[ISAIAH] Good morning, Nora.
My favorite person. How are you?
Good morning, gentlemen. I'm good.
Good. Hey, I want a bacon burrito
and one of your special waffle thing.
[JAMES] I'll get a waffle thing.
And then also whatever your
most colorful cereal is.
- [ISAIAH] Me too.
- Guys! The credit card machine
is down. Cash only today.
You do realize we're living
in a cashless society, right?
- I do, I do.
- [ISAIAH] So, just to clarify,
does that mean no food?
Because we're starving.
- Knock yourselves out.
- Saltines?
[JAMES] I didn't realize
people actually ate these.
Yeah, I thought they were
something that came free with soup.
Uh-huh. They are.
Bro. They're not bad.
- That's all you, bro.
- [LUCAS] Watch your backs!

Damn it! I said stop doing that!
- Are you okay?
- [LUCAS] It's all right, Mom.
It's just my head this time.
- [NORA] Oh, God, it's just your head?
- I get really nervous around him.
Bro, how is this man still alive?

Port Lawrence High! How y'all doing?
[STUDENTS CHEERING]
Hey, honey.
- Dad
- Oh, sorry. [CLEARS THROAT]
I forgot we're at school.
You're not my daughter.
- Hello, Margot.
- Hello.
Did you bring a book to a pep rally?
This is my way of hiding that
I have zero school spirit.
Is it working?
No. No, it's not.
Now listen, this is our year!
Titans, this is our time!
You think the glory days are behind us?
Oh, no. They right
there at our fingertips.
Now, I need y'all to hold up your
glory fingertips and wave 'em!

- Now, Port Lawrence High,
I need y'all to know
that I love this town!
And Port Lawrence
High, I love this game!

Uh-oh, I got a little problem here.
No, no, James.
- [JAMES] Yeah, Titan!
- [COLIN] No humping the air,
we talked about this!
I'm humping us to victory!
[COLIN] No, that's not a thing!
God, football players suck, huh?
That Um, that was, like,
insensitive, I'm sorry.
No one actually sucks.
Everyone's got their stuff.
No one sucks? You You stand by that?
- I don't know.
- So like, Jeffrey Dahmer,
like, he's a cool dude?
No, no, no, he's not.
Or like Andrew Johnson, he's a chiller?
[SCOFFS] I don't know who
that is, but I gotta trust you.

[STUDENTS CHEERING]
- Hey, thanks, Susan!
- It's Isabella.
[ISAIAH] I love y'all!
I don't know about you,
but that felt really good.
- What did I say?
- You know? Bro, I'm not even
nervous for Friday night.
- I got it.
- Wait. It's Sam.
- Be cool.
- What does that mean, "Be cool"?
Bro, give me more specific instructions.
'Sup?
'Sup?
'Sup?
- What the hell was that?
- Well, I don't know.
I thought we were just
saying hi to each other.
No, that was a very delicate moment.
We were like a solid five steps away
from something substantial I
can tell my therapist about.
Well, you didn't give
me any direction, man.
- [ALLISON] Hey, babe.
- Like a Oh, hi.
[SIGHS] James still
hasn't asked Sam out.
Okay, what is taking you so long?
- Why are you all up in my business?
- Um, because we love you.
- Uh, boredom.
- [ALLISON AND ISAIAH LAUGH]
Oh, not again!
What's wrong?
Hey, y'all! Halloween party,
my house, tomorrow night.
Come dressed to impress.
- You be there or be
- [PIG SQUEALING]
Is that a pig squealing?
Yeah, the person that's
trolling me altered the invite.
- How bad is it?
- Thousand views this morning.
A thousand?
Look, a thousand views is not that bad.
A thousand views is
like everyone you know
times, like, five.
It could be the same person
watching it a thousand times, all right?
- Unlikely.
- [ISAIAH] Hmm?
So likely.
Okay, well, it's just so annoying,
'cause it's clearly
someone at this school.
But I'm not mean to anyone.
I'm literally super nice.
- So why am I being trolled?
- I know, right?
By the way, is Sam coming to your party?
Really? Just gonna turn
the conversation back to you?
Yes, Allison. People do crazy
things when they're in love.
- I sound like a pig!
- Isaiah,
can I, uh, quick word?
Yeah. Okay.
See ya later. [GRUNTS] Get outta here.
- [ISAIAH LAUGHS]
- [ALLISON] This is frustrating.
[ISAIAH] What's up, Mr. Stokes?
[COLIN] All right, Isaiah, there he is.
- Have a seat. I'm great, I'm great, thank you.
- How are you?
Hey, amazing game last
week. You were on fire.
Hey, thank you, man.
I don't want to be a bummer here.
Somehow, you landed
on academic probation
and you can't play
in the game on Friday.
[CHUCKLES IN DISBELIEF]
Sorry.
- Wait, what?
- [COLIN] Yeah.
Well, no.
Sir, I'm gonna have to play.
There are gonna be scouts at that game.
Look, calm down, okay?
I already talked to Miss Dowling,
and she said all you have to do
is get an A on the big
history test tomorrow,
she'll take you off
probation, no problem.
There's a history test tomorrow?
[LAUGHS] You're hilarious.
That's why everybody likes you.
Yes, there's a big history test
tomorrow and you gotta kill it.
Okay? We're all counting
on you, get that A.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
Then I'll be able to
cheer for you at the game.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
[SCREW SQUEAKING]
- Boo!
- [BEN SCREAMS] Oh!
- Oh, my God! I'm so sorry.
- [BEN] Oh, crap!
Sorry. That backfired.
- I didn't Sorry.
- [BEN GROANING]
You all right?
Who Who are you?
I'm Nathan Bratt. I'm the new owner.
Ben Howard. Nice to
finally meet you in person.
Ah, yes.
Sorry this is taking so long.
Oh, no, are you kidding?
This place has been sitting
empty for 30 years, so I get it.
We're not doing much more
than getting the basics working.
Great, that's all I need,
as long as you make it livable.
This is a huge upgrade for me.
[CHUCKLES] Believe me.
So, uh, you inherited the house?
Yeah, yeah. Turns out, I'm
the closest living relative.
I know, that's what I said. [CHUCKLES]
Never thought I'd be a
homeowner on my salary,
especially a home like this, ya know?
I mean, this is
I love all these, creatures.
I think I saw a yak
over there. [CHUCKLES]
It's wild.
- Where's that go?
- Basement.
You heard what happened
down there, right?
Oh, yeah. It's awful. It's terrible.
The lawyer filled me in on it.
You know, she said that the parents
disappeared after the kid died.
So you know what that means.
What?
Parents did it, obviously.
It's always the parents,
right? [CHUCKLES]
I'm gonna go check it out now.
Well, the door is stuck.
Yeah, it won't budge.
I mean, even if I were
able to get it to move,
there's probably so
much damage down there,
I couldn't bring it up to code.
I mean, it's best you just let me
panel over the whole thing
and make it like it's not even here.
Aw, man!
I at least want to see
what's down there first.
Come on. Mind if I
- It's your house.
- Yeah, okay. Yes.
Oh, that is tough. [GRUNTS]
[GROANS] Son of bitch! That was dumb.
- That was really dumb.
- Yeah, that was dumb.
- Don't touch it. Oh, my God.
- You're gonna need stitches.
Really? You think?
- I'll drive you.
- Oh, man!
I gotta keep it above my head.
[BEN] Yep.
[OMINOUS MUSIC]
[LATCH CLICKS]
[BEN] I've put in three weeks
at that creepy-ass Biddle house.
That's worth some luxuries, right?
A 12-pack, those cupcakes
you like with the stripes?
We already talked about all of this.
Everything extra goes into the 529.
We can't be certain that
he's going to get a full ride.
Come on, Laura, you've
seen that kid play.
- It's a sure thing.
- So I'm just stupid?
Is that right? We should just
spend like there's no contingency?
- I didn't say that.
- I believe in Isaiah
as much as you do, Ben,
but you can't hang the future
of this family on your son.
- We're sitting here talking 'bout
- Ben! Ben.
[BEN SIGHS]
Hey.
How was practice? You
feeling good about Friday?
Yeah. Yeah, great.

eight anymore. And I'm fine.
No, you're not. You're
doing your Isaiah face.
And what's my Isaiah face?
You know, the
"I'm Isaiah, and everything is cool
because I'm cool, cool, cool."
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
I could hear them from my window.
It's really not fair to you how much
they have riding on
your football career.
It doesn't matter. Can't play anyway.
What are you talking about?
If I don't get an A on
tomorrow's history test,
I sit out the game.
And then I'm no good to anybody.
Football's all I got.
Hey, football isn't all you've got.
You are excellent at eating hot dogs.
And you've got a shoebox
full of Pokémon cards
that you really should've
gotten rid of by now.
And when you sing in the shower,
you are not afraid to let
the entire neighborhood know
- that you are tone deaf.
- [LAUGHS]
Yeah, I'm being serious, Margot.
Hey, this is not a big deal.
All you have to do is
get an A on the next test.
So, how much of the
Constitution have you read?
Well, I listened to most of Hamilton.
Not the Constitution.
Okay, well, what if you help me?
Like study?
- That could be fun, yes!
- No, nerd.
Like, show me your answers.
You mean you want me to help you cheat?
I mean, you can call
it whatever you want.
I just did. It's cheating.
- Please, Margot. Please!
- I don't wanna do that!

Oh, my God, I'm definitely
gonna journal about this tonight.
Please don't put our crime in writing.
- Right.
- Hey, by the way,
how do you think we did?
Come on. An A, of course.
You're playing that game.
[CHUCKLES] Thank you, Margot.
Hey, how 'bout after school today
[ALLISON] I'm screwed!
- Hi.
- What's wrong?
Okay, so, that troll
sent the invite to my parents,
tagged, DM'd, and emailed them.
- [ISAIAH] Word?
- Yeah, like who does that?
Who hates me that much?
My mom made me delete the post.
I'm gonna have to cancel the party.
Uh, no, you don't.
You just need a new venue. Come on.

- Hate is Hate is a strong
- [ISAIAH] Forget about it!
Happy now?
Honestly? No, that was comedy gold.
[CHUCKLES]
Hey, where did that kid die again?
[ISAIAH] He died in the basement.
Caught on fire, and
he got trapped inside.
[JAMES] Like my bagel this morning.
- Exactly.
- Okay, um, what if this place
is, like, actually haunted?
Then it is the perfect
party house on Halloween.

- Margot?
- [ALLISON] What are you doing here?
I was invited.
By who?
- [MARGOT CLEARS THROAT]
- Oh, me.
Me, yeah, I'm the one
who invited Margot.
I mean, everyone was invited, right?
[JAMES WHISPERS] You're crushing this.
So, I thought the party started at 8:00.
- Where is everyone?
- Everyone normally shows up an hour late.
They usually all know that.
Um, sorry if it wasn't
more clear on your invite.
Is that politeness or condescension?
[LAUGHS] You're funny.
Uh, look, can we just
get the lights back on?
- Yep.
- Cool. Who's gonna go down there with me?
- No way.
- [MARGOT] I'll go with you.
Uh, no.
Uh, look, you stay, okay?
And James is gonna go with me.
- No, James is staying up here, too.
- For real?
Okay, so I actually want to go with you.

No, I came as the guy with

Yo, uh, check what I
found in the kitchen.
Ew.
Right? They're so cool. They're worms.
- I can see that.
- Yeah.
I don't know what kind,
but, you know, I'll probably Google it
and figure it out or something.
Wow. Interesting.
Yeah.
Great. Really glad I
came. [CLEARS THROAT]
Huh?
Look, I wouldn't have
cared that you invited her,
- but you made it weird.
- [ISAIAH] Well, it's not a big deal.
Baby, she helped me with
something, so I invited her.
[ALLISON] Helped you with what?
What could she have possibly
helped you with that I couldn't?
I am your girlfriend, Isaiah.
So why are you always talking to her?
Because we're neighbors,
and we have been forever.
Baby, you know I talk to
the postman too, right?
Are you jealous of the postman now?
If the postman was a girl our age
that you were always
talking to, then yes.
- What?
- I can't do this anymore.
Allison!
Oh.
No, don't do that.
- Okay.
- [MARGOT CLEARS THROAT]
You, um, keep on spying, sexy spy.
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, I'm gonna head out.
Why?
Come on [CHUCKLES] you know why.
I don't.
Why didn't you tell
Allison that I was coming?
I don't know, seemed easier to avoid it.
Well, it's like, if you don't say stuff,
then sometimes it's fine?
Hmm. Not my experience.
[SIGHS] Look, things have been weird.
And Allison, she's just stressed.
No. Don't you dare put
this on Allison, okay?
Now she hates me, because
of some crap that you pulled.
You're pitting us against each other!
I'm not pitting anyone against anyone!
- Oh. [LAUGHS]
- How am I pitting?
You can only talk to me when
your girlfriend's not around.
Do you hear that?
I'm not the girl that
you cheat with, okay?
Not on tests and not at parties.
No Margot!
Wait!

Hey, James, where were you all night?
- You missed all the excitement.

plenty of excitement on our own.
- Hmm?
- I'm waiting for you to ask me.
- Dude, we made out!
- What?
Kind of. It was brief.
Bro, I think that's the
dude who broke up the party.
Hey, do do do don't look!

I mean, that is my bag.
[LAUGHS] Wow, it was really kind of you
to drive it all the way over here.
Well, you know, as fate would have it,
I was on my way over here anyway
because I am your new English
teacher. I'm Mr. Bratt.
Look, I got no idea how that
ended up at your house, okay?
What a weird mystery.
- It is, right? [LAUGHS]
- [BRATT] Yeah.
A mystery! Also, look,
I love English, favorite subject,
and, um, I speak it all the
time. [NERVOUSLY CHUCKLES]
So what I'm gonna do,
I'm just gonna go
I was your age once.
I know how fun it is to
make terrible decisions.
Or rather, I should say,
I know that you have a brain
that's expressly designed
to make terrible decisions,
so I'm not even that mad about it.
You're not?
No.
You seem like a good kid, so
I mean, I try to be, sir.
I'm sure.
So let's pretend
this never happened, yeah?
No one's parents need to know about it.
- For real?
- For real.
When we have our first class together,
- we'll just start fresh.
- [ISAIAH SIGHS]
- Yeah?
- In return, I'm gonna need you
to spread the word
among the usual suspects
that moving forward,
my house is a place
where a human now lives,
and is therefore no
longer a suitable venue
for social functions.
- Okay.
- Yeah? Can you do that?
- That's all you need?
- That's it.
- I mean, for sure.
- [KNOCKS TABLE] Great.
- Thank you, Isaiah.
- Thank you.
- Hey, before you go
- Yeah?
Here is the key to your house.
Hey, how kind of you.
[ISAIAH] Yeah.
[BRATT SMACKS LIPS]
That's the slaps, right?
Oh, I'll figure it out. I
don't think I'm using it right.
This is gonna be great. We're
gonna laugh about this one day.
- Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Bratt.
- Nice to meet you!
You too!

[MARGOT SCOFFS]

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]
[STUDENTS CHATTERING]
[MARGOT COUGHING]
Are you okay?
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wh
What's wrong with her?
Nut allergy. Get the nurse!
- Get the nurse!
- Move, move, move!
Tell me you have your EpiPen? Yeah?
Get the nurse, man!
- [MARGOT COUGHS]
- Look! Ready?
Ready?
[MARGOT GASPS AND COUGHS]
Margot! Honey, are you okay?
Can you breathe?
Deep breath, nice and slow.
[MARGOT COUGHING]
I'm okay, I am, really.
- Breathe easy.
- I'm okay. Thanks.
[COUGHS] I'm okay.
- [ENGINE STARTS]
- [HIP-HOP MUSIC PLAYING]
Hey, James! James!
[TIRES SCREECH]
[CAR THUDS]
[MUSIC STOPS]
Isaiah!
I'm so sorry, okay?
That's my bad. I just came
running to try and find you.
- For what?
- It's an emergency.
You have to see these! James!
See what?
What?
Ja Ja James, these were the photos
I took of Allison and Margot.
The ones I took in the house,
before it actually happened,
which is impossible, James!
Slow down. What're you saying?
I'm saying this camera is haunted, okay?
It's a haunted camera, James,
and you gotta believe me!
Because you found it in the
basement where the kid died.
Yes.
Yes, that that is
exactly what I'm saying.
[JAMES] Okay, that makes sense.
Can I see the camera?
- Please?
- Yes, but be careful, okay?
There's some cursed devil
stuff going on there.
Okay?
- [SHUTTER CLICKS]
- [CAMERA WHIRS]
Why Why would you do
that, man? That's not cool!
'Cause there is no such thing
as a cursed camera, dude!
That isn't real! Wanna
know what is real?
The scratch on my brand
new fully-loaded Rubicon.
This, it was on back order
for like a year, dude!
Now I have to text my mom!
[CAR DOOR THUDS]
[CREEPY MUSIC]
- Hey, Margot?
- Hey.
Hey, I was just gonna drop off my stuff
so I could come see you and
Thank you so much for saving my life.
I still can't believe that
I picked the wrong bar.
That's never happened.
- Hey, is something wrong?
- Yeah
Can you take a look
at this for me, please?
Huh.
Oh, man, you just don't want
me to show anyone, do you?
- What is wrong with you, man?
- Why are you talking to that camera?
Because it's trying to ruin my future.
- What?
- Well, it's the reason why you choked.
No, I choked because
I ate the wrong bar.
No, no, it's the same thing
that happened to Allison.
And if I play in tomorrow night's game,
I'm gonna be this thing's next victim.
But, Margot, if I don't play,
the scouts skip me over and
I don't get my scholarship.
So what I'm saying is either way,
this thing has got me trapped.
I could just really
use your help with this.
I don't believe this.
- I know how crazy it sounds.
- No, not that. This, us.
I thought you were actually
coming to check up on me,
to see how I was doing for a change.
But as usual, you made
it about you again.
You always make it about you and
Look, I don't know what's
going on with you right now,
but I can't be the person
that you always come to
- when you have problems.
- I know.
I know, and I'm sorry, but
I swear, this is different.
No, no. You're gonna have to
solve this one on your own.
Okay? I'm done.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
[TENSE MUSIC]
You can't hurt me if you don't exist.
Mm-mm. This is what you get.
[SHOUTING] I'm gonna play that game,
I'm gonna win that game, and
there's nothing you can do about it!
Come on! Yeah!
Now let's go. [ROARS]
[ISAIAH] Titans, let's go! Let's go!
[ENERGETIC MUSIC]
- [JAMES] Let's go, Titans!
- [WHISTLE BLOWS]
[ANNOUNCER SPEAKING
INDISTINCTLY OVER PA]
Let's go!
Whoo, all right! That's
our offense, come on!
Six more, baby, six more! Come on!
One-eighty!
One-eighty!
Set, hike!
[PLAYERS GRUNTING]
[CROWD CHEERING]
Yeah!
That's what I'm talking about!
Isaiah's on fire tonight!
[ANNOUNCER] That ends the first half,
and your Port Lawrence
Titans are up by six.
[PLAYERS CLAMORING]
What did I tell you, huh?
- What'd I tell you?
- You tell me!
- Didn't I say this is our year?
- Yes, sir!
Didn't I say this is our time?
- [PLAYERS] Yeah!
- Didn't I say the glory days
are right there at our fingertips?
- [PLAYERS] Yeah!
- Now y'all better hold 'em up!
- That's right!
- [COACH RIFKIN] Okay,
we still got another half!
Let's get out there,
keep up the intensity,
and finish strong!
- [CLAMOR DISTORTS]
- [DIREFUL MUSIC]
[DISTORTED CHEERING, SHOUTING]
[DIREFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]
Okay, get out there.
- Go on!
- [PLAYERS SHOUTING]
Coach! Coach!
- Coach, take me out!
- You just went in!
- Please!
- Let's go!
- [CROWD CHEERING]
- Yeah!
What's the plan?
[ISAIAH] Oh, uh, uh, uh
O okay, right, right.
Right now, it's not about plays,
it's about goals, okay?
- Right now, what's our goal?
- To win.
No. Your goal is to protect the QB.
Okay? That's your new goal.
That's not the goal. Our goal
is definitely always to win.
Generally, that is the goal.
But right now, your new
goal is to protect me,
even if it means we lose, okay?
- That doesn't make any sense.
- Yes, it does make sense!
It does! It makes perfect sense!
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
[PLAYERS GROANING]
[GRUNTS] Have you lost your mind?
Get your head in the game!
Damn it! What the heck
are you doing out there?
[ANNOUNCER] Delay of
game! Offense, Number 11.
Five-yard penalty. Still first down.
Far north 24-slot!
Come on!
[DIREFUL MUSIC]
[COACH RIFKIN] Let's go, come on!
Call the snap, Isaiah.
Call the snap, Isaiah!
[DEMONIC VOICE] Call the snap, Isaiah!
Oh, screw this!
Hey, ref! Time!

- [LUCAS] Mom.

- What?
- [FIRE ROARING]
- [TERRIFYING MUSIC]
[GROWLS RASPING]
[ISAIAH] Move!
Get away from me!
[ISAIAH GRUNTS]
- [TERRIFYING MUSIC STOPS]
- Isaiah! Isaiah!
Don't move. Don't move.
- Oh! Oh, my God.
- Look at me, son. Look at me.
Medic! Get a stretcher!
- No, don't. Just look at me.
- Just breathe.
Isaiah, just breathe.
Help is on the way.
- [ISAIAH GASPS]
- [BEN] Look at me. Look at me.
[ISAIAH SCREAMS]
Stay down!
[ISAIAH WHIMPERING]
Look at me, look at me!
Oh, my God.
How you doin', champ?
- Did we win?
- Yeah.
But not that it matters.
- I just talked to the doctor.
- Yeah?
And she said, based on
your age and the X-rays,
doctor feels real optimistic.
If you really get after
your physical therapy,
you could make a full recovery,
probably won't even miss a step.
Okay, but did she mention a timetable?
Oh, well, it's gonna take some time.
- I mean, you don't want to rush it.
- How long?
Um, if everything goes smoothly
six to eight months.
That's gonna knock me
out for the season, Dad.
I'll miss my scholarship window.
Don't worry about the
scholarship, all right?
I'm gonna find a way to pay the tuition.
- Ben?
- What?
What?
[SOMBER MUSIC]
[LAURA] We'll figure it out.
You just focus on healing, all right?
You believe me.
- Isaiah, say you believe me.
- Yeah, I believe you.
[LAURA] You got this.
Get some rest.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
[ISAIAH SIGHS]
- Nora, what are you doing here?
- He's going to visit
the sins of the fathers
on all our children.
What are you talking about?
I saw Biddle!
He's come back, Ben.
He's come back to make us
pay for what we did to him.
This doesn't end with Isaiah.
[EERIE MUSIC]
[BRATT MUTTERING]
[EERIE MUSIC]
[BRATT] Hmm.
[HINGE CREAKING]
Are you kidding me?
Guys, come on! We had a deal.
This house is no longer
a party destination
