Sadie

Morning.

What?

Sadie

Nothing. Good... Good night then. I mean, good morning.

This was quite a date.

Sadie

You mean a day?

Right. Yeah, that's... Officially. That's a first.

Sadie

Yeah, me too. Well, goodbye.

Goodbye.

Sadie

Well, uh, I look forward to our next day.

Bye.

Sadie

Bye.

Be a cactus. No big moves. No big moves. Be a cactus. [Knocks on her door and she reappears with them both chuckling and Cole goes inside with them making love]

We're looking for a genetic sequence. Do you know what "genetic" means? [Thug reacts to being pricked and pulls out cactus plant] That's a cactus.

Sadie

Thirsty? [Undoes Cole's gag while Winger's thug pulls out Cole's phone showing it to Winger] Be smart.

Sociopath.

Sadie

I'm not a sociopath.

You know who says that a lot? Sociopaths. I have dated some crazies in my day, but you are certifiable. This is bigger than you and me.

Sadie

And my plan worked. Better than I imagined.

Oh, really? Did you imagine I'd make it out of this alive?

Sadie

We found Aztec. [Sighs] As soon as we land, we'll take these guys down. We'll be safe. The world will be safe. Everybody wins. [Winger and henchman sit near Cole and Sadie] What's all this?

What's... all this? Hmm? I would expect more discretion from the Taxman.

Sadie

So would I.

So what are you really? Hired help? Or just the girlfriend?

Oh, believe me, she's not girlfriend material.

You know, I don't care. You die either way. [Winger's henchman points gun at Sadie]

Hey, hey, hey. Wait, wait. Wait.

Who's the idiot now? Hmm?

Sadie

I have the passcode.

Bullshit.

Sadie

He doesn't have it. I do.

Oh, really? So we can kill him. [Winger's henchman points gun at Cole]

Hey! Wait. Okay. Wait.

The passcode. Now!

Sadie

Sure. It's in my pocket.

We're good. [Sadie pulls out a tube of lipbalm] Really?

Sadie

Open it. [Winger opens tube and drops out two shock tabs from The Leopard with Sadie electrocuting The Leopard]

Shit! [Sadie and Cole then fights other two henchmen]

Sadie

I can't believe you took a picture of me while I was sleeping!

Not of you, of us!

Sadie

I knew you were a creep!

I'm not a creep! You know who says that a lot? Creeps!

Whoa. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Oh, my God.

Sadie

Take the case and go. There is a parachute. [breathing heavily]

What about you?

Sadie

Mission over man.

No. No. I gotta stop this bleeding first. You're losing a lot of blood.

Sadie

Just go, Cole.

I gotta find...

Sadie

Cole, go! Go!

Sadie, I'm telling you right...

Sadie

Get out of here. [Cole finds parachute and puts it on]

Hey! [To henchman getting up] Get out of the way, you idiot. [Fires at Cole]

Sadie

What are you doing?

I have no idea. [He opens door and they're both sucked out]

Sadie? [Sadie smacks Cole in face] Oh! God. I told you to go.

I did. I just took you with me.

Sadie

How long was I out?

A while. [Sighs]

Sadie

Looks like you got creative with the parachute

I had a lot of nervous energy.

Sadie

You got it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Sadie

You got it. You got Aztec.

Yeah. [Sadie attempts to get up] Wait. Take it easy.

Sadie

I mean, do you have a...

You lost a lot of blood. It was really gross. I'm sorry.

Sadie

I... I... I don't know what to say

Thank you You're welcome.

Sadie

Be right back. Just like your farmers' market. Come on.

Where are you taking me?

Sadie

Back to your farm, unless you screw this up. Stay close. Be cool.

How you doing? [A sitting guard **** his assault rifle] What? Friendly isn't cool?

Well, well... [chuckles] well, Sadie sunflower.

Sadie

Marco. [They passionately kiss]

Look at you.

Sadie

Mmm.

Who's your friend?

I'm, uh...

Sadie

He's a civilian I just recovered.

Ah. You look ravenous, mate. Let me put something inside you. Come on. Mmm. [Leads Cole and Sadie to vendor stalls] Sit down, sit down. Come on, sit down. Aye. The scrap out at the caves. I should have known that was you.

Sadie

It was the same people that stole Aztec.

What's Aztec?

A biochemical weapon. Very nasty. Deadly enough to wipe out the Eastern Seaboard.

Sadie

That's classified.

They're going to sell it.

Thank you for filling me in.

And they're using those caves with highly paid protection. There's only one man that can pull this off. Leveque. Disgraced French intelligence. Played in this sandbox for most of the war... [sighs] and then he went into business for himself. Arms deals, assassinations. If he's your target, be careful. He's a dangerous man. Anyway, mate, best chaat in town. Enjoy it. This is yours, sunflower. Extra spicy. Just how you like it.

So, are you two, um, you know, a couple?

Yeah.

Sadie

No.

Yes. Yeah.

Sadie

No. It was like five months.

A long time. You know, we had a lot in common. You know, work. Not work. [To vendor man] Hey, Mahmoud. [Laughs]

Got it. Subtle.

Sadie

It's not that. It's just that sometimes it's easier to date someone in the same profession.

Always. Although I wouldn't call what we did dating.

Sadie

Oh, please. Can we focus?

Well, that's charming. Very cool.

Okay.

Very cool.

Sadie

I need to find Aztec. And I need your guys to get Cole back safely to America.

Who is he really?

Sadie

Nobody. He's a mistake.

I... You're the mistake. She said she was an art curator. [Marco laughs heartily]

Sadie

Wait a second.

Oh, my God.

You said... What? Is he your boyfriend? [Laughs] He's very funny. Oh, you poor bastard. You thought you met a hottie, right? Not a Mata Hari. But, hey, at least the no pants dance was worth it.

Sadie

Oh, God. [Gets up from table and walks away]

No, it wasn't.

Oh, come on. It wa- Oh, come on. It was. It was for me. [Holds out a prosthetic hand] And I lost a hand. Lost it.

Wait. You lo-

Yeah, gone. It's fake. Touch it.

That's because of Sadie?

Yeah. You can touch it.

No. I... I'm... I'm okay. How?

When Sadie and I were together, we took a little romantic getaway to Myanmar.

Sadie

Uh, no. It was a mission.

There were many positions. Don't know if you remember, but anyway. Things went south. I got captured, and, uh, Sadie took right off. Turns out that's exactly what the secret police did to me.

Yeah, don't worry about it, man. You got two hands, right, but only one life. You know what I miss most, mate? Guess. [Makes a very blatant reference to masturbation gesture]

Yeah.

I used to do that all the time. Can't do it anymore, can I?

Sorry. You left your boyfriend to get his hand cut off. What the hell is wrong with you?

Nothing. I'd have done the same. Mission over man. Right, sunflower? Surrounded by lunatics.

Wait a minute. Did you come back to save me or get Aztec?

Ooh.

Sadie

You were a secondary objective.

Oh, my, God.

High-priority secondary, I'm sure. And look at you now, brother. Thriving. Every word you're saying is making it worse. Every word.

Sadie

Marco.

This guy.

Sadie

Hey. Are you gonna take him back home or not?

Oh. Please say yes. I'd really hate it if one of my limbs comes between Sadie and a clean exit.

Sure. Sadie survivors have to look after each other, right?

Sadie

Thank you. Honestly, thank you so much.

Yeah.

I used to do that all the time. Can't do it anymore, can I?

Sorry. You left your boyfriend to get his hand cut off. What the hell is wrong with you?

Nothing. I'd have done the same. Mission over man. Right, sunflower? Surrounded by lunatics.

Wait a minute. Did you come back to save me or get Aztec?

Ooh.

Sadie

You were a secondary objective.

Oh, my, God.

High-priority secondary, I'm sure. And look at you now, brother. Thriving. Every word you're saying is making it worse. Every word.

Sadie

Marco.

This guy.

Sadie

Hey. Are you gonna take him back home or not?

Oh. Please say yes. I'd really hate it if one of my limbs comes between Sadie and a clean exit.

You're welcome, babe. Kiss?

Sadie

No. [Walks away]

No.

Sadie

Goodbye, Cole. I'm glad that you survived. [Comes back] Um, I just wanna be very clear. Do not ever contact me again. Okay?

With pleasure. I've already forgotten your name. Which I'm sure by the way is fake anyway, so... [Scoffs] Unbelievable.

Tell me about it. She went for a normie, but that's just lying to herself.

Yeah.

Anyway, cheer up, mate. Stop staring at her. Stop crying. You're safe now. Come on. We got a cheeky bottle-o in the back. On the piss, you and me get drunk, get smashed. Alcohol in your mouth. This is my town. Nothing happens here that I don't see coming a mile away. [Bounty hunter shoots Marco in the forehead]

Everything but that I guess. Walk. Both of you.

Sorry about Marco.

Sadie

Stop talking before you get us killed.

Don't worry. They want him alive. I don't know what your deal is, but I'm sure they'll pay for you too.

Oh, they definitely will.

Sadie

Cole, shut up.

Just... I'm trying to keep you alive. [Scoffs] Would you rather I say they wouldn't pay for you?

This is so cute. Get a room. If it means anything, he's not the Taxman.

Yeah, and I'm not the Grandson of Sam.

Huh?

Like the Son of Sam, the serial killer, but next gen. I'm the best bounty hunter alive.

Ooh. [The Leopard fatally shoots the Bounty hunter 1] Ooh.

Second best.

That was very impressive.

Shall we? [Cole and Sadie continue walking]

Yep, yep. Yep.

You disappointed me, Taxman. That was too easy. Now your lady friend's gonna die 'cause of you.

That's funny. Usually the other way around.

It was you who followed me to Europe.

Lured by your lying.

God, you two need to get a room.

We did. That's what got us into this mess.

Okay, get in the car. Lady drives. Taxman, you're riding middle. Scooch, scooch.

Well, Taxman it up.

Sadie

Don't use Taxman as a verb.

You mind telling us who you are?

They call me the Leopard. [An assassin in the backseat fatally snaps The Leopard's neck]

Oh!

Sadie

Oh, my God.

Called him the Leopard. But even leopards get killed by lions, hyenas, lightning. Get him out. And drive. [Cole pushes Bounty Hunter 1 out of the vehicle]

And who are you?

God. The Bounty Hunter.

Wow. You guys have really good names in your world. It's like the WWE, but scarier.

One twist of this ring will send 50,000 volts through your sorry ass. Make you wish you were dead. [Chuckles]

Sadie

Too late.

This is great. Thank you for this.

Sadie

Huh?

No, I was just thinking how happy I am to have an electrified hockey puck stuck to my neck with what, 50,000 volts ready to go into...

Sadie

I can't take this.

...volts into my-

Sadie

You really need to shut up.

Wow. [Sighs]

You two should get a room. You know what? Stop. Pull over here. My car is better.

Got you, suckers.

Sadie

If you're collecting the bounty, where are they taking delivery?

You disappeared on me. We had an appointment.

Sadie

The mountains called.

Sadie, it's normal to be affected by what happened. Death, anyone's, can fill us with urgency.

Sadie

This is not about what happened. I didn't really know her, but... [inhales sharply, stammers and sighs] She was the same as me. Same age, same job. The one time I was in her house, it was the same as mine. [Chuckles] Nice, but cold. Empty, except for one sad houseplant, which is more than I have. She died alone.

Sadie, stay present. No big moves, no big changes.

Sadie

So don't marry the rafting guide I just met? [Chuckles] Maybe start with a houseplant. I'd probably eat it. My cold, empty house has a cold, empty fridge. I'm gonna stop for groceries.

Let's check in tomorrow.

Sadie

Yeah.

Cole Turner

Be a cactus. No big moves. No big moves. Be a cactus

Edna gave me a hand. She was high.

Emoji stuff counts. He is gonna blow it. Mark my words.

Especially if she's the one who ghosted you... Oh, right. An international art curator, doesn't have an overseas calling plan. That's very unusual. [stammers] Talking of romantic gestures, what's that you got in the back then, hey? Is it a little cactus, is it?

Fiona was a bitch. You're a hopeless romantic, just like your mom.

He just got back from having sex with a stranger, not fighting the Germans.

Cole Turner

It's the sub-lie of the first original lie.

Oh, London, the Lady in the Mist [Corrected by daughter]... The Gray Lady. [Corrected by daughter again]...

Oh, no, no, no, I meant with your life. You know, grow a pair, move out of your parents' house... [Answering father's question] There is. He came off way too strong, so she ghosted him... [Father inquires about the term "ghosting] Yeah. It's when someone breaks off all contact. For example, let's just say a young lady makes a horrible, horrible mistake one night, and then the guy just keeps on texting her with emojis, over and over.

That is my point exactly, Cole. You missed spring break to get a stupid voucher, which you never used. I mean, that is the type of guy you are.
