What the hell?

What the hell

you want?

Is our son here?

Jesus christ! Get the

hell out of here!

Michael.

Michael.

What are you doing here?

There's a murderer

running loose.

I didn't want

to leave her alone.

Liar!

He said he was only

protecting the girl, horace.

Now settle down!

Next time i'll kill you,

you little bastard, you hear?

No! Don't...

Jeff, get him

out of here!

I'm gonna get

that bastard.

I'm gonna kill you

Aagh.

I'm sorry, baby.

I'm sorry.

Michael.

, what were you doing in there

In amanda's room?

Michael!

Caroline, not now.

Come on,

let's get out of here.

Come on, buddy.

Uh-Huh.

What i thought.

Here.

This is what i've been

feeling beneath the skin.

What is it

A subcutaneous layer

just beneath the epidermis

I've never seen anything

like it before,

But i knew

i felt something.

What does it mean?

I don't know.

Can he travel?

Well...

I think it's time we got

him back to jackson

And his doctors there,

don't you?

Yeah, or maybe houston

Okay, hotshot,

A big surprise.

You can stop faking it now.

We are going home.

No.

Listen, the doc's

checked you out.

You can't argue

with doc.

And you can write to amanda

when you get home.

Now, come on,

let's get going.

Hop to, my man.

Your mom insists.

No,

I'm not going.

And you can't

make me.

Wanna see me try?

Get your hands off me!

Michael.

Don't talk to your

father like that.

He ain't my father

Billy connors

is my daddy.

What?

What did you say?

Why did you

say that?

I don't know, the words

just slipped out.

Just leave me alone.

Please just leave

me alone!

He's known.

Billy connors.

I am looking

for dexter.

I went down

to the mortuary,

It was locked up.

I wonder where

he would be.

He's dead, judge.

Who did it?

That's what we're

trying to find out

Trying?

Edwin and dexter

were curwins.

And that's who he's killing.

Curwins.

Now you call the state

police if you have to.

Hey, bill?

Yeah?

Bill, i...

I know who it was.

Was what?

Who done the killings.

It was billy.

Only it wasn't billy,

it was the boy.

The maccleary boy

come back as billy.

Uh tom, uh...

Why don't you get

some breakfast?

You look like the hind

end of a coon dog

Just leaving

the swamp.

Ugh!

Aagh!

No, you promised!

Michael,

If you don't mind,

i'd like to, uh...

What's that?

What's that bandage?

It's nothing.

Nothing, you don't see

I told you it's

just a scratch.

You never know.

It might get infected.

Now, just relax.

Aagh!

Maccleary!

Yes?

You've got

to stop him.

Stop who?

The boy, your boy.

Only he ain't your boy

i mean not in his head anyways

What are you

talking about?

, he's the one that' s

been doing all the killing

He told me

so himself

Don't you see?

Billy hated the curwins.

Billy?

Billy connors?

You're the one,

you're the one

Who has been

talking to my son

And filling his head

with that billy connors!

You stay away from me

and you stay away from my son.

Eli!

I think you remember

this voice.

Doc?

Where we used to come

when we were kids, tom!

Do you think i could

ever forget that?

It took me

17 years, tom.

Like the cicadas,

but i came back.

Tom!

Aagh!

Aagh!

Jeff,

Let's check this out.

Doc?

Yeah?

What was-Uh

Billy connors like?

Billy?

Strange boy.

Beautiful to

look at, though.

Tall, silent

when he moved,

He loved

the woods

And everything

in them.

He talked to the animals.

It was said

That even the bugs

would answer him.

You could be talking

about our son.

You believe it,

don't you?

What?

What tom laws

was saying about

Michael and billy connors.

I wouldn't put

much stock in that

Indian palaver,

local nioba nonsense.

Well!

Tom laws is dead.

I want to talk

to your boy.

Michael!

Michael! What are

you doing here?

You gotta get out.

Pa's gonna be

home any second!

He said he'd kill you.

He do that to you?

Can you drive?

Kinda.

Okay-Um.

I want you to

get in the car

Right now and leave.

And you keep going until

you're far away from here.

Why?

Whoever killed the others

Is gonna come

for you, amanda.

I know.

But why? I never did anything

to hurt anybody.

It doesn't make

any difference.

You're a curwin.

Now, grab

some things

And get out of here.

Will you come

with me?

Then i won't

go either.

Goddamn it!

You have to.

Is it that important

to you that i go?

Oh, yes.

Okay then, i promise.

Did i do that?

Oh, it's nothing.

I'm sorry. I-I...

It's okay.

I didn't mean

to hurt you.

Michael?

What's the matter?

Uh, the cicadas.

They're in the

trees now,

The branches.

Soon they'll be

shedding their skins.

What?

Go!

Get in your car

and go!

Right now!

Amanda?

I'll be out

in a second.

I warned you.

I warned you to go.

What?

I warned you.

I warned you to go.

Amanda.

Michael?

Amanda!

Michael!

Michael,

what's wrong?

What are

you doing?

Michael?

Michael, what's

the matter?

Michael-

Get away

from me!

Michael?

Mi-Michael?

Michael?

Michael, why are

you hiding?

Michael?

Aagh!

Oh, my god!

No!

What...

What is it?

I don't know.

Kill me.

What?

Kill me.

Now.

An hour,

it'll be too late.

Michael...

What are

you saying

What are you

doing here, amanda?

You promised

me you'd go.

You promised me.

You promised!

Oh...

You tried to

kill yourself?

Why?

To save you.

To save all of you.

He killed edwin

And then dexter.

They deserved it,

But not tom.

They were friends,

best friends,

But he's

gone crazy.

Who, michael?

He's gone crazy!

Who, michael?

Kill me or you won't

be able to stop him.

Kill me!

Kill me! Kill me!

Let's strap

him down.

Kill me!

Michael!

No!

Kill me!

Michael!

Kill me!

Kill me!

Kill me! Kill me!

Kill me!

Go to lionel

curwin's house,

In the root cellar.

And then

you'll see

It's not me

you'll be killing,

I'll be dead anyway,

B- But him!

Him!

Can't you do something?

Sheriff?

We can check

it out.

Dammit, judge,

I can't have

that boy

Messing with

my amanda.

How you gonna

stop him?

Well, hell, i'll

just kill him!

Blow him away.

You're liable

to get caught.

Unless, of course, uh

He happened to be

another victim

Of that maniac killer.

That's right.

R:

just be anothe

Victim of the

Maniac killer.

Oh, doc.

Do something!

Doc?

What the hell's

down there?

Maccleary.

Hold it.

Oh, jesus! Oh, god!

Billy connors probably.

Can't be, it's too big.

He's chained anyway.

Maybe once,

But damned sure

not always.

He's quieted down,

mrs. Maccleary.

Let's hope the crisis

has passed.

"You gotta get out,

'cause you're a curwin."

But i never

hurt anybody.

Michael.

"Cicadas in

the trees now."

What's with those

cicadas anyway?

Oh!

I really tried

to stop him.

No!

Christ!

Ohh!

Jesus christ!

Aagh!

Oh, my god!

Shoot him!

What are you?

Shoot him!

Shoot!

For christ's sake,

shoot him!

There's something terrible

happening in there.

Caroline? Caroline?

Jeff, let's go.

What is it, jeff?
