newscaster Awakened by the sound of an explosion...
newscaster #2 ... running for their lives.
newscaster #3 Police are now pushing...
newscaster #4... the Feds are telling us it is not a terror attack.
It is most likely an accident.
newscaster #5... the Fire Department is calling a major emergency.
newscaster #6 ... wave of unexplained killings
that are sweeping across this city.
Man Not all things in the world
are quite as they first appear.
Every seven years in an ordinary town,
an extraordinary event takes place.
You won't know it...
you won't see it...
...but it happens.
Damn
- You out? - Yeah
Don't let it be him, Joshua not him
Man Mr Harlow!
What's the matter, Mr Harlow?
Are you out of bullets?
Here, have some of mine!
Man Whoo-hoo!
Man no you don't, Mr Harlow
Man Joshua!
To be quite frank with you,
you're a stain on our profession
I'm beyond fucking insulted
So
come on out
and I'll show you
the only way to quit this line of work
Congratulations, man
Thanks
I'm glad it was you
Enjoy your life together
We have a winner
newscaster ... crime rose across the board-
particularly gang-related gun crime,
which is leaving residents in a constant state of fear.
There were calls last night for further investment
in the city's under-manned police force, as often-
Another day in the borough
All right, you Come on

Ladies and gentlemen
welcome to the Tournament
It is my honor
to be your host for this legendary event,
being held for the first time here in Great Britain
With more CCTV than anywhere else on Earth,
we shouldn't miss a thing
now, as you know,
the stakes in this room are high,
but the stakes for our competitors out there
are the highest possible
At this very moment,
30 of the world's greatest assassins
are preparing for the ultimate sporting event
International killers of every imaginable discipline
will compete for a $10 million cash prize
and the honorable title of the "World's Best "
our lovely ladies are standing by to take your bets
100K minimum stake
And here are a few of my personal favorites
you may wish to keep your eye on
- Visuals online - Go to seven
- Go to seven, Rob - And cue
Lai Lai Zhen, abandoned at birth and left for dead
At 17, she was killing for the Triads
and has grown up to become the number one hitter
in the Eastern market for the past three years-
a snip at 10 to 1
Anton Bogart
An outstanding athlete,
he lives for the thrill of the hunt
Silent, stealthy, smart-
a lethal option
9 to 1
Yuri Petrov, Russian special forces
An incredible all-rounder armed to the teeth
Fists, feet, bullets, bombs-
utterly merciless, he has it all
Miles Slade, the crazy Texan kid
An outside bet,
but he's mad enough to rise the ranks
Reckless, ruthless, wild,
but guaranteed great entertainment
This is one guy who truly loves his job
And if you thought it couldn't get any better,
we have a dramatic late entrant-
a returning champion who I'm sure
will add something very personal to the proceedings
Seven years ago,
Joshua Harlow took the Tournament by storm
and retired as a champion
But this year he's back
For one reason, and one reason only-
revenge
Joshua's wife was brutally murdered
in their Miami home four months ago,
and the person who killed her
is one of this year's players!
Joshua Harlow is our favorite at 2 to 1
Activate tracking devices
overlaying and synching positions
- Tracking bugs online - Prepare to go hot
Hotter than me in a swimsuit
Cue
As ever, each assassin
is implanted with a tracking device,
so we can find them,
and they can find each other
But this year we've added an extra pinch of spice
If we don't have a winner within 24 hours,
our contestants will discover
that their tracking device
isn't just a tracking device
Well, I know you're all very busy men
30 contestants
24 hours
one rule-
kill or die
Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets
The Tournament has begun
Rob Suck me sideways
I would kill for a piece of that pie

Uh-huh Yeah, kinda
They go way back He nurtured her or something
Tech oh, oh, oh
All right, it is showtime
Rob Holy shit Can you do that?

Tech Fuck! I love this shit

Miss Hunter, it is showtime

It's Steve Tomko and Lai Lai Zhen
What the fuck are you up to?
Who is it?
Room service
Breakfast, madam
You like that, bitch? Huh?
I just want you to know, after I kill you,
I'm going to fuck you
Hey, welcome to the tournament, Rob
You fucking bitch!
Host First blood to Lai Lai Zhen
Her odds move to 7 to 1
Man Yeah!
Man Cleanup crew Delta

Delta We're on our way.
Rob I still would
Confirm one body...
oh, okay, party time
We have the Frenchman Anton Bogart
heading into a cluster
- developing on the high street - Shit
Activating all street security cams
Picking it up on one, two, three police cameras
- The cameras live? - Cameras are live
We are in on the Gypsy
Fuck The Frenchman's gone cold
I didn't see a fight You see him get killed?
no, I didn't see a fucking fight
Doing a signal sweep
Check his body heat sensor now
I'm on it
Tech He's back What did you do?
Must've been a blip
Run a complete diagnostic I don't like blips
Top you off?
- Coffee? - no
Top you off?
There you go
Yes
No

You planning to pay for that?
Yeah Yes
Credit card?

Thank you
Hello, Todd
Todd Hello, Father
Priest Sorry I haven't been around
I've been busy How's your mom doing?
She died, Father
I- I'm sorry
Todd She was asking after you
Is there anything I can do, like help with the funeral?
That's okay I've got it all sorted
- Rob oh, fuck - What?
I think we have another blip
Shooter on the rooftop just went cold
No one near her
We've got a moving signal but no Frenchman
What the hell is going on?
- Come on - I'm looking, I'm looking
I fucking hate blips!
Hail Mary, full of grace
The Lord is with thee
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and in the hour of our death, amen
oh, please, Blessed Virgin, hear me
I want to be a good man
I want to be a strong man
But I look inside my heart and there is nothing there
There's nothing there
oh, Blessed Virgin, please give me hope
I know
What?
Whatever this is, please, please
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with me?
Please, hear me-
Why aren't you defending yourself?
I don't have any money, please
- I don't have any money - Shut up
I'm just a- I'm just a priest
Please, please-
In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost,
goodbye
I'm going to enjoy this
Priest Stop!
Stop
Stop!
Please, don't struggle
So much easier when they don't struggle
Priest What are you doing?
Just let her go!
I've got a gun!
I've got a gun and I'll use it
Aah!
oh
Don't move
or what?
Just- just stay right there
Stay back!
You need one in the chamber
- Who are you? - I'm a priest!
If you lie to me, I break your neck
I'm not I'm not!
Where are your weapons? Who do you work for?
Where do you receive your orders from?
Rome!
No scar
I don't know what you're talking about
You're bleeping
You really don't know what I'm talking about, do you?
You really are a priest
Father Macavoy
This is- was my church
Well, Father, welcome to the Tournament
Thank you
They found the blip
What is it?
It's our Frenchman
- Anton Bogart? - It seems he managed
to cut out his tracking device,
and it's ended up inside that priest
I see
We now have one of our favorites
running around virtually invisible?
I'm sorry What shall I tell them to do?
I suggest you shorten his odds
and follow him
Yes, sir
Tech okay, maintain visual contact with Bogart
Don't lose sight of that slippery little bastard
Tracking manually Damn, Bogart's quick
Man Go to camera two. Quick, go.
Just got to reconfigure
Give me a second
- Holy shit - What now?
- It's him - You sure?
oh, there are gonna be fireworks
All right, Miss Hunter, we have Harlow
We have Harlow for you.
May I have your attention?
You wanted the greatest show on Earth
out for revenge,
the greatest assassin of our time
Joshua Cut the shit, Eddy
oh, shit
- What are you doing here? - I need information
What have you heard?
I heard someone came for you
Eddy I heard it got a bit messy
And I heard about your wife
Joshua What did you hear? Who told you?
The crazy American kid, Miles
He's your one
Miles Slade, the finger guy?
Uh-huh
- Thanks - You're welcome
Um
Man Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Eat shit!
Well, that's one more for the trophy cabinet,
thank you very much
Uh-huh
Hey, boy!
Come here, little fella
Hey, there's a good boy
There's a good dog Yeah, that's a good dog
That's a good dog
Hey, what is this?
What is that, huh?
What is it? Here you go
Rob That guy is fucked up
See you later, boy
Tech okay, just take it back a little
Rob Playing out to one
Rob Jeez, who steals a finger?
oh, yeah
oh, fuck
That's the emergency line What do I do?
Answer it
Hello
Yeah, hold on I'll just put you through
Just spoke to Lai Lai Zhen
You tell her you wanted to eat her pie?
- Excuse me, Senator - All right
It's Lai Lai
Make sure that redneck settles his marker
before he has another coronary
Speak
Lai Lai We have a situation with a civilian.
Macavoy Who are you talking to, the police?
Quiet I know you can see what's going on
Host You know the rules, Lai Lai.
It's kill or be killed.
You're like a child running back to Daddy
telling me how the big boy stole your ball
You're on the battlefield. There is no going back.
And he's just one of those famous innocent bystanders you hear about
- Let me speak to him - no, stop it
- This is Father Macavoy - I'll kill you myself
- Let me speak to him - It's not right He's just a priest
Host Personally, I find it kind of apt.
Back in the day we used to throw Christians to the lions.
Seems that history is repeating itself.
Carry him or kill him,
but don't call back
What's happened? Are the police coming?
not really
Move!
We have to get out of here now
Move it!
Woman oh, God!
Someone help me!
Please, help! God!
Macavoy It's stuck
Woman Help me with the seatbelt
- It's jammed - Don't let me die!
Macavoy Come here Come here
Wrong day to be a good Samaritan
When I say "move it", move it!
- Come on! - What's going on?
You've got a bug inside you They think you're a hitter
This is a competition for assassins
That last man standing wins
A game where people kill each other?
Yes, we have to get the tracker out of you,
otherwise you're a target
Why don't we go to the police?
Eh? You and I
You acted in self-defense I'll speak for you
Is it my accent? Do I stutter? Is that it?
The people who run this,
they are more powerful than the police
- Man Somebody - They will get you anywhere
do something! - But the bodies
people will see the bodies
There will be an explanation
It won't be the truth, but it will be what people will buy
A madman with a gun, a terrorist attack,
a natural disaster, a car crash
That's how the Tournament remains a secret!
It's insane
Don't you watch TV, Father?
The whole world is insane
now move it! Come on!
Tech Sir.
Sir, can we just reconfirm?
You want to make the priest a player?
You want him on the system?
Was I unclear, Mr Hamilton?
no no, sir It's ready It's ready
- This is bullshit - Shut up and do it
Ladies and gentlemen, a man of the cloth
has stepped out from the sidelines
If any of you good people would like to take a long shot
on a man with a dog collar,
we'll take that action
Lai Lai Will you hurry up?
Macavoy It's not coming up
How do you know I've even swallowed this thing?
How else could it be inside you?
Fuck! Fuck!
Everybody thinks I'm an assassin!
Everybody wants me dead!
- Yes - oh, fuck!
I don't wanna die
- It's okay - I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
- I don't know how to cope with this - You'll be okay
Trust me
okay
oh, thank God Thank God
oh, officer, thank goodness you're here
nice outfit, Father
Get down!
Come on!
What's happening?
I'm not sure, but we have to get out of here now
Macavoy A policeman's been killed
- He's a player - A player?
Why would anybody want to take part in this madness?
Cash prize, revenge, title, excitement
So what's your reason?
Macavoy I've seen him before
- In the cafe this morning - Are you sure?
- Positive - He cut it out
Hold on!
Fuck
Miles Whoo! Here we go
Yeah Hi, ladies!
Hurry back
I love you, baby
Enjoy your life together
Where were you?
Host on speaker Joshua,
I'm deeply sorry about your loss,
but I may have some information
about the person that came after you.
I may know where you can find them.
Rob oh, shit
We got another one of those cluster things
Hamilton Jesus fucking Christ
That's not a cluster That is a war zone
Angel's titty bar? Are you kidding me?
There's nine shooters in there
Why aren't they attacking each other?
Probably so many people in the place
they don't know who is who
All right, we got ourselves a situation here
We have nine players in one location
Repeat, nine players in one shithole location
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a bloodbath about to take place
Miles Come on, bitches!
Yeah!
Fuck yeah!
Come on, boys!
Whoo-hoo!
Yeah!
no, you don't!
I see you, bud!
Thanks, sweetheart
Tindillini and Mitre out
They're going down fast Still taking bets
Miles Come on, boys!
Whoo-hoo!
Yeah!
You fucking son of a bitch
Whoo!
- Ho, ho, ho! - This is fucked up
oh!
That's Van de Ven out of the game
Miles Where you at, boys?
Aah!
Miles Bring it on!
Yeah! Fuck, yeah!
Whoo-whoo! Whoo!
Was it you, Miles?
Did you come after me?
- Stay still, honey - Did you murder my wife?
What the fuck you talking about?
Aah!
no, you don't, honey
Good night, sugar
Dispatcher We're experiencing problems with transmitting.
All units, we have reports of gunfire...
Man on radio Sorry, we're completely swamped here.
Man #2 on radio What the hell's going on today?
God, I need a drink
You drink too much
and your eyes give you away
You damage your liver
That's just perfect That's just exactly what I need,
health advice from a hit man
What are we going to do?
We have to wait until it passes through your system
The further out of town we go, the less accurate the tracker
It will buy us some time
Do you mind if I ask you a question?
Why are you here?
Why are you playing?
Why all the questions?
Why do you drink so much?
Why were you sobbing like a child this morning?
Because I'm lost
You're lost?
Try to be me
It must be tough playing God with people's lives
I don't play God
If I don't do it, somebody else will
It's just a job nothing more
I don't believe you
otherwise, why didn't you just kill me?
I don't kill the innocent
I'm so happy
Did you feel that?
Please!
Where were you?
Miles Can you hold that for me, buddy?
Huh Howdy
Look at you
Joshua Harlow,
greatest assassin there ever was
Well, I shit ya,
you're well past your best, ain't ya?
But, hey, look at the bright side-
at least you fell at the hands of this year's champion
Look at what I did to that guy
What the fuck was I thinking?
Jesus, Miles, you're a fucking maniac
Thanks
Have a drink, legend
Trying to quit
Just to be clear, old-timer,
these are the last few moments of your life
you're experiencing right now
You might as well have a drink with me
Maybe later
Suit yourself, superstar
Go on, now, tell me
how many kills?
See, I love killing
Just the smell of it
Why Mary?
Mary?
Yeah
Mary who? I killed a fucking million Marys
You know who
Miami, four months ago
I wasn't home
It was me you wanted Why did you kill her?
Give me a second
Hey, man, let me help you
Whoa
That's some nasty shit
Now where were we?
My wife
Yeah Why weren't you there?
You left her all alone
If I were you
I'd blame myself
Bad news, superstar
This is really going to fuck you off
It wasn't me
Don't lie to me, kid
I am not
a kid!
Whoo-hoo-hoo!
I got me a $10 million trigger finger
That's as close as you'll ever come,
you fucking amateur
Here, let me help you with that
I really wish it was me
Shit, I really do
But I wouldn't go take credit for other people's work
That'd just be wrong
Don't you pass out on me, legend
I'm going to tell you who killed your wife
It gives me great pleasure
to know
that you know who did it
and that you can't do a fucking thing about it
Lai Lai Zhen came after you
Lai Lai Zhen
Heh She killed your wife
You're a liar
Am I?
I think I'll have that drink now
That's the spirit
Toast the new champion
I think we're done here
Aah!
Every time
We say goodbye
I die a little
Every time we say goodbye
I wonder why a little
Why the gods above me
Who must be in the know
Think so little of me
They allow you to go?
When you're near
There's such an air
of spring about it
I can hear a lark somewhere
Begin to sing about it
There's no love song finer
But how strange the change
From major to minor
Every time we say goodbye
You okay?
oh, no For a minute there
I thought it was all just a bad dream
You'll be okay
oh
oh, please
Please, God, help me through this
Please give me some strength because-
because I need a drink!
Sorry, I was-
Bless me, Father, I have sinned
Aah!
Stakes are high, ladies and gentlemen,
a favorite will fall
You're lucky I got to you before Joshua did
He's pretty pissed you killed his wife
no, no
Wait, wait
Please, please stop
Man Finish the fucker!
You
Don't do it!
Please! I'm sorry
Don't do it Don't do it
Miles Don't
I'm sorry
Man Pull the fucking trigger!
Man on radio Let's get as close as we can.
Keep him locked. We gotta wait.
He said what?
It's the right thing
What is it?
No!
What is it?
Aah!
Hello? Mill's service station
It's, um-
it's for you
Hello?
Father Macavoy,
we haven't met,
but I feel I know you intimately
So you're the sick fucker that's running all this, are ya?
Such profanity from a man of the cloth
now I suggest you listen to me
very, very carefully
Since you deemed it necessary to interrupt
what could have been a spectacular kill,
I feel I should clarify the rules a little.
There's a time limit you really should take note of.
Time limit? What are you talking about?
It's very simple.
You need to start killing if you want to stay alive.
I'm not going to kill anyone
We shall wait and see
It will be your faith
against your desire to live
That device inside you is so much more than a tracker,
as you've just witnessed
There's only four hours left of the game, Father.
If there's more than one player still alive
when the clock hits zero,
everyone will meet the same fate
as your American friend.
So let's see if you have any real guts
It's kill or be killed
Four hours, Father,
and the clock is ticking
Thank you
Well, that's perfect
Hamilton Let's bring a replay of that up on one
Rob Jesus
We have to do that to all of them
if the time runs out?
no, it takes them out automatically
What's the priest doing?
If the sat imagery is correct,
he is trying to sort his shit out
Lai Lai Anything yet?
Macavoy nothing's happening I'm too tense
It's got to come out one end or the other
Can you not wait outside?
I'm staying put now concentrate
You're putting me off
Can you whistle or something?
okay, who's Joshua's wife?
It doesn't matter
okay
I thought the way you reacted when you heard-
Will you just leave it alone?
Bit of a confession in here, really, eh?
Confession can be incredibly hard
It's painful to admit our sins
and trust ourselves in God's care
But it helps
It helps
sometimes
Why don't you tell me why you're here?
Hmm?
What's it got to do with Joshua's wife?
The last thing you see in a target's eyes
is understanding
Somewhere, deep inside of them,
they've been expecting it
Mary Harlow didn't have that look
She just stared at me,
like you did this morning-
petrified, scared
bewildered
I saw in her eyes
that something was wrong
Please!
My instincts told me to stop
Please!
But I pulled the trigger anyway
I didn't know it until afterwards,
but she was pregnant
It's haunted me ever since
That's why I have to win this tournament
so I can get enough money to vanish
And if I don't win
then I get what's coming
okay, Miss Hunter, the final few players
seem to be converging on the motorway
We got Harlow on the move,
we're tracking Bogart nearby,
and the long shot, Topuzov, is closing in fast
Lai Lai Zhen and the priest are sitting ducks
We have to get out of here now
- I haven't- - Now
okay
Shit
Quick, get to the car
Shit
oh, shit
Come on!
What's going on?
- I'm taking your bus - What?
I'm taking your bus
Drive
- I can't drive a bus - Learn fast!
Fuck
Bus driver What about the passengers?
Everybody down!
Joshua Come on!
Lai Lai!
Fuck
Rob They're coming up on the Frenchman
How is he gonna get in on the action?
Lai Lai! Come and see this
I'm a little busy now Can you handle it?
Macavoy It's more in your department, really!
Hamilton Jeez, they're going way too fast
They're out of control
That guy's got a ticket
Maybe not
Holy shit Lai Lai's taking a beating
open the door!
Lai Lai!
Lai Lai, what are we gonna do?
Drive!
What have I done?
You saved me
I'm gonna be sick
Shit
okay, that is confirmed, sir
Bogart is down and the priest has officially left the game
What about Joshua?
Father
what are you doing still here?
I cannot protect you anymore
Please go
I don't wanna go
Why not?
You didn't abandon me,
so I'm not going to abandon you, yes?
We should go
Come on
only five minutes remaining, ladies and gentlemen
Let me remind you,
if we don't have a winner when the time runs out,
we will pay out on the current favorite, Joshua Harlow
Lai Lai No cameras
They cannot see us in here
What did you say?
There are no cameras in there
- What about satellite? - They're indoors
Did I speak to you?
There are 30 people in there who paid $10 million
We're in the final few minutes
I want everything and anything
pointed at that fucking church!
Wow, that really helps
okay, okay
If we can't show what, we can at least show where
Rob We'll give 'em something to watch
You have to get to a hospital
I want you to pray with me
of course
You said your prayers?
I hope you said goodbye
Please, this is God's house
no killing in God's house
God? Why, Lai Lai?
Did someone send you,
or was it personal?
- Just kill me - no, no, no
Get it over with
Why?
Why'd you come after me?
I didn't come after you
What?
I wasn't there for you I was there for her
The contract was on your wife
Why?
Why would anyone want to kill Mary? Why?
I don't know why
We never know why
Please, please Joshua, please
She's not to blame
She's not to blame for any of this
She's a device, like a tool
- She didn't want to kill your wife - no, shut up!
- She didn't want to kill- - Shut up!
Joshua Mary was my life
Mary was my life! Who hired you?
She was your life She was your life
Don't dishonor her now with death
Who hired you?
- You're dishonoring her with death! - Shut up!
Who hired you?
You know who hired me
Joshua, what would Mary do?
What would Mary have you do?
We have a winner
Host Ladies and gentlemen,
I want to present to you
the two-time winner of the Tournament
Please be upstanding
for the greatest assassin of our time!
Joshua
I know everything
Why?
What?
I put on a good show, didn't I?
You can keep all this money that I won,
if you just tell me why you murdered my wife
You're delirious, Joshua
I'm dying, but you're sweating
now why is that?
What's the matter, you afraid to admit it?
Come on
Come on, we're all killers here!
You need a doctor
You're being absurd
Why? Why did you murder my wife?
or are you too fucking gutless?
Why?
Because it was necessary
You didn't want to come back to the Tournament
I wasn't going to accept that
You're the reigning champion
Look at you, Joshua!
You're a warrior, gladiator
Men like you don't die in your beds,
they fall on the field
They give the crowd
a glorious death
Why?
Because if I'd have just asked
you'd have said no
You needed a little motivation-
pressure
on that little chink in the armor
Close your eyes
You and your wife
will be together soon
Mary I love you, baby
Host Joshua, wait! Wait!
Joshua!
We'll see her together
Jesus, he took her tracker out
override It's gonna blow
So, uh, I'm going to go home
Yeah, me too
newscaster Terror stepped up a notch today.
Bombs are believed to have gone off
in both a city center church
and a popular strip bar on the outskirts...
our little town has been tested,
played witness to events beyond comprehension,
besieged by darkness
newscaster #2 ... many major road accidents,
the worst of which a mile-long motorway pileup.
Macavoy And yet, here we are again,
our spirits renewed
reborn
newscaster #3... the debilitating lack of any CCTV footage...
newscaster #4... to increase surveillance to blanket proportions.
Macavoy I'm reminded of the words
of the American writer Robert nathan
when he said, "We must give thanks to the sorrow
"that shows us pity,
"to the pain that teaches us courage,
"and to the mystery which is a mystery still "
Let us pray
