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.
You've 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?
It's nobody you know, okay?
It's 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 he's got company. - Copy that.
Hold your position.
Pai Gow.
It's our guy.
All right, men.
- And Snakehead? - Snakehead was not confirmed.
We should wait.
My intelligence says he's here...
and Giscard is his number one. We're going in.
I did not agree to this.
- We are supposed to be partners. - This is an Interpol operation.
The Hong Kong Police Department's...
involvement is strictly a babysitting service.
You don't like it, take it up with your boss.
It's true.
Tell him we found it and we're in.
Full force, men.
Razor-sharp and all that.
What are you doing?
That's a temple. It's a holy place.
You cannot take guns in there.
Oh, right. Well, don't worry, Eddie, because you see these guns?
They're 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.
What's 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.
It's the cops!
We've gotta go now!
I need more time.
- We haven't finished yet. - It's 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?
He's a smuggler, Eddie. I don't know.
Perhaps he's found a buyer for black-market Buddhas. The point is...
you let him get away.
Watson.
I also saw his face.
Interpol's all over me, and I can't 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. Don't hurt him.
Careful. Be careful.
Inspector, what's going on?
Snakehead's men.
Yes. Hello.
It's the boy.
Good morning, sir.
Show me the boy.
Oh. Of course.
That's 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!
Let's go!
Quickly! Go! Go!
Are you ready?
I'll 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 couldn't be two of you.
Nice.
You clean up well.
Thank you.
Come on.
It's been a long time.
Three months.
I was assigned overseas and...
Oh, yeah.
You were gonna call me.
- I didn't know you'd 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.
I'm sorry.
That's worth something.
Not a lot, but something.
Commander?
Inspector Yang is here to see you.
Yes.
I'm Hammerstock-Smythe. Delighted to meet you, inspector.
Likewise, commander.
Commander, I was just...
What the bloody hell is he doing here?
Hello, Watson.
You're 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?
- Who's he? - One moment.
Yes, I recognize him.
This is Lester Wong.
Snakehead's number two man.
That's privileged information, eyes-only, need-to-know and all that.
- I need to find him, Watson. - Yes, well, I'm sorry, my friend...
but that's classified.
We've received a tip-off...
that Snakehead does have a new shipment arriving tomorrow in Ireland.
- Maybe the boy will come with it. - Where?
We don't 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? You've only been here five minutes.
Watson!
You are in my filing cabinet.
Yes.
I was just getting these.
I think we're 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.
- Let's put Hong Kong behind us. - I'm 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 wasn't for me anymore.
I thought you understood.
Oh, I understand.
I understand that you didn't like me always being on top.
Okay, you can be on top. Whatever you want.
Let's 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, we're not.
I'm a man!
Yes. No, there's nothing wrong when two people love...
one another.
It's a good thing. I...
That's your fault, that is.
Now, I'm gonna go home and cook dinner for my wife!
So on a scale of one to ten...
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.
He's stubborn, but if we can catch him off guard...
maybe loosen him up, I think we can work it out.
I'll just be myself.
One more thing.
Watson's family...
they don't know that he's an Interpol agent.
- What do they think he is? - A librarian.
- A librarian? - Yes.
Hi.
- Nice apron. - Thanks.
Look, you can't 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 didn't tell me we were having guests.
- Please, welcome. - Didn't know myself.
- We're librarians. - Librarian?
Charlotte, this is Eddie Yang from Hong Kong.
Are you staying for dinner?
- Yes. - No. Absolutely not.
Thank you.
See what you've done to my chops?
What's that called?
Now?
Lamb a 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, I'm looking for that book myself, so...
Maybe we could find it together.
But I'm 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 can't he just pick me up?
It's Watson.
Privileged information, eyes-only, need-to-know and all that. So...
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, what's going on?
Now, mind yourself.
Come on.
Wait a minute.
What are you doing? I haven't even done any...
Say it!
Talk! Where's the boy?
Let me out of here or I'll 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?
He's coming on a boat. I don't know what time. A freighter.
- He'll 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?
What's the matter? You sound like an obscene phone call.
You're out of shape.
You should keep fit.
Right, but let's not waste any more time, shall we?
Pier 5. Well, that must be the ship, if Giscard's telling the truth.
Let's hope so. It's all we've 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, I'm head librarian, all right?
- All right? - Yes.
Right.
Here's the plan.
I'll circle around to the left. You circle ar...
You circle arou...
And I'll just bloody talk to myself.
Then you go straight through. Go around.
Welcome, Chosen One.
Excuse me.
You're under arrest.
Come on! He went this way!
Have you seen him?
There.
Watson, come on!
Where's the boy?
- We couldn't 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?
I'm trapped inside the container with the boy.
Stay right where you are. I'm on my way.
What color is it?
I don't know.
Watson.
- Eddie's in a container. - Which one?
I have absolutely no idea.
There! There!
It's Eddie.
Eddie.
Eddie, it's Nicole. Just hang on.
Watson, get over here. I need your help!
Nicole!
Oh, my God!
Don't be afraid.
I'm not afraid.
We'll be all right.
We got control of the container. We believe that there's bodies inside.
I need an oxygen tank and a stretcher. Now!
Eddie, please don't leave me, Eddie.
Eddie, come back to me. Eddie, please.
- You all right? - Please.
Eddie, come back.
Nicole...
He's gone.
Come on.
God bless, Eddie.
God bless.
Nicole.
- We've got work to do. - You sure?
I'm sure.
Let's go.
I'm sorry...
I wasn't there when you needed me most, my friend.
That was nice.
Thank you. I...
- What's wrong? - Who are you?
What's the matter?
Who are you? What...?
What are we doing here? Where's my clothes?
Watson.
- Watson! - Get away from me!
It must be fake.
Well, it certainly looks like you.
My nose isn't that big.
It's really me.
Are you sure?
Don't you think I recognize my own thing?
It's cold in here. Let me take a look.
- What's happening to me? - All right.
Let's just...
stay calm.
I'm sure there's 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.
What's this?
Where did you go?
Excuse me, nurse.
We're from Interpol.
Would you mind if we have a few moments with the boy?
You know, the man outside says you're 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 don't 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.
He's mine. I've got him.
Let's go.
Jai!
- Clear all exits. - Right, sir.
Watson, are you there?
I'm not here.
What happened?
Snakehead's men. They were here for the boy.
- I'm 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 wasn't the only one with a black belt.
So you're all right?
Perfect.
- Great. - Okay. I'll see you back at the...
Yeah. I'm 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.
Snakehead's 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 can't do that.
It's okay, I don't 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 can't do this. This is ridiculous.
- The queen hits harder than that. - How...
How dare you.
Oh, my God. Are you all right?
Oh, God. I'm 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. - I'll show you.
You know how many forms I have to fill out if I discharge my weapon? Absolutely not.
- This is how accidents happen. - Look.
Amazing.
No blood.
Amazing.
Incredible.
- See? - I mean, still...
That's incredible. I mean, just...
- Stop that. - I'm sorry.
That was below the belt. I'm sorry.
That's what I mean.
Can one of you explain this latest failure?
Why you couldn't retrieve one small boy?
Sir...
this might sound crazy...
but I emptied a whole clip into that Chinese cop and he still wouldn't die.
What Chinese cop?
That's Eddie Yang.
He's supposed to have died yesterday, drowned in that container.
Then it's true.
Professor. Doctor. Doctor.
Thank you for being here.
We've 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...
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 are holding 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, I'll cover the front door, call in for backup.
You go to the rear to Nicole's 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 don't like... You're 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 didn't really have any choice.
- Why? - Because I can't cook anything else.
I just can't believe that he's really gone.
He's not gone.
Jai...
Do you not understand that Eddie's not coming back?
I pulled him back.
Okay...
Jai, Eddie's...
He...
Just hold on.
See?
Oh, my God.
Eddie?
Eddie.
Jai!
No!
Eddie!
You see? I told you he wasn't 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 isn't...
Kill him.
And then who would bring you back, Chosen One?
Pitiful mortal.
So...
I have no further use for you, Chosen One.
You're not immortal.
What?
To become immortal, you need both halves of the medallion.
Where's the other half?
Tell me!
- Nicole. - Eddie.
It's me. I'm fine, really.
I just...
I still don't understand, Eddie, because I was there...
- and I saw you, and... - Nicole, it's me.
You see, it's 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.
That's 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.
We're all glad that Eddie's amongst the living...
but we still haven't found Snakehead's helicopter.
Get online. Find anything that was in the air in the last hour.
I don't care if it was a bird, a plane or bloody Superman.
No offense, old chap.
Eddie.
If he needs the other half, he's gonna come looking for you.
If he is looking for me...
he'll be looking for my partner.
Me?
My family.
Cool.
See, that's not normal. I mean, that's not natural. What...?
Eddie, take my bike!
Thank God.
They're all right.
Charlotte?
Charlotte? I have something I have to tell you.
Yes, dear?
Eddie...
Watson! They're here!
Go!
Charlotte, where are you going?
This is no time for cleaning.
Take your shield!
Watson!
- Are you all right, love? - Yes, I'm fine, dear.
Catch!
Here. I'll lead them away.
Your wife?
What the...?
There you are. Quick. Quick. That's a good boy.
Now, listen. Guns are very dangerous things, all right? Right.
How dare you shoot...
at my...
wife!
My Lord.
Where'd he go?
We meet again...
Eddie Yang.
Where's the boy?
My guest is no concern of yours.
All that matters is that you have the other half of the medallion.
Don't run, Eddie!
You can't hide from me!
The medallion is mine!
You think it's a game?
Well, let's play!
We're the same, you and I.
What a pity. What a waste.
You don't know what powers you have.
Destiny calls.
He's sleeping. At least, I think that's what he's doing.
He doesn't even look like he's breathing.
The boy!
Oh, God, I wish you wouldn't do that.
Eddie, you're all right.
The boy's in danger.
He's going to kill him. Right?!
Snakehead has taken the boy to Raven's 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 just take the bike. I'll guide you from the air.
I'm driving.
That's Raven's Keep.
It's five miles away.
You should wash your hands.
Come on.
Nicole.
Be careful.
You too.
- What the hell are you doing here? - Where's the boy?
- Let's 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! Free...
Jai, thank God.
You're in danger.
It's over.
You're safe now.
I don't think so.
No, it's all right.
Run!
For your lives.
It's not nice to take things that don't belong to you.
Fetch.
My brother...
Don't be sentimental.
It's so unnecessary.
It's 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?
It's your turn.
What's that for?
That, Eddie Yang, is for not catching me.
And that, Eddie Yang, is for not catching me.
Interpol! Freeze!
Isn't that lovely?
Of course...
When he came back, he was naked.
I mean, completely starkers. Not a stitch.
I'm not complaining, mind you.
Listen, I have this cough.
I think it's quite serious. Honestly, I could snuff at any point.
I don't suppose you'd consider a rub on your medallion?
I really am. Hello?
It's very bad...
Very bad. You...
Please, the med... One quick rub.
That's 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 can't leave me here.
Goodbye!
Okay, that wasn't scary at all.
He walked through a vortex to the next universe.
I'm going this way.
- Quiet on the set. Are cameras ready? - Cameras are ready.
Jackie, Claire, and action.
I'm sorry.
Can you overlap that line for me?
Eddie Yang. I knew there couldn't 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! - I'm so sorry.
- I am so sorry. I'm so sorry. - I can't believe it.
- Oh, no! - Claire.
Jackie, I'm so sorry. That rea... That hurt me.
- You should continue filming! - Oh, I didn't know!
- Now I got another one! - Oh, no!
- That was really bad. - Try it again.
Let's go.
Let's 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...?
It's 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.
That's it. We're fine.
- Now, that's... - Somebody let Jackie in.
Here's the plan.
We have to...
I got it wrong.
It's this way.
Oh, sorry. It's 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? It's... No, you... No.
- Again. - Sorry.
Marker!
- Cut. - Cut!
I want ice cream.
Cut!
Slate X67, take one coming up.
- A-marker. - Like a woman.
That's it. That's it. Okay.
It's just down there.
Down.
Then the bottom.
- Sorry, Jackie. - What's 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. I'm 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.
