Session 9 Page #6

Synopsis: An asbestos abatement crew wins the bid for an abandoned insane asylum. What should be a straightforward, if rather rushed, job, is complicated by the personal histories of the crew. In particular, Hank is dating Phil's old girlfriend, and Gordon's new baby seems to be unnerving him more than should be expected. Things get more complicated as would-be lawyer Mike plays the tapes from a former patient with multiple personalities, including the mysterious Simon who does not appear until Session 9, and as Hank disappears after finding some old coins.

Now, I've got Craig

coming over tomorrow.

If Griggs hears about this,

you understand what that means, right?

You want to lose this gig?

You want to lose the bonus?

'Cause that's what's gonna happen.

So, what do we do?

Okay, you listen to me.

You follow my lead.

You let me handle this, okay?

I don't give a sh*t what happens.

F***! I'm in charge now.

So, what did he say?

It think it might happen Saturday.

I don't...

Hey.

MIKE:
We were just talking

about your nephew.

And how he's coming along.

That sort of thing.

And how's he coming along?

[ Electrical humming ]

[ Jeff climbing stairs ]

Hank?

Yo, dude, hello!

Hank!

You're in some deep sh*t,

you know that?

What are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

What are you doing here?

Everyone thinks you're in Miami

at that Casino School.

F***ing Gordon and Phil

want your head, man!

So, dude, did you score

on a scratch, or what?

What are you doing here?

Listen, I forgot something.

I'll be back.

You know, um,

he just needs a little motivation.

- That's... pretty much it.

- Yeah.

What do you think, Phil?

Same, I think he's a little slow.

But, uh...

With Hank gone and Craig coming on,

we'll pick up the slack.

MIKE:
I mean, I'll motivate him...

the little mullet head.

He may be party in the back, but I'll

make sure he's business in the front.

- What time is it?

- I think it's noon. About noon.

- Lunch time.

- MIKE:
Yeah.

Want to place the order?

Yeah. Yeah, sure, sure.

MIKE:
I think it's Phil's turn, though,

right, Phil?

- F*** it, Mike. Let's flip for it.

- What?

- Let's flip for it.

- Where'd you get that?

PHIL:
Found it. It might even be

worth something, too. You ready?

- MIKE:
You found it?

- PHIL:
Yep.

Call it in the air.

Heads or tails?

MIKE:
Heads.

Tails. Get going, loser.

What?

What?

Hey, Uncle!

Gordon?

- JEFF:
I found Hank!

- Gordon?

What do you want, Jeff?

I found Hank.

PHIL:
What the f***

are you talking about?

I just found Hank... in the stairwell.

He was just standing there.

Don't be a f***ing idiot, okay?

I'm not a f***ing idiot!

I swear to God, I saw him!

If he's in Miami, Jeff,

why would he be here?

How could that be possible, Jeff?

I don't know, but I saw him!

PHIL:
You know what?

Go back to work, we'll bring you lunch.

Where was he, Jeff?

In the staircase,

next to the equipment room.

Wait... wait a minute.

You believe him?

You believe this punk, Gordon?

Gordon!

Oh, for Christ's sakes, Mike!

This is so goddamn ridiculous!

Gordon!

If he's in Miami,

why would he be here?

Ask him yourself, Phillie.

Right up there.

We're gonna do that, Jeff.

We're gonna do that, my man.

That's what we're doing, man.

That's where I'm taking you.

We're gonna do that.

- JEFF:
I'm telling you, he's up there.

- PHIL:
Where is he?

He was standing right there.

It's f***ing weird, but he's right here.

I'm telling you. He's right...

Right over where, Jeff?

I swear he was. I'm not lying.

Why would I make this up?

PHIL:
Nice going... Jeff.

Okay, listen to me guys, now.

You heard me on the phone with Amy.

Am I right?

She said Hank went to where?

Miami! Okay?

Now, we heard it,

we all heard it, right?

No... no, we didn't.

What?

- I want to go to lunch.

- No, you stay where you are.

What are you saying, Gordon?

You told us that's what she said,

but we didn't hear her say it.

We saw you on the phone,

we heard you on the phone,

we didn't hear Amy.

Right, so what you're saying to me

is that it wasn't Amy on the phone?

Is that what you...?

Mike, now, come on, man.

This is what I'm talking to you about.

- Mike. Mike, give me that cell phone.

- Why?

'Cause I want to talk to Amy.

What? I spoke to Amy.

You don't need to speak to Amy.

- Give me the cell phone.

- Don't give him the f***in' cell phone.

- Give me the cell phone.

- Mike, that's what I'm trying to tell you.

- Give me the cell phone.

- He's losing it, man.

Mike, give me the cell phone!

This is what I'm telling you.

He's losing it, man!

- Look at him! He's losing it, man!

- Give me the f***in' cell phone!

[Walking upstairs]

- What the f*** was that?

- It's Hank!

JEFF:
It's Hank!

Okay, okay.

Jeff, Mike, go downstairs.

Make sure he doesn't come around.

You, you come with me.

Hey! F*** you!

You come with me.

Let's go.

Mike!

PHIL:
Come on, Jeff.

- Oh, wait, you heard him go that way.

- Take the tunnels. They're safer.

Safer?

Gordo, this could be anybody.

Could be squatters, could be kids.

Come on, Phil, slow down, man.

He's not f***ing down here.

God!

Hey, Gordo, did you hear that?

I thought I heard something

down there, in the tunnels.

Did ya hear it?

No. No, it's this way.

Gordo, I'm going down in the tunnels,

all right? You follow up top.

Mike! Mike, we stick to...

F*** this.

What the f***, Phil?

Man, slow down.

- So f***ing stupid! Why?

- Shh! Shh!

[ Electrical humming ]

- I don't hear anything.

- PHIL:
Shh! Shh!

Give me your torch.

This is f***ing dumb.

He's not gonna be down there.

Shut up!

I want you to stay right there.

You see or hear anything, you call me.

You understand me?

- I left my walkie in the van!

- Stay there!

- Phil, wait!

- PHIL:
What, Jeff?

When I saw Hank,

I think he had blood on his hand.

Stay there.

DOCTOR:

BILLY:
We were playing

hide n' seek, sir.

[ Kids laughing ]

BILLY:
Mary was looking at her new doll,

and she was looking for Peter.

It was real dark.

Phil?

BILLY:
No, I won't tell!

Mary's a good girl!

She doesn't need to know!

- DOCTOR:
What?

- BILLY:
What Simon did!

DOCTOR:
To who, Billy?

To who?

[ Billy crying ]

BILLY:
To Peter!

DOCTOR:
What did Simon do

to Peter, Billy?

BILLY:
I won't do it!

DOCTOR:
Tell me,

so that we can make Mary...
