LEON:

Bull's-eye.

Mathilda is happy but, evidently, she expected death to be

more spectacular.

LEON:

Come on, now a walking one.

Mathilda aims at a businessman. She really chooses the

ugliest one. She shoots. Man's case explodes and he hides

behind a tree:
he's scared and doesn't move any more.

LEON:

Good! First shot!

MATHILDA:

Yeah, but I didn't get him, I got his

case and now he's behind the tree. What

can I do?

LEON:

It's not serious, it's just training.

You have to learn from the beginning to

hit the target, then, to improve

precision, you'll train, but on

cardboards.

MATHILDA:

OK.

LEON:

Now, try a running guy.

Mathilda gets back to telescope and looks for a jogger.

MATHILDA:

The yellow and pink.

LEON:

OK.

The guy is footing, sweaty, with a walkman and headphones.

Mathilda shoots once. Twice. Thrice. The bullets pass around

the jogger, who can't see or hear anything.

MATHILDA:

Sh*t! It's hard when he runs!

Leon hands her another charger.

LEON:

Don't lose him! Concentrate. There,

reload. OK, keep calm. Calm, breathe

deeply. Look at his movements. Imagine

you're running with him. Breathe... Hold

your breathe... His movements... Now...

She shots and the guy gets a bullet in a thigh. He's scared,

but doesn't know where to go.

MATHILDA:

Did you see? First shot! It's good,

isn't it? Did I learn well?

Mathilda proudly smiles.

LEON(serious and steady)

Put tools away.

Mathilda obeys, seriously.

Night over city. The two are on a small building's stairway.

LEON:

Codes!

Mathilda gets by his side for her new lesson.

LEON:

For codes, there are two solutions. You

have to choose depending on your needs.

First case:
you have time. You need the

code for a later time. So, you wait for

night, you get a box with soot powder and

blow a little on the keyboard. He does

it and pulls out a screwdriver.

LEON:

Then you break the little lamp to be

sure the client can't see anything. You

wait for someone who gets inside, so you

have just to see which numbers he

touched. Once you know the four or five

digits, you have to try all combinations;

once per hour and not more than a minute

to do not get found.
