All language subtitles for David Cronenberg - The Dead Zone - English with German Subs

"And the raven, never flitting,

still is sitting, still is sitting

on the pallid bust of Pallas

just above my chamber door.

And his eyes have all the seeming

of the demons that he's dreaming.

And the lamp light o'er him streaming

throws his shadow on the floor.

And my soul, from out that shadow,

that lies floating on the floor

shall be lifted nevermore."

Pretty good, huh?

Okay.

I want you to read "The
Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

You're gonna like it.

It's about a school teacher

who gets chased by a headless demon.

Hi.

Can teachers be expelled
for kissing in the hallway?

They get fired.

Thank God it's Friday.

You sound like my students.

Why don't you carry my books?

I hope you haven't made
plans for this afternoon.

Oo, where are we going?

It's a surprise.

You okay?

What's wrong?

I don't know.

It didn't used to bother me.

Enjoy the ride, folks?

That's it, take it away.

Do you want to come in?

I'd better not.

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

I had a wonderful time.

Are you sure you don't wanna come in?

You could spend the night here.

Better not.

Some things are worth waiting for.

My books?

Johnny, wait!

I'm so crazy about you.

I'm gonna marry you, you know?

You better.

Drive carefully.

I will.

Where's Intensive Care?

Johnny?

Johnny, don't leave me, please.

Johnny, you're gonna get
better, I know you are.

Can you hear me?

We're gonna get married, Johnny.

Don't leave me.

Hello, John.

My name's Weizak.

I'm Dr. Sam Weizak.

I'm the director of this clinic.

You've been our guest for awhile.

Guest?

Funny way of putting it.

How do you feel?

My throat hurts.

Try a bit of water.

Come.

Hey, slow down.

Not so fast, slow down.

You've been involved in a
terrible traffic accident.

Do you remember?

Am I okay?

Well, you've been
smashed up pretty badly.

What is it?

No bandages.

How come?

Your parents are here.

They're right next door.

I'm going to bring them in now.

Is that okay?

Sure.

Come in.

Hi, Mom, Dad.

John.

Oh, Johnny.

Johnny, Johnny.

It's a miracle, John.

I know.

I was lucky.

Look, not a scratch.

The Lord has delivered
you from your trance.

Remember what we discussed, Mrs. Smith.

What is she talkin' about?

You've been in a coma,
Johnny, not a trance.

Coma?

For how long?

We're just glad to have you back, Son,

that's all that matters.

How long?

Dad, how long?

Five years.

Five long years, John.

Lost for five years,

and now reborn unto me.

Five years?

What about Sarah?

Cast her from your thoughts, Son.

She's turned her back on ya.

She cleaves now unto
another man, a husband.

Husband?

Amy.

Amy.

Amy.

Amy is my daughter's name.

Your daughter's screaming.

The house is burning.

Your daughter is in the house.

It's not too late.

Amy.

Amy!

Your daughter is screaming.

Amy's screaming.

It's not too late.

Your daughter's screaming.

Hurry up!

The first order of business

is getting your body back into shape.

Although you've been exercised regularly,

the ligaments have shortened
a little during the coma.

Am I gonna have to live in a wheelchair?

Not permanently, and not for very long,

not if I can help it.

I, uh, I won't deceive you, John.

Your therapy will be long and
painful, but you will walk.

Thank you.

The wolf is loose.

John, John, are you all right?

No match for them.

Horses, fire.

The boy is safe.

The boy is safe.

John!

John!

Are you all right, hm?

Tell me, what about the boy?

You keep saying, "The boy
is safe, the boy is safe."

What boy?

You, you're the boy.

I am the boy?

She saved you.

She's alive, Sam.

Who?

Your mother.

No, that is not possible, John.

She survived.

John, my mother is dead.

She's alive.

I know her name, I know where she lives.

But that is not possible, John.

How could you know that?

How...

I'm scared, Sam.

What's happening to me?

Hello?

- May I speak to...
- Yes?

Is Johanna there, please?

One moment.

Who is this, please?

Hello?

Hello, who is this, please?

Hello?

Well, you are either in possession

of a very new human
ability, or a very old one.

Yes?

Oh, over here will be fine.

Thank you.

We're trying to get you back

on your feet in a day or two.

Thanks.

This should help you

get some of your strength back.

What's on your mind, Sam?

You were right, John, about my mother.

I got the number from Information.

There it was right in the phone book.

Did you talk to her?

No, I didn't.

I, um...

She came to the phone, but
I just couldn't talk to her.

I hung up.

Why?

Because it wasn't meant to be.

It wasn't meant to be.

Chug, chug, chug.

Come on, keep it movin'.

Keep it movin', keep it movin', come on.

Weight down, knees up.

Keep it movin', keep it movin'.

Chug, chug.

That's it.

That's it?

After all I've done, that's what I get?

Eight lousy steps?

I counted 10.

I'd really like to see you
do some serious chuggin'.

I'm gonna take a run around the building.

- You stayin' here?
- Okay.

- Keep chuggin'?
- Okay.

See you when I get back.

Johnny?

They told me you were outside.

I am.

I didn't know if I should come or not.

It's all right.

You got your hair cut.

Oh, yeah, a long time ago.

You lost weight.

They call it coma diet,

lose weight while you sleep.

I guess you know I got married.

I heard that.

I think you'd like him.

You still teach?

Mothering's a full time job.

Kids, too?

I didn't know that.

I'm sorry.

I thought your father would have told you.

He's a wonderful little boy.

His name's Denny.

How old is he?

10 months.

I'm glad for you.

Please don't look at me like that.

What am I gonna do?

For you, five years have come and gone.

For me it's just like the next day.

My feelings haven't changed yet.

Oh, Johnny.

Why did it have to happen like this?

Bad luck.

I never should have
let you go that night.

It was my idea, remember?

What a jerk.

Everybody's talking about you.

You're the talk of the town.

'Cause I got my head bashed in

and I'm still here to talk about it?

Because you have the
power of second sight.

Is it true, Johnny?

The papers won't let up about it.

I keep thinking about
a line from a book,

it's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,"

the last thing I gave my class

to read before the accident.

Ichabod Crane disappears.

The line goes, "As he was a
bachelor and in nobody's debt,

nobody troubled their
head about him anymore."

Is that what you're afraid of?

That's what I want.

That's what I want.

I don't approve.

The press has been
hounding me since I woke up.

I wanna get it over with.

Once you've set something
like this in motion,

it seems to me you'll never
know where it will lead.

It's already in motion.

I just wanna stop it.

They went over there and put it out,

and that's all there is.

Clement Dardis, WJGE-TV.

What happened to the little girl?

I understand she's fine.

Well, would you call
this a psychic experience?

No, I would not.

Ever had one of these
experiences before?

No.

How 'bout a demonstration, John?

A what?

You know, a demonstration.

You got any predictions?

You think Greg Stillson is
gonna unseat Senator Proctor?

Who?

Greg Stillson.

Uh, thank you, Sir.

No more.

Hey, wait, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Well, how 'bout it, John?

How 'bout the election?

I don't even know who
you're talking about.

Well, you didn't know
anything about this nurse.

That was different.

Well, I touched her hand.

All right. All right!

Now, touch my hand.

Hey, John, touch my hand.

Tell me, is my house on fire, John?

Do you want me to stop this?

No, it's okay.

- Tell you about your house?
- Mm hm.

What do you wanna know?

You wanna know the future?

You wanna know if you're
gonna die, is that it?

You're gonna die, I'm gonna die.

You wanna know if you're
gonna die tomorrow.

Is that right?

You wanna know why your
sister killed herself.

All right.

Let go, let go.

It's not all right.

It's okay.

It's not okay.

Okay.

- I can tell you now.
- I'm not gonna talk

about that.

Let go of me you fuckin' freak.

Stop it, please stop it.

Just leave him alone.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

You're hurting him!

Dr. Danvers, call 1522.

Dr. Danvers, call 1522.

Please, Nurse.

She knows you're coming.

Doctor, thanks for bringing the boy.

That's all right.

Herb?

It's Johnny, Mom.

Oh, Johnny.

Leave your boots outside the door, dear.

Don't go tracking snow all over the house.

I won't.

You're a good boy.

You're wasting your time here, Sheriff.

You know that, don't you?

Well, you never know, Frank.

It's worth a try.

Mr. Smith?

Yeah, yeah, I'm Herb Smith.

Sheriff Bannerman, how do you do?

Castle Rock.

May I come in?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, come in.

It's a little nippy out there.

That's a nice tree you got there.

Thanks.

May I do something for you, Sheriff?

Well, actually, if this is
your son I came to see him.

You're John?

Sheriff Bannerman.

Castle Rock.

Well, I guess I've come to you

with what you could call a proposal, John.

It has to do with these
murders we've been having.

The Castle Rock Killer, I'm
sure you've heard of him?

Sure.

I don't know whether
it's true or not, John,

about these psychic powers of yours.

But if it is true, John,
I could use your help.

John, maybe you should give him a...

Take a minute to think about it,

but bear in mind some decent young women

from homes just like this

have met with terrible, terrible deaths.

Now, I'm at my wits' end.

I've exhausted about
every conventional method

of approach to this situation.

I've come up with nothing.

I feel you can help me, John.

You made a mistake.

I was sorry to hear

about your mother's
death, John, Mr. Smith.

I understand she was a good
woman, Christian woman.

I'm not a religious man
myself I'm sorry to say,

but I will say this,

if God has seen fit to
bless you with this gift,

you should use it.

Bless me?

You know what God did for me?

He threw am 18 wheel truck at me,

bounced me into nowhere for five years!

When I woke up my girl
was gone, my job was gone,

my legs are just about useless.

Bless me?

God's been a real sport to me.

All right, John.

If you change your mind,
you know where I am.

Merry Christmas to you.

Well?

Well what?

See? What did I tell ya?

Them murders he was talkin'
about, God-awful things.

Went on and on during the
time you were in that coma.

Just don't have the knack for tinsel.

It was your mother who always
kept the tree lookin' good.

I wish to God she was here now

so she could talk to you about this thing.

I'm not much help to ya, am I?

Sure you are.

You wanna talk about it?

Not that much to say.

It don't bring you much
happiness does it, Son?

When it happens, when the spells come,

it feels like, I don't know.

It feels like I'm dying inside.

No snow.

It should snow for Christmas.

Hi.

I brought you a visitor.

I didn't know you were coming.

I wasn't sure myself.

I'm glad.

If I'd known you were
coming, I'da cleaned up.

You look wonderful.

You lost the crutches, I see.

Yeah.

I still got the limp.

Is your father home?

No, he won't be back till later.

Is that who I think it is?

His Majesty.

- Danny?
- Denny.

Say hi.

Denny.

It's cold.

Come on in.

He's asleep.

Last time we were alone together,

you said some things
were worth waiting for.

Well, haven't we waited long enough?

Dad's been carrying on
with Charlene MacKenzie.

Ever since her husband died she's got

him over there buildin'
one thing or another.

But if you ask me,

it's the company she wants
more than the bookcases.

I heard that.

That's a boy.

There you are, young fella.

I made that for John
the night he was born.

Well, it's an excellent chair.

So, what have you
two been up to all day?

Makin' bookcases.

Sit down. Dinner's ready.

Boy, that smells good.

I'm starved.

I hope you like it.

I'll bet he will, he's
fed up with my cuisine.

"For what we are about to receive,

may the Lord make us truly grateful."

Amen.

It feels good to have

a family eating around this table again.

Am I gonna see you again?

Not like today.

Go inside, you're freezing.

It doesn't have to-

- Don't say it.

Don't say it, Johnny.

I'll just say goodnight.

Well, guess I'll hit the hay.

- I'm gonna watch some TV.
- The Castle Rock Killer

is in the news again.

- Goodnight, Son.
- Despite the efforts

from police forces in three counties,

the killer is at large,

and is likely to remain so for some time.

We spoke to Sheriff George Bannerman

outside the Castle County
Courthouse earlier today.

Well, we have no new leads at this time.

However, there is always the hope

that some citizen perhaps
in the audience right now

might have some information
that would be very helpful.

My line is always open and I would welcome

any help we can possibly get.

That's really all I have to say.

I thank you.

Thus far, nine separate murders

have been attributed to
the Castle Rock Killer,

dating back almost three and a half years.

The most recent victim of this
shocking wave of rape murders

was 15-year-old Debbie Linderman,

a sophomore at Castle Rock High School.

Her partially clad body was
found just one month ago today

in the Rock Lane boatyard.

As in the other Castle Rock killings,

cause of death was determined
by the coroner's officer

to be multiple stab wounds.

Next on News Eight,

sports and weather with Ron,

after this important message.

I'm gonna help him.

What did you say, Son?

The sheriff that came here, Bannerman,

I'm gonna help him.

We think the killer

hid around the corner just out
the end of the tunnel there.

When the poor girl came through,

the bastard was waitin' for her.

Tell the kids not to come
through here but damn it,

they like to use this as
a short cut to school.

He stood right here.

Found a lotta cigarette butts, same brand.

Eight or nine butts here.

This help you any?

I don't know.

Have you got somethin'

he might have touched or worn?

Frank, give me that package.

It's the only real evidence we have.

Found it right in the bushes back there.

Same brand as the butts
we found of the ground.

Here.

Nothin'.

I thought I might've felt somethin', but-

- That's okay, that's okay.

Can't say we didn't try, huh?

Dispatch to Sheriff Bannerman.

Yeah, this is Bannerman.

We got
another body here, Sheriff.

Oh, damn it.

What's the word, Sheriff?

Is it the work of the Castle Rock Killer?

Hey, Sheriff!

What's the
word about the robbery?

That's the psychic, isn't it?

- Out of the way.
- Give us a break.

Stand back.

We're trying to do a story here.

You'll just have to wait.

I don't know.

Anyone know who she is?

Dodd?

Yeah, I know this girl.

Her name's Alma Frechette.

She works at the Coffee
Pot Cafe across the way.

Your idea,
George, to have a psychic?

Dodd, get these people outta here.

Move 'em back.

Come on, move the people back.

Knock it off with those cameras.

Nah, no more cameras.

No more.

- Dodd!
- Yeah?

Nobody comes up here.

You got it, Sheriff.

You wanna try?

Hey, Alma!

Hi.

Hi, what are you doin' up there?

Oh, I'm waitin' for you.

How about a little smile?

She knows him.

What?

She knows him.

Why should I
waste a smile on you?

You wanna see something?

It's the God damndest thing.

What?

Come up here to the gazebo.

She knows him.

Not scared.

She knows him.

All right.

Well, what did you wanna show me?

Gazebo.

You like that word, Alma?

Come here.

Look at this.

Jesus, will you let go of me?

Is this your idea of a joke?

No joke.

No, wait!

You all right?

- Dodd, give me a hand.
- I saw him.

I was there, I saw him.

I stood there.

I saw his face.

Who?

I stood there and
watched him kill that girl.

Dodd.

Wait a minute, wait a
minute, what are you sayin'?

I did nothing.

I stood there and watched
him kill that girl.

What are you talkin' about?

Dodd!

I stood there, I did nothing.

Dodd?

Dodd, get up here!

He just took off in your car, Sheriff.

I saw his face, I saw his face.

I want you to stay there.

Sheriff, Sheriff?

I thought I told you to stay by the car.

Who's there?

It's Sheriff Bannerman,

I wanna talk to your son, Mrs. Dodd.

He ain't here.

But his patrol car's out here.

Well, his car is here but he ain't.

He's here.

I saw him in the window.

I'm tellin' ya he ain't home!

- I'm comin' in, Mrs. Dodd.
- No!

You leave my boy alone!

You knew, didn't ya?

You knew.

You.

You're a...

You're a devil, sent from hell!

Yes, yes.

Frank?

Hello, John.

May I come in?

How'd you find me?

My father?

I stopped off to see him,

and he told me you moved to a new town.

He's worried about you, and so am I.

There's nothin' to worry about.

I'm takin' care of myself.

It's about time.

I'm still your doctor, John.

You're still under my care.

We have to, well, we
have to stay in touch.

Well...

How's the, uh...

All healed up now?

The bullet went right through me.

It's nothin'.

Good.

Nice place you have here.

It's home.

Those headaches are
getting worse, aren't they?

Three, four times a day sometimes.

I brought you some new medication.

No! No more pills.

It takes time to recover.

The healing process is
slow, I told you many times.

I'm not gettin' better,
I'm gettin' worse.

Isn't that right?

All right.

Now listen, in the last few
months I've done some research

into the area of psychic phenomena.

Now, several cases such as
yours have been documented,

I was surprised to discover,

and the pattern is always the same.

As the spells, the visions,

grow stronger and more
powerful, so the body weakens.

Look, I don't need any
research or documentation

to see that this thing is sucking
the life right out of you.

One look at you can tell me that.

You mean I'm gonna die?

How long?

I think we can arrest the
process, reverse it even.

How do you do that?

Come back with me.

Where?

To the clinic of course.

No. Absolutely no.

John, please. You must!

Why, so you can study me?

No.

So I can protect you.

You need to be in a
controlled environment, John.

I wanna show you something.

Come with me.

The cards and letters
just keep pourin' in.

What is all this?

It's people with lost dogs,
lost children, lost lives.

You haven't even opened them.

I don't have to.

They all want the same thing,
reassurance, help, love,

things I can't give them.

My father sends this stuff on
to me and I let it pile up.

Why?

Why do you keep it?

This is why I can't
go out, live my life,

why I have to stay locked
up here in the house.

I'm already living in a
controlled environment, Sam.

Nothing can touch me here.

I'm alone.

I'm safe.

"But instead of dying,

she shall only fall into a profound sleep

which shall last 100 years."

That's my mom.

Okay.

Bye.

- Bye.
- John Smith?

Hi, I'm Roger Stuart.

I'd like to talk to you for a moment.

Sit down.

What can I do for ya?

Um, it's, uh, it's
my boy, my son, Chris.

He needs help.

I've inquired around.

You come highly recommended.

What's the matter with him?

I wish I knew.

He's bright, I know he is,

but he won't take part in school.

He won't join in, he won't
learn and God, he's so shy.

You think you could help him?

I wouldn't know that unless I met him.

Well, he's not in the car.

He wouldn't come with me today.

You'd have to come out to the house.

No, that's out of the question.

It's just not the way I do it.

Well, it won't work otherwise.

Please.

If you come out to the
house he'll get to know you,

then you can bring him
here for the lessons.

Please.

Okay.

Great, tomorrow morning's Saturday.

I'll send a car over to pick you up.

Thank you.

That reminds me of my first campaign

when I ran for a seat in
the State Senate upstate,

my home town, my opponent
went down to the ghetto.

Roger, believe it or not
he was actually handin'

out dollar bills to them black people

down there trying to buy votes.

I heard about it, I went down and I said,

"All right, you folks keep that money,

put it in your pocket, keep it,

then go back and get some more if you can

'cause times is rough,

but you get into that voting booth

I want you to vote for whoever
well you damn well please."

Well, Sir, we won that election
by damn near what, Son?

- 29.
- 29 percentage points.

We've been winnin' ever since

and those people spent that money

with a clear conscience.

Ah, John, good morning.

Nice to see ya.

Gentlemen, I'd like you to meet
my son's tutor, John Smith.

- John, this is Greg Stillson.
- How are ya, John?

Of course, this gentleman is...

- Oh, Jesus.
- How do you do?

Elliman, Sonny Elliman.

Sonny Elliman right here.

Well, Greg, you got some good ideas.

You gotta let me think about 'em.

Now listen, Roger, we
got a good thing goin'

and it's goin' strong and I
want you to be part of it.

I need your support,
I need your expertise,

I need your input,

and most importantly, I
need your money.

God bless, Roger.

I'll be seein' ya.

Thanks for dropping by,

- Greg.
- Not at all.

I'll see you.

- Buh-bye.
- Good to see ya, Sonny.

My God, what a glorious day!

Amen.

I'm sorry about that.

Well, let's go see Chris, huh, John?

Sure.

Chris?

This is Johnny.

Remember I told you he
was comin' this morning?

I'll leave you two
alone to get acquainted.

Your father says there's
something wrong with you.

He wants me to bring
you out of your shell.

I don't know what to do.

You don't have to do anything.

It's my dad that lives in a shell, not me.

Chris has really taken to you, John.

I'm impressed.

You made a lot of progress in one day.

We just had a talk.

Well, with Chris,
that's a real achievement.

You want a drink?

No.

Do you want a beer?

Okay.

Bryan, get him a beer.

Here, let's listen to this.

99, 100.

- Stillson!
- I'm Greg Stillson.

Just thought I'd stop by here

on my way to the U.S. Senate.

- Yeah!
- Greg Stillson.

Remember you met him in
the hall this morning?

Thanks for comin' out all of ya.

Boy, you gotta be in good shape

to go the full distance

for those big boys down in Washington.

That's right.

You gotta stay in shape
all the time with those boys.

Can't turn your back on 'em.

Gotta stay in better
shape than this country.

What the hell is
happenin' to this country?

Can anybody tell me what
the hell is goin' on?

Look at here.

I read in one of your local papers

right here on the front page
Do you believe this guy?

- that some old people,
- He's just getting warmed up.

You gonna vote for him, John?

Shame on America!

Shame on America!

What the hell is goin'

- on in America?
- I'm not even registered.

You're not registered?

- Shame on you!
- No.

Well, get registered, pal,
and vote against this turkey.

- He's dangerous.
- my opponent.

And I see all around
me so many unemployed.

What are you people doin'
here in the middle of the day?

- Middle of a work day!
- Should be workin'.

You're standin' out

- in the cold.
- Yeah.

Look around.

Look at each other!

How do ya feel about each other?

Are you proud of your communities?

Would you send the guy next
to ya to the U.S. senate?

- A real man of the people.
- You can't even trust

your own local people.

You don't feel good about yourself.

- Jesus, what an act.
- You got no confidence.

You don't stand

- for anything.
- Can't they see

through this guy?

I'm mixed up.

You both acted like you
were friends this morning.

Guys like Stillson, you
gotta walk a certain line.

You can't get too close
'cause if they lose

they'll drag you down with 'em.

On the other hand, if he wins,

and this turkey just might,

you gotta make sure you're
thought of as a good friend.

Know what I mean, John?

They're not workin'.

There's unemployment everywhere.

But I've come down here today
with a job for everyone of ya.

I've come here today with
a challenge for all of ya!

I'm challenging you right
here and now to join me,

to join a growing army

of volunteer workers on my campaign.

Let's send Greg Stillson
to the United States Senate

and mediocrity to hell!

What can I do for you boys?

You work late, Mr. Brenner.

That's very admirable.

I'm Greg Stillson.

Well, I know who you are, Mr. Stillson.

Now take your paid gorilla
and get out of my office.

My friend Sonny didn't wanna see

anybody get hurt but we
got a little problem here.

Get to the point, Mr. Stillson.

Well, you know, I'm damned
near even in the polls.

See, I'm catchin' on.

The people got a need for me.

I'm gonna win, I'm gonna win big

and I'll tell you somethin' else.

I have had a vision that I am going

to be President of the
United States someday

and I have accepted that
responsibility and nobody,

I mean nobody,

is gonna stop me.

Now, you can just imagine how I felt

when one of my loyal staff people

brought me your editorial

that's gonna hit the streets tomorrow.

You don't seem to like me, Brenner.

But that's okay, 'cause
I don't like you either.

How did you get that?

Well, like you, Brenner,

I'm not at liberty to reveal my sources.

Well, it doesn't make any difference

because you're right, that
editorial is gonna hit

the streets tomorrow morning.

Not if we can make a deal.

What the hell are you talking about?

I'm talking about you staying

out of the campaign business,

and me staying out of
the publishing business.

Show him what we've got to publish, Sonny.

That's your best shot.

I got lotsa loyal people
on my side, Brenner.

That young lady in the photographs
with you is one of 'em.

Now, I never met Mrs. Brenner,

but I'm damn near sure that ain't her.

What do you think, Sonny?

Is this Mrs. Brenner?

Doesn't look like her.

You son of a bitch, you set me up.

Who you callin' a son of a bitch?

No, it's all right, Sonny.

Let's give Mr. Brenner a chance

to think about his wife and kids,

and his position in the community.

What if I don't make a deal, Stillson?

You'll make a deal.

Otherwise I'll have my friend Sonny

take your God damn head off.

Good idea.

See, Sonny, I told you
he was a reasonable man.

Yeah, he's a nice man.

Oh, and I like your wife, too.

"Prophets, said I, thing of evil.

Prophets still of bird or devil,

by that heaven that bends above us,

by that God we both adore,

tell this soul with sorrow laden,

if within the distant Aden,

it shall clasp a sainted maiden

whom the angels named Lenore."

Chris, skip to the part
where he talks about,

"Will I ever see her again?"

"Eagerly I wish the morrow.

Vainly I had sought to borrow

from my books, surcease of sorrow,

sorrow for the lost Lenore.

For the rare and radiant maiden

whom the angels named Lenore,

nameless here forevermore."

Stop, I'll be right back.

Good afternoon, Sir.

We're out in your neighborhood today

talking to people about Greg Stillson.

You're familiar with our
candidate aren't you?

What do you think?

Yeah, right.

But are you aware of what
Greg Stillson stands for?

Well, Greg Stillson is mounting

the successful third party movement

this state has ever seen.

Stillson represents both
the poor and the well-off,

the young and the old.

Could you come back?

- I have a student.
- Oh, sure,

I know you're busy.

Can I leave some literature, though?

Sure.

Honey, can you bring
some of those brochures?

Hello, Johnny.

Hi.

Is this where you're living now?

Yeah, I'm back to teaching.

This is my husband, Walt.

Nice to meet you finally, John.

I've heard Sarah talk about you so often.

Hey, come on back, Johnny.

It's no fun reading to myself.

Oh, Chris, Walt and Sarah.

Hi.

We'll let you get back to work.

We got a lotta ground to cover ourselves,

don't we honey?

Nice to meet ya.

- Bye.
- Don't forget who

to vote for on Election Day.

Bye.

Who was that?

Hey, are you okay?

Why are you crying, Johnny?

Johnny?

What's the matter?

Nothin'.

My ride's here.

I'm goin' with ya.

I gotta talk to you.

Hi, Johnny.

What is this?

What are you doin'?

Pretty good stuff, huh?

I organized a hockey team for Chris

and some of his friends, huh, Chris?

We have our first practice this afternoon.

You are lookin' at the coach.

- Call it off.
- Take that stuff

into the garage, okay?

There's gonna be an accident.

Call it off.

Call it off?

What for?

Chris has been lookin'
forward to this all week, huh?

He's really comin' out of his shell, John.

Wait.

I gotta talk to ya.

We'll have a little nourishment

- and then we'll hit the ice.
- No, listen to me,

call it off.

There's gonna be an accident.

- Call it off.
- Don't be ridiculous.

We always skate on that pond until March.

What the hell is the matter with you?

You wanna kill your own son?

I'm scared, Dad.

For Christ sake, John!

Don't be scared.

Just go eat your cookies.

Don't you know who I am?

Of course I know who you are.

You think I'd have you come into

my son's life without checkin' you out?

But I hired you for your
abilities as a teacher,

not as a fortuneteller.

Now don't give me any arguments-

- The ice is gonna break!

I want you outta here.

I don't want you in my boy's life anymore,

and I don't want any argument from you.

I want you to do exactly
what I'm telling you now.

No, Dad.

You don't know.

It's not safe.

All right.

To hell with it!

To hell with the whole thing.

Forget it all.

Forget the hockey team,
forget the practice,

but I want you outta here.

Whatever you say.

I'm sorry about that.

I'll see that you get your final check.

I'm not crazy, you know.

Don't let the boy think I am.

I'm right about this.

But we'll never know, will we?

Give me your hand.

Nothing to worry about now.

My driver will take you home.

You were right.

I'll see ya.

Chris?

Hey, what's goin' on?

You're not even dressed.

You called it off.

I thought you called it off?

Well, that was just to get rid of him.

So, we goin' or not?

Are you gonna sit here
and pout like a baby

in your room or are you comin' outside

and play hockey with your friends?

Great.

Hello.

Who is it?

Johnny?

Sarah, see you down there honey.

Okay.

Vote for Stillson!

Stillson! Stillson!

Stillson! Stillson!

Stillson! Stillson!

Stillson! Stillson!

- Stillson! Stillson!

Stillson! Stillson!

Stillson! Stillson!

Do it, General.

You're insane. I won't.

Do it!

Put your hand on the scanning screen

and you'll go down in history with me!

As what?

The world's greatest mass murderers?

You cowardly bastard!

You're not the voice of the people!

I am the voice of the people.

The people speak through me, not you.

It came to me while I
slept, Sonny, my destiny.

In the middle of the night it came to me.

I must get up now, right
now and fulfill my destiny!

Now you put your God damn
hand on that scanning screen

or I'll hack it off and put it on for you!

Do it!

May God forgive me.

Congratulations, General.

Complete the sequence, Mr. President.

My destiny.

Thank you, Sonny.

Let them come up.

This is not necessary, Mr. President.

We have a diplomatic solution.

Mr. Vice President, Mr. Secretary,

the missiles are flying.

Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Stillson! Stillson!

Stillson! Stillson!

- Stillson! Stillson!
- You okay, Greg?

Stillson! Stillson!

- Get out!
- Stillson! Stillson!

Stillson! Stillson!

If you could go back in time to Germany,

say before Hitler came to power,

knowing what you know
now, what would you do?

Would you kill him?

Is that why you sent for me, John?

To ask me this question?

I have to talk to you, Sam,

because I've had another episode.

Oh, yes?

Go on.

I've been tutoring
this boy, name is Stuart,

and in the vision, I saw him drown,

I saw him die, Sam, but
that's not the point.

In the vision there was something missing,

something I couldn't see.

How do you mean?

I don't know, it was like,

a blank spot, a dead zone.

First of all, tell me,

did the boy in fact drown?

You say you saw him drown.

No, no, his father
wanted him to play hockey.

I talked him out of it.

The boy's alive.

Yes.

Don't you see?

Don't you see how clear it all is?

Not only can you see the future, you can-

- I can change it.

You can change it, exactly.

Here.

Yes, John.

That is your dead zone.

The possibility of altering

the outcome of your
premonitions, it's fascinating.

Let me make a note.

What about my question, Sam?

Oh, you mean the one
about Hitler?

What would you do?

I don't like the sound of this, John.

What are you getting at?

What would you do?

Would you kill him?

All right.

All right, I'll give you an answer.

I'm a man of medicine.

I'm expected to save
lives and ease suffering

and I love people.

Therefore, I would have no choice

but to kill the son of a bitch.

You'd never get away alive.

It doesn't matter.

I would kill him.

"Dear Sarah, it is a
hard letter to write,

so I'll try and make it short.

I can't go on hidin' anymore.

That's what I've been
doin', running and hiding.

I had this figured out all wrong.

I always thought this
power of mine was a curse,

but now I can see it's a gift.

Anyway, by the time you get this letter,

it'll be all over.

You never will understand why, Sarah,

I guess nobody ever will,
but I know what I'm doing,

and I know I'm right.

Just remember there's never
been anyone for me except you.

It just wasn't in the
cards for us, I guess.

I'll always love you, Sarah.

Johnny."

Oh, it's a bit dark, no?

Hey, we're over here.

Thank you for your support.

Thanks for comin'.

Thanks.

Appreciate it. Thanks very much.

What's your name?

Good to see you.

- Hey.
- This your baby?

Yeah.

Hi.

He's so cute.

Come on, bring him up on stage with us.

Stillson! Stillson!

I wanna thank all of you
from the bottom of my heart

for the tremendous support
you've given this campaign.

You made this campaign
the most talked about,

the most exciting, the
most important campaign

in the history of this great state.

And I've come here personally
to thank you for that.

Johnny!

- Give me him!
- Don't!

No!

Sonny!

The man is trying to kill me!

Everybody, get out of here!

Who are you, you son of a bitch?

Who sent you?

It's over.

You're finished.

Where's that kid with the camera?

He was takin' pictures!

I don't see him.

You asshole!

It's okay, it's all right.

Oh, Johnny, why?

Why?

Goodbye.

I love you.
