Redwood Massacre: Annihilation

No, please, please, no, no, no!

Honey, I'm home.

Where are you?

There you are.

You had me worried for a moment.

I'm afraid it's not good news for you.

In fact, it hasn't been a good week for you, Pamela.

Has it?

Hmm.

What am I to do with you?

Just isn't working out, is it?

It's a shame when you started off so well.

We really thought we were going to be a good team.

Now, of course I blame myself.

I'm too compassionate, too kind.

Maybe more of an aggressive approach is what is needed.

Maybe I've been going about this the wrong way, huh?

I'm starting to believe that I might've been

too easy on you.

oh, Pammy, Pamela, Pamela, oh come on.

Oh, oh.

It's okay.

It's okay.

You're a mess.

Maybe we should start over.

What do you say, huh?

Fresh start.

You know, I really admire what he's done.

I really do.

It's quite a beautiful thing

if you think about it.

I have to admit, I'm jealous.

There, I've said it.

I really just have to meet him sometime.

Now, why don't we try this again, Pamela.

Now, we both know what's gonna happen

if you can't be honest with me.

You know, this partnership, isn't gonna work

if you're gonna hold back.

46 square miles of land is a lot to cover.

So you gotta be a little bit more specific this time.

Hey, hey.

If I wouldn't know any better,

I would say you're just stalling for time.

So, I've got this all wrong, have I?

If I knew where he was,

I would've told you.

Huh?

If I knew where he was-

I'm so sorry, I apologize.

My, my manners.

There you go.

Okay, take your time.

Shhh.

Remember why you're here.

Yeah?

What did I tell you about begging?

Sorry.

Now where's the house he took you and your friends to?

I've already told you everything.

Pamela, this isn't fair.

This is supposed to be a fresh start.

It's not far from where

you found his mask, I promise.

So you keep saying,

and yet here we are, again.

I can't tell you how disappointed I am.

You feel this?

You're dying, Pamela.

I don't know how much more of this you can take.

Please.

Please.

I'm telling you the truth.

I know you, but it's just so much fun.

Good morning.

And thank you all for coming.

My name, as I'm sure you're all aware, is Tom Dempsey.

So 10 years ago, my daughter,

Sarah went on a camping trip with her friends

and she never came home.

This book documents my investigation into the murders

and the years that I spent searching for her.

Over 76 people have gone missing

in this area in less than 30 years

and for a town with a population of some 6,000,

that's a pretty terrifying statistic.

Only one person survived to tell the story.

So is she telling the truth or was she responsible for the

disappearance of her friends?

We've all heard the Redwood Massacre horror story.

So how come the local authorities refuse to investigate?

What is it they're not telling us?

What is it they're hiding?

Interesting fact number three and probably the most salient

point of this subject,

none of these missing persons have ever turned up.

No bodies, no explanations, no answers, nothing.

I'm a big fan of your work.

I'm very glad to hear it.

Who should I make it out to?

If you could make out to Max, please.

Thanks.

I caught your last lecture.

I found it most interesting.

Most people do.

It's just a pity the people who matter

tend to ignore my findings.

I'm not like most people.

Well, Max, like the saying goes,

the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil

is for good men to do nothing.

1920, Edmund Burke.

Pretty appropriate, right?

Yeah, it's a rather amusing quote.

Well, there you go.

I have something I want you to see.

Well, to be honest, Max,

I'm a little pushed for time right now,

so maybe you could catch me at my next signing.

Judging by your last a turnout,

I don't think that's possible.

I'll take my chances now.

Well, I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed.

I know you want to find them as much as I do.

Okay, Max.

what is it that you have for me that's so important?

Redemption, vindication,

and the ending to your next bestselling book.

And how are you going to achieve that?

Well, by finding the man who's responsible

for these terrible murders.

I mean, look at it this way.

Tom Dempsey, the man who proved the existence

of the infamous Redwood killer.

We know what the local community thinks about your theories.

You're a joke to them.

I can change all that.

So is this gonna take long?

I'm supposed to be meeting friends for dinner, so...

Not long.

I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Come on

Max.

Max.

I'm in here.

So, who's the couple in the photos?

It's my sister's house.

She's visiting friends with her husband.

I'm taking care of the place.

Huh.

Interesting house.

It's quiet.

Just the way I like it.

So Max, is this gonna take much longer?

I really do have to get back.

Jesus!

Christ, you scared the shit out of me.

What is this?

Some kind of joke?

Is that what I think it is?

I thought you'd never ask.

She's impressive.

She should be.

She's my daughter.

Okay, so just let me do all the talking.

Okay?

We really don't want to piss her off.

Laura, we need to talk.

There's something I need to show you.

Not interested.
