I hope you don't mind I do have a very good reason for why we're not in my office. I did wonder about that. As you can imagine we received quite a few applications for the position of head of security there'd there are a lot of people looking for work right now. And your experience skills are quite impressive thank you. unfortunately your drug test was dirty and that's a big problem for my HR department an insurance company I I could retake the test in a couple of days. Given the circumstances you can no longer be considered for the position insurance has zero tolerance policy considering these matters. okay. I'm interested in hiring you for another position altogether. Under the radar. that is a photo of Andrew Warner included his scheduled his daily routine his other personal informations is there something wrong? Iis he missing? Did you need me to find him for you? No Chris I don't want you to play detective. I want you to kill him. that's a little far off from the security position don't you think? This is not what I'm hiring you for. This job description is more in line with your qualifications. that may be true things are different for me now as a civilian. You're not a civilian Chris. Just because the states you're at it doesn't make any difference I also happen to know how long it takes to CVH to set the benefits You've been out of your car for months now Why do you want him dead? It's personal. so is killing someone. Fair enough. Andrew Warner and my brother were lovers. When Tyler was killed in Afghanistan he left everything to Andrew including 51 percent on my company stocks and assets he controls majority stock option preventing me from my company the way I see fit. So it's about money. But why kill him? It's simple you help me get Andrew out of the way his inheritance reverts back to me it's about survival Chris I have an apartment ready for you A couple of cash in your pocket just a quick pep rally is about a 10 points nothing special get a hush hour and this for once. All things stocked and ready for you think I need a day or two Saying I consider it. Let's talk about the money 50,000 cash obviously and a place to rest your head until it's done. How long do I have? A week. And Chris. This stays between you and me or I find some very creative ways of making you pay for it Come on you look fine. Kendra you look perfect to me.

Girl we both know you know how to shop I so did not I just wanna make sure that I look good for tonight mixer me you should try it sometime you said yourself that it's time to move on and I know for a fact that there are dozens of men maxims every night of the week okay maybe this is true. But I'm really just not into the whole organized mating ritual thing. thing I know the right guys out there for you somewhere. I'm sure he is but one he's not likely to show up in these things and two I know for a fact those things are like all for their toys for being full of drama and baggage And I don't need that in my life. That's so not true. I did most of those guys and I know for a fact yeah you really exactly Alright, I got your point. Thank you. Good I guess I just think that when I meet Mr. right I'll know don't be gay it's almost been two years. Go jogging. Hey what's this?

The area wonder if the trail is long enough for me though. I'm Andrew. Chris. So I haven't seen you around her before. I just moved in. Where from? I was in military. Around the world Guess I should 've known from the routine. Anyway,man I'll see you around Yep Dude, where the fuck you've been? Geez, sorry I been late. Yeah you're late. I can't wait around all day until you gets here. Shhh Did you hear that? Wait. Did you called the cops? If you called the cops you have to, you have to tell me Chill. Who are you?

Meanwhile I'll be able to deny or claim that sweet time I prevail I'm woman of action As you've seen here. Okay you wanna talk business Let's talk about the money. Considering what you have to gain And what I have to lose. I think we both benefit from you pay me half a million dollars For this little accident you would like to facilitate. It's out of the question. Yeah? How do you think you stock is gonna feel If they knew about your litttle plan? That's blackmail. That's good business. Half million of possibilities.

And this is my number in case you need anything at all. Thanks for the ride. No problem Stay out of trouble. I see you tomorrow. Hey Andrew. I was just thinking about you well that's good to hear. You driving? No I'm just about to leave the mechanic now. the battery? Nope. Cut cables. Really? So when the Triple A came out to give me a jump sparkles flew everywhere. That's crazy. Anyway The reason why I was calling is to see if you want to have lunch tomorrow lunch? Yeah I figured if I you'd carry it uphill you know since you're trained for that. I was not trained to carry sandwiches up the hill. Are you kidding? I'm a better cook than that. That's good to know. Anyway, I guess I'll see you tomorrow morning Goodnight The shore is beautiful You never been up here before? No. I just got into town, remember? Yeah, that's right Home is where again? Wisconsin Ah cheese and cold winters I don't really miss the winters the cheese was good though It doesn't get very cold in atlanta Is there where you're from? yeah can't you tell by the accent? No I don't have an accent. Dropped it when I moved to Los Angeles. How much further? Not far Where are you taking me? This is a surprise, obviously. You should wear hiking boots. I'm not as hardcore as you mister G.I. Joe. Don't say I didn't warn you You're alright? Yeah, nice grip Told you should wear hiking in boots Wow Pretty much sums it all up, right? On a clear day you can see all the way out to the ocean from here Still nice though. It's peaceful. I love it up here. I feel really closer to Tyler when I'm here. So you hungry? I could eat. See hiking makes you hungrier Yeah I guess it does. But I need to find the latrine first. So I'll be back. I'll set up. Grab a seat Get the lunch What's up with that? Sorry. It's bad habit to break Always at work Guess you were in the military for a while Yeah asserting that can stand in the record So how was your job? In the military? Yeah in the military. Most of what I did is still listed as classified So you can't tell me Cause if I tell you you would have to kill me Yeah I'm sure I heard that before Do you need to get that? No So I hope you don't mind me talking about Tyler You're the first military person I've met then. You know Kind awkward a bit. It's fine You know when he first deployed I got the worst feeling He told me not to worry and we know how that worked out, right? Sounds like someone really gets a hold on you. You sure you're not married or something? No. Not me. I told you it's not important How do you know? Because you're here. Good answer See anything? yeah I see a sunbird where? No.. it's just a golden retriever Ow, fuck. You okay? you're alright? Maybe hurt your ankle? does it hurt? You sure wish you were with that hiking boots,uh? Knew you would say that Don't worry I'm not that heavy. Put that. So for keep jumping off rocks Too tight? You can have the ice package Set on the outside it works pretty against the skin I guess you're pretty good with the whole first aid thing Don't had a choice. Forget to hold on for a minute sorry. Don't be Don't be sorry this isn't gonna work here. How about the beach? What you say the beach tonight? Yeah I say beach tonight. Just seat tight I gonna put some stuff together Okay Just slide to the back. Careful. Be careful. Stir your leg this way. Yeah walk on soft sand on a twisted ankle is not highly recommended And that's the beer talking. Probably. Can I get you guys anything else? I... another round? I'm not driving. Is that a yes or..? Yes. No So how do you met Tyler? Blind date. He was way out of my league. Really? Yeah My friends got sick of me constantly picking the wrong type And they chose one for me. Collect and fix... I love the bad and the broken Cheers to the bad guys uh I uh I didn't mean it had to be refreshing on you Too late. Here's your check. Take out whenever you're ready. And by the way the two of you adorable Anyway I think I broke that track record with Tyler. Practically perfect For three years I miss this guy I get nostalgic about twisted ankles and bad boys you know what I mean Will we get out of here? I have a headache Me too. Thank you gentlemen So are we enjoying the beach tonight. Aren't Chris? For some reason I don't think you're there alone What are you looking for? Can't find my pills for anxiety. I have PTSD They were fucking here Let me try something Fuck off me Come, let me try something. Come. Come and sit down This isn't gonna work. Don't be so negative. Just give it a shot How long was the last time you have a massage? Does physical therapy counts? No Never. Never? Where you got the idea? Just a little something I picked up. The answer is slowing your breathing. Slow, deep breaths You okay? Yeah This is how I sealed the deal with Tyler. He asked me the best foreplay to foreplay as I get massaged I have to agree. You okay? Yeah Morning. Good morning. I got breakfast I hope you don't mind I took your car. Fritters, eggs, toasts. You know the usual. What are fritters? Fritters? It's like the normal thing. Fritters Don't worry. I'm gonna go wash You left your phone in the bathroom. Looks like you missed some calls What? Nothing. You remind me a lot of Tyler. Oh, yeah? Except you don't really look alike. Okay. Maybe when you look like this. Yeah there it go. Alright Oh maybe if you think of that gun some point. Maybe it's that I feel safe with you. Well you're safe with me. It's nice. Especially after all the weirdest surprises I had the last several months. Like what? Two million of things happen to be too much of a coincidence, you know? Yeah.I mean. Like for example my battery cable thing. That was weird. I'm sure that was a random act of vandalism. Yeah, right? Yeah I have thought so too. Except it there wasn't a nice little accident. Whoever it is they seem to love vandalizing my poor car. Lighten up So you talked to anyone about the stuff going on? Just once. Right around my birthday I got this card on mail post from my hometown I just thought it was one of my sister's. So I tore it right open. Stupid. There was no name. No writing. Just white pattern. Really? Yeah. So the police had it checked out. And there was just surcharge but, so... What Tyler would have to say about all this? It only happened after he died. Do you wondered actually who would hurt you then? this before but after Tyler died I inherited a very large sum of money Like life insurance? That too but mostly his half the company his father left him and his half sister. She is a real bitch. She wants it for herself. And I'm on her way. So they both can have everything handled since they grow up so Privileged. Yeah. But do you actually think she'd gonna kill you? I mean that seems kind permanent. They're just thoughts. Obviously I'm not that concerned or I wouldn't be picking up random men on hiking trails or spending the night with them So I'm special? Don't worry she'll have to get through me to get to you. Hey. What happened to you last night? Hey, Kendra. You okay? Yeah. I'm fine. Tell you what? Pour me a drink and I'll lend you my ears. Remember all the weird shit that has been happened to me? Well I met a guy I spent last night together And the two events are related how? Well in story short. I got in the same path as Chris. He reminded me a lot of Tyler. Two years in Afeghanistan. And he hit on you? No I started it. Really? Yeah I saw him checking me out, I was was gonna him so I was picking up the signals, and I just kind started a conversation. Nice. But... this is all just still standoffish. I know...but I did it so... And you spent the day with him yesterday Actually I spent the night, however Wait no I'm zapping you right there. Number one whatever with your however And number two I said singles mixer. Not pick up some random boy town creep off from jogging path and have random casual sex with him in a cheap motel? And then feel bad about afterwards because you think he's stalking you and doing weird creepy things to your car? It wasn't that cheap of a motel And then what's the problem ? I found a pair of wire cutters and a greased rag in the back of his truck So he's good with tools. Just the kind of guy you need. So what's the problem? That he won't have these missed calls that he had from a JT in his cell phone? JT?... Jackie motherfucking Towsend She's been trying to get to me since Tyler JT are common initials. Jackie is not trying to kill you and she wouldn't hire Chris to do it. Stop being so dramatic. Life is interesting enough if you just live it. I'm a walking proof of it. I am being ridiculous Yeah you are. You want answers? Go out there and get them. Cause there's not gonna be any waiting for you at the bottom of this bottle. Like this. Just go ask him You're right you're, alright. I'm being ridiculous. Yeah, you are being ridiculous. Just whatever you do don't go in that guns blazing. You're never going to find the answers you need from a man when he's staring down at the barrel of a gun. It sounds like this guy has some real issues but...who doesn't? Maybe he just needs someone to help him guide the way You're a pretty that guy... Look at me. Look how I turned out Thank you. Why don't we switch places? I stay here with this beautiful out of lake and trial my sails and you can go out and grab life by the balls. Or, Chris or whatever his name is. Go. Go! Do you have any news for me? Like on Andrew Warner. No. Not yet. Why not? The time and place wasn't right. There was too many people around. beach you take him to? That was his idea. Oh, right. And you just went along for and in between fucking him you couldn't find a time to get it done? The closer he let's me get to him, the more he'll trusts me. Oh, maybe. But I haven't given around the world way too much. Listen. Don't concern yourself with how I do my job. Just know that it'll be done. Alright, alright, my god. Just get it done. Time is running out. Wh-What are you doing here? The keys. I remember. You're not big a criminal. What? You heard me. You 're in love with this thing, don't you? You need to be careful with that. I will. As soon as I get some answers. What kind of answers? Like who the fuck you really are You know who I am. There are no secrets. Really? Then what the fuck is that greased rag and why the cutters in your car? It's not what you think. Then what the hell it is? Talk! Jackie Towsend hired me to kill you. How much is she paying you? Nothing. Someone would have to kill you. Now what the hell is going on here? It's a long story. Well do I have time to listen or.. Tyler Towsend was in my unit in Afeghanistan. You knew him? he was my best friend. He told me about his sister and how he didn't trust her So we made a pact that if anything would happen to him. I would watch out for you. Once I got out. So why don't you contacted me directly. He thought it was a better idea to contact enemy first. So when I researched the company I found out they were looking for head of security I I thought that was the perfect opportunity. So you work for company? No. I didn't pass the drug test. And she knew about part of missions I've done No details. But she knew enough. And I knew if I wouldn't take the job, someone else would. So you cut my cables? But I had to. I had to get closer to you. She was have me followed. So all of this was a huge lie? It was for your own good. What a great way to start a relationship, uh? You're for hire the entire time. Andrew. Look. Its... I know it's a lot. I know but you have to believe me. My feelings for you are real. Where are you going? I'm getting out here. It's not safe. Yeah or where else I'm going out there. It's gonna be a lot safer than being here with you. You're the one who's hired to kill me Just please, don't leave. Is that the hired killer or the protector friend asking first? Neither! Well what are we gonna do? I don't know. I didn't have enough time to think it through. Oh, Great Look it's not everyday you get hired to kill someone Why won't we just go to the police? No police. Why not? Because I'm not exactly into right here. That's for fucking sure. The thing that gets me is. I don't understand why Jackie would have me followed. I mean. It just. It seems so unnecessary. Right. Totally fucking overkill. You know what? She has someone watching you constantly. That doesn't make sense. Exactly. And I mean, I haven't seen anyone out of place or people hanging around. She must have house bugged Wait a minute. The cell phones. The GPS in the cell phones. There are a way to use the GPS in cell phones as, as a tracking device So that's how she always knows where we are. Exactly. And that's how she can probably vandalize my car no matter where it's parked. Exactly. And she probably has an acess key to your car. That fucking bitch! So what do we do? Tomorrow I will throw you off a cliff. you ready for this? As ready as I'll ever be. Don't forget your phone okay? I get it right here. Alright. Meet you at the spot. Everything is gonna be okay. I don't know how anyway. It's simple. Jackie is gonna think you're dead and she's gonna have to pay me the half million dollars. Yeah but what happens if there's no body recover? Who cares! Will be long gone by then. What's next? Then give me your cell phone. Ready? I'll miss my cell phone. Alright.Time to go. Time to go. Okay. Here we go. So have we met our deadline? It's a done deal. Well I suppose I won't be so sure until he's reported missing. So I'll have the money for you then. No I'm not gonna wait around. You gotta pay me now. As soon as people find out he's missing they gonna start asking questions. So the sooner I'm gone, the better off you will be. Hey, hey I'll bring the cash tomorrow morning. No I'll pick up the cash tomorrow afternoon. This is your idea of special delivery? Last night decision. So you're leaving anyway. And just happens to have an extra set of keys. Why not counting? Make sure it's all there. Why so urgently? I guess it takes me a while to rewind after a kill. had you all twisted around just like it did to my brother. Made yourself pretty comfortable here. Kind like you're planning on staying. I'll be leaving tomorrow. And how do I know once I gave you this payoff that you won't come back asking for more? A deal is a deal. Yes it is. And I can assure you that you'll never see or hear from me again. Just so I like it. Well, I wish I could say even a pleasure. Ciao. Oh and don't forget to drop the keys before you go. What now? Wait. Wait until the fuss is clear and then we get out of here. If anything would ever happen. Nothing is gonna happen to you. You don't know that. If anything would ever happen to me. You have to get out of town as quickly as possible It's not safe for you here. You just promise me. Promise. I get that for you. Thank you. Oh, wait. Have to get one thing. Come on we gonna be late. What you forget? Another perfectly good cell phone sacrificed for the cause. Yeah. it was any lucky those two are headed toVegas. What about us? Well I figured the worst in your death. is your family is gonna be pretty upset. You're correct. So I figured if we just cut short into Helena You'll be safe there and I can turn myself in. You first saving me? I have to turn myself in, okay? Look even I do just magically reappear there's nothing Jackie can do about it. Half million dollars short or not. You know that may be true. But still too risky. I'd rather just come clean about the whole thing. I have enough stuff on me already. It's a long way to Helena. Let's just not make decisions right now, okay? Maybe you're right. Good answer. Have you used to say that? So only thing left to do is stop by my house and get some stuff. We can't do that!! Why not ? Because it's too dangerous! What about my passport? We may have to jump the border or something. Okay. But only a pit stop. I'll need it eventually. And what's this Yes I know. But my parents are in poor. And we have half million dollars. You can buy anything you want. Yeah, well if you turn yourself in, you probably turn in . Okay. In either way we're not moving fast enough. Sit down. We're just not moving fast enough. Are you in edgy? You know why I'm edgy. You know you get turned on by the weirdest shit. You know by the time we get to the east coast. It's gonna be hurricane season. Yeah. ...in Bellevue Park Hollywood? What are you up to? Something is up. Why would you be there? Where are you going? We're not hitting that dodge fast enough. We have fun though. Seriously Andrew, are you forgetting that we have an expiration date to get out of town? Yeah but I'd rather not go. No. Ouch. Come on Let's go. I'm gonna go take a piss. You better be ready by the time I get back. Oh, Chris. You probably thought this would buy you some time. Not so much. I told you to get ready. We need to get out of here. How do I know you're still not trying to kill me? Yeah, Chris, how do we know? Nice tatical Chris. Just not good enough. Fuck you. Unfortunately not. All the best ones don't swing in my direction . Okay. This is going way too far. Before you cause any further accident, I suggest you turn around and walk away I'm so very, very disappointed on you, Chris. Not surprised. But so disappointed Chris what's going on? Stay where you are, Andrew. Hello angry lady with a gun here! Yeah, you see this little black thing? That means I talk, you listen. So this is what you're gonna do. Your junky ass is gonna finish the job as per our agreement'. You can't make me pull the trigger. You will cause a deal is a deal, and you're a day late on a fucking half million dollars short. You can have your money back. You know it ends making you so strapping, so stupid. And then some. Do it Chris. Sorry. Not gonna happen. On a trifling justice, my ass. That's the army you bitch! Tyler? Andrew. Better put some pressure on that, buddy. You gotta have a really good excuse for what you have put me through! Come on you look ridiculous pointing that thing at me. Drop it. Or you'll lose your best asset. You'd never be able to tell that Put the gun down. Tyler, just. Just comply for now. You boys aren't the only ones in the room who can handle a pistol.I need fucking answers. Just help me up. Who are you calling? Yes shooting. 14436 Clover street, Sherman Oaks. Are you crazy? Doesn't matter who's gotta the biggest dick when in a room and not the gun in it, uh? Yes there's one dead female, one wounded. Yes ma'am. Myself. Thank you. Alright guys. Angry ex-boyfriend in the house still need some answers. Talk! Tell him Tyler. Tyler faked his death to get out of combat. But then he think it through like what would happen to the millions in his name and Towsend industries... So you wanted me dead too. But you have to understand. You were two people wanting to kill me? No...Yes. Originally it was Jackie. Tyler paid me a visit after our hike. But you're still alive, aren't you? Yeah, so everything is good now? Ding dong the bitch is dead. Let's move on. I don't think it works that way Tyler. The paramedics. You wanna get them Tyler? Alright. Then we gonna figure out how to deal with this mess. The three of us. Now we're take care of all for you guys. Now you guys really gonna be thanking me You Tyler Towsend? You're under arrest for desertion. Come along. So you gonna tell me. Seeing Tyler was as much a surprise for me as it was for you. So he wanted you to kill me. He came by my apartment. And knocked on the door like an old friend or relative. And he said stay the course by whatever means necessary. He said he would back up Jackie in the event of something went wrong. You know. Tyler's version of back up. He said that we. He and I, could finally be together without the guilt. Once you were out of the way. So when he said he met friends, good friends, he really meant friends with benefits. Andrew... You deserved better than him. You deserve a honest, loyal man. I know. I think I found him. In you. Okay. You're sexy as fuck and all but there's a dead woman in my living room, on my couch. It's kinda hard of Yeah the bitch is dead. And the police is gonna be here in any minute so... you need to give me another kiss. Why? Cause I'm under. You're still breathing, I'm bleeding. Okay. Sorry. More halfway the credits... Okay. I know you all just escaped death and life is pretty perfect and everything for the two of you but I can use some assistance over here Hold on. You said cook out. I figured you knew full well that I was grill illiterate. And I couldn't for my own in this one Fine. Chris. would you come over here and show this scant little boy how a man and his grill work together in perfect harmony? Good thing I'm cute. And smart. Don't forget smart. And smart. I'm really glad you with this one. We were all a little concerned about him. Guys, I'm right here. Please don't treat me like I'm away. I can hear you Oh yeah?
