Villanelle Transcripts: Killing Eve S3E8

Villanelle: A little overdramatic, don't you think?

Carolyn: I got the tickets yonks ago. When you asked to meet, I thought, "Why not kill two birds with one stone?" What do you want, Villanelle?

Villanelle: I want to know what the canteen's like.

Carolyn: Here?

Villanelle: MI6.

Carolyn: It's heavily lasagne-based. Sometimes they branch out into cannelloni. What do you want?

Villanelle: I want to accept your job offer.

Carolyn: Are things not working out with Helene?

Villanelle: Helene? Oh! Helene loves me. Yeah... Actually, a bit much. You know? I got promoted.

Carolyn: Goodness!

Villanelle: I know. She's very happy with me. They all are.

Carolyn: But?

Villanelle: I'm looking for a new challenge.

Carolyn: You want to kill for us now?

Villanelle: No!

Carolyn: I'm confused. What would you do for us?

Villanelle: I can do all sorts of things. Spy stuff. Fake moustache. Codes. Information.

Carolyn: Who killed Mo Jafari?

Villanelle: I don't know.

Carolyn: Who killed my son?

Villanelle: What?!

Carolyn: Rather a poor start to a job interview, don't you think?

Villanelle: You're turning me down?

Carolyn: I don't know what it is you're offering. You were trained to do one thing and one thing only. If you can't do that, what use are you to me? To anyone?

Villanelle: I can change.

Carolyn: If Villanelle has retired, what's left? Oksana? I can't see that working for MI6. Can you? Mahler's 10th. I've got to get down for the end of the first movement. Good luck.

Eve: Hi.

Villanelle: Hi.

Eve: How are you?

Villanelle: How are you?

Eve: Why here?

Villanelle: I did my first ever kill in this country here. Strangled a high-ranking police officer. He was a tango champion. Imagine if I'd refused. What do you think I would have become? Interior designer, maybe.

Eve: If you had, it would have saved me a lot of heartache. Niko's in hospital. Dasha stabbed him through the neck and blamed it on you. Are you listening to me?

Villanelle: Do you ever think about the past?

Eve: All the time. That's all I think about.

Villanelle: It's nice to watch them. They seem happy. Just... carefree.

Eve: Well, dancing will do that.

Villanelle: I want to feel like that.

Eve: What happened?

Man: Time for the next dance, ladies. We encourage all to the dance floor. Rhythm or, uh, no rhythm.

Eve: Come on, then.

Villanelle: Dancing's not my thing.

Eve: Mine either, but it's good to try new things.

Eve: Are you leading or am I?

Villanelle: I have no idea.

Villanelle: Do you want to be like that?

Eve: Not anymore.

Villanelle: Why not?

Eve: We'd never make it that long. We'd consume each other before we got old.

Villanelle: That sounds kind of nice.

Villanelle: I've killed so many people, Eve.

Eve: I know.

Villanelle: You should go.

Eve: Why?

Villanelle: Take this. I'll meet you later.

Eve: What is it?

Villanelle: Freedom.

Eve: What's going on?

Villanelle: Our party's getting crashed. Go, Eve! Go!

Rhian: Oi! Helene wants to see you.

Villanelle: If you want to dance, you just have to ask.

Rhian: What?

Villanelle: Okay! Where does she want to meet?

Villanelle: Talk me through your outfit.

Rhian: I like to be comfortable.

Villanelle: Why?

Rhian: What do you mean, why?

Villanelle: 'Cause comfortable is what you make people with a terminal illness.

Rhian: I was trained to wear clothes that allow a full range of movement.

Villanelle: So weird. I was trained to look devastating. Obviously. Isn't it funny? Two ruthless Killers, when somebody says, "Jump," we just... just jump. Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump! Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump!

Rhian: Autonomy's overrated. Sheep are happier than wolves.

Villanelle: Oh... You spend your time off surveying sheep?

Rhian: It was an expression.

Villanelle: You know, you almost have no sense of humour.

Rhian: I take my job seriously.

Villanelle: Mmm. What if I tickled you? Would you laugh then?

Rhian: Don't tickle me.

Villanelle: Ohh! That's a yes. Ba-bum!

Rhian: I don't care you've checked out. In fact, it's better for me. The bigger your crisis, the quicker that I can take your place. So, keep having a wobble. Keep hoping that the universe has got something else lined up for you. But do me one thing, okay? Come quietly, little sheep. I promise, you'll be happier that way.

Villanelle: I'm sorry.

Rhian: What? Ah! Ah! Ah! I'm sorry! I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I... I... I didn't mean it. Please! Arggh! Help me, please! Please!

Villanelle: I have a meeting with Eve Polastri.

Audrey: She's not here. Can I take a message?

Villanelle: I'll wait.

Audrey: Would you like a drink?

Villanelle: So much death. That one... That wasn't me. I swear.

Audrey: It's her.

Bear: Who?

Audrey: Her!

Bear: Oh, my God, it is her. She's directly in front of us. And she likes Tangfastics. She is amazing. What do you think she does with all the penises after...?

Jamie: Sshh!

Villanelle: Yes?

(PHONE RINGS)

Villanelle: Excuse me. This better not be you calling to tell me you're dead.

Konstantin: Will you please tell your friend to give me what's mine?

Villanelle: You're with Eve? Eve, I'm at your work! Everyone here is really strange!

Konstantin: What the hell are you doing, getting her involved?

Villanelle: I had no choice. You were busy having a heart attack.

Eve: Let me speak to her.

Konstantin: Tell her to hand it over now.

Villanelle: And watch you leave without me? No way.

Konstantin: I'm very sick. I can't handle this right now.

Villanelle: Then you better leave it with her.

Konstantin: Meet us, now.

Eve: She said for me to hang onto it, didn't she?

Villanelle: The good ones... I pickle. The bad ones...you don't want to know. This has been great, guys! Really. Thanks for the good time.

Konstantin: Don't say anything. I do the talking.

Carolyn: Ah. Now he's here, we can start properly.

Eve: Carolyn?!

Carolyn: Eve, what are you doing here?

Eve: I'm helping... Villanelle.

Carolyn: Of course. I'm surprised she's not with...

Eve: Shall I?

Konstantin: What have you told her?

Paul: As I've explained to you, Carolyn, he only knows me because I've been working undercover.

Konstantin: And you believe that?

Carolyn: Sit down. No, next to him.

Villanelle: Well! This is something new. Who's he?

Carolyn: Someone who's going to answer a couple of questions.

Paul: Carolyn, things will go a lot easier for you if we just end this now.

Carolyn: Sit down, Paul!

Konstantin: He's the one who's been giving me orders.

Villanelle: Who is he?

Konstantin: Whatever this is, we can talk about it. Do you even know how to use that? Please. Give the gun to me.

(CAROLYN FIRES GUN)

Carolyn: Oh. Seems to be working.

Paul: You're going to burn for this. Both of you.

Carolyn: Shut up, Paul!

Villanelle: What is going on?

Eve: I have no idea. What happened?

Villanelle: It's fine.

Carolyn: If you two are going to be here, the least you could do is just sit down and be quiet.

Konstantin: Carolyn, you know I've been working for The Twelve, FSB, the British Security Service. That can't be a surprise for you.

Paul: This is why we've been investigating him. He's betrayed everyone. He's even been stealing millions from The Twelve.

Konstantin: Don't listen to him. He is The Twelve.

Villanelle: He's The Twelve?

Konstantin: Yes.

Villanelle: Do you know Helene?

Paul: Helen who runs the treasury desk?

Villanelle: No, Helene. She's my boss. Ex-boss. It was a very toxic workplace.

Eve: Did you order Dasha Duzran to kill my husband? Did you?

Paul: I don't know any of the people you're talking about.

Konstantin: Dasha... is dead.

Villanelle: Dead?

Carolyn: Will you all be quiet?

Konstantin: Carolyn, what is this about?

Carolyn: Justice. Why did you kill my son?

Eve: What?!

Konstantin: Ha! That's ridiculous.

Carolyn: I saw the footage.

Konstantin: What footage?

Carolyn: On the day Kenny died, you were there.

Eve: You were there?

Konstantin: I can explain.

Carolyn: Please do. Because I'm very close to pulling this trigger. I'm waiting.

Villanelle: Tell her.

Konstantin: We were at the rooftop.

Eve: You killed Kenny?

Villanelle: He doesn't kill people. He makes other people do it for him.

Carolyn: Why were you there?

Konstantin: Because of Paul.

Paul: What?!

Konstantin: Kenny was getting too close to The Twelve. I told him if he wanted to live, he needed to come working for The Twelve. I was trying to save him. I promise.

Paul: He's lying.

Konstantin: I was trying to save him. I swear!

Carolyn: Yet he died.

Konstantin: He got scared. He kept stepping back. I tried to stop him. But he fell before I could do anything.

Carolyn: I wish I could believe you.

Konstantin: You have to believe me.

Carolyn: The problem is, Konstantin, I don't.

Konstantin: I wouldn't have.

Carolyn: Wouldn't have? Why wouldn't you?

Konstantin: I wouldn't do that to someone I once...

Carolyn: Don't say 'loved'.

Konstantin: It's true.

Carolyn: Get down on your knees.

Konstantin: I loved you.

Carolyn: You never loved me. Not even close. Get down on your knees!

Eve: Carolyn. Think of what...

Konstantin: Why just... why just me? Why not him as well?

Carolyn: Because I don't care about him. He doesn't mean anything to me. But I did care about you. This was inevitable.

Konstantin: Villanelle, do something! Villanelle!

(Carolyn shot Paul.)

Eve: Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Carolyn: It should have been you. Go, before I change my mind. Go!

Konstantin: Are you coming?

Villanelle: No.

Konstantin: Why not?

Villanelle: You're not family.

Eve: Why kill him?! He had everything we wanted to know about The Twelve.

Carolyn: Mo found the evidence. And Paul had him killed for it.

Eve: He was a source! It was Konstantin who killed your son!

Carolyn: No, Eve. I am responsible for Kenny's death.

Eve: Look, it's not your fault! Kenny was killed trying to expose The Twelve. Isn't that what we're all trying to do?!

Carolyn: What I've come to realise is that one cannot destroy The Twelve.

Villanelle: You should listen to her, Eve.

Carolyn: I know it. She knows it. Maybe it's time you went cold turkey?

Eve: What do you mean?

Carolyn: You know precisely what I mean.

Villanelle: I like turkey.

Carolyn: Don't you want to just trot along after her?

Villanelle: Eve! Hey! You can be pretty athletic when you choose.

Eve: I killed Dasha.

Villanelle: No. I killed Dasha. I hit her over the head with a golf club.

Eve: I crushed her... with my foot.

Villanelle: You did?

Eve: Uh-huh.

Villanelle: Then I guess we both did. Isn't that romantic?

Eve: You know the only people who would think that are?

Villanelle: Who?

Eve: Us.

Villanelle: I don't want to do it anymore. Any of it.

Eve: What's happened to us? I used to be like them.

Villanelle: What? Badly dressed? You were never like them. You only thought you were.

Eve: No. I had a life. I had a husband and a house. And a chicken.

Villanelle: You still want that stuff?

Eve: When I try and think of my future, I just... see your face over and over again.

Villanelle: It's a very beautiful face.

Eve: Oh.

Villanelle: Did I ruin your life? Do you think I'm a monster?

Eve: You're so many things.

Villanelle: Doesn't answer my question.

Eve: I think we all have monsters inside of us. It's just that most people manage to keep theirs hidden.

Villanelle: Well, I haven't.

Eve: No. Neither have I.

Villanelle: I think my monster encourages your monster. Right?

Eve: I think I wanted it to. Help me. Help me make it stop.

Villanelle: So, no more tea dances? If that's really what you want, it's not difficult.

Eve: You're gonna tell me to jump?

Villanelle: No! Of course not. You'd die if you jumped.

Eve: Yeah.

Villanelle: It's easier than that.

Eve: If only that were true.

Villanelle: Stand up straight. Stand up straight and look at me. Now turn around and face the other way.

Eve: What?

Villanelle: I'll turn this way. Have you turned? I can't see you.

Eve: Now what?

Villanelle: Now we walk and we never look back.

Eve: But I... I...

Villanelle: Don't turn. Just walk.
