Previously on "Chucky"
You knew what he was, and you
put him in my house anyway.
- You can't tell anyone!
- Watch me.
Do you have any idea what you've done?
Your sister's in the ICU, a boy is dead,
and our house is partially destroyed.
Who's gonna believe you? It's just us.
Life's so short, sweetheart.
I just feel silly to
go on pretending like
everything's okay when it's not.
Um, how's how's Junior?
Doctors he can't run
for at least a month
thanks to the damage to his lungs.
We don't know how the fire started.
Oliver didn't die in the fire.
His death has been ruled a homicide.
All roads lead back to you.
Or more precisely, to your doll.
You might feel a little prick.

Charles Lee Ray was a serial killer
who died in the eighties.
Supposedly, right before he died,
he transferred his soul
into a Good Guy doll.
You have to believe me. Chucky is alive.
He is trying to kill us.

Ooh!
Oh.
Oh!
What the what
Hey, hey, hey.
[GRUNTS] What the fuck, Delilah?
Oh, come on, don't be such a pussy, huh?
I said give it to me, now.
Not like that.
Fuck off, Dwayne!
Hi.
Want a smoke?
Thanks.
Well
It's a shame your friend
had to run off like that.
Maybe that's my problem.
Maybe I'm not looking for a friend.
Well, maybe you haven't found one.
Maybe.
Thanks for the light.
Hey, where are you going?
I'm looking for something very specific.
[CHUCKLES]
Try me.
You guys are all the same.
I promise you,
I'm not like anybody else.

Caroline, Caroline.
I like to be hugged.
Where's Chucky?
Oh, sweetie, Chucky's had a few boo-boos
and needs to rest up.
Maybe you could see him in a little bit.
I want Chucky.
I want Chucky.
I want Chucky!
Okay, but Chucky looks

Oh, my baby!
Look at you!
- Excuse me.
- Mm.
Oh, sweet pea.
Hey Care, um, where's Chucky?
I was thinking maybe I could take him
to go get a Snickers or something.
He must be starving after
taking such good care of you.
I hate Chucky. I hate Chucky! He's bad.
Jesus, Lexy.
It's all daisies until
you dampen the mood.
I was just trying to help.
Your mother and I both know
that you want what's best for Caroline.
I don't know that.
I don't.
But Caroline's decided that
she doesn't like Chucky anymore,
so we took care of it.
I threw him in the garbage.

Follow me.
This way.
[METALLIC CRASH]
Come on.
What are the chances he burned to death?
Okay.
Ah.
Uh-uh.
No way, this is disgusting.
We have to be sure.
I don't know what's worse,
stabbed with a butcher knife
or a used needle.
I'll do it. It's my mess.
We're in this together.
- Together.
- That's what I said.

Maybe we
you know, we could wait

He can't stay down there forever.
He can't?
What exactly are the rules
for supernaturally possessed dolls?
Hey, guys, I have an idea.
I'll get him out.
Lexy, dig.
Devon, keep watch.
Uh-uh. No, absolutely not.
There's like seven diseases down there.
Did you not just say "together"?
- You do it.
- Fine by me.
Ready to take him down if he jumps out?
Ugh, fine.
Just follow my lead.
Oh, shit.
Three, two, one.
Go!
Over there.
Jake, over there.
Eat this, Chucky!
Ugh, so gross!

A few days ago, you were
probably feeling shock, denial.
That's normal.
All of this is so much to take in.
At this point, you might
be feeling pain and guilt.
That's still normal.

Everyone will heal at their own speed,

I, know, probably think
I'm just the biology teacher,

Okay, let's pick back up
where we left off.
Chapter three:
Biotic and Abiotic Factors.
What are living and
non-living beings of life?

I'll be back in just a minute.

How does he even move around so fast?
He's a freaking doll.
- Maybe he left Hackensack.
- No.
He's a psycho back in
his hometown on a mission.
He's not leaving.
What do we do about Junior?
We should tell him.
No.
No, we can't bring him into this.
He doesn't have the imagination.
It's just the three of us.
Guys, we have to think.
No one's reported any weird
shit since the hospital
so he must be itching to kill by now.
Maybe we're going about
this the wrong way.
Maybe it's not where
he's going next, its
It's who.
Devon,
you know serial killers
better than anyone.
What are you thinking?
Well, most of the time it's opportunity,
but sometimes they fixate
on a certain kind
What're you guys talking about?
Nothing.
Have you guys seen "Westworld?"
It's a crazy theme park
with these hot robots
and you can, like, do
anything you want to them.
It's really cool.
I haven't. Been a little busy.
Haven't really had time
for that this week.
Guys, can we get back to work please?
Less chat, more science.

- All right, who can give me an example

Lexy?
[PHONE BUZZES]
Biotic factors? No?
[BELL RINGS]
Devon, this is all my fault.
Oliver would still be
alive if it wasn't for me.
[SOLEMN MUSIC]
Pain's a lot easier if you
let someone feel it with you.
Hey.
Close your eyes.
- What?
- Just do it.
Okay.
Now, think of everything you're feeling,
deep in your gut.
Unfiltered.
[SOFT EXCITING MUSIC]
You ever have those dreams
where you're running in place?
It feels like I'm running,
just like that.
The world is crashing down
because of something I did.
But I can't run to fix it.
Can't run from it.
Just stuck somewhere in the middle,
watching it all burn down.
There's nothing I can do
but pump my arms faster.
[RAPID INDISTINCT CHATTER]
Oh.
All right, this smell is disgusting.
Don't worry, Marta's
is gonna make this dump
camera ready again in time
for the New Year's Eve ball.
How much is that gonna cost us?
Nothing.
It's on the good people of Hackensack.
How are the people gonna
feel about their tax dollars
paying to clean up our mess?
They'll be happy to help restore order
and grateful for the sense of security.
The people of this town
need to know they're safe.
And the town hall tonight
will be the perfect
way to convince them.
You mean "reach them."
You mean "lie to them."
Excuse me?
Whatever. I gotta get outta here.
I don't think so.
You're grounded.
What?
You caused all this.
You have to live in it with us.
You're grounded until I say you're not.
Where are you going?
Uh-uh.
[TENSE MUSIC]
Exactly.
- Honey.
- Ugh.
I won't with her anymore.
Every time she speaks, it's cheap silver
on a mass produced dinner plate.
Show her some compassion.
You know, maybe get through to
her a little more effectively.
She nearly burned the whole
damn house down, Nathan.
I'm running a little low
on compassion at the moment.
Which I understand, but look,
do we care more about how our life looks
or how it feels?
You know, Lexy's hurting too.
Touchy-feely Nathan
is my least favorite
Nathan, just so you know.
How cool would it be
if you got to sleep down
here in Mommy's office?
- There's no bed.
- Well, it's a sofa bed.
Nana slept here, remember?
- Nana's dead.
- Well, now.
Yeah, but she didn't
Hey, look.
What do you think of that, huh?

Junior, you're still going

pieces and now he's dead,

As your mayor,
I wanted to take this
opportunity to speak to you

Second, I am here to tell you

Third, you're an idiot!
Fourth, it's important

Because nothing is more important to me
than family.
Boo!
- Thank you.
- You're the murderer!
Thank you so much.
- You killed that cop!
- Have a wonderful evening.
What about the fire at your house?
- Psycho!
- Please.
Quiet, please.
This is about the ongoing investigation
