Clown Page #2

Oh, that-that makes perfect sense.

I thought... I thought I was going crazy.

But we should meet as soon as possible,

can you come to my warehouse?

Uh, yeah. Yeah, yeah,

I-I can get there.

We'll have that thing off in no-time.

Hello?

Hello?

Is anyone here?

- Kent.

- Jesus Christ!

I didn't wanna scare you.

Uh, I'm Bert Karlsson.

- Nice to meet you.

- Tea?

Uh...

Hm... Thank you.

I have been abroad, off and on...

these last couple of years.

I haven't talked to Martin for ages.

Our relationship was...

yeah, complicated.

I'm sorry. I've never met him.

That is a very old, traditional costume

from the Nordic regions.

It was until years later,

it became a... silly character.

The original... clown,

he was not funny at all.

So... tell me, Mr. Karlsson.

How are we going to get

this thing off of me?

Very few people know the true origin

of what we call "the clown."

I can show you here.

There.

It lived up in the mountains,

with a skin white as snow and

the red nose blistered by the cold.

It lured children out of the

villages into it's cave.

Five children...

one child for every month...

of winter.

Over the centuries, the legend of

the Clyne was forgotten.

He became "the Clown."

His white face and red nose

to make people laugh,

to entertain children,

if only they knew.

Why are you showing me this?

So you can understand.

Oh, sh*t.

No-no, the tea was supposed

to keep you asleep for hours.

I'd go get some more but I

can't risk you getting loose.

What? What?

It's gonna be all right.

Decapitation is the only way

to stop the demon.

Who are you?

Wait, wait, wait!

No.

I'm sorry.

- I'm so sorry.

What the f***?

I'm sorry. I just need...

What the f*** are you doing?

It's not a costume,

it's skin and hair of a demon.

- Honey, call 911.

- Sweety. What?!

Wait, where have you been?

This-this manic tried to kill me.

The guys who's house it was

that had the suit in it.

Look, he thinks I'm a demon.

Honey, we have to go to the cops.

But you have to come

with me 'cause they're

gonna think I'm crazy if

I'm dressed like a...

clown.

What's the f***?

Are you wearing makeup?

Let go of her, Kent.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Walt, I know this seems a little crazy,

a little nuts. But this guy's a maniac.

If this is a joke,

it's not very funny.

It's not a joke.

So what the problem?

Just take off the clown suit, man.

I can't! You think

I'm making this up?

He chopped my neck

with a butcher knife.

Wait, is this blood?

Yes, it's my blood. He chopped

me with a butcher knife.

Who did?

Who the hell is that?

He tried to cut off my head.

He thinks I-I'm turning

into a demon.

Baby, he's crazy. Th-This is his suit.

He did this, all of it.

Just take the f***ing thing off.

Oh, Jesus, Dave.

You broke his f***ing arm!

Meet me at the police station.

Please.

You're going to jail, man.

You are going to jail!

I'm trying to help you.

It's... happening!

What are you doing to me?

Kill... yourself.

Before... ugh...

Hey man, you're okay?

You're okay, man?

Kill yourself...

Kill yourself...

Ms. McCoy?

I'm sorry, what?

Alright, one last question uhm...

Do you remember what he was wearing

the last time you saw him?

Like a...

a long coat and a...

dark hat.

Okay.

If you hear something, call.

Thank you.

Maybe it's a chemical thing.

You know, he seems like...

Mr. Perfect Dad.

But then, suddenly...

Look, I want you and Jack to come

stay with me for a while.

You gotta think of your family, Meg.

You can't baby him.

You gotta tell Jack

his dad's dangerous.

No.

Alright, I don't have to

listen to this anymore.

- I'm just trying to make it clear that...

- Dad?!

He was scared.

Mom, is this my fault?

No, it's not your fault.

It's no one's fault.

Let's get some sleep.

Good night, doll.

Lights out, fellas, let's go.

Hey, you left your dirty

plate by the fire. Go clean up.

Ah, alright. Yeah.

Don't get lost lard-ass.

Zip-it, Dickenson!

Do you have any food?

All I want is some food.

I've got these...

...who should pick him up,

are me or my emergencies.

So you got my cellphone. And

my dad's first name's Walt, so...

try him too.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Oh hey sweety, come here.

I'm gonna go, okay?

But who's gonna pick you up today?

- You or Denise.

- Mm-hmm.

And if you see Daddy?

Is Daddy bad?

No.

No, no, no, no.

No.

He just, he... has to do some

grown up stuff today.

Okay, but if he comes to pick you up?

Say that the teacher wants to talk to him

and that he should call Mommy.

- And... and that's it.

- Mm-Hmm.

Daddy gonna be home soon, okay?

Bye, doll.

Bye, doll.

Hey honey, it's me.

It's your dad. I'm uh... just wanna

make sure if everything is okay.

If you hear anything,

please give me a call.

Give me a call, okay?

Alright people. Ten

minutes, we're leaving.

Gotta go pee.

Ah, it stinks in here.

Oh, gross. What is that?

Hello!

Is there anybody in there?

The door is locked.

Hello?

Just... stay away from me!

Are you a clown?

My name is Robbie,

What's your name?

Wow! You're really hungry.

If you wanna eat...

I got some cookie crisps and...

waffles...

and... cinnamon toast crunch,

and... chocolate chip

and... chips, and some gumby's

and some beef jerky...

and some cookies, and grilled cheese

and fries with ketchup... and...

Stay away.

Hi, want some cereal?

Mr. Clown?

Mr. Clown?

Mr. Clown?!

He's acting crazy.

I don't know, maybe

it's something he ate?

It's because he ate

Daddy's clown nose?

Oh, Jack stay right here.

Stay here.

Is that Daddy?

Hello, Kent?!

What's going on?

Jack really misses you.

I'm so sorry.

Tell me where you are, t-tell me you're okay.

I can't take this.

I'm sorry.

This-this is the only way.

Hello?

Mom?

When is Daddy coming home?

Tonight, Jack. Don't worry.

Daddy is gonna be okay.

Ah, thank you.

It's gonna take you all night.

Are you sure?

Yeah, we'll find him.

Yeah, our last big fight,

I was bawling my eyes out.

Kent was hanging out at

one of his properties.

Heh, what an a**hole.

Yeah.

You're building a fun house?

Kent?

Kent?

Kent, you're here?

Mr. Clown!

No!

Oh, no!

Kent.

No!

Don't open the door.

Kent, it's okay.

No!

You don't.

You don't understand.

I just wanna get you home, Kent.

Look...

I know something crazy

is happening to you, okay?

I believe you.

Okay?! I believe you.

We're gonna figure

this out together.

Jack needs you.

I need you.

Kent....

I'm pregnant.

Take me home, please.

I can feel myself changing.

What do you want me to do?

No matter what I say,
