Session 9 Page #7

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.

DOCTOR:
Simon?

SIMON:
You know who I am?

DOCTOR:
Billy has told me

a lot about you.

SIMON:
Billy is a smart boy.

DOCTOR:
What happened

on Christmas night in Lowell?

SIMON:
Use your imagination.

DOCTOR:
I'd rather you tell me,

Simon.

SIMON:
Peter was naughty, doc.

DOCTOR:
What did Peter do?

SIMON:
He shouldn't

have done it, doc.

DOCTOR:
Tell me, Simon.

SIMON:
He scared Mary, doc.

[ Mary screaming ]

SIMON:
He crept up behind her

in the dark.

And he scared her.

[ Mary screaming ]

SIMON:
Mary fell down, doc.

[ China breaking and Mary screaming ]

SIMON:
She fell on her doll.

It cut her up, doc.

It cut her up real bad.

She needed someone to help her.

So I introduced myself.

Hello, Mary.

And I told her to cut up Peter, doc.

Do it, Mary.

[ Simon laughing ]

SIMON:
To cut him up real bad.

[ Peter crying ]

SIMON:
Good thing his knife

was brand-new.

[ Simon laughing ]

SIMON:
Real sharp.

[ Simon continues laughing ]

SIMON:
And then, just so her mommy

and daddy wouldn't get mad...

[ Simon chuckles ]

SIMON:

...I told her to cut them up, too.

Do it.

[ Mary's parents screaming ]

SIMON:

There was a lot of blood, doc.

So much blood.

But Mary wanted to do it.

Do it, Mary!

So she did it.

[ Jeff screaming ]

Gordon, come back, please.

[ Insects buzzing ]

GORDON:
Who is that?

Gordon, it's Jeff.

I'm by the van.

[ Radio clicks off ]

I'm sorry, man. I was freaking out.

The lights went out.

I got these in the van.

Is that okay?

[ Birds singing ]

PHIL:
Come back.

Come back.

This is Gordon.

PHIL:
We found the one...

The one responsible.

[ Drops radio ]

[ Water dripping ]

You've got to be kidding me.

Freaking beautiful.

Gordon!

Hello? Hello? Hello?

Phil?

McManus is here.

Where are you guys?

Phil?

I mean... I mean...

He was a liability.

Who did this?

[ Sighs ]

Well...

I mean...

He brought it on himself.

Didn't he? I mean, it's typical...

Typical Henry.

Wrong place at the wrong time.

You did this.

PHIL:
Gordon.

I need you to wake up...

...and take... a really...

...really...

...good look at him.

Oh, Jesus.

What are you doing here?

GORDON:
It's okay, Hank.

Hank, it's okay, it's me.

You hang in there, brother.

You hang in there.

We'll try and get you

some help, okay?

You know what I wouldn't do?

I wouldn't tell anybody about this.

Because if they find out about Hank,

they're gonna find out

about the others.

You did this.

What are you...?

What are you doing here? Huh?

You got those guys, didn't ya?

You hired those guys to do this?

Gordy, you are asleep.

- You hired those guys to kill him.

- You're asleep.

- Where are the others?

- Open your eyes.

- Where are they?

- You've got to wake up.

- You tell me where they are.

- Would you wake up?

- Tell me.

- Would you wake up?

I am f***ing awake!

CRAIG:
Hey! Gordon!

Who you talking to, man?

Gordon?

CRAIG:

I'm a little confused here, man.

What's, uh...

Hey, what is it?

Hey, Gordon!

[ Craig yells ]

[ Hank groaning ]

No!

No!

SIMON:
Do it, Gordon!

What are you doing here?

[ Carnival-like music plays ]

DOCTOR:
Why did you do it, Simon?

SIMON:
Because Mary let me, doc.

They always do.

[ Carnival-like music continues ]

What are you doing here?

[ Hank screaming ]

SIMON:
They always do.

[ Simon laughing ]

PHIL:
You know what I wouldn't do?

I wouldn't mention this

to anyone, Gordy.

Gordy.

PHIL:
I wouldn't tell anybody

about this.

Because if they find out about Hank,

they're gonna find out

about the others.

I found Hank, Gordy.

He's hurt, and he said

you did it to him. Is that true?

Gordy? Gordy!

[ Phil yelling ]

[ Simon laughing ]

GORDON:
Who did this?

PHIL:
Well...

He brought it on himself.

Didn't he?

Wrong place at the wrong time.

[ Mike screaming ]

[ Simon laughing ]

GORDON:
Where are the others?

PHIL:
Gordy, you are asleep.

Uncle Gordon!

PHIL:
Wake up!

The lights went out.

I'm sorry, man.

I was freaking out.

I got these in your van.

Is that okay?

[ Jeff yells ]

[ Insects buzzing ]

PHIL:
Gordy.

I need you to open your eyes now.

Wake up.

And remember.

WENDY:

Roses? They're lovely!

What's the occasion, Gordon?

[ Wendy laughs ]

WENDY:
Not here, Gordon. Later.

Watch out! Gordon!

[ Gordon and Wendy screaming ]

WENDY:
Oh, my God, Gordon...

No!

Stop!

No, stop, Gordon! No!

SIMON:
Do it, Gordon.

[ Wendy screaming ]

[ Dog barking ]

[ Baby crying ]

[ Dog yelping ]

[ Baby's crying continues ]

SIMON:
Do it, Gordon.

[ Strained crying ]

SIMON:
Do it now.

GORDON:
No!

[ Water dripping ]

[ Gordon sniffling ]

GORDON:
Wendy. Wendy, it's me.

Please don't hang up. Please.

I just want to say how sorry I am

for what's happened.

I am so sorry.

I am so lonely here.

[ Crying ]

I want to come home.

I want to hold you.

I want to hold my baby.

Can you forgive me?

Can you forgive me?

DOCTOR:
And where do you live,

Simon?

SIMON:
I live in the weak

and the wounded...

...doc.
