Chinese New Year

is now celebrated throughout the world,

and we're about to witness a Spring Festival carnival parade

at London's Trafalgar Square.

There's so much festivity in the air!

Where have you been? You're late!

- Happy new year! - You, too.

- What are these? - Gifts!

Showing up late with only these? You've got some nerve!

- There's more. - Wait, I can't manage.

Where's mine?

The one I just juggled.

- If it's smashed, keep it. - I'll put it in storage.

Get lost!

He's here! Give me a hand.

- Here's Lei! - Uncle,

I wish you the best of luck and health.

Thank you so much!

- Happy new year! - So many presents!

- Jiahua! Give me a hug! - Godfather!

This young man works with my son-in-law.

He's super capable, and a decent man, too.

More importantly, he's single!

A kiss... Give Godfather a kiss!

My daughter is calling!

Hi, Dad! Happy new year!

Happy new year to you, too.

How's your sore throat?

I'm good. I took your advice and quit smoking.

Where are you?

I'm in Africa! Let me show you...

- Africa? - Can you see?

You have to stay alert.

Is your boyfriend with you?

I don't have one.

Fareeda, Meiwei is here. Chat with her.

- Fareeda, happy new year! - Dad.

- Dad, I'm losing you... - Meiwei, here...

Hello?

I don't have signal.

Fareeda... Hello?

- Juma, let's go! - Okay.

Poor connection.

Yes, like always.

Any time I want to start a conversation.

She's avoiding me.

No way! Don't overreact.

Sir.

The Qin couple has been kidnapped.

- Did you call the police? - Just called them.

There's a Chinese New Year parade. There are thousands of revelers.

All roads are blocked. The police will take time to respond.

Where is Qin?

On the move, but still in Chinatown.

Are there Vanguards in the area?

Two off-duty Vanguards nearby.

Send them to rescue Qin Guoli right away.

Yes, sir!

One.

Two.

Three.

Amazing!

See what Godfather has brought you?

- Godfather, who is that? - Captain China!

He looks just like your Dad.

Captain China is my dad!

Yes. Dear boy, give Daddy a kiss.

Our VIP clients are kidnapped.

Emergency deployment requested.

About 400 meters from your current location. Stay alert!

Copy that! Mom, we need to go. Come on.

- What's the hurry? - It's work.

Jiahua, keep your aunt amused.

Come on!

Honey...

We're in position.

- You bring your gun? - No, it's my day off.

- What about you? - Of course! It's with them.

Cover me.

- He's unarmed. - Let's split up.

Run!

Come with me!

Run!

Go inside.

Come on. Go.

Take cover.

Kaixuan, where are you?

I'm frying a pig's knuckle!

They don't pay enough for you to work this hard.

Who are you?

Jump!

I'm from Vanguard!

Go!

Miya, where are you?

I'm 30 seconds away.

Come, this way!

Hurry!

Come on. Get in, quick!

Don't shoot!

He's hurt.

- You all right? - I'm okay.

The gang that captured Qin are from the Arctic Wolves.

Their leader is Broto.

They'll do anything for money.

Why are they after you?

I had a business partner called Maasym.

I made him a fortune by selling oil and artifacts in Europe.

I only found out later he ran the gang Brotherhood of Vengeance.

I tried to quit, but it was too late.

Maasym forced me to arrange funds for him to buy weapons of mass destruction,

or he would kill me and my family.

Later, I tipped off the London police about him.

Seven months ago, Maasym was killed in a military operation.

His eldest son Omar survived.

So Omar sent the Arctic Wolves?

Yes.

If they can't get me, they'll go after my daughter.

Can you send someone to bring her back?

Where's she now?

Africa.

I'll see to it.

Sir, the intel from Qin has been verified by the London police.

Good.

The girl went alone to protect African wildlife

and risked her life to record poachers.

She's brave.

Among wildlife conservationists, she's an activist.

I have great respect for her.

Just look at her video, uploaded an hour ago.

Already has 400,000 hits!

Now we have more adversaries. We must find her quickly.

You've put on weight!

There she is.

- Juma, who are they? - I don't know.

Are you Fareeda?

Yes.

There are lions here. Back off.

Gosh!

They're real lions!

Lei, stay calm!

Stand your ground!

Your father sent us to come and fetch you.

They're here to kidnap you ! Come here now! Lei, go get her!

Sir, the lions are loose.

What are you afraid of?

It's a male.

There's also a lioness.

- Get the guns! - Yes, sir.

Follow me.

Stay with me.

Get in!

Help me!

Charlie! Help me!

Charlie, over here!

Who's Charlie?

Tell him to hurry.

Leave with her now.

Get in.

Come on!

Charlie, go away!

He's ignoring me. Don't move!

Hold still!

Why is no one listening?

Don't run!

Lie down and play dead!

- I'm dead - What?

What do you use the gun for?

Elephants.

Juma, are you okay?

- What about you? - I'll manage.

Yuanxu, what's the status?

We've located Lei 20 kilometers away in the jungle,

moving towards the southwest.

Vehicles can't pass through an old forest. Go on foot and be careful!

Miya, take them to the hospital.

- Okay. - Be careful.

Sir!

You should be taking them to hospital. What are you doing here?

Jonathan can take them. I'm going with you.

Come on then.

Calling London HQ, please come in.

Roger that. We've located Lei.

The coordinates show he and Fareeda are in an avian observatory.

His vital signs are normal.

- Copy that. - Keep moving.

We need to get there before daybreak.

You awake?

What kind of bird is that? Take a look.

Okay.

Bird of paradise!

These birds spend their lives searching for happiness and freedom.

When they meet their own kind, they dance for each other.

Tribal people used their feathers to decorate themselves.

They were prized in Europe in the 19th century.

But because of excessive hunting, they're so rare now.

You hang out with lions and exotic birds.

You're a carefree spirit, a romantic at heart,

in pursuit of your dreams. You must be a Virgo.

I think you're a Virgo.

How could you tell?

Are you really?

- Let's get out of here. - Sure.

Two unidentified vehicles are heading for Lei.

They're three minutes away.

Okay. Got it.

- Got 'em all, sir. - Let's go.

Hop in, sir!

Move over, let me...

- They're coming! Hurry! - Move!

Hurry!

Hurry up, hurry!

Hold on tight!

Virgo, help me!

Virgo...

Help!

Hang in there, Miya!

Help! Help!

Miya!

We're done for.

Brace yourself, jump!

Here!

Over here!

What are you yelling for? They can't hear you!

Over here! Over here!

I volunteer myself

for the release of my daughter and your colleague.

No, you mustn't. It's dangerous.

There must be another way.

I'll be fine, trust me.

May I have a word in private?

Of course.

Give us a minute.

I'll be fine.

What are you hiding?

I'm the only one who knows where Maasym's assets are.

I have to settle the score with Omar.

Mr. Tang, if they use this money to buy more weapons,

many lives will be at stake.

Protecting the innocents is our paramount duty.

Greed is the root of all evil.

One, two, three, four...

- Hi, Jiahua. - ...five, six, seven, eight, nine.

Dad, this is for you.

My dear boy!

- What brings you here? - He wants to give you a present.

Present? What for?

Because I wanted to.

It's your birthday today!

Daddy is so absent-minded!

Hold on just one sec...

- Who's that? - That's Daddy.

- Daddy? - To him, you are Captain China.

- Really? - What did we discuss?

What about Captain China?

He's mightier than Captain America!

- He's awesome! - He's awesome!

He's awesome! Give me five!

But he's much stronger than me.

- Daddy's the strongest! - Now give Daddy a kiss.

Thank you, sir. Thanks, everyone. I'll make a wish...

for Lei's safe return.

Daddy's awesome!

Please share the cake.

Okay.

Here.

A baby panda for you! Take it.

Say, thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Just call me bro!

Bro!

- Right. Call her auntie. - Say auntie.

Who are you calling auntie?

Sis would do.

- Sis! - Good boy.

Okay, let's go out with sis, and let daddy get back to work.

Go. Go play with auntie.

Stop misleading children!

Lei has been with Vanguard for five years?

Five years, three months and 28 days, sir.

This operation is challenging.

Since you're still recuperating...

why don't you stay behind as back-up?

What are you trying to say, sir?

Your boy drew this?

Yes.

Quite frankly, I'm not sure how this will turn out.

Jiahua has already lost his Mom.

You should stay to look after him.

But I want to make him proud.

You are now our CEO, you don't have to go.

I've a duty to bring my team back.

Fine. Then let's go together.

Yuer...

I think we should order some of these.

Gorgeous.

- Gorgeous! - You don't say.

We are entering uncharted territory.

We'll be up against extreme dangers.

You are the best of the best,

virtuous and trustworthy, loyal and reliable.

For our obligations,

for our comrades-in-arms,

we must overcome all odds!

We must return triumphant!

In triumph!

In triumph!

Let's go!

Jiadebala dates back a thousand years.

It's home to many priceless relics.

When the Brotherhood captured the city,

they sold off artifacts, smuggled drugs and made a fortune.

The locals have become their hostages.

If government forces were to attack,

the city could be destroyed overnight.

Can we trust Kalasu's friend?

Will he help us?

Abati is the best chef around.

His only son was shot dead by drug gangs.

Come.

This special war paint will save me from getting killed by friendly fire.

These two bulletproof vehicles

are specially modified for Omar, just like armored cars.

Will they really kill us?

I don't want to die so young.

Show me your right palm.

Don't worry, you'll survive.

Why?

You have a long life line.

Don't worry, Vanguard will come for us.

But how?

I have good news for you.

Your father is on his way,

and your boss, too.

What do you want?

Where are you taking him?

Where are you taking him?

We're destined to cross paths again.

First you snatched someone from our grasp.

Now, I have you captured.

There aren't many who can get even with us.

My boss sees something special in you.

Work with us,

you'll earn more in a year than a lifetime.

We are different.

We both risk lives for money. What's so different?

Be content, know your weaknesses. Things you can do, things you can't.

What are you talking about? I don't understand.

Never indulge in desire.

Know yourself.

Know what you should do,

know what you shouldn't do.

You've learned our tongue,

but not our ethics.

They're strapping a bomb vest on Lei...

with a timer.

- Good evening, brothers. - Good evening.

- Come try some snacks. - Thank you.

Got to go.

Go!

Even wearing my mask this place reeks like hell!

I can't stand it anymore. Keep moving!

The masks are no match for the smells.

Too stinky. Too stinky.

At twelve o'clock, four gunmen are heading north.

At three o'clock, one armed man is standing guard.

All clear on the south side.

You do your usual beat.

We're in.

Everything's normal.

- Split up as planned. - Copy that.

- Explosive all set. - Go!

We've located Lei on the rooftop.

There are two snipers lurking at twelve o'clock.

I'm in position.

- Dad, dad! - Don't move!

Dad...

I'm standing on bouncing mines!

Get down!

Kaixuan, we have no time!

- Let's deal with the vest first. - Don't worry about me, just go!

Cut the bullshit!

They're so sneaky.

Whichever wire I cut will set it off.

Just leave.

I can deactivate the bomb by freezing the battery.

Now the bouncing mines!

Kaixuan, there's nothing you can do.

You have a son. You need to stay alive.

Just go! Run!

Take your feet off, the mines will bounce up and explode mid-air,

decimating everything within 14 meters.

Jianping, behind you!

Yanlong!

- You go first. - Okay.

On my count of three, jump!

One, two, three...

jump!

Let's go.

Go help Fareeda!

Go!

Stay with me.

I can't be shot.

Me neither!

They're over here!

Here.

Catch it.

Pull out!

- Come... We need everyone! - On the double!

Omar needs help! Mohammed, come with me.

Block all the exits!

Hold your positions and lock the gate!

What are you doing? Get out!

Are you all right?

- I'm fine. - Let's go.

Abati and Mohammed are just blocks away on their way to pick you up.

This way, quick!

Yanlong, cover me.

Take this.

Move him!

Hang in there! Let's go!

Zhou, pull out!

Go.

Get in, quick! Get in.

- Pull out, I'll cover! - Copy!

Get in, quick!

I can't detect Kaixuan's vital signs.

His vital signs are gone!

They're closing in. We need to go now or we'll be trapped.

I'll find Kaixuan and bring him back.

- Sure, be safe! Cover him! - Yes, sir!

Yanlong, are you all right?

- I'm okay. - Let's go.

Kaixuan!

Hurry up.

Hang in there, bro!

Pull out!

Go now or it'll be too late!

- Go, let's go! - They just want me!

- Qin! - You all leave!

Come back!

- Dad! - Go back!

- You come back! - Stop, stop!

Come back!

Get my daughter out of here! Quick!

Remember our deal.

Dad, don't!

Dad.

- Dad! - Get in.

- Quick! - Come on!

Hang in there!

Buddy, don't die on me. Stay alive!

Kaixuan, wake up!

Remember your son Jiahua.

You said you'd be his hero. You promised!

Wake up now! Wake up!

Come on!

Kaixuan, wake up.

Wake up, you hear me?

Take cover!

Hold tight!

Hey, buddy. Stop, you're hurting me.

The rollercoaster ride did the trick!

Did you just kiss me?

I'm all yours now!

My son gave me this.

Our son is the best!

Relax, your father will be fine.

They need him alive.

I know where to find them.

Sir, can we carry firearms?

You understand Chinese?

I can understand, though I don't speak much.

He's a serial womanizer.

Loves dating models and small-time actresses.

He has a violent temper.

Arrested last year for beating up a girlfriend.

Typical scumbag!

It'd be better if we can hack his phones and credit cards,

then we can find out more.

No problem.

But they are careful and alert. They're hard to infiltrate.

How about a honeytrap?

Brilliant!

Why are you staring at me?

Didn't you always say I'm one of the boys?

I can't wait to beat up that scumbag!

Forget the honeytrap!

Not me!

Kaixuan, how about you?

Change the pose.

Great, a little more.

Good. Stroke your hair.

Good. Nice posture.

A little more, great!

Wonderful! Turn around...

Laugh out loud! Gorgeous!

Great pose! Hold it right there.

Very good, the lighting is beautiful. Let's take a few more photos

We are almost done here. Let's shoot some more at the beach.

Darling, let's get changed first.

How's it going?

He works for Josef, a major arms dealer in the Middle East.

Let's find a way to hack their phones.

Darling, we need to hurry to catch the light.

Sure.

To the beach now. Light's fading.

So much for your honeytrap!

Dressing up like this and he still ignores me.

- Don't you think she's beautiful? - Of course.

- So gorgeous I can't even bear to look! - Keep walking.

- He's watching us from the balcony. - Good

Let's do it one more time.

Good, let your dress flutter.

Got it.

See, aren't they great?

All is not lost.

To copy, just place your phone next to his.

Come.

- How did it go? - I made a copy.

It's dad!

Send somebody to the car dealership right now.

How much is this?

About 2.2 million dirham.

That's about 4 million RMB.

This special edition costs 10 million RMB in China.

It's a bargain! I'll take one.

They're here.

A real bummer watching from the sideline.

Not for long.

Lei, take her to the police headquarters.

Fareeda, it's dangerous.

All the way from Africa to the Middle East,

as long as you were by my side, I came out of everything unscathed.

Please come with me. I have a duty to protect you!

Isn't it your duty to protect my father as well?

I can't lose my father.

Unless you knock me out with a tranquillizer,

I won't go with you.

You both have your own gear. What about me?

You've got this truck.

See you later.

What did we just miss?

- Stay here. - Be careful.

Get somewhere safe.

Stairs are over there!

- That's great! - Come, come.

Stay where you are.

- Dad! - Fareeda!

Wait, he's one of us.

Peace be upon you!

It's all over now.

Mr. Tang, nice to meet you.

Beautiful.

I heard from my husband that thanks to Vanguard

and their timely and vital info,

damages were kept to a minimum.

The way that your husband led the Dubai police

was a real eye-opener for us.

All in the line of duty!

- How do you do? - Thank you, Vanguard.

Don't you have something for her?

How did you know, sir?

Nothing escapes me.

Go on!

Get out of here!

What have you got for me?

Wait.

That's great!

Mission accomplished. Hope you like it.

Yes, I love it.

Thank you.

Don't thank us, thank the bees!

Lantern festival!

- Sure. - Come on.

Happy New Year!

Prosperity and good health to all!

Whoosh! I'm almost--

The jet ski landed on me

and I couldn't push it away or get up.
