They just fell off.

I thought you had it all worked out!

You didn't do it right.

You tied the rope to the wrong end!

It's your fault!

Me?

Shut up! It's your responsibility!

It isn't the fault of any one person.

We could return and salvage it later.

Right.

Salvage my ass!

Everything belongs to the pirates around here!

Consider this travel fee...

Pirates in this area are from seven nations.

Enough! Knock it off!

If this is any consolation,

I still have one here.

Whoever needs money can have it.

You are luckier than her great-grandfather.

At least you won't go home empty-handed.

True.

Someone did once try to take them home.

Still these gold remain on Mother Earth.

Seven groups of pirates now watch over them.

Safer than in a bank vault!

Let's leave them here undisturbed.

Mark the coordinates. Hurry!

L'I'S gone!

What? What?!

Where has it gone?

Get into the water?

You can't get into the water to get it?

You go get it.

Professor Guan,

Professor Guan, please come

and assist our investigation

on the theft of the bronze heads' data.

Just follow my instructions,

Today, the sale of a bronze rams' head

and a bronze snake's head

has set a new record

at an art auction in London.

The last one, the dragon,

is expected to sell for even more.

The sale of the bronze heads

has provoked much controversy.

Calls for repatriation of relics

are intensifying.

We don't want our patriotic sentiment

to be hijacked by others.

We appreciate the young

for expressing their views.

The auctioning of historical relics

from illegal sources,

will only encourage more criminal activities.

Those who plunder relics are worse than thieves!

Yes!

The golden mask of a pharaoh's concubine

and the secret smiling Buddha

were passed in an auction today,

affected by the increasing international uproar

Police.

Do you know these people?

In breaking news, MP Corporation has announced

it has won the right to

auction off the bronze

the piece will go to market as soon as possible.

I've called you more than 7,000

Just say the word.

From now on, in future, forever and ever...

I won't call or bother you again.

We know where it is!

Where is what?

The Dragon-head!

MP will put it up for auction next week!

They've had it all along!

We could never have gotten that bonus.

We've been fooled.

We behaved like amateurs!

Jonathan lied to us.

He has conspired with MP.

I figure they beat up those students, too.

Is it true that

two students from your organization

were badly beaten up?

Sorry, we cannot comment on this.

Okay.

Thank you.

Sir, care to comment? No comment.

Madam, please

Oh! These reporters

to demonstrate their discontent

with the sale of these relics

The crown jewel was originally

an Indian national treasure of India.

Why is it that our historical relics

are on permanent display in foreign museums?!

In time for the Chinese Year of the Dragon,

I present the bronze Dragon-head.

Starting price 6O million euros.

National heritage, NOT FOR SALE!

Cultural relics from many countries

were pillaged and ended up abroad.

They include the star of today's auction,

the renowned bronze Dragon-head.

Hello.

Are you sure?

I will come over right away.

Tell my sister I will be back soon.

What? I will be back soon.

Ladies and gentlemen, are there any bids?

Ten euro!

Pass!

Any comment on the Dragon-head unsold?

Will the Dragon-head re-auction again?

Do you think the unsold affect

the reputation of MP Corporation?

Take more at different angles!

Michelle, send this to Coco. Quickly!

Take a few more with this.

What interview?

- I don't give interviews.

-An important call.

Hello.

Boss.

We caught three students. What now?

What did they do?

Same as previous two.

They took photos again.

Lock them up first.

Is there really no other solution?

I don't want it to drag on forever.

I've been thinking about this all morning.

Thanks!

Johnny, Tommy

Please give this letter to...

Take it easy with women.

Be cool, just like me!

Hello

I know you! I recognise the voice.

Your calls finally returned!

No, I'm not busy

They're gone.

Good.

Anything, whatever you say

Chinese, Japanese, Italian or French

Fine. Love 'em all...

Eh, sure.

Okay.

I agree.

Good choice!

I agree.

Great! I'll wait for you,

until the end of time!

Good. Yes, bye bye!

Yes! Yes!

I knew you'd call me back!

As a man sows, so shall he reap.

God helps those who help themselves.

Coco is here.

Who?

Coco. She's looking for you.

What does she want?

A letter for me?

Are those students okay?

Three more are missing.

What?

My brother,

Lily'

and Michelle.

I grew up with my kid brother.

Before my father passed away,

he told me to look after him.

He's my only family now.

He is also our family's future.

We're all passionate about

each making our own contributions

to our countries.

But now,

two of us are lying in hospital beds,

and three of us are missing.

And we don't know if they are still alive.

I beg you.

Pull yourself together.

Have you contacted the police?

I've tried everything.

You are my very last resort.

I'd love to help whenever I can.

But these people

I'm sorry for being a nuisance.

Professor Guan is detained by police

for giving me those data.

Why are you crying?

Mom & Dad, do you really have ti do this?

Coco said her brother disappeared

while spying on MP after the aborted auction.

MP must have something to do with this.

There are only trees, nothing else.

Where's the proof?

Let's check it out!

Aren't you a compassionate person?

I feel more for you.

Is this what you really want?

He insist on it! It's over between us!

We can't tolerate each other.

What does that mean?

You stink,

he disgrace himself in public, or what?

Don't give up until you've really tried.

Two grown-ups behaving worse than a child.

At least your daughter wrote.

What have you done?

We are destined to fail.

Failure?

Those who fail look for excuses.

Those who succeed look for ways.

Stop patronizing me! Lives are at stake!

Or it will be too late!

It's easy to make rash promises. But how?

Like you said, until you've tried

you must not give up!

Hey JC!

Jonathan!

What's up?

I've just found the Roses.

Good! I'll come right over.

That's my way!

Speak!

I didn't lie about MP's address.

Why would I lie about it?

Sure, I believe you.

But you knew all along MP had dragon-head,

didn't you?

We'd never get that bonus, would we?

How would I know?

We're old partners, why would I lie to you?

You've never lied to me?

Of course not! Why would I?

What are you doing?

This

This is the world's most powerful acid.

I formulated it specially for you.

Have you ever lied to me?

Yes.

I lied to you from day one.

From day one

I've told you everything.

Why did you do that for?

Fruity Fruit salt?

Genius!

You came all the way to see me,

just to cut out the middlemen?

They are all blood-suckers.
