Cole
I’m driving to the school.
Cole
I’m going to get Slezak after the assembly...
Cole
Subject him to some ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’!
Lyn
Please don’t hurt Mr. Slezak!
Lyn
We don’t know for sure he’s GrimR!
Lyn
We need more evidence.
Cole
I did some research, got more evidence.
Cole
I found out Slezak was a psychiatric nurse before he went into education.
Cole
Dealing with troubled young adults.
Cole
Until he was stripped of his license and expelled from the nursing profession!
Cole
I’M GOING TO KILL THAT
Lyn
No one has the right to kill anyone – or encourage anyone to kill themselves!
Lyn
Life is precious, Mr. Danton! Sacred!
Lyn
I know...I’m a suicide survivor.
Lyn
Please promise me you won’t
Cole
I just got a text from my wife at the hospital.
Cole
The doctors say if Sadie ever regains consciousness...
Cole
she’ll be permanently disabled, with brain damage.
Lyn
I’m so sorry, Mr. Danton! I know what it’s like to
Cole
I’m picking up texts -
GrimR
Are you in the bathtub, Olivia?
GrimR
All at ease in the warm water...
GrimR
Soothing your naked body.
GrimR
Your beautiful, lush, young body... ;-)
GrimR
And are you all alone in the house, Olivia?
Olivia
Yes. My parents are at the school assembly.
GrimR
It’s just you and me, Olivia – and the memory of your BFF, Scarlett.
GrimR
You’ll be as lovely as she was at her funeral. :-)
GrimR
And just as at peace.
GrimR
With no more pressure from your parents or teachers to excel like your perfect older brothers.
GrimR
Did you get your grandfather’s straight razor, Olivia?
GrimR
Open it up. Careful to not cut yourself – yet. ;-)
Olivia
It’s not going to hurt too much!?
Olivia
I’ll just...bleed out in the bathtub!?
GrimR
Yes. It’ll just be a little bite, Olivia, and then you won’t feel a thing.
GrimR
Except joy and happiness.
GrimR
Just like in all those vampire novels you and Scarlett used to read together.
GrimR
You’ll just float away on a crimson stream...
GrimR
To join dear Scarlett.
GrimR
Now, put the blade against your left wrist.
GrimR
Press down hard and slash deep across.
Cole
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS GOING TO BLEED!
Cole
AND IT IS GOING TO HURT – YOU!
GrimR
What the hell!!?? You stupid -
Cole
DROP THE RAZOR AND GET OUT OF THE BATHTUB, OLIVIA!
Cole
The police and paramedics are already on their way to your house!
Cole
AND I’M COMING FOR YOU, GRIMR!
Cole
Is Slezak still at the school assembly, Lyn!?
Lyn
It’s total chaos here, Mr. Danton!!
Lyn
The parents and students are screaming at the administrators!!
Lyn
There are police trying to hold them back!!
Lyn
He was sitting up on the stage, texting.
Lyn
There he is!! He just ran out the side door, headed for the parking lot!!
Cole
I’m heading to Slezak’s house at 126 Marberry Lane.
Lyn
I see your car, Mr. Danton! Are you inside Mr. Slezak’s home?
Cole
Yeah. He’s not here, yet.
Cole
What are you doing here?
Lyn
I’ll stand guard outside!
Lyn
I’ll let you know if Mr. Slezak or anybody else comes to the house. :-)
Cole
Too dangerous! Your mother doesn’t
Lyn
Mom doesn’t trust me, either!!
Lyn
But I’m all better, Mr. Danton! Really, I am!
Lyn
I’ve never appreciated life more.
Cole
I just don’t want you to get hurt.
Lyn
I don’t want you to get hurt, either, Mr. Danton!
Cole
I’m in Slezak’s study.
Cole
There are books on teen psychology and suicide lining the walls!
Cole
And a desk drawer full of phones!
Lyn
Mr. Slezak just drove up!!
Lyn
He’s getting out of his car!!
Lyn
Get out of the house, Mr. Danton!!
Cole
Slezak has a son – Denny.
Cole
I’m in his bedroom at the end of the hall.
Lyn
Mr. Slezak’s at the front door!!
Cole
Denny’s thirty years old...
Cole
He’s a paraplegic, confined to a motorized wheelchair.
Lyn
Mr. Slezak is inside the house with you!!
Lyn
Please, please get out, Mr. Danton!!
Cole
Denny went to Munroe High.
Cole
There’s a picture of him in Grade 11, in the yearbook...
Cole
Fully able-bodied with his arm around a girl!
Cole
Denny tried – and failed – to commit suicide! He shot himself in the -
Lyn
That sounded like a gunshot!!
Cole
Somebody’s shooting at me through the door!
Cole
I’m going out the window!
Lyn
I’ll meet you in the back lane!!
Cole
GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HERE!
GrimR
Now it’s my turn to mess with you.
GrimR
And kiss Sadie goodbye for me – will you...Dad? ;)
