Synopsis: Ten years earlier, Logan's arriving at Hong Kong and he's dating Ai-Chia Wong. Her father, Tak-Wah Wong, is a film producer. She's working for him as scriptwriter and Logan's becoming his consultant.
One month after his arrival in Hong Kong, Logan's meeting McLeish, a fifty years old hired killer, calling himself the White Ghost. This last's in fact hired by a concurrent producer to kill Tak-Wah Wong. McLeish's finally killing him three months later with his ivory knife. Logan's causing an explosion on a boat where he thinks McLeish dies.
Nowadays, in the East Village, Manhattan. While returning at his apartment, Logan's finding a killed homeless and an ivory knife planted on his bedside table. By withdrawing it, the x-man's arming a bomb. He's barely escaping the explosion : Logan knows that McLeish is alive and that he wants him dead.
Another take: In the past, Wolverine spends time with McLeish, a Scottish hitman, in Hong Kong. After McLeish kills the movie producer father of Wolverine’s girlfriend, Wolverine seeks revenge. After breaking his back and triggering an explosion that sends McLeish to the bottom of the harbor, Wolverine assumes he’s dead. In the present, Wolverine returns home to his apartment to discover the body of a local homeless man. A bomb with admantium shards explodes, leading Wolverine to question if McLeish is still alive.
