Goblin

Weevil in corn,

cast this blight into the fire.

Rotten apples, put an end

to these once and for all.

A locust.

Make it burn.

Have mercy!

Have mercy!

Have mercy!

Your child is unclean.

No.

It is misshapen, diseased.

An abomination.

He has done nothing wrong.

You know the ritual.

All that is unclean,

we give up to the flame.

Samhain is for

the common good.

It is to ensure our

health and well-being.

No, please. Please!

Let us all be cleansed!

No!

Oh, baby.

Why?

No child of this village,

shall be safe here on after,

when the sun rises on Samhain.

She's a witch.

Witch!

And now you will pay.

No one will get you now.

Nikki. Nikki.

Can you take

that off, please?

Thank you.

He dropped his chew-chew.

Can you pass it

to him, please?

What?

His pacifier, he can't

reach it, neither can I.

Hello? Earth to Nikki.

Kate's been trying to get your

attention for five minutes.

Five minutes?

Dad, I doubt

it was five minutes.

Oh, now you're arguing.

Arguing is not helpful.

I'm not arguing.

Now, look at you.

You're arguing about arguing.

Nikki, we're supposed

to be having a great time.

Well, sorry to

disappoint you.

What? What did I miss?

Nothing.

Just another

gripping parental lecture.

Now, take a look at that.

That's got opportunity

written all over it.

Dad, come on. You can't even

find this place on the GPS.

That's why they call

it opportunity, Nikki.

Vision means seeing

something before it's there.

It means dreaming

of a better future.

I thought you told me to

live in the here and the now.

Isn't that what

you're always saying?

Well, I can't win with you.

Actually, Nikki,

I'd like you to do both.

Hey, isn't there a ski resort

around here or something?

That's Brooksbank.

It's on the other side

of the mountain.

The side that made it

into this millennium.

You just watch, after I'm finished,

the boutiques and bistros of Hollowglen,

are gonna make Brooksbank

seem totally passe,

and then the luxury condos will

come up and we are gonna be rich.

Yeah, well, you might wanna run

that past Nathan when he gets older,

and see how

he feels about spending,

the rest of eternity

in Hollowglen.

We're going

to use the bathroom.

Okay.

Hi. Hi, sweetie,

are you happy?

Are you happy?

How's he doing?

He's ready for a nap.

How you doing?

I'm ready for a nap.

You don't have to come

to the meeting, I mean.

Well, that's not

till tomorrow, right?

I'll be fine. Besides,

I like to see you in action.

Did I tell you

that I love you today?

No.

Then I'm a bad husband.

The worst.

Sit anywhere, as you like. I

will be with you in a second.

Hi, I don't think we

are staying actually.

My dad just needed some directions.

What can I do you for?

"What can I do you for?"

Well, hi.

We rented a cabin at

the end of Willow Road.

And we can't

seem to find it.

Willow Road, you say?

"Willow Road, you say?"

Yeah, that's right.

Girls, I thought you said

you had to go to the bathroom.

Surely do, Dad.

Go on.

Straight back here.

I'm sorry about that.

Neil Perkins.

Sheriff Dan Milgreen.

How do you do?

I'm fine. Thank you.

You wanna head to the general

store and hit your right.

Go up the mountain road

about 3 miles,

take the first left

you see.

That's Willow Road.

Thank you.

You renting

the Holmes' house?

Yeah. How did you know?

Well, there ain't but

one cabin on Willow Road,

right at the end.

Well, look at that.

Isn't he beautiful?

What's his name?

Nathan.

Nathan. May I?

Yeah.

Let me guess.

It's six months?

Yeah, exactly.

Fine-looking boy.

Thank you.

Those your girls, too?

Only one of them. The

other is her best friend.

That's quite an age difference

between your daughter and your son.

Second family,

second chances, you know.

Second chances.

I'd say, they're

pretty darn important.

Such a good boy.

Good for you.

No!

Oh, no, no. No, no, you're

not supposed to be here.

What're you doing here?

You're not

supposed to be here.

I'm sorry.

Didn't you warn them?

I'm sorry, folks,

pay no attention.

Come on, Charlie,

time to hit the trail.

There's a curse

on this town.

Now, Charlie,

stop embarrassing yourself.

There's evil here.

I'm not gonna tell you

again. Now that's it.

Don't they know

tomorrow is Halloween?

Enough with this nonsense.

Don't pay him no mind, he

probably just needs a drink.

Well, please, thank the

sheriff for all of his help.

That'll be easy,

seeing how he's my husband.

Oh!

Okay, well, thank you.

Be seeing you.

I don't know what's worse,

the quaint or the creepy.

This is just

a small town, Nikki.

Show a little

compassion, sweetheart.

The guy is

obviously homeless.

Or he's an alcoholic or a

drug addict or he's bipolar.

There's a reason

people act that way.

How about

demonic possession?

"There's evil here. "

"Don't they know

it's Halloween?"

Sorry, Mr. Perkins.

Go on. Get out of here!

"Go on.

Get out of here. "

This can only get better.

Not too bad.

Thrill.

It's pretty cold in here.

There's no service.

Thermostat

looks broken.

This light's out.

So, we build a fire

and change the lights.

Vision, okay?

Cheers, Dad. What do

we do about reception?

We appreciate the peace.

I'm so glad

I convinced you to come.

Whatever.

It's better than

sitting at home

watching my dad play video

games with my stupid brother.

When real life

sucks this bad,

bring on the virtual.

Hey, how bad has it been?

Really, scale of one to 10.

You really wanna know?

Since Mom died,

it's been about a solid nine.

You know what's always

there though, always?

I'm never good

enough for my dad.

Well, then you wouldn't

wanna live with us.

Why?

Because it wouldn't be

any different.

Hey, who is that?

Oh, no.

What?

The golf pro.

Your dad has a golf pro?

No, that's what my

mom used to call him.

That's Owen.

She hated him.

What's he doing here?

So?

So, are you ready

to do this?

You need to confirm.

Lunch at Bea's,

Nice work.

Yeah. It's amazing the way

this whole thing just

suddenly turned around, huh?

Tell me about it. I mean, for

years they rejected every proposal.

Yeah, it's the recession.

I'm telling you.

It softened them up a bit.

Everybody's hurting right now.

Well, it could be.

Might be something else.

Like what?

Who knows?

So many variables.

Tomorrow, we gotta ask

the tough questions.

Which we will.

All right,

and if the offer is right?

Then we close this deal

and become giants among men!

You still taking that

testosterone supplement, right?

Day and night, yeah.

You wanna come in?

No, no, I'm good.

I'm good. I got stuff to do.

Give my best to Kate.

Okay.

All right?

All right.

Will catch you tomorrow.

Right.

It's good, man.

Be positive.

Yeah.

So Owen's

part of this now?

Well, yes,

as a matter of fact.

But I thought

you promised Mom

that you're never

gonna work with him again.

That was a long time ago.

Things change.

Yep, they sure have.

Mom's gone,

you're remarried
