a bloody nose and tells her that life is
always hard
she asks him if she should get him some
milk from the store back at his

older daughter and ransacks the place
his men are scared of him too stan

tells them to toss the apartment
meanwhile matilda is in the store
getting groceries stand toys with a dad
while the little boy hides under the bed
the men are going through the apartment
and stan steps aside for a moment just
long enough for the dad to reach for the
gun and start shooting
one of stan's men freaks out and shoots
the whole place killing the boy
the dad runs but stan still gets him
when he sees that he got blood on his
suit
he follows him and empties an entire
clip in him the man waiting outside gets
nervous as he hears the shooting and
malki stops stan from shooting anymore
malkie steps outside and almost gets
shot by the other guy benny
matilda walks back into the building and
immediately realizes something is
happening
she sees that her dad is dead and hears
maoki say that they killed her brother
she rings leon's doorbell begging him to
let her in while one of stan's men
watches her struggle in front of the
door
leone hesitates but eventually opens his
door for her she goes into the kitchen
and he stays by the door
malkie sees that matilda is missing and
they look for her the man by the door
remembers matilda and comes to leon's
door
he follows him with his gun when she
turns on the tv scaring both of them
they find the drugs as the rest of the
cops arrive stan tells his man to tell
them that they were doing their job
leone expresses his condolences to
matilda about her family
but she tells him that they were all
terrible except her little brother who
she loved very much
he gets a pig oven glove from the
kitchen and tries to cheer matilda up in
a childish way
leon asks if she has anywhere else to go
and she says no
he gets some more milk when matilda
opens his case and finds his guns
when he comes back she asks if he's a
cleaner a hitman
he says yeah later matilda asks how much
it would take to hire him to kill the
men that killed her brother
and when she hears the price she offers
him a deal in exchange for working for
him he'll teach her how to become a
cleaner
leon says no but she tells him that she
has nowhere else to go
instead of arguing he tells her to rest
and they'll talk tomorrow
he tucks her into bed and she tells him
that he's been very good to her
in the middle of the night leon decides
to kill the girl when he reaches the bed
however he changes his mind
the following morning leon puts his
plant in the sunlight and does his
exercise
he hears matilda get up and tells her
that after breakfast she needs to leave
matilda hands him a note only realizes
that he can't read
it says that she's decided what to do
with her life matilda wants to be a
cleaner
leone gives her a gunness as goodbye
gift he works alone
matilda tries to convince him by saying
that since he saved her life
he's responsible for it leon tells
matilda that she's just a little girl
and that she won't be able to do it
matilda takes the gun and shoots out of
the window as proof that she can
later leone and matilda are seen walking
down the street
he stops and tells her never to do that
again because it's unprofessional
they get to a hotel the receptionist
asks if they plan to play the violin
there
so matilda lies and charms him into
saying that it's fine
he gives them some forms to fill out and
matilda grabs them saying she'll do that
so leon doesn't feel ashamed
leone leaves the plant downstairs and
joins her in the room
he goes through it checking it out
thoroughly then sits down as matilda
finishes with the documentation
she pleads with him again to teach her
how to be a cleaner sometime later
leon goes to talk to tony he asked him
to get a gun meant for beginners and
tony can't believe it
leon tells him he needs it to practice
later he opens the box with a rifle in
front of matilda
he says that the rifle is the first
weapon she needs to learn because it
will let her keep her distance from the
client
the closer she gets to becoming a pro
the closer she can get to the client
they find the right position for
practice he tells her to hit whomever
matilda peers through the scope and says
no women and no kids
she sees a man jogging and leone tells
her what to do he says now and she hits
the guy with a paintball
leone is impressed later matilda is seen
washing the windows in the dishes and
cleaning the guns
they do crunches together and leon makes
her drink milk at night
she sleeps in the bed and he sleeps in a
chair as always he wakes her early in
the morning to do more crunches
but she exercises with the same program
her sister did
she teaches leon how to write and he
teaches matilda to put a gun together
one day matilda thinks they need a break
and tells him they should play an
association game
she dresses up like madonna then marilyn
monroe then chaplin but leone has no
idea who they are
lastly she dresses like gene kelly and
leone finally gets it
for his turn he acts like john wayne but
she has no idea who he's supposed to be
matilda watches leone taking care of his
plan and comments that he really loves
it
he says that the plan is like him she
tells him that if he really loves it he
should plant it so it can grow roots
one day leone goes to see tony and asks
him if someday he can have the money
he's made over the years
tony thinks he's met a woman and tells
him that he has to be careful with women
he reminds him that he was in trouble
because of a woman before
leon says that he would like to give
some of the money to help someone out
tony agrees and tells him that his money
is there he should just ask
then he hands him a hundred dollars and
says they need to talk business
while tony's away leon sees matilda
talking to a boy and goes out to talk to
her
he scolds her not to talk to random
people on the street tells her to stop
cursing him to stop smoking
back at the hotel matilda tells leone
that she's falling in love with him
leon asks her how she knows and she says
that she feels it in her stomach
he tells her that it doesn't mean
anything and leaves for work he has a
teeny breakdown in the hallway but
quickly gets it together
matilda watches him go from the window
later she talks to the receptionist and
tells him that leon isn't her father but
her lover and leaves the man stunned
she goes to her apartment and sneaks in
behind the tape matilda takes her
brother's stuffed bunny and steps in the
outline of his dead body
she finds her dad's secret money when
she hears stan come in and hides
matilda hears him tell ya that her
father reached for the gun so he had to
kill him and that he didn't see any kids
the other cops tell him to cooperate he
says that if he wants them to cooperate
they should come to his office
matilda remembers the number of his
office she runs after him
gets in a cab and tells the cabbie to
follow the car
matilda finds out that stan is a dea
agent she's already back in the room
when leon arrives
he gives her a present when the
receptionist knocks on their door to
kick them out of the hotel
matilda and leone get another place he
takes a shower and stitches himself
up matilda pours him a glass of milk
hands him the money she got
and orders ahead on the men that killed
her family leon says he's not taking the
job and then he won't lend her his gear
matilda asks him why he's being so mean
to her and why he won't help her avenge
her family
leon says that revenge is never good
that it's better to forget
but matilda can't forget he tells her
that nothing is the same after you kill
someone
she'll have to sleep with one eye open
for the rest of her life matilda loads
the revolver and says that if she wins
the game of roulette he has to keep her
forever
leone tells her that she'll lose because
there is a round in the chamber
she puts the revolver on her temple and
says that she loves him but he grabs the
gun and it fires away from her head
matilda thinks she's one they go to see
tony together
leone says that he took a hit and needs
help even though matilda is young
she learns fast tony hesitates but tells
his busboy to get two glasses of milk
for them
leona and matilda go to do a job
together he teaches her how to tell
where the chain is
leon rings the bell and she starts
talking convincing the man to open the
door for her
leon breaks the chain and she comes in
after him he puts his gun in the man's
mouth and brings him along as he checks
out the place
when he sees that it's clear he tells
the man where to stand and tells matilda
that it's her turn
the girl puts her gun together and
shoots the man with a paintball
then delivers the second security shot
leone explains what each shot is for as
the man is confused about what they're
doing
he tells her never to shoot in the face
because they need to recognize the
client
leon shoots the man and tells matilda
how to take care of her silencer
before they leave she destroys the drugs
later they celebrate with champagne
matilda asks for a kiss but he says no
and tells her to sit down
she tells him she's in love with him
again leone tells her his first hit was
when he was 19.
matilda chugs a whole glass of wine and
laughs maniacally making leone super
nervous
they go to make another hit and another
perfecting their routine
when they reach one apartment leone
hears the man inside preparing a gun and
gets matilda out of the way
he tells her that when it's ugly like
that she should use the ring trick
leone chucks a grenade into the
apartment and shows her the grenade ring
the next day
leone goes to see tony by himself he's
nervous and sits down telling tony that
if something happens to him one day
he should give his money to matilda tony
says that he can count on him
later leone gets ready for a job but
tells matilda that he can't bring her
with him
because it's a big one he tells her that
he needs a moment for himself
sometime to grow up matilda is left by
herself
taking care of the plant watching tv
getting older
a few boys try to bully her but she just
gives them money and tells them to play
somewhere else
she's planning something matilda stakes
out stan's workplace and follows him
inside
she pretends she's taking food to his
office and signs into the building
without a hitch
matilda follows stan into the men's room
but he waits for her there
he orders her to put the bag on the
floor and tell him who sent her
matilda says she does business for
herself he asks if it's something
personal and she tells him that he
killed her brother
stan apologizes but asks matilda if she
wants to join him
she wants to live and he says that's
good because he takes no pleasure in
killing someone that doesn't want to
live
suddenly one of his men comes in and
tells him that malki is dead
the people he was making a deal with
told the guy that a pro killed malki
before the professional shot of me said
no women no kids
stan doesn't kill matilda and tells his
man to take her to his office
she realizes that leon killed malki when
leon gets back home he finds a note from
matilda saying that she's after stan
and that she's left money for a contract
to kill them if they end up killing her
she says she loves him again leon
quickly goes to the dea office to get
matilda
she's in stan's office with his men who
wonder what she would do with all those
guns
suddenly leon shoots them both and they
hug that night matilda puts on the dress
he got for her
leone likes it she sits next to him and
tries to seduce him
leon rejects her because he can he tells
her about a woman that he was in love
with back in italy
her father didn't want her to see leon
so he killed her the police let the
father go after two days
one night leon killed him and took a
boat to america since then he never had
another girlfriend
matilda says okay but makes him share
the bed with her leone sleeps in a bed
after a long time
later tony gets a visit from stan they
surround his restaurant
stan sits down and asks tony if he knows
who killed malki considering the hit was
on his territory by an italian looking
man
he also tells her about matilda and the
man who came to get her from his office
stan wants to meet him leon wakes up the
following morning
matilda asks if he slept well but he
answers that he always sleeps with one
eye open
she gets up to buy some milk and they
repeat the secret knock leon lies back
down
when matilda gets back stan is there
waiting for her a swat team grabs her
before she can get into the apartment
they ask her for the key and if there is
a way of knocking so he knows it's her
matilda gives them the wrong coat the
men knock on the door
get ready to storm the apartment and
inform stan they're ready to go
once they go inside they don't see leon

kills them
the others see that they're dead and
call it in stan turns to benny and tells
him to bring everyone

leon waits in the apartment and begins
shooting until he also gets hit
one of the cops takes a look at the
apartment and finds himself eye to eye
with leon's gun
he tells the others and they back away
leon tells them to let matilda go
she joins him and gets the axe off the
wall while he backs up
holding the officer hostage he shoots
the sprinklers and the other officers
think he shot their guy so they come in
shooting
killing him themselves leon shoots again
and they back away asking for
reinforcements
matilda apologizes as leone prepares for
the fight he saves his plant from the
incoming sniper fire
then they go into the other room the
police block out the hallway and leon
makes another way for them to get out
he shoots a hole in the wall and puts
matilda in there she doesn't want to go
because she knows he won't fit in there
too
leone tells her that he has lots of
money with tony that they will take and
leave together
meanwhile the police are preparing to
blow them up matilda is worried that
she'll lose him
but leon tells her that she's given him
a taste for life and he never wants to
be alone again
he convinces her to leave down the shaft
and tells her that he loves her
the police blow up the apartment but
thankfully leon survives
they get ready to go in when they see
someone raising their hand the man gets
picked up and taken down
leone managed to fool them into thinking
he's one of theirs and they get him out
meanwhile stan is pissed that they can't
find one man and a girl while matilda
gets out of the building
the medic is taking care of leon when
stan arrives and recognizes him
leon puts the mask back on and stan gets
all of the officers out
matilda exits from the back then walks
right by the cops leone gets downstairs
and is close to the exit when stan shows
up behind him and shoots him

if he's stan when he confirms it for
leon

says that it's from matilda
