All language subtitles for 7x04 Halloween

I'm toast. Mom found out I'm the one that broke the oven.

Oh, man, you're going down.

I know.

So, if you want me to take the fall for anything

it's five bucks a pop.

I'm in! The hole in the bathroom wall.

Me, too! Dad's camera.

All right, Dewey, you're off the hook.

You two!

You were supposed to wait till I got my money.

And after the autopsy of the victim

the coroner himself went completely

insane.

This is so cool.

This guy started this death tour

showing people all the places in town

where grisly murders took place.

He padded it with a couple of suicides

but come on, close enough.

Now, coming up on your left

the site where one of the most gruesome multiple murders

in the history of the state took place.

Look, if you dare

at this house of pure evil.

I can't believe we've been living here this whole time

and we didn't even know about the murders.

Man, I always assumed I'd do the coolest thing in this house

but that guy set the bar pretty high.

Come on, there were no murders here.

A guy bought a hearse, and then he realized

he had to cover his monthly payments

and so he made up this phony death tour.

It's the oldest trick in the book. Tell 'em, honey.

I got Jamie the cutest Halloween costume.

He's gonna be a little tiger.

Honey?

Oh, my God! It's true?

Hal, bad things happen all the time.

But nothing this bad.

Lois, can I talk to you for a moment?

You knew we were buying a death house

and you didn't tell me?

I didn't tell you because I knew you'd have this reaction.

Well, of course I'd have this reaction.

I don't like murder.

Maybe that's something you should know about me.

Hal, it's always something with you.

You passed on that one house

because you thought the doorbell sounded gay.

You can't have a perfect house.

It would be nice to have a murder-less one.

Well, you should just drop it

because there's nothing we can do about it.

Death and mold are two things you can expect to find

in any house, and we are not moving!

There's mold?

I cannot believe they called me in to work.

I requested Halloween off eight months ago

and suddenly Marybeth becomes a Wiccan

so she can take it as a religious holiday.

There will be more Halloweens

barring some tragic event.

But this is the good one, you know? There's such a tiny window

where the kids are still sweet and adorable

and you can dress them up however you want.

Every year after that, Halloween's just another trip

to the police station.

Life is unfair, Lois.

And, sometimes, it's cut horrifically short

with no warning whatsoever.

I think if I send Jamie out with the boys

I can catch up with them during my break.

I mean, I'll only be able to do a couple of houses with them..

Hal, what are you doing?

It's-It's time Jamie had a night light.

Why don't you put it over by his crib?

He wants it here!

It just doesn't make sense.

Why would you fake being sick on Halloween?

I'm not faking it. I feel like crap.

Must've gotten it from that death tour guy.

I thought his clammy handshake was just part of the act.

You've got to keep your immune system in shape, Malcolm.

Every once in a while, pick some gum off the seat

and chew it. Ounce of prevention, dude.

All right, you know the plan.

You two are taking Jamie.

No eggs, no stink bombs, no matches, no catapults

no Mace.

Fine.

No explosives.

Of course, not.

No water balloons, no spray paint, no gasoline

no shaving cream, no toilet paper.

Wouldn't even think of it.

No ladder, no compressor, no soup.

- You told her!
- I did not!

All right. I know your route.

I will catch up with you when I take my break

to see how adorable and safe Jamie is.

So, any idea when that might be?

You don't need to know when.

All you need to know is if you even think

about doing anything stupid, I will swoop down out of the sky

and land on you like a ton of bricks.

So, the usual.

Shouldn't you be in bed?

I got sick of lying there

so I thought I'd look on the Internet

for stuff about the murders.

I got police reports, crime photos

newspaper articles.

- There's a ton of stuff.
- Really?

The guy's name was Gareth Stringer.

Normal guy, Scout master, everybody loved him.

So, one day, out of nowhere, he comes home from work

and murders his entire family.

They say he lived here with five headless bodies

for a week before he finally killed himself.

For a whole week, huh?

That's where the wife's body was found.

He put all the tongues in a pile right there.

So, I guess that must have been skin wall.

And that was hair corner.

Over there were finger puppets?

Oh, finger puppets.

Wow, the really freaky stuff happened in the kitchen.

Oh, and in the bathroom and the bedrooms, too.

Malcolm, is there any place in this house

where bloody pieces of dismembered bodies weren't found?

Well

yes. Right there.

Right here?

That's where they all begged for mercy.

Thank you.

So, Craig, I understand the bandana and the eye patch

but why would a pirate have blood dripping out of his mouth?

Oh, I tried holding a dagger in my teeth.

I'll tell you, those pirates are a lot tougher

than they're depicted in the media.

Finally, break time.

I'm gonna go do a little trick-or-treating with Jamie.

Hey, hey, hey!

What are these?

I must've knocked those in my pocket accidentally.

No, I saw you put them in your pocket.

Craig, you saw him, too, didn't you?

Oh, sorry. The patch is over my good eye.

Well, I'm already into my break.

You handle this, Craig, so I can get going.

Sure, no problem.

Did you just wink at him?

- Oh, you were serious.
- Craig, he committed a crime.

Sure, that's one side of it.

But if he didn't steal from us

he'd just be stealing from somewhere else

and then we'd be losing a customer.

Do you want to be responsible for that?

Margie, will you take care of this?

What? It's Halloween.

I can't believe this.

We are talking about the law here!

We have a certain procedure we follow

when we catch a shoplifter because that's the law.

It's the only thing that keeps us from anarchy

and chaos and riots in the streets.

Oh, move it.

- Jackpot tonight.
- I know.

Five houses in a row that use the honor system?

That never happens!

You're our lucky charm, Jamie.

Now, listen, Jamie, candy is full of sugar

and it's terrible for you.

So, suck down as much as you can tonight

before Mom takes it away from you.

- Trick or treat!
- Trick or treat!

Sweet! No answer!

Now you get to experience the true spirit of Halloween, Jamie.

- Ready? 1, 2..
- Sorry for the delay.

- Getting used to my new hip.
- ...3!

Oh, no, you don't!

Run!

Damn it, Dewey!

'Trick or treat!'

Trick or treat.

An axe in the head? You think that's funny?

If you had a real axe in your head you wouldn't be laughing.

Except if you had an involuntary muscle spasm.

Does that sound like a good time?

I got this.

Nice costumes.

- Thank you! Happy Halloween!
- Thank you! Happy Halloween!

Dad, are you gonna be okay handing out candy?

Of course.

Because I should really try to get some rest.

Sure.

Dad? - I just wanted to make sure you were safe, Malcolm.

Okay.

Do you feel safe?

Dad, I know the murders were sick and creepy

but they happened 20 years ago.

And they don't bother you at all?

No.

I mean, the murderer's dead so it's not like he's coming back.

Right.

Right, I mean, that would be crazy.

Dad, you don't believe in ghosts, do you?

- Malcolm, please.
- Do you?

Do you mean do I believe in dead people

floating around, saying, "Ooooh!

Of course not.

But, I mean, an energy, a life force

a soul that, upon death, separates from the body

and inhabits another plane, crying out to the living

in a horrific wail of unbearable pain?

- Oh, absolutely.
- Dad..

You, yourself, told me that string theory says

there are 11 different dimensions occupying the same space.

- So?
- So, who's to say

we can't be affected by things we don't see?

What science calls wormholes

is actually matter and energy, a life force

mixed together in the cosmos. Don't you see that?

All of which points to one stubborn, undeniable fact

that we are living in a known portal for evil.

And now that we know it, and it knows we know it

of course it would come back to kill us!

And of course it would come back tonight!

You don't have much to say

when your science comes back at you, do you?

Honey?

Reese?

Dewey?

Burglar?

Was that or was that not the sound of someone

looking for his head?

But you said you'd send a patrol car 20 minutes ago!

Low priority?

It's still against the law to steal, isn't it?

Fine, fine. We'll be here.

Unbelievable.

I get one break from 7:00 to 7:20.

That break is now over!

Instead of spending it with my adorable little two-year-old son

I spend it with you!

Lady, I have six warrants for my arrest

and I'm supposed to feel sorry for you?

Lois, I've been thinking about it.

I just want you to know I'm sorry.

I believe in you and what you're doing here.

You're doing the right thing.

Are you drunk?

Chilty as garged.

Aren't you on the clock?

But it's a party, and they invited me

knowing full well that being wanted is my kryptonite.

Party? So, they're all drinking out there?

'Attention, Lucky Aide shoppers.'

'Who's gonna come up here and kiss me right now, damn it?'

Oh, my God! No one cares about the rules!

No one cares about law breakers!

Fine! Why am I the only sap?

Since it's complete anarchy, I am taking my meal break early.

That's right. I'm overlapping with Joan!

Look at that! I didn't even line it up right.

So, do I get to go now?

You think you've got some place more fun that this?

Go if you want.

But a bunch of chips and dip are about to get damaged

if you know what I mean.

We're gonna eat them.

You know, I think Halloween really agrees with Jamie.

He's standing up straighter.
And he didn't try to pee on that dog.

Is that the old guy from the egging?

No, that guy had glasses.

No, the first egging.

Oh, yeah.

I think he's chasing us.

Yeah, I guess he is.

So, we should try to get away.

Yeah, I guess we have no choice.

That was close.

Here you go. Some hot tea.

Are you warm enough? I can turn on the defroster.

I'm good, Dad. - I just want to make sure you're comfortable.

Well, you could have let me stay in the house.

No, no.

We're safe out here.

Isn't this nice?

Tell me what's going on in your life.

Got a special girl?

- Trick or treat!
- Oh, hey.

We're over here! Got candy in the car!

Kids love this holiday.

If they only knew.

Oh, there you are.

There you go.

Here you go. And here's..

Would you mind lifting up your mask?

Great! Just checking.

- Thanks.
- Thank you. Good night.

God, I hate when they want to talk about your costumes.

They know what we're here for. Just pay up, so we can go.

Hey, look at that!

The old guy's still after us.

You gotta admire it. I hope when I'm his age

I still have enough hate to do what he's doing.

Oh, there's my little tiger!

You are so adorable.

If you boys got him involved in anything bad, I will..

Mom, relax. We've just been very busy getting candy.

I'm sorry. I'm just so frazzled.

I almost didn't make it.

I wasted my whole break sitting with some shoplifter

and no one else even considered coming to help.

I mean, can you believe that? I'm the one who suffers

and they're the ones who were breaking all the rules.

You know, this one time, I accidentally accepted

a Canadian quarter, and they took it out of my paycheck

based on that day's exchange rate.

Yeah, so.. - And, you know that when they deposited that quarter

the rate was way, way lower.

Did I complain? No, because I'm a team player.

Mom! We've saved you the best stretch of houses.

- They're right around that corner.
- Really? Thank you.

Let's go, sweetie.

Who is that guy?

- Dad.
- I'm awake!

What are you doing? Get in the car.

It's okay. I have proof the murders never happened here.

Some of the police reports didn't seem right

so I went to the City Planning Office Web site.

Sometime after the murders, they split up a double lot

down the street, and that changed all the addresses.

Look.

That's the zoning map.

The murders weren't here.

All these articles are about the house next door.

Well, look at that.

That sucker! Do you know how much he paid for that house?

Have fun in hell, Peterson!

Let me see what he got himself into.

No, no, no. The pictures are really graphic, you shouldn't..

Wait a minute.

That's our wallpaper and

that's the counter.

Malcolm, their house doesn't look like this.

This is our house.

What is going on here?

Fine! I made it up because I'm sick of your insanity!

I dummied up a phony Web page to calm you down.

So, you were gonna let me think that I was safe?

I wasn't going to sit in the car with you all night! I'm sick!

- I was protecting you!
- From what, Dad?

From ghosts?

- Well, I say bring them on.
- No, no.

I hereby summon all ghosts and goblins.

- No, no, no, no.
- Come phantoms and specters

from the gates of Hell, thou art hereby invited.

He's kidding! That's the kind of language they respond to.

I challenge ye to prove me wrong.

Go ahead, rip the skin from our bones

and feast on our innards.

We are lambs for your slaughter.

Malcolm!

Swallow this house into the bowels of Hell!

'Trick or treat!'

Run! Run from this place and never return!

That guy was good.

Hey, you're right.

The candy you steal off other kids really does taste better.

I'm telling you. It's the fear.

Trick!

Come on. Admit it, geezer. You're not gonna catch us.

You're just too old and too slow.

Let's go, Dewey.

Wow, look at that.

Could it be any more perfect?

I'm stuck.

Me, too.

Boy, call me a prude, but these pictures of Mrs. Keyes

giving birth are not as sexy as I thought.

Well, that one's not bad.

Craig, I want to get some pictures of Jamie

in his costume, so why don't you give me a roll...

Hey, Lois! I didn't expect you back so soon.

Oh, nice! So now we're invading our customers' privacy.

Why don't you just open up the pharmacy files

- and see what's there?
- Been there, done that.

FYI, I wouldn't get too chummy with Mr. or Mrs. Sanders

for four to six weeks.

Excuse me, ma'am. Can I have a word with you?

Well, I'm glad to see you finally
found the time to show up, Officer

but our shoplifter is long gone.

I'm not here about a shoplifter.

- That's her!
- Mommy!

- Oh, Allison, are you okay?
- Yes.

Hands behind your back, ma'am.

What? This is wrong.

- You're making a mistake.
- Don't worry, Lois.

If you need a character witness at your trial, you got me.

Have you boys learned your lesson yet?

You stupid old man! I'll never learn my lesson.

I just want you to know I'm sorry.

A lot of things were said here and I know it got out of hand.

But I don't want you to take this personally.

I-It's okay. I was out of line, too.

I wasn't talking to you.

Anyway, Gareth, you should know..

- Dad..
- Malcolm, let me work with him.

No!

Dad, I know you're afraid

but you've gotta work through your fear.

Because it leads to this, and this is insanity.

I mean, okay, we live in a universe that we can't control

or understand and that can be frightening sometimes.

I have fears, too. But the only way we can get through our lives

is by tamping down those fears.

Because if we don't try to explain things rationally

the world stops making any sense at all.

Like that moan? We have to believe

there's a perfectly logical explanation for it.

We have to.

Or that.

It could mean whatever we want it to mean.

The important thing is..

That was Jamie, wasn't it?

It sure was. You okay, buddy?
