and I charted out all

of the big events.

The Ironworks explosion in 1908.

The Bradley Gang in '35

and The Black Spot in '62.

And now the kids being...

I realized that this

stuff seems to happen

every 27 years.

Ok so let me get this straight.

IT comes out from wherever

to eat kids for like a year

and then what?

IT just goes into hibernation?

Maybe it's like... What do you call it?

Cicadas.

You know, the bugs that come

out once every 17 years.

My grandfather thinks

this town is cursed.

He says

that all the bad things

that happened in this town

are because of one thing.

An evil thing that feeds

off the people of Derry.

But it can't be one thing.

We all saw something different.

Maybe.

Or maybe IT knows what scares

us most and that's what we see.

I-I saw a leper.

He was like a walking infection.

But you didn't.

Because IT isn't real.

None of this is.

Not Eddie's leper

or Bill seeing Georgie

or the woman I keep seeing.

Is she hot?

No. Richie.

She's not hot.

Her face is all messed up.

None of this makes any sense.

They're all like bad dreams.

I don't think so, I know the difference

between a bad dream and real life, okay?

What did you see? You

saw something too?

Yes.

You guys know that burnt

down house on Harris Avenue?

I was inside when it burned down.

Before I rescued...

my mom and dad were trapped

in the next room over from me.

They were pushing and

pounding on the door

trying to get to me.

Hurry up, son!

I'm burning!

But it was too hot.

When firefighters found them

the skin on their hands

melted down to the bone.

We're all afraid of something.

Got that right.

Why Rich? What are you afraid of?

Clowns.

Okay.

Look.

Storm drain.

That's were Georgie disappeared,

there's the Ironworks,

and the Black Spot.

Everywhere IT happens it's-it's

all connected by the sewers

and they all meet up at the

the well-house.

You mean the house on Neibolt Street.

You mean the creepy-ass house where all

the junkies and hobos like to sleep?

I hate that place.

Always feels like it's watching me.

That's where I saw IT.

There I saw a clown.

Tha-tha-tha-that's where IT lives.

I can't imagine anything

ever wanting to live there.

Can we stop talking about this?

I can barely breathe.

It's summer.

We're kids, I can barely breathe

having a f***ing asthma attack

and f*** doing this.

What the hell! Put the map back!

What happened?

What's going on?

I don't know, look!

Guys...

Georgie.

Bill?

WHAT THE F***!

It's IT.

WHAT THE F*** IS THAT?

I DON'T F***ING KNOW!

Turn it off!

Yes, Turn it off!

Run, Stanley!

What is that?

What's up?

Thanks, Ben.

IT saw us.

IT saw us and It knows where we are.

IT always knew.

Alright Stan, so let's go.

Go?

Go where?

Neibolt.

That's where G-g-g-Georgie is.

After that?

Yeah, it's summer, we

should be outside...

If you say it's summer one

more f-f-f-f***ing time.

Bill?

Wait!

"He t-t-t-thrusts his fists.

"Against the p-p-post"

"and still insists he

sees the g-g-g-ghost."

Bill!

Bill, you can't go in there.

This is crazy.

Look, you don't have

to come in with me,

but what happens when

another Georgie goes missing,

or another Betty or another

Ed Corcoran or one of us?

Are you just going to pretend it didn't

happen like everyone else in this town?

Because I can't.

I go home and all I see is

that Georgie isn't there,

his clothes, his toys,

his stupid stuffed animals

but he isn't.

So walking into this house

for me...

it's easier that walking into my own.

Wow.

What?

He didn't stutter once.

Wait!

Uhhh, shouldn't we have

some people keep watch,

just in case something bad happens?

Wh-wh-wh-who wants to stay out here?

F***.

I can't believe i

pulled the short straw

you guys are lucky you're

not measuring d*cks.

Shut up, Richie.

I can smell that.

Don't breathe through your mouth.

Home come?

Cause then you're eating it.

What?

It, it says I'm missing.

Y-y-y-you're not missing, Richie.

Then why's it say it there, it's my shirt,

that's my hair, that's my face...

Calm down, this isn't real.

That's my name, that's my age,

that's the date...

This isn't real, Richie.

What the f***?

It says I'm missing.

- Am I missing? Will I disappear?

- Take it easy.

Look at me, Richie. Look at me.

This isn't real.

IT's playing tricks on you.

Hello?

Hello?

Help me please!

Betty?

Ripsom?

Eddie...

What are you looking for?

Guys, do you hear that?

She was just here,

where the f*** did she go?

Guys?

Guys!

- Guys!

- Eddie!

What the f***!

Time to take your pill, Eddie.

- Eddie. Open the door!

- Richie.

Are you okay?

Eddie, what's going on?

Eds.

Eddie.

Hiya Richie.

Eddie.

Eddie.

Eddie.

Where the f*** are you.

We're not playing hide

and seek, dipshit.

Richie?

Richie!

Bill, open the door.

It won't open.

- What's going on? Richie!

- I can't!

Open the door, Rich.

Oh sh*t.

Stupid clowns.

Oh f***.

Beep-beep, Richie.

Let's get out of here.

You wanna play loogie?

Time to float.

Where's my shoe?

Where the f*** were her legs?

What about that?

This isn't real.

Remember the missing kid poster

that wasn't real, so this isn't real.

Tasty, tasty, beautiful fear.

Come on. Ready?

No.

No.

No!

Oh thank f***.

Where's Eddie?

Help!

Eddie!

Oh f***.

Eddie?

This isn't real enough for you, Billy?

I'm not real enough for you?

Holy sh*t!

It was real enough for Georgie.

Get Eddie - Get Eddie.

Whoops!

Let's get outta here.

Go for Eddie. Come on!

Guys, watch out!

Don't - Eddie, look at me.

Guys!

No!

- I!

- I!

Let's get outta here!

Let's get outta here!

Bill, we have to help Eddie.

Nooooo, Nooooo!

- I put the arm in place.

- Don't f***ing touch me!

- Well, one, two, three.

- Don't f***ing touch me!

Sh*t!

You, you did this.

You know how delicate he is.

We were attacked, Mrs. K.

No, don't, don't try to

blame anyone else...

Let me - Get back!

Oh, I've heard of you Miss Marsh...

and I don't want a dirty girl

like you touching my Eddie.

Ms. K, I...

No, you are all monsters, all of you,

Now Eddie's done with

you, you hear, done!

I saw the well.

W-w-w-w-we know where it is

and next time we'll be better prepared.

NO!

No next time, Bill.

You're insane.

Why? We all know nobody

else is going to do anything

Eddie was nearly killed and

look at this motherf***er,

he's leaking hamburger helper.

We can't pretend it's going to go away

Ben, you said yourself it

comes back every 27 years.

Fine! I'll be 40 and

far away from here.

I thought you said you wanted

to get out of this town too.

Because I want to run towards something,

not away.

I'm sorry but who invited

Molly Ringwald into the group?

- Richie...

- I'm just saying, lets face facts

real world

Georgie is dead,

stop trying to get us killed too.

Georgie's not dead.

You couldn't save him but you

could still save yourself.

No!

T-t-t-take it back,

you're scared and we all

are but take it back.

Bill!

You're such a loser.
