Men in Black II (2002)

Five years after the events of Men in Black, Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) has assumed civilian life as the postmaster for Truro, Massachusetts and Agent J (Will Smith) continues to work for the MiB, the self-funded New York City-based agency that secretly monitors and regulates extraterrestrials’ activity on Earth. J is largely without a partner, as his former partner Agent L has returned to her former life as a deputy medical examiner Dr. Laurel Weaver (played by Linda Fiorentino in the original MiB movie) and her successors had been expelled from the agency by J due to their unsuitability. While investigating a seemingly routine crime, J uncovers a diabolical plot by Serleena, a shapeshifting Kylothian queen who disguises herself as a model (Lara Flynn Boyle), but resembles a plant-like hydra in her own form. To stop her, J must convince K (who has no memory of his time spent with the MIB, but is the only person alive who knows what is needed to defeat Serleena) to reunite with the MIB before Earth is destroyed.
A large part of the plot centers on Agent J’s relationship with Laura Vasquez (Rosario Dawson), a waitress at a SoHo pizzeria who witnesses Serleena trying to interrogate her boss about the location of the “Light of Zartha” before killing him. Rather than erase her memory according to MIB rules, J allows her to retain it. As Laura becomes increasingly involved in the battle between Serleena and the MIB, she comes to view Agent J as her protector, while he simultaneously falls in love with her. While J tries to deneuralyze K, Serleena breaks into MIB resulting in a lockdown; J and K escape after being flushed from the building. J then takes K to Jack Jeebs (Tony Shalhoub), who built an unofficial deneuralyzer. Although K eventually regains his memory, he reveals that he still has no recollection of the “Light of Zartha” but left himself a series of clues in case he needed to remember. After piecing together the clues, K finally remembers his past with Serleena: 25 years ago, the Zarthan Queen Laurana arrives on Earth to try and hide the Light of Zartha, but the MIB refuses to help due to their neutrality. Serleena arrives to steal the Light, but K activates the Zarthan ship and sends it away. Serleena, believing the Light is on board the ship, chases the said ship, but not before fatally shooting Laurana. K then reveals that the ship was a decoy, and that the Light is still hidden on Earth.
Meanwhile, Serleena frees all of the MIB’s high-security prisoners and uses them as henchmen. Believing that the Light is in Laura’s bracelet, Serleena kidnaps Laura and prepares to send her back to her homeworld. J and K assault MIB headquarters, defeat Serleena’s henchmen, and rescue Laura. However, K warns them that if the Light is not taken off Earth and returned to Zartha, it will explode and destroy the planet. As they make their way to the departure point, Serleena gives chase but is eaten by a giant worm living in the New York subway system. When they reach the departure point, K reveals that Laura is Laurana’s (and possibly K’s) daughter and the actual Light of Zartha. To save Earth and Zartha, Laura reluctantly leaves Earth, much to J’s dismay. Serleena returns to try and capture Laura again, but J and K manage to destroy her for good. To cover up the chaos caused by Serleena’s rampage, K activates a giant neuralyzer hidden in the Statue of Liberty. Now that Laura is gone, K and Agent Zed (the head of MIB) try to console J for his loss, but he answers that he needs no consolation and had accepted her departure without much sorrow.
Two other plot threads relate the interaction of J with Frank the Pug (an extraterrestrial refugee posing as a pug dog, who becomes J’s partner early in the film) and the revelation that K keeps a race of minuscule extraterrestrials inside a storage locker at Grand Central Station, the locker encasing their whole world. At the end of the film, K kicks open a forbidden door to reveal that a much larger locker in an enormous alien version of Grand Central Terminal seems to contain the human world.
