Thank you.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Why are you like this?

Why are you like this?

You know what it's going to take and so do I.

Yeah,

but to hear them talk to solve the problem is a big mystery.

The commissioner wants to look good when he takes credit for the idea.

Your Chinatown is no different to any other.

It's control from within.

Then we've got to take control back.

Detective Peter Kane, Roger Chin, just transferred over from the 66th. Welcome

to the ward. Thank you.

What's happened?

Jimmy Mods is back.

So what?

Natural causes.

Apparently.

So it starts.

Hey, you guys act like the Pope just died.

The two main tongs in Chinatown, the Wak Ma Tong and the Zhou Tong. Jimmy Ma was

the head of the Zhou Tong, the most powerful. Good.

That's one left of those bastards.

You're missing the point, detective.

The point is, is that with Jimmy Ma's death, a vacuum's been created.

This one will be filled quickly and probably with violence.

You thought about any likely candidates to take Jimmy's chair? There's not going

to be anybody that I know or have heard of.

I thought you were supposed to be the expert on Chinatown.

As long as we're a close society, they don't even talk to themselves.

What about your father?

Stratton. Priests are even more on the outside. Look, I think information on

this is going to be very difficult to obtain.

When did this happen?

Well, maybe not for me.

Well, I can use all the help I can get.

Thanks, Sherman.

Pete. Pete!

We just found a body in a car on the edge of Chinatown. Murdered gangland

It'd take long to get started.

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

Well, 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 pop. That's who I am. That's

what I do.

I am King.

I will help you.

Master King.

I am here to respectfully ask for your help.

Come.

Sit, please.

Have some tea, and we will talk.

It is not me who needs you.

It's my brother.

He's a man you know, and a man you may hate.

I hate no man.

I pray that is true.

My name is Kit Yu Choi.

My brother is Clarence Choi.

Clarence Choi.

Gotcha.

I guess you've already figured out the deal.

But in case you haven't, you move the lid a little bit and boom.

I'll go and do it with you.

And if I move it now, we both die.

That's right.

You'd hell of a joke on me, wouldn't it?

You remember him?

Yes.

I remember him.

He called me from prison and requested that I ask you most respectfully and

most humbly if you could visit him.

He says it's very important that he see a Shaolin priest.

I know your anger may be great, but please help him.

Thanks a lot.

It's Tommy Luan.

There's four shootings in three days from Skimmy Mudd. Can we have some room

here, please? Detective Kane, Sandra Mason, Channel 3 Action News. Wrong guy.

Come on, you're not Detective Peter Kane? He retired.

He went to Hawaii or something. Look, Detective, I know you're from the

with the school bus. Give us a little time. Could I just have a minute of your

time?

Now, from everything I've been hearing, Tommy Luan was freelance.

A wannabe, but definitely not connected to any of the Tongs.

Tommy was a very ambitious guy.

Yeah, but this hit may not be connected, is what I'm saying.

Bird flies, a spider is born.

Each event is connected, for nothing occurs in isolation.

Man, you sound just like my grandfather.

Yeah, mine too.

Killers use automatic weapons.

Okay, let's see.

The other children ducked out of the way when they heard the gunfire.

of the victims is Tommy LeWong.

I told you I don't have time to talk. There are rumors of a Tong war. Is this

start? There are rumors. That's what you're calling them. That's what they

Now, I want to get back to my investigation.

They say that the Tongs rule Chinatown and you cops have to get permission just

to direct traffic.

How do you respond?

No Tong or group of Tongs or thugs by any other name rule Chinatown. Now,

I'm a cop.

Then I guess you must feel personally responsible, even guilty for what

to that little girl. Because if what you say is correct, then you failed to

protect her. Isn't that right, detective?

No. Now, you are wrong. Now, if you were looking for a reaction, you were damn

close to getting one. That's all we can ask for.

Masterful. I love the way you handle the press. I'll leave all media relations

to you now. Okay, that was not one of the smartest things I've done, okay?

Hey, at least you had the lead for the 6 o 'clock news. That's great. Shoot me

up.

I hate this.

I hate what's happening on these streets.

I know.

It rips your heart out.

I can't get that image out of my head.

I'm going to have a child one day, and if a stray bullet takes that child from

my life... I looked at the anguish in that woman's eyes, and I think for the

first time I understood how my father must have felt when he thought I was

Your father?

My father.

I'll tell you about it sometime.

Let's get these witnesses wrapped up and down to the station.

Okay, let's start him off with the mugshot books. Yeah, for all the good

going to do. But, hey, we'll give it a shot. Well, if they don't recognize

anyone, send them into Kermit, the computer room. Pop, I was looking for

Kermit? He wears green glasses. Can't miss him.

Okay.

Hey.

Hi.

Listen, I wanted to talk to you while hell's breaking loose in Chinatown.

Now, listen, I normally ask you not to interfere, but I could use all the help

can get this time.

There he is.

Something I must do first.

A prisoner has asked to see me as a priest.

Prisoner? Yes.

They brought him down from state prison to his uncle's funeral, Jimmy Ma.

What thug would get compassionate leave to bury a Tong leader?

I did.

I'm not here to see him, Pop.

Yes.

Pop, we see this all the time.

These bad guys get sent to prison, they find the path to righteousness, and then

a Detroit minute after they're out, it's goodbye, straight and narrow, hello,

back to business as usual. Come on, Pop. You don't want to listen to me. You

don't believe this stuff any way you think differently, don't you?

It is possible for all of us to change.

Some of us, not all of us.

I believe there are those that were flawed during manufacturing and should

recalled.

Come by when you're finished. I got to talk to you.

Innocent people could die.

And those who, in your judgment, are not innocent, are they not worth saving

too?

Yeah, them too.

You're not looking so good, cop.

Job got you frazzled?

Fainted.

Convicted.

Hey, Pete, you made the news again.

No, you're wrong.

You were wrong. If you were looking for a reaction, you're damn close to getting

one.

Nicky Elder finished his autopsy on Jimmy Moth.

Let me guess, there wasn't one from column A that killed him.

Poison, crush root of a plant native to China. Nicky said he almost missed it.

And the mayor wants a meeting, 8 p .m. tomorrow.

Yes. An innocent child dies, a reporter... We'll get him to the car

right away.

The streets of Chinatown are out of control.

Violence rules and more will surely die.

This is Sandra Mason reporting from the War Zone, a .k .a.

Chinatown. Back to you, Paul.

You got ten minutes.

Oh, you never left my mind, priest.

Not for one moment.

There was a time when all I could think about was how I wanted to get my hands

on you.

But then it changed.

Sit down, please.

Then it was like you were there.

Okay, and I was talking to you.

Long conversations.

Interesting ones about life, purpose, goal.

You're always big on goal.

The dialogue was with yourself.

Yeah, maybe.

You know, prison may have been the best thing that ever happened to me.

Yeah, if I'd only known, I would have gotten you out of there sooner.

Oh, I was ready for the isolation.

I needed the monastic experience to redirect my life.

Will you listen to this?

I thought this was supposed to be a private conversation between a man and

priest. Yeah.

We're violating about a dozen rules by just being here.

I'm not looking for something to take before it.

I don't think Clarence would get off his butt for his own funeral.

If he's here for another reason, I want to know what it is. And besides, he

means to hurt my father.

I want to be here.

Not that it wasn't hard at first. It was with the wall pushing in.

But then, and I gotta thank you for this, then I realized that the first

the path to enlightenment is acceptance.

The arrest, the conviction, prison, I embraced it.

But it didn't stop there.

No, man, it began inside self -realization goals.

I developed a new kind of chico.

I mean, as a kid, I studied this stuff, but only now do those lessons make

sense.

Oh, an entirely new discipline.

Maybe I should package it, huh?

Prison, the religion.

What do you think?

You already have an audience.

Yeah, that's right.

A captive audience.

The thing is, most of them in there, they don't realize the opportunity to be

presented with what...

Maybe that's why I wanted to kill you in the first place.

Yeah, kill the thing you can't become.

Anyway, as all this rolls around in my brain, it comes to me. It comes to me

I should be more of a benefactor to my community rather than just some, oh,

mindless predator.

What is it you wish from me?

Tell us, Clarence. What is it you want from my old man?

All I want is for there to be...

Between you and me. Between us.

I want you to know that I intend you no harm.

And that I apologize if I did anything that caused you harm.

I'm offering you my friendship.

And I... I hope that, uh...

That you accept it.

Who had the escort duty on Clarence Choi?

Maxwell.

What do you mean, had?

I got it now.

It's a nothing assignment.

Escort a prisoner to a funeral, escort him back again. It doesn't seem worthy

your special talents.

What's the deal?

I think Clarence is getting ready to go back into business.

You think?

I think he's using Jimmy as an excuse for meetings with the Tong boys.

Clarence is a member of the Jotun. He's my catalyst.

He can get me in that door.

The judge says that you can go to this funeral, so let's go.

You know, I thought you'd have me in cuffs.

Wait, I'm going to say this once, all right? So we get set and there's no

misunderstanding. I say jump, you jump. I say stop, you stop. Don't argue, don't

hesitate. Whatever you do, Clarence, don't run.

You know, I told the judge that I was going to go to the funeral and then back

to prison.

And I will do that, all right? I'm going to do that.

But since you want to be clear about everything, we might as well be straight

about this.

If I wanted to go, you know, to run, there's nothing that you could do to

me. I brought you down once. I could bring you down again anytime I want. You

know it, and I know it. So if I was to run now, you, uh, you think that you

could stop me, right?

You think not?

I know not.

Oh, someone's been doing their homework, huh?

Come on. Come on.

Hurts, don't it?

Like hitting a brick wall.

You know, it's amazing what you can accomplish in a solitude of prison.

The cards say that which you already know.

There is great tragedy coming.

Pain and sorrow for everyone in Chinatown. There is nothing I can do.

No. Are you sure?

It's here, in the card.

Your tricks can fool me, but fate cannot be fooled. Could it be that

that which was known is now proved to be illusion, and what

you see now is the truth? It's not that possible.

Your words are traps.

Read the cards, Yuan Yi.

Tell me what they say.

They say... I should help you.

Then do so.

How?

Donald Wu comes to you for advice.

Yes.

Tell him it would be to his benefit if he would meet with me.

You are an arrogant man, Shaolin.

It is a dangerous time for the leader of the Wak Ma Tong since the death of his

rival.

Arrange the meeting.

Beware, Shaolin.

One pit stop.

Gotta pick up my family.

Clarence!

To see you does my heart good.

Heart? What heart?

A man.

Home sweet home.

When did you get out? Last week.

Hey, Lawrence.

What's going on?

Why are these men waiting for you? Where's your family, your aunt, and the

of them?

Oh, all the family I want to see is right here.

Who is he?

What's he doing here?

Why, did he make you nervous?

I have to be very selective of the restaurants I tell.

Well, if you don't want them here, throw them out.

An excellent suggestion.

Good to see you.

We need you to lead us. That's a good idea.

You have to. Everybody's got one.

Where'd they go? I don't know.

Perfect. Perfect. I didn't think it'd be this easy.

Go ahead.

Oh, sorry.

Looks like your hands are shaking, Detective.

Well, those are mean streets out there, Detective Morgan.

I thought you had a prisoner.

Uh, locked him.

How careless. You lost him.

Easy come, easy go.

You lost them?

I don't have them. I didn't lose them, not exactly.

Then what exactly?

The hook is in his mouth. I'm just letting him run.

You let him run?

Look, I knew he'd go. I just didn't know when. Here's what I think's happening.

Clarence has been nominated to take over for the late Jimmy Ma.

That's a hell of a career move, especially from prison.

The ceremony or whatever it is they use to anoint a new leader is tomorrow. Then

I think he's going to go back to the slant. Look, this is bizarre.

He's out. Why not try to stay out?

Whether he's in or out is not important to him anymore. Look, let's pick him up.

We'll flood the streets. We'll have him in before breakfast. No, no.

This is Chinatown. Let me take care of this.

At least wear a wire, Peter, so we can monitor you. I won't need one.

I'll call you guys if I need your help.

One day.

That attitude's gonna get him killed.

It is odd. You have been in Chinatown all these months, yet we have never met.

Yes.

You did not need the woman to arrange this.

Those of us joined in the Tong have always honored the Shaolin.

You shaped a flame.

There were times when I thought you might come to me for a...

The fact that you were prepared to provide that assistance has always been

great comfort to me.

So, now you enter my house.

There is a service I can now provide.

The wrong person has been chosen to replace Jimmy Ma. The chair must be

Clarence Choi will bring chaos.

The balance of the community will be destroyed.

There will be more bloodshed. It has already been decided.

If you here come to me to ask to interfere,

I must disappoint you. I will not.

Thank you.

You misunderstand.

I said I will not interfere.

No. I understand perfectly.

And I hold you to your word.

When Clarence is proven unworthy, you will not interfere.

If you're mistaken, Shaolin, nothing will protect you.

Only what protects me now.

I need to make this personal. I have to bring Clarence down in public.

This game, his way, one -on -one.

That is exactly what you must do, my son.

Well, that is exactly what I wanted to do.

I thought I could do this myself.

I'm smarter. I'm faster.

I've learned a lot of martial arts since Clarence went away.

The problem is Phil's clearance.

You think if you challenge him, he will defeat you?

I know he'll defeat me.

I can't overcome his Shikun.

I need you to do it, Pop.

Peter, you must do it.

I can't.

Do you remember?

when that monk came to the temple and showed us thee.

How can you do that with the trick?

It is not a trick.

Iron shirt is a discipline.

The monk has learned to make his skin into iron.

But how?

Strength comes from within.

Look at his chest.

Take a look.

Do you remember our conversations about...

Bai Jing?

Yes.

That's the ability to discharge the power of the qi.

No. That is Zhijun.

Bai Jing is the ability to reduce the power of your opponent's qi.

And, uh... Do you remember what you learned about the

third eye?

Yes. It's here.

It looks within. Yes.

It sees what others cannot. I can teach you

how to control this power.

Master.

Will you prepare the room? Of course. I will get Master Dao to assist me.

Take this that the Dalai Lama gave me, my son.

We must take a great risk.

In order to understand the third eye of your opponent,

you must...

First, realize your own.

How do I do that?

Through that door, there is a corridor.

At the end of the corridor, there is a candle.

You must walk through that corridor.

Do not focus on anything else.

At the end of the corridor, when you are close to the candle, you must try

to extinguish it.

All of your focus, all of your energy, your chi must be

with the candle.

Okay, so if I lose focus, I die?

No.

I am using the candle to bring my Shingon to you.

No, wait, wait.

If you give me your Chi, your Shingon, what will happen to you?

I will be in a weakened state

when it is over.

Do not search.

Do what it is you must do The effect will not last long

I will go first

Day trip's over, Clarence.

You're angry.

But I had to ditch you at the restaurant to keep you safe.

Everything would have gone up in our faces if I hadn't gotten you out of

Time to go back.

I got one more thing to do.

Sorry.

Don't you interfere in this.

Don't you interfere. I've waited too long. I planned a sacrifice.

This is my destiny.

Your destiny is sitting on cell block C watching reruns of the dating game. I'm

about to be sworn in as the leader of the Zotang.

I can end the Tong War in Chinatown. I can stop the killing, the chaos. Isn't

that what you want?

Yes. Then?

The end justifies the means.

I don't even know why I'm arguing with you. I don't even know. I mean, we both

know there's nothing you can do to stop me.

Right? There's nothing.

You don't want me to embarrass you in front of these people right now, do you?

mean, that would destroy your chances of being made.

To have a Western policeman knock you down and drag you out of here like a

I told you that this is the time for the new generation.

This policeman here, he is reacting from pride.

He will not shoot me and he cannot defeat me.

That means he is within my circle.

This is

my business.

This man is my prisoner. Do not interfere.

Let's go, Clint.

Oh.

Why?

Why is it always like this?

We are gathered here today to peacefully go about our business. We do not intend

to cause this man any harm.

And yet, he is here to exude...

His authority over us. That's all this is.

Just wait.

When I'm finished, I'll leave with you.

No.

Better wear you down, cop.

Like water on rock.

I meant what I said about your friendship.

You told me that there are many aspects to the soul.

The solitude I am facing will force me to confront them.

When I leave this place, perhaps I will be worthy of your friendship.

Your brother, Clarence.

Pop! Hey, Pop, are you here?

Hello. You want to know what keeps going through my mind about what happened?

Not Clarence.

Not what's going to happen to Tongs. Not who's going to take over Chinatown Pop.

What keeps going through my mind is that you must have incredible control.

I'm serious. Because if you feel all the time the way I felt for that few hours,

I don't know how you keep a lid on it.

That was unbelievable.

I could have called a dozen of my favorite women.

Half dozen.

Anyway.

You know what I mean?

I think I do.

Well, how do you do it?

With great difficulty.

Pop, I'm serious.

Since Mom died, how have you been able to stay the way you are?

How is it that I am? You know what I mean. No women.

Are you ready for dinner?

I heard you took Clarence in.

It's nice work.

Shall we go?

Yes.

Excuse us.

We have a date.

Dad is going.

They can't be.
