now. Don't hold back, son!

Calm down!

I'll handle this.

If there's anything he's hiding,

we'll find out at the station.

They may have the baby at

the girl's parents' house

or somewhere

in Brooksbank.

If those don't pan out,

I'll contact the county.

Organize a search.

But I didn't do anything.

Don't dig yourself

a hole, young man.

What if

it was the Goblin?

I'm sorry?

The baby stealer.

What are you

talking about?

This really is a prank,

isn't it?

No, I mean, it all

fits with the story.

I know this is

a small town and all,

but I will not be party

to discussing fairy tales

in the context of a missing

persons investigation.

Copycat.

Deputy, take the boy to the

station. I'll meet you there.

Let's go. Now.

You can't take me.

I had nothing to do with this.

I don't understand why you guys

aren't searching in the woods.

Cammy sounded hurt

and she may be dying.

You guys didn't

hear the screams, okay.

They were real.

Simplest explanation

is usually the truth.

I'll get back to you if it's

more complicated. Be in touch.

Thank you, Sheriff.

The Goblin?

Dad, Jane told us

this story about

a Halloween creature

that steals babies.

I know it sounds crazy,

but this sounds...

Nikki, don't torture us,

please.

I'm not, okay? I'm just as

upset about this as you guys are.

How could you be?

You're not his mother.

Dad. I'm sorry.

I don't know what to do.

I know you are, honey. But I

need your help to make this right.

How?

Who do you think

left us this?

I don't know. Someone's

trying to tell us something.

No. No.

The babies all

went missing on Halloween.

The curse is true.

No, this just

mentions missing babies.

Doesn't mean

there's a goblin or a curse.

Oh, my God.

The sheriff had a son

that went missing

on Halloween, too.

Why didn't he say anything?

Where are you going?

I'm gonna go in the

woods and check for Cammy.

You two,

look out for each other.

Nikki, I'm so sorry.

I should have

listened to you.

Be safe.

Be sure to lock in.

Dad!

Cammy! Matt! Cammy!

I haven't done

anything wrong.

I'm cooperating, okay.

I just wanna get my...

What the...

Get back in the car. Now!

Get back in the car. Now!

Get back in the car!

Sheriff, I'm on foot pursuit

of an unknown person,

possibly hostile,

out on Route 140, over.

Sheriff... Don't be

stupid. I know who you are!

Perry, talk to me.

What's your 20? Over.

Sheriff, I'm not sure, but

I may have found our copycat.

Cammy?

Cammy!

Cammy! Hello?

Cammy!

Kate, do you smell that?

Cammy? Oh, my God.

Nikki, I see somebody

just outside.

Stay upstairs, okay?

No, I wanna be with you.

No, stay upstairs.

Kate!

Kate.

Kyle!

Get in!

What is that?

Get us out of here!

I'm trying.

Where'd he go?

Where'd he go, Kyle?

Come on. Come on. Come on.

No, Owen. No!

Nikki, what's going on?

Move your car.

Give me your keys.

No, I'm not giving you

my keys.

What do you want my keys

for? What's going on?

Run.

Run, Owen. Run!

Run!

Yeah. Okay, I get it.

This is Halloween, right?

Like I'm gonna

fall for that one.

Kyle, we have to do something. Yeah.

Run, Owen. Run!

Go. Move!

Run!

Go!

Run!

No!

Hey, over here.

Get in the car. Quick!

Come on.

Kate? Kate.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me, sweetheart?

Nikki! Nikki!

What's your emergency?

Yeah, my wife,

she's been attacked.

Is she breathing?

Barely. We need an ambulance.

We need to get to a hospital.

I'll connect you

to the sheriff.

No, I don't need the sheriff!

I need a paramedic, damn it!

Come on. I got something

I wanna show you.

It's okay. Don't worry,

we're safe here.

Come, sit down. Have a seat.

Sit down, son.

You'll pardon if I drink.

So what was that thing?

You heard the stories?

About the Goblin?

What do you think?

I think whatever that thing

is, it has my little brother.

If it had your brother, it

wouldn't still be chasing you.

It smells your brother on you,

and it's still on the hunt.

So who has him, then?

I don't know.

But I got a good idea

where to start. Bea's place.

I'll help you find him,

if you'll help me

do something.

Anything.

Help me kill the Goblin?

Okay. How do we kill it?

Magic.

So, what, you have like a wand

or a broomstick or something?

Is it a diary?

Yeah. It's a witch's diary.

Where did you get this?

She was my

great-great-great-grandmother.

The witch

of Hollowglen?

Yeah. She's family.

Don't worry, I ain't gonna

turn you into toads or anything.

I ain't got

no power, myself.

It was a horrible thing that

they had done to her and her baby.

And she struck back

out of anger and vengeance.

But years later, she realized

what a horrible thing she'd done

and she'd come back to

Hollowglen to put an end to it.

But she died before

she could finish it.

But she left that

and this.

She carved this herself.

It's a charred branch

from the original fire

and this here,

is some of her hair.

All of her power is in this.

And we have to plunge it

into the heart of the Goblin.

How do you know

that'll work?

Well, I don't know for sure,

but bullets

don't kill it.

It slows it down

a little bit, maybe.

But it's a spirit.

This is our only hope.

You ever tried this before?

A while back,

but I had lost my nerve

and been trying to

get it back ever since.

That's why I drink.

But I can't do it alone.

Nobody can.

And that's why

I need your help.

Okay.

Okay.

Let's go.

It's here.

That's its stench.

What do we do?

It smells

the baby on you.

We could do it now.

We could kill it now.

You stand right here.

Charlie!

No, she's not bait, okay?

Run. Go on,

get out of here!

Go, go, go.

Charlie,

what about the spear?

Get out of here.

Quick!

I can keep driving

to Brooksbank, okay.

There's no way that

thing can follow us.

Brooksbank?

We got a full tank of gas.

We can go anywhere.

We just left him there.

I don't know where my dad is.

Kate's dead. I don't know what to do.

I know. Okay? Name a place

and I'll take you there.

I have to find Nathan.

I have to find my dad.

We don't know

where they are, okay.

If we don't leave,

that thing is gonna get us.

I have to find

my brother, okay.

Okay.

I'm gonna get

you through this.

You promise?

I promise.

Okay.

Okay. Charlie said

something about Bea's place.

I don't know what that meant, but he

seems to know what he's talking about.

Maybe we should just

go there.

Okay.

Hold on, sweetie.

Hold on.

Sheriff.

Bea used to be a nurse.

She'll know what to do.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay. We

gotta go. Charlie was wrong, okay.

There's no one here.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You know, it's like everyone

knows there's something.

What do you mean?

This place closes down for

Halloween. It's just so...

Oh, my God. Oh, my God. That's it.

The two creepy women

at the convenience store

only warned me after

they found out about Nathan.

Everyone knows. They're just

trying to protect people.

Think about Charlie. Look

at Bea and the sheriff.
