(French accent) Jackie.
Amber, it is good to see you again.
I'm so pleased you could come.
The painting is right through here.
It is not listed in our official inventory.
It might be quite valuable, if it is authentic.
That is what I am here for.
Northern song dynasty, 11th century,
ink and pale color on silk. It's beautiful.
An authentic Chinese masterpiece.
C'est formidable.
One moment while I fetch the authentication forms.
Hey!
Put that back.
Huh?
Yaah!
All right, Mr. fold-up man,
thank you for showing the painting some fresh air,
but I will take that back now.
No!
Not fair.
You claim a fold-up man stole ze painting,
slipped between the bars,
transformed into a bird, and flew away?
I'll show you.
He bend like this, folded like that,
twisted over, then again, then he look just like this.
Uh, but more bird-shaped.
Monsieur chan, I will thank you
not to destroy my notes, s'il vous plait.
Heh heh.
Hi, Jackie.
Jade, you were supposed to be taking a tour of Paris.
T'cha. You've obviously
never been on a tour bus with uncle.
You drive too fast.
How can uncle see the sights?
Slow down.
I told him I was having lunch with you.
He bought it.
What's with the look?
Did that painting turn out to be bogus?
No. It was a true masterpiece.
But a fold-up man stole it, turned into a bird,
and flew away.
Fold-up man.
That is what the police said, too.
Ah, poor Amber. She will be in trouble with her bosses.
I must retrieve the painting somehow.
Lucky you got me.
I read in a comic book once...
To catch a thief, you must think like a thief.
But I am no good at thinking like a thief.
Yeah, I know.
That's why I recommend we find some expert help.
Viper!
Jade.
What's with him?
Nothing. He's just having a hissy
about you being a bad influence on me because you're a thief.
Former thief.
Now I'm a security consultant for the becktul corporation.
And Jade tells me you need some assistance.
No, thank you.
I have enough problems with one criminal.
Oh, come on, Jackie. Viper's a good guy now.
Here, viper.
The painting stealer left this behind.
Where did you find that?
Ah, yes. They call him origami.
Huh?
You know this guy?
I've heard only a rumor of a mastermind
who leaves origami animals at all his thefts,
like a calling card.
And can he fold himself into different shapes?
I've never heard that.
There is one person who might know more.
But...
But what?
But you don't want my help.
The fox. This is home base for every crook in Paris.
The proprietor is an old friend.
Cool. A wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Come on. Jade...
If I let you come inside, you must do everything I say.
First, touch nothing. Second, see nothing.
Third, talk to...
Hey! Ooh.
Excuse me. Just passing through.
Waah... My bad. Gooh! Do not get up.
I am new here.
I do not like this place.
(French accent) Viper, I heard you went legit.
You heard right.
Listen, fox, I need some 411.
What can you tell me about this?
Ah, oui. Origami.
He only steals the finest of far-east art.
They say he has magical powers.
Cool.
The way I heard it told,
he was just a small-timer:
Vending machines, picking pockets,
little penny-ante heists,
until one day,
he found an enchanted square of paper
with the power. To transform the paper...
Well, let's just say it remade him.
Now he has some kind of folding power,
if you believe that sort of thing,
which I don't.
But it is true. I saw origami with my own eyes.
(Gasps) Did you see his henchmen:
The easter bunny. And the tooth fairy as well?
That was useless.
I already knew the thief could fold up.
Yeah, but now we also know
he only steals. The finest fareast art.
Hey, the kid's a good listener.
How come you never listen to the things I say?
For example, stay with uncle.
Oh, man.
Kuniko kasahara of kasahara exports.
He possesses more far-east art than the far east itself.
It's just a matter of time before origami shows up to rob the place.
Look, we have to warn Mr. kasahara.
Have you never heard of a stakeout?
That means we hide and keep watch,
with the emphasis on hide.
Hey!
Hello, Jade. Glad you could make it.
May I help you?
Mr. kasahara, sir,
your art collection is in danger.
There is a thief who, uh, is very resourceful.
I would like to offer my assistance.
Please leave my doorstep, mister...
Chan. Jackie chan.
Go away, chan Jackie chan.
I will not pay for your protection.
My protection? I'm not trying to blackmail anyone.
Huh? Viper?
Ahh, Jade?
You are supposed to be with uncle.
T'cha.
You are driving too slow.
I want to see all of Paris before I get old.
Don't have a cow.
I told him I was meeting you for a movie.
Shh! Someone's coming.
Oh, it's just that kasahara dude.
Jade should not be running around rooftops with thieves.
I'm not a thief.
Better she learns how to catch bad guys from a pro.
Jade does not need to know how to catch bad guys.
But you do.
Whoa, he's folded. He's origam... aah.
Ah, another masterpiece for my eyes only.
It's him. Kasahara is origami.
That painting does not belong to you.
Ah, Mr. chan Jackie chan.
Return the painting to the university.
Why? So it can end up in a museum?
Aah!
No more games. I know who you are.
Origami.
I'm sure we both agree there is nothing to be gained
by my denying it!
Jackie! Jade, wait.
Jumping into a fight before you're needed
usually makes things worse.
But...
Ok, now he needs help, but you stay here.
Oh, man.
Ow!
Ooh. Paper cut. That's the worst.
Both: Yaah!
Unh.
Jackie, swords.
Scissor beats paper.
Police. Stay where you are.
Detective, I found the fold-up man. He's over here.
What is this madness?
Mr. kasahara, sir, are you all right?
This man is crazy. He is dangerous.
He destroyed my gallery
and attacked me with my own 12th-century swords.
No! He's lying.
He changed back to a normal man.
It's true.
Kuniko kasahara is origami, the master thief.
Mmm, are you not a thief yourself, huh?
La viper, I believe.
Uh, run.
Huh?
(Panting)
After them!
Jade: Well, now we know kasahara built such a large collection
of far-east art.
But now the police think I am crazy and dangerous.
You know what we have to do.
We have to catch origami in the act.
You will stay with uncle.
Breaking into the louvre.
I've been planning this in my head for years.
Remember, we are here to catch origami.
Do not steal anything.
Don't you trust me?
No, I do not.
Jade?!
T'cha, like a daytime tour with uncle was so much fun,
you thought I'd wanna go on a nighttime one?
It is too dark to see anything.
Is not Paris the city of lights?
Make it brighter.
And I actually told uncle I'd be meeting you at the louvre.
You are a bad influence.
Moi?
Aha. Right where it's supposed to be.
The ming exhibit.
Be careful. Any one of these paintings
could be origami incognito.
There he is! (Alarm sounds)
What?
Whoa.
Bad day, bad day, bad day!
Hyah!
Viper!
I knew she would betray us.
I heard that.
See, Jackie? I told you viper's a good guy now.
Hmm...
Halt! You are all under arrest.
You don't want us.
You want the fold-up man.
Eh, oui, oui, à the paper fold-up man.
I have heard all about it for the last time.
No, no. He is right there.
(Grunting)
(Gasps) A fold-up man.
The urn is too heavy for him to fly away.
S'arreter!
Is this one of those times
when it's better to wait before jumping in?
No.
(Tires squeal)
Oomph. Fine. You take the wheel.
I'll just take this.
(Car horn honking)
Sorry, uncle. I'll see you later.
Don't miss the louvre. Bye-bye.
Stealing a police car. Shame on you.
Didn't you just steal that urn
from Mr. kasahara?
That is different.
Here he comes.
Uh, I can't see anything.
Stop. The tower is closed.
Jade?
I'm fine.
Viper, look after Jade. Call the police.
Wait. Did he just ask me to look after you?
Duh. Jackie likes you.
How about that?
Origami, look at me.
I have a rare porcelain urn from the kilns of jingdezhen.
Ohh.
Come on, come on, come on.
Aah!
Ohh.
Waah!
Uh, wrong floor.
Well, chan Jackie chan,
it appears you are down to 2 options...
Hand over the urn or jump.
The police already know the truth.
They saw you try to fly away.
They will think it was only their eyes playing tricks on them.
No one believes there can be a paper fold-up man.
All right. You win.
Hey! Ohh!
(Grunts)
Ah...
Merci, Jackie.
Was the thief a fold-up man, like you said?
Uh, no. My eyes played tricks on me.
It was just a normal thief.
Just a normal thief, huh?
Then I guess you really didn't need my help.
That is right. No help.
I understand.
Ow.
Do you know how long I was stuck in that bus
with cheese on my face?
I said I was sorry. Ow!
Hey, Jackie... Yes?
Where did you grow up?
I grow up in Hong Kong...
In apartment... With...
French embassy.
My father was a cook, my mother a maid.
So when I was young, I speak perfect French.
The ambassador... She's very good.
She loved me playing with her children.
Except when I sleep, back to behind the kitchen.
