Ashby Page #3

We both know

there's no doctor's appointment, Ed.

So...

Where am I taking you, then?

Well, I thought

I might take you deep into the woods

and put a bullet in your head.

Ashby, I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean

to see anything. I'm really sorry.

You know what I am.

I won't tell anyone. I promise.

- I won't tell anyone.

- How do I know?

I know there's only one way I know

to silence a man.

Oh, Jesus! Jesus Christ.

- Don't blasphemy, Ed.

- Sh*t!

That's better.

Sh*t.

Did you tell anybody?

- Did you tell anybody?

- No.

- Any of your friends?

- I don't have any friends.

Ask anyone, I don't have any friends.

- Your girlfriend?

- No, now you're just mocking me.

Yes, I'm mocking you.

I'm not gonna kill you, Ed.

I've been on the bench for 12 years.

And, this is it, Ed.

I want you to promise me.

That you won't put any of this crap

in your report.

I promise you, I won't put

any of this stuff in the report.

- Swear to God.

- I'm just going to write a report

about a napkin salesman.

- Swear to God.

- I swear to God. I swear to God.

I want you to look at me and tell me

you swear to God.

Where do you want?

Where do you want me to look?

Right in my face.

Okay, I just...

- Look at my face, Ed.

- I just don't want you to kill me...

Okay.

- So say it.

- Say what?

Swear to God?

I swear to God I won't write about it,

that you are an assassin in my paper,

even though it'd make a better paper...

- Let's go have some pancakes.

- Than a napkin salesman...

Let's go have some pancakes.

Okay.

Thank you.

Ashby, how many people did you kill?

Kid...

This is really interesting for me.

I like history. You know, I like the past.

Why's that?

'Cause the present sucks.

I can roll with that one.

People my age think that history is

like Kim Kardashian's first marriage.

I would like to know stuff,

like, actual stuff.

You tell me,

I won't tell anyone, I promise.

Ninty-three.

What?

You killed 93 people, 93?

Was there an assignment?

Did they assign you a killing?

You work as a team.

I would execute the requests,

and they gave me assignments.

They give you a dossier?

No. You get a name, an address or two,

air ticket. That's it.

Wait, so you didn't even know why you

were whacking someone?

They were a threat to our country,

to our national security.

End of story.

Weren't you curious at all as to...

Didn't you look at some of the guys,

and be like, "Really?"

- No.

- I get it. You don't wanna get

emotionally involved.

The less you know, the better.

You just want him to be some,

back of a head,

just some anonymous guy

you can just...

You'll be like, bang!

I think you need to prioritize
