Can't you feel the stillness in the air?

The Tall Man's real.

And...

And...

And uh...

I think he wants nothing better than

to populate our worid with the undead.

No way.

In your dreams, Reggie.

If you only knew.

Nightmares aren't real, you know,

and neither is your Tall Man.

Give me one of your shirts, will you?

Mine's too rank to sleep in.

Yeah, sure.

I think I've got a spare here somewhere.

You know, you really shouldn't dismiss

The Tall Man as just some ghost story.

If you've seen some of the stuff I've seen,

you wouldn't be able to deny the evidence

that's right in front of your... face.

Thanks.

Believe what you want.

But I'm telling you I've seen him.

I've lost friends to him.

Lady, I may not be the sharpest knife

in the drawer but I can tell you this,

that old bastard's going down.

I don't give a damn what f***ing planet

or dimension he's from.

His balls are mine.

Reggie.

You sound so demented.

Yeah. I guess I do.

So, anyway...

I like you, Reg.

And that was a great story.

But I make it a policy

never to get personal with someone

who has more problems than I do.

Yeah but I don't...

Sweet dreams.

Mike!

Far out.

You want to get it on, Reggie?

Oh, no. No!

Argh!

Oh. Oh.

Thought you had me, son of a b*tch?

Ow!

Aah!

Argh!

Wait! We're not done yet!

Sorry, baby, but yes, we are.

Dear Reggie,

today I was able to conjure

one of his dimensional forks

and discovered something astonishing.

In another time, I believe I met him

before he turned evil.

If only I could return there

and somehow change things.

We know that he can't be killed

but could he be stopped from ever existing?

You go

where I want you to go, boy.

Oh!

Hey!

You found me. He's right behind me.

He's coming.

- There's a way out.

- What is this place?

You mean when.

We can't stay here.

There's a risk of infection.

Oh, yeah.

Mike?

He'll be coming for you soon.

It's Reggie.

Always sneaking round.

Yeah, I'm getting really good

at killing you little motherfuckers.

Mike.

Mike.

Hey, Mike, I found you guys.

- Hey, Jody.

- Reg.

Don't trust him, Reggie.

Stay here. There's something I need to do.

I need to go back to the beginning.

Back where it all started.

Let's go.

This is the night, Mike.

The night when it all started.

As undertaker, he bore witness

to the stark passage from life to death.

But the more he put in the grave,

the more questions he had.

He came to the conclusion

that the answers were before him.

Hidden in subjects

as simple as shifting phases,

vibration, warmth and cold.

It became his life's work, his passion...

to learn the craft, find the rift...

and make his way through that passage.

This is the hour.

The time has come.

You can't affect him.

We're not in the same dimension.

When's he coming back?

Jebediah Morningside

never does come back.

And so it begins.

Mike?

Over here.

I knew you'd find me here.

What's happening, brother?

Aow!

Just had to be sure...

before I killed my own brother.

Or what's left of him.

I won't be like you.

Hah!

Now, this won't hurt a bit.

Well, maybe just a little bit.

Argh! Argh! Argh!

Argh!

I died...

I died in the car, Mike.

- Reg.

- Mike.

Jody's dead.

You don't have another tuning fork, do you?

He's coming for me.

He's going to rip open my skull

and there's nothing I can do about it.

It'll be OK, pal.

Here, just stand behind me.

The Cuda's stashed a mile away.

Once we get to that b*tch,

nothing can stop us.

Anything that tries is going to get

a hot introduction to my four friends here.

Thanks for standing with me, Reg.

Don't mention it.

Oh, sh*t.

What do you want?

Ice cream man, it's all in his head.

Ah!

It's time now, boy.

Yes...

it is.

A toy.

Mike!

No.

Ah! Ah!

Mike? Mike?

You're still alive.

I'm dying, Reg.

No, don't let go.

I'll be coming right back for you.

Mike! Mike!

You're still alive...

- Hey, howdy, partner.

- Hi.

I'm dying, Reg.

Hey, did you hear something?

It's just the wind.

It's just the wind.

# Have you seen it?

# Have you seen it?

# Have you seen it?

# Have you seen it?

# How can we survive?

# Run for cover

# Find some shelter

# Try to stay alive

# Out here searching

# Such a long time

# A stranger with no name

# Living lonely

# If I could only

# Find some way to end his wicked game

# His wicked game

# Lord

# I'm so tired of running

# Won't you help me find some rest?

# When in his twilight worid,

I've met the challenge

# And proved for ever

# Which of us is best

# Have you seen it?

# Have you seen it?

# Oh, yeah

# Have you seen it?

# Have you seen it?

# Oh

# Have you seen it?

# Have you seen it?

# Oh #
