Here you go.

You sure you don't want me to wait?

No, thanks. I'll walk back.

Georgie.

How could I have forgotten?

I'm so sorry

Take

your pick Billy boy

Except for the one on the end

that's already taken.

Sorry

I remember you and I remember we beat you.

I'm not afraid of you.

I know how old I look.

Just I remember you as a kid.

Welcome home, Bill.

I only wish you was under happier.

Come on, let's go out.

It occurred to me in there that I didn't need to create any more paranoia than we

already have here. I got a taste of it myself earlier.

Well, at least people seem to care now.

Or maybe it's just that I'm a grown-up now.

I feel so thick, Mike. I don't remember much of it at all. Well, we did.

I don't even remember why I came back, except for Georgie.

I'll bet it doesn't all come back at once.

How come you remember?

I never learned. How could I forget?

All I do is look on the street corner. There we were.

Seven of us. Lucky seven.

Oh, man, that just came back.

Something else.

One of us lived around here.

Right.

There. Right down the street.

Her father.

She was poor. Her father was the janitor. This was poor town.

Yeah, still is.

Yours?

Hey, I'm a bachelor, Bill.

It's all I need.

It's clean, and better yet, it's paid for.

Getting hungry?

Frankly, I haven't had an appetite since you called.

I've arranged dinner tonight for all of us.

Have you seen any of the others? Nope.

But I've had a feeling all afternoon.

I could tell whenever one of us hit town.

I don't think we're all here yet.

No.

You too?

Whatever it is, it's powerful stuff.

Yeah, well, here's to remembering.

What?

Maybe this will stimulate those old memory banks a little.

Yep, I ran across in the pawn shop about a year ago.

I don't know, something made me buy it.

It's got a flat tire, but that's all that's wrong with it.

But here's the real kicker.

I bought this two-bit pair kit on impulse about three months before I saw

this bike.

There was some kind of force guiding us that summer.

I don't know if it came just to help us or if we created it, but maybe, maybe

it's still here.

I'm gonna change clothes.

I get mugged driving up and down the same old street. I gotta find a new

place where the kids are hit. But I'm very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

very, very, very,

very, very, very, very, very,

Mike Hammond.

He stepped out a short while ago.

I'm pretty sure he's coming back.

Good.

I'm gonna sit here. I'm gonna wait.

Careful.

Come here, Tosha. Get a grip.

Wait!

You look like you could use this.

It's just water.

for you, isn't she, Richie?

Beep, beep, Richie. I didn't hear that.

I didn't.

I beg your pardon?

Come on up, Richie.

I got a balloon for you.

Don't you want a balloon?

What's the matter? One balloon, not enough?

Try a pinch!

Is everything alright?

Yes! Last chance, Tosha! Get up! Before it gets dark tonight!

You're too old to stop me. You're all too old.

Mike Hanlon, if you see... Excuse me, sir.

Do you have Prince Albert in a can? You do?

Well, you better let the poor guy out.

Mike Hanlon, should I have to go?

Should I have to get cleaned up?

Tell him.

Tell him.

Tell him?

Runs away!

I'm holding you so tight.

Son of a gun.

Not just any cards.

Bicycle. They always made the best noise.

Bill?

I see... I see it.

All right, friend, you follow up on this Miller thing. I'll call Todd myself.

What about the engineer's report?

What? What's that?

You're breaking up, friend.

I can't.

I'll call you from the hotel.

Pull

over

here, will you?

Wait for me.

You okay, buddy?

My knee.

Lucky for me you had that hanky thing.

Be prepared.

Why don't you just keep it?

I think I'll be okay now.

Hang tough, champ. You're gonna make it.

Hanscom.

It's nice to see you again.

What have you been up to all these years?

We can't wait to get you down here with us.

You're in my mind.

Only in my mind.

Any spare change, mister?

Hey, who walked all over your grave?

I wasn't going to hurt you.

I don't even know you.

Darien, did you say?

Yeah.

Reliving your childhood down there.

Something like that. Just saying hi to...

Some old ghost, you know.

Oh, hell.

Time does go by.

Here's that prescription.

How old are you now, son?

Eleven. Almost twelve.

Old enough.

Come with me.

Now relax, Eddie. I'm not going to bite you.

You know, most of your troubles come from you being so tight and stiff all

the time. You take your asthma, for instance.

Do you know what a placebo is, Eddie?

I gotta go.

It's water, Eddie.

Water with a squirt of camphor to make it taste like medicine.

No. Your doctor is weak and your mother is determined that you're ill. And you,

my friend, are caught in the middle.

It's all a lie, a great big lie.

I do have asthma, I do.

Sir?

Your prescription?

Nothing like a good pull on the old lung sucker, huh?

Thank you.

Junior, bring me a cigar.

You know you can't have one, Grandad.

Mr. Keene?

Mr. Keene, hello.

Cigar for the old man?

I'm sorry, I don't have any.

I'm Eddie Kasprack, Sonia Kasprack's son.

How about some licorice?

I was always partial to licorice.

Mr. Keene, I just wanted to...

Thank you for trying to tell me the truth a long time ago.

You look a little peaked, sonny.

I better go.

Hydrox.

What?

H2O.

Water.

It's only water.

It's all in your head, sonny.

You do remember me.

Oh, Mr. Keene. Mr.

Keene? Get out of Derry while you still can.

Mr. Keene, please.

Beware, little Eddie.

Beware, girly boy.

No cigars, sonny. I was always partial to liquor.

I'm sorry. I must have rung the wrong bell. I was looking for Marsh. Marsh?

Yes. There's no Marsh here.

Honest, you don't mean Alvin Marsh.

Yes, my father.

Who, miss?

I hate to be the one to have to tell you this, a stranger, but your father's been

dead this last five years.

But on the bell, it... Oh, Kirsch. I

thought it said Marsh.

I'm Mrs. Kirsch.

I knew your father a little.

Come in.

Let me give you tea. No, no, I couldn't. You could and you will, I insist.

Feel free to look around.

Perhaps you'd like to freshen up.

Tea. Tea would be nice.

I love what you've done with the place.

It's so different.

So cozy.

How kind you are, miss.

I call all the pretty young girls miss. Don't take offense.

Oh, no.

Well, go on, dear.

Drink it while it's nice and hot.

Don't trouble your pretty little head, dear.

I'll get it.

You did say mosh on the doorbell.

If you're wise, you'll run, dear, run.

Because to stay will mean worse than your death.

They float down there.

They float.

I worry about you, Bevy.

I worry a lot.

Hopefully you're any good to run, Bevy.

Ha ha ha.

I told you the first time you introduced me to him that he was a twit, Audra. Do

you remember?

Greco, I didn't ask you over to insult Bill. How dare he do this to me?

Oh, come on. You've been complaining about him ever since we started this

picture. He'll never work in movies again. I suppose you know that.

If you could have seen his face, it was frightening.

Nothing like a little crisis to bring the estranged couple closer together,

eh?

Or perhaps pull them farther apart if the gods are smiling.

Greco, please.

I'm simply pointing out that this could be a blessing in disguise.

Would you consider giving me a few days?

I shall pretend I didn't hear that, Audra.

I can replace your imbecilic husband. I cannot replace you.

Don't even think about leaving, Audra.

You've worked very hard to get where you are. Very hard.

I know you'd do nothing to jeopardize that.

Or to damage our professional.

relationship or to turn a friend overnight into a violent enemy ready to

crucify you at any cost but there's no need to

talk about that

International reservations, please.

Yes, I'd like a seat on your next flight to the United States.

Excuse me, I'm looking for the Hamelin party.

Eddie? Ben?

Eddie Kasprick. Hey, Stack.

Hey, what happened to the rest of you? Gone but not forgotten. Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Where's Richie Tozier when you need a good line?

Ben. I'm afraid so, Bill. I can't believe it. Look at you.

Hey, Bill.

Oh, God.

Oh, my God.

Mike, is that you?

Hey, such as I am. Hey, Stack.

Hey, listen, who wants a drink?

Set him up, right? I'll have one.

That's my dog, man.

I've clubbed soda, okay? This is pretty good.

Come on, Tosha.

Don't let him see you like this. Get a grip, man. It was a hallucination. It

was a flashback deal. It was too much fun in 67.

Just get a hold.

You're working too hard, kid.

Jeez, you guys.

I got a toast.

I propose to... All right, who got bald and who got wrinkled and how many

children got wings?

Beep, beep, Richie.

Richie, beep, beep.

What

a

bunch of handsome old men.

Hi, good-looking.

Oh, Richie.

Oh.

Eddie. I'd rather catch you than anybody else in the whole world, Beverly Mark.

Oh.

I just saw all of you standing there, and so much came flooding back. It was

like a tidal wave.

What are we getting ourselves into?

Oh, I'm so proud of you.

Where's...

You

all right, Beth?

Yes.

No, I... I saw something today.

Same here for you. Oh, man.

What I saw at the library.

Whoa! Was it Pennywise?

Both barrels it was Pennywise. He's working on us already.

Trying to chip away.

Maybe that means he's afraid.

It.

It's afraid.

Oh, man.

It. Help us remember, Mike. Help us fill in the gaps.

Yeah, please, because I don't know what you guys are talking about.

I can't remember much of anything, and when I try, it kind of clouds over.

I mean...

Can you feel it?

As soon as I crossed the county line, it was like this veil dropped over my eyes.

Maybe it's the water.

The water? Maybe it's the sewer.

This is battery acid, you slime!

I think I remember who Pennywise was now.

Big white guy, red nose, about 75 feet tall, mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.

Oh, Eddie.

What the hell is happening, you guys?

I mean, what is going on?

I'm sorry.

It was just a very vivid memory.

I'd forgotten it. I stared that creep right in the face.

And you saved Stan's life.

You remember that part?

Yeah.

Yeah, now I do.

Hey, speaking of Stan. Stan!

Stan!

Where is his royal straightness, anyway? He wouldn't think out on us, would he,

Mike? You talked to him, right?

Yeah. I think he'll be along.

I think we ought to go ahead without him.

When he gets here, we can fill him in. Come on, Mike, talk to us. Help us

remember. Wait a minute. I don't know about you guys, but this is the first

time since I got here that I feel good. I mean, I feel halfway safe.

Come on.

Let's have a couple of drinks, huh?

Chew on some good food, have a couple of chucks, and let's just leave the wolf

out the door, huh? Spoken like a real loser, Richie.

Hey, hey.

To the loser's club.

All right. To the loser's club.

Say it's all right. It's all right.

Say it's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Have a good time.

Cause it's all right. Whoa, it's all right. We're gonna move it slow.

When lights are low.

When you move it slow.

It sounds like a moan. And it's all right. Whoa, it's all right. Now listen

to the beat.

Kind of pat your feet.

You've got soul.

And everybody knows that it's all right. Whoa, it's all right. Everybody

knows that it's all right. How many times have you been to the altar,

Richie? Oh, four or five.

Who the hell keeps count?

Women all want the same thing, no offense, Bev. None taken, creep.

Welcome to the fourth century.

How about you, Benny Mary?

Nope, I've dodged the bullet a number of times now, though.

How about you, Eddie?

Me? Uh, well, yeah, I'm seeing this really wonderful woman, but with the

business and all, I really don't have too much time.

You take it from me, spaghetti man, better dead than wet.

Any little crumb snatches for you, Richie?

None that I know of.

How about you, babe?

What?

How about you?

Oh, um, well, I live with a... No, I'm not married.

Well, Richie, whatever happened to those glasses?

Contact lens.

Richie, for the number of times he broke those glasses of yours, you should have

had stock in an adhesive tape company.

Yeah, me and Henry Bowers.

Henry Bowers.

Somebody please tell me he was hit by a freight train and put out of his misery.

No such luck. You want to see Henry Bowers, you'll find him up at Juniper

Hills. Ever since the trial, where he confessed to all the murders of all the

children. He was down there with us, down there in the sewage room. That

creep was gonna kill Stan.

He was gonna kill us all.

I remember when they pulled him out, his hair had turned white. He was babbling

about a bright light. And a clown.

No one believed.

Except when he said he killed all the kids.

And we didn't say anything.

Not a word.

But it was the killer.

And we stopped it.

We thought we did.

Henry.

Henry Bowers.

Up here, shop stuff.

Up here.

You helped me once, remember?

You chased those brats.

Almost got him, Henry.

Almost.

Don't you want another chance?

You gotta go back and finish the job.

You gotta go back to Derry and kill them all.

For me.

Henry, kill them all.

Henry, kill them all.

Kill them all. Kill them all.

Kill them all.

Kill them all.

Well, sports fans, this has been a real hoot.

But I got a plane out at 6 a.m. Richie, you're not leaving.

Bev, girl, what do you want, an adventure?

You got some high-toned idea that you're gonna go relive that old nightmare? I

love you, but count me...

I'm going to the hotel.

I'm going to get some sleep. And in the morning, I get on a plane, and I'm out

of here forever.

Richie, I will remember all of you very fondly.

Hey, man, we're all scared. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Maybe he's right.

I mean, if you were talking about going back into the sewer... We don't know

what we're talking about yet, mainly because we haven't talked about it yet.

Yeah, suppose we give Mike a chance to fill us in before we scatter to the four

winds. Is that too much trouble, Richie? All I'm saying is I'm gonna go get some

sleep. Is that too much to ask? Well, why don't we show Michael a little

courtesy? Guys, guys, come on.

It's all right, Ben. If Richie wants to go, he goes.

Now, we all came here based on the strength of a promise.

As far as I'm concerned, everybody at this table made good on that promise.

Wherever we go from here...

No expectations.

Well said, Michael.

It's all right. He's taking care of Richie.

No, hey. You can't do that. Guys, that's just the way it is.

All right, then.

A toast to Mr. Michael Hanlon, the man without whom none of this would have

been necessary.

See my fortune now.

You're going to be eaten by a big, greasy monster.

Have a nice day.

Stummy up, everybody.

What is it? What's wrong?

Is something the matter?

Our friend had an asthma attack, but he's better now.

Much better.

Thank you.

Thank you. Everything was okay?

Everything was fine. Very fine.

Thank you.

I'm not so sleepy anymore.

Let's get the hell out of here.

Jake!

Is

this

the Uris residence?

You stand there.

This is Mike Hanlon, an old friend.

What are we supposed to do now?

Hey, spaghetti man, no problem. A little soap, a little elbow grease, I'll clean

it right up.

Why are we the only ones that can see this?

Well, now, there you got me stumped. Let's ask the answer man. Oh, Mike.

Oh, Michelle.

Got us home.

Hold on just a sec. Hello, Stan?

Oh, Mike Hanlon.

Is this the Uris residence?

I'm trying to get a hold of Stan Uris.

You tell that loser that if he hasn't left already, he's a dead man. We all

managed to show up. Boy, that matches your real hair. Has anyone ever told

you? Anyone from out of town?

I don't know about you. I just flew in from LA, boy. And boy, is my tail

section tired.

Yeah, not a chance. We're hot tonight. It's great to be back in Derry,

breathing in that old Derry air.

I have never felt so much love in one room in my entire life.

Eddie, get all their names. I want to put them on my Christmas mailer. No,

Denborough there. Let's put him on my Norman mailer.

I love this man. I love this man. He's like the brother I never had.

Wait a minute. He is the brother I never had.

Beep, beep, Richie.

Stan?

Thank you.

Stan is dead.

He cut his wrist in the bathtub.

right after I phoned him.

Stan was the last one of us to see it that summer.

Remember? All summer long, he kept saying that just isn't empirically

possible.

Even seeing the clown didn't make it real for him.

Nothing did until that afternoon in August.

I remember I was coming down Chestnut Street, and I saw Stan running through

the park.

like something was after him.

Go, go!

Go! Hi-yo, Silver!

Away!

I can't honestly say I saw anything that day. Stan's the one who saw it.

I was peddling too fast to turn around, and I didn't want to see it, whatever it

was.

I took him hours to calm down enough to tell me what happened.

He said he was down in Lampkin Park by a bird feeder, watching birds.

Like a good Boy Scout.

Remember? He used to call it collecting birds.

He said he didn't mean to go into that house, but his voice kept whispering to

him. And naturally, being Stan, he figured there was a rational

explanation.

Hello?

Stanley.

Yeah?

I'm right here.

He was trapped.

The only thing he could think of to do was to hold his bird book out in front

of him like a shield and say as loud as he could the names of all the birds he

could remember. Long-necked fish, speckled grouse, Baltimore Oriole,

gray egret, hammerhead, woodpecker, brown thrush.

Brown thrush?

The day that we went into the sewer, Stan saw it.

Face to face.

Not the clown, but he saw what was behind the clown.

He ran up to me in school, and he said, I saw it, Eddie.

I looked right into its... some kind of lights.

I looked right into its deadlights.

Then he said, and I hadn't thought of it until just now, I swear, he said, I

looked into its deadlights, and I wanted to be there. Deadlights.

I need a drink.

Yeah, me too.

Oh, sure, I've got something here.

Anybody else? Yeah.

Stay. Sorry I'm late. Well, let's see who's here.

Billy Boy.

Richie, you still here? We never expected you to stick around. Nice nose

job. No one would ever suspect.

Haystock. Putting on a little weight, huh?

Speaking of dads, Bevy, yours isn't worried about you anymore. He loves your

choice in men.

Wheezy, how's your sex life?

What's your sex life?

Well, Mikey, you did it. You got us all back here. I guess it's because it's the

only way you'd ever see us. Since you're so lame, you'd never leave this town.

I finally made it, guys.

I'm in the deadlights now.

And you know what? It's true what they say.

We all float down here, and you will too. In fact, they all float.

They all...

LOVED

the rest of you, but I am getting really sick of this place. Now, I will listen

to anything anybody has to say, but could we do it someplace else?

Please! Okay, just help me with this stuff.

Bill?

What is it?

He... Rust is...

He thrusts his fist against the post and still insists he sees the ghosts.

That's all it says over and over and over again.

My mom gave me that to say to... to help with

my stutter.

No offense, pal.

It ain't helping.

Let's get the hell out of here. What do you say?

Henry!

Down here, Henry.

Belch, what are you doing down there?

You got a problem in there you need some help with, Henry?

That's a good boy.

You don't have to talk out loud, Henry.

I can hear you when you just think it.

And they can't hear me at all.

What do you want, Belch?

Same thing you want.

I want to pay them back.

Yeah.

Pay them back.

But you're going to have to get out of here.

You're going to have to go back to Derry.

I need you, Henry.

We all, we all need you.

They can't hurt you.

We didn't think they could hurt us back then either, but they did, didn't they?

Bested you all summer. Don't talk about that.

I can take care of them if they only half believe.

But you, you're alive, Henry.

You can get them no matter if they believe, half believe, or don't believe

at all.

I can't get out of here.

They got wires on the windows, and Koontz is on the door tonight. Man,

Koontz is the worst.

I hate him.

I'll take care of Koontz, Henry.

Lead the way, Henry.

Lead the way.

All right, dog meat, I've had it. Your head's gonna be bouncing off the floor.

of this stuff, Mike. Thank you very much for thinking about me and including it

just in case. Jake, but none for me. Thank you very much. Richie. What?

You're shouting. I know.

Beep, beep, Richie.

Beep, beep.

Talk to us, Mike. Tell us stories.

Tell us things so we don't have to remember what we just saw in the

library.

Hey,

come on, pal.

Don't let it get you. Fight it.

I saw myself today. You know, I saw myself back there.

I know it's just camp for water. I know that, but I need it anyway.

Take it easy, pal.

If it works, Eddie, it's good medicine.

You've always believed in it. That's all that ever mattered. Thanks.

I'm sure by now you all remember what was going on in Derry 30 years ago.

There was a rash of killings, maimings, disappearances, mostly children.

Everybody was afraid, but nobody did anything.

until we went after him.

And we almost killed him.

Henry Burroughs confessed to everything and the killing stopped until earlier

this year, exactly 30 years later.

Now, the first thing you should know is if you count backwards in 30-year

increments, every date you come to will correspond to a huge disaster in Dury's

history. In 1960, the big fire at the Black Spot Club.

In 1930, the explosion down at the old ironworks. In 1900, the massacre at

Dredge Creek, and on and on.

The biggest mystery is how 253 settlers just disappeared without a trace.

Thank you, Michael, for that illuminating, if somewhat morbid,

history. She didn't want to know.

You knew all about this even then.

Miss Douglas didn't want to know.

It's a disease, Beth.

The dairy disease, none of them wants to know.

It's too horrible, so they act like it doesn't even happen.

I remember a man, Mr. Ross.

He was on his front porch.

I was coming home from school.

Henry Bowers was waiting right outside my house.

I saw Mr. Ross across the street.

He looked so concerned.

I thought he was going to help me, but...

I couldn't believe it. He just turned around and went inside.

That was when it really hit me. There was something terribly wrong in Derry,

with Derry.

How did you get out of that, Bev?

Daddy came home.

One of the only times I was ever really glad to see him.

So, it's 30 years later.

And right on schedule, the killings start up again. Six so far, maybe more.

There have been a number of disappearances with no trace of a body.

Now, I wanted to be absolutely certain before I called anyone.

And I became absolutely certain when I found something at the latest crime

site.

God, that was just yesterday.

Anyway, this is it.

Georgie?

For whatever reason, there's something very special about us being together.

We found each other that summer, and our togetherness made us strong.

Otherwise, it would have picked us off one by one.

I mean, think about it. Is it an accident that none of us have kids,

including Stan?

Or that when we came together as young people, we were, well, we were all

losers?

Now look at you.

Six of you left Dara and became unusually successful.

Big-time breadwinners. Leaving you here holding the bag. Yeah, you kept the

lighthouse for the rest of us. I feel like a real jerk about that. Me too.

It's nobody's fault.

Our parents decided who stayed and who went.

And when I grew up, I stayed here because I wanted to.

I think you stayed because you had to.

I don't know what's going to happen when the sun comes up, but I do know that I

appreciate what you've done for everyone.

Evening. You're up late.

How much farther is Derry?

Oh, I guess about maybe 500 yards. See the limits.

Oh, thank God.

I nearly fell asleep a while ago. I feel like I've been driving forever.

Why don't you just cross the old bridge down there at the Barron's and hang a

left? The Barron's?

Yes, where they used to play when they were kids.

Thank you.

I'll be going now.

Don't you want your balloon first, Miss Denborough?

Don't you want it?

Don't you want it?

Don't you want it?

Don't you want it?

Don't you want it?

Don't you want it?

Don't you want it?

Don't you want it?

They chased me up the hall, past the lockers, they got me down and they

started slapping me.

And the coach found me lying there. I was crying. I thought he was going to

help me.

But instead, he just made fun of me, and something inside snapped. I got mad. I

said, coach, you coach track, right? And he sort of sneered at me and nodded. And

I said, well, you listen to me, you stone-brained son of a bitch. I'm going

to go out for the track team in March, and I'm going to run down everything you

got. I'm going to run down your best, and then I want to flip an apology from

you. All right.

And so you did it.

Yeah, I ran everywhere.

I mean, sometimes my heart felt like it was pounding so hard I was gonna pass

out. And the first time I ran a mile, I puked, then fainted.

But finally, I was holding up my pants as I ran. I mean, I ate salads like

there was no tomorrow. And by March, I lost 70 pounds and I had grown two

inches. Every time I ran, I felt like I could fly. And you went out for... I

went out for track. Just like I said, I... First day I was out there...

I won the 220 and the 440. I just blew away the coach's best guys. After

practice, I walked right up to the coach, and I asked for that apology. He

was so furious, he hit me.

No, after all that? It was perfect.

Oh, you beat him. And everybody knew it.

I graduated from El Paso High with a letter in track, and the coach lost his

job over that little love tap.

That's great, Ben. You ought to write that one down.

Bill's our writer.

I just write horror stories.

You know, we still haven't talked about what we're going to do, if we're going

to do anything.

Thank you, Mikey.

Listen, kids, this campfire stuff is fun. It really is. But it doesn't matter

how painstakingly we go over these sewer plans or how many damn flashlights or

helmets you got in that box. When the sun comes up, I'm dust. And I would

suggest that the rest of you follow me and get the hell out of Dodge.

I cleaned it up once.

What?

The blood.

I cleaned the whole thing up that very same night.

I decided if I was ever going to sleep in this house again, I'd have to know

the truth to see if anyone besides me could see the blood.

What happened in here?

Did somebody get murdered?

You see it?

You really see it?

Come on, let's clean this up.

Until that moment, I thought I was going crazy. It was so strange to be happy

about something so grim.

I fell in love with all you guys that day.

And after we cleaned it up, the blood never came back.

It'll be morning soon.

I'm cold.

Me too.

I'll get you something.

Well, there's a shawl in the room. Well, give me your room key.

I'll get it.

Richie, do you have a key?

All right, now listen up. Stay together, guys. No stragglers.

Just get the first thing you find. I need to stretch my legs anyway.

Ken, don't go alone.

I need a refill anyway.

I'll join you.

I'll take care of it. Okay, we meet back here in three minutes. No more. Keep

your doors open.

Hello, nigger.

We'll pay you back.

Someone will pay you all back.

Oh, good, you found it.

I'm glad we're alone for a minute.

I've been wanting to say something to you.

Your hair is winter fire, January embers.

My heart burns there, too. It was you.

I've been waiting a long time to thank the poet.

Did you ask Bill first? No.

I knew it was you.

I've always known it was you.

I think I must have been waiting, been waiting until we were both ready.

I'm ready now are you?

Don't kiss me fat boy!

Melt.

If Mike dies, there will be five of us left.

Who comes next?

Which one of us?

Why is it doing this?

Why does it hate?

Why is it so mean?

I want to tell you something.

You remember what my father was like.

I fell in love with a man who turned out to be everything I always hated in my

father.

Why would I do that?

How could I be so blind?

If you see it now, you're not blind anymore, Bev.

Congratulations. That's a miracle.

Besides, at least you fell in love with somebody.

At least you felt something.

That's a miracle, too.

You have the heart of a poet, Beth.

Your hair is winter fire.

Why'd you say that?

You wrote it, didn't you?

Your hair is winter fire, January embers, something.

When I was young, I thought it was Bill, but it was you, wasn't it? Damn it, Bev.

Is that you in there? Is that the clown?

I don't know what the hell is going on. How am I supposed to know? It's me.

It's me.

Mike's gonna be okay. Can we see him?

He's not out of the woods yet.

I guess one of you could go in for just a minute.

Mike?

Everyone else is right outside.

It's dead.

Police? Not yet.

Be careful.

You can't trust anyone.

If anybody asks, if the party got out of hand, dancing on the table, you took a

fall.

Anyone who's seen me dance will buy that.

What are you gonna do?

I don't know, man.

I honestly do not know.

My jacket. Outside pocket.

Hey, it's silver. It can kill it.

But we left these down in the... You went back?

I was pretty sure I was asleep.

Pretty sure?

You went alone?

Ten years ago, my life was going downhill.

It was also suicide.

I think I really wanted it to wake up and kill me.

It took me all day stumbling around in the dark.

I found one right away in the drain trap.

The other one, the one that hit Pennywise, was lodged in the crack in

the wall.

I figured we might need that kind of help again one day.

When I came out, I kind of got my life together.

The only change was this.

Almost overnight.

If you decide not to use those, if you leave, I'll understand.

People, that is a dead body.

You're not seriously suggesting we walk out of here and leave it lying there.

Yeah, that's what I'm suggesting. I think we ought to call the police. I

think Eddie's right.

You don't understand. This whole town is it in some way, all of them.

Bill's right.

If we call the police, get the town involved, something bad's going to

happen to one of us, maybe all of us.

All right, have it your way.

Stan is dead. Mike came close. I've seen enough.

I'm with you, boy.

You can put this behind you just like that.

I am a little old for monster hunting, Bill.

So was Mike.

So was Stan.

Is that how you feel, Ben?

I don't know how I feel. All I know is I can't stay in this room much longer, so

I... I suggest we just turn on the TV, hang a Do Not Disturb sign on the door,

go outside, then figure out what to do.

I second that.

Police Chief Andrew Rademacher of the downtown branch said the victim, five

-year-old Danielle Huxton, had been playing at the creek near her home.

Local authorities have not yet said whether there might be a connection

between this and a recent rash of disappearances involving young children.

They did reveal, however, that the body was severely mutilated.

In other news tonight, a series of robberies in the East End has local

officials baffled.

I'd appreciate it if you just put that on my card and send me a receipt.

Oh, certainly, Mr. Hanson. Me too, thank you.

It's fine, loads of fun. You gotta go. Bye.

Need a ride, Bill?

Where you going, Richie?

Airport. I guess we are too, Bill. Come with us.

I just saw something.

And I have no idea if it was real.

If any of you would have seen it or not.

I can't go.

Because if I do, I'm going to live with this until I go insane.

Until I can't tell the difference between my life and my bad dreams.

For years, I've been getting paid to scare people.

But I'm the one who's been scared.

All my life.

I don't want to be scared anymore.

I'm going back in.

This time, I'm going to kill it.

Help me.

Help me.

Please help me.

I don't suppose anybody thought to bring anything really useful like a machine

gun. I brought this. It's the only thing I saved from those days.

Remember, you were a dead shot, Bev. You couldn't miss.

It was like it was supposed to be Bev, remember?

You hit the clown Pennywise in the head, it broke open. And underneath it was a

light. Bright lights.

Dead lights. We saw them too for a second. Bev?

Bill? How on earth? Mike went back down and got them.

These are for him and for Stan.

Lucky seven. We're all here now.

Oh, come on. Guys, what the hell are you gonna do now? Sing kumbaya?

Wake up. Take a breath.

You smell that?

That's death.

It's not for Mike. It's not for Stan. It's not for Henry Bowers. It's for us.

It's in the air.

Losers fight it.

Losers die.

And you know that, don't you, Captain?

You don't have to go down there, Richie.

Right. I didn't have to get on a plane in L.A. I didn't have to go to the

dinner. I sure as hell didn't have to come out here, and now I don't have to

go in.

I still say we should have brought a machine gun.

I remember the first thing I saw down here was one of those damn pom-poms.

She followed me and my, my form.

I told you. Bill, that's enough. If she is down here, there's only one way you

can help her.

Now, you know what we came down here for, and we're going to do it. Now, we

need you.

We need you to stand up for us like before or none of us is going to get out

of here.

Stay close together.

Looks like we're off the map.

I think you... That way.

We're here.

Oh, my God. The roots all grow down.

Yeah. The walls cracked, remember?

It came.

Dear God, please don't let these things come to life. Don't you even think that,

Spaghetti Man? I told you not to call me Spaghetti Man. I think something's

coming.

My boat.

Georgie. It's all your fault.

Georgie. All your fault, Bill.

You sent me out and it killed me.

No. No, Georgie, I didn't... I didn't know. Bill, remember, that's not

Georgie. Remember, fight it.

It was in the drain, Bill.

It was in the drain. And you let it kill me.

No.

I loved you. Damn it, Bill. That thing's not your brother. Come on, man. Fight

it.

You're not George.

George is dead.

And it's not my fault.

You killed my brother George, you bastard.

Let's see you now.

Let's see you now.

Show yourself.

You killed my little brother.

And now you're gonna pay.

Why are you still?

Last chance.

Show yourself.

Silly boy.

You still think you can see me?

You'll never see me.

You'll see only what your little mind can allow.

Don't! Now.

For if you stay, you'll lose your little mind.

Like all the others.

Like all the others.

Bill,

man, we can't fight that thing.

It's like trying to fight smoke.

Mike was trying to tell us.

It feeds, Richie.

It wakes up every 30 years and it feeds.

And in order to feed, it has to take on some kind of physical form.

Be five fo' thumb.

You think we're strong enough? We have to be. I have to tell you guys something

before we go in there. Eddie?

I've been lying.

About what?

When I said that I was seeing someone.

Well, I'm not.

In fact, I haven't ever... I mean, I've never even been with anyone.

Eddie, Eddie, what are you saying? You're a virgin?

Yeah.

Well, I can't help you with that pal, but thanks for sharing Richie let him

talk You see I could never sleep with somebody that I

didn't love and I've never really loved anyone

Except you guys

Wait for us, buddy. It's Audrey. I'm gonna get her.

Please, dear God.

He thrusts his fists against the posts and

still insists he sees the ghosts.

I believe in Santa Claus.

I believe in the Easter Bunny.

I believe in the Tooth Fairy.

But I don't believe in you.

This is battery acid.

Now you disappear.

my skin.

Nice shot, man.

Don't you talk. Don't talk. You're gonna be fine, Spaghetti Man.

Richie, please.

For the last time, don't call me that.

This isn't over.

That thing comes back when I'm 70.

Let's finish it. Once and for all.

It's all coming down.

I guess that's how I'd like to remember us, if I could remember us.

Standing there by the lake, the sun going down on our childhood.

This will be my last entry. I got it in just in time.

Just before the fog in my brain swept all my memories away entirely.

Now, just weeks later, I look back on that time, not from memory, but from the

pages of this book.

The nightmare is over. What little police involvement there was, was brief

and cursory, as is always the case here in Derry.

Now that there is no further need for a lighthouse keeper, well, I feel I may

move on. See whatever's down the road a piece.

As of this writing, Richie is still knocking them dead.

He's got a part in a movie.

574, take 18, Mark.

He co-stars with another comic, a guy any of the lucky seven could have told

you looks and acts a lot like Eddie Casper.

Ben and Bev left Derry together, headed west.

After a week, they were married. A few weeks later, they were pregnant.

Another curse broken.

Bill and Audra are still here.

I wish the news were better, but Audra's condition is unchanged.

They're leaving today.

Okay, Audra.

It's time to go.

Bill thought the time here, the time away from his work, might somehow help.

But I guess Audra's gone for good.

One of its many casualties.

Locked in that haunted place where she saw its dead lights.

Bill has been good to visit every day. We laugh about our failing memories.

We sometimes have to ask each other's names now.

His sadness is profound. I wish there was something I could do.

Something I could have done.

Wait.

Audra, this bike saved little Stan's life once.

Mine too.

We were going so fast, I think we beat the devil.

I don't know if I can go that fast again.

Hold on.

Beat it beat it beat it beat it Audra beat it beat it

Bill? Yes.

Bill, run.

Yes, it's okay. What are we doing? It's okay. Hang on.

Just hang on. It's okay.
