</i>

00:56:15.372 --> 00:56:17.582
<i>and the beast remained unconscious."</i>

00:56:17.665 --> 00:56:19.876
<i>"The recipe was as old as time."</i>

00:56:19.959 --> 00:56:23.129
"Dissolved rat's bones,
dry-aged widow orchid,

00:56:23.213 --> 00:56:25.215
powdered beetle shells."

00:56:25.298 --> 00:56:29.344
"But the most important ingredient,
however, was bindweed."

00:56:29.928 --> 00:56:31.346
"Bindweed was the only thing

00:56:31.429 --> 00:56:33.973
that could hide
the powerful stench of the potion."

00:56:34.057 --> 00:56:37.852
"Without it, the rancid smell
would rouse the great monster."

00:56:37.936 --> 00:56:41.314
"But one day, the sorcerer
went to harvest more bindweed,

00:56:41.398 --> 00:56:45.235
and he discovered that the entire field
had withered and died."

00:56:45.735 --> 00:56:48.113
"The potion smelled worse than ever."

00:56:48.196 --> 00:56:51.366
"Putrid, rank, malodorous..."

00:56:51.449 --> 00:56:54.244
Oh, yes, yes, yes. Understood. It stinks.

00:56:54.327 --> 00:56:59.457
<i>"The sorcerer would have to kill
the great monster once and for all."</i>

00:56:59.541 --> 00:57:03.336
<i>"He reluctantly raised his mighty staff
to kill the beast,</i>

00:57:03.420 --> 00:57:07.048
<i>but a peasant girl came to him
and promised a solution to his problem."</i>

00:57:07.132 --> 00:57:10.677
I know a replacement for bindweed.
Your jewel harvest can continue.

00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:13.555
Foolish child.
You know nothing of real magic.

00:57:13.638 --> 00:57:17.016
I can prove it.
And if I do, I want a bag of jewels.

00:57:17.517 --> 00:57:20.270
If it works, you will get two bags.

00:57:20.353 --> 00:57:23.606
If not, you will give me your life.

00:57:24.691 --> 00:57:26.526
<i>"The peasant girl stepped forward</i>

00:57:26.609 --> 00:57:29.821
<i>and poured a mysterious dark liquid
into the jug."</i>

00:57:31.364 --> 00:57:33.575
<i>"The evil sorcerer sniffed the potion."</i>

00:57:33.658 --> 00:57:36.703
<i>"The smell disappeared.
The sorcerer couldn't believe it."</i>

00:57:37.287 --> 00:57:40.874
<i>"It smelled like daisies,
roses, lilacs on a spring morning..."</i>

00:57:44.544 --> 00:57:46.504
"The evil sorcerer
poured the potion

00:57:46.588 --> 00:57:48.965
into the monster's ear and waited."

00:57:49.048 --> 00:57:52.051
- "- The beast let out a long...
- ...grumble

00:57:52.135 --> 00:57:53.928
then went still again."

00:57:54.012 --> 00:57:59.058
"Yes! But the peasant girl had removed
more than just the smell from the potion."

00:57:59.684 --> 00:58:02.312
"She'd also erased all of its magic."

00:58:02.896 --> 00:58:05.648
"The sorcerer's potion
was rendered useless."

00:58:06.316 --> 00:58:08.860
<i>"The peasant girl nodded
to something behind him."</i>

00:58:10.820 --> 00:58:13.823
<i>"The eyes
of the great monster were open."</i>

00:58:13.907 --> 00:58:15.658
<i>"The sorcerer shrieked."</i>

00:58:15.742 --> 00:58:18.703
<i>"The peasant girl
watched it all, smiling."</i>

00:58:18.786 --> 00:58:22.665
<i>"The evil sorcerer had sent
her baby brother into that cave</i>,

00:58:22.749 --> 00:58:24.334
<i>and he never returned."</i>

00:58:24.834 --> 00:58:26.878
"The peasant girl
cared nothing about jewels."

00:58:26.961 --> 00:58:28.880
"She got what she wanted, revenge."

00:58:28.963 --> 00:58:30.381
"And so she walked away

00:58:30.465 --> 00:58:34.385
as the monster's sharp teeth
chomped down on the shrieking sorcerer,

00:58:34.469 --> 00:58:36.971
silencing him forever."

00:58:39.015 --> 00:58:42.352
"Just as the peasant girl
thought she'd gotten away with it all,

00:58:42.435 --> 00:58:44.229
a black shadow loomed over her."

00:58:44.312 --> 00:58:47.440
"It was the monster's giant foot,
right above her."

00:58:47.524 --> 00:58:48.816
"Splat."

00:58:48.900 --> 00:58:49.900
"The end."

00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:51.694
"And not a happy one."

00:58:54.155 --> 00:58:55.155
Bindweed?

00:58:55.865 --> 00:58:58.409
Yeah, me and Yasmin researched for hours.

00:58:58.493 --> 00:59:01.079
I know how important it is
to get all the details right...

00:59:01.162 --> 00:59:03.581
- No.
- No?

00:59:05.875 --> 00:59:06.709
No.

00:59:08.962 --> 00:59:09.796
I...

00:59:09.879 --> 00:59:12.090
Of course I made up
the potion's ingredients,

00:59:12.173 --> 00:59:16.386
but I was sure that bindweed hides odors.

00:59:17.804 --> 00:59:21.391
- I really thought we got it right.
- Well, there's your mistake.

00:59:21.474 --> 00:59:22.684
You worked with her.

00:59:23.643 --> 00:59:27.355
Bindweed keeps liquid from separating.

00:59:29.440 --> 00:59:32.902
Everyone knows cinaroot hides smells,

00:59:32.986 --> 00:59:34.988
not bindweed.

00:59:38.074 --> 00:59:40.827
Cinaroot, of course.

00:59:44.080 --> 00:59:46.958
Is that cinaroot with an "S" or a "C"?

01:00:03.808 --> 01:00:07.270

Okay.

01:00:20.742 --> 01:00:22.410
Let's do some science stuff.

01:00:37.508 --> 01:00:39.302
Tonight, we're getting out of here.

01:01:16.756 --> 01:01:18.174
Good night, Natacha.

01:01:23.262 --> 01:01:25.223
Oh my God. What's happening?

01:01:25.807 --> 01:01:28.643
It's turning green.
I can't bring this out there.

01:01:35.358 --> 01:01:36.818
Some kind of reaction?

01:01:38.653 --> 01:01:40.405
Maybe the acidity of the lemonade...

01:01:40.488 --> 01:01:44.242
The service here is terrible.

01:01:44.325 --> 01:01:45.326
I don't have a story.

01:01:45.410 --> 01:01:46.786
We put two drops in the glass.

01:01:46.869 --> 01:01:49.414
- Let's put two in the pitcher.
- Will it put her to sleep?

01:02:20.570 --> 01:02:21.571
Hmm.

01:02:35.168 --> 01:02:36.669
Where is my lemonade?

01:02:37.628 --> 01:02:38.628
It's coming!

01:02:40.381 --> 01:02:42.800
What? I put it right here.

01:02:45.470 --> 01:02:47.346
- Where is it?
- What are you talking about?

01:02:47.430 --> 01:02:49.807
Where is the potion? This has to happen.

01:02:54.729 --> 01:02:55.729
She knows.

01:03:11.704 --> 01:03:12.704
Uh...

01:03:14.248 --> 01:03:15.249
So, uh...

01:03:19.879 --> 01:03:21.464
So it's...

01:03:23.883 --> 01:03:24.883
It's gotta...

01:03:28.137 --> 01:03:29.137
It's...

01:03:31.641 --> 01:03:32.558
Hmm.

01:03:35.394 --> 01:03:36.394
Let's see.

01:03:37.063 --> 01:03:38.356
So, um...

01:03:43.277 --> 01:03:45.738
Any day now, Storyteller.

01:03:46.239 --> 01:03:49.659
Yeah, yeah. It's, uh... it's here somewhere.

01:03:53.788 --> 01:03:55.414
Spit it out.

01:03:55.498 --> 01:03:56.791
Oh, okay.

01:04:02.421 --> 01:04:04.423
- I just gotta find it.
- Read!

01:04:07.260 --> 01:04:08.719
Here it is.

01:04:09.929 --> 01:04:10.929
Hmm.

01:04:11.514 --> 01:04:13.349
Uh...

01:04:14.267 --> 01:04:19.605
So, um, this one is, um,
called "The Cuckoo Clock."

01:04:26.737 --> 01:04:30.783
When Scott's parents
bought the cuckoo clock at an estate sale,

01:04:30.867 --> 01:04:35.329
he thought it was just
another old-timey piece of junk.

01:04:35.913 --> 01:04:40.084
But there was something strange
about the clock.

01:04:40.167 --> 01:04:42.420
Every hour on the hour,

01:04:42.503 --> 01:04:44.547
the little cuckoo would pop out,

01:04:44.630 --> 01:04:48.551
and, uh, Steve started to notice...

01:04:48.634 --> 01:04:50.595
Who's Steve?

01:04:50.678 --> 01:04:53.014
I thought you said his name was Scott.

01:04:53.097 --> 01:04:55.892
Sorry. Right. Uh, typo.

01:04:55.975 --> 01:04:59.103
So... so Scott noticed that, uh, the cuckoo

01:04:59.186 --> 01:05:02.356
seemed to look a little bit different
every time it appeared.

01:05:02.440 --> 01:05:04.108
Like, its eyes would...

01:05:05.526 --> 01:05:07.653
- What is this?
- Uh...

01:05:09.280 --> 01:05:11.032
Where are all your stories,

01:05:11.115 --> 01:05:14.243
the ones that you're supposed
to be writing every day?

01:05:14.785 --> 01:05:17.371
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
- Where are your new stories?

01:05:17.455 --> 01:05:19.790
The Shredder, it got into my backpack.

01:05:20.917 --> 01:05:24.045
The Shredder ate your homework?

01:05:24.128 --> 01:05:27.798
Uh, it's true.
It escaped from the night nursery.

01:05:27.882 --> 01:05:30.343
Quiet, girl.

01:05:30.426 --> 01:05:32.511
Thorns in my side...

01:05:32.595 --> 01:05:35.473
- No!
- ...since the moment you arrived.

01:05:35.556 --> 01:05:37.183
I'll make you the recipe. I...

01:05:37.266 --> 01:05:41.812
Please. You can barely follow a recipe.

01:05:41.896 --> 01:05:43.356
He writes for you! You need him!

01:05:43.439 --> 01:05:46.025
I'll write the best story for you!

01:05:46.567 --> 01:05:48.152
Hmm, let's face it.

01:05:49.737 --> 01:05:51.781
This is long overdue.

01:05:51.864 --> 01:05:53.783
Please, no! No!

01:06:22.144 --> 01:06:23.144
What?

01:06:25.356 --> 01:06:27.066
Don't touch her. Don't touch.

01:06:43.624 --> 01:06:45.418
Lenore.

01:06:45.501 --> 01:06:46.752
You okay?

01:06:47.336 --> 01:06:48.796
What's... what's happening?

01:06:50.923 --> 01:06:53.050
Oh no. What's wrong with you?

01:06:54.343 --> 01:06:55.803
Something's wrong.

01:06:57.013 --> 01:06:59.181
Poor little thing. What happened to you?

01:06:59.265 --> 01:07:01.308
Lenore put our potion
in the bottle of mist.

01:07:01.892 --> 01:07:03.894
I can't believe it.

01:07:08.315 --> 01:07:10.818
She must've gotten a dose
of the sleeping potion.

01:07:13.446 --> 01:07:14.655
She's a prisoner,

01:07:15.406 --> 01:07:16.407
just like us.

01:07:18.367 --> 01:07:21.245
- Thank you, Lenore.
- Alex, we did it.

01:07:21.746 --> 01:07:23.372
We beat her.

01:07:30.129 --> 01:07:32.006
How's that for following a recipe?

01:07:42.016 --> 01:07:43.893
Wait. Where do you think it goes?

01:07:45.436 --> 01:07:46.436
Home.

01:08:17.635 --> 01:08:19.553
Never thought I'd see trees again.

01:08:24.183 --> 01:08:25.183
Look.

01:08:32.191 --> 01:08:34.318
I'm never gonna eat
peanut butter ever again!

01:08:34.401 --> 01:08:36.487
You can forget
about pumpkin pie for me!

01:08:36.570 --> 01:08:39.532
First food when I get back?
Vanilla milkshake!

01:08:42.201 --> 01:08:45.955
Whoa, whoa, wait, Alex.
Hold up. Hold up. Just wait a second.

01:08:51.335 --> 01:08:52.545
That's widow's grub.

01:08:53.129 --> 01:08:54.713
That's sunken lily.

01:08:56.006 --> 01:08:57.007
Why is that here?

01:09:11.063 --> 01:09:12.606
No, no, no. Alex! Alex!

01:09:13.274 --> 01:09:15.151
Alex! Alex!

01:09:15.985 --> 01:09:18.696
The door, it wasn't the way out.

01:09:20.156 --> 01:09:21.866
We're still in the apartment.

01:09:50.019 --> 01:09:53.480
Evil unicorn!

01:09:53.981 --> 01:09:54.981
Run!

01:10:00.362 --> 01:10:01.447
Run!

01:10:01.530 --> 01:10:03.365
Alex, it's getting closer!

01:10:03.449 --> 01:10:05.618
It's too fast!

01:10:12.917 --> 01:10:14.168
Oh my God.

01:10:20.049 --> 01:10:23.052
- What just happened?
- Maybe something spooked it?

01:10:36.398 --> 01:10:37.398
Alex?

01:10:59.505 --> 01:11:02.216
"Every good story hints at truth."

01:11:05.177 --> 01:11:06.178
Oh my God.

01:11:06.762 --> 01:11:10.391
"Hansel and Gretel" was real.

01:11:12.393 --> 01:11:13.269
Yas?

01:11:13.352 --> 01:11:15.354
We're in "Hansel..."

01:11:15.437 --> 01:11:17.773
It smells so delicious.

01:11:24.154 --> 01:11:25.698
Yas?

01:11:26.740 --> 01:11:29.118
So hungry.

01:11:35.749 --> 01:11:36.875
Yas!

01:12:07.906 --> 01:12:09.867
We... we shouldn't be in here, Yas.

01:12:18.584 --> 01:12:19.584
Yas?

01:12:22.129 --> 01:12:23.129
Hello?

01:12:27.634 --> 01:12:29.762
Yas, what's wrong with you?

01:12:32.222 --> 01:12:33.222
Yas?

01:13:21.063 --> 01:13:22.063
Yas?

01:13:24.691 --> 01:13:25.776
Lenore?

01:13:33.867 --> 01:13:34.867
Yasmin?

01:13:44.002 --> 01:13:45.002
Hello?

01:13:47.089 --> 01:13:48.173
Yasmin!

01:13:54.096 --> 01:13:55.389
Yasmin!

01:14:02.396 --> 01:14:03.396
I'm... I'm okay.

01:14:03.981 --> 01:14:05.315
This is probably fine.

01:14:40.809 --> 01:14:42.311
Well, well, well!

01:14:42.394 --> 01:14:44.438
Sleeping Beauty awakes.

01:14:45.772 --> 01:14:48.233
Oh, wait. Wrong story.

01:14:52.112 --> 01:14:54.698
Alex!

01:14:54.781 --> 01:14:56.867
- Are you guys okay?
- Yeah.

01:14:57.951 --> 01:14:59.036
We're okay.

01:15:22.226 --> 01:15:25.187
The mist, that's where it comes from.

01:15:25.896 --> 01:15:27.272
You're harvesting it.

01:15:27.898 --> 01:15:29.983
Who's inside that coffin?

01:15:32.319 --> 01:15:33.862
The original witch,

01:15:35.531 --> 01:15:39.660
who, by the way, does eat children.

01:15:40.827 --> 01:15:44.665
We thought you were the original witch.
We thought the blue mist kept you young.

01:15:44.748 --> 01:15:47.876
I don't need the mist to keep me young.

01:15:47.960 --> 01:15:49.545
It gives me her magic.

01:15:49.628 --> 01:15:50.628
What?

01:15:51.046 --> 01:15:52.130
How?

01:15:52.631 --> 01:15:55.467
I was about your age when she got me.

01:15:55.968 --> 01:15:58.095
There were lots of us back then.

01:15:59.096 --> 01:16:01.223
But we weren't dumb.

01:16:02.015 --> 01:16:04.309
We knew not to get attached,

01:16:04.393 --> 01:16:07.604
because she got hungry.

01:16:08.105 --> 01:16:09.273
She ate them?

01:16:12.025 --> 01:16:13.151
Yes.

01:16:15.946 --> 01:16:17.114
All of them.

01:16:22.536 --> 01:16:26.248
And then I...
I had to clean the oven.

01:16:27.874 --> 01:16:29.960
I pretended to like her.

01:16:30.544 --> 01:16:33.130
Pretended to want to be like her.

01:16:33.213 --> 01:16:35.007
I became her favorite.

01:16:35.924 --> 01:16:39.928
But when I was alone, I plotted my escape.

01:16:42.889 --> 01:16:45.017
I would get her to trust me.

01:16:47.519 --> 01:16:50.147
And then, a sleeping potion,

01:16:51.106 --> 01:16:52.482
and I would be free.

01:16:53.483 --> 01:16:55.402
I ran straight home...

01:17:04.369 --> 01:17:06.038
but my parents were gone.

01:17:07.414 --> 01:17:08.540
They left you.

01:17:09.708 --> 01:17:11.585
I had nowhere else to go,

01:17:11.668 --> 01:17:13.879
so I came back here.

01:17:18.759 --> 01:17:20.385
Who cares about them?

01:17:24.056 --> 01:17:25.474
You were just like us.

01:17:27.976 --> 01:17:28.976
Wait.

01:17:29.811 --> 01:17:31.021
The sleeping potion...

01:17:32.773 --> 01:17:34.358
You're Unicorn Girl.

01:17:39.363 --> 01:17:40.363
Ah.

01:17:41.948 --> 01:17:44.076
You read my diaries.

01:17:48.205 --> 01:17:49.581
Did you meet my pet?

01:17:50.082 --> 01:17:51.541
The unicorn?

01:17:53.126 --> 01:17:54.127
That's your pet?

01:17:54.753 --> 01:17:55.754
I made him.

01:17:56.880 --> 01:17:58.632
I make many things now.

01:18:08.141 --> 01:18:10.644
<i>She's the one
who's been shaking the apartment?</i>

01:18:10.727 --> 01:18:15.440
If she doesn't get a story,
we're all gonna die.

01:18:16.149 --> 01:18:18.902
Stories keep her asleep.

01:18:18.985 --> 01:18:24.533
Stories of fear and suffering and death
are like sweet lullabies to her.

01:18:24.616 --> 01:18:26.034
Tell one.

01:18:26.118 --> 01:18:27.244
I don't have a story.

01:18:27.327 --> 01:18:28.537
Oh, yes, you do.

01:18:28.620 --> 01:18:32.040
Tell us the reason that you wanted
to destroy your Nightbooks.

01:18:33.750 --> 01:18:37.003
But... that's not scary...

01:18:37.087 --> 01:18:38.755
It was, to you.

01:18:39.339 --> 01:18:44.636
All that pain and fear and sadness

01:18:44.720 --> 01:18:47.889
that you've been avoiding this whole time.

01:18:47.973 --> 01:18:48.890
Tell it!

01:18:55.522 --> 01:18:56.565
Now, Alex!

01:18:56.648 --> 01:18:58.316
You think I'm a bad witch?

01:18:59.067 --> 01:19:01.653
Just wait until she wakes up and sees you.

01:19:02.237 --> 01:19:04.948
So young, so plump, so juicy...

01:19:05.031 --> 01:19:06.366
Okay! Okay!

01:19:13.415 --> 01:19:17.461
There once was a boy
who... who loved to write scary stories.

01:19:17.544 --> 01:19:19.463
Every day, on his free time,

01:19:19.546 --> 01:19:22.883
he would come up with new ways
to scare his classmates.

01:19:33.852 --> 01:19:35.604
But...

01:19:35.687 --> 01:19:39.065
...they just didn't get
his fascination with creepy things.

01:19:39.149 --> 01:19:43.195
To them, he was just... weird.

01:19:44.029 --> 01:19:46.239
"What's wrong with you?" they'd ask.

01:19:46.740 --> 01:19:48.158
Many of them were cruel,

01:19:48.950 --> 01:19:52.329
calling him names, like Creepshow.

01:19:54.331 --> 01:19:55.499
Except for Joshua.

01:19:56.500 --> 01:19:57.918
<i>Josh was his best friend</i>

01:19:59.377 --> 01:20:00.504
<i>since kindergarten.</i>

01:20:02.005 --> 01:20:04.925
<i>Alex finishes
his latest bone-chilling tale,</i>

01:20:05.008 --> 01:20:06.426
<i>and he's excited to share it.</i>

01:20:08.011 --> 01:20:09.930
Hey, you're gonna love this one.

01:20:10.430 --> 01:20:11.430
Josh?

01:20:12.557 --> 01:20:14.518
Hey, Josh?

01:20:18.146 --> 01:20:20.524
<i>Alex catches up with Josh
after class.</i>

01:20:21.399 --> 01:20:23.401
Wait. My birthday's tonight.

01:20:23.485 --> 01:20:25.737
We turned the apartment
into a haunted house.

01:20:25.821 --> 01:20:28.657
It's amazing.
I've got tons of new stories ready.

01:20:29.616 --> 01:20:30.992
<i>Josh talks low,</i>

01:20:31.076 --> 01:20:33.161
not wanting the others to hear.

01:20:33.245 --> 01:20:35.247
Cody's having a gaming party.

01:20:35.330 --> 01:20:37.415
His dad's getting the truck
and everything.

01:20:38.166 --> 01:20:41.127
But to... tonight's my party.

01:20:41.628 --> 01:20:44.923
...says Alex, confused and hurt.

01:20:45.590 --> 01:20:48.426
Alex's hope sinks. He's desperate.

01:20:48.510 --> 01:20:49.510
He says...

01:20:51.263 --> 01:20:53.181
You're my best friend.

01:20:54.057 --> 01:20:55.892
<i>Josh tries to be gentle.</i>

01:20:56.476 --> 01:20:57.477
Yeah, right.

01:20:57.978 --> 01:20:59.563
Cody's my friend now too.

01:20:59.646 --> 01:21:01.231
And you're just not...

01:21:02.524 --> 01:21:03.567
Come on.

01:21:04.067 --> 01:21:07.279
The way you dress, the things you like.

01:21:07.362 --> 01:21:10.031
"All you do
is talk about your scary stories."

01:21:11.950 --> 01:21:13.410
Everyone thinks it's weird.

01:21:13.994 --> 01:21:16.621
<i>That's when Cody butts in.</i>

01:21:16.705 --> 01:21:18.456
Yo, Josh, you comin'?

01:21:18.540 --> 01:21:19.624
Come on, J-Man.

01:21:20.208 --> 01:21:23.420
All right, all right.
Alex, I'll see you later, okay?

01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:32.470
The boy had written a new story
about a haunted house.

01:21:33.722 --> 01:21:35.974
He, his mom, and his dad

01:21:36.683 --> 01:21:39.311
<i>had turned his whole apartment
into that house.</i>

01:21:42.397 --> 01:21:43.773
No one showed up...

01:21:46.067 --> 01:21:47.569
not even Josh.

01:21:55.493 --> 01:22:00.624
They made him hate
the thing he loved most.

01:22:02.584 --> 01:22:05.003
And they made him hate himself.

01:22:10.717 --> 01:22:16.097
<i>The real truth is,
he was embarrassed to be himself,</i>

01:22:17.307 --> 01:22:19.726
<i>so he decided to burn his Nightbooks.</i>

01:22:20.894 --> 01:22:24.022
He swore he'd never write
another story again.

01:22:25.565 --> 01:22:26.565
He could be

01:22:27.859 --> 01:22:28.902
a new person.

01:22:29.819 --> 01:22:31.905
Not weird.

01:22:32.405 --> 01:22:33.865
Not a freak.

01:22:34.366 --> 01:22:35.992
He could be normal,

01:22:36.785 --> 01:22:39.788
like Josh and his friends.

01:22:42.624 --> 01:22:44.334
Then he wouldn't be alone.

01:22:56.221 --> 01:22:59.140
The boy lost all his friends,

01:22:59.224 --> 01:23:01.810
so he decided to destroy
that part of himself

01:23:01.893 --> 01:23:03.853
that created the Nightbooks.

01:23:03.937 --> 01:23:05.814
Then a witch captured him.

01:23:06.564 --> 01:23:08.692
She said she liked his stories.

01:23:11.736 --> 01:23:13.321
The witch was lying.

01:23:13.947 --> 01:23:15.323
But being captured by her

01:23:15.407 --> 01:23:17.617
was the best thing
that ever happened to me...

01:23:19.953 --> 01:23:21.413
...because I made new friends,

01:23:23.289 --> 01:23:27.293
friends who love me for who I am,
not for who they want me to be.

01:23:27.377 --> 01:23:29.212
What have you done? No!

01:23:30.046 --> 01:23:30.880
No!

01:23:33.174 --> 01:23:34.926
No.

01:23:35.010 --> 01:23:37.429
- No!
- This is our happy ending!

01:23:37.512 --> 01:23:39.264
No happy endings.

01:23:44.144 --> 01:23:46.938
- Guys, let's get out of here.
- Fine.

01:23:47.022 --> 01:23:48.148
No!

01:23:48.231 --> 01:23:51.401
Oh! No! No, you idiot!

01:23:51.484 --> 01:23:54.779
What have you done? You stupid children.

01:23:54.863 --> 01:23:56.656
No! No!

01:24:20.055 --> 01:24:23.933
Oh God! Oh God!

01:24:31.483 --> 01:24:32.901
Oh God.

01:25:10.772 --> 01:25:11.772
You're awake.

01:25:12.565 --> 01:25:13.565
Finally.

01:25:14.109 --> 01:25:18.238
You've been asleep here so long,
the... the candy is infecting you.

01:25:19.531 --> 01:25:20.865
You...

01:25:23.368 --> 01:25:25.245
You did this to me.

01:25:25.328 --> 01:25:30.708
I have lived in fear of you for so long,
but I am not that little girl anymore.

01:25:34.838 --> 01:25:36.381
Witch fight!

01:25:36.464 --> 01:25:37.966
- Let's get out of here!
- Let's go!

01:25:41.136 --> 01:25:42.470
Go! Just go!

01:25:42.554 --> 01:25:44.931
Go! Go!

01:26:15.003 --> 01:26:18.715
Help! We need help! Get us out of here!

01:26:18.798 --> 01:26:21.009
A witch is gonna eat us!

01:26:21.092 --> 01:26:22.135
Help!

01:26:22.635 --> 01:26:24.429
Can anyone hear me?

01:26:24.512 --> 01:26:27.807
Alex, move.
I've seen Natacha do this.

01:26:34.314 --> 01:26:35.314
Yas?

01:26:39.027 --> 01:26:40.027
Yasmin?

01:26:45.617 --> 01:26:46.617
Whoa!

01:26:47.744 --> 01:26:48.744
You... you did it.

01:26:49.370 --> 01:26:50.371
You did it.

01:26:54.751 --> 01:26:58.046
- I'm home.
- Let's go.

01:27:01.049 --> 01:27:02.425
- Lenore!
- We gotta go.

01:27:04.177 --> 01:27:06.596
We're still in my building.
The apartment didn't move.

01:27:09.432 --> 01:27:12.477
- Do you have a plan?
- Not exactly a plan, an idea.

01:27:18.024 --> 01:27:19.567
Hello, children.

01:27:22.362 --> 01:27:25.240
I'm so hungry.

01:27:43.758 --> 01:27:46.261
This is the worst elevator ever!

01:28:03.319 --> 01:28:04.319
What now?

01:28:04.779 --> 01:28:07.323
We just need to make it
to that boiler room.

01:28:21.838 --> 01:28:23.256
You gotta be kidding me.

01:28:48.906 --> 01:28:51.743
- No! No! No! No!
- No! No! No! No!

01:29:10.053 --> 01:29:13.097
No! Oh my God!

01:29:19.896 --> 01:29:22.607
No, let... let her go. It's me you want.

01:29:22.690 --> 01:29:25.443
Incorrect.

01:29:25.526 --> 01:29:27.612
I want both of you.

01:29:27.695 --> 01:29:28.695
No!

01:29:28.738 --> 01:29:30.823
No. I'm sorry.

01:29:30.907 --> 01:29:33.159
No!

01:29:41.834 --> 01:29:43.378
Lenore!

01:29:45.713 --> 01:29:47.715
No. No.

01:29:48.299 --> 01:29:51.469
"Stories about fear and death
are like lullabies to her."

01:29:51.552 --> 01:29:52.804
No, no, no.

01:29:53.554 --> 01:29:54.554
No!

01:29:56.766 --> 01:29:57.766
No!

01:30:00.311 --> 01:30:01.729
She's read all of them.

01:30:01.813 --> 01:30:03.648
No!

01:30:03.731 --> 01:30:05.233
Hey, ugly.

01:30:06.567 --> 01:30:09.362
You like stories? I got stories.

01:30:15.576 --> 01:30:19.580
Jason couldn't decide which was stranger.

01:30:19.664 --> 01:30:23.543
The fact that his sister died
every Tuesday at 11:15

01:30:23.626 --> 01:30:26.129
or that she always
came back to life 20 minutes later.

01:30:26.212 --> 01:30:28.339
More. Give me more.

01:30:31.509 --> 01:30:35.805
Zachary had always thought that clowns
were the scariest part of the circus.

01:30:35.888 --> 01:30:37.223
He was wrong.

01:30:39.392 --> 01:30:41.227
I found a package on my front porch

01:30:41.811 --> 01:30:46.482
addressed to the woman
standing right behind you.

01:30:47.233 --> 01:30:49.235
Who? Who was it?

01:30:49.318 --> 01:30:50.778
Who was it?

01:30:57.160 --> 01:31:00.621
- The stories!
- Push her! Push her in!

01:31:04.292 --> 01:31:06.127
Keep pushing!

01:31:12.717 --> 01:31:14.469
Don't let her out!

01:31:15.553 --> 01:31:17.722
Keep it shut! Keep pushing!

01:31:19.640 --> 01:31:21.476
- Keep it shut!
- Keep her in!

01:31:26.564 --> 01:31:28.608
Oh my God.

01:31:32.195 --> 01:31:34.197
So that's why they call you a tryhard?

01:31:34.280 --> 01:31:35.990
Shut up, Creepshow.

01:31:40.077 --> 01:31:41.287
All right, skin-bag.

01:31:41.871 --> 01:31:44.373
We didn't forget about you. Come here.

01:31:54.509 --> 01:31:55.510
Let's go home.

01:32:00.348 --> 01:32:02.266
Maybe we should take the stairs.

- Hey, Creepshow.
- Hey, Tryhard.

01:33:37.361 --> 01:33:39.614
My parents drove me up to surprise you.

01:33:39.697 --> 01:33:42.617
- What is that? Like, your third story?
- Fourth, actually.

01:33:42.700 --> 01:33:45.578
So you could definitely use this.

01:33:47.455 --> 01:33:48.789
Oh my God, Yas.

01:33:54.086 --> 01:33:56.839
Check out the flowers.
My next science fair project.

01:33:56.922 --> 01:33:59.967
The effect of ultraviolet black light
on photosynthetic organisms.

01:34:07.642 --> 01:34:09.852
Still don't believe
in happy endings?

01:34:09.935 --> 01:34:11.228
I'm starting to.
