Armour of God (龍兄虎弟)

Go on with the story, come on!

Alan, Jackie, and Lorelei were a rock band, but there were problems.

Jackie quit and became an adventurer.

He’s known as the "Asian Hawk."

What does that have to do with me wanting the three pieces of the "Armour of God"?

An "Asian Hawk" stole the "Sword of God" from an African tribe.

If he could get the sword, he’ll take the other two pieces too.

But we’ll offer him a good price. He’ll find the "Armour of God."

Stay out of it. Let him continue. - We need the "Asian Hawk,"

but we won’t pay him. - Why not?

Lora is a famous fashion designer. She has many fashion shows in Paris.

Jackie still has a soft spot for her. - You’ll kidnap this Lora immediately.

And now we come to the main item of the auction: The "Sword of God,"

used by nobles in the Crusades. We start at 30,000 pounds.

I’ll take bids in increments of 5,000 pounds. May I have your first bid?

Thirty-five, forty, forty-five, forty-five, and fifty.

Fifty, fifty-five, sixty, sixty-five.

I’d like to hear higher bids for this truly priceless sword.

Do I hear more, gentlemen? Aha, this gentleman bids 70,000.

70,000, do I hear more, gentlemen? Yes, 75.

Does anyone bid more? - 100. The lady bids 100,000.

Excellent taste.

Yes, exactly. Right. - 100,000, do I hear another 5?

105,000. - 150,000.

150,000. That’s a generous offer.

Finally, we’re approaching the true value of this extraordinarily precious sword.

Does anyone bid 155,000? - Okay, stop now.

Does anyone bid more than 155,000? - 300,000!

Aha. - The bid stands at 300,000 pounds.

300,000 pounds. It’s clear: This gentleman knows the sword’s value.

I’m sure you all know its value. So I ask again...

Are you crazy? I said okay, not 300.

There are no further bids. 300,000.

The "Sword of God" for 300,000 pounds, going once... - 400,000!

400,000. That should conclude the auction.

The "Sword of God" is sold for 400,000 pounds.

Congratulations, the sword is priceless.

You managed to sell it for so much money. - Yes, you’re right.

Nice car. - Want a ride? Sure, okay.

Hold on a second. - What’s wrong?

I like the car, but the wind messes up my hair.

My car is more comfortable.

I could drive slower. - Just drive.

Thanks.

Room 206, please. Thanks. - Mr. Chan, there are messages for you.

Oh, thanks. Wow, so many. And they’re all from Alan.

"Urgent, please call back."

"I need help, please call me."

"I’m booking a flight ticket. I’m on the waitlist."

"Wait for me. I’m taking a plane. I need help."

"Wait. Where have you been?"

"I’m waiting in the lobby. It’s a matter of life and death."

"I need your help." Jackie!

Kidnapped? Was a ransom demanded? - That’s not why I need you.

How am I supposed to help you? You’ve got the wrong guy.

You don’t know what they’re after. They want the "Armour of God."

The "Armour of God"? - You said it’s worth a lot of money.

I just sold the sword. - Then you have to buy it back.

The "Armour of God" consists of five pieces. But I only know where three are.

And where? - Two belong to Mr. Bennon.

A girl just bought the sword. - Let’s go get the pieces.

Why should I help you? - Not for me. Don’t you care about Lora?

Things between Lora and me ended long ago. - Can’t you help a friend?

Why should we be friends? - What’s wrong with you?

We grew up together, went out with Lora. Like brothers.

Why do you treat me like a stranger? - Have you forgotten?

As kids, you bossed me around. And when we met up with Lora,

you showed off with your money. You never treated me like a friend.

Oh, I see. You still haven’t forgiven me for what happened with Lora.

I didn’t lose there. Fights hurt feelings.

You admit there are still feelings. - Even if there were, it’s over now.

You were down because of Lora.

I shouldn’t have come this time. I hope they don’t kill the hostage.

Did you use up the ginseng juice? - That ran out two years ago.

I really like the stamps you sent.

This time, I had no ideas.

I only brought you a bottle of your favorite tofu paste.

Forget it. - I’m being petty.

You’re not petty. - Yes, I am.

Even if you are petty... - You want to save Lora?

I don’t know if I should save her. - Do it.

Our friendship means a lot to me.

If I save Lora and lose you as a friend,

it’s pointless.

Take care. - Wait!

Stop. Do you know how to contact the kidnappers?

Yes, they already sent a map and ordered me to deliver the three pieces.

The exchange is supposed to happen in a small town by a river in the mountains.

First, we’ll ask Mr. Bennon if he’ll lend us the two pieces.

Then we’ll track down the girl. - Okay.

Hey, look what it says here. - Caution, wild animals.

They can’t be serious. - With people like this, you never know.

Is there a doorbell around here?

Anyone home? - No one can hear you out here.

Quiet now. Quiet now. Stay calm.

Down! Down!

Stay calm, calm.

Sit. Sit.

What do we do now? - Praying’s the only option.

Excuse me, please follow me.

That sign was serious after all. - Where have we ended up?

The owner must really hate deer. - Germany seems quite popular here.

He’s got a chain on. He’s free at night. Gentlemen, please follow me.

So, why are they so important to you? Are you trying to prevent a greater disaster?

No, they’re not that important. - My fiancée was kidnapped.

They want to trade her for the armour. - Yes, that’s clear.

Every life can be seen as important or unimportant.

If I lend you two the armour to save your friend’s life,

I could spend my fortune

to save hundreds of Africans from starvation.

We’d only borrow it briefly. I’d return it.

Can you guarantee that?

I guarantee it. - Even if you guarantee it,

I have no reason to believe it. - Name a price, I’ll buy it.

Do you really think I’m still interested in money?

Let’s talk about something more interesting. Since you’re both here,

would you like to see my antiques? - I’m not very interested in antiques.

May I? I’m very interested. - Then we have something in common.

Please, come with me. - Wait.

Jackie, look at this.

Wow, so many antiques.

It’s like a museum. - Yes, museums around the world...

often borrow particularly fine pieces from me for their exhibitions.

You have so many treasures here. You must have a good security service.

I have 50 purebred hunting dogs. A guard every three steps.

Strangers can’t break in here. Why would I need a security service?

May we see the "Armour of God"?

Of course you may.

Here, please.

You just leave them lying around? - To me, they’re pieces of history.

Not everyone shares my view, of course. - Tell us more about the armour.

What does this have to do with the kidnappers?

Take a seat. Sit down.

Long before Christ’s birth, dark forces roamed the earth.

They held power and terrorized peaceful people.

And so it remained for centuries, until men of truth rose up

to wage war against these forces.

Needless to say, the knights defeated their evil adversaries.

The armours from those battles...

were passed down through generations.

They were sought after as symbols of power.

Unfortunately, many pieces were lost or disappeared. Only five are known

to still exist. And that is the "Armour of God."

Does this cult still exist?

Yes, the cult still exists. And it spreads discord.

Some of its members are quite powerful people.

And they believe if they destroy the armour,

terror and discord would reign everywhere. - These kidnappers,

what kind of people are they?

Unfortunately, I don’t have an answer. I don’t have much time, gentlemen.

I wasn’t prepared for this visit. I have business to attend to.

That doesn’t mean you have to leave. Feel free to stay a few days.

Be my guests. - No, I... - I’d love to stay.

I’d like to stay. - I’m glad you like it here.

If you need anything, call the servant.

They’ll ensure the guests are comfortable and lack for nothing.

Make yourselves at home. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Follow me.

Thank you. - Thanks.

Too bad we already ate. We had no idea what they have here.

Maybe you’re not hungry anymore, but the dogs and leopards surely are.

What are you getting at? - The animals guard his collection.

Do you want to steal something here? - No one else is guarding the antiques.

Forget it, we’re guests here. - We’re supposed to feel at home.

Do you steal in your own house? - Is now the time for principles?

You’re forgetting where Lora is. - No.

If you can’t have her, you’d rather she be dead.

What are you talking about? I only meant you shouldn’t steal.

Can you do something else?

We’re comfortable here. But Lora?

Stealing isn’t the way out.

How would you know?

You don’t look that dumb. I’ll accept Bennon’s terms.

I’ll borrow the armour from him.

Why can’t you steal it and return it? It’s simple.

I won’t help you steal.

And you won’t do it alone either. - Now I know what friendship means.

Then steal it!

Sir?

My master wishes to speak with you, sir.

Are you coming?

Be quiet.

Alan, are you okay? - The dogs nearly tore me apart.

The dogs wouldn’t bite you without an order from me or my daughter.

And they only eat their own food. - Think of something.

Go on, get lost. Yes, good boy.

That’s her. - This is my daughter, May.

We met at the auction. - Oh, since they already know each other,

that makes things easier. Look,

I had it in my hands already.

That’s it, right? - Yes, that’s it.

So, this is the man from the auction who bid on his own sword

to drive up the price. - Sir, I had no idea

she was your daughter.

So, he cheated.

And my father treated you like friends. - He did it for his fiancée.

I’ll only save my fiancée and return it undamaged.

What’s that? - Definitely not the ice cream man.

Let the police in. - Yes, sir.

I wouldn’t care, but the police...
