I feel the cold It goes to me Side by side When love is all

I walk alone

You gotta be fucking joking.

No, I'm not.

I want to quit.

Max...

I'm tired.

The clubs... The smoke... I'm tired.

The drinking...

The side deals...

I want to go with my family.

I love my wife.

We want to come into this fucking club.

Back off.

Hey!

Don't touch me.

My money's not good enough for you.

Get out of here.

Shit, man.

Who the fuck do you think you are?

Come on.

What is the problem?

What's your problem?

Fuck!

I just want to come to this fucking club.

Get nut.

I'm tired.

Fuck!

Ben!

Ben!

Come!

No, really.

It's finished.

Can you stop playing video games and go to bed now, please?

No, please.

Good evening, sir.

Hi, dad.

How are you?

How was my boy?

He was very good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Thank you.

You didn't see me for ten days.

Where's my kiss?

Thank you for everything.

Oh.

Here it is.

Thank you, Dad.

Can I have that?

Do you want to play, dad?

Yeah.

I'm not an expert.

That is what I'm talking about.

I'm beating you, Dad.

I'm beating you.

No, no.

Wow.

That's me, no?

No, that's me.

That's you?

Can you teach me how to fight, Dad?

You know how to fight.

Look at you.

So fast.

I mean, real.

Not like this.

Let's stay upstairs.

Come on.

Let's have a good time.

Okay.

Trust me.

Come on.

I'm tired.

Come with me.

Uh,

you send them to the morgue and call the Chinese embassy.

Sure.

How's she doing?

She's gonna be fine.

Look, I know this is against the rules, but I'd like to take her home with me.

Just for the night.

You know, I turned 52 last week.

So I'm old.

I got a heart problem.

I got a kidney infection.

But I didn't die.

I didn't know I had a hearing problem.

She's been through hell.

I don't think we can dump her in some detention center.

Why?

She's only 14.

Think what she's been through.

She speak any English?

No, I didn't think so.

Look, she's just another refugee.

What makes her so special?

Have a heart, Hoggins.

I'm glad I told you I got a heart problem, huh?

Please.

Yeah.

Make sure she's at the hearing tomorrow.

She goes through processing.

Right.

And I don't want to lose my job over this.

Are you okay?

I'm Cynthia.

Do you speak English?

What's your name?

You're coming home with me.

Is that okay with you?

Good.

I'm here!

Hi, honey!

How are you?

Hi.

This is Kim.

This is my husband, Ben.

Why don't you take a seat?

I've missed you.

I'm going to go and run you a bath, Kim.

Okay?

It's all right.

It's chocolate.

Feel better now?

Where are you from, Kim?

You don't want to talk to me?

It's okay.

Goodnight sweetheart.

What's wrong, Kim?

I need the light.

Can you explain to me how to speak Chinese?

My parents are Chinese.

Now go and sleep.

So you brought your homework, huh?

I did.

I need this.

So how was Dallas?

Fine.

I just had to help out a friend.

That's my husband.

Mystery man.

You know I don't like to talk about my job.

I know.

I've been 20 years in the bar business, you know.

It's a different world than yours.

And I did stuff I'm not proud of.

In my life.

I just want to protect my family.

Ben, I'm a social worker for the INS.

I see terrible things every day.

I'm not an idiot.

I know the man I married.

My club owner from Assay.

I've thought about this a thousand times.

At some point I just gave up.

Even trying to find an answer.

But do you know why?

Because I know you better than you know yourself.

You're a wonderful man.

And you changed your life for us.

And I just want you to know that means everything to me.

Don't ever leave me.

I won't.

I love you.

Why are you looking for me?

Where are the others?

I love your wife.

Hi!

I miss my wife, the girl I raised.

Don't you know how much I love you?

It was because of her.

This is the first time I've wanted to say it.

That's that.

Now I'm asking you a question and I have nothing to do but say yes.

I love that.

R diffusion.

No, don't try to get me mad.

You're just taking my wife to your hospital, don't you know?

Stop kind of old woman.

How much did I do to you?

She's older, why are you calling me herself?

Do you know that?

One hundred and fifty dollars... I don't want to bring stuff like this to me.

Your honor, she's in danger.

Why?

Her mother was killed.

And clearly this is a matter for the Hong Kong police.

Hongens, I want you to contact the proper authorities over there.

I'm going to order immediate deportation.

Your honor, give me a week to prove my case.

Don't tell me the United States government won't give me a chance to look after her.

I need one week.

She is in danger if she goes back to Hong Kong.

I'm just asking for one week.

One week.

You have been placed under the authority of the U.S.

Immigration Service.

You're allowed to make one phone call.

You're entitled to an attorney.

If you can't afford one, tough shit, you're in the first boat back to China.

So, we finally meet.

You like Malibu?

If you need anything, let me know, I'll fix it for you.

Please sit down.

We lost two mules.

You know, the heroin exploded in their stomachs.

Now that happens when people don't get enough water to drink.

So, in future, you know, just look after them a little better, huh?

That's your problem.

No, you see, that's our problem.

I don't like paying for what I don't get, you know.

Did you find my girl?

We're doing business, huh?

Two million dollars.

Next shipment, 20 million.

And the next shipment is Wednesday, right?

And, uh, yeah, I did you a favor.

I found your girl.

She came in on one of your boats.

Ain't that a kick, huh?

Did you touch her?

What?

Did you touch her?

The fuck you think I am?

Did you let a girl with the white people?

She's with a social worker.

I thought she'd be better off there than in a detention center.

You got a problem with white people?

Nice doing business with you, Mr. Quang.

Go like that.

Oh.

When I arrived here, I had to work ten years to pay for my freedom.

Nothing has changed.

Still, thousands come, prepared to be slaves for a new life.

Tommy, can you stop talking about politics just for one minute?

Can't you see she's upset?

It's okay, Mom.

We probably shouldn't be talking about this right now.

Poor child.

She's tired.

Why don't you go to your room?

Nicholas, go with Kim if you like.

Come on, Kim.

Let's go.

Oh, she's sleeping.

In the house, will be never again seeing a lie.

Oops.

You see anything?

No.

What about my gun?

We gotta keep it for evidence.

I'm gonna go.

Where are you going?

To find my son.

You'll find Nicholas.

You got the city covered, okay?

Yeah.

I know

that's the guys outside the restaurant.

Sure you don't want me to stay with you?

You're a free man.

I have to find Nicola.

I love you.

I love you too.

I love you too.

Max, Ben, what the hell happened?

Where's Nicola?

In the room sleeping.

He's okay.

What happened?

Where is she?

The little girl.

She's over there.

Wake up.

Ken!

Wake up.

This man is taking it easy.

Who killed my wife?

Talk to me.

I heard the shot.

I took Nicola so we ran away.

I'm sorry.

Andy Wang.

Do you know him?

Andy Wang.

Who's after you?

St. Kwan.

Who's St. Kwan?

Please talk to me.

He followed me.

He killed my mother.

He killed my mother.

He killed my mother.

He killed my mother.

He killed my mother.

He killed my mother.

He killed my mother.

He killed my mother.

He killed my mother.

He

killed my mother.

Where did he go, my mother?

Dad?

Where's mom?

She's dead, baby.

Tony's here.

Do you know about Wang?

He's a Chinese triad.

He owns a warehouse downtown.

He eggs out there all the time.

I heard it's from a hooker who comes to the club.

For sure.

I'm sure.

Let's go there.

Let's get Wang.

No.

Take Raymond with you.

Raymond will stay with Max.

Max, if something happens...

Nicholas is your son.

Raymond, get the guns.

That's her.

Hey, sweetie.

He's upstairs, room 107.

Thanks.

Don't worry.

It's our deal.

Arkins.

What are you doing here?

This is an INS business.

Checking things out.

This might be connected to Cynthia Archer's murder.

You got any ideas?

Two guys, ski masks, no fingerprints.

Professional job.

Been here a hell of a day.

No.

They keep me posted, huh?

We have a problem.

Andy Wang is dead.

Your little song and dance routine at Mama Li's restaurant didn't help.

Cops didn't like the music too much.

To make matters worse, the Chinese embassy fucked up, the

bodies weren't cremated, so they're gonna find the heroin.

So what I'm saying is, everything is fucked up.

I'm postponing the deal.

The only thing you'll postpone in life is death.

Oh, spare me that oriental crap.

What's that supposed to mean anyway?

You threatening me?

If you feel it is, then it must be.

I'm in no mood for Chinese fucking riddles, okay?

The deal will not change.

I must have my money by Wednesday.

Oh, fuck.

You are so cool.

You know that?

Yeah.

You don't think we have a problem?

We are supposed to be running a quiet little smuggling operation here,

and you have turned it into a fucking movie.

One man walks into your whorehouse and takes out three of your guys.

I think that's a problem.

I speak to LAPD.

They tell me they think his name is Ben Archer.

Now, you killed Ben Archer's wife.

I think we got a big fucking problem.

It's too late.

You do not want back out now.

A little pause... and we are back.

Ben, do you want a little coffee?

Yeah.

How do we find Son Quan now?

First we find who the fuck he is.

We should talk to Huggins.

He's immigration.

We should know something.

Hiya Raymond, how's the English?

No.

Still jack shit?

No.

Ben?

Yeah.

Max?

I knew you'd be here.

Raymond.

In cafe.

What happened at your house last night?

I broke a window by accident.

And shooting seven rounds in the street, that was... Accident.

You weren't at a war house in Third Street last night, were you?

No.

And Tony, you were at the club, right?

Right.

Right.

Well...

Two gunmen snuffed a... A guy called Andy Wang.

They wore ski masks.

We know they're Caucasian.

Anyway...

I don't give a shit.

Guy was a drug dealer and a pimp.

When I got there, it was an absolute mess.

Huggins from Arkansas.

I.N.S.

He even showed up.

Huggins?

Yeah.

I'm still trying to figure that out.

I'll show myself out.

Drop by any time.

You're leaving again.

I have to find who did that to Mom.

Don't go!

Nicola...

I need you to be strong.

I'll be back, I promise.

I'll come back, Nicola.

You know that.

What

the fuck is this?

What the fuck is this?

I mean, what the fuck do you want?

Who's San Juan?

Who killed my wife?

Who's San Juan?

Where is he?

Do you know what we do with a piece of shit like you in Marseilles?

I don't know who killed your wife.

I don't know who the fuck San Juan is.

Talk to me.

Max...

We can talk.

Raymond, please!

What do you want?

Mr. Costa, I'm at the morgue.

Listen, I'm investigating the death of a

couple of immigrants Cynthia was working with.

You gotta see this.

Okay.

I'm coming.

Okay.

I'll be waiting for you.

Something important.

Come back.

We need you.

Don't go away now.

Come back.

Listen to me.

You hear me?

Listen very carefully.

Where do we find the fucking Chinaman?

Don't you fucking scream!

What are you doing with San Juan?

He's gonna do it.

Heroin.

Heroin?

You bringing that shit to this country?

Yeah!

You're doing heroin to this motherfucker!

Raymond, drill him!

No!

The heart of this shit!

Get my niece fucking killed!

Tell me that!

It's the girl.

What?

The girl what?

It's San Juan's daughter.

You fucking asshole!

I'm gonna fuck!

Do you know where she was?

Leave the pussy!

I told you to tell them!

You fucking asshole!

To these fucking knees!

No!

Come on.

Come on.

Speak to me, boy.

The ducks.

Okay.

Where in the ducks?

What's in the fucking ducks?

Speak up, man.

Speak.

Pier 19.

What's in Pier fucking 19?

The Katrina.

Who the fuck is Katrina?

Bolt.

You piece of shit fucking Chinaman!

And your fucking heroin guy!

My niece sent you a fucking pill!

You have the brain!

You need

me to come with you?

No.

Tonight I'm going to get Nikola and that's it.

You can't take on San Juan by yourself.

Are you okay?

I can't sleep.

Kim, we're going to get Nicola back tonight.

I know.

Don't be scared, okay?

Come on, sweetie.

Get ready.

I need to talk to Tony.

Kim.

Come here.

Son Kwon...

is your dad.

No.

He can't be my dad.

Hold on.

I'm coming with you.

End of story.

I don't want to lose you, Tony.

You won't.

You're my brother.

No.

I'm his brother.

Tony... Yeah?

You ready?

I'm in position.

Put this around you like that.

Listen.

If I'm not back in 20 minutes, All right, let's call the police.

Okay?

Come here.

Sir Kwan!

Want your son to die?

Nicola!

Daddy!

You want your son to die?

Daddy!

Daddy!

Ah!

Ah!
