Plot: In 2016, twenty-seven years after It’s initial defeat, Pennywise the Dancing Clown returns to Derry, Maine, killing a man named Adrian Mellon after he and his boyfriend are brutally assaulted by homophobic teens.
Mike Hanlon, the only member of the Losers Club who remained in Derry, summons the other members, Bill Denbrough, Ben Hanscom, Beverly Marsh, Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak, and Stanley Uris. All of them return to Derry, except for Stanley, who kills himself. Mike refreshes the Losers’ memories before It itself reveals the news of Stanley’s suicide to them. Richie and Eddie decide to leave, until Beverly reveals that she has had visions of their deaths should they fail to fulfill their oath to kill It. Meanwhile, It kills a little girl named Victoria at a baseball game and helps Henry Bowers, who was arrested for the murder of his father, escape from a mental institution.
At the library, Mike shows Bill, via a drug-induced vision, that the Native American “Ritual of Chüd” can defeat It using artifacts from the Losers’ past; Bill recovers Georgie’s paper sailboat and meets a young boy, Dean, whom he warns to leave Derry. Beverly retrieves Ben’s love poem from her childhood home before being attacked by It in the form of a demonic elderly woman. Richie goes to an abandoned cinema where he collects a game token and encounters Pennywise, who confronts him on his hidden homosexuality. Ben returns to the town’s high school, choosing to use an old yearbook page signed by Beverly as his artifact, while Eddie recovers an inhaler from a pharmacy and is attacked by the Leper.
Returning to the hotel, Richie abandons the group, while Bill leaves for the town carnival and fails to save Dean from Pennywise. Bowers viciously attacks Eddie at the hotel before driving to the library. There, Bowers attacks Mike before Richie returns and impales him. The Losers then travel to the Neibolt house where they convince Bill, distraught over his failure to save Dean, not to face It alone.
With their memories now fully restored, the group descends into a cavern beneath the sewers. Mike provides a rock from the Losers’ fight with the Bowers Gang, and they perform the ritual using the artifacts in the remains of the meteor that brought It to Earth. The ritual fails as It emerges as an enormous Pennywise-spider hybrid and pressures Mike into revealing that the ritual killed the original native performers. It attacks the Losers and places Bill, Ben, and Beverly in individual hallucinations. They escape once Bill releases his guilt over being indirectly responsible for Georgie’s death and Beverly realizes again that Ben was the one who wrote the love letter to her. When Richie is made catatonic by It, Eddie saves him but is fatally impaled. A weakened Eddie then explains how he made It feel small earlier, by choking the Leper nearly to death.
The Losers confront It about how they have overcome their fears, and are no longer scared of the entity, which causes Pennywise to lose his physical superiority over them, and thus begin to cease to exist. In an attempt to save itself, It cycles throughout it’s many forms before eventually mutating into a crying, baby-like Pennywise. Mike attacks It, pulling out It’s heart, which he and the Losers crush with their bare hands. Pennywise laughs at it’s defeat, and dies.
They return to Eddie to find he has died from his injuries, and are forced to leave his body behind as It’s cavern implodes, destroying the Neibolt House. At the water-logged quarry, the Losers comfort Richie, and Ben and Beverly kiss. Later, the scars on the Losers’ hands disappear. After the Losers part ways, Ben and Beverly get married, Richie returns to the kissing bridge where he had once carved his and Eddie’s initials, Mike moves out of Derry, and Bill begins writing his new story. Mike reveals to Bill that Stanley had written the Losers letters prior to his suicide; Stanley was too scared to face It, and his suicide was intended to strengthen his friends against It. He ends his letter with the words “We’re Losers, and always will be”.

[childish laughing]
[children singing spookily]
[Georgie]
You’ll float, too! You’ll float, too! You’ll float, too!
[Young Beverly]
I saw all of us.
All of us were there.
Back in the cistern.
But we were older.
We were our parents’ ages.
Am I still handsome as an adult?
[boys chuckling]
You grow into your looks.
[Young Eddie laughs]
What the fuck does that mean?
What about me?
Like now, but taller.
Swear it.
Swear if It isn’t dead, if It ever comes back, we’ll come back, too.
[Mike] Memory, it’s a funny thing. People want to believe they are what they choose to remember. The good stuff. The moments. The places. The people we all hold on to.
[wind blowing]
But sometimes… sometimes we are what we wish we could forget.
[children screaming]
[screaming]
[carnival music playing]
[lively chattering]
[carny] Okay, kids.
Get ready.
Go!
[bell dings] Who’s it gonna be?
First one to pop their balloon’s a winner!
It could be anyone!
We got a real
barn burner here, folks.
Come on. Come on. Come on.
[carny] It’s getting close.
Who’s gonna catch the leader, huh?
Who’s gonna be the big winner tonight?
Oh, yeah!
Whoo!
[bell dinging]
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Thank you.
Wow.
You really showed ’em, huh?
I did. I…
Yeah.
Hey, girl, do you want this?
[clicking tongue]
[whispering] Thanks for letting me win.
Yeah.
[Victoria’s mom]
What’d you get, Vicky?
[Don] Aww.
Such a gentleman.
[Victoria’s mom]
Look at that!
Well, here is your consolation prize.
Look at that.
Never been a fan of the beaver, but look at this hat.
I mean…
Thank you.
So, we need to talk logistics.
Ooh. How romantic.
Romantic?
What’s so fucking romantic, huh?
[spits]
[Webby] Hey.
Your mommas ever teach you boys to respond to someone when they ask you a fucking question?
Come on, Adrian.
You got a problem, faggot?
I don’t, but Meg Ryan called.
She wants her wig back.
[Don] All right. All right.
Come on.
Come on, Adrian.
Stuff like that is why I have to leave this shithole town.
Small minds.
They have small dicks.
I’m being serious.
We belong elsewhere.
Hey, look, if you end up hating New York, we can always move back here.
[Adrian] I just want to be with you.
I don’t care.
New York, Derry, whatever. It’s…
You have to say that.
I don’t have to say anything.
Take off that fucking hat.
Oh, God.
Come on, let’s go.
[Webby] Wouldn’t want to give people the impression we allow a bunch of fucking fairies like you in this town.
Yeah, he was born here, asshole.
All right, let’s go.
No. You know what?
I’ll take off the hat for you.
But why leave it there?
Anything else you would like me to take off for you tonight?
Any special requests, ladies?
[all grunting]
[Webby] Fucker!
[Don] Let him go!
[Don and Adrian groan]
[coughing]
[wheezing]
What’s that?
Stop.
I don’t think you’ll be needing that.
[Don] Leave him alone!
[Chris] Hit him.
He’s got asthma, fucker!
[groans]
[groans]
[groaning]
[Chris laughing]
[wheezing]
Come on!
[groans]
Fuck him up!
[Webby] Come on, kick him!
Come on, kick the shit out of him.
Adrian! [grunting]
[coughing]
[Chris laughing] I still hate your fucking hair.
Adrian!
Get the fuck off him!
[continues coughing] Look what you did to his fucking face!
Hey! Hey!
Help me get him up.
[Don] Adrian. [groans]
Help me get this fucking punk up right now.
[groaning]
Give me the hat, Chris.
It’s fucking mine!
I said give me the fucking hat!
[Don] Adrian!
[Adrian wheezing]
You like that?
Welcome to Derry, motherfucker.
[Don] No! Adrian!
No!
[train horn blowing]
Let’s get the fuck out of here.
Let’s go!
[Don] No!
Adrian!
Help!
Help me!
Somebody!
[continues wheezing]
Somebody fucking help me!
[panting]
Oh…
[Adrian gasping] Adrian.
[Adrian wheezing]
[Adrian screaming]
No!
[Adrian groaning]
[faint distorted carnival music playing] Adrian!
[whimpering]
[children] We all float down here!
[Mike] Thing is, sometimes what we wish was forgotten, what we tried to leave in the past, won’t stay there.
[radio beeping]
[gasps]
[dispatcher]
Units, please respond. I’m getting reports of a body found dismembered. [officer] Come back.
Was that “dismembered”?
[dispatcher]
That’s affirmative. Scene is near the south entrance of the festival grounds.
[officer]
Copy that. En route. Any directive for TC?
[dispatcher]
That’s affirmative. Chief said to tape off the Derry Street Bridge.
[Mike] Sometimes, it comes back for you.
[chattering on radio continues indistinctly]
[indistinct chatter]
[knocking on door]
[door opens]
Ah.
[keys clicking]
Mr. Denbrough?
They need you on set.
We’re just going to go this way.
I’m doing it. I’m doing it.
No, don’t!
[man] Hey!
Clear the door!
Oh, come on.
You’ve never seen Indiana Jones? Watch your back.
Hey, hey.
You a crewmember?
I’m the writer.
[construction noises]
[assistant whispers]
Your husband’s here.
Hey!
Do you have the pages?
[woman] Everyone, keep clear of the crane.
My friend, a film needs an ending.
You do know that, right?
Oh, yeah.
You said that you needed another day to finish the pages, and we’re shooting this thing.
It’s tonight.
That’s, like, 17 hours…
Everybody, calm down, okay?
I’m calm.
I want you to be happy with the movie.
You understand?
I’m on your side.
That’s great.
‘Cause in my book, the ending…
Is terrible.
All due respect, people loved your book. Loved.
They hated the ending.
You said you liked the ending.
That was a lie.
We gotta do better, okay?
Yeah.
Audra, you have my notes.
Would you…
Okay, thank you very much.
Take me back to one, please.
Bye.
You have his notes?
He’s not wrong.
You hate my endings, too?
Not all your endings.
But this…
Okay.
Just…
What? Do you want me to keep lying to you
just because I’m your wife?
You’re my wife?
No. No.
But you know what?
You’ve been blowing smoke up my ass for eight years?
I guess I thought you were someone else.
I have not been blowing smoke up your ass.
Everybody wants a happy ending.
Everybody wants closure.
But that’s not the way life works out.
I think what Peter wants and what the studio wants…
The studio?
When’d you become a company man?
Jesus, you’re an artist.
Come on.
What’s wrong with just doing it the way it’s written?
The way I wanted.
What’s wrong with being the woman I want you to be?
Fuck you, Bill.
[stammering] On the page.
The part, I mean. Not you.
[cell phone ringing]
[sighs] Hello?
Bill Denbrough?
It’s Mike. Mike who?
Mike Hanlon.
From Derry.
[groaning] You need to come home.
[breathing heavily]
[car horns honking]
[Myra on phone] Eddie, I keep telling you not to scare me like this. And you never listen to me.
All right. Myra, please.
Not now.
You shouldn’t be out there.
Eddie, it’s not safe to drive when the roads are slick like this.
Sweetheart, it stopped raining, like, three hours ago.
All right?
Everything is gonna be fine.
[horn honking] Hey, dickhead!
Flow of traffic mean anything to you?
What if you hydroplane?
I’m not gonna hydroplane.
It is my job to assess risk.
So, please trust me when I tell you that, statistically speaking, I am much more likely to get into an accident because I am talking to you on the phone!
All right?
I have to go.
I will talk to you soon.
Goodbye.
[phone ringing]
Edward Kaspbrak speaking.
You didn’t say, “Okay, bye, I love you,” like you usually do.
Listen to me. I can’t!
I’m going to be late to this… meeting.
Say “I love you,” Eddie.
Okay, I love you, Mommy.
What?
Myra. Bye.
[beeps] Hello? Who’s this?
It’s me. Mike.
Mike who?
[taxi horn blaring]
[Mike] Eddie! You okay?
[Eddie] Yeah, I’m pretty good.
Dude! Dude, what the fuck?
You were fine, like, five seconds ago.
Who was it? Who called? Huh?
[breathing heavily] Rich? Rich?
Talk to me.
You’re on in two minutes.
You good?
‘Cause you look not good.
I’m fine.
You’re fine? Okay.
And we’re walking.
We’re walking.
Sixty seconds.
Even faster. All right.
Can we get him a bottle of water, maybe?
Bourbon.
Bourbon. Sure, sure.
And a mint.
It is showtime.
I don’t think I can do this.
It’s what you do.
You kill. You’re a killer.
That was fast.
Okay. We are good to go, and…
Hey! Where we going?
Where we going?
No. This way. Attaboy.
[bell ringing] Okay.
All right.
How do I look?
Your hands are shaking, Rich.
Shit.
[announcer]
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Richie Tozier!
[audience cheering]
[music playing] All right.
How are we doing tonight?
So, my girlfriend caught me masturbating to her friend’s Facebook page.
[audience laughing]
And so now I’m in Masturbators Anonymous.
And I stand up at the first meeting and I say, “My name is Richie Trashmouth.”
[boy 1] Trashmouth.
[boy 2] Shut up, Richie.
[boy 3] Fucking perv.
[boy 4] Shut up, Richie.
[boy 5 echoing] Pussy!
Trashmouth. Uh…
Forgot the joke.
[scattered applause]
[woman] You suck!
[chuckles awkwardly]
[man] Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for letting us present to you today.
Now, this will include over a million square feet of commercial and residential space.
State-of-the-art office towers.
What I’m really looking for is to understand how we create even more retail opportunities.
If we put in walls here and all along here…
[Ben on speaker]
Lose them. With all due respect, Mr. Hanscom… Ben, please.
And with all due respect to you, I’m getting claustrophobic just looking at this model.
Aren’t you?
Look. Throw up more walls, it’s gonna feel like a prison.
You know what people want to do in prison?
Get out. Right?
This should be a place that brings people together.
A meeting ground.
A clubhouse.
And if,
while people are there…
[cell phone ringing]
Excuse me for one second.
Hello?
[Mike] Ben? It’s Mike Hanlon.
From Derry.
[operatic music playing]
[Patty] Should I just book it?
You’re sure you can get away from work?
It’s summer, why not?
Okay, we are Buenos Airesbound.
[Patty chuckles happily]
[cell phone ringing]
Stanley Uris speaking.
It’s Mike.
I’m sorry?
Mike Hanlon. From Derry. Mike.
God, sorry. Yes, hi.
[chuckles nervously]
[stammering] I don’t know why I didn’t…
How long’s it been?
[chuckles]
A long time.
27 years. It’s come back, hasn’t it?
That’s why you’re calling me?
It’s starting again, Stan.
Bad things are happening.
[stammering]
Did you call the others?
I mean, what if they don’t come?
We made a promise, remember?
How soon can you get here? Um…
Well, I… [stammers] Yeah, I would need to do a few things…
Tomorrow. We don’t have much time. I’ll text you everything you need.
I’ll see you soon, Stan the Man.
[water running]
[breathing heavily]
[mouthing]
Do you swear?
I swear, Bill.
[Stanley gasps]
[gasps]
[cell phone ringing]
[gasps] [Mike] You made a promise, Beverly.
[Beverly] I’m so sorry, Mike.
I don’t even really remember.
Haven’t you ever wondered why you can’t seem to remember the things most people should about where they’re from, about who they are, why you have that scar on your hand? No one else remembered, either. Eddie, Ben, Stan, Richie… Bill.
Bill.
You have to come back.
You all do.
When?
[gasps]
Whoa.
Are you okay?
What’s going on?
It’s the middle of the night.
You’re packing?
I didn’t want to wake you, honey.
I know this week’s been really exhausting.
I just got a phone call from an old friend from Derry.
I have to go back there.
It’s really hard to explain why.
It’s okay.
You don’t have to explain yourself to me. Relax.
I trust you.
Thank you.
I just don’t understand why you’d lie to me.
I heard you.
You said the name Mike.
Yes, my friend.
See, there was a group of us back then, and we all made a promise to each other when we were kids.
You know trust is everything in a relationship.
You know it’s everything to me, right?
I know. This isn’t…
Right?
What?
Like the last time?
I never cheated on you.
[whimpers]
You’re a bad fucking liar,
Bev.
[groaning] You’re not going anywhere, okay?
I want you to stay right here, and you’re gonna show me what it is you’re gonna do with Mike. Okay?
You’re hurting me, honey.
No one else is gonna love you like me.
You know that, right?
[grunts]
[Tom groans]
[stammering] I’m sorry.
[whimpering]
[grunting] Don’t make this fucking harder!
Don’t.
[Beverly groaning]
[grunts]
[groans]
[groaning]
[Tom yelling]
[groans]
[panting]
You’re nothing without me!
You know that, right?
Tell me I’m wrong!
[horn honks]
[children’s voices echoing]
[gasps]
[screaming]
[police radio chatter]
[Borton] Jesus Christ.
Boys.
Little prick’s got balls, I’ll give him that.
Far enough, Bowers!
I’m not done yet.
I’m not done.
I’m not fucking done.
On your knees.
I can’t. No!
I gotta kill them all!
Fuck, fuck!
Fucking kill them all!
Stop it!
Cuff this sorry sack of shit!
Fuck you! [yells] Fuck you!
Henry Bowers, I am placing you under arrest for the murder of Oscar Bowers.
Do you understand, dipshit?
You have the right to an attorney.
You have the right to remain silent.
[laughing]
[nurse] Bowers!
Bowers, calm the fuck down!
[indistinct announcement on PA]
[Henry laughing]
Someone needs a little extra clozapine today, don’t they?
Stay in your fucking room.
[bed creaks]
[gasps]
[gasps]
[creature chuckling]
[screams]
[creature groaning]
Hockstetter.
My knife.
[music playing]
Whoa.
Careful.
This way.
Thanks a lot.
[Mike] Hey.
Oh…
Mike, you look good.
Bill.
Yup. Whoa.
Hey. How you doing?
Bill.
I didn’t know if any of you would…
I mean, after all this time…
Yeah.
But of course you came.
You know, an oath is an oath.
Losers gotta stick together, right?
The Losers.
You remember that.
That’s good.
What else do you remember?
I am allergic to soy, anything that has egg in it, uh, gluten, and if I eat a cashew, I could realistically die.
Holy shit.
Is there a password or something?
I’m sorry.
The new kid.
Ben?
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
[Ben] Oh, my God.
It’s been so long.
[Beverly chuckles]
[Young Beverly] Stay cool, Ben from soc class.
[Young Ben]
You too, Beverly.
[Young Beverly] Hang tough, new kid on the block.
[Richie] Wow.
You two look amazing.
What the fuck happened to me?
What’s going on, man?
[Ben] Hey, man.
It’s Richie. Hi.
Yeah. It’s Ben.
[both laughing]
Hi.
Hey.
[gong rings]
This meeting of the Losers’ Club has officially begun.
Look at these guys.
[mouths] Ben.
[all cheering]
So, wait, Eddie, you got married?
Yeah, why’s that so fucking funny, dickwad?
What?
To, like, a woman?
Fuck you, bro.
[Richie laughing] Fuck you!
All right. What about you, Trashmouth?
You married?
There’s no way Richie’s married.
No, I got married.
Richie, I don’t believe it.
When?
Did you not hear this?
[Eddie] No.
You didn’t know I got married?
No.
Yeah, no. Me and your mom are very, very happy right now.
[all laughing]
[Beverly] Yeah, very happy.
[Bill] He totally fell for it!
Thanks.
[laughing continues]
Fuck you.
She’s very sweet.
Sometimes, she’ll put her arm around me, and she’ll whisper to me, she’ll go…
[imitates Jabba the Hutt speaking alien language] We all get it.
My mom was a great, big, fat person.
Shh.
Hilarious. Hysterical.
[laughing continues]
[Richie] Yeah, it’s a nice watch.
Wait, let’s talk about the elephant not in the room…
Ben.
What the fuck, man?
Okay, okay.
Obviously, I lost a few pounds.
[Richie] Lost a few pounds?
[Eddie] Yeah, no shit you lost
a few pounds.
You’re, like… You’re hot!
[Eddie] That’s true.
[Richie] No, you’re like every Brazilian soccer player wrapped up into one person.
Gorgeous.
Leave him alone.
You’re embarrassing him.
Okay, okay, all right.
Please, come on.
Is Stanley coming or what?
Someone save me.
Stan.
Stan…
Stan Uris.
Stan Urine.
Stanley Urine.
No, no, he’s a fucking pussy.
He’s not gonna show.
Why would Stanley save you, anyway?
Was I not the one who basically performed surgery on you
after Bowers cut you up?
Yes!
Holy shit!
That’s right.
Please tell me you ended up becoming a doctor, Eds.
No, I ended up becoming a risk analyst.
[Richie] Oh, that sounds really interesting.
What does that entail?
Yeah, so I work for a big insurance firm and…
[Richie imitates snoring]
[all laughing]
Fuck you, dude.
Fuck you.
Was this job invented before fun?
That’s so not funny.
[Richie] It is funny.
What the fuck are you laughing at?
I propose a toast to the Losers.
[all protest]
[lively chattering]
Let’s take our shirts off and kiss!
[all] Oh!
Oh, here we go.
[Eddie] Thank you.
Thank you.
Like, Rogan-Marsh, half my wife’s closet Rogan-Marsh?
That’s… [laughs] That’s huge.
That’s our line.
Me and my husband, Tom.
How long have you been married?
Hey, we saw your movie,
by the way.
[Bill] You did?
[Beverly] Oh, my God!
It was so good.
[Bill] Oh, my God.
It was so scary.
And the ending sucked?
[chuckles]
Yeah, it did.
I’m sorry.
That’s all right.
What?
Nothing.
This is just weird.
[Beverly] Yeah.
Just all this, all these memories, people that I don’t even remember forgetting.
I mean, it’s weird, right?
Now that we’re all here, everything just comes back faster and faster.
I mean, all of it.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, when Mike called me, I threw up.
Isn’t that weird?
Like, I got nervous.
I got, like, sick and I threw up.
[Richie chuckles]
I feel fine now.
I feel very relieved to be here with you guys.
Why is everybody looking at me like this?
When Mike called me, I crashed my car.
Seriously?
[Eddie] Yeah.
[Ben] Shit, man, I hear you.
I mean, my heart was literally pounding right out of my chest.
I thought it was only me.
[Bill] It was like pure…
[Bill stuttering]
Fear.
It’s fear.
What you felt.
Why did we all feel like that, Mike?
You remember something we don’t, don’t you, Mike?
Something happens to you when you leave this town.
The farther away, the hazier it all gets.
But me, I never left.
So, yeah.
I remember.
I remember all of it.
Pennywise.
Oh, the fucking clown.
[breathes heavily]
Oh, shit.
[Richie] Pennywise.
Mike, you said you wanted our help with something.
What was that?
There’s an echo here in Derry that bounces back every 27 years.
What are you talking about?
Hold on.
Listen, listen.
We thought we stopped It back then.
We thought It was done, but…
[Richie] Mike.
[whimpers]
A week ago, a man, Adrian Mellon, slaughtered.
A girl, Lisa Albrecht, the other night, went missing.
[Bill] All right.
There’ve already been others, and there will be more.
[Richie] I don’t want to hear about this shit.
More death. More pain.
Calm down.
Let’s get another drink.
Let him explain.
Let him explain.
Explain it to us, Mike.
That echo, we might have changed It, just like It changed us.
But we didn’t stop It.
Because It just bounced back.
We made an oath.
That’s why I brought you back.
That’s why you’re here.
To finish It.
For good.
Well, that shit got dark fast.
Thanks, Mike.
My fortune cookie just says “Could.”
They don’t know how to do fortune cookies here.
Mine just says “Guess.”
You wanna throw that over here?
[Bill exhales deeply]
What you got, Mikey?
[inhales shakily]
[Eddie] Wait, what?
[Mike] This is what I’m talking about.
[Richie] “Guess. Cut.
Not. Could. It.”
It’s a message.
[Richie] No, “Guess it could not cut.”
[Eddie] Why would it guess it could not cut?
[Ben] Cut what?
[Richie] “Guess it could not cut.”
“It” goes in front.
There.
“It could not guess.”
It couldn’t guess.
[Richie] “Could it…”
No. “Could it not cut.”
When it says “It,” is it talking about It?
Yeah. All right.
[Eddie] Is that what it means?
Is “It” It?
Where does this go?
That’s what I’m talking about.
It… It could…
[Richie] I don’t know what it fucking means!
You fuck with the fortune cookies, Mike?
No.
Whoa. Let him speak, man.
This is not me.
This is what It does.
[Eddie]
I need my fucking inhaler!
[Richie] What is wrong with you, man?
Why’d you call us?
This is not fucking funny!
[Eddie] This is so not funny!
[Bill] Beverly?
This is so not funny.
[breathing shakily]
[men gasp]
[Eddie]
Why does it say Stanley?
Someone else fucking answer me!
[fortune cookies rattling]
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
What the fuck is that, man?
Oh, my God.
Whoa, whoa!
[crying]
Whoa!
[whimpering] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Shit.
Hey! Hey!
That fortune cookie’s looking at me! Shit!
[yelping]
I don’t want to be here.
I can’t fucking do this.
I wanna go home!
I don’t wanna be here!
I don’t wanna be here!
I wanna go home!
I don’t wanna be here!
Holy shit!
Hey! God damn it.
[panicked chattering]
[both screaming]
Hey, Eddie!
[bleating]
[screaming]
[yelps]
Whoa! Fuck!
It’s not real!
[screeches]
This isn’t real!
It’s not real!
It’s not real!
It’s not real!
It’s not real!
It’s not real!
It’s not real!
It’s not real!
[waitress]
Is everything all right?
Yeah, yeah.
Could we get the check?
That’s what Pennywise does, right?
He fucks with us.
So, Stanley’s probably fine.
Hey, Mike.
Do you have Stan’s number?
Yeah.
[boy] Hey, Richie.
[Richie] How’d you…
How’d you know my name?
The fun’s just beginning.
Right?
What he said, is it…
Listen.
You think this is funny?
All right?
Think this is some sort of game, huh?
Well, fuck you, all right?
[Bill] Rich, be careful, dude.
Fuck you!
I’m not afraid of you!
“The fun’s just beginning.”
The line from your act, dude.
I’m a fan.
Are those your parents?
Yeah.
You want a picture?
You okay, Dean? Come on.
I think I’m good.
[Richie] Okay, cool.
He’s a good kid.
Jesus, Richie.
You don’t remember a line from your own show?
I don’t write my own material.
I fucking knew it!
I fucking knew it!
Hello, Mrs. Uris.
My name’s Beverly Marsh.
I apologize for calling, but I’m an old friend of your husband’s.
You lied to us.
That’s not okay.
Yeah, first words out of your mouth should have been like, “Hey, man. You want to come to Derry and get murdered?”
‘Cause then I would have said no.
Guys.
[Richie]
Fucking entrapment, man.
[Patty on phone] Oh…
[Patty sighs tearfully]
He passed.
[Beverly] When did it happen?
Yesterday. It was horrible, the way he died. His wrists.
In the bathtub.
In the bathtub. I’m sorry.
I have to go.
[Beverly] We’re all very sorry, Patty.
Thank you. Stanley.
Pennywise knew.
He knew before we did.
We have to stop him.
I have a plan.
[Richie] I got a plan.
Getting the fuck out of Dodge before this ends worse than one of Bill’s books.
Who’s with me?
We made a promise to each other.
Let’s unmake the promise.
Richie, other people are gonna die.
Other people die every day, man!
We don’t owe this town shit!
Plus, I just remembered I grew up here, like, two hours ago.
So, I’m fucking leaving.
Fuck this.
[Eddie] I’m sorry, man, I’m with Richie.
Eds, please.
Listen.
What? We stay, we die, that’s it?
I’m gonna go back to the inn, I’m gonna pack up my shit, and I’m gonna drive to my home.
I’m sorry, man. Good luck.
[car engine starting] No, Eddie. Please.
Please, Eddie!
Eddie, wait!
You okay?
I’m gonna head back to the Town House, too.
Are you coming?
Yeah.
You should have told us, Mikey.
Bill. Please, man.
I’m begging you.
Please.
Just listen to me, man.
Please.
What are you gonna say?
What could you possibly say that would make any kind of a difference?
They’re all gone.
Come on.
Let me show you something.
One thing. And if you want to leave, you can leave.
Just let me show you this first. Please.
[spectators cheering]
[boy] Lapskew!
What kind of name is that, huh?
My mom swings better than you!
How many times do I have to…
She doesn’t even play baseball! You suck!
Mommy, how much longer?
Victoria, we came to watch the game.
We’re gonna watch the game.
[spectators chanting]
[gasps]
Hello, Vicky.
Isn’t that what your friends call you?
Vicky?
How did I know that?
I guess I must be your friend, too. [laughs] If you’re my friend, why are you hiding in the dark?
You’re not my friend.
You’re scary.
[Pennywise crying]
Why are you crying?
People always make fun ’cause of the way I look.
I thought if you couldn’t see my face, then maybe you’d want to be my friend.
Never mind. [sobs] Oh, silly old Pennywise, you’ll never have no friends.
People make fun of me, too.
They do?
‘Cause of this.
Well, isn’t that silly?
That little thing?
Why, I can blow that thing right away.
You could?
Oh, yes!
One poof and it’d be gone!
[giggles]
You would have to get close enough to see my face.
I don’t know, Vicky.
No, it’s okay.
I won’t make fun. I promise.
Promise promise?
Well, okie-dokie!
Just come on in a little closer, and we’ll blow it away on the count of three! [giggles]
[giggles]
One, two…
You’re supposed to say three.
[spectators cheering]
[music playing on video]
[John laughing]
[John sighs]
[man shuddering]
[door buzzes]
Holy fuck.
Boo!
[yelps]
[laughing] Fuck yeah!
Hey, Hockstetter.
Let’s go! [whooping]
[tires screeching] Let’s get our shit and get the fuck out of here.
Did you leave your stuff here?
No, my stuff’s still in the car.
[door closes]
Tell me.
Tell you what?
Whatever it is you’re afraid to tell me right now.
Bev. Bev.
Back at the Jade when you were on the phone with Stanley’s…
Stop.
She told you that she found him in the bathtub, but, Bev, I saw you.
I heard it.
You said it first.
Whatever you guys are talking about, let’s make it happen faster, all right? We gotta go.
Eduardo, andale!
Let’s go!
There’s something you’re not telling us.
You knew how Stanley died.
You knew.
Wait, what?
I can’t do this.
She knew how Stanley was going to die, is that what she just said?
You can’t just walk away from this.
[bell dinging]
How did you know where he killed himself?
Bev.
Talk to me.
Just talk to me.
Like we used to.
Come on, how did you know?
Because I saw it.
I’ve seen all of us die.
[bags thumping]
Okay, I just got to grab my toiletry bag, and then we can go.
[bags thud]
What’d I miss?
[Bill] The library?
[Mike] Mmmhmm.
[Bill gasps] Wow.
Didn’t this place used to be bigger?
Yo! [stutters] Mike, where are you going?
Mike, you live here?
Yeah.
Make yourself at home.
[fridge door opens]
You want some water?
[Bill] Yeah, sure.
[water pouring]
You see, memory’s the thing.
It’s the key.
It’s the key to everything.
If It really does want us [stutters] back here, don’t you think the smartest thing we can do is just get the hell out of Derry?
No, no, no.
It does want us back.
Of course It does!
But It doesn’t know I know what I know.
What do you know?
How to kill the shit out of It!
I’ve read every book.
I’ve talked to every person in this godforsaken town, everybody that would talk to me, anyway, and that’s not a long list.
But it wasn’t enough.
I had to know how this all started.
How It started.
And It started
here.
Whoa.
What am I looking at, Mike?
It’s an artifact.
Early 18th century Shokopiwah.
Shoko…
How’d you get it?
I found it, in the…
No, no, they gave it to me.
I stole it.
You stole it?
From Native Americans?
Uh…
It’s complicated.
Yeah, it is.
They helped me on my journey.
So beautiful.
They showed me things.
A vision.
Ow.
Holy fuck.
I feel kind of funky.
Hot.
Am I sweating?
I need you to see what they showed me, Bill.
[echoing] Bill.
They live outside of Derry.
Beyond It’s reach. They moved there many years ago. Their holy man, their holy of holies, he took me in.
[speaking native language]
[Mike in English]
Fed me their sacred Maturin. I started to…
To react. All living things must abide by the laws of the shape they inhabit.
[screaming]
[Mike] While I sat there, looking out over the valley, I saw It arrive.
I knew that one day, I would have to make you all see.
Mike, did you put something in my drink?
It’s, uh…
It’s a root.
You… [stutters] You drugged me?
You drugged me?
No, it’s a root with properties.
It’s just a micro-dose of what the Shokopiwah gave me…
Why would you do that?
…to open my eyes.
I don’t feel real good.
I need you to look, and you’ll see.
[Bill] I don’t feel good.
[Mike] Open your eyes.
Open your eyes.
They showed me the past.
[yelps]
Showed me the way It appeared to them.
[whimpering]
[screams]
They showed me their pain.
[both screaming]
They showed me how to stop It!
[Native Americans chanting in native language]
[Bill breathing heavily]
It’s over.
It’s over.
You’re okay.
You’re okay.
Did you see it?
The ritual?
The Ritual of Chud?
Yeah, I knew you…
I knew you would see it.
I saw the whole fucking thing, Mike.
That’s how we kill It.
How are we going to do it?
Everybody already [stuttering] said no.
But with you, they’ll listen.
This won’t work without all of us.
Okay. So, what do you mean that you’ve seen us all die?
Yeah, ’cause I gotta be honest.
That’s a fucked-up thing to just drop on somebody.
Every night since Derry, I’ve been having these nightmares.
People in pain.
People dying.
People…
[Eddie]
So, you have nightmares.
I have nightmares.
People, they have nightmares.
But that doesn’t mean that your visions are true.
I’ve watched every single one of us…
[Bill] You’ve seen every single one of us what?
At the place that Stanley wound up.
That’s how we end.
Okay, how come the rest of us aren’t seeing that shit?
I mean, what makes her so different?
The Deadlights.
The Deadlights.
She was the only one of us that got caught in the Deadlights that day.
We were all touched by It.
Changed.
Deep down. Like an infection.
Or a virus.
A virus.
You understand.
Slowly growing.
That virus, it’s been growing for 27 years.
This whole time, metastasizing.
It just got to Stan first, because…
He was the weakest.
Jesus Christ, Rich.
Just saying what everyone else is thinking, man.
I mean, Rich, come on.
What Beverly sees, it will come to pass.
It’s what’ll happen to all of us, eventually, unless we stop It.
How the hell are we supposed to do that?
The Ritual of Chud.
The Shokopiwah.
The first ones who fought It, they have a saying.
“All living things must abide by “the laws of the shape they inhabit.”
A tribal ritual?
Are you fucking kidding me, man?
All right, there’s gotta be another way.
Okay? This thing comes back, what, every 27 years?
Let’s just kick the can down the road and do it then.
Wait, we’ll be 70 years old, asshole.
[Beverly] It doesn’t work that way.
None of us make it another 20 years, and the way it happens…
So, if we don’t beat It this cycle, then…
We die.
Horribly.
Yeah, I don’t need the “horribly” part.
I didn’t say it.
She said it. Not me.
[Bill] All right, guys.
Look.
I’ve seen [stuttering] what he’s talking about, and it’s all true.
It’s the only way.
If we want this ritual to work…
We have to remember.
Remember what?
[wind blowing]
[Mike] It’s better if I show you. We don’t have much time. His cycle will end soon. And once it does…
[Eddie] We’re fucked.
[Beverly] The Barrens.
This is where we came.
After the rock fight.
The clubhouse.
You built that for us.
Yeah, the hatch has got to be around here someplace.
[Eddie] You did.
I do remember that!
Oh!
Whoa! Whoa!
You okay?
[Beverly laughs]
What?
Nothing, it’s just…
You haven’t changed.
It’s a good thing.
[both chuckle]
You know what?
I actually think the door was more like around…
[crashing]
Found it.
I’m okay!
Come down!
What the dick is this?
How’d you build it?
When did you build it?
Here and there, I guess.
It was already dug out from something, so I just had to reinforce the walls and get some wood for the roof door, and that’s pretty much it.
Pretty good for my first time, huh?
[Young Stanley yelps]
[Young Richie] Now, that’s a cool feature.
What happens when you put your hand on the other pillar, professor?
Okay, you see, this is exactly why there are safety codes, why we have permits.
This place is a death trap.
You understand that?
Well, it’s a work in progress.
Okay, Eddie?
Just so you know, I get hurt, you are liable.
And, also, what is this?
The switch of an iron maiden?
That’s a flashlight.
What is that, a horse hitch?
When do you have horses down…
Oh, this is cool.
That was like, three dollars, so be careful with that, please.
I have one of these.
Hey, Stan, you see this?
Yeah, okay, can you maybe not?
Maybe not what? Yeah, yeah, hold on.
Maybe not what?
Be awesome and have fun and celebrate the magic of the paddleball?
Wow.
Oh, good going, fuck-nut.
You broke his thing.
I broke it?
Yeah, you broke it with your face.
What?
[Young Eddie] I’m not putting my fucking hand down there.
[blows]
[Eddie] Oh, man.
That’s so cool.
[Bill] Oh, my God.
[Eddie] How do we all not remember that this was here?
[Richie as Pennywise]
Hey, Losers.
Time to float.
[laughing]
Ahh!
Fuck, Richie.
Dude!
Remember when he used to say that shit?
And he’d do that little dance.
[vocalizing]
Am I the only one who remembers this shit?
Are you gonna be like this the entire time we’re home?
All right. Just trying to add some levity to this shit.
I’ll go fuck myself.
[whistling]
It smells so fucking terrible in here.
Hey, you guys?
[stuttering] This says “Stan.”
“For the use of Losers only.”
Bill.
[’80s music playing]
The fuck is this?
So you don’t get spiders stuck in your hair when you’re down here.
Stanley, we’re not afraid of fucking spiders.
I stand corrected.
[laughs] That’s a first.
Touche.
Hey, Rich, your ten minutes are up.
What are you talking about?
The hammock.
Ten minutes each was the rule.
I don’t see any sign.
[Young Eddie] Are you being this way right now?
Really? No, no, no.
Why would there be a sign if it was a verbal agreement?
And I remember you agreeing on the fucking rule!
[both grunting]
[Young Richie]
I can see your vagina!
[Young Eddie]
Ten minutes each.
[Young Richie] Go back in your dumb little corner!
I fucked your mom!
[Young Eddie] No, you didn’t.
Take that back!
You’re awfully good at this, new kid.
You really think so?
There’s actually a summer program in Bar Harbor.
Teaches you, like, everything about architecture.
I was thinking about applying.
[Young Richie] I’ll do that.
I’ll do anything to get the hell out of Derry.
Man, when I graduate, I’m going to Florida.
What’s in Florida, Mike?
I don’t know.
You know, I guess it’s just a place I always wanted to go.
Stan, you should go with Mike to Florida.
You already act 80.
You’d clean up with all the grandmas.
[imitates kissing]
[all laughing]
Do you guys think we’ll still be friends?
When we’re older?
[Young Richie] What?
Why wouldn’t we be?
Do any of your parents still hang out with their friends from middle school?
I mean, things might be different then.
We all might be different.
We’ll always still be friends.
I don’t think that just, you know, [stuttering] goes away because we get older.
[Young Beverly]
Yeah, Stan. Come on.
You don’t have to be so…
Sad.
He was old before his time.
[Eddie] Yeah.
I wonder what he was like all grown up.
Probably what he was like as a kid.
The best.
Here.
All right, Mike.
What are we doing here?
The ritual.
To perform it requires a sacrifice.
Sacrifice? I nominate Eddie.
Wait, what?
Because you’re little.
You’ll fit on a barbeque.
I’m 5’9″. It’s, like, average height in most of the world.
It’s not that kind of a sacrifice, guys.
Mike?
The past is buried.
But you’re gonna have to dig it up.
Piece by piece.
And these pieces, these artifacts, that’s why we’re here.
They are what you’ll sacrifice.
And since Stan isn’t here to find his…
I figured we should all be here together to find his artifact.
I think Bill just did that.
Okay, Mike, so where do we find our tokens?
Yeah, I gotta be honest, man.
All due respect.
This is fucking stupid, all right?
Why do we need tokens?
All right?
We already remember everything.
Saving Bev, defeating It…
I mean, we’re caught up!
It’s not everything.
We fought.
But what happened after that?
Before the house on Neibolt.
Think.
[stuttering] We can’t remember, can we?
See, there’s more to our story.
What happened that summer.
And those blank spaces, like pages torn out of a book.
That’s what you need to find.
We need to split up.
You each need to find your artifact.
Alone.
That’s important.
When you do, meet me at the library tonight.
[Eddie] Yeah, I gotta say, statistically speaking, you look at survival scenarios, we’re gonna do much better as a group.
Yeah, splitting up would be dumb, man.
Okay, we gotta go together.
All right?
We were together that summer, right?
[Bill] No.
Not that [stutters] whole summer.
[Young Bill]
Take it back.
[groans]
[Young Beverly] Bill!
You’re just a bunch of losers.
Fuck off!
Fucking…
Stop!
We were all together when we hurt It.
That’s why we’re still alive.
Yeah? Well, I plan to keep it that way.
[Young Beverly]
I bet by tomorrow, we’ll all be back together.
[stutters] I don’t think so.
Well, if we’re gonna stop It, we better be.
Maybe Richie was right.
Maybe we shouldn’t do anything about It, or maybe we can’t.
Okay, don’t let them get to you.
It’s a little late for that.
You should go.
Before your dad sees.
[doorbell rings]
Yes?
Sorry. I…
May I help you?
I thought I rang Marsh.
Marsh?
Alvin Marsh?
My father.
I grew up here.
Dear, it’s not for me to tell you this, but your father passed away.
I’m so sorry.
You didn’t know?
We hadn’t spoken in a while.
Well, won’t you come in?
Let me offer you something to drink.
No, it’s fine.
I have to go.
It’s the least I can do.
Sure. Okay.
[door closes]
Is it like you remember?
Cleaner.
Well, you feel free to look around while I get the water boiling.
Oh, really, it’s fine.
You don’t need to do that.
Don’t be so polite.
[Mr. Marsh]
Today is her birthday.
I can still smell her perfume.
And she’d still be alive if it wasn’t for you.
Mama was sick.
You know that’s why she did what she did.
She did what she did because she was embarrassed to be your mother.
You look like her.
But you are nothing like her.
Come here.
I said come here!
Close your eyes.
[sniffing]
You know that I would never hurt you.
You know that, don’t you?
[sobbing] I’m sorry.
I’m sorry.
You’ll always be my little girl, won’t you?
Always.
[laughs]
“Your hair is winter fire, “January embers…
“My heart burns there, too.”
[music playing]
There. I do apologize.
It gets so very hot here this time of year.
It’s fine.
Well, you feel like you could just about die.
But you know what they say about Derry.
“No one who dies here ever really dies.”
[clock ticking]
But tell me, how is it being back in Derry?
It’s good.
Strange.
Strange?
Oh, my.
Strange, how?
[oven timer dings]
[Mrs. Kersh] Oh.
I had some cookies in the oven before you came.
You stay right there.
I really… I shouldn’t impose…
I’m gonna…
No, no, no. I insist.
[record skipping]
Mrs. Kersh, are these your family?
Yes, dear.
My father came to this country with $14 in his pocket.
And he didn’t ask for a handout the way that people come in here these days.
You know what he did?
What did he do, Mrs. Kersh?
My father joined the circus.
[music becomes distorted]
I was always Daddy’s little girl.
What about you?
[Pennywise] Are you still his little girl, Beverly?
[Beverly breathing heavily]
Are you?
[stomping footsteps approaching]
[growling]
[Beverly yelping]
Mustn’t lie to our father!
[Mrs. Kersh cackling]
Help!
[Pennywise]
Run, run, run.
Run, run.
You haven’t changed anything yet.
You haven’t changed their futures.
You… You haven’t saved any of them.
Close your eyes, Bev.
Fuck you!
If you don’t believe, close them and see!
[laughing evilly]
[screaming]
Come on, you.
Come on.
[Connor] Ken, you little bitch…
Yes!
You’re fucking good.
[electronic voice]
Game over.
Ah, well, I gotta go.
Hey!
Um…
How about we go again?
Play some more, you know?
[Belch] Fuck you, man.
Only if you want to.
Dude, why are you being weird?
I’m not your fucking boyfriend.
Whoa, I…
I didn’t…
What the fuck’s going on here?
You assholes didn’t tell me your town is full of little fairies.
[Young Henry]
Richie fucking Tozier?
What? You’re trying to bone my little cousin?
Get the fuck out of here, faggot!
Fucking move!
[panting]
[crying]
[Pennywise]
Want a kiss, Richie?
[breathing heavily]
[rustling]
[gasps]
[roaring]
[screaming]
[Young Richie grunts]
[laughing evilly]
It’s not real. It’s not real.
It’s not real. It’s not real.
It’s not real. It’s not real.
It’s not real. It’s not real.
It’s not real. It’s not real.
It’s not real. It’s not real.
I think I just shit my pants.
[exhales]
[cheerleaders chanting]
[Adrian] Canal Days Festival.
Shit.
Closing performance is tonight.
Hope to see you there, handsome.
[Pennywise] Did you miss me, Richie?
Oh, fuck!
‘Cause I’ve missed you.
No one wants to play with the clown anymore.
Play a game with me, would ya?
How about Street Fighter? Oh, yes.
You like that one, don’t you?
[Pennywise grunts]
Or maybe Truth or Dare?
Jesus.
Oh, you wouldn’t want anyone to pick “truth,” though, would ya, Richie?
You wouldn’t want anyone to know what you’re hiding.
[Pennywise laughing]
♪ I know your secret ♪
♪ Your dirty, little secret ♪
♪ Oh, I know your secret ♪
♪ Your dirty, little secret ♪
[whimpering]
Should I tell them, Richie?
This isn’t happening.
This isn’t real.
It isn’t real. It isn’t happening.
It isn’t real.
[taunting playfully]
[screams]
[Pennywise grumbling]
Come back and play!
[distorted] Come back and play with the clown!
[horn honking]
Whoa!
I’m so sorry. Sorry.
[driver] Watch it, you jerk!
Sorry.
[laughing shakily]
[laughing]
Oh, man!
[shopkeeper] Can I help you?
Hi.
Yeah, I want to see about the…
[stuttering]
Baseball card?
The bowling ball?
No, the… [stuttering]
Banjo?
[chord plays]
Beaver?
[chitters] Fucking bike.
You wanna use that kind of language, take it out in the street.
I’m sorry.
Can we just start over and pretend that I just walked in?
How can I help you?
Thank you. Yes.
I want to buy the bike.
Aren’t you William Denbrough, the writer?
Yeah, that’s…
That’s me.
That bike used to be mine.
Well, it’s mine now.
But you’re the big author.
You want it, you can afford it.
[chuckles]
All right.
How much?
$300.
You can afford it.
I’ll get it.
[Bill] I guess that’s kind of a deal.
You… You want me to sign it for you?
Nah.
I didn’t like the ending.
[Bill] Uh…
Three big ones.
All yours.
Uh-huh.
I don’t know how fast she’ll go.
Been there a lot of years.
[Bill] You know what, mister?
She was fast enough to beat the devil.
[metal clanging]
[groaning]
[panting]
Come on.
[yelps]
[laughing] Yeah, I missed you, too.
Yeah!
Whoo!
Hiho, Silver!
Away!
[children’s laughter echoing]
Bye, Billy!
I know you’re down there.
I know you [stuttering] can hear me.
There’s something I have to know.
All of the kids in this town you could have taken, why [stuttering] Georgie?
Say something!
Why him?
[shouting] Why him?
Why him? Why him?
[sobbing]
[Pennywise] Why?
Because you weren’t there, Billy.
[Pennywise laughing evilly]
[Georgie] Billy, don’t leave.
Hello?
Billy.
I’m still here.
Help me.
Georgie.
Georgie?
Help me, Billy.
Take my hand.
Take my hand.
I’ve got you, buddy.
Come on.
[Georgie] He’s coming.
Take my hand!
I got you. Come on.
Billy, please. He’s coming.
Take my hand.
Billy!
Come on, take my hand!
[yelping]
[laughing]
[screaming]
[panting]
[childish laughing]
I hate you!
I hate you.
[Dean] Who are you talking to?
Move, move, move!
Move! Move!
You hear voices from that sewer, you stay away from it.
You hear voices from the sewer?
No.
No. Just stay away from that sewer.
I only hear voices in the tub.
You know.
From the drain.
What kind of voices?
Kids.
And other times, like a…
Like a clown?
You listen to me.
You listen good.
You need to get out of this town.
All right? Tell your parents.
Make up a reason.
You make up a fucking lie.
I don’t care what you do.
Just get out of this town.
Make them never bring you back.
Do you understand?
You leave Derry and you stay out of Derry!
Do you understand me?
I’m supposed to be at the festival.
Tell me you understand!
[breathing heavily]
I’m supposed to be at the festival.
I gotta go.
Just be careful!
[exhales]
[school bell ringing]
[students chattering]
[boy] Come on, let’s get the fuck outta here.
Wake up, fatass.
[Young Ben groans]
Fucking loser.
[sighs]
[door closes]
[Cover Girl playing on headphones]
[gasps]
Whoa.
Easy. It’s just me.
What are you and your little buddies up to in here?
Oh. Those guys are definitely not my buddies.
No, I meant your real friends.
Joey. Jonathan.
Donnie. Danny.
Oh.
[turns walkman off] Are you smoking in school?
Secret hideout.
Don’t tell anyone.
You okay, new kid?
Yeah, no, I’m fine.
I guess I’m just worried that we’re not all gonna be the same after the fight.
As long as we can still hang out, who cares?
You really mean that?
Well, yeah, of course, dummy.
You and me.
Oh, my God!
I meant as a friend.
You actually thought I could like someone as fat and gross and disgusting like you?
[lighter clicking]
No matter how many stupid poems [demonic voice] you write.
[gasps]
“Your hair is winter fire.
“January embers.
“My heart burns there, too.”
[panting]
That’s not the real Beverly.
Beverly would never say anything like that.
She’d never say that.
[screams]
Kiss me, fat boy.
[yells]
[screams]
[panting]
[grunting]
Oh, nobody wants to kiss the fat boy.
Just leave me alone.
Alone?
Oh, you’ve always been alone.
That’s not true.
I have real friends.
Bill. Eddie. Mike. Stanley.
Richie. Beverly.
They’re my real friends.
Kiss me as if it were the last time.
[grunting]
[roars]
[janitor] What the hell are you doing, kid?
[exhales]
[sniffling]
[door opens]
Guys?
[Beverly] Hey.
[Ben] Hey.
So, what did you see out there?
Something I wish I hadn’t.
So, what, we just…
We kill It, and then we just forget everything again?
I hope so.
Don’t you?
I don’t know.
I guess I want to hold on to the good stuff, you know?
Mmm.
Come on.
There must be something from the past that you don’t want to forget again.
I remember being scared shitless.
Cold.
I remember you guys in your tighty-whities.
Okay. Please forget that moment.
I remember this.
I remember the boy who wrote it for me.
Not him, so much, but how he made me feel.
And a kiss.
It’s still blurry, but I think the longer we’re here, the more I can see it.
The more I can see that moment.
The more I can see…
Bill.
I think.
I don’t know.
Do you remember…
[door opens]
Bev, um…
Move. Move.
[Beverly] What’s wrong?
I’m leaving.
[Ben] What?
You can’t leave, man.
We split, we all die.
Yeah, I’ll take my chances.
We’re gonna die, anyway.
Rich. Um…
Rich.
Hey, kids!
It’s Burrow the Beaver!
Come on down.
It’s the last day of the festival here at Canal Days.
[upbeat music playing]
Ahh!
Asshole!
[Muzak playing]
[ripping]
Hello?
[sniffing]
Can I help you?
Yeah, I called in…
I had prescription called in for Kaspbrak.
Kaspbrak?
It’s an inhaler.
Uh… Eddie Kaspbrak?
Mmmhmm.
That’s me.
I remember you.
Yeah.
Mmmhmm.
How’s your mom?
Oh, uh…
Well, she died a few years ago.
It’s very sad.
It was from liver cancer.
What’s that?
What’s what?
That.
All right.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
[grunts] No, it’s not gonna pop.
It’s a mole.
It might not be cancer.
Cancer?
But it might be.
You just stay here.
I’ll get you something.
[squeaking]
Okay.
You came here for your stinky breath pills?
[stammers] My breath is fine.
Thank you.
That’s not what my dad said.
He said you have a tumor.
On your dick.
[laughs]
But you don’t take pills for…
Wait, what did your dad say?
There you go.
I hope your dick feels better.
Thank you.
For the inhaler, not for the penis thing.
[Mrs. Kaspbrak] Eddie!
Eddie bear!
[Young Eddie] Mommy?
[Mrs. Kaspbrak] Eddie bear!
[yelps]
Mommy?
Eddie, come help me!
Quick!
[gagging]
[inhales deeply]
[Mrs. Kaspbrak] Eddie!
Mommy?
Eddie?
Eddie, help me!
Quick, help me!
Mommy?
Eddie bear, come help me, quick!
[glass shatters]
[Young Eddie gasps]
[yelping]
[screaming]
[Mrs. Kaspbrak] Eddie?
[Young Eddie] The fuck is she doing here?
What is taking you so long?
I don’t know.
Why are you here?
Mommy!
He’s coming!
You gotta get me outta here!
Who’s coming?
Eddie.
[rustling]
[Young Eddie]
What the fuck is that?
[Young Eddie breathing heavily]
[growls]
[Young Eddie whimpering]
Mommy.
You gotta get me outta here.
[growling]
[Mrs. Kaspbrak] He’s coming!
He’s gonna kill me!
Eddie!
Help! Please, help me!
He’s going to infect me!
Eddie! He’s gonna infect me!
Eddie!
[Young Eddie grunts]
Help me!
[Mrs. Kaspbrak whimpering]
[growling] Help me, Eddie!
He’s coming, Eddie!
[grunting]
Eddie, hurry!
He’s gonna infect me, Eddie!
[snarling]
[screaming]
Oh, my God!
Eddie!
Hurry up, Eddie!
[snarling]
[screaming] Eddie!
[both screaming]
[Young Eddie] I can’t do it!
[Mrs. Kaspbrak] Eddie! Eddie!
I’m sorry, I can’t do it.
[screams]
I knew you would leave me, Eddie!
[sobbing]
[both screaming]
[creature snarling]
[Mrs. Kaspbrak]
Eddie, help me!
[Mrs. Kaspbrak screaming]
[screaming]
[Mrs. Kaspbrak] Eddie!
[Young Eddie sobbing]
What’s all this shit doing here?
Why is that curtain still here?
Okay, all right.
Are you gonna do this, Eds?
It’s just a memory.
It’s just a memory.
You’re fine.
Deep breath.
Deep breath.
Okay.
You gonna do it?
[roaring]
[screaming] Shit! Oh, shit!
Oh, fuck!
[Eddie yelping]
Stop! Stop!
[choking]
[yelling]
[Eddie grunting]
That’s right!
Fuck you!
Fuck you!
[Eddie choking]
[Angel of the Morning playing]
[screaming]
What the fuck?
[whimpers]
[shouting indistinctly]
[gasps] What?
Push, don’t pull, you moron.
Oh. [laughs] Thanks.
[bells jingle]
Oh, my God.
What happened to you?
Nothing. I’m fine.
I’m fine.
Everything’s fine.
Hey, how you doing?
Where’s everybody else?
Richie wants to leave.
Ben’s upstairs trying to get him to stay.
Eddie’s just scared.
So am I, Bill.
Aren’t you?
We’re all scared.
That’s what worries me.
Because that’s what It wants.
We can do this, but we have to stick together.
[object clattering]
Should we be running?
This is Derry.
I’m kinda getting used to it.
What does that mean?
Shit. It’s the kid.
What?
It’s the kid from the place.
The Chinese place.
I saw him on the way here.
He lives at my old house.
He was going to the fair, and…
He’s going to the fair.
I gotta help him.
Okay, okay. Listen to me.
We’ll go together.
I’m gonna get Richie and Ben and we’ll go.
There’s no time.
I can’t let it happen again.
What happened before wasn’t your fault.
None of it was.
I wish that were true, Bev.
Bill! Bev!
What is this? What happened?
Uh…
Did Bill just leave?
I couldn’t stop him.
Everybody’s leaving.
It’s all right. It’s Bill.
He’ll be back.
He’ll come back.
Well, at least I got Richie to stay.
Fuck. Oh.
[car unlocks]
[engine starts]
Oh. And then the leper, he threw up all over me.
“Hey, it’s Mike Hanlon.
“Why don’t you come back to Maine?”
It’s your time, Eddie.
[yells]
[groans] [muffled] What?
[Henry laughing]
Why?
Why did you do that?
Because he says it’s your time.
Who says it’s my time?
[laughing]
You know, Eddie.
[whimpering]
You know.
Time to float.
[both laughing]
Where did he go?
Now give me back my fucking knife!
[groans]
You should cut that fucking mullet.
It’s been, like, 30 years, man.
[groaning]
[Eddie] Guys!
Oh, shit.
Eds?
[Beverly screaming]
[Ben] Jesus, Eds.
What the hell?
Bowers is in my room.
Oh, my…
[glass shattering]
[Eddie] Is it bad?
[Beverly] No.
[groans]
[Young Henry] I’m gonna carve my whole name onto this cottage cheese!
[grunting]
[groaning]
[blows kiss]
[laughing]
[Henry] One down!
Fuck yeah!
[panting]
[children chattering]
Hey!
Hey, kid! Kid!
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I’m so sorry. I’m sorry.
Hey!
Excuse me. Excuse me. Hey! Hey!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Fuck.
[carnival music playing]
[spooky laughing]
[groans] Fuck!
[groaning]
Kid! Hey, kid!
[groans]
Fuck.
Kid?
Fuck.
[grunts]
Kid?
Hey!
[grunting]
Kid. [groans] Kid? Hey! Hey!
Kid! [groans]
[gasps]
Fuck. [groaning] Shit.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
[laughing] Hey.
No, I’m here to [stutters] help.
Stop following me!
I’m gonna get you out of here.
[squeaking]
No.
Please.
[Dean whimpering]
Ah.
I’m here this time.
Just take me.
[Pennywise groans]
[laughing]
[groans]
[Bill yelps]
Son of a bitch!
[Pennywise laughing]
[groans]
[whimpering]
[Pennywise laughing]
[Bill grunting]
[Dean whimpering]
[screaming]
Help!
[Bill and Pennywise grunting]
Help!
Help!
[panting]
[whimpering]
[yelling]
[Dean screaming]
[Bill yelps]
[Bill panting]
I should go back there.
I just fucking left them in the lurch, man.
I should go back there.
What the fuck are you talking about?
Fuck that.
Fuck them.
I got dates in fucking Reno, man.
[Young Stanley singing in Hebrew]
[congregants responding]
[Young Stanley] Reflecting on the meaning of what I just read, the word “Leshanot” comes up a lot, which means “to change, to transform.”
Which makes sense, I guess, because today I’m supposed to become a man.
It’s funny, though. Everyone, I think, has some memories they’re prouder of than others, right?
[timer beeping]
And maybe that’s why change is so scary. ‘Cause the things we wish we could leave behind…
Good morning, Mike.
How you doing?
…the whispers we wish we could silence…
His pa is the one.
The one that set that fire.
…the nightmares we most want to wake up from, the memories we wish we could change… …the secrets we feel like we have to keep are the hardest to walk away from. The good stuff? The pictures in our mind that fade away the fastest? Those pieces of you it feels the easiest to lose.
Maybe I don’t want to forget.
[camera clicking] Maybe if that’s what today is all about, forget it, right?
Thank you, Stanley.
[stammering] Today, I’m supposed to become a man, but I don’t feel any different.
I know I’m a loser.
And no matter what,
I always fucking will be.
[congregants gasp] Thanks for showing up, Stanley.
[Mrs. Hanlon] Mike! Help!
[Mrs. Hanlon screaming]
Help us!
Please, Mikey, get help!
[Mr. Hanlon] Help us!
Please, Mikey, get help!
[Mrs. Hanlon] Mikey!
[both scream]
[Henry yelling]
[groans]
[laughing]
You should have burned, Mike.
[yelling]
Just like your druggie parents.
[grunting]
Can you see them yet?
[laughing] Crisping?
[both grunting]
Like fried fucking…
[groans]
[thuds]
I guess you could say that was long overdue.
Get it?
‘Cause we’re in a library.
[retches] No.
Oh…
[Beverly] Mike?
[Ben] Hey.
[Beverly] Hey. Oh, my God.
[Beverly screams]
[Beverly panting]
Are you all right?
No, I’m not all right.
I just fucking killed a guy.
I was talking to Mike.
Where’s Bill?
[cell phone ringing]
[clears throat] Bill, we’re all at the library.
Where are you at?
[stuttering] He took a little kid, Mike.
He took a little kid right in fucking front of me.
No, no, no, no, no.
Just, just…
Look, just come here to the library.
We can talk about the plan.
I’m gonna go kill It.
No, no, no. I don’t want any of you to get killed with me.
Bill! Bill!
He’s going to fight It alone.
What?
[Mike] Alone.
It’s about the group.
The ritual doesn’t work without the group.
Doing it together is why it’d work.
Mike, did he tell you where he was going?
If he really wanted to kill Pennywise, there’s only one place he’ll go.
The same place the ritual needs to be performed.
Oh, we’re not gonna like this, are we?
[sighs] Fuck.
[breathing heavily]
[Beverly] Bill!
No, no, you guys, no!
[stuttering]
I started all this.
It’s my fault that you’re all here.
This curse, this fucking thing that’s inside you all.
It started growing the day that I made you go down to the Barrens because all I cared about was finding Georgie.
Now, I’m gonna go in there, and I don’t know what’s gonna happen, but I can’t ask you to do this.
[Beverly] Well, we’re not asking you, either.
Bev…
We didn’t do it alone then, Bill, so we’re not gonna do this alone now.
Losers stick together.
So, does somebody want to say something?
Richie said it best when we were here last.
I did?
“I don’t want to die”?
Not that.
“You’re lucky we’re not measuring dicks”?
[Bill] No.
“Let’s kill this fucking clown”?
Let’s kill this fucking clown.
[Richie] Hmm.
Well, I love what he’s done with the place.
Beep-beep, Richie.
All right.
Hey, hey.
That’s the basement, right?
[groaning]
[Beverly] Ben?
[Eddie] No, no!
Hey, hey! Ben!
[both] Ben!
Ben? What’s wrong?
[continues groaning]
Ben!
Okay. All right.
[Bill] Ben!
[rattling] Okay, that can’t be good, right?
[Ben continues groaning]
[Beverly gasping] Help! Hey!
[whimpers]
[pounding on fridge door]
[both] Ugh!
It’s Stan.
[Ben screaming]
[whimpering]
[Beverly] It can’t be real.
[yelling]
Oh!
[all yelping]
Oh, God.
Shit.
[hyperventilating]
I’d still be alive if it wasn’t for you, Bill.
No.
Beverly!
[screaming]
[Pennywise laughing]
[Ben whimpering]
[knife unsheathing]
[screaming]
[grunting]
[cracking]
Richie, what’s happening to me?
[groaning]
You gotta be fucking kidding.
[laughing]
[yelps] Fuck!
Oh, God damn it, get it away from me.
Oh, God!
[snarling]
Whoa, whoa!
[yelping]
[panting]
[footsteps retreating]
[Pennywise laughing] Eddie.
Hey. Are you okay?
I’m…
Oh, there he is.
[screaming]
Get it off of me!
[Bill grunting]
[continues screaming] Get it off of me!
[Ben] Richie!
[Mike] Richie!
Richie! Hey!
[Bill grunting]
[Richie screaming]
[Richie] Get it off of me!
I wanna go home.
Get the knife!
God damn it, Eddie, get the knife!
Bill! Get it off of me, Bill!
Quick! [screaming]
Eddie, get the knife!
[grunts] Ahh! Fuck!
[grunting]
[Young Stanley groaning]
[grunting]
[Bill grunts]
[panting]
[Beverly] What?
[grunts]
[grunting]
[laughing]
Is everybody okay?
[coughing]
[Bill] You all right?
[stuttering] He could have fucking died, man.
You know that, right?
I can’t see.
Georgie’s dead. The kid’s dead.
Stanley’s dead.
You want Richie, too?
You want Richie, too?
I don’t want Richie, too.
I don’t. I don’t.
Please don’t be mad, Bill.
I was just scared.
[crying]
That’s what he wants, right?
Don’t give it to him.
A lot of memories, huh?
All bad.
[rats squeaking]
[Eddie] Oh, man.
Blech. Gray water.
Shit. This is it.
This is where it happened.
No, no, no.
No. Ugh!
[Pennywise] Bevvie.
Bev, what is it?
I thought I heard something.
[screaming]
[laughing] Bev!
Time to sink!
[laughs]
[screams] [Mike] Bev!
[echoing] Guys.
Okay, guys.
Come on.
Hey, guys.
Guys, come on.
[crying] Please, come on.
I don’t want to walk out of here alone.
[all gasping]
You okay?
[Beverly crying] I feel like crying.
Mike. Where do we go from here?
[Mike] In the depths is where It crept.
In the beneath, to find belief.
In the depths is where It crept.
In the beneath, to find belief.
Is he okay?
I think at this point, that’s a relative question.
What’s on the other side?
I don’t know.
No one does.
[Bill] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Mike.
Mike, don’t.
All right.
See you down there.
[all] Mike!
Wait! [stammers]
Stay together.
Okay.
You guys, I can’t do it.
I can’t.
You saw what happened up there.
I was gonna let you die.
I just fucking froze up.
If you let me go down there with you, I’m gonna get us all killed.
[inhales deeply]
Hey, hey, hey.
Give me that.
Give me that.
Richie.
Let go, you little turd.
Just let me get…
[inhaler spraying]
[inhales deeply]
I got it.
Stop.
Listen to me.
You had a moment.
Fine.
But who killed a psychotic clown before he was 14?
Me.
Who stabbed Bowers with a knife he pulled out of his own face?
Also me.
Who married a woman 10 times his own body mass?
Me.
Yeah.
You’re braver than you think.
All right.
Thanks, Rich.
Ow.
Sorry.
[Beverly] Hey.
Here.
Take it.
It kills monsters.
Does it?
Yeah.
If you believe it does.
Thanks, Bev.
[Mike echoing] You guys good?
[Bill] Yeah.
Can you get through that?
[Mike] It’s the only way.
This way.
It’s in here!
Through here.
It’s tight, but we can get through.
This is where It hid.
So, all this has been under Derry, like, forever?
Not forever.
Just a few million years.
It can only be attacked in its true form.
The ritual will show us that.
And what is It’s true form?
I hope it’s a puppy.
Like a Pomeranian or…
I’ll shut up.
It’s light.
A light that must be snuffed out by darkness.
Your artifacts.
Place them in the fire.
The past must burn with the present.
This is the boat that I built with Georgie.
[Eddie] It’s my inhaler.
[inhales deeply]
Come on, dude.
Something that I wish I had held on to.
This is a page from my yearbook.
That only one person signed.
I probably should have forgotten it, but I couldn’t, because I kept it in my wallet for 27 years.
This is a token from the Capitol Theater.
You brought an actual token?
[Richie] Yeah, man.
That’s what we were supposed to do, asshole.
Do you have any idea how long that’s gonna take to burn?
Yeah, but so is your inhaler, dude.
Guys, come on.
All the toxic fumes and the plastic and shit, so…
Look closely, Bev.
You see it?
That’s where you hit Bowers.
The rock fight.
The day these bonds were forged.
That’s not gonna burn, either.
Oh, wait.
Couldn’t forget about Stan, again.
[Mike] Okay.
Grab hands.
Come on.
The Ritual of Chud.
It’s a battle of wills.
The first step was our reunion.
The second was the gathering of tokens.
This is the final step.
What the…
Fuck is that?
[Mike] Don’t look at them!
[Eddie] Are those
the Deadlights?
Don’t look at it!
Okay.
Turn light into dark.
Turn light into dark. Say it!
[Eddie] Say what?
Say it!
[all] Turn light into dark.
[Mike chanting in native language]
[others in English]
Turn light into dark.
Turn light into dark.
Turn light into dark.
[continues chanting in native language]
[others chanting in English]
Turn light into dark.
Turn light into dark.
Mike, what’s happening, man?
Keep chanting!
Turn light into dark.
[Mike chanting in native language]
[others chanting in English]
Turn light into dark!
Turn light into dark!
Turn light into dark!
Turn light into dark!
[Mike] Keep chanting!
Turn light into dark!
[Mike] Keep chanting!
Turn light into dark!
[Mike chanting in native language]
[Eddie] Turn light into dark!
Turn light into dark!
Is it working?
Did we do it?
[box creaking]
[Mike grunting]
What is this?
Is this part of it?
Mike, is this supposed to be happening?
[Eddie] What? No, no, no.
Keep chanting!
What?
Keep chanting!
Turn light into dark!
Turn light into dark.
Come on!
[all] Turn light into dark.
Turn light into dark.
[whimpering]
Whoa!
[gasps]
Hey! Hey!
[all yelping]
Shit!
Move, move!
Whoa!
[groans]
[high-pitched ringing]
[muffled shouting] Bev. Bev.
[Beverly] Richie.
[Richie] Are you okay?
I can’t hear shit.
He’s okay.
[Bill] Are you all right?
[Ben] Yeah. No, no, no.
[Eddie] Wait, where’s Mike?
[Ben] Mike!
[men] Mike!
I’m here!
[Richie] Hey, guys.
Did we do it? Did we do it?
Yeah? Did we do it?
[Richie] We put the tokens in the thing.
That’s good, right?
[Eddie] We did it, right?
[all exclaim in fear]
Shit! Shit!
Oh, did it work, Mikey?
Did it work?
[Pennywise laughing]
Tell them why your silly little ritual didn’t work.
Tell them it’s all just a…
What’s the word, Eds?
Gazebo?
Mike, what’s he talking about?
[stuttering] Mikey?
Oh, Mikey, you never showed them the fourth side, did you?
[Pennywise laughing]
Didn’t want them to know what actually happened to the poor Shokopiwah?
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
[rumbling]
[Shokopiwah screaming]
Fuck, Mikey.
You lied to us, again?
[stammering] No, but they didn’t believe!
They didn’t believe they could kill It!
That’s why it didn’t work back then!
Are you fucking kidding me, Mike?
We hurt him.
Fuck!
[Bill] Fuck you, Mikey.
I needed something, anything, for us to remember.
Anything for us to believe!
God damn it!
Fuck!
[Pennywise laughing]
[all screaming]
[Beverly] The Deadlights!
Don’t look at them!
[groans]
For 27 years, I dreamt of you.
[laughing]
I craved you.
Oh, I’ve missed you! [laughs] Mike! Move back!
Waiting for this very moment.
Mikey!
You gotta move, Mikey!
Sorry. I’m sorry, guys.
[Eddie] Mike, come on, man!
I’m sorry.
I’m so sorry.
Time to float!
[all gasp]
Oh, shit!
Sorry.
[Eddie] Mike, come on, get up!
Get him up!
[Bill] Go, go!
[Eddie] Run!
Oh, shit!
[Bill] Run! Go, go, go!
[snarling]
Go, go, go!
Go!
[Ben] Go, go, go!
Where’d he go?
Don’t worry.
We’ll find a way out.
[gasps]
[coughing]
Oh, shit!
[yelps] Can he see us?
[both screaming]
Oh, my God!
[Eddie] Shit.
Oh, shit.
[Richie] Holy shit!
Holy shit! Run!
[Eddie] Oh, shit!
[both gasp]
[Richie] Shit.
You gotta be fucking kidding me.
We’re trapped.
Where do we go?
[rumbling]
[both screaming]
[grunting]
[gasps]
[screaming]
[groaning]
[yelping]
[Eddie] God damn it!
[Richie] Uh…
All right.
“Not Scary At All.” All right?
No, no, no.
[stammering]
Wait. Why?
They’re flipped.
He’s fucking with us.
Are you sure? Positive?
Trust me.
Yes!
Okay.
[woman] Where’s my shoe?
[woman tap dancing]
[woman laughing]
[Eddie and Richie screaming]
What the fuck?
You told me to trust you!
[screaming continues]
He’s not fucking with us.
Let’s go to “Not Scary At All.”
Okay. [breathing heavily] It’s all right.
Let’s go.
[panting]
Oh, shit.
No way am I falling for this shit again.
Oh, yeah.
That thing’s a fucking monster.
Richie, make it sit.
I know your moves, you little bitch.
Rich?
It’s gone, man.
Yeah. Wait.
Oh. Okay.
Okay.
Sit.
[Eddie] He did it.
Oh, that’s cute.
That’s a good boy.
That’s actually super cute.
That’s a good boy.
Are you a good boy?
[Richie] Good boy.
[snarling]
[both screaming] Shit!
Yo, next time, we just go with regular “Scary.”
Next time?
[Georgie] I lost it, Billy.
It just floated off.
[stuttering]
I’m not mad at you.
It’s your fault what happened, isn’t it?
You weren’t really that sick that morning, were you?
No.
I just pretended because I didn’t want to play with you.
I just didn’t want to.
You lied and I died.
You lied and I died.
You lied and I died!
You lied and I died!
You lied and I died!
It happened because of me, Georgie. Me.
No, no, no.
It was…
Lied and died!
[yelps]
Lied and died!
Lied and died!
[muffled]
You lied and I died!
[breathing heavily]
[suffocating]
[exhales shakily]
[pounding on door]
[yelps]
You in there, you little shit?
I can smell you.
[sniffs] You smell just like Lois Lane.
Here’s Johnny!
[voices chattering loudly]
[voice laughing sinisterly]
[liquid rushing]
[gasps]
[screaming]
[yelping]
[continues screaming]
All that success, all those sit-ups, but deep down, still just a little fat, fat, fatty loser…
[Pennywise laughing]
…who always knew he would die alone.
[screaming]
[hissing]
Slut!
Bev!
[screaming]
Beverly!
Bevvie.
Just open up the door for me, okay?
Beverly, can you hear me?
[grunting]
Come to Daddy, now.
Bev, don’t listen!
[yelps]
Bev!
Are you still my little girl, Bevvie?
[gasping]
Beverly, I love you!
Ben!
Are you still my little girl, Bevvie?
Are you still my little girl?
Not anymore!
[grunts]
[screaming] [Mr. Marsh] You little…
“Your hair is winter fire.
[whimpering]
“January embers.
“My heart…
“My heart…”
[shouting]
No!
[Ben screaming]
Ben!
[continues screaming]
Ben!
[both grunting]
[Ben gasping]
“January embers.”
“My heart burns there, too.”
It was you.
[Pennywise whooping]
We deserve to die.
No.
You were the best big brother there ever [stuttering] was.
No! We killed our little brother!
[Bill shushing]
He loved you.
And just because you didn’t want to play on a rainy day, just one time, that does not make it our fault.
[gun clicks]
[chuckling]
[gun clicking]
And it never, ever…
[breathing heavily]
…did.
[gasps]
[yells]
[coughing]
Bill.
Miss me?
[gasps] I know what you are.
That’s why I’m not afraid.
[groaning]
[laughing]
Well, I know what you are.
A madman.
[Mike yelping]
[grunts]
Hey, fuckface!
[groans]
You wanna play Truth or Dare?
Here’s a truth.
You’re a sloppy bitch!
Yeah, that’s right!
Let’s dance!
Yippeekiyay…
[gasps]
This kills monsters.
If you believe it does.
If you believe it does.
If you believe it does.
If you believe it does.
Beep-beep, motherfucker!
[howls]
[grunts]
[choking]
Holy shit!
[wheezing]
Rich!
Oh, Rich!
Hey, Rich, wake up!
Hey.
Yeah, yeah! There he is, buddy!
Hey, Richie, listen!
I think I got him, man!
I think I killed It!
I did! I think I killed It for real!
[groans]
[yelps]
[screaming]
[gasping]
Eddie.
Richie.
Richie.
[screaming]
[gasps]
[Pennywise laughing]
No!
Eddie.
Uhoh!
[screaming]
No!
[yelping]
[gasps]
[groaning]
[all] Eddie!
[Ben] Eds!
Eds! Eds!
[Richie] Eddie!
[Bill] Eds, come on, man.
[Eddie groaning]
[Ben] Be careful!
Be careful!
[labored breathing]
Come out and play, Losers!
He’s hurt.
He’s hurt really bad.
We gotta get him out of here.
How are we supposed to do that, Richie?
I almost killed It.
The leper.
My hands around his throat.
And I could feel him choking.
I made him small.
He seemed so weak.
He seemed so weak.
The Shokopiwah.
All living things must abide by the laws of the shape they inhabit.
[Ben] Guys!
There’s a passageway.
Through here.
The tunnel.
Pennywise has to make himself small to get through the entrance of the cavern, right?
Okay, so, if we can get back there, we can
force him down to size.
Yeah.
We make him small.
Small enough so we can kill him.
I can smell the stink of your fear!
[Pennywise laughing]
Let’s go! Go!
[Ben] Come on! Come on!
It’s tight. It’s tight.
Be careful!
I need a little rest.
Oh, thanks. [groaning] Hey.
Hey, Richie?
I gotta tell you something.
What?
What’s up, buddy?
I fucked your mother.
[laughing]
[Pennywise] Losers out!
[laughing]
[Bill] Go. Go!
[yelping]
[all screaming]
[Pennywise whoops]
Gotcha!
Whoa!
You filthy little children.
[laughs]
You got a plan B, man?
What the hell do we do now?
You die.
That’s what you do.
[Ben] Mike?
There’s more than one way to make someone small.
Oh!
Make him believe that he is.
[stutters] What?
Make him believe that he is.
Oh? Me?
Small? [laughs] I am the Eater of Worlds.
Not to us, you’re not.
You’re just a clown.
[growling]
You’re a weak old woman.
The Eater of Worlds.
A headless boy!
Impostor!
[snarling]
You’re a mimic!
A mimic!
You’re a fucking bully!
You’re just a fucking clown!
Eater of Worlds!
A clown!
A dumb fucking clown!
[Bill] Clown!
A leper!
[Beverly] You’re a clown!
You’re a clown!
A painting!
[Ben] You’re a clown!
[Bill] I’m not afraid of you anymore!
A motherfucking stupid mummy!
[Mike] You’re a clown!
Clown! Clown!
[all shouting]
[Pennywise groaning]
[Mike] Clown!
Clown!
You’re a fucking clown!
[Beverly] You’re a clown!
[Ben] A stupid mummy!
Clown!
[Ben] Clown, motherfucker!
I am the Eater of Worlds!
[Ben] Clown!
Clown!
You’re just a clown! Clown!
I am the Eater of Worlds!
[Ben and Bill] A clown!
[Pennywise snarls]
[Bill] Whoa!
[losers chanting]
A clown! A clown!
[screaming]
[Mike] No one’s afraid of you.
No one’s scared of you.
[losers] Clown! Clown!
Clown. Clown. Clown.
[moaning]
Clown.
Clown.
A clown.
With a scared, beating heart.
[whimpering]
[heart beating]
[snarls]
[yelps]
[whining]
[heart continues beating]
[screaming]
Look at you.
You’re all grown up.
[laughing]
[wheezing]
[dying breath]
Eddie. Eddie.
Eddie.
We got Pennywise, man.
Eddie?
[crying]
[rumbling]
[Beverly] Richie.
He’s gone.
He’s all right.
No, he’s just hurt.
We gotta get him outta here.
He’s hurt. Ben.
Bill, he’s okay.
We gotta get him outta here.
Bev.
Richie. [sniffles] What?
Honey, he’s dead.
We have to go. Come on.
Come on, Richie.
We gotta go.
Come on, buddy. Come on.
[rumbling intensifies] [Ben] Let him go, man.
Let him go.
[Bill] Got it.
[all urging] We can still help him, guys!
We can still help him!
[Ben] Go! Go! Get up!
Guys, we can still help him!
[Richie] No! Eddie!
Eddie!
[Mike] Come on!
Let’s go!
Come on! Let’s go!
Move, move!
Move, move!
[Beverly] Run!
[Mike] Run!
[all yelping]
Eddie!
No, no, no!
Eddie!
We gotta get in there and get him!
He’s still in there!
Eddie!
Eddie!
[Ben] You know what?
Eddie would have hated this, guys.
What? Cleaning ourselves in dirty water?
Yeah.
He’d be telling us we’d get streptococcal something.
[chuckles]
Yeah.
But he would have made us laugh, though.
Oh, yeah.
He’d be looking out for us.
The way he always was.
Ain’t that right, Richie?
[sobbing]
Hey.
Oh.
Thank you.
I don’t have my glasses on, so I don’t know who you people are, but thank you.
[all laughing]
I legit can’t find my glasses.
You’re serious?
Glasses?
Go that way.
Around here somewhere?
I can’t see them.
Oh, I see them. Right there.
Where?
Look. Right…
If you just go, like…
Anybody have any luck?
Hey, guys.
Look.
Nothing lasts forever.
I can’t go home like this, guys.
My mom will kill me.
Dude, you’ve been gone for 24 straight hours.
Your face is definitely on a milk carton by now.
Also, that puke smells worse than your mom’s slippers.
[Young Beverly] Oh, shut up, Richie.
Okay, first of all, my mom’s slippers smell like potpourri, asshole.
No, they don’t.
Yes, they do.
And, also, how would you know what they smell like in the first place?
[Young Mike] Can we just keep it quiet, please, until we get home?
[Young Ben] “Potpourri” is literally a French word meaning “rotten pot.”
[Young Richie] I knew there was something rotten about it.
[cell phone ringing]
[Bill sighs]
Mike?
Hey. [chuckles] I just thought I’d check up on you.
You know, just to see if you learned how to finish a book for once.
[chuckling]
I just finished the first chapter.
And I think I actually know where I’m going this time.
Good.
Say, can I ask you a question?
Sure. Why do you think we’re not forgetting?
You know, like last time?
Maybe ’cause It’s dead.
Or maybe ’cause we have more we want to remember than we want to forget.
I like that one.
You decide what you want to do?
About leaving Derry? Man, I’ve been in this cell for 27 years.
Just seeing what It wanted me to.
I think it’s time I saw the sky for a change.
Go get it, Mikey. Oh, did you get the letter?
[stammers]
What letter?
You’ll know when you see it.
Well, hold on.
I just got the mail.
We all got one. [Bill] Patricia Uris?
Just… Just read it.
Okay.
And call me.
Anytime. I will.
And, Bill, I love you, man.
I love you, too.
All right.
See you around.
[Stanley] Dear Losers, I know what this must seem like, but this isn’t a suicide note. You’re probably wondering why I did what I did. It’s because I knew I was too scared to go back. And if we weren’t together, if all of us alive weren’t united, I knew we’d all die. So, I made the only logical move. I took myself off the board. Did it work?
[Stanley sighs]
Well, if you’re reading this, you know the answer. I lived my whole life afraid. Afraid of what would come next. Afraid of what I might leave behind. Don’t. Be who you want to be. Be proud.
You sleep okay?
Yeah.
I had a beautiful dream.
[Stanley] And if you find someone worth holding on to, never ever let them go. Follow your own path. Wherever that takes you. Think of this letter as a promise.
[Eddie] A promise I’m asking you to make.
[Mike] To me. [Ben] To each other.
[Beverly] An oath.
[Stanley] See, the thing about being a Loser is you don’t have anything to lose. So…
[Young Richie] Be true.
[Young Eddie] Be brave.
[Young Mike] Stand.
[Young Beverly] Believe.
[Young Bill] And don’t ever forget…
[Young Stanley] We’re Losers, and we always will be.
