What makes someone take another person's life?

Most of us believe we could never do it.

What about in war, in self-defense?

You know, it seems to me that the capacity to kill is inside all of us,

given the right or the wrong circumstances.

Do you think you could kill if your motivation was sufficiently twisted?

Don't turn around. Give me your handbag.

That's great.

I'm meeting someone.

They'll be here any minute. Please, don't hurt me.

What's your name?

Judy. Glad you're telling the truth, Judy.

I like honest people.

Who are you meeting?

A man.

Why? Business.

Are you a prostitute?

Not that kind of business.

What then?

He's going to solve a problem for me.

He told me to meet him here. And how will you know him? Because I told him

what I would be wearing.

It's you.

You're Stephen Gaines. You're the man I found.

What did you do that for?

It could be anybody.

It could be a cop for all I know.

How'd you find me?

I asked around.

How'd you know who to ask?

Give me a bit of credit.

Okay.

Details? His photo's in my bag.

You've probably already seen it.

Recognise him?

Should I?

You never know.

How much damage do you want me to do?

Break an arm? Leg?

I could take out an eye if you want.

That's extra. I want you to kill him.

Can you afford it?

Five grand now, five grand later.

How long do you want him to suffer?

He's my brother.

Don't you want to know why I want my brother dead?

No.

You're paying me for a service.

Where can I find him?

I'll take you there. You got a car?

How long have you been doing this?

About five years or so.

But what made you want to do it?

Oh, it's fell into it.

I was working for a debt collector.

The bloke that usually did the roughing up was off sick one day.

I did a better job.

And you're good at what you do.

People hear about you, right?

You heard about me.

Yeah.

Don't you ever feel bad about seeing those people hurt?

Nah. Can't afford to.

So what are you going to do to my brother?

I mean, how are you going to do it? You've got a gun or something?

Yeah, I've got a gun.

Look, are you sure you want your brother killed?

I mean, I could just beat him senseless, you know.

At least that way you can still wheel him out at Christmas time.

But of course, that's a little bit more expensive due to the risk involved.

Risk? Dead men don't talk.

I wanted to kill him.

Lines you sure about that?

Sure.

Seems alright.

Shit.

Sugar.

Someone's put sugar in the petrol tank.

Tickets of fuel, blocks of lines.

Well, who would have done something like that?

Dunno.

Who would have done something like that?

What are you doing?

You talk and talk fast, baby, otherwise your brain's gonna be a part of my

paintwork. You're hurting me.

We'll put the sugar in my tank.

I'm going to count to five.

One, two, three.

I don't know why you would think it was me.

Because I've never had this problem before, that's why.

I've given you money. I want you to do a job. If you can't do it, I'll get

someone else.

Someone less paranoid.

I'm not paranoid.

I'm just careful.

Now, you watch your toe.

Otherwise, you'll lose it.

There's a towel mop, Fire. We need a mechanic.

Don't you ever wonder why?

Do you ever ask questions?

What about?

About why people want this sort of thing done.

Most people wouldn't tell me.

Why are you so interested?

I've never met anyone like you before.

Now that does not sound like a compliment to me.

It's a statement.

I don't like it.

What? Out here in the middle of nowhere.

Well, I thought it'd be better in an out-of-the-way place.

It doesn't work that way.

In the city, there's more confusion.

Out here, everyone that sees us is a witness.

Well, we could go straight to the house if you'd prefer.

Not without my car.

What's that?

It's Carter's.

No, no, no, no, what's that?

Off the road.

What? We don't want to be seen.

Why? Just do it.

It's okay, they're gone!

Ready?

Who are you talking to? The mechanic. He's on his way. What happened to you? I

came back onto the road and you were gone. No, no, no.

You were gone.

I came here.

No more calls.

Unless I say, okay?

I thought you wanted to come. No more calls!

Wait here.

G'day.

Is this your car?

Yeah.

You got here pretty quick.

Who's got the sweet tooth?

Your fuel line's had the Richard, mate.

Yeah, I know that.

Shame. You insured against vandalism?

Well, can't you fix it?

Sure. I'll have it ready for you tomorrow.

Bloody kids.

Don't get us in trouble around here, but if we do, I'll bury it pretty quickly.

Oh, I'm also the local police officer, in case you're wondering.

Just about to start my shift.

Judy!

Is that you?

Hi.

Come and give your old Uncle Billy a hug.

You must be the brother I've heard so much about.

Pleased to make your acquaintance. I'm not a brother. He's just a friend of

mine. He's doing some work for me.

What kind of work?

He fixes things.

He's fixing something for me.

Good to see a young bloke doing something constructive.

I'll have your car towed to town for you.

I suppose you two need a lift.

It's off.

I'm out of here.

Not until tomorrow.

Look, I didn't want to be seen by anyone, let alone a bloody cop.

And what's his crap? What, he's your uncle? I used to live around here.

He's practically family.

Where is your brother?

He's meeting me here.

What time?

Tomorrow morning.

Tomorrow morning.

Keep your eye on him. You'll take him by surprise.

What are you doing?

You know, nothing else has gone according to plan.

I'm just making sure he's not already here.

Don't you trust me?

You're not paying me to trust you.

See? No one's here.

Then what's tonight for?

Improvising.

Cheers.

I drink when I'm working.

Suit yourself.

One drink then.

What are we tasting?

New beginnings.

What are you gonna do with the body?

I mean, how are you gonna get rid of it?

That's included in the price, isn't it?

I think it's best you don't ask too many questions.

Just let me do my job.

Tricks of the trade, huh?

Something like that.

Relax.

It's good scotch.

Straight to the head and an empty stomach, though. Are you hungry?

When a prisoner's on death row, they usually give him one last meal, don't

they?

Sorry? My brother.

Do you think we should let him have one last meal?

I could tell him you're my boyfriend and then when we've eaten... No, I'd rather

just get it over and done with.

I'd like him to have a last meal. Well, I don't think I should be there.

Afraid you'll like him?

No, I just don't want to get talking to him.

You know, it's not professional.

I want it to be quick.

I don't want him to realise what's going on.

See, he might start talking and blubbering and... ..probably try and

defend himself.

And that can maybe get messy.

That is, of course, unless you want it to be messy.

No, you know what you're doing. I don't want to interfere. It's just... I want

him to die happy, you know?

Are you nervous?

You don't have to be here if you don't want to be.

I want to finish what I started.

You can

come if you want.

I thought you... Is that him in the van?

Yeah, I've made him something to eat.

So? I didn't know if you wanted sugar, but we've run out anyway.

No, it's fine.

So you ready?

Do you want a moment to drink your coffee?

No, I'm ready.

Okay.

I'll go get him then.

Yeah, I'll wait here.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Unless you want to do it while he's eating.

Yeah, he's facing away from the door. You could creep up behind him.

Buddy, it's fine.

How powerful's the gun?

Is it gonna make a mess?

We should lay some plastic down. I've got some in the cupboard.

Will one sheet be enough?

Yeah, yeah, one's fine. Then I got more.

Did you have a good time last night?

Yeah, I had a good time. Can we talk about this later? I just want to know

that you had a good time.

I had a great time, all right?

This is my brother.

I can't do this.

We had a deal.

You didn't tell me about this.

Just do it.

No way.

Why not?

This I don't do.

You do it.

Have you been born like that?

No. About five years ago, my brother was savagely bashed, leaving him

unconscious.

When he came to, he was like this. He went into rehabilitation, and for the

next four years, he worked with doctors, nurses, specialists.

People said he didn't have a chance. But I wouldn't let him give up.

I couldn't.

So I worked with him, day and night.

And slowly, he began to improve.

And what the doctor said would never happen was starting to happen.

You see, it was perseverance.

I couldn't give up on him.

I wanted him to be back to normal.

I wanted him to walk again. And I wanted him to talk.

He wanted to find the man that did this to him. So we started looking.

And we found you.

I hope you enjoyed your meal.

They say revenge is a dish best eaten cold.

Thank you.
