Villanelle Transcripts: Killing Eve S4E2

Villanelle: I have something I'd like to say.

Phil: Okay. Is it about the quiz or...

Villanelle: "There shall be more joy in Heaven over one sinner that repents than over 99 righteous persons that need no repentance." Luke, Chapter 15.

Phil: Thank you, Nelle.

Jesus Villanelle: He wants you gone. He knows something happened between you and the daughter, he just doesn't know what.

Villanelle: What are you doing here?

Jesus Villanelle: What do you mean what am I doing here? I'm here to guide you, remember? I'm your spiritual guru. Uh, first piece of advice... don't eat the weird camping food. Come. You want to know why I look and sound like you? Don't deny it, I can see into your brain. Come. Everyone experiences me differently. I appear to some as an angel, to some as a voice in the clouds, to some as a burning bush. But for you, I'm you in drag. Does that make sense?

Villanelle: Yes.

Jesus Villanelle: You and I both know how well you're doing. Your goodness is really starting to "pop". You just need to convince him of it. You can't let him stand in the way of your transformation.

Villanelle: He doesn't believe in me.

Jesus Villanelle: Ah, he's just threatened by you. Make things right with the daughter, and the vicar will follow. Go on. Go get them, tiger!

Villanelle: Whoa...

Villanelle: Knock, knock. And behold, the dove returned to Noah with a freshly plucked olive branch in her beak. You have to use your imagination.

May: I need to finish unpacking.

Villanelle: Let me help you. I know you're scared of me.

May: You tried to kill me.

Villanelle: Yet you're still alive.

May: So you admit it?

Villanelle: That's not the point. The point is I... I didn't kill you!

May: What does that matter? You tried to drown me but it's fine because you didn't finish the job?

Villanelle: It matters, okay?

May: I don't understand.

Villanelle: I'm a bad person who's trying to be good. You know when one person thinks you're evil, everyone else starts to think it. And after a while, you start to believe it yourself. That's why it matters that you're still alive. It's working. I'm getting better. And it's all thanks to being around people like you.

May: I want to show you something.

Villanelle: Won't your dad be angry?

May: Probably.

Villanelle: Are you going to kill me now?

May: No, I'm going to save you. There is something all coiled-up in you and it's stopping you from being who you want to be. There's only one way to uncoil it. (SCREAMS) You try, Nelle, let yourself go!

Villanelle: Oh!

Jesus Villanelle: You did it! She's totally into you again! What's the matter? Aren't you pleased?

Villanelle: No, I'm really pleased. You want to spin with me?

Jesus Villanelle: It's a little juvenile for me... Are you kidding? Of course I do!

Phil: May, a word? Where have you two been?

May: I took Nelle to the clearing.

Phil: You missed Capture the Flag. You've always loved that game.

May: Yeah, well, people change.

Phil: Well, can't you see that's what I'm worried about?

Villanelle: I think he's really warming to me.

May: He's such a hypocrite. He doesn't want me to be around you, but he's not so different himself.

Villanelle: Me and him? The same?

May: You think you've done some bad stuff, but...

Villanelle: But what?

May: I shouldn't say.

Villanelle: It's not fair for you to have to keep his secrets. Jesus would want you to be honest.

May: He killed my mum.

Villanelle: Uh, say that again.

May: He tells everyone that "Mary died in a car crash". But he leaves out the most important part. He was the one who was driving. He was the one who was drunk. Please, you can't tell anyone.

Villanelle: Of course not.

Villanelle: Am I Hitler?

Everyone: Yes!

Villanelle: Who did this?

Phil: It's just a game, Nelle.

Villanelle: Ah! Okay. Okay, well, now it's my turn to write one!

Phil: Yes!

Villanelle: Yeah. It's Bible themed. So you're going to love it! Yes!

Phil: It's what we like! Okay. Am I a man?

Everyone: No.

Phil: No? Am I alive?

Everyone: No.

Phil: Am I a contemporary of Jesus?

Everyone: Yes.

Villanelle: No. No. Actually... Did... Did I say Bible-themed?

Everyone: Yes.

Villanelle: I meant Phil-themed.

Phil: Phil-themed?

May: Nelle, what are you doing?

Phil: No, it's okay, May. It can be about me, if that's what Nelle wants. At least she's taking part. Uh, okay, Nelle. So, it's me-themed. Is it someone I know?

Villanelle: Knew.

Phil: Am I my mother?

Villanelle: No.

Phil: Am I our old cat?

Villanelle: Do you want a clue? You were killed unlawfully.

Phil: I don't know anyone that was killed unlawfully...

Villanelle: Oh, think a bit harder. Do you give up? The answer is your dead wife who you killed in a car crash when you were drunk. Yeah. Better luck next time. I'll get the sausages.

Jesus Villanelle: That was not what we discussed.

Villanelle: Did you see his face?

Jesus Villanelle: Don't ever do something without running it past me again, or I will smite you! I can't be mad at you. You know, if you hadn't called him out, I would've had to. No, we can't have murderers as vicars.

Villanelle: Uh, you can't?

Jesus Villanelle: I didn't mean you.

Villanelle: Oh.

Jesus Villanelle: You're fine. You're not pretending to be perfect. Now, you've been naughty, sure. But he, has a really nasty streak. You know, I once took the devil out of a man in Gerasa and put him into a herd of pigs. People loved it. And guess what? They're going to love you too. You've saved them from the evil in their midst.

Villanelle: Don't worry! I'm back! What's the matter? Did someone get murdered? Okay... You, Malala, unpack these. You get some more wood for the fire. You, put some music on. Huh? This is supposed to fun.

Barbara: I knew you was bad inside. I saw it from the beginning.

Villanelle: Nobody cares what you think, Barbara.

Man: I do.

Villanelle: Did you not see what happened? I, uh... I cast out a demon.

Barbara: He's not the demon. It's you who should go, missy.

Everyone: Yes.

Villanelle: Yes! Why are... Why are you defending the vicar? He killed his wife and then he lied about it!

Barbara: Whatever he did, it's in the past. It's the man he is today we care about.

Villanelle: What about the woman I am now? Do you know how many times I've won Parishioner of the Week award?

Barbara: Cause you invented it! There's a saying in my family. You can put a wig on shit, but it still stinks of shit!

Villanelle: You said they'd love me!

May: I didn't see what you saw. I saw something, something good.

Phil: And now?

May: And now I don't think anyone could love her. I think she's the devil!

(Villanelle kills them.)

Jesus Villanelle: There, there. Come on. Don't hate yourself. You were the perfect little lamb. A shepherd like me couldn't have...

Villanelle: Very good. You really got me.

Jesus Villanelle: No one else could've done it.

Villanelle: I thought I could do it.

Jesus Villanelle: Oh, baby. You didn't stand a chance. Oh, don't stop now. Huh? Come on, finish the job! Boo-hoo!
