11 o 'clock sharp, time to go in.

Hope there's no wild goose chase.

Our notes said that it could lead us to
Chang.

That's where it's at risk.

I'll help you.

Yes, could we have table seven?

Table seven?

This way, please.

So?

So the note said we wait for a message.

Jim, the goddess Kui shall point the way
to the bandit Chang.

Same thing.

Who's the goddess Kui?

Kui is the most powerful and wicked of
all the Chinese witches.

Well, what does she look like?

Well, it is said that she wears a mask
of evil to hide her face, and that the

mask is so ugly that all who gaze on it
are terrified.

Exactly like that one.

Let me see where they go through here.

Yeah, they came through here.

Went right up that ladder over there.

She's been trying to say something, but
so far, no go.

Get a hold of him.

Jim, how are you?

Hi, Lieutenant. How are you? I don't
think you know my friend, Jeremy Pike.

my partner.

They married Artie to a desk in
Washington for a few months.

Oh, this is Lieutenant Tom Bingston.

Why is the Secret Service interested in
a local killing?

Name Ding Chang mean anything to you?

Yeah. We've been trying to get our hands
on him for quite a while.

But he's been too slippery.

Well, he finally knocked over a
government storage depot.

That's how we got brought into it.

We got a note from a little lady saying
she could lead us to Chang, but we never

quite got to talk to her.

I take it no one saw anything?

Well, if they did, they don't want to
talk about it. Unfortunately, we don't

even know the girl's name.

Can't help you there.

But I do know his name.

He's Johnny Dirk.

Johnny Dirk?

This can't be Johnny Dirk, Lieutenant.
Johnny Dirk is serving a long stretch in

Fort Alcatraz.

Aren't you, Johnny?

Hey, Johnny, how did you manage to get
away?

And, uh, what happened to your friends?
Why'd they leave so hastily and where'd

they go?

And why was the girl killed?

Well, I think you better get him out of
here for the time being. We'll discuss

this with him later.

I still can't figure Din Chang breaking
into an arsenal.

He never had too much trouble laying
hands on guns before.

How about fulminator mercury?

That's all he took.

Ten barrels of it, Tom.

Hey, that's very special stuff. He could
blow up half the city.

That's what we thought.

This is all she had with her,
Lieutenant.

Could I hold on to these things for a
while, Tom?

I don't see why not.

Well, I'm going to head back, try to get
Johnny Dirk to open up.

But don't depend on it.

Talk to you later.

Well, here we are.

No closer to Chang, and unfortunately we
have a dead girl that no one seems to

know. Or do they?

Last time I saw one of these, it was
making a lion dance.

The nameless girl was a puppeteer.

Yeah, it's all we have, that and this
ring.

At least there's something to work with.

But what does Pelican have to do with
all of this? Yeah, Pelican.

Doesn't connect up at all.

Where does Ding Chang fit in?

Mr. West, Mr. Pike?

Yes. I'm Amy Stafford. I work for
Colonel Blake in San Francisco.

Would you please sit down, Ms. Stafford?
Thank you. We just received an answer

from Colonel Morris, the commandant at
Alcatraz.

In reply to your inquiry, be advised
that John Dirk, number 14357, is serving

15 years sentence this fort. No
possibility of escape. Currently in

Maximum security wing.

Signed, Kelton Morris, 6th Artillery
Commanding.

If Dirk is still on Alcatraz, who's the
man that you caught?

Well, maybe it was his twin brother,
Miss Stafford. Except for the fact that

doesn't have a twin brother. No, Jeremy,
it wasn't his twin brother.

It was Johnny Dirk.

And why would Morris lie to us about his
being on Alcatraz?

Alcatraz. That's it. Why didn't I think
of it?

In Sonora, Mexico, there's a prison, and
it's called the Alcatraz. And what's

carved into the gates?

A large bird.

A pelican.

Alcatraz is the Spanish word for
pelican.

That's it. That's what that dead girl
was trying to tell us.

Somehow, Din Chang is tied into
Alcatraz, and we'd better find out how.

But if what you suspect about it is
true, they're not going to want the

Service walking around there.

Amy wasn't Amy you got a point

your little boat trip.

Seems your former outfit no longer
desire your company, but we're delighted

have you here.

We have a few simple rules.

Do what you're told, when you're told.

Now, some of you men might find it
difficult to learn to live with that,

way or another, everybody learns.

Another little rule.

When I talk, you listen.

Oh.

Troublemaker, huh?

All right.

You're very important to me in my life.

But if you don't let me marry my man,
I'll leave.

That's right.

Thank you.

I'm not pretty anymore.

That's right.

This prisoner swung on Corporal Simon
and is still living.

Matter of fact, he knocked the corporal
out cold, sir. Did you now?

Well, that's never been done before.

Why? It was a small matter of a stick in
my back, sir. What?

Cruel and unusual punishment?

Very much against regulations.

Why did Corporal Simon use a swagger
stick?

On the prisoner.

What swagger stick, sir?

Oh, I see.

I don't know why you're here, prisoner,
but it's obvious that in addition to

everything else, you're a chronic liar.

I have his file here.

Sir, your name is Private Court, and
according to the records... You've

a one -man war against the army.

Desertion, breaking out of the
guardhouse, assaulting your commanding

topped off by an unprovoked assault
against the senior guard of Alcatraz.

Do you have anything to say before I
pass summary judgment?

Nothing.

Ah, Corporal Simon.

Back to signing those papers, Morse, or
I'll have you thrown back in solitary.

Get out.

Come on.

Anita.

Thought you'd like it.

There are 105 iron cannonballs in these
three pyramids.

Each ball weighs 42 pounds. And there's
only one minor little problem.

Someone's stacked in the wrong place.

You've got brains, too.

On the other side of the parade ground.

Start stacking.

You realize, of course, that this may
ruin our friendship.

I'll take that chance.

Start stacking.

Oh, a thousand celestial pardons,
ancient one.

But do you have a young lady who assists
you?

There are those who interrupt me, but no
one assists me.

Oh, then I am indeed desolated.

It's the neck.

Yeah.

It's not bad at all.

The only thing is... Yeah, I know.

You liked them better where they were
before.

Private course.

You're a mind reader.

All right.

Pick them up and put them down on the
other side, soldier.

Move!

So now we know your name is, correction,
was Jasmine Blood.

Revered one, this unworthy performance
is concluded.

Ah, concluded, but not forgotten.

How surely you slew the dragon.

Happily, I must remind you that... Oh,
how bravely you died with such wondrous

trailing clouds of smoke.

Except this miserable dragon's thanks,
but... Oh, it is so sad that all may not

die as gloriously.

Who are you?

One who would have wished Jasmine Blood
alive.

You knew my sister?

Better than I know her murderer.

How do we know you are not the murderer?

If I were, should I fear the sword you
hold?

There are swords and swords.

That is indeed a proper sword.

But because of my talisman, I am
unafraid.

What do you want?

Ding Cheng.

Where may I find him?

My sister has died before her time.

Now you're asking me to follow her?

Surely you can tell me something.

Anything that might help me find the one
I seek.

Honored, sir.

The others, they are afraid to talk.

Ah, but not you. I also, but I'm not
afraid to whisper.

Whisper to me, then, about Ding Chang?

No, about a Frenchman.

Jean Paul, Ding Chang's friend.

The friend of my enemy is my enemy, too.

Tell me where I may find this Champolle.

There is a warehouse.

The New Kowloon.

Now, that I like, soldier.

I know.

But you'd like it better if they were
back over there, right? I should say

It's perfect just the way it is. Don't
you agree?

Yes, sir, soldier.

This time you did it good.

Real good.

But I know you just realized something.

A small thing.

If you could put this cannonball on the
top.

And that cannonball.

Right. That's the idea.

Then it'd really be perfect.

Cut.

You wouldn't be having any of this
trouble if you were a little less

In the future, when I do this to you...

I'm surprised you're still alive.

I'm surprised so am I, Miss... At ease,
Father Court.

My name is Dr. Gibson.

I have the technical rank of a captain.

And I'm in charge of the infirmary.

Yes, sir, Captain.

Furthermore, I know all about you.

All about me?

All.

I've examined you thoroughly.

There are no broken bones, but you are a
mass of contusions and bruises.

Cannonballs usually do have that effect
on me. In addition to which, I've

familiarized myself with your military
coil.

It's the most inspiring record I've ever
read.

But that really isn't a true insight to
my inner personality, my hopes, my

dreams, my cares, my fears.

I know a little something about that,
too.

You were feverish for a while.

Did I reveal anything interesting?

Among other things.

You kept repeating something that was
obviously very much in your mind. A

who seems to be a puppeteer or a witch.

Then something about a Din Chang.

That bunker out there.

What goes on?

Don't even ask about that place. Why
not?

I've seen many prisoners go in there.

I've never seen one come out.

How dare you?

You knock before you enter this
infirmary. Sorry about that, Doc.

I've got this order to take the prisoner
off your hands for a little solitary

confinement.

I won't allow it.

Private court is suffering from a
fracture of the ulna and is unfit for

Now, look here, Doc. I got this
authorization. And I tell you that the

is unfit for duty.

Since I'm in charge of this infirmary,
he shall not be released. Sorry, Doc.

Orders is orders.

Get up.

I'm unfit for duty, man.

Get him up.

Curtis!

Sold the doc on the idea that you had a
broken wing, huh, soldier?

Well, I got just the place for you to
recuperate.

Till the roses blow in your cheeks
again.

An ideal vacation spot we call the
bunkers.

Time is growing short.

Now, when can we expect the shipment?

So, Din Chang is growing impatient.

The merchandise. And be assured, it is
exquisite. We'll be shipped very

A small reinforcement.

No.

No? No? Alors, no.

And very shortly after, I, I, Jean
-Paul.

will shortly arrive.

Allons -y.

Get those other crates ready.

Take a good look around, Cort.

You won't be seeing sunshine again.

One thing I can always count on from you
is a future for words.

See how smart you feel after your little
tour down there.

After you.

Take him in.

You know what would have happened if
this had hit the floor?

You appear to be very knowledgeable.

What would have happened?

It would all probably be a memory by now
scattered all over San Francisco Bay.

It seems you've saved all our lives.

What do you know about fulminated
mercury?

I know quite a bit, sir. Maybe almost as
much as you.

That might make you an expert, young
man.

I don't know about being an expert, sir,
but I do know that it's an acid. When

it's combined with mercury, it becomes
an explosive.

So unstable, though, that it's hardly
worth using.

Not even in these.

Rockets. Why should you be so surprised?

It's what we Chinese are so good at,
rockets.

Long before the rest of the world
graduated from their spears and bows and

arrows, we Chinese had developed rockets
to a remarkable degree.

But one element we lacked.

An effective priming charge, like
culminate of mercury, which your

government has now most thoughtfully
provided.

Congratulations. I'd say you're one up
on the old Spanish garrison's 20

pounders. Thank you.

Now, young man, let's see what a
strategist you are.

What could be the purpose of these
rocket launchers set up here in the

overlooking the bay?

Well, if you could fire the rockets
without blowing up yourselves, then you

could control the bay.

You could bottle up shipping, zero in on
the main one, depending, of course, on

your range.

Now, if you could do that...

Then you could name your own price for
San Francisco.

Very good.

Very good indeed.

I've been in a few prisons in my time,
but never anything like this. The guards

tell me that no one's ever left here.

Let us say the troublemakers among the
inmates don't leave to discuss what

they've seen.

Well, sir, I'm very impressed with all
this. I'd like to get over on your side.

Unfortunately for you, my side is quite
full.

Take.

Right young man.

But they're obviously troublesome ones.

Make sure the rockets are properly
stationed.

I'll take over now.

Nobody told me nothing about that.

Now look, buddy, I'm just following
orders.

Yeah? How come I've never seen you
before?

Well, you see, it's like this.

So happens... Where the devil is this?
Is this Alcatraz?

This is it.

Well, then Chang is up to his neck in
rockets.

Somehow he's managed to take over this
whole fort.

These aren't the real guards. Where are
they?

I don't know. Why don't you try and find
out? I've got work to do topside.

Right.

I was told you were waiting for me. You
may inform Colonel Morris that I must

see him immediately.

Oh, I'm sorry.

The colonel has been called away to the
Presidio.

In his absence, I am acting commandant,
of course.

May I help you?

It's about the bunker.

I see men being detailed there, but no
one ever returns. Oh, come, come,

That's just barracks rumors you're
repeating.

The men are transferred to the mainland.

That's why you don't see them again.

Then there's the matter of private
court.

Well, what about him?

Well, it's something that he kept
repeating.

Something about a dangerous killer that
he was trailing.

He has quite a selection to choose from
here.

Was there any description?

Yes, I remember his exact words.

Din Chang.

A Chinese named Din Chang.

Chinese, you said.

A Chinese named Din Chang?

Did he also say that Din Chang is an
expert with a knife?

You see, Dr. Gibson, As long as you were
the lovely, dedicated healer of wounds

and stayed in your antiseptic world of
bandages, your safety was assured.

But now...

It's

so difficult to find.

The absence of Major Fry, you're going
to do a few things for me. Yes.

Destroy those rockets and the launcher.

Go on.

And what about the real personnel of
Alcatraz?

The real guard.

Our young Mr. Cort seems to be a bird of
a different feather.

Yes, you're from the police. Or perhaps
even from the government. But it doesn't

really matter, of course, because in
exactly...

28 minutes.

You won't be around to see it, of
course, but your gallant United States

will be resting on the bottom of the
bay.

Come.

You'll enjoy the sight.

You see, it's the fleet returning from
maneuvers, sailing peacefully into a

quiet harbor.

And why not?

The Navy would never fear anything from
its own Fort Alcatraz, eh?

which are so strategically situated,
designed, you might say, to bring any

vessel in the bay under its guns and
rockets and so blast any hull to

What do you hope to accomplish?

You may sink a few ships, but soon
you'll be bombed out or starved out.

Corporal, in addition to asking far too
many questions, our friends here have

become quite troublesome.

I believe we have perfectly good wall on
the parade ground.

Get rid of them.

Yes, sir.

And it's about time we put it to work.

Fall in behind me.

March!

About 26 minutes to go.

I suggest we get along to the bunker.

ever since you first showed up here.

Position prisoners.

I got a change of orders.

I just got the word from Chang that
you're going to take them back to the

infirmary. Tell you what?

You tell him you got to me too late.

Well, I can't do that.

You can do anything I tell you.

Well, I can't take on that
responsibility. Get out of the way.

I got unfinished business here.

Ready? Hold it. Hold it. I got something
here.

That's it.

Now, you stay right there.

I don't know who you are, but you drop
that box and get your hands up.

But... It'll break.

Drop it!

Well, if that's what you want.

I think the real guards are in the old
dungeon.

We don't have much time to use those
rockets on our fleet.

The fleet?

They're crazy.

They may blow up a ship or two, but they
can't go up against the combined guns

of the Army and Navy. I know how we can
warn the Navy.

There's a boat in a cove on the other
side of the island.

It's all hidden, covered over.

They had their own one -way ticket out
of here.

Try and release those guards. We don't
need all the help we can get.

I'm going to try and destroy the rocket
launch.

Stay close.

If anybody sees us, you're my prisoner.

Fleet approaching, sir.

Very well.

Almost in range.

When they get to zero point, start
firing.

I'll be watching from the tower.

Yes, sir.

Lead ship coming into range.

Stand by.

Ready for countdown.

Five, four.

Garrison's liberated and the situation
is well in hand.

Shouldn't you pick them up?

All in good time, Captain.

All in good time.

So you see, the idea was that with the
fleet tied up firing on Alcatraz, they

could land at the Presidio.

rob a rather sizable payroll that had
arrived for the fleet and make off with

without anyone being the wiser.

Why, that's downright thrilling.

But I think we'd better be getting along
to dinner now.

It is getting awfully late.

It's all right, ladies. Ladies, you are
so right.

Shall we, James?

What's the matter? Aren't you enjoying
yourself?

Oh, no, that's not it at all. I'm
actually really enjoying myself.

But you see, I've been thinking about my
other partner, Artemis Gordon.

He was sent to Washington, and I've been
there.

It's boring, a lot of desk work, a lot
of paperwork, and I'm just wondering if

he's enjoying himself.

Speaking of Artie, it reminds me, a
package arrived for him today.

One of those talking records.

Oh, could we hear it?

Mr. West, Mr.

Pike, Mr.

Gordon has been so busy that he hasn't
time to send you this himself, so he

asked me as a favor to send it to you.

He wants you to know that it's just
work, work, work.

I think I'm really ready for dinner
right now
