INT. ROOM
Gordon bursts through the door. Four scientists turn around and see Gordon pointing the shotgun at them. He immediately shoots one
scientist, who crashes into a stack of beaker bottles. Everyone screams. Edgar, bald with white hair on the sides, mid-fifties with a skinny build stands up.
EDGAR: Gordon Freeman are you insane? Stop attacking immediately! You stupid jack ass.
Gordon shoots him in the leg as the other two looked on in horror.
GORDON: I' ll let the rest of you jack offs live if you tell me where Ron went.
SCIENTIST 1: I haven' t seen him today.
SCIENTIST 2: I don ' t know where he is.
GORDON: Then where is Laura Fuller? I want to fuck her so bad.
SCIENTIST 1: How dare you speak of her that way! She is a highly respected scientist. You have no business talking to her.
Gordon shootshim in the arm and thescientists scream.
SCIENTIST 2: Please, stop shooting!
Gordon walksoverto Edgar.
GORDON: You son of a bitch. The way you talked to me. The things you did.
EDGAR: I'm sorry.
FLASH BACK
INT. ROOM
Gordon is in a room with other scientists. He is repairing an HEV charger. Edgar walks in behind him.
EDGAR: You still haven't fixed that fucking thing yet?
GORDON: I don't have the right equipment.
EDGAR: Get it fixed. There are no excuses. Do you understand me?
GORDON: How am I supposed to fix this without a power drill? These bolts are tough to get off.
Edgar screams and pounds the table with both fists. The scientists look at him.
EDGAR:(screaming)Just fix it! Just fix the damn thing! There's a guy in a wheelchair who does his job better than you!
GORDON: It's kind of-
Edgar screams again and pound his fists on the table. His hand begin to bleed. A scientist comes over.
EDGAR: He's making me lose it. I'm going to go crazy.
SCIENTIST: (to Gordon) You see what you done? (to Edgar) It's okay, I'll fix it.
EDGAR: Look what he made me do. My hands, they're shaking. My head hurts now. Gordon Freeman, you truly are a fucking imbecile. I'm going to the administrator and I'm going to have a word with him.
Gordon stands up and gets in Edgar's face.
GORDON: Go for it.
Edgar shakes his head and leaves the room. Gordon smiles.
END FLASHBACK
GORDON: Of all the people in the facility, I think I hate you the most. You were a pretty nice guy when I met you, but when you got you promotion, you became a fucking asshole. Always screaming, always taking it out on me. You're defenseless now. I went home every night thinking about what I should do to you.I have the perfect idea.
EDGAR: Please, I don't want to die. I 'm sorry. Please forgive me, I have a family.
GORDON: I don't care about your damn family. You should have thought about them before you treated me like shit. Now what did you say to the administrator?
EDGAR: I didn't say anything, I swear I didn't. I said I would but I never did it.
Gordon sees a large pair of garden shears hanging on the wall and takes
them. Edgar throws a glass bottle at Gordon and it strikes him in the head. The scientists head for the door.
EDGAR: Ha! So long jackass.
The scientist reach the door but it is locked. Gordon smiles.
GORDON: I'm not stupid like you think. Say goodbye to the family jewels.
EDGAR: Noplease.
SCIENTIST 2 : There are other ways to resolve this.
EDGAR:Welldon'tstand there you idiots help me!
As the other scientists approach, Gordon punches one in the face and throws the other one down. Gordon unbuckles Edgar's pantsandpulls themo ff. He uses the gardenshears to cut off the scientists penis.
EDGAR:( screaming) Noooooooooooooooo!
Blood gushes everywhere as the scientist continues to scream.
EDGAR:Why?
SCIENTIST 2: What evils possessed you to do such immoral acts of violence?
Gordon shot him and then shot the other scientist. He looks down at Edgar.
GORDON: Maybe I 'llkill your family next. I got some fun planned for you.
Gordon takes a circular saw off a table and runs the blade near Edgar's face. He swings the blade by him and Edgar shakes.
GORDON: Are you going to piss yourself. (pause) Oh yeah, never mind.
He moves the saw blade away from him and suddenly flashes back to when Edgar was screaming at him. He drives the circular saw into Edgars face and he screams. Gordon cuts off both of his arms and Edgar falls to the ground. Gordon kicks him over and uses the saw to cut into Edgar's head. Heturns off the saw, drops it and leaves the room.
EXT. HALLWAY
As Gordon walks past a phone on the wall, it rings. He answers it.
VOICE: Hello Gordon. I 'm going through the security tapes and saw all the sick things you'vedone.
Gordon: Who the fuck is this?
VOICE: It's me.
GORDON: Ron?
RON: Who else would it be you sick asshole?
GORDON: Those cameras should have been shut off.
RON: I saw all the people you killed. Those were my friends.
Ron hangs up. Gordon slams the phone on the wall and continues down the hallway. He looks inside a closet and finds a small gas tank and carries it with him. He looks inside a room that has five scientists. One of them is Benny Harris.
FLASHBACK
Benny is standing behind a glass wall and is staring at Gordon with an angry look on his face. Gordon is on the other side and is wearing a radiation suit. He is using a forklift to carry radiation barrels out of the area.
BENNY: Damn it Freeman! Are you going to take all day? I can do a quicker and better job.
GORDON: Well get your ass in here and do it.
BENNY: Oh, Freeman, I telling the supervisor about your language. How dare you talk to me in that manner.
GORDON: Tell him then.
BENNY: You see Freeman, you will never make it around here. I will ensure you stay beneath every one of us. You are the lowest scum on the face of this earth.
GORDON: That would be your wife, oh wait, she left you.
BENNY: Burn in hell you damn scumbag.
END FLASHBACK
BENNY: Well, Gordon Freeman, what in the hell are you doing here?
GORDON: Where's Laura Fuller?
No one answers. Gordon points the 357 at a scientist.
SCIENTIST 1: She's on the top floor.
GORDON: Good. Now you pussies are going to be my hostages.
BENNY: You don't have a chance in hell of getting away with this. You're all over the camera s. You never did anything right. Ron told me everything you did. I saw his face and I hope you pay. I wish I was the one that fired you.
Gordon punches the h i m in the stomach. He unscrews the gas cap and throws the gas on Benny. He takes out a lighter and lights it. He tosses it onh i m and he screams as he tries to stop the flames. Gordon laughs. One scientist gets a fire extinguisher and puts out the fire. Gordon shoots him and everyone screams.
GORDON: Anyone who does that again will end up like him.
Benny: Please no, the pain is too much.
GORDON: (pointing at a scientist) You muther fucker, pick up the fire extinguisher.
The scientist picks it up.
Gordon lights up the lighter and throws it on Benny. The scientist stands there with the fire extinguisher as Gordon points the shotgun at him.
SCIENTIST 1 : Put out the fire!
SCIENTIST 2 : Hurry!
SCIENTIST 3 : He willkillme.
BENNY: Put it out!
H e burns to death and Gordon laughs.
SCIENTIST 4: Why did you let him die?
SCIENTIST 1 : I thought he was your friend.
SCIENTIST 3 : He was going to kill me.
SCIENTIST 2 : You stood there and did nothing.
SCIENTIST 3 : Don't you understand. He would have killed me!
GORDON: All right shut up!
Gordon shot the scientist with the fire extinguisher and then the two other scientists. He leaves the room.
