China Strike Force (2000) - full transcript
A young Chinese Security Officer, Darren, is called for Team 808, which fights against the smuggling of drugs and corruption. Noriko, a Japanese Interpol officer, collaborates with Darren for the destruction of a large international drug cartel. At the same time, a senior government officer's daughter is suspected of corruption.
Damn it, Darren, look at me!
You know something Alex?
I like your hair that color
Yeah? Right?
Attention!
Do any of you even care that
the hostage was endangered?
You were brilliant, Alex
Great surveillance
teamwork, improvisation...
And handle unexpected issues
But at the end, you lost your focus
What is your mission?
The mission was to save the hostage...
And not for you to end up a dead hero
I'm just trying to save my partner
Did you need his help?
No...
but... I appreciate it
Shut up!
Listen! And listen good
The Government pays me to
train you guys
not to go to your funerals
Now I want you both to go home
and study
what happened and what didn't happen
today carefully
Because tomorrow we're going to
do it again
If anyone makes the same mistake
And I can assure you
if you're hoping to spend your future
in this organization, it'd better work!
Now, get out of here!
How much longer?
About 2 hours...
Good... We'll be early
Roadblock ahead, be careful
What happened, officer?
Car skidded, lost control, waiting for
the ambulance
It's been bad all night, we've been
driving for 6 hours...
Drive slowly
Okay! Thank you! Good night
Hey, stop!
We need some medical supplies
Sorry! We're empty
You must have something that can help...
Iike bandages, antibiotics...
The guy has multiple fractures
We don't have a thing
we're completely out
What about the first-aid kit?
Come on, let's open it up!
I thought you said you were empty!
Yes, we have no medical supplies
Wait!
No...
No witnesses
Would you help me with this?
Sure!
I do that only when a beautiful woman
is close by...
There, shame on you
Norika, when do you go back to Tokyo?
In 4 days
First
to the successful conclusion of
our business
Second
to the most smart and beautiful negotiator
Thank you!
You have all the information we need?
She has given us everything
Good!
Put it in your safe
Sure!
Johnny
Hi, Tony
This is my friend, Norika, from Japan
A pleasure
I've invited her to join us
Uncle Ma, may I speak with you
for a moment?
Are you forgetting yourself?
We have a guest
That's alright. I'd like to freshen up
Now speak!
A friend of mine from America is in town
I'd like the two of you to meet
To what purpose?
He's merchandise to sell
Merchandise?
Electronics? Knock offs? Tobacco?
No!
Tony
The drug business is not for us
Not in the past, not now, not ever
Respectfully, Uncle Ma, drugs are
the richest commodity in the world
and China, is an untapped market
We can make a fortune
You are wasting my time...
Uncle Ma...
That's enough
To save face, I will meet your friend
I'd tell him...
how sometimes your mind gets confused
And you forget what I tell you!
Hey!
Hello!
Congratulation! Thanks
Congratulation! Thanks!
Darren, she is Jennifer
Jeniffer, he is Darren
Nice to meet you
Hello! Hello!
I think it's my time now
See you then. See you!
Move forward
Dad
Thanks!
Thank what? You work hard for it!
There are so many girls who work hard
But I have a really good father
Yes!
Sheriff Lin, welcome to Shanghai!
Alex, I am now under your power
Please watch behind me
No problem. You are my colleague, Darren
Sheriff, hi! Hi!
You go up and look around. I have to work
You two please follow me
Alex, I think I better stay here
No!
Go
Hurry up!
I am trying my best
Let's go!
I like this color
I like it too
Forget it, Darren. She don't match with you
You match better
Ruby's design is not bad
Hope that she won't dress like that
Ruby is great
Please call the ambulance! Quick!
Protect them!
I am the police. Everyone please
calm down
Excuse me! Excuse me!
Where is the ambulance? Hurry up!
Hey!
What's wrong?
What the hell?
Stop!
I am the police. I need to use your car
So what if you are the police?
Don't make any stupid move!
This car is mine!
I have followed the suspect to
Pu Dong Hotel
I need back up
It's so pretty. Yes!
Which room is that lady who just walked
into the lift staying?
Sorry, we cannot disclose guest's
information
I am the police. She is a suspect
Calling Control. Please tell me
where is the lady in lift no.7 going?
Stop the car... Stop the car!!
Freeze!
Freeze!
Run!
Freeze!
Stop her
Freeze!
Take it easy, honey
Shopping is over
Let's go!
Hang on baby
I'll be back
Pull me up!
No problem. Just come to my office
tomorrow
What can I do for you?
Our first mission is coming to Lung Cheng
And we hope Sheriff Lin can help us to
investigate a case
That's good
It's a chance to see how good is
my daughter's choice
We want to find some clue
for that murder case happened at
Shanghai Fashion Show
Why do you two come to Lung Cheng?
We want to ask Mr. Ma Man Ho
for investigation
There may be no one knows Mr. Ma
in Shanghai
But he is a really important person here
Sheriff Lin, do you think it's appropriate
to find him?
How about if I show you two around first?
I still have no clue
Someone has killed my brother-in-law
and try to upset me
But you can't find out who did it
Do you think I can take that?
Listen!
You have to find out who did that
I don't care how you do it, or how much
you spend!
Do you understand?
I got it!
That's fine
Master, someone is here for you
Wait
The police may have find something
Please
Mr. Ma. Nice to meet you
Thank you for your time to see us
Sheriff Lin, what can I do for you?
He is Alex Cheung and the other one is
Darren Tong
They are from Shanghai Police Dept
They have a few questions for you
I am waiting for you to give me answers
But not to ask me question
Young man, what do you want to know?
Your brother-in-law was killed at the
Shanghai Fashion Show
and we want to know....
I also want to know who did that
Right?
Right
Did he have any enemy?
No
Please leave
Who is the girl you were with on that day?
Sheriff, I don't think that you bring them
here for a question like this...
I think you must have come out from
the academy
Do you think you can find the truth
with your method like this?
Sheriff, please leave with them now
This time should let you feel
how difficult it would be for investigating
this case
I think there is nothing wrong for
our questions
He must be hiding something
I think this time we have wasted our effort
You write the report
Seems like this murder
is related to their illegal activities
You have their inside information
I have a reliable source
And he told me that Mr. Ma has a
bootlegging to Lung Cheng Pier
We may find some clue from this
Can we go with you?
You better shut up first
We've got some special commodity
for you
A Lambo, man
A what?
A Lamborghini!
Now you see? The ltalians only know
how to make a Lambo and spaghetti
The rest are opera singers and gangsters
Thanks, partner, I'll just go there and drive
it back myself
I don't know, might be a little crowded
I'll alert the police myself
Tony, I tell you
You know I'd love China
I eat takeout twice a week, you know that?
Egg rolls, Chow Mein, Chop-shui
Fortune cookies, all that shit...
This country is like a big ass buffet to me
Yes, it's going to be very profitable
We came a long way from bustling pussy
and selling dime bag
You know what I'm saying?
This is our time, man
Tony, I know you remember this man
right?
My friend from the fashion show
You did well
You said someone good who nobody
knows...
my man Lee here, he's my own personal
bodyguard in LA
I should go
Go! Fool. What's keeping you?
My bread...
Oh yeah, you want bread?
Yeah!
See a baker!
Was that necessary?
Job's over!
The dude wanted to see China, he saw it
And now, I'm sending him home by water
Quick!
Hurry up! The truck is waiting
Okay
Seems like everything is fine
Sheriff Lin has arranged everything
Have you done the report yet?
What should I write?
That's true
Boss, all your stocks are here
They are over there
This car is so pretty
Looks like there is a situation
Let's go
Go and block all the exits
Let's go!
Go!
Don't move! Lay down!
Are you okay?
I am fine
I'm a police officer, pull over your car
What should I do?
Pull him down from the car
Smash him! Don't let him get to the front
Where is he?
How do you drive? Come down!
What's wrong? It's not my fault
That's car just came at us
Want to fight?
Stop! Don't fight!
Don't argue! You all come to
the police station
Lucky me!
How are you? Are you okay?
Sheriff
Those stocks have nothing to do
with my company
The Government has placed
the order to stop all smuggling activities
Today is just a start
And we will get the evidence against
you very soon
But my workers are innocent
They don't even know where those
stocks come from
I hope that you can release them
My company can guarantee
Please bring your people and leave
Tell your boss to stop giving me troubles
I know
How dare you disobey me!
It will never happen again
You go behind my back?
I'm sorry, I should have come to you...
Quiet!
The girl has gone...
you cost me lose much business with
the Japanese
The consequences...
will be severe. Do you understand me?
Tony, because you are the last male
of our family
I will overlook this one time
Tony, in our business, one must be
loyal to the end
Otherwise...
it's fatal
I may get used to this shit baby
In fact, when I go back to South Central
You know what this is, one of those
Pomerol of 89
nothing but the best, baby
I'm surprised they had it
Not them
Shit, I brought this
Saves sucking down that Sake drinking
Sake's Japanese...
Man, I don't care about geography
When them catch up with the frogs
you let me know
Cause that's the only thing those faggots
are good for anyway
Now that my brother, it's the real deal
Iike holy deal...
What the hell are you doing?
I always drink my wine like this
Man, this wine costs $1 5,000 a bottle!
I'll send you a case
That's why I love you
You're an animal pal!
Thanks!
Thanks! You are welcome
Oh, when will you take that action?
What action?
Proposal of marriage
Tonight! You'll see
Have you given her a magnifying glass?
Congratulations!
You are so lucky
In fact I am really lucky
I grew up in an orphanage
No one has cared about me
And now I have her after overcoming all
obstacles
I want to marry her earlier
And have a complete family
I want to have many children
Many children?
Many...
Then go to workout now
Why?
I am afraid you will ask me for help
when you cannot stand any longer
Damn you!
Congratulations!
Thanks
All the cargoes are checked?
All checked. Only the normal stuff...
TV games, computer stuff...
And there are several old cars
Why do they smuggle used cars?
May be someone would like it
You're about to make the biggest score
Genghis Khan
You know what I'm saying? It's time to
celebrate baby, not reach for the Prozae
I won't relax till the goods are moving
Well, lay your mind to rest baby, cause
in a few hours
Our ship's coming in, like the Queen Mary
What if the light doesn't go off?
Tony... Iook, it's like this
There's always some fool rookie cop
who thinks he's smelled something
and his fool rookie mind gets to
cogitate this shit...
You know what? They always say
the same damn thing
I figure it out
I figure it out
What do you know?
There must be something inside the cars
Won't you feel you have thought
too much?
Let's check that out!
Do I have an important appointment?
I forgot
I go with you tomorrow
You go and rest
And also, wish me good luck
No
I better call Ruby and tell her to get away
I'll do lt
Thanks
Just leave it! Don't pick it up!
Hello!
Darren
Okay... okay... I will come now
One hour
Okay... okay... okay... 20 minutes then
One hundred kilograms. It worths
approximately...
4 million dollars?
I think not even close
This time you really are something
How could it be like that?
What happened?
For thirty years, no drug has ever come
into Lung Sheng
You mean no one has ever got caught?
Ma definitely would not do the drugs
business
Now there are only two possibilities :
If these drugs are not smuggled in under
Ma's approval
then that means Ma cannot control
his people anymore
But if these are arranged by Ma
then we have to eliminate them all
Do you have any evidence for putting
charges on him?
We still haven't got enough evidence
We should wait until the right time to
arrest them
Then we just wait here
I think it wouldn't take long
Nice to meet you
No drug has ever come into Lung Sheng?
How about the other smugglings?
Sheriff Lin is too familiar to
their background
Yes, really familiar
Then why doesn't he arrest them?
I can't get used to this shit, baby
I've got it, Tony
The Chinese are real shrewd and
devious people
but you are the best, baby
You made me one of the best
No one can touch me...
Unless I want to be touched
Chong's record, listing everyone on
Ma's payroll
How did you get this?
Chong's room, after he was killed
No body saw you?
If they did, would I be here now?
That's a good question. Why are you here?
I represent investors who might be
interested in helping you develop
Possible!
Hey girl, this isn't stock exchange
We ain't trading any futures here
You want to bone the bitch, do it
after hours
And you, you talk the talk and you walk
the walk, in all a good shit
But you could be Chairman Mao
for all I know
Ma checked her out, she's clean
It's damn right
well you best slow your role, partner
Cause I get nervous about this shit
You won't want to see me nervous
I'll vouch for her
Don't try to play me
Even the bitch makes your dick hard
don't make her nothing
How do I know she's not a cop?
How do I know she isn't wired right now?
You won't listen
I say it... one time
I vouch for her
Having fun, guys
Let's do it an easy way
See any wire?
I think you'd better sit down
This is my cell phone number
What about your address?
Call me any time
You know why the bitch didn't give
you her address?
She probably got some rich Japs
keeping her
She come up with something better like
you damn ass
I can't get used to this shit, baby
I'm telling you baby, this is beautiful
We ain't got anything like this
in South Central
Do you garden?
No, you know... to me, flowers are like
beautiful women
They're good to look at, but for
my personal pleasure
but they don't last long
It is a hard work, like all good
things in life
It took many years to put our
organizations together
One bad seed can destroy everything
Listen to me!
I understand. Tony explained
my position to you
Yes, but...
You ignore it
No disrespect...
I'm just a businessman
trying to grow revenues
I wish you have a big big success
But not in China
Take a flight, go home
So that's it? Man. Just like that?
Shutting us down? Just like that?
Have patience...
Have patience? Doctors have patients!
and I ain't moving to China
It will take just a little time...
A little time?
Tony, I saw that old man manicuring that
Those kind of guys, they don't smoke
they don't drink, they don't do nothing
So if you're waiting for him to check out
you can forget that's shit
Like a fact, he's gonna live longer than
the two of us put together
We can speed up the process
Hello!
Hello!
What were you doing at Ma's house?
I was meeting a friend
Who?
He never showed up so it doesn't matter
And you were so angry
You killed him
That's stupid!
Even for you!
You had his blood on your hands
I was turning the body over
C'mon lady you can do better than that
You've got problems
Big ones!
Doesn't everyone?
You're too cool
Why?
Just being close to you makes me feel
so good all over
That's the first honest thing you've said
today
My God! Darren...
You!
Button up your blouse
Will it help you?
Yes... no...
It helps him...
Alex!
I figure it out
You're a cop
Come on! Give me a break, Darren
Just meet her when she gets out of jail
Run her prints through the computer
Starting with Japan
He's right. I'm with Japanese lnterpol
Just call me Arnold
What's Japanese lnterpol doing in China?
One of our agents was murdered
in California
By Coolio?
Exactly
Okay, we'll get you released through
a lawyer
Make it look real
Do you understand me?
Oh, I understand you, very well
Cut the goddamn foreplay
I'm really getting stressed on here
What?
Hi...
Oh, my leg...
Hold on...
Lie down first
Try to relax. I'll fix it for you, okay?
Is that here?
Yeah!
Getting better?
Yes
Don't stop!
Higher...
Don't stop!
It's starting to feel so good all over...
I've been thinking about you since
the first moment I saw you
Really?
Yeah...
The lawyer we got you will be here
in the morning
Good!
Remember, when you leave, you're
supposed to hate us
That's easy
I hope you don't think I'm too rough
on you today
I don't think of you, period
Thanks anyhow
Cyberboy
We can track you anywhere
I want to bring Coolio back to Tokyo...
By myself
What did he do to you?
Not me
My partner
Coolio killed him... three years ago
I'm sorry!
I'll help you any way I can
Good night!
Hey good-looking...
Good night!
You're fighting faster and better
since Ma's death
He was an old fool
now, we will be feared in all of Asia
You're okay?
I'm okay
Do not trust the black guy
He... He is dangerous
He's an old friend
Besides, he is in our territory now
If anyone should worry...
It's him
Let's go!
Asshole!
Do you all believe her?
I think I know her pretty well
Please do not make any decision
Don't under estimate women
especially the pretty ones
When have you met a beautiful cop
like her?
Man. I can't get used to this shit
It's a real shit!
Ma bought it back in 1 950...
people offered him millions
to build a hotel and shopping center...
but no, he wouldn't
He remembered the movies they made here
when he was a kid, a thousand years ago!
I saw one about the Zing Dynasty, right
It's about thousands of fools hacking each
other to death with swords...
kind like a western
with no gun and no horse...
What the hell is this place?
It kind a remind me the Golden Nugget
in Las Vegas!
The great hall...
Kings used it to present
ceremonial purposes
Man, someone was pretty important or
they had a big old ass
It's the emperors' chair
Ma liked to use it when he was doing
business
He claimed it made him more powerful
Yeah!
I get into that mystical type of shit
you know what I'm saying?
Kind of like ouija board and shit
I want to know who set me up, and why!
Be cool when you're talking to the
emperor, home girl. I did it
Baby, I'm just running a last minute
security check on you...
And guess what?
You passed!
I'm getting tired of all the shit!
Stop your bitching! Besides I was wrong
about you
So you still want to do business or not?
Yes
Good!
We're bringing you six hundred K in the
first load
If you are in, and how much?
As much as we can get
Please don't! Please...
I swear that I did not do this
But how can the stocks come in without
your permission?
Whose drugs are those? Ma's?
I don't know
Lau's? Or Coolio's?
I would have told you if I know.
You don't tell me because you are afraid
of them, aren't you?
Say it! Whose stocks are those?
In the years, I have not lied to you
And this time, I really have no idea
Ruby, come on, open the door quickly
Here he is
Are you okay? What happened?
Shit! We are in deep trouble
What?
Come with me
Happy birthday!
You are so great! I almost forgot!
Thanks
Blow the candles and make a wish first!
What wish?
I wish we could have many children after
get married
Many?
Five to six
Five to six?
Wait... don't come over...
Come on! It's okay...
No, you are so naughty!
Don't fool around. Okay
You sit over there, and let me get a piece
of cake for you
Thanks
You still wear these socks even with
a hole?
Well...
Let me fix this up for you
This is much better
How do you feel about my dad?
I have learned a lot from him
Both good and bad things
What do you mean?
I am thinking that being a senior police
officer like your dad
cannot be always that righteous
Sometimes he may have to go easy on
something
My dad is the most righteous person
I don't mean he is not
But he actually knows about the smuggling
issue in Lung Cheng pretty well
Then why he hasn't arrested them
for these years?
And also
they seem to have a good relationship
What are you talking about?
You mean he is corrupted?
I don't mean that
I just suspect that...
Suspect? How can you suspect my dad?
He is the most righteous person I have
ever seen
You don't have to say anything. Please go
Are you serious?
Get up! Go!
I said Go!
I can repair my own socks!
I couldn't get you in as a foreigner
So I said you're an ambassador from an
African country, Zimbabwe...
Do I sound like I come from Zimbabwe?
Don't worry, no one knows what you are
saying anyway
Man. Whatever works...
Welcome sir
Thank you! Moments coming brother...
My admiral outs on that tanker's just
waiting for my call
to start rolling our dope into the pipeline
What I need to know is where we
picking it up?
Each ball's tracked on screen
and steered offline to a small
pumping station...
Safe, sounds and undetected
How fast?
From ship to shore
four minutes and twenty seconds...
That's supersonic, baby
It's a perfect system
You brother, you believe I never
graduated college?
Man, I'm starting to dig international
co-ventures, multi-national
you know what I'm saying?
I might start putting this to Mexicans
the Spics and the waps
You know
I always think black people only sing
and dance and play basketball
But you're pretty smart, even for one
of them
Sir
How many?
One hundred
Excellent
You don't see that, sir
650 kilo times 22 that's 1 4 million
300 thousand
COD, cash on delivery, baby
Next week, I'm gonna buy me
one of those 3 PCs suits at
Brooks Brothers
And go to Switzerland and visit my money
Complete the transaction
Hi! Willie is cool! What's up?
How much?
No, my friend it's 1 4 million
three hundred thousand
Don't forget the three hundred, Willie
Dad, come and takes a seat
I make tea for you
No, I am fine
Come. I have something to talk to you
What's the matter?
I am going to retire
Retire?
Let's leave China
We can go to Milan, Paris, New York...
I think you will have a better future
with your talent
But my development in China is also
not bad
If we go, we have to start everything all
over again
And this takes a lot of money and time
I have a lot of money now
But not much time left
Dad, what happened?
I have been a police for 30 years
When your mum still alive
I have never planned for her
Before she died
I have promised her
that I would give the best life to you
But I was only a small potato at that time
And I could not afford to support you for
education aboard
But my life has been very good so far
And those money...
All the expenses that you have spent
overseas
were supported by one of my friends
named Ma
The condition for this offer is to provide
him information
Dad, don't you know that this is
corruption?
I am sorry!
But I had no choice at that time
But I am now regret to this
You can tell the truth now
If I do this, I will never see you again
So we have to leave China
As soon as possible
But I am now with Alex...
You cannot let Alex know about this
You better get prepared now
I still have one more thing to do
I will come and pick you up when I finish
Dad...
Be a nice girl please
Norika is suspecting that they have
already loaded the smuggling
The cake is in the refrigerator
and it is still nice to eat
I am sorry. I have misunderstood you
I love you
We have to go
But we'll come back soon
Alex
Stop!
It's not the time for exhibition yet
Coolio, this is a surprise for you. Coolio
what do you think?
Tony, you are a man of impecable taste!
That's I'm thinking about, baby
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm getting me season tickets
for the Lakers
And a parking spot, right in front of the
Staples Center
Let's split up and go in
I will go wherever you go
Be careful
Yes, Sheriff-to-be
Tony, I swear to god, man
I ever said about you and your people
I take back everything bad
Thanks
Not at all
1 4 million, three hundred thousand
you want to count it?
As you say it's fourteen three
It's fourteen three
There is honor amongst thieves
I hear that
Put it in the trunk
He'll hook up the net
Let's get your bags and you'll be out on
the freighter in twenty minutes
Just in time to say goodbye to our partner
Okay, I'll leave you two to work on
whatever you two want to work on...
Coolio...
How about one drink before you go?
Hell yeah! How about two, three
four, five?
So we'll get drunk and do some wild shit!
Cheers!
What the hell you're doing here
the sheriff?
Hold on
He's with us
The sheriff?
The sheriff is with the bad guys?
Isn't life a piss?
So... what do you want?
I'm handing in my resignation
with the police and you
So?
I need some money. I'm going away
We don't give severance pay
You are shaking us down?
I'm starting to feel like I'm back
in Los Angeles
You have nothing I want
My silence
I'm gone
Sheriff Lin, whose word would
people believe?
A police officer, which I can prove
has been
on Ma's payroll for the last twenty years
or someone who has never even had
a speeding ticket, like me?
Look like you just screwed up with
the wrong vampire old man
you got some other hot commodities
you're selling for the day, Pops?
Yes, as a matter of fact, but it will cost
you 2 million dollars
Two million dollars? What you're selling?
Missile technology or germ warfare, pops?
Neither, an informant
Bull shit
My money and a safe passage to
my daughter and me
Out of Lung Cheng, out of China
Do we have a deal?
Japanese lnterpol
Tony. I've told you man. I never trusted
that bitch... I told you
And you, you might be ruined
by this romance
don't mess up the party!
Please take good care of Ruby for me
You will be fine
I will go with you
You take care of him, and I will take care
of Sheriff
Sheriff
All the cops are the same. They are all
predictable
Only this time, the bad guys win
No
Alex!
Alex
Keep up!
This is not paint
We are not in the training
Keep up! You have to keep up
You will be fine
Please tell Ruby that
I cannot give her many children
You will be fine. Don't worry
And also...
I lover her forever
No... No...
I will not tell her... You tell her yourself!
Alex! You tell her yourself!
Alex! No... please don't!
Go, man, go, take off!
They are too heavy
We have to give up some
No, we cannot. Someone down there
Norika, come on
The engine is over heat
It's too heavy. I don't know how much
lift we can get
Let's drop the car
I drop you, asshole!
Shit!
Let's unlock it
Get to the middle
Norika, get down
Officer, please help me, come and help me
You are the police, you cannot let me die
come on!
Norika, move back
Slowly... don't be nervous
A bit more...
Don't worry, slow down
Don't be nervous... Be careful...
just grab me tight...
Hurry up... help me
Be careful...grab tight
That's fine
Darren, thanks for taking care everything
for me
If it is not you, I really don't know what
would happen
It's my pleasure
You are the only family of Alex
I want you to keep this for him
You have to take care yourself when you
get to Milan
when you become a famous designer!
Don't forget me
No one will forget you
I am sure I will come back to Shanghai
Thanks!
Bye!
Bye bye!
Hey! Hey!
Thanks!
So, can you stay for a while?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I depend what you'll do
What'd you like me to do?
You know something Alex?
I like your hair that color
Yeah? Right?
Attention!
Do any of you even care that
the hostage was endangered?
You were brilliant, Alex
Great surveillance
teamwork, improvisation...
And handle unexpected issues
But at the end, you lost your focus
What is your mission?
The mission was to save the hostage...
And not for you to end up a dead hero
I'm just trying to save my partner
Did you need his help?
No...
but... I appreciate it
Shut up!
Listen! And listen good
The Government pays me to
train you guys
not to go to your funerals
Now I want you both to go home
and study
what happened and what didn't happen
today carefully
Because tomorrow we're going to
do it again
If anyone makes the same mistake
And I can assure you
if you're hoping to spend your future
in this organization, it'd better work!
Now, get out of here!
How much longer?
About 2 hours...
Good... We'll be early
Roadblock ahead, be careful
What happened, officer?
Car skidded, lost control, waiting for
the ambulance
It's been bad all night, we've been
driving for 6 hours...
Drive slowly
Okay! Thank you! Good night
Hey, stop!
We need some medical supplies
Sorry! We're empty
You must have something that can help...
Iike bandages, antibiotics...
The guy has multiple fractures
We don't have a thing
we're completely out
What about the first-aid kit?
Come on, let's open it up!
I thought you said you were empty!
Yes, we have no medical supplies
Wait!
No...
No witnesses
Would you help me with this?
Sure!
I do that only when a beautiful woman
is close by...
There, shame on you
Norika, when do you go back to Tokyo?
In 4 days
First
to the successful conclusion of
our business
Second
to the most smart and beautiful negotiator
Thank you!
You have all the information we need?
She has given us everything
Good!
Put it in your safe
Sure!
Johnny
Hi, Tony
This is my friend, Norika, from Japan
A pleasure
I've invited her to join us
Uncle Ma, may I speak with you
for a moment?
Are you forgetting yourself?
We have a guest
That's alright. I'd like to freshen up
Now speak!
A friend of mine from America is in town
I'd like the two of you to meet
To what purpose?
He's merchandise to sell
Merchandise?
Electronics? Knock offs? Tobacco?
No!
Tony
The drug business is not for us
Not in the past, not now, not ever
Respectfully, Uncle Ma, drugs are
the richest commodity in the world
and China, is an untapped market
We can make a fortune
You are wasting my time...
Uncle Ma...
That's enough
To save face, I will meet your friend
I'd tell him...
how sometimes your mind gets confused
And you forget what I tell you!
Hey!
Hello!
Congratulation! Thanks
Congratulation! Thanks!
Darren, she is Jennifer
Jeniffer, he is Darren
Nice to meet you
Hello! Hello!
I think it's my time now
See you then. See you!
Move forward
Dad
Thanks!
Thank what? You work hard for it!
There are so many girls who work hard
But I have a really good father
Yes!
Sheriff Lin, welcome to Shanghai!
Alex, I am now under your power
Please watch behind me
No problem. You are my colleague, Darren
Sheriff, hi! Hi!
You go up and look around. I have to work
You two please follow me
Alex, I think I better stay here
No!
Go
Hurry up!
I am trying my best
Let's go!
I like this color
I like it too
Forget it, Darren. She don't match with you
You match better
Ruby's design is not bad
Hope that she won't dress like that
Ruby is great
Please call the ambulance! Quick!
Protect them!
I am the police. Everyone please
calm down
Excuse me! Excuse me!
Where is the ambulance? Hurry up!
Hey!
What's wrong?
What the hell?
Stop!
I am the police. I need to use your car
So what if you are the police?
Don't make any stupid move!
This car is mine!
I have followed the suspect to
Pu Dong Hotel
I need back up
It's so pretty. Yes!
Which room is that lady who just walked
into the lift staying?
Sorry, we cannot disclose guest's
information
I am the police. She is a suspect
Calling Control. Please tell me
where is the lady in lift no.7 going?
Stop the car... Stop the car!!
Freeze!
Freeze!
Run!
Freeze!
Stop her
Freeze!
Take it easy, honey
Shopping is over
Let's go!
Hang on baby
I'll be back
Pull me up!
No problem. Just come to my office
tomorrow
What can I do for you?
Our first mission is coming to Lung Cheng
And we hope Sheriff Lin can help us to
investigate a case
That's good
It's a chance to see how good is
my daughter's choice
We want to find some clue
for that murder case happened at
Shanghai Fashion Show
Why do you two come to Lung Cheng?
We want to ask Mr. Ma Man Ho
for investigation
There may be no one knows Mr. Ma
in Shanghai
But he is a really important person here
Sheriff Lin, do you think it's appropriate
to find him?
How about if I show you two around first?
I still have no clue
Someone has killed my brother-in-law
and try to upset me
But you can't find out who did it
Do you think I can take that?
Listen!
You have to find out who did that
I don't care how you do it, or how much
you spend!
Do you understand?
I got it!
That's fine
Master, someone is here for you
Wait
The police may have find something
Please
Mr. Ma. Nice to meet you
Thank you for your time to see us
Sheriff Lin, what can I do for you?
He is Alex Cheung and the other one is
Darren Tong
They are from Shanghai Police Dept
They have a few questions for you
I am waiting for you to give me answers
But not to ask me question
Young man, what do you want to know?
Your brother-in-law was killed at the
Shanghai Fashion Show
and we want to know....
I also want to know who did that
Right?
Right
Did he have any enemy?
No
Please leave
Who is the girl you were with on that day?
Sheriff, I don't think that you bring them
here for a question like this...
I think you must have come out from
the academy
Do you think you can find the truth
with your method like this?
Sheriff, please leave with them now
This time should let you feel
how difficult it would be for investigating
this case
I think there is nothing wrong for
our questions
He must be hiding something
I think this time we have wasted our effort
You write the report
Seems like this murder
is related to their illegal activities
You have their inside information
I have a reliable source
And he told me that Mr. Ma has a
bootlegging to Lung Cheng Pier
We may find some clue from this
Can we go with you?
You better shut up first
We've got some special commodity
for you
A Lambo, man
A what?
A Lamborghini!
Now you see? The ltalians only know
how to make a Lambo and spaghetti
The rest are opera singers and gangsters
Thanks, partner, I'll just go there and drive
it back myself
I don't know, might be a little crowded
I'll alert the police myself
Tony, I tell you
You know I'd love China
I eat takeout twice a week, you know that?
Egg rolls, Chow Mein, Chop-shui
Fortune cookies, all that shit...
This country is like a big ass buffet to me
Yes, it's going to be very profitable
We came a long way from bustling pussy
and selling dime bag
You know what I'm saying?
This is our time, man
Tony, I know you remember this man
right?
My friend from the fashion show
You did well
You said someone good who nobody
knows...
my man Lee here, he's my own personal
bodyguard in LA
I should go
Go! Fool. What's keeping you?
My bread...
Oh yeah, you want bread?
Yeah!
See a baker!
Was that necessary?
Job's over!
The dude wanted to see China, he saw it
And now, I'm sending him home by water
Quick!
Hurry up! The truck is waiting
Okay
Seems like everything is fine
Sheriff Lin has arranged everything
Have you done the report yet?
What should I write?
That's true
Boss, all your stocks are here
They are over there
This car is so pretty
Looks like there is a situation
Let's go
Go and block all the exits
Let's go!
Go!
Don't move! Lay down!
Are you okay?
I am fine
I'm a police officer, pull over your car
What should I do?
Pull him down from the car
Smash him! Don't let him get to the front
Where is he?
How do you drive? Come down!
What's wrong? It's not my fault
That's car just came at us
Want to fight?
Stop! Don't fight!
Don't argue! You all come to
the police station
Lucky me!
How are you? Are you okay?
Sheriff
Those stocks have nothing to do
with my company
The Government has placed
the order to stop all smuggling activities
Today is just a start
And we will get the evidence against
you very soon
But my workers are innocent
They don't even know where those
stocks come from
I hope that you can release them
My company can guarantee
Please bring your people and leave
Tell your boss to stop giving me troubles
I know
How dare you disobey me!
It will never happen again
You go behind my back?
I'm sorry, I should have come to you...
Quiet!
The girl has gone...
you cost me lose much business with
the Japanese
The consequences...
will be severe. Do you understand me?
Tony, because you are the last male
of our family
I will overlook this one time
Tony, in our business, one must be
loyal to the end
Otherwise...
it's fatal
I may get used to this shit baby
In fact, when I go back to South Central
You know what this is, one of those
Pomerol of 89
nothing but the best, baby
I'm surprised they had it
Not them
Shit, I brought this
Saves sucking down that Sake drinking
Sake's Japanese...
Man, I don't care about geography
When them catch up with the frogs
you let me know
Cause that's the only thing those faggots
are good for anyway
Now that my brother, it's the real deal
Iike holy deal...
What the hell are you doing?
I always drink my wine like this
Man, this wine costs $1 5,000 a bottle!
I'll send you a case
That's why I love you
You're an animal pal!
Thanks!
Thanks! You are welcome
Oh, when will you take that action?
What action?
Proposal of marriage
Tonight! You'll see
Have you given her a magnifying glass?
Congratulations!
You are so lucky
In fact I am really lucky
I grew up in an orphanage
No one has cared about me
And now I have her after overcoming all
obstacles
I want to marry her earlier
And have a complete family
I want to have many children
Many children?
Many...
Then go to workout now
Why?
I am afraid you will ask me for help
when you cannot stand any longer
Damn you!
Congratulations!
Thanks
All the cargoes are checked?
All checked. Only the normal stuff...
TV games, computer stuff...
And there are several old cars
Why do they smuggle used cars?
May be someone would like it
You're about to make the biggest score
Genghis Khan
You know what I'm saying? It's time to
celebrate baby, not reach for the Prozae
I won't relax till the goods are moving
Well, lay your mind to rest baby, cause
in a few hours
Our ship's coming in, like the Queen Mary
What if the light doesn't go off?
Tony... Iook, it's like this
There's always some fool rookie cop
who thinks he's smelled something
and his fool rookie mind gets to
cogitate this shit...
You know what? They always say
the same damn thing
I figure it out
I figure it out
What do you know?
There must be something inside the cars
Won't you feel you have thought
too much?
Let's check that out!
Do I have an important appointment?
I forgot
I go with you tomorrow
You go and rest
And also, wish me good luck
No
I better call Ruby and tell her to get away
I'll do lt
Thanks
Just leave it! Don't pick it up!
Hello!
Darren
Okay... okay... I will come now
One hour
Okay... okay... okay... 20 minutes then
One hundred kilograms. It worths
approximately...
4 million dollars?
I think not even close
This time you really are something
How could it be like that?
What happened?
For thirty years, no drug has ever come
into Lung Sheng
You mean no one has ever got caught?
Ma definitely would not do the drugs
business
Now there are only two possibilities :
If these drugs are not smuggled in under
Ma's approval
then that means Ma cannot control
his people anymore
But if these are arranged by Ma
then we have to eliminate them all
Do you have any evidence for putting
charges on him?
We still haven't got enough evidence
We should wait until the right time to
arrest them
Then we just wait here
I think it wouldn't take long
Nice to meet you
No drug has ever come into Lung Sheng?
How about the other smugglings?
Sheriff Lin is too familiar to
their background
Yes, really familiar
Then why doesn't he arrest them?
I can't get used to this shit, baby
I've got it, Tony
The Chinese are real shrewd and
devious people
but you are the best, baby
You made me one of the best
No one can touch me...
Unless I want to be touched
Chong's record, listing everyone on
Ma's payroll
How did you get this?
Chong's room, after he was killed
No body saw you?
If they did, would I be here now?
That's a good question. Why are you here?
I represent investors who might be
interested in helping you develop
Possible!
Hey girl, this isn't stock exchange
We ain't trading any futures here
You want to bone the bitch, do it
after hours
And you, you talk the talk and you walk
the walk, in all a good shit
But you could be Chairman Mao
for all I know
Ma checked her out, she's clean
It's damn right
well you best slow your role, partner
Cause I get nervous about this shit
You won't want to see me nervous
I'll vouch for her
Don't try to play me
Even the bitch makes your dick hard
don't make her nothing
How do I know she's not a cop?
How do I know she isn't wired right now?
You won't listen
I say it... one time
I vouch for her
Having fun, guys
Let's do it an easy way
See any wire?
I think you'd better sit down
This is my cell phone number
What about your address?
Call me any time
You know why the bitch didn't give
you her address?
She probably got some rich Japs
keeping her
She come up with something better like
you damn ass
I can't get used to this shit, baby
I'm telling you baby, this is beautiful
We ain't got anything like this
in South Central
Do you garden?
No, you know... to me, flowers are like
beautiful women
They're good to look at, but for
my personal pleasure
but they don't last long
It is a hard work, like all good
things in life
It took many years to put our
organizations together
One bad seed can destroy everything
Listen to me!
I understand. Tony explained
my position to you
Yes, but...
You ignore it
No disrespect...
I'm just a businessman
trying to grow revenues
I wish you have a big big success
But not in China
Take a flight, go home
So that's it? Man. Just like that?
Shutting us down? Just like that?
Have patience...
Have patience? Doctors have patients!
and I ain't moving to China
It will take just a little time...
A little time?
Tony, I saw that old man manicuring that
Those kind of guys, they don't smoke
they don't drink, they don't do nothing
So if you're waiting for him to check out
you can forget that's shit
Like a fact, he's gonna live longer than
the two of us put together
We can speed up the process
Hello!
Hello!
What were you doing at Ma's house?
I was meeting a friend
Who?
He never showed up so it doesn't matter
And you were so angry
You killed him
That's stupid!
Even for you!
You had his blood on your hands
I was turning the body over
C'mon lady you can do better than that
You've got problems
Big ones!
Doesn't everyone?
You're too cool
Why?
Just being close to you makes me feel
so good all over
That's the first honest thing you've said
today
My God! Darren...
You!
Button up your blouse
Will it help you?
Yes... no...
It helps him...
Alex!
I figure it out
You're a cop
Come on! Give me a break, Darren
Just meet her when she gets out of jail
Run her prints through the computer
Starting with Japan
He's right. I'm with Japanese lnterpol
Just call me Arnold
What's Japanese lnterpol doing in China?
One of our agents was murdered
in California
By Coolio?
Exactly
Okay, we'll get you released through
a lawyer
Make it look real
Do you understand me?
Oh, I understand you, very well
Cut the goddamn foreplay
I'm really getting stressed on here
What?
Hi...
Oh, my leg...
Hold on...
Lie down first
Try to relax. I'll fix it for you, okay?
Is that here?
Yeah!
Getting better?
Yes
Don't stop!
Higher...
Don't stop!
It's starting to feel so good all over...
I've been thinking about you since
the first moment I saw you
Really?
Yeah...
The lawyer we got you will be here
in the morning
Good!
Remember, when you leave, you're
supposed to hate us
That's easy
I hope you don't think I'm too rough
on you today
I don't think of you, period
Thanks anyhow
Cyberboy
We can track you anywhere
I want to bring Coolio back to Tokyo...
By myself
What did he do to you?
Not me
My partner
Coolio killed him... three years ago
I'm sorry!
I'll help you any way I can
Good night!
Hey good-looking...
Good night!
You're fighting faster and better
since Ma's death
He was an old fool
now, we will be feared in all of Asia
You're okay?
I'm okay
Do not trust the black guy
He... He is dangerous
He's an old friend
Besides, he is in our territory now
If anyone should worry...
It's him
Let's go!
Asshole!
Do you all believe her?
I think I know her pretty well
Please do not make any decision
Don't under estimate women
especially the pretty ones
When have you met a beautiful cop
like her?
Man. I can't get used to this shit
It's a real shit!
Ma bought it back in 1 950...
people offered him millions
to build a hotel and shopping center...
but no, he wouldn't
He remembered the movies they made here
when he was a kid, a thousand years ago!
I saw one about the Zing Dynasty, right
It's about thousands of fools hacking each
other to death with swords...
kind like a western
with no gun and no horse...
What the hell is this place?
It kind a remind me the Golden Nugget
in Las Vegas!
The great hall...
Kings used it to present
ceremonial purposes
Man, someone was pretty important or
they had a big old ass
It's the emperors' chair
Ma liked to use it when he was doing
business
He claimed it made him more powerful
Yeah!
I get into that mystical type of shit
you know what I'm saying?
Kind of like ouija board and shit
I want to know who set me up, and why!
Be cool when you're talking to the
emperor, home girl. I did it
Baby, I'm just running a last minute
security check on you...
And guess what?
You passed!
I'm getting tired of all the shit!
Stop your bitching! Besides I was wrong
about you
So you still want to do business or not?
Yes
Good!
We're bringing you six hundred K in the
first load
If you are in, and how much?
As much as we can get
Please don't! Please...
I swear that I did not do this
But how can the stocks come in without
your permission?
Whose drugs are those? Ma's?
I don't know
Lau's? Or Coolio's?
I would have told you if I know.
You don't tell me because you are afraid
of them, aren't you?
Say it! Whose stocks are those?
In the years, I have not lied to you
And this time, I really have no idea
Ruby, come on, open the door quickly
Here he is
Are you okay? What happened?
Shit! We are in deep trouble
What?
Come with me
Happy birthday!
You are so great! I almost forgot!
Thanks
Blow the candles and make a wish first!
What wish?
I wish we could have many children after
get married
Many?
Five to six
Five to six?
Wait... don't come over...
Come on! It's okay...
No, you are so naughty!
Don't fool around. Okay
You sit over there, and let me get a piece
of cake for you
Thanks
You still wear these socks even with
a hole?
Well...
Let me fix this up for you
This is much better
How do you feel about my dad?
I have learned a lot from him
Both good and bad things
What do you mean?
I am thinking that being a senior police
officer like your dad
cannot be always that righteous
Sometimes he may have to go easy on
something
My dad is the most righteous person
I don't mean he is not
But he actually knows about the smuggling
issue in Lung Cheng pretty well
Then why he hasn't arrested them
for these years?
And also
they seem to have a good relationship
What are you talking about?
You mean he is corrupted?
I don't mean that
I just suspect that...
Suspect? How can you suspect my dad?
He is the most righteous person I have
ever seen
You don't have to say anything. Please go
Are you serious?
Get up! Go!
I said Go!
I can repair my own socks!
I couldn't get you in as a foreigner
So I said you're an ambassador from an
African country, Zimbabwe...
Do I sound like I come from Zimbabwe?
Don't worry, no one knows what you are
saying anyway
Man. Whatever works...
Welcome sir
Thank you! Moments coming brother...
My admiral outs on that tanker's just
waiting for my call
to start rolling our dope into the pipeline
What I need to know is where we
picking it up?
Each ball's tracked on screen
and steered offline to a small
pumping station...
Safe, sounds and undetected
How fast?
From ship to shore
four minutes and twenty seconds...
That's supersonic, baby
It's a perfect system
You brother, you believe I never
graduated college?
Man, I'm starting to dig international
co-ventures, multi-national
you know what I'm saying?
I might start putting this to Mexicans
the Spics and the waps
You know
I always think black people only sing
and dance and play basketball
But you're pretty smart, even for one
of them
Sir
How many?
One hundred
Excellent
You don't see that, sir
650 kilo times 22 that's 1 4 million
300 thousand
COD, cash on delivery, baby
Next week, I'm gonna buy me
one of those 3 PCs suits at
Brooks Brothers
And go to Switzerland and visit my money
Complete the transaction
Hi! Willie is cool! What's up?
How much?
No, my friend it's 1 4 million
three hundred thousand
Don't forget the three hundred, Willie
Dad, come and takes a seat
I make tea for you
No, I am fine
Come. I have something to talk to you
What's the matter?
I am going to retire
Retire?
Let's leave China
We can go to Milan, Paris, New York...
I think you will have a better future
with your talent
But my development in China is also
not bad
If we go, we have to start everything all
over again
And this takes a lot of money and time
I have a lot of money now
But not much time left
Dad, what happened?
I have been a police for 30 years
When your mum still alive
I have never planned for her
Before she died
I have promised her
that I would give the best life to you
But I was only a small potato at that time
And I could not afford to support you for
education aboard
But my life has been very good so far
And those money...
All the expenses that you have spent
overseas
were supported by one of my friends
named Ma
The condition for this offer is to provide
him information
Dad, don't you know that this is
corruption?
I am sorry!
But I had no choice at that time
But I am now regret to this
You can tell the truth now
If I do this, I will never see you again
So we have to leave China
As soon as possible
But I am now with Alex...
You cannot let Alex know about this
You better get prepared now
I still have one more thing to do
I will come and pick you up when I finish
Dad...
Be a nice girl please
Norika is suspecting that they have
already loaded the smuggling
The cake is in the refrigerator
and it is still nice to eat
I am sorry. I have misunderstood you
I love you
We have to go
But we'll come back soon
Alex
Stop!
It's not the time for exhibition yet
Coolio, this is a surprise for you. Coolio
what do you think?
Tony, you are a man of impecable taste!
That's I'm thinking about, baby
You know what I'm going to do?
I'm getting me season tickets
for the Lakers
And a parking spot, right in front of the
Staples Center
Let's split up and go in
I will go wherever you go
Be careful
Yes, Sheriff-to-be
Tony, I swear to god, man
I ever said about you and your people
I take back everything bad
Thanks
Not at all
1 4 million, three hundred thousand
you want to count it?
As you say it's fourteen three
It's fourteen three
There is honor amongst thieves
I hear that
Put it in the trunk
He'll hook up the net
Let's get your bags and you'll be out on
the freighter in twenty minutes
Just in time to say goodbye to our partner
Okay, I'll leave you two to work on
whatever you two want to work on...
Coolio...
How about one drink before you go?
Hell yeah! How about two, three
four, five?
So we'll get drunk and do some wild shit!
Cheers!
What the hell you're doing here
the sheriff?
Hold on
He's with us
The sheriff?
The sheriff is with the bad guys?
Isn't life a piss?
So... what do you want?
I'm handing in my resignation
with the police and you
So?
I need some money. I'm going away
We don't give severance pay
You are shaking us down?
I'm starting to feel like I'm back
in Los Angeles
You have nothing I want
My silence
I'm gone
Sheriff Lin, whose word would
people believe?
A police officer, which I can prove
has been
on Ma's payroll for the last twenty years
or someone who has never even had
a speeding ticket, like me?
Look like you just screwed up with
the wrong vampire old man
you got some other hot commodities
you're selling for the day, Pops?
Yes, as a matter of fact, but it will cost
you 2 million dollars
Two million dollars? What you're selling?
Missile technology or germ warfare, pops?
Neither, an informant
Bull shit
My money and a safe passage to
my daughter and me
Out of Lung Cheng, out of China
Do we have a deal?
Japanese lnterpol
Tony. I've told you man. I never trusted
that bitch... I told you
And you, you might be ruined
by this romance
don't mess up the party!
Please take good care of Ruby for me
You will be fine
I will go with you
You take care of him, and I will take care
of Sheriff
Sheriff
All the cops are the same. They are all
predictable
Only this time, the bad guys win
No
Alex!
Alex
Keep up!
This is not paint
We are not in the training
Keep up! You have to keep up
You will be fine
Please tell Ruby that
I cannot give her many children
You will be fine. Don't worry
And also...
I lover her forever
No... No...
I will not tell her... You tell her yourself!
Alex! You tell her yourself!
Alex! No... please don't!
Go, man, go, take off!
They are too heavy
We have to give up some
No, we cannot. Someone down there
Norika, come on
The engine is over heat
It's too heavy. I don't know how much
lift we can get
Let's drop the car
I drop you, asshole!
Shit!
Let's unlock it
Get to the middle
Norika, get down
Officer, please help me, come and help me
You are the police, you cannot let me die
come on!
Norika, move back
Slowly... don't be nervous
A bit more...
Don't worry, slow down
Don't be nervous... Be careful...
just grab me tight...
Hurry up... help me
Be careful...grab tight
That's fine
Darren, thanks for taking care everything
for me
If it is not you, I really don't know what
would happen
It's my pleasure
You are the only family of Alex
I want you to keep this for him
You have to take care yourself when you
get to Milan
when you become a famous designer!
Don't forget me
No one will forget you
I am sure I will come back to Shanghai
Thanks!
Bye!
Bye bye!
Hey! Hey!
Thanks!
So, can you stay for a while?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I depend what you'll do
What'd you like me to do?
