All Is Lost dialogue script - Re-write

EXT. Hanger - Night

Albert has been captured and tied up in an abandoned hangar. He has been blindfolded so he can't see anything. There are four men who are the Corone brothers, they are in their late 20s to early 30s. Rodger however is 42. They are tall and they all have dark brown hair. One is wearing a suit and the others are wearing leather jackets. They want revenge on what Albert did to their family. 

ALBERT BROOKSTEIN
You're nothing more that uncivilised animals. What'd ya want with an old man like me? Because I'd rather die than give in, if thats what it'll take. 

Martin Corone the man in the suit rolls his sleeves up and takes his blazer and tie off. He rips the blindfold off of Albert.


MARTIN CORONE
Money doesn't always pay Albert, you think you can just

ALBERT
I CAN DO WHAT I WANT, THATS WHAT.

MARTIN
Ugh and I thought you'd be polite. Life, it's such a pretty thing isn't it? Old men like you should be hung. But now why would I want to do that when we know how to really kill you. Right to the core. 

ALBERT
You couldn't burn a mayfly. Sorry, once you've come out the cot then I will raise my hands and give in. 

RODGER CORONE
You think you're f**king funny don't ya? Well here I thought Martin was funny, just turns out it was his suit.

MARTIN
Oi

RODGER
I didn't ask you to speak did I Martin?

Rodger spits on Albert then right hook punches him in the face, blood flies out Albert's mouth. This is then followed by Martin who at first looks scared, but he continues to punch Albert in the stomach and then kicks the chair backwards. Rodger goes all up in his face.

RODGER
Just give us the location of your earnings and we'll let you be on your way. Il be honest I want you dead, but what's the good of that? When I can enjoy seeing you suffer the loss of what you love. 

MARTIN
ANSWER HIM

RODGER
Once, my brother. Short little kid, thought he was hilarious. Well, to everyone but himself. Made a fool outta the whole family. We tried…we really did, after all he was our bro. And family always stick together. But he shamed us all, thinking he could grow up and become some pretentious prick who orders the entirety of the world around. 

MARTIN
He got it.

RODGER
Now he never had the chance to learn, because he had to be eradicated before it was too late. You on the other hand have a choice. Lifes cached up with you old Albert boy. 

JOHNNY CORONE
Mercy ain't the boss of us. We pride ourselves on the respect of the Corone's. Five generations of respectable rogues. And what are you? Ha, you're just a pathetic Black Tie Gang wannabe. Mocking us was never wise.  

ALBERT
You think some so called clever little anecdotes will change my mind? Pfft you really don't know me at all. Just kill me, be cleaner that way. 

MARTIN
Bore me later with your dusty old stories, wheres our money?

ALBERT
Why would I ever hand back my riches? It's fair game, you didn't have to play the fool. Play properly next time. Death is a way I'd much prefer. Because i'm the con, you are the subjects. 

RODGER
He's had his chances. Bring her in.

George Corone drives into the hangar with a black van, Johnny and Martin open the back doors and drag a weak body next to Albert. She squeals and cries. Her hands are tied up and she is blindfolded. Blood drips from her arm. It is Albert's wife Mary.

MARY BROOKSTEIN
Im dead already Albert (sobs) what's the point anyway?

Albert starts to cry at the realisation that it is his wife, he begs for them to let her go. 

ALBERT
Mary, MARY. I love you. It's going to be okay, trust me alright? Let her go………please. I'm begging you.

MARTIN
We have you where it hurts, how's it feel Albert? Here her squeals at the consequence of your actions. 

RODGER
You know the deal, our money. Everything you have, tell us where it is and we'll let you live.

ALBERT
Bu…

MARTIN
If you value your wife's life then you'll tell us.

MARY
Albert, Albert it's ok. I loved you, but I do not anymore. My life is nothing without you. But money is nothing without yours. Just let me die. I'm old anyway, I've been dead inside for years. I thought you escaped this world, but obviously you didn't. 

ALBERT
You can't kill…her..bu (sobs, can't finish his words)

RODGER
Give us ya maneyy.

Albert
(long pause) 34 Acres Avenue, behind the lamppost there is a some concrete, underneath there, are four briefcases. My money. 

JOHNNY
Now if we find out that you're lying, then there will be much worse to come. 

RODGER
Let her go, she's no good to us now.

Albert is left tied up, he is distraught. Mary, at a struggle gets up and starts limping out. Martin pours petrol around the perimeter, as Mary is walking out Johnny shoots her three times. She collapses dead.

Albert starts screaming and crying.
ALBERT
MARYYYYYYYYYY (sobs)

MARTIN
All hail Corone.

RODGER
Shouldn't make us wait Al, let it burn. 

Rodger squeezes Albert's cheek in sarcasm and then drops a match and sets alight the petrol in the hangar.
