Confronting the Past and Its Consequences
Quentin
You killed Krueger.
Alan
Where did you hear that?
Quentin
You chased him, you cornered him, and you burned him. You hunted him!
Alan
We weren't hunting, we were protecting you!
Quentin
From what?!
Alan
From him! For what he did to you! After what you kids told us...
Quentin
WE WERE FIVE! WE WOULD'VE SAID ANYTHING! WHY DIDN'T YOU GO TO THE POLICE?!
Alan
You were so young.
Quentin
Oh, god! And the things we said he did! The cave? Did you ever find it?!
Alan
No.
Quentin
How did you know he was guilty? You killed an innocent man.
Alan
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about that night, Quentin.
Quentin
Good. You deserve that. At least that!
[storms off]
Alan
Quentin-! When you grow up, and you have kids... You'll understand how it feels to never fail to protect them.

No, I don't. Think about; What would it mean? Dean was on a truck load of medication when...
Kris
Jesse, when it happened, it was like somebody was making him do it but there was nobody there. Jesse, you have to believe me.

I believe you.

You do?

I've seen him... I saw-

Repressed Memories and a Hidden Past
Nancy Holbrook
There was a man at the preschool...
Dr. Holbrook
His name was Fred Kruger. He was a gardener, who lived in the basement of the preschool. And you kids were his life. We didn't want to believe it at first. You were all so innocent. And you, Nancy. You were his favorite of all. And then, we started to notice things...
Quentin
So what did you do? Did you call the police?
Dr. Holbrook
He left town before we got a chance to confront him. He's gone. He can't hurt you anymore. So these dreams, that you're having, They're...they're repressed memories, from a terrible terrible time.
Nancy
I hope you are right.
