Just like everyone else in the Losers Club, the adult version of Stanley Uris (played by Andy Bean, who looks like a carbon copy of young star Wyatt Oleff) gets a call from Mike informing him that Pennywise has started killing again in Derry 27 years after their first brush with death. Stan, knowing he's not strong enough to face the clown again, and realising that he'll only make his group of friends weaker, decides to kill himself before even going to Derry to hear everyone out. It's a tragic scene of sacrifice, and the film later attempts to shade in his reasoning with flashbacks to young Stan.
