Get down on your knees!
Listen carefully.
Jackie and Alan were close friends, but later clashed because of Laura.
Jackie left the band to start his career as a high society Robin Hood,
calling himself Asian Hawk.
What has this to do with the last 3 pieces of The Armour of God?
A holy sword recently put up for auction
was stolen by him from an African tribe.
If he can get the sword he can get the remaining 2 pieces.
Let's hire him to get the other pieces then.
Idiot, let him continue.
We can hire him to do that, but we don't have to pay him.
What do you mean?
Laura is now a famous fashion designer.
She's going to a fashion show in Paris.
She's Alan's girlfriend but Jackie still cares for her.
Get Laura for me.
Now the "star" of today's auction appears.
This is the famous holy sword.
The starting bid is $30,000 increasing in units of $5,000.
I now declare the auction open.
- $35,000. - $40,000 - $45,000.
- Any bid higher than $45,000? - $50,000.
- $55,000. - $60,000.
$65,000.
Any bid higher than $65,000?
It seems we're still warming up.
Any bid higher than $65,000?
$70,000.
Any bid higher than $70,000?
$75,000, $75,000.
$100,000.
The lady offers $100,000.
Any bid higher than $100,000?
Anyone offering higher than $100,000? The bid has now reached $100,000.
$105,000.
I bid $150,000.
The lady bids as much as $150,000. Any bid higher than $150,000?
$150,000 is close to the true value of this holy sword.
Any bid higher than $150,000?
Any bid?
I offer $300,000.
What an exciting bid! The gentleman seems determined to win it.
$300,000 is undeniably a very attractive bid.
Let's see if anyone wants to raise the bid.
Any bid higher than $300,000?
$300,000, going once.
$300,000, going twice.
I offer $400,000.
$400,000!
I proudly announce the conclusion of the bid at $400,000.
You did well to have won.
You did better to have got such a good price.
Yes.
What a beautiful car.
- Let me give you a lift. - OK.
Stop.
What is it?
The car's great, but the wind's too strong.
I'd rather take my own car.
I can drive more slowly.
Go!
Thank you.
Room 206, please.
Mr. Chen, some messages for you.
Thank you.
So many.
Please, call back. It's urgent.
Help! Please, call my cellular phone.
I'm booking a flight.
I'm trying to get a seat. Wait for me.
I'm flying to your side to seek help.
I'm waiting at the airport. Don't go away.
Where on earth have you been? I'm waiting in the lobby. It's urgent.
Come at once. Only you can help me.
Jackie.
Laura's been kidnapped? How much do they want?
If money could fix it, I wouldn't need you.
If money can't fix it, I'm not needed either.
I'm not a volunteer.
They want the Armour of God as ransom.
The Armour of God?
You said it's worth a lot of money.
I've just sold the holy sword.
Buy it back for me at once.
The Armour of God consists of five pieces
but I only know the whereabouts of three.
Where?
Two were sold to a Count. The last was sold to a lady.
You can get it back then.
Why should I help you?
What a silly question. Don't you care for Laura?
Don't take advantage of my feelings.
What about the feelings between us?
What feelings between us?
What? We grew up together.
We formed a band together and chased the same girl.
We were like brothers.
Don't you remember? You always bullied me.
You said my voice was bad.
When I dated Laura, you stole my pants.
Have you no shame?
So you still hate me because you lost Laura.
I didn't lose her, but I don't want this to affect our friendship.
So, you do think there's friendship between us.
There was, but not now.
So you suffered greatly because of her.
I shouldn't have come to you.
I'll try some other way to rescue her. I just hope she's still alive.
Have you finished the American ginseng I gave you?
- Yes, two years ago. - I like the stamps you sent me.
I came in such a rush, I didn't bring anything much.
Just some preserved bean curd that you like.
It's hot.
Just forget that I came.
- I know I'm stubborn. - You're not.
I am stubborn.
OK, you are stubborn. Let's not argue any more.
- How do you plan to rescue Laura? - I'm not sure I want to.
Why?
You may not know it, but what I value most is our friendship.
I don't want to lose you because of Laura.
Goodbye.
Hold it!
How can we contact Laura's kidnappers?
They've given me a map.
They want me to bring the three pieces of the Armour of God
to a small town where we exchange for Laura.
Let's try to borrow the two from the Count
then get in touch with the lady buyer of the sword.
Do you know what it says?
I think...
You don't know then.
Is there a bell?
The house is over there.
Stop.
Calm down.
What now?
What? I'm scared.
Excuse me. Please, follow me.
Now I know what that sign says.
Even a moron knows now.
The owner of this house must hate deer.
Deer hunting is a European pastime.
Don't be afraid. He's leashed. Please come with me.
So you need these pieces to avert a world disaster?
It's not that serious.
The fact is we need them as ransom for my girlfriend
or they'll kill her. Isn't that serious enough?
To me, every life is equally as important...
or unimportant.
If I lend you these to save her life, I'd have to donate all my property
to save the countless starving in Africa.
I'll return them to you once we've saved her.
Can you guarantee that?
Yes, I will.
But I have no reason to trust you.
I'll pay you for them.
Why would I be interested in your money?
Let's not get discouraged.
Would you care to see my antiques?
I'm not interested in antiques.
I do have an interest in them.
So we're two of a kind.
Please follow me.
This is amazing!
This looks more like a small museum.
In fact, museums all over the world borrow my collections for exhibition.
Security must be tight here.
I keep fifty dogs and three leopards.
They keep away intruders.
Why should I need guards?
Show me your two pieces of the Armour of God.
They're over there.
You can't leave valuables lying around like that!
To me, they are a memento from history.
But not everyone shares my opinion.
What's the origin of these?
Are they linked to my girlfriend's abduction?
Sit down...
They say that before Christ...
evil was rampant.
The true God that stands for justice
waged a holy war against these forces.
Finally the true God won of course.
The weaponry they used is called the Armour of God.
Recently evil cults have staged a comeback.
They believe that by destroying the Armour of God
the religion of the true God will perish
and they'll prosper and rule the world.
That really defies logic.
Religion exists only when there is faith.
When it brings peace, happiness and well-being
it's the force of righteousness.
Who kidnapped my girlfriend?
Sorry, I can't answer that.
It's getting late.
Hawk, I didn't expect your visit.
I have a party to attend.
Stay for a few days and let me entertain you.
No need...
It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen. We'd love to stay.
Splendid, it's settled then. Tell my butler if you need anything.
Take good care of my two guests tonight.
Just make yourselves at home.
Please, follow me.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
We've only just finished supper.
Why have you ordered so much steak?
It's for the dogs and leopards.
What do you mean?
Hawks always take, without asking the owner's consent.
What? You expect me to steal?
As he said, it's not guarded.
We're his guests.
He told us to make ourselves at home.
So you steal from your own home?
- Do you want to see Laura killed? - Of course not.
You want her to be killed by others because you can't win her love.
You really are crafty.
What? I'm saying don't steal. Not that I won't help you.
When are you going to do something?
We're living like kings. Have you spared a thought for Laura?
Don't think I feel any better. But stealing won't work.
Isn't it worth trying?
You're more stupid than you look. You think you can just take it?
I'm ready to borrow the Armour of God from the Count whatever he demands.
Why don't we steal it and return it later? Isn't that more clean-cut?
I already said no, I won't help, and I won't let you steal it either!
OK, I give up. I never really knew you until now!
Good night!
The Count wants to see you, sir.
Please.
Quiet.
- Are you all right? - I was nearly the dog's dinner.
Don't worry.
They won't attack without orders from me or my daughter.
Do something.
Hurry up. Out!
So it's you.
This is my daughter, May.
We met at the auction.
So you know each other. That's better.
I found this.
- Is this the one you talked about? - It is.
This is the man who got someone to compete to buy back his own sword?
I didn't know she was your daughter or I wouldn't have done it.
So you were up to no good.
And Daddy treated you as guests.
He did that only to save his girlfriend.
I swear I will return them to you intact after rescuing my girlfriend.
- What's that? - It's not an ice-cream van.
- Show the police in. - Yes, sir.
I'd like to let it go, but the police...
You've captured me. Do anything you like!
Have you got the right to speak?
No, but you have.
In what way can you help me?
Go on, be nice to him.
Do you want the Armour of God?
- Go and take care of the police. - Yes, sir.
The Armour of God has five pieces. The kidnappers only asked for three.
- So they've got the other two. - You're smart.
That coincides with my information.
If you lend me your pieces, I'll guarantee their return
and I'll get the other pieces to make one complete set of Armour.
It's a deal.
But I have one condition.
I go with you.
No problem.
Can't two men take care of a woman?
OK. You must guarantee she returns safe and sound.
I'll only guarantee her safe return not her sound return.
We'll see about the rest.
Splendid.
What is that?
You wouldn't like it.
Let my try.
Help yourself.
There's no point in worrying.
You won't see the kidnappers until tomorrow.
I'll go with you.
Why are you staring at me like that? You think women are good for nothing.
I was runner-up in last year's European Women's shooting.
You'll be safe with me.
Only two women took part in that contest.
What is this?
Chinese butter.
It tastes funny.
It turns into cheese when you keep it.
- Jackie, this stuff is rotten. - I know.
- Why are you eating it then? - I'm eating butter.
Did they give you any special sign?
No, they only told me to come to the town with the armour in a black bag.
They told me to come alone.
I can't accompany you then.
I'll keep an eye out for any suspects.
Let me jockey for a position.
You look OK.
She is very attractive.
You'd risk Laura's death with a fake.
We risk getting robbed with the real one.
Don't hand it over until we know Laura's safe. Let's go.
Go alone. I'll keep watch.
- No looking at the ladies, now. - I won't.
Miss, our religion has many advantages.
I'll consider it.
- Do you believe in a Creator? - What? I have no religious faith.
Believe and this person shall be saved.
Laura.
Next time remember to pay the balance.
OK.
The Armour of God?
Right here.
But I want to know she's safe.
It's a fake.
My friend's got it, but only if...
Don't try anything!
Come over here.
Jackie, stop fighting. Come here. Safety zone.
Keep away, it's dangerous.
Dangerous? Come here. Get him, get him.
She's a nuisance.
Let's go.
- Let's go. - No, we must interrogate them.
Go ahead...
Here are those two Chinese.
Let's go.
- You haven't interrogated them. - Go ahead.
I said bring the genuine one. Now what will happen to Laura?
Stop talking. It won't help her.
I can't even talk, now!
How are we going to find Laura?
Someone's coming to tell us.
Look out!
Move it!
Look up there.
Sit still.
They're getting close. Do something.
- What's that? - Hold on.
Bump him...
They're coming.
Great, we got away from them.
- What are they doing? - Trying to hit us.
What now?
Hold tight.
Tight?
What are you doing?
This car's crowded.
It was designed for me alone.
Goodbye!
Please, sit down.
Three beers.
OK, right away.
What? You asked us here for beers?
Next time ask what we want first. Not everyone likes beer.
I ordered all three for myself only.
900 dinars for three beers.
- Keep the change. - Thank you.
Keep the change. I'd like to ask some questions.
My answers are very expensive.
How much?
US$100 for each question.
Normally I ask questions everywhere I go.
I ask this and that.
I answer all questions.
I saw some robed people in the square.
Who are they?
The disciples of a nearby missionary.
- Where can I find them? - On the hill.
That's no way to spend money.
What are their other activities?
They come down on the first of every month for supplies
and take girls with them.
What sort of girls?
Don't answer that. Let's go.
- Do you know what they are? - Prostitutes, of course.
We must spend $100 more.
Tell us the route to go up.
Sorry, I don't know.
Thank you.
- We'll come again next month. - Thank you. Bye-bye.
Hurry up.
Drop it.
- Why are you here? - I'm a prostitute.
This is dangerous. What will you do after getting there?
Don't worry. At worst I'll die.
No need to die. I'll show you how to be a whore.
It's nice to see you. Come down.
Come down...Come down...
- Be careful. - Thank you.
Be careful.
This way, please.
Go up.
May God bless you.
According to our latest report over 3000 new disciples joined last month.
Come in...
Tell them come in. This time we're getting more.
Yes.
It means more believe in our religion.
Well done...
What about the harvest?
The poppies produced 3,600kg of opium.
It can be delivered soon.
I'm tired.
This long flight of stairs is killing me.
Get going. No more nonsense.
Hurry up.
We've also made 2,500kg of morphine,
700kg of heroine
and 300kg of cocaine.
Apart from reserving some for our own use it's all exported for fund-raising
or for preaching purposes.
The new tranquilliser we've had under research has been successfully made.
Chief, Asian Hawk and Alan are here.
The agents of many countries are interested in it.
- We must mass-produce it. - Take care of this.
When the plant at hillside starts production
we can cope with our needs...
Friend, could you cut short your report?
My report's over.
Brothers, after 30 days hard work, today is festival once again.
The Goddesses are now here.
We should thank our true God.
Supreme Creator.
Thank you for bringing us to this world
for creating the sun, moon and stars to shine on our life.
Thank you for creating animals, plants, everything
to keep us safe from starvation...
health and for creating sickness.
We also thank you for creating the two sexes
to enable us to have pleasure.
Thank you, Lord for your grace.
The happy hour begins.
Quiet!
Enjoy yourselves.
May has been captured.
Never mind. Let's go.
- We must act gracefully. - Right.
Let her try being a whore.
Cut that out.
Do you know where Laura is?
Don't keep thinking of her.
You never cared for May. Now...
It's all right. She's now...
It's her own doing.
Women are a nuisance.
You're a nuisance.
- What are you doing? - I'll exorcise your spirits.
Spirits? I've no spirits.
Now tell the Llama.
The Asian Hawk is here.
Let them do anything they please. Don't stop them. Understand?
How long will it last?
Three days.
During this time she'll be totally in my power.
Good.
Pledge upon death allegiance to the Chief.
I pledge upon death...
You must go with Alan to get the 3 pieces of the Armour of God.
I must get...
Inject the Asian Hawk to make him loyal to us.
Let's drink to our meeting.
Don't drink too much, it's very strong.
Are you afraid of getting drunk?
I'm not afraid of strong wine.
Great, isn't it? Don't waste any time.
What are you doing? I've already paid.
I want to talk.
There's nothing to talk about.
You're the most beautiful little whore.
- What are you up to? - I want to give you more wine.
- Who are you? - I'm a prostitute.
- No, you're a well-bred girl. - I'm not, I'm a whore.
What are you trying to do? Who on earth are you?
I'm really a whore, believe me.
What is it?
The Chief says this girl is a spy. Never mind.
- You promised to bring me wine. - OK, I will.
What now?
- Ask someone the way. - What?
- Ask him. - Who?
Buddha be praised.
That was easy.
He's following us. Keep calm.
Don't laugh.
Where's the Chinese girl?
- Who? - The Chinese girl.
Downstairs, in a guarded room.
- What are you doing here? - Your job?
I'm in charge of storerooms, the garbage rooms, kennels and the dungeon.
Let's talk in bed.
Get up, don't sleep. I can't get away if you're in bed.
Get up.
You're drunk as a Lord.
I can only cope with two.
And the other one? You want me to persuade him?
My hand still hurts.
It's up to you.
Pick up your robe.
This is for you.
Violence? I sang in a Peace Concert.
Violence is disgusting.
It's up to you. I'll fix these two.
Don't talk about this when you return to Hong Kong.
Close the door.
Only a nut would rely on you.
I didn't ask you to come for nothing.
She hit me.
I didn't know it was you.
They... Everything OK?
- What do you want to know? - I wish everything was OK.
See if there's a key.
Would a nobody have the keys?
Right you are.
Girls are great sometimes.
Help tie them up.
Laura...
I had so much trouble finding you, Laura.
Laura, it's Jackie.
Are you all right? You're scaring me.
I'm scared.
Don't worry. I'll get you out of here.
Maybe she's in shock.
Let's talk after we get out.
Get her out of here at once.
Hurry up.
Bye...
See you next time.
Thank you.
The earliest flight's tomorrow.
Let's spend the night here.
OK.
Anyway, Laura's unfit to travel.
She'll be all right tomorrow.
Make yourselves at home.
We still have to keep our promise to your daddy.
What?
- What? - Never mind. Go to bed early.
I'll see what I can do.
- Good night. - Good night.
I'll go up with them.
I'm really grateful.
It's nothing much.
It's been unexpectedly easy.
Of course, with me here. I am a lucky charm.
- Good night. - Good night.
Good night.
Let's go.
I'll take them to Frankfurt airport for a flight to Hong Kong
before coming back.
Is that necessary?
I like to keep my promises but more than that, I want to do it.
Want to play whore again?
Sorry. Good night.
You want to see the Armour of God now?
How about seeing it tomorrow?
I really want to see it.
OK...
I'll show it to you.
What are you doing?
- You act as if Laura were kidnapped again. - It's nothing.
Why do you need me then?
Can't I just pay you a visit?
Go and see Laura then.
She won't do anything.
So you come to see me? What do you want?
Sorry, I don't know how to put it.
What is it?
Did you notice anything wrong with Laura?
It's natural after a long confinement.
She looks funny to me.
She's no longer as young as she was.
She wants to see the Armour of God now. Isn't that a bit fishy?
Fishy yourself. She's always been curious.
And she was kidnapped for it. Let her see it.
Borrow it from May then.
She just slapped me in the face.
Slapped you in the face?
Why? Tell me about it.
Are you sure you want to borrow it? Come on, but you ask her.
Knock at the door.
No answer. She must be taking a bath or changing.
Just see for yourself.
May.
- She's not in. - Wait till she comes back.
Laura's waiting. I'll show her and put it back.
Hurry up.
Jackie, why are you at my door?
I...
You standing at my door when I'm not here. What are you doing?
Trying to take the Armour of God?
No.
Get out at once.
I hate intruders or those who do not respect others' privacy.
Listen.
I'd like to apologise.
I know I was wrong.
You do?
I don't.
- What? - I know I should watch my language.
- And? - And?
What else is there?
Why didn't you kiss me?
I wanted to, but...
What is it?
I've something to show you.
Something to show me?
But I can't show you here.
Where then?
Come to my room. Come, I'll follow you. Go now.
Why show me in your room?
I'll tell you there.
I thought you had something to show me.
Show you?
I'll show you some children's photos.
Laura.
Is that what you wanted me to see?
May, listen to me.
- What are you doing here? - Waiting for you.
I wanted to see you.
What for?
Don't you know I missed you?
Don't, Laura, don't!
Don't let Alan see.
Don't mention him.
Laura, don't.
Wait a minute.
Jackie.
- Has Laura been here? - No.
- Isn't she in the room? - No.
- Anybody in? - No.
No?
What a liar.
Who is it?
May.
Don't be shy.
I didn't want to embarrass her.
Let's go out and let her stay.
OK.
I'll be back right away.
When did that start?
Just now.
Frankly, that slap was good for you.
Good?
- Your bathroom? - My bathroom opens onto hers.
Pretend you know nothing when she comes out.
You've been to his room, you've seen it.
- I didn't see anything. - Stop acting.
I don't have to see it to know.
- You don't mind then? - No, times are different now.
This brings us closer.
So you're more than friends, you share everything.
- Right, we're better than friends. - Right!
Friends.
You're worse than beasts.
You're accusing me again?
She seems to have suffered a big shock.
I didn't do anything.
I'll give her a piece of my mind.
No need. See if Laura's in.
- I have a way with girls. - Go ahead.
May's a good girl.
- I know. - She's good for you.
Go now...
Go.
You again?
I'm arranging for a couple to make love.
- What? - Not you.
Why are you packing?
I don't want to see you anymore. I'm leaving.
- What are you doing? - Helping you pack.
May...
That room is linked to this one? Nonsense.
Laura.
What is it, Jackie?
Alan and Laura have taken the Armour of God.
How come?
I must go up.
What about me?
You help me arrange something.
What's wrong with the dogs?
Let's go and see.
Calm down.
Snookums.
Don't be afraid.
It's all right. I'll help you.
- What did you call him? - Snookums.
- Only she calls me that name. - Disgusting.
What took you?
- Don't you know what you did? - I do, but we couldn't help it.
Luckily we're both all right.
I believe you too.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have called me Snookums.
Disgusting. How are we going to get out?
Laura and I escape. You try to escape by yourself.
- You have so much confidence in me? - I only promised to help Laura out -
not you.
Bravo, Snookums.
Now you've a chance to even things up.
He always accused me of taking away his love.
You're great, I can't get out.
- Go and take good care of Laura. - You don't have to tell me that.
- Let's go before it's too late. - We can't leave him behind.
Laura, forget me, an unlucky man.
Good luck to you both.
Why won't you rescue him?
I had a wish when I was a kid - to save every man like Jesus does.
When I grew up, I realised one man's strength is limited.
If he comes we won't all get away.
Right, Laura, don't be emotional.
Jackie's kung fu is limited.
If he tries to save me too then we'll all be captured.
Leave me, follow him.
Nothing would please me more than to see you both happy and free.
Go now.
Alan, you're so nice to me. I was right about you.
You go, I've decided to stay.
You don't mean what you say.
I've been wondering why I lost Laura to you.
Now I've learnt your trick.
I must rescue you, come what may.
As I said, you're the bravest man.
But girls only fall for sweet talk.
- I must thank you then. - Never. I won't help you for free.
They're demanding a ransom of $5 million.
- Give me at least half that. - Don't be so mean, it's not you.
He always acts the good guy. So I'm forced to play the bad guy.
Teasing me?
I'm not afraid.
Remember, be alert.
I know. What nonsense.
I'm all right.
This way looks better.
You go that way then.
It makes no difference.
Let's split up after this. I'll take care of the guards.
- What about you? - Me?
Forget me, an unlucky man.
Never mind him, he never changes.
He's only thinking of the Armour of God.
Don't kick off the ladder after going up.
- Why are you giving me this? - To make coffee.
- A knife? I don't like violence. - Take it to kill yourself.
Be careful, this path is dark.
Don't worry.
I'm used to it. I grew up in the country.
Mud, stones and ponds...
Come on.
Help me, Jackie...
One word and I'll stab you to death.
Quiet!
Why is he here?
- Find the other one. - Yes, sir.
Get him.
Come out.
I'm not fighting. Don't pull. Stop pulling...
Well, you've provoked me.
Brother, my pants are coming down.
No more pranks.
- Take Laura. - Keep them here.
- Go now. - Need help?
No.
Keep it up...
Jackie, watch out!
- I really must go. - Go then.
- Kuang Sheng! - Come on!
Goodbye.
- After them! - Yes, sir!
Come on.
Put out the fire.
Wait, we meet again.
Over there.
Give me that.
Fly...
Give them to me.
Get down!
There's a door behind you, go now. Don't come back.
I won't.
When I count to 3, run. Ready, 1 , 2, 3.
Go now.
A man?
Come on.
Split up.
Jackie, we're really leaving this time. Take care.
Over there, follow him.
Don't go.
There's something you don't know.
I'm no fool.
Who are you?
Get him!
- Go out and block all the exits! - Yes, sir.
Are you Asian Hawk?
Yes.
This is Europe.
To a hawk's eyes, there's no difference.
Stealing a piece of the Armour of God?
Not a piece, the set. I'll take it, if you don't object.
What gave you the nerve to come and get killed here?
I always obey my God's order.
He provides board and lodging for me.
I never say no to him.
What's the name of your religion?
What's the name of your God?
I believe in a powerful religion.
The name of my God is Money.
Now sacrifice yourself for money.
You'll die for sure.
I'm being easy on them because they are girls.
So a money-worshipper has heart.
These girls have no feelings.
They only know that if someone is against us,
they will kill them.
Risking my life for myself is better than you brainwashing the masses.
You cause so much fighting and killing. What for?
You bring misfortune to the world.
I'll take these, if no one objects.
No one objects? If we each give you a punch, you'll be finished.
You can't scare me.
- Tear him in two and offer him up. - Yes.
He's bluffing.
Try me.
- Get him. - Yes, sir.
I knew you were bluffing.
This time I'll give you a chance. Next time I'll let it blow up.
At worst we'll perish together.
We're ready to sacrifice for the true God. Right?
Yes.
Let me see how great you are.
Why make unnecessary sacrifices?
I'm only taking a few things.
Yellow smoke, over there.
- Fly over at once. - Help me.
Fly closer.
Coming.
Jackie, how are you doing?
- Are you all right? - I'm fine. Keep up the speed.
Watch out!
