Cleavers: Killer Clowns (2019) - full transcript
Mind your head. Cleaver is back! And this time he's brought family!
[Tense music]
[Man] What the hell is going on?
What the hell the
hell happened here?
Where's Carly?
[Woman] My god, they're back.
[Girl] Mr. Palmer, wait!
Mr. Palmer!
[Tense music]
[woman screaming]
[police siren wailing]
I think we're wasting
our time, sheriff.
He had too much of a headstart.
He was driving a 50 year
old ice cream truck,
for Christ's sake.
How much of a headstart
could he have got?
We've been driving in a
straight line for 30 minutes.
I'd say maybe enough.
Listen, this is the only
road in and out of town.
He had to come this
way, he just had to.
I think we must've
missed it, sheriff.
You saw with he
done to them girls.
If she's still alive,
there's a chance.
We gotta take it.
So we just keep
driving, that's it?
Keep driving.
Hey, you're the sheriff,
but I'm just saying,
I think we lost him.
Son of a bitch.
[Siren wailing]
[eerie music]
Requesting back up
on Highway East.
Suspect's vehicle is stationary.
Possible medical
assistance required.
Jody-Ann?
All clear, sheriff.
What the hell?
[Flies buzzing]
Sweet Jesus!
That sick son of a bitch.
[Metal clanging]
Don't move!
Stay right there.
You're Mary-Beth, aren't you?
It's okay, sweetheart,
you're safe now.
Come on, let's get you home.
No, we can't go yet.
Daddy, told me to stay here.
It's okay, he's gone.
It's just us.
No.
He's just waiting.
[Man laughing]
[metal clanging]
[eerie music]
Run.
[Man laughing]
Run.
Don't move.
[Grunting]
Oh God.
[Gun firing]
[gun clicking]
[engine rumbling]
[man laughing]
[door slamming]
No, sheriff!
Sheriff!
Sheriff!
It's almost five years,
five years since that night.
Five years of nightmares.
Five years since he took
Mary-Beth Palmer, the daughter.
Five years since I started
to follow the carnage
- that lead me here.
- [Somber music]
One thing, I know, he
loves places like this,
quiet, unassuming towns.
The kind of place where
these things don't happen.
[Children laughing]
Missing women are
the dead giveaway.
Most of them turn
up a few days later,
one way or another.
Usually, another.
After five years,
[door slamming]
you start to feel like
it's only a matter of time
before opportunity knocks.
[Sheriff knocking]
Morning, sheriff.
You've been out here all day?
Just having a coffee, sheriff.
Wasn't a genuine
question, sheriff.
People are complaining.
They haven't tasted the coffee.
Or maybe it's just not as good
as Still Rivers' coffee, huh?
Not even close.
Maybe it'd be best if you
just head back there then.
You know, for the coffee.
Listen, Jody-Ann, I'm
trying to kind here,
but you're making
people uncomfortable,
talking about murder and
kidnapping and killer clowns.
You're starting to
become a problem.
[Jody-Ann] I'm sure
you've got bigger problems
than an out of state cop.
Well, I'm trying to be kind
here 'cause of who you are,
what you've been through,
but you're an extra
problem I don't need.
- If he's here--
- We'll take care of it.
You're not needed here.
More importantly,
you're not wanted.
Jeez, what happened to
small town hospitality?
It wore thin.
Listen, you've been doing
this for what, five years now?
Town to town, you're still no
closer to catching this guy.
I think it's time you went home.
Why don't you head back to
your motel, check yourself out?
Must be people back
home will miss you,
miss their sheriff.
There's not much
left to Still Rivers.
I don't think you understand
what that night
did to that town.
I'm sure I don't,
but I'm still gonna have
to suggest you leave.
That a suggestion, sheriff?
An order.
Look, sheriff or not, this
isn't your jurisdiction.
You're still here tonight,
I'll get you checked in
to one of our fancy rooms
down at the station.
You read me?
Loud and clear, sheriff.
Not the first time.
I get moved along more
often than I'd like.
Being a cop on the
Still Rivers massacre
comes with it's own baggage
and makes that some
people uncomfortable.
[Crow cawing]
But maybe he's right.
[Water running]
Maybe it's time to let go,
time to clean the slate.
Start fresh back home.
Besides, it's been a long
time since I even had a lead.
Maybe opportunities
finally stopped knocking.
[Door knocking]
[ominous music]
[suspenseful music]
[bright music]
Hey, asshole, what the
hell is your problem?
That's quite enough
for tonight, Darla.
Why don't you get yourself home?
Well, aren't you
gonna give me a ride?
I'll make it worth your while.
Good night, Darla.
You couldn't afford me anyway.
Asshole.
[Eerie music]
[car revving]
Yeah, well, fuck you too, buddy!
Goddammit.
[Tense music]
Oh my god.
What's wrong with your face?
[Darla screaming]
Great, another shithole in
the middle of nowheresville.
Don't talk about
yourself like that.
Fuck off, Artie.
Language, young lady.
Young lady?
Are you gonna let her
talk to me like that?
Don't start.
You try and show your
elders some respect, huh?
We went to the same
school at the same time.
[Artie] You coming?
I thought you meant
a proper restaurant,
not some trucker's dirty armpit.
Well, we tried to
book in at The Ritz,
but out here they just
think that's a cracker.
Move it, small fry.
You coming?
[Upbeat music]
Right, well, I know
what I'm havin'.
A heart attack if
you're not careful.
Hey, I'm on vacation.
I can let my hair
down if I want to.
- Yeah, what's left of it.
- Leave your father alone.
I think he looks distinguished,
like Bruce Willis.
Jeez, knock it off, will you?
We're in public.
Yeah, we're about as far away
from public as we can get.
What are you gonna have?
I'm suddenly not hungry.
Something must have
put me off my food.
Well, I'm starving.
Hey, where are you going?
To the bathroom if
that's all right.
I hope that's all
you're gonna do.
Jesus, Dad, get off my case.
Okay, what can I get y'all?
[Tiffany] Is the
chili vegetarian?
Honey, the only thing
vegetarian around here
are the cows.
If you don't like meat,
you can always
have the meatloaf.
It's mostly bread crumbs.
[Door squeaking]
[flies buzzing]
[groaning]
- [pills rattling]
- No, no, no!
Fuck!
Fuck!
[Door banging]
[tense music]
[door banging]
[door banging]
Ocupado.
[Door rattling]
There's someone in here!
[Ominous music]
So we start up here
in San Francisco
and we went down
through Arizona,
Mexico, Texas,
right through Oklahoma.
I've been trying to take
back roads, you know,
trying to get some
culture into these kids
before we hit DC.
My, ain't that quite
a trip y'all takin'?
Let me tell you, see
this road right here?
Takes you straight to
Tennessee through some
of the purtiest landscapes
you have ever seen.
Ah, see, hey, hey, this is why
it pays and talk to the locals.
They know all secrets
this place has to offer.
Oh, we got lots of
secret around here.
- [Suspenseful music]
- I was trying to find you.
Where have you been?
We're ready to go.
I was in the bathroom.
Doing what?
What do you think?
Knowing you, you were
popping those pills again.
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Your dad set this trip
up to get away from that
and those people you
hang around with.
The least you could
do is try to act
like a respectful daughter.
You're not my mother, Tiffany.
You're right.
If you were mine,
you wouldn't have turned
out the way you are.
You think just because you
were a bitch in high school,
I won't put you down
right here, right now?
Hey, girls, girls.
Come on, open road awaits.
Coming, dear.
Y'all have a safe journey, now.
[Ominous music]
[door squeaking]
Is that it?
Ain't much this week, huh?
Well, luckily,
I have just sent some
fresh meat your way.
[Cleaver laughing]
There's a feeling again in
the pit of your stomach.
When you get a lead,
that lead that you know
will take you to what
you're looking for.
This feels like
one of those leads,
like I'm getting close,
closer than I've
been in a long time.
Closer to the man
that I'm looking for.
[Crows cawing]
[gun cocking]
[trunk slamming]
[projector whirring]
[suspenseful music]
Don't move!
Sheriff's department, I'm armed.
Stay right where you are.
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Hatcher?
[Ominous music]
Jeez!
Freeze!
[Suspenseful music]
I said hold it!
- [Grunting]
- [screaming]
Police, I said freeze!
Wait, who the fuck are you?
I was trying to help ya!
The note, that was you?
[Kale] Sheriff?
Howells, you copy? Over.
Kale, I found something.
It's him.
He was here.
[Kale] That's the thing.
We have a local here.
She saw him last night.
Did you copy that, Jody-Ann?
Copy that.
Looks like we're
taking a road trip.
[Foreboding music]
[Chase] Please stop, I'm
trying to take your picture.
[Artie] Come on.
Hey, come on.
- Smile.
- [Camera snapping]
What the fuck are you doing?
Taking your picture
for the holiday album.
Jesus, Artie,
can't you keep your
whatever she is in check?
Man, you're such a killjoy.
Why?
Because I don't like people
flashing lights in my face?
She's just trying
to enjoy herself.
You should try it sometime.
Very little chance
of that happening
on this fucking Chevy
Chase road trip.
I know what you mean.
When Artie said sunny holiday,
I was picturing more
beach tan and cocktails.
We're in the same boat, sister.
You didn't have to come, Chase.
You chose to be here.
Fuck, Tan, why you always
gotta be like this?
Everyone's just trying to
enjoy a little vacation.
Vacation?
This is like being hauled
around in a prison truck.
Y'know, sometimes you
can be so ungrateful.
We'd much rather be
spending our summer
doing something better than
this but we're out here for--
For what?
For my sake?
Go fuck yourself, Arthur.
I didn't ask for this and
I sure as hell didn't ask
to be a model for my
brother's new piece
and her amateur photography.
Come on, Tanya, you
need to chill out.
We're young, dumb
and [giggling].
Just try and lighten up.
See, you look nice.
I swear to god!
Hey, what's going on back there?
They're trying to piss me off.
Artie and his whatever she is.
Hey!
Artie, stop aggravating
your sister.
Are you kidding me?
She's the one who
needs to get a grip.
If you guys don't stop,
I'll stop, we're gonna get
out, we're gonna look--
[Tiffany] Larry!
[Tires screeching]
[ominous music]
Kids, are you all right?
We're okay.
We're all right, Mr. Harvey.
[Larry] Tanya?
Why the hell did
you stop like that?
Oh my god, I am so sorry,
I didn't see you there.
Are you okay?
My god, what are you doing
in the middle of the road?
Are you okay, honey?
Um, I'm lost.
Where did you come
from, sweetie?
I lost my way home.
And where's home?
Where'd she come from, Dad?
There's nothing
around here for miles.
I've been out here
an awful long time.
[Camera snapping]
- Are you serious?
- What?
It's for my holiday album?
Okay, we're just gonna
go wait in the van.
What do you think
is wrong with her?
I don't know, sounds local.
Probably lost a screw or two.
What do we do with her?
I don't know.
I guess we could just take
her to the next drop off point
and call the cops or the
paramedics or something.
No way, the diner,
there was a sign.
Last stop for 500 miles.
We could take her
back to the diner,
maybe leave her there?
You could always take me home.
- Where's home, sweetie?
- [Foreboding music]
The Sunny Farm.
It's not far up there.
That's where my daddy lives.
And you're sure
it's on this road?
Okay, well that's what we'll do.
We'll drop you there.
Come on, little lady,
you can ride up front with me.
Hey, come on.
[Engine revving]
[ominous music]
Found her this morning,
staggering around the roads.
She's been running all
night, feet like stumps.
Shouldn't she be getting
medical attention?
We're waitin' on forensics.
She said she saw him?
So she says.
She's got quite a story.
[Tense music]
Darla?
Do you mind?
Go right ahead.
I already told your
boss everything I saw.
If you wouldn't mind
going over it again.
You ain't from
around here, are you?
What gave it away?
You don't look like
one of these inbreds.
Local whore, was it?
That's what they call me.
Real nice, huh?
Real nice.
Yeah.
Can you tell me what you saw?
That man from the news.
The clown.
You sure it was him?
Look, I may be a whore,
but I ain't a liar.
And I know what I saw.
It was him, the Cleaver.
So what happened?
He asked me to
pass on a message.
What message?
[Foreboding music]
Are you ready to chat?
What were you doing
at the factory?
Does it matter?
I'd say so.
You were just found
at a crime scene
along with the body
of a missing girl.
These guys are gonna charge you
with at least
obstruction of justice,
if not an accomplice.
And you?
I tried to help you.
Doesn't matter what I think.
I hold about as much weight
here as a feather duster.
Why did you send me the note?
'Cause I thought you could help.
Who exactly are you?
I was adopted real young.
A few years back, I
found out I had a sister.
[Somber music]
I don't expect you to
know what it's like
to have no idea
where you come from
but for me, it was
like a lifeline
to all the answers I've
yearned for my entire life.
Managed to track her down.
It was real easy,
as it turns out.
Do you know why?
'Cause she's murdered.
Do you know by whom?
She was the same as
me, didn't have nobody.
No one to look out for her,
to protect her, to avenge her.
I know what that's like.
And it's all I could
do to try and stop him.
I heard about you,
that you were there that night,
looking for him out here.
That's why I came to you.
And I,
I thought you'd understand.
I do, that's why I need you
to tell me what you know,
how to find him.
Why?
So you can lock him up
and he can sit here alive?
While all them that he
killed lie six feet under.
Otherwise, there'll be more.
I can find him.
I don't know if you've noticed,
but you're not really in a
position to be finding nobody.
That's the deal.
You get me outta here,
and I can find him.
That's what I've been doing
this whole time, keepin' up,
waiting for my chance.
A chance to finish this.
And how do we go about
all that exactly?
First, you gotta
get me outta here.
[Birds chirping]
[crow cawing]
Are you sure this is the place?
Yes, sir.
[Ominous music]
And this is where you live?
Yeah, just me and my pa.
- What the hell?
- What is it?
Well, the gas, we're on empty.
I thought I told you to fill up.
I did, I'm sure I did.
Well, obviously, you didn't.
Dammit, Larry, how are we
gonna get up to the border
without any gas?
His truck ain't here.
He must be out
but I'm sure my pa
will have some gas for y'all.
Yeah, we can wait for him.
Come on in, he won't
be long, I'm sure.
He'll show you where the gas is.
I'm sure he'd love
to meet y'all.
[Tiffany] What do we do?
- I guess we'll have to wait.
- You wanna go in there?
Yeah, no offense, Pops,
but who knows what
we'll catch in there?
No offense, Mr. Harvey,
but it looks gross.
Come on, don't be so soft.
Without gas, we're not
gonna make it to Tennessee
unless you all wanna walk.
Y'all comin'?
Come on, I lived
through worse in 'Nam.
Your dad served in 'Nam?
No, he just went
there on vacation.
Listen to your father.
Hey, little girl,
you got chai tea?
Tan, you coming?
I'm gonna wait in the RV.
You're missin' out.
I'm sure I'll survive.
[Eerie music]
[Announcer] The
smiling face of terror.
[Woman screaming]
A practical joker.
[Garbled speaking]
With a deadly taste for revenge.
What the?
Jody-Ann, what the
hell are you doing?
I'm takin' her.
She knows where to find him.
Are you crazy?
For all we know, she
killed that woman.
Don't event think
about it, sheriff.
Now come on, let's
just talk about this.
You and I both know
this is a lot easier
than me trying to convince you.
Keys, just in case you
got any bright ideas
about following us.
To her, please.
This ain't ever gonna end well.
You know that.
Maybe, but it'll be an end.
That's all that matters.
[Tense music]
[engine revving]
Goddammit, Jody-Ann, what
the hell are you doing?
Y'all make yourself at home.
I'm gonna change
out of these rags.
[Tiffany] Thank you.
Well, it tastes as
good as it looks.
Oh god, who would let a child
live in a place like this?
I don't know, maybe it's just
how people live down here.
Still, it doesn't
make it healthy
for an innocent
young girl, does it?
[Chase] Ew, who keeps
this kind of stuff?
Uh, it's not that weird, right?
I mean, maybe he's
like a science teacher.
Hey, where's your sister?
She's in the van.
Dammit, Artie, you know she
needs watching at all times.
She's probably out there
popping pills already.
She's fine.
She just wasn't feeling
this place is all.
Do blame her?
Do you remember that the
reason that we're on this trip
is to keep an eye
on your sister?
Yeah, that's pretty obvious.
You think that's making
her life any easier,
treating her like
some sort of prisoner?
Well, to be quite honest,
she's brought it on herself.
She's only proving that
she can't be trusted.
Whoa, where are you going?
- To get your sister.
- No, you're not.
You're just gonna
make things worse.
- I'll go.
- Make things worse?
Yeah, last thing we need is
you pretending to be our mom.
- [Chair banging]
- Hey!
Let him go.
This doesn't taste like chai.
You think they have any sugar?
Jesus Christ.
[Hank] Your own sister.
Tell you I've heard of
hefty troubles in my time,
but your own sister?
It's ridiculous.
That said, it's all the
same around these parts.
Wife, girlfriend, sister,
just interchangeable terms
on the lips of a redneck.
For you boys just joining
us, you're listening to.
[Eerie music]
For you boys just joining us,
you're listening
to Hank Bushball,
keeping your ears
alive on the long haul.
Is fine all day.
Stop your grinnin',
drop your linen,
and listen up as we talk about
all manners deep and dark.
Back on our favorite subject
for the Halloween season.
I think someone's
cooking something.
[Hank] We're talking
about the advance
of Still Rivers five
years ago today.
Oh, I mean since they
treat this guy lately
like global warming,
responsible for everything
in a thousand mile radius.
The fact remains
he's still out there.
I was never a man who
believed in the devil.
Let me tell you, the things
I've read about that man,
make your bones
freeze with terror.
The kids out there now,
who's gonna keep them
safe if he strikes again?
After all, don't let
this state fool ya.
It's Halloween and that's
- [suspenseful music]
- when he comes knockin'.
[Hinge squeaking]
[ax whooshing]
[guts dripping]
[Artie panting]
Oh, my god, you're.
Lil' Miss Cleaver.
[Cleaver thudding]
[Artie groaning]
[Artie collapsing]
[liquid bubbling]
- [eye popping]
- [tense music]
[lid clanking]
The tea!
There's something in the tea!
Artie?
Artie?
[Cleaver] Hello, miss?
Have you heard the
good word [laughing]?
[String tripping]
[blood splattering]
[footsteps approaching]
Did I do good, Daddy?
You did perfect, little lamb.
Just one more to go.
How's the coffee?
Haven't tried it yet.
Lucky you.
It's not the best.
Can we take these off now?
Come on, I'm not an idiot.
You don't need your hands
to tell me what you know.
I thought we were
tracking this bastard.
You're not, I am.
That's not how this is gonna go.
This is how this is gonna go.
You're gonna tell
me what you know.
We're gonna track
this bastard down
- and then--
- And then what?
- I'll bring him in.
- Are you fucking crazy?
We need to stop him for good.
Like for good good.
You said you could find him.
Now, am I wasting my time here
or am I dragging your
ass back to Pine Meadows?
We find him, we bring him in.
And what happens
to me after that?
You go to jail, serve
your time for obstruction,
- if you're lucky.
- What about you?
I get five, most
likely, if I'm lucky.
This is bullshit.
Maybe.
But it's bullshit on my terms.
So, we got a deal or
we're turning back now?
Fine.
To find this guy, you need
to know exactly how he works.
Every serial killer
has their own pattern.
Thorn, that panda
guy, all of them,
they all have a pattern.
Once I figured out Layton's,
keeping up with him was easy.
Then how come no
one's caught him yet?
Out here, no one's lookin'.
Except you.
I've always been
right behind him.
He appears every October 29th,
30th, 31st.
Halloween.
Such a cliche.
It's hard to know
where it'll stop.
I tracked the missing
girls just like you did
and here he was.
So you found him but
you didn't stop him.
That's why I left you the note.
I figured you'd be more
equipped with dealing with him.
He's already moved on.
Not far.
There's only so many places
between here and
the county line.
What's to stop him
jumping the county line?
He never does, ever.
Not till he's done.
Then we better get movin'.
Y'all have a nice
day now, sheriff.
I must have left them somewhere.
Oh!
Oh my god, thank you.
[Plastic crinkling]
[ominous music]
Hello, Dad?
Artie?
[Door rattling]
Tiffany?
[Tanya screaming]
[engine stops]
Why are we stopping?
It's trash on the road.
Where do you think you're going?
To take a look.
Don't worry, it's not
like I can get very far.
One of the first
things you learn
when you're tracking someone
is that anything
could be a clue.
[Jody-Ann] This is
nothing but an empty road.
Yeah, in the middle of nowhere.
So why is there a buildup
of oil right here?
Maybe someone stopped
to change the tire
and a million other reasons.
[Misty] In the
middle of the road?
I doubt it.
The only reason you'd stop
is if something stopped you.
[Jody-Ann] Something?
[Misty] Or someone.
[Somber music]
What is it?
Looks like.
Is that?
- Mary-Beth Palmer?
- Looks like it.
This could be days or weeks.
Doubtful.
In this Arkansas night air,
it'd be long gone by now.
You sure?
Pretty positive.
- Plus.
- What?
It's dated today,
about two hours ago.
Whoever took this photo is
in a buttload of trouble.
[Crow cawing]
If they passed here,
there's very little
between here and the border.
How little?
About one thing.
A cluster of old farmhouses,
50 miles off the highway and
in the middle of nowhere.
Just the kind of place he'd use.
We better get movin', who
knows how long we have?
[Engine rumbling]
Hey, sunshine.
Roosters are crowing.
Time to rise and shine.
Wakey, wakey, eggs
and bakey [laughing].
- What?
- [Chains rattling]
What?
Tiffany!
What have you done to her?
Dad?
Tanya!
Oh my god.
You!
You led us here.
Oh, we have a clever one, Daddy.
Where's Arthur, where's my son?
What have you done to him?
Oh, he wasn't in a great mood.
In fact, he's still screaming
upstairs [laughing].
You bastard, how could you?
Larry?
What's happening?
Oh, god.
I'm so glad you caught up on
your beauty sleep, darling.
Now, we can get started.
Please, don't!
If you would, little lamb.
- [Tanya screaming]
- [Cleaver chuckling]
Okay now, let's get this
party started [laughing].
What do you want, you maniac?
Oh, dad, I'm sure you
know how hard it is
to raise a kid all on your own.
What?
Which one's it gonna be?
What, what do you mean?
Only fair to let you choose.
Choose?
Choose what?
Which one will be the brine
and which one will
be the brisket?
You just leave them alone!
We got ourselves a prize pig.
- She's gonna make a great mom.
- Get away from her!
Why are you doing this?
Well now, papa,
my dearest here hasn't had
a mama in a long, long time.
That just isn't right
for a little girl, is it?
To be without her mama.
Although, her real mama was a
dirty whore so she had to die!
So, come on now,
you choose, daddy O.
[Tiffany] Larry.
I can't choose.
You can't expect me--
I can and I will
or you will die!
I'll start with
this one over here!
- Wait!
- Help!
Please come help me.
Kill me, just please
leave her alone.
[Tanya sobbing]
You have to choose me,
she's your daughter.
So, what does that make you?
I'm his wife.
[Cleaver laughing]
Oh, Papa Larry,
you are a dark horse.
I must be thinking you
have lovely daughters
and one's already a mama.
I'm her stepmom!
I really like this one.
Now, who's it gonna be?
The lovely daughter
or the yummy mummy?
[Suspenseful music]
I choose my wife.
No!
No!
- No!
- Larry, no, you can't!
I'm sorry, Tanya.
- No!
- But your life until now
as an addict, you're
better off this way.
Oh, that's real dark,
and I'm a fucking killer
clown, for Christ's sakes!
[Ominous music]
But I get it.
You upset the wife,
gonna get it right in the neck!
[Cleaver slicing]
[Larry coughing]
[neck snapping]
[both gasping]
[Larry collapsing]
[both screaming]
Now, we just gotta figure out
which one of these little
piggies we get to keep
and which one
becomes roast beef.
[Cleaver laughing]
Please, I'll stay.
Just let her go.
Sounds like we've got
company, little lamb.
Why don't you go make
them feel right at home?
Yes, Daddy.
[Tense music]
[door squeaking]
You sure this is
the right place?
You could bet your ass on it.
Jesus Christ.
We got a plan?
Go in, take a look around.
All right, okay then, I
was tired of livin' anyway.
[Foreboding music]
Someone's been here,
recently.
[Floor thudding]
Looks like they still are.
Sheriff's department!
Someone there?
- [Hinge squeaking]
- [blade slicing]
Oh, it's a trap!
I probably should
have mentioned.
- What?
- Traps are kinda his thing.
[Blade slicing]
Yeah, probably worth mentioning
before we walked into
a serial killers lair?
Well I didn't want
to get in over your--
- [blade slicing]
- [both screaming]
You okay?
[Cleaver laughing]
I'm fine, just go get him.
Hello?
Help!
[Tanya] Help, is
somebody there, hello?
We're down here!
Hello?
Please help us!
[Projector whirring]
[suspenseful music]
Wait, who the fuck are you?
Well, I guess I'm the cavalry.
Well, you want to
get us out of here?
[Chains clinking]
[gun firing]
[ominous music]
Mary-Beth?
Mary-Beth Palmer.
Somebody here
wants to say hello.
[Chains rattling]
Sheriff?
Oh my god, sheriff, I've
been lookin' for you.
[Suspenseful music]
[gun clicking]
[chains rattling]
Come on, we gotta go.
There's a padlock.
Well, can you get it off?
I'm trying, it'll
take me minute.
Go and start the van.
What about you?
We'll be right behind you.
Right?
Sure.
Go!
- [Suspenseful music]
- [Cleaver laughing]
Where you going, darling?
This party's just
getting started.
[Cleaver laughing]
[Jody-Ann] What's
wrong with you?
[Mary-Beth] He was our first.
First what?
What's wrong with him?
He's one of our family.
He was Daddy's first test.
Turned out well,
didn't you, Hatcher?
[Hatcher mumbling]
What did you do to him?
We turned him mad as
a Hatcher [laughing].
My god, you're just like him.
What can I say?
[Blades whooshing]
It runs in the family.
[Blades slicing]
Mary-Beth, you don't get it.
Your father, he's a monster.
Like father, like daughter.
What are you doing?
Don't hurt deputy.
Hey, little miss.
- [Punch thudding]
- [Mary-Beth collapsing]
I think it's your nap time.
Sheriff, we have
to get out of here.
[Sheriff grunting]
[ominous music]
Sheriff.
Sheriff, wait.
What are you doing?
I can't.
I can't live
- like this.
- Sheriff, sheriff, no!
[Gun firing]
- Shit, he's gone.
- Tanya, did she get away?
Not unless she
learned how to fly.
We have to go get her.
Jody-Ann, Jesus, what happened?
I found, I found Hatcher.
- Where is he?
- Dead.
Is anyone else with you?
- [Tanya screaming]
- That's Tanya.
I'll get her.
Get on the radio, call Kale.
Tell him where we are,
tell him we need backup.
Kale, but he'll haul us both in.
Just do it!
Hello, Sheriff Kale?
[Kale] Who is this?
Misty Lewis.
[Kale] Do you know how
much shit you're in?
When I find you, you're
going straight to jail.
Listen, Howells,
she needs backup.
We found him.
He's got a family.
Sheriff, people are
seriously dead up here.
[Kale] I'm sendin' backup.
What's your position?
[Crows cawing]
[tense music]
I need you to wait here.
Wait, what?
Where are you going?
I got something to take care of.
The cops are on their way.
What do I tell them?
Tell them where we went.
- [Blade slicing]
- [suspenseful music]
[Cleaver laughing]
[Tanya panting]
Here piggy, piggy [laughing].
Come out, come out
wherever you are.
Little pig, little
pig, let me come in
or I'll huff and
I'll puff and I'll,
and I'll blow your house in.
[Cleaver yelling]
- [Tanya grunting]
- [pipe thudding]
Smart piggy.
Fuck you, clown.
Oh, dear darling,
time to pipe down.
- [Pipe thudding]
- [Tanya screaming]
We better get that leg off
before it gets infected.
Ruins the taste of the meat.
- [Gun firing]
- [Cleaver screaming]
How about the vegetarian option?
You okay?
I'm stuck.
[Both grunting]
[Tanya screaming]
I can't move it.
Keep the gun on him.
[Tanya panting]
You okay?
- No, I'm--
- [Cleaver yelling]
Don't you know
guns are dangerous?
I prefer something
more effective.
Gets the blood flowing.
- Goodbye, deputy.
- [Jody-Ann choking]
[chains clinking]
Hello, fucker.
[Jody-Ann coughing]
[ominous music]
You wouldn't shoot a
defenseless little clown,
now would you?
Do you remember my sister?
Misty, stop.
Backup's here, it's over.
Do ya?
Do you remember her?
Misty, please, don't do this.
[Sirens wailing]
Oh.
Yes [laughing].
Do you know who I am?
If you do this,
you can't go back.
I hope you carve up as nice
as she did, little pig.
[Cleaver laughing]
It's over.
He's done.
Fuck you, clown.
[Gun firing]
[somber music]
You're goin' away
for a long time.
That makes the both of us, then.
[Keys jangling]
Not if you're gone
when they get here.
What's gonna happen to him?
They'll put him somewhere
to rot, like old meat.
[Cleaver sliding]
- I prefer the fresh stuff.
- [Suspenseful music]
[Cleaver yelling]
[both grunting]
[pipe thudding]
Little pig, you're
tougher than I thought.
It runs in the family.
[Pipe thudding]
[siren wailing]
Jody-Ann Howells, you
hold it right there.
I'm not going anywhere.
Neither is he.
Goddamn.
That's him?
That's Carlton
Layton, the Cleaver?
That's the one.
Jesus, Jody-Ann, this is a mess.
Things in that
house, the bloodbath.
Look, if any of
us keep our jobs--
[Deputy] This one
needs an ambulance.
Where is Tiffany?
The house, you got
the other one, right?
And the hostage.
- What?
- [Ominous music]
The house, his
daughter was there
and a woman, the hostage.
What the hell are
you talking about?
We swept that house,
there's no one in there.
No one alive, anyway.
Oh, Jesus.
[Cleaver laughing]
[dramatic music]
Open wide.
It's been a while, but I
think y'all finally ready.
Let's have a look at y'all.
So, you ready to play?
- Mama.
- [Eerie music]
[Cleaver laughing]
[energetic music]
¶ Hey, honey, he ain't
clowning around ¶
¶ The Cleaver's coming
so you gotta go out ¶
¶ He's gonna chase ya,
gonna make you a mess ¶
¶ You gonna die 'cause
killing is a family business ¶
¶ Yeah, yeah ¶
¶ Killing is a family business ¶
¶ Family business ¶
¶ Killing is a family business ¶
¶ Family business ¶
¶ She got your eyes
and your red nose ¶
¶ Your red blood, that's
the game they chose ¶
¶ The apple don't fall
far from the tree ¶
¶ They're hunting you so
you'll never be free ¶
¶ The grand prize you will be ¶
¶ Killing is a family business ¶
¶ Family business ¶
¶ Killing is a family business ¶
¶ Family business ¶
¶ Killing is a family business ¶
¶ Family business ¶
¶ Killing is a family business ¶
¶ Family business ¶
¶ Killing is a family business ¶

[Cleaver laughing]
[Man] What the hell is going on?
What the hell the
hell happened here?
Where's Carly?
[Woman] My god, they're back.
[Girl] Mr. Palmer, wait!
Mr. Palmer!
[Tense music]
[woman screaming]
[police siren wailing]
I think we're wasting
our time, sheriff.
He had too much of a headstart.
He was driving a 50 year
old ice cream truck,
for Christ's sake.
How much of a headstart
could he have got?
We've been driving in a
straight line for 30 minutes.
I'd say maybe enough.
Listen, this is the only
road in and out of town.
He had to come this
way, he just had to.
I think we must've
missed it, sheriff.
You saw with he
done to them girls.
If she's still alive,
there's a chance.
We gotta take it.
So we just keep
driving, that's it?
Keep driving.
Hey, you're the sheriff,
but I'm just saying,
I think we lost him.
Son of a bitch.
[Siren wailing]
[eerie music]
Requesting back up
on Highway East.
Suspect's vehicle is stationary.
Possible medical
assistance required.
Jody-Ann?
All clear, sheriff.
What the hell?
[Flies buzzing]
Sweet Jesus!
That sick son of a bitch.
[Metal clanging]
Don't move!
Stay right there.
You're Mary-Beth, aren't you?
It's okay, sweetheart,
you're safe now.
Come on, let's get you home.
No, we can't go yet.
Daddy, told me to stay here.
It's okay, he's gone.
It's just us.
No.
He's just waiting.
[Man laughing]
[metal clanging]
[eerie music]
Run.
[Man laughing]
Run.
Don't move.
[Grunting]
Oh God.
[Gun firing]
[gun clicking]
[engine rumbling]
[man laughing]
[door slamming]
No, sheriff!
Sheriff!
Sheriff!
It's almost five years,
five years since that night.
Five years of nightmares.
Five years since he took
Mary-Beth Palmer, the daughter.
Five years since I started
to follow the carnage
- that lead me here.
- [Somber music]
One thing, I know, he
loves places like this,
quiet, unassuming towns.
The kind of place where
these things don't happen.
[Children laughing]
Missing women are
the dead giveaway.
Most of them turn
up a few days later,
one way or another.
Usually, another.
After five years,
[door slamming]
you start to feel like
it's only a matter of time
before opportunity knocks.
[Sheriff knocking]
Morning, sheriff.
You've been out here all day?
Just having a coffee, sheriff.
Wasn't a genuine
question, sheriff.
People are complaining.
They haven't tasted the coffee.
Or maybe it's just not as good
as Still Rivers' coffee, huh?
Not even close.
Maybe it'd be best if you
just head back there then.
You know, for the coffee.
Listen, Jody-Ann, I'm
trying to kind here,
but you're making
people uncomfortable,
talking about murder and
kidnapping and killer clowns.
You're starting to
become a problem.
[Jody-Ann] I'm sure
you've got bigger problems
than an out of state cop.
Well, I'm trying to be kind
here 'cause of who you are,
what you've been through,
but you're an extra
problem I don't need.
- If he's here--
- We'll take care of it.
You're not needed here.
More importantly,
you're not wanted.
Jeez, what happened to
small town hospitality?
It wore thin.
Listen, you've been doing
this for what, five years now?
Town to town, you're still no
closer to catching this guy.
I think it's time you went home.
Why don't you head back to
your motel, check yourself out?
Must be people back
home will miss you,
miss their sheriff.
There's not much
left to Still Rivers.
I don't think you understand
what that night
did to that town.
I'm sure I don't,
but I'm still gonna have
to suggest you leave.
That a suggestion, sheriff?
An order.
Look, sheriff or not, this
isn't your jurisdiction.
You're still here tonight,
I'll get you checked in
to one of our fancy rooms
down at the station.
You read me?
Loud and clear, sheriff.
Not the first time.
I get moved along more
often than I'd like.
Being a cop on the
Still Rivers massacre
comes with it's own baggage
and makes that some
people uncomfortable.
[Crow cawing]
But maybe he's right.
[Water running]
Maybe it's time to let go,
time to clean the slate.
Start fresh back home.
Besides, it's been a long
time since I even had a lead.
Maybe opportunities
finally stopped knocking.
[Door knocking]
[ominous music]
[suspenseful music]
[bright music]
Hey, asshole, what the
hell is your problem?
That's quite enough
for tonight, Darla.
Why don't you get yourself home?
Well, aren't you
gonna give me a ride?
I'll make it worth your while.
Good night, Darla.
You couldn't afford me anyway.
Asshole.
[Eerie music]
[car revving]
Yeah, well, fuck you too, buddy!
Goddammit.
[Tense music]
Oh my god.
What's wrong with your face?
[Darla screaming]
Great, another shithole in
the middle of nowheresville.
Don't talk about
yourself like that.
Fuck off, Artie.
Language, young lady.
Young lady?
Are you gonna let her
talk to me like that?
Don't start.
You try and show your
elders some respect, huh?
We went to the same
school at the same time.
[Artie] You coming?
I thought you meant
a proper restaurant,
not some trucker's dirty armpit.
Well, we tried to
book in at The Ritz,
but out here they just
think that's a cracker.
Move it, small fry.
You coming?
[Upbeat music]
Right, well, I know
what I'm havin'.
A heart attack if
you're not careful.
Hey, I'm on vacation.
I can let my hair
down if I want to.
- Yeah, what's left of it.
- Leave your father alone.
I think he looks distinguished,
like Bruce Willis.
Jeez, knock it off, will you?
We're in public.
Yeah, we're about as far away
from public as we can get.
What are you gonna have?
I'm suddenly not hungry.
Something must have
put me off my food.
Well, I'm starving.
Hey, where are you going?
To the bathroom if
that's all right.
I hope that's all
you're gonna do.
Jesus, Dad, get off my case.
Okay, what can I get y'all?
[Tiffany] Is the
chili vegetarian?
Honey, the only thing
vegetarian around here
are the cows.
If you don't like meat,
you can always
have the meatloaf.
It's mostly bread crumbs.
[Door squeaking]
[flies buzzing]
[groaning]
- [pills rattling]
- No, no, no!
Fuck!
Fuck!
[Door banging]
[tense music]
[door banging]
[door banging]
Ocupado.
[Door rattling]
There's someone in here!
[Ominous music]
So we start up here
in San Francisco
and we went down
through Arizona,
Mexico, Texas,
right through Oklahoma.
I've been trying to take
back roads, you know,
trying to get some
culture into these kids
before we hit DC.
My, ain't that quite
a trip y'all takin'?
Let me tell you, see
this road right here?
Takes you straight to
Tennessee through some
of the purtiest landscapes
you have ever seen.
Ah, see, hey, hey, this is why
it pays and talk to the locals.
They know all secrets
this place has to offer.
Oh, we got lots of
secret around here.
- [Suspenseful music]
- I was trying to find you.
Where have you been?
We're ready to go.
I was in the bathroom.
Doing what?
What do you think?
Knowing you, you were
popping those pills again.
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?
Your dad set this trip
up to get away from that
and those people you
hang around with.
The least you could
do is try to act
like a respectful daughter.
You're not my mother, Tiffany.
You're right.
If you were mine,
you wouldn't have turned
out the way you are.
You think just because you
were a bitch in high school,
I won't put you down
right here, right now?
Hey, girls, girls.
Come on, open road awaits.
Coming, dear.
Y'all have a safe journey, now.
[Ominous music]
[door squeaking]
Is that it?
Ain't much this week, huh?
Well, luckily,
I have just sent some
fresh meat your way.
[Cleaver laughing]
There's a feeling again in
the pit of your stomach.
When you get a lead,
that lead that you know
will take you to what
you're looking for.
This feels like
one of those leads,
like I'm getting close,
closer than I've
been in a long time.
Closer to the man
that I'm looking for.
[Crows cawing]
[gun cocking]
[trunk slamming]
[projector whirring]
[suspenseful music]
Don't move!
Sheriff's department, I'm armed.
Stay right where you are.
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Hatcher?
[Ominous music]
Jeez!
Freeze!
[Suspenseful music]
I said hold it!
- [Grunting]
- [screaming]
Police, I said freeze!
Wait, who the fuck are you?
I was trying to help ya!
The note, that was you?
[Kale] Sheriff?
Howells, you copy? Over.
Kale, I found something.
It's him.
He was here.
[Kale] That's the thing.
We have a local here.
She saw him last night.
Did you copy that, Jody-Ann?
Copy that.
Looks like we're
taking a road trip.
[Foreboding music]
[Chase] Please stop, I'm
trying to take your picture.
[Artie] Come on.
Hey, come on.
- Smile.
- [Camera snapping]
What the fuck are you doing?
Taking your picture
for the holiday album.
Jesus, Artie,
can't you keep your
whatever she is in check?
Man, you're such a killjoy.
Why?
Because I don't like people
flashing lights in my face?
She's just trying
to enjoy herself.
You should try it sometime.
Very little chance
of that happening
on this fucking Chevy
Chase road trip.
I know what you mean.
When Artie said sunny holiday,
I was picturing more
beach tan and cocktails.
We're in the same boat, sister.
You didn't have to come, Chase.
You chose to be here.
Fuck, Tan, why you always
gotta be like this?
Everyone's just trying to
enjoy a little vacation.
Vacation?
This is like being hauled
around in a prison truck.
Y'know, sometimes you
can be so ungrateful.
We'd much rather be
spending our summer
doing something better than
this but we're out here for--
For what?
For my sake?
Go fuck yourself, Arthur.
I didn't ask for this and
I sure as hell didn't ask
to be a model for my
brother's new piece
and her amateur photography.
Come on, Tanya, you
need to chill out.
We're young, dumb
and [giggling].
Just try and lighten up.
See, you look nice.
I swear to god!
Hey, what's going on back there?
They're trying to piss me off.
Artie and his whatever she is.
Hey!
Artie, stop aggravating
your sister.
Are you kidding me?
She's the one who
needs to get a grip.
If you guys don't stop,
I'll stop, we're gonna get
out, we're gonna look--
[Tiffany] Larry!
[Tires screeching]
[ominous music]
Kids, are you all right?
We're okay.
We're all right, Mr. Harvey.
[Larry] Tanya?
Why the hell did
you stop like that?
Oh my god, I am so sorry,
I didn't see you there.
Are you okay?
My god, what are you doing
in the middle of the road?
Are you okay, honey?
Um, I'm lost.
Where did you come
from, sweetie?
I lost my way home.
And where's home?
Where'd she come from, Dad?
There's nothing
around here for miles.
I've been out here
an awful long time.
[Camera snapping]
- Are you serious?
- What?
It's for my holiday album?
Okay, we're just gonna
go wait in the van.
What do you think
is wrong with her?
I don't know, sounds local.
Probably lost a screw or two.
What do we do with her?
I don't know.
I guess we could just take
her to the next drop off point
and call the cops or the
paramedics or something.
No way, the diner,
there was a sign.
Last stop for 500 miles.
We could take her
back to the diner,
maybe leave her there?
You could always take me home.
- Where's home, sweetie?
- [Foreboding music]
The Sunny Farm.
It's not far up there.
That's where my daddy lives.
And you're sure
it's on this road?
Okay, well that's what we'll do.
We'll drop you there.
Come on, little lady,
you can ride up front with me.
Hey, come on.
[Engine revving]
[ominous music]
Found her this morning,
staggering around the roads.
She's been running all
night, feet like stumps.
Shouldn't she be getting
medical attention?
We're waitin' on forensics.
She said she saw him?
So she says.
She's got quite a story.
[Tense music]
Darla?
Do you mind?
Go right ahead.
I already told your
boss everything I saw.
If you wouldn't mind
going over it again.
You ain't from
around here, are you?
What gave it away?
You don't look like
one of these inbreds.
Local whore, was it?
That's what they call me.
Real nice, huh?
Real nice.
Yeah.
Can you tell me what you saw?
That man from the news.
The clown.
You sure it was him?
Look, I may be a whore,
but I ain't a liar.
And I know what I saw.
It was him, the Cleaver.
So what happened?
He asked me to
pass on a message.
What message?
[Foreboding music]
Are you ready to chat?
What were you doing
at the factory?
Does it matter?
I'd say so.
You were just found
at a crime scene
along with the body
of a missing girl.
These guys are gonna charge you
with at least
obstruction of justice,
if not an accomplice.
And you?
I tried to help you.
Doesn't matter what I think.
I hold about as much weight
here as a feather duster.
Why did you send me the note?
'Cause I thought you could help.
Who exactly are you?
I was adopted real young.
A few years back, I
found out I had a sister.
[Somber music]
I don't expect you to
know what it's like
to have no idea
where you come from
but for me, it was
like a lifeline
to all the answers I've
yearned for my entire life.
Managed to track her down.
It was real easy,
as it turns out.
Do you know why?
'Cause she's murdered.
Do you know by whom?
She was the same as
me, didn't have nobody.
No one to look out for her,
to protect her, to avenge her.
I know what that's like.
And it's all I could
do to try and stop him.
I heard about you,
that you were there that night,
looking for him out here.
That's why I came to you.
And I,
I thought you'd understand.
I do, that's why I need you
to tell me what you know,
how to find him.
Why?
So you can lock him up
and he can sit here alive?
While all them that he
killed lie six feet under.
Otherwise, there'll be more.
I can find him.
I don't know if you've noticed,
but you're not really in a
position to be finding nobody.
That's the deal.
You get me outta here,
and I can find him.
That's what I've been doing
this whole time, keepin' up,
waiting for my chance.
A chance to finish this.
And how do we go about
all that exactly?
First, you gotta
get me outta here.
[Birds chirping]
[crow cawing]
Are you sure this is the place?
Yes, sir.
[Ominous music]
And this is where you live?
Yeah, just me and my pa.
- What the hell?
- What is it?
Well, the gas, we're on empty.
I thought I told you to fill up.
I did, I'm sure I did.
Well, obviously, you didn't.
Dammit, Larry, how are we
gonna get up to the border
without any gas?
His truck ain't here.
He must be out
but I'm sure my pa
will have some gas for y'all.
Yeah, we can wait for him.
Come on in, he won't
be long, I'm sure.
He'll show you where the gas is.
I'm sure he'd love
to meet y'all.
[Tiffany] What do we do?
- I guess we'll have to wait.
- You wanna go in there?
Yeah, no offense, Pops,
but who knows what
we'll catch in there?
No offense, Mr. Harvey,
but it looks gross.
Come on, don't be so soft.
Without gas, we're not
gonna make it to Tennessee
unless you all wanna walk.
Y'all comin'?
Come on, I lived
through worse in 'Nam.
Your dad served in 'Nam?
No, he just went
there on vacation.
Listen to your father.
Hey, little girl,
you got chai tea?
Tan, you coming?
I'm gonna wait in the RV.
You're missin' out.
I'm sure I'll survive.
[Eerie music]
[Announcer] The
smiling face of terror.
[Woman screaming]
A practical joker.
[Garbled speaking]
With a deadly taste for revenge.
What the?
Jody-Ann, what the
hell are you doing?
I'm takin' her.
She knows where to find him.
Are you crazy?
For all we know, she
killed that woman.
Don't event think
about it, sheriff.
Now come on, let's
just talk about this.
You and I both know
this is a lot easier
than me trying to convince you.
Keys, just in case you
got any bright ideas
about following us.
To her, please.
This ain't ever gonna end well.
You know that.
Maybe, but it'll be an end.
That's all that matters.
[Tense music]
[engine revving]
Goddammit, Jody-Ann, what
the hell are you doing?
Y'all make yourself at home.
I'm gonna change
out of these rags.
[Tiffany] Thank you.
Well, it tastes as
good as it looks.
Oh god, who would let a child
live in a place like this?
I don't know, maybe it's just
how people live down here.
Still, it doesn't
make it healthy
for an innocent
young girl, does it?
[Chase] Ew, who keeps
this kind of stuff?
Uh, it's not that weird, right?
I mean, maybe he's
like a science teacher.
Hey, where's your sister?
She's in the van.
Dammit, Artie, you know she
needs watching at all times.
She's probably out there
popping pills already.
She's fine.
She just wasn't feeling
this place is all.
Do blame her?
Do you remember that the
reason that we're on this trip
is to keep an eye
on your sister?
Yeah, that's pretty obvious.
You think that's making
her life any easier,
treating her like
some sort of prisoner?
Well, to be quite honest,
she's brought it on herself.
She's only proving that
she can't be trusted.
Whoa, where are you going?
- To get your sister.
- No, you're not.
You're just gonna
make things worse.
- I'll go.
- Make things worse?
Yeah, last thing we need is
you pretending to be our mom.
- [Chair banging]
- Hey!
Let him go.
This doesn't taste like chai.
You think they have any sugar?
Jesus Christ.
[Hank] Your own sister.
Tell you I've heard of
hefty troubles in my time,
but your own sister?
It's ridiculous.
That said, it's all the
same around these parts.
Wife, girlfriend, sister,
just interchangeable terms
on the lips of a redneck.
For you boys just joining
us, you're listening to.
[Eerie music]
For you boys just joining us,
you're listening
to Hank Bushball,
keeping your ears
alive on the long haul.
Is fine all day.
Stop your grinnin',
drop your linen,
and listen up as we talk about
all manners deep and dark.
Back on our favorite subject
for the Halloween season.
I think someone's
cooking something.
[Hank] We're talking
about the advance
of Still Rivers five
years ago today.
Oh, I mean since they
treat this guy lately
like global warming,
responsible for everything
in a thousand mile radius.
The fact remains
he's still out there.
I was never a man who
believed in the devil.
Let me tell you, the things
I've read about that man,
make your bones
freeze with terror.
The kids out there now,
who's gonna keep them
safe if he strikes again?
After all, don't let
this state fool ya.
It's Halloween and that's
- [suspenseful music]
- when he comes knockin'.
[Hinge squeaking]
[ax whooshing]
[guts dripping]
[Artie panting]
Oh, my god, you're.
Lil' Miss Cleaver.
[Cleaver thudding]
[Artie groaning]
[Artie collapsing]
[liquid bubbling]
- [eye popping]
- [tense music]
[lid clanking]
The tea!
There's something in the tea!
Artie?
Artie?
[Cleaver] Hello, miss?
Have you heard the
good word [laughing]?
[String tripping]
[blood splattering]
[footsteps approaching]
Did I do good, Daddy?
You did perfect, little lamb.
Just one more to go.
How's the coffee?
Haven't tried it yet.
Lucky you.
It's not the best.
Can we take these off now?
Come on, I'm not an idiot.
You don't need your hands
to tell me what you know.
I thought we were
tracking this bastard.
You're not, I am.
That's not how this is gonna go.
This is how this is gonna go.
You're gonna tell
me what you know.
We're gonna track
this bastard down
- and then--
- And then what?
- I'll bring him in.
- Are you fucking crazy?
We need to stop him for good.
Like for good good.
You said you could find him.
Now, am I wasting my time here
or am I dragging your
ass back to Pine Meadows?
We find him, we bring him in.
And what happens
to me after that?
You go to jail, serve
your time for obstruction,
- if you're lucky.
- What about you?
I get five, most
likely, if I'm lucky.
This is bullshit.
Maybe.
But it's bullshit on my terms.
So, we got a deal or
we're turning back now?
Fine.
To find this guy, you need
to know exactly how he works.
Every serial killer
has their own pattern.
Thorn, that panda
guy, all of them,
they all have a pattern.
Once I figured out Layton's,
keeping up with him was easy.
Then how come no
one's caught him yet?
Out here, no one's lookin'.
Except you.
I've always been
right behind him.
He appears every October 29th,
30th, 31st.
Halloween.
Such a cliche.
It's hard to know
where it'll stop.
I tracked the missing
girls just like you did
and here he was.
So you found him but
you didn't stop him.
That's why I left you the note.
I figured you'd be more
equipped with dealing with him.
He's already moved on.
Not far.
There's only so many places
between here and
the county line.
What's to stop him
jumping the county line?
He never does, ever.
Not till he's done.
Then we better get movin'.
Y'all have a nice
day now, sheriff.
I must have left them somewhere.
Oh!
Oh my god, thank you.
[Plastic crinkling]
[ominous music]
Hello, Dad?
Artie?
[Door rattling]
Tiffany?
[Tanya screaming]
[engine stops]
Why are we stopping?
It's trash on the road.
Where do you think you're going?
To take a look.
Don't worry, it's not
like I can get very far.
One of the first
things you learn
when you're tracking someone
is that anything
could be a clue.
[Jody-Ann] This is
nothing but an empty road.
Yeah, in the middle of nowhere.
So why is there a buildup
of oil right here?
Maybe someone stopped
to change the tire
and a million other reasons.
[Misty] In the
middle of the road?
I doubt it.
The only reason you'd stop
is if something stopped you.
[Jody-Ann] Something?
[Misty] Or someone.
[Somber music]
What is it?
Looks like.
Is that?
- Mary-Beth Palmer?
- Looks like it.
This could be days or weeks.
Doubtful.
In this Arkansas night air,
it'd be long gone by now.
You sure?
Pretty positive.
- Plus.
- What?
It's dated today,
about two hours ago.
Whoever took this photo is
in a buttload of trouble.
[Crow cawing]
If they passed here,
there's very little
between here and the border.
How little?
About one thing.
A cluster of old farmhouses,
50 miles off the highway and
in the middle of nowhere.
Just the kind of place he'd use.
We better get movin', who
knows how long we have?
[Engine rumbling]
Hey, sunshine.
Roosters are crowing.
Time to rise and shine.
Wakey, wakey, eggs
and bakey [laughing].
- What?
- [Chains rattling]
What?
Tiffany!
What have you done to her?
Dad?
Tanya!
Oh my god.
You!
You led us here.
Oh, we have a clever one, Daddy.
Where's Arthur, where's my son?
What have you done to him?
Oh, he wasn't in a great mood.
In fact, he's still screaming
upstairs [laughing].
You bastard, how could you?
Larry?
What's happening?
Oh, god.
I'm so glad you caught up on
your beauty sleep, darling.
Now, we can get started.
Please, don't!
If you would, little lamb.
- [Tanya screaming]
- [Cleaver chuckling]
Okay now, let's get this
party started [laughing].
What do you want, you maniac?
Oh, dad, I'm sure you
know how hard it is
to raise a kid all on your own.
What?
Which one's it gonna be?
What, what do you mean?
Only fair to let you choose.
Choose?
Choose what?
Which one will be the brine
and which one will
be the brisket?
You just leave them alone!
We got ourselves a prize pig.
- She's gonna make a great mom.
- Get away from her!
Why are you doing this?
Well now, papa,
my dearest here hasn't had
a mama in a long, long time.
That just isn't right
for a little girl, is it?
To be without her mama.
Although, her real mama was a
dirty whore so she had to die!
So, come on now,
you choose, daddy O.
[Tiffany] Larry.
I can't choose.
You can't expect me--
I can and I will
or you will die!
I'll start with
this one over here!
- Wait!
- Help!
Please come help me.
Kill me, just please
leave her alone.
[Tanya sobbing]
You have to choose me,
she's your daughter.
So, what does that make you?
I'm his wife.
[Cleaver laughing]
Oh, Papa Larry,
you are a dark horse.
I must be thinking you
have lovely daughters
and one's already a mama.
I'm her stepmom!
I really like this one.
Now, who's it gonna be?
The lovely daughter
or the yummy mummy?
[Suspenseful music]
I choose my wife.
No!
No!
- No!
- Larry, no, you can't!
I'm sorry, Tanya.
- No!
- But your life until now
as an addict, you're
better off this way.
Oh, that's real dark,
and I'm a fucking killer
clown, for Christ's sakes!
[Ominous music]
But I get it.
You upset the wife,
gonna get it right in the neck!
[Cleaver slicing]
[Larry coughing]
[neck snapping]
[both gasping]
[Larry collapsing]
[both screaming]
Now, we just gotta figure out
which one of these little
piggies we get to keep
and which one
becomes roast beef.
[Cleaver laughing]
Please, I'll stay.
Just let her go.
Sounds like we've got
company, little lamb.
Why don't you go make
them feel right at home?
Yes, Daddy.
[Tense music]
[door squeaking]
You sure this is
the right place?
You could bet your ass on it.
Jesus Christ.
We got a plan?
Go in, take a look around.
All right, okay then, I
was tired of livin' anyway.
[Foreboding music]
Someone's been here,
recently.
[Floor thudding]
Looks like they still are.
Sheriff's department!
Someone there?
- [Hinge squeaking]
- [blade slicing]
Oh, it's a trap!
I probably should
have mentioned.
- What?
- Traps are kinda his thing.
[Blade slicing]
Yeah, probably worth mentioning
before we walked into
a serial killers lair?
Well I didn't want
to get in over your--
- [blade slicing]
- [both screaming]
You okay?
[Cleaver laughing]
I'm fine, just go get him.
Hello?
Help!
[Tanya] Help, is
somebody there, hello?
We're down here!
Hello?
Please help us!
[Projector whirring]
[suspenseful music]
Wait, who the fuck are you?
Well, I guess I'm the cavalry.
Well, you want to
get us out of here?
[Chains clinking]
[gun firing]
[ominous music]
Mary-Beth?
Mary-Beth Palmer.
Somebody here
wants to say hello.
[Chains rattling]
Sheriff?
Oh my god, sheriff, I've
been lookin' for you.
[Suspenseful music]
[gun clicking]
[chains rattling]
Come on, we gotta go.
There's a padlock.
Well, can you get it off?
I'm trying, it'll
take me minute.
Go and start the van.
What about you?
We'll be right behind you.
Right?
Sure.
Go!
- [Suspenseful music]
- [Cleaver laughing]
Where you going, darling?
This party's just
getting started.
[Cleaver laughing]
[Jody-Ann] What's
wrong with you?
[Mary-Beth] He was our first.
First what?
What's wrong with him?
He's one of our family.
He was Daddy's first test.
Turned out well,
didn't you, Hatcher?
[Hatcher mumbling]
What did you do to him?
We turned him mad as
a Hatcher [laughing].
My god, you're just like him.
What can I say?
[Blades whooshing]
It runs in the family.
[Blades slicing]
Mary-Beth, you don't get it.
Your father, he's a monster.
Like father, like daughter.
What are you doing?
Don't hurt deputy.
Hey, little miss.
- [Punch thudding]
- [Mary-Beth collapsing]
I think it's your nap time.
Sheriff, we have
to get out of here.
[Sheriff grunting]
[ominous music]
Sheriff.
Sheriff, wait.
What are you doing?
I can't.
I can't live
- like this.
- Sheriff, sheriff, no!
[Gun firing]
- Shit, he's gone.
- Tanya, did she get away?
Not unless she
learned how to fly.
We have to go get her.
Jody-Ann, Jesus, what happened?
I found, I found Hatcher.
- Where is he?
- Dead.
Is anyone else with you?
- [Tanya screaming]
- That's Tanya.
I'll get her.
Get on the radio, call Kale.
Tell him where we are,
tell him we need backup.
Kale, but he'll haul us both in.
Just do it!
Hello, Sheriff Kale?
[Kale] Who is this?
Misty Lewis.
[Kale] Do you know how
much shit you're in?
When I find you, you're
going straight to jail.
Listen, Howells,
she needs backup.
We found him.
He's got a family.
Sheriff, people are
seriously dead up here.
[Kale] I'm sendin' backup.
What's your position?
[Crows cawing]
[tense music]
I need you to wait here.
Wait, what?
Where are you going?
I got something to take care of.
The cops are on their way.
What do I tell them?
Tell them where we went.
- [Blade slicing]
- [suspenseful music]
[Cleaver laughing]
[Tanya panting]
Here piggy, piggy [laughing].
Come out, come out
wherever you are.
Little pig, little
pig, let me come in
or I'll huff and
I'll puff and I'll,
and I'll blow your house in.
[Cleaver yelling]
- [Tanya grunting]
- [pipe thudding]
Smart piggy.
Fuck you, clown.
Oh, dear darling,
time to pipe down.
- [Pipe thudding]
- [Tanya screaming]
We better get that leg off
before it gets infected.
Ruins the taste of the meat.
- [Gun firing]
- [Cleaver screaming]
How about the vegetarian option?
You okay?
I'm stuck.
[Both grunting]
[Tanya screaming]
I can't move it.
Keep the gun on him.
[Tanya panting]
You okay?
- No, I'm--
- [Cleaver yelling]
Don't you know
guns are dangerous?
I prefer something
more effective.
Gets the blood flowing.
- Goodbye, deputy.
- [Jody-Ann choking]
[chains clinking]
Hello, fucker.
[Jody-Ann coughing]
[ominous music]
You wouldn't shoot a
defenseless little clown,
now would you?
Do you remember my sister?
Misty, stop.
Backup's here, it's over.
Do ya?
Do you remember her?
Misty, please, don't do this.
[Sirens wailing]
Oh.
Yes [laughing].
Do you know who I am?
If you do this,
you can't go back.
I hope you carve up as nice
as she did, little pig.
[Cleaver laughing]
It's over.
He's done.
Fuck you, clown.
[Gun firing]
[somber music]
You're goin' away
for a long time.
That makes the both of us, then.
[Keys jangling]
Not if you're gone
when they get here.
What's gonna happen to him?
They'll put him somewhere
to rot, like old meat.
[Cleaver sliding]
- I prefer the fresh stuff.
- [Suspenseful music]
[Cleaver yelling]
[both grunting]
[pipe thudding]
Little pig, you're
tougher than I thought.
It runs in the family.
[Pipe thudding]
[siren wailing]
Jody-Ann Howells, you
hold it right there.
I'm not going anywhere.
Neither is he.
Goddamn.
That's him?
That's Carlton
Layton, the Cleaver?
That's the one.
Jesus, Jody-Ann, this is a mess.
Things in that
house, the bloodbath.
Look, if any of
us keep our jobs--
[Deputy] This one
needs an ambulance.
Where is Tiffany?
The house, you got
the other one, right?
And the hostage.
- What?
- [Ominous music]
The house, his
daughter was there
and a woman, the hostage.
What the hell are
you talking about?
We swept that house,
there's no one in there.
No one alive, anyway.
Oh, Jesus.
[Cleaver laughing]
[dramatic music]
Open wide.
It's been a while, but I
think y'all finally ready.
Let's have a look at y'all.
So, you ready to play?
- Mama.
- [Eerie music]
[Cleaver laughing]
[energetic music]
¶ Hey, honey, he ain't
clowning around ¶
¶ The Cleaver's coming

¶ He's gonna chase ya,
