Character

Wu Han

loyal brave watchful resigned

Wu Han acts as Indiana Jones's trusted ally in Shanghai's criminal underworld. Posing as a scarred-cheek waiter at Lao Che's nightclub, he watches Short Round amid the crowd, then intervenes during the negotiation over Nurhachi's ashes by pressing a pistol to Lao Che's spine. Chen shoots him dead from behind with a silenced pistol. Dying in Indy's arms, Wu Han offers resigned reassurance with final words like 'I go first into the great Unknown Mystery.' His death devastates Indy, sparks retaliation, and lingers as emotional weight during the escape when Indy tells Short Round Wu Han won't join them on the plane.
