Victim (2010) - full transcript
A young man finds himself held captive by a mysterious doctor and his brutish henchman.
Man, Hi.
So, have you ever
done this before?
No.
No?
No.
So come on in
and sit on the bed for me.
Thanks.
Where, where'd you say
you're from, again?
Kansas.
Kansas.
Yeah, that's right.
No place like home?
Click your heels twice?
Would you do something for me?
Mm-hmm.
So I'm just gonna,
I'm just gonna put my hand
on top of your head and,
and just help you get relaxed.
O.K.
Could you tell me
about that butterfly?
I just got it when I was home.
You got it when you were
at home... Wow.
It's beautiful.
You're beautiful.
I'm just helping you
get relaxed.
O.K.
Now, now just close
your eyes for me...
And just think of something...
Something really nice and I'm
gonna go into the bathroom now.
But just keep them closed
for me, O.K.?
O.K.
O.K.... I'll be right back.
Keep them closed.
You stupid bitch!
Come on, come on!
You like it!
No... Please.
Woman: Get you a refill?
I got time for another...
And maybe your number.
I don't give my number.
Oh, here.
You can take my card.
Gimme a call.
Who are you?
What do you want?
What?
Let me out of here!
Let me out of here!
Get the fuck away from me!
Stop it!
Stop!
Oh, god!
What is it?
What are you doing?!
What is it...?!
Let us start clean.
A blank slate, as they say.
Haven't you ever
wanted to start over?
Man, recorded: Be careful
when putting on new attire.
A lady's shoulders are narrow
and their hips are wide,
so always slip a dress on
over the head.
Pull gently, careful not to
stretch the fabric.
If you are wearing
a full slip, then be sure
to tighten it at the seam...
Hey!
I need water!
I need water!
Hello!
I need something to drink!
The girl follows the
headwaiter or hostess
and the boy follows her...
Table and seating
his lady fair...
Help!
Anybody!
Let me out!
Older man: You're wasting
your energy.
Help!
No one can hear you.
Fuck you.
You're regaining your
strength... that's good.
You're going to need it.
Fuck... You.
Older man: I expect the
utmost cooperation from you
in the time we're going to
spend together.
Do you understand?
Man: What do you want
from me?
What is your name?
What do you remember last?
I was having a drink.
Look, I don't know,
it's all hazy.
Let me the fuck out of here.
You have a foul mouth.
In fact, everything about you
is foul.
Your stench pollutes
this entire space.
No, man...
I'll return in a few hours
and see if your attitude
has improved.
Little girl: Dear diary, I
found a special place to write.
It's cold, damp, and the
darkness scares me, but no
one can find me down here.
I'm all alone.
Father says it's better
this way.
That's why he won't let me go
to school like other children.
He says people might want to
take me away from him.
Man, recorded: Prestige
behavior is key.
A true lady is modest, discreet,
kind and obliging.
If you...
Older man: Did you know that
there are seven different
types of fingerprints
that humans possess?
They simply vary in shapes and
sizes, yet they are so...
Identifiable.
Now...
Mister George.
This would be the type of pain
which you cannot control.
You may think of it as
unnecessary, but if we're to
continue our work together,
it's quite essential.
You are no longer you.
Do you understand?
Little girl: Dear diary,
finally today the most amazing
thing happened to me.
Father gave me a present.
It's a beautiful red dress.
He says mom used to wear it
for him.
I know it's big.
But one day, diary, I think
I want to wear it too.
Older man: Georgie, remember,
lock the cellar door.
It's very important.
I don't want to have to
keep reminding you...
Oh!
Woman: You've reached
9-1-1 emergency.
I need
someone's help now, right...
Please wait for the next
available operator.
Emergency, may I help you?
Hello?
Help me.
I don't know where I am,
I'm in a mansion somewhere.
Hello?
Man: No, no, no, no...
Mister George.
Please!
You can't keep me in here!
People will be looking for me!
No need to worry.
Little girl: Dear diary.
It was the most perfect
day today.
Father and uncle George took me
to the park and we saw so many
wonderful things.
Man, recorded: A lady is
always fluid and graceful
in her posture.
Keep your shoulders back and
walk with one foot directly
in front of the other.
Good posture is key.
Let this be a guide for good
daughters and mothers who have
poise and...
Little girl: Uncle George
watched me play in the grass.
I don't like when he
looks at me that way.
I told him to stop,
but father says he likes to
stare at beautiful things.
When I grow up, will I be
beautiful, diary?
Janet, it's Carl.
How are you?
Haven't heard back from you
on that report I sent over.
Oh, uh, wanted to say I hear
you're heading down to Florida
to take care of your mother.
Good luck.
Anyway, call me
about that report.
Records, please.
Carl... This is Janet.
So what's this report
you left me?
Wasn't a uniform sent?
Uh-huh, I got it.
Rich folks and their gates.
Winthrop court...
Right.
Bye, Carl.
Winthrop court...
Records.
Run me a report
on that Winthrop address.
The food looks
wonderful, Georgia.
We have much work to do.
Save the bones for our guest,
Georgia.
What?
Man, recorded: And be sure
to tighten it at the seaMs.
You really should have
come down for dinner.
Get some rest.
Older man: We are accepting
no visitors.
Please go away.
Hello.
I'm Detective Janet Corwin
with the Lake Zurich P.D.
I'm here to ask you a few
questions about a 9-1-1 call
that was made from this address.
It should only take
a few minutes.
Little girl: Please.
I'm in awe of the kindness,
love and generosity that one
person can show another.
Unfortunately, my young
nephew has played pranks
like this in the past.
I assure you that the boy
was punished.
Oh... well, may I speak
with the boy, please?
I'm afraid not.
He left with his father
for New York this morning.
Oh.
Do you have children
of your own, Dr. Volk?
Yes... my daughter, Rachel.
She's living in Los Angeles,
trying to become an actress,
of all things.
Oh.
Do you see her often?
She comes and stays with me
every now and again.
Hmm, well, she's very pretty.
Anything else, Detective?
No, no.
I suppose that's all.
Uh, thank you for your time.
Of course.
Carl, it's me.
Can you get me the report on the
Winthrop address by Monday?
Remember our work.
Put him in the chair.
That was the stupidest thing
you have done so far.
Now you will pay for it.
Now you'll pay for it.
What do you want?
[distorted voices
[overlapping...]
Give me a call.
Give me a call.
Give me a call.
Do you like music?
Yes.
Good.
What's your name?
Do you like music?
Yes.
Good.
What's your name?
I don't know.
Where are you from?
I don't know.
Are you married?
No.
No, or you don't know?
N-n-no...
Or I don't remember.
Try.
Why do you keep asking me
the same questions?
I told you, I don't remember.
Tell me...
Do you recognize...?
Nevertheless, we are
making progress.
Let us leave him, mister George.
Wait...
Who's the girl?
Mister George.
Make sure you give him
some therapy.
How are you feeling today?
Not so good.
We're going to clean you up.
You've been receiving
a mixture of hormones,
antidepressants and vitamins
for some time now.
This will make you feel better.
Mister George is going to
shave you.
If you move,
he'll slit your throat.
Understand?
Yes.
Good.
Two years ago.
You son of a bitch.
"first officer on the scene
was officer Brian McHammond."
Shit...
Get me the L.A.P.D.
I'm innocent!
Good afternoon.
Please.
I... I can't stop crying.
I have something
for you to wear.
What's that?
Put it on.
Why?
Take your old clothes off.
Volk: You need to put on
the dress.
I don't want to.
You'll not be fed until you
put on your new clothes.
I'm not gonna wear
a fucking dress!
Things are progressing well.
We're on schedule.
You need your strength.
Are you happy now?
I'm wearing the fucking dress!
What are you looking at,
asshole?
Do you talk?
Huh?
Why are you looking at me
like that?
Stop it.
Stop looking at me like that!
Stop it!
I don't like you looking
at me like that!
I don't like you seeing me
this way!
Stop it!
Volk: Stand up.
You have too much body hair.
It must be removed.
For your nails.
Your favorite color is blue.
Do it or no dinner tonight.
Can I at least have
some privacy?
Come closer.
What do you think?
Man:
No more... Please.
Shh...
It's all for the best.
Please...
Let me free us both from sin.
Shh...
No, mister George.
We need that to form the vagina.
No...!
Here.
Take it.
I'm not here to hurt you.
I know you don't understand
what we're accomplishing here.
But you will.
I promise.
"There be none of beauty's
daughters with a magic
like thee.
And like music on the waters
is thy sweet voice to me.
When..."
Oh...
I've worn you out.
I do get carried away.
I know it's your favorite.
Rest well, dear... Rest.
Georgie, could you help her
back to bed, please?
Shit.
Please, don't transfer me.
I'm, I'm looking for
officer McHammond.
I need to talk to him about a
case he was first officer on.
Does anyone know where he is?
Great, Cabo San Lucas.
Um... Can someone relay
a message to him?
Have him call Detective
Janet Corwin of Lake Zurich P.D.
He's feverish.
It's too damp in here.
Put him in the guest bedroom
for now.
Yes.
I'm sure.
Corwin.
Detective Corwin?
Yes.
Hey, this is Brian McHammond.
I got a message you're trying
to reach me?
Yes I, I wanted to talk
to you about Rachel Volk.
Sound familiar?
Yeah. Yeah.
That does sound familiar.
You knew her
before the murder?
Yeah.
I knew her.
Uh, I knew her by the name
of Rachel Gavin, that was
her stage name.
Did you lock the guest
bedroom like I asked?
Good.
Then you may finish
your gardening.
Detective Corwin, I'm sorry.
I'm extremely busy today.
I have no time for visitors.
Well, I'm in a rush
and I only need five minutes
of your time.
I have some very important
work to do.
I can always come back
tomorrow with a few more
officers and a warrant.
Have it your own way.
Volk: What is this about?
This is starting to feel
like harassment.
I do apologize.
I, uh, I hoped you'd clear
something up for me about
the other day.
You mentioned that your brother
was here visiting and his
son dialed 9-1-1 as a prank?
And that your daughter, Rachel,
is living in Los Angeles, trying
to become an actress.
That's correct.
What kind of acting
is she doing?
You know what I hate
about my job, Dr. Volk?
I'm sure I don't know.
Everyone lies to you.
Was your daughter involved
in anything unusual before
she was killed?
I'm going to have to
ask you to leave.
What are you hiding?
You're a police officer,
Ms. Corwin.
You have seen many horrible
things in the line of duty,
have you not?
Have you ever lost someone
you loved?
Have you ever had them
taken from you?
Have you ever wondered
what you are capable of?
If you had the power to change
things, would you?
Back off.
I said back off.
Who else is in this house?
Who was that?
Who else is in this house?
No one.
I mean it!
I assure you, we are alone.
Move it.
Move!
Move it...
Open the door.
I don't have the keys.
I said open it!
This is a mistake.
Open the door and then
back away.
Back away.
Back away.
What have you done?
I'm here to help you.
Detective Corwin,
you don't understand.
I understand perfectly.
I'm taking this person with me.
Please don't.
Man: Who are you?
Where's my diary?
He's sick.
He can't be moved.
Oh, Rachel!
Rachel...
Rachel?
You, you are so screwed,
you sick son of a bitch.
Why? Because
I love my daughter?
Carl, pick up, damn it.
Pick up.
I am so sorry,
Detective Corwin.
}
Volk: The phone!
Georgie...
Detective Corwin...
You should have listened
to your fears.
It's nice to see you
like this.
Little girl: Dear diary,
I had such a wonderful day
today.
My father took me
to the garden.
He loves his garden so much.
He had to dig a hole
to plant our seeds.
Volk: More will come,
you know.
It doesn't matter, Georgia.
His mind has finally opened up
to us... we start phase two
as scheduled.
Little girl: I wasn't
supposed to tell anyone
where we hid the seeds.
But my father told me that in
the right season, something
beautiful will grow there.
This should...
Buy us the time we need.
Once we're finished,
let them come.
Be sure the car's never found.
Man, tearfully: "it was a
small gesture, but I'm in awe...
Of the kindness...
Love...
And generosity...
That one person...
Can show another."
It's time.
Please...
"i know it was a small gesture,
but I'm in awe...
Of the kindness...
Love...
And generosity..."
As well you should be.
The incisions will be made
here and here.
Please.
No more.
Please.
The diary.
What about the diary?
It's taught me so much.
There really is...
Kindness in the world...
Innocence...
Isn't there?
This is necessary pain.
Mister George.
Woman: ♪ Ave...
Maria... ♪
"knowing is not enough.
You must apply.
Willing is not enough.
You must do."
Goethe.
Congratulations, Georgia.
Your time will soon come.
He must be hot again.
I was concerned about this.
He's not reacting well
to the surgery.
We need to cool you down.
You have an infection.
Keep him in the water
for 10 minutes, then check
his temperature again.
Then put him back
in the guest bedroom.
Aah...
He's fine.
Let him rest,
check on him in an hour.
And Georgia...
The hair.
May I help you?
Sorry to bother you,
but we're searching for
a missing officer...
Janet Corwin.
We understand she came
to visit you.
Corwin.
Yes.
The lady detective.
There was some sort of glitch in
the emergency telephone system.
That was quite some time ago.
Right.
Some people thought she might
have gone to Florida,
only she's not there.
And no one can find her.
Well, I know nothing
about that.
Think you might know
where she is, or...
Did she say anything to you?
No.
She said nothing.
Okay, then.
Thank you for your time.
Rachel?
It's time for dinner.
High-pitched voice: Yes,
father.
We've achieved so much.
It's time to appreciate it
while we can.
Oh, we've been waiting for you.
High-pitched voice
throughout: I'm sorry, father.
I had to prepare the roast.
And it looks absolutely
delicious, don't you agree?
I do.
Here.
Won't you do the honors?
Go on.
You're so much more
meticulous than i.
Mister George.
Thank you.
A... A poem then.
"the hand of vengeance
found the bed
to which the purple
tyrant fled.
The iron hand crushed
the tyrant's head
and became a tyrant
in his steaD."
William Blake.
It's so good to have you
with us, Rachel.
It's been too long.
"Rachel": I'm sorry
to disturb you.
Oh, no.
Please come in.
You're not disturbing me.
Would you do something
for me, Rachel?
Anything.
Would you dance for me...
Like you used to?
But there's no music.
Let's see what we can
do about that.
You are so beautiful.
Father...
Father!
Rachel...
You left me once...
Without saying good-bye.
Now...
Go upstairs and put on
your blue sundress.
I've been preparing
a surprise for you.
A surprise?
Yes... a special surprise.
It's taken me a long time
but it's finally ready.
Are you ready?
What is it?
You'll find out... Very soon.
When?
Tonight, Rachel...
Tonight.
Is it time?
Yes... It's time.
Follow me.
What is it?
Your surprise.
Rachel on video: Kansas.
Man, distorted: Kansas?
Yeah, that's right.
Is everything in place?
It must duplicate the real
thing, precisely... does it?
Good.
Man: Come on in.
Have you ever done this before?
Rachel: No.
That's O.K., come on,
come on in.
O.K....
Sit down, please.
Would you do a favor for me?
Sure.
Would you just...
Would you brush your hair back
just a little bit?
What's going on?
Man: What is that?
Uh, it's a butterfly.
Butterfly.
What are you doing?
Man: O.K., I want you
to lay back for me.
Such beautiful legs.
They're so beautiful.
[video continues
[indistinctly...]
What are you doing?
Stop it.
What are you doing?
I said stop.
Man: Take off your dress.
Take off your dress.
Take off your dress.
I...
Why are you doing that?
Why are you doing that?
Stop it... I said stop.
Man: I want to see what's
going on under here, I want to
feel you, I want to touch you.
Stop it!
Rachel: No!
Man: Take it off!
Take it off!
You stupid bitch!
Come on!
Fucking bed
and you're gonna fuck me!
Man: Fuck! Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck!
[Rachel screaming and crying,
["Rachel" crying...]
Man: You like that, don't you?!
You fuckin' like that!
Father?
Father!
Get up!
I said get up!
Put your hands
behind your head,
clasp your fingers together.
Walk.
Where are we going?
You say one more word, I'll
blow your brains out right here.
Man: Take it off...
Volk: Stop right there.
Man: Touch you.
Yes, yes!
Rachel: No!
Take it off!
You take this off!
It's a web service
where men pay to have
their fantasies acted out.
Rape videos...
Snuff filMs...
Get in there.
Man: Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Get on your knees.
Face the screen.
Man: You like it!
Volk, crying: You only wanted
to be an actress.
I'm sorry.
Sorry?
You want to know why I let
you read my baby's diary?
Because I wanted you to feel
exactly what she felt.
Oh... I've done terrible things.
But I had to give you back
your innocence so you would know
exactly what it felt like to
have it ripped out of you!
Please...
Please, father.
I'll do anything.
You want to know
a little secret?
She... Lived.
She survived.
And even though her doctors
said her brain was dead,
I brought her here.
I nursed her back to health.
For what?
She can't leave her room.
She can't even have dinner
with her own father.
Please... Please!
No...
No.
N-no!
No...
Rachel...
Rachel, I'm not gonna hurt you!
Let me in!
Rachel?
Rachel?
Rachel...
Rachel...
Little girl: I've decided
that some day I want to
become a movie star.
I'll do whatever it takes.
But I'm afraid, diary.
I'm scared.
My father says the world can be
a very bad place.
My father says I could get hurt
if I go too far away.
He says I shouldn't
trust people.
Is it true, diary?
Will people want to hurt me?
Is my father right?
Are people mostly bad
on the inside?
I don't think so.
I think people are good
on the inside.
I think they can be trusted.
I think on the outside,
people are like caterpillars.
But on the inside,
like butterflies...
Waiting to come out.
