Unusual Circumstances in Romantic Connections
London cabbie
Especially if she's the one who ghosted you... Oh, right. An international art curator, doesn't have an overseas calling plan. That's very unusual. Talking of romantic gestures, what's that you got in the back then, hey? Is it a little ], is it?

Strategizing to Find the Taxman
Leveque
I'll speak with Utami. Buy us some time. And the passcode?
[''Chuckles at a centipede capturing a beetle'']

Looks like Borislov was too slow.
Leveque
As usual.
Winger
But I finally know what the Taxman looks like, so I'll find him.
Leveque
What is this?
[''A henchman is suffering from wound'']
Winger
He doesn't know anything.
Leveque
We cannot afford this kind of failure. The game we play, it's like no other. If we succeed, we have wealth, power. And if we fail, we die. And that is only if we're lucky.

Understanding Ghosting and Life Choices
Cole's sister
Oh, no, no, no, I meant with your life. You know, grow a pair, move out of your parents house... There is. He came off way too strong, so she ghosted him... Yeah. It's when someone breaks off all contact. For example, let's just say a young lady makes a horrible, horrible mistake one night, and then the guy just keeps on texting her with emojis, over and over.

Reflections on Life and Death
Dr. Yates
You disappeared on me. We had an appointment.
Sadie
The mountains called.
Dr. Yates
Sadie, it's normal to be affected by what happened. Death, anyone's, can fill us with urgency.
Sadie
This is not about what happened. I didn't really know her, but... She was the same as me. Same age, same job. The one time I was in her house, it was the same as mine. Nice, but cold. Empty, except for one sad houseplant, which is more than I have. She died alone.
[''inhales sharply, stammers and sighs''; ''Chuckles'']
Dr. Yates
Sadie, stay present. No big moves, no big changes.
Sadie
So don't marry the rafting guide I just met? Maybe start with a houseplant. I'd probably eat it. My cold, empty house has a cold, empty fridge. I'm gonna stop for groceries.
[''Chuckles'']
Dr. Yates
Let's check in tomorrow.

Miscommunication About Phone and Refinancing Rates
Cole
Good news. Mortgage refinancing rates have never been lower.
Father
Any word? Maybe your phone's broken.
Sister
Yeah, maybe you should do a hard reset.
Cole
There's nothing wrong with my phone.
[''Sighs'']
Sister
Oh, no, no, no, I meant with your life. You know, grow a pair, move out of your parents house.
Cole
Guesthouse.
Father
Well, I'm sure there's a logical reason for it.
Sister
There is. He came off way too strong, so she ghosted him.
Father
Ghosted?
Sister
Yeah. It's when someone breaks off all contact. For example, let's just say a young lady makes a horrible, horrible mistake one night, and then the guy just keeps on texting her with emojis, over and over.
Cole
She did not ghost me, okay?
Sister
Mmm. She did.
Father
Hey, pal, you're huffing and puffing. Why don't you take a hit off your scuba? Come on, hey. Let's go.
Cole
Oh, my God.

Cole

Mother
Well, there you go. That makes sense. She probably got called away last minute on this job and had to rush over there. You know, international calling plans and whatnot. I bet she hasn't even seen your texts.
Cole
Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. Okay.
Mother
Exactly.
Cole
Okay, so this is fine?
Mother
Absolutely.
Father
Yeah.
Mother
Cole, you should go over there.
Cole
What?
Mother
Yeah, show up and surprise her. It'd be a romantic gesture, something we can tell our grandchildren.
Sister
Mom, you can't be serious. Cole, going to London? No.
Father
Why not? This is a perfect opportunity to get out there and grab life by the horns.
Sister
She's gonna think you're psycho.
Cole
Or she'll think that I'm the kind of guy that's willing to jump on a plane at a moment's notice.

Mother
Yeah, go to her.
Cole
Oh, you know what I have? You remember that spring break where I was supposed to go to Spain and I gave up my seat and I got a voucher?
Sister
That is my point exactly, Cole. You missed spring break to get a stupid voucher, which you never used. I mean, that is the type of guy you are.
Cole
Not today.
Sister
Oh, you still have...

Father
Oh, I've got goose bumps.
Mother
Oh, thanks for the warning.

Identity Confusion in High-Stakes Encounter
Henchman
Let me tell you how this will be. One for you, 19 for me. Cause I'm the taxman. Listen to me. I can't believe I'm quoting "The Taxman" to you. So lame. I really am turning into my dad. It's true what they say. When you meet a celebrity, your IQ drops 50 points.
Cole
Where am I?
Henchman
It's just... You're a living legend. Stopping our shipment in Turkey, the assassination in Berlin and now this thing with Elena and the passcode. The boss talks about you all the time. You've become an obsession for him. "The Taxman killed Elena. The Taxman has the passcode. Oh, how I want to find and murder the Taxman." And now here you are.
Cole
No, no, I'm... I'm not a taxman. I'm a farmer. I came to London to surprise a girl, and these guys, they jumped me.
Henchman
Textbook evasion. Frankly, a little disappointing, but the performance? Sublime. It's like you truly believe what you're saying.
Cole
Because I'm telling the truth. You have the wrong guy. My name is Cole Turner. My passport's right over there in the bag, in the front flap.
Henchman
Sublime. It truly is an honor to torture you today. Whoa. Okay, just... just wait. Wait. Normally, I begin with the punching. Wait a minute. You see, it causes me a little pain too. I'm all about sharing the experience. My therapist says that I'm an empath, which means that I'm deeply attuned to others feelings. But alas, the boss is in a real tizzy about the passcode. Are you familiar with ]?

The Complexity of Romantic Gestures
Cole
So it's not like a weird stalker thing. It's just a grand romantic gesture.
London cabbie
Yeah, that is amazing, mate. I mean, I admire your confidence. 5,000 miles to surprise a girl who you've only met once. I mean, that is the epitome of romance, mate.
Cole
Yeah, exactly. See, you get it.
London cabbie
Especially if she's the one who ghosted you.
Cole
I was... Wait, what? No, no, she didn't ghost me. She just doesn't have an international calling plan.
London cabbie
Oh, right. An international art curator, doesn't have an overseas calling plan. That's very unusual. Talking of romantic gestures, what's that you got in the back then, hey? Is it a little cactus, is it?
[''Stammers'']
Cole
Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is a little inside joke between us. Little cactus.
London cabbie
I'm sure she'll split her sides laughing.

Clever Tactics Amidst Historical Context
Leveque
Great khans, they used to cross these lands. Brutal Killers. It was said if you wanted to find one, you had to step over the dead.
Wagner
The Taxman has a face. No matches in the intelligence databases. They must be running him off the books.
Leveque
Mmm. Clever.

A Journey Towards Strength and Courage
Sadie Rhodes
When I was six, my mom and I fled our country... on a raft... worse than you can imagine. The sun, the waves, sharks, people screaming, crying. I was terrified. Everyone was. They wanted to go back, but... ...my mom was so strong. She kept us all going for five days, until we made it. And I still remember how they looked at her on the beach. I just, you know, wanted to be like her, strong and brave. So that's the day I decided I was never going to be afraid ever again. And I'm not.

Father
Hey, Coleslaw.
[''Cole comes in family house'']
Cole
Hey, Dad.
Father
Thanks for closing up the stand for me last night.
Cole
Not a problem.
Father
Edna gave me a hand. She was high.
Mother
Look who's finally home.
[''Hugs him deeply'']
Cole
God, take it easy, Mom.
Sister
He just got back from having sex with a stranger, not fighting the Germans.
Mother
Okay, now, come on. Spill the beans.
Cole
Well... her name is Sadie, and she is... She's incredible. I mean, I know this sounds a little crazy, but... I think she might be the one.
[''sighs''; chuckles]
Mother
Oh, really? Well, that's fast. Well, I can't wait to meet her.
Father
Did you tell her you wrestled in high school?
Cole
No.
Sister
What is this? You took a selfie in bed while she was asleep? Dude, that's weird. That's what serial killers do before they kill their victims and harvest their eyelids.
[''Going through Cole's phone'']
Cole
I was happy. I wanted to preserve the moment.
[''Stammers'']
Sister
He is doing it again!
Cole
Doing what?
Father
It's just... Cole, you can get a bit...
Sister
Smothering, needy, pathetic, desperate, delusional.
Cole
What?
Sister
Yeah, stuff like this. The stupid gifts, the constant texting. I mean, that's why things never worked out with Fiona.
Mother
Fiona was a bitch. You're a hopeless romantic, just like your mom.
Father
Tell her you wrestled in high school.
Cole
Look, I'm not needy, and I'm not smothering. And for your information, I've sent Sadie one text today. One. Three. And some light emoji stuff, but that doesn't count.
Sister
Emoji stuff counts. He is gonna blow it. Mark my words.

Truth and Lies in a Difficult Situation
Cole
I've got blood on my hands.
Sadie
It's the blood of bad men. We did what we had to.
Cole
Is that what you tell yourself? You're a liar.
Sadie
I'm not the liar here. I told you things I've never told anyone. It was all true.
Cole
Not all of it!
Sadie
Okay, one lie about my job.
[''Sighs'']
Cole
I really ate it up too, didn't I? Especially that sob story about your coworker that died. That is low.
Sadie
That was actually true. Her name was Elena.
Cole
And she really died?
Sadie
I may have killed her.
Cole
What?
Sadie
She was an enemy agent. She worked for these guys.
Cole
You said she was a coworker.
Sadie
She was. In a loose sense.
Cole
See, this is what I'm talking about. It's just lies and lies and more lies.
Sadie
It's not lies and more lies.
Cole
It's the sub-lie of the first original lie. You're unbelievable!
Sadie
Hey. Fine, I lied about my job. But you lied about who you are.
[''Stops Cole in tracks'']
Cole
Well, excuse me for fudging a few details to try and impress the most amazing woman I've ever met!
Sadie
Ugh, please!
Cole
Who apparently kills coworkers! Oh, my God!
Sadie
She killed innocent people, Cole! Do you know what? I am done with you. Head down, shut your mouth and follow my lead. The sooner I get rid of you, the sooner I get back to the mission.
[''Flags down a taxi'']
Cole
Fine. You know what?! I just want to get away from you and out of here as fast as possible!
Sadie
You should. Cause I've tangled with these guys before, and they are ruthless. And now they think you're me, so they're looking for you... "Taxman".
