Seize the Night (2022) - full transcript

Over the course of one night, a whirlwind romance between a drug dealer and a mysterious singer takes them on a collision course with a dangerous mind-control drug through the Los Angeles underground scene.

Angie?

Open the door.

Angie, please, please, please, please.

How are we-

This
band is single-handedly

saving the music industry.

I can't believe we'll finally
see the face behind the music.

I know I'll be tuning into the
live stream tomorrow morning

for the unmasking.

You keep requesting it.

So here it is, the new single from SIN5.



- Fuck yeah.
- ...is Luna.

What the fuck are you doing?

This isn't part of the plan.

I know.

We talked about this.

If they don't see it, they're
gonna think something else.

The papers are signed.

I'm sorry.

Fuck.

Did you tell anybody else?

No.

From now on, it's better
you don't know anything.

Be ready when I need you.

Of course.



Where's the club?

It's called the Hidden Gem.

It's intimate.

You wanna see some pictures?

No, it's okay.

I trust you.

Are we good?

No.

The guests are starting to arrive.

Are you sure about this?

Can I get you a drink?

No.

What's up bro?

GB.

What do you do, GB?

I'm a ski instructor.

I own ski resorts.

You're Windham?

You can find him up
those steps right there.

Thank you.

No problem.

You must be GB.

I appreciate a man who
gets things done, sit down.

You party?

Good?

Good.

That was easy.

Enjoy.

You heard of suggestives?

Yeah.

What do you know?

It's skip all the main
base, for mind control.

It targets the pineal gland
in the back of the brain

where the soul is supposedly located.

Can you get some tonight?

They're super expensive
and even harder to find.

Yeah.

I know.

I got a party downstairs and
I got some thirsty people.

If you can get some tonight,
I'll pay you double the rate.

Double?

I don't like to repeat myself.

I will let you know if I do.

I'll be here.

Have a nice night, GB.

Perfect.

The numbers speak for themselves.

The Chinese have pre-ordered.

We've got action figures,
dolls, clothing, jewelry.

We've got everything from shoelaces

to mouse pads and bubblegum.

Goodbye kitty.

We're gonna be bigger than Coke.

Cola.

Have a drink.

Hi.

Hi.

I like your Docs, they
remind me of ninth grade.

I've had them since ninth grade.

You look cool.

You look like you could
be in a Tim Curry movie,

or like a Sandman comic book.

You seem comfortable in the dark.

I like being mysterious.

You down with the money moguls,

or are you with the underground?

Come out so I can see you.

I like being in the shadows.

What's your name?

GB.

GB?

GG.

Okay.

I'll play along.

Now what?

Well it's

a party going on.

This place sucks.

Would you be open to go on a quest?

It depends.

Have you ever heard of suggestives?

What's that?

Well, If you take the best
components of every drug

and you roll it into
one, that's what you get.

You can suggest anything within yourself

to another person, or even together,

and it will fucking happen.

Information is faster than
we know what to do with it.

Nothing should be that accessible.

Nothing brews anymore,
especially in the arts.

There's no passion.

No identity.

No identity,

until now.

But that's why you're all here.

Without any further ado,

ladies and gentlemen,

I give you the lead singer of SIN5,

The lead singer of SIN5.

Excuse me.

I'm just on the other side.

What a cool bridge.

It's called Shakespeare Bridge.

Is that an indication

of what's gonna unfold tonight?

What does that even mean?

I like this.

Please get down from there.

Seriously.

Okay.

What shall we do?

Did you leave your date behind?

No, he's more like my brother,

just wants to know where I'm at.

Oh, he's probably just
looking out for you then.

Oh, the Hollywood sign.

Oh, your first time in LA?

How long have you lived here?

I grew up here.

How do you like it?

You can be honest.

A lot of show and tell,
so many people come and go.

And I can only imagine how many dreams

get crushed here every day.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Well, like, you know, like the
first time you come out here,

you know, you don't know anybody.

It's like, you don't know
what you can eat next,

you don't know where you're gonna sleep,

so you better be good at
whatever it is that you're doing.

Like take musicians, for example,

like the early stuff is usually
better than the later stuff,

because then they got some money

and got driven around
in limos all day long.

Got too comfortable, you know?

That's why there's so
many one hit wonders.

Yeah, exactly.

That's why I wanted to stay hungry.

So what were you doing at the party?

You don't know what the party was for?

No.

You don't know?

No.

It was the unveiling of SIN5.

What?

Holy fuck, oh my God I fucking love SIN5

What do they look like?

I don't know, they
there were in and out.

I really like their name, too.

I wonder if it means-

- Left.

Last number five after seven.

Yeah.

What's your favorite song by them?

There's too many.

It's not Luna?

Luna's up there,

but that's like for
only certain occasions.

I imagine the song was
written for nights like this,

special occasions.

302 in the red.

Double Jack.

What's a 302?

It's two 151's.

For hardcore people.

You didn't even want to bring me.

I was just feeling you out.

I thought it was gonna
be an Illuminati party.

I wish, I'm not that cool.

Let's talk about you.

Let's not, let's just lie to each othe

What do you want to lie about?

Anything inconsequential.

That could be anything.

Exactly.

What's your porn name?

Yeah, I know that one.

Name of first pet and sweet.

It's Sparkle Babcock.

PP Interceptor.

See? Who cares about names,

as long as we're having fun.

Cool.

What's the craziest
thing you've ever done.

Peyote, with shamans.

Did you find your spirit animal?

No,

I saw my dead grandfather.

Do you really want to hear this?

Yeah.

I woke up during the wake.

He's sleeping right next to me.

And meanwhile, his casket
is supposed to be outside,

and his body's supposed to be in it.

I mean, I've tripped hard before,

but once I took some acid that
was fucking double dipped,

and dickhead forgot to tell me that.

We went to the park,

and I was so fucking high.

Like literally like the world
like turned upside down,

and I'm holding onto the
grass with my fingertips.

So I wouldn't fall down
into the fucking sky.

What I'm saying is that,

I know when I'm high and when I'm not.

This time, it was real.

He showed himself to say goodbye.

Do you even believe me?

Yeah, absolutely.

Thanks.

You?

Out of body experience.

Do tell.

I was hanging out with these hippies,

doing shrooms in the forest,

a lot.

And I was sitting on this stump,

waiting for it to hit me basically.

And everyone said,

I was just sitting there very
catatonic and not talking,

and they thought it was
fine, so they just all left.

And the next thing I know,

I am looking down from above the trees,

and everyone's running around naked,

and I was floating
anywhere I wanted to go.

And then I started to move

into this really dark space.

And I knew that if I
continued, it would mean death.

So I turned around.

And that's why I believe in
souls or energy consciousness.

- And I'm not afraid of-
- Dying.

Living.

Shall we inquire of our seekings.

By any chance, do you know

where we can get some suggestives?

No.

No.

Anything?

Everybody has some hearsay story,

but nobody knows anything.

Same here.

I love this scene.

Me too.

I mean, why can't this be the norm?

Why does plain and boring
have to be the judges?

Because if you reverse it,

then the plain and
boring would be the cool.

Yeah, I guess.

Have you ever been to Wave-Gothic-Treffe

What's that?

My God, it's a music
festival in Leipzig, Germany,

and the whole town turns goth for a week

And you see these goth families

with the cutest little goth babies.

It'll never be the norm.

Let them judge all they want.

So you want to have a goth baby?

What does a goth baby look like?

Does he have like baby death hawk

with like little burnsy wurnsies?

We should have tried.

She's pretty.

Look at her.

She's all free of an
inhibition, in the moment,

right here, right now.

Go up there.

I dare you.

I mean what have you got to lose?

Just pretend nobody's here.

I dare you.

All right.

If I go up there,

you have to do whatever I dare.

No.

Too late.

That was so impressive.

I think you deserve a 604.

Can I get a hug instead?

I hear those leave a
cinnamon taste on your lips.

Yo!

Are guys looking for some suggestives?

What? Are you interested or not?

Come on, let's go talk somewhere quiet

Step into my office.

So.

You guys try it yet?

No.

Dude, my last client,
this fat fuck of a dude,

he takes some, drops to the ground

and this motherfucking
slob starts doing pushups

on two fucking fingers, man,

over and over until three of
the hottest girls in the club

went home with him.

Let's talk biz.

All right.

Four ounce bottle's 10 Gs.

If you're serious, we can make it happen

10 Gs?

10 Gs?

I got a lot of people here
that want to see me, so-

- We'll take it.

You know it's cash only?

I know.

What are you doing with that much cash

For emergency drug deals.

It's fine, you don't have to pay me back

Who are you?

We got half.

All right.

I guess you'll get the rest at pickup.

Okay, I'm cool with that.

Message me, but do it soon.

Fucking busy bro.

Catch you guys later.

So,

where to now?

The manor.

Okay.

What is this place?

It's a therapy group that
I go to, trade for trade.

I give 'em meds, they give me money.

Hey GB.

Hey.

How you doing man?

Okay, the wine is here.

Hey, how are you buddy?

All right!

Yeah man, I jack off all day long, man

You know, to hentai.

Cartoons only fucking get me hard now.

You know, it's fucking evil.

I just remember he kept saying,

I love you, I love you, I
just remember him saying that.

And I thought to myself, Jesus,
this man really loves me.

My head was bleeding

and there was blood all over.

He broke my arm.

To be perfectly honest with all of you,

I felt,

I believed him.

I thought, if this is love,

then I'm gonna take it.

I promised myself I
wouldn't do it again.

I'd been alone for years
and I was happy, 'cause

I couldn't be hurt that way.

And,

and then

I went to the department store
I used to go to growing up.

And I saw her.

It was like love at first sight.

Thank you.

And thank you, Yuki,
Chastity, for sharing.

Addiction is a motherfucker.

You know?

But here we are, we're all in
a safe environment, you know,

GB, GG, would you like to share?

I am not there.

You don't want to go?

Yeah, I mean like those
cheeks and that little nose,

it was just like, when you squeeze it.

GG?

Yeah?

We really got to go.

No, let's stay.

I'm having so much fun.

Look at his tongue, it's so cute.

Listen GG, we really have to go, pleas

Hey dude, what the fuck?

Get the fuck off of my brother.

What?

Hey.

Hey, come on, wait.

Wait.

Come on.

Stop acting funny.

I want some drugs man.

I want some drugs.

Keys?

Everyone in there was bearing their soul

Why wouldn't you?

Those are my friends inside.

They're the ones recovering,
and you're gonna act like that?

Hey, I just want you to
be with me in the moment.

Well you got it.

Come on.

I kissed a furry.

I mean you were kung fu fighting him.

I'm with you.

Okay?

What are you doing to me?

Okay.

I just reacted, okay?

You were so jealous
and you were so cute.

We're still short.

So what are we gonna do?

Fuck, I can't believe I got to do this

Who the hell put up these lights?

Your mom has that much cash.

Yeah, she's a bit of a prepper.

You know she got all
brainwashed from my dad.

Fuck, I don't know if I want to do this.

What are you gonna tell her?

I don't know.

I'm really sorry if I
woke you up tonight, mom.

No problem.

I can use the company.

So what is it?

What do you need the money for?

I can double up my money

by investing in something tonight.

No you can't.

Are you talking about drugs?

Yes.

No.

Had you finished your studies

you'd be in a big
pharmaceutical company by now.

That's spilled milk talk, mom,

you know I hate spilled milk talk.

If I give you the money,
will you go back to school?

Mom?

I put in a lot for this house.

Yeah, with drug money.

So what? I earned it.

This must look really weird to you.

Yeah.

I can tell when a person is lying.

So I just stopped lying.

We want to get married.

Go on.

He was there for me at the right time,

at the right moment.

I've been traveling the
world the past year.

Jumped out of planes, swam with sharks.

Ultimately I'm alone.

It's been a long time.

He makes me feel.

He makes me feel.

Okay.

I'll give you the money.

Hello?

No, no, no, don't worry about it.

No, it's okay.

No, I'll call you right back.

Here you go.

Count it to be sure.

Where's GG?

She's on the phone outside.

You come over less and less.

I don't see you enough.

You know I don't like
seeing you like this.

It's God's will.

He has a plan.

It's not God's will mom.

You can have the fucking operation.

You so goddamn stubborn.

It's so fucking superstitious.

Missus Smith had the same eye operatio

She died soon after that.

Don't you want to be
able to see me again?

Or anybody, don't you
want to be able to see GG?

I can still see you.

I really can.

I see your wrinkles in your forehead.

I see the U shape of your mouth.

I'm wearing lipstick, and I have makeu

No, you're not.

Just eye makeup.

Mom, I'm gonna bring you back somethin

It's a new drug from the black market.

Listen, I can treat you.

Please don't.

I don't want it.

Did you ever look to God
for help with your ordeal?

You cannot enter his kingdom

if you kill yourself, right?

No.

I gotta go, mom.

GB.

Do you ever think about death?

Every day.

I think people block it
out, but she'll come.

She?

She sounds better, doesn't it?

She would be more forgiving.

I don't know.

I like Robert Redford as death.

Yeah, Twilight Zone.

I don't think he's your type.

No?

Maybe you're right.

It's him.

Not even here yet.

That guy's got the worst timing.

Might as well take a look around.

Tell me your thoughts.

Religion and

indoctrination.

Maybe he's just insane.

No, not this guy.

No, he's not insane.

On account of everything is so dark,

like everything's just
fucking falling apart.

It's like his world is in
the hell, like literally.

And?

This guy wants to believe in God,

or he stopped believing.

Now he thinks he might go to hell.

If he didn't believe in God,

he wouldn't believe in hell at either.

But he had guilt.

That's all his guilt.

Just because you have
like different opinions,

people will persecute you,

just like in the old days.

Just like the crusades.

It's still like that.

Yeah.

Oh it's Dali.

He's my favorite.

He has a piece called,
Woman at the Window,

and it's, the colors, it's blue,

it's green, and it feels alive,
and it just takes you there.

I stood in front of it for an hour,

and then I came back for it again.

I was completely obsessed,

and I would stand there and just

daydream and imagine that she'd be waiti

for lover's ship to come.

And then I thought no, that's too obviou

What if

he was watching her

the same way you're looking at a paintin

and she knew it,

and she would pretend
like she didn't know,

and that's how she would hook her man.

And then she would turn around,

and I would see her beautiful face,

and her eyes would be calm
and filled with contentment

and acceptance and bliss.

What do you think happens when we die?

I think when we die, that's it.

The time that we have is what we have.

I think I'm gonna make the best of it.

Yo!

You guys ready to do some drugs or what?

Yeah.

Yeah, I got it.

Let's go talk over there.

Okay.

Come on.

How long know that guy for?

Not too long, actually
we just met like, tonight.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

You guys ready to do this?

Yeah.

No bullshit.

Okay.

Here's the address, burn
it when you get there.

Listen to me.

You gotta be on this guy's level.

What does that mean?

What does that mean, this guy?

What it means is, if he doesn't like you

he's not gonna sell to you.

And brother, if he doesn't trust you,

he will fucking kill you.

Honey, I'm sorry, earlier,

I didn't realize who you were.

Would you mind?

No, it's okay.

Just a quick?

You're so sweet, thank you.

It's an honor.

Thanks.

Wow, all right.

Be cool.

What?

What?

He was draped all over you.

Oh he was not.

Why?

Are you jealous?

Yeah.

Give it up.

You can have whatever you want, man.

We're cool.

Give me your fucking suggestives.

We don't have suggestives.

GG.

GG.

Crazy bitch.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Okay.

Now just stay in the car please?

Don't open the doors for anybody, okay?

Nobody.

Okay.

What are you doing?

I'm coming with you.

No!

You don't trust me after everything.

No, yes, no, no.

Listen, I appreciate you, but you're so-

- So, so what?

I have to pee.

Oh, okay.

Go in the bushes, I'll look out for you.

What kind of a girl do you think I am?

GG, now isn't the time to be difficult

I have to pee!

Okay, fine!

Hello?

Greetings.

Hi.

Want to party?

My girlfriend has to pee.

Do you mind if she uses the bathroom?

But of course.

Hey, I'm GG.

Hi GG, I'm Leif.

Welcome.

Come on up.

The bathroom's on your right.

Would you like a cocktail?

302?

Yes.

That's my kind of girl, get up here.

Leif Strong.

Citizens of the Universe, Leif Strong.

I didn't even recognize
you without your beard.

You're awesome.

Thank you.

I love conspiracy theories.

Do you love the word theory?

See that?

The signature line on every
bank issued personal check

has writing so small, it's
not visible to the human eye.

What?

That's what they mean when they say,

read the fine print
before signing anything.

You've seen the owl on the dollar bill?

Yeah, it's in the corner, right?

There's pyramids in China.

Yeah, much bigger than the ones in Giza.

And you know what they found inside?

10-foot-tall mummies with red hair.

Hello Norscot's calling.

The government freaked out.

They covered it with dirt.

Now it's just a giant mountain.

Discovery of the century, right?

Oh no, they found another one.

At the bottom of the ocean
in Puerto Rico, oh shit!

It gets better.

Mars.

Damn.

Did we go to the moon.

Yeah,

but not by Apollo.

They're masking the truth

with yet another lie, those idiots.

Can you believe there are still people

that think the Earth is flat?

But why would governments
go to such lengths

to cover this up?

All done?

Shut up Scully.

The truth is in plain sight.

You just need to learn
how to read the symbols.

The Gods never left.

We are all of stock.

You know, people see aliens and UFOs

all over the US all the time,

and they act like they don't exist.

Right.

The fact that we exist,
why can't others exist?

But do we really exist?

Are we not holograms?

Every portion of the universe

carries a semblance of the whole,

like William Blake said,

you can find the universe
in a grain of sand.

Bravo, bravo, GG, a
holographic universe.

Your girlfriend rocks.

She's not my girlfriend.

You said she was.

No.

She's a.

She's the love of my life.

Thank you for that suggestion, GG.

Speaking of suggestions,
have you got the money?

I do.

We're all gods.

You'll see.

You'll see.

Did I pass his psychic test?

There's no test.

We work pretty well together.

Look, you're pretty charming
but you shouldn't be here.

How many more parties
do we have to go to?

After this, suggestives are the party.

Listen, I really appreciate you,

and now he'll set up a
change in the bathtub,

but it's still very dangerous.

Leif seems pretty harmless to me.

I can't find my phone.

You want us to call you?

You know that saying,

your life is flashing before your eyes?

Yeah well, that's when the
brain knows it's gonna die.

You know what it does?

It's just reevaluating itself, you know,

it's flashing all of your
memories in your whole life.

And so any time I want to
remember something like,

where did I put my fucking phone?

I just put this gun in my
mouth and I really pretend.

I put it in my back pocket.

The idiot.

Here you go.

We gotta go.

Oh wait, one more thing.

Mandela will affect
the world on champions.

Right.

It's been a pleasure, yeah.

Yeah baby, yeah it's the desert baby.

The desert baby.

I feel like dancing.

Oh my God, everybody's
talking about the secret show.

We should go there tonight.

Okay, let's go.

I guess we're early.

What is this place called?

Like the Hidden Gem.

It's called the Hidden Gem.

Should we just um?

You want to get out of here?

I'm so sorry.

I'll be right back.

He put this together,
he'll know what's going on.

Hey, hey.

Hey.

I guess we're early.

You know, I was gonna surprise you.

I didn't know you knew.

What?

You're here with SIN5.

Who?

You, you're with SIN5.

You're with her, right?

I'm so excited for the
unveiling of SIN5 tonight.

I can't wait to see what they look like.

Wow, great jacket.

Thank you.

So you came with GB, right?

- She's SIN5.
- She's SIN5?

She's SIN5.

It's been a while since
he's brought somebody around,

since Angie.

He told you about his ex, right?

Yeah, of course.

He's been so open about her suicide.

I think it's part of his healing process

but it's great he's moving on.

Yeah.

We need to talk.

Yeah, we do.

You want to go first?

Yeah, I actually do.

So when were you gonna tell me?

Tell you what?

That you're freaking SIN5.

I was making it up as I went along.

That's the first honest thing
you've said all night then.

You're a pretty damn good
actress, you know that?

You even sold it to my mom.

I wasn't lying.

So what were you gonna do?

Just like, bye GB.

See you later GB.

- Was that it?
- No.

- It was just.
- What?

- I was just.
- What?

I was in the moment,

and I just wanted to be
with somebody real and,

and you know, who the fuck knows

what's gonna happen to my career.

And why is that so bad?

You're right, we never promised anythi

to each other, right?

I never judged you.

Why do you get off judging me?

It's this night.

It's been crazy.

It's squashed.

Okay?

It's squashed.

I didn't mean any of that.

I'm sorry.

Don't do that again.

It's your turn.

Lately I've been thinking
about bucket lists.

Why do you wait to do
them until you're old?

I want to do it all, tonight.

What does it matter?

We're not gonna see each
other again after tonight.

I mean you'll probably go on tour

for like the next 10 years.

I wasn't kidding earlier.

I dare you to marry me.

I'm not going to Vegas.

I know you, you're just like me.

You don't want to live a normal
life, you want to be free.

If we have the potential
to love each other,

and if we can feel yes,
then we're married.

You just want to go through the motion

but without the end result.

If we love each other, then it's real.

We're never going to
see each other again.

Not until we're married.

I need a ring.

Do you need anything?

I'll let you figure that one out.

Right.

Something has to happen first.

What a gorgeous view.

I don't know what to say.

Anything is possible with you.

I wouldn't want to change
anything about tonight.

I wouldn't want to change
anything about you.

If I can do it all over again,

I wouldn't change a fucking thing.

I understand if we'd never
see each other again.

So I wouldn't bottle everything up.

I just to freeze everything in time,

because it's you.

I knew it from when I saw you.

I will cherish the moments that we had.

I heard you say yes.

I mean who cares

if we don't know what they look like?

Maybe the mystery just adds to the art.

This is the SIN5.

- Excuse me.
- What?

I thought you liked SIN5.

Yeah.

That's our song.

It was?

What? What?

Special occasions.

Will you please stop, will
you just talk to me for a sec?

Nice pool.

Where are you going?

It's December.

Look, it's really cold,
can we just go inside?

What are you doing?

Why are you taking off your coat for?

What's going on?

Will you just talk to me?

Look, I'm sorry.

Whatever it is, I'm really, really sorry

Prove to me that I
didn't make a mistake.

What the fuck?

I hate you.

I hate you too.

Uh, really?

I just put it on and then.

I'm gonna go and fix a us suggestives.

No talking.

I get to be the judge.

Drink.

So, what do you want to suggest?

To be.

Yeah?

Let's be stardust.

Are you sure I can keep your clothes?

They're something to remember me by

so you won't forget.

My ride is gonna be here, soon.

You're so beautiful,
I was thinking that,

I wish I could take back my dare.

You can't change the rules
on me, that's not fair.

We never talked about the goodbye part

That's easy.

I'm gonna hold you,

and then I'm gonna kiss you,

and I'm gonna say goodbye.

And let me be who I am.

And I love you.

It's okay.

You don't have to take back.

Why are you taking fentanyl?

I need you to tell me, why
you are taking fentanyl.

Only if you had pancreatic
cancer you would take this stuff.

I have one month.

We have suggestives.

It can cure you.

We'll get more.

No it can't.

We just had cosmic fucking sex.

What do you mean it can't?

I leave on my own terms.

What are you gonna do,

you're gonna party yourself to death?

It's my choice.

Don't you have a family?

What about your fans?

You have no idea how to breaks you dow

None.

Yes I do.

GB, you're scaring me.

No.

We manifested each other,

so you have to see it through.

No, GB.

You said you loved me.

Did it.

GB, the pills.

The pills.

The pills.

No no no.

I'll shave my legs for you every night.

I love you, I'll give my life for you.

I will do whatever you want to suggest

I didn't know how to tell you.

You've taken suggestives before.

They can't fix my cancer.

We can't end it like this.

My whole life has been
compromises, and that ends tonight.

I'm taking control.

GG?

We'll start over, okay?

My name is Sasha.

I just a fucking drug dealer,

and I fell for you.

I'm so sorry, GG.

Sasha?

I'm Tasha.

I'm the lead singer of SIN5,

and I will end my life

at the break of dawn on
stage at the Hidden Gem.

Goodbye, GB.

What'd you do?

Alex.

Drive.

Nighty night.
