GASTON lives in a BODY SHOP. The film footage is gray, washed out, the urban landscape bleak. This is the totalitarian future world of the New World Order.
CHARACTERIZATION
Gaston is a Baudelairesque rag picker, who searches for bottles, cans and scraps of metal to sculpt into a running narrative of his life.The Orwellian “prols” live on his side of the tracks. His warehouse loft in an abandoned BODY SHOP is right out of 1984. He is a typical example of the “prols” featured in Orwell’s novel, short for “proletariat”. He is a social reject, member of the underclass of urban poor, and psychologically “suicided” by his twisted upbringing in a dysfunctional single parent home. In short, Gaston has fallen through the cracks. There is no legitimate place for him in society. He is the quintessence of what Henry Kissinger has dubbed “the useless eater” phenomenon.
PLOT
One day, when he is out looking for bottles and cans, he chances upon an accident scene. He finds a car with a dead driver at the wheel. However, Gaston’s lack of education and social skills has left him bereft of understanding. He suffers from chronic arrested development and cannot compute have the data he confronts in daily life. “Death” does not compute; “dead bodies” even less so. To Gaston, the man is simply asleep at the wheel. He decides to rescue the dead man from an uncomfortable “sleep” and takes him back to the apartment in a shopping cart.
When Gaston gets the corpse back to the apartment and sits him in a chair, he is in for a surprise. It turns out that the dead man is Gaston’s hero, the star of a weekly detective drama he has followed for years. Gaston is flabbergasted to have such a distinguished guest. He goes all out to make his guest feel at home, including shopping, cooking and washing for him. As Gaston suffers from arrested development and his only role model being his mother, he takes on all the duties of housewife, tending to the corpse’s needs as though he were a living and breathing spouse. There is an element of homoeroticism and necrophilia that will come out in this psychodrama at a very subtle subconscious level.
Gaston has a few run-ins with some neighbourhood hoodlums, even suffering a brutal assault at their hands. These same hooligans are playing one day outside the BODY SHOP, when they detect a strange odour. The rumour is put about that Gaston is a Jeffrey Dahmer type and that his hangout is filled with preserving jars full of the hearts, brains and livers of his victims. The boys decide to investigate and find the corpse in Gaston’s loft.
The boys report the incident to the police, who receive the fantastic story with extreme scepticism. Later, Gaston himself tries to report the matter but is summarily dismissed as a crank. The police later dispatch a squad car and the corpse is found. Gaston tries to return to his apartment, but is dismissed as a loiterer and presumed street bum and driven off.
He is later apprehended for causing a disturbance and taken to a mental hospital, but is given a clean bill of health and released. He is desperate for food, but is denied sustenance at the food bank because he has no I.D. He is treated like a ghost, neither seen nor heard and wanders the street as a phantom of alienation. For Gaston, there is no way in our out of Dodge. He is a creature of Orwellian stamp, a consummate social reject, a ghost, a phantom, a Jude the Obscure of the modern era.
BUTTERFLY DREAMS
By Timothy Watson
Story Concepts Contributed by Sean Karimi “Butterfly Dreams” is derived from the famous philosophical treatise written by Chuang Tsu, in which the philosopher embarks on an epistemological study of the nature of reality and concludes that it is essentially illusory. The end of the treatise examines the status of subjective reality, the philosopher concluding that, in the dream state in which he dreams of a butterfly, there is no objective criterion to establish whether he is being dreamed by the butterfly or whether it is in fact being dreamed by him.The story revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a Catholic high school professor. Following his disappearance, his therapist, trained in both astrology and Jungian psychoanalysis, investigates his disappearance and unleashes a Chinese Box of unexpected surprises as the past comes back to haunt her. It is a case involving mistaken identities, false fronts and a Chinese box of enigmas within enigmas. When Julia Estrada and her friends begin exploring the campus grounds and the historical record, they begin to uncover some uncomfortable facts about the school’s history. She and her astrological mentor, Mrs. Campisi, team up to solve the case, one that leads them to the horrible truth that ritual sacrifice has been taking place under the guise of Christian values and education. The significance of the school’s pagan symbols comes to light and the dark associations with the school’s former incarnation as a Native Residential School comes to light.“Butterfly Dreams” is a fictional drama loosely based on the truth concerning the 28 mass graves recently discovered in Canada involving the ritual sacrifice of Native school children during the Residential School program, which was officially terminated in 1960. The horrific case involving the brutal massacre of these children, in an abuse case involving the United Church of Canada, the Catholic Church of Canada, and the Government of Canada, was exposed through the heroic efforts of Rev. Kevin Annett, who brought the case for genocide before the UN in New York.

5- INTERVIEW IN RUSSIA 2000
SEAN HAMILTON travels to Russia to hold an interview with GEORGE BLAKE. BLAKE tries to raise the price for the interview, but HAMILTON is a hard bargainer. HAMILTON begins by asking him questions about BLAKE’S escape. He is especially curious to know how he was smuggled out of Britain.
6- YONJI AND BAKER TOUR SEOUL
This scene is about class conflict. BLAKE witnesses an incident of police brutality firsthand. This incident leaves a lasting impression on him and plays a major part in his later conversion to Communism. YONJI later takes him to see a Korean masked dance. She explains how the dance is rooted in traditional Korean peasant culture. He is fascinated and identifies himself with the masked performers as he is also in a mask, pretending to be a British diplomat when he is really a spy.
7- HAK-SOON’S ESCAPE
BLAKE and YONJI attend a party at an officer’s club. LEE HAKSOON, BLAKE’S former lover, spots him in the crowd. This leads to an embarrassing encounter, but BLAKE and YONJI maintain their poise. HAKSOON, offended, leaves the party early. HAKSOON returns to her lover’s barracks on the base. She receives a warning from North Korean intelligence that she has been exposed. She has no choice but to flee. She tries leaving by the fire escape, but has to fight off a member of the squad assigned to kill her. When the MPs burst into the room, they take aim, but end up killing their own man instead. HAKSOON places a wig over her lover’s head before departing, turning him into a tragic decoy. KIHYUN hears the shot and goes to investigate.

North Korea advances south and will reach Seoul within hours. Civilians are instructed to evacuate the city. BLAKE decides to stay, but insists that YONJI join the presidential motorcade heading south.
9- BORDER RUN
When YONJI learns about diplomats and other officials being removed to POW camps, she becomes desperate for news about BLAKE. She seeks SUNGMIN’S help, knowing that his job has familiarized him with the locations of camps both friendly and unfriendly. SUNGMIN thinks it’s a suicide mission, but agrees to help. They are stopped by a patrol en route and are later attacked, barely escaping with their lives. When the jeep is shelled and overturned, they have to proceed on foot. The medic makes it to the border as promised.
10- CAPTURE AND DEATH MARCH
In this scene, SUNGMIN and KIHYUN are on assignment. They are on a reconnaissance mission in the North. KIHYUN is captured but Sung-min manages to escape. KIHYUN is taken away to join a column of prisoners marching north. Here, BLAKE and KIHYUN meet for the first time. BLAKE wins KIHYUN’S admiration by caring for the injured. They become friends. The Soviet commander is ruthless, shooting an American commander and a nun in cold blood. Then, to make the food rations go further, a group of South Korean officials are taken away and shot. BLAKE and KIHYUN plan an escape. They wait till the fires are put out and sneak out of camp late one night. They are ambushed by a North Korean patrol, but this time KIHYUN escapes. BLAKE is taken before a North Korean commander, who orders his execution. BLAKE narrowly escapes death by speaking in Russian. Impressed by his Russian, the North Korean commander calls off the firing squad and invites him to join him for dinner.
11- YONJI GIVES BIRTH
YONJI returns to Seoul and lives on her own at KIHYUN’S place. She carries his child and is in an advanced stage of pregnancy. She suffers from fatigue and a bad cold. There’s a fierce blizzard outside, but she has to get groceries and other supplies from the army base. By a happy coincidence, SUNGMIN is on the base and sees her. It is a driving blizzard and YONJI collapses due to fatigue and illness. SUNGMIN follows her in the driving snow, finds her, and carries her back to his apartment, where she revives. There, in the comfort of his home, she tells him that it is KIHYUN’S child. She also tells him the story of how they first met and later fell in love. Later, she asks him to take her back to KIHYUN’S place where she gives birth to a beautiful baby girl.
12- SUNGMIN DIES
The scene opens with YONJI shouting hysterically at KIHYUN, holding a knife at him and warning him not to come any closer. She then flees down a winding pathway in the woods to escape KIHYUN. The audience is in suspense because they don’t know what has happened. We are not sure whether KIHYUN is threatening her life or she his. It later becomes evident that YONJI intends to do herself some mischief. KIHYUN finally manages to persuade her to give him the knife. KIHYUN then relates the story of how their friend SUNGMIN was killed on the mission. KIHYUN explains how he was on a diving mission, laying some explosives on a communication cable, when he felt a tug on his line signaling him to surface. SUNGMIN meanwhile was talking with the commander of the other boat, when machinegun fire sprayed the deck, taking out one of their crewmembers. One of their own convoy then returned and opened fire on the North Koreans, but it was too late. SUNGMIN is already hit, falling headlong into the sea. KIHYUN surfaces to see the South Korean boat in hot pursuit of the North Koreans. He finds SUNGMIN lying face down in the water and pulls him from the water. 13- MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH Several prisoners are in the infirmary suffering from illnesses ranging from pneumonia to dysentery. One of the prisoners, a priest, is taken away to the death house. The prisoners see this as a bad omen. One of the prisoners explains how vermin usually leave a man’s body when he’s in the early stages of death. The other prisoners find this deeply disturbing. BLAKE gives his meals to the weaker prisoners to help improve their chances. BLAKE is suffering from dysentery. He and the other prisoners will die if they don’t receive proper treatment and medicine. Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, YONJI begs the camp doctor to do something. He owes her a debt, as he was the medic whose life she saved early in the war. He refuses to help despite owing her his life. She bargains with him, promising to give him at least one ideological convert in exchange for some medicine. He makes an additional demand in order to fulfill his end of the bargain – sex of course.
14- MARRIAGE AND ARMISTICE
An armistice is declared and the prisoners are told they are to be sent home. YONJI has no place to go, as the South Korean government is not likely to welcome her in view of her work at the camp. BLAKE convinces her that marrying him is the best option. As a British subject, she can travel anywhere in the free world. They are married in a humble ceremony at the camp. There will be a short scene showing the Western wedding followed by the traditional Korean wedding. YONJI departs for Seoul, promising to join BLAKE in London after retrieving her child from Seoul. BLAKE and the other prisoners are transported to China and take the Trans-Siberian Express from there. BLAKE meets his KGB contact on board the train. They are making plans for a future rendezvous, when their meeting is interrupted by a knock on the door. CAPTAIN HOLT has come looking for BLAKE. He is introduced to the Russian. He seems slightly suspicious, but says nothing. 15- ON ENGLISH SOIL YONJI and JENNIFER meet BLAKE at Heathrow Airport in London. The reunion is happy, but short-lived. BLAKE often works late at the office, photographing and documenting everything of importance in order to turn it over to the KGB. He comes across the plans for a wiretapping tunnel scheduled for construction in East Berlin. BLAKE sabotages the plan from the outset by passing on the information to his contacts. Meanwhile, a Polish defector defects to Washington and is supplying his CIA contacts with information on KGB intelligence moles working for British intelligence, among them BLAKE.
16- INTERROGATION
BLAKE is recalled to London from Lebanon where he takes an intensive course in Arabic. He is suspected of spying for the Soviets and is interrogated by a team of MI6 agents. At first, he denies their allegations, but later fesses up.
17- TRIAL AT THE OLD BAILEY
The scene opens with BLAKE’S attorney urging him to show remorse for his past actions. When BLAKE refuses, it is clear to everyone, including himself that the case is lost. All that remains is sentencing. The scene will show the highlights of the trial and the passing of sentence. The sentence comes as a big blow. 42 years is excessive for a crime of this kind. It is clear that the judge has decided to make an example of BLAKE.
18- EPILOGUE
BLAKE and HAMILTON are watching the reunion of Korean families divided by war and cold war. BLAKE very dramatically and with great passion reveals the true nature of global politics to the naïve young reporter. Amazed and horrified by the depth of deception, HAMILTON asks questions that delve deeper into the heart of things. BLAKE describes the secret governments operating behind the scenes. What makes the revelations powerful is that they are made by a man who knows, a man who works behind the scenes, and who watches the political puppet masters pulling the strings firsthand. The scene ends with more footage of joyous families reuniting for the first time in fifty years.
GODSE
ONE PAGER
GODSE is the story of Gandhi’s life from his early days studying for the Bar in London to his assassination and beyond. It tells the story from the side history has never got to here, the story as told by Nathuram Godse, the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi.
The story opens in 1890 with young Gandhi in London, where he studies law. He has clandestine dates with a young woman quite inappropriately having left his young bride back in India.
A century later, two free-lance documentary filmmakers go off to India in search of the real Gandhi. Their investigations open a can of worms as they come across the ten surviving pages of Gandhi’s London Diary. They soon learn that in his London days, Gandhi is initiated into Freemasonry and through that open door – Her Majesty’s Secret Service.
They soon discover that Gandhi is a far more complex figure than they had imagined. They follow his career to South Africa, where they learn by sifting through archived material that Gandhi lied about the racial train and coach incident, where he was purportedly thrown off a train at Pietermaritzburg Station. They learn that the Editor-in-Chief of the Indian Opinion newspaper, Rev. J.J. Doke, opportunistically turned Gandhi into a martyred saint for political motivations. By comparing the four biographical and autobiographical accounts of the incident, they discover the fraud Gandhi committed on the world’s citizens.
The filmmakers imagine placing Gandhi on the witness stand and subjecting him to cross-examination. A fictional courtroom trial is shown, in which Gandhi is cross-examined by the filmmakers. Under cross-examination, Gandhi is exposed as a fraudster, who has lied about his past for political advantage. This is an effective counterpoint to the later real-life trail of Gandhi’s assassin, Natharam Godse.
The two free-lancers manage to dig up Gandhi’s past as a campaigner in South Africa. As Gandhi addressing a body of fellow Indians in a town hall in Johannesburg, he raises a motion for a permanent Indian militia in South Africa. He proposes forming a volunteer ambulance corps of Indian stretcher-bearers to convince the British that they are loyal followers of the British Empire.
Gandhi becomes a sergeant major in the British Army. His ambulance team joins the British in their effort to suppress the Kafir uprising. Our free-lancers discover that Gandhi acts as a recruitment officer for the British Army in the Boar War, WWI and WWII. The filmmakers also learn that Gandhi had secret meetings with arms dealers and a Muslim terrorist organization known as the Muslim League.
The plot to murder Gandhi is hatched in England by agents of the Inns of Court law schools. The first murder attempt fails, but the assassins try their luck a second time. Gandhi is assassinated and Natharam Godse is arrested in the square before hordes of onlookers. He is later hung before a cheering crowd.
Our filmmakers read Gopal Godse’s book May It Please Your Honour based on the courtroom testimony of Gandhi’s assassin Natharam Godse. Natharam Godse is on trial for the murder of Mahatma Gandhi. He gives his courtroom defence, but the Congress Party of India ensures that not a word of Godse’s defence is published in any of the Indian newspapers. The police steal the notebooks out of the reporters’ hands and destroy them right in the courtroom.
Godse’s courtroom testimony exposes Gandhi as a traitor and agent of the British Crown. He implicates him in the partitioning of India and Pakistan, an act he performed as an agent of Freemasonry, and accuses him of being a traitor.
The story ends with a montage sequence of the history of Masonic machinations in world affairs over the course of the 20th century.
THE DAUGHTERS OF KOMUNDO
TWO PAGE SYNOPSIS
SETTING
KOMONDO is an island just off the east coast of Korea in the Sea of Japan. It was named FortHamilton by the British, who used it as a surveillance and reconnaissance post for monitoring the Soviet advance eastward.
But this story begins there and migrates to other locales, including Seoul and other locations on the Korean peninsula including Kwangju, the site of the historic massacre of pro-democracy demonstrators featured in PART FOUR of the four-part TV miniseries, Seoul, the main theatre of war in the Korean War, and North Korea.
The story then migrates to ENGLAND in PART TWO, where Meehee goes in search of her English relatives, as they are the only living survivors after both her English father and Korean mother were tragically killed on the Island of Komundo in a massacre of Christians which took place under Prince Regent Dongwangun.
The story later migrates further west to America in PART FOUR, so the story is set in three countries and may be one of the broadest canvasses in TV miniseries history.
The story encompasses Korea’s tragic and bloody modern history from the late 19th century to the Seoul 1988 Olympics, passing through a succession of tragic histories including the cruel and bloody Japanese Colonial Era, WWI, WWII, the KOREAN WAR, and the post-war dictatorships of PARK CHUNG-HEE, CHUN DOO-HWAN, and ROH TAE-WOO, including the KWANGJU MASSACRE, in which many pro-democracy demonstrators were mowed down indiscriminately by machine gun fire.
HOW STORY CAME ABOUT
The story is based on Korean novelist PARK YOUNG-SOOK’s novel KOMUNDO, which was a bestseller in Korea. She then subcontracted the writing of the screenplay to TIMOTHY BURNS WATSON, the screenwriter of this project. WATSON adhered only to the main storyline involving a FOUR GENERATION MOTHER AND DAUGHTER FAMILY SAGA.
MAIN CHARACTERS
The main characters in this four-part TV miniseries are the mother and daughter cast beginning with OKEE, then MEEHEE, SOOKEE and JIYOUNG. Other main characters include the lovers, friends and enemies who surround them throughout.
OKEE’S STORY
OKEE witnesses the beheading of her mother and a host of other Christians at a shrine on the Island of Komondo. Okee finds her mother’s ring still on her hand and uses it as a passport to freedom. Her new life as a kept woman of a rich nobleman is far from ideal, but she manages to survive and later return to her island home.
A British sailor stationed on a ship just off the coast of the Island of Komundo falls in love with a Korean woman named OKEE he meets by chance during one of his island visits. They meet secretly and conceive a child together. She is later exiled for this liaison with a foreigner. Peter is later killed at sea and OKEE is then abandoned to an even sorrier fate.
MEEHEE’S STORY
MEEHEE leaves in search of her English relatives. When she arrives, she learns her grandparents have recently passed on. She falls in love with a Korean diplomat stationed in Seoul, who is later murdered. MEEHEE later falls victim to a plot to have her mind-controlled as an assassin by the Japanese, who wish to use her to kill a prominent Korean freedom fighter in London. She is mind-programmed through trauma-based mind control to carry out the hit at an opera but is later exonerated when it is discovered that she has been deployed in a psyops program under the Japanese.
SOOKEE’S STORY
SOOKEE lives through a horrendous ordeal during the Japanese occupation of Korea during WWII, where she is forced into prostitution as a comfort woman for Japanese officers. She survives and ensures that her daughter JIYOUNG is spared the misfortune of the previous generations by encouraging her to go abroad.
JIYOUNG’S STORY
JIYOUNG is educated in America in compliance with her mother’s wish, but she longs to return to Korea to help with the struggle to bring greater human rights and democracy to the troubled country. She takes part in the pro-democracy demonstration in front of the legislature building in Kwnagju. The army opens fire on the demonstrators in a tragic incident and thousands of innocent people are mowed down in the now infamous Kwangju Massacre. Ji-young manages to survive the bloody Kwangju Massacre, when she is rescued by a kindly American who takes her under his wing and helps her escape. They manage to get the story of the massacre out to the foreign press and then flee for their lives, running through checkpoints and roadblocks and eventually succeeding in being smuggled out of the country on a cargo ship back to America.
