Hunter (1984–1991): Season 2, Episode 2 - Night of the Dragons - full transcript
Hunter and McCall's investigation of a killing in Chinatown leads them to a Chinese gang leader being pursued by a police officer with a personal interest in the case.
THIS PLACE IS TERRIFIC.
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THE FOOD.
GUESS HE LOST THE ARGUMENT.
AS SOON AS THEY FIND
OUT ABOUT NIM'S DEATH,
CHINESE BLOOD'S GONNA
FLOW ALL OVER TOWN.
HE WON'T TALK.
PROBABLY NO LIFE INSURANCE.
THIS IS KIDNAPPING, BUDDY.
THIS WILL BE THE
NIGHT OF THE DRAGONS.
I DON'T EVEN LIKE CHINESE FOOD.
WORKS FOR ME.
Hunter: YOU KNOW, McCALL,
I KNOW YOU WON THE BET,
BUT DON'T YOU THINK THIS
IS RUBBING IT IN A LITTLE BIT?
GIVE IT A REST, WILL YOU?
THIS PLACE IS TERRIFIC.
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THE FOOD.
DO ME A FAVOR AND ORDER
ME SOMETHING EDIBLE.
AND I DON'T MEAN...
MARINATED CLAM LIPS, EITHER.
I'M GONNA USE THE PHONE.
AH, OF COURSE. OUT OF ORDER.
EXCUSE ME. CAN
ANYBODY HERE TELL ME
WHERE I CAN FIND A
PHONE THAT WORKS?
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
I TOLD YOU, PAL.
I WAS LOOKING FOR A TELEPHONE.
NONE HERE. NOW GET OUT.
I AGREE WITH YOU, PAL.
THE CUSTOMER'S ALWAYS RIGHT.
GREAT AMBIENCE
HERE, McCALL, REALLY.
DEAD DUCKS HANGING
UP IN THE KITCHEN.
YOU GOT GENGHIS
KHAN IN THE HALLWAY
AND A PHONE THAT'S OUT TO LUNCH.
SO, WHAT'D YOU ORDER ME?
NUMBER 36.
WHAT'S THAT?
BOILED SHARK FIN.
IT'S GREAT.
OH, THIS IS GREAT.
WILL YOU RELAX?
LOOK, I REALLY GOT YOU
CHINESE VEGETABLES, OK?
AND THEY ARE GOOD.
GREAT.
LET'S ASK SOME
QUESTIONS, HUNTER.
Hunter: LOOKING FOR
SOMEONE, LIEUTENANT?
RICK!
RAYMOND LAU. HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD, GOOD. AND YOU?
I'M DOING VERY WELL.
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN YEARS.
I KNOW.
YOU'RE SO SHORT.
HA HA HA! YOU'RE TALL.
THIS IS DEE DEE McCALL. THIS
IS LIEUTENANT RAYMOND LAU.
HI. HI.
HOW'S BARBARA AND KIM?
OH, THEY'RE FINE, FINE.
WE GO BACK A LONG
WAY TO THE ACADEMY.
WE WERE COMPATRIOTS THERE.
NOW LAU IS IN CHARGE
OF THE ASIAN TASK
FORCE DOWNTOWN HERE.
OH. GOOD.
SO, WHAT'S THE STORY HERE NOW?
WELL, IT'S HARD TO
SAY. NO SUBTITLES.
WE GOT A DEAD BODY FOR YOU.
GOOD.
Hunter: HE'S GONE.
Lau: PROBABLY JUST WOUNDED.
GUESS HE RAN.
NO WAY, RAYMOND.
THAT GUY WAS DEAD.
I CHECKED HIM. I SAW
HIM TAKE THE HITS.
HE DIDN'T WALK OUT OF HERE.
WELL, WHERE'S THE BODY, RICK?
SO, WHAT IS IT? A ROBBERY?
NO. 4 VIETNAMESE CAME
THROUGH THAT DOOR,
HOT UNDER THE COLLAR.
NOW, AN ARGUMENT BROKE OUT
RIGHT HERE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR
AND THE NEXT THING WE
KNEW, BULLETS WERE FLYING.
ARE YOU SURE THEY
WERE VIETNAMESE?
I WAS IN VIETNAM, REMEMBER?
UH, CHINESE...
HAD A VIET IN THE BACK
ROOM. THEY WERE ARGUING.
WHERE'D THE CHINESE GO?
WELL, OUT THE BACK AND
OVER THE WALL, I GUESS.
WELL, WHO SHOT FIRST?
I DON'T KNOW.
DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE TO YOU?
YEAH, WELL...
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF GANG
ACTIVITY DOWN HERE LATELY AND...
I GOT A HUNCH ABOUT
THIS MISSING BODY.
WHAT'S THAT?
THE CHINESE CAME
BACK TO GET HIM,
TO GIVE HIM A PROPER BURIAL.
NOW, I'LL BET IF YOU CHECK
THE NEXT BIG CHINESE FUNERAL,
YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING.
HUH. THAT'S AN
INTERESTING IDEA, RICK,
BUT THIS IS JUST A SMALL
PIECE TO A BIG PUZZLE,
AND I DON'T HAVE TIME TO
FOLLOW UP ON NO LONGSHOTS.
BUT THANKS ANYWAY.
IT WAS NICE MEETING
YOU. EXCUSE ME.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
ON YOUR DAY OFF, McCALL?
GOING TO A CHINESE FUNERAL?
YEAH.
Hunter: THAT IS THE
GREAT WALL OF CHINA.
MORE LIKE GODZILLA.
BINGO. THERE'S OUR MAN.
HONEY, TAKE MY PICTURE.
IT'S A CHINESE WEDDING.
BIFF AND MUFFY'LL LOVE IT.
YOU LOOK GOOD, HONEY.
SAY CHEESE.
AH. UH-OH. UH-OH. COME HERE.
LOOK OUT. COME ON. COME ON.
Man: GIVE ME THAT CAMERA!
HEY! GIVE ME THAT CAMERA!
STAY RIGHT THERE, WHALE BAIT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING
ANYWHERE, BUDDY.
THINK AGAIN, BUDDY.
AAH!
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.
PUT IT DOWN.
HE TORE MY SHIRT.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
FOR WHAT?
ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER,
ATTEMPTED THEFT OF MY CAMERA,
AND WANTON DESTRUCTION
OF PERSONAL PROPERTY.
THINK THIS GUY'S
GONNA FIT IN THE CAR?
YEAH, I'LL CALL A TOW TRUCK.
YEAH.
OH, THAT'S NICE.
COME ON, WHALE BAIT.
Hunter: LET'S GO, McCALL.
WHOA. YOU LOOK LIKE THE CAT
THAT SWALLOWED THE CANARY.
I'M GONNA GET TO REPAY
AN OLD DEBT TODAY.
OH? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, LIEUTENANT LAU AND I
WERE ROOMMATES AT THE ACADEMY.
HE COVERED ME WHEN I WAS AWOL.
HEY, RAYMOND!
THIS IS GOING TO
SETTLE AN OLD DEBT.
LIEUTENANT, HOW ARE YOU?
HUNTER.
FRESH FROM THE LAB.
NOW MAYBE YOU'LL GET OFF MY BACK
ABOUT THAT NIGHT AT THE ACADEMY.
HA HA! FAT CHANCE, HUNTER.
LOOK. THIS ONE AND THAT ONE.
HE WAS AT THE SHOOTING
THE OTHER NIGHT.
THIS ONE HERE RAN THE SHOW.
HE ALSO LEFT THE FUNERAL
IN A BLACK LIMOUSINE.
I CALLED TO SEE WHERE
THEY RENTED THE LIMOS FROM.
IT WAS FROM SOME
PLACE CALLED THE, UH...
CHANG RESTAURANTS SUPPLY
COMPANY. YOU KNOW THAT?
YEAH, I'VE HEARD OF IT.
HOW'D YOU GET THESE PICTURES?
WELL, WE'D NEVER BEEN
TO A CHINESE FUNERAL,
SO WE DECIDED TO GO TO ONE.
THIS BIG GUY HERE. HE'S
DOWNSTAIRS IN THE SLAMMER.
YOU ARRESTED HIM?
SURE DID.
MIGHT WANT TO TALK TO
HIM BEFORE HE MAKES BAIL.
HE TRIED TO STEAL MY CAMERA.
BESIDES, HE RIPPED
MY GOOD SHIRT.
STOP. YOU'RE
RIPPING MY HEART OUT.
SERGEANT McCALL, RICK, THANKS.
I'LL CHECK ON THESE RIGHT AWAY.
THANKS, RAYMOND.
HEY, HOW ABOUT LUNCH?
UH, NEXT WEEK FOR SURE, HUH?
YOU SWAMPED?
NEVER ENDS.
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO, RAYMOND.
ALL RIGHT, SCHEDULE THE LINE-UP
FOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I DON'T WANT THE WITNESS
GETTING COLD FEET.
YEAH.
NO. ABSOLUTELY NO OVERTIME.
RIGHT.
NOT NOW, SHIRLEY.
AND HOLD ALL CALLS.
ANYWAY, WE FOUND A SUSPECT
THAT ONLY McCALL
AND I COULD IDENTIFY.
AND WE DID IT ON
OUR DAY OFF, TOO.
YEAH, BUT NOBODY
ASKED FOR YOUR HELP.
THAT'S MY POINT.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
GET THIS, CAPTAIN.
2 HOURS AGO, WE GIVE LAU
THE BIGGEST CLUE HE'S HAD,
AND THE GUY GOES AND
TELLS THE DEPUTY CHIEF
THAT WE'RE GETTING IN THE WAY.
NOW, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
IN THE PAST FEW YEARS,
THE VIETNAMESE POPULATION
HAS DOUBLED IN THIS CITY.
AND THEY'RE LIVING RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF CHINATOWN,
AND THAT'S CAUSING A
LOT OF REAL PROBLEMS,
CONSIDERING THE
THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD GRUDGE
THEY CARRY FOR EACH OTHER.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE
ASIAN TASK FORCE COMES IN,
AND THAT'S WHY I DON'T WANT
YOU TWO GETTING INVOLVED.
THIS IS A JOB FOR SPECIALISTS,
WHICH YOU TWO ARE NOT.
THEN WHY DIDN'T
RAYMOND, LIEUTENANT LAU,
TELL US ABOUT THAT?
BECAUSE I'M TELLING YOU NOW.
NOW, IT'S AN AREA
THAT THE CHIEF IS
NERVOUS AS HELL ABOUT.
SOMETHING'S BOILING
UP DOWN THERE,
AND HE WANTS IT CONTAINED.
NOW, LAU KNOWS HOW TO
DO THAT, AND YOU DON'T.
AND WON'T.
THAT'S AN ORDER. GOT IT.
DON'T I OWE YOU DINNER?
FORGET IT, HUNTER. JUST BECAUSE
YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH
NEXT TO THE GUY FOR A YEAR,
DOESN'T MEAN YOU KNOW HIM.
LAU AND I WERE
DAMN CLOSE FRIENDS.
WELL, MAYBE RAY TURNED
INTO A POLITICAL WUSSY.
PEOPLE DO CHANGE, YOU KNOW.
YEAH. NOT THAT MUCH.
FINE.
LOOK, THE CAPTAIN
WAS PRETTY EXPLICIT
ABOUT US STAYING
OUT OF LAU'S WAY,
SO WHY DON'T WE GET
OUT OF CHINATOWN, HUH?
LET'S GO GET SOME ITALIAN FOOD.
HOW ABOUT SOME CALAMARI FRITTI?
SQUID?
IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.
Radio: ANY UNITS IN THE
VICINITY OF THE PACIFIC PAGODA,
D.B. FOUND. POSSIBLE
187. SPAWN CODE 2.
LIKE YOU SAID, LET'S
GET OUT OF CHINATOWN.
LET'S NOT STICK AROUND
AND I.D. THE BODY
BEFORE DINNER, OK?
YOU GUYS MUST GET PAID
A BUNDLE FOR OVERTIME.
WELL, WE WERE JUST
A FEW MINUTES AWAY,
AND IT WAS CALLED AS
ANY UNITS IN THE VICINITY.
IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
Hunter: I GOT A QUESTION
FOR YOU, RAYMOND.
WHY DID YOU GO TO THE DEPUTY
CHIEF INSTEAD OF ME ON THIS?
I TRIED, RICK. BUT I
COULDN'T FIND YOU.
LOOK, I'VE BEEN UP TO MY BUTT
IN THIS STUFF, AND...
SO I ASKED THE DEPUTY
CHIEF TO HAVE YOU EASE OFF,
'CAUSE THIS IS A
DELICATE SITUATION.
DID IT SOUND LIKE I COMPLAINED?
'CAUSE I DIDN'T.
LIEUTENANT LAU?
YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT HIM
BEFORE WE SHIP
HIM TO THE MORGUE?
YEAH.
VIETNAMESE.
MALE. AROUND 45.
DO ME A FAVOR. LET ME SEE
HOW HE'S DRESSED, WILL YOU?
THIS IS THE GUY WHO ARGUED
WITH THE CHINESE BIG-WIG
AT THE RESTAURANT THAT
NIGHT OF THE SHOOTING.
GUESS HE LOST THE ARGUMENT.
DID YOU REALLY SEE HIM?
I MEAN, COULD YOU
SWEAR TO THAT, RICK?
YEAH, SURE I COULD.
OK, UH...
I'LL SEE IF ANY OF
THIS CONNECTS, HUH?
LOOK, YOU OWE ME A DINNER.
REMEMBER? WE GOT A BET.
COME ON.
SEE YOU AROUND, RAYMOND.
Lau: WHY DID YOU MAKE
A PUBLIC SPECTACLE
OF THIS MURDER, CHANG?
IT SERVES AS A WARNING
TO THOSE WHO
WOULD DARE RESIST ME.
COULDN'T YOU HAVE
PHONED THEM UP?
DID YOU HAVE TO GO ON
NATIONAL TELEVISION NEWS?
WELL, THE MURDER WAS PRIVATE.
THE MESSAGE WAS PUBLIC.
YEAH, WELL YOU JUST MADE
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE, CHANG.
'CAUSE ONCE THOSE MEDIA
DOGS HAVE THE SCENT,
THEY'RE NOT GONNA
LET THIS THING GO.
ALL DOGS TIRE OF A SCENT
THAT LEADS THEM TO NOTHING.
CALM YOURSELF, LIEUTENANT.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
AH, THANK YOU, MONGOL.
THERE IS SOMETHING I
NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE ON.
TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS
AND TELL ME THE WHEREABOUTS
OF THOSE MEN, LIEUTENANT.
WHY, CHANG? WHY DO
YOU WANT TO FIND THEM?
OH, DON'T ASK ME
WHY. JUST DO IT.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE HIM DO THIS?
IT'S OBVIOUS
THAT YOU CAN GET
PLACES WHERE HE CAN'T.
JUST FIND THEM.
I CAN'T GUARANTEE YOU ANYTHING,
BUT, UH, I'LL LOOK INTO THIS.
LIEUTENANT, I'M SURE
YOU CAN FIND THEM.
AFTER ALL, IT'S TO THE BEST
OF YOUR INTEREST, HUH?
HMM...
WHY ARE YOU SO EAGER?
WE HAVEN'T EVEN
COMPLETED OUR BUSINESS YET.
WHAT ELSE?
THERE'S THESE 2
AMERICAN SERGEANTS.
THEY ANNOY ME. THEY
ARE BEHAVING BADLY.
THEY WENT SO FAR
AS TO ARREST MONGOL.
THIS UPSET HIM VERY MUCH.
I DON'T NEED THE CONFLICT
FROM THESE GWEILO, HUH?
HUNTER AND McCALL
ARE OFF THE CASE.
HEY, THAT'S GOOD. GOOD.
THERE IS ONE LAST THING
THAT I WANT YOU TO DO FOR ME.
I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
I CAN'T TOUCH HIM NOW.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
I NEED THAT WITNESS.
I NEED HIM. WITHOUT HIM,
THERE CAN BE NO TRANSACTION.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
YEAH.
I UNDERSTAND.
YOU KNOW, MONGOL, I DON'T
TRUST THESE AMERICAN-BORNS.
NOW THAT HUNTER AND
McCALL ARE OFF THE CASE,
I HOPE YOU'RE
SATISFIED AND HAPPY.
NO. THAT MAN OWES ME A DEBT.
I WILL COLLECT.
NO, NO, NOT RIGHT NOW.
I JUST WANT YOU TO OBSERVE
THEM FOR THE TIME BEING.
IF THEY GET IN MY HAIR AGAIN,
THEN I WILL GIVE THEM TO
YOU AS A HUMBLE PRESENT,
A DESSERT.
Hunter: WASN'T SURE TILL
NOW, BUT I KNOW THIS GUY.
McCall: WHO IS HE?
GENERAL LUK NIAM NIM.
HE HASN'T BEEN IN THE HEADLINES
IN OVER 10 YEARS.
WASN'T HE THE GUY THEY
CALLED THE PEOPLE'S GENERAL?
HE WAS THE LAST BIG-SHOT
OUT OF SAIGON, RIGHT?
STILL FLYING HIS OWN
HELICOPTER, I THINK.
HUNTER AND McCALL,
YOU GOT A MINUTE?
YEAH.
I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT YOU TWO
AREN'T CRAZY, SO YOU TELL ME.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPP... WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I JUST GOT A REPORT
FROM THE ASIAN TASK FORCE
THAT YOU WERE AT THE
SCENE OF THEIR INVESTIGATION
UP AT PACIFIC PAGODA.
ASIAN TASK FORCE. YOU
MEAN LIEUTENANT LAU?
ACTUALLY, IT WAS
THE DUTY SERGEANT.
HUNTER OWES ME A CHINESE DINNER,
SO WE WERE NEAR CHINATOWN.
IT WAS AN ANY UNITS
IN THE VICINITY CALL,
AND WE WERE THERE IN MINUTES.
AS SOON AS WE SAW
LIEUTENANT LAU, WE LEFT, OK?
DON'T YOU KNOW ANY
OTHER PLACE IN THIS CITY
TO EAT BESIDES CHINATOWN?
I DON'T EVEN LIKE CHINESE FOOD.
SO, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, RIGHT?
RIGHT.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY
QUARREL WITH LIEUTENANT LAU?
EXCEPT FOR THE FACT HE
CALLED YOU INSTEAD OF ME.
WELL, WE'RE ALL UNDER
PRESSURE, HUNTER.
SO, BOTTOM LINE...
NO MORE STRANGE
COINCIDENCES. RIGHT?
RIGHT.
WE GOT A TAIL?
DON'T LOOK BACK.
YEAH, WE GOT A TAIL ALL RIGHT.
GREAT.
CAPTAIN SAID NO MORE STRANGE
COINCIDENCES, REMEMBER?
THIS IS NO COINCIDENCE.
THIS IS A TAIL.
HOLD ON.
HUNTER, LOOK. WHY ARE
WE RUNNING FROM HIM, HUH?
WHY DON'T WE JUST PULL OVER
AND SEE WHAT'S GOING DOWN HERE?
WHO SAYS THEY'RE
GONNA PULL OVER?
WE GOT TO GUARANTEE
THAT THEY'LL PULL OVER.
OK, FINE. HOW DO WE DO THAT?
HOLD ON.
LET'S SEE WHAT THIS BABY'LL DO.
COME ON, DETROIT.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
GET OUT!
SAY CHEESE.
YOU MADE BAIL REAL QUICK,
DIDN'T YOU, WHALE BAIT?
McCall: YOUR BOSS IS
GONNA BE REAL HAPPY
WITH THE TAB YOU'RE RUNNING,
BECAUSE YOU'RE
UNDER ARREST AGAIN.
I MIGHT LET YOU
GO WITH A WARNING
IF YOU TELL ME WHY
YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING ME.
McCall: RECKLESS DRIVING
AND CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS.
YOU'RE A REAL SCOFFLAW,
AREN'T YOU, WHALE BAIT?
TURN AROUND.
WELL, WE SHOULD DO THIS AGAIN
SOME OTHER TIME, FATSO.
GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME.
ARE YOU SERGEANT HUNTER
AND SERGEANT McCALL?
YES.
I WORK FOR A MAN OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE FROM SAIGON
WHO WOULD VERY MUCH
LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.
WELL, YOU BOYS OUGHT TO TALK
TO RAYMOND LAU, HE'S THE MAN.
THIS IMPORTANT PERSON
WOULD NOT SPEAK
WITH LIEUTENANT LAU.
HE WISH TO SPEAK TO YOU.
IT'S A PRIVATE MATTER.
YEAH. WE'LL FOLLOW YOU.
Man: I HAVE HEARD THAT
YOU ARE NOT OUR ENEMY,
AS LIEUTENANT RAYMOND LAU IS.
WELL, MR. NIM, THE
ASIAN TASK FORCE
IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
BALL GAME, YOU KNOW?
NONETHELESS, YOUR
ACTIONS WITH CHANG'S PEOPLE
SPEAK OTHERWISE.
McCall: IS THAT THE
NAME OF THE MAN, CHANG?
IS HE ASSOCIATED
WITH CHANG'S RESTAURANT
SUPPLY COMPANY?
I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE.
THE LEADER OF OUR COMMUNITY
HAS BEEN MISSING
SINCE YESTERDAY.
PERHAPS YOU'VE HEARD OF HIM.
GENERAL LUK NIAM
NIM. HE IS MY SON.
WELL, I'M SORRY
THAT WE HAVE TO BE
THE FIRST TO TELL YOU THIS,
BUT YOUR SON IS DEAD.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY.
MY MAN WILL SEE YOU OUT.
WELL, SIR, EXCUSE
ME, BUT I THINK
WE MIGHT STILL BE ABLE
TO HELP EACH OTHER HERE.
THERE'S NOTHING WE
CAN DO FOR YOUR SON,
BUT MAYBE WE COULD
JOIN FORCES TOGETHER
TO GET THE PEOPLE
WHO KILLED HIM.
DO YOU KNOW HOW CHANG
WAS INVOLVED WITH YOUR SON?
THE MATTER HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH POLICE NOW.
WE MUST HANDLE
IT IN OUR OWN WAY.
LET'S NOT FORGET ONE THING.
THIS IS NOT SAIGON.
THIS IS LOS ANGELES.
YOU ARE MISTAKEN,
SERGEANT HUNTER.
THIS IS CHINATOWN.
McCall: GOD, HOW I HATE
DELIVERING NEWS LIKE THAT.
Hunter: YEAH, I KNOW,
McCALL, BUT IF YOU DIDN'T,
THERE'D BE SOMETHING
WRONG WITH YOU, YOU KNOW?
Hunter: WELL, IF I WERE NIM,
I'D BE GETTING
READY TO GO TO WAR.
I THINK HE IS.
YEAH, I'D LIKE TO FIND
OUT IF MR. NIM HAS PERMITS
FOR ALL THOSE FIREARMS
HE HAS LAYING AROUND.
WELL, YOU BETTER
DO IT QUICK, McCALL.
SOMETHING'S GOING ON HERE
THAT DOESN'T QUITE
SMELL RIGHT TO ME.
I'VE GOT THAT QUEASY FEELING
LIKE THE ONE I HAD
JUST BEFORE KHE SANH,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
McCall: DIDN'T WE LOSE THAT ONE?
HUNTER, LOOK OUT!
FREEZE!
GET OUT.
GET OUT OF THE CAR.
GET OUT OF THE CAR!
SAY CHEESE.
TAKE A HIKE, WHALE BAIT.
WHAT DID MR. LUK WANT FROM YOU?
HE WANTED TO BUY
A COUPLE OF TICKETS
TO THE POLICEMEN'S BALL.
FOR GOD'S SAKES, HUNTER,
WILL YOU STOP BEING A HERO?
THE OLD MAN WANTED TO
KNOW WHO KILLED HIS SON.
HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT
YOUR BOSS HAD HIM ICED.
NOW, THAT'S IT. AS
SOON AS HE FOUND OUT
THE GENERAL WAS DEAD, WE
WERE OUT THE DOOR, ALL RIGHT?
I'VE BEEN TOLD KILLING
COPS IS NOT WISE,
BUT IF I SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN,
I'M GONNA FORGET
THAT GOOD ADVICE.
UHH!
Hunter: WHEN WE
LEFT YOUR OFFICE,
WE WERE TAILED BY
A COUPLE OF THUGS
FROM THAT FUNERAL
DOWN IN CHINATOWN.
AND THEY FORCED
YOU TO ARREST THEM?
THEY WERE DRIVING RECKLESSLY
AND CARRYING CONCEALED HEAT.
SPEAKING OF WHICH,
IT'S GOT TO BE OVER 100 IN HERE.
WELL, THE AIR-CONDITIONER'S
BROKEN IN HERE.
BUT BUSINESS AS USUAL,
IT SEEMS, FOR YOU TWO.
HELLO.
OH, LORD. I FORGOT
ALL ABOUT HIM.
APOLOGIZE TO HIM AND ASSURE HIM
THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
WATCH PROGRAM
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME
AND RESCHEDULE AGAIN
FOR SOME TIME NEXT WEEK.
ANY SIGN OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF?
ALL RIGHT.
HUNTER, LEAVE THE JACKET ON.
THE DEPUTY CHIEF WILL
BE HERE ANY MINUTE.
SO, WHERE DO THE
VIETNAMESE COME INTO THIS?
THEY SAID THEIR
BOSS WANTED TO TALK,
SO HUNTER TRIED TO
STEER THEM TO LAU,
BUT THEY WEREN'T BUYING IT.
Hunter: THEY SAID HE
WOULDN'T TALK TO LAU.
AH, PUT IT OVER THERE.
CAPTAIN, LOOK.
WOULDN'T YOU AGREE
THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
VERY BAD POLICE WORK,
IF WE HAD NOT GONE ALONG?
LOOK, WE'RE JUST
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE.
AND WE THINK WE MAY HAVE
FIGURED SOMETHING OUT.
WHO IS THIS?
McCall: GENERAL LUK NIAM NIM.
THE LEADER OF THE L.A.
VIETNAMESE COMMUNITY.
HE'S THE ONE THAT TURNED UP DEAD
AT THE PACIFIC PAGODA.
IT WAS THE GENERAL'S FATHER
WHO WANTED TO TALK TO US.
YEAH, AS SOON AS THEY
FIND OUT ABOUT NIM'S DEATH,
CHINESE BLOOD'S GONNA
FLOW ALL OVER TOWN.
ARE YOU THE AUTHORITY ON
CHINATOWN NOW, SERGEANT?
THESE RIBS MAKE IT MY BUSINESS,
WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT.
AND BEFORE WE BOIL IN
OUR OWN OIL HERE, CAPTAIN,
DON'T YOU THINK WE
DESERVE AN EXPLANATION?
ALL RIGHT.
CHANG WAS THE SECOND BIGGEST MAN
IN THE CHINESE UNDERWORLD.
NOW HE'S THE BIGGEST.
5 DAYS AGO, LIEUTENANT
LAU SET UP A STING OPERATION
FOR CHANG AND HIS BOSS.
SOMETHING WENT WRONG.
WE LOST ONE OF OUR OWN MEN
AND ALL THE VIDEO TAPE THEY HAD.
WHO SCREWED IT UP?
CHANG.
HE THOUGHT HIS OWN BOSS
WAS PULLING THE SWITCH ON HIM,
SO HE SHOT HIM DEAD ON THE SPOT.
THEN HE KILLED OUR
UNDERCOVER MAN
WHO WAS WORKING
AS CHANG'S FLUNKY.
IT WAS A MESS.
BUT...
LIEUTENANT LAU PULLED
IT OUT OF THE FIRE.
HOW'D HE DO THAT?
HE GOT A CLASS-A
WITNESS TO THE MURDER,
ONE OF CHANG'S LIEUTENANTS.
JUST ONE PROBLEM.
HE WON'T TALK.
PROBABLY NO LIFE INSURANCE.
LAU PERSUADED ME AND THE CHIEF
THAT IF WE DO THIS HIS WAY,
HE'D DELIVER THE WITNESS.
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO DAMN
IMPORTANT THAT NOTHING GO WRONG.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M
TELLING YOU EVERYTHING,
SO YOU GET IT THIS TIME,
AND YOU STAY THE HELL OUT.
WELL, I GOT IT. BUT I WANT
YOU TO KNOW ONE THING.
LAU AND I ARE VERY CLOSE.
I WANT TO TELL HIM IN DETAIL
OF MY CONVERSATION
WITH NIM'S FATHER.
IN PERSON, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
ALL RIGHT, FINE. YOU
DO THAT, HUNTER.
YEAH. SEND HIM IN.
WOMAN'S TOUCH.
DID YOU PLAY WITH HORNETS'
NESTS WHEN YOU WERE A KID, HUNTER?
DIDN'T EVERYBODY?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
ALWAYS GOT TO HAVE A PLAN B.
SERGEANT QUONG?
YOU GOT A MINUTE?
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
LAU UPSTAIRS?
NO. WHERE IS HE?
I'M SORRY. I CAN'T TELL YOU.
LOOK, QUONG,
THESE WIRE PHOTOS JUST
CAME IN FROM WASHINGTON D.C.
THEY'RE A TOP PRIORITY.
NOW, YOU'RE WASTING
MY TIME. WHERE IS HE?
I DON'T KNOW.
COME ON, QUONG.
YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS
AND WHEN HE'S
CHANGING HIS SOCKS.
McCall: YEAH. DEPUTY
CHIEF, PLEASE.
WELL, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO INTERRUPT HIM,
BECAUSE I GUARANTEE YOU
THIS IS A LOT MORE IMPORTANT.
NOW, WE GOT A LITTLE PROBLEM
DOWN HERE AT THE
ASIAN TASK FORCE.
THERE IS A SERGEANT Q...
HE'S AT THE WANG
CHOO RESTAURANT.
CHINATOWN.
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING'S
WRONG, McCALL.
YOU MEAN THE PITCH
THE CAPTAIN GAVE US
ABOUT LAU AND HIS WITNESS?
DOESN'T ADD UP FOR ME, EITHER.
YOU KNOW, IF EVERYTHING
WAS AS SMOOTH
AS THE CAPTAIN MADE IT SOUND,
DON'T YOU THINK LAU WOULD HAVE
TOLD ME SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?
HE'S OVER AT WANG
CHOO. THAT'S CHANG'S TURF.
YEAH, AND WE HAD TO
TWIST A SERGEANT'S ARM
JUST TO FIND THAT OUT.
MIGHT AS WELL SAY IT, HUNTER.
I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S HERE.
BOY, I HATE CROOKED COPS.
YOU'VE BEEN MAKING ALL
KINDS OF DELAYS, LIEUTENANT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE
GOING TO DOUBLE CROSS ME.
DOUBLE CR...
HUH. THOSE ARE HARSH WORDS.
NOW, I WANT THAT PRISONER
AND WHEN YOU HAVE
HIM IN YOUR POSSESSION,
THEN CALL ME.
HMMPH.
DON'T WORRY, HUH? FEEL SAFE.
I WANT GUARANTEES,
NOT ASSURANCES.
LISTEN, YOU'RE IN NO POSITION
TO MAKE ANY DEMANDS ON ME.
I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW...
DON'T YOU DARE TEST MY
PATIENCE ANY FURTHER.
MY WORD IS MY BOND.
IT'S BEEN SO FOR 1,000
YEARS IN MY FAMILY.
HMMPH.
BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, WOULD YOU?
YOU'RE AN AMERICAN-BORN CHINESE.
MR. CHANG,
THOSE 2 POLICE SERGEANTS
JUST DROVE UP OUTSIDE!
MONGOL, STOP THEM.
HE'LL SEE LIEUTENANT LAU.
McCALL!
UHH!
LAU!
GET US OUT OF HERE, LAU,
AND PULL INTO THE
FIRST ALLEYWAY.
WHOA, NOW, RICK. THIS
IS RAYMOND HERE, OK?
RAYMOND WHO, SCUZZBALL?
SETTLE DOWN, HUNTER. I
KNOW HOW THIS MUST LOOK,
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW
THE STORY HERE, OK?
LOOK, I'VE HAD YOUR CRAP
UP TO HERE, RAYMOND.
NOW THEY GOT McCALL. WHAT
THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
I KNOW THEY GOT McCALL.
BUT SHE'S STILL ALIVE. I
SAW HER WITH MONGOL.
I KNOW WHERE SHE IS.
GOOD. WHERE IS SHE?
SHE'S IN SOME TUNNELS
UNDER THE WANG CHOO.
GOOD. LET'S GO THERE.
NO, WAIT, RICK.
I... I GOT TO TALK TO SERGEANT
QUONG FIRST, ALL RIGHT?
LOOK, QUONG WAS THE ONLY ONE
THAT KNEW WE WERE AT THE WANG
CHOO RESTAURANT, TONIGHT, HUH?
WHAT WAS HIS CUT OUT OF THIS?
LET ME ASK YOU THIS, RAYMOND.
WHAT WAS YOUR CUT OUT OF IT?
YOU GOT TO LISTEN TO ME, RICK.
CHANG MURDERED HIS BOSS
AND KILLED ONE OF MY MEN.
BUT THERE WAS A WITNESS.
NOW, THE DAY I BUSTED HIM,
CHANG KIDNAPPED MY DAUGHTER.
THEY GOT KIM?
YEAH, AND THAT'S WHY
I COULDN'T TELL YOU ANYTHING.
THEY'RE PROBABLY
HOLDING HER AND McCALL
IN THE SAME PLACE.
NOW, LET ME MAKE THIS CALL.
'CAUSE ALL HELL'S
GONNA BREAK LOOSE
DOWN HERE ANY SECOND,
AND IT'S OUR ONE CHANCE
TO GET KIM AND McCALL.
THIS IS LIEUTENANT LAU.
PATCH ME THROUGH
TO QUONG'S ASIAN TASK
FORCE IMMEDIATELY.
IT'S A CODE 3 EMERGENCY.
Woman on radio: STAND BY.
LIEUTENANT LAU. QUONG?
NO, SIR, WE CAN'T LOCATE
HIM. HE'S OUT OF THE OFFICE.
WELL, FIND HIM!
ALL UNITS, SHOTS
FIRED AT BOREDAN HILL.
POSSIBLE GANG-RELATED CODE 3.
THAT'S CHINATOWN.
THAT'S CHANG'S PHASE 2.
THAT'S WHY I CAN'T MOVE
UNTIL I TALK TO QUONG.
THIS IS SERGEANT
QUONG. LIEUTENANT LAU?
SERGEANT. YEAH.
CHANG'S MAKING HIS
MOVE IN LITTLE SAIGON.
ACTIVATE PLANS "A" AND "B."
THEN I WANT YOU
IN FRONT OF THE WANG
CHOO IMMEDIATELY.
GOT IT? YES, SIR.
I'M ON IT NOW. OUT.
LET'S GO.
CHANG'S MEN HAVE
JUST LAUNCHED PHASE 2.
ROUND UP OF ALL OF NIM'S
LIEUTENANTS... ABOUT 12 MEN.
THEY'RE GONNA DO WHAT AL
CAPONE DID ON ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.
THEY'RE GONNA KILL 'EM ALL.
WELL, YOUR UNIT CAN DO
WHATEVER IT WANTS TO.
MY JOB IS TO FIND McCALL.
WHEN QUONG AND OUR
SWAT TEAMS GET HERE,
CHANG WILL BE
SPREAD PRETTY THIN,
SO THERE'LL ONLY BE A SKELETON
GUARD ON KIM AND McCALL.
THEY SHOULD BE SIGNALLING
US ANY SECOND NOW.
DAMN IT! WHERE'S THAT SIGNAL?
THERE IT IS.
LET'S GO.
OK, COME ON, HONEY.
I'LL GO FIRST.
YES, YOU WILL.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
KIM. KIM LAU.
THIS IS KIDNAPPING, BUDDY.
YOU CAN GET THE DEATH
PENALTY FOR THIS, YOU KNOW?
Lau: HEY, HEY! MONGOL NEEDS
ONE OF YOU UPSTAIRS IMMEDIATELY!
Lau: MONGOL NEEDS ONE OF
YOU RIGHT NOW! LET'S MOVE IT!
COME ON, COME ON!
MONGOL WANTS YOU NOW!
Hunter: DROP IT!
KIM.
DADDY.
OHH.
HOW YOU DOING?
OK.
Man: MONGOL!
THAT WAY!
TAKE HIM DOWN THERE.
AND BE CAREFUL. I'LL DRAW
THEIR FIRE FROM BACK HERE.
THIS WILL BE THE
NIGHT OF THE DRAGONS.
THEY SHOULD ALL BE HERE NOW.
EXCEPT ONE.
WHERE ARE WE?
AT THE GATE OF HELL.
YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THIS TO US.
WE WANT PEACE.
OH, I'LL GIVE YOU PEACE.
MY PEACE.
YEAH.
HOW LONG AGO?
ON MY WAY.
CALL THE GARAGE. GET
MY CAR DOWNSTAIRS.
JOHNSON, COME WITH ME.
WE GOT TO BE IN
CHINATOWN IN 5 MINUTES.
DON'T WORRY, HONEY.
DADDY'LL BE JUST FINE.
THE SERGEANT WILL TAKE
REAL GOOD CARE OF YOU.
MOVE IT.
YES, SIR.
WE WILL RESPECT YOUR STRENGTH.
YOU HAVE TAKEN MY SON AWAY,
BUT THEIR WILL BE NO REPRISALS.
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S VERY REASSURING.
BUT I WILL SLEEP MUCH BETTER
KNOWING THAT NONE OF YOU
WILL WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING
WITH A CHANGE OF MIND.
IF YOU DO THIS THING, THE
KILLING WILL NEVER STOP
UNTIL EVERY ONE OF
OUR PEOPLE IS DEAD.
AS FOR MY SON, THE
WAR IS FINALLY OVER.
BUT FOR YOU, CHANG,
IT WILL JUST BEGIN.
THERE'S ONE THING I LEARNED
ABOUT YOU PEOPLE, NIM.
IN FACT, FROM YOUR SON.
IT DOES NO GOOD TO TALK.
THERE IS ONE THING THAT
YOU UNDERSTAND ONLY...
THE GUN.
SO BE IT.
YING.
LIEUTENANT LAU.
WE GOT CHANG AND THE HOSTAGES
IN A WAREHOUSE
A BLOCK WEST OF WANG
CHOO RESTAURANT.
HEAVY GUNFIRE!
COVER ME.
DROP YOUR WEAPONS
NOW. I SAID NOW!
Police officer: COME
ON. HURRY UP.
EVERYBODY UP AGAINST THE WALL.
MOVE IT. MOVE!
OK, COME ON.
WELL, WE GOT A FORTUNE
HERE FOR YOU, CHANG.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.
Officer: ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET
'EM OUTSIDE TO THE SQUAD CARS.
COME ON. HURRY IT UP.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
I THINK WE JUST STOPPED
A GANG WAR, CAPTAIN.
WE SURE DID.
OH, McCALL.
DON'T I OWE YOU
THAT CHINESE DINNER?
WELL, McCALL, YOU'RE FINALLY
GONNA GET THAT CHINESE DINNER
YOU'VE BEEN WORRYING
ME OUT ABOUT.
HOME-COOKED, NO LESS.
YEAH, TO THINK I ALMOST SETTLED
FOR A PIZZA WITH THE WORKS.
THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
SPECIALITY OF THE HOUSE.
MY MOM'S OWN RECIPE
FROM THE OLD COUNTRY.
AN EXOTIC ADVENTURE IN TASTE.
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?
SHU LUP TUN XHAO GI.
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
BARBECUED STEAK
AND FRENCH FRIES.
HEY! HA HA! HA HA HA!
McCall: HUNTER, YOU STILL
OWE ME A CHINESE DINNER.
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THE FOOD.
GUESS HE LOST THE ARGUMENT.
AS SOON AS THEY FIND
OUT ABOUT NIM'S DEATH,
CHINESE BLOOD'S GONNA
FLOW ALL OVER TOWN.
HE WON'T TALK.
PROBABLY NO LIFE INSURANCE.
THIS IS KIDNAPPING, BUDDY.
THIS WILL BE THE
NIGHT OF THE DRAGONS.
I DON'T EVEN LIKE CHINESE FOOD.
WORKS FOR ME.
Hunter: YOU KNOW, McCALL,
I KNOW YOU WON THE BET,
BUT DON'T YOU THINK THIS
IS RUBBING IT IN A LITTLE BIT?
GIVE IT A REST, WILL YOU?
THIS PLACE IS TERRIFIC.
YOU'RE GONNA LOVE THE FOOD.
DO ME A FAVOR AND ORDER
ME SOMETHING EDIBLE.
AND I DON'T MEAN...
MARINATED CLAM LIPS, EITHER.
I'M GONNA USE THE PHONE.
AH, OF COURSE. OUT OF ORDER.
EXCUSE ME. CAN
ANYBODY HERE TELL ME
WHERE I CAN FIND A
PHONE THAT WORKS?
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
I TOLD YOU, PAL.
I WAS LOOKING FOR A TELEPHONE.
NONE HERE. NOW GET OUT.
I AGREE WITH YOU, PAL.
THE CUSTOMER'S ALWAYS RIGHT.
GREAT AMBIENCE
HERE, McCALL, REALLY.
DEAD DUCKS HANGING
UP IN THE KITCHEN.
YOU GOT GENGHIS
KHAN IN THE HALLWAY
AND A PHONE THAT'S OUT TO LUNCH.
SO, WHAT'D YOU ORDER ME?
NUMBER 36.
WHAT'S THAT?
BOILED SHARK FIN.
IT'S GREAT.
OH, THIS IS GREAT.
WILL YOU RELAX?
LOOK, I REALLY GOT YOU
CHINESE VEGETABLES, OK?
AND THEY ARE GOOD.
GREAT.
LET'S ASK SOME
QUESTIONS, HUNTER.
Hunter: LOOKING FOR
SOMEONE, LIEUTENANT?
RICK!
RAYMOND LAU. HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD, GOOD. AND YOU?
I'M DOING VERY WELL.
I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN YEARS.
I KNOW.
YOU'RE SO SHORT.
HA HA HA! YOU'RE TALL.
THIS IS DEE DEE McCALL. THIS
IS LIEUTENANT RAYMOND LAU.
HI. HI.
HOW'S BARBARA AND KIM?
OH, THEY'RE FINE, FINE.
WE GO BACK A LONG
WAY TO THE ACADEMY.
WE WERE COMPATRIOTS THERE.
NOW LAU IS IN CHARGE
OF THE ASIAN TASK
FORCE DOWNTOWN HERE.
OH. GOOD.
SO, WHAT'S THE STORY HERE NOW?
WELL, IT'S HARD TO
SAY. NO SUBTITLES.
WE GOT A DEAD BODY FOR YOU.
GOOD.
Hunter: HE'S GONE.
Lau: PROBABLY JUST WOUNDED.
GUESS HE RAN.
NO WAY, RAYMOND.
THAT GUY WAS DEAD.
I CHECKED HIM. I SAW
HIM TAKE THE HITS.
HE DIDN'T WALK OUT OF HERE.
WELL, WHERE'S THE BODY, RICK?
SO, WHAT IS IT? A ROBBERY?
NO. 4 VIETNAMESE CAME
THROUGH THAT DOOR,
HOT UNDER THE COLLAR.
NOW, AN ARGUMENT BROKE OUT
RIGHT HERE IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR
AND THE NEXT THING WE
KNEW, BULLETS WERE FLYING.
ARE YOU SURE THEY
WERE VIETNAMESE?
I WAS IN VIETNAM, REMEMBER?
UH, CHINESE...
HAD A VIET IN THE BACK
ROOM. THEY WERE ARGUING.
WHERE'D THE CHINESE GO?
WELL, OUT THE BACK AND
OVER THE WALL, I GUESS.
WELL, WHO SHOT FIRST?
I DON'T KNOW.
DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE TO YOU?
YEAH, WELL...
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF GANG
ACTIVITY DOWN HERE LATELY AND...
I GOT A HUNCH ABOUT
THIS MISSING BODY.
WHAT'S THAT?
THE CHINESE CAME
BACK TO GET HIM,
TO GIVE HIM A PROPER BURIAL.
NOW, I'LL BET IF YOU CHECK
THE NEXT BIG CHINESE FUNERAL,
YOU'LL FIND SOMETHING.
HUH. THAT'S AN
INTERESTING IDEA, RICK,
BUT THIS IS JUST A SMALL
PIECE TO A BIG PUZZLE,
AND I DON'T HAVE TIME TO
FOLLOW UP ON NO LONGSHOTS.
BUT THANKS ANYWAY.
IT WAS NICE MEETING
YOU. EXCUSE ME.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
ON YOUR DAY OFF, McCALL?
GOING TO A CHINESE FUNERAL?
YEAH.
Hunter: THAT IS THE
GREAT WALL OF CHINA.
MORE LIKE GODZILLA.
BINGO. THERE'S OUR MAN.
HONEY, TAKE MY PICTURE.
IT'S A CHINESE WEDDING.
BIFF AND MUFFY'LL LOVE IT.
YOU LOOK GOOD, HONEY.
SAY CHEESE.
AH. UH-OH. UH-OH. COME HERE.
LOOK OUT. COME ON. COME ON.
Man: GIVE ME THAT CAMERA!
HEY! GIVE ME THAT CAMERA!
STAY RIGHT THERE, WHALE BAIT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING
ANYWHERE, BUDDY.
THINK AGAIN, BUDDY.
AAH!
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE.
PUT IT DOWN.
HE TORE MY SHIRT.
YOU'RE UNDER ARREST.
FOR WHAT?
ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER,
ATTEMPTED THEFT OF MY CAMERA,
AND WANTON DESTRUCTION
OF PERSONAL PROPERTY.
THINK THIS GUY'S
GONNA FIT IN THE CAR?
YEAH, I'LL CALL A TOW TRUCK.
YEAH.
OH, THAT'S NICE.
COME ON, WHALE BAIT.
Hunter: LET'S GO, McCALL.
WHOA. YOU LOOK LIKE THE CAT
THAT SWALLOWED THE CANARY.
I'M GONNA GET TO REPAY
AN OLD DEBT TODAY.
OH? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL, LIEUTENANT LAU AND I
WERE ROOMMATES AT THE ACADEMY.
HE COVERED ME WHEN I WAS AWOL.
HEY, RAYMOND!
THIS IS GOING TO
SETTLE AN OLD DEBT.
LIEUTENANT, HOW ARE YOU?
HUNTER.
FRESH FROM THE LAB.
NOW MAYBE YOU'LL GET OFF MY BACK
ABOUT THAT NIGHT AT THE ACADEMY.
HA HA! FAT CHANCE, HUNTER.
LOOK. THIS ONE AND THAT ONE.
HE WAS AT THE SHOOTING
THE OTHER NIGHT.
THIS ONE HERE RAN THE SHOW.
HE ALSO LEFT THE FUNERAL
IN A BLACK LIMOUSINE.
I CALLED TO SEE WHERE
THEY RENTED THE LIMOS FROM.
IT WAS FROM SOME
PLACE CALLED THE, UH...
CHANG RESTAURANTS SUPPLY
COMPANY. YOU KNOW THAT?
YEAH, I'VE HEARD OF IT.
HOW'D YOU GET THESE PICTURES?
WELL, WE'D NEVER BEEN
TO A CHINESE FUNERAL,
SO WE DECIDED TO GO TO ONE.
THIS BIG GUY HERE. HE'S
DOWNSTAIRS IN THE SLAMMER.
YOU ARRESTED HIM?
SURE DID.
MIGHT WANT TO TALK TO
HIM BEFORE HE MAKES BAIL.
HE TRIED TO STEAL MY CAMERA.
BESIDES, HE RIPPED
MY GOOD SHIRT.
STOP. YOU'RE
RIPPING MY HEART OUT.
SERGEANT McCALL, RICK, THANKS.
I'LL CHECK ON THESE RIGHT AWAY.
THANKS, RAYMOND.
HEY, HOW ABOUT LUNCH?
UH, NEXT WEEK FOR SURE, HUH?
YOU SWAMPED?
NEVER ENDS.
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO, RAYMOND.
ALL RIGHT, SCHEDULE THE LINE-UP
FOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I DON'T WANT THE WITNESS
GETTING COLD FEET.
YEAH.
NO. ABSOLUTELY NO OVERTIME.
RIGHT.
NOT NOW, SHIRLEY.
AND HOLD ALL CALLS.
ANYWAY, WE FOUND A SUSPECT
THAT ONLY McCALL
AND I COULD IDENTIFY.
AND WE DID IT ON
OUR DAY OFF, TOO.
YEAH, BUT NOBODY
ASKED FOR YOUR HELP.
THAT'S MY POINT.
YOU KNOW, I DON'T
GET THIS, CAPTAIN.
2 HOURS AGO, WE GIVE LAU
THE BIGGEST CLUE HE'S HAD,
AND THE GUY GOES AND
TELLS THE DEPUTY CHIEF
THAT WE'RE GETTING IN THE WAY.
NOW, WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
IN THE PAST FEW YEARS,
THE VIETNAMESE POPULATION
HAS DOUBLED IN THIS CITY.
AND THEY'RE LIVING RIGHT
IN THE MIDDLE OF CHINATOWN,
AND THAT'S CAUSING A
LOT OF REAL PROBLEMS,
CONSIDERING THE
THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD GRUDGE
THEY CARRY FOR EACH OTHER.
AND THAT'S WHERE THE
ASIAN TASK FORCE COMES IN,
AND THAT'S WHY I DON'T WANT
YOU TWO GETTING INVOLVED.
THIS IS A JOB FOR SPECIALISTS,
WHICH YOU TWO ARE NOT.
THEN WHY DIDN'T
RAYMOND, LIEUTENANT LAU,
TELL US ABOUT THAT?
BECAUSE I'M TELLING YOU NOW.
NOW, IT'S AN AREA
THAT THE CHIEF IS
NERVOUS AS HELL ABOUT.
SOMETHING'S BOILING
UP DOWN THERE,
AND HE WANTS IT CONTAINED.
NOW, LAU KNOWS HOW TO
DO THAT, AND YOU DON'T.
AND WON'T.
THAT'S AN ORDER. GOT IT.
DON'T I OWE YOU DINNER?
FORGET IT, HUNTER. JUST BECAUSE
YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH
NEXT TO THE GUY FOR A YEAR,
DOESN'T MEAN YOU KNOW HIM.
LAU AND I WERE
DAMN CLOSE FRIENDS.
WELL, MAYBE RAY TURNED
INTO A POLITICAL WUSSY.
PEOPLE DO CHANGE, YOU KNOW.
YEAH. NOT THAT MUCH.
FINE.
LOOK, THE CAPTAIN
WAS PRETTY EXPLICIT
ABOUT US STAYING
OUT OF LAU'S WAY,
SO WHY DON'T WE GET
OUT OF CHINATOWN, HUH?
LET'S GO GET SOME ITALIAN FOOD.
HOW ABOUT SOME CALAMARI FRITTI?
SQUID?
IT'S GOOD FOR YOU.
Radio: ANY UNITS IN THE
VICINITY OF THE PACIFIC PAGODA,
D.B. FOUND. POSSIBLE
187. SPAWN CODE 2.
LIKE YOU SAID, LET'S
GET OUT OF CHINATOWN.
LET'S NOT STICK AROUND
AND I.D. THE BODY
BEFORE DINNER, OK?
YOU GUYS MUST GET PAID
A BUNDLE FOR OVERTIME.
WELL, WE WERE JUST
A FEW MINUTES AWAY,
AND IT WAS CALLED AS
ANY UNITS IN THE VICINITY.
IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.
Hunter: I GOT A QUESTION
FOR YOU, RAYMOND.
WHY DID YOU GO TO THE DEPUTY
CHIEF INSTEAD OF ME ON THIS?
I TRIED, RICK. BUT I
COULDN'T FIND YOU.
LOOK, I'VE BEEN UP TO MY BUTT
IN THIS STUFF, AND...
SO I ASKED THE DEPUTY
CHIEF TO HAVE YOU EASE OFF,
'CAUSE THIS IS A
DELICATE SITUATION.
DID IT SOUND LIKE I COMPLAINED?
'CAUSE I DIDN'T.
LIEUTENANT LAU?
YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT HIM
BEFORE WE SHIP
HIM TO THE MORGUE?
YEAH.
VIETNAMESE.
MALE. AROUND 45.
DO ME A FAVOR. LET ME SEE
HOW HE'S DRESSED, WILL YOU?
THIS IS THE GUY WHO ARGUED
WITH THE CHINESE BIG-WIG
AT THE RESTAURANT THAT
NIGHT OF THE SHOOTING.
GUESS HE LOST THE ARGUMENT.
DID YOU REALLY SEE HIM?
I MEAN, COULD YOU
SWEAR TO THAT, RICK?
YEAH, SURE I COULD.
OK, UH...
I'LL SEE IF ANY OF
THIS CONNECTS, HUH?
LOOK, YOU OWE ME A DINNER.
REMEMBER? WE GOT A BET.
COME ON.
SEE YOU AROUND, RAYMOND.
Lau: WHY DID YOU MAKE
A PUBLIC SPECTACLE
OF THIS MURDER, CHANG?
IT SERVES AS A WARNING
TO THOSE WHO
WOULD DARE RESIST ME.
COULDN'T YOU HAVE
PHONED THEM UP?
DID YOU HAVE TO GO ON
NATIONAL TELEVISION NEWS?
WELL, THE MURDER WAS PRIVATE.
THE MESSAGE WAS PUBLIC.
YEAH, WELL YOU JUST MADE
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE, CHANG.
'CAUSE ONCE THOSE MEDIA
DOGS HAVE THE SCENT,
THEY'RE NOT GONNA
LET THIS THING GO.
ALL DOGS TIRE OF A SCENT
THAT LEADS THEM TO NOTHING.
CALM YOURSELF, LIEUTENANT.
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
AH, THANK YOU, MONGOL.
THERE IS SOMETHING I
NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE ON.
TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS
AND TELL ME THE WHEREABOUTS
OF THOSE MEN, LIEUTENANT.
WHY, CHANG? WHY DO
YOU WANT TO FIND THEM?
OH, DON'T ASK ME
WHY. JUST DO IT.
WHY DON'T YOU HAVE HIM DO THIS?
IT'S OBVIOUS
THAT YOU CAN GET
PLACES WHERE HE CAN'T.
JUST FIND THEM.
I CAN'T GUARANTEE YOU ANYTHING,
BUT, UH, I'LL LOOK INTO THIS.
LIEUTENANT, I'M SURE
YOU CAN FIND THEM.
AFTER ALL, IT'S TO THE BEST
OF YOUR INTEREST, HUH?
HMM...
WHY ARE YOU SO EAGER?
WE HAVEN'T EVEN
COMPLETED OUR BUSINESS YET.
WHAT ELSE?
THERE'S THESE 2
AMERICAN SERGEANTS.
THEY ANNOY ME. THEY
ARE BEHAVING BADLY.
THEY WENT SO FAR
AS TO ARREST MONGOL.
THIS UPSET HIM VERY MUCH.
I DON'T NEED THE CONFLICT
FROM THESE GWEILO, HUH?
HUNTER AND McCALL
ARE OFF THE CASE.
HEY, THAT'S GOOD. GOOD.
THERE IS ONE LAST THING
THAT I WANT YOU TO DO FOR ME.
I THINK YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS.
I CAN'T TOUCH HIM NOW.
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS.
I NEED THAT WITNESS.
I NEED HIM. WITHOUT HIM,
THERE CAN BE NO TRANSACTION.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
YEAH.
I UNDERSTAND.
YOU KNOW, MONGOL, I DON'T
TRUST THESE AMERICAN-BORNS.
NOW THAT HUNTER AND
McCALL ARE OFF THE CASE,
I HOPE YOU'RE
SATISFIED AND HAPPY.
NO. THAT MAN OWES ME A DEBT.
I WILL COLLECT.
NO, NO, NOT RIGHT NOW.
I JUST WANT YOU TO OBSERVE
THEM FOR THE TIME BEING.
IF THEY GET IN MY HAIR AGAIN,
THEN I WILL GIVE THEM TO
YOU AS A HUMBLE PRESENT,
A DESSERT.
Hunter: WASN'T SURE TILL
NOW, BUT I KNOW THIS GUY.
McCall: WHO IS HE?
GENERAL LUK NIAM NIM.
HE HASN'T BEEN IN THE HEADLINES
IN OVER 10 YEARS.
WASN'T HE THE GUY THEY
CALLED THE PEOPLE'S GENERAL?
HE WAS THE LAST BIG-SHOT
OUT OF SAIGON, RIGHT?
STILL FLYING HIS OWN
HELICOPTER, I THINK.
HUNTER AND McCALL,
YOU GOT A MINUTE?
YEAH.
I WANT TO BELIEVE THAT YOU TWO
AREN'T CRAZY, SO YOU TELL ME.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPP... WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I JUST GOT A REPORT
FROM THE ASIAN TASK FORCE
THAT YOU WERE AT THE
SCENE OF THEIR INVESTIGATION
UP AT PACIFIC PAGODA.
ASIAN TASK FORCE. YOU
MEAN LIEUTENANT LAU?
ACTUALLY, IT WAS
THE DUTY SERGEANT.
HUNTER OWES ME A CHINESE DINNER,
SO WE WERE NEAR CHINATOWN.
IT WAS AN ANY UNITS
IN THE VICINITY CALL,
AND WE WERE THERE IN MINUTES.
AS SOON AS WE SAW
LIEUTENANT LAU, WE LEFT, OK?
DON'T YOU KNOW ANY
OTHER PLACE IN THIS CITY
TO EAT BESIDES CHINATOWN?
I DON'T EVEN LIKE CHINESE FOOD.
SO, IT WAS AN ACCIDENT, RIGHT?
RIGHT.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY
QUARREL WITH LIEUTENANT LAU?
EXCEPT FOR THE FACT HE
CALLED YOU INSTEAD OF ME.
WELL, WE'RE ALL UNDER
PRESSURE, HUNTER.
SO, BOTTOM LINE...
NO MORE STRANGE
COINCIDENCES. RIGHT?
RIGHT.
WE GOT A TAIL?
DON'T LOOK BACK.
YEAH, WE GOT A TAIL ALL RIGHT.
GREAT.
CAPTAIN SAID NO MORE STRANGE
COINCIDENCES, REMEMBER?
THIS IS NO COINCIDENCE.
THIS IS A TAIL.
HOLD ON.
HUNTER, LOOK. WHY ARE
WE RUNNING FROM HIM, HUH?
WHY DON'T WE JUST PULL OVER
AND SEE WHAT'S GOING DOWN HERE?
WHO SAYS THEY'RE
GONNA PULL OVER?
WE GOT TO GUARANTEE
THAT THEY'LL PULL OVER.
OK, FINE. HOW DO WE DO THAT?
HOLD ON.
LET'S SEE WHAT THIS BABY'LL DO.
COME ON, DETROIT.
DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT.
GET OUT!
SAY CHEESE.
YOU MADE BAIL REAL QUICK,
DIDN'T YOU, WHALE BAIT?
McCall: YOUR BOSS IS
GONNA BE REAL HAPPY
WITH THE TAB YOU'RE RUNNING,
BECAUSE YOU'RE
UNDER ARREST AGAIN.
I MIGHT LET YOU
GO WITH A WARNING
IF YOU TELL ME WHY
YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING ME.
McCall: RECKLESS DRIVING
AND CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS.
YOU'RE A REAL SCOFFLAW,
AREN'T YOU, WHALE BAIT?
TURN AROUND.
WELL, WE SHOULD DO THIS AGAIN
SOME OTHER TIME, FATSO.
GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME.
ARE YOU SERGEANT HUNTER
AND SERGEANT McCALL?
YES.
I WORK FOR A MAN OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE FROM SAIGON
WHO WOULD VERY MUCH
LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.
WELL, YOU BOYS OUGHT TO TALK
TO RAYMOND LAU, HE'S THE MAN.
THIS IMPORTANT PERSON
WOULD NOT SPEAK
WITH LIEUTENANT LAU.
HE WISH TO SPEAK TO YOU.
IT'S A PRIVATE MATTER.
YEAH. WE'LL FOLLOW YOU.
Man: I HAVE HEARD THAT
YOU ARE NOT OUR ENEMY,
AS LIEUTENANT RAYMOND LAU IS.
WELL, MR. NIM, THE
ASIAN TASK FORCE
IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
BALL GAME, YOU KNOW?
NONETHELESS, YOUR
ACTIONS WITH CHANG'S PEOPLE
SPEAK OTHERWISE.
McCall: IS THAT THE
NAME OF THE MAN, CHANG?
IS HE ASSOCIATED
WITH CHANG'S RESTAURANT
SUPPLY COMPANY?
I NEED YOUR ASSISTANCE.
THE LEADER OF OUR COMMUNITY
HAS BEEN MISSING
SINCE YESTERDAY.
PERHAPS YOU'VE HEARD OF HIM.
GENERAL LUK NIAM
NIM. HE IS MY SON.
WELL, I'M SORRY
THAT WE HAVE TO BE
THE FIRST TO TELL YOU THIS,
BUT YOUR SON IS DEAD.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY.
MY MAN WILL SEE YOU OUT.
WELL, SIR, EXCUSE
ME, BUT I THINK
WE MIGHT STILL BE ABLE
TO HELP EACH OTHER HERE.
THERE'S NOTHING WE
CAN DO FOR YOUR SON,
BUT MAYBE WE COULD
JOIN FORCES TOGETHER
TO GET THE PEOPLE
WHO KILLED HIM.
DO YOU KNOW HOW CHANG
WAS INVOLVED WITH YOUR SON?
THE MATTER HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH POLICE NOW.
WE MUST HANDLE
IT IN OUR OWN WAY.
LET'S NOT FORGET ONE THING.
THIS IS NOT SAIGON.
THIS IS LOS ANGELES.
YOU ARE MISTAKEN,
SERGEANT HUNTER.
THIS IS CHINATOWN.
McCall: GOD, HOW I HATE
DELIVERING NEWS LIKE THAT.
Hunter: YEAH, I KNOW,
McCALL, BUT IF YOU DIDN'T,
THERE'D BE SOMETHING
WRONG WITH YOU, YOU KNOW?
Hunter: WELL, IF I WERE NIM,
I'D BE GETTING
READY TO GO TO WAR.
I THINK HE IS.
YEAH, I'D LIKE TO FIND
OUT IF MR. NIM HAS PERMITS
FOR ALL THOSE FIREARMS
HE HAS LAYING AROUND.
WELL, YOU BETTER
DO IT QUICK, McCALL.
SOMETHING'S GOING ON HERE
THAT DOESN'T QUITE
SMELL RIGHT TO ME.
I'VE GOT THAT QUEASY FEELING
LIKE THE ONE I HAD
JUST BEFORE KHE SANH,
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
McCall: DIDN'T WE LOSE THAT ONE?
HUNTER, LOOK OUT!
FREEZE!
GET OUT.
GET OUT OF THE CAR.
GET OUT OF THE CAR!
SAY CHEESE.
TAKE A HIKE, WHALE BAIT.
WHAT DID MR. LUK WANT FROM YOU?
HE WANTED TO BUY
A COUPLE OF TICKETS
TO THE POLICEMEN'S BALL.
FOR GOD'S SAKES, HUNTER,
WILL YOU STOP BEING A HERO?
THE OLD MAN WANTED TO
KNOW WHO KILLED HIS SON.
HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT
YOUR BOSS HAD HIM ICED.
NOW, THAT'S IT. AS
SOON AS HE FOUND OUT
THE GENERAL WAS DEAD, WE
WERE OUT THE DOOR, ALL RIGHT?
I'VE BEEN TOLD KILLING
COPS IS NOT WISE,
BUT IF I SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN,
I'M GONNA FORGET
THAT GOOD ADVICE.
UHH!
Hunter: WHEN WE
LEFT YOUR OFFICE,
WE WERE TAILED BY
A COUPLE OF THUGS
FROM THAT FUNERAL
DOWN IN CHINATOWN.
AND THEY FORCED
YOU TO ARREST THEM?
THEY WERE DRIVING RECKLESSLY
AND CARRYING CONCEALED HEAT.
SPEAKING OF WHICH,
IT'S GOT TO BE OVER 100 IN HERE.
WELL, THE AIR-CONDITIONER'S
BROKEN IN HERE.
BUT BUSINESS AS USUAL,
IT SEEMS, FOR YOU TWO.
HELLO.
OH, LORD. I FORGOT
ALL ABOUT HIM.
APOLOGIZE TO HIM AND ASSURE HIM
THAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD
WATCH PROGRAM
IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME
AND RESCHEDULE AGAIN
FOR SOME TIME NEXT WEEK.
ANY SIGN OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF?
ALL RIGHT.
HUNTER, LEAVE THE JACKET ON.
THE DEPUTY CHIEF WILL
BE HERE ANY MINUTE.
SO, WHERE DO THE
VIETNAMESE COME INTO THIS?
THEY SAID THEIR
BOSS WANTED TO TALK,
SO HUNTER TRIED TO
STEER THEM TO LAU,
BUT THEY WEREN'T BUYING IT.
Hunter: THEY SAID HE
WOULDN'T TALK TO LAU.
AH, PUT IT OVER THERE.
CAPTAIN, LOOK.
WOULDN'T YOU AGREE
THAT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
VERY BAD POLICE WORK,
IF WE HAD NOT GONE ALONG?
LOOK, WE'RE JUST
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON HERE.
AND WE THINK WE MAY HAVE
FIGURED SOMETHING OUT.
WHO IS THIS?
McCall: GENERAL LUK NIAM NIM.
THE LEADER OF THE L.A.
VIETNAMESE COMMUNITY.
HE'S THE ONE THAT TURNED UP DEAD
AT THE PACIFIC PAGODA.
IT WAS THE GENERAL'S FATHER
WHO WANTED TO TALK TO US.
YEAH, AS SOON AS THEY
FIND OUT ABOUT NIM'S DEATH,
CHINESE BLOOD'S GONNA
FLOW ALL OVER TOWN.
ARE YOU THE AUTHORITY ON
CHINATOWN NOW, SERGEANT?
THESE RIBS MAKE IT MY BUSINESS,
WHETHER I LIKE IT OR NOT.
AND BEFORE WE BOIL IN
OUR OWN OIL HERE, CAPTAIN,
DON'T YOU THINK WE
DESERVE AN EXPLANATION?
ALL RIGHT.
CHANG WAS THE SECOND BIGGEST MAN
IN THE CHINESE UNDERWORLD.
NOW HE'S THE BIGGEST.
5 DAYS AGO, LIEUTENANT
LAU SET UP A STING OPERATION
FOR CHANG AND HIS BOSS.
SOMETHING WENT WRONG.
WE LOST ONE OF OUR OWN MEN
AND ALL THE VIDEO TAPE THEY HAD.
WHO SCREWED IT UP?
CHANG.
HE THOUGHT HIS OWN BOSS
WAS PULLING THE SWITCH ON HIM,
SO HE SHOT HIM DEAD ON THE SPOT.
THEN HE KILLED OUR
UNDERCOVER MAN
WHO WAS WORKING
AS CHANG'S FLUNKY.
IT WAS A MESS.
BUT...
LIEUTENANT LAU PULLED
IT OUT OF THE FIRE.
HOW'D HE DO THAT?
HE GOT A CLASS-A
WITNESS TO THE MURDER,
ONE OF CHANG'S LIEUTENANTS.
JUST ONE PROBLEM.
HE WON'T TALK.
PROBABLY NO LIFE INSURANCE.
LAU PERSUADED ME AND THE CHIEF
THAT IF WE DO THIS HIS WAY,
HE'D DELIVER THE WITNESS.
THAT'S WHY IT'S SO DAMN
IMPORTANT THAT NOTHING GO WRONG.
AND THAT'S WHY I'M
TELLING YOU EVERYTHING,
SO YOU GET IT THIS TIME,
AND YOU STAY THE HELL OUT.
WELL, I GOT IT. BUT I WANT
YOU TO KNOW ONE THING.
LAU AND I ARE VERY CLOSE.
I WANT TO TELL HIM IN DETAIL
OF MY CONVERSATION
WITH NIM'S FATHER.
IN PERSON, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
ALL RIGHT, FINE. YOU
DO THAT, HUNTER.
YEAH. SEND HIM IN.
WOMAN'S TOUCH.
DID YOU PLAY WITH HORNETS'
NESTS WHEN YOU WERE A KID, HUNTER?
DIDN'T EVERYBODY?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
ALWAYS GOT TO HAVE A PLAN B.
SERGEANT QUONG?
YOU GOT A MINUTE?
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
LAU UPSTAIRS?
NO. WHERE IS HE?
I'M SORRY. I CAN'T TELL YOU.
LOOK, QUONG,
THESE WIRE PHOTOS JUST
CAME IN FROM WASHINGTON D.C.
THEY'RE A TOP PRIORITY.
NOW, YOU'RE WASTING
MY TIME. WHERE IS HE?
I DON'T KNOW.
COME ON, QUONG.
YOU KNOW WHERE HE IS
AND WHEN HE'S
CHANGING HIS SOCKS.
McCall: YEAH. DEPUTY
CHIEF, PLEASE.
WELL, YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO INTERRUPT HIM,
BECAUSE I GUARANTEE YOU
THIS IS A LOT MORE IMPORTANT.
NOW, WE GOT A LITTLE PROBLEM
DOWN HERE AT THE
ASIAN TASK FORCE.
THERE IS A SERGEANT Q...
HE'S AT THE WANG
CHOO RESTAURANT.
CHINATOWN.
YOU KNOW, SOMETHING'S
WRONG, McCALL.
YOU MEAN THE PITCH
THE CAPTAIN GAVE US
ABOUT LAU AND HIS WITNESS?
DOESN'T ADD UP FOR ME, EITHER.
YOU KNOW, IF EVERYTHING
WAS AS SMOOTH
AS THE CAPTAIN MADE IT SOUND,
DON'T YOU THINK LAU WOULD HAVE
TOLD ME SOMETHING ABOUT THIS?
HE'S OVER AT WANG
CHOO. THAT'S CHANG'S TURF.
YEAH, AND WE HAD TO
TWIST A SERGEANT'S ARM
JUST TO FIND THAT OUT.
MIGHT AS WELL SAY IT, HUNTER.
I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO'S HERE.
BOY, I HATE CROOKED COPS.
YOU'VE BEEN MAKING ALL
KINDS OF DELAYS, LIEUTENANT.
I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
THERE'S NO WAY YOU'RE
GOING TO DOUBLE CROSS ME.
DOUBLE CR...
HUH. THOSE ARE HARSH WORDS.
NOW, I WANT THAT PRISONER
AND WHEN YOU HAVE
HIM IN YOUR POSSESSION,
THEN CALL ME.
HMMPH.
DON'T WORRY, HUH? FEEL SAFE.
I WANT GUARANTEES,
NOT ASSURANCES.
LISTEN, YOU'RE IN NO POSITION
TO MAKE ANY DEMANDS ON ME.
I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW...
DON'T YOU DARE TEST MY
PATIENCE ANY FURTHER.
MY WORD IS MY BOND.
IT'S BEEN SO FOR 1,000
YEARS IN MY FAMILY.
HMMPH.
BUT YOU WOULDN'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT, WOULD YOU?
YOU'RE AN AMERICAN-BORN CHINESE.
MR. CHANG,
THOSE 2 POLICE SERGEANTS
JUST DROVE UP OUTSIDE!
MONGOL, STOP THEM.
HE'LL SEE LIEUTENANT LAU.
McCALL!
UHH!
LAU!
GET US OUT OF HERE, LAU,
AND PULL INTO THE
FIRST ALLEYWAY.
WHOA, NOW, RICK. THIS
IS RAYMOND HERE, OK?
RAYMOND WHO, SCUZZBALL?

KNOW HOW THIS MUST LOOK,
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW
THE STORY HERE, OK?
LOOK, I'VE HAD YOUR CRAP
UP TO HERE, RAYMOND.
NOW THEY GOT McCALL. WHAT
THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
I KNOW THEY GOT McCALL.
BUT SHE'S STILL ALIVE. I
SAW HER WITH MONGOL.
I KNOW WHERE SHE IS.
GOOD. WHERE IS SHE?
SHE'S IN SOME TUNNELS
UNDER THE WANG CHOO.
GOOD. LET'S GO THERE.
NO, WAIT, RICK.
I... I GOT TO TALK TO SERGEANT
QUONG FIRST, ALL RIGHT?
LOOK, QUONG WAS THE ONLY ONE
THAT KNEW WE WERE AT THE WANG
CHOO RESTAURANT, TONIGHT, HUH?
WHAT WAS HIS CUT OUT OF THIS?
LET ME ASK YOU THIS, RAYMOND.
WHAT WAS YOUR CUT OUT OF IT?
YOU GOT TO LISTEN TO ME, RICK.
CHANG MURDERED HIS BOSS
AND KILLED ONE OF MY MEN.
BUT THERE WAS A WITNESS.
NOW, THE DAY I BUSTED HIM,
CHANG KIDNAPPED MY DAUGHTER.
THEY GOT KIM?
YEAH, AND THAT'S WHY
I COULDN'T TELL YOU ANYTHING.
THEY'RE PROBABLY
HOLDING HER AND McCALL
IN THE SAME PLACE.
NOW, LET ME MAKE THIS CALL.
'CAUSE ALL HELL'S
GONNA BREAK LOOSE
DOWN HERE ANY SECOND,
AND IT'S OUR ONE CHANCE
TO GET KIM AND McCALL.
THIS IS LIEUTENANT LAU.
PATCH ME THROUGH
TO QUONG'S ASIAN TASK
FORCE IMMEDIATELY.
IT'S A CODE 3 EMERGENCY.
Woman on radio: STAND BY.
LIEUTENANT LAU. QUONG?
NO, SIR, WE CAN'T LOCATE
HIM. HE'S OUT OF THE OFFICE.
WELL, FIND HIM!
ALL UNITS, SHOTS
FIRED AT BOREDAN HILL.
POSSIBLE GANG-RELATED CODE 3.
THAT'S CHINATOWN.
THAT'S CHANG'S PHASE 2.
THAT'S WHY I CAN'T MOVE
UNTIL I TALK TO QUONG.
THIS IS SERGEANT
QUONG. LIEUTENANT LAU?
SERGEANT. YEAH.
CHANG'S MAKING HIS
MOVE IN LITTLE SAIGON.
ACTIVATE PLANS "A" AND "B."
THEN I WANT YOU
IN FRONT OF THE WANG
CHOO IMMEDIATELY.
GOT IT? YES, SIR.
I'M ON IT NOW. OUT.
LET'S GO.
CHANG'S MEN HAVE
JUST LAUNCHED PHASE 2.
ROUND UP OF ALL OF NIM'S
LIEUTENANTS... ABOUT 12 MEN.
THEY'RE GONNA DO WHAT AL
CAPONE DID ON ST. VALENTINE'S DAY.
THEY'RE GONNA KILL 'EM ALL.
WELL, YOUR UNIT CAN DO
WHATEVER IT WANTS TO.
MY JOB IS TO FIND McCALL.
WHEN QUONG AND OUR
SWAT TEAMS GET HERE,
CHANG WILL BE
SPREAD PRETTY THIN,
SO THERE'LL ONLY BE A SKELETON
GUARD ON KIM AND McCALL.
THEY SHOULD BE SIGNALLING
US ANY SECOND NOW.
DAMN IT! WHERE'S THAT SIGNAL?
THERE IT IS.
LET'S GO.
OK, COME ON, HONEY.
I'LL GO FIRST.
YES, YOU WILL.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
KIM. KIM LAU.
THIS IS KIDNAPPING, BUDDY.
YOU CAN GET THE DEATH
PENALTY FOR THIS, YOU KNOW?
Lau: HEY, HEY! MONGOL NEEDS
ONE OF YOU UPSTAIRS IMMEDIATELY!
Lau: MONGOL NEEDS ONE OF
YOU RIGHT NOW! LET'S MOVE IT!
COME ON, COME ON!
MONGOL WANTS YOU NOW!
Hunter: DROP IT!
KIM.
DADDY.
OHH.
HOW YOU DOING?
OK.
Man: MONGOL!
THAT WAY!
TAKE HIM DOWN THERE.
AND BE CAREFUL. I'LL DRAW
THEIR FIRE FROM BACK HERE.
THIS WILL BE THE
NIGHT OF THE DRAGONS.
THEY SHOULD ALL BE HERE NOW.
EXCEPT ONE.
WHERE ARE WE?
AT THE GATE OF HELL.
YOU DON'T NEED TO DO THIS TO US.
WE WANT PEACE.
OH, I'LL GIVE YOU PEACE.
MY PEACE.
YEAH.
HOW LONG AGO?
ON MY WAY.
CALL THE GARAGE. GET
MY CAR DOWNSTAIRS.
JOHNSON, COME WITH ME.
WE GOT TO BE IN
CHINATOWN IN 5 MINUTES.
DON'T WORRY, HONEY.
DADDY'LL BE JUST FINE.
THE SERGEANT WILL TAKE
REAL GOOD CARE OF YOU.
MOVE IT.
YES, SIR.
WE WILL RESPECT YOUR STRENGTH.
YOU HAVE TAKEN MY SON AWAY,
BUT THEIR WILL BE NO REPRISALS.
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S VERY REASSURING.
BUT I WILL SLEEP MUCH BETTER
KNOWING THAT NONE OF YOU
WILL WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING
WITH A CHANGE OF MIND.
IF YOU DO THIS THING, THE
KILLING WILL NEVER STOP
UNTIL EVERY ONE OF
OUR PEOPLE IS DEAD.
AS FOR MY SON, THE
WAR IS FINALLY OVER.
BUT FOR YOU, CHANG,
IT WILL JUST BEGIN.
THERE'S ONE THING I LEARNED
ABOUT YOU PEOPLE, NIM.
IN FACT, FROM YOUR SON.
IT DOES NO GOOD TO TALK.
THERE IS ONE THING THAT
YOU UNDERSTAND ONLY...
THE GUN.
SO BE IT.
YING.
LIEUTENANT LAU.
WE GOT CHANG AND THE HOSTAGES
IN A WAREHOUSE
A BLOCK WEST OF WANG
CHOO RESTAURANT.
HEAVY GUNFIRE!
COVER ME.
DROP YOUR WEAPONS
NOW. I SAID NOW!
Police officer: COME
ON. HURRY UP.
EVERYBODY UP AGAINST THE WALL.
MOVE IT. MOVE!
OK, COME ON.
WELL, WE GOT A FORTUNE
HERE FOR YOU, CHANG.
YOU HAVE THE RIGHT
TO REMAIN SILENT.
Officer: ALL RIGHT. LET'S GET
'EM OUTSIDE TO THE SQUAD CARS.
COME ON. HURRY IT UP.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
I THINK WE JUST STOPPED
A GANG WAR, CAPTAIN.
WE SURE DID.
OH, McCALL.
DON'T I OWE YOU
THAT CHINESE DINNER?
WELL, McCALL, YOU'RE FINALLY
GONNA GET THAT CHINESE DINNER
YOU'VE BEEN WORRYING
ME OUT ABOUT.
HOME-COOKED, NO LESS.
YEAH, TO THINK I ALMOST SETTLED
FOR A PIZZA WITH THE WORKS.
THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
SPECIALITY OF THE HOUSE.
MY MOM'S OWN RECIPE
FROM THE OLD COUNTRY.
AN EXOTIC ADVENTURE IN TASTE.
WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?
SHU LUP TUN XHAO GI.
WHAT'S THAT MEAN?
BARBECUED STEAK
AND FRENCH FRIES.
HEY! HA HA! HA HA HA!
McCall: HUNTER, YOU STILL
OWE ME A CHINESE DINNER.
