She escapes from the mobsters and is chased by the Russians; by the corrupt detectives from the NYPD; and by the Triads.

you bump them twice on the same day

I'm not going to hurt you

What he hell did you do kid?

Those men who are chasing you are bad,

you want to tell me why they after you?

You understand me?

Speak English?

What do you mean she got away?

Who took her?

We don't know, it was not the police.

Some guy showed up and took her...

I don't care, you get the girl back alive

or I will skin you alive...

The other way, cars goes the other way

Are you crazy, man?

Hold on

If this goes on, a lot of innocent

people are going to get hurt

you want that?

Do what I say

Are you okay?

Lets go

I'm not five years old

then keep up

You had her and you lost her

No captain we didn't lose her

She was taken by force

The Russians?

No, not the Russians

Well

It was Luke Wright

what?

-Captain Wolf?

-Not now, David

mayor wants you, Captain

-Put it through line 2

-He's not on the phone

He wants you at his mansion yesterday

There you go

-Thank you, Mr. Ivanov

-Thank you

Mr. Ivanov?

Here you are, Mr. Ivanov, room 1012

Tenth Floor

Thank you

You like a nice hotel?

I never stays at a nice hotel

They will never look for us here

Tracking started.

Tracking almost completed, almost.

Mei is at an hotel...

You can have a shower if you want

you could use one

Why those Russians chase you on the train?

Why did you save me?

I didn't save you

You saved me

You bring me back

My name is Luke

Mei

Your parents?, Mei

I have a father

What is his name?

Chan, Quang

Chan, Quang?

We are talking about the same guy?

He didn't have any kid last time I check

That would make sense if

your not older than 3 years old

I adopted

He got you over form back home?

Chan isn't a fatherly type

Why are you here Mei?

To count

The old man works?

Chan boss, what is his name?

The old school

No computers, no electronic trails,

that what you have in your head right?

Do you know Jiao Han?

I know of him

told me a number,

a very long number

I was going to go someplace where

I was to get another number and instructions

then the Russian came and shot everyone

and then police came and I ran away

Now you know everything

Happiness for you?

Do you want to go back to the Han, Jiao?

I make too much trouble,

bad business

After I do what he asked

he'll kills me

Good business

So what about this number?

Its a long boring number

I can tell it to you

It wont mean anything to me

How do you it one number

and not a bunch of separate numbers?

You are crazy man, but not so stupid

Is there was anything interesting

to you about that this numbers?

-Maybe a few of them

-Why?

Because they have a 3 or 7 before them

all the numbers were random

but five of them have 7 before

eight of them has a 3 before

That too many time to be a random

It's a code

What else?

Nothing

So between a 7 is interesting because

its too many times to be random

because they are not numbers, it's words

right left or left to right

Old school

Combination to a safe

In the hotel?

-Where?

-Not to far away

Message from Mr Han,

Lose her again and your dead...

Did they check in?

Sorry, sir, we're not in a liberty to...

It's a Chinese girl eleven years old, i'm her father

I'm very worry about her

So sorry

In my city?

-Actually he's been back for a while

-A while?

-Maybe a year

Yes, sir

What's going on Wolf?

and how Luke Wright involved in it?

I figure I might ask you the same question

Don't try to game me

You're nothing but a pawn

playing on a board so big

you even see the edge of it

that how you ever been

I know about Luke Wright which more

than you can say 5 minutes ago

What you know about Luke Wright, rank

less than a paragraph in a very fat book

After the Talons fell when our man-power was

spread out tracking terrorist activity

I was the one who form a special task force

to deal with the crime

that was filling the gap

and don't you ever f***ing

forget that I was who you in charge

I didn't forget

My work made you Mayor

Your work?

You think Luke was just on of your cops?

When I put together your team

I knew you needed an edge

no ordinary detective

could give me, something surgical

I call friend in places bury so deep they

don't officially exists, they were sympathetic

A week later, they send Luke Wright

Those wise guys who vanished

over the last 7 years

Those cocain you found in the gutter

in harlem with Petrovich in Brooklyn

Tommy Lau in Chinatown

Luke Wright is a ghost

very deadly ghost

It works like a charm too

Then you d*cks start to get greedy

Luke's a killer, but he's an honest one

when he threatened to

take the whole thing to IA

Yeah my team got dismantle

If Luke Wright so connected how he

wind up in Jersey Cage fighting?

Do look like a shrink?

Get everybody on this

Once Luke Wright get on a role

only one man in the city who

take him one on one

Excuse me

I know this is a close door

but there a major gun battle downtown

at a hotel

Media going nuts, you going need

to make a statement

Han Jiao in the city also

He give this little chinese

girl something I don't know why

Luke Wright grab her before I could

What?

Yes, yes, I heard you the first time

closed every exit out of the Manhattan make

sure neither Wright or the girls gets away

and you'll get commission
