(Jeff) Well?
Picture this. Gus comes down to breakfast, and he doesn't say a word.
He even kinda smiles, like he forgot he hates me. And you know what he does?
He serves me an extra helping of pancakes.
I asked him if I was still grounded. "No. "
I asked him if you could stay over tonight. And... and he nods.
It's like we're a family.
A real family.
(answering machine rewinds)
Chase, this is Elliot Rudman.
I've looked over the blood specimen you sent me on Zowie.
Could you give me a call?
- Are you open? - Yeah. Yeah, come on in.
Do you have any kitties left?
Uh, yeah, you can take your pick. They're back in the boarding area.
- You can go on back, through there. - OK. You ready? Let's go.
- Hello? - Rudman, it's Matthews.
(loud buzzing)
Matthews, was it your idea of a joke to send me blood from a dead animal?
I didn't get that.
I said, next time it might be a good idea
if you take a blood sample while the animal is still alive.
- Just give me the lymphocyte count. - It's normal.
There's nothing to indicate that the animal died from an immune deficiency.
Died? There's some kind of mix-up here. This dog is alive.
Not this dog. The cells are completely deteriorated.
- You took over for Yolander, right? - Yeah, why?
Cos the last person that sent me blood from a dead animal was Yolander.
This is not blood from a dead animal, Rudman.
- Oh, my God. - What happened?
- Jesus!
Oh, no.
Hey!
How's it goin', losers?
(Chase) Jeff! Drew!
- (Clyde) Saved by the bell. - (Doug) Dad has to bail him out.
Can I spend the night at Drew's house tonight?
Yeah. Yeah, that's fine.
Listen, guys, I got the tests back on Zowie, and he's not well.
Don't ask me how, but he's gotten out.
So if he finds his way home, I want you to call me. Whatever hour, OK?
- Sure, Dad. - Yeah.
OK. See ya.
You would be so much more interesting with...
blue eyes.
(knock at door)
- State your business. - Dr Yolander, I'm Chase Matthews.
I just took over your offices in Ludlow.
I sent out a blood sample for analysis
and they told me that the blood was from a dead animal.
You might as well come in.
Why are you bothering me with this? Can't you just let it be?
The pathologist, he said that you had a similar incident with a... with a cat.
Creed cat, that's right.
Bastard's name was...
Church.
Let me guess.
Your dog's tissue isn't healing, uh, pupils aren't dilating.
Maybe you can't find a heartbeat.
E- Exactly. I thought it was some kind of blood condition, but I...
There's no blood condition.
The dog isn't sick.
It's dead.
And so was Creed's cat.
And so was his wife...
on the night she was killed for the second time.
Now, you want some advice, my friend?
You get in your car and you get the hell out of that town!
(squawks)

Don't lie to me. I'm gonna give you one more chance.

(# "Love Never Dies" by Traci Lords)
I can come back, Chase.
Do you think everybody that came back would be like your stepdad?
I don't know.
Maybe it depends on what you were like.
Before you died.
See you at school Monday?
- Yeah, sure. - Hey, Jeff.
Do you ever think about running away?
All the time.
See ya, man.
Shit!
Well, well!
Look who's here!
Have fun, junior. Here we go!
Guess your dad's not here to save you now, is he?
- I'm not afraid of you. - Yeah?
You ever see a tyre take off a nose before?
Neither have I. Might even kill ya.
The wheel might chew right into your brain. You could visit your mom.
Jesus Christ, Gus!
Go home.
I said go home!
I was just fuckin' with him.
I mean, what are you gonna do, give me a ticket? I mean, shit, Gus. Come on.
You can't lay a finger on me.
(motorcycle revs)
- What are you doin', man?! - I'm just fuckin' with ya!
Stop it, man!
Whoo-hoo!
Stop it!
(screams)
Whoops.
(megaphone) This is the police. Come out with your hands up.
(growling)
No, Zowie. It's me!
Stay back.
Forget somethin', Drew, buddy?
Drew, buddy!
(snarls)
You have the right to remain silent while I smash your head in.
You have the right to an attorney, but you won't need one cos you'll be dead!
No, Zowie, it's me! No! Zowie! Get back!
Zowie!
Oh, God!
(Gus grunts)
(Gus laughs)
You understand these rights, Drew, buddy?!
Or are you just too fucking stupid?!
Mom!
Gus killed Clyde, Mom! He's trying to kill me!
- What are you talking about? - Let's go!
Oh, shit!
Drew, Daddy's not done!
- Mom! - What are you saying?! What?!
(Amanda screams)
- (Drew) Gus is dead! - (Amanda) What are you talking about?

Oh, no!
# I wanna die come see paradise
# I wanna die just like Jesus Christ
Mom, look!
- God, what does he want? - He wants to kill us!
What do you want?!
Oh! Gus! Stop it!
# I wanna die just like JFK
# I wanna die in the USA
Drew, what is he doing?
# I wanna die
Bye, Drew, buddy!
# I wanna die
Shit!
I'm takin' you up the hill, Clyde, buddy. That's the way the Indians did it.

(TV) In local news, tragedy has struck the town of Ludlow.
Neighbours paid their respects to Drew and Amanda Gilbert,
who died in a head-on collision on Saturday.
They are survived by Gus Gilbert, who is Sheriff of Kennebago County.
Those poor people. Did you see Gus at the funeral?
Yeah.
I feel so bad for Jeff.
How's he taking it?
I haven't talked to him.
He's been up in the attic all afternoon.
(TV) The disappearance of a Ludlow youth remains a mystery.
Clyde Parker was last seen on Saturday afternoon.
His motorcycle was found off Highway 62.
Hey. What are you doin'?
Getting things ready for Mom.
Mom is dead, Jeff.
You know that.
She doesn't have to be.
What are you talkin' about?
I can bring her back, the same way me and Drew brought Zowie back.
What you're sayin' is crazy, Jeff.
- Zowie didn't die! - He did. We buried him.
There's a place in the woods. If you bury something there, it comes back.
- Come on! - We did it on Gus!
- Don't you lie to me! - Fine! Don't believe me!
(Marjorie) Chase, you have a phone call. It's the caretaker at the cemetery.
- I'll call back. - He says it's an emergency.
Something about your wife's grave.
We're not finished.
What?!
No, no, no. I'll be right there.
- What happened? - I don't know.
Can you stay here with Jeff while I take care of this?
Don't let him leave this house!
OK.
I'm sorry to disturb you, Dr Matthews, but I thought you might wanna
come over and have a look for yourself. It's the damnedest thing.
- Gus did this? - Yes, he stuck around after the funeral,
told me that he had an order to exhume your wife.
Now, I didn't think much about it until I saw him drag the body out of the coffin.
He put your wife in his pick-up,
and then he drove off right through Amanda and Drew's headstones.
It's the weirdest thing that's happened since Louis Creed dug up his boy.
You bury your own.
(gunshot)
Jeff?
Are you OK?
I hate that dog.

I'm sorry, you have reached a number that has been disconnected

What are you doing, Gus?
Well, I was buildin' a doggy door.
What's goin' on around here, Gus?
Why did you dig up my wife?
Cos I wanted to fuck her.
Ow!
Oh, I hate it when that happens.
No!
Got a permit for this?
I didn't think so.
Let me know if this hurts.
Aagghh!
No brain, no pain. Think about it.
Remember, Chase, I had Renee first.
(click)
(three gunshots)
(woman) Marjorie.
Jeff?
Did you really think you could be like me?
(Marjorie shrieks)
(Marjorie screams)
Mom.
I came back for you, Jeff.
We're going to be together again.
We can try again, Chase.
Oh, my God.
We can make it work this time.
No.
Don't you love me any more, Chase?
You're not Renee.
Renee's dead.
Get away from her, Jeff.
Get away.
Jeff, honey, why don't you go downstairs?
Your father and I need to talk.
Jeff.
I love you.
I love you more.
- Hey, junior. - Shit.
Wanna play?
(Clyde) Uh-oh.
Looks like Daddy got a boo-boo.
Now, where were we?
Here it comes, buddy! Here it fucking comes!
You're gonna die, junior! You're gonna die!
Eat this, asshole!
- Come on, Dad. - Get out.
I'm gonna get you outta here, Dad.
Come here!
(Renee) Oh.
I'm melting.
Jeff, honey... what are you doing?
No!
You're not gonna leave me, Jeff!
Your father and I are trying to work things out!
Jeff...
I don't wanna be alone!
Jeff!
Come back! Jeff!
I love you.
She's not your mom! Jeff, she's not your mom! Let's go!
Stay with me!
Dead is better!
Stay with me!
You all set?
Let's go.
(Drew) I never had anyone die before.
But I guess you get over it.
I mean, eventually.
(Jeff) You never get over it.
