Alone in the Dark (1982) Movie Script
1
- Tom.
Hello, ma'am.
- Hello, preacher.
- How are you?
- I'm fine.
Want to see the menu?
- No, I think I'll just have the usual.
- All right.
- Kinda slow, isn't it?
- I hear they are calling for rain.
- I will cause distress onto men
for they have sinned
against the Lord.
And their blood shall run out as the dust.
And their flesh, as dung.
- You have come among us to
cleanse the world, my son.
- And by blood.
- Hello.
I'm Dan, uh, Dr. Daniel Potter.
I had an appointment
with Dr. -30.
But my car broke down, I
couldn't get to a phone.
Hope I can still see him.
- I'm afraid you can't see Dr. Bain.
- Oh.
Um, well,
do you have any idea, when
I might be able to see him?
- You cant see him at all.
- Why, isn't he here?
- No, he's here.
- Oh, then, um,
you have any idea when he'll be free?
- Leo's always free.
- Is he free now?
- He's always free.
- Then why cant I see him?
- Because he's invisible.
Melody was a receptionist
before she was admitted here.
Its good therapy for her.
- Thanks for coming to my rescue anyway.
- No problem.
I felt the same way when I first got here.
Everything seems turned upside down
but when you see the results...
- I know.
It's...
- Scumbag.
- Shh.
- His work is really incredible.
- It's like a miracle the
way he gets through to people
everyone else has written off.
His methods may seem a little
bizarre, but they work.
I've been here since Leo founded
the hospital six years ago.
Feels like forever.
Have you actually met him yourself?
- No, no, just on the phone.
But I think were gonna
understand each other.
- Well, be prepared for anything.
He's very unique.
Leo?
This is Dr. Potter.
- I know.
I know.
Great to see you, Dan.
- Oh, Leo.
Thanks.
- So now tell me.
What are you experiencing?
- Well, actually, I, haven't had much
of a chance to react yet.
I was a little amused by
your receptionist though.
- What happened?
- Nothing, it's just that when
I asked if I could see you
she said you were invisible.
- To Melody, I am invisible.
- Sounds like Bain is
completely off the wall.
- That's quite possible.
He does get results though.
Maybe that's your problem, hon.
- What's that?
- Maybe you gotta be a little
crazy to be a good shrink.
Yikes.
- Oh, Deb!
- Oh, God, Dan.
- It's all right, I'll
just make another one.
- You know, a little bit of Krazy Glue
and you'd never know this was broken.
- Better get epoxy.
What's the matter with Krazy Glue?
- You could get your
fingers stuck together.
Then you'd have to go to the hospital.
- Oh, come on, don't get serious.
- I am serious.
I read about it in the National Enquirer.
- When do you read the National Enquirer?
Wait a, wait a minute,
will you wait a minute?
Where does she read the National Enquirer?
- Don't ask me.
I cant keep up with her.
- What was this thing anyway?
- Matching flower vase.
What about these guys
on the third floor?
- Guys on the third floor,
oh, I don't know.
I haven't met them yet.
They sound like a pretty
rough bunch though.
- I don't see why you
cant have a nice office
and treat neurotics
like everybody else.
- Well, guess I just prefer psychopaths.
What else can I say?
- As far as I'm concerned,
those men on the third
floor are voyagers too.
The state wouldn't let me keep them here
unless I had maximum security.
I said no.
No way.
I'm running a haven
here, not a jail house.
So we have this special security system
on the third floor only.
No bars.
All run by electricity.
- Aren't these men still
potentially violent?
- What do you expect?
It's a violent society.
Anyway, they've passed that
point on their journey.
They're working through other things now.
Actually what I feel
about all this crap is
they are better off in there.
Too scary outside.
They wouldn't survive.
- Hey, Leo.
- What do you say, Ray?
This is Ray Curtis.
Dan Potter, Ray is the floor monitor.
- Hey, Ray.
How you doing?
- How you doing?
- Everything all right today?
- So far.
Hawkes set off the window
alarm again last night.
- Oh.
- But, uh, aside from that, uh,
everything is cool.
- Good.
- Uh, good luck.
- Thanks, Ray.
- Frank Hawkes.
Frank Hawkes was a
prisoner of war in Somalia.
So its important for him to feel that
he knows the way out wherever he is.
Hello, friends.
This is Dan Potter.
He's gonna be helping
you along for a while.
- Where's Harry Merton?
- Dr. Merton had to leave to
help people somewhere else.
- Dan, this is Ronald Elster.
Hi, Ronald.
Colonel Frank Hawkes.
Frank.
- This is Byron Sutcliff.
- Hi, Byron.
- Byron used to be a minister.
He's very deeply into
his own space just now.
Our friend over there is John Skaggs.
That's the bleeder?
Oh yes.
John doesn't particularly like
to show his face to strangers.
- Well, Dr. Bain has told me
how much you all admired Harry Merton.
Uh, unfortunately, he did have
to leave and I'm here now.
Well, I guess, I'll see you later.
- Dr. Potter!
Happy, trails.
- I hear you, Frank.
- Potter, killed,
Harry Merton.
Now,
Potter wants to kill us.
- He that smiteth a man that he die
shall surely be put to death.
- We'll kill Potter when he comes back.
- Not here.
Where?
- Outside.
- We cant get out.
- We'll get out,
when the time is right.
- Dan, I really wish you'd pick up Toni.
- You know, this is gonna
be a tough day for me.
She can get a taxi at the airport.
She'll be fine.
- I just don't know if I
can handle her by myself.
That's all.
- Oh, come on.
Sure you can.
- Are you finished with this?
- Yeah.
- You know, the last time you saw Toni,
she wasn't feeling very well.
- No foolin'.
- All right.
Look, I've talked to her on the phone
and I've spoken to her doctor.
She's fine.
She's probably better off now
than she was before the
whole thing happened.
- I hope so.
- Breakdowns can sometimes
be very cleansing.
Why don't you give her a chance?
She's a great girl, you know.
- Don't you think you better
get dressed for school?
- As soon as I finish.
- Ah, when might that be?
- As long as it takes.
I don't speed read, you know.
- Well, you better start.
- Free yourself up, Dan.
Come on.
Loosen yourself up.
You're not at Payne Whitney anymore.
We don't lock people up here
and fry their brains with electricity.
Sit down.
People here aren't called patients.
They are voyagers.
Uh, do you mind if I smoke?
- No, not if you need to.
- Need to?
I don't need to.
I want to.
Oregon sinsemilla.
Its a great herb.
Oh, boy.
You see, Dan, what the medical
gang calls schizophrenics
are people who've taken a journey
into the inmost reaches of the psyche.
Most psychiatrists haven't
the guts to follow them there.
But I believe in you, Dan.
I believe in you.
Always remember what
the Hindu mystic said.
"Mind, moving fast, is crazy.
Mind slow is saint.
Mind stopped,
is God."
- Ray, this is quite nice.
Quite nice.
- Thank you.
Have a seat.
- Sure.
- Would you, uh,
like some herbal tea?
- Oh, no, thanks.
No, thanks.
- That's cool.
Dr. Potter, Hawkes says that
you killed the last doctor.
So, they're going to kill you back.
- Okay.
- So, what are you gonna do?
- Nothing.
What you described to me
is actually pretty common
among people in treatment.
A man like Hawkes, I
mean he's got a problem.
Paranoia.
He can't accept the fact that Harry Merton
would leave for another job.
- Well, that all sounds fine
in psychiatry class, Dr. Potter.
But I'm telling you that these guys
are very very intense, man.
Check this out.
Electricity, man.
The only thing that separates
me from them is electricity.
- Byron, hi.
- I need a match, doctor.
- You know you're not supposed
to have matches, Byron.
- Leo lets me have 'em.
- Then you should go and ask Leo.
- I will send my anger upon thee
and judge thee according to thy ways
and recompense upon thee
all thy abominations.
- Hey, preacher, my man...
- Don't you call me preacher.
- We can talk about this later.
Okay, Byron.
- The end is come.
It watcheth for thee.
- Fucking maniacs, man.
- My intestines come up out of my body.
They wrap around the bed
and grab me by the throat
and try to strangle me.
- Excuse me.
Leo, I need a match.
- A match?
Sure.
Keep the pack.
- Then I have to say the Lord's
prayer backwards three times
or else my body turns into porcelain.
- Well,
Mave, this is what you do.
The next time you feel
your intestine coming out,
just move your hands in
front of your face
three times, like that.
Yes, and then the
intestines will stay inside.
And you won't turn to porcelain.
I promise.
- Thank you, doctor.
- Oh.
- Oh, excuse me, ma'am.
Byron, Byron.
Byron.
Can somebody get him another shirt?
- I'll take care of it, Leo.
- Leo.
- Huh?
- Can I ask you what it was
that you just said to him?
- I told him if he didn't
stop all this nonsense
I would hoist him up
and cut him in half.
Sometimes you have to
be forceful with him.
- Hey, girl.
How are ya?
- Fabulous.
Look at me.
You got a great house.
And you got lots and lots of
land that's really really good.
You got any Rastafarians around?
- Who?
- You know, reggae, Rastafarians.
I'm into music now.
Really into music.
I started playing the drums.
I met a guy.
He's a guitar player...
- Wait, slow down, okay.
Let's take your stuff inside.
I'll show you to your room and
you can tell me everything.
Okay?
- Sorry, I'm just excited.
- No, don't be sorry.
I'm excited too.
Come on.
Excuse the mess.
- Looks great.
Where's Lyla?
- She's at school.
She'll be home around three.
- She know I'm here?
- Oh, yeah!
She's really excited.
Put your stuff in this
chest if you want to.
- Sure.
- So,
How are you, hon?
- I'm fine.
Really, I'm fine.
There's no problem.
- You look great.
- Thanks.
Hey, there's a dynamite band
that's playing at Springwood this weekend.
I was thinking of taking
you and Danny to see it.
What do you think?
- I don't know about Dan.
- If he doesn't wanna go,
we could drag him along.
We could go single.
- I'm really glad you're here, you know.
- Yeah, I know.
- Frank.
Frank, do you have a minute?
- I have years, doctor.
- You were pretty close to
Harry Merton, weren't you?
- Why?
- Harry says you were.
Have you been in contact with
him at all since he left?
- Why should I be?
- You're good friends.
You wanna stay in touch.
- Ah, if we were friends,
I suppose we might.
- You know where he is though?
- Some place in Philadelphia.
Look,
ah, I find this line of interrogation
fairly meaningless.
What is your point?
- There is no point.
Just wanted to touch base, that's all.
- Oh, hm, you know,
you shouldn't take
Ray Curtis too seriously, doctor.
He's not very reliable.
- Why do you say that?
- He's too high strung.
But that doesn't mean
that he's a bad person.
That's just his trip.
Like Bain says,
Fatty's trip is to rape little girls.
Preacher likes to set fire to churches.
That's his trip.
Unfortunately, he does it
when there are people inside.
I'm here
'cause I enjoy the social life.
There are no crazy people, doctor.
We are all just on vacation.
- I hear that the Havens really far out.
- No, no.
The Haven is not far out.
- No, tell her about the bleeder, hon.
- I haven't seen my
sister in over six months.
- Ah, come on.
What's a bleeder?
- We rushed through dinner
to go to this God knows...
- What's the bleeder?
- You remember in the newspaper
about three or four years ago
this guy went around
strangling everybody.
When he did, he got a nose bleed.
He's got him.
- Oooh, he's there?
- He's got this other guy,
a 400 pound child molester...
- Nell, will you stop it,
I don't wanna talk about work.
I'd like to talk to my sister.
- Honey, she's gonna be here for a week.
- I'm not ready for this.
I wouldn't drive this
far to see my analyst.
- Oh, come on, Danny.
This is a really great band.
They came all the way from
New York to Springwood.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
You're really gonna like them.
And they have a good reputation.
- Who are they?
- - They're called the Sick Fucks.
- Oh, my God.
- Danny, come on.
They're really good.
- Are they loud?
- Of course, they're loud.
You cant appreciate it unless it's loud.
- Hey.
- Hey, how you doin?
- Uh-uh.
- Hey, that's my brother.
- It's 18 bucks.
- You cannot be serious.
- They're crazy.
- Definitely not.
I have enough insanity in my life.
I don't wanna pay for it.
Bearable, bearable,
barely, barely.
- Where the hell did she go?
- Its penetrating!
- Are you still in bed?
Turn down that racket!
Clean up that pigsty!
What the fuck is going on here?
- Well, God has heard my prayers.
- What the fuck!
Come on.
Shit!
No goddamn juice in the goddamn club.
Oh, my God!
Its a blackout.
- What the hell is this?
- Danny, what if it's a blackout?
- Don't worry, sweetheart.
It's not necessarily a
blackout everywhere
just because the lights went out here.
- I made the lights go out.
Officials at the
Fairwell Nuclear Power Plant
continue to deny rumors
that the power failure
is due to a malfunction
in the nuclear reactor.
- Wow, they're lying.
This is another Three Mile Island.
We gotta get out of here.
The blackout is
either an act of sabotage
or an act of God.
- Lets get out of here.
- Oh, shit.
Shit!
Hey, fellas.
Hey.
Hey, we're friends, right?
I mean, look, listen.
I have stood behind you, man.
All the way down the line.
That's the truth.
I am your friend, all right?
Say away, stay away.
Get back.
Oh.
Wait, wait.
Hey, man.
Look, look,
Don't, man,
This is a joke, right?
- Blasphemer.
- That is right, that is right.
I am a sinner, man.
That's the truth.
His,
I'm a sinner, man.
I know, I, look,
that's the truth, all right.
Please, just forgive me.
- It will be better not to give him glory
when one of their great has fallen.
He's become a harbinger of evil.
Evil, evil.
- Jesus.
Let's go.
- Bunky, honey.
- Oh, hi.
Hi, Mrs. Potter.
- Hows Lyla?
- Mm, uh.
She's terrific.
- Phone seems to be working okay.
- We were watching TV in the kitchen.
A little while later, the TV
and everything just went dead.
- I don't seem to be able
to get through to The Haven.
- You know, I hope they don't
fix the blackout too soon.
It's sort of fun.
- Hold it.
Stay right where you are.
What's your business here?
- I'm the doctor here.
What's going on?
- Two men were killed.
- What?
- The auxiliary generator conked out
and The Bleeder and a
couple of the others
just waltzed right outta here.
- Jesus.
Who, uh, who did they kill?
- Well, the guard they had...
- Ray Curtis?
- Right, and the doctor.
- Not Bain?
No, no, Larkin
or something like that.
- Um, where are the men now?
- All we know is they stole a car
and they're wearing
their hospital outfits.
They shouldn't be too hard to catch.
- What the...
Oh, my God.
What's wrong?
- Do you see this ice cream?
- Ew, that's the worst.
- That's ridiculous.
Let's have a health fruit sundae.
Oh, my God.
Lyla!
God, you scared us to death.
Why aren't you in bed?
- You've been smoking pot again?
You know its no good for you.
- Oh, well.
Why don't you go back to bed
and well be more quiet.
We promise.
- Aunt Toni will tuck you in.
Goodnight.
- Are you afraid of the dark?
- Sometimes.
Aren't you?
- No.
- Not ever?
- No.
Maybe when I was a kid.
I don't remember.
- When I was a little kid,
I was scared to death
to be alone in the dark.
I always knew that there
was something I couldn't see
that wanted to get me.
In the closet,
or outside the window.
But the worst thing of all
was the thing under the bed.
- What kind of thing?
- I never knew.
But I was terrified if my foot hung over
the end of the bed, a hand
or a claw would come out
and grab me,
so I would wrap myself up in the blanket
and make sure nothing stuck out
and then, uh, I knew I was safe.
- Then you must have been
a pretty mixed up kid.
- Yeah, maybe.
He's, he's bleeding.
All right, big kiss.
Hi, everybody.
- Hi.
- Bye.
Have a good day.
See you later.
I love you.
- Bye.
That,
I want, that.
- What're you, some kind of asshole?
- Hey, Nell.
- So, how you doing?
- Incredible.
So, what do you think, huh?
- Ah, well, it's nice.
- Nice?
- Yeah.
- I mean, don't you think it's incredible?
- It's good.
- Don't you think it says something?
- Yeah.
It does, it's good.
Very good.
You really wanna go to this demonstration?
Yeah.
- There's gonna be state
troopers there, you know?
- You gotta stand up for what
you believe in, you know?
- Yeah, I know.
Okay, so, how about a poster for me?
- This one is for you.
Wait till you see mine.
- Okay.
- I have a telegram for Dr. Potter.
- Well, he's not in.
I'll take it.
- I may only give it to him.
- Well, I'm his wife.
I think you can give it to me.
- When will he return?
- I don't know.
Sometime this afternoon.
You wanna come back later?
- You can rest assured, I will.
- Can you believe that guy?
- Weird.
- Where do they get these guys from!
- Okay now.
Please bear with us, everybody.
And we'll be through as soon as we can.
Has anybody seen David,
Lisa or Sunshine?
- I love the sunshine.
- Shut up.
Maybe you can help us.
- He loves me.
- I know he loves you.
Everybody loves you, Judith.
- Okay, that's it.
Thank you, everybody.
You've been really helpful.
You can go.
- All right, children.
There's a barbecue on the lawn.
Is that the Sibelius
you're playing on that?
Bye-bye, children.
Bye-bye, Fred.
Bye, Perry.
Bye, Mavis.
Bye, bye-bye.
Goodbye.
- So were still missing six, Leo.
Not counting the men from the third floor.
- Those men were moving along so well.
Now, I suppose the authorities
will close the whole operation down.
They don't understand.
The men's violence is a cry of pain.
But nobody hears it.
- The three men they
murdered heard them, Leo.
- What exactly are you trying to say, Dan?
- Don't you think that you've lost sight,
they've killed three people, Leo.
- He has a point, Leo.
- All right, they're crazy.
Isn't everybody?
- Mom.
Mom.
Wheres my mother?
- She's not here.
She asked me to take care
of you till she gets back.
- Are you a babysitter?
- That's right.
- Where do you live?
- In Springwood.
Your mother said we
should go up to your room
until she gets home.
- I don't wanna go to my room.
- Come on, cutie.
- Don't call me cutie.
- We can have a lot of fun up there.
- How come my mother called
you instead of Bunky?
- Bunky wasn't home.
You got paper in your room?
Why?
- I'll tell you in a minute.
You got scissors?
I can show you how to
make any kind of thing
in the world out of paper.
Finish your milk and we'll go upstairs.
Okay?
I promise I won't try to
hold your hand again.
- Excuse me?
Excuse me, officer?
May I make a phone call, please.
It's my turn.
I've been waiting here for an hour now.
- I told you.
You'll have to wait your turn
like everybody else.
- No, you don't understand.
My little girl's coming home from school.
There's nobody there to meet her.
I'd like to call my husband.
He's a doctor.
- Look, lady, everybody's got problems.
You should've thought of that
before you broke the law.
- What do you mean?
Come on.
- When this plant blows up,
your ass is gonna go with it.
Your kids are gonna melt down.
Its really...
- Come on, missy.
- I can take care of myself.
- Okay.
I'm ahead of you for the phone.
You can have my place.
- You don't have to do that.
- She'll go in my place, all right?
- Thank you, thank you very much.
- Let's go, make it quick.
- What, you get hit by a cop?
- Mm-hm.
Forgot to duck.
- My brother's a doctor,
he should check it out.
- No.
That's okay.
- No, really.
He should check it out.
- Hello.
- Hi, Bunky.
Its Dr. Potter.
- Oh, hi.
Listen, I'd like you
to do me a really big favor.
I'm stuck at the Haven and
my wife just got arrested
at the nuclear demonstration.
She can't get home for a while.
We're a little worried about Lyla.
- Oh, well.
I'll go see how she's doing.
Great.
Thanks.
- Lyla.
Lyla.
Lyla's fine.
She's napping.
I didn't want to wake her.
Oh, that's great.
- So, uh, do you want me to stay
until you and Mrs. Potter get back?
If you wouldn't mind, uh,
it will be couple of hours.
- Oh, that's no problem.
Well, I'll, I'll see
you when you get back.
I'll see you and thanks really.
- That's okay.
Bye.
- I'll see you.
- Bunky?
Bunky?
- What took you so long?
We've only got an hour now.
Hold it.
- What's the matter now?
- Didn't you hear that?
- What?
- I heard a noise.
- Oh, come on.
- Uh, come on.
I said stop it.
I heard a noise.
- What kind of noise?
- I, I think it came from
that closet over there.
- Well, maybe its the cat.
- They don't have a cat.
- So what am I supposed to do?
- Well, look in the closet.
- And then you'll be happy?
- Yes.
- You want me to do anything else?
You wanna hear the
Gettysburg Address again?
- Please.
- Okay, okay.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
Okay?
- Billy?
Billy?
Oh, God.
- He was real nice.
He made these little these little bird...
- Dan, what happened?
- Hi, sweetheart.
There's nothing to worry about.
Just a scare.
Uh, Detective Burnett,
this is my wife, Nell.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What happened?
- One of the men from The
Haven who escaped is here.
- What?
- Don't worry.
Lyla's fine.
He didn't do anything.
- He didn't do anything?
He was here, wasn't he?
- Excuse me.
I'll talk to you later.
- Actually, Lyla said he was very nice.
He showed her how to make
some things out of paper.
Then he went away, and
she took her nap.
- Oh, well, that's just great.
- Well, actually I'm, uh,
I'm pretty relieved that
that's all that happened.
He didn't touch her,
he didn't do anything.
- Why was he here then?
- I suppose he wanted to talk to me.
He must trust me.
- What do you mean "talk?"
You're gonna have a tea party?
- Sweetheart, that's not doing any good.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Tom, this is my brother, Danny.
Danny, this is Tom.
- Hi.
Tom Smith.
- Hi, how do you do?
- Tom's the guy that gave
us a lift home from jail.
- Lyla.
- Howdy.
- As you see, he literally got
busted at the demonstration.
- Well, looks like y'all
have your hands pretty full.
Guess I better be going.
- Oh, hold on.
We told Tom he could stay for dinner.
He's a real nice guy.
- Yeah, he is nice.
He's the guy in jail
who gave me his turn, so I could call you.
I wouldn't mind having another
man around here tonight.
- Sure.
It's fine with me.
- Sir, we found two set of footprints
going out the back of the house.
Then we lost 'em in the woods.
- Did the girls car ever turn up?
- Nothing so far.
- Girl, what girl?
- Uh, nobody seems to know
where Bunky is.
- Oh, my God!
- Come on, Nell.
She's probably out somewhere
with her boyfriend.
Apparently, he did come by to pick her.
- Oh Jesus.
Her mom must be going out of her mind.
- Sorry to bother you, Mrs. Potter,
but your husband's probably right.
Under these circumstances, we have to be
a little more careful about things
that ordinarily wouldn't
amount to anything.
If you should hear anything
funny, just give us a call.
We'll get somebody out here right away.
Okay.
- Wait a minute, Jim.
We already have an extra plate for dinner
so why don't you join us?
You can handle it, cant you, Nell?
- Sure.
- Well-
- Come on, we make some
pretty good food around here.
- Why do you suppose Dan
isn't answering his telephone?
- Maybe they went out.
- Where did they go to?
You'd think in the circumstances,
the restaurants would all be closed, mm?
- You're probably right.
- You don't think he's
deliberately not answering
the phone because he thinks
I'm trying to reach him.
- I wouldn't rule it out, Leo.
He was being kind of
hostile this afternoon.
Maybe he's acting out.
- Do you really think so?
- Well, I wouldn't take it personally.
He was very tired.
- Yeah, I grew up in San Diego.
Grew up sailing boats.
Got interested in racing tactics.
And then went to USC
and majored in geology.
So that's when I first
started getting interested
in wind powers and
alternate energy source.
Turns out, an old buddy from
Springwood had the same ideas
so, uh, here I am.
- Making windmills?
- Yeah, that's right.
- It's better than tilting at them.
- So you can actually run
a house off a windmill?
- That depends on the needs of the house
and how much wind you get.
- How much power does the
average setup generate?
- Hmm?
- How much power does the
average setup generate?
- What was that?
- What?
- That sound.
Didn't you hear that?
- Yeah, I heard it.
- But what was it?
- All right, Nell, I know were a little
on the edge here tonight
but let's take it easy, okay?
And this is an old house.
There are all kinds of sounds.
They're in and out of this house.
And if were anxious, were
gonna start to imagine
that we hear things
that aren't even there.
- It's like my mother.
She hears sounds coming outta the TV.
- Everyone hears sounds from the TV.
- Not when it's turned off.
Is that normal or what?
- Normal?
I don't know what's normal anymore.
- Ah, now, what was that?
- Excuse me, folks.
- Dave, you think we should
call somebody for help?
- Take it easy, Mrs. Potter.
There's plenty of time for that.
- You sure you don't want
help looking around out there?
- No!
Just wait inside.
- Can you see anything out there?
- No, ma'am.
It looks pretty quiet.
I'm just gonna check around front again.
- No!
- What do you want me to do?
He's bleeding.
- Hold it!
Look,
I think we better protect
ourselves, don't you?
- What are we gonna do?
You check the windows in the library.
I'll get the windows down here.
Toni, go to the kitchen, make
sure the back door is locked
and then check the windows upstairs.
Nell, call the police.
- What do I do?
- You don't do anything.
You stick with your mother and
stay away from the windows.
Get the windows in the library.
No,
Drapes aren't down there.
- Danny, its locked.
- Great, now check upstairs.
There's no drapes in there.
- Yeah, I know.
Just lock the windows.
Look, everybody, stay out of the library.
- Its dead.
- Toni, are you okay?
- Danny, I cant.
- What?
What?
- I cant go up.
- Tom, would you...
- Yeah, yeah, sure.
- Honey, what's the matter?
- Nothing.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
Toni, its okay.
- I was really scared.
I think I'm gonna freak out.
- No, I shouldn't have
sent you upstairs anyway.
It's not the same as it was before.
You are right to be upset now.
I'd be worried about you if you weren't.
- Danny, I cant deal with this.
- You can.
You can and you will.
What is it?
What is it?
- Burnett, he, uh, he isn't there anymore.
- Oh, I'm sorry, uh,
everything's locked up tight.
- Tom.
Burnett, he's gone.
Danny, I need
a Valium really bad.
- Where are they?
- Upstairs.
- Damn it!
- I think I need one too.
- You don't need anything, Pudding.
- I'm really worried, dad.
This is a very serious situation.
- Look, were all worried, Lyla.
Sometimes you just have
to make the best of it.
- I'd rather take a Valium.
- Go block that window.
Block it.
Find something!
The plates rack in the dining room.
- Oh, my God!
- Where are you going?
- Your valium.
- That oughta keep 'em out for a while.
I'm sorry, sir.
I already told you.
The line is out of order.
- I know, but what exactly
did you mean by that?
What I mean is,
the line is out of order.
Don't you understand English?
- There's no reason to be hostile.
I wasn't being hostile, sir.
- Thank you.
Now, she has a serious problem.
- Don't you think we should
call the police, Leo?
- Never.
- All right, lets try to look
at this thing rationally.
They're obviously armed.
They're completely unpredictable
and we have to assume that
they aren't going away
until they accomplish
whatever they've set out to do
and under the circumstances,
I would say that's painfully obvious.
- Well, maybe somebody heard
us scream and called the cops.
- That's quite possible.
And if someone tried to call us, uh,
they would discover
that the lines were cut.
- Nah, cut line is an open circuit.
The phone will ring but
there wouldn't be any answer.
- Shit!
- Well they've gotta be
wondering where Burnett is?
They're bound to call here some time.
- The problem with that,
sweetheart, is that could be
10 minutes, or it could be four hours.
You'd...
We've gotta get outta
here and get help or...
How?
- The only thing I can think of is that
somehow I have to get
out there to the car.
- I'll go out to the car.
- No, I cant ask you to do that.
- I can handle it.
You should stay here with your family.
What's that?
- I think...
- It's a car.
- It is a car.
- Oh, my God, it's the cops.
Wait here.
- Oh, my God!
Its Leo Bain.
Leo, get back into the car.
Get the cops.
- We're under...
- Get the cops.
- Oh, ho, there you are.
I was worried about you.
- Leo, the men from the
third floor are here.
They have weapons.
- There's something wrong
with your telephone.
- Leo, the men from the
third floor are here.
The men from the third floor.
Leo!
- Get in the car!
- Are they inside?
- Out there.
Out there, Leo.
- Great.
I'll find them, and we'll talk.
Leo, they have weapons.
- Dan, you're going the
wrong way about this.
These people are still
disturbed from their escape.
- Leo, for Christ's sake,
- I want to get each and every one
of them back into his space
in time.
Hey!
Hey you, hey!
Hey, you guys out there, this is Leo Bain.
Why don't you come out?
We can explore a few things together.
- It's all over.
He's outta his mind.
- Come on.
This could be a very
important time for us.
Right now, lets use it.
Try to stay open to what I'm about.
- Oh, my God!
There's Byron.
Leo, there's Byron!
Leo, its Byron.
- Byron?
Byron!
Byron.
Byron, you're looking great.
How you feeling, Byron?
- Oh, my God!
Look at him!
- Ha, Byron.
Tell me, what are you
experiencing right now?
- Watch out, Leo!
- I'm so glad this crazy outside
world hasn't disturbed you.
- Oh, my God!
Leo, please.
Quick, get in.
Oh, my God!
- Byron,
Remember the Ten Commandments?
Byron.
God, said, "Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not kill.
- "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord."
- Tom, can you see what's
going on out there?
- I don't see anything.
- I don't know what to do.
- Honey, why is this happening?
What do they want?
- It's me.
I didn't even think of it.
- What's you?
- It's me.
They think that I killed Harry Merton.
- Who is Harry Merton?
- Harry Merton's the doctor
that was at the hospital
before I got there.
Ray Curtis was trying to
tell me about it yesterday.
Jesus!
Get into the other room.
My God.
Please get into the other room.
- What's he doing?
- I don't know.
- Frank, Frank Hawkes, can you hear me?
Please get into the other room.
I know you think I killed Harry Merton.
I understand your reasoning.
But its not true, and
I can prove it to you.
Dr. Merton is
at the Winfield Hospital
in Philadelphia.
If you call them up, they'll
tell you that he's there.
I know that you believe in what's right.
And you'll fight for it.
But your thoughts are wrong.
Will you call?
You don't have to answer if
you don't want to, Frank.
- You really think he's gonna call?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
Come here, Pudding.
It's pretty hard to convince him.
Paranoid schizophrenic, that
his delusions aren't real.
He could talk to Merton on the telephone
and still think that
it was all just an elaborate
plot to deceive him.
- What about the others?
- No.
It's Hawkes.
Hawkes is running this show.
Jesus Christ, its Burnett.
- Let's grab this.
- Yeah.
Fill that hole.
The window.
This is what were gonna do.
We've gotta block this window.
Come on.
- Let's board up every
window in this house.
Hurry up!
Hurry, Nell!
Hurry up!
- Here.
- Get her outta here.
Will you get her into the other room?
Go into the other room.
Get all the wood you can find.
Smash that table up, anything.
Hurry!
Raise that table up in there.
Get her outta here.
- Okay!
- Will you get out of here, Lyla?
Get her out of here.
Get away from the window.
- What happened?
- It came through the window.
- What came through the window?
- But all the windows are closed.
- It isn't real.
- Is everything all right?
What's happening to me?
I'm getting sick again.
- No.
No, you are not getting sick again.
This is just your way of dealing
with what's happening to us.
Now, try to hold on.
- I'm trying.
- Look, you've not been breathing.
Remember what I told you.
Breathe deeply.
Hopefully, well never
have to go through this
kind of stress again.
- Hopefully is right.
- No kidding around.
- Who's kidding?
- They're in the basement.
It sounds like they are in the basement.
- Here.
- No!
- They're upstairs.
- Get into the kitchen.
Daddy, there's a fire.
- Where?
- In the basement.
- Oh, Christ!
It must be Preacher.
Where is the fire extinguisher?
- You're not going down there.
- Where did you put the fire extinguisher?
There's a fire in the basement.
I'd like to put it out.
- All right, stop screaming at me.
- I'm sorry.
- Take care of them.
I'm going down.
Get rid of this chair.
Put it back when I go down.
Don't open the door
unless you know it's me.
- Sure.
It's me.
Open the door.
All right.
I'm going out to the car, and I'm going
to drive it to the front porch.
As soon as,
after I leave here,
wait for 30 seconds
and run to the front door
and be prepared to jump
in the car as soon as I pull it up.
- All right.
- And take the flashlight.
- No, don't need it.
Come on, come on, come on!
Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
Its The Bleeder.
- Mom!
- Do it.
- No!
- Do it.
Pudding.
- So,
It's not just us crazy ones who kill.
We all kill, doctor
when we must.
And we all die,
when it's time.
- Frank.
Frank, please,
Just don't kill my family, Frank.
- Stay.
- Just, just don't kill my family.
Who escaped from
the Haven Mental Hospital
during the first night of the blackout.
Police report the search continues.
For more on this, we have
a special live report
from Jim Gable at the
Winfield State Mental hospital
in Philadelphia.
- Thanks, Cindy.
- That's Harry Merton.
With Dr. Harry Merton,
former assistant director-
- That's Harry Merton.
Merton, Frank.
- You worked closely with
the four escaped psychopaths
during your time at The
Haven, is that correct?
- Well, first off, Jim,
we really don't like to
use the term psychopath.
It's a label that isn't very helpful
in terms of dealing with these people.
We prefer to call them voyagers.
- Frank.
It's Harry Merton.
He's alive.
You see it?
- Be quiet.
Considerable
difficulty integrating themselves
into so-called normal society,
but they worked through
that quite some time ago
in a rather dramatic way, I would think.
But these men
killed at least two people
during their escape.
- Yes, and they were probably
quite confused at the time.
But aside from that,
I'm absolutely certain that the progress-
- That's Harry Merton.
Back to you, Cindy.
Thanks, Jim.
This just in.
Donald Hoover, vice-president
of Columbia Power and Light
just concluded a press conference-
- I guess we made it.
- You.
It's a $6 cover.
Hey, asshole.
You gotta pay to get in.
- Hey, Face.
You were here Tuesday night.
You were standing by me
at the bar, remember?
Isn't this fuckin band really pink?
Pink.
I love 'em.
So fucking angry.
Hey, Face.
You wouldn't dare.
You know,
You really dare?
- Tom.
Hello, ma'am.
- Hello, preacher.
- How are you?
- I'm fine.
Want to see the menu?
- No, I think I'll just have the usual.
- All right.
- Kinda slow, isn't it?
- I hear they are calling for rain.
- I will cause distress onto men
for they have sinned
against the Lord.
And their blood shall run out as the dust.
And their flesh, as dung.
- You have come among us to
cleanse the world, my son.
- And by blood.
- Hello.
I'm Dan, uh, Dr. Daniel Potter.
I had an appointment
with Dr. -30.
But my car broke down, I
couldn't get to a phone.
Hope I can still see him.
- I'm afraid you can't see Dr. Bain.
- Oh.
Um, well,
do you have any idea, when
I might be able to see him?
- You cant see him at all.
- Why, isn't he here?
- No, he's here.
- Oh, then, um,
you have any idea when he'll be free?
- Leo's always free.
- Is he free now?
- He's always free.
- Then why cant I see him?
- Because he's invisible.
Melody was a receptionist
before she was admitted here.
Its good therapy for her.
- Thanks for coming to my rescue anyway.
- No problem.
I felt the same way when I first got here.
Everything seems turned upside down
but when you see the results...
- I know.
It's...
- Scumbag.
- Shh.
- His work is really incredible.
- It's like a miracle the
way he gets through to people
everyone else has written off.
His methods may seem a little
bizarre, but they work.
I've been here since Leo founded
the hospital six years ago.
Feels like forever.
Have you actually met him yourself?
- No, no, just on the phone.
But I think were gonna
understand each other.
- Well, be prepared for anything.
He's very unique.
Leo?
This is Dr. Potter.
- I know.
I know.
Great to see you, Dan.
- Oh, Leo.
Thanks.
- So now tell me.
What are you experiencing?
- Well, actually, I, haven't had much
of a chance to react yet.
I was a little amused by
your receptionist though.
- What happened?
- Nothing, it's just that when
I asked if I could see you
she said you were invisible.
- To Melody, I am invisible.
- Sounds like Bain is
completely off the wall.
- That's quite possible.
He does get results though.
Maybe that's your problem, hon.
- What's that?
- Maybe you gotta be a little
crazy to be a good shrink.
Yikes.
- Oh, Deb!
- Oh, God, Dan.
- It's all right, I'll
just make another one.
- You know, a little bit of Krazy Glue
and you'd never know this was broken.
- Better get epoxy.
What's the matter with Krazy Glue?
- You could get your
fingers stuck together.
Then you'd have to go to the hospital.
- Oh, come on, don't get serious.
- I am serious.
I read about it in the National Enquirer.
- When do you read the National Enquirer?
Wait a, wait a minute,
will you wait a minute?
Where does she read the National Enquirer?
- Don't ask me.
I cant keep up with her.
- What was this thing anyway?
- Matching flower vase.
What about these guys
on the third floor?
- Guys on the third floor,
oh, I don't know.
I haven't met them yet.
They sound like a pretty
rough bunch though.
- I don't see why you
cant have a nice office
and treat neurotics
like everybody else.
- Well, guess I just prefer psychopaths.
What else can I say?
- As far as I'm concerned,
those men on the third
floor are voyagers too.
The state wouldn't let me keep them here
unless I had maximum security.
I said no.
No way.
I'm running a haven
here, not a jail house.
So we have this special security system
on the third floor only.
No bars.
All run by electricity.
- Aren't these men still
potentially violent?
- What do you expect?
It's a violent society.
Anyway, they've passed that
point on their journey.
They're working through other things now.
Actually what I feel
about all this crap is
they are better off in there.
Too scary outside.
They wouldn't survive.
- Hey, Leo.
- What do you say, Ray?
This is Ray Curtis.
Dan Potter, Ray is the floor monitor.
- Hey, Ray.
How you doing?
- How you doing?
- Everything all right today?
- So far.
Hawkes set off the window
alarm again last night.
- Oh.
- But, uh, aside from that, uh,
everything is cool.
- Good.
- Uh, good luck.
- Thanks, Ray.
- Frank Hawkes.
Frank Hawkes was a
prisoner of war in Somalia.
So its important for him to feel that
he knows the way out wherever he is.
Hello, friends.
This is Dan Potter.
He's gonna be helping
you along for a while.
- Where's Harry Merton?
- Dr. Merton had to leave to
help people somewhere else.
- Dan, this is Ronald Elster.
Hi, Ronald.
Colonel Frank Hawkes.
Frank.
- This is Byron Sutcliff.
- Hi, Byron.
- Byron used to be a minister.
He's very deeply into
his own space just now.
Our friend over there is John Skaggs.
That's the bleeder?
Oh yes.
John doesn't particularly like
to show his face to strangers.
- Well, Dr. Bain has told me
how much you all admired Harry Merton.
Uh, unfortunately, he did have
to leave and I'm here now.
Well, I guess, I'll see you later.
- Dr. Potter!
Happy, trails.
- I hear you, Frank.
- Potter, killed,
Harry Merton.
Now,
Potter wants to kill us.
- He that smiteth a man that he die
shall surely be put to death.
- We'll kill Potter when he comes back.
- Not here.
Where?
- Outside.
- We cant get out.
- We'll get out,
when the time is right.
- Dan, I really wish you'd pick up Toni.
- You know, this is gonna
be a tough day for me.
She can get a taxi at the airport.
She'll be fine.
- I just don't know if I
can handle her by myself.
That's all.
- Oh, come on.
Sure you can.
- Are you finished with this?
- Yeah.
- You know, the last time you saw Toni,
she wasn't feeling very well.
- No foolin'.
- All right.
Look, I've talked to her on the phone
and I've spoken to her doctor.
She's fine.
She's probably better off now
than she was before the
whole thing happened.
- I hope so.
- Breakdowns can sometimes
be very cleansing.
Why don't you give her a chance?
She's a great girl, you know.
- Don't you think you better
get dressed for school?
- As soon as I finish.
- Ah, when might that be?
- As long as it takes.
I don't speed read, you know.
- Well, you better start.
- Free yourself up, Dan.
Come on.
Loosen yourself up.
You're not at Payne Whitney anymore.
We don't lock people up here
and fry their brains with electricity.
Sit down.
People here aren't called patients.
They are voyagers.
Uh, do you mind if I smoke?
- No, not if you need to.
- Need to?
I don't need to.
I want to.
Oregon sinsemilla.
Its a great herb.
Oh, boy.
You see, Dan, what the medical
gang calls schizophrenics
are people who've taken a journey
into the inmost reaches of the psyche.
Most psychiatrists haven't
the guts to follow them there.
But I believe in you, Dan.
I believe in you.
Always remember what
the Hindu mystic said.
"Mind, moving fast, is crazy.
Mind slow is saint.
Mind stopped,
is God."
- Ray, this is quite nice.
Quite nice.
- Thank you.
Have a seat.
- Sure.
- Would you, uh,
like some herbal tea?
- Oh, no, thanks.
No, thanks.
- That's cool.
Dr. Potter, Hawkes says that
you killed the last doctor.
So, they're going to kill you back.
- Okay.
- So, what are you gonna do?
- Nothing.
What you described to me
is actually pretty common
among people in treatment.
A man like Hawkes, I
mean he's got a problem.
Paranoia.
He can't accept the fact that Harry Merton
would leave for another job.
- Well, that all sounds fine
in psychiatry class, Dr. Potter.
But I'm telling you that these guys
are very very intense, man.
Check this out.
Electricity, man.
The only thing that separates
me from them is electricity.
- Byron, hi.
- I need a match, doctor.
- You know you're not supposed
to have matches, Byron.
- Leo lets me have 'em.
- Then you should go and ask Leo.
- I will send my anger upon thee
and judge thee according to thy ways
and recompense upon thee
all thy abominations.
- Hey, preacher, my man...
- Don't you call me preacher.
- We can talk about this later.
Okay, Byron.
- The end is come.
It watcheth for thee.
- Fucking maniacs, man.
- My intestines come up out of my body.
They wrap around the bed
and grab me by the throat
and try to strangle me.
- Excuse me.
Leo, I need a match.
- A match?
Sure.
Keep the pack.
- Then I have to say the Lord's
prayer backwards three times
or else my body turns into porcelain.
- Well,
Mave, this is what you do.
The next time you feel
your intestine coming out,
just move your hands in
front of your face
three times, like that.
Yes, and then the
intestines will stay inside.
And you won't turn to porcelain.
I promise.
- Thank you, doctor.
- Oh.
- Oh, excuse me, ma'am.
Byron, Byron.
Byron.
Can somebody get him another shirt?
- I'll take care of it, Leo.
- Leo.
- Huh?
- Can I ask you what it was
that you just said to him?
- I told him if he didn't
stop all this nonsense
I would hoist him up
and cut him in half.
Sometimes you have to
be forceful with him.
- Hey, girl.
How are ya?
- Fabulous.
Look at me.
You got a great house.
And you got lots and lots of
land that's really really good.
You got any Rastafarians around?
- Who?
- You know, reggae, Rastafarians.
I'm into music now.
Really into music.
I started playing the drums.
I met a guy.
He's a guitar player...
- Wait, slow down, okay.
Let's take your stuff inside.
I'll show you to your room and
you can tell me everything.
Okay?
- Sorry, I'm just excited.
- No, don't be sorry.
I'm excited too.
Come on.
Excuse the mess.
- Looks great.
Where's Lyla?
- She's at school.
She'll be home around three.
- She know I'm here?
- Oh, yeah!
She's really excited.
Put your stuff in this
chest if you want to.
- Sure.
- So,
How are you, hon?
- I'm fine.
Really, I'm fine.
There's no problem.
- You look great.
- Thanks.
Hey, there's a dynamite band
that's playing at Springwood this weekend.
I was thinking of taking
you and Danny to see it.
What do you think?
- I don't know about Dan.
- If he doesn't wanna go,
we could drag him along.
We could go single.
- I'm really glad you're here, you know.
- Yeah, I know.
- Frank.
Frank, do you have a minute?
- I have years, doctor.
- You were pretty close to
Harry Merton, weren't you?
- Why?
- Harry says you were.
Have you been in contact with
him at all since he left?
- Why should I be?
- You're good friends.
You wanna stay in touch.
- Ah, if we were friends,
I suppose we might.
- You know where he is though?
- Some place in Philadelphia.
Look,
ah, I find this line of interrogation
fairly meaningless.
What is your point?
- There is no point.
Just wanted to touch base, that's all.
- Oh, hm, you know,
you shouldn't take
Ray Curtis too seriously, doctor.
He's not very reliable.
- Why do you say that?
- He's too high strung.
But that doesn't mean
that he's a bad person.
That's just his trip.
Like Bain says,
Fatty's trip is to rape little girls.
Preacher likes to set fire to churches.
That's his trip.
Unfortunately, he does it
when there are people inside.
I'm here
'cause I enjoy the social life.
There are no crazy people, doctor.
We are all just on vacation.
- I hear that the Havens really far out.
- No, no.
The Haven is not far out.
- No, tell her about the bleeder, hon.
- I haven't seen my
sister in over six months.
- Ah, come on.
What's a bleeder?
- We rushed through dinner
to go to this God knows...
- What's the bleeder?
- You remember in the newspaper
about three or four years ago
this guy went around
strangling everybody.
When he did, he got a nose bleed.
He's got him.
- Oooh, he's there?
- He's got this other guy,
a 400 pound child molester...
- Nell, will you stop it,
I don't wanna talk about work.
I'd like to talk to my sister.
- Honey, she's gonna be here for a week.
- I'm not ready for this.
I wouldn't drive this
far to see my analyst.
- Oh, come on, Danny.
This is a really great band.
They came all the way from
New York to Springwood.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
You're really gonna like them.
And they have a good reputation.
- Who are they?
- - They're called the Sick Fucks.
- Oh, my God.
- Danny, come on.
They're really good.
- Are they loud?
- Of course, they're loud.
You cant appreciate it unless it's loud.
- Hey.
- Hey, how you doin?
- Uh-uh.
- Hey, that's my brother.
- It's 18 bucks.
- You cannot be serious.
- They're crazy.
- Definitely not.
I have enough insanity in my life.
I don't wanna pay for it.
Bearable, bearable,
barely, barely.
- Where the hell did she go?
- Its penetrating!
- Are you still in bed?
Turn down that racket!
Clean up that pigsty!
What the fuck is going on here?
- Well, God has heard my prayers.
- What the fuck!
Come on.
Shit!
No goddamn juice in the goddamn club.
Oh, my God!
Its a blackout.
- What the hell is this?
- Danny, what if it's a blackout?
- Don't worry, sweetheart.
It's not necessarily a
blackout everywhere
just because the lights went out here.
- I made the lights go out.
Officials at the
Fairwell Nuclear Power Plant
continue to deny rumors
that the power failure
is due to a malfunction
in the nuclear reactor.
- Wow, they're lying.
This is another Three Mile Island.
We gotta get out of here.
The blackout is
either an act of sabotage
or an act of God.
- Lets get out of here.
- Oh, shit.
Shit!
Hey, fellas.
Hey.
Hey, we're friends, right?
I mean, look, listen.
I have stood behind you, man.
All the way down the line.
That's the truth.
I am your friend, all right?
Say away, stay away.
Get back.
Oh.
Wait, wait.
Hey, man.
Look, look,
Don't, man,
This is a joke, right?
- Blasphemer.
- That is right, that is right.
I am a sinner, man.
That's the truth.
His,
I'm a sinner, man.
I know, I, look,
that's the truth, all right.
Please, just forgive me.
- It will be better not to give him glory
when one of their great has fallen.
He's become a harbinger of evil.
Evil, evil.
- Jesus.
Let's go.
- Bunky, honey.
- Oh, hi.
Hi, Mrs. Potter.
- Hows Lyla?
- Mm, uh.
She's terrific.
- Phone seems to be working okay.
- We were watching TV in the kitchen.
A little while later, the TV
and everything just went dead.
- I don't seem to be able
to get through to The Haven.
- You know, I hope they don't
fix the blackout too soon.
It's sort of fun.
- Hold it.
Stay right where you are.
What's your business here?
- I'm the doctor here.
What's going on?
- Two men were killed.
- What?
- The auxiliary generator conked out
and The Bleeder and a
couple of the others
just waltzed right outta here.
- Jesus.
Who, uh, who did they kill?
- Well, the guard they had...
- Ray Curtis?
- Right, and the doctor.
- Not Bain?
No, no, Larkin
or something like that.
- Um, where are the men now?
- All we know is they stole a car
and they're wearing
their hospital outfits.
They shouldn't be too hard to catch.
- What the...
Oh, my God.
What's wrong?
- Do you see this ice cream?
- Ew, that's the worst.
- That's ridiculous.
Let's have a health fruit sundae.
Oh, my God.
Lyla!
God, you scared us to death.
Why aren't you in bed?
- You've been smoking pot again?
You know its no good for you.
- Oh, well.
Why don't you go back to bed
and well be more quiet.
We promise.
- Aunt Toni will tuck you in.
Goodnight.
- Are you afraid of the dark?
- Sometimes.
Aren't you?
- No.
- Not ever?
- No.
Maybe when I was a kid.
I don't remember.
- When I was a little kid,
I was scared to death
to be alone in the dark.
I always knew that there
was something I couldn't see
that wanted to get me.
In the closet,
or outside the window.
But the worst thing of all
was the thing under the bed.
- What kind of thing?
- I never knew.
But I was terrified if my foot hung over
the end of the bed, a hand
or a claw would come out
and grab me,
so I would wrap myself up in the blanket
and make sure nothing stuck out
and then, uh, I knew I was safe.
- Then you must have been
a pretty mixed up kid.
- Yeah, maybe.
He's, he's bleeding.
All right, big kiss.
Hi, everybody.
- Hi.
- Bye.
Have a good day.
See you later.
I love you.
- Bye.
That,
I want, that.
- What're you, some kind of asshole?
- Hey, Nell.
- So, how you doing?
- Incredible.
So, what do you think, huh?
- Ah, well, it's nice.
- Nice?
- Yeah.
- I mean, don't you think it's incredible?
- It's good.
- Don't you think it says something?
- Yeah.
It does, it's good.
Very good.
You really wanna go to this demonstration?
Yeah.
- There's gonna be state
troopers there, you know?
- You gotta stand up for what
you believe in, you know?
- Yeah, I know.
Okay, so, how about a poster for me?
- This one is for you.
Wait till you see mine.
- Okay.
- I have a telegram for Dr. Potter.
- Well, he's not in.
I'll take it.
- I may only give it to him.
- Well, I'm his wife.
I think you can give it to me.
- When will he return?
- I don't know.
Sometime this afternoon.
You wanna come back later?
- You can rest assured, I will.
- Can you believe that guy?
- Weird.
- Where do they get these guys from!
- Okay now.
Please bear with us, everybody.
And we'll be through as soon as we can.
Has anybody seen David,
Lisa or Sunshine?
- I love the sunshine.
- Shut up.
Maybe you can help us.
- He loves me.
- I know he loves you.
Everybody loves you, Judith.
- Okay, that's it.
Thank you, everybody.
You've been really helpful.
You can go.
- All right, children.
There's a barbecue on the lawn.
Is that the Sibelius
you're playing on that?
Bye-bye, children.
Bye-bye, Fred.
Bye, Perry.
Bye, Mavis.
Bye, bye-bye.
Goodbye.
- So were still missing six, Leo.
Not counting the men from the third floor.
- Those men were moving along so well.
Now, I suppose the authorities
will close the whole operation down.
They don't understand.
The men's violence is a cry of pain.
But nobody hears it.
- The three men they
murdered heard them, Leo.
- What exactly are you trying to say, Dan?
- Don't you think that you've lost sight,
they've killed three people, Leo.
- He has a point, Leo.
- All right, they're crazy.
Isn't everybody?
- Mom.
Mom.
Wheres my mother?
- She's not here.
She asked me to take care
of you till she gets back.
- Are you a babysitter?
- That's right.
- Where do you live?
- In Springwood.
Your mother said we
should go up to your room
until she gets home.
- I don't wanna go to my room.
- Come on, cutie.
- Don't call me cutie.
- We can have a lot of fun up there.
- How come my mother called
you instead of Bunky?
- Bunky wasn't home.
You got paper in your room?
Why?
- I'll tell you in a minute.
You got scissors?
I can show you how to
make any kind of thing
in the world out of paper.
Finish your milk and we'll go upstairs.
Okay?
I promise I won't try to
hold your hand again.
- Excuse me?
Excuse me, officer?
May I make a phone call, please.
It's my turn.
I've been waiting here for an hour now.
- I told you.
You'll have to wait your turn
like everybody else.
- No, you don't understand.
My little girl's coming home from school.
There's nobody there to meet her.
I'd like to call my husband.
He's a doctor.
- Look, lady, everybody's got problems.
You should've thought of that
before you broke the law.
- What do you mean?
Come on.
- When this plant blows up,
your ass is gonna go with it.
Your kids are gonna melt down.
Its really...
- Come on, missy.
- I can take care of myself.
- Okay.
I'm ahead of you for the phone.
You can have my place.
- You don't have to do that.
- She'll go in my place, all right?
- Thank you, thank you very much.
- Let's go, make it quick.
- What, you get hit by a cop?
- Mm-hm.
Forgot to duck.
- My brother's a doctor,
he should check it out.
- No.
That's okay.
- No, really.
He should check it out.
- Hello.
- Hi, Bunky.
Its Dr. Potter.
- Oh, hi.
Listen, I'd like you
to do me a really big favor.
I'm stuck at the Haven and
my wife just got arrested
at the nuclear demonstration.
She can't get home for a while.
We're a little worried about Lyla.
- Oh, well.
I'll go see how she's doing.
Great.
Thanks.
- Lyla.
Lyla.
Lyla's fine.
She's napping.
I didn't want to wake her.
Oh, that's great.
- So, uh, do you want me to stay
until you and Mrs. Potter get back?
If you wouldn't mind, uh,
it will be couple of hours.
- Oh, that's no problem.
Well, I'll, I'll see
you when you get back.
I'll see you and thanks really.
- That's okay.
Bye.
- I'll see you.
- Bunky?
Bunky?
- What took you so long?
We've only got an hour now.
Hold it.
- What's the matter now?
- Didn't you hear that?
- What?
- I heard a noise.
- Oh, come on.
- Uh, come on.
I said stop it.
I heard a noise.
- What kind of noise?
- I, I think it came from
that closet over there.
- Well, maybe its the cat.
- They don't have a cat.
- So what am I supposed to do?
- Well, look in the closet.
- And then you'll be happy?
- Yes.
- You want me to do anything else?
You wanna hear the
Gettysburg Address again?
- Please.
- Okay, okay.
I mean, this is ridiculous.
Okay?
- Billy?
Billy?
Oh, God.
- He was real nice.
He made these little these little bird...
- Dan, what happened?
- Hi, sweetheart.
There's nothing to worry about.
Just a scare.
Uh, Detective Burnett,
this is my wife, Nell.
- Hi.
- Hi.
What happened?
- One of the men from The
Haven who escaped is here.
- What?
- Don't worry.
Lyla's fine.
He didn't do anything.
- He didn't do anything?
He was here, wasn't he?
- Excuse me.
I'll talk to you later.
- Actually, Lyla said he was very nice.
He showed her how to make
some things out of paper.
Then he went away, and
she took her nap.
- Oh, well, that's just great.
- Well, actually I'm, uh,
I'm pretty relieved that
that's all that happened.
He didn't touch her,
he didn't do anything.
- Why was he here then?
- I suppose he wanted to talk to me.
He must trust me.
- What do you mean "talk?"
You're gonna have a tea party?
- Sweetheart, that's not doing any good.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Tom, this is my brother, Danny.
Danny, this is Tom.
- Hi.
Tom Smith.
- Hi, how do you do?
- Tom's the guy that gave
us a lift home from jail.
- Lyla.
- Howdy.
- As you see, he literally got
busted at the demonstration.
- Well, looks like y'all
have your hands pretty full.
Guess I better be going.
- Oh, hold on.
We told Tom he could stay for dinner.
He's a real nice guy.
- Yeah, he is nice.
He's the guy in jail
who gave me his turn, so I could call you.
I wouldn't mind having another
man around here tonight.
- Sure.
It's fine with me.
- Sir, we found two set of footprints
going out the back of the house.
Then we lost 'em in the woods.
- Did the girls car ever turn up?
- Nothing so far.
- Girl, what girl?
- Uh, nobody seems to know
where Bunky is.
- Oh, my God!
- Come on, Nell.
She's probably out somewhere
with her boyfriend.
Apparently, he did come by to pick her.
- Oh Jesus.
Her mom must be going out of her mind.
- Sorry to bother you, Mrs. Potter,
but your husband's probably right.
Under these circumstances, we have to be
a little more careful about things
that ordinarily wouldn't
amount to anything.
If you should hear anything
funny, just give us a call.
We'll get somebody out here right away.
Okay.
- Wait a minute, Jim.
We already have an extra plate for dinner
so why don't you join us?
You can handle it, cant you, Nell?
- Sure.
- Well-
- Come on, we make some
pretty good food around here.
- Why do you suppose Dan
isn't answering his telephone?
- Maybe they went out.
- Where did they go to?
You'd think in the circumstances,
the restaurants would all be closed, mm?
- You're probably right.
- You don't think he's
deliberately not answering
the phone because he thinks
I'm trying to reach him.
- I wouldn't rule it out, Leo.
He was being kind of
hostile this afternoon.
Maybe he's acting out.
- Do you really think so?
- Well, I wouldn't take it personally.
He was very tired.
- Yeah, I grew up in San Diego.
Grew up sailing boats.
Got interested in racing tactics.
And then went to USC
and majored in geology.
So that's when I first
started getting interested
in wind powers and
alternate energy source.
Turns out, an old buddy from
Springwood had the same ideas
so, uh, here I am.
- Making windmills?
- Yeah, that's right.
- It's better than tilting at them.
- So you can actually run
a house off a windmill?
- That depends on the needs of the house
and how much wind you get.
- How much power does the
average setup generate?
- Hmm?
- How much power does the
average setup generate?
- What was that?
- What?
- That sound.
Didn't you hear that?
- Yeah, I heard it.
- But what was it?
- All right, Nell, I know were a little
on the edge here tonight
but let's take it easy, okay?
And this is an old house.
There are all kinds of sounds.
They're in and out of this house.
And if were anxious, were
gonna start to imagine
that we hear things
that aren't even there.
- It's like my mother.
She hears sounds coming outta the TV.
- Everyone hears sounds from the TV.
- Not when it's turned off.
Is that normal or what?
- Normal?
I don't know what's normal anymore.
- Ah, now, what was that?
- Excuse me, folks.
- Dave, you think we should
call somebody for help?
- Take it easy, Mrs. Potter.
There's plenty of time for that.
- You sure you don't want
help looking around out there?
- No!
Just wait inside.
- Can you see anything out there?
- No, ma'am.
It looks pretty quiet.
I'm just gonna check around front again.
- No!
- What do you want me to do?
He's bleeding.
- Hold it!
Look,
I think we better protect
ourselves, don't you?
- What are we gonna do?
You check the windows in the library.
I'll get the windows down here.
Toni, go to the kitchen, make
sure the back door is locked
and then check the windows upstairs.
Nell, call the police.
- What do I do?
- You don't do anything.
You stick with your mother and
stay away from the windows.
Get the windows in the library.
No,
Drapes aren't down there.
- Danny, its locked.
- Great, now check upstairs.
There's no drapes in there.
- Yeah, I know.
Just lock the windows.
Look, everybody, stay out of the library.
- Its dead.
- Toni, are you okay?
- Danny, I cant.
- What?
What?
- I cant go up.
- Tom, would you...
- Yeah, yeah, sure.
- Honey, what's the matter?
- Nothing.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
Toni, its okay.
- I was really scared.
I think I'm gonna freak out.
- No, I shouldn't have
sent you upstairs anyway.
It's not the same as it was before.
You are right to be upset now.
I'd be worried about you if you weren't.
- Danny, I cant deal with this.
- You can.
You can and you will.
What is it?
What is it?
- Burnett, he, uh, he isn't there anymore.
- Oh, I'm sorry, uh,
everything's locked up tight.
- Tom.
Burnett, he's gone.
Danny, I need
a Valium really bad.
- Where are they?
- Upstairs.
- Damn it!
- I think I need one too.
- You don't need anything, Pudding.
- I'm really worried, dad.
This is a very serious situation.
- Look, were all worried, Lyla.
Sometimes you just have
to make the best of it.
- I'd rather take a Valium.
- Go block that window.
Block it.
Find something!
The plates rack in the dining room.
- Oh, my God!
- Where are you going?
- Your valium.
- That oughta keep 'em out for a while.
I'm sorry, sir.
I already told you.
The line is out of order.
- I know, but what exactly
did you mean by that?
What I mean is,
the line is out of order.
Don't you understand English?
- There's no reason to be hostile.
I wasn't being hostile, sir.
- Thank you.
Now, she has a serious problem.
- Don't you think we should
call the police, Leo?
- Never.
- All right, lets try to look
at this thing rationally.
They're obviously armed.
They're completely unpredictable
and we have to assume that
they aren't going away
until they accomplish
whatever they've set out to do
and under the circumstances,
I would say that's painfully obvious.
- Well, maybe somebody heard
us scream and called the cops.
- That's quite possible.
And if someone tried to call us, uh,
they would discover
that the lines were cut.
- Nah, cut line is an open circuit.
The phone will ring but
there wouldn't be any answer.
- Shit!
- Well they've gotta be
wondering where Burnett is?
They're bound to call here some time.
- The problem with that,
sweetheart, is that could be
10 minutes, or it could be four hours.
You'd...
We've gotta get outta
here and get help or...
How?
- The only thing I can think of is that
somehow I have to get
out there to the car.
- I'll go out to the car.
- No, I cant ask you to do that.
- I can handle it.
You should stay here with your family.
What's that?
- I think...
- It's a car.
- It is a car.
- Oh, my God, it's the cops.
Wait here.
- Oh, my God!
Its Leo Bain.
Leo, get back into the car.
Get the cops.
- We're under...
- Get the cops.
- Oh, ho, there you are.
I was worried about you.
- Leo, the men from the
third floor are here.
They have weapons.
- There's something wrong
with your telephone.
- Leo, the men from the
third floor are here.
The men from the third floor.
Leo!
- Get in the car!
- Are they inside?
- Out there.
Out there, Leo.
- Great.
I'll find them, and we'll talk.
Leo, they have weapons.
- Dan, you're going the
wrong way about this.
These people are still
disturbed from their escape.
- Leo, for Christ's sake,
- I want to get each and every one
of them back into his space
in time.
Hey!
Hey you, hey!
Hey, you guys out there, this is Leo Bain.
Why don't you come out?
We can explore a few things together.
- It's all over.
He's outta his mind.
- Come on.
This could be a very
important time for us.
Right now, lets use it.
Try to stay open to what I'm about.
- Oh, my God!
There's Byron.
Leo, there's Byron!
Leo, its Byron.
- Byron?
Byron!
Byron.
Byron, you're looking great.
How you feeling, Byron?
- Oh, my God!
Look at him!
- Ha, Byron.
Tell me, what are you
experiencing right now?
- Watch out, Leo!
- I'm so glad this crazy outside
world hasn't disturbed you.
- Oh, my God!
Leo, please.
Quick, get in.
Oh, my God!
- Byron,
Remember the Ten Commandments?
Byron.
God, said, "Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt not kill.
- "Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord."
- Tom, can you see what's
going on out there?
- I don't see anything.
- I don't know what to do.
- Honey, why is this happening?
What do they want?
- It's me.
I didn't even think of it.
- What's you?
- It's me.
They think that I killed Harry Merton.
- Who is Harry Merton?
- Harry Merton's the doctor
that was at the hospital
before I got there.
Ray Curtis was trying to
tell me about it yesterday.
Jesus!
Get into the other room.
My God.
Please get into the other room.
- What's he doing?
- I don't know.
- Frank, Frank Hawkes, can you hear me?
Please get into the other room.
I know you think I killed Harry Merton.
I understand your reasoning.
But its not true, and
I can prove it to you.
Dr. Merton is
at the Winfield Hospital
in Philadelphia.
If you call them up, they'll
tell you that he's there.
I know that you believe in what's right.
And you'll fight for it.
But your thoughts are wrong.
Will you call?
You don't have to answer if
you don't want to, Frank.
- You really think he's gonna call?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
Come here, Pudding.
It's pretty hard to convince him.
Paranoid schizophrenic, that
his delusions aren't real.
He could talk to Merton on the telephone
and still think that
it was all just an elaborate
plot to deceive him.
- What about the others?
- No.
It's Hawkes.
Hawkes is running this show.
Jesus Christ, its Burnett.
- Let's grab this.
- Yeah.
Fill that hole.
The window.
This is what were gonna do.
We've gotta block this window.
Come on.
- Let's board up every
window in this house.
Hurry up!
Hurry, Nell!
Hurry up!
- Here.
- Get her outta here.
Will you get her into the other room?
Go into the other room.
Get all the wood you can find.
Smash that table up, anything.
Hurry!
Raise that table up in there.
Get her outta here.
- Okay!
- Will you get out of here, Lyla?
Get her out of here.
Get away from the window.
- What happened?
- It came through the window.
- What came through the window?
- But all the windows are closed.
- It isn't real.
- Is everything all right?
What's happening to me?
I'm getting sick again.
- No.
No, you are not getting sick again.
This is just your way of dealing
with what's happening to us.
Now, try to hold on.
- I'm trying.
- Look, you've not been breathing.
Remember what I told you.
Breathe deeply.
Hopefully, well never
have to go through this
kind of stress again.
- Hopefully is right.
- No kidding around.
- Who's kidding?
- They're in the basement.
It sounds like they are in the basement.
- Here.
- No!
- They're upstairs.
- Get into the kitchen.
Daddy, there's a fire.
- Where?
- In the basement.
- Oh, Christ!
It must be Preacher.
Where is the fire extinguisher?
- You're not going down there.
- Where did you put the fire extinguisher?
There's a fire in the basement.
I'd like to put it out.
- All right, stop screaming at me.
- I'm sorry.
- Take care of them.
I'm going down.
Get rid of this chair.
Put it back when I go down.
Don't open the door
unless you know it's me.
- Sure.
It's me.
Open the door.
All right.
I'm going out to the car, and I'm going
to drive it to the front porch.
As soon as,
after I leave here,
wait for 30 seconds
and run to the front door
and be prepared to jump
in the car as soon as I pull it up.
- All right.
- And take the flashlight.
- No, don't need it.
Come on, come on, come on!
Oh, my God.
- Oh, my God.
