"Look, Leonard, I know how you feel." "Really, I do, but this is very important." "She needs to get back to work." "I know she isn't very strong, but she can still kill a man with her bare hands." "Don't you forget who taught her that." "I'm here today with Professor Houlden, and he has something very exciting to share with us all." "It is a momentous day for science and humankind alike." "Isn't that right, Dr. Houlden?" "Yes, that's correct." "Could you tell us why?" "Well, my team of scientists have discovered a way to create wormholes here on Earth." "Could you tell us a little more about these wormholes?" "Yes, wormholes allow matter to travel from one point in space to another quicker than light can travel the same path." "And this could be used to foster time travel?" "Well, theoretically yes, but that would require the manipulation and control of the space-time continuum, and right now, we're not at that point." "That would take a lot more research and controlling for..." "Good morning." "How'd you sleep?" "Pretty damn well." "Training will do that to you." "I didn't work you too hard last night, did I?" "You never do." "So, you must be ready, then?" "I'm always ready." "Come get some breakfast." "Hi." "Can I help you?" "I'm here to see Professor Houlden." "Are you the research assistant?" "Yeah." "There was an ad in the paper." "Take any one of those elevators behind you to the 12th floor, room 63, and I'll call the professor and let him know you're on your way up." "All right." "Thanks." "Are you going to the 12th floor?" "Yeah, I am." "You're not here to see Professor Houlden, are you?" "I am, actually." "Are you coming?" "It's simple." "All you have to do is ride the elevator for a few minutes." "It's painless." "When you're done, just come right back here." "Good evening." "My name is Bill Mixon, and I've come to spread the good news." "Have you considered surrendering your will to God?" "Romek Tarlowski..." "born in Warsaw, moved to East London at the age of five, spent time in Petersburg as a thief." "I know you speak English." "What do you want?" "I have a job for you." "I'm on vacation." "Take a look at this figure and reconsider." "You'll be getting a phone call within 24 hours." "Bill!" "Don't call me." "Cunt."

"Has she been training?" "No, no." "Not for a while, now." "You know, I haven't seen you kids in some time." "Yeah, to be honest, Boss, she's been better off." "Really?" "You know, I seem to remember the two of you being, well, you know, lost when I first met you." "I didn't mean that she was..." "You didn't mean..." "You didn't mean what?" "Look, Leonard, I know how you feel, really, I do, but this is very important." "I still need her." "She owes me this much." "You do, too." "She needs to get back to work." "She needs to get back to work, and you need to help her." "I know she isn't very strong, but she can still kill a man with her bare hands." "Don't you forget who taught her that." "I never will." "The job is a group of scientists, physics experts, et cetera." "We'll be calling 'em The Black Coats." "Why The Black Coats?" "Because they have an affinity for black peacoats, and it's simple." "Just get started." "I'll call you when I need you." "You don't want to do this, you don't have to." "No, let's just do it." "Why?" "I need the money." "I owe him anyway."

"You gotta be kidding me." ""The RATTS"?" "What the hell does that mean?" "Renegades Against Time Travel." "Yeah, since when do we need help?" "Uh-huh." "When do we start?" "Right." "Let's get down to business." "Right." "Here's the plan." "We're going to send you back, um, in time." "Right, time travel." "Here's how it works." "You open up a wormhole..." "I'm not interested in your faggoty mathematics!" "I just want to know if it's going to work." "And if it does work, am I going to die?" "And if I don't die, how am I going to make it back?" "I can assure you that it works." "We have tested the process several times." "You will not be hurt." "When you're done, it will be your responsibility to open up another wormhole and proceed through it back here." "What insurance do I have that I will make it back?" "We are very serious about our work." "We will pay you half now... and half when you return." "So what's to stop me from killing you right now and taking all your money?" "Mr. Tarlowski... we control time." "There is nothing you can do to me that my associates could not undo and then do to you." "So who's the target?" "You've got to be shitting me." "I shit you not." "Where did you get this?" "I swiped it from Houlden's office." "This is unbelievable." "The Black Coats want to go back in time and assassinate him?" "Do you have any idea what might happen if they get away with this?" "The scary thing is I really don't." "No one does." "Where are you going?" "Boss said I got a meeting with a group, call themselves the RATTS." "Oh, uh, did he tell you what the job was?" "Bunch of scientists." "Radio name?" "The Black Coats." "Oh." "I'll be back later." "Wait." "Take this." "So you're telling me we have to kill Adolf Hitler?" "No." "We have to stop the man that's gonna kill him." "How do we even know that's possible?" "Boss says it is, and I don't think it even matters." "A mark is a mark." "Let's say he could travel back in time." "How would he possibly get past the S.S.?" "Get to him before there were any." "I told you we didn't have to do this." "I told you that you didn't owe Boss anything." "I know your grandfather was in the war, but we can't let these guys do this." "Serena, if things didn't go exactly the way they did, this could be a far worse world than we're living in right now." "If Hitler never happened, then somebody else would have done the same thing... somebody more successful." "If we don't go down there..." "Give me my gun back." "We're going on recon tomorrow." "Boss said The Black Coats are having a meeting at a warehouse outside of town." "Is that all?" "For shit's sake, don't you knock?" "What happened to all the grenades?" "We used them." "Wow." "What do we need grenades for, anyway?" "I thought this was recon." "It is recon, but you never know what could happen." "I know what's gonna happen." "We're gonna sit in a car all day, or we're gonna sit in a dumpster all day, or we're gonna sit on a fucking toilet all day, and we're not gonna..." "reconnaisize anything." ""Reconnaisize"?" "Shut up." "I'll take the M4." "You take the vest." "No, you take the vest." "It doesn't fit me, anyway." "No way." "Why not?" "'Cause I'm not taking the rifle and the vest." "It's unfair." "Besides, you're a girl." "You take the vest." "I don't want it." "Who's this guy?" "That's the triggerman Houlden hired." "He doesn't look so tough." "I've got a clear shot." "I'll wait 30 seconds." "I'll pull the car around." "He will take the shot in half a minute." "Sounds exciting." "Don't worry." "I'm sure this will work." "Do I sound worried to you?" "Do you think I'm going to Wallace all over my brand-new shiny shoes?" "No, not at all, actually." "Listen, you've got 20 seconds." "15, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10," "9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4... 3... 2..." "Duck." "Fucking hell, you were right." "Of course." "How else would I have known they were going to shoot you at exactly that second?" "Last time, you got shot." "We couldn't let that happen again." "Can't believe it." "I had him." "He dropped right as I pulled the trigger." "I had him." "He knew everything we were going to do." "How?" "I don't know." "I mean, even if they knew where we were... he dropped right as I pulled the trigger." "That's impossible." "Unless..." "Unless what?" "Unless we already shot him." "Already shot him?" "What?" "Maybe... we already killed him." "What are you talking about?" "You missed." "I didn't miss the first time." "You can't be serious." "I shot him." "They undid it." "They undid it?" "Yeah, they figured out where we were, when we shot... everything." "They went back in time." "Then they made sure we failed." "But this isn't the past." "It's the present." "Only to us." "If that's what happened, how are we going to stop them if they undo every attack we make?" "We have to call the RATTS." "It came at a bad time." "Only his behavior after this murder gave him away." "Ah, come on." "This is crap." "Are you serious?" "This movie's awesome." "The shootouts are amazing." "Uh, no." "This is so unrealistic." "Come on." "Who takes out 50 guys by himself without breaking a fucking fingernail?" "I do." "Yeah, right." "You'd go crying home to your mommy." "Yeah, would I?" ""Mommy, Mommy, I got a hangnail, and I can't kill the bad men."" "Cut it out." "What's the matter with you?" "I'm tired." "I'm tired of hearing that." "Really, what's up?" "I don't know." "I guess I'm still kinda freaked out by all this time-travel stuff." "Yeah?" "I mean... what if all this has already happened?" "What if it's always happening?" "What if it keeps happening over and over again?" "How do you mean?" "You know vinyl, records?" "Like L.P.s?" "Yeah." "What if time is like a record?" "If life just plays out, like a needle passes over it... it seems like it's going somewhere, but... it actually all exists at the same time... the past, the present, the future." "It's just the needle that changes." "What if it's the same thing being played over and over again... the same songs... they never change?" "Why does that bother you?" "Just don't like the idea of living the same life over and over again." "Not this one, anyway." "I think I know what you mean." "Remind yourself of what this is all about." "These bastards may destroy the world as we know it if they pull off time travel." "It may not seem like a bad idea to them, but we don't know what kind of repercussions that could have." "We have to silence everyone with knowledge about this time-travel project." "Boss has Serena and Leonard coordinating their attack at the same time as ours." "Any questions?" "Cyrus?" "Who's the first target?" "Michael Roberts, physics expert." "He started the project with Houlden about six years ago." "Where is he?" "He's about five feet from the right of this van." "Close it!" "I've got some bad news." "What's that?" "The RATTS took out Roberts." "Yeah, yeah, I know." "So you know, do you?" "Yes, they are going to take out the whole team today." "Haven't we got to stop 'em?" "No." "Uh, we're gonna let them go ahead with it up until a point, that is." "What point would that be?" "When they get to me." "So we're just going to let those boy scouts go?" "Yes." "It's all part of the plan." "Eddie!" "Boss." "Tarlowski, heel." "So this is Tarlowski?" "You recommended him." "Yeah, but I never met the guy." "I only heard the stories," "Polack with the fake accent." "Oi, I grew up in London." "You wouldn't shoot a fellow Polack, would you?" "You said he was the best." "Yeah, how's that holding up?" "We'll see soon enough." "How's the attack coming?" "Oh, that's right, the RATTS." "I got them and Serena and Leonard going after your scientist friends, The Black Coats." "They're not my friends." "No, I suppose it isn't very friendly to order their assassination." "I trust you told them to hit me last, correct?" "Hey, where's the time machine?" "It's over there." "Golly." "That's a piece of work." "Impressive, isn't it?" "It sure is." "What the hell is Boss doing with our target?" "I don't know, but we weren't supposed to see it." "How do you know?" "We were supposed to wait until the attack today." "What do you think?" "I think this was a setup." "I don't like the guy, but I don't think he would set us up." "You don't know what he's capable of." "Hey, kid." "What is this?" "It looks like a .45." "What were you doing at the warehouse?" "What's the matter?" "Can't I talk to some old friends?" "They're your marks." "No, they're your marks." "They're my friends." "What is this all about?" "What do you think it's about?" "Maybe it's a cover, maybe you have to keep your enemies close... or maybe it's a setup." "Is that what you think?" "That I sent you on a suicide mission?" "Just decided to get rid of you after five years?" "Or maybe I just wanted to get rid of your friend Leonard there, filling your head with bullshit and drugs, turning you into a fucking invalid!" "Fuck you, Boss." "You ruined my life, not him." "Yeah, you used to be a warrior." "I was a little girl!" "Are you gonna kill me?" "I'm getting bored." "This is over." "Call the RATTS." "Call off the attack." "Well..." "I would, kid, but..." "I don't think they're gonna answer." "They're already dead." "You're lying." "Just tying up some loose ends for a friend, figured I would tie up a few of my own..." "The Black Coats, the RATTS, Leonard... all in one day." "I suppose it was a little too ambitious to expect it to go so smoothly." "So you gonna shoot me or not?" "No." "I can't." "I didn't think so." "Leonard can." "Serena." "Leonard." "Serena, I'm so sorry." "Don't worry about it." "It was my fault." "I should have known better." "Who hit me?" "The triggerman, Tarlowski." "I'll take care of him." "I promise." "Boss, too." "Boss?" "Yeah, he got away." "Leonard, no." "I will take care of this." "No." "You'll wait for me." "Don't do anything without me." "You don't know how he works." "Is it true about the RATTS?" "Yeah, they're all dead." "So it's just us against them." "Seems that way." "Don't worry." "I won't leave until you do." "Thank you." "Turner." "Mommy, it's snowing." "Snowing?" "Really?" "Come inside, dear." "What is it?" "It's snowing." "That's not snow, boy." "That's ash." "How long are you gonna keep us here?" "Well... the Allied forces are closing on the Motherland, and Hitler's commanding officers are desperate, so I would say you can expect to be taken out of here within 24 hours... to be executed." "Have you ever executed a man?" "No." "Have you ever seen a man executed?" "No." "What were they thinking?" "They could just send you over here so that you could... take the Führer's head?" "Well, good luck to you." "Both of you." "But I have to say..." "Sarge, they're gassing us." "Those goddamn Krauts are gassing us." "Stay calm." "Put that on, and breathe." "Jesus Christ, Sarge, stay calm?" "You know what this stuff does to you?" "It's only smoke, soldier." "Sarge, we gotta get out of here." "What's your name, soldier?" "Say again." " Your name?" "what's your name, soldier?" "McCoy, Private McCoy." "James Donovan." "Don't worry, McCoy." "We'll get out of here." "How's that?" "You got a plan?" "You know that Kraut that threw me in here?" "I broke three of his fingers while he was searching me." "What good does that do for us now?" "He stopped searching me after that." "They didn't find Serena." "Who's Serena?" "This is Serena." "Make it quick." "They make 'em young nowadays, don't they?" "What are you waiting for?" "I can't just let you go so you can pop up in my car tomorrow." "Are you some kind of amateur?" "I get it." "You're not even a little triggergirl, are you?" "Wow, you had me going there for a minute." "I'll tell you what." "I need to make a phone call." "You probably took that while you were robbing me of my worldly possessions." "I'll let you keep the phone and anything else you took, but I need to make a phone call, okay?" "Dial Mr. Hollister." "Tell him..." "Heh." "Tell him there's no coffee left in the pot." "Tell him Boss said so." "There's no coffee left in the pot." "Boss said so." "I don't have a name." "No name, huh?" "What about Serena?" "Isn't that you?" "If you want." "People call me Boss, 'cause I'm so pushy." "Nice to meet you." "Can I go now?" "Yeah, I'll let you go." "Just one thing before you run off to your squat." "Do you want a job, Serena?" "I'm too young to get a job." "But you're not too young to starve, you're not too young to get put away for larceny, and I don't think you're too young for my line of work." "I'm not a whore." "Of course not." "Do I look like a pimp to you?" "Oh, no, that's not my line of work." "What do you do?" "Come with me." "I'll show you." "Why me?" "I just hate to see a young girl like you waste away on the streets." "You don't want to live like that." "I mean, look at those people." "You deserve better." "I gotta drop something off at a friend's." "Come with me." "If I do anything you don't like, you can shoot me." "Okay?" "What do I get out of it?" "50 bucks." "Make it 100." "Okay, 100 bucks." "Sound fair?" "All right, I'll go." "But I swear, if you do anything creepy," "I'll shoot you in the face." "Deal." "So, you know how to break into a car, but have you ever stolen one?" "All right, you see the case in the back there?" "Yeah." "Grab it." "What's in it?" "Don't open it, for shit's sake." "Okay." "Just take it up to the doorstep, set it down, and ring the bell." "Do you want me to light it on fire first?" "Heh." "The fire'll come later." "Just go now before the neighbors get suspicious." "Okay." "Doorbell." "That was easy." "Yeah, for you, it was." "Was that a bomb in the briefcase?" "Yes, it was." "Ouch, eh?" "That's gotta sting." "Who opened it?" "Uh, nobody important." "Did he have a family?" "Oh, no." "No." "I wouldn't risk a child's life." "A woman, maybe, if she deserved it, but generally not." "Just miserable bastards." "We have a saying in my profession." ""No women, no children, except the son with a gun and the wife with a knife."" "Boss." "Yeah?" "Next time, tell me when there's something in the case." "Sure." "Well, here's your 100 bucks." "A deal's a deal." "Where do you live?" "I'll drop you off." "I don't have a home." "I thought I was joking before about that squat thing." "You don't have any friend's place you could stay at or anything?" "No." "All right, you'll stay at my place, then." "I can't have my new apprentice end up dead on the streets." "All right, but that shoot-you-in-the-face-for-being-creepy thing still applies." "Same to you." "Hmm." "That should be enough, right?" "Yeah, it's fine." "You know, you're a tough girl." "I bet this beats sleeping in an alleyway, right?" "Right." "Yeah." "And don't bother trying to sneak into my room to molest me, 'cause I keep the door locked." "Same to you." "I sleep with my eyes open." "Now, that's creepy." "Yeah, I know." "All right, good night." "I'll be at the end of the hall if you need anything." "Serena, pineapple." "They're tailing us." "I told you to grab the case." "I had the case in the car." "Yeah, well, that was last night." "Well, why did you move it?" "Because we can't leave a case of explosives in the car overnight." " why not?" "Because of people like you who steal shit out of cars." "Never mind." "Start shooting." "You see?" "Keep one in the chamber." "That way when you reload, you don't need to rack the slide, so you can keep shooting if you need to." "I'm gonna kill you, motherfucker!" "Like I said, it's not easy to fire someone in this business." "I've had a lot of time to think." "I've made up my mind, and if you don't agree," "I'll leave." "I've made it on my own before, and I can do it now." "Anyways, look," "I'm tired of tagging along and carrying your bullets around." "I want to do a job." "The only way I can do that is with your help." "I want the training that you had." "Absolutely not!" "You couldn't handle it, not for a minute." "Boss." "Do you even realize what you're asking of me?" "Yes, and I want you to do it for me." "No, I can't." "Then I'm leaving." "Look, Serena, maybe I can get somebody else to help you out." "No." "No, I want it from you." "All right." "But you're not gonna like it." "You're not fooling anybody." "Okay, I'm heading out." "When I get back, we'll get started." "Help yourself to the fridge, but leave the TV off between 12:00 and 1:00." "Why?" "I'm recording a show." "What show?" "Stories." "What stories?" "It's a prison term..." "soap operas." "When were you in prison?" "Ah, years ago." "What for?" "Concealed weapon." " How long?" "A year." "They couldn't trace it to anything, 'cause I hadn't used it yet." "It was my first gun." "Does this explain how you got into your business?" "Sort of." "See, when I got out of the military," "I married a girl named Lisa." "Her family was in the Irish mob based out of Boston." "Uh-huh." "So after I got married, they expected me to do certain things for 'em, run drugs and crap like that." "I wouldn't do it." "Why not?" "Because I hate drugs." "They're the AIDS of society." "Besides, I just got out of a war, and I wanted some peace and quiet." "Anyway." "They didn't appreciate my not cooperating." "I divorced my wife, and the Micks put a hit out on me." "Hey, I'm Irish." "Well, good for you." "You want to hear this or not?" "Yes." "So I got a gun to protect myself." "It's not like I didn't know how to use one." "I was used to having a gun by then." "I just wasn't used to carrying around a permit for one." "So after I got out, they were still after me." "I had to kill a few of 'em." "I found it a lot easier than I expected, killing citizens." "An enemy's an enemy, no matter where they're from." "So it just sorta stuck." "I started killing people who needed killing." "You mean you kill people that needed to be killed." "No." "I killed people who needed killing done." "You know, jealous husbands, maniac wives." "They would come to me saying they wanted their spouse dead." "I'd tell the spouse, make 'em disappear for a little while, convince the client the job was done, collect my money and then kill the client, then collect from the spouse." "You killed the people that hired you?" "Provided the spouse would pay me more." "You'd be amazed at how vengeful someone gets when they learn their dearly beloved wants them dead." "And I leave the situation with a clear conscience, knowing the victim started the whole problem and got what they deserved." "I mean, honestly, how can you marry someone and then hire a thug like me to shoot 'em in the back just 'cause you're unhappy?" "Oh, they deserve what they got." "That's amazing." " Yep." "After all this time, I had no idea." "You still watch soap operas." "You asshole." "The secret to killing people is... there is no secret." "People kill each other all the time." "They're just no good at getting away with it." "You know how to kill someone in any given situation." "It's human instinct." "You will react to any situation without hesitation." "You will shut out all of your emotions." "You will push yourself to your breaking point, and then you will push further."

"He wanted to talk to me." "What did he want?" " Oh, you know what he wants." "So why don't you just do it?" "It wouldn't kill you to help him out a little bit." "I don't want to help him out, and I don't want him calling here for me anymore." "What are you so afraid of?" "You're not gonna get in any trouble." "Nobody gets caught with that shit." "I'm afraid of the United States penal system." "I'm afraid of Jake growing up without a father, spiders." "I'll tell you what I'm not afraid of, your fucking Guido-Mick father trying to strong-arm me into being his bitch." "I wasn't anybody's bitch in prison." "I'll be damned if I'm gonna be anybody's bitch out in the suburbs." "Fuck you!" "Fuck your family." "Look, I paid you to do a job, so do it as I asked you." "All right, lady." "We already discussed the terms, okay?" "Just get out of my way." "I'll get out of your fucking way when you start to fucking listen." "No blood on my bed." "Got it?" "Let me work." "I'll sort it out." "And God damn it, stop talking." "He's gonna hear us." "No, no, no, no, no!" "Oh, no!" "That's what I thought." "That's what I thought." "All right, then." "Goodbye." "What the fuck was that?" "!" "What are you, some kind of special?" "Who did I tell you not to shoot?" "Boss." "Never mind the girl." "She's a threat." "She has to be treated as such." "We had a deal, Ed." "Yeah, I..." "I know we had a deal until she became a problem." "I think you'd be hard-pressed to say she's not a problem after she pulled that gun to your head." "If you can't keep your eyes on the target," "I'll tear 'em out of your fucking head!" "Bob, calm down." "Have a smoke." "Wipe that blood off your face." "And as for you, think it's time we move on to our primary objective." "Fucking wuss." "Goddamn amateur." "What the fuck is your problem, anyway?" "What is the matter with you?" "I'll just do it alone if you can't handle it." "I'll do it by myself." "I'll go alone." "Karl?" "I thought you were dead." "Pretty close." "What happened?" "It's hard to say, really." "We were about three marks in, and on the fourth, the shit just hit the fan." "My guys were inside the house when all the lights went out." "They went for their flashlights, but..." "It's okay." "I know." "Oh, shit." "You look like shit." "Long day at the office." "Do you have any .45 A.C.P. around here?" "Yeah, in the closet there." "Have you spoken with Boss yet?" "I..." "I can't seem to get ahold of him." "Karl." "We should probably tell him the mission has failed, several dead." "Karl..." "It was a setup." "A setup?" "Boss set us up." "Suicide mission." "Oh." "He and Houlden are working together." "The real targets were you, the RATTS, me and Leonard... and The Black Coats, minus Houlden, of course." "This is unbelievable." "It's a bit out of tune." "Yeah, a bit." "Okay." "Got some painkillers if you need any." "No." "How did you get so bloody?" "Kinda had to jump out of a second-story window." "Jesus." "Well, I'm no miracle worker, just lucky." "It's probably not safe here." "It's definitely not safe here." "We should bail." "What do you want to do?" "I'm gonna get as much ammo as I can and hop the next train right out of here." "Do you want to go with me?" "Okay." "I'll meet you at the station." "Why don't we go now?" "I have a couple things I need to do first." "Are you sure?" "Do you need any help?" "No, I'm all set." "Suit yourself." "Oh, but, Serena..." "Yeah?" "wherever you're going... maybe you should wear this." "Doesn't fit." "It's adjustable." "That's not so bad, right?" "WOHey, he's got a gun." "Serena." "Serena, are you there?" "Here." "Have a smoke." "Settle the fuck down." "Got a light, big guy?" "I'll light it if you come over and calm down." "Come on, darling." "Just tell me you're sorry, and we'll forget all about this, and I'll just walk away." "You're not walking away from this one." "Look at us, couple of bloody subhumans with guns, as if we were made this way by some necessity for balance in a world that would suffocate without evil." "We're the tar in their lungs, Serena, so breathe it in." "Do you feel special yet, doll?" "God save the Queen." "Hey!" "God save the Queen." "God save the Queen." "God save the Queen!" "God save the fucking Queen!" "Where's the machine?" "What machine?" "Don't make me come over there." "Oh, that's right." "The time machine." "What you're looking for is in the room, second door down on the left." "But I'm warning you." "You don't want to go in there." "Why the hell not?" "Some doors, once opened, cannot be closed." "You don't want to see what's behind that door." "I suppose you were expecting some sort of time-travel device." "Well... no such thing exists." "Of course, we scientists have our theories." "Theories?" "I'd side with the wormhole theorists, but we haven't gotten very far with that." "Others believe that time, all of time, exists at once." "Physically it's like a videocassette." "It exists all at once, but when you watch, you move from moment to moment, from beginning to end." "Really, the mental theories are the most fascinating." "They hold that all of reality is... is bound together by individual thought." "They believe that with the right amount of concentration, one can bring themselves so deeply into a memory that the present, as they know it, disappears." "Whether or not they can do anything differently than what they did in the past, I have no idea." "They're all construed with paradox, but... what isn't?" "Well, I really ought to be going." "Perhaps I'll leave you with a little quote from Silesius." ""Time is of your own making." ""Its clock ticks in your head." ""The moment you stop thought, time, too, stops dead."" "Serena?" "Serena?" "Boss, don't kill me." "Why not?" "I can't..." "I can't..." "You can't?" "You can't what?" "You know what I think?" "I think I should kill you, you treacherous bitch." "Boss, why?" "Why what?" "Why did you have to kill Leonard?" "Why?" "!" "You fucking beat-up old man!" "Tell me!" "It's because he took me from you, isn't it?" "Your beloved Leonard." "Good old Leonard!" "Let me tell you something about Leonard, my poor naive Serena." "Leonard wanted you dead." "Bullshit." "Oh, of course." "You can't believe me." "What do I know?" "I think you're forgetting something." "I think you've forgotten how I work after that little vacation there with Leonard." "Shall I refresh your drug-swamped mind?" "Now, I think it should come back pretty quickly, because I've told you this before." "I kill people that need killing." "Leonard wanted some killing of you." "Unfortunate for him, he didn't know my operation, so I thought... let's do something nice for Serena." "Let's spare her the grief of feeling like nobody could ever really love her." "Let's invent an enemy and have Leonard die in the line of duty, all valiant and brave." "Therefore, everyone's happy." "Leonard at least gets to die with dignity," "Mr. Muffins and his time travel doesn't have a pesky radical group after him or wacko scientists trying to fuck with the space-time continuum." "You... you don't develop some kind of everybody-in-my-life- abandons-me complex." "The world's happy, because it's short one cowardly little bastard who didn't have the guts to kill somebody himself." "And I'm happy... because, in the end, you'd be safe." "He cared about me." "Did you care about him?" "Did you take the time to notice?" "Do you think all those husbands who hired me went home and acted like they wanted their wives dead?" "No!" "They'd snuggle up next to them in bed... kiss them good night and dream sweet dreams of a life without them." "This got so fucked up!" "Boss." "Yeah?" "Next time... tell me when there's something in the case." "Heh." "That is creepy."

"About that, I was talking to our mutual friend." "Said there's a lot of static about someone trying to take you out." "It may be someone on the inside, maybe not." "I can't be sure." "He didn't tell me much." "I just thought you should watch yourself." "I guess there's no escaping fate, is there?" "Oh, boy." "Are you in one of your moods?" "Fate isn't about what's gonna happen, what you're gonna do." "It's about what already happened, what you've already done." "There's no changing that." "What you can do is decide what happens next."

"And if you love somebody... don't ever forget that... they were always there for you... and that you love them." "All right." "I'm gonna go now." "I hope you stay safe." "I hope you stay well." "Good night." "Good luck." "Stay safe, darling." "Bye, hon."
