-Oh, hey.

Is that the only thing you wanna ask her, Quentin?
Asshole.
Hey.
Why is Kris with Dean?
Okay.
Come on.
That's fucked up.
What was that all about?
Um, Jesse's just--
He's pissed because Kris broke up with him.
-I didn't even know they were together.
-Yeah.
I guess I can keep the change?
Yeah. Look...
...I'm sorry about the mess.
-These guys are just--
-I'm used to it.
Sc you ever get tired
cf working here every weekend?
Do you ever get tired
cf coming here every weekend?
Quentin. You coming or no?
Sorry. Look, this should
take care cf the rest cf it.
-Sec-1 you around.
-Sec-1 you.
Listen, maybe you should
talk to somebody.
I did.
And he thinks all my problems
come from my past.
We began going through my childhood...
...and that's when they started.
When what started?
These nightmares.
Nightmares.
Sc, what, you can't sleep?
I can sleep.
I just don't want to.
Okay, Dean, listen to me.
They're just dreams.
Okay? They're not real.
These dreams...
...they're real.
They're nut.
They're re-- I'm sorry, Kris.
No, its
Kris,
No, no. Its fine.
Im gonna go clean myself off.
Its okay. Its okay.
You're not real.
You're not real. You're not real!
I am now.
Dean, what are you doing?
You're not real.
-Dean, stop it. Dean.
Dean, stop it!
Dean!
Dean!
Tragedy can shake us at our core...
...and it can also unite us
in our shared grief.
Today we are gathered and united...
...for the tragic loss of a young m I with so much life ahead of him.
Let us pray.
Lord, you who can
turn the shadow cf death...
...into the light cf a new day...
...as we gather to commend Dean
into your hands...
...help us to wait upon thee
with penitent hearts...
...and remind us cf he who died
that we might live.
--and the power and the glory
- forever and ever. Amen.
Amen.
-Come on, sweetie. Its over.
Yeah.
Let's go say hi.
-Gwen. Hi, h
-Its been a long time.
-Yeah, yeah.
-- Especially under these circumstances.
- Yeah, not a....
You know, Nance,
if you need someone to talk to....
Im okay.
Thank you.
We're setting up a crisis center
at the school.
-- You know where my office is, right, Nancy?
- Yeah.
We're gonna head cut. Take care.
-Good to see you.
Bye-bye, Quentin.
You knew Dean that far back?
Jesus, that is me.
But I don't know how I'm in that picture.
I didn't meet Dean until high school.
Come on.
-Dean said something right before he died.
-Oh, please don't.
He said, "You're not real."
He kept repeating it over and over again.
Do you have any idea what that means?
No. I don't.
Think about it. What would it mean? Dean was on a load of medication when--
Jesse.
When it happened, it was like
somebody was making him do it...
...but there was nobody there.
Jesse, you have to believe me.
Kris, it was late and you were scared.
Your mind was just playing tricks on you...
-...that's all.
-I believe you.
You do?
I've seen....
-I saw--
-You didn't see anything.
You weren't right there. Kris was.
Shes already fucked up, I so leave her alone.
You have no idea what Ive seen.I
Lets go home.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Hey, Mom, where are all the photos of me
from when I was younger?
-They're not here.
-Oh, well, who knows?
Theyre probably packed away
over the garage. Why?
Because today at the funeral I, um....
I saw a photo cf Dean and I
when we were, like, 5.
But, you know, it's funny, I don't remember
knowing Dean before high school.
Who can remember being 5 years old?
Hey, why don't you pack those up?
Dinner's almost ready.
Good night, honey.
Remember me?
Kris? You okay?
What is that?
Uh, nothing.
Just, like, a sketch.
Are you okay?
-Yeah, Im okay.
-Yeah?
Are you okay?
Yeah, you know.
You know, like, if you ever need somebody,
if you ever wanna talk to somebody, I--
I'm sure you have like a thousand
other people you could talk to...
...but if you wanna talk to somebody....
Thanks.
Quentin. You're gonna be late to class.
Come on, buddy, let's go.
-My dad.
-I know.
Now, class, it was Pericles
who told the Athenian people...
...they should all gather
into the gates cf the city...
while his naval fleet picked off the Spartans by sea.
Now, it was to be a slow
but sure victory.
The Spartans would never make it over the walls of the acropolis, Pericles said.
But what he didnt take into account is that the plague would eventually strike.
Open your bucks to page 84.
To further complicate matters...
...the Spartans were armed
with a variety cf weapons...
...some cf them even improvised.
And they would not hesitate to slaughter
every Athenian they saw...
...even
children.
Especially the children cf soldiers.
This is where the....
Wake up.
Wake up, wake up, wake up.
You really shouldn't fall asleep in class.
Hi, Kris.
-Who are you?
You look just as beautiful...
...as ever.
You have nothing to worry about.
This won't hurt...
. . . 0 Fl e. . .
...little...
...bit.
Are you okay, Miss Fowles?
What happened?
I'm sorry.
What?
Kris!
Rufus.
Rufus, what are you doing?
Huh? What are you doing cut here?
Come on.
Rufus.
Come on.
Hey.
I have to fly to London
on a red eye tonight.
Okay.
You gonna be okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm gonna be all right. Have a safe flight.
I just worry about you.
-Try and get some sleep.
-Okay.
I'll call you when I land.
I love you.
Love you.
Jesus, Jesse.
-What the hell are you doing here?
-Are you gonna let me in?
Yeah, come in.
All right, I know I've been an asshole...
...and I've been jealous
and I've been fucked up.
But Dean was my friend too.
Will you please tell me
what's been going on?
I'm having these dreams.
And I'm scared.
I think Dean was having them too.
Kris, listen, we've all--
I know what you're gonna say.
But now every time I dream...
...I always see this man.
And he's....
He's burned...
...and melted.
And he's always trying to...
-...attack me with these knives--
-Knives on his fingers.
What?
Oh, my God.
We're having the same dream.
-Kris, it's not possible.
-It is possible.
-It's just a dream, all right?
-It's not a dream.
Shh. Shh.
Shh. Shh.
Oh, God.
Im so afraid.
All I wanna do is go to sleep,
but if I do he's gonna kill me like Dean.
Maybe we should just
stop talking about it, all right?
We keep talking about it, we'll keep thinking
about it, then we'll keep dreaming about it.
Look at me.
You'll stay with me?
Of course I'll stay with you.
Rufus!
Rufus, get in here!
Rufus!
Ugh. Shit.
Rufus.

-No, thats impossible. No.
Nancy.
Shit. We gotta stop this.

Oh, shit.
Police. Don't move!

Nightmares?

Get up.
Folks posted your bail.
Jesse, help me.
Help me, please.
Kris?
-Oh, God.
-No.
Just me.
What do you want from me?
Hmm. I don't know, Jesse.
You think you can turn back time?
-Answer me!
-No.
Do you think you can
bring the dead back to life?
-No. No!
-No?
I didnt fucking think so.
No! No! No!
Why are you screaming?
I haven't even cut you yet.
I didn't do it! I'm innocent
Get me cut cf here!
Let me the fuck cut cf here!
Did you know
that after the heart stops beating...
the brain keeps functioning for well over seven minutes?
We gut six more minutes to play.
-You okay?
-Yeah. Im just really exhausted.
Here.
-What's that?
-Zoneral.
It's basically speed for kids with ADD.
I've been on it since I was, like, 15.
No. No. No, thanks.
Nancy, look, youre running on fumes. Here, okay? Are you sure? Its--
Yeah, I'm fine for now.
I didn't take you for the religious type.
Yeah, well, you gotta believe
in something, you know?
Whats this one doing here?
It's The Pied Piper of Hamelin.
I saw it in one of my dreams. Its about
a guy whos betrayed by a town...
...and he gets his revenge
by taking all their children.
I keep dreaming about children too.
And then there's also a school.
Well, its gotta mean something.
Yeah, but, I mean, what? We didnt go to
school together until, like, 6th grade.
-Look, we're running cut cf time.
-What do you mean?
Nightmares are triggered by the belief
that the dreamer has no control...
...and this can cause insomnia.
But then it says at the 70-hour mark...
...the insomniac will begin
to experience micronaps.
"His brain will shut down its functions
for seconds in an attempt to recharge."
This basically means that you're dreaming,
but you don't know it.
Like, even if you're awake.
And then it says that after that,
your brain will shut down, inducing a coma.
Which is permanent sleep.
Nancy?
Nancy?
Nancy.
Yeah?
Hey.
Hey.
Where have you been?
I was at the bookstore.
Okay, well,
I didn't know where you were.
And I just feel like, with everything
that's been happening with your friends--
Hey, Mum?
Do I have some sort cf connection
with Kris...
...and Dean and Jesse?
Or Quentin?
Like, maybe we went to school together
when we were little or something like that?
Not that I can recall.
Did we ever know a guy named Freddy?
I don't think so.
Okay.
Good night.
Good night.
Hey, it's Gwen.
Nancy's starting to remember.
Honey, you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, Mum.
-All right. I'm going to bed.
-Okay.
Little Nancy.
All grown up.
You're just a nightmare.
That's right.
No one can prove I was ever here.
Who are you?
You don't remember?
You must.
Youre my number one.
You're my...
...little Nancy.
I set an alarm.
Yes, you did.
In your dream.
You smell different.
Quentin?
Nancy, he gut to him. Jesse's dead.
He died in his sleep.
I saw him.
-l fell asleep. I saw Freddy.
-All right, Im coming over.
Okay.
Shit.
So Bad hams a preschool.
Its on the other end of to It was closed years ago.
Can't find any pictures.
Wait, come here.
I drew this after my dream.
I don't know. I've never seen it before.
How is the guy in our dreams
connected to the school?
I don't know.
But I know my mom's hiding something.
There's nothing here.
Help me.
What is that?
We're all here.
Kris, Jesse, Dean.
It's me, it's you, it's--
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Nancy, what is going on?
-Give me the picture.
-I don't understand.
You said that....
You said that we didnt know each other.
But we're all in this picture.
We went to school together.
Give me the picture.
-Its okay.
-Why would you lie to me?
-I didn't lie.
-It's right here. Why would you lie to me?
-Stop lying. You're lying to me.
-I'm not lying to you.
-Stop lying to me!
-I am not lying to you!
I didn't want you to have to go
through your life with this memory!
I didnt want you to remember.
I wanted you to forget!
Remember what?
What happened at that preschool?
Smile, everybody.
You guys look great.
There was a man at the preschool.
His name was Fred Krueger.
One, two
Freddy's coming for you
Three, four
Better lock your door
He was a gardener.
He lived in the basement
of the preschool...
...and you kids were his life.
Four...
...three...
...two...
...one.
We didn't wanna believe it at first.
FREDDY Ready or not...
You all were so innocent.
...
here I come.
And you, Nancy...
What are you drawing? That is so good.
...you were his favorite of all.
You know what?
I got some other drawings.
And they're, like, really bad drawings.
Maybe you can help me fix them?
And then we started to notice things.
Yeah. Uh, he has been acting
a little strange lately.
He takes us to the secret cave.
Its okay. Its all rig ht.
So, what did you do? Did you call the police?
He left town before we ever
were able to confront him.
He's gone. He can't hurt you anymore.
Sc these dreams that you're having...
...they're repressed memories...
...from a terrible, terrible time.
I hope that youre rig ht.
We have to find the other kids
in the picture.
-What are you talking about? No.
-It doesnt make any sense.
-There's gotta be more to it. It's not--
-This makes total sense.
You heard your mum.
These are just memories.
-What if shes wrong?
-Were experiencing them...
-...living them, but they're just memories.
-How do you know that?
Memories don't kill you.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa! Quentin, get in the car.
-It's my dad. I gotta go.
-We have to do something.
-Look, stop.
This is crazy. Listen to yourself.
I'm sorry.
I want you to do 400 warm-up.
Then do a 200-back-breast drill swim.
Quentin, I need you to focus.
I need you to wake up, get into this.
Let's go. All right, guys.
Step up. Let's go. On the blocks.
Take your mark.
Make sure you're working
your underwaters...
...hit the turns, in and out really quick.
Powerful dolphins off the wall.

- Norm, make sure...
-...- he can't get cut the back!
- Okay.
Stop!
Stop. Okay.
Okay. Okay.
What are you doing? No, no, no.
This isnt the right way.
-We gotta call the police.
-What is the right way?
Our kids get on a stand,
tell a room cf people what happened?
-No, we've gut to call the police.
-He's right.
-- This is not the way to do this.
- This ends tonight.
Okay. Okay.
This is for my son!
Come cut, Krueger!
No!
Are you okay?
Go get the nurse.
Breathe, breathe.
Come on. Come on, breathe.
-- Relax and breathe. Come on. Come on.
- Im okay.
I had another nightmare last night.
That burned man with the striped sweater,
he keeps trying to kill me.
I ran a different way this time.
I ended up in front of a preschool.
I woke up before I had a chance to explore,
but it has to mean something.
He chased me
into the preschool this time.
I got away,
made it down to the basement.
But it feels like that's
where he wants me to go. Like...
...he needs me to find something.
I'm starting to dream
with my eyes open.
I can't tell what's real anymore.
I haven't slept in three days.
If I sleep, I dream.
If I dream, I'm dead.
Is there anybody else out there
that this is happening to?
Can somebody help me?
Please?
They're all dead.
I know what happened to Freddy.
You killed Krueger.
-Where'd you hear that name?
-You chased him...
...cornered him and burned him
to death. You hunted him!
We did not hunt him.
We were protecting you.
-From what?
-From him. From what he did to you.
-From what you kids told us he did to you.
-We were 5. We would've said anything!
-Why didnt you go to the police?
-You were so young.
No. God!
And the things we said he did....
The cave. Did you ever find it?
No.
How do you know he was guilty?
-Oh, my God.
-You killed an innocent man.
Mm-mm.
There's not a day that goes by that
I don't think about that night, Quentin.
Good, you deserve at least that.
Quentin. When you grow up
and you have kids...
...I hope you never know the feeling
cf utterly failing to protect them.
-Dont tow -Son-- Dont t
You listen to me.
As far as everyone around here
is concerned, Fred Krueger never existed.
Quentin.
Quentin, wait. Wait.
-What?
-Slow down.
-Stop.
-We gut him killed.
Our stories, our lies.
-What if we can make him stop?
-What if we can?
The preschool. Marcus said that
Freddy wanted him to find something.
Fine.
Nancy.
Don't you wanna hang cut, Nancy?
What are you doing?
I just saw Kris in a body bag.
All right, youve been up for too long.
You're having micronaps. We gotta go.
Let's go find the preschool.
What are we doing here?
I need more pills.
Come on. Come on.
Hi. Um, I'm gonna need a, um,
refill on that, please.
On this, you're cut cf refills.
I'm gonna have to
call the doctor on this.
Look, I don't have time
to call a doctor. Look--
Oh, my God.
Look, I've been on this stuff
since I was 15.
Okay? It's totally fine.

You cant take that.
You have no idea what its gonna do.
You know what? That is kind of the least of my concerns right now. You want some?
No.
Whoa.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm good.
Let's go.
- How much further?
- - We're almost there.
Hey, will you talk to me?
I'm falling asleep.
Yeah. What do you wanna talk about?;0]
I don't know.
What's your favorite color?
Blue.
Look, if you really wanna talk,
how come over the last couple years...
...every time I've invited you cut,
you've just never shown up?
I don't know if you've noticed,
but I don't exactly fit in.
Okay, look,
if we survive the next 24 hours...
...then I'll take you cut on a real date.
Well, what if I say no?
Well, why don't you sleep on it?
You okay?
-I'm fine.
Come on.
I saw him. He was right there.
We gotta go. Come on.
This is it.
This is the school.
-- No!
- Heh-heh-heh.
Are you okay?
I don't know what's real anymore.
Come on.
Follow me.
Hey, give me your lighter.
All right, well, now that we're here,
now what?
Because I don't remember any cf this.
This must be his room.
Okay, he brought us here for a reason.
This is definitely his room.
Quentin.
-What?
-There's something back there.
I've been here before.
If you can keep a secret,
I'll take you to a special place.
What are those?
What are those pictures cf?
They're all cf you.
-Let me see.
-No.
No.
Oh, God.
No.
We were wrong.
He's not after us because we lied.
He's after us because we told the truth.
He brought us here so we would
remember what he did to us
God. Fuck!
Fuck.
What dues he want from us?
He's never gonna stop.
I know what we need to do.
Come on.
There's gotta be another way.
If we just sit here and do nothing,
we're gonna die.
-l should do this.
-Im the one who pulled his sweater out.
What if Im the only one who can bring him out?
Nancy, I can't let you go to sleep.
You're not gonna wake up.
I know you won't let that happen.
Wake me up if you see me struggle.
Gotta believe in something, rig ht?
I'm gonna be here when you get up.
We're gonna make it.
Aw, shit.
You can't save her.
Tag.
You're it.
Krueger!
Your girlfriend's here. I'll be right back.
One, two
Guess who's coming for you
Little Nancy.
Now that you caught me,
what game do you wanna play next?
-Fuck you.
-Ooh. Sounds like fun.
It's a little fast for me.
How about we hang first?
No. It's not real.
It's real.
I'm real.
Boo.
Now, how's this for a wet dream?
Quentin, wake me up.
This dress...
was always one of my favorites.
Do you remember it, Nancy?
Of course you do.
You remember everything now,
don't you?
Your memories are what fuels me.
No. Please don't.
Your mouth says no...
...but your body says yes.
Mmm.
Don't turn away.
Look at me!
Look what you did to me.
Now it's time to play.
Are you having fun?
Naughty girl.
You can't hurt me.
You're in my world.
And you can't ever leave.
Ohh....
That's music to my ears.
I wanna wake up!
You can't wake up.
I had to keep you awake long enough
so when you finally slept...
...you'd never wake up again.
Nancy, wake up.
Wake up, Nancy, wake up!
Were gonna be in here a long time.
-Nancy, please!
-Did you really think your boyfriend...
-...could wake you up?
-Please, don't do this!
Please!
I'm your boyfriend now.
Nancy, come back! Please, wake up!
You promised!
Sweet dreams.
Quentin, get him.
Die! Fucking bastard!
Nice try, Nancy.
Now let me take a stab.
Now, why don't you just fucking die?
It hurts, doesn't it?
That's because you're
in my world now, bitch.
Wait.
- Give me some slack.
- - Yeah, aim it up a little higher.
No sign of a body anywhere.
Hey, Quentin.
Nightmares over.
I want you to go
straight up to bed, okay?
Yeah.
Hey, Mum?
I know you were just trying
to protect me. Thank you.
I'm just glad you're safe.

-Actually, Im just here to meet Dean.
-Oh, hes right over there.
Thanks.
Hey.
Wow, you look like you haven't--
Like I haven't slept in three days?
Dean, what's going on?
Sc, what are we doing after this?
Let me see if we can go
to Ashleys or whatever.
Then I don't know.
Look cut, here comes your girlfriend.
-Oh, hey.
-Hi. Can I get you guys anything else?
Uh.... Um....
No, I think were good. Well just get the check.
Is that the only thing you wanna ask her, Quentin?
Asshole.
Hey.
Why is Kris with Dean?
Okay.
Come on.
That's fucked up.
What was that all about?
Um, Jesse's just--
He's pissed because Kris broke up with him.
-I didn't even know they were together.
-Yeah.
I guess I can keep the change?
Yeah. Look...
...I'm sorry about the mess.
-These guys are just--
-I'm used to it.
Sc you ever get tired
cf working here every weekend?
Do you ever get tired
cf coming here every weekend?
Quentin. You coming or no?
Sorry. Look, this should
take care cf the rest cf it.
-Sec-1 you around.
-Sec-1 you.
Listen, maybe you should
talk to somebody.
I did.
And he thinks all my problems
come from my past.
We began going through my childhood...
...and that's when they started.
When what started?
These nightmares.
Nightmares.
Sc, what, you can't sleep?
I can sleep.
I just don't want to.
Okay, Dean, listen to me.
They're just dreams.
Okay? They're not real.
These dreams...
...they're real.
They're nut.
They're re-- I'm sorry, Kris.
No, its
Kris,
No, no. Its fine.
Im gonna go clean myself off.
Its okay. Its okay.
You're not real.
You're not real. You're not real!
I am now.
Dean, what are you doing?
You're not real.
-Dean, stop it. Dean.
Dean, stop it!
Dean!
Dean!
Tragedy can shake us at our core...
...and it can also unite us
in our shared grief.
Today we are gathered and united...
...for the tragic loss of a young m I with so much life ahead of him.
Let us pray.
Lord, you who can
turn the shadow cf death...
...into the light cf a new day...
...as we gather to commend Dean
into your hands...
...help us to wait upon thee
with penitent hearts...
...and remind us cf he who died
that we might live.
--and the power and the glory
- forever and ever. Amen.
Amen.
-Come on, sweetie. Its over.
Yeah.
Let's go say hi.
-Gwen. Hi, h
-Its been a long time.
-Yeah, yeah.
-- Especially under these circumstances.
- Yeah, not a....
You know, Nance,
if you need someone to talk to....
Im okay.
Thank you.
We're setting up a crisis center
at the school.
-- You know where my office is, right, Nancy?
- Yeah.
We're gonna head cut. Take care.
-Good to see you.
Bye-bye, Quentin.
You knew Dean that far back?
Jesus, that is me.
But I don't know how I'm in that picture.
I didn't meet Dean until high school.
Come on.
-Dean said something right before he died.
-Oh, please don't.
He said, "You're not real."
He kept repeating it over and over again.
Do you have any idea what that means?
No. I don't.
Think about it. What would it mean? Dean was on a load of medication when--
Jesse.
When it happened, it was like
somebody was making him do it...
...but there was nobody there.
Jesse, you have to believe me.
Kris, it was late and you were scared.
Your mind was just playing tricks on you...
-...that's all.
-I believe you.
You do?
I've seen....
-I saw--
-You didn't see anything.
You weren't right there. Kris was.
Shes already fucked up, I so leave her alone.
You have no idea what Ive seen.I
Lets go home.
-Hi.
-Hi.
Hey, Mom, where are all the photos of me
from when I was younger?
-They're not here.
-Oh, well, who knows?
Theyre probably packed away
over the garage. Why?
Because today at the funeral I, um....
I saw a photo cf Dean and I
when we were, like, 5.
But, you know, it's funny, I don't remember
knowing Dean before high school.
Who can remember being 5 years old?
Hey, why don't you pack those up?
Dinner's almost ready.
Good night, honey.
Remember me?
Kris? You okay?
What is that?
Uh, nothing.
Just, like, a sketch.
Are you okay?
-Yeah, Im okay.
-Yeah?
Are you okay?
Yeah, you know.
You know, like, if you ever need somebody,
if you ever wanna talk to somebody, I--
I'm sure you have like a thousand
other people you could talk to...
...but if you wanna talk to somebody....
Thanks.
Quentin. You're gonna be late to class.
Come on, buddy, let's go.
-My dad.
-I know.
Now, class, it was Pericles
who told the Athenian people...
...they should all gather
into the gates cf the city...
while his naval fleet picked off the Spartans by sea.
Now, it was to be a slow
but sure victory.
The Spartans would never make it over the walls of the acropolis, Pericles said.
But what he didnt take into account is that the plague would eventually strike.
Open your bucks to page 84.
To further complicate matters...
...the Spartans were armed
with a variety cf weapons...
...some cf them even improvised.
And they would not hesitate to slaughter
every Athenian they saw...
...even
children.
Especially the children cf soldiers.
This is where the....
Wake up.
Wake up, wake up, wake up.
You really shouldn't fall asleep in class.
Hi, Kris.
-Who are you?
You look just as beautiful...
...as ever.
You have nothing to worry about.
This won't hurt...
. . . 0 Fl e. . .
...little...
...bit.
Are you okay, Miss Fowles?
What happened?
I'm sorry.
What?
Kris!
Rufus.
Rufus, what are you doing?
Huh? What are you doing cut here?
Come on.
Rufus.
Come on.
Hey.
I have to fly to London
on a red eye tonight.
Okay.
You gonna be okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm gonna be all right. Have a safe flight.
I just worry about you.
-Try and get some sleep.
-Okay.
I'll call you when I land.
I love you.
Love you.
Jesus, Jesse.
-What the hell are you doing here?
-Are you gonna let me in?
Yeah, come in.
All right, I know I've been an asshole...
...and I've been jealous
and I've been fucked up.
But Dean was my friend too.
Will you please tell me
what's been going on?
I'm having these dreams.
And I'm scared.
I think Dean was having them too.
Kris, listen, we've all--
I know what you're gonna say.
But now every time I dream...
...I always see this man.
And he's....
He's burned...
...and melted.
And he's always trying to...
-...attack me with these knives--
-Knives on his fingers.
What?
Oh, my God.
We're having the same dream.
-Kris, it's not possible.
-It is possible.
-It's just a dream, all right?
-It's not a dream.
Shh. Shh.
Shh. Shh.
Oh, God.
Im so afraid.
All I wanna do is go to sleep,
but if I do he's gonna kill me like Dean.
Maybe we should just
stop talking about it, all right?
We keep talking about it, we'll keep thinking
about it, then we'll keep dreaming about it.
Look at me.
You'll stay with me?
Of course I'll stay with you.
Rufus!
Rufus, get in here!
Rufus!
Ugh. Shit.
Rufus.
Rufus?
Rufus, come here, buy!

-Thats his name and hes in all of our heads.
-No, thats impossible. No.
Nancy.
Shit. We gotta stop this.

If you die in your dreams,

Nancy? Who's in there?
Oh, shit.
Police. Don't move!
Get down! Get down!
-- I didn't do anything.
- Down!
Listen to me, I didn't do anything. Please.

What's going on down there?

Folks posted your bail.
Jesse, help me.
Help me, please.
Kris?
-Oh, God.
-No.
Just me.
What do you want from me?
Hmm. I don't know, Jesse.
You think you can turn back time?
-Answer me!
-No.
Do you think you can
bring the dead back to life?
-No. No!
-No?
I didnt fucking think so.
No! No! No!
Why are you screaming?
I haven't even cut you yet.
I didn't do it! I'm innocent
Get me cut cf here!
Let me the fuck cut cf here!
Did you know
that after the heart stops beating...
the brain keeps functioning for well over seven minutes?
We gut six more minutes to play.
-You okay?
-Yeah. Im just really exhausted.
Here.
-What's that?
-Zoneral.
It's basically speed for kids with ADD.
I've been on it since I was, like, 15.
No. No. No, thanks.
Nancy, look, youre running on fumes. Here, okay? Are you sure? Its--
Yeah, I'm fine for now.
I didn't take you for the religious type.
Yeah, well, you gotta believe
in something, you know?
Whats this one doing here?
It's The Pied Piper of Hamelin.
I saw it in one of my dreams. Its about
a guy whos betrayed by a town...
...and he gets his revenge
by taking all their children.
I keep dreaming about children too.
And then there's also a school.
Well, its gotta mean something.
Yeah, but, I mean, what? We didnt go to
school together until, like, 6th grade.
-Look, we're running cut cf time.
-What do you mean?
Nightmares are triggered by the belief
that the dreamer has no control...
...and this can cause insomnia.
But then it says at the 70-hour mark...
...the insomniac will begin
to experience micronaps.
"His brain will shut down its functions
for seconds in an attempt to recharge."
This basically means that you're dreaming,
but you don't know it.
Like, even if you're awake.
And then it says that after that,
your brain will shut down, inducing a coma.
Which is permanent sleep.
Nancy?
Nancy?
Nancy.
Yeah?
Hey.
Hey.
Where have you been?
I was at the bookstore.
Okay, well,
I didn't know where you were.
And I just feel like, with everything
that's been happening with your friends--
Hey, Mum?
Do I have some sort cf connection
with Kris...
...and Dean and Jesse?
Or Quentin?
Like, maybe we went to school together
when we were little or something like that?
Not that I can recall.
Did we ever know a guy named Freddy?
I don't think so.
Okay.
Good night.
Good night.
Hey, it's Gwen.
Nancy's starting to remember.
Honey, you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine, Mum.
-All right. I'm going to bed.
-Okay.
Little Nancy.
All grown up.
You're just a nightmare.
That's right.
No one can prove I was ever here.
Who are you?
You don't remember?
You must.
Youre my number one.
You're my...
...little Nancy.
I set an alarm.
Yes, you did.
In your dream.
You smell different.
Quentin?
Nancy, he gut to him. Jesse's dead.
He died in his sleep.
I saw him.
-l fell asleep. I saw Freddy.
-All right, Im coming over.
Okay.
Shit.
So Bad hams a preschool.
Its on the other end of to It was closed years ago.
Can't find any pictures.
Wait, come here.
I drew this after my dream.
I don't know. I've never seen it before.
How is the guy in our dreams
connected to the school?
I don't know.
But I know my mom's hiding something.
There's nothing here.
Help me.
What is that?
We're all here.
Kris, Jesse, Dean.
It's me, it's you, it's--
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
Nancy, what is going on?
-Give me the picture.
-I don't understand.
You said that....
You said that we didnt know each other.
But we're all in this picture.
We went to school together.
Give me the picture.
-Its okay.
-Why would you lie to me?
-I didn't lie.
-It's right here. Why would you lie to me?
-Stop lying. You're lying to me.
-I'm not lying to you.
-Stop lying to me!
-I am not lying to you!
I didn't want you to have to go
through your life with this memory!
I didnt want you to remember.
I wanted you to forget!
Remember what?
What happened at that preschool?
Smile, everybody.
You guys look great.
There was a man at the preschool.
His name was Fred Krueger.
One, two
Freddy's coming for you
Three, four
Better lock your door
He was a gardener.
He lived in the basement
of the preschool...
...and you kids were his life.
Four...
...three...
...two...
...one.
We didn't wanna believe it at first.
FREDDY Ready or not...
You all were so innocent.
...
here I come.
And you, Nancy...
What are you drawing? That is so good.
...you were his favorite of all.
You know what?
I got some other drawings.
And they're, like, really bad drawings.
Maybe you can help me fix them?
And then we started to notice things.
Yeah. Uh, he has been acting
a little strange lately.
He takes us to the secret cave.
Its okay. Its all rig ht.
So, what did you do? Did you call the police?
He left town before we ever
were able to confront him.
He's gone. He can't hurt you anymore.
Sc these dreams that you're having...
...they're repressed memories...
...from a terrible, terrible time.
I hope that youre rig ht.
We have to find the other kids
in the picture.
-What are you talking about? No.
-It doesnt make any sense.
-There's gotta be more to it. It's not--
-This makes total sense.
You heard your mum.
These are just memories.
-What if shes wrong?
-Were experiencing them...
-...living them, but they're just memories.
-How do you know that?
Memories don't kill you.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa! Quentin, get in the car.
-It's my dad. I gotta go.
-We have to do something.
-Look, stop.
This is crazy. Listen to yourself.
I'm sorry.
I want you to do 400 warm-up.
Then do a 200-back-breast drill swim.
Quentin, I need you to focus.
I need you to wake up, get into this.
Let's go. All right, guys.
Step up. Let's go. On the blocks.
Take your mark.
Make sure you're working
your underwaters...
...hit the turns, in and out really quick.
Powerful dolphins off the wall.

- Okay.
Stop!
Stop. Okay.
Okay. Okay.
What are you doing? No, no, no.
This isnt the right way.
-We gotta call the police.
-What is the right way?
Our kids get on a stand,

-No, we've gut to call the police.
-He's right.
-- This is not the way to do this.
- This ends tonight.
Okay. Okay.
This is for my son!
Come cut, Krueger!
No!
Are you okay?
Go get the nurse.
Breathe, breathe.
Come on. Come on, breathe.
-- Relax and breathe. Come on. Come on.
- Im okay.
I had another nightmare last night.
That burned man with the striped sweater,
he keeps trying to kill me.
I ran a different way this time.
I ended up in front of a preschool.
I woke up before I had a chance to explore,
but it has to mean something.
He chased me
into the preschool this time.
I got away,
made it down to the basement.
But it feels like that's
where he wants me to go. Like...
...he needs me to find something.
I'm starting to dream
with my eyes open.
I can't tell what's real anymore.
I haven't slept in three days.
If I sleep, I dream.
If I dream, I'm dead.
Is there anybody else out there
that this is happening to?
Can somebody help me?
Please?
They're all dead.
I know what happened to Freddy.
You killed Krueger.
-Where'd you hear that name?
-You chased him...
...cornered him and burned him
to death. You hunted him!
We did not hunt him.
We were protecting you.
-From what?
-From him. From what he did to you.
-From what you kids told us he did to you.
-We were 5. We would've said anything!
-Why didnt you go to the police?
-You were so young.
No. God!
And the things we said he did....
The cave. Did you ever find it?
No.
How do you know he was guilty?
-Oh, my God.
-You killed an innocent man.
Mm-mm.
There's not a day that goes by that
I don't think about that night, Quentin.
Good, you deserve at least that.
Quentin. When you grow up
and you have kids...
...I hope you never know the feeling
cf utterly failing to protect them.
-Dont tow -Son-- Dont t
You listen to me.
As far as everyone around here
is concerned, Fred Krueger never existed.
Quentin.
Quentin, wait. Wait.
-What?
-Slow down.
-Stop.
-We gut him killed.
Our stories, our lies.
-What if we can make him stop?
-What if we can?
The preschool. Marcus said that
Freddy wanted him to find something.
Fine.
Nancy.
Don't you wanna hang cut, Nancy?
What are you doing?
I just saw Kris in a body bag.
All right, youve been up for too long.
You're having micronaps. We gotta go.
Let's go find the preschool.
What are we doing here?
I need more pills.
Come on. Come on.
Hi. Um, I'm gonna need a, um,
refill on that, please.
On this, you're cut cf refills.
I'm gonna have to
call the doctor on this.
Look, I don't have time
to call a doctor. Look--
Oh, my God.
Look, I've been on this stuff

Okay? It's totally fine.

You cant take that.
You have no idea what its gonna do.
You know what? That is kind of the least of my concerns right now. You want some?
No.
Whoa.
Are you okay?
Yeah. I'm good.
Let's go.
- How much further?
- - We're almost there.
Hey, will you talk to me?
I'm falling asleep.
Yeah. What do you wanna talk about?;0]
I don't know.
What's your favorite color?
Blue.
Look, if you really wanna talk,
how come over the last couple years...
...every time I've invited you cut,
you've just never shown up?
I don't know if you've noticed,
but I don't exactly fit in.
Okay, look,
if we survive the next 24 hours...
...then I'll take you cut on a real date.
Well, what if I say no?
Well, why don't you sleep on it?
You okay?
-I'm fine.
Come on.
I saw him. He was right there.
We gotta go. Come on.
This is it.

I don't know what's real anymore.
Come on.
Follow me.
Hey, give me your lighter.
All right, well, now that we're here,

Because I don't remember any cf this.
This must be his room.
Okay, he brought us here for a reason.
This is definitely his room.
Quentin.

-There's something back there.
I've been here before.
If you can keep a secret,
I'll take you to a special place.
What are those?
What are those pictures cf?
They're all cf you.
-Let me see.
-No.
No.
Oh, God.
No.

He's not after us because we lied.
He's after us because we told the truth.
He brought us here so we would
remember what he did to us
God. Fuck!
Fuck.
What dues he want from us?
He's never gonna stop.
I know what we need to do.
Come on.
There's gotta be another way.
If we just sit here and do nothing,
we're gonna die.
-l should do this.
-Im the one who pulled his sweater out.
What if Im the only one who can bring him out?
Nancy, I can't let you go to sleep.
You're not gonna wake up.
I know you won't let that happen.
Wake me up if you see me struggle.
Gotta believe in something, rig ht?
I'm gonna be here when you get up.
We're gonna make it.
Aw, shit.
You can't save her.

Guess who's coming for you
Little Nancy.
Now that you caught me,
what game do you wanna play next?
-Fuck you.
-Ooh. Sounds like fun.
It's a little fast for me.
How about we hang first?
No. It's not real.
It's real.
I'm real.
Boo.
Now, how's this for a wet dream?
Quentin, wake me up.
This dress...
was always one of my favorites.
Do you remember it, Nancy?
Of course you do.
You remember everything now,
don't you?
Your memories are what fuels me.
No. Please don't.
Your mouth says no...
...but your body says yes.
Mmm.
Don't turn away.
Look at me!
Look what you did to me.
Now it's time to play.
Are you having fun?
Naughty girl.
You can't hurt me.
You're in my world.
And you can't ever leave.
Ohh....
That's music to my ears.
I wanna wake up!
You can't wake up.
I had to keep you awake long enough
so when you finally slept...
...you'd never wake up again.
Nancy, wake up.
Wake up, Nancy, wake up!
Were gonna be in here a long time.
-Nancy, please!
-Did you really think your boyfriend...
-...could wake you up?
-Please, don't do this!
Please!
I'm your boyfriend now.
Nancy, come back! Please, wake up!
You promised!
Sweet dreams.
Quentin, get him.
Die! Fucking bastard!
Nice try, Nancy.
Now let me take a stab.
Now, why don't you just fucking die?
It hurts, doesn't it?
That's because you're
in my world now, bitch.
Wait.
- Give me some slack.
- - Yeah, aim it up a little higher.
No sign of a body anywhere.
Hey, Quentin.
Nightmares over.
I want you to go
straight up to bed, okay?
Yeah.
Hey, Mum?
I know you were just trying
to protect me. Thank you.
I'm just glad you're safe.
