The Bear: sh*t going on with my computer, love to get your big brain in there and decode it, last time , you saved my life

Kabul station

Danny; How’s the weather in Istanbul?
Nice try, it’s been five years, you’re still guessing
Danny; I like games


News anchor, Witness Reports of a drone, confirm it was a su**i*e b*mber

500 dead

Sarah: ( on the phone) What are you wearing?
Danny: Sarah?
Sarah: No Sad-am Hussein
Danny: He’s dead
Sarah: Humour

Danny: I track you
I would be hurt if you didn’t

Danny: If you lie down you’ll never get up
Sarah: Is that sage advice from a world traveller?

You look like you’ve seen a ghost
Danny: I was rectifying files, i may have looked somewhere I shouldn’t have
Gone to the department
Danny: Grey area
We don’t do grey areas, discernibly by rank, you keep quiet


You tracking the news?
Danny; Still finding an outlet i can trust
Moore; That’s what we thought when you arrived this morning
We?
Come with me to the directors office


Director; There was an attack in London, near Christopher st hotel
Moore: Your wife was k*lled
Danny: No, she’s at a conference, let’s call her

Two were confirmed including an American
Danny; Doesn’t say it was her
Moore: Believe us

Reporter: How long?

With respect, let us handle this
Danny: Who are you?
I’m going to make sure the people who did this are held to account
Danny; With respect, held to account, how are you doing that?


Danny: The network has nothing to do with Sarah
: But everything to do with the sovereignty and security of this country

Danny: Am I here for me or the agency?
Have to make sure you’re well enough to return to work

Danny: Denial, acceptance
Say more

Pretty useless and angry, really angry
You blame yourself?
Danny: For not going with her because I never do

Danny: I gave them names, they did nothing
What did you want them to do?
Danny: Their job!
Would that make you feel better?
Danny: This isn’t about me, Sarah deserved better, she mattered
This is about you, I can help you, only you can make yourself better

Moore: What do you want?
Us to k*ll the people who k*lled his wife
Danny: No I don’t want you to k*ll them, i want to k*ll them myself, you’ll train me
Moore: I don’t think you can beat an 80 year old nun in an arm wrestling match
Danny: Humour, I want mission specific training

I want a fighting chance

Scrub his life until the dead man switch is found if there is one, if there isn’t, maybe a training accident happens


Henderson; You’re late
Danny: With all due respect I’m
Henderson: You’re late
What are you doing? Do I look like an Uber driver

I’m Colonel Henderson, my friends call me Hendo
You will call me Colonel Henderson, next to God almighty himself, I am the most important person in the world to someone looking to target enemy combatants
Do precisely what I say, you have a slight chance of getting out of this alive
Danny: Slight?
I’m overestimating your odds to boost your confidence

Danny: Guess I’m going to have to get that close
Henderson: Point blank range, fifty fifty chance of actually hitting something
Danny: Overestimating my odds?

Henderson; Might have found something you’re actually good at

Danny: May I keep this?

Henderson; Paralysing isn’t it?

Henderson: The first one you k*ll tells the rest you’re coming, how do you plan to keep the people of Langley off your a*s?
Danny: That’s what I need you to teach me
Henderson: You’re not a k*ller, no amount of training I give you can change that no more than you can teach how to break code
Danny: When the time comes I’ll pull the trigger
Henderson: When the time comes you won’t know what end of the g*n the b*llet comes out

Lockpick fans, today we’re going to learn how to pick an apartment style lock

Danny; All of them
Florist: You must have done something really bad
Danny: Not yet

Danny; It’s pollen

Danny: Tell me where he is! Tell me!

I can’t hear you

Henderson: You want a beer? You surprised me, I can’t tell you how rare that is , it ends here

It doesn’t matter how smart you are, always screw up a good plan if you panic, The aftermath when you realise you’ve done something you can’t undo


Henderson; There is no three volley salute, we are the John Does that are found in the dumpster if you’re found and you won’t

You’re a good teacher Hendo
Henderson: I took that into account
Danny: Fifty fifty , did you ever take into account the things I was good at , base charge on a timer

Inquiline: Wait, he’s not who you’ve looking for

Inquiline: What are you doing here?
Danny: I need your help
Inquiline: No you have nowhere else to go, there’s a difference
Danny: My wife
Inquiline: I know about London, Paris, that was you?
We’re shopping, give me your backpack, now you look less American

Inquiline: Do some shopping, meet in an hour, talk some more

Inquiline: Accidental fall from windows is the number one cause of death for former KGB agents

He taught me everything he was doing, how to mine, data cache, break code

Danny: You think you’re going to fight off the Russians with that?
Inquiline: It’s not for the Russians, it’s for me

Danny; Sun isn’t hitting his glass, vineyard would be angled southwest , architecture looks Spanish


Director: It’s housekeeping time, i need to know where you stand
Moore: Sounds like you want me to go private, write a neat book about my time with the agency


Director: On whose order?
Your lunch date

Danny: He’s following me, I clocked him three times

Inquiline: Your man is here, I I.D’d the man at the bar, he’s also CIA , get out of there
Danny: No, we go as planned

Danny: You put a g*n to my wife’s head
Blavkic: You got the wrong guy
Danny; You didn’t pull the trigger, where’s Ellish?

Danny; This is a device controlling the air that decompresses the sheets of glass beneath you , tell me where he is or swim really fast



Russians suspect his widow is operating on his behalf

No money until I inspect the hardware
Danny: You just triggered an IED, drop the lid, move away or cross the beam, it detonates
Danny: Do you see the photograph?
Yes, yes, I see the photograph

You took her life for no reason
I didn’t

Danny: Where? You deliver this stuff to him, these missiles , where do you deliver it?
Russian waters
Danny: That’s 2500 miles of coastline, you’re of no use to me
Wait! Wait!
Danny: Too vague

Their names are Simon and Kristof, I’m not messing around
Where are you going?
Danny; If you jump really fast, you might just survive the blast

Inquiline: I want nothing from you, i just want to sleep one night beside another person

Who are you looking for?
Danny Heller, My assassin
The Bear: What’s an assassin look like?
Could be anyone, even a nerdy computer geek , problem is he has this dream to rehab, fly around the world, prove he’s not afraid

How do you leave Russia? Leave in a box, find you a future in this field
Heeler; I thought you just said I didn’t have a future
The Bear; I’m not going to pretend to know what’s going on with you, you honoured her, do you think she would want you to die?
Go home
Danny: I can’t go home
Why not?
She’s, she’s not there


Ellish: Not very impressive
Danny: Next to cargo beneath the hatches
Ellish: I might be a little insulted
Who is coming after me?

Danny: Look in the face of the man who m*rder*d my wife, say Sarah mattered
So this is all your revenge? Charlie’s revenge
I remember your wife, she took the place of someone else, it was necessary, the police blocked our exit, we had to show them what would happen
Danny: Necessary?

You can say there’s no blood on your hands, doesn’t mean you’re weak, means you’re truly not a k*ller

Danny: There it is, what I came for

Danny: You must be running out of lives
Henderson: And you keep on surprising me
Danny: Doing what you taught me
What you did, you can’t teach that
