we both knew at our jobs

why did you go to the gambling places

huh

we're at the same Arrangement over a

long period of time

no policeman ever go to gambling Club

rude

I'm gonna have to tell you superiors

well it won't be the first time Uncle

Harry

I'm glad you guys are here

saves me some lung power

this is it I'll give it to you fast

there's a new Marshall in town

me

no Marshall means new rules

new rules means no more Street violence

you call it the gangs

I don't want to see their [ __ ] faces

unless they're bringing me spare ribs in

a restaurant

I don't care what you do get them jobs

catching cockroaches I don't care but

you get them off the streets nobody can

control the gangs

everybody knows that to pick a problem

captain

Chinatown behind you all the way in

favor of what you do you take gang kid

in the alley you put back over the head

beat them with Club

Chinatown behind you 100 100

because I'm going to need your help I'm

going to put a stop to all this bribe

paying and extortion to the gangs and I

want the help of all 60 families

Merchant Association I want you to pay a

minute wait a minute Captain this is

very difficult very very difficult

it's a long history

for thousands of years Chinese do not go

to the police

if they go to the police they'll get in

trouble

so I'll tell you straight

nobody will come to see you

no disrespect is intended to the police

by our remarks

but if the citizens of Chinatown regard

what you call extortion and bribery is

part of the course of doing business and

have felt that way for thousands of

years

why should you be so concerned

what about the ones that don't want to

pay okay

no Captain

when I first came to New York I worked

as a waiter in a restaurant

so something terrible happened because

my boss did not want to pay

I signed a complaint against a gang

leader who was arrested

next day he was out on the streets again

now six months go by before his trial

and the police chief was transferred to

the Bronx

this was what six or six or seven Chiefs

before McKenna seven

and the new Chiefs dropped the charges

three months later I got stabbed right

here sure

you must understand captain

to us

your Good Samaritan was a fool to risk

the security of his family to help a

stranger

you're too impressed with yourself

[ __ ] you

what did you say

I said [ __ ] you

I'm tired of all these Chinese days

Chinese dad

you people you think gambling extortion

corruption or kosher because it's a

thousand years old

all this thousand-year-old stuff it's a

lot of [ __ ] to me

this is America you're living in and

it's 200 years old so you better get

your clocks fixed

you know it's special and you're not

beyond the law any more than the Puerto

Ricans or the Pollocks

so we're all going to obey the law the

way it says

so start doing something about it and

fast

you're all going to suffer

you

can believe that

understand

Joey he's always early

I gotta complain about you already

well there's a line around the block

Harry Young was very upset about you

busting into his place of business on a

day of mourning

he says you're threatening the

arrangement we've always had with these

people is that true or what is this

arrangement I mean is it carved in stone

did it come out of a burning bush or

something what the hell did you rush in

there for and lose face made us lose

face you got no respect and we're just

sitting there having breakfast what kind

of evidence did you have to go in there

gutters these Chinese are going to

muscle across Canal they're going to

push the mafia out I'm talking Banks

offshoots of the Hong Kong trials

Stanley you're letting your imagination

run no like hell I am these people are

the biggest overall importance of heroin

in this country and the fact that we

Massacre but no one knows and in this

once quiet tourist oriented Community

the tourists are beginning to stay away

and the people here are beginning to ask

the dismaying question what is happening

to Chinatown

Chinatown yeah

Captain White can you give us any idea

who and what's behind this wave of

violence

after a thousand years of civilization

actually

do you want to know that now get that

goddamn thing out of my face

you you don't know you don't know

there's something between us

[Music]

Joey congratulations I hear Harry

Young's out and you're in let's do it

everything all right Joey do you mean my

favorite lady Connie this is Joey Thai

pleasure to meet you Mrs wife Hi how are

came up why don't you just order some

spare ribs or something I told you I got

a late shift tonight we can talk after

you really are something you know that

stuff

over here let's call it a truce how

about some good champagne Joey Mrs White

come this way

we have a knife or beauty captain

yeah she's a real Rock she's the best

by the way you must have heard we dug up

those two midgets they hit Harry's Place

found them in a soybean basement no I

didn't

my guess is somebody didn't want us to

find them

they don't think it might have been the

friends of the boy who was killed well

if you accept the surface of things Joey

which most people do

why The Bodyguard

does it come with the new title or what

just a precaution there's been too much

violence day three the thing is what are

you and I gonna do about it

are you enticing those to be conquered

and coming to the Conqueror

you should try our exploding Lobster my

chef does it better than anybody in the

world I brought him from home what do

you want Joey spit it out

cigarette now

this is not the Bronx or Brooklyn

it's not even New York

China Town plate can be very easy or it

can be very hard but why don't you make

it easy

I'll help you get some of these Renegade

use Witnesses evidence everything you

need

headlines your superiors you'll relax

and everybody happy

and then you can stay in Chinatown no

transfer and we can do business

you understand what I'm saying to you Mr

White

yeah

I get the punks

what do you want in return

nothing

just work with us

Chinese people come here to prosper and

not to change things you know this

cross-eyed conversation we're having

Joey

gets me confused

see I'm a stupid [ __ ]

peasant

you're gonna make things real clear to

me sure

how clear do I make it oh I don't know

thinking

with a contract with us for security

work after you retire be what you need

we got some late night club we could

keep an eye on

it could mean a hundred thousand a year

and we could put it anywhere in the

world

I don't think a hundred thousand is

going to be enough okay

how much then

I'll take the same amount that you're

gonna make over your next 50 keys in

here

[Music]

[ __ ]

at last

clouds part to show the true sky

you know most drug dealers and morons

Joey but I gotta hand it to you

foreign

cop in New York City has declared war on

Chinatown today there were 43 gang

arrests three gambling parlors rated six

sweatshops busted and now in an opening

blow at the man who's been called The

Godfather of Chinatown Joey Thai Captain

White has padlocked his restaurants on a

health violation needless to say a

Crackdown is in the worst and although

District Attorney Jane katzman denies it

a major drug conspiracy case is rumored

to be pending against various respected

older members of the Chinatown ruling

Elite

Mr Ty can you tell us if there is such a

thing as the Chinese Mafia sounds very

exciting

a comic book the existence of Triads is

documented by the drug enforcement

agency

documentation without proof

this fars is further evidence of the

consistent discrimination against

Chinese in this country Mr Tire are you

saying there is no criminal element in

all of Chinatown

if you cost not

but why do you media people insist on

emphasizing this Sinister Charlie Chan

image why don't you talk about the chair

in Chinese history our association has

endowed at Yale University or our 12

million dollar fund for our 10 000

members a free meal for the agent and

the unemployed free burial things like

that

positive things Mr toy what is your

comment on Jackie Wong Mr Ty do you have

any comment on Jackie

I'm very happy

I'm really happy you're okay

[Music]

I have nothing left red

but my brain my brains as I rather do

business with a smart Thief

and an honest man who is stupid

man is dangerous

like an effective Time Bomb you never

know when it's gonna go off on you but

at least you can control what he steals

I think Teddy you're going to find Joey

a very smart young man

not cautious as Jackie or Harry but

aggressive he wants power

that's what it means to be young

I wanna see his face

his eyes

one looked in his eyes I will not bring

him in

but leave the [ __ ] outside okay

I esteemed friends this is something

very diplomatic in the background noise

but it's not too bad the point Mr

Tedesco is that we are happy to let you

continue the distribution of our

software

but

the 50 reduction in volume

and at a reduced fee something like 17

or 18 the rest stays with us till we

weigh other offers Dragon one made these

arrangements with me

we're Pioneers when you were something

your Mother's Day

and I don't see why anything should

change now

because Jackie Warren is dead

and Harry Young has stepped down and I

am the chalkboard now and I say we can't

afford to sell to Old Man the old way

you know Fred

all my ears nobody and I mean nobody's

ever talk to me like that nobody no

insult was intender Mr Tedesco

but you people don't control Canal

Street anymore

we do

I think when you think through my offer

to you you see that it's not

unprofitable to both sides

that kind of way there they won't bury

you so fast like you never was here and

if they don't I will

do I get and the air is very thin up

there

[Music]

what's happening

[Music]

[Music]

you got anything it seems to be mostly

Financial top captain

if there's mention of some problem in

China

a man in Bangkok is saying something

about

I'm not quite sure about what yeah

but he's very angry about a group from

Toronto that calls itself the Nam Song

sister you got to be more precise

it's going to be very difficult captain

it's been many years since we've heard

the hacker dialect spoken

they're talking around things not about

them damn it sister that's the point

they're not going to spell it out for

you

this is drug talk you gotta use your

imagination

you look like you don't need enough to

keep a bird alive once you have some

real food

Captain White I've managed to live 75

years without your help teaching

precisely what I'm eating now

my body fat is 12 percent

my blood pressure is 120 over 80. my

lymphocyte count is 22 percent

and if you want to compare white to

blood cells some red blood cells

I might even Outlast you Captain red

meat eater that you obviously are

the perpetrator is saying he's flying

into Bangkok next week

flying under another name okay he's

making his move I want you to get the

DEA on his tail call the Bangkok police

agency going to outside agencies isn't

your job it is Lou's job and what about

sardines do they

charges of illegal wiretapping have been

leveled by h.j Young head of the Hun

distract from the main issue which is

what part the Hun sand plays in this
