A fight to the death ensues and Lee manages to escape with his partner, Detective James Carter, leaving Jasmine behind. However, she appears again at the climax of the film at the top of the Eiffel Tower. As Carter goes to rescue the tied-up Soo-Yung, Jasmine appears behind them and attempts to drop Soo-Yung from the edge of the tower. Carter grabs the rope in order to prevent her from falling to her death and swings back towards Jasmine, where Soo-Yung manages to high kick her into one of the tower's rotating crank wheels. Screaming in terror, Jasmine is crushed to death (off-screen) and sliced in half by the wheel like an apple pies as a horrified Carter looks on.
