But following some hunches, Lee and Carter fly back to Los Angeles, where they meet meet Secret Service Agent Isabella Molina (Creator/RoselynSanchez) who directs them on how to find the counterfeiters. Like the first movie, she was trying to get them out of her way, but Lee and Carter again find the right chain of evidence that takes them to UsefulNotes/LasVegas and the perfect money-laundering location.

* CulturalTranslation: One scene has Carter talking to a Chinese woman who attempts to sell him a live chicken. At one point, he says "I like 'em dead and deep fried. You ever heard of Popeyes?" Given that Popeyes is a restaurant chain that is non-existent in Quebec, the Canadian French dub has Carter mention St-Hubert instead, which is a popular rotisserie chicken restaurant chain in that province.

* BothSidesHaveAPoint: Lee and Carter have an argument after getting dressed after being stripped butt-naked about how things went down at the massage parlor. Lee is correct that Carter should've listened to him and stay seated while he went to get backup and not go up to Ricky Tan and challenge him, and they would've avoided all trouble. However, Carter also isn't wrong that Lee lied to him about them going to a party at the bar, but are actually undercover and he didn't tell him anything about it, and he only wanted to go on a vacation and not get caught up in another crime-lord busting assignment.
