While waiting at the bar, he meets Pilot who tells him to go to the men's restroom where he is searched and told by Bodysearch Boss that his boss is looking forward to meeting him. Liu Jian then follows Bodysearch Boss into the kitchen and sees Richard and the Twins beating a Chinese man.

A French Minister holds a meeting between Richard, Minister Tang, Chen and Tang's Assistants. Richard asks about Liu Jian and Chen tells him that Liu Jian is their best inspector. After the Chinese delegation leaves, Richard tells Richard's Right Hand Man to follow the Chinese delegation and tap their phones. Liu Jian then goes back to Uncle Tai's restaurant.
Jessica visits Richard and reminds him that he promised if she did one more thing for him he would get the papers so she could leave with Isabel, but Richard and Max just inject her with heroin.
