Goosebumps (2023) s02e07 Episode Script

1
Whose body is that?
You had low level
exposure to a contaminant
that is reducing your
body to a nutrient sludge.
[ANTHONY] What are you doing?
[SIGHS SOFTLY] Why can't your
family leave anything alone?
[AVI] Previously on Goosebumps
This is Uncle Matty's
tape. It can help my dad.
[MATTY] Is that the
new girl? Hey, Hannah!
Hey!
[CJ] Who did Devin say
he was going to meet?
[CECE] Hannah, from the tape.
That's not possible. That
was like 30 years ago.
[MATTY] I'm looking for a
cameraman with a great smile
to help me on a top secret project.
[HANNAH CHUCKLES] You mean
like a doc or something?
[MATTY] Not a doc, a dare.
[HANNAH] Why do they
call it Camp Nightmare?
[MATTY] Dare's over. We're leaving.
[NICOLE] Hey, w Matty,
your face! Matty! [SCREAMS]
[HANNAH] Oh, God,
what is that? [SCREAMS]
I remember being in one of those pods.
[DOCTOR] There's something down
there that will destroy the world.
[HANNAH SCREAMS]
[DOCTOR] It's been my life's
work to keep it buried.
[CECE] Devin! Devin, stop!
Well, you're not doing a very good job.
[DOCTOR] Tell me about it.
[LOW-TEMPO ROCK MUSIC
PLAYING, THE ASSOCIATION "WINDY"]
[GARRETT] Okay, Camp Nightmooners,
welcome to Fort Jerome,
the next stop on our
Civil War Badge Tour.
This fort utilized four tiers of cannons
and sixty-eight guns, just
under where we are right now.
Boom! [CHUCKLES]
Aw, I didn't realize I accidentally went
to the girl's bunk
this morning. [SNIFFS]
Um, do the cannons still work?
[CLICKS TONGUE] Well,
it's from the Civil War,
so I would say nope.
All right, any more dumb questions
or can we keep moving?
All right.
Thank you, thank you,
thank you! Chop chop!
The fort sat unused until 1890
when the government
conducted torpedo experiments
designed by Thomas Edison himself.
Cool. He invented the telephone.
No, idiots. He invented the television.
Let's keep it moving. Come on.
- Let's go.
- Is it safe?
Yeah, it's safe. Just
don't jump, numbnuts.
[SIGHS]
Let's get over here. Come on.
Aw, you kids are so pathetic.
Bunch of scaredy cats.
Come on, look. See,
nothing to worry about.
It's just a ledge. Let's go.
Come on, don't be a
bunch of little chickens.
[IMITATES CHICKEN SQUAWKS]
[DISTANT BOOM]
What?
[WATER SPLASHING]
Far out.
[ALL SCREAM]
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]
[THEME MUSIC CONCLUDES]
- [ALEX] Hey.
- Hey.
How's it going?
Not good, but Trey said
he might know something
about the woman who took my dad,
so we've just been here waiting.
Cool.
- [FRANKIE] You okay?
- [DEVIN] Hannah was so real,
I was having full
conversations with her.
Devin.
You know that that was
all in your head, right?
How How could it be all in my head
if I know what she looks like?
This is the Hannah I was
talking to, right here.
I'm just trying to help you.
You don't have to yell at me.
Okay, I'm not yelling at you.
I'm just [INHALES DEEPLY]
emphatically talking to you. [SIGHS]
I believe you, but
She's not alive anymore.
That's just the thing.
I feel like she is.
And this is hard to explain.
I have this really
weird connection to her.
Okay. Not sure you can
take a ghost girl to prom.
I'm not gonna Stop making fun of me.
I'm serious.
Devin
you were in a trance.
Just think.
Think about everything
we've been going through.
This is just one more thing.
This is not like that. I
think Hannah needs our help.
- [SIGHS SOFTLY]
- And if we can help her,
maybe we can help my dad.
[DOOR OPENS]
Worst possible thing just happened.
My mom hired another
delivery driver. DJ.
That's unbelievable.
I know DJ. He's cool.
You're not helping.
I'm I'm sorry, but can we focus
on what really matters right now?
Okay, like we just
watched proof of mutants
- being created by the military.
- Th They're not mutants.
They're zombies.
Trust me, your dad was giving off
big zombie energy.
Okay, I don't care
what is under that fort.
Mutants, zombies, I don't care.
Because all I care about
right now is finding my dad,
who is still missing.
And in pieces.
[DOOR OPENS]
Yo, check this out. I found something.
I knew I'd seen that lady before.
This is that 20/20 episode
that my dad was interviewed in.
Yeah, I knew Matty. He was my neighbor.
[CECE] Don't you have
that same shirt, Trey?
[TREY] Yeah, it's vintage.
[JOE JR.] But the fact
that all that's left of them
is just their clothes,
I mean, that tells me
everything I need to know: Cult.
Probably of some kind of satanic origin.
What are we gaining
from watching this again?
- Just keep watching.
- [JOE JR.'S MOM] Joe Jr.,
- get your ass back in here!
- Mom, just one second!
[NARRATOR] Even though the
mother of one of the boys
- who went missing, Naomi Brewer
- [ALEX] Wow. That's really sad.
doesn't believe her son drowned,
the caretaker of Fort
Jerome was there that night
and saw the kids go skinny dipping.
- [FRANKIE] Oh, my God, that's her.
- Fast-moving currents
will pull people out to sea.
Oftentimes, those bodies
are never recovered.
There is a reason why this site
has never been open to the public.
Not to mention chemical toxins
still exist from its early days
- as a, uh, military site.
- [FRANKIE] See? Military mutants.
Or military zombies.
Okay, you guys are missing the point.
She knew where I was. She
knew where your dad was.
She could be, like,
watching us right now.
I don't think she has hidden cameras
in my grandma's house.
Dr. Ramona Pamani
No, there's nothing on the
internet with that name.
[CJ] Just give it to
me. Huh, that's weird.
There's only one result for Dr. Pamani,
but it's Dr. Avi Pamani?
- Who?
- [CJ] He wrote a book,
I don't really know,
it's Global Risk Management: The
End of the World As We Know It.
That sounds like a good read.
Unfortunately, it is out of print
and not online. That's great.
Fake medical doctor or not,
she was in the hospital.
Frankie, your mom works
there. Can she help us?
Maybe. Yeah, uh,
- we can try.
- Yeah, I'll go with you.
Okay, and then Alex and CJ and I,
we can track down this book.
Yeah, that's great. That's great.
I love being the third wheel.
How did I get here?
Where's my phone? Wait
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[SIGHS] What's going on?
[GRUNTS] What?
[MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY]
That's impossible.
What?
Hello?
Hello? Can anyone hear me?
[MUFFLED POUNDING]
[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTS]
[MUSIC CRESCENDOS]
Devin!
Cece!
Help! Help!
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
Mama.
Frankie!
[IN SPANISH] What are
you guys doing here?
[IN SPANISH] We need
your help with something.
We're looking for the
doctor who treated Trey.
Is everything okay, Trey?
yeah, I just I've been having
some, um, recurring
relapses in my symptoms.
Symptoms have been pretty
symptom-y in my, um, spleens.
Okay, let me look up your doctor.
Thank you.
What?
Uh, this is weird.
The doctor who saw you is actually
a pediatric dermatologist.
This doesn't make any sense.
Yeah, 'cause I'm not a boy. I'm a man.
And you weren't having skin problems.
- Hundred percent.
- Just one second.
When did you, uh, uh stop
seeing your pediatrician?
'Cause I still see mine.
Hi. Hey.
- I'm looking for Dr. Jane Clark
- Y Yeah.
who worked with a patient
earlier in the week in the ICU.
Oh. Okay.
Thanks for letting me know.
That doctor had her
badge stolen last week.
I need to report this right away.
Um, maybe if you show
us the security footage,
- we can try to, um
- To identify her.
Okay. Come with me.
[IN SPANISH] This seems very strange.
I've never head of anything like
this happening at the hospital.
It's scary. Is everything okay?
[IN SPANISH] Yes, Mom. Don't worry.
This was the morning
after you were brought in.
Tell me when you see
the doctor you described.
No, it's cool. It's cool.
It's all right. It's all right.
[DEVIN] Well, it
You know, I I was
I was really just trying to comfort her.
[TREY] Yeah, no, it's cool.
It's It's It's
I was in a coma, but it's it's cool.
You were catatonic
- [TREY] Well [SIGHS]
- [DEVIN] Which is different.
It is not as bad.
Listen, I was really worried, okay?
Yeah. Uh, Devin just came
- to check up on me.
- She was beside herself, really.
She was there all night.
A And, you know, I
got there, and then
- That's your flirt stance.
- N No, it's not! I
[IN SPANISH] It's
definitely your flirt stance.
- Yep.
Can Okay, can we just
speed this up, please?
We have to find that doctor.
Oh, that's her right there.
[TREY] That's definitely her.
CJ said he saw her in
a hallway by the ICU.
Okay. I'll go to that hallway.
It lets out in the
front of the hospital.
She drives a Range Rover?
That's really baller.
Can you zoom in and
get the license plate?
[SECURITY] I need to turn
this over to the police.
I have to get back to work.
[IN SPANISH] You alright?
[IN SPANISH] Yes, of course. Bye, Mom.
- Yeah, we can run the plates at the shop.
That sounds legal.
You wanna find her or not? Come on.
Anthony?
Devin? Cece?
[ANTHONY OVER PHONE]
Hey, it's Anthony
[JEN] Anthony, come
on, this is important.
You can't just ignore me.
I have been calling all day.
I need to see what's on that tape, too.
Hey, Jen! When are
you gonna do something
about those people letting
their dogs poop in my yard?
[JEN] Oh yeah, I'm starting
a task force for that now.
Hey, have you seen Anthony?
No, but all those kids came
rushing out of the house.
Some of them took his car.
I think something's up.
Wait, was Alex with them?
She was. So what's the
name of this task force?
Oh, it's called
"I'm a Detective, I'm Not
in Charge of Dog Poop."
I do not appreciate the sarcasm.
You work for me, you know that?
Yeah, well, you don't pay
me enough for this crap.
I tracked it into my
house. Into my house, Jen!
Disgusting.
[PHONE LINE RINGING]
Hey, Morales, remember when you said
you knew somebody who handles
the ankle bracelet monitoring?
I need to call in a favor.
Hi, we called about an
out-of-print book by Dr. Avi Pamani.
Oh, right. Let me check.
Thank you.
[SLURPS]
What? I get hungry when I'm nervous.
[CECE SIGHS] Here we go.
Global Risk Management: The
End of the World As We Know It.
Wikipedia summary, please.
He's kind of cute.
Sexuality's a spectrum.
[CJ] So let's just revisit that.
Okay, it seems like this
book is about how the world
has to prepare for what we
don't know and can't see.
So it's like a book of nightmares?
Basically. Oh, wow.
He had doctorates in
epidemiology, molecular biology,
existential risk mitigation from MIT.
Existential risk mitigation?
That doesn't sound good.
How do we even know that this
guy is related to that woman?
Oh, well, here's him with his daughter.
Her name is Dr. R [GASPS]
- Oh!
- Oh! Gosh That's my bad.
- [SIGHS]
- I'm I'm sorry. Uh
[CECE] Dr. Ramona Pamani.
So are we gonna have to,
like, buy this book now?
[LIBRARIAN] Yes.
All right, this is it. The
address should be down that alley.
I feel like you shouldn't be able
to just look up somebody's
address like this.
[TREY] Well, it's so we can
do credit checks, you know?
Her score, by the way, is over 800.
That's, like, unheard of. It's amazing.
I check my friend's
parents' all the time.
Guys!
Okay. That's her.
Again, the Range Rover.
That's so surprising.
[DEVIN] Will you please
let go of the Range Rover?
Cars are my love language,
man, what can I say?
- [CECE] Hey!
- [YELLS]
Jeez.
Guys you literally
texted us the address.
How is this a surprise?
[SIGHS] It doesn't mean
you have to sneak up on us.
[ALEX] You look like criminals.
From the lips of an actual criminal.
Yeah, I know as soon as I said it.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[DEVIN] How are we gonna get in?
[TREY] I got it.
So, you just carry those
with you everywhere you go?
Yeah, bro. You never
know when you'll need 'em.
We really look like
criminals now. [EXHALES]
We really, really are criminals now.
That's just great.
[GARAGE METAL SCREECHING]
Come on.
Hurry. She could be back any second.
[WHISTLES] Nice spot.
Wow, this really gives
off super villain vibes.
Or veterinarian office vibes.
Will you guys cut it out?
I was just trying to lighten the mood.
[DEVIN] Oh, my God.
Is that my dad's shirt?
What?
- What are you doing?
- Uh Wh
That is a biohazard bin.
- How do you know?
- It says biohazard!
[TREY] 429Z?
My dad's clothes are in
there. He He was here.
[INHALES] Or part of him was.
Where is he now?
Hey, guys? Cece found something.
[TREY] I'm keeping this.
[FRANKIE] Come on.
Guys, come look at this.
I I think it's like
a journal of some sort,
but it documents all of her experiments.
She's been writing it since
entry day one, 1969.
[CJ] What is the Orion Project?
[UPBEAT JAZZ MUSIC
PLAYING, LES BAXTER "BACOA"]
Welcome to the Orion Project.
This is a clandestine operation.
Going forward, you
will only be referred to
by your numerical assignment.
You're number three,
number four,
and number five.
What's your name?
Number two.
So that makes you?
The one in charge.
Please, open your cases.
[WHISTLES]
This facility was built
after the incident.
Once we go down, we stay down.
[RAMONA] There is no contact
with the outside world
from below.
This facility does not exist
to anyone beyond this group.
Well, this keeps getting
better and better.
[NUMBER 4] What on Earth is down there?
It's not from Earth.
[NUMBER 5] Wow
He wasn't joking when
he said "not from Earth."
[AVI] Hazmat suits are to
be worn in here at all times.
[NUMBER 3] So we're
dealing with a contagion?
[AVI] We don't know
what we're dealing with.
That's why you're here.
But it is a threat?
We don't know that.
We don't know anything.
Well, something warranted
all the biohazard protocols.
What was it?
He was first contact.
The counselor from Camp Nightmoon.
[NUMBER 5] More like Camp Nightmare.
[NUMBER 3] Looks peaceful.
They say corpses are
peaceful. [CHUCKLES]
He's alive.
Let's get to work.
Day 186, test subject 339B.
Another day, another mouse.
Core temperature, a hundred degrees.
Specimen vitals all normal.
Start the exposure.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]
It's consistent, I'll give it that.
Vitals elevated. PA 02,
300 percent above normal.
His cerebral activity is slowing.
Respiratory rate dropping now.
- Amnestic state is starting.
- [COMPUTER BEEPING]
Nervous system shutting down.
Decomposition is imminent.
Sorry little fella.
Step back.
I hate this part.
Podding process complete.
Prepare the 429-D serum.
429-D serum, coming right up.
Injecting now.
What do you say? You wanna make a bet?
No.
[CHUCKLES] We did it! The serum worked.
[CHUCKLES]
- [SIGHS]
- [NUMBER 5] All right, guys. What's next?
[RAMONA] Now we can try
it on the camp counselor.
[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]
Hello, my brilliant daughter.
[RAMONA] What is the real
purpose of the Orion Project?
To assess and contain. You know that.
No, don't lie to me, Dad.
You want to do to that
ship what we did to the pod.
The serum is a weapon.
I mean, you're trying
to destroy that ship.
If it means saving
humanity, then yes, I am.
No, Dad. We're scientists.
We're not soldiers.
A foreign entity has
entered our ecosystem,
and we have no defense against it.
Yes, but we don't know
that it's a threat.
Really? Well, tell that to
the man in the pod over there.
This isn't a school experiment, Ramona.
We aren't graded on our
research and we don't defend it
to a panel of men in tweed jackets.
This is potentially life or death
for every single person on the planet.
- Yeah, but it's not that simple.
- [AVI] In this case, it is.
- Because you say so?
- Because I'm right.
I mean, they lock us down
in here for a whole year
with one lousy foosball
table? I hate foosball.
- I hate all sports.
- [SCOFFS]
[PANTS] I just ran the perimeter.
You guys should work out more.
Get those endorphins pumping.
Oh, a thousand laps in a circle
like one of the lab rats? No, thank you.
The serum works, do
the human trial next,
and then you can go
back to whatever it is
you do on the surface.
This is basically what
I do on the surface,
minus the aliens.
Well, when I get outta
here, I'm going to Hawaii
for like a month. Then I'll see my kids.
You have kids?
[SWALLOWS] Four girls. [INHALES DEEPLY]
No one's leaving yet. You
guys better take a seat.
Oh, great. There goes my afternoon nap.
There you are.
I need you all to get suited up.
We're gonna test the serum on the ship.
I'm guessing Number Two has
shared her worldview with you.
The mission doesn't say
anything about killing aliens.
The mission is to contain at all costs.
I'm not having this debate again.
- You don't have to.
- We're all in agreement.
[AVI] Look, I respect
your position. I really do.
But it all comes down to risk.
And we cannot risk
the entire human race.
I will do this.
So you don't have to.
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
[WHIRRING]
[CRACKLING]
Mission accomplished.
[MUSIC CONCLUDES]
[ALARM BLARING]
[GARRETT] This isn't me.
This isn't me
This isn't me.
[SQUELCHING, SCREECHING]
- Hm?
- [AVI] Get up, now.
- What? What's happening?
- No time to explain.
Just put your suit on.
- What? Why? Why? What's wrong?
- Just do it, Ramona! Please!
Okay, okay!
Five?
Five
I'm sorry, this isn't me. This isn't me!
Whoa! [GRUNTS]
[SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY]
- [SCREAMS]
- [NUMBER 5 GRUNTS]
- [AVI GRUNTS]
- [NUMBER 5 GRUNTS, YELLS]
[RAMONA WHIMPERS]
- [AVI] Come on!
- [PANTS]
- Dad? Dad, you killed him!
- It wasn't him anymore, come on!
[ALARM CONTINUES BLARING]
Hey, help! Help! Help! Help! [SCREAMS]
It's too late for them, come on!
[SHOUTS, PANTS] Go, go, go! Keep going.
I'm right behind you.
[RAMONA PANTS, SCREAMS]
What happened?
[AVI] The serum isn't shutting
down the ship. It's fighting back!
[PANTS] Dad, come on.
My visor cracked when
I fought off Number 5.
What? No, don't!
I am so sorry to leave
you with this burden.
But it's up to you now. And only you.
Dad, no! No, please!
Think of the greater good. Contain
[WHIMPERS] Dad!
[SOBS] Dad!
[AVI] If you are reading this,
the Orion Project under
Fort Jerome has failed.
But you have survived.
You must contain the ship.
If it were to get out,
it could mean the end of
humanity as we know it.
If there's anyone who
can handle this, it's you,
my brilliant daughter.
I'm sorry I won't be there to help.
I love you. Dad.
[SIGHS]
Get away from that!
You have no idea what that is.
Actually, we do.
Yeah, we kinda know everything.
Including how you locked your own father
in that facility to die.
You have no idea what I've been through
and what I've had to sacrifice.
There's more to the story than
what's in these journal entries.
My father was right.
The ship is a threat.
I've spent the last
55 years containing it.
And in all that time, the Brewer family
has made that very difficult for me.
Is our dad in that room under the fort?
That's what happens once you're exposed.
The ship draws you back to it.
That's what happened to me?
So, how did he get out?
With what's in there.
After all these years, I
perfected my father's formula.
Wait, so that means that
that can maybe save our dad.
No, y you don't understand.
It is too risky to go back down there.
No, no, you don't understand.
My dad is a scientist.
And he always says
that science should be
the riskiest profession or
you're not doing it right.
And then, he'd make some bad botany pun.
[SCOFFS]
I was I'm just trying to help.
[SIGHS] You were right
about what you said.
You were a scientist, not a soldier.
And you still are one.
You remind me of a younger me.
And you would do anything to
get your dad back, wouldn't you?
Help us.
Please.
I'll help you. But we have to move fast.
Your father doesn't have a lot of time.
[DRAIN CLATTERING]
[OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYING]
No. No, no, no. No.
No, no. No! [SCREAMS]
