[LAUGHING EVILLY]
Previously on fucking "Chucky"
Last year, my sister
Caroline was kidnapped.
I'm going to find you, and
I'm going to bring you home.
Joseph doesn't want to come
to school with me today.
He wants to go to work with you.
He wants to see the Oval Office.
President Collins has
vowed to heal this nation
and bring us together after
years of division and partisanship.
- What about that doll?
- Henry lost his brother.
So, if some doll gives
him any sort of comfort,
who are we to take that from him?

But, seriously, are you nervous?
- Terrified.

Chucky's in the White House.
How are we supposed to get
in the most secure house in the world?
Wait, don't they do tours?
[CELL PHONE CLICKING]
Yeah, but it it takes weeks,
and you need to email a representative.
What about a personal invite?
This is the president's very cute,
very obsessed with socials son, Grant.
- [IMITATES CAT SCREECH]
- He is cute.
- Well, he's not as cute you.
- Doesn't even compare.
Anyway, he's our in.
He has two million followers.
He must get thousands of DMs a day.
Killer dolls are hard.
Fuckboys are easy.
Dev, do a deep dive.
Find out everything you can about him.
Jake, get train tickets for the morning.
- We're going to D. C.
- Holy shit!
- Okay, we promise, no telling.
- Lips sealed.
Oh, my God, you guys,
have you seen the news?
I-is that Chucky in the White House?
And I'm late to the party, aren't I?
Yeah.
Oh, you are not actually thinking
of going after him, are you?
No. No way. It is too dangerous.
I am responsible for you now.
And we're responsible for Chucky.
I mean, we let him
get away from us twice.
You are not responsible for the actions
of a supernaturally
possessed killer doll.
We can't just stand back
and let more innocent people get killed.
Yeah, he killed our parents.
We have to do something.

You thinking about Teddy?
It's okay to talk about it.
Grant, are you going to die, too?
In life
we're going to lose people.
And it'll never be easy.
But remember what we talked about?
Sort of.
We'll always have our memories
the way they laughed,
how much they loved Fruity Pebbles,
that that they annoyed
the crap out of us.
So
next time you're missing Teddy
or Joseph
just remember this, okay?
I don't miss Joseph.
Joseph is here.

For breakfast?
Maybe Joseph would like
some pancakes instead
- with extra syrup?
- Yeah.
That's the face of a pancake guy.
[CHARLOTTE GIGGLES]
Joseph doesn't like fucking pancakes.

We'll talk about your
choice of words later.
Uh-huh.
Joseph wants to go to
the Oval Office again.
He had so much fun the first time.
I love Joseph's enthusiasm on politics,
but I think he should
go to school today.
You can't run a nation
without basic math.
But he wants to be close to you.

I don't see the harm
in Joseph missing one
more day of school.

Anything about his mood in

Any untoward associations,
debts, enemies?
To be perfectly candid, Mr. Pryce,
I think this meeting is ghoulish.
- I didn't want to have it.
- Charlotte
I'm sorry, but Teddy's
death was a tragedy.
Can't we just let him rest in peace
instead of impugning his reputation?
Ma'am, I'm not here to
make any moral judgments
about what's in a man's heart
in the days prior to his death.
I'm here to take out the garbage.
Gar
Now, wait a second.
Teddy Brooks was a fine man.
No man is purely garbage.
But can a man keep the wrong company,
become entangled, and endanger
the entire nation as a result?
Are you suggesting my son's
Secret Service agent was a spy?
I'm saying his death
isn't without suspicion.

- Yep.
I mean, he still is a
fuckboy, but he follows a lot
of weird, offbeat accounts
about conspiracy theories
and obscure historical facts.
Sounds like you want to
slide into his DMs, Dev.
Are you sure he doesn't
do that for show?
I mean, he posts in
the White House a lot,
more than my mother,
rest her soul, ever did.

Can you see me now?
Where's Miss Fairchild?

God bless America.
We're coming for you, Chucky.

I'm waiting for you, Lexy.
I'm waiting on pins and
needles for all of you.
I got a feeling that this is going to be
our bloodiest Halloween yet.
