Super Happy Fun Clown (2025) Movie Script
Drop the gun.
Listen to her, Jen.
Lower your weapons.
You're not getting
away. I'm a good shot.
I could hit you in
the eye from here.
Just take the shot.
We know who you are,
Jennifer Sullivan.
That's my mom's name.
No!
Sit down.
Can we go see the clown?
What is it with
you and clowns?
No, we gotta go to the store.
Come on, get in there.
And a pack of
The usual?
Yes.
Thanks, Robert.
Say, Robert, are you
ever gonna do anything
about that drab out front?
Oh, Bill?
Nah.
He could ruin your business.
Not when I'm the only business
within a full square block.
Ah, thanks Bob.
- Yep. See you next time.
- Mm-hmm.
You too, sweetheart.
Oh, what do you say?
Thank you.
Anytime, darling,
Come along, dear.
Mom, can we help him?
Get in the car, Jen, now.
Don't make me get out the
wooden spoon when we get home.
Okay, come on.
Yes?
Did anyone get the extra
credit question right?
Just one of you.
Who was it?
That would be Ms. Sullivan.
Brainiac.
Wow.
Some amazing artwork, Jen.
Thanks.
Tell me about it. How
does it make you feel?
Happy,
Howdy.
Well, howdy to you.
You're Jethro, aren't you?
Oh, yes ma'am.
You hear any music?
- No, should I?
- Yeah.
I should too, but
I don't, darn it.
If you'll wait,
I'll hum something for you.
What do you say, chief?
Oh, Jethro.
Nice to see you.
- Hi, miss Jake.
- How's the science coming?
I'm working on it.
Look, mom, I'm the only one
who got the extra
credit question right.
Oh, that's great.
I'm so happy for you.
My little prodigy.
Someday you're gonna
be rich and famous.
You're gonna have everything
you've ever wanted.
You're gonna be somebody.
Now go get ready for dinner.
Okay, mama.
This is going on
the refrigerator.
"This is going on
the refrigerator."
Stop.
Make me, bitch.
Jen, what the hell?
I didn't let you have
a TV in your room
so you could watch this trash
or stay up past your bedtime.
This better not happen again.
Jen.
Oh, she must have
gotten into the makeup.
It's fine.
Don't, don't, don't
worry about it.
We can get it.
We got it.
Hey, hey, Nicole.
What are you doing up?
I asked you a question,
Mom.
I think I started my period.
Well, now you can get pregnant.
What do you want?
I think I got my, my period
and I don't know what to do.
Just go get a tampon
out of the bathroom.
Okay.
Mom, who's John Wayne Gacy?
I don't know, dear.
Is he a clown?
I said, I don't know.
John Wayne was a
famous actor, though.
PFW Bank has
been serving this community
for over 20 years
and taking care of all
your savings needs.
- Oh, Jen, it's on.
- The Majestic Savings Plan
to take care of you and yours.
But don't just take
our word for it.
With the Majestic Savings
Plan, someday I'll be able
to retire without being
a burden to my family.
With the Majestic Savings
Plan, I can go to college
and make all my
dreams come true.
My little superstar.
Girls, time for dinner.
Jen, come on.
Where's your sister?
Where is your sister?
I don't know.
She was on the bus ride home.
Last I saw her, she was
tying her shoe out front.
You are in big
trouble, young lady.
Brittany, go upstairs.
Now, put your left hand here.
Take off your hat.
Raise your right hand.
Will you get rid of that hat?
Raise your right hand.
Raise your right hand.
Do you solemnly swear to
Huh?
Do you solemnly swear truth?
Are you trying to
give me the double talk?
Do you solemnly swear
to tell the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth?
Why don't you answer him?
- Boo!
- Jesus Christ.
You know, you
really can't do that
to your subordinates.
I'm like 20 years away
from retirement, you know?
Well, never said I was
a good boss.
Cartoon section for you.
Yes.
What you got?
There's that assault
case over at the university.
Ah, yeah.
Yes.
Oh, and Halloween's
in a couple weeks.
Always fun.
Where do you think
it'll be this year?
Burning Pumpkins.
Burning pumpkins?
Yeah, like filled
with gasoline,
on fire in the
middle of the street.
Why...
I hope that's all.
You did that as a
kid, didn't you?
I'm pleading the fifth.
Hey.
I'll tell you what,
that's all that happens,
dinner's on me.
You've got yourself a deal.
Take this off.
Take this off.
Now take it easy.
We'll have you all
fixed up in a minute.
Oh, happy birthday.
Hold this.
You still at GCI?
Yeah.
How much are you
pulling in again?
Well, my last paycheck
was a little over 900.
Ah, for a week?
No, two.
What a joke.
What is it you do there?
You you punch forms all day.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's sad.
I do my clowning almost
every day after work,
on the weekends too.
I'm sure that's lucrative.
What's that bring in,
a couple dollars a day?
Make sure you remember to
report that on your taxes.
I don't know how to
be rich and famous, Mom.
And bringing smiles
to those kids' faces
is the only thing
that makes me happy.
Hmm.
Well, if you'd had gotten
your head out of your ass
and followed your brain
instead of your heart,
you'd be much happier.
Valedictorian of
your high school.
You could've gone
to any college.
But instead you stayed here.
For what?
A philosophy degree.
Mm.
Probably should
have gotten a degree
in order flipping.
You could have been an engineer,
a doctor, like your sister,
an actor, an actuary, anything,
but instead, low paying
job after low paying job.
Didn't even marry well.
He was a lawyer
when we got married.
Hmm, yeah.
And then he got disbarred
for soliciting a minor.
Hmm.
What is wrong with you
that he has to try to take
pictures of a 16-year-old girl?
He doesn't want me.
Who would?
Some namesake.
Hey, come here.
What were your
numbers last month?
Wow.
Not gonna be enough for them.
No, but I don't
even care anymore.
Right?
Fuck this place.
Yeah, we need
to get outta here.
Want to?
Have you seen that
new series on Dahmer?
Oh, I have seen it, twice.
Yeah?
It's pretty good so far.
I don't wanna
spoil it for you,
but I think he kills
someone though.
Girl, I'm about
to start killing people here,
starting with our
work lead over there.
Oh yeah. That's a
murder I'd like in on.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay.
When do you wanna do
it? How do we do it?
I mean, no time like
the present, right?
You know?
Ice pick.
Ooh.
Ooh, brutal.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Tonight.
If you please, Doctor.
Doctor.
Here.
Say, I forgot to tell you
when the afternoon
papers come out,
you're gonna be famous.
How come?
Please omit the
rest of the entertainment.
Do you mind if I sit here?
Not at all.
PB and J, lunch of champions.
Right?
Or those of us unfortunate
enough to work here.
Okay, so standard
conversation starter.
What are your three
favorite movies?
You like movies, right?
- I love movies.
- Great.
So what are your favorites?
Hmm.
You tell me yours first.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So I'm gonna go with
"Back to the Future,"
"Sideways," and "No
Country for Old Men."
What are yours?
So hard.
Gun to my head?
- BB Gun.
Okay.
Well I love black
and white horror,
classic movie monsters.
"Frankenstein."
Actually, "Bride of
Frankenstein" is better.
What about modern favorites?
"Starry Eyes,"
"Monster Squad."
And any version of "Dracula,"
though Coppola's is my favorite.
What is it about Dracula?
The idea of acquiring
power through consumption,
even if it means taking
it from what you love.
"Monster Squad"
sounds familiar.
It's basically "The Goonies"
fighting the classic
movie monsters.
What was the last one?
"Starry Eyes."
Yeah. Never heard of it.
Oh, so meta.
Has my favorite acting
performance of all time.
What's it about?
Realizing your
dreams at all costs,
even if it means selling
your soul to the devil.
Sorta like "Faust."
So what are your dreams?
Well, fortune and
glory, of course.
Okay, so based on
your movie choices,
I'm gonna go out on a limb
and guess that Halloween
is your favorite holiday.
Oh, you wouldn't be wrong.
Well, if you're free,
I'm having a Halloween
party on Saturday.
If you wanna come.
You're married, aren't you?
Your husband is welcome too.
Not anymore.
I'm free.
I'll try to make it.
Cool.
Cool.
Hi, mom.
Hi, hun.
You coming over for
Halloween to pass out candy?
I don't think so.
Actually, I just got
invited to a party.
Whose party?
Some coworkers.
Oh, so some coworkers
are more important than
your own flesh and blood.
Thanks a lot.
Can't Brittany do it?
And miss taking your
niece trick or treating?
I don't think so.
You know, Jen, I really
have a hard time with you.
You're always so disappointing.
I mean like the
simplest little thing.
Why can't you cooperate
like a family and do
- Okay.
- Okay, what?
Okay, I'll be there.
Thank you for blessing
us with your presence.
Don't forget to bring the candy.
Can I help you?
Oh, yeah.
I was kinda actually
looking for a gun.
Okay, what kind of
gun are you looking for?
I'm not really sure.
Okay, let me put
it to you this way.
What will you be
using the gun for?
Target practice?
Oh, no, protection.
Like something I
can keep in my bag.
I've got just
the thing for you.
Oh, that's
beautiful. I like it.
Now don't let
its size fool you.
It may be small, but
it packs a wallop,
and it is compact enough it
can fit in your backpack.
You can even put it in
your pocket if you want.
I'll take it.
Okay.
I just need to see your ID
so I can do a background check.
Okay, this will
just take a moment.
Okay, you are good to go.
I just need you to
fill out a form.
Can I buy some
bullets for it too?
You sure can. How
much do you want?
Oh, one box maybe.
Okay, so that comes
out to 175 even.
Say, do you think you could
show me how to use the thing?
I've never owned a gun before.
Okay, so you flip
this lever here to check
and see if it's loaded, and
always assume that it is.
Then you just take two bullets,
put it in the two
barrels here, reset,
flip the lever, and
you're ready to go.
Now the safety on this
gun is that it won't fire
unless you cock the
hammer back, like so.
And then you just
pull the trigger.
That seems easy enough.
Ma'am, I would
highly recommend
you take a firearm
safety course.
Promise me you'll do that.
I will.
Jeffrey was a boy
He didn't like his toys
Jeffrey was a boy
Well, aren't you going
to say trick or treat?
Come on in.
Can't believe you
wore that in public.
Will you please
take that stuff off?
You know, I told
you I don't like it
when you wear that over here.
You're 30 years old.
Would you just talk?
Cut the act. I'm your mother.
Well, clowns talk.
I mean, think of Bozo or
Krusty the clown, huh?
Ugh.
Uh...
"There's a long history
of silent clowns dating back
to 19th century traveling
shows in Europe."
Is this the 1800s?
Oh, come on.
We can pass out candy together.
You brought it right?
I swear.
Once a loser, always a loser,
just like your dad.
That gun looks a little
small to shoot out a banner
that says I'm pathetic on it.
I am going to be somebody.
Trick or treat.
Oxycodone?
Hmm?
Watch where
you're going, bozo.
Police department.
Okay.
Yeah.
And how long have you
been in contact with him?
Okay.
And when was the last time
you heard from your son?
Steven Friend, 743
Evergreen Terrace.
And your name?
Okay, we will do a well check
and we'll call you back.
Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
We are doing a well check?
Send a patrol officer.
I know you're
on your computer,
but I mean, can you say
that you're not bored?
Touche.
So, what do you say?
It's your call. It's up to you.
- Let's go.
- Yes.
Jen, you made it.
Come on in.
Hey everybody, this
is Jen from my work.
Our work, our horrible work.
Oh, I'm sorry.
This is Jenn-O the Clown.
I think you know Emma from our
mutual workplace of misery.
Jenn-O doesn't talk, does she?
Hmm.
Well this ought to be fun.
I mean it.
You do you, Jen.
I mean, Jenn-O.
Come on.
This is it.
Steve Friend and Jennifer
Sullivan, married in five years.
Good for them.
I freaking hate clowns.
Oh, you wimp.
The unflappable
Lauren Marshall
isn't afraid of anything?
Nope.
Horses?
You shut up about horses.
Okay.
I am not playing with you.
Uh huh.
This is the police.
Steve or Jennifer,
are you inside?
If there is a
horse head in there,
I'm gonna kick your ass.
I will go full Sonny Corleone.
Jake, where's a trash can?
I'm gonna kick your
with a trash can.
Okay, game face, you.
I'll check around back.
You stay here.
Police.
Mr. Sullivan.
Barnes, come around back.
Mr. Friend is dead.
So, you really
don't talk at all?
Really?
Like I bet I could do
something to make you talk.
You have the blackest
eyes I've ever seen.
They're gorgeous.
I love her hair.
Look at that.
It's such a beautiful shade.
It's so soft.
You probably want
a type of guy
You probably wanna see him
Oh, okay.
Cheers.
You better come again
A lot of people
changed on me
I took that on the chin
They said I'd never change
Now you want me till the end
Still no word on the Mrs?
Yeah, I just keep getting
the same stupid voicemail.
You have reached
Jenn-O the Clown's
answering service.
Have an APB out on her car.
Just see if she's
got any family in town.
Already on it.
Hey, can't reach her mom,
but she's got a
sister, Brittany Evans.
She's not with
her sister though?
No.
And her sister doesn't
know where she is?
Nope.
Call her back.
Tell her to meet me
at their mom's house.
All right.
Where is Ryan and Jen?
Oh.
I think so.
Okay, okay.
Am I good enough
For you
Am I good enough
For you
Am I
For you
Am I
For you
Your sister's car is there?
No, no, do not go inside.
I'm almost there.
Do you have a key?
Yeah.
Can I have it please?
Why? I'm not going inside?
No.
Why?
Because your
brother-in-law is dead
and we may have a
crime scene here.
What, Steve?
Key, please.
You wait over by
your car, Mrs. Evans.
Mrs. Sullivan?
Barnes?
- Yeah.
The forensic unit
almost done over there?
Yeah.
Yeah, have them get over here
to the elder Sullivan's house.
She's been murdered also.
All right, I'll send them.
We got a report of a hit
and run over on
Connister, one fatality.
Goddammit.
We're being stretched thin.
Call Sam with Douglas County.
Tell them, tell
them we need help.
- Where do you want me?
- Her clown car is here.
It's got blood on the front.
You go to the hit and run.
Got it.
Shit.
Mrs. Evans, your
mother is gone.
What was your sister's
relationship with your mother like?
Strained.
And with her husband?
She hated that pig.
Wait, you think she did this?
Victims almost
always know they're
Jen is a lot of things.
She is not a killer.
She would never do this.
Well, regardless, we need to
find her as soon as possible.
If she didn't do this,
she could be in danger.
Right?
Right.
She's a homebody.
About the only place she
ever goes is Penguin Park
to do her clowning.
Penguin Park?
Have they been up there
fucking for an hour?
Up there?
Hmm?
Yeah.
Hold on.
Favorite song
playing on the radio
Hey, fuck buddies.
You know it's rude to
keep fucking all night,
ignoring everyone.
Hello?
All right.
If you're not coming
out, I'm coming in,
so get ready for a three-way,
you sexy motherfuckers.
Two of you, huh?
Excuse me, can I help you?
"I am Jenn-O the Clown."
That's great.
You see there's a line, right?
Sorry folks, just one second.
"How long does it take?"
Should take you
about a half an hour
to get through the whole thing.
Do you have a ticket?
Well, a private tour
is gonna cost extra.
Do you have any
money for a ticket?
Yeah.
No, that's not gonna work.
You need real money.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
I can't do that.
It's time for you to go now.
Thank you.
Okay, folks. QR
code's out, phones up.
Are you serious?
All right, folks.
We're having a
maintenance issue.
Give us five, 10 minutes.
Come on in, girly, come on up.
If it takes any longer...
All agents, please respond
to 8736 North Charlotte
for potential homicide.
Fuck.
Barnes.
You want me to meet you there?
No, you know what?
Let's just set this one out.
Yes!
Oh.
Folks, our maintenance
issue's actually gonna take
about 30 minutes.
We'll get back to
you very, very soon.
We appreciate your patience.
Have your phones out and ready.
We'll let you know, all right?
Hey, what about that
clown that just went in?
Yeah.
She works here.
She's actually our
maintenance lady.
As soon as we hear from
her, I'll let you know.
All right?
Girl who found the body
is puking her guts out.
The others?
It's her.
Wearing a clown costume.
We found it under the bed.
She and the decedent were
coworkers apparently.
You talk to the others here?
See if they know
she might've went?
They didn't see her leave.
Stoners.
Thank you.
They don't know
where she went.
We need to find her.
She's not gonna stop.
- We're missing something.
- Of course.
Why are we just standing here?
Let's get out and find her.
She might be on foot
for all we fucking know.
Huh?
Nothing like looking
for a clown on Halloween.
Get the hell out of
the way, hammerhead.
Jesus.
Hammerhead?
What?
I just watched "Dirty Harry."
Oh, you're stupid.
Is that why you put
in for a model 29?
Okay, it's not like we
actually use our guns.
That thing will be more useful
from an intimidation standpoint.
Oh, my, that's a big one.
Whatever.
It's not like you carry an M9.
Hey, do not say
that piece of shit's name.
Okay.
"Lethal Weapon."
You know, that
was my dad's gun.
And "Die Hard."
Let's try the house again.
Patrol cops can roam the streets.
Got it.
God, what are
you doing? Are you okay?
Ow.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Why would you do that?
What?
Well, she's gotta
be far enough along.
One second, folks.
He can't even get in.
Be right there.
Come on.
- Bingo.
- What?
Got a costume picture of her?
She's got a dozen
costumes, dingus.
Hey, hey, hey. What
about, what about this?
What about it?
You think she could be there?
She could be anywhere.
Well, I'm done here.
Wanna go check it out?
Sure.
And you guys are supposed
to be the best one in town?
Sorry, folks. We're
having a A bit of an issue.
Yeah. No shit.
Don't fuck with me.
What is it, my dear?
You are sad.
Afraid that it's
so easy to tell.
I can help you.
How, my child?
Yes, this is Chris over
at the Haunted Cinema.
Well, I'm not sure if
it's an emergency or not,
but this crazy woman, she
was dressed as a clown,
but she paid extra for...
Guys.
Oh.
Dispatch to 4152.
We're here.
- Just got a call from-
- Haunted Cinema?
10-4.
Potential female suspect,
dressed as a clown,
requested a private tour
then barricaded herself inside.
Send all available units.
We're already on our way.
- Address is 43-
- We know where it is.
Floor it. Go, go, go, go.
Oh shit.
Well, it's about goddamn time.
Is this the only way in?
There's a back door,
but you're not
getting in that way.
It's exit only.
Let's go break through.
Excuse me?
Hey, those doors are expensive.
Come on.
- I'll reimburse you.
How am I supposed
to lock up tonight?
What was she wearing?
I don't know.
She looked like, like
a punk rock clown.
And this back door, she
can get out from the inside.
Yes, of course.
She could have
already left then.
No, I don't think so.
I get an alert on my phone
anytime that back door opens.
She's still in there.
I'm gonna go run back.
I'm telling you, you're
not gonna find your way back.
Can you please go stand
over there somewhere, please.
Thank you so much.
If I can't find a way
in, you flush her out.
I'll take care of her.
Pleasure.
We got her.
Hey, police, open up!
Jen, you have no way out.
Give up, it's over.
Drop the gun,
Jen, you don't
have to do this.
Lower your weapons.
You're not getting away.
I'm a good shot. I could hit
you in the eye from here.
Just take the shot.
We know who you are,
Jennifer Sullivan.
That's my mom's name!
No!
No makeup.
You can talk.
What's your name?
I'm Detective Marshall.
How's your partner?
Oh, good.
So is your mother,
your husband,
your coworker, that
old man you ran over,
and eight haunted
house employees.
Only eight?
The guy playing the
mummy is still alive.
He's got third degree
burns over 95% of his body
and he wishes he were dead.
No, his penis burned
to a crisp, fell off.
You should probably
ask 'em what pronouns
they wanna go by.
Fuck you.
It's okay.
13's a good number.
Yeah, networks are already
requesting interviews from you.
It's disgusting.
It's glorious.
I'm finally famous.
Do you know what?
I thought that I would go on
a few interviews of my own,
maybe take your sister.
We could tell the whole world
what a big loser you are.
How you, how'd she phrase it?
Pissed away all your potential.
It's boring, average.
Jennifer Sullivan,
just like your mother.
Nice try.
And it's Jennifer
Renee Sullivan now.
Wouldn't wanna confuse me
with all the other
Jennifer Sullivans
in the world now, would we?
The boring ones.
You know I missed your
subclavian artery by half an inch,
so I delayed the paramedics
because I wanted to
watch you bleed out.
You, you are one stubborn prick.
You're grittier than you look.
You'll get put down for this.
Death always went
with the territory,
and death can't kill fame.
Lethal injection.
It's too humane for
someone like you.
Lethal injection.
That's for chumps.
It's gotta be Old Sparky.
I'll be there.
We'll see.
Do your job
When you leave
Turning away
This time
The line that runs
away from here
Another one left behind
These doors are wrong
I can't tell
That magic charm of yours
I lay the memory
Better than shadows
That life, the long spite
The other girl
Everyone
Is it worth this long
Tomorrow
And it never ends
Ah
Listen to her, Jen.
Lower your weapons.
You're not getting
away. I'm a good shot.
I could hit you in
the eye from here.
Just take the shot.
We know who you are,
Jennifer Sullivan.
That's my mom's name.
No!
Sit down.
Can we go see the clown?
What is it with
you and clowns?
No, we gotta go to the store.
Come on, get in there.
And a pack of
The usual?
Yes.
Thanks, Robert.
Say, Robert, are you
ever gonna do anything
about that drab out front?
Oh, Bill?
Nah.
He could ruin your business.
Not when I'm the only business
within a full square block.
Ah, thanks Bob.
- Yep. See you next time.
- Mm-hmm.
You too, sweetheart.
Oh, what do you say?
Thank you.
Anytime, darling,
Come along, dear.
Mom, can we help him?
Get in the car, Jen, now.
Don't make me get out the
wooden spoon when we get home.
Okay, come on.
Yes?
Did anyone get the extra
credit question right?
Just one of you.
Who was it?
That would be Ms. Sullivan.
Brainiac.
Wow.
Some amazing artwork, Jen.
Thanks.
Tell me about it. How
does it make you feel?
Happy,
Howdy.
Well, howdy to you.
You're Jethro, aren't you?
Oh, yes ma'am.
You hear any music?
- No, should I?
- Yeah.
I should too, but
I don't, darn it.
If you'll wait,
I'll hum something for you.
What do you say, chief?
Oh, Jethro.
Nice to see you.
- Hi, miss Jake.
- How's the science coming?
I'm working on it.
Look, mom, I'm the only one
who got the extra
credit question right.
Oh, that's great.
I'm so happy for you.
My little prodigy.
Someday you're gonna
be rich and famous.
You're gonna have everything
you've ever wanted.
You're gonna be somebody.
Now go get ready for dinner.
Okay, mama.
This is going on
the refrigerator.
"This is going on
the refrigerator."
Stop.
Make me, bitch.
Jen, what the hell?
I didn't let you have
a TV in your room
so you could watch this trash
or stay up past your bedtime.
This better not happen again.
Jen.
Oh, she must have
gotten into the makeup.
It's fine.
Don't, don't, don't
worry about it.
We can get it.
We got it.
Hey, hey, Nicole.
What are you doing up?
I asked you a question,
Mom.
I think I started my period.
Well, now you can get pregnant.
What do you want?
I think I got my, my period
and I don't know what to do.
Just go get a tampon
out of the bathroom.
Okay.
Mom, who's John Wayne Gacy?
I don't know, dear.
Is he a clown?
I said, I don't know.
John Wayne was a
famous actor, though.
PFW Bank has
been serving this community
for over 20 years
and taking care of all
your savings needs.
- Oh, Jen, it's on.
- The Majestic Savings Plan
to take care of you and yours.
But don't just take
our word for it.
With the Majestic Savings
Plan, someday I'll be able
to retire without being
a burden to my family.
With the Majestic Savings
Plan, I can go to college
and make all my
dreams come true.
My little superstar.
Girls, time for dinner.
Jen, come on.
Where's your sister?
Where is your sister?
I don't know.
She was on the bus ride home.
Last I saw her, she was
tying her shoe out front.
You are in big
trouble, young lady.
Brittany, go upstairs.
Now, put your left hand here.
Take off your hat.
Raise your right hand.
Will you get rid of that hat?
Raise your right hand.
Raise your right hand.
Do you solemnly swear to
Huh?
Do you solemnly swear truth?
Are you trying to
give me the double talk?
Do you solemnly swear
to tell the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth?
Why don't you answer him?
- Boo!
- Jesus Christ.
You know, you
really can't do that
to your subordinates.
I'm like 20 years away
from retirement, you know?
Well, never said I was
a good boss.
Cartoon section for you.
Yes.
What you got?
There's that assault
case over at the university.
Ah, yeah.
Yes.
Oh, and Halloween's
in a couple weeks.
Always fun.
Where do you think
it'll be this year?
Burning Pumpkins.
Burning pumpkins?
Yeah, like filled
with gasoline,
on fire in the
middle of the street.
Why...
I hope that's all.
You did that as a
kid, didn't you?
I'm pleading the fifth.
Hey.
I'll tell you what,
that's all that happens,
dinner's on me.
You've got yourself a deal.
Take this off.
Take this off.
Now take it easy.
We'll have you all
fixed up in a minute.
Oh, happy birthday.
Hold this.
You still at GCI?
Yeah.
How much are you
pulling in again?
Well, my last paycheck
was a little over 900.
Ah, for a week?
No, two.
What a joke.
What is it you do there?
You you punch forms all day.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's sad.
I do my clowning almost
every day after work,
on the weekends too.
I'm sure that's lucrative.
What's that bring in,
a couple dollars a day?
Make sure you remember to
report that on your taxes.
I don't know how to
be rich and famous, Mom.
And bringing smiles
to those kids' faces
is the only thing
that makes me happy.
Hmm.
Well, if you'd had gotten
your head out of your ass
and followed your brain
instead of your heart,
you'd be much happier.
Valedictorian of
your high school.
You could've gone
to any college.
But instead you stayed here.
For what?
A philosophy degree.
Mm.
Probably should
have gotten a degree
in order flipping.
You could have been an engineer,
a doctor, like your sister,
an actor, an actuary, anything,
but instead, low paying
job after low paying job.
Didn't even marry well.
He was a lawyer
when we got married.
Hmm, yeah.
And then he got disbarred
for soliciting a minor.
Hmm.
What is wrong with you
that he has to try to take
pictures of a 16-year-old girl?
He doesn't want me.
Who would?
Some namesake.
Hey, come here.
What were your
numbers last month?
Wow.
Not gonna be enough for them.
No, but I don't
even care anymore.
Right?
Fuck this place.
Yeah, we need
to get outta here.
Want to?
Have you seen that
new series on Dahmer?
Oh, I have seen it, twice.
Yeah?
It's pretty good so far.
I don't wanna
spoil it for you,
but I think he kills
someone though.
Girl, I'm about
to start killing people here,
starting with our
work lead over there.
Oh yeah. That's a
murder I'd like in on.
- Yeah?
- Mm-hmm.
Okay.
When do you wanna do
it? How do we do it?
I mean, no time like
the present, right?
You know?
Ice pick.
Ooh.
Ooh, brutal.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
- Tonight.
If you please, Doctor.
Doctor.
Here.
Say, I forgot to tell you
when the afternoon
papers come out,
you're gonna be famous.
How come?
Please omit the
rest of the entertainment.
Do you mind if I sit here?
Not at all.
PB and J, lunch of champions.
Right?
Or those of us unfortunate
enough to work here.
Okay, so standard
conversation starter.
What are your three
favorite movies?
You like movies, right?
- I love movies.
- Great.
So what are your favorites?
Hmm.
You tell me yours first.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
So I'm gonna go with
"Back to the Future,"
"Sideways," and "No
Country for Old Men."
What are yours?
So hard.
Gun to my head?
- BB Gun.
Okay.
Well I love black
and white horror,
classic movie monsters.
"Frankenstein."
Actually, "Bride of
Frankenstein" is better.
What about modern favorites?
"Starry Eyes,"
"Monster Squad."
And any version of "Dracula,"
though Coppola's is my favorite.
What is it about Dracula?
The idea of acquiring
power through consumption,
even if it means taking
it from what you love.
"Monster Squad"
sounds familiar.
It's basically "The Goonies"
fighting the classic
movie monsters.
What was the last one?
"Starry Eyes."
Yeah. Never heard of it.
Oh, so meta.
Has my favorite acting
performance of all time.
What's it about?
Realizing your
dreams at all costs,
even if it means selling
your soul to the devil.
Sorta like "Faust."
So what are your dreams?
Well, fortune and
glory, of course.
Okay, so based on
your movie choices,
I'm gonna go out on a limb
and guess that Halloween
is your favorite holiday.
Oh, you wouldn't be wrong.
Well, if you're free,
I'm having a Halloween
party on Saturday.
If you wanna come.
You're married, aren't you?
Your husband is welcome too.
Not anymore.
I'm free.
I'll try to make it.
Cool.
Cool.
Hi, mom.
Hi, hun.
You coming over for
Halloween to pass out candy?
I don't think so.
Actually, I just got
invited to a party.
Whose party?
Some coworkers.
Oh, so some coworkers
are more important than
your own flesh and blood.
Thanks a lot.
Can't Brittany do it?
And miss taking your
niece trick or treating?
I don't think so.
You know, Jen, I really
have a hard time with you.
You're always so disappointing.
I mean like the
simplest little thing.
Why can't you cooperate
like a family and do
- Okay.
- Okay, what?
Okay, I'll be there.
Thank you for blessing
us with your presence.
Don't forget to bring the candy.
Can I help you?
Oh, yeah.
I was kinda actually
looking for a gun.
Okay, what kind of
gun are you looking for?
I'm not really sure.
Okay, let me put
it to you this way.
What will you be
using the gun for?
Target practice?
Oh, no, protection.
Like something I
can keep in my bag.
I've got just
the thing for you.
Oh, that's
beautiful. I like it.
Now don't let
its size fool you.
It may be small, but
it packs a wallop,
and it is compact enough it
can fit in your backpack.
You can even put it in
your pocket if you want.
I'll take it.
Okay.
I just need to see your ID
so I can do a background check.
Okay, this will
just take a moment.
Okay, you are good to go.
I just need you to
fill out a form.
Can I buy some
bullets for it too?
You sure can. How
much do you want?
Oh, one box maybe.
Okay, so that comes
out to 175 even.
Say, do you think you could
show me how to use the thing?
I've never owned a gun before.
Okay, so you flip
this lever here to check
and see if it's loaded, and
always assume that it is.
Then you just take two bullets,
put it in the two
barrels here, reset,
flip the lever, and
you're ready to go.
Now the safety on this
gun is that it won't fire
unless you cock the
hammer back, like so.
And then you just
pull the trigger.
That seems easy enough.
Ma'am, I would
highly recommend
you take a firearm
safety course.
Promise me you'll do that.
I will.
Jeffrey was a boy
He didn't like his toys
Jeffrey was a boy
Well, aren't you going
to say trick or treat?
Come on in.
Can't believe you
wore that in public.
Will you please
take that stuff off?
You know, I told
you I don't like it
when you wear that over here.
You're 30 years old.
Would you just talk?
Cut the act. I'm your mother.
Well, clowns talk.
I mean, think of Bozo or
Krusty the clown, huh?
Ugh.
Uh...
"There's a long history
of silent clowns dating back
to 19th century traveling
shows in Europe."
Is this the 1800s?
Oh, come on.
We can pass out candy together.
You brought it right?
I swear.
Once a loser, always a loser,
just like your dad.
That gun looks a little
small to shoot out a banner
that says I'm pathetic on it.
I am going to be somebody.
Trick or treat.
Oxycodone?
Hmm?
Watch where
you're going, bozo.
Police department.
Okay.
Yeah.
And how long have you
been in contact with him?
Okay.
And when was the last time
you heard from your son?
Steven Friend, 743
Evergreen Terrace.
And your name?
Okay, we will do a well check
and we'll call you back.
Yes.
Yes, ma'am.
We are doing a well check?
Send a patrol officer.
I know you're
on your computer,
but I mean, can you say
that you're not bored?
Touche.
So, what do you say?
It's your call. It's up to you.
- Let's go.
- Yes.
Jen, you made it.
Come on in.
Hey everybody, this
is Jen from my work.
Our work, our horrible work.
Oh, I'm sorry.
This is Jenn-O the Clown.
I think you know Emma from our
mutual workplace of misery.
Jenn-O doesn't talk, does she?
Hmm.
Well this ought to be fun.
I mean it.
You do you, Jen.
I mean, Jenn-O.
Come on.
This is it.
Steve Friend and Jennifer
Sullivan, married in five years.
Good for them.
I freaking hate clowns.
Oh, you wimp.
The unflappable
Lauren Marshall
isn't afraid of anything?
Nope.
Horses?
You shut up about horses.
Okay.
I am not playing with you.
Uh huh.
This is the police.
Steve or Jennifer,
are you inside?
If there is a
horse head in there,
I'm gonna kick your ass.
I will go full Sonny Corleone.
Jake, where's a trash can?
I'm gonna kick your
with a trash can.
Okay, game face, you.
I'll check around back.
You stay here.
Police.
Mr. Sullivan.
Barnes, come around back.
Mr. Friend is dead.
So, you really
don't talk at all?
Really?
Like I bet I could do
something to make you talk.
You have the blackest
eyes I've ever seen.
They're gorgeous.
I love her hair.
Look at that.
It's such a beautiful shade.
It's so soft.
You probably want
a type of guy
You probably wanna see him
Oh, okay.
Cheers.
You better come again
A lot of people
changed on me
I took that on the chin
They said I'd never change
Now you want me till the end
Still no word on the Mrs?
Yeah, I just keep getting
the same stupid voicemail.
You have reached
Jenn-O the Clown's
answering service.
Have an APB out on her car.
Just see if she's
got any family in town.
Already on it.
Hey, can't reach her mom,
but she's got a
sister, Brittany Evans.
She's not with
her sister though?
No.
And her sister doesn't
know where she is?
Nope.
Call her back.
Tell her to meet me
at their mom's house.
All right.
Where is Ryan and Jen?
Oh.
I think so.
Okay, okay.
Am I good enough
For you
Am I good enough
For you
Am I
For you
Am I
For you
Your sister's car is there?
No, no, do not go inside.
I'm almost there.
Do you have a key?
Yeah.
Can I have it please?
Why? I'm not going inside?
No.
Why?
Because your
brother-in-law is dead
and we may have a
crime scene here.
What, Steve?
Key, please.
You wait over by
your car, Mrs. Evans.
Mrs. Sullivan?
Barnes?
- Yeah.
The forensic unit
almost done over there?
Yeah.
Yeah, have them get over here
to the elder Sullivan's house.
She's been murdered also.
All right, I'll send them.
We got a report of a hit
and run over on
Connister, one fatality.
Goddammit.
We're being stretched thin.
Call Sam with Douglas County.
Tell them, tell
them we need help.
- Where do you want me?
- Her clown car is here.
It's got blood on the front.
You go to the hit and run.
Got it.
Shit.
Mrs. Evans, your
mother is gone.
What was your sister's
relationship with your mother like?
Strained.
And with her husband?
She hated that pig.
Wait, you think she did this?
Victims almost
always know they're
Jen is a lot of things.
She is not a killer.
She would never do this.
Well, regardless, we need to
find her as soon as possible.
If she didn't do this,
she could be in danger.
Right?
Right.
She's a homebody.
About the only place she
ever goes is Penguin Park
to do her clowning.
Penguin Park?
Have they been up there
fucking for an hour?
Up there?
Hmm?
Yeah.
Hold on.
Favorite song
playing on the radio
Hey, fuck buddies.
You know it's rude to
keep fucking all night,
ignoring everyone.
Hello?
All right.
If you're not coming
out, I'm coming in,
so get ready for a three-way,
you sexy motherfuckers.
Two of you, huh?
Excuse me, can I help you?
"I am Jenn-O the Clown."
That's great.
You see there's a line, right?
Sorry folks, just one second.
"How long does it take?"
Should take you
about a half an hour
to get through the whole thing.
Do you have a ticket?
Well, a private tour
is gonna cost extra.
Do you have any
money for a ticket?
Yeah.
No, that's not gonna work.
You need real money.
Oh, no, I'm sorry.
I can't do that.
It's time for you to go now.
Thank you.
Okay, folks. QR
code's out, phones up.
Are you serious?
All right, folks.
We're having a
maintenance issue.
Give us five, 10 minutes.
Come on in, girly, come on up.
If it takes any longer...
All agents, please respond
to 8736 North Charlotte
for potential homicide.
Fuck.
Barnes.
You want me to meet you there?
No, you know what?
Let's just set this one out.
Yes!
Oh.
Folks, our maintenance
issue's actually gonna take
about 30 minutes.
We'll get back to
you very, very soon.
We appreciate your patience.
Have your phones out and ready.
We'll let you know, all right?
Hey, what about that
clown that just went in?
Yeah.
She works here.
She's actually our
maintenance lady.
As soon as we hear from
her, I'll let you know.
All right?
Girl who found the body
is puking her guts out.
The others?
It's her.
Wearing a clown costume.
We found it under the bed.
She and the decedent were
coworkers apparently.
You talk to the others here?
See if they know
she might've went?
They didn't see her leave.
Stoners.
Thank you.
They don't know
where she went.
We need to find her.
She's not gonna stop.
- We're missing something.
- Of course.
Why are we just standing here?
Let's get out and find her.
She might be on foot
for all we fucking know.
Huh?
Nothing like looking
for a clown on Halloween.
Get the hell out of
the way, hammerhead.
Jesus.
Hammerhead?
What?
I just watched "Dirty Harry."
Oh, you're stupid.
Is that why you put
in for a model 29?
Okay, it's not like we
actually use our guns.
That thing will be more useful
from an intimidation standpoint.
Oh, my, that's a big one.
Whatever.
It's not like you carry an M9.
Hey, do not say
that piece of shit's name.
Okay.
"Lethal Weapon."
You know, that
was my dad's gun.
And "Die Hard."
Let's try the house again.
Patrol cops can roam the streets.
Got it.
God, what are
you doing? Are you okay?
Ow.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Why would you do that?
What?
Well, she's gotta
be far enough along.
One second, folks.
He can't even get in.
Be right there.
Come on.
- Bingo.
- What?
Got a costume picture of her?
She's got a dozen
costumes, dingus.
Hey, hey, hey. What
about, what about this?
What about it?
You think she could be there?
She could be anywhere.
Well, I'm done here.
Wanna go check it out?
Sure.
And you guys are supposed
to be the best one in town?
Sorry, folks. We're
having a A bit of an issue.
Yeah. No shit.
Don't fuck with me.
What is it, my dear?
You are sad.
Afraid that it's
so easy to tell.
I can help you.
How, my child?
Yes, this is Chris over
at the Haunted Cinema.
Well, I'm not sure if
it's an emergency or not,
but this crazy woman, she
was dressed as a clown,
but she paid extra for...
Guys.
Oh.
Dispatch to 4152.
We're here.
- Just got a call from-
- Haunted Cinema?
10-4.
Potential female suspect,
dressed as a clown,
requested a private tour
then barricaded herself inside.
Send all available units.
We're already on our way.
- Address is 43-
- We know where it is.
Floor it. Go, go, go, go.
Oh shit.
Well, it's about goddamn time.
Is this the only way in?
There's a back door,
but you're not
getting in that way.
It's exit only.
Let's go break through.
Excuse me?
Hey, those doors are expensive.
Come on.
- I'll reimburse you.
How am I supposed
to lock up tonight?
What was she wearing?
I don't know.
She looked like, like
a punk rock clown.
And this back door, she
can get out from the inside.
Yes, of course.
She could have
already left then.
No, I don't think so.
I get an alert on my phone
anytime that back door opens.
She's still in there.
I'm gonna go run back.
I'm telling you, you're
not gonna find your way back.
Can you please go stand
over there somewhere, please.
Thank you so much.
If I can't find a way
in, you flush her out.
I'll take care of her.
Pleasure.
We got her.
Hey, police, open up!
Jen, you have no way out.
Give up, it's over.
Drop the gun,
Jen, you don't
have to do this.
Lower your weapons.
You're not getting away.
I'm a good shot. I could hit
you in the eye from here.
Just take the shot.
We know who you are,
Jennifer Sullivan.
That's my mom's name!
No!
No makeup.
You can talk.
What's your name?
I'm Detective Marshall.
How's your partner?
Oh, good.
So is your mother,
your husband,
your coworker, that
old man you ran over,
and eight haunted
house employees.
Only eight?
The guy playing the
mummy is still alive.
He's got third degree
burns over 95% of his body
and he wishes he were dead.
No, his penis burned
to a crisp, fell off.
You should probably
ask 'em what pronouns
they wanna go by.
Fuck you.
It's okay.
13's a good number.
Yeah, networks are already
requesting interviews from you.
It's disgusting.
It's glorious.
I'm finally famous.
Do you know what?
I thought that I would go on
a few interviews of my own,
maybe take your sister.
We could tell the whole world
what a big loser you are.
How you, how'd she phrase it?
Pissed away all your potential.
It's boring, average.
Jennifer Sullivan,
just like your mother.
Nice try.
And it's Jennifer
Renee Sullivan now.
Wouldn't wanna confuse me
with all the other
Jennifer Sullivans
in the world now, would we?
The boring ones.
You know I missed your
subclavian artery by half an inch,
so I delayed the paramedics
because I wanted to
watch you bleed out.
You, you are one stubborn prick.
You're grittier than you look.
You'll get put down for this.
Death always went
with the territory,
and death can't kill fame.
Lethal injection.
It's too humane for
someone like you.
Lethal injection.
That's for chumps.
It's gotta be Old Sparky.
I'll be there.
We'll see.
Do your job
When you leave
Turning away
This time
The line that runs
away from here
Another one left behind
These doors are wrong
I can't tell
That magic charm of yours
I lay the memory
Better than shadows
That life, the long spite
The other girl
Everyone
Is it worth this long
Tomorrow
And it never ends
Ah
