Kaine Flynt

Kaine Flynt is a main rival of James Rodgers. His father is Darrius Flynt, a former street racer who made millions of dollars from racing. Kaine's father was killed in a race and Kaine was distraught. Kaine is an amazing driver and fighter. He has been recruited by many organisations and is also known by his code name **Mallet.** He has been on many missions and behind the scenes sometimes.

## ***The Meg***

Kaine Flynt attempts to save a group of scientists in a damaged nuclear submarine. As Kaine is rescuing the last survivor, he sees the hull of the submarine being rammed in by a giant creature. When he returns to the rescue vessel, two of his crew are trapped in the damaged submarine; Kaine leaves, realizing that attempting rescue would result in the death of everyone. Moments after leaving in the rescue submarine, the damaged sub is destroyed in an explosion. Kaine's account of the story stating that a giant sea creature was the cause of the disaster was dismissed by Dr. Heller, who believes that Kaine was affected by pressure-induced psychosis.

Five months later , billionaire Jack Morris meets Dr. Minway Zhang at an underwater research facility called Mana One, which Morris finances. Zhang and his daughter, Suyin, an oceanographer, are supervising a mission to explore what may be an even deeper section of the Mariana Trench concealed by a cloud of hydrogen sulfide, forming a thermocline. The mission is being conducted by Lori, Kaine's ex-girlfriend, and scientists Toshi and "The Wall" in a submersible. The mission appears to be going well until a very large creature collides with the submersible and causes it to lose contact with Mana One.

James "Mac" Mackreides, another crew member at the station, suggests sending Kaine down to attempt a rescue, citing the similarity to his story. Despite Heller's objections, Zhang and Mac decide to travel to Miami and recruit Kaine. While they are away, Suyin attempts the rescue herself by taking a submersible and diving beneath the thermocline. Her sub collides with the large creature before being nearly crushed by the tentacles of a giant squid. A giant shark attacks and kills the squid, saving her. Before the shark can attack Suyin, Kaine reaches them in a submersible and distracts it with underwater flares, then orders Suyin to return to Mana One. Kaine attaches to the damaged submersible and saves Lori and The Wall. However, when the giant creature returns to attack the subs, Toshi sacrifices himself by closing the hatch door, allowing Kaine, Lori, and The Wall to escape safely while he diverts the creature's attention to his sub.

Back at Mana One, Suyin's daughter Meiying witnesses the shark damage a section of the underwater level of the facility and the crew realizes that the shark followed them. The crew discovers that the shark is a megalodon, the largest shark ever known to mankind and thought to be extinct for millions of years. They discern that it escaped from the depths of the trench by swimming through a hole in the thermocline which Kaine's submersible created when breaching it. The group successfully tracks and poisons the megalodon. However, a second, much larger megalodon emerges and kills The Wall, Heller, and Zhang as it devours the smaller megalodon. The surviving crew makes it back to Mana One on two dinghies.

That night, Morris attempts to destroy the megalodon himself by ordering a helicopter crew to drop modified depth charges at it. He approaches the remains of the supposed megalodon in a boat but discovers it is a whale. The megalodon approaches the boat which accelerates, causing Morris to fall overboard and get killed by the shark.

Kaine and the remaining Mana One crew resolve to track and kill the shark. They realize that the megalodon is en route to a crowded beach on the Sanya Bay in the Chinese mainland. The megalodon kills several beachgoers before the Mana One crew projects audio of a whale call to divert the shark's attention away from the crowd and towards them. After attempts to shoot it with rigged torpedoes fail, Kaine manages to cut the megalodon's belly with his damaged sub, as well as stab it in the eye with poison which immobilizes it. Another megladon come and there are now 2 on Kaine. Kaine manages to crack one of the sharks' neck and it dies when other great white sharks attack. Kaine goes inside the other megladon and kills it from the inside out Suyin evacuates the rest of the crew to a nearby boat as other sharks approach and begin to devour the megalodon. Kaine leaves the surviving crew to go back home to America and Suyin considers taking a vacation.

## The Transporter

Kaine Flynt is a highly skilled driver known as "The Mallet." He will transport anything, no questions asked, always on time, and is the best in the business. He strictly follows three rules when transporting: Don't change the deal, No names, and Never open the package.

In Nice, Kaine is hired to transport three bank robbers with his black BMW 735i, but they hoist a fourth man in his car after the robbery. Explaining the extra weight will affect his precisely planned getaway, he refuses to drive until, in desperation, the leader kills one of his men who is pushed out of the car. Later they offer more money for Kaine to drive them to Avignon. He refuses the deal. The robbers escape in another car but are foiled by their amateur driving.

At Kaine's villa on the Mediterranean, local Police Inspector Tarconi (Berléand) questions Kaine about the black BMW that fled the scene of the robbery. However, with no real proof, Tarconi leaves. Kaine is then hired to deliver a package of 50 kilograms (110 lb) to an American, Darren "Wall Street" Bettencourt (Schulze), that is loaded into Kaine' trunk. While changing a flat tire, Kaine notices the package moving. Realizing a person is inside, he violates Rule No. 3 in order to give the person something to drink. He discovers a woman, who is tied up and also gagged with tape on her mouth (Shu Qi). She attempts to escape but Kaine recaptures her and returns her to the trunk along with two policemen who spot them.

Kaine delivers the package to Bettencourt as promised and agrees to transport a briefcase for him. Kaine stops to buy sodas for the cops in his trunk, but they are killed by the bomb hidden in the briefcase. Out for vengeance, Kaine returns to Bettencourt's villa, where he kills and wounds several of Bettencourt's henchmen. Kaine then steals a car to get away, only to find "the package" bound and tapegagged in the back seat. He brings the young woman, who is named Lai, back to his house.

Bettencourt visits one of his surviving men in hospital in order to determine who attacked his residence, before killing the man after discovering that Kaine is alive. The next day, Tarconi arrives and asks about Kaine's car, which Kaine claims was stolen. Lai says she is Kaine new cook and, afterwards, girlfriend, supporting Frank's alibi. Tarconi again leaves with no proof. Shortly after, Bettencourt's henchmen rain missiles down on the house. Kaine and Lai barely escape, using scuba gear, to a nearby safe house Kaine has prepared for such contingencies. Kaine is irritated by all the chaos, but Lai makes it up to him by seducing him.

While being questioned at the police station, Lai accesses Tarconi's computer to find information on Bettencourt. Lai tells Kaine that Bettencourt is a human trafficker with 400 Chinese (including her family) trapped in shipping containers. Lai and Kaine go to Bettencourt's office, where Bettencourt reveals that Lai's father, Kwai (Young), is also a human trafficker and that they are partners. Kwai arrives and his henchmen subdue Kaine. When Tarconi arrives, Kwai and Bettencourt accuse Kaine of kidnapping Lai. Tarconi has Kaine arrested and locked up in the station.

Realizing Kaine would not be constrained by search warrants, Tarconi agrees to aid Kaine escape as his faux hostage. Kaine then tracks the criminals to the docks, where they load the containers onto trucks. However, Kaine is spotted and is forced to fight his way through the guards, and fails to stop the trucks. He then steals a small airplane and parachutes onto one of the trucks. After a lengthy fight, Kaine manages to kill Bettencourt and some of his henchmen, only to be ambushed by Kwai once he gets out of the truck. However, Kaine is saved when Lai reluctantly shoots her father. Afterwards, Tarconi arrives with the police, and they rescue the people trapped inside the two containers.

## The Transporter 2

Kaine Flynt has relocated from southern France to Miami, Florida. As a favor, he becomes a temporary chauffeur for the wealthy Billings family. The marriage of Jefferson and Audrey Billings is under great strain due to the demands of his high-profile government job. Kaine bonds with their son, Jack, whom he drives to and from elementary school in his new Audi A8 W12. Later, a somewhat drunk Audrey shows up at Kaine's home and tries to seduce him, but he tactfully sends her home.

Kaine prepares for the arrival of Inspector Tarconi, his detective friend from France, who has come to spend his holiday in Florida with Kaine. When Kaine takes Jack for a medical checkup, he realizes barely in time that impostors have killed and replaced the doctor and receptionist. A lengthy fight erupts between villains, led by Lola, and the unarmed Kaine; Kaine manages to escape with Jack. Just as they arrive at Jack's house, he receives a phone call, informing him that he and Jack are in the sights of a sniper capable of penetrating the car's bulletproof glass. Kaine is forced to let Lola into the car; they speed away with Jack, shaking off many pursuing police cars.

They arrive at a warehouse, where Kaine meets Gianni, the ringleader of the operation. Kaine is ordered to leave without Jack. He discovers an explosive attached to the car and succeeds in removing it prior to detonation. Jack is returned to his family after the payment of a ransom, but unknown to them and Kaine, Jack has been injected with a deadly virus that will eventually kill anyone who the child breathes on.

Suspected by everyone except Audrey of being one of the kidnappers, Kaine tracks down the remaining fake doctor, Dimitri, with Tarconi's assistance. Kaine pretends to infect Dimitri with the same virus, then lets him escape. Dimitri panics and hurries to a lab to get the cure, with Kaine following behind. In his panic, Dimitri kills Tipov, another of Gianni's men, in his attempt to force the scientist in charge of the lab to give him the cure. Kaine arrives and kills first another henchman, then Dimitri (after revealing the Dimitri was not infected after all); but when Kaine refuses to bargain with him, the scientist hurls the only two vials containing the antidote out of the window into traffic. Kaine manages to retrieve only one vial intact.

Kaine sneaks back into the Billings home and tells an already ailing Audrey what is happening. He uses the antidote on Jack. Meanwhile, a coughing Jefferson, the director of National Drug Control Policy, addresses the heads of many anti-drug organizations from around the world at a conference; infecting all of them in the process.

Kaine drives to Gianni's home, and finds Gianni has decided to inject himself with the remaining supply of antidote as a precaution. After dispatching Gianni's many henchmen, Kaine has the archvillain at gunpoint. Gianni explains that a Colombian drug cartel is paying him to get rid of its enemies; and that Kaine cannot risk killing him, for his death would render the antidote unusable. An armed Lola shows up, leading to a standoff. Gianni leaves Lola to deal with Kaine; which results in Kaine finally killing her by kicking her into a wine rack with sharp metal points.

Kaine tracks Gianni, who is making an escape in his helicopter to a waiting jet. Using a Lamborghini Murcielago Roadster from Gianni's garage, Kaine speeds to the airport and boards Gianni's jet by driving onto the runway and climbing onto the jet's nose gear. After killing the co-pilot; Kaine gets into the interior of the plane and confronts Gianni, who pulls a gun on him. When they wrestle for it, a round kills the pilot and the plane crashes into the ocean. Kaine incapacitates Gianni by paralyzing him (rendering him immobile while preserving the antidote in his system), then pushes his captive and himself out of the sinking plane. Boats converge to pick them up.

The Billings are given the antidote. When Kaine visits them in the hospital, before entering their room, he sees them with Jack, who is joking with them. He silently walks back to his car, where Tarconi is waiting. He drops his friend at the airport. Alone, Kaine receives a call from a man who needs a transporter, to which he replies: "I'm listening."

## The Transporter 3

A ship arrives, carrying toxic chemicals that have killed two of its crew members. Kaine Flynt and Inspector Tarconi fish in the Marseilles when Tarconi receives a call about a black Audi A8 that has sped past French customs and evaded the police in a car chase. While Tarconi returns to headquarters to give Kaine's alibi, in Odessa, Ukraine, the Environmental Agency Minister, Leonid Tomilenko, receives a threat from Ecocorp boss Johnson to reopen business negotiations.

At night, the Audi crashes into Kaine's home, with a wounded transporter, Malcolm Melville, whom Kaine had referred when he declined a previous job. As paramedics take away Malcolm, Kaine discovers a woman in the back seat of the Audi who warns him not to take her from the car – she shows him a metal bracelet she and Malcolm have been wearing. Kaine rushes outside, but the ambulance explodes, killing Malcolm. Kaine is then knocked out by one of Johnson's henchmen.

Johnson places an explosive bracelet on Kaine, forcing him to take a package and the woman, Valentina, to Budapest. Tomilenko negotiates to postpone signing Ecocorp's agreement that would allow the ship with the chemicals into his country. While Tarconi researches into Johnson's motivations, Kaine goes off-course, visiting a garage to try to deal with the bracelet, but as he fends off Johnson's men, his mechanic friend Otto cannot disarm the device on the car. At Budapest, Johnson tells Kaine that he's fired. One of Johnson's men steals the Audi with Valentina inside, leaving Kaine to chase him down by bicycle and retrieve them both.

After Kaine and Johnson agree to call it even, Johnson sends him to Bucharest, but Kaine and Valentina are chased by a black Mercedes-Benz E-Class driven by Tomilenko's agents. After opening the package in the trunk, Kaine realizes Valentina is the real package. She then seduces Kaine by holding his car keys, resulting in them both having sexual relations. Valentina, who is revealed to be Tomilenko's daughter, explains that she was drugged in Ibiza and was transported by Malcolm in order for Johnson to blackmail her father.

Johnson redirects him to Odessa, where he and his men surround them on a bridge. Although Valentina is delivered to Johnson and her bracelet removed, Johnson's men shoot at Kaine's car. Kaine drives off the bridge into the lake, fooling Johnson into believing that he is dead, but survives by using the air from the car's tires to inflate a buoying device.

Aboard the train, Johnson lets Tomilenko talk to Valentina and gives him 15 minutes to sign the contract. After Tarconi and the Ukrainian police retrieve Kaine and the Audi, Kaine continues his chase and jumps the car on top of the train containing Johnson and his men. He takes out all of Johnson's men but cannot touch Johnson because he is too far from his car.

After Johnson separates the train cabs, Kaine jumps his car into the cab, and beats Johnson, strapping him with the bracelet and sending his car, which Johnson is restrained to, into reverse. Johnson breaks free, but is inevitably blown into pieces inside of the cab; Kaine reunites with and kisses Valentina in the rubble. Upon hearing from Tarconi that Valentina is safe, Tomilenko tears up the Ecocorp contracts before heading for his business conference. The cargo ship is raided by police and sent away from Ukrainian shores.

Kaine and Tarconi return to fishing in Marseilles; Valentina, who is assumed to be fully in a relationship with Kaine, suggests they eat out instead.
