Nightbreed

Save me from my enemy.

Well, hi.

Hi.

You okay?

Yeah... Sorry.

Want something to eat?

No.

- You know what? - Hmm?

We should get out of Calgary for a few days.

You know, just take off.

Any place special?

Somewhere we can be alone together.

More alone than this?

Yeah.

No work, no telephone calls.

- No bad dreams. - No bad dreams.

Mmm...

Decker's been calling again.

When?

All last week, every day.

And what does he want?

I don't know, I haven't talked to him. I haven't called him back.

Well, if he can help...

I'm just... so frustrated.

You spend all that time working for somebody and...

Look, go see him.

Okay? Tell him it's all gone except the bad dreams.

The dreams aren't even that bad anymore.

I'm actually beginning to like them.

That does sound crazy, now doesn't it?

Boone.

Aaron?

It's Dr. Decker.

Hey... long time, no speak.

Four months.

So you miss me?

- I need to see you. - Why? I'm healthy.

I'm feeling good.

I'd like to believe that, I really would.

So believe it, it's true.

I'm still in my office, I'll wait for you.

Oh, I uh, can't. I'm on my way out.

Tomorrow then.

Okay...

Is something wrong?

Don't let me down again.

I'll be there.

God help us both.

'Cause I like being fat because it's comfortable

and I like myself fat. And I like you fat, too!

Keep it down, you'll wake the munchkins!

Mommy...

Sweety, you're supposed to be beddy-byes!

I heard something.

What did you hear, honey?

A bad man.

Oh, everything's alright.

You go back to bed, munchkin,

and I'll come and see you a bit later, OK?

OK.

Boone!

You've got a visitor.

Wow... you look great.

If I wasn't so dirty...

I've gotta get to rehearsal.

I don't need to see my baby sing, you know.

Get one more car done and we'll see.

I'm not going to be at home, so...

why don't you meet me at the club, and we'll go to my place from there?

OK?

Yeah.

You know, most of my colleagues would have walked away from a case like yours.

But I found you intriguing.

All that talk about monsters, and Midian.

Only I didn't create 'em, I heard about 'em from other people.

Yeah, but you've incorporated it into your private mythology.

I guess I did.

I needed a place to escape to.

A place where all your sins would be forgiven.

Yeah.

Do you remember what sins?

What do you mean?

Well, when you imagined yourself being taken away to this...

invented city, to Midian, what sins were you gonna be forgiven?

Are we back in therapy, Doctor? They were just dreams.

Midian doesn't exist. Monsters don't exist.

But murder does, Aaron.

Murder is very, very real.

It might start in the mind...

but then it changes to flesh and blood.

Two days ago, the police brought me some photographs.

They wanted to know if any of my patients was capable...

of doing what's in those photographs.

I'm gonna show them to you.

Why?

Because when you talked about murder on the tapes...

I assumed it was just hallucination.

That's what I assumed.

What you described on those tapes, Aaron...

was very detailed. Very specific.

Houses, faces.

These houses. These faces.

No, I... I don't remember.

Would you like to hear it?

No.

So you think I did this?

Six families killed in ten months, Aaron.

Oh, God...

So what am I gonna do?

You're gonna take these. They'll help you.

You've got 24 hours to go to the police...

and tell them the truth.

And that's all I can give you.

Boone?

This is Boone.

You know what to do. Adios.

Yeah, hi, it's me.

I'm at my place and I thought you were gonna be here.

So come over as soon as you get this, OK?

I love you... Bye.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

- What have you been taking tonight? - Lithium.

Lucky you're in one piece, fella.

This is not Lithium, my friend.

What was I taking?

It looks like it could be some kind of lab quality hallucinogen.

You're on what we used to call a bad trip, ol' buddy.

Six families killed in ten months, Aaron.

Six families killed in ten months, Aaron.

Please take me.

Take me to Midian!

Take me to Midian, I'll do anything!

Have I missed you? Have I missed you? No.

Please come. Please come.

Please come. Come and take me. Take me to Midian!

Please take me. Take me! Take me to Midian!

Please, I beg you. I'll do anything.

Why won't you come?

What'd you say?

I said shut up!

They won't come while you're here.

They won't show themselves to the likes of you.

What'd you just say?

What'd you just say?

You said "Midian."

Did I? Maybe.

What do you know about it?

It's where the monsters go.

It takes away the pain.

Hey, wait a minute...

What do you know about it?

They forgive you there.

See, they only take you if you're worthy.

You know what they do to those that... aren't worthy?

Kkkkk!

So you know where it is?

You and I could go there.

- They sent you. - What?

They sent you to take me.

Yes.

But I need to know where it is.

It's a test.

Yes. Yes.

North of Athabasca.

East of Peace River.

North of Dwyer.

You'll take me. I'm worthy, you ask anyone!

I knew you'd come. I was... I was waiting!

Good.

I know, I know, I know. I know. I know.

First, I have to show you. That's how it works.

- Show me what? - My true face.

That's what these are for.

I'm an actor, see?

There's a face beneath this face.

- No! - Let me! You have to see me!

First I show you, then you take me with you!

Juvenile delinquency, periodically institutionalized...

some violent episodes.

No criminal charges, and he's been in my care...

- What the hell have you done? - Nothing!

In there! They need help!

What's he saying?

He's not making a whole lot of sense.

Something about a place called "Midian."

He's dying. I think he wants to die.

Inspector, I know Boone. I know how he talks,

I know how he manipulates.

Now, maybe if the right words are said to this man,

they'll trigger something.

Go ahead.

I'll do what I can...

but I'll have to have privacy.

Move and I'll slit your throat!

- You've got him? - I've got him.

Holy shit!

Are you from Midian?

- We should take him below, Peloquin. - He's not Nightbreed.

- He's natural. - No, I've killed people!
