"Bennie, sorry I had

to take off.

Don't take it

personally.

I'm leaving you this phone

because I think it might

be of use.

All you have to do

is figure out a way

to charge it.

Thanks for the honor lessons,

buddy. Connor."

Hey, young boy.

Did you see

the American guy?

Just last night.

Buy my horse.

He bought your horse?

Cash?

Damn dumbest horse

in all of Mongolia.

Come on.

Vmonos.

Vmonos.

Come on!

- Hey, hey!

- Juh!

Hey, bennie, went to

make a coffee run.

I was gonna surprise you

with a mocha frappuccino.

Bennie, bennie, no, no.

I bruise, I bruise, please.

I bruise, I bruise, please.

Please.

- You.

I want my refund.

You sold me a lemon,

you little sh*t.

You know,

this kind of big horse

only runs

for a hundred miles.

Small horse,

run forever, stupid.

I'll remember that

the next time

I'm in Mongolia.

You had the money

all the time?

Just a little.

For emergencies.

You never stop lying.

How your parents

raise you?

You don't know a thing

about my parents.

Everything you say

is just horse apples.

You see what I mean?

Next time I talk

to my bookie,

"hey, sal,

sorry about that two grand,

let me pay you

with a wallet full

of honor."

Don't say a word.

Bennie, bennie,

that's the guy!

No, hey, be quiet.

That's the guy

who shot the girl

in the casino.

Victor wong?

Are you sure

that's who you saw?

He shot her

at point blank range.

That's not something

you forget.

I take you to Hong Kong.

I spend my career

trying to prove

Mr. wong is the matador.

Now you can.

I'm taking you to testify

against wong.

What?

Victor wong

will see to it

that I don't even

get to trial.

Your proof

is on the phone.

I'm not going.

Hell, no.

Okay.

Just be quiet.

All right.

I'll play it cool.

Help!

He kidnapped me

and he said he's going

to use my pretty face

to make a million dollars.

Sorry! He had brain damage.

I'm a loud, handsome,

arrogant American

and you have

a lovely country

and I will

only ruin it,

I promise.

El diablo blanco.

He drink too much baijiu.

- Call Hong Kong police.

- Call the U.S. embassy.

Stop.

One at a time.

- He kidnapped me.

- I'm working a big case.

- Were you not listening?

- One at a time.

Shut up!

Both of you.

- He started it.

- He started it.

Connor watts,

you're under arrest

for the murder

of ester yee.

Who's ester yee?

And officer chan,

you are being charged

with accessory to murder.

This is a setup.

Well, you two

are going back

to Hong Kong.

Awesome.

May be for

the best, bennie.

Life in prison's better

than getting killed

by psychopaths.

And jail might not

be so bad.

We can both get jacked,

get some tattoos,

maybe meet Morgan Freeman.

The phone.

We have to get it back.

Do you see the situation

we're in, bennie?

Impossible.

Do you know there's

a Chinese saying,

"in every crisis

there's opportunity."

I found that more convincing

when I was saying it.

Ow!

Who is she?

She's the

siberian Terminator.

Dasha, what a coincidence.

Of all the trucks to hijack.

Where is the other one?

I thought he's with you.

- Get out.

- My legs are asleep.

You know it always

does this on long trips.

Ow.

I said get out.

I'm sorry.

Bennie!

You missed.

Wow, you look great!

Those headbutts to the face

really treated you well.

No, no, no,

not the face.

Thanks.

I know this looks bad.

There.

Hey, hey, hey.

I told you I don't

fight women.

I know, that's why

i brought the gun.

Okay, okay.

Just one fight.

Come.

Good-bye,

Chinese man.

Now you are a killer.

I didn't mean to.

My leg hit the gear shift.

It was an accident.

You know, you are so

unappreciative.

- She was about to kill you.

- That's no excuse.

This-- this

is the reason

I prefer public

transportation.

We only have

one earth, bennie.

Holy sh*t.

Russians!

Whoa!

How about a little

head's up next time?

Let's go!

Open it.

- Huh?

- Merry Christmas,

compadre.

All you gotta do

is charge that thing

and you're in business.

You know, bennie,

i like you

and I'm happy you're finally

getting what you want.

But sadly, I'm not

gonna be around

to see it happen.

Your turn.

You must be tired.

Always running away.

I mean it looks

pretty tiring

fighting as hard

as you do.

Impressed?

No. I'm actually

kinda pissed.

Don't point that thing

at me, man.

Hurry up, hurry up!

Which part of the pig

am I blowing on?

Is that what

we're trying to make?

The cops ask any questions,

you just look at them

like you don't understand

a word, okay?

Okay, that's good.

- Push harder! Harder!

- With this chopstick?

Can't believe these things

went out of style

in the middle ages.

So, what's the plan?

We take the phone back

to Hong Kong police.

Captain tang have to

arrest Victor wong.

Well, great,

you don't need me.

You're the only tying

Victor wong to the phone.

No you, no wong.

You have to testify.

You got Samantha into this.

Samantha's your goddaughter?

Well, I thought

there's supposed to be

like a billion people

in this country.

Rapids!

Paddle!

Whoa-ho!

This ain't

so bad, bennie!

You look like

you've seen a ghost.

- Whoa!

- Whoa-ho-ho!

- Promise you'll let me go.

- Promise you'll testify.

You're in no position

to negotiate.

No.

I can't swim.

I can't swim!

What?

I can't swim.

Sh*t.

Whoa!

Oh, god.

I got you.

- Whoa!

- Whoa!

I can't believe

you can't swim.

No swimming pool

in my neighborhood.

Ah, ah, oh, god.

For a second, I'm not sure

you're gonna save me.

I wasn't so sure either.

Is Hong Kong nice

this time of year?

Don't play with me,

Connor.

I'll testify.

For you.

And for Samantha.

Here.

I think we're

getting close.

- - Captain tang.

I'm Samantha.

I met you

at my father's funeral.

Yes, of course.

I remember.

I'm in trouble.

I haven't been able

to reach my uncle bennie

in days.

I didn't know

where to go.

He said you

could help me.

Yes, of course.

Wow, it's beautiful.

Kongming lanterns.

You make a wish

and let it float up

to the sky.

Hello?

Hello.

Would you like one?

- For me?

- Yes.

Oh.

Well, let's make a wish.

To take down the matador.

To get Samantha

back safely.

Does that mean

wish granted?

Connor, you're right.

I work too hard.

Fight too hard.

I have no life.

That's okay, bennie.

Why don't we go

find ourselves some power?

Hurry up.

- I'm hurrying.

- Almost.

Almost.

- Ready.

- Okay, let's do it.

Thumbprint.

Damn it.

Good thing out

of every crisis

comes an opportunity.

What are you

talking about?

If that's

the matador's phone,

then only has thumbprint

can activate it.

If Victor wong

opens it--

it shows that

Victor's wong

is the matador.

We've located chan

and the American.

Do not let her

out of your sight

until we return.

I've got it under control.

She's not going anywhere.

Spread out.

Find them.

Ah-ah!

I'll be damned.

Why, you little--

come on, let's go.

Mud festival.

Good for harvest.

Oh, this is bad.

I agree.
