Kane & Lynch: Dead Men

Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a cooperative action game developed by IO Interactive and published by Eidos Interactive. The game depicts a violent and chaotic journey of two men — a flawed mercenary and a medicated psychopath — and their brutal attitude towards right and wrong.

Kane

• [Letter to Jenny] Dear Jenny, I've been trying to write you this letter for fourteen years. Today's my last chance. This afternoon I will pay for my mistakes with my life. It's only fair. As you know if you've read the papers, my life as a mercenary and all the pain I've caused, most of it is true. I should regret it all, I should be scared of dying, but I'm not. I can't anymore. The only feeling I have left is regret, regret that I'll never get to know you. You are all that matters. Sorry I never understood. Your father, Kane.
• [Beating Mute to death after Mute killed his wife] YOU SHOULD.. HAVE LET.. ME TALK TO THEM!
• Look I'm gonna be doing some things she shouldn't see. So you just shut up and help me carry my wife.
• Those ain't exactly ulcer pills are they?
• I've owed you this for a long time. And I pay my debts, to the penny.
• Some things shouldn't be rushed.
• Fuck! That old fucker took it!
• [Repeated line to his daughter] Jenny I wrote you a letter.
• [Over his wife's grave] I'm so sorry...I'm sorry it ended like this, and I'm sorry I couldn't just die. But I swear. I'll find them all before they find Jenny. I'll kill them all before they even look at her.
• [to Lynch] Nobody gets away with what you just did!
• [Repeated line] "The fuck I did!"

Lynch

• [Repeated line] Like you're a fuckin' saint.
• [Slaughtering hostages in a psychotic episode] You want some, I'LL FUCKING GIVE YOU SOME! GODDAMN SON OF A BITCH! Fuck, get away from me. Why do you keep doing that. Stupid fuck...WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT? IS THAT ALL YOU GOT! Stop, you're only faking it! Fake this, UNDERSTOOD!
• THERE YOU ARE, YOU FUCKERS! DON'T BE SO FUCKING QUIET!
• All I can say is that I'm probably not responsible for my wife's death. More than you can say right?
• Look my wife was murdered five years ago. Back then I didn't do shit about it. I'm not gonna make the same mistake again. I wanna kill em as much as you do.
• Don't fuckin' patronize me!
• Fuck, I hate heights, I can't believe we're going through with this..
• [About Kane getting his daughter killed] Asshole, you shoulda taken that chopper! It was your only chance, just deal with it. Didn't even fucking know her.
• [Over radio] Oh there you are, thought you could sneak up on me! Stupid fuck, I already killed you twice! STOP DOING THAT!
• Fuck you preacher boy, you don't know shit!

Elder Brother

• You betrayed us Kane, you left us behind and ran with it all.
• You know I have to kill you, but I'm offering you a chance. Bring it all back and I'll let them go.
• I treated you like a son.
• You're old and slow. You're just gonna get her killed. Just like you got her brother and her mother killed.

Rific

• Grimley and Madsen got fried last year!
• So you finally snap and kill that shit of a little brother?
• These clothes suck.. I mean, I just got out of prison!
• Sounds like they're getting slaughtered down there.
• Hello Kane, didn't figure you'd break in here just to kill me.
• Kane we're trapped in the church up the hill, if you can hear me get us out!

Shelly

• [About his religion] I don't know it must be a death row thing. Either way it doesn't matter, I want out.
• [About Lynch] I know of him. He killed his wife and did a real nasty job of it too.
• Who made YOU the boss, wife killer?
• Fuck Kane, he ran with the load...son of a bitch!
• Kane I heard you, "I don't give a fuck about the men, just shut that thing off and drive". Don't worry you're gonna die here too.
• Fuck you Kane, I owe you nothing. You're on your own. That fucking boat is mine.

Carlos

• I'm sorry Kane, but you know we can't bend the rules.
• I'll see to it they're buried somewhere nice...Goodbye old friend.
• Easy there, crazy boy.

Dialogue

Lynch:Mr. Kane, wake up. Mr. Kane!

Kane: What?

Lynch: I need you to cover your head.

Kane: What did you say?

Lynch: Just cover your head NOW! [The truck they are in is hit.]

Lynch: You okay? You got shook up pretty bad. [Kane lunges at him]

Kane: What the fuck is going on?

Mercenary: I strongly advise you to do as your fucking told.

Kane: And who the fuck are you to talk to me like that?[Mercenary breaks Kane's nose]

Mercenary: Your glory days are long gone old timer, and stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Younger Brother: Kane, I've been waiting for this moment for four years.

Kane: I thought you were all dead.

Younger Brother: I should fucking cut you up right here and now.

Kane: Yeah, why don't you?

Elder Brother: Oh rest assured we will. You betrayed us Kane. You left us behind and ran with it all.

Kane: The fuck I did.[Younger Brother brings him to his knees]

Elder Brother: Kane we don't have time for this. We have both your wife and your daughter.

Kane: You got what? I don't believe you, I wanna talk to them!

Elder Brother: SHUT UP! I tell you what to do! You know I have to kill you, but I'm offering you a chance. Bring it all back and I'll let them go.

Lynch: Name's Lynch.

Kane: Yeah, and what's the phone for?

Lynch: I'll be reporting back to them every morning and night.

Kane: Great, a fucking watchdog.

Lynch: If I don't call em back with good news they'll start with your wife.

Kane: Not unless you do exactly as I say. Let's see what they left us in the car.

Kane: Alright, grab the rope. I'll show you how to rappel.[Lynch takes some pills]

Lynch: I fuckin' hate heights.

Kane: What are they for?

Lynch: Nothin' serious, it's just for my stomach. Been taking em since forever.

Kane: Just pick up the damn rope.[security guards enter the building] Fuck!

Lynch: Where did they come from?

Kane: They must've heard the shots.

Lynch: Great, just what we need. Still wanna rappel down?

Kane: Of course not. We take the stairs.

Kane: You're hands are shaking. I thought you sobered up.

Vaultbreaker: I did, but that shit never really leaves you.

Vaultbreaker: You got a keycode? You're stealing your own shit?

Kane: Not your concern.

Vaultbreaker: Not my concer- not my fucking concern?!

Kane: [on seeing the locker empty]Shit, it must be here.

Vaultbreaker: This is bullshit!

Kane: We gotta open them, open them all.

Vaultbreaker: Look I always trusted you...

Kane: [lunges at the Vaultbreaker] Then don't fuckin' question me, just blow all of them!

Vaultbreaker: Okay, okay you fucking prick. But after this you and I are done.

Kane: Lynch, how's everything going up there?

Lynch:[Over radio] So hot in this goddamn gas mask. I got it under control!

Lynch:[Kane and the vaultbreaker find Lynch killing hostages] You want some? I'LL FUCKIN' GIVE YA SOME! Goddamn son of a bitch, fuck...Get away from me. Why do you keep doin' that? Stupid fuck...WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT? Is that all you got?!

Vaultbreaker: Jesus Christ, he killed the hostages! How fucked is that?

Lynch: Stop you're only faking it! Fake this, UNDERSTOOD!

Kane: Lynch cut it out, they're no threat!

Lynch: What are you a fuckin' joke?[To Kane] What where the hell have you been?

Police on megaphone: YOU ARE COMPLETELY SURROUNDED, NOW COME OUT HERE WITH YOUR HANDS UP.

Kane: Hey stop killing hostages!

Lynch: I'm not!

Kane: Snap out of it, Lynch!

Lynch: "Snap out of it", what the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Lynch: That was great, we got away!

Kane: Great? What the fuck happened back there?!

Lynch: I told ya, the gas mask was hot and I-

Kane: So you kill everyone?!

Lynch: Listen to me, it was really warm, I couldn't see. And the police were everywhere... I'm telling you they were swarming!

Kane: But why did you kill the hostages?

Lynch: Why? What do you mean? They were waking up, they wouldn't stay still I just tried to stop them.

Kane: Don't fuckin' talk to me! You just get your shit together, you hear me?

Lynch: Well at least we got away.

Kane: Nobody gets away with what you just did!

Kane:[Afte Lynch collapses during a highspeed pursuit/shootout] What are you doing? Get up here and help!

Lynch: I can't...

Kane: What, now you suddenly can't kill cops?

Lynch: No I mean... fuck, what happened back there?

Kane: You mean you don't remember?

Lynch: Aw oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, why do I always fuck up?!

Kane: Lynch, I need your help here snap the fuck out of it!

Lynch: How many did I kill?

Kane: More than you wanna know.

Lynch: Dammit! I have black outs, I get violent and it gets so fucking horrible afterwards! I thought could control it but I can't, I can't. [Takes his pills] Just need a few of these.

Kane: Those ain't exactly ulcer pills are they?

Lynch: We could've gone to the hotel first. Twelve hours on a fuckin' plane, my neck is killing me!

Kane: Stop bitching, we still got a long night ahead of us.

Lynch: "Bitching"? I'm not bitching, I just hate being ignored. Could you at least tell me why you think she can get the briefcase or you don't know?

Kane: Just do as I say and we'll get it. And keep it down.

Lynch: Hey you still answer to me you arrogant fuck! [to bouncer] Relax, I've got nothing.

Lynch: You're right, I already hate this place. All these rich spoiled brats...

Kane: Her office is down the back, just do your best to blend in. If she find out I'm here it's going to be hell getting to her.

Lynch: She won't even see you? Oh, that's just great.

Kane: Look Lynch, we've been through this conversation over and over again. Just stick to the plan!

Lynch: This place is stressing me out.

Kane: Then take your pills!

Lynch: Took the last one on that damn plane; I hate flying.

Kane: Argh, you idiot! Just keep in check for a few more minutes.

Lynch: I fucking hate people sweating on me... where's her office?!

Kane: Up the stairs, now shut up!

Lynch: Oh, you're so fucking full of yourself...

Yoko: Kane! What are you doing here?

Kane: Please, take it easy.

Yoko: I'm surprised to see you, did my security let you in?

Kane: I let myself in.

Yoko: Does my father know you're here?

Kane: I'm pretty sure he doesn't.

Yoko: So what made you come crawling back?

Kane: Yoko, I need your help here.

Yoko: And why would I help you?[Lynch approaches]

Yoko: You wouldn't.[Lynch punches Yoko out cold]

Kane: That's enough.

Lynch: Whoa, she's all limp. I didn't even hit her that hard.

Kane: Just makes our job easier.[throws Lynch a roll of duct tape]

Lynch: What's this for?

Kane: Just business, Lynch. Her father has the briefcase.

Lynch: [after picking up an unconscious Yoko] You had this all planned, didn't you? You fucking psycho!

Kane: Let's just get her out of here.

Lynch: For Christ's sake, you just got your own daughter kidnapped.

Yoko: Do you know who I am?

Kane: Lynch, shut her the fuck up!

Lynch: Where's the goddamn duct tape?

Yoko:[Yoko knees Lynch in the groin] I'm Retomoto's daughter you fuckhead!

Lynch: Aw fuck!

Kane: Come on we have to get to her.

Lynch: Retomoto?! What have you made me do? Why didn't you tell me who she is?

Kane: Because you would flake out if you'd known.

Lynch: "Flake"? I wouldn't have done it if I knew!

Kane: Now just get a grip we have to get a hold of her!

Lynch: I have to give you that, you got some balls.

Kane: What?

Lynch: Dealing with Retomoto... Hanging with his daughter and all, did ya bang her?

Kane: Fuck you, we all make mistakes and so what?

Lynch: Nothing.

Kane: Then just back off! I'm a little fuckin' edgy all right?

Lynch:[Over radio] Kane you see anything yet? I can't see shit.

Kane: Not much, it's pretty dark. You just keep looking.

Lynch:[Over radio] Yeah, yeah I'll keep looking.

Kane: Keep calm, Lynch.

Lynch:[Over radio] The fuck do you mean by that? I am calm.

Kane: Retomoto, I was hoping to see you in person.

Retomoto:[Over phone] Mr. Kane I don't have the patience for your blackmail.

Kane: You don't have a choice, you know I'll kill her.

Retomoto:[Over phone] I do, but if we took the time to sit down and find a solution-

Kane: I don't have time.

Retomoto:[Over phone] Kane relax, I'm aware of what happened between you and The7. I know about your daughter too.

Kane: ...I'm listening,

Lynch:[Over radio] What's going on down there?

Kane: Lynch keep quiet.

Retomoto:[Over phone] You may find it hard to trust me, but there is a way we can solve this.

Kane: What's on your mind?

Lynch:[Over radio] Don't fuckin' negotiate, just get the damn briefcase!

Retomoto:[Over phone] Kane we've done business before, I think in this case we have some common interests. We both stand to gain if we get rid of The7.

Lynch:[Over radio] I'm serious just do as I tell you and don't fuck around!

Kane: Lynch shut up!

Retomoto:[Over phone] Is there a problem?

Kane: No, no problem...

Lynch:[To Yoko over radio] Stand still you bitch!

Kane: ... Just give me a second, [To Lynch] Lynch, calm the fuck down!

Lynch:[Over radio] Damn girl just won't stay still. STAY DOWN!

Kane:[Gunshot is heard over radio] LYNCH! Retomoto don't!

Kane: What happened up there?

Lynch:[Over radio] Shit I just tried to stop her.

Kane: Is she dead?

Lynch:[Over radio] Uh I don't know... I guess so. I was aiming for her legs.

Kane: Aw Fuck! You fucking idiot! I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE YOU! WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH YOU?

Younger Brother: Sure you did. Hey don't get me wrong Kane, I'm fuckin' thrilled it turned out this way.

Kane: If you just give me a little more time. You don't have to involve my family, please they don't even know me.

Elder Brother: Kane stop, I can't listen to your pathetic excuses anymore. You failed, that's all there is to it.

Kane: Carlos, help me here.

Carlos: There's nothing I can do for them.

Kane: That's a fucking lie!

Carlos: I'll see to it that they get buried somewhere nice. Goodbye old friend.

Kane: Wait, you're leaving?

Carlos: We're flying to Havana tonight, it's already begun. Mute will take it from here. Your family will arrive here in an hour.

Kane: Do I get to talk to them?

Carlos: Of course you do.

Lynch: Yeah, like you can fuckin' believe that.

Younger Brother: Fucking bum![Younger Brother kicks Lynch in the face knocking him out]

Lynch: Looks like the rest are running away.

Kane: Yeah but you never know. Keep me covered. I need to talk to my daughter.

[Kane approaches his daughter and his wife's corpse]

Kane: Are you hurt? Look at me. Are you okay? It's gonna be fine. I'm sorry...

[Lynch hears something in the distance]

Lynch: Kane,

Kane:...I promise, no one will hurt you. What happened back then... I wrote you a letter.

Lynch: Kane!

Kane: What?!

Lynch: Listen.

Kane:'[To Jenny] Jenny you can't stay with me. It's too dangerous. Just run!

[Jenny drives away]

Lynch: Sure that was a good idea? Sending her off like that?

Kane: I didn't have a choice did I?

Lynch: Well I don't know...

Kane: Look, I'm gonna be doing some things she shouldn't see. So you just shut up and help me carry my wife.

[Kane and Lynch have just buried Kane's wife]

Kane: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry it ended like this and I'm sorry I couldn't just die. But I swear I'll find them all before they find Jenny. I'll kill them all before they even look at her. [Kane takes out a notebook]

Lynch: What's that?

Kane: A list of dead men, just like me. Disowned and ruined by The7. They want revenge and no one else is going with me.

Lynch: I should be on that list too.

Kane: The fuck you should. You don't want revenge, you just wanna live.

Lynch: You self centered shit. I'm not letting you outta my sight until The7 and Retomoto are dead.

Kane: Well I don't know if I wanna-

Lynch: Deal with it. Listen, my wife was murdered five years ago. Back then I didn't do shit about it. I'm not gonna make the same mistake again. I wanna kill em as much as you do.

Kane: Your choice, get in. The men we need are only an hour away.

[After raiding Retomoto's board room]

Kane: I've owed you this for a long time. I pay my debts...To the penny.

[Kane gives Retomoto a facial scar like his own before slitting his throat]

Lynch: Come on, you're the one talking about keeping momentum and shit.

[In the middle of a civil war in Havana, Cuba]

Lynch: Oh fuck, oh fuck, OH FUCK! My ears are bleeding! I CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE OF THIS SHIT!

Kane: Just get on your feet! We're moving in NOW!

Lynch: NOW! You're gonna get us all killed, you idiot!

Kane: I don't give a shit! As long as we get the7!

Mercenary: Didn't expect you this soon, old timer.

Lynch: Old timer?

Kane: I know that voice. It's that motherfucker who broke my nose!

Kane: That serum I made for you helping any?

Lynch: Not really, just makes me care less.

[Kane and Lynch find Jenny in the hands of The Brothers]

Younger Brother: Kane, step back. One false move and we'll kill you.

Kane: Let her go.

Elder Brother: What's wrong with you? Look what you're putting your little girl through. And your old friend, Carlos.

Kane: Leave her alone!

Younger Brother: "Leave her alone." Do you hear that? That's Kane's favorite solution.

Elder Brother: Leave it and flee.

Lynch: [Whispering] Kane, the mine.

Younger Brother: How about you take some resposibility for once, you fucking quitter!

Kane: If you touch her I'll kill you.

Elder Brother: No you won't. You're old and slow. You're just gonna get her killed. Just like you got her brother and her mother killed.

Kane: I did not kill them!

Younger Brother: Now didn't you ? You know Jenny here,she hates you for all you've done. She knows you're guilty.

Kane: Jenny don't listen to them, I love you.

Younger Brother: She even says she wants you dead.

Elder Brother: Goodbye Kane. It happens to all traitors eventually.

Kane: No! Not in front of her... [Kane shoots Carlos' landmine, killing the Elder Brother]

[Kane has killed the Younger Brother and his men, saving Jenny]

Kane: Jenny, are you alright... Baby, let me hold you.

[Jenny sticks a gun in Kane's face]

Jenny: Get the fuck away from me, you murderer!

Kane: What? But why...

Jenny: I said get the fuck away!

Kane: Jenny I'm your father!

Flashback Dialogue

Young Jenny: Daddy,

Kane's Wife: It looks beautiful. Yeah I see it.[To Kane] Stay close to me. I love you.

Kane:[Gunshot] Fuck what have I done? I can't believe I let this happen. What the fuck is wrong with me?!

Kane's Wife:[To Kane's son] Honey? Sweetheart?

Kane: WHAT THE FUCK IS THE MATTER WITH ME? How could I let this happen?

Young Jenny:[We hear a gun being cocked and Kane's son laughing] You better put it down.[Gunshot]

Kane's Wife: NO![We hear Kane and young Jenny crying.]

Kane: Wait, WAIT![Gunshot, we hear a woman screaming]

Doctor: We did everything we could sir, I'm sorry.

Kane's Wife: What's with you? How could you bring a gun at home? You promised, you fucking promised me!

Kane's Wife: Kane listen to yourself, you're losing it.

Kane: I'm sorry it ended like this.[We hear a dial tone]

Younger Brother: Just finish the bastard!

Kane: Sorry old friend...[We hear a knife slashing and a man screaming] I'll miss you.

Carlos:[Heavy gunfire over radio] Kane you fucking cabron we need backup NOW!

The7's Getaway Driver: Kane, you fucking traitor, you are not getting away with this.

Kane: I'm not a traitor! I didn't steal it and I didn't leave them behind. I just got away.

Younger Brother: You can become one of us, Lynch. All you have to do is watch his every move. And when he's dead, you get his seat.

Anna Lynch: I hate this! It's ruining our lives!

Lynch: Annie, I'm getting better. These pills seem to be working much better.

Lynch: Annie, I'm home. Annie? Annie wake up...Honey wake up. Oh god don't do this to me! Oh god no! Goddamn you god NO, no!

Younger Brother: And when he's dead, you get his seat.

Children in Lynch flashback: "Ring around the rosies, a pocketful of posies. Ashes, ashes we all fall down."

Lynch: I'm not saying I'm a bad prisoner or anything. I just got sick, that's all that happened. My friends and family started to turn their backs on me.

Kane : I swear, I'll find em all before they find her.

Jenny : Daddy...

Kane : I'll kill em.
