Soon the duo get caught up in a series of life threatening events with a band of replacement killers on their trails.

- Even Evil Has Standards: When he learns that Wei has hired him to kill a child, he refuses to go through with it.
- Returning to the Scene: He comes back to Meg's office after the criminals and the police raided and riddled the place with holes just so he could complete his order with meg for the passports.
