Evil at the Door (2022)

[bunniefuu]

Good evening, and allow

me to welcome each of you

to the annual Night of the

Locusts.

Please take a moment to

introduce yourselves.

I trust that you have

hydrated and remained

physically and mentally ready.

You will find the target

location

for your run in your respective

packages.

There will be two unwilling

players at the target address,

one male and one female.

Say something.

Now, there's no

security system in place,

it was deactivated 87 days ago.

Always remember your oath and

the laws

that you've sworn to obey.

Enjoy the evening, fellow

Locusts.

And God bless.

Isn't this a surprise?

How long are you here this time?

Honey, Liz just got into town.

She's gonna stay with us for a

few days.

Obviously.

I did the math.

How was work?

I'm a mortgage bonder, Liz,

Do you really want to know how

work was?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Jess, a minute.

What the f*ck, Jess?

She's had a brutal 48 hours.

How long has she been here?

Did you leave her alone?

No, god dammit, she just got

here.

She just got through telling

me what she's gone through.

How could you let her back in

here?

We agreed on this.

That man laid his hands on

her.

He is so much bigger

and stronger than her.

He could have k*lled her.

If her story's even true.

She's a liar, Jessica!

Last time she left him, we lent

her money

to get back on her feet,

she f*cking robbed us

and ran right back to him.

Just...

Listen

This is different.

She really wants a new

beginning, okay?

We are the only safe place she

has.

How many more second chances?

How many more this times?

Hi, honey.

Sorry, I was...

Daniel, thank you for having me.

I'll only be here a

little while, I promise.

I know you've done a lot for me

already.

We're happy you're here.

I'll be out of your hair soon.

I can't deal with this.

You have no idea.

I have far more important

things to worry about it.

I don't need this sh*t too.

What could be more

important than family?

Finding a way to pay for all

this.

Honey.

Do better.

Why don't you do something?

All you do is spend my f*cking

money.

Oh, there you are.

- Here I am.

- Come on.

Mr. Roebuck.

I was just getting ready to call

you.

I bet.

Been quite a day for you.

How many of those have you had?

This is my first.

Hmm.

I think you're a liar.

I'd say you're about three

in, and you're a vodka man.

Yes sir.

How'd you know?

We're not talking on

the telephone, Daniel.

It's called video chat.

I can see you.

You know, I'm a scotch

man, myself, single malt.

It's not too high brow and

not trash liquor either,

but it gets the job done.

Is there anything bothering you,

Daniel?

Anything you want to get off

your chest?

No.

It's just this thing with

my wife and her sister,

but don't worry, it'll be fine,

it won't distract from work.

Oh, there's nothing more

important

and more infuriating than

family.

And I don't even know a

Murray.

Was that the name of your

fish in middle school?

I don't know.

Well, anyway, that's what I've

been

calling the mailman, and

his name is probably John.

It's true, it's terrible.

I've missed you!

Oh.

I'm so happy you're here!

Okay, okay.

Missed my Liz.

Hmm.

Wow.

Look at all this.

Look what you did, Jess.

Well, it's not all what

it looks like all the time.

How are things?

I mean...

I don't know, I mean...

It's been an emotional roller

coaster.

Yeah, Daniel.

I don't appreciate you running

out today.

We were all waiting for a full

report

on your interview, and...

You disappeared.

Yes, sir.

Sorry about that.

I needed to clear my head.

Get home, recoup, you know?

That interview was more an

interrogation.

They tore into me.

What exactly did you tell

them?

Nothing.

Nothing, sir, at all.

Any questions they had

about the off-shores,

I said I had no knowledge.

Any questions about the board

meetings off the book, I said-

- What meeting, hmm?

Right, right, that's what I

said.

What meetings?

Our board members would

never hold meetings

without some documentation or-

- Daniel.

Do I have to remind you

that if this continues,

anything should become of

this pesky investigation,

you're front and center in the

crosshairs.

Yes, I understand, sir.

And do you think that

your wife and her sister

would like this piled on top

of their melodramatic baggage?

I don't think so.

His mood swings, I just,

something big

must be going on at work.

I don't know, he doesn't

talk to me about it.

He just comes home and boozes.

He gets boozy, Liz, it's not

hot.

I promise I won't be here very

long.

I've been looking at some

inpatient-outpatient rehabs,

and this time I'm really

gonna stick to it.

I promise I have some Suboxone,

so I won't get symptoms,

and it's just temporary.

I know.

Look, it's not just Daniel's

house, it's my house too,

and you can stay as long as you

want.

Thank you.

Is that Jake?

Yeah.

What's he saying?

"Please, I just want to talk.

I'm really sorry.

I love you."

Give me the phone.

Do not respond to that psycho.

I'm not gonna respond.

Don't take my phone away, Mom.

I'm serious, Liz.

Don't engage with that man.

You're safe here now.

I promise you I was a

champ in there today, sir.

They have nothing to

bring any sort of charges.

You'll be proud of me.

Well, that's that's good to

hear, champ.

Oh, I got a note today...

That there's someone

from the tech department

is coming by your house tonight.

Fellow by the name of Isaac from

IT.

Are you two buddies?

Yeah, Isaac.

No, no, no, no.

He's coming by later tonight

to set up the generation

and computer here,

so I can

continue working from

home, log in from here.

I'm pretty slow at kinda setting

stuff up,

so he's doing for me.

Danny, when I called

you a liar earlier...

I believe that.

I just don't know how

good of a liar you are.

The hell?

f*ck.

More sh*t to add to the list.

Oh god.

That is my cue.

Hey.

I'm really, really glad that

you're here.

Me too.

Don't text that f*ck back.

Radio silence.

Radio silence.

You got a signal?

A phone signal?

No, it's not rall working right

now.

You have a phone, right?

Yeah, see?

I was getting a signal

earlier, but it's weird now.

Jess?

Jess?

Jess.

Jess.

Come on.

Jess.

Come on, open the damn door.

f*ck' knee.

Who the f*ck are you?

Jess.

Hey, what's up?

Ain't we some sexy mother

f*ck?

So what now?

Who wants honors?

Oh yeah, f*ck yeah,

I'll kick that sh*t in.

No no no, first Troy.

What?

What?

First Troy.

Oh, come on, unmarked.

First Troy.

Unmarked?

Tell us the law.

The law.

All right, well f*ck, it just

means

Eisenhower called dibs or

something.

f*ck all that sh*t.

Unless one of you two overrules

me,

there's a lot of time left on

that clock.

I wanna have some fun.

What do you have in mind?

First Troy granted.

Hold on, my boot's untied.

Go ahead.

Oh.

Sorry.

Long-time listener, first-time

caller.

Reveal.

It's my third run.

Was f*cking memorable.

A place off a remote

island right off the coast.

It's a family of four.

If you could call it a family.

So f*cking dysfunctional.

The head of the family?

Guy's been in and out of federal

prison

his whole f*ck' life,

nothing but a con man,

being chased by the feds, by

everybody.

Even hired his own private

security guard.

Thought that was gonna help him.

Not that night.

We took all five of

them, melt 'em all down,

line them up perfectly by the

pool.

And I noticed a machete

right there in the garden.

I picked that f*ck' machete

up,

grabbed him by the back of his

head,

and I took that machete

and I swung it so hard,

and with one f*ck' swoop...

Reveal.

A lot of went sideways on that

one.

Rained all night.

Was a frat house.

Bunch of drunk, high

fraternity guys, you know?

Should have been easy.

No security, everything went

wrong.

The layout was wrong of the

house.

Right in the middle of it,

six other fraternity guys,

they show up drunk off their

asses.

Got sloppy, we were outnumbered.

And then one of the

brothers had a mini stroke

or something in the middle.

Just wasn't up to it.

We had to disengage.

The only incomplete run I've

ever been on.

Integrity hasn't been the

same since One passed the torch.

Agreed.

And this run.

Nixon.

You're booze tastes like sh*t.

Do you like tickle pain?

Do you have tickle pain?

I saw him sh**t sh*t up his

nose.

This run could go sideways

because of him.

I did a run with Eisenhower

before.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Four years back.

this little diner off the main

road.

Three employees, closed at

midnight,

but usually took about an hour-

- I didn't ask for a reveal.

Of course.

And here I am pissing on the

laws.

You ever have a duplicate?

Of course not.

That's not supposed to happen.

Well, someone's getting

sloppy at the top.

My eye on Nixon.

Good.

Two runs from the executive

branch.

I salute you.

Thank you, brother.

Protect the run.

Protect the Locusts.

All right, I got the

perfect shot, don't worry.

Corner pocket.

You won't feel a scratch, don't

worry.

Corner pocket, here it comes.

One, two...

Pacing myself.

I'm pacing myself, don't worry.

He's fine, it's fine.

Jesus Christ,.

Nothing yet?

We did a run before, you and I.

You?

And me?

No, I don't think so, my man.

It was four runs ago.

You were there.

That's not I, amigo.

Besides, run paths, they

never ever cross again.

Reveal.

What?

You heard me.

Reveal.

Oh, sh*t.

Look at this m*therf*cker.

All right.

Sure, pal.

Come on.

Let the interrogation begin.

Come on.

Do your thing.

Oh, no no no.

See, now I know you're f*cking

up,

'cause that one right

there, that one I remember.

That's four years ago, and

that was a Christmas party.

f*ck' serious?

Right now?

f*ck, man.

f*cked, f*ck' jam.

It's like a win-lose with that

f*cking...

Please, like nobody's ever

done drugs in your car before.

One star.

A lot of sh*t changed for me

that night.

See, we terminated 12 targets

that night.

The first two I pushed right off

the top of that m*therf*cker.

Now don't get me wrong, I like

that sh*t

because I happened to

pick out the cutest b*tch

in the whole bunch, right?

And you should have seen the

look on that b*tch's face

when she fell over.

But that's the thing,

it's the look on her face.

I got it for what, one second?

Two seconds at most?

And then that's it.

Just watch her fall.

And hit the cement from 10

stories up.

And what the f*ck is the fun in

that?

See, if I'm gonna k*ll a b*tch,

I want to see it in her eyes.

I want to see a fear.

I want to feel her struggle.

Now, what I learned about

myself is that I like to k*ll,

and I like to k*ll 'em close.

I like to hear 'em take their

last breath.

I like to feel 'em struggle.

Right?

I want her to look at me and

wonder

what the f*ck is going on.

So many questions in the

last few seconds of her life.

Who is this dude?

What's happening?

Why me?

So I remember that night,

but I don't remember you.

So no, Chief.

We didn't have no runs together.

You satisfied?

Good evening, and allow

me to welcome each of you

to the annual Night of the

Locusts.

I trust that you have

hydrated and remained

physically and mentally ready.

You will find the target

location for your run

in your respective packages.

You may open them now.

Please take a moment to

introduce yourselves.

Hey.

He's fine.

He's good.

Still breathing.

Why don't you take your turn

upstairs?

Okay.

f*ck.

What's up, guys?

She come out yet?

Truman, you and Eisenhower

go take your turn downstairs.

Whoa whoa, this is just about

go down.

I said the both of you go

take your turn downstairs now.

Let the unmarked stay up

here and take his turn here

You two, downstairs, now.

Time till the nation?

Just under 30 minutes,

Male target's already been

eliminated.

What?

No no, what the f*ck?

We still have 30 minutes.

Who called that vote?

It wasn't a vote.

Unmarked did it on his own.

f*ck!

I knew it.

And he had a cell phone.

That's okay.

The jammer will do its job.

That's not the point.

How many more strikes are going

to give-

- Dealing with it.

You have the floor.

All brothers assembled,

All in favor of the

compromised being eliminated,

show your marks.

Hey, was that the

door?

Shh!

What's up with your sh*t

tonight?

Couldn't get the buzzer to work

and my phone doesn't have a...

Oh.

Hello.

What's up, buddy?

Is Daniel here?

I was supposed to meet up with

him.

Sound asleep, already in bed.

- Really?

- Yeah, like a baby.

I just talked to him a couple

hours ago.

He asked me to come up and

install

some software on his computer.

- Awesome.

- I'm Isaac, I'm an IT.

I'm his cousin.

Cool.

Family staying in town.

That's always nice.

Actually, we kinda usually

hang out a little afterwards.

His place is a lot nicer than

mine.

Fantastic.

Okay.

Maybe next week.

- Next week?

- Yeah, have a good one.

Oh.

Oh...

Dan.

f*ck that guy.

Come on.

Come on, come on, come

on, come on, come on.

Hello?

Daniel?

Hello?

Kennedy, chip holder.

Truman, timekeeper.

Eisenhower, the gammer.

I'm Nixon.

I don't have anything in my box.

Am I'm supposed to have

something in my box?

What, you're an unmarked?

Yeah, I mean, I don't

have any of those marks,

but I should do something,

right?

It's your first run.

You're the student.

Just be ready.

We'll give you duties

throughout the night.

Let's have some fun.

Can you come out, please?

Can you come out?

I'm tired of f*cking

waiting for you to come out.

Come out, just come out, it's

okay.

Come out, please.

Will you f*cking come out,

please?

f*cking come on.

Any progress?

No, she's f*ck'...

No, she's still in there.

Who was at the door?

It's only a guest.

It was handled.

Okay.

Could have asked me to help.

So tell me, how did

you find the Locusts?

How did I find the Locusts?

What do you mean?

Am I supposed to answer?

Me, you're asking me these

questions.

Why do I pr...

What?

My name was submitted to the

guild,

by a high-standing member

in excellent standing, okay?

High level?

Now I got the phone call,

all Xs pop up on your phone.

I answered the...

I answered the questions.

Obviously I answered them

correctly, because here I am.

So Truman says he thought he

saw you

with a cell phone earlier.

Why would I have a phone?

No way, man, I know the rules,

come on.

That guy's f*ck' on crack

or something, he's high.

Maybe you should be

asking him some questions,

because I think that clock is

messing with his mind, man.

Come on, man, you're

f*cking freaking me out.

Let's just get in here and

get this taken care of.

Why don't you head

downstairs and take another

crack at the pool boy?

I want a turn at this b*tch.

Okay.

Five minutes until

elimination.

All right guys, we got what we

came for.

Now at this time,

affirm to your brothers

by raising your right

hand that you are tonight

forever abiding by your oath.

You are not in possession of any

firearms

and you are free from any

communication devices.

That the only time peace will be

held

by the evening's timekeeper.

Always remember your oath and

the laws

that you have sworn to obey.

If those oaths are broken, your

brothers

will protect their own oaths.

Don't come out.

Wait, please.

There's somebody

upstairs, under the bed!

There's somebody upstairs, an

unknown.

I'm serious!

She's gonna ruin everything.

You f*cking guys.

The one time I'm f*ck'

telling you the truth!

Don't, please.

Go on, go!

Upstairs under the bed!

f*ck...

No!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

You got the unknown, right?

She went downstairs.

Now, for your selected level,

there is no security system in

place.

It was deactivated 87 days ago.

The gate security code is

six-five-six-five-seven.

However, you are encouraged

not to use that as an entrance,

the gate could be deactivated by

using

the same code when prompted.

Per your selected level, there

will be two unwilling players

at the target address,

one male and one female.

Timekeeper, start your clock.

You have 180 minutes, no more.

Time.

Now, you have been

given your assignments,

and each of you know the pledge

binding you to this evening.

As always, we appreciate your

membership

and your generous

donations over the years.

It gives us great pleasure to

facilitate

this evening for all of you.

Just remember, protect

yourselves, but above all,

protect all Locusts by

first protecting the run,

and you will be protecting

all future runs.

Enjoy the evening, fellow

Locusts.

And God bless.

Woo!

Yeah.

Come on, you can't leave me

here!

I'll be fine.

Please.

I'll be good.

Come on, please.

Come on.

Come on, please.

No, no, don't leave!

Please, no!

Cutting it close, Locusts.

Elimination report.

I'm sorry.

Two targets, one visitor,

eliminated.

And an unknown in the upstairs

closet.

Eliminated?

Clock ran out.

You guys are k*lling me.

Run intel was bullshit.

- A visitor, an unknown-

- I got it, I got it.

- And your rogue?

- Inside.

Law followed.

His first and last run.

Let's hope you guys

didn't come up with seven

in the oh f*ck slots.

Between you and me,

there were five unmarkeds

on first runs tonight.

The One's grandson was

on one of those runs.

She's all gassed up and ready to

go.

I know it's chilly, but shed

those

and don't forget the gloves.

I've got clean and pure

clothes here ready for wear.

You guys have a good 365.

I've got work to do.

Extra work, thanks to you guys.

Did you not hear us?

- The intel was-

- Yeah, yeah.

f*ck.

Bad run.

Hey.

What happened?

- Who are you?

- Are you okay?

Don't come any closer.

I'm with the gas company.

There's been all kinds of crazy

stuff.

- What happened to the-

- What are you doing here?

The neighbor smelled gas

and called the gas company,

but what the hell's going on

here?

No no, don't come any closer!

I'm here to help you.

Are you okay?

Stay back, stay back!

Honey, I'm here for

you, I'm here to help you.

What happened?

Are you okay?

She's dead.

Who's dead?

Tell me what happened.

Tell me about it.

Let me help you.

Tell me, what happened, sweetie?

What happened?

Shh.

It's okay.
