THE BEE KEEPER script

Adam Clay, a retired operative from a secret program known as "Bee Keepers," lives a quiet life as a beekeeper until his elderly landlady, Eloise, loses her life savings to a phishing scam and commits suicide. Driven by a personal code to protect the vulnerable, Clay embarks on a violent quest for vengeance, systematically dismantling the scam organization responsible, the Data Group, and drawing the attention of Eloise's daughter, FBI agent Verona Lincoln. Clay's actions escalate, leading him to confront Derek Evermore, the wealthy and corrupt businessman behind the Data Group, and Westwyld, an associate who activates another Bee Keeper, Anisette Landress, to eliminate Clay. As Clay infiltrates Evermore's heavily guarded compound, where President Dansworth, Evermore's mother, is present, Verona and her partner Wiley race to expose Evermore's criminal enterprise and prevent further bloodshed. Clay ultimately confronts Evermore, who kills Kelly Krane, and then Clay kills Evermore, disappearing before Verona can apprehend him, leaving behind a trail of justice and a shaken political landscape.

Dialogue examples

Therefore we now think that he believes that Derek Evermore is not the disease itself, but the defective offspring of a Queen. And because of that, instead of going for the defective offspring, he will instead strike at what he believes to be the heart of the problem - and become a Queen Slayer.

Verona Lincoln / Scene 48

Well listen to me Eric Garrett. Clearly this was a crime of passion. And passion indicates spur of the moment action. So what I highly suggest you do - is go into our server up in the cloud - and find out the last `deals' we closed - and who they were with. I suggest you start there.

Westwyld / Scene 8

You remember Kelly right? Well this whole chain of events? It got her digging. And she has some interesting things to say now about where the money that financed my last campaign may really have come from ...

President Dansworth / Scene 62

What is 'who' - doing with all this money? Which runs into the billions - that you've stolen from hard-working Americans who no longer have the means to protect themselves from parasites like you?

Adam Clay / Scene 37

They're the only witnesses. All the CCTV footage fried in the fire. Say some dude, maybe 40's, walks in with a pair of gas cans, pissed off about something, burns the place to the ground.

Wiley / Scene 10

I was gonna win anyway and we were already rich! We have over 50 companies! This was greed! This was overkill! Not to mention excessive and nauseatingly immoral you creep!

President Dansworth / Scene 72

Morality, Sir. He is - or believes he is - a moral force where and when the universe becomes immoral or unbalanced. He is the hand that corrects, not punishes.

Verona Lincoln / Scene 48

Yeah! Great! Mom! We can get into the who's holier than thou crap if live through this! The question is - what're you gonna do about this now!
