I told you before
I'm not one to adore
You tell me what you're
looking for
Is what you find
You're asking what is real
I never know what you feel
I'm lying on a bed of
filth, scared and crying
Look into my heart,
look into my soul
I feel like dying tonight
Look into my eyes
And you never know
I feel like crying tonight
I told you one time
That the stars
were all a lie
They paid you a check
And now you're
gonna do the crime
You're not one to be lied
I'm the waiter of other
people's lies
You made a break
And now you face the crime
Look into my heart,
look into my soul
I feel like dying tonight
Look into my eyes
And you never know
I feel like crying tonight
(MUMBLING)
Another dream casted away
It's all the same
It's just a game
Tell me what's my name
Johnny.
Look into my heart,
look into my soul
I feel like dying tonight
Look into my...
I've been thinking.
Oh, man.
Should I duck and cover?
You know what you need?
Please don't tell me.
You need to get laid,
big time.
I don't need to do anything.
People are going to start
wondering about you, Eric.
So let them.
JOHNNY: Maybe I should
fix you up with Karen.
Why would you fix me
up with your girlfriend?
She could use a good laugh.
She only moans when
she's with me.
Yeesh.
I don't blame her.
Dude, how can you
pass that up?
Easy: I know where
them lips have been.
(MUMBLING)
You're still going to be a
virgin when you go to college.
- Oh!
- Sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- It's okay.
JOHNNY: They have secret
societies
that sacrifice people like you!
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
Are we going to
party hard tonight?
Oh, yes, we are.
Eric is even coming.
All right!
GARY: I thought you
were too much of a pussy
to party on a school night.
You call that thinking?
(LAUGHING)
Let's bounce, Eric doesn't
want to be late for English.
And Rhonda Young...
Yo, Eric!
Yeah, Todd?
What are you doing hanging out
with these headbangers, man?
What do you care?
Look, man, I'm team captain
and I don't like seeing you
hanging out
with this trash, bro!
It looks bad on our image, dude.
Who are you calling trash?
Hey!
It talks, too.
I'm calling you trash, Gruesome.
You and your little slut and
your dope dealing sidekick.
The name is Grissom.
Yeah?
You look pretty gruesome
to me there, pal.
All right, all three of you...
It ain't worth it, Johnny!
You two just get to watch.
I got it.
I got it.
(TODD LAUGHS)
(THUDDING)
(ROCK MUSIC)
Watch the car!
(CROWD MURMURING)
You just made a big mistake,
you long-haired freak.
(CROWD CHEERING)
JOHNNY: Let me
make another one.
Come on, Todd!
Come on, Todd, kick his ass!
- Come on, Todd!
- Kick his ass, man!
Show him what
you've got, Johnny!
Come on, get him!
(REPETITIVE THUDDING)
(CROWD CHEERING)
(THUDDING)
(REPETITIVE THUDDING)
All right, man!
That's enough, Johnny!
What the hell is my name?
TODD: Grissom!
JOHNNY: Get the hell
off my car!
Don't touch me, man!
Who's gruesome now?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
"Like one man on a lonesome
road, doth walk in fear
"and dread, and having once
turned round,
"turns no more his head, because
he knows a frightful fiend
"doth close behind him tread."
Wooooo!
(CLASSMATES LAUGH)
Johnny?
Yes, Mrs. Crane?
Shut up.
Yes, ma'am.
Sorry I'm late, Mrs. Crane.
Mr. Milton wanted
me to give you this.
Thank you, Rhonda.
Hey, Rhonda, how about
going for a joy ride tonight?
Drop dead, Grissom.
Shit.
You wanted to see me,
Mr. Milton?
Trust me, desire has nothing
to do with it, Grissom.
Todd claims you did this
to him in the parking lot.
So?
Nurse.
Sit!
When are you going to learn
you can't use my school
as your personal
stomping ground?
He started it.
It's always the other guy,
isn't it?
You never do anything wrong.
Well, I got news for you mister:
your reign of terror is over.
I'm suspending you for a
week, effective immediately.
That asshole was
looking for trouble!
Maybe that's why he
didn't press charges,
consider yourself lucky.
This is bullshit!
Come on, Grissom, we've both
played this game long enough
to know the rules.
How many times
you sat in that chair?
You said I couldn't graduate
if I missed anymore days.
Oh, don't worry, I'm not
going to flunk you over this.
That'd be like punishing
myself, wouldn't it?
But this is the final
inning, one more strike
and you're out on your rear.
I'm talking expulsion.
Got it?
Yeah.
Got it.
Get out of my sight.
I don't want to see your face
around here for another week.
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
(PEOPLE LAUGHING ON TV)
(WOMAN MURMURING ON TV)
CHARLIE: What the hell
are you doing back here?
Don't worry about it.
Answer me, goddamn it,
I'm your father!
You want to know why I'm home?
I want to know why you don't
have a job!
You little son of a bitch!
What did you just say to me?
Huh?!
What?!
Come out here and face
me like a man!
You know I can
still kick your ass!
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
You have to come out sometime...
And I'm going to be here.
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
In my black car driving
And my switchblade shining
It'll be a hell of a night
I'll the last
that you'll see
When your night
has dead on the floor
One day just clear
You're not hit, not here
Even if you're
crying in fear
Put your life in my hands
It's all part of my plan
Make the whole world bleed
He, he, hey
I'll take my revenge
You'll be dead
Before I drive away
I'll always find a way
Wooo!
I've always been
So, man, I'm never
gonna stop
I've always been
So, man, I'm never
gonna stop
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
Yeah!
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
I died in anger
I want revenge
The color I see is red
I'm never gonna stop
Blood is gonna drop
Until everybody is dead
With a cut, and a slash
I will sever, I will gash
No-one will be able to stand
With a slash and a cut
You will quiver,
you will rot
While I hold your
guts in my hands
How you doing, Eric?
Why aren't we moving?
(LAUGHING)
What's so funny?
I'm not drunk.
(SNORTING)
Not in my car, Gary.
Fine.
I'm always been gruesome
and I'm never gonna stop
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
Hold on.
ERIC: Hold on?
Why hold on?
Slow down, Johnny.
JOHNNY: Who you
telling what to do?
That's fast enough, Johnny.
Fuck you.
ERIC: Johnny, come on, man!
Fuck you, too.
You're going to
get us all killed!
Fuck all of you!
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
Slow down!
KAREN: Gary!
ERIC: Gary, come on, dude!
You're killing him!
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(GROANING)
(TIRES SCREECHING)
No!
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(THUDDING)
(GROANING)
Gary!
Gary, stop!
What is wrong with you?!
- Gary!
- Get the fuck out here!
You stay!
(GROANING)
You fucking freak!
(GRUNTING)
Do something!
(GRUNTING)
Gary, stop!
Please!
Johnny!
(GRUNTING)
(GRUNTING)
(SOBBING)
No!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
KAREN: Oh, God!
(SOBBING)
ERIC: No!
(RUMBLING)
Fucking asshole!
Cool it!
(RETCHING)
Don't you dare get sick, Eric!
We can't leave any evidence
and that includes your barf.
What are you talking about?
We have to make this
look like an accident!
We?!
You did this!
You killed him!
He was going to kill
all three of us!
No!
Oh, God!
He was not serious, he
wouldn't...
It was you!
Bullshit!
He wanted to punch his own
ticket and take us with him.
He was out of his freaking mind!
You're out of
your fucking mind!
You're so wired you don't know
what's real and what isn't.
You tell him.
He's right, Eric.
(SOBBING)
Look at the car.
If I hadn't pulled the
emergency brake,
we'd all be dead right now.
You didn't have to kill him!
What do you think would've
happened if I let him go?
You knew how he was!
I had to protect myself, I had
to protect all three of us!
Oh, Jesus.
Why didn't you stop me?
Everything happened so fast.
You mean you were too scared.
Look, if it was self-defense,
the cops will understand.
Are you nuts?
They'll hang me out to
dry, and you two with me.
They'll label us drug-addicts
and devil-worshipers.
They'll lock us up and throw
away the key,
our lives will be ruined.
Our parent's lives
will be ruined.
Just give me a minute
to think, all right?
By all means, take your time.
It's not like anybody
could drive around here
any second and see...
Where the fuck do you think
you're going?!
We cannot do this!
We have to go to the police.
Johnny is dead!
What's done is done, and nothing
is going to bring him back.
JOHNNY: No!
Do you want to pay for
this the rest of your life?
There's no way we get away
with this.
Who's going to investigate it?
Chief Crane's job is handing
out speeding tickets.
No matter what we do,
we'll still miss something.
Eric, nobody will know
what happened here except us.
Do what he says, Eric.
What do we do?
Give him a burial at sea.
JOHNNY: You killed me,
you fucking killed me.
You killed me, you killed me.
You're dead,
you're dead, so dead.
You're all dead to me, I'm
going to kill every one of you.
I'm going to kill
every one of you.
(CELL PHONE BUZZING)
Matt?
Matt, wake up.
(MATT SIGHS)
Your phone.
Yeah?
Jen?
Oh, no.
Yeah, tell Dan I'll be
there in half an hour.
What is it?
Some idiot drove off
the Willow Creek bridge.
Oh, God!
Do they know who?
Not yet, the car's still in
the water.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I wonder what happened.
I don't know.
I guess the whole
town will be talking
about it soon enough.
Yeah.
Hey, I have something for you.
Your mom's going to be
getting a new car.
So this one will be yours.
For being such a good kid.
Thanks, Dad.
Your welcome.
Eric, I hope you
have a great day.
You too.
Thanks.
I'll see you.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(STUDENTS MURMURING)
How'd it go?
My folks were in bed
when I got home.
I don't know how much
longer I can keep this up.
Just be cool, okay?
It'll all be over soon.
(SIGHING)
Thank you and good morning.
It's with great sadness that
I must inform you of a tragedy
which has befallen
a fellow student.
John Grissom, a senior at
this school died last night
in an automobile accident.
Oh, shit!
John was a member of the
track team his freshman year
and he will be missed.
Funeral arrangements
will be announced soon.
What do you think happened?
What goes around
comes around, bud.
(ROCK MUSIC)
Eric?
Oh!
Hey, Rhonda.
Are you hiding?
Trying to.
I just wanted to say how
sorry I am about Johnny.
Thanks.
I am.
I know how close you two were.
Just a couple of days ago,
you told him to drop dead.
You know I didn't mean that.
You don't give up, do you?
Not when I can
see someone's hurting.
I'm fine.
So you're just
naturally rude then?
I'm sorry.
That's better.
Look, I appreciate
your concern.
Do you want to talk about it?
I really don't.
That's okay.
We can just sit here.
Johnny G, what a shame!
Not really a surprise, though.
Caught that boy
shoplifting once.
Can you believe it?
Stealing!
From a blind man, a vet at that.
We were in fifth grade.
John Vincent Grissom, age 17.
Rigor mortis is present
in the extremities
and lividity has set in.
Teeth are generally in
good shape, three fillings.
There's a mole on his left
arm, scar on the right knee,
upper lip and right shoulder.
There was a bruise
on his right breast
and abrasions on the
knuckles of both hands.
He was in a fight the
morning before his death.
The vessels are occluded
and the face is dark red
and congested, indicating
cyanosis.
Clean lungs, strong heart.
This was a healthy young man.
You put his organs in bags
like this?
After I weigh them.
It makes putting the
pieces back together
a little less messy.
There's a fracture
here on the hyoid bone
and thyroid cartilage.
It's my opinion that Mr.
Grissom died of intensive
and severe injury to his neck,
resulting in accidental
asphyxiation.
You sure this was an accident?
That bruise on his neck looks...
It's true, most ligature
strangulations are homicides,
but that's not the case here.
You and I both know
toxicology is going to show
that boy was either
drunk or stoned
when he drove that
car off that bridge.
Wasn't wearing a seat belt,
steering wheel crushed
his throat on impact,
plain and simple.
MATT: You're the expert.
(EERIE MUSIC)
(SIGHING)
You're in the wrong bathroom.
I just wanted to see if
you needed a ride home.
My mom is getting me.
Can I have a swig?
Sure.
Cheers.
You want to grab
a bite to eat later?
You sure?
We can do something else just
to take your mind off things.
It's only been a week, Gary.
Right. Yeah, um...
I almost forgot, actually
I got you something.
What is it?
GARY: Just a little something
to make you feel better
than that hooch.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Just call me if you need
anything.
(ORGAN MUSIC)
(PEOPLE MURMURING)
Eric.
Hey, thanks for coming.
I don't know
what to say, Charlie.
Don't say anything.
It's not necessary.
You know, thank your folks for
the flowers for me, will you?
That was real nice of them.
Sure, of course.
(SIGHING)
Christ, I need a drink.
Take it easy, you can
go home in a little while.
Home to what?
An empty house?
I was a rotten husband
and a lousy father.
And now I'm alone.
Johnny loved you, Charlie.
He may not have always
shown it because, well,
he was Johnny.
But he understood how difficult
things have been for you.
I don't know.
For real.
Eric, you were a good friend.
I mean, if it wasn't for you,
we might have had this
funeral a lot sooner.
Carol Crane, Mr. Grissom.
Oh, Matt's wife, right?
Johnny really liked you.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
CHARLIE: Thank you.
Excuse me.
Where's Karen?
Maybe she turned chicken.
Check out the crate yet?
No, I'm not going to.
Don't be a schmuck.
We don't want to draw any
attention to ourselves, do we?
No-one's going to notice
if I don't look
inside that coffin.
Think again.
This time look at
Chief Crane over there.
Come on.
Why do they call it the
slumber room anyway?
Its not like anyone ever wakes
up in here.
Did you hear the one about
the Jewish undertaker?
Shut up.
(SIGHING)
It doesn't even look like him.
Yeah, they have to make you
presentable
before they throw you in the
ground and cover you with dirt.
Excuse me, gentlemen,
I was wondering
if I could ask you for a favor.
Name it.
Could I impose on you
to serve as pall bearers?
You can count on us.
Wonderful.
I'm sure the deceased
appreciates your assistance,
wherever he is.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Our physical bodies cannot
inherit the kingdom of God.
While we may not all sleep,
we will all be transformed,
for when the trumpet sounds,
those who have died will
be raised to live forever.
Those who are living
will also be transformed,
because our dying bodies
must be transformed
into bodies that never die.
Our mortal bodies must be
transformed into immortal bodies.
(SIGHING)
Death...
I think they're
going to be a while,
want to grab a
brew while we wait?
- As long as you're buying.
- I always buy.
(PRIEST MURMURS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I can't wait until
I get my degree
so I can get the
hell up out of here.
Yeah, what then?
You'll be an engineer
in Buffalo instead
of a grave digger in Red Hill.
Same shit when winter comes.
Uh-uh.
Fuck that, I'm going to Florida.
You think that's any better?
I'll be away from
his snow, won't I?
Sure, but you'll have
hurricanes instead.
Humidity, alligators,
mutant insects.
Okay, I'll be away
from all these stiffs.

(SOBBING)
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
(SCREAMING)
It's seven o'clock,
we're the only ones here.
Yeah, how romantic.
You going to be much longer?
I've got to mop up in here.
Do you know who I am?
Do you know who my father is?
Mop somewhere else tonight,
no-one's going to know.
I'm done when I'm
good and ready.
Jesus Christ.

(STUDENTS MURMURING)
We missed you at
practice yesterday, Eric.
Sorry, coach.
I ran on my own.
Look, I know you're
still upset about Johnny,
but tonight's meet is important.
We can win this one.
I understand.
Good man!

Somebody's body is hanging
upside down in the gym!
It's Todd.
How do you know?
His head is in my locker.
How'd it get there?
I sure as hell
didn't put it there!
We have to get rid of this
thing before the cops show up!
We?!
Yeah, you're up to your neck
in this just as much as I am.
I had nothing to do with this.
Neither did I, but if
the cops think I did,
they might take a look
at Johnny's accident
a little more closely.
I'm getting tired of helping
you clean up your messes.
Dude, I'm the victim here.
And as for the other thing,
you're not some innocent
bystander, you're an accessory.
What are we supposed to do,
carry him out the front door?
Can I have your gym bag?
Give me your fucking gym
bag or I'll take it from you!
That's what you think.
(SCREAMING)
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Go to homeroom now!
Gym is canceled!
Move, now!
(CLANKING)
Holy crap!
(RUSTLING)
All right...
Stick it in.
You're joking, right?
Yeah, I always get funny when
there's a head in my locker.
Stop joking around
and put it in.
Hell, no!
Fine, just hold onto this
while I do it.
(GROANING)
What's wrong?
It's stuck.
(GROANING)
Hurry up.
Ah!
Oh, God.
You're coming with me.
That's what you think.
Huh, guess what pal?
You just put your fingerprints
all over the bag, come on!
Carol, you don't
want to see this.
Let go of me, Michael!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I told you not
to look at this.
Your husband is on his way.
Go back to your classroom
and look after your students.
I swear to God someone's
trying to frame me.
People don't have morals
anymore, huh?
You could say that again.
Here.
Hm?
Head's up.
Hey, you can't tell
anyone about this,
especially not Karen.
(SPLASHING)
(SIREN BLARING)

(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
MATT: Has anyone
touched that body?
No-one's been inside
at all until just now.
Does this building have
cameras in it?
Only in the front lobby.
It's a safe school, we
don't even have vandalism.
- I'll need that footage.
- You got it.
It happened here,
then the perp
dragged the body across the gym.
My office has the
attendance reports,
we can find out who this is.
(SIGHING)
I know who it is.
Marty Kumler called
this morning.
Todd never came home last night.
MICHAEL: Oh, no!
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Hey, what's up?
Where you going?
To see Johnny's father.
Come on, get in.
Sure.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
No problem.
Is he up here on the right?
Yeah, I'll let you
know when we get close.
Okay.
I can't believe what happened to
Todd.
Neither can I.
I heard they arrested
Darryl Bauer.
The janitor?
The biggest story
to hit this town
and I'm stuck working a beat
at a monthly school newspaper.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
Thanks for the lift.
Do you mind if I join you?
I feel bad I didn't
go to the funeral.
I'm sure Charlie would
appreciate the company.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Maybe he isn't home?
ERIC: Charlie's always
home in the daytime.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
- Oh, shit!
- What?
Something bad, stand back.
RHONDA: Wait.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Thank you.
(GASPS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
ERIC: Call 911.
And that's exactly
how you found him?
Yeah, surrounded by
all those empty bottles.
Yeah, well, I guess that isn't
much a surprise now, is it?
No, sir.
You'd best be getting home,
your folks will be worried
about you after
what's happened today.
All right.
Thanks for your help.
Come on, I'll give you a ride.
Thanks.
(CREAKING)
What do you see?
Nothing, just my imagination.
(CREAKING)
Are you sure?
Yeah.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(KEYS CLINKING)
(SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
What are you doing here?
Your mother let me in.
What's wrong?
Suffering from a guilty
conscience?
Aren't you?
At least I went to the
funeral.
Don't you think I wanted to?
I loved Johnny.
I just couldn't do it.
I couldn't see him like that.
Charlie's dead.
Drank himself to death.
Oh, poor Charlie.
Yeah, two people died
on that bridge.
Eric, I've been
getting phone calls.
Congratulations.
Prank calls.
Whoever it is,
doesn't say anything.
Look, call the police if
you're worried.
The calls are being
made on Johnny's phone.
That doesn't even make sense.
I'm scared.
What if whoever it is
knows what we did?
Maybe it's Gary.
He wouldn't do this to me.
Oh, yeah?
Kind of sounds like
you caught his cold.
Eric...
Karen, dear, you're
welcome to stay for dinner.
Oh, no, thank you,
Mrs. Carter, I have to get home.
She's expecting a call.
Well, tell your mother
I said hello, okay?

How about...

You're dead.
You're supposed to be dead.
Why aren't you dead?!

Do you think they'll cancel
the rest of your track season?
I hope so.
I never wanted to join the
team in the first place.
Why did you?
Johnny talked me
into joining with him.
Quits the team after he
gets into an argument
with Coach Wrangler.
RHONDA: Sounds like Johnny.
Yeah.
What did you see
at the house today?
ERIC: I told you, nothing.
What do you think you saw?
You wouldn't believe
me if I told you.
Try me.

(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
How's it going?
Hi.
Everything's fine.
Oh, I bet.
Oh, no, don't worry, we got ours
to go.
Are they dating?
I don't know.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Goodnight.
Goodnight.

It's been that kind of week.
Yeah, it has.

Don't answer it.
Every time you answer
it, someone else is dead.
Hey.
Hey.
Hey, hey hey.
Easy.
Easy, honey.
I know what
you're going through.
It's going to be okay,
all right?
It's going to be okay.
(STUDENTS MURMURING)
Morning, Erica.
Don't call me that.
GARY: Oh, what's wrong,
Romeo?
Didn't things go well
with Rhonda last night?
Mind your business.
Relax, I've got to
give you credit.
It's about time you made
a move on that book worm.
Like you made a move on Karen?
Now she's available,
isn't she?
I'm glad you got what
you were after.
GARY: What's that
supposed to mean?
Isn't Johnny dead
because you wanted
to get in Karen's pants?
Keep it down, would you?
Jesus, what are you
trying to do?
I'm getting rid of a bad itch.
(GARY CHUCKLES)
I'm warning you, shut up.
What if I don't, you
going to kill me too?
Look, I'm done with you
and Karen, all right?
Any more dead heads pop
up, you get her help.

Johnny?!

Eric, could I speak
with you for a moment?
Sure.
I'll see you later.
Has anything strange
happened to you this week?
Like what?
Oh, I don't know, anything
out of the ordinary?
Nothing about this week's
been ordinary, Ms. Crane.
Why do you ask?
I just thought since you
were Johnny's best friend
you might have noticed
anything peculiar
that's occurred this week?
Did anything peculiar
happen to you?
No, of course not,
don't be silly.
You can go now, I'm sorry
to have wasted your time.
You didn't waste it.

JOHNNY: What's your name?

Why are you wearing that mask?
JOHNNY: It's part of a game.
TAMMY: Can I play?
JOHNNY: Maybe.
Who were those boys?
My brother and his friends.
JOHNNY: Where do you live?
Right there.
JOHNNY: Your mother let
you come out and play today?
Didn't she warn you about the
bad man who's hurting people?
Yeah.
She said for us to
play in our backyard.
JOHNNY: Aren't you
afraid of me?
Why should I be?
JOHNNY: Maybe I'm a monster.
There's no such thing
as monsters, silly.
JOHNNY: Didn't your
mother ever tell you
not to talk to strangers?
You're not a stranger, I've seen
you lots of times.
JOHNNY: You have?
Yeah, you live right there.
What's that, gum?
JOHNNY: No gum.
Just this.

Do you have to stop here?
It's not like I really
had a choice.
You're in quite a hurry.
Can you blame us?
That school's really dangerous.
MATT: You two an item now?
It's kind of up in the air,
it's a really rough time for
both of us.
Karen, is Gary here
your new beau?
Yeah, I guess.
There, you see that?
A simple answer to a simple
question.
You going to write me
a simple ticket or what?
No, no ticket.
Just some advice: go home.
Stay there.
Be careful.
I don't need any more dead
teenagers on my hands.
Thanks, but we're both 18,
so your curfew
doesn't apply to us...

(DOORBELL RINGING)
Jesus!
What are you doing here?
I need to talk to you.
I almost just killed you.
I lied this morning,
something strange has happened
to me this week.
CAROL: Go on.
Yesterday, after your
husband walked away
from me and Rhonda, I know
how crazy this sounds...
I saw Johnny in
his bedroom window.
You know that's
impossible, right?
I know what I saw.
I didn't then, but I do now.
I just went over there and
saw his funeral suit hanging
in his closet.
Ms. Crane, what did
you want to tell me?
I saw him too.
I knew it!
I need you to come with me.
Where?
I cannot believe I let
you talk me into this.
ERIC: You didn't need
too much convincing.
CAROL: I've been doing
some research online.
ERIC: So have I.
CAROL: A visible ghost
or an animated corpse
is called a revenant.
Taken from the
Latin word Revenant.
Meaning the returned.
The only thing that can stop
or trap a revenant
is running water.
Should we stuff
him into a barrel
and throw him
over Niagara Falls?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(SIGHING)
Sorry, Mike, I didn't
mean to frighten you.
It's Michael.
I finished my walk through,
everything seems copacetic.
You ready to go?
Yeah, I'll get my stuff,
I'll be out in a minute.
I'll be in my car.
Hm!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(SCREAMING)
My suspension
is over Mr. Milton,
can I come back to school?
No!
No!
You can't!
Go away!
Go away, go back to
wherever you came from!
Coffins are worse than
detention.
(SCREAMING)
I thought you weren't
afraid of me.
(GROANING)
Please!
(JOHNNY LAUGHS)
Please!
Don't kill me!
You need some guts, fat boy.
Here, have mine!
(SCREAMING)
(GROANING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Somebody's already been here.
He must have filled the dirt
back in after he crawled out.
We're the only ones here.
Yeah, the only living people
here.
What do you think you're
going to prove by all this?
Whether or not
Johnny's in his grave.
I don't need to
see an empty coffin
to know he's not in there.
I do.
And when we find that
it's empty, then what?
Then we'll have something
concrete to show your husband.
My husband isn't going to
believe that we saw Johnny.
Look, if we don't convince
him, Johnny keeps killing.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
The liner's been
smashed to pieces.
The seal's broken too.

(PHONE RINGING)
Carol, where the hell
have you been?
Do you have any idea
how worried I've been?
Rhonda Young's been murdered.
What?
Her throat was slit wide open.
Eric and I found her body.
Where?
In Johnny Grissom's coffin.
What the hell were you
doing in Grissom's grave?
Eric saw Johnny at
Charlie's house yesterday.
Just after you left him and
Rhonda.
MATT: That's...
Impossible, I know!
I saw him too.
Johnny is dead.
I didn't say he wasn't.
Corpses don't get up and
climb out of their graves.
Then how do you explain what
we found?
I can't explain anything...
Yet, but that doesn't excuse
what you did.
What we did is
beside the point!
Someone murdered Rhonda and
hid her body in that coffin!
That beautiful young
girl is dead.
And Johnny's body isn't there.
If someone did kill Rhonda,
that same person also stole
Johnny's body.
It must be the same psycho
that killed Todd
and Michael Milton.
Michael?
Dan just found
him in his office.
Oh, God.
You're not leaving my sight
until we catch this maniac.
He's haunting us because we
killed him.
Gary choked Johnny to death.
Me and Karen helped...
Make it look like an accident.
So it was Belter.
Jen, get in here.
Johnny put Todd's head in
Gary's locker.
We threw it in a drainage
pipe behind the school.
Put an APB out for Gary
Belter and Karen Slatter,
wanted for questioning in
connection with Grissom's death.
Send two men over to the cemetery
to check out Grissom's grave,
tell them to expect the worst.
Send another car over to the
high school
to search a drain pipe out back.
Kumler's head might be in it.
We're running out of men.
You, sit down.
(PHONE RINGING)
Carol, wait outside.
Start talking.
You want to get
something to eat?
(WHOOSHING)
What was that?
My fly.
Mom?
You see?
You're paranoid.
It's probably the shit.
I want more.
Help yourself.
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
There you go, that's my girl.
(SNORTING)
Snort.
It'll help, yeah?
(COUGHING)
(DOOR CREAKS)
JOHNNY: Hi guys, having fun?
Jesus!
(KAREN SCREAMS)
Looks like I caught you with
your hand
in the cookie jar, Gar.
What the hell do you want?!
Really?
You kill me, total my
wheels and steal my girl...
What do you think I want?!
Forget it, you can
have her back!

Please!
I might have let you live
if you hadn't
screwed this asshole.
Oh, God!
It's a little too late
to be getting religious,
sweetheart.
I never loved him.
I only ever loved you.
We'll be together soon.
(THUDDING)
(CRUNCHING)
I have never been so humiliated
in all my entire life!
Picking up my son
from a police station!
I just don't understand
how this could happen!
You don't understand
anything about me!
I certainly didn't think I
was raising a grave robber!
For God's sakes, I'm not a
grave robber!
Don't use that tone
with your mother, Eric!
Accessory to murder!
Do you have any idea how
much money we're going to spend
on legal fees?
My classmates are being
slaughtered left and right,
and all you two care about is
what the neighbors will think?
That's enough!
What's the use?!
You don't even
listen to each other.
Eric!
MR. CARTER: Come back here!
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
(WOMAN LAUGHING)
(HARD ROCK MUSIC)
(KEYS CLINKING)
(BLEEPING)
I don't understand you, Carol.
You're married to a
cop, for Christ's sake!
You know damn well you can't
exhume a body
without a court order,
and judges aren't exactly
in the habit of issuing them
to high school teachers.
Criminal trespassing, grave
robbery, corruption of a minor.
You still think we're
making all of this up?
Even after your own men
confirmed what we found.
The only thing that matters
now is that we have Eric
to testify against Belter.
No, we don't.
His father just called, the
kid climbed out a window
and took off in their SUV.
I never should
have let him leave.
Put another APB out,
this time for Eric.
Dan just called in, he
found Belter and Slatter
inside the girl's
bedroom, double homicide.
(SIGHING)
MATT: Just get
Beelock over there, asap!
Copy that.
(PHONE RINGING)
So much for your theory that
Gary was behind all of this.
Maybe Eric...
Eric was with me,
I'm Eric's alibi.
He's running away and
we have to stop him.
He isn't running away.
He's going after Johnny.
Look, your students are
being murdered left and right,
it's only natural for you
to experience some kind
of reaction to what's happening.
Eric and I each saw Johnny
on two separate occasions.
Is Eric having an emotional
breakdown too?
The exact same emotional
breakdown?
This whole town
has gone insane!
He attacked me!
MATT: Who did?
Johnny.
He broke into our house
yesterday and he attacked me.
I didn't want to tell you
because I knew
you wouldn't believe me,
but it's true.
What do you mean,
he attacked you?
He came into our bathroom
and he put his filthy hands
on me and he stuck his
rotting tongue in my mouth.
Will you stop it?!
Matt, please listen!
Eric has gone after Johnny
and we can't let
him do this alone!
We have to help him
before it's too late.
(PHONE RINGING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(BLEEPING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Johnny!
I'm here, just like you wanted!
Come get me, you son of a bitch!
(CAR ENGINE HUMMING)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
So it's true, they really
do return
to the scene of the crime.
I knew I'd find you here.
We've always been on
the same wavelength, Eric.
Sorry I'm late, I had
trouble starting my car.
What the hell are you?
I'm fucking pissed off!
You have no idea how
much will power it takes
to move even one fucking muscle
when your spirit's left your
body.
Yeah?
So why bother?
Because nothing's as
sweet as revenge, Eric.
Not even sex.
But you wouldn't know anything
about that, would you?
Karen and Gary...
I saved the best for last.
ERIC: Why me?
Because you were my
best friend.
So why go through with this?
Because you're alive
and I'm not!
It isn't fair!
You tried to kill all of
us that night, right here!
JOHNNY: I was drunk!
There's no excuse!
You said yourself I
never would have done it!
I'm not so sure now, after
you murdered five people.
Well, I stopped giving
a fuck what you believe
the night you helped
Gary dump my fucking body
in this creek.
Rhonda never did
anything to you!
She's dead because
you loved her.
That's the thought
that I want you
to carry to your grave, Eric.
She called out your name.
She cried for you,
over and over.
Where were you?
(THUDDING)
You sure wiped
the smile off my face.
(CLICKING)

I'm going to kill
every one of you.
(GROANING)
No!
You might hit Eric.
It's not my fault!

Fuck you!
It's isn't my fault,
you hear me?!
It isn't my fault!

I told you before
I'm not one to adore
You tell me what you're
looking for
Is what you find
You're asking what is real
I never know what you feel
I'm lying on a bed of
filth, scared and crying
Look into my heart,
look into my soul
I feel like dying tonight
Look into my eyes
And you never know
I feel like crying tonight
I told you one time
That the stars
were all a lie
They paid you a check
And now you're gonna
do the crime
You're not one to be lied
I'm the waiter of other
people's lies
You made a break
And now you face the crime
Look into my heart,
look into my soul
I feel like dying tonight
Look into my eyes
And you never know
I feel like crying tonight
(MUMBLING)
Another dream casted away
It's all the same
It's just a game
Tell me what's my name

look into my soul

Look into my eyes
And you never know
I feel like crying tonight
I feel like dying
I feel like dying tonight
I feel like dying
I feel like dying tonight
