Armour of God (龍兄虎弟)

¶¶

- -

Mmm.

- - Mmm.

Get to the point already!

Okay. Alan, Jackie and Lorelei are in a rock group together,

but when Lorelei got engaged to Alan, it broke Jackie's heart.

So he left the group and became a soldier of fortune...

known as the "Asian Hawk."

What the hell does this story have to do...

with the missing pieces of the Armour of God?

Well, the formidable Asian Hawk has acquired...

some of the world's most important art treasures.

I think I found a way to persuade him to help us.

I'm convinced he can find the other two pieces of armour.

Ah, I see.

If we offer him a good price, maybe there's a chance we'll get back the Armour of God.

Shut up. He hasn't finished.

I'm trying to tell you that Jackie's still in love with the girl,

and we can use her to help us get the armour.

- What do you mean? - Well, if Jackie brings us the sword in exchange for the girl,

then we'll really have what we wanted... we will then possess all five pieces.

Kidnap this girl immediately.

Let's go.

And now the main item in today's auction:

the legendary Sword of God said to have been used by King Arthur during the Crusades.

We'll start at 30,000. I'll accept bids in increments of 5,000.

And now may I have an opening bid, please?

Thirty-five, 40, 45.

Forty-five, and then to 50.

Fifty, 55, 60.

Sixty-five. Now you understand this is a priceless sword, gentlemen.

Do I hear more? The gentleman bid 70.

Seventy. Do I hear more?

- - Yes? More? Gentlemen, 75.

- Do I hear more? - 100,000.

The lady bids 100,000. Excellent taste, madame.

100,000. Do I hear five more? Five more?

- 105. - 150.

One-fifty. Very generous.

At last we are approaching the true value of this extremely precious sword.

Do I hear a bid of 155?

- Okay. Okay. - Any advance on 150,000?

- 300,000. - 300,000.

Incredible. Any advances on 300,000?

Any advances?

Ladies and gentlemen, it has been my honor and privilege...

to have been present at such a historical moment.

- I thank you all for your generosity. - You're crazy!

Okay. Not 300,000!

As a formality, I am closing the bidding at 300,000.

Going once, going twice...

- 400,000. - 400,000.

The lady had just upped the price to 400.

Going once, going twice, sold!

Hi.

- Pretty nice auction, huh? - You were lucky, too, to have sold it for so much.

- You are right. - Nice car.

- Want a ride? - All right.

Wait!

What's the matter?

I've changed my mind. I really have to be going now.

My driver's waiting over there.

- How about dinner? - Go.

Thank you.

Room 206, please. Thanks.

- Oh, Mr. Chan. Your messages. - Huh?

Thank you.

Urgent. Please call back.

Need help. Why haven't you called?

I'm booking a plane ticket.

They've got me on standby. Imperative that you wait.

I'm on flight 101, landing in one hour.

Waiting for cab at airport. Hope you've received messages.

Where have you been all day? Waiting in lobby. Matter of life or death!

"Going to sleep. Wake me when you arrive." Jackie!

She been kidnapped? How much they want?

I've got money. It's not that.

If they don't want money, how the hell can I help you?

You've come to the wrong person.

Not when I tell you what they're after. They want the Armour of God.

Armour of God?

Yes, and if they don't get it, they've threatened to kill Laura.

I just sold the sword this morning.

Well, we've got to buy it back immediately.

Look, I told you. I already sold it.

- But I know who had two other pieces... - Great! Even better!

They belong to Mr. Bannon. He's a major collector of antiques.

Let's go get them.

After what you did to me, why should I help you?

Jackie, where's your compassion? We're talking about Laura.

Everything's over between us.

How can you be so coldhearted? We're friends.

What makes you think we're still friends?

What's this?

We grew up together, played the same games, dated Laura.

We're just like brothers. How can you treat me like a stranger?

As far as I'm concerned, I wish we never met!

We've been through this before. I'm not interested in talking about this anymore.

You never treated me as a friend.

Oh. I understand.

You're jealous 'cause she's with me. Can't stand losing?

Hmm. I really didn't lose.

Sorry. I never realized it was that bad.

I'll just have to come up with another plan.

The only question is, will she be alive when I find her?

Come on! Hey, this reminds me of that time on the beach.

Wait a minute. I wasn't drowning.

You didn't have to throw me that life preserver.

I was doing perfectly all right, and you know it.

Yeah, yeah. But didn't you call out for help?

I've told you. It was a secret...

- Hey, what does this say? - "Vorsicht, ra..."

- Not sure. - I guess we'll find out.

Is there a bell?

- Anybody home? - Let's keep on going.

Don't move!

Down! Heel! Heel!

Easy, now. Easy.

Sit. Sit!

- Shouldn't we run? - Just... relax.

Excuse me. Please follow me, gentlemen.

Bye-bye. Well, now we know what the sign says.

You sure this is the right house?

I sure hope this Bannon's in a good mood. Otherwise, we could end up like that.

You weren't scared, were you?

- - Oh!

Don't worry. He has a chain around him.

He's only let loose at night. Gentlemen, please follow me.

- - This place is a zoo.

Why are they so important to you, Jackie? Did you find a potential buyer?

- I wish that was it... - If I might...

My fiance's been kidnapped. In exchange for her life, they've demanded the armour.

- Kidnappers, you say? - I'll pay you anything.

You know, you guys,

I've heard a lot of stories in my day.

But this one...

I'm not really interested in parting with any Armour of God pieces,

but there might be a few similar items in my collection.

- May I show you? - No. We don't want anything else.

Uh, I'm very interested.

I'm sure there's something you'd like.

- Please come with me. - Mmm.

Wait.

Gentlemen, follow me.

Oh, my!

This is amazing. I've never seen such a collection.

Actually, museums from all over the world...

frequently borrow from me for their exhibitions.

Oh, where's the Armour of God? Think we can have a look?

Over here.

There you are.

You've got to be kidding! It's just lying here unguarded.

Oh, to me they're merely simple acquisitions.

Not that everyone shares my opinion.

So tell me about Armour of God.

If it's not that important, why keep it?

Hmm. Sit down. Sit down.

Long before the birth of Christ, dark forces roamed the earth.

Barbarians held power and terrorized the masses, thus beginning the Dark Ages.
