- [C] Cut the crap!

[chief lama] Jackie, Alan, and Laura
were three of the closest friends,

until they had a falling-out over Laura.

Jackie, after leaving the band,
adopted the nickname Asian Hawk,

and began his career as a treasure hunter.

What's this have to do with
my getting the other three pieces

of the Armour of God?

The Sword of the Holy Spirit
recently put up for auction,

was stolen by him from an African tribe.

If he has the ability
to acquire The Sword,

he'll naturally have the ability
to acquire the remaining pieces.

[lama] Oh.

I see. We pay Asian Hawk a fortune to find
the rest of the Armour of God for us.

Idiot!
Let him finish first.

We'll have the Hawk
find the rest of the Armour for us,

but we needn't pay.

What do you mean?

Laura's now a famous fashion designer.

She's currently in Paris
attending a fashion show.

Although she's Alan's girlfriend,
Jackie still hasn't given up on her.

Do whatever it takes
to capture Laura for me.

[auctioneer] [C] Now, appearing at last,
the star item of today's auction.

This is the legendary
Sword of the Holy Spirit

used by God to exorcise demons.

Reserve price is £30,000,
each price interval £5,000.

I now declare the auction open.

£35,000.
£40,000, £45,000.

Any higher than £45,0007?
£50,000.

£55,000, £60,000.
£65,000.

Anyone higher than £65,0007?

Seems we're still at the warm-up stage.

Anyone bidding higher than £65,0007?

£70,000, £70,000.

Anyone higher than £70,0007?

- £75,000, £75,000.
- [lady] £100,000.

The young lady bids £100,000.

Anyone higher than £100,000?

Anyone bidding higher than £100,0007?

The price's now up to £100,000.

£105,000.

I bid £150,000.

Wow!
£150,000!

The young lady bids £150,000.

Anyone higher than £150,0007

£150,000 is a price very close to
the Sword of the Holy Spirit's true value.

- Anyone bidding higher than £150,0007?
- OK, OK.

Anyone?

I bid £300,000.

[auctioneer] Wow!
£300,000!

It's getting really exciting!

The gentleman appears determined to win.

There's no denying
that £300,000's a very bold price.

Now,
let's see if anyone's willing

- to push this auction to a new climax.
- You! Are you nuts? “OK.”

- [auctioneer] Any bids above £300,0007?
- £300,0007?!

- Any bids above £300,0007
- [sighs]

£300,000, going once.

£300,000, going twice.

I bid £400,000.

[auctioneer] Wow!
£400,000!

I'm very honoured to announce the Sword
of the Holy Spirit has sold for £400,000.

[E] Hi!

[C] You have a good eye,
buying such a great sword.

Yours is even better,
selling it at such a high price.

Oh, yeah.

Nice car.

I'll give you a ride.

Alright.

Stop the car!

What's the matter?

Your car's really nice,
but the strong wind's messing up my hair.

My own car's a bit more comfortable.

I can drive a little slower.

Drive.

Thanks.

206.
Thanks.

- [receptionist] Mr Chan, your messages.
- Oh, thanks.

Whoa!
Such a big stack?!

[man's voice] Urgent.
Please call back.

Help.
Please call my space phone.

I'm booking an airline ticket.

Trying everything to find a seat.
Wait for me.

Flying to you for help.

Waiting for a ride from the airport.
Arriving soon, don't leave.

Where on earth did you go?

I'm waiting for you in the lobby.
A matter of life and death.

Come quickly.
Only you can help me.

Jackie!

Laura's been kidnapped?!
How much is their ransom?

If money was the answer,
I wouldn't have to find you.

If money isn't the answer,
finding me isn't either.

- You think I do voluntary work?
- You know what their ransom is?!

They're demanding an exchange
for the Armour of God!

Armour of God?

You said finding the Armour of God
would make your fortune.

I just sold the Sword of the Holy Spirit.

Hey!
Then buy it back for me right away.

The Armour of God has five pieces in all,
but I only know the whereabouts of three.

Where?

Two pieces were sold to a count.

The most recent one to a lady.

Then there's a way to get it back!

Finding it's no problem.
Question's why I should help you?

You ask such a stupid question?
Don't you care about Laura?

Don't take advantage
of my feelings for Laura.

Then can I take advantage
of our relationship?

We still have a relationship?

[humphs]

What?!

We grew up playing together,
formed a band, chased girls.

We loved one another as brothers,
and now you talk to me like this?

[humphs] Don't you remember?

When we played in the sand
you threw it at me.

When we played music,
you said my throat was hoarse.

When we pursued Laura, you stole my pants,
leaving me nothing to wear out.

What else is there to say
about someone like you?

Ah, so all along you've held a grudge
on account of losing Laura to me?

I didn't lose to you.

I just felt that to keep fighting
would only hurt our relationship.

There!
You admit we have a relationship.

Even so, it's all in the past.

So this thing with Laura,
it really hit you hard?

I think this time
I really was wrong to come.

I'll find another way to save her.

I hope they're not so quick
to kill hostages.

The American ginseng I sent you,
have you finished it yet?

I finished it two years ago.

I really like the stamps you sent me.

I came in so much of a hurry this time,

I couldn't think of what to buy you.

I just brought a jar of that
fermented bean curd you like.

Hm? It's spicy.

Pretend I was never here.

- I know I'm petty.
- You're not petty.

I am petty.

Fine, then you're petty.

It only hurts to keep arguing.

How do you plan to save Laura?

I'm now wondering
whether I should save her.

Why?

You may not know this,

but what I cherish most in my life
is the bond between you and me.

If saving Laura means losing you
as a friend, what's the point?

Goodbye.

Wait a minute.

[sighs]

- Hm?
- [both chuckle]

How do you contact
the people who kidnapped Laura?

Oh, they gave me a map.

They want me to find
the three pieces of Armour,

take them to a small mountain town
on the border,

and exchange them for Laura.

[Jackie] Let's find the count first.

See if there's any way
to borrow his two pieces.

Then find the lady who bought
the Sword of the Holy Spirit.

[car doors close]

Hey,
do you know what's written here?

CAUTION!
PREDATORS

- I think...
- Thinking is not knowing!

No doorbell?

[E] Anybody home?

[C] The house's over there.

- [dogs barking]
- [yell]

[man shouts commands]

Don't move!

[E] Calm down...!

Easy...!

Calm down...!

[dogs snarling]

- [C] Now what?
- Now? Be afraid!

Excuse me.

Both of you,
please follow me.

[dogs continue snarling]

[Alan grunts]

[barking and growling]

Hey, now I know
what the sign on the gate says.

Even an idiot would know now!

Ha! The owner of this house
must have something against deer.

Deer hunting's a European custom.

[growling]

Don't be afraid.

It's locked up in chains,
let out only at night.

Both of you,
please follow me.

[chuckles]

You want to borrow my two pieces of Armour
to prevent a human catastrophe?

That's overstating it a bit.

The situation's like this:
My girlfriend's been kidnapped.

These items must be redeemed,
or else she'll be killed.

- Isn't that important?
- As far as I'm concerned,

anyone's life can be said to be important,

or said to be unimportant.

Say I lend you the two pieces of Armour
to save your girlfriend's life.

Every day in Africa,
hundreds of people starve to death.

Then I should donate all my assets
to save them?

I only wish to borrow them
for a short time.

I'll return them to you when I'm done.

You can guarantee that?

Fine, I guarantee it.

Even if you're willing to guarantee it,
I've no reason to trust you.

- Then I'll buy them from you.
- [chuckles]

You think I still have any interest
in money? [chuckles]

Let's not dampen our spirits
with such talk.

You've come all this way.

How about I invite you
to look around my antique gallery?

I don't have much interest in antiques.

No, but I'm very interested.

Oh, turns out we're kindred spirits.

- Please, follow me.
- Hey...

[Alan] Whoa, it's a bit much!

Whoa!

So many antiques.

It's like a small museum.

[count chuckles]

In fact,
many museums from around the world

often borrow from my collection
for their exhibitions.

With so many valuable items here,
security must be tight?

I've raised 50 purebred hounds
and three leopards.

It's simply impossible for a stranger
to enter the count's residence.

So why would I need guards here?

[chuckles]

I guess.

Oh, yeah! Your two pieces of the Armour...
Let me broaden my horizons.

Oh, those two pieces?

Just over there.

Such valuable items,
just left like that?

To me,
they're just witnesses of history.

However,
some people don't think like that.

So what's the origin of these items?

Could it have something to do with
why my girlfriend was kidnapped?

Please sit...

It is said that thousands of years ago,
when man was pure of heart,

an evil religion arose and seized
the opportunity to lead mankind astray.

Thus, the True God,
representative of truth and justice,

waged a holy war of supremacy
against the evil sect.

[shouting]

[count] As a result, the True God,

representative of truth and justice
triumphed.

And so, the weapons and armour he employed
in combat were dubbed The Armour of God.

In modern times,
the evil sect has made a resurgence.

They even believe that if the five pieces
of Armour are destroyed,

the True God's religion will decline,
whilst theirs will carry forward.

What a flight of fancy!

[chuckles]

Religion used to be one of those things
where you either believed or you didn't.

While the difference between good and evil

- is whether Man is led toward virtue,
- [buzzer]

and whether those who believe in it
are brought peace and joy.

Then what kind of people are those
who Kidnapped my girlfriend?

[chuckles] Forgive me,
I'm unable to answer that.

It's getting late now.

Hawk,
I wasn't prepared for you to come today.

I now have a party to attend.

But you can't leave yet,
you must stay here a few days.

- Allow me the honour of playing host.
- I think there's no--

Never in my life
have I seen such a beautiful place.

I really must stay a few days.

That's great!
Aficionados like you are rare.

That settles it, then.

If there's anything you need,
don't hesitate to tell my butler.

Tonight you must take care
of my two honoured guests.

You both must treat this as your own home.

Make yourselves comfortable.

Please, follow me.

- Thank you very much.
- Thanks a lot.

Whoa,
you've barely finished dinner.

You ordered so many steaks.
You won't finish them all for supper!

It's a very long night.

You may not be hungry,
but the dogs and leopards are.

What do you mean by that?

When has the Hawk ever asked
for permission from the owner?

What?
You're asking me to steal something?

You were told,
no one's guarding it.

We're his guests now.

We were told to treat it as our own home.

Do you steal from your own home?

Huh!

Look who's talking principles!

- You just want to see Laura killed!
- That's beneath you!

I get it! If you can't have Laura,
you'd rather someone Kill her.

Then I can't have her either! [humphs]

- You're really treacherous!
- [Jackie] Uh--

[exhales]

What're you talking about?
Just because I said don't steal

doesn't mean
I'm not thinking of a solution.

When do you plan on doing something,
then?

You and I have had our fill.

Haven't you wondered
what life's like for Laura?

Think I feel any better?
Think I'm not anxious?

Besides, stealing won't work.

You haven't tried it,
how do you know it won't work?

You're dumber than you look!

When does anything in life come free?

I'm ready to give in to whatever demands
the count will have tomorrow.

I must borrow the Armour of God.

Why not steal it first,
and give it back later.

Wouldn't that be more efficient?

I said that won't work!
I won't steal it for you!

And I won't allow you
to steal it yourself.

Fine, no stealing. Only tonight
do I learn what it means to be “friends”!

Good night!

[sighs]

[locks door]

[revving engine]

- [groans]
- [footsteps]

[butler] Sir!

Our count wishes to see you.

Please...

[dogs growling]

[barking]

Shh. Keep it down.

[dogs panting]

Hey, are you alright?

I nearly became a dog biscuit!

Don't worry.

These dogs won't bite without a command
from either myself or my daughter.

Of course, same goes for eating.

Think of something!

[whistling]

[woman] Quickly now.
Out you go.

Hm?

It's you?!

[chuckles] She's my daughter, May.

We met at the auction.

Oh!

So you know each other?

It's easier to talk to one's own.

Hey...

Look what I dug up!

Well?
Isn't this of what you spoke?

That's the one.

Oh, so he's the one you said used a lackey
to bid against you at the auction

to buy back his own sword.

Oh.

I never dreamt she was your daughter,
otherwise, I wouldn't have done it.

Oh! Turns out you were ruthless first!

Hm?

My papa treated you as guests.

He did all this because he's desperate
to save his girlfriend.

I swear, I just want to borrow these items
to save my girlfriend,

and will return them intact right away.

- [siren]
- Hm?

- What's that sound?
- It isn't the ice-cream van.

- Go bring in the police.
- Yes.

Oh?

[chuckles] I was going to let it go,
but the police...

Now you've caught us,
you can say whatever you want.

You still have the right to speak?

I don't, but you do.

[chuckles]

So what do you think you can do for me?

Hey...
think of something he'd like to hear. Hm?

Alright. Do you want
a full set of the Armour of God?

- Go take care of the police first.
- Yes.

Hey! Hm?

The Armour of God has five pieces.

The men who kidnapped his girlfriend
asked only for three.

Naturally, the other two pieces
must be in their hands.

Very smart. That's consistent
with the information I have.

As long as you lend me your three pieces,
I guarantee to return them intact,

and find the other two pieces to form
a complete set of the Armour of God.

Alright, it's a deal!

But I have a condition.

Hm?

I'm coming to observe.

Oh! That's easy. Don't tell me two men...
can't keep one woman out of trouble.

[May] [E] Daddy.

Hm.

[groans]

[C] OK.

You must make sure she comes back
safe and untouched.

I can only make sure she comes back safe;
I can't guarantee untouched.

Anything else,
let nature take its course.

[yelps, groans]

[chuckles]

Hm.

Hey, it's no use your worrying.

We won't see Laura's kidnappers
until tomorrow at the earliest.

Here.

I'll be going with you.

Why look at me like that?

Don't think all women are useless.

I was the second-best shooter
in all of Europe last year.

If I come with you,
nothing bad will happen.

In last year's European female
shooting competition,

did only two women take part?

[humphs]

What's this?

Chinese butter.

It tastes weird.

Turns into cheese after a while.

Jackie, that bean curd's spoilt.

I Know.

Then why eat it?

I'm eating butter.

Oh.

[Jackie] Did they arrange
a special signal with you?

[Alan] No, they just told me
to carry the Armour in a black bag

and bring it to the plaza.

Someone would contact me.

But they said,
I had to come alone.

[Jackie] Then I can't accompany you.

[May] I'll keep an eye out
for anyone suspicious. You'll be fine.

Let me find a vantage point first.

[humphs] She actually looks the part.

I've seen enough of her.
Better than her getting in the way though.

Exchanging fakes with them
will only get Laura killed.

Give them the real thing,
they're liable to get stolen.

Until we know Laura's safe,
don't give them the real thing.

Let's go!

Now, go by yourself.

I'll be watching you.

Hey, you better watch properly.
Don't just stare at the girls.

Alright.

- Miss... our religion has many benefits.
- Let me think about it.

Do you believe in the Lord of All Things?

What Lord of All Things?
I"m not religious.

You must believe.
Only then can this person be saved.

Laura!

Remember next time to clear the balance,
you rascal.

OK.

The Armour of God?

In here.

But, I want to see my girlfriend's safe
before giving it to you.

Huh? It's fake.

Hm?

Sure, it's with my friend.
As long as I see my girlfriend--

[Alan grunting]

[gunshot]

Hey, don't be reckless!

Uh?

[gunshot]

Uh? Hm? [giggles]

Come over here.

[Jackie fighting]

[Alan] Hey, Jackie!

Why fight?
Come into the safety zone.

[lama] Don't go over, it's dangerous!

[Alan] Dangerous?!
Come here...

Shoot him...

Whoa!

I told you we didn't need her.
It's more dangerous with her!

Let's go!

- Let's go.
- Go where? Catch them for questioning.

You ask again...

- That's them, the Chinese guys!
- Let's go.

- You haven't asked yet.
- You ask.

I told you to give them the real thing.

Now it's gone tits-up,
what'll happen to Laura?

What's the use of talking so much?
Can it save her?

So I can't even talk about it now?!

How can we ask for news on Laura now?

Someone's catching up to tell us!

[chatter]

[beeping]

[customer] Look out!

- [continues beeping]
- Look out!

[screaming]

[veiling]

- [beeping]
- Hey, get out the way!

[shouting]

[sustained car horn]

Watch out overhead!

[groaning]

Sit tight.

They're getting awfully close.
Think of something quick!

[electronic noises]

- What's that?
- Sit tight.

Ram him...

[shouting]

[biker yelling]

He caught up!

[shouting]

[groans]

[brakes screech]

Great job, you lost them all?

[sustained car horn]

- What are they doing?
- They're going to ram us.

Then what are we going to do?

- Sit tight.
- Huh? Sit tight?

Hey! Ouch!
What are you doing?

[veiling]

Great...

Hey, this car's really cramped.

It was designed for me to sit alone.

[Alan] Goodbye!

[chatter]

Sit anywhere.

- Three glasses of beer.
- OK, coming right up.

What's this, then?
You asked us here just to drink beer?

Next time, ask before you order
someone a drink. Not everyone likes beer.

I ordered the three beers for myself.

Three glasses of beer,
that's 900 dinara.

- Here, keep the change.
- Thanks.

Have a drink on me.
I have some questions for you.

My answers are very expensive, though.

How expensive?

One hundred US dollars a question.

Usually, wherever I go,
I'll ask about this and that;

all sorts of questions,
random questions.

Oh, I must answer all questions.

Today in the plaza I saw
a group of missionaries in dark robes.

Who were they?

They're religious disciples
from up a nearby mountain.

- Where can I find them?
- Up the mountain!

Hey, you're rich,
but don't waste cash like that.

Besides coming down the mountain
to preach,

what are their usual activities?

Oh, first day of each month,

they come down the mountain
to buy food from the market.

Also,
they take women up the mountain.

Who are these girls?

You don't have to answer that.
Thank you. Let's go.

- Hey!
- [E] Bye-bye!

- [C] You already know?
- Of course, I know. They're whores!

I think this 100 bucks
isn't worth saving.

- [chuckles]
- Hm!

Can you tell us
how to get up the mountain?

Oh!

Sorry, I don't know.

Thanks a lot.

- We'll be back next month.
- Thanks.

[E] Bye-bye.

[door closes]

- [yelping]
- [fighting]

- [giggling]
- [C] Hurry up.

- [women giggling]
- [shouting]

[laughter]

Don't throw it.

- What are you doing here?
- Being a whore.

Don't you know how dangerous this is?

Do you know what you'll have to do
up this mountain?

So what?
At worst, it'll mean death.

No need to die.

Let me teach you how to be a whore.

[laughter]

[chatter]

[shouting]

- [cheering]
- [lama] It"s good to see you.

Quickly, off the truck.

Off the truck...

- Come down.
- Careful.

- Thanks.
- Careful.

Come this way.

Go on up.

May the Lord of All Things bless you.

According to worldwide reports,

last month we recruited
a total of 3,000 new believers.

Come here...
Tell them to come quickly.

- This time there's more than last.
- Yeah...

This proves that more and more people
believe in the religion of All Things.

Good. Well done.
How about the harvest crops?

The rear mountain poppies
can be refined into 3,600kg of opium,

and ready for shipment
middle of the month.

[woman #1] Every time we come here,
we have to climb all these stairs.

It's really exhausting!

[woman #2] Come on,
why talk so much?

- May as well save your breath.
- [lama] Get a move on.

[panting]

We've refined another 2,500kg
of morphine bricks,

700kg of heroin, 300kg of cocaine.

[all] [E] Hi!

[C] Except the portion
kept for personal use,

most was shipped abroad for fund-raising,
or for the purposes of preaching.

- [chatter]
- After two years of research,

our new tranquilliser
has been successfully refined.

Founder,
Asian Hawk and Alan have infiltrated.

The secret services of many countries
are very interested in our new drug.

- It may be mass-produced.
- Take care of things here.

But, once the factory
at the foot of the mountain

goes into production next month,

we can handle it.
As for--

Dear Brother, can you make your report
as quickly as possible?

Oh, my report's complete!

Dear Brothers,
after 30 days of hard work,

our monthly day of joy
has come once again.

Now the Goddesses of Joy are here,

we should express our gratitude
to the True God.

To the supreme Lord of All Things:

Thank you for allowing us
entry to this world.

Thank you for making the sun, the moon,
and the stars that illuminate our lives.

Thank you for making animals, plants,
bacteria, and all living things.

For allowing hunger and abundance
into our lives.

For health and sickness.

Most of all,
thank you for creating men and women,

and letting us enjoy
the pleasure of both sexes.

[all] Thank The Lord for His grace.

Happy time begins.

[jubilant shouting]

[chief lama] Be quiet!

Everyone,
seek all the pleasure you wish.

- May's been caught.
- Forget it, let's go.

- Hey, act naturally as we leave.
- Oh, right.

She wants to play the whore,

- let her have a taste--
- Ha-ha! Ha-ha!

[continues]

“Ha”, my arse!

Do you know where Laura is?

Still obsessed with Laura
even now May's been caught?

You never cared for her before,
yet now...

I'm not worried if she's fine,
but she's now--

Even if something's wrong,
she signed up for it herself.

Women just get in the way.

You're the one who's in the way!

[grunting]

What are you doing?

I must exorcise your demons.

Exorcise what demons?
I don't have demons!

Now go inform the Grand Lama.

The Asian Hawk has infiltrated.

Let them do whatever they want.

Be sure not to stop them.

Understand?

[whimpers]

How long can this drug last?

[lama] Three days.

During these three days,
she will obey our instructions completely.

Good.

You will pledge allegiance to the founder.

- I pledge allegiance to the founder.
- Your task is to follow Alan

down the mountain and retrieve
three pieces of the Armour of God.

- I will retrieve the Armour of God.
- Inject the Asian Hawk

and demand his loyalty
to our Religion of All Things.

Inject the Asian Hawk,

and demand his loyalty
to our Religion of All Things.

- Hm.
- A toast to our fate.

Don't drink too much,
this wine is strong.

And you?
Aren't you afraid of getting drunk?

However strong the wine,
I'm not afraid.

See how strong it is?
Let's not waste time.

[gasps]

What are you doing?
I paid for this.

I want to talk.

Nothing worth talking about.

You really are the most beautiful whore.

[whimpering]

[chief lama panting]

Hm? What are you trying to do?

I just wanted to pour you some wine.

Who the hell are you?

Oh, I'm just a whore!

No!
You're a respectable woman.

I'm not a respectable woman.
I'm a whore!

You wanted to knock me out
with that bottle?

Just who are you?

- No, I really am a whore. Believe me--
- [knocking at door]

[lama] What's the matter?

[whispers]
The Founder says the girl's a spy.

Let her do whatever she wants.

Hm.

Hm-hmm.

You said you'd pour me a drink.

Oh, OK!
I'll do it now.

- Hey, what do we do now?
- The mouth leads the way.

- So what's that mean?
- Ask!

Ask?

Amitabha.

Hm?

Huh?! We got away with that!

[quietly] That's what you think.
He's following us.

Act natural.

You mustn't laugh.

[both groan]

Hey!

- Where's the Chinese girl you captured?
- What?

The Chinese girl?!

Downstairs, in a guarded room.

- Here.
- What now?

He's yours!

Oh!

[slurred]
I'm in charge of the storage room,

the refuse, the kennels,
and the cells.

Come, let's go to bed,
and chat some more...

Get up.
Don't sleep.

How can I go when you're asleep?

- [groans]
- Get up!

You're really that drunk?

[shivers in pain]

You wish.
I can only deal with two at a time.

What about the one that's left?
Expect me to talk him round?

My hand still hurts.

Up to you.

[whimpers]

[exasperated sigh]

Pull it up before you move!

[whispers] This is for you.

So violent?
I once sang at a peace concert!

I too know that violence is disagreeable.

Use it or not, it's up to you!
I can still only manage two.

Eh!

But don't mention it back in Hong Kong.

[lamas] Huh?

Close the door!

Hm?

- [groaning]
- I'm a dead man relying on you!

Why else would I ask you...?

Shh!

- Oh!
[Alan groans]

- What's wrong?
- [whimpers] She saw me and still struck!

[grunts]

[May] How could I know it was you?

They... you didn't have to...?

What do you want to know?

You're OK, that's good.

Look for a key.

Why would the keys be with this pawn?

[gasps] Actually, you're the best!

Girls can be capable too, sometimes.

- Then help me tie them up.
- [May] Hm.

[whispering] Laura! Laura!

Laura! Laura! Do you know how long
I've been looking for you? Laura!

Laura, he's Jackie. Are you alright?
Don't scare me like that.

I'm afraid.

Don't be afraid,
I'll soon take you back.

- She may still be in shock.
- Don't talk so much, guys.

Say whatever it is
once we're down the mountain.

Hurry, get her out of here.

Let's go quickly.

[chatter]

[all] Come on...

[E] Bye-bye!

- [C] See you next time.
- [E] Bye-bye!

- Bye! Bye!
- Bye-bye.

[lama] Bye-bye.

[exchanges of “Bye-Bye!”]

[passengers chuckle]

[C] Thank you.

The earliest air tickets are for tomorrow.
It's all booked.

Then we'll rest here for the night.

Fine.

Besides, Laura says she feels unwell
and can't travel.

She should be alright tomorrow.

Just make yourself at home.
You're welcome.

But we haven't yet fulfilled
our promise to your father.

- What?
- Huh?

- What?
- I's nothing.

You and Laura have an early night.
I have a plan for what happens next.

Yeah, right... Good night.

- Good night.
- I'll go up with them.

[Alan grunts]

Thanks for everything this time.

I didn't do anything.
This was an unexpected success.

Of course, you have me here.
I'm a lucky charm. It was a sure thing.

[both] Good night...

Good night.

Come on, let's go.

[May locks door]

Tomorrow I'll take them to Frankfurt
for their flight back to Hong Kong.

And then I'll come back.

Is that necessary?

Fulfilling a promise's one reason;
biggest reason's that I enjoy it.

Want to play whore again?

Sorry.

Good night.

[Alan] Huh?

- You want to see the Armour of God now?
- Hm.

If you want,
you can see it tomorrow, OK?

I really want to see it.

Alright...

I'll find a way to show you. Hm?

[door opens and closes]

[knocking at door]

What's wrong? Your face looks like it did
when Laura was kidnapped.

It's nothing.

It's nothing,
SO you come to me?

If it's nothing,
I can't come to you?

No, if it's nothing,
go find something to do with Laura.

- Why call on me?
- She said she didn't want to.

What? She didn't want to,
SO you came to me?

What's that about?

[sighs] It's not that!
I don't know how to explain it to you.

So what's going on?

Have you noticed Laura looks a little off?

She's been locked up for over ten days.
Of course she'll look a little off.

That's not it!

I can't shake the feeling
something's different about her.

Oh!

That's true,
she's not as young as when we chased her.

She has to see the Armour this late.
Wouldn't you say that's strange?

I'd say you're strange.
She's always been curious.

Besides,
it's the reason she was kidnapped.

- If she has to see it show her.
- Oh, then you can ask May for me.

No way.
I just got slapped by her.

You got slapped by her?

What happened?
Tell me about it.

It's nothing.
You want to borrow it?

- I'll take you, but you ask her yourself.
- Hey...

[Alan grunts]

Knock on the door.

Hey, no one answers.

Either she's taking a bath
or she's getting changed.

Take a peek and find out.

- Hey...
- Hey, May!

- Not here.
- Wait for May to return and ask her.

Hey... Laura's waiting in our room.
A quick peek and I'll bring it right back.

Hey!

Hurry up!

Hm?

Jackie,
what are you doing opening my door?

I...

While I'm out, you stand furtively
at my door? What is it you want?!

[Jackie clears throat]

Were you trying to make off
with the Armour of God?

- No!
- [humphs]

Get out of my face at once!

I hate people
who don't respect the privacy of others.

Especially those
who randomly open my door.

May, listen to me.

Actually,
I came to apologise to you.

- [runs bath]
- I know I was wrong.

You know you were wrong?

- I don't know.
- What did you say?

I know!
I know I shouldn't talk nonsense.

- Is there anything else?
- Anything else?

[Jackie stammers]

What else is there?

Why did you treat me like that before?

I didn't mean to, but...

- [yells]
- [yells] What's the matter?

[exhales]

I have something to show you.

You have something to show me?

But... I can't show you here.

Where can I see it?

See it in my room.

Come on, I'll go with you.
Let's go.

- [May] Why do we have to go to your room?
- [Jackie] I'll tell you when we're there.

- You said you have something to show me?
- Oh!

Er...

Look.

- I'll show you some childhood pictures.
- Hm-hmm.

- Oh!
- Ah!

Laura.

You brought me here to show me this?!

May, listen.
I can explain.

- What are you doing here?
- Waiting for you.

I want to see you.

See me about what?

Don't you know that when someone hasn't
seen you in a long time they miss you?

No, Laura.
Don't do this.

It would be bad if Alan saw.

Why mention him?

Laura, don't do this.

Wait here a minute.

[exhales]

Hey, Jackie.

- Has Laura been here?
- She hasn't been here.

- Isn't she in your room?
- She's not there.

[water running]

- Someone there?
- Oh, no.

No?

Still saying “no”"?
Who is it?

Oh, it's just May.

Pfft!
What's to be embarrassed about? Huh?

I'm afraid she'll be embarrassed.

Let's go out and wait.
Let her be here by herself.

[chuckles] Fine.

I'll be back in a minute.

When did it start? Hm?

It started just now.

To be frank,
your getting slapped then was worth it.

Worth it?

[gasps]

[humphs]

- Huh? Then your bathroom--
- My bathroom goes to her bathroom.

So now she's come out,
pretend not to know, eh?

You've been to his room.
You saw it, right?

- I didn't see anything.
- Still pretending you don't know?

[chuckles] Even if I didn't see it,
I still know what's going on.

Since you already know,
you don't mind at all?

These days it's no big deal.
Besides, we're all good friends.

Even better
if your relationship's progressed.

Oh, so you're not only good friends,
but “bosom buddies”, too?

Right,

- we're best friends.
- Right.

“Friends”.

You're really no better than beasts!

Huh?
My fault again?

Hey, seemed like she suffered
a major upset just then.

I didn't do anything.

Ha! Then no wonder.

I'll sweet-talk her for you.

No need.

Better go back to your room
and see if Laura's there.

- I know how to sweet-talk girls.
- Then go on up.

Hey... May's a good girl.

- I know.
- She's right for you.

- I know!
- Go ahead...

You're back again?

No, I'm arranging for a man
and a woman to make love.

- What did you say?!
- Not with you.

- [humphs]
- [Jackie] Eh--

Why are you packing?

I don't want to see you guys again.
I'm leaving tonight.

- What are you doing here?
- I'll help you pack.

[humphs]

[chuckles]

[Jackie] Ah! May! May! May!

Huh.

That room connects through to here?

Ridiculous!

- [jab]
- [groans]

Laura.

[groans]

[May] What's the matter, Jackie?

Alan and Laura
have taken off with the Armour.

How could that be?

I have to go back up that mountain.

- What about me?
- You can help me arrange a few things.

[sniffs]

[revving]

[groans]

[pants]

[bird screeching]

[bats chittering]

[gasping]

[water dripping]

[both yell]

[both groan in pain]

Alan? Alan?

[dogs barking]

- [lama #1] What's with all the barking?
- [lama #2] Let's take a look.

[lama #1] OK.

What's up?
Be quiet!

[barking continues]

[dogs whimper]

- [gasps]
- Shh.

Gwong-Sang!

[Jackie] Don't be afraid.

It's alright.
I'll get you out.

- What did you just call him?
- Gwong-Sang.

Only she can call me by that name.

Disgusting!

What took you so long?

You should talk.
Don't you know what you've done?

Of course, we know.
You think we wanted to?

Fortunately,
we're both alright now.

Well, I'm convinced. If something was up,
Laura wouldn't have called me Gwong-Sang.

Disgusting! So how do we get out?

I'll make a break for it with Laura.
Think of a way to get yourself out.

[gasps] You think so highly of me?

From the start,
I only promised you I'd save Laura.

- I never said I'd save you.
- Good!

Good one, Chan Gwong-Sang!

You finally found the chance
to take revenge on me.

You never knew,
but he always said I stole his beloved.

He's held a grudge all this time.

You're really something!
I'm unable to break out.

Once you get out,
take care of Laura for me.

You don't have to tell me what to do.

Let's hurry up and leave,
before it's too late.

We can't leave him behind.

Laura,
forget about this unfortunate man.

I wish you both eternal happiness.

Why aren't you willing to save him,
as well?

When I was a boy in kindergarten,
I had a wish:

to be just like Jesus and offer salvation
to everyone in the world.

But when I grew up, I realised
that one man's strength is limited.

If I try to save one more,
all three of us will fail to escape.

Right!

Laura, you mustn't let your emotions
get in the way now.

Jackie's kung fu is limited.

If he overestimates his abilities
and tries to save me,

then surely acting in a mad rush
only puts you in danger.

You'd better ignore me,
and go with him.

I'll be fine here, as long as I know
you"re living happily on the outside.

That'll be enough.

You go!

Alan, you're so good to me.

This proves I was right to choose you.

Go on your own.
I've decided to stay here.

You're really something.

You asked me to get you out of here
without even opening your mouth.

I repressed my anger wondering how
I lost to you all those years ago.

I just saw you demonstrate it once more.

I admit defeat.

Now I have to get you out,
even if it breaks my legs.

I always said,
you were the bravest man in the world.

Too bad women only like men
who know how to flatter them.

Sorry to trouble you, then.

What trouble?
You think this is free?

They extorted US $5 million
from your management.

You can give me half,
if not all.

Don't play the role of profiteer.
It's not you.

I have no choice.

If he's playing the good guy,
what can I do but be the villain?

Toying with me?

I'm very calm.

Remember, stay alert!

- You don't say! I'm not stupid!
- [both gasp]

It's nothing.

Hey...
I think going this way looks easier.

Then you go that way.

Either way's the same.

Now, after this passage,
we'll split up.

I'll take care of the guards.

What about you?

Me?

Forget about this unfortunate man.

[humphs] Don't listen to him.
It's hard for thieves to change.

He's only ever concerned
with the Armour of God.

- That's gratitude for you!
- [tuts]

Why are you giving me a canteen?

For you to make coffee!

Why are you giving me a knife?
I don't do violence.

Then use it to kill yourself.

Huh!

Watch out!
This path's really dark.

Pfft!
You can relax.

I walked paths like these in the country
when I was little,

so I'm used to them.

Black mud, white rocks,
bright pools.

- Shh.
- [yelps]

DANGER

Come on.

[Alan banging] Help!

Jackie! Quickly!
Help me, Jackie!

- Hm?
- Hm?

Don't make a sound,
or I'll stab you to death.

Shut up!

Huh?

How did he get out?

- Hurry, see where the other one went.
- [lamas] Yes!

[chuckles nervously]

[sniggering]

NO ENTRY WITHOUT PERMISSION

- [lamas laugh]
- [chuckles]

- Catch him.
- [grunts]

Huh?

Come out!

- [lamas shout and laugh]
- [Alan shouts]

[Alan] I'm not fighting back.
Don't pull...

Alright, I'm getting angry!

Hey, buddy!
My trousers are coming off!

[lamas continue laughing]

[Alan] Enough!
No more!

[veiling]

Huh?!

- Quick, go with Laura.
- You hang in there!

- Go!
- Do you need me to help?

No!

Hang in there...

Jackie, behind you!

- I'm really going this time.
- Go!

- Gwong-Sang! Goodbye!
- Let's go...

- Split up and chase.
- Yes!

- Attack!
- Yes!

Quick, put out the fire!

Wait...
We meet again!

Huh?!

Over there!

- Gimme!
- Fly!

- Here.
- Take them!

[screams]

Get down!

There's a path behind you.
Hurry up and go!

- Go now and don't come back!
- Think I'll want to come back?

I'll count to three. You just go!
Ready, one - two - three.

[Jackie yells]

[Laura yelps]

[Alan] Let's go!

Huh? A man?!

- Let's go.
- [lama groans]

[Jackie yells]

- Split up and chase.
- OK!

Jackie, we're really going this time.
Take care of yourself.

- Hey, over there! Chase him!
- Chase him!

[lamas] Don't run...

[banging on door]

[lama #1] You don't know?

[lama #2] How could I not know?
Think I'm stupid?

Who are you?

- [E] Hi!
- [C] Catch him!

[lama] Right!

[lama groans]

You three,
go out and seal all the exits.

Yes...

So you're the Asian Hawk?

That's right.

But this is Europe.

In the eyes of a hawk, there are
no geographical or ethnic boundaries.

You want to take a piece of
the Armour of God from here?

Not one piece, the whole set.

If you have no objections,
I'll just walk away with it.

What on earth makes you bold enough
to come here to die?

I do what My Lord tells me to do.
I wouldn't dare not to.

The food I eat, the house I live in;
all given to me by My Lord.

Whatever He tells me to do,
I only say “yes”, never say “no”.

So what religion exactly
do you believe in?

What's the name of your Lord?

I believe in an omnipotent religion
that's the root of all evil.

My Lord's name is Money.

Fine. Then you'll now be martyred
for the money in which you believe.

[laughs]

[sustained yell, others join in]

[yelps]

[veiling]

[veils in pain]

[founder laughs]

Today, you're sure to die.

I'm only ashamed to hit them so hard
because they're girls.

Since when did people
who sacrifice for money

know how to pity the fairer sex?

But then,
these girls have no feelings.

They just know
that if anyone harms our religion,

they want them to die.

Even if I do sacrifice,
it's only my life I'm putting in danger.

That's better than your religion
spreading lies and deceit,

and leading countless people
to their deaths fighting in your name.

And for what?

It's humanity's misfortune to have
a religion like yours in the world.

[yelps]

[E] Sorry.

[woman yells]

[yells]

[C] If no one objects,
I think I can take these pieces and go.

No one?

If each of us hammered you,
nothing could stop the bleeding.

[footsteps approaching]

Hm.

I'm really scared!

Tear him apart as a sacrifice to God.

Yes!

[gasping]

[humphs] Idle threat?

Try it.

- Catch him.
- [lamas] Yes!

[founder chuckles]

As I said, an idle threat.

This time, I gave you a chance.

Next time, I'll let it explode.

At worst, we perish together.

We're prepared to sacrifice
for The True God, anytime, anywhere, yes?

Yes!

Fine.

I'll see how great you are.

Oh!

[shouting]

Why should everyone
make a needless sacrifice?

- I'm only taking a few things.
- [E] Oh, my God!

[screaming]

[explosion]

[C] Hey...

[shouting]

[Jackie] Whoa!

[gasping]

[grunting]

Yellow smoke, over there.

- Hurry, fly over.
- Right! Hurry up and help.

[grunts]

Fly a bit closer.

- [“Lorelei” by Alan Tam]
- [grunting]

He made it down.

Jackie, how are you?

[women] Are you OK?

I'm fine.
Maintain the speed.

[grunting]
