The Killing Machine Page #2

I think he's full of sh*t.

Everyone in investments

is full of sh*t.

They're f***ing up the world.

He was asking

too many questions.

I didn't like what he was implying.

Which was what?

That he knew who I was.

Yeah, I'll run it by some

old friends at the agency.

I'll see what I can do.

Now I don't understand

why you don't just quit your day job

and face the facts.

You are what you are.

There's no escaping it.

One day.

Hmm. Dream a little dream, huh?

Don't stand too close,

Mr. Family Man.

Remember what the myth

says about lcarus.

Hi, honey.

Hi, Taylor.

How about a hug?

I love you, Mommy.

- Go on in.

-Taylor.

Hey.

What did I do now?

You missed her school play.

Well, I've been traveling a lot lately,

you know.

Yeah, that was the problem

all the excuses.

So, um...

...is she staying?

She's supposed to.

This was my weekend to go away.

Or did you forget that, too?

No no, l

I didn't forget.

Golfing, right?

- With that new guy?

- Yeah, that weekend.

- So is he in the car?

- No.

Does he know about me?

Of course he does.

So...

do you like him?

Do you like April?

She's okay.

I gotta go.

This is the place

where we're staying.

The number

for the nanny is on the bottom

in case you run into any problems.

I'll call and check in later, okay?

Don't worry.

We'll have a good time.

And don't spoil her with treats.

Make sure she eats

lots of vegetables.

Hey.

You're looking good, Joey.

You look tired.

April's gonna make you

pancakes for breakfast

and I'll be home for dinner.

I know you're mad at me.

I'm mad at myself.

I shouldn't have missed

your school play.

I'm sorry.

Mom said you were real good.

I bet you were

the best tree on stage.

I was the only tree.

You wanna show me what you did?

I don't like it here.

I want to go back

to your house.

I'm sorry.

It's only for one night.

You've gotta be nice

to April while I'm gone.

She'll never replace Mom,

but you gotta do what she says.

I don't want you to go.

I've gotta work.

I'll come back real soon.

Mommy says you work too much

and that's why we don't live with you.

Well, she's probably right.

Are you ever gonna stop working

and come home, Daddy?

- It's not up to me.

Eddie.

Okay.

Okay, good night.

Okay.

In the last two weeks,

I've seen you twice.

Now I'm stuck looking

after some kid that's not mine

while you get to jet off to Miami.

It's not fair.

I'll make it up to you.

That's all I ever hear from you.

- I will.

I'm sorry.

Hold on.

Taylor made you this.

Have a good trip, Eddie.

You can only tell

the same lie so many times

before it gets stale.

April sensed it was false.

Women have a sixth sense

about the truth.

I was just in another relationship

that was drying up.

History has a way

of repeating itself,

no matter how many times

I try to prevent it.

Hi, it's me.

Hey, how was your trip?

Fine. Is Taylor okay?

Yeah, she's great.

She just went to bed.

Did she act funny?

She was difficult at dinner,

wasn't she?

Well, maybe a little.

You have to spend

more time with her, okay?

- I know.

Where are you?

I'm just - just getting

some stuff for breakfast.

Where's Taylor?

She's with April.

Oh.

I gotta go, so

I just wanted to make sure

that Taylor was okay. Bye.

Bye.

Who sent you? Tell me!

Hello.

- Get out of the apartment.

- What are you talking about?

- Open the door! Police!

-You have to listen to me.

- What's going on?

- Why are the police here?

- Listen, grab Taylor

- and get out of the apartment.

- Why?

No! No!

No! No!

Manuela, Manuela!

- Mr. Genn.

- Where is she?

- Oh, sleeping.

- All right.

April said that you wanted me

to take care of her.

I love you, Daddy.

I love you, too.

Gonna go on a big adventure, okay?

- What happened to your face?

- I fell down.

Get your coat and shoes.

Right now. Go.

- Come on.

Wait here.

- Come on, quickly.

- Let's go.

- Okay.

Daddy!

Come on.

- Daddy!

- Let's go.

Where are we going?

- Are you okay, Taylor?

- Yeah, but I'm scared.

- Manuela.

- What's happening, Mr. Genn?

- No, I can't, Mr. Genn.

- We don't have time. Let's go.

- Maybe - maybe - maybe I hide.

Daddy!

- Get inside.

- Dad, what are you doing?

Dad, what are you doing?

- I forgot my keys.

- But this isn't our car.

I just bought it.

Put your seat belt on.

One bad decision, one bad choice.

That's all it takes

to go from being the hit man...

to being the hit.

Excuse us.

Jesus, Eddie, what happened?

I need to go underground.

Someone has

a contract out on me.

They tried to kill my family.

- Where's Joey?

- Out of town.

Taylor's outside with me.

Your girlfriend?

Oh f***.

This could affect both of us.

My cover is blown.

I need your help.

Yeah.

I'll get Taylor to the farm,

try and work

some business from my end.

- Lou.

- I need transport and a phone.

Done, okay.

Daddy!

Look, I'm going to get Mommy,

okay, sweetie?

This nice lady's

gonna take you to her farm.

- I don't wanna go.

- I know, honey. I'm sorry.

I'll be there with Mommy soon.

Daddy, please don't let me go.

I never will.

You gotta do me a favor, okay?

You go with Manuela.

I'll go get Mom.

We can all be together, okay?

Yeah, I promise

you're gonna like it.

Miss Kerr, she's got a big farm

with a barn

and lots of animals.

I'm going to get Mommy

and bring her to you, right?

But you gotta be a good girl

and do what Manuela says.

Can you do that?

Yeah, hmm?

- Yeah.

- Okay, Manuela.

You sit tight,

and I'll be there very soon.

- My friend will take care of you.

- Si, Seor Genn.

- Okay?

- Don't worry, Taylor.

- I'll take care of you.

- I love you very much, okay?

- Yeah?

- I love you, Daddy.

Be extra nice to her.

She'll be safe.

She'd better.

- There you go.

- How about you guys? Two more?

- Yeah yeah.

- F***!

-The bar's closed.

He's right. Bar's closed.

Get out. Out out out! Get out!

You heard her.

Who set me up?

I don't know what

you're talking about. I swear.

Hey, what's all this about setting

- The job was bogus.

- Nyet. Nyet. That's impossible!

It came through the proper channels.

I did nothing wrong.

Who issued the order?

Give me a name and a number.

- Who issued the order?

- You know I can't give you that.

His name is Turk. Turk!

His name and number are

in my jacket.

You didn't get it from me, okay?

You two only meet when there's a job.

How come you're here?

- I got the call.

- What, you didn't ask for me?

- Joey, I gotta talk to you.

- Get up!

- That sounds like your ex-husband.

Eddie?

Oh my God. What happened?

- Where's Taylor?

- You're bleeding

- Don't worry about it.

What happened?

Where's Taylor?

You have a gun.

You know what?

I'm just gonna - I'm gonna call

- Don't.

- Whoa.

- Put that down.

- All right, all right.

- Where's Taylor? What happened?

- I've gotta get you two out of here.

I'm not going anywhere with you

until you tell me where Taylor is.

- She's safe.

- "Safe"?
