Alone in the Dark (1982)

[bunniefuu]

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.

Alright.

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.

H!

Hello.

I'm Dan... er, Dr. Daniel Potter.

I had an appointment with
Dr. -30 am.

But my car broke down,
I couldn't get to a phone.

"'Hope I can still see him"

I'm afraid you can't.

Well..

Do you have any idea... when
I might be able to see him?

- You can't see him at all.
- 'Why? Isn't he here?'

- No, he's here.
- Then..

You have any idea
when he'll be free?

- Leo's always free.
- Is he free now?

- He's always free.
- 'Then why can't I see him?'

Because he's invisible.

'Melody was a receptionist
before she was admitted here.'

It's 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.

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 we're 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.
- 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.
- What's that?

Maybe you gotta be a little
crazy to be a good shrink.

- Yikes.
- Deb!

God, Dan.

It's alright, 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.

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 can't 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..

I-I don't know.
I haven't met them yet.

They sound like
a pretty rough bunch though.

I don't see why
you can't have an 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-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 alright today?

So far.

Hawkes set off the window alarm
again last night.

But, aside from that..

- ...everything is cool.
- Good.

- Good luck.
- Thanks, Ray.

Frank Hawkes.

Frank Hawkes was
a prisoner of w*r in Somalia.

So it's 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?'

'John doesn't particularly like
to show his face to strangers.'

'Well..'

Dr. Bain has told me how much
you all admired Harry Merton.

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... k*lled..

...Harry Murton.

Now..

...Potter... wants to k*ll... us.

He that smiteth a man
that he die

shall surely be put to death.

We'll k*ll Potter
when he comes back.

- Not here.
- 'Where?'

- Outside.
- We-we can't 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.

I don't know if
I can handle her myself.

Come on. Sure you can.

- Are you finished with this?
- Yeah.

The last time you saw Toni
she wasn't feeling very well.

No foolin'.

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.
- 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.

Do you mind if I smoke?

- No, not if you need to.
- Need to?

I don't need to.

I... want to.

Oregon sinsemilla.

It's a great herb.

Boy.

You see, Dan, what the medical
g*ng 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.
Quiet nice.

Thank you.

- Have a seat.
- Sure.

Would you, er,
like some herbal tea?

No, thanks. No, thanks.

That's cool.

Dr. Potter, Hawkes says
that you k*lled the last doctor.

So, they're going
to k*ll you back.

Okay.

So, what are you gonna do?

Nothing.

What you described to me

is 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're not supposed
to have matches, Byron.

Leo let's 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.

f*cking 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.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Byron, Byron.

Byron. Byron. Byron. Byron.

Come here.

Can somebody get him
another shirt?

- I'll take care of it, Leo.
- Please.

Leo.

What was it you just say 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.

- Hi.
- 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? 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.

Sorry, I'm just excited.

No, don't be sorry.
I'm excited too. C'mon.

Excuse the mess.

Looks great.

- Where's Lyla?
- She's at school.

- She'll be home around three.
- She know I'm here?

Yeah! She's really excited.

Put your stuff
in this chest if you want.

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.

If we were friends,
I suppose we might.

You know where he is though?

Some place in Philadelphia.

Look..

I find this line
of interrogation

fairly... meaningless.

What is your point?

There is no point.

Just wanted to
touch base, that's all.

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
r*pe 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 Haven's
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.

C'mon. What's a bleeder?

We rushed through dinner
to go to this God knows...

What's the bleeder?

Remember, about three
or four years ago

this guy went around
strangling everybody.

When he did, he got
a nose bleed. He's got him.

He's got this other guy,
a 400 pound child molester...

'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.

C'mon, Danny.
This is a really great band.

They came all the way
from New York to Springwood.

You're gonna like them.
They have a good reputation.

- Who are they?
- They're the Sic f*ck.

- My God.
- Danny, c'mon. They are good.

- Are they loud?
- Of course, they are loud.

You can't appreciate it
unless it's loud.

- Hey.
- Hey, how you doin'?

- A.
- 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?

It's penetrating!

'What the f*ck is going
on here?'

Well, God has heard my prayers.

What the f*ck! Come on. sh*t!

'My God! It's 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.'

They are 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"

'Let's get out of here.'

sh*t. sh*t!

Hey, fellas. Hey.

Hey-hey,
we-we-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, alright?'

Say away, stay away. Get back.

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.

I-I-I that's the truth.

His..

I'm a sinner, man.
I-I know. I, look..

'That's the truth, alright.
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.

Hi.

- Hi, Mrs. Potter.
- 'How's Lyla?'

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 am not 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 k*lled.
- What?

The auxillary generator
conked auxiliary out

and The Bleeder
and a couple others

just waltzed right outta here.

Jesus. Who, who did they k*ll?

- Well, the guard they had...
- Ray Curtis?

- Right and the doctor.
- Not Bain?

No, no, Larkin
or something like that.

...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..

My God.

What's wrong?

- Do you see this ice cream?
- That's the worst.

That's ridiculous.

Let's have a
health fruit sundae.

My God.

'Lyla!'

God, you scared us to death.
Why aren't you in bed?

You've been smoking pot again?

You know it's no good for you.

Well. Why don't you go
back to bed

and we'll be more quiet.
We promise.

Aunt Toni will tuck you in.

- Goodnight.
- 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, I knew I was safe.

Then you must have been
a pretty mixed up kid.

Yeah, maybe.

He's-he's bleeding.

- Hi, everybody.
- 'Hi.'

- 'Hello.'
- Have a good day.

- See you later. I love you.
- 'Bye.'

That..

I want... that.

What're you?
Some kind of as*h*le?

- Hi.
- 'Hey, Nell.'

- So, how you doing?
- Incredible.

So... what do you think?

...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-it does.
It's good. Very good.

You really wanna go
to this demonstration?

Yeah.

There's gonna be
state troopers there.

You gotta stand up
for what you believe in.

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.

I'm his wife.
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. Okay, that's it.
Thank you, everybody.

'You've been really helpful.
You can go.'

Alright, children.
There's a barbeque 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 we're 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 m*rder*d
heard them, Leo.

What exactly are you
trying to say, Dan?

Don't you think that
you've lost sight..

They've k*lled
three people, Leo.

He has a point, Leo.

Alright, they're crazy.

Isn't everybody?

Mom.

'Mom.'

Where's 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.

Uff.

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-I'll tell you in a minute.

You got scissors?

I-I-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.

I've been waiting here
for an hour now.

- You'll have to wait your turn.
- No. You don't understand.

My girl's coming home
from school.

There's nobody to meet her.
I'd like to call my husband.

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 a*s is gonna go with it.

Kids are gonna melt down.
It's really...

- Come on, missy.
- I can take care of myself.

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.

- Thank you very much.
- Let's go. Make it quick.

- What? You get hit by a cop?
- 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. It's Dr. Potter.'
- Hi.

'I'd like you to do me
a big favor.'

'I'm stuck at the Haven
and my wife's arrested'

'at the nuclear demonstration.'

'She can't get home for a while.
We're worried about Lyla.'

Well.
I'll go see how she's doing.

'Great. Thanks.'

Lyla.

Lyla.

'Lyla's fine. She is napping.'

- I didn't want to wake her.
- 'That's great.'

So, do you want me to stay

until you and Mrs. Potter
get back?

'If you wouldn't mind,
it will be couple of hours.'

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.
- Come on.

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 it's 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?

God.

Open.

He was nice.
He made these little..

Dan, what happened?

Hi, sweetheart. There's nothing
to worry about.

Just a scare.
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.

Well, that's just great.

Well, actually I'm..

I'm pretty relieved that
that's all that happened.

He didn't touch her
or do anything.

Why was he here then?

I suppose he wanted to talk.
He must trust me.

What do you mean "talk?"
You're having 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.

Looks like y'all
have your hands full.

- Guess I better be going.
- Hold on.

We told Tom he could stay
for dinner.

He's a real nice guy.

He is nice. He gave me his turn,
so I could call you.

I wouldn't mind having
another man here tonight.

- Sure. It's fine with me.
- Sure.

We found two set of footprints
going out the back.

Then we lost 'em in the woods.

Did the girl's car ever turn up?

- Nothing so far.
- Girl, what girl?

Nobody seems to know
where Bunky is.

- My God!
- Come on, Nell.

She's probably out
with her boyfriend.

He did come by to pick her.

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-wait a minute, Jim.

We already have
an extra plate for dinner

so why don't you join us?
You can handle it, can't you?

- Sure.
- Well..

C'mon, we make some good food.

Why do you suppose
Dan isn't answering?

- Maybe they went out.
- Where did they go to?

You'd think in the circumstances

the restaurants would
all be closed?

You're probably right.

You don't think he's
deliberately not answering

because he thinks
I'm trying to reach him.

I wouldn't rule it out. He was
being 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, 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?

'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?

I know, I know we're 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 we're anxious,
we're gonna start to imagine

that we hear things
that aren't even there.

It's like m-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.

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.

Nick, 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.

Stick with your mother and stay
away from the windows.

Get the windows in the library.

'No. Drapes aren't down there.'

Danny, it's locked.

Great. Now check upstairs.

- There's no drapes in there.
- Just lock the windows.

Look, everybody, stay
out of the library.

It's dead.

- Toni, are you okay?
- Danny, I can't.

- What? What?
- I can't go up.

- Tom, would you..
- Yeah, yeah, sure.

- Honey, what's the matter?
- N-nothing.

- I'm sorry.
- It's okay. Toni, it's 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 can't deal with this.

You can. You can and you will.

'What is it?'

What is it?

Burnett, he... he
isn't there anymore.

I'm sorry.
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, we're 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.

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.

'Alright, let's 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 obvious.

Well, maybe somebody heard
us scream and called the cops.

That's quite possible.

And if someone tried to call us,

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.

sh*t!

Wonder where Burnett is?
They're bound to call here.

The problem with that,
sweetheart, is that could be

ten minutes, or it could be
four hours. You'd..

We-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 can't 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 isa car.
- My God, it's the cops.

Wait here.

My God! It's Leo Bain.

Leo, get back into the car.
Get the cops. We're under..

Get the cops.

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 everyone
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, let's use it.'

'Try to stay open
to what I'm about.'

My God! There's Byron.

Leo, there's Byron!

'Leo, it's Byron.'

Byron?

Byron!

Byron.

Byron, you're looking great.

How you feeling, Byron?

My God! Look at him!

'Byron...

Tell me, what are you
experiencing right now?

Watch out, Leo!

I'm so glad this crazy outside
world hasn't disturbed you.

My God!

Leo, please. Quick, get in.

My God!

Byron..

Remember the Ten Commandments?

Byron..

God, said...
"Thou shalt not k*ll."

"Thou shalt not k*ll."

"Vengeance is mine,
sayeth the Lord."

Tom..

'Can you see
what's going on out there?'

I don't see anything.

I-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 k*lled Harry Merton.

Who is Harry Merton?

Harry Merton's the doctor at
the hospital before I got there.

Ray Curtis was trying to tell
me about it yesterday.

Jesus! Get into the other room.

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 k*lled Harry Merton.

I understand your reasoning.

But it's 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 just... an elaborate plot
to deceive him.

What about the others?

No. It's Hawkes.

Hawkes is running this show.

Jesus Christ, it's Burnett.

- Let's grab this.
- Yeah.

'Fill that hole.'

The window.

'This is what we're 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.

'Hurry!'

'Raise that table up in there.'

- 'Get her outta here.'
- 'Okay!'

'Will you get out
of here, Lyla?'

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 alright?

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. Breathe deeply.

Hopefully, we'll never have
to go through this 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.'

Christ! It must be Preacher.

Where is the fire extinguisher?

You're not going down there.

Where did you put
the fire extinguisher?

I'd like to put out the fire
in the basement.

- Alright, 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.

Alright.

I'm going to the car, and I'm
going to drive it to the 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.

Alright.

- And take the flashlight.
- No, don't need it.

Come on, come on, come on!

My God.

My God. It's the bleeder.

Mom!

- Do it.
- No!

Do it.

Pudding.

'So..'

It's not just us
crazy ones who k*ll.

We all k*ll... doctor

when we must.

And we all die..

...when it's time.

Frank.

Frank, please..

Just don't k*ll
my family, Frank.

Stay.

Just-just don't k*ll 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?'

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 is 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 k*lled
at least two people'

'during their escape.'

Yes, and they were probably
quite confused at the time.

'Aside from that, I'm absolutely
certain that the progress..'

That's... Harry Merton.

'Thank you, Dr. 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 six-dollar cover.

Hey, as*h*le.

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 f*ck' band...
really pink?

Pink.

I love 'em.

So f*cking angry.

Hey, Face.

You wouldn't dare.

You know..

You really dare?
