Resolution Page #6

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.

is like made by NASA

or something, man.

It's like Teflon.

Goddammit.

Could not get a spring out.

God, it's just...

Just fell asleep,

I guess, after that.

It's tiresome.

F***ing "A", man.

What's up with you?

You scared me.

Why'd you run

in here like that?

Seriously.

I scared you?

Yeah, you came in

guns blazing, man.

- I thought there was a f***ing...

- It's a f***ing scratch.

...war

outside.

Yeah, dude, it's no big deal.

Goddammit.

Woo.

See, man, no problem.

Thank you, nurse.

You're welcome.

There we go.

What's up with your limp?

Yeah, I, uh, I fell running.

F***, dude, I told ya, man,

mountain lions out there.

Homeless guy.

Homeless guy?

Mike, you know what?

There's a lot of hobo

junkies in that cave

I sent you to.

Don't go to that cave, dude.

Hey, I'm sorry, man.

There really are a lot

of weird people out here.

Chris.

Yeah?

Is this your knife?

Hey, man, yeah it is.

I lost it a couple weeks ago.

Man, I could've

used it this week.

Where'd you find it?

Below this f***ing

carving that appeared

while we were asleep.

Looks exactly like the story

on the cave wall yesterday.

Mike, are you

feeling all right?

Yeah.

Mike, are you sure?

Yeah, what's that got

to do with the carving?

I don't know, 'cause when you're out

here, your mind plays tricks on you.

You know, the elevation,

the electrical

does weird things,

and there's satellites

that are always watching.

Will you stop talking

about the satellites?

I don't know how they work either,

Mike, but there are satellites,

and they're always here

always watching.

Look, you are a suicidal

paranoid junkie, okay?

You're my friend,

but you're a crazy drug addict.

Fine, I'm just saying

there's satellites.

Listen, okay?

You never listen.

Will you just listen to me?

Look, I stopped by Sara's

owner's place yesterday, okay?

He knew the people who

owned the equipment

down in the shed.

They have been missing

for thirty years.

Mike, you know I know

you're a good guy,

but I gotta tell ya

I've never seen

any of the stuff

you're talking about.

I get that, okay?

Will you just, will

you just hear me out

so I can just try and

make sense of this?

All right.

All right, so people

come to the boonies

to like explore religion,

or to, uh, hallucinate,

or to tell ghost stories,

or, you know, find UFOs,

or Bigfoot, or whatever,

and we've been led

to some stories.

We've allegedly been led...

Listen, dude!

Look, assume that I am honest

and sane, okay?

We were presented with

several stories, all right?

And all of those stories

had an ending.

What the f*** was that?

Mike, it's an old house.

It's gonna make

noise sometimes.

It's not a big deal.

Look, I'll never really know what

actually happened this last week,

but if I could like

give you closure, or whatever,

maybe it'll make

you feel better.

I mean, we're paid

through until sundown,

but, um, yeah,

I mean at this point I

guess it is what it is.

Will you sit down?

I will never go to rehab.

Ever.

Please just let me kill myself

the way that I want

to kill myself.

I appreciate all the stuff you're

doing for me, man, but as my friend,

you gotta just let me go.

All right.

All right.

Did you Photoshop that?

Why the f*** would you do that?

No, I didn't.

Just give me

the f***ing key, please.

F*** this, I'm going home.

You gotta be f***ing

kidding me, Mike.

Really?

Chris, the slide machine just

turned on and operated by itself.

It's electrical, Mike.

I guarantee you the wiring in this

house is not up to code, man.

There's pictures of us in the

f***ing thing that we didn't take.

I don't know what the f***

you do when you leave here.

Look, ever since I opened up

that clip of you

something's been...

Oh, now you're gonna tell

you didn't open that?

What would convince you that

I'm not lying or crazy?

I don't know.

So, we're at an impasse?

I guess so.

Did you see that?

Did you see that?

See what? See what?

That. That.

F***, no, no!

We need to leave before

they get here.

- Mike, I don't understand.

- Look, man, I'm sorry.

I don't...

Could we go, please?

Wait, hold on. Let's just, uh,

let's just think

about this, okay?

We, uh, we know it doesn't

want me to go home,

but we know we can't stay here.

Mike, we gotta... Please, let's go.

What's going on, Mike?

Just calm down, okay?

We'll be all right.

Mike, no.

- Mike, what's happening?

- I don't know.

Mike, if you had

to guess what...

Okay, say, uh...

Say, uh, say we hit

some film, okay,

and I'm, I'm looking

at you, all right?

We take that film,

we get it developed,

and then when I'm

looking at you,

appears on the photo.

It's basically it's like,

like using your mind

to send whatever you're seeing,

or thinking, or imagining,

to a, to a film,

or a tape, or something.

We were both in that.

I know.

What does it want, Mike?

I don't know.

Afucking, a theory, man?

I think it wants a story.

That's it?

That's all?

I think it wants

a story with an ending.

Mike, wait, wait, wait.

Where're we going?

Okay, on the webcam it was daylight

when they were in the cabin, right?

Uh-huh.

Okay, so we'll take my truck,

we'll drive somewhere nearby,

and we'll come back later

tonight after they're gone.

Then what?

Uh, we'll shake hands,

and I'll go home.

I mean, that's what you wanted

and it gives us an ending.

I found it.

- Found what?

- What I owe Billy.

- Hey, how the f*** did you get...

- I don't know, man!

I was f***ing high, and I tried to

drive this stupid f***ing truck.

Just get it the f***

out of here.

Okay, I will.

Calm down, all right, dude?

Jesus.

Please put it in

the cabin or something.

Sh*t.

Just give it...

I'm going in the house.

Here give me... Up

the f***ing hill.

F*** me.

F***.

F***.

Oh.

Don't, don't play that.

Who is that?

It's Charles' friends.

I'll go talk to 'em.

Hey, I'm sorry we're

a little late,

but we were just leaving.

Wait!

No, please.

Please.

Please! No, wait!

I'm a fath...

Burn it.

It's a horrible idea.

It's a horrible idea.

It's a horrible idea.

All right.

We know I can't go home,

but we can't go to

the cabin any time

today or tonight.

F***, man.

Can you just f***ing

call someone?

Call the f***ing,

call the f***ing FBI.

Call the f***ing FBI

or something

and let's f***ing go!

I can't take this home.

No, we gotta get through

this thing here, okay?

We, uh, we don't even know

if it can do anything to us.

I'll go. I'll go first.

No, we'll both go.

F***, man.

Do you think there's bats?

Probably.

Do you remember Danny Kaiser?

With the messed up teeth?

Yeah.

He was squatting at

a barn up the street.

Like a couple months

ago he got rabies.

Did he die?

He wishes he was

dead because he

was just foaming at the

mouth when they got him.

He was just walking in

circles, and was chasing kids.

He can only say a few words now,

and he just drools all the time.

Look, Mike, I know your leg's hurt, but

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 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.
