While investigating the murder of a Zarthan pizzeria owner named Ben, he learns Serleena has returned after discovering the Light is still on Earth and recruited a two-headed alien named Scrad and Charlie to help her find it. Developing an attraction towards a witness named Laura, J breaks MiB protocol and chooses not to neuralyze her. Investigating further, J later discovers what K did. </p><p>Due to K having been neuralyzed five years ago before retiring, J eventually convinces him to come back. Upon accepting, J brings K to the MiB's headquarters to use the deneuralyzer machine to restore his memories. However, Serleena, Scrad, and Charlie mount an assault, forcing the pair to escape and find Jack Jeebs, an alien pawn shop owner who built an illegal deneuralyzer. Though the machine works, K fails to remember the Light as he had neuralyzed himself and those memories have not returned. Nonetheless, he left himself a series of clues. After locating a locker key at the pizzeria and leaving Laura with a group of alien worms for her safety, the pair head to <a href="/wiki/Grand_Central_Terminal" title="Grand Central Terminal">Grand Central Terminal</a>, where they find a locker containing a society of tiny aliens who worship K as their deity and developed a religion around a video store membership card. </p><p>Visiting the store, the owner shows them a fictionalized version of the MiB's previous encounter with the Light and Serleena.

The pair head back to the worms, only to learn Serleena attacked them and kidnapped her. Joined by the worms, the agents infiltrate and retake MiB headquarters before escaping to return the Light. Serleena chases them throughout New York until J tricks her into being eaten by Jeff, a gigantic worm-like alien living in an abandoned <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_Subway" title="New York City Subway">subway</a>. Guided by Laura's bracelet, the agents soon locate a Zarthan transport ship, where K reveals Laura is the Light and Lauranna's daughter before convincing J to let her go so she can save Earth and Zartha.
