Original subtitles

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

Look, there's Jimmy now.

Hey, Jimmy boy. Caught the game Sunday afternoon.

What were you throwing at those batters?

That last pitch in the ninth...

...that wasn't a knuckleball. That came straight from the elbow.

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

Pretty good?

Fourteen strike-outs. Listen to this kid.

How are your grades coming?

Quantum physics is being taught for a universe I'm not in.

How about the sailing?

We got new models in. Wait till you see these beauties.

You're gonna flip out.

Black chick's great.

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.

Should've seen her 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 wanna spend the rest of your lives...

...in a cell just like this one, then you'll open the damn door.

- Feisty. - Oh, yeah.

Mr. Takari will like that.

How's our blond 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 gonna be all right. Don't worry about anything.

- You'll call my father? - Sure.

I'll call him. Don't worry.

Please.

I want to leave here. Please.

Pleading turns me on.

How about you?

Don't mess with the merchandise. You got that, Velasco?

No sweat, Jimmy. 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.

- I'll check it out tonight. - Sure. That's great.

Here's the play. Bottom of the eighth...

...you're trailing by three, runners at first and second....

He'll pay you whatever you want.

Just ask him.

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

But I want to fight.

Yes. 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 had perished.

Fifteen years later, they were reunited.

Now Caine 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 do.

I am Caine.

I will help you.

No, do not fight.

Go with the flow.

Go with the flow.

Yes.

Perfect.

- That was a good class. - Yeah.

Looks good.

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

Oh, here's trouble in River City.

Jesus Delgado.

Runs with a pack of animals called the Pale Aztecs.

They do a neat job in destruction.

You lose your way, Jesus?

Perhaps he has found it.

I'm checking out the action. You got a problem with that?

Hell, no.

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

Learn to kick...

...maim, gouge. Then 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 Señor Delgado a few simple moves.

I'll rip her head off.

I don't think so.

Don't, huh?

- Hey, watch this. - This is trouble.

Okay, little lady, we'll tango.

Yeah.

Are you all right?

Get away from me.

Is he okay?

Not bad, huh?

There is no disgrace in losing.

Only in winning without honor.

If you wish to learn...

...please, return and join the class.

All right.

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 don't want her to get bit either.

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

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

It is enough that I reach.

Yeah, well, personally speaking...

...I hate to open a refrigerator and find a six-pack gone.

Listen, I wanted to talk to you tonight...

...but you're busy and I gotta get back to the precinct.

I got the graveyard shift...

...so just drop by. Talk to me sometime.

Thank you.

The thought 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 sanity.

It's 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. Caine.

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

If it comes to a wilted rose or bread on the table...

...Grandma makes sure her 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.

Thanks, again. Bye.

Yeah.

Yes? Can I help you?

I am Caine.

Alicia's teacher.

I have come to tend your rose garden.

Great. How many more?

Yeah. The DA's expecting this.

- Tell me what you got. - One more girl.

Parents reported her missing this afternoon.

Been in the city 36 hours.

- Doesn't 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.

No ransom demands, thin air.

Better find them before the media starts talking to other precincts...

...and blows this onto the front pages.

He's gone for one week. No one knows where.

Comes back with a bullet hole in his arm. No explanation.

- 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 Caine.

Look how this 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.

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.

If the child's character is luminous and innocent...

...wild beasts walk away.

Birds of prey will not fly 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 petals."

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 crassly?

- 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 the bird.

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

Mr. Caine 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 would find out...

...it needs an overhaul and some new spark plugs.

If she'd let anyone get that close.

Maybe someone should get off his butt and find out.

He's a teacher, is he?

Alicia 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.

Maury, what are you waiting for?

An engraved invitation?

I was looking for one with a long skirt.

Oh, those are so nice.

I know.

- I think there's one over there. - I'll go over there.

- Let's go over there now. - And then we gotta get to....

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

Stop that guy.

Stop him.

Thanks. I'm Jim Reardon.

Alicia Wright.

You are something else.

Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

A dress for prom night? A new Mazda?

I'm really in a hurry. I've gotta get to work.

- What's his name? - Seinfeld.

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

Always questioning life around him.

Seinfeld, come back.

- Seinfeld. Seinfeld. - Come back.

Seinfeld.

Come back.

What's going on here?

Who are you people?

Come on, let's get out of here. Let's go.

- Come on. - Come on.

Come on, get her in here.

Come on.

Let me go.

Go ahead, babe.

No!

Let her scream for half an hour, then shoot her full of Pentothal.

- That should keep her quiet. - Hey!

Hey!

Ellen?

You scared me.

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-- 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 10 minutes late.

Perhaps she stayed on at the galleria.

You're probably right.

That's where they all hang out.

Can't, for the life of me, understand why.

Like being in a Faberge 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.

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

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 7:00 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....

My son is a police officer.

I will talk to him.

He won't be any different than the others.

He is different.

We will find her.

Compton speaking. Can I help you?

Why do 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 onto 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.

No, 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.

Hello?

- Paul Caldrin. - He's not here.

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

My babe, it's you and I tonight.

You're smooth.

Oh, that hurt?

That's enough.

I told you, don't mess with the goods.

You're supposed to sedate her.

Get out.

Get the hell out of here.

I can't apologize enough.

He won't lay a hand on you again.

But you will.

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, fourth year...

...painless injections, well...

...I'm a wizard at them.

You're gonna be treated like royalty.

My client is a real gentleman.

And 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.

Ms. Wright, I'm Peter Caine.

Yes, I would have known.

Sorry about disrupting your house.

Just find my granddaughter.

Let's check this out in that back bedroom there.

How's it going, Blake?

Just got the sequential analyzer to hook up. Be online in two.

Great. Just in time for a call that isn't gonna 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. - Is Caine there?

Peter Caine? Yeah, put it through.

Peter, patched through from precinct. A guy named Caldrin.

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

Yeah. Meet you where?

All right. Ten minutes.

Something?

I hope not. I'll check back with you.

Alicia did run away once.

When she was 14.

I'd 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.

Hi, Pop.

Come with me?

Where are we going?

For a walk on 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 the student of the Tao spurns them.

Not these students.

This is a religious movement.

Spiritual enlightenment of the lowest order.

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

And why are we here?

Because this is wonderland...

...and I have a feeling that this is where Alicia might have been taken.

I thought I was ready.

We are expecting someone?

Right on time.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I've been arranging a party for a visiting senator...

...whose tastes run to the, shall we say, eclectic.

I've been running around all day looking for midgets and diet Dr. Pepper.

I'm sorry, I'm Paul Caldrin.

- And you are? - A colleague.

We go back to Washington when Blaisdell...

...sent me for a course in undercover street life.

What do you got for me, Paul?

You were right, Pete. College students disappearing all over town.

White slavery is having an amazing renaissance.

Who do I talk to about delivery?

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

An undercover cop wouldn't get in the door.

What door?

There's a big bash every month.

And they have it at a different mansion 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?

- Yeah, sure. - Do you know who's booked tonight?

I could find out.

Yeah. Yeah. Do it.

Yeah, faster.

Faster.

Hi.

Paul Caldrin.

- How are you? - Good to see you again.

- What happened? - Who's that?

Thanks, Stella, I--

What the hell?

Thanks again.

What the hell's the matter with him?

He's working through aggression.

That little grandstand stunt just cost me a valuable client.

I'll make 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.

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 ashtrays are Ming Dynasty.

Gentleness overcomes strength.

Sound familiar?

You should have reminded me.

I mean, 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 gonna be in some cramped, smoky room tomorrow.

You didn't change anything.

What I did was wrong.

Are you kidding me?

I loved it. I gotta 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 those words...

...at the time. I got involved.

Yeah, with Tyler. I know.

How did that finally work out?

She usually slaps the other side of my face.

Can we talk like two people who once--?

Couldn't keep their hands off each other?

Say what you've gotta say. I'm in a hurry.

Yeah.

To 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.

On 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.

Yes, you do.

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'll sing.

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

I'm gonna put the shotgun back in the car.

Okay.

Just hold still here. This is tricky.

You betrayed some emotion tonight.

Can I look forward to seeing more?

I will try to be better behaved at the party.

Well, if we're gonna find Alicia alive tonight...

...you're gonna have to get out of there in one piece.

I will practice restraint.

Always works for me.

Perfect. Let's go party.

Let's go. Come on. You 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.

Fast ball down the pike.

- I'm gonna get some more champagne. - God, that's terrific.

Oh, finally.

Once more around the rooms?

Meet back here in 20 minutes. You wanted to keep looking.

Yeah.

Are you gonna be in the race?

Your client's great.

Your guests aren't.

These parties were supposed to be hot.

I wouldn't give you a C-Note for these women.

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

I thought you were the singer's manager.

I am. I am.

- That's a cop. - I got other clients.

It's a--

How high is your client prepared to go?

Very high.

James Reardon up there.

But I wouldn't bother him just now.

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

Try 10,000 a throw.

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

That's 11 strike-outs 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.

James has got the girls, but I don't know where they are.

I don't want any part of it.

He'd kill me if he knew I was telling you this.

You're right.

These people are not good for you.

These people speak in whispers.

Listen to your heart.

Hold it right there.

Hey!

Let go. I didn't tell him anything.

Come with us.

Bring my limo round. Starlight 12.

Hey, wait a minute. What the hell's going on here?

Your client's starting a new career in Japan.

No, she comes with me, she leaves with me.

You bring wine to a party then ask for it back when you leave?

Do find us another singer.

She was very bluesy.

I like that.

You won't be needing this.

Damn it, Harry, what are we stopping--?

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

Thanks.

I want my bottle of wine back.

And I wanna know where Carol and Alicia Wright are.

Or you're gonna 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? - Go to hell.

This lighter's getting very hot.

I don't know if I can hold it much longer.

Now, you wouldn't want me....

Keep it moving, girls.

Hold it.

Who's that?

I thought you should see him like this. Can't hurt you anymore.

Get down.

Let her go.

It's okay.

Takari!

- After tonight, no more parties. - No more parties.

Master Caine.

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

They mean nothing.

This garden is dead.

Stop. Stop it.

What the hell?

Mrs. Wright?

Alicia.

I'm all right, Grandma. I'm all right.

Alicia. Oh, Alicia.

Ellen, 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 were right.

She did come back.

You'll find I'm right about most things.

My hair is a darker gray.

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.

Bye, Peter.
