00:38 So, who's turns it tonight?

00:40 Tucker.

00:41 Where is your sweet little bro?

00:44 You mean he isn't here yet?

00:46 I knew that little puke was gonna be trouble.

00:48 Don't worry.

00:49 He's here.

00:50 [phone ringing]

00:56 Am I missing something?

00:58 [phone ringing]

01:03 Tucker?

01:04 Yeah.

01:05 We're all set.

01:07 Okay.

01:08 [music]

01:25 Can everybody hear me?

01:27 Yeah.

01:28 Yeah.

01:29 Okay.

01:30 I'm telling my story this way,

01:32 'cause if you think about it,

01:34 a telephone is probably the scariest thing in your house.

01:37 Say what?

01:39 You might feel safe with your doors and windows locked,

01:42 but all someone has to do is dial your number.

01:45 You answer the phone,

01:47 and bingo, they're inside.

01:50 But it's just their voice.

01:52 Yeah.

01:53 But when you pick up that phone,

01:55 you made a connection,

01:57 and it might be to a place that you don't want to be connected to.

02:02 Do you have the pouch?

02:03 We're all set.

02:05 Submit it for the approval of the Midnight Society.

02:08 I call this story,

02:11 "Tale of the Phone Please."

02:14 [music]

02:34 [phone dialing]

02:52 Hugo, what are you scared of?

02:56 [phone dialing]

03:01 [phone ringing]

03:07 Hello?

03:08 Yeah, uh, hello.

03:11 This is the Acme Appliance Company.

03:13 Is your refrigerator running?

03:15 Yeah.

03:16 Then you better run after it before it gets away.

03:20 Lame.

03:22 Very lame.

03:24 Listen and learn, my friend.

03:27 [phone ringing]

03:33 Hello?

03:34 And hello to you, ma'am.

03:36 This is radio station KZIT,

03:41 and you have just been selected to be one of our lucky contestants.

03:45 [music]

03:49 Now, to qualify for an all-expense-paid dream vacation,

03:53 all you have to do is answer one easy question.

03:57 [music]

04:03 Listen carefully.

04:05 In centimeters, exactly how wide is Antarctica?

04:08 You have ten seconds.

04:10 [music]

04:13 Come on, Jake. It's not funny.

04:15 Hurry, ma'am.

04:17 Don't let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away.

04:21 [music]

04:24 Oh, dear. I really don't know.

04:27 You have four, three, two, one, and cut.

04:32 [screams]

04:34 What are you doing?

04:36 No, what are you doing? Making prank calls again?

04:39 No, I was trying to get Mom and Dad.

04:42 Look, pal, I'm in charge here while they're on vacation,

04:46 so stop acting like a little wart.

04:49 [door opens]

04:51 I can't believe you're letting him talk you into this stuff.

04:55 You're not going to tell Mom and Dad, are you?

04:58 Forget Mom and Dad.

05:00 You're going to get tagged by the phone police, you zero.

05:04 Phone police?

05:06 [music]

05:11 What are the phone police?

05:13 You're kidding, right?

05:15 You've never heard of the phone police?

05:17 No.

05:19 Well, the phone has certain rules of operation.

05:23 You don't leave it off the hook,

05:26 you don't let it ring too long,

05:28 and you don't make stupid calls like my blunt little brother.

05:33 She's making this up.

05:35 You think so, eh?

05:38 Well, keep messing with the phone,

05:41 and you'll end up like the Baxter kid.

05:43 Who's the Baxter kid?

05:46 Billy Baxter.

05:49 Happened a long time ago.

05:52 He was making prank calls,

05:55 and the phone police got him.

05:57 Oh, give me a break.

05:59 It's true.

06:01 They never saw him again.

06:03 How do you know all this?

06:06 Everybody knows about the Baxter kid,

06:09 except you, my vacant sibling.

06:12 [laughs]

06:15 You mess with the phone,

06:17 you answer to the phone police.

06:22 Want to make a call?

06:24 I gotta go.

06:26 Good thing one of you guys has some brains.

06:30 Chris, you don't believe that stuff, do you?

06:33 It doesn't matter. It's no fun anyway.

06:35 I'll see you tomorrow.

06:36 Chris.

06:38 Phone police. Yeah, right.

06:41 Stupid.

06:44 [phone ringing]

06:47 [music playing]

06:50 A...Amus...Angelo...B...Ben...

07:04 Billy Baxter?

07:06 [music playing]

07:10 It's only got six numbers. This won't work.

07:15 [phone ringing]

07:18 Hello?

07:20 [phone ringing]

07:23 [phone ringing]

07:37 [phone ringing]

07:41 Hello?

07:43 Hey, kid, I know you can hear me.

07:46 You gotta help me.

07:48 [music playing]

07:51 [phone ringing]

07:54 (phone ringing)

07:56 (phone ringing)

07:59 (phone ringing)

08:01 (sighing)

08:12 (phone ringing)

08:27 (phone ringing)

08:29 - Who are you, what do you want?

08:34 - I know what happened to you, Cole.

08:36 You can kill me faster.

08:38 You gotta help me.

08:39 Please help me.

08:47 Please.

08:50 Please help me.

08:52 (dramatic music)

08:55 - It must have been Annie.

09:05 It must have been Annie pulling your chain.

09:07 - It was unplugged, Chris.

09:08 How could you make it ring?

09:11 - I don't know, maybe it was a dream.

09:14 - Can't be.

09:18 - So answer it.

09:21 - No way, you answer it.

09:23 (phone ringing)

09:31 - Hello?

09:32 That guy last night, did he sound like this?

09:39 - Help, you gotta get me out.

09:41 Help me out of here.

09:43 - Lose this, we gotta do something.

09:46 (dramatic music)

09:48 - [Man] Number one to one, the gate is in maintenance.

09:59 Number one to one, the gate is in maintenance.

10:03 (dramatic music)

10:06 - Excuse me.

10:28 - Yes?

10:30 - How can we find out where this number comes from?

10:34 - There's only six numbers,

10:35 and we thought it was foreign or something.

10:38 - It's not foreign, it's old and discontinued.

10:42 - It can't be, we just called it and got somebody.

10:47 - You called this number and got an answer?

10:50 - Well, sorta.

10:52 It was more like static, but someone was there.

10:55 Then they started calling me back.

10:58 - The records department is in the basement.

11:02 They'll take care of it.

11:04 - Thanks.

11:06 - [Man] Number 12, call 4229.

11:08 4229.

11:11 (dramatic music)

11:18 - Now what?

11:27 - I'm scared.

11:28 (dramatic music)

11:35, where's the number?

11:37 (dramatic music)

11:39 Where's the number?

12:02 (dramatic music)

12:04 - Yeah, what can I do for you?

12:18 - The lady upstairs said you could tell us

12:21 who has this number.

12:23 - See?

12:31 (dramatic music)

12:33 We don't get very many of these nowadays.

12:38 Come on back.

12:42 Using the phone to tell a couple of jokes, eh?

12:52 - What?

12:54 - Just stand there, young fella.

12:57 I'll take care of you.

12:59 (dramatic music)

13:01 - What's going on?

13:03 - Jane O'Brien, phone police.

13:11 - What?

13:13 (dramatic music)

13:16 (woman screaming)

13:19 - Hey.

13:35 Let me out of here, what is this?

13:40 - Figuring it out?

13:41 I know, 'cause you're a real smart kid.

13:44 You got here quicker than anyone ever has.

13:48 (laughing)

13:50 - Help, Chris, somebody help.

13:58 (phone ringing)

14:02 Hello?

14:11 - Don't bother shouting.

14:12 Someone can hear you, I know, I'm trying.

14:15 - Who is this?

14:17 - Have you forgotten already?

14:19 It's Billy Baxter.

14:20 - Oh man, what is this place?

14:23 Why am I here?

14:25 - You never should have messed with the phone.

14:27 Now they've got you.

14:28 - No, I'm gonna call my parents.

14:31 - Not on that phone, you won't.

14:33 It only takes incoming calls.

14:35 - But you called me.

14:36 - That's 'cause you called me first.

14:38 Maybe you'll be lucky you stay on the phone.

14:41 Someone might hear you someday.

14:43 - Wait, don't hang up.

14:45 (dramatic music)

14:53 Yeah, yeah, hang on.

15:09 (dramatic music)

15:11 - Annie, Annie, they got Jake.

15:16 - Just like you said, it's the phone police.

15:19 We went down to the phone company.

15:21 - Who are you and how do you know my name?

15:23 - What?

15:24 It's me.

15:26 - Get out of here before I phone the police.

15:27 - Annie, it's me, Chris, Jake's friend.

15:31 They got him.

15:32 - I don't know you and I don't know any Jake.

15:35 I'll call my cops.

15:36 - Wait.

15:37 - I'm your brother.

15:39 What is with you?

15:40 Look, I don't have any brother, okay?

15:43 Now get out of here.

15:44 You're not kidding, are you?

15:49 - No, I'm not kidding.

15:50 I'll beam you.

15:51 - Hey!

15:52 I'll prove it to you.

15:55 This is Jake's bed room.

16:02 Are you gonna get out of here or do I call the cops?

16:06 - The cops, yeah.

16:08 You told us a story about the phone police

16:10 and a kid named Billy Baxter.

16:12 You know the story?

16:13 - Yeah, I know it.

16:14 Except the way I heard it,

16:17 they got a kid named O'Brien.

16:20 Jake O'Brien.

16:22 - Jake O'Brien?

16:25 - Oh, let me go!

16:26 Let me go!

16:28 Oh, get off!

16:29 I didn't do anything!

16:30 I swear!

16:31 It's just a joke!

16:33 Don't think about her!

16:35 (eerie music)

16:37 - Oh, man, those guys work fast.

17:04 (phone ringing)

17:06 - Leave me alone, you crazy old--

17:14 - Jake, take it easy.

17:16 It's me.

17:17 - Chris, get me out of here, man.

17:18 This place is nuts.

17:21 I didn't do anything wrong.

17:22 You gotta help me.

17:23 - Whoa, calm down.

17:26 - Get Annie, get my parents.

17:27 - Ah, I can't do that, Jake.

17:30 - Why not?

17:31 You gotta do something.

17:33 - Why are we stuck in here forever?

17:35 - Listen, this whole thing is weirder than you even know.

17:39 - I'm scared, Chris.

17:41 - Me too, but I got a plan.

17:45 Maybe we can beat the phone police at their own game.

17:59 (police radio chattering)

18:03 (phone ringing)

18:15 - Hello?

18:17 (eerie music)

18:23 (clattering)

18:26 (phone ringing)

18:33 (phone ringing)

18:52 - Answer the phone!

18:53 (clattering)

19:10 (eerie music)

19:17 (clattering)

19:19 - Hey, kid, I told you.

19:30 Answer the phone!

19:31 (clattering)

19:38 (thudding)

19:46 (clattering)

19:48 (eerie music)

19:59 (clattering)

20:02 Hey, you, answer the phone!

20:21 Listen, kid, if you think you've got it bad now,

20:27 just you wait.

20:28 That's it!

20:32 You've had it.

20:35 - Let's get out of here!

20:43 - Forget it, kid!

20:46 No one gets away from the phone police!

20:50 - Wait.

20:51 - Come on.

20:55 (eerie music)

20:57 No!

21:13 This way.

21:14 Oh, man, they're all over the place!

21:25 (eerie music)

21:27 This way.

21:28 (eerie music)

21:33 We're dead!

21:37 We're not giving up now.

21:52 (clattering)

21:54 Yes!

21:55 (eerie music)

21:57 We got it!

22:04 We're out of here!

22:05 Trapped!

22:08 (clattering)

22:13 - There!

22:16 (eerie music)

22:19 (clattering)

22:22 - Now, where did they?

22:32 (phone chimes)

22:35 - Okay, coast is clear.

22:42 (clattering)

22:49 (eerie music)

22:51 - Come on.

22:56 (eerie music)

22:58 Thanks, man.

23:06 I'm glad you made it out of there.

23:09 Come on!

23:12 (eerie music)

23:15 (police sirens)

23:18 (eerie music)

23:21 (police sirens)

23:33 (eerie music)

23:37 (police sirens)

23:39 - We made it.

23:51 You're saved, man.

23:52 Okay, listen.

23:56 I gotta tell you something.

23:58 After you got caught, I went to your house and...

24:01 (screams)

24:03 (eerie music)

24:06 (police sirens)

24:09 - What's wrong with you guys?

24:20 - This is Jake, Annie, your brother.

24:23 You gotta remember him now.

24:25 - Where do you get these friends from, Jake?

24:27 Do you order them from the bag of comics?

24:30 - You remember him?

24:31 You know who he is?

24:33 - Yeah.

24:34 In fact, I'd like to forget him if I could.

24:38 (eerie music)

24:43 I don't believe this.

24:47 (eerie music)

24:50 Jake, your room's back to normal.

24:53 - What are you two yams talking about?

24:56 - Don't answer it!

24:57 - You two are losing it.

24:59 - Annie, don't, it's the phone police.

25:01 - Phone police?

25:03 Airhead, I made that up.

25:05 - But it's true, they caught me.

25:07 - Yeah, I wish.

25:08 (eerie music)

25:11 - How's pizza?

25:13 One jumbo, extra cheese, all dressed, holy anchovies?

25:20 - Did you guys order pizza?

25:22 - Ah, jeez, sorry.

25:26 It's 238, not 328.

25:28 Night.

25:32 (eerie music)

25:35 - I can't believe you guys bought that story

25:38 with the phone police.

25:40 Talk about gullible.

25:42 (eerie music)

25:44 - I'm gonna lie down.

25:52 I'm exhausted.

25:53 - It did happen, though, didn't it?

25:58 (eerie music)

26:02 (eerie music)

26:04 (eerie music)

26:16 (phone ringing)

26:25 (eerie music)

26:28 (eerie music)

26:31 - Jake and Chris never made another prank call.

26:40 'Cause they were never sure if the phone police

26:42 were really real.

26:44 Or if they could believe anything else

26:47 they ever saw again.

26:49 - The end.

26:54 (laughing)

26:56 - Excellent, Tucker.

26:57 Great story.

26:58 - Good story.

26:59 - I declare this meeting of the Midnight Society closed.
