I just got done watching XIII ... the new mini series on nbc. It was a good watch... Here is the plot:
The first female U.S. President, Sally Sheridan, is shot dead by a sniper during her Veterans Day speech. Her assassin narrowly escapes the scene with
his life. Three months later, an elderly couple discover the body of a wounded man in a tree, still in his parachute. The young man (Dorff) cannot
remember the slightest thing about his own identity. The only clue is a tattoo on his chest, "XIII". Meanwhile, in the White House, government
intelligence is still conducting the search for the President's killer. With the elections just weeks away, a confirmed suspect could swing the vote
for the administration. Hours after XIII's location is picked up by covert intelligence, elite special ops forces are swarming the couple's house in
Cape Fear. Running on adrenaline and instinct, XIII tactically takes out the soldiers one by one. On the run, clinging to one desperate clue after
another, XIII begins to piece back his life, fragments of his memory returning. Finally captured, he learns that he has been given a stolen identity
and placed undercover to flush out a group of conspirators threatening to overthrow the government. Ensconced within the highest echelons of power the
conspirators run their own security agency alongside the Government's. Both are out to find him. The only way for XIII to get his own life back is to
play bait which is a dangerous game since XIII doesn't know who he really is.
I suggest watching.. Anyways... towards the end there is a slightly disturbing convo:
"All this time and you still havent figured it out have you? .... You don't know anything."
"I know this.. it's over"
"No no no, its only the begginning. The bombings the election...... That's just a preamble. It's a
new world order agent... America is weak,
but it will soon be restored to it's proper stature "
I think that is the first time I have heard the term new world order used on mainstream tv and they use it in referance to a group of people in the
government that are taking it over using terrorism etc... Actually I think the only other time I have seen it used was here:
Anyways.. I thought I would point that out to you guys...
Peace
