Disgraced and guilt-ridden, Lee and Carter are ordered off the investigation, and Lee is informed that he will be sent back to Hong Kong. Sang later phoned the consul, angrily telling him that the ransom has been increased from $50 million to $70 million, and threatened to kill Soo-Yung if anything else goes wrong. They fight off Juntao's men long enough to escape. This leads to Carter being captured, but Lee rescues him after disguising himself as one of the waiters from the restaurant. Sang closes the monitor and he and his men menacingly stare down Carter. Carter suddenly sees Griffin on the security monitor outside the restaurant, but does not know that he is Juntao. He orders them to get Soo-Yung out of the building and tells Sang to make sure that Lee and Carter do not leave the restaurant alive.Ĭarter is brought up to meet with Sang and his men. Juntao tells him to hold it and with a scowl on his face he sees Lee on the security monitor sitting at a table. Sang sees Carter on the security camera and orders his henchman to bring him to them. Upstairs, the waitress walks up to Sang telling him that someone was looking for a man named Juntao. He orders the waitress to tell Juntao to come see him. Carter later enters the restaurant, posing as a lawyer and pretends to look for Juntao. Sang orders the consul by phone to take the ransom money he demanded behind the restaurant, reminding him that he has twenty nine minutes left. Later, Juntao and Sang are hiding out at the Foo Chow Restaurant in Chinatown. This brings them to Clive, where they learn from him that Juntao was the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Soo-Yung. Lee and Carter soon learn from Carter's colleague, Detective Tania Johnson, that the detonator was a remote that can blow up explosives like C4, which was the explosive Carter had not recovered while arresting bomb maker Clive Cobb earlier in the film. Sang drops one of the detonators that Juntao had given him, but Lee and Carter recovered it after Sang escaped again. When Sang kills some FBI agents that were tricked into going to a drop point in a building that was rigged to explode, Lee sees him coming out of a hiding place and chases him inside a building with Carter following them. Carter takes up Sang's ransom demand of $50 million and poorly arranges a drop. Under Juntao's orders, Sang phones the consul later that night, only to find himself talking to L.A.P.D Detective James Carter, who he mistakes for an FBI agent with Carter playing along. However, as Soo-Yung attempted to run away, she was picked up by a motorcycle henchman of Sang and was dragged into a white van. Sang attempts to after he kills Soo-Yung's bodyguard and driver, but she fought back long enough to escape. Juntao later goes to Los Angeles and to get revenge against Han and Lee orders Sang to kidnap Han's daughter, Soo-Yung. At a dinner party to celebrate Consul Han's departure to the states, Lee whispers to Han about foiling Juntao's plot and Han announces that Lee defeated Juntao by eliminating his criminal organization and reclaimed artifacts from five thousands years of China's history. Sang escapes from the harbor, but Lee managed to foil Juntao's plan. While Sang and his henchman were down at the harbor for the smuggling, Lee, who is leading a raid at the docks to find and arrest Juntao, confronts Sang and demands the whereabouts of Juntao, though Sang jokingly declares that Juntao is everywhere. Before the events detailed below, Griffin under his Juntao name sent his right-hand man, Sang, down to the harbor to acquire and catalog priceless pieces of Chinese culture to smuggle them out of the country. During the British ruler ship of Hong Kong, Griffin who was a Police Commander and Chinese Consul Solon Han were close friends and were Lee's superiors of the Hong Kong Police Force as they were investigating Juntao's recent activities. When Detective Inspector Lee and his partner were investigating Juntao, they were presumably involved in an ambush and his partner was killed by Juntao in the process. When Lee foiled his operation, he threatened Chinese Consul Solon Han by abducting his daughter and forcing him to give him millions of dollars as ransom. He was a Triad's leader that smuggled priceless pieces of Chinese culture out of the country. Thomas Griffin, more commonly known as Juntao, is the main antagonist of the first Rush Hour film. Griffin's last words before he fell to his death into the fountain below And then in one fell swoop, it was taken away from me. I worked most of my life to acquire and catalog these priceless pieces that you see before you. You know, before the change-over, most of this exhibition was in the hands of a single private collector. "Consul Han, six blocks of C4 are wired to your daughter in a car outside.
