The Wrecker (2025) Movie Script

1
Please.
I didn't know.
Dante, please.
Dante.
Dante, please.
I didn't mean to kill your son.
That doesn't do much for me,
does it?
No, no, no, no, Dante.
Dante, no. Please don't.
You gotta believe me.
Dante, no, please.
No, no, no!
Dante.
Please, Dante.
No
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
You don't mess
with a man's family.
You don't mess with
a man's family!
You don't mess
with a man's family.
Whoo!
Whoa. Fucker.
- Morning, Tommy.
- Morning, boss man.
Morning, boss.
Hey, Tone.
That dashboard
figured out?
You mean
the interactive driver display
that some moron
didn't program correctly?
Yeah.
Yo, bro,
check out my new ride, huh?
Come on, Tony,
let's go for a ride.
Wait till you hear
this engine roar.
-Where'd you get it?
-What?
"Where'd you get it, Bobby?"
God, you sound just like Dad.
Come on, Tony, let's go.
Go for a ride with me.
Then I'll tell you.
I'm not going anywhere
in this car with you.
I've got shit to do around here.
Come on, man,
just around the corner.
I'll even let you drive.
All right.
Just around the block.
Attaboy, Tony.
Yeah. Okay.
Try not to piss
your pants, okay?
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Easy, Bobby.
Don't want to scratch her
on her first day.
Just sit back.
Look, little brother.
You can't keep living life
so reckless.
Sure thing, Dad.
Check this out.
Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!
All right. Where'd you get it?
Ah, stop busting my balls, man!
Take it back.
We're not kids anymore, Bobby.
You can't keep doing
the same shit
and have me clean up
your messes.
I'm tired of it.
You know something?
Just once,
I wish I had it all
like you, Tony.
You think all this
was just given to me?
I've worked my ass off
for everything I have.
You have no fucking idea
what it's like
being your screw-up kid brother.
No, nothing I did
was never good enough.
Oh, cut the crap, Bobby.
-If you would just --
-Just -- just what?
Yeah. Go ahead.
Lecture me, like always.
Just get us back
to the garage.
Friends of yours?
Hold on.
-What the hell's wrong with you?
-Just hold on.
What have you
gotten yourself into?
Nothing.
Just don't like
being followed, is all.
Oh, you're gonna get us killed.
Shit!
Fuck!
Aah!
Wake him up.
Good morning, princess.
Some guys like women.
Some like drugs, some power.
Know what I love most
in the world?
Money
and that Ferrari.
Oh, shit.
Shit is right.
I get so upset
when people steal from me.
Where's Bobby?
You mean the piece of shit
that was driving the car?
We'll get to him in a minute.
Tony, right?
This is how it works.
When people take something
from me,
I charge them 100 times
the price of what they took.
That little beauty you and
your low-life brother destroyed
was $280,000.
Uh, ch-ch-ch-ch-sh...
$28 million!
I'm guessing you don't have
that kind of money.
You guessed right.
Untie his hands.
You see how beautiful she is?
This is power.
Take it. Feel the power.
I don't like guns.
- I said take it.
- Take it.
Take it. Don't be such a wimp.
It's empty, you idiot!
Dad keeps all these unloaded.
Put it back.
See?
One click,
and I'll reduce your balance
by 90%.
Do we have a wager?
Do it.
Any last words?
Yeah.
Pull the fucking trigger.
Bang!
Congratulations.
You lived.
Now you only owe me
$2.8 million.
Where is my brother?
Pay off your brother's debt,
and you'll see him soon enough.
How do I even know
you have him?
He's probably back
at the garage.
Open it.
Want more proof?
An ear, a finger?
How do you expect me
to raise that kind of money?
I got a job for you
that can clear your debt.
But let's be clear.
If you don't do it,
I'll section your brother off
like a side of beef.
Be here at 10:00 a.m. tomorrow.
Get him out of here.
What's so important
about this guy anyway?
I need an outsider for this job,
so I don't want to cause a war.
If this guy can do
what I think he can,
I get rid of my problems
with no trace of my involvement.
And if he dies? Eh.
Daddy, you should be asleep.
You're absolutely right,
I should.
Back to sleep, baby.
Good morning, Daddy.
Morning, Sunshine.
-Do you want some breakfast?
-Mwah.
No, thanks. I'll pick up
something from the diner.
Okay, well, um, we gotta go.
I'll drop off Sunshine.
All right. Thank you, Sarah.
Bye, Daddy.
All right, here's one
hot chocolate.
Yeah.
Hey, shug. The usual?
No, I'm just gonna
get a cup of coffee to go today.
I'm in a little bit of a hurry.
I know that it's none
of my business, but --
No. It's not.
Look, I'm real sorry.
Just dealing with a lot
right now.
Sure, Tony.
So why the rush?
I've got a big meeting
I've got to get to.
Well, I hope it goes well.
Yeah.
Me, too.
Open the gate.
Go ahead.
Hmm.
Punctual.
I was hoping we wouldn't
have to come looking for you.
Here's the location
of a Mexican gang.
These guys are trafficking
in young girls,
drawing a lot
of unwanted attention.
Convince them to take
their activity elsewhere.
Sounds easy enough.
Need some guns?
Oh, yeah. You don't like them.
Well, these guys do.
So I hope you can fight.
Yeah. I'm good.
What are you up to,
Mr. Repo Man?
Fuck you want, homes?
Ah.
That's assault.
Hey, hey, hey.
Get out.
Move it!
Detective Boswell
requesting backup.
I'm already on location.
You speak English?
Motherfucker.
You're done here.
Comprende?
Yeah.
Send over an ambulance
to 1700 Parker Street.
Also run the plates
B-L-K-B-T-T-Y.
Copy?
Ooh.
Boy, you look bad.
Yeah, thanks.
Can I help?
Got $2.8 million?
$2.8 million? Damn.
Sorry. Bad joke. I'm fine.
Listen, Tony.
all difficulties soon pass.
Light of day
will shine through again.
The light at the end of a tunnel
isn't a train.
Where do you get this stuff?
Ancient Chinese philosopher.
Uh, name was Jackie Chan.
-Hey, boss.
-Hey, Gia.
Think you can give,
uh, Betty a tune up today?
Absolutely.
Gonna give this little lady
some attention today.
Hey, Eduardo.
I really appreciate you
sticking around all these years.
My dad really loved you.
It means a lot to me.
Got your back, kid.
- Hey, Daddy.
- Daddy!
Hey, Sunshine.
I've been thinking
on the way home.
We haven't had a vacation
in a while.
If you guys could go anywhere
in the world you wanted to go,
where would you go?
Anywhere?
-Um...
-Disney World!
That's a great
answer, Sunshine.
You should go get ready
for bed for me.
Okay, Daddy.
Dad, are you okay?
Yeah.
What you working on?
Um, electrochemical detectors.
Do you know anything about that?
Not really.
Yeah, I figured.
Everything all right?
Yeah.
Watch the shop for me for a bit.
I gotta deal with
a couple of things.
When is my debt paid?
Just relax. I'll tell you when.
Dumbest punks downtown
are selling shit drugs,
laced with fentanyl.
It's killing everybody.
Stupido.
Rule numero uno in business,
don't kill your customers.
Run 'em off, then torch it.
All right, ladies, time to go.
Hurry up. I ain't got all day.
Won't be needing these.
Tony Minetti.
Who are you, sir?
Former military,
dishonorable discharge verdict.
Hmm.
It's not adding up.
What are you doing, Tony?
I was so worried about you
when you left the other day.
You didn't think I was gonna eat
somewhere else, did you?
And cheat on me like that?
Baby, what's going on?
I know that you say
it's none of my business,
but I really worry about you.
Bobby's missing.
He's in trouble.
And now he's got me
tied up into his mess.
Bobby always finds a way
to get into trouble.
Some guy Dante has him, wants
me to do some favors for him
before he lets Bobby go.
Dante, the crime boss?
Do you know him?
I know of him.
I hear talk, you know?
Tony, these are bad people.
My ex was just like him.
And if it's one thing that
I learned being with an asshole,
it's that they'll never
be satisfied.
Here.
I want you to take this.
It's an extra key to my place
if you ever need anywhere to go.
-Okay?
-Thank you.
Yeah.
Hey.
Don't worry about me.
I'll be fine.
Good evening, Sheryl.
Detective Boswell.
What can I get you, detective?
How about a Hennessy neat
and a little conversation?
The conversation
will have to wait.
-I'm a little busy.
-I'll make it brief.
What can you tell me
about Tony Minetti?
Who?
Your friend Tony.
I just seen you talking to him.
Oh, that guy? He --
He was just another customer,
Detective.
I was wondering,
what is your customer doing
hanging out with somebody
like Albert Costello?
I don't know who that is.
He goes by the alias Dante.
Does that ring a bell?
He's the biggest crime boss
since Al Capone.
I'm sorry. I'm pretty sure
I don't know who that is.
So you don't know
who Al Capone is?
I don't know who Dante is.
Got it.
Well, if anything jargons
your memory, anything,
just give me a call, Sheryl.
Cool?
That's 10 bucks.
How about 20 for your troubles?
Keep the change.
Hey, boss.
Brought you some coffee.
Oh. Thank you.
So, uh, when are you gonna
let me really up Betty's game?
What are you talking about?
Uh, I've been doing
some research.
Research?
Found some pretty cool
upgrades for Betty.
-I'm listening.
-So, with a larger display,
increase the processor,
we're going to maximize
the output levels
and really allow Betty to think
and respond on a crazy level.
Want to make Betty
more intelligent, huh?
Mm-hmm.
Tony Minetti?
Give me a minute.
Can I help you?
Detective Boswell.
Well, I don't have
any warrants or citations.
I'm pretty sure all my parking
tickets are paid in full, so --
I said Detective Boswell,
not Vegas Highway patrol.
I don't do tickets.
You've been hanging out with
some very bad people lately.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
You don't know what you're
getting yourself into, Tony.
I'm on your side.
But if you don't tell me
what you're up to,
I'm not going to be so lenient
on your next job.
You feel me?
Yeah?
Yeah.
What's with the sense
of urgency?
I need you to take out
Terry Steinhaus.
He lives at 2017
Millwood Street.
Take him out? Why?
It's not your job to ask why.
I'm not a killer, Dante.
Bobby's life depends on it.
If you must know,
he was my accountant.
He's been embezzling money
from me.
Blow his goddamn brains out.
Oh, yeah. You don't use guns.
Use a bat, pipe,
feathers, I don't care.
Just call me when it's done.
I need to see Bobby.
Do your job,
then you'll see your brother.
You got some balls.
Wow. Raise your sights.
I think you just hit him
in the nuts.
Daddy,
Mommy and I made you dinner.
Hi, honey.
Did you have a good day?
I'm just
happy to be home.
Is it done?
I'm not killing this guy
for you.
Have you forgotten
our arrangement?
You realize that your brother's
life is in my hands, don't you?
Let me make this
perfectly fucking clear.
I'm done.
-Hey!
-If you do anything to Bobby,
you'll be looking
over your shoulder
for the rest
of your fucking life.
Let him go, and I'll figure out
a way to pay off his debt.
We both walk away.
That's the deal.
Cesar, take a crew
and shoot up Tony's house.
But don't mess with the family.
Daddy, we saved you
some popcorn.
Pack your bags. We gotta go.
I'm sorry, sweetheart. You're
gonna have to trust me, okay?
Sarah, get down!
Go, go, go, go.
-Daddy!
-Sunshine?
Daddy!
Sunshine?
Sarah!
Oh, my God. No.
Breathe. Breathe.
Stay with me, Sarah.
Breathe. Just keep breathing.
Oh, my God.
Stay with me, Sarah.
Sarah.
Sarah. Sarah. Oh, my God.
Hurry!
No.
Sunshine, no!
Sunshine! No!
Daddy's coming!
Sunshine, no!
No! No!
Let me go!
Oh!
Tony, I'm sorry.
Detective, you need to see this.
There's about to be a war.
You took care of it?
Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's done.
Yeah, good, Cesar.
I didn't tell you
to kill his fucking family!
You just don't fuck
with a man's family!
I said shoot up his house.
See how this complicates
things for me?
This guy has nothing to lose.
Just don't fuck
with a man's family.
Marco, first mistake
was killing his daughters.
The second was letting him live.
Now go out there, find him,
and finish what you started!
O God,
by whose mercy
the faithful departed
will find rest.
O Lord,
comfort those who mourn
and sustain them
with the hope of eternal life.
Let's go in peace.
Have you seen Tony?
No, I haven't, but...
...he'll show up
when he's good and ready.
Will you let me know
when he's ready?
Sure.
Here.
Have a taste.
Thanks.
Eh, keep it.
Been gone a few days.
Just trying to think
of a reason to keep living.
Hmm.
Did you figure one out yet?
No.
How about I give you one?
I never told you
about my parents, Holmes.
I was 18 years old.
My mom and dad were walking home
from a corner grocery store,
and, uh, they were always,
always holding hands.
I mean, even in the house,
they would hold hands sometimes.
They were walking home
from the corner market
when two young little bastard
wannabe gang banger.
sons of bitches
knocked the groceries
out of my mom's hands.
And my dad, you know,
macho, 112 years old,
tried to stop him, and, uh...
Them worthless sons of bitches
emptied their guns out on 'em.
They bled out right there
on the sidewalk.
Ugh.
I see that shit every day.
I still live in the same
apartment they did,
praying them two little rats
sons of bitches
will cross my path.
You're strong, Tony,
but you gotta keep faith.
You know what happens
when you lose faith?
You're just a lost soul.
Channel all that anger
and all that hate.
Fight the evil in this world.
Breathe. Stay with me.
Remember me?
Stop it!
First question.
Do you have any idea
what he looks like?
He was wearing a hoodie.
What color was the hoodie?
-Did you see anything else?
-No.
Do you remember anything else?
Anything you can give me?
Wait. Um,
he was driving a tow truck.
License plate? Any digits?
Look, if you can remember
anything else,
doesn't matter how late,
like just give me a call, okay?
Appreciate your help.
He tried to kill Ivan
right out in the open.
Stupid bastard.
This problem is
not going away.
Well, detective,
if I didn't know any better,
I'd say you were stalking me.
Aren't there laws against that?
There's no law against coffee
and conversation, Sheryl.
Black with no cream, please.
There you go, one coffee.
Thank you.
Tony's in serious danger.
He has no idea
what he's up against.
I'm trying to help him, Sheryl.
What do you want from me?
I want to know why has
he gotten mixed up with Dante?
Tony's not the bad guy here.
I get that.
But he's out there
doing bad guy shit.
Well, wouldn't you be out there
doing bad guy shit
if someone murdered
your children?
He's one man against an army.
Sheryl, he doesn't
stand a chance.
Now, you can take this
however way you want.
I'm an ally, not an enemy.
I know more than you and Tony.
Boxing me out
doesn't benefit anybody.
You do what you want
with that information.
But next time y'all have
any more private conversations,
share what I shared.
Good to see you, Sheryl.
Asshole.
Hey. What the fuck you doing?
Tony?
Look, Tony, I'm sorry.
It wasn't my idea.
I didn't know he would kill 'em,
I swear.
I'm sorry, Tony,
I-I didn't know!
How long?
Just a couple of years.
I was in a dark place, Tony.
Dante, he -- he helped me out.
He -- he gave me some work.
Now I was telling him what
a badass you were, and he --
he just needed an outside guy
to handle some things for him.
My little girls, Bobby.
They weren't supposed
to get hurt, Tony.
He killed my family.
They were my family, too.
I'm your goddamn family.
When I needed you,
you were too busy
being everything
to everyone else except me.
What was I supposed
to do, Tony? Huh?
I begged you to help me.
I tried to get you clean.
Well, you didn't
try hard enough!
Mr. Military Hero,
good father, good son!
You just had them lock me up,
and you left me there to rot!
-Oh, Bobby --
-I needed you, Tony.
And while you were off
being a big man, a big hero,
I was at home,
cleaning our father's bedpan.
Yeah, I was the only one there
for him when he was dying.
And you know what
he used to say to me
every goddamn day?
"Why can't you
be more like Tony?"
A slap in my goddamn face.
He gave you everything.
His truck Betty,
didn't leave me a fucking dime.
Only had your picture
by his bed when he died! Alone!
So you want to kill me, Tony?
Yeah. You do what you gotta do.
I got nothing
to live for anyway.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, too, Tony.
Let me help you try
to make this right.
Dante.
If you want
to hurt Dante,
you gotta take away the one
thing he loves the most, money.
I need you to write down
the addresses and names
of all of his businesses.
I guess that just
means one thing.
War.
And to think he was trying
to use you to prevent war.
Oops.
I need you to go to
the safe house with Eduardo.
No. Tony, I'm going with you.
I don't need anybody else
getting hurt because of me.
Yeah, but I'm the one
who screwed this up
in the first place.
No!
Make yourself at home, Bobby.
Mi casa es su casa.
Get out.
Now!
Hey, who the fuck are you?
All right.
Got a nice surprise for you.
It's party time.
Aah!
What are you doing here?
Are you all right?
If something happens to me,
I want you to be taken care of.
I'm gonna leave you the garage.
What?
It's probably nothing.
I'm just saying --
I don't want to hear you
talk like this.
That detective,
he's been coming around
and asking questions about you.
He says you're in danger.
Tony, whatever
you're planning --
Hey.
It's almost over.
Mr. Dante,
nice to see you.
We have a deal.
Can I help you
with anything, baby?
We have to move.
Bastard took $4 million
out of my hands.
Ivan, I want you
to pay a visit to Tony's garage.
Remember me?
What you're doing is not gonna
bring your family back, Tony.
I have enough
to take you downtown now.
I'm not gonna do it.
Dante murdered my partner.
He tortured him for days.
Please.
And then sent me
his bloody badge as a warning.
Aah!
I want him gone, too.
So now what?
This is everything that
the department have on Dante
and this whole operation.
He's got eyes everywhere,
my department, the courts,
the streets, you name it.
I'm not the enemy.
You're gonna be okay.
We got you.
He's just a kid.
Take care of him.
He's nuts. He's not gonna let up
until you're dead.
Now, most people
would get the fuck out of town
-after hearing some--
-I'm not most people.
Tony?
Get some sleep.
Good night, detective.
I sound like
a fucking broken record.
I want this guy dead.
Let me handle this.
I'll kill him myself
if I have to.
You can't keep this up.
I'm afraid for you.
You're -- you're gonna
give me nightmares.
You're handsome when you smile.
You should smile more often.
Marco.
Make this quick.
Okay, boss.
Just go take a seat. I'll get
you some water, all right?
Sure.
Would you like me to go in?
No, Dimitri. I got this.
We're gonna need
a big body bag.
Bye-bye, Tony.
Shit.
Where's Marco?
-Where's Marco?
-Marco is big boy.
He will take care of himself.
What's so funny?
Junkie.
Tony is gonna kill you all.
We'll see about that.
Hey.
You okay?
Yeah.
I was gonna ask you
the same thing.
How's your head?
It hurts.
Ta-da.
I'd really love
to get cleaned up.
Sure.
Bathroom's right down the hall.
Thank you.
I need you to come check
something out in the garage.
We know you've had
a rough stretch.
We also know what
you're planning on doing.
Everything on your list,
boss man.
We added in the name
and a few extras, too.
Hey.
I'll give you the Cliff Notes.
Tony,
you've always been
like a son to me.
Thank you, Eduardo.
Gotta keep the kids safe,
you know?
Now, I managed
to put a chip in Betty
so I can monitor
your every move.
I'll be listening and watching
via satellite.
Now, if you need anything,
anything at all,
just tap that earpiece.
Hi, Tony.
I got a present for you.
Bobby, say hi to your brother.
If you want to see
your brother alive,
come to my place tonight.
It's been an honor
knowing each one of you.
I want to thank you
for what you've all done for me.
You're all my family now.
Family.
Family.
Family.
Family.
Family.
I'm coming with you.
Combat mode.
Combat mode activated.
Shoot 'em!
Fuck!
Relax. It's bulletproof.
Eduardo, we good?
Ready when you are!
Here we go!
Oh! That's my girl.
Burn, baby, burn!
Okay, Betty. Guns up.
I thought you didn't use guns.
I promised my mother
I'd never hold one.
Hold one?
Got it.
You bastard.
I loved this shirt.
Eduardo.
- Little help here?
- Okay, yeah.
Let's do this.
Not too bad for a guy
who doesn't shoot guns.
Go find Dante.
I'm good here.
Good night, princess.
Aah!
It's about time, asshole.
I've been waiting all day
for this.
Where's Dante?
I don't have time for this shit.
Where's Dante?
Okay.
You wanna dance?
I thought you'd never ask.
I hate dancing.
Did you think you could
just walk in here and kill me?
You fucking idiot.
You killed my family.
Killed your family?
You fucking jerk-off.
I don't kill kids, get it?
You fucking jumped
before you looked!
You're such a stupid bastard.
You did good, little brother.
Now let's go home.
Tony?
Tony!
Oh, my God.
-You're alive.
-Yeah.
Yeah.
It's over.
It's over.
Daddy!
Daddy!
Thank you.
You're welcome.
It was a little touch and go
for a while, but...
you're clearly raising a patient
and strong little girl.
Where was she?
Detective,
you need to see this.
She's got a pulse.
We had to keep her
in isolation for her protection.
Take care, Tony.
You're a good man, detective.
I want to introduce you
to somebody.
This is Sheryl.
Hi.
It's nice to meet you.
Let's go.
