and I seem to be the only one

who cares about anything she said.

Hey, hey, hey. Nikki.

Honey, slow down.

What's wrong?

Did seeing Owen make you

think about your mother?

I don't need him to

help me think about her.

I think about her

every single day.

I'm gonna go

check on her.

What just happened?

She's 17.

She misses her mom.

Wanna go for a walk?

Yeah, it'll help.

I don't understand why he'd

go back and work with Owen

when my mom specifically

asked him not to.

I don't know why

you care so much.

You know, Nik,

I remember you telling me

that your mom specifically

asked you to do something, too.

What?

You told me that she asked

you to take care of your dad.

Whoa! Whose side

are you on?

I'm on yours.

Come on, you know that.

I'm just also on

the side of your family.

Take it from me.

You got a pretty good one.

Ugh! Stop being

so mature.

Okay, last you'll see of it, I promise.

Let's go have some fun.

Do you think

we should turn back?

I really don't want to bump

into that old drunk guy.

Not without a cross and

some holy water, anyway.

Let's go. Come on.

All that is unclean,

we give up to the flame.

Samhain is for

the common good.

Your child is unclean.

She's a witch.

He has done nothing wrong.

No child

shall be safe

when the sun rises

on Samhain.

Are you all right?

What happened?

Tell me

we didn't hit a skunk.

There's no dent.

There's no blood.

Sounds like

a caffeine hallucination,

which means it's

time for me to drive.

Yeah, no argument there.

Hang on a sec.

Derek?

Derek?

Derek!

Happy Halloween.

You're messy.

You're messy.

You're a messy boy.

Where's Dad?

He's with Owen.

So, what are your plans?

I don't know,

there's just so many options.

It's kind of overwhelming.

Well, if you're

really stuck for ideas,

you can go into town and get

some more diapers and wipes.

Can we take the car?

No, but you could

take the bikes.

Just be back by noon?

Brooksbank is, like,

I meant Hollowglen.

Come on, that place is a freak show.

Your father is right, you really

do have an overactive imagination.

What did you say?

It's not what I said, Nikki.

Come on, Nik,

we can make it fun.

See, at least Cammy doesn't

think it's such a terrible idea.

Well, she's obviously not afflicted

with an overactive imagination.

I am so.

I need the car for Nathan.

It's as simple as that,

in case there's an emergency.

It's always about Nathan,

isn't it?

Nathan, Dad, you,

but never me.

Come on, Cam, time to take

the Hollowglen thrill ride.

You know that's

not what I meant.

Can't wait.

I just meant...

I don't know

what I meant.

Told you you'd

regret this trip.

I'm gonna prove you

so wrong.

Hi, boys.

So, what do you think?

No marks, no blood,

no bodies.

Probably a prank.

Couple of Brooksbank kids

out for a joyride.

Yeah, most likely.

There's one thing

though, Sheriff.

Empty baby seat

in the back there.

Yeah, so?

Well, you know

what day it is.

Don't go soft on me, Perry.

No. I'm just saying.

This is your

first Halloween here?

Yes, sir, it is,

and I just heard

some stories about...

About missing kids

and a monster in the night?

Yeah.

It was along

those lines, yeah.

Yeah, well, they are

stories, plain and simple.

Look, the last thing I need

is a copycat criminal

or a superstitious deputy.

I'll check with the DMV,

see who owns the vehicle.

You keep an eye out for yahoos or

anyone else looks up to no good.

Yes, sir.

Yes.

"Closed for Halloween. "

What is it

with this place?

I think

someone's in there.

Hello? Anybody home?

We're closed!

I know. I'm sorry.

We just need to

pick up a few things.

We'll be open tomorrow.

Ma'am, please. We rode

a long way on our bikes.

Is there any way

that you can help us out?

We're customers.

Are you thirsty?

You need a drink?

Well, yeah.

I could use a drink,

but we came for some baby

stuff, just some diapers.

You have

a baby with you?

At the cabin, yeah.

No! No, no, no, no.

No! No, no.

It's okay.

He's not sick or anything.

Leave Hollowglen.

Before it's too late.

Seriously?

Do you think we should

start taking the hint?

No doubt.

Nikki Perkins?

Kyle?

Nikki, what's up?

It's been a while, huh?

Kyle? The Kyle?

Shh!

Have you been

talking about me?

What are you doing here?

Just looking for trouble.

Hey, I'm Matt.

Hi, I'm trouble.

Pay no attention to her.

She's on meds.

I'm not.

But I probably should be.

What are you guys

doing here?

We just came to get some

stuff for my baby brother,

but the place

is closed, so...

Yeah, yeah, this place

shuts down on Halloween.

It's really weird.

It's awesome.

Awesome.

So, where you

going to college?

I'm actually

taking a year off.

I'm just house-sitting my

uncle's place in Brooksbank.

House-sitting?

Yeah, Matt's up

for the weekend

and we just got

the place to ourselves.

Cool.

Hey, if you want,

we can go to Brooksbank

and get those

things you needed.

Sounds good, but I have to

be back right away, so...

Where you staying?

We're staying

in Hollowglen,

just a cabin off

Willow Road, I think.

Willow Road? No way.

Yeah. Why,

what's the deal?

I don't know, there's

just some freaky legend

that got started

up that way, so...

My sister knows

the whole crazy story.

It's about a bonfire ring

at the top of Willow Road.

Creepy.

No doubt.

This place

is so loony.

Well, we are meeting up with her later

and she's probably

gonna hear all about it.

If you guys wanna join?

Mmm-hmm.

Place is empty,

may as well come on in.

Not too many folks for

you to upset, except me.

I'll be on my best

behavior, Bea. I promise.

A lot of good

that'll do me.

I can see myself

getting upset already.

I always like

your coffee, Bea.

You like it so much you douse it with

whiskey every time I turn my back.

Well, you can hardly

keep a secret in this town.

Is it okay?

You do what you gotta do.

We all cope the best we can.

How do you cope, Bea?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean, Bea.

Knowing about the curse.

Maybe you just

best take that flask

and that brew

right on out of here.

I swear I don't know

why I bother.

You come in here

every Halloween

haunting us like a ghost.

Now, Bea, you know,

you more than anybody else,

you should know that we

gotta find a way to end it.

How? You know

there ain't no way.

Yes, there is, Bea.

There is a way.

See, a while back,

I found something

that I had been

searching a long time for.

And I know

what to do now to end it.

Lord Almighty,

you really are crazy.

You get on out of

here now, you hear?

I ain't crazy, Bea.

You gotta believe me, please.

Not another word!

I'm done listening to you!

I'm done talking to you!

Ain't we got

a responsibility, Bea?

That we do.

And I'll be attending to

my own.

Nikki.

What are you doing?

It's 12:
20, Kate asked

you to be here at noon.

Well, it took longer than

we thought, Dad. I'm sorry.

We tried to reach you

on your cell.
