Speaker 1: M Thirteen Days of Halloween, Devil's Night, a production of
Speaker 1: I Heart three D Audio, Blumhouse Television and Grimm and
Speaker 1: Mild from Aaron Mackey. Headphones recommended. Listener discretion advised. Are
Speaker 1: you sleeping? Max? Come on? Is SAT? Weekend? H Yeah?
Speaker 1: Drink this? What is it? Only water? Oh? Good? Ah?
Speaker 1: My eyes full of smoke. Give it time. The burning
Speaker 1: will stop for zero. Oh anybody? What happened? You passed
Speaker 1: out from the heat? Take it slow? I'm all right?
Speaker 1: Where are we? Out of danger? Here? You Goodboddy, good boy.
Speaker 1: I can see the water tower, which means that's main street,
Speaker 1: which means we're nearly home. How did I get here?
Speaker 1: I thought we were miles away. M I carried you
Speaker 1: and Arrow two and arrow two. You want to go
Speaker 1: ahead and carry us the rest of the way? I
Speaker 1: could know that was m hm. I don't mean to
Speaker 1: be rude. I mean to say, thank you for not
Speaker 1: leaving us behind. Why would I leave you behind? I
Speaker 1: don't know what you would or wouldn't do. All I'm
Speaker 1: trying to say is I appreciate what you did back there.
Speaker 1: I think nothing of it, but erin I can take
Speaker 1: it from here. I see so I guess you can
Speaker 1: find your own way home. I am not sure. I
Speaker 1: have never been here before. H Really, how's that seems
Speaker 1: like you know your way around? Yes, it is strange.
Speaker 1: I know the fields, the rails, the river, the night wind,
Speaker 1: the outer places, the ways of coming and going. But
Speaker 1: I suppose people like me do not make a lot
Speaker 1: of trips into town. Maybe you could show me around, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: what is this building? That's the creamery where dad worked
Speaker 1: before the accident, but it's closed now for Halloween. No,
Speaker 1: for good. That's the bank it's close to. And here's
Speaker 1: main Street. It's so quiet, Yes it is. Where is everybody?
Speaker 1: Maybe they did as they were told and stayed off
Speaker 1: the streets. I don't know if I believe that. So
Speaker 1: earlier in the fields by the orchard, when me and
Speaker 1: Narrow found you, what were you doing out there? That
Speaker 1: is where you were, right? But what about you? I
Speaker 1: suppose I was eating in a scarecrow costume for someone
Speaker 1: to what get lost? They need your help, not for someone,
Speaker 1: max for you. And again on the roadside, on the
Speaker 1: train tracks, in that carnival, in that shanty town, and
Speaker 1: under that bridge, Yes, waiting, why are you following me?
Speaker 1: Maybe that is something you can answer for me. Max.
Speaker 1: Why do you always need someone to save your life
Speaker 1: everywhere you go? How should I know? All I can
Speaker 1: figure out is you keep hurting people everywhere you go.
Speaker 1: The boys in the field who wanted to kill you
Speaker 1: over a few dollars, the ones at the fair pouring
Speaker 1: sand down your throat. Did they not all want to
Speaker 1: hurt you? I mean I guess yes. So what you're
Speaker 1: like the shadow finding crime in the moonlight? It's a
Speaker 1: just for me personally. Who knows what evil works and
Speaker 1: the hearts of men? This is so weird. You needed me,
Speaker 1: and so I came to help. I don't need you,
Speaker 1: maybe not, but here I am anyway. The candy store
Speaker 1: is open in the mood for something sweet? No, well maybe,
Speaker 1: but it's not the time. It's just everything else looks closed. No,
Speaker 1: it seems like someone is home. Is that the church?
Speaker 1: The Bradbury Community Center? Yeah, but I don't want to
Speaker 1: go anywhere near that place, no religion. They have a
Speaker 1: party tonight, the Halloween safety party, and you do not
Speaker 1: like these. It's the key kids off the streets. So
Speaker 1: one it's for babies, and two I'm not trying to
Speaker 1: go anywhere but home. We'll take the alley behind the pharmacy.
Speaker 1: I thought you did not want me to follow you.
Speaker 1: He said you would anyway, and I don't know how
Speaker 1: I would stop you. You know this town well lived
Speaker 1: here all my life. All the short cuts right like
Speaker 1: at the end of this alley will come out behind
Speaker 1: the fountain in the park. That old building that's the courthouse.
Speaker 1: This is town square and next to it there's a
Speaker 1: light on. That's the police station. Better stay away. It
Speaker 1: seems like the cops are really hopped up tonight. Quick
Speaker 1: ye officers, Officer six, you gotta help. It's my wife.
Speaker 1: Hold on, Fred, I got my hands full already. But
Speaker 1: but there's something wrong. She won't get off the phone.
Speaker 1: The phone. You're gonna have to figure that one out yourself. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I mean like like she's got something wrong in the head.
Speaker 1: She was calling her sister and then she gets on
Speaker 1: with the operator and she just keeps talking in circles
Speaker 1: all night, and it doesn't make any sense. What do
Speaker 1: you want me to do? Knock her unconscious to save
Speaker 1: you a phone bill. No, there's there's something wrong, fred, friend. Look,
Speaker 1: I got buildings on fire, I got hell raisers beating
Speaker 1: old ladies half to death. For god knows why. You
Speaker 1: go home and work things out with your wife and
Speaker 1: lock your doors. I'm not kidding every boy out past purfew.
Speaker 1: We're resting on site. These little sons of bitches got
Speaker 1: the devil in them? Who should go a different way?
Speaker 1: I think it is best to stay hidden. We can
Speaker 1: think second, there's less store friends this way. Damn that
Speaker 1: way either, Okay, new plan? Does a payphone around the
Speaker 1: corner outside the library. I'll call home. Maybe Mom? Can
Speaker 1: you want of the neighbors to give her a writing
Speaker 1: Compigasso four? I better make this quick great Mike's Mutual telephone.
Speaker 1: This is your operator. Yeah, Hello, Hello, Please insert the
Speaker 1: toll of five cents and I can complete your call
Speaker 1: when ready. I already put in the money. I think
Speaker 1: you haven't paid enough. Hello, I said, I already put
Speaker 1: the money in. I'm sorry, sir, my toll indicator is dark.
Speaker 1: Please insert five cents and then i'll take your number.
Speaker 1: Already gave you all the coins they have, they're in
Speaker 1: the machine. I'm sorry, sir. I'm not allowed to connect
Speaker 1: to you until toll is paid, but I did. I'm trying.
Speaker 1: You sound like someone I know. Hello, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: call my parents. Hello, Yes, I understand. Would you like
Speaker 1: me to reverse the charges? Oh? Yeah, can you do that?
Speaker 1: No trouble at all. I'll take that number when you're ready.
Speaker 1: It's clover Hill two three three nine. Who can I say?
Speaker 1: Is calling? I'm their son? Max? Yea what color? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm here. Your mother is on the line with us. Really, Mom,
Speaker 1: it's Max. Are you there, car Max? You're already here. Long.
Speaker 1: I can't tell what you're saying. It's you, mom. If
Speaker 1: you can hear me, I'm at the pain phone off
Speaker 1: Second Street by the library. Can you come get me?
Speaker 1: Things are bad out here? Operator Hello, Hello, hello, um, hello, hello, hello, um.
Speaker 1: I don't think that was the right number. I'm sorry
Speaker 1: to hear that, so don't hang up. Okay, but you
Speaker 1: still need to speak with someone, don't you. Yes, But
Speaker 1: I couldn't tell what once you would talked with someone? Max.
Speaker 1: In fact, there's someone here who would love to talk
Speaker 1: to you right now. I think I think I need
Speaker 1: to go Hello. Hello, oh hello, there's someone else on
Speaker 1: the line, Max. And do you know what He's wanted
Speaker 1: to talk to you for a long time. He has
Speaker 1: a message for you, and he is almost ready to
Speaker 1: share it. Max. He's listening now. Wouldn't you like to
Speaker 1: say hello? No need to be shy, Hello, but I
Speaker 1: needed to talk to you. I want you to listen
Speaker 1: very clock. He's almost ready to talk to you now.
Speaker 1: He has some very important things to tell you and
Speaker 1: there's something he needs you to do. But it can
Speaker 1: take a careful listener to understand him. In fact, you've
Speaker 1: heard his voice before, but you probably didn't realize anyone
Speaker 1: was speaking. Maybe when the water was running down the
Speaker 1: gutter spout after the rain had finished, or in the
Speaker 1: kiss when you start to match, you heard him say
Speaker 1: your name. Many of his friends get to know him
Speaker 1: between stations on the radio. Have you ever heard him
Speaker 1: call out when you were playing with the radio wherever
Speaker 1: it was? You thought it was just your imagination, But
Speaker 1: it wasn't. Wasn't Now you know that was here and
Speaker 1: that's our little secret. Now he doesn't blame you for
Speaker 1: not listening before. Like I said, his voice can be
Speaker 1: very hard to understand if you haven't already made friends.
Speaker 1: But that's why at a great Sweet Will telephone, our
Speaker 1: commitment is to help you. Here. Every voice as clear
Speaker 1: as now, Max, be very still and listen. He's somewhere
Speaker 1: down below. But oh, here he comes now much do
Speaker 1: you feel that he's coming up? He's here, Max, he's
Speaker 1: ready to talk to you. Say hello, Max. Give me that.
Speaker 1: What was that it? It's like I caught in my head.
Speaker 1: I couldn't hang up. What did they say? I can
Speaker 1: barely remember. It was bad? They wanted me to do
Speaker 1: something bad? Do you know to answer it? There's something
Speaker 1: wrong with the phones tonight, with all of them. Do
Speaker 1: not try to use one again. I won't, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: But what was it? Lots of dangerous things have been
Speaker 1: led loose tonight. I am not the only one, all right,
Speaker 1: I guess we'll just have to walk luck. So, I
Speaker 1: don't know how to put this. But you're not just
Speaker 1: a guy, are you? You're something else? I think so.
Speaker 1: So where did you come from before you were in
Speaker 1: the field? Mm hmm? I do not know? What? How
Speaker 1: can you not know? I do not know? You mean
Speaker 1: you don't remember anything from before? Some things I remember
Speaker 1: being underneath something, something heavy, pressing down, like being buried
Speaker 1: under a mountain. We're at the bottom of the ocean.
Speaker 1: And then and then what belief stop right there. M h,
Speaker 1: stay here, I will take care of them. No, no,
Speaker 1: we've got to run. I said, come on this way, Donald,
Speaker 1: we can hide in the creamery I know when. Yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, we should be safe in here. It's been
Speaker 1: deserted since last year. This is where your father worked. Yeah,
Speaker 1: over here, this is how they make powdered milk. He
Speaker 1: should be One time the milk lousouthe evaporator and then
Speaker 1: it goes into these tanks. They do something else, then
Speaker 1: it gets turned into dust in the drying tower here.
Speaker 1: I remember Dad used to say it was dangerous even
Speaker 1: before the accident. He'd say, hot powdered milk might as
Speaker 1: well be cold. Us one spark in there, and it's
Speaker 1: called bluey, Thank you and good night. He was always
Speaker 1: saying the tower was messed up, that was gonna up
Speaker 1: and explode one day. But he kept coming to work
Speaker 1: every morning anyway. I guess I always thought he was
Speaker 1: joking until it happened. Dad was on the other side
Speaker 1: of the floor, so he could have gotten hurt a
Speaker 1: lot worse. His friend Jack got burned up in the
Speaker 1: fire in her neighbor. Mr Glazer got hid in the
Speaker 1: head by a piece of metal, and now his wife
Speaker 1: has to remind him who he is ten times a day.
Speaker 1: I guess he's kind of like you. I can't even
Speaker 1: remember where he came from. I do remember. I remember
Speaker 1: there were lots of us who others like me, others
Speaker 1: of me. We were all huddled together in the dark,
Speaker 1: like newborn mice in a litter. It was warm and loud,
Speaker 1: touching all over, skin to skin. Then something terrible happened.
Speaker 1: We were all torn apart, farther and farther away m
Speaker 1: and the world got very cold and lonely and boring,
Speaker 1: so boring. All I could do was sleep, And for
Speaker 1: a long time nothing happened until I met you, and
Speaker 1: then I was here. I remember in the field. My
Speaker 1: first thought was realizing I had hands and that you
Speaker 1: needed help. You had enemies, which meant I had enemies,
Speaker 1: which meant everything finally made sense. Max. I think you
Speaker 1: are the reason I exist. I I don't know what
Speaker 1: to say, except that sounds crazy. I would not lie
Speaker 1: to you. I don't think you would. But you kill
Speaker 1: people to run them off the road and break their necks,
Speaker 1: throw them off trains, light them on fire, and do
Speaker 1: you do it all for me? Yes, for you. If
Speaker 1: I hadn't told you to run, you would have killed
Speaker 1: those cops by the library. I was planning on it. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't want that, Do you understand? I don't care
Speaker 1: if you think you're trying to help me. I don't
Speaker 1: want you following me around murdering people everywhere I go.
Speaker 1: You understand? So will you stop? I do not know?
Speaker 1: What do you mean? I do not know if I
Speaker 1: was stopped you don't know, then leave me the hell alone.
Speaker 1: Can you just do that if you want? Well I do?
Speaker 1: Are you sure? Yes? Get out of here. It's not
Speaker 1: following me. I understand if I do not see you again.
Speaker 1: Goodbye Max, Goodbye Basil, Basilo. Don't worry Arrow, We'll be
Speaker 1: all right without him. Maybe we should just try to
Speaker 1: hide out in here, sleep till morning. What do you think? Okay,
Speaker 1: this spot looks soft enough. Come on, buddy, maybe tomorrow
Speaker 1: everything would just sleep back to normal. Are you sleeping? Max?
Speaker 1: Come on? I said, is it morning? Does it look
Speaker 1: like morning? Your little piss aunt? Do you hear birds chirp?
Speaker 1: And get up? You're trust passing. I was just trying
Speaker 1: to rest your toil. Everything quieted down. Come on, hands
Speaker 1: behind your back. I didn't do anything wrong. Oh, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Is this your house? You're trust passing and you're I'll
Speaker 1: pass curve for you. And if you're like every other
Speaker 1: little teenage demon i've picked up tonight, you've probably done
Speaker 1: things that would kill your mom if she found out.
Speaker 1: You're going to the lock up until morning with the
Speaker 1: rest of the riff raff. Then we can start out.
Speaker 1: Who did what? Hey, went another one for the wagon?
Speaker 1: All right, back, come on your jackasses. Wait, what about
Speaker 1: my dog? I should have thought of that before you
Speaker 1: went out tonight. Huh. Yeah. If he's a good dog,
Speaker 1: he'll find his way home. But he don't look like
Speaker 1: a good dog to me. Get out of here, your fleabag. Alright,
Speaker 1: kid into the wagon, ero arrow, I'll find you, buddy.
Speaker 1: You it's you. You're a kid from the fair Archie. Yeah,

Speaker 1: I'll kill all of you goddamn cockroaches, all of you.
Speaker 1: Try me out. Yeah, and you, you dumb little Buckeye.
Speaker 1: You're the reason I'm stuck in this rat trap. If
Speaker 1: you would have just gotten that fucking bracelet like we said,
Speaker 1: I never would have gone back to the fair. I
Speaker 1: never would have gotten mixed up in the fire. I
Speaker 1: never would have tangled with the cops. It's all your fault.
Speaker 1: How is this my fault? God? Even if I'm out
Speaker 1: by tomorrow, there's a jail stink you can't shake off.
Speaker 1: People find out about this, they give me the boot
Speaker 1: from Yale, they keep me out of law school. My
Speaker 1: life is chicken ship and it's a door that doesn't
Speaker 1: mean any sense. When they take these cuffs off me,
