Session 9 Page #3

and they'd cook the aborted fetuses.

- Enough!

- MIKE:
Huh?

- This happened here?

- Oh, yeah. Everywhere.

Satanic Ritual Abuse Syndrome

was big in the '80s.

Destroyed a lot of families.

Patricia was ready to sue hers.

It was all set to go to trial, and...

- What?

- She dropped the suit.

Why?

MIKE:
Well, her parents discovered

a physical examination

she'd undergone about a year prior.

Turns out she was a virgin.

[Mike laughs]

None of it happened.

So the family countersues. They win.

That, and the budget cuts.

And... poof.

- JEFF:
So, Mike, is that story true?

- MIKE:
Yeah.

How do you know all that stuff, man?

My dad was a lawyer.

He was on the case.

Aw, come on, Mike,

don't be so humble.

His dad's the state attorney general,

So you better watch

your ass there, buddy.

Hank, leave it alone, will ya.

You were supposed to carry the torch

too, right? Tufts Law School?

Hank, drop it.

What were you on there again, Mike?

The one-year plan?

- Need help with that?

- No, I'm fine, thank you.

- Jesus!

- Tough weekend, boss?

No, I think I pulled a muscle

or something.

Mike and I called you Saturday night

to take you out to Molly's

for a beer over the winning bid.

Aw, cheers, man, sorry and all.

I was trying to catch up

on some sleep.

- Baby still got that ear thing?

- Oh, yeah.

So, Gordy, if we don't make Monday...

- Oh, Griggs likes jobs done fast.

- No, I understand that.

But if we lose this bonus?

We won't lose the bonus.

Listen, man,

I know where this is leading,

but, believe me, Jeff is young, okay,

but he's not as stupid as he looks.

I'm not talking about Jeff.

We ran into Craig McManus

on Saturday night.

I told him about the job,

about the bonus.

He would leave Yankee

and work for us in a second.

Now, he has more experience

than Hank, and he gives a sh*t.

Phil, your job here is to keep things

on track and to eliminate obstacles.

And that's what I'm trying to do,

is to eliminate an obstacle.

Jesus, man.

We're talking about Hank here.

Now, listen, if I thought he was

a liability, I'd let you sack him.

As it happens, he's not.

- And I don't agree.

- I don't care!

Now, let's finish the decon chamber.

Jesus, Phil.

Fine.

[ Electrical humming ]

- All right. All right.

- Let's go, turn right, turn right.

Now, when you get it straight,

you gotta bring the nose down.

Bring...

Don't look at me. Look...

What are you, a lobotomy case?

- F*** you, man! I got it!

- MIKE:
Put the nose down!

Turn around! Jesus!

- MIKE:
Nice job, Jeff!

- That wasn't me, man.

- Yeah.

- JEFF:
F*** you, dude.

- MIKE:
Just, just wait there.

- What?

MIKE:
Just... hang on.

What the hell?

Huh?

Okay, go down

and check the breaker box.

No, I can't do that.

Why?

I got nyctophobia.

- What?

- Fear of the dark.

Okay.

I'll go check the breaker box.

You... just try not to break anything,

okay, mullet head?

Thanks, man.

[ Electrical humming ]

Oww!

[ China breaking and screaming ]

Oh, damn!

[Groans]

Goddamn!

[ Birds singing ]

- You okay?

- GORDON:
Yeah, it's fine.

- Good first day, Gordo.

- Hm-mm.

Listen, Mike needs another hour.

The genny carburetor's acting up.

Okay, but listen, I don't want anyone

hanging around this place after dark.

Okay. No problem.

Good first day, guys.

It keeps up like this,

we'll all be dead by Monday.

Hey, f*** you, Phil!

[ Laughing ]

PHIL:
See you in the morning.

[ Car horn honking ]

[ Nocturnal animal sounds ]

[Tape running ]

[ Tape rewinding ]

DOCTOR:

I know this is difficult, Mary.

And that's why we're

here to help, okay?

MARY:
I miss Peter.

I miss him so much!

[ Mary crying ]

Mary, I want you to try to remember

what happened 22 years ago.

On Christmas night in Lowell.

MARY:
That's where we grew up.

DOCTOR:
Yes. Can you tell me what

happened that night in Lowell?

MARY:
Nothing happened!

- Mary, something did happen.

DOCTOR:
That's why

we have these sessions,

to help you remember,

so you can get better, okay?

MARY:
No. No, I can't remember.

DOCTOR:
File note.

Patient is showing extreme agitation.

She is putting her fingers

in her mouth.

Mary... Mary?

LITTLE GIRL VOICE:

Will you share a doll, Mr. Doctor?

DOCTOR:
Who am I speaking with?

LITTLE GIRL VOICE:

Mary got a china doll from her mommy.

And we can't find it now.

DOCTOR:
No, Princess,

I haven't seen it.

DOCTOR:
Maybe Billy knows

where your china doll is.

PRINCESS:
Silly Billy!

[ Princess laughs ]

DOCTOR:

Princess, tell me what happened

on Christmas

22 years ago in Lowell.

PRINCESS:
We got presents.

Mary got a pretty china doll,

and Peter got a big old knife.

[ Princess chuckles ]

DOCTOR:
Then what happened?

PRINCESS:
Mary's mommy and daddy

went to sleep.

And then we played upstairs.

Peter turned off the lights and hid.

And Mary tried to find him.

[Children giggling ]

DOCTOR:

Who played upstairs, Princess?

PRINCESS:
Mary and Peter,

and me and Billy, silly!

DOCTOR:
Has Billy told you

what happened next?

PRINCESS:
Billy only tells me

nice things, Mr. Doctor.

Like, that I'm pretty.

DOCTOR:
Princess,

was Simon there that night?

PRINCESS:
Simon?

Ooh, I don't know any Simon.

DOCTOR:
Billy's never told you

about Simon?

PRINCESS:
No.

I'm tired, Mr. Doctor.

DOCTOR:
Maybe Billy

would like to talk now.

PRINCESS:

Billy's asleep, Mr. Doctor.

He's asleep.

[ Gordon groans ]

[ Generator running ]

[ Gordon breathing heavy ]

GHOSTLY VOICE:
You can hear me.

[ Loud banging ]

Genny's gassed up and running, sir.

MIKE:
Very good.

Make sure she stays that way.

I don't want her dying on us.

MIKE:
Put your mask on, Princess.

JEFF:
F*** off.

I'm not your princess, dude.

What?

JEFF:
So, what's up

with Phil and Hank?

What's up with Phil and Hank?

Hank stole Phil's girlfriend.

It's a nightmare.

You don't want to get involved.

You especially don't want to get

on Phil's bad side.

He'll give you the grunt work, all right?

[ Hank humming ]

[ Reggae music audible

from headphones ]

[ Drops sprayer on the ground ]

1883. F***, yeah!

[ Scratching wall with a tool ]

SINGER ON RADIO:

Free at last! Free at last!

[ Radio clicks ]

PHIL:
Yo, Henry, come back.

Hank? Come back!

Uh, yeah, yeah, Hank here.

PHIL:
I want you with Jeff and Mike after lunch,

so bring your gear up.

Yeah, all right. Hank out.

[ Stuffing coins in the wall ]

[ Water slowly dripping ]

Gordo!

Got your wallet.

Nice grab. Okay, ladies,

time to thank Uncle Gordy for lunch.

JEFF:
Thanks, Uncle Gordon!

PHIL:
Your turn tomorrow, Hank.

Where's Mike?

The equipment room,

looking for those lost cartridges.

Jesus, Phil!

I told you, I didn't want anyone

wandering around here by themselves!

Okay, boss.

It won't happen again, okay?

Do you got my scratch tickets?

Yeah, I got 'em right here, Bubba.

I'm comin'.

Let's see, Hank, your scratch tickets.

There you go. There's one.

HANK:
Oh, Phil, these are Jubilee.

You know I play Blackjack.
