Original subtitles

Come in, Elena.

I brought them.

Just like you wanted.

Put them on the table.

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.

She's beautiful.

She's wealthy.

And she's strong. Right.

What number is this?

Third girl in ten weeks.

Her killer's added a new refinement.

Handcuffs.

Have you got a key, Peter? I can't get these handcuffs off.

Lana Osborne.

22 years old.

Address in Rosemead. I made the gold money and I went home.

I found this card in the wallet for Susan Osborne, attorney at law. Must be

girl's mother.

Yeah, no way.

Well, she's in a meeting. I couldn't get a hold of her.

I sent her out with the police and it was urgent. The secretary said she

care if I was from the White House. She was behind closed doors.

That's beautiful.

This key won't break the cuffs, Peter. We'll get him off at the morgue.

So much for a daughter's life.

She's not a daughter anymore, Peter.

Murderer of a human being of that dignity, that title.

All she is is a victim.

Wait, wait. What is that?

I'll have time and call it a death on your desk in two hours, Captain. But

as you're going to land on the boardwalk of the hotel on it, death by

strangulation. Make sure these cunts get to my desk, too.

Yeah, okay.

That special kind of jade.

The only other person I've ever seen wear that is my father.

She was a student in my gung -fu club.

I have not seen her for many months but something is wrong.

I... I must feel her aura.

Okay, sure.

Was she drugged? Um, no trace of any toxins in her blood.

Yet.

She was under the influence of something or someone.

I'll bet.

You'll have the Lawrence file on my desk by 3 o 'clock, Marty, okay?

Jill, let Jackson Hooper call. Tell him the court date's been changed to the

14th. 3 o 'clock, Marty. I only have two hours to go over the deposition before

the meeting.

You must be Detective Kane. Come with me, please.

Susan Osborne.

No, I haven't read the new draft of the contract, but I will by 6 o 'clock

tonight.

That'll be fine.

Jill, hold my call.

Mrs. Osborne.

I identified her body half an hour ago.

Nice young man at the morgue.

I said it must be a very difficult job. He said you get used to it.

The grief must be the same for you.

Mrs. Osborne, I've got to ask you a few questions about your daughter.

Was she seeing anyone?

Did she have a boyfriend?

She was engaged to be married next month.

She broke it off.

Suddenly.

She stopped seeing all her friends.

Stayed up in her room all day.

She kept it locked.

We weren't allowed in.

But I broke in once.

Severed doll head.

Candles and satanic cast.

And the walls painted black.

And she'd go out every night.

Where would she go?

Clubs.

All in black.

Peel makeup.

One particular club.

Abaddon.

Which one?

The magic club.

She said she liked the rush of it.

That black magic was the fabric that held our lives together.

There was someone.

Someone at the club. She was obsessed with.

Who?

The destroyer.

I don't know.

She wouldn't have confided in me.

I'd be the last one she'd talk to.

I've lost her. I've lost my baby.

So busy.

Let's take a deck of cards.

This is the way they come right out of the package. You have red and black and

red and black.

The funny thing happens to give them a mix. I'll show you what I mean.

You just cut them someplace near the center, like so,

and give them a very honest mix.

Wouldn't you say that's honest?

Uh -huh.

All right.

Let's see what happens.

You have red and black all the way through the deck.

Captain, I didn't know you could do card magic.

The things you do not know about me, Blake, would fill the encyclopedia

Britannica. Do another trick.

I won't do a trick, but I'll show you a little something about cards, okay? And

we'll just work with four cards. We'll just take at random whatever happens to

be on top of the deck, okay?

We'll just work with those four cards.

This isn't a magic trick. It's a lesson in magic. If I take a card like that,

and I put it face down onto the table, like so,

and let's use the other red card for this, okay?

Face down onto the table.

Now, you notice I didn't name the cards when they went down. You never tell

anybody ahead of time what you're going to do.

Which one is the ace of hearts? Just point.

Just you, sir.

You sure, or are you just guessing?

I'm sure.

You've got to watch more carefully. The ace of hearts is over here with the ace

of diamonds. This is the ace of clubs.

That's the ace of spades.

Sarge, I told you, you don't touch the cards. Okay, go ahead. All right.

Sarge, what's on?

That's it.

Now, if you'd given me back a Rolex, that would have been a trick. Well,

celebrating a miracle, kid.

Hey, Pete, could you make Broderick disappear?

I've been trying to do that for 15 years.

Listen, guys, the show is over. I've got to talk to you, okay?

I haven't seen you do that stuff since I was 15.

Yeah, well, I'm a little bit rusty.

Those are the cuffs that Nick cut off the girl?

Yeah.

They couldn't get them off because they're magician's cuffs. You have to

where to press.

To break them open.

What'd you find out?

The magic club.

She'd been going there every night.

Peter, magicians are a closed society. If we go in there as cops, we're not

going to find out anything.

Well, that's the most exclusive club in the city. You can't get in there unless

you're a magician's guest.

Well, I bet you could if you were one of the founding members.

Five more minutes to showtime, ladies and gentlemen, and Diablo the Deceiver.

Thank you very much.

I'm Nick Fargo, and you've probably noticed I have an English accent.

People tell me I sound like Robin Leach, you know, like this should be a

compliment.

Well, while the Outlaw the Deceiver prepares, let's do a little magic

You just use one red pink achieve.

What are you doing here? The same thing that you are.

You take that red handkerchief, you push that inside the top of your fist, and

that, of course, starts to push out the yellow one that you put there before.

Am I moving way too quickly?

So it's in and out. The other thing never, ever... ever do this, because if

do that, they realize there are two handkerchiefs. If that happens, act very

surprised. Put it back inside.

Make sure you push down the red end first. That way, when you pull out the

yellow handkerchief, you get a fantastic round of applause, but you have to walk

around like this. So I found a way around that. I do that. That one goes

there to there.

Thank you.

Thank you very much. Yes, sir.

Thank you. Well, now the Magic Club is proud. to present our main attraction.

Hold on to your hearts, ladies.

Diablo the Deceiver!

Your minds are my property.

They are books I can open.

Secrets I can read.

I pass my hand across your souls and I feel anger, joy, sorrow, ecstasy.

The young man there.

Very interesting mind.

Open yet clouded.

Violent. Yet there's small pieces of tranquility.

You have seen much suffering. Is that right?

Sure. I see a monastery.

No, a temple.

I see the number 15.

It was destroyed 15 years ago. You were torn from the arms of a loved one, a

father. Is that right?

Yes.

And now, rank your feelings around your daily life. From a monk to a cop, you're

here investigating a crime.

That's right.

Well, I'd better move on to something more harmonious before I start

to my outstanding parking ticket.

Good luck finding your criminal detective.

I seek a mind that soars there.

The young lady, please stand up.

Your initials are D .F.

Devin Saunders. Come up on stage.

That is what every magician extends to his victims.

Will you trust me?

Don't you know what I'm going to say?

What's in your mind, yes, but not what's in your heart.

That's because only you can unlock for me.

I'm not that easily seduced.

Oh, yes.

You are.

The casket of death.

But your inner light will transcend it.

If you will believe there is a hell I can walk you through.

I believe anything you tell me.

Diablo the Deceiver, ladies and gentlemen!

We're going to be lined up for weeks after tonight.

Good show, Nick. Well, thank you. I wanted to talk to you about the show.

Paul Blaisdell.

Excuse me.

I'll take care of that for you right away, okay?

Paul Blaisdell.

Well, you're still alive.

Very.

Yeah, well, I'd check my pulse some more.

Peter, uh, Harry McCormick. Thank you. Director Peter Kane.

Harry owns the club. He's a very good magician in his own right. Are you still

making those wives disappear, Harry? They may call him, and he'd disappear.

What do you think of Diablo?

Isn't he sensational?

Mm -hmm.

Tell us about him.

He's smoke. He's fire.

He's an illusion.

Where's he from?

The crypt of hell.

This one's like...

Professional interest.

Is he a magician or a police captain?

I'm here because we're looking for a murderer.

Three wealthy young women have been killed in the past few weeks. They all

to this club several times.

We're packed every night.

Lots of young people.

And we're very expensive.

Well, it's just a fishing expedition, Harry. It's just that this club is the

place, the thread that holds these three victims together.

I'll stake my badge that they were on stage with Diablo.

He's a suspect?

Did you see the way he looked at that young woman?

But he looks at all young women that way. That's part of the act.

What do you really know about him, Aaron?

Well, he... He is mysterious.

I mean, he has no home number that we know of, no phone we can call.

He contacts us when he's in town. He comes by, does his gig for a few weeks,

then he leaves.

Do you recognize this girl? You've seen her here before? Lana Osborne?

Yeah.

Yes, I remember.

Diablo was obsessed about this particular young woman.

This scares the hell out of you, doesn't it?

No one's allowed in here yet. Not for another 20 minutes.

I need time to set up.

You are a fine magician.

Would you know the difference if I wasn't?

Yes.

Then you're also a magician.

Your mind is very complex.

Vivid colors, textures, fascinating emotions of war.

You deal in white magic.

Soft, pliable, vulnerable to manipulation.

And yet, black magic is too powerful to control.

Unless you can hold a tornado in your hands, ride a hurricane into the fires,

control the demons that exist in all of us.

Only Satan's child could do that.

That's an interesting thought.

If such a creature existed, perhaps he's been around since the beginning of

time, having many identities.

He killed Abel. He was Vlad the Impaler, Genghis Khan, Jack the Ripper.

One malevolent spirit inhabiting many bodies, discarding each one as their

became complete.

Could such a creature exist?

A neat trick.

Eh, context.

You didn't answer my question.

A demon.

exists within all of us.

The trick is not to allow him to possess you.

Of course not.

You are Cain.

You will cease your activities here.

Your magic will destroy my magic?

Demon against saint?

I am not a saint.

Certainly an evangelist.

Then your most precious possession is your soul.

That's who will struggle for it.

We are locked in a mortal combat.

If I win, your soul is mine.

Welcome to the dungeon room, ladies and gentlemen.

Watch closely as the blackjack moves freely among the other cards in the

Ask her to play one of your favorites.

Larissa, do you know the Maple Leaf Rag?

I thought you were going to faint in that stage.

Did you know what was happening to you?

It was like living a nightmare.

It was great.

What was he saying to you when he was whispering to you?

What's it to you? Oh, right.

You're the cop.

Oh, he's incredible.

Yeah, well, that's the effect that he wants to have on you.

I'm his slave.

No.

No, don't say that.

What's your problem?

Perhaps you'd like it if I was your slave.

Did whatever you wanted, anything you wanted.

That's impacting not you.

Good luck fighting crime, detective.

Are you going to be here tomorrow night?

Yes, and the night after that.

Listen, Devin, I don't really have any proof to back this up, but I believe

Diablo is very dangerous.

I don't want you to see him anymore.

When I need a cop to direct my life, he'll be the first person I call.

Diablo is right. You are surrounded by rancorous feelings.

However do you deal with them.

Some guys just have a way with women.

It would not have mattered what you said to her.

She is of the power of Diablo.

As was Elana.

She was a student of mine.

I must...

Speak to her.

No. She only listens to magicians.

Well, then.

That is what I must become.

You need hard evidence.

Meet me here tomorrow.

I know I shouldn't be here, but let me stay?

For tonight?

Please?

Of course.

I can't let you leave now.

I'll make it worth your while.

Please don't send me back home to the cold.

Please stay back, would you please? Stay behind the line. Thank you.

Can't answer any questions, I'm sorry.

The mother of the last girl asked me if it's ever got to me. I told her you'd

get used to it.

Today it has got to me. Yeah, me too.

Magician's handcuffs? That's right.

It's Diablo, he's taunting us.

This girl doesn't fit the M .O. That's right.

These clothes, look at his skin.

Paul, this girl's been living in the streets.

Ariel? Ariel!

Ariel?

Ariel, wait!

I've known them all, Mr. King.

Well, no, not all the greats. Harry Blackstone, Marlowe, Dr. Holland,

Pendragon, Houdini.

If I haven't heard of you, you aren't one of the greats. A

demonstration?

Perhaps.

Displacement of air. Clever, but...

Write your name on the face of the card

Now

a wallet in your pocket Inside you

will find an envelope sealed with last

Open it.

Queen of Diamonds.

Yeah. Of course, that would be nothing if your name were not

imprinted on the face in your own hand.

Dynamite. Why haven't I heard of you, Kane? What circuit have you been

The Shaolin circuit.

We've got a cancellation in the main room tonight.

The great Santini's been alternating with Diablo, the deceiver.

But his tubs got sick.

Smog. Do you know how to levitate?

That always goes over big.

It's my specialty.

Take a look at this.

Diablo's European tour.

Paris.

Took a wealthy young girl from the banks of the Seine two days after his final

performance.

Hard evidence, Peter, not circumstantial. Hey, what do you want, a

confession? That would be nice.

All right, here we go.

Bank statements from all three victims.

You see that?

Two of the victims withdrew large sums of cash the day before they died.

There, Alana Osborne took $50 ,000 in jewels from her safe deposit box two

ago. Where are they? Not on her body, not in her home. Yeah, but it still

doesn't put them in Diablo's pocket.

Devin Saunders withdrew $25 ,000 from her account this afternoon. My father

right. She is already under his spell.

I'm going to go find Ariel. I'll meet you back here.

Why are you running from me?

I thought we were friends.

I ain't got no real friends.

Well, I'm your friend. That's not true. I'm your friend. My father's your

friend. You're like Robin Hood to the homeless. You steal a loaf of bread,

someone gets enough for a meal. Now, what is the real truth here?

I'm scared, Peter.

Because you knew the girl that they fished out of the lake today.

Yeah. Rosie.

Rodeo Rosie, we called her.

Like the Sesame Street character, you know?

Because her hair was red.

She was homeless.

Uh -huh. Where was she sleeping?

In the park most nights.

At the shelter on the weekends.

Until she found a place.

A place? What place?

You know, a place. That's what we call it when we find a roof.

One no one knows that you're under.

The roof of the magic club.

How did you know that?

How did she get in?

She found a secret way to get in.

And that's how the other girls got in.

What other girl?

Can you show me the way to this club area?

No, no, no.

I'm not going there.

It's not my place.

Okay. All right, now listen.

Nothing is going to happen to you. I want you to take me to this club right

Come on.

Okay.

You wait till they see this guy. He's incredible.

He's got to give Diablo a run for his money.

Nick Fargo.

How many of you out there think of a magician?

The kind of guy who walks out on stage, reaches inside his pocket, pulls out a

handkerchief, and produces a beautiful white dove.

anything like that at all. It's not real.

No. But now, the Magic Club is privileged to introduce, from

the Orient, making his debut in this city, Kwai Chang Kane!

And yet...

It is real.

I need a volunteer.

Devon, come with me.

Now, you must trust me.

I cannot talk to you. You are the evil one.

You are only saying that because Diablo has impressed it on your mind.

With this power, fight him.

You can.

If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

Why such pain, ladies and gentlemen?

You go downstairs

and you're going to come to an iron door.

Go through there.

Be careful, Peter.

I didn't see supports or wires.

There were no wires.

Then how'd you levitate that girl?

She... rose.

You want me to believe that you really levitated her?

I want you to believe in the power of white magic.

Your little tricks will not be enough for you this time.

In the book of Revelations, Michael and his angels.

Needed the dragon's tail to sweep away half the stars for safe to fall.

What will you bring into battle, priest?

Whatever is required to defeat you.

No, you'll bring whatever is necessary to save your soul.

Yeah, 101st, Broderick here.

Now, Peter hasn't been in all afternoon, Captain.

No, he hasn't reported in yet.

Yeah, I think he went looking for that street waif, um, Ariel.

Yes, sir.

Waif?

Have you brought the money?

Yes.

This will be the night we'll spend together.

You'll be my Sindel.

Come.

Let me take you to your chariot, drawn by a break of life.

No. I won't do this. I won't succumb to your will.

Those are not your words.

They are mine.

Let...

You will obey the command of my voice.

Yes. If Cain does not do everything I say, you will plunge this knife into

heart.

She'll do it, Cain.

In an instant.

Unless you accept my challenge.

One magician against another.

I accept.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. I don't care how many donuts you

got in your pocket. This isn't a bust, all right? You know who I am?

Yeah, Blaisdell.

Peter. Foster father the captain?

That's right. I need to know where Peter is.

Ariel, where is he?

Look, he's chasing a murderer. His life could be in danger. Come on, he's your

friend. Peter's your friend.

Tell me where he is.

I can take you to where I left him.

The magician's hand is put into the trunk.

Swords are thrust to the skin of the trunk.

The magician has only seconds to escape.

before the swords of death can pierce his heart.

I am the only magician alive who can attempt this.

But Kwai Chang Kane may prove me wrong.

No tricks there.

No way out.

It'll take you into the club. Okay, good girl.

Take the night away from her.

You

want

my soul?

Come and get me.

I've been trying to think of a way to thank a man who saves your life.

And all I can come up with is thank you.

Even that is unnecessary.

Your father is far more mesmerizing than Diablo ever was.

And I don't need to be hypnotized to think so.

If you could just get her to think that way about me.

Can't you read my mind?

Observe. I'd play him with a full deck.

I didn't know you could do that. The things you do not know about me. Could

the Encyclopedia Britannica, I know. Yeah.

What's that?

Mean of heart.

Very significant car.

Go and kiss her back.

I think I will.

You know that illusion you were telling me about? Making Chicago disappear?

Oh yeah, no problem.
