A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child Page #3

I know I didn't stand a chance

in hell, but...

She cared a lot about you.

Maybe it was her mother

who killed her...

with all that

Polly-Perfect sh*t.

It wasn't her mother.

We have these scumbags

here on "The Hot Seat" tonight.

The Phantom Prowler

wouldn't have been afraid...

to tell her how he felt.

If I only had a tenth

of his guts.

Jesus, he's not even real...

and he's more of a human being

than I am.

This guy isn't one of your

comic book characters, Mark.

He's not the Phantom Prowler.

He's for real.

Tell me more

about this Krueger guy.

You look tired.

Why don't I make some coffee?

There's a lot to tell.

Help!

Mark, take my hand!

Take it!

We got to get out of here.

Mark, come on.

Oh, sh*t.

You don't look very well.

Are you feeling all right?

Been having bad dreams.

Is this where you live, Jacob?

Just waiting for someone.

It's sad about Greta.

Is that who you're waiting for?

I don't think this is

a very nice place for you to be.

Maybe we should go look

for your mom.

She doesn't want me around.

Oh, I'm sure that's not true.

I'll bet she's very worried

about you.

I would be.

No, you're not! You don't even

care about being a mom.

How come you

don't think about me?

- Who said I... What?

- I like you.

I want to stay with you.

How come you don't like me?

Who said I don't like you?

My friend with the funny hand.

Come on, honey.

We're gonna get out of here.

No, I have to go now.

He's calling me.

Jacob, wait!

Holy sh*t.

He's really real, isn't he?

Are you OK?

He's doing something to my baby.

I know it.

He's trying to hurt Jacob.

Who's Jacob?

My baby.

What, you named him already?

I guess so.

I got to get away from here.

Someplace where Krueger

can't find him.

Slow down.

Now, how you gonna hide

from a guy like that, huh?

Leave the planet?

I don't know.

Look...

if you're worried

about your baby...

call Yvonne and have the doctor

check him out.

I'm gonna go see what else

I can find out about Krueger.

You had me scared on the phone.

What's wrong with the baby?

I think Krueger's

trying to do something to him.

Alice! Honey, no.

I love you, but you're gonna

have to get ahold of yourself.

Mark knows I'm not crazy.

Ask him to show you his hands.

I think you just need

to calm down, OK?

I can't figure out how

he's getting in when I'm awake.

Do unborn babies dream?

They do.

But do us both a favor.

Don't mention any of this

to Dr. Moore.

I can't believe you had me

drag Dr. Moore down here...

on a Sunday morning for this.

I'm sorry, Yvonne.

I thought

it was something serious.

If this isn't serious,

I don't know what is.

Don't dare say a word.

You're gonna get me fired.

Dr. Moore,

do unborn babies dream?

As the fetus develops...

it can spend up to

seventy percent of its day...

in a dream state.

More as it matures.

Will I be able to sense them?

Is that why you're here?

To see if your baby's

having nightmares?

We're here to find out

everything we can, aren't we?

Frankly, I have found

nothing about you...

that would indicate

the necessity of ultrasound...

at this stage

of your pregnancy.

I just want to make sure

my baby's all right.

Well, the heart seems strong.

Let's hear it.

There's your baby.

Get her file.

See any family resemblance?

Feeding time.

Soul food for my boy.

Don't touch him!

What's he doing to my baby?

Please, young lady,

try to keep calm.

Your baby is perfectly healthy.

A little large

for so early on...

but as normal

as I've ever seen.

He's taking their souls,

their spirits...

and making the baby like him.

Look, sweetie, you're tired.

You'll feel much better

after I take you home...

and get some rest, OK?

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

Greta and Dan were there.

Krueger killed them.

Now he was...

feeding them to Jacob.

Alice,

stop and listen to yourself.

Do you know what you sound like?

Completely insane, but I'm not.

And if you're my friend,

you would believe me a little.

I am your friend,

and I'm worried sick about you.

It's time to leave the Twilight

Zone and face reality.

- Krueger is reality.

- So is your baby.

You got more to think about

than yourself.

What do you think I'm doing?

Look...

whether you believe it or not,

Krueger is back.

He's after my baby...

and if I don't try to do

something about it, who will?

All I know is you're not doing

you or your baby any good...

by acting like a crazy woman.

Why don't you take off?

Leave Springwood.

Cool off for a while.

God damn it, you don't run away

from this guy!

He finds you in your dreams!

He found a lot of other people

before he found us.

- You, too?

- He invited me to his house.

Look, we're all tired...

and we haven't had any sleep

since Friday night.

That's the only reason

you're alive.

No, it's not!

Look through this stuff,

will you?

She's not crazy!

You OK?

I know what's happening.

Krueger's using Jacob's dreams.

We gotta stop him.

Well, there is...

one way.

Have you thought about

not having the baby?

I mean, no baby...

no baby's dreams.

No, I can't do that.

I saw him inside of me, growing.

He's part of me and Dan.

I want to keep him.

OK, then we'll find another way.

I've seen her.

Alice, can you come down

a minute?

Mr. Jordan and I wanted to see

how you're feeling.

Well, come sit down.

This really isn't a good time.

Maybe you could come back.

Frankly, we wondered what

you intend to do with your baby.

What I what?

Well, I've thought about it,

and I plan to keep him.

We were concerned

that all this...

might be a little bit too much

for you.

I mean,

being single and everything.

What Mr. Jordan means is that

we're aware of the burden...

that raising a child

would place on you.

We want to help.

We want to adopt it and raise it

as though it were our own.

Look, I appreciate

what you're offering...

but, no.

He's my responsibility.

And ours.

It's our grandchild.

Now, Doris, maybe

this wasn't such a good idea.

Alice, we're worried that

in your present condition...

that you don't have

the ability...

to take care of a child.

What are you talking about,

"my condition"?

We got a call from Dr. Moore.

He said that

Alice was hysterical...

and that she was having

paranoid delusions.

You don't understand.

We know you've been through

a lot...

but there is more at stake here

than just your feelings.

You're not taking my baby.

Well, the courts

might not agree with you.

But I do.

I've heard enough of this crap.

You think you can just

walk into my house...

and threaten my daughter?

Please, we have

a legitimate claim to it.

He's not a thing.

He's part of me...

and I'm not giving him to you

or anyone else!

They think I'm nuts.

That's their problem.

No, it's our problem.

If I don't deal with this...

they really might try

to take Jacob.

You said she committed suicide.

Yeah, that's what

the papers thought.

She spent the rest of her life

in the asylum.

After Krueger's trial,
