Sometimes They Come Back Page #4

---

students did disappear last night.

Chip?

- I told you.

- Yeah. Amazing.

We'll let you know when

we find something.

Or you let us know when

you remember something.

Say, Jimmy, you remember

North here, don't you?

He decided to come up and

visit when Chip cashed in.

Transferred up from Milford.

Now we can finish

unfinished business, Jimmy.

You always wanted to be like

your brother, didn't you, Jimmy?

- Yeah, dead.

- Very dead.

- You can't run away this time.

- Tonight's the big night, Jimmy.

Don't tell us you don't remember

today's the anniversary?

He probably forgets his wife's.

And speaking of family, how's

that kid of yours, Jimmy?

Bet he's a chicken.

- Just like his old man.

- We'll find out.

See you tonight, Jimmy boy.

Be there or be square, man.

Leave my family out of this!

- Hey, man, what are you doing?

- Come on, don't hurt us.

Hey, be cool, man.

And after that level, you turn

into a rocket. It's really cool.

Well, anyways, see you guys later.

Mommy, help me! Please, help me!

Somebody help!

Help! Please! Help me!

What happened?

Thank God, he's okay.

Some guys in a black

car tried to hit him.

The cops are out looking for them.

- Did anybody else see the car?

- No, just Scotty.

Well, we'll get you inside.

Let's get you cleaned up.

Now you don't have to sleep.

I just want you to rest. Okay?

Dad?

Can we leave here?

It won't happen again,

Scotty. I promise you.

We're all gonna be fine. Okay?

You know, I have been saving something

for you and I wanted you to have it.

I've just been waiting

for the perfect time.

This was given to me

when I was your age.

And it means a lot to me.

I want you to have it.

Thanks, Dad.

It's cool.

Looking good.

Sally?

Honey?

Sally?

Sally?

- Didn't you hear me?

- The dryer was on.

You got to listen to me.

There are some punks in my

class and they're after me.

They are the ones that

tried to scare Scotty.

That's what this is about.

They're killers.

They killed Billy, they killed

Kate and now they want me.

Why would kids in your

class wanna kill you?

They're the same guys

that killed my brother.

Jim, how do you expect

me to respond to that?

The boys who killed

your brother are dead.

They were killed by a train. You know

that. How could they be alive?

They're not.

Twenty-seven years ago, today, they killed

Wayne and now they came back for me.

They told me, they're gonna play

this whole thing out again.

Look, I am not crazy.

You got to believe me.

I want you to lock all the doors and

windows and don't let anybody in.

Jimmy?

What's wrong?

Excuse me. I need to find a policeman

from about 20, 25 years ago.

- His name was Nell. Officer Nell.

- That'd be Bob Nell.

Right. I got to see him.

It's very, very important.

No, he hasn't been on

the force in years.

He got shot during a burglary

call some years ago.

Almost died, poor bastard.

He's over in Smithfield now,

the retirement home.

I got to warn you, he's

gone around the bend a bit.

Ever since his accident,

he thinks he sees dead people.

Jimmy?

- Jimmy Norman!

- My God, you remember me.

You look into a person's eyes,

you always know who he is or was.

I've been waiting for you, son.

Hey, slow it down.

This is a residential area.

Jimmy and Wayne Norman.

- You two were something else.

- Yes, sir, we were.

I know this is gonna

sound crazy, but...

those boys, the ones

who killed Wayne...

I think they're back again.

I know. I saw him.

- You saw who?

- Your brother Wayne.

He needs you to settle it.

Wayne?

There was this routine burglary.

Routine except that

I got shot in the head.

The doctors said I was clinically

dead for over three minutes.

And that's when I saw him,

Wayne, from the other side.

He was waiting,

stuck in that midrealm.

That dimension between here

and one's final destination.

Sometimes, son,

they're in our hearts.

Sometimes they're in our thoughts.

But if they're unhappy enough,

if something's left unsettled...

sometimes they come back.

They...

Those punks told me they had

transferred in from Milford.

I checked. I can't

find any Milford High.

That's because it isn't a school.

Lawson.

North.

Vincent.

- Hey, Mueller! Mueller!

- You coward.

Mueller...

Yes...

- Welcome to Milford, Jimmy.

- Looking for Mueller, kid?

You're gonna need him

to put this all together.

- Unless we find him first.

- So you better get going, Daddy-O.

You don't have much time.

You're going down tonight, Jimmy!

Tonight, Jimmy!

I'm looking for Karl Mueller.

Who are you?

Jimmy Norman. Wayne

Norman's little brother.

What do you want?

Boy, look at you.

You're the man who punched

my big brother...

knocked him down on the ground and

kicked him when he was defenseless, huh?

Is this what happens to

tough guys like you, huh?

That thing with your

brother was an accident!

Hell, I almost got killed myself.

I just got out right before the train hit.

- Come on, you're coming with me.

- Hey, where are you taking me, man?

Let's go!

Come on, get out!

- What is this? What are we doing here?

- Reliving your past.

Come on!

Mueller, don't you know?

Your buddies are back.

Lawson, Vinnie, North!

For every life they took,

one of them came back.

Seems they're here to finish up some old

business and we're part of the plan.

- You're crazy!

- Yeah?

All right, I'm here with Mueller!

I'm waiting for you!

This is freaking crazy. You're nuts!

I'm getting out of here.

Mueller, come back here!

You coward!

Hello, Mrs. Norman. Can

Jimmy come out and play?

Welcome to the

neighborhood, Mrs. Norman.

Hello, baby!

Nice shooting, Jimbo.

But you can't kill

what's already dead.

All right, come on. Come on,

I'm not running this time.

Good, then we'll see you there.

We wanted to make sure

you were coming, Jimmy.

Bring the wife and kid.

It's fun for the whole family.

Come on, let's go.

- Where are we gonna go?

- Someplace safe.

Come on, come on!

Get inside, come on!

Come on now. You and Scotty

will be safe in here.

My brother promised me.

They were the ones who

killed him, weren't they?

Yeah. And my students.

Why are they after you?

Hey, kid!

- They want revenge.

- For what?

- Something that happened on that day.

- Oh, let's just go.

We could just get in the

car and never come back.

No, they'll find me. They'll

follow me no matter where I go.

I can't keep running.

I have to change what happened,

and then after tonight it'll all be over.

Jim?

I'm so sorry that I doubted you.

I love you.

I will come back.

So you were the one who took them.

What are you doing here, Mueller?

I've been coming by

this place for years.

I used to park my car across the street

at night and just look at the place.

I watched it fall apart,

just like me.

I never meant anything to

happen to your brother.

You got to believe me. My life's

been hell since that clay.

I know it's crazy,

but I believe what you say.

I believe they're back.
