Cut!

Okay, that's a print.
That was great, Billy.

Okay, everybody get the -

Eddie, get up there and see
what the hell's happening.

Billy, are you all right?

That thing crashed exactly where you were.

I know. I know.

Watch it up there.

- It was an accident.
- Okay, that's a wrap.

Great fight, Billy. Really nice.

Be sure you get tomorrow's call sheets.

And please,
don't get lost on the way to location.

Time is money, gentlemen.

"Time is money. Time is money."

So you got in here finally.

We haven't heard from you.

You know,
I once knew a super rock group in London.

Called themselves the flight crew.

They had brilliant potential. Brilliant.

Yeah, but they were, uh, very stubborn.

Their lead guitarist
lost a couple of fingers one night.

Just like that.

Hands and feet have been known
to disappear.

Lights, they fall out of the sky.
All kinds of things happen.

A man...

Has got to have all of his parts
to make it.

Don't you agree with that, Billy?

- Get the hell out of here!
- Ah, well. It's, uh...

Getting a little late.

Well, I'll be sitting right there
by the telephone...

Just waiting for you to call.

But Patience,
that's not one of our virtues.

Don't be a slow learner, Billy.

Oh, you shouldn't have done that.

No, that was a very big mistake.

I'm here to take you to dinner.

Hey, Billy, can we get spaghetti tonight?

We've got one more number
to get today, Ann.

Thanks a lot, Charlie.
You're messing around with my love life.

Is the boss upstairs? Yeah.

You're looking a little pale.

What you need is a good, nourishing meal,
something that will stick to your ribs.

You-you - you beautiful bastard.

I'll get you another one.

Dr. land?

Doctor, steiner's here.
We're all next door.

- Yes? What?
- Steiner's here.

Oh. We'll get right to it.

Good afternoon, steiner.

Good afternoon, doctor.

- How was your trip to New York?
- Uneventful.

The heat was terrible. God-awful.

Not much better here. Humid.

So much for the weather report.

I'm not the only one who just arrived.

How about your trip to Berlin, stick?

It went pretty much as you figured.

Now that, uh, he's the big star...

I couldn't reason with him.

He said he was pulling out.

Then he threatened me.

Oh, my, my, my, my.

The rest of it was in the papers.

That's when he committed suicide, huh?

He just, uh,
got up and jumped out the window.

Oh, my.

The merger of s and s records
with globe has been completed,

and construction has started on the new
record-pressing plant in Buenos Aires.

But more important and more immediate

is the upcoming championship fight
in Macau.

- I know we're getting worldwide press.
- For that and plenty more.

All the posters have been approved,

and the ad campaign.

Best one we've ever had.

Looks good. Looks great.

Besides the gate and our TV rights,

it's generating the kind of
international betting we'd hoped for.

We ought to turn over about $30 million.

That was the computer's readout
as of today.

Yes, well,
the fight's only three weeks off.

I assume your training is going well,
Carl.

- You look fit.
- I'll be ready.

We've got a little problem in Detroit.

Couple of reluctant ballplayers.

Hakim, think you can fly to Detroit,

handle that,
and be back in time for the fight?

Figure it's done, man.

Also, I'm afraid we're gonna have to
do something about Billy lo.

I was wondering about that.
I was gonna ask how that was going.

He refuses to sign our management
contract, but that's not what bothers me.

He's starting to shoot off his mouth.
He's holding out.

We've given him so many chances.
An amazing amount of resistance.

And then - then there's that girlfriend.

- Ann Morris.
- I went to talk to her today.

Her last album's on the charts
and doing great in Australia and France.

She says she wants to talk to Billy
about her contract before she signs.

Doctor...

I think we ought to squeeze a little.

Yes, just squeeze a little,

would you say?

Billy? Yeah.

I had another visit today
from one of those syndicate men.

Did he threaten you?

Well, not exactly.
I mean, not in so many words.

But I knew I was being threatened.

Billy, do you think
it's worth holding out?

I mean, I've heard some pretty ugly things
about those guys.

Ugly stories.

If we're stopped,

don't do anything that will give them
an excuse to hurt you.

Ann, I love you,
and I don't want you hurt.

Trust me to handle this.

I would like miss Morris to leave.

I'm afraid we can't do that, Billy.

We're all in this together.

Now, would you mind
stepping out of the car?

No matter what happens,
don't get out of the car.

You've got until tomorrow morning
to call us.

It's the last time we're gonna ask, Billy.

[Groanin - Billy! '

No!

Please, stop it!

Please, don't!

Billy!

Billy!

He hasn't got too much time.

You tell him that.

We want to hear from him in the morning.

Billy, I've always been straight with you.

You don't have too many choices.

You and Ann are nothing to them.
You're just another piece of property.

Just one of a couple of thousand
of public personalities that they own...

All of or a piece of.

It seems like a good thing at the moment.

They take care of everything -

your booking, your salary, your taxes.

If you need 5,000 in your pocket,
you've got it.

It's later...

That you start to realize
what it's costing you.

I don't have to remind you
about Charlie wang.

We know the pressure they put on him,
and we know they called him in for a talk.

The next day,
he was fished out of the harbor.

But going along with them
isn't much better

You've come up fast, Billy.

Your pictures are grossing big
all over the world.

You're an international celebrity,
and they smell that money.

Thank you.

You can sign with them
and live very well...

Or you can defy them and go to the police,
which means you won't live so well,

if at all.

Is it your advice to let them own us?

I just don't want to...

Write an obituary on you.

I like you too much.

Which is my cue
to get my ass down to the bureau.

I've got a midnight deadline
in the states.

I can't allow it.

It is better to die a broken piece of Jade

than to live a life of Clay.

Quit. You've got enough money.

- Tell them to go to hell.
- I can leave this all behind.

I don't need this if you don't need it.

There has to be another answer.

I've got to find one.

The Chinese opera is in town.
Maybe see your uncle.

Yeah, he just got back.

I'll go to the theater tomorrow.
Good idea.

All three of them are leaving
the restaurant. What should we do?

Don't lose them.

Andre, from now on,
I want you to coordinate

all your efforts
with the ad agency in New York.

By the way,
what are the odds where you are now?

Well, then keep the publicity going
about Carl's rumored sprained ligament.

Don't give the impression
that the fight's gonna be canceled,

just that he's in pain
and might be at a disadvantage.

Got that? Ciao.

The odds are a little too heavy on Carl,
especially in London.

Yes. A good idea to even that up a bit.

Oh, by the way, what -
what about Billy lo? What -

he, uh, was told to call earlier today.
He has the number to call.

Do we know where he is at this moment?

Well, we always know where he is.

Well, then a final warning, eh, Carl?

Yes, pasqual. You go with him.

Pasqual loves to fight, yes.

Let me use your brush. Thanks.

- Billy, good to see you.
- Hi, John. Glad you're back.

Your uncle's in his room.

Billy! Come in, Billy. Come in. Hey. Hey.

- You go ahead.
- Ah, it's good to see you, boy.

Sit down. Sit down.

We do not see you much
since you got to be a big man.

Oh, yes, I know.
I've been running for months.

Yeah. Very busy, huh?

I heard that the syndicate is after you.

- You must be a big man.
- How did you know that?

It's a small business.

I can't join them,
and I can't be forced to join.

You have just described a problem
as old as man.

You're not unique.

There is a solution
I do not think you've considered.

When you get to the top,
you understand how far it is to fall...

But if you think very little
of yourself...

Then you can be pushed off
and fall very easily.

What is your opinion of yourself?

I believe I deserve to be where I am.

I've worked hard for it.

Then don't let them push.

They will never let you rest. You push.

You mean kill?

Integrity can be an expensive thing.

What is the price of your integrity?
What are you willing to pay?

There is another person as well, a girl.

If I fight, she may be hurt.

Send her away.

Do you need help?
I know some men who can help you.

No.

You're not allowed back here.
Get out! Get out!

Another message, Billy.

The Chinese syndicate wants to make sure
they're riding with a winner...

So they're willing to buy
a little insurance.

A million and a half dollars in cash

will be arriving in Macau
just before the fight.

They're gonna drop it
right on your doorstep.

Clean money?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, very crisp and very clean.

The cash started out in Nassau.

It's going through Tommy's bank
in Mexico City right now.

We're watching its progress.

Fine. Fine.

- Oh, Carl.
- Yes, sir?

What about Billy lo?
What's happened there?

Nothing. Not a word.

He's not gonna call.

Rebellion is contagious, doctor.

Let's close the book.

What an unfortunate waste,

casting aside his life like that.

What a pity.

Hello.

- Hello, Ann. Its me.
- Billy, where have you been?

I've been trying to reach you all day.
I've been worried about you.

I've been worried about you too, darling.

Ann, listen carefully.
I want you to meet me on the 6:00 ferry.

You'll find me in the passenger section.
Do you understand?

Okay. Billy, are you all right?

Yes. To tell the truth,
I feel much better now.

Billy.

- Billy, you've been hurt.
- It doesn't matter.

Ann, I want you to go back
to the states for a while.

Leave you here?

I have to work this problem out by myself.

It would only be for a while.
A couple of months.

No way, Billy. I - I can't do that.

Look, you can't help me,
but if you stay, I can hurt you.

Maybe you should change your name
and disappear for a while.

Only one scene left in this film.
I'll be dropping out of sight myself.

Billy, I can't leave you.

- What are you up to?
- Not a thing.

We have to separate.

Ann, I'd like to live with you
a long time.

You know?

Grow old together.

/t was very strange, Jim.
Not like him. Very secretive.

It sounds like he's made a decision
to run, which would be smart.

No, I don't think he's running at all.
I think it's just the opposite.

There was a determination about him,
like he was going to fight.

Jim, I know he has a call
at the studio this afternoon.

Would you mind meeting me there?
I'm really worried about him.

Of course. I'll be right over.

- Stage four.
- Yeah. I got you.

David? Yeah.

Keep it together.

Cut. Print it.

Okay, turn around, guys.
Let's set up for Billy's run.

Okay, move it along.
Get ready for the reverse angle.

Let's go, fellas.

Gentlemen, these are blanks.

Only aim upward.

There's a wad of paper that comes out
and can injure someone.

- We're ready for you, Billy.
- Okay.

I want you to come running
out of the building like hell.

I'll cue the guns on your leap,
and you do the fall.

- Okay?
- Okay.

Okay, let's walk through it once.

Billy, over here.

What are you doing here?
Take her to the airport, Jim.

Billy, something isn't reading right.
Do you need help?

I'm going to break it wide open.
The police have got to get into it.

And when it explodes,
I don't want Ann here.

Get her on a plane.

Billy - - please, Jim.

Here we go.

Everybody settle down.

Ready.

Okay, ready to roll.

Okay. This is a take.

Quiet, please.

Okay, roll sound.

Speed.

Action!

Cut!

Hey, Billy, what's the matter?

Hey, what's happening here?

What happened?

- What's wrong?
- My god! He's hurt.

Somebody call a doctor!
Don't just stand there!

The bullet fragmented as it passed through
at an upward angle,

literally smashing the bone structure
of the face.

What are his chances of having
a normal appearance?

There'll be extensive structural changes,
a great deal of scar tissue.

He'll be permanently altered, of course,
but presentable, in any case.

Hmm.

Thank you, doctor.

Hey, Billy. Are you awake?

- Yes.
- I've been talking with your surgeon.

The surgery will be tomorrow.

This is a very private hospital.
No one will know.

Good.

Then you still want to
go through with this?

Yes.

The only reason I've considered this,
Mr. lo,

is the simple argument -

should you walk upon the street,

undoubtedly there'll be another attempt
upon your life.

Then you agree?

There will have to be a complete
falsification of documents,

death certificate...

And somebody will have to inform the press

you've taken a turn for the worse -
relapse.

Then there's the question
of a change of identity.

A new identification
has already been taken care of.

I should tell Ann.

No.

No one else must know.
If she knows, she could be in danger.

A public funeral? Open casket?

After all, he is a celebrity.

Don't worry, John.
It'll be a very believable funeral.

They have some interesting people here.

Could be a story.

Miss Morris.

- You're dead.
- Come on, Ann.

Do you hear me? You're dead.

Cool it.

Excuse us.

Let us through. Easy.

Thank you.

No, Ann.

For $10, he could have you killed.

Yes, I understand it's cheap.

I'm glad you understand,

and I'm glad
you're pulling yourself together.

Oh, no. I'm not gonna cry anymore.

God knows
the police would like to nail them...

But there's no way to prove it.

Don't you understand anything?

Everybody looked at them,

but not one person could see anything!

The gentlemen from the Chinese syndicate
and the cash have arrived in Macau.

Fine, fine.

You sure it's a good idea, us stopping
at the sanitarium to see this Morris girl?

She's a very valuable piece
of merchandise.

And if we can bring her into the family,

it'll show all the other would-be rebels
how complete our control is.

You go ahead. I'll see you later.

- Hello, Mr. Marshall.
- Hello, doctor. How's Ann?

We're very pleased with her recovery.

It's been a...

Long haul.

- Three weeks?
- Mm-hmm.

For a trauma severe enough
to bring on physical paralysis,

a three-week recovery is extremely good.

Oh, well, may I go down to see her?

Absolutely. If you hadn't come out,
I would've called you.

She's ready to see a familiar face.

You must understand she's still depressed.

Is it time to go in?

- Hi, Annie.
- Jim!

Oh, I, uh, brought you a little present.

It's beautiful.

- I hear nothing but good things about you.
- No lies?

No lies. Would a newspaperman lie?

Now I'm getting worried.

- Jim, actually I'm feeling a lot better.
- Good.

At least I'm able to deal with people now.

You know,
maybe you should get out of here,

go back to the states
when you're feeling better, hmm?

I've been thinking about that too.

But I don't want to yet.

Not just yet.

But more important than that,

I think we ought to try to see for
ourselves what's going on in her head,

what kind of a threat she could be to us.

I don't want to leave that to Carl
or to anybody else.

We're here.

There.

That's the newspaperman, Jim Marshall.

I've got a hunch that one of these days

we're gonna have to cram his typewriter
up his ass.

On?

The blonde.

Good afternoon, miss Morris.

We haven't officially met,
but my name is steiner.

- This is Dr. land.
- How do you do, miss Morris?

We were informed of your improvement.

- Oh, you are so beautiful. Beautiful.
- What do you want?

We were just passing by.

We wondered if we could do
anything for you.

- Is there something you might need?
- There's nothing I need. Okay?

Your album is doing well on the charts.
It's gonna make lots of money.

We know, miss Morris,
what has happened,

the terrible strain
that you have been under.

We hope that possibly
we can assist somehow.

You know,
maybe get your career moving again.

Get out!

There's nothing - - get out!

It's Dr. land's intention
to try to help you, Ann.

He could be very -
you murderers!

Get out of here. Get out!

Get out of here!

Rude bitch.

Well, one rebel begets another.
It's the Billy lo syndrome.

A virulent disease.

Often terminal.

Stick, she seemed to know you.
Your face did something for her.

Never met her.

We have to go to Macau.
We'll see about her when we return.

Bitch!

What are you up to, Billy?

I'm giving myself a new face.

Before and after.

Much better.

I've already told you, Billy, you're going
to have a normal appearance again.

You'll see. Wait till tomorrow,
when those bandages come off.

Dr. Ferguson,
please report to the nurses' station.

Well, excuse me.

Dr. Ferguson,
please report to the nurses' station.

The new Billy lo.

Mister, can I hire you
to follow that hydrofoil?

I won't be able to stay with him
once they get out of the harbor.

Those hydrofoils do 40 easy.

Where do you think they're going?

I've seen that boat in Macau
a couple of times.

That's what I think.
Maybe we could get a head start on them.

Well, it's only an hour's ride
in any case.

Macau.

- Yeah.
- I know who killed Billy.

- Ann?
- Yes. Jim, I know who killed him.

I'm not sure I heard you right.
What did you say?

They came to the hospital.
One of them was at the shooting.

Look, Ann,

why don't you come in,
and we'll take it to the police?

Where are you? Did you leave the hospital?

Never mind. The police aren't the answer.

Hey, mister,
is that the guy you've been waiting for?

That's him.

I'll make it worth your while
to wait for me.

You're not gonna Rob a casino, are you?
I don't want to run a getaway boat.

No, no.
Will you be here, no matter how late?

I got nothing better going.

Parade, parade. Damn it to hell!
Can't we get out of here somehow?

Back this thing up or something.

There's a taxi behind us.

It will be ending soon,
and they will move to another street.

Give them the horn.

Let's get out of here. Run over 'em.

Chinese gold.

They've been waiting for an hour.

We were held up by a damn fool lion dance.

Oh, boy.

These characters.

Ah, well, well, well.

How do you do, doctor?
Very nice seeing you.

And how are you? Sit down.

Well, maybe -

maybe we don't need to even count it.

Maybe we'd better.

See you both at ringside.

Doctor?

Dr. land?

- Yes?
- The money's all here, every dollar.

I'd be surprised if it weren't.

Where did you come from?
Who are you? How did you get here?

Guards! Carl! Po!

Po! Guards! Guards!

Guards! Guards!

Guards! Guards! Guards!

Get him!

Carl!

Stay away from me, you bastard.

Carl! Come! Come!

- Get him! Get him.
- Carl, duck!

Somebody take care of the doctor.

Carl, let him go!

Carl, you damn fool, the fight's tonight!

Carl, come on back here!
You hear me? Carl!

You know, I don't understand it.

If some other organization
was trying to kill you,

they'd have just picked you off
with a rifle.

I can't place him, but there was...

Something there I recognized.

Stick is right. There was something
different about that man.

He not only wanted to kill,
he wanted to punish me as well.

One -
get back. Get back, Morris.

To your corner. To your corner.

Two - that corner.

Three, four -

six -

Hurting badly, as they have throughout -

Kill him, Carl!

All right. Back up. Back up!

Back. Get back. Get back.
It's gonna cost you a round, Miller.

Let it go.
What must be done is being done.

Billy?

One, two, three, four -

Back!

He retained his heavyweight crown
by knocking out lo chen

in two minutes, eight seconds
of the seventh round.

7he winner by knockou,

and still world's heavyweight champion,
Carl Miller!

Carl! Carl, you won! You won!

Carl, Carl, is there gonna be a rematch?
Carl, are you gonna fight this guy again?

Carl, did he hurt you in round four?

Carl, how soon
are you gonna have a rematch?

- Turn this way, Carl.
- Will there be a rematch, Carl?

Hey-hey! Hey!

Did he hurt you at any time?
Have you got any complaints?

I want to be looking beautiful
for the rest of these photographs.

There's plenty of champagne for everybody.
You won't get lonely.

- Who are you?
- I'm June.

This is my new girlfriend.

I'd like you to take
plenty of pictures of her.

Over here, honey. Over here.
Look over here at the camera, honey.

- Where are you from, honey?
- Kansas City.

Who the hell are you? Get goin', fella.

Christ! Billy lo.

Whoo!

Carl.

Carl, you all right?

Something's wrong!

Carl, what's happening? Carl?

Carl, open the door!

What's the matter in there?
Open the door.

You lose, Carl Miller.

Carl! Carl!

Look at him.

Jesus! Jesus, look at him!

He was killed

with a hundred people outside the door.

They found a wig and a face mask
of an old man. That's all.

Yes, srr.

And you
and the rest of the passive bodyguards

simply stood around,
you and a hundred other people.

- Isn't that true?
- Yes, sir.

You say the girl
is with the newspaperman now?

Yes.

You admitted
that you could have killed someone

in that state of mind.

Do you still think you recognized
Billy's voice?

I told you before.
I wouldn't mistake Billy's voice.

Can't you believe me?

That's one of my weaknesses.
I'm one of the world's most gullible men.

I'll take you home.

No, no. That's all right.
I have my car right outside.

You're sure?

You can leave this here, okay?

Yeah.

- She's coming back.
- Don't let her out of your sight.

And put a couple of fellas
following that newspaperman.

Yes, sir.

You two stay with Marshall.
We'll follow the girl.

Steiner.

I'm now convinced that the man
who attacked me was in disguise.

The way he moved.

You know something, doctor?

If I wasn't positive that Billy was dead -

did you look in the casket
at the mortuary?

Of course I looked in the casket.
He didn't look exactly the same.

But what the hell?
They never look exactly the same.

- Where was he buried?
- The Buddhist cemetery, hangzhou road.

Have him dug up.

Yeah, Marshall.

Hi, Jim.

Billy, I've heard all about it.

Ann is convinced you're alive.

I had to risk it. I thought she was
going to shoot Carl or one of the others.

Well, she still may kill someboaly.

I've got the gun, but if she sits around
and thinks about it,

- she might get the crazies again.
- Okay.

I'll meet her in the school
at southampton.

- What time?
- In an hour.

Okay. If I can find her.

I'll ring you up again at 10:00
to let you know how it went.

Fine.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Billy?

Billy?

I wasn't going to see you again.
I didn't want you to see me.

Billy, it's all right.
You have to know that.

No. Not to me, it isn't.

Maybe later.
But I have to get used to myself first.

The man she's talking to
has to be Billy lo.

Yes, well, we just had word
from the cemetery,

so I'm not in the least surprised.

Now, we're sending you some help.

They're close by
and should be there very shortly.

Ann, you could've been killed.

You would've been just one more life
they ruined.

Go back to the states, please.
Will you do that?

Billy, I can't.

Get in your car and go!
They're still a few blocks away.

Gol

Go!

They split. She's going to her car.

Where is he going?

To the other side of the orphanage,
I think.

Let a couple fellas follow him,

and take two more men and pick her up.

We can use her for bait.

Call him over.

Mr. Marshall.

Somebody wants to talk to you.

A little closer, Mr. Marshall.

Miss Morris was picked up tonight.

Billy's going to call you at about 10:00.

You tapped my phone.

How clever.

Tell Billy to come
to the tai yuen warehouse in kowloon...

At exactly 1:00 in the morning.

We'll let the girl go when Billy comes in.
One for one.

Why should I believe you'll do that?

Don't change the equation, Mr. Marshall.

One for one. Don't add any numbers.

Billy for the girl. It's that simple.

Oh, and Mr. Marshall...

You should be very, very careful.

You can learn a lot in a job like yours...

But knowledge can become
a terrible burden.

Good evening.

- Jim Marshall's desk.
- Is Jim there?

No, he's -

oh, hold on a second. He just walked in.

- Yeah.
- Hi, Jim.

Billy -

my phone is tapped.

Ann is being held by the syndicate.

I couldn't get her to leave.
Have you talked to them?

Just now. They want an exchange -
you for her, even up.

Or so they say.
You could go to the police.

No. That would just get her killed.

What do they want me to do?

Stick.

You'd better go over there
and back them up.

- Insurance.
- We've got six men over there already.

We had a pack of men at Macau.

Here he comes.

He's inside. Let's get him.

Ann?

Ann?

Ann?

Let's go!

Billy.

Billy, hurry!

We have to move quickly.

Billy, quick, they're across the street.
They're across the street. Hurry. Hurry!

It's barricaded. Try the windows.

Try to walk. Hurry.

Don't show yourself,
no matter what you hear.

Yeah, okay.

Let's go. Let's go.

You two take the aisles.

Take the front.

Chewy, look for the others.

You take the back. You take the back.

Take off the helmet.

Take off the helmet.

Chewy! Chewy!

Shit.

Where's the doctor?

Red pepper.

Red pepper restaurant?

Yeah.

Stick.

- Stick!
- I'd better alert hakim and pasqual.

Anybody in the warehouse?

- Po!
- Damn it, that's impossible.

Po!

How do you like that?

Hakim!

Hakim!

Hakim?

Hakim!

Glad you could finally make it, Billy.

Shit!

Wax!

Son of a bitch!

You dumb bastard! Goddamn -
