and adam help any ticks me off just as
much as it does you
nope doesn't help at all
[Music]
which one of you do i thank for giving
up your place
say anywhere we have to talk to him
uh-uh that would qualify as cruel and
unusual punishment
it's no way to act i'm gonna help you
convict a major crime figure
save it for the d.a you guys did your
job right you wouldn't need people like
me
yeah well if they'd let us do our job
right there wouldn't be
any people like you oh you honey
into the bedroom you sweet talking devil
i set into the bedroom
make sure he stays away from the windows
well where are you going
going to the bar i'll be back around 10
all right
squeeze them glasses any harder and
you'll break them
i'm sorry you say something look on your
face you're scaring away the customers
reminding my customers too oh you can
afford the less you've got a day job
well right now i'd be willing to change
places with you oh well maybe i should
apply to the academy
no chance i promised your dad i know i
know promise between partners is that
don't be disrespectful he used to like
being disrespectful
it was a different time in a different
place
well this is late now else is always
late
i still look crazy you know adam it's
not like the kid is family
you know all those years ago when i was
growing up in foster homes before i went
off to
college there was lots of kindness but
that's all it was
until grady right i'm so grady
you thought about what you're gonna say
if it ever turns out to be him
i've had to keep revising it
it was different when he was nine ten
years old i mean he was just a kid
you know i'd have been squeezing him so
hard then there wouldn't be any need to
say anything but now
i mean this is a grown man
it's different there's no reason you can
still hug him
no no ah
there it is
oh i'm sorry adam
[Music]
it's okay we knew it wasn't gonna be
anything
look why don't you stick around for a
while no i gotta go relieve my people
it's okay man
damn it adam hey it's okay you mind
closing up for me
no
hey thanks
[Music]
you promised i promise
[Music]
[Music]
this is pedro send an ambulance to 1827
third street two officers down
all right
[Music]
if you don't mind i'd like to run
through this again what's the matter
spectre
you want boudoir to talk slower
i specifically requested that you be in
charge of hardin's protection were you
informed of that
yes and yet you took it on yourself to
leave the house early this evening
rare and unscared more than capable oh
well the results would appear to
contradict that wouldn't they
everything was done according to
procedure extraordinary men
require extraordinary measures
why did you leave the house sergeant
personal reasons
personal reasons well
perhaps you can make harden's recapture
personal hmm
he may be out of the city by now oh
let's hope not for all our sakes
but especially for yours charlie it was
my fault
oh i know that michelle responds to
pressure better than you
expect to hear from you tomorrow give my
regards to the d.a
[Music]
she really knows where to aim doesn't
she yep well
don't worry about it why not
because i will
okay
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
help me
[Music]
help me
[Music]
um
[Music]
hey how you feeling mostly dumb
how do you tell the difference hey i'm
glad to see you okay
listen uh we want to help get them back
good
what's with the keys i don't know
something that i
just can't figure out uh i don't get it
they belong to hardin
yeah he was the only cab when i arrested
him he was hell in the cab
guy's got a rental car what's he need
with a cab
he needed the cab to get to the rental
car
that makes no sense he wasn't going to
drive the car he was going to get some
out of it
but put out a wants and warrants on
hardening some flyers get the license
number out over the radios we want to
get to that car
let me tell you something spectre pine
even the cop who arrested him who drove
i think his name is
none of them have a thing of the guy he
supposedly has ties to organized crime
right right according to the d.a
the entire world has ties to organize
crime especially me that's why he wants
the grand jury to indict me
but let me ask you a question if i'm the
crime boss of the biggest family in the
northwest
what am i doing running a meat plan then
you aren't worried about what mr hardin
might say if he's found
not a bit but let me be honest with you
i would be amazed if he is even found
what makes you so sure
i have faith in your keystone cop
imitation
then i don't have to worry about your
interference as far as i can tell
there's no need
good and don't change your mind oh what
you're gonna come after me like the d.a
hey spector decides to make you a
sistine chapel that's between you two i
stay out of it but i find you in after
harden
then i'm in and you won't like that you
were the guy who was in charge of hard
when he escaped
then i guess i don't have that much to
worry about do i
you be the judge of that
[Music]
okay so let me get this straight you if
you catch this hardened person
he's what when right when
and he's gonna help you put this major
crime for your hand maybe he'll help
okay but if he did and that's a big deal
for you
correct so
in the middle of all this you go off
chasing after someone you haven't seen
in
20 years and
it doesn't seem the least bit strange to
you
i didn't say that but you wouldn't call
it
obsessive look i made a promise to find
him and i don't get it
yeah well this goes way beyond promises
you know i'm not denying it's important
come on adam
it's been your life i mean you sent
faxes all over the country
every international agency has heard
from you and you've spent like a ton of
your own salary on private detectives i
mean anybody else would have given up
years ago but you
you just get more stubborn you know
one of these days it's gonna happen what
makes you so sure
i know actually all i can tell you is i
know well what if it doesn't
you ever thought about that
never why you want some free advice
you think about it
i won't
i can't
[Music]
movie
[Music]
i knew
[Music]
i knew
[Applause]
[Music]
hmm
hey hmm there is this thing called
leftovers you know
not in my life
i really want to hear about that
not much to tell come on
20 years 10 000 miles see man you call
that not much
all right big time adventures
sleeping in hallways eating out of
garbage cans hitting up strangers for
money
it's real exciting stuff
no one thing i never stopped looking for
you
yeah i figured but i decided uh what the
hell
if the mountain won't come to muhammad
so here i am
what took you so long what do you mean
well i've been looking for you for 20
years i've been here in the same place
for nearly that long how come you
couldn't find me
it wasn't so easy this is a big country
come on grady 20 years the department of
army's had my records all this time
it couldn't have been that hard look
what is with the questions
i didn't intend to ask any
it's just sitting here for the last two
hours that's all i can think about and
uh
i'd like an answer
i didn't spend all 20 years looking all
right
okay wasn't that finding you hey okay
fine it was important
but but i was eight years old and you
didn't come back for me
what are you talking about i tried
that's great
it didn't help me though did it
my records disappeared so i couldn't
prove who i was
and the only way to get back to you was
was buying a black market passport
except
i i had no money so i started stealing
just to get the cash to buy the passport
i got arrested they sent me the long
duck prison
it was like the war all over again you
know guys would still have to kill each
other
a few of those guys they had
other plans for a teenage kid with long
brown hair
i managed to convince them that it was a
bad idea
but but some of them i took a lot of
and one of them was a a guard
so i got some time packed on and then
some more
and some more and some more
oh 10 years
4 months 16 days
that's when i got to start looking for
you
look i'm sorry if i sounded forget it
all right
now i would have wondered the same thing
the important thing is that we're back
together again
right
right
reunion turn out there do you ever think
you hoped
but not all that
20 years no way the realization lives up
to the anticipation
can i quote you yeah be my guest
how about i get you some time off you
and the kid can go fishing
let me finish this harden thing first
all right your choice
and my thanks
so any leads a couple of people they
called uh said they saw him
nothing yet though not really anything
oh good
i'll tell specter and the rest is
imminent
it's nice well wait i mean what did
somebody ask what am i supposed to be
doing here
let's just call you a law student doing
research well i lost dude
no i don't think so just hang here all
right why you expecting trouble in there
no they just won't talk us freely if
somebody's with me hey b
you think those guys will know where
this hardened guy is
let's hope so
i'll just call any of you no way i like
something with a roof on
hey man nice jacket thanks what's it
made of
silk smooth
right i guess that's where the sand
comes from but that jacket would look
great on me
how about i try it
that out won't look so good on you i
think you're wrong
and i think you should let me try it on
that prison must have had some martial
arts program
actually the instructors weren't so hot
but they didn't know how to motivate a
guy
they're like how nightly showers
oh can i use help you mean like someone
who shows up on time every night and
stays to closing
who will spell me so i can occasionally
go on a date you mean
oh smile at the customers once in a
while instead of
scaring them off yes i would love
someone like that
only you know i don't believe he really
exists
well you're looking at him
did you talk about this hey his idea
he's a man who wants to earn his own kid
oh you mean we have to pay him i'm
afraid so ah what the heck
can't have everything when do you want
to start
as soon as possible tonight tomorrow
whenever you name it
is there a problem with that no i just
thought the two of you would want to
spend some time together
man says he wants to earn his own keep
well boys now this is here
yeah i'll be right there it's been a
shooting downtown
witness description sounds a lot like
harden oh hey you mind if i take a long
uh this is a crime scene not a
ride-along what's the other way
way out of the promise oh um i'll uh
start some more okay
yeah no problem
somebody talk to me we figured the perp
was trying to break in when the guard
surprised him why didn't the killer take
his keys
home garage is on a combination system
all the time no just on the weekends it
won't open again until early monday
morning
why don't we take a look inside
so
well well well
what's it look like 50 000 to do my
guess
hardens payoff for the hit sounds about
right you think you'll come back for it
i'm counting on it
[Music]
hey yeah you coming
yeah sure
listen now that we're working together
do i get to know your first name
malloy that's it no first name how's
that
oh my parents could never agree on a
name they argued about it for the first
12 years of my life
yeah then what happened i got divorced
but then i gotten used to just being
malloy and i didn't feel like changing
oh what about this oh that shelf right
there
i'm going without a first nail i mean
that must take some getting used to
i'd say you were the resident expert on
adjustment
no not so excellent oh 20 years it's got
to be strange
well you know what's strange is that
parts of it are exactly like i imagined
but parts are like nothing i ever
dreamed
is is he different i mean i know he has
to be it's been 20 years but can you
still tell it's him
hell yeah there's no mistaking that
the way he talks the way he moves always
in control
that was always the same and this was
after you saved his life
no we saved each other
he never told you yeah
my parents were canadian missionaries
working up in a monument village and one
day charlie showed up
looking for americans uh they didn't
find any you know but they wasted the
village anyway
they killed everybody but me i got away
and that's when you found boudreau in
the jungle yeah he was uh
shot in the leg how about you yeah i was
just
shot to hell we were together for about
uh
almost a year and he became my whole
world

killed my parents
they died in vietnam he was there
working both sides of the street
i heard him telling vc that my parents
were c.i.a
i heard the calm talking while they were
burning the village
you never were looking for me i want him
and when you found out i was after him
yeah i used you use hell you betrayed me

what you're planning to do is murder

don't try and stop me
[Music]
ready
[Music]
oh
get in here
that thing hurt yes really hit the fan
inspector's office
yeah and most of it landed on my face
you want to tell me what happened out
there last night
no tell me anyway we lost harden one
adam i've got two cops taken a lot of
painkillers over a county memorial i got
you standing there with a footprint on
your face and you're giving me a damn
sports report
look harden's good we always knew that
oh great
when the chief calls any will when
spectre's done with them i'll just tell
them that
harden is good we always knew it is that
all lieutenant
lieutenant
adam we're friends whatever happened out
there last night i expect us to trust
each other
fine trust me then
i'll get him back
[Music]
hammond watch the wires any killings
involving hardness
or victim i want to know about it
immediately reardon start canvassing a
two square mile radius around the brook
street garage
what are you gonna do make sure harvey
doesn't get himself killed before we
find him
did i miss something here i thought we
don't know where the guy
is
i'm clean guys
you enjoy your work
hello frank you know when they told me
you were here i couldn't believe it
what would make a man want to commit
suicide like this simple frank you and i
had a deal
50 up front i do the job i get another
50 on the back end
problem is i never got the 50 on the
back end
the money was where i said it would be
cops got there before i could get it
that's not my fault is it no it's not
your fault frank
it is your problem
it just occurred to me you know you and
i
we're in the same business
we both kill animals that's one way
looking at it
and you're the animal who was going to
roll over on me
it's easier to escape from the cops
frank
when they're protecting you not guarding
you
and you expect me to believe that this
was some grand
plan that you never intended to talk
i'm not stupid enough to testify against
you frank
hmm
i need you to help me disappear
it's a lot more efficient to just kill
you
more efficient less cost effective
kill me i get motor mouth like you
wouldn't believe
that'd be a trick it's simple frank i
make it a habit of wearing a wire every
time a guy like you hires me to kill
somebody
relax relax boys no recording session
today
you are a dead man i don't think that's
definitely like i don't think so you see
if i end up dead
a tape of frank loper's greatest hits
ends up with the authorities
it'll make a great case of conspiracy to
commit murder
and that buys a man life in prison
what do you want exactly
i want my 50 grand i want a 30 30 with a
scope
who's the gun for nobody you'd know
this guy who tracked me down for my cia
days in nam
you're kidding me right some kind of
grudge i can't
risk leaving him out there to find me
excuse my ignorance but if you're gonna
disappear so the feds and the cops can't
find you
how is this wacko gonna find you i don't
know how he found me this time
i'm gonna give you two choices i'm gonna
give you the money and you forget your
little hunting trick
or you can take what's behind door
number three and believe me when i tell
you
you're not gonna like what's behind door
number three
okay frank
wait your turn
your hour's up now what
what happened to your face it got in the
way of a foot
you seemed grady oh yeah he was just
here
how long ago oh 15 minutes i gave him
the money promised him
oh you didn't promise him a dime did you
how much
400. what happened
nothing i can't handle oh come off it i
know that tone that's a ton you used
every time you came up empty looking for
grady now what happened
i came up empty okay you lost me
that was great here man wasn't it
at least in body but
come on adam talk to me
it was all a lie what was all a lie
the past 20 years grady the reunion
i sow myself a bill of goods but he was
so glad to see you
had nothing to do with me i was his
conduit heart
and what's hardened to him gretty wants
to kill him
you got any idea where he could have
gone maybe he left some kind of clue
uh no nothing all right wait let's think
where would he go somewhere he'd feel
comfortable
uh hotel maybe come on there's ten
thousand hotels in the city
well how many of them are vietnamese
malloy maybe you should think about
being a cop after all
i don't look good in sunglasses where
you going little saigon
up
excuse me excuse me hi hi
uh could you tell me uh who the master
is
well we don't go in for that zen master
grasshopper stuff
good neither do i maybe uh then you
could just
point me in the direction of the man in
charge
you're looking at him name's julia
bennett
i own the place are you on this place
do you have a problem with that no this
sign says
chan's dojo well i got the business in a
divorce settlement
oh your husband was chant no jerry
i made the name up who's gonna go to
jerry's dojo
wait you do you teach martial arts here
though right of course
you're looking for self-defense or sport
neither
i'm looking for a job well the only job
i got is an instructor position
good i'll take it
you why is that so strange
well no offense you just don't look the
part oh
oh well no offense neither do you
what are you doing
sorry about the wall i take it on my
first paycheck unless
of course you still think i'm not
qualified
well i wasn't talking about qualified to
teach martial arts
what i meant was i need a guy who can
speak vietnamese
what i said
no problem
sounds to me like if you find the kid
he's gonna wind up in the hospital
yeah sure and if i don't you wind up in
jail or worse
i don't mind that man they can't speak a
word in english
i just can't find a place for them to
stay maybe they can stay wherever
grady's standing
i wouldn't worry about that kid adam
from the look of that baseball on your
face i say he can take care of himself
pretty good
who guards the guard you know come again
he's devoted most of his existence to
murdering a man and if he succeeds
he ruins his life
and what about your life man
you're gonna waste the rest of it trying
to protect the memory
i can't just turn this off you know then
start
working on it will you
no now you remember what you told
brimley at our last vet meeting
you told him to let go of the past now
when are you going to start taking some
of your own advice
man i made a promise i can't do that to
this kid
yeah man this ain't about a promise and
you know it you know so much you tell me
what it's about
uh you tell me
you remember what it was like in country
much as i try to forget
all i kept thinking about was getting
back to the world alive
the world
hot showers good food
a comfortable bed you remember what it
was like when we finally did get back to
the world
hell man now that was one of the
happiest days of my life look at me
i got off that plane i ran across that
tarmac faster than i ever ran because it
was like
if i didn't hurry i'd wake up before i
got to hold my wife and my kid again
now wasn't that just about one of the
best damn days you ever had
it's one of the worst why
because i realized for the first time
would get mine to a world mint
wasn't about hot showers
the damn [ __ ] wasn't my good food
it was about people about family
so why is that a bad thing
it's a bad thing when you don't have it

i'm impressed how'd you find me
buddy of mine pointed the way
we want to stop you i'm doing what
you kill heart and it's murder one in
the eyes of the law that's your law
not mine now your way just gets innocent
people caught in a crossfire now it's
just between him and me
you're wrong
see that buddy of mine he was helping me
to find you
but now he's laid up in the hospital in
serious condition because harden
tortured him
when he wouldn't say where you were
that's not my fault just more
justification for killing him
what's that that's for betraying me
between you you're right
that's for leaving me in the lot i
didn't have a choice i had orders are
you gonna come back for me
i did come back for you the hell you did
i came back for you but by the time i
got there you were gone they moved me to
an orphanage i tricked every orphanage
in the lot
i was in the name
you checked you checked every orphanage
orphanage the hospital
for a graveyard
what's 10 just carry a picture around
with me and tell people you're
you're my father yeah for some reason i
doubt if anybody believed that one
and nobody did nobody with me i wanted
to believe it you know i really did
but the more time passed and you didn't
come for me the less i believed unless i
believed
unless i cared i came back for you grady
god knows i tried to find you but i
couldn't find you
i wonder why
i like to start showing that picture on
again maybe this time
i tell everyone you're my brother
yeah i doubt if anybody's gonna believe
that one either
how about i just say my best friend
best friend
best friend's good
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]

just mad he made your face look so much
better
you should have seen heart and lay in
the linsky's face he never knew what hit
him
i mean i wish i'd been there well i'm
just glad he's dead
that's what he deserves you're sure he
is dead right
well you and boudreau saw the car blow
up didn't you yeah
yeah i've been waiting 20 years for that
moment
i have good news and bad news the good
news is your friend ted willis is out of
danger
oh god yeah the bad news is
our case just went up in smoke that's a
bad name
if you talk to specter it is so because
her case against loper blows up with a
car themself all right
let's just say you and i moved up two
notches on spectre's hit list
hey i always wanted to be number one
guess it's just hard to accept the guy's
finally dead we found the body
he's dead all right guys can i see it i
really need to see it myself
i'll take you to the county morgue but
you won't recognize him the guy was a
real crispy critter what there's no
fingerprints
no fingers
dental work uh isn't that what you use
if there's no fingerprints
what are we gonna check them against i
mean the guy killed people for a living
you think he had dental records the man
is dead
why can't you just accept that
i'm trying i'm trying
your friend's making everybody crazy you
want to take them home
grady won't accept harden's death
because if he does then what does grady
have left to do with his life
well he better start accepting it loper
took care of his dirty work for him
maybe should go convince him of that
fact i can't convince him of something
i'm not sure of myself charlie
well you said you saw it yeah but why do
you miss
what harden was considered a first class
yet man right
i mean he's trained by the c.i.a this is
not a man who misses
well you said grady was reaching for the
phone he was lucky it rang when it did
i don't believe in luck man
all right
right
you mind telling me what we're doing
here
ah something just doesn't add up you
know i've been replaying this explosion
over and over in my mind then i realized
i wasn't rewinding the tape back far
enough
i gotta replay the chase not the
explosion
what's about right here what
we chased harden down the alley came
took a spill from about here
and dropped something
[Applause]
you gonna help me yeah are you planning
on telling me what we're looking for
we'll know when we find it
what's the phone number at the dojo five
five five
i don't know if i memory i worked two
days five five five three four eight six
i don't get it these phones store the
last number dialed in memory
so he called the dojo himself he wanted
to miss
why so the two men who wanted most would
see him die
no we did see him die no
we saw him get into the car
what's that a trigger
[Music]
he's alive looks like it
must have gone down this hole there was
a body probably some poor street person
come on i don't get it if harden is so
good why
why would he leave a clue like this huh
i mean this phone is the damn ho chi min
trail
he wouldn't leave this kind of clue on
purpose he'd have to come back to clean
it up
oh you're right he doesn't miss put
pressure on it
[Music]

unusual punishment
it's no way to act i'm gonna help you

job right you wouldn't need people like

places with you oh well maybe i should
apply to the academy
no chance i promised your dad i know i
know promise between partners is that
don't be disrespectful he used to like
being disrespectful
it was a different time in a different
place
well this is late now else is always
late
i still look crazy you know adam it's
not like the kid is family
you know all those years ago when i was
growing up in foster homes before i went
off to
college there was lots of kindness but
that's all it was
until grady right i'm so grady
you thought about what you're gonna say
if it ever turns out to be him
i've had to keep revising it
it was different when he was nine ten
years old i mean he was just a kid
you know i'd have been squeezing him so
hard then there wouldn't be any need to
say anything but now
i mean this is a grown man
it's different there's no reason you can
still hug him
no no ah
there it is
oh i'm sorry adam
[Music]
it's okay we knew it wasn't gonna be
anything
look why don't you stick around for a
while no i gotta go relieve my people
it's okay man
damn it adam hey it's okay you mind
closing up for me
no
hey thanks
[Music]
you promised i promise
[Music]
[Music]
this is pedro send an ambulance to 1827
third street two officers down
all right
[Music]
if you don't mind i'd like to run
through this again what's the matter
spectre
you want boudoir to talk slower
i specifically requested that you be in
charge of hardin's protection were you
informed of that
yes and yet you took it on yourself to
leave the house early this evening
rare and unscared more than capable oh
well the results would appear to
contradict that wouldn't they
everything was done according to
procedure extraordinary men
require extraordinary measures
why did you leave the house sergeant
personal reasons
personal reasons well
perhaps you can make harden's recapture
personal hmm
he may be out of the city by now oh
let's hope not for all our sakes
but especially for yours charlie it was
my fault
oh i know that michelle responds to
pressure better than you
expect to hear from you tomorrow give my
regards to the d.a
[Music]
she really knows where to aim doesn't
she yep well
don't worry about it why not
because i will
okay
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
help me
[Music]
help me
[Music]
um
[Music]
hey how you feeling mostly dumb
how do you tell the difference hey i'm
glad to see you okay
listen uh we want to help get them back
good
what's with the keys i don't know
something that i
just can't figure out uh i don't get it
they belong to hardin
yeah he was the only cab when i arrested
him he was hell in the cab
guy's got a rental car what's he need
with a cab
he needed the cab to get to the rental
car
that makes no sense he wasn't going to
drive the car he was going to get some
out of it
but put out a wants and warrants on
hardening some flyers get the license
number out over the radios we want to
get to that car
let me tell you something spectre pine
even the cop who arrested him who drove
i think his name is
none of them have a thing of the guy he
supposedly has ties to organized crime
right right according to the d.a
the entire world has ties to organize
crime especially me that's why he wants
the grand jury to indict me
but let me ask you a question if i'm the
crime boss of the biggest family in the
northwest
what am i doing running a meat plan then
you aren't worried about what mr hardin
might say if he's found
not a bit but let me be honest with you
i would be amazed if he is even found
what makes you so sure
i have faith in your keystone cop
imitation
then i don't have to worry about your
interference as far as i can tell
there's no need
good and don't change your mind oh what
you're gonna come after me like the d.a
hey spector decides to make you a
sistine chapel that's between you two i
stay out of it but i find you in after
harden
then i'm in and you won't like that you
were the guy who was in charge of hard
when he escaped
then i guess i don't have that much to
worry about do i
you be the judge of that
[Music]
okay so let me get this straight you if
you catch this hardened person
he's what when right when
and he's gonna help you put this major
crime for your hand maybe he'll help
okay but if he did and that's a big deal
for you
correct so
in the middle of all this you go off
chasing after someone you haven't seen
in
20 years and
it doesn't seem the least bit strange to
you
i didn't say that but you wouldn't call
it
obsessive look i made a promise to find
him and i don't get it
yeah well this goes way beyond promises
you know i'm not denying it's important
come on adam
it's been your life i mean you sent
faxes all over the country
every international agency has heard
from you and you've spent like a ton of
your own salary on private detectives i
mean anybody else would have given up
years ago but you
you just get more stubborn you know
one of these days it's gonna happen what
makes you so sure
i know actually all i can tell you is i
know well what if it doesn't
you ever thought about that
never why you want some free advice
you think about it
i won't
i can't
[Music]
movie
[Music]
i knew
[Music]
i knew
[Applause]
[Music]
hmm
hey hmm there is this thing called
leftovers you know
not in my life
i really want to hear about that
not much to tell come on
20 years 10 000 miles see man you call
that not much
all right big time adventures
sleeping in hallways eating out of
garbage cans hitting up strangers for
money
it's real exciting stuff
no one thing i never stopped looking for
you
yeah i figured but i decided uh what the
hell
if the mountain won't come to muhammad
so here i am
what took you so long what do you mean
well i've been looking for you for 20
years i've been here in the same place
for nearly that long how come you
couldn't find me
it wasn't so easy this is a big country
come on grady 20 years the department of
army's had my records all this time
it couldn't have been that hard look
what is with the questions
i didn't intend to ask any
it's just sitting here for the last two
hours that's all i can think about and
uh
i'd like an answer
i didn't spend all 20 years looking all
right
okay wasn't that finding you hey okay
fine it was important
but but i was eight years old and you
didn't come back for me
what are you talking about i tried
that's great
it didn't help me though did it
my records disappeared so i couldn't
prove who i was
and the only way to get back to you was
was buying a black market passport
except
i i had no money so i started stealing
just to get the cash to buy the passport
i got arrested they sent me the long
duck prison
it was like the war all over again you
know guys would still have to kill each
other
a few of those guys they had
other plans for a teenage kid with long
brown hair
i managed to convince them that it was a
bad idea
but but some of them i took a lot of
and one of them was a a guard
so i got some time packed on and then
some more
and some more and some more
oh 10 years
4 months 16 days
that's when i got to start looking for
you
look i'm sorry if i sounded forget it
all right
now i would have wondered the same thing
the important thing is that we're back
together again
right
right
reunion turn out there do you ever think
you hoped
but not all that
20 years no way the realization lives up
to the anticipation
can i quote you yeah be my guest
how about i get you some time off you
and the kid can go fishing
let me finish this harden thing first
all right your choice
and my thanks
so any leads a couple of people they
called uh said they saw him
nothing yet though not really anything
oh good
i'll tell specter and the rest is
imminent
it's nice well wait i mean what did
somebody ask what am i supposed to be
doing here
let's just call you a law student doing
research well i lost dude
no i don't think so just hang here all
right why you expecting trouble in there
no they just won't talk us freely if
somebody's with me hey b
you think those guys will know where
this hardened guy is
let's hope so
i'll just call any of you no way i like
something with a roof on
hey man nice jacket thanks what's it
made of
silk smooth
right i guess that's where the sand
comes from but that jacket would look
great on me
how about i try it
that out won't look so good on you i
think you're wrong
and i think you should let me try it on
that prison must have had some martial
arts program
actually the instructors weren't so hot
but they didn't know how to motivate a
guy
they're like how nightly showers
oh can i use help you mean like someone
who shows up on time every night and
stays to closing
who will spell me so i can occasionally
go on a date you mean
oh smile at the customers once in a
while instead of
scaring them off yes i would love
someone like that
only you know i don't believe he really
exists
well you're looking at him
did you talk about this hey his idea
he's a man who wants to earn his own kid
oh you mean we have to pay him i'm
afraid so ah what the heck
can't have everything when do you want
to start
as soon as possible tonight tomorrow
whenever you name it
is there a problem with that no i just
thought the two of you would want to
spend some time together

uh this is a crime scene not a
ride-along what's the other way

12 years of my life
yeah then what happened i got divorced
but then i gotten used to just being
malloy and i didn't feel like changing
oh what about this oh that shelf right

that must take some getting used to
i'd say you were the resident expert on
adjustment

to be strange
well you know what's strange is that
parts of it are exactly like i imagined
but parts are like nothing i ever
dreamed
is is he different i mean i know he has
to be it's been 20 years but can you
still tell it's him
hell yeah there's no mistaking that
the way he talks the way he moves always
in control
that was always the same and this was
after you saved his life
no we saved each other
he never told you yeah
my parents were canadian missionaries
working up in a monument village and one
day charlie showed up
looking for americans uh they didn't
find any you know but they wasted the
village anyway
they killed everybody but me i got away
and that's when you found boudreau in
the jungle yeah he was uh
shot in the leg how about you yeah i was
just
shot to hell we were together for about
uh
almost a year and he became my whole
world

i heard him telling vc that my parents
were c.i.a
i heard the calm talking while they were
burning the village
you never were looking for me i want him
and when you found out i was after him
yeah i used you use hell you betrayed me

don't try and stop me
[Music]

[Music]

that thing hurt yes really hit the fan
inspector's office

adam i've got two cops taken a lot of
painkillers over a county memorial i got
you standing there with a footprint on
your face and you're giving me a damn
sports report
look harden's good we always knew that
oh great
when the chief calls any will when
spectre's done with them i'll just tell
them that
harden is good we always knew it is that
all lieutenant
lieutenant
adam we're friends whatever happened out
there last night i expect us to trust
each other
fine trust me then
i'll get him back
[Music]
hammond watch the wires any killings
involving hardness
or victim i want to know about it
immediately reardon start canvassing a
two square mile radius around the brook
street garage
what are you gonna do make sure harvey
doesn't get himself killed before we
find him
did i miss something here i thought we
don't know where the guy
is
i'm clean guys
you enjoy your work
hello frank you know when they told me
you were here i couldn't believe it
what would make a man want to commit
suicide like this simple frank you and i
had a deal
50 up front i do the job i get another
50 on the back end
problem is i never got the 50 on the
back end
the money was where i said it would be
cops got there before i could get it
that's not my fault is it no it's not
your fault frank
it is your problem
it just occurred to me you know you and
i
we're in the same business
we both kill animals that's one way
looking at it
and you're the animal who was going to
roll over on me
it's easier to escape from the cops
frank
when they're protecting you not guarding
you
and you expect me to believe that this
was some grand
plan that you never intended to talk
i'm not stupid enough to testify against
you frank
hmm
i need you to help me disappear
it's a lot more efficient to just kill
you
more efficient less cost effective
kill me i get motor mouth like you
wouldn't believe
that'd be a trick it's simple frank i
make it a habit of wearing a wire every
time a guy like you hires me to kill
somebody
relax relax boys no recording session
today
you are a dead man i don't think that's
definitely like i don't think so you see
if i end up dead
a tape of frank loper's greatest hits
ends up with the authorities
it'll make a great case of conspiracy to
commit murder
and that buys a man life in prison
what do you want exactly
i want my 50 grand i want a 30 30 with a
scope
who's the gun for nobody you'd know
this guy who tracked me down for my cia
days in nam
you're kidding me right some kind of
grudge i can't
risk leaving him out there to find me
excuse my ignorance but if you're gonna
disappear so the feds and the cops can't
find you
how is this wacko gonna find you i don't
know how he found me this time
i'm gonna give you two choices i'm gonna
give you the money and you forget your
little hunting trick
or you can take what's behind door
number three and believe me when i tell
you
you're not gonna like what's behind door
number three
okay frank
wait your turn
your hour's up now what
what happened to your face it got in the
way of a foot
you seemed grady oh yeah he was just
here
how long ago oh 15 minutes i gave him
the money promised him
oh you didn't promise him a dime did you
how much
400. what happened
nothing i can't handle oh come off it i
know that tone that's a ton you used
every time you came up empty looking for
grady now what happened
i came up empty okay you lost me
that was great here man wasn't it
at least in body but
come on adam talk to me
it was all a lie what was all a lie
the past 20 years grady the reunion
i sow myself a bill of goods but he was
so glad to see you
had nothing to do with me i was his
conduit heart
and what's hardened to him gretty wants
to kill him
you got any idea where he could have
gone maybe he left some kind of clue
uh no nothing all right wait let's think
where would he go somewhere he'd feel
comfortable
uh hotel maybe come on there's ten
thousand hotels in the city
well how many of them are vietnamese
malloy maybe you should think about
being a cop after all
i don't look good in sunglasses where
you going little saigon
up
excuse me excuse me hi hi
uh could you tell me uh who the master
is
well we don't go in for that zen master
grasshopper stuff

could just
point me in the direction of the man in
charge
you're looking at him name's julia
bennett
i own the place are you on this place
do you have a problem with that no this
sign says
chan's dojo well i got the business in a
divorce settlement
oh your husband was chant no jerry
i made the name up who's gonna go to
jerry's dojo
wait you do you teach martial arts here
though right of course
you're looking for self-defense or sport
neither
i'm looking for a job well the only job
i got is an instructor position
good i'll take it
you why is that so strange
well no offense you just don't look the
part oh
oh well no offense neither do you
what are you doing
sorry about the wall i take it on my
first paycheck unless
of course you still think i'm not
qualified
well i wasn't talking about qualified to
teach martial arts
what i meant was i need a guy who can
speak vietnamese
what i said
no problem
sounds to me like if you find the kid
he's gonna wind up in the hospital
yeah sure and if i don't you wind up in
jail or worse
i don't mind that man they can't speak a
word in english
i just can't find a place for them to
stay maybe they can stay wherever
grady's standing
i wouldn't worry about that kid adam
from the look of that baseball on your
face i say he can take care of himself
pretty good
who guards the guard you know come again
he's devoted most of his existence to
murdering a man and if he succeeds
he ruins his life
and what about your life man
you're gonna waste the rest of it trying
to protect the memory
i can't just turn this off you know then
start
working on it will you
no now you remember what you told
brimley at our last vet meeting
you told him to let go of the past now
when are you going to start taking some
of your own advice
man i made a promise i can't do that to
this kid
yeah man this ain't about a promise and
you know it you know so much you tell me
what it's about
uh you tell me
you remember what it was like in country
much as i try to forget
all i kept thinking about was getting
back to the world alive
the world
hot showers good food
a comfortable bed you remember what it
was like when we finally did get back to
the world
hell man now that was one of the
happiest days of my life look at me
i got off that plane i ran across that
tarmac faster than i ever ran because it
was like
if i didn't hurry i'd wake up before i
got to hold my wife and my kid again
now wasn't that just about one of the
best damn days you ever had
it's one of the worst why
because i realized for the first time
would get mine to a world mint
wasn't about hot showers
the damn [ __ ] wasn't my good food
it was about people about family
so why is that a bad thing
it's a bad thing when you don't have it
and i didn't
[Music]
no wife no kids nothing
[Music]
but you must have been happy to be out
of that jungle
back in the world
[Music]

little eight-year-old kid that saved my
life all those years ago

o'clock am tuesday morning to present my
witness otherwise

about the rest of your case against him
let's just say harden was a big part of
it let's just say he was the only part
of it
there are other elements oh yeah like
what the rest of my case is none of your
concern
[Applause]
well we could always convince someone to
get a little inventive on the stand
i don't think you're in a position to be
insubordinate sergeant

both know you've used in the past
did i miss something here
a few years ago our creative ada here
suggested i perjure myself in court
the man was guilty you knew it i knew it
he knew it i was not going to let a
killer back on the street because

finished here where are you

people caught in a crossfire now it's
just between him and me
you're wrong
see that buddy of mine he was helping me
to find you
but now he's laid up in the hospital in
serious condition because harden
tortured him
when he wouldn't say where you were
that's not my fault just more
justification for killing him
what's that that's for betraying me
between you you're right
that's for leaving me in the lot i
didn't have a choice i had orders are
you gonna come back for me
i did come back for you the hell you did
i came back for you but by the time i
got there you were gone they moved me to
an orphanage i tricked every orphanage
in the lot
i was in the name
you checked you checked every orphanage
orphanage the hospital
for a graveyard
what's 10 just carry a picture around
with me and tell people you're
you're my father yeah for some reason i
doubt if anybody believed that one
and nobody did nobody with me i wanted
to believe it you know i really did
but the more time passed and you didn't
come for me the less i believed unless i
believed
unless i cared i came back for you grady
god knows i tried to find you but i
couldn't find you
i wonder why
i like to start showing that picture on

that one either

just glad he's dead
that's what he deserves you're sure he
is dead right
well you and boudreau saw the car blow
up didn't you yeah
yeah i've been waiting 20 years for that
moment
i have good news and bad news the good
news is your friend ted willis is out of
danger
oh god yeah the bad news is
our case just went up in smoke that's a
bad name
if you talk to specter it is so because
her case against loper blows up with a
car themself all right
let's just say you and i moved up two
notches on spectre's hit list
hey i always wanted to be number one
guess it's just hard to accept the guy's
finally dead we found the body
he's dead all right guys can i see it i
really need to see it myself
i'll take you to the county morgue but
you won't recognize him the guy was a
real crispy critter what there's no
fingerprints
no fingers
dental work uh isn't that what you use
if there's no fingerprints
what are we gonna check them against i
mean the guy killed people for a living
you think he had dental records the man
is dead
why can't you just accept that
i'm trying i'm trying
your friend's making everybody crazy you
want to take them home
grady won't accept harden's death
because if he does then what does grady
have left to do with his life
well he better start accepting it loper
took care of his dirty work for him
maybe should go convince him of that
fact i can't convince him of something
i'm not sure of myself charlie
well you said you saw it yeah but why do
you miss
what harden was considered a first class
yet man right
i mean he's trained by the c.i.a this is
not a man who misses
well you said grady was reaching for the
phone he was lucky it rang when it did
i don't believe in luck man
all right
right
you mind telling me what we're doing
here
ah something just doesn't add up you
know i've been replaying this explosion
over and over in my mind then i realized
i wasn't rewinding the tape back far
enough
i gotta replay the chase not the
explosion
what's about right here what
we chased harden down the alley came
took a spill from about here
and dropped something
[Applause]
you gonna help me yeah are you planning
on telling me what we're looking for
we'll know when we find it
what's the phone number at the dojo five
five five
i don't know if i memory i worked two
days five five five three four eight six
i don't get it these phones store the
last number dialed in memory
so he called the dojo himself he wanted
to miss
why so the two men who wanted most would
see him die
no we did see him die no
we saw him get into the car
what's that a trigger
[Music]
he's alive looks like it
must have gone down this hole there was
a body probably some poor street person
come on i don't get it if harden is so
good why
why would he leave a clue like this huh
i mean this phone is the damn ho chi min
trail
he wouldn't leave this kind of clue on
purpose he'd have to come back to clean
it up
oh you're right he doesn't miss put
pressure on it
