You should never tell a psychopath they are a psychopath. It upsets them.

Villanelle Transcripts: Killing Eve S1E2

Man: What do you want? (IN BULGARIAN)

Villanelle: I don't speak Bulgarian.

Man: I have children. I have a family. Please tell me what this is all about. I can give you anything you want. I have money! Please!

Villanelle: I want you to stand still.

(Man throws something to Villanelle. Villanelle shoots.)

Man: Sorry! Who are you?

Villanelle: Huge question.

Man: Why are you doing this to me?

Villanelle: I have absolutely no idea.

(Villanelle kills him.)

Sebastian: Hello!

Villanelle: Hi!

Sebastian: I uh... I haven't seen the TV remote since Wednesday and I just thought maybe I had... Mother of God! I don't know the word in French. Your eye is... Are you hurt?

Villanelle: No. I like your trousers.

Sebastian: Oh. Oh, thank you. Yes, I made them myself. My name is Sebastian.

Villanelle: Oh, hi. Letting yourself into my apartment and drinking from a tiny cup doesn't make you intimidating, by the way. It's just rude.

Konstantin: I'm not trying to intimidate you. What happened to your eye?

Villanelle: I wanted it to match my jacket. Do you want a smoothie?

Konstantin: No. I want you to get assessed again. London was...

(BLENDER WHIRRING, WHIRRING STOPS.)

Konstantin: ...meant to look like suicide.

Villanelle: It didn't?

Konstantin: So she slit her own throat?

Villanelle: It happens.

Konstantin: And killed four other people?

Villanelle: Slip of the hand?

Konstantin: Why are you being naughty?

Villanelle: I'm excited about my next one.

Konstantin: No. No more targets until you are assessed.

Villanelle: But this one has asthma. You know I like the breathy ones. Hm?

Konstantin: No.

Villanelle: Will it be Jerome?

Konstantin: Yes.

Villanelle: I'll wear my chicken fillets, then. They're things you put in your bra.

Konstantin: I know what they are.

Man: Thank you for coming. (IN RUSSIAN)

Villanelle: Ooh.

Konstantin: She won't speak Russian anymore.

Man: Oh. Thank you for making such an effort, Villanelle.

Villanelle: (CHUCKLES)

Man: How do you feel about the people who you work for?

Villanelle: I respect their privacy.

Man: Do you have any interest in why you are asked to do what you do? There are concerns about your state of mind.

Villanelle: Okay.

Man: Have you been feeling any... anxieties or stress recently?

Villanelle: I had quite a heavy period last week, but other than that, I think I'm okay.

Man: When was the last time you worked?

Villanelle: Yesterday.

Man: Was it a successful mission?

Villanelle: Yes. I shot him twice in the heart and watched the spark drain from his eyes.

Man: Did you talk to him?

Villanelle: A little. He said he had children and offered me money.

Man: What did you feel when he said those things?

Villanelle: Impatient.

Man: What do you see in this picture?

Villanelle: Good legs.

(BREATHES HEAVILY, EXHALES SHARPLY.)

Villanelle: I'm sorry.

(BREAKS INTO LAUGHTER, LAUGHS.)

Villanelle: Your face! (CONTINUES LAUGHING)

Man: She's fine.

Villanelle: Thank you.

Konstantin: No, wait. I have one more.

Man: So, Villanelle... Do you still have dreams about Anna? (IN RUSSIAN)

(BREATHES HEAVILY, SIGHS.)

Villanelle: That's not Anna.

Konstantin: Who is it?

Villanelle: It's my mother. I'm joking. My mother had really thin, shitty hair.

Man: Yes, I see what you mean. Thank you, Villanelle. But I won't sign you off.

Villanelle: What were you two doing in there?

Konstantin: We are doing you a favor. The security is too tight anyway.

Villanelle: (SCOFFS) Come on!

Konstantin: I'm serious.

Villanelle: I've done three weeks' catering training.

Konstantin: (LAUGHS) No, you haven't.

Villanelle: Look, I have the little outfit.

Konstantin: You save it for your birthday party, then.

Villanelle: I want to do it. You tell them that I'm fine.

Konstantin: You like Paris, huh? You like your life. It's good to have someone worried about you, huh?

Villanelle: And who worries about you? I do.

Konstantin: (CHUCKLES) No, you don't.

Villanelle: (QUIETLY) I do.

Konstantin: No, you don't.

(Villanelle hugs Konstantin.)

Konstantin: And you wonder why I'm worried about you?

Villanelle: (CHUCKLES)

Konstantin: Go home. Do something normal.

Sebastian: Arnica. It is the best thing for bruises.

Villanelle: Thank you, Sebastian.

Sebastian: If you ever want to talk to anyone or... I-I just wanted to make sure you were alright.

Villanelle: What are you doing now?

Sebastian: Um, right now?

Villanelle: Mm.

Sebastian: Um, canceling all the plans I had.

Villanelle: Okay. Let's go out.

Sebastian: Okay. What do you want to do?

Villanelle: Something normal.

Sebastian: What? They cannot do that.

Villanelle: They have.

Sebastian: No. Go anyway. It's your job.

Villanelle: (LAUGHS) You are so passionate.

Sebastian: Well, of course I am. I'm an artist and I am upset. Now, I don't know much about the...

Villanelle: Perfume industry.

Sebastian: Okay, but I know that you cannot let people stand in your way. You have to show ambition. You have to... you have to sell your perfume. You have to prove the bastards wrong.

(STREET BAND PLAYS)

Sebastian: Here they are! Oh, I'm so pleased they are here. Now, do you like music?

Villanelle: I like national anthems.

Sebastian: (CHUCKLES)

Villanelle: Why is that funny?

Sebastian: I don't know. You're just, um... surprising. Where did you come here from?

Villanelle: Where did you come here from?

Sebastian: Um, Spain. To do a summer school at the IFA, the design school, um, get away for a bit, fall in love. You know, all the reasons people come to Paris.

(Villanelle looks a woman with curly hair.)

Sebastian: Do you know her?

Villanelle: No. I want to see your apartment.

Sebastian: Please, slow down. I'll be finished very soon. I think I might... Slow down! Please slow down! Ahh! Slow... Oh, my... Oh...Did you?

Villanelle: Yes.

Sebastian: I am never going to hurt you.

Sebastian: Where are you going?

Villanelle: Work.

Sebastian: Good. Good luck selling your perfume.

Villanelle: Bonjour.

Woman: Good work.

(VILLANELLE GIGGLES)

Villanelle: Bonjour, Claudie. (CHUCKLES)

Man: Could we get some water?

Villanelle: Of course.

Man: Thank you.

Man: Hey! No staff down there. You should know that.

Villanelle: Madam asked me to bring her a tampon.

Man: Of course. Very good.

Villanelle: I never go anywhere without one.

Villanelle: Excuse me. Madame De Mann?

Woman: What?

Villanelle: No, I'm sorry. I... I want to tell you about my company. I know you invest in pharmaceuticals and beauty too. I have a perfume that I think you might...

Woman: No, thank you. No.

Villanelle: I'm just trying to start out like you did in Provence. I know how hard you worked and it has inspired me. It's women like you who pave the way for women like me. I even named the perfume after you, Carla.

Woman: I don't believe in all the 'walk into it' crap.

Villanelle: Me neither.

Woman: I'm sorry. I can't smell anything but i appreciate your story and I wish you...

(WOMAN WHEEZES AND COUGHS. GASPS FOR BREATH. DIES.)

Villanelle: Bye-bye.

Konstantin: I'm halving your allowance.

Villanelle: I wouldn't recommend that.

Konstantin: You disobeyed me.

Villanelle: You lied to me. You said it was impossible.

Sebastian: (KNOCKING) Hello?

Konstantin: Hi.

Sebastian: Hi.

Konstantin: I'm, uh, I'm her brother.

Villanelle: He has a condition.

Sebastian: Oh, I'm... I'm sorry. I'm... I'm Sebastian. I'm... I'm a friend of Julie.

Konstantin: Oh. Nice to meet you, then.

Sebastian: How was the job?

Villanelle: Oh, so good.

Sebastian: Did she like your perfume?

Villanelle: She loved it.

Sebastian: Can I smell it now? Her boss was being a total bastard.

Konstantin: Oh, yeah. They always are. Yeah. Shall I come back later?

Sebastian: Shall I come back later?

Konstantin: Ah, thank you.

Villanelle: I will come to you.

Sebastian: (SNIFFS) Are you wearing it now?

Villanelle: No.

Sebastian: Are you okay? Do you want me to stay?

Villanelle: No, I'm okay.

Sebastian: Oh, I um... I got you a gift.

Villanelle: Thank you.

Sebastian: I'll, uh... I'll keep it warm.

Konstantin: You need to deal with him.

Villanelle: He's my boyfriend.

Konstantin: Ah, congratulations. He has kind eyes.

Villanelle: Why did you lie to me? There was no security.

Konstantin: I don't have to tell you. You just have to trust me.

Villanelle: (LAUGHS) No, you have to trust me. Okay, we can fight. But you will get tired and I will get bored and you don't like it when I'm bored. If I kill you, they will just send me another one.

Konstantin: I thought you worried about me. You're so dramatic.

Villanelle: Tell me.

Konstantin: A woman in London is leading a department just to find you. No, it's not a good thing. It's a closed operation. And we don't know what they know, but we are working on it. We just need to be subtle at the moment.

Villanelle: I can be subtle.

Konstantin: Good.

Villanelle: Mm. But it's going to be expensive. What's her name?

Konstantin: Why? Eve Polastri.

Villanelle: Eve Polastri.

Konstantin: We'll continue as usual. Just be aware.

Villanelle: I'm always aware.

(They hear a noise and see Sebastian's dead body at the door.)

Villanelle: Dealt with.

Konstantin: Oh, for...
