From Paris with Love (2010)
A personal aide to the U.S. ambassador in France, James Reese, has an enviable life in Paris and a beautiful French girlfriend, but his real passion is his side job as a low-level operative for the CIA. Reese wants to become a higher level officer with more responsibilities. As the result of a shortage of officers in France, he is assigned as a partner to operations officer Charlie Wax. Reese’s first test is to have Wax released from airport detention by French Customs when Wax does not want to surrender cans of his favorite energy drink. Despite the apparent triviality of an energy drink that Wax could probably purchase in Paris, Wax continues to verbally abuse French Customs until Reese places a Diplomatic Mail sticker on Wax’s luggage containing the energy drink, which makes them immune from customs and quarantine requirements.
Once in the car, Wax apologizes for his behavior while opening the tins and revealing the concealed pieces of his personal SIG Sauer P226 X-Five Lightweight, which he refers to as “Mrs. Jones”. Wax explains that he has been sent to Paris to investigate a Triad drug ring at least indirectly responsible for the death of a woman who happened to be the niece of the Secretary of Defense. During the investigation, which leads to a French-Chinese Triad run restaurant and a Triad warehouse which Wax raids, he reveals that there was no overdose—their goal is to trace the money back to a circle of Pakistani terrorists.
