The Chinese police have charged him | with narcotics trafficking.

Local authorities say he will be held...

pending his arraignment tomorrow | on these charges.

No bail has been set.

The name's King.

My name is Burns. Nice to meet you.

So, what you doing in a place like this?

I guess I was in the wrong place | at the wrong time.

- That's what they all say. | - Do they?

How about you?

Truth is, I was crossing | the Kazakhstan border...

trafficking some weed.

Some ragheaded motherfuckers busted me.

As far as I can tell, | American Embassy is talking to the D.E. A...

and I think they're gonna see this | as a big misunderstanding...

I forgive you, okay? | I will get you out of here.

I love you.

I know how hard you try.

I love you.

I hate to let him think | he's getting a free ride.

Where are you from?

We're from the D.E.A.

- U.S.A. And Hong Kong. | - Photo please.

These officers are here | to pickup the prisoners.

I need our paperwork.

It's already filed, let's hurry up.

It's not that simple. I mean, he's a professor.

What if he's innocent?

If he's innocent, the Pope wears panties.

- Here you are. | - Ok, right this way.

- Once a friend, a friend for life. | - Take care, my man.

- You ain't going down no rat hole. | - Don't forget about me.

- Love and respect. | - Walk in peace, my man.

I'll see you soon.

Don't forget about me, Burns!

2:
07 AM Thursday - Paris

Why would they release him?

The American D.E.A. Gave the order.

You say this "gwilo" knows nothing | of our operation?

That is correct.

I want to know exactly who this man is | and what he knows.

I don't want him to be in a position...

to cause us any complication.

9:
50 PM Friday - New Haven, Connecticut

I missed you.

I'm glad you're back.

I missed you. Thank God you're home.

I have decided we must put an end | to this professor.

Tomorrow is the funeral of his assistant.

It will be his funeral.

Wait until the father leaves, | then cut him into pieces.

10:
00 AM Saturday | Chinatown, New York City

Condolences, "shefu".

A mind is a mirror, a bright light shining.

Be sure to clean it every day.

Allow no dust to cling.

There is no mirror...

there is no dust, there is no darkness.

Only the mind is light.

I think you know what I have to do.

I will wait by the open grave for your return.

"Danger below."

"A river."

This "gwilo" professor | is becoming a problem.

No longer have we among us | Mr. Wu of New York...

and Mr. Ping of Los Angeles.

Yes, the "gwilo" is causing trouble | in Chinatown.

Have we found out more about this "gwilo"?

He's not a cop, a soldier, | or a government agent.

He's like one of us.

What do you mean?

We found out that this "gwilo" professor...
