Screenplay data
After a hit goes wrong in Sweden, assassin Jack relocates to a quiet Italian village, seeking a final assignment from his handler, Larry, before retiring. Jack is tasked with building a custom sniper rifle for a mysterious client, Mathilde, while simultaneously forming a romantic relationship with local sex worker Clara and a friendship with Father Benedetto. As Jack completes the rifle, he grows increasingly wary of Mathilde and Larry, suspecting a setup, and discovers a hidden gun in Clara's apartment, further fueling his paranoia. During the exchange of the rifle, Jack realizes Mathilde intends to use it to kill him, but her attempt fails due to a jammed weapon. In the ensuing chaos, Jack kills Larry, who was also part of the plot, and escapes, leaving his life as an assassin behind to pursue a future with Clara.

Jack, MathildeMaybe this is suicide. Cops often put the graft on working girls. Perhaps the girl I told you about, Clara, has sold me out. Maybe she's a cop herself, or maybe she's a hired gun. Then again, maybe Clara is who she says she is and my Belgian clients will take the gun, shoot me themselves and keep the money. Always a risk in my profession. Or perhaps my trusted colleague in Rome no longer trusts me. Perhaps even you, Father, with your connections in Naples...
I walk here to meditate. Once a week, Wednesday, the farthest one can travel in the week from the Sabbath. The trees are like the Stations of the Cross: by certain trees I thank God for certain favours he has granted me, or certain gifts he has made to me and all men. For example, here by this pine, I thank him for the many friendships I have and ask him to look after those of my friends who are troubled.
One of the girls borrow it to me after the second hooker in Chieti is murdered. With some of the clients it make me feel safe. I don't tell the police, of course, but... Madonna, Eduardo. How they do to these two women! A police agente from Rome show me photographs. They show photographs to everyone in Via Lampedusa.
Turn right outside the bar then second left. Via Spinetti. You'll find a silver Citroen C2 with Chieti plates. Check the glove box and follow the map. Castelvecchio. It's a fucking fortress. Literally. And as dead as a graveyard. Anyone within a three to five mile radius you'll see 'em coming.
You're assuming I'm English or you'd never have mentioned the weather. In fact I'm Belgian but I went to boarding school in England. And am quite happy to converse on all subjects meteorological.
I doubt any of the couples here are. With the exception of the Germans at table seven. She's wearing a wedding ring and they haven't spoken a word to each other for eight and half minutes.
I'm fucked if I know, Jack. If you want my opinion, they're just being jittery. I told `em you were the most security conscious professional I know. I told `em no one gets close to you.
My meagre income is subject to the vagaries of the stock market and with church attendance declining there's less and less money in the offertory. But if a man has God in his vaults...
