The Transporter Page #2

Synopsis: Ex-Special Forces operator Frank Martin lives what seems to be a quiet life along the French Mediterranean, hiring himself out as a mercenary "transporter" who moves goods--human or otherwise--from one place to another. No questions asked. Carrying out mysterious and sometimes dangerous tasks in his tricked-out BMW, Frank adheres to a strict set of rules, which he never breaks. Rule One: Never change the deal. Rule Two: No names--Frank doesn't want to know whom he's working for, or what he's transporting. Rule Three: never look in the package. Frank's newest transport seems no different from the countless ones he's done in the past. He's been hired by an American known only as "Wall Street" to make a delivery; but when Frank stops along the route, he notices his package is moving. Violating Rule Three, Frank looks inside the bag, finding its contents to be a beautiful, gagged woman. Frank's steadfast adherence to his other two rules--which make up his basic code of survival--also quick

No, please! No.

Rule three:
Never look in the package.

Hope you enjoyed your pee

cos it's your last on this trip.

See what comes of breaking the rules?

- You're late.

- Ran into a little problem.

Nothin' serious?

Nothin' serious.

- You open the package?

- Rule three:
Never open the package.

I like that. Rules.

You can't get anything done

in a world without rules.

You're a foreigner, right?

Nice little thing you've got going for yourself.

High class... good reputation.

- I didn't get your name.

- Rule two:
No names.

Of course.

You don't count it.

Why? Should I?

- No, no.

- That concludes the deal.

You know, I was wondering

if you wouldn't mind

transporting something for me.

That's what you do, right?

You deliver, no questions asked.

Why not?

Weight?

- Maybe a kilo.

- Destination?

Grenoble. 306, rue de Lac. A Mr...

Oh, right. I forgot. Rule two.

I like him.

What the f?

Where is he?

You're like dogshit. You're everywhere.

Yeah. I know you wanna pee.

All you wanna do is pee.

Useless piece of sh*t!

I ask the questions, you answer them.

No long speeches, just keep it simple. Got it?

- Who are you?

- My name is Lai. I come from Jap...

I ask the questions, you answer them.

Nothing more, nothing less.

You wanna try again?

- What kind of sh*t am I in?

- Deep sh*t.

Very deep sh*t. Those guys...

Sorry. I won't say any...

Bon appetit.

- Where are you going?

- To bed.

Can't think straight when I'm tired.

Good night's sleep, I see things better.

- Can I leave?

- Be my guest.

Hey. Are you comfortable?

- Boss...

- Sh. Save your strength.

Just tell me:
Who did this?

- The transporter.

- The transporter's dead.

He's not.

You believe me?

I believe you.

And the police... they were here?

- You told 'em nothing, right?

- Right.

Of course.

You couldn't talk.

Yeah.

Let's keep it that way.

I picked them from the garden outside.

I hope you don't mind.

I didn't know if you like coffee or tea,

so I made both.

I hope you like... madeleines.

Try one.

Careful. It's hot.

Good?

Let me.

- I like it quiet in the morning.

- Yes, quiet in the morning. Me too.

I'm the same way. I like very quiet.

Sorry.

Are you looking for milk?

- There's milk at the door.

- Stay, stay. I'll go.

Hi.

- And you are?

- The new cook.

Is Monsieur Frank in?

Ah, Monsieur Frank.

- Is your invitation for coffee still open?

- Sure, come on, please. Sit.

- Madeleine?

- Homemade?

Yes. I'll bring some more.

My mother made fresh madeleines

every morning.

I smell them and my whole childhood

comes back in one big flood.

Like Proust. You ever read

Proust, Monsieur Frank?

- No.

- It's fantastic. Memory like a steel trap.
