(CLAP FOR THE KILLERS BY
STREET SWEEPER SOCIAL CLUB)
Now can you clap
for the killers?
(FIREWORKS EXPLODING)
Give it up
for them gangsters
One time for the killers
Double up
for them gangsters
Well, I wrote this
for criminals
But all of y'all
should listen at me
Now if you ever
catch me snitchin'
Just haul off and slap me
They on the other team
Let's rumble
Is my thoughts exactly
They work for gangsters
And they wacked
Fred Hampton Jr.'s Pappy
Ay, playboy
Pop 'em with a pistol
And get executed
Ay, mama
Murder 'em with missiles
And you get saluted
Go head and gank 'em
for a grand
It's DNA computed
But bankers bathe
in the Bahamas
Off of billions looted
Now can you clap?
Now can you clap?
(CAMERAS CLICKING)
Now can you clap
for them killers?
Give it up
for them gangsters
One time for the killers
Double up
for them gangsters
(LIVELY CHATTER, LAUGHTER)
But they the ones
who wrote the laws
Not for
them Coppola criminals
They just act hard
Tony Montana had a stylist
and a SAG card
When he reloaded
Slaves forgot
that they had back scars
Ay, Mister DeNiro
What kind of gun is that?
Can you look more
like a menace?
Take two
Now run it back
Ay, so what Scorsese
Got all them money stacks
Long as his lens
never looks
At the real maniacs
Clap for them killers
Give it up
for them gangsters
One time for the killers
Double up
for them gangsters

DR. KAGEN:
Okay, there's nothing here
to indicate any tumors
-so we can rule that out.
-FLOOD: All right.
That is one hell of a resume
you've got there.
Yeah, there's no substitute
for experience.
(CHUCKLES)
Yeah.
Is that really necessary?
DR. KAGEN: What, all this
and you're scared of a needle?
You don't know what I can do
with that needle.
(CHUCKLES) Man up, soldier.
You know,
in all the years, Joe,
how many hits to the head
do you think you've taken?
Define hit.
You know, saw stars,
blacked out,
threw up, that kind of thing.
Uh, I never threw up.
Yeah, I guess I've had
my bell rung
-a few times.
-Mm.
It's just,
repeated head trauma
can lead to CTE
which the scans can't detect.
What are you saying?
I'm saying it might be time
to reevaluate your lifestyle,
Sergeant Flood.
-Okay?
-Yeah.
I'll run some more tests.
Joseph,
it's 11 o'clock already.
You know I worry
when you're late.
FLOOD: You worry because
worrying is what you do.
I had to see Doc Kagen.
He says hi.
You were wounded?
No, I've been
having these really
bad headaches. I told you.
ZVI: Doctors.
-What do doctors know?
-Yeah.
Well, I've been having
double vision as well, so...
That's bad.
In this game, you wouldn't
know what target to shoot.
(SIGHS)
Are you gonna
drink that coffee
or just stir it to death?
Don't you worry
about my coffee.
So, I spoke to our friend.
The police are working
on a theory
that one of Petrov's
own security team
did the hit. You're clean.
Am I?
Are you asking professionally
or philosophically?
I don't know.
Sometimes I ask myself,
"Why the hell do I do this?"
Petrov was scum,
trafficking women.
You did the world a favor.
What will they say about me
when someone takes me
off the board?
Will anyone even notice?
Leave judgement to God.
Our job is simply
to arrange the meeting.
Now for the good news.
What good news?
The $750,000 you just made,
-30% to the laundry...
-(WHIRRING)
...minus expenses...
Gonna buy you
a new calculator.
-Minus my commission.
-(WHIRRING)
Cheap at half the price.
(SIGHS)
We're gonna need to talk
about some of these expenses.
You need a vacation.
Get some sun.
Meet a nice girl.
Where am I
gonna meet a nice girl?
Who knows
where you'll meet her?
Just get me another gig.
Joseph, never get
so busy making a living
that you forget
to make a life.
Did you read that
on a fortune cookie?
That's Dolly Parton,
my friend.
(FLOOD CHUCKLES)
(SHINE BY DOLLY PARTON
PLAYING)
Give me a word
Give me a sign
Show me where to look
And tell me
what will I find?
What will I find?
Lay me on the ground
And fly me in the sky
Show me where to look
And tell me
What will I find?
AIMEE: Rehearsals are closed
to the public.
(SIGHS) Uh, belongs
to one of your dancers.
Thanks.
FLOOD: Hey.
-Hi.
-FLOOD: Hey.
-Joe?
-Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Hi.
(IN FRENCH)
I didn't realize I had that.
You've had this
this whole time?
Yeah.
Wow, you really
are a lifesaver.
First time I've heard that.
Well, you saved mine.
How's your foot?
It's good. It's nothing.
Just a little bruised.
(WHISPERING IN FRENCH)
Can I buy you dinner?
You know, just as a...
as a thank you.
Um...
Unless you can't because...
because you can't.
No, it's not that.
It's just...
Okay. I'll just
give you my number.
I have to get back
to rehearsal,
but I'll be done at five.
So call me...
if you...
want to.
"Maze."
Maize.
Maize.
(CHUCKLES)
What?
(IN FRENCH)
(BOTH LAUGH)
(MAIZE YELLS EXCITEDLY)
Oh
Heaven
Let your light shine
(SONG ABRUPTLY ENDS)
(SIGHS)
(SHINE CONTINUES PLAYING)
Maize.
(SIGHS)
(PHONE TAPPING)
(SIGHS)
Good to see you today.
Good to see you today?
(SIGHS) All that dancing
must make you hungry.
No.
'Sup, girl?
(CHUCKLES)
No.
It's Joe.
I'd love to.
Send.
Mmm.
Mmm.
Where do you put it all?
(CHUCKLES)
Before we started the show,
we were rehearsing
eight hours a day.
Now we're at four hours a day,
six shows a week.
I cannot do that
on celery and rice cakes.
How'd you end up in Budapest?
Milos, she's one of the best
choreographers in the world.
Yeah.
The show was incredible
up until...
-The murder and shooting?
-Yeah.
That wasn't
in the program notes.
How did you end up here?
I don't run into
many Americans.
Work.
I travel all over Europe
and this was central,
affordable, low-key.
You got family?
Uh...
I joined the army
when I was 18.
I'm not sure
anybody noticed when I left.
I didn't think to remind them.
What do you do now?
Retirement planning.
(CHUCKLES) What?
Could you help a dancer
who needs to retire soon?
You're too young to retire.
Dancers are like boxers.
Father Time
remains undefeated.
Don't you love dancing?
The last 10 years,
two ankle surgeries
torn ligaments,
stress fractures.
I'm not complaining.
I love dance. I really do.
My mom had to work two jobs
to afford my ballet classes
so to me, it could
never be just a hobby.
So I was thinking
when I retire
I could start a dance school
for kids like me.
A place where
they get to decide
who they really want to be.
(LAUGHS)
It all sounds
a bit too crazy, but...
I don't think so.
No. I think it sounds perfect.
Well, if that doesn't work out,
I can always become
a cat burglar.
I'll need
a good getaway driver.
Mm. That seems risky.
Any benefits?
(CHUCKLES)
Me in a cat suit, duh!
Where do I send
(LAUGHS) my application?
(MAIZE LAUGHS)
Did you just laugh?
-No.
-You did.
-I definitely did not.
-You did.
-You're smiling right now.
-(LAUGHS)
-Am I?
-It suits you.
-Maybe.
-It really does.
(I GOT YOU BY LOLO FT.
HIGHLAND PARK COLLETIVE)
(SHRIEKS, LAUGHS)
Huh! Huh!
All right
Mm-hmm
I really like
the way you move
You're like
a pocket full of jewels
The headline in my news
-(MUFFLED GUNSHOT)
-(SPLATTER)
I wanna tell you
I do, I do, I do
I like the dirt
in your hair
(AUDIENCE CHEERING,

(BONES CRUNCH)
(BOTH LAUGHING)
-Oh, you're not ticklish.
-I'm not.
-It makes no sense.
-I'm not ticklish.
I like the way
you hold your money
(LAUGHING, SHRIEKS)
Ooh
I really want you, I do
I do, I do
I got you
-I do
-I do
I got a one-track mind
and it's you this time
-All right
-All right
-Oh, yeah
-Oh, yeah
All right
She's a dancer.
Table dancer?
No. Come on. (CHUCKLES)
It's ballet.
She's a dancer at the Bolshoi.
-She got a name?
-Yeah, her name's Maize.
Maize? Does Maize know
what you do?
I don't think
I can tell her, Zvi.
Are you serious about her?
Yeah, serious enough
to get out of the game
before she finds out.
There's two ways out
of The Killer's Game, Joseph.
You walk away clean
or you go out on your back.
-(TINNITUS RINGING)
-There's a lot of people
who would like
to see me slabbed.
Still with the headaches?
What did Doc Kagen say?
Still waiting on test results.
(CLEARS THROAT)
You play by the rules.
You never took a mark
that didn't have it coming.
No kids,
no innocent bystanders.
You want to walk.
We can make it happen.
Then I'm out.
(CLINKING)
I was also thinking I should
get a life insurance policy.
Joe, come on.
Guys like us don't have
life insurance policies.
Do I even have to say it?
We don't need
some claims adjuster
sniffing around our business.
I know. Can you just make
something look good on paper?
Fake it. For Maize.
Very well.
And, uh, I got a favor to ask.
-Oh, now there's a favor.
-(CLEARS THROAT) Yeah.
So Maize wants to have
a birthday dinner for me
and I told her
I'd invite friends.
I thought you and Sharon
might want to...
Yeah.
-Be delighted.
-All right. Thank you.
(BOTH TOAST IN HEBREW)
(IN FRENCH)
(GROANING)
(TINNITUS RINGING)
(MAIZE SPEAKING)
(AIMEE SPEAKING)
-Uh-uh.
-(LAUGHS)
S'il vous plait!
-Yes?
I've known Joseph
for 20 years.
He's the most private person
I know.
(WHISPERS IN FRENCH)
And I know this.
He's crazy about you.
(SIGHS)
-Trust me, it's mutual.
-SHARON: Right.
Men need looking after
in every area of their lives.
They don't know it,
but they do.
You need to be
a chef in his kitchen,
an accountant with the books,
a lady in the streets,
and a freak in his bed!
-(LAUGHS)
-ZVI: Sharon, Sharon.
Don't be a shonda.
Please leave
the poor girl alone.
No, Zvi.
I'm taking notes, please.
-Sharon, anything else?
-Yeah!
Why are you encouraging her?
It makes her happy. Look.
If you've done something bad,
wrecked his motor...
-Okay.
-...give him a blow job!
If it's really bad, swallow.
And if it's
really, really bad,
let him pop it
in the tradesman's.
Did you just tell me
to take it in the ass?
-Bless.
-MAIZE: She did.
(LAUGHTER)
SHARON: After that,
you can tell him
you've murdered
their mother...
MAIZE: Right.
SHARON: ...cut her throat.
-They won't care.
-(LAUGHTER)
What'd I miss?
Oh, Joe.
Sharon was just giving me
-some very insightful advice.
-FLOOD: Uh-oh.
-I'll show you later.
-FLOOD: Okay.
MAIZE: Maybe. If you want.
ZVI: Joseph...
We are surrounded.
I surrender.
-I surrender with you.
-Yes?
-We give up.
-We surrender.
(LIVELY CHATTER, LAUGHTER)
ZVI: I can see
why you're retiring.
Boychik, if you're
getting serious with Maize
tell her what you do.
All of it.
I told Sharon everything
very early on.
If Maize loves you,
she'll understand.
You played by the rules.
Women respect integrity.
If she finds out later,
the trust you built,
-it's gone.
-(SNAPS FINGERS)
-ALL: Happy birthday
-(LAUGHING)
...to you
I forgot it was your birthday.
Happy birthday to you
Oh, man.
Happy birthday, dear Joe
Happy birthday to you
(ALL CHEERING)
Wait, make a wish.
Make a wish.
-Okay.
-(BLOWS)
DR. KAGEN: We got the results
from those tests.
I'm afraid (SIGHS)
I've got some bad news, Joe.
You have
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.
It's a neurodegenerative
disorder.
Which means what exactly?
It means rapid
motor-neuron disintegration
leading to a loss
of coordination.
Severe headaches, blindness,
and diminished
mental capacity.
-Are you positive?
-Yeah.
I had the sample tested
by three separate labs
and I got the same result.
(SHARP INHALE)
Now, I'm going
to order some more tests.
(SIGHS)
Okay.
So what am I looking at?
Chemo? Something like that?
DR. KAGEN: Hm.
There is no cure.
The first step should be to
get you into palliative care
and the sooner
we begin treatment,
the more comfortable
we can make this for you,
okay?
(SIGHS)
(EXHALES, CLEARS THROAT)
How long do I have?
Best case, three months.
Things will
deteriorate quickly,
but there are things we can do
to make it easier.
Turn me into a vegetable
while I wait to die.
I don't think so. No.
DR. KAGEN:
If you need some therapy,
some counseling...
FLOOD: No.
No, I'm good.
DR. KAGEN: From my end,
Joe, I'm really sorry.
I really am.

I wasn't expecting you.
Are you okay?
You look kind of...
I need someone retired.
I need a nice, clean job.
What? What is...
Sorry, what's the matter
with you?
Who's getting retired?
Me.
I'm the target.
I'll pay. Don't worry.
The going rate, two million.
Can you explain to me
exactly what is going on?
I got a disease.
You know, the headaches.
I'm... I'm getting
the shakes and...
and it's gonna take me out.
Here's a little
over a half a million
in mixed currency
and gold coins.
I want you
to liquidate everything else.
It all goes to Maize
through the life insurance.
No, Joseph. This is madness.
The life insurance won't
pay out for a suicide.
She has to believe it.
So I'll pay you
to assign an assassin.
You choose who.
No.
This is what we do.
We go to every doctor.
If they say it's hopeless,
we go up the mountain,
find a shaman.
Zvi...
I've lived by the sword.
I want to go out the same way.
You want to fight,
you fight for your life.
I can't fight if I'm blind...
staggering around
like a drunk, shitting myself.
I don't want Maize
to see me like that.
You know what I think?
I think you want
to protect her from the truth
of who you really are.
Zvi, I'm asking you
for your help.
-I'd do the same for you.
-That's some comfort. Thanks.
It's what I've decided.
I'll see your wishes
are carried out
to the very last dot.
But get one thing straight.
There is no way
on this fucking earth
I'm ordering a hit on you.
Not for two million,
not for 22 million.

-(CLINKS)
-(SPLASHES)
I need a contract executed.
(CHUCKLES)
Go talk to your rabbi.
I did.
He turned me down.
Conflict of interest.
Joe, if you were covered
in napalm burning alive
I wouldn't piss on you
to put you out.
Perfect.
I've come to the right place.
(SIGHS)
Max, you know Joe Flood,
right?
Best assassin in Europe.
Joe, do you know
my bodyguard, Max?
(THE BARBER OF SEVILLE

-(GRUNTS)
-(MAN SCREAMING)
(SCREAMING STOPS)
Hiring war criminals
as security? Classy.
ANTOINETTE: Flood here
handcuffed my father
to the steering wheel
of his Mercedes,
drove him into the sea.
He was a good assassin,
but your father transgressed.
He broke
the rules of the game.
I should have Max put one
in your head right now.
Mon plaisir.
Wait a few hours, Max,
and earn your two million.
You're talking in riddles.
Who do you want retired?
Me.
All these years,
you couldn't touch me
because I was always
on the right side of the game.
Now I'm paying you
for the green light.
Why not do it yourself?
Maybe this was a mistake.
I'm sorry to waste your time.
(SIGHS)
No, no, no.
Please, sit down.
(SIGHS)
Two million?
I want it done clean.
ANTOINETTE:
My account in Bermuda.
-I know you're good for it.
-Who are you thinking of?
Honestly, it depends
on who's available.
But they'll be the very best.
-Thank you.
-The pleasure's mine.
I've thought about
doing this for years.
Might have risked it
if it wasn't
professional suicide.
This way,
I kill you and get paid.
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
It gets me wet.
Whatever turns you on.
Give me till 2400 hours.
The clock starts at midnight.
You're the client, Mr. Flood.

-Are you having headaches?
-Yeah.
What's going on?
You're tired?
You seem anxious.
(SIGHS)
I have to tell you something.
I've got to tell you
something too.
I have to leave town
for a few weeks.
I'm not sure I'm coming back.
What?
That...
What does that mean?
I need to take a step back
and reassess
what I really want.
You're talking crazy.
We make each other happy.
No, we need a break.
A break means
breaking up, Joe.
What is going on?
I know when I love someone,
and I know when they love me.
So what is there
to back away from?
-It's over, Maize.
-(EXCLAIMS) What?
It has to be.
Soon this will all
make perfect sense.
Why? Why?
I'm sorry.
Here. Remember me this way.

I can't even say it, Maize.
I've got a brain disorder
and it's gonna kill me.

I want you to understand

Oh, Flood. Thank God.
There's been a mistake.
You do not have
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.
But they tested me
multiple times.
Yeah, they switched labels
with another patient
and that poor bastard
definitely has
Creutzfeldt-Jakob.
It was the wrong barcode
on the wrong test tube.
I think you should consider
a lawsuit against the lab.
What about my headaches
and double vision?
It's a bit of a mystery.
Have you had
your eyes checked?

How'd she get
a fucking branch?
I... I let her out of the car
just for a minute, and then...
(VOCALIZES THUMP)
-You dumbass fucking wannabe.
-Sorry, Mr. Lovedahl, sir.
Sorry, uh, really strong.
Um...
I just want to say
that I don't really think
that I'm cut out
for this kind of work, sir.
That might be
the first intelligent thing
I've heard you say.
-So, now what?
-The contract is still active.
Oh, I'm not splitting my money
with you, Sly
and the Family Stone here.
We're mercenaries.
We already got paid.
Now this is some bullshit.
You tell Queen Bitch
if she still wants him dead,
the price is going up.
Yeah, to what?
-Six million.
-Six million?
I gotta make a call.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
MAIZE:
Do you think I killed him?
FLOOD: I hope so.
What? No. Joe.
No, I don't think you did.
But I don't think
it felt great.
-Good.
-(PANTING)
The night we met,
the men who died...
-Yeah, that was me.
-That was opening night!
I'm sorry.
And how about
the last 24 hours, Joe?
Do you have
an explanation for that?
-Or some bullshit apologies?
-No.
-I thought I was dying.
-What?
I hired an old enemy
to take me out clean.
It turns out
I was misdiagnosed.
-(EXCLAIMS) What?
-I tried to protect you.
Protect me from who?
A bunch of killers or you?
Both! From all of it.
What do you do for a living?
-Huh?
-(SIGHS)
-Maize, I'm a hitman.
-You kill people?
Well, I'm retired from that.
-(SCOFFS) You look it.
-I'm retiring.
You're a murderer for hire!
(SIGHS) That's what
an assassin is, yeah.
I don't know
if it'll make any difference
but the people I work for,
we don't kill civilians,
just criminals.
Well, that's what
you've been doing.
-You're retired.
-Yes.
Good, because I'm not
having a kid with a killer.
A kid?
I'm pregnant, Joe.
I tried to tell you
the other night
but you broke up with me.
Look, I love you, you love me,
and the rest we'll figure out
as we go, okay?
I swear,
I'll never lie to you again.
Are you okay?
-You better fucking not...
-Hey. Maize?
Jeez.
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

(PANTING)
Maize. Maize.
Come on, breathe.
Stay with me.
(SERENE MUSIC PLAYING)

(GLASS CLINKING)
Perhaps I can be
of some assistance?
Not unless you're a doctor.
Do I look like a doctor?
Is there one in the village?
There's a half decent vet.
The nearest doctor
-is 40 kilometers away.
-FLOOD: Maize.
Hey, baby. Are you okay?
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
Joe.
-Baby.
-(GROANS)
Easy.
You got shot.
(GROANING)
It hurts.
It just grazed you.
I thought
I was gonna lose you.
You're gonna have to try
harder than that.
Maize, I love you.
Will you marry me?
-What?
-Marry me.
Be my wife.
To have and to hold,
sickness and health,
the whole thing.
-Yeah?
-Yeah. (LAUGHS)
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
Father, will you marry us?
Do you have
a marriage license?
No.
-Do you have any witnesses?
-You.
Are you even Catholic?
I think my mother was.
Oh. So it's guilt
by association.
Look, Father, in the last day
I've had more people try
to kill me than I can count,
and I just found out
I'm gonna be a father.
So I might not get
another shot at this,
so what do you say?
On one condition.
FLOOD: Yeah, name it.
You must give confession.
Ooh.
I don't think we have
that kind of time, Father.
Make time.
Oh, man.
So that brings us up
to the last couple months.
(SIGHS) Um...
There was a chief
of a Corsican crime syndicate.
That was one shot
over a mile out.
A Romanian arms dealer.
Uh, did him
at close range with a pistol.
A rogue British agent
in Geneva.
That was hand-to-hand...
A Russian oligarch in Vienna,
a garrote.
I mean, real quiet.
In all my years as a priest,
as a human being,
I have never heard
anything remotely...
And last night, there was
the entire Goyang crew.
They came after me,
so technically, self-defense.
Murder is murder is murder.
No technicalities.
Most of my targets
never saw it coming.
Kind of a point of pride
with top hitmen.
Pride is a sin.
Well, kind of lightweight
compared to contract killing,
right?
I'm not sure I'm qualified
to pardon all of this.
What, do you need to call
the Vatican or something?
They'd tell me
to call the police.
(SIGHS)
Look, Father.
The way I see it is your boss,
the man upstairs,
he's given me a second chance.
I'm gonna be a father,
so I don't want
to mess that up.
I'll give you redemption,
but no more killing,
no more murder.
Well, there might be some
self-defense in the near future.
Do you get this?
It's a sin. It's wrong.
You asked for a confession.
I wish I kept my mouth shut
if we're both being honest here.
So are you gonna marry us now,
or what?
(SIGHS)
Ego te absolvo. I absolve you.
All right. Thank you, Father.
FATHER: Dearly beloved,
you're gathered here today
in the presence of God
to declare
your love, honor, fidelity,
and commitment to one another
for as long
as you both shall live.
I don't suppose
you have a ring, do you?
Um... Oh!
Will this do?
As long as the grenade
is far away.
It went off hours ago.
One of the party girls.
I lost track. Silly me.
-Back to the wedding.
-(MAIZE LAUGHS)
Do you, Joe, take this woman
to love, honor and obey
in sickness and in health
for as long as you shall live?
I do.
(CHUCKLES)
And do you, Maize,
take this man
to love, honor, and obey?
-I don't know about obey.
-Maize!
-(GUNSHOTS)

You couldn't have waited
30 seconds?
You done made this shit

Um, well, college isn't cheap,

two ankle surgeries
torn ligaments,

I'm not complaining.
I love dance. I really do.
My mom had to work two jobs
to afford my ballet classes
so to me, it could
never be just a hobby.

when I retire
I could start a dance school

they get to decide
who they really want to be.

If you've done something bad,
wrecked his motor...
-Okay.

If it's really bad, swallow.
And if it's

Did you just tell me

Oh, Joe.

Boychik, if you're

tell her what you do.
All of it.
I told Sharon everything
very early on.
If Maize loves you,
she'll understand.
You played by the rules.
Women respect integrity.

I'm afraid (SIGHS)
I've got some bad news, Joe.
You have
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.
It's a neurodegenerative
disorder.
Which means what exactly?
It means rapid
motor-neuron disintegration
leading to a loss
of coordination.
Severe headaches, blindness,
and diminished
mental capacity.
-Are you positive?
-Yeah.
I had the sample tested
by three separate labs
and I got the same result.
(SHARP INHALE)
Now, I'm going
to order some more tests.
(SIGHS)
Okay.
So what am I looking at?
Chemo? Something like that?
DR. KAGEN: Hm.
There is no cure.
The first step should be to
get you into palliative care
and the sooner
we begin treatment,
the more comfortable
we can make this for you,
okay?
(SIGHS)
(EXHALES, CLEARS THROAT)
How long do I have?
Best case, three months.
Things will

I don't think so. No.

Me.
I'm the target.
I'll pay. Don't worry.

I got a disease.
You know, the headaches.
I'm... I'm getting

and it's gonna take me out.
Here's a little
over a half a million
in mixed currency

I want you
to liquidate everything else.
It all goes to Maize
through the life insurance.
No, Joseph. This is madness.
The life insurance won't
pay out for a suicide.
She has to believe it.
So I'll pay you
to assign an assassin.
You choose who.
No.
This is what we do.
We go to every doctor.

we go up the mountain,

I don't want Maize

You know what I think?
I think you want
to protect her from the truth
of who you really are.
Zvi, I'm asking you
for your help.
-I'd do the same for you.
-That's some comfort. Thanks.
It's what I've decided.
I'll see your wishes

Do you have

No.
-Do you have any witnesses?

Are you even Catholic?

Oh. So it's guilt
by association.
Look, Father, in the last day
I've had more people try
to kill me than I can count,
and I just found out
I'm gonna be a father.
So I might not get
another shot at this,
so what do you say?
On one condition.
FLOOD: Yeah, name it.
You must give confession.
Ooh.
I don't think we have
that kind of time, Father.
Make time.
Oh, man.
So that brings us up
to the last couple months.
(SIGHS) Um...
There was a chief
of a Corsican crime syndicate.
That was one shot
over a mile out.
A Romanian arms dealer.
Uh, did him
at close range with a pistol.
A rogue British agent
in Geneva.
That was hand-to-hand...
A Russian oligarch in Vienna,
a garrote.
I mean, real quiet.
In all my years as a priest,
as a human being,
I have never heard
anything remotely...
And last night, there was
the entire Goyang crew.
They came after me,
so technically, self-defense.
Murder is murder is murder.
No technicalities.
Most of my targets
never saw it coming.
Kind of a point of pride
with top hitmen.
Pride is a sin.
Well, kind of lightweight
compared to contract killing,
right?
I'm not sure I'm qualified
to pardon all of this.
What, do you need to call
the Vatican or something?
They'd tell me
to call the police.
(SIGHS)
Look, Father.
The way I see it is your boss,
the man upstairs,
he's given me a second chance.
I'm gonna be a father,
so I don't want
to mess that up.
I'll give you redemption,
but no more killing,
no more murder.
Well, there might be some
self-defense in the near future.
Do you get this?
It's a sin. It's wrong.
You asked for a confession.
I wish I kept my mouth shut
if we're both being honest here.
So are you gonna marry us now,
or what?
(SIGHS)
Ego te absolvo. I absolve you.
All right. Thank you, Father.
FATHER: Dearly beloved,
you're gathered here today
in the presence of God
to declare
your love, honor, fidelity,
and commitment to one another
for as long
as you both shall live.
I don't suppose
you have a ring, do you?

is far away.
