The poison is deep within you.

Can you see them, shall we?

You know who my father is. He will reward you.

Answer me, priest.

You can become a rich man.

Slowly.

Let the potion work.

He will recover.

Now, you must rest.

Yes, rest on me.

That is my reward.

Wait.

Who are you?

I am King.

I don't remember that name.

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... I

am King.

I will help you.

Stay back.

Take care of our need.

Who are you?

I am King.

I remember that name.

I've taken the entire top floor. And for me? The largest rooms. The president's

suite. President? How democratic.

In my father's condition.

He is well attended.

Two doctors have been summoned.

He is stable for the moment.

There should be no disturbance.

None. I have paid the hotel well.

There's little time. We must go.

You know where he is?

I have an address.

Look, I'm very busy. What do you want?

We are in search of a man named Kwai Chang Kane.

My name is Thomas Lai. I represent General Jan. I don't care what your name

What's it got to do with me? It would be in your best interest to cooperate with

us, sir. You threatening me, pal? No, sir, I am not.

Enough of your Western courtesies.

It is no longer his residence.

Hey, you're hurting me. What the hell's the matter with you? You have not been

spoken to. Please do not look directly at General Jan when you speak.

What the hell is this? A scene from the bridge on the River Kwai? This is the

United States of America, pal. I'm calling the cops.

I am looking for a man.

His name is Kane.

Kwai Chang Kane.

You know him?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Everybody in Chinatown knows him. This place used to be his, what do you call

it, what do you call it, Kwan. He taught Kung Fu classes.

I bought the place from him. Well, he sort of gave it to me.

Weird, huh?

When was this?

A month ago.

Your information was at fault.

He gave you the information.

Next time, it will be your responsibility to ensure it is correct.

He has a son, Kane Cobb. He works out of the 101st Precinct down on Chester

Street, just above the park.

My apologies for the fear.

We got laws in this country, pal.

They do not apply to General Jen.

No laws anywhere do.

He is the law.

Get back to work.

This is it. Yeah.

We had him monitored for three months.

I know everything I'd ever want to know about his trip to Hawaii, but... Nothing

on the kidnap scheme.

Kane!

Kane! Hey!

He's calling you.

Where is Kane?

Would you quiet down?

What the... I can't shut them up.

It's okay. You want me?

You were the son of Kwai Chang Kane?

Yeah, that's right.

My name is Thomas Lai. I am advisor to this man, General Jiang Shu.

He has traveled a long way on urgent business.

If you would please find your father and bring him to us.

I don't think so.

We're a little busy in here today.

You want to tell me what you want with my father? It is personal. I was asking

him. If it's personal to my father, it's personal to me, okay?

Catch you guys later.

You are insolent.

And I should be more meek and polite like you, is that it? I don't think so.

Look, if you want to find my father, you look for him yourself.

And I'll give you another helpful little hint.

No one brings my father anywhere.

Sit down, will you? I don't want him. I said sit down!

Why is he not punished?

He will be.

Sit down.

And how will you kill him?

Kill him?

The general has lived his entire life in China, a remote area.

Things are done differently there.

I'm sure they are.

You call him the general, he's in the army?

Not exactly.

He is, however, the authority in his area.

Yeah, well, break it to him gently that he has no authority here, okay?

Hey, Pete, you want to come and book this guy?

Yeah. Blake, let's take care of this.

I'll see you guys later. If you find my father, tell him he owes me dinner.

We should force him to tell us.

We have found the home of Kwai Chang Kane.

Now proceed.

Very good.

But it can still be improved.

The grip you continue to use is the fox foot.

A move you know so well.

Perhaps too well, Master.

It has become instinct.

Shall we try again?

Much better.

It did not feel better.

An old man got lucky.

Kuai Chang Keng, you are summoned to General Jian Shu.

You will come with us now.

You are summoned!

It works better.

Much better.

Now, who is this General Jian?

He is our lord.

Why does he summon me?

The general's father is ill.

The old warlord.

You will be paid well if you answer the summons.

I will not.

I fear the old man will die soon without your help.

I will come tonight.

I thought you said you would not come. I did not say I will not come. I said I

will not be summoned.

The priest will come. I would say he's a man who keeps his word.

There is time before his arrival.

Yes.

He will not be hurried.

Then we should enjoy ourselves.

Brought in the night guy?

Oh, wow.

Bigger than my apartment.

Want a roommate?

Evening, gentlemen.

Evening. So, you like what you see?

I will buy them both.

I'm to your piece.

Now, for a thou, you'd have them making you tea in the morning.

The general may want them longer.

Sorry, chump. There's no weeklies, no monthlies. You get them for the night,

you take Mr.

Stretchy here and you take off.

He annoys me.

Yeah, I got something that's going to annoy you. Ow, ow, ow!

Ow, ow, ow!

Now, you boys just bought yourself some lovin'. Girl, have a ball.

Thank you, gentlemen.

You're doing very well.

You should not go.

Once someone is ill, I must go.

You heard what he was called?

Yes.

A warlord.

A term I have not heard in many years.

These warlords, they are animals.

Men of extreme violence, thieves, and murderers.

I have never heard you speak with such fury.

When I was a boy, I witnessed such cruelties.

They took our crops, even in famine.

They livestock and kidnapped the young sons for ransoms.

To defy them was to die.

And yet, you did defy them.

Yes, and it began my following of the Tao.

There was a priest in our village, the only one who spoke against the

warlord.

I joined him and began my trainings and studies.

Then, something good did come from the warlord.

Never. They killed women, children.

And they kill Shaolins, too.

Yes, I know.

Question came.

Knowing you as I do, you will do what you must.

Mrs.

Scalini says you just about busted that guy's jaw.

He got on my nerves.

Where did that Yul Brynner guy come from?

I don't know.

There's something frightening about him, though.

Yeah, I know how that is. I was like, the words my father used to tell me at

temple.

Speak of the devil.

That one.

I will have this table.

Well, yeah, you can have it if you can hang in for a couple of hours, okay?

Now!

Well, the table's taken, Genghis Khan.

Take a hike.

Hey!

Hey, get your hands off me.

Maybe someone should teach him some good old Yankee manners.

Chief, slow down.

Hey, slow down. Hey!

I am off duty.

You do what you want.

I'm with you.

No, that's what I did.

Don't touch me!

I'll do worse than that if you cause any more trouble in here.

He is a police officer.

You're still acting like a jerk, huh?

King, son.

I will obey your laws.

Good of you.

It is lucky you have the authority of a badge.

Oh?

What's that supposed to mean?

It means I would destroy you if you did not.

Okay, Chief.

Let's go. No.

Not a big fella's got a mouth on him here. No.

You're a cop.

Let's go.

Another cow!

See that?

I'm not a cop anymore.

You want to take this outside?

It would be my pleasure.

Chief? Hey, slow down.

Slow down.

Hey, don't do this.

Yeah, what would you do, Pete?

Right now, I'd just try to stay alive.

Yeah, just watch my back.

This won't take long.

I wished he would already be dead.

Frank.

Call 911.

Why did he have to do that, Peter?

He stepped in where he should have not.

Damn him.

All those medals of honor, and this is how he's got to end it all in a street

girl?

It's going to be okay.

Promise me.

Okay, Mrs. Stranley. I promise you.

Shall then, you have come.

To see one who is ill?

It is wise that you came.

Sit, we will talk.

I will stand.

Very well, priest.

We accept that you are here under no duress, and that certain rituals need

apply to you.

See how we honor you, priest?

To be thought of as a slave and not treated as one.

This is your conception of honor.

Be careful, Sheldon.

And do what you were brought here to do.

I will do what I am able to do. I can do no more.

And you will cause no more trouble in the community.

You know who I am, Kane.

But do you know what I am?

Yes. You are a warlord.

He is a powerful man, Kane.

Yes.

He has the power to arrogantly summon me here.

He has the power to frighten poor factory workers.

He has the power to involve my son and the power to injure the man whom I know.

General Jan did not start that fight.

The man in question was more than able to defend himself. What I do, is that

your concern?

When what you do affects me, my family, and my community, that is

my concern.

My father is ill, dying perhaps.

You are Shaolin, a healer.

There are many Shaolin, many healers.

But not like you.

In my country, tales are still told of Kwai Chang Kane, of his skills, skills

passed on to your father.

Yes, your father.

I met him, you know.

When I was a child, he saved a friend of mine, a boy who the villagers said was

near death.

We have traveled a long way at considerable cost to find you.

Attend to my father, Sheldon. Use the talents that flow from grandfather to

father to run.

You know you cannot refuse.

I will see him now.

Your king.

The great Shorin.

My son speaks of.

And what do you find, Sharon?

You have good pain.

Arthritis. And?

Your breathing is very difficult.

Pneumonia.

Tell me what you really see.

You are dying.

Yes, I'm old.

Older pops than I ever thought I would be.

It is your time.

I embrace it.

But it is... great dilemma for my son.

He tries the top time to save me

because I'm his father.

Yet, when I die, you know what I am?

Yes, you are a warlord.

As my father was and his father.

At your death,

Your son will replace you.

You have met my son.

You have seen into his heart.

Yes.

The healing I would ask of you is not mine, Shaolin.

Stay with me.

Stay with dying man and talk.

I just got the word. How was he?

He took a beating that would have put my father on his back.

He's hanging on to life, Paul.

I didn't think there was one man on this planet that could take Stranach alone.

How the hell did it happen?

You know, this General John, he walked into the bar with his bodyguards, acting

like he owned the whole city.

Starts hassling an innocent patron. Frank got mad.

walks over and makes a mistake.

What was that?

He touched him.

You're kidding.

Big offense, according to the general.

Did you stand there and watch this happen?

There was nothing I could do.

Frank called him out.

That was all for... I wanted to get the bastard.

I suppose I would have wanted her to do the same thing.

It was all self -defense until... Until what?

Well, Frank took off his belt, wrapped it around his knuckles.

Yeah, it's an old Marine track.

Paul, I wanted to... I couldn't get near him.

I couldn't stop him.

Okay, take it easy. Take it easy, okay?

I want you to bring me and this G on the question, huh? Can you do that?

Yeah.

You stay here with Molly for a while, don't you, Peggy?

Badly.

It was my fault.

I should have stopped.

What have you found, priest?

Have you treated my father?

I have examined him.

And?

There is very little I can do.

He will die soon.

No.

I will try to make his passage as peaceful as possible.

You can save him, but you will not.

Because of your hatred of me.

I am Shaolin.

If my father dies, why, Jane, Jane?

You will die by my hand.

I don't think so.

General John, you're coming with me. For what reason?

For questioning, Counselor, about that fight that you witnessed.

My lord acted in self -defense.

David, there's a man in intensive care.

I don't know and I don't care how things are done where you come from, but over

here there's going to be an inquiry.

Is that clear for everyone?

I will not come.

Suits me fine. Guys?

Peter.

We agree the general will come with you and make a statement that will not be

necessary. I make those decisions

What are you

doing here His father is very ill I must

stay with him. This is police business

Be careful.

They have nothing with which to charge you.

Just accept it, Peter. You heard what the DA said.

It was a brutal attack.

Brought on by strongly.

An off -duty cop breaking up with his statements.

He handed you his gun and his badge. He used his belt as a weapon in the alley.

It's been on a short fuse for a long time. It just took...

General G, I'm delighted.

He comes to this country full of arrogance and his own ego. A man used to

in his fingers and people's throats are cut.

He hurts one of our own, and then we say, hey, that's okay. You don't have to

conform to our laws, our rules. You just be yourself, man.

I can't charge him for ignorance or arrogance or for bringing his own set of

values to our main streets. He defended himself. It's over.

We can't hold him. We let him go.

Will you honor my request?

The chain must come from within, not from without.

What matters to us matters to him.

Whatever else my son may be, he is still a man of honor.

Have him give his word.

Have him swear as I ask of you.

I can only answer for myself.

It is his violence that will destroy him.

Save him, Shaolin.

Save my son.

He must put down his sword and return home.

I give you my word.

My father is dead.

As I have sworn, your father must pay.

Is that right?

Tell the Sheldon priest to prepare for his death.

Yes, my son.

There's no need for this, don't you see?

We have John where we want him.

Where do you want him? Behind bars.

He threatened you openly.

In the police station. We got all kinds of witnesses this time, Pop.

So, you will wait until he does violence to me? We'll put you under 24 -hour

surveillance.

No. This is a challenge I must face alone.

Why isn't it?

Jian is doing what he must.

Him, I understand.

Swears an oath.

The great warlord saving face in front of all his people. But you, I... It

like you.

I have never once... in my life seen you openly seek battle.

Nor am I now.

But the battle will be fought.

Peter, it is not the fight which matters. It is what lies beneath it.

Why the fight must be fought?

Why?

Why?

Why? When this does not have to happen.

I have given my word.

You know what that means, Peter.

My friend Philip is fighting Joseph after classes.

Fighting?

Yeah, I know.

Fighting's forbidden.

The fact that something is forbidden rarely causes it not to occur.

Father.

I'm in the middle of this.

Because Philip is your friend.

Yes. And because Joseph was my friend.

Years ago, when we were young.

Okay, younger.

Joseph was my best friend.

But we aren't really friends anymore.

But when we were, we swore an oath one day.

You know, we cut our thumbs and we mixed our blood.

And we said that...

If anything ever happened to either one of us, we'd fight to help.

A noble vow.

I wish I never made it.

If the fight gets any bigger and other kids join in, I want to be on Philip's

side.

But you gave your word to Joseph.

Yeah, I gave my word.

But that was years ago.

It's just kid stuff.

Perhaps. It is no longer of consequence.

Joseph may have forgotten.

No. He reminded me today.

I didn't forget anyway.

A man who does not forget an agreement is reckoned an honorable man.

Confucius.

A man's honor is his worth.

A man's word is honor.

Without this, we are poor indeed.

Under what conditions will we fight?

Conditions? Are we bargaining, Shaolin?

I wish to gain something from this fight.

Other than your death?

I want you to grant your father's final wish.

You will return to your home.

Done.

And? you will give up fighting.

What? You may rule if you wish, but not by the sword.

Are we agreed?

This was my father's wish?

It was.

So it seems we both fight for my father, each in his own way.

Tell me, priest.

What do I get if I defeat you?

My life.

So be it.

Peter, do not fight them.

The battle is here.

Ah, you can heal him.

Go ahead and gain.

is gone.

The bleeding has stopped.

Yes.

You... You are a great healer.

I... owe you my life.

You owe me nothing.

Except... the promise you made me.

Your word.

Hey, Kat.

Pretty dumb move for a smart cop, huh?

Well, as Cain would say, for you it has some logic.

What happened to my good friend, Yul Brynner?

Cain sent him home.

Somebody here to see.

I've never fallen in love with a hothead like you.

Hey, Pop?

Pop, you here?

Some package for you.

Got a secret admirer.

A broken sword?

He has kept his word.

I'm glad.

Yeah, I feel so sorry for those poor people that he's going back to, though.

Being under the thumb of a guy like that.

Those old ways are changing.

Not quickly, but they are doing so.

The death of his father.

May have helped many allegiances went with him

You think John will keep his word he

will
