VICTOR: My name is Victor Reyes..
VICTOR: and I used to kill people for a living.
VICTOR: But don't worry, they were bad people...
VICTOR: mostly.
VICTOR: And then one day, I'd had enough.
SUGIMOTO: So just like that-You're quitting?
Just like that.
It is not like being a plumber
or working for the fire department.
If I don't do it now.
I never will.
And the girl?
That'll be up to her.
See you ‘round.
VICTOR: I wanted a different life.
VICTOR: I wanted a family.
VICTOR: I didn't want to be a killer anymore.
(sad music playing)
VICTOR: So I tried to get Ayana, the girl I loved
VICTOR: to leave with me, and start a new life.
VICTOR: But she just wasn't ready
VICTOR: to settle down to the quiet life.
VICTOR: I wish that conversation would have gone better.
(dramatic music plays)
(waves crashing on rocks)
(Russian) Hey!
(Russian) Are you a mermaid?
(Russian) Or just drunk?
(dramatic music returns)
(fight sounds)
(Latin music plays)
VICTOR: This is my life now.
VICTOR: I'm married to a beautiful woman I love
VICTOR: with two beautiful kids.
VICTOR: A house in a nice neighborhood.
VICTOR: And a nice mortgage.
VICTOR: I do some community service,
VICTOR: I coach soccer,
VICTOR: and I teach martial arts for kids.
VICTOR: It's boring.
VICTOR: It's typical, I know.
VICTOR: but nobody dies.
VICTOR: And I love it.
MAX: Then he roundhoused like this:
And he missed by a mile.
Josh and Sean are a bunch of losers.
I'm just glad you stayed out of it.
Those two are probably going to get suspended.
Right, honey?
Right, honey??
Probably, if not expelled.
Look, Max, we know you know how to take care of yourself.
But remember, part of that is knowing how to assess the situation,
the immediate dangers, and the ones down the road that you can't see.
I know, I know.
Look, you got a good head on your shoulders.
You’ll know what to do when it happens.
Thank you. Yeah, you're welcome.
(mumbled talking)
Mm hmm.
Can I get you guys anything else?
(Max belches)
To go boxes, please?
I'll be right back.
Thank you.
Weirdo.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Why don’t you take them home? I'm going to go check in on the dojo.
Okay. You’ll be safe getting back home?
Yeah, I could use a walk after all that pizza.
Okay. I'll see you back home in a few.
All right.
Bye.
(suspenseful music)
Who’s here?
Oh, no, no, no, no, no!
Let me explain... No, not again.
Every time. Every single time
you pop back into my life, everything goes into the toilet.
Not again, okay? Not again.
I don't have anywhere else to go.
Please?
Who did that?
I had
a... disagreement... with my former employer.
Is it ‘former employer’ because you quit the job
or ‘former employer’ because you [mimics croaking]
More like second.
Right.
Okay,
look, Ayana, it's great seeing you and all.
It really is... but I have a family now.
I have a wife.
I have a son.
I have a daughter.
I'm someone's daughter, too, Victor.
Strictly speaking, yes.
This you?
Every time.
Oh, hey, we're not open right now.
But I guess that's obvious because the lights are off and it's 9:30 at night.
Where is she?
Where is..?
You gotta help me, man. I'm no good at the pronoun game.
You know who I'm talking about.
I promise, I have no earthly idea who you're talking about.
Last chance.
I think it's time for you to leave.
(dynamic music)
(fight sounds)
(elbow breaks)
(other elbow breaks)
Now what?
(neck snaps)
See?! That's what I'm talking about.
You've been here for, like, 22 seconds, and now my dojo is a crime scene.
I mean, that must be a record for you, right?
There will be more like him.
How many more?
As many as it takes.
Until I’m dead.
You really have a way of making enemies, don't you?
But we are not enemies,
right Victor?
I mean,
we used to be so close...
Okay, let's take a step back.
Like a literal step back.
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
You realize you just saying that one word ‘okay’ over and over again, right?
Yes, I'm aware. Thanks.
Okay, you can stay at the school for a few days.
There's a futon in my office, you just have to move the equipment out of the way.
Okay.
I take it you need money, right?
Great. One less thing to worry about.
VICTOR: I'll check on you in the morning.
Hopefully by then, you can kind of get yourself together to move on.
Okay.
You realize you keep saying that word over and over again, right?
(tender music plays)
Oooooo-kay.
Now I know why you're doing this every night...
MARZANA: The blood gets into all these hard-to-reach areas.
I find this is easier on my skin than all that scrubbing.
Milk of your mother country.
Nostrovia.
I have a job for you.
Someone killed my friend,
and I want you to take care of it.
I'm sure I can spare one of my guys to take care of him.
It's a ‘her’.
A female...
anyone I know?
We’re talking about Ayana?
Mm hmm.
Probably have to spare more than one.
Dmitri: my phone...
have to wake some people up.
(fingers tapping on phone)
Ayana’s always been loyal to the Brethren.
What are you implying?
Just stating a fact.
He’d be good, he’s local.
You kids with your texting.
In my time, we had to wait for a phone booth.
Barefoot?
Be careful.
Sorry.
You realize I'm probably going to lose some men
before one of them gets her, right?
I'm going to pay you very good money.
(phone alert sounds)
(sewing machine running)
(phone rings)
(duct tape)
Lift with your legs...
(body dragging)
(video game sounds)
Hey, Dad.
Yeah, bud.
You were really spacing, there.
Yeah. Sorry.
Will you be coming to my game tomorrow?
Of course! My starting center forward.
(TV in background)
All good, kiddo?
Yeah. Dad.
You good?
Sure.
(emotional music plays)
So you burn off any calories?
Yeah, yeah. You know, I've got to clear my head, and all.
DANI: Well, that’s good.
Hey, don’t forget it’s trash night.
Right...
(trash cans rolling)
(muffled fight sounds)
I'm going easy on you.
When did I ever say to take it easy?
VICTOR: Hey, you here?
Hey.
Brought you some arroz con pollo... Gracias.
Mmm...
Did your wife make this?
Yeah. She's a good cook.
Is she good at other wifely things?
That's none of your business.
But, yes, she is.
Good.
I'm happy for you, Victor-really.
You deserve a good woman and stable life.
One where you're not jumping on a C-130 in the middle of the night
to drop into Tunisia, or Qatar, or Burma, or whatever other hotspot.
We saw a lot of bad places, a lot of bad things.
But there were good times, though, right?
We were young and in love,
tearing ass all across the Third World- taking out threats
and then going out for Lao Lao’s, or Rakia, or Ouzo...
staying up ALL night...
and then sleeping in First Class the whole way back.
I know what you're doing.
I'm not doing anything.
I'm eating my arroz con pollo,
and reminiscing with my ex.
No, you're trying to make me feel nostalgic, so I’ll help you.
Okay, maybe a little.
It's not going to work.
All right.
Won’t.
Copy that.
Maybe put some pants on?
Working on it.
(text message alert)
What's up?
I just got a text from our dry cleaners that are clothes are already.
What?
You normally get texts from your dry cleaners?
No.
(foreboding music)
(electric door chime)
KAIN: I’ll be right there...
(electric door chime)
What are you doing here, hon? I thought you asked me to pick up the cleaning.
I thought I messaged you that I was going to pick up the stuff.
Wow, such a funny mistake.
And here we are, both of us- one more than needs to be here.
Why don't you take off and I'll pick up the stuff.
I have the car right here in the lot.
It makes more sense if I just do it.
No, you should go to work.
I mean, look at the time. You don't want to be late.
Did you take allergy medicine this morning?
You know that stuff makes you all hyper. That must be it.
I mean, the pollen count is so high, it's just...
murder.
Oh, hi:
last name is Reyes.
We uh... we don't have your order ready.
But you texted us.
My mistake. So sorry for the inconvenience.
Dani: It is kind of an inconvenience- I have to get to work.
Again, so sorry.
(dramatic music)
I mean, maybe we could get a discount or something for next time.
It's all good.
I mean, he's just a small business, just trying to get by, right?
It's very challenging.
No more allergy medicine for you!
Sorry, babe.
Okay then, honey-have a great day at work.
Okay, seriously, honey: drink some herbal tea or something, all right?
You're like a crazy person right now.
Okay, babe. See you tonight!
You do not go after my ex-boyfriend.
(techno fight music plays)
You’ve known this guy for a while?
He's worked here for years!
I mean he cleaned my daughter's communion dress after she spilled cranberry juice on it.
10% bleach solution, soda water, little bit of salt.
Thanks. So?
So what?
What do you want to do with him?
I don't know.
He was gonna kill your wife or torture her to get to you.
To get to me. He's a sleeper.
They have them everywhere. Every little town in the US.
He's probably known about you all along.
It's true.
So I ask again, what do we do?
Because I say we kill him and dump him in the river.
That's my vote, if you're interested.
D... do I get a vote?
It just seems...
Seems?
Cold.
Of course it’s cold. We're killing him in cold blood.
That's what the phrase means. Right?
Maybe we could switch him to our side and make him an ally.
It's a great idea!
It's a terrible idea.
He will switch back and kill us the first chance he gets.
The idea does have some flaws.
AYANA: Victor, it's your family’s safety we are talking about.
Victor?
What are you doing?
(elbow snaps, Kain screams)
What are you doing?
Let him try to come at me with a broken sword arm.
You’re assuming he’s right handed?
Yeah.
What if he's ambidextrous?
(intense music plays)
Thank you for not killing me!
(Russian folk music plays)
DMITRI: Boss...
We got word:
The first few attempts to eliminate the target were...
I mean, they weren't...
She’s still alive.
For God's sakes, stop stuttering, Dmitri.
It's nothing you haven't seen before.
There, is that better?
Can you go back to speaking like an adult now?
Yes, madam Marzana. I’m sorry.
It’s all right.
You can keep your fingers... this time.
Leonard’s been activated as well?
Yes, he has yet to make contact.
Let's give him a day before we widen the net.
So what about The Swordsman?
Hold off on The Swordsman for now.
He's expensive.
You really need to get a girlfriend, Dmitri.
(phone rings)
Yeah.
You're the last one left.
Okay.
If you fail, she's bringing in The Swordsman.
I won't fail.
(gentle music plays)
VICTOR: they’re going to keep coming, aren't they?
Yes.
I'm sorry.
If you were sorry, you would leave now.
They know I've been here.
They would just show up to try to find out if you knew what I went.
So we're both screwed.
Pretty much.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I involved you and your family in this.
Oh crap my family!
Oh crap my family what?
VICTOR: My kid’s got a game!
(kids yelling)
Ref! Sub!
(whistle blows)
I thought you weren’t going to make it.
Of course, just things got a little crazy today.
How are things going?
That one center back is like a wall...
we keep stealing the ball away but we can’t get through.
Who’s she?
Oh, this is Ayana: she's a friend of mine.
Hello, Max.
Wow, she's very pretty.
Hey, let's stay focused.
Okay, let me go talk to the coach real fast.
The big kid...
...keeps taking the ball away, hmm?
Yeah.
So the question is,
how bad do you want to get the ball past him?
And what are you willing to do, to win?
SOCCER COACH: Ref! Sub!
(whistle blows / crowd reacts)
C’mon, Ref!
Come on, I fudged the number numbers a little bit, and I rounded down
and I kept a few pennies... okay, okay
It was dollars.
A lot... a lot of dollars.
Oh come on.. come on, come on!
I'll do your taxes for free.
Do you use those for work?
I bet you didn't know you could get a great deduction...
(Summers screams)
Stay on the line until the ball is kicked.
(kids cheering)
(Eva talking)
Oh, hey.
How's he doing?
He got knocked down, but he got up again.
Oh, I'm sorry. Have we met?
Oh, uh. Dani, this is Ayana.
We know each other... long time ago.
Oh. How’d you get that?
VICTOR: Mongoose AYANA: Mountain bike.
-mountain bike.
Ayana, this is my wife, Danielle.
Call me Dani.
Everyone does. It's great to meet you, Ayana.
Likewise.
(sinister music plays)
Hey, we usually take some of the kids out for pizza after the game.
Would you like to come?
I...
...would love to come.
So kind.
SUMMERS: I'll do anything, I’ll do anything.
SUMMERS: tell me what you want me to do.
SUMMERS: Just give me some mercy!
Okay, Mr. Summers. Let’s get back to it, shall we?
SUMMERS: I'll give you back some of the money, I have like $20 in my pocket!
(Summers screaming)
So hang on, You two were a legit thing back in the day?
For what, year and a half, right?
Was is that long?
Strange I never heard about this, but Victor doesn't really talk much abut that time.
VICTOR: It was... DANI:... right: a long time ago.
Okay then, so what was it that finally broke you two up?
It was another woman.
What?
You cheated on her? You dirtbag!
AYANA: No, no. It was me.
The other woman:
She was with me.
Oh, my God, really?
Wow.
I love women... But Victor is so old fashioned about these things.
That's what I always say.
See if you’d been more open minded
maybe you could have had a menege a trois...
VICTOR: Ummm, I’m totally open-minded.
I wasn’t... I mean I’m totally open minded.
Excuse me. I need to use the ladies’ room.
See?
I think it's going very well.
You never told me you were bisexual.
Honey, we’re ALL a little bisexual.
We're not. No, we're not. I mean, I'm not.
And you just keep believing that.
You'll be alright tonight?
I got a room just outside town-paid cash.
I will be fine... probably.
We'll figure out a plan in the morning.
Okay.
Thank you, babe.
Sorry: thank you, Victor.
Max:
he’s a lot like you.
Heeey,
I have more in the fridge.
Do you want one?
I already had my fill. Thanks.
All righty. Have a nice night.
You two.
(keycard beeps)
That was fun.
I'm glad you two met.
So you haven't talked to her in a while?
No, not since before us.
She's very attractive.
Yeah, her work keeps her in shape.
(hip hop music playing)
Hey, can I get you anything?
I'll take a beer.
Can I put it on my room tab?
Right.
Thank you.
So you don't want a free beer for me,
but you'll buy one from here?
Listen to me very carefully, pal.
I'm not the girl you try to pull this kind of thing with on any day, okay?
But DEFINITELY not today.
Trust me.
Seriously, dude,
I’m going to rip your damn face off, okay?
Go away.
Hey, lady said she wants to be left alone, huh pal?
Why don't you go change a keg or something?
Listen,
you don't have to be so hostile.
Come on. Come back to my room. Have a drink.
I think we can have some fun together.
Or...
we could just have some fun right here:
(bottle smashes)
(head hits bar)
(body hits the floor)
Okay.
Next time a woman says “leave me alone”,
what are we gonna do?
(arm dislocates) (Steven yells)
(moans of pain)
The next time a woman says “leave me alone”...
I'll walk away.
I completely understand.
Please stop hurting me.
I'll never bother anybody again. Please.
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Did you see what that crazy lady just did to me?
(floor impact)
(intense music)
Can we just...
It’s like my second flight in 2 minutes!
I got a job to do.
(speaks in Russian) I know you have a job to do.
That’s exactly what I used to say to everyone I killed...
but do you really think it’s a good enough justification?
Are we getting existential, or...?
I just mean-What's the point?
Like really.
Pay’s good.
Lots of things pay good
and you’re a capable guy.
You can own an Airbnb or invest in cryptocurrency...
or sell high-performance vehicles.
I mean, travel in this business is such a pain, right?
And they don't rent you the fancy cars or put you up in the four stars hotel,
do they?
They got me in a Kia.
See?
What if you're in a high speed car chase?
You're going to outrun the other guy in mom's grocery getter?
I'm just saying, the good days are behind us,
and you could do better in another field.
It is something to think about.
Good. I'm glad.
I'll think about it... right after I kill you
and get paid.
(glass breaks)
(dynamic music) (fight sounds)
(urinating)
Mistress...
Uh-oh... it's ‘Mistress’.
This can't be good.
Shakur is asking for a status update.
Yeah, I imagine is growing impatient by now.
There’s been no word from... well... any of the assassins we’ve sent so far.
Nobody?
Nope.
Well that sucks.
DMITRI: Shall we...? MARZANA: No!
Hold off on The Swordsman.
Okay...
Thank you, Dmitri.
I will report our failure to the boss.
Would you like me to come with?
So he can kill us both?
That doesn't make much sense, hun.
See you soon.
I hope.
VICTOR: It’s late. What do you need?
You are happy, Victor, aren't you?
Well, yeah.
You have so many nice things.
Nice house, pretty wife, cute kids.
I got lucky, I guess.
No, I don't think luck had anything to do with it.
You made a good decision getting out when you did.
And you’re a good person: good things come to good people...
sometimes.
You're a good person too, Ayana.
And yet here I am in this crappy motel.
Alone.
AYANA: Well, not alone, I guess.
AYANA: I mean, there’s the dead body in the bathroom.
A dead body?
Yeah, just another schmo-thought he's gonna
have a payday putting my body in his trunk.
But that one was nicer than most.
Well, I mean, we got to do something.
If housekeeping comes in tomorrow morning and there’s a
B. O. D. Y.
In your bathroom, it's going to get complicated, isn't it?
You might have a point.
AYANA: Also, I can’t get in my shower with him there!
So maybe you can come over and help me to get rid of him?
It’s late... okay.
I'll be there as soon as I can.
Honey, have you seen my keys?
On the counter.
(keys jingling)
You're going out?
It's late.
Yeah, I have to get some old equipment from the dojo to donate to the Boys and Girls Club.
You've had a few drinks.
I'll be fine.
Be right back!
Hurry up before someone sees us!
AYANA: you got this? VICTOR: I got this!
AYANA: You’re already looking winded.
VICTOR: It's been a while.
AYANA: I can’t hear you.
(too loud) I said it’s been a while since I carried a body!
AYANA: I told you to lift with your legs.
Thank you.
Thank you for coming out late tonight and helping me with this.
Of course, that's what friends do.
So we are?
Are what?
Still friends?
Yeah. Of course.
That’s nice.
You're late.
Last time I checked, I wasn't the one with the curfew.
What the hell's going on?
Hey, language.
No, no. You tell me.
Are you and Mom separating?
No, no, honey, we're not.
Everything seems weird.
More than normal, you mean?
Yeah.
Look, everything's going to be okay.
I'm going to make it okay.
Okay?
Okay.
Okay. Go to bed.
(fight sounds)
What the actual fuck is going on in here?
Why are you two fighting?
Dmitri, what are you even doing here? I told you to stay!
Bad dog!
Shakur, why were you choking my personal assistant?
SHAKUR: he started it. MARZANA: Don’t...
I came here to formally apologize to you.
That's good.
But I'm not offering you any fingers or any other parts of my anatomy, okay?
My men might have failed you, but I haven't.
Okay, you know what?
Give me that warrior: He’ll assist me.
But if it doesn't succeed...
MARZANA: I'm not agreeing... DMITRI: Fine.
Fine.
I'll make sure it gets done, ma’am.
Men...
(heavy music playing) (bag being punched/kicked)
Hey, what's up?
Yeah, I'll be there.
No, I'll be there for sure.
All right.
Hell, yeah.
Let's do this.
(punching)
VICTOR: One.. two... three... four... five...
VICTOR: six... seven... eight... nine...
It's been a minute.
It's been a lot of minutes.
Is she here?
No, but she's close.
I to know who she's in trouble with, and why?
Who’s she NOT in trouble with?
She was given a specific task.
And not only did she not complete that task,
she killed the operator who gave it to her.
What task?
I don't know.
Just that it was in the Caspian zone.
Her homeland?
The guy who issued the order,
it was his man she killed.
Name.
Ahmed Shakur.
Yeah.
Shakur?
He’s as real as they get.
He was brought up through the Ebon Dawn
and after that he was one of the founders of the 13 Wraiths.
They weren't just assassins, they were like some kind of death cult.
It took an entire army to put them down.
But he survived.
Barely.
What would it take to get her out of this? Make things right?
Besides her corpse?
More money than you have, man.
I want to talk to him.
No.
No, you don’t, Victor.
You got out-clean.
BARLOWE: Not everybody gets that.
AYANA: Well, it's been a while
since I had some girl/girl action.
Let's go.
I know you and Ayana have a history, but she's not your kid.
She made her choice.
Seriously, man:
you have too much to lose now.
It's good to see you again, though.
AYANA: Would have been more fun the other way.
Get in.
What's up?
We have a meeting.
Where are we going?
To put an end to this thing you just started.
Were you just limping?
Who the hell is this guy?
We're here to see the boss man...
and you’re not him because just like a hair thing...
I'm the one you speak to first.
Then you can talk to Shakur.
I'm assuming the assassin we've sent is...
The girl? Yeah, she's dead.
What girl?
It was while you were having your meeting.
VICTOR: Where is she? AYANA: In a dumpster behind Franklin Avenue.
Every time I turn around you’re killing someone.
Because they’re trying to kill me!
The futility of this is clear, yes- but this is not your affair.
This is her mess to clean up.
I'm here representing her: to put an end to this.
All of these bodies can't be good for any of you.
The man is correct. I suggest... (phone vibrates)
Sorry, hold on one second.
Hey, hon: just taking care of some things...
Okay, paper towels... yep. Anything else?
Heavy cream, got it. Milk?
Okay.
Okay, I’ll go to the store on the way home. Love you, too. ‘Bye.
Sorry, guys. Where were we?
Right-we were going to put an end to this foolishness.
(dramatic music) (fight sounds)
Ah, the ex-boyfriend.
How can I help you?
I'm here to suggest you put an end to this vendetta
before it goes any further.
It's too late.
That's crap and you know it. You can rescind the order.
And how am I going to look?
Like a benevolent leader: someone who cares more about his people
than his own ego.
(fight sounds)
You're not worried about her?
(chairs crashing)
No.
She's had worse than your boy.
Scat!
But YOU should be worried...
honestly, old man, I'm the only thing standing between this moment
and you waking up one night with her
standing above you and a cold gleam in her eye.
Okay, I have an idea.
And?
I was wrong about Ayana.
Okay.
So I'll talk to Marzana, and we’ll cancel it.
Great.
Good.
But one condition:
You work for me.
Sorry. What?
Take it or leave it.
I'm not a killer anymore.
That's your problem, Mr. Reyes.
I didn't..
Into the toilet.
What’s wrong?
Okay.
VICTOR: Okay.
Good.
I mean, the kids are going to go off to college soon.
My wife wants to get the roof reshingled.
I mean, I could use the extra money.
That makes me happy.
And what is it? A couple bodies here and there?
Who gives a fuck?
Like the one she was supposed to kill?
I give her the order.
To kill her own people... to kill her family.
What kind of man gives that order?
A practical man.
You know what? I don't think I want to work for you anymore.
(dramatic music) (fight sounds)
That's good.
Okay. You want to play? Let's play.
(dramatic music) (fight sounds)
You are a dead man.
Yeeaahh!!
You don't have to do this.
(body splashes)
You think
anyone is going to wonder
at all of these bodies turning up all of a sudden?
Nah...
it’s New Jersey.
Hello, beautiful.
I know I wasn't the one you expected to be talking to.
Not exactly, no.
Are they both dead?
The important one is.
But look on the bright side.
AYANA: You just got a promotion.
That is true.
Okay, here's the deal.
I think we need to come up to an understanding-
just us girls... AYANA: right?
What kind of understanding?
Well, you keep sending people to kill me, and I keep killing them.
AYANA: To me, it seems like a great waste of manpower.
I have a job to do.
Oh, my God, with this phrase!
AYANA: everyone has a job to do.
You know what, Marzana?
I have a job to do, too.
And that job is to protect my loved ones-
and not to die.
What do you propose?
Look, we all did things we shouldn't have.
I killed my boss, I know- but he also tried to make me kill
my loved ones, which was also REALLY wrong.
AYANA: And then you sent people to kill me, and I had to kill them. And then...
Stop.
I get it.
Look,
I'm only middle management.
MARZANA: I do what I'm told.
So we call a truce?
Yes. Okay.
Okay.
For reals?
Yes.
Good.
I'm glad we had this little talk
AYANA: just between us girls.
She's going to keep trying to kill me.
Do I call The Swordsman?
Wow, you cannot wait to get to talk to him, can you?
He's a legendary killer.
You’re like a nerd a comic book convention.
Call him-this bitch needs to die, and she needs to die painfully.
(Ichiro gasping)
I'm sorry... I’m sorry...
I promise I'll pay you back everything and more.
(phone ringing)
Moshi moshi...
(speaking Japanese)
Hey, can we talk?
Sure. What's up?
I want to talk about the other night.
VICTOR: look, I was just going through... DANI: I know you weren't going to the dojo
to pick up that stuff,
and I know you weren't running errands today.
Clark called.
You never picked up the lumber.
I know there's something else.
Honey... It has to do with Ayana, doesn't it?
It does, but it's not like that.
I didn't really think so, but...
we're talking about the stuff we don't talk about, aren't we?
From before we met?
We are.
Are we safe?
Are the kids safe?
I think so.
And Ayana is leaving soon.
So it's over?
Yes. I wish I could tell you more.
It’s okay. We had this conversation back at the beginning.
I knew there’d be things that you couldn't tell me.
I just thought they were in the past.
Sometimes the past comes back.
Look, you and the kids are the only thing that matters to me.
You know that, right?
I just want things to get back to their normal level of craziness.
They will soon.
VICTOR: So I just, uh...
You want to say thank you.
I mean, I guess so.
You're welcome.
I mean, I guess most of what's happened is because of you in the first place.
You don't have to say anymore.
Fine.
I'm going to miss you, Victor and your lovely family.
You mean you're leaving now?
This won’t end,
until I end it myself.
You're a good person, Victor Reyes. I will miss you.
I’ll miss you too.
I know.
(dark pop music plays)
I had a feeling there was another conversation coming-
just between us girls.
Not really much of a conversation.
Well...
shit.
So you’re from California, huh? I can tell by the hair.
It's like I got Haight-Ashbury in my car.
Took the redeye. Huh?
Yeah. That's a no-go for me.
I can't sleep on planes.
(honks) DRIVER: Really? With the merging and no signaling?
That's how we're going to drive, nowadays?
Traffic is getting worse and worse every year.
So you in town for business, recreation,
maybe wedding?
Funeral.
(Victor teaching)
(suspenseful music)
Dad, you here?
Who are you?!
Shut up. You’re coming with me...
Listen-
you’re going to come with me and you’re going to keep your mouth shut.
Or I'm going to kill you and your father.
GONDO: You understand? MAX: Yes.
GONDO: Do you understand?! MAX: Yes!
I hate kids...
Max, turn on the lights. Max?
Max..?
Max, kiddo, can you hear me?
Moshi Moshi, Victor-san...
I want him back, you bastard!
You're not in a position to make those demands.
What do you want?
I want the girl
-and I want you.
VICTOR: Ayana, pick up your damn phone.
They have Max, they have my son! They have him!
Victor? What’s wrong?
Victor...
It's okay.
I got to go.
Oh, God.
(dramatic music)
My dad says alcohol slows the reflexes.
Really?
My reflexes actually need slowing.
I'm so fast I counter the blow before it's thrown.
Anticipation: this is the way of the warrior.
To predict every move your opponent will throw, and judge their probability.
Will he strike? Will he trap? Will he kick?
Or in your father's case,
will he fall on his back like a sick turtle?
Unable to get up.
My dad’s gonna kill you.
Ten years ago, maybe
You know him?
We worked in the same circles.
Had mutual acquaintances.
MAX: He did...? GONDO: What I do? Yes.
Maybe he was a bit more judicious in the jobs he picked,
but he did them.
OI!
When the man comes, you take care of him.
I'm waiting for a more
insidious opponent.
(dramatic music)
(fight sounds)
Dani.
Sorry. I didn't hear you come in...
and the door was locked.
Where's Victor?
He got a message, he drove off.
Where?
I don't know, but Max is late getting home from school.
This is something you brought into our house, isn't it?
Yes. I'm sorry.
You can be sorry all you want, or you can help fix
whatever it is you messed up
Here: Victor has a find my phone app on his cell.
Can you bring my boys back, please?
GONDO: Huh. He’s not bad..
He’s not GOOD, either...
but he’s not bad.
This guy’s getting on my nerves, man.
I know you're here.
Ayana.
Very well.
Let's get this done.
(dramatic music / weapons clashing)
(sword cuts)
(dramatic music / fight sounds)
What now, old man?
(balls squish)
(neck snaps)
Where's my son?
He's with my brother...
in hell!
It didn't have to end this way.
(neck breaks)
(suspenseful fight music)
(metal scraping)
(chain rattling)
AYANA: You don’t know, do you?
Know what?
AYANA: She’s dead-your boss.
GONDO: She's not my boss. I’m an independent contractor.
And the person who contracted you is dead.
(laughs) You lie to me.
AYANA: You don't check your messages often enough:
AYANA: I killed her last night.
AYANA: Drowned in her own onsen.
This changes nothing.
Well, you're not going to get paid.
AYANA: Sounds like a change to me.
GONDO: You know nothing.
GONDO: When I get hired, I finish the job. Pay, or no pay.
That's the Bushido way.
Your version sounds more like the bull-shitto way.
Hmm. No matter what.
Only one of us walks out of here today.
(Gondo groans)
(Max tumbling)
Auughhh!!!
I HATE THIS KID!
(chain smacks)
Why don't you pick on someone your own size?
More like twice my size.
(metal clanging)
(dramatic music)
VICTOR: No, no!
No, no, no, no!
GONDO: My task is accomplished.
The lives of your son and you...
...are not my mission.
NOOOO!!!!
You think you maybe overdid it a little?
I was selling grief.
And the award goes to... Good?
(softer music plays)
VICTOR: Gondo checked your heart- how didn’t he hear it beating?
AYANA: I stopped it for a minute.
What?
You can’t stop your heart beating for a minute?
No.
I thought it was something people could just do.
No, that's something killers can do.
So I probably need to stop.
Because?
Because I'm not one of them anymore.
Starting today.
Nope: I've killed my last guy.
I mean,
unless they’re, like, really annoying or something...
or if they're one of those people who still pays by check
at the supermarket checkout...
..or you know, if they chew really loud.
VICTOR: So I guess that worked out:
VICTOR: Ayana’s safe.
VICTOR: My family's safe.
VICTOR: Things are back to normal,
VICTOR: whatever that means.
(gentle music plays)
VICTOR: If I’ve learned one thing...
VICTOR: it’s that the past doesn't always stay in the past.
VICTOR: Sometimes it comes back for a visit.
Tea?
Something stronger.
I'll stick to Tea.
Serve yourself.
SUGIMOTO: The day that you quit,
you knew that this was coming.
You put my family in danger.
You blaming me?
Look in the mirror! Who’s face is that?
SUGIMOTO: It's you. You’re at fault.
You put your family in danger, not me.
You chose this life.
You started a family.
The important people are all still alive.
The board resets,
some of the players change.
But the game...
the game plays on.
But it's a zero sum game, isn't it?
Killers come for me, and I kill them.
Their people come for me in revenge.
It’s on and on.
It's a bitch.
Who's your friend?
You're going to kill me now?
No, I'm going to take my family away on vacation.
But if you come after me again
or you put my family in danger,
I promise you, old man, I'll come for you...
...I’ll find you, and I’ll scorch the earth under your feet.
I told your man, this thing is over,
and I'm telling you the same thing.
As you said: It's a
zero sum
game.
Bang.
