An ivory fan from the Tang dynasty of Rai Shin.

The emperor's concubine, who fell fell madly in love with him.

But the emperor was suspicious.

He locked her up.

She was so passionate that the emperor died from the pleasure.

- His successor - . - didn't want them.

Perhaps fearing for his life.

You're Victoria Philips. Aren't you?

I'm impressed.

- Take the fan as - . - a gift from me!

- A $50,000 gift? I can't afford that - .

- But your clients - . - maybe.

Nothing more than the "Hong Kong Standard."

Oh!

Boss! Andy Chow is back there.

- I uh ... - If you change your mind:

Thank you!

- We don't want Beijing - . - losing face.

But one?

More distance to the showcases!

No chance! The collectors block everyone.

For some reason. They don't sell.

Loan not at all! The market here is different from Europe.

- As a foreigner, it's impossible ... - We need an insider.

- Someone who knows the market - .

Who has the confidence of collectors.

- Victoria! - Yes? - Can I see you speak briefly?

Chief Inspector Braddock and Colonel Kang.

- from Beijing have informed us about this:

The entire Haiman collection was Stolen last night.

- This is a joke! - I'm afraid not!

- We ask you to keep it from the press - . - yet to keep it secret.

- My colleague thinks the objects - . - are getting fast - .

- - found. - What makes you think - . - that you can do this?

We have evidence that the Haiman collection is already in Hong Kong.

We're gonna turn this whole city upside down.

Quick! In 2 weeks opens the exhibition.

Work with us!

- How do you imagine that? - Oh! So:

The thief will sell the collection here with highest possible profit.

They believe individual items in the collection will soon appear.

- Why? - "We'll talk tomorrow, When you get back."

Good luck tonight!

Hm! I heard:

He's often in the "dynasty club." In the Chung King Mansion District.

The club is his.

Of course.

- Dynasty? - Please!

So if you can think of anything I would be ... yes ...

We have given Lim a final ultimatum.

He didn't respond.

Now we have a dead man.

Of all people, Lim's foster father! And you found nothing!

We really searched everything. Maybe it was a coincidence ...

... and someone other has ...

I know Lim's behind this.

What makes you so sure? Only Lim -

- has the money, the information, -the intelligence,

- to help us with a score this size.

We have enough evidence for an interrogation.

Gentlemen!

You really showed him who's in charge here! Huh?

- Kwok got the security codes - . - from museum officials.

- They are on the take - . - Like everyone in the country.

I was just faster than Kwok.

- Hong Kong is corrupt - . - and in love with money.

- The new power from the mainland - . - is even worse.

This has nothing to do with it. It's immoral!

"Morality." The word has long since lost its meaning.

- All they care about here is - . - about "making money."

Also your client.

Who are you, Edward?

- I love freedom and promote the arts - .

- I hate crime - . - and corruption.

- I go my way. - And become a thief.

I'm saving the collection from poli- tic abuse and the Mafia.

- And what do you expect from me now? - Nothing!

I trust you.

You decide now, Where to go from here.

Why?

- I need to know if the collection - . - is the only thing you care about.

You're crazy.

How else am I supposed to find out?

Eh ... Woo?

Did Victoria Philips call?

No. She didn't.

Get the boys on it!

- I want to know where she is! - Okay!

* A phone vibrates buzzingly. *

"I'll handle this. Now."

Wai Jo! ... Wai Jo!

- Papa said you got him out out of trouble. - Yes. I did.

Mrs. Philips! A word, please! It's important.

- Two dead on Elbotstreet - . - In front of Edward Lim's apartment building.

I shouldn't have brought you moved in!

They're in danger, too.

Would you step in, please? Mr. Kwok -

- would love to have lunch with. you lunch.

Aha! ... And if I say no?

Please!

"This is going to be a major operation."

We storm and search the opera house.

And must seal off all entrances and seal off exits!

We will definitely. Get down to business.

It's been 15 years since the British have left.

And Hong Kong is better off. than ever before.

- Isn't this cause for celebration? - Where is Edward Lim?

Despite this! The residents of Hong Kong are afraid -

- their personal rights. yet to be lost.

You, on the other hand, can. after the work is done.

- back to Germany.

But we, we don't have a choice. but to stay.

Do you understand, Miss Philips?

Everybody here wants a piece of the pie.

But what Edward Lim is doing is. just self serving.

And you're a business partner. of his.

They'll already be looking for me. My husband is waiting for me.

- He will get the police ... - So many beautiful things ...

... can just disappear in ... Hong Kong.

Tatatata!

Do you understand me?

Mr. Lim! It was stupid to interfere in our interfering in our affairs.

I hope you're smart enough to know ...

... when you ... lost!

I guess I have no choice.

But God help you, If you touch her!

- Edward! ... No! - The bulk of the collection has been sent to -

- - a place where no one suspects her - . At the opera.

- "At the opera"? - Yes.

- (Quietly:) The best bits - . - are elsewhere.

- Are you guaranteeing that Victoria get out of the country - .

-this is how we do business.

Take her to the opera!

Lose!

* She sings very high. *

The show's over! * The woman speaks Cantonese.

What are you doing here? I'm the manager.

Set! Now! Sit down!

* Chinese *

You want the collection? Well, here it is!

- In the set and decor - . - is the whole collection!

Very clever!

Presenting Treasures of the Tang Dynasty under your nose.

- of our communist friends,

- to the paying public and sends touring the world.

Brilliant irony!

Stop! ... Police!

Lower your weapons! ... Now!

- The exits are - . - All occupied.

The building is surrounded.

There's no way out of here.

Edward Lim! You're under arrest for murder, theft, and receiving stolen property.

You can be silent. What you say,

- can be used against you. can be used against you.

- This is how we do things - . - Here in Hong Kong.

Edward!

* Piano music *

Where's Marie?

Which is asleep.

We've been waiting for you.

Hartman just told me that the Haiman collection has been found.

There have been arrests for murder. Including this Edward Lim.

- You've been meeting on business with him! - Yes.

Don't say you had anything to do with it have anything to do with it!

I spent a night with him.

You what?

- I'll back that up in a - if need be. - statement in court to confirm.

You can't do that! Risk our marriage because of a criminal!

Our reputation! Our life!

He's being held innocent of Murder locked up!

"Innocent" is. something else.

If you do that, there's for us anymore.

- Our future, you have it yourself - . - unthinkingly put at risk - .

- Ah! We didn't expect you until Ah, we weren't expecting you until - tomorrow morning.

I want to make a statement.

I was with Lim the night of the murder. He was in the room when they shot.

- They incriminate themselves - . - with it themselves.

- Suspicion of complicity. - Yes.

Good. I'm going to have to ask you to stay here.

I hope you understand.

Victoria!

- Yes? - I suppose:

My wife testified.

- Can she go now? - The murder is one thing.

- But your wife deliberately - . - information about -

- - the Haiman collection - . - held back.

China will demand the extradition of all involved persons.

Your appeal that China's wishes must be followed be followed, we don't care.

The Chinese government destroyed almost its entire cultural heritage.

Without commitment from the outside, there would be such objects would no longer exist.

If I understand you correctly, these artifacts only -

- through the help of my wife. resurfaced.

Why would you turn them over to the Mainland police?

- It's not in my power ... - In a few hours it opens -

- the exhibition: "The Tang Dynasty."

No harm has been done.

My wife put herself out for the exhibition.

- Let her go! - Okay! Stop!

Because of me.

- I'll try to work this out somehow - . - with Colonel Kang.

But I can't promise I can't promise you anything.

Thanks for getting that got that right!

Ladies and gentlemen! The photo session is over.

Did you sleep well?

We have a problem. The collection is not complete.

We searched the opera house.

- The most valuable pieces are missing. - I'm sorry!

The authorities in Beijing know. Don't be so stupid!

Kang will be here in a minute.

Say where the rest is! The Judgement will be more lenient.

Not possible. The missing pieces are gone.

"Way"? ... Beijing claims:

- The missing pieces are millions - . - worth. Who were they sold to?

- Not sold. More like given away. - Really!

- Do we really have to fly today Fly already? - Yes. We have to.

- Goodbye! - Thank you!

Thank you! Goodbye!

They'll be with us for a bit. Of course!

So! What in the world is worth millions to you?

- I got a deal - . - with Kwok.

I told him where the missing pieces are.

He has my word. I have his. Victoria's life depends on it.

What a story!

- But once Kang shows up here ... - You know what they do with -

- you do when I break my word.

They know the rules. You Doesn't deserve this.

Well! She's a Impressive woman.

Yes. She is.

I'd let you go.

- I like you and most - . - of the collection is there.

- And you can't be blamed for the deaths of Kwok's men - . - nor can you be blamed for them - .

- Only because Victoria Philips Gave you a perfect alibi - .

She did?

Wow!

So I'm free now?

Unfortunately, no. Kang has requested your extradition.

He wants an investigation.

That doesn't sound good.

- Could I ask you one - before I go? - last favor - ?

Mr. Philips!

Ah! Thank you! * Cantonese *

- Why is he bringing your luggage? - I'm coming with you.

I don't want to lose you. We have to change something.

- And your board position? - I've asked for time to think about it.

But I ... I can't promise you can't promise you anything.

She looks great. But 2 million euros?

- I'm not sure. - I am.

What are they gonna do to you?

- Don't worry! Nothing's gonna happen to me Nothing will happen - .

Will I see you again?

- We'll see - .

I'm here. I'm going Nowhere.

Cuff this man Cuff him! Now!

Hey! I think: You exceed finally exceed your competence!

China can always assert its interests. get its way.

Just go through! Go!

Mrs. Philips!

I want to see my wife!

Mom!

Beijing forbids you to -

- - to leave the country ... - Kang!

- I approved Mrs. Philips ... - Let me ... finish!

Okay! All right!

You are not allowed to leave the country,-

-without the Chinese people thanked you.

They gave us the -

- crucial clue to re. procurement of the Haiman collection.

So you have one wish left.

- My government will fulfill it. - I know of something.

* It is not to be understood. *

Good.

- I already know: when I grow up you'll explain everything to me - .

There's no need!

My government wants to grant Mrs. Philips any wish she may have.

Saving valuable cultural assets. of national interest.

There you go Lucky!

- Real happiness is - . - something else.

So?

And what would that be ... for you, exactly?

Have you ever had paper-thin ...

... sliced filet with fried potatoes?

With a nice glass of red wine?

I've heard of that. I've heard of that before.

You have to try it!
