Thank you.

Open the car.

Open the car.

Forgive me, Consul Han, but I believe we can ill afford to lose men of your high

character. And speaking as a friend who's fought side by side with you for

years, I will sorely miss the unshakable support you've given the Royal Hong

Kong Police.

So, on behalf of all Brits who've ever carried the shield in Hong Kong, we

miss you.

We wish you nothing but happiness as you take up your new post in the United

States. Ladies and gentlemen, Consul Hahn.

Thank you, Thomas.

Now, you know, Thomas is not going to make this evening easy.

Excuse me.

Commander Griffin.

I am pleased to be able to leave you and Hong Kong with a special gift tonight.

Earlier this evening, Detective Inspector Lee and his special task force

once and for all crushed the Jintao criminal organization and reclaimed

artifacts from 5 ,000 years of China's heritage.

This is the kind of legacy I dreamt about.

Hong Kong forever.

To Hong Kong, forever.

Shuyang. Why didn't you tell me you weren't coming with us?

I'm looking for time.

When? After I leave?

Shuyang, I'll miss you after you leave. You're my best student. Your mom will be

proud of you.

Remember, when you're in the U .S., keep practicing.

It'll be good for you.

I don't think the U .S. suits me.

I don't have any friends.

When you're in the U .S., you'll meet a lot of friends.

And you must be the most popular.

Look.

Thank you. Don't worry.

America is a very friendly place.

Man, how many people you gonna kill this year? Stop it, man. Come on, let's do

it. Come on. Come on. Come on, man. Don't be late again. I ain't gonna be

Come on.

What we got?

Ooh,

that's tight.

That's beautiful.

That's nice.

What's that?

That's C4.

That's C4? That's C4.

Oh, man.

What's the problem?

Ain't no problem, man. I've been looking everywhere for this shit, man. How the

hell you find some C4?

You don't know how you make me feel, man.

The Iraqis can't even get this shit, man.

Where'd you get this from?

It's a hot ticket.

You don't know how happy you may be, man. You got what I want, I'm going to

what you want. Let me go get that money, man. It's the boy from the car.

Hey, officers!

Put your hands above your heads. What's wrong, officers? Just do it now!

LAPD. You under arrest.

Su Yang, come on. We're going to be late. Let's go.

Excuse me.

Telephone. China.

Su Yang,

I love you. Have a nice day.

Will you be home after school?

No.

I am going to pick you up myself.

Bye.

Bye.

Hello?

Hello?

Rush Hour.

will be ready by this weekend.

Yes, sir. Your opening remarks at 7 .30.

Excuse me, Consul Han.

I'm Warren Rutt with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This is Agent Whitney.

We need to speak with you in private, sir.

time for you, Counsel, but I want you to know we're going to get your daughter

back.

Yes, Bill, you can have her back alive.

We have the best agents in the world in this house and on those streets.

I would like one of my people to help.

Well, let me assure you, Counsel, the FBI considers this a top priority. We

plenty of people on the case.

Mr. West, I am not an American.

My daughter, she is not an American. I understand that, sir, but... She's

already on the plane.

I trust you would treat him with the same courtesy as you have shown me.

Yes.

Ten people just jumped out of the trunk.

I would start handling all of them, just started slapping them, throwing them

everywhere. Then two stupid cops came out of nowhere, messed everything up,

then I regrouped. I had to save their life. It might be in the paper that it

ain't in that way. Anyway, I saved their life, and then I would start running

and trying to get the bomb. I can't believe you went without me.

Hey, I'ma talk to y 'all later, all right? I'ma tell you the best part, I

to work. I have to work. You know, this is why nobody will work with you, man,

but you're the only cop in the department without a partner.

Johnson, look, look.

First of all, if you want to go out on a date with me, you're gonna have to wait

on the list like every other woman, okay? And second of all, I work alone.

I don't want no partner, I don't need no partner, and I ain't gonna never have

no partner.

Did Kojak have a partner? Yeah, the fat guy.

Well, he wasn't ever with him. Look, did Columbo have a partner? Look, Captain,

you ordered me to go with you on that bus because you needed bomb squad

But once again, you screwed me and you screwed yourself.

Look, Johnson, it's dangerous out there.

It's safer for you to be right here behind the desk.

You know, we were supposed to be on the same team.

Team? Johnson, this the LAPD. We the most hated cops in all the free world.

My own mama ashamed of me. She tell everybody I'm a drug dealer.

Ain't no team.

You're pissed off for me, baby. I'm on the verge of leaving all y 'all suckers

behind. Oh, actually, you're on the verge of being suspended.

Have a nice day.

Johnson, somebody told you I was being suspended?

Good playing, girl.

I know you're playing.

Johnson, somebody told you I was being suspended?

This is a problem.

That's all I need is some foreign national getting his head blown off and

turning this into an international incident.

What can we do? He's on his way.

Call the field office, have them send over a rookie.

We'll have him escort this guy around town for a couple of days, pretend to

follow some leads, show him some sight, keep him out of our way.

Warren, you sure you want to do that to one of our own men?

What do you suggest?

Well, as long as we're going to humiliate someone, might as well be

Well, even if I had an extra man, who would want such a bullshit assignment?

Well, it's a disgrace to me.

It's a disgrace to my department.

It's a disgrace to... Dan, I'm sending someone right over.

Captain,

I know you read the paper. They lying.

You know I wouldn't do nothing like that. They over -exaggerate. You know

the paper is. They just want a story.

Two officers were shot.

One man lost a pinky.

But did nobody die?

You destroyed half a city block.

That block was already messed up. And you lost a lot of evidence.

We still got a little bit left. What you did was dangerous and completely

against policy.

And not only that, you did a good job.

What?

Everyone around here is so image conscious. Everybody's so afraid of

goddamn shadow.

It's nice to meet an L .A. detective who's willing to lay it on the line.

See, ever so often, we have to let the general public know that we can still

blow shit up. You're goddamn right. That's the only way I work, Cap.

So that means I ain't getting suspended.

Suspended? Are you kidding? I don't even know why I said that. I got a call from

the FBI.

A 10 -year -old daughter of a Chinese diplomat was kidnapped this morning, and

they want you on the case.

FBI want me? That's right.

Stop lying.

I don't lie. Tell the truth.

I'm telling the truth.

Congratulations, Carter.

You are going to the show. Hey, I ain't going to let you down. I'm going to look

out for you when I go to the top. I'm going to make you mad. I'd rather you

didn't.

Yo, take care of that foot.

Carter!

Yo, I need one of those deer pieces immediately, all right?

Hey, how you doing?

I want the council's personnel records cross -checked with that new list we

received from Interpol.

See if you can make any matches or connections.

Okay, boys, what do we got?

Have we checked the council personal records yet? I want to know who's he

talking with, who's he been dealing with.

Okay, come on, give me the story. Any demands?

Any fingerprints?

Have we interviewed the staff?

Whitney, who is this?

Give me a copy of that.

James Carter, FBI.

Warren, he's here for the special assignment.

Oh.

I'm Agent in Charge Warren Russ.

Good to have you on board. I've been waiting a long time for this. You guys

do take a long time to process an application.

Well, Carter, your particular assignment is considered G14 classified.

Now, why don't you and I take a walk, and I'll fill you in.

Okay, Warren.

G14 classified.

That's good.

You don't understand. This is my dream.

I'm very excited about working with the FBI.

Well, I'm glad. Listen, his name is Lee, and the director considers this a top

priority. No disrespect, sir, but he's only going to get in my way. I'm not

to having a partner.

Now, I'm going to handle the situation for you, and I'm going to have to work

alone. Carter, he is the situation.

We must be a misunderstanding. I would sit down here for the big case, for the

kidnapping, the little girl. Don't forget the little girl. Your assignment

Lee.

Who is Lee, and what kind of assignment is that?

Lee is a foreign detective.

He's a personal friend of the consul's. Now, it's your job to keep him out of

sight and away from danger. You understand?

Yeah, I understand you want me to babysit somebody, but I don't do that. I

down here for the big time. The truth is, this is an FBI operation, and I

need any help from the LAPD or some Chung King cop.

You got it?

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Why didn't y 'all put one of your own men on this top priority case? And what

the hell am I supposed to do with him? Take him to the zoo? I don't give a

I just don't want to see him or you until this thing is resolved.

Now, his plane arrives in an hour.

We want to make a good impression, Carter.

It's his first trip to America.

Hey!

This is bullshit!

Please tell me you speak English.

I'm Detective Carter.

Do you speak any English?

Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?

I cannot believe this shit.

First I get a bullshit assignment, now Mr. Rice -a -roni... I don't even speak

American.

Come on, man, I'll ride over here.

Put your bag in the back.

Put your bag in the back!

No, no, no, no, no.

You put your own...

Captain,

I don't think this is funny.

No, I'm serious, Captain. I ain't playing. You need to call the FBI and

them you made a mistake.

I can't do that, Carter.

I'm sure that you and Mr. Lee will have a nice time together.

I'm warning you, man. You better call the FBI or I'm going to drop his ass off

at Panda Express.

You drop this case, Carter, you're suspended for two months without pay.

All right, well, you can forget about being male then.

Congratulations, Carter.

Looks like you finally got yourself a partner.

One little pinky get blowed off, man. Everybody tripping.

Chinese consul.

That's one place you can't go.

I ain't getting fired for nobody. You gonna pay my bills?

Too young.

That's the little girl?

Huh?

It's real funny. Get caught in a big G14 classified case.

I'm going to show the FBI. They don't know who they're playing with. I'm going

to start this case myself.

That's right.

But I want to show you something first.

Look familiar?

Just like home, ain't it? Look.

Just like home.

I ain't never been to China, but I bet you... probably look like this don't it

What you and your old Asian gang name of friends talking about these days? You

know anything about a kidnapping?

I don't know nothing.

Give me one of them star maps.

For $45. Do you understand what I'm saying?

All right.

Well, I might know a little something. I don't know nothing about no kidnapping,

but I'll tell you this. There's this dude who's buying up all kinds of

explosives, and people like he's going to start some kind of war. What's his

name? I don't know his name. You don't know his name?

For $45, I don't know his name. For $45? You better tell me something. I don't

know nothing for $45.

Sucky, you don't.

I didn't tell you nothing.

Now, stop this bus.

Hey, look!

Hey,

FBI needs a motorcycle. No way, man.

Put the gun down.

Put the gun down. I ain't playing with you, man.

You think I'm playing with you?

Don't move.

Drop your gun.

Hey, man.

Look, FBI.

I'm policeman.

I'm just showing him how to take a gun from a suspect.

All of a sudden, you speak in English now, huh? A little.

A little, my ass. You lied to me.

I didn't say I didn't. You assume I didn't.

Fool, I'll kick your little Beijing ass right now, man. I ain't scared of you. I

know you know that little tricky shit. Come on.

I'm not responsible for your assumption.

You full of shit. Do you understand that? You full of shit.

Not being able to speak is not the same as not speaking.

You seem as if you like to talk. I like to let people talk who like to talk. It

makes it easier to find out how full of shit they are.

What the hell did you just say?

I like people to talk. That's the easy thing. Call me one full of shit.

We both full of shit. You full of shit.

I'm going to kick your ass.

Don't nobody do that but me.

You want me to kick your ass, don't you?

You must take me to the council house right away.

Man, just sit there and shut up. This ain't no democracy.

Yes, it is.

No, it ain't.

This is the United States of James Carter now.

I'm the president, I'm the emperor, I'm the king.

I'm Michael Jackson, you Tito.

Your ass belong to me.

Why would they not want my help?

Because they don't give a damn about you.

They don't like you, I don't like you. I don't care.

I'm here for the girl. The girl don't like you.

Nobody likes you. You came all the way over here for nothing.

You ain't gonna be on... Bitch boy.

Oh, hell no.

You didn't just touch my goddamn radio.

The Beach Boys have great American music. The Beach Boys gonna get you a

ass whooping. Don't you ever touch a black man's radio, boy.

You can do that in China, but you can get your ass killed out here, man.

I'm gonna show you real music.

Yeah, that's real music. You hear that?

I must get to the consulate. What are we doing here?

It's called a shakedown.

Very serious police work.

And just watch me handle my business and control the space.

I want to help with the investigation.

This is my case.

Your case?

Look, you can back me up. When we get in here, you follow my lead and do what I

do, okay?

What's up, my nigga? What's up?

You don't know me.

I see what's going on here. Y 'all trying to play me like a fool. Y 'all

I'm a fool.

All right, look, Lee, go outside real quick. It's going to get a little

dangerous in here.

I may have some cramps.

Lee, go outside and wait by the bar. Man, when I told you, bag me up, go

outside. I'm going to take care of everything, all right?

You sure? I'm sure. Now go on, now.

Think I'm playing?

Hurry up!

Come here. Don't come up in here in my place of business scaring me like that.

God damn it, I was just playing, man. Give me a hug.

I'm just schooling that rookie man, showing him the ropes.

Why you come to church Sunday?

I had some things to take care of.

But I made a nice service, though. Yeah, yeah. Look, come here. I want to holler

at you.

What's up?

I need to know who this guy is running around town buying up all these

explosives and weapons.

I don't know nothing about that, baby. Luke, look, man, I know what you do,

And the only reason why I ain't busted your ass is because you're my cousin.

And the killer ain't Bootsy.

Why you gonna put Aunt Bootsy in this? Luke, I ain't playing, man.

You know she got a bad heart, but if I have to, I will bust your ass.

Tell me something.

The word down in Chinatown is there's this new dude in town.

Bad -ass dude out of Hong Kong.

Buying up every goddamn thing.

What's his name?

Shit, I don't know his name. I ain't buying shit from me. You don't know his

name? No.

Goddamn, don't nobody know his name.

Miami, Florida.

What's up, my nigga?

What did you just say?

What's up, my nigga?

I don't want to talk!

You better take your goddamn hands off my suit. Your mama bought me this suit

for Christmas. This is my favorite suit. Now let me go.

I'm going to see you Thanksgiving, all right? Appreciate it.

Hey, hey! It's your big Happy Meal asshole. Get over here and call him.

I'm still the law around here. Next time I come in here, y 'all better clean

this shit up.

And brush your teeth.

Let's go.

What are we doing here?

I'm going to go in and get me some meat.

You want anything, like a cup of noodles or something?

Carter, stop wasting my time.

I made a promise to Sooyoung.

You're right. I have been wasting your time.

I'm sorry.

Just let me go in here and get something to eat. When I come back out, I'm going

to take you wherever you want to go. Okay?

Okay. Take on it.

What are you doing? You ain't the only one with quick hands, are you?

I'll be right back.

I got you a beef and bean burrito.

We have a taxi cab approaching.

There's a man stepping out.

Asian.

We've got someone approaching the gate, dropped off by a cab.

Tell him to intercept.

Intercept. He will intercept.

Can I help you? Yes. I must see the consul.

About what?

Please, it's very important.

Why don't you tell us why you need to see the consul, huh?

We'll tell you whether it's important.

Do you have identification?

It's about his daughter, Su Yang.

Hands above your head!

He asked about the consul's daughter.

He asked about the daughter.

You don't understand. I was invited.

Don't move.

Throw your gun away.

He's going to kill him.

Is everything all right? Be safe for on the second floor. Let's go. Move.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about it.

He went over.

Stay away from the window, please.

Sorry, I'm late.

Wait here.

Excuse me very much.

Oh, yes.

No gun.

Where the hell is Carter?

I got to put her up with this. Look at her.

Say, man, y 'all seen a little Asian dude about this height with a steel

on his arm?

Go screw yourself.

What did you say?

I said go screw yourself.

You take your little sensitive ass up there and let me in. Get out of the way.

Don't make me get up out of this truck.

Man, when I get up in here, I'm slapping somebody. I don't play that.

What happened, Carter? It was your job. It ain't my job to be jumping on and off

of buses. I do not do that. I am not Carl Lewis.

Who is this man?

Sir, I can explain.

Agent Carter has been helping with my investigation.

He's upset that we have not done our job.

Me and Lee, uh...

taking care of the situation.

We have everything under control. We're on top of it. We're going to get your

daughter back safe and sound. He is very passionate about fighting your

daughter. Oh, you're my class, too. We wanted Detective Lee to have one of our

best men by his side at all times.

Agent Russ, maybe this is a good time to tell the consul the details of my

assignment. Yes. Yeah.

Carter, can I speak to you for a moment?

You want to speak to me for a moment?

In private?

See, this must be G14 classified.

FBI type stuff.

First, let me call my captain and let him know what's going on around here,

we'll talk in a second.

Oh, G14. I love when the G14 be coming around. Hello?

Who's this?

Hello? Am I speaking with FBI?

The FBI?

Yeah, this is the FBI.

You are FBI?

Yeah, this is the FBI.

If you want the girl back alive, listen and do not talk.

Okay, I'm listening. Let me get a pen.

All right, cool.

The drop will be made tonight, 11 p .m. The amount will be $50 million.

$50 million?

And who do you think you kidnapped, Chelsea Clinton?

Keep him talking.

In used currency, nothing bigger than 50.

All right, all right, cool, cool, cool. $50 million, no problem, no problem.

I want $20 million in 50.

$20 million in 50.

$20 million in 20.

$20 million in 20.

And $10 million in 10.

And $10 million in 10.

You want any fives with that?

What is your name?

What's your name, man? You called us. Why you want to know my name?

I just want to be able to tell the consul who is responsible for his

death because he talked too much. All right, look, man. All right, hold up,

up. Calm down, calm down. I'm trying to hook you up, man. I'm on your side, man.

You will receive instruction for the drop half an hour before it is to be

If it is successful, the girl will live.

I'm going to get you the money. I'm going to make sure you get the money and

can spend it together.

You know, when you get it, because I don't even really work for them.

We got it.

620 South Broadway, downtown.

That's team one. That's team six.

Six in Broadway.

Team two.

I want you around the back of fourth and main. Set up a perimeter.

Take your team and cover the building, floor by floor, all the way to the top.

Move.

They must not go into the building.

Yeah, you're right.

You're right. Let's go tell them. Come on.

Take position over there.

Mr. Ross,

you must put your men back.

What the hell are you doing here? Where's Carter?

Listen to me. Mr. Lee, you may be very confident, but the mere fact that you

know this girl compromises your judgment.

Sir, if you were asking for $50 million, would you be in a place like that?

Get this clown away.

Take a hike.

Why were you hiding?

What are you talking about? I went out. You were hiding. Man, I bent down to tie

my shoe and I looked up and you was gone.

Sir, the area is secured.

Room's empty.

Everybody pull back!

I do!

Get the paramedics down here, now!

Evacuate the building right away, get fire crews here! We got an explosion at

6th and Broadway!

do you

Because of you, he got away.

Why didn't you tell me about the bridge?

I did. No, you didn't. I did. No, you did not. I said stop.

I don't understand what you be saying.

What?

You see what I'm saying?

What's this in your hand?

He dropped it.

Fifteen seconds.

Make a decision.

Shut it!

Y 'all coming to bed, huh?

I got bad news for you, Johnson.

We're all dead.

I was distracted, sir.

Distractions can occur in the field.

That's why we call this practice.

If you can't handle the pressure, then quit.

Yes, sir.

Hey, man, give her a break.

John, don't worry about him. How you doing, girl? What's going on, man? How

doing? Give me some love. Why are you tormenting me?

Is there any kind of way to treat an old friend? I came down here to see how you

was doing, and I need some help.

Help?

I know that you have strong feelings for me, baby, but look, man, we got to put

that aside. It's a little girl's life at stake here. Come on, yeah? But when do

you care about anybody else but yourself?

Johnson, please just take a look at this for a second. We found this on one of

the kidnappers. Tell me what the hell this is. Come on, man. Oh, now you want

to work with you? You know, I don't have time for this. I got my own shit to

deal with.

Johnson, Johnson, Johnson.

Who are you?

Sorry we got you in trouble. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry we got you in trouble.

Look, tell me something about this I don't know, okay? Come on. It's a

Could be nitro cap. Could be cross -delay. Definitely not homemade.

not American. I mean, it could open up a garage door or blow up some C4.

C4?

Yeah, C4.

Okay. Okay. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go.

Hey, and I'm sorry about spreading all those rumors on Christmas about us

sleeping together. I'm sorry.

What?

He's just joking.

Bye.

Hey, Bobby. What's up, man?

I need to see Clyde Cardman. Oh, no way, Carter. Look, it's lights out. They

locked down. Well, you want me to lose my job?

I'm the one that got you this damn job. You better open this gate and let me in

here. Can't do it. Bobby.

Didn't I turn my back that time when you bought that bag of weed?

I was splitting it with you.

But didn't I give you the bigger half?

Come on, Bobby, now. Do me this favor.

You got five minutes.

Hey, Kyle.

Clyde, now why would I do something like that? You think I'm going to try to

trick you again?

Besides, I don't have to frame you. You're going to do life after they find

I don't know anything about a little girl.

That ain't what I heard. That's what I'm going to tell everybody.

I'm a security guard. I work at the mall.

Now wipe yourself off.

You're bleeding.

Oh, hell no. No, he just playing, man. He playing. He didn't mean that.

He meant cut me loose and let me go.

Don't move it!

I want these two back at the consulate immediately.

Let's take a ride, gentlemen.

You better get your hand off me. Hey, man, you with me?

Hey!

Just let me explain.

I'll start from the top. We were making the drop.

Han was about to get his daughter back, and you two screwed it up. Look, wait a

minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. What you talking about? Didn't you hear

what Lee said? Mr.

Lee is on his way to Hong Kong.

Now you get out of here before I file obstruction of justice charges against

you. Look, we was about to solve the case, and all we need to do now is go

here... You're no longer on this assignment, Carter.

Case closed.

It was all my fault.

Lee would never do anything to jeopardize your daughter's life.

He loves your daughter.

It's a little too late for apologies, sir.

We're ready.

Okay.

Boy? The ransom is now 70 million.

I will call tomorrow with the instruction. You either deliver the

up the body of your daughter.

Oh, please. You must understand, what happened tonight was not... Mama!

Are you okay?

Su -Yong.

Darn it.

Be sorry for so young.

No hot lead.

None.

Listen, we're doing everything we can here, right?

Tracing everything that's coming into this compound.

Excuse me, Consul, you have a guest.

Jack, let me get back to you, all right?

I'm here.

I'm sorry, my friend.

I couldn't stand by you enough.

Man, you got guts calling me. I'm gonna hang up.

Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Don't hang up. Look, you know

what? You was right about me, all right?

I'm sorry.

Are you on drugs? You was right. I was egotistic. I was inconsiderate. I was

self -centered.

Yeah? I used to work with partners, but look, it ain't about me now. It's about

the little girl.

She gonna die if we don't help her.

You understand what I'm saying?

Not yet, but keep talking.

Look, I think something big going down tonight.

All right?

And I need to find out where the council's going to be.

You think you can help me?

I'll see what I can do.

No, no, I don't need you to see, Johnson. I need you to do it. Can you do

Okay, Carter.

All right, one other thing.

Yeah?

What color panties you got on?

Hello? Council Han.

I want you to go to the Chinese Expo as you planned. Have the money in the

upstairs control room. Be sure to make no more mistakes.

I understand, but I want to speak with my daughter!

Excuse me, miss.

Who's the captain on this plane?

Look, it don't even matter. Look, you need to go up there, tell the captain we

got a problem on the left side of this plane.

Something wrong with the engine.

You need a new alternator. Now, my supervisor said, Willie, go on down

fix that plane. Put that alternator on that plane. Don't let that plane leave

till I come down there. So I suggest you need to go tell the proper authorities

not to move this plane before the FAA come down here and we all in some shit.

Go on. Yes, sir.

What are you doing here? Come on, Lee, now. Get your ass up now. We got work to

do. Go away. I've disgraced myself.

Lee, what about the little girl? What about... Leave me alone.

A man like you could never understand.

A man like me?

You are devoted only to yourself.

You're ashamed of being a police officer.

You dishonor your father's name. Look, you don't know nothing about my father.

You say your father is a legend. My father was a legend.

My father was killed making a routine traffic stop in broad daylight by some

punk who didn't want no ticket.

When his partner supposedly got out the car and backed him up, but never did.

My father was just as much devoted as you, and now he's dead.

And for what? A traffic ticket to some punk? You tell me, what's the honor in

that?

You believe for your father, a waste of his life, that he died for nothing?

You proved me wrong.

For 15 years, until China resumed control of Hong Kong, Juntao was the

powerful crime lord in Southeast Asia.

The British tried to close down his operation, but we failed.

But why the consul's daughter?

Detective Inspector Lee helped me raid every known asset of Jintao's operation.

We confiscated millions in weapons, cash, and a collection of Chinese art

was unsurpassed in the world.

Then Jintao disappeared.

No witnesses.

You really think you'll kill the girl?

My advice to you is... pay the money.

Counsel, I'm going upstairs to make the drop. Now, I want you to remain calm as

if nothing's wrong, and don't leave Agent Whitney's side even for a moment.

I understand

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

I am Consul Han.

On behalf of the People's Republic of China, thank you for coming.

I am pleased to present 5 ,000 years of China's history and heritage.

A collection which until recently was thought to be lost forever.

Nice shit.

That boot will go good in my bathroom.

Hey.

This is the history of my country.

Precious pieces of Chinese culture.

If anything gets damaged... Don't worry about it. Ain't nothing gonna happen to

none of this stuff.

And now, we can pass them on to our children.

Pardon me.

Hey, wait a minute. I've seen that guy at that Chinese restaurant.

Uncle Don has been fighting flu for the past few days, so perhaps I should

finish what he started.

Look, the first thing we've got to do is clear out this riffraff.

If anybody stays behind, they've got something to lose.

Wait right here. I'll be right back.

...creating a peaceful future between our two countries.

The more we see the differences and similarities... Excuse me, ladies and

gentlemen. I'm Detective Carter from the LAPD. We've got Carter down here.

What the hell is going on down there? We just received a threat on the building.

We ask that you please exit the building as soon as possible, and please do not

panic.

Did you hear what I just said? Get your shit and go out the door. Hurry up, get

your head out of here. I don't believe this.

Have all the agents hold their positions.

All right, everybody, take care of holding your positions.

What is going on?

Xun Tao!

Xun Tao!

Uncle Khan?

Six blocks of C4 are wired to your daughter in a car outside.

You know, before the changeover, most of this exhibition was in the hands of a

single private collector.

Me.

I worked most of my life to acquire and catalogue these priceless... pieces that

you see before you.

And then in one fell swoop, it was taken away from me.

But tonight, I shall be paid in full.

Don't move.

She dies if I press this button.

Just be patient.

My transportation will be here shortly.

Take calm

Hey

man, I was just gonna tell you using the red zone

Tell your friends about me.

Hey, how you doing?

We've been looking for you. I'm Detective Carter from the LAPD.

okay now, okay? I'm going to take you to your daddy, all right?

And the first thing I'm going to do, I'm going to take this vest off you. No,

don't touch it!

I think it'll be safer if we take it off.

No!

Okay, I think it'd be safer if we leave it on, okay? Don't move.

Where are you?

Don't move!

Hold your positions, goddammit!

Do not draw your weapons.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we'll call that an evening.

Thank you, and good night.

Got something you want?

Huh? I got your bomb right here.

Su -Yang.

Mama! No, no, no, no. Mama!

Want to blow something up?

Huh? Come on.

Push the button.

Come on.

Push the button.

Where's the goddamn button? Where's the goddamn button?

You heard what she said.

Come on!

You had everybody excited about something being blowed up, and look at

little punk British ass. Come on!

Push the button!

Deal with it, please.

Where you going?

Come to council.

It's okay.

She's a professional.

We must take the vest off.

Give me a second.

Give me a second.

There's a trigger on this bat.

It'll blow if I take it off.

Haven't you done this before?

It's a little different in the practice room.

Everybody take cover. Whitney!

There are men down here!

Stay again.

Dan! Do you read?

That's all real.

The remote can still turn it on.

Get rid of it.

You okay?

Yes.

Turn around.

Go that way. Go.

Leave me on the roof.

Roger. Send eyes on Jeff.

I'm looking for your sweet and sour chicken ass.

Oh, your boys ain't here now? Where they at? They ain't here. You're all alone.

I killed him.

Go ahead.

Yeah? I don't even like him. Go ahead.

Put your gun down.

Fight like a man.

What'd you say?

Fight like a man.

Fight like a man?

Right. I'm gonna kick your ass.

Then I'm going to take your ass to jail.

All right.

Come on. Put the gun down.

Wipe yourself off, man.

You dead.

I was just being polite.

Well, next time be polite to my nuts.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Are

you

all right?

I'm fine.

I owe you everything.

Only your friendship.

What took you so long?

I think this belongs to you.

I

think

you should come with me, you know.

Get on the plane when you get off work, you know, your life is free.

Hey, Carter. I'm just a young black man trying to expand my horizons, you know,

travel a little bit, you know. Carter.

See the world.

Hey, what y 'all doing here? I'm through with y 'all, man. I'm finna go on

vacation. Now, hold on there.

We were just coming by to tell you what a great job you did yesterday.

And when you come back, there's gonna be an FBI badge waiting for you.

You serious?

Yeah. Oh, yeah?

Come on, man. Don't be playing.

I don't know what to say. It's like a dream come true.

I got an idea, though. I got an idea.

Why don't y 'all take that badge and shove it up your ass?

All up in your ass.

I'm LAPD.

Bitch.

First class. I like this. This is tight.

I like this. Can I take your jacket, sir?

My jacket?

No, no. You can take this bag, though.

How you doing?

What's up?

What's up, man?

You ready to go? Yep.

Mayor, I'll feed you some peanuts.

You never told

me you spoke Chinese.

I never told you I didn't. You assume I didn't.

Man, this is cool, man. Hong's let me go to Hong Kong with you.

You know I ain't been on no vacation in five years.

We can hang in my crib.

I will show you my hood.

You can show me a couple of them Chinese girls. When I get over there, I want a

massage. I'm going to get buck wild.

No police work for two weeks?

How long this play?

Fifteen hours.

Fifteen hours?

What are we going to do for fifteen hours?

Whoa. Oh, hell no.

Thank you.

What is this shit about your daughter?

$50 million?

Who do you think you got, Kelsey Clinton?

$50 million?

Man, people tell me shit.

What's wrong with you?

Man, my daddy once caught a bullet. Caught a bullet. Caught a bullet. Caught

bullet. My daddy want to caught a bullet by his bare hand.

No bullshit.

What's the honor in that?

You believe in your father wasting his life to die without her?

They must not kill her.

You're right, man. Let's go tell them.

Anything goes wrong, you bust in there and act like you're a L .A. piece of

lot.

He cannot speak English.

Man, this is cool, the hung sending us to Hong Kong.

How difficult is that? My English, you even cannot say three words. Chinese. I

You need some lunch? I got it before, Jackie.

I know how difficult I am.

You know that I like it when you call me puppy.

Puppy seems like baby, baby.
