have them at the beginning.

Especially if they've suffered

a traumatic shock.

Don't worry, young lady.

You're gonna be fine.

What do you mean?

What's he talking about?

What's wrong with me?

Nothing.

You're just a little pregnant.

The doctor

wants to keep you overnight.

Just for routine observation...

to make sure you're

as comfortable as possible.

You're gonna be fine, honey.

Everything's gonna be OK.

What's your name?

Jacob.

Really?

I've always loved that name.

Shouldn't you be in your room,

Jacob?

It's lonely there.

Well, my name is...

I'm sorry your boyfriend

got killed.

How did you know that?

I could tell you were sad.

I just wanted to see

if you were all right.

Jacob, wait. Don't go.

Greta, dear...

it's time

to get your beauty sleep.

We don't want circles

under those beautiful eyes.

Have you visited that little boy

on my floor?

You know, Jacob?

He has kind of sad eyes.

There aren't

any little boys on your floor.

He must have wandered in

from the children's ward.

I was just wondering

what's wrong with him.

We don't have a children's ward.

He was wearing a hospital robe.

I don't know what to tell you.

Did you call everyone?

Yup. Listen...

let's keep this dream stuff

between you and me, OK?

Amanda Krueger

was part of a religious order...

that ran that asylum

in the 1940s.

She was raped by the lunatics

and had the baby there.

That baby grew up to be

Freddy Krueger...

who murdered

twenty or thirty kids...

right here on Elm Street.

He got caught...

but the courts cut him loose

on a technicality.

So, the parents

of the murdered kids...

got together and killed him.

Torched him.

But that was just the beginning.

He keeps on killing...

but he kills people

in their dreams...

their nightmares.

He uses my dreams

to bring him his victims.

It's my fault that Dan's dead.

Stop saying that.

That's bullshit.

Let's talk about the baby.

Yeah, congratulations.

I guess.

That's not what we're here for.

Look, Dan's parents

were really pushing him hard.

He was bitching about it

last night at the party.

He was under

a lot of pressure. We all are.

Pushy parents

can drive you nuts.

What does that

have to do with it?

When Dan died,

you weren't even asleep.

You even said so. End of story.

He must have found

some other way.

Listen to me!

This isn't some kind of joke!

He gets in

through my dreams somehow...

and I thought

I could control it...

but something's changed...

and I don't know

what he'll do next.

Look, Alice,

we all know you're upset.

The bottom line, Alice...

if anybody's

trying to hurt you...

supernatural or not...

they're going to have

to go through us first.
