Hanbange 3.0 - (C) Breadu Soft 2008

제가 대학 다닐 때 한 에세이를 읽었습니다

누구나 진정으로 자유로울 수 있는 유일한 곳은

꿈 속이라는 내용이었죠

 

일상 생활의 족쇄를 벗어 던질 수 있고

 

원하는 곳이라면 어디든 갈 수 있으며

 

되고 싶은 그 무엇으로 변신할 수 있습니다

 

전 이러한 것이 거짓이라고 말하려는 게 아니에요

제가 얼마나 잘났다고 대학 교과서를 부정하겠어요?

 

그러나 그 어떤 학생이라도 이렇게 말합니다

꿈 속에서도 단 한 가지 할 수 없다는 것이 있다고요

죽는 것입니다

 

학교를 다니는 모든 학생들이 말하길

꿈에서 죽으면 현실에서도 죽는 답니다

나이를 먹으면서 이런 생각을 비웃지만

가끔 전 의문이 듭니다

저 아이들이 틀리다고 절대적으로 확신할 수 있을까요?

제 말은

꿈이 당신을 죽인다면

정말 죽였다고 말할 수 없잖아요

사람들은 심장마비로 죽었다,

대부분은 자다가 죽었다고 말하겠죠

정말로 무슨 일이 있었는지 아무도 모를 거에요

실제로 목숨을 앗아간 것은

당신이 꾼 최악의 악몽이었다는 것을요

 

왜 그래?

당신 괜찮아?

사실 난 죽었어

 

좀 더 자

괜찮아질 거야

SNFL 701호 726호 will last forever!!

그들은 널 잡으러 올거야, 바버라

그만해! 아는 것도 없으면서

잡으러 온다니까, 바버라

 

봐! 그 중 한 명이 오고 있잖아

끝내준다

그들은 정말로 오고 있었어

 

어디로 가는 거야?

무서운 건 아니겠지?

뭘 보고 있는 거니?

일요일 아침에 보기엔 꽤나 무서운 거 같은데

나인 일레븐 데스라는 무슨 옛날 영화에요

할로윈 동안 연속 방영하는 좀비 영화 중 하나에요

브리짓!

너 죽여버릴 거야!

엄마!

빨리 와서 이거 좀 치워 줘!

브리짓, 농담 아니야

이거 변기통에 넣고 물내리기 전에 당장 튀어 와

'이거'는 얘 이름이 아니야

'스칼렛 양'라고

네가 그 멍청한 애완동물에 그 멍청한 별명을 붙이든 내 알 바 아니야

갖고 나가 당장!

브리짓, 스칼렛 양은 네 방에 두기로 했잖니

알아요 근데 콜래도 선생님이 타란툴라들은

인간적인 환경에서 더 잘 산다고 했단 말예요

화장실이나 지하실 같은 곳이요

그러니까 난 스칼렛 양을 여기서 키울래요

인간? 변기통 바닥은 어때?

애리얼, 진정해

브리짓, 넌 방에 스칼렛 도로 갖다 놔

네가 목욕할 때마다 데려오면 되잖아

스캔런이야

오늘 일요일인 거 알고 있긴 하지?

안녕하세요 무슨 일이에요?

주말인 건 알고 있지만

혹시 와서 도와줄 수 있나 해서요

상황이 좀 복잡해요

어떤 상황인데요?

그래요 나 열 받았어요

사람한테 무슨 일이 생겼는데

당신네들은 코방귀도 안 뀌잖아요!

이 사람은 이 일에 종사하는 동안은

경찰과 소방관한테 할인까지 해 주신 분이에요

유가족들이 돈이 없다는 걸 알고

공짜로 장례까지 해 줬다고요

근데 정작 도움이 필요하니까

실종신고하기엔 너무 이르단 말밖에 안 합디다

신고 전화를 받은 사람이 자기 부서와 당신의 아버지와는

별 관계가 없다고 판단했나 봅니다

그래서 지금 저희가 여기 와서

이 일을 심각하게 여기고 있는 겁니다

아버지를 찾기 위해 가능한 모든 조치를 취하겠습니다

말 없이 집 말고 다른 곳에서 묵는다거나

잠시 쉰다거나 할 가능성은 없습니까?

여태 내가 한 말 귀담아 듣기나 했어요?

쉬러 간 게 아니에요

아버진 쉬지 않아요

쉬는 건 우리 아버지 DNA에 있지도 않아요

아버진 일하려고 사는 사람이에요

끝(더 이상 말할 필요 없음)

아버진 여길 40년이나 운영했어요

내가 알기론 아버지가 유일하게 쉬었던 때는

내가 태어난 날 아침뿐이에요

그것도 엄마가 쉬지 않으면 죽여버리겠다고 협박했기 때문에요

알았습니다, 그렇다면...

주변에 원수나

해치려고 할 사람이 있습니까?

10-12년 전이라면

없다고 말하겠죠

아버진 항상 사랑으로 가득찬 분이셨어요

상공 회의소 회장을 세 번이나 지내셨고

적극적으로 후원도 했고

이 동네를 끔찍이도 아꼈어요

그래서 동네가 변질되는 걸 보시곤 그렇게 화를 내신 것 같아요

마약, 범죄

거래상

갱단

아빠는 이 주위 상황에 관해서라면

의견 표명하는 데 절대로 꺼려하지 않으셨어요

그래서 적어도 한 번 이상은

마약 거래상들과 말다툼을 하셨어요

어쩌면

그들이 아버질 제거했을 수도 있어요

그럼 실례지만

오늘 아침에 치를 장례가 두 차례나 있으니 가 볼게요

죽은 이들은 기다리는 걸 싫어하니까요

저런

들어 봐

계획을 세웠어

내가 애리얼 칫솔에 스칼렛 양을 놓을 테니까

네가 그걸 사진 찍어

그러고 나서 애리얼이 양치질하고 나면

그 사진을 보여주는 거야

이 수컷 거미 자는 거 웃기다

잠깐, 첫째

이건 거미가 아니야 타란툴라야

둘째, 수컷이 아니라 암컷이야

그리고 셋째

타란툴라는 안 자

어쨌든 이건 자

뭐?

콜래도 선생님이 뭐래요?

화 났어요?

아냐 화 안 내셨어 아무도 화 안 내

그냥 전화가 늦어져서 오히려 미안해 하셨는 걸

그리고 너무 걱정하지 말래

스칼렛 양이 얼마나 오래 살았는지는 알 수 없다고

아마 수명이 다 했을 거라고

그러니까 네 잘못이 아니라고 하셨어

전 이만 자러 갈게요

같이 영화 다 보기로 했잖아

혼자 다 보세요

별로 내키지 않아요

 

콜래도 선생님이 저 간지나는 거미 시체를 어떻게 해야 되는지도 말했어?

내가 보기엔 스칼렛 양은 이제 물내릴 수 있어

바다에 매장이라 멋진데

거미집은 어쩔 거야?

필요없으니까 그냥 버리라던데

교실에도 이미 많대

죽은 타란툴라

육식 좀비

그리고 실종된 장의사

올해 할로윈은 그냥 할로윈이 아니군

 

이제 됐어, 바버라

교회는 오늘 아침 갔다 왔잖아

 

죄송하지만 저한테 말하는 건가요?

또 흑백으로 말하셨나요?

내 말은 기도는 교회에서 하라고

잠깐. 바버라라고 불렀어요?

내 이름은 앨리슨인데

 

그리고 왜 내 피부가 흑백으로 보이는지 모르겠네

 

우리가 어렸을 때 여기 온 거 기억나?

바로 저기였어

나무 뒤에 통에서 달려나왔더니

할아버지가 흥분해서 주먹을 흔들면서

'녀석아! 죽으려고 환장했냐?'

 

넌 여기 진짜 무서워 했었는데

이 곳 정말 소름 끼쳐요

아직도 무서워 하는구나

 

그들이 널 잡으러 올거야, 바버라

날 바버라라고 그만 불러요!

난 앨리슨이라니까요!

아무리 이게 꿈이라도 내 이름은 앨리슨이에요!

그들이 널 잡으러 온다니까, 바버라

봐! 그들 중 하나야

 

걱정 하지마

곧 잠에서 깰거야

 

여기가 당신 집이에요?

전 안으로 들어가야 돼요!

우리 둘다 안으로 들어가야 돼요

 

왜 그래?

괜찮아?

 

괜찮아 그냥 악몽이야

미안 다시 자

앨리슨 팔에 뭘 한거야?

세상에

 

왜 이렇게 된 건지 이해가 안 돼

꿈 꾸고 있었는데

이상하고 오래된 좀비 영화 꿈

 

꿈을 꾸고 있으면 통제가 안 되잖아

그러니까 당신이 팔을 잡고 있었는데

피부를 할퀸 거 아냐

흔한 일이야

내 룸메이트는 주먹으로 자기 얼굴도 날렸는데 뭘

난 가끔 이를 갈고

차고에 가서 시동 잘 못 걸기도 하고

팔을 할퀴었지

자기를 할퀴긴 했지만

어쨌든

 

됐다 짠

 

한 시간 좀 전에 묘지관리인이 바비 카탈라노 죽은 걸 발견했어요

수사팀이 그러는데 저기 묘지들 있는 데서 살해됐대요

그러고 여기 구석으로 끌려온 거고요

 

내가 총 가지러 간 동안 차는 주차장에 주차되어 있었어요

그가 여기 뭐하러 왔는지 알아요?

그의 직업을 고려하면 일과 관련된 거겠죠

근데 저기 있는 비석이 이 사람 부인꺼더라고요

 

가장 맞는 추측은 그가 묘지를 방문하러 왔는데

누군가 그를 덮쳐서 돌로 머리를 내리치고

주머니를 털어간 거예요

강도하기에는 다소 이상한 장소 아닌가요?

그럴 수도 있고 아닐 수도 있죠

조용하고

고립돼 있는 데다

소리쳐도 도와 줄 사람 없고

죽은 사람들만 잔뜩 있으니

 

보고 싶은 데 둘러 봐요

뭔가 감이 오는지도 보고요

그럼 난 카탈라노 씨한테

아버지가 죽은 걸 찾았다고 전화하러 갈게요

 

저기요 괜찮으세요?

 

앨리슨!

 

무슨 일이에요?

 

앨리슨! 사람 불러요!

구급차도 불러 와요

 

중생대는 파충류의 시대라고도 불리워요

파충류는 모든 시기에 지구상에서 가장 지배적인 종이에요

거의 2억년 동안 살았죠

 

중생대는 가장 두드러지는 세 시기로 나뉘어요

 

브리짓?

 

괜찮니?

 

왔니?

 

안녕?

별 일 없니?

 

스칼렛 양이 저한테 화 난 거 같아요

스칼렛 양? 거미?

그건 불가능한데 스칼렛 양은 떠내려 갔어

 

편히 잠들었다고

그러니 이 시점에서 스칼렛 양은 누구한테도 화 낼 수 없단다

그래요? 전 그렇게 생각 안 해요

그리고 스칼렛 양은 화났어요

그리고 전 그래도 싸요

왜?

 

왜냐면 제가 사탕을 좀 줬거든요

뭐?

 

사탕을 좀 먹였다고요

집 안에 사탕을 넣어 놨었어요

그냥 좋아하는지만 보려고요

 

그래서 스칼렛 양이 죽은 거 같아요

 

이 사람은 에드워드 크립키에요

사회복지소에 따르면 마약중독에 신경쇠약, 정신분열이래요

지역 보호소에 있을 수 없어서 묘지에서 지냈대요

카탈라노 씨 딸이 말하길 크립키와 카탈라노가 말다툼을 했었나 봐요

카탈라노는 자기 부인 무덤 근처에서 크립키가 약에 절어서 다니는 걸 싫어했죠

칼은 실제로 접근금지 신청도 했었어요

그게 뭘 증명하...

카드보드 집이 발견됐는데 크립키가 지내던 곳이에요

거기서 칼의 지갑을 찾았어요 시계도

입에 피는 뭐였어요? 신음소리도

마약 과다복용이요

약에 취해 있었어요

의사 말이 뇌에 심각한 손상이 있대요

어떤 마약이길래요?

웨트라는 약 들어봤어요?

메탄올, 포름알데히드, 에탄올에 절어있는 담배 같은 거에요

환각제인데, 믿기진 않겠지만 실제로 수요도 꽤 있어요

사람들이 이런 재료로 약을 못 만들도록 하고 있지만

계속 더 많이 나오네요

그래서요?

이 사람은 뇌가 약에 취해 있어서

자기가 저지른 범죄도 시인 못하겠네요

상관 없어요 취했든 안 취했든 살인죄로 체포하기에 충분해요

저 시체의 무엇이 당신 이목을 이끌었는진 모르겠지만

일이 이렇게 되서 달가워요

칼의 딸한테 말할 답이 생겼잖아요

그래서 브리짓이 자기가 죽은 거미 귀신을 봤다고 생각한다고?

네 그렇다네요

그래서 브리짓한테 뭐라고 했어?

학교 애완동물한테 사탕을 줬다고 선생님한테 말하라고 했어

그렇게 하는 게 뭐가 도움이 돼?

과도한 상상력은 물론이고 죄책감을 좀 덜 수 있을테니

사실대로 말하기라도 하면...

아, 그래 무슨 말인지 알겠어

이게 한 동안 계속될텐데

당신 같으면 죽은 벌레랑 함께 지내고 싶겠어?

얘기가 나와서 말하는데

'해야 할 일 목록'에 써 놔야겠다

...의 원인은 집단 히스테리가 아닙니다

이 살인은 동부지역의 1/3을 휩쓸고 있습니다

이는 인육을 먹는 생물체들에 의한 것입니다

방금 저희가 최근에 작성된 글의 일부를 입수한 것 같습니다

워싱턴 민방위 본부가 공개한 보고서입니다

'방금 죽은 사람이 되살아나 살인 행위를 저지르고 있다.'

장례회관, 시체보관소, 병원의 많은 연구 보고서들은

매장되지 않은 시체들이 회생하여

인간 희생자를 물색하고 있다는 결론을 지었습니다

 

저기요?

 

조!

맙소사

여기서 뭐해?

미안하지만 내 이름은 조가 아니오

데일이오 데일 커스로브

기억 안 나요?

 

안으로 들어오려는 괴물한테서 내가 당신을 구했잖소

 

당신이 쓰러질 때 머리를 부딪혀서 정신을 잃었소

그래서 통증이 가라앉으라고 당신을 소파에 뉘었지

지금은 정신이 들었으니 날 좀 도와요

몸 상태가 괜찮으면 말이오

당신을 공격한 그 괴물...

친구가 많지

틀림없이 다시 올거요

 

별로 말하고 싶진 않지만

우리 가족은 고속도로 위를 지나고 있었는데

그들이 떼로 있는 걸 봤소

내가 속도를 늦추고 다시 봤을 땐

그것들이 뭔지 몰랐소

무슨 일이 일어나는지 알기도 전에

하나가 아내 쪽 문을 열었소

그 괴물이 트럭에서 집사람을 끌어내자

그것들이 집사람 쪽으로 달려들었소

이빨로 집사람의 살을 물어뜯으면서

너무 끔찍해요

그러다 당신의 집을 찾아냈고

미안하지만 여기 머무르게 됐소

전 괜찮아요

제 집이 아니에요

누구 집인지 몰라요

 

아빠?

 

제 딸들이오

애비게일, 메이블 그리고 벨라라오

미안하지만 당신 이름을 못 들었소

 

앨리슨이에요

 

전 앨리슨 드부아예요

 

아빠 저희더러 지하실에 있으라고 했지만

저 남자 심해지고 있어요

남자가 있어? 무슨 남자?

사람이 또 있어?

오는 길에 발견했소

그들 무리 사이에서 구하려 하자

막 물고 매달리고 했지

아무튼 그를 데려왔소

얘들아 부엌에 가서 물 갖다 주렴

마실 수 있는지 지켜 봐

 

이 곳을 막아야 하오

경찰이나 방위대가 우릴 데리러 올 때까지

기다려야 하오

내일 아침까진 괜찮을 것 같소

 

우린 무사할 거요

아빠 그들이 돌아왔어요!

떼로 몰려왔어요!

창문으로 보여요

 

젠장할!

나무가 더 필요해

그리고 자물쇠도

 

낡은 가구를 찾아 봐요

부숴서 판자로 쓸 수 있는 거 아무거나요

 

이봐요 뭘 그렇게 쳐다봐요?

우린 할 일이 많아요

미안

아는 사람이라서... 우린 같은 곳에서 왔어

 

맙소사

 

숨을 안 쉬어요

빨리 올라 와!

나무가 필요해!

이거 가지고 올라가

내가 더 찾아 볼게

 

뭐야? 왜 그래?

 

세상에

 

 

드부아 씨?

 

아 네 의사선생님

앨리슨은 어때요?

나아질 겁니다

부상도 치료했고요

하지만 부상이라 부르는 게 맞을진 모르겠네요

무슨 뜻이에요?

피를 모두 닦아내고 보니

피부가 빨갛고 염증도 있고 멍도 있어서

맞은 것처럼 보였지만

어디도 찢어진 데는 없었어요

이 자국도 없고 실제 외상도 없고요

그게 가능합니까?

하나의 가능성으로... 제가 생각할 수 있는 가능성은

심신적 타박상으로 알려진 증상을 들 수 있어요

환자가 자신을 해치려는 아주 드문 경우죠

 

종아리 뒤쪽이라서 그건 불가능하다고 생각하는 데요

아, 부상은 심리적 트라우마로 생깁니다

환자의 심리적 상태가 부상이 생기도록 하는 거죠

상처는 극도의 스트레스에 무의식적인 생리 반응으로 생겼어요

이 이론은 즉, 감정 상태만으로 혈관을 터지게 할 수 있다는 겁니다

또 아주 심해지면 모공을 통해 정말로 출혈을 할 수 있어요

부인께서 악몽을 꿨다고 하셨는데요

그러니 몇 일은 숙면이 필요하겠습니다

수면제 처방해 드렸구요

이것 외엔...

 

별로 말이 안 되는데?

잠을 더 자라고?

뭐 난 잘 모르겠다

의사가 숙면을 취하랬고...

잠깐, 의사가 전혀 이해를 못했네

숙면을 취하는 동안 난 악몽에서 죽을 거야

왜, 생각해 봐 설령 의사 말이 맞더라도

진짜로 내가 숙면을 취하더라도

난 계속해서 다치게 될 거야!

꿈에서 다치고 일어나서도 다쳐있을 텐데!

다음 꿈에선 내가 다리가 부러진다거나

만약 죽으면 어떡해?

뭐? 정말로 그럴 거라고 생각하는 건 아니지?

 

이건 미쳤어! 어떻게 잠을 안 자고 살아?

잠은 자야지!

6시 15분이야

좀 있으면 애들이 일어날 텐데

그 전에 도착해야 되는데

 

좋아, 오늘 밤엔 이렇게 하자 내가 깨 있을게

알았지? 당신 자는 거 볼게

당신이 악몽 꿀 것 같으면 깨울게

열두 시까진 하고 교대하자

그러고 몇 시간 깨 있다가 또 자면 돼

아침까지 그렇게 계속하는 거야

이 방법으로 둘이서 번갈아 잘 자면 돼

어때?

'이것이 당신 머리 속에서 나온 것이다'

드부아 씨

 

카탈라노 부인, 오시는지 몰랐어요

저도 몰랐어요

어젯밤에 검사님이 불렀어요

오늘 아침에 있을 회의에 참석해 달라고요

그러다 당신이 여기 앉아있는 걸 봤고

만나서 감사하단 말 하고 싶었어요

경찰이 그러길 아빠를 죽인 범인을 찾으셨다면서요

아, 아니에요 저 혼자서 한 것도 아닌데요

천만의 말씀이에요

 

매번 듣는 말이겠지만

제가 당신을 위해서 할 수 있는 일이 있다면...

오, 고맙습니다

 

그저 범인을 붙잡아서 다행이네요

 

이런! 이제 가 봐야겠네요

 

고마워요

 

세상에, 어쩌다 팔을 다치셨어요?

 

그렇게 심하진 않아요

사실 제가 이랬어요

정말요?

전화로 아빠 소식을 들었을 때

경찰이 아빠가 죽었다는 걸 말했을 때

팔이 떨어져 나갈 정도로 꽉 잡았어요

비명을 참으려고요

제가 그러는지도 몰랐었나 봐요

 

어쨌든 가 봐야겠어요

다시 한 번, 고마워요

 

정말 죄송해요, 콜래도 선생님

스칼렛 양에게 사탕을 주지 말았어야 했어요

그리고... 제가 한 짓을 선생님께 말했어야 했어요

 

이렇게 와서 나한테 말해 줘서 고맙구나, 브리짓

말하기까지 힘들었을 텐데

 

비밀 지킬 수 있니?

 

저기 뒤에 니플스 씨 있지?

 

아무도 모르는 얘기지만

그도 니플스 씨를 아주 보고싶어 한단다

있지... 주말에 첫 번째 니플스 씨를 집으로 데려갔어

근데 니플스 씨를 가둔 곳 문 닫는 걸 깜빡한 거야

결국 선생님 소가 니플스 씨 우리를 밟고 말았어

긴 이야기를 짧게 말하자면

온 가게를 돌아다니면서 니플스 씨랑 닮은 앨 찾느라

일요일을 몽땅 보내버렸지 뭐니

 

이런 일은 종종 생긴단다, 브리짓

네가 스칼렛 양에게 사탕을 주지 말아야 했을지도 모르지만

그게 스칼렛 양을 죽인 거라곤 장담할 수 없어

브리짓, 왜 그러니?

괜찮아?

 

그 타란툴라가 입 안으로 못 들어오게

스웨터를 저렇게 입고 있어

 

아직도 욱씬거려?

응, 아니

이상한 건 뭔지 알아?

이상하지 않은 거에 대해 얘기하는 게 어때?

그러면 대화가 훨씬 짧아질 텐데

그 남자 알지? 장례식장 운영하는데 살해된 사람

그 딸이 사무실에 왔었는데

나랑 똑같은 상처가 있는거야

무슨 말이야?

무슨 말이라니? 완전히 똑같았다고

똑같은 곳, 다 똑같았어

아마 당신이 만난 좀비를 만났나 보지

상처가 완전히 똑같았다고

이건 우연일 수 없어

난 모르겠어, 앨

당신이 계속 얘기하고 싶다면 들어줄 순 있는데

잠잘 수 있는 시간은 줄어든단 건 알아둬

3시간 있다가 일어나야지

 

내가 이상하게 코라도 골면 깨워 줄 거지?

얼른 자 내가 지켜 볼게

아무 일도 일어나지 않도록 할게

 

조! 내가 들린다면 지금 당장 깨워 줘

 

애비게일! 하지마!

 

열어줘요!

제발, 들어가게 해 줘요!

내 말 들었어요? 도와달라고요!

안 돼! 그럴 수 없어!

부탁이오! 총알이 다 떨어졌소! 신의 가호를 베푸시오!

들어가게 해 달란 말이오!

안 돼요! 안 돼!

제 자신을 보호해야 돼요!

 

내가 문을 열면 난 죽어요!

꿈에서 죽을 수 없어요!

열어줘요! 제발!

 

안 돼! 열 수 없어!

미안해!

죽고 싶지 않아!

당신 깼어 안전해 이제

 

앨, 그냥 꿈이야

다 지나간 일이야

아무것도 할퀴지도 물어뜯지도 않았어

알아 당신 말이 맞아

 

당신이 잘 차례야

 

넌 이미 알고 있지?

왜 그걸 나한테 겨누는 거에요?

난 그들이 아니라고요!

우린 네가 누군지 알고 있어, 바버라

내 이름은 바버라가 아니에요! 앨리슨이라고요!

거짓말할 필요없어!

벌써 저쪽 언덕에 네 실험실도 찾아냈어

우린 네가 탱크에다 조제한 물질에 대해 모두 알고 있어

무슨 말이에요?

어젯밤 여기서 일어난 일이 네 탓이란 걸 알고 있어

 

난 이것들 본 적도 없어요!

이봐요, 난 당신네들이 무슨 말을 하고 있는지 모르겠어요

무슨 실험실, 무슨 조제물이요?

네가 이 사람들을 아프게 했잖아 네가 독을 뿌렸어 바버라

아뇨! 그렇지 않아요!

이거 알아? 널 찾아서 정말 기쁘다

 

안 돼요? 어디로 데려가는 거예요?

네가 자초한 것의 표본을 살려둬야 했지

그들이 널 보고 식욕이 돋궈지는 걸 보라고!

 

그들의 간식거리를 찾아서 좋군!

안 돼!

안 돼! 제발!

 

제발요...

꺼내줘요!

 

제발...

안 돼

제발...

안 돼

나가게 해 줘요!

안 돼!

 

왜 안 깨웠어?

 

잠들었어

 

끔찍했어

근데 살아남긴 했네

스캔런하고 드발로스도 나왔어

양철인간이랑 허수아비 표시는 없어?
(오즈의 마법사에서 도로시가 모든 것이 꿈이란 걸 깨닫는데, 이를 두고 한 조크임)

날 자꾸 바버라라고 부르는데

모든 게 내 책임이래

날 트럭 안에다 내던졌는데

당신이 거기 있었고... 애들도 있었고

 

잠깐, 우린 죽은 거 아니었나?

 

너네들이 날 먹었어

아주 진수성찬을 차려 먹었지

 

당신 안 좋아 보이진 않아

 

우리가 걱정했던 꿈은 아니잖아?

진짜로 우리가 꿈에서 당신을 먹었으면

보나마나 당신은 죽어있을 거 아냐

근데 먹기 시작하고 다 먹었을 즈음엔

꿈 안 꾸고 있잖아

생생해 보이는데?

그러네

 

그건 또 뭐야?

 

꿈에서 다친 것 같은데

뭔가 뜨거운 걸 만졌더니 데었어

 

부활한 시체 가족한테 산 채로 잡아먹히는 꿈치곤

입은 상처는 그거 뿐이네

행운이라고 생각해야 되지 않겠어?

 

미안해요

앞문에 아무도 없길래 마음대로 뒷문으로 들어왔어요

괜찮아요 드부아 씨

어떻게 오셨어요?

 

아버지 개인소지품을 드리려고 들렀어요

조문이 내일이라고 신문에서 읽었어요

그래서 필요한 물건은 다 드리려고요

손목시계, 결혼 반지...

정말 친절하시네요

스티븐스가 지금 아빠 유품을 가지고 오고 있어요

여길 준비해 놓고 있었죠

 

괜찮으세요?

 

오, 미안해요

 

아빠가 이렇게 말씀하시곤 했죠

'현명한 자는 죽음에 놀라지 않는다'

가실 준비가 되어 있었어요 제가 갈 때까

 

근데 전 아주 현명하진 않은 것 같네요

 

이런

 

펜 있으세요?

개인소지품 받으셨다고 사인 좀 해주실래요?

 

좀만 기다려 주시겠어요?

[새 자막]

실례지만 저게 뭐예요?

 

저거요?

인버밍 탱크예요

시체에 피를 빼내고 넣을 때 사용하죠

에탄올, 메탄올, 포름알데히드

 

죄송해요. 데었네요

 

바비?

 

바비는 바버라 애칭이죠?

네 그런데요

어떻게 알았어요?

 

알았어

나한테 말하고 싶은게 있으면

네가 알아서 말할 방법을 찾아 와

 

스칼렛 양! 난 심각하다고

 

알이잖아!

 

여기까지 와 주셔서 감사합니다 카탈라노 씨

힘든 시기에 얼마나 바쁜지 압니다

그러니 용건을 바로 말씀 드리죠

카탈라노 씨의 아버지 살인 건 조사에 새로운 것을 발견했습니다

그가 죽기 전에 범인을 물었다고 합니다

그래요? 네

 

죄송하지만 검사님

전 그게 왜 새로운 건지 잘 모르겠네요

아, 전 아버지와 범인 싸움의 잔인한 부분까진 듣고 싶지 않아요

알겠습니다 근데 에드워드 크립키한테선 물린 자국이 없어요

따라서 그를 범인이 아닌 것으로 판명되었습니다

하지만 이해가 안 되는데요

크립키가 아버지의 손목시계, 지갑을 갖고 있었잖아요

게다가 몇 차례 말다툼도 있었구요

에드워드 크립키는 치료 받지 않은 정신 분열증 환자예요

그는 많은 사람들과 수차례 말다툼을 했어요

아무도 해치지 않았죠

아버지의 소지품에 관한 거라면요

만약 크립키가 가장 먼저 시체를 찾았다면 훔쳤을 수도 있어요

아니면 다른 누군가 몰래 갖다놨을 수도 있구요

 

갖다놨다고요?

정말요?

누가 그런 짓을 해요? 왜요?

100% 확실한 건 아니지만

크립키의 혐의가 의심이 되고

다른 용의자가 없으므로

재조사에 착수할 겁니다

그렇다면 그렇게 해야죠

대부분의 경우

we begin with the last person whose other victim alives

so we can rule them out of suspects

이 경우엔 당신이 됩니다

괜찮으시다면 간단한 신체검사를 하겠습니다

여성검사관이 물린 자국이 없다고 확인하고 나면

다른 용의자를 찾는 데 힘쓰겠습니다

뭐라 하셨죠?

전 아버지를 사랑했어요

저는 아버지를 절대 해치지 않아요

당신들이 절 이렇게 취급하는 걸 아버지가 아신다면

아버지가 이 부서를 위해서 헌신하셨는데도...

지난 몇 년 간 당신의 사업으로 은행 융자를 5번이나 받으셨죠?

신문은 읽기나 하세요, 형사양반?

지금 경제가 옛날 경제가 아니예요

하지만 사람들은 여전히 죽고

살아있는 사람들은 돈을 안 써요

그래서 하고 싶은 말이 뭐요?

지난 몇 년 간의 당신 공급업자한테 전화를 했어요

일이 잘 안 된다면서

작년보다 인버밍 액체를 세 배다 더 주문하셨습니까?

그게 에탄올, 메탄올, 포름알데히드의 혼합물인 것 알고 계신가요?

웨트라는 마약의 재료인 것도요?

모르겠는데요

어떻게 그렇게 많은 마약거래상들이 도처에 있는지도 의문이 들더군요

짐작되는 부분 있습니까?

뭐라 말해야 모르겠군요

당신 아버지가 당신이 뭘 하고 있는지 알게 되자

당신에게 따졌죠

그러다 몸싸움이 있었고

당신을 물었어요

오른쪽 종아리요

아버님께서 시공무원들에게 해 오신 일은 감사하게 생각하지만

혐의를 인정하고 자백을 완전히 하신다면

형량에 대해 협상할 수 있을 겁니다

하지만 계속 아니라고 부인하시면 여기 있는 스캔런 형사가 당신을 체포하고

종아리에 물린 자국이 발견되면

당신의 운명은 배심원의 손에 달릴 겁니다

아버지는 어머니의 무덤에서 그를 만나라고 했어요

 

그리고 아버지는 다 안다고 말했죠

 

엄마가 절 수치스럽게 여길거라고 말했어요

 

저게 다 알이야?

 

내가 타란툴라는 한 번에 알을 수천 개 낳을 수 있다고 말했던가?

여기서 부화하진 않겠지?

아마 아닐걸

발견하자마자 콜래도 선생님한테 전화를 했더니

선생님이 내일 애완동물 가게에 가지고 가서

다들 좋은 집에서 살 수 있도록 해 주신댔어

스칼렛 양이 이걸 원했던 것 같아

너희 둘 사탕 받으러 갈 준비 됐니?

 

엄마는 마녀인 거 알겠어요

근데 아빤 뭘로 분장한 거예요?

쪼다잖아!

애리얼!

나중에 보자 우린 지금 나간다

기다려요

 

아빠 아무데도 안 간다고 약속해요

누굴 좀 놀래켜줘야 되서요

그래 그러자

내 부츠 어딨어?

티비 아무도 안 끌거니?

 

'그들이 널 잡으러 올거야, 앨리슨'

 

'그들이 널 잡으러 올거야, 바버라'

 

그럼 그렇지

 

We can cast off the shackles
of our daily lives.

 

We can go anywhere
we want to go.

 

We can be any version
of ourselves

That we want to be.

I'm not saying that isn't true.

Who am I to contradict
a college textbook?

But any schoolkid can tell you

That there is one thing
you can't do in your dreams.

 

(alarm ringing)
you can't die.

 

According to just
about every schoolkid

Who's ever lived--

If you actually die
in your dream,

You'll die in real life, too.

We laugh at that idea
as we get older.

But I wonder sometimes:

Can we ever be absolutely sure

That those kids are wrong?

I mean, if your dream
does kill you,

You're not around to talk
about it, right?

They'll call it a heart attack.

They'll say you died
in your sleep.

They'll never know
what actually happened

Is that your worst nightmare
finally caught up with you.

 

(sighs)

You okay?

You all right?
(sighs)

Actually, I'm dead.

(sighs)

Well, get some
more sleep.

You'll feel
better.
Mm.

 

(thunder rumbling)

They're coming to get you,
Barbara.

Stop it.

You're ignorant.

They're coming
for you, barbara.

Look! There comes
one of them now.

Cool.

They really were
coming for her.

Johnny: I'm getting out of here.
Barbara: Johnny!

 

(barbara screaming)

Johnny!

Help me!

Hey, where you goin'?

You're not afraid,
are you?

Hey, what're you watching
over there?

It sounds pretty scary
for a Sunday morning.

It's some old movie called
night of the living dead.

It's part of a zombie
movie marathon

That's going to be on
until Halloween.

They're not running the one

Where everyone gets
trapped in the mall,

Are they?
Ariel: Bridgette!

I am going to
kill you!

Mom!

Make her come and
get this thing

Out of here!

Bridgette, I mean it!

Get in here
before I flush this thing!

That thing has a name.

Miss scarlet.

I don't care what your
stupid science class

Decided to call
their stupid pet.

Get it out of here. Now!

Bridgette, I thought
you told me

You were going to keep
miss scarlet in your room.

I know, but miss colletto
said tarantulas do better

In humid environments

Like a bathroom
or a basement.

And it's not like I was
going to keep her in here.

Humid. Huh.

How do you think she'll feel
at the bottom of the toilet?

(phone rings)
ariel, relax.
Bridgette, hey.

Bring miss scarlet
back into your room.

You can bring her in here when
it's your turn to take a bath.

 

Scanlon.

He does know
it's Sunday, right?

Hey. What's going on?

Hey, I know it's the weekend,
but I was wondering

If there's any way you could
give me a hand with something.

I got kind of a situation.

What kind of situation?

You're damn right,
I'm upset.

Something bad has
happened to him,

And you people
don't seem to care.

This is a man
who has given discounts

To the policemen
and firemen

For as long as he's been
in business.

He's even buried a few men
for free

When he realized that the
families couldn't afford it.

And now that he needs you,

All I hear is, it's too soon

To file a missing
persons report.
Ma'am,

The person who answered your
call obviously wasn't aware

Of your father's special
relationship

With the department.

Which is why we're
here to assure you

That this is being
taken seriously.

We're doing everything
we can to find your father.

Now, do you think
it's possible

Th

That he may have just slipped
away without telling you?

Maybe taken some time off?

You haven't heard a word
I've said, have you?

He's not taking time off.

He doesn't take time off.

"time off" is not
in my father's dna.

This is a man who lives to work.

Period.

He's been running
this place for 40 years.

And as far as I know,

The only time
he's taken time off

Was the morning that I was born.

And that was only
because my mother

Threatened to kill him
if he didn't.

 

Okay, well...

Along those same lines,
did he have any enemies?

Anyone who may have
wished him harm?

 

Ten, twelve years ago,

I would've said "no."

He was always
a very loved man.

He was the president of the
chamber of commerce three times.

He always sponsored
a little league team.

He loved
this neighborhood.

(sighs)
I think that's why
he was so upset

When he started to see it change
with the drugs

And the crime and the dealers...

The gangs.

You know, daddy's never been shy
about his opinion

With regard to the state
of things around here.

And on more than one occasion,

He's had words with

The drug dealers.

Who knows?
Maybe...

One of them, finally just, um...

Just got rid of him.

Now, if you'll
excuse me,

I have two funerals
this morning.

The dead don't like
to be kept waiting.

 

(sighs): Yikes.

Okay, here's the plan.

I put miss scarlet on the tip
of ariel's toothbrush

And you take a picture.

And then,
once ariel's done

Brushing her teeth,
we show her the picture.

Your spider looks funny
when he's sleeping.

(laughing): Okay,

First of all, it's not a spider,

It's a tarantula.

Second of all, it's not a he,
it's a she.

And third of all,
tarantulas don't sleep.

Well, this one does.

What?

 

(ominous soundtrack playing)

 

What did
miss colletto say?

Was she mad?

No, sweetie, she wasn't mad.

Nobody's mad.

Well, she was just sorry it took
her so long to call us back.

She wanted to make sure that
you don't worry about it.

She said there's no way
of knowing how old
miss scarlet was,

And it was probably
just her time.

That isn't your fault.

 

I think I'm just
going to go to bed.

Hey, I thought we were going
to finish this together.

Yeah, well,
you can finish it without me.

I'm just not in the mood
anymore.

 

Hmm.

Did miss colletto
happen to mention

What we were supposed to do with
the spectacular spider remains?

Apparently,
miss scarlet is flushable.

Burial at sea.

Excellent.
What about the terrarium?

Well, she said if we
don't have any use for it,

We can just
throw it away.

Seems that she has more than
she needs in her classroom.

Mmm, dead tarantulas,

Flesh-eating zombies,

And a missing
funeral parlor director.

Halloween isn't exactly
being subtle this year.

(thunder rumbling)

 

Hey, come on, barb.

Church was this morning, huh?

I'm sorry.

Was that you who just
said something to me?

And did you say it
in black and white?

Hey, I mean, praying's
for church, huh?

Come on.

Wait, back up.

Did you just call me
"barb"?

My name's allison.

And I'm not sure I like

What this black and white
is doing to my skin.

(thunder crashing)

 

Do you remember one time,
when we were small,

We were out here?

It was from right over there.

I jumped out at you
from behind a tree,

And grandpa got all excited
and he shook his fist at me

And he said, "boy, you'll
be damned to hell." (chuckles)

Well, you used to really
be scared here.

This is really freaky.

Hey, you're still afraid.

(thunder rumbling)

 

(횪 la vincent price):
They're coming to
get you, barbara.

You've got to stop calling me
barbara!

My name is allison!

Even though this is a dream,
my name is allison!

They're coming
for you, barbara.

Johnny: Look!

There comes one
of them now.

 

(barbara screaming)

 

(thunder rumbling)

 

(head thumps on headstone)

(gasping)

 

(gasping)

(thunder rumbling)

(softly groaning)

 

(panting)

Don't worry.

You're going to wake up soon.

 

(panting)

 

Hey, is that your house?

I need to get inside!
We both really

Need to get inside...

(screams)

 

(panting)

 

(screaming)

(gasps, screams)

Hey, what's
going on?

You all right?
(sighs)

 

Yeah, nothing.

It's a nightmare.

It's just a nightmare.

Sorry, honey.

Go back to sleep.

 

What? Allison?

What did you do
to your arm?

Oh, my god.

 

I just don't understand
how this happened.

I was having a dream,

A weird, old
zombie movie dream.

 

Well, I mean...

If you were dreaming,
you weren't, like, in control.

I mean, you just,
like, grabbed yourself--

You grabbed your arm,
and you scratched yourself up.

Really ripped the skin.

But, you know,
it's not that unusual.

Had a roommate
in college

Who used to throw
punches in his sleep.

I sometimes grind my teeth.

I mean, it's not like
you went in the garage

And, like, started up
the skill saw.

I mean, you scratched
yourself.

You scratched the crap
out of yourself,

But still...

 

Okay.

Voil횪.

(siren wailing)

Scanlon:
Groundskeeper found
bobbi catalano's dad

A little over
an hour ago.

Forensics thinks he was killed
out there by those graves,

Then dragged in here
and out of sight.

Wallet and
watch are gone.

Car is still parked
in the parking lot.

Do we have any idea
what he was doing out here?

Given his profession,
you'd think

It might have
been work-related,

But, uh, apparently,

One of those headstones over
there belongs to his wife.

Best guess is,
he was visiting her

When someone jumped him.

Smashed his head in with a
stone and emptied his pockets.

It's kind of a strange place
for a mugging, don't you think?

Well, yes and no.

It's quiet, isolated.

If you yell for help, there's
no one around to hear

Except for a bunch
of dead people.

(sighs)

Feel free to take
a look around

And see if you
get anything.

I'm going to go
call ms. Catalano

And let her know
we found her dad.

(static crackles,
garbled radio chatter)

 

(crow cawing)

(man coughing)

 

Allison:
Sir?

 

Sir.

 

Sir, are you all right?

 

(screaming)

Scanlon:
Allison.

(coughing)

 

What the hell
is going on?

(stammers)

 

(coughing)

Allison, go for help.

Get them to call
an ambulance.

(school bell ringing)

The mesozoic era is often called
the age of the reptiles.

Reptiles were the dominant form
of life on earth

For the entire era,
which lasted...

(girl clearing throat)

...Almost 200 million years.

 

The mesozoic era is divided
into three distinct periods.

(screaming)

 

Bridgette?

(students laughing)

Are you all right?

 

Hi, kiddo.

 

No hello?

Is everything okay?

I think miss scarlet's
mad at me.

Miss scarlet?

The spider?

I don't think that's
possible, honey.

Uh, I was there when
miss scarlet was fl...

 

Laid to rest,
and I don't think she can be mad

At anyone or anything
at this point.

Yeah, well,
I think she can.

And I think she is.

And I deserve it.

Why?

 

Because I gave her some candy.

What?

I fed her some candy.

I put some candy in her cage,

Just to see if she'd like it.

 

I think that's why she died.

Woman (over p.A.):
Paging dr. Stateman.

Scanlon:
His name's edgar kripke.

According to social services,
he's a drug addict

And a paranoid
schizophrenic.

When he couldn't get a bed at
the local homeless shelter,

He'd sleep in
that cemetery.

Bobbi catalano told
me that kripke

Had actually had words
with her father before.

I guess her dad wasn't
too happy that this guy

Was crashing a few hundred
yards from his wife's grave.

Carl actually called
the police on him once.

Had him arrested
for vagrancy.

But that doesn't prove
that he...

We searched the cardboard
box that kripke calls home.

Found carl's wallet
in there and his watch.

Well, what about the blood
around his mouth?

And the groaning?

Drug overdose.

He must have just gotten
high when you spotted him.

His doctor says it caused
some serious brain damage.

What kind of drug
does that?

You ever heard of
something called "wet"?

Cigarettes soaked in methanol,
formaldehyde and ethanol.

It's a hallucinogen.
Believe it or not,

There's actually
demand for this stuff.

The government's been
trying to make it harder

For the people who
cook this stuff up

To get their hands
on the ingredients,

But we just keep seeing
more and more of it.

So, what, this guy
just fried his brain?

We're never going to get him
to admit what he did.
It's okay.

I think we got enough to
pin this murder on kripke,

Whether he ever
talks again or not.

 

I don't know
exactly what it was

That drew your attention
to this deadbeat, but, uh,

I'm glad it happened.

At least now we got some
answers for carl's daughter.

So, bridgette thinks
she's being haunted

By that dead spider?

Yes, indeedy.

So, what did you
tell her?

I suggested she
talk to her teacher

And tell her that she fed
candy to the class pet.

Well, how is that
going to help?

Well, she's obviously got
a guilty conscience,

Not to mention an
overactive imagination,

So I just figured if
she confessed, then...

Okay, I get that.

I mean, you've been
at this for a while.

Have you ever communed
with any dead insects?

Well, now that
you mention it,

I'm going to have to add
that to my to-do list.

 

Male reporter (over tv):
...Reports, incredible
as they seem,

Are not the results
of mass hysteria.

A wave of murder,
which is sweeping

The eastern third of the nation,
is being committed by creatures

Who feast upon the flesh
of their victims.

I think we have some late word
just arriving.

This is the latest disclosure
in a report

From national civil defense
headquarters in washington.

"it has been established that
persons who have recently died

Have been returning to life
and committing acts of murder."

(loud hammering)

"widespread investigation
of reports from funeral homes,

"morgues and hospitals
has concluded

"that the unburied dead
are coming back to life

And seeking human victims."

 

(hammering continues)

 

Hello?

 

(gasps, then sighs)

Joe.

Oh, my god.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry. My name's not joe.

It's dale. It's dale cosgrove.

Don't you remember?

 

I saved you from
that creature

Who was trying
to get in here.

You fell down,
and you hit your head.

We put you on the couch
so you could sleep it off.

But now you're up,
I could use your help.

I mean, if you're
feeling up to it.

And that creature
who attacked you--

He's got a lot of friends.

Pretty sure
they're coming back.

 

Hey.

I know what I'm
talking about.

My family and I
were on the interstate,

And we saw a whole bunch
of them.

I slowed down.
It was dark.

I didn't realize what
they were at first.

And before I knew
what was happening...

One of them
got my wife's door open,

And he... He pulled her
out of the truck,

And they all began biting
at her,

Ripping at her flesh
with their teeth.

That's horrible.

So, we found
your house,

And... Hope you don't mind
that we set up camp here.

It... It's fine with me.

It's not my house.

I-I don't know
whose house it is.

 

Daddy?

 

My daughters.

That's abigail,
mabel and bella.

I'm sorry-- I didn't
catch your name.

(sighs)

I'm allison.

 

I'm allison dubois.

Daddy, I know you told us
to stay in the basement,

But that man is getting worse.

There's a man?

What man?

Someone else is here?

We found him
on the way.

We saved him from a pack
of those things.

They were... They were
biting him and clawing at him,

So we brought him with us.

Girls, go to the kitchen.

Get him some water.

See if he'll
take a drink.

 

We got to board
this place up,

Wait it out until the police

Or the national guard
can come get us.

I think, if we can make
it till morning...

(grunts)

...We'll be okay.
Bridgette/bella:
They're back, daddy!

A whole bunch of them!

You can see them
through the window!

 

Damn it.

We're going to need more wood.

And fast.

 

Look for old furniture.

Anything we can break
into more boards.

 

Hey.

Come on.
What are you staring at?

We have work to do.

I-I'm sorry.

I... I...
I know him.

We kind of come from
the same place.

 

Oh, my god.

 

He's not breathing.

Dale:
Hey, come on down there!

We need some wood!
Here.

Here, you take this.

I'll look for more.

 

(suspenseful horror movie
music plays)

 

(screaming)

 

No, no.

(whimpers,
screams)

Ow!

Yeah?

Al, what is it?
What's wrong?

 

(groaning)

Joe:
Oh, my god.

 

Mr. Dubois?

 

Hi... Doctor.

How's my wife?

Uh, she'll be fine.

Uh, we dressed
her wound,

But I'm not sure that's
what we should call it.

What do you mean?

Well, once we rinsed
all the blood away...

You know, her skin is...

It's raw, it's inflamed.

Uh, there's clearly bruising.

And it certainly seems
for all the world

Like she's been bitten.

The only thing is,
there's no broken skin,

No teeth marks,
no actual trauma.

How's that possible?

Well, one possibility,

And the only possibility
I can think of is,

There's a phenomenon
known as psychosomatic bruising.

In very rare cases,

A patient sometimes
can injure themselves.

 

I don't think
that's possible in this case

'cause the bite was on the back
of her calf, so I...

Oh, the wounds wouldn't have
been caused by physical trauma.

The belief is, they're generated
by the patient's mind.

The injuries are a subconscious
physiological response

To extreme stress.

The theory is
that your emotional state

Can cause your blood vessels
to engorge.

And if it's bad enough,

You could actually bleed
right through your pores.

Now, you know,
your wife did say

That she's, uh, been having
nightmares, so I thought

Maybe all she needs
is a couple nights

Of uninterrupted sleep.

So, here's a prescription
for sleeping pills,

And, uh, beyond that...

That doesn't make much sense.

She wants me to get more sleep?

Hey, look, I don't
know, you know?

She seemed to think
that, you know,

A night of uninterrupted
sleep was...

Wait. I don't think
she gets this.

I don't think I could survive
a night of uninterrupted sleep.

I mean, think about it.

Even if she's right, even if
I'm doing this to myself,

I'm still getting hurt.

I dream that I get hurt,
I wake up, and I'm hurt.

What if my next dream,
I dream that I break my leg,

Or what if I die in my dream?

Die? You don't think that
could happen, do you?

 

Honey, this is crazy.

How do you not sleep?

You-you have to sleep.

It's 6:15. The girls
are gonna be up in a minute.

I was hoping
we'd get home before...

Okay, here's what
we're going to do.

I'm going to stay
awake tonight, okay?

I'll watch you sleep.

If it looks like you're
having a nightmare,

Then I'll wake you up.

And if you make it till
midnight, then we'll switch.

I'll sleep for a few hours,
and-and you stay awake.

And we'll keep doing
that until morning.

And that way, between
the two of us,

We'll share a good
night's sleep.

How's that sound?

 

(phone ringing)

 

Mrs. Dubois?

Oh, hi.

Mrs. Catalano, I didn't know
you were coming by.

I didn't know
I was coming by.

The district attorney
called me late last night,

Invited me to be part
of a press conference

That they're having
this morning.

Anyway, I saw you sitting
over here, and I wanted

To come over and
say thank you.

They told me that
you were the one

Who figured out
who killed daddy.

Well, not-not me by myself,

But you're very welcome.

Well, I am sure that you
hear this all the time,

But if there's anything
that I can do for you...

Oh, thank you.

Um, I'm just glad
they caught the guy.

Mm.

Ooh, my.

I'd better get going.

Thank you.

 

Oh, my,
what happened to your hand?

Ow.

It...It's really not that bad.

Um, actually,
I did it to myself.

Really?

When I got the call

About dad, and they told me

That he was really
dead, I must have

Just grabbed my hand and
started squeezing it.

Anything. Anything to keep
from screaming out loud,

And I guess that...

I didn't even realize
that I was doing that.

But, um...

Anyway, uh, I'd
better get going.

Again, thank you.

 

(school bell ringing)

I'm really sorry, miss colletto.

I shouldn't have given
miss scarlet a piece of candy,

And I should have told you
what I did.

Thanks for coming in
and telling me that, bridgette.

That must have been
a hard thing to do.

 

Can you keep a secret?

 

See mr. Nibbles back there?

No one else knows this,

But he's really mr. Nibbles two.

See, I took the first
mr. Nibbles home with me

One weekend,
and I forgot to shut the door

To the room
where I was keeping him.

Turns out, my cat was able
to knock the top off his cage.

Long story short,
I spent most of my Sunday

Driving from pet store
to pet store

Looking for a mr. Nibbles
look-alike.

(coughs)

These things happen, bridgette.

You probably shouldn't
have given miss scarlet

A piece of candy,
but you can't even be sure

That that's what made her die.

(coughing)

(coughing loudly)

(wheezes, then coughs)

(quiet choking)

 

Bridgette, what is it?

Are you okay?

(gasps)

Joe (whispering):
She's got her sweatshirt
like that

So the tarantula can't
get into her mouth.

 

(sighs)

You still sore?

Yeah. No.

You know what's weird?

Why don't we talk about
what isn't weird, huh?

That would be a much shorter
conversation.

You know that man-- the one
who owned the funeral home,

The man who was killed?

His daughter came
into work today,

And she had the exact same cuts
I have.

What do you mean?

I mean, exactly the same--
the same place, same everything.

Maybe she ran into the
same zombie you did.

They were exactly the same.

That can't be
a coincidence, can it?

I don't know, al.

And I'm happy to
keep talking about it

For as long as you
like, but keep in mind,

You're cutting into
your first sleep shift.

Remember, you got to be up
to relieve me in three hours.

Hey, if I even snore weird,
you're gonna wake me up, right?

You go to sleep.

I got it covered.

I'm not going to let
anything happen to you.

 

No! No! No!

(screaming)

No!

(screams)

 

(panting)

(grunting)

 

(sighs)

Joe, if you can hear me,
I'd really like to wake up now.

(debris clinking, thudding)

 

(glass breaking)

(screaming)

 

Joe!

 

(indistinct shouting)

(allison screaming,
joe grunting)

 

(joe grunting)

 

(panting)

(frantic knocking)

(indistinct shouting
outside door)

 

(woman screaming)

Ariel:
Let us in!

Please! Dad's hurt.

You have to let us in.

Yeah.
Can you hear me?

You have to help us!
You promised!

No, I can't!

Joe:
Please. I'm out of bullets.

For the love of god,
let us in!

No!

No. I have to protect myself.

(woman screaming)

If I let you in,
you might kill me.

I can't let myself die
in a dream!

Ariel:
Let us in, please?

No, I can't.

(woman screaming)

I'm sorry.

Oh, no, I don't want to die.

I don't want to die.

I don't want
to die!

I don't want to die.
I don't to die.

I don't want to die.
Allison.

I don't want to... Die!
Easy.

It's okay. You're awake.

You're safe.
(crying)

 

Hey, al, it was just a
dream, that's all it was.

Okay? Nothing scratched
you, nothing bit you.

You're fine.

I know, you're right.

 

It's your turn.

 

Man (on tv):
This one is nice and fresh,

But if this was all brown,
you just simply want to...

Male announcer:
And that's his first two.
Devon gray, and there's...

Man #2 (on tv):
...Harriet banks
are the lucky winners

Of this past weekend's
super lottery draw.

The pair came forward to claim
their $11 million prize...

(suspenseful horror movie
music plays)

 

Hello?

 

Hello?

 

(three gunshots)

 

(rapid gunshots)

 

(sporadic gunshots)

 

(distant rapid gunfire)

(panting)

 

(distant rapid gunfire)

 

(gunshot)

(panting)

Man:
Careful. That's hot.

(steam hisses)
(shrieks)

You already know that,
don't you?

Why are you pointing that thing
at me?

I'm not one of them.

We know exactly who
you are, barbara.

My name is not barbara.

It's allison.

Scanlon:
Don't bother lying.

We already found your
lab over that hill.

We know all about the concoction

You cooked up
in your tanks, barbara.

What are you talking about?

Scanlon:
We know that everything
that happened here

Last night was
your fault.

I've never seen
these things before.

(exhales)
look.

I don't know
what you're talking about.

What lab, what concoction?

You made all those
people sick, barbara.

You poisoned them.

No, you're wrong.

You know what?

I'm glad I was the
one who found you.

No, where am I going?!

The pentagon wants us to keep
a few of the specimens alive.

Given their
ravenous appetites,

I was worried the
creatures wouldn't make it

All the way
to washington.
(yells)

I guess it's good we
found them a snack.

No!

Get that door.

No.

No, please!

(groaning)

 

(banging on door)
let me out!

Please.

(screaming)

 

Let me out!

(screaming)

(gasps)

Oh.

 

Joe:
Hey, you never woke me.

(sighs)
I fell asleep.

And?

It was horrible.

I guess I survived it,
though.

Scanlon and devalos
were there.

Really?

Any sign of the tin
man or the scarecrow?

They kept calling me
barbara,

And they said I was
responsible for all of it

And then they threw me
in the back of this truck,

And you were there
and the girls.

Wait a second, I thought you
said that we were all dead.

 

Oh.

 

You all ate me,
all of you feasted on me.

 

Well, y-you don't look
any worse for wear.

Seriously, um, wasn't this
exactly the kind of dream

That we were worried about?

I mean, if we did
actually, you know,

Eat you in this dream,

It's pretty safe to
assume that you were dead

If not when the
meal started,

Certainly by the
time it ended.

You're not dreaming now and
you look pretty lively to me.

I guess you're right.
Yeah.

Man (over tv):
It's usually a series of four
treatment sessions to reduce...

What is that?

I guess I did sustain
an injury in that dream.

When I touched something hot,
it burned me.

Oh, god.

I guess if you dreamt
about being eaten alive

By the reanimated corpses
of your dead family,

And that's the only
wound you got, I guess

You could consider
yourself lucky.

(knocking)

Allison:
I'm sorry.

No one was in front, so I just
made my way around the back.

Oh, it's okay,
mrs. Dubois.

What can I do for you?

I brought by your father's
personal effects.

Uh, I read in
the paper that

The viewing was tomorrow,
and I wanted to make sure

That you had everything
you needed-- his watch,

His wedding band.

Well, you're very thoughtful.

Actually,
our embalmer steven's

On his way over
with daddy's remains.

I was just getting...
The room ready.

 

You all right?

Oh, I'm sorry, it's just...

Daddy always used to say,

"death never takes
the wise man by surprise;

He is always ready to go
or to let go."

I guess I'm not feeling
terribly wise right now.

 

Uh... Shoot.

Do you happen
to have a pen?

If you wouldn't mind
signing this receipt

That you received your
father's personal effects...

 

(bell dings, steam hisses)

Could you just give me one
moment to empty the autoclave?

I was just cleaning
some instruments

For steven.

 

Excuse me, what are those?

 

Those?

They're the embalming tanks.

They hold the fluid
the embalmer uses

To replace the blood
in the dead body.

Ethanol,
methanol,

Formaldehyde.

(sizzling)
oh!

 

Sorry.

Burned myself.

 

Bobbi?

Huh?

That wouldn't happen to be short

For barbara, would it?

As a matter of fact, it is.

How did you know?

(dry chuckle)

(door opens)

 

Okay, if you have something
to tell me,

You're going to have
to figure out a way to tell me.

 

Miss scarlet,

I'm serious.

 

Oh, eggs.

Thank you again for
coming in, ms. Catalano.

I realize how busy you must be
during this difficult time,

So I'll get right
to the point.

There have been some
recent developments

In the investigation into
your father's murder.

We now have reason to believe
that he bit his attacker

Before he died.

Really?

All right.

W-well, forgive me,
mr. Devalos,

But I don't see
how that really qualifies

As a new development.

I-I don't want to hear
all the gory details

About the fight between
my father and that man.

Well, that's
the thing.

That man edgar kripke--

He doesn't have any bite
marks anywhere on his person,

And as a result, we're
no longer convinced

He's the one who
murdered your father.

I don't understand.

He had my father's watch,
he had my father's wallet.

They had argued several times.

Edgar kripke is an unmedicated
paranoid schizophrenic.

He argued with many people
many times.

He never hurt anyone.

Now, as for
your father's possessions,

If kripke was the first person
to find the body,

Maybe he stole them

Or maybe they were planted.

 

Planted, really?

Well, who would have wanted
to do that, I mean, and why?

We're not entirely sure,

But now that kripke's
guilt is in question

And because there are
no other suspects,

We are going to reopen
the investigation.

Well, if that's
what you need to do...

Typically,

We begin with the last person
who saw the victim alive

So we can rule them
out as a suspect.

In this case that
person is you.

So, if you
don't mind,

We'd like you to
submit yourself

To a brief physical
examination.

If the female officer doesn't
find any bite marks on you,

Then we can refocus
our energy elsewhere.

You're joking.

I beg your pardon?

I loved my father.

I would never hurt him.

If he knew
how you were treating

A member of his family,

After everything that he has
done for this department...

Are you aware that your business
has taken out

No less
than five separate loans

From the bank
over the past few years?

Do you read the
papers, mr. Detective?

The economy is not
what it used to be.

And yes, people
are still dying,

But their survivors are
not spending the money.

Now, what is your point?

I also called a few
of your suppliers.

If business is down,

Maybe you could explain to me
why, over the past year or so,

You ordered three times
more embalming fluid

Than in previous years.

Are you aware that
embalming fluid is a mixture

Of ethanol, methanol,
and formaldehyde--

The ingredients
in the drug wet?

I did not know that.

We've been curious how
our local drug dealers

Have been able to put
so much out on the street.

You care to venture
any theories?

I wouldn't know
where to begin.

Your father figured out
what you were doing.

He confronted you.

There was a struggle.

He bit you

On your right calf.

Devalos:
I, for one, appreciate
everything your father did

To help the men and women
that serve this city.

That's why, provided
you enter a guilty plea

And make a full confession,

I'm prepared to
discuss a deal

With whoever you hire
to represent you,

Or if you insist on
doing it the hard way,

I'll simply have detective
scanlon here arrest you,

And once your calf has been
examined for a bite mark,

Well, then... Then
your fate will lie

In the hands
of the jury.

 

He asked me to meet him
at my mother's grave.

 

And he told me that
he knew everything.

 

(quavering):
He said my mama

Would have been
ashamed of me.

 

Marie:
Those are all eggs?

Yep.

Did you know that
a tarantula can lay

Up to 2,000
eggs at a time?

They're not going

To hatch here,
are they?

No, probably not.

I called miss colletto
as soon as I found them,

And she says
that she's going

To take 'em
to the pet store tomorrow

And make sure
they all get good homes.

It's what miss scarlet
would have wanted.

(allison cackles)

You two ready
for a little trick-or-treating?

Okay, you're a witch,
I get that, but dad,

What are you
supposed to be?

I'm a nerd.

Ariel, honey,
we're going to see you later.

We're taking off.

Ariel:
Hold on!

(footsteps
approaching)

Wow.

(laughs)

(laughs)

Johnny (over television):
It was from right over there.

Just promise me
we won't go anywhere

Where we might see
someone I know.

Allison:
We'll try not to.

Joe:
Hey, are those my boots?

Hmm, did anyone remember
to turn off the tv?

Johnny:
You used to really
get scared here.

Barbara:
Johnny.

You're still afraid.

Barbara:
Stop it now, I mean it.

Johnny:
They're coming to get you,
allison.

Barbara:
Stop it, you're ig...

(rewinding)

 

They're coming
to get you, barbara.

(turns off tv)
yeah, that's what
I thought you said.
