01x08 - You Can't Scare Me

[bunniefuu]

I'm not Mr. Bratt.

I'm Harold Biddle.

[NARRATOR] Previously on Goosebumps...

- [KNOCKING ON DOOR]
- Morning, Harebear.

I know this has been
a really rough year.

Just give it a sh*t, okay?

[HAROLD] Adana Meenu Sanara...

[ISABELLA] Guys, it's tearing!

[ISABELLA GASPS]

- Hi.
- That was so awesome.

[ELEVATOR DINGS]

- Harold.
- I want it back now!

- [NORA SCREAMING]
- Hey!

[COLIN] Is there something
I don't know about Nora?

There's like a duffel bag that she has

that has some doll
parts in it in some shed.

- [SCREAMING]
- [DRAMATIC HORROR THEME PLAYING]

[HAROLD] It's not down there.

[ENGINE REVVING]

- [CELL PHONE BEEPS]
- Hi, honey, it's Mom.

There's just something
I need to take care of,

but I'll be back as soon as I can.

You're not James.

- [ELIZA SCREAMS]
- [SCREAMS]

[GRUNTS]

Pain makes me go back in my body.

Mr. Bratt can get the scrapbook
and he can write us a way out.

- By the way, I saw Nora.
- Wait, my mom?

Coming out of, like, a general store.

I think I know that place, it's
like by our cabin in the mountains.

[PUNCH THUDS]

Ow.

Yes, okay.

Harold.

- [BRATT CHUCKLING]
- [SPLASHES]

[DRAMATIC HORROR THEME PLAYING]

[ALL EXCLAIM]

Okay, I think the scrapbook must have

gotten wet or something.

I think we're on a different page now.

This is bad. This is really, really bad.

[OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]

[CHUCKLES] Yes.

Let... Let me go!

[GRUNTING]

Get out of me.

[AS HAROLD] You get out of you.

[STRAINING, AS BRATT]
What does that even mean?

[GRUNTING]

Get off.

Oh, I'm gonna regret this.

[GROANING]

[GRUNTING]

Yes!

[GRUNTING]

[AS HAROLD] You're
b*ating up a minor, d*ck!

[GRUNTING]

Ah! Get off me!

Get off me!

[GRUNTING]

[LAUGHING]

[AS BRATT] Not so tough anymore without

your precious right hand, are you?

Hey, in case I never see you guys again,

- you're my best friends.
- I'm really sorry

for saying vile things
about you guys online.

I've been a very lucky person.

I used one of your dad's
washcloths as toilet paper.

- Hey, Margot?
- [OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]

[ALL GASPING]

[GASPING]

[PANTING] This must be an
early page in the scrapbook.

This is Biddle's basement.

Hey, are you good? You didn't finish

- what you were going to say.
- The moment's passed, dude.

- [OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]
- [GASPS]

- [SCREAMS]
- [ALL EXCLAIM]

- Don't be scared.
- We're Harold's parents.

We're waiting for him so
we can move on together.

[HOUSE CRASHING, RUMBLING]

Guys? Guys, what's happening?

[BRATT GRUNTING]

[CLIMACTIC THEME PLAYING]

[STAMMERS] I can't... I
can't draw with my left hand.

[GRUNTING]

[STRAINING] I... can't!

You can't stop me.

- [HOUSE RUMBLING]
- Guys, look.

Bratt did it, that's
it, that's our way out.

Go! Everyone go!

[PERRY] Tell him...

that we forgive him.

And he'll always be our Harebear.

We'll try.

Come on, let's go.

[HOUSE RUMBLING]

[CLIMACTIC THEME PLAYING]

[ALL GASPING]

Guys, we gotta go find my mom.

What about Mr. Bratt?

- [MARGOT] Isabella! Come on!
- [ISAIAH] Isabella, we gotta go!

[BRATT LAUGHING]

- [BRATT GRUNTING]
- [ELECTRICALLY STATICS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Guys?

Margot?

Isaiah?

[EXHALES SHARPLY]

Ah, great.

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

Great.

All right.

[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS]

[SPLUTTERING]

[AS HAROLD] Damn!

Nerd!

I'm coming, Slappy! I'm gonna get you!

["SWEET DREAMS (ARE MADE OF THIS)" BY
TWINKLE TWINKLE LITTLE ROCK STAR PLAYING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

- [DRAMATIC HORROR THEME PLAYING]
- [GASPING]

Sorry, I'm just swinging
by the cabins up here,

making sure everyone knows
that a storm is moving in fast

and it's gonna be a big one,
could be a six-foot dump.

That came out wrong.

I get it.

I'm just trying to say
it's gonna snow a lot.

Okay. Thank you.

[STAMMERS] I'm not
gonna be here long, so...

Is everything all right?
You seem a little nervous.

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine, yeah.

- Yeah, of course. [LAUGHS]
- Yeah.

Okay, well, I best get going,
I have a few more cabins

to swing by before we
close down the road.

Oh, okay. Well, thanks for stopping by.

Do you mind telling me what's
in that bag right there?

Is that a... Is that a body in there?

Oh. No. No!

Uh, it's, um, it's,
uh... It's my puppet.

So you're up here alone
with a puppet hidden inside

a duffel bag? [CHUCKLING]

[LAUGHS] Yeah.

[CLEARS THROAT] But seriously,
I'm gonna need to take a look.

Okay, okay.

- [OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]
- [HOLSTER CLICKS]

[NORA] There you go.

Wow, that's bigger than
what I was expecting.

Yeah, he's heavy too.

[LAUGHS] Okay, well, sorry
for the inconvenience,

I... I just have to check
these things out, you know...

- Sure.
- ... lest I end up

on a Dateline episode.

[BOTH LAUGH]

Although, you know, my wife
would be excited about that.

She's a big fan, never
misses an episode.

Yeah. Who does, right?

[SIGHS] There's a lot of
evil out there in the world.

Yeah.

[DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING]

- [DOOR CLOSES]
- [ENGINE STARTS]

- [SLAPPY] I thought he'd never leave.
- [GASPS]

[DRAMATIC HORROR MUSIC BUILDING]

[BRATT, AS HAROLD] Hey. Hey, Officer.

Where you headed?

I was following a friend and I lost her.

Blonde hair, station wagon.

Oh! [LAUGHS]

- Yeah, I just saw her.
- Really?

She has that cabin on Timberlane Drive.

- Uh-huh...
- You just head up

the road right here and take
a left at the first fork.

You can't miss it.

- Thanks.
- [RANGER] Yeah.

- But, uh, you can't go.
- Why?

Road's already a mess up
there, you have to have chains.

I don't have time for chains.

Everyone has time for safety.

They sell them down at the
general store back in town.

I don't wanna be pulling a dead body

- out of the snow tonight.
- Okay.

- It's my wife's birthday.
- Cool.

- [TIRES SCREECHING]
- [ENGINE REVVING]

[ENGINE REVVING]

So how many cocoa packets do
you think Bratt's downed by now?

What?

Oh, I don't know, I just
really wanna find my mom, man.

Don't worry, we're gonna
get there in time, okay?

Bratt's slowed him way down.

Yeah, yeah, you know, I
just hope you're right.

Okay, permission to drive like
I promised my mom I never would?

Yeah, man.

[ENGINE REVVING]

[SLAPPY] You've always been special.

How are you even talking right now?

I want to help you put me back together.

I'm not gonna let you
"help" anyone ever again.

You don't scare me.

I'm gonna hide you in the mountains

where no one's ever gonna find you.

You can't stop me... [MUFFLED PROTESTS]

[OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]

I'm coming, my friend.

[MARGOT] What were you going

to tell me in the scrapbook?

[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]

[ISAIAH SIGHS]

[ISAIAH] It doesn't matter.

I thought we were going to die.

[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]

[MARGOT] We still might. Tell me.

[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]

[ISAIAH] I don't need your
boyfriend coming at me.

[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]

[MARGOT] Lucas is not my BF.

[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]

- [ISAIAH] What is he?
- [TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]

[MARGOT] My BF-like person.

[TEXT MESSAGE WHOOSH]

[ISAIAH SIGHS] You're funny.

[MARGOT] Why do you
care what I call him?

Are you guys texting each other?

[BOTH] No.

Okay.

[OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]

[LUCAS] Wait, stop, stop, stop.

Whoa, whoa, why we stopping?

That's Bratt's car.

[ISABELLA] Yeah, this is definitely his.

Uh, guys, over here.

Yo, he's on foot and he's
headed right for the cabin.

Lucas, the storm! Wait!

There's no time to wait.
I have to go find my mom!

Margot, stop. What are you doing?

- It's not safe!
- Who for, him or you?

I'm not letting him go out there alone.

Okay, fine, then I gotta go with you.

What if Bratt comes back with Nora?

Oh, that's a good point.

You know what, you
guys stay here together.

Hey, come on, you'll be safer.

Yeah, if he doesn't come back.

Just stay in the Jeep, okay?

Come on, we gotta go!

[ISAIAH] Okay.

Okay.

It's okay.

If staying in my warm
car with heated seats

is what's being asked
of us in this moment,

I think we can handle it.

We can step up to the plate.

- Right?
- Yeah.

[LUCAS] Good luck!

[OMINOUS THEME PLAYING]

[CLIMACTIC THEME PLAYING]

[GRUNTING]

- [ENGINE STRUGGLING]
- [SLAPPY GRUNTING]

- [NORA SCREAMING]
- You open that door!

You can't have him back, Harold.

You've always seen
what no one else could.

Just give him back to
me, we belong together!

- He's evil, he made you evil.
- No!

- [ENGINE SPUTTERS]
- He made me special!

No, he made you a monster.

He didn't do this to me,
you and your friends did!

- [NORA SCREAMS]

[DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING]

[BRATT] Nora!

Where are you gonna go?

We're in the middle of nowhere!

[PANTING]

What's your plan, Nora?

You ever heard of hypothermia?

When your body doesn't
produce enough heat,

your organs start shutting down.

It doesn't matter to
me, I'm already dead.

Nora! Where you gonna go?

[GRUNTS] Nora!

[NORA BREATHING HEAVILY]

[BRATT] Nora!

Come on!

- [NORA GRUNTS]
- [BRATT] Nora!

Nora!

[DRAMATIC THEME PLAYING]

[WIND HOWLING]

[BRATT] Nora!

[DISTANT] Nora!

So you know Isaiah and
Margot will never be together.

What?

They're an almost couple.

- A what?
- An almost couple.

Like, they can't actually be together,

or the magic of "them" will be gone.

They're just in love with
the idea of each other,

but they could never
really make it work.

It's like emotional edging.

- Is that a sex thing?
- Of course it is.

Oh.

I'm just saying, they
never wanna get there.

So, you're good.

[CHUCKLES] So let me get this straight,

I can like Isaiah...

as long I'm okay with him having
deep-seated unresolved feelings

for his beautiful neighbor?

Exactly.

[GENTLE THEME PLAYING]

I'm hungry. Are you hungry?

Do you think Postmates delivers up here?

[ENGINE IDLING]

[LUCAS GRUNTS] Mom!

- This is bad.
- Yeah, yeah.

[LUCAS] Mom!

She's not in there. I think
she ran toward the trees.

It's okay, Lucas, we're
gonna find her, okay?

And what if he's already got her?

Hey, hold on, we've gotta stay close.

We can't get separated!

[GRUNTS]

- [BRATT GRUNTS] Ah! Slappy!
- [NORA SCREAMS]

- They should be back by now.
- I know.

[ISABELLA] Is that your mom?

- James?
- Mom?

Wait, are you actually James?

- Are you drunk?
- [SIGHS] It is you!

I'd know that snark anywhere.

Isabella, what are you doing here?

Oh, um, it's a long story.

I mean, what... What
are you guys doing here?

It's also a long story.

- Where's Isaiah?
- At Nora's cabin.

He went with Lucas and Margot.

- Oh.
- Which direction?

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Wai... Wait. Nora went
up there with Slappy.

Wait a minute. You know about Slappy?

We know everything.

It's okay, I mean, it's not great,

but I feel like we know
you guys a lot better now.

And there's something
we need to tell you...

- about Mr. Bratt.
- Okay, tell us on the move.

He was just here a second ago.

[ISAIAH SCREAMS IN DISTANCE]

- [LUCAS] Where did that come from?
- [MARGOT] I don't know.

All right, hey.

Hey, this is getting unsafe,

and I don't want you to get hurt.

I need you to go back, and
I'm going to find him, okay?

Where is "back"?

First your mom and
now Isaiah, what if...

What?

Mom.

Mom.

Oh, my God.

- [MARGOT] Oh, God.
- Mom. Mom, Mom.

'Cause that means I'd be dead too.
