Law Abiding Citizen Page #4

Synopsis: Clyde Shelton's family is brutally murdered. The ones responsible are caught. However, because of improper procedure, the D.A., Nick Rice only has circumstantial evidence. So he decides to get one of them to testify against the other. When Shelton learns of this, he is not happy. Ten years later, the one who was convicted is being executed but something goes wrong; his execution goes awry and he suffers. They learn that someone tampered with the machine. And the other one is found dead, killed in a gruesome manner. Rice suspects Shelton, so he has him picked up. At first, Shelton agrees to a plea agreement with Rice but changes his mind. It appears that Shelton is not done, it appears he blames the whole system and is declaring war on it going after everyone involved with his family's case. So Rice has to stop him but Shelton is way ahead of him.

What now?

Wipe the prints off the gun.

Get rid of it.

No, no, no

- You fired six times, genius

You bring any ammunition?

Lose it.

Why are you doing this?

- I wanna keep you out of prison.

See the abandoned factories?

Go toward them.

Why?

There's a cop car there.

With a cop in it.

What the f***!

I tazered him, but

he will be waking

up in under 90 seconds.

So better move.

Rise and f***ing shine, b*tch

Wake the f*** up.

Let's go. Start the f***ing car.

Okay. Take it easy.

- Do it. Come on.

Take it easy.

Lets go, lets go!

Get it in gear, shithead. Now!

Do it!

Get the f*** out.

Lets go.

Get the f*** down there.

Hey. What about my

wife, my little girl?

I'll never see them again.

- F***ed up, man.

Ohh, oh oh, you don't mind

if I take this, do you?

My guardian angel.

I am impressed.

You know why I'll never see

my wife and little girl again?

What the...?

Cause you took them from me.

Remember me?

Sure you do.

You came over to my house

once before.

Don't remember?

This Tetrodotoxin should be nicely

in your system by now.

Isolated from the liver of

the Carribean Puffer Fish.

So, it paralyzes you,

but leaves all the other

neurological functions intact.

In other words, you cant move,

but you feel everything.

It does absolutely nothing

to blunt the pain.

And you're about to

experience more of that

than you can ever

f***ing imagine.

???, so you dont bleed out.

You may be here a while.

Saline solution, that should

keep us going.

The clamps, nice and secure.

Comfortable?

You really are shaking.

Sure you're alright?

You'll love this.

Adrenalin.

Now this, is so you

don't pass out.

There you go.

Good.

Now what we dont want,

is you swallowing your tongue

so bare with me.

Now this is for your penis.

But we'll get to that later.

Scalpel, for your eyelids.

In case you insist on

f***ing shutting them.

You see, I know what it

feels like to be helpless,

just like when I watched you

slaughter my whole family.

You can't fight faith,

right Darby?

Oh! And look.

I made this especially for you.

You like it? Yeah, I didn't want

you to miss anything.

Now you have the best

view in the house.

You hear that? Your heart

is beating so fast.

Well, me too. Okay.

Now they get to watch

you suffer.

They'll be the last thing

you ever see.

as I cut off every single one

of your f***ing limbs.

See, I wasn't lying,

when I told you I wanted

to keep you out of prison.

That was the truth.

Thanks for the car.

Okay, these are all the

case files on Darby,

I vetted through what I could,

we have crime scene photos...

Don't want to see them.

Okay

What's bothering you?

- It's Darby

All the crimes he's committed
