Gather round, little friends!
Gather round
and feast your eyes
on the amazing Pennywise, the Dancing Clown!
Oh! Oh-ho!
Aw!
Lively crowd.
I'll wager it's even bigger tonight.
Oh, you'll wager now, would you?
No more hanging about with the card sharps.
I wish you could hear the way they talk about you, Papa.
Papa, you make them so happy.
Yes, that's something.
That's good. That's good.
Now, what are you doing back there, pumpkin, hmm?
Ta-da!
I've been working on my face. I wanted to surprise you.
My beautiful girl! Look at you!
Show me the bow.
Ladies and gentlemen!
For your amusement,
the Santini Brothers' Carnival proudly presents
the first father and daughter act in its history,
the Pennywise and Periwinkle Show.
Periwinkle?
That was Mom's stage name.
Yeah.
Well, you can change it if you like.
No. I love it.
Good.
Papa, do you ever miss the circus?
Sometimes.
I miss the big crowds. Sure.
The roars.
Mm-hmm.
One day...
the big tent will come a-callin' again.
You'll see.
But, this time, my act will be different.
Something new.
Something no one's ever seen before.
You.
Now, wouldn't that be something?
Gather round, friends. Gather round.
Pennywise the Dancing Clown show will be on again
in about half an hour, you don't want to miss it.
Go grab your mothers and your brothers.
Go grab your granny...
Oh.
Oh, damn it! It's all coming off.
All coming off.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
Hello?
Who's there?
Oh. Hello there, little fella.
What are you looking at? Show's thataway.
Scram.
The children seem drawn to you.
That's a strange thing for a young man to say.
I can't find my parents.
Me neither.
They're dead.
Will you help me find them?
No.
Can't you see I'm busy?
What was that?
That's my mother.
Have you seen my father?
Oh, he's just gone?
Let's just take it easy.
We don't know exactly what happened.
Are you sure it's his? - Jesus. Right there.
Who could have done this? - I don't know anything
- until we find some trace of him. - No body?
- Oh my word. - I got folks combing the woods,
but it's more than likely something dragged him off.
- Oh God. - I have no idea.
Boss, boss.
Found it in the woods.
Wolves, maybe.
They roam these parts.
Papa! Papa!
Hey, Reg. We got trouble.
Good evening.
Excuse the interruption, folks.
Now...
I'm gonna make this real simple.
Give us what we want, and we go away.
Norma? Norma Price?
Norma Price?
You should be ashamed.
Go home. Now!
Go on.
What do you want?
Hank Grogan.
We know he's hiding here somewhere.
You hand him over, and you can get back to your party.
Oh, no, no, no.
Seem you fellas got some bad information.
See, this here, it's just a rec facility
for military personnel only.
Well, then you won't mind if we have a quick look around?
- Say we do. - We're not asking.
- Look, I'm here. - Daddy, no!
- Baby girl. Baby. - No! No!
Look, I don't want no bloodshed over me!
I'll go. Just leave these good people alone.
You're doing the right thing.
I don't think so.
Now, there's no need for this to get messy, son.
Now, would you look at that? We got guns too.
Ours just happen to be government issue.
I suggest you fellas leave.
Ain't nobody getting strung up today.
Put 'em down, boys.
Put 'em down. Put 'em down.
He's right.
This isn't the way.
Everybody out. Come on.
What are we supposed to do with you now?
You know they're coming back.
We got a truck out back.
Get him there, sneak him out.
Fuck. They chained it shut.
Is there another way out?
Check the back. Check the back!
Women and kids in the middle of the room now!
Hey, call the guys on base. I'll check the phones.
No, phone's not working.
Somebody's wrong with it.
Stay calm. Stay calm.
Stay alert. Stay alert.
Take care of yourselves, fellas.
- Do it! - Something's going on.
Stay calm.
Watch out!
Get 'em out! Get 'em out!
Go, go! Check the back. Check the back.
- Reggie, go, go, go, go! - Let's go! Hurry, come on!
Come on!
Come on! Hey! Door's shut too!
Shit!
Hey, yo. I need ammo. Ammo!
Get down!
- Get in here! - Down!
Go! Go, go, go! Move!
Don't go that way. They're on both sides.
Fuck!
Get down! Get down!
Ronnie! Daddy!
Will, get up. Are you okay?
- You okay? - I can't see anything!
Ronnie! Will! Ronnie!
Daddy?
Where's my dad?
Please! Where's my dad?
- Daddy! - I got you!
Let go! Please!
My arm!
Rich! It's hot!
Hold still!
Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!
Frankie! Frankie!
Frankie! Snap out of it!
Come on.
You got it. Get back.
Shit.
Dad! Where's my dad?
Hey!
Over here! Hey!
Oh, no, no.
Psst.

Take my hand.
I know a way out.
Daddy! Will!
What's the matter?
Do I have face on my face?
Hey. It's okay. It's okay. You're okay. You're okay.
I got you. We're gonna get you out.
Hello, Dicky.
What's the matter?
Seeing things?
Oh, I think they see you too.

It's time to go.
