Wait a moment.

You might look...

just as important and striking.

In illness, you will find the peace and serenity of darkness.

In action, you will embrace the light.

Leave me alone!

I don't want to go back!

There will be foolish times. Your father awaits.

Let her go.

Foolish times, please.

Come here. Thank you, Master

Connor.

I've come for my daughter.

This temple is a place of sanctuary.

She has come here for protection.

She needs no protection from me.

Come.

Oh, Felicia.

Do not interfere.

Stop!

I will go with you.

Oh, pass.

We'll cross again, Shaolin.

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

But I want to fight.

Yeah. 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.

I am King.

I will help you.

The essence we seek is at the base of the stem.

Got it.

Cool.

What's this stuff used for?

It has many medicinal purposes.

but it is rarely used.

What is that?

Except for a brief period in the life of the plant,

the liquid is a potent

poison.

Okay.

Hey, Pop, I got a great joke for you.

This woman buys a beautiful orange and green parrot, right?

Does this have something to do with the flowers?

No, this is a joke, Pop.

Ah.

Okay, now, the thing is, the parrot can only say three words.

It says, who is it?

Who is it?

Okay,

so the woman takes the parrot home because it's... Green and orange. It

with everything she has. So she figures, I need an interior decorator.

So she calls an interior decorator. When the decorator comes over, the woman is

out. Right?

Doorbell rings. Parrot says, Who is it?

Right? Guy says, It's the decorator.

Parrot says, Who is it?

Guy says, The decorator.

Parrot says, Who is it?

Guy says, it's the decorator.

Very frustrating.

Parrot says, who is it?

Guy's so furious, breaks a blood vessel and dies right there on the floor.

Right on the front step.

Well, a woman comes home.

And she looks down. She goes, oh, my God.

Who is it?

And the parrot says, it's the decorator.

It's the decorator. That's a joke.

Okay, okay, wait, I got another one for you.

Guy walks into a bar, says, give me 12 shots of vodka, straight up.

I haven't told you no punchline yet.

I thought if I laughed, the purpose of the exercise would

be completed and you would not be required to continue.

What?

Jokes.

You. Help me.

He would not have heeded my warning.

I allowed him to leave in his present weakened condition.

They would kill him.

Lose me?

Lose me?

Oh, I'm glad you're here. Peter, don't you have one of these? A microwave.

Yeah, everybody's got one. My father needs you. It is a gift.

I wonder how does it work. There are no flames.

Amazing. It works in electromagnetic ways. My father told me to tell you that

this is about John Lee Kwan.

John Lee Kwan?

You should have told me this immediately and not waste time talking about all

this.

Who is he?

He's one of the followers of the Zhongli Guan.

Look, will somebody tell me who the Zhongli Guan is?

Zhongli Guan is one of the eight immortals.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, the guy with the fan.

It is said he uses the fan to bring the dead back to life.

And to breathe hope into lost causes.

And you remember?

I have been honored.

When a service is requested, it must be performed without question, without

hesitation.

So what does he want you to do?

That is what I am about to find out.

I've seen that before. That's like the statue that the students carried through

Tiananmen Square.

Yes.

I'll never forget that, watching that on television.

A kid in front of the tank.

All those students.

People carrying the statues through the square.

Everyone thought something good was going to come out of that. Nothing did.

Something came out of it, though.

There is a pattern here.

What is that, a code?

Yeah.

A name and an address.

I seldom see you like this. This meeting must be serious.

It is a matter of life or death.

Whose?

Perhaps a nation's.

To embark upon a new path can be very difficult.

I will always remember the day after our temple was destroyed.

Where will you go now?

I do not know.

It is not important only that I leave.

You take with you many regrets.

The brighter the light, the deeper the shadow.

The evil that was done here lives only in memory and feeds on grief.

We cannot afford regret.

For we are all that we have been.

And our paths unfold.

As we walk them.

You must not blame yourself for this.

My son is dead.

My time here is ended.

I must find another path.

I must find my son or his essence.

You will do that.

This. I promise you, Quadrant Kane.

Goodbye, old friend. Goodbye.

Change.

is more than inevitable.

It is necessary.

Confucius? Frank Zappa.

Is this the address?

Quite a place.

Doesn't look like anybody's been here for a while.

Someone is here now.

That's what the coded message told him. Yes.

Over or under?

Over.

And for your information, this is trespassing.

And this is breaking and entering.

Not breaking.

Good.

You gotta teach me how to do that, Pop.

Somebody's here.

Aw, look, you didn't know that.

Go.

Do not let him get away, but do not harm him.

We're not going to hurt you now.

Just come here.

Hey, hey, hey.

Look, hey.

Stay with him.

Protect him with your life if necessary.

Why is he so important?

The freedom of millions is in his hands.

Thank you both.

You must be Kane. I am very honored to meet you.

This is my son, Peter.

This is Lin Kuan, one of the leaders of Tiananmen Square.

You know these people?

They contacted the Zhang Likuan.

I have been given the task of helping him in his mission.

And these guys?

They are members of the Chinese secret police.

Not even Chinese.

They recruit foreign assassins of all nationalities.

Equal opportunity employers.

They are not after me because I left my country, but because I am going back.

Kane, I have seen the rabbit and the rat.

Now I must find the tiger.

Tiger.

Why chain Kane?

We, the appointed, welcome you.

I am Bantu Kang, this is Chandra Dasa, and this is Bongbong Hai.

Bantu Kang and Chandra Dasa were not dissuaded by your ancestors'

history. My ancestor is innocent of the charges.

So you claim.

Nevertheless, by virtue of your presence, you have chosen to uphold and

sustain the rights of the immortal Zhongli Quan.

Step forward.

Take this ring.

Who is this tiger? Why do you need to see him?

His name is Bonbon Hai.

I am here to seek his help.

Around the world, there are 12 great and powerful Chinese expatriates. You

identify these men by the Chinese zodiac?

Yes.

Bonbon Hai is the tiger, the person of great influence.

Our movement in China was crushed.

but not killed.

There are many people who are willing to once again stand with us.

Last time we stood alone, the people cheered, but no one supported us.

Bonbon Hai wields great power.

He has been my enemy, but I must try.

What do you want from him?

If he agrees to help us, he will give us a piece of this puzzle.

His mark, the tiger.

And then when I have all pieces of the Zodiac, I will return to China. This

when we stand, we will not be alone.

He may not help you, but there is little time to waste.

Bongbong Hai is a very secretive person. He makes himself available only once a

year to a highly selective group of friends and

business associates.

How do we find him?

Tonight is the night.

of his gathering.

But the location is as secret as the caves of Yinshuai.

Oh, I know where those are.

Only because I told you as a boy.

Any leads?

There is a girl.

Isn't there always?

A very wonderful girl.

So who is she?

Someone special.

Someone who meant a great deal to me.

She was part of our movement.

Then she abandoned me.

I know that feeling.

What was her name?

Tia.

She is the daughter of Bon Bon High.

Well, we could go see her. I have only her work address, an exclusive clothing

boutique, which is not open till this evening.

Then we wait.

Any suggestions?

I have always wanted to walk down an American street and eat a real hot dog.

All right.

Then street dogs it is.

Look at this smog. The garbage.

The homeless.

What a mess.

So many people leave their homelands only to come here to try to replicate

they just left. To leave China only to create a Chinatown.

You're very opinionated. To be without opinion is to be without action. To be

without action, one cannot hope for change.

Socrates, right?

Bob Dylan.

I gotta call in.

Hey, Cap!

Detective Kane!

I can't wait to have my real American hot dog.

Kane!

Great to see you. Yeah.

I thought you were selling ice cream.

A little variety, you know. Change with the season.

You should take them now.

No, there are too many people.

Chief. Peter.

Yeah, look, I need your help.

You got to cover me on this.

Say, I got a good one for you.

Is this a joke?

Yeah.

Would the guy say to the Buddhist hot dog vendor?

The Buddhist hot dog vendor, I do not know.

Make me one with everything.

Now that is funny.

One with everything.

Something for my friend, Juan.

Ah, with everything.

You got it.

Now, listen to me for a second. I want you to cover me on this for a while,

you? You are two hours late for a stakeout, detective.

Well, I promise I'll make it up to you. I will make it up to you. Look,

Scalini's been at the liquor store since it opened.

See, uh, I never got a chance to thank you for helping me out at the

Of course, now that I'm out on the street, I realize everybody's crazier

am.

Say lovey.

On the house.

I want the money and I want it now.

Stop it. Forget it. I paid you. That's all there is.

I really need your help. This is a big one. Why do I think I know what you're

going to say next?

My father needs my help.

Chief? This is absolutely the last piece of slack I'm cutting you, detective.

What you just did is an example of everything I detest.

Are you talking to me?

Yes. Now let her go.

You're gonna wish you slipped in today, boy.

I would not do that.

Back off, man!

Chief, I gotta go. Good luck, Peter.

Hey, Blake, you still need a volunteer for that vice gig tomorrow?

The transvestite porno ring?

Yeah. No, it's exactly stuff. Thanks for volunteering.

What? Make sure you get a leather mini and stiletto heels that match.

Please, Kane, I appreciate your concern, but I can't handle it.

Ah.

Yeah, you go squat over there like a woman hop along.

You're gonna bleed, boy.

Jimmy!

Mind your own business, pal.

Back off.

You okay, baby?

This is how the West is, Juan.

It's a joke.

How the West is, Juan.

You did good. Nice move. Western civilization.

Nice kick.

Thanks.

We're being followed.

I know.

How long have you known that?

For several minutes.

Could you share these things with me now and then? I would really appreciate it.

Okay, we'll lose him.

Still there. I know you're still there.

Is there nothing else you can do?

Okay. All right. You guys want me to do something else or do something else?

Hang on.

That was much better.

Thanks.

We must take Juan to a place of safety before we can talk to Keith.

Could take him to the precinct.

No, on second thought, we better go to my place.

Good -looking apartment.

Your library surprises me.

Why's that?

I was expecting to find bestsellers, not books on Eastern wisdom, especially

among all these other trappings of the West.

Well, what's wrong with a little comfort? I've worked hard for it.

You would not understand.

You have never felt loss or suffering.

Whoa.

Wait a minute. Are you saying that because I never marched into Yanaman

Look, Juan, I know more about pain and loss than you'll ever realize.

We must go now, young Peter.

I won't leave.

I hate the orphanage.

You have only seen it from the outside.

I don't care.

I'm not going there.

You can't make me go there.

You're not my father.

My father's dead.

I'll go where I want to go.

And where's that?

A place you can be with my father.

One day, I promise, you will find that place.

Good luck, Pete.

We're out.

Peter, good to see you again.

Peter.

I seem to have lost you.

So tell me about Pia.

We met at the university.

At the time, I did not know who her father was.

Once he discovered her involvement in our movement, he sent her to America.

I have not seen her since.

So how will you feel when you see her again?

I don't know.

Yes, yes, yes.

Red is certainly in the season.

You can both wear it into the office or either to a dinner night out.

As you can see, it comes with a matching belt and purse.

Can I help you, gentlemen?

I am here to see Tia Lang.

I'm sorry, but Miss Lang is busy with customers at the moment.

Here's a card.

Um, Mr.

Link Wong has traveled many miles to see his friend.

Look, fellas, I'm just doing my job here.

Wait here.

A badge.

Symbol of authority.

You have a problem with that?

It works.

Be patient.

I've never heard of a Mr. Wan.

And you can come back when you've got a search warrant.

And we will wait here for you.

You shouldn't be

here.

I will go with you.

You certainly have done nicely for him.

You have adjusted well to the Western way.

I have heard you have done well, but I never thought you had sold out.

How dare you judge me?

After all our struggles, everything we stood for, people were beaten,

imprisoned. They died so that you could end up wearing gold and diamonds.

This is my choice.

Is it not that what we were fighting for? The right to choose?

Yes, but not this.

So you have to approve of our choices.

Is that it?

If that is true, then we are right back where we started.

I

still

believe in you.

In what you're fighting for.

It's just that I had to learn how to fight here for myself.

The rules are all different.

I know why you're here.

You're the tiger.

Your father.

Yeah.

This is where he is tonight.

Be careful.

I have the

tiger's address.

Hit this.

Give it to Bon Bon High.

Wait here.

What's with the ring?

I don't know.

Am I improved?

What do you think? Like fine wine.

It is time for some wine?

After the lesson.

After.

What do you want?

I could not dissuade the rest of the Dongli Quan.

But you and I have unfinished business.

Speak your heart.

You will not always be in the sanctuary of these temple walls.

One day, when you enter the real world, my world, I will be waiting

for you.

You are issuing a challenge.

Yes, and it will be to the death.

Mr. Cain, come with me.

Um, my friend must accompany me.

So is Hotamon.

Peter,

give them your gun.

I've been doing this a lot lately.

You will see him now.

Please come with me.

Well, that's exactly what I told

her.

It has been a long time fighting Cain.

And you must be one.

Excuse me.

There are some sections

missing. Those that are filled in.

Represent the other major Chinese leaders who have agreed to stand by us

the time comes.

That's what they did, not what I did.

Surely you know what it is like when the weak and innocent cry out for help.

I don't subsidize lost causes or failures, you traitor.

No, we would mean little.

And you, you and your secret altruistic society.

It's only Kwan who served my purpose.

I was never a part of it. Everyone leave!

Now! I have always known that. You do not believe the

tiger can change its stripes.

A friend of yours.

I should kill you.

You would put a gun to the head of your own daughter.

She's a traitor.

She means nothing to me.

I'm sorry, Kane.

We have waited for this moment.

You all right?

Yeah.

I think you should have... The sign of the

tiger.

Putting this in place means nothing.

We do not have his support.

The courage you have shown today is worth more than the support of a dozen

you.

There will be

another tiger to take Bonbon High's position.

I will ensure that he will support your cause.

I wish you were coming with me.

Then when we rise again, I know we will be successful.

Whenever you need us, we will be there.

Well, see, that is excellent tea.

And it did not require a microwave.

The making of tea is a discipline, much like the learning of a kung fu form

or the practice of medicine.

It is largely a question of timing.

Hey, speaking of timing, I got a great joke for you guys.

Please.

Did I ever tell you the funniest joke in China?

It is a legend.

It has been told over and over again for 2 ,000 years.

Well, tell me.

Go on.

It does not translate into English very well.

Come on, tell me.

Well, two old men were walking down the road in Shanghai.

When I was young, there was a girl named Lady.

She was very beautiful.
