"Edward Mordrake (Part 2)" Trivia Quiz

Answer: Jimmy

Halloween night continues at the freak show, and many of the freaks themselves are asleep in their beds. The spirit of Edward Mordrake appears before several of the show's older members in a cloud of green smoke, urging them to tell their stories. Suzi tells the story of her spinal condition.

At two years old, she had her legs removed and was left at an orphanage. After the children's home she ended up on the streets. At one point she even stabbed and killed a man out of jealousy, fleeing to the freak show. Paul says that his story began at birth; he always had his shorter arms.

He joined the freak show to give the public the monster they wanted. Edward also sees Pepper and Salty in the big tent, but finds that they can not bring shame due to their innocence. All four people are spared.

Answer: They run out of gas

Mordrake appears to Elsa while she sits at her mirror and she invites him to discuss business with her. Elsa asks if he liked her performance onstage but he decries her delusional ignorance and he says he's there to claim someone to bring them to the other side. Mordrake's troupe incapacitates Elsa taking her legs off and trapping her on the bed. He asks for her story
On the way back to the grounds, Jimmy and Maggie ride their motorcycle down a dirt road and run out of gas. They have no choice but to go off-road to avoid getting seen during the curfew.

Answer: Jessie

Out in the woods, the kids in the bus tighten their resolve; they vow to escape but know that things are looking grim. They work to undo their knots, somehow working out of some of them before the clown and his new friend, Dandy, appear once again. Fortunately, this time, the clown is kind enough to open the door, allowing Jessie the chance to escape.

She does this just as Jimmy and Maggie happen to be heading down the road. They elude capture long enough to follow the clown into the woods.

Answer: Berlin

Elsa, after having her legs returned, is forced to tell of her miseries. In 1932, she begins, she worked in Berlin in one of the darkest corners of the sexual underworld granting people their most devious pleasures. Elsa had a reputation for putting on a show, in turn attracting people who she referred to as 'the watchers', who she never knew.

She traded in her humility and in the end she wasn't a real person. Mordrake is disappointed by her story and forces Elsa to tell about her legs instead.

Answer: No

Out in the woods, Jimmy tells Maggie to stay behind while he moves in to determine the clown's true intent and save the kids. Unfortunately, they've been seen; Dandy sneaks up behind them and knocks them both out. In Brandenburg, Germany, also in 1932, Elsa, at that point a top-selling underground 'performer', was cuffed to a bed and made an unwilling performer in a snuff film.

It was the first time she'd been asked to perform alone. Little did she know, they'd planned to make her a star in a different way. Revving up a chainsaw, they hastily cut off both of her legs and left her to die.

She was only saved when one of her former clients had stalked her and called the police. Mordrake's second face informs him that she is the one he needs to take and Elsa urges him to give her the solace she needs.

At the last moment, however, he needs to change his mind.

Answer: Sawing her in half

In the woods, Dandy and Twisty decide it's time to put on a show. When Jimmy awakens, the kids are seated in front of a makeshift stage while Dandy, wearing his mask, commences sawing Maggie in half in a magic act and the evil clown plays a tiny piano. Able to free himself from his ropes, Jimmy jumps on stage and knocks Dandy out, allowing everyone else to escape, but not before he's choked out and brought back to the bus. Just before he can be killed, a green mist rolls in and Mordrake interrupts Twisty from carrying out the deed.

Answer: A gaping disfiguration

Dandy, incensed that his show can't be finished, chases the others down but Maggie sends the kids off to the road and to escape. Dandy pursues her instead, getting lost and having his Halloween ruined.
Back at the bus, Mordrake asks Twisty the Clown to remove his mask, revealing a horrible disfiguration. He's asked to tell his story.
It was 1943 and Twisty was a special carnival clown who loved children. The freaks, however, hated him. The freaks made him believe that the police were after him for taking advantage of the children and because of this he ran away. Word traveled around the carny circuit and he wasn't able to find work so he traveled back home to Jupiter.

Answer: Twisty the Clown

Twisty, feeling as though he wouldn't be able to escape the police, even at home, found no other resort. Returning to his bus, he decided to stick a shotgun into his mouth and end it all but it didn't kill him. Instead it simply disfigured him. Shortly after his accident he tried to find work at the local freak show but didn't find acceptance with the others. Recently he tried to save his 'captives'-- he needed to prove to the children that he was better than the freaks, so he made shows for them, got them a babysitter, and proved better than their parents. Mordrake finds the story to be ideal and decides to bring him along as a member of his troupe, killing him and fading away into the night.

Answer: Yes

Dandy, returning to the scene of the show, finds Twisty dead, having been stabbed by Mordrake. The death doesn't seem to concern him too much. Instead, he dons Twisty's mask and departs into the night as the sounds of police cars echo in the distance. By sun-up, the cops find Jimmy in the bus and Maggie is able to corroborate the story; the cops cite Jimmy as a hero and it seems as though no one can identify the second clown.

When the detectives compliment Jimmy on his humility, Jimmy instead decides to turn things around and speak out for Meep.

They make it back to the freak show grounds a short time later.

Answer: Hollywood

Jimmy returns to the freak show to inform Elsa that the curfew has been lifted. The killer was found and stopped by none other than Jimmy. When Maggie gives him a kiss, Elsa comments that perhaps she's enchanted him. Both Elsa and Jimmy note that Mordrake made appearances before them in some way and it becomes apparent that he claimed the victim he sought out, leaving Elsa and her coterie behind.
Cars pull up at the freak show soon after Jimmy's return to express their gratitude. With Jimmy a hero, and on rare occasion, there seems to be acceptance. Elsa takes the opportunity to invite the community to a grand performance in the big top that evening.
As the big top tent is put back in order, Elsa informs Bette and Dot that they're warming up for the pinheads. A man named Richard Spencer makes his appearance to pick up some tickets, but Elsa doesn't know he's actually Maggie's partner in crime, Stanley. Dropping the name Hollywood, California, he's given a seat.
Returning to his estate, Dandy, wearing Twisty's mask, walks into the dining room to find Dora cleaning the table. Finally, he's able to commit to what he's always wanted to do; he slices her throat with the scissors from Twisty's bus and laughs gleefully to himself.
