Quick recap

Five years later, J is one of MIB's best agents, but he tends to neuralyze partners he finds weak. Serleena, a shapeshifting alien, returns to Earth after the Light of Zartha. Only Agent K knows where it is, but he was neuralyzed when he retired and now works at a post office in Truro, Massachusetts. J brings him back. With clues K left for himself, an alien pawnbroker and Laura, a witness J takes a liking to, the pair try to find the Light before Earth is destroyed. Laura is the Zarthan princess herself, and J grieves the lost relationship.
