Jesse's death

Heart-broke Freddy impales Jesse's chest, killing him

When he believes he is being released on bail from jail and leaves, Jesse realizes he has fallen asleep. Freddy Krueger attacks, toys with him and then after momentarily disappearing, comes up behind Jesse and impales his chest with his hand. In the real world Jesse, who was never released on bail, is killed in front of his cellmate, but back in the Dream World Krueger mentions that the brain lingers on for seven minutes after death, meaning Jesse's consciousness is still alive until then. Krueger goes on to say that they have six more minutes to "play" leaving Jesse's final six minutes to live being tortured by Freddy.
