Sergeant Terry O'shea.

I'm finishing routine inspection
of the storage hangers

between the terminals 7
and the international carriers.

Proceeding on foot.

To customs and immigration.

Get down it's a hit!

[gunshots]

I have a disturbance on
concourses D.

Better send a squad car.



I have a 102 in progress

Sergeant O'shea responding.

Get the hell out of the way,

Answer damn you, did you
get pinned?

Shane! Say something
for God's sake

Police leave it, it's too hot.

Moving!

[ambulance sirens]

[tires screeching]

[shooting continues]



[screaming in pain]

[policeman] Jesus what
do they got, a bomb?

[Terry] Put the fire coup on it
and have it down just in case.

Open some doors
get the smoke out of here.

I want this whole area
Cordoned off.

Police, freeze!

freeze also, Police!

Drop it.

You drop it

Major agent Terry O'shea
airport police.

Major Shan Hong Kong
metropolitan police.

This is New York jurisdiction,
drop your gun.

I'm a police officer in pursuit
of criminal fugitive

If you excuse me, I'm just gonna
be a bystander.

You're under arrest.

You arrest me
you got big trouble.

International long forcement
treaty section four paragraph 6.

Paragraph 6. She's right,
you can't arrest her.

And just who asked you?

Look it up in your handbook.

She's out of your jurisdiction,
so she passes

through passport control

So make a detention.

For questioning.

No worries, it's just a routine.

This way please sir.

We need some assistance here.

Tell the captain Scibillia
that we have a

Foreign national police officer,
giving us a hard time.

And who did you say you were?

Elliot Cromwell,
counselor service

Diplomatic passport.

And there's a smart-ass
here from the State Department.

That's Asian affairs

Looks like a bullet
ripped your coat

Don't worry about,
it'll be alright

Check it out. Paramedics.

O'’SHEA: Any ID?

His name is Prescott Chang,
his passport is Hong Kong.

Hello Prescott.

I see you got yourself shot.

Good.

Prescott Chang is a piece of
shit.

Waste of valuable transfusion

Excuse me major.

Is fugitive you've
in pursuit of.

No, fugitive name is Harry Pimm.

You're chasing Harry Pimm?

Well, now that you have
everything under control.

I'll be on my way.

Real pleasure meeting you.

Ok, Chang's passport says
he's Malaysian Chinese.

Hong Kong is a port city,
a little bit of everything.

Is that where are you from?
Hong Kong?

My people are from
Gobi Desert.

Thoroughbred Mongolians.

So that's what you are huh?
A Mongolian cop

[button clic]

Scrambling code 1R9Asia,
this is Elliot Cromwell.

This is the State Department
1R9Asia, go ahead Cromwell

I'm at JFK airport,

The place is literally crawling
with oriental hitmen.

Hang on Cromwell.

I'’m going to patch in to
Interpol Global.

Finch, London Interpol

Commission Duclos,
préfecture de Paris

Inspettore della polizia di
Roma, pronto

Colonel Cho, Mainland china

Gentlemen, this is Elliot
Cromwell, State Department

Current assignment,
special agent

US Interpol operation,

Go ahead Cromwell.

There's just been a bloodbath
at the JFK customs.

It looks like an internal
faction of the black lion

trying to take one of their own,
A courier named Harry Pimm.

Harry Pimm? He's not dead is he?

No sir, he got away.

You know that he is in the top
of the crisis list

Prima priorità

Priority one?

Harry is a carry away, why is he
so important all of a sudden?

He's not, he's a slippery little
nobody.

But it's the only man who knows
the name and identity

of the boss of Black Lion.

The man they call the Funder.

Why don't we just shut down
Black Lion?

Well, you can't just shut
down an international

crime organization
like Black lion.

Well, in that case, I suggest

you get someone to find
Harry Pimm for you.

That someone is you.

What are you talking about?

I'm supposed to be watching
for the army's money

Besides I have a dozen hitmen
out there with weapons

I'm here on my own.

It's never easy is it?

In that case I'll need backup

Ok Major Hot pursuit, if you're
chasing fugitive.

let's see your warrant.

No warrant, no passport!

[speaking in a foreign language]

No shit!

Sergeant,
here's your smoke bomb,

it's some sort of
a kid's firework.

Let me see that.

Ok, no more fooling around,

already wasting time while
a fugitive escaped.

This looks like some
kind of emblem.

Corporate symbol here,
isn't it? Like a dragon.

Not a dragon, black Lion.

Like Black Lion?

Believe me I know
this organization

I'll need all the help I can get
to bring Pimm here alive.

Now this is Global
Interpol right?

So send me some international
cops.

There's no time.

What do you mean? You
already have a police

officer here from Hong
Kong chasing Pimm.

Ehhhh, Major Shan
and there's an American,

Sergeant O'shea

Piece of shit got away.

Goodbye Major Shan.

Where do you think she'd go?

[Cromwell] How did you know
to look for uncle Joe's gym?

I know Eddie Wing in Hong Kong

put him in jail,
two, three times

talk about uncle Joe
in Harlem, NYC.

Well, what is Eddie Wang'’s
part in all of this?

He and Jingmao are message
boys for Black Lion

Message boys?

Uh huh, they come for you,
you get the message.

[imitating gunshot]

This is the lower east side,
I mean this is no man's land.

[Cromwell] Come on

This place is all the ambiance
of death row

Rather sophisticated
security system for a warehouse.

[suspense music]

Get a load of all this thermite.

HG Owen C2

It'’s made of mercury.

C3H3NO3 that is Nitroglycerin

This is not a healthy place
to be.

[Cromwell] Looks
they were getting

ready for the chinese New Year

[Terry]
Prescott Chang, didn't get far.

Brothers took care of him.

There's three bullets entries,
dead center.

Plus two from the customs.

It was not his day.

It'’s a video cassette?

Look, there, see if it'’ll play

[Cromwell]
Who knows? Might be X-rated.

[video] To Chief executive
officer Black Lion corporation.

From the Founder.
Let's this be a warning

to all personnel.

I want this internal warfare to
stop

Prescott Chang dies because of
your stupid dangerous dispute.

Dangerous because,

it calls attention to
Black Lion. Any one

of you who sends a
message boy against

a member of Black Lion
will receive a message from me.

There will be no more factions.

I won't have it.

So that's the founder.

But who is this message for?

I mean is it for lieutenants?

Chinese triads wasting each
other

Just one big unhappy family.

[dull sound]

[gunshots]

[Terry] Take them out.

Are you crazy?
This place is full of Nitro?

I crawl to edge...

I said don't shoot,
that's an order.

[man voice] You're the man.

Victor Chang, everybody is dead.

Eddie Wing.

Jingmao

You're long way from home
ShanShan

We're looking for Harry Pimm.

Harry Pimm, he don'’t like
people come looking for him.

Well we didn't come
to arrest him.

What are you here for?

[Cromwell] Information.

We want the name of the Founder.

[foreign language]

Jingmao!

One shot, take
them both out.

Is not worth the risk.

The squad car is outside
let's take them in the street.

[Cromwell] It's not them.

You know I know her
from Hong Kong

Angelica, she work for
Black Lion.

Angelica Bethencourt, she
travels with Harry.

How do you know her name?

Passport violations.

Pictures posted all over
the pacific base.

Do we take her?

No way. She's gonna bring us
right to hell

Yeah but what about
the message boys?

Forget them.

Angelica is more important,
if she's here Harry is around.

Come with me, come on.

[car door closing]

I just can't believe
Harry'’s gonna let,

Angelica leave on her own.

Afraid she might go back to
former employer.

Employer? She never
worked a day in her life?

Yes indeed.

Before Angelica found
true love and hapiness

with Harry Pimm,
she used to work

for Madame Pilou full time

[Shan]
Number one hooker in Hong Kong

A hooker huh?

Yes, and we're talking
world class here

I mean not that I'’d know
anything about it personally

Madame Pilou is what you
might call vice-president

in charge of prostitution,
white slavery.

Rent a boy.

[Terry] How many divisions
of this Black Lion have?

Rent a boy?!

Hundreds! They've
gotta be the fastet

growing conglomerate'’s
of the big board.

Rent a boy?

No sign of Harry.

Believe me, Angelica is still
our best bet to find him

But Harry is a clever little
rat.

Maybe he need Jingmao and
Eddie Wing for decoy

Come here to the airport early
and take flight out of country.

I'm telling you she's gonna
meet him somewhere.

Or she's gonna lead us away
from him.

No way, I told you
their two hearts beat as one.

Barnes, Kelly come here.

We need to borrow
your belt radios.

Tell Kaufman to issue your
replacements.

Keep an eye on the squad car.

Ok, let's go.

We'll be with you in one moment.

Got it, she's booked first class

to London, the next flight out.

[Intercom] Flight 201 to
London, now boarding at gate 3

That's it, meet me at the gate.

Please help this gentleman,
thank you.

[man at the gate]
your boarding pass please.

So? let's get going.

Get going where?

We're going to follow her

This plane is going to London.

And so are we.

Now? London? I've never been
out of the country.

Today'’s your lucky day.

This pass will get us all
on board, courtesy of Interpol.

I can't, I don't have
anything packed,

I left my cap in the station and
I have a cat.

Look, Sergeant,
you're been assigned to me.

So, consider this an order:
you're going to London.

Well, you're the CO.

You got that right.

Hello, operations,
this is Sergeant O'shea.

In case anyone asks,
I just went to London.

And tell Kaufmann
to feed my cat.

Hot sake

Sherry

Champagne

I'll go up forward,
keep an eye on Angelica.

Well Sergeant, here we are,
off to London.

Slicker and slicker, you sure
have everything under control.

Things do do look rather
promising don'’t they.

So do you have a nice hotel
picked out for us in London?

I'm working on it.

Yeah, I just bet you are.

I'm sure we'll find a
suitable accommodations.

Suitable. Suitable for who?

Why...for all three of us, of
course.

Yeah with you in the middle.

Wow, here is to my... measuring
up.

In your dreams.

Well, if you'’ll excuse me,
Angelica knows what Shan

looks like, I better make sure
she keeps out of sight.

Besides, I'm feeling a bit of
a chill here.

[Shan] Angelica is out of it.

I'll bet you 50$
she went into restroom to...

snort white powder.

Nah, she eats reds.

Up or down she still doesn't
know

what's going on.

Don't worry about it, come on.

Elliot Cromwell?

That's right, what
can I do for you?

I'm Chuck Peterson
the flight engineer.

The captain signed a clearance
on your request

to go under the cargo hold.

The tag names that you
requested would be in part 9

Thanks.

We can't go there and
just open luggage.

We don't have a search warrant.

You gotta be kidding.

It's against the law.

Over the ocean, no longer
under US jurisdiction.

And besides, they told me
Angelica is smuggling drugs.

Does she?

She pops a few red pieces
open every now and then.

Red pieces?

Yeah

Looks like cough drops
made of opium

Chinese get high, call
it chasing the dragon.

I don't wanna hear.

Now, yes or no?

It's a lot of trouble to access
the hatch of a cargo tank.

The answer is yes,
we'll inspect the luggage.

[Cromwell] Come on.

What do you got?

This is it,
all the big ones here

[Cromwell]
Rather formal don't you think?

[Shan] Haute couture.

[Terry] Call the mayor, this
must have cost a fortune.

[Shan] You like pretty dress?

[Terry] Of course I like
pretty dresses. Don't you?

[Cromwell] What'’s this here?

Barbell?

I don't get it

She must pump iron.

It'’s pure pig iron.

No drugs anywhere.

It's obvious Angelica
is up to something.

The question is what?

Here, thanks a lot.

Cromwell!

Georges Norris

I was afraid I was might
miss you

[Cromwell] Excuse me?

We met at the Shangai sector
about three years ago.

We worked for the same
company, George Norrison.

Yeah sure, sure.

[Georges] I would like to
have a word with you in private.

I'm a little pressed
for time right now Georges.

Instructions.

Instructions, Yeah

In the coffee shop.

I gotta talk to this guy he'’s
from interpol, alright.

And whatever you do make
sure you don't lose Angelica

Well how I do contact you?

[Cromwell]
I'll meet you at 5 O'clock.

Please call the Mercury
Courier office in Covent
Garden on Kingstreet.

Ask anybody, they will tell you
how to get there.

Okay, go on.

Interfering with the
surveillance.

Now, what the hell
is so important?

Interpol want to see you.

I've been ordered
to bring you in.

Bring me in?

I'm US council, department of
state with diplomatic immunity

What are you talking about?

Screw that Cromwell.

State issued the order.

But why?

I think it got something
to do with.

women

Major Shan is a woman
and sergeant O'shea is a woman

O'shea and Shan are dedicated
professionals, sir.

You should see them in action.

You can't replace
them we are.

On to something really
important here.

I have no intention
in replacing them.

I'm sorry Cromwell,
you're no longer assigned

to operation fireworks.

What about Harry Pimm?

What about the name
of the Founder?

Special agent Norris will now
take over.

Major Shan, sergeant O'shea will
now be answerable to him.

Well if tht's the case, sir,
perhaps it is the time

I hand in my resignation.

I wouldn't try that if
I were you Cromwell.

We might just accept it.

Alright Norris, you take over,
we are counting on you.

Kirkland just cross
me off your list.

Gentlemen I'm now
in the private sector.

I resign.

Good.

[Shan]
Talk about a shopping spree.

This is her fifth dress shop.

Seventh.

So is the same thing, this woman
is an evening gown freak.

At least we know where
she stays,

because we stakeout the hotel.

[Terry] Speaking of hotels,
what about Cromwell?

[Shan] What about him?

We gotta meet him
at the airlines

carry office. It's 5 o'clock.

Kingstreet, Covent Garden

Now, which way is Covent Garden?

I don't know, maybe he knows.

[unintelligible directions]

Did you hear what I just heard?

All sounds alike

I think he said Covent Gardens
is doon [down] that way.

- Doon.
- Okay.

Here it is Mercury couriers.

Look, man who met Cromwell
at airport.

[Terry]
Yeah, but I don't see Cromwell.

Major Shan, Sergeant O'shea,
please come in.

My name is Georges Norris. Do
please sit down.

Where is Cromwell?

We're supposed to meet him here.

I'm afraid that
won't be possible.

Cromwell's been transferred out,
I'm his replacement.

Just like that

Nobody told us

Kirkland orders.
Hence I hear Finch.

They're expecting you
to call for confirming.

Yeah, I'm gonna call
NY Interpol.

Be my guest.

I have here a set of revised
orders for each of you,

naming me in Cromwell's place.

Interpol Global
pull strings we jump.

Look, correct code file.

So where do we go from here?

Well, I've hoped
you'd be keeping a

tight watch on
Angelica Bethencourt

We leave her, to come here
to meet Cromwell.

All she does is shop for
dresses.

We have her hotel pinned down.

Good.

Reseem surveillance, report
every half hour.

I'll be covering Heathrow.

If Pimm slips by he'’ll make
straight for the bait,

don't let Angelica out of your
side, any questions?

How do we contact you?

Channel A9 on the UHF band.

As I said, every half hour.
Good luck.

Ten-four

[door closes]

Georges Norris calling Interpol.

Surveillance proceeding
according to plan.

I have everything in good order,
Norris out.

[Shan]
What do you think of new boss?

You've seen one agent,
you've seen them all, right?

Old saying.

Never change Ox
in middle of rice patty.

Angelica!

Back to the shopping spree.

Sergeant O'shea to Norris.

Time is 6PM, target has just

entered a clothing establishment

[Terry] The address is 121 Argo

More evening gowns?

Oh I know Black Lion is not

[Shan] Now, what is Adriana's?

[Shan] Excuse please, what is
Adriana's?

[man] Good question!

Now if it'’s High fashion we're

[women talking]

Excuse me, please.

This unfortunately,

We cannot... use

[Shan] We should go upfront.

[Terry] We cannot go upfront or

anywhere wearing these uniforms.

I've always wanted to wear
one of these.

Look...

Look at this one.

Just my size.

What about me? All wrong size.

Look that's how many
changing rack are over there.

So go over there
and find something to wear.

Then meet me
in the dressing room.

Not one minute,
you don't have one minute.

How much longer
will you be Allison?

Not just a minute,

Forgive me, I'm very sorry.

[woman] Have you seen her?

This didn't work.

This here, that doesn'’t
work either

Split the difference, I'’ve got
the stuff in the backroom

[fashion talk]

Cromwell.

What are you doing here?

Oh I was just keeping
an eye on Angelica.

And you.

You've been replaced.

I mean Norris told us
you're off this case.

Officially yes, I've been
relieved of duty, but hum

unofficially, wanted to keep
in contact.

With who?

With you.

They've gotten you orders, I
mean, Norris is our new CEO.

I didn't wanna just disappear
and leave you with a lot of

loose ends.

I notice you're out of
your uniform

Yeah, hum, the uniforms were
a little bit too advert around

here, so I change into something
less conspicuous

Yeah

By the way, where is,

where would Major Shan be,
right now?

She is in the locker

[Shan] Let her go!

Cromwell? Where the hell
did you come from?

Don't worry, no problem.

This is no problem, this is just
a slight shoulder separation.

Why don't you go on and change.

I'm gonna look around and see
if I can find anything.

Unofficially, off the record.

How do I know?

I thought he was off the case.

He is.

Looks to me like he is on.

Okay, where is your dress?

Oh, all too big or too small.

Really? Well I just happen
to find the perfect thing.

One size fits all.

[people talking]

Who is this?

Your associate colleague

We are probably taped,

[man over the phone]
We've deposited payment

account in credit.

Do we have a deal?

In case i'm exposed,
I want asylum in Bangkok.

You have my personal guarantee
of safe passage.

I've managed to get Elliot
Cromwell, relieved of duty.

I'm now in command of operation
fireworks.

Good, what's your step?
NY police can be tricky.

And major Shan'’s a bullbuster

Any word as to when Harry Pimm'’s
arriving in London?

There'’s no sign of him here in
Manhattan.

So he's probably in flight now.

As soon as he contacts
Angelica,

let your police dogs fight it
out with his bodyguards,

while they are all busy
chewing on each other,

you get in close to Harry
and kill his ass dead.

Have you got that Norris? Dead.

If Harry lives we'’ve had it.

I promised delivery, I'm not
gonna let Pimm divert it.

If I don't deliver, we're dead.

But the Founder ordered
no more infighting.

That's why I'm letting George
do it.

[80s music]

Excuse me, the
finale is starting,

you better get out there.

Did you find anything?

I think so, but I'll tell you
about it later, come on.

Better get upfront.

You'’re not dressed.

This is it.

Yeah, yeah.

Let's go!

[80s music]

Harry, back row, center.

Okay.

[Shan] Did you see Eddie Wing?

No, maybe they're guarding
the door.

[throbbing]

[Terry]
Seargeant O'shea calling Norris.

Norris here.

Where?

Here at Adriana's
in the audience.

Receive your message

[Terry] Harry Pimm is back row,
center. Armed and dangerous.

And look for two hoods,
somewhere near him.

I've got him in my sights.

Ten-four

Don't shoot.

What the fuck?

We're supposed
to take him alive.

Harry the police,
Major Shan, hurry!

[Shan] Come on Angelica

Angelica!

[people screaming]

[gunshots]

[Cromwell] You were just
shooting at the wrong guy.

Bollocks.

This is Norris,
calling from London.

Pimm was dead and
buried, but Cromwell

buggered in and blocked my shot.

Cromwell?

I thought you replaced him.

I did, but he's come back
on his own.

So take him out.

[Norris] I can't get
past those two man-eaters.

Don't give me this shit, Norris.

I'm paying you
to blow up Harry Pimm.

I wanna see his corpse
or I'm gonna see yours.

Hey, where is Norris?

Oh he's over Adriana's Office,
phoning in his report.

I got a funny felling he'’s
trying to get me deported.

This is Norris, emergency.

I'm at Adriana's and
my car is in the parking area.

Here'’s the silver diamond
licence number:

RUC 306Y.

I want it wired.

That is correct, plastique.

Use a timer, set it for 7:30
to the second.

Woah, George did you
file your little report?

Say goodbye Cromwell.

Goodbye Cromwell.

At least you got Angelica.

And Adriana's under arrest.

Adriana? What the hell for?

For smuggling dresses.

Cromwell go away.

Officer! would you be
so kind as to wheel

those dress racks
in here, please.

If you see anything you like
George, just pick it out.

Very good, very good.

George, If you seek,
And you shall find.

Gold!

[Cromwell] 9-9-9 pure, straight
from the London exchange.

[Terry] Woah, boullion, this
ingot weighs a ton.

I don't understand, how can
they smuggle lumps this size.

That's a good question,
don't you think George?

If you allow me, excuse me.

Now, what do you suppose
we have here?

What the hell is it for?

This is an extrusion machine
George.

What did he say?

He said - what?

This little gadget here,
makes gold wire.

You place an ingot in here.

Voilà! Gold thread
spins out here.

See, Adriana has a backroom
industry full of garment workers

who weave this gold
into bolts of material

Then her seamstresses
cut the patterns

and come up with a 24k creation.

Talk about high fashion

That's why Angelica collects
all these evening gowns.

She's got proof of purchase,
labels, custom declorations.

She simply switches the dresses.

The cheap stufs stays here,
the gold gowns go out.

No wonder Angelica
brings in a barbell.

Overweight luggage
comes in,

Dump out dumb-bell, put
in gold dresses,

same overweight luggage
goes out past customs.

[Cromwell]
You've got that quite right.

What are we gonna do
about this Angelica?

Gee I don't know, George
is your CO.

The target is still Harry Pimm.

She is his Achilles'
heel,

Sooner or later he'll come
within range.

Cut her loose.

Let her go?

You're free to go.

So, you can tell me?

You heard her Angie baby,
take a hike.

Continue surveillance
and let's get moving.

Come on I got
a rented car across the street.

We'll use mine: Silver diamond
parked around the back.

[Cromwell]
Alright, come on let's go.

Where is it?

Cromwell!

Did you just save my life?

I think so.

An old chinese proverb say:

"If you save a man's life you're
responsible for him, forever"

- Huh?
- Yeah.

[Norris]
Someone tried to kill me!

[Cromwell] Let's get out of
here, we'll take my car.

Sorry sir, you can't come
through this.

It's ok, it's alright,
come on come on.

Check it first.

They're not after me George,
I'm retired, remember?

Let me drive,
I'm excellent at tailgating.

No, you drive on the wrong
side of road, come on.

Oh yeah that's right, let's go!

[Terry] Go!

Well, I'm just a hired gun,
but I still don't understand

why Interpol thinks
Harry knows Mr. Big.

Why do they think he is
lieutenant?

Just looks like
a glorified errand boy to me.

[Radio] Interpol to Norris.
Come in please, emergency.

Norris here.

Please could you report the
unauthorized take-off

of a private jet, passengers
aboard 8PM, two bodyguards

and three foreign nationals
belived to be military

[Terry] Military?

Yeah, there were some brass
hats back at Adriana's

You have a destination?

[radio] Course setting plus fuel
capacity indicates JFK, NY.

Bind the name of the charter,
here give me that.

[Cromwell] What was the name
of the charter company?

[radio] Aircraft privately owned
by General Saboutu Cuison

Cuison? Cuison is part of the
Philippines fallout.

Word has it that he is now
only a terrorist.

He wants to be a dictator.

[radio] You read me?

We read you loud and clear.

[radio] Who is this?

Georges Norris, over and out.

Thanks George

[Cromwell] So, tell me George,

why are we still chasing
after Angelica?

When we now Harry is
on its way to New York.

[Terry] Yeah.

Head for the airport

I'm going up to flight cabin

Might need your help to place
a telephone call

to the airport
security, to be on

the lookout for who
is on this jet.

Okay.

Alone at last

That's right

Come here

What?

How much do you trust me?

On a scale of one to ten
or might as well be 5.

Our new CEO get -10

You got good instincts Major.

A little earlier I had the

opportunity to pick
Norris' pocket

[Terry] What is it?

Its'a a scrambler device,
marked with chip circuit.

You place it on a telephone,
it messes up the message.

The person on the other side
has a matching unit, unscrambler

Well he is a government agent.

I mean, how do you know
it isn't part of his spy kit

Slight problem with that theory.

This isn't a government issue,
at least on our go.

Chinese letters.

Made in Shangai

That is Black Lion territory,
right?

[Pilot]
I've got JFK police operation.

Use the headsets.

Hey Sergeant, where are you?

[Terry] I'm out, over the ocean.

I'm with Elliot Cromwell,
I want you to help him out.

I need a comupter search
on a criminal record.

The name is Pimm,
P-I-M-M, Harry or Harold.

Nothing on Pimm,
no warrant, no record.

Wait, it's a crossed file,
it's an alias.

Harry Pimm, real name Kalb,
K-A-L-B.

First name Leo.

Chemist, works for
US government civil

service, Aberdeen
Proving Grounds.

Two convictions: Both for arson.

Stretched in Leavenworth,
four years,

San Quentin, two years.

Harry Pimm is not Harry Pimm.

Harry Pimm is Leo Kalb.

And Interpol Global has a big
fat folder on Angelica.

[Cromwell] Like it was
important for us to find her.

And we ain't gonna have
anything on Leo Kalb.

Hello? I want to
place an emergency

call to Interpol Global.

Interpol Global.

Blue 0 0 Code 19 or
Asia Emergency Access.

[Kirkland] Interpol
Global, this is Kirkland.

How are you sir?

This is Cromwell.

Cromwell? What the hell do
you think you're doing?

You have no right to access
the security systems.

This is an emergency, sir.

I'm cutting you off.

Kirkland, wait!
You have a security breach.

You have no author...
Security breach?

Georges Norris

Georges Noris as in one
clearance.

Nearly tried to kill Harry Pimm.

Accusations prove nothing.

But then try this.

Check your wire tabs
on the Wellan Haggard.

Norris uses a scrambler
device made is Shanghai.

Place some calls
from once so they

should show up in
your computer tapes.

Alright Cromwell, if this
checks out, you're reinstated

All expenses? Same staff?

Liscence to kill, hence do shot.

Smooth flight.

What about it?

I've just been on the phone,
George.

I've called JFK,
Interpol, Kirkland.

Interpol info?

Well, he was just
explaining about

a certain high-tech component

Hum, made in Shangai.

The one I found in your pocket,
along with your gum drops.

What do you say we lock
George in the John.

What do you say,
when this is all over,

that we take
some time off, together?

I know this little pink
hotel in the Bahamas.

Yeah, I've read about
places like that?

You know I've been only
to two places in my entire life?

Martinsburg, West Virginia
and the big apple.

And you've been
everywhere twice.

Who did you take to that
pink stucco hotel?

Why don't you just come out
and say it, you don't trust me.

I don't trust you. -I knew
you were gonna say that.

[Kauffman] Well, hello Sarge.

Here'’s the keys.

I, uh, fed your cab.

[Terry] Thanks, Kauffman.

What are you looking at?
You gonna change?

I'’m going to have to
borrow your squad car.

Major Shan, here,

Is gonna take that one down
to Dockstreet.

By the way, there's a
felony prisoner on

flight 3, who's
locked in the occupy.

Now hook him up, Book
him and cook him.

[Kauffman] You got it Major.

Allow me.

My pleasure Madame.

[Shan] Come on, hurry up!

Park in back, okay?
Turn around, come on.

[car door closes]

[Shan] What's that for?

[Cromwell] I like to
keep a record of the play

by play action. People say the
darndest things.

[footsteps]

[Terry] Are you sure you
don't want any backup?

There's no time. Besides
We don'’t want to lose the

the element of surprise.
[activation sound]

Hey, also
I don't wanna lose life.

[Terry]
You sure anybody is home?

[Shan] No, they put the alarm
only if the place is empty

That's it! [Terry] What?

Can you put that away?

You read chinese?
Warning: high explosives!

[Shan] Repeat, what is it?

What he's always paying for.

[Terry] Fireworks?

Sparklers? Vesuvius fountains?
I mean come on!

Master Sargeant
right about you Cromwell.

For a honky,
you're pretty damn smart.

Let's take look, shall we?

[Shan] Firecrackers,
cherry bomb,

roman candles, sky rockets.

[Cromwell] Machine gun bullets,
Mortar shells, hand grenades.

[Terry] Uzis, Mac 75s,
BP 70s, Kalashnikovs.

[Shan] Gun running is big
business

Iran-Contra'’s big fat pay off's.

We've unvovered
a stock pile of weapons

at Dockstreet warehouse, set for
shipment to general Cuison,

Harry Pimm, alias Leo Kalb

Spell Kalb.

K-A-L-B

Try it the chinese way.

Backwards?

Right, yeah yeah.

B-L-A-K. Black!

And Leo means Lion.

Harry Pimm is Black Lion

Very good. [car door closes]

Shhh! I hear a car door.

[woman] Why isn't Harry
here, he agreed to meet us

[Haggard] That son of a bitch
wants to make us wait.

[woman] Why couldn't we'’ve met
In some nice corporate offices?

This place is a rat'’s nest!

[Haggard]
It's the only safe ground.

[woman] is it?

If he plays ball.

Where is the Founder?

He'll be here.

[Haggard] Ok, so maybe we
stepped out of the line.

[woman] Maybe we did try
to push you around.

You tried to kill me, bitch!

[Haggard]
You tried to block our sale.

- The arms weren'’t yours to sell
- I had a good deal.

[Pimm] For yourself,
but I had a better one,

for Black Lion.

You're broken down
Dictator Quezon

I'm telling you Haggard,
obey my orders

and stop making
deals that profit

you but not the corporation.

Obey your orders?

Fuck you, Harry.

[Pimm] You wan it shoot it out?

Blow us all up?

I thought the Founder was coming

Bet he makes the decisions.

He already has.

Christ, here we go again.

Why can he come upfront
and settle this in person?

[recording] I'm telling you
Haggard, obey my orders

and stop making
deals that profit

you and no the cooperation.

[Pimm] You heard me Haggard.

Obey my orders and stop making

deals that profit you
and no the cooperation.

You?

That's right Haggard.

[Pimm] I don't come upfront
and set deals personally,

because of Interpol,
because of you,

I stay alive,
that's my message Haggard,

signed by me personally.

[woman] Harry, no!

[gunshots]

Let's go.

[clic]

What you doing here?

Mister Cromwell,
isn't it rather dangerous

to come here on your own?

[Cromwell] Interpol
didn't realize

what an important
you were Harry.

[recording] K-A-L-B Try
it the chinese way.

[a woman - recording] -
Backwards? -Yeah yeah.

[recording] -B-L-A-K, Black!
And Leo means Lion.

[recording]
Harry Pimm is Black Lion.

Send his head to Kirkland.

You take out Jingmao,
I want Eddie Wing.

No, sword tale out Cromwell,
I take out sword.

[Terry] What if you miss?

It's not possible.

[Chinese language]

Fire.

[gunshot]

Come down out of there.

Cromwell is a dead man,
we're all dead.

I'm telling you if you shoot me

he dies and you die, we all die.

Stand off, go down.

Get them.

I'll go down,
just get to the car.

If you're staying, I'm staying.

You already save my life once,
it's my turn alright?

Go ahead!

Come on!

I can't leave him!

Come on!

We have unfinished
business, Shan.

Go get him.

Im gonna cover him from the top.

I'll start the car.

Shit!

You're dead Cromwell,
you got the best angle, hit him!

Don't do it, Eddie.

You do it I drop this in the
crate

I'’ll this whole place
into a shitstorm.

You hear me?

He'll do it, back off!
This son of a bitch is crazy.

[Cromwell] Happy New Year!

It'll all blow!

[Primm] Put it out!

Put it out! Put it out!

[man] Out of the way!

[Cromwell] Let's
get the hell out

of here! -Where is
mister sergeant?

She go back for you
over top of crates.

Shit!

[scream]

Terry! Terry!

[fireworks blowing up]

[screaming]

[glass shattering]

[tired screeching]

[Shan] Don't stop now!

That was only the backroom.

[Cromwell] Come on!

Come on baby, don't let me down!

Anybody wants to get out
and push?

It's getting too hot!

[Shan] Come on! it's time to go.

Let's go!

It's time to go.

[Cromwell] We're out of here,
ladies!

[police sirens]

[Kirkland] Well done, Cromwell.

Yeah, not too many agents
would have the initiative

to blow up
an entire block of Manhattan

Well it's a start, sir.

Well, we got a great
assignment for you.

[Kirkland]
It concerns design and...

Hey you have fun
when you get home.

Happy unfinished business.

[Kirkland] Cromwell?

Major, you take good care
of yourself okay?

[Kirkland talking]

Don't send any champagne this
time.

[Kirkland] Cromwell! Cromwell?
Where are you?

Cromwell!
