[bunniefuu]

We're here!

What's up, y'all?

Welcome back.

Thank you

Thank you.

Ava!

You think he's too afraid

to talk to her this time?

Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa.

I'm not afraid.

Sure, whatever you say, bud.

What?

Ava?

Hi.

-Hi.

-How are you?

Oh my God!

- Hey, everybody!

- Hey, yo!

Who wants to beat my meat?

Yeah, y'all like that?

Oh my God.

This is so you guys.

What can I say?

How can I compete

with a d*ck that big?

Oho, how clever.

So clever, dude.

How did she not see

how clever you are?

I'm gonna go take a piss.

Did he say piss?

- Hey, Connor.

- Your big d*ck is so funny.

You're like exactly the kind

of guy I'm into.

Hey, Connor.

I'd sure like a turn at smashing

your nuts with a big stick.

Uh, hello?

Uh, are you another one

of Connor's surprises?

Are you here for the party?

What?

What?

Did I get it?

What's going on?

Move.

Eric?

No, no, no.

No, no.

What are you doing?

Do something!

Help him!

What are you doing

just looking at him?

Do something!

Do something!

Ladies and gentlemen,

boys and ghouls, it's that time

of year again.

Halloween night is upon us,

a night filled

with thrills and chills.

I'm your host, DJ Jack,

and I'll be your guide through

the spine-tingling lineup

we've got prepared

for you tonight.

So light your candles,

grab your broomsticks,

and settle in, 'cause

we'll be spinning

these spooky vintage tunes

all night long.

Can I help you?

All right.

I want you to pick

a card for me?

Thank you.

So, um, how's--

how's your night going?

Oh, what's this?

Is it your card?

Dang it.

No, it's not.

Hi-ya, iya, iya, iya!

What you doin'?

What are you doing?

Looking for my nunchucks.

They're not in here.

Did you check your nightstand?

No.

Why do you look like that?

Uh, we're going

trick-or-treating.

- I'm going with Lindsey.

- Zoe, we're late.

- Oh.

- Let's go.

Zoe, wait.

Zoe.

Zoe, where's your bag?

Max, have you seen my keys?

I swear that I--

You going out?

Oh, I thought I was going

with you guys.

Oh, sweetie.

Don't you think you're getting

a little bit old?

I don't know.

You know, what if a boy

from school saw you in that?

What's wrong with it?

Mom, I'm ready.

Look, I have to take your

sister to go pick up her friend.

Why don't you just meet up

with some of your friends?

'Cause she doesn't have any.

Zoe.

Of course, where's your jacket?

Look, why don't you just...

Watch some scary movies

or something?

Okay?

I'll be back later.

Come on, Zoe.

Let's go.

Come on, Max.

Please.

Please I haven't done

anything.

What the hell is wrong with you?

I haven't done anything.

Please.

Please.

Help!

Help!

Good evening, ladies and gents.

I'm your humble host, DJ Jack,

and it seems

the Halloween festivities are

in full swing all over town.

Just a little friendly reminder

to all my ghouls and goblins

out there, stay safe out there,

friends.

You never know who among us

can be trusted.

If you're scared

of ghosts and ghoulies

Bumpy, bumpy in the night

Have you been helped yet?

Um...

I can come back

if you're still deciding.

Okay.

Do I know you?

You go to Westwood High?

Yeah.

Thought you looked familiar.

So what can I get for you?

Trig class.

What?

Nothing.

Sorry.

It's just we're in the same

trigonometry class.

Right.

You're the quiet girl

who always sat by herself.

-Max.

-Max. Right.

Like how old are you?

- 15.

- Damn.

A sophomore in a senior class?

Must be pretty smart.

I don't know.

This uh, this your costume?

Yeah.

I-- I made it myself.

Yeah. I could tell.

Can I get you anything?

Um,

a cheeseburger?

One cheeseburger for Magic Max.

Thanks.

I-- I made it myself.

Oh, I know this.

It's face up.

Here.

When you had me put the card

back, the deck was upside down

with only the top card

flipped over.

That way when you

spread them out,

my card is the only one face up.

It's really cool.

But normally, you do the flip

while holding the deck

behind your back.

That means you would have had

to do it really fast to flip

that top card back over.

And with gloves?

That's really good.

Sorry.

Um, can I show you one?

I'm Max, by the way.

It's called

the "Jumping Gemini".

Have you seen it before?

Uh, it's really just a lot

of sleight of hand

and memorization.

I've-- I've been practicing.

You're so stupid.

I mean, come on, what was

I supposed to do, fight him?

- Smash it,

- DISCO DUDE: Ew, look at this.

I want to see its guts.

Ugh, all right.

You being a little baby?

Whoa, that was sick.

I mean, come on,

where were you guys? Huh?

I mean, this costume isn't

doing you any favors.

-Hey, whoa.

-Get it, get him. Get him.

Hey, f*ck, f*ck you.

Oh, that was good.

Uh, okay, so is the house over

this way or...

do you guys know

where we're going?

Yo, touch him.

Touch him.

Don't mess with him.

Shh. Shut up.

- You won't.

- Let's see what we got here.

Oh, Jesus.

Oh, God.

Christ.

- He's alive.

- Oh my goodness.

Sorry, dude, I, uh...

- Uh...

- Weird.

Hmm.

-Hi.

-Oh.

- Oh.

- What's up?

Happy Halloween.

Ooh, a magic trick.

- You pick one, you pick one.

- Oh.

Oh.

Let's see.

Hmm.

Pick a good one.

-All right.

-Okay, okay.

Let's see what you got.

Just woke up,

ready for a magic trick.

Should we give him a drum roll?

Dun-da-dun.

- No way.

- Moment of truth.

- Oh.

- Ooh. Not it.

-Yeah, you need some practice,

dude.

-That's not the one.

Yeah.

Are you a real magician?

Uhuh, yeah.

Uh-huh.

Second time's the charm, right?

Uh-huh.

All right.

-Nope.

-It wasn't it again.

I told you,

I told you guys he was drunk.

I told you.

I mean, he was asleep

on a bench.

- You're going for it again?

- Oh. Oh.

- I don't think this is how the--

- Okay.

Oh.

Uh, still not it.

Uh, maybe we should get going.

Uh, yeah, let's just go.

Come on.

Have a good night, sir.

Sorry for, uh, waking you up

or--

- Yeah.

- Whatever.

- What the hell?

- I have no clue what that was.

Come on.

That was very freaky.

He's a weirdo.

Where is this party?

Whoa!

- Jake, Jake.

- Jake! Jake!

- Oh my God! Jesus!

- Yeah. Oh my God!

Oh my God. Stop! Stop.

What are you doing?

I keep struggling with it.

I either drop the card

going into the front pocket

or put the wrong card in there.

I can't get it.

g*dd*mn thing.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, it's just that,

I don't know--

- Whoop, I got it.

- I got it.

There she goes.

See?

Huh, so maybe I'm not filling

up as many balloons these days,

but dammit if that thing still

doesn't come in handy.

Mm, I'm sure it'll pick up

again.

Ah, that's okay.

No one ever said a magician

was a popular profession.

But it's an honest one.

A magician promises

to deceive you...

And then they do.

You can get the trick, Max.

The problem isn't the trick.

The problem is you thinking you

failed before you even started.

Okay.

What is it?

What's what?

I'm an illusionist, Max.

I am not a mentalist.

But I'm pretty sure

the bike tire

isn't the only reason

you came by.

Come on, kiddo.

What happened?

It's just some kids from school.

Yeah?

What was it this time?

Just the bike.

Just the bike, huh?

You know, I remember

when you made that costume.

You were very proud of the hat.

The hat which is now

suspiciously absent.

Was that them, too?

No.

That was me.

I just...

I don't know what I'm doing

wrong.

What are you talking about?

I don't know.

I just don't fit in, and I

don't know what I'm doing wrong.

The things they do sometimes,

it just...

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I feel so stupid.

Don't say that.

Don't.

What is this?

Tell me.

What is this?

It's a magic wand.

It's a piece of wood.

Right?

I mean, who are we kidding?

It's a piece of wood.

No magic.

Nothing extraordinary.

I guess.

It's not until it's in the

hands of a magician

that it becomes something more.

Those kids from school,

in their hands,

this would just be

a piece of wood.

That's all they'd ever see.

But in your hands,

it can truly be magic,

because you, Max,

are extraordinary.

Now, let's get you out of those.

Well, where the hell

did I put it?

You're getting too good at that.

You know, I remember

teaching you sleight of hand.

I do not remember teaching

you to be a pickpocket.

Enjoy your night, kiddo.

Thanks. I will.

Be safe.

Oh.

Uh, I threw it away.

For what?

No.

No, thanks.

- Wait, wait.

- No, no.

No, please.

-No.

-Just give me a minute.

Just give me a minute.

What's up?

Thank you.

Hey, where are my flowers?

What? I'm just asking.

What the hell?

Stop!

Stop!

Well, now I know why you drive

such a big truck.

f*ck off!

Please, please, please.

No.

Please, please, please.

Um, come on,

I think we forgot something.

How did you do that?

- Trick or treat.

- Be careful, Ethan.

- Trick or treat.

- Trick or treat.

Ethan, slow down.

No, I-- I don't know them.

Do I wanna go trick or treating?

Oh, I don't know.

I think I might be getting

too old.

Go trick or treating with you?

Well, hello.

Look at you two.

Trick or treat.

Okay.

Um, can I show you a card trick?

Go ahead, sweetheart.

Uh, okay.

Um, just tell me when to stop.

Stop.

Very good.

I think instead we need

to do trick and a treats.

You earned it.

That was so good.

Run.

Run.

One more street

and we'll go home, okay?

Is that cool?

All right.

Help me!

Please help, he's after me.

Sweetie, it's okay.

Slow down.

There's a man? Where?

Honey, it's gonna be okay.

Um, did someone attack you?

I-- I don't understand.

Hurry up, Dad!

Ethan, stop!

Look, sweetie, it's-- it's okay.

It's gonna be okay. Um--

Ah, Dad! Dad!

Ethan!

Oh, I told you to be careful.

Oh, let me see it.

Here, let me see it.

My arm!

What is this?

What is happening?

Am I dead?

Excuse me.

Hey!

We need to be able to talk.

We're never gonna get anywhere

if you can't tell me anything.

Here.

Please try.

Are you going to k*ll me?

Then what do you want from me?

Why?

You are...

No!

No, I am nothing like you.

I beg to differ.

Don't be afraid.

Pleasure to meet you.

W-- w-- who, who are you?

Simply an entertainer

misunderstood,

cast out like you,

until the day I was visited

and found...

my soul was to be collected

by the Great Deceiver.

I offered a deal,

my soul for a trick for him,

and my soul stays.

And you did?

That's it?

To cheat death, y--

you just do a trick?

Mmm, if only.

Unable to accept his defeat,

he failed to mention

a condition.

I must trick four souls

each Hallows' Eve

before sending them to him,

all before the candle burns out.

Only then will the offerings

be accepted.

So, y-- you have to perform

a trick on someone

before k*lling them.

T-- to four people

before the candle burns out?

Very astute, Max.

Is-- is that why you--

Was he one of the offerings?

Some are just for fun.

O-- okay.

But what do I have to do

with any of this?

Max, don't you see?

You tricked me.

Me,

the one who tricked

the Great Deceiver.

Me, the soul he desires most,

but cannot collect.

Me, the one who has sent him

more souls

than you will ever meet.

And you tricked me!

It is you who must perform

the tricks to the observer.

Only then will the offerings

be accepted.

I-- I-- I didn't know.

I-- I was just trying...

I'm sorry.

You are like me, Max, superior.

Consider the power you now have

over those

who have ridiculed you.

No, I-- I-- I can't.

Hmm, unfortunate.

Why?

Why unfortunate?

That's what happens to you

if you don't finish

before the candle goes out?

You inherit the task,

as well as the fate

and endless suffering

reserved especially for us,

far worse

than the simplicity of death.

Apologies.

No.

No, not them either.

Okay.

Okay, okay.

It's you.

What?

Come to tell me how much

of an as*h*le I am?

Hmm?

All right, f*ck it.

Go ahead.

Been a shitty night

so far anyways,

so say whatever you gotta say.

Can I show you a magic trick?

Pick one.

About earlier, I uh,

just wanted to say, uh,

say sorry...

...for the bike.

It's fine.

You need to pick a card.

Okay.

Do I show it to you or--

No.

I don't even know why I did it,

you know?

Just trying to make those girls

laugh, I guess.

You can put the card back.

I just feel so f*cking stupid!

Don't say that.

So what's next?

No, uh--

What's the rest of the trick?

No, it's okay.

I-- I don't--

No, come on. I wanna know

the rest of the trick.

Just-- just tell me what to do.

Nothing.

You don't have to.

Do--

do I just pull another card?

No!

Holy sh*t.

This actually was my card!

You're pretty f*cking good

at that, you know?

No!

No, stop.

Please, I changed my mind.

Not him, okay?

Not him.

No!

Put those away.

Please!

Hey!

Are you f*cking kidding me?

Please, let's just go.

We'll find someone else.

You ruined my night, as*h*le.

Now it's time to ruin yours.

What the...

What the f*ck?

Ah, f*ck!

Stop it!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

Do something!

No!

To all my freaky fans out

there listenin',

I hope you're enjoying

this All Hallows' Eve.

We've received several tips

here at the station tonight,

some hoaxes and some not.

A report that a woman was

fatally attacked in her home

has turned out to be true.

While there's no further

details at this time,

let's all take it as a reminder

to be cautious

and to keep

those front doors locked.

Stay safe out there, friends.

No.

No.

No.

Evenin'.

Whoa.

That's some intense makeup.

You two out havin'

a little fun tonight?

Have either of you seen anyone

out here recently, by chance?

We got several calls

for suspicious activity

and we were wondering

if you'd seen anything.

I know.

I know.

Unheard of on Halloween, right?

Either of you wouldn't happen

to have a cellphone on you,

would ya?

You don't have a phone.

Would you mind takin' off

the mask, please?

What about you, sweetheart?

Do you have a phone?

Hey, whoa.

Hands behind your back.

Run!

Stop!

On the ground or I will

f*cking drop you!

On the ground now!

Help me!

Hey.

What's wrong?

Hey. Hey, it's okay.

Take it easy.

Are you uh, are you okay?

I need to get out of here

right now.

What for?

Where are you going?

There's-- there's a man

coming after me.

He kidnapped me.

The police came,

but I barely got away.

I don't know what to do.

-Someone kidnapped you?

-Yes.

Please, I need to get out

of here right now.

He'll find me.

Okay.

All right.

Get in.

Come on, I'll drive you

to the police station.

You'll be safe there and then

we can figure out what to do.

Okay?

Ladies and gentlemen,

this is DJ Jack

with an important update.

Earlier this evening, the body

of a 17-year-old boy was found

dead at Riverside Park.

-Due to the--

-Oh, thank you.

-Yep.

Concerning condition

of his body,

as well as the earlier

fatal attack on 41-year-old

Marissa Stevens

at her own front door,

local police are now

enforcing a mandatory curfew

for all residents.

You don't need to be hearing

that right now.

So what's your name?

Max.

Max.

It's a boy's name.

So, uh, how old are you, Max?

Uh-huh.

Where's your mom and dad?

How much farther

to the police station.

Well, it's not far now.

Is that your Halloween costume?

Yeah.

What are you?

A magician.

A boy magician?

Hey, I just think that you

could've dressed more lady-like.

You already have a boy's name.

Why are we stopping?

Why didn't you want to dress

more like a lady?

You're old enough now.

I think that if you did, you

could look very, very pretty.

Hey, Max.

I'm not gonna hurt you, Max.

I promise.

I wouldn't want to hurt you.

So be it.

No.

No.

No. No.

No! Help me!

Help me!

Help me, please!

15 medical.

You think we'll break

the record tonight?

Wait for the 4th of July.

Hey!

f*cking Halloween.

Oh, sh*t.

Just gonna put this on

your finger, okay, ma'am?

Hey, ma'am, how are we feeling?

Run.

Say that again, ma'am.

Run!

f*ck!

No.

You might think you have

this hold over me,

but the truth is,

you can't do this without me.

You can't force me to do it.

And I say I'm done.

I-- I realize what that means

for me,

but I accept that fate

if it means you'll suffer

the same.

The world will be a better

place without you.

Mom?

Mom?

For God's sakes, Max,

it's about time.

Mom!

Shh!

Your sister's sleeping.

Do you have any idea

what time it is?

Where have you been?

I've been waiting.

You know that?

Sorry, I'm just really happy

to see you.

That's not gonna get you out

of this, Max.

You're grounded.

Okay.

I just don't know what's gotten

into you.

I'm sorry.

I just...

...just wanted

to say I love you.

You're going with that, huh?

Look, I don't have the energy

for this right now.

I need to get to bed

and so do you.

-Mom?

-Shh!

-I'm sorry.

-I don't want to hear anymore.

Bed!

Are you okay?

Yes, Max.

My leg just fell asleep.

Probably because I was waiting

up for you all night.

Okay.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Goodbye, Zoe.

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

Hi, sweetie.

Mom, no. No!

Enough!

You listen to me now.

You k*lled her.

She was dead before

I even got back.

And I'll do the same

to little Zoe.

No, please!

Finish, Max.

Finish and you both live.

Refuse and I take Zoe with me

before the candle burns out.

Four.

Four tricks, four tricks.

Yes, Max.

one remains.

One remains.

Tick-tock, Max.

Before the candle burns out.

I can do this.

Promise me.

Promise me if I do this,

you'll leave her alone.

That's not how this works, Max.

I made the only promise

you're gonna get from me.

Now, do you want to be

the reason

the rest of your family dies?

Good.

You tried to be so noble,

forfeiting your life for others,

even after seeing the worst

that they had to offer.

That's why you're not going

to win this, Max.

You're only allowed what

I decide to give you.

I-- I'll do it.

Now!

I have someone in mind.

b*tch.

Eat my a*s, Rick.

f*ck!

Hey, Darren.

Max, what the f*ck

are you doing here?

Do you wanna see a magic trick?

What?

No.

I'm going home.

I know.

But me and my friend wanted

to show you a-- a trick.

Just one trick, and that's it.

Why?

Because...

I like you.

One trick?

Fine.

One trick.

Okay.

All right.

Uh, pick a card.

Got it?

Yeah.

Is that it?

Come on, Max.

I must perform the trick.

What?

I must perform the trick

to the observer.

Only then will the offerings

be accepted.

That's what you said.

Four tricks, four souls.

I can do this.

One soul remains,

yours.

Whoa.

Hey, back the f*ck--

Darren!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I never meant

for this to happen.

Oh, excuse me, sir,

this is an active crime scene.

-Please step back.

-I'm sorry, I-- I got a call.

I was told to be here.

You're who the girl called?

Hey. Mmm.

Hey.

Hmm.

Kiddo.

Hey.

What happened?

I finally got it right.

What?

The trick.

I got it.

Four tricks, four souls.

Four tricks, four souls.

Four tricks, four souls.

Four tricks, four souls.

Every year.
