Other Monsters (2022) Movie Script
1
[man 2] You're an important man.
[man 1 grunts]
[man 2] You have money...
friends, family.
You can have anything you want.
My whole life...
I've had one good thing.
[punch thuds]
[man 1 grunts, gags]
[panting]
Oh, fuck. [coughs]
[pants, sniffles] No...
[man 2] Sit.
[whimpers]
[grunting]
Please...
[groans, sobs]
[grunts]
[breathing rapidly]
[weakly] What do you want?
Hey, look at me.
I swear, it wasn't me.
It was him. It was Dennis.
[man 2] I know.
[man 1 sobs] You know?
[panting]
-[man 2] You know ringleader?
-[whimpers]
I don't know fucking shit.
I just did whatever
he told me to do.
[sniffles] I didn't... [groans]
I didn't hurt any
of those women. I--
[man 2] Where is he?
-How the fuck would I know that?
-[gun cocks]
I haven't seen him in years!
Wait, please.
Please, wait, wait.
The brothers!
The Dykman brothers.
I know where they are.
Yeah. I know.
[breathing heavily]
[man 2] Where?
If I tell you...
you promise you're
not gonna hurt me.
[man 2] I promise.
Herriman.
Luke and-- Luke and Josh.
They both live there.
[man 2] Where?
Sunbreak. [whimpers]
It's a new neighborhood.
They-- They both bought houses
on the same fucking street.
[man 2] What street?
It's Meadow...
Meadowlark Lane,
Meadowlark Circle
or something like that.
[gasps, pants]
You--
You said you wouldn't hurt me.
[man 2] You won't feel a thing.
[muffled gunshot]
[low, melancholy instrumental]
[woman] Hey, you wanna shower?
[man 1] No, I'm good.
[scoffs] That's my polite way
of saying you stink.
[diner din]
[exhales]
Get you anything else
at the moment?
Mmm-mmm.
-Paper?
-What?
The fucking newspapers?
Oh. Um, I don't even think
we carry the paper.
We might have one
in the break room.
I'll check for you.
Sir, you can't smoke in here.
Where's the smoking section?
[waitress chuckles]
There's no smoking section.
Look, I'm sorry, but you just--
You can't smoke anywhere.
-Anywhere?
-[waitress] Well, outside.
Sir!
[lawyer] So...
your fingerprints
were all over the knife,
not to mention the room.
We were working together.
Right.
Here's the kicker, though.
They did the PERK,
um, the physical evidence
recovery kit,
a rape kit, essentially.
And they found
traces of your...
your DNA inside her.
And signs of
forcible intercourse.
-We were sleeping together.
-Were you sleeping together,
or were you working together?
Both.
I talked to the DA,
and she's willing
to work something out.
With your military service,
I think I can get you
down to manslaughter.
You do ten. 15, max.
You go to trial, they're
going to push for murder one.
Throw in the rape charges,
and you could do life,
Mr. Holloway.
Are you a good soldier?
Good enough.
You see combat?
Can you fight
when you're not three sheets?
Can you drive?
A car?
No. A tank?
Yes.
I need a driver.
For what?
For what I do.
What do you do?
I'm an entertainer.
Like, a singer?
Sure. If that's what they want.
I need a new driver.
Actually,
you don't have to drive even.
I just need an escort.
To do what?
Help me, like, year-around,
make sure my clients
play by the rules.
[waitress] Refill?
[muffled cheering]
[man 1] Yeah!
[man 2] Yes!
[laughing]
[man 1] Hey!
[all laughing]
-[man 1 cheers]
-[man 2 laughs]
[man 1 speaking indistinctly]
[man 2] That face is red!
[laughing continues]
[man 1] Harry!
[man 1] Oh, he's blushing.
[man 3 laughs]
[man 1] Here we go.
[man 1] Oh, he's blushing.
[man 2] Yeah. [cheers]
-[man 3] Go on.
-[man 2] Yeah, yeah.
[man 2 cheers then whistles]
[laughing]
[all laugh and cheer]
[man 1] Aw, that it is hot.
[speaking indistinctly]
[laughing]
-[man 3] Tough boy.
-[all laugh]
[moans] You gotta pay
to play with those, sweetie.
[all laugh]
[moans]
Connor! Connor, stop!
[man on floor retching]
[sobbing]
Connor Holloway?
Are you Connor Holloway?
No. No.
[gunshot]
[gasps]
[muffled screams]
[woman groans then cries]
[Connor panting]
It's a fucking. 22!
You can't kill me
with a 20-fucking-2!
Unless you jam it up against
the skull, right in their ear.
-[gun clicks]
-Like this.
[panting] Go ahead, asshole.
I know you like killing women.
[gasps]
[choking]
[panting]
[choking continues]
[Connor panting]
[sighs deeply]
[breathes deeply]
[sighs]
What the hell was that?
You told him to stop.
He didn't stop.
Yeah, so you put a little edge
in your voice.
You don't have to stomp
his face inside out.
Do you see what I'm saying?
Who knows how much
you just cost me.
This whole fucking gig
is word of mouth.
You were raised in a barn?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
You want to come in?
Why?
You have somewhere
else to stay?
I make do.
[scoffs] I've seen
how you make do.
You don't have any money
for rent, so...
What's this?
Your cut.
Or did you think
you were working for free?
I thought you said
that I cost you money.
Yeah.
But your heart
was in the right place.
I think.
[clicking]
[low whirring]
[whirring continues]
[muffled screams]
Relax, Laura.
Mary told me a story about you.
About you and Butterball.
She had a picture
of Butterball,
when Butterball was a puppy.
Yeah. Said she used
to hide under your crib
when you was just a kid,
to protect you.
And she'd protect you
from everyone.
Even bit your
grandma on the cooch
when she came to visit
first time.
[breathes softly]
Turns out
you was allergic to dogs.
So they gave Butterball
to the neighbors and...
Mary hated you for that.
I mean, she told me
other stories too.
That's the one
I remember the best.
[breathes softly]
I'm not like Mary.
Not good.
[breathes deeply]
But I didn't hurt her.
It was--
[breathes heavily]
If you scream or you fight,
I'll kill you.
[screams] Fuck!
[panting]
How'd you find me?
Someone from the DOC
called to notify our family.
Said you were being released.
I watched you get on the bus
at the prison.
Watched you come here.
You don't talk like her.
I guess I must be lying.
-[puts down the knife]
-Our father... Our...
Our father was
stationed overseas
when Mary was born.
She got the accent.
[scoffs]
Always the cool girl.
Why didn't you shoot me
last night?
Good question.
Why haven't you killed me?
Why should I?
I shot you.
You had your reason.
Just turns out you were wrong.
Why should I believe
anything you say?
You shouldn't.
You shouldn't believe anything
anyone says,
but you should believe
what they do.
And what are you doing?
Why is Scotty crossed out?
And that's where
you went last night?
All because
they sent you to prison?
[Connor] Prison has
nothing to do with it.
[coughs and retches]
[siren wailing nearby]
[panting]
[train horn hooting]
[man 1] It was me
and my homey last night.
We're kicking it back
at my crib.
He's been visiting me
out from the bay.
And we rolled up
two fat-ass joints.
Nigga, we smoked it all
last night.
We was higher than
a motherfucker.
Hey, fellas.
-Man, I got one more joint too.
-[both laugh]
-Hey. Hey, fellas.
-God damn, bro!
Popping out like some
fucking zombie or shit.
Hey, you think
you can spare a buck?
What the fuck
you gonna do with a buck?
Oh, shit, homie.
That rhymes.
"It's tricky to
rock a rhyme..."
-Hey, how about some change?
-Come on now.
How you gonna interrupt
on Run-D.M.C. like that?
Shit, man. Here.
Fucking here, bitch.
Now fuck off!
-[laughing]
-Oh, shit.
Look, look, look.
He's trying to find it.
-Throw some more.
-Yeah, yeah.
-[groans]
-[both laugh]
-Yeah, look at this shit.
-[laughing]
Look at him.
-Oh, shit.
-[punch thuds]
Going to pull a knife on me?
Fucking faggot!
Yo, yo, yo. I wouldn't
be drinking that shit.
Fuck that.
I'm gonna light this bitch up.
Crazy ass piece of shit.
[man 1] Oh, shit.
Bonfire. [laughs]
[laughing continues]
So here's our fucking bonfire.
[man 1 laughs]
[man 2]
What the fuck you looking at?
You're not going to burn
that dude in my backyard.
I'm not?
It smells bad enough back here.
Bitch, I'm going to do
whatever the fuck I want.
Not today.
I've seen you two before.
Then you know
not to be fucking with me.
-Bitch, you best--
-[gun clicks]
Best what?
Look at me.
Finish that sentence.
I best what?
Lighter.
-Wallets too.
-What?
Wallets.
Bitch, I know
where you fucking live.
Come by anytime.
[Tre] Bitch is crazy.
-Shut the fuck up, Tre.
-No, he's right.
Bitch is all kinds of crazy.
Now give me your
fucking wallets, both of you.
Now fuck off.
-[door thuds shut]
-[gasps]
[breathes deeply]
[sighs]
Hey.
Do you remember me?
Yeah.
[sighs]
Where-- Where's my...
You want to shower?
No, I'm good.
[scoffs] That's my polite way
of saying you stink.
What's your name, soldier?
Holloway.
Connor Holloway.
I hope you like frozen lasagna,
Connor Holloway.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm Mary.
Mary.
I'm Connor.
I know.
You said that already.
My old man was army.
Fought in
the first Desert Storm.
[laughs]
You crazy ass piece of shit.
[timer beeping]
What do you want?
What do I want?
I want to eat.
What do you want?
I want to know...
why are you doing this?
I don't have any money.
Oh, actually...
those two idiots
donated to your cause.
You mugged those kids.
This spirit sort of moved me.
I don't have any drugs.
Okay.
Whatever the fuck you're
hoping to get out of this,
I don't-- I don't have it.
Okay? I got nothing.
You got an appetite?
Just eat, dummy.
[exhales]
[blows air]
It's hot.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
[laughs]
Have you ever seen
Beauty and the Beast?
You know, when the Beast
eats like an animal
at the dinner table?
I-- I'm-- I'm sorry.
Not funny, I guess.
[laughs]
[both sigh]
[Laura sighs deeply]
So you guys became what?
Boyfriend/girlfriend?
Did you fuck her?
Sometimes.
[Laura exhales]
It's my fault.
How?
[man 1] Yeah, right.
-[man 2] Whoo!
-[man 3 whispers] Sweetheart.
-[man 1] So good.
-[man 2] Oh, yeah.
Dennis, you know
how to tickle. Yes!
[man 1] That's a pretty ass.
So good.
So hot!
[man 2]
Let's get Scotty a little, man.
[man 1] Yeah. [laughs]
Oh, he is yours, okay?
-[Scotty] No...
-[man 1] There you go. Come on.
-Get there.
-[Scotty moans]
[man 2] Yes, Scotty! Whoo!
Yeah!
Scotty!
-[man 1] Let's go, Scotty boy.
-[man 2] Yeah. [cheers]
All right, Scotty. Whoo!
Yeah, get that, girl. Yeah!
[man 2 laughs]
So if you had been
paying attention...
Doing the one thing
you're supposed
to be doing, she...
[sobs]
Say something.
Say something!
Like what?
Like you're sorry.
I'm sorry.
I don't forgive you.
I don't.
[sobbing continues]
[coughs]
[exhales deeply]
Jesus.
You're burning up.
[sniffs] Can I see?
[sniffs]
[gasps]
[sniffs]
Paper towels and duct tape?
[exhales]
Listen,
if you're not full of shit...
and you really intend to
draw a line through
every name on that list,
you're going to need help.
[Connor sighs]
So, help me.
I mean, like, medical help.
I got a good few years left.
Yeah. And then what?
[sniffles]
Then it's done.
[lawn mower sputtering]
That's him?
That's one of them, yeah.
And you want me
to go talk to him?
This man, you say
helped to murder my sister?
Just for a second.
Get him into the car.
How exactly?
[Laura] Sorry to bother you.
[Connor] Tell him
you're having car trouble car.
-My car just stopped working.
- That the car won't start.
[Laura] That's the stupidest
thing I've ever heard.
Um, I don't know.
[Connor] Just smile and stick
your tits out, all right?
Like, a starter, I think?
[Connor]
And pop the fucking trunk.
Do you live around here?
No. No, I just--
-Why? Do I look familiar?
-Yeah. You know,
who actually
might be able to help?
My wife.
You know, maybe we can just--
I'll go grab her.
No, don't. Don't--
Don't bother her.
-Not bother? I mean, I just--
-[car door closes]
[man] Hey.
-Can I help you?
-[Connor] Hey, how's it going?
[panting]
[engine starts]
[clanking]
This is the guy.
This is what guy?
[Connor] He was there.
Like, him and three others.
This is the guy
who hit me in the head.
And this guy, he...
Why are you
looking at me like that?
I thought
you couldn't remember.
It's coming back.
Oh, boy. Listen.
I've been working my ass off
to keep your sentence
as short as possible, okay?
It's been a lot of back
and forth, a lot of bartering,
trading on your service record
for some leniency.
We finally gotten
the DA to agree
to what I consider to be
very reasonable terms.
Now, you want to throw this
into the mix, huh?
Dennis McNab?
He's kind of a big deal
in this city, right?
It ain't like he's some kind
of scrub hiring strippers.
You get all kinds, trust me.
Okay, but you keep pushing,
and I guarantee the DA's
going to push right back
and in the end, we're talking
about a junkie whore.
All due respect,
but that's what it is.
It would have been nice
if you would have told me
about the heroin. You see?
You see what I'm saying here?
It's things like that
that compromise our case,
and it compromises
your credibility.
But I'd rather not get stuck
talking to the--
Shoot! Did you grab his binkie
from the nursery?
I didn't pick him up from
the nursery. Honey, you did.
Okay.
-Joshua Dykman.
-Hey.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-How are you?
-I'm-- I'm good. How are you?
Yeah, I've been better. Better.
Hey, how old's your kid?
Gosh. He's almost one.
Hey, listen,
I'm glad I caught you.
I need your help
with something.
But my wife's going
to be back in just--
-just a minute.
-Sure, no problem.
This won't take a minute.
Well, I mean--
I know we've met, but I can't--
I can't place--
I'm short on time, okay?
So I'm going to need you
to keep your fucking mouth shut.
-What--
-You feel this?
Shh... Shh...
Now if you make any fucking move
we're gonna have to kill you
right here, right?
-Don't make a scene. Just walk.
-Okay.
Okay.
[water running]
[Laura] Did you know Butterball
was a stray?
Mary begged and begged
our folks to let us keep her.
She says that
she just followed her home
from school one day, but I
always figured she was lying.
She was always
taking in animals
that didn't belong to her.
This is you.
This is me?
What is it?
It's Frankenstein, dummy.
[laughs]
[laughs]
[chuckles]
Frank is cool.
[indistinct]
He's a monster.
An innocent dude.
Like you.
You're going to keep acting
like you don't remember me?
Nobody's acting anything, man.
[Luke] I told you.
We don't know anything.
Hmm. You don't know anything.
About what?
-What?
-Scotty, he remembered me.
It was like he was waiting.
She look familiar?
It's Mary's sister.
Mary who?
14 years ago, hmm?
[indistinct] Canyon Inn.
[crying]
I told you this would happen.
-[Luke] Shut up, Josh.
-I told you.
Listen, man, we--
It was a long time, okay?
It was a long time ago.
[Luke] Stop talking.
Luke, look where we are.
He knows, okay?
Dammit.
Just shut your damn mouth.
It wasn't--
It wasn't our idea at first.
It was-- It was Dennis.
He was the one.
[breathing heavily]
I'm so, so--
[Luke screams]
Hold-- No, no.
-Don't-- Don't shoot.
-No, no, no.
-[Luke] Please.
-Not in the head.
[Luke] Please.
[panting]
-Fuck.
-[sighs]
[panting]
Please.
[crying] Son of a bitch.
Don't you fucking touch me!
[crying]
Wait.
Just-- Just wait. Oh, God.
-[screams]
-[Connor] Dennis [indistinct]
-[Luke] Stop.
-[Connor] I want an address.
[Luke] Look, we don't know.
Dennis, he--
he made us hold and he--
and he--
he made Scotty film it.
I-- I swear to God,
it wasn't us.
It wasn't our idea.
[Luke] The Avenue.
55-25, 11th Avenue.
Wait.
Please, wait.
I've been waiting.
-[flesh ripping]
-[Luke gurgles]
Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!
Oh!
Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!
Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!
-Why Mary?
-I don't know. She--
She-- She was like
the rest of them.
Whores go missing.
Nobody cares.
[crying]
[flesh ripping]
[door closes]
[coughs]
Let's go.
You're not going anywhere.
Look at you.
You--
You're done.
[breathes heavily]
Connor. Connor. Jesus.
Stop the car.
It's okay. I'm okay.
You're not okay.
Connor! Connor!
Shit. Connor, wake up.
Oh, God! Stop. Connor.
Connor. Connor.
[heartbeat thudding]
[coughing]
Oh, God!
Where are we going?
The motel.
If we can make it that far.
I'll make it.
[moans]
Hold on, Connor.
[grunts]
[Connor coughs]
Oh, my God. Okay.
Uh.
-Here.
-[groans]
-[Laura] Take these.
-How-- How many?
-How many?
-[Laura] It doesn't matter.
With the Mylanta.
[groans]
Drink this.
All of it.
[chokes]
[vomits]
[Laura] Okay.
Connor.
This is going to suck.
Okay?
[grunts]
[Laura]
Try to think of something else.
Ow!
Sorry.
Here, I'll kiss it better.
Oh, we can move to Portland.
-[Connor] And do what?
-Same shit we're doing here.
And everything's cool
in Portland.
Literally, it's never hot.
It's just cold.
Like, cool, man.
Get it?
That's called a homonym.
Cool and cool.
You ever think about
doing anything else?
[Mary] No. I mean, I don't know.
Maybe when I was a kid.
You know?
I wanted to grow up and
be an astronaut or something.
But no.
I like this gig.
You know, I--
I want to work, I work.
I don't. I don't.
How many people can say that?
Plus, I-- I get to spend
my days with you.
Does it bother you?
What if it did?
Would you stop?
[clicks tongue]
No.
I don't know.
Maybe.
[Connor] Yeah,
and do what? Hmm?
Hey, I can do things.
I got skills.
Oh, yeah? What skills? Hmm?
[vocalizing circus music]
Boo!
Are you booing me?
Boo!
What tricks can you do?
None.
I didn't go to clown college.
Boo!
[vocalizing circus music]
Really, you're going to tie
a cherry stem in a knot?
Oh, come on, son. Boo!
Ta-da.
What's the trick?
Well, it's gone.
All right, I swallowed it.
Ta-da!
-That's not a trick.
-Sure it is.
It's not going to hurt
my gut at all.
I got a stomach like a goat.
That's all I got.
You got more than that.
And he's back.
How long was I out for?
Not long. Just a few minutes.
We better go.
We will but give yourself
a second, all right?
If you're gonna pass out again,
I'd rather have you do it here
than in the car.
Sorry, I killed you.
It's okay.
It wasn't your fault.
Oh, really? You're going to
choose now to be nice to me?
Fuck off. [chuckles]
What, um--
What do you do,
you know, in real life?
I'm an archivist.
An anarchist?
What's that?
An archivist.
What's the difference?
Well, um, everything.
I mean, they're not even--
Do you really want to know
or you're just fucking with me?
Oh, no, I'm--
I'm dying, to know.
Um.
Well, as an archivist,
it's my job
to pack up and organize
collections of work that are
considered to be,
you know, of some significance,
like important books,
films, stuff like that.
So we can be sure to still
have them in the future.
Why wouldn't we have that?
Well, I'm not sure
if you've noticed,
but books are sort of going
the way of the dodo bird so...
The dodo bird.
Yeah, you know,
the dodo bird went extinct.
It sounds nice.
To be an archivist?
To be extinct.
You know,
Mary and I--
Mary and I, we weren't close.
Yeah, I guess you
probably knew that.
You know, I honestly
can't even remember
the last time we talked.
I know she called me, though.
A couple months
before she died.
But I let it go to voicemail,
she didn't leave me a message.
For 13 years, I blamed you
for taking away my chance to
talk to her just one more time.
To tell her--
I don't know. Something.
To let her know
that I gave a shit
and she was important. [crying]
But then in the warehouse,
the brothers,
they admitted it to me.
Right to my face
and I couldn't do it.
I couldn't pull the trigger.
And I thought,
"What the fuck
is wrong with me?"
But then I saw what you did.
And I don't know what's worse,
to be like me
or to be like you.
You can't tell me that this is
what Mary would want for you.
Well, what difference
does it make?
What do you mean?
I mean,
what difference does it make?
People like me--
We don't get to win.
No, I--
I'm sorry,
but I call it bullshit.
You could have made
different choices.
Okay.
Fuck you.
Have an opinion.
Do you know who my father was?
A man named Leroy Denton.
My biological father...
was a serial rapist.
There are a bunch of women
in the late sixties,
the ones who didn't
get abortions,
they gave birth
to things like me.
Someone walked in on
my mom screaming,
thinking of flushing me
down the toilet.
They saved my life.
Gave me to the state.
A fucked up kid.
Raised in fucked up places.
And you talk about choices.
Choices mean shit
when you start below zero.
And that's my fucking opinion.
Well, what do you want then?
I want the best thing a person
like me can hope for.
What's that?
I wanna get even.
Time to go.
[Luke] Oh, that's right.
Oh, yeah.
That is much better.
-Yeah.
-You're so good.
Yeah!
I love the big one, Dennis.
I love the big one.
Oh, those tits are
coming your way.
They're coming your way, yeah.
Whoo-hoo!
[Dennis] I'm gonna go.
Let's do it.
There we go.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
-Yeah.
-There we go.
There we go.
-She's dancing all over him.
-Game on.
Take it.
Dance for me. Come on.
Yeah, work that up. Work that.
You want this? You want it?
You gotta work for it,
sweetheart, come on.
Come on. Come on.
-Come on, come on.
-Yeah, Dennis!
Let's get Scotty a little love.
-Yeah.
-I love the big one.
-Yeah.
-Here you go. Okay?
There you go. Come on.
Do it. Do that, okay?
-Get in there.
-Yeah.
Yeah, Scotty!
She just wants you to show
how to dance.
-[laughing]
-Yeah.
-Yeah, come on.
-She's a wild one.
There we go. Wild, huh?
Take it out of there. Get that.
Get into it, Scotty boy.
Scott!
Whoo! Whoo!
Yeah!
Come on, Scotty, yeah.
Let's go, Scott. Whoo!
Yeah! Yeah!
Come on, be a man, Scott.
Would you face that shit?
-Scotty, come on.
-All right now.
Scott! Scott!
[speaking indistinctly]
[Dennis]
Now we can have some fun.
[groaning]
[Dennis grunts]
[Mary groans]
Take it!
[Dennis grunts]
[Mary screaming]
What are you crying about,
you whore, huh?
[Mary crying]
-[Dennis grunts]
-[crying continues]
[Dennis] Okay, Luke. [sighs]
You're up.
[Mary groans]
[Connor] Take a right on 9th.
[Laura] The motel's on state.
[Connor] You're going to take
me to see Dennis.
[Laura] Looking like that?
[Connor] I just need to see
what I'm up against tonight.
[Laura sighs]
[car honking]
Ethan, five minutes.
Five minutes, buddy.
He has a kid.
-Connor.
-What?
You don't get to
hurt his family.
You don't get to
hurt innocent people.
-Right.
-I didn't know.
You know, you know for a fact
that kid never did
anything to you.
Or that woman in there.
The man in that house
raped and murdered my sister.
He dies tonight.
But not his family.
Promise me.
[engine starts]
[engine starts]
[indistinct speaking]
[shower running]
[lock clicking]
Connor?
[door opens]
[gun shot]
[gun shots]
[shallow breathing]
Hey, handsome.
Is she all right?
Who?
Your sister.
So this is
what you want for me.
I-- I don't know.
[indistinct]
Hey!
It's okay.
You can be done.
[car door opens]
[car door closes]
[wheezing]
[chimes tinkling]
Hey!
It's okay.
You can be done.
[coughing]
[wheezing]
[groans]
[coughing]
[coughing]
[vomits]
I've got a gun.
Hey!
[whirring]
-[Screaming]
-Oh, God.
Hey!
No, no, please.
Up.
You listen to me, asshole.
I'm going to count to three.
-One.
-[gun shot]
Ah!
-[kid] Mommy!
-[Dennis's wife] Please!
[sobs] Shit!
That your boy?
Don't you fucking touch him.
Take him into the bathroom.
Why?
[wheezing]
You don't need to see this.
Do it. Take him.
Look at me, honey.
It's going to be okay.
I need you to go with daddy.
[Dennis] Come on, son.
That's a good boy.
[Dennis sobs]
Be strong, kiddo.
You'll be okay.
[kid] Daddy!
[Dennis's wife]
You don't have to do this.
Come here.
Hey, I don't know what you want
or who you think
you're fucking with.
You can stop now, Dennis.
[Dennis's wife] Who are you?
[wheezing]
Tell her my name.
How the hell would I know
what your damn name is?
You recognize that number?
Well, you hired some chump
from the night shift.
Next time pay a professional.
Yeah, listen, you dummy.
The-- The cops are going to
be here any second, all right?
Well, I hope they bring
a lot of backup.
[Dennis's wife] Just take what
you want and leave, please.
Please.
[grunts]
Tie her up. Like you did Mary.
What are you talking about?
What is he talking about?
Show her, Dennis.
No, no. You don't-- You don't
get to come into my home and--
and threaten my wife and kid.
-And spread these lies.
-Dennis.
You're done.
Now, if you do what I say,
you might
make it out alive.
Tie her up.
[Dennis] Okay, babe.
It's going to be all right.
[Dennis's wife] No.
[Connor] Tight.
All right.
All right, it's tight.
I've done what you asked.
That looks about right.
Except you used
those wire hangers.
[sobbing]
Cut Mary's wrist all to shit
when she struggled.
What is happening? Who is Mary?
[sobbing]
Did her eyes look like that?
Connor.
I swear to God,
if you-- if you hurt my wife...
[Dennis's wife] Please.
Please stop.
Did she beg like that, Dennis?
Answer the question.
Did Mary beg like that?
[gunshot]
-Did she beg like that?
-Yes.
Yes.
Dennis!
And did you stop?
No. No.
No.
Hey, hey, yeah, wait, wait.
Listen, look, look. If you--
If you-- If you kill my wife,
what does that do, huh?
What does that accomplish?
The-- The--
The headlines will read
"A Maniac Murders
Innocent Woman with a..."
No one reads the paper anymore.
[coughs]
Oh, well. Okay, look, look.
You're-- You're--
You're sick, all right?
You need help.
I've got doctors I can call.
Yeah, I bet.
You're an important man.
You have money,
friends, family.
You can have anything you want.
Yeah. So-- So let me help.
My life.
I only had one thing.
Hey, it's not too late.
It is though.
[gunshot]
[sobbing]
[coughs]
[wheezing]
No.
Please no.
No. Please no. Please no.
[sobbing]
[siren wailing]
[policemen talking]
[policeman]
We've got the house surrounded.
We don't want
anyone to be harmed.
[gunshot]
[policeman]
Shot fired! Shot fired!
[gunshot]
[indistinct announcement on PA]
Help-- Help-- Help-- Help me.
[Dennis coughs]
[gunshot]
[coughs]
[wheezing]
[siren wailing]
[policeman] Drop your weapon
on the ground, now!
[gunshots]
[inhale & exhales]
You kept me waiting.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I knew you'd find me.
My hero.
[chuckles]
[man 2] You're an important man.
[man 1 grunts]
[man 2] You have money...
friends, family.
You can have anything you want.
My whole life...
I've had one good thing.
[punch thuds]
[man 1 grunts, gags]
[panting]
Oh, fuck. [coughs]
[pants, sniffles] No...
[man 2] Sit.
[whimpers]
[grunting]
Please...
[groans, sobs]
[grunts]
[breathing rapidly]
[weakly] What do you want?
Hey, look at me.
I swear, it wasn't me.
It was him. It was Dennis.
[man 2] I know.
[man 1 sobs] You know?
[panting]
-[man 2] You know ringleader?
-[whimpers]
I don't know fucking shit.
I just did whatever
he told me to do.
[sniffles] I didn't... [groans]
I didn't hurt any
of those women. I--
[man 2] Where is he?
-How the fuck would I know that?
-[gun cocks]
I haven't seen him in years!
Wait, please.
Please, wait, wait.
The brothers!
The Dykman brothers.
I know where they are.
Yeah. I know.
[breathing heavily]
[man 2] Where?
If I tell you...
you promise you're
not gonna hurt me.
[man 2] I promise.
Herriman.
Luke and-- Luke and Josh.
They both live there.
[man 2] Where?
Sunbreak. [whimpers]
It's a new neighborhood.
They-- They both bought houses
on the same fucking street.
[man 2] What street?
It's Meadow...
Meadowlark Lane,
Meadowlark Circle
or something like that.
[gasps, pants]
You--
You said you wouldn't hurt me.
[man 2] You won't feel a thing.
[muffled gunshot]
[low, melancholy instrumental]
[woman] Hey, you wanna shower?
[man 1] No, I'm good.
[scoffs] That's my polite way
of saying you stink.
[diner din]
[exhales]
Get you anything else
at the moment?
Mmm-mmm.
-Paper?
-What?
The fucking newspapers?
Oh. Um, I don't even think
we carry the paper.
We might have one
in the break room.
I'll check for you.
Sir, you can't smoke in here.
Where's the smoking section?
[waitress chuckles]
There's no smoking section.
Look, I'm sorry, but you just--
You can't smoke anywhere.
-Anywhere?
-[waitress] Well, outside.
Sir!
[lawyer] So...
your fingerprints
were all over the knife,
not to mention the room.
We were working together.
Right.
Here's the kicker, though.
They did the PERK,
um, the physical evidence
recovery kit,
a rape kit, essentially.
And they found
traces of your...
your DNA inside her.
And signs of
forcible intercourse.
-We were sleeping together.
-Were you sleeping together,
or were you working together?
Both.
I talked to the DA,
and she's willing
to work something out.
With your military service,
I think I can get you
down to manslaughter.
You do ten. 15, max.
You go to trial, they're
going to push for murder one.
Throw in the rape charges,
and you could do life,
Mr. Holloway.
Are you a good soldier?
Good enough.
You see combat?
Can you fight
when you're not three sheets?
Can you drive?
A car?
No. A tank?
Yes.
I need a driver.
For what?
For what I do.
What do you do?
I'm an entertainer.
Like, a singer?
Sure. If that's what they want.
I need a new driver.
Actually,
you don't have to drive even.
I just need an escort.
To do what?
Help me, like, year-around,
make sure my clients
play by the rules.
[waitress] Refill?
[muffled cheering]
[man 1] Yeah!
[man 2] Yes!
[laughing]
[man 1] Hey!
[all laughing]
-[man 1 cheers]
-[man 2 laughs]
[man 1 speaking indistinctly]
[man 2] That face is red!
[laughing continues]
[man 1] Harry!
[man 1] Oh, he's blushing.
[man 3 laughs]
[man 1] Here we go.
[man 1] Oh, he's blushing.
[man 2] Yeah. [cheers]
-[man 3] Go on.
-[man 2] Yeah, yeah.
[man 2 cheers then whistles]
[laughing]
[all laugh and cheer]
[man 1] Aw, that it is hot.
[speaking indistinctly]
[laughing]
-[man 3] Tough boy.
-[all laugh]
[moans] You gotta pay
to play with those, sweetie.
[all laugh]
[moans]
Connor! Connor, stop!
[man on floor retching]
[sobbing]
Connor Holloway?
Are you Connor Holloway?
No. No.
[gunshot]
[gasps]
[muffled screams]
[woman groans then cries]
[Connor panting]
It's a fucking. 22!
You can't kill me
with a 20-fucking-2!
Unless you jam it up against
the skull, right in their ear.
-[gun clicks]
-Like this.
[panting] Go ahead, asshole.
I know you like killing women.
[gasps]
[choking]
[panting]
[choking continues]
[Connor panting]
[sighs deeply]
[breathes deeply]
[sighs]
What the hell was that?
You told him to stop.
He didn't stop.
Yeah, so you put a little edge
in your voice.
You don't have to stomp
his face inside out.
Do you see what I'm saying?
Who knows how much
you just cost me.
This whole fucking gig
is word of mouth.
You were raised in a barn?
What are you doing?
Nothing.
You want to come in?
Why?
You have somewhere
else to stay?
I make do.
[scoffs] I've seen
how you make do.
You don't have any money
for rent, so...
What's this?
Your cut.
Or did you think
you were working for free?
I thought you said
that I cost you money.
Yeah.
But your heart
was in the right place.
I think.
[clicking]
[low whirring]
[whirring continues]
[muffled screams]
Relax, Laura.
Mary told me a story about you.
About you and Butterball.
She had a picture
of Butterball,
when Butterball was a puppy.
Yeah. Said she used
to hide under your crib
when you was just a kid,
to protect you.
And she'd protect you
from everyone.
Even bit your
grandma on the cooch
when she came to visit
first time.
[breathes softly]
Turns out
you was allergic to dogs.
So they gave Butterball
to the neighbors and...
Mary hated you for that.
I mean, she told me
other stories too.
That's the one
I remember the best.
[breathes softly]
I'm not like Mary.
Not good.
[breathes deeply]
But I didn't hurt her.
It was--
[breathes heavily]
If you scream or you fight,
I'll kill you.
[screams] Fuck!
[panting]
How'd you find me?
Someone from the DOC
called to notify our family.
Said you were being released.
I watched you get on the bus
at the prison.
Watched you come here.
You don't talk like her.
I guess I must be lying.
-[puts down the knife]
-Our father... Our...
Our father was
stationed overseas
when Mary was born.
She got the accent.
[scoffs]
Always the cool girl.
Why didn't you shoot me
last night?
Good question.
Why haven't you killed me?
Why should I?
I shot you.
You had your reason.
Just turns out you were wrong.
Why should I believe
anything you say?
You shouldn't.
You shouldn't believe anything
anyone says,
but you should believe
what they do.
And what are you doing?
Why is Scotty crossed out?
And that's where
you went last night?
All because
they sent you to prison?
[Connor] Prison has
nothing to do with it.
[coughs and retches]
[siren wailing nearby]
[panting]
[train horn hooting]
[man 1] It was me
and my homey last night.
We're kicking it back
at my crib.
He's been visiting me
out from the bay.
And we rolled up
two fat-ass joints.
Nigga, we smoked it all
last night.
We was higher than
a motherfucker.
Hey, fellas.
-Man, I got one more joint too.
-[both laugh]
-Hey. Hey, fellas.
-God damn, bro!
Popping out like some
fucking zombie or shit.
Hey, you think
you can spare a buck?
What the fuck
you gonna do with a buck?
Oh, shit, homie.
That rhymes.
"It's tricky to
rock a rhyme..."
-Hey, how about some change?
-Come on now.
How you gonna interrupt
on Run-D.M.C. like that?
Shit, man. Here.
Fucking here, bitch.
Now fuck off!
-[laughing]
-Oh, shit.
Look, look, look.
He's trying to find it.
-Throw some more.
-Yeah, yeah.
-[groans]
-[both laugh]
-Yeah, look at this shit.
-[laughing]
Look at him.
-Oh, shit.
-[punch thuds]
Going to pull a knife on me?
Fucking faggot!
Yo, yo, yo. I wouldn't
be drinking that shit.
Fuck that.
I'm gonna light this bitch up.
Crazy ass piece of shit.
[man 1] Oh, shit.
Bonfire. [laughs]
[laughing continues]
So here's our fucking bonfire.
[man 1 laughs]
[man 2]
What the fuck you looking at?
You're not going to burn
that dude in my backyard.
I'm not?
It smells bad enough back here.
Bitch, I'm going to do
whatever the fuck I want.
Not today.
I've seen you two before.
Then you know
not to be fucking with me.
-Bitch, you best--
-[gun clicks]
Best what?
Look at me.
Finish that sentence.
I best what?
Lighter.
-Wallets too.
-What?
Wallets.
Bitch, I know
where you fucking live.
Come by anytime.
[Tre] Bitch is crazy.
-Shut the fuck up, Tre.
-No, he's right.
Bitch is all kinds of crazy.
Now give me your
fucking wallets, both of you.
Now fuck off.
-[door thuds shut]
-[gasps]
[breathes deeply]
[sighs]
Hey.
Do you remember me?
Yeah.
[sighs]
Where-- Where's my...
You want to shower?
No, I'm good.
[scoffs] That's my polite way
of saying you stink.
What's your name, soldier?
Holloway.
Connor Holloway.
I hope you like frozen lasagna,
Connor Holloway.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm Mary.
Mary.
I'm Connor.
I know.
You said that already.
My old man was army.
Fought in
the first Desert Storm.
[laughs]
You crazy ass piece of shit.
[timer beeping]
What do you want?
What do I want?
I want to eat.
What do you want?
I want to know...
why are you doing this?
I don't have any money.
Oh, actually...
those two idiots
donated to your cause.
You mugged those kids.
This spirit sort of moved me.
I don't have any drugs.
Okay.
Whatever the fuck you're
hoping to get out of this,
I don't-- I don't have it.
Okay? I got nothing.
You got an appetite?
Just eat, dummy.
[exhales]
[blows air]
It's hot.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
[laughs]
Have you ever seen
Beauty and the Beast?
You know, when the Beast
eats like an animal
at the dinner table?
I-- I'm-- I'm sorry.
Not funny, I guess.
[laughs]
[both sigh]
[Laura sighs deeply]
So you guys became what?
Boyfriend/girlfriend?
Did you fuck her?
Sometimes.
[Laura exhales]
It's my fault.
How?
[man 1] Yeah, right.
-[man 2] Whoo!
-[man 3 whispers] Sweetheart.
-[man 1] So good.
-[man 2] Oh, yeah.
Dennis, you know
how to tickle. Yes!
[man 1] That's a pretty ass.
So good.
So hot!
[man 2]
Let's get Scotty a little, man.
[man 1] Yeah. [laughs]
Oh, he is yours, okay?
-[Scotty] No...
-[man 1] There you go. Come on.
-Get there.
-[Scotty moans]
[man 2] Yes, Scotty! Whoo!
Yeah!
Scotty!
-[man 1] Let's go, Scotty boy.
-[man 2] Yeah. [cheers]
All right, Scotty. Whoo!
Yeah, get that, girl. Yeah!
[man 2 laughs]
So if you had been
paying attention...
Doing the one thing
you're supposed
to be doing, she...
[sobs]
Say something.
Say something!
Like what?
Like you're sorry.
I'm sorry.
I don't forgive you.
I don't.
[sobbing continues]
[coughs]
[exhales deeply]
Jesus.
You're burning up.
[sniffs] Can I see?
[sniffs]
[gasps]
[sniffs]
Paper towels and duct tape?
[exhales]
Listen,
if you're not full of shit...
and you really intend to
draw a line through
every name on that list,
you're going to need help.
[Connor sighs]
So, help me.
I mean, like, medical help.
I got a good few years left.
Yeah. And then what?
[sniffles]
Then it's done.
[lawn mower sputtering]
That's him?
That's one of them, yeah.
And you want me
to go talk to him?
This man, you say
helped to murder my sister?
Just for a second.
Get him into the car.
How exactly?
[Laura] Sorry to bother you.
[Connor] Tell him
you're having car trouble car.
-My car just stopped working.
- That the car won't start.
[Laura] That's the stupidest
thing I've ever heard.
Um, I don't know.
[Connor] Just smile and stick
your tits out, all right?
Like, a starter, I think?
[Connor]
And pop the fucking trunk.
Do you live around here?
No. No, I just--
-Why? Do I look familiar?
-Yeah. You know,
who actually
might be able to help?
My wife.
You know, maybe we can just--
I'll go grab her.
No, don't. Don't--
Don't bother her.
-Not bother? I mean, I just--
-[car door closes]
[man] Hey.
-Can I help you?
-[Connor] Hey, how's it going?
[panting]
[engine starts]
[clanking]
This is the guy.
This is what guy?
[Connor] He was there.
Like, him and three others.
This is the guy
who hit me in the head.
And this guy, he...
Why are you
looking at me like that?
I thought
you couldn't remember.
It's coming back.
Oh, boy. Listen.
I've been working my ass off
to keep your sentence
as short as possible, okay?
It's been a lot of back
and forth, a lot of bartering,
trading on your service record
for some leniency.
We finally gotten
the DA to agree
to what I consider to be
very reasonable terms.
Now, you want to throw this
into the mix, huh?
Dennis McNab?
He's kind of a big deal
in this city, right?
It ain't like he's some kind
of scrub hiring strippers.
You get all kinds, trust me.
Okay, but you keep pushing,
and I guarantee the DA's
going to push right back
and in the end, we're talking
about a junkie whore.
All due respect,
but that's what it is.
It would have been nice
if you would have told me
about the heroin. You see?
You see what I'm saying here?
It's things like that
that compromise our case,
and it compromises
your credibility.
But I'd rather not get stuck
talking to the--
Shoot! Did you grab his binkie
from the nursery?
I didn't pick him up from
the nursery. Honey, you did.
Okay.
-Joshua Dykman.
-Hey.
-Hi.
-Hi.
-How are you?
-I'm-- I'm good. How are you?
Yeah, I've been better. Better.
Hey, how old's your kid?
Gosh. He's almost one.
Hey, listen,
I'm glad I caught you.
I need your help
with something.
But my wife's going
to be back in just--
-just a minute.
-Sure, no problem.
This won't take a minute.
Well, I mean--
I know we've met, but I can't--
I can't place--
I'm short on time, okay?
So I'm going to need you
to keep your fucking mouth shut.
-What--
-You feel this?
Shh... Shh...
Now if you make any fucking move
we're gonna have to kill you
right here, right?
-Don't make a scene. Just walk.
-Okay.
Okay.
[water running]
[Laura] Did you know Butterball
was a stray?
Mary begged and begged
our folks to let us keep her.
She says that
she just followed her home
from school one day, but I
always figured she was lying.
She was always
taking in animals
that didn't belong to her.
This is you.
This is me?
What is it?
It's Frankenstein, dummy.
[laughs]
[laughs]
[chuckles]
Frank is cool.
[indistinct]
He's a monster.
An innocent dude.
Like you.
You're going to keep acting
like you don't remember me?
Nobody's acting anything, man.
[Luke] I told you.
We don't know anything.
Hmm. You don't know anything.
About what?
-What?
-Scotty, he remembered me.
It was like he was waiting.
She look familiar?
It's Mary's sister.
Mary who?
14 years ago, hmm?
[indistinct] Canyon Inn.
[crying]
I told you this would happen.
-[Luke] Shut up, Josh.
-I told you.
Listen, man, we--
It was a long time, okay?
It was a long time ago.
[Luke] Stop talking.
Luke, look where we are.
He knows, okay?
Dammit.
Just shut your damn mouth.
It wasn't--
It wasn't our idea at first.
It was-- It was Dennis.
He was the one.
[breathing heavily]
I'm so, so--
[Luke screams]
Hold-- No, no.
-Don't-- Don't shoot.
-No, no, no.
-[Luke] Please.
-Not in the head.
[Luke] Please.
[panting]
-Fuck.
-[sighs]
[panting]
Please.
[crying] Son of a bitch.
Don't you fucking touch me!
[crying]
Wait.
Just-- Just wait. Oh, God.
-[screams]
-[Connor] Dennis [indistinct]
-[Luke] Stop.
-[Connor] I want an address.
[Luke] Look, we don't know.
Dennis, he--
he made us hold and he--
and he--
he made Scotty film it.
I-- I swear to God,
it wasn't us.
It wasn't our idea.
[Luke] The Avenue.
55-25, 11th Avenue.
Wait.
Please, wait.
I've been waiting.
-[flesh ripping]
-[Luke gurgles]
Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!
Oh!
Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!
Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck!
-Why Mary?
-I don't know. She--
She-- She was like
the rest of them.
Whores go missing.
Nobody cares.
[crying]
[flesh ripping]
[door closes]
[coughs]
Let's go.
You're not going anywhere.
Look at you.
You--
You're done.
[breathes heavily]
Connor. Connor. Jesus.
Stop the car.
It's okay. I'm okay.
You're not okay.
Connor! Connor!
Shit. Connor, wake up.
Oh, God! Stop. Connor.
Connor. Connor.
[heartbeat thudding]
[coughing]
Oh, God!
Where are we going?
The motel.
If we can make it that far.
I'll make it.
[moans]
Hold on, Connor.
[grunts]
[Connor coughs]
Oh, my God. Okay.
Uh.
-Here.
-[groans]
-[Laura] Take these.
-How-- How many?
-How many?
-[Laura] It doesn't matter.
With the Mylanta.
[groans]
Drink this.
All of it.
[chokes]
[vomits]
[Laura] Okay.
Connor.
This is going to suck.
Okay?
[grunts]
[Laura]
Try to think of something else.
Ow!
Sorry.
Here, I'll kiss it better.
Oh, we can move to Portland.
-[Connor] And do what?
-Same shit we're doing here.
And everything's cool
in Portland.
Literally, it's never hot.
It's just cold.
Like, cool, man.
Get it?
That's called a homonym.
Cool and cool.
You ever think about
doing anything else?
[Mary] No. I mean, I don't know.
Maybe when I was a kid.
You know?
I wanted to grow up and
be an astronaut or something.
But no.
I like this gig.
You know, I--
I want to work, I work.
I don't. I don't.
How many people can say that?
Plus, I-- I get to spend
my days with you.
Does it bother you?
What if it did?
Would you stop?
[clicks tongue]
No.
I don't know.
Maybe.
[Connor] Yeah,
and do what? Hmm?
Hey, I can do things.
I got skills.
Oh, yeah? What skills? Hmm?
[vocalizing circus music]
Boo!
Are you booing me?
Boo!
What tricks can you do?
None.
I didn't go to clown college.
Boo!
[vocalizing circus music]
Really, you're going to tie
a cherry stem in a knot?
Oh, come on, son. Boo!
Ta-da.
What's the trick?
Well, it's gone.
All right, I swallowed it.
Ta-da!
-That's not a trick.
-Sure it is.
It's not going to hurt
my gut at all.
I got a stomach like a goat.
That's all I got.
You got more than that.
And he's back.
How long was I out for?
Not long. Just a few minutes.
We better go.
We will but give yourself
a second, all right?
If you're gonna pass out again,
I'd rather have you do it here
than in the car.
Sorry, I killed you.
It's okay.
It wasn't your fault.
Oh, really? You're going to
choose now to be nice to me?
Fuck off. [chuckles]
What, um--
What do you do,
you know, in real life?
I'm an archivist.
An anarchist?
What's that?
An archivist.
What's the difference?
Well, um, everything.
I mean, they're not even--
Do you really want to know
or you're just fucking with me?
Oh, no, I'm--
I'm dying, to know.
Um.
Well, as an archivist,
it's my job
to pack up and organize
collections of work that are
considered to be,
you know, of some significance,
like important books,
films, stuff like that.
So we can be sure to still
have them in the future.
Why wouldn't we have that?
Well, I'm not sure
if you've noticed,
but books are sort of going
the way of the dodo bird so...
The dodo bird.
Yeah, you know,
the dodo bird went extinct.
It sounds nice.
To be an archivist?
To be extinct.
You know,
Mary and I--
Mary and I, we weren't close.
Yeah, I guess you
probably knew that.
You know, I honestly
can't even remember
the last time we talked.
I know she called me, though.
A couple months
before she died.
But I let it go to voicemail,
she didn't leave me a message.
For 13 years, I blamed you
for taking away my chance to
talk to her just one more time.
To tell her--
I don't know. Something.
To let her know
that I gave a shit
and she was important. [crying]
But then in the warehouse,
the brothers,
they admitted it to me.
Right to my face
and I couldn't do it.
I couldn't pull the trigger.
And I thought,
"What the fuck
is wrong with me?"
But then I saw what you did.
And I don't know what's worse,
to be like me
or to be like you.
You can't tell me that this is
what Mary would want for you.
Well, what difference
does it make?
What do you mean?
I mean,
what difference does it make?
People like me--
We don't get to win.
No, I--
I'm sorry,
but I call it bullshit.
You could have made
different choices.
Okay.
Fuck you.
Have an opinion.
Do you know who my father was?
A man named Leroy Denton.
My biological father...
was a serial rapist.
There are a bunch of women
in the late sixties,
the ones who didn't
get abortions,
they gave birth
to things like me.
Someone walked in on
my mom screaming,
thinking of flushing me
down the toilet.
They saved my life.
Gave me to the state.
A fucked up kid.
Raised in fucked up places.
And you talk about choices.
Choices mean shit
when you start below zero.
And that's my fucking opinion.
Well, what do you want then?
I want the best thing a person
like me can hope for.
What's that?
I wanna get even.
Time to go.
[Luke] Oh, that's right.
Oh, yeah.
That is much better.
-Yeah.
-You're so good.
Yeah!
I love the big one, Dennis.
I love the big one.
Oh, those tits are
coming your way.
They're coming your way, yeah.
Whoo-hoo!
[Dennis] I'm gonna go.
Let's do it.
There we go.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
-Yeah.
-There we go.
There we go.
-She's dancing all over him.
-Game on.
Take it.
Dance for me. Come on.
Yeah, work that up. Work that.
You want this? You want it?
You gotta work for it,
sweetheart, come on.
Come on. Come on.
-Come on, come on.
-Yeah, Dennis!
Let's get Scotty a little love.
-Yeah.
-I love the big one.
-Yeah.
-Here you go. Okay?
There you go. Come on.
Do it. Do that, okay?
-Get in there.
-Yeah.
Yeah, Scotty!
She just wants you to show
how to dance.
-[laughing]
-Yeah.
-Yeah, come on.
-She's a wild one.
There we go. Wild, huh?
Take it out of there. Get that.
Get into it, Scotty boy.
Scott!
Whoo! Whoo!
Yeah!
Come on, Scotty, yeah.
Let's go, Scott. Whoo!
Yeah! Yeah!
Come on, be a man, Scott.
Would you face that shit?
-Scotty, come on.
-All right now.
Scott! Scott!
[speaking indistinctly]
[Dennis]
Now we can have some fun.
[groaning]
[Dennis grunts]
[Mary groans]
Take it!
[Dennis grunts]
[Mary screaming]
What are you crying about,
you whore, huh?
[Mary crying]
-[Dennis grunts]
-[crying continues]
[Dennis] Okay, Luke. [sighs]
You're up.
[Mary groans]
[Connor] Take a right on 9th.
[Laura] The motel's on state.
[Connor] You're going to take
me to see Dennis.
[Laura] Looking like that?
[Connor] I just need to see
what I'm up against tonight.
[Laura sighs]
[car honking]
Ethan, five minutes.
Five minutes, buddy.
He has a kid.
-Connor.
-What?
You don't get to
hurt his family.
You don't get to
hurt innocent people.
-Right.
-I didn't know.
You know, you know for a fact
that kid never did
anything to you.
Or that woman in there.
The man in that house
raped and murdered my sister.
He dies tonight.
But not his family.
Promise me.
[engine starts]
[engine starts]
[indistinct speaking]
[shower running]
[lock clicking]
Connor?
[door opens]
[gun shot]
[gun shots]
[shallow breathing]
Hey, handsome.
Is she all right?
Who?
Your sister.
So this is
what you want for me.
I-- I don't know.
[indistinct]
Hey!
It's okay.
You can be done.
[car door opens]
[car door closes]
[wheezing]
[chimes tinkling]
Hey!
It's okay.
You can be done.
[coughing]
[wheezing]
[groans]
[coughing]
[coughing]
[vomits]
I've got a gun.
Hey!
[whirring]
-[Screaming]
-Oh, God.
Hey!
No, no, please.
Up.
You listen to me, asshole.
I'm going to count to three.
-One.
-[gun shot]
Ah!
-[kid] Mommy!
-[Dennis's wife] Please!
[sobs] Shit!
That your boy?
Don't you fucking touch him.
Take him into the bathroom.
Why?
[wheezing]
You don't need to see this.
Do it. Take him.
Look at me, honey.
It's going to be okay.
I need you to go with daddy.
[Dennis] Come on, son.
That's a good boy.
[Dennis sobs]
Be strong, kiddo.
You'll be okay.
[kid] Daddy!
[Dennis's wife]
You don't have to do this.
Come here.
Hey, I don't know what you want
or who you think
you're fucking with.
You can stop now, Dennis.
[Dennis's wife] Who are you?
[wheezing]
Tell her my name.
How the hell would I know
what your damn name is?
You recognize that number?
Well, you hired some chump
from the night shift.
Next time pay a professional.
Yeah, listen, you dummy.
The-- The cops are going to
be here any second, all right?
Well, I hope they bring
a lot of backup.
[Dennis's wife] Just take what
you want and leave, please.
Please.
[grunts]
Tie her up. Like you did Mary.
What are you talking about?
What is he talking about?
Show her, Dennis.
No, no. You don't-- You don't
get to come into my home and--
and threaten my wife and kid.
-And spread these lies.
-Dennis.
You're done.
Now, if you do what I say,
you might
make it out alive.
Tie her up.
[Dennis] Okay, babe.
It's going to be all right.
[Dennis's wife] No.
[Connor] Tight.
All right.
All right, it's tight.
I've done what you asked.
That looks about right.
Except you used
those wire hangers.
[sobbing]
Cut Mary's wrist all to shit
when she struggled.
What is happening? Who is Mary?
[sobbing]
Did her eyes look like that?
Connor.
I swear to God,
if you-- if you hurt my wife...
[Dennis's wife] Please.
Please stop.
Did she beg like that, Dennis?
Answer the question.
Did Mary beg like that?
[gunshot]
-Did she beg like that?
-Yes.
Yes.
Dennis!
And did you stop?
No. No.
No.
Hey, hey, yeah, wait, wait.
Listen, look, look. If you--
If you-- If you kill my wife,
what does that do, huh?
What does that accomplish?
The-- The--
The headlines will read
"A Maniac Murders
Innocent Woman with a..."
No one reads the paper anymore.
[coughs]
Oh, well. Okay, look, look.
You're-- You're--
You're sick, all right?
You need help.
I've got doctors I can call.
Yeah, I bet.
You're an important man.
You have money,
friends, family.
You can have anything you want.
Yeah. So-- So let me help.
My life.
I only had one thing.
Hey, it's not too late.
It is though.
[gunshot]
[sobbing]
[coughs]
[wheezing]
No.
Please no.
No. Please no. Please no.
[sobbing]
[siren wailing]
[policemen talking]
[policeman]
We've got the house surrounded.
We don't want
anyone to be harmed.
[gunshot]
[policeman]
Shot fired! Shot fired!
[gunshot]
[indistinct announcement on PA]
Help-- Help-- Help-- Help me.
[Dennis coughs]
[gunshot]
[coughs]
[wheezing]
[siren wailing]
[policeman] Drop your weapon
on the ground, now!
[gunshots]
[inhale & exhales]
You kept me waiting.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
I knew you'd find me.
My hero.
[chuckles]
