Once upon a time there was a little town in Maine
called Haven.
God, you can put everyone to sleep.
Fine, you do it!
Thank you, I will.
Some townsfolk of Haven--
- "townsfolk"? - Shut up.
Some of the residents have supernatural afflictions.
We call them "troubled."
Their afflictions are passed down
through their families.
The troubles have been dormant for some time,
but they've recently come back.
Fortunately, Audrey Parker came to town
and joined the police department.
She seems to have special insights into Haven.
For some reason, she's not affected by the troubles.
Audrey's partner on the police force is Nathan Wuornos.
And helping out from the wrong side of the law is Duke Crocker.
Of course, we're the real aces in the hole.
Vince and Dave Teagues,
brothers and owners of the Haven Herald.
We keep the town's history
and guard its most enigmatic secrets.
"Enigmatic secrets"?
That's a little redundant.
I could say the same thing about you, Vince.
Now, can we please get to our Christmas story?
♪
Isn't it a little early
to be putting up Christmas decorations?
Really?
When should they go up?
Ah, Haven's finest!
On the house.
Oh, no, no, Joe. No, really, I'm--
I'm fine. I'm full. I--
I insist.
You take care of people like me.
Keep our troubles away.
Uh, we got a call.
♪
Okay, seriously,
what's the deal with all these Christmas decorations?
Is there some reindeer festival I don't know about?
Lay off, Scrooge.
It's my favorite time of year.
Uh, summertime?
- Thanks for coming, chief. - So you have a runaway girl?
Caught her sneaking around the theater
looking for her mother.
Were you able to get a hold of her mom?
She doesn't have one.
I know her father.
He's a single dad.
This is Hadley.
Hadley, these nice people are--
did you find my mom?
Uh, no.
No, I'm sorry. We didn't.
But we're gonna go ahead and call your dad.
I'm Audrey.
I used to sneak into movie theaters, too.
Hey, listen, you know, I...
I don't have a mom either, so I understand.
- Are you playing this right now? - No.
The sound system hasn't worked in three years.
That's weird.
Weird?
What? It's Christmas Eve.
It's a Christmas miracle, huh?
Get her out of here.
Go, Nathan! I'll go up top!
Where are you, Parker?
Parker!
I got ya!
Breathe. You okay?

Thanks, guys.
Okay.
Guy's got a cervical fracture and tore up his neck.
But he'll be all right.
Christmas lights?
I know. It's a hell of a thing on Christmas Eve, huh?
Okay. All right.
Listen, enough with this weird joke, all right?
It's not Christmas Eve. It's July.
Christmastime.
Don't be a Grinch.
- I know you hate Christmas-- - correct.
I hate all the fake cheer.
I hate the fact that you have to put up decorations.
Yeah, but you put them up with your family.
You have some cocoa, and you--
you don't have a family.
That's why you hate Christmas.
- Yeah. - You think, Dr. Phil?
But you know what? You're missing the point.
The point is that it's not Christmas Eve.
If that's how you want to deal, that's fine.
I really don't know what's going on, okay?
But you're wrong.
That man-- he almost died.
You don't think that there really could be
some kind of Christmas trouble, do you?
Shh, shh. Don't say anything.
Hey, this is Parker.
We're on our way in.
Listen, if you see anyone suspicious
putting up Christmas crap anywhere,
I need you to bring them in.
Copy that. But why?
It's Christmas Eve.
This thing is possessed.
It erased our lead story. We need a new printer.
We can't afford it. I just checked the books.
Here we go. Every Christmas...
The Herald is up 12%.
We only lost $10,000 this year.
Vincent, we're not in this for the money.
We're in it to "adjust" what really goes on in this town.
Maybe it's, uh...
Time for a change.
This came for us.
It's an offer to buy out the Herald.
Someone wants to shut us down,
so more people buy the, uh, big paper out of Bangor.
That's an insult.
- No, it's a gift. - It's an insult.
No, it's a gift.
We practically give the paper away.
There are less outdated ways to adjust what really happens.
After all these decades as newsmen,
you want to try blogging?
Well, I won't sell!
Just one Christmas, it would be nice
if you laid off the doom and gloom.
♪
You don't need to thank me.
It was the people at the theater that found her.
They said that she was looking for her mom.
That's my Hadley-- always makin' stuff up.
You know, it's tough...
Not having a mother.
Yeah. It's, uh-- it's hard to talk about.
Right. So you should probably get your daughter home.
Fire department--they got multiple vehicle collisions,
a lot more than usual.
And, uh, half a woman's body washed up onshore.
First report in this morning.
Don't worry. I sent someone out there.
Happy holidays.
A truck hit the Mohaine bridge?
Okay.
♪
Merry Christmas.
Stan!
What can I do for you?
Found a guy that looks suspicious,
leaving Christmas stuff all over town.
Okay. Now we're talking.
All right.
Want to lose the costume?
Huh?
You mind telling me why everybody seems to think
that it's Christmas Eve?
'Tis the season!
Now, would you like to come sit on my lap?
Oh! Oh, oh! Oh, oh!
No, it's me. It's me. It's me.
It's me.
Very funny, guys.
Not gonna forget this, and neither will you.
Wow.
Audrey, you tried to beat up Santa.
Well, this is a pretty elaborate joke.
You guys decorated half the town.
What about that guy whose neck we almost broke?
Was that-- wait. Was that a stunt guy?
That's funny. That was funny.
What are you talking about?
Well, you're in on all this, aren't you?
What'd you do, cash in half of your parking tickets?
Wha-- you know...
Nathan told me that you were struggling
with the holidays, and...
It was my idea to bring in the Santa suit.
Wait. You think that it's Christmas, too?
It's July.
Yeah.
So?
If Christmas was in the summer,
then why would Santa wear such a warm suit?
Because he lives in the north pole, Audrey.
Wow. You're right. She's--
you are obviously going through a lot.
And if...
You're upset about the guys,
they're just trying to have some fun.
I mean, you keep to yourself.
This is a trouble.
It has to be.
Parker?
Park--
Parker.
Nathan.
Stan, what is going on?
More power outages.
And we can't get the substation on the phone.
You know, it was like bumper cars trying to get in here--
lights out all over the place.
Where's Stan?
Who's Stan?
And then Stan just disappeared.
He was just talking to all of us?
Yes, he's worked here for years.
Audrey?
Is there someone that we should call for you,
like a-a therapiut
or a guru?
I'm sorry, I just can't take you seriously in that outfit.
Really? You're gonna be mean to Santa?
Okay.
Good luck finding your imaginary friend.
Have fun.
Okay, so the guy that fell off the ladder--
if his spotter disappeared, he would've fallen.
And then Stan vanishes into thin air.
I just don't understand what it has to do with Christmas.
The holidays do make people crazy.
Nathan, it's not Christmas Eve.
I want to believe you.
- I always believe you. - But?
But...
Everyone knows it's Christmas Eve.
I'm sorry.
Okay, why don't we just go to ground zero, right?
Joe's bakery--he hinted that he was troubled.
And that's when I noticed
all the Christmas decorations going up.
I have a dozen car accidents.
There's a power outage or some problem at the airport.
So I don't really have time to go to a bakery.
Fine.
You deal with that, and I'll go find the source.
Do you want to take someone with you?
Actually, yes.
I think I have a Santa who owes me.
♪
Merry Christmas.
You know, I'm flexible this year--
naughty or nice.
Right? Okay.
What?
Hey, you wouldn't let me change, okay?
Come on, get into it.
You know, look, t-there's Santa
and--and a creepy elf guy.
Look, look at this. Look at this.
A dog with antlers! Come on.
- No. - Antlers!
- No. - Nothing?
Wow, Nathan-- Nathan was right.
You really do hate Christmas.
Not exactly a big holiday in foster homes.
Believe me, nothing memorable.
Well, you know, if you had family Christmases like mine,
not remembering wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
- You like Christmases? - Yes, I do.
Well, this isn't Christmas. This is a trouble.
This is more Christmas-y than it was before.
And Joe might be troubled.
Wait. That wasn't like that earlier.
That was "Haven Joe's bakery," right?
Audrey, the Haven bakery has always been "the Haven bakery."
Wait. Hey, where's Joe?
Where's your boss--Joe?
Where's--where's Baker Joe? Where's your boss--Joe?
I will never forgive you
if you get me banned from the bakery.
- Do you know where Joe is? - I'm sorry.
Big personality. Owns the place.
Okay. Okay. Kung fu Christmas.
Come here. Look, listen to me.
You need to calm down, all right?
Nobody knows what you're talking about.
Listen, this is the first place that I realized
that there was something different.
But there was a report that came in from earlier.
Yes. Come on.
I'm sorry, she's just...
Not in the Christmas spirit.
Duke!
So, what, they only found half her body?
What does that have to do with disappearing?
Could only half of her have disappeared?
I don't know. I've seen a lot of big fish out there.
Well, she wasn't bitten.
And this is too clean of a cut to have been a propeller.
Where's the ambulance?
Where are the other cops?
Well, maybe they're busy with other cases around town.
Guy said they tried to call 911 again,
- but it didn't work. - What?
No one answered.
Huh.
You're gonna leave me here with the half dead body?
Hey, where are you?
I'm down at Chester's cove.
You know that 911 isn't answering?
Town really is falling apart.
Well, um, I got a crime scene over here.
Can you just send somebody over?
Funny. Send someone. Who?
I'm sorry, what?
Who else would I send?
You and I are the only cops in Haven.
Parker? Parker.
♪
Oh, no.
Uh, you know Nathan Wuornos, right?
No.
I mean, does anybody really know that guy?
Oh. Oh, thank God.
I thought you were saying that he disappeared, too.
That would make for a good Christmas.
Remind me...
What was under here?
What?
All right, weird Haven Christmas events--
anything come to mind?
Not really.
Oh, there was the gingerbread man incident.
You can imagine the cover-up!
Cover-up we couldn't do...
If we sold the Haven Herald.
Oh, we're discussing that now.
Yes, we're having that discussion.
Okay, what about anything where people are disappearing?
Here's something.
November 5, 1955--
a man claims to have made all of his neighbors
and most of his family disappear.
But they never existed. But he insisted they did.
So everyone thought he was crazy.
Sound familiar?
Here's one other thing, happened around the same time.
Something else did turn up.
A full-sized train on its own track,
surrounding a weird, green field with a bunch of horses.
No explanation where they came from.
Okay, well, what can you tell me about him?
Insane Arthur Chambers-- about 50, family man.
- Oh, wait. Chambers. - Yeah.
I met a guy named Chambers this morning.
He came to pick up his missing daughter.
If--if they're related,
then he could've made his wife disappear.
Maybe he's the one who's causing all this.
And what happened to the-- the O.G. Chambers?
Tried to "bring everyone back," he said.
But it didn't work. Killed himself soon after.
Lovely.
No one he described ever reappeared.
If they ever lived, they were gone forever.
Okay. Well, whatever this trouble is,
if we don't stop it, everybody in the town of Haven
could disappear.
Well, that'll make deliveries an awful lot easier.
And a lot cheaper.
Everyone in Haven gets a paper delivered to their door,
all 3,101 of them.
Wait. What? How many?
3,101 citizens in Haven.
Check the masthead in today's edition.
Guys...
Last I checked, Haven had over 20,000 people in it.
♪
Glad you're here.
Not easy keeping up with everything today.
I'm looking for the address for a suspect.
Aha! Damn it, you're still here.
It was my one Christmas wish, and it didn't come true.

Maybe you guys should be partners.
Hey, hey. You didn't hear Vince and Dave's story.
Who's your suspect?
Gordon Chambers. He was in earlier today.
Looks like he moved to Derry.
Maybe he left town
because he knew what he was gonna do to Haven.
Hey, come with us.
Somebody's got to stay here.
We are the only police.
If you are the only police, Nathan,
then why are there all these desks?
Why are there all these offices?
W-why are you the only classmates
in the class photo?
This is-- it's where the--
it's where the photographer put us.
Remember?
Nathan, I'm your partner, right?
Yes.
- You trust your partner? - Yes.
Thank you.
This is a nice moment.
But, um, we should probably go.
Hmm? Okay, I'll go wait in the car.
Listen, I know that this doesn't make any sense, okay?
But I need you to come with me.
Make it, you know, my Christmas present or something.
I hope you're happy,
'cause I'm starting to hate Christmas, too.
Hell of a way to start Christmas morning.
What are my chances of getting a wrecker on the radio out here?
Give it a shot.
I'll try and move these cars.
I'll supervise.
I hate this song.
You know what present I always wanted when I was a kid?
No, but I have a feeling you're going to tell me anyway.
A chrome lightning race sled...
Polished bottom.
- Beveled rails. - Yeah.
I wanted the same thing for Christmas.
Wait.
You two wanted the same thing?
That's weird.
Okay, I hate to cancel Christmas morning,
but the population was...
Almost twice this just a few hours ago.
Really?
Hey, Audrey, come--come check this out.
Doesn't it look like that the--
the car just sort of...
- Smashed into thin air? - Yeah.
That's weird, right?
It must be hard to be the only person who knows
when things get...
- Funky around here. - Yeah.
Trust me, being right all the time--
it's not always the greatest thing.
Yeah, I know.
You know, it's tough for people like you and me.
Maybe I could help you with that.
- You could help me. - You talking to yourself?
Huh?
Wait.
Wha--
did someone else disappear?
Duke-- you know, our friend?
He's got a mustache, a goatee.
He wears a lot of jewelry, makes all these jokes,
only looks out for himself.
I'm friends with that guy?
Okay, when this happened in the '50s,
the people that disappeared...
They never came back.
We got to find that troubled person.
What happened?
What is it?
A wall...
A really big one.
We're trapped.
Not even a scratch.
I think this thing is made of glass...
Really thick glass.
Not any kind of glass I've ever seen.
Stand back.
Well, you think we can go around?
No. See how it curves?
I bet you it circles the whole town.
This thing coming down--
that would explain that woman being cut in half.
And she was near the town border, too.
So why hasn't anybody on the outside run into it yet?
Are they forgetting all of us, too?
Pretty soon there's not gonna be
any of us left to forget.
That number's gone down 500 since we've been standing here.
- We need to get to Derry... - Mm-hmm.
Find Chambers now.
Yeah, but if we're trapped in Haven,
maybe he is, too.
According to that file, he still owns a store in town.
- What kind of store? - Toys.
Hello?
He's not here.
Just like the article Dave showed me--
look at this.
Arthur Chambers brought a train like this to life,
and people disappeared.
Takes playing with your toys to a whole new level.
You think that's what's happening now?
With Christmas toys?
Something with a giant glass dome.
Like this.

Maybe Gordon Chambers is bringing snow globes to life.

That I never had a wife.
But that's impossible, because I have a daughter.
She has to have a mom.
So you know about Arthur Chambers?
Grandpa, who loved building his model trains.
I guess a little too much.
He said that we were all troubled,
and that one day we'd make our loved ones
vanish forever, too.
And nobody would ever know that they ever existed.
I never thought that was true.
And then today it happened.
