Gunpowder Milkshake Edit

A Charlotte Brontë.

A few heavies.

A girl fucked him up, too.

A girl made you look like you're from The Walking Dead?

A minute late, and she'll be celebrating

A secret escape route? A warehouse filled with guns?

After 60 seconds or so...

Again, it's, uh...

Ah. Old school.

All in favor?

All of you.

Along with the clothes you're wearing.

Always giggling in dark corners.

Always whispering at the dining table.

Am I a grandmother?

An accountant. From the clean side of the business.

An extra scoop for my favorite client.

An Uber. What the hell are you talking about?

And a Virginia Woolf.

And another hard left.

And close your eyes.

And everyone else is off the table.

And for God's sake...

And get you into some new, clean books.

And get yourself some clean boomsticks.

And I guess I needed an excuse.

And I shot him.

And I wasn't alone any more.

And I won't be able to stop them.

And I'm a man of my word.

And I'm gonna love every second of it.

And my second daughter was born.

And nobody gets hurt.

And take off your hat.

And the little girl's phone.

And The Never Ending Ocean.

And the third and the fourth.

And then go and hide, okay?

And then have a long talk about our onboarding protocols.

And then you make plans to make other plans.

And they fed me to McAlester's endless supply of thugs.

And they hired me.

And we'll push the girl cart towards you.

And when they need someone to clean up their mess...

And why is there a toddler in our place of business?

And you are a strong, smart, incredibly impressive young woman.

And you brought a new friend.

And you decided to come here?

And you get to do the easy part, stepping on the gas and breaks.

And you landed on the wrong side of the balance sheet.

And you saved me.

And you take good care of them.

And you've killed more than one.

Anna May sure can pick them.

Anna May was right.

Anna May, Madeleine. Come and see this.

Anna May, this lovely young lady wants to open an account with us.

Anything broken?

Are you a serial killer?

Are you kidding, Ma?

Are you sure it's her?

Are you sure? I could use the target practice.

Are your eyes still closed?

Around.

At least we can agree on that.

Aye.

Bad intel.

Be careful.

Because I fucked up.

Because I killed your father.

Because if ghosts could talk,

Because of an eight year old girl.

Because you have made me a stranger in my own home again.

Because you took him away from me.

Because you're a ghost, and ghosts can't talk.

Because your arms are still paralyzed?

Because...

Besides... I know you just pulled the trigger.

Bleeding on the inside?

Bleeding on the inside?

Boneheads?

Boneheads.

Both of you.

Bring back the money.

Bring your problems...

But back then, I couldn't help myself.

But he was in bed with The Firm, so there was a price to pay.

But I don't understand them.

But I was sent by you.

But if you as much as sneeze

But only after she's watched what I do to you.

But she grew up to be a fine woman.

But she's smart.

But they won't, right?

But you need me. I'm your apprentice.

But you tried to save him.

But... you kill people?

By The Firm.

Can a cop do what I just did?

Can I drive?

Can I turn on the radio, then?

Can we do this later?

Can you press the button? We're parked on minus two.

Careful of the sharp end.

Careful. It's loaded.

Cat got your tongue? Speak up.

Change them when it fits their needs.

Chin up.

Come back in one piece, okay?

Come here. Give Auntie Madeleine a hug.

Come on.

Come on. [pants]

Come.

Come.

Could happen to anyone.

Counter offer: Go back to Nathan, tell him you tried, but I roughed you up.

Cut the crap, Ma.

Cutting it close.

Did they hurt you?

Didn't want to drink it without you.

Discovery Channel.

Do you know how to drive?

Do you want your money or not?

Does the kid know about you and her dad?

Doesn't want you to do anything stupid.

Don't be a smart ass. Turn the key.

Don't be rude.

Don't come back until it's done.

Don't start begging yet.

Don't. I'm good.

Eight and three quarters.

Eight and three quarters.

Eight...

Emily goes free.

Emily.

Emily.

Emily.

Enough games.

Enough to earn a visit from you.

Evening, darling.

Everybody has a type.

Excellent.

Excellent. Tape it to my hand.

Fast forward twelve years, and I find out who shot your dad.

Fine.

Fine.

Five...

Florence, you and I are going up there to thin the herd.

For a second there, I thought it was someone dangerous.

For her twelve month old daughter.

For money?

For the record, I still think this is a shit idea.

For what it's worth...

Four...

Fuck me.

Fuck me.

Fuck.

Fudge your hunches, if you pardon my French.

Gender equality.

Girls...

Glad to see you taking an interest in my career.

Go and take Emily.

Go back to the partners and tell them we know where they work,

Go nuts, baby girl.

Go nuts.

Go to the Gutterball. Try to reason with her.

Go to the Westfield Mall across the street.

Go. In.

God, no.

Goddammit, Sam.

Goodbye, Sam.

Got it?

Got it.

Got my father's blood all over her.

Grab the biggest knife.

Great parenting.

Great. Hold that thought.

Guess there was a plan, after all.

Guns go in the cookie jar.

Had an accident.

Hard left.

Have we met before?

Having a kid in the library again.

He never comes when he says he will.

He says, skinning you alive will let him

He sent me.

He stole from some very bad people.

He took Emily.

He...

He...

He'd better be functional.

He's not going anywhere.

Hello, dear.

Hello, Sam.

Her father was killed and she has nowhere else to go.

Her ninth birthday with the worms.

Here, just let me help you.

Hey, Bonehead.

Hey, stranger.

Hey.

Hey.

Hi. I'm Emily.

How can you tell?

How is your mother?

How long will you be gone?

How much did he take?

How much trouble am I in?

How to Win Friends and Influence People.

How's this for business?

Huh?

Hunch, smunch.

Hush, girl.

I am not a serial killer.

I am so sorry I killed your father, Emily.

I called us an Uber.

I can assure you, this is not how The Firm conducts its business, sir.

I can only imagine how painful it was leaving her behind.

I can't leave her to die.

I couldn't risk your life.

I don't have a mother.

I don't like you.

I don't think I'll ever walk again.

I get it.

I got no choice.

I guess that's over.

I had a few hiccups.

I have to make a quick phone call.

I hear that's pretty lethal.

I hope this is satisfactory, sir.

I just need half an hour. I'll release her and bring the money.

I just want the girl.

I knew Anna May from your dad's work.

I knew it. Never forget those eyes.

I know there was someone else who told you what to do.

I know you. You make plans.

I know.

I know...

I looked everywhere for him.

I love my girls.

I mean no guns, no knives.

I mean...

I missed you.

I need him on his feet in ten minutes.

I need to exchange some... books.

I need weapons.

I need you to come grab the phone.

I need you to do one last thing for me,

I needed clean guns...

I never wanted this life for her.

I promise I'll explain, but right now I need your help, okay?

I put in an extra scoop for my favorite client.

I screwed this up.

I see you morons have found my stash.

I shouldn't have dragged you into this.

I think there's a bad man outside.

I told you I had a hunch.

I want the girl.

I wanted to stay with you and your aunts, but I couldn't.

I was downsized by The Firm,

I was young when I had you.

I will do anything.

I will set the girl free, unharmed.

I wish I had more time to get to know you.

I wish we had more time, Ma.

I would expect no less.

I, on the other hand, think we should dispose of the body

I, uh... I don't right now, no.

I'd like to open one.

I'll be back soon.

I'll buy us some time.

I'll get the doctor.

I'll stay in the library with Anna May and the others.

I'll text you the address later.

I'll try not to kill you, too.

I'm a few minutes late.

I'm afraid we need a tie breaker.

I'm coming for you.

I'm embarrassed to say it's been a while since I visited a library.

I'm going to do terrible things to you, Samantha.

I'm going to tear you into little pieces.

I'm insulted, frankly.

I'm Jim.

I'm not a kid any more.

I'm not making the same mistake.

I'm not sure they'd let me in!

I'm quite capable...

I'm selling cookies.

I'm sorry I couldn't give it up back then and just stay here with you.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean...

I'm sorry.

I'm the head of the HR department here at The Firm.

I've always considered myself a feminist.

I've never felt pain like this before, doc.

If I come to you,

If I could take it back...

If I get out of this alive,

If I have to tell you no again, there will be consequences.

If I'm not at the Gutterball in 15 minutes, they'll kill her.

If you screw this one up, they will give the kill order.

In the wrong place at the wrong time.

Including Jim McAlester's son.

Is anything broken?

Is he sick?

Is my daddy there?

Is that laughing gas?

Is that why he didn't come?

It can get infected.

It doesn't matter.

It made you who you are.

It needs to be rectified.

It was all unicorns and lollipops.

It was an unsolicited action by a very troubled individual.

It was different.

It was just a job to you, and he was...

It was nice...

It will be at least a year...

It's a tooth.

It's been a long day.

It's complicated.

It's for medicinal use only.

It's gonna be over soon, okay?

It's inside.

It's just a scratch.

It's just a scratch.

It's more complicated than that.

It's no place for a kid.

It's not your fight.

It's okay. Just pick it up.

It's okay. You're safe.

It's quality, not quantity.

It's really quite sad.

It's Sam.

It's too dangerous.

It's...

It's... it's complicated.

Jerk move, sending the Three Stooges after me.

Just another day at the office.

Just another day at the office. Did you bring it?

Just bring the money back.

Just fix him.

Just let the girl go.

Just made the biggest mistake of their lives.

Just patch him up.

Just relax. Take it in deep.

Just remember, you were spared

Keep her straight.

Keep it straight.

Keep talking, doc.

Killing people was the only thing I knew how to do.

Knowing what he did to us.

Language, Anna May. There's a child present.

Leaving us all behind.

Let me guess. You're the sentimental type.

Let me talk to Emily.

Let's fix this.

Let's get you into a good book.

Let's go down.

Let's go.

Listen, I need your help.

Listen, I, um... have to disappear for a while.

Look, I'm going to need your help for a little longer.

Loud and clear.

Madeleine had a hunch.

Madeleine should have told you that we don't accept new readers

Madeleine thinks this girl needs to do some reading.

Madeleine, finish getting the van ready.

Madeleine?

Making sure you're safe.

Maybe I'm the professional type?

Maybe it was meant to be.

Maybe not ever.

Maybe you should take your break now.

Maybe you should.

Me too.

Meet me at the diner.

Mm mm.

Mm. Hell of a night.

Mm. Yeah, I heard.

Mom!

Mommy says I'm not allowed to talk to strangers.

Mostly smaller ones.

Motherfucker!

Motion carried.

My hand is still paralyzed.

Nathan doesn't want you hurt.

Nathan will be here soon. He'll take care of you when I'm gone.

Next time, I'll just let them shoot me.

Next time, just do what you're told.

Nice and quick.

Nice collection.

Nine...

No guns today?

No money, nowhere to go.

No, no, no!

No, no. You don't get to talk.

No, you're not.

No! I want to stay with you.

No.

No.

No.

No... no!

Nobody tells his mother about this.

None of that matters,

Nope. Maybe I don't have a type.

Not a lot of people your age read nowadays.

Not any more.

Not in ten minutes.

Not too badly, anyway.

Not unless you want me to send your little princess back in pieces.

Not very smart, moron.

Not yet.

Now grab the tape.

Now tape the gun to my other hand.

Now that's what I call a work benefit.

Now, bring me the heads of the men that killed my boy.

Now, I'm sending you her last location.

Now, see the locker behind you?

Now, when I say "reason with her,"

Now...

Obviously your plan was to end up here.

Of disposing of one... [grunts]

Oh, and get rid of those stone age firearms you carry.

Oh, for Christ's sake, child.

Oh, really? Uh, where are they?

Oh, thank God it's just you three.

Oh, that is so sweet.

Oh, these girls are worse than the Stasi.

Oh, yeah? Well, I've got my mom.

Oh.

Okay, maybe it wasn't the best environment to raise a child in.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Listen to me, Sam.

Once I killed him, there was a mark on my back.

Once I knew, I couldn't let him walk around enjoying life...

Once I stick her with this, she'll start losing control of her arms.

One.

One...

Only bigger and more stabby.

Only one way to find out.

Or at least leave a note. But they can't.

Or maybe she wanted to be just like her mother.

Out of my way.

Painted half the house pink.

Please, I...

Please.

Please.

Please.

Please.

Put it in drive.

Put it in reverse.

Put it in reverse. [panting]

Put it on speaker.

Put the suitcase inside.

Put these on.

Regular clean or diner clean?

Remember who you're dealing with.

Remember who you're working for. As long as they're happy...

Reverse. Now.

Ro man tique.

Round two, bitch.

Said she's going to come back and pick him up later.

Sam, you're not thinking straight. Just bring the money back, now!

Samantha.

Scarlet's kid.

Scarlet's still a librarian, no matter if she's an asshole.

Seconded.

Sentimental types don't last long doing this.

Serial killers are, uh, you know, mentally unstable.

Seriously?

Seven...

Shall we return at a more convenient time?

She and the other aunts took us in.

She comes back alive.

She didn't.

She left a long time ago.

She'll figure it out.

She's a feminist.

She's a sitting duck.

She's here.

She's just a little girl.

She's quite annoying, isn't she?

She's still getting the VIP treatment?

Shh.

Shot in the shoulder.

Simple.

Six...

Slam the door shut, and it'll lock.

Slow.

So I made Nathan promise to keep you safe.

So now what?

So play it loud.

So that makes you a killer.

So why don't you hand over the suitcase,

So you had nothing to do with this?

So, here's an unrelated question.

So, ipso facto, you're a ghost.

So, no. I don't think I'm the sentimental type.

So, why do you kill them?

So. My payment?

So...

So...

So...

Some bad men are coming to hurt us.

Somebody stole from us.

Somebody who doesn't know who we really are.

Someone shot him.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry. Eight and three quarters.

Stay here.

Stay out of this, ladies.

Still.

Sure.

Take care, and see you on the other side.

Take everybody.

Tell me.

Tell them they were only spared

Ten minutes.

Ten.

Thank God we're going straight to the hospital.

Thank you, Samantha.

Thank you.

Thanks for keeping an eye on her.

Thanks to an eight year old girl.

Thanks, Ma.

Thanks, Rose.

That could be easily rectified.

That fucking shoe.

That is a hell of a story.

That is serial.

That was a...

That's close by.

That's how you lose an arm.

That's it. Get down.

That's it. Straighten up.

That's not too much to ask, is it?

That's really unfortunate.

That's the way it's gonna stay.

That's what they teach in school these days?

The bad men are coming. I really need you to go with my mom.

The best years of my life.

The board is on its way.

The diner.

The Enchanted Forest...

The guy that she shot in the stomach?

The one that looks like the right one.

The only reason you're still alive is 'cause Nathan wanted it that way.

The rest of them are coming.

The rest of you knuckleheads stay here and kill those two.

The Russians from the diner?

The Russians?

The shoe that is not currently covering my son's left foot.

The short version?

Then get it back.

Then I guess this is goodbye.

Then my son was born.

Then there's an address.

Then we'll get along just fine.

Then we'll have some real fun together.

There isn't a day that goes by I don't regret pulling that trigger.

There must be an epidemic,

There's a first time for everything. She's over there.

There's a group of men called The Firm.

There's a shopping cart behind you.

There's always a choice.

There's no more standing on the sidelines.

There's not a single person on earth I'd rather kill people with.

There's plenty of time for that.

There's something very familiar about her.

They can't bring guns into the diner.

They kidnapped his little girl. That's why he stole the money.

They kill people out of a compulsive urge.

They make all the rules and...

They sound like fun.

They think so little of me they sent a child to do their dirty work?

They think they can get away with anything.

They won't.

They would say something before disappearing.

They're not gonna push us around.

They're not gonna scare us off. This ends now.

They're waiting for you, honey.

They've been running things for a long, long time.

They've been running things for a long, long time.

This "Mommy" looks a lot like you.

This is business, Sam.

This is not a toy.

This was supposed to be low profile, not a bloody massacre.

Those are our children's sections.

Those who killed my dad?

Three hours.

Three.

Three...

To bring the money to the Gutterball bowling alley.

To prevent an all out war between our two fine organizations,

Tommy Tomahawk.

Transferred to your account.

Trust me, you'll need this.

Try the self help section.

Try to keep up.

Turn around, hon.

Two...

Um... Try wiggling your fingers.

Uncles? Anything?

Very progressive.

Wait.

Watching you.

We all need to pick a side.

We can kill them 100 times over without them ever seeing us coming.

We can't have you linked to that war zone you left behind, can we?

We gotta go.

We had a deal.

We have to get out of here.

We haven't seen you since you were yea high.

We hear about you all the time.

We kept these ladies for you.

We left London, followed your father here. When he died...

We need that money back.

We need to table this.

We need weapons and a car. We need a safe house!

We saw what you did with those hiccups. How do we know you're not a cop?

We understood each other.

We would like to offer you the woman responsible for your loss.

We'll figure it out, okay?

We'll get her back.

We'll make these disappear

We'll meet at the diner once I've finished them off.

We'll tell her he ran off with some girl.

We're gonna bring the sky down on their mother fudging heads.

We're not leaving.

Weapon and phone go in the locker,

Well,

Well, duh.

Well, scratches get infected.

Well, someone else got a plan? Hmm?

Well, that's nice.

Well, that's something we both have in common.

Well, well, well. What do we have here?

Well, you can start by not shooting people.

Well, you sure have her temper.

Well, you won't find them there.

What are you talking about? What does that mean?

What are you waiting for? Go.

What can I do for you?

What did you say your name was?

What do you mean?

What do you want?

What do you want?

What happened to him?

What happens to poor orphans in our line of work, you know?

What happens when she does?

What if it's a trap?

What kind of... books are you interested in?

What shoe?

What the hell happened tonight?

What?

What's going on?

What's the plan, doc?

What's wrong with you? Let me do this right.

When he was murdered, you were a baby. I had nothing.

When he was murdered.

When my first daughter was born, I was over the moon.

Where have you been for the last 15 years?

Where is she?

Where they live.

Where's the shoe?

Who fucked you up like this?

Who sent you to my father?

Who's crazy enough to steal from The Firm?

Why come back now?

Why don't you come out, and I'll put a bullet through your head?

Why don't you take Emily out of here?

Why not?

Why?

Without a reference.

Without my permission,

Women are fair game.

Women Who Run with the Wolves.

Wonderful.

Work through his, uh, grief.

Worms will get in there and lay eggs. Then they'll have to cut your arm off.

Would it kill you to say thank you?

Would you join us?

Wow, you sound just like your mother.

Yeah, course it is.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Yeah.

Years ago, my mom screwed up and pulled the wrong trigger.

Yes, I've got it already.

Yes, you are.

Yes.

Yes. After that, I'll get you to your mother.

Yes. And?

You bring a war with you.

You called me here oh so urgently just to remind me of that?

You can beat each other up for added realism.

You can still go, Ma. I'll cover you.

You can't just hand yourself over to those animals.

You clearly don't know my mother very well.

You don't have to lie for him.

You get one chance to end this now.

You get to live.

You have exactly 60 minutes

You haven't touched your milkshake.

You killed the wrong people.

You know how I know that?

You know I can hear you, right?

You know, Samantha...

You left us no choice, Sam.

You left.

You look really good. Are you eating well?

You said four or five idiots with peashooters.

You screwed up.

You seem so... familiar.

You should be very proud of yourself.

You should've stayed away from this line of work.

You think you have a chance here?

You, the suitcase, the new clothes

You'll need a Jane Austen.

You're a special kid, Emily.

You're an idealist.

You're being very brave, Emily.

You're bleeding.

You're going to suffer more than you thought even possible.

You're going to the basement, where it's safe.

You're human.

You're lying. You just want to get rid of me.

You're no longer under our protection.

You're probably fine. Let's go.

You're the little girl that I've heard so much about, aren't you?

You've got something in your hair.

You've made quite a reputation for yourself.

Your dad, he, um...

Your talents are needed, pronto.

60 minutes.
