About LinkBacks(Song is heard playing. A man is driving a truck with almost expressionless. He is dirty and exausted, He nods his head from time to time with the music and sings along every now and then. He looks to the bed of his truck and looks dazed for a moment. then he goes right back to singing along. He pulls over at a small dainty house and turnes off the truck the music stops. He grabs a shovel and a tarp out of the bed of his truck. Cuts to him spraying them with a hose. cuts again to him putting them back in the bed of his truck. He walks into the house and takes off his outer shirt and drapes it over a chair. He notices the t.v. on and turnes it off.)
Man
Think that's enough t.v. for a while...We have to talk.
(camera spins around the man as he moves to the side of the couch. Another man is there on the floor, bound by duct tape and rope. He is badly beaten and bleeding. His eyes are wide with fright and he is shaking.)
What you did was noble. Don't think it wasn't. I say you were...just in the wrong place at the wrong time, but...that's not true. I knew you'd be there. Just got careless...In my line of work you can not be careless.
(Pats the victim on the back.)
No worries. It wont happen again.
(The victim writhes and makes muffled sounds through the duct tape.)
Sorry, where are my manners?
(The man takes off the duct tape. The victim looks at him still shaking.)
Victim
What happens know?
Man
Not sure yet. Waiting on the lord to give me an answer.
Victim
The lord?
Man
(nods and leans real close to the victim.)
With him on my side, no one can stop me.
(smiles)
I bet your hungry. What do you have to eat around here?
(victim says nothing)
Do you not have a prefrence?
(victim still says nothing)
Ok. guess I'll just find something myself.
Victim
Why?
Man
(stops and slowly gets in his face again menacingly)
Why what?
Victim
Everything. The shovels the car. Everything.
Man
(smiles still in his face)
I thought you'd never ask...But first i'm gonna eat some of your food.
(begins rumaging through the kitchen making a mess. Then says calmly almost joking)
All you have here is garbage! You actually put this in your body!
Victim
(Screams)
Why are you doing this!?
Man
(The victims scream crecendos everything to almost dead silence. The man stops what he was doing in the kitchen and walks to the victim.)
Why can't you see? Why does everyone doubt? The light shines on me boy. I don't know why, it just does. I've been chosen to carry out this will and i will not stop until i am dead. Now i'm real sorry about your friend you have to trust me on that. But he needed to be a,...
(thinks)
Martyr,...if you will. Actually he's more like the sepulcher. I released him not because of who he was or what he had done,..but rather what he stood for. And the damage he was unknowingly administering to his friends and family...to you.
(He goes from desperate preaching to scolding with dark undertone)
Now you saw something you weren't supposed to see. My work is only truly effective when poeple don't know that it's work. You catch me? They need to think it was an accident. Or as i call it a divine occurance....
(slight pause, he then resituates him self as looses almost all emotion in his face. Gets feirce.)
Now we apparently have a situation on our hands. If i let you go, you will taddle to the police. And that will hinder my work.
Victim
(writhes around to his knees and gets in the mans face. The man smiles a little bit.)
If your going to kill me just fucking do it! Spare me the "divine" bullshit!
Man
(Still fierce)
Boy, you best calm down.
Victim
Your going to burn in hell for th..
Man
(snatches the victims face in his hand cutting him off, and while holding back incredible rage says)
I am the only one who can do this! This is my purpose! My only reason to be!...
(releases his face. When this happens it causes the victim to fall back onto the ground in a prone position. The man then gets up, and tries to calm himself. He walks calmly around to the back of the victim)
godless heathen...
Victim
(As the victim talks the man is digging in a bag. He sets aside a large tarp.)
Your no savior. You nothing. None of this is going to matter. Noone will remember you.
Man
(As he lifts a shovel)
Now you got it!
Swings the shovel across the victims head. Camera chops again. From the man wrapping the victim in the tarp, Dragging him to the truck then latching him down. Then of the man driving for a bit. It is now dark outside. The man now does the same in reverse at a different house. Unlatches drags victim then unwraps him. The victim is bleeding from his head.)
Man
Sorry 'bout that shinner boy, Wanted you to rest a bit while relocated.
Victim
(weakly)
Where am I?
Man
(exited)
Your in purgatory boy! I'm not sure if your going to heaven or hell, but i'm pretty sure your about to find out.
Victim
(still weak)
Listen, You can't do this... My friend... he...he helped everyone whoever needed help...he was ...was like a hero...don't make this mistake twice...
(starts to nod off as he finishes)
Man
(loudly)
Listen to me slanderin' sack of shit! You can use them words of hate on me all day, and i'll turn the other cheek. But when you speak ill of the actions i do that the good lord bestowed upon me, then your openin' a brand can of fuckin' worms! Would be a very intelligent thing for you to just sow them lips together until i figure out what to do with you!
Victim
(the man walks almost out of sight and the victim, who looks almost asleep, perks up a little and starts laughing)
HAHAHAHHAH!
Man
(gets in his face again. both their faces are red. from laughing and from anger)
What the hell is so funny...boy?
V ictim
(while laughing)
I'm trying to save you. Trying to help you....But your too damn retarded to even consider it!
(stops laughing and yells at him)
Your going to rot in hell!
Man
(takes a deep breathe and calmly says)
Might have to do that sowing myself...
(gets up and camly walks without emotion to the adjacent room. Clanks and soft bangs are heard. Then the man walks back in with a fishing hook and line)
Let's see you speak anymore blasphemy with this on.
(The camera slowly moves up while the victim is heard screaming and skin is heard tearing, then the victim mufffling slowly. The camera rests above the action. The man stands up and is seen in the view now. He is a little bloody and sweaty. He wipes his brow and blows in exaustion. Camera then slowly moves back down to the victim. He is trembling and attempting to whimper. His back is to the camera and he quickly without warning flips around showing his lips mangled and sown shut for a moment, then camera cuts to black.)
(a t.v. is heard with the screen still black then camera fades open with the man sitting in a recliner watching t.v. and the victim still tied up and sown shut.)
Man
(flipping through channels)
It's amazing how much filth they put on the television. I'm not much for watching it, but i hear about some of the stuff they're getting away with and... Hey! Hey!
(the victim stirs)
I'm talking to you.
(the camera goes from focus on the man to the victim back and forth with no real pattern)
Hey!!
(The man pics up a knife and throws it at the victim. It hits him with the blunt end. The man squirms and moans an uncomfortable moan.)
Your over there sleeping and I'm trying to hold a conversation with you. I really value your input on this matter.
(victim moans)
What? Didn't quite hear you.
(victim gets mad and starts flopping around and moaning loudly)
No shit!? Your are blowing my mind boy!
(the man starts laughing loudly. He looks around and throws another knife at him. It bounces off and the victim continues to flop and the man comtinues to laugh. He finds another knife and aims carefully. Then throws. It sticks in the victims side. The victim screams in pain while the man applaudes himself and laughs even harder. After a moment his laughter calms and he says)
I'm gonna go decide your fate, ok? You be good now.
(He walks by him as picks up the loose knives.)
Hold these for me, would ya?
(He sticks one violently in the victims thigh and one in his calf of his other leg. )
Don't go nowhere.
(the man walks to a room. As he opens it a red light comes out and he embraces it as he walks in. The victim choking on his own blood. Starts to drift off. As he does he notices he can reach the knife in his calf. He looks at the door way and then tries to pull it out. He yelps and stops. He looks at the door again...Nothing. He tries to pull it out again. This time he pulls for longer and only gets a little out. He yelps even louder this time. He freezes and looks once again at the doorway...Nothing.. The victim gathers his breathe, wraps his hand around the knife, closes his eyes and tenses up to pull it out. Camera cuts to the mans face. He is praying. The victim is heard screaming. The man jerks his head up and runs out the door. He looks where the victim should be but he isn't there.)
Man
You still have a chance if you come here right now. But if you make me look for you, your fate is pretty much sealed.
(waits)
alright then.
(Opens a drawer by him and starts going through it, then says to himself)
Not really the sort of character to use guns but,...
(finds gun and raises it to look at it.)
...You really bring the evil out in me..
(The man goes slowly through the house very carefully while talking at the victim. He turns things over very loudly hoping for a raise out of the victim to give his position away. He makes it the kitchen. The camera pans from him making a mess, on to the other side of the refridgerator where the victim is squating down. He is shaking and his lips are torn badly from busting the seams on the fishing line. The victim starts to move away and slips in his own blood making him fall into the refridgerator. The man stops and sees the victims hand come into view from around the fridge. Then a near by door open. He runs over to the door on the other side of the fridge and stops. He sees the door open leading to a dark room. He starts down it. The man strarts talking cockily again as the camera follows him down. The camera then moves back from the dark into the kitchen. It focuses on a knife laying on the counter. It glistens for a second and a hand picks it up. The victim moves slowly at first then down to the room. The man spins around and a gunshot is heard. Then the victim jumps onto the back of the man stabbing him. They fight around in the dark with only the small light from the kitchen illuminating. After a brief brawl they are both on the ground badly beaten. The man stumbles up and grabs the gun. He points it at the victims head and tries to gather himself. The victim is shot and badly wounded, crawling on the floor. Camera(still in the same cut) darts around franticly as the mens action slows to dialogue)
Man
I didn't want to kill you.
Victim
(laughs)
You knew you were going to kill me from the start...But you stalled for too long long.
Man
Stalled?
Victim
Yeah,..in looking for your balls, you found what was left of your concience.
Man
You don't think I can kill you? Boy! This is beyond me and far the fuck beyond you!
(Puts the gun right above the victims head.)
