Chucky (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 3 - I Like to Be Hugged - full transcript

I'm not a monster, Jake.
Hi, I'm Chucky,

and I'm your friend
till the end.

Caroline, would you maybe
like to meet Chucky sometime?

What if he doesn't like me?
I'm Detective Evans.

Do you know
that there was a break‐in

at the school last night?

The only thing missing
was a doll.

I'm sorry,
I‐‐I shouldn't have lied.

I've never done anything
like that before.

Your sister adores you.
She barely knows I exist.

She doesn't even like
to be touched.



Where is he?
Did Junior take him?

What are you talking about?
Chucky. He's gone.

Hi, I'm Chucky.
I'm looking for a party.

I‐‐I've gone to find Lexy.

I just, I‐‐I need
to make sure she's okay.

Seven minutes in hell!
Where's Lexy?

Probably kissing Junior
somewhere.

Well, at least she's gonna
die doin' what she loves.

Leave my friends alone!

You have a serious doll problem.
If you only knew.

♪ ♪

Some people just

deserve to die.

I‐‐I can't let her
get away with this.



Kill the bitch
before she kills you.

You know you want to.

♪ ♪

So, Jake, are you more
of a stabbing kind of guy

or a strangulation kind of guy?

'Cause I see the appeal
of both. I‐‐I don't know.

Neither.

I‐‐I don't know
if I can do this.

Oh, sure you can.
Easy.

You want hard?

Try choking someone with these.

You hate her, don't you?
Of course I hate her.

She's definitely
got it comin'.

Yeah, and‐‐
and I want her dead.

But what if I'm not a killer?

Everybody's a killer
if you push 'em far enough.

And I think Lexy's pushed you
right over the edge.

Chucky?

How did you end up like this?
Great question.

In a lot of ways, it was your
standard voodoo soul transfer.

My big innovation
was using the doll.

You see‐‐
No, I mean,

when did you become a killer
in the first place? Oh.

Oh, I get it.

All right, kid,
let me tell you the story

of my first time.
You never forget your first.

Step one, picking your prey.

Could be a total stranger.
Could be someone close to you.

I want cake now!

Charles, hurry up
and cut the cake!

Or maybe someone you just
want to shut the fuck up.

But no matter
how you slice it,

you got to find
that special someone.

♪ Everybody wants
to be different ♪

A mass murderer continued
his reign of terror today,

leaving two more dead
in his wake.

As violent crimes
continue to rise,

we urge all citizens
of Hackensack

not to go out alone at night.

♪ ♪

Kim, you here for Devon?
I don't have him till fifth.

No, actually I'm‐‐I'm here
officially, Ms. Fairchild.

Oh.
I'd like to talk

about Jake Wheeler.

Well, I'm sorry,
but I'm not really comfortable

talking about my students,

especially one that's been
through what Jake has recently,

Detective Evans.

Look, I appreciate
your concern for these kids.

It's my job
to be concerned too.

But not just for them,
for everyone in the community.

Great, then you understand
my position.

What I understand is
everywhere Jake Wheeler goes,

death seems to follow.

Now maybe his father
and housekeeper

were just accidents,

but I think Jake knows more
than he's saying.

I'm sorry,
but are you suggesting‐‐

And if he does
know something,

who's to say one of these kids
won't be the next to be hurt?

I'm sorry.
I can't help you.

Can't or won't?

♪ ♪

Oh, um...
Am I too late to say "boo"?

I'll allow it.
Hey, you doing okay?

Yeah, I'm totally fine.
It's‐‐it's no big deal.

Well, I think
it's a big deal.

I mean, what Lexy did to you,
that was cruel and disgusting.

I'm sorry you had to see that.

I can't imagine
how much that hurt.

Well, thanks.

I wish I could like‐‐

Never mind.
No, it's stupid, no.

No, tell me.

Well, I wish I could, like,

protect you or something.

I mean, I guess
it does hurt a little.

I still can't believe
she did that.

You must have been so angry.

Well, I mean,
of course, I was angry.

You know,
Lexy can be a real bitch.

You know what she's like.

I mean, no, no, no,
we're cool now.

It's‐‐no, but she was
just messing around.

Oh.

Oh, um,

I got to go do a project‐‐
homework, and‐‐

I‐‐I got to go.
Uh, see you later?

I don't know.
Uh, I mean, maybe.

See you, Devon.

♪ ♪

Jake, perfect.
We need to chat.

Uh‐‐
I mean, I'm‐‐

I'm meeting some friends
and I'm kind of late.

It'll just take a minute.

I just wanted you
to hear it from me.

I've asked your aunt and uncle

to come in for a meeting
with me tonight.

What, why?
Did I do something wrong?

No, no, no, no, Jake,
you haven't.

I'm also inviting
Lexy's parents.

I think this whole thing

between the two of you has
gotten a little out of hand,

and I think getting
the parents‐‐um, I'm sorry,

the‐‐the guardians
together will help

to diffuse the situation.
You don't have to do that.

You know, me and Lexy are
really cool now.

It's‐‐
it's all good.

I saw the pictures
from Oliver's party.

They're all over school.

You don't need to pretend

like everything's fine, Jake.

Um‐‐

you know what,
this whole parent‐‐

guardian meetup thing,
it's‐‐it's‐‐it's great.

Yeah, it's a really good idea.

Yeah, um‐‐
Okay.

Um, yeah, see you later.

Uh, listen.

I want you to know
that if you're ever

in any sort of trouble,
I just want you to know

that you can always come to me,
yeah? You can trust me.

Thanks, Miss F.
Okay.

The next thing you got to do

is really get to know
your victim.

Whatever, don't care.

You know, Dad took us
to a wax museum once.

Totally sucked.

But they had this
"Chamber of Terror,"

torture stuff.

All these insane tools
on a wall just like this one.

It was actually pretty cool.

You look even weirder
than usual right now.

W‐‐Why are you even here?

I'm here because
I need to talk to you,

if you can fit me into
your busy gardening schedule.

Okay, talk.

I want to...apologize

for the whole dead dad
Halloween costume thing.

I guess I can sort of see why
you'd take that the wrong way.

There was a right way?

All right, okay, um...

Sometimes when I'm upset, I...

hurt people or something.

And it‐‐
Look, I'm sorry

I hurt your feelings. I am.

Even though you're like a weird
social tumor who's creepy AF

and you thought you could mess
with me at the talent show.

I just thought since
maybe I was a little harsh,

I should be the bigger man.

You know, I think people really
underestimate my humility.

Anyway,

now that I've done this,
like, act of charity,

I'm sure you want to know
what you can do for me.

Wasn't really thinking that,
but, uh,

hey, Lexy,
what could I do for you?

Chucky.
Chucky?

Yeah.
Can I, like, have him?

Not for me.
I think he's totally creepy.

For Caroline.
N‐no, no, absolutely not. No.

Excuse me?
You can't have him

for any reason.
You‐‐you can never have him.

stay away from him from now on.

Mom, I told you,
I barely know him.

No, of course not.

But I think I have to draw
the line at certain people.

Certain people?

That's crazy.
What did he do?

Well, for one, people seem
to drop dead around him.

Jake's dad died and now
you're making Jake the bad guy?

This isn't about Jake's dad.
This is about my son.

Yeah, this feels very caring.

Either Jake is trouble,

mixed up in it.

If anything, she's the victim.

typical name‐calling.
