Short filmTranscript
00:00in case you're wondering i don't hold seances very often i can barely tolerate the living
00:14why would i want to commune with the dead but my mother told me goody is the only one that can
00:21train me to control my psychic ability the sooner i master that the sooner i crack this case
00:30sorry i didn't mean to interrupt your uh do we even want to know i was reaching into the black moir
00:53death to contact a relative feels very on brand for you you have a relative name goody she was
00:59one of the original outcasts been attempting to summon her but she seems to be ignoring my entreaties
01:05oh you thought about using one of my scented candles the aroma of steak tartar is to die for
01:11maybe goody answered you after all
01:16i doubt she communicates in magazine cutouts
01:23you insisted on coming along i was fine on my own
01:47seems like our wannabe deep throat is already here
02:04ew what died smells like childhood
02:10come on second thoughts why don't i just stay out here
02:15he knows a lookout
02:20so
02:34Enid?
03:04Whoever you are, show yourself. Try anything and you'll lose limbs.
03:10Surprise!
03:13Happy birthday to you!
03:18Happy birthday to you!
03:22Happy birthday, dear Wednesday!
03:28Happy birthday to you!
03:34I should have known you were behind this.
03:37What part of no party under the penalty of death do you not understand?
03:42I thought my cake design was pretty inspired.
03:45The pink balloon was my little touch. Why don't you make a wish?
03:53Wait, it's Latin.
03:57Fire will rain when I rise.
04:01Kay, that's not really a wish.
04:04The first part of that phrase was burn on an Evermore's lawn.
04:07It can't be a coincidence.
04:09Wait, we're never eating that cake, are we?
04:13The crackstone is coming.
04:30Crackstone is coming.
04:34Goody, you are the raven in my bloodline.
04:47Wednesday.
04:48I was told you could teach me how to control my ability.
04:51There is no controlling a raging river.
04:54You must learn to navigate it without drowning.
04:56Time is not on our side.
05:00To stop Crackstone, this place you must seek.
05:04Do you always speak in riddles?
05:08Do you always seek simple answers?
05:11The battle of a raven is a solitary one.
05:13You end up alone, unable to trust others.
05:16Only seeing the darkness within them.
05:18Is that supposed to scare me?
05:21It should.
05:34Careful.
05:39That's my cold shoulder.
05:41Don't blame Thing.
05:42The party was my idea.
05:44I believe everyone deserves to be celebrated on their birthday.
05:46I prefer to be vilified.
05:48What happened?
05:49It looked like you were having a seizure.
05:51I wasn't that lucky.
05:52Can I at least get some kudos for pulling one over on you?
05:57The subterfuge was impressive.
05:59May your 16th be as sour and misery-filled as your desire, your ever-doting mother and father.
06:23They asked Thing to hide it before they left on parents' weekend.
06:25Ew, that's so gross.
06:29I would have preferred live squirrels.
06:33Wow, we're still accepting presents?
06:35Well, do you like it?
06:55What is it exactly?
06:56It's a snood, silly.
06:58I made it in your signature colors.
07:00And you want to know what the best part is?
07:03I have one, too!
07:04We can wear them together to class.
07:08Oh, Enid, this is far too unique to wear to something like class.
07:13I suggest we wait for a more special occasion.
07:17Like a funeral.
07:17You know, Lucas feels terrible about what happened at the dance.
07:26Forgive my skepticism, given his latest act of vandalism.
07:30But he had nothing to do with burning those words onto your lawn.
07:33He's been grounded for the last week.
07:37Fine.
07:38He does his community service here, and we forget it ever happened.
07:42Yes, well, I'm in your debt, Larissa.
07:46I don't need your gratitude.
07:48Just find the delinquents responsible.
07:51Perhaps start with Lucas' cohorts.
07:52Right after we track down whatever attacked the Odinger boy.
07:56Although, all fingers would point to one of your own students.
07:59Be careful, noble.
08:02My charity has its limits.
08:16Last night in the crypt, you had another vision, didn't you?
08:19I didn't realize we were back on speaking terms.
08:21I showed up to your surprise party.
08:23I figured that would have been a hint.
08:25What'd you see?
08:26You said I was ready to speak with you.
08:30You still think I'm the monster?
08:32Haven't ruled it out.
08:34Yeah, well, when you change your mind and you want my help,
08:36you know where to find me.
08:37Where'd you get that?
09:04The bracelet.
09:05Where'd you get it?
09:07Lucas, nice to meet you.
09:11Bianca.
09:12I know.
09:13Last week at the Weathervay, my dad said I had to get my act together.
09:17After he left, this woman in the next booth told me about this self-help app,
09:20Morning Song, said he could help me refocus my life.
09:24Usually I'd call BS on something like that, but for some reason...
09:28You believed her?
09:29Yeah.
09:30And she turned out to be right, so I signed up.
09:33And they sent me this.
09:34I guarantee Morning Song doesn't give a damn about your well-being.
09:39They're only interested in your money.
09:41Do yourself a favor.
09:43Delete that app.
09:44The more you listen to them, the more they sink their claws into you.
09:47How do you know?
09:49I just do.
09:50Which is why I'm warning the normie idiot who ruined my killer dress with his bullshit prank
09:57to not get sucked into Morning Song.
09:59Because you're just the type they're looking for.
10:03Guessing that's not a compliment.
10:06What do you care anyway?
10:07I'm trying not to turn into my mother.
10:10She's like the ghost of bitchiness future.
10:15Hey.
10:17I'll be at the Weathervayne later if you want to stop by.
10:19Maybe we can exchange notes on self-improvement.
10:31I haven't always been against birthdays.
10:34Each one reminds me I'm a year closer to death's cold embrace.
10:39What's not to like about that?
10:42Besides, my parents always made sure my birthdays were memorable.
10:45Happy birthday to you.
10:48Happy birthday to you.
10:49Perfect surprise.
10:54The perfect cake.
10:55The perfect party games.
11:01The perfect party games.
11:01The perfect party games.
11:15But now parties and presents and games.
11:19It all feels so trivial.
11:27Goody warned me I was destined to be alone.
11:30And that I'd be sorry for it.
11:35Dr. Kimbot.
11:36I haven't seen you since our session with your family.
11:38Which was certainly one I won't forget.
11:42How are things going with them?
11:43My mother and I spent some quality time together.
11:46Got our hands dirty.
11:47Gardening?
11:48Grave digging.
11:50And I managed to keep my father out of prison.
11:54What brings you here?
11:57Eugene's mom's.
11:58I'm working with them.
11:59Trauma like this leaves emotional scars on the whole family.
12:03They had to head home for a few days.
12:05So I promised I'd check in on him.
12:08I'll leave you to it.
12:11Who's Goody?
12:12She's a very distant cousin.
12:19Very distant.
12:21Sounds like she doesn't see you for who you really are.
12:23She sees more than you know.
12:29I want to assure you I remain as cold and heartless as the first day we met.
12:34I doubt a cold, heartless person would be sitting by her friend's bedside feeling some modicum of guilt for his condition.
12:38I didn't ask for a free session.
12:41Consider it my birthday gift.
12:42Come in.
12:54This just arrived from London.
12:59Copy of an old death certificate you requested.
13:01Oh, thanks, Agnes.
13:03Oh, by the way, has Inez Bloom called again?
13:05You mean about the lights coming on at the old Gates place?
13:08A couple days ago, I referred her to the sheriff's office.
13:10I know you're usually a quad kind of girl, but I've been working on that all week.
13:30Birthday, yes.
13:31Happy, never.
13:32Is there any one thing you didn't tell?
13:36Well, who do you think delivered the cake?
13:38Yeah, I went with a 98% dark chocolate ganache knowing your preferred color palette.
13:48Oh, it's, uh, is that Enid's gift?
13:51It's perfect if you're fleeing a war-torn country on foot.
13:54Come on, don't you like a day that's all about you?
13:56Every day is all about me.
13:58This one just comes with cake and a bad song.
14:02So, if I asked you out to a non-birthday, song-free dinner,
14:07would that be something you're interested in?
14:13I have a tight deadline.
14:15Emphasis on dead.
14:17Term paper?
14:19It's about how whitewashing the sins of our past will come back to kill us all.
14:24Oh.
14:27Have you seen that before?
14:38Um, what's that supposed to be?
14:42Never mind.
14:43Okay, did-did I do something?
14:52I just feel like ever since the rave-in, you've kind of been ghosting me.
14:56Am I wrong?
15:03Guess I got my answer.
15:04You got a tall black, two sugars to go?
15:15That threat burned onto the lawn at school.
15:18It's also etched on the wall inside Crackstone's crypt.
15:21Don't tell me you've been out there digging up more bodies.
15:23There's a connection there.
15:24I know it.
15:26All right, well, I'll make sure I put out an APB on a dead pilgrim.
15:29I figured since you no longer have an old vendetta to obsess over, you're free to self some real crime.
15:35Your father and I buried the hatchet.
15:37Maybe you should do the same.
15:39I don't bury hatchets.
15:42I sharpen them.
15:42I need your help.
16:00Don't gloat.
16:02What, do you want some drawing lessons?
16:07Your line works a little shaky.
16:10I saw that in a vision.
16:11Do you recognize it?
16:12When did you draw this?
16:22A couple days ago.
16:24I started having those dreams again, like before.
16:27Was the monster in them?
16:29No, but I could feel it in the shadows, you know, kind of lurking in my mind.
16:36Do you know where this is?
16:38It's the old Gates Mansion.
16:40I pass it when I go running.
16:41Do you know where this is?
16:44Why?
16:57Okay, listen.
16:58After the dance, I just wanted to forget about you, but I couldn't.
17:06So I started painting and that's what came out, all right?
17:08I can hear you up there playing.
17:21I can tell how you get lost in the music.
17:24I feel like it's the only time I get to see the real you.
17:26I can take the rest of my life like this.
17:34Hey, you're Bianca, right?
17:36Hey, you're Bianca, right?
17:49Uh, could you do me a favor?
17:52Wednesday forgot this.
17:53Could you give it back to her?
17:54Birthday gift from Enid.
17:57Aren't you her boyfriend?
17:59Definitely not.
18:02Sure.
18:02No problem.
18:04I was just leaving anyway.
18:06I didn't think you were actually going to show.
18:14Me neither.
18:20I took your advice.
18:23Seriously, why are you here?
18:26I didn't think any outcasts would ever speak to me again.
18:30Just wanted someone to talk to.
18:34I feel like we're in the same boat.
18:36My mother showed up last week to remind me that sirens can never change their scales.
18:41No matter how hard I try, there will always be people who look down on me.
18:45My mission is to prove her wrong.
18:47I just figured you could relate.
18:54Most people think I'll never amount to anything.
18:58And while we're being honest, I haven't done much to make them think differently.
19:05Why'd you trash the dance?
19:07I don't know.
19:09I guess I was angry that my dad was humiliated on outreach day.
19:13When I paid back.
19:14But then after we did it, it kind of felt like crap.
19:19I realized I needed to wipe the board, you know?
19:22Start over.
19:23If that makes any sense.
19:25More than you know.
19:29This is where Garrett Gates lived.
19:40The boy my father was accused of murdering.
19:42The sheriff told me his family died.
19:47Along with their legacy of hate.
19:50But ghosts don't kill the living.
19:53Goody showed me this house for a reason.
19:55I need to unlock its secrets.
19:57Or die trying.
19:59I need to unlock it.
20:29I need a distraction.
20:41Sheriff, pick up your damn phone. It's noble.
20:44Listen, I might have figured out who's behind all of this.
20:48It's a long shot, so I'm going to have to lay it out for you.
20:52We'll do it over pie at the weather vane, just like the old days.
20:56See you soon.
20:59See you soon.
21:29See you soon.
21:58See you soon.
22:00Call 9-1-1!
22:03Get an ambulance!
22:04He's alive. Barely.
22:13I'll take you back after I get your statement.
22:16I already gave it to your deputy. Blue Cadillac with no license plates.
22:21Yeah, I know.
22:23I want a better one.
22:26What were you doing. What were you doing in the back of the mayor's SUV?
22:30I saw him coming out of the gates mansion.
22:32The gates mansion. What the hell were you doing there?
22:35House hunting.
22:36I overheard the voicemail. I overheard the voicemail. He left you. I was intrigued.
22:43Back when the mayor was sheriff, he used to have a lot of wild theories on cases that he couldn't solve.
22:50So we would dissect them over. Probably sitting right back there in that booth. Most of the time they went nowhere.
22:56Call me old fashioned. But when someone has run over on their way to give the police key information, it usually means they were onto something.
23:03And all signs point to the gates family in that house.
23:06The gates family? How? They're all dead, every last one of them. And I don't believe in ghosts.
23:12Maybe you should.
23:21How do you manage to end up at the center of every terrible thing that happens around here?
23:25Incredible luck.
23:27As of now, the school is on full lockdown.
23:29And your off-campus privileges are revoked until further notice.
23:44Wednesday.
23:46I just heard what happened to Mayor Walker.
23:48Are you alright? I can't imagine witnessing something like that.
23:52It was on my bucket list.
23:54You can tell the warden I'm still in my cell.
23:57Principal Weems is only looking out for your best interests.
24:01You could have been seriously hurt. Or worse.
24:08How goes the novel?
24:10Viper's investigation has been thwarted on several fronts, but she's plotting her next course of action.
24:16Sounds intriguing.
24:19I saw this on my bookshelf and thought of you.
24:25Mary Shelley wrote it on a dare when she was only 19.
24:28I know.
24:29She's both my literary hero and nemesis.
24:32And I have two years and 364 days to beat her.
24:35Well, I think it's very smart that you're focusing on literary monsters and leaving whatever real ones might be out there to the authorities.
24:44No man chooses evil because it is evil.
24:46He only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks.
24:48Mary Shelley wrote that line to describe people like Weems, who do bad things under the guise of protecting the greater good.
24:54Did she put you up to this? Encourage me to pursue other interests?
24:59No.
25:01But she will expel you if you continue to defy her.
25:05So you're only looking out for my best interests?
25:08Always.
25:10I think we're a lot alike.
25:11We aren't.
25:13I don't need your help or your pity.
25:15I already have a mother and a therapist.
25:16That's enough torture, even for me.
25:40Hello?
25:41I've reconsidered your offer.
25:43My offer?
25:44The non-birthday dinner?
25:47Really?
25:48That's great.
25:49Um...
25:51When are you free?
25:52Pick me up outside the Nevermore gates at 8 o'clock.
25:55Cut your lights.
25:57Uh...
25:59Wednesday?
26:01Ty, what did I tell you?
26:03Come on, bud.
26:04Steer clear of Wednesday, Adam.
26:06She's the kind of girl who's gonna get you hurt.
26:08Leave me under the type.
26:10What, is that supposed to be about Mom?
26:14Of course not.
26:15And that would require you to actually talk about her.
26:28I can't deal with this right now.
26:31I gotta get to the hospital.
26:32I gotta check on the mayor.
26:33Be home before curfew.
26:34Did you ever even love her?
26:42The one you could ever know.
26:44I've been thinking about my less than enthusiastic response to your surprise soiree.
27:01And I must admit, I regret not showing my gratitude towards you more appropriately.
27:08You really mean it?
27:09Take the win, Enid.
27:10If only there were a way for us to get off campus and have a little birthday redo.
27:15Just two best friends.
27:18Too bad the school is on lockdown.
27:20Do you look at that full moon.
27:28Oh!
27:29How about I say I'm about to wolf out and get a pass to the Lupin Cages.
27:32And say you volunteered to lock me in.
27:35My deviousness has finally rubbed off on you.
27:38Thing.
27:40You know what to do, right?
27:41Oh!
27:46We should wear our snoods.
27:50Oh, I...
27:52I believe I left mine at fencing.
27:53Actually, you left yours at the weather vane.
27:56Luckily Bianca brought it back.
27:58Like a monkey's paw.
28:11Oh!
28:14Gee!
28:18Let's go.
28:20Uh, uh...
28:21Hi.
28:22Nice to see you too.
28:30Wait.
28:31He's our Uber driver?
28:32Uber driver?
28:34I thought we were going on a date.
28:36I thought this was a girl's night out.
28:38There's been a change of plans.
28:39Okay, what's up with the weird matching hoodie scarf thingies?
28:43Don't ask.
28:44Just drive.
29:02Hey, Wednesday?
29:06You guys in here?
29:08Listen, I know you're still mad about the painting, okay?
29:10But I just want to talk to you for a second.
29:22What does she think?
29:23Seriously?
29:33You want to go in there?
29:36This place is creepy AF.
29:38I know.
29:41Okay, this isn't what I signed on for.
29:43Ditto!
29:44I didn't want to celebrate my birthday by going to dinner or a surprise party.
29:47I want to do this.
29:50I want to do this.
29:53Then you should have just said so.
29:55You didn't have to trick us.
29:57If you want to go, you can.
29:59I'm going to go check out the garage.
30:01I'm going to go check out the garage.
30:02Hey, let me try.
30:03Hey, let me try.
30:04Hey, let me try.
30:34This is pointless.
30:40Can I try?
30:48Whoa.
30:52It's a werewolf thing.
30:57This is the car that hit the mayor.
31:05Okay, this just took a dark turn.
31:08We need to call Tyler's dad right freaking now.
31:11Why?
31:13So he can take me back to Nevermore and get me expelled?
31:16It's not gonna happen.
31:27This is the night I'm gonna die.
31:51Here they are.
31:52The Gates family.
31:54They scrub up well for psychopaths.
31:57There's Garrod.
32:00His outcast-hating father, Ansel.
32:02And you must be Laurel.
32:04They're all long gone.
32:06So the question is,
32:08why did Goody lead me here?
32:21What?
32:36Seen enough?
32:41Who doesn't have a spooky built-in altar in their family library?
33:08Ours is in the living room.
33:10More seating for a year-long Dia de los Muertos.
33:15We're still warm.
33:37All right, Tyler.
33:39You check the rest of the ground floor.
33:41Ina and I will search upstairs.
33:43We will.
33:44All right, you go left, I go right.
33:50You seriously wanna split up?
33:51In here?
33:52That is literally how every best friend dies in a horror movie.
33:59The faster we search, the sooner you can leave.
34:02No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
34:03Oh.
34:04Why am I even here?
34:05I know what my mom would say.
34:06That is literally how every best friend dies in a horror movie.
34:09The faster we search, the sooner you can leave.
34:13No, no, no, no, no.
34:15Oh!
34:19Why am I even here?
34:25I know what my mom would say.
34:28Enid, you're a doormat.
34:31You're too needy.
34:33Show some teeth. Nobody likes a desperate little furball.
34:37Shut up, Mom! Get out of my head!
34:45Wednesday! You need to see this!
34:59The bed's made.
35:01No dust or cobwebs.
35:11LG.
35:20Laurel Gates.
35:22Looks like somebody moved back into their old room.
35:26It's not possible.
35:28She died 25 years ago, drowned overseas.
35:33Let's go.
35:35This is officially the worst girls' night out ever!
35:38Guys, get out! It's here!
35:39Guys, get out! It's here!
35:46The damn waiter. Go!
35:48Oh, my God! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
35:53Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
36:11No, no, no, not your spirit.
36:21Stop it.
36:28Oh, my God.
36:41Oh, my God.
37:11What are you doing?
37:27These are the body parts missing from the monster's victims.
37:29Come on.
37:35You okay?
37:40Since when do you care?
37:46Winston, what the hell are you thinking?
37:48We have to go back for Tyler.
37:50The monster's back there.
37:56Enid, hold this.
37:58The thing is still inside.
37:59You're here.
37:59Can you walk?
38:02Where'd you come from?
38:04Here.
38:05Take this.
38:08What happened to him?
38:19Thanks, Doc.
38:20Look, not to make this about me, but I am having a full-blown panic attack right now.
38:26We need to get back before Reams realizes we've been gone.
38:31What the hell happened?
38:33This was you, wasn't it?
38:34Wait, Dad, please.
38:36I'm okay.
38:37Sheriff, I understand you're upset, but I think you need to see something.
38:39It was all here.
38:54The body parts and the blue Cadillac, the altar and the bedroom filled with fresh roses.
39:00The hell, it's all gone now.
39:02Somebody cleared this place out after we left.
39:05Listen, yesterday I told you all signs pointed to this house, and I was right.
39:09Is that your justification for almost getting my son and your friends killed?
39:13Huh?
39:15Now you listen to me.
39:17From this point forward, you are forbidden from seeing Tyler,
39:21and you are forbidden from pursuing anything to do with this case.
39:25Understood?
39:38You directly violated my explicit order and left campus during a lockdown.
39:44Not to mention putting your peers and yourself in danger.
39:48Which is grounds for expulsion, I know.
39:51And you have every right to exercise that option.
39:54I do believe it would be a grave error on your part.
39:58I think contrition might be in order right now, Miss Adams.
40:02Not hubris.
40:03I'll never apologize for trying to uncover a truth.
40:15What is this?
40:17It's a warning from Rowan.
40:21Is this why he tried to kill you?
40:31Yes, Mother drew it before she died.
40:34Said I was destined to destroy the school.
40:35But I think I'm meant to save it.
40:40Now you know what's at stake.
40:41Everything you vowed to protect, no less.
40:44I think I deserve another chance.
40:49Please.
40:50One more infraction.
41:04One more step out of line, and you will be expelled.
41:10No ifs, no buts.
41:13Enid and Xavier are spared as well.
41:14And no more negotiation.
41:17Good night.
41:31Where are you going?
41:33Yoko's room.
41:35Thornhill said I could crash there for a few nights.
41:36There's no need.
41:39I spoke with Wienge.
41:40You and Xavier won't be punished.
41:42Am I supposed to thank you?
41:44I already apologized.
41:46It's over.
41:48Over?
41:50Tonight was just the icing on the birthday cake you couldn't even be bothered to cut.
41:55You'll use anyone to get what you want, even if it means putting them in danger.
42:00We could have died tonight because of your stupid obsession.
42:03But we didn't.
42:05Now I'm one step closer to solving this case.
42:08That is what is important.
42:13I've tried.
42:15Really, really, really hard to be your friend.
42:20Always put myself out there.
42:22Thought of your feelings.
42:23Told people, I know she gives off serial killer vibes, but she's really just shy.
42:27I never asked you to do that.
42:29You didn't have to because that's what friends do.
42:31They don't have to be asked.
42:34And the fact that you don't know that says everything.
42:39You want to be alone, Wednesday?
42:40Be alone.
42:59Goodie warned that I was destined to be alone.
43:18Maybe it's inevitable.
43:19But for the first time in my life, it doesn't feel good.
43:25There's also something else.
43:38A gnawing feeling.
43:42That death is close at hand.
43:47Watching me.
43:48But I won't be intimidated.
44:09And I will never give up.
44:10That house.
44:11That house.
44:16That family.
44:20Crackstone.
44:23The monster.
44:25Somehow me.
44:26We all seem to be connected like a spider's web.
44:34And when Mayor Walker got too close to the truth, he was silenced.
44:39But I won't be.
44:44But I won't be.
44:50So whoever is watching me, know this.
44:55I will find you.
45:00I will find you.
45:25I will find you.
45:41I will find you.
45:46I will find you.
45:48I will find you.
