Jesus!

A dead body.

That chick sure did scare the hell out of me. Me too.

Hey, I bet you have something else on your mind.

Shit, I guess that makes us Pete and Tom's.

Yeah, well that's women for you.

Yeah, very funny

Unregistered for card reference.

Why do I have to go to court?

Didn't those two guys try to rape you?

No. No?

We three are very good friends.

Why did you cry for help then?

We were just having some fun.

They try to take your pants off.

It helps the excitement.

All right, that's enough.

Do you want to prefer charges against them?

Let them go.

We can

go now.

Come on.

What are you two trying to pull?

You better get back on the job.

Yes, sir.

Good job, Sylvia. Think of what would happen if you had told the... What of

it? What can you do if I did?

More

coffee,

honey?

Hey,

come on, eat up.

Time to go, dear.

Let's go.

Don't forget your books, honey. We don't want to be late, huh?

Is that the car?

Yeah. Yeah, that's the one.

Come on. OK.

What's up?

Speaking. You what? Where?

I'll be right over.

Doc, please help me.

They've taken John. What am I going to do? We've just taken our kid to school

and saw this U-Haul truck stopped in the road here. John went over to take a look

and suddenly these guys grabbed him and kidnapped him. Which way did they go?

They went that way up the hill.

I didn't intend to, sir.

You were trying to save John.

But you didn't have to kill.

You're in the wrong job.

I'm afraid there's no way I can help you out of this one.

Bob, get your ass in here. Sir. Come on.

Take him out.

Go on.

I'm sorry, Don.

Sir, he... I don't want to hear about it. Now back on the job.

We've got permission to see Mr. Wong.

Okay.

Open up!

Hey, Don.

Don.

Diane, hello.

I'm sorry, Don. I shouldn't have called you.

Oh, forget it.

I'm so sorry, Don.

I guess you know you'll be inside for at least a year. A year?

It's nothing.

Not you, him.

Hey.

What would you like?

Anything else, miss?

Sit down.

I'm sorry, I stand when I'm serving.

Well, is that so?

They like you and they want to make friends with you. I have plenty of

friends.

Do you know who he is?

If you do as he tells you, you don't have to be a waiter, you know. Well,

thank you. But I'm more than happy with my job.

That's ridiculous.

Here. Do you still think you're a cop? What's wrong?

What's the matter, sir? This guy's service is terrible.

Sorry, I apologize.

Okay, come on.

Oh, did you hear that?

How's it going, man?

Not too bad. At least I'm picking up a lot in tips.

Cheers.

Your bill, sir.

Anything else, sir?

Give him 500.

Right.

That's for you.

How's your hand?

It's OK. Look, I'm 500 bucks richer.

You're a smart boy, Don.

That guy's no fun to mess with. How come?

Because he's the big shot in Frisco.

You'll be in danger if you meddle with him.

A big shot? He's just a jerk.

The boss wants you.

You can go tell your boss I'm working.

If our boss wants you, your dad will do what he says.

It's all right.

He didn't mean to be rude. He'll leave now.

Okay, we'll wait on the hill.

Listen, Don.

Reconsider. You'd better go.

Where's the bus?

I'm glad you came, kid.

I can use you.

Why should I work for you?

Because I can give you five grand a month.

Can't you offer a better deal? I can even get you back on the police force if

you want. I see. You want me to be your agent in the police.

But why pick on me?

I like having Chinese friends around me.

Why is that?

They're obedient.

You can see. I use a lot of Chinese assistants.

There are exceptions.

I only know two kinds of people, those who obey me and those who die.

I don't want to know people like you, OK?

And I am not dead yet.

I'll give you time to think about it.

You have till Friday morning at seven o'clock.

Come on.

Oh, hey, come on. All right. Oh,

boy.

What a night.

Hey, what are you saying? Shit, I'll get you back in there, please.

And I'll give you a bribe. Oh, yeah? Yeah.

All right. See you.

Hold it, you guys.

Get out of here. Leave it to me.

Hey.

Police, what are you guys doing?

Did you see who did it some Chinese guys

How much was stolen?

Well, I haven't checked the exact amount, but it could be well over a

million dollars.

I find it strange. None of the doors were forced open. Really? Yes, that's

right. I just don't understand it at all.

But then how did they get it?

Newman.

Doc's on to something.

What's going on, Mom? Shut up.

Why didn't you report it? We don't know anything about it.

Don't you find it odd that a man was killed right there in your garden and

yet you knew nothing about it?

We really didn't know anything about it till you arrived.

Are you saying that you would have hidden the corpse had we not come? What?

No, wait.

Sit down, Captain.

You realize the dead man was a policeman?

And a bank was robbed yesterday.

Did you know that? No, we don't.

Oh, you don't? We really don't.

It was done by Chinese.

You didn't know that, or did you? We've been honest residents here for 30 years

and we've never done anything wrong.

We didn't even go out last night.

You didn't need to have gone out. You could have just sat here and given

orders to them.

But you can check on me. I'm an honest businessman.

I'm not saying that you killed him yourself.

But then you're not in the clear either.

Anyway, it's murder one.

What's more, this is a serious case. But understand, I got nothing against you

personally.

One moment, please.

Give him a thousand. No, we can't do that because we haven't done anything.

If we give him money, that will make it look bad.

But didn't you hear what he said?

He said he had nothing against us.

You know that means he wants us to pay him. Let's think it over.

We mustn't do anything rash.

With the cops here, we're in a mess already.

They all go for money anyway, so why not get rid of him?

Here's a little something to buy your men some drinks.

The bank lost over a million dollars.

And you're only offering me a grand.

But I had nothing to do with the robbery.

you do that why would you want to bribe me if you're really innocent come with

me you know this guy yes sort of

naturally he's one of your men nonsense that man works in a restaurant that's

where i've met him i'm afraid it's not that simple oh what are you

doing here uh name's chow

And I'm representing the Jews.

I'm here to bail them out. What's the figure?

You can't do that. They're prime suspects.

We might interfere with witnesses if I let them out on bail.

Bob. Sir.

Take them both then.

Let's go.

Well, I'll think of another way.

What do you want me for?

I've got some bad news for you.

Your friend John Summer, he's been murdered.

Who did it? Tell me, how did it happen?

Who do you think you are?

Making an investigation, you think you're still a cop?

We've been making inquiries. You two were together last night.

Where'd you go after you left him?

I went home.

But who can prove that?

Well, no one. I live by myself.

Then you're a suspect as well. I got to arrest you.

Newman, you know you can't do that, not without evidence.

You better leave me out of it. You better be searching for the real

murderers, because there's no way you can pin that charge on me.

in real trouble, old man.

I think you'd better admit it. But why should I? I haven't done anything.

We'll make it easy on you if you decide to cooperate.

But I haven't committed any crime.

You're just making trouble for us, aren't you?

I'll sue you.

Go ahead, sue.

Where's your witness?

Get smart.

I will really have to get tough on you. Got it?

Really? You can't get away with it. My lawyer will bring it all out in court.

Oh? You won't even make it to court.

Huh.

You've been a cop.

You should know better. You can't break in.

I'm sorry, but since my best friend died here, I must do some investigation.

I'm looking for new leads.

Boy, did you scare me. I thought there was another corpse.

You know, baby, you got a lot of smart up front.

Do you want to come in and have a drink?

But it's illegal.

So what's the penalty if I come into the house?

None if I invite you.

All right. Then you're on, baby.

Beer? No, thanks. I don't drink in the daytime.

So be honest.

You don't think we killed your friend?

You know that some Chinese did it. So you can't blame me for suspecting, you

know.

There are lots of Chinese living around here. For instance, there are a bunch of

guys living at number 16. Why don't you check them?

But what I've been wondering about is your parents are now in prison. And you

don't seem to care.

Do they look like murderers?

No. But what do murderers look like?

I think you better cooperate with me. It's the only way to prove their

innocence. I don't see what you can do. My boyfriend's brother's a big shot in

San Francisco.

He'll get my parents out.

That's my boyfriend now.

Hi.

Sorry, I have to go out.

Tell them to work out by themselves.

Sure.

Hey, boss wants you to practice by yourselves.

You stay where you are.

That's enough There, the loot's over there.

Sorry, but I'm not looking for watches.

I don't care if you're on the wrong side of the law.

I'm looking for something.

You stay right where you are, buddy.

I have no reason to kill him either, right?

You must believe me.

Do you have any other evidence besides this shirt?

That bastard, I'll get the truth out of him.

Now, tell me, did I find that shirt in your home or not?

No.

Stop it.

That's enough. This police station isn't a boxing ring.

I tell you, this guy killed John.

You check the bloodstains on that shirt.

You're no longer a cop.

What right did you have to search his house?

Now, if you had your suspicions about him, you should have reported to me. Get

back to washing your dishes.

You what?

And you're letting him go free? But I can't arrest him on your word alone.

Newman. You son of a bitch.

You asked for it.

Where do you think you're going?

Los Angeles.

Is that so?

You can't get away.

Maybe the law can't get you, but I'll make sure you pay for what you did.

I didn't mean to kill your friend.

Did you also rob the bank?

But I wasn't in it alone.

Who's behind this?

You contact him right now.

All right.

It's the chief here.

Chief, this is Alan.

The old man got something for you.

Meet you at the usual place.

OK, I'll be right there.

I'm here, boss.

Are you surprised to see me?

You again?

Didn't I warn you to stay out of this?

Your chance to tell me what it's all about.

It's all my planning. I don't mind telling you.

And what about the Chu family?

What happens to them?

Well, they're just out of luck.

Well, things aren't going to work that way, though.

because you don't have enough firm evidence.

They won't make it to court.

They're going to die in jail tonight.

Suicide, it'll be on the report.

You bastard, Newman.

You won't get away with it.

The case ends with their death and the money from the bank will all be mine.

Newman, you son of a bitch. Damn you. You're a disgrace to the force.

No use getting excited because you are going to die.

You're not gonna get out of here alive.

Who's calling?

Listen carefully.

Your client, Mr. Chu, is in grave danger at the moment.

Who are you?

Hello. Hello.

Hello. Hello.

I don't think you dare go to the police.

So why don't you just report to your boss?

They'll sign your name on this paper.

No way. I'm not going to sign a blank sheet of paper.

Who knows what you'll write on it later?

Your confession to the crime. There's no out, Pop.

I see you're trying to frame me, aren't you?

I'll even write out your will.

Vading that you alone committed... both the robbery and murder.

You going to sign it?

Well, have you thought it over?

me for getting rough.

Help me!

Somebody help me!

Stop that.

I saw you. What did you see? Tell me. He tried to commit suicide and I stopped

him just in time.

It's not my fault.

If you want to kill yourself, go ahead.

Listen, I'm warning you. If anything should happen to my client, you're in

trouble.

What is going on here? Mr.

Chow, he tried to strangle me. Really, it's the truth.

Please help me to get out.

Don't worry, I'll get you out as soon as possible.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Hey, this lawyer is a headache.

Get rid of him.

OK.

I'm Chow, the lawyer.

I would like to talk to you.

All right, come in.

Have a seat.

Now then, first things first, I want to thank you.

What for?

For that phone call.

Things would be real bad if you hadn't have called me.

What do you mean?

What are you talking about?

Don't play dumb.

You must know that I'm a lawyer.

Well, what's the purpose of this visit then?

The black cop that was murdered.

Your friend.

I want you to be a witness.

I got nothing to do with it.

Why would you want me?

Because it's obvious that the Jews are innocent of this crime.

I don't know anything.

Yes, you do.

I'm sure.

I dare say you know a lot.

Especially since a victim was your best friend.

You're more than interested.

To tell the truth, I just want to find the murderer, that's all.

Nothing else.

Good.

Listen to me.

The bank robber and the murderer are the same person. You see, it's one and the

same case.

Now then, if my client's found guilty, then the real culprits will be allowed

to go free.

There's a big criminal gang behind all this, I'm certain of it.

If you really want to avenge your friend, then tell me all you know.

I need all the help I can get, you understand?

Okay, I'll think it over.

Good. Hope to hear from you soon.

Goodbye.

Come on. Come on.

Hi.

Morning, boss. Morning.

Didn't show up.

You called him again last night, but he still hasn't arrived.

Send some men to get rid of him.

Right, boss.

OK, you know what to do.

What do you guys want? Just want to find out what that lawyer Chow told you

yesterday.

It's none of your business.

None of our business.

Do you want to join him?

You know he's dead, huh? Why, you bastard, you.

Listen, whoever gives us trouble must die.

The boss ordered you to meet him this morning, but you didn't show up. So

you're gonna die.

Believe me fellas, you're welcome to try.

Did you fight with Norman last night?

No.

Did you know Norman is dead?

No, I didn't.

It was murder, that's what.

Where were you last night?

Me? Why?

Do you suspect me, sir?

Well, first off, do you have an alibi at all?

I was with Alan Wu.

That's the Alan you had a fight with?

Yeah, that's right.

I'm finding this hard to believe.

I'll check it.

Send in Wu.

Sir. Tell me, were you with Wang last night?

Yes,

I was, sir.

And what were you doing?

Where were you?

Tell him the truth.

We had a drink at my place, sir. We did.

Really?

You're sure you didn't do anything else?

We'd had a misunderstanding.

So I went to apologize.

He invited me in.

All right.

We're very good friends, sir.

Get this joker out of here.

You white one. Come on, get out.

Found some interesting things out about Noman from his bank accounts and

diaries, which prove that he is somehow...

connected with all these robberies.

But, sir, why are you telling me all this?

A bank was robbed, an officer was killed, a lawyer and a captain, and I

believe all these crimes are the work of one gang, and no man was somehow

involved. But they have nothing to do with me.

Don't take me for a fool, Wong. I won't arrest you.

But you can't leave San Francisco.

I may want to talk to you again.

OK, I won't leave, sir.

Now, get out.

So many people.

They're all my brothers, too.

Why don't you wait here? I'd like to talk to her alone.

This is the best room in the house.

Like Maroon?

Very nice.

Many girls say they find it exciting.

I have a favor to ask you.

What is it?

My parents are locked up in jail.

Paul said you could get them out.

Oh, really?

I don't run the police station.

But Paul said you'd help, and he never lies.

Is that so?

And you believed him.

I might be able to help you out.

We'll mean pulling.

A few strings cost some money.

Now, do you really want to save your parents?

Of course.

Or else I wouldn't be marrying Paul so soon.

No wonder he likes you.

You're so lovely.

Yes, he's right. I'm the only one who can save your parents.

But on one condition.

What's that?

Have some fun with me.

I think you've misunderstood.

I'm not that sort of girl.

Playing hard to get, huh?

Stop

it!

You two-faced bastard, you!

You got both of her parents arrested, didn't you?

We know you robbed the bank.

You killed that cop.

And now you're trying to rape her as well. God damn you.

Brother, you're an animal, you son of a bitch.

Get lost.

No, I won't. I've had enough of your shit.

Sorry to bother you. May I come in?

Sure.

What should I do?

Please help me out.

Tell me, what should I do?

Look, there's no way I can help you out if you've had a row with your boyfriend.

Can you stop saying that?

I'm here because I have no place else to go. What do you mean, no place to go?

My parents are in great danger, and I don't know what to do.

Please help me. Oh?

You mean that...

Your boyfriend can't help you.

Please don't mention him. I know now the robbery and the murder were all done by

his gangster brother.

Oh, the so-called San Francisco Big Shot.

Big Shot?

Don't be sarcastic.

He's the man who framed my parents.

What's more, he might even kill them.

How do you know?

Because he tried to rape me.

Paul had a row with him over that. And that's when the truth came out.

Is that so?

Mr. Wong, my parents are really in danger. Help me.

Why not report to the police?

It's useless. I have no evidence.

Besides, the police won't believe me anyway.

Stay here. I'll go and see what I can do.

Hey, no. It's too dangerous.

Don't worry.

If I'm not back in three hours, you call the police.

What do you want?

To see your boss.

Right there.

Boss, that guy Wong has come by himself.

He must be up to something.

What do we do?

That guy has guts.

Let him in.

Let him come in.

Nice to see you come inside

Thought it over?

I didn't think it over.

But I was laid off by the restaurant. I need work.

Never mind that.

I like you.

With me, you'll soon be making a fortune.

Is that so?

What do I do?

Tell me.

Rob, smuggle, peddle drugs, anything that makes money.

How does that sound to you? Think you'll like it?

Aren't you afraid of the law?

What I have?

There's money and money can work magic. It's the only thing that counts in this

life.

Don't you know that? What is my position then?

I can get you back onto the force. I can fix it.

You'll replace Newman.

Are you really that powerful?

Seems you don't believe me.

Let me show you something.

I wonder what your next surprise is.

Right.

Keep your eyes open, kid.

That's what I deal in, kid.

You didn't expect that, did you?

Will you join us?

I'm interested, but I have an appointment.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Hold it.

Who are you trying to fool?

What do you mean?

I know you didn't come here to team up with me.

Think I'm stupid?

All right, then let's get it over with.

Tell me, did you plan the bank robbery?

Sure.

And did your men kill my friend John Summer?

Yeah.

Well, now that you've actually confessed to the crimes, I'm going to arrest you.

Arrest me.

It's too late.

You won't leave here alive.

I got in, I'll get out and nobody here is going to stop me.

You want to try it?

No, I'll just stand by and watch and see what you can do about it. Get him.

You've done a good job. We'll take care of him now.

Come on, you come with me.

Come on.

That's it.

I have no use for a gun, sir.

You're the pride of the force.

Thank you, sir.

Yes, sir.

Aren't you afraid of danger, Tom?

I learned to live with danger.

Besides, I've chosen law and order as my profession. I expect it.

A tiger, no stopping him.

Oh, Mr. Wong.

Thanks for saving my life.

You've no idea.

Just how grateful I really am. Thanks again.

Thanks for helping us, Don.

It was my pleasure, sir. Gotta be going. So long. Goodbye.
