Office LifeEpisode 5: Return of Underton

Underton opens the door to the office and says he's back. As he enters, he spots the security desk askew with someone lying on top of it and finds the signs of fighting odd. He walks past the desk, thinking to himself that the person isn't dead but there's nothing he can do to help and that he needs to find out what happened.
Underton takes a corner and says oh my God in shock. On the ground are Jason Cowell, head of security, and the guy from the front desk, Adam, the latter holding a baseball bat. Nearby are bodies of people bleeding and blood all over the walls. Underton asks them what happened there. Adam and Jason simply exchange glances.
Adam tells Underton to get them some mops and he'll tell him. A few minutes later, Underton comes back and tells them here they are as he holds something in his arms. Adam says great and that he'll tell him what happened while they clean up. He explains that they'd let the workers out for lunch and when they tried to round them up, the workers resisted, so they had no choice but to use force. In a flashback, we see Adam running with his baseball bat after a man while Jason shouts get him.
Adam reminisces that on various occasions the office workers tried to outsmart them, as we see a male worker smiling gleefully as he sees the bathroom sign and decides to hide there. Unfortunately for them, Adam and Jason were always one step ahead, as we see the man enter the bathroom then screaming as a cracking sound is heard.
In a flashback, Adam peeks out from the bathroom laughing to himself. Back in the present, Adam, holding a wooden stick, concludes that that's the reason for the mess and asks Underton how was the autopsy. Underton replies wow to the story, then says that the doctor took his appendix. Adam says ouch and asks if Underton had appendicitis. Underton tells him no and explains that the doctor wanted a souvenir.
Adam starts to ask what led Underton to the hospital if it wasn't appendicitis, only to suddenly realize he's holding a shovel and not a mop. He angrily tells Underton he'd better have a good explanation for this. Underton starts to reply.
Suddenly, Underton points forward and exclaims it's you. The man in the suit welcomes him back and says he missed him. Underton tries hitting him with his shovel, but the man blocks it with his briefcase.
Staring at his own hands, Underton asks how he could fail, to which the G-man tells him mere gardening implements cannot stop him. Behind Underton, looking a bit unsettled, Jason asks Adam why Underton is talking to a plant. Adam replies he has no idea. Underton then screams that he'll never take him alive.
As Jason and Adam watch, Underton leaps toward the wall with a hurrah, then intentionally breaks his own neck against it, killing himself. Undisturbed, Jason asks Adam if he ever gets the feeling that he's the only sane person there. Adam tells him yeah, all the time. The end.
