Best Answer

The short answer to your question is yes.

I imagine that the actual text is

Is that where we landed on that?

The interpretation is that in the course of the discussion there were several possible outcomes and they finally arrived at an agreement that it was stealing.

This is not a common idiom. It's easily understood but I'm not sure of its origins and I have never said it. Was this an old movie? Perhaps it's a usage that has fallen out of favor.
