[music playing]

Mankillers

Boys, boys, easy
with the hardware.

Johnny's my friend.

Johnny, Johnny, it's
good to see you.

How's everything?

Cut the bullshit, Minetti.

You got the stuff?

Of course, I've got the stuff.

That's part of the deal, right?

I trust you got my
merchandise, yes?



First I see the stuff.

Now.

OK, Johnny, OK, you can see.

But you won't touch till
I see my merchandise, hm?

It's all there, Johnny,
10 pounds, 96% pure.

It's first class stuff, the
best Columbia has to offer.

Don't you ever touch me again.

I told you it was the best.

Now I hope what you
brought me is the best.

Beautiful, we'll take them all.

Just go over there and
get me the briefcase,

and they're all yours.

Hey, boss, these
guys are feds.

I know.



Hey, Hey, runaway.

Don't worry, she's mine.

Let her run.

Any news?

No, not a word.

Senator Langley's been
on my case all morning.

He wants to hold a
damn press conference

and make an announcement that
the operation is a success.

What an asshole.

Mr. Wheeler's office.

Just a moment.

It's Columbia.

Mr. Williams.

What the hell's
going on down there?

What?

Damn.

Bastard got us again.

He killed four more
agents and another girl.

Oh, Frank.

They were the best we had.

Wrong, Mickland
was the best we had,

before he went over
to the other side.

And that's why we can't stop
him, because he was one of us.

Damn it.

He knows the agency too well.

He knows how we operate,
and he knows how we think.

How do we counter that?

With someone who knows him
better than he knows himself.

Someone who's just
has crazy as he is.

Oh, no.

No, Frank, you don't mean--

McKenna.

Oh, Frank, you're
asking for trouble.

I know, but maybe trouble
is just what we need.

Where is she?

Nice place you have here.

Shut the fuck
up, got the stuff?

It's right there in the bag.

First, I see the money.

Let me the smack.

What the hell is this?

Freeze you fuck.

Drop it.

Anybody else?

What the hell
kind of cop are you?

Shut up.

The money.

Get the money!

Go on!

Drop it!

Pleasure doing
business with you.

You're ripping us off.

You're not going
to make it, cop.

Come on!

Get in the car!

Faster, faster.

You don't have to do that now.

It's over.

Let's get the
hell out of here.

Drop the gun.

Drop the gun.

You used me.

I let you talk me in to
this, and you used me.

You bastard.

You're breaking
my heart, baby.

I love you.

Dumb bitch.

[music playing]

That's funny, she was
here just a second ago.

Where the hell did she go?

Who cares?

It's a waste of time
anyway, if you ask me.

Shit.
- What the hell.

Do it, and your dead meat.

Take it easy,
McKenna, we're friends.

I'll decide that.

Who sent you?

The agency.

I'm not interested.

Williams wants to see you.

I said I'm not interested.

Take your partner.

And go tell William,
the next time

he sends somebody
out there, they're

going to come back in a bag.

It's important, McKenna.

You're not listening, Mr.

Jesus Christ, Joe,
listen to her, will ya?

- Good advice, take it.
- It's about Mickland.

Why me?

You kicked me out of the
agency once, remember?

You're the best
one for the job.

You must really be
desperate if you're

willing to trust me again.

Trust has little
to do with it.

The last time you
saw Mickland, you

were laying in the
middle of the road

with a bullet in your chest.

I figure you want a crack at
him more than anyone else alive.

What do I get out of it?

Name your price.

I'm not one of
your hired killers.

What then?

A chance to rejoin the
agency at my former rank

with a clean record.

That can be arranged.

You pull this one off, I might
even throw in a promotion.

That's not all, Williams.

I hand pick my own team.

I get to call the shots.

No interference.

You know we don't
operate that way, McKenna.

You will this time.

Take it or leave it.

OK, I'll go along this time,
McKenna, but only this time.

I'm going to
need a team of 10--

no make that 12--

of the best I can get.

No problem there.

I'll have Joan work up a
list of our available men.

No, I want women.

It's got to be women.

How the hell are
you going to pull

this mission off with women.

Don't give me that.

Women are more
effective in the field.

You told me that once yourself.

Sometimes, you really
try my patience, McKenna.

May I remind you that we're not
discussing normal operations.

We're discussing John Mickland.

Exactly, and if I
know Mickland, and I do,

the last thing in the
world he'd expect is women.

You got a point there.

I'll grant you that.

We don't have 12 women trained
for this type of mission.

We never have.

If I supply them,
will you agree?

Well?

All right, where you going
to find these kind of women?

Oh, I'll find them.

But you have to get them out.

Get them out, get
them out of where?

[music playing]

All right, ladies, slide down.

Form a line facing us.

All right ladies,
you heard her, move it.

That's you.

Cooperate with me and I can
get out of here in two hours.

Lose the gum.

Lose it.

Kiss my ass.

[snickering]

Whoa.

Come here.

Come here.

Let me talk to you.

GROUP: Ooohhh!

(WHISPERING)
You straighten up,

or I'm going to kick
the shit out of you.

Get back in line.

Any the other smart ass
want a piece of that action?

My name is Racheal McKenna.

What we're talking
about is taking

part in a covert operation.

You'll learn more about it when
I think you ready to learn it.

For now, all you need to know
is if you live through this,

if any of you do, you
have a damn good chance

of getting a full pardon.

You'll train day and night.

And I can promise you, I'll
get your butts in shape.

Each and every one of
you will obey my orders.

And don't forget, there's
a cell or an electric chair

waiting for you right here.

You cross the line
one time, you try

something stupid,
like an escape,

and you get shipped
right back here.

That is if I don't put a bullet
in the back of your head first.

Anybody want out?

Now's the time.

Door's open.

Your cells are waiting for you.

Come on, line it up.

Keep it moving.

Come on.

Take a good look girls.

This is home for
the next four weeks.

Better get used to it.

[music playing]

Hey, Jake, what
you got good today?

See for yourself.

Check out these honeys.

Uh-huh, they are sweet.

Hey, when you going
to give me one of these?

Just as soon as you
can pay the price.

Right.

Come on, give me a hand.

[screams]

Come on.

You better go easy
with that shit, Mickland.

Mind your own
fucking business.

All right, man, all right.

What the hell is this, Jake?

On such short notice,
the best I could do.

The best you could do.

I need 10 girls by
the end of the week.

Hey, you want more
girls, the price is double.

Don't fuck with me, Jake.

I finally found a group that's
ready to make a big deal,

the one who's going to get
me out of this slime hole,

and you're going
to stick it to me.

You don't
understand, my friend.

Girls are expensive, you want
more, the price is double.

Don't ever do
this again, Jake.

Now, get out of here.

Thanks.

[crying]

Bruno.

Yeah, boss.

Take these two
out, clean them up.

Come on, girls, Party time.

Hey, Jake, stick
around for the fun.

Not this time.

I got work to do.

Suit yourself.

[music playing]

Shh, be good.

And you can stay here with me.

Pig.

Fall in.

Fall in.

Fall in.

Get those asses out here now.

Hurry up, you
assholes, get in line.

You've been in
prison for too long.

You're lazy and you're soft.

First order of business
is to get you in shape.

Sergeant, start the day with
a forced march, 5 miles.

5 miles?

Are you crazy?

Sergeant, make that 10 miles.

That sucks.

15 miles.

Compliments of prisoner Rosetti.

[music playing]

It's hopeless.

Give them time, Sergeant.

Give them time.

Never been so
tired in my life.

This mission should
be a piece of cake.

Girl, I heard that.

Just what the hell do
you think you're doing?

I'm getting out of here.

Are you coming?

I don't think you understand.

What?

You ain't going nowhere.

The hell I ain't.

What happened here?

She just slipped
on a bar of soap.

Better watch it, Rosetti,
looks pretty unhealthy to me.

Take her back to the bunkhouse.

Get her cleaned up.

Go on.

You saved my life, why?

Because that's what
being a team is all about.

Try to remember that, huh?

Oh, Frank, have you
heard from McKenna yet?

No, you know how she is.

If I want to know anything, I'll
have to go out there myself.

If I were you,
Frank, I'd terminate

the entire operation, before
it blows up in your face.

Well, Joan, it's
gone this far,

I might just as well see it
through to it's completion.

It's your neck Frank.

That it is.

But it's not stuck out there
quite as it as it seems.

Meaning?

Meaning, I've got
an ace up my sleeve.

I've given her an inch.

I finally got a man on the
inside of Mickland's operation.

You sound confident, but
it might not be enough.

Well, it'll have to do.

It's all the help
I can give her.

Hey.

Bring him inside.

Who sent you?

Who sent you?

Tell me who sent you, or I'll
hack your fucking leg off.

Don't.

William sent me.

William.

Why, who you studying for?

McKenna, McKenna, an
agent named McKenna.

You're a liar.

I killed McKenna years ago.

It's the truth you bastard.

It's the truth.

[music playing]

Take over, Sergeant.

All right, Rosetti.

You're up first.
Front and center.

That was very nice, McKenna.

I see you still
got what it takes.

We have to talk.

We had a deal, Williams.

No interference.

I've got to move
up your timetable.

Why?

Because I had a
man on the inside,

but there's been no contact
with him for over a week now.

I assumed that he was discovered
and killed by Mickland.

You stupid bastard.

Hey, I was trying
to give you an edge.

This operation was supposed to
be on the element of surprise.

How much did he know?

Very little.

But enough to put Mickland on
the defensive if he talked.

You can bet he did.

Christ, why didn't you
just send a telegram

and tell him I was coming?

What's done is done.

Now, you've got to move out
of here before we lose him.

How soon can you be ready?

I need at least another
three weeks with the girls.

I can knock it down
to two if I have to.

You've got to move out sooner.

You've got to move
out in 12 hours.

But that's not possible.

We're not ready.

Make it possible.

12 hours.

OK, ladies.

Fall in.

At ease.

I just got the word, we're
moving out tomorrow morning.

You ladies have done
one hell of a job here.

You really have.

For what it's worth,
I'm proud of you all.

You've become a team,
a damned good one.

I hope you all come back.

[music playing]

Freeze right there.

You put your guns
down real slow,

just like nice little girls.

Move it, right now.

Lets' get the
hell out of here.

Two down, 10 to go.

Mickland, Mickland.

What the hell happened to you?

They're coming, man.

I swear to God,
they're all coming.

What?

The women, they're all women.

Where the hell's the
rest of the patrol?

They're all dead.

What you talking about,
dead, for Christ sake.

You're going to stand there and
tell me that a bunch of women

killed my men?

Yeah.

And you ran away from women?

Get Bruno, and the of the men.

We're going out after them.

You coming, Jake?

Hey, you know I love a party.

[music playing]

Jesus Christ, boss.

What the hell is this?

Well they sure did a
job on your boys, Johnny.

- Come on.
- No, come back.

Damn idiot.

Say hello to Bruno, girl.

Leonardo, circle around
and get in position.

In exactly 10 seconds, I'll
take out the man on the left.

You got the other one.

Use your knife.

Move an inch and you're dead.

Well if ain't Rachael McKenna.

After all these years,
I thought you were dead.

I bet you did.

This time, you're
going to die.

No, you are.

What the hell?

Get up.

Let's go.

[music playing]

Fucking slut.

Now you listen to me.

I want you to say that
you want me to fuck you.

You got it.

No.

Say it, say it,
please fuck me, Jake.

- Please fuck me, Jake.
- What?

I can't hear you!

Please fuck me, Jake!

You cunt.

I wouldn't dirty myself on you.

Sorry, baby, you just
don't make the grade.

Come on.

Hey, make yourselves
comfortable.

If any of you douchebags
need anything,

just ask for Uncle Bruno.

Why take prisoners?

Why don't you just kill
them and get it over with?

Because I'm not stupid.

That's not stupid,
that's smart.

They're soldier,
Jake, nothing more.

They've been sent here
on a mission to kill us.

But they lost.

Killing them won't
change a thing.

There's plenty more
where they came from.

Plus, we have to find
out what the agency knows

about our operation,
then kill them.

You're not going
to make them talk.

Oh, I've got ways Jake.

I've got ways.

It's good to see
you again, Rachael.

No, I mean it.

Is just good to see you.

Don't con me, John.

No con.

It's just good to see you.

There was a time when it
was different between you

and I. It could
be that way again.

And more money than
you ever dreamed of.

Hey, this is Johnny, remember.

Fuck you.

How much do you know?

How much do you know?

Your life is over.

So what the hell are
we going to do now?

- Yeah, what about it.
- I don't know.

I'm thinking, I'm thinking.

And I'm thinking too.

If McKenna's dead, then
we're out here all alone.

We don't know if she's dead.

Then where the hell is she.

They should have
been here by now.

If she ain't dead,
she's been captured

How do you figure?

What is this then?

Dead or alive, she ain't
no damn good to us now.

Yeah, well, I think
we should all just

turn our little butts around
and get the hell out of here,

every girl for herself.

Yeah.

I heard that.

You got my vote.

Wait a minute.

Wait a minute.

What the hell you
guys talking about?

If McKenna's been
captured, she's in trouble,

and she needs our help.

Who cares?

Nobody is going to help us.

Yeah, she knew what
she was getting into.

I don't believe
what I'm hearing.

Well, you just better
believe it, baby.

Just because she
saved your ass once,

doesn't mean the rest of us
got to die trying to save hers.

Because she never
done shit for us.

She can do anything
for you, huh.

She didn't do anything but take
you out of that stinking hell

hole called a prison.

How many years you
have left, Thompson?

45.

And you Rollins, 30, 40 years.

And what about you
Daniels, life, wasn't it.

Rachael McKenna took
us out of that place

and don't you forget it.

Sure, so we could
come out here and die.

What the hell's the difference.

She gave us the chance when
nobody else in this world

would.

A chance to be the
best at what we do,

and use it for something
that really matters.

A chance to respect ourselves.

That's the difference.

Now that woman is
out there someplace,

and she needs our help.

And by God, we're going
to give her, all of us.

And anybody who
thinks differently

is going to answer to me,
right here, right now.

That goes for me too.

I'm in.

OK, where do we start?

[music playing]

This is just for you.
You're dead.

All right girls,
let's move it.

Stay here, we're
going back in.

All set up.

Still got three more to go.

You've got two
minutes to get done

and in position, that's
when I make my move.

Got it.

Here, I'll take care of him.

You move on.

You're going to
love this, baby.

And you're going to love this.

You fucking bitch.

Stay here and cover me.

Right.

Can you make it?

Yeah, I can make it.

Everything's set, let's go.

Let's go my ass.

You ain't going nowhere.

Say goodbye, ladies.

Run, hurry.

[music playing]

You're going to be OK.

Give me the [inaudible].

I'm going back in
to finish this.

The rest of you stay put.

I'm going with you.

No, you're not.

Just try and stop me.

This is my battle.

I've got to fight this alone.

Maybe next time.

Yeah.

[music playing]

Mickland!

It's all over Mickland.

Drop it, Mickland.

You can't kill me.

You know you can't kill me!

[music playing]

Bitch.

Your life is over, Mickland.

Come on girls, let's go home.

[music playing]

[music playing]
