The Tournament Page #4

Heh:

She killed your wife:

You're a liar:

Am l?

I think I'll have that drink now:

That's the spirit:

Toast the new champion:

I think we're done here:

Aah!

[screaming]

[beeping]

[beeps]

- [soft music playing]

- [engine starts]

Every time

We say goodbye

I die a little

Every time we say goodbye

I wonder why a little

Why the gods above me

Who must be in the know

Think so little of me

They allow you to go?

When you're near

There's such an air

of spring about it

I can hear a lark somewhere

Begin to sing about it

There's no love song finer

But how strange the change

From major to minor

Every time we say goodbye

[gasps]

You okay?

oh, no:

For a minute there

I thought it was

all just a bad dream:

You'll be okay:

- [door thuds]

- oh:

[groans]

oh, please:

Please, God,

help me through this:

Please give me

some strength because--

- because I need a drink!

- [thuds]

[gasps]

[door opens, closes]

Sorry, I was--

[gasps]

Bless me, Father, I have sinned:

Aah!

Stakes are high,

ladies and gentlemen,

a favorite will fall:

[hard rock playing

on headphones]

[shouting]

[hard rock continuing]

You're lucky I got to you

before Joshua did:

He's pretty pissed you killed his wife:

[groaning]

no, no:

- [grunts]

- Wait, wait:

Please, please stop:

[whimpers]

Man:

Finish the f***er!

[crowd jeering]

You:
::

Don't do it!

Please!

I'm sorry:

[whimpering]

Don't do it:

Don't do it:

[microwave bell rings]

Miles:

Don't:
::

I'm sorry:

[Miles sobbing]

[crowd jeering,

laughing]

Man:

Pull the f***ing trigger!

Man on radio:

Let's get as close as we can.

[phone ringing]

Keep him locked.

We gotta wait.

He said what?

It's the right thing:

[electronic beeping]

[whimpering]

What is it?

What is it?

[beeping faster]

No!

What is it?

Aah!

[telephone rings]

[ringing continues]

[ringing]

Hello?

Mill's service station:

It's, um--

it's for you:

Hello?

Father Macavoy,

we haven't met,

but I feel I know you intimately:

So you're the sick f***er

that's running all this, are ya?

Such profanity

from a man of the cloth:

[crowd chuckles]

now I suggest you listen to me

very, very carefully:

Since you deemed it

necessary to interrupt

what could have been

a spectacular kill,

I feel I should clarify the rules a little.

There's a time limit

you really should take note of.

Time limit?

What are you talking about?

It's very simple.

You need to start killing

if you want to stay alive.

I'm not going to kill anyone:

We shall wait and see:

It will be your faith

against your desire to live:

That device inside you

is so much more than a tracker,

as you've just witnessed:

There's only four hours

left of the game, Father.

If there's more than

one player still alive

when the clock hits zero,

everyone will meet

the same fate

as your American friend.

So let's see if you have any real guts:

It's kill or be killed:

Four hours, Father,

and the clock is ticking:

[laughing]

[dial tone]

Thank you:

[laughs]

Well, that's perfect:

Hamilton:
Let's bring a replay

of that up on one:

Hamilton:
Let's bring a replay

of that up on one:

Rob:
Jesus:

We have to do that to all of them

if the time runs out?

no, it takes them out automatically:

What's the priest doing?

If the sat imagery is correct,

he is trying to sort his sh*t out:

Lai Lai:

Anything yet?

Macavoy:

nothing's happening: I'm too tense:

It's got to come out

one end or the other:

[sighs]

Can you not wait outside?

I'm staying put:

now concentrate:

You're putting me off:

Can you whistle or something?

okay, who's Joshua's wife?

It doesn't matter:

okay:

I thought the way you reacted

when you heard--

Will you just leave it alone?

Bit of a confession

in here, really, eh?

Confession can be incredibly hard:

It's painful to admit our sins

and trust ourselves in God's care:

But it helps:

It helps:
::

sometimes:

Why don't you tell me

why you're here?

Hmm?

What's it got to do

with Joshua's wife?

The last thing you see

in a target's eyes:::

is understanding:

Somewhere,

deep inside of them,

they've been expecting it:

Mary Harlow didn't have that look:

She just stared at me,

Iike you did this morning--

petrified, scared:::

bewildered:

I saw in her eyes

that something was wrong:

Please!

My instincts told me to stop:

Please!

But I pulled the trigger anyway:

[Lai Lai crying]

I didn't know it until afterwards,

but she was pregnant:

It's haunted me ever since:

That's why I have

to win this tournament:::

so I can get enough

money to vanish:

And if I don't win:::

then I get what's coming:

okay, Miss Hunter,

the final few players

seem to be converging

on the motorway:

We got Harlow on the move,

we're tracking Bogart nearby,

and the long shot, Topuzov,

is closing in fast:

Lai Lai Zhen and the priest

are sitting ducks:

[door opens]

We have to get out of here now:

- I haven't--

- Now:

okay:

Sh*t:

Quick, get to the car:

Sh*t:

[horn honks]

oh, sh*t:

[passengers shouting]

[car crashing]

Come on!

What's going on?

- I'm taking your bus:

- What?

I'm taking your bus:

Drive:

- I can't drive a bus:

- Learn fast!

F***:

Bus driver:

What about the passengers?

Everybody down!

[horns honking]

[passengers scream]

Joshua:

Come on!

Lai Lai!

F***:

Rob:

They're coming up on the Frenchman:

How is he gonna get in on the action?

Lai Lai!

Come and see this:

I'm a little busy now:

Can you handle it?

[grunts]

Macavoy:

It's more in your department, really!

[woman screams]

Hamilton:

Jeez, they're going way too fast:

They're out of control:

[bell rings]

[shutter clicks]

That guy's got a ticket:

Maybe not:

Holy sh*t:

Lai Lai's taking a beating:

[grunting]

open the door!

[gasping]

Lai Lai!

Lai Lai, what are we gonna do?

Drive!

[muttering]

[guns clicking]

[passengers murmuring]

What have I done?

You saved me:

I'm gonna be sick:

[vomits]

[electronic whirring]

[whirring stops]

Sh*t:

okay, that is confirmed, sir:

Bogart is down and the priest

has officially left the game:

What about Joshua?

[Lai Lai coughs]

Father:
::

what are you doing still here?

I cannot protect you anymore:

Please go:

I don't wanna go:

Why not?

You didn't abandon me,

so I'm not going

to abandon you, yes?

We should go:

Come on:

only five minutes remaining,

ladies and gentlemen:

Let me remind you,

if we don't have a winner

when the time runs out,

we will pay out on the current favorite,

Joshua Harlow:

[wings flapping,

pigeons cooing]

Lai Lai:

No cameras:

They cannot see us in here:

What did you say?

There are no cameras in there:

- What about satellite?

- They're indoors:

Did I speak to you?

There are 30 people in there

who paid $10 million:

We're in the final few minutes:

I want everything and anything

pointed at that f***ing church!

Wow, that really helps:

[alarm beeping]

okay, okay:

If we can't show what,

we can at least show where:

Rob:

We'll give 'em something to watch:
