narrator:No more toying. Hu Li CHARGES Carter, who GRABS a ROULETTE WHEEL as a MAKESHIFT SHIELD. She SLICES it in HALF! He's got nowhere to hide.
 She JABS him with the sword. Carter SCREAMS. Falls back against the table, clutching his chest. Hu Li WINDMILLS, kicking a Terra Cotta soldier on top of Carter, but --
 THWACK!
 The DOUBLE-BLADED BAMBOO POLE in its hand ricochets back and she is PIERCED THROUGH THE SHOULDER with the blade. Staring at Carter in stunned disbelief, she drops to her knees.
 Carter walks toward her, considers his options, then KICKS HER IN THE HEAD, knocking her out.
James Carter:「When are you people gonna learn? Don't mess with the brothas!」
narrator:WEAK in the KNEES, Carter looks to the SOUND ON HIS CHEST. He reaches through the slice in his jacket. Instead of a hand covered in blood, it comes out with a THICK WAD OF CASH!
James Carter:「Thank you, Benjamin!」
narrator:Carter runs for the elevator.
 INT. PENTHOUSE SUITE - CONTINUOUS
 Lee is walking toward Ricky Tan, the two men circling Reign's body.


RICKY TAN:「You're just like your father, Lee. All these years hiding behind his badge. I wanted to help him, to share with him, but he was too afraid of change. When you think about it, I didn't really kill him. I just put him out of his misery.」
LEE:「Put the plates down. It's over.」
RICKY TAN:「I don't think it's over. There are casinos all over this country. Let me make you a rich man, Lee. Don't make the same mistake he did.」
narrator:Ricky glances at the gun in Reign's belt.
LEE:「If you reach for that gun, I'm going to kill you.」
RICKY TAN:「Don't you remember? I'm already dead.」
narrator:Ricky makes a play for the gun, but Lee is much too fast, taking the gun and pushing Ricky against the wall just as Carter bursts in the room.
James Carter:「Hey, Ricky, how's it going man? What's up, Lee?」
narrator:Lee has the gun pressed to Tan's head. We've never seen him like this before.
RICKY TAN:「Would you like me to tell you how your father died?」
James Carter:「Lee, you okay?」


narrator:Lee doesn't respond. He keeps an eye on Ricky.
RICKY TAN:「He never begged for his life. Or tried to make a deal. All that he asked me, just seconds before I pulled the trigger, was that I promise not to kill you.」
narrator:Lee's finger is on the trigger -- he wants to pull the trigger but can't.
James Carter:「Lee, wait a second. It's not worth it, man. He's making you do this.」
LEE:「It's worth it to me.」
RICKY TAN:「Do you have it in you, Lee? Or are you gonna spend the rest of your life hiding like your father?」
James Carter:「C'mon, Lee. He's going to jail. You won, now just put the gun down.」
narrator:Lee is trying to pull the trigger, but he can't.
RICKY TAN:「That's what I thought.」


narrator:Tan takes the black bag and swings it toward Lee -- the plates hit him across the face and knock him down.
 THE GUN IS LOOSE
 Tan reaches for it and is about to pull the trigger when:
 Lee and Carter come flying at him TOGETHER. Both KICKING HIM SQUARE IN THE CHEST.
 Tan falls back, SMASHING THROUGH THE WINDOW. Lee tries to grab Tan's hand, their fingers touch for a split second.
 But Tan pulls his hand away and falls 20 STORIES to the street below.
 EXT. STREET - NIGHT
 A TAXI is parked out front. Tan's BODY SLAMS on the roof. SMASHING THROUGH A SIGN ON TOP THAT READS: "EVERYBODY'S A WINNER!"
 INT. PENTHOUSE SUITE - NIGHT
 Lee and Carter are looking down at the street, both relieved it's finally over. Carter puts his hand on Lee's shoulder.
James Carter:「I don't know about you, but I need a wine cooler.」
narrator:As they turn to the door -- Hu Li is walking toward them, bleeding and half-dead. She has ANOTHER BOMB IN HER HAND. This one twice the size of the one from earlier.
HU LI:「in Chinese) We'll go together, Inspector.」
James Carter:「Please tell me she just asked for a ride to the airport.」


narrator:Hu Li hits the switch - starts to smile. Lee and Carter turn and RUN for the OPEN WINDOW.
 EXT. BUILDING - NIGHT
 Lee and Carter DIVE OUT THE WINDOW, grab a cable just as the PENTHOUSE BLOWS!
 The FIREBALL SHOOTS out as they start to slide down the side of the hotel.
 THEY SCREAM AS THE CABLE BREAKS.
 Lee and Carter SWING toward a HUGE "GRAND OPENING" BANNER. They flip under it, do a loop before they SLAM AGAINST THE SIGN.
 It's KNOCKED LOOSE and they fall with it toward VEGAS BLVD.
 Lee and Carter hang on as they drop to the street. A HUGE TRUCK speeds toward them as they hold on for their lives. The entire STRIP SPEEDING toward them.
LEE:「I can't believe I flew ten-thousand miles for this shit!!」
narrator:They lift their feet just as the TRUCK PASSES. The sign dips and they fall straight down into the open sunroof of a LARGE STRETCH LIMO.
 INT. LIMOUSINE - CONTINUOUS
 Lee and Carter land in the back. Slam into their seats and try to catch their breath. The TWO MEN STARTING TO LAUGH when they realize they're alive!
James Carter:「We made it, man.」
LEE:「No problem.」


narrator:Lee and Carter look up to see the VERSACE SALESMAN and FOUR OF HIS FRIENDS sitting in the back of the limo staring at them. The BOYS are all drinking champagne and dressed for a night on the town.
 VERSACE SALESMAN Well, there is a God after all.
 Lee and Carter exchange looks as the limo stops in front of the hotel.
 LIMO DRIVER Here we are. The Red Dragon hotel.
 In front of the hotel WE SEE FIRE TRUCKS, AMBULANCE, POLICE CARS and Isabella and Sterling arresting TWENTY TRIADS.
 VERSACE SALESMAN We're all going gambling and then to see Siegried and Roy. I hope you two are feeling lucky!
 INT. LAS VEGAS AIRPORT - NIGHT
 Lee is talking with a bandaged Isabella, who is standing with Sterling and several other SECRET SERVICE AGENTS. Lee and Isabella hug goodbye. As she walks off to board her plane, Lee slowly walks back to Carter who is smiling.
James Carter:「I saw that. She kissed you, didn't she? You played it cool, though. Walking away, never looking back.」
LEE:「She's going home to New York. I need some ice.」
narrator:Lee and Carter watch as she gets on the plane.
James Carter:「That your gate down there?」


LEE:「Yes.」
James Carter:「I'm this way. I guess this is goodbye.」
LEE:「I guess so. Thank you, Carter.」
James Carter:「You take care of yourself, Lee.」
narrator:Carter steps back, BOWS TO LEE. Lee SHAKES CARTER'S HAND like a brother. The two men smile. Turn to walk away.
LEE:「Carter, wait. There's something I want you to have.」
narrator:Lee pulls a BADGE from his pocket. Hands it to Carter.
James Carter:「Your father's badge? No way, man. I can't take this.」
LEE:「It's okay. I can finally let it go.」
narrator:Carter takes the badge. Smiles.
James Carter:「In that case, I got something for you. I picked it up at the hotel.」
narrator:Carter pulls out a WAD OF CASH.
LEE:「What is this?」
James Carter:「About fifty grand. I won it at the tables.」
LEE:「No, Carter. I can't take this.」
James Carter:「It's okay, I got lots more.」
narrator:Carter pulls out another wad of cash.


James Carter:「They owe us, man. That's the least they can do.」
LEE:「This money is evidence.」
James Carter:「Come on, Lee. Stop being a cop for five minutes and live it up. There must be something you want.」
narrator:Lee looks back toward Isabella.
LEE:「I always wanted to go to Madison Square Garden. See the Knicks play.」
James Carter:「New York City?」
LEE:「First class.」
James Carter:「The Plaza Hotel?」
LEE:「A little Mu-shu.」
James Carter:「Some Kung-Pao?」
narrator:They look at each other, smile.
James Carter:「I could use a little vacation.」
