Oh, man!

Oh, man! [PANTING]

[CHUCKLING] Oh, that was...

That was intense! That was insane.

[BREATHING HEAVILY] [GULPING] [GASPING] Far out! Oh, man! I kicked butt

with time to spare. [LAUGHING] [LAUGHING, TALKING] All right. Try that.

[TURNS ON LOUD HEAVY METAL] How 'bout that?

Huh? How 'bout that? [HEAVY METAL MUSIC PLAYING] MICHAEL:

It was so real! KYLE:

But, man, what happened?

What's the plot? Just forget the plot, man.

I don't remember any story.

There was all this blood. And, you know, like,

my hands were shaking, too. It was sick! See, I told you

it would blow your mind. Yeah, man, Kyle,

you were right. -The feeling...

I loved it, man!

-So, you got it on you? -Patience, Kyle.

-No, man, if it's

as good as you say... I just want to play it

a couple of more times, then I promise,

you'll get it. [SIREN WAILING] -Hey!

-What the hell

were their problems? Jerks! Buddies forever? Forever. Igor. Yes, Master? Dial l-800-555-FEAR. [DIALING, RINGING] [ZAPPING] What the hell?

Shoot! [DOORBELL RINGING] Hey, Mr. Keller. Can I come in

and speak with Kimberly

for a moment, please? All right, thanks.

Come in. MR. KELLER:

Kim, somebody to see you. Hi. -He came to see Kim.

-MRS. KELLER:

Oh, really? -[TURNS ON TV]

-REPORTER:
...nearly

four times the amount of aid

the President wants

Congress to approve. And in local news, there was a grisly murder

in the quiet suburban town

of Mountview today. Late this afternoon, the body

of 42-year-old William

Tebbs was discovered in the bedroom

of his home, -located in an exclusive

west side area of Mountview.

-Poor man. -Tebbs was brutally stabbed.

-So it happened

near here. Local police conducted

a thorough search of the area. An intensive house-to-house

investigation is

now under way. Jeez. -Police are asking cooperation

of local residents.

-Oh, my God! Did you say something? Listen, uh... Can you tell Kim

that I'll stop by later? I have to go.

[GASPING] Sorry. REPORTER:

...and that's when police

discovered the mutilated body. Police conducted a thorough

search of the area in hopes

of finding the murder weapon. But so far,

it has not been found. Can't be.

Can't be. REPORTER: For reasons unknown,

Tebbs's foot was severed

from his body. It, too, has yet to be found. Police say they have no leads

on any suspects in connection

with Tebbs's gruesome murder. Mountview has never

been touched by

such a tragedy as this. Now come the questions

of who and why. [SIREN WAILING] [CROWD CHATTERING] POLICEMAN:

Hey, kid. You following me? I... Listen, I can explain. Explain what? You don't have to

explain anything. Or do you? You're inside a police line. Now this is the second

time I'm telling you,

go home. Go. [WHIRRING ELECTRONIC SOUNDS] VOICE FROM BRAINSCAN:

Be sure you put it

in a safe place. [WHIRRING ELECTRONIC SOUNDS

CONTINUE] [GASPS] OPERATOR:

I'm sorry, sir,

there's no such number listed. -[SHOUTING]

That's impossible!

-I'm sorry, sir. [PHONE RINGING] You have a call, Master. [ZAPPING] VOICE FROM BRAINSCAN:

Hello, Michael. You sucker! Who are you?

What did you do? If I were you, I would

address that question

to myself. Okay, who killed that man,

and what's happened? You were there, Michael.

You know exactly what you did. [GLASS CRACKING] Please allow me

to introduce myself.

My name is Trickster. Where were we?

Ah, yes. You may not

remember the details, my boy, but I am positive you remember

you controlled the disk. -You controlled

what happened.

-What? So you take responsibility. How did you get

in here? You invited me in. That's how

it always works. Michael, don't you

have anything good? Never leave home

without it. From the top

of the charts... To a space

in your heart. [SCREAMS] [ROCK MUSIC PLAYING] MICHAEL:

Stop that! Stop it! [MUSIC CONTINUES] [STOPS MUSIC]

Knock it off! So you did it. Who killed that man?

What was on that disk? The murder.

What else? You know for a minute there,

I didn't think

you'd go through with it. When he got up

and started dancing

around the room... Classic. How do you know? I was there

when you cut off his foot.

It was art. It was magic. It wasn't

supposed to be real! Real. Unreal.

What's the difference? So long

as you don't get caught. There's a difference, okay?

There's a big difference!

This doesn't make any sense! It doesn't have to make sense.

All these horror movies

you watch... Does "Death, Death, Death"

make sense? No. It's not about sense.

It's about death, death,

death. I didn't kill the man.

I didn't even know him! There lies the beauty. You had no motive.

It was totally random. Like in the animal world,

prey never has a name. It was primal. [GROWLS] I can't wait to see

what you do next. Next? Wait a minute!

There is no next. Yes, there is. No, there's not! Yes, there is! You must

eliminate the witness. There was a witness? Two, if you count me. But I'll never

turn you in. They could

pump a million volts

through me. [ELECTRICITY CRACKLING] They could bust my fingers,

one by one, by one, by one. They could dig out my eyes... [SQUELCHING] But... No country-western music,

please. Every man

has his limits. I thought it was just a game.

You know, a stupid video game. Trust me.

Play the second disk. -How could there

be a witness?

-Oh, come on, sport. You're more than just the

voyeur you wish to be,

you're in this now. You won't survive on your own.

I'm willing to help you. But you have to play

all the disks. Hey, I've done

pretty good so far. Have you?

[ZAPPING] I'm in deep stuff. [WHINES] Oh, God. [GROWLS] Here, boy,

come on. -[GROWLS]

-Here, boy,

come on. Come on. [PERSON WHISTLES] Hey, wait a minute! [PANTING] Shoot!

[PANTING] Hey. Hey.

I know you're a nice dog. Please, please

give me the foot. Okay?

I promise, I'll never ask you

for anything else again. Okay? Just give me the foot. [WHINES] [SIGHS IN RELIEF]

Thanks! [BARKING] [INSECT BUZZING] [GROANS] What do you got there? What are you looking at? Come on, Zak. Get outta here. KYLE: Hey, dude.

[DOORBELL RINGING] [POUNDING ON DOOR] [POUNDING CONTINUES] Hey!

Yo, Michael. Hey, dirtbag,

I've been callin' all day.

Did you skip school? Uh, no, I...

I got mono. That's harsh.

Anything I can do? Nah, that's all right. Can I come in? Kyle, I don't think

it's such a good idea

right now. Okay, okay. Listen, I have to get goin'.

I have to go to bed

and all, you know... -Hey, did ya hear

about the murder?

-Yeah, I did. Yeah, that's pretty cool

havin' a murder in our own

neighborhood and everything. Kyle, a guy just died,

and you think that's cool? No, I don't mean cool,

but it's interesting. Forget it!

I'll see you. Hey, listen Michael, if you're

gonna be laid up, how 'bout

letting me borrow Brainscan? Kyle, idiot, will you

get off my back about that? No, no. If you don't wanna

let me see it, if you just want

to be a jerk about it, -just say so,

that's all!

-Bye, Kyle. [RINGING DOORBELL] You, too. [HEAVY METAL MUSIC PLAYING] Shouldn't have to be
