Get down on your knees!
Listen carefully, Jackie and Alan were close friends,
but later clashed because of Laura.
Jackie left the band to start his career,
as a high society Robin Hood,
calling himself Asian Hawk.
What has this to do with the last
3 pieces of the Armour of God?
A holy sword was recently put up for auction.
It was stolen by him, from an African tribe.
If he can get the holy sword,
he can get the remaining 2 pieces.
I see.
Let's hire him,
to get the other pieces then..
Idiot, let him continue.
We can hire him,
to do that,
but we don't have to pay him.
What do you mean?
Laura is now a very famous fashion designer.
She's going to be at a fashion show in Paris.
She is Alan's girlfriend,
but Jackie still cares for her.
Get Laura for me.
Can you feel a rumbling?
It's building up like thunder inside you.
Feel the earth, it is quaking.
The air itself is shaking around you.
Shadows on the room.
Someone's coming very soon, you will meet him.
The midnight rider comes for you.
Now is the time.
You know it's right.
It is your destiny.
There will be no more turning back.
So take your place in history.
When he rides, rides, rides across the sky.
You know that something has got to change.
When he rides, rides, rides out of the night.
Don't be afraid.
When he comes calling your name.
When he rides, rides, rides into your life.
You know that nothing will be the same..
Don't try to hide.
You can't escape the fate he brings to you.
Midnight Rider, Midnight Rider.
When he rides, rides, rides across the sky.
You know that something has got to change..
When he rides, rides, rides out of the night.
Don't be afraid.
When he comes calling your name.
When he rides, rides, rides into your life.
You know that nothing will be the same..
Don't try to hide.
You can't escape the fate he brings to you.
Midnight Rider, Midnight Rider.

I proudly announce
the conclusion of
the bid at 400,000.
You did well to have won.
You did better to have gotten such a good price.
Yes.
What a beautiful car.
Let me give you a lift.
OK.
Stop.
What is it?
The car's great,
but the wind's too strong.
I'd rather take my own car.
I can drive more slowly.
Go!
Thank you.
Room 206, please.
Mr Chen, some messages for you.
Thank you.
So many.
Please call back. It's urgent.
Help! Please call my space phone.
I'm booking a flight.
I'm trying to get a seat. Wait for me.
I'm flying to your side to seek help.
I'm waiting at the airport. Don't go away.
Where on earth have you been?
I'm waiting at the lobby. It's urgent.
Come at once. Only you can help me,
Jackie.
Laura's been kidnapped?
How much do they want?
If money can fix it, I wouldn't need you.
If money can't fix it, I'm not needed either.
I'm not a volunteer.
They want the Armour of God,
as ransom.
The Armour of God?
You said it's worth a lot of money.
I've just sold the holy sword.
Buy it back for me at once.
The Armour of God consists of five pieces.
but I only know the whereabouts of three.
Where?
Two were sold to a Count.
The last was sold to a lady.
You can get it back then.
Why should I help you?
What a silly question.
Do you care for Laura?
Don't take advantage of my feelings.
What about the feelings
between us?
What feelings between us?
What? We grew up together.
We formed a band together and chased the same girl.
We were
like brothers.
Don't you remember?
You always bullied me.
You said my voice was bad.
When I dated Laura,
you stole my pants.
Have you no shame?
So you still hate me,
because you lost Laura?
I didn't lose her,
but I don't want this
to affect our friendship.
So, you do think there's friendship between us?
There was, but not now.
So you suffered greatly
because of her.
I shouldn't have come to you.
I'll try some other way to rescue her.
I just hope she's still alive.
Have you finished the American ginseng I gave you?
Yes, two years ago.
I like the stamps you sent me.
I came in such a rush,
I didn't bring anything much.
Just some preserved bean curd that you like.
It's hot.
Just forget that I came.
I know I'm stubborn.
You're not.
I'm stubborn.
OK, you are stubborn.
Let's not argue any more.
How do you plan to rescue Laura?
I'm not sure I want to.
Why?
You may not know it,
but what I value most
is our friendship.
I don't want to lose you,
because of Laura.
Goodbye.
Hold it!
How can we contact Laura's kidnappers?
They've given me a map.
They want me to bring the three pieces of the Armour of God
to a small town,
where we exchange for Laura.
Let's try to borrow the two
from the Count,
then get in touch with the lady buyer of the sword.
Do you know what it says?
I think...
You don't know then?
Is there a bell?
Anybody home?
The house is over there.
Stop.
Calm down.
What now?
What? I'm scared.
Excuse me, please follow me.
Now I know what that sign says.
Even a moron knows now.
The owner of this house must hate deer.
Deer hunting is a European pastime.
Don't be afraid.
He's leashed.
Please come with me.
So you need these pieces
to avert a world disaster?
It's not that serious.
The fact is we need them,
as ransom for my girlfriend
or they'll kill her. lsn't that serious enough?
To me, every life
is equally as important...
or unimportant.
If I lend you these
to save her life,
I'd have to donate all my property,
to save the countless starving in Africa.
I'll return them to you,
once we've saved her.
Can you guarantee that?
Yes, I will.
But I have not a reason to trust you.
I'll pay you for them.
Why would I be interested in your money?
Let's not get discouraged.
Would you care
to see my antiques?
I'm not interested in antiques.
I do take an interest in them.
Some we're one of a kind.
Please follow me.
This is amazing!
This looks more like a small museum.
In fact, museums all over the world
borrow many collections for exhibitions.
Security must
be tight here.
I keep fifty dogs and three leopards.
They'll keep away intruders.
Why should I need guards?
Show me your two pieces,
of the Armour of God.
They're over there.
You can't leave valuables lying around like that!
To me, they are a memento to history.
But not everyone shares my opinion.
What's the origin of these?
Are they linked to my girlfriend's abduction?
Sit down...
They say that before Christ...
evil was rampant.
The true God that stands for justice,
waged a holy war
against these forces.
Finally the true God won of course.
The weaponry they used is called,
the Armour of God.
Recently evil cults have staged a comeback.
They believe that
by destroying the Armour of God,
the religion of the true God will perish,
and they'll prosper and rule the world.
That really defies logic.
Religion exists only,
when there is faith.
When it brings peace, happiness, and well-being.
It's the force of righteousness.
Who kidnapped my girlfriend?
Sorry, I can't answer that.
It's getting late.
Hawk, I didn't expect your visit.
I have a party to attend.
Stay
for a few days,
and let me entertain you.
No need...
It's the most beautiful place
I've ever seen.
We'd love to stay.
Splendid, it's settled then.
Tell my butler if you need anything.
Take good care of my two guests tonight.
Just make yourselves at home.
Please follow me.
This is for you. Thank you.
We've only just finished supper.
Why did you order so much steak?
It's for the dogs,
and leopards.
What do you mean?
Hawks always take,
without the owner's consent.
What? You expect me to steal?
As he said, it's not guarded.
We're his guests.
He told us to make ourselves at home.
So you steal from your own home?
Do you want to see
Laura killed?
Of course not.
You want her
to be killed by others
because you can't win her love?
You really are crafty
What?
I'm saying don't steal.
Not that I won't help you.
When are you going to do something?
We're living like kings.
Have you spared a thought for Laura?
Don't think I feel any better.
But,
stealing won't work.
Isn't it worth trying?
You're more stupid than you look.
You think you can just take it?
I'm ready to borrow
the Armour of God from the Count,
whatever he demands.
Why don't we steal it and return it later?
Isn't that more clean-cut?
I already said no. I won't help.
I won't let you steal it either!
OK, I give up.
I never really knew you until now!
Good night!
The Count wants to see you sir.
Please.
Quiet.
Are you all right?
I was nearly the dog's dinner.
Don't worry.
They won't attack
without orders,
from me or my daughter.
Do something.
Hurry up, Out!
So it's you.
This is my daughter, May.
We met at the auction.
So you know each other?
That's better.
I found this.
Is this the one you talked about?
It is.
This is the man who got someone
to compete to buy back
his own sword?
I didn't know she was your daughter
or I wouldn't have done it.
So you were up to no good.
Daddy treated you as guests.
He did that only to save his girlfriend.
I swear, I will return
them to you intact,
after rescuing my girlfriend.
What's that?
It's not an ice-cream van.
Show the police in. Yes, sir!
I'd like let it go, but the police...
You've captured me. Do anything you like.
Have you got the right to speak?
No, but you have.
In what way can you help me?
Go on, be nice to him.
Do you want the Armour of God?
Go and take care of the police. Yes, sir!
The Armour of God has five pieces.
The kidnappers only asked for three.
So they've got the other two.
You're smart. That coincides with my information.
If you lend me your pieces
I'll guarantee their return,
and I'll get the other pieces
to make one complete set of Armour.
It's a deal.
But, I have one condition.
I go with you.
No problem.
Can't two men take care of a woman?
Daddy.
Okay.
You must guarantee she returns safe and sound.
I only guarantee her safe return,
not her sound return.
We'll see about the rest.
Splendid.
What is this?
You wouldn't like it.
Let me try.
Help yourself.
There's no point in worrying.
You won't see the kidnappers until tomorrow.
I'll go with you.
Why are you staring at me like that?
You think women are good for nothing.
I was runner-up in last year's European Women's shooting.
You'll be safe with me.
Only two women
took part in that contest.
What is this?
Chinese butter.
It tastes funny.
It turns into cheese when you keep it.
Jackie, this stuff is rotten.
I know.
Why are you eating it then?
I'm eating butter.
Did they give you any special sign?
No.
They only told me to come to the town,
with the armour in a black bag.
They told me to come alone.
I can't accompany you then.
I'll keep an eye
out for any suspects.
Let me jockey for a position.
You look, ok.
She is very attractive.
You'd risk Laura's death
with a fake?
We risk getting robbed with a real one.
Don't hand it over,
until we know Laura's safe.
Let's go.
Go alone, I'll keep watch.
No looking at the ladies, now.
I won't.
Miss, our religion has many advantages.
I'll consider it.
Do you believe in a Creator?
What? I have no religious faith.
Believe and this person shall be saved.
Laura.
Next time remember to pay the balance, ok?
The Armour of God?
Right here.
But I want to know she's safe.
It's a fake.
My friend's got it,
but only if...
Don't try anything!
Come over.
Jackie, stop fighting. Come here.
Safety zone.
Keep away, it's dangerous.
Dangerous? Come over.
Get him! Get him!
She's a nuisance.
Let's go..
No, we must interrogate them.
Go ahead...
Here are those two Chinese.
Let's go.
You haven't interrogated them.
Go ahead.
I said bring the genuine one.
Now what will happen to Laura?
Stop talking. It won't help her.
I can't even talk, now!
How are we going to find Laura?
Someone's coming to tell us.
Watch out!
Go now.
Look up there.
Sit still.
They're getting close. Do something.
What's this?
Hold on.
Bump him...
They're coming.
Let's go.
Great, we got away from them.
What are they doing?
Trying to hit us.
What now?
Hold tight.
Tight?
What are you doing?
Good, good.
This car's crowded.
It was designed for me alone.
Goodbye.
Please sit down.
Three beers.
OK, right away.
What? You asked us here for beers?
Next time ask what we want first.
Not everyone likes beer.
I ordered all three for myself only.
900 dinars for three beers.
Keep the change.
Thank you.
Keep the change.
I'd like to ask some questions.
My answers are very expensive.
How much?
US$100 for each question.
Normally I ask questions everywhere I go.
I ask this and that.
I answer all questions.
I saw some robed people
in the square.
Who are they?
The disciples of a nearby missionary.
Where can I find them?
On the hill.
That's no way to spend money.
What are their
other activities?
They come down on the first
of every month for supplies,
and take girls with them.
What sort of girls?
Don't answer that.
Let's go.
Bye-bye.
Do you know what they are?
Prostitutes, of course.
We must spend $100 more.
Tell us the route to go up.
Sorry, I don't know.
Thank you.
We'll come again next month.
Thank you.
Bye-bye.
Hurry up.
Drop it.
Why are you here?
I'm a prostitute.
This is dangerous.
What will you do after getting there?
Don't worry. At worst I'll die.
No need to die. I'll show you how to be a whore.
It's nice to see you.
Come down.
Come down...
Be careful.
Thank you.
Be careful.
This way, please.
