Original subtitles

Sick, brother.

It's allergies.

You're not allergic to anything.

I'm allergic to nagging. Markers?

You look pasty.

I am not pasty. I feel fine. I'm not sick.

What do I feel? Get away from me. Have you taken your temperature?

Yes, it's 98 .5.

I'm in perfect health. I don't get sick.

If you don't surrender to it, it doesn't happen, and it doesn't happen to me.

You know, denial is a form of illness unto itself.

Nash, it's me, Nick, your father.

Yes, Nick, I know that you're my father.

What's up?

Somebody's following me.

Who?

Bobby. Your brother, Nash. He's here.

He's following me.

Nick, where are you?

Horseman's Park, near the bus stop.

Hurry, son, please, hurry.

All right, Nick, you stay right there. I'll be there in a few minutes.

Oh, man.

I think I was losing my marbles, but it's him.

It's Bobby.

Well, where is he?

Point him out to me, because I don't see him.

You sure it wasn't somebody that just looked like him?

No, no.

He's over there by the truck.

Nick, that's what Bobby used to look like. He'd be 50 years old now.

I'm telling you, I'd know my own flesh and blood.

That's Bobby.

All right, fine, fine. Why don't I just go over there and get him? Then we'll

know for sure, all right?

Stay with him, Joe.

What is this, son?

That's you.

Me. Bobby.

When was that taken?

After Bobby gave me the coup.

Even before he went to Vietnam.

Run that for me, will ya? It's gonna have my prints on it, but it's also

have that kid's prints all over it. You got it.

That guy was from down under.

An Aussie driver's license. Fancy that.

Plans right he was driving on the wrong side of the road.

Let's see where the out -of -town guests would stay and make sure there's not

more like him, huh?

This guy was a pro.

The way he handled the car and the gun? You bet.

Why would a hitman come halfway around the world to wipe out a kid who was

following your dad?

I got a better question.

Where'd the kid get that picture?

Hmm.

All right, Nick.

Bobby, I just know it is.

Now, Nick, you're just a little stressed out.

Let's get you home.

No, I want to stay and help look.

Nick, I'm going to find the kid, and then we'll know who he is when I do find

it. But until then, you're going to have to let me do my job, all right?

Well, you don't have to get snotty.

I wasn't snotty. Was I snotty? Okay, you're sick. Damn.

He must be Bobby's son.

You know what that means, don't you, Nice? That means Bobby's still alive.

He's got a point there.

Oh, he's got a theory.

Okay. Will you explain it then?

I can't, Nick.

So therefore, I'm not going to try.

I'm going to gather facts, collect evidence, and not speculate.

Not about this.

I remember the day he left for Vietnam.

It was just a day like today.

That smell in the air.

He looked so good in his uniform.

I just loved him so much.

I was so proud of him.

He volunteered. He wasn't drafted, you know.

Joe, did I ever tell you the time that he single -handedly won the city

championship?

Galileo High.

Threw three touchdown passes.

Intercepted two on defense.

And kicked the winning field goal.

God, that kid was something.

Could have had a full scholarship.

But he applied for the police academy.

Then he enlisted.

Impetuous kid.

But he wouldn't have it any other way.

Applied to the police academy, huh? Thought he'd be a cop, eh?

Oh, yeah.

He would have made the best policeman this city ever had.

Man, Nick sure reveres Bobby.

Bobby was easy to revere.

I did.

Yeah, well, doesn't Bobby that whole number one something?

Well, I don't have to tell you about the special bond that a parent has with his

firstborn.

It's not new.

Well, they're a lot more secure than I am. I'm still trying to respect my

father. Hey, Dad and Joe. This is Kent. We're going to lunch.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

You okay, Captain? You look a little peaked.

Kent's a doctor.

Oh, really?

I'm fine. I just have a little bug.

I'll squash it.

So, what kind of medicine do you practice?

I specialize in post -axon reconstruction.

Ken's a plastic surgeon.

Okay.

Well, you guys enjoy your lunch. See you.

Hey, well, well, well.

What? Oh, to hand me you to make sure it's thick, huh?

A personal courtesy, by the way. Thank you.

Listen, man, we kicked every stone and checked every door like twice. The kid

vaporized. So he coming in?

Yeah. He should be in in about... Whoa!

All right, all right, what happened? Uh, something furry just bounced off my

hood, man.

Is it alive?

I don't know. It's not moving.

Well, you just can't leave it there. What do you mean? I can't? No, it could

need help. You gotta pick it up.

All right, yeah.

Okay, yeah.

Ah, you made it.

I'll be back for it in a day or two.

If anyone touches it, you'll lose your bonus.

Lab lifted two distinct sets of prints off the photo, but neither did the

system.

He's an active private file. He didn't get them from me. I want you to run the

prints on this photo against the prints in here.

Okay.

Do you want to tell me what's going on, or do I solve that mystery too?

This is Brother Bobby.

He was an MIA.

In Vietnam?

Good morning.

We all thought he was dead until three years ago. He showed up here in San

Francisco. He was a drug dealer.

In fact, a major player in Southeast Asia.

Oh, boy. That must have went over big.

Yeah.

Nash and his dad were at odds over him, and then he disappeared just as

mysteriously as he had appeared.

So, wait, you want me to take this file from Nash's private drawer without his

permission to find out what exactly? If his brother's back?

Exactly. We don't need Nash's permission because he's never going to find out in

a scoop.

Hey, hey, we got an ID on the shooter. Sydney authorities just called. They

he was an enforcer for a drunk kingpin down there named Malcolm Kree.

Never heard of him. Apparently, Kreeves made quite a name for himself in

Southeast Asia, taking over big chunks of the opium and heroin trade by wiping

out his competition.

His competition with some scared teenager?

It doesn't compute for me either. But I did trace the shooter's rental car to

the St. Francis Hotel, and guess who's staying there as well?

Kreeves? Yeah.

Take Antoine. Okay.

Ooh, just in time, brother. You and I are heading over to the St. Francis

What is that?

You mean, what is that? That's a little furry thing that bounced off my hood on

the way to work.

I didn't mean to bring it back here, man. I mean, take it to a vet. What if

needs help?

It doesn't. It was just stunned.

He's really friendly. Let me pick him up and pet him and feed him and

everything. I thought it was a dog or a cat. That's a squirrel, man. You've been

watching your animal planet. I thought it was a pet.

It's a rodent.

Squirrels are nothing but rats with blow -dry tails. He's adorable. They carry

diseases. Not my squirrel.

Perfectly healthy and friendly.

Here, check him out.

Hope it's not a rabbit.

Hey, Bubba.

Inger and Ula heard you were sick, so they sent some things over for you.

Oh, that's great, Joe. Thanks, but I'm fine. I'm just getting some sea air.

here is an ice fish sweat sack. You heat it with stones, and then you lay with

it in the tub for about an hour.

Now I am sick. What's in that?

That's a fish emulsion and sulfur.

Thank you. Tell them I said thanks. Look, this may look gross, but you rub a

little bit of this on your temple and on your nose.

cures any headache.

Joe! Joe!

So I guess you don't want the Lindenberry depositories, huh?

Is that what I

think it is?

Yeah. I talked Kent into a consultation.

Oh, so you're seriously thinking about doing this, huh?

Yeah, I'm tired of faking it, so, yeah, why not?

Well, all right, I'm not saying that you shouldn't, but let me play devil's

advocate here for a second. I observed a few of these surgeries when I was in

med school, and they're very invasive.

There can be all kinds of complications, some not so serious, but some serious.

Okay, are you trying to scare me?

No, no, I just want to tell you what a lot of doctors won't tell you until

it's over.

I mean, if you still want to do it, then that's fine. I have no problem with it.

I just think maybe it's unnecessary.

I mean, come on, look at you. You're beautiful.

Okay, so then what's the difference between this and putting makeup on in

morning or getting your hair done? I mean, it's all about feeling good about

yourself, right?

Yeah.

Just do me a favor, okay? And don't rush into anything.

Yeah.

Mr.

Kree. Where's my truck? You mean my father's truck?

Listen, your father pissed me off.

And you know what happened to him.

And now you are very close to pissing me off. I'll drive that truck into the

bay. Do you know how far you know over your head you are, kid?

Listen, I want $3 million for that truck.

American.

You got 24 hours. I'll call you back.

Kid's traveling on a stolen passport. We tracked him to a rooming house here.

Get him.

I want my truck back.

Oh, no kidding. You're sick?

Need a ride?

I'm sick. I'm not dead.

All right. Take care of yourself.

Lab matched the prints on the file you gave me to the ones on the photo. They

belong to Bobby Bridges.

Figured. So where does that put us?

Nowhere good.

You didn't find him?

No.

Take a shower. I'm sweating like a Panama pig.

Nash, you should be out looking for your brother.

Well, Nick, right now, I'm burning up with a fever.

My joints are on fire, and my head feels like it's in a vice, okay?

Well, your brother ran in the state quarterfinals track meet with the flu

came away with... Oh, I know. He came away with gold medals and the Breeders'

Cup and the Super Bowl trophy.

I'm just not as good as Bobby. I never was.

I guess I never will be.

Damn bugs got me.

No, no, I'm sorry, son. I should have known better than to hope.

You go ahead. You take a shower.

I'll go make a bowl of soup.

Nick?

Yeah, Todd?

You check this out.

Doing some research on her favorite rodent.

Is that what I think it is? Yeah, I found him under the stairs.

I'm judging from the moisture content. Rocky's still here.

Look, if this research is correct, this time of year, she's nesting.

Nesting? Follow me.

How do you know it's a she?

Strictly.

See, right here. This is where I got the droppings.

Here, you stay here. I'm going to go around this side.

What exactly is your plan?

If you see her first, you flush her toward me, and then I throw the blanket

her, and then you get her in the sack.

All right.

I'll come to pop you a little.

She's got very acute hearing.

Here she comes.

Harvey,

what are you doing?

Oh, Harvey!

We've got this completely under control, all right? Now award the niche.

Is this the man who rented the room?

Nah, just a kid. A kid 30 years younger than this guy.

What's the kid's name?

John Smith.

Fake cash.

Probably a fake name, huh?

Yeah, probably.

So you've never seen this guy before, huh? He never visited John Smith or

with him? I've never seen that guy.

Okay, thanks a lot. Yeah.

Take a look at this.

Most of this writing's in Chinese, but I think it's saying the Seabright La

Tochi Min City for San Francisco.

It's got to be a boat.

How much do you want to bet?

That container was on the Seabright when she left.

Yeah, so what's in the container?

Well, if I was a guessing man, and I am, I'd say it's heroin from the Golden

Triangle. Yeah, but whose? The kid's or Creve's? Well, let's see if the good

ship Seabright is in our harbor.

I'll start at that dock.

This kid is the key to the whole thing. We've got to find the kid.

Let's do something to help ourselves.

Release Creve, drop all the charges against him, and follow him. He might

lose to the kid or vice versa. Right.

I thought we were going to meet. I decided to pick you up instead.

Dr. McCall, thanks again.

You're the best.

Well, thank you, Jessica.

We'll see you in a few weeks, all right?

I might have to agree with her.

Speaking of which, I've been thinking about what we talked about. Yes, me.

Look, as a doctor, as your friend, I can tell you, you don't need them. Yeah,

but you also told me it's not about what other people think. It's what makes me

happy. Yes, that's true, but... But?

You don't need them.

Plain and simple.

But I want to do this.

And I want you to do it.

Cheap -ass mic, but traffic is killing me.

I can't hear anything.

Too much other noise.

Nothing. Doesn't matter. Eyes are more important than ears in this one.

Yes, I'm at the corner of Balboa and Fifth.

There's a van parked across the street next to a flower store.

Yeah, the guys inside are acting kind of strange.

Bowman's got a gun. I think he better send for one right away.

We're on our way. Just stay away from the truck, sir.

So what's your plan?

Simple. I gotta trap that thing, and I gotta do it before Nash finds out. Uh

-huh. How do you plan on doing that?

Are you implying that I can't outsmart a rodent? So far, you haven't.

Shift change, gentlemen.

We've brought stimulants. Oh, bless you, lady.

Look, see that right there?

Just like that. Nothing outrageous, nothing, like, stripperish. Just

Yeah, if she were any more balanced, she'd fall forward.

Okay, well, then let's get the male co -worker first. What are we talking about

here? Oops.

Hold that thought.

He's on the move.

He's made us. What the hell is he doing?

Who called in the cavalry?

We're going to lose our suspect.

I don't know. I don't know.

We better go. Oh, man.

Sorry, we've got to report a suspicious suspect with guns.

What's wrong?

You're shaking and sweating like you're sitting in an ice bath with your feet on

fire. I'm calling an ambulance.

No, you're not.

You're overreacting, Nick.

Like hell I am.

All right.

All right, I'll split the difference with you.

Give me the phone.

I'll call a taxi and go to the ER.

I'll go down and wait. No, no, no. I don't need you to go.

Like hell, I'm not leaving my only son to fend for himself.

Yeah, well, I'm not having my only father sit in an ER waiting room all

either. Norm's taxi, please hold on. You are the most stubborn person I have

ever met.

Well, that's because he never met you.

Address, please.

Taxi? Yes. Yeah.

Nick, wait, wait, wait.

Nice, I'm going with you. No, no, no, no. You just go on back in and go to

I'll be fine. I'll call you in the morning.

Son. Nick.

I'll be fine.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Hey, you.

Hello?

Oh, Daddy, thank God you're here.

He completely botched it, Nash. She's a butcher. She's hemorrhaging. She has an

infection. If we don't get her to a hospital, she could die.

Where is he?

He took off. I stayed with her.

We're going to take care of her. What have you got on Dr. McCall? McCall is

latest alias of a doctor named Bryce Rosen. He's in room 232.

Dr.

McCall in there?

Bridges, hello. How's your daughter, Cassidy, feeling?

Get up.

You seem upset.

I'm nowhere near upset yet. Before you go off on her, you should know I give

women what they want.

Yeah, I usually make them larger, but that's because they're too afraid to ask

for what they really want.

Once in a while, I screw up like I did with your daughter. Well, it's all

because of her own vanity.

Why don't you get out of here?

Your daughter got what she deserved.

You're under arrest. Get up.

For what?

You want to shoot me?

You really killed your

daughter. It doesn't look good.

Joe, relax.

Now, help me, help me. Did you make any threats?

He came at me with a scalpel.

Well, that's not what the witness said. You've got to be straight with me.

I am.

The witness said it was an execution.

What witness? I haven't seen anybody else. What witness?

I want to talk to him. No, no, no. Come on. I've been after him for two days. I

want to know who he is. Look, look at the suspect. I can't let you talk to the

witness. If I have to chase you again, kid!

If I have to chase you!

Bobby Nash, it's your old man.

We'll be home soon.

Bobby, we gotta go, man.

Ash, it's my last night of freedom.

Dad will understand.

I want you to hold onto those for me.

You're giving me the cuda?

It's like you're back.

Damn. You're shot, Bubba.

Tell him not to go.

Don't go, Bobby.

You're shot, Bubba.

What's wrong with you, Bubba?

What if you don't come back? No chance.

Now, come on. Take your shot.

Bobby, I don't want you to go.

You enlisted. You could get out of it. I need to, Nash.

I need to get out of here so you can come play self.

That part I get.

But why didn't you come back?

30 years as an MIA. Do you know how much that hurt Nick?

Everybody. Hey, I never told you how to live your life, so don't blame me for

how I live mine.

I didn't get to live my life, Bobby.

I had to live yours.

What are you talking about?

I wanted to study architecture.

Oh, so you want me to feel sorry for you, Bubba. That it?

Because you had the loving father, the great career, the wonderful daughter?

While I lived at flop houses and jungles and never knew when the VC or the cops

or the competition was going to show up, I am really sorry you had to live my

life, Nash.

I am so sorry.

Now, a few things before I go.

Rule number one, no eating the kuda.

Number two, what the hell?

You can just make up the rest of the rules yourself.

We're not done with this yet.

Joe, Joe, did you see him? He was right here. Did you see him out there?

What's going on?

Under arrest for the murder of Dr. Kent McCall.

Wait, wait, Joe, listen to me. Listen, he was right there. Joe, listen to me.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

It's okay, son. We're here.

Do you know where you are?

Do you know what year this is?

That's funny. I was going to ask you the same thing.

Glad you're back, son.

I missed you.

Where's Nick?

Cassidy took him home.

She didn't... She hadn't... What?

Never mind.

Never mind.

Did you find the kid?

No. We lost Kreev, too. It's a long story.

Check out a place called Polly's Pool Hole. It's in the sunset.

It's still there.

Why?

It used to be one of Bobby's favorite hangs.

If we stopped in there, we might be able to pick up his track.

Oh, okay, okay. Where are you going? The doctor said you had to stay here 24

hours for observation.

Well, I'll tell you what.

I'll take a look at myself.

And I'll call him and tell him what I observed.

Come on, let's go.

I place the bait here.

Squirrely whirly comes in, does a little nibbling.

Squirrel problem's over.

Squirrels don't like cheese. They're into nuts.

Au contraire, my friend. They'll eat anything. They're like goats. I've been

reading up.

Whatever. You know, I put some nuts in there.

Twine. Huh?

Don't move.

Here she is.

I saw my college roommate do this one once. Okay, when she takes off, I'm

to herd her toward you. You trap her with that trash can. What trash can? The

one right there by your foot.

You got it?

All right, there she goes.

Come here. Come here.

Come here.

She does like nuts.

Excuse me, mate. I'm here to see Frank. Yeah, we know who you're here for.

Now, you're not going to cause him any trouble.

Got it.

We come in peace.

The end of the bar.

Just here.

Do you really think your new friends here can protect you?

Look, I'm going to take pity on you.

I'm going to give you two million for that truck.

I don't want your pity, Mr. Creed.

Just the three million.

Oh, don't get greedy, kid.

Take the two and live to enjoy it.

I'll call you tomorrow.

You better have all the money.

Good shooting, Paul.

That's a description.

How come you can't move that fast and catch a squirrel?

You know, you cunt.

Hey, cunt.

Relax. Relax.

Come here.

You're a lot cuddlier than my last vision.

I feel fine. There's a squirrel in here.

Was he alone or was there a big dumb moose with him?

There was a squirrel in here, right?

What? I found a kid.

So three days ago, a container was stolen from the dock.

Somebody hooked it up to a truck and drove it off.

The ship was a Seabright out of Ho Chi Minh City.

How familiar?

Now, you arrived in San Francisco the day before the ship did. Now, that's

a coincidence.

You'll never find it.

Why don't you let me go?

Found you, didn't I?

See, I'm kind of good at finding things.

And when I find that truck, then I will.

You'll have lost your lever.

Now, we're guessing whatever was in that container belonged to Kreev. Did your

dad work with Kreev?

They used to be partner.

Come on.

They had a falling out.

A dispute over a load of heroin. The heroin in the container?

It was my dad.

Creep said he owed him money on a past deal.

Tried to take the drugs back.

They fought.

So your plan is to get the drugs back?

That money's rightfully mine.

That's your entrance into the family business.

No.

It's my way out.

Peeves agreed to pay me two million dollars to get the container back.

I'm using the money and starting a new life for myself.

Something I promised my father.

You think, huh?

I feel

touched

like the touch of your...

I answer out loud, but there's no one here.

Here you go, Joe.

Inventory this, Doc.

Call Creve.

Tell him the drop is at the docks of Treasure Island.

What do I get out of this?

You get out of this.

Where's my money?

Where's my product?

You're smart, kid.

A lot smarter than your father was.

Maybe we can do business Give me the money

Get him up. Get him up. Get up against the car.

Get up against the car. Put your hands on the car.

Hands on the car. Let's go. Cut him, Ronnie.

Cut him. Drop the gun.

The cops weren't here. You wouldn't be walking away.

Neither would you.

I would love for you to do something stupid.

You've made up your mind, haven't you?

Yes.

I have an appointment with a plastic surgeon tomorrow.

Not Kent, but someone he recommended.

Please let me say this first.

I know that you don't get it, and I understand that.

And I know you're my father, and you're very concerned with the risk.

I also know that you think I'm fine the way I am, and that this is totally

unnecessary.

I just can't let anyone else define me, Daddy.

You know?

I have to do what feels right to me.

You told me that.

So go ahead, say whatever you want, but I'm going to do it tomorrow, regardless.

This was his first Little League team.

Your dad was a pitcher.

Now, later on in high school, he was scouted by the Dodgers, the Mets, the

Cardinals. He was scouted by the Giants. He was scouted by Cleveland.

He was scouted by Detroit.

Don't you want to be over there with him?

He had a sizzling fastball, and he had a fantastic curve.

No, this is good.

I want that thing off the barge.

Hey there, baby.

You little hitchhiker from hell.

Time for animal control.

Okay, you lift, I grab. One, two, three.

Oh, you're a regular St. Francis of Assisi.

Bits were a citizen.

And this here was Nash on his first bike.

Bobby taught him how to ride it.

They did everything together.

They were such good friends. You never saw but good friends.

What goes there?

That was the very last picture taken of all of us together.

Before your father left for Vietnam.

Hey, mister.

If you ever want to talk.

Joe, I made my peace with Bobby's dad and mom.

I haven't seen one similar cure yet, brother.

Uh, you could stay.

No.

Thanks anyway, though.

Where are you headed?

West.

after you do

we find

the cause of freedom buried

in the ground mother

will swallow you lay your

down.
