Candyman (2021)/Transcript

Burke: But the first one, where it all began, was in the 1890s. It's the story Helen found, the story of Daniel Robatille. He made a good living touring the country, painting portraits for wealthy families. Mostly white. And they loved it. But you know how it goes; they love what we make, but not us. One day, he's commissioned to paint the daughter of a Chicago factory owner who made his fortune in the stockyards. Well, Robatille committed the ultimate sin of his time. They fell in love. They had an affair, she got pregnant. The girl tells her father and, well... you know. He hires some men to hunt Robatille down, told 'em to "get creative". Chased him through here in the middle of the day. He collapses from exhaustion right where the old tower in Chestnut used to be. They beat him. Tortured him. They... cut off his arm and jab a meat hook in the stump, they smear honeycomb from the nearby hives on his chest and let the bees sting him. A crowd started to form to watch the show. The big finale? They set him on fire, and he finally dies. But a story like that... Pain like that... lasts forever. That's Candyman.
Anthony: So... He's real?
Burke: Bell is real! Samuel Sherman! Daniel Robatille, they're all real! Candyman is how we deal with the fact that these things happened! That they're still happening! Get some rest, youngblood. You'll feel better in the morning.
Anthony: Why did you lie?
Anne-Marie: To protect you.
Anthony: From what?
Anne-Marie: I just wanted you to grow up happy and normal...
Anthony: Do I look normal, Mom? I have to know. Now.
Anne-Marie: When you first got taken, I thought she was the one who did... When you first got taken, I thought she was the one who did it. Helen. The way I found her in our apartment, covered in blood. They all thought she was crazy. But it wasn't her. It was him. He had a purpose for you. He chose you to be one of his victims. He wanted you to burn in that fire, but she pulled you out and gave you back to me. I thought it ended that night. In the fire, I thought she ended it. And we vowed to never say his name again. But... someone broke the pact, and...
Anthony: He found me.
Candyman: Tell everyone.
