  1. The Things We Protect
  2.  
  3.  
  4. INT. MICK'S BAR - DAY
  5.  
  6. The bar is almost empty with a couple of people inside.
  7.  
  8. KELLY, (mid-60s) stands behind the counter and wipes off the
  9. counter in front of him.
  10.  
  11. KELLY
  12. What can I get you, son?
  13.  
  14. In front of him, SARAH FLYNN, (late-20s) sits there and
  15. smokes a cigarette. She puts her lit cigarette into an
  16. ashtray and looks at Don. Sarah shoots Don a grin.
  17.  
  18. FLYNN
  19. I knew you were in town.
  20.  
  21. DON
  22. I was just leaving actually.
  23.  
  24. Don's eyes widen as he looks at her. He does an about face
  25. and turns around, only for the door to open. James walks
  26. through the door.
  27.  
  28. James looks at Don. His face brightens.
  29.  
  30. JAMES
  31. Doc, holy fuck!
  32.  
  33. James hugs Don as Don holds his arms out. Don pats him on the
  34. back and shoots a nervous grin. He tries to turn and position
  35. himself in front of the door.
  36.  
  37. Sarah grins at the bartender and puts up two fingers, then
  38. shoots another glance back at Don.
  39.  
  40. James lets go.
  41.  
  42. JAMES (CONT’D)
  43. Where the hell have you been man? I
  44. know you gave me the number and
  45. all, and I heard you were in town,
  46. but-
  47.  
  48. Don motions for him to simmer down.
  49.  
  50. DON
  51. Easy now. Yeah, I work out here
  52. now.
  53.  
  54. JAMES
  55. Come on, let me buy you a damn
  56. drink.
  57.  
  58. DON
  59. I think the nice lady over there
  60. beat you to it.
  61.  
  62. James glares at Sarah.
  63.  
  64. JAMES
  65. (muttering)
  66. Thot.
  67.  
  68. DON
  69. Be nice.
  70.  
  71. Don walks over to a bar stool and sits between Sarah and
  72. James.
  73.  
  74. KELLY
  75. What'll it be?
  76.  
  77. DON
  78. Shot of Jay-mo.
  79.  
  80. He looks over at Sarah.
  81.  
  82. DON (CONT’D)
  83. Funny how things go. One second
  84. your ex-wife has you working as her
  85. undercover pet, and the chick you
  86. banged two weeks before your
  87. divorce who also almost carried out
  88. a hit on you just happens to be in
  89. town.
  90.  
  91. With his right hand, Don reaches into his waistband for his
  92. Colt Defender and places his hand on it.
  93.  
  94. DON (CONT’D)
  95. Funny how the world works isn't it?
  96.  
  97. Kelly slides a shot glass in front of him.
  98.  
  99. SARAH
  100. For all intents and purposes,
  101. you're already dead you cunt.
  102.  
  103. DON
  104. That a threat?
  105.  
  106. Don's eyes widen as he takes the Defender out of its holster.
  107.  
  108. James reaches for Don's right hand.
  109.  
  110. Sarah just rolls her eyes at this.
  111.  
  112. SARAH
  113. Really now? Is this amateur hour to
  114. you?
  115.  
  116. Don lets his sidearm go and takes a sigh, then pushes James's
  117. hand away.
  118.  
  119. Don looks over at James.
  120.  
  121. DON
  122. It's fine, don't fucking
  123. worry about it.
  124.  
  125. SARAH (CONT’D)
  126. You've been on a few
  127. adventures, haven't you now
  128. lad? Jumpier than usual now.
  129.  
  130. Don downs the shot of whiskey in front of him.
  131.  
  132. DON (CONT’D)
  133. You wouldn't believe me if I told
  134. you.
  135.  
  136. Don sighs.
  137.  
  138. Sarah puts her hand on his back which causes Don to flinch
  139. and look at her with fear in his eyes.
  140.  
  141. SARAH
  142. Whatever it is, I've probably heard
  143. worse.
  144.  
  145. Don gives a glance to James.
  146.  
  147. DON
  148. Miller's involved too you know. It
  149. damns both of us.
  150.  
  151. Don downs another shot.
  152.  
  153. JAMES
  154. How long you been sober for?
  155.  
  156. DON
  157. Three years.
  158.  
  159. SARAH
  160. Sobriety, is it that thing men lie
  161. about when they want to feel better
  162. about themselves rather than having
  163. the self-control to stop
  164. themselves?
  165.  
  166. James scratches his head and shakes it. Don looks over at
  167. Sarah and shoots her a glare.
  168.  
  169. JAMES
  170. Fucking CIA niggers, how far deep
  171. did they get you?
  172.  
  173. DON
  174. My daughter's trying to piece it
  175. together. Worst case scenario, she
  176. ends up dead. Best case, we both
  177. do. The less she knows the better.
  178.  
  179. James nods at this.
  180.  
  181. SARAH
  182. You sound like my father you dumb
  183. cunt. Then he had the courage to
  184. throw a bomb at the fucking British
  185. when I was only a wee lass. Didn't
  186. tell no one and died without a
  187. proper burial.
  188.  
  189. She downs a pint of Guinness.
  190.  
  191. DON
  192. What's that gotta do with this?
  193.  
  194. SARAH
  195. Tell that girl what's going on or
  196. she'll do nuthin' but resent you
  197. for the rest of her poor life.
  198.  
  199. DON
  200. Wonderful, I'm getting advice from
  201. a serial killer now too, in that
  202. case.
  203.  
  204. Don slides the shot glass over to Kelly.
  205.  
  206. SARAH
  207. You're no different than I am, only
  208. difference between you and I are
  209. what side of the law we're on.
  210.  
  211. The shot glass comes back to Don.
  212.  
  213. DON
  214. Really? Because-
  215.  
  216. SARAH
  217. Your people say it's okay to do it
  218. and so do mine, Donovan.
  219.  
  220. Don sits there, whiskey in hand.
  221.  
  222. DON
  223. So why am I still in your presence
  224. and breathing?
  225.  
  226. SARAH
  227. Because my boss and I had a falling
  228. out over your sorry arse.
  229.  
  230. Don just shrugs.
  231.  
  232. DON
  233. You should've just let him whack
  234. me, maybe then my wife-
  235.  
  236. SARAH
  237. Ex.
  238.  
  239. Don rolls his eyes.
  240.  
  241. DON
  242. -Ex-wife would've been a shit ton
  243. richer.
  244.  
  245. He downs another shot of whiskey.
  246.  
  247. SARAH
  248. With that girl havin' some scumbag
  249. for a father? Some kid out of
  250. college? Is that what yer lookin
  251. for?
  252.  
  253. DON
  254. It'd be a better fucking father
  255. than me! Y'know? All I know how to
  256. fucking do is-
  257.  
  258. Don massages his eyes and pushes his glass forward.
  259.  
  260. DON (CONT’D)
  261. Then I got Dutch fuckin' Van Der
  262. Linde, the man with the plan right?
  263. I'm supposed to somehow believe
  264. that if I follow his guide that
  265. we'll both be absolved of our
  266. fucking sins.
  267.  
  268. Conrad walks through the door. Don glances over.
  269.  
  270. DON (CONT’D)
  271. Howdy Dutch, what plan do
  272. you have now?
  273.  
  274. Conrad looks over at Don. He walks over and smacks him upside
  275. the head.
  276.  
  277. CONRAD
  278. Really? After four fucking years
  279. this is what you're down to?
  280. Drinking your sorrows away with
  281. your retarded friend and a...
  282.  
  283. He looks over at Sarah. She shoots him a wink.
  284.  
  285. CONRAD (CONT’D)
  286. ...Irish chick that I'm definitely
  287. fucking later tonight...
  288.  
  289. Sarah grabs Don by the crotch. Don's eyes widen and a grin
  290. shows on his face as he spills some of his whiskey on
  291. himself.
  292.  
  293. SARAH
  294. Sorry, not too big a fan of greasy
  295. men.
  296.  
  297. James looks away from this with a pained groan.
  298.  
  299. Conrad gives a pained look as well. He puts his hands up.
  300.  
  301. CONRAD
  302. Crazy bitch is all yours, Paulsen.
  303.  
  304. Sarah lets go of Don's crotch and looks at him.
  305.  
  306. SARAH
  307. And who might you be?
  308.  
  309. CONRAD
  310. This retard's co worker. Conrad.
  311.  
  312. She nods at this.
  313.  
  314. SARAH
  315. Donny boy said you had a plan.
  316.  
  317. CONRAD
  318. Well, we did however...
  319.  
  320. Conrad shrugs and takes a seat.
  321.  
  322. CONRAD (CONT’D)
  323. We have a bit of an overbearing
  324. boss.
  325.  
  326. SARAH
  327. Need me to take care of him?
  328.  
  329. Conrad shakes his head.
  330.  
  331. CONRAD
  332. Doubt you'd be able to even if you
  333. wanted to.
  334.  
  335. Don looks over at Conrad.
  336.  
  337. DON
  338. She could pull it off, though we'd
  339. have the heat on us in no time.
  340.  
  341. CONRAD
  342. Cho tried. Pointed a nine milimeter
  343. at his skull while he was looking
  344. away.
  345.  
  346. Conrad sticks up one finger to the bartender.
  347.  
  348. CONRAD (CONT’D)
  349. I'll take what Paulsen here's
  350. having.
  351.  
  352. He motions to Don.
  353.  
  354. CONRAD (CONT’D)
  355. Anyway right?
  356.  
  357. He puts his fingers in the shape of a pistol.
  358.  
  359. CONRAD (CONT’D)
  360. Fired a volley right into his back
  361. from his wheelchair. Pulled a
  362. Beretta from under his desk, fired.
  363. Should've hit his spine. I'm
  364. sitting right there. Next thing you
  365. know-
  366.  
  367. He shakes his head and looks down.
  368.  
  369. CONRAD (CONT’D)
  370. His back literally closes itself
  371. back up like it didn't even happen.
  372. Now, the holes in his clothes from
  373. the rounds are still there but Cho?
  374. He fired about some... Fuck, he
  375. dumped a whole mag into the dude's
  376. back from a sitting position at
  377. five feet.
  378.  
  379. Conrad downs a shot of whiskey.
  380.  
  381. CONRAD (CONT’D)
  382. Matthews, the motherfucker. He
  383. turns around, pulls Cho out of his
  384. wheelchair and just chokes the
  385. fucking life outta him, gives him
  386. this cold glare and I swear I heard
  387. him say, "I gave you your chance."
  388.  
  389. JAMES
  390. An entire mag of nine? Well maybe
  391. if he used .45-
  392.  
  393. DON
  394. Shut up, James.
  395.  
  396. SARAH
  397. Sounds like a load of shite if you
  398. ask me.
  399.  
  400. She puts another cigarette in an ash tray.
  401.  
  402. SARAH (CONT’D)
  403. And you're telling me he wasn't
  404. choking blood or nothin' like that?
  405.  
  406. Conrad nods.
  407.  
  408. The group sits there in silence.
  409.  
  410. Don downs one more shot. He reaches into
  411.  
  412. Sarah grabs his leg.
  413.  
  414. SARAH (CONT’D)
  415. Yer not gonna just leave a girl
  416. like this are you?
  417.  
  418. DON
  419. I got a fuckin' kid to take care
  420. of, Flynn.
  421.  
  422. Sarah gives Don a grin.
  423.  
  424. SARAH
  425. You'll come around.
  426.  
  427. Don steps back and looks at her. He shakes his head.
  428.  
  429. DON
  430. No, I won't Sarah. That was a one
  431. time thing.
  432.  
  433. SARAH
  434. Doesn't have to be.
  435.  
  436. Don takes out his wallet and passes the bartender some cash.
  437.  
  438. DON
  439. I'd rather it be.
