Kill Will (2026) Movie Script
(projector whirs)
(gentle music)
(rooster crows)
(wind whistles)
(birds chirp)
(gentle music continues)
- Morning, Will.
- Charlie.
Didn't even hear you
get going this morning.
You out late drinking
with Mayor McCluskey again?
(Charlie laughs)
No, yeah, I just couldn't sleep,
so I just came over early.
Well, thanks for the head start.
Hey, you ever do that?
Go out drinking with the mayor?
Not since middle school.
I believe you.
(Charlie laughs)
[Will] How's Grace doing?
She's okay.
She's okay, she's liking the time off.
Just didn't expect the school
to retire her so early.
Getting to spend more time down
with the grandkids, though.
- That's good to hear.
- [Charlie] Yeah.
Yeah.
You still working over at the bar too?
A couple nights a week, yeah.
Keeps me busy.
- That's good.
That's good.
What's up, Charlie?
Spit it out.
Will, I'm gonna have to
cut your mornings down.
- Again, huh?
- I know, I know.
It's been hard since Grace got let go.
Bills are stacking up.
It's just, well, it's just
a little tight right now.
I get it, for real, Charlie, I do.
Come on, I'll give you a lift.
(gentle country guitar music)
(engine revs)
(gentle country guitar music continues)
Thanks, Charlie.
You still coming to the
house for dinner on Wednesday?
Gotta be around people
every now and again, Will.
Good for the soul.
You don't know where my soul's been.
I don't care where you've been, I.
Care where we're going, yeah.
What are you guys making?
Oh, you're picky all of a sudden?
No, I guess not.
We'll see you there.
(upbeat music)
Morning, Will.
Hey Sandy, how are you?
I'm doing good.
Got a little present for you.
Oh, you know you don't have to.
[Will] I know, but I do.
[Sandy] Thank you, I'll
get your drinks for you.
(coin rattles)
Here we go.
- [Will] Thanks.
- [Sandy] You're welcome.
Let me know if you need anything.
Will do.
(screen swooshes)
(liquor gurgles)
(pensive music)
(pensive music continues)
(water splashes)
(Will sighs)
(Will sighs)
(screen swooshes)
(woman screams)
(tense music)
No.
(tense music continues)
(gunshot bangs)
(bluesy guitar music)
(cash register dings)
All right, here's another, easy one.
You tell that Wildcat behind
the wheel not to slow down
or he'll never even get a
chance to bleed to death.
Is that the, that Tarantino fellow?
No, no, no, okay, same movie.
Pop quiz, hot shot.
There's a bomb on a bus.
If it drops below 50, it blows up.
What do you do?
I don't know, Annie, you got me.
Dennis Hopper, Keanu?
"Speed".
Oh, is Jon Voight in that one?
No, not that one.
I love Jon Voight.
Me too, Harold, me too.
Keep the change, you filthy animal.
- Yeah, there you go.
- Night, Annie.
Goodnight.
(door clicks shuts)
The last one just left.
We are a-closed.
Don't you mean that's a wrap?
Good one.
I still gotta cash out the register.
Long day, Hollywood?
Same day.
Over and over
and over and over and over again.
How about you?
Well, so usually I chop
the onions using this knife.
Today, went a little
nuts and used this one.
I'm glad to see you're getting
out of your comfort zone.
[Will] Thanks.
Well, can I interest you
in a beer of your choice
as an excuse to help me
avoid doing my cash out?
I don't drink.
[Annie] Since when?
[Will] Always.
How did I not know that?
Fine, never mind.
Hey, but I'll take a
coffee if that'll, you know,
still help you procrastinate.
Deal.
(gentle country music)
(Annie laugh)
Come on, what's wrong with "E.T."?
There's nothing wrong with "E.T.",
but come on, that's
it, that's all you got?
I don't know, I don't
really watch a lot of movies.
Oh no, you're one of those.
One of those?
How am I supposed to talk to you
if I can't use movie lines?
You're just gonna have
to get creative, Hollywood.
I give up.
- It's so awkward.
It's getting there, yeah.
I mean, you don't have
to let me win, right?
You know that.
- I'm not, I assure you.
I'd be pretty embarrassed at this point.
Oh, trust me, this is horrifying.
And you're not even drinking, so.
Maybe I should start.
So you're sticking with the coffee?
Yeah.
[Annie] Okay.
Did you fill out that application yet?
You didn't, did you?
I'm,
I have a process.
See you're pronouncing it
wrong, it's pronounced excuse.
Ooh.
Yeah, you like that one?
So I kick your ass and you
gotta take me down a peg?
I'm just trying to be helpful.
Hey, you could list me as a reference.
They'll never listen to
someone who doesn't watch movies.
Yeah, probably not.
So what about you?
What's your next destination
after you get outta here?
Who said I'm headed anywhere?
Come on.
You're just gonna tend to Charlie's farm
the rest of your life?
Settle down in our little old town.
I don't know about all that,
but it's fun to slow things
down for a little while.
Yeah, but like, what are your
dreams or goals or whatever?
What do you wanna do?
Right now, I'm fine where I'm at.
You always do that.
What?
Every time we start talking, you just,
you know, some people do
wanna learn about the new guy.
There's not much to him.
Okay.
(pensive music)
I should probably finish up.
Yeah, me too.
(pensive music continues)
(lighter clicks)
- Hello?
- Motherfucker.
Sorry, the door was open.
We're closed.
Yeah, I know, but does
Will still work here?
You're a friend of Will's?
Yeah, we're old friends.
Is he working tonight?
He'll be back in a sec.
My man, can I bum a smoke off you?
You don't want one of
these, man, they're rolled.
People still do that.
[Will] Yeah, I'm the only one.
Almost makes it kind
of rare then, right?
You gotta let me try one.
You're not from around here.
It's that obvious?
So how do you know Will?
Can I trouble you for a drink?
It's been a day.
What do you want?
Scotch.
All right.
You don't like pre-roll
'em or something?
Seems like that'll take
forever, right, every time.
Yeah, maybe.
Go through 'em faster
that way too, though.
Can't argue with that.
Name's Lewis, by the way.
Will.
That's what I thought.
It has been a long day.
(ominous music)
My fucking car broke down.
And you know, when I
went to the dealership,
those guys sold me on a
brand-new hybrid, right?
I think what they said was
you'd be shocked at how
much money you save on gas.
The only thing shocking about that car is
how much I fucking hate it.
[Annie] Oh wow.
But I won't trouble
you with my problems.
(glass smashes)
(punch resounds)
(dramatic music)
(gun cocks)
(gunshot bangs)
(dramatic music continues)
(glass smashes)
(gunshot bangs)
(Lewis groans)
(dramatic music continues)
(glass smashes)
(glass smashes)
(Annie chokes)
(Annie coughs)
(dramatic music continues)
(door bangs)
(Lewis bangs on door)
(gunshot bangs)
(dramatic music continues)
(punches resound)
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Can you stand?
- Yeah.
Come on, let's go.
(dramatic music continues)
[Annie] What the fuck, what the fuck,
what the fuck, what the fuck?
[Will] Are you singing?
[Annie] I don't know.
Never been shot at before.
I don't know what my body's doing.
What the hell is going on?
Do you have your phone?
Oh shit, I don't have my
phone, I left it at the bar.
Do you have yours?
[Will] I don't have a phone.
[Annie] What are you, Amish?
[Will] That's offensive.
(dramatic music continues)
(tranquil music)
[Annie] God, it smells like shit.
How far is it?
[Will] It's 14 miles
driving, I'm not sure this way.
14 miles, exactly,
not 15 or 13 and a half?
I don't really do fractions.
Will and Annie trudged to freedom
through 14 miles of shit-smelling foulness
I can't even imagine.
"Shawshank".
You've never, of course
you've never seen "Shawshank".
Why would you have seen
anything or have any idea
what I'm referring to?
I don't believe you.
I have no idea what a "Shawshank" is.
No, you don't know who those guys were?
No.
Or why they were after you?
Why do you think they were after me?
I think they were just
trying to rob the place
and they didn't wanna get.
- They specifically
asked for you.
Maybe they just know I worked there.
And you just happen to
know how to fight like that.
YouTube.
YouTube.
Tell me the truth or I'm
not going any further.
Fine.
- No, you can't go
back to town, all right?
If it was just two guys ripping us off,
why can't I go to the cops?
[Will] Don't go to,
what are the cops gonna do
anyway, huh?
- What are the,
what are we even talking about here?
Look, please just stop questioning me
like this, all right, you gotta stop.
I just had a gun in my face.
- [Will] I know.
- That guy knew you.
[Will] No he didn't, I have
no idea who they were, okay?
- Stop lying.
- I'm not lying to you.
I don't know who they were.
- Who are they?
- I don't know.
- Who are you?
- What do you mean?
- All right, enough.
I am not walking 13 and
fucking three eighth miles
into the woods so you can
kill me or tie me to a tree
or practice jujitsu or some stupid shit.
All right, they weren't
there trying to rob you, okay?
They were there trying to kill me.
The guy who attacked you
at the bar, I know him.
We used to work together.
Testified against him in federal court.
Now I live here.
You're in witness protection?
(Annie sighs)
Oh my God.
Ask the guy to have a coffee,
seems cool, little quiet.
But what's the worst that could happen?
What did you do for them?
Let's just say I have a
particular set of skills.
Oh, that one you know.
Contract hits, bad guys
only, rival criminals,
drug dealers, murderers.
Says the guy pulling the trigger.
I need a minute.
Look, we gotta keep moving.
Once we get to Charlie's. You'd
never have to see me again.
I'm not going anywhere with you.
Look, this might be normal for you,
but I don't kill people. Or
Right now, you don't
really have a choice, okay?
Can't go back to town.
There's gonna be 10 guys
there canvassing the place
looking for us.
Just stick with me till
we get to Charlie's,
then you never have to see me again.
Look, you wanted the truth,
I'm telling you the truth.
Why would I have just made that up?
Come with me if you wanna live.
Do you know any
references from this decade?
Is "Toy Story 3" this decade?
No.
Then no.
[Annie] Unbelievable.
[Will] So we're good now?
[Annie] No, I'm still angry.
(tense music)
Yo, Brooks, you seeing
what I'm seeing, right?
The fuck is this man doing,
fucking books and puzzles, man?
This is the shit he gave us up for,
fucking, "The Best Poems of the English",
the fuck is this, books and puzzles?
You couldn't pay me enough money to stay
in this shitty ass
apartment for three years.
Yeah, it's good to know
if we gotta look for you,
it'll be in penthouses.
- Something, man.
The Bahamas, la Costa Rica.
You catch me doing puzzles and reading
"Pride and Prejudice" in the
middle of bum fucking nowhere.
(phone rings)
Look, I wanna swallow it
while you pull the trigger
real quick, simple.
Yeah,
we're here.
No, it doesn't look like he's been back.
No, don't.
I need you to calm down.
Yeah.
[Lewis] Losing it?
[Brooks] Yeah, just a bit.
Let put this camera up,
man, we can get outta here.
He's not coming back.
[Lewis] Maybe he fucks up.
[Brooks] He won't.
People fuck up all the time.
Why you always wanna shoot down my ideas?
Personally, I think I have great ideas.
People do.
He won't, let's go.
[Lewis] Fuck this shitty
ass apartment anyway.
Yo, Brooks, hold up man, hold up.
(water trickles)
Nope, rather be strangled again.
We could arrange that.
Come on.
[Annie] Oh my God.
[Will] It's like a mud bath, you know?
[Annie] No it's not.
So why can't we just go
to the cops? Didn't you
already like, I don't know,
cut a deal or something?
Well, yeah, but small
town police department,
they'll be watching.
They might have intimidated
someone or bribed someone.
So what, do you have like
a contract on your head?
Well, those guys do not
work for free, so probably.
Come on, you got it.
You're gonna have to let me know
how much it is.
Could really use the money.
Hate to disappoint you
but these are not the guys
you wanna try to collect from.
Were you at least good
at, you know, being an
assassin or whatever?
All my Yelp scores
have been pretty solid.
Did have one bad review,
but I think that guy was just
having a shitty day, you know?
Come on man, I could just
use a little bit of good news.
Yeah,
I'm good.
But you know, so are they, so.
You couldn't just let me have that?
Just fucking leave it alone.
(gentle music)
Long night?
(fly buzzes)
Thank you.
Of course, thanks, Charlie.
Napkins.
Where's the fire?
Behind us, but gaining.
How bad is it?
Sorry to come to you like this Charlie.
You're the only person I trust.
What do you need?
Your car, if you can spare it.
I'll get it back to you as
soon as I can, I promise.
Maybe a little cash
and a gun.
This is pretty serious.
You can take the truck.
I don't have any money to give
you, here, you can take this.
It's all the cash I got.
And I can loan you my rifle from the barn.
Thank you, Charlie.
Anything else you need?
Let Annie stay here for a couple days.
What, no.
Wait 72 hours and then call this number.
[Annie] Just say three days, Jesus.
Wait three days and
then call this number.
Ask for Anderson.
Tell her the truth, everything.
(pensive music)
That's your secret stash?
Well, my rocket launcher
is in the shop, so.
I mean, you don't even
have any money in there.
Yeah, this is my
backup to my backup plan
one in my apartment has money, more ammo,
a bunch of other shit.
This was only in case
things went, you know,
Bay of Pigs tits up sideways, so
glad we're here.
I have so many questions.
I know.
Like, I mean, where are you going?
I mean, what are you gonna do?
Are you gonna have to leave the country?
Can you really kill
somebody with your pinky?
And you're not gonna tell me any of that?
Sorry.
[Annie] So that's it, I
won't even know if you made it?
That's just the way this works.
[Annie] I mean, at least
tell me your real name.
- No.
- [Annie] Come on.
Probably find out from the police anyway.
[Will] Then find out from them.
When I sell the story,
I'll totally change it.
No.
Is it Michael?
You look like a Michael.
- No.
- Anthony?
- [Will] No.
- Eric?
- [Will] No.
- Julio?
- No.
Would you tell me if I guessed it?
- Of course.
- Really?
No.
Does it rhyme with Schmeddy?
I'm not gonna tell you.
Does it start with a vowel?
Austin, Oscar,
Inigo Montoya.
Charlie.
Charlie?
(ominous music)
(gunshot bangs)
(ominous music continues)
(dramatic music)
(gunshot bangs)
Get down there, get down there, go.
Shit, fuck.
(dramatic music continues)
(Brooks and Will grunt)
(punches resound)
(Lewis and Will grunt and pant)
(punches resound)
(dramatic music continues)
(punches resound)
(dramatic music continues)
(men groan)
(punches resound)
(Will gasps)
(Annie groans)
(Lewis screams)
(dramatic music continues)
(air hisses)
What are you doing?
So they can't follow.
Love the energy, but next time,
disable the hunk of junk.
Take the one from this century.
Oh, right.
(engine revs)
I am sorry about Charlie.
You have the money?
I guess the Four Seasons is out.
Yeah, that's not gonna get us far.
[Annie] What do we do now?
I need a phone.
(exercise bike wheel spins)
(alarm beeps)
[Influencer] Hi guys.
Today I'm gonna be showing
(indistinct)
- Morning, my love.
- Morning.
- How are you feeling today?
- Good.
Yeah?
Did you take your pills this morning?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
You good enough to eat?
- Mm-hmm.
Are you sure?
'Cause this crust is the best part.
(child giggles)
Where's Daddy?
[Child] He left already.
Hmm.
Well, Daddy's gonna take
you to your appointment
right after school and then I'll see you
right after that.
- Okay.
All right, Mom needs some coffee
and then let's hit the road.
- [Child] Okay.
Do you think you're
gonna learn anything today?
- No, not really.
- No?
You know it all already, huh?
- Yeah.
Well, let's just skip to college, then.
(thunder rumbles)
There you go, babe.
(phone rings)
Anderson.
[Voice Over Phone] Patching
call, code 808, please verify.
Alpha 306917.
[Voice Over Phone]
Verified, hold for connection.
(phone beeps)
- Matador.
- [Will] Albatross.
Where are you?
Status?
Blown.
[Anderson] Hostiles?
Yeah, in pursuit.
- Are you injured?
- [Will] Negative.
Good, we can extract and reestablish.
I don't wanna be reestablished.
I'll take my chances on my own.
I just need a jump start.
Let's not get ahead of
ourselves, we can discuss.
I know what I'm saying.
You're not gonna talk me down.
Can you help me or not?
Okay, got a pen?
Go.
over one by 19.
8287842597 over one by 19.
Hang on.
Yeah, we can make that.
We?
Civilian, long story.
Be careful.
Thanks.
Was that a conversation?
That way in case someone is listening,
they won't know what we're saying.
Hey, thanks.
- Have a good one.
What do the numbers mean?
Coordinates, where
we're meeting, scrambled.
Over one by 19?
One day from today, 19:00,
so tomorrow night at 7:00.
So where are we going?
It's a surprise.
Great, more surprises.
I love your surprises.
(tense music)
Well, we can't exactly chase them down
on a fucking tractor.
Does it sound like I'm joking?
Yeah,
mm-hmm,
we'll be ready,
okay.
Telling you Brooks,
I'm stabbing her in the
fucking face with this thing.
[Brooks] You're gonna carry
that thing around with you
just to be poetic?
Then a regular fork.
Reinforcements are on their way.
We'll be back on the road by tomorrow.
Good, ready to be done with
this motherfucker anyway.
How does it work?
Did you get to pick where you went?
No.
They actually ask you
about like every place
you've ever been or
you've always wanted to go
and then send you to the opposite.
So you didn't ask to be
a farm hand/line cook in
the middle of nowhere?
No.
I don't know, it could been worse though.
I guess.
So where are you from?
Like, where did this all happen?
I'm not gonna tell you
the name of that, Annie.
Sorry, nothing specific.
The less you know about me the better.
Did you ever get used to it?
Oh, I mean it was pretty
lonely at first, but.
No, no,
did you get used to?
(Annie gurgles)
No.
You get good at
compartmentalizing, though.
I just don't know how you could.
I have to detach from it.
Justify in my head somehow.
You know, when I was in the service.
I spent all these years
getting really good
at something
and then I was,
and then it was over.
I don't know, I imagine
it's kind of like being
a professional athlete who retires, right?
Can't replicate that anywhere.
That control,
power.
As fucked up as it sounds,
I feel more comfortable
with a gun to my head
than anywhere else.
I wouldn't know what to
do with a gun to my head.
Clearly.
(insects chirp)
All right, here's your gun.
Doesn't look like a gun.
Supposed to use your
imagination, Hollywood, come on.
(emotive country music)
Okay, what do I do?
Aim it at me.
Freeze.
All right, first of all,
these guys will not say freeze,
but.
[Annie] Shit.
All right, lemme show you what it,
so first of all, all right,
so you never wanna hold a pistol
with just one hand, right?
You wanna stabilize it with this hand.
Ah, we got a long handle there, but,
and with this hand, I'm
gonna hit your wrist.
- Okay.
- This hand,
I'm gonna get the gun.
So,
and then I back away and I have the gun.
I let you have that one.
[Will] Sure you did.
Lemme show you that again.
Okay.
So I come in with both hands
kind of at the same time,
hit your wrist with this hand,
your right wrist with this hand,
grab the barrel with this
hand and get it from you.
And then I take a step back.
Now you try.
- [Annie] Okay.
- Okay.
- [Annie] So.
So, I'm aiming at you.
- [Annie] Yeah.
- Square up to me.
Left hand, yep, hit's my wrist.
That hand's gonna grab the barrel, yeah.
- And then I do this.
- [Will] Yep.
To here?
[Will] Make sure you step
back as soon as you got
your hands on the gun.
Yeah.
- [Annie] Step back.
Yeah.
What about that sideways
thing I see that in the movies
all the time?
Headshot.
No?
Okay, okay, fine.
Yep, yep, you're just
casually about to get shot
in the face, exactly,
yeah.
Yes.
My stepdad always had guns
in the house growing up,
but I never touched them.
Didn't want to,
hated that they were there.
This is more gun work than I've ever done.
[Will] You really hate a lot
about where you grew up, huh?
Yeah.
So why haven't you left yet?
Well,
when I was a little girl, I, it's silly,
but I just, I dreamed that
one day someone special
would come along and I'd, you know,
be on the run for my life
and worry about being shot at
or choked to death
and that would get me
outta this little old town.
Fear of being murdered by
crime syndicate hit men.
(emotive country music continues)
(insects chirp)
(tires crunch on gravel)
Oh, I would kill for a shower.
Been there.
Kidding.
Can I ask you something?
I'd be surprised if you didn't.
What changed,
to make you testify?
Was it just that you got caught or?
No, I didn't get caught.
I did 16 jobs for them.
Rival drug dealers, other
criminal organizations.
Only bad guys.
Yeah,
so we get this new assignment.
There's a truckload of
weapons headed for Canada.
We intercept, hurts them, good for us.
(metal creaks)
I worked a lot with
these two other hitters.
Thought all you hit
men guys worked alone?
Don't believe everything
you see on screen, Hollywood.
Anyway, I worked a lot with these two.
Call 'em M and G.
(suspenseful music)
(gunshot bangs)
(suspenseful music continues)
(gunshot bangs)
(suspenseful music continues)
(gunshot bangs)
(suspenseful music continues)
(gunshot bangs)
(gunshot bangs)
(gunshot bangs)
(tense music)
(crowd chatters indistinctly)
(tense music continues)
(door rattles)
(tense music continues)
Hey, there's my A-Team.
You guys look to be in one piece.
No issues.
That's good.
We like simple around here.
Come on, let's get you guys paid.
(tense music continues)
Well,
it was a pleasure doing business with you.
Drink?
- I'm good.
[Brooks] Suit yourself.
[Person Off-Camera] Move it.
Go on, go.
(somber music)
- What the fuck is this?
- Oh that?
That's none of your concern.
You guys did a great job today.
Here, don't spend it all in one place.
I did not sign up for this.
No?
Well then what did you sign up for?
Well you said it was weapons.
I did?
It wasn't.
Are we gonna have a problem?
We just stole a box truck
full of teenage girls.
Yeah, I think we're gonna
have a problem here.
So he has a line, that's great.
Noble, even.
Thank you, sweetheart.
But you're willing to kill five guys
and steal a truck full
of weapons, no problem.
(money clatters)
But this,
this, no, never.
You know, I thought you
would've learned by now.
Lines don't hold up in this profession.
(gunshot bangs)
No.
(guns cock)
Get your fucking hands off me.
Yeah.
We're done.
- Oh, we're done?
- [Will] Out
we don't want this.
Now, hold on just a minute there, champ.
I am not willing to walk
this plank with you.
How about you sleep on it?
Oh hey,
a little something extra for your trouble.
(coin clinks)
I gave 'em up, all of them.
I told myself I was helping M and G.
I wouldn't give their identities
until they were promised
the same deal I was.
At that point, they
didn't have much choice.
In the end, it didn't even matter.
Took out a couple of low level guys.
Big wigs got off.
There's nothing else
you could have done.
Maybe.
I could have taken down the whole thing.
I'm not very experienced at all this,
but I think killing a shit
ton of other people is
usually not the morally righteous answer.
Would've felt a lot better than running.
(contemplative music)
(contemplative music continues)
(tense music)
(gunshot bangs)
(Will pants)
Jesus.
You okay?
Sorry.
How far are we?
Couple more hours.
Just gassed up with the rest of this.
(funky music)
Thou tellst me there
is murder in mine eye.
It is pretty, sure, and very probable
that eyes, which are the frailest
and softest things
should be called tyrants,
butchers, murderers.
Now I do frown on thee with all my heart.
And if mine eyes can wound,
let them now kill thee.
I'm sorry, what the fuck
is she saying right here?
That she's gonna stab him with her eyes?
- [Director] Hold let's reset.
- Come on.
[Director] Let's reset.
I'm sorry, Bruce.
I have to understand
what's happening here.
We've been over this 20 goddamn times.
[Molly] Don't attack
my method (indistinct).
Calm, calm, calm, calm, calm, calm.
Let's breathe.
Let's breathe.
(director inhales and exhales loudly)
Breathe every word one at a time.
Feel the rhythm
of your breathing.
Excuse me,
John, would you mind terribly moving
that equipment from back there?
I'd like to keep the creative space clear.
Yep, on it.
Okay, Molly, let's start
from the top of your speech.
You still haven't addressed my question.
Oh, for Christ's sake.
[Molly] Don't start.
Just read the lines.
Read, say,
read, say,
I don't understand the
fucking problem here.
(director exhales loudly)
(birds chirp)
[Annie] You sure you
got the coordinates right?
(tense music)
You know, I always
said if I saw you again,
I'd kill you,
but.
No but.
(tense music escalates)
(Annie grunts)
(tense music continues)
(broom handle snaps)
Stop this.
(broom handle clatters)
(tense music continues)
(punches resound)
(men pant)
I'm not here for you.
Just a coincidence?
I didn't even know you were here, man.
See, now that is damn funny,
considering you're the
reason I'm even here
in the first place.
Save it.
You know, the last time I saw my kid?
Was at his third birthday party.
Got him this little tool chest,
little fake hammer and nails and shit.
Loved it.
And then the Feds showed up at my door,
gave me just enough
time to kiss him goodbye
and I haven't seen him since
'cause of your decisions.
You're right.
That's all you got?
After all this time?
Get the fuck outta here.
Well,
glad to see you two are
getting reacquainted.
So how did they find us?
We're not sure.
We didn't know it happened
until Michael contacted us.
Ha, I knew it.
I guessed it.
Michael.
[Will] Mullen?
A few days ago.
Right before they came after you.
(punches resound)
(gunshot bangs)
(gunshot bangs)
[Gibson] So when do we move?
You got some time.
Extraction won't be here for a few hours.
I'd get cozy.
What about me?
We could offer you some
type of placement too,
if that's what you want.
Otherwise, we can get you back home.
Think about it.
Where are you going?
If I'm gonna be stuck here
for another several hours,
I sure don't want to do it
sitting next to you fucks.
Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.
Getting pretty used to it at this point.
Occupational hazard.
Will said you run a bar back home.
I bar tend and serve food.
It's pretty dull most of the time.
Seems peaceful.
Yeah, that's probably why I hate it.
- Oh?
- I don't hate it.
But
after high school, I was just
ready to get out, you know?
Film school, move to L.A., work on movies.
And then?
Couldn't even afford community college.
What are you hoping to
get out of this, Annie?
Before two days ago,
I was dying for a little
bit of excitement, anything.
Now I've been choked and shot at
and I'm just not sure it
was all I was hoping for.
I've lived in that tiny
ass town my whole life.
Just thought I'd be doing something big.
When I first became a Marshall,
I was pretty ambitious too,
and idealistic.
There were good guys
and there were bad guys.
I was gonna be on the good guy
side and make a difference.
About a year ago, our daughter got sick.
My husband and I were on
the brink of a divorce.
He actually already found an apartment
and all of our attention changed.
Now I do what I need to get by
one foot in front of the
other, one day at a time,
all that other clich bullshit.
Sooner or later, you figure
out what's most important,
the thing you'd trade anything for.
That's what's big for you.
I'll give you some time.
(coin clinks)
Looks good.
Didn't ask.
Why'd you go with so many nines?
[Gibson] It's not so many, okay,
it's a few.
I'm just saying, you could use
like an MP5 or something.
Oh really.
What'd you bring, huh?
Empty fucking air?
Just saying.
Yeah, well don't,
your suggestions are duly noted.
You think you got enough ammo?
Look, could you not
stand over my shoulder
the entire fucking night please?
Christ, man, we're
on the same team here.
Really?
You know, the first year I was here,
spent every night thinking
about cutting your throat.
- I know, I get that.
- Do you?
I'm not so sure.
Look,
it wasn't 'cause you
wanted out, all right?
I got that,
eventually.
I mean, what happened
with those girls was.
The fact is,
you went to the Feds
instead of us.
You could have given us a heads up,
told us what you were gonna do.
Instead, here we are.
So
Do me a favor,
save the rah, rah, go team
bullshit for somebody else, okay?
You forgot your clip.
(water splashes)
(hand dryer hums)
Didn't even have to kill anyone.
Would've been worth it, though.
Thank you.
You thought about what you wanna do?
Nah, I've been working on
some musical theater ideas I have.
I've got this one about this hitman
that's working undercover
on a stage adaptation called
"Forrest Gump and Guns".
Got this other one called
"Guys and Dolls and Guns".
They all seem to end with and guns, but.
I don't know.
I am surprised you're
gonna run again, though.
What's that supposed to mean?
Running to the Feds?
What choice do I have?
The same one, right?
I mean, this feels like the same choice.
It's not that simple.
[Annie] Well then explain it.
You spent two days in this world
and all of a sudden you know everything?
You know, you're full of shit.
[Will] Yeah.
You spent the last two years
trying to convince yourself
that you have to undo a bad decision.
But you're not,
you're still just running.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
Yeah, well I know that
in a week you're gonna be
in Baltimore or New Jersey or Flagstaff
or who the hell knows where
and you're gonna have a new
fake name and a new fake job.
And exactly nothing will
have actually changed.

Hi.
Um,
did you find everything okay?
I did, thanks.
Do you have a rewards card?
No, I don't.
Do you wanna open one?
No, it's okay.
Do you wanna make a donation?
Not today, no thanks.
Okay,
that's gonna be 25 even.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- There you go.
(cash register beeps)
- There you go.
- Thanks.
Do you have a bathroom?
(contemplative music)
(suspenseful music)
Tie them up in the back.
(suspenseful music continues)
(train horn blares)
(train engine rattles)
(contemplative music)
Fuck.
(dramatic music)
(Gibson coughs)
Where are we?
Home sweet home.
What happens now?
Well,
if I'm lucky,
I'll get to play 20 Questions.
You, on the other hand,
it'll be a different road.
I'm sorry.
Babe, I can't come right now.
No, I told you I can't.
No, I got, I have to work,
love, you know what it is.
Look,
she's.
(dial tone beeps)

Mikey.
Oh Mikey.
Oh wait, I'm sorry.
It's Will.
Will.
That is what they call you now, right?
Let me make you a deal, Will.
You come out now
and little Miss Annie here,
she gets to keep all her fingers.
Otherwise, I can't promise
your little girlfriend
won't start losing those
one
by one
by one.
(tense music continues)
Let her go.
Toss it.
(gun clatters)
Thank you.
No loose ends this time.
No.
(gunshot bangs)
(gunshot bangs)
(emotive music)
Kind of dramatic,
don't you think?
That's how they do it
in Hollywood, isn't it?
(emotive music continues)
No, okay.
Paul Thomas Anderson, "Boogie
Nights", "The Master".
Wes Anderson, "Grand Budapest Hotel"
and "Royal Tenenbaums".
Two completely different directors.
Sounded like a lot of names.
So who am I watching then?
Wesley Thomas or?
Paul Thomas Anderson.
PTA.
PTA, okay, that's easier.
So PTA or
WA?
Both of 'em.
You gotta do 'em all.
Sounds like a commitment.
It is, but you asked.
Ready for a road trip?
Could have grabbed that.
Oh no, no, no.
No more favors from you.
I don't think I could
handle owing you anything.
Annie
Gibson.
I mean this with all due
admiration and respect,
but I hope I never see you again.
Likewise.
Please be careful.
Look, two out of work
assassins taking down
a crime boss and his whole organization?
What could go wrong?
It writes itself.
That way's West.
Keep going until you hit an ocean.
Will we ever see each other again?
Never count out a sequel.
(emotive music)
Later, Hollywood.
over 365 by 12.
(upbeat country music)
Hey there Molly
I'm just calling 'cause I'm
about to go out of my mind
The rain keeps a-falling
Falling, falling and a mile
of ways are wasting my time
Why don't you come on by
And allow me to remind you
of the charming twinkle
In my eye
And if you don't mind
Grab a bottle of wine
and we'll be fine
Until we see sunshine
Or you can leave in the
morning if you feel that way
Or I can fix you some
breakfast if you want to stay
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
(gentle music)
(rooster crows)
(wind whistles)
(birds chirp)
(gentle music continues)
- Morning, Will.
- Charlie.
Didn't even hear you
get going this morning.
You out late drinking
with Mayor McCluskey again?
(Charlie laughs)
No, yeah, I just couldn't sleep,
so I just came over early.
Well, thanks for the head start.
Hey, you ever do that?
Go out drinking with the mayor?
Not since middle school.
I believe you.
(Charlie laughs)
[Will] How's Grace doing?
She's okay.
She's okay, she's liking the time off.
Just didn't expect the school
to retire her so early.
Getting to spend more time down
with the grandkids, though.
- That's good to hear.
- [Charlie] Yeah.
Yeah.
You still working over at the bar too?
A couple nights a week, yeah.
Keeps me busy.
- That's good.
That's good.
What's up, Charlie?
Spit it out.
Will, I'm gonna have to
cut your mornings down.
- Again, huh?
- I know, I know.
It's been hard since Grace got let go.
Bills are stacking up.
It's just, well, it's just
a little tight right now.
I get it, for real, Charlie, I do.
Come on, I'll give you a lift.
(gentle country guitar music)
(engine revs)
(gentle country guitar music continues)
Thanks, Charlie.
You still coming to the
house for dinner on Wednesday?
Gotta be around people
every now and again, Will.
Good for the soul.
You don't know where my soul's been.
I don't care where you've been, I.
Care where we're going, yeah.
What are you guys making?
Oh, you're picky all of a sudden?
No, I guess not.
We'll see you there.
(upbeat music)
Morning, Will.
Hey Sandy, how are you?
I'm doing good.
Got a little present for you.
Oh, you know you don't have to.
[Will] I know, but I do.
[Sandy] Thank you, I'll
get your drinks for you.
(coin rattles)
Here we go.
- [Will] Thanks.
- [Sandy] You're welcome.
Let me know if you need anything.
Will do.

(gunshot bangs)
(bluesy guitar music)
(cash register dings)
All right, here's another, easy one.
You tell that Wildcat behind
the wheel not to slow down
or he'll never even get a
chance to bleed to death.
Is that the, that Tarantino fellow?
No, no, no, okay, same movie.
Pop quiz, hot shot.
There's a bomb on a bus.
If it drops below 50, it blows up.
What do you do?
I don't know, Annie, you got me.
Dennis Hopper, Keanu?
"Speed".
Oh, is Jon Voight in that one?
No, not that one.
I love Jon Voight.
Me too, Harold, me too.
Keep the change, you filthy animal.
- Yeah, there you go.
- Night, Annie.
Goodnight.
(door clicks shuts)
The last one just left.
We are a-closed.
Don't you mean that's a wrap?
Good one.
I still gotta cash out the register.
Long day, Hollywood?
Same day.
Over and over
and over and over and over again.
How about you?
Well, so usually I chop
the onions using this knife.
Today, went a little
nuts and used this one.
I'm glad to see you're getting
out of your comfort zone.
[Will] Thanks.
Well, can I interest you
in a beer of your choice
as an excuse to help me
avoid doing my cash out?
I don't drink.
[Annie] Since when?
[Will] Always.
How did I not know that?
Fine, never mind.
Hey, but I'll take a
coffee if that'll, you know,
still help you procrastinate.
Deal.
(gentle country music)
(Annie laugh)
Come on, what's wrong with "E.T."?
There's nothing wrong with "E.T.",
but come on, that's
it, that's all you got?
I don't know, I don't
really watch a lot of movies.
Oh no, you're one of those.
One of those?
How am I supposed to talk to you
if I can't use movie lines?
You're just gonna have
to get creative, Hollywood.
I give up.
- It's so awkward.
It's getting there, yeah.
I mean, you don't have
to let me win, right?
You know that.
- I'm not, I assure you.
I'd be pretty embarrassed at this point.
Oh, trust me, this is horrifying.
And you're not even drinking, so.
Maybe I should start.
So you're sticking with the coffee?
Yeah.
[Annie] Okay.
Did you fill out that application yet?
You didn't, did you?
I'm,
I have a process.
See you're pronouncing it
wrong, it's pronounced excuse.
Ooh.
Yeah, you like that one?
So I kick your ass and you
gotta take me down a peg?
I'm just trying to be helpful.
Hey, you could list me as a reference.
They'll never listen to
someone who doesn't watch movies.
Yeah, probably not.
So what about you?
What's your next destination
after you get outta here?
Who said I'm headed anywhere?
Come on.
You're just gonna tend to Charlie's farm
the rest of your life?
Settle down in our little old town.
I don't know about all that,
but it's fun to slow things
down for a little while.
Yeah, but like, what are your
dreams or goals or whatever?
What do you wanna do?
Right now, I'm fine where I'm at.
You always do that.
What?
Every time we start talking, you just,
you know, some people do
wanna learn about the new guy.
There's not much to him.
Okay.
(pensive music)
I should probably finish up.
Yeah, me too.
(pensive music continues)
(lighter clicks)
- Hello?
- Motherfucker.
Sorry, the door was open.
We're closed.
Yeah, I know, but does
Will still work here?
You're a friend of Will's?
Yeah, we're old friends.
Is he working tonight?
He'll be back in a sec.
My man, can I bum a smoke off you?
You don't want one of
these, man, they're rolled.
People still do that.
[Will] Yeah, I'm the only one.
Almost makes it kind
of rare then, right?
You gotta let me try one.
You're not from around here.
It's that obvious?
So how do you know Will?
Can I trouble you for a drink?
It's been a day.
What do you want?
Scotch.
All right.
You don't like pre-roll
'em or something?
Seems like that'll take
forever, right, every time.
Yeah, maybe.
Go through 'em faster
that way too, though.
Can't argue with that.
Name's Lewis, by the way.
Will.
That's what I thought.
It has been a long day.
(ominous music)
My fucking car broke down.
And you know, when I
went to the dealership,
those guys sold me on a
brand-new hybrid, right?
I think what they said was
you'd be shocked at how
much money you save on gas.
The only thing shocking about that car is
how much I fucking hate it.
[Annie] Oh wow.
But I won't trouble
you with my problems.

(punches resound)
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
- Can you stand?
- Yeah.
Come on, let's go.
(dramatic music continues)
[Annie] What the fuck, what the fuck,
what the fuck, what the fuck?
[Will] Are you singing?
[Annie] I don't know.
Never been shot at before.
I don't know what my body's doing.
What the hell is going on?
Do you have your phone?
Oh shit, I don't have my
phone, I left it at the bar.
Do you have yours?
[Will] I don't have a phone.
[Annie] What are you, Amish?
[Will] That's offensive.
(dramatic music continues)
(tranquil music)
[Annie] God, it smells like shit.
How far is it?
[Will] It's 14 miles
driving, I'm not sure this way.
14 miles, exactly,
not 15 or 13 and a half?
I don't really do fractions.
Will and Annie trudged to freedom
through 14 miles of shit-smelling foulness
I can't even imagine.
"Shawshank".
You've never, of course
you've never seen "Shawshank".
Why would you have seen
anything or have any idea
what I'm referring to?
I don't believe you.
I have no idea what a "Shawshank" is.
No, you don't know who those guys were?
No.
Or why they were after you?
Why do you think they were after me?
I think they were just
trying to rob the place
and they didn't wanna get.
- They specifically
asked for you.
Maybe they just know I worked there.
And you just happen to
know how to fight like that.
YouTube.
YouTube.
Tell me the truth or I'm
not going any further.
Fine.
- No, you can't go
back to town, all right?
If it was just two guys ripping us off,
why can't I go to the cops?
[Will] Don't go to,
what are the cops gonna do
anyway, huh?
- What are the,
what are we even talking about here?
Look, please just stop questioning me
like this, all right, you gotta stop.
I just had a gun in my face.
- [Will] I know.
- That guy knew you.
[Will] No he didn't, I have
no idea who they were, okay?
- Stop lying.
- I'm not lying to you.
I don't know who they were.
- Who are they?
- I don't know.
- Who are you?
- What do you mean?
- All right, enough.
I am not walking 13 and
fucking three eighth miles
into the woods so you can
kill me or tie me to a tree
or practice jujitsu or some stupid shit.
All right, they weren't
there trying to rob you, okay?
They were there trying to kill me.
The guy who attacked you
at the bar, I know him.
We used to work together.
Testified against him in federal court.
Now I live here.
You're in witness protection?
(Annie sighs)
Oh my God.
Ask the guy to have a coffee,
seems cool, little quiet.
But what's the worst that could happen?
What did you do for them?
Let's just say I have a
particular set of skills.
Oh, that one you know.
Contract hits, bad guys
only, rival criminals,
drug dealers, murderers.
Says the guy pulling the trigger.
I need a minute.
Look, we gotta keep moving.
Once we get to Charlie's. You'd
never have to see me again.
I'm not going anywhere with you.
Look, this might be normal for you,
but I don't kill people. Or
Right now, you don't
really have a choice, okay?
Can't go back to town.
There's gonna be 10 guys
there canvassing the place
looking for us.
Just stick with me till
we get to Charlie's,
then you never have to see me again.
Look, you wanted the truth,
I'm telling you the truth.
Why would I have just made that up?
Come with me if you wanna live.
Do you know any
references from this decade?
Is "Toy Story 3" this decade?
No.
Then no.
[Annie] Unbelievable.
[Will] So we're good now?
[Annie] No, I'm still angry.
(tense music)
Yo, Brooks, you seeing
what I'm seeing, right?
The fuck is this man doing,
fucking books and puzzles, man?
This is the shit he gave us up for,
fucking, "The Best Poems of the English",
the fuck is this, books and puzzles?
You couldn't pay me enough money to stay
in this shitty ass
apartment for three years.
Yeah, it's good to know
if we gotta look for you,
it'll be in penthouses.
- Something, man.
The Bahamas, la Costa Rica.
You catch me doing puzzles and reading
"Pride and Prejudice" in the
middle of bum fucking nowhere.
(phone rings)
Look, I wanna swallow it
while you pull the trigger
real quick, simple.
Yeah,
we're here.
No, it doesn't look like he's been back.
No, don't.
I need you to calm down.
Yeah.
[Lewis] Losing it?
[Brooks] Yeah, just a bit.
Let put this camera up,
man, we can get outta here.
He's not coming back.
[Lewis] Maybe he fucks up.
[Brooks] He won't.
People fuck up all the time.
Why you always wanna shoot down my ideas?
Personally, I think I have great ideas.
People do.
He won't, let's go.
[Lewis] Fuck this shitty
ass apartment anyway.
Yo, Brooks, hold up man, hold up.
(water trickles)
Nope, rather be strangled again.
We could arrange that.
Come on.
[Annie] Oh my God.
[Will] It's like a mud bath, you know?
[Annie] No it's not.
So why can't we just go
to the cops? Didn't you
already like, I don't know,
cut a deal or something?
Well, yeah, but small
town police department,
they'll be watching.
They might have intimidated
someone or bribed someone.
So what, do you have like
a contract on your head?
Well, those guys do not
work for free, so probably.
Come on, you got it.
You're gonna have to let me know
how much it is.
Could really use the money.
Hate to disappoint you
but these are not the guys
you wanna try to collect from.
Were you at least good
at, you know, being an
assassin or whatever?
All my Yelp scores
have been pretty solid.
Did have one bad review,
but I think that guy was just
having a shitty day, you know?
Come on man, I could just
use a little bit of good news.
Yeah,
I'm good.
But you know, so are they, so.
You couldn't just let me have that?
Just fucking leave it alone.
(gentle music)
Long night?
(fly buzzes)
Thank you.
Of course, thanks, Charlie.
Napkins.
Where's the fire?
Behind us, but gaining.
How bad is it?
Sorry to come to you like this Charlie.
You're the only person I trust.
What do you need?
Your car, if you can spare it.
I'll get it back to you as
soon as I can, I promise.
Maybe a little cash
and a gun.
This is pretty serious.
You can take the truck.
I don't have any money to give
you, here, you can take this.
It's all the cash I got.
And I can loan you my rifle from the barn.
Thank you, Charlie.
Anything else you need?
Let Annie stay here for a couple days.
What, no.
Wait 72 hours and then call this number.
[Annie] Just say three days, Jesus.
Wait three days and
then call this number.
Ask for Anderson.
Tell her the truth, everything.
(pensive music)
That's your secret stash?
Well, my rocket launcher
is in the shop, so.
I mean, you don't even
have any money in there.
Yeah, this is my
backup to my backup plan
one in my apartment has money, more ammo,
a bunch of other shit.
This was only in case
things went, you know,
Bay of Pigs tits up sideways, so
glad we're here.
I have so many questions.
I know.
Like, I mean, where are you going?
I mean, what are you gonna do?
Are you gonna have to leave the country?
Can you really kill
somebody with your pinky?
And you're not gonna tell me any of that?
Sorry.
[Annie] So that's it, I
won't even know if you made it?
That's just the way this works.
[Annie] I mean, at least
tell me your real name.
- No.
- [Annie] Come on.
Probably find out from the police anyway.
[Will] Then find out from them.
When I sell the story,
I'll totally change it.
No.
Is it Michael?
You look like a Michael.
- No.
- Anthony?
- [Will] No.
- Eric?
- [Will] No.
- Julio?
- No.
Would you tell me if I guessed it?
- Of course.
- Really?
No.
Does it rhyme with Schmeddy?
I'm not gonna tell you.
Does it start with a vowel?
Austin, Oscar,
Inigo Montoya.
Charlie.
Charlie?
(ominous music)
(gunshot bangs)
(ominous music continues)
(dramatic music)
(gunshot bangs)
Get down there, get down there, go.
Shit, fuck.
(dramatic music continues)
(Brooks and Will grunt)
(punches resound)
(Lewis and Will grunt and pant)
(punches resound)
(dramatic music continues)
(punches resound)

(men groan)
(punches resound)
(Will gasps)
(Annie groans)
(Lewis screams)
(dramatic music continues)
(air hisses)
What are you doing?
So they can't follow.
Love the energy, but next time,
disable the hunk of junk.
Take the one from this century.
Oh, right.
(engine revs)
I am sorry about Charlie.
You have the money?
I guess the Four Seasons is out.
Yeah, that's not gonna get us far.
[Annie] What do we do now?
I need a phone.
(exercise bike wheel spins)
(alarm beeps)
[Influencer] Hi guys.
Today I'm gonna be showing
(indistinct)
- Morning, my love.
- Morning.
- How are you feeling today?
- Good.
Yeah?
Did you take your pills this morning?
- Mm-hmm.
- Okay.
You good enough to eat?
- Mm-hmm.
Are you sure?
'Cause this crust is the best part.
(child giggles)
Where's Daddy?
[Child] He left already.
Hmm.
Well, Daddy's gonna take
you to your appointment
right after school and then I'll see you
right after that.
- Okay.
All right, Mom needs some coffee
and then let's hit the road.
- [Child] Okay.
Do you think you're
gonna learn anything today?
- No, not really.
- No?
You know it all already, huh?
- Yeah.
Well, let's just skip to college, then.
(thunder rumbles)
There you go, babe.
(phone rings)
Anderson.
[Voice Over Phone] Patching
call, code 808, please verify.
Alpha 306917.
[Voice Over Phone]
Verified, hold for connection.
(phone beeps)
- Matador.
- [Will] Albatross.
Where are you?
Status?
Blown.
[Anderson] Hostiles?
Yeah, in pursuit.
- Are you injured?
- [Will] Negative.
Good, we can extract and reestablish.
I don't wanna be reestablished.
I'll take my chances on my own.
I just need a jump start.
Let's not get ahead of
ourselves, we can discuss.
I know what I'm saying.
You're not gonna talk me down.
Can you help me or not?
Okay, got a pen?
Go.
over one by 19.
8287842597 over one by 19.
Hang on.
Yeah, we can make that.
We?
Civilian, long story.
Be careful.
Thanks.
Was that a conversation?
That way in case someone is listening,
they won't know what we're saying.
Hey, thanks.
- Have a good one.
What do the numbers mean?
Coordinates, where
we're meeting, scrambled.
Over one by 19?
One day from today, 19:00,
so tomorrow night at 7:00.
So where are we going?
It's a surprise.
Great, more surprises.
I love your surprises.
(tense music)
Well, we can't exactly chase them down
on a fucking tractor.
Does it sound like I'm joking?
Yeah,
mm-hmm,
we'll be ready,
okay.
Telling you Brooks,
I'm stabbing her in the
fucking face with this thing.
[Brooks] You're gonna carry
that thing around with you
just to be poetic?
Then a regular fork.
Reinforcements are on their way.
We'll be back on the road by tomorrow.
Good, ready to be done with
this motherfucker anyway.
How does it work?
Did you get to pick where you went?
No.
They actually ask you
about like every place
you've ever been or
you've always wanted to go
and then send you to the opposite.
So you didn't ask to be
a farm hand/line cook in
the middle of nowhere?
No.
I don't know, it could been worse though.
I guess.
So where are you from?
Like, where did this all happen?
I'm not gonna tell you
the name of that, Annie.
Sorry, nothing specific.
The less you know about me the better.
Did you ever get used to it?
Oh, I mean it was pretty
lonely at first, but.
No, no,
did you get used to?
(Annie gurgles)
No.
You get good at
compartmentalizing, though.
I just don't know how you could.
I have to detach from it.
Justify in my head somehow.
You know, when I was in the service.
I spent all these years
getting really good
at something
and then I was,
and then it was over.
I don't know, I imagine
it's kind of like being
a professional athlete who retires, right?
Can't replicate that anywhere.
That control,
power.
As fucked up as it sounds,
I feel more comfortable
with a gun to my head
than anywhere else.
I wouldn't know what to
do with a gun to my head.
Clearly.
(insects chirp)
All right, here's your gun.
Doesn't look like a gun.
Supposed to use your
imagination, Hollywood, come on.
(emotive country music)
Okay, what do I do?
Aim it at me.
Freeze.
All right, first of all,
these guys will not say freeze,
but.
[Annie] Shit.
All right, lemme show you what it,
so first of all, all right,
so you never wanna hold a pistol
with just one hand, right?
You wanna stabilize it with this hand.
Ah, we got a long handle there, but,
and with this hand, I'm
gonna hit your wrist.
- Okay.
- This hand,
I'm gonna get the gun.
So,
and then I back away and I have the gun.
I let you have that one.
[Will] Sure you did.
Lemme show you that again.
Okay.
So I come in with both hands
kind of at the same time,
hit your wrist with this hand,
your right wrist with this hand,
grab the barrel with this
hand and get it from you.
And then I take a step back.
Now you try.
- [Annie] Okay.
- Okay.
- [Annie] So.
So, I'm aiming at you.
- [Annie] Yeah.
- Square up to me.
Left hand, yep, hit's my wrist.
That hand's gonna grab the barrel, yeah.
- And then I do this.
- [Will] Yep.
To here?
[Will] Make sure you step
back as soon as you got
your hands on the gun.
Yeah.
- [Annie] Step back.
Yeah.
What about that sideways
thing I see that in the movies
all the time?
Headshot.
No?
Okay, okay, fine.
Yep, yep, you're just
casually about to get shot
in the face, exactly,
yeah.
Yes.
My stepdad always had guns
in the house growing up,
but I never touched them.
Didn't want to,
hated that they were there.
This is more gun work than I've ever done.
[Will] You really hate a lot
about where you grew up, huh?
Yeah.
So why haven't you left yet?
Well,
when I was a little girl, I, it's silly,
but I just, I dreamed that
one day someone special
would come along and I'd, you know,
be on the run for my life
and worry about being shot at
or choked to death
and that would get me
outta this little old town.
Fear of being murdered by
crime syndicate hit men.
(emotive country music continues)
(insects chirp)
(tires crunch on gravel)
Oh, I would kill for a shower.
Been there.
Kidding.
Can I ask you something?
I'd be surprised if you didn't.
What changed,
to make you testify?
Was it just that you got caught or?
No, I didn't get caught.
I did 16 jobs for them.
Rival drug dealers, other
criminal organizations.
Only bad guys.
Yeah,
so we get this new assignment.
There's a truckload of
weapons headed for Canada.
We intercept, hurts them, good for us.
(metal creaks)
I worked a lot with
these two other hitters.
Thought all you hit
men guys worked alone?
Don't believe everything
you see on screen, Hollywood.
Anyway, I worked a lot with these two.
Call 'em M and G.

(tense music continues)
Hey, there's my A-Team.
You guys look to be in one piece.
No issues.
That's good.
We like simple around here.
Come on, let's get you guys paid.
(tense music continues)
Well,
it was a pleasure doing business with you.
Drink?
- I'm good.
[Brooks] Suit yourself.
[Person Off-Camera] Move it.
Go on, go.
(somber music)
- What the fuck is this?
- Oh that?
That's none of your concern.
You guys did a great job today.
Here, don't spend it all in one place.
I did not sign up for this.
No?
Well then what did you sign up for?
Well you said it was weapons.
I did?
It wasn't.
Are we gonna have a problem?
We just stole a box truck
full of teenage girls.
Yeah, I think we're gonna
have a problem here.
So he has a line, that's great.
Noble, even.
Thank you, sweetheart.
But you're willing to kill five guys
and steal a truck full
of weapons, no problem.
(money clatters)
But this,
this, no, never.
You know, I thought you
would've learned by now.
Lines don't hold up in this profession.
(gunshot bangs)
No.
(guns cock)
Get your fucking hands off me.
Yeah.
We're done.
- Oh, we're done?
- [Will] Out
we don't want this.
Now, hold on just a minute there, champ.
I am not willing to walk
this plank with you.
How about you sleep on it?
Oh hey,
a little something extra for your trouble.
(coin clinks)
I gave 'em up, all of them.
I told myself I was helping M and G.
I wouldn't give their identities
until they were promised
the same deal I was.
At that point, they
didn't have much choice.
In the end, it didn't even matter.
Took out a couple of low level guys.
Big wigs got off.
There's nothing else
you could have done.
Maybe.
I could have taken down the whole thing.
I'm not very experienced at all this,
but I think killing a shit
ton of other people is
usually not the morally righteous answer.
Would've felt a lot better than running.
(contemplative music)
(contemplative music continues)
(tense music)
(gunshot bangs)
(Will pants)
Jesus.
You okay?
Sorry.
How far are we?
Couple more hours.
Just gassed up with the rest of this.
(funky music)
Thou tellst me there
is murder in mine eye.
It is pretty, sure, and very probable
that eyes, which are the frailest
and softest things
should be called tyrants,
butchers, murderers.
Now I do frown on thee with all my heart.
And if mine eyes can wound,
let them now kill thee.
I'm sorry, what the fuck
is she saying right here?
That she's gonna stab him with her eyes?
- [Director] Hold let's reset.
- Come on.
[Director] Let's reset.
I'm sorry, Bruce.
I have to understand
what's happening here.
We've been over this 20 goddamn times.
[Molly] Don't attack
my method (indistinct).
Calm, calm, calm, calm, calm, calm.
Let's breathe.
Let's breathe.
(director inhales and exhales loudly)
Breathe every word one at a time.
Feel the rhythm
of your breathing.
Excuse me,
John, would you mind terribly moving
that equipment from back there?
I'd like to keep the creative space clear.
Yep, on it.
Okay, Molly, let's start
from the top of your speech.
You still haven't addressed my question.
Oh, for Christ's sake.
[Molly] Don't start.
Just read the lines.
Read, say,
read, say,
I don't understand the
fucking problem here.
(director exhales loudly)
(birds chirp)
[Annie] You sure you
got the coordinates right?
(tense music)
You know, I always
said if I saw you again,
I'd kill you,
but.
No but.
(tense music escalates)
(Annie grunts)
(tense music continues)
(broom handle snaps)
Stop this.
(broom handle clatters)
(tense music continues)
(punches resound)
(men pant)
I'm not here for you.
Just a coincidence?
I didn't even know you were here, man.
See, now that is damn funny,
considering you're the
reason I'm even here
in the first place.
Save it.
You know, the last time I saw my kid?
Was at his third birthday party.
Got him this little tool chest,
little fake hammer and nails and shit.
Loved it.
And then the Feds showed up at my door,
gave me just enough
time to kiss him goodbye
and I haven't seen him since
'cause of your decisions.
You're right.
That's all you got?
After all this time?
Get the fuck outta here.
Well,
glad to see you two are
getting reacquainted.
So how did they find us?
We're not sure.
We didn't know it happened
until Michael contacted us.
Ha, I knew it.
I guessed it.
Michael.
[Will] Mullen?
A few days ago.
Right before they came after you.
(punches resound)
(gunshot bangs)
(gunshot bangs)
[Gibson] So when do we move?
You got some time.
Extraction won't be here for a few hours.
I'd get cozy.
What about me?
We could offer you some
type of placement too,
if that's what you want.
Otherwise, we can get you back home.
Think about it.
Where are you going?
If I'm gonna be stuck here
for another several hours,
I sure don't want to do it
sitting next to you fucks.
Sorry, didn't mean to scare you.
Getting pretty used to it at this point.
Occupational hazard.
Will said you run a bar back home.
I bar tend and serve food.
It's pretty dull most of the time.
Seems peaceful.
Yeah, that's probably why I hate it.
- Oh?
- I don't hate it.
But
after high school, I was just
ready to get out, you know?
Film school, move to L.A., work on movies.
And then?
Couldn't even afford community college.
What are you hoping to
get out of this, Annie?
Before two days ago,
I was dying for a little
bit of excitement, anything.
Now I've been choked and shot at
and I'm just not sure it
was all I was hoping for.
I've lived in that tiny
ass town my whole life.
Just thought I'd be doing something big.
When I first became a Marshall,
I was pretty ambitious too,
and idealistic.
There were good guys
and there were bad guys.
I was gonna be on the good guy
side and make a difference.
About a year ago, our daughter got sick.
My husband and I were on
the brink of a divorce.
He actually already found an apartment
and all of our attention changed.
Now I do what I need to get by
one foot in front of the
other, one day at a time,
all that other clich bullshit.
Sooner or later, you figure
out what's most important,
the thing you'd trade anything for.
That's what's big for you.
I'll give you some time.
(coin clinks)
Looks good.
Didn't ask.
Why'd you go with so many nines?
[Gibson] It's not so many, okay,
it's a few.
I'm just saying, you could use
like an MP5 or something.
Oh really.
What'd you bring, huh?
Empty fucking air?
Just saying.
Yeah, well don't,
your suggestions are duly noted.
You think you got enough ammo?
Look, could you not
stand over my shoulder
the entire fucking night please?
Christ, man, we're
on the same team here.
Really?
You know, the first year I was here,
spent every night thinking
about cutting your throat.
- I know, I get that.
- Do you?
I'm not so sure.
Look,
it wasn't 'cause you
wanted out, all right?
I got that,
eventually.
I mean, what happened
with those girls was.
The fact is,
you went to the Feds
instead of us.
You could have given us a heads up,
told us what you were gonna do.
Instead, here we are.
So
Do me a favor,
save the rah, rah, go team
bullshit for somebody else, okay?
You forgot your clip.
(water splashes)
(hand dryer hums)
Didn't even have to kill anyone.
Would've been worth it, though.
Thank you.
You thought about what you wanna do?
Nah, I've been working on
some musical theater ideas I have.
I've got this one about this hitman
that's working undercover
on a stage adaptation called
"Forrest Gump and Guns".
Got this other one called
"Guys and Dolls and Guns".
They all seem to end with and guns, but.
I don't know.
I am surprised you're
gonna run again, though.
What's that supposed to mean?
Running to the Feds?
What choice do I have?
The same one, right?
I mean, this feels like the same choice.
It's not that simple.
[Annie] Well then explain it.
You spent two days in this world
and all of a sudden you know everything?
You know, you're full of shit.
[Will] Yeah.
You spent the last two years
trying to convince yourself
that you have to undo a bad decision.
But you're not,
you're still just running.
You don't know what
you're talking about.
Yeah, well I know that
in a week you're gonna be
in Baltimore or New Jersey or Flagstaff
or who the hell knows where
and you're gonna have a new
fake name and a new fake job.
And exactly nothing will
have actually changed.

Hi.
Um,
did you find everything okay?
I did, thanks.
Do you have a rewards card?
No, I don't.
Do you wanna open one?
No, it's okay.
Do you wanna make a donation?
Not today, no thanks.
Okay,
that's gonna be 25 even.
Okay.
- Thanks.
- There you go.
(cash register beeps)
- There you go.
- Thanks.
Do you have a bathroom?
(contemplative music)
(suspenseful music)
Tie them up in the back.
(suspenseful music continues)
(train horn blares)

(contemplative music)
Fuck.
(dramatic music)
(Gibson coughs)
Where are we?
Home sweet home.
What happens now?
Well,
if I'm lucky,
I'll get to play 20 Questions.
You, on the other hand,
it'll be a different road.
I'm sorry.
Babe, I can't come right now.
No, I told you I can't.
No, I got, I have to work,
love, you know what it is.
Look,
she's.

Mikey.
Oh Mikey.
Oh wait, I'm sorry.
It's Will.
Will.
That is what they call you now, right?
Let me make you a deal, Will.
You come out now
and little Miss Annie here,
she gets to keep all her fingers.
Otherwise, I can't promise
your little girlfriend
won't start losing those
one
by one
by one.
(tense music continues)
Let her go.
Toss it.
(gun clatters)
Thank you.
No loose ends this time.
No.
(gunshot bangs)
(gunshot bangs)
(emotive music)
Kind of dramatic,
don't you think?
That's how they do it
in Hollywood, isn't it?
(emotive music continues)
No, okay.
Paul Thomas Anderson, "Boogie
Nights", "The Master".
Wes Anderson, "Grand Budapest Hotel"
and "Royal Tenenbaums".
Two completely different directors.
Sounded like a lot of names.
So who am I watching then?
Wesley Thomas or?
Paul Thomas Anderson.
PTA.
PTA, okay, that's easier.
So PTA or
WA?
Both of 'em.
You gotta do 'em all.
Sounds like a commitment.
It is, but you asked.
Ready for a road trip?
Could have grabbed that.
Oh no, no, no.
No more favors from you.
I don't think I could
handle owing you anything.
Annie
Gibson.
I mean this with all due
admiration and respect,
but I hope I never see you again.
Likewise.
Please be careful.
Look, two out of work
assassins taking down
a crime boss and his whole organization?
What could go wrong?
It writes itself.
That way's West.
Keep going until you hit an ocean.
Will we ever see each other again?
Never count out a sequel.

Hey there Molly
I'm just calling 'cause I'm
about to go out of my mind
The rain keeps a-falling
Falling, falling and a mile
of ways are wasting my time
Why don't you come on by
And allow me to remind you
of the charming twinkle
In my eye
And if you don't mind
Grab a bottle of wine
and we'll be fine
Until we see sunshine
Or you can leave in the
morning if you feel that way
Or I can fix you some
breakfast if you want to stay
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
