Five years after the events of the earlier film, Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) has assumed civilian life as a small town s postmaster while Agent J (Will Smith) continues to work for the Men in Black, the self funded New York City based agency that secretly monitors and regulates extraterrestrials activity on Earth. J is largely without a partner, his former partner Agent L having returned to her former task as a deputy medical examiner and her successors having been expelled from the agency by J himself 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 Lernean hydra in her own form. To stop her, J must convince K who has no memory of his time spent with the agency, but is the only person alive who knows what is needed to defeat Serleena to reunite with the MIB before Earth is destroyed.[/center]
