Goblin Page #4

You're referring to

Charlie, aren't you?

He's quite a spectacle.

Not exactly.

Why is the town closed on

Halloween? What's that about?

That's just an old tradition

dating back to the days

when the town elders celebrated

Samhain, festival of the dead.

It just stuck

over the years, is all.

There you go. Nice and hot.

So, there's no curse?

Only if you think being stuck

in the wrong century is a curse.

And I'm doing what

I can to lift that one.

So have you

finished high school?

Yeah, last year.

What about you?

No. I can't

wait to graduate.

So do you

live in Brooksbank?

Half the year. Dad works

for the forest service, so...

So is he like

a park ranger?

Kind of. He works in administration.

So you must be an

expert in the outdoors?

Hardly.

You must be an expert

in all sorts of things?

Yeah, absolutely.

Like, what did you

have in mind?

You know, the basics.

Like starting a fire. I already

know you're really good at that.

You are so hot.

Careful, you might

get burned.

Not likely.

What?

Did you see something?

I don't know.

Jane, is that you?

Oh!

Wow, do you smell that?

Yeah, what is it?

Okay, something's out there.

What is it?

That's Kyle.

It's gotta be Kyle.

That's awesome, dude. You...

You're the man. He's

totally screwing with us.

Well, dude,

that totally just...

Run!

Run!

That sounds like Cammy.

It sounds like Matt.

Don't fall for it.

You think it's a joke?

If you knew my brother, then

you'd know it was a joke.

That's what Halloween's all

about. It's like April Fools.

We're getting punked. It's

gonna be happening all day.

Okay, I'll take up the

challenge and I bet I win.

Win what?

Best scare.

Amateurs.

What if something

really is the matter?

Then Jane's gonna

find out pretty quickly.

Aren't you at all concerned?

I'm more worried about you

than I am about Cammy and Matt.

Why?

Because, Nikki,

I know what happened to your mom.

I know what you

had to go through.

I haven't seen you

since it happened.

Hey, hey, come here.

Come here.

Maybe I should

be scared of you.

Everything's gonna

be okay.

You better not be saying all

this just to get some action,

'cause that'd be

pretty lame.

I better go

check on Nathan.

You know, you're

a really good sister.

And I'm not just saying

that to get some action.

So, Sheriff.

What did you think

of the proposal?

I liked it, well thought out,

well presented. Good plan.

And what did

everyone else think?

Gentlemen, like I said before,

this town don't like change.

Hell, Bea and I are

still trying to fit in.

We've been living here

for over a dozen years now.

So, there were issues.

Well, that's a nice way

of putting it.

Wait a second.

Wait a second.

You said that if this town didn't

open itself up to development,

that the town

would die.

That's right.

I said that.

Yeah, you said that.

You also said that it

was all very promising.

Yes, I did.

You urged me to invite up

Neil and his family

to come up here

and meet with you...

Son, developing Hollowglen

is not gonna happen overnight.

Now, if I put that into

your head, I'm sorry.

It'll be a process.

Is the offer too low?

It's not about the money.

Yeah, it's always about

the money.

How much are we talking about?

How much more? How much? It's okay.

Son, if you really think that,

you don't know a lot about people.

Boo!

Hide. Hide.

You're pretty good.

I mean it, get down.

You're setting a high bar.

Where's Matt?

It got him.

It was horrible.

What did?

The Goblin.

Dude, stop it.

You're freaking me out.

Cammy, please!

What I told you up there,

half of it I made up!

It's just a story.

There's no Goblin.

Matt!

Jane! Jane, where are you?

No matter what happens with this deal,

let me tell you, I

think you're fine folks,

and you'll be welcome

at Hollowglen anytime.

So, thanks for coming

and let's keep talking.

Look, I don't care what

that guy said in there.

It's all about the money.

Were you and I at

different meetings?

What? What do you mean?

It means she...

You need to start

listening to people.

No, Neil, come on.

It's a game, man.

Oldest one in the book. He

was testing us and we failed.

All right, we come up with

just a little extra scratch

and we can

lock this baby down.

It's easy for you to say.

It's not your money. Never was.

Yeah.

What do you think, Kate?

I think he's not saying

something, which makes me nervous.

Because he's playing us.

Neil, behind the "Aw, shucks"

act, this guy is an operator.

I'm telling you, we double

the offer and we lock it down.

We nail this thing today.

I'll think about it.

Good.

And I'll take that

as a yes, all right?

So, I'm gonna crack open

that bottle of champagne

I was saving to celebrate our

new real estate empire! Right?

It was good.

I'll catch you guys later.

You were right.

The sheriff's

hiding something.

But you know something?

I just realized

something today.

What?

I can't stand Owen.

Yeah. Took you long enough.

Well, say goodbye

to Hollowglen,

'cause we are

out of here.

Is he okay?

Yeah, still sleeping.

He's a good sleeper.

For now.

Then we're lucky.

You think you're gonna

get lucky or something?

It's just nice

to be with you.

You smell nice.

Stop being so charming.

I just keep thinking this is like

a Halloween prank or something.

Have you heard

from the others yet?

Not yet. I think they're

giving us some time alone.

What time is it?

Just a little past 2:00.

Past 2:
00? No, no, no. You gotta go.

I just don't have the energy

for another fight with my dad.

Just go find Cam, okay?

Are you sure?

Yeah, absolutely.

They should have

been back by now.

And if you weren't so

busy sniffing my hair,

you'd know

I'm right about that.

Oh, my God!

That sounded like Cammy.

Oh, my God. Cammy! Cammy!

Nikki!

Don't panic, okay?

It could still be a joke.

That was no joke, okay.

You're right.

You're right.

We have to do something. I don't

know what to do. I can't leave Nathan.

You go back and stay with

Nathan. I'll be back soon.

Nathan. Nathan!

Nathan!

So, let me

get this straight.

You heard screams.

You ran outside and

followed them into the woods.

Then, Nikki, you ran back

here and found Nathan missing?

And you ran back here

when you heard her scream?

Right.

So you couldn't have been out of the

house for more than a minute or so.

That about right?

Maybe less.

Someone must have been

watching the house or something.

What if it was one of

Kyle's friends? Or Cammy?

What if this was just a

poorly considered Halloween gag

taken way too far?

They feel terrible about it,

but don't know how to end it.

I mean, that's it,

isn't it?

They're just scared. They wanna

bring him back, but don't know how.

Nikki, tell them

we won't be mad.

If they just bring him back, we'll

forget any of this ever happened.

Cammy didn't take Nathan.

How do you know?

Kyle, if you know

anything about this,

you need to tell us right
