Hitman 2.6 - Seventeen

Hitman: Seventeen

Genre: Action

Director: Francis Lawrence

Writer: Dwight Gallo

Based on the video game series

Cast: Ed Skrein, Charlotte Riley and Will Arnett

Plot: Agent 47 (Ed Skrein) is running away from a group of security guards following a successful contract in India. He rushes into a traffic-jammed street and enters a car. He holds a gun at the driver and tells him to act naturally. The security guards run past the car. When they are no longer within sight, 47 gives the driver a nod and exits the car and disappears into a crowded bazaar.

Agent 47 calls his handler Diana Burnwood (Charlotte Riley) and lets her know that the contract was executed as planned. She tells him good job and tells her that she may finally have a lead that could help them locate the man who presumably killed 47's friend Father Vittorio. She tells him to meet up with one of the Agency's CIA contacts in Australia as soon as possible.

Agent 47 touches down in Sydney, Australia. He sits down on a park bench near the Sydney Opera House. A moment later Agent Carlton Smith (Will Arnett) sits down net to him. Agent 47 is annoyed and immediately calls Diana. He tells her that Smith is incompetent. Smith interjects, but 47 ignores him. Diana assures 47 that the intel Smith has is good and should help 47 in his goals. 47 hangs up the phone, turns to Agent Smith and tells him this better be good. Smith tells 47 that Giuseppe Guillani, General Makarov, General Bardachenko, Masahiro Hayamoto and the Sidjan Twins were involved in the recent sales of some Cold War-era Russian nuclear warheads. Agent 47 says that's awfully coincidental. Agent Smith tells Agent 47 that there is one more name on the list: Sergei Zavorotko. Smith suggests that Zavorotko could be the one behind the contracts to tie up the loose ends. Agent 47 tells Smith that he is actually surprised how useful that information is and asks if he has a location on Zavorotko. Smith tells him Zavorotko is practically a ghost, but that he will do some digging.

As Agent 47 and Agent Carlton Smith are wrapping up their meeting, 47 is attacked from behind. 47 gets the attacker off of him only to find that the attacker looks identical to 47. Smith is confused and asks why there are two of him. 47 and 17 begin fighting with hand to hand combat. Agent Smith pulls out a gun, but isn't sure which bald-headed assassin is Agent 47. They continue fighting throughout the expansive steps outside of the Sydney Opera House. Smith yells that he doesn't know which one of them to shoot. Agent 47 yells at Smith to shoot them both. Smith shrugs and shoots both 47 and 17, sending them over a railing and into the ocean.

Diana Burnwood is watching a computer screen featuring Agent 47's GPS location. Suddenly the dot on her screen disappears. Diana fears the worst, that Agent 47 has been killed and called Agent Carlton Smith and demands to know what happened. Smith tries to explain that there were two Agent 47s and couldn't tell them apart so he shot them both. Diana is furious and hangs up the phone.

Plot: Plot: Otto (Ross Lynch) says hello to the now-pregnant Bible Becky (Beanie Feldstein), who simply looks at the ground and continues walking. Otto shrugs and walks down the hall with Wes (Logan Miller) and out of the building where they see Mr. Dickerson (Justin Long) talking to Teri Workman (Natalie Alyn Lind). Wes is surprised to see them and wonders aloud if Teri is Dickerson's latest conquest. They watch from a distance as Teri starts crying and Mr. Dickerson walks away from her. Wes says that it looks like Mr. Dickerson just ended things with her. Otto and Wes watch as Mr. Dickerson gets in his VW Beetle in the parking lot.

Mr. Dickerson VW Beetle is driving down the road when he is suddenly run off the road by another car - Otto's beat-up '68 Cougar. The Beetle crashes through a fence and down an embankment and into a creek. He gets out of the car and screams at the other car. Otto, as he speeds away, cranks up the Clash's "I Fought the Law". As he pulls onto his street he sees Uncle Elmo driving his lawnmower down the road. Otto waves to him. When Otto pulls into the trailer park, he sees several police cars blocking off the entrance. Otto panics and wonders aloud if Mr. Dickerson got his license plate number and called it in.

Otto pulls over and walks toward the trailer park. Deputy Steve (A.D. Miles) stops him and says he can't go into the trailer park. Ronny flipped out again, barricaded himself in his trailer and took his parents hostage. Deputy Steve comments that it's definitely the funny farm for Ronny this time. Sheriff Knapp (Shea Whigham) comes over and tells Deputy Steve to get out the megaphone so he can try to reason with Ronny. Knapp comments that the Ronny's parents don't keep guns around, but that Ronny is yelling that he has plastic explosive. Sheriff Knapp approaches the trailer with the megaphone and asks Ronny to come out. They can hear Ronny yelling that he doesn't want to watch "Hee-Haw". He yells that he wants to watch "Wonder Woman". Sheriff Knapp tells Ronny that he'll let him watch "Wonder Woman" if comes out willingly. There are several loud crashing noises. Suddenly, the door flies open and Ronny (H. Jon Benjamin) stands there completely naked, holding two wires that lead up his ass. Sheriff Knapp yells to Ronny that nobody wants to see that and asks what the wires are for. Ronny says that he has plastic explosive and he's shoved up his ass. One of the officers tackles Ronny from behind and cuffs him.

Deputy Steve goes and grabs Otto to tell him everything is safe now. Otto asks how Ronny's parents are doing. Deputy Steve says they're okay. Ronny had them tied up with lamp cords, but he didn't hurt them. Ronny's mom was a bit shaken, but Ronny's dad is watching TV with a beer like nothing happened. Otto asks what he's watching and Deputy Steve says it looked like "Wonder Woman". Otto asks about the plastic explosive. Deputy Steve pulls it out and says Ronny had shoved Play-Dog up his ass. Otto gets in his car and drives it up to his trailer now that everything has calmed down.

Miami Vice 2.6 - Shining Star

Miami Vice : Shining Star
Genre : Crime / Drama
Showrunner: Peter Berg
Writer : Roy Horne

Based on the television series

Cast: Josh Holloway, Taye Diggs, Andy Garcia, Julianne Hough, Jeremy Piven, Jessica De Gouw and Patrick Fischler

Plot:Fading country pop star Cassidy Davies (Julianne Hough) is meeting with manager Tommy Lowe (Jeremy Piven) at a beachfront bar. Lowe assures her that he has all the promoters in his back pocket and will pay stations to get her music on the air so that she can get back on the Billboard charts. Suddenly a Racketeering strike force moves in and arrests Lowe. As they lead him away, Cassidy gloats that she set him up to get back at him for all the musicians he's screwed over.

At OCB, Lt. Martin Castillo (Andy Garcia) informs Sonny Crockett (Josh Holloway) that he is taking him off of an illegal arms investigation so he can guard Cassidy until she testifies against Lowe since he should have the easiest time fitting in in the music crowd. Crockett is annoyed, but agrees to the assignment even though he feels it's all part of a publicity stunt on Cassidy's part.

Crockett heads over to Cassidy's penthouse where he first meets Cassidy's assistant Angie and then by Cassidy herself. After taking a look at him, Cassidy immediately begins vocally doubting Crockett's ability to keep her safe. Crockett says he's fought in a war and been a cop for a long time, so protecting a spoiled pop princess will be a cake walk. Meanwhile, Lowe tries to get the record executives on the phone, but they refuse his calls.

Crockett takes Cassidy to a recording studio, where they continue butting heads. Meanwhile, Lowe meets with his lawyer Ralph Fisher (Patrick Fischler), who advises him to convince Cassidy not to testify in court. Lowe asks how that would work, and Fisher offers to have some people make Cassidy disappear, but it won't be cheap. Lowe hands over an envelope of cash and tells Fisher to have them make it look like an accident.

Cassidy gives Crockett a hard time about his fancy clothes, car and boat, but Crockett informs her that it is all part of his undercover role. He's just a regular working man, not some whiny celebrity. Cassidy takes offense to the comment and says she isn't like the image the magazine and TV project of her. Crockett is paying the bill when the men Lowe hired arrive and start shooting up the place. Crockett hoots one of them and pulls Caitlin into his Ferrari, with the other two men in pursuit. Crockett has Cassidy hold the wheel, and he leans out the window and shoots at the men in pursuit, killing the one in driver seat as the passenger bails from the car. Crockett then drives the car to the marina.

On Crockett's boat, Cassidy is shaken up, but she is unharmed. She tells him that she has to testify against Lowe. Crockett asks her if she's willing to risk her life to do so. Cassidy says she is. She and her band put their faith in Lowe to manage them, but he got greedy and began stealing money from them and slowly broke her band apart. Her drummer killed himself, her guitarist left to join a cult, and the bass player and former boyfriend sued Lowe, but wound up end of an apparent suicide shortly thereafter. She believe Lowe had him killed, but can't prove it, so testifying against Lowe is her only recourse. The two realize they were wrong about each other and begin kissing. Tubbs (Taye Diggs) and Castillo arrive at the marina and see Crockett and Cassidy kissing. Tubbs pulls Crockett aside and calls him out on his inappropriate actions. Crockett reminds Tubbs that Castillo told him not to let Cassidy out of him sight.

Crockett describes his lifestyle situation to Cassidy: the job, divorce, kid, all-night cases, etc. She is surprisingly not detered. Cassidy tells Crockett that she works all night sometimes too, and she likes kids. Lowe gets a text informing him that the hit failed. He then gets into his car and starts the engine. Lowe's car suddenly explodes. Tubbs calls Crockett and tells him that Lowe is dead, so the case is over. Cassidy tells Crockett that she doesn't want them to end just because the assignment does.
