- [News Reporter] Tonight,
Stuffed Animal World
is under investigation for
unsafe working conditions
following last week's
tragic factory accident,
when a worker slipped and fell
into one of the automated
stuffing machines.
Investigators are questioning
why the incident went unnoticed
for nearly three hours
as the man's remains
were reportedly stuffed
into over 1,000 toys.
[tense ominous music]
[birds chirping]
[chickens clucking]
[Teddy snarling]
Stuffed Animal World claims
none of the toys were shipped-
- It's that damn bear again-
- However, they have issued
a recall on [indistinct]-
- After my chickens!
- [News Reporter] Barbie
doll and [indistinct].
[chickens clucking]
[Teddy growling]
[pensive music]
[Teddy snarling]
- That damn bear!
[pensive music continues]
[birds chirping]
Oh, it got my chickens,
every damn one!
[foliage crunching underfoot]
[Teddy snarls]
I'm gonna get you, you bear!
[distorted laughing]
[playful mysterious music]
[car engine rumbling]
- [laughs] Hey, fellas,
you just hangin' around?
I bet you're gonna make some
kid's birthday very special.
[cell phone ringing]
Hello?
My father, what?
Yeah, yeah, I can be right
there. All right, bye.
[warm pensive music]
[radio warbling]
- [Radio Reporter] Stuffed
Animal World's new lineup is in.
We have Piggy the
Mouse, Randy the Deer,
Binnie the Poof Bear,
and many more of your
newest favorites.
[soft pensive music]
[EKG machine beeping]
- [Father] Thank
you for coming, Son.
- It's okay, Dad.
It's gonna be okay.
- Let's not fool ourselves.
My time is almost up. [coughs]
There's some things that
I need to say before I go.
- Save your strength. We
can talk about it later.
- There is no later, Son.
I'm sorry, so sorry.
Your mother and I got divorced.
She was a good
woman, but she was...
- I know.
- The asylum was the only
place for her in her condition.
At least she didn't
suffer there for so long.
- We don't need to get
into that right now.
- My attorney, Mr. Mallory,
has all my affairs in order,
and you are to meet with him.
- I remember him.
- I know you don't care for him,
but you will be taken care of.
- I'm not concerned
about that, but-
- What is it, Son?
- What about the woodlands?
- Your childhood haunts,
forgotten and overgrown.
Forget about the wood lot.
- It meant a lot to me.
- You must promise me
you would never go there.
- Why?
- Just promise. Never
return there, please.
- Okay, I promise.
- Thank you.
To you, it was a fun
escape as a child,
but bad things happened there,
things I must account
for on the other side.
- What are you talkin' about?
- Things you will never
have to worry about.
Just stay away from
it all, please.
- You're not making any sense.
- I may be dying,
but I am in control
of my mental faculties.
You needn't concern
yourself of this anymore.
Live your life to
its fullest, Son.
Could you get me
some water, Duncan?
- Sure, hang on.
[solemn music]
[father coughing]
[EKG machine beeping]
[cup clatters]
Father!
[tense music]
[crickets chirping]
- Just promise, never
return to that place.
- Okay, I promise.
- To you, it was a
fun escape as a child,
but bad things happened there,
things I must account
for on the other side.
- What are you talkin' about?
- Things you will never
have to worry about.
Just stay away from
it all, please.
- You're not makin' any sense.
- I may be dying,
but I am in control
of my mental faculties.
You needn't concern
yourself anymore.
Live your life to
its fullest, Son.
[crickets chirping]
[soft tense music]
[bright music]
[people chattering]
- Can I get anything
else for ya?
- No, I'm fine, thank you.
- Are you sure? You look like
you lost your best friend.
- I just lost my father.
- Oh! Oh, I am so sorry.
I shouldn't have.
- It's okay. We
weren't that close.
If you wanna chat, maybe you
could have a seat. [indistinct]
- Sure.
If it makes you feel any
better, drink's on me.
- Thanks.
- You from around these parts?
- Yeah, I grew up around
here. Left when I was 15.
In town for the funeral.
It's been a while.
- Mm, must be kinda neat,
revisiting your old
stomping grounds.
- Yes and no. It's bittersweet.
- I've only been livin' around
here for about four years.
Had the chance to go
back to my hometown
for a high school reunion.
- How was that experience?
- Weird.
[Duncan laughs]
I mean, you have all
those good-looking guys,
who are kinda ugly right now,
and the nerds, they're starting
to look kinda hot! [laughs]
Then there's the cliques,
but think that's always
gonna be a thing, you know?
You wanna know the
real strange part?
- What's that?
- Everything, the houses, the
neighborhood, the streets,
everything seems smaller.
I mean, 'cause when you're a
kid, everything seems so big.
- Yeah, you're not
seeing the world
through the eyes
of a child anymore.
So much different when you
become an adult. [sighs]
- Yeah, it is.
- Oh, I already got the bill.
- Oh, it's not a bill.
It's my phone number.
Why don't you give me a call
if you ever need to chat?
- I will, thanks.
- You're welcome.
- [Announcer]
Stuffed Animal World
has all your stuffed animal
needs, from apes to zebras!
And every one of
our toys is filled
with only the finest
organically-farmed
and sourced materials
from around the world!
[soft ominous music]
[wind blowing]
[birds chirping]
- I'm sorry, Duncan.
- Mr. Mallory.
- Been a long time.
- Sure has. Seven
years, I think.
- Your father was
always proud of you.
- He was?
- He may never have
said it, but he was.
- Guess it doesn't matter now.
- When you feel up to
it, stop by my office.
It's on Wingate Street now.
We can settle the estate.
- How 'bout tomorrow?
- Tomorrow? Don't you need time-
- To grieve? I spent a lifetime
doin' that, Mr. Mallory.
Like to get this over
as soon as possible.
I'm stayin' at
the hotel in town.
What time tomorrow
is best for you?
- Certainly. Say after one p.m.?
- Fine, I'll see ya then.
[soft ominous music continues]
- f*cking weirdo.
[crickets chirping]
[tense pensive music]
- I know it's
somewhere in this area.
[tense music]
[foliage crunching underfoot]
[Teddy snarling]
- [Announcer] Come on down
to Stuffed Animal World.
Our 10,000-square-foot warehouse
is bursting with every
stuffed animal possible,
from our best-selling
bears, rabbits, and dogs,
to rare ones, like octopus,
shrews, and even jackals.
If you can dream,
we already have it
at Stuffed Animal World.
[tense music continues]
[crickets chirping]
- Well, I'll be!
[laughs] How are ya, old friend?
You look good! [laughs]
Yeah, let's see if we can
find your other pals, okay?
[warm music]
Oh, look at what we
found! Gatey! [laughs]
Hi! Yeah, my buddies,
buddies for life.
Hi, Gatey. [laughs] Yeah.
Whoa, looky, guys!
[laughs] It's Tiggy!
Oh, my goodness, Tiggy!
Look, Topper, you were
askin' about Tiggy.
I know you did.
"Duncan, where Tiggy at?"
I said, "Right over
there, somewhere."
Oh, Chunky too! Yes, I missed
you so much! [smooching]
[Duncan laughs]
Yes, we're [indistinct] found
almost everybody so far.
[laughs] Let's see where
the rest of 'em are.
[gasps] How could
I forget Piggy?
[laughs] Piggy!
[indistinct] Yes, Croc, he's
all excited that Piggy's here.
Oh, boy, yes. We're gonna have
a good time, [laughs] yeah.
[Teddy snarls] [tense music]
[birds chirping and squawking]
Oh! Hey, guy, look.
Remember when we painted
that? [laughs] Yeah, yeah.
That old fort's gotta be
around here somewhere.
Oh, there's the
fort. We found it!
Oh, it's so good to be back.
[warm pensive music]
Yeah.
Can't believe it's still here.
[laughs] Look,
look! This is great!
Oh, it's just like we left it!
[warm pensive music continues]
Look, Piggy! [laughs]
[laughs] Piggy,
right there, buddy.
And then Tiggy goes to there,
Crocky here, and Topster.
Yeah. [indistinct]
All right, guys.
You're gonna stay right here.
I'll be right back.
Don't go anywhere, okay?
[soft tense music]
[birds chirping]
[foliage crunching underfoot]
[Teddy warbles]
[Teddy snarls]
[Teddy roars]
[Teddy snarls]
[Teddy roars]
The trailer, used for
reunions. Still here.
[tense pensive music]
[crickets chirping]
Yeah, I remember.
[tense pensive music continues]
[exhales] Still looks the
same, lost in the '80s.
[foliage crunching underfoot]
- What the hell
are you doing here?
Answer me!
- I'm Duncan Williams. My
family owns this property.
- Glad! It is you!
- Mr. Trenton, it's been
so long. How you doin'?
- Terrible about your
father! I'm so sorry!
- Yeah, thank you,
I appreciate it.
Surprised you're still
workin' for my father.
- Well, not after this
termination letter!
- What? This is awful.
They can't be doing this.
- If you ask me, I guess
it's all Mallory's doin'.
That guy never liked me.
In the past few years,
there was a lot of digging,
then burying, and
digging, then burying.
I just don't get it.
- [exhales] So what are they
doin' with the wood lot?
- You know, between you and I,
I think there's illegal
things going on these grounds.
Word has it that they're
gonna level this whole grounds
to make storage units.
- What?
- Yeah.
- They can't be doin' this.
- Well, they'll
do what they want.
- I have a meeting with
Mr. Mallory tomorrow.
I'll get this straightened out.
- So if you can give
me a good word...
Without this job,
I'd have nothin'.
I do have a small home
at the edge of the woods.
It's not much, but it's home.
- Sure, sure, of course.
All right, well, it
was good seein' you.
- It's great seein' you,
sir! You have a great day.
- Stay safe.
- Yes!
- [Duncan] I'll be in touch.
- Definitely!
[mysterious music]
[crickets chirping]
[birds squawking]
[Teddy snarling]
- Mr. Trenton? Is that you?
[mysterious music continues]
[Teddy growling]
[Duncan laughs]
Hey, hi!
I bet you thought I'd never
be back, but never again!
Come on, Topper, and
Piggy, and Crocky!
Come on, bubby. And Tiggy,
and Chunky! Yeah, let's go!
[laughs] I'm gonna
have so much fun!
[mysterious music continues]
We're gonna have so much
fun today, guys, I tell you!
[laughs] Yeah!
Oh.
Funny how things change.
Piggy, what did I
say about eatin'
all them chocolate
chip cookies? [laughs]
[Duncan humming]
[Teddy snarling]
[Duncan laughs]
We're goin' on a
ride. Come on, guys.
Get in. [laughs]
In you go, Tiggy. You're
gonna sit right there, buddy.
And then Chunky right
there with you, and Piggy!
You guys gonna go for a
ride. Yeah, you ready?
[indistinct] Yes, and
Crocky and Toppy. Okay.
[laughs] Yes, my
buddies are back! Yay!
All right! You
guys gotta behave.
No distractin' the
driver back there!
I said [indistinct] keep
your head down in the back!
[crickets chirping]
[tense energetic music]
- Tonight, we mourn the death
of industrial magnate
Filbert Williams,
our own local hero,
whose industry provided
hundreds of jobs
for our community.
Farewell to a true champion
of the industry world.
And in related news, we
turn to a developing story
of reports of strange noises
coming from a thicket of woods
owned by the late Mr. Williams.
[tense energetic
music continues]
- Me and the other guys
were up on this ridge,
clearin' trees for the
new construction project,
when we heard this
strange noise.
It came and went, but we
never saw what was makin' it.
- We believe the noises
are due to some digging
and mining by the
Filbert Industries.
However, we have
received some reports
of a large animal,
possibly a bear,
and we are warning residents
to be on the lookout.
- A bear?
- It was definitely an
animal of some type,
prowlin' around,
but outta sight.
Only predators do that.
They slowly move in on
ya, then go for the k*ll!
Now, I think it was a bear.
We saw footprints around that
kinda look like a bear's,
or was it aliens?
You ever seen that
"Fire in the Sky" movie?
[tense music]
- It got all my chickens,
every damn one of 'em!
All of 'em! All that's
left is the feathers.
I called the sheriff, I
called the game warden!
I even called the FBI,
and nobody'll do a
damn thing about it!
[sighs] What the hell do
we pay taxes for anyway?
Well, the next time you
reporters are out here,
you're gonna find a bear hide
hangin' on that tree over there.
I am not standin' for it!
- This has been the
best-paying job I've ever had.
He will be in my
prayers tonight.
Tomorrow, though, I'll be
right back on that line
for the man who has
done so much for me.
- Three generations of my
family worked in his factories.
He gave back to the community
in many generous ways.
This is a sad loss for us all.
- All right, we're
back on the show.
We're gonna depart from
our normal subject matter
a little bit, and
talk about somethin'
that's been kind
of troublin' me.
Gonna talk about
stuffed animals.
- [Podcaster] There's an
infestation! Burn 'em all!
- Yeah, I don't
know about burning.
We definitely don't need more.
Like, we have filling landfills,
and they're f*ckin'
garbage. [laughs]
Honestly, they're-
- For over 30 years.
- Companies like Animal World,
they've been in our area
for the last 30 years,
and just makin'
ridiculous amounts of,
just excess materials
they're usin'
for the manufacturing
of animals,
and it's just all
going in the dump.
And it's just filling
up, and it's just bad.
It's just bad for
the environment,
and just, they're just f*ckin'
weird and creepy anyways.
- Yeah, yeah.
- What do you think?
- I had to burn my mother's
bear collection as a kid,
just because I had
a feeling back then,
somethin' bad was gonna
come from that toy.
And now, look where we are.
Now there's bears just
tearin' up the town.
- They're just
over-running everything.
- It's horrible.
- Shit's gotta stop.
And we'll be back after
word from our sponsor.
[tense music]
- "Why did you leave us, Duncan?
"We used to have so much fun!"
"The wood lot belongs to us!
"You won't let anybody take it.
"Then we won't have
anywhere to live!"
"Let's go live in the trailer,
"and play in the woods and
the fort like we used to."
[tense music continues]
[Duncan laughing]
[eerie music]
- They don't care!
All that hard work and
labor that I did for years!
Though especially that son of
a bitch and bastard, Mallory,
oh, it's all his doing!
Oh, every time, chasing
me out of my home!
I have nowhere else to go.
All the hard work,
slaving over the land!
"Oh, I'm a son of a
bitch and bastard."
Oh, yeah, I'm not gonna
miss that shit anyway.
[foliage crunching underfoot]
Who's there? I have one
more day to get out.
[Teddy growls] [foliage
crunching underfoot]
[eerie music]
I wish I had another drink!
[dramatic tense music]
[Mr. Trenton screams]
[Teddy snarls]
[flesh squelching]
[blood spurting]
[tense music]
- Duncan, the papers? You came
here to sign them, remember?
- I have to ask you
a few questions.
- Well, it's all right here.
You get your father's full
stock holdings, his savings,
his houses, and his yacht.
The only thing the company will
hold on to is the wood lot.
- What's goin' on
with the wood lot?
- I don't know what you mean.
- Why isn't it part
of the settlement?
- Those were your
father's wishes.
That land has no value,
other than the clearing
that's going to be done.
- The clearing? What did
my father do exactly?
- He worked in pharmaceuticals,
medical research,
stuff like that.
The wood lot is going to
be cleared to make way
for storage of
product and equipment.
Why?
You're walking away with
considerable assets.
You're a wealthy man now.
What does a stretch of
old woods mean to anyone?
- It means everything to me.
I grew up there, I played
there. I want that property.
- Your father's will
clearly states that-
- He's dead. Only you
and I know what he said.
It can be changed.
- It cannot.
- Other than your
overblown attorney's fees,
what if I offer you
what I'm receiving
in exchange for this wood lot?
- Why, that's illegal. I can't.
I couldn't.
I mean, I really...
- Exactly, I knew you
would consider it.
- It is a tantalizing
offer, but no.
I insist you sign these papers.
I can't, I can't
accept your offer.
- I would also like
provisions for Mr. Trenton.
- That old fool? He was
supposed to be off that land.
- Well, he isn't yet. I
ran into him yesterday.
- What were you doing out there?
- Reminiscing.
- [sighs] What did that
crazy fool tell you?
- Maybe nothing, maybe a lot.
Would be unfair to
treat someone so badly
that might know so much.
I mean, what if he got drunk
and said a bunch
of things, right?
- Are you trying
to blackmail me?
- I'm just trying to get you
to see things through my eyes.
I'll be back in a few
days to sign the papers
after you've thought about
our changes to the will
and our deal.
I'll see you in a few
days, Mr. Mallory.
Have a nice evening.
[tense music]
- Stupid kid! Money,
homes, stocks, yachts?
Throw it away for a
bunch of property?
[tense music continues]
- We're headed for the
trailer for a few days
so Mr. Mallory could
think about the deal.
[tense music continues]
[birds chirping]
[Teddy snarls]
[foliage crunching underfoot]
Yeah, Tiggy, you're looking
good these days, buddy! [laughs]
Your mane's lookin' pretty good.
Yes, and then Piggy,
how you been, buddy?
[laughs] You look cute!
Yeah! Lookin' good,
buddy, and Gatey.
He's always lookin'
out for you guys.
Yeah, he's sneaky.
[laughs] Yeah.
Hiya, Topper! Oh, my
goodness, I missed you!
Gettin' so big! [laughs] Yeah.
Remember when we used
to play, you know,
the little hide-and-seek
thing there?
Yeah, yeah, yes,
you do. [laughs]
Well, it's kinda
odd we're all here,
and I don't see Teddy around.
You know, I don't know
where he coulda went.
You know, he's always wanderin'
around the woods and stuff.
[sighs] Well...
[birds chirping]
[tense music continues]
Maybe we should go see
if we could find him.
What you think, you
think, Tigger? [laughs]
Teddy! Teddy, where are you?
Teddy, where are you?
Hold on, Gatey, no bustin'
out. You'll fall out back.
[laughs] Gatey's silly.
Come on, Teddy
Bear, where are you?
Come on out and play!
You remember me!
Yeah, you're doin' good, Topper.
Stay in good, keep your
hands in there. [indistinct]
Stay seated, Crocky,
you're gonna fall. [laughs]
Don't do that. Get
your head in there.
Here we go!
Hold on! [laughs] Whee!
[exhales] That was fun!
[groans] Criss-cross
appie-sauce!
[Duncan laughs]
See what we got
here, story time.
Ooh, this a good one. [laughs]
"Bugs Jug." [laughs]
[exhales] It's never easy
to let go of your childhood,
no matter how old you are.
[fire crackling]
[crickets chirping]
♪ Ring around the rosie,
the pocket doo-doo-doo-doo ♪
Yeah, I love these
things. [indistinct]
Hey, hey, Gatey, here
you are, buddy. Yeah!
Nom, nom, nom,
nom, nom! [laughs]
Don't eat it too fast. You'll
get a tummy ache. [laughs]
Yeah, you like that, huh? Yeah.
And then Tiggy,
[indistinct] too.
[mimics munching] Right
there, buddy, right there.
We'll get some more fires,
whoo. Warm. [laughs]
How 'bout you, Piggy? Here
you go, bubby. [laughs]
Slow down, you'll make a
mess of yourself. [laughs]
Gotta save some for Chunky.
Ooh, Chunky like it too, huh?
You guys love the marshmallow.
All right, Topper, hold on.
Gotta get one warmed
up again. [laughs]
Yeah [indistinct].
You like this, huh?
Yeah, all right, Topper.
There you go, buddy.
Yum, yum, yum, yum.
I know, no, you're gonna
make a mess of yourself.
Piggy too. [laughs] Yeah, mm!
Lookin' pretty good.
Hmm, gonna try and see if we
can get ahold of Mr. Mallory.
[fire crackling]
[mysterious pensive music]
Hmm.
No dial tone or nothin' here.
Come on, come on, baby. [laughs]
We gotta see what's goin' on!
Hmm, dang it, phone! [sighs]
Reception is
terrible, guys! Ugh!
Mr. Mallory doesn't
agree to our terms,
we may have to make him
see it our way. [laughs]
Yes! Nobody takin'
us away from here!
Nuh-nuh! Mm-mm! [laughs]
You want some more,
Topper? [laughs]
[Teddy snarls]
[tense music]
[crickets chirping]
[Teddy growls]
- [grunts] I gotta stay awake
if I wanna catch that damn bear.
[tense music continues]
[crickets chirping]
[Teddy roars]
[Teddy snarls]
[g*n fires]
Oh, I'm gettin' spooked.
[tense music continues]
[crickets chirping]
Well, that's it for me tonight.
[Teddy roars]
[dramatic tense music]
[Teddy snarls]
[woman screams]
[flesh squelching]
- Well, what's your answer?
Do we agree on my terms?
- I've given it some
thought, and yes,
I think we can come
to an agreement.
But this can't get out.
- Your secret's safe with me.
Nobody will know.
We could put a no-contest
clause in the will
if you feel that
something's suspicious.
It's no surprise that my
father and I weren't close.
There should be no problems.
- Why?
Why would you give up this vast
fortune for a plot of land?
- I have my reasons,
just like you have yours
for wanting everything else.
- Have you seen Mr. Trenton?
- [Duncan] No, why?
- I sent some men out there to
escort him off the property,
and he was nowhere to be found.
- Maybe he left already.
He was very upset.
- Yes, maybe so.
Well, I'll draw
up the new papers
and we'll finish
this bit of business.
Will you be stopping back in?
- I'll be in touch. We
have to be discrete.
- Yes, we certainly
do, don't we?
I'll get to work on this.
- Good day.
- I'm going to be
rich, rich! [laughs]
[car brakes screeching]
- Well, thanks for comin'
by, and on my break too!
Wasn't quite sure you
were gonna show up.
I figured you woulda moved on
once everything got settled.
- I've decided to stick
around a little while longer.
- Well, I am not
disappointed to hear that!
You feelin' better?
- Much better. Reconnected
with some old friends.
- [Friend] Yeah?
- One's bein' a
little evasive though.
- Hmm. Well, maybe
they moved away.
It has been a long time.
- Yeah, maybe.
I have a feelin' he's around
a corner somewhere. We'll see.
- Well, good luck locating
him. You could try Facebook.
A lotta people have
reconnected there.
- Yeah, I don't think
my friend uses Facebook.
- [Friend] Hey, did you
hear about the m*rder?
- m*rder? What?
- Oh, this old lady
who owns a chicken farm
got k*lled last night!
Think it was a bear.
- A bear? That's not good.
- Mm-mm, that's two killings
within a week's time.
That's real strange. That
doesn't happen around here.
I just hope it moves on before
more people are att*cked.
- Yeah, bears don't
usually attack people.
- [Friend] Mm-mm.
- Maybe the cubs
were threatened.
- No, the game warden
said he only found
a single set of tracks
belonging to a large bear.
Maybe it was marking
out its territory.
If they find it, they're
gonna have to k*ll it.
- It's a shame.
Why can't animals and
people just live peacefully
with one another?
- It's a noble thought, but a
wild animal is a wild animal.
- Does this kinda thing
happen around here?
- No, but it seems
to be increasing
with the expansion of
that pharmaceutical plant.
Maybe he just got
some bad dr*gs.
- Yeah, maybe.
[playful upbeat music]
[ominous droning]
- It's about time!
You know you work for me and
me only, so listen close.
I need you to go out to
the wood lot property
near the plant.
Yes, the one we've
been dumping on.
If you give me a minute, I'll
tell you what you need to do.
Go out there as soon as possible
and look for any
signs of the material.
Hide it or cover it
up if it's exposed.
No, it won't hurt you.
Just don't touch it.
No, plans have changed. The
property is going to the kid.
Yes, you'll be well
paid, very well paid.
Now, get to it and
keep in touch. Bye.
[Mr. Mallory laughs]
[birds chirping]
[tense droning]
- I hope Mallory knows
what he's talking about.
[birds chirping]
[ominous droning]
[Teddy snarls]
Bingo.
Well, guess I better
bury these proper.
It's gonna cost
Mallory extra though.
[ominous music]
Well, it's about
damn time, Mallory.
What have I been doing?
I'm out in these damn
woods doing what you asked,
or did you forget?
Yeah, I found a bunch of 'em.
One of 'em was
broken open though.
[Teddy snarling]
No, I took care of it.
Buried them far enough,
nothing will ever find it.
This is gonna cost
ya extra though.
[Teddy snarling]
Sure, I'll be by later tonight.
Have my money.
I don't wanna have to
dig another hole for you.
[Teddy growling]
[man screams]
[shovel thudding]
[tense music]
[fire crackling]
[tense droning]
[Teddy roars in distance]
- Who could that be?
Hello?
[fire crackling]
[Teddy growling in distance]
- Hey there, guys.
It's time to get this
discussion rollin',
and our first order
of business tonight
is the lawsuit with
Stuffed Animal World.
You guys hear about that stuff?
- Yeah, the Native
American one, right?
- Yeah, apparently
they've been puttin'
just all sorts of chemicals
all over their products.
- I thought that was
supposed to be organic.
You lied to me!
- Uh, I don't know, man.
I mean, maybe they
figure doin' it
in the old Indian burial ground
will offer that little
bit of organic flavor.
- You know, for kids.
- Is nothing good
enough anymore?
I just had a huge order come in.
Now those orphans are
gonna have to go without,
because if it ain't
organic, they don't want it.
- f*ck them kids.
[Duncan groans]
- Here, Tiggy. [laughs]
Yeah, Piggy. Come on, bubby.
[ominous music]
[crickets chirping]
[foliage crunching underfoot]
You guys stay here,
okay? [shushes]
[ominous music continues]
[foliage crunching underfoot]
[Teddy snarling]
Teddy?
Everybody misses you!
Come on, stop playin'!
Get us in trouble,
be out all night.
Right, right, Topper?
Always playing hide-and-seek
games, I tell ya, this guy.
I love him, but you know,
he does these things.
Teddy! Come on!
We're lookin' for ya. We're
gonna have some cupcakes!
Hooray, right, Tiggy? Yeah,
you like them cupcakes, I know.
They're your favorite, ones
with the cream in it, yeah.
[soft tense music]
[crickets chirping]
Okay, guys, hold on.
In here, Topper, that's
better. Here you go, buddy.
Let's go. Hold on,
it's real bumpy.
- What is the meaning of this?
We were supposed to
meet at the trailer.
What is this and what
are you doing here?
- I know what you were doing
on the wood lot property.
- I don't know what
you're referring to.
[pensive music]
How did you find this?
- I think one of my stuffed
animals led me to it.
- What? Are you
feeling okay, Duncan?
- Most importantly,
what is Gantropol?
Why is it on the property?
I thought you were
clearing the space
for storage facilities?
- [sighs] All right, you
have a right to know.
Before you wanted the property,
it was all going to
be razed for storage,
storage for the Gantropol.
- What is it?
- [sighs] Gantropol
is a chemical agent
your father engineered
to help in the process
of pharmaceuticals.
It turned out to be dangerous,
so rather than bring
the EPA into it,
he secretly buried
it on the wood lot.
Once the new
facilities were built,
it was going to be
transferred to them.
- How much is on the property?
- Lots, many of these canisters.
- How dangerous is it?
- Well, I wouldn't sprinkle
it on my cereal if I were you,
but I'll make sure
it's all removed.
We'll house it in new facilities
we'll build elsewhere.
- You do that,
Mr. Mallory, you do that.
- Would you like to
sign the papers now?
I have them drawn up.
- No, we'll proceed as
we've already scheduled,
It's better that way.
- You're not changing
your mind, are you?
- Course not. Trust me.
[tense music]
[birds chirping]
I know he's out there somewhere.
[tense music] [birds chirping]
Teddy, come on!
Where are you?
[tense music builds]
[foliage crunching underfoot]
Oh!
Teddy! [laughs] I
knew you were here!
[warm music] Missed you!
I knew you were here!
Let me see you!
[singers vocalizing]
Yes, I missed you! You
were playing hide and seek?
I know it, I know! You
silly goose. [laughs]
All right, now we need Topper.
He missed you! Oh! [laughs]
Yeah, Topper excited, yes.
Can't hurt Topper,
one of your buddies.
And then we got Crocky!
[mimics chomping]
Don't bite me! No,
Crocky, shame on you!
Hmm, we missed you.
All the guys are here!
[tense music]
[cell phone ringing]
- Where is that idiot? He
said he hid the canisters.
Pick up, you moron!
[sighs] If you want
something done,
you have to do it yourself.
[tense music continues]
[birds chirping]
- [Radio Reporter] Native
Americans in the area
continue to protest
Stuffed Animal World's
latest cotton field,
which they say is built
on sacred burial grounds.
The case is expected to go
to court later this year.
- Rubbish.
[tense music continues]
[birds chirping]
[knocking on glass]
What is this crap?
Guess I don't have a choice.
All this to sign some papers?
[tense music] [birds chirping]
[solemn music]
This kid has issues,
serious issues.
[energetic solemn music]
Duncan!
Duncan, where are you?
Duncan!
Dear god!
[dramatic tense music]
[Teddy growls]
[Duncan chuckles]
- All dressed up
and nowhere to go.
- You're crazy, just
like your mother,
just like your father!
- You're gonna regret that.
Teddy, get him, k*ll him.
[Teddy growls]
- What the hell is that thing?
- Oh, it's just my
childhood friend, Teddy,
brought to life by your
chemical agent, Gantropol!
- They should have never let
you out of the nut house.
I'll make sure you're
locked up again.
I'll see to it that you
never see the light of day!
- Look at this, the
original documents.
[sighs] How careless.
- Give me that!
[Duncan laughs]
- Oh, I'm gonna
take what's mine,
the stocks, the business,
the money, the wood lot.
[Teddy laughs] Yup,
and the yacht! [laughs]
- You get nothing but the wood
lot! That was our agreement!
- Oh, you'll get nothin'
in life. Teddy, get him!
[Teddy growling] [tense music]
[g*n firing]
Get him, Teddy, get
him! [laughs] Get him!
[tense music builds]
[Teddy snarling]
[Mr. Mallory screaming]
[flesh squelching]
[birds chirping]
[laughs] Good job, Teddy!
Good boy, good boy!
You did so good,
I'm proud of you!
Tickle, tickle! [laughs]
All right, you're
my buddy forever!
Thanks, friend.
Let's go home, okay?
We gotta build a
fort and play games,
have some cupcakes
like we used to do!
We got so much to catch up on.
Yeah, rebuild the fort,
and we gotta get cupcakes
like we used to, remember?
Hold on, guys! [laughs]
Yay, good job, Teddy! Whee!
[Duncan groaning]
[solemn music]
- Well, it looks as if Mr. Mallory
had everything in order.
The papers are signed and
everything will transfer to you
in three days, unless
there's a no-contest,
which, in this case,
should not be a worry.
- What happened to Mr. Mallory?
- That's the weird
thing, nobody knows,
but bad time to
disappear on the job.
- Yeah, very much so.
He served my father and
the company very well.
- Mr. Mallory was one of
your father's top attorneys,
but please know, others
here worked just as hard
to serve him.
- Yeah, I did sense some
animosity with the arrangement.
- Mr. Mallory was
an opportunist.
He often put his needs
above his clients,
if you know what I mean.
- I believe I do.
Can't trust a lawyer,
then who can you trust?
- Well, what are
you gonna be doing
now that you have
all this free time
and this business is settled?
[tense pensive music]
- I think I may just hang out
with my friends for a while.
[crickets chirping]
Thank you, Teddy.
Good boy. [chuckles]
Yeah, drink, drink.
[lips smacking]
Yeah, drinkie up,
Toppy. [laughs]
You want some too,
Piggy? [mimics chugging]
And gator, wanna go sippy?
Yeah, sippy, sippy. [laughs]
[playful mysterious music]
