two gates your soul can enter.

One is a positive gate...

the other a negative gate.

The key element is that

there's a dream master...

someone who guards

the positive gate...

and, in fact,

protects the sleeping host.

Taken altogether, they offer

a fascinating perspective...

on ancient history.

Those of you who don't

find it fascinating...

you better listen up,

because it's on the final.

Rick, make me laugh.

Going down.

What?

A true warrior needs no eyes.

Come on out and fight me,

you chickenshit!

Ninja warriors have calm.

Find your balance, Rick!

Too wimpy to show yourself,

Krueger?

Well, how's this for balance?

Banzai.

How you gonna fight me

without your weapon, Freddy?

Sayonara, Rick-san!

Though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death...

I shall fear no evil...

for Thou art with me

with Thy rod and Thy staff.

Dearly bereaved, we gather here

in remorse for Rick Johnson...

a young man whose death

confounds and mystifies us...

for Rick was in his prime,

beloved by all...

exemplary

of young men's ideals...

and of strong moral fiber.

We grieve our loss but take

comfort in knowing such a man...

rests in the kingdom of God.

Let our faith supersede

our knowledge...

for truly the Lord

works in mysterious ways.

Hello, baby!

I love this.

They think I'm dead, don't they?

This is great.

Hey. What's with the tears?

I wouldn't leave ya.

Come on, don't cry.

I'm here. It was a big joke

to fool Freddy.

Come on, smile for me.

No more daydreams.

Well, gotta go.

Good night.

You OK?

Not really.

Is there anything we can do?

I don't think so.

I guess this is my own war.

No, it's not.

We all have to survive.

I mean, I don't spend hours

working out...

to let some night stalker

beat me.

You don't really get it.

He's not a night stalker.

And it'll take more

than bench presses to beat him.

So what do we do?

Let's go over

to Debbie's tonight.

We have to make a plan.

I got to go.

How about I pick you up

at the diner at 8:00?

Here. It's a good luck charm.

Brings bad luck to the creep

you flatten with it.

This is it.

Mind over matter.

Mind over matter?

Sheila used to say that.

God, every day, she changes.

No. It's after every death.

What's happening to me?

Alice, where are you going?

Just to see Debbie.

No, you're not.

I want you to stay in.

Dad, I gotta go, and there's

nothing you can do about it.

You have no right to stop me.

If you just knew

what was going on.

I know very much what's going on

with you and your friends.

Everybody thinks they know,

but they don't.

Look at me, Alice.

I lost Rick

because I didn't watch him.

I don't want to lose you.

We're all we have.

All the towns in America...

and I gotta move

to the Bermuda Triangle.

That's great.

What'll it be?

Come on, honey.

I don't want to be here forever.

If the food don't kill ya,

the service will.

Help us, Alice!

The usual.

No, Alice, don't let him do it!

My favorite.

No! Come on, no!

Eeney, meeney, miney...

Come on, no!

Moe!

No, Alice, don't let him do it!

Rick, you little meatball.

I love soul food.

No! No! Stop!

Bring me more.

Your shift is over.

Come on. We have to hurry!

- What's going on?

- I'm driving.

He's going after Debbie.

I've got to stop him.

We got to stop him.

I'm with you on this thing.

I want to help you.

I'm on your side, OK?

Here we are.

Come on. We have to hurry!

- What's going on?

- I'm driving.

I don't believe in you.

I believe in you.

No pain... no gain.

He's going after Debbie.

I've got to stop him.

Help me!

Here we are.

Come on. We have to hurry!

- What's going on?

- I'm driving.

He's going after Debbie.

I've got to stop him.

I get the weirdest feeling

we've done this before.

Come on. We have to hurry.

I'm driving.

Oh, my God.

We're both asleep.

He's got us going in circles.

We got to go!

You can check in,

but you can't check out.

What the hell was that?

She's gone.

I've collected her

like the others.

All right,

I'm gonna punch his ticket in.

I'm sorry.

All right, get him in there.

Base, this is med seven.

We have a male Caucasian,

Multiple lacerations

about the head and neck area.

Possible internal injuries.

- What's that do?

- Relaxes your boyfriend.

- Put the needle down.

- Rules is rules.

He stays awake!

Those are my rules, understand?

Are you nuts?

He's allergic, OK?

You should have said something

in the first place.

Damn kids.

Don't let them put you to sleep.

We have to get ready for him.

- When does he have surgery?

- Fifteen minutes.

Let him be, Alice!

They're gonna kill him!

What are you talking about?

Let me go!

Alice! Damn it! Get back here!

Come on!

No. No gas.

No gas. No. Don't put...

F***in' "A."

Well, it ain't Dr. Seuss.

Get away from him,

you son of a b*tch!

- I saw him. He was here.

- I know.

We have to get out

of this place.

Out for a spin, lovebirds?

Dan, hold on!

Alice, it's too late.

He's hemorrhaging.

Bring him out of it! Hurry!

You got to put me

back under now!

Relax, son. It was rough,

but we pulled you out.

You're gonna be OK.

One, two,

Freddy's coming for you

Three, four,

better lock your door

Five, six, grab your crucifix

Seven, eight,

better stay up late

Nine, ten, never sleep again

Welcome to Wonderland, Alice.

You've got their power.

I've got their souls.

Come on.

Banzai.

You think

you've got what it takes?

I've been guarding my gate

for a long time, b*tch.

I am eternal.

Now I lay me down to sleep.

The master of dreams,

my soul I'll keep.

In the reflection

of my mind's eye...

Evil will see itself,

and it shall die!

Let them out!

You're dead, Krueger.

Thank you, Alice.

You saved us.

Freedom.

Rest in hell.

You know, I slept through

all of last night...

and I haven't done that in days.

I'm still having trouble.

I can sleep two,

maybe three hours, if I'm lucky.

I don't mind, though.

I have more reasons

to stay awake now.

Come on.

Make a wish.

Come on,

you don't believe in that stuff.

Yeah, I do,

and I think you do, too.

Here it goes.

What'd you wish for?

If I tell you,

it won't come true.
