Hutch Mansell

Give me the goddamn kitty cat bracelet, mother****er!

Hutch Mansell

They say God doesn't close one door without opening another. Please God, open that door.

Hutch Mansell

I hope these assholes like hospital food.

Hutch Mansell

Everybody dies... some sooner than others.

Hutch Mansell
[To bus driver after beating down the thugs]

Sorry about the mess.

Hutch Mansell

Deep down, I always knew it was a facade. It just lasted a lot longer than I thought.

Hutch Mansell
[Upon sending Becca Mansell and children to their basement during the home invasion]

Don't call 911.

Hutch Mansell
[sitting having a drink before four bloodied thugs seated on a couch]

Well, fellas, here we are. I know your boss sent you here, but you got to know when to say no. A couple of chapters back, um, there was this guy named Alan. [attempts to recall] Aaron. No, it was Alan. Alan skimmed about three million bucks from a U.S. military base in Rivolto, Italy, and his prize was me looming over him with a Walther PPK. No, wait. Uh, it was a suppressed H&K USP .45 at the back of his head. And he started begging, like they all do, and I usually pulled the trigger before the waterworks began, but this time I listened. I heard a man who genuinely regretted his choices and wanted nothing more than to shed his wolf skin and return to the pasture as a lamb. I quietly let Alan go. A year later, I went back to check on him, fully expecting to find him back unto the fold. Alan was living in Boise, Idaho. He had a wife. She came with two kids. They had another on the way. They had a dog. He was working 9:00 to 5:00. Nothing there to skim. And he was smiling. Like a goddamn Buddha. That mother****erǃ I am not a jealous guy, but in that moment, I wanted what Alan had. So I told my bosses I was out of the game They were not happy to hear it. They didn't believe I could do it. I gave it my all. I really did. It was good. You know, it was better than I expected. I might have, uh, overcorrected. But... Sneaky devil. [finds it under a couch] **** kitty cat bracelet. Fun fact: Bone burns to ash at 1,500 degrees, and this basement is designed to double that, so they won't be finding you among the rubble. Deep down, I always knew it was a facade. It lasted a lot longer than I expected. [uses vinyl record to start a fire]

Male detective
[beginning scene with Hutch opening a can of tuna in an interrogation room]

Who the **** are you?

Hutch Mansell

Me? I'm... [Title Card: NOBODY]

Jim the Neighbor
[slams hood of vehicle then notices Hutch]

Hey. Heard you had some excitement last night.

Hutch Mansell

Yeah, it was just, uh...

Jim the Neighbor

Man, I wish they'd have picked my place, you know? [vigorously mimics punching] Could've used the exerciseǃ

Hutch Mansell
[gestures to vehicle]

That's new.

Jim the Neighbor

Pretty cool, huh? Yeah, the old man crooked. He didn't have much to leave, but at least I got something out of it.

Becca Mansell
[to Brady Mansell from vehicle]

Honey, come on. Got to go.

Hutch Mansell

I'm sorry for your loss.

Jim the Neighbor

There's nothing more to mourn, man. Pretty slick, though, huh? The '72 challenger, 4.9-liter v-8. Zero to 60 in... I'm about to find the **** outǃ [gets in vehicle and drives off]

Charlie
[appears in staff room doorway]

So...

Hutch Mansell

Good morning, Charlie.

Charlie

Did I hear right?

Hutch Mansell

Depends who you talked to.

Charlie

Well, your boy called.

Hutch Mansell

Then, yeah, you heard right.

Charlie

Now, he says that you had the drop on one of them. Why didn’t you take ’em out? I mean, shit... it’s child’s play.

Hutch Mansell

I was just trying to keep damage to a minimum.

Charlie

Oh, yeah? How’s that working out for you?

Hutch Mansell

Everybody’s safe, so... [Charlie holds gun to Hutch's head] Jesus!

Charlie

Don’t worry. Safety’s on. [observes] No, wait. Oops. There. [clicks on safety] There. See? Now, there’s nothing that turns out the lights right quick like a **** bullet to the brain, man. [hands over gun] So... take it.

Hutch Mansell

I don’t want it.

Charlie

It ain’t a matter of want, Hutch. It’s the principle of need. So, keep my sister safe, bro.

Eddie Williams

Hey.

Hutch Mansell

Oh, hey. Uh, I take it Becca called you.

Eddie Williams

She did. And I’m thinking you did the best thing you could. I mean, you being you.

Hutch Mansell

Yeah. I got you.

Eddie Williams

Look, let’s talk about you wanting to buy this place. Do you really want to get rid of me and Charlie that bad? Eddie, you’re family. I just want you to enjoy your retirement and Charlie his youth. It’s a fair offer. But not a great one, you know. Look, I built this place up from nothing with my hands. If I’m going to sell it, then I want it to be a... goddamn great offer. You know?

Hutch Mansell

Yeah.

Eddie Williams
[chuckles]

What do you want with this place, anyway?

Hutch Mansell

Guess I just want something that’s mine, you know?

Eddie Williams

I do. Hey, Hutch. I’m rooting for you.

Hutch Mansell
[Following a crash]

I never met a Black Russian before.

[Pinned beneath a vehicle]

Yeah. I get that a lot.

Hutch Mansell

Agent Mansell, FBI. I'm looking for...

Veteran

So old.

Hutch Mansell

What?

Veteran

Your ID is a badge, expired by about 20 years.

Tattoo Shop Owner

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that ain't you in the photo. So... [slams fist on the table] Who are you?

Hutch Mansell
[Holding up a well-filled money clip]

I'm just a man who's looking for someone.

Tattoo Shop Owner

Yeah, well you probably shouldn't flash cheese like that around here, bro.

Hutch Mansell

There are three types of people who as you say, flash cheese: people who don't know any better, people who are seeking to intimidate, and people like me who wish with every fiber of their being that someone would try and take it from them.

Veteran
[Noticing a special tattoo on Hutch's wrist]

Uh, thank you for your service.

Hutch Mansell

You too old timer.

Teddy Kuznetsov

What are you still doing here, old man?

Hutch Mansell

I'm gonna **** you up!

Hutch Mansell

Now on the one hand, there's a long dormant piece of me, now awake, that wants so very badly to play this out. The other, more reasonable piece of me, what's left of it, would like to end our little tete-a-tete right now. What's done is done. After all, we can both rebuild, right?

Right. Mm, wait. Rebuild?

Hutch Mansell

I burned it... all of it.

What all?

Hutch Mansell

Everything you have... had! Everything you had.

My art? [After Hutch tosses his money on the table] Obshak!

Hutch Mansell

You seem so far away. I know that's... it's unfair to put it like that, but... I just... I-I miss you. [Sighs] Remember who we used to be?

Becca Mansell

I do.

Hutch Mansell

I can't believe I let this happen. My beautiful wife, beautiful kids, my home, broken into with a freaking...

Police

Mr. Mansell?

Hutch Mansell

Excuse me?

Police

So, that's how they got in, huh? Using a pizza box?

Hutch Mansell

Yeah.

Police

And the golf club? Did you even take a swing?

Hutch Mansell

She had a, uh...

Blake Mansell

Could've taken her, Dad.

Police

Look, you did the right thing, Mr. Mansell. You know, if that was my family... [chuckles] We're gonna get out of your hair. You just leave that garage door closed, okay?

Hutch Mansell
[to Pavel dying besides an automobile wreck, places hand on Pavel's shoulder]

I've never met a black Russian before.

Yeah. I get that a lot. Who the hell are you?

Hutch Mansell

Nobody. Short story long, um, I used to be what you call an auditor for those three-letter agencies. An auditor, as in, uh... the last guy an organization wants to see at their door. I couldn't arrest anyone, so I used to make sure that there was no one left to... [looks down and realizes Pavel has died] ...shit. [gets up, runs while making a call] Hey, pops. That thing I had to go do, it escalated. Heads up, okay?

Male detective
[ending scene with the reason for Hutch opening a can of tuna is for a siamese kitten ]

Who the **** are you?

Hutch Mansell

Me? Me, I'm... I'm nobody.

Female detective
[turns to colleague]

Mm.

Male detective

That ain't much of an answer.

Hutch Mansell

Trust me, it's answer enough.

Female detective

That's rich.

Male detective
[answers phone]

Yeah.

Female detective
[answers phone]

Yeah, what? [male detective realizes it's his colleague and puts down phone]
