Darkness Falls Page #2

I feel like l've been here

too long already.

-Wait. We could go to The lnn, right?

-I don't drink.

Come on, Kyle. I haven't

seen you in 1 2 years, man.

One drink's not gonna

kill anybody, right?

Where's Kyle?

He left.

Is he coming back?

I don't know.

-Walsh, what's going on, man?

-Relax, buddy.

You'll survive one drink, right?

Beer okay?

-Can't.

-Oh, Jesus.

-Long time no see, Walsh.

-Hey, Dave. Two drafts.

-Fleishman, who's your date?

-Remember Kyle? Thank you.

-Kyle, as in Kyle Walsh.

-That's right, Ray.

That's him in the flesh.

Thank you, Dave.

Where you going, man? Sit down.

I bought you a beer.

I figured you'd like this one.

It's a light.

You should have told me

you were coming back.

-I didn't know you'd still be here.

-You left a lot of sh*t behind.

-What's wrong?

-That's the freak who killed his mother.

So come on, man.

What you been doing with yourself?

-I'm in the gaming industry.

-Larry Fleishman, attorney at law.

You're an attorney?

You stole more candy than anyone

in the history of stealing.

That's why l'm a defense attorney.

So come on, Kyle, give.

What are you really doing back here?

Jesus!

I came to see if l could help Michael.

You don't look like

you can help anybody.

Wanna tell me how you got over it?

You did get over it, right?

She's got a whole new life now.

Caitlin.

This whole thing with Mikey....

What the hell are you

doing back here, freak?

I thought they locked

you up for killing your mama.

I don't want any trouble, all right?

Oh, yeah? Well, trouble.

That's tough! Come on, you chickenshit.

-Hey, come on.

-Kick his ass, Ray.

You want a piece?

-Come on. Take a shot.

-Leave him alone, man.

Oh, yeah, keep walking.

You guys see that?

Eat this!

No!

Keep running, you freak!

I'll find you!

Walsh, l'm gonna kick your ass!

l'll find you.

These are my woods.

Nobody messes with me!

Larry! Larry!

There's no way they could

have come this far, Matty.

What the hell was that?

Ray! Kyle Walsh!

What are those guys doing? Batten,

get back there. Spread them out.

I'm Just gonna stay right here

with you. Okay, Matt?

Okay, now that came from over there.

-You wait there, Larry.

-You got it.

Hey, Matt.

Matt?

Hey, buddy, this.... This whole

splitting up thing's kind of stupid.

Sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

You're a grown man,

completely safe.

You're a grown man.

You're completely safe.

Get him off! Get him off!

" Light will spell her doom and death.

Brightest flame engulfed her whole,

setting free her wicked soul."

Hey, Cat.

What happened to you?

Coming-home party.

Come here. Sit down.

You're bleeding.

Sit down. Come on, sit down.

Okay, l need to try to get

this gravel out of your scalp.

So how did this happen?

Okay.

How about telling me about the last 1 2

years of your life in 25 words or less?

I went to a foster home...

...and we moved out west

to Las Vegas...

...and now l work in a casino.

Is that 25 words yet?

Keep going.

Are you and Larry going out?

-Why do you ask?

-I don't know, l Just--

Got it.

I don't know what l'm doing wrong.

-Don't give him any more tests.

-What?

They stuck me with every needle...

...gave me more Rorschachs than l

could count, and it didn't do a thing.

Don't let that happen to Michael.

Kyle Walsh.

You're gonna have to come with us.

You ever see anything like this,

Dad?

In this town, you'd be surprised.

What's with all the flashlights?

-Are you afraid of the dark?

-Yes, sir.

If you knew why,

you'd think l was crazy.

Klonopin.

Darvocet.

Sh*t, this one

l can't even pronounce.

Doc says half of these

are antipsychotics.

Now, l don't know much about

medicine, but it occurs to me...

...that if a man is taking antipsychotics,

he might have a tendency to become...

...well, psychotic.

Ray's dead.

He's dead?

I think you had something

to do with it.

I didn't kill him. I didn't do this.

No, it must have been....

I don't know.

He hasn't been the same

since his mom's murder.

He's not a killer.

How do you know?

You haven't seen him in 1 2 years.

Because l know. He's a good man.

-He's been a ward of the state.

-But he came to help Michael.

He was in a mental hospital

for nine years.

Caitlin, he's a dangerous guy.

I had a file sent over from State

Hospital about you. Ten feet long.

You spent a lot of time there. MaJor

disassociative syndrome, night terrors...

...sociopathic tendencies,

three suicide attempts.

I didn't do this.

You did it, Kyle. Don't turn away.

You killed your mother

and you killed Ray. Didn't you?

I need to call my lawyer.

-I don't believe this. I'm going.

-Caitlin, l'll be in touch.

Caitlin.

I have to get back to Michael

at the hospital.

Matt.

Keep working on your crap story.

Hope you got a good lawyer.

I can handle this.

I can handle this.

I can handle this.

Black cat.

Why not?

Michael!

Michael!

Michael, open the door! Michael!

-I'll call security.

-Michael? Can you hear me?

It's okay.

-She's gonna get me.

-It's okay.

Your brother is suffering from a form

of Pavor Nocturnus, or night terrors.

Because of his lack of sleep,

he's suffered a psychotic break.

Once that occurs, the subJect can't

discern what is real and what is not.

-They begin to manifest a response.

-How do you mean?

A patient may hurt themselves because

they believe what they dream is real.

Michael feels that something

is after him, wanting to kill him.

And his self-inflicted wounds

are consistent with this fantasy.

The good news is that there is

a procedure we can perform...

...right here, which has had an

overwhelming success rate.

-Is it surgical?

-No, not at all.

Michael is placed in a sensory

deprivation chamber.

He faces his fears and realizes

there's nothing to fear.

Tests.

-Michael hates the dark.

-Yeah.

That's the point.

Is there any other alternative?

Aggressive medication

coupled with counseling.

There are no guarantees. Meanwhile,

Michael might hurt himself again.

Ray and l were Just sitting there,

having drinks...

...and Walsh starts fighting

with Ray....

-Where are my flashlights?

-Lab's not done with them.

That's all you remember?

The words you're looking for

are "thank you."

Hey, Kyle! Kyle, wait up!

I'm having a bad day, Kyle.

I had a dead guy fall on me.

You want to tell me where

you're going, huh? Kyle?

-How about a pistola? Huh?

-No.

Wait here a minute.

-Okay, now what?

-Where's your car?

-Why?

-I need a ride. Now!

Yeah. Car's over here. Hey, man,

you've been released into my custody.

-Kyle!

-It's 5:
35, Larry.

The sun sets in 20 minutes. You've got

We're almost set up.

It'll Just be another 1 5 minutes.

-Where's the other doctor?

-He had to get back upstate.

So you'll be doing this?

Why did you come back?

Do you know how long l've tried

to get through to her?

Her brother's always there

and then the ghost.

A ghost?

You, man.

Nobody in this town

had a chance with her.

All she could think about was you.
