And maybe to stay out there for a while.

Not a problem.

It's just that...

We had already made these plans.

No need to explain.

That's the way love goes.

You'll figure it out.

Thanks, Brother Bao

How long have I been eating

at your restaurant?

I know you're good for it.

Ah...the one that got away...

It's nice to be in love, isn't it?

Sir...

Do you think we'll get to use our guns

this time?

I can handle it, sir.

What is it?

What?

Okay, I understand.

Don'tworry, I'll take care of it.

I said get out of here!

Kai, where are you going?

Oh,l have some stuff to do.

I can't work tonight.

I'll be back later.

Hey, what are you here?

I'm here to see Brother Bao.

Brother Bao?

He told me to come by.

Oh.

Sure you don't need help with anything?

I'm okay. Thanks.

Uncle, he's here to see you.

Don't you have something to do?

Oh, I have an apartment to show.

I better get going.

Come, have a seat.

So are you all set?

Yeah, just about.

Good.

I have a little favor I need

to ask of you.

Oh, okay..

Sorry to trouble you.

I need you to take something with you.

Okay, okay.

Uh...Brother Bao, where is it?

Oh, I need you to pick it up for me.

Oh, okay. Sure.

Don't worry, it's all taken care of.

Someone will give it to you.

This package is very important to me.

So you better be careful.

Got it?

Yeah.

You must be very excited.

Oh, yeah.

But Brother Bao...

What is it?

It's just...I don't know...

Hey, is your flight all set, Kai?

Yeah, I leave tomorrow morning.

Do you need some extra cash?

No, I have enough.

Good.

Hello and welcome.

Hello and welcome.

Hey, Peach.

Huh?

Do you...

What?

Do you know ifwe have more

of these in stock?

I don't know. Go check in back

Oh, okay.

Thanks.

No problem.

Hello and welcome.

Hey, Gao.

Hey.

So I'm just about set.

I just came over to say bye

Okay, let's go.

Go where?

To eat.

That's okay, really.

I have some stuff to take care of.

But you're leaving.

Hey, Peach.

We'll be back in an hour or so.

Is that okay?

Oh.

I only have two hours.

See? No problem.

Okay.

But I have to go pick something up first.

Okay.

Look guys...

He has this score...

And he's cutting us out of it.

Aren't we brothers?

Instead he has us showing

shitty apartments all day.

Brother Bao is almost finished anyway.

There's nothing to worry about.

If anything happens,

the kid takes the blame.

We make a sweet score,

someone else takes the fall.

Don't you guys want to make a big score?

Here's your chance!

Mr. and Ms. Cheng...

Excuse us.

What do you think?

Actually, our last tenants

really loved this place.

But the husband got caught cheating.

Things got messy and...

We can install your newwasher

and dryer in a few days.

We'd like to think about it some more.

Very wise, very wise.

But I can assure you

for a place like this.

The price is quite reasonable.

Here's my card.

If you need anything,

don't hesitate to call.

Okay.

Thanks.

Morons.

Anyway, I'll be with Brother Bao.

That way he won't suspect anything.

Once you make the grab

Bring it your aunt's place.

I'll meet up with you guys there.

One more thing...

Sweet, eh?

Sweet!

Sir, do you want a piece?

I'm not hungry.

But sir, it's really good.

I said I'm not hungry.

Sir, are you sure?

Oh.

Sir, look!

Wushing, move it!

Hey, Kai.

Password.

Password.

Huh?

Password!

Brother Bao told me to come

pick up something...

If you don't give me what I need...

How can I give you what you need?

Password.

But l...

I'm just messing with you.

Don't be such a dipshit.

Be careful with this.

This is it?

What should we do, sir?

Follow them!

Hey, Gao.

Let's go.

Did you get it?

Yeah, no problem.

Let me see it.

You can't handle it.

Come on!

No way,

it's my gun, not your gun...got it?

-Please? -No.

Okay, let's eat

Okay.

Where do you want to start?

You decide

Okay.

So...what are you going to do

when you get to Paris?

Do you know her?

Sort of.

Seems like you take a lot of classes.

I like to keep myself busy.

Oh.

They're...uh...

Was your friend just kidnapped?

No.

What are you doing?

Calling the police.

Oh.

Wait, you can't do that!

Why not?

I'm sure it's just a misunderstanding.

Seriously, don't do that.

What's this all about?

I don't know.

Fine. Go ahead and call.

Hello, please connect me to the police.

Hey, please don't do that.

Hold on, listen to me.

Maybe it have something to do with this.

Let me explain.

Okay. Explain.

-Back to the Palace? -Yeah.

What about him?

Oh, you can just drop me off here.

I'm hungry.

Aren't you guys hungry?

Yeah, but is there anything good

around here?

Howwould I know?

I know a pretty good

dumpling place nearby.

I don't know, okay?

I'm just trying to get to Paris

to see my girlfriend.

Well, where did the package come from?

I was picking it up for someone.

Who?

Brother Bao.

I'm borrowed some money

from him to get to Paris.

Brother Bao?

Yeah. I was desperate.

I don't know how he's involved

in all this.

Well what does he do?

Real estate.

Okay, I'll try calling him.

I don't buy it!

I'll get it.

Hello?

Hello, may I speak to Brother Bao?

May I ask who's speaking?

This is Kai. It's kind of urgent.

Of course, how can I help you?

Oh, no. I just really need

to talk to him.

Do you knowwhen he'll be back?

I don't have that information

on me right now.

But...I really need to speak to him.
