THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN

THE PERSON:

WHO'S ON YOUR SIDE

IS LEADING THE CHARGE

AGAINST YOU.

FUNNY HOW THAT CHANGES

SO FAST.

I USED TO THINK:

A STRONG MAN:

SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO

EVERYTHING HIMSELF.

THE TRUTH IS,

THE ONLY REAL STRENGTH

IS REALIZING THA YOU CAN'T DO IT ALONE.

I'LL DRINK TO THAT.

YEAH,

SUSAN-- SHE'S ALL RIGHT,

I GUESS.

THE TRUTH IS,

MY WIFE AND I...

(voice distorted)

(phone ringing)

DON'T YOU WAN TO GET THAT?

HEY, THE THINGS

I WANT TO DO, I DO.

THE THINGS I DON'T WAN TO DO, I DON'T DO.

Henry's voice:

You've reached

Please leave

a detailed message

and someone

will get back to you

(machine beeps, clicks)

SO YOU STILL WAN TO SETTLE UP?

JESUS.

F*** IT.

LET'S GO TAKE CARE

OF SOME BUSINESS.

WHAT DID I SAY?

$5000?

THE MONEY:

I'VE OFFERED YOU

WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE

ON THE OTHER SIDE

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

YEAH.

WELL, OKAY, LET'S HAVE

A LOOK INSIDE THEN.

HERE WE HAVE:

THE MASTER SUITE.

GO AHEAD.

YOU'RE A PROFESSIONAL

MAN, COLE.

I'LL GIVE YOU 500 BUCKS

IF YOU CAN NAME:

THAT STENCH.

YEAH, SOME--

(imitates buzzer)

IT'S PISS.

IT'S DOG PISS,

IF YOU WANT TO BE

PRECISE ABOUT IT.

YEAH, SUSAN HAD

THIS LITTLE F***ING DOG.

AND I SWEAR:

IT WAS PUT ON THIS EARTH

FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE

OF PISSING ON MY HOUSE.

BUT I TOOK CARE:

OF THAT B*TCH.

(chuckles)

I TOOK CARE OF:

THE LITTLE DOG TOO.

YEAH.

THINGS GOT A LITTLE

OUT OF HAND, I GUESS.

OH, BUT DON'T WORRY.

IT'S--

IT'S WINE.

MOSTLY IT'S WINE.

I'D SAY

PARDON THE MESS,

BUT THE MESS IS:

WHAT I'M MOST PROUD OF.

DOES YOUR WIFE KNOW

THAT--?

WHAT?

THAT I KILLED HER SH*T?

SHE'S GOT BIGGER PROBLEMS

THAN THAT RIGHT NOW.

EITHER THA OR NO PROBLEMS AT ALL,

DEPENDING ON:

HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.

OH RIGHT.

I FORGOT TO SHOW YOU

THE BEST PART.

COME ON, CHECK IT OUT.

LADY'S POWDER ROOM.

IN ALL FAIRNESS, YOU KNOW,

I TOOK THE IDEA FROM SUSAN.

WHEN WE WERE FIRST TOGETHER,

SHE USED TO WRITE ME

THESE MESSAGES:

IN HER LIPSTICK.

I USED TO PRETEND

TO LIKE IT.

SH*T, I MIGHT HAVE

ACTUALLY LIKED I

BUT THEN IT STARTED

TO SEEM,

I DON'T KNOW,

KIND OF CHEAP TO ME,

LIKE SOMETHING:

A HOOKER WOULD DO.

LADY'S POWDER ROOM.

JUST ONCE I'D LIKE TO HEAR

ONE OF THESE:

REAL ESTATE PEOPLE

"AND HERE'S THE ROOM

WHERE THE LADY:

WILL TAKE:

MOST OF HER SHITS--

NOT ALL OF HER SHITS,

'CAUSE SHE'LL PROBABLY TAKE

ONE OR TWO SHITS

IN A DOWNSTAIRS BATHROOM,

JUST TO KEEP THE STAFF

ON THEIR TOES."

AND THAT'S IMPORTANT,

BECAUSE IF I WALK INTO

A BATHROOM IN THIS HOUSE

AND THE TOILET PAPER ROLL

IS NOT FOLDED:

TO A PERFECT POIN LIKE THAT--

IF IT'S NOT FOLDED

TO A PERFECT POIN

I'M GONNA LOSE MY MIND.

DO YOU SEE THAT?

YOU SEE THAT?

YOU SEE THAT LITTLE GUY

RIGHT THERE?

AS LONG AS I HAVE THAT,

EVERYTHING'S PERFECT.

YOU SEE THAT?

NOW LET ME ASK YOU

SOMETHING, GUY:

IS THA THE TOILET PAPER ROLL POIN

OF A MAN WHO JUST KILLED

HIS WIFE AND KID?

- WHAT?

- HUH?

DID YOU JUST SAY

YOU KILLED YOUR:

SH*T. DID I?

BECAUSE IF I DID,

IT WAS A MISTAKE.

BECAUSE IF I DIDN' KILL THEM,

IT'D BE A MISTAKE

TO SAY THAT I DID,

BECAUSE IT WOULD BE

FALSE:

AND SO A MISTAKE.

ON THE OTHER HAND,

IF I DID KILL THEM,

IT'D BE A MISTAKE

TO TELL YOU THAT I DID,

BECAUSE THEN:

YOU'D KNOW

AND I'D HAVE TO DO

SOMETHING ABOUT THAT.

AND YOU'D WANT TO RESIS AND THERE'D BE A STRUGGLE

AND SO ON AND SO FORTH.

AND THAT'D BE TOO BAD,

BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE

WE'RE FINALLY STARTING

TO UNDERSTAND:

EACH OTHER.

NOW YOU LISTEN TO ME,

YOU PATHETIC, USED-UP SHELL.

SOME PEOPLE ARE:

COMING HERE TOMORROW,

TO SEE THIS PLACE.

AND IT WON'T DO

FOR THEM TO SEE:

YOU READ ME?

IT JUST WON'T DO.

- I CAN'T DO IT.

- BULLSHIT YOU CAN'T.

- IT'S TOO MUCH.

- WE HAD A DEAL.

- YOU SAID--

- I SAID "ALL THE ROOMS."

ARE YOU REALLY:

IN ANY POSITION:

IT'S LATE.

IT'S A THREE-MAN JOB.

SHUT THE F*** UP!

THATTABOY.

(phone buzzes)

WOMEN-- JUST LIKE

TARGET PRACTICE, RIGHT?

YOU KNOCK ONE OUT,

ANOTHER ONE POPS UP

RIGHT IN HER PLACE.

UH, YOU MIGHT THINK ABOU GETTING STARTED THERE.

AFTER ALL,

YOU'RE JUST ONE GUY.

Jennifer's voice:

THERE'S NO ONE HERE.

Dr. Segal's voice:

GIVEN THE PARTICULARS

IN ADDITION TO THE ADDED

STRESS OF A RECENT...

JESUS. F***.

Jennifer's voice:

I DON'T FEEL SAFE

WITH YOU ANYMORE.

HELLO, COLE.

SHUT UP.

YOU'RE NOT REAL.

Kershe's voice:

ALL RIGHT, IF YOU SAY SO.

I BET THIS LOOKS

FAMILIAR.

NO?

YOU KNOW, IN THE END

IT'S NOT THE WAYS

IN WHICH WE'RE DIFFEREN

THAT DEFINE US, COLE.

IT'S THE THINGS

WE'VE SHARED.

THAT IS OUR STRENGTH.

I DON'T KNOW WHA YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING.

WELL, IT'S NOT YOUR

PRIVATE PROPERTY, COLE.

YOU ONLY WORK HERE,

RIGHT?

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?

DO YOU THINK HE KNOWS?

KNOWS WHAT?

ABOUT US.

ABOUT YOU AND ME.

KERSHE.

AT YOUR SERVICE.

SHUT UP.

I--

YOU'RE NOT REAL.

YEAH.

I'M AFRAID IT'S A LITTLE

MORE COMPLICATED

YOU THINK YOU'RE THE GUY

IN THE UNIFORM:

WITH HIS NAME:

STITCHED ONTO THE TAG,

BUT YOU'RE NOT EVEN

THE SUIT.

YOU'RE JUS THE NAME ON THE TAG.

(panting)

I'M LOSING MY MIND.

YOU DON'T HAVE A MIND

TO LOSE.

YOU'RE NOT REAL.

UNFORTUNATELY, COLE,

YOU'RE NOT REAL.

WHAT ARE YOU TRYING

TO DO TO ME?

YOU REALLY DON' REMEMBER, DO YOU?

OR ELSE YOU WON'T.

IT'S AMAZING,

ISN'T IT--

THE LENGTHS:

THAT WE'LL GO TO

TO FORGET THE TERRIBLE

THINGS WE'VE DONE?

WHAT THE F***

ARE YOU DOING TO ME?

SHH.

TAKE IT EASY, COLE.

I HAD BEEN SUFFERING

FROM CERTAIN DELUSIONS.

AND FROM WHAT I COULD

GATHER, LIFE WITH ME

HAD BECOME INCREASINGLY

DIFFICULT FOR MY FAMILY.

I DON'T REALLY THINK

THAT YOU KNOW:

HOW F***ING HARD

THIS HAS BEEN FOR ME.

SO I ADMITTED MYSELF

INTO A 30-DAY

TREATMENT PROGRAM.

Jennifer:

I DON'T FEEL SAFE

BUT WHEN THE TIME CAME

FOR ME TO GO HOME,

IT WAS PRETTY CLEAR

THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE

WHO THOUGH THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA.

AND THESE ARE:

FOR YOU AS WELL.

USE ONLY AS DIRECTED

ON THE LABEL.

NO MIXING WITH ALCOHOL.

OKAY.

Kershe's voice:

EVERYBODY WAS CONCERNED

THAT I WAS GONNA HAVE

A DIFFICULT TIME

OUT THERE:

IN THE BIG BAD WORLD.

I ASSURED THEM:

THEY WERE WRONG.

BUT THEY'D ALREADY

MADE UP THEIR MINDS.

Jennifer:

I'VE ALREADY STARTED

AND ALL I ASK:

IS THAT YOU DON'

Kershe's voice:

I WAS ASKED TO LEAVE

THE HOUSE:

THAT I HAD PAID FOR...

THIS IS F***ING

UNBELIEVABLE.

Kershe's voice:

...BY THE WOMAN

SO F***ING HARD

TO GIVE IT TO.

AND I KNEW:

AT THAT MOMENT THAT--

WELL, THAT I WAS

ALL ALONE IN THE WORLD.

THAT WAS A FEELING

THAT FOLLOWED ME EVERYWHERE.

CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME

JUST EXACTLY:

HOW THE F*** SOMETHING

LIKE THIS HAPPENS?

- MR. KERSHE.

- TAKE IT EASY.

DON'T TELL ME

TO TAKE IT EASY, TODD.

Kershe's voice:

AND WITH NOBODY:

IT BECAME:

PALPABLY OBVIOUS

THAT EVERYONE WAS

AGAINST ME.

AND THE PEOPLE:

WHO WERE SUPPOSED TO BE

THE CLOSEST TO ME--

THEY WERE THE WORS OFFENDERS OF ALL.

Sam:
MOM!

Kershe's voice:

AND I UNDERSTOOD THEIR

TO BE AN ATTACK...

THAT THEY WERE TRYING

TO KILL ME:

WITH THEIR DISREGARD.

SO I DID WHAT I FEL I HAD TO DO

TO PROTECT MYSELF.

(two gunshots)

(gunshot)

I DIDN'T KILL MY FAMILY.
