The Old Guard Edit

A black woman.

A fine justification.

A long time ago.

A million different ways we could have went left.

A school southwest of Juba was attacked by a militia.

A very long time.

Actually, everything hurts.

Actually, two more years if you're lucky enough to be born a female.

Admit it, boss. You missed us.

Adrenaline flying, everyone was seeing shit they didn't.

Afghanistan.

Ah! Gentlemen, welcome.

All the lives you could save.

All things die.

All those bodies.

ALS.

Always.

An abandoned mine.

An address just outside of London.

An army, I guess.

An infant.

And a fair few quid to boot.

And a medevac.

And all we had...

And despair in their eyes.

And each time the same answer.

And his kiss still thrills me, even after a millennia.

And I got you something.

And I have something for you.

And I was the one who cut your throat.

And I'm just so tired of it.

And if you try to...

And likely saved civilization as a result.

And many of yours.

And one of us did.

And quickly, before my competitors get wind of this.

And she kept drowning.

And she may not. I don't know.

And she's more alone than she has ever been in her entire life.

And that was a blank that you shot me with.

And the unknown names.

And the youngest one, Jean Pierre...

And they got sentenced again and again.

And they will tell you...

And they won't believe you, of course.

And they're the product.

And they're the product.

And to be honest, Book,

And we mostly are, but we can die.

And when they do,

And when you ditch it, ditch the weapons.

And why now?

And you will know what it is to lose...

And you will never forget...

And you're going to help us.

And you're gonna help us find those jobs...

And, by the way, it's not always like this now.

And?

Andrei.

Andromache the Scythian.

Andy did all this herself?

Andy, look at me.

Andy, put on the damn armor.

Andy.

Andy.

Andy.

Andy.

Andy.

Anything.

Anything.

Are you Copley?

Are you praying?

Are you sure?

Argh! Fuck!

As if they never conducted covert research.

As is yours.

As much as I like watching you sleep, I'm glad you're awake.

Assault team, move! You two, flank.

At my company, our research on telomere extension

At the bottom of the ocean...

At the end...

At the hotel.

Because I told the pilot to play dead.

Bed head?

Been looking for you.

Before me and Nicky, it was just the two of them.

Before she found anyone like her.

Being tested.

Big Pharma.

Big wounds take longer to heal.

Blood, tissue, bone, DNA.

Book.

Booker was the last.

Booker.

Breach!

But current administration's policy is to deny aid to any nonstrategic allies.

But everyone around you,

But I have to stitch her

But I prefer my evidence to be indisputable.

But I'm fine.

But I'm supposed to let you walk in there by yourself?

But it'll be years before they realize that.

But it's not cheap.

But now it's clearer.

But she blames herself for Quynh's fate.

But she kept fighting...

But then, Andy and Quynh,

But they can't teach you how to live with it.

But they shall be the terrors of the Earth.

But we can control how we live.

But we have a storeroom.

But what I do know is she was alone for a long time

But you can call me Andy.

But you could.

But you promised me hard proof.

But... you said that we were immortal.

By telling us where he is.

By the best, and your team's the best I've ever seen.

Can you please not do that again?

Can't wait.

Cancer took him.

Careful.

Clear the back room. Find Joe and Nicky.

Combat.

Come back to me.

Come closer and I'll tell you.

Come here.

Come here. Stay with me. Look at me.

Come on, Book. You've been working on that for hours.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come with me.

Completely arrest common cognitive decline.

Depends on the century.

Did you know him?

Didn't think you were coming back.

Dizzy, a little help, please?

Do not touch me.

Do you feel the wound trying to close?

Do you have a bathroom?

Do you know, I was thinking about Malta.

Do you need help?

Do you think he speaks Russian?

Does it really matter?

Don't worry, I can't do shit like that.

Don't you see what we could do here?

Don't you see? Between Sudan and now, something's changed.

Dr. Kozak's manipulation of the klotho hormone will, in time,

Drowning and then coming back to life.

Eastern Turkey.

Empty?

Every one.

Everyone you love...

Everyone you've ever loved.

Everything happens for a reason, boss.

Everything has to die, Mr. Merrick.

Everything seemed legit.

Excruciating.

Faster than the elevator.

Find Copley.

First team, hold the hall.

First team.

Five hundred, Booker.

Floor's closed. How'd you get up here?

For creatures such as you, there is no salvation.

For... ever?

Four.

Freeing so called heretics from the witch trials.

Freeman, where you at?

Fuck me.

Get back in the car.

Get some sleep while you can.

Get to work finding Copley.

Get up.

Go big or go home.

Go get something. Go on! Go on!

Go scout the back.

God damn it! Ugh!

God doesn't exist.

God! Jesus, no.

Good luck, Ms. Freeman.

Hands! Let me see your hands.

Has reversed the chromosomal clock of human stem cells.

Has to be done quickly...

Have a little faith, Book.

Have any of you seen him?

Have you been watching the news lately?

Hazelnut, not walnut.

He has a hostage situation in South Sudan.

He has killed many of our people

He knows we're hunting him.

He leaves no footprints. It's gonna take time.

He might find a way how to end it.

He only cares about her immortality,

He thinks you're a mouse, Nicky.

He was 42 when...

He was a warrior, just like us.

He...

He's all and he's more.

He's doing the same to us.

He's doing the same to us.

He's freelance now.

He's got Nicky and Joe.

He's not my boyfriend.

He's the moon when I'm lost in darkness and warmth when I shiver in cold.

Her grandson would save 317 people from the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.

Her name was Quynh.

Her rage.

Here, Sergeant.

Here.

Here...

Hey, boss, come on.

Hey, Nile.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

His heart overflows with the kindness of which this world is not worthy of.

How are you all in my dreams?

How bad is it?

How do we push the scientific frontiers whilst also turning a little profit?

How many?

How many?

How old is Andy?

How the hell can you even tell?

Humanity can screw itself. [groans]

Humanity needs you to share your gifts.

Hurry up!

I always go first.

I am an American Marine.

I am not jumping from a plane!

I am truly honored to meet you. [chuckles]

I am.

I am.

I believe it's because we... we're meant to find each other.

I believe this can change the world.

I brought you a change of clothes.

I can fly a plane.

I can't be that.

I can't do this.

I can't remember what my mother looked like.

I checked him completely, and...

I couldn't do...

I devoted myself to your work.

I did.

I did.

I did. I need you to get back in the car, please.

I didn't say you'd like them.

I do.

I don't know about this, guys.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. Let's go!

I don't suppose it would be possible to get these chains off of us?

I don't want any of it.

I dreamed about a woman locked in an iron coffin...

I expect results!

I expected more.

I feel her pain.

I gave up searching for her.

I get it.

I go through first.

I got people that love me.

I guess not.

I had three sons.

I have the new one.

I hoped for less, but...

I just really want to hear my mom's voice one more time.

I killed her.

I killed the guy that killed me.

I knew this was gonna happen.

I know all the good you've done.

I know how I want to spend the time I've got left.

I know this is hard.

I know what I said.

I know where they are.

I know you needed a break, but it's been over a year, boss.

I know you're scared, Nile.

I know. I know.

I lead a group of immortals.

I learned your secret history,

I lost a soldier.

I love this man beyond measure and reason. He's not my boyfriend.

I made Quynh a promise and I broke it.

I mean, I'm not doing this.

I need to get a line in her and stop the bleeding.

I need to know he's okay.

I said it.

I said we're done.

I saw an older woman in a hijab.

I saw flashes of it before...

I saw part of a name tag.

I saw what you did in that church.

I saw...

I still have time with them.

I strongly recommend that we leave right now.

I suppose you are taking us to the person who paid for your betrayal.

I think you should get some rest.

I think you showed up when I lost my immortality.

I thought it could be the end of disease.

I thought it could be the end of suffering.

I thought you said we were going to Paris.

I thought you were the brains of this outfit.

I used to keep my stuff here.

I was holding her neck together in my hands.

I will carve slices off you for years to get what I want.

I will kill her!

I wish I knew.

I won't see you again.

I would say immoral.

I... I turned on the game.

I'd be honored.

I'll handle the retrieval.

I'll hear him out.

I'll keep you informed of my progress.

I'll make the entry.

I'll meet you there.

I'll protect you.

I'll see you soon.

I'll show you.

I'll stay with Andy.

I'm a Marine.

I'm done.

I'm getting Joe and Nicky back.

I'm going out for a bit.

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm here.

I'm locking you down in the penthouse until this is over.

I'm not gonna ask for yours.

I'm sorry, guys.

I'm sorry.

I'm Steven Merrick, youngest CEO in pharma.

I'm sure you already tried that.

I'm the one who will walk out of there again,

I'm trying to save you, man.

I've got to go.

I've heard it so many times before.

I've never been burned alive before.

I've seen it, Andy.

If I were you, I'd get some sleep.

If it's now Andromache's, nothing you can do will stop it.

If Merrick can discover how we keep living,

If this doesn't work out,

If this takes years, maybe decades,

If we can unlock their genetic code, the world will be begging us for the key.

If we're dreaming about her, she's dreaming about us.

If you try to touch their lives...

Immortal or not,

In an armored van.

Into my competitors' laps.

Investment drives my enthusiasm to take risks.

Is gonna grow old,

Is gonna suffer and is gonna die.

Is gonna...

Is she alive?

Is that it's not our time yet.

Is that supposed to be me?

Is that what we're supposed to do, and we don't even know why?

Is this a Rodin?

Is this even safe?

Is this real?

Is why you?

It doesn't give her the how.

It hurts everywhere.

It is a lot to understand.

It just hurts.

It used to take years to track a new one.

It was a woman.

It was supposed to be a gift...

It wasn't your gift to give.

It wouldn't have changed anything.

It's a job, guys.

It's a nice plane.

It's already saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

It's already saved hundreds of thousands of lives.

It's an improvement.

It's been over 200 years.

It's empty.

It's getting worse.

It's happening whether you want it or not.

It's impossible.

It's just like what we did with my dad.

It's like destiny.

It's like Nicky said, "If it's my time, it's my time."

It's nearly impossible to disappear in the world we live in today.

It's nice to finally meet you.

It's time.

It's too risky.

It's what it leaves behind.

Jay, go check on the women.

Jesus.

Joe and Nicky?

Joe? Nicky?

Just because we keep living doesn't mean we stop hurting.

Just give her some time.

Just haven't found my way back yet.

Just my family.

Just you and me.

Keane, how many more do we have coming?

Keane.

Keep looking.

Killed in action when I was 11.

Land this plane.

Lear...

Let's get them home.

Let's get this motherfucker.

Let's go. Andy.

Let's move!

Like Quynh?

Lima 3, this is India 5. Contact, over.

Listen, kid.

Look at me.

Look at me. You're gonna be okay.

Look at you.

Look...

Lost the plot after that.

Lykon.

Make it look like I was killed in action.

Man down!

Maybe this is the why, Andy.

Me and those three men in there will keep you safe.

Medical team.

Merrick...

Mmm!

Mmm... Nicky and I met in the Crusades.

Most likely they'll be separated, and odds are we'll never find them again.

Most of them.

Motherfuck

Moved to London when I was three.

Mr. Booker, bonjour.

Mr. Copley provided me with footage of your unique talent,

Mr. Keane,

Mr. Merrick, look. If it's true and she's somehow not immortal anymore,

Mr. Merrick...

My apologies. Let's get off on the right foot, shall we?

My family will mourn, but, uh...

My family,

My God does.

My mom, she was drowning after he died.

My wife got sick.

My wife.

Never backed down.

Never hurts to repeat it.

Never let us back down either.

Next time, you go first.

Nice work, Copley.

Nicely tousled.

Nicky

Nicky!

Nicolo.

Nile was gonna let you off with an apology.

Nile, there's not even a scratch.

Nile! Nile!

Nile?

Nile.

No food or water being brought in.

No man left behind.

No way.

No, Booker. We don't do repeats. You know that.

No, just leave me here.

No, more like misery loves company.

No, no. It's okay. It's okay.

No, not another one.

No, not this.

No, of course not.

No, sir. We can't.

No, that's not the signal.

No, this is not what we agreed.

No, we stick to the plan. We find Copley.

No!

No! Jesus! Medic!

No! Medic!

No! No!

No.

No.

No. This is some bullshit.

None of it means anything anyway.

None of them.

Not if he bleeds out. They wanted him alive, remember?

Not like her.

Not like this, Book.

Not now.

Not profits...

Not what she's done with it.

Nothing but dead ends.

Nothing that lives lives forever.

Nothing.

Now wake up.

Now you know they're for real.

Now, all of this is because of everyone's favorite love to hate...

Now, get up.

Now, how old are you?

Now, I didn't ask for their little permissions.

Oh, Book. What have you done?

Oh, my...

Oh, that time in Malta.

Okay. Medic's on their way. Medic's on their way.

Oldest, 13.

On it.

One day your wounds just don't heal up anymore, and...

One has to admire Mr. Copley's attention to detail.

One hundred years from today, they'll meet you here.

One way or another.

Or anyone on that ship who could tell us where she was cast off.

Or my sisters.

Or near combat duty.

Or sadism.

Or selfish.

Or, uh, drugged me or something.

Or, um, rather the saviors.

Our work here is all about balance.

Our work will add years of life

Out of the two of us,

Over 500 years in a box...

Over and over again, and each time the same question.

Passed on like legend.

Penthouse.

People that are gonna worry.

Plane's fueling. Pack your bags.

Play dead, motherfucker.

Pomegranate.

Probably biblically. [laughs]

Put those on.

Quynh had given up.

Quynh!

Quynh!

Recovering an uncontaminated sample of the site proved impossible.

Remarkable.

Remarkable.

Remember what it...

Remember?

Right?

Rosewater.

Said he could fix it.

São Paulo, '34. Nile's with me.

See if you can get an ID off the body.

Shakespeare.

She can't see it.

She couldn't breathe.

She couldn't breathe.

She couldn't talk...

She died two years ago.

She feels crazy.

She felt like something insane, something furious.

She fought for us.

She kept...

She saved a family of refugees whose daughter would discover

She saves a life,

She wants to talk to her family.

She was a pit viper in a fight.

She was hammering her bloody fists and knees against the iron.

She wouldn't stop bleeding.

She's going for the rest of them. Doctor's lab, now!

She's in it.

She's just a baby.

She's not asking.

She's not healing.

She's not healing.

She's not immortal.

She's there.

She's wounded. Gunshot.

Shit!

Shit!

Shit!

Shit!

Shit! Jammed!

Shit.

Shit.

Sit your ass down!

So are you good guys or bad guys?

So come on.

So how old are you?

So I could join your army?

So I could remember.

So I could see what it was like.

So if we can die,

So let's see the trophy.

So that's why you took me?

So we really never die.

So where are the girls?

So why am I here, Booker?

So why did you leave the agency, Mr. Copley?

So why is this happening to me?

So... you're even older than him.

Soldiers. Fighters like you.

Some good means nothing.

Some of my ex colleagues at the CIA feel differently.

Sorry, I was just looking

South Side of Chicago,

South Sudanese asked the US for help,

Spend eternity in a cage.

Stay tight to me, okay?

Stay with me!

Still worth fighting for.

Stitches would be better, but...

Stop! This is not the time for it.

Sure.

TAC teams, find Merrick now!

Take a right at the building with the red carpet.

Take the car,

Talked to Copley.

Tell us.

Tell you what I do wonder...

Than entire armies will ever learn.

Thank you for allowing us into your home.

Thank you.

Thank you. Welcome to El Fenn, sir.

Thanks for taking your time.

That are best suited to us.

That I am unethical?

That makes her a beacon straight to us.

That way madness lies.

That what the doctor said?

That what the doctor said?

That would be nice.

That you don't love them.

That your love is weak...

That's how he gets people in and out unseen.

That's how we track militants.

That's not gonna help her.

That's what they said.

That's what you wanted.

The Black Sea.

The Crusades?

The day I died,

The eternal warrior.

The famous...

The first immortal Andy found.

The footage is a two million dollar snuff film.

The good you've done for humanity becomes exponential.

The hate...

The knife was a pesh kabz. Pashtun.

The last overfly confirmed the personnel on site.

The love of my life was of the people I've been taught to hate.

The medic's coming!

The Nobel Prize. [chuckles]

The only reason we haven't...

The only way is forward now.

The technique for the early detection of diabetes.

The women are holed up in the house with the arches.

The world can burn for all I care.

The world isn't getting any better.

The youngest was eight...

Their boss, Keane, is ex Special Forces.

Then let's go to work.

Then she might not survive the testing.

Then why would you shoot me?

There are no men here.

There are too many people like you who can bend it to your will.

There isn't a choice.

There isn't one good thing in any of this.

There never were any girls.

There was an unanticipated amount of carnage.

There.

There's a private lab on the 15th floor.

There's always a first time. He's nothing but a traitor. That's

There's four shooters at the door and more coming.

There's got to be a price.

There's no cameras here.

There's not much to decide. It's not like they can kill me.

There's your balance, asshole.

These are extraordinary individuals.

These days? [chuckles]

These risks improve countless lives.

They are extremely resistant to capture.

They found us.

They go in the vault. They stay there under lock and key.

They had been alone so long, when she found her...

They know who we are. They know what we are.

They murdered the teachers and abducted 17 of the students at gunpoint.

They ran through the world together. Fought thousands of battles side by side.

They reached out to me, and I'm reaching out to you.

They try to condition us, you know?

They used gas.

They used this new skin graft or something.

They were accused of witchcraft themselves,

They will beg you to share it with them, and you won't be able to.

They're going to lock you up.

They're gonna get old and I won't,

They're sending you to Landstuhl, Germany for more tests.

They're still deciding.

Things you can't forget.

This can't be happening.

This changes nothing.

This gonna be like the last signal?

This guy...

This is about science,

This is an honest to God Rodin.

This is Goussainville.

This is it. Dig in.

This is what we do, Andy.

This man is more to me than you can dream.

This man prevented an accidental nuclear exchange in 1978

This one...

This place has been abandoned for 50 years.

This should do.

This the shit you into?

This will help.

Those shoes were a particularly grotesque touch.

Thousands of hours of training.

Till then, you're alone.

To the collective world population.

To the world.

To use women as shields is to be no man at all.

Today, I put this on your wound.

Together, we shall do such things.

Together.

Tomorrow...

Too many with bad intentions.

Too old.

Tortured.

Trust me. She's not gonna shoot you.

Two shots, quick kill.

Two, three generations later, we reap the benefits.

Uh, yeah. Free... free something.

Um, can we take the cuffs off?

Um...

Under the sea.

Until the end.

Until we have results we can replicate.

Use the Charlie safe house.

Very pissed off.

Wait for my signal.

Wait for the signal.

Wait for the signal.

Wait.

Wake up!

Was our grief.

Was that Him?

Was the last one to die.

Wasn't there, and the other guy's in pieces.

Way back, it was her and Andy.

We all remember what it was like.

We are usually a better judge of character.

We brought a cancer drug to the market last quarter.

We can do some good.

We can jump and survive.

We can't have them strolling back out into the world...

We did it right, Andy.

We don't get a say in when it ends. We never have.

We don't have all the answers, but we do have purpose.

We don't know when or why.

We don't need a pilot.

We don't stop.

We dream of each other. They stop when we meet.

We fight for what we think is right.

We gotta go.

We have to find Copley.

We have to find her.
