The Tournament Page #5

---

You have to get to a hospital:

I want you to pray with me:

of course:

You said your prayers?

I hope you said goodbye:

Please, this is God's house:

no killing in God's house:

God?

Why, Lai Lai?

Did someone send you,

or was it personal?

- Just kill me:

- no, no, no:

Get it over with:

Why?

Why'd you come after me?

Why'd you come after me?

I didn't come after you:

What?

I wasn't there for you:

I was there for her:

The contract was on your wife:

Why?

Why would anyone

want to kill Mary? Why?

I don't know why:

We never know why:

Please, please:

Joshua, please:

She's not to blame:

She's not to blame for any of this:

She's a device, like a tool:

- She didn't want to kill your wife:

- no, shut up!

- She didn't want to kill--

- Shut up!

[beeping]

Joshua:

Mary was my life:

Mary was my life!

Who hired you?

She was your life:

She was your life:

Don't dishonor her now with death:

Who hired you?

- You're dishonoring her with death!

- Shut up!

Who hired you?

You know who hired me:

Joshua, what would Mary do?

What would Mary have you do?

[electronic beeping]

[alarm blaring]

[grunts]

[cheering]

We have a winner:

[cheers and applause]

Host:

Ladies and gentlemen,

I want to present to you

the two-time winner

of the Tournament:

Please be upstanding

for the greatest assassin

of our time!

[grunts]

[crowd gasps]

Joshua:

I know everything:

Why?

What?

I put on a good show, didn't l?

You can keep all this money that I won,

if you just tell me

why you murdered my wife:

You're delirious, Joshua:

I'm dying, but you're sweating:

now why is that?

What's the matter,

you afraid to admit it?

Come on:

Come on, we're all killers here!

You need a doctor:

You're being absurd:

Why? Why did you murder my wife?

or are you too f***ing gutless?

Why?

Because it was necessary:

You didn't want to come

back to the Tournament:

I wasn't going to accept that:

You're the reigning champion:

Look at you, Joshua!

You're a warrior, gladiator:

Men like you don't die

in your beds,

they fall on the field:

They give the crowd

a glorious death:

Why?

Why?

Because if I'd have just asked:::

you'd have said no:

You needed

a little motivation--

pressure:
::

on that little

chink in the armor:

Close your eyes:

You and your wife

will be together soon:

Mary:

I love you, baby:

Host:

Joshua, wait! Wait!

Joshua!

Joshua!

[beeping]

We'll see her together:

Jesus, he took her tracker out:

[grunting]

[alarm blaring]

[screaming,

shouting]

override:

It's gonna blow:

[beeping fast]

So, uh, I'm going to go home:

Yeah, me too:

[sirens blaring]

newscaster:

Terror stepped up a notch today.

Bombs are believed to have gone off

in both a city center church

and a popular strip bar on the outskirts...

our little town has been tested,

played witness to events

beyond comprehension,

besieged by darkness:

newscaster #2:

...many major road accidents,

the worst of which

a mile-long motorway pileup.

Macavoy:

And yet, here we are again,

our spirits renewed:::

reborn:

newscaster #3:

...the debilitating lack

of any CCTV footage...

newscaster #4:

...to increase surveillance

to blanket proportions.

Macavoy:

I'm reminded of the words

of the American writer

Robert nathan

when he said,

"We must give thanks to the sorrow

"that shows us pity,

"to the pain

that teaches us courage,

"and to the mystery

which is a mystery still:"

Let us pray:
