シーン１３

[Leon turns away and screams; in that moment the big weapon is fired, the explosion knocks him down to the floor]

 

["The Fight (part 4: One Is Alive)"]

 

STANSFIELD: [to the walkie-talkie]

「Hey, heyeyey, what the fuck is going on up there? I just said take the guy out, not the whole fucking building.」

 

[Swats with gas masks storm the apartment; find wounded Leon, disguised as one of them; pick himup, lead him down the stairs past hundreds of Swats; sits down]

 

SWAT

「You're okay?」

[Leon nods]

「Hey, I need a medic over here!」

 

ANGRY SWAT: [to the walkie-talkie]

「Open your fucking asses! Squad number one, what's the status on the apartment?」

 

ANOTHER SWAT: [from Listening Swat's walkie-talkie]

「Can't see shit, too much smoke in here, give us five minutes to clear it up.」

 

LISTENING SWAT:

「Okay, you got it.」

 

STANSFIELD:

What what what you're 200 men and you can't find one man and a girl?! Did you find the girl?!

 

[Mathilda arrives at the end of the air shaft]

 

MEDIC:

「Hi, how're you doing? Take the mask up, quick. Let me see you. That's deep. Right. This one here.」

 

ANGRY SWAT:

「You're from the third precinct?」

 

LEON:

「Yeah.」

 

[is discovered by Stansfield]

[Mathilda runs through a narrow passage]

 

MEDIC:

「You sit here for two minutes, I'll be right back.」

 

LEON:

「Let me put the mask back on, I breathe better with it.」

 

MEDIC:

「Okay, you're right. Sit here.」

 

STANSFIELD: [in a hallway leading outside, to the policemen]

「Okay, come on, everyone out! Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go! Come on, out!」

 

[Mathilda comes out on the street]

["Two Ways Out"]

[Leon goes away]

[Mathilda walks past the policemen]

 

POLICEMAN:

「What're you doing here? Get out, get out!」

 

[Leon hesitates in front of a group of policemen blocking the way]

[Mathilda walks on]

[Leon walks down the stairs, reaches the empty hallway, takes off his mask, his eyes fixed on the exit; Stansfield appears behind him; aims; shoots]

[Mathilda escaped, now runs to Tony's]

 

LEON: [lying on the floor beneath Stansfield, dying]

「Stansfield?」

 

STANSFIELD:

「At your service.」

LEON: [puts something in his hand]

「This is.. from... Mathilda..」

 

[dies]

 

STANSFIELD: [opens his hand, finds a grenade pin; discovers Leon's equipment]

「Shit.」

 

[big explosion]

 

[at Tony's; Mathilda with a glass of milk, still crying]

 

TONY: [with bruises in his face]

「Leon asked my to help you out if.. if something happened. And I think something happened, right? He put on the side a little cash for you. So, what I'm suggesting is that ah, seeing as how you are still so young, I should hold the money for you, you know, 'till you're older. Like a bank, you know, except that it's better than a bank, because, you know, banks get always knocked off. No one knocks off old Tony. But it's.. it's your money, and in the meantime all you gotta do is come here every once in a while, and I'll dish it out so that you can have a little fun, okay?」

 

[puts some money on the table]

「Here's a hundred bugs to start with.」

 

MATHILDA:

「Can't take any job instead?」

 

TONY:

「A job? What the hell can you do?」

 

MATHILDA:

「I can clean.」

 

TONY:

「I ain't got no work for twelve year old kids, so get it outta your goddamned head! It's over, the game's over, Leon's dead! You hear me!」

 

[which makes Mathilda cry again]

["The Game Is Over"]

 

TONY:

「Come on. Come on, do you think I ain't hurting, too?」

[Mathilda turns her eyes back to him]

「But he's dead. And you gotta forget all this craziness, and get your little ass back to school, capiche? Now take this money and get the hell outta here, and don't let me see your face 'till next month, for something tells me I'm about to lose my famous kind streak.」

 

[night; sadly walks through the streets; looks out of the Roosevelt Island Tram]

 

[in the office of Spencer School]

 

MATHILDA:

「My parents.. died.. in a car accident four weeks ago. It was terrible.」

 

HEADMISTRESS:

「You know we didn't have the time to get to know one another when you first came here, but.. I want you to know that I am not kind of woman that let down a child, whatever her situation, whatever her mistake. So I'm going to help you and do my best to welcome you here again. But on one condition. You have to stop lying to me, Mathilda. I want you to take a chance, and trust me. Now tell me, what happened to you?」

 

MATHILDA:

「Okay. My family got shot down by DEA officers because of a drug problem. I left with the greatest guy on earth. He was a hitman, the best in town. But he died this morning, and if you don't help me, I'll be dead by tonight.」

 

[as she comes out of the school she walks past a group of girls sitting on the stairs]

 

GIRL: [to her friends]

「You know her?」

 

OTHER GIRL:

「No, never seen her.」

 

[Mathilda finds a nice place for Leon:'s plant; digs a hole, puts it into it]

MATHILDA:

「I think we'll be okay here, Leon.」
