Jack Says
The film opens with Jack (Simon Phillips) tied to a chair in a warehouse, guarded by heavies. He seems to have evoked the wrath of the Well Dressed Man (Mike Reid), who lectures him about losing respect. A girl called Natalie (Sari Sheehan) is present, and is clearly not in the Well Dressed Mans good books. As one of the heavies removes Jacks gag, the Well Dressed Man points a gun at his head. The scene fades to black, followed by two gunshots. The scene opens in a lively Paris bar, where the Messenger (Daniel Roberts) pushes his way through the vibrant crowd and into the dressing room area out back. He walks in on Girl X (Aurelie Amblard) as she is changing. He is here to deliver a message and some flowers from Garvey (Rula Lenska), making clear that she is not pleased with Girl X fraternising with men in the bar. To really make a point, he leaves a packet with her, which she discovers contains a ring and some teeth. Jack awakens in a bathroom in London next to the corpse of the Well Dressed Man. Having been hit around the head, Jack is suffering from amnesia and cannot remember how he or the body got there. The last thing he remembers is having the gun pointed at him in the warehouse, and he has no idea how the Well Dressed Man ended up dead. He searches his pockets and finds a Polaroid of a pair of breasts with the name Erin and a Paris address written on the other side. Hearing police sirens, he decides to leave, figuring Paris is good place to lie low. Jack arrives in Paris and, via encounters with a snobby dog owner, a talkative taxi driver and a philosophical barfly; he calls at Erins (Rita Ramnani). Erin, Jacks ex-girlfriend, agrees to take him in. The next day, Jack heads out to explore Paris. He happens upon a bar, where he sees Girl Xs show. Enamoured with her, he heads backstage, and interrupts the Messenger delivering another message from Garvey. Jack swiftly and violently dispatches with the Messenger, taking his gun. Seeing Jacks usefulness, Girl X offers Jack payment to permanently dispose of Garvey, who is in love with her, and has been making threats against those close to her. Jack declines the offer; due to his amnesia, he is still unsure of whether he is capable of killing, and wants to keep a low profile for a while. Semi-drunk, he returns to Erins apartment, where he falls asleep in the doorway, as Erin is still at work. Erin returns, and has bought Jack a new suit. They scrub up and head out for a night on the town. Walking back along the Paris riverside, they flirt and discuss their previous relationship. Jack explains that he ended things to protect her, as his life meant dealing with dangerous people. The sexual tension between them crescendos, and they head home to bed. In the morning, Jack discovers a positive pregnancy test kit in the bathroom. As it has only been a few months since they split, and Erin has been single since, he knows the child is his. As Jack heads out, Erin declares her love for him; he doesnt respond. Jack mulls things over and returns, where he discovers that Erin has been brutally murdered. A bloody warning, Stay away from Girl X has been daubed on the wall. Jack heads to see Girl X, and tells her he will deal with Garvey in exchange for the payment she offered. He takes the money and heads to a restaurant where Girl X is acting as bait to lure Garvey. Jack threatens Garvey, but is talked out of killing her due to the possibility of immediate reprisals from her henchmen. When Girl X re-enters the restaurant and sees Jack, Garvey realises the two are colluding. They run, but Jack is struck around the head by the heavies and captured. The blow to Jacks head frees up his memories. He remembers what happened in the warehouse; Jack and Natalie had been having a secret affair, and Natalie killed the Well Dressed Man, who was her father. She then knocked Jack out and dumped him next to the body to try to frame him. Jack wakes, tied to a chair in a warehouse.
