EXT. O'NEILL'S BAR - AFTER CLOSING

ROBBIE exits the bar via the back door and starts walking toward his car, which is parked down the alley. He is about halfway way there when he hears FOOTSTEPS behind him. Someone is following him. He speeds up. As he gets closer to his car, the footsteps get louder. He reaches his car and quickly unlocks it. But when he starts to open the door, a hand appears from behind him and slams it shut. He turns around in a panic to find the two drunk jerks from the bar grinning at him.

GUY #2
Told you we'd be back.

ROBBIE
What do you want?

GUY #1
(to guy #2)
Oh! Now he cares what we want!

GUY #2
(sarcastic)
I'm touched.

ROBBIE
I'm leaving.

He turns to get into his car but Guy #1 grabs him and turns him around roughly.

GUY #1
I don't think so. You are going to do what WE say now! Got it!

ROBBIE
(desperate)
Fine! What do you want?

The two men smile at each other. Clearly enjoying themselves as they torment Robbie.

GUY #2
We just wanna go for a ride.

ROBBIE
Fine! You want my car?
(holding out the keys)
Here. Take it!

GUY #1
(laughing)
You know? I think he's scared.

GUY #2
I think you're right?

The two just stare at Robbie for a moment, which only frightens Robbie more, before GUY#1 adds...

GUY #1
Well he should be!

Having said that, Guy #1 punches Robbie in the stomach causing him to double over in pain. He then opens the car door and shoves Robbie inside. Guy #2 climbs in the backseat next to Robbie as Guy #1 gets in the drivers seat, starts the car, and drives off.

INT. ROBBIE and TINA'S APT. - NIGHT

TINA is sleeping in her bed. She rolls over and throws her arm across the area of the bed where Robbie would normally be. Opening her eyes, she realizes that he isn't there.

The CLOCK reads 3:30am.

INT. HANSEN KITCHEN - MORNING

JOANIE, JIM and HANNAH are all seated at the kitchen table eating their breakfast as SYD enters through the back door.

SYDNEY
Good Morning!

HANNAH
Aunt Syd. Guess what? Luke and Pete are coming over today and we're going to the zoo!

SYDNEY
You are!?!

JIM
Yes we are. Today is Robbie and Tina's anniversary and I thought it would be nice surprise if I took the kids off their hands for the day!

SYDNEY
Aren't you a sweet grandpa!

She kisses him on the head and then heads to the counter to get herself some coffee.

Hannah turns to Jim.

HANNAH
Grandpa, will I get to hold Luke today. Uncle Robbie wouldn't let me hold him last time!

JIM
Well sweetie, Uncle Robbie is a new daddy. He's not used to having a little baby like Luke so he's just a little nervous and overprotective right now.

JOANIE
That's an understatement. Paranoid is more like it!

Jim laughs and then turns back to Hannah.

JIM
But I'll tell you what. How about if I help you hold Luke before we go the zoo.
(winking at her)
We won't tell Robbie.

Hannah nods her head excitedly.

HANNAH
Can I push him in his stroller too?

JIM
I don't see why not.

The PHONE RINGS and Syd rushes to pick it up.

SYDNEY
Hello?
Oh, hi Tina...What?
No he's not here...

JIM, JOANIE and HANNAH all stop what they are doing and listen to Syd.

SYD
Well did you try O'Neill's?
(listening)
Well, don't panic Tina. Look, I will take a ride over there. I'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation.

She hangs up.

JIM
What's wrong?

SYDNEY
Robbie didn't come home last night.

JOANIE
So, maybe he just go tired and decided to crash at O'Neill's. Wouldn't be the first time.

SYDNEY
Well that's what I'm thinking but Tina said she's tried calling and doesn't get an answer. So I told her I would take a ride over there and check it out.

JOANIE
I'm sure everything is fine. It's just another case of Robbie not thinking about how his actions affect other people.

Jim nods his head in agreement but the look on his face suggests that he is not so sure.

SYDNEY
Well, I'm going to head over there now and then go straight to the clinic.

JIM
Let me know when you find him. OK?

SYDNEY
Sure.

As Syd walks toward the door...

JOANIE
And give him a dope slap from me when you find him!

Syd smiles at her and walks out.

EXT. AN ALLEY SOMEWHERE IN PROVIDENCE-DAY

ROBBIE is lying on the ground - unconscious. He is a mess. His shirt is torn and bloodied. His face is badly bruised and he is bleeding from a gash on his forehead. He stirs a bit, then opens his eyes. He struggles to get to his feet but only makes it to his knees. He winces in pain and clutches his side with one hand as he steadies himself with the other.

Down the alley, an older man emerges from one of the buildings, carrying a bag of trash. He doesn't notice Robbie at first and walks in the opposite direction to deposit his trash in a nearby bin. When he turns around to head back to the door he came out of, he notices Robbie struggling to stand up.

MAN
Hey? Are you OK?

Robbie looks up and the man can clearly see now that he has been beaten. He rushes to him.

MAN
Oh my god! Are you alright.?

Robbie doesn't say anything. The man helps him to his feet.

MAN
Who did this to you?

Robbie still doesn't say anything. He looks around- frightened and confused.

MAN
Can you talk? What's your name?

Robbie brings his hand to his forehead, as if trying to remember his own name. He pats down the pockets of his pants to see if perhaps there is a wallet on him. Nothing. He now looks panicked.

The man realizes that Robbie doesn't know who he is or what has happened to him.

MAN
Alright! Just relax. Why don't you come with me. We'll go inside and I'll call the police...

When he hears the word "police" Robbie has a MEMORY FLASH...

He sees himself with his hands on the hood of a car, being frisked by the police. He then sees himself being photographed at a police station. And finally he sees himself being escorted into a cell-the door slams behind him.

Robbie is petrified. He takes a step back from the man. He doesn't want him to call the police. He doesn't want to go to jail.

MAN
What's wrong? It' OK!

Robbie takes a few more steps back. -not sure what he should do. Finally he turns and runs.

MAN
Hey! Wait a sec! Where are you going?

The man shakes his head.

MAN
(to himself)
Stupid kid!

The man turns and heads back to his building, not noticing that on the ground right next to where he stood was Robbie's name tag, which would have clearly identified him as "Robbie- Manager-O'Neill's Bar and Grill".
