Jackie Chan Adventures (2000–2005): Season 2, Episode 31 - Tough Luck - full transcript
Jackie acquires a cursed emerald, and must find a way to break the curse. Meanwhile, Finn decides to leave the Dark Hand.
Announcer: Ladies and
gentlemen, please welcome
the dark hand!
(Hard rock playing)
Hello, Cleveland!
Get down! Get funky!
It's the seventies!
(Helicopter approaching)
(Feedback echoes)
We're not even doing
anything wrong.
You were off-key.
Chan!
(Gasping)
I gotta get away from chan.
I will get away from chan.
No more dark hand
means no more chan.
I'll start my own
crime syndicate.
Look out world!
Finn's goin' solo!
(Crickets chirping)
Uh, first thing in the morning.
Is this late huang
dynasty or early ming?
Um... It is from China.
(Sighs)
Ow! You are a terrible salesman!
You must know the merchandise!
Uncle's right, tohru.
For example...
This lovely lamp is
from the junk dynasty.
You are not helping, Jade.
Uncle: You need sales training!
Jackie will assist.
I will?
And Jade will mind the store.
Cool!
Do I get paid?
Sell something,
and we will talk.
Let the sell-a-thon begin!
Welcome to uncle's rare...
Take it! It's yours.
Oh, no, you don't!
I'm not taking this thing.
Unless you buy something.
Whew.
Uh, how much?
500 bucks?
Deal.
Whoo hoo! Yeah! Ha ha ha ha ha!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!
What's he so happy about?
Uh,
note the hand-painted details
and, um, ahem, duck shape.
How nice. I will take 2.
Ai-yah!
Tohru, you must mention its age,
and, Jackie,
I did not believe your performance
for a second.
Jade: Oh, uncle!
Somebody made a sale.
Ohh! Jade!
(Sighs)
But wait!
I also made an acquisition.
(Gasps)
Uncle: Ai-yah!
(Echoing) Ai-yah!
Ai-yah!
Infamous emerald of killarney.
Feared throughout the world.
Uh, feared?
That stone carries
an Irish curse,
bringing endless bad luck
to whomever possesses it.
Ohh, Jade, you are cursed!
Really? I don't feel cur...
(Gasps)
I'm cursed!
One accident does not make a
curse, Jade.
Uncle is just being
superstitious...
Aah!
I'm not saying I
believe in this curse,
but perhaps you
should give me that.
Just in case.
Did you see...
(cell phone rings)
Hello?
I'm bankrupt?!
How is that possible?
(Gasps)
(Softly) The curse.
Ohh!
(Sighs) Next.
Grrrr!
Oh! Ha ha ha.
Next.
(Sighs)
How can I launch my solo career
without decent henchmen?
Chow: You're still
lookin' for muscle?
'Cause we're lookin' for work.
After you quit, we told valmont
he'd better give us
raises, or we'd quit, too!
And now you guys
want to work for me?
That is so c...
I mean, that's cool.
So, what's the job, Finn?
Uh, call me boss.
There's a certain priceless
gem I've been tracking...
And I've just met somebody
who knows where to find it.
(Muffled) Help!
Is this really necessary?
You possess the emerald now,
so you possess the curse!
We must make certain
nothing bad happens to you.
Uncle, this is something bad.
You cannot pass your troubles
to someone else, Jackie.
You must Bear the curse alone
until I am able to break it!
I understand, uncle.
But...
(Grunts)
I... Maxed out my library card.
Everything they got
on Irish legends.
Antique selling for dummies?
Ah, that one is mine.
Where's Jackie?
Ha-chaa!
The curse is transferred
when the emerald changes hands.
Only if the exchange
is made willingly.
I had to agree to take it.
That's why. Mr. jitters was
so eager to make a deal.
One more thing.
The curse may only be broken
by returning the
emerald to Ireland
to the tomb from
which it was stolen.
(Knocking on cupboard door)
Jackie: Can I come out now?
Jade: I got you into this.
At least let me
help get you out.
Besides, you can't go
to Ireland by yourself.
You're cursed.
I can handle.
A little bad luck, Jade.
Uncle: Not without
uncle's lucky charms.
Garlic.
Good for digestion and for luck.
One more thing...
Rabbit's feet.
They work better when they
are still on the rabbit.
And keep these with you at all
times, or else.
Or else what?
The rabbit will get hungry!
Ahh. So far, so good.
Taxi!
Oh! Hey!
Uh, stop! Wait!
Here, bunny, bunny.
Aah! Oh!
Hey, look out!
Watch it, fella! Sorry!
Unh.
Aah!
Aah!
Unh.
Oh, if I don't break this curse,
it may break...
Uh...
The airport, please.
Th-that's where I
unloaded the emerald.
Chan?! He has the stone?
Of all the rotten luck!
Maybe we should track down
a different emerald.
Yo, I'm the boss,
and I say we're
gettin' this emerald.
Hey, maybe chan was too much
for the dark hand,
but we are the Finn experience.
Look, trust me,
you don't want that thing.
There's an Irish curse on it.
There is?
Yeah, what,
the curse of killarney?
Hey, I'm Irish,
and every Irish dude
knows that curse is
a bunch of blarney.
Let's nail him!
Hey, who's the boss here?
Let's nail him!
Man: Look out!
No bad luck. No bad luck.
No bad luck. No bad luck.
No... unh.
Could you please raise your...
No.
Ahh.
Ireland. I made it in one piece.
Huh?
Jade?
Uncle may go for
garlic and rabbits,
but we both know
I'm your real good luck charm.
Jade, you are going
back right now... ow!
Top o' the morning to ya.
You're going back... ow!
You're... ow!
Why does everyone
keep doing that?
'Cause this is Ireland.
Jade: You're not
wearing green...
And it's kind of St.
Patrick's day.
Jackie: Ow!
I should have... ow...
Known the airline would... ow...
Lose my luggage... ow!
Come on,
let's get you some green.
(Cell phone rings)
Hello?
Uncle: Jackie,
I have been doing more research.
Tohru is performing
an Irish good luck
spell for you.
Is it working?
I don't... ow... think so.
You call that an Irish
jig, tohru?
That spell says you
must riverdance.
One more thing...
To avoid bad luck,
always wear a belt.
Uncle: Beware of
men named Seamus,
and never. Stand with your back
to an open door.
Are you making these up?
Do you want uncle's
help or not?!
(Gasps) Open door.
(Gasps) The dark hand?!
Not anymore.
We are Finn and the revolution.
I thought we were
the Finn experience.
Ah, I'm still playing
around with names.
Now give me the stone.
The emerald?
Believe me, you do not want it.
It's...
Cursed? Nice try, chan.
Now, hand it over.
Ok, Jackie,
this should... uh-oh.
Jade, stay here.
(Grunts)
Uncle was right about the belt.
I need those!
Then give me the emerald.
You'll just sell it
and pass the curse
to someone else.
There is no curse.
Aah!
Hello.
Oops.
Finn: There he is!
(Jeering and laughing)
Why, lookee there, Seamus.
Seamus?
Why, that fella's not
wearin' any pants, Seamus.
Aye, Seamus,
and he's not wearin' any
green, neither.
No one escapes from
Finn, wind, and fire.
Unh.
Eww.
Lose something?
2 somethings.
Finn took the emerald.
Good!
Now the curse is his problem.
(Cell phone rings)
Hello?
Uncle: One more thing-
Watch out for pickpockets.
The curse is transferred
when the emerald is
exchanged willingly,
but if the gem is stolen...
Stolen?
The curse will stay with you!
Forever!
Lucky me.
(Rumbling)
(Sighs)
Jackie: Ow.
Ow.
Ow.
Ow.
Ow.
Jackie, please put this on.
What's the point?
It will just burst
into flames or...
See?
The curse.
Uncle said I'm stuck
with it forever.
But uncle also said the curse
could be broken, right?
All we have to do
is get that emerald
back to its tomb.
But how are we
supposed to find it?
The Finn, uh, guys,
could be anywhere by now.
(Irish accent) Just leave
that wee problem to me,
why don't ya?
(Cheering)
(All gasp)
Alrighty, now.
Who stole me emerald?
(Gasps) Get out of the garden.
A leprechaun!
That's right, lads.
I'm a leprechaun,
and if'n you can't
say where to find
the emerald of killarney,
I'll put the hex on
every last one of ya!
I heard about some fellas
trying to sell a Jewel
out at the potato factory.
Then I'll spare ya of
me wrath this time.
Hang on, now.
He's a leprechaun.
If we catch him,
he's got to give
us his pot of gold.
Wait! I'm not a leprechaun, ok?
I got this costume at a...
Is this some kind
of leprechaun trick?
Any luck?
Both kinds!
Man: The leprechaun!
Get him!
Hurry! This way!
Ya can't outrun Seamus!
(Rip)
What was that?
My pants.
Ok, what's the plan?
Sneak attack or...
The plan is for
you to wait here.
But the curse!
I will be fine, Jade. I promise.
Heh heh.
It's a potato factory.
How dangerous could it be?
(Gulps)
Jackie needs help.
The leprechaun!
Get him!
(Gasps)
Curse? Nah, there's no curse.
In fact,
my luck has never been better.
So, 3 million? Deal.
Ha ha!
We never made this kind of coin
workin' for the dark hand!
The rolling Finns rock!
Ha ha! My solo debut just
went triple-platinum!
No bad luck. No bad luck.
No bad luck.
No bad luck. No bad luck.
No bad luck.
All: Chan?!
Well, get him!
I love this machine!
It's kickin' chan's butt for us!
Man: Gotcha!
Second man: You're mine!
Come here, you!
Think, Jade!
You can't escape, leprechaun.
Alrighty, you caught me.
Now, follow me,
and I'll lead you to me pot o' gold.
Face it, chan.
You're no match for Finn halen!
Now gimme the emerald.
Willingly.
So, how does it feel to be a
loser, chan?
Actually, I feel lucky.
Ohh! No! No! Hey! Oof!
Both: Whoa!
Whoa!
This thing is cursed!
Jackie: I know...
And I will take the curse back
if you will just leave me alone.
(Door opens)
Those men have it!
It's all yours, dude.
Man: Grrr.
Alrighty, hand it over.
I just did. He has it.
Not the emerald,
you pig-ignorant gum.
Every irishmen knows that
rock carries a curse!
But the leprechaun told us
you lot stole her pot o' gold!
Aah!
Hey, boss!
We quit!
You guys can't quit now!
I just settled on a name!
Both: Whew.
Jade: Nothing's gone wrong
since we left the tomb.
Looks like you're
officially uncursed!
Yes, I think my luck
is finally changing.
Jackie, look out!
Aah! Ohh!
Aah!
Aah!
Whoa.
Black cat, broken mirror,
and walking under a ladder?
That's like...
80 years bad luck.
But those are just
superstitions.
Right?
Old man: Hey, fella...
You're standin' right
where the trash bin goes.
Hey, Jackie.
Yes?
What's the hardest thing
you've ever had to do?
Typing.
Communication with e-mail.
Internet.
Anybody write to me...
Even Chinese,
I don't know how to type back.
What can I do?
Some other things, easy.
Stunt, rolling,
action, I can do it.
I just don't know how to type.
gentlemen, please welcome
the dark hand!
