Don't worry about a thing, babe. We'll take care of you.

Look, there's Jimmy now.

Hey, Jimmy boy.

We've got the game Sunday afternoon.

What were you throwing at those batters? That last pitch to Grissini in the

ninth? That wasn't a knuckleball. That sucker came straight from the elbow,

It was a pretty good game, huh? Pretty good. Pretty good.

Pretty good.

14 strikeouts. Listen to this game.

How are your grades coming?

Quantum physics is being taught for a universe unloaded. How about the

We got a couple of new models. Wait till you see these beauties.

They're gonna flip out.

Black chick gray.

Chinese girl's cheekbones are a little high.

Take a Polaroid. Okay.

Now that's saucy.

Yeah, we pulled her out of one of those trashy lingerie places.

She'd just gone into the change room.

You should have seen your boyfriend's face when she didn't come out again.

He was expecting a hot night.

Who are you?

What the hell do you think you're doing?

If you creeps don't want to spend the rest of your miserable little lives in a

cell just like this one, then you'll open the damn door!

Feisty. Mr.

Takari will like that.

How's our blonde bombshell doing?

I'm a little worried about her. She's not eating.

My father can pay you.

Whatever you want.

Just call him.

Hey, it's going to be all right.

Don't worry about anything.

You'll call my father?

Sure. I'll call him. Don't worry.

Don't mess with the merchandise.

You got that, Velasco?

No sweat, Timmy. Of course not.

What do you want me to do with Blondie? Force -feed her if you have to.

Mr. Takari likes a little meat on the bones.

I might have a replacement for the brunette.

Go check it out tonight.

Sure. That's great.

Now, here's the play. Bottom of the eighth.

You trail him by three rounds.

The grandson of Kwai Chang Kane walks out of the past.

But I want to fight.

So did your great -grandfather when he was your age.

He teaches his son wisdom at a Shaolin temple.

An evil force destroyed that temple. Father and son each believed the other

perished. Fifteen years later, they were reunited.

Now Kane faced new challenges.

And his son grew up.

Look, I'm not my father. I don't do kung fu. I'm a cop. That's who I am. That's

what I... I am game.

I will help you.

No, do not fight.

Go.

I don't know if I'd take any of them on a drug bus.

Oh, here's trouble in River City.

Jesus Delgado.

Runs with a pack of animals called the Pale Aztec.

They do a neat job in destruction.

You lose your way, Jesus?

Perhaps he's found me.

Shaking out the action.

You got a problem with that?

Hell no.

No, I think it's a great idea. We teach him martial arts.

Learn to kick.

Hey, gouge. And you can teach your buddies.

This bunch of wimps couldn't teach me a thing.

Alicia?

You have been studying the longest.

Perhaps you could show Senor Delgado a few simple moves.

I'll rip her head off.

I don't think so.

Don't, huh?

This is trouble. Okay, little lady.

We'll tangle.

Are you alright?

Get away from me.

There is no disgrace in losing, only in winning without honor.

If you wish to learn, please return and join the class.

Great.

Not a good idea, Pop.

You know, that's like putting a snake in bed with your sister.

You don't want her to sleep alone, but you don't want her to get bit to death

either. Do you really think you can reach in and touch that guy's soul?

You reach in there and all you're going to find is an empty space.

It is enough that I reach.

Yeah, well, personally speaking, I hate to open a refrigerator if I'm a six

-pack guy.

Listen, I wanted to talk to you tonight, but you're busy and I've got to get

back to the priest thing.

Got the graveyard shipped, so... You should drop by.

Talk to me sometime.

The love that brings such a smile should be shared.

Just wondering how you knew that I was troubled.

You can see into the soul.

Reach in, yes.

See?

No.

You're going to think your A student is crazy.

There are those who believe I'm in no position to judge them.

From my grandmother's rose garden.

I live with her.

Grandma is everything you'd want in a grandma.

Feisty, witty, sentimental.

She has this wonderful rose garden that's dying on the vine.

It's her hands.

Arthritis.

She can't hold the garden shears any longer.

Could you not hire a gardener?

We're scraping by, Mr. Kane.

I'm waiting tables at the bistro when I'm not at college.

And if it comes to a wilted rose or bread on the table, Grandma makes sure

granddaughter eats.

If the garden survives, then she will.

Told you it was stupid.

No.

It is wise.

I always feel so much better after I've talked to you.

I gotta go.

Don't like being late home.

Yes, can I help you?

I am Cain, Alicia's teacher.

I have come to tend your rose garden.

Oh?

Great. How many more?

Yeah, the deer is expecting us.

what you got so far. One more, girl.

Parents reported her missing this afternoon. Been in the city 36 hours.

take long, does it? Random disappearances.

Different colleges.

Same ages. Same good looks. Same middle class backgrounds. All over the city.

All right, so what have we got?

College girls.

No drug problems. No arrests.

They're honor students.

Ransom demands.

It's in air.

You better find them before the media starts talking to the other precincts

blows this on the front pages.

He's gone for one week. No one knows where. Comes back with a bullet hole in

arm. No explanation.

Did you ask him where he went?

I asked him if it hurt. He said, yes, that's it.

I can't figure him out.

Well, he likes it that way.

I know.

Mystery.

Yeah, mystery.

Hello, Master Kane.

Look out, his garden is coming alive.

Have you seen how much your grandmother has changed already?

Don't tease.

And she does have a lighter spring in her step.

Now all she has to do is stop worrying about her granddaughter and she'll be a

new person.

Why does she worry?

Boys, AIDS, condoms, sex, drugs.

All the worry buzzwords.

In the headlines, in the newspapers, on television, assailing her.

The child's character is luminous and innocent.

While beasts walk away, birds of prey will not

lie at them.

That's what I tell her.

Words to that effect.

You're just great.

See you later.

It's a trick.

What is?

He is.

Of the light.

He's not real.

Knock on the door.

Mrs. Wright, good morning to you. May I tend your rose garden? A cup of herbal

tea will be payment enough. That and the joy of saving these fragile pets.

Horse turds.

He's casing the joint, Ellen.

You'll be cleaned out tonight.

Maury, how can someone who paints so delicately look at life so crass?

I'm a realist.

If you're a realist, then where's the lighthouse in this painting?

It should be right there on the coastline, just beyond those rocks.

I hate that lighthouse.

It looks like a red finger pointed at the sky, the middle finger giving God

bird. It's there, but you choose to ignore it.

Mr. Kane is here, and I choose to ignore your cynicism.

There's something about him.

So that's it. He's got your motor running.

Anyone who got my motor running will find out it needs an overhaul and some

spark plugs.

If she'd let anyone get that close.

Maybe someone should get off his butt and find out.

He's the teacher, is he?

The teacher says he's a priest.

Right. And I'm a Tibetan monk.

If they ever let you out of the monastery, knock on my door sometime.

All right.

What are you waiting for?

An engraved invitation?

Hey, he's got my wallet. Stop him.

Stop that cop.

Stop him.

Hey,

I'm Jim Reardon.

At least you're right.

You heard something else.

Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

After I ask for prom night?

On your Mazda?

I'm really in a hurry.

I've got to get to work.

What's his name?

Seinfeld. He really looks more like Kramer, but he's got Seinfeld's

Always questioning life around him.

Seinfeld, come back!

Seinfeld! Seinfeld! Come back!

Seinfeld!

What's going on here?

Who are you people?

Let her scream her lungs out for half an hour, then shoot her full of pentothal.

That should keep her quiet.

I guess I'm always jumpy when I wear this old fur out into the streets.

People are so vicious.

It's all I have that's warm.

I get chilled so quickly now, even in summer.

Is there a late class tonight?

I thought Alicia might be here.

Alicia did not come home from work?

No, and it's not like her not to call.

She's more reliable than E .T.

Always calls home, even if she's only going to be ten minutes late.

Perhaps she stayed on at the, uh, Galleria?

You're probably right.

That's where they all hang out.

Can't the life of me understand why.

Like being in a Fabergé egg, all glitter and emptiness, and you walk around in

circles.

I'll look for her there.

I'm sure she's all right.

Please.

Wait. Please.

Good night.

I had luck to look at a painting before it's finished.

Ah.

Always wanted to be like Picasso.

Dash off a few squiggles on a napkin for room and board in the south of France.

Inhale the beauty and take my time.

Deadlines are for architects.

Your friend needs you.

You mean the one next door?

She managed to get through four years of college, two husbands, the last one for

20 years, several vacation cruises without me.

Funny. We should end up living side by side, but not together.

She knows where to come to borrow a cup of sugar.

Her granddaughter is missing.

Alicia? I filed a missing persons report at 7 o 'clock this morning.

The officer was laughing at me.

Told me how many young girls run away every day.

Disappear into the rotting fabric of society.

His words.

She's so precious.

So very precious.

When I think of someone, what he could be doing to her.

Some stranger.

Release officer.

I will talk to him.

He won't be any different than the others.

He is different.

you look so defeated?

I can't study.

My head is too full.

The pages are too full.

I can't remember what I've seen.

He who can see the small is clear -sighted.

Concentrate on one question and one answer, and then go on to the next.

What if the next one's harder than the last one?

Then your sense of achievement, will grow accordingly.

What if I can't do any of them?

Then your homework will grow accordingly.

I don't need to learn to be able to fight. You need to learn to know what to

fight for.

One of my students is missing.

Alicia.

Don't tell me that.

What's your student's description?

They... They fished this girl out of the lake this afternoon.

That is not a picture of Alicia.

I got a thought that scares me to death, but it might fit this picture.

Hello?

Paul Cauldron.

He's not here.

Well, will you tell him that Peter Kane called? It's very important.

Don't mess with the goods.

You're supposed to send data.

Get the hell out of here.

I can't apologize enough.

He won't lay a hand on you again.

You've got me strapped down and half stripped.

Does the rape happen now?

Here?

Back in your apartment?

I don't touch.

You're going on a trip.

Ever been to Japan?

Tokyo?

It's one of the most fabulous cities in the world.

It's gonna knock you out.

Now don't worry.

I'm a med student for the fourth year.

Painless injections, well, I'm a wizard at them.

You're going to be treated like royalty.

My client is a real gentleman.

What do I have to do for this once -in -a -lifetime chance?

Exactly what you would do for your boyfriend.

Only do it better and more often.

I may have to break my own rule with you.

He's right. I'm Peter Kane.

Yes, I would have known.

Sorry about disrupting your house.

Just find my granddaughter.

How's it going, Blake?

Just got a sequential analyzer to hook up to.

Be on line in two.

Great. Just in time for a call that isn't going to come.

We don't know that for sure.

Face it, Pete.

More than half a dozen girls missing and not one ransom call.

Something else is going on.

No, it's our line.

Blake? It's Kane.

Peter Kane?

Yeah, put it through.

Peter, patch through for the precinct. A guy named Caldron?

It's okay, I've been working with this guy. Paul?

Yeah.

Did you wear?

All right, ten minutes.

Something? I hope not.

I'll check back with you.

Alicia did run away once when she was 14.

I just moved in next door.

Ellen had called me in Seattle right after my wife passed away.

to tell me the house next door was for sale.

We walked the streets all night looking for her.

And when we came back, Alicia was up in her room asleep.

Ellen made coffee, and we talked about our misspent

youth.

She and Alicia never spoke about it again.

I love that woman so much.

Perhaps that is a secret you should not guard so closely.

Yes.

Hey, Pop.

Come with me?

Where are we going?

for a walk in the wild side.

Sit down, sit down.

Get a beer and a water, please.

The dregs and tumors of virtue, which are things of disgust.

That is why a student of the Tao sprung.

Not these students.

This is a religious movement.

Spiritual enlightenment of the lowest order.

They're here in church to worship what may be degraded and disgraced.

Why are we?

Because this is Wonderland.

And I have a feeling that this is where Lester might have been.

I thought I was right.

We are expecting some rain on time.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I've been arranging a party for a visiting senator whose tastes run to

shall we say, eclectic. I've been running around all day looking for

Diet Dr. Pepper.

I'm sorry, I'm Paul Cauldron, and you are?

A colleague.

Paul and I go back to Washington when Blaisdell sent me there for a refresher

course in undercover street life. What do you got for me, Paul?

Ah.

You're right, Pete.

College students disappearing all over town.

White slavery is having an amazing renaissance.

Who did I talk to about the liver?

Well, there are buyers out there, but they breathe rarefied air. An undercover

cop wouldn't even get in the door.

What door?

Oh, there's a big bash every month. Yeah, they have it at a different

each time.

There's one tonight.

High sexual rollers.

You got an address?

Address?

Even if I had an address, I couldn't get you in. This is out of your league,

Pete. It's out of my league.

Do they have entertainment at these parties, singers?

Yeah, sure.

Do you know who's booked tonight?

I could find out.

Good to see you again.

Thanks, Stella.

Thanks again.

What the hell's the matter with him?

He's working through aggression.

But that little grandstand stunt just cost me a very valuable client. I'll

it up to you. Okay, what did your client say?

The singer's name is Carol Hastings. She's real hot. She sings at some club

in the stem. I know her. I know her. She's a friend.

A lost friend.

Yeah, I guess she lives close to the edge.

Did you get the address?

The Kaiser Mansion on Flower.

You want a little advice? Don't take Bruce Lee here with you. Even the

are Ming Dynasty.

Gentleness overcomes strength.

Sound familiar?

You should have reminded me.

What the hell were you doing in there anyway?

I could not allow those people to view that depravity of the spirit any longer.

They're going to be in some cramped, smoky little room tomorrow night. You

didn't change anything.

What I did was wrong.

Are you kidding me?

I loved her.

I've got to go to the precinct.

This Carol, you know her?

She'd do anything for me.

Was that for the time I stood you up or the time I was eight hours late?

How about for the night we made vows of undying love and I never heard from you

again? I meant as much.

What time?

I got the ball. Yeah, wait.

Tyler, I know.

How did that finally work out?

She usually slaps the other side of my face. Look, can we talk like two people

who once could not... Couldn't keep their hands off each other?

Say what you've got to say, Peter. I'm in a hurry.

Yeah.

The bottom of a champagne glass where they keep the dregs.

I know what kind of parties you're singing at, Carol.

They're elegant.

They're sophisticated.

And the outside?

Rotting on the inside. That's not my problem.

As long as I'm left alone, I don't care what else is happening.

You're right.

I do. They scare me.

But I need the money.

There's a party tonight.

Maybe I should just pass on this one, huh?

No.

No.

Tonight you sing.

But you'll be taking your two new managers with you.

Just hold still here. This is tricky.

Maybe trade some emotion tonight.

I look forward to seeing some more.

I will try to be better behaved at the party.

If we're going to find Alicia alive tonight, we're going to have to get out

there in one piece.

I will practice restraint.

Always works for me.

Perfect.

Let's go party.

Let's go. Come on. You've got a plane to catch.

Keep it moving, girls.

Looking pretty spiffy tonight, Jimmy.

So, when do we start collecting our next batch?

Next month, like always.

But we're changing locations.

Here's the play.

Bottom of the ninth. Two out.

Heavy hitter at the plate.

Three and two pitch.

Fastball down the pipe.

Don't you come home, Bill Bailey.

Don't you come home.

I cried all night. The client's great.

If it gets on.

I thought these parties were supposed to be hot.

I wouldn't give you a C -note for this one.

I got a roller who's going to pitch real high for quality.

I thought you were the singer's manager. I am.

That's a cop.

I got other clients.

How high is your client prepared to go?

Very. Hi.

James Reardon up there. But, uh, I wouldn't bother him just now.

I'd say his clients would make your clients look like small change.

Try 10 ,000 to throw.

Mr. Takari, 11 out of 12 is a pretty good average.

That's 11 strikeouts in a game.

So I gave up a base on balls.

They're ready to be shipped to you tonight.

I want her.

the singer yes sure done deal

that

strikes out the side yeah james has got the girls but i don't

know where they are i don't want any part of it you'd kill me if you knew i

telling you this you're right these people are not good for you these people

Listen to your heart.

How did I do it?

Let me go! I didn't tell her anything!

around starlight 12 hey hey wait a minute what the hell's going on your

starting a whole new career in japan no no she comes with me she leaves with me

you bring a bottle of wine to a party then ask for it back when you leave but

find us another singer she was very bluesy

You won't be needing that.

Dammit, Harry, what are we stalking?

Go on. Don't go to any more parties.

I want my bottle of wine back.

And I want to know where Carol and Alicia Wright are.

Or you're going to go up like a human torch.

You're too late.

They're on a plane out of the country.

Well, I'd say that that plane hasn't taken off yet.

Which airport?

Who the hell?

The flight is getting very hot.

I don't know if I can hold him, Alexander.

Keep it moving, girls.

Hold it.

Who's that?

I thought you should see him like this.

Can't hurt you anymore.

Let her

go.

After tonight, no more parties.

Mr. King?

What are you doing? These roses are your pride and joy.

They mean nothing.

It's gotten in bed.

Stop it.

What the hell?

Mrs. Wright?

Come look at this.

I wanted you to see the painting.

I don't want to see it. It has no lighthouse.

I love it.

You really are a tarnished old romantic, aren't you?

Aren't you?

You're right.

She did come back.

You find I'm right about most things.

My hair is a darker gray.

Oh?

Well, in this light... It's about

time.

What happened to your arthritis?

You know that charlatan priest who was going to rip me off?

He's healing me.
