was once one of the greatest thieves | in Shanghai, New York and Paris.

He specialized in valuable paintings | and priceless Chinese artifacts.

He was known as the "Goei", or the "Ghost."

Some thought he had died, | but he had disappeared.

In 1985 he returned to the United States | and was arrested.

He served seven years in a Federal prison.

Using his expertise in Chinese artifacts...

he used his prison stay to earn himself | a doctorate in Chinese archeology.

When he got out, he created a new identity | and became a professor.

Tang Zhili, go to New York | and take care of him.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Sir, I work for an international | business conglomerate.

We believe you might have an interest | in interfering in our business.

- Our paths have crossed before. | - Have they?

If you're wondering how and why...

certain unpleasant things | have happened to you in the past.

So, I'm here to make you an offer. | Leave us alone...

and we'll leave you alone.

Consider it done. | I'll never think of you guys again...

lead a humble, quiet life, | and I'll be on my way.

Good. Because if you don't...

we will kill your dog...

we will kill you...

and then we will kill your wife.

"The crane."

Maya, come!

Tommie, you know what I think?

I think our archeology professor | has got a mind at digging his own grave.

Guess he's not digging it deep enough.

- This looks like self-defense to me. | - No, don't get me wrong.

I don't want him arrested.

I think our boy is just starting to party.

Who were those people? Who are you?

I'm sorry.

I don't know who those people are. | But I'm gonna find out.

You know the dead girl's father, | Luo Dazhong?

He used to be one | of the world's leading masters in "chi kung".

Really?

This is so weird.

There's no record on the professor | before 1984.

Yeah. Grey.

We're on our way. Get your coat.

The professor's house | just went up in flames.

08 AM Monday - Luo Dazhong's Home | Greenwich, Connecticut

Your daughter, my wife, both dead.

I came here to make you a promise.

Within one week I'll avenge their deaths, | before the funeral of my wife.

I think you know how hard I've tried | to put my past behind me.

It hasn't worked very well.

They say, "Kill one to warn a hundred."

I might have to kill a hundred to warn one.

They say when one sets out on revenge | to first dig two graves.

I know you know that meaning. | But I promise you one thing:

The souls of our enemies will be | the ashes and dust gone in the sky...

before the funeral of our loved ones. | That's a promise.
