Murder Family

Mrs. Mayberry teaches an elementary school class, talking about how one can lead a good life but still be sent to Hell for one sin, before showing the day that she committed said sin. As class begins she and her students are singing about learning and the day to come, when one of her students reminds her it’s her husband’s birthday. Mrs. Mayberry panics, as she forgot and hadn’t gotten him a present, when one of her students asks if they can call him as a happy birthday surprise, which Mrs. Mayberry agrees to, using the classroom computer to video call her husband. However, much to her and the class’ shock and horror, Jarold Mayberry is in bed having sex with another woman, which causes Mrs. Mayberry to snap and storm out of the classroom, throwing a student who tries to calm her down into the ceiling on her way out. Driving home, her students watch the video call in horror as Mrs. Mayberry violently kills her husband and attacks the woman with a gun and chainsaw, before she takes her own life upon realizing what she had done in front of her students.

It then cuts to Blitzo’s office at I.M.P Headquarters, where Mrs. Mayberry, now a demon, has been telling him the story as background for why she wants to hire the company’s services. Blitzo mocks her, telling her that I.M.P only kills targets in the living world, and from the sound of it, everyone involved in her tale is probably down in Hell with them. Mrs. Mayberry then reveals that while she successfully killed her unfaithful husband, the woman he had been in bed with, Martha, not only survived, but is also treated as a hero because of it, appearing on talk shows, receiving two million dollars in donations, and complimented by everyone around her, which infuriates Mayberry.

In the office lobby, Loona and Millie watch as Moxxie uses a crossbow to shoot pictures held up by Loona for target practice, until he goes to shoot the last photo and sees it is of a human family. When Millie tells him to stop shaking, otherwise he’ll hit Loona, Moxxie tells her he can’t bring himself to shoot the picture, as he doesn’t want to kill an innocent family. Millie reminds him if that’s what the client wants, he’ll have to do it, while Loona berates him, saying appearances can be deceiving, and invents reasons why the family in the picture could be horrible people. Millie then tells him morality isn’t their business, killing is. Just as Moxxie is steeling himself to take the shot, Blitzo suddenly slams open the door to introduce Mrs. Mayberry to the rest of the staff, startling Moxxie who fires the crossbow. The crossbow bolt ricochets around the room bouncing off the walls and ceiling, hitting a computer monitor, the picture, and the leg of a fish tank before Blitzo catches it in time to stop it hitting Mrs Mayberry in the eye. The fish tank then collapses, spilling water and the electric eels within it across the floor, before the eels set fire to the office, much to Blitzo’s anger.

Outside the office, a fire crew packs up after extinguishing the blaze, and Blitzo walks Mrs. Mayberry to a taxi, telling her they’ll kill the target within 24 hours or else it’s free. Moxxie asks him since when have they made that offer, and Blitzo angrily tells him it was when he just set fire to the office in front of a client, before asking if the grimoire they use to access the living world survived the blaze. Loona confirms she grabbed the book, and Blitzo offers her a treat, which she declines, so Blitzo eats it himself, disgusting her. After drawing the symbol needed to pass into the living world on the side of the building, Blitzo, Millie, and Moxxie head through to kill their latest target.

Arriving at the lakeside home she is living in, Blitzo and Moxxie approach the house to find Martha, her husband Ralphie, and their two children sitting down for dinner. Blitzo offers to let Moxxie kill the target, but upon seeing her family he hesitates. Blitzo, telling Moxxie he took to long to decide, goes to shoot Martha himself with a sniper rifle, but Moxxie asks him if they’re killing a family. Blitzo tells him they’re not killing a family; they’re ruining a family by killing the mother. Moxxie attempts to make him to think about what they’re doing, before he knocks the rifle causing Blitzo to miss. Inside the house, having heard the gunshot, Martha asks her husband, Ralphie what that was, and Ralphie responds that whatever it was is going to be turned into tomorrow nights dinner while bringing out his shotgun from under the table and taking a more sinister appearance. Martha, who then drinks a whole glass of wine, grabs her own shotgun and becomes insidious herself, orders her children to bring out their own guns, which they do, revealing that the whole family is a pack of murderous maniacs.

Outside, Blitzo chastises Moxxie for ruining his shot. Moxxie apologizes as the family seemed so innocent and that it caused him to panic, but Blitzo argues that no-one is truly innocent and that all humans are evil from the day they were born. As they argued, a gunshot suddenly blows a hole in the wall and wounds Blitzo’s arm. Blitzo commands everyone to scatter and retreat, which he and Millie did while Moxxie hid in the bushes as another gunshot blew out the window through which Martha and Ralphie pursued his co-workers. Moxxie then attempts to run away, but is caught by the tail and captured. Ralphie chases after Millie, who runs to the jetty and hides in the water of the lake. Ralphie looks for her holding a bottle as a weapon, then Millie surprises him by jumping through the jetty itself. After a brief fight, he manages to hit her out with the bottle, knocking her unconscious.

Meanwhile, Moxxie wakes up tied to a chair to the sight of the kids. He attempts to make peace with them, but then they creepily tell him “it’s nice to have a new critter to play with” at the same time, disturbing him. Moxxie then looks around the room, seeing several taxidermized human heads and pieces of tanned human skin mounted on the walls, and a roast human on the table in front of him, making him very worried.

In the forest, Blitzo continues to run as Martha shoots at him and cackles. As she goads Blitzo, he manages to find refuge behind a tree. But as soon as he was able to find refuge behind a tree, he gets a call from Stolas. After fuddling with the phone a bit, he answers the call and states to Stolas that is was a really bad time at the moment, to which Stolas questions that if there is ever a bad time. Blitzo then demands what he wanted, and Stolas answers that it was about the grimoire that Blitzo borrowed from him, which he needs to perform his own duties. Just then, Martha blasts a hole in the tree Blitzo was hiding behind after hearing Blitzo talking on the phone, forcing him on the run again. Stolas then offers to let Blitzo continue using the book in exchange for “favors”. Blitzo demands that he’d keep the language of the deal simple, so Stolas does so: Once a month on the full moon, Blitzo will return the book to him, as well as have extreme sex with him like before, and in exchange, Stolas will let Blitzo keep the book for the rest of the time. Wanting to end the call quickly, Blitzo agrees to this bargain, and an elated Stolas goes off on a expletive laden rant about his sexual fantasies with Blitzo, which distracts him long enough for Martha to knock the phone out his hand and restrain him at the neck with the but of her shotgun. Though interested at seeing an actual demon, Martha wasn’t going to let him or his fellow demons harm her family and vows to send them back to Hell (meanwhile Stolas continues on with his fantasy rant).

Back in the house, Moxxie sees a fire through the windows. Realizing that Millie and Blitzo were in trouble, he rocks the chair backwards and onto the daughter, freeing himself with the knife she had and runs towards the fire. There, Martha and Ralphie have Blitzo and Millie tied to a stake, and are preparing to burn them alive to return them to Hell. As Martha ignites the wood and expects them to burn, Blitzo and Millie just sit there immune to the flames, as Blitzo mocks their efforts and offers to fake it to make them feel better. Martha then decides to shoot Blitzo in the mouth after her brief disappointment, but before she can, she is shot in the head by Moxxie, who retrieved the sniper rifle that he and Blitzo had lost back at the house.

As Ralphie runs back to the house in panic, Moxxie frees the pair from the still burning stake, and while Millie is happy to see Moxxie and hugs him, Blitzo tells him he’s not getting paid for the job before collapsing to the ground clutching his gunshot wound. Moxxie apologizes to his boss for interfering with the assassination as he helps Blitzo to his feet. Blitzo accepts the apology and pulls him into a hug, but strictly warns him if he pulls a stunt such as that ever again, he’ll hurt both him and Millie. Blitzo calls Loona to open a portal back to Hell, but Moxxie tells him he left some things back at the house.

Heading there through the woods, Moxxie passes Blitzo’s phone, where Stolas is still raving about what he wants to do in bed with Blitzo, and reaches the house. There he confronts the family, and tells them that while they’re monsters, he’s not going to kill them and instead is going to report them to the human authorities. After mistakenly trying to call them with a universal remote Ralphie got for his kids, Moxxie calls them with the kitchen phone before leaving the house.

Rejoining the others at the portal on a hill overlooking the house Moxxie pauses as the others return to Hell while he watches the police arrive at the house. Instead of the husband and his kids being apprehended, the house is obliterated with the family still inside by a missile fired from a police helicopter. Moxxie looks at the demolished house in shock before Blitzo grabs him by the neck and pulls him into the portal. Back in Hell, Mrs. Mayberry and the rest of the I.M.P staff congratulate him for killing Martha at a party celebrating the job with cake, ignoring the distressed expression on his face.
