Post by bunniefuu »

JOE: Listen to me. Do exactly as I say.

There are people in the

house. Two of them downstairs.

Get the kids. It's time to run.

- JULES: Get in the car.

- (LOUD THUD)

(CHILDREN SCREAM)

- FRANKIE: Dad!

- JOE: Jules?

JULES: We're okay. We're okay.

JOE: We need to find out

who hired this k*ller.

- We set a trap with one of us as bait.

- No. That is a very bad idea.

- I'll do it.

- AZAR: I'll be bait.

- (GRUNTING IN PAIN)

- JOE: It's not him. It's not the k*ller.

(MUFFLED SCREAM)

DEVIL: I have you now.

- (SPECIALIST GROANS)

- It's time.

- (OFFICER YELPS)

- (GROANS)

- DEVIL: You don't know what you took.

- We took money.

- You stole the key.

- What key?

DEVIL: Have you asked Dianne

Harewood these questions?

Dianne's dead.

DEVIL: We pulled 13 bodies

from the rubble of that place.

No Dianne Harewood.

(expl*si*n)

- How is your family?

- Just tell me who you work for.

They'll be found and

they'll be tortured.

- Who do you work for?

- And they'll be f*cking

- AZAR: What do we do now?

- Now we find Dianne.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)

RIGHT HAND: I'll come

back for one more bag.

DIANNE: We're out of time. Go.

- RIGHT HAND: We're still good. I can make it.

- DIANNE: We've got enough.

Get out, Right Hand!

JOE: Right, this is my last.

DIANNE: Right behind you.

Good luck.

JOE: I'll see you at the meet.

(DIANNE GRUNTS)

(CHILL MUSIC)

Wait, wait, wait.

(GRUNTS)

- (MUFFLED CHATTER)

- (APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)

(CAR CHIRPS)

(OFFICER GROANS)

Hurry up.

Go open his eyes.

No. I'll hold the phone, and

you can puppeteer the dead guy.

Just open his eyes.

(OFFICER GROANS IN DISGUST)

(PHONE CLICKS)

- JOE: Got it.

- (OFFICER EXCLAIMS)

What are you looking for?

Something that leads us to Dianne.

If he knew where Dianne was,

he would have skipped us

and gone right to her, no?

WOMAN VOICE: Please, please. I

don't know where Dianne Harewood is.

- Please.

- (BABY CRIES)

OFFICER: Who's that?

- Doctor.

- AZAR: He recorded her?

- (BABY CRYING)

- DOCTOR: No, no. Please stop!

(SOBBING, SCREAMING)

OFFICER: All right, um

We need to move. We've been

here way too long already.

OFFICER: David.

Right.

David.

David, we need to get

all the bodies in the car

- and get the f*ck out of here.

- Just give me one second. All right?

- JOE: f*ck.

- AZAR: What?

- What have you found?

- Location stamps.

JOE: Doctor's house, Driver's

house, where Soldier was found.

My house in America,

Malek's house in Spain.

There's one more. I don't recognize it.

- Somewhere in Kent.

- OFFICER: Who lives there?

Doesn't say.

Do you think it's Dianne?

It doesn't say.

But you're right.

We need to clean up and

get the f*ck out of here.

Right now.

(WHIRRING)

What are you doing back here? You're

supposed to be making your exit.

RIGHT HAND: Figured I

had time for one more bag.

What's behind the painting, Dianne?

(DIANNE GRUNTS) We

haven't got time for this.

RIGHT HAND: What's in your

pocket? What did you take?

Are you sure you want to play this game?

We go back a long way, Dianne.

I think I've earned the right

to be treated as an equal.

The backup security

team are here. Repeat.

The backup is here. They're early.

OFFICER: You got to get the f*ck out.

- DIANNE: Get out of my way.

- RIGHT HAND: Cut me in.

- Whatever it is, cut me in.

- You already cut into the money.

I know you, Dianne. I

want what's in your pocket.

I can be an ally. Bring me in.

Okay, I'll cut you in.

- How much are we talking?

- Eight figures.

- Plus cash?

- Fine.

Just go! I'll get the door.

I need back up ASAP. I am being

threatened by men with g*ns.

- (g*n COCKS)

- (METAL DOOR CREAKS)

(g*nshots)

RIGHT HAND: That's

why I like you, Dianne.

You're always one step ahead.

Fixer, are you close?

FIXER: Hey. Yeah, I'm close.

DIANNE: We have a problem.

Right Hand went off book.

FIXER: sh*t.

He's become a thr*at.

We have to let him go.

- FIXER: You sure?

- DIANNE: Do it.

- (g*nsh*t)

- (AZAR SCREAMS)

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC)

(CAR DOOR OPENS)

Bye, Inga.

- (FIRE BLASTS)

- (GLASS SHATTERS)

(SPEAKING ARABIC)

(MELANCHOLIC MUSIC CONTINUES)

Hey, when are you going

to stop being angry at me?

I didn't spend it all.

The money, I didn't

I didn't blow through it in six months.

Well, I spent some of it,

of course. I'm not weird

like you.

I bought myself a house. Nothing

huge, nothing crazy, just

It has an orchard.

An almond orchard.

Thinking about it makes me

happy and sad at the same time.

You know?

(MALEK SPEAKS ARABIC)

It's my father.

- (DEVIL SPEAKS ARABIC)

- Azar, no.

JOE: Don't listen to that.

(MALEK SPEAKS ARABIC)

- I need to hear it.

- (DEVIL SPEAKS ARABIC)

OFFICER: He's right, Azar.

- Give me the phone.

- Be quiet!

(SNIFFLES)

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

This our exit.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

(LIGHT MUSIC PLAYING)

Are you prepared?

- For the job?

- DIANNE: For what comes after.

Shedding your skin and

becoming something new.

Not literally, of course.

You know, you're

not quite how I imagined.

What did you imagine?

- Well, from the stories I heard, it's

- DIANNE: Tell me then.

The stories you heard.

No.

Humor me.

You, um

You once k*lled the whole

crew because you thought that

one of them was maybe a rat.

Next.

You're the person who tortured

those cops in Berlin last year.

Next.

JOE: Your sister betrayed you.

So you k*lled her by

locking her in a car

and setting it on fire.

Interesting.

- You think I'd k*ll my own family?

- I really don't know.

It's half true.

My sister d*ed in a burning car,

but I didn't k*ll her.

The defective car did that.

k*lled her daughter too.

My niece.

The only family I had left.

You shouldn't believe

everything you hear, Muscle.

The truth is always far

crappier than fiction.

(TENSE MUSIC)

OFFICER: Which one is it?

It's there on my right.

(CLATTERS)

Wait.

You don't know what

you're walking into there.

- It could be a hornet's nest.

- JOE: Maybe.

We've got to find anything

that leads us to Dianne,

and this is all we have,

so I'm going in there.

And you're coming with me.

I need you to stay here

as lookout.

We might have to make a quick exit.

Can you do that for me?

Yeah.

Okay.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER IN DISTANCE)

- OFFICER: So, what's the plan here?

- (CAR DOOR CLOSES)

We'll knock on the door,

and then you're going to talk us inside.

Whoever opens that door, whoever

it is, whoever they are

I need you to get them

to invite us in. Okay?

Oh, so, you're actually

trusting me with something?

I'm asking you to help.

Okay.

(DOORBELL DINGS)

- And it's "whomever."

- What?

"Whomever" opens that

door. "Whomever" they are.

- No, it's not.

- Pretty sure it is.

Just try to keep up.

(DOOR OPENS)

OFFICER: Oh. Hello. Is your daddy home?

Daddy's not here.

Okay, what about your mommy, then?

BOY: Mom?

Mom?

JOE: Look. It's Right Hand.

- GWEN: Can I help you?

- I hope so. Are you Gwen Irving?

- Who are you?

- My name is Lorna Bowers.

This is my colleague,

George La Rochelle.

Hello.

OFFICER: We work as researchers

for Elgin Lewis and Partners.

They're a firm of probate lawyers.

- Well, I don't need a lawyer.

- OFFICER: No, of course not.

But did you know that

two-thirds of people die

without ever making a will?

Which means, every year,

millions of pounds of

inheritances go unclaimed.

- Okay.

- OFFICER: Well, that's where we step in.

We try to find people like

you who are owed an inheritance

and unite them with

their rightful money.

- Of course, we do take a small commission.

- You think I'm owed some money?

OFFICER: We do, yes.

Um, but obviously, first

we need to make sure

that you are the correct Gwen Irving.

So, do you mind if we just

come in and chat with you

for a couple of minutes?

- No, sorry. Now's not a good time

- OFFICER: Okay, sure, but

GWEN: Hey. Hey, what are you doing?

You need to drop that Kn*fe.

What?

Please put down the Kn*fe.

Now, give me your phone.

Phone.

Go in the living room and

get the kids' phones too.

Please take whatever you want,

but just don't hurt my kids.

Do as we say, and no one gets hurt.

Get their phones.

Now.

- Kelly, Jake, I need your phones.

- What for?

- Just give me them now.

- Hey, I was using it. Jesus.

- Who the hell are you?

- I'm nobody.

No, no, no. Don't get

up. Stay sat right there.

Everything's fine.

Keep playing the game.

Pretend we're not here, okay?

Gwen.

Just keep playing the game.

Do as he says. Right now.

Phones.

Go ahead.

Who's this?

- That's my husband.

- JOE: What's his name?

Anton.

He'll be back in a minute,

so take the phones

I know he's not coming back,

Gwen. Please don't lie to me.

I know that he's dead.

Keep your eyes on the game.

Your husband was a criminal, Gwen.

I know that because I'm a

criminal too. We worked together.

- He wasn't a criminal.

- JOE: He was a career criminal

and a good one.

So either you're lying to

me, or he hid it from you.

Which is it?

You knew he was a criminal.

JOE: Okay.

Please

don't lie to me again.

Do you understand?

Do you know a woman

called Dianne Harewood?

She hired me.

She hired your husband.

She knew him already. They

worked together before.

A few times, maybe.

Do you know her?

No.

Think carefully.

Dianne Harewood.

Do you recognize the name?

No.

My mate Paul, he thinks

you're proper fit.

Hey, I'm talking to you.

Oh, well, f*ck you, then.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

JOE: Look at the photo.

Do you recognize this woman?

No.

Look again.

You're scaring my kids,

please. Just leave.

The job we did The job

we did with your husband

We stole from some

very dangerous people.

And those people are hunting us

down, hunting our families down, Gwen.

- To get back what we took.

- Then give it back.

Whatever it is you

stole, just give it back.

I want to.

That's why I need to

find Dianne Harewood.

I told you I don't know

anyone called Dianne.

She's lying.

No, I swear to you, I'm not

lying. I don't know any

- She's lying.

- JOE: I know. It's okay, it's okay.

I understand. You don't

want to say anything

that will get you into trouble.

I mean, you don't know us.

And I say I worked with Dianne

with your husband, but

I could be lying. I could be a cop.

We could be the people Anton robbed.

We could be working with

Dianne and testing your loyalty.

You don't know.

The problem is

Gwen.

I'm telling the truth.

And I can't leave here until

you tell me the truth too.

Because there's a

danger coming towards us.

Towards you.

So I need you to help me to stop it.

I'm going to ask you

one more time.

Look at the picture

and tell me.

Do you know this woman?

- (LOUD KNOCK ON DOOR)

- Ignore it.

Answer my question.

- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

- (DOORBELL DINGS)

Get rid of them. Whoever they are.

Can you hurry this up?

- Who are you?

- JOE: She's with us.

Gwen, look at me, not

her. Gwen, look at me.

- You were about to tell me something.

- What's taking so long?

Gwen, please. Look at the

photo. You know her, don't you?

- AZAR: Who's she?

- OFFICER: She's Right Hand's widow.

JOE: Gwen, please.

- JOE: Gwen.

- I can't.

Just calm down. Just look

at me. Just talk to me.

All you have to do is

tell me what you know.

Just tell him. Please. Tell him.

(SOBS)

It's okay.

Oh, f*ck this. Answer the question.

- JOE: No, no, no! Put the g*n away.

- Answer the question!

Azar, put the f*cking

g*n down! It's okay.

It's okay, she's not going to hurt you.

- Yes, I will. Oh, yes, I will.

- JOE: Shut the f*ck up

- and put the g*n away, Azar.

- Tell us where Dianne is.

Azar! Calm down. You don't

want to do this right

- Don't tell me what to do.

- Okay.

Yeah, you don't tell me anything.

AZAR: Yeah?

You, talk.

- Now.

- I

- AZAR: Talk.

- Please.

Talk.

- Look, Gwen, I don't want to hurt you.

(RINGTONE PLAYING)

It's not for me.

That call.

It's not for me.

- It's for you.

- JOE: Excuse me?

He's calling for you. Answer it.

Why would he be calling for me?

Answer it.

(RINGTONE CONTINUES)

Hello?

GARETH: Are you the man with the g*n?

- Who is this?

- Look outside.

Keep the g*n on her.

- What's going on?

- Just keep your f*cking g*n on her.

Now, listen, you're gonna

give your g*ns to the lady,

and you're gonna come

out with your arms raised.

You understand me?

Who are you?

MAN: We're the consequences

of your actions.

No.

Go away, or I start

hurting people in here.

MAN: Now, see?

Why did you have to go and say that?

- I was being reasonable.

- Back away and leave now!

- You just missed your last exit.

- What the f*ck does that even

JOE: She was gonna talk.

If you hadn't come in and

stuck a f*cking g*n in her face,

she would've told us.

f*ck. Now we have nothing.

Azar.

AZAR: "Corporal Robert Yates."

Who's Corporal Robert Yates?

Fuse.

This is Fuse. Corporal Robert Yates.

Fuse and Right Hand knew each other.

So Fuse knew Dianne from before

Is this how we treat a

guest? Take that thing out.

You okay? You want a glass of water?

Bring him some water.

I apologize.

They jump at any opportunity

to show off their party tricks.

They rarely get the chance.

Thank you.

It's water.

Better?

I think perhaps we should have a talk

David.

Don't you?

Who are you?

Me?

I'm the man you robbed.

You destroyed my building.

You broke my vault.

You took what's mine.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Please, can we skip this

bit? I know who you are.

I know what you did. I know

where you've been hiding.

I even know all about your fiancé.

And your kids.

I know they recently

crossed the Canadian border

using false passports.

- Listen

- I know everything, David.

I know.

Do you know where they are?

Don't you?

Do you have them?

Thank you.

My employees are not far behind.

Please, please, please. Please!

Please, they have

They have nothing to

do with this. Please.

I swear to f*cking God, you

f*cking touch them, I'll k*ll you.

That's what I like about the family

men. They've got so much to lose.

I'd offer you one,

but you can only get

Corbeaus in Switzerland,

and I'm running short.

What do you want?

I want my property back.

You sent the assassin.

So he found you?

Yet here you are, still alive.

That's interesting.

Did you k*ll him?

Of course, you did.

Because you're David

Marking, the man that kills.

I don't k*ll anymore.

I don't know.

I think you may have

one more k*lling in you.

Coffee?

I'd like a coffee. Do you want a coffee?

Can I get a double espresso

with a hint of sugar?

You know how I like it.

Have you seen this before?

Do you know what it means?

No.

David, you humiliated me.

You and your friends

made me feel violated.

Vulnerable.

Made me angry, David.

Very angry.

So now, you must die.

Today.

In just a short while, actually.

And after this, I'm

going to find your family,

- and I'm going to k*ll them too.

- Please. No. Please.

- My No.

- They must be made to suffer.

JOE: No.

- Please.

- (DOOR OPENS, CLOSES)

- Please.

- (APPROACHING FOOTSTEPS)

Coffee.

You sure you don't want one?

Thank you.

Now, I'm assuming you

don't want to die today.

Yes?

And you want your family to live too.

Now, listen, I can do

that for you quite simply.

But for that to happen, you

will have to do something first.

I need you to k*ll Dianne Harewood.

What?

I need you to k*ll Harewood.

Because she robbed you?

Because she's trying to destroy me.

- I don't even know where Dianne is.

- VINCENT: The expl*sives expert, Fuse?

Before he d*ed, he gave us a

method of contacting Harewood.

Then use it. Get her yourself.

I'm not a k*ller. I'm a businessman.

She has something I need.

She stole it from me.

The key.

- You know about it?

- JOE: Your man asked me for it.

You know what it is?

- No.

- VINCENT: Marian.

(HEELS CLACKING)

Thank you.

Fun fact, Marian once

sang opera at La Scala.

It was just once. It was

an amateur production.

It was beautiful.

Now, this.

VINCENT: This is the

key. Seen this before?

Harewood has it. Don't know where.

But if she thinks that we're

close, then she will destroy it.

And David, we cannot

allow her to destroy it.

So we need to coax her to reveal it.

JOE: But how can I get her to

give it up? She won't listen to me.

Tell her the expl*sive

expert said something to you.

Before he d*ed, he gave

a message to tell her

he found out where

Hawkes is hiding the box.

- Who's Hawkes?

- I am.

- And what's the box?

- The box is the thing the key opens.

What the others were

saying to the contractor

was that she likes you.

She saw something in you,

perhaps even trusts you.

You know, in an abattoir

the workers always keep a cow,

a cow that they never slaughter.

And they use this cow

to lead the other cows

down the slope to the k*lling floor.

The other cows,

they follow this traitor cow

because she's one of their own.

So they follow her

freely, calmly, happily,

down to their deaths.

Find Dianne. Find the key.

Lead her to the k*lling floor.

And when you've secured the

key, put a g*n to her head,

pull the trigger, and

bring the key to me.

I don't k*ll anymore.

Your fiance, those kids, do you love

them? Do you want to protect them?

Do you think you deserve this family?

Deserve this life?

The man that you are pretending to be,

this Joseph person, that's not you.

You're not the family

man. You're the k*ller.

If you don't k*ll

Harewood and return my key,

first, Jules will be k*lled

in front of your kids.

- Then Frankie.

- (CHAIN CLANGING)

Then Frankie will be

k*lled in front of Bud.

Then, only when he is broken

and crying and calling for you,

the boy will be k*lled.

(BREATHES SHAKILY)

So your choice is very simple, David.

Be a dead man and lose your family

or be you and save them.

Who are you going to be?

Joseph, the man who lies,

or David, the man who kills?

I'm gonna be me.

- I'm gonna be David.

- VINCENT: Yes?

Yes.

And you will k*ll Harewood.

I'll k*ll whoever you want.
