I must leave.

My path, which seemed so clear, has
become obscure.

Then you must find your path.

Goodbye, my son.

Goodbye, father.

I'm frightened, Father.

Where are you?

Where are you?

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 Cain 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.

Eggs, Florentine, English sausages,
bacon. It is a feast.

I'm in a hurry.

You sure I can't distract you?

Look, if Donnie Double D called, call
him to meet me at the harbor front at

noon.

What are you running away from so fast,
Peter?

I can't get that nightmare out of my
mind.

You were in it.

Oh, was I naked?

No, you were dying.

My father was in the two, trapped and
helpless.

I was fighting shadows.

Look. It is more than a nightmare.

I feel haunted, like I'm the one that's
trapped inside this spider web and can't

get out.

Like I'm suffocating, Kelly.

I can't explain it to you.

Yeah, sure.

I'm just the lover and the chef.

Now, you wait until you get to the
precinct. You share your fears with your

friends, like Kermit and Strenlick. And
maybe they can even tell you why your

father never came back.

Make me a Chandler tonight.

How did I say that?

One, two.

So when are you going to sweep me into
your arms and carry me off into the

sunset? How's Tuesday?

Perfect.

My day off.

Your girlfriend won't object?

Your boyfriend won't object?

Bye,

Sally. Bye.

Captain wants to see you, Pete. Found
another victim alleyway last night. He's

got the press all over him.

Kermit time.

Found a link between the murders. Come
into my spider web.

Why did you say that?

Spider web's where I work all day.

Tangled webs of information. Sometimes
you can pick out a thread.

Like Omi, I'd be forced to break your
fingers.

Sorry,

Kermit.

Worked for that little deli right across
the street.

Mandy Larson, cocktail waitress at
Chandler's.

Jackie Burton, a cop.

I know her.

She works at the 51st Precinct. We went
out for a drink last week.

That's the link, my friend.

What is?

You are.

You knew all three victims.

Oh, no coincidence.

I might have thought the same thing, but
here is last night's personal tragedy.

Adela Rodriguez.

Didn't she clean your apartment?

I got four dead girls in four weeks. I
don't want another one next week.

They're not all blonde and beautiful.

They don't all work in the same
profession.

They didn't know each other. I'm looking
for a serial killer who doesn't leave a

mark on the body. Nick Elder's going
crazy. I don't even know how these girls

are being killed.

There's no link.

Kermit's working on a link.

I mean, better come up with something
damn fast.

Peter, look.

Get out on the street, will you please?

Find out what the hell's going on out
there. Somebody must have seen

They must know something.

It's like I'm fighting a shadow.

Yeah, exactly.

But I don't like being in the dark. I
didn't like it when I was five years

and I don't like it now.

You know, my old man was a ship's cabin.

By the time I was 11, I'd sailed into
every major port in the world.

Now look at me.

I'm a pack rat, scurrying around the
streets collecting crumbs for you guys.

One of these days, I'm going to have a
boat.

And when I sail out of here, I ain't
even going to wave goodbye.

Well, before that happens, I need some
information on a killer.

Yeah, enough about me. Let's talk
murder.

Okay.

The word is, he's a phantom. When the
smoke clears, another girl's dead.

Wait a second, what?

Smoke, real smoke?

Yeah, that's what I hear.

Is this your squeal?

He's killed a couple people I know.

He's coming after me.

I need something, Donnie.

Top of my list, Pete.

Priority one, my ear is to the ground.

You heard anything about my father?

Now nothing Yeah, no big deal.

Hey Pete, I'm really sorry man

It is not wise to mess with money.

Hi, lover.

Sorry I'm late. White wine, please.

Sure.

Officer

needs assistance

in the alleyway south end of Magnolia.

How long have you been there?

About an hour.

I wish I could get inside your head.

You wouldn't want to be in there.

I know who our serial killer is.

Who?

The ancient would call him the devil.

Chiru.

A shadow assassin. A man who can kill
you with his thoughts.

No one like that exists.

No more 11 o 'clock news for you.

You scared me.

Sorry.

Nice move.

Kill enough of Peter's friends and his
father will come back.

Okay, talk.

Another dead girl. Another statistic.

Not even an ID on this one.

Her name's Sally.

Went to the dry cleaner down the street
from me.

You knew her?

Yeah.

I knew them all.

All the victims.

Huh?

Dad?

Dad?

Would you like some tea?

Whoa.

What is that? 100 proof. Oh, great.

Secret spice family recipe.

Don't put a candle in a teapot.

You are very trouble.

By these murders.

Look, everyone I touch, no matter how
casually, is a potential victim. I'm

worried for the cops that I work with,
for Paul.

I shouldn't even be talking to you.

Peter, I'm all beyond a wick of hatred.

No, not if it's a Chiru master who's
reaching in to grab your heart and

his hand.

I don't even know why I'm talking to you
about this.

I guess because I'd be talking to my
father about it if he was here.

He is here.

I know the shadow assassin is here.

Now, what do I do about it?

I met your father.

Your father is here.

I think I got it cracked.

What, the method of murder?

Uh, no. No, that's driving me crazy. The
reason why women aren't attractive to

me. You're a coroner, Nick.

It's my clothes. I've got to get chic,
cool, sophisticated.

Harris tweed, rock silk shirt, cravat
maybe. What do you think? Even in a tux,

they're still going to know what you do
for a living.

Could any of these women have been
killed like the others?

Even in a tux?

Which others?

Lee High, Kira Blakemore from last year.

What do you mean by virtually
untraceable poisons? No, the toxicity

white corpuscles isn't high enough.

You're not saying that this phantom
guy... What did you call him before?

Shadow assassin.

Oh, he's back.

That's a theory until I find out the
method of murder.

It's like their heart rates were speeded
up at an incredible rate. Like the

heart was fed a sudden, massive dose of
adrenaline.

Like... It's like they were frightened
to death.

What makes you think your shadow
assassin has returned?

Paul.

All the victims knew me.

They're all dead.

I'll be next.

Then you.

Then the ancient.

And then he'll look for my father until
he finds him.

Okay, suppose you're right. Suppose your
theory is right. What is his motive?

He came to kill the author, Everett
Cooper.

He failed. My father embarrassed him
with our help.

Revenge on us all, pure and simple.

Well, that's not so pure and simple.
Revenge is not so pure and it's not so

simple.

A man reaches out for a prize just
because he wants to reach out, already

it. But if it's something he wants, then
his hand can slip. And if it's

something he needs, something he really
needs, it's the brass ring. Then he can

fall on his face trying to get it
because he cares too much.

Now, if that's the tea room master's
motive, then someplace along the line

going to make a misstep. And when he
does...

We could nail him.

That sounds like something my father
would say.

But not your foster father.

Paul, I didn't mean... Oh, no, it's all
right. Listen, just because I don't

practice, doesn't mean I don't
understand it.

No, he'll pull through.

He's bad.

I've never seen you get emotional about
anything,

Kermit.

Yeah, well, you don't know me very well.
Let's keep it that way.

First day I met you at the orphanage,
you told me about the lecture you were

going to give.

Police work. Was I interested?

I said, no, who cares? Get out of here.

You count them up.

The great moments in your life.

See if you can get the double figures by
the end of it.

That was one of them.

That lecture.

It changed my life.

about my father and how much it meant to
have him back in my life. I guess I

just forgot to say how much it means to
me

to have my foster father still in my
life.

I love you, dear.

I must ask another.

You don't think I know that?

Come here. Come here. Give your old
surrogate dad a hug, will you?

And don't pull out the IP.

You okay?

Listen, Chief, I'm, uh... I was out of
line before. I'm sorry.

Now we're all on a short fuse.

So no ID? You didn't see who attacked
him?

Smoke and shadows.

This is crazy.

I don't know what the hell's going on.

I do.

Blaisdell be all right?

Hey, old mercenaries don't die. They
just get meaner.

Will you be all right, my son?

Yeah, no sweat.

How's my emotional state since you left?
Well, that's debatable.

I hope I am not responsible for any of
your pain.

You mind telling me where you've been
for the last six months?

I've been walking, learning.

What can I say?

What, now you're back?

Yeah, I'm back because the Chibu Master
has returned.

Otherwise you wouldn't have come back?

Perhaps not so soon.

You could, I think, defeat the Shadow
Assassin, but not

two of them.

Two? Yes.

When a Chiru protege fails, his master
always accompanies him on the

next mission to ensure success.

So who do we protect this time?

The author, Everett Cooper.

Do you know where he may be found?

Yes, at a comedy club over in Magnolia.

He's doing a stand -up routine.

I guess writing the sequel to Shadow
Assassin might have unnerved him.

Ah.

You are Victor.

Yes.

I've been having nightmares.

I'm not responsible for these dreams.

No, but you're in them.

Trapped, fighting for your life.

Unable to rescue you.

I guess that's what scares me.

I'm alone again.

You will never be alone again.

I will always be there for you.

You will hear the sound.

Of the flute?

You will feel the wind of my hand
stopping an attack.

Looking for death?

I wanted to make sure you didn't shoot
me before you knew who I was.

And who are you?

Friend of Peter's.

Did you see the smoke in here just now?

Must be your air conditioning unit
malfunctioning.

It's good to get some air.

You must be Kelly.

Where's Peter?

Well, Peter told me to come by and...

Tell you that it's going to be late.

Zen and the art of archery.

That's a good discipline to learn.

Be one with the bow, one with the arrow,
and you'll hit your target every time.

You couldn't use the telephone.

No, the line's dead. You can check if
you like.

Ah, Tao Te Ching.

Lao Tzu.

The way of life.

I was expecting a...

Copy of the firm and a few Elmore
Leonards.

Does our Peter have emotions that run so
deep?

I'd say very deep.

Where do you know Peter from?

The same place you do. I'm a cop.

A badge and ID?

Did anyone ever tell you?

You're a very beautiful and suspicious
young woman.

Oh, that's how us cops stay alive, isn't
it?

Jorgensen.

Sergeant. Miami Police Force.

Comedy is much tougher than writing, it
really is.

See, I was a writer and I still had the
same agent.

Actually, my agent is Salman Rushdie's
agent.

I saw Salman up at the office the other
day.

And I said, what are you doing? He said,
I wrote a diet book. I said, you wrote

a diet book? He said, yeah, I wrote a
diet book. He said,

actually, if you stick to the plan...

You won't just slim down.

You will disappear completely.

Hey, Marvin.

That's my cousin Marvin.

How are you?

He's a mortician.

Oh, I gotta tell you this little thing
before I go off. He was over at my house

the other day. I was going out for a
date.

I was all dressed up, nice suit, shirt,
you know.

Marvin goes over to me and he says, your
tie's crooked.

Lie down, I'll fix it.

Anyway, I'm gonna go now. I'm gonna take
a short break.

So, thank you very much.

Everett Cooper, ladies and gentlemen.
Keep it going for Everett Cooper.

I'm a little scattered, but I'm sorry
about that. My mom just flew in to town

visit me, and I'm still kind of
recovering from the whole ordeal. She

air guilt.

It's new airlines for Jewish mothers.
They're playing in all those lands, and

now we're early, just so they can phone
you up and say, Well, you couldn't be

here to pick up your own mother. Call
Jane Kane, my friend, my protector.

What the hell are you doing here?

Looking for you.

You are now a stand -off? Yeah, well,
you know, writing about shadow assassins

who kill you with their thoughts is
getting me a little, I don't know, edgy.

Wow, Kane, you look great.

Lots of meditation, huh?

You're here to see how I am, right?

Right? Am I right?

Your life may be in danger.

Why do you always say that every time
you see me?

You know, what happened to Yo Everett?

You're looking good.

Funny routine.

The only danger I'm in is if this crowd
turns ugly and... The Chiru master may

have returned.

I have sworn to protect you.

Really? The only one sworn to protect
Everett Cooper is Everett Cooper.

I absolve you.

At least I'm gonna go home with her.

Keep out of the shadows.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

You know

what I'm learning? I'm learning that
comedy is a cakewalk compared to

Yeah, I feel good at this. I really do.

And I did write that book. I wrote a
book about men who kill you with their

thoughts. These are very mean guys.

Not their mothers like them, I get.

Anyway,

let's try a great laugh -in -welcome for
an old friend of mine.

Just back from that wonderful communist
comedy club in Tiananmen Square.

Let's put your hands together for Mr.

Kwai Chang Kane.

Shadow of sex, you can't cover for me.

As long as I am to pain, you and him,
you will be safe.

Comedy.

I do remember something funny that
happened to me many years ago.

We, all of us, live in the womb of the
earth.

And we are continually giving birth.

And the weary traveler must always be
given shelter.

But if that traveler stays in the shadow
too long, they may

engulf him.

All right, let's hear it, folks.

Kwai Chang Kane, ladies and gentlemen.
Yeah.

Give him a hand.

That was some weird stuff, Gwaii.

No.

I am his protector.

Then you must die first.

You defeated my Chiru master.

Cain, you will not defeat me.

But you will not die here.

Not yet.

In my time.

In my plane.

Think of the universe as a single
entity, a web of intricate conflicts in

the more you struggle, the deeper into
the organism you are drawn, until you

swallowed whole and you cease to exist.

What book is that from?

I'm not reading from any book.

Who the hell are you?

I am your lover's nightmare.

Come to life.

I should just kill you.

But it would inflict more pain for him
to watch you die.

Rushing home for dinner.

Don't you understand there's nothing you
can do to stop us? I'm a slow study.

Maybe we should finish it.

Here.

And now.

But you're not alone.

Your boss probably wants to make sure
you don't screw up again.

Must be tough to fail in your world.

We never really fail.

Must have been that last joke about
their mothers.

Really are my guardian angel.

Where were you Saturday night? My
routine was dying.

I will leave the comedy to you.

I told the police it was a street
attack.

But it was him, right?

Am I right?

It was another.

I was afraid to write the sequel to The
Shadow Assassin.

Afraid that he might come back for me.

But he'll keep coming, won't he?

Not if I can stop them.

They must come for me before they come
for you.

That's some responsibility you're taking
on, isn't it?

Protecting me with your life?

We have a bond.

the sequel you are a brave man you can't
go on protect me the rest of your life

so protect yourself okay

he's

gonna be all right but peter didn't
report in for a shift tonight

They look like shadows, but it must be
some kind of force field.

Are you okay?

No. Her pride, her body, I'm scared to
death.

I have looked forward to your return,
Qui -Gon Kain.

With joy in my heart, but not so that
you may battle these

dark forces.

I have no choice.

I must ask for your help as I did
before.

The awareness of shadow and substance
will not help you this time.

Yes, I know.

I must battle them on a higher plane.

If you believe, I am ready.

We will see.

They told me that if I waited in
Chinatown long enough, I would come

Chang Kane.

Shaolin, right?

The only ones we're supposed to be
afraid of.

You use fear to terrify your victim.

But the heart attacks, they are induced,
yes?

Derivative of digitalis.

Small needle into the bloodstream.

Causes hallucinations.

Very frightening.

And keeps your legend intact.

Oh, some people simply die of pure
fright.

Like the prisoners we have now.

They're very frightening.

You know the cave at Castle Mill Lake?

I know that.

Midnight tonight.

You must learn to replicate your being.

Split your psyche as I can.

I cannot achieve that.

You can do this thing.

You must.

You are ready, Quai Cheng Kien.

But it is a task you cannot do alone.

Peter will be there.

A prisoner?

I will attempt to rescue him and the
girl.

But you will be busy with the Chiro
Masters.

I will free the prisoners.

This...

All battles against evil must be joined.

Or the soul will be as paper in the
flame.

Go that way. We will speed up.

Kill the prisoners.

You can't reach us. You can't make it
through the shadows.

The trick is not to walk through the
shadows, but

around them.

If you look, you will see a pen.

But look with your inner eyes.

I see it.

Give me your hand.

We all join hands.

We must not break the chain.

I'll stay with the angel.

All right.

Welcome.

You are safe.

Let us go.

You'll be back, won't you?

They are true.

They must not fail.

They will be back.

Will you return if they do?

I mean...

That is why you said you came back.

So if this is another goodbye scene, I'd
like to know now, so I can prepare

myself for the... I will stay.

You will?

For how long?

Don't answer that.

You don't know how long.

You know, they turned your croon into a
wholesale dress factory.

Yes.

I will find other accommodations.

You want to open another room? Teach
Kung Fu?

No. It was necessary I maintain a high
profile

while the Emperor was in danger. Now
that he is safe, I have time.

Time for what?

For inner search.

Reassessment of my values to get to know
my son.

Hey.

This belongs to my father.

He gave it to me to hold on to while he
was gone.

Hang on to it for a while, will you?

That is for the children.

Oh, slow down. That could take a while.

I will keep it for you.

Pop! I'm sorry. Dad.

An address would be nice.

Chinatown.

It will not be so easy to find you this
time.

But you will.

After all, you're a cop.

It's good to have you back.

Good to be back.
