Why are you all just standing here? Do something, damn it!
Laurie Strode I always knew he'd come back. In this town, Michael Myers is a myth. He's the Boogeyman. A ghost story to scare kids. But this Boogeyman is real. An evil like his never stops, it just grows older. Darker. More determined. Forty years ago, he came to my home to kill. He killed my friends, and now he's back to finish what he started, with me. The one person who's ready to stop him.
Laurie Strode Happy Halloween, Michael.
Laurie Strode He's waited for this night... he's waited for me... I've waited for him...
Laurie Strode He is a killer. But he will be killed tonight.
Laurie Strode Stay here. I've got to finish this.
Laurie Strode Oh, you're the new Loomis.
Did you know our friend Hawkins here was the first responding deputy when Michael was apprehended in the 1978? He stopped Loomis from killing Michael that night.
Laurie Strode Do you know that I pray every night that he would escape?
What the hell do you do that for?
Laurie Strode So I can kill him.
Well, that was a dumb thing to pray for.
Laurie Strode You don't believe in the Boogeyman?
I believe in Michael Myers, a deranged serial killer, but the Boogeyman? No.
Laurie Strode Well, you should.
Laurie Strode I need to protect my family. You have no security system, Karen.
Mom, you need help!
Laurie Strode Evil is real.
Laurie Strode The bus crashed.
Michael Myers escaped.
He returned to Haddonfield. His home.
Okay. Well. Having witnessed the animal in it's captive state and failed to provoke any sort of response, we now track down it's counterpart. Could it be that one monster has created another? And, although, iron bars and barbed wire that separate them are strong and sharp, the metaphysical lines are blurred and slight. Both exist in isolation, fettered by their own fear and hatred of one another. Could it be that the only hope of rehabilitation is through confrontation?
"Access has been denied. Private Property. No Trespassing". You might need this. [She hands Aaron an envelope]
Laurie Strode Yes.
Yes. Um... we're looking for Laurie Strode. [No response from Laurie] Aaron Korey: We're, uh, um... we're... we're... making a podcast and...
We're investigative journalists.
If you have a moment. We traveled a very long way. [Still no response]
How does $3000 sound? [Laurie unlocks the gates and allows Aaron and Dana on through. then after ringing the doorbell and Laurie unlocks the front door] Hello.
May we come in and sit down and talk?
So, Aaron and I have made several award-winning public radio exposés. Our last project shed new light on a murder case from 20 years ago. We like to re-examine incidents with an unbiased lens. I believe there's a lot to learn from the horrors you experienced.
Laurie Strode There's nothing to learn. There are no new incites or... discoveries.
So, is he real?
Laurie Strode Who?
The boogeyman. I read you quoted...
Laurie Strode You don't believe in the boogeyman?
I believe in Michael Myers, deranged serial killer. But... the boogeyman, no.
Laurie Strode Well, you should.
Okay.
Michael Myers is a human being who killed his sister when he was six years old. Then he came after you. We just want to know why. We want a glimpse inside his mind. That's why your story's so important.
Laurie Strode My story?
Two failed marriages. Rocky relationship with your daughter and granddaughter.
Laurie Strode Michael Myers killed five people... and he's a human being we need to understand? I'm twice divorced... and I'm a "basket case".
They're transferring him.
Laurie Strode Tomorrow, 7:30.
He'll be locked away until the end of days.
Laurie Strode That's the idea.
Let's talk about when the state came to take away your daughter away. She was 12 years old. They said you were an unfit mother. How long until you regained custody?
Laurie Strode I didn't. But you already knew that.
Laurie, we saw him. We met with Michael. I showed him the mask. There was nothing. No response. Nothing. He won't talk to anyone. Never has, but... I think he might speak with you. So, why don't you sit down with him and say all the things you must be longing to say. Come with us, and let us help you free yourself. Please.
Laurie Strode Time's up. I'll accept my payment. Get out.
I can't accept this.
Laurie Strode Use it for whatever your heart desires.
I'll save it for college, then.
Laurie Strode **** college. Go somewhere. Go to Mexico.
Could you imagine?
Laurie Strode Yeah, I can. Look, don't worry about your mom. She will freak. But she'll get over it.
Why can't you? The Boogeyman? All this hiding, all this preparation, it was for nothing. It took priority over your family. It cost you your family.
Laurie Strode The way I raised your mother means that she hates me... but that's she prepared for the horror's of this world, then I can live with that.
Say good-bye to Michael, and get over it.
Laurie Strode Good-bye.
