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

Villanelle Transcripts: Killing Eve S1E5

Villanelle: Don't run.

(Eve runs and locks herself in the bathroom.)

Villanelle: Open the door! I'm not going to hurt you!

Eve: Come on, come on! Help me! Help me!

Villanelle: I am not going to hurt you!

Eve: Please!

Villanelle: Open this door or I will!

Eve: Something, something, something! Damn it!

Villanelle: Open this shit door!

Eve: No! No! No!

Villanelle: Listen to me. Listen to me!

Eve: What are you doing? No! No!

Villanelle: Stop it! Stop screaming at me! I'm not going to hurt you! Stop it! Stop it! Stop screaming! I'm not going to hurt you.

Eve: You're hurting me!

Villanelle: Shut up! Stop it! I just want to have dinner with you. Okay? Okay!

Eve: Um... I don't really have much to, uh...

Villanelle: I will eat anything. Thank you.

Eve: There's shepherd's pie.

Villanelle: Thank you.

Eve: I can do it in the oven, but microwaving it would be faster.

Villanelle: Microwave is fine. You're shaking.

Eve: Uh, yeah, well...

Villanelle: Hey, put on something from there. I won't look. You have a very nice body.

Villanelle: Do you want me to lay the table?

Eve: No, you're my guest.

(Eve takes a knife.)

Villanelle: You don't want that to slip. You can hold on to it if it makes you feel better.

Villanelle: Please. It's so nice to meet you.

Eve: You, too. Why are you here?

Villanelle: Did you make this?

Eve: No.

Villanelle: Your husband?

Eve: Yes.

Villanelle: He has an excellent mustache.

Eve: Why are you in my house?

Villanelle: I wanted to see you.

Eve: Why?

Villanelle: I need someone to help me. I don't wanna do this anymore. I know what I am. I know I'm not... normal, I... I don't feel things that... I'm sorry. I didn't want to hurt your partner. I don't want to hurt people. They make me do it. If I don't do what they say... Eve, I have nowhere to go. I need help. Eve, please, I am so sorry.

Eve: Bullshit. Bullshit! God! You're an asshole, Oksana.

Villanelle: (LAUGHS) You are so pleased with yourself.

Eve: I know more than that.

Villanelle: Hmm?

Eve: I know you are Russian. I know you were in a prison in Moscow for five years until someone broke you out. I know you are exceptionally bright. Determined. Hard-working.

Villanelle: What else?

Eve: I know you are an extraordinary person.

Villanelle: What else?

Eve: I know something happened to you.

Villanelle: What else?

Eve: I know you're a psychopath.

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

Eve: Are you upset?

Villanelle: Stupid word.

Eve: Are you here to kill me?

Villanelle: We're just watching you.

Eve: Who? Who do you work for? Why are you killing these people? Do you not know?

Villanelle: Do you know who you work for?

Eve: Yes.

Villanelle: Really?

Eve: Yes.

Villanelle: Really? I think if you went high enough, you'd probably find we work for the same people.

Eve: I have, uh, your prison file.

Villanelle: What does it say?

Eve: Why castration? What did he do to you? Tell me.

Villanelle: Okay. But can we get one thing clear before we go on with this?

Eve: Yes.

Villanelle: Is that a sweater attached to a shirt? Is it two separate pieces? How does it work?

Eve: Why Bill?

Villanelle: He was slowing you down.

(Eve tries to take the knife.)

Villanelle: Don't do that. Don't do that.

Villanelle: It's worse... When I push it through slowly. Don't make me.

(Villanelle smells Eve.)

Villanelle: Are you wearing it?

Eve: I am gonna find the thing you care about... And I am gonna kill it.

(Nico comes home.)

Eve: Oh! Please. Please?

Villanelle: What is your PIN?

Eve: One, two... Three... Four.

Villanelle: Okay. Thank you so much for your help. I'll take this. Hi! I'm sorry, I'm just leaving. (In British Accent)

Niko: Hello.

Villanelle: Hi. Oh, thanks, Eve, that was delicious!

Frank: Oh, God! Oh, God! Someone!

Villanelle: Squealer.

Frank: I'm... No, I'm... I didn't tell them everything. Are you going to kill me?

Villanelle: Mmm. But first, I'm going to use you for sex. (LAUGHS) It's just a joke.

Frank: Please. Please! We can do a deal. I have a lot of money.

Villanelle: So do I.

Frank: I have children.

Villanelle: I don't want your children.

Frank: No, I have children to take care of.

Villanelle: Oh! Oh. This will give them something to bond over. You scared?

Frank: Yes.

Villanelle: Because you don't know what happens when you die? You have any ideas? Your eyes will just... Empty. Then your soul goes in. People think that your soul or personality, whatever, leaves the body when you die. I swear, it just goes further in. It falls so far in and just... Just becomes so small that it can't control your body anymore.It's just in there, dying forever. Mmm. I'm going to kill you nicely. First. But then I'm going to make a mess of your body afterwards so it looks worse than it is. Just so you know, okay?

Frank: No, wait, please, can we... Do it in the bedroom?

Villanelle: I have a thing for bathrooms, actually.

Frank: Please?

Villanelle: Okay. Come on. Let's do it in there.

(Frank tries to attack Villanelle with a chair.)

Villanelle: Don't get me excited.

Frank: I'm sorry.

Villanelle: Take off your clothes. And you might get away with this.

Frank: What do you want from me?

Villanelle: Your penis.

Frank: My... Huh?

Villanelle: Diego and Nadia were fighting. Ugh.

Konstantin: And then?

Villanelle: And then he just went backwards! I was screaming. Nadia put something in the back of the car and bang, he hit her. Told me to get out of the car and we just walked away. I had no weapon. He said he was going to kill me, I said, "Why? Why? We're meant to be a team, we have to get the target." He said we were, uh... Oh, God, what's the word he used? "Pumpkins."

Konstantin: So?

Villanelle: So I shot him.

Konstantin: Oh. I thought you had no weapon.

Villanelle: I took his.

Konstantin: Oh. While he was pointing it at you?

Villanelle: I didn't want to tell you this part of the story because I knew you would be jealous.

Konstantin: Hmm?

Villanelle: I had to use my tits.

Konstantin: (LAUGHS) To kill him? You killed him with your tits?

Villanelle: No! When he was looking at them, I took his gun.

Konstantin: Ah, okay.

Villanelle: It was so sad, you know?

Konstantin: Mmm-hmm.

Villanelle: I liked having a team, but you can't trust anyone, huh? You told me that.

Konstantin: Nadia is still alive.

Villanelle: No. No, he... He went over her. Twice.

Konstantin: I think you should go and visit her before she starts telling her side of the story.

Villanelle: Where is Nadia?

Konstantin: Russia. You have no choice. No one else can do it. It's too suspicious. Don't worry. You can come straight back.

Villanelle: What about Anna? Hmm?

Konstantin: You won't see her. What?

Villanelle: What number are you?

Konstantin: What?

Villanelle: You're not 12.

Konstantin: Oh, dear.
