Child's Play

I got the strangler!

Wabash and Van Buren!

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t!

Jack, get the van.

Eddie, help me!

Eddie, don't leave me!

God, no!

Give it up, Ray!

It's over!

Oh, God, I'm dying.

You hear this,

you son of a b*tch?

I'm gonna get you for it!

I'm gonna get you...

and I'm gonna get Eddie...

no matter what!

I gotta find somebody.

I don't know. I gotta find somebody.

Give me the power,

I beg of you!

I have no friends.

No one will play with me.

Uh-oh. There's a friend in need.

Hey, cheer up.

- Who are you?

- I'm a Good Guy.

I've just come

from the Good Guy clubhouse...

and I'll be your friend

to the end.

You will?

You mean you'll be my friend now?

Sure, I will.

Hidey-ho.

I saw this one.

All right, Good Guys,

that's our ''Good Guy Show'' for today...

but don't go away...

because we've got a very important

Good Guy message...

just for you.

Hi, Good Guys.

Boy, have I got news for you.

Now you can have your very own

Good Guy doll.

That's right.

You can have all the adventures...

we have on TV

in your very own home.

Good Guys say

three different sentences.

We even turn our heads

and blink our eyes when you talk to us.

Right, Oscar?

Hi, I'm Oscar,

and I'm your friend to the end.

Hidey-ho!

Wow!

Every Good Guy has a name

all his own...

so he can be

your very own best friend.

So remember to tell Mom and Dad

you want a Good Guy.

Perfect for birthdays

or just any old time.

And remember, you can buy...

all our Good Guy accessories too.

- Right, Oscar?

- Right.

Brought to you exclusively

by Play Pals...

makers of Good Guys

and other fine toys.

Found in toy stores

throughout the greater Chicago area.

Mommy, wake up!

- What time is it, Andy?

- Wake up.

It's only 6:
30 in the morning.

But it's a beautiful day outside.

See?

It certainly is.

How long you been up, birthday boy?

Since forever.

I made you breakfast in bed.

You did? Oh, God.

Well, thanks.

Well, this looks just excellent.

I'll tell you what.

Why don't I eat this

just a little later, okay?

But first I gotta give you

your super-duper birthday tummy-gummy.

Come here. Come here.

That's one. How many years

old are you today? Two.

Happy birthday, pumpkin.

Thanks. Can we open

my presents now, Mommy?

- Yes, we can.

- Terrific!

Good morning, Chicago.

Leading off at this hour...

Charles Lee Ray,

the notorious Lake Shore Strangler...

was shot and killed shortly before 3:00

a.m. this morning on Wabash Avenue.

Can I open this first, Mommy?

Andy, don't you want to start

with the smaller one first?

Okay, go ahead.

Well, what do you think?

You need these clothes so badly.

I think they're gonna be okay.

We'll just take them up a couple inches.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing.

I know.

You want some toys, don't you?

Not boring old clothes.

Try the other one.

What do you think?

I want a Good Guy to go with it.

I know you do, Andy,

but I didn't know about it...

in time this month

to save up for it.

- Karen.

- Hi.

You know that doll you wanted

for Andy? It cost 100 bucks.

There was a peddler in the alley behind

the store and I think he's got one.

- Why would a peddler have a doll?

- Grab your purse. We can get a deal.

- I can't leave.

- Do you want it or not?

- Of course.

- Then come on.

There he is.

Okay, show her.

Well, is it a Good Guy or not?

It is.

- Well, I told you.

- How much do you want?

- Fifty bucks.

- Ten and not a penny more.

- Thirty.

- That thing is not worth thirty.

Take it or leave it.

Somebody else will buy it.

- Take it.

- It's too much money.

No, it isn't. You have no idea

how much Andy wants this doll.

- But we don't know if it works.

- Here you go, lady.

- May it bring you and your kid joy.

- Thank you.

Hold on, you!

How do we know the damn thing

isn't stolen?

- Steal this!

- Steal this yourself.

- Maggie.

- I think I dated him.

Come on. We gotta get back to work.

Andy's going to love it!

Nice of you to drop by.

Have a nice break?

- Sorry. I was only gone for a minute.

- Have a heart, Criswell.

We were downstairs buying her little boy

a birthday present.

We have specified break times

for activities like that.

Mrs. Howe is sick and we're shorthanded

tonight. You have to fill in.

I can't. I have to pick up my son

at the day care.

- This is an emergency.

- I'll take over for her.

Miss Peterson, you work in shoes,

not in jewelry.

You'll have to do it. You can take off

at 5:
00 but be back at 7:00.

It's my son's birthday.

Are you happy with your job?

Yes, I am.

Then I suggest--

Chill out, would you, Walter?

- I'll take care of Andy.

- You can't do it again.

Don't be silly. It'll be

the hottest date I've had in months.

I can't imagine why.

- Where are you going?

- ''Good Guys'' are on TV.

I may have something

better for you.

What?

This isn't groceries.

A Good Guy! I knew it!

I knew you'd get me one!

Show me how he works.

Hi, I'm Andy.

What's your name?

Hi, I'm Chucky,

and I'm your friend to the end.

Hidey-ho.

Wow! He's something, isn't he?

Oh, Mom, thanks.

You're welcome, honey.

- See, that's how you build things.

- WDOL with a late-breaking report.

Eddie Caputo,

accomplice of Charles Lee Ray...

has just escaped

the Michigan Avenue Precinct.

More details to follow

on the news at 9:00 next.

Hey, Chucky,

you're not watching me.

Hey, want to play?

Time for bed, Andy.

Come on, Chucky. We have to

get ready to go to bed.

Aunt Maggie,

Chucky wants to watch...

the 9:
00 news.

Sure he does.

Okay, kid, off we go.

Come on. There we go.

- Chucky.

- Oh, yes, Chucky.

You too. Off we go.

Now it's brush your teeth

and under the covers with you.

Okay? Agreed?

Good.

You yell when you're ready

for me to tuck you in.

Hey, Chucky,

want to see my room?

Andy, are you

brushing your teeth?

Yes, Aunt Maggie!

Good.

And now, Action News at 9:00.

In Washington today,

the mayor replied...

that he would study

the congressional findings carefully...

and have the commission on gang-related

violence issue recommendations to him.

Back to you, Steve.

Thank you, Terry.

Police have now clarified

the information...

regarding the escape

of Eddie Caputo.

Caputo eluded his captors...

while being transferred onto

a prison bus on his way to court.

Okay, mister, what do you

have to say about this?

- About what?

- Come on.

You know, you have to learn

that when I say something, I mean it.

- But what did I do?

- You know what I'm talking about.

Turning the TV on

and putting Chucky in front of it...

when I told you

it was time to go to bed.

- I didn't do that.

- No? What did Chucky do?

Walk into the living room

and turn it on by himself?

Did you do that, Chucky?

Andy, stop it!

Under the covers! Hurry.

- But Aunt--

- Under the covers and not another word.

But I didn't put Chucky

in front of the TV.

Shh. Enough. Okay?

Give me a kiss.

Good night, baby,

and happy birthday.

Good night, Aunt Maggie.

I told you she'd be mad at you
