Resolution Page #3

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.

stone house thing.

Near the stove thing?

Yeah.

There's a weird record

with a story in there.

There's weird sh*t

everywhere, man.

There's some weird

tires by the river.

Why don't you grab that?

Why'd you send me the video?

I didn't send you a video.

Yeah, you did.

The link you emailed me.

Mike, do you see a computer

or a camera around here, man?

I sold all that sh*t

a year ago to shitty Carl.

What are ya, gonna surround me?

Oh!

I don't think I sent you that.

Yeah, you sent it

to me with a map.

Look, dude, you haven't

slept in like two days

and my brain is

f***ed, obviously,

so why don't you uncuff me

before you go crazy?

Yeah, you're right,

I need sleep.

Hey, I found this library

book on our doorstep.

Oh, that's fantastic.

Do you wanna uncuff me now?

It's cool.

It's like a collection of

fiction writing or something.

God, my legs are

starting to cramp up.

There's a bunch of like

campfire ghost stories.

It's a...

Oh God, they're really

starting to hurt.

Hey, I'm gonna go pay that guy.

Do you need anything?

Yeah, some food would be good.

Uh...

Can you hand it to me, man?

I can barely f***ing move.

There. Thank you.

Just f***ing kill me, man.

Seriously, just f***ing

grab a gun and kill me.

Look, Chris, I'm obviously

I'm not an expert, okay,

but I read that this

is normal, okay?

You're gonna feel weak, and

you're gonna feel helpless,

but eventually,

little by little,

you will get better.

I'm not gonna f***ing

be able to do this, man.

Yes, you can.

Yes, you can.

Trust me on this.

You can do this, okay?

You have my word

you're not gonna die.

F***.

Just f***ing kill me.

Hey.

Hey.

You have four days.

Got it, thank you.

Um, hey, hey, Charles?

My sincerest apologizes

on behalf of both of us.

It doesn't matter.

If I were you, I'd leave.

Ain't nothing you

can do for him.

Hey, can I ask you

a quick question?

With all due respect, um,

why is no one living

in the place?

I mean, why not, you know,

finish it off and rent it?

We rent it out

to tribal members

but it got burnt in the fires.

We couldn't afford to rebuild.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Thank you again.

Hi.

So, these are just

there in its place?

Yeah, it's bizarre, right?

No, I don't care.

Another story with

a f***ed up ending.

What do you think?

About what?

Do you think someone's leaving

these stories for us to find?

I think people leave

their sh*t everywhere

and you f***ing

take it personally.

I don't know, Billy and Micah?

The chick in the window?

I don't know, the f***ing dog?

Like why would somebody be

leaving stuff for us to find?

I don't f***ing know, Mike.

Who gives a sh*t, man?

I got bigger f***ing

problems than your

f***ing f*ggot recordings.

Seriously?

Alcohol has never

been your problem.

Actually, no, I won't say that.

If you have problems

when you drink,

you have a drinking problem.

What the f*** are

you talking about?

Denise "The Beast" Price.

Why you gotta

bring up old sh*t?

She's easily the fattest girl,

I think, that has ever

walked the planet.

I was wasted, man.

I literally saw her

eat an entire block

of Velveeta cheese

in one sitting.

We were making nachos

and the stove was broken.

There's no excuse

for that, dude.

You had sex with

"Grody" Jody Jenkins.

I was in college.

I was hammered.

She looked like John Madden.

No way.

Oh, yeah, she was

a punisher of eyes.

Well, it's not as

bad as the hogs

that Dale used

to bang, remember?

Oh, man, Dale was the man

'cause he owned it, you know?

He had an opinion,

he didn't care, and he

just went for it.

He didn't give a sh*t who

f***ing cared about it.

To Dale.

To Dale.

Chris.

Oh my God, I feel like sh*t.

But in a different way.

Where did this come from?

You were looking at

it when you passed out.

I was?

No, I have no idea.

Well, I mean, you know,

it's hard to tell.

Um, you know, we'll have

to see after, you know,

we get back, but, uh,

yeah, I'm, uh, I'm

really optimistic.

Well, yeah, I mean, I'm

going a little stir crazy

and I miss you a lot.

How ya feeling?

Yeah, but I mean it's

just the mornings, right?

Okay, well then, yeah,

I guess you better

tend to that.

I love ya.

Can I go down to the

stream and wash off?

Nope.

Can I change my clothes?

I'm not changing mine.

Man, you have no faith in me.

Look, if that were the case,

I wouldn't be here.

I just, uh, don't have very

much faith in you right now.

Yeah, likewise.

- What are you talking about?

- You know what I'm f***ing talking about.

Dude, you keep coming

here with these

shitty recordings

and these stupid stories

about how you found 'em, and

you're f***ing acting weird.

I'm...

Okay, I'm not like making

this sh*t up, all right?

I think someone might

be messing with us.

Maybe you have a...

split personalities

and you're leaving

each other gifts

and sh*t for you to find.

Do you want some water?

No, I'm good.

Oh, great, more shitty

f***ing recordings.

You f***ing...

Ah-h-h!

That's impossible.

That could be f***ing filmed

from right outside the window.

Then where's, uh,

where's the glare?

Okay, where's,

where's the glass

if it's outside the window?

It's not f***ing HD,

Mike, it's dog sh*t.

That could be filmed from right

outside the f***ing window.

What, you think it's

Billy and Micah?

I think some f***ing

kids up the street

are just f***ing with ya.

You really think so?

Mike, I don't...

I'm f***ing starving, Mike,

and if you don't stop

talking about this

goddamn shitty

recording business

and f***ing start preparing us some

food, I'm gonna f***ing strangle myself

with my f***ing shoelaces, man.

I swear to God.

Make me beans,

or food, or something.

Yeah, I'll pick up

some stuff for dinner.

Oh, God, thank you.

Do you want me to go with you?

Hey, could I, uh,

could I talk to you

for a second?

Thank you.

You need to be out of there.

No, I know, I just wanted

to ask you about something.

There's a, there's

a shed down the hill

from your place,

do you know why

there's a bunch of playback

equipment in it?

Shouldn't be in there.

I found this journal in there and it was

written all in French, and I was...

Yeah, yeah, we rented it out to a bunch

of French students to research something.

You need to leave.

Did you talk to them?

They said they were

researching folktales.

That's it?

They didn't say anything else?

They asked a lot

about the caverns.

All right, thank you.

We're coming in two days.

I think obviously

we need a kitchen,

some granite countertops.

Of course, granite's probably

not gonna pencil out,

but the thing is it's your

God-given right

to be happy.

Oh, hey, you must be Mike.

Mike, Ted, Ted Tellensworth.

How ya doing?

I was just telling Chris here

how it looks the wool's been pulled

over our collective eyes, so to speak.

Mm-hm.

Oh, we're not

interested in, um,

I'm, I'm Catholic.

I understand.

California, bless their liberal

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…
