We've the most marvelous facility

there for emergency treatment.

What happened?

- Misfire.

No, don't.

We can't afford to stick out.

Let's just go.

Misfiire?

What the hell were they talking about?

- Something crazy going on here. - You wanna leave?

Yes, very much.

But not until I find out,

whether my father went to that factory.

Hello?

Can you talk?

Sure. I just fiinished sifting the ashes.

What do you have?

It's what I don't have, that bothers me.

You know, I'm starting to wonder if some...

someone hasn't been tampering with this stuff.

Why?

Well ... that was a hot fire. But there would have to be

some bone fragments or teeth or something.

I've got nothing here to indicate,

there was ever body at all.

Just ashes and car parts.

How about you?

Listen Teddy. Do me another favor.

Will you find out everything you can about Conal Cochran?

He runs Silver Shamrock,

the Halloween mask people.

Conal Cochran.

All right, but this is gonna cost you

some serious dinners when you get back.

I'm always ready for dinner with you.

Liar. Bye.

Bye.

Oh, there must be some mistake, dearie.

Mr. Grimbridge himself picked up that order on the 21 st.

Here's his signature.

Thank you.

Do you remember that transaction?

No ... but you can talk

to someone who might.

Oh, Red ...

these people lost an order.

Did you load this one?

Sure did. Last week. A man

in an old green station wagon.

That's right. Did he say

where he was going?

No, ma'am. Headed out to

the north. I remember that.

Thank you.

Would you care to make another order, madam?

- No. Let's go.

Well, hey.

How ya doin'?

Buddy Kupfer and family ...

here to see Mr. Cochran.

- Yes, Mr. Kupfer. Welcome.

I'll tell Mr. Cochran, you're here.

When do we get to see 'em

makin' the masks?

Real soon, little buddy. - Buddy, my feet are killing me.

- Honey, come on. The fun's just startin'.

I've seen enough. Let's get out of here.

- All right, all right.

Oh wait!

Wait.

Well,

so this is Buddy Kupfer

and his lovely family.

My friends ...

Mr. Kupfer has sold more Silver Shamrock masks

this year, by far, than anyone else in the country.

And as for my other friends,

Mr. And Mrs...

Smith.

- Smith, of course.

My apologies for that little bit of a disturbance last night,

but I want you both to know,

that Mrs. Guttman is going to be fine.

She's been flown to a hospital in San Francisco.

Thank you.

For and a ...

About the confusion over your order.

I'll just tell you one thing...

A replacement order is being prepared

for you absolutely free ...

The whole thing's on me.

Is he incredible or what?

Now. How would you like a guided tour?

Oh, thank you, sir.

Would it be all right if my friends come along?

Oh ... yes, I was just about to ask them.

If you'd like to?

We'd love to.

Come along.

Come along.

The latex is heated and poured.

After that, it's cooled and poured off.

Then it's all just a matter of trimming,

painting and packaging.

Oh, wow, this is it.

Hall of fame time.

What's famous?

You really don't know?

Conal Cochran, the all-time

genius of the practical joke.

He invented sticky toilet paper.

Oh, you must know. The dead

dwarf gag, the soft chain saw. All his.

No, gee, I didn't know that.

- And before that, he used to make toys.

Remember that? I had one of those when

I was a kid. Used to sit and watch it for hours.

The man has always paid attention to detail.

Are we all together?

- Yeah.

Oh, I want a mask.

Can I have a mask?

Just what I had in mind for you, Little Buddy.

- I want that one.

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Look over here.

Those masks haven't been through final processing.

This one has.

There you are.

That's wonderful.

What final process?

- Don't ask me.

Hey, Mr. Cochran,

just what is the final process?

I asure you it's just a little bit of this

and a little bit of that.

Quality inspection, the seal of approval.

You know, the usual.

And of course ...

there's a couple of ...

trade secrets.

I'd sure love to take a look.

Oh, sorry.

Not even a peek for your best

salesman? Oh, just one little look.

Well you see ...

Part of the inspection process involves ...

volatile chemicals, very dangerous. I wouldn't want to put

anybody in any danger. - Oh sure, I understand.

Now listen ... I hope you and your family will be able

to have breakfast with me tomorrow morning.

I'd like your opinion on some of our sales material.

- My opinion?

Oh, sure.

Do you know he's one of the

richest men in the country?

And he got that way selling

cheap gags and Halloween masks.

Oh god, there's hope for us yet.

It's very valuable to me, you know. Your opinion has

always meant a great deal to us. - Oh, thank you, sir.

Where's Little Buddy?

- Oh, there he is, running down there.

See him there?

- Oh, yes.

Into everything always.

We like to know everything there is to know.

Like father, like son.

- Oh, yeah.

Excuse me.

Darling?

I think it's time we were going.

See you later.

What's up?

I just saw a couple of men

who looked strangely familiar.

And there's another one.

They look a lot like the man,

who killed your father.

Oh, my God!

- What?

That's Papa's car.

Wait, Ellie, Ellie. Don't.

Trade secrets.

I saw it.

I know I saw it.

I think it's time

for the marines.

I'm scared. I think we should leave.

All right.

You pack ...

I'll call the police.

This place has to fall under somebody's jurisdiction.

Let's go soon, okay?

- All right, all right.

Hallo.

Operator, this is an emergency. I wanna ...

I'm sorry.

We cannot complete your call as dialed.

Please hang up and t...

One more days to Halloween, Halloween, Halloween

One more days to Halloween, Silver Shamrock.

One more days to Halloween ...

- Yes ... information.

I'm sorry. We cannot complete your call as dialed.

Please hang up and check the number and dial again.

Just one more day ...

Only 24 hours, but that's plenty of time

to pick out one more day halloween ...

Ellie?

Ellie?

Operator.

If you'd like to make a call,

Operator!

Please hang up and try again.

If you'd like to make a call,

please hang up and try again.

If you need help, you have to

dial your operator for assistance.

Where's the girl?

Where is she?

Where is she?

Where is she?!

Oh, Jesus. Je...

Clumsy.

This was a rare piece.

German.

Made in Munich ...

I must try to get a replacement.

Ah, Mr. Challis.

- Where is Ellie?

Mrs. Smith.

Ah, sure I believe she's resting just now.

Didn't take you long to get here, Mr. Challis.

Dr. Challis, I should say.

It'll be morning soon.

Halloween morning.

It'll be a very busy day for me.

Being a medical man,

you should find it quite interesting.

The surprising thing is that the internal

components were quite simple to produce, really.

The outer features ...

took much longer to perfect. But then, of course

in the end it's just another form of mask making.

Bless you.

Convincing, aren't they?

Loyal and obedient,
