"In the fourth month

of the Year of the Snake...

...a child shall be chosen...

...to meld the two halves of the sacred

medallion together as one.

And at his touch...

...the reborn shall be endowed...

...with extraordinary

supernatural powers."

Youve done well.

As agreed.

Pitiful.

Many people would pay more...

...to be the keeper of such a book.

The only pitiful thing in this room...

...is your life.

Okay.

Actually...

...you have been

quite generous, yeah?

Its nobody you know, okay?

Its fish. See?

Happy now?

Cheers.

In English, please.

Stop wasting time, Giscard.

Pull around the back.

Inspector.

- And hes got company.

- Copy that.

Hold your position.

Pai Gow.

All right, men.

- And Snakehead?

- Snakehead was not confirmed.

We should wait.

My intelligence says hes here...

...and Giscard is his number one.

Were going in.

I did not agree to this.

- We are supposed to be partners.

- This is an Interpol operation.

The Hong Kong

Police Departments...

...involvement is strictly

a babysitting service.

You dont like it,

take it up with your boss.

Its true.

Tell him we found it and were in.

Full force, men.

Razor-sharp and all that.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you doing?

Thats a temple. Its a holy place.

You cannot take guns in there.

Oh, right. Well, dont worry, Eddie,

because you see these guns?

Theyre holey guns.

Because they make

a rather big holey.

Holey. Do you get it? Holey.

All right.

Move out, men!

Move. Left, right, left, right.

Go, go, go.

Come on, keep up.

Inter...

Freeze!

Damn.

Keep up. Keep up. Keep up.

Interpol! Freeze!

Check it out.

- Go that way.

- Got it.

Peter?

Eddie.

Interpol! Fre...

What the he...?

You okay?

This way, men.

Follow me. Down here.

Weve gotta go now!

I need more time.

- We havent finished yet.

- Its too late.

- We'll try again later!

- Hong Kong Police!

Jai!

Hang on!

Eddie!

Snakehead! Upstairs!

Right!

Damn!

Four months" work!

What did he want in the temple?

Hes a smuggler, Eddie. I dont know.

Perhaps hes found a buyer for

black-market Buddhas. The point is...

...you let him get away.

Watson.

I also saw his face.

Interpols all over me,

and I cant stay here any longer.

You must bring me the boy in Dublin.

I trust you will make my continued...

Just bring me the boy.

Okay, this is what I want.

All right, notify the team...

- In a safe place.

Very good. Take me to him.

Up there. Okay.

- Over here.

Wait. Put him down. Put him down!

Untie him. Dont hurt him.

Careful. Be careful.

Inspector, whats going on?

Snakeheads men.

Yes. Hello.

Its the boy.

Good morning, sir.

Show me the boy.

Oh. Of course.

Thats him.

Treat him like a prince.

No problem, sir. We are ready to go.

Lets go!

Quickly! Go! Go!

Are you ready?

L"II cover you.

The boy!

Wave bye-bye!

We've interrogated the prisoner.

The boy's been taken to Snakehead

in Ireland. Repeat, Ireland.

Time for vacation.

Call me in Ireland.

Bring me back a snake head.

- Can I help you, sir?

- Yes.

I'm Inspector Eddie Yang

from Hong Kong.

Yes. You have an appointment to the

commander.

Nicole.

Inspector Eddie Yang.

I knew there couldnt be two of you.

Nice.

You clean up well.

Thank you.

Come on.

Its been a long time.

Three months.

I was assigned overseas and...

Oh, yeah.

You were gonna call me.

- I didnt know youd been assigned...

- To Ireland?

- Yes.

- Well, you missed a few beats, Eddie.

I am now the official liaison...

...between the local Interpol office and

Southeast Asian security forces.

Maybe if you stayed in touch

like you promised...

Nicole.

I should have called.

Im sorry.

Thats worth something.

Not a lot, but something.

Commander?

Inspector Yang is here to see you.

Yes.

Im Hammerstock-Smythe.

Delighted to meet you, inspector.

Likewise, commander.

Commander, I was just...

What the bloody hell is he doing here?

Hello, Watson.

Youre not telling me he'll be working

on this case?

Watson, we need all the help

we can get.

Yes.

You remember this boy?

Yes, I saw him in the temple. So?

- Whos he?

- One moment.

Yes, I recognize him.

This is Lester Wong.

Snakeheads number two man.

Thats privileged information,

eyes-only, need-to-know and all that.

- I need to find him, Watson.

- Yes, well, I'm sorry, my friend...

...but thats classified.

Weve received a tip-off...

...that Snakehead does have a new

shipment arriving tomorrow in Ireland.

- Maybe the boy will come with it.

- Where?

We dont know.

Go back East, Eddie.

Stick to what you know.

- Watson!

- What?! I mean... Sorry. What?

Any more nonsense like this...

...and you will be off the case, and the

inspector here will be in charge of it.

Satisfied?

Youve only been here five minutes.

Watson!

You are in my filing cabinet.

Yes.

I was just getting these.

I think were in trouble.

Yes, I think everything is in order.

What do you think?

Is it? Well, yes.

- Well, let me have it checked out.

- Yes, sir.

Watson, wait.

- Lets put Hong Kong behind us.

- Im sorry, is somebody talking to me?

We were partners.

We were good together.

- You need me.

- Really? What do you want me to do?

Just welcome you back

with open arms?

We had a good thing going,

and you left!

Watson.

It just wasnt for me anymore.

I thought you understood.

Oh, I understand.

I understand that you didnt like me

always being on top.

Okay, you can be on top.

Whatever you want.

Lets just do it together. Okay?

No, but you have fun doing it

by yourself. All right?

You think because of the way...

Thank you.

Think we...

Well, were not.

Im a man!

Yes. No, theres nothing wrong

when two people love...

...one another.

Its a good thing. I...

Thats your fault, that is.

Now, Im gonna go home

and cook dinner for my wife!

So on a scale of one to 10...

...how did that go?

About a seven.

Below zero.

I think I know just what you need.

Dinner.

Dinner?

Yes, dinner.

We need Watson

for this investigation, Eddie.

Hes stubborn, but if we can

catch him off guard...

...maybe loosen him up,

I think we can work it out.

L"II just be myself.

One more thing.

Watsons family...

...they dont know

that hes an Interpol agent.

- What do they think he is?

- A librarian.

- A librarian?

- Yes.

Hi.

- Nice apron.

- Thanks.

Look, you cant just

turn up and barge in.

Darling, I was wondering

if you saw my spatula.

- Charlotte, hello.

- Hello.

- Please. Please come in. Please.
