Hacksaw (2019) - full transcript

A young couple traveling across the rural outskirts of California, go off course by stopping at an abandoned building near the city, to see where the local urban legend of the notorious murderer, Eddie "Hacksaw" Crowe was killed.

We good.

Hold up.

Well take your sweet

fucking time, honey.

Today!

Almost.

How do my teeth look?

You look good.

Good?

They're perfect.

Well that's what

I want to hear.

If you take one

more damn minute!

Ready.

Good.

I'm Max Hart,

here live to give

you a first look

at the building where

everything took place.

For years, this

city has been trying

to tear down this building.

And now, finally, right

before Christmas, folks,

we're getting a little

present early this year.

With news that was

just released today,

the tear down to this

building will begin

the day after Christmas,

finally, putting to

rest the horrible past.

But what really happened here?

Is the legend true

about this Ed Crow?

The man who killed over 300

people in this building.

Men, women, children,

all killed by his hacksaw.

Or was it all made up?

This once former hospital

has still yet to release

any documents confirming whether

or not this man, Ed Crow,

in fact worked here.

Or was it a game of copycat?

Said people taking this

thing a little too far,

wackos who call themselves

the followers of Ed Crow?

When we come back, I'll be live

with a man who believes

the legend is true.

A brother to one of the victims

who was last seen near this

building just last October.

When we come back,

I'll be live with Richard

Hill on The Hart Show.

Good.

That look good?

It was great.

My teeth, they look good?

Yeah, they're good.

That's not what I

want to hear, dick.

They're perfect.

My man.

Are you recording?

No,

I'm not recording.

Asshole!

Ow, are you

gonna help me pack or what?

No, I'm

taking a shower.

Get over here,

come and help me pack.

Come on.

This is how I need

a shower to get on the road.

Thank you.

Hey babe, if you watch

this or when you watch this,

I just wanted to say thank you.

What could've been an

easy plane ride back home

has turned into a

two day road trip

because someone thought

it would be a good idea.

So thank you.

I love you.

And thanks for helping me pack.

Oh, one other thing

I want to add,

when we get married

and have kids,

you're helping out, okay?

I'm not gonna be

your fucking slave.

Just wanted you to know that.

Oh, and I get dibs on

naming the first kid.

Knowing you you're going

to want to call him

Sky or Friday or Apple

or some stupid fucking

celebrity kid name.

So, uh-uh, first dibs

and you're not smoking

anymore, I've decided.

What up, bee-otch?

- What's wrong?

- I'm engaged.

Oh my god!

Oh, I'm gonna get Mom.

No, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no.

- Please don't get Mom.

- Okay, why?

Because we're headed there.

It's a surprise.

- Oh really?

- Yes.

What time are you

guys flying out?

Well, we're driving.

- Who's stupid idea was that?

- Mine.

Please promise?

Whatever, just don't take

forever to get here, okay?

Teryn, promise me

you're not gonna tell Mom.

Teryn?

I promise, I promise,

I won't say anything.

Okay, well, we got

to get on the road

to head your way, okay?

I'll see you soon.

- Bye, bitch.

- Love you.

I'm driving.

I'm driving.

Come on.

I'm driving.

Whatever, man.

Love you.

Whatever.

I told Teryn.

You what?

I told Teryn.

Why

would you do that?

Why would you tell her?

Why would you tell her?

'Cause she's my sister.

She's

gonna tell your Mom.

She's gonna tell your Mom.

No, she's not.

Well, just don't

be surprised when we get there

and your Mom already knows.

She won't.

So we're taking

the 26 to get there?

Nope.

Why?

Because I thought we could

take the scenic route for once.

You know

it's gonna take

a lot longer to get there.

No, it won't.

- It will.

- Not.

- It will.

- Not.

- Mm-hm, it will.

- Not.

- It will.

- Not.

- It will.

- Not.

- Will.

- Not.

- Will.

- Not.

Stop it!

Are we

going, let's go!

- Stop.

- Come on!

And we're off.

Are you recording right now?

Yes, Ash, yes, I

am recording you right now.

Well stop, I don't

look good right now.

I disagree, babe.

I think you look pretty

fucking foxy right now.

Oh my god.

So just

own it, alright?

Let me see it, come on.

Let's see those beautiful

lips of yours, come on.

- I said no, stop.

- Come on, let me

get a close up.

I'm gonna pinch your titty.

Quit it dick, I'm driving.

- Babe, I...

- Don't.

I really need to

go to the bathroom right now.

Well, hold it.

Babe, I

really, really need

- to go to the bathroom right now.

- Hold it!

Okay, I

really, really need

to go to the bathroom right now.

You want me to hold it?

Are you serious right now?

Okay, I'm gonna

get a kidney stone, all right?

There's a gas station

coming up, all right,

and I just really need

to go to the bathroom!

Well, if Christmas

wasn't enough on your mind,

it looks like winter is going

to be a little off this year.

Record high temperatures

reaching well over

in the mid-high one hundreds.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Guys, this

is DJ Cassidy...

Did you get me a drink?

What, no.

Did you get me a drink?

You didn't

say you wanted to drink.

I want a soda.

All right, thanks

for telling me now, okay.

And jalapeno chips.

Soda

and jalapeno chips.

Yeah, since I'm here.

Babe, I really don't

wanna go back inside there.

Please babe?

You're

really gonna make me

go back in there, huh?

For your fucking jalapeno chips?

Jalapeno chips, my favorite.

You're

gonna make me do this?

Yeah, yeah, I'm starving.

Are you sure?

Hurry up, gotta go!

Now how long was she gone

before you and your family

noticed something was off?

After we realized she hadn't

contacted us for two days,

we contacted the police.

And did the

police do anything?

Yeah, they filed

a police report

and said they do their

best to find her.

Their best.

Now, how do you feel

now that this building

is being torn down?

Absolutely nothing.

It feels great.

But it's not gonna

bring my sister back.

How long has it been since

your sister's disappearance?

She didn't disappear.

That fucker got her.

We can't cuss live.

I'm sorry.

So what do you

feel really happened?

It's really obvious.

The whole city knows

he still lives there.

Somewhere.

He as in Ed Crow?

Ed Hacksaw Crow.

He killed my little sister.

Do you feel that

your little sister

is still in this building?

Fucking a, I do.

Sorry, yes I do.

I believe he fucking killed her

and all these fucking

followers that follow him

like some fucking cult helped

him fucking kidnap her.

Now if you, Richard Hill,

could do anything to this man,

if you could say

anything to this man

in front of millions of

watchers in this world,

what would you say?

The camera's right there,

what would you say?

I wouldn't say anything.

You wouldn't?

I would do to him what

he did to my sister.

Okay.

I'd cut him up with

his own fucking hacksaw!

Okay, that's it.

Okay, that's it.

The people here need

to know the truth.

They think he's dead or never

existed, but I know the truth.

He's fucking real and

all of his followers,

they're all fucking in on it.

- Stop recording, dumbass!

- Sorry.

There's a fucking

kid out here.

- They're all in on it.

- Stop recording, dumbass.

They help him take people

and they fucking kill,

don't touch me,

you fucking prick!

Hey, this is my show.

I don't give a shit.

People need to know, they

need to know the truth.

People are dying in here.

They're tearing down this

building after Christmas,

- you know this!

- That's not gonna stop him!

That's not gonna, he's

not going to go away.

Okay, okay, that's it.

This interview is over.

You can't fucking kill him.

You can't fucking kill evil!

You can't...

That is gonna get

old really fast.

Come on, babe.

I just got the fucking camera.

I'm experimenting

with the settings.

I'm just getting used to it.

I'm trying to figure it out.

Come on, just stop being

a fucking Grinch, alright?

Come on.

I'm not a Grinch,

I just don't like the

way I look right now

for you to be recording me.

You know I love you

stuffing in your

mouth like that.

You know how I love to see

you stuffing your mouth.

With chips, with chips, come on.

Hey, I was

listening to that.

Not the best thing to

hear before Christmas, guys,

but the city's mayor has

issued a statement today

that the building

on 21st and Grape

will in fact be torn down

right after Christmas.

I know it doesn't bring

back your loved ones,

but it certainly eliminates

that horrible place

from ever standing tall

in this fine city of ours.

So finally the home to the

most notorious murderer

in history, Ed Crow,

will be gone forever.

Now back to something a

little more cheerful, huh?

I'm going to play one more

song before I head out

and Mandy comes in and

covers the next round.

That's right, your

local favorite Mandy.

I'm heading off on

vacation for two weeks,

but Mandy will be

in to cover for me

and make sure we pay

the bills around here,

'cause somebody's got to do it.

But first, this next song

for all my first time

couples out there,

during the best

time of the year.

That's right, I'm your

favorite, DJ Cassidy,

and this is your favorite

station to listen to

on the road, while at work,

live all day at HC Radio.

We're so going.

No, we are not going.

Nope, we're going.

It's fucking insane.

It's fucking, it's gonna be fun.

They're gonna tear it down soon.

It's really fucking cool.

Come on, I can get all

the footage on my camera.

It's gonna be sick.

Are you deaf, I said no

and they said the

building was sealed off...

No, they said they're

tearing it down after Christmas.

Okay, it's gonna be gone soon.

- No.

- Why?

Why, why?

- We're not going?

- Why?

Well, one, we have

to get to my parents

and tell them the big news.

And two, I'm not running

around in some building

where some shit went down.

- Ashley?

- Don't.

- Ashley?

- It's not gonna work, Tommy.

Heart crushed.

That's what this

supposed legend, Ed Crow,

has done to folks

in this glory sick.

I'll just like,

did you get that?

Hurt, crushed,

that's what this

legend, Ed Crow,

has done to folks

in his glories.

I would just like

to take the time

to thank Mr. Richard Hill

for coming on The Hart Show.

Your family will have justice.

Your family will be

happy once again.

Thank you for coming on

The Hart Show, Mr. Hill.

This building that

I'm standing next to

will be torn down to

absolutely nothing,

down to the fucking ground.

Excuse me.

Pavement, it's flat pavement,

turned into a parking lot.

I'm sorry, just, it

hurts me terribly

when good, hardworking

Americans like Mr. Hill

have to suffer like this.

Hey, come here.

Now, if there is an Ed Crow,

if there is the supposed

followers of Ed Crow out there,

you hear this, we're

coming for you.

And the light's about

to shine on you,

if you're still in there.

And cockroaches run out

when the light's on.

So be ready.

Cause we're coming in,

we're going to tear

this whole goddamn thing

down on your faces.

I'm Max Hart and this

is The Hart Show.

Till this time after

Christmas, we'll be here,

live, when we bring down this

motherfucker to the ground.

And who fucking is talking

across the goddamn street

during my video.

'Cause your dick is

so small, little dick.

He could see my dick

all the way from here.

What the fuck are you saying?

It's over, done.

Right now it's done?

It's done when I say it's

done, this is The Hart Show.

Oh, we got to wrap

up now, I'm Max Hart,

we're going to see you

this time after Christmas,

when we tear this

motherfucker to the ground.

So are you gonna

ignore me all night?

What?

Are you gonna

ignore me all night?

No, I'm not

ignoring you at all.

Okay, let's go.

Go where?

You know where.

What, now?

No idiot, tomorrow.

But I

thought you didn't wanna

go to the building.

Well, I mean the road trip

was my idea so I feel bad.

We really

don't have to go

if you don't wanna go.

Really, it's fine.

It's fine, it's okay.

You really want to

go, so let's go.

Do you still want to go?

Fuck yeah,

I still wanna go.

It's not that far

from your Mom's anyway

so it's probably about

at least an hour out.

I did like the road

trip, it was fun.

I did get to get some

things on my camera, so,

but would've got there a lot

faster if we took a plane.

That's just me, all right,

I mean, hey, I'm not pointing

any fingers at anybody,

but you know, still

love you, babe.

Well, we wouldn't be

able to do this anyways

in the future, we're

gonna be pretty busy.

Busy.

Yeah, when we have kids.

Busy, uh-huh, as in,

you do know that just

because you have a kid

doesn't mean you

can't go anywhere.

You can still do things.

People go to a lot of

places with their kids.

But it's a lot harder.

Yeah,

it's a little harder,

but we'll make it work.

Kids as in more than one?

That's usually

what that means?

Well let's just see

how it goes with one, okay?

If I can keep something

alive for longer than a year,

then we can talk.

Nope.

I'm not

having five kids.

Never said we're

having five kids.

Or four.

One is good.

One is good.

So did

you tell your Dad?

What was that?

Did you tell your Dad?

What, about us?

- Yeah.

- I did.

And how did it go?

All right,

that's all that matters,

but yeah, I don't talk to him

like you talked to

your parents, okay?

Doesn't really matter what he

said or what he thought, okay?

Guys, we don't really

talk about our feelings.

You two need to work out

whatever it is that's going on.

Me and Dad, we're

really not the talking type.

So you know this

already, so, okay.

I'll try.

I really will, I'll try.

Our kids are gonna know

who their grandfather is.

Okay.

I'll try.

I really will, I'll try.

Are you gonna be on

that camera all night or...

Why?

Because it's either going

to be me or the camera.

Yeah, is

that a trick question?

This is stupid.

We look like a

bunch of jackasses

standing in front

of this building.

Looks like

a full human bladder

exploded all over the wall.

It looks like the bathroom

when you don't clean it, honey.

Cute!

Are you

sure about this?

It's probably all made

up bullshit anyways.

Hey honey,

after we get married,

do you think maybe we could

move into a house like this one?

Oh, that's lovely,

look at those windows.

Oh man, this is perfect.

We don't even have to, yeah,

it doesn't even need any

touching up or anything.

This is ready, babe, right?

Hey, you can raise

your five kids here.

They each get a

floor, look at that.

Hey, you can raise your

five kids here, honey.

Isn't this nice?

They can come out here

and pee on the wall too,

add a little art to the wall,

you know, potty train them.

Yeah, it'd be fun.

Stairs, stairs, stairs,

we got stairs, babe.

Alright, just hop over

there, climb up the stairs.

Come on, babe, babe, babe,

hop over the fence and

climb up the stairs.

Come on, hop over the

fence, climb up the stairs.

We're leaving.

Leaving,

we just got here.

Well I'm not

waiting forever and I wanna go.

You wanted

to drive back home.

You said it wouldn't

rain, it did.

Who said it wouldn't rain?

It wasn't that bad.

Yeah, right.

But it is

pretty though, right?

No, it's not pretty.

It's fucking raining

it's fucking ugly.

Who are you, Robert Smith?

The pictures of

the raindrops are beautiful.

Fucking girls.

Oh, now you like to take the,

oh yeah, now you

like the camera,

oh, now we're taking pictures,

oh, now that it's

raining outside.

It's so beautiful.

We stopped because

you wanted to take pictures.

Having fun getting

your pictures?

Yes.

Very nice,

very nice, honey.

Very Texas Chainsaw.

Maybe you can post that one on

your Instagram or something.

You would.

There's so much junk everywhere.

Are we gonna do

something that I want to do yet?

Well, yeah, and?

Yeah, I get shit

'cause I wanna stop somewhere,

but oh, Ashley wants to stop.

Oh yeah, of course.

There's a pizza parlor down

the street around the corner.

So I'm going to

eat, you have fun.

Eat,

where are you going?

Bye.

This place

is gonna be gone soon,

all right, come on!

Fuck, god damn it.

It's right there.

Right there, I can see it.

That's the fucking way in.

We just gotta just

crawl the fuck under,

go up that ladder, that

that's the way in right there.

Shit, fuck.

Ah, shit, fuck, fuck, shit.

Hey, can you order me something?

Hey, did you get inside or?

No, I did not find a

way inside the building.

Can you order me

something, please?

Yeah, I'm fine.

If you could please

order me something,

I'm actually really

hungry, please.

Yeah, that's fine, you know me,

- pepperoni, mushroom...

- What are you doing?

Holy fucking

shit, what the fuck, man?

What's your problem, man?

Yeah, I know that.

So what do you do?

None of your

fucking business, man.

Yeah and stop following me.

Fucking asshole.

There's no coming out again.

I know the way inside!

Yeah, I'm listening.

- 50!

- What?

- $50.

- $50?

I know a way in.

Okay, that's great.

Look, all I have is a 20, okay?

I don't have a 50,

so if you know a way.

Sold!

Oh, so

we're going now?

Look Ashley, Ashley,

I got a way inside.

Someone's gonna help

me inside the building.

I know you ordered the

food, just hold onto it.

I found a way

inside the building.

No, you can stay there and eat

but I'm going

inside the building.

You coming?

No, no, I'm not.

No, I'm not.

You eat the food, I

know you got it for me.

I'll eat it later, all right?

There's a guy right now

who's gonna take me in, okay?

What do you know

about this place?

Just a

guy named Ed Crow

used to work in this hospital,

killed a bunch of people.

And that people, he had some,

I dunno, he had some

sort of a cult thing.

I just heard about

it on the radio.

And you still want

to go down in there?

It's all just

made up bullshit, dude.

There's no such

thing as Ed Crow.

Okay, maybe someone got

hurt a long time ago,

but it's bullshit.

What is this, man?

I paid you, dude.

You're just gonna stand there

or you gonna show me in?

This is as far as I go.

Everything you want

is through that door.

I already tried

that door already, man,

and the other one and

they're all fucking locked.

Is there even?

Hey man, what, this isn't cool.

What the hell?

Where the fuck did he go?

Fucking asshole took my money.

The door is locked.

Where are you?

Honey, down here.

Tommy, I

can barely see shit.

Keep walking

down, keep going.

Tommy, I do

not wanna be in here.

Keep

walking down, come on.

Further, all the way down here.

It's bullshit, man,

there's nothing in here.

There's nothing in here.

Look, I know you

don't want to be here.

I'm just going to go

through really, really fast,

I promise, and

then we're leaving.

All right, I know you

don't want to be here.

It's a once in a lifetime

thing, all right?

Please just let me do this.

Five minutes, five minutes,

five minutes, tops.

I promise five minutes.

Tommy, I don't like this.

Just come with me.

Someone is going

to notice a metal bar

on the ground up there.

Just come with me.

In 10 minutes, I'm leaving.

Babe, are

you gonna come or what?

Ash!

- Nope.

- Ash!

I'm staying right here.

Ash, are you coming?

What the fuck!

Hey asshole, get your

fucking hands off her, man!

Stop, stop, hey!

Get the fuck away from her, man,

Get the fuck away from her!

Hey, what the fuck

Hey, hey, hey!

Ashley, where are you?

Ashley, what the fuck is that?

What the fuck is that?

What the fuck is this?

Happy.

Happy?

Jesus fucking

Christ, are you okay?

Hey man, are you okay?

Are you okay over there?

Hey, oh fuck, God!

Jesus fucking Christ!

Why are you doing this to us?

Please, don't hurt me.

Fuck, no!

I guess this wasn't such

a good idea after all.

Everything started here for me.

My first kill,

I was pretty close to your age.

My hair was a little

longer than yours though.

For a long time,

I always thought

this place would be my tomb.

Every time I tried get out,

something kept calling me back.

Tommy, Tommy, you still with me?

And they think they're

gonna tear this place down?

I'd like to see them try!

Because whatever soul sets

foot inside this place

will be trapped inside

forever with us.

Leave me alone!

Let me out!

Let me out!

Ashley.

Ashley.

Go right up.

Go right up.

Be one of my children.

Be one of my children.

Tommy is with us.

I wanna go home!

Yes he is.

I wanna go home!

Why are you fighting me?

Let me out of here!

It can all be over.

Let me out of here!

Join us.

Please, please,

just let me out of here.

Please, I just want

to go home, please.

Ashley, Ashley, it's okay.

I feel a lot better now.

They're really out here.

They really are.

Just say yes and

you'll be with me.

It's me, Ashley, Tommy.

Are you gonna

help me pack or what?

No, I'm

taking a shower.

Get over here,

come and help me pack.

Soda and jalapeno chips.

Babe, I really don't

wanna go back inside.

Please babe?

You're really gonna

make me go back in there?

For your fucking jalapeno chips?

My favorite.
