The Faceless Man

Don't.

Just don't.

I came because I heard you were sick.

Well you heard wrong.

Go home.

Look, I understand you hate me.

I know it's been tough on you.

Tough?

Please.

You don't understand me.

You never will, especially not now.

Emily.

What?

You're my daughter.

Regardless of what you think, I do care for you.

What do you want, dad?

- Is there anything that I can help you with here?

You wanna help me?

In any way I can.

- Fuck off. - Sorry?

I said fuck off.

Emily!

I don't know where you got this idea I'm some evil man.

We all make mistakes.

I'm trying really hard here.

Really, I am.

You just keep pushing me away.

- Since when have you cared about anyone but yourself?

You drove mom insane.

She's dead because of you.

You nearly drove me mad.

Why?

Why should I trust you now?

I'm a changed man.

(chuckles) You?

Wait, lemme get this straight: You have changed.

I really wanna help you, Emily.

It was hard on me when you left.

I left to get away from you.

If it was for Nina, I wouldn't even have a home to live in.

Yeah and where's Nina now?

What're you tryin' to say?

That you care for me now?

I have cancer and now you care.

Right, my poor daughter has cancer.

Boo fucking hoo and now you're here

trying to reconnect with me.

Wow dad,

what a hero you are.

- You were too young to understand the truth.

I never meant to hurt you and I never will.

The world can be a cruel place sometimes.

A man can be evil,

complete scum deep down.

But the concepts of good and bad

are mere subjective.

What are you tryin' to say?

That the ideology behind a bad person

is simply just someone who's been misunderstood.

- And how is being an alcoholic someone misunderstood?

A form of escapism under pressure;

pressure of a family I had to support.

You can think what you want about me,

but I worked day and night to support my family.

For what?

I mean while we're on that speech,

it was well-written, had a bit of prose to it.

Did you practice it a few times before coming here?

Emily, I need you to believe me.

You come here

to see me.

I mean someone you haven't even bothered to see in years.

Runaway child.

I fended for myself without your help

and I will continue to do so, so just leave.

Harrison.

Harrison Beckman.

- I think you gotten me mistaken for someone else.

No, no, no, no.

You're Harrison Beckman because I voted for you

after you started the campaign against cancer

and wrote that article about supporting your daughter.

Our son's been sick for a long time

and you've been a big help to us.

So to meet a legend such as yourself, it's a real honor.

Well done, Harrison.

I haven't seen this man in six years.

What?

That's Harrison Beckman.

No, no, no.

That's lies.

It's all lies.

It's not what you think.

You are a joke.

You're not a man, you're a monster.

God, you never cared about me.

No, you only cared about your own wretched self.

You must feel great, high-and-mighty.

Why don't you just leave me the fuck alone?

Just go to some country town and rule there away from me.

Imagine that, dad.

Hmm?

Running your own country town,

just doing whatever the fuck you want

and making up your own rules.

Oh no no no.

No, but you care.

You care what the newspapers are gonna say next.

"Councilman Harrison Beckman,

"lovable father helping his daughter through cancer."

It's a great title, isn't it?

I bet you must jerk off to this shit!

Oh, do you feel good now?

Come on, tell them!

Tell them all why you're here!

Oh I'm sorry, cat got your tongue?

Fuck!

This is bad for publicity, isn't it?

Shit.

Did I just say all of that out loud?

Well tough fucking luck.

Is everything okay here?

Never been better.

Never been better.

Woo!

My boy!

it was just supposed to be me and you

going away this weekend.

I don't know how I feel about Dave and Chad coming.

It's been three years now.

You deserve a good holiday.

And why are the two hottest girls

not getting in on the action?

- Brad Barns, what do you hope to achieve tonight?

You.

Wow.

- Brad, you're cool and all, but it's not gonna happen.

Hey, Brad.

Those two seem to think so.

- You know, as bad as he is, he's a good sport.

Why would you ever, you know?

- The same reason you're not with lover boy over here.

What?

Oh.

Oh hey, Ems.

Finally, god.

Someone I know.

What are you talkin' about?

This party is great.

Yeah, it's fun the first few times.

But you know, like everything on repeat, it gets boring.

Well Ems, thanks for inviting me.

I appreciate it.

Don't mention it.

- Viktor Nov rivals the boogieman in terms of fear.

I had the same thought,

which is why I was surprised.

What do you mean?

He's a family man, very confidential.

Hates people knowing his identity.

- Nah, I could be a family man if I wanted.

But could you be Viktor?

Yeah, I could.

Yeah, I don't think so.

These have been doin' the rounds.

Very popular.

What are they called?

Joy boys.

- Where the fuck do you come up with these names?

- It's actually a pretty accurate description.

And Dave, don't go around spiking people's drinks

unless you wanna get into trouble.

I'll need a few.

Goin' away this weekend, gonna need my jam.

Why are you two being so antisocial for?

Chad.

When did you get here?

Just before.

I got caught up at work.

Chad, Kyle.

Kyle, Chad.

Hey.

Hello, so how do you know Emily?

That's a story for another day.

Mate, we're not here to fuck spiders.

That's why I fuckin' need you in my next film.

Sounds fun.
