There is no one more qualified

to bring this...

to a mutually

beneficial conclusion.

- Inspector Richard. Bonjour.

- Sir Minister.

This is Minister Tang, our liaison

from the People's Republic of China.

- It's an honor to meet you, sir.

- The honor is ours.

The minister tells us

you are the best of the best.

Well, the minister is too kind.

If that were true,

I might have been able

to avoid this tragedy.

I'm hoping that you might help us

understand what went wrong...

so that we can avoid

further bloodshed.

And hopefully, bring this matter to

a quick and satisfactory conclusion.

If we could be showed the facts.

Yes, of course. Please.

Uh, as you know,

as soon as you informed us...

of the criminal activities of the gangster

Sung, we set our operation in motion.

We identified his heroin

smuggling routes into France.

And in the spirit of cooperation,

we graciously accepted your offer...

to have one of your people,

Liu Jian, come over...

to assist us in Sung's arrest as he

was meeting with his French contact,

who unfortunately

we haven't yet identified.

Here...

he is surveilling Sung as we were

waiting for the contact to arrive.

And here, he's observing

along with us.

And then, for some reason we still can't

understand, he went completely insane.

Left the room to pee,

and next thing we know...

he's knocked out the bodyguards,

killed Sung and the prostitute.

This is the gun

he used to murder Sung.

Chinese police issue.

Do you recognize it?

- Yes.

- Good.

Oh, we have also verified

his fingerprints on the weapon.

Well, please, feel free to verify

our findings with your own people.

We assume that your man was

part of the conspiracy--

that he murdered Sung to

keep him from being captured...

and testifying in your courts,

as you had requested.

But that is only an assumption.

We are hoping you could give us

some background on him...

which would help us in his capture.

Inspector Liu Jian was top in

all his classes at the academy.

He received the highest training

in martial arts,

weapons and police tactics.

He's been decorated for bravery

in the line of duty six times,

been promoted five times,

and has never lost a case.

He has no wife, no children.

His only dedication is to his work.

He's our best,

which is why this is all so confusing.

Well, you know, sometimes

the best are also the worst.

It's really sad.

Any surveillance cassettes?

Destroyed as he made his escape.

Do you know if he has any relatives

in Paris? Any friends or--

He has no one.

Well, then we should be able

to wrap this up very soon.

Excuse me.

I found the emergency phone.

Oh, that's good news.
