I'll do my best.

A common goal among us young people

is to retrieve lost relics

for various countries.

Of course, they include the 12 bronze heads.

These are the two in France?

Yes.

They belong to Count Marceau.

I examined them.

Professor Guan verified their data.

They're authentic.

He lives in that chateau?

Sorry!

Occupational habit.

Guys!

Over here.

What's going on?

What's wrong, guys'?

I was walking with Wu Qing,

we were keeping surveillance on a cargo

No battery no memory card.

Which we suspect of being stolen antiques.

Suddenly,

all these guys started beating us up!

They only stopped

when I tried to call the police.

It's too risky.

I've told you many times,

we only protest in peace.

Why didn't you stop him?

No, listen...

No, guys. Listen to me.

I'd like to remind all of you about

the principles of our organization.

One, we don't give the police any trouble.

Two, we don't interfere

in the lives of the people.

And three, we don't disturb social order.

Absolutely!

You have my support.

Producer from National Geographic Channel.

Reporter? Yes.

Chinese? Yes.

You must help us to expose MP's crime,

make them look bad!

No. As media, we can only report the facts.

We cannot exaggerate and make things up.

I have taken photos.

You sit down!

Be careful.

I'm sorry this happened on your first visit.

We've got nothing else for you, goodbye.

Can I have a word with you?

Sure.

Over here

What's the matter?

These people, these big corporations

You and your students must...

Okay, thanks, stay in touch!

What on earth?

He'll crack their code.

Sure.

When the time comes, I might be there.

You're responsible for my getaway.

The Chateau's landscape is flat.

There is only one low-lying area.

You meet me at the low-lying area.

Follow me.

Monsieur Pierre, during our phone conversation,

you said you wanted more information

about our bronze heads.

We've brought you this portfolio.

I'm sure you'll find everything inside.

Madam, I beg you to pick up the phone!

Are you sure of their authenticity?

Yes, of course.

Indeed, there are many replicas

on the market now.

Even experienced collectors have been fooled.

If you have doubts, you're free to test them.

Okay, let me keep the book.

I will contact you soon.

Call me back.

He used his hands to flip through the album.

I think he's heading to the vault.

Their surveillance systems

are installed outside,

for fear of damaging the relics.

It seems that we are spot on,

the owner is obsessed with tidiness!

Just like you:
a mysophobic!

Now we can only wait.

Let's wait, then.

They're all seeing their boss off.

I am watching.

Tell me when you are ready.

We are ready!

In five seconds

I can see the fingerprints.

Hurry UP.

They're coming back.

Found it! It's behind the bookshelf.

Same old trick.

Damn it!

What's wrong?

Three sets of combination of 46 letters each!

It'll take eight computers two days

to crack it.

Weird!

What has the boss been up to?

Why would one obsessed

with tidiness misplace his books?

Should be put..

Here.

Here.

That's how he reminds himself

of the combinations!

Marion.

Yes, sir?

Some coffee, please.

Very good, sir.

Let's go. Okay.

I know how to open it.

It's opened.

Found the bronze heads yet?

Give me a minute.

The Rat-head,

the Rabbit-head.

Do they look like our replicas?

To me...they're all the same.

Is there anything else worth taking?

They're all junk!

You know what I've just seen?

What?

The Pharaoh's sceptre and the Czarina's staff,

the Golden Eagle Box,

and the Star of Arabia!

They're all lost national relics!

Now, they belong to us.

Guess what else I've found?

What?

A painting that we dreamt of stealing.

The Roses?

BifigQ!

I've been looking all over for you,

Now you show up by yourself.

Lucky me.

Just look at this photo.

What are you doing here?

Who are you?

What are you doing?

Guards!

Hey! Stop!

We've a situation!

He's upstairs! Go get him!

They saw me!

What's going on?

I am still inside, being chased by dogs.

Give me directions!

There he is!

Look! He is on the roof!

Go get him!

Go that way.

Catch me if you can!

More of the same?

I'm southeast of the chateau,

tell me where to go!

There's a maze ahead of you,

stay out of it!

I think I'm already in it!

Can you take the high road?

No room for a take-off!

I've to give it a try.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...

I'm coming your way !

It's no time for nursery rhymes!

Cut the crap and find me an exit!

We can't see you unless you're airborne!

They stopped?

Maybe they are short-sighted

There he is! He's airborne!

He's gone down again!

The runway is too short!

It's a dead end!

What's that noise?

I am mimicking a dog!

Want a bite?

Lie down!

Nice!

Nice dog.

Stay put!

Good doggie.

Beat it!

Speaking Chinese to a French dog?

I'm surprised he could understand.

We'll call you later.

Okay.

Guards

Go check it out right now!

I am out, finally!

Call Simon and tell him to handle the rest.

You do it. We're not on speaking terms.

Martin?

Martin!

What are you doing?

Do I know you?

Was that you in the chateau?

Coco, it was someone else.

Someone else?

You can address me by name!

It was you!

Watch out!

It was you!

Let go me!

How could you steal?

I don't know what you're talking about.

We've been had! They knew each other!

Good Lord!

Go!

Let go of me,

and drive carefully!

Are you still in denial?

Okay, it was me.

Why did you do that?

This is not the time to explain.

Watch out!

You alright?

I'll meet you at the boat house.

Simon, I'm at your 6 o'clock,

Perfect!

Where is the other head?

Coco's got it.

You're no reporter. Who are you really?

Me?

I have double identities.

I am president of the non-profit making

International Foundation of Relics...

Metals, Porcelain and Paintings

What?

I've never heard of this organization.

You know every one by heart?

What should we do with this head?

Return it to the Chinese government.

Good idea!

Be careful, guys. Let's go!

It's here! Let's go!

Go, go! Let's go!

Hello.

Oh, no. Not this.

Hello, is this the police?

What's going on?

Don't come out!

My power cable!

Police! Don't move!

Police! Police! Don't move!

I swear that they are accomplices!

It's not true!

The Marceau family's reputation is impeccable.

Impeccable reputation?

We've watched these tapes,

and we saw nothing.

There are customs documents,

and a witness who saw nothing at the chateau.

She was estranged

after her uncle rejected a loan request.

No, I was three when I last visited him.

Do you really think I'd remember?

I swear to God that Shut up!

We will keep the statue for two weeks.

If no one claims it,

you can have it back.

If they bother you again,

let us know.

Now, you are free to go.

Thank you.

But that's not true! Shut up!

I swear they stole the heads!

You've other things to worry about!

How did it go?

Everything went as expected.

I still want to thank
