THE CROW: SALVATION script

Alex Corvis is wrongfully executed for his girlfriend Lauren's murder but is resurrected by a crow, escaping the morgue to seek revenge. He systematically eliminates the corrupt police officers and a lying witness involved in Lauren's death, carving "Daisy" into their bodies, while Lauren's sister Erin and attorney Peter Walsh help uncover a larger conspiracy involving Lauren's father and a corrupt police Captain. After Nathan and Walsh are killed, Alex confronts the remaining officers in a violent shootout at a club, leading to more deaths. Alex pursues the Captain, who has kidnapped Erin, to Garrison Prison and executes him in the same death chamber where Alex was wrongfully killed, then disappears as Erin finds peace visiting the graves of Alex and Lauren.

Dialogue examples

I'm not dying for your goddamn illusions. You got that? You think you and your girlfriend had some rosy future ahead of you? Bullshit. She was already bored, why do you think she was looking around? You're nothing, Corvis! Less than nothing.

Captain / Scene 59

Places like that, they're about unreported cash, processing money from drugs, prostitution. I took a chance, called asking for Larkin and Toomey, the two other cops. Whoever answered said "they're not here... this is the front office."

Peter Walsh / Scene 44

What's been holding me together is the hope that maybe you do go someplace. And I'll be seeing her again soon. Only what will I say? That I was too stupid to find the guy who killed her? That he's down here laughing?

Alex Corvis / Scene 5

When Lauren was missing the police came to our house. They said they were looking for her, right? But I know now they had her, and the reason they brought her here and knew the could blame it on you...

Erin Randall / Scene 39

Bitch killed herself when she shot a cop in the leg. If she' just acted like a girl nothing would have happened. So you're right, spooky. Happy?

Dutton / Scene 21

Police? Evidence? Look. I like what we've got going here. But I can think of lots better to do with it than fighting crime. Know what I mean?

Alex Corvis / Scene 16

Lauren's father's involved. He bought the cops fancy cars, I don't know what else. It's a company called D-E-L-T. I think Lauren found out.

Alex Corvis / Scene 37

She was eighteen years old! There were four of them. They stabbed her fifty three times! Where's the fucking accident?! Huh?! Where is it?!

Nathan Randall / Scene 42
