Five years ago, Ricky Tan bought the press on the black market.
:45:04
Five years ago ? Mm-hmm.
:45:05
That's right before he left the force.
:45:07
Earlier this year, Ricky Tan got a hold of one-of-a-kind swiss-made hundred-dollar plates,
:45:11
and he started printing superbills.
:45:13
that's why Hu Li killed him-- for the plates.
:45:16
and they've printed and shipped one hundred million dollars.
:45:23
There's only one way to spot a fake.
:45:26
They use an optical transfer ink from India that burns red.
:45:29
You see ? Now, the real ink, it burns black.
:45:32
So what in the hell they gonna do with $100 million of phony money ?
:45:36
You know, Carter, I believe you're asking the wrong question.
:45:40
The real question is, where are the plates ?
:45:43
Because if we can find the plates, we can stop the whole operation.
:45:48
- Right ? - Yeah, you're right.
:45:50
Maybe this is where you can help us, guys.
:45:53
Yeah. I mean, Carter, This is your city, right ?
:45:56
Yeah, this is my titty. I mean, this is my city.
:45:59
Great. And Lee, you know Hu Li and the triads, correct ?
:46:04
-Yes. -Great.
:46:05
So can you do me a favor ? Can you find out where Hu Li's keeping the plates ?
:46:10
-That ain't no problem. -Thank you.
:46:12
So welcome aboard, gentlemen.
:46:13
From this moment on, you're officially working for the United States secret service.
:46:21
Secret service agent James Carter.
:46:23
Oh, that sounds good. It's got a nice ring to it, don't it ?
:46:27
I'm tellin' you, Lee, give me six months.
:46:28
Six months and I'm gonna be in Washington, D.C., protectin' the president.
:46:32
We both know you would never take a bullet for someone else.
:46:36
Yeah, but they don't know that.
:46:37
I'm gonna talk to Isabella, see if she can hook somethin' up.
:46:39
seein' the way she was starin' at a brother. - She never even look at you.
:46:44
Just jealous, Lee, 'cause the girl chose me,
:46:46
'cause I'm tall, dark and handsome, and you third-world ugly.
:46:50
I'm not third-world ugly. Women like me.
:46:53
They think I'm cute, like snoopy.
:46:56
Lee, snoopy is six inches taller than you.
