Remember, he is not the easy target, you
may think.

Slightest hesitation and it will be you
that is dead.

No disrespect intended, but coming back
here is... Stupid.

I was thinking more in the line of
suicidal.

We could be anywhere now.

Pittsburgh would be safer and more
profitable.

This is the city of my choice. It's my
town, and I want it back.

We have a problem here.

He is not my problem. He is my purpose.

He's more aggravation than we need.

You will leave this temple and you will
never

return.

still in Chinatown.

I want him found and brought to me.

You murdered the priests.

is truly worth living or dying for.

Power.

That comes from success.

From money.

I already have all that. Exactly. So
what are we doing here? For the one

that can never be bought.

Self -respect.

So we're here.

What do we do now?

The grandson of Kwai Chang Kane walks
out of the past.

But I want to fight.

So did your great -grandfather when he
was your age.

He teaches his son wisdom at a Shaolin
temple.

An evil force destroyed that temple.
Father and son each believed the other

perished. Fifteen years later, they were
reunited.

Now Kane faced new challenges.

And his son grew up.

Look, I'm not my father. I don't do kung
fu. I'm a cop. That's who I am. That's

what I do.

I am King.

I will help you.

Look, I know I said I'd be there, but
please don't send me on this liquor

stakeout. Some excuse, Peter.

Maybe I'll just get myself a guitar and
a dog.

The classic form of attack must include
these four weapons.

The first is the staff, a symbol of
strength yet flexibility.

The

second

is the staff divided into three
sections.

symbolizing the body, mind and spirit.

The butterfly knives represent the
penetration of the flesh, the cutting

all negativity.

The steel whip is like water.

It flows and wraps itself around your
enemy, entwines him, goes soft with a

touch, grips, then skips.

Proper defense is not to treat these
separately.

But as one weapon, they must work
together.

They must be defeated together.

How long will it take to master these?

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Are you able to pre -think one expensive
car?

Look, Dad,

I really can't talk to you right now.
I've got to go through these files,

out who wants to kill me.

It'll take me about a week.

Somehow I seem to have made a few
enemies.

You said he would. I never believed you.

This is the son, the giver of all life.

Children, the attention.

Show respect for your elders.

All right.

Something more exciting.

Tai Chi.

Last week I met a lady, young, about 60.

I taught her tai chi, and she taught me
tango. Let's put them together.

Now, this is tai chi.

Now, this is tango.

The tai

chi tango, eh?

Could be the newest dance fad.

You're going to have to teach that to me
sometime.

Nice to know you're so sprightly, old
man.

Last time I saw you, you got in trouble
for playing with matches.

So you have come back an act of great
courage or great folly?

I'm not sure which myself.

Let's go.

And no surprising moves this time, okay?

Mr. Wong here will have no hesitation
shooting these children.

Serious character flaw.

Where are you taking my uncle?

Need not concern you.

Just let Kwai Chang Kae know that we
have him.

And tell him that Mr. Tan says, The
finest general first enters the mind

of the enemy.

supposed to mean.

Ciao, Betty.

You saw this man and you didn't
apprehend him? He was only a messenger.

There is meaning here.

the chest.

It is pointing east.

They are waiting for me.

Waiting?

Where?

A place of shadows facing to the east.

A place heavily guarded where there is
great danger.

They've taken my uncle!

Tan's men. They came back and took him
away.

When did this happen?

A few minutes ago. I ran all the way
here. Did you call the police?

The police cannot help us in this
matter.

They did not say anything about ransom.

They will not.

Who took him, shall we?

Who took the ancient?

Chan. The guy who dragged me from the
community meeting the day I first met

And the guy with the ponytail.

Jack Wong, do not speak of this to
anyone.

Your uncle will be safe.

I promise.

You will rescue him?

Yes.

You're using ancient as bait.

Yes.

To lure you somewhere.

It is a traditional tactic.

Tan has borrowed his battle plan from
the classic writings of Sun

Tzu.

It is a challenge.

You do all this for a man you despise.

I know what I'm doing.

Ah, yes?

But does your boss...

When the unknowing goat enters the
tiger's lair, it is only the

foolish lamb that follows.

Would you shut up?

The old man is perceptive.

You really believe he's saying anything
I don't know, Mr. Chan?

Okay, that's right. You know everything.

Do you think I'm oblivious to your...
Ambitions?

The old man is scared.

He's just talking to hear himself talk.

You wait for him.

He will not come.

Of course he will.

Out of respect and love for you.

He knows.

I'm always prepared for death.

But not a death he can prevent.

That would be a betrayal of unspoken
trust.

Of tradition.

Oh, tradition.

You knew about that?

Of course.

You were at the temple. You taught the
students.

But you did not learn.

It is the journey that is to be exalted.

not the price at its end.

Only one who has turned his back on the
Tao could forget this

easy lesson.

Guai Cheng Hain will humble himself
before me.

Nature is kind, is it not, Tan?

It does not see the difference between a
man...

In a centipede.

Lucky for you.

Let him talk.

Let him watch!

You will see your priest destroyed.

Very slowly.

In the Shaolin tradition.

Oh, come on. We're wasting time here.

Preparation must precede action.

Well, give me a hint. What are you
doing? I mean, the only preparation I

is putting bullets in my gun.

We may need to coat our throats and
mouths.

Tan will use the ancient techniques of
air, water, earth,

and fire as weapons.

We must use ancient means to blunt them.

Well, that's great. We'll just go into
battle under the teeth using herbs and

potions.

Except the only problem is we don't know
where this battle's going to take

place.

Maybe I can help you there.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger, huh? A
lot of nerve walking in here.

You know, if this were up to me, we
wouldn't be playing Dungeons and

Tan wants to operate in this city again,
there's a price to pay.

We make you an offer you can't refuse,
or the cops.

Anyone balk, then we start shooting at
each other.

See who's around when the smoke clears.

Simple.

No. Not the way you and my boss play the
game.

That's your way.

When the time comes, we'll play the game
my way.

Hey! You don't think you're walking out
of here, do you?

Oh, that's up to him.

And I think I know what the answer's
gonna be.

You are free to leave.

We're coming after you, Chan.

You got that?

And the ones who'll be left standing are
the good guys.

Sometimes it's hard to tell who the good
guys are.

It's all in your point of view.

We got an address?

This is the ancients being held?

This is in the Chinese script. I can't
read this.

I'm going to call the police, Phil.

You don't have a phone.

There was a paper on the street.

Remember the hotel?

No time for police.

We must do this alone.

You and me.

Together.

Any other method.

And the ancient will die.

All right.

Let's go to war.

I know trouble coming when I see it.

Well, wait till you hear this trouble.
The ancient's been kidnapped.

I don't know the location, but my father
does.

I want you standing by. When I can call
you for backup, I will. I don't believe

I'm hearing this. If there's a
kidnapping, you call it in. You haven't

all. Tan and Chan did the kidnapping.

They're back in town.

They just have one obstacle in their
way, my father and me.

That hit last night in the car with me
in it, that was Tan's homecoming prison.

So I'm supposed to wait for a call you
may or may not be able to make from a

location where you and your father are
taking on Tan's private army? That

captures the spirit. Can't let you do
it. Can't let you stop me. Chief!

Just back me up on this.

Or you can call somebody to arrest me
right now before I leave the building.

You

sure

this is the place?

Yes.

Well, how are we supposed to get in
here?

I got a rope and a set of bolt cutters
in the car.

Leave your pistol outside.

Are you nuts?

We'll do it the Shaolin way, or you
yourself will remain outside.

Welcome, quite shame, eh?

Leaving your gun outside?

Good. I'm leaving it there, but I know
I'm going to need it later.

I just know it.

Good for you.

Few men have the courage.

To greet the destiny with such splendor.
My

destiny is in my control, old man, as is
Cain's, as is yours.

Death is an empty threat.

What I have in mind for Cain is far
worse than mere death.

Sure we're going the right way?

Sun Tzu.

teaches the warrior to take the higher
ground.

Besides, enlightenment is not found in
falling, but in

rising.

Now then, let's go up.

No.

Pan does not seek enlightenment.

He lusts only for victory and conquest.

He will choose his battlefield according
to the emptiness of his soul.

Come on.

Then let's go down.

Let's go.

Peter, wait, wait, Peter. Wait, there's
nothing here.

Peter, slowly.

What for?

What is with the rock slide?

The earth.

One of the four ancient elements.

Oh, Jesus, let me see this.

We got to tie this off.

There's got to be some in your bag.

Do not be concerned.

You can lose a lot of blood.

I am not hurt.

Have you been like this all night?

Yes.

Doesn't it hurt you sitting like that?

It did at one time.

When I was seven, like yourself.

But no more.

Because you've gotten used to it?

Or because it doesn't hurt anymore?

I do not know.

But the result is the same.

But we've got to tie this off. It's
something. I mean... To tie off the

to abandon the light.

It must heal itself.

I don't believe it.

You're right.

Very impressive trick.

Not a trick.

at cross purposes.

Let me put a couple of bullets and canes
back and get this thing over with. No.

First I break his spirit.

North Corridor.

Ready? We're ready.

You know, somebody's going to be pretty
waxed about the mess we're leaving.

What? What's so funny?

You sound exactly.

There's a chance we might die in this
maze.

A possibility.

Maybe it's a good time for me to ask you
a few questions about Mom.

You know, like where you met and...
Kane!

You can't go back. What was that?

Into the trap.

Oh, great.

I want maximum pressure, maximum
temperature.

Maximum this, maximum that.

The problem is your attitude, Penn.

Would you still have so much to say with
your throat cut?

Keep cool, Jack.

We've got plenty of time.

We'd just kill him.

Too easy.

Too fast.

And too soon.

But go ahead.

Use your knife.

to enjoy your work so much.

You never understood.

I am eternal.

Life is the journey.

I understand, old man.

We're watching one of life's journeys.

A final one.

Oh, no, no, no.

Heights.

Huh.

There's something in these pipes.

Water.

The second element.

What are you doing?

It will protect your eyes.

Protect my eyes from what?

I'm not looking down.

That is good.

Still not looking down.

That is still good.

Oh, yeah, never better.

Oh, man, that stuff worked.

My strength is totally gone.

That's it.

That was its purpose.

Please, why not? It's a magic potion.

You gave me some light just once before.

has been baited.

I was missing her.

And you came to my room?

Yes.

I do remember.

You helped me.

You understood.

Even though I could always talk to you.

I love you for that.

Just for being there.

It is.

At night, I needed you.

Perhaps even more than you needed me.

Captain Kane, help me.

The Ancient.

How can someone kill you with air?

No. Close.

Pour your gas.

Yeah.

Under your tongue.

It will help keep the poison out.

Shall we go out the way we came in?

The rat always enters the trap with
ease.

Leaving is sometimes more difficult.

Especially if the rat wants to keep the
cheese.

It is the principle.

Keep moving.

You sure this is the way out?

If you have any other idea, I would be
interested to hear it.

I say we take him out.

Peter!

He is hurt.

You tried to kill the agent.

Yeah.

You have saved his life.

I don't get this.

If Tan wanted the ancient dead, why
didn't he kill him before?

Before?

He was not in my care. Now I am
responsible for his life.

Tan believes that if he kills the
ancient, then I will feel powerless and

vulnerable.

He tries to strip your father of honor?

After he kills the ancient, he will kill
you.

That is his plan.

So that's why he let us find the
Ancient.

He's setting you up.

Yes.

The senses of a warrior are not truly
tested until he is

deprived of them.

find you.

No, do not come to me. Go forward. Seek
the light and you will find a gate.

Will you not stay in here?

My journey is not finished.

I must meet with Dad.

Be together.

Peter!

The very sacred thing he destroyed, he
builds for his own use.

This temple is the proper place for a
confrontation.

Precisely.

Relax, old man.

You may kill them now!

Damn!

If they die.

Who will be here to witness your skill?

The struggle is between you and me.

No one else.

Take them away!

Remember what I said?

You just never know who the good guys
are.

Oh, I know, Chan.

They're always the guys with the best
hat.

Oh, nice work.

You have done all that was required of
you.

Ten has failed to kill us.

Now, honor your father.

Allow the challenge to be met.

Let them watch their hero die.

Perhaps that will be all. The more
sweet.

Yes.

you would respect the tradition of
conflict.

Weaking an opponent before meeting him
face to face?

Seek every advantage.

Every advantage is fair and just.

For several years, I was the honored
pupil at the temple. You interfered,

opposed me.

You violated the teachings of the
masters.

Those old men, what?

do they know?

They know the way.

You were part of them as they were of
you.

That is why I banished you from the
temple. You will

a weakness of anger.

Ah, not anger.

Truth.

You have abandoned the dark and you have
dishonored the devil.

Then you will die at the hands of a
phantom.

Your dad's gonna die.

Even in death.

You have offended the Tao.

There will be no continuance for you.

You intended to kill him.

But you said there was always another
alternative.

His evil was beyond redemption.

There was...

Oh, is that what it smelled?

Arabian jasmine.

You like it?

Yeah, I love it.

It is from this flower.

I made perfume for her.

Your mother.

You see, is that why I like it so much?

One never forgets the scent of one's
mother.

I wish I knew more.

You will.

I will tell you.

It won't bother you?

I mean, I don't want to dig up any
unpleasant memory.

My thoughts of her will become your
memories.

She will live in your heart as she has
in mine.

I'd like that.

You know, Pop, what do you think she'd
think about us finding each other after

all this time?

She would be very happy.

Except for one thing.

What?

She would not like you owning me.
