Resolution

Synopsis: Soon-to-be-a-dad Michael makes a last ditch effort to save his longtime but addicted friend Chris from a foreseeable drug related death. Visiting Chris and handcuffing him to an exposed plumbing pipe, Michael forces his buddy into detox, but while watching over his friend he also discovers that all is not right within the territory Chris has drifted into. Situated on Indian Reservation land, the area seems to attract a number of strange people. Someone or some thing has a longtime interest in recording activities in the area, all captured on a variety of recording devices (CDs, film, phonographs, etc.). Michael comes to understand he's been pulled into the latest "story" of an unseen entity, one with a grizzly resolution projected for him and his pal unless they can possibly work out their own agreeable alternate ending.

Yeah, he, uh, he

says he's gonna try.

He was being

surprisingly agreeable.

So...

Yeah, I know, it is a miracle.

I know, I know, there're much

bigger responsibilities.

Well, hey.

Well, hi, where'd

What's your name?

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

Pretty dog.

Hey.

Where'd you get that?

My pocket.

I don't want my

teeth to fall out.

Michael, when you were gone

I took a long, hard

look at myself.

You're right.

I'm pretty f***ed up.

I need to go to rehab.

I'm ready, man.

I'm ready for you

to take me to rehab.

Let's do this.

Uncuff me.

What are you doing?

Why are you doing that?

Mike, let me out

of the f***ing cuffs.

Do you know why

Jimi Hendrix died?

He didn't have Mike Danube

and a set of handcuffs

to save his life.

Here, you're gonna need

water and calories.

It's an empty bag anyway.

Hey, I found someone

you know outside.

Are Billy and Micah outside?

No, you still talk

to those degenerates?

They're my drug dealers.

Oh my God, Sara!

Kill Mike.

Kill Mike, Sara.

I found an address on her tags.

I should probably take

her back to her owner.

Oh yeah, great idea, Mike.

Take away the only thing

in life that keeps me

from killing myself.

She has a really

good imagination.

Hey, some ointment

for your wrist.

I'm gonna fire up some

chili, you want some?

Does it got crack

in it, motherf***er?

Okay, at least drink something.

I read that the dehydration

will only make this worse.

Thank you for this.

I appreciate it.

Please, Michael.

Please.

I need it.

Please, Michael.

Please, Michael.

Please.

I need it, Michael.

Please.

Please, Michael.

I need it.

Please.

Please, Mike.

I need it, Mike.

Please.

Please, Mike.

Please, Michael.

Give me the f***ing key, Mike!

Give me the f***ing key, man!

Justin Benson

Justin David Ramsay Benson (born 1 March 1967 in Dublin, Republic of Ireland) is a former Irish cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and right-arm medium pace bowler as well as an occasional wicket-keeper. Though born in Ireland, he spent the early part of his cricket career playing solely in England, starting by playing minor counties cricket with Cambridgeshire before moving on to play first-class cricket with Leicestershire. He spent five years with Leicestershire from 1988 to 1993 and as his career with them was winding down, he began to play for the country of his birth shortly after they gained associate membership of the International Cricket Council in 1993. He made his debut for Ireland against Australia in 1993 and was then selected for the 1994 ICC Trophy. He carried on playing for Ireland whilst also again playing minor counties cricket for Cambridgeshire, playing in one more ICC Trophy in 1997 as well as the inaugural European Championship in 1996. His last match came against the MCC at Lord's in August 1997 at which point he had represented Ireland 59 times. He was captain in all his games in 1996 and 1997. more…
