- For 4000 years, the world has been
on the verge of an apocalypse.
I have battled Khan and his darkforces
in countless reincarnations through the mists of time.
My name is Smith.
Shanghai,
2010.
A fourth dimension world where nothing is
as it appears to be.
Welcome to Flatland.
- I have a plan to destroy themall.
Blow them off the face of the earth
like so much dust in the wind.
Symbols of everything I hate.
I'm focusing my attention on Asia.
China, India, Pakistan.
That's more than half the world's population
where all the money and the future lies.
Finally,
Mr. Castle from Zuri.
- Son of a bitch owes me money.
I can't wait to talk to Mr. Castle.
- Unfortunately, Mr. Jessop,
that won't be possible.
- No!
- You don't know who youare.
- I saw his face in the candles.
He's old now,
but still strong.
He'll come again.
When he does,
one of us will die, like always.
He's clever.
Be looking for the traitor now.
You'll have to get to him first.
- Protect him?
- No.
I had something else in mind
for someone lovely,
gracious,
wicked.
- The white zone
is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.
- Welcome, Smith.
- It's gonna piss on me, kiddo.
Nice touch for armageddon, huh?
I like dirty weather.
It's good for the soul,
it's great for drinking, it's brilliant for sex,
which reminds me, are you close?
- Pulling right in.
Hey.
Five dollars, we boom boom all night.
Good flight?
- Well, once the landing gear goes up,
we're all held hostage.
- Everything's ready.
- Oh, I like to worry.
Keeps me calm.
By the way,
you look gorgeous.
You could charge more.
People,
Olivia Wing.
Leon Jessop.
These are the faces of evil.
Their eyes have all the seeming
of demons who are dreaming,
and tonight,
we're cutting off their heads.
This is ground zero.
I want it sealed up tighter than a taiko drum.
- They didn't know you were aware of the taiko.
- How 'bout the erhu and the zheng?
They'd really be surprised then,huh?
- Mr. Coventry, the French ambassador said
he was having dinner with you tonight.
I thought you had other plans.
- I do.
- I tell you, Fish, sometimes this place
really reminds me of home,
except for the fact that everybody here is Chinese.
- Yeah, 25 million of us.
You have Chinese in Miami?
- Three restaurants and a laundry.
Where are these fools, man?
- JT?
- I smell something.
Like some bad sushi.
- I thought you were dead.
Or locked up.
- This fool tried to take my head off
in San Francisco with a sledgehammer.
He can't aim too good.
- So what's this got to do withhim?
- Hey, why you steppin' up, man?
- Bobby Ruffalo, meet JT.
Doesn't have a last name.
His momma had too many choices.
- Whatever.
- Hey, you guys finished being polite?
- Let's lay down these rules.
- Alright, Sunday school.
We act like gentlemen, no guns, no trouble.
- It's gonna be a big party, yo.
- We show up in small groups.
The less attention, the better.
Okay?
Good.
I'll see ya later.
- Hey, Mitchell.
Do me a favor, man.
Save the lance dance for me, huh?
I owe you.
- You and me, homie.
- It's showtime, people.
Give me faces.
- Leon Jessup, very high in the organization.
International warrants for drugs and murder.
- You nervous?
- It helps me focus.
- I see him.
I cover you.
- Hey, I thought they said no trouble.
- No, they said no guns.
- 10 minutes.
We ready?
- 200 units.
- It's the Alamo redux.
Hit 'em with everything!
- Damn!
Somebody tipped him.
We're blown.
Mitchell!
Let's go.
- God!
How is this possible?
- Freeze!
- Mitchell, you sold us out, you punk!
- Hold it, get your hands up!
Keep 'em up!
- That's it, buddy!
Keep 'em up.
The other one's gone!
- You okay?
- Hey Fish, did you see that, man?
- See what?
- That girl ran right up the side of the building.
- Come on.
- Fish, man, I know what I saw.
- You crazy?
You're starting to sound like myuncle.
- I wanna talk to him real fast.
Come on, man, you putting me on.
You're a blue?
- Detective, Shanghai PD.
- Doin' undercover?
Not in a million years.
- Just for the last three.
- Well, usually I can smell the good two states away.
- Well, you're a long way from Miami.
It's different here.
- You got that right.
What's up, dawg?
- Hey, homeboy!
I saved that dance, but you tookyour shot
and you missed it, twinkle toes.
- I got your twinkle toes.
- Shouldn't we...
- Let 'em express themselves.
Alright, children.
Recess is over.
Hey!
- Smith!
I wanna talk to you.
- Shut it!
In my office.
Now.
I put you both undercover,
which whether you like it or not,
means you've been working for the same side,
which is mine.
Now,
you can talk.
- You got bad taste.
- Three years, huh?
Three years and nobody told me.
I coulda killed him.
- I didn't tell you for your owngood.
- So, who else is working for you?
- We did some serious damage tonight.
Not just here, but all over theworld.
We made over 800 arrests.
We got weapons, we got data, we got contacts.
It was a TKO.
- What'd you want?
- I want an execution.
We didn't get 'em all.
- You mean the man behind the man.
- He knew we were coming.
Gives me a twitch.
- Well, who the hell else knowsabout us?
- Only the people in this room.
- You didn't answer my question.
- I did answer your question.
Since you've been so nice,
there are others.
- How many?
- Only one that I care about.
Let's go.
You look fabulous in that dress.
- Hey, homeboy.
So, what's your name?
- JT.
- JT what, that's not a real name.
- The last thing you need to worry about is my name.
- Yeah!
- Remember, he's a bit weird.
- Fish!
It's good to see you.
- Uncle.
Hope I didn't catch you at a badtime.
- There are never bad times,
some are just not as good
as others.
- Uncle, I want you to meet a friend of mine.
He'd like to talk to you.
- My name is JT.
- I know.
We've met.
- Really?
What, in Miami or LA or something?
- A place called Wushi.
It was a long time ago.
Come with me.
You wanted to see me.
Tell me why.
- Because Fish said you,
you see things.
- He doesn't understand,
but he's right.
- I saw something tonight
in Pudong.
A cop bust.
They had this girl.
This girl looked real fine.
She was,
anyway, she was trapped until she started running up
the side of a skyscraper.
She didn't have a fire escape,
no escalator, no elevator, nothing.
It was ridiculous!
Fish standing right next to me and he didn't see anything.
One of us has to be crazy, right?
You got something to drink?
I need a rum and coke.
The hell was that?
- You don't know
who
you are.
- Oh, you better start talking fast.
- Hey, cool.
Nice skirt.
Who's your tailor?
Ladies first.
- So, what was it again?
- What was what?
- Your name.
- Linda, Linda Meyers.
- Linda.
Mitchell, Quentin Mitchell.
So.
Been a long night.
Linda
Meyers, I was serious about what I asked Smith.
- About the other undercover?
- Uh-huh.
- Her name is Amy Li,
she works for Smith like you andJT.
- Amy Li.
- So, why wasn't she here tonight?
- She's with someone.
We think he may be pretty high up in the organization,
maybe even the head.
- So that's how it goes, huh?
She gets the top job.
- She's a little more white collar than you and JT.
- Hey, hey, hey, please!
Come on.
Don't wanna put me in the same category as that guy.
I'll have you know that I have avery
very clean-cut side to me.
- Good to know.
- Maybe I can show you sometime.
- Maybe.
- You've got some nice moves.
How the hell did you.
- Good, okay, keepit up.
With the rest.
Nice, and one, and two, and knee, and leg,
and knee, and leg, and left, and right, good.
- Well.
You choir boys aren't undercoveranymore.
You're naked, so to speak.
Whoever snitched probably did a number on both of you.
- And you said nobody would knowabout us.
- Didn't you learn anything
working with those wise guys
in those courtrooms in Manhattan?
Hearsay doesn't count and truth is relative.
- Especially coming from you.
- You mean to tell me you're a lawyer?
- Oh, his clients were Godian, Gambino.
This lawyer has scounded with half their money.
He's lucky I found him,
'cause I can make a turd disappear
in a toilet that don't flush.
- That's just great.
A mafia mouth.
- Be nice.
You need each other.
- For what, target practice?
- I want two things.
I'm talking to you!
The snitch
and the son of a bitch that runsthe show.
- And I guess you got a great plan for this, hmm?
- Yeah.
Twist some arms, cheat, steal, lie,
threaten, crack some heads, I don't care.
- And I'm left with this idiot.
- Hello?
You're not volunteers, you're conscripts.
If you don't learn to work together,
you're gonna be leasing apartments
in a federal prison or dead.
You capiche, counselor?
- Look, I'll cover you and you cover me,
but when this is all over,
we can kill each other.
- Alright, deal.
- Good.
- Hey, man.
- Sorry.
- Touch me again, I'm taking your head off.
- Question.
You think Smith will burn us just to get what he wants?
- To a crisp.
In a heartbeat.
- Have you bonded yet?
Settled up the differences?
- Yeah.
- Bravissimo!
Buon viaggio, signore!
- What?
- Very well.
Don't stay too long.
You can turn crispy in a heartbeat.
- Hey, man.
A big cat come in here?
Like a little bit taller than me?
Carrying a weapon or somethin'?
- I didn't see anything.
- Where's Uncle?
I saw this dude.
He was tryin' to kill me,
and then he wasn't there.
- He was there.
- Now, how can that be?
- Because you're getting closer to the core.
- The core of what?
- Who you were,
who you are,
and who you'll always be.
- Yeah, I don't know about all that,
but right now, I'm a dude cannot close his eyes
without being scared.
- Your life and your world are very different now.
- Well, I know, but what if I don't like it?
- It'll change.
- When?
- When you understand Flatland.
- You want the stuff in the alley?
- Yeah, where the officers died.
You know what's amazing?
Is that he missed.
- Maybe he wasn't really trying.
- Maybe the Mets are gonna win the world series.
Linda,
how long you've known Smith?
- Five or six years.
- Oh, he must've got you straight out of 6th grade.
- Keep it up.
- Can I ask you a question off the record?
- Maybe.
What's the question?
- How'd he get JT?
Come on.
It won't leave this room.
- JT was part of a gang in Miami.
- A banger.
That figures.
- They raided a Columbian drug dealer's warehouse.
- He stole drugs?
- No drugs, just cash.
Eight million.
JT took it.
- Well, there's nothing wrong with stealing dirty money.
- That's what JT said
but a lot of people got killed.
He swore he didn't even have a weapon.
- Yeah, right.
Why would he carry a weapon
when he's knocking off a drug dealer?
Wait, wait, wait, wait, right there.
Why'd you run so soon, Bobby?
- Flatland?
When I understand Flat,
what are you talking about, man?
- A 4th dimension where time isparallel.
Where there is no time.
- 4th dimension.
Time is parallel.
You got, what the hell is that?
This dude's runnin' around with swords and mirrors, man.
What is that?
This cannot be real, is this real?
- Very.
The man in the mirror is a trader from your past
and your present.
- What do you mean, like reincarnation?
Like Shirley MacLaine, somethin' like that?
- Something,
but you're not an actress.
You're a warrior.
One of the most powerful I've ever seen.
- I'm a warrior?
- With a long and glorious history.
- Yeah, my history would be kinda long.
This guy's cool.
- But you need to learn.
- How you doin' that, man?
You got any more tricks like that,
I can get you booked in Vegas.
Make us some money, shoot.
- I'm glad you're here.
- You never mentioned this place.
- It's been in my family for 700years.
Ming dynasty.
Maybe more.
That's as far back as the ripples go.
- Well, I can trace my roots all the way back to
Hong Kong,
1984.
- What about your parents?
- I never knew them.
- Someday, we should sit down and invent a past for you.
I think,
I think you're descended from along line
of great rulers.
Warriors, kings and queens.
- Well, Princess Amy sounds good enough to me.
- That's not asking for much.
- Then, I'd feel like I'd belong in a place like this.
- You belong wherever you want to be.
- You're not gonna disappear areyou?
- I'll be back.
I'll always be back.
- It's been a long time, my friend.
- I got an address for Bobby Ruffalo.
It's a boat, actually.
It's on the river near the international steamship pier.
- Thanks.
- Are you sure you wanna go alone?
- Well, I was hoping your eight million dollar man
would come back, but can't seem to figure out
where he is.
- I'll go with you.
- No, no, no, could get a littlecrazy.
Besides, I was saving you for drinks and dinner.
- That could get a little crazy,too.
- With a little luck.
JT, where've you been?
- Let's just say I was on a trip.
- That's it, a trip?
- Believe me, brother, that's all you wanna know.
- You ever give me a straight answer to a question,
I think the sky's gonna break.
I think I found our leak, you comin'?
It's over there.
- Step one, you found it.
Step two?
- We knock, say hello.
- Step three, I kill his ass for rattin' on us.
Hey man, you ever see a bird like that before?
- It's a raven.
Like the football team.
- He's been following me all over town.
- Bobby.
Bobby, it's me, Mitchell.
I don't know where he is.
- Bobby Ruffalo!
- One down, one missing, two safe.
The game's going extra innings, it always does.
I guess it's too much to ask for Bobby Thomson,
or Bill Mazeroski, or Kurt Gibson to hit one now, huh?
I would just go to sleep,
but there is no peace unto the wicked.
So, I'll keep at it.
Feeding the muck and nose to the scent of your blood.
Until I find you somewhere in the mists of time,
and then I'll destroy you, Khan.
I'll destroy you, Khan!
I'll destroy you!
