Someone should tell them

this is gonna have

no effect on the harvest.

I mean that's

really bad.

Oh.

There! Get them!

Now!

Is this the kind of time

we stay and fight, bennie?

This time we run.

Oh, no, no.

How do they keep

finding us?

No, no, no, no.

Uh!

I'm shot!

No, no, you're not.

Just popcorn.

It's just some popcorn.

Go, go!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

How do they keep

finding us?

- The phone.

- What?

They're tracking

the phone.

Turn it off.

Hurry!

It's so difficult.

On and off is

the simplest thing

a phone does.

Hurry!

This is a hundred-family

feast.

All the families gather--

are you a Wikipedia

all the time?

Hey! Hey!

Don't eat the food.

No, no, no!

Don't eat the food.

I'm sorry, sorry.

I'm sorry.

We must sing to pass.

It's a tradition.

Well, what's not

a tradition in

this country?

Sing something.

Huh?

Whoo!

Whoo!

All right! Chin chin.

Well, go on,

sing something.

Sing so we can go through.

Whoo!

- I can't swim.

- I'm scared of heights.

New plan.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

There they are!

What's the weight limit

on this wire?

I better go first.

It might be safer.

And don't tell me

not to look down.

Don't look down.

Whoa!

Oh-ho-ho!

Whoa!

- Ah!

- Ah!

I'm slipping.

Easy on the ding-ding.

What?

It's the only thing

i can hold!

Too small.

This is a bad idea.

Don't hang there.

Use your feet!

I told you it was

a good plan.

How long are you going

to do this?

Until we get

to Hong Kong.

No, I mean this.

Chase guys like me

halfway around

the world.

You know, you're no

spring chicken anymore.

I'm set in my own way.

Not young enough

to change.

Well, you could

still change

if you wanted to.

What would you do?

I like alpacas.

Okay. So we're talking

about alpacas now.

To me, they symbolize peace.

I've always wanted

to have one,

but it's impossible

in Hong Kong.

Move out here

to the country

and have a whole

pack of them.

Hell, start

an alpaca festival.

Or do they already have

one of those here?

Listen, I think you did

a really great job

of looking after Samantha.

Hey.

Settle down,

I'm being Sincere.

Look at me.

When you see her,

remember my face.

No, I just mean

even though you're

a hard ass

and short tempered

and stubborn, mean...

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

get to the compliments.

All right, even though

you're all those things,

she turned out great.

Without you, hell.

Can I ask you

a serious question,

bennie?

How do you do

the two fingered thing?

Pressure.

Pressure here, okay?

You know, pressure.

Pressure.

Uh.

What?

You need to practice.

Just not like aim it!

Boom.

Hey!

You'll never learn.

Uh! God! Sh*t!

Whoa-ho, whoa, whoa!

Need to keep body warm.

Keep heat in.

We don't have any

blankets or fire.

We're fu--

we have each other.

Take the clothes off.

Oh, god.

Somehow I knew it was

going to come to this.

How come you get

to be the big spoon?

Shut up, Connor.

Whoa! Just-- whoa!

- Whoa!

- What are you doing?

What?

Eugene,

one of them's come alive!

Do you know where

the gift shop is?

It's not what

you think.

I need to call Sam.

I really need

to wash my hands.

They were uncomfortably warm

when I woke up.

Hey.

- Hello.

- Sammy...

Sammy!

Hello?

Samantha is just fine.

If you hurt her,

i promise--

bring the phone

to the casino tonight

or I'll kill your Sammy.

No casino.

We meet in public.

Kai tak terminal, 7:00 pm.

Samantha okay?

Look, I can explain that.

I was gonna

give that back.

You have excuse

for everything.

You're a liar.

Okay, fine.

Total honesty,

I wasn't gonna

give it back,

but that's when you

were being a dick.

Now that we're partners

i was gonna surprise you

and I was just

looking for--

I don't partner

with cowards.

You're bad luck.

You make things worse.

Oh, really?

If it wasn't for me,

you'd be moping

around your apartment

eating ramen,

reading "alpaca daily."

You say I'm lonely?

If I'm lonely,

what are you?

Where's the picture

of your family?

Back off, bennie.

- You have no one.

- You're right.

I don't have anyone.

All those stories

about my mom and dad

and how great they are,

i made them up.

I never knew them.

They dumped me at birth.

Does that make you happy?

Can I have my jacket?

You got the phone.

So long, bennie.

Excuse me.

Would you mind

holding that for me?

- Yeah, okay.

- Thank you.

Aw, come on, dude.

You hand me an urn

with somebody in it.

Why are you so nosy?

Why you look inside?

Do you just walk around

with that thing?

Inside is my friend.

Before he died,

i promise him,

I scatter his ashes

in Victoria harbor.

I make a promise,

now I'm doing it.

Do you have a problem

with that?

No, sir.

I'm-- I'm sorry.

I didn't realize.

You about a 40 jacket?

Bennie.

You look well.

Where's Samantha?

Give me the phone.

We can do this

the hard way,

if you'd prefer.

Sure.

Let's do this

the hard way.

Captain tang,

the phone has proof.

Victor wong

is the matador.

It can only be unlocked

by his thumbprint.

Mr. wong,

would you mind

humoring us?

Not at all.

How can this be?

I'm not the matador.

I never was.

My Sincere apologies,

Mr. wong.

Bennie chan,

you're under arrest

for accessory to murder.

Take him away.

Hey, Natalia,

it's Connor.

How's Russia?

How's your dad?

Good.

Listen, I want

to ask you a favor.

It's ridiculous how long

you made me wait.

How am I supposed to

cross-process my client

in a timely and

litigious manner?

- Hey, bennie.

- Connor, what are you

doing here?

Well, real men stay

and deal with their problems.

A wise man

once taught me that.

You guys familiar

with the case Kramer

v Kramer,

because you're

about to be?

A little space.

They're gonna arrest you.

I'm your lawyer.

So, what's the plan?

I was hoping you

had some ideas.

You come barging

in here

with no plan

to get out?

Yeah, that's how

we do in America,

fast and loose.

Bennie chan's attorney's

here to see you.

I'm Connor watts.

Here we go.

We're in.

Thank you

for saving us, Leslie.

Thanks for

letting me help.

Well, maybe when

this is over

I could take you out

for a chicken and beer?

Yes, I'd love

chicken and beer.

Okay, we're ready.

We've bypassed

the thumbprint.

Bennie, it just

looks like gibberish.

- It's nothing.

- Wait.

Stop right here.

I know where to go,

but we need a plan

to get out of here.

Wait up, wait up.

This is the place.

And Ben is the one

with the armed thugs.

- You and I split up.

- Okay.

Don't try to be

a hero by yourself.

Right, no need

to start now.

Go! Go!

I had no choice.

I did what I had to do

to get the phone back--

we never touched her,

just scared her a little.

Tell him, Willie.

I was only following

your orders.

If I had known

who she was--

you liar.

You couldn't have achieved

any of this without me.

I am the money man.

You need me.

That's where

you're wrong, Victor.

I don't need anyone.

Help.

You really don't know
