The Dead Zone

It's okay. It's okay, baby.

Johnny will be home soon.

Okay, I'll promise.

Ho, I'm home!

Okay, here we go.

Look at this. Look at this, huh?

All right, look.

We got wipes.

We got powder, huh?

Look at this.

Where's the diapers?

No, I got... I got diaper rash cream.

She doesn't have diaper rash.

Listen, I touched

her butt earlier, okay?

She's gonna.

Johnny, Hope needs diapers.

She's only got two left!

Allright... Listen, listen...

We can use these.

It's super absorbent !

No?

Oh, the look. The look !

okay, let me get diapers.

Let me get the phone.

Hello?

Hi. It's coach Morrison.

Is, uh, is Sarah Bannerman home?

She's kinda got

her hands full right now.

Can I help you?

I'm just checking on J.J.,

wondering if that ankle's healing up.

His ankle?

I don't mind if he misses practice,

But... It's been a week,

and we're into finals on saturday.

Wait a second, coach.

What you're saying is he's missed a week of practices

'cause of an injury?

Yeah.

I figured you knew.

No, I...I know. I knew, I just, uh...

Johnny, who is it?

Uh, no one.

No one, i just...

Can I call you back, coach?

No problem.

What's he doing at the old airfield?

Johnny, is everything okay?

Yeah, yeah.

Just the, uh...

The cable company.

They just wanted to sign us up for something.

I'll go get the diapers, okay?

My son is joing the circus?

"Through the looking glass."

Yeah, no kidding.

Johnny !

I...

I didn't know you were into the circus.

Nice try, kid. Come on, we're going home.

I can't.

Oh, yes, you can. Let's go.

No, I... But...

What, the acrobat girl?

Monique.

Oh, Monique !

Is she the reason you've been ditching

soccer practice every day this week?

Well, have you talked to her yet?

Yeah, I've said...

"Hi" a couple of times, but...

What, you haven't made an impression yet?

The performers came to our school monday.

They did analice in wonderland

assembly thing in gym

to let us know that the circus starts next week.

Let me guess

She was Alice?

Yeah.

J.J.?

Hey, J.J.?

Your mom and I thought you were at soccer practice all week.

You lied to us.

Not to mention coach morrison.

Did you tell him that you hurt your ankle?

No, I did hurt my ankle.

But I... guess

it got better.

Good.

Cause we got a long walk home now, kid.

- Come on ! - Johnny, please.

Come on !

I know what I did was wrong.

I do.

But...

I have to talk to her.

Well, she's practicing now.

No. She only practices till 4:00.

Then she goes back to her trailer until around

4:30.

Then she has a snack.

She likes apples.

And then, she eats dinner around...

Hold on.

First things first, okay?

Now, look, there's a fine line

between admirer

and stalker.

Okay?

Now...

you want to start a conversation

with a young lady,

first thing you do

is you pay her a compliment.

Okay, cool.

Like what?

Well, you just tell her,

I don't know.

Tell her

you've been watching her practice and

You think she's ridiculously talented.

Okay, so I can stay.

Hold on a second. Hey !

You got a half hour, kid.

Okay?

Okay.

All right? Under one condition.

- You stay out of this tent. - Okay!

- Okay? - Yeah.

Oh my God !

- One second, Man. - Okay.

You're late, Johnny. You're late!

Lorenzo?

- Yeah! Is that you? - Yeah.

Must be the white head.

Makes me look fat, huh?

Join you later.

Must be like, what, 20 years, buddy?

20 years, too long man !

What's going on? You working here?

I own it.

- You own all this? - Yeah.

You don't recognize it, do you?

Should I?

I hope not.

I spent enough converting it.

Remember the old carnival?

Oh, you're kidding me.

Yeah. I bought the whole operation 10 years ago.

Well, you know, just after the...

- My accident? - Yeah.

I heard about the coma,

and, you know, all that stuff ever since.

can I ask you a serious question?

Yeah.

I'm thinking of a number between one and ten.

So you're still a complete idiot!

Some things never change, right?

But I gotta tell you,

this looks nothing like the old carnival, man.

Well, I added the big top, and

and I took every last bit of the old carnival

and transformed it into what you see now.

The air base was available,

so I decided to give it a run

here back home in cleaves mills.

Nice.

Alice in wonderland, huh?

Yeah.

It's always been an obsession of mine.

You don't still have the old wheel of fortune, do you?

Oh, most definitely.

You're just not allowed to play.

Hey there, Johnny.

Hey.

That girl,

she looks just like that girl in high school,

the one you had the insane crush on.

What was her name? Denise, uh...

Ludovic.

It's her ! The only difference is

she doesn't hate me anymore

because i'm paying her really, really well.

You enjoying yourself, smith?

What's going on?

Hey, sheriff.

Looks like you two know each other.

Yeah, since high school.

What are you guys doing here?

There was a break-in last night.

- Yeah? - Yeah, freaky break-in.

How freaky?

When I promise freaky, I deliver.

I saw this in my vision less than a half hour ago.

You mean, you had a vision of something that already happened?

Yes.

Oh, I get those too. They're called memories.

In the vision, somebody was dead.
