00:00 I just need a few more points and I can finally get it.
00:05 Hey, what's this button do?
00:07 It resets the game.
00:11 Oops, sorry.
00:13 Excellent. You got the key yet?
00:18 No. I may never get it.
00:22 Piece of cake. I'll show you.
00:27 I don't see how you guys can get so into these dumb games.
00:30 I mean, they are just games.
00:32 Just games? They're like the battle between good and evil.
00:36 You've got to be smart and fast and always think three steps ahead.
00:40 And most of all, you've got to have a lot of patience.
00:43 Hurry up. It's my turn.
00:45 But I mean, it's not even like it matters if you win or lose.
00:49 All I wanted to do was get the key. Once.
00:53 Oh, enough. Who's going tonight?
00:57 I am. Let's fight over this later.
01:00 Kristen's right.
01:04 When you play a game like this, it really doesn't matter whether you win or lose.
01:09 Because all you have to do is press reset.
01:12 And you get a new game and another chance.
01:17 But what if it really did count?
01:22 Imagine if you had to beat the game.
01:25 Or the game is going to beat you.
01:28 And there were no resets, no replays, and no second chances.
01:35 Submitted for the approval of the Midnight Society.
01:41 I call this story...
01:49 "The Tale of the Pinball Wizard."
01:52 Ross Campbell was the kind of kid who was on his own a lot.
02:09 So he knew how to take care of himself.
02:12 If there was something he wanted, he'd do everything he could to get it.
02:18 He did just fine for himself.
02:20 But on this particular afternoon, he was about to go a little too far to get what he wanted.
02:26 And unfortunately, he was going to get it.
02:30 Give it to me! It's mine!
02:34 No way!
02:35 Yeah! When I saw it first!
02:37 Yeah!
02:38 Hey!
02:40 What's going on down there?
02:44 I hear you need it more than I do.
02:46 You stay right there!
03:14 Hey, Mr. Olsen. You thought about it?
03:17 Thought about what?
03:18 The job. I want the job.
03:20 Yeah, I'm not sure I want to hire any more kids.
03:24 Come on, Mr. Olsen. I'd work cheap.
03:27 Besides, you could use a talent to garlic me around here.
03:30 To do what? Play pinball all day?
03:34 It's the only talent you've shown me.
03:41 Hey, Mr. Olsen, that's cool.
03:44 I got plenty of talent. And you can trust me.
03:47 You'd never have to fire me like you did Steven.
03:50 Hey, new pinball game.
04:02 Hands off! Forget it!
04:04 Why?
04:05 Because it's a collector's item.
04:08 It doesn't even work right. It's missing a critical piece.
04:12 Now, go play the games outside.
04:14 All I wanted to do--
04:15 Out!
04:16 But--
04:17 Out!
04:19 ( door slams )
04:21 Let's go. I'm closing up.
04:46 Why? It's only 3 o'clock.
04:48 I haven't had lunch yet. I'll be back in an hour.
04:51 Wait. This is perfect.
04:54 Eating lunch at 3 o'clock ain't exactly perfect.
04:58 No. Let me watch the store for you while you're out.
05:02 Forget it!
05:04 Give me a chance.
05:09 What if a new customer comes by?
05:11 If I'm here, you won't miss out on the business.
05:15 You can trust me.
05:18 All right.
05:21 Come on.
05:23 Sit down.
05:25 Don't move.
05:26 Don't touch the cash register and don't touch any of the merchandise.
05:30 Especially that new game in the back.
05:32 Can I go to the bathroom?
05:34 No. I'm giving you a chance here, Ross.
05:36 If I can trust you, I might give you a job.
05:39 If not, you'll be out of here like Steven.
05:41 Got it?
05:42 Got it.
05:44 Yeah.
05:45 We'll see.

06:21 [car horn honking]
06:23 Whoa!
06:33 Three levels.
06:47 I've got to get up there.
06:49 [game music]
06:51 Hold on. I'm coming.
07:17 I'm coming.
07:19 Is Mr. Olsen here?
07:21 Uh, no.
07:23 Can I help you?
07:25 I left my music box here.
07:27 It's supposed to be ready today.
07:29 It is?
07:31 Oh, yeah, sure.
07:34 It is.
07:36 It must be around here somewhere.
07:46 What's it look like?
07:48 Do you really work here?
07:52 Yeah.
07:54 I'm in charge.
07:56 Sophie, I'm Ross.
08:00 My music box?
08:07 Oh, yeah, I'm sorry.
08:09 What's it look like again?
08:11 It's a throne in a gold box.
08:13 A throne.
08:15 Where is it?
08:17 It must be here somewhere.
08:19 There it is.
08:21 Oh, yeah.
08:23 I'm sorry. Mr. Olsen's always misplacing things.
08:26 I can never find it.
08:28 Are you sure it's ready?
08:32 Well...
08:34 I'm sorry. I don't really work here.
08:37 I'm just watching the place for Mr. Olsen.
08:40 He'll be back in an hour.
08:42 Oh, well.
08:44 I have some stuff to do, so I'll come back.
08:47 Thanks, Ross.
08:53 No problem.
08:55 ( music playing )
08:57 Oh, no. Zombies again.
09:19 No water.
09:24 This time I'm gonna crown the princess.
09:27 Yes! Second level.
09:38 Oh, no. A witch.
09:43 Where did she come from?
09:45 Third level.
09:51 Got the crown, got the throne.
09:54 Where's the princess?
09:56 There!
10:03 Finished!
10:05 Mr. Olsen?
10:12 Oh, no. I'm just gonna kill him.
10:21 ( music playing )
10:23 Keep ringing. Keep ringing.
10:49 Hello? Hello?
10:52 Who's there?
10:54 Look, I'm watching this--
10:56 Got an umbrella.
10:58 It's raining wood.
11:16 ( music playing )
11:18 Excuse me, sir.
11:44 ( phone ringing )
11:46 Hey.
11:48 ( grunts )
11:50 Water.
12:11 They're freeing the water.
12:13 Help! Help!
12:15 Sophie?
12:19 Ross! The tear!
12:21 Get the tear from the vault!
12:23 Save the key!
12:25 ( screams )
12:29 ( music playing )
12:31 ( music playing )
12:33 Open the vault.
12:51 What vault?
12:55 ( music playing )
12:57 Vault?
13:07 But this isn't a locker key.
13:11 ( music playing )
13:22 ( grunts )
13:24 ( groans )
13:49 ( music playing )
13:52 ( music playing )
13:55 ( music playing )
13:58 ( music playing )
14:01 ( music playing )
14:03 ( music playing )
14:18 ( music playing )
14:20 The quarters.
14:32 Ross!
14:34 This way!
14:38 Sophie, wait! What's going on?
14:40 ( music playing )
14:43 ( music playing )
14:45 ( screams )
14:57 Ross!
15:04 Save the tear! I can't control it!
15:06 ( grunts )
15:09 ( music playing )
15:11 ( music playing )
15:25 ( music playing )
15:27 ( screams )
15:53 Ross!
15:55 Ross!
15:57 Sophie?
16:01 Sophie?
16:03 Ross! The music box!
16:05 Get the music box!
16:07 ( music playing )
16:09 ( grunts )
16:21 ( music playing )
16:23 How'd you get here?
16:31 The chains. Get them off.
16:41 How?
16:43 The key. Did you get it?
16:45 What key? Oh, yeah.
16:47 Hurry.
16:49 Are you okay?
16:51 Where's the throne?
16:53 Wait. What's going on?
16:55 Who are you?
16:57 My music box. Where is it?
16:59 It's out front.
17:01 Who are all these people?
17:03 There's no time.
17:05 I need you to get me through this.
17:07 Get through what?
17:09 This is like a dream.
17:11 ( music playing )
17:13 Now we have to get the tiara.
17:17 I'm not cool.
17:19 ( screams )
17:21 ( music playing )
17:23 What?
17:39 It's the witch.
17:41 ( music playing )
17:43 ( music playing )
17:45 Quick, open the box.
17:49 ( music playing )
17:59 They must have the throne.
18:11 What are you trashing it for?
18:13 We have to hide it.
18:15 If anything happens to us,
18:17 we can't let them have both.
18:19 Both?
18:21 The throne and the tiara.
18:23 We still haven't got the tiara.
18:25 Listen, I'm not going anywhere
18:27 until you tell me what's going on.
18:29 Look out!
18:31 ( growling )
18:33 The mace!
18:35 You need the mace.
18:37 You have to play the game.
18:39 ( growling )
18:41 ( growling )
18:47 Come on!
18:49 Wait.
18:55 This is a game?
18:57 We have to find the tiara
18:59 so that I can be crowned.
19:01 There!
19:03 Quick, before they get here.
19:07 ( music playing )
19:09 Perfect.
19:13 ( growling )
19:17 Got you!
19:19 ( music playing )
19:21 What do I do?
19:23 The marbles! There's the marbles!
19:25 ( music playing )
19:35 Yes, there, right!
19:37 ( screams )
19:39 Stand back, boy! The game is over!
19:41 Let her go!
19:43 The tiara! Get the tiara to the third level!
19:45 He can't hurt me dead!
19:49 ( music playing )
20:03 Now what?
20:05 ( music playing )
20:07 I remember this.
20:31 It's the pinball game.
20:33 If I crown Sophie on the throne,
20:35 I win,
20:37 but it's over.
20:39 This can't be the throne.
20:51 It's too small.
20:53 ( music playing )
20:57 ( music playing )
20:59 That's more like it.
21:11 ( music playing )
21:15 ( music playing )
21:17 ( music playing )
21:19 ( music playing )
21:21 ( music playing )
21:35 ( music playing )
21:37 ( music playing )
21:39 ( music playing )
21:41 ( music playing )
21:43 ( music playing )
22:09 ( music playing )
22:11 ( music playing )
22:13 Oh, no, I'm back to beginning again.
22:29 Water.
22:39 This is why she said I needed this.
22:41 I'm gonna win this game.
22:51 ( laughing )
23:03 ( laughing )
23:05 Freeze!
23:11 Ross!
23:15 Don't be a fool, boy.
23:17 You've lost.
23:21 Look, I don't know what's going on here,
23:23 and I don't know what you are,
23:25 but if this is some kind of game,
23:27 you're playing with the wrong guy.
23:31 'Cause I never lose.
23:33 ( growling )
23:35 It's over, Sophie.
23:51 I beat him.
23:53 Look out!
23:55 ( laughing )
23:57 The game isn't over
23:59 unless all the characters die.
24:01 And I'm still here.
24:05 You shouldn't play the game, boy,
24:11 unless you know the rules.
24:13 But this isn't a game.
24:19 It's real.
24:23 And when it's real...
24:25 you...
24:27 you can make up your own rules.
24:31 No!
24:35 You are out of here.
24:37 No!
24:41 ( screaming )
24:43 ( screaming )
24:45 You did it!
25:01 We won the game!
25:03 Not yet.
25:05 There's one thing left.
25:07 ( music playing )
25:09 Would you do the honors?
25:19 What happened?
25:35 I won!
25:37 I shouldn't be back here.
25:39 ( laughing )
25:41 You told me
25:51 I could trust you, Ross.
25:53 But you had to play the game,
25:57 didn't you?
25:59 ( laughing )
26:01 ( laughing )
26:03 Hope you enjoy your free games.
26:09 You'll be playing them forever.
26:13 ( laughing )
26:29 When Ross saw that ball,
26:31 he knew that he would never get out.
26:33 The end.
26:37 Here you go, Dave.
26:41 Still want to give it a go?
26:43 Oh, no.
26:45 I think I've outgrown this.
26:47 It's all yours, Frank.
26:49 It's okay. You got a kiki.
26:53 No, you got it.
26:57 How about you got it, Gary?
26:59 Whoever's got the game,
27:03 just make sure the game doesn't get you.
27:05 Night, guys.
27:11 ( music playing )
27:17 Bye.
27:19 See you.
27:25 Until next time.
