Flatland (2002): Season 1, Episode 2 - Aurora - full transcript
- Do not dwell in the
past,
do not dream of the future.
Concentrate the mind
on the present moment.
My name is Smith.
Welcome to Flatland.
- When I first met the
devil, his name was Khan,
mine, Saint Michael.
The war for the soul of mankindhas raged for 3000 years.
The battleground today is
Shanghai.
I have forced three young
Americans to work for me.
JT, a gang banger, Mr.
Mitchell, a failed mob lawyer,
and Amy Li, a beautiful young
woman.
They will ultimately discover
the history
when present and past collide,
and where one misstep on eitherside
of the fourth dimension is
fatal.
In the world of Flatland,where nothing is as it appears.
My name is Smith.
Welcome to Flatland.
- Our skill, Mr. Jagger, is
investing
in low construction of 10%.
Now what is this?
- It's a new offer.
- For the whole company?
- You staying on as a
consultant, partner.
- You think you can
just walk into Shanghai
and take this company that my
father
and his father before
him built out of nothing?
No, Mr. Jagger.
I don't need a partner.
- Hey hey, wait a minute,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
- What?
- I don't want a partner either.
- Hold on, let me call you back.
- Hold on, let me call you back.
Who the hell are you, and
how'd you get in here?
- Timeless.
Kinda reminds me of a
place I used to work.
- That's real nice.
Now answer the question.
Name's Noel, Noel Jagger,
and I used the door.
Does that bring you up to speed?
- Yeah, right up to speed.
Throw him out, and make it hurt.
- Now is that necessary?
Your name is Leon Jessup,
from Fort Worth, Texas.
You run narcotics, you sell
illegal arms,
and occasionally you
kill people for money.
Sounds a lot like me.
- Who the hell are you?
- We already did that.
I want you to find the
old members of council,
the ones that haven't
been killed or captured.
Tonight at 10, have 'em here.
Cha International has a new CEO.
Me.
- Where the hell is everybody?
This boat's usually jammed.
- We got her.
Miss Chicago.
- Yeah, she's really chatty.
I spent half the day
looking for dead bodies
in the morgue to find
her, and she shows up here
with a hi, "I'm Amy."
- An interesting article in here
about the cardinal who's in
town.
Says he's gonna say mass.
- Yeah, well mass is gonna be
for Smith
if he doesn't show up here
pretty soon.
I mean, where is he?
He said here, right, on this
boat.
- He's busy.
- He's busy?
He's busy while stand out here
in the middle of this river?
You know what sweetheart,
you can tell him from me--
- Smith does the telling,
you do the listening.
- Not anymore, 'cause the game
is over.
- He's right.
Coventry's dead.
Our work here is finished.
- Well for somebody who
doesn't talk very much
she seems to have a very
firm grasp on the situation.
It is over, and I'm going home!
- I'll help you pack.
- No, there's still lots of work
to be done here in Shanghai.
Someone will replace Coventry.
- Maybe.
Maybe not.
- Someone will come.
- Good, a new leader for the badguys
calls for a new group of
good guys to fight 'em.
- You're here, all three of
you, under Smith's discretion,
and you'll stay here until
he says you can leave.
Better find a new place to live.
- Same here.
- What?
You guys are staying?
- Man, I got some unfinished
business.
It's kinda personal.
- Well, two outta three ain't
bad.
- You're all staying.
- You know what, this is a
crock!
Smith can't hold me to somejob that never ends, all right?
- You'd be amazed at what he can
do.
- You're looking for a house.
- Yeah, but Uncle Charlie Wong
told me
to look in this area, so I did.
- Good.
Come look.
- Hello.
- You startled me.
- My apologies.
- Who are you?
- I'm the new owner.
And you?
- I used to live here.
The man who owned this house.
- He died, I heard all about it.
You knew him?
- Yeah.
- Name's Noel, Noel
Jagger.
I'm new here to Shanghai.
Here opening up my Asian
division.
- Division of?
- Investments mostly.
- Real entrepreneur, huh?
- Yeah, well I figure
you do a little of this,
a little of that, people
really can't figure out
what you're good at.
The company's called Cha.
- Oh, the root word for China.
I like that.
- You like this place?
- I do.
It has some memories.
- Why don't you keep it?
- You mean stay?
- As long as you'd like.
Frankly I bought this place on alark.
Practically stole it.
And I doubt I'll ever come heremuch,
it's yours more than it's mine.
- I couldn't.
- Yes you could.
Besides, I need somebody here
to keep an eye on this place.
- Are you always in the habit of
handing out extravagant gifts?
- Yes.
Yes I am.
But only to very beautiful
women.
This will seal our agreement.
We'll talk about the
terms of the lease later.
- Hi, my name's Mitchell,
Quentin Mitchell,
and I have a reservation
for New York City.
Window seat first class
and I'm outta here.
Is there a problem?
- Sorry sir, the problem is yourpassport.
It's invalid.
- No, that's not possible,
it's only three years old.
- I'm sorry, it's no longer
valid.
- The hell it is, let me
speak to your manager.
Yeah.
- Looks like you could use a
drink.
- I'm outta here, dammit.
- Where, New York?
The Tonelli brothers will
be very happy to hear that.
They may meet you at the
airport, they may even
give you a car, I wouldn't
step on the gas pedal.
- So I'll make a deal.
- Oh, sure.
What'll it take to keep you
here?
- More than you got.
- Try me.
- The fairy tale.
A penthouse decorated to my
taste.
A car, brand new, maybe a 50,000a month,
credit cards and expense
account, how's that?
- Done.
Yours.
- You serious?
- I'm dead serious.
- What's at 1714 Seely Plaza?
- Amy Li, for one thing.
- The Chicago chick from the
boat.
- Woman.
- No thanks, I work alone.
- All right, penthouse,
car, checking account.
Done deal.
By the way, your negotiating
skills
are a little rusty, counselor.
- How's that?
- Well you could've asked for
revolving options, incentives.
Escalating bonus plan, life
insurance.
You're a cheap date.
Would you like a quervo
to go with that cerveza?
- We're beginning again.
Better finance this time,
better plan, better led.
And operations, they'll be
under my direct control.
- We never heard of you, Mr.
Jagger.
Coventry never mentioned you.
- It was meant to be that way.
And that's for everyone's
safety.
- How do we know if we're safe
with you?
- You don't.
But I can tell you one thing.
Our enemies got close because
we had a Judas in the ranks.
Traitors come in all kinds.
Do you wanna know my favorite
kind?
- Clean that mess up.
- Two olives.
To a new beginning.
Like so many others.
The light comes and goes.
Like life followed by death.
It comes to us all.
As it will for the prince of
peace.
The prince of peace must die.
- Meeting's over.
- Yeah, but where was it?
- 10th floor.
- How'd you know that?
- Been watching
this place for two days.
- Why?
- You ask a lot of questions.
Let's do this.
- Maybe when this is all
over I thought we could--
- What?
Get together, couple of
drinks, talk about life?
- Yeah, something like that.
- I don't think so.
I'll go in the back.
Just in case.
- How'd you get in here?
- I flew.
- You are full of hidden
talents.
And where did you get that?
- My mother gave them to
me.
And yours.
I'll take the other office.
Two minutes.
- Yes ma'am.
- Okay, this way.
- I'm sorry.
- Hey you, what
are you doing here?
- This isn't my floor.
Run!
The doors!
- Freeze!
Stop, police!
Stop or I'll shoot!
Get him!
- Are you okay?
- I've been shot!
- Man, let you loose
in the city for one day
and you get shot.
You do have a way with people,
Mitchell.
Was it a jealous husband?
- No!
- Well at least you got shot inthe butt.
Coulda been worse.
If you know what I mean.
- Yes.
Oh, hi.
Of course.
How did you get this number?
- Oh, I have my ways.
- I guess you do.
- Of course I'd love to see youagain.
- All right.
I know the place.
Sure, we'll go over
the terms of the lease.
See ya.
- An old friend?
- Actually a new one.
- Is he cute?
- I'll tell you later.
- Is it serious?
- Actually it's very strange.
- How strange?
- Well, I can feel a bullet,
I just can't explain this.
The bullet should show right
here.
It's very odd.
- How's he doing?
- Okay, considering.
- I did some research on the
boys you saw at the building.
The older guy we know, a
German named Rhinesdorf.
The other one works for
him, and the third guy's
still a mystery man.
- And Rhinesdorf?
Rhinesdorf's clean.
Don't worry, he works
for a manufacturing plant
out of Shanghai, manufactures
glass for tabletops,
just a bunch knick knacks.
- How soon can we find
out about the mystery boy?
- I'm doing my best.
They still got me wrapped
up in security briefings
on this cardinal from the
Vatican.
- I got it!
No wonder we couldn't see this.
- It looks like glass.
Very hard glass.
Doesn't seem to be
anything here but glass.
- You mean to tell me you
got ahold of all this stuff
without anybody seeing you?
What are you, some kinda pro?
- Was.
Jewels, art, sometimes other
stuff.
- You do any time?
- No.
I'm good at what I do.
- Yeah, you're so good you
fell right into Smith's hands.
- So did you.
I just steal 'em.
You're supposed to look at 'em.
Why don't you get to work.
- The hunter and the hunted,
the predator and the prey,
the strong and the weak.
Big dogs eat small dogs.
It's getting harder and
harder to know the difference,
the edges are all blurred.
Always was just a thin line
anyway.
- Your game is killing.
What you were made for.
My threat will anger you.
End it.
Before I end you.
Is that all you got, big dog?
- Yeah, we're like dogs in a
way.
The question is, who's
gonna be the big dog,
you or me, Khan?
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- Now.
You kill him, you can
leave Shanghai a free man.
After the kill, what then?
- What you mean?
- 1500 years ago, the Emperor
Tai Tsong,
he had an elite corps of
assassins, and besides this
craft,
he demanded their silence.
Now you've been warned.
- Would you like one?
- You'd give me a diamond?
- No, I would make you a wager.
- What sort of wager?
- I will drop the diamonds,
we both try to pick one out,
whoever does wins.
So.
- All I have to do is pick one
up?
- That's all.
Your sword against the diamond.
- You have a bet.
- Pick one out.
- They're gone.
- Nonsense.
They are there.
- I can't see one, I can't pickone out.
- Ah ha, then it's my turn.
Watch.
- It's just a game.
- Which you lose.
The trick is in the light.
You can hide the diamond shapes.
You won't lose this game again.
Remember, the light and the
shape.
Each piece only has one
function.
Its form will lead you to that
function.
- I see you wore the pendant.
- It goes with the dress.
- It goes with you.
So how's the house?
- Perfect.
I still can't believe I'm
actually living there.
- You should.
It suits you.
- I used to visit there all thetime.
I feel comfortable there.
- I know you like the mist.
I like it to.
- What?
What did you say?
- I was just thinking
about the lake house.
Anything wrong, Amy?
- No.
I'm fine.
Would you excuse me just a
moment?
I'm sorry, I have to leave.
- You're sure you're all right?
Maybe I should drive you home.
- No.
It's business.
I really am sorry.
I'll call you?
- Okay.
- You know what I think the
biggest
pain in the ass in the world is?
- I think I'm going to in a
second.
- Well, it isn't
hangnails, it isn't taxes,
it isn't hemorrhoids.
It's love, and everything
that goes along with it.
- You'd get some arguments on
that.
- I think it screws up life
beyond belief.
- It also makes life worth
living.
- That's simplistic.
- And you're not?
- No.
I'm a complicated mess, and
a lot of it's thanks to love.
- Smith, if you couldn't love,
think what an empty world this
would be.
- I'm thinking about it, and
sometimes it seems lovely.
- We gotta have these evening
rendezvouses more often.
- Find something?
- These pieces were loaded
inside these shapes.
- Yeah, it's still pieces.
- Watch this.
I'm missing a piece of
the trigger mechanism,
but it's a two-shot 38 caliber.
- And the propellant?
- Something liquid, it's
probably solid.
- Some new carbonate.
- It's really strong, you
cannot break this thing here.
Here's a surprise though.
Watching?
It's invisible.
It's a killer's dream.
- Found out who the other
man with Rhinesdorf was.
- The bossmaker?
- No, a widowmaker.
He's an assassin, Emil
Prokoff call from Munich.
- And he works with Rhinesdorf.
- Used to.
Come on, I'll show you.
One compressed air bullet
to the back of the head.
Old fashioned, like a mafia
execution.
- Why?
- Million dollar question.
Mr. Prokoff likes bullets
in the back of the head.
- Charming.
- Half the law enforcement
agencies around the world
have been looking for him.
- Why is he in Shanghai?
- I doubt it's just for
Rhinesdorf.
- Let's say Rhinesdorf made theglass gun.
Prokoff wants to use it, but
doesn't want
Rhinesdorf to have anything on
him.
- Makes sense.
You ever think about being a
cop?
- No.
I try not to think about cops.
Now why does a superstar
assassin come all the way
to Shanghai from Germany
just to kill a glass maker?
- He doesn't.
Tell JT to meet me outside.
He comes for a big pile of money
and to hit a superstar target.
The cardinal from the Vatican.
- With the perfect weapon, makessense.
- I'll see you at mass in a
couple hours.
- Metal detectors
will be tested in 20 minutes.
Metal detectors will be
tested in 20 minutes.
Metal detectors will be
tested in 20 minutes.
- All right, don't load up on
the blues.
They'd shoot him on scene
and change his plans.
- You better be damn sure.
- This gun has got a lot going
for it,
but it's kinda small, so it's
limiting.
With two shots you gotta be in
very close.
- You know a lot about guns.
Knives too, I heard.
- Yeah, well I been around.
- How far around?
- What the hell is that supposedto mean?
- All right, how about
your favorite question.
Ever do time?
- All right, this is over.
- What, you don't wanna talk?
- No, I don't.
Let's just do this.
- Body of Christ.
Body of Christ.
- You see anything?
- A lot of Catholics.
- Yeah, and one ex-Baptist.
- Half Presbyterian here.
- Presbyterian, that's a big
word,
how do you spell that word?
- S-T-R-I-C-T.
- Body of Christ.
- My mama was a Sunday school
teacher.
- You ever go?
- I had to.
I didn't I got a serious case ofred butt.
- JT, the monk, two back.
What about him?
- I've seen him before.
When Mitchell got shot.
- All right.
Mine ain't glass.
I got eight in the mag, one in
the hole.
Now you gonna come with me
and you gonna come slowly,
or I turn this ceremony into
a last rites, you understand?
Let's walk.
- JT, be careful, this guy's a
pro.
- Please, I got him by his
ass with his own glass.
I gotta get the thug outta here.
- I take it back.
- What's that?
- We gotta talk.
I guess he saved the
second bullet for himself.
- If I have brains like him
that travels, I return again.
Bard, Khan.
Willie Shakespeare, remember
him?
Oh.
Back so soon.
- You don't know where I
am, or what I have planned.
- You got a hell of a nerve.
You're not frightened.
You know what?
Me either.
- But that's the fun.
And it'll always be this way.
- Whatever the game, it's your
move.
- Peace will die in this city.

- Are you okay?
- I've been shot!
- Man, let you loose

You do have a way with people,
Mitchell.
Was it a jealous husband?
- No!
- Well at least you got shot inthe butt.
Coulda been worse.
If you know what I mean.
- Yes.
Oh, hi.
Of course.
How did you get this number?
- Oh, I have my ways.
- I guess you do.
- Of course I'd love to see youagain.
- All right.
I know the place.
Sure, we'll go over
the terms of the lease.
See ya.
- An old friend?
- Actually a new one.
- Is he cute?
- I'll tell you later.
- Is it serious?
- Actually it's very strange.
- How strange?
- Well, I can feel a bullet,
I just can't explain this.
The bullet should show right
here.
It's very odd.
- How's he doing?
- Okay, considering.
- I did some research on the
boys you saw at the building.
The older guy we know, a
German named Rhinesdorf.
The other one works for
him, and the third guy's
still a mystery man.
- And Rhinesdorf?
Rhinesdorf's clean.
Don't worry, he works
for a manufacturing plant
out of Shanghai, manufactures
glass for tabletops,
just a bunch knick knacks.
- How soon can we find
out about the mystery boy?
- I'm doing my best.
They still got me wrapped
up in security briefings
on this cardinal from the
Vatican.
- I got it!
No wonder we couldn't see this.
- It looks like glass.
Very hard glass.
Doesn't seem to be
anything here but glass.
- You mean to tell me you
got ahold of all this stuff
without anybody seeing you?
What are you, some kinda pro?
- Was.
Jewels, art, sometimes other
stuff.
- You do any time?
- No.
I'm good at what I do.
- Yeah, you're so good you
fell right into Smith's hands.
- So did you.
I just steal 'em.
You're supposed to look at 'em.
Why don't you get to work.
- The hunter and the hunted,
the predator and the prey,
the strong and the weak.
Big dogs eat small dogs.
It's getting harder and
harder to know the difference,
the edges are all blurred.
Always was just a thin line
anyway.
- Your game is killing.
What you were made for.
My threat will anger you.
End it.
Before I end you.
Is that all you got, big dog?
- Yeah, we're like dogs in a
way.
The question is, who's
gonna be the big dog,
you or me, Khan?
- You ready?
- Yeah.
- Now.
You kill him, you can
leave Shanghai a free man.
After the kill, what then?
- What you mean?
- 1500 years ago, the Emperor
Tai Tsong,
he had an elite corps of
assassins, and besides this
craft,
he demanded their silence.
Now you've been warned.
- Would you like one?
- You'd give me a diamond?
- No, I would make you a wager.
- What sort of wager?
- I will drop the diamonds,
we both try to pick one out,
whoever does wins.
So.
- All I have to do is pick one
up?
- That's all.
Your sword against the diamond.
- You have a bet.
- Pick one out.
- They're gone.
- Nonsense.
They are there.
- I can't see one, I can't pickone out.
- Ah ha, then it's my turn.
Watch.
- It's just a game.
- Which you lose.
The trick is in the light.
You can hide the diamond shapes.
You won't lose this game again.
Remember, the light and the
shape.
Each piece only has one
function.
Its form will lead you to that
function.
- I see you wore the pendant.
- It goes with the dress.
- It goes with you.
So how's the house?
- Perfect.
I still can't believe I'm
actually living there.
- You should.
It suits you.
- I used to visit there all thetime.
I feel comfortable there.
- I know you like the mist.
I like it to.
- What?
What did you say?
- I was just thinking
about the lake house.
Anything wrong, Amy?
- No.
I'm fine.
Would you excuse me just a
moment?
I'm sorry, I have to leave.
- You're sure you're all right?
Maybe I should drive you home.
- No.
It's business.
I really am sorry.
I'll call you?
- Okay.
- You know what I think the
biggest
pain in the ass in the world is?
- I think I'm going to in a
second.
- Well, it isn't
hangnails, it isn't taxes,
it isn't hemorrhoids.
It's love, and everything
that goes along with it.
- You'd get some arguments on
that.
- I think it screws up life
beyond belief.
- It also makes life worth
living.
- That's simplistic.
- And you're not?
- No.
I'm a complicated mess, and
a lot of it's thanks to love.
- Smith, if you couldn't love,
think what an empty world this
would be.
- I'm thinking about it, and
sometimes it seems lovely.
- We gotta have these evening
rendezvouses more often.
- Find something?
- These pieces were loaded
inside these shapes.
- Yeah, it's still pieces.
- Watch this.
I'm missing a piece of
the trigger mechanism,
but it's a two-shot 38 caliber.
- And the propellant?
- Something liquid, it's
probably solid.
- Some new carbonate.
- It's really strong, you
cannot break this thing here.
Here's a surprise though.
Watching?
It's invisible.
It's a killer's dream.
- Found out who the other
man with Rhinesdorf was.
- The bossmaker?
- No, a widowmaker.
He's an assassin, Emil
Prokoff call from Munich.
- And he works with Rhinesdorf.
- Used to.
Come on, I'll show you.
One compressed air bullet
to the back of the head.
Old fashioned, like a mafia
execution.
- Why?
- Million dollar question.
Mr. Prokoff likes bullets
in the back of the head.
- Charming.
- Half the law enforcement
agencies around the world
have been looking for him.
- Why is he in Shanghai?
- I doubt it's just for
Rhinesdorf.
- Let's say Rhinesdorf made theglass gun.
Prokoff wants to use it, but
doesn't want
Rhinesdorf to have anything on
him.
- Makes sense.
You ever think about being a
cop?
- No.
I try not to think about cops.
Now why does a superstar
assassin come all the way
to Shanghai from Germany
just to kill a glass maker?
- He doesn't.
Tell JT to meet me outside.
He comes for a big pile of money
and to hit a superstar target.
The cardinal from the Vatican.
- With the perfect weapon, makessense.
- I'll see you at mass in a
couple hours.
- Metal detectors
will be tested in 20 minutes.
Metal detectors will be
tested in 20 minutes.
Metal detectors will be
tested in 20 minutes.
- All right, don't load up on
the blues.
They'd shoot him on scene
and change his plans.
- You better be damn sure.
- This gun has got a lot going
for it,
but it's kinda small, so it's
limiting.
With two shots you gotta be in
very close.
- You know a lot about guns.
Knives too, I heard.
- Yeah, well I been around.
- How far around?
- What the hell is that supposedto mean?
- All right, how about
your favorite question.
Ever do time?
- All right, this is over.
- What, you don't wanna talk?
- No, I don't.
Let's just do this.
- Body of Christ.
Body of Christ.
- You see anything?
- A lot of Catholics.
- Yeah, and one ex-Baptist.
- Half Presbyterian here.
- Presbyterian, that's a big
word,
how do you spell that word?
- S-T-R-I-C-T.
- Body of Christ.
- My mama was a Sunday school
teacher.
- You ever go?
- I had to.
I didn't I got a serious case ofred butt.
- JT, the monk, two back.
What about him?
- I've seen him before.
When Mitchell got shot.
- All right.
Mine ain't glass.
I got eight in the mag, one in
the hole.
Now you gonna come with me
and you gonna come slowly,
or I turn this ceremony into
a last rites, you understand?
Let's walk.
- JT, be careful, this guy's a
pro.
- Please, I got him by his
ass with his own glass.
I gotta get the thug outta here.
- I take it back.
- What's that?
- We gotta talk.
I guess he saved the
second bullet for himself.
- If I have brains like him
that travels, I return again.
Bard, Khan.
Willie Shakespeare, remember
him?
Oh.
Back so soon.
- You don't know where I
am, or what I have planned.
- You got a hell of a nerve.
You're not frightened.
You know what?
Me either.
- But that's the fun.
And it'll always be this way.
- Whatever the game, it's your
move.
- Peace will die in this city.
