00:00And how do we say goodnight, boys and girls?
00:04We count.
00:06One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:34You won't catch me, I won't catch you.
00:37Look how I roll!
00:45Trends, please.
00:46We don't follow them, we make them.
00:4967 is a whole vibe.
01:0567 is a whole vibe.
01:2067 drops and they've completely lost their minds.
01:23You're right, Zoe.
01:24This stopped being a joke a long time ago.
01:34Come on, get the camera.
01:35Let's do this.
01:42Maple Falls 6-7 is not a curse.
01:45It's a rumor with a beat.
01:47Someone made this record blank so you'd fill in the monster yourselves.
01:49So don't chant it.
01:51Don't copy the hand thing.
01:52Don't pass it on.
01:53Urban legends only live when people repeat them.
01:56Tonight, we kill this one.
02:04Uh, Zoe?
02:09Zoe?
02:20That's not a chance.
02:31I ran it six times.
02:33Sometimes the frame just froze.
02:36Twice.
02:37Figures don't record, Zoe.
02:42Then it's the deck.
02:43Equipment, Gitch, has to be.
02:57I got a B.
02:5967 is a D, Miss Kovac.
03:08Six, seven!
03:10Six, seven!
03:26You see what you look for.
03:29It's called Confirmation Bias
03:30There's a whole chapter on it and a book I own
03:35Oh my god, what the hell
03:36Everyone's gone crazy
03:39Six, seven
03:40Not at the table, honey
03:42Re-re-film me doing it at the game
03:44Dev says I'm gonna be famous
03:48Tell Dev fame is a pyramid scheme
04:15If you're watching this, it's already too late
04:25Theo?
04:26Theo?
04:26Before the song, didn't you?
04:28On clocks, on receipts
04:30That's why it's you
04:59Theo Mercer
05:00He sat behind me in chem
05:02He moved away in August
05:03You drove me to his going away thing
05:04Honey, I've never heard that name in my life
05:13You're warm
05:14Are you sleeping enough?
05:28Okay, let's try again
05:30We need to figure out where Theo is
05:32Now
05:33And who he is
05:40Sorry
05:41It only ends one way
05:44C-O-N-G-R-A-T-T-E-O-E
06:06Second night in a row I've seen this guy
06:08I need to figure out who he is

16:42That's the punch gun
16:46Okay

17:53Lightning
17:59Like, spouses ago
18:01I'm doing trick.
18:09You're bunk.
18:14I get the ring to myself between 2 a.m. and the farm report.
18:18Skate with me?
18:20I'm grounded by physics.
18:24Cheat.
18:36Did you feel?
18:38That's not supposed to happen.
18:40Nothing about you is supposed to happen.
18:442.
18:46It counts, Packer, when you're loved.
18:49Good night, Zoe.
18:59Some joker keeps stuffing extra tapes in the return slot.
19:02No labels, no cases.
19:04Fifth one this week.
19:11Who rented these?
19:13That's the thing.
19:14Nobody.
19:24Copies.
19:25Somebody's making copies.
19:27Copies.
19:33You sign your work now?
19:35My count was at 5, Zoe.
19:37You give it someone else to watch and your stop's moving.
19:39It's in the static.
19:40It tells you.
19:40It's so easy.
19:41They're 10 years old, Riri.
19:42Half this town's renters are 10 years old.
20:01I stopped.
20:02I stopped after the playground.
20:04I swear.
20:05Tell that to his mom.
20:08Oh, wait.
20:09She doesn't remember him.
20:17Guys, guys.
20:19While we eat ourselves, it went number one.
20:22Every radio.
20:23Every rink.
20:24Every wedding.
20:2640 million a day feeding it.
20:28We can't unplug America.
20:29Then we find its plug.
20:38No concert tonight?
20:41The song's for babies now.
20:47Since when?
20:49Since we watched the real thing.
20:51At Tommy's sleepover.
20:53The tape with the boy on it.
21:04We watched the whole thing.
21:06Even the part at the end with my name.
21:30Okay.
21:32You.
21:33I know you're listening.
21:34This house has six screens.
21:37Trade me.
21:38Whatever his count's at, move it to mine.
21:40Out of Inani, I'll finish anything you want.
21:42Just lose his number.
21:54That's so nice, Zoe.
21:58Take the deal.
21:59We counted you already.
22:01We counted him already.
22:04We'd rather have you both.
22:18Zoe, it's a producer from Rose After Dark.
22:21They want the 67 kids family on the Halloween special.
22:32Specifically, Spooky Sister.
22:38Spooky Sister.
22:49It's a trap.
22:50You know it's a trap.
22:51The man replays your warning for laughs and now he needs you in studio?
22:55Well, obviously it's a trap.
22:56So we're not going.
22:57We're absolutely going.
22:58Dev, the man books the whole country into one broadcast.
23:00He either knows nothing or everything.
23:03Both are worth the bus fee.
23:11The Spooky Sister.
23:13Love the flannel.
23:14Very authentic.
23:16You finished the tape on October 10th.
23:18That's 19 days.
23:19No but last 19 days.
23:20The polite ones get a month if they're boring.
23:22You're not boring.
23:26You want to know how a person ends up like me?
23:29Everybody does.
23:30Nobody asks.
23:371966.
23:38A kid in Dayton does a radio show every night into his dad's tape recorder.
23:41Weather, sports, dedications.
23:43You know how many listeners he had?
23:45Zero.
23:48One.
23:59It listened.
24:00Every night.
24:01It never tuned out.
24:02It never laughed at me.
24:03It never said,
24:04That's enough, Casey.
24:05Go to sleep.
24:07You ever been listened to like that?
24:08It's better than love.
24:09It's ratings.
24:14What does it cost?
24:15Nothing.
24:16I spread the sound.
24:17My count stays parked forever greenlit.
24:21Same deal's open to you.
24:22You and the kid brother walk.
24:24You just have to help me sing it
24:26to everyone else.
24:36Who's Milton Oates?
24:41Kids called him Uncle Milt.
25:02channel 67, local kids show 61 to 67, Haast vanishes on air mid-broadcast.
25:08At the count of six, the picture went to snow, and 17 children in that studio audience were
25:13never accounted for.
25:15We don't keep the clippings out anymore.
25:16They kept ending up by the photocopper.
25:27It's not a sample.
25:28It's the same recording.
25:29The single is the show.
25:31And I traced Uncle M's P.O. box.
25:33Box 67, Maple Falls post office, rented continuously since 1968.
25:37Paid yearly in cash.
25:38Somebody's still paying postage for a dead man.
25:3927 years of something keeping his box and his song alive.
25:54Hey, I know him!
26:00Lucas.
26:01Buddy.
26:03Where do you know him from?
26:04He counts me to sleep.
26:211967, accounting show is cancelled, one number short.
26:231994, the count comes back with a beat under it.
26:25The song didn't come to Maple Falls, it came from here.
26:28We're not victims, guys, we're the source.
26:30The final broadcast, I put 67.
26:31If recording exists, it shows whatever the copy is.
26:33And where do you find a tape that's been missing for 27 years?
26:38Where it was born.
27:04Zoe, it heard the meeting.
27:07It hears rooms with doesn't matter.
27:09It's moving the tape, tonight.
27:10Theo, slow down.
27:13And listen to me.
27:14Listen.
27:16You're counting.
27:19The clip show.
27:2140 million strangers watched me become a joke.
27:24It fell every one.
27:3612.
27:4012.
27:4112.
27:4412.
27:4612.
27:4712.
27:57six o'clock episode at six show ends at seven the counting hour six to seven
28:04it was never a name it was instructions
28:17they wrote to him they wanted to be counted there's thousands of these
28:2867 on the nose 66 for the audience and one for the count
28:37guys
28:44somebody beat us to the archive by decades or it ate its own reruns
29:04boys and girls they're telling us we have to say good night early tonight but we haven't counted
29:10we always count one two three four five
29:14six
29:30Will you help me finish, boys and girls?
29:42It's in the glass!
29:43Don't look at the glass!
29:45The doors are glass, Dev!
30:10Penny OS.
30:12Eyes down.
30:14Walk to my voice.
30:15Now.
30:23You're the Tisservo lady.
30:26And you're trespassing on a grave.
30:35You.
30:36The one that's loud around.
30:38When'd you finish the tape?
30:40October 10th.
30:4320 days.
30:44In 27 years, that's only ever happened to one other person, girl.
30:47And he wasn't lucky either.
30:50Who?
30:56The man whose name is still wet.
31:10I was ten.
31:12Front row every Saturday.
31:14You have to understand, he wasn't a monster on the show.
31:17He was the only one who looked at us.
31:24Lonely kids.
31:26Lonely kids.
31:27Lashkey kids.
31:28The tallymen saw everyone.
31:29And we'd put our little palms up.
31:33Milf was losing the slot.
31:35Ratings.
31:36So he found a way to make the show stick.
31:40He fed the puppet the only thing children have worth taking.
31:44Attention.
31:45Full Saturdays of it.
31:48And it worked.
31:49God help him.
31:50And help help him.
31:51It worked.
31:52Until the network pulled the plug.
31:54Mid count.
31:57Six.
32:03A counting thing that never reached seven.
32:05It's been finishing that count ever since.
32:07One child at a time.
32:08Seating them in the audience.
32:10Now you.
32:12It counts children to seven, girl.
32:1320 days past your number and walking around free.
32:16It is not seating you.
32:18Then what's it doing?
32:21It counted me to 66 before I shut my eyes.
32:24I think it's counting you to 67.
32:27It's not selling you a ticket, Zoe.
32:29It's casting you.
32:38Real one of the last broadcast.
32:4027 years in the dark.
32:43Real one?
32:55And real two?
32:56Stolen.
32:57Last Tuesday.
32:59Lock cut clean.
33:00Foil folded politely.
33:02There's exactly one man alive rich enough to want it and damned enough to know it exists.
33:08Rose?
33:11First rule of the original.
33:13It shows what the copies hide.
33:19Second rule.
33:20Nobody watches alone.
33:39That's a 1985 walk mat.
33:42That kid.
33:43Look at his shoes.
33:44Those are new.
33:45They're not gone.
33:47They're seated.
33:51Seated.
33:51Seated.
33:51Seated.
33:51Seated.
34:03He's been refusing it.
34:0867 days he's been refusing it.
34:37Casting real cursed kids regional editions.
34:45He's not booking a show.
34:47He's herding us into one.
34:54Riri Santos.
34:55Tell me you brought me Halloween gold.
34:58Better.
35:02The network's casting Maple Falls Kids for the special and I can deliver the 67 kids whole circle.
35:07Exclusive.
35:08One condition.
35:09I name the group.
35:10All of us.
35:10Together or nothing.
35:12Kid, you just made my career.
35:15Somebody should get one.
35:29Of course it is.
35:40Welcome, Countdown Club.
35:42Make yourselves at home.
35:43He is so excited.
35:46You're tonight's show.
35:48Knock, knock, palm.
35:50Knock, knock, palm.
35:52Palms.
35:54That's not choreography.
35:55That's lethargy.
35:58Keep him busy.
36:03Question.
36:04In the Unisee section, are we counting from the downbeat or from the knocks?
36:08Because rhythmically, those are very different philosophies?
36:36Hi, gorgeous.
36:38Gorgeous.
36:38Gorgeous.
36:40Gorgeous.
36:55I never signed anything.
36:59The date, Riri.
37:00The date.
37:01Passing is signing.
37:22You found my favorite episode.
37:26You stole it from a woman in a trailer.
37:31I preserved it.
37:33Everything ends up with me eventually.
37:35I'm syndication.
37:38What's the special, Casey?
37:4167 million people.
37:42Live.
37:43Counting in Uninin.
37:44It counts to seven and takes one kid.
37:46So what does it take when the whole country counts with it?
37:52You think I'm the priest of this thing?
37:54I'm the entree?
37:55Aren't you?
37:56Entree.
37:57The deal doesn't park your count, kid.
37:59It compoundates it.
38:00Every person I spread the sound to added to my tab.
38:0330 years of top ratings, though.
38:05Do my math.
38:0967 million.
38:15On Halloween, all debts come due.
38:17Every event pays at once.
38:18And I am the single largest serving of attention in the history of the human price.
38:24You wanted to know what I am.
38:26I'm the only man alive more scared than you.
38:28I am the only man alive.
38:41Then you're a vizcans.
38:46Theo, your seat is cold.
38:54Run, kid.
39:07The gate needs a badge.
39:09Mine's the only one that's real.
39:10Really?
39:11So badge us through and come on!
39:14It doesn't work like that.
39:15I signed, so...
39:17Tuesday they'd take me anyway,
39:19or Thursday,
39:20or on air with my mom watching.
39:23I rented it to four kids.
39:25Four.
39:26So this once,
39:27it doesn't get passed on.
39:28It stops at me.
39:28That's the whole apology.
39:29That's all I've got.
39:30Hurry.
39:32Make it count.
39:36God.
39:36Phrasing?
39:40October 30th, 1994.
39:43Riri Santos.
39:43Taking her seat.
39:56Before we left town,
39:57I pulled a video store return slot.
39:58Four more copies.
40:00Burned them behind the Orpheum.
40:02For her.
