Spreading Darkness (2017) Movie Script

- My lady and gentlemen

look around you.

Behold the great eias.

- There were two

women and two men

once.

- It's nice to

see you again Davis.

How is your new

invention coming along,

the menzie technology?

Davis?

- Uh work yes, work is,

work is what work is.

- In our last session

you said you were planning on

meeting with potential

buyers, have you?

- Yes doc, made a prototype

showed it to distributors

they say it's ground breaking,

change the world, met with

distributors, patent attorney

they all want it.

- Davis be careful

what you say and sign in those

meetings, I want

this to work for you.

You are not only my patient

you are my best friend

and I mean that.

- Yes doctor I know

i appreciate you,

appreciate you so much.

When the invention sells

you get half the money,

I mean when it sells you

get half, you, me, Daniella

all be rich.

One, two, three.

- So what do you think?

- What do I think about merging

your little distro

company with mine?

- Yeah we'd be a power house.

- I think it sucks.

Marci what do you think?

- I think it sucks.

- You hear that?

Marci thinks it sucks and

do you know why it sucks?

Because you don't

own this menzie.

You see right there.

Told me everything

i need to know.

- Yeah I, I didn't say anything.

- Oh you said

plenty, a mouthful.

Just didn't open

your mouth to do it.

- Whoa, who, who are you?

I said who are you?

- Do you like gum balls Antonio?

- Gum balls?

- Yeah gum balls, you know

'em, little round pieces of gum

with a hard shell?

Surely you were a kid once?

These gum balls are special.

They're neon colored,

it's damned hard to

find these things.

I had to buy out

the whole store.

- Gum balls.

What the hell's

she talking about?

Are you crazy?

You're a little crazy right?

- You wanna know what's crazy?

The fucking moon

landing that was crazy.

Well let me ask you something,

you've seen the footage

how did that shit get shot?

How did it get lit?

Was there a film crew

just sitting on the moon

waiting to shoot it?

No we shot it on a god damned

sound stage at Paramount.

- We?

- I was the cinematographer

on that shoot

and the writer, one small

step for man that was me.

What was the other

guy's suggestion?

Honey I'm home.

- What cha hiding?

- Nothing.

- Oh come on, show it to me.

- I don't have anything.

- Show me yours and

I'll show you mine.

Tit for tat.

- Okay this is a little crazy.

- Go ahead Antonio,

show her your tat.

- How do you know my name?

Who are you people?

- I'm Harriet,

Harriet skelp.

- You, you're an assassin?

- Not an assassin

asshole, the assassin.

You'll never find anybody better

I'll tell ya that right now.

- Okay.

And you are?

- Otto jeter,

pleased to meet ya.

- You know Antonio, you

live your life on instinct,

survival instinct so

here's the quandary

what differentiates

you from a wild animal?

A lion who hunts his food

and takes whatever he wants.

I mean that's what

you are isn't it hmm?

No emotions, no thought.

- But you're an assassin.

- Now I like you Antonio.

It doesn't take long to

get a feel for a person

and I can tell you're

a stand up guy.

Am I right?

- As a matter of fact

you get outta this alive

you look me up hmm?

- Why would i--

- you have something

we want Antonio.

We want it now.

- I don't, i--

- how long have

you known me stu?

What do you think I would

have done had somebody said

my idea sucked?

- Well you would've

punched 'em in the face.

- Punch him in the face.

I like that, I like that no.

I'd straighten my tie, I'd

stand up tall and proud

walk the fuck out

knowing full fucking well

that I would take their entire

miserable little company

over and make it mine.

I will inundate them with

document dumps and paper work

so heavy their legal

fees'll rival oj's.

- Wow.

- How many inventors

do you think

can handle that kind of expense?

- Not too many.

- Not a one.

- Or not a one.

- They're all toast because i

have balls you can hear clank

when I walk and they

don't, simple as that.

- Wow.

- You believe that?

- Garvin--

- Marci do you believe that?

- Like it's scripture.

- Inside joke, bitch

doesn't believe in god.

- Oh ho.

- How 'bout you stu?

huevos to do whatever it takes

to get rid of Davis and bring

- The question is how, the

question is to die, how to die,

I could put the answers

in a hat and pull them out

we could make it a game show.

That's a good new invention.

Or I could just not think

and do it.

- Oh my god.

- Yeah markowitz.

- It's not working.

- You what?

- The menzie

prototype was stolen

from our lab months

ago and oh garvin

- You're obsessed you know that?

Going after garvin

the way you did,

like it was a vendetta.

- I won didn't I?

And how many people get to

destroy their former mentor

in business huh?

Garvin talked down to

me, he underestimated me,

he paid the price.

- Yeah your mentor

was a grade a dick.

Eau 'd vodka.

- Hey baby you alright?

- Fine.

seem you know different.

I believe your feelings had

to do with the loss of your

brother Davis.

feelings Elle's too.

- Your friend?

- She hates the

man who ruined me.

She's a bad influence.

- Well

tell me about her.

- She has the brightest red

hair, it'll burn your eyes

and she loves horses.

She once told me

that she's an angel

riding the blood red

horse of armageddon.

- Now let's

talk about this,

this man who ruined your life.

- No don't ask me about him.

Don't fucking ask me

about him, don't do that!

Don't ask me, ask Elle.

- Daniella, the pursuit of

vengeance is understandable.

- Where you headed?

- Just grab a couple drinks.

Phase out business

a bit you know.

- And what are you hopin'

to find at this bar?

- Maybe some friends.

- Friends?

- You know I've been thinkin',

house by myself I think I'm

being stalked.

I hear voices late at night, i

find packages on my doorstep.

I need to talk to someone.

- Hey, hey that's

what we're here for.

Being alone is rarely a solution

and I'm sure you're

not being stalked.

- I guess you're right.

My whole life I've never

been physically alone

but I guess emotionally

I've always been alone.

- Well sometimes in life the

right people come at the right

time what you can't

always do is go it alone.

- Mark is god punishing me?

Thank you.

I don't deserve

friends like you guys.

- I think you deserve

whatever you get.

- Um hey why don't I call

up the guys Brett and Byron

we'll have a little impromptu

dinner party so to speak?

- I like Brett.

- Got some models.

Fans of the band probably

could get 'em to come over.

Come on stu these

girls look so hot

they'll make your teeth sweat.

There we go now we're see?

Now we're talkin'.

Do you hear this guy?

What the hell are

you talkin' about?

- Try puttin' a little more

orange juice in that glass buddy

that's what I would suggest.

- There's no orange juice

in this glass Byron.

- My point exactly.

Listen to this, how 'bout this

i bet you 200 dollars okay?

I bet you I can move one arm

in one circular direction

the other in the

opposite simultaneously.

- No you can't.

- Yes you can.

- That's impossible.

- No it's easy just use two

different sides of your brain

- Yeah what are you laughing at?

- You hear that babe?

Looks like we might be able

to afford that addition

to the house after all.

- Yeah I've heard that before.

- Well maybe he's

serious this time.

Who's sayin' he's not?

- I am.

- Trouble on the old home front?

- Whole kids thing, still.

- You want 'em and she.

- Thinks they have

no decibel level.

- Right.

- And neither do you

two gossip queens.

If you're gonna talk about

somebody behind their back

least can't hear you.

Us women can hear everything.

- Did she just call us queens?

- Yeah I think she did.

You know these queens aren't

talkin' about you behind your

back lita they're talking about

you in front of your back.

Bacey.

- What's, what's, what's,

what's, what's goin' on?

- You simple fuckin' prick.

You think you're so much fuckin'

smarter than everybody else

turns out you're the

dumbest fuck in the room.

- Mark.

Mark we're friends right?

Brett?

Byron?

I thought, I thought I thought-

- you thought what stu?

- I thought

we were friends.

Mark you can't be doin' this.

You, a betrayer?

- Oh that's rich

he called you a betrayer.

- Mark please I thought--

- shut up!

God damn stu shut the fuck up.

You think this is all about me?

Look at these faces each and

every person here has been

affected by you, Byron's

father, me and lita, Brett's

best friend, janna's parents.

You fucked 'em all over.

You and your bullshit company.

- Bullshit

fucking company man.

- You took from 'em stu.

You robbed 'em to get rich

and then you destroyed their

lives, but not only their lives,

the lives of

everyone around them.

I had invested all

my inheritance in the

menzie technology.

I believed in Davis, i

was happy, eager and why?

'Cause you promised Davis's

invention would be distributed

in every nat superstore.

You didn't even have a

contract with them did you?

- I'm sorry.

- And Daniella, well let's

just say she's a bit unstable

on account of you ripping

off her brother's invention.

- Davis menzie.

- He took a long walk off

a short roof and Daniella--

- went batshit

fuckin' crazy stu.

- Formed a split personality,

took on the persona of Elle

looks an awful lot like--

- Ding, ding, ding, ding,

ding we have a winner.

Look am I doing good here?

Alright.

- Frieda Eleanor

undercoffler, Elle.

- I was loved by everyone.

Sweet, sweet.

- So.

Where do we go from here?

- Now we let you go.

- Oh thank you.

- Take this as a lesson that

whatever you do to someone

will come back to you tenfold.

Go on with your life

stu undercoffler

but live it differently.

- Oh thank you mark.

- Well you see mark this is

the part we didn't tell you.

We are going to kill him.

- Wait a minute, there's

no lesson if we kill him.

The deal is we scare

him and that's it.

- That's easy for you to

say, he didn't fuck up your

family's life like he did mine,

at least you have a career.

- No the lesson here we all

have to learn is you don't leave

people with nothing left to

live for except revenge.

- No fuck that.

- Fuck you.

- Fuck you we're not

god damn animals.

- Oh yes we are you went

to high school didn't you?

You studied biology,

there are two families

humans are animals,

plants are well plants.

- Uh plants.

Is he a plant?

- Are you a plant?

- Are you?

- Shall we water

you instead of kill you?

- You see we knew all along,

that you didn't have the balls

to follow through,

you're a dabbler.

That's why you're out.

You have no part anymore.

- Yeah you're done.

- And now it's time

for our game show.

It's called pick how you die.

- It's not funny.

- We have drowning, shooting,

stabbing, strangulation,

oh and bludgeoning so

put your hand in the hat

and pick your own death stu.

Do it.

Do it, do it.

- Get that, you see that?

Commitment you fucking pig.

- Stop!

- We talked about this.

- Fucking son of a bitch.

- I deserve this.

- No, you deserve this.

- This is our chance

to make things right.

- If we do this we'll

be no better than him.

- We are no better than him.

He made us this.

- Daniella was right.

- I am doc?

- Yes, yes you are

Elle.

- Now fuckin' what?

- There.

- Hey, back it up.

This has to end,

it has to end now.

Mark run, go to lita go, go!

- Are you gonna shoot us all?

You wouldn't shoot me

now would you lover?

Dead little frieda, Elle.

I'm very disappointed

in you mark.

- You've all become

what you've become

but I'm not letting you in.

- You've become a fucking ass.

Traitor!

- You used to have a

better swing than that.

Jesus Christ oh no

You think mouth to mouth no?

I didn't think you hit her

that hard Brett but she's dead.

Janna's dead, she's dead Brett.

damage, isn't it?

- Yeah it is, I mean she

walked into it, she did.

- Go, go where?

- Anywhere, anywhere but here.

- That's what we

have to worry about.

- We don't have to

worry about anything.

Nobody knows,

It's his fault if it wasn't.

- You finally made

going to kill him okay?

I swear.

Hi I'm sorry I dialed

911 on accident

I was just driving and--

- you can't

run forever mark.

- Daniella.

- You're a part of this.

- Daniella I need

you to remember okay?

Remember who you are.

Daniella, Daniella menzie.

- I know who I am.

- Do you, do you really?

It was Brett, he

manipulated you,

he manipulated all of us.

Brett never cared about

Davis he used him to get a

percentage of his profits, he

steered you toward what you

became he drove you

to do what you did.

- But he gave me pink socks,

every time I showed up.

Who else would do that for me?

- Daniella.

- All I feel is empty, a void.

I see a void.

- Are you okay?

- He's dead, he's dead

there's nothing left.

- No--

- we need

to take a drive.

- Where the

fuck are we going mark?

- Mickey's get away.

- Mickey?

Our bass player?

- He's got a ranch house,

we'll be safe there.

He said if we ever needed

an escape we could use it.

Don't think he meant

that literally but.

We should be safe there until

we figure out our next step.

- And what?

Start a new life?

- Yeah.

- Okay, but we're gonna have

to stop off someplace first.

I'm gonna need a disguise, how

would you like a blond wife?

I saw a drugstore 10 miles back.

- Okay.

- Mickey's get away

what the hell is this Brett?

- Trust me I'll explain.

- Brett listen man I just

wanna say I've known you a long

time but can you do me a favor

and admit for the first time

ever you don't know

what's goin' on?

- Listen, I haven't

told you two something.

But I've acquired some help

of a professional nature.

I've been keeping

it quiet until now.

But this help gave me this

address and we were to meet here

in case anything went wrong.

- I'm gonna kill

lita in front of mark

so he gets to see

what it feels like.

- You got a point there

actually with that one.

- That's right of course and

we mustn't forget that two

wrongs do make a right as in

algebra if you study algebra

two negatives make a positive

or outside the field of

mathematics if I was to

say I do not not love you,

I'd be saying I love you.

- I am not not going to

kill mark and his wife.

- I believe you've got it,

I'm so proud of you Fiona.

- Ohhh.

- Identity crisis, identity

crisis, identity crisis.

- Okay, it's alright

sweetheart I have the bag,

just go change okay?

- Okay.

- There you go, that's it.

- Okay.

- Take it easy.

- Come on man really?

I've known you a long time i

backed you up with the pink

socks with your clients all

these outta control, controlling

them for you, I've

done everything man

but this, I'm gonna

tell you this better

be fucking worth it.

- Oh.

- Ura seconds.

- I mean look I knew what

i was getting into right

signing up for it and all.

- Right.

- And I shouldn't be

rethinking it now.

- I always try to avoid

rethinking things.

- Study.

- I busted my ass lighting

that god damn scene.

Working that negative so it

looked like we were really

on the moon you think that

was production design?

Give me a god damn break I was

hiding flaws left and right.

It was all me, it's

been a while now

and I think I deserve

a little credit.

- Credit's over rated.

- Yeah the past is the past.

- No, the past is

never the past.

- It isn't?

- No the past is

bullshit, it doesn't exist

time doesn't exist.

I mean think about it have

you ever found yourself

in the past or in the

future have you ever really

found yourself in the future?

No it has always without

exception each and every fucking

time been the present.

Hello.

- Hello.

Oh.

- I am the ninja of justice.

- This is great really I mean

Besides that's my wife.

the honorable thing.

The right thing.

Goodbye my loves.

- And hm, they fell alright.

- Okay lady that's enough

for, for me anyway you know

I'm not to into the cryptic

panoramic mumbo jumbo.

- Pretentious.

- Clearly, other than the

girl taking off the blouse

that was kinda nice

i did like that.

Other than that third grade

helmed gobbled gook shit

see ya Brett i

wouldn't wanna be ya.

I'm fucking outta here man.

She's nuts man.

- Do you feel that?

You haven't felt that feeling

before have you Byron?

It's called fear.

- Now Harriet you've

done a marvelous job.

- Don't try any of your

stupid mind games on here

I practically invented them.

Aren't you a little

afraid yourself?

Now I know stu ripped off your

father Byron and your parents

Fiona but I think that was

small change compared to what

he stole from your

old best friend Brett.

Your best friend and Daniella's

brother Davis, oh he was

a real genius, such a brilliant

mind, he invented this.

But stu went and stole his

technology and created the

prototype himself you see

this here is knowledge,

knowledge of things that

shouldn't be known to the world.

I have a little

surprise for you.

Do you know that stu never

took this thing public

that if he had Bill Gates

would have look like a pauper

in comparison to him.

But no, he didn't and the

world hasn't been altered

fortunately.

I have a tiny little

surprise for you

and I suggest you take it.

I would like you all to

leave and return in one hour.

I've a little surprise to

deliver into your laps.

- You look

like a new woman.

I feel like I'm

cheating on my wife.

- Jerk.

- This is Mickey's get away.

Keys.

- I'm exhausted, I think

I'm just gonna take a shower

and go to sleep.

- Okay.

Lita thanks for understanding.

Your hair looks great.

I think Mickey has some

night clothes in the bedroom.

The last time that we were in

a cabin it was our first time.

- How could I forget?

I love you.

- I love you too.

- I'm all out of grape flavor

so I thought i

would pop a cherry.

- Darkness spreads.

- I must be goin'

crazy.

- Hey mother fucker.

Come here you.

You, you betrayed us man

no matter what you do

no matter where you go you

will always be one of us

do you understand me?

Yeah I should put

a bullet right in

the back of your head pal.

- He's right.

- I just want out that's all.

- Lying fuck.

- Please.

- You let me deal with him.

- Yeah.

- Fuck!

- Go take care of that.

I'll take care of him.

- No, no!

- Come on

Run.

- No I'm sorry.

I love you.

- Let's go.

- Lita!

No, no, no, no, no.

No.

- I could shoot you right now.

I don't really think that

you've suffered enough though

do you?

Do you think that

you've suffered as

much as Jenna suffered?

Maybe next time you'll

think twice before you kill

someone's sister.

I'll give you til

the count of five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

- No.

- Wait, wait don't

do it, don't do it.

- She.

- I know.

- She.

- Mark I know.

- She fucking killed lita.

- Put down the rock.

- She didn't have

anything to do with it.

She wasn't even there.

- But mark it has to stop.

Here and now all this

killing all this blood shed

it's gone viral.

Stu started it and

you, you can end it.

You, you just have

to choose to stop.

- Decision time.

- Indeed.

- I think, I think he's

gonna do the right thing.

- Is that what you want?

- That's what should happen.

- It's such a shame, you're

released from your contract

in five seconds Otto.

- Do you know any

good psychiatrists?

- Alright this is one of my

newer songs written back from

the time of the Beatles.

- I can't wait.

- It's called menzie technology.

- That's you, that's you.

- Take it babe.

- That's you again.
