Redwood Massacre: Annihilation (2020) - full transcript

No, please,
please, no, no, no!

Honey, I'm home.

Where are you?

There you are.

You had me worried for a moment.

I'm afraid it's not
good news for you.

In fact, it hasn't been a
good week for you, Pamela.

Has it?

Hmm.

What am I to do with you?

Just isn't working out, is it?



It's a shame when you
started off so well.

We really thought we were
going to be a good team.

Now, of course I blame myself.

I'm too compassionate, too kind.

Maybe more of an aggressive
approach is what is needed.

Maybe I've been going about
this the wrong way, huh?

I'm starting to believe
that I might've been

too easy on you.

oh, Pammy, Pamela,
Pamela, oh come on.

Oh, oh.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're a mess.

Maybe we should start over.



What do you say, huh?

Fresh start.

You know, I really
admire what he's done.

I really do.

It's quite a beautiful thing

if you think about it.

I have to admit, I'm jealous.

There, I've said it.

I really just have
to meet him sometime.

Now, why don't we try
this again, Pamela.

Now, we both know
what's gonna happen

if you can't be honest with me.

You know, this partnership,
isn't gonna work

if you're gonna hold back.

46 square miles of
land is a lot to cover.

So you gotta be a little
bit more specific this time.

Hey, hey.

If I wouldn't know any better,

I would say you're
just stalling for time.

So, I've got this
all wrong, have I?

If I knew where he was,

I would've told you.

Huh?

If I
knew where he was-

I'm so sorry, I apologize.

My, my manners.

There you go.

Okay, take your time.

Shhh.

Remember why you're here.

Yeah?

What did I tell
you about begging?

Sorry.

Now where's the house he
took you and your friends to?

I've already told
you everything.

Pamela, this isn't fair.

This is supposed to
be a fresh start.

It's
not far from where

you found his mask, I promise.

So you keep saying,

and yet here we are, again.

I can't tell you
how disappointed I am.

You feel this?

You're dying, Pamela.

I don't know how much
more of this you can take.

Please.

Please.

I'm telling you the truth.

I know you, but
it's just so much fun.

Good morning.

And thank you all for coming.

My name, as I'm sure you're
all aware, is Tom Dempsey.

So 10 years ago, my daughter,

Sarah went on a camping
trip with her friends

and she never came home.

This book documents my
investigation into the murders

and the years that I
spent searching for her.

Over 76 people have gone missing

in this area in
less than 30 years

and for a town with a
population of some 6,000,

that's a pretty
terrifying statistic.

Only one person survived
to tell the story.

So is she telling the truth
or was she responsible for the

disappearance of her friends?

We've all heard the Redwood
Massacre horror story.

So how come the local authorities
refuse to investigate?

What is it they're
not telling us?

What is it they're hiding?

Interesting fact number three
and probably the most salient

point of this subject,

none of these missing
persons have ever turned up.

No bodies, no explanations,
no answers, nothing.

I'm a big fan of your work.

I'm very glad to hear it.

Who should I make it out to?

If you could make
out to Max, please.

Thanks.

I caught your last lecture.

I found it most interesting.

Most people do.

It's just a pity the
people who matter

tend to ignore my findings.

I'm not like most people.

Well, Max, like
the saying goes,

the only thing necessary
for the triumph of evil

is for good men to do nothing.

1920, Edmund Burke.

Pretty appropriate, right?

Yeah, it's a
rather amusing quote.

Well, there you go.

I have something
I want you to see.

Well, to be honest, Max,

I'm a little pushed
for time right now,

so maybe you could catch
me at my next signing.

Judging by your
last a turnout,

I don't think that's possible.

I'll take my chances now.

Well, I'm afraid you're
going to be disappointed.

I know you want to find
them as much as I do.

Okay, Max.

what is it that you have
for me that's so important?

Redemption, vindication,

and the ending to your
next bestselling book.

And how are you
going to achieve that?

Well, by finding the
man who's responsible

for these terrible murders.

I mean, look at it this way.

Tom Dempsey, the man
who proved the existence

of the infamous Redwood killer.

We know what the local community
thinks about your theories.

You're a joke to them.

I can change all that.

So is this gonna take long?

I'm supposed to be meeting
friends for dinner, so...

Not long.

I guarantee you won't
be disappointed.

Come on

Max.

Max.

I'm in here.

So, who's the
couple in the photos?

It's my sister's house.

She's visiting friends
with her husband.

I'm taking care of the place.

Huh.

Interesting house.

It's quiet.

Just the way I like it.

So Max, is this
gonna take much longer?

I really do have to get back.

Jesus!

Christ, you scared
the shit out of me.

What is this?

Some kind of joke?

Is that what I think it is?

I thought you'd never ask.

She's impressive.

She should be.

She's my daughter.

Okay, so just let me
do all the talking.

Okay?

We really don't want
to piss her off.

Laura, we need to talk.

There's something
I need to show you.

Not interested.

Look, I just need five
minutes of your time.

Will you at least hear me out?

Please?

Now what?

Stay here.

Please?

Now can we talk?

And I thought I was obsessed.

Where did
he say he found it?

Oh, here near the old
abandoned junk yard.

We searched that
area multiple times.

If it was there, we
would have found it.

Well, you obviously
didn't look hard enough.

Why is he even here?

Because he found the mask.

Maybe he can help
us find the killer.

It's that simple, is it?

Some asshole that
you don't even know

shows up with this piece of shit

and you automatically
think that it's real?

Have you lost your fucking mind?

Oh, it's real.

Oh, and you
just found it lying about.

How convenient.

It matches the description.

So what, what
difference does it make?

Sarah's dead.

Dad, I'm sorry, but
it's time to move on.

Well, I can't.

Okay?

I'm surprised that you can.

You know what?

That's not fair.

Your right.

I'm sorry, I shouldn't
have said that.

It's just we've come so far.

We've covered so much ground
over the years and we're close.

I can feel it.

The mask was found here.

Not only corroborates
what Pamela said happened

to her and her friends,

but it also means we're
dealing with a real person,

a serial killer.

Okay, let's just,

let's just say for
argument's sake

that I believe all
of this bullshit.

Do you think he's just going
to be sitting there waiting for

us to find him?

I mean, whoever did this
as long gone by now.

What if he's not?

Hmmm?

Don't you think we owe it to
your sister to at least try.

I have to agree
with your dad on that.

You know, if I
wanted your opinion,

I would have asked for it.

Just keep out of this.

What if they've just all been
looking in the wrong places?

What if,

what if this thing
was just branching out

from one specific location?

Something that we missed.

This is ridiculous.

You're not going back out there.

What's the one place

that we've never been
allowed to search?

Oh, no.

Not gonna happen.

It's the only thing
that makes any sense.

What's he talking about?

He's talking about an
old abandoned RAF base

at the far end of the forest

that our hero here got himself
locked up for two weeks

the last time that he pulled
this stunt on trespass charges.

Let me try again.

It's a two day trek.

You'll never make it.

Not alone he won't.

Oh no.

Don't even think about it.

No way.

He found that with the mask.

I can assure you,
it's quite real.

What more proof do you need?

I'm not going back out there.

I'm sorry.

I just need you to
trust me one more time.

Regardless of whether you
believe he exists or not,

because I can't do
this without you.

Max, it's Tom.

Good news, she's in.

Meet us at the Redwood
trail, tomorrow six a.m.

Max, make sure
you come prepared.

Looks like I'm
going to have to leave you.

Can't thank you and your
wife enough for your

first-class hospitality.

Truly has been a pleasure.

Hey, look at me.

I said look at me.

I'm doing this to honor her.

So I took the Liberty
of repacking your bag.

Are you sure you've
done this before?

Can't say that I was impressed.

You went through my stuff?

Like I said,

I don't know you and I
certainly don't trust you,

but on this trip you listen
to me because I'm in charge.

Whatever you say.

Great.

Are you looking for this?

Like I said, I don't trust you.

It's for protection.

Don't worry.

We've got that covered.

So you all set?

What did she mean by that?

You really didn't
think we'd come out here

alone, did you?

Don't worry, Max.

You're gonna love him.

We lost already.

Problem?

No, no problem.

Just a shortcut.

I suggest you change
your footwear.

Why?

How you doing, Max?

Did tell you to come prepared.

Well, if I would've known
we'd be crossing streams.

I would've brought something.

Ah, come on, a
little cold water

is not gonna hurt a
tough guy, like you.

Ha ha ha.

Should've been here by now.

Hey.

I see you took the scenic route.

You know me.

Just trying to keep
it interesting.

Probably
took a shortcut.

Hey, don't blame me.

She's the boss.

I just do as I'm told.

I see you're still
fucking with the new guys.

Good to see you.

Jen it's been too long.

Thank you so much
for doing this.

You know me, Tom,

I'll never stop looking.

Besides sounds like this trip

is gonna be a little different.

We hope so.

So that's the mysterious Max.

You never told me
how hot he was.

Hi, I'm Jennifer.

Welcome to the team.

You guys do know that even if
we don't find anything else,

that mask is enough to get
the police involved again.

I promise you we'll go
straight to the police

as soon as we get back.

Can I see it?

So it fits the
description perfectly.

I mean, we're pretty
certain, it's the real deal.

Or so my father believes so.

I'm not so certain.

Jesus, this is fucked up.

What is it?

Stay here.

Almost had you, Laura.

You're getting sloppy, girl.

You're getting loud.

Oh, I think you
broke my fucking nose.

Good.

Better than your fucking neck.

You little Badger.

Get over here and
give big Gus a hug.

Back together again,
just like old times.

That's what I'm afraid of.

You know, I'm not as
stealthy as I used to be.

Yeah, I can smell that bad
cologne like a mile away.

Look who I found
loitering in the forest.

There he is.

Late as always.

Hey, if I started
turning up early,

you'd get suspicious.

Who the hell is this guy?

That's our protection.

Jennie, baby.

You are a sight for
sore eyes, girl.

You got that right.

You feel good?

You been working out?

I have, thank you.

And I know what you're thinking.

Don't, ain't gonna happen.

I understand, I understand.

You're afraid you're gonna
fall in love with me.

It's understandable.

Tom, how you doing, man?

I like the hair.

It's good to see you, Gus.

Hey, where's the
rest of the group?

We're all that's left.

You know, it kind of feels
like no one cares anymore.

Well, shit, man.

I'm glad I brought a few
of my good friends with me

to even out the odds.

Shit.

Please
tell me you didn't.

You better believe it, baby.

Big Bubba wasn't staying
home for this party.

Jesus Christ, Gus.

You are one crazy
son of a bitch.

You get caught with that
thing, you are on your own.

He's the one that
said come prepared.

It's getting a
little out of hand.

It's Gus.

What do you expect?

You must be Max.

I don't know, Tom.

Looks a little
shady if you ask me.

It's funny.

Tom never mentioned you at all.

Play nice, Gus.

He's one of the team.

Are you, pretty boy?

Are you one of the team?

Oooh, got a tough guy here, huh?

You trust him, Tom?

He is the reason
we're all here

I said do you trust him?

Yeah.

I trust him.

Well then it's all
right by me, huh?

Make no mistake
about it, pretty boy.

I'm gonna be watching you.

All right, enough
of the macho bullshit.

Come on.

We gotta get going.

Just fucking with him.

Jeez, when did you
get so serious?

You're such an asshole.

Hey, I've got something
even bigger than this

if you're interested.

Yeah, right.

Come on, talk to me.

Gus.

Let me show you my etchings.

Man.

You're so disgusting, Gus.

Party time.

Gus, glad to
see your tradition

of not bringing a tent
is still going strong.

Bag of guns, box of condoms.

All I need for this trip.

And before you ask, yes,
I plan on using them.

Remind me again why we
keep inviting this guy?

We'll camp here for the night.

Let's try and get some rest.

We leave at sunrise.

Why does it always
have to be so early?

You okay?

Sure.

We just need to make up
for lost time tomorrow.

We should hit the base by midday
if we can pick up the pace.

Where's Gus?

I don't know.

He was right here a second ago.

Campers.

Don't worry about
the Durham ravine.

I've never seen 'em
in this far before.

Seems like we're
not the only ones

who want to meet the boogeyman.

Interesting choice for a gun.

She may be old,

but Mary Lee, she
goes everywhere I go.

It's sort of a tradition now.

Mary Lee.

Yeah, she's cold.

She's precise.

You get in her way, she'll
blow your fucking head off.

I named her after my ex-wife.

But don't you worry.

I got ma and pa for
backup just in case.

On that note,
I'm going to bed.

You keep the bed warm.

I'll be in in a minute.

I love a woman who
plays hard to get.

Makes me horny.

So what's your story.

Read your dad's book

and found the story intriguing.

Just, you know.

Cut the bullshit.

My dad may have
bought your crap,

but I don't buy it for a second.

Why are you really here, Max.

My brother went
missing out here.

Went into this forest

about two years ago
and never came back.

I heard about this group of
family members that never gave

up the search.

Read your dad's book,
made the connection.

Thought I oughta help.

Here I am.

I'm just like you.

Just want answers.

Why didn't you say anything?

You never asked.

You sure you know what
you're getting yourself

involved with?

Are you?

Sleep tight.

I thought this was supposed
to be a military base.

She's right, Tom.

We must have made a
wrong turn back there.

What do you think?

I'm thinking this
shouldn't be here.

We still have four miles to go.

Max, don't.

This is it.

Stay here.

I'll check it out.

There's nobody here.

This place is empty.

He's right.

This place has been
abandoned for years.

It doesn't make any sense.

This can't be the base.

It's not.

Then where the hell is it?

We're standing on it?

Whoo!

Jackpot, baby.

What the
hell am I looking at?

It's the way in.

Way into what?

Base is underground.

This shit just got real.

Somebody left the
back door open.

She'll be fine.

She's not the one
I'm worried about.

Laura, everything okay?

I'm fine.

Just stay up there.

Hey, guys!

Hey, I'm locked in here.

Oh, shit.

Boogey boogey.

Jesus Christ, Gus.

You scared the shit out of me.

No way you're gonna
have all the fun

down here by yourself, baby?

I'm coming with you.

No, no, no.

It automatically locks.

That was close.

What the hell is this place?

I don't know,

but I heard something
from down there.

Just hearing things.

This is a bad idea.

We should just go.

I'm not coming
all the way out here

and leaving empty handed.

Goddamn it, Gus.

I thought you said
this place was abandoned.

It is.

Then how come
the lights are on?

Good question.

I knew I should've
brought Big Bubba.

What do you think?

I think we should go back
and get the others first.

Come on, I got this.

Ladies first.

What the hell is this?

What the hell?

You gotta come see this.

That's a human eyeball.

What is this?

That's a human dick.

I think it's time to go.

It might be the others.

What if it's not?

Stay here.

It's okay, it's all clear.

Just an old door.

You think that's what
you heard last time?

I don't know.

I think so.

I hope so.

All right, we've
got something here.

What the hell is this?

What the fuck is all this?

There's blood on this.

I've seen this guy.

He's been missing for years.

Whoa man.

Check out the background.

What do you think?

You got ma and pa?

Yeah.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa.

It's us.

I thought I told
you to stay outside.

We can't find Max.

What do you mean
you can't find him?

He followed you down.

We couldn't stop him.

Laura, he was
acting really strange.

What is all this?

You were right, Tom.

You were right about everything.

Protection.

What the hell am I
going to do with this?

Have you lost your mind?

You're right.

What was I thinking?

You happy?

Just point and shoot.

You understand?

What the hell's going on?

You just stay close to me.

You'll be fine, I promise you.

Wait.

What was it that you guys
saw in the other room?

You don't want to know?

Why would Max do that?

If it wasn't him,

somebody else closed that door.

We have to keep
moving forward.

There's gotta be another exit.

You've seen what's back there.

I don't think
we have a choice.

I have something for you.

A gift.

Now you can be complete again.

I'm looking forward to
meeting you in person.

No, no, please, please.

No, no, please.

Please don't.

No, please.

No.

No, please.

No, please, no!

Shit.

This is no military bunker.

This is some kind of
underground prison.

Yeah, but for who?

Jesus.

This place is huge.

What are you thinking, Laura?

I'm thinking we need to make
sure we're alone before we go

any further.

What the fuck?

Holy shit.

Why would they build
this underground?

Who knows?

Whatever they were doing here,

they didn't want anyone to know.

My thoughts exactly.

Where are you?

All right, we got something.

We got something.

We something going on.

All right.

It's a fucking
graveyard up here.

This isn't a prison.

We got
bodies everywhere.

You're not gonna believe
what I found in this folder.

What the fuck is that?

These guys didn't
stand a chance.

Fuck.

What a way to go.

That's him.

Isn't it?

Well?

I don't understand it.

What am I even looking?

It looks like they were
experimenting on these things.

What the fuck is that?

This whole place
is it's some kind of

experimental hospital.

What are you saying?

I'm saying, I think we
may have found our killers.

Government's been doing
shit like this for years.

They all have
military IDs too.

Look, read it.

It's all in the documents.

What about all these bodies?

What happened to
all the patients?

You okay.

What do you think?

I know this is messed up, but

we're gonna get out of this.

I promise you.

No one knows we're
down here, Gus.

Hey, I'll shoot my way
out of here if I have to.

You know me,

Gus, I need your help.

Just give me a second.

Sit tight, get
your shit together.

I'm gonna get us out.

Jennifer.

Jennifer.

Max?

Max?

Jennifer.

Max?

All right, go
ahead and try it.

Most of the breakers are shot.

If this place goes
dark, we're in trouble.

Backup power is the
best we're gonna do.

Hey, we need to find a
communication's room.

There's gotta be a hard
line to the outside world.

How much longer before
we lose light completely?

It's hard to tell.

That hunk of junk up
there's a diesel engine.

Somebody been keeping it going.

Hey!

Okay, that's messed up.

She couldn't have gone far.

Forget about her.

We got her own problems.

She might know the way out.

Yeah.

She also might be responsible

for that guy hanging
on that chain.

Fuck her and fuck Max.

Max, what the
fuck is going on?

Max, what the fuck
are you doing to me?

Jenny, Jenny, Jenny.

Fuck.

You should feel honored.

I wanted you to be the first.

What the fuck are
you talking about?

I wonder what he'll do to you.

So many wonderful possibilities.

No, please.

Please, please.

I'm not the one you
have to worry about.

Don't worry.

I'll be watching.

No, Max, please.

Please help me.

Max, please, come back.

Please.

Please, come back.

Don't leave me here, please.

Max, come back.

Please help me.

Please, I won't say anything.

I promise.

Oh, no.

Oh God.

No, God.

What's your name?

Donna.

Donna Ingram.

Donna, I'm Laura.

And this is Gus.

Please, you gotta get
me out of this place.

Okay, you're safe now.

Just take a deep breath.

Just try and relax.

How'd you find this place?

We were just camping.

He killed my husband.

Who did?

You really have
no idea, do you?

You're going to die down here.

What do you think?

You believe that bullshit?

I don't know, I don't know
what to believe anymore.

We can't trust
that crazy lady.

She's lying.

Maybe she's just scared.

You tell me.

Who's camping with
high heels on?

Oh shit.

Why would she lie?

There's always
one way to find out.

I knew we should've
brought more guns.

Max.

Where the hell have you been?

You seen the others?

You okay.

Max, talk to me.

Max.

Laura?

Come on, Gus, you big

beautiful crazy fuck,

what have you got for me?

Fuck.

Jen.

Fuck.

Get it together,
Tom, get it together.

You sure you can get
that thing to work?

It might take a while.

This thing's old.

I should be able to get
this thing up and running

if the power holds.

I'm gonna go back
and get the others.

Okay?

Dad?

Please be advised,

unauthorized use
of this terminal

is a federal offense.

Please be advised.

Hello.

Is there...

Fuck.

Shit.

Fuck!

I want you to see something.

I booked the best seats
in the house just for you.

This is gonna be glorious.

Incredible, isn't he?

Stay with me.

It's an inspiring
choice of weapon.

You oughta be taking notes.

Come on.

Keep watching, keep watching.

Don't want to miss a thing.

That's all the details.

Wow.

What a beautiful death.

You ought to be proud of that.

So what now, you sick fuck?

Honestly, I
haven't decided yet.

Why should he have
all the fun, right?

I mean, after all, I have
still have your moron

of a friend to offer to him.

I'm gonna enjoy
watching that fool die.

Mind you?

Not as much as watching
Jennifer being gutted

like the pig she was.

Ah, you didn't know
about that, did you?

Whoops.

Spoiler alert.

She kept begging
me to let her go.

Quite pathetic.

That slut got what she deserved.

Your dad, on the other hand,

I felt bad for him.

Imagine having a daughter
that doesn't believe you.

It's quite pathetic.

Fuck you.

You caused him much more
pain than I ever could.

Guess we're not that
different after all.

Ah, ah.

Careful, Laura.

I don't want to shoot
you, but I will.

I just feel like your death

should be a little
bit more memorable.

I mean a bullet,

that's freaking impersonally.

I really want you to enjoy it.

Now, an ax.

I think that would be
great for both of us.

Think I'm gonna
start with your legs.

You won't need
them anyway, right?

I feel sorry for you, Max.

I didn't know you cared.

I mean, by all means.

Let me know why, I'm all ears.

I've been on to you
from the very beginning.

You almost had me
with that bullshit

story about your
missing brother.

You didn't think that I actually
believe that crap, did you?

You don't know me.

What I'm capable of.

But you will.

You're just another
fucking fanboy wannabe

with mommy and daddy issues.

You're a joke.

You know, I think
I changed my mind.

This gun will just do fine.

I'm glad I amuse you.

It's funny.

What's so funny?

That you think that
gun's actually loaded.

Take care. Max.

Remember, try and enjoy it.

It's all in the details.

What a mess.

I can't tell you how
disappointed I am.

You showed such promise.

Who are you?

Now, Max.

I've been following
your career for years.

Even thought about
you for the program.

Bit you just haven't quite

met my expectations
and you know,

your time is up.

What a waste?

He's all yours.

Beautiful.

Laura?

Shit.

Gus?

Hello?

Hello?

Can anybody hear me?

This is a secure line.

How did you access
this terminal?

'Cause I'm trapped in your
fucking underground prison.

Pleas, we need help.

My friends are dying down here.

That would
be the property

of the US Defense Department.

Trespassing is a
criminal offense.

Fuck your trespass.

If you want to arrest me,

come down here and
fucking get me.

Please stand by.

Miss, what is your name?

My name is Laura Dempsey.

Laura, I want you to
listen to me very carefully.

I want you in any
of your colleagues

to exit the building
immediately.

Do you understand?

We are locked in here.

Do you not speak
fucking English?

We need help please.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Hello?

Shit.

Hello?

Oh shit.

Who are you?

Jen?

Jen?

Kill me, kill me!

I'm standing here.

I'm here, standing.

Show yourself, motherfucker!

You fucking piece of pigshit.

I got nothing left.

I'm hunting you, motherfucker.

Big Bubba wants to say hi.

Where the hell are you?

Laura.

Gus!

Fuck.

You wanna get close and make
this personal, motherfucker?

You wanna go man on man?

Or man against whatever
the fuck you are.

Bring it.

Stay right there.

Hey!

Try coming back from
that, motherfucker.

You know, you're
one crazy bitch.

I had the whole
thing under control.

Had him right
where I wanted him.

So now what?

Now we go home.

Laura Dempsey?

I'm the one you spoke to.

Where are the others?

They're dead.

They're all dead.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'm sure.

What a mess.

Secure the asset and get
this place cleaned down.

We're moving the entire
program to the Nevada compound.

Hear that, baby,
we're going to Vegas.

Mama needs a new pair of shoes.
