Barry
Written by
Alec Berg & Bill Hader
Third Draft
12.31.15
CLOSE UP - A MAN washing his hands under a faucet. He turns
the faucet off and dries his hands. This is BARRY BELKIN,
late thirties. He looks a little tired; it's clearly been a
long night. He sizes himself up in the mirror, it's not
apparent if he likes what he sees. Then: he spots something.
It's a gray hair. Clearly his first.
He plucks it and examines it.
BARRY
...shit...
He puts the hair in his shirt pocket, turns and heads out of
the bathroom and into...
INT. ROCHESTER RADISSON HOTEL ROOM - DAWN
A window gives a perfect view of the far from perfect
downtown Rochester, NY.
Barry emerges from the bathroom, removing earplugs. He pats
his jacket, he's missing something. He searches the floor...
...And as he does we begin to see SOMETHING'S OFF: BULLET
HOLES that have sent spiderwebs up the window. Barry finds
what he's looking for: a GLOCK with a silencer. He racks the
bolt, checks the chamber, unscrews the silencer and stows
both parts in his jacket...
...A couple of more steps reveal a DEAD LAWYER IN HIS
PAJAMAS slumped under the window. Barry nudges the body with
his foot. He heads for the door.
MUSIC: "You Are a Runner and I Am My Father's Son" by Wolf
Parade.
TITLES START TO FADE UP, as Barry takes one last look around
the room, then nods. "All set." Barry opens the door...
MATCH CUT TO:
INT. BARRY’S APARTMENT - CLEVELAND - MORNING
...and enters his apartment. Barry wheels his rollercase
into a sparse apartment, looking like any other jet-lagged
guy back from a business trip.
LATER - Barry is eating a bowl of cereal while playing Candy
Crush on his cell.
LATER - Barry is doing push-ups on a yoga mat.
(CONTINUED)
2.
CONTINUED:
LATER - Barry watching a show on his laptop while eating
Wendy's. An Eminem poster is taped up on the wall behind
him. Next to it are framed citations from military service.
LATER -- Barry having a private dance to Ugly Kid Joe's "I
Hate Everything About You."
LATER - Barry taking a shower.
LATER - Barry turns out the lights and sits on his couch. He
stares out the window at the snowy, low rent neighborhood,
glowing orange from the street lights.
Barry is one lonely dude.
CUT TO BLACK. END TITLES.
Beat, then...a cell rings.
INT. BARRY’S APARTMENT - CLEVELAND - DUSK
Barry is asleep on the couch. He stirs. Rummages for his
cell.
BARRY
(into cell)
Hello.
FUCHES (V.O.)
(over cell, no-bullshit)
You back in Cleveland?
BARRY
Uh-huh.
FUCHES (V.O.)
We can say bye-bye to Rochester
lawyer?
BARRY
Yup.
FUCHES (V.O.)
Good. Were you asleep?
BARRY
It’s five in the morning.
FUCHES (V.O.)
You never know with you guys. Some
of you can sleep, others can’t.
(CONTINUED)
3.
CONTINUED:
BARRY
I sleep.
FUCHES (V.O.)
Then I won't keep you too long:
Are you familiar with the Chechen
Brotherhood?
BARRY
No.
FUCHES (V.O.)
Chechen mob out in LA. Ever since
the Balkin war ended these guys
have moved over here to take up
turf. Real deal shit here, Barry.
Shot caller’s a guy named Goran
Pazar...
Barry shuffles over to the coffee maker.
BARRY
LA is far.
FUCHES (V.O.)
This guy is big. This whole thing
is very very big. This could be the
dream, Barry.
BARRY
When do you need me?
FUCHES (V.O.)
Your flight to LA leaves in five
hours. I'll have a car waiting for
you at the airport.
BARRY
Will the car at LAX be nice?
FUCHES (V.O.)
It'll be whatever car my guy can
get on short notice. Oh, and you're
not flying to LAX, you're flying
into Ontario.
BARRY
Fucking Ontario? Why because it's
cheaper?
FUCHES (V.O.)
No, because it's smarter. We have
to cover our tracks.
(CONTINUED)
4.
CONTINUED:
BARRY
That's like a two hour drive.
FUCHES
Gotta cover our tracks.
BARRY
How much cheaper was it?
FUCHES
Safe travels, call me when you get
there.
Barry pours coffee. It's totally because it's cheaper.
INT. BARRY'S APARTMENT BUILDING - FOYER
Barry drags his rollercase loudly down the stairs, causing
his landlord, VICTOR (late 50's) to peek out to make sure no
one is hacking apart the stairs with an ax.
BARRY
Hey Vic. I got a convention in
Albuquerque. I'll be gone for a
couple of days.
VICTOR
I don't even know why you pay rent,
Belkin. I wish you had a pet or
even a plant I could take care of.
But you know what? You don't.
Barry nods. A true, weird observation.
EXT. LA/ONTARIO AIRPORT - PARKING STRUCTURE -
DAY
On the roof of the parking structure. A PLANE ROARS over
Barry as he searches for his car, referencing his cell.
BARRY
(checking license plates)
BDX-7563. BDX-7563.
He finds the car. It's a shitty Camry.
BARRY (cont'd)
Really?
Barry’s cell rings.
FUCHES (V.O.)
You find the car?
