Hardcore Henry Page #2

Synopsis: Hardcore Henry is an action film told from a first person perspective: You remember nothing. Mainly because you've just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry. Five minutes later, you are being shot at, your wife has been kidnapped, and you should probably go get her back. Who's got her? His name's Akan; he's a powerful warlord with an army of mercenaries, and a plan for world domination. You're also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead. Everyone except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy. He may be on your side, but you aren't sure. If you can survive the insanity, and solve the mystery, you might just discover your purpose and the truth behind your identity. Good luck, Henry. You're likely going to need it...

(Slick Dimitry)

You're half machine, half p*ssy.

(Voices in Russian)

Wait, wait. I can tell you

something very important,

about the man who sent you here.

(Gun shot)

(Panicked screaming)

(Gun shot)

(Gun shots)

(Cell phone rings)

Oi, Henry. I'm at this

high-class establishment.

Follow the dot and then

just knock on the knocker.

Get it?

Knock on the knocker!

(Speaks in Russian)

(Car noises)

(Man) Hi.

I'm a f***ing car, baby.

Lexus convertible!

(Jimmy) Oh, that's good.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, God, that's amazing.

Yeah!

Fellow, you're late!

You're late!

(Turns music off)

The last 15 minutes have been

a f***ing rollercoaster

of emotions for me, mate.

I didn't know if I was

ever gonna see you again.

So I fired up some of this sh*t.

Fire up my f***ing nose, yeah?

(Garbled) But there you are.

It's okay, Henry. You just

lost power. Come on. Hey, there!

Bring me some of that

strong Russian sh*t, ladies.

Okay, now where's

that booster pump?

Where is it? Did you get it?

Did you get the f***ing...

Yeah! F***ing hell.

This is it.

This is it, yeah?

Okay, hang on.

Okay, hold this, lady.

Sh*t.

Okay, I gotta get this

little f***er in there.

Who am I kidding?

I'm in no condition to do this.

I'm sorry. I'm in no

condition to do this, mate.

I'm in no condition.

I'm sorry.

I'm in no condition to do this.

(Zipper)

(Door opens)

(Jimmy) Oh, goodness.

Oh, goodness,

what have you done?

What have you done

this time, Jimmy?

Are you still conscious?

Yeah. Hello.

You're gonna be okay.

Just gotta get a little

bit of power into you.

Ladies, could you give us

a bit of space, please?

Thank you.

You're a big deal, you know?

You're not the only

one wronged by Akan.

You and I both want

the same thing.

This might hurt a bit.

There we go.

That's wonderful.

Now I can take you

back to my lab.

I'm Jimmy, by the way.

I realize this is all

very confusing for you.

Um, but...

but it's better if I show

you at the lab, yes...

(Phone rings)

Hello?

Oh, spasiba.

They're here.

They must've followed you.

I can't...

I can't let them

see me like this.

I can't let...

I'm sorry. I...

I can't stay here, Henry.

I'm sorry.

(Door closes)

Ah, sh*t.

(Snorts)

F*** yeah! Ha ha!

F*** yeah, Akan's

boys are here.

I'm gonna hold them off, yeah?

I'm gonna hold them off, yeah?

More guns for you

in the drawer, yeah?

Whoo!

This is f***ing war, baby, yeah!

Whoo!

Oh, f*** yeah!

Hi, ladies.

(Gun shots, screaming)

(Gun shots)

I f***ing had that!

Go, go, go!

The floor is f***ing lava!

I'm gonna burn it!

Oh, Olga, Katya!

(Gun shots)

(Man) Oh, please, please!

Please don't hurt me.

I've got a family.

(Akan) Is that your wife?

Um, uh...

(Screams)

Don't mind her, Henry.

She's mourning her late husband.

I wasn't betting on

seeing you again.

Your persistence

is unparalleled.

And quite exciting.

Slick Dimitry's

services were excellent.

I'm just glad I

never paid upfront.

I'll tell Estelle you did well.

(Jimmy) Akan! Akan, open this

f***ing door, do you hear me?

I got her all dolled up in the

back of my truck downstairs.

(Jimmy) I'm gonna rip

your f***ing lungs out!

(Akan) You'll go far, Henry,

unlike this piece of sh*t.

(Crack)

(Gun shots, squealing tires)

Hey, Henry.

Put your gun down.

It's all good.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Peaceful, peaceful.

Chill out.

Calm down.

Now I've shared

something with you.

I need you to share

something with me.

Where's Akan going?

Ah, sh*t.

(Gun shots)

(Loud moaning)

Now that is my ego

talking to yours.

What do you want...

higher self, ego?

Higher self, ego?

(Man) Higher self!

Higher self.

Yeah. Okay.

Akan's convoy are

taking the girl to his base.

(Gun shot)

Oh, sh*t. Let me handle this.

Let me handle this.

I'm sorry you're upset, okay?

Henry and I are

gonna go deal with Akan.

Henry? Who is Henry?

You wanna go on a the bike?

You can go on a the bike.

Just... just...

yeah, you wanna go?

Yeah, yeah, go on your bike.

F***ing hell.

Sometimes it's easier

just to say yes.

(Starts bike)

(Gun shots)

Henry, catch!

(Mortar)

God, I thought I lost

you forever, Henry.

I was so scared.

I was so scared when you fell.

I thought I would

never see you again.

I love you, Henry.

I love you.

Mm wah. How sweet.

If I took this moment

and put it in a cup of tea,

I wouldn't need sugar.

Yuri, pozhaluysta.

(Explosion)

(Akan) Each year, 100,000

baseball bats are sold in Russia

and, at most, 50 baseballs.

Gives you an idea of a

great Russian pastime.

This is a rare surviving bat.

Estelle.

Would you please be

so kind and stand up?

Or do you want to

take her place?

Estelle, your boy's

quite the white knight,

sacrificing himself to keep

you alive only for my dick...

To kill you later.

Are you sure, Henry?

Are you sure?

Brilliant!

Uh, come over here, Henry.

Come on, come on, come on,

come on, come on, Henry.

You...

...little...

...p*ssy.

(Voices in Russian)

(Gun shots)

Give peace a chance, brothers.

My ego wants to kill you

But my higher self doesn't.

(Gun shots)

Jesus, baby.

I was talking to that man.

Look at this.

Dude's got a memory blocker.

Well, that's about all

I can do for you, mate.

Time for a reboot.

See you in about 15

minutes, hopefully.

Hey.

He's awake.

Your eyes might be a bit blurry.

It's just your depth perception

trying to calibrate, yeah?

Follow me as I walk, yeah?

Get up.

Okay.

All right.

Now, can you focus

on me over here?

(Woman) Yeah?

- Burying you.

It's like burying treasure.

I really don't understand what

Akan is thinking because...

(Explosion)

(Explosion)

Aarghh!!

(Gun shots)

(Cell phone rings)

Henry, stop dicking around.

You're almost there, mate.

Here's where you gotta get to.

Chop Chop.

(Horse snorting)

(Horse neiging)

Shh. It's me, Jimmy.

Move.

Oh, sh*t.

Those pigs are here again.

(Woman wailing)

Psst!

Don't compromise my lab.

Let them leave.

Henry, no.

I'm instructing... sh*t.

(Speaks Russian)

(Scrunch)

(Man screaming)

(Baton sinks. Man silenced)

(Man speaks Russian)

(Gun shot)

Good job, Charlie Bronson.

Bravo 2-0.

Lights up.

Play video.

(Akan) Dawn of Twilight...

a cyborg era.

Thank you, sir. I've lobotomized

everything not essential...

(Cork pops)

not essential to soldiers.

Personal memories,

speech, sense of taste...

it's all gone.

May still have a bit of

an issue with emotional

motivation, which...

Motivation? Try your

f***ing paycheck, James.

My paych...

yes, okay.

What the sh*t f***, James?

I'm sorry, sir!

I'm so sorry! Oh, sh*t!

Open the doors! Please!

Open the door!

We've got a malfunction! Let me

out, please! Uh, I'll fix it.

I doubt it.

F***ing idiot.

You know, Jimmy, something

about a spine snapping...

(Snap)

it never gets old.

It sounds like...

- The end, the beginning.

Or are they the same?

Have a seat, Henry.

When a man is first crippled,

there's always one question on

everyone's mind,
