Original subtitles

No, I couldn't sleep.

Raining like the float of the ark.

Then we heard it. The alarms went off. Charlie was in the tripwire.

Have I missed much?

I hate to miss these stories.

It's just getting exciting.

It's not exciting.

You hear a hammering louder than the gun, and you realize it's your heart.

You have a fear inside you so tight it's cutting off your breathing.

You act by instinct. You just grab your rifle, you lock and load.

You face the darkness.

What was that? Come on, let's go.

What are you doing, brother? Are you crazy? Come on!

Another robbery.

Mr. Chase has been hurt. Call the police, Bill. Mark, look after him.

It's all right. It's all right. It's all right.

The police are on their way.

Okay, okay.

He caught me by surprise.

Thank you.

Okay, the cops are on their way.

What's happened to this neighborhood?

Worse and worse.

Is there any end to this?

There has to be.

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 gay.

I will help you.

Quite in pain.

I would like you to meet Mr. Marvin Pointer, an old and respected friend.

The pleasure is mine.

Oh. Yeah. Oh, mine too.

Really.

Would you share tea with me?

Why did you come here to drink tea?

Mr. Marvin wants to be a kung fu fighter.

Does he understand the discipline?

No.

From the...

Movies and TV.

Yes, I have seen that, too.

Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal. You know, like that.

Yes.

I know what you are going to say.

At his age, it would be difficult to embrace the discipline.

Oh, but he is very sincere and a proud man.

Then we will teach him.

Mr. Pointer, what is it that has brought you to this decision?

I want to learn to defend myself and others.

A noble purpose.

We can begin right away.

Observe.

There is a gliding swan. It's so slow and pretty.

Sometimes what is more beautiful can be

the more lethal.

Don't forget that.

Now, together.

Very good.

Hey, hear that Chinatown mall got hit again yesterday?

That's all anybody's talking about. There's no other crime out there.

Well, there's a tremor building at 7 .2 on the Richter scale, and it's coming

right at you.

Good luck, partner.

Sergeant, did you get those witnesses ready for interrogation? Waiting in the

interrogation, Captain. Nobody saw anything, heard anything, knows

there any other kind of witness?

In my office, Detective Kane, right now.

Four hits in three weeks.

All of them cash.

You got any ideas?

Well, I have a theory, Captain, but it's not my case. It is your case now,

Detective. Those are your streets.

Chinatown is your beat. I want you to roster your contacts. Find Donnie Double

D. Find out what the hell's going on. Well, they aren't petty robberies. I

this is seed money. All right, that's my theory.

Little things lead to big things.

Car gets stolen on Bay Roof. A week later, it's run into the American

chock full of C4.

Rumor has it that you were there when that happened. You led the counter

-assault. We're not here to talk about my personal history, all right? I want

find out what's coming at us. I want to find out before it hits us in the face.

I need answers.

You do your job, Detective. That's all.

All right, we're ready to go.

I want to know what's going on.

You were a little tough on him, weren't you? I run this precinct. Sometimes you

have to be tough on your detective.

Would you have been as tough on Blake or Kermit or me?

Or does Peter being your foster son make him more vulnerable to attack?

Should I call the bank?

Getting Peter's emotions around usually brings results. Let it ride. See what he

turns up.

At my author. It makes him very nervous.

It does?

Well, if he breaks into a hundred pieces, I don't get chapter 15 tonight.

Are we having the same trouble with the Valentine killers?

No, the Valentine killers, you know, it is coming along great.

I don't know. It's some car backfiring.

Not gunfire?

No. See, contrary to what you have read, Harry, we don't get drive -by shootings

in every neighborhood.

Just keep your head down.

When do I get my revisions?

I'll fax you the revisions tonight.

Good. All right. Say hello to Fifth Avenue.

Goodbye, Harry.

Bye.

Dad!

Dad!

What are you doing?

Ooh, my sweet.

As egregious as I find this bachelor existence, and as much as I would love

shack up with you, no, uh, as much as I would love to cohabitate in a

marital capacity, yeah, that's better, I just feel that the timing is not

propitious for this, for this union of our two souls.

Hi!

Sorry I'm late.

I was shopping for the truth, but...

Oh, well, there's no point in jumping the gun.

What'll it be? Something sweet on the rocks.

I'll put a kick in it. You got it, Lula.

So, I understand you, uh, want to ask me something?

Yeah, right, I did. Mm -hmm. I mean, I do.

Mm -hmm.

It's just that I'm waiting.

Lula. Uh -huh? Darling.

There you go. Will you, uh... I said I'm waiting.

Will you...

Sonny, you need to talk. No, no, not now. Yes, now.

Absolutely. Now, Lula.

I cannot keep a client of this magnitude waiting.

It's a matter of life and death, right?

Yes, it's always a matter of life and death with a cop.

I'll be back in a moment.

Sweetie.

I'm going to kill them both.

Pete,

I am in your debt.

I'll remember that.

These robberies in Chinatown, who's behind them?

That wood on the street is unrelated to burglaries, but I am hearing a name.

Tommy Ness.

Ness? He's back in town?

It's just a whisper.

These whispers tell you where I might find Tommy?

I keep changing his place of operation, sometimes daily.

Sounds like something big's going down, Pete. The nature of which has eluded my

delicate hearing thus far.

Well, keep your ear closer to the ground.

I need more information. I'm going to be walking a beat in a stem.

Your potential bride's waiting for you.

This I know.

If you ask me, Donnie, you're a pretty lucky guy.

Tell that to my noise.

How'd you two make out? Off and running.

This guy Kane is really something.

I already could do the first part of Gliding Swan.

It's lethal, trust me.

Okay.

I took out some savings.

How's that gonna help us?

Well, we can buy some weapons.

Higher muscle. You know, bring in some help.

Bring in total strangers who don't care about the people in this neighborhood?

Marv, you've lived here all your life. What do you see around you?

Crime everywhere.

Phil, dope dealers.

Crack houses on every corner.

Kids buying death at five bucks a pop.

Loan sharks, pimps, prostitutes.

Most of them younger than my daughter.

Phil, you went away to college. What did you find when you got back?

The animals had taken over.

There's only one way to fight fire.

And that's with fire.

And at what course of action are you three vigilantes discussing?

How did you find me?

Yeah, I don't know. You've only had lunch here with the guys every day for

past five years. It was just a shot in the dark.

Nice segue, though, as we say in the publishing business.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I'm talking about target practice in the backyard.

I thought we had an agreement. You look, you collect, you don't shoot.

Where's the gun now, Dad?

It's in the car.

Remember, I'm like lightning in this thing.

This isn't your concern.

It is my concern. You're my father. I love you. Everything you do is my

How's Alice, Marv?

Is she ready to become a widow? Now, that's enough, Nan. What about you,

What do you have under the counter there? A shotgun?

Someone's got to stand up to them.

Why does it have to be you?

It has to be someone.

Oh, my God.

Look at that.

Bold as hell.

Come on, let's do something.

Stay here, Nan.

Hold it right there!

You miserable jerk.

You think this is funny?

How's this for funny?

You won't shoot.

Wouldn't I?

Now put your hands up.

Put them up!

Turn around.

Get up against that wall.

Bill, go pat him down.

Keep clean.

And

you

recognized him right away.

Are you the gentleman that made the arrest?

Yeah, that's us.

Yeah, one more piece of dirt off the street.

Sorry, ma 'am, no one's allowed any closer.

He didn't tell him that we supported him to call me ma 'am. My father is over

there.

Well, he's in good hands.

Okay, I understand that one of you has a gun.

All right.

I'm going to have to confiscate that.

Mr. Clark.

Woody Clark.

No problem.

You know, it's a serious offense to carry a concealed weapon, and the

that took your statement says you don't have a permit.

Hey, look, we're the ones trying to bring a little safety bag.

Just let me finish here.

We're going to have to take you downtown. You have to fill out a few

answer a few questions.

To be honest with you guys, I'm very proud of you. I think it took a lot of

to take that guy down.

You did great.

Wish we were more like you.

Thanks.

Good hands, huh?

Who did your detective train with at the academy?

Daryl Gates?

I was taking a walk in a mall.

I gotta get my kid sister a new Nintendo.

What, that's a crime now?

Maybe it should be.

You give me that. I just happen to be there. I'm an innocent bystander.

Crap anymore. I'm going to haul you out of that chair.

Doesn't that come under the heading police brutality?

Hold it. Hold it. Come on.

You're going to let him do that? Touch me like that?

I'll tell you what I'm going to let him do. I'm going to walk out the door. I'm

going to close the door. I'm going to lock it.

I'm going to turn the radio off real loud. I'm going to let him do what the

he wants to do to you.

Unless we get some straight hands.

We got eyewitnesses, miss.

Put you at the scene of the jewelry store robbery.

Yeah?

Then book me.

Right now I want my lawyer in here. I don't say another word until he's

me my rights as a citizen.

Went that well, huh?

He's laughing at us.

I came to police work.

Kind of late.

Before that, the kind of work I did wasn't so polite.

If I wanted a confession from somebody, they confessed.

Or they bled to death.

You know, you get your lawyer here.

But I want you to think about what you're going to answer.

I'm going to ask you these same questions all over again.

Well, I hate to bring more joy into an already delightful day, but you have a

visitor.

She's not very happy.

Detective King?

My name is Nan Clark.

My father was one of the men who made the citizen arrest earlier.

Just what the hell do you think you were doing?

Excuse me?

What you said to those men was ludicrous and completely irresponsible.

Wait a minute. What I said to... I heard what you said to those men. You

encouraged them.

You were praising them. Now, in case you haven't noticed, those are three

private citizens.

One of them is an old man.

My father, who is emotionally wracked by memories of a war that we would all

like to forget, and the third is a kid right out of college. Okay, slow down.

They risked their lives tracking down a dangerous criminal.

Doing your job, detective.

All right, that's enough.

Now, no one asked those men to do what they did.

I realize that that was potentially dangerous.

We confiscated your father's gun, made the arrest, and what happened was a one

-shot deal. It worked out.

Okay, it's over.

You think so?

Why shouldn't I?

Would you like to take a ride with me, Detective?

Would you mind doing that?

I'll tell you something, Mr. Kane. These moves look easy, but they're tough.

I'll tell you something else.

Me thinking I could become a fighter. It's the stupidest idea I ever had.

You may tell me about it, if you wish.

The ancient said you kind of know things.

I got caught up in a plan, me and a couple of buddies.

We decided we're going to do something.

Going to save the city.

A difficult task.

Perhaps a dangerous one.

Yeah, it's a little scary.

It's been snowballing pretty fast, I guess.

Well, I worry we're getting in over our heads.

Perhaps I could, if you wish, speak to your friends.

Oh, that'd be great.

They'd listen to you. They really would.

My father's a collector.

He fought in Vietnam. He brought back some of this stuff as mementos.

I'm afraid what happened in the mall is only the beginning.

My father and his friends have started some insane rampage against crime.

As you can see, if they wish, they can be very well armed.

You've got to impound these weapons, detective.

I can't do that.

It's a private collection.

A collection that I'm telling you he has every intention of using.

I mean, there is malicious intent here.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. Intent isn't grounds for any police action.

So we can practice preventive medicine but not preventive crime.

Is that it, detective?

What's it going to take?

I can get him released, Tommy.

The police have no hard evidence on him except for... Except for what?

47 outstanding parking violations and speeding tickets.

That's what they're holding him on now.

Stupid. Stupid.

Stupid! How can we come from the same family and he be so stupid?

Look, I can pay those on the spot and he'll walk right out of there. But if he

said anything to them... Give him the money.

Take the cash, Freeman.

Get him out of there before he does say anything.

You got it.

Goodbye.

Those three guys who made the citizen's arrest will testify against Sean. That's

the word I hear.

I know.

We got long -range plans on this one.

We've done a lot of work.

I'm not going to let my idiot brother or some group of vigilantes screw it up.

All right?

So we take care of business? Yes, we take care of business.

Fighting violence.

Oh, it's violence.

It's never the end.

All this from a man who teaches people how to kick other people in the face?

That is not the purpose of Kung Fu.

Avoidance and evasion are its basic principles.

But you do teach Kung Fu.

No, actually, I do not.

I am instructing you only as a favor to an old and dear friend.

Hey!

Every customer I've had today. Hey!

Way to go, Phil!

We're celebrities.

Hey! I got to go to the back and get some stuff, and then I'll take a break,

okay, and sit in on this.

So your philosophy would be to turn the other cheek, let the first one bleed.

There are other nonviolent and more effective ways to make a difference in

the community.

No offense, Mr. Kane, you're a priest. You've got to say things like that to

people. We know all about neighborhood, watch, call 911, take a bite out of

crime, all that stuff.

Fact is, there are horrors being committed out there.

There are things being done that you or any other man in this room 100 years ago

today would simply strap on a gun, take a knife, and put a stop to it.

My grandfather lived during that era, and yet he was also a priest.

What do you want us to do? What everybody else does?

Stick their heads in the sand and hope the next guy will do something?

We are the next guys.

Order cannot come from loneliness.

So, this is our brave little band of vigilantes.

I heard there were three.

Could there be a fourth?

Well, the more the merrier.

Your young friend Philip would like to have some words with you guys.

Or down the hall.

You see, I brought you gentlemen here to teach you a lesson.

It's about interfering with people's lives and their business.

Phil appears going to demonstrate just exactly why he has decided not to

against my brother. Aren't you, Phil?

Please. No.

Sorry, Phil.

Knees are vulnerable.

As is the breastbone.

Unless it would be easier.

I cannot help you.

But please, exercise caution.

What are we going to do about those three guys?

They'll scare their wives.

Threaten their children. I don't know. They won't go to court.

Ideals tarnish fat.

Now that Chinese guy, he's dangerous.

We've got to take care of him.

Soon.

Over there.

Got any more threats for me?

I'd sure like my attorney to hear them.

My client will be filing charges against you and at precinct for harassment,

police brutality, and obstruction of justice.

That's a good one.

Here's Jester.

You can walk the streets, but that doesn't mean you're a free man.

They'll be watching you.

They'll be dogging your steps.

There'll be shadows you can't shake.

That's threatening.

Yeah, that's right it is.

Why don't you add it to the list?

Come on.

Let's go.

Everything's bailable, right? In just about.

All right, side here, Mr. Ness. Eight and four.

There you go. Get anything from Donnie Double D?

I'm waiting for him.

Your, um, friend is back.

Here you go, man.

Great.

Good luck.

Okay, okay, take it easy on me now. At least I can see you coming this time.

No, you can't.

I came to apologize for jumping on you the way I did.

Well, no harm, no foul.

You have a right to be worried, Ms. Clark.

Nan, did they let you out of here to eat?

So tell me about your father.

He's a sensitive soul.

Doesn't like anyone to know that, but he is.

He was always this strong, protective type.

Particularly after my mother died and then this.

What happened? Was that an accident?

I was 16.

My dad and I were shopping.

There was a holdup, and a liquor store owner started firing back at us.

19 -year -old kid, and he shot back.

Anyway, the bullet hit me in the back, and ever since.

The point is, that's what's driving Dad now.

He couldn't help me then. No one could.

It was a random shot.

Sorry. About the wheels?

I've come to terms with that. It's my dad that I want to help.

Well, I'm also sorry for prying.

Isn't that what cops do?

Pry?

Anyway, I was thinking of doing some of my own prying about you.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah.

It's about the way you've been looking at me.

Looking at you?

I'm sorry.

Why? Do I make you feel uncomfortable?

No, you don't make me feel uncomfortable.

You get the wheelchair?

No.

Well, otherwise, you wouldn't think twice of making a pass at this gal.

Okay, I'm moving right past embarrassment, straight into shame.

How do we get over these traumas?

Would it help you if I told you that the feeling is mutual?

That you should have noticed the way that I've been looking at you?

You're a cop.

Observation is a detective's first insight.

I believe that was a line in one of my books, or maybe I made the author cut it

out.

Thanks.

You know, come to think of it, I thought you'd give me the once -over.

Sue me.

You're a terrific -looking guy.

You're sweet, and you care.

I like you.

I like you a lot. It's your turn.

You're attractive. I like you, too.

Do you always come on so strong?

Yeah.

Move a little closer.

Closer? Yeah, just in case I do something outrageous, you can catch me.

Closer than that.

You sure Tommy gave you the right address?

I'm sure.

It's

so

dark in here.

What's that stink?

Incense or something?

What did this guy do to Tommy?

Fight gives me the creeps. Come on, let's get out of here.

Thought I'd ever catch a guy that invented the beeper.

Love him and leave him, huh?

This could be about the gang your father and his friends had to run in with.

I'll give you an update.

That's good.

Maybe if you can put those guys in jail, then my dad and Phil and Marv will stop

playing crime fighters.

Oh, there's a fourth member of the group now. Did you know that?

A priest.

Some Chinese -American guy.

What?

Dad didn't mention his name, but now he's their leader.

Oh, that could be my father.

You certainly took your time.

Perchance, has the temperature eluded your teen detective's mind?

Well, I was busy falling in love.

And finding out that my father's become a vigilante.

What? Long story. What do you got for me?

Oh, patience never was your strong suit, Pete.

Okay, here it is.

Tommy Ness has taken up residence in an apartment on the back of a certain auto

body shop on Blum Street.

Well, you got no information?

Well, whatever's going down, it's going down tomorrow morning.

And it has to do with cash, Pete.

Millions in cash.

Tommy's planning on knocking over a bank. This I have not heard.

But there was one other thing.

They got something big.

Bank heist? No, no, no.

Like they have bought or acquired or, heaven forbid, stolen something big.

Donny, I get confused when you're talking riddles like that, okay? Hey, I

hear it and report it, Pete. And then I try to get out before the perpetrators

discover the Trojan horse in their midst.

Hey, I was talking to Lula.

Are we going to hear wedding bells?

Oh, it was terrible, Pete.

She said, she said, you little weasel.

What's it going to be, huh? You going to get married? Or you going to get skin

alive?

Well, given those options, I think I said yes.

That's great. Hey, congratulations.

Thanks, but, uh, well, the thing is, Pete, I, uh, I seem to find myself

bereft of a best man, and I was wondering.

I'd be honored.

You would?

Think cash, Pete.

That's the key to this.

What are we looking at?

All right, you thought that these guys were doing these jobs and preparing for

larger one.

Now, Donnie, this has got something to do with money, cash.

I know, this might be a hunt.

But look at this.

Treasury building agenda.

Can you tell me how Kermit comes up with this stuff? Don't ask.

This is money that they're taking out of circulation.

Delivery dates.

The stuff that they're not going to use anymore. Tired, worn out, dirty money. I

thought that they burned this stuff. They do, but first they have to collect

and transport it. Happens three or four times a day.

Oh, well, let's just see if this is the right time of the year.

Pick up tomorrow morning, Federal Treasury Building, four and a half

That's just going to be guarded like Fort Knox.

There's going to be so much security out there.

How do they transport it?

Standard armored car transport.

That's big.

What, the life?

That's big, the armored car.

Donnie said that these guys had acquired or stolen or got something big.

The armored car.

Listen to this.

Suppose that you got some uniforms, you got some code words, and you stole

yourself an armored vehicle.

I'd be laughing all the way out of the state.

Purely conjecture with no hard evidence. I'm going to check it out.

Your new main squeeze online to repeater.

Matt? Peter, Dad just left the house. He wouldn't tell me where he was going.

Three guns are missing from his collection.

And I called Marv's wife, and she says he's gone out, and Phil isn't answering

the phone.

Okay, stay calm.

Listen, we're going to find these guys, all right? I'll call you as soon as we

do.

How long are we going to do this? I mean, we don't know they're planning any

crime.

As long as we have to.

They move, we move.

We're going to put an end to this once and for all.

So now you're leading gang.

I belong to no gang.

Look, your friends are in grave danger.

Yes. I have told them that their course of action is perilous. Well, why

wouldn't you do something to stop them?

It is not my place to do so.

Well, they've disappeared.

Tommy Ness is planning a bank robbery.

Today, if my hunch is right.

If your friends are anywhere near the scene... When a man hunts a bear,

if he follows it into its cave, then the hunter may become the prey.

So what do we do? Kill the bear?

Remove the bear.

I'm going to try one missing yesterday in Cleveland.

They had government contracts.

What about the driver? He's got a TRW on him. The guy is making small change.

He's in debt, but he just paid off all his credit cards. Right.

Yeah. He gives up the cones. He tells Tommy and his pals the proper procedure.

He calls in sick. They'll get the perfect heist vehicle. But we're going

the ones to give him the four and a half million. All available units to the

Federal Treasury Building on Bellevue.

On their way.

Car 1 -9, this is Broderick.

Car 1 -9, what is it, Sarge?

On our way.

The bear is already out of its lair.

Well, it seems to me that everything's in order. Yeah.

Hey, listen, can we get this show on the road? I got my kid's birthday to go to.

Yeah. Jerry, why don't you take him down with you?

Thanks a lot.

You ready?

Harrison. Yeah, Jack.

Yeah, they're here.

They're all new guys, so what?

Okay.

Kane. I knew he was with us. Wait here.

Guard, I'll be back.

But move this along.

Kane's outnumbered. Wait here.

Hey!

Let's get him out of here.

Chuck went up for the gang of five.

Perhaps. For this one time.

Have you ever thought of writing a book?

Me? No.

There's enough hard -boiled cop stories out there. Oh, no, no, no. I was

thinking of a different angle.

The true love confessions of a Chinatown police detective.

And you want to edit that for me, right? Edit nothing.

I want to be chapter one.

Well, that would require extensive research.

I sincerely hope so.

I don't think I'll ever forget that day.

It was exciting, wasn't it?

Mm -hmm.

It was exciting.

This time.

Sorry, guys. I gotta be getting back home to Alice.

See you later today for a lesson.

So, what does the future hold now for your gang of three?

Oh, we're retired.

I am glad to hear that.

If we were all vigilante, the law would mean nothing.

I know you're right.

But let me ask you one thing, Mr. King.

If your grandfather were here right now, and there was a little old lady over

there, and she was being mugged, what would he do?

The money, Chinaman.

I've got the money and I'm not going to give it to you. If you don't, I'll take

great pleasure in putting a hole through this Chinaman's head.

The same as you or I would do.
