Come Back to Me Page #4

"I saw her body. It was everywhere.

"It made me sick.

"There's no way she could've been alive.

It's like she was somehow brought back to life."

And the only other person in the house...

was the woman's 14-year-old son.

Dale.

And then I found this.

She's a patient at the Nevada

State Mental Institution.

Jesus, Sarah, what are you doing?

I'm gonna find out who the f*** my neighbor is.

Be careful, OK?

Please.

You have a baby to think about, remember?

It's not Josh's.

Remember... a while back, I was

experiencing something similar.

Waking at odd hours... panicking

with this strange feeling.

That is why I adopted Buster.

Dale used to deliver my groceries until...

Why did you stop?

I don't like dogs.

- I heard you the first ten times.

- I'm sorry, I'm just a little...

look, I-I need to see Eileen Wallace.

Excuse me?

Eileen Wallace. It's urgent.

Do you have an appointment?

- No, I was just hoping...

- Not without an appointment.

Look, f*** the appointment, OK? I need to see

her, and I'm not gonna leave here until I do.

Yeah, I'm sorry to bother you, Dr.

Simmons, but, um, I have a, um...

Sarah, Sarah McClaren.

Sarah McClaren. She's here to see Ms. Wallace.

About what?

Her son.

This is highly irregular, Mrs. McClaren, but...

it was her decision.

I told her what you look like,

and she agreed to talk to you.

So, I see you do one thing to upset her,

I'll have you outta there so

fast, it'll make your head spin.

Ready?

Mrs. McClaren, this is Eileen.

Ten minutes.

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Wallace.

I wouldn't think so.

Not under such...

circumstances.

Dr. Simmons told me what you look like.

Pretty.

Blonde.

Dale... has a type, you see.

I guess it reminds him of me.

He recently moved across from us, and...

I have proof he's been coming into our house.

Murdering you?

It's what he does...

Ever since he was 14 years old.

Since he first discovered his gift.

The night my husband killed me...

You hear that bang, mama?

I think they got him.

It's gonna be alright now.

Mama?

Kid?

Dale, come on, man. Where you at?

Dale? What the f***?

Kid, get down!

Get away from the boy!

Get the f*** away from the boy!

It's OK, this is my mom.

I couldn't remember a thing.

Jesus Christ.

Later... at the hospital, once I was

told I was perfectly healthy...

Dale told me he just breathed into my mouth...

like he saw on TV.

After that...

he became obsessed...

with his ability.

He's not right.

He's not right in the head.

He's got the Holy Spirit in him.

But look what he does with it...

Mama... please.

I find... knives and clothes in

his room, with blood on them.

- Would you keep your voice down?

- You see? You see? You're afraid of him, too.

Stop talking this way, mama.

Dale is not evil.

He's just a boy.

And God help us all when he becomes a man.

Come back to me.

Nothing, no one was safe.

No!

Dale!

Stop that!

You stop that right now!

You have got to stop doing this!

Why? I always bring them back.

Back off, mama!

You want me to start killing you?

Bring her back.

Please?

It's time for you to bring her back.

Make me cookies first.

Now!

Bring her back now, Dale.

For mama.

You promised.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I couldn't live knowing that Dale came from me...

that I was somehow responsible...

for creating a monster.

But whatever I did to get away...

he always brought me back.

Come back to me.

No.

No!

No!

Why do you wanna leave me, mama?

I need you, I love you.

You can kill yourself again and again,

but I will always bring you back!

You can't leave me.

I knew what I had to do.

Please, you can't ever leave me.

After all, desperate times

call for drastic measures.

Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. Wallace.

Mrs. Wallace, Mrs. Wallace, you need a...

- Put that down, Mrs. Wallace!

- Put it down, Mrs. Wallace!

- No! Don't do this!

- Get back!

- Mrs. Wallace!

- Don't do that, Mrs. Wallace!

If I didn't die that day...

I was hoping for the next best thing...

to end up here...

where he could no longer get to me.

But it seems there was only one way to

stop him, so why didn't you just...

Kill him?

You must not have kids, or you

would know the answer to that.

Dale... never really grew up.

Once he discovered what he could do...

he never... developed... socially.

Why would he?

He used his gift to get the girls.

Killing...

and bringing you back...

that's how he connects.

That's how he loves.

If this has been going on for a while...

you must be very special to him.

But how...

how does he do what he does?

That is one of life's cruel ironies.

I mean...

why would God give a Christ-like

gift to the very devil himself?

I know where you can get a gun.

You find him in your home again...

you do what you have to do to stop him.

Please.

Promise me you'll stop him.

- Sh*t.

- Alright, you've reached Josh McClaren.

Uh, leave a message and I'll get back to you.

Josh, Josh, it's me. Listen, I need to see you, OK?

I know what's been going on.

I have proof, and I just visited...

just listen, don't leave

Johnny's, and call me back, OK?

don't go home! Please, whatever

you do, don't go home!

F***!

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah?

Sarah?

Josh?

Josh?

No, no, no!

Josh, no!

No, no, stay with me! Oh, stay with me!

Hi, Sarah.

Welcome home.

Y-y-y-you wanna shoot me, too?

That's not fair.

It's not like you can bring me back.

Dale, can you please...

Please bring him back?

But I didn't kill him, Sarah.

- You did.

- Bring him back!

No, I won't! Do you hear me?!

Never, ever! He doesn't deserve you!

It's better-it's better this way.

I heard you two fighting the other night.

I was here.

He's mean.

He left you. He doesn't wanna

take care of you any more.

I don't wanna kill you again, Sarah.

I'm just so tired from all of the...

the cleaning.

But don't get me wrong.

I still want us to be together.

I want us to be together...

as a family.

Do you wanna be normal, Dale?

You promise?

Are you hungry?

Homemade.

Just the way you like them.

Oh, this is nice.

To us?

Yeah, to us.

I don't have to use this, do I?

Not if you don't want to.

- Try not to eat too many.

- Why?

I don't want you ruining your appetite.

Let's go upstairs.

Wha-what are we doing?

What do you think?

But...

But what?

You want to, don't you?

You want it to be normal, right?

Yeah, of course, but...

normally, you can't remember anything afterwards.

I want to remember, Dale.

I want to remember everything

that happens between us.

That's what being a real couple is all about.

Trust me.

- What if you think that I'm really...

- Oh, shh.

You're gonna be perfect.

Do you like the way I look, Dale?

Do you like my eyes?

My lips?

My hair?

My breasts?

Yeah, they're the best.

Kiss me, Dale.

Kiss me, Dale.

Kiss me, now!

You're tricking me.

Get up.

Ahh!

Come back to me!

Liar, liar, liar!

You're just like mama!

You wanna leave me, too.

Well, you're not going to.

'Cause I'm gonna leave you first!
