Murder Manual (2020) - full transcript

There,

you're free to go.

Not without you.

I'll be waiting for you.

If I'm not there for
the show tonight, they'll know.

And they'll come after us.

Now,

you wait until the exact time,

then come.

You remember the place?

You won't
be missed until morning.



It's a head start.

And it's a big world out there.

They'll never find us.

STEP 1: PICK YOUR VICTIM

STEP 2: STALK YOUR VICTIM

Hey.

Hey.

How was your day?

STEP 3: JUDGE YOUR VICTIM

We, the daughters of virtue,

gather once more
to praise our heavenly father.

But not before
we dig into Janet's delicious

oatmeal raisin cookies.

Well, I confess,



I am just here for the food.

After the day I've had.

I ran into Gurdy again.

Can you believe
the solo she did?

It was like she was
channeling Madonna,

at Priest Noll.

She was a daughter once.

Gurdy?

We weren't her cup of tea.

Well,
she's more of a soda pop person.

Oh, that's her loss.

This is rotten.

I... beg your pardon?

Alice,
you should be more careful

what you serve to your guests,

we could have get sick.

I pray you're more attentive
to what you feed your family.

Daughters, join hands.

We thank you Lord,

for everyone gathered here.

That you know
each of us by name.

And you've called
us to walk with you.

We give praise.

Thank you Lord,

for my husband's raise at work,

and Sam's good marks at school.

Thank you Father,
for giving my family strength.

It's been a difficult year with
the loss of our precious Megan.

Watch over her.

Thank you Father.

You're an awesome God, I...

Ronda? Honey, what is it?

It's Luther.

I think he's having an affair.

Are you sure?

I know it.
He doesn't kiss me anymore.

He doesn't touch me.

Sometimes I can
smell her on his shirt.

- Are you okay?
- Oh, it's nothing. I'm just

clumsy at times.

We're very sorry Ronda.

Our ever-loving
and righteous Lord,

give Ronda strength

to withstand the devil's
assault on her marriage.

Do not lead the good askew.

But punish those
who stray wrongfully,

until they cry out in disgrace.

Come here, sweet child.

Cory.

Baby.

What is this?

Where's my baby?

Have a seat, Alice.

Where's Cora?

Please sit.

Cora is safe.

You needn't worry.

I don't understand.

What's going on?

This is hard to say, Alice, but

we're worried about you.

You've been
acting different lately.

Hold up here,
alone with the kids.

While Walter's away
on some business trip?

I see a woman
who's separated from him.

Do you even
confess your sins anymore?

I do.

I don't believe you.

No-one here does.

Why don't you
confess now, Alice?

That's a good idea.

We fear the consequence
of unconfessed sin.

Will you bring
Cora to me if I do?

Please.

Of course.

I confess to you, Lord.

I neglect my husband.

I resent the times
he leaves me here alone.

I carry anger in my heart.

Every day I'm left
alone with these kids.

To care for them on my own.

And I never wanted them.

I'm a terrible mother.

I just wanted to please Walter.

And be a good wife.

I gave up everything.

But they're all I have now.

Alice

what are you hiding?

I hide... nothing.

Bring me my child.

I found that in Luther's pocket.

Walter gave it to you last year.
You were so proud.

What do you have
to say for yourself?

I didn't mean to.

You didn't mean to?

The prayer of repentance.

Read it.

"Have mercy on me, God."

In your abundant compassion.

Blot out my offense.

Wash away all my guilt.

From my sin, cleanse me.

For I know my offense.

My sin is always before me.

"I have done evil in your sight."

It fell out of my hand.

We must pray for her.

In the name of Jesus,

we pray that Alice,
comes to know the truth,

and be saved from destruction.

We call upon you,

please deliver Alice.

In the name of Jesus,

she shall honor and glorify you.

Deliver Alice from the pit
and corruption of her sin.

Free her from the
snare of the enemy.

Get out... demon.

What?

I see you.

It's monstrous
eyes stare back at me.

I tell you all,

she is possessed.

You're speaking nonsense, Betty.

Daughters,

take strength from the Lord

and the power of His might.

Hold her still.

- Do it!
- Betty, please don't!

Please!

In Jesus' name.

Come forth and face God.

Please don't do this to me.

I can see it's tongue,
slithering when you speak.

We must save you, Alice.

Sorry, Alice.

Yes, Lord.

We will strike it.

We will strike it in your name.

Ronda,

your belt.

Evil must reveal itself
in order to face God's might.

And to do so,

it must be threatened.

Do it, Ronda.

God commands you.

In His name.

Do it!

I can't.

Thank you.

I said out!

Demon.

Please.

Stop.

Repent!

I'm sorry,

for corrupting my marriage.

For taking Ronda's husband.

You ruined my life, Alice.

Luther and I

we've been
together since junior-high.

Why are you trying
to take him from me?

Why?

You think you're
prettier than I am?

He used you but came home to me.

And that bad feeling
in the pit of your stomach?

Those are the devil's
eating away all the good in you.

There's a cost
for what you've done.

But you weren't even good.

What, Alice?

Because I could.

I needed
something to pass the time.

Stop it!

Have you all lost your minds?

You betrayed
God with your actions.

I cannot believe that
I let you talk me into this.

It was not
supposed to go this far.

You all need to get out of here.

Get Cora, I will handle them.

Cora?

I'm calling the police.

STEP 4: CHOOSE YOUR LOCATION

I can't believe
this hurts so much.

I miss her so much.

Let's play a game.

Oh yeah, what kind of game?

Well, you'll count to ten,

and I'll hide,

and if you can find me,

I'll let you do
whatever you want.

I'm not playing
this stupid game.

Once you've earned,
you have got to wait.

I'll bury you, I swear to God.

You're ridiculous.

You like the way that feels?

- You're good.
- Yeah?

Hey, don't do it too tight.

- That's good.
- Yeah?

Yeah.

One

two

go.

One...

Two

three

four

four and a half...

Sherri?

Sherri?

I know you're
around here somewhere.

Sherri?

Sherri?

Oh, that's good.

You mother-fucker.

What the fuck?

Sherri?

Sherri!

Can I help you?

Hey, Mr. Marks.

Look, have you seen Sherri?

Ah, we were just

playing around
down in the woods and I...

What do you mean?
Is she missing?

Well I um... I found her

phone and sweater
and stuff it's just, it's

it's not like her, to do this.

No, it's not.

What were you kids doing?

Um, just

playing hide and seek.

Oh yeah?

Sophie, why don't you
go grab Jake some water?

I bet he's thirsty from all that

horsing around.

My little angel.

Just like her mom.

I think Sherri is just
upset about tomorrow.

It's the anniversary.

You know how it is.

I'm sorry I haven't seen her.
I'll keep my eye out for sure.

Have you checked by the river?

Yeah

it's actually where
I found her phone.

You don't think we
should call the police?

- No, no, it's okay.
- Well, it's no bother I...

That's fine, I'm

sure she'll turn up.

Well yeah... hopefully.

Thanks, Sophie.

Why don't we get out of here?

It's getting dark.

Thanks again, Tim.

Sorry to bother you.

It's no bother.

Sherri, come on!

Oh, fuck!

[eerie drum roll.

Sherri...

No, Sherri, no.

No.

Howdy, Cowboy.

You know,
I'd really like to help you.

But I think you're trespassing,

and I'd like you to leave.

What did you say?

You don't see the sign?

You don't see the sign?

Help.

Somebody help.

Where is she?

Where is who?

Sophie...

Boo!

Sophie, where's your mom?

Is she okay?

Sophie, listen to me,
where's your mom at?

Mama's not coming anymore today.

She was in a bad, bad
accident. She can't come get us.

What are you talking about?

Wanna play a game?

No, no, Sophie, look at me.

I need help.

Let's play hide and seek!

No Soph! Listen to me.
Please help me!

Count to 50 Jakey.

Sophie!

One, two, three, four,

Boo!

You weren't counting!

Yeah, I was Sophie...
I'm counting.

Pop pop was right about you.

What?

What do you mean?

Mama said
you're going to die today.

Morning sunshine.

What's going on?

You tell me.

Fucking let me go!

Jeez!

Where's Chery?

What did you do to her?

You wanna see her?

You wanna see your sweet Chery?

Hey baby.

Yeah Timothy.

What the fuck is going on?

Look at that devil.

This is your big scene.

I... I don't understand, what?

I'm sorry.

Why... Please

I wanted to get you back.

To get you back...

Mumbling... For mom!

For the car accident!

My beautiful wife would still
be here right now,

if it wasn't for you.

It was an accident!

I ran over a line... no...

You were driving the car,
it's your fault.

I'm tired from the train.

Dad I'm tired from
the goddam train!

No...!

- Cheryl! Cheryl don't!
- No... no...!

Darling, we're gonna be late!

My mom's like waiting for you.

Fine, I'll go.

You're nearly 20 minutes late.

Sure.

- Alright, I'll see you babe.
- W... wai... Wait...

You didn't give me a
kiss... Oh, you want a kiss?

Okay, here hmmm... love you.

- Oh yeah!
- Bye babe.

Wave to me!

Where, oh

Oh where, oh where has he gone?

He's gone away and
he's gone for good.

Oh where, oh where has he gone?

I'm going to send this
video to your mom.

I'm going to say

fucked around on me,

and now he's trying
to buy his way back

into this relationship.

To which I say...

Holy shit!

Half the price of a town
place, it's nice.

Let's snoop!

reconnaissance mission.

He's apologizing.

Yoi.

Someone's knocking at the door.

Hmm?

I heard some one
knocking at the door.

What time is it?

I dunno.

He'll see the lights off,

and then he'll go away.

Let's go check.

Bottles in the back.

Do you have an iPhone charger?

Sorry, I don't.

I'm sorry?

Oh!
It's cool I guess.

- You an actress?
- Yip.

Oh yeah!
What have I seen you in?

Probably nothing!

Not unless you go to
a lot of comedy shows.

Oh, so you're funny!

Sorry.

Tell me a joke?

Um... it's

it doesn't really work that way.

I do mostly improv.

Can't you improv me a joke?

Come on!

Sorry, I can't think
of anything...

Just want to hear a joke!

You'd think I asked for the
fucking world here!

Excuse me?

Ah, no it's okay... I know
you've had a rough night,

partying with
your brown boyfriend.

Okay, this is ridiculous.

Yeah, whatever!

Okay, I'll do a joke.

There were two
muffins in an oven,

and one muffin said to the
other muffin.

Wow, it's really hot in here!

And the other muffin said,

holy shit! A talking muffin!

I don't get it.

You know, cause
muffins can't talk,

but the other muffin was

surprised, but was also talking.

It's... stupid!

Oh yeah, yeah! No, no I get it!

That is funny!

Can you turn the child lock off,

my window won't roll down.

Yeah. No, no... sorry I won't.

Okay, can you turn
the air on then?

It's really hot in here.

We... you, you...
missed the turn,

it was back there.

I know a short cut.

I think that turn
is the fastest way.

Fucking liberal cunt!
Thinks she knows everything.

Okay, pull over!
I want to get out.

Sorry Christine,
can't do that!

This is kidnapping!

You are holding me
against my will!

Let me out of the fucking car!

Fine.

If you have to be
such a bitch about it!

Hey, it's me.

I just had the... creepiest
ride share driver.

He called me a "liberal cunt'!"

I don't know, just
call me back... I'll

come over or something.

I love you. Bye.

She'll find her.

Shut up!

She's pretty.

I like her necklace.

Ah!

Ugh!

We saved you
some pizza, if you're hungry.

Is she gonna live with us too?

No.

She... is going to be
a messenger of the class.

Ah!

Aah!

You're hurting me!

I need you to set the room.

Remember how I like it?

Aah!

Good.

I like your necklace...

Hmm...

Where am I?

We have to get out of here!

Ssh!

He's going to be back soon.

Why are you helping him?

What happened to your arm?

It's cleansing.

He's going to save our people.

You need to leave.

I... I can help you.

Please... you... don't have
to do this.

We must secure
the existence of our people,

and a future for white children.

What?

We must secure
the existence of our people,

and a future for white children.

What the fuck
are you talking about?

It's two against one.

We can take him.

You can have my necklace,
if you help me.

Don't make this harder for me.

Please don't do this!

She's ready.

Good.

Bitch!

Despite your secure existence,

and reproduction of
our race of our people.

The sustenance of our children,

the purity of our blood.

Freedom and independence
of the fatherland.

So that our people may mature,

in order to fulfil the mission,

I'm pointing to it,

by the creator of the universe.

We must secure the existence of
our people

and the future
for white children.

Hey, Christine...
Chris... hey...

- It's okay.
- No... no...

Chris... Chris... it's fine...

- Listen to me!
- You're fine.

You're fine I'm gonna call 911.

There... There are other women!

Okay... Okay... It's
happening to them

we can't let this
happen to them...

It's fine... it's fine.

It's
okay... it's gonna be fine...

Get away! Step back.

Ste...

Well

if you not gonna leave,
then you might as well sit.
