00:00Oh, that's odd. I don't remember locking this.
00:12You wouldn't have to remember if my aunt had a wind-up toy monkey at the art show.
00:18Oh, not a cherished childhood memory now, was it?
00:25No, no, no, no, no, no!
00:31The coroner said it was an accident, but it was no accident.
00:38It was a monkey.
00:42When I was a kid, my twin brother and I found something that loved to kill.
00:49I did everything I could to make it go the fuck away.
00:55But it had other plans.
01:00Hello, brother.
01:01Bill.
01:02The monkey that likes killing our family...
01:06...it's back.
01:08It must be vanquished.
01:09Why don't you vanquish it, huh, Bill?
01:13Fuck!
01:16Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!
01:19We have been chosen...
01:23...to witness its power...
01:26...over life and death.
01:31In its most devious ways.
01:38It's a toy monkey?
01:40It's evil.
01:41It's basically the devil.
01:45Everybody dies.
01:48And that's life.
02:00Oh, fuck.
