Do you drink it or eat it? Maybe you
just sniff it.

Hey, you only sniff brandy glasses.

Such corny jokes are not deserving of a
masterpiece of culinary art.

Fran, you have to be patient with them.

It takes time to educate taste buds that
were brought up on hot dogs and mom's

apple pie.

You wouldn't say that if you'd ever
tasted my mother's apple pie. Not to

the 10 ,842 bowls of chili we've had
here.

I'll get it.

If the chef will excuse me.

Is this the residence of Chief Ironside?

That's right.

May I come in?

Yes, sure.

Thank you. This way.

I'm Chief Ironside.

Won't you come in?

For you, with respect and humility and
much gratitude.

Chong.

Beautiful young lady.

So many years.

Fran? Ed? Mark?

I want you to meet my daughter.

I have a feeling that I have a foster
daughter that's very extravagant.

A generous hand is married extension of
grateful heart.

What a nice way of putting it.

If you two have never seen each other
before, how'd you know who she was?

We knew.

Then there's this.

The pig standing under a roof is the
last of the animals of the 12

branches.

It symbolizes the home and the
importance of family.

The symbol is Chinese, but sculpture is
Korean.

Welcome to our home.

I must say you've changed since the last
picture you sent me.

How long ago was it?

Four years.

Had the braces on my teeth.

But you haven't changed.

Except to be more handsome.

Tell me, have you had dinner?

On the airplane.

What you haven't had, I'm willing to
bet, is a sample of Fran's dessert.

One more coupe de luxe coming up.

Yes. Mark, let's pull up an extra chair.

Chief, I'm surprised at you.

Here you've been raising Chong all these
years and not one single word to any of

us. It's pretty sneaky if you ask me.

She was raised by an orphanage in Korea.
I was merely her sponsor.

Lots of people do the same thing.

Me and him know this respect.

You're a better long -distance father
than many set at homes.

Thank you, Chong.

But why didn't you let me know that you
were coming to America?

I wanted to surprise you.

Thank you. Well, you did.

And a pleasant surprise it was, too.

I also wanted to ask permission to be
married.

To be what?

To be married.

You came an awfully long way to ask a
question. It is customary to seek

permission to be wed.

Besides, my intended husband is right
here in San Francisco.

Ah, well, that does make it convenient.

Who is the young man? Where did you meet
him? His name is Kwan Soo Yeon.

He's a student at the university
studying to be an architect.

I knew him in Korea.

Then he came to this country about a
year ago, and we wrote to each other,

he asked me to marry him.

He even sent me a ticket to come here.

Well, where is he? Didn't he meet you at
the airport?

Kwan Soo has a night job.

He begged forgiveness for being unable
to honor my father's home tonight with

me. This is all very exciting.

When are you going to be married? Not so
fast. I haven't met this young man yet.

Poor Kwan Su.

Just what is that remark supposed to
mean? Not a thing.

Just remember, Chief, the accused is
entitled to right of counsel. I am sure

that if Kwan Su is the young man of your
choice, he must be all right.

Which I will verify when I talk to him.

When am I to have that pleasure?

As soon as he has free time at school.

Good, good.

I wouldn't want him to cut any classes
on my account.

Where are you staying?

I do not know yet. I just came from the
airport. I have an extra bed.

I'd be delighted to have you stay with
me.

You're too kind.

Not at all.

Everyone is so kind.

Are all Americans like this?

So friendly?

Well, I wouldn't go that far, but...

I think we have a pretty good batting
average.

Batting average?

Well, he means we've got our good guys
and our bad guys, just like any country.

Well, I'm happy to be with good guys.

Mr. Young?

Yes, this is Guangzhou Young.

My candle.

Oh. You were supposed to make a payment
today.

I just got home from work.

I could not get the money. Mr. Young, I
don't want to hear any excuses.

Tomorrow.

I will get it tomorrow.

Good. See that you do.

Ed, it just occurred to me, tomorrow
morning is a holiday.

By Chong Li Day.

We're going to show her San Francisco.

Pass the word to Fran.

Will do.

Mark, rent a car. First thing in the
morning.

Big one.

Early Picasso.

No, this was her idea of me as a police
officer in the West.

How long ago did she do that?

A good many years ago.

Why? Oh, I don't know. It's just that I
never thought of you as... You know what

I mean.

The father type.

Well, it's not exactly your image.

Well, I don't suppose it is.

measures up.

Well, how do you like that?

Like, wow!

Is that the correct way to say it?

Right on, John. Right on.

Well... Now we've covered Knob Hill,
Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street,

Presidio, Telegraph Hill, Market Street,
Zellerbach Plaza, Broadway, City Hall,

the top of the mark, Ghirardelli Square.

Is there anything else you'd like to
see?

Chinatown?

Chinatown? You just came from Korea. Why
do you want to see our Chinatown? I

have shopping to do for my father's
dinner.

Chinatown. Chinatown. Right on.

There seems to be a problem.

Perhaps we can help them solve it.

Whatever they're arguing about, I'll bet
on Chong.

Too expensive.

What's the problem?

He's much too expensive.

We'll go someplace else.

I'll take that under advisement. Do you
realize this is the third market we've

been in?

But he wants too much money. How much
too much?

At least 27 .1. Which comes to what in
American money?

Ten cents.

Ten cents? You mean to tell me that you
blow the whole deal for a dime?

Ten dimes make a dollar. If you save the
dime ten times... Yeah, I know, I know.

But seeing that this is a special
occasion, why don't we just live

That is your decision.

Do you like barbecue, Leo?

I'll wait for you in the car.

Need a touch of sage.

a little more thyme and a pinch of hot
mustard.

Uh, where did you say that thyme and the
mustard goes and where did you say the

sage goes? Sage go cow bee chin and hot
mustard and thyme go chap chay.

Uh, sage in cow bee chin, uh, mustard
and thyme in chap chay.

I'll get it.

Um, sage in cow bee chin.

I beg your pardon.

Oh, I'm trying to remember something.
Come in, please.

And make yourself a drink.

Mr. Dinchup.

Will it be?

Wherever you find.

I have a strange feeling I'm going to
need more than one before this night's

over.

You forgot two settings out there. I
only counted four.

Four's correct.

Father, Ed, Mark, and crime suit.

What about you and me?

Oh, women do not eat with men.

Especially on this occasion.

You mean that we've been sweating over
this hot stove and... And we don't get

eat any of this food?

Oh, later.

After men are finished.

Oh, great.

I'll get it.

Get ready. I think you're on next.

Must be Kwan Su. I'm Ed Brown. Let me
help you. Thank you.

Hi. Come in. Come in.

Ironside. Pleasure to meet you, sir.

This is Mark Sanger.

Heard a lot about you.

Looks good, I hope.

Well, we have just introduced ourselves.

I'm sorry I did not hear the bell.

Mr. Kwang Soo Jung, Officer Belding. How
do you do?

For you.

Thank you. They're just beautiful.

With great affection.

Thank you.

With great affection.

My compliments to the cook. The dinner
was superb.

I had a very good helper. Thank you.

Can we eat now?

Oh, no, not now.

Father talk to Kuang Tzu any minute.

Well, I think I'll get some air.

Would you care to join me on the
terrace, sir?

Oh, yeah, sure.

Chong Li is a fine cook.

A fine woman in all ways.

Yes.

Sir.

Chong has told me about you.

How you have been like a father to her.

So I would like to ask your permission
for her hand in marriage.

Attending the university, I understand.

I have been here almost a year. I have
only a few more semesters left to

complete my education.

And you and Chong wish to marry now?

That is correct, sir.

How do you intend to support her? I work
when not at school.

Chong, it was her idea.

She would work, too. But only until I
have graduated and established myself in

my field.

Architecture. Yes.

Then Chong will take care of home and
the children we hope to have.

It will take time.

Of course, this could only come about
should you grant permission for Chong to

marry.

And if I don't?

It would be up to Chung as to whether or
not to go against her father's wishes.

However, sir, I must warn you, I would
do everything to encourage her to do so,

for I love her with all my heart.

Young man, I am not in the habit of
being warned or threatened,

and certainly not where Chung is
concerned.

and of peace.

You have my blessings.

You can come out now, and you too can
come in.

May I offer a toast to the future of Mr.

and Mrs. Yoon?

Thank you, but...

I am too.

My father is a wonderful man.

You like him.

He's so kind and generous.

He seems a very kind man.

But his generosity... I did not hear him
speak of any dowry.

Dowry? It is traditional, is it not? At
home, perhaps.

Not here.

He has done so many things for all these
years.

I would not expect him to... I would not
even ask.

I thought, I assumed... You would not
break with that tradition?

If it meant losing you, I would break
any and all traditions.

Ta Lin, the old man in the moon.

He holds the reign of marriage.

We are together as he looks down upon
us.

It is a good omen.

You were supposed to call us.

Oh, yes.

Yes, I know.

But I did not get the money I expected.
When will you have it?

I don't know.

You do have the interest you owe on the
loan.

No, I don't have that either.

You don't seem to understand, kid.

You don't pay her, you're in trouble.

I'm sorry.

I thought I would have it.

That's not good enough.

You better get it, kid.

200 bucks interest.

200?

I only borrowed 500.

It's 700 now.

I don't care how you get it, but get it.

Doesn't she look absolutely beautiful?

She does indeed.

And it's moderately priced at only $275.

Dollars?

That's too much money.

Now, you just hold it, young lady. I'm
paying for that, not you.

That is right. It is too much money.

You have done already so much.

Will you allow me to be the judge of
that?

$275 to wear a dress one day is
wasteful.

Not for Chong Li. Maybe not for Chong
Li.

But this one's for Chong Li Ironside.
She goes first class. We'll take it.

Besides, this is the third store we've
been to. I couldn't last one more.

I wonder why it's so late.

He probably got caught in traffic.

No need to look as though you've been
left at the church.

Just here to make the arrangements.

Yes, Father.

Tom!

I'm sorry I'm being so late.

So you had an accident.

Accident? Your face.

Oh, it's nothing.

I bumped into something.

Quite.

I do not understand.

It would have been necessary to bump
into something twice to hit both sides

your face.

We're very late.

Should we not go in?

evasive, wouldn't you say?

Could have a good reason.

Maybe a little private celebration.

I doubt it.

My future son -in -law, as Mark would
say, seems to be a little uptight.

If I had you for a prospective father
-in -law, I'd probably be a little

uptight, too. You are probably fired
after you.

Come in.

Did you get it?

No.

But your uncle is a very rich man.

He's also a very frugal man, which is
why he's a very rich man.

Look, I tried. I really tried.

I told him I needed some new clothes.

He said he would go with me and help
pick them out.

You should have told him it was for
school, for books or something.

Yeah, he would have wanted to see the
bills.

Look, wise man say, he who guards his
own money sleeps with three eyes open.

I never heard that.

I made it up.

People expect that fortune cookie talk,
so I got in the habit.

Hey, you sure you can't ask your future
father -in -law?

John would not stand for it.

Besides, I won't do it.

That is no way to begin a marriage.

Well, tell him it's in confidence.

Man to man.

If your uncle asks too many questions,
can you imagine how many a chief of

detectives would ask?

Already he seemed to be suspicious about
my faith.

I'm sorry, Kuan Fu.

I didn't know they were like that, or
I'd never have suggested... Do not blame

yourself. It was my stupidity.

Well, how else could you bring Chong
here?

You had to borrow the money, and with no
collateral for... We should have

waited.

Now it's all for nothing.

I cannot bring Chong into a debtor's
life.

There must be some way.

I thought of everything.

I even tried to figure out if I were to
pay the lenders a little of each week's

salary. That's their rate of interest.

Your job.

Why not ask your boss for an advance on
your salary?

That I did not think of.

Not a bad day today, huh?

You ready to close up out there? Yes,
sir.

Have you got a moment, Mr. Malcolm?

Just a minute. Can't you see I'm trying
to count?

It is very important.

Well, so is this.

Okay, what's so important?

I need money for a very important
reason.

Well, we all do. Everybody needs money,
and it's always for a very important

reason. Look, if you're thinking of a
raise, forget it. I can get... Ten or

twelve guys to do the job for less than
I'm paying you. No, Mr.

Malcolm. No raise.

Million advance on my salary.

Sorry, no way.

It is urgent.

A matter of life and death. Look, I must
have had a hundred guys work for me on

and off over the years. It's always a
matter of life and death.

And then the minute they get their hands
on the money, it's goodbye, Charlie.

You'll never see him again. I would not
do such a thing. Maybe you wouldn't, but

I've been stung too often.

Take a chair.

Please, Mr. Malcolm.

You are the last person I could ask.

I must raise it. The answer is no, and
that's final.

Markham's Auto Service.

Oh, Sammy.

Yeah, I think so.

Wait a minute, I think I got it on the
wall here.

Yeah, here it is.

555 -2213.

Yeah.

Okay, see you later.

Fine, fine.

Chief, I'm sorry to wake you up, but I
just got a call from Ernie Patterson.

He's got the night watch on robbery
detail.

A report came in from a garage over on
5th.

Ordinarily, Ernie wouldn't have paid any
attention to the suspect's name, but he

and some of the guys were chipping in
for a wedding gift.

Kwong Su?

Yeah. Ernie had written the name down,
so he'd spell it right on the gift card.

Where are you?

Home.

You got Kwong Su's address?

I got it from Ernie.

All right, get over there right away.

I'll call Fran in case he calls or shows
up there.

Will do.

Hello? It's me.

Don't mention my name.

You drunk awake?

Yes. There's reason to suspect that her
fiancé is involved in a robbery.

I don't ask questions right now.

I don't want to upset her until I know
more of what's going on. Just answer yes

or no.

Has he called or shown up there tonight?

No. If he does call, find out where he
is.

If he should show up, keep him there.

I'll be in touch.

Yes.

Yes, I understand. Thanks for calling.

No, don't worry about disturbing me.

Good night.

Do you always get the coldest hour?

Occupational hazard.

Nothing really important.

Go back to sleep.

He refused to advance me any money at
all.

I don't know what to do. Maybe they were
just trying to scare you. No, they

really mean it.

They're coming after me.

Blank 2.

It's Ed Brown. Open the door.

Chief has said he's gone.

What's the hurry?

I only saw the lights of car.

I did not know you were police.

Who do you think we were?

Well?

Someone is after me.

Yeah, who?

My wife.

We had an argument and I left.

She has a terrible temper.

Let's see the bundle.

My clothes.

I left in a big hurry.

Where are you going now?

My friend's out.

Okay, you can go.

Thank you.

Take a bit of advice.

Next time you have a fight, have it in
the daytime.

It's easier on a man.

Kung Fu would not steal.

I do not believe it.

Someone else made the accusation, Chong,
the man he works for.

But why did he say such a thing about
Guangzhou?

Guangzhou apparently told the man he
needed money, that it was a matter of

and death.

I don't understand.

I was hoping you might have some idea
what he meant by that.

No. He didn't mention anything to you
about needing money?

I want you to think, Chong.

Did he ever say anything?

Anything at all?

Nothing.

Except... Except he was disappointed
about dowry.

Dowry? It is traditional for bride's
parents to give dowry. But I told him no

dowry.

You have done too much for us already.

He could have been under a lot of
financial pressure. Getting married,

a career.

Which a part -time job wasn't going to
handle.

Joan.

Where did he get the money to send for
you?

I did not ask.

He saved it, I suppose.

And you've had to have skipped a lot
more than a few meals to save up that

Now, Chung, I want you to understand.

He must give himself up. But he did not
do this terrible thing.

We'll find that out when we talk to him.

If you hear from him, if you see him.

You must persuade him to turn himself
in.

France, if it is Kwan Su, he would hang
up if anyone else answers.

You can trust me.

I never thought otherwise.

Thank you.

Hello?

Kuan Tzu. Chong, I'm in trouble. I
cannot take time now to explain, but...

know. I heard my father told me.

I know you did not steal the money, but
police are looking for you. You must

give yourself up.

Steal?

Give myself up?

I do not know what you're talking about.

I did not steal anything. I believe you,
but my father says you must give

yourself up.

He promised to help you.

Please do as he said.

Kuan Tzu!

I will call you back.

What's the matter?

Those men must have gone to the police.

But why?

I'm going to pay them back.

I just need time.

Did he say where he was calling from?

No. Did you hear anything in the
background?

Noise, music, traffic, anything?

No, nothing.

Did he ever mention having any friends?

Someone he might turn to for help?

No, not that I... Wait.

Another student.

But I can't remember his name.

Try, Chong. Try to remember.

The letters.

I saved all his letters.

No address, just his name.

He goes to university with Kwan Su.

What will happen when you find Kwan Su?

He'll be arrested.

He'll be up to the district attorney to
see if he has a case.

You're judging him on that man's word?

I'm being realistic.

Charlie, you told him he was wanted. You
told him to give himself up.

Has he done what you asked?

You're acting like a policeman, not a
father.

I'm trying to be both.

Mark.

Mark, I'd like you to put Chong in a
taxi.

I'll go with her.

No.

Isn't that making it a little rough on
her?

Waiting in my place all alone. I don't
know if she'll be alone for very long.

Check out this initial, Kim.

Take out your apartment.

We're either going to have a wedding or
an arrest.

Here's her address.

Bring her to the temple.

I have to see her before I leave.

Why don't you take her with you? It will
not be fair to her.

Well, where can you go? I don't know.

Go, please.

Hurry. Okay.

Mr. Martin?

Yes?

I'd, uh...

to talk to you about the robbery you
reported last night?

Did you catch the guy?

No.

Well, then what's to talk about?

I'd just like to know how it happened. I
already told.

I left the money on the desk while I
went to answer the wall phone. When I

back, this guy, Quang Su, had run off
with it. Did you see him take it? Well,

I'd seen him take it, I would have
stopped him.

But you're sure he stole it? Wait a
minute. What is this?

The guy was trying to hustle me for an
advance on his salary. I told him no, so

when I turned my back, he grabbed the
money and blew.

It's as simple as that. Where was it,
Lenny? Right here, on the desk.

Just like I said in the report.

What's the matter? Don't you guys check
with each other?

Mr. Markham, you've made an accusation.
You may be right.

But it's my job to explore all other
possibilities.

Okay. You tell me what other
possibilities.

You could be mistaken.

Or you could be lying. Are you calling
me a liar?

No. Nor am I at the moment calling Kwang
Soo a thief.

Now, where on your desk was the money?

Oh, boy.

Here, right here. X marks the spot. It's
kind of cluttered, isn't it? I like it

that way.

You know why?

Because I can put my hands on anything I
want on this desk the way it is right

now. Logbooks, invoices, worksheets. I
know where every single piece of paper

on this desk.

All right.

How did you look for the money when you
came back from the telephone?

Well, how do you look for something? You
look.

Every place you think it might be. Why
don't you go and catch Kwang Soo?

Instead of wasting my time asking dumb
questions like, how do you look for

something? We're just trying to be
thorough, Mr. Markham.

Okay.

I come back from the wall phone.

The money is gone.

So is the guy.

I go back and I call the police.

And then I come back and I look again.

And no, I don't mess up my desk by
looking places that I know it's not

be. I don't look in the driver's log
books. I don't look in the invoices. And

don't look in the worksheets here for
the service department.

You know where I can find a hole to
crawl into?

No.

But I might suggest an overhaul of your
filing system.

I'll never forget the expression on that
guy's face when he found the money.

Unfortunately, that isn't why Kwang
Soo's running.

He didn't know the police were after him
until Chong told him.

What do you think made him take off
then?

Why could a young man with no
connections and no collateral get the

Chong the ticket?

Lone shot.

107, that's it.

There he is.

You tail him and I'll follow you.

It's funny how much bigger the city
seems when you're looking for somebody.

You better find them before the loan
sharks do.

I'm going to have a foster son -in -law.
I'd like him all in one piece.

Ironside. Chong left the apartment with
a young Korean.

Must be that friend of Kuang Tzu's.

Where are you now?

1 ,200 block on Jasper, headed north.

All right, keep in touch. We'll pick you
up.

Jasper, 1 ,200 block.

sure he's all right he was when i left
him why did he do such a thing

barring from such a man it was the only
way he could get the money to bring you

over here

KL -17811, please.

Ironside. I just checked out his buddy's
place.

I seem to be making a career of finding
empty rooms.

A friend of Taylor and Chong.

They might be heading for the temple.

I'm on that side of town. I can meet you
there.

Good. And Ed, he's cleared on the
robbery charge.

We figure it's local Shylock. He's a
dodger. I'll see you there.

You weren't thinking of skipping town,
were you?

No, I swear.

A thing like that happens. It sets a bad
example.

It gives other people the wrong idea.

I've been trying to get the money.

You've got to believe me.

That's not good enough, kid.

Kwan Sook, come up here.

You put your hands up.

You all right?

Yes, sir.

I don't know. He said he'd meet us here.

Something must have happened to him.

Look, don't worry. There's an old Korean
saying.

Forget it.

Where's Kwang Soo?

He followed me.

We had to.

So I would lead you to him? For his own
good, believe me. Why should I?

There's one reason.

One bridegroom.

Slightly the worst for wear, but all in
one piece.

You're not arresting him?

No, no, we're not arresting him. We are
arresting the two characters who were

working him over.

The troll car's got them. I thought I'd
better deliver him in person.

I'm sorry I was so rude.

Under the circumstances, I'd say you
showed remarkable restraint.

I was so frightened. My knees were
shaking.

No, you didn't look it. I thought I was
the only nervous one.

Oh, you were beautiful.

Confucius says best men do not always
win. Better luck next time.

Folks, only six to a couple.

You should say we can always send out
for more. Thank you.

Cheers.

Thank you.

Yeah, Chief.

Plenty more where that came from.

You're very generous.

Hey, Quang Su, congratulations.

And take it easy on this stuff. I don't
want you to miss any work till you get

that advance paid off.

A toast to the bride and groom.

May they have a life together slightly
less hectic than their courtship.

To all my wonderful friends.

Especially to my father, to whom I made
this promise.

You're not losing your daughter, my dear
father.

You're gaining a son.
