Like your dress.

The robe can be cleaned.

Go back to your monastery.

We're supposed to learn from this. Because that's what we do.

Learn. Yes.

Don't we also teach?

One cannot do one without doing the other.

That's what I was hoping you'd say.

Peter. Peter, wait.

You better run, Chucky. He's after you.

I'm so scared.

Get him, Chuck.

Nail him.

You should not be rude to a priest or pick on someone small.

That right.

Well, you ain't smaller.

Go get him, Chucky.

They taught us patience.

I thought it was only fair to teach them tolerance.

Father, someone must protect those who cannot protect themselves.

Your thought is correct.

Your method.

I will discuss it with you later.

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 Kane.

I will help you.

It's daybreak.

Yeah. Okay.

I'll see what I can find out.

Can you take care of this? Hey!

Tomato can.

Jesus! Hi, the dogs are devastating.

Come on. Sit, sit, sit, sit. Hey, what brings you here? Briefing a night shift.

What? The supermarket robbers you've been hearing about. Stella don't want

should have known that was your case. Very kinky broad.

The best of it hasn't been released. That is the thickest broad I have ever

across. Worse than that hooker with the battery acid thing? It's a push, but

this one's a little bit more creative. So where's Blaisdell and the chief?

Conference, Cleveland.

Call the doctor.

Hi. Hi there, sweet pea. Those legs go all the way up.

Coffee, two creams.

Just kidding, officer.

Yeah. Maybe I should write you up for a rally. Is that tool harassment in the

workplace?

And make me listen to a lecture from a serious woman with straight hair and

sensible shoes? Anything but that. Hell, I'll get you a copy. How do you think?

Black.

Scalini, this is Patrick Michael Epstein.

Epstein?

Irish mother, Jewish father.

I was the only guy on the block who prayed to the Virgin Mary for a mitzvah.

mitzvah? A mitzvah. It's like spaghetti. You explain to him, you lose.

Epi was my first partner.

Four years I had to listen to his rules.

The Epistle by Epstein. Guy's got more new theories than Caltech.

More advice, too.

Yeah, nobody listens less than you, kid. Four years I rode with him, what did he

learn? Nothing.

So, you ride in the same car, alone, at night.

I bet you got theories about lady cops.

Absolutely. Would you like to start on sitting and standing?

What do you call these guys you're chasing?

Epi's got nicknames for everybody.

I call them Stella and the Green Hornet.

Works for me. What makes you think Stella and the Green Hornet are coming

way?

It's their pattern.

Gotta go.

Okay, very nice meeting you, Scalini. This is for that cold and lonely night.

Keep it covered, Tomato Cannon. You too.

Scalini, you're very lucky. You're riding with one of the good ones.

So am I.

What's life got in store for us today, Scalini?

Nothing good.

Must have left my gloves at my father's place yesterday.

Let's just swing by there. We're rolling here.

Just take first at Jones. It won't take long.

Chinatown?

You do this a lot?

Lose your things at your father's? I didn't lose them. I forgot.

Oh, yeah, yeah, right. When I get lucky, which hasn't happened in a while, I

sometimes forget things at a guy's place, too. You know, earrings,

What has your underwear got to do with my glove?

Nothing. It just reminded me. That's all. You know, it's a chick thing. I

you know.

Leave something there, you know, back the next day, and the guy comes to the

door, and you look him in the eye, and you hope it says, I'm as crazy about you

as I was last night.

Instead of, the nightmare's back.

Go away, or I'll step on your throat.

Love life, lady in the 90s.

So, why do you need an excuse to visit your father?

What?

Excuse? I don't need an excuse.

Our relationship has gaps. A little awkward sometimes.

That's my father.

Priest by day, bricklayer by night.

That's a pretty good team, Pop. You could build your own house and then pray

stands the storms at the same time.

This is my new partner.

I am Kane.

I'm Delaney.

Mary Margaret.

I left my gloves here yesterday.

Oh, no, here, I got them.

I saw this at the carnival.

The carnival?

Well, yeah, I mean, you're going to break them, right?

Well, I messed up the guy at the carnival.

He didn't have brick.

Big blocks of ice.

And he didn't use his hand, he used his head.

Hell of a trick.

The purpose.

of the exercise is not merely to break the bricks.

Yeah.

That could be tough even for my father.

To crush all of these bricks would require only brute force.

So what are you going to do? Are you going to break the bottom brick?

No.

The technique is called qigong.

The purpose is control.

Something my father believes I can use a little more of.

I intend to break only one brick.

Which one?

Whichever I choose.

Fifth from the top.

What?

Break the fifth from the top.

Come on, Dad.

And don't embarrass your son in front of others.

Show Mary Margaret here some of your kung fu magic.

Get out of here.

You do this kind of stuff, too?

I don't know.

It's just my pop.

Sorry. Never call you pop.

Okay. Come on. We got to go.

We'll catch you later.

Let's go, Amy.

He's a priest. Give him a break. Let's go.

Your father's... different.

You don't know the half of it.

So how did the priest's son become a cop?

It's a long story.

It's a long day.

Listen, if I wasn't really interested, you know, I wouldn't...

Ripper Ewing.

What? Why, we missed the pedestrian?

No, the market back there.

What did you see?

The customer wasn't where she should be. So?

Well, I think we should check it out. Throw you in.

Okay.

You

called

us in or what?

Let's just make sure we got a reason to purr.

That's what my father would say.

Little patience review the situation

Something

is definitely going down there. Maybe I'm not sure you just stay real calm and

no one gets hurt You want to hurt me do you?

You like me. I know you do.

I thought the way you looked at me.

You like me.

You want to do things to me.

You like this.

The guns.

The violence.

I think it turns you on.

It does, doesn't it?

It turns me on.

She is one sick puppy.

Okay, we got to move on to her. She's going to ice him.

He's through with me.

Go ahead.

What do you want to do?

You want to live?

How much do you want to live?

Talk to me.

Talk to your sweet baby.

Every time your mother comes for dinner, we go through the same thing. Make what

you want. I don't know what to make. Well, it doesn't matter.

Well, it would if it was your mother.

I thought you said all the customers were out. They were.

Look, can we just drop it?

I don't want to go to this party anyway. We'll order out.

Oh, excuse me. Can you tell me where Elm Street is, please?

Huh? Excuse me. Can you tell me where Elm Street is, please?

Get out!

Charlie, for goodness sake! Stay down, Catherine!

I can't! I can't!

Get down!

Let me see.

Let me see. I'm so sorry. You stay away from her.

You shot her.

I know. I didn't mean it. Please believe me. She was jumped up as I turned. I

was being fired on. Please.

I'm so sorry. And the paramedics are coming. They're on their way, okay? Who,

the police?

Yes. Yes, I am.

My wife was shot by a cop?

By the police?

What were you thinking of?

What the hell were you thinking of?

Oh, God. What the hell was I thinking of?

Let me see if I got this right. You pass by this market. You see a 211 in

progress. You didn't know that for sure.

You're sure enough to turn around.

You don't call it in. You enter the market with no backup.

Then, with civilians in the line of fire, you attempt an arrest.

Outnumbered, outgunned, out of position.

Those are the words, but that's not how it happened.

We're reading it right off the page.

Put your own spin on it.

You're a real dirty Harry, aren't you?

There was no other choice.

Ah, there never is with a hot shot here.

I'm only surprised that we didn't need any body bags.

You shot a civilian.

Now, she's going to be fine, but we're not.

When they get around to suing the police department for $10 million, are you

going to explain it to the commissioner?

She jumped in the way.

Oh, well, that makes it all right, then.

You weren't there.

Back off, Squinty.

You should have backed off, Peter. You should have backed off and thought about

it.

But you don't back off, do you? You're wrong.

That's exactly what I did.

I backed off.

I hesitated and I shouldn't have. That's why the woman was shot.

Me.

It's never happened before.

You guys are right.

I'm a liability.

That woman was shot.

She could have been killed.

It could have been my partner.

Okay, Peter, don't overreact.

I thought you said that's what I'm good at.

What is this?

You want this badge?

You got it.

Wait a minute.

It's okay. I got to do this.

going to say.

He told me rain's only friend is the tough skin to roll on.

I can't take the rain any longer, Father.

Everything you do is so specific.

And so precise.

You know, don't you?

No doubt.

No uncertainty.

They've always known who you are.

But not me.

You are not going to class?

No. Why?

I don't know.

I do not know is not an acceptable answer.

It's nothing.

Come.

Far away.

To defeat or please.

Distance changes everything.

It's just a statue.

You do not choose to see beyond the obvious.

I don't want to do anything anymore.

I can't.

It's dumb everything all of it I Just

want to be by myself I'll be

in my secret place

Hey,

how you doing?

Where's Kane?

He quit. Yeah, right.

You serious?

He has a heart attack.

Where'd he go?

I don't know.

Peter?

It's open.

I didn't want to wait in the hall, and you and I got to talk about it.

Who the hell are you?

What are you doing here?

I, um, came.

Cain what?

Cain.

You related to Petey? I am his father.

Ah, ah.

So you're the guy, huh?

The one who walked out on him.

We were separated.

I had thought he was dead.

Yeah, well, that'd be law number three.

Excuses are like butts. Everybody's got one. They all stink.

Some kids you leave.

I should know.

I got three of them in Baltimore, and they're all scum.

Peter's a good kid.

Him, you shouldn't have left.

Hey, where you been? I've been looking for you.

You got what I need. You saw Stella in the green hornet, so come on, kid. It's

you and me back out on the street. Let's go. Come on.

Peter, we must talk.

There's nothing to talk about here.

It is what it is.

I'm going away for a while.

I need some time.

I'll be back.

Am I the reason for this decision?

No.

It had nothing to do with it. Not exactly.

All right. Yes.

You've got a little bit to do.

See it in your eyes.

What?

Judgment.

From me.

Yes.

About what I am, what I do.

I know you don't like it.

I have never given you any such indication.

Well, you haven't had to.

I'm a cop. I carry a gun. I'm surrounded by violence.

I live with it. I'm a part of it.

I thought I knew who I was.

Shoot from the hip, react, go for broke.

Then you come back into my life.

Start asking questions about what I've learned.

Street stuff.

I think, okay, this is fun. I can handle this.

Then in the supermarket, I hesitate.

I can never let that happen again.

And then there's a whole other thing.

If I'm not a cop, who am I?

I'm your son.

That is someone I haven't thought about in 15 years. Not really.

I'm not the same person that you talked.

I'm a mess.

Jesus, how about some cheese with all this wine? Come on, kid, we got to roll.

I quit, didn't you hear?

I hear what I want to hear.

You saw Stella and the Green Hornet. Yeah. Yes. So let's go. You're the one I

need.

We must talk.

So have them for dinner.

No. Forget no. There are people out there who are going to get hurt.

Innocent people. Yeah, like the woman I shot. Yeah, just like her. We can stop

that. Yeah, maybe I'll kill somebody this time.

Maybe you will. It's part of the deal. It happened, so let's go.

Hey, partner.

I need you.

Here, let's take it from the other side, all right?

You're me, I'm you.

You come to me, you say, partner, come with me, I need you. What do I say? No

matter what's happening in my life.

No matter whether my father showed up, whether my father died.

What am I going to say? You think I'd let you down?

Peter. Hey, you let him talk, all right?

No.

Be with me.

How far?

Wouldn't matter.

So what's the house number?

The grown man will be here when you get back.

Listen, the kid, he took a pretty bad fall recently.

And, you know, the shooting, it shook him up really good. It happened. So I

to get him back on the horse.

I'm sorry if I was tough on you.

How do you like my new outfit?

I think it's nice.

I said I think it's nice!

It's nice.

Look at me.

Am I so hard to look at?

Look at me all over.

It's okay, I don't mind.

What the hell are you doing?

I need direction. I need something!

We'll get what you need.

We'll get it done.

What's the plan?

Epi's theory on cop work.

99 % perspiration, 1 % inspiration.

So we'll drive around in sweat until we get inspired.

Slow down here. Slow down.

At least there's no change for a set.

Donnie! Sorry, man. I can't help you.

Donnie, don't you run?

Don't you run?

Run? I don't think he can.

Donnie! Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

How's Ida know?

Just check it out.

Someone yelled someone's name in a public place. Well, it's only prudent

to run. Am I wrong or what?

Uh -oh.

Oh, you two know each other. Oh, yeah, from in front.

Sargent, what it is. Long and loose is worth my hope.

I didn't recognize you. Your hair grew back and no dress.

You know why I did that.

Donnie, there's no players in town.

Hey, Pete, every day brings new arrives.

Such is the kind of town we have. There are many, many opportunities.

Which is not to say you coppers aren't all lax or ineffective.

But these visitors play the naked turtle.

Naked turtle?

You heard anything?

In this particular area, nothing has been brought to my attention.

And if it is?

You'll be the first to know.

Thanks. Yeah.

Oh, Pete, Pete, Pete.

Could you perhaps... Thanks.

Hey, Pete.

They are here.

Where? They may be working five corners.

They're here for the fast score, and then they're gone. And for my

the lady, along with her other attributes, has a short fuse and a sweet

Thank you, Turtle.

I say we move on.

What? We're broke.

We have to do this now.

The timing is right. I checked my chart.

Too chancy.

Why?

Look at what happened. Some lucky cop interrupts a stick -up.

Good for him, bad for us.

That's all that it was.

It worked before.

It'll work again.

Donny D said she had a sweet tooth.

This is the only bakery in the area.

This is a possible.

Look at this.

What? The tinted jug. Just around the corner.

There's a case in the joint.

They're probably just looking for a parking spot. No, no, no. They just

two empty ones.

This is it. It's got to be. Eppy.

Even for you, this is thin. Oh, you got something better?

Remember, Eppie's rule number four. It's better to be inside where it's warm

than outside where it's cold.

Yeah, what about Eppie's rule number 11?

Oh, you mean the one where it's better to be with a broad than chasing a felon?

Well, broads are rare, felons are everywhere.

Let's get in there. This is the best of both.

It's a broad who's a felon.

Ah, ha, ha, ha.

Yes, indeed.

There they are again.

It's going down.

Eppie, Eppie, hold it. We better call for backup.

What do you want to do? Have a parade? We got to get in there, make it nice,

it up, get it ready, catch them with their pants down, so to speak. We need a

solid case on this.

I just think it would be safer, that's all. Oh, that's a strange word coming

from you.

Where do I get this madman reputation?

Maybe I should just carry an extra gun and a knife in my boot. I thought you

did.

That's a joke.

I'm out of here.

Where are you going?

Into this.

No, you're going to walk on me.

No kidding.

Not on me.

You don't quit on me.

Come on. Hey, my spear's in the glove compartment.

Okay, come on. Let's go. Let's go.

Everybody out of the back? Well, yes, but... Give me this. Give me this. Are

sure nothing's going to go wrong?

To tell you the truth, I don't even know if they're going to hit this place. But

if they do, we'll be ready. I heard a woman got shot at the supermarket.

Are these the same guys?

But we weren't ready that time. This time, we'll be ready. Go, go, go, go,

Go.

Oh, great. Great. Look at this. Oh, perfect.

Very good.

Scalini, just what we need.

Thank you. What are you doing?

He came to the precinct looking for you, and he said it was important. Spillany,

you do understand we have a stakeout here. Yeah, okay. We must talk.

I can't right now. Bad guys are coming.

We must.

In the back.

Let's go. Come on.

Go, please, please.

All right, what is it?

Peter, I know you are confused and uncertain.

You anticipate disaster.

You blame it on me?

No. Yeah. No.

Then what?

All right, maybe I do blame it on you.

You put thoughts in my head.

And that is bad.

That is fatal.

I can't afford that. I'm a cop.

You know, maybe what they say about me is true. Maybe I do make preemptive

moves, but it's always worked for me.

That's the way I am.

And I have changed that.

No, you have not changed that. I've changed that.

Do you remember the Persian flaw?

Yes.

The Persian flaw is the flaw that Persian carpet makers put in their

So that they won't be perfect because they believe that only God can aspire to

perfection.

What has that got to do with me?

Each of us has within us our own Persian flaw.

One of mine is being slightly insane.

No. A loose cannon.

No.

Yours is being too concerned about the opinions of those who love you.

Oh, and that's a flaw?

It can be.

If you think that their opinion of you is the reason for their love, Peter,

it is you that I love with all your flaws.

You do not have to change for me.

And anyway, you can't.

You are the same person you were when you were a little boy.

The man is no different from the boy, only more so.

When you were a child, you would protect the smaller, weaker ones from those who

would prey on them.

Peter, you are the same as you have always been.

It's right up here.

I'm ready.

Disappointed in me.

Because I'm a cop.

Because I carry a gun.

No.

But that does not mean that I will not continue to teach and

counsel you.

Does that mean that you'll stop slapping me?

You should let him in.

Well, well, well.

Look who's coming for their daily bread. It's them.

Company's arrived. Okay, go out the back. No, there's no time. Did they see

Yeah, they made me for sure. I don't know about Scalini. No, no, I don't

so. Go in the back. Go in the back. And you, grab this mop. Make it look like

you've done it before.

I have.

Scalini, cover him. Yeah.

for the day oh no my boss has dropped an office party in our left and i need

cakes and cookies for 100 people yesterday please 100 well i guess we

up the oven we got a 211 in progress code two but come quick please

i have a list it'll make it easier that way i'd really appreciate it

Good.

Yeah, perfect for those intimate shootouts.

You eat this bread, baby.

Perhaps the Persian flaw in your character has something to do with

exhibitionism?

It worked, didn't it?

Put your apron on.

You'll scare the horses.

brought a friend.

Oh, darn.

You've got your clothes on.

Nice train set.

One day, I'll come over with my coloring books.

Party, party, party.

You two just bump into each other, thought you'd drop by and make fun of

Actually, um, when you cleaned out your desk...

You forgot this.

And this.

It's a badge.

I know that.

Thanks.

Where are you going?

Dinner. Oh.

All right, well, I'll get my coat.

You are not invited.

Wait a second.

You two are having a date or something?

Well, you know, yeah.

So what would you have done if I hadn't taken my badge back?

Well, you might say it could have become ugly.

How do you do that pop?

Do not wait up for me
