"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.
Positive ID on Giscard.
Kwun Yum Temple.
- And hes got company.
- Copy that.
Hold your position.
Pai Gow.
Its our guy.
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!
The medallion.
You cannot come in he...
You will give me what I want.
Whats that?
Check it out.
- Go that way.
- Got it.
Peter?
Eddie.
Interpol! Fre...
What the he...?
You okay?
This way, men.
Follow me. Down here.
Its the cops!
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.
Good job.
Okay, this is what I want.
All right, notify the team...
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
- Keep the change.
- Thank you.
Got it. The Sea Horizon.
- Where are you keeping the boy?
- In a safe place.
Very good. Take me to him.
Up there. Okay.
- Where is he?
- 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.
Attention! This is the marine police.
You are ordered to stand down!
Prepare to be boarded.
Attention!
- Showtime!
- This is the marine police.
You are ordered to stand down!
Prepare to be boarded!
This is the marine police.
Look out!
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.
- Thank you.
Arthur, you didnt tell me we were
having guests.
- Please, welcome.
- Didnt know myself.
- Were librarians.
- Librarian?
Charlotte, this is Eddie Yang
from Hong Kong.
Are you staying for dinner?
- Yes.
- No. Absolutely not.
Thank you.
See what youve done to my chops?
Whats that called?
Now?
"Lamb la victim."
Right. Well, yes. Come on.
You know the score.
You eat, you work.
What brings you to Dublin?
- Right. I was looking for...
- Looking for a rare book.
Yes, actually, we were wondering...
...if Arthur would help us find this
rare book.
Oh, well, unfortunately, Im looking for
that book myself, so...
Maybe we could find it together.
But Im head librarian, though, right?
Right.
You need help checking in?
I already checked in.
Okay.
Here. Directions.
Where to meet Watson tomorrow.
He told me to give them to you.
Why cant he just pick me up?
Its Watson.
"Privileged information, eyes-only,
need-to-know and all that." So...
Okay.
Okay.
Nicole.
Yeah?
Tonight was fun.
Yeah.
Excuse me.
- Is this place far away or close by?
- Far away.
- Hop in the car and I'll take you.
- Thank you.
What are you doing?
Move.
Move! Move! Get out of the way!
- Oh, my!
- Sorry.
Did you see that?
What are you doing?
Open this door!
Hey, whats going on?
Now, mind yourself.
Come on.
Wait a minute.
What are you doing?
I havent even done any...
Say it!
Talk! Wheres the boy?
Let me out of here
or Ill kick your ass.
Speak English! You are hard
to understand!
- You ever hear of police brutality?
- Sounds like fun.
One more chance
until you kick the can.
You mean, "kick the bucket."
- What?
- You mean, "kick the bucket."
If you say so.
What kind of music you like?
Okay, okay, okay.
Just let me out and we can talk
about this, all right?
Hes coming on a boat. I dont know
what time. A freighter.
- Hell be coming into the docks.
- A boat!
Look, just let me out of here!
Do you know how long I've been
waiting here for you?
Whats the matter? You sound like an
obscene phone call.
Youre out of shape.
You should keep fit.
Right, but lets not waste any more
time, shall we?
Pier 5. Well, that must be the ship,
if Giscards telling the truth.
Lets hope so.
Its all weve got to go on.
Now, these are very
dangerous people, all right?
Do you have a gun?
No, are you going to give me one?
No, get your own bloody gun.
And remember,
Im head librarian, all right?
- All right?
- Yes.
Right.
Heres the plan.
L"II circle around to the left.
You circle ar...
You circle arou...
And Ill just bloody talk to myself.
Then you go straight through.
Go around.
Welcome, Chosen One.
Excuse me.
Youre under arrest.
Come on! He went this way!
Have you seen him?
There.
Watson, come on!
Wheres the boy?
- We couldnt find him.
- Find him!
Shoot him.
You okay?
Go, go, go, go! Get the boy!
Interpol! Freeze!
- Hello?
- Hello, it's me.
Me, who?
Eddie! Where are you?
Im trapped inside the container
with the boy.
Stay right where you are.
Im on my way.
What color is it?
I dont know.
Watson.
- Eddies in a container.
- Which one?
I have absolutely no idea.
There! There!
Its Eddie.
Eddie.
Eddie, its Nicole. Just hang on.
Watson, get over here.
I need your help!
Nicole!
Oh, my God!
Dont be afraid.
Im not afraid.
Well be all right.
We got control of the container. We
believe that theres bodies inside.
I need an oxygen tank
and a stretcher. Now!
Eddie, please dont leave me, Eddie.
Eddie, come back to me.
Eddie, please.
- You all right?
- Please.
Eddie, come back.
Nicole...
...hes gone.
Come on.
God bless, Eddie.
God bless.
Nicole.
- Weve got work to do.
- You sure?
Im sure.
Lets go.
Im sorry...
...I wasnt there when you needed me
most, my friend.
That was nice.
Thank you. L...
- Whats wrong?
- Who are you?
Whats the matter?
Who are you? What...?
What are we doing here?
Wheres my clothes?
Watson.
Watson.
- Watson!
- Get away from me!
It must be fake.
Well, it certainly looks like you.
My nose isnt that big.
Its really me.
Are you sure?
Dont you think I recognize
my own thing?
Its cold in here.
Let me take a look.
- Whats happening to me?
- All right.
Lets just...
...stay calm.
Im sure theres a perfectly rational
explanation for this. Think back.
You were on the boat,
in the container.
What happened?
Lights everywhere.
- The boy.
- The boy?
- Medallion.
- Yes.
I have it. It was in your pocket.
Whats this?
Wow.
Where did you go?
Excuse me, nurse.
Were from Interpol.
Would you mind if we have
a few moments with the boy?
You know, the man outside
says youre not eating.
You should eat to gain strength.
How are you feeling?
Feeling. Feel.
Feeling.
Bit bumpy out there
on the ocean waves?
Bit rough?
Out there?
Out there on the high seas?
Bumpity-bumpity?
Excuse me. We have to take him
for a checkup now.
Yes, yes, yes.
Wait.
I think this belongs to you.
Half for me?
Nice lad.
You okay?
That nurse...
Yeah.
Her boots...
No.
Her boots.
Oh, boots.
Nurses dont wear boots.
Watch out!
- Get out of my way!
- Sorry.
- Get the boy.
- Stop him.
What the heck?
Give me that!
There he goes!
Come here.
- I got him. I got him.
- There he is.
Hes mine. Ive got him.
Lets go.
Jai!
- Clear all exits.
- Right, sir.
Watson, are you there?
Im not here.
What happened?
Snakeheads men.
They were here for the boy.
- Im gonna keep him with me.
- Good idea. Keep him safe. Yes. Yes.
Watson, you did all this alone?
No, Eddie is...
I mean, I think I mentioned that Eddie
wasnt the only one with a black belt.
So youre all right?
Perfect.
- Great.
- Okay. L"II see you back at the...
Yeah. Im gonna do a couple of
press-ups and meet you back there.
Yes. Yes.
You just take care of the boy.
- Eddie, listen...
- Watson, something wrong.
Snakeheads men got away again,
but at least the boy is safe.
I mean, something wrong with me.
Hit me.
- What?
- Go on, hit me.
No, I cant do that.
Its okay, I dont mind.
Well, I mind. I mean...
A chap could break
a finger, you know.
Okay.
Use this.
- No, thanks. I went before I came out.
- No, hit me with this.
- For real?
- Yes.
God.
There you go. All right?
Harder.
I cant do this. This is ridiculous.
- The queen hits harder than that.
- How...
How dare you.
Oh, my God. Are you all right?
Oh, God. Im so sorry, my friend.
Did it hurt?
Of course it hurt.
But nothing.
I was shot before...
...but I was okay.
Shoot me.
Go ahead.
No, I think the embalming fluid
has gone to your head.
- This is ridiculous.
- Give me the gun.
- Absolutely not.
- L"II show you.
You know how many forms I have to
fill out if I fire my gun? Absolutely not.
- This is how accidents happen.
- Look.
Amazing.
No blood.
Amazing.
Incredible.
- See?
- I mean, still...
Thats incredible. I mean, just...
- Stop that.
- Im sorry.
That was below the belt. Im sorry.
Thats what I mean.
Can one of you explain
this latest failure?
Why you couldnt
retrieve one small boy?
Sir...
...this might sound crazy...
...but I emptied a whole clip into that
Chinese cop and he still wouldnt die.
What Chinese cop?
Thats Eddie Yang.
Hes supposed to have died yesterday,
drowned in that container.
Then its true.
Professor. Doctor. Doctor.
Professor. Doctor. Doctor.
Thank you for being here.
Weve come across something
very interesting.
Have you ever seen this before?
- Doesn't ring a bell. Doctor?
- I've seen that before.
- The fish is the sign of life.
- That's interesting.
- And the snake is the sign of...
- Whoa.
The medallion.
You're gonna love this.
Now, it should have a serpent
on one side.
And a fish on the other.
If what you have is real, that is
the Holy Grail of Eastern mythology.
And maybe the secret to eternal life.
Sweet!
- Where'd you get the medallion?
- I recognize the fish.
- You got it from a kid, didn't you?
- Yes.
The legend says
every thousand years...
...a child is chosen that can bind the
halves together...
...and restore life to the dead.
You get that kid and the medallion...
...you're a god.
- That's nonsense.
- So where's the other half?
- Wait!
The ancient texts say that if you want
superhuman strength...
...and immortality,
you need both halves.
The only documented case
of a genuine resurrection...
You can't weigh it,
measure it, smoke it.
Look, ancient texts aren't fairy tales.
Thank you, professor. Doctor. Doctor.
- Cheerio, for now.
- Good luck.
Why would a young boy
have something like this?
This Snakehead chap, is he
after the medallion or the boy?
By the way,
take good care of that kid.
The medallion can not only give life,
it can take it away.
Okay, Ill cover the front door,
call in for backup.
You go to the rear to Nicoles
apartment as fast as you can.
Got it.
Sorry.
You know, for a little person,
you sure do eat a lot.
Still going?
What did you have?
Okay.
Here we go.
Try that.
That good?
You dont like... Youre not...
One of my culinary skills...
...other than peeling fruit, of course...
...just so happens to be a toasted...
...peanut butter and jelly sandwich...
...which, I might add, Eddie could eat
for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Then again, he didnt really
have any choice.
- Why?
- Because I cant cook anything else.
I just cant believe
that hes really gone.
Hes not gone.
Jai...
...do you not understand that Eddies
not coming back?
I pulled him back.
Okay...
Jai, Eddies...
He...
Just hold on.
See?
Oh, my God.
Eddie?
Eddie.
Jai!
No!
Eddie!
You see? I told you he wasnt dead.
The boy, sir.
Yes.
Welcome...
...my old friend.
So...
...a quick, painless death...
...followed by resurrection...
...immortality...
...and powers beyond your dreams.
Are you sure?
His order is ruled
by reverence for life.
My death before him
must be reversed.
And if it isnt...
...kill him.
And then who would bring you back,
Chosen One?
Pitiful mortal.
So...
...I have no further use
for you, Chosen One.
Youre not immortal.
What?
To become immortal, you need
both halves of the medallion.
Wheres the other half?
Tell me!
- Nicole.
- Eddie.
Its me. Im fine, really.
I just...
I still dont understand, Eddie,
because I was there...
...and I saw you, and...
- Nicole, its me.
You see, its just that I was at the
container and you were dead.
I mean, you were dead.
Nicole, the boy uses the medallion
to give life.
Thats why Snakehead took him.
With the boy and the medallion,
he could...
He could become like you?
Yes, but he needs
the whole medallion...
...and he only has half.
Look...
...this is a touching reunion.
Were all glad that Eddies
amongst the living...
...but we still havent found
Snakeheads helicopter.
Get online. Find anything
that was in the air in the last hour.
I dont care if it was a bird, a plane
or bloody Superman.
No offense, old chap.
Eddie.
If he needs the other half, hes
gonna come looking for you.
If he is looking for me...
...hell be looking for my partner.
Me?
My family.
My family.
Cool.
See, thats not normal. I mean,
thats not natural. What...?
Eddie, take my bike!
Thank God.
Theyre all right.
Charlotte?
Charlotte? I have something
I have to tell you.
Yes, dear?
Eddie...
Watson! Theyre here!
Go!
Go!
Charlotte, where are you going?
This is no time for cleaning.
Take your shield!
Watson!
- Are you all right, love?
- Yes, Im fine, dear.
Catch!
Here. L"II lead them away.
Your wife?
What the...?
There you are. Quick. Quick.
Thats a good boy.
Now, listen. Guns are very dangerous
things, all right? Right.
How dare you shoot...
...at my...
...wife!
My Lord.
Whered he go?
We meet again...
...Eddie Yang.
Wheres the boy?
My guest is no concern of yours.
All that matters is that you have the
other half of the medallion.
Dont run, Eddie!
You cant hide from me!
The medallion is mine!
You think its a game?
Well, lets play!
Were the same, you and I.
What a pity. What a waste.
You dont know
what powers you have.
Destiny calls.
Hes sleeping. At least, I think thats
what hes doing.
He doesnt even look like hes
breathing.
The boy!
Oh, God, I wish
you wouldnt do that.
Eddie, youre all right.
The boys in danger.
Hes going to kill him. Right?!
Snakehead has taken the boy
to Ravens Keep.
I told you everything I know.
I did.
We need to move fast.
Of course I can fly this thing.
I built it myself.
You take the bike.
L"II guide you from the air.
Im driving.
Thats Ravens Keep.
Its five miles away.
You should wash your hands.
Come on.
Nicole.
Be careful.
You too.
- What the hell are you doing here?
- Wheres the boy?
- Lets get out of here!
- Move!
You cowards!
Watson. Watson!
Are you crazy?
Be careful.
Interpol. Freeze.
Jai, are you all right?
There she is! Get her!
Excuse me.
You looking for something?
Interpol! Freeze!
Interpol! Freeze!
Interpol! Free...
Jai, thank God.
Youre in danger.
Its over.
Youre safe now.
I dont think so.
No, its all right.
Run!
For your lives.
Its not nice to take things
that dont belong to you.
Fetch.
My brother...
...dont be sentimental.
Its so unnecessary.
Its so human.
So normal.
You and I will live forever.
We are the lords of time.
We can take whatever we choose.
I mean, what difference can a single
human life like hers make to us?
We are immortal.
Let me show you.
Eddie, use the medallion
to end the life that it gave.
Can you?
Its your turn.
Whats that for?
That, Eddie Yang,
is for not catching me.
And that, Eddie Yang, is for not
catching me.
Interpol! Freeze!
Isnt that lovely?
Of course...
...when he came back, he was naked.
I mean, completely starkers.
Not a stitch.
Im not complaining, mind you.
Listen, I have this cough.
I think its quite serious.
Honestly, I could snuff at any point.
I dont suppose youd consider
a rub on your medallion?
I really am. Hello?
Its very bad...
Very bad. You...
Please, the med... One quick rub.
Thats all. Oh, the medallion.
Quick. Give me the medallion.
Give it.
All right.
It was only a tickle anyway.
Come with me.
Wait!
Nicole! Eddie!
You cant leave me here.
Goodbye!
Okay, that wasnt scary at all.
He walked through a vortex
to the next universe.
Im going this way.
- Quiet on the set. Are cameras ready?
- Cameras are ready.
Jackie, Claire. And action.
Im sorry.
Can you overlap
that line for me?
Eddie Yang. I knew there
couldnt be two of you.
- Will you say action, or am I just...?
- I did. Okay, here we go.
And action.
Three months and not so much
as a phone call?
That made me so nervous.
I slapped you so hard.
- Come on! Oh, my God!
- In the middle...!
- I got slapped for nothing!
- Im so sorry.
- I am so sorry. Im so sorry.
- I cant believe it.
- Oh, no!
- Claire.
Jackie, Im so sorry.
That rea... That hurt me.
- You should continue filming!
- Oh, I didnt know!
- Now I got another one!
- Oh, no!
- That was really bad.
- Try it again.
Lets go.
Lets move.
Take one.
Eddie.
All those things that I said...
I was right there.
- Seven, take three.
God bless, Eddie.
Action!
Cut!
Cut.
Take one.
You... Now, how...?
Its Giscard.
- Really? What about Snakehead?
- Snakehead is not here yet.
Is he not here?
What about Ken?
- Yeah. Ken is...
- Pete? Pete?
Pete is just right beside me.
Thats it. Were fine.
- Now, thats...
- Somebody let Jackie in.
Heres the plan.
We have to...
Whoops.
I got it wrong.
Its this way.
Oh, sorry. Its the other way.
Oh, damn.
Oh, I missed.
Watson.
- Cut. Print.
- Phone.
- A-camera.
- Action.
Watson. So many things are going on.
- Marker.
- Come on.
- Marker.
- One more.
Watson.
Sorry. What? Its... No, you... No.
- Again.
- Sorry.
Marker!
- Cut.
- Cut!
I want ice cream.
Cut!
Cut!
Slate X67, take one coming up.
- A-marker.
- Like a woman.
Thats it. Thats it. Okay.
Its just down there.
Down.
Then the bottom.
Then the bottom.
- Sorry, Jackie.
- Whats this? "The bottom."
- Marker.
- Move!
Wait, wait!
Oh, shit.
Nicole, the boy used the meda...
Very good. Cut. Cut.
The dog barking.
Yeah, I heard it.
Go. Go away.
And action.
Interpol! Freeze!
Cut.
A-camera.
In case of emergency...
...the exits are here...
...here...
...and here.
- I slapped you.
- Again.
- Sorry. Im sorry.
- Oh, my God!
- It was meant to be fake. Sorry.
- You do on purpose.
Are you doing on purpose?
Try it again, Claire.
A little harder.
It drives me crazy.
