Some days, everything seems to go right.

More iced pizza?

More iced pizza? Oh, uh, no, thanks.

Things fall into place.

No rush, no complications.

Everything's the way you expect it.

Compliments of the chef.

Some

days

you can wake up late, get in a job before breakfast, save the nation from

economic ruin, and still be home before the bad weather hits.

Like I said, some days it all goes like magic. Good morning, Chicago, and happy

Halloween to everyone in the Whippy City.

Then, of course, there are the other days. I'm coming. All 364 of them.

What if you knew, beyond a doubt, what was going to happen tomorrow?

What would you do?

There is no easy answer for a guy who gets tomorrow's news today.

A little higher into your right.

Your other right.

Gotcha.

Good morning.

Hey, Gary.

What's this?

A Halloween gift. It showed up at my door.

What happened to our cat?

This is our cat.

I can smell him.

But he's black.

Yeah, well, so am I, but I'm still me.

Come here.

Okay, you want to tell me why the cat changed colors overnight then? I don't

know. Maybe he's bored.

I've been thinking about going red.

Why don't you put an earring in your nose, too?

Oh, that would be nose -ringing. You know, you should consider wanting to be

very sexy.

I knew this guy whose hair turned white overnight.

Fraternity brother. Found out his prom date wasn't who she said she was.

Who was she?

A he.

Yeah. But this probably isn't the same thing.

Probably not. I have a feeling this is going to be a very long Halloween.

Halloween in Chicago turned deadly last night as a score of children were felled

by what police described as a mass poisoning.

Victims, many of them still in trick -or -treat costumes, began arriving at

Northside hospitals shortly after 7 p .m.

By press time, hospital officials were unable to identify the exact source of

the poisoning, but believe it came from candy distributed somewhere in the

Northside district.

The identities of the three dead youngsters were withheld, pending

of relatives.

Reach for the sky, pilgrim.

It's me.

Henry, what do you think?

You wanted to go as Dennis Rodman, but I thought that was a little much.

Are you going to go with them?

No, I was voted out.

Nobody wants to be seen with their mom.

Patrick's coming with me.

He's got his own costume.

And a bike.

Right, Spike?

So you guys have become real pals, huh?

Mm -hmm.

This is going to be great.

I can't wait to get going.

Nobody's going anywhere.

What? That's what I said. He's not going anywhere tonight.

Good night.

Of course he is, honey.

Is his name Martha?

I'll treat myself.

Thank you.

Gary, what's going on? It's right here in black and white.

I prefer the spoken version.

Some kids are going to die of poison candy.

When does it happen?

Tonight at 7 o 'clock. Why can't anything ever be easy?

7 o 'clock, that gives you some time.

It doesn't give me any time. There's nothing in here. There's no names,

no addresses, nothing. So?

So I...

Well, so I'm thinking about calling the police.

And what are you going to tell them?

Cancel Halloween?

It's not going to work, is it? Not even a Grinch gets till Christmas.

Halloween means a lot to kids all over the city, Gary.

You can't just tell them it's off.

No, I can't.

But somebody can.

Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. Call off Halloween?

You're kidding me.

Not exactly.

Poison candy?

Where'd you come up with that?

I can't really say. What kind of candy?

What kind of poison?

And you want me to take that to the mayor?

Well, I know he can't call off Halloween. Maybe he can take measures

issuing a warning to parents in stores. Oh, that would make his honor very

popular. Do you know how much business gets done on Halloween? And those people

vote. You're not doing this yourself, are you?

Look, lady, would I come to you if I was?

Good point.

Besides, you don't look the type. But believe me, Halloween brings them out,

especially if there's a full moon.

We got wackos showing up by the fistful.

Flying saucers, poltergeists. What's this?

Two of two. They came in asking if we had a directory of warlocks.

I rested my case. Look, I'm not a wacko. It's just that I'm... It's just that

you what?

I really ought to be going now.

Natch.

i'm saving the world believe me i know what that's like your work's cut out for

you pal

Anybody home?

Hello?

Some restoration.

Yeah.

Hey.

Sorry, I thought you were someone else.

Who what?

We've captured our warlock.

Me?

Who are you two?

Gwyneth, Toby, and you're under our spell.

You have to tell me that you two here are... Witches.

Oh, boy, happy Halloween.

Look, you can't actually tell me you believe you're witches.

He doesn't believe us. They never do.

Warlocks are so predictable.

Look, I'm not a warlock.

That's what they all think.

Kind of cute for a warlock. Don't dart.

Anyway, now we've got you.

What do you mean you've got me? Well, you're under our spell. Garlic and

chicken's feet, and you can't move from that circle.

They didn't have chicken's feet. I got turkey.

Linus, can't you do anything right?

Wait. Hey.

Excuse me. That's our spell pot.

Let me tell you something about your spell pot. The fire underneath it was

to burn this house down and take the whole neighborhood with it.

How did you know that?

About the fire?

I just did.

Well, that proves it. He's a warlock.

And he's cute.

Goodbye, ladies. And next time, be a little bit more careful, would you?

Wait!

More luck! Come back!

What do you mean, next time? What about this time?

You're going to help us, aren't you? Help you with what? The spell, getting

sister back.

Your sister? We lost her.

Well, then call the police. I'm busy, lady. Oh, no, the police can't help. We

need you to find her.

Well, how long has your sister been missing?

About 200 years.

Give or take a few months.

We try every year to rescue her, but something always seems to muck it all

I'm leaving.

Look,

it's Halloween.

I know that, but you really don't think you're witches, do you?

Explain this. If we're not witches, how did we get you here?

Goodbye, lady.

Come on, give me something, would you?

Poisoned candy?

You out of your mind?

That would be against company policy.

Definitely.

Run this by me again. You want me to take all my candy off my shelves on

Halloween. Well... Mac, Halloween is what they invented candy for.

How about just the chocolate?

Don't come back until after Christmas.

One of them days, huh?

Yeah, one of them days.

Good morning.

Morning, ma 'am. I need two dozen apples, but they have to be fresh.

Making something special?

Halloween treats.

Oh, then I got just the thing for you.

You sure they're fresh?

Close as you can get.

I picked them off the truck at the market early this morning.

Little trick.

I always get there first.

Look. One extra.

Hey, pal.

You want an apple? Might make your day.

No, thanks. Not this one.

Looks like you get the whole bag.

What do you think?

I don't think Halloween is meant for dogs.

Are you sure he's happy?

Mm -hmm.

Because he's coming with us.

He's bucking his faithful horse.

Hmm? Hey, Animo.

You try getting a candy store to shut down on Halloween, it's like banning

flowers on Mother's Day.

I'm out of options.

Well, you can't be.

You know that.

I mean, the paper usually gives you something to go on. Yeah, I already went

through it, cover to cover, six times.

Well, they say seven's a lucky number.

Oh, Mr. Hobson, there's someone here to see you.

Who? I don't know, but they seem to think that your name is Warwick or

something. Warwick?

Over there.

How'd you two find me?

Trade secret.

Trade secret. How would you swoop down on your brooms, did you?

Car. It's too cold for broomsticks. The wind blows up your skirt.

The fact is, we've come to do business.

Oh, I'm not interested.

Oh, what kind of business?

We're prepared to pay for his services.

Um, what kind of... Patrick, don't you have something to do behind the bar? Oh,

okay, sure.

Listen, I am very busy right now, so why don't you go find your warlock

somewhere else, huh?

Please.

It wouldn't take much for you to help us.

And we'd be forever grateful.

Well, what would I have to do?

All you'd have to do is give us a lock of your hair.

A lock of my hair? That's all I have to do, give you a lock of my hair and

that's it?

That's it.

Plus, you have to eat a live toad. You had to tell him, didn't you? You

wait until later. All he does with his thumb won't work. You know what? You two

are nuts. You ought to be locked up.

Don't you get it? That is exactly what happened to our sister, which is why we

have to get her back, which is why you have to help us.

Pretty, please.

I want the two dozen goldfish at a wrap party, if that's going to help.

Never mind. We're finished here. We'll be going.

I said we'll be going. Goodbye, sir. Come, Gwyneth.

I... I... Gwyneth!

Come!

So.

Those have been pretty interesting friends you got there.

I don't get it. What can we do without a warlock? Don't worry. He'll come to us.

We're going to cast another spell?

Nope. We've got something better.

We've got his cat!

That's kind of strange, wasn't it?

What's strange?

Gary's friends.

Oh, well, I wouldn't exactly call them friends.

Well, what would you call him?

Well, you know Gary, he's a nice guy. He meets a lot of people.

Where?

What do you mean?

Where does he meet all these people? I mean, where does Gary go all day? He's

always gone.

Well, he's not... Always gone. I mean, he's here a lot.

He helps run the place. Come on.

Does he have a second job?

A second job?

Yeah, something he's embarrassed about. Like, does he do bachelorette parties?

Gary.

Yeah, our Gary.

Yeah. That's funny.

Our Gary's a little secretive, Marissa.

Maybe you don't see it.

Because you just don't see it, but...

He's always coming from somewhere, and he's always going somewhere. He's always

in a rush.

He's always got a lot of errands, that's all.

Yeah, I noticed that.

But I'm a single mom working a 12 -hour shift, raising an 8 -year -old kid, and

I don't have half as many errands as he does.

You know, he likes to micromanage, that's all.

What does that mean?

He likes to have his hands in everything.

He's not very good at delegating.

Delegating? Yeah.

Delegating what?

I mean, we do the books, we do the ordering, we do the billing, we serve

customers, we clean the glasses, we open the place and we close the place.

Right.

And Gary does the rest.

Are you ready?

I'm ready.

Are you sure?

Let's go already.

You're sitting down, right?

Thanks, Rick.

I just want to be sure you're prepared because this is going to rock your

little guy.

I am not a crook.

Where are you supposed to be?

What do you mean, who am I supposed to be? I'm Nixon.

Nick who?

You mean you don't know who Richard Nixon is?

No, who is he?

Oh, he was in a movie by Oliver Stone.

I thought you were going to be Pup Daddy.

Oh, no, it didn't work out. Don't worry, dude.

We've got options.

Ready? Ready.

Ha, ha, ha!

I steal candy from the rich and I give it to the poor!

Ha, ha, ha!

This is Robin Hood, get it?

What? A type.

Ah, point taken.

Hey, don't worry, my frat brothers love this next one.

She quit.

She did? Ginger, when?

It was all over TV.

Oh.

Man, why am I always the last one to know about these things?

Come on, Patrick.

We're running out of time.

Mom's not going to let me go out by myself.

Okay, all right. I've got one costume left.

What is it?

Oh, you are going to love this one.

Uh -huh. No, no, really. This one rules. Trust me.

Okay. Well, put it on. Let's see.

Uh, well, okay, well, here's the problem. I don't exactly, you know, have

costume.

Where is it?

Old girlfriend's house.

Can you get it, please?

I'll do what I can.

Girl power.

You don't, uh...

Cat,

you around here?

Cat?

He's supposed to be around.

He's a cat.

Over to you, Patricia.

Well, Jack, shadows are lengthening, which means kids all over the city are

putting on their Halloween costumes.

All righty. What are you most looking forward to tonight?

All the candy.

And what about you, kids?

Candy!

And back to you, Jack.

I have four hours and I got not a damn thing to go on.

I already looked at every word and there's nothing about candy.

Fine.

Fine, what do you want me to read? The Owning Board approves new library and

apples recalled from fruit exchange. What am I supposed to...

The FDA this morning confiscated truckloads of apples believed to have

accidentally sprayed with poisonous chemicals.

Hey, Gary.

I got it. What?

I found it. Only it isn't.

Isn't? Listen, I need you to don't let Henry go anywhere until after you've

heard from me, all right?

Okay.

Special treat.

It's my own recipe.

Don't be silly.

Children will love these.

And they're so healthy, too.

I knew this day was going to come.

Leanne the sequel.

Be a man, Patrick. Be a man.

Be a man.

Hi, Leanne. It's Patrick.

Patrick Quinn?

Hello?

Can't say that I blame her.

Leanne, don't hang up on me, please.

No, this is important, okay? Please, listen to me, listen to me.

First of all, I just, I want to say that I'm, I'm sorry about that night.

Yes, I remember that I went out for ice cream, and, and, well, no, I was going

to come back, but I, you know, bumped into some old friends, and, well, you

how that goes, and, well, yes, I, I know that we were, we were living together,

and, well, you know, yes, but, you know, time just got away from me, and how

long has it been now?

Oh, three years, really? Huh.

So, how you been?

Hello?

Leanne, here it is, okay? No, I left something over at your apartment.

No, no, this is not about us. No, it's about, um... It's about a boy and his

dream, you know?

Uh, no, not me. Not that dream.

The immersion therapy worked.

No, this is about an eight -year -old boy who happens to be a friend of mine.

And all he wants to do is go trick -or -treating with me on Halloween.

So, yeah, the costume.

Yeah, that's all I wanted.

Oh, okay, great. I'll come over and pick it up. Thanks.

Leanne, you doing anything tomorrow?

Sorry, Mac, you're barking up the wrong tree. Those apples were all recalled.

You're sure about that?

Are you kidding me? The FDA guys were here at 5 a .m., flashing badges all

screaming all over the place.

They kept mentioning something about dioxin or something.

Nitrogen. That's what I said.

Got mixed up in a chemical plant and it was sprayed on some fruit.

You know, they said one whiff of that stuff would kill a horse. You know, I'm

not really worried about horses.

Yeah, well, lucky for us, they came and got it and took it away.

The whole truckload. Charlie, let's close it up.

But look, is there any way that one of those cases, that they might have been

overlooked? Not a chance, man. The fruit never got off the truck, okay?

What if it had?

Why are you so interested in this?

You might just say I'm a concerned citizen.

You're a reporter, aren't you? Looking to stir things up.

No, look, I just told you I'm... Concerned citizen, right. Well, listen,

Citizen, I've seen 60 Minutes, so that's all you're getting out of me. You want

to know more?

Read tomorrow's newspaper.

I got a surprise for you, buddy.

Mr. Wait.

I heard what you were saying about the apples.

The boss said nothing came off the truck. That is true, but... Well,

this one guy. Comes in early in the morning, 4 .30.

I've seen him around here for years. Every once in a while, I do him a favor.

let him on the trucks before. You don't by chance know this guy's name, do you?

That's the thing. I don't.

But he has a small stand somewhere in the city. North side, I believe. Other

than that, I... I picked him off the truck at the market early this morning.

Little trick.

I always get there fertile.

Look, one extra.

Hey, pal.

Hey, pal.

Are you listening?

That's it.

He sold the woman the apples.

I find her, I find them.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

Patrick, are you coming out or not?

Just a minute more.

What's he doing in there?

He's putting on a costume.

He's been in there for half an hour.

Well, now he understands what we women go through.

Here I come!

Is that you?

Yep.

Holy monster vision.

What's he supposed to be?

You got me.

I'm the thing!

You know, from the old movie? The guy from Mars?

Where did you get this?

At a frat party six years ago. My girlfriend made it for me.

She must have really cared about you.

Kind of stuffy in there, plus which I think I put on a few pounds.

Mom, can we get started now?

Uh, now?

Yeah. It might be better if you waited.

Why? Because I haven't heard from Gary.

So? So, maybe he just wants to see you, that's all.

He's already seen me.

But he hasn't seen Patrick.

So, just wait a few more minutes, okay?

Well, okay.

Okay. Gary,

where are you?

Tomorrow's too late.

Mister, you okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Yeah, I just need some help at all.

Not yet.

Just a little while longer.

Come on.

Warlock!

Get away from me.

Stop! Go away. I don't have time for you right now. You will when you hear what

we have to say.

We've got your cat.

Keep him.

Did he just say keep him?

What kind of louse says that about his own cat?

business. You'll never see this cat again.

Oh, I doubt that.

We'll turn him into a newt. Good luck.

I knew this wouldn't work.

Mom, it's after six o 'clock and it's getting dark out. Don't we go now?

He's right, Marissa. He's been waiting all day for this. Are you sure Gary's

going to be here?

I'm not sure.

Is there something wrong?

No, nothing's wrong.

Are you sure you want him to go out in the dark?

Who, brother?

Well, he's going to be with Patrick and Spike.

Spike, you wouldn't let anything happen to your little buddy, would you?

To tell you the truth, if we don't get going, I'm going to melt in here.

I guess he'd have called.

Okay.

Promise me one thing.

You won't have any candy until you get home.

Promise?

Okay. Anything to get out of here. Sorry, Spike.

Hey!

Hold it right there, buster! You two are dangerous. You're going to kill

somebody. Get in the van!

For the last time, I'm telling you, I'm not a warlock, all right? You know what?

You take care of him, Spike.

Take care of him, okay? Have fun.

Did you just cast a spell?

Yeah. The mace works better.

So, uh, where do we start, big guy?

How about the north side?

I do hope someone comes soon.

Yeah, didn't hurt a bit, did it?

And they say witches are mean.

You're not witches.

Why do you keep saying that? Do we insult you?

No, you don't insult me. You amaze me and then you handcuff me and you kidnap

me. Where are your little chicken feet, huh?

Changing times, changing ways.

Voila!

Isn't this fun?

Listen, now listen, I gotta get out of here. In less than an hour, something

terrible's gonna happen. If I'm not there, you... Fine.

Fine, fine.

You can go. Really?

I can't.

We're done with you.

And if you eat this toad.

Hurry up.

Everybody's getting ahead of us. I'm going as fast as I can. You know, this

costume is starting to get really itchy.

Next Halloween, I'm going dressed up as myself.

Next Halloween, I'm bringing my mom.

Hey.

Okay, which way?

That's where all the other kids are going.

Okay, then we should definitely go that way. Beat them to all the good stuff.

Think? Oh, absolutely.

Spike, are you coming or not?

Hey, that's a great costume.

What costume?

Oh, I'm sorry.

What was that all about?

Nothing. It's been a long day.

You all right? You seem kind of blue.

Well, I guess I am a little bit.

This is the first Halloween that Henry's gone trick -or -treating without me.

Ah.

Well, I could get someone to cover for you if you want to catch up with him.

thanks. It's all right.

You know, he's just eight years old and doesn't want to be seen with his mom for

fear that he might run into someone.

Not cool, I guess.

Yeah, I guess I remember that.

Next thing you know, he's going to want the keys to the car.

They do grow up.

They're going to be okay out there, right?

Of course they are.

I'm just glad we have someone to keep Patrick out of trouble.

Thanks.

Anytime.

Open wide.

Come on. Want me to play choo -choo?

I'm not going to eat that frog. It's not a frog. It's a toad. Wait a minute. It

is a toad, isn't it? It's a toad. But that's what you said about the chicken

feet. You never let up, do you? Look, I'm telling you, I've got to get some.

There's some kids' lives here. Oh, come on. You expect us to believe that?

Warlocks are notorious liars. Haven't you read that?

And we have to find our sister.

Okay, I'll eat the frog.

Toad. That's the spirit.

Oh, wait.

Wait. There's something wrong.

It's...

I'm doing what it's supposed to do. What's it supposed to do? You know,

bubble, you know the thing?

I stirred.

I stirred 13 times.

You counted? Of course I counted.

Okay, come on, give me the frog.

Toad! Wait!

You know what I think?

I think we've been tricked.

I think he's not a warlock at all.

Oh, you're right, I'm not a warlock, so why don't you let me out of here, huh?

We can't. You're not one of us, you might tell someone.

I won't tell anyone. I promise I won't tell anyone.

That's what they said in Salem.

You know what? We're going to have to lock him in the cellar at least until

after tonight. No, no, no, no.

Can I be the jailer? Will you stop? It's always the same thing with you, isn't

it? It doesn't matter if he's cute. We have a mission. I like him. We have to

deal with the warlock situation.

No, you always do. Wait, wait, wait. Let me ask you this. Let me ask you this.

If I wasn't a warlock, you can't let me go. But if I was a warlock... We'd have

to let you go. What did you tell him that for? Well, it's true. The spell

work. Now we can't do it again until next year.

However, the fact remains...

You're not a warlock.

Cat! Come on, please, give me a hand here, will you?

Well?

Trick or treat!

Well, aren't you the fancy one? And your dog...

You're my very first visitors tonight.

And look what I have.

Apples.

You don't like candy apples?

No. I love apples.

I made these myself.

Cool.

Like.

Aren't you going to taste it?

Good night.

Thank you. Good night.

Apple. What? Apple.

Can't win well, dude.

So, where exactly are we going again?

Somewhere around here.

Turn here.

Where'd you learn how to drive?

Never did.

They didn't have cars when we were growing up.

Why are you in such a big hurry?

Because you wouldn't elicit me too busy looking for a sister that dropped dead

200 years ago. Okay, she didn't drop dead. She was hanged.

I'm sorry, I asked.

This is hopeless. How am I supposed to find a little old lady in a city?

1346 Marvin Avenue.

Huh? That's where she is. It just came to me. Oh, please.

Well, it did.

Witches are not psychics.

You'd never believe me. No one ever believed me. Ever since we were little

wicked, it was always Toby this, Toby that, and then after Elizabeth got

up... Turn here. You know what? I got two words for you. Turkey feet.

Turn here.

40, 13, 42.

That's it.

Here you go.

Hey. Hey.

Oh, give me these. What? Give me these. Excuse me. They're poison.

What? Oh, you must be mistaken. I made these myself.

It's not your fault, ma 'am. It was an accident, but these apples, they were

sprayed with poison.

My. How many of these have you given out?

Oh, just these.

And one to that little boy who was here a few minutes ago.

What little boy?

I think he went that way.

A cowboy.

And he had somebody with him, a tall man in a silly costume.

And a dog.

Get rid of those apples. Oh, I will.

Thank you, whoever you are.

Close the door, close the door.

Come on, Patrick.

Don't put that on me now. All right, kiddo, it must be 200 degrees in here.

We've still got, like, a lot more houses.

We're just taking a little break, okay?

I don't want to go.

Hold your horses. You know, have some candy.

I can't. I promised Marissa. Oh, yeah.

How about that apple? That's not candy exactly.

You think?

Oh, yeah, I do. If you don't tell anybody, I won't.

Okay.

Come on, not

you too.

Spike, Spike. Hey, buddy, calm down.

Just an apple.

Nothing to be afraid of.

Here, I'll show you.

I'm Dr.

Parker. That poison he ingested is pretty lethal. I don't hold out much

Then he's still alive.

Yeah, but... There's still hope if he's alive.

Well, technically, but... He's been with me for three years.

If I want to have faith, I'm not going to let you stop me.

May I see him?

I'll bring you to him.

How's Henry?

Well, he's pretty broken up.

Is it true about the...

Save Henry's life.

Come on.

Excuse me, Mr. Hobson.

We sort of feel that this is our fault.

Now look.

We know you're not a warlock.

What makes you say that?

If you were, you wouldn't be standing here. You'd be saving that dog.

It's just a poison apple. One simple spell.

That's enough.

We're just trying to help.

You're trying to help, huh? You burn down houses and you kidnap people and

eat frogs.

Toads.

Just look, if you really want to help, why don't you just go?

Do you really mean that?

Oh, from the bottom of my heart.

Oh, just one more thing.

The dog's name again?

Spike. Why?

No reason.

It's my fault, isn't it?

Look, it's not your fault. It's my fault. I shouldn't have let you go out.

nobody's fault.

Spike was brought up to help people.

He helped me.

He saved your life, Henry.

No one's to blame.

Mike's too good for that.

He's too good for that.

Mike?

He's moving.

Doctor?

Doctor?

Easy, fella.

Is he happening?

I've never seen anything like this.

He was as close to going as you could get.

It's not possible.

I don't know.

You don't have to.

It's happening.

Mike, you're back.

You're back.

Never too late for a miracle, Henry.

It's never too late.

Well, whatever it is, it's magic.

Help you?

You live in the neighborhood?

Live up the street.

I was just trying to get in.

Oh, it's not open to the public. Hasn't been for years.

Is there something I can help you with?

There are a couple girls here. Fisters, Toby and... Gwyneth.

Yeah, well, then they live here.

Well, in a matter of speaking, they did live here some time ago. But there was a

third sister, too, but she died.

You know what? I've heard enough. Thank you very much. It's a good story. I'm

sure it is, but I've heard enough. Thank you.

Some people said they were witches.

Let's get out of here.

Miracle, magic, who knows?

There are some mysteries you won't read about in the paper.

Today or tomorrow.

And watch out for Jerry Springer in tomorrow's episode.
