ZHOU:
We understand
you're experimenting
with a new product.
Would you care
to explain yourself?
CHOW:
Respectfully, Uncles
great things are born of
experimentation and vision.
You have served us
well, Victor.
But your new interest
concerns us.
This is not why we sent you
to America.
Yes, that's true.
But I have achieved
my purpose.
I simply want to
pay back more.
As a token of
gratitude.
This new product threatens
our existing business.
Have you given thought
to that?
Yes, I have.
The threat is temporary
and manageable.
You have acted without
authority.
Without order,
there's chaos.
Respectfully, chaos can be
used to our advantage.
[IN CHINESE]
You have a good position here.
Be satisfied.
And don't be impatient.
[IN CHINESE]
CHOW: How did they know?
Unh, unh, please.
[MAN GROANING]
I didn't say anything, man.
Don't you ever go
to anyone else.
Come to me first.
Just so you don't forget.
MAN:
No.
Oh, please.
[SCREAMING]
No! No!
It's okay.
[BOTH GRUNT]
[]
MIKE:
That's what we look like.
And we were in the middle of...
Well, you can guess.
And she says that to me.
Ouch.
GROGAN:
She said that to you, heh?
That's cold.
MIKE:
Tell me about it.
Whoa.
Yee-ha!
Okay, before we do anything,
let me just figure this out.
She wants you to
ask her out
but she says she doesn't
wanna marry you.
She sounds incredibly neurotic.
I say, dump her.
Let's go!
Yee-ha.
[BOTH CHEERING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Can you hear
a cellular phone?
Uh, yeah.
That must be Dad's.
Did your father ask you
to bring the phone?
No. It's for emergencies.
What kind of emergencies
are we talking about?
From your girlfriend?
No.
Ahem.
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
Do you think Josh'll be
ready for this next year?
Uh, okay. So, listen.
Do you wanna recall
the last 300 or ya wanna...
I think it's time to get our
rocks off, twinkle toes.
[]
Ah.
Feels good to be down.
You did good today.
You did good, man.
Yeah?
Hey, what's wrong?
[BOTH YELL]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Hold him.
Boom, boom, boom.
I got him.
In the head.
Get him down. Get down.
Get down.
Down, down, down.
[ALL CHUCKLE]
Hey did you see us up there?
JOSH: Yeah, it's pretty cool.
Yeah? How'd we look?
JOSH: Good.
Where's your mom?
She's over there.
Do me a favor.
Bring that for me.
Where's my hat?
I wanna go up there.
Yeah, I'm sure you do.
What's wrong?
I miss my husband, and I wanna
spend some time with him.
Yowl.
Oh.
Argh!
What are you talking
about?
Don't tell me we're going to
spend the weekend together
and then bring this.
It's not fair.
JOSH:
Hey, Mom, check this out.
[GRUNTING]
Look, baby, I,
you know I had no...
I still love you.
Now make the call.
He told me he wasn't gonna call.
I'm sorry.
Stand still.
Whoa!
Can you do that?
Ya!
Yeah, Bob. It's me. Grogan.
Aw, come on!
We just got here.
What's wrong?
Practice.
I want you to practice.
Now?
Practice that.
Okay.
GROGAN:...Seattle.
[JOSH GRUNTING]
GROGAN:
I don't give a shit.
Well, Mike...
GROGAN: Fuck them!
...it looks like you got my
husband for another weekend.
Six months. This is
the first weekend in six months
that I've been
with my family.
He loves you guys
very much.
He's been looking forward to
this weekend for a long time.
I know.
Give him a break, huh?
You talk to me about it
when you get married.
Me, get married?
Don't hold your breath, okay?
Heh. I won't.
Oh. How many guys?
Yeah, yeah,
he's right here...
Okay.
In two and a half hours
we gotta go to Seattle.
This is bullshit. I just want
you to know this is bullshit.
Yeah, fuck you too!
[]
GROGAN:
I'm gettin' too old
for this shit.
GROGAN:
It's time for a promotion.
MIKE:
Maybe you should
start thinkin' about that.
GROGAN:
Pfft, why?
Are you gettin' sick of me?
MIKE:
No, but if you move up,
we all move up.
And besides, you gotta start
thinkin' of your family.
GROGAN:
That's true. Hey, guys.
CLARKE:
Hey, John, how you doin'?
Uh, we got a
new development, guys.
Um, don't worry, your
operation's still a go.
At least as of the moment.
I don't have all
the specifics yet,
but our sources tell us Tang's
gonna be there in person.
There must be a lot of product.
Who's the other player?
We're still workin'
on the other player.
GROGAN:
How much prep time we got?
Not enough.
I got the layout in the van.
You can go over it on the way.
GROGAN: Bodies?
CLARKE:
There'll be ten
of you on the first team.
It's a pretty contained area
so we gotta make sure
we don't blow your cover.
Which means I'll be off site,
with a backup.
Don't worry, if things start to
go sideways, we gotcha backed.
All right?
Okay, this is where
the meet's gonna happen.
We got shooters up top.
Here, here, here, and here.
We're comin' in
on the ground.
Now, if the product is not
on site, we do not go in.
Remember that.
We don't eyeball this shit.
We sit tight.
Okay, there's a chance
we don't even go in on this.
Remember to keep channel two
open for the shooters.
That's it.
They ruined our weekend
for a fuckin' maybe.
[]
Chill, ladies.
Nice suit.
Move it out.
Look alive, pal.
Move. Move.
Uncle.
Good to see you, Victor.
Okay.
It's been awhile.
So, what exactly
do you want me to do?
Well, I think of it more as
what we can do for each other.
My suppliers
are already in place.
Respectfully, your suppliers
have old product.
You're looking
at the future.
Nothing abstract
about the concept.
New product, new markets.
New suppliers.
Come on, let's move!
But the demand is untested.
Make no mistake. We would
design it for addiction.
No side effects
like the old product.
And look at the pharmaceutical
companies,
we simply eliminate
the middleman.
MAN 1 [OVER RADIO]:
Rabble team, holding and clear.
Okay, all clear.
It's showtime, partner.
How're you doing out there?
MAN 2 [OVER RADIO]:
Moving into position.
MAN 1 [OVER RADIO]:
Rabble team in position.
And you produce it yourself?
CHOW: Mm-hmm.
Where?
Heh.
[CHUCKLES]
What kind of quantities
can you handle?
No limit.
Okay, this is Grogan.
We're in position number one.
I gotta send Wilson in, over.
CLARKE [OVER RADIO]:
Roger. Send him in.
There are risks?
Take risk crossing the street.
I think more
about the rewards.
We're here, John.
Outside shed three.
Well, look.
I have a good position.
I have no desire
to upset the status quo.
You know?
You call a life on your knees
a good position?
[ENGINES REVVING]
What the fuck was that?
Come on somebody
talk to me.
SNIPER [OVER RADIO]:
Captain. We have bikers
on the scene.
GROGAN [OVER RADIO]:
Oh, beautiful. Beautiful.
I don't remember reading
this in the program.
Change has many enemies,
Victor.
You and I both know, change
is the only constant in life.
Watch out, guys.
There are no short cuts,
Victor.
I can't help you.
[ALL GRUNTING]
Who the fuck is
shooting?
It's coming
from inside shed three.
SNIPER [OVER RADIO]:
Captain, this is Alpha team,
we're standing by orders.
We gotta go in now
or we're gonna loose them.
CLARKE: Mike, do not go in!
Mike, Mike. Do not go in.
Do not go in.
[GRUNTING]
I want backup and I want
fucking backup now!
You know what I always
liked about you, Uncle?
Nothing.
[ALL GRUNTING]
[SIREN WAILING]
MAN [OVER RADIO]:
Bravo team,
we got those bikers tied up.
We got backup on the way.
Fuck!
[]
This is Ryan.
I'm in shed three.
We got one agent down
and Tang is dead.
Okay, Mike.
I'm at number one,
I'm coming to you.
I am following a suspect
heading eastbound.
Come on, let's move!
We're outta here!
This is Wilson.
I'm approaching shed four.
[GUNSHOTS]
Our friends
are headed east, John.
Yeah, Mike. I'm in the tunnel
approaching shed five.
They're between us.
There's no way out.
We've got 'em.
GROGAN [OVER RADIO]:
Don't stop.
We're losing ground. Over.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
Okay, Mike.
I'm in shed number five.
It looks clear.
Got a man down.
It's Wilson.
Okay, I'm entering
the machine shop.
Machine shop is clear.
I'm on my way to you.
Okay, I'm goin' in.
John, this is Mike.
You gotta get out the building.
Back off.
You gotta get off of Mike.
Do you copy? John?
John?
John's a little tied up
right now.
Can I take a message?
Move.
[]
Come on, take it easy, man.
You don't wanna do this.
CHOW:
Save it for summer, punk.
GROGAN:
Think, man. Think about
what you're doing, okay?
If you're gonna shoot me,
what are you gonna get
for fucking shooting me, huh?
CHOW:
You never know, it might
relieve a little stress.
GROGAN:
Murder one, okay,
murder one.
You're just a fuckin'
drug dealer.
What, do you wanna shoot
fuckin' cops, man?
CHOW:
I could shoot right now.
Michael!
Mike!
He's got my gun!
He's got my gun, man!
He's got it!
Let him go!
CHOW: Go away, we're bonding.
Let him go!
Hold it right there, Mike.
Drop the gun!
Shoot the fuck!
Hold on!
I can't get a line, John.
You're in the way.
Drop the gun!
Don't drop it, Mike.
Don't drop it!
Shoot the fuck!
Shoot him!
Good night, Dick.
My ride's here.
No!

[IN CHINESE]
Tang has been
murdered.
[IN CHINESE]
Victor Chow.
OFFICER:
I don't know what happened.
We were right there.
Now we've got five dead cops.
CLARKE:
We checked all the records
of the boat description.
Zilch on ID's.
Zilch on ownership.
Zilch on the make.
Two years of scrapin' down
back alleys
and this is all we got.
You tell me.
How are we doin'
on background?
Yeah, we know this guy. He runs
a little protection racket.
MCGUIRE: Got a file on this guy?
FONG: Yep.
We pick him up three years ago.
Assault charge.
The guy wouldn't testify.
He walked.
CLARKE: No drugs?
No.
Any connections
with Hong Kong?
Not that we know of.
MCGUIRE: Then why kill Tang?
CLARKE:
I guess he wanted to expand.
MCGUIRE:
Look at this.
The guy's a Stanford graduate.
Biochemistry, philosophy.
Mr. Big Brain.
Get his picture out there
and find this prick.
Let's get this shit down
to the lab. See what it is.
See you back
at the office.
Ryan, I want you to...
Ryan.
Let's get you on a plane
and get you home.
You can't leave me
outta this one, Captain.
Michael. I know this is tough,
but you gotta let it go.
You've done your job.
You're goin' home.
Now, there's gonna be
a full investigation
into this entire operation.
My advice is go home
and get on with your life.
JOANNE:
I'd like you to be a pallbearer.
I've got, uh,
John's body coming in.
There's so many arrangements
to make
and I don't even have
a ticket for him yet.
It's gonna
be a non-denominational funeral
because uh, well, John sort
of made up his own religion
as he went along.
So, um, and he didn't
believe in funerals.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of her.
Good boy, Josh.
JOANNE:
He always said
just throw him a big party.
So that's what I'm gonna do.
Throw him a big party.

[MOANING]
[PHONE RINGING]
Do you know
what bad timing is?
Oh, it's you...
You call that
protection?
I get more protection
from a rubber.
Look, you wanna be out a job and
out of a life, keep it up.
What's wrong?
Nothing.

let's speed up production.
Twenty-four hours a day.
We need five hundred
keys in two weeks.
Don't make any mistakes.
You understand?
[MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]
Yo, bartender.
Get me a beer.
Wait a minute.
Get me one of those.
Hi.
My name's Mike Ryan.
Okay.
I'm looking for an asshole
by the name of Victor Chow.
Seen him around?
Guess not, huh?
Give me some change
on that, huh?
You know, um, Mike,
you don't look like you're
really fitting in around here.
You see, I'm tryin' to penetrate
the Chinese underworld.
Really?
Maybe I can help you.
Great.
Who are you
lookin' for?
A guy by the name
of Victor Chow.
[SPEAKING IN CHINESE]
Heh. That's cute.
Thank you.
Good luck.
[SPEAKING IN CHINESE]
[ALL GRUNTING]
What's my name?
Do you know my name?
MAN: Yeah, Mike Ryan.
MIKE: Don't you forget it.
Did you find
who you're lookin' for?
Not quite.
But I'm getting warmer.
Well, these guys have
a lot of friends.
You might wanna
move on outta here.
Thanks for the advice.
You should be careful
who you look for down here.
People don't like attention.
So you know those guys
back there in the alley?
Small timers
who do enforcement contracts.
Friends of yours?
Heh. This is Chinatown.
Everybody
knows everybody.
So, you know Victor Chow?
Are you a cop, Mike?
Does it matter?
Why are you looking for him?
It's a long story.
Ooh, I like long stories.
Not me.
Jade, can I, uh,
ask you a few questions?
No, I don't think so.
Well, can I at least
walk you home?
You just did.
Good night, Mike.
[DIALER BEEPING]
I'd like to talk
with Victor Chow...
Oh, I think he'll
wanna speak with me.
Tell him it's Jade.

[SHIP HORN BLARING]
MAN:
Come on. I got it.
Come on guys,
let's get this done. Let's go.
CHOW:
I want you to wrap
this up real quick.
It's the last of it.
Cordero.
Oh. Hello.
I thought the union says
you gotta rest them
ten minutes every hour.
That's amusing, heh.
Look, we got a way to make you
more money than this.
You know, that sounds
very tempting,
but uh, I can't help you,
man. I'm maxed out.
You're maxed out?
Maxed out.
Why is that?
Well, you know, uh, I got
a big deal with the Italians.
And the Koreans.
Oh, smart guy, that's right.
And the Koreans.
And the Russians.
Hey well, you know how it is.
Fuckin' guy.
You're makin' us Americans
feel left out, Cordero.
Look, Chow.
I'm just trying
to make a living. Okay?
So why don't you come back
if you have something
more substantial to offer?
[ALL GRUNTING]
Put 'em down.
Put 'em down.
MAN: Fuck you!
SEVERIN: Get in the fuckin' van!
Now, go! Go on.
CORDERO: Fuck you, Chow.
You be nasty to me once,
I'll be nasty to you two times!
Then I owe you one,
Cordero.
Ow! Okay.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa, hey. Hey. Let's not blow
this thing out of proportion.
Don't you think it's a little
late for that?
Hey!
Happy birthday, Cordero.
Sorry I couldn't wrap it.
CORDERO:
What the hell is this?
Hey. Come on, Chow, Chow.
Come on,
Chow, open the door. Come on.
What is the matter with...
Open up.
Open the door Chow!

[POLICE SIREN WAILS]
Police. Drop the gun!
I'm a cop.
Drop the fuckin' gun now!
There's a badge
that goes with this.
Slowly.
There's a badge--
Shut the fuck up!
Down. Down. Down, asshole!
All right. All right.
Take it easy, will ya?
Look, just chill out.
I'm a cop.
Easy, Bobby.
I know this guy.
He's DEA.
Hi, Mike.
FONG:
Mike, I know how you feel.
I know, but you just have to
let it go.
These kind of things happen
in this place.
Hi, Captain.
George.
What are you doing here,
Ryan?
Sightseeing.
MCGUIRE:
You want me to arrest you?
On what charge?
Carrying a concealed weapon.
Resisting arrest.
General annoyance.
That's bullshit,
and you know it.
It's too personal, Mike.
Now, Chow is a local problem,
and I'm fully capable of
dealing with it.
Detective Fong will take you
to the airport.
And I suggest you get on
that plane and go home.
Quite finished?
MCGUIRE:
Give him back his gun.
Get the hell outta here.
Come on, let's go.
Why don't you do
yourself a favor,
and let me help you on
this?
What are you gonna tell me that
I don't already know?
Tang was the number one
heroin dealer on the coast?
That Chow wanted his place in
line, so he took him out?
Your partner is dead, Mike.
FONG:
Hey, hey easy, easy!
Do you really believe
that Chow is interested
in heroin?
Take a look
at your crime scene.
Along with those bad guys
he just torched
two hundred keys of product.
Come on. Let's go, Mike.
Come on.

[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
[TIRES SCREECH]
How long do you need?
Twenty minutes.
Make it ten.
What the...
CHOW:
George,
my uncle always told me
the superior man
must be patient.
But you only have two problems.
I never liked him,
and I never listened to him.
Yeah.
CHOW: Take him out.
Hmm.
FONG:
Got Price on it? Good.
Keep him under wraps.
Yeah, yeah.
Be right there.
What's up?
We just got a tip
on the lab operation
that might be Chow's.
Price is on his way.
He says you're on,
if you want.
What do we got, Bobby?
Uh, Chow and three Asian guys
went in while I was waitin'.
And, uh, Cutler's watchin'
the back entrance.
Backup's on the way?
Yeah.
We'll go join up with Cutler.
What if they get spooked?
Ryan. We wait.
Backup will be here
in a few minutes.
We can't wait.
What if we lose him?
Bobby, you stay out here
and wait for backup.
We'll go check it out.

MCGUIRE:
Doesn't look good,
Tom, am I right?
I'm gonna need to bring
in the media on this.
CLARKE: Let me talk to your guy.
MCGUIRE: Bobby, come here.
Bobby, are you all right?
Yeah.
Ya sure?
Yeah.
This is Commander Clarke
of the DEA.
Bobby.
So, what happened?
What happened?
I saw Jim's car parked
outside.
I go inside looking for
him,
and that's when your
fuckin' DEA guy comes out
and he starts blastin'
all over the place.
I return fire,
and he bolts.
That's when I found
Fong and Cutler.
They were both dead.
Do whatever you think
you should do.
[]
You don't get along with people
very well, do you?
Chow's a dangerous man.
Why are you after him?
It's personal.
You don't wanna tell me?
I said, it's personal.
Private. Ouch.
He's grown very
powerful.
A lot of people
here are afraid.
Are you?
Heh.
Eh, they come, they go.
It doesn't affect me.
What are you gonna do
when you find him?
That's up to Chow.
Are you tryin' to settle some
gambling debts?
No. He murdered my partner.
Who just happened
to be my best friend.
So, you are a cop.
Kinda.
DEA.
Sorry about your partner.
I'm havin' a hard time
figurin' out
who my friends are down here.
I'd really like
to help you, Mike.
But I can't.
Maybe you can.
Does this mean anything to you?
Yeah. It's Chow's seal.
If you see it on a business,
it means they pay
for his protection.
[]
So, how would they feel
if he didn't do his job?
He'd lose face.
I'm done.
Thanks.
Well,
I guess I should be going.
You wanna stay here?
That would be great.

MAN:
Come on. Get up!
[GRUNTING]
Gentlemen.
My name's Mike Ryan.
[GRUNTING]
I'm looking for
Victor Chow.
I understand
he provides protection
for this little establishment.
I want you to give
him a message.
[GUNSHOTS]
Tell him Mike Ryan
says Neh Ho Me.
[LAUGHS]
Say what?
Yeah.
Tell him I'd love to dance.
The fuck.
Where are you?
I'm not quite sure.
JADE [OVER PHONE]:
Ah, let me guess.
Standing on the street corner,
surrounded by Asians
trying to cover your
light skin and fair hair.
You must be in trouble.
Tell me where you are.
I'll come and get you.
Across the street,
there's a restaurant.
It's called Ho Ho's.
Ring a bell?
Yeah. I'll be there
in about ten minutes.
Keep a low profile.
Chow has a lot of influence
in that area.
Are you sure you wanna do this?
Not at all.
[BEEPS]
[LINE CONNECTS]
[]
I saw you on the news.
It was a set-up.
I was defending myself.
Let's go to your place, huh?
JADE:
What do you mean
you were set up?
You know, it just
all seemed too easy
from the very beginning.
Fong was good.
Ya know, he... he really
worked this well.
Who would have known that
he was in league with Chow?
Then I turned around, and that
other cop was firing at me.
Once we got there everything
changed, ya know.
[BIKE REVS]
Jesus! Jade.
[GUNSHOTS]
Christ!
[GUN FIRE]
Get down!
Are you okay?
Let's get the car.
Jade, we'll take the bike.
You're gonna kill me.
You're gonna fucking kill me!
What's goin' on, Mike?
What's goin' on?
Why don't you tell me
what's going on?
What do you mean?
Heh. I come and help you.
I get shot at.
I think my life is in
a little bit of danger.
I need a light.
Who the hell were the guys
in the car, Jade?
I don't know.
Mr. Chow has some
powerful enemies.
Maybe they're just
fighting back.
What is it with you?
Why don't you just walk away?
Have you ever been pushed
so far that you have no choice?
I can't just walk away.
When my partner was killed,
he left behind a wife and a son.
It was my fault.
I can't go on with this thing
hangin' over my head.
I've gotta take care of it.
Captain Kirk.
JADE [IN CANTONESE]:
You men almost killed me.
Shit happens.
Just figured you were
a big enough girl
to take care of yourself,
Jade.
[LAUGHS]
It was hard to think properly
with your men shooting at me.
CHOW [OVER PHONE]:
Maybe, you just need
more practice.
He's there, isn't he?
JADE:
Waste him.
JADE:
I've heard
that somewhere before.
Tell me where he is
and we'll send someone.
JADE:
Oh, yeah, he scares me.
But you scare me more, Jade.
Look, business first.
Tomorrow night.
Then we get back to pleasure.
Who was it?
Doesn't matter.
A girlfriend of mine
knows a girl
who services him
regularly.
Men are such
creatures of habit.
So, are you telling me
you know where he is?
Are you gonna kill him?
[]
Why do you care?
I can deliver you
into the fire.
But will the flames
cleanse you or consume you?
That's a risk I have to take.
[GUNSHOTS]
[GRUNTS]
[GUNSHOTS]
Hello, Victor.
You've got a great house.
You can just take the gun out.
Nice and easy.
[GUNSHOTS]
What? I'm a little early?
No, everybody's just
a little late.
Where's the rest of your
gang?
I'm a selfish man, Victor.
I want all of your attention.
I'm into one night
stands.
I don't have that much
attention to give.
MIKE:
I used to follow
the same path.
But you changed everything.
[CHOW LAUGHS]
Ya got cop blood, Mike.
You guys are all the same.
You wanna be big
and bad like us,
but you guys
are just fuckin' wimps.
You can't shoot me.
You gotta abide by the code.
You've gotta take me.
You're under arrest,
Victor Chow.
[CHUCKLES]
For the murder of DEA agent,
John Grogan.
Why don't you just shoot him,
Mike?
Go on, kill him.
Now's your chance.
You can say he was shot
resisting arrest.
What are you doing?
[SPEAKS CANTONESE]:
MIKE:
No, Jade.
[SPEAKS CANTONESE]:
I don't wanna do this Mike,
but I don't have any choice.
You gotta kill him for me,
Mike.
Then it'll be over.
We can just walk out of here.
You think she's so pure?
You think she sells
flowers on the street?
She's an assassin.
Shut up!
You're unredeemable, Chow.
[SPEAKING CANTONESE]

ZHOU:
Mr. Ryan.
I believe we have
a common enemy.
Chow's tactics are good.
"Begin by seizing something
your opponent holds dear."
"Then he will be amenable
to your will."
He has the advantage.
Do you know how
you will counter?
No.
He uses the girl to bring you
to anger and recklessness.
And ultimately, destruction.
You must forget her,
until the battle is won.
Have no misconceptions,
Mr. Ryan.
She was raised to do
an unpleasant,
but necessary job.
Victor is producing
a synthetic drug
that will bring chaos
to your streets.
It is in both of our interests
to see that his operation
is destroyed by you.
And what makes you think
that I'll work with you?
Two men can be enemies.
Yet, if they were crossing
a river in the same boat,
and caught by a storm
they would come to each
other's assistance.
Just like the left hand
helps the right.
And when they get
to the other side?
They, once again,
are enemies.
As long as that is clearly
understood.
I'll be waiting in the car,
Mr. Ryan.
[GASPS]
CHOW:
Sleeping Beauty awakens.
Your plan's worked well,
Victor.
I'm very impressed.
I love making good impressions.
A shame you won't
be alive to enjoy it.
You think you really
could have killed me?
You're already dead,
Victor.
It's not my decision.
You were so young and beautiful
when you came to our family.
But, my father would
never approve of me
sleeping with you.
I wonder if he'd
change his mind.
I guess I should have asked him,
before I killed him.
[GRUNTING]
We treated you like
family.
Where do you think
he was then?
Night after night?
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I've been dying since
I was eight years old.
Well, you picked
the right profession.
Dying's an occupational
hazard for an assassin.

This hurts me more
than it hurts you.

ZHOU:
We understand
you're experimenting
with a new product.
Would you care
to explain yourself?
CHOW:
Respectfully, Uncles
great things are born of
experimentation and vision.
You have served us
well, Victor.
But your new interest
concerns us.
This is not why we sent you
to America.
Yes, that's true.
But I have achieved
my purpose.
I simply want to
pay back more.
As a token of
gratitude.
This new product threatens
our existing business.
Have you given thought
to that?
Yes, I have.
The threat is temporary
and manageable.
You have acted without
authority.
Without order,
there's chaos.
Respectfully, chaos can be
used to our advantage.
[IN CHINESE]
You have a good position here.
Be satisfied.
And don't be impatient.
[IN CHINESE]
CHOW: How did they know?
Unh, unh, please.

She said that to you, heh?
That's cold.
MIKE:
Tell me about it.
Whoa.
Yee-ha!
Okay, before we do anything,
let me just figure this out.
She wants you to
ask her out
but she says she doesn't
wanna marry you.
She sounds incredibly neurotic.
I say, dump her.
Let's go!

a cellular phone?
Uh, yeah.
That must be Dad's.

No. It's for emergencies.
What kind of emergencies

From your girlfriend?
No.
Ahem.

Uh, okay. So, listen.

JOSH: Good.
Where's your mom?
She's over there.
Do me a favor.
Bring that for me.
Where's my hat?
I wanna go up there.
Yeah, I'm sure you do.
What's wrong?
I miss my husband, and I wanna
spend some time with him.
Yowl.
Oh.
Argh!
What are you talking
about?
Don't tell me we're going to
spend the weekend together
and then bring this.
It's not fair.
JOSH:
Hey, Mom, check this out.
[GRUNTING]
Look, baby, I,
you know I had no...
I still love you.
Now make the call.
He told me he wasn't gonna call.
I'm sorry.
Stand still.
Whoa!
Can you do that?
Ya!
Yeah, Bob. It's me. Grogan.
Aw, come on!
We just got here.
What's wrong?
Practice.
I want you to practice.
Now?
Practice that.
Okay.
GROGAN:...Seattle.
[JOSH GRUNTING]
GROGAN:
I don't give a shit.
Well, Mike...
GROGAN: Fuck them!
...it looks like you got my
husband for another weekend.
Six months. This is
the first weekend in six months
that I've been
with my family.
He loves you guys
very much.
He's been looking forward to
this weekend for a long time.
I know.
Give him a break, huh?
You talk to me about it
when you get married.
Me, get married?
Don't hold your breath, okay?
Heh. I won't.
Oh. How many guys?
Yeah, yeah,
he's right here...
Okay.
In two and a half hours
we gotta go to Seattle.
This is bullshit. I just want
you to know this is bullshit.
Yeah, fuck you too!

GROGAN:
I'm gettin' too old
for this shit.
GROGAN:
It's time for a promotion.
MIKE:
Maybe you should
start thinkin' about that.
GROGAN:
Pfft, why?
Are you gettin' sick of me?
MIKE:
No, but if you move up,
we all move up.
And besides, you gotta start
thinkin' of your family.
GROGAN:
That's true. Hey, guys.
CLARKE:
Hey, John, how you doin'?
Uh, we got a
new development, guys.
Um, don't worry, your
operation's still a go.
At least as of the moment.
I don't have all
the specifics yet,
but our sources tell us Tang's
gonna be there in person.
There must be a lot of product.
Who's the other player?
We're still workin'
on the other player.
GROGAN:
How much prep time we got?
Not enough.
I got the layout in the van.
You can go over it on the way.
GROGAN: Bodies?
CLARKE:
There'll be ten
of you on the first team.
It's a pretty contained area
so we gotta make sure
we don't blow your cover.
Which means I'll be off site,
with a backup.
Don't worry, if things start to
go sideways, we gotcha backed.
All right?
Okay, this is where
the meet's gonna happen.
We got shooters up top.
Here, here, here, and here.
We're comin' in
on the ground.
Now, if the product is not
on site, we do not go in.
Remember that.
We don't eyeball this shit.
We sit tight.
Okay, there's a chance
we don't even go in on this.
Remember to keep channel two
open for the shooters.
That's it.
They ruined our weekend
for a fuckin' maybe.
[]
Chill, ladies.
Nice suit.
Move it out.
Look alive, pal.
Move. Move.
Uncle.
Good to see you, Victor.
Okay.
It's been awhile.
So, what exactly
do you want me to do?
Well, I think of it more as
what we can do for each other.
My suppliers
are already in place.
Respectfully, your suppliers
have old product.
You're looking
at the future.
Nothing abstract
about the concept.
New product, new markets.
New suppliers.
Come on, let's move!
But the demand is untested.
Make no mistake. We would
design it for addiction.
No side effects
like the old product.
And look at the pharmaceutical
companies,
we simply eliminate
the middleman.

You gotta get off of Mike.

I've got, uh,
John's body coming in.
There's so many arrangements

It's gonna
be a non-denominational funeral
because uh, well, John sort
of made up his own religion
as he went along.
So, um, and he didn't
believe in funerals.
Don't worry.
I'll take care of her.

Private. Ouch.
He's grown very
powerful.
A lot of people
here are afraid.
Are you?
Heh.
Eh, they come, they go.
It doesn't affect me.
What are you gonna do
when you find him?
That's up to Chow.
Are you tryin' to settle some
gambling debts?
No. He murdered my partner.
Who just happened
to be my best friend.
So, you are a cop.
Kinda.
DEA.
Sorry about your partner.
I'm havin' a hard time
figurin' out
who my friends are down here.
I'd really like
to help you, Mike.
But I can't.
Maybe you can.
Does this mean anything to you?
Yeah. It's Chow's seal.
If you see it on a business,
it means they pay
for his protection.
[]
So, how would they feel
if he didn't do his job?
He'd lose face.
I'm done.
Thanks.
Well,
I guess I should be going.
You wanna stay here?
That would be great.

[CHATTERING]
Hi, guys. I'm, uh, looking
for a little Mah Jong action.
I'll try upstairs.
[ALL GRUNTING]
[SCREAMS]
MAN:
Come on. Get up!
[GRUNTING]
Gentlemen.
My name's Mike Ryan.
[GRUNTING]
I'm looking for
Victor Chow.
I understand
he provides protection
for this little establishment.
I want you to give
him a message.
[GUNSHOTS]
Tell him Mike Ryan
says Neh Ho Me.
[LAUGHS]
Say what?
Yeah.
Tell him I'd love to dance.
The fuck.
Where are you?
I'm not quite sure.
JADE [OVER PHONE]:
Ah, let me guess.
Standing on the street corner,
surrounded by Asians
trying to cover your
light skin and fair hair.
You must be in trouble.
Tell me where you are.
I'll come and get you.
Across the street,
there's a restaurant.
It's called Ho Ho's.
Ring a bell?
Yeah. I'll be there
in about ten minutes.
Keep a low profile.
Chow has a lot of influence
in that area.
Are you sure you wanna do this?
Not at all.
[BEEPS]
[LINE CONNECTS]
[]
I saw you on the news.
It was a set-up.
I was defending myself.
Let's go to your place, huh?
JADE:
What do you mean
you were set up?
You know, it just
all seemed too easy
from the very beginning.
Fong was good.
Ya know, he... he really
worked this well.
Who would have known that
he was in league with Chow?
Then I turned around, and that
other cop was firing at me.
Once we got there everything
changed, ya know.
[BIKE REVS]
Jesus! Jade.
[GUNSHOTS]
Christ!
[GUN FIRE]
Get down!
Are you okay?
Let's get the car.
Jade, we'll take the bike.
You're gonna kill me.
You're gonna fucking kill me!
What's goin' on, Mike?
What's goin' on?
Why don't you tell me
what's going on?
What do you mean?
Heh. I come and help you.
I get shot at.
I think my life is in
a little bit of danger.
I need a light.
Who the hell were the guys
in the car, Jade?
I don't know.
Mr. Chow has some
powerful enemies.
Maybe they're just
fighting back.
What is it with you?
Why don't you just walk away?
Have you ever been pushed
so far that you have no choice?
I can't just walk away.
When my partner was killed,
he left behind a wife and a son.
It was my fault.
I can't go on with this thing
hangin' over my head.
I've gotta take care of it.
Captain Kirk.
JADE [IN CANTONESE]:
You men almost killed me.
Shit happens.
Just figured you were
a big enough girl
to take care of yourself,
Jade.
[LAUGHS]
It was hard to think properly
with your men shooting at me.
CHOW [OVER PHONE]:
Maybe, you just need
more practice.
He's there, isn't he?
JADE:
Waste him.
JADE:
I've heard
that somewhere before.
Tell me where he is
and we'll send someone.
JADE:
Oh, yeah, he scares me.
But you scare me more, Jade.
Look, business first.
Tomorrow night.
Then we get back to pleasure.
Who was it?
Doesn't matter.
A girlfriend of mine
knows a girl
who services him
regularly.
Men are such
creatures of habit.
So, are you telling me
you know where he is?
Are you gonna kill him?
[]
Why do you care?
I can deliver you
into the fire.
But will the flames
cleanse you or consume you?
That's a risk I have to take.
[GUNSHOTS]
[GRUNTS]
[GUNSHOTS]
Hello, Victor.
You've got a great house.
You can just take the gun out.
Nice and easy.
[GUNSHOTS]
What? I'm a little early?
No, everybody's just
a little late.
Where's the rest of your
gang?
I'm a selfish man, Victor.
I want all of your attention.
I'm into one night
stands.
I don't have that much
attention to give.
MIKE:
I used to follow
the same path.
But you changed everything.
[CHOW LAUGHS]
Ya got cop blood, Mike.
You guys are all the same.
You wanna be big
and bad like us,
but you guys
are just fuckin' wimps.
You can't shoot me.
You gotta abide by the code.
You've gotta take me.
You're under arrest,
Victor Chow.
[CHUCKLES]
For the murder of DEA agent,
John Grogan.
Why don't you just shoot him,
Mike?
Go on, kill him.
Now's your chance.
You can say he was shot
resisting arrest.
What are you doing?
[SPEAKS CANTONESE]:
MIKE:
No, Jade.
[SPEAKS CANTONESE]:
I don't wanna do this Mike,
but I don't have any choice.
You gotta kill him for me,
Mike.
Then it'll be over.
We can just walk out of here.
You think she's so pure?
You think she sells
flowers on the street?
She's an assassin.
Shut up!
You're unredeemable, Chow.
[SPEAKING CANTONESE]
[ALL GRUNTING]

ZHOU:
Mr. Ryan.
I believe we have
a common enemy.
Chow's tactics are good.
"Begin by seizing something
your opponent holds dear."
"Then he will be amenable
to your will."
He has the advantage.
Do you know how
you will counter?
No.
He uses the girl to bring you
to anger and recklessness.
And ultimately, destruction.
You must forget her,
until the battle is won.
Have no misconceptions,
Mr. Ryan.
She was raised to do
an unpleasant,
but necessary job.
Victor is producing
a synthetic drug
that will bring chaos
to your streets.
It is in both of our interests
to see that his operation
is destroyed by you.
And what makes you think
that I'll work with you?
Two men can be enemies.
Yet, if they were crossing
a river in the same boat,
and caught by a storm
they would come to each
other's assistance.
Just like the left hand
helps the right.
And when they get
to the other side?
They, once again,
are enemies.
As long as that is clearly
understood.
I'll be waiting in the car,
Mr. Ryan.
[GASPS]
CHOW:
Sleeping Beauty awakens.
Your plan's worked well,
Victor.
I'm very impressed.
I love making good impressions.
A shame you won't
be alive to enjoy it.
You think you really
could have killed me?
You're already dead,
Victor.
It's not my decision.
You were so young and beautiful
when you came to our family.
But, my father would
never approve of me
sleeping with you.
I wonder if he'd
change his mind.
I guess I should have asked him,
before I killed him.
[GRUNTING]
We treated you like
family.
Where do you think
he was then?
Night after night?
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
I've been dying since
I was eight years old.
Well, you picked
the right profession.
Dying's an occupational
hazard for an assassin.
[]
This hurts me more
than it hurts you.

[MAN SPEAKING CANTONESE]
[GRUNTING]
Why did you leave me?
I'm not gonna let you go.
I'm not gonna let you go.
[GUN CLICKS]
[SPEAKING IN CANTONESE]
[GUN FIRE]
Get that guy!
Where are you going?
[GRUNTING]
[GUN SHOTS]
I knew you'd be back.
MAN:
Where is he?
[GUN FIRE]
MAN:
Get him! Get him!
Cut him off! Come on!
[SOBBING]
[]
[JADE SCREAMS]
Shh. It's just you and me.
[GUN FIRE]
[CHOW HUMMING]
[GRUNTS]
[GRUNTING]
Hey, Mikey.
Just put her down.
You have to wait your turn, man.
I said put her down.
Okay.
Your turn, Mike!
Come on! Play!
What the hell did he do to you?
Get the bastard.
CHOW:
How's the music, Mike?
Come on down.
I got something for ya.
[GUN FIRE]
Karma time, Mike.
I got one more.
You fuckin' joke.
You're not a killer,
you're a cop.
How do you think you got
here?
That makes you one of us,
Mike.
[GUN CLICKS]
Come on.
[GRUNTING]
It's for you, Mike.
[COUGHING]
[GRUNTING]
You look like shit.
Where are you going, Ryan?
I fucked your partner!
Come back here, Ryan!
Fuck you, loser!
Ryan! Don't leave me!
[SCREAMS]
Ryan! Ryan!
[]
JADE:
Oh, Sukien.
[CHUCKLES]
Let me see you.
Oh.
Come here.
I missed you.
Look at you.
Such a big girl.
Oh, I love you.
So you think
you can handle this?
Yeah.
Are you ready?
You bet.
Let's do it.
