Serena and the Ratts Page #2

---

Radio name?

The Black Coats.

Oh.

I'll be back later.

Wait.

Take this.

So you're telling me

we have to kill

Adolf Hitler?

No. We have to stop the man

that's gonna kill him.

How do we even know

that's possible?

Boss says it is,

and I don't think

it even matters.

A mark is a mark.

Let's say he could

travel back in time.

How would he possibly

get past the S.S.?

[ sighs ]

Get to him before

there were any.

[ Leonard sighs ]

I told you we

didn't have to do this.

I told you that you

didn't owe Boss anything.

[ sniffling ]

I know your grandfather

was in the war,

but we can't let

these guys do this.

Serena,

if things didn't go

exactly the way

they did, this could

be a far worse world

than we're living in

right now.

If Hitler

never happened,

then somebody else

would have done

the same thing...

somebody

more successful.

If we don't

go down there--

Give me my gun back.

We're going

on recon tomorrow.

Boss said The Black Coats

are having a meeting

at a warehouse

outside of town.

[ Leonard coughs ]

Is that all?

For sh*t's sake,

don't you knock?

[ clears throat ]

What happened

to all the grenades?

We used them.

Wow.

What do we need

grenades for, anyway?

I thought

this was recon.

It is recon,

but you never know

what could happen.

I know what's

gonna happen.

We're gonna sit

in a car all day,

or we're gonna sit

in a dumpster all day,

or we're gonna sit

on a f***ing toilet

all day,

and we're not gonna...

reconnaisize anything.

[ scoffs ]

"Reconnaisize"?

Shut up.

I'll take the M4.

You take the vest.

No, you take the vest.

It doesn't fit me,

anyway.

No way.

Why not?

'Cause I'm not taking

the rifle and the vest.

It's unfair.

Besides, you're a girl.

You take the vest.

I don't want it.

[ engine stops ]

Who's this guy?

That's the triggerman

Houlden hired.

He doesn't look so tough.

I've got a clear shot.

I'll wait 30 seconds.

I'll pull the car around.

HOULDEN:
He will

take the shot

in half a minute.

Sounds exciting.

Don't worry.

I'm sure this will work.

Do I sound worried to you?

Do you think I'm

going to Wallace

all over

my brand-new shiny shoes?

No, not at all,

actually.

Listen, you've got

20 seconds.

15, 14, 13,

12, 11, 10,

9, 8, 7,

6, 5, 4...

3...

2...

HOULDEN:
Duck.

[ gun fires ]

F***ing hell,

you were right.

Of course.

How else would I have known

they were going to shoot you

at exactly that second?

Last time, you got shot.

We couldn't let that

happen again.

[ c*cks gun ]

[ explosion ]

[ explosions ]

Can't believe it.

I had him. He dropped

right as I pulled the trigger.

I had him.

He knew everything

we were going to do.

How?

I don't know.

I mean, even if they

knew where we were...

he dropped

right as I pulled

the trigger.

That's impossible.

Unless...

Unless what?

Unless we

already shot him.

Already shot him? What?

Maybe...

we already killed him.

What are you

talking about?

You missed.

I didn't miss

the first time.

You can't be serious.

I shot him.

They undid it.

They undid it?

Yeah, they figured out

where we were, when we shot...

everything.

They went back in time.

Then they made sure

we failed.

But this isn't the past.

It's the present.

Only to us.

If that's what happened,

how are we

going to stop them

if they undo

every attack we make?

We have to call the RATTS.

MAN ON TV:

It came at a bad time.

Only his behavior

after this murder

gave him away.

[ dramatic music playing ]

[ motorcycle revving ]

Ah, come on.

This is crap.

Are you serious?

This movie's

awesome.

The shootouts

are amazing.

Uh, no.

This is so unrealistic.

Come on. Who takes out

50 guys by himself

without breaking

a f***ing fingernail?

[ spits ]

I do.

Yeah, right.

You'd go crying home

to your mommy.

Yeah, would I?

[ chuckles ]

"Mommy, Mommy,

I got a hangnail,

and I can't kill

the bad men."

[ laughs ]

Cut it out.

[ laughs ]

[ movie soundtrack,

gunfire continue ]

What's the matter

with you?

I'm tired.

I'm tired

of hearing that.

Really,

what's up?

I don't know.

I guess I'm still

kinda freaked out

by all this

time-travel stuff.

Yeah?

I mean...

what if all this

has already happened?

What if it's

always happening?

What if it keeps happening

over and over again?

How do you mean?

You know vinyl, records?

Like L.P.s?

Yeah.

What if time is

like a record?

If life just plays out,

like a needle

passes over it...

it seems like it's

going somewhere, but...

it actually all exists

at the same time...

the past, the present,

the future.

It's just the needle

that changes.

What if it's

the same thing

being played

over and over again...

the same songs...

they never change?

[ sighs ]

Why does that

bother you?

Just don't like the idea

of living the same life

over and over again.

Not this one, anyway.

[ sighs ]

I think I know

what you mean.

Remind yourself of what

this is all about.

These bastards

may destroy the world

as we know it

if they pull off

time travel.

It may not seem like

a bad idea to them,

but we don't know what

kind of repercussions

that could have.

We have to silence

everyone with knowledge

about this

time-travel project.

Boss has Serena and

Leonard coordinating

their attack

at the same time

as ours.

Any questions?

Cyrus?

Who's

the first target?

Michael Roberts,

physics expert.

He started the project

with Houlden about

six years ago.

Where is he?

He's about five feet

from the right

of this van.

Close it!

I've got some bad news.

What's that?

The RATTS

took out Roberts.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

So you know, do you?

Yes, they are

going to take out

the whole team

today.

Haven't we

got to stop 'em?

No. Uh,

we're gonna let them

go ahead with it

up until a point,

that is.

What point would that be?

When they get to me.

So we're just going

to let those boy scouts go?

Yes. It's all part

of the plan.

Eddie!

Boss.

Tarlowski, heel.

So this is Tarlowski?

You recommended him.

Yeah, but I never

met the guy.

I only heard

the stories,

Polack with

the fake accent.

Oi, I grew up

in London.

You wouldn't shoot

a fellow Polack,

would you?

You said

he was the best.

Yeah, how's that

holding up?

We'll see soon enough.

How's the attack coming?

Oh, that's right,

the RATTS.

I got them and Serena

and Leonard going after

your scientist friends,

The Black Coats.

They're not my friends.

No, I suppose

it isn't very friendly

to order

their assassination.

I trust you told them

to hit me last, correct?

Hey, where's

the time machine?

It's over there.

[ chuckles ]

Golly.

That's a piece

of work.

Impressive,

isn't it?

It sure is.

What the hell is Boss

doing with our target?

I don't know,

but we weren't

supposed to see it.

How do you know?

We were supposed to wait

until the attack today.

What do you think?

I think this was a setup.

I don't like the guy,

but I don't think

he would set us up.
