Alpha One in position. What do I have?

Two hostages. One woman, one child.

Six hostage-takers. Sex: unknown.

Weapons: unknown. Origin: unknown.

How much time do I have?

- No more than two minutes. - Two minutes? Shit!

Check it out.

Drop it.

Let's see who we have here.

Move it.

Game over.

Second team in.

Fuck you, Harold.

Just doing my job.

Good try, Fairchild.

Remember the numbers.

There were two hostages, not three.

Good try, Kris.

Thanks.

Hang on a minute.

Edwards wants to see you in the briefing room in one hour.

One more time, guys.

Get the lock. Get the lock. A little bit better.

Edwards will see you now.

Have a seat, please.

Agent Fairchild, this is Special Agent Calloway...

...and Trimble.

How's the training progressing?

It's good.

You ready to get to work?

You bet.

Calloway and Trimble will give you a full briefing.

We'll meet once more in the morning, then you're gone.

A bank?

I put in two years of specialized training...

...and my first assignment is at a bank?

Many operatives would enjoy this assignment.

A plant in a nice, safe place.

You'll be working with Agent Stevens. Don't give him a hard time.

Sure.

Where's this "nice, safe place"?

Jakarta.

Extension 177, please.

It's Stevens here. Put me through to Edwards.

Interrupt him. I need to speak to him. It's urgent.

Edwards? Stevens here.

We gotta move fast. I think they're onto us.

The good news is, I think I've tracked down the money ring.

I'll call you when she arrives.

Customer.

What can I do for you?

Not a thing.

It's what we can do for you.

And what's that?

You see, we're in the service business.

We can protect you from trouble for a small monthly fee.

What kind of trouble are you talking about?

Us.

That's what I figured. I'm not interested.

Now clear out.

You hear me?

Now!

I think he needs convincing.

Show him our sales pitch.

Dazzo's hit us again. I need you now.

I'm on my way.

Charlie, what are you doing?

Are you at it again?

I'm sorry, boys.

Charlie has a way, from time to time...

...of rubbing customers the wrong way.

I'm sorry, Preston.

You know, how Charlie treats his customers...

...is none of my business.

How the customers treat Charlie?

Well, that is my business.

Oh, man.

Look out! Look out!

Fresh fish. Fresh fish.

Rack them up.

Preston!

Leave it.

Get him, Charlie.

I got it.

Oh, relax, will you? I've gotta clean it.

That was unbelievable.

I've never seen anything like that before in my life.

I mean, there was six of them.

You must be lost, right?

Lost?

No, I love it around here.

And your place is great.

Time to go, kid.

But I just got here.

And now you're just leaving.

Who is that?

Oh, you're such a baby!

He's on his way down. Make it look like an accident.

Sorry.

Taxi?

The white zone is for loading and unloading of passengers only.

No parking.

Do you know this place?

Yes, I do.

Stevens?

Hello? Is anybody here?

It's Kris Fairchild.

Jesus!

Stevens!

Any word on Stevens yet?

Nothing yet.

Let's assume my cover's still clean at the bank.

How soon can you get another agent over here?

We should get someone there in a couple days.

And until then, play it safe.

Check into a different hotel. And, Kris...

...don't do anything that would draw any attention to yourself. Okay?

Who, me? Come on, you know me better than that.

- Hey, Edwards? - Yeah?

Thanks for giving me this one.

Taxi!

Just another day at the office.

Preston, about today...

- Thanks. - Forget it, mate.

See you tomorrow. And stay out of trouble.

All right.

I thought you left.

I just sort of decided to hang around for a while.

Oh, right. You like it here.

Wait, wait, wait. Listen.

I've done some boxing. A little bit.

I'm pretty good, but I was wondering if you'd teach me what you do?

I'm not a teacher, mate. I'm a bartender. That's it.

But I've done my homework, and I know that you're the best.

I can pay you whatever you want.

I'm sure you can.

Let me give you advice for free.

Your car. Get in and drive before somebody else does.

You okay?

You've got nothing better to do than follow me around, right?

Listen, I could take lessons from anybody.

I can pay anybody, but I want you to help me.

I've never seen anybody as good as you.

Listen. These guys are serious fighters.

They're not crazy about strangers hanging around...

...especially dressed like that. Another time.

Let me show you what I can do. Let me get in the ring.

Tao, you wanna move around with Marciano here for a couple minutes?

Glove him up.

Nice and easy, Tao.

Give him a break, Tao.

I could've kept going.

You know, if you're serious, the gym's open.

But you gotta be serious.

Gym opens at 7.

Oh, my head.

- Collection time. - I've already paid.

What do you mean?

One of your mates was here. His name was Dazzo.

Dazzo? Let's go.

Asshole.

Nice.

Much more hip.

Pretty isn't practical. Forget being pretty. I want power.

Plenty of hip in the movement.

Hold this.

On the thigh.

There's plenty of hip here.

What're you doing here? It's not a great neighborhood.

Then what are you doing here?

Minding my own business.

Over to you.

My dad was transferred here...

...so I thought I'd come along and learn the family business.

Jakarta sounded like a great adventure.

But what he had in mind for me was something I didn't want.

Life in a bank.

No argument there. Come on. Hip!

I see what you mean about the hip.

Here, come on. Give it a try.

Me?

Roll it.

Come on. Hip!

Better. Roll the hip.

Come on. One more. Roll.

Don't drop your hands. Keep them up.

Hey, Kris.

What are you doing in here?

Just looking for some stationery.

This is just an old junk room. We moved all that stuff upstairs.

Oh, is it? I didn't know that.

You coming to the party?

Sure. I'll be there.

Good. We'll have a blast.

You got it.

What we're doing here is shadow punching.

I want your punches to push.

I want you to shorten the contraction time. Just like this.

So it snaps, it absorbs.

The opponent doesn't have a chance to ride it.

Rib shots. Head shots. Bang. Crack.

Put them up.

Come on.

Too stiff. Relax your shoulders.

You're punching like this.

Relax. You gotta make it sting. Shorten the contraction.

One little bite like that, not push through.

Change your feet around. You're not a southpaw.

You look too awkward.

Good. Let's go again.

Much better. And again.

Weave. Snap it in. Don't leave it out.

The quicker you pull it back, the less chance of getting countered.

Let's go. Come on.

This is not a Denver omelette. I know a Denver omelette.

Mr. Andrews...

...I didn't know we had a meeting.

What's the problem?

The viability of your company has come into question.

Rumors of an impending hostile takeover...

...lead by an enterprising executive by the name of Dazzo.

Dazzo? You think Dazzo...

...and his sniveling weaklings he calls a gang are any match against me?

Buntao?

Against Thor?

Probably not.

But I can't take any chances.

At least without sufficient compensation.

You need money.

I told you, Dazzo is no threat.

Forget Dazzo. Something else.

You run one of the largest crime syndicates in Asia.

More than half of all guns and drugs flow through your warehouses alone.

You couldn't do it without your banker.

That's me.

Then maybe I should get another banker.

But no one else can launder the amount of money you need.

- Without me, you're out of business. - But we made a deal.

If I eliminated that snoop for you...

...you'd do my next shipment for free.

I appreciate your good work...

...but I've renegotiated our deal.

In return for my services...

...I've decided to take a larger share of your next venture.

The guns?

No, you fool. The diamonds. Half the diamonds are mine.

It's reasonable for the challenge of converting...

...half a billion dollars into untraceable currency.

And if I say no?

You've forgotten.

I kept complete records of all our business transactions.

Facts and figures, Buntao.

They destroyed criminals bigger than you.

Then I suggest you...

...turn them over to me for safekeeping.

They're safe enough, if nothing happens to me.

You're bluffing, Andrews. Those papers will destroy you as well.

For a quarter of a billion dollars, I'm willing to risk it.

I know they arrive in three days.

If you think I'm bluffing, call it.

I won't let him ruin me.

And just when the diamonds are so close I can taste them.

His precious son. Of course!

I want him.

Maybe then Mr. Andrews will want to...

...renegotiate his proposal.

Get him.

Okay, what we're doing here is sanchin kata.

San means three. We're doing three battle kata, trying to unify...

...your mind, body and spirit in this one form.

We get strengthening of ligaments, tendons and joints.

We get internal strengthening with ibuki breathing.

Same as a cat when it's cornered hisses.

We get contraction. Internal strengthening.

Lower the center of gravity of every point of the body to give stability.

But most of all, we learn to center ourselves in our hara, in our center.

Everything down.

The kiai!

Preston! Preston!

- What's the score? - What's it to you?

Is there a problem here?

He's mine!

What was that all about?

I've never seen them before in my life.

You weren't kidding about the neighborhood.

My car.

I'll give you a lift home.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Why don't you come in? Join the party.

No, not for me, mate.

Come on. You'll have a good time.

Besides, this new girl from the bank's supposed to show up.

You never know, you might like her.

She's quiet. She's got a great personality.

You're not setting me up, are you, Tom?

Besides, my dad wants to meet you.

Don't tell my dad what happened. It would scare the shit out of him.

So what happened was, we had a problem with the transmission...

Relax, mate. I got it.

I'm gonna go get my dad.

Dad!

Time is running out.

You've got two days until the shipment arrives.

You know what I mean?

Exactly.

Beauty.

Thanks, mate.

The terms remain the same. This is a nonnegotiable point.

Hey, Dad, what's this?

Tommy.

You throw a party, and you're doing business?

I wanna introduce you to that friend.

Meet my dad, Gerald Andrews. This is Preston Michaels.

Nice to meet you.

Tommy's told me so much about you.

How you've transformed him into a veritable fighting machine.

I don't know. Just enough to take care of himself.

Hopefully, that won't be necessary.

Shall we drink to that?

I must be circulating. It's been a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Michaels.

That's my dad.

There she is.

Not bad from here.

Let's go.

Preston, I'd like you to meet Kris Fairchild.

Actually, we've already...

I don't think so.

You probably had an account at the bank I worked at.

Happens all the time.

Preston, isn't it?

Yeah. Nice to meet you.

Same.

Well, I guess I'll let you two get to know each other.

What the hell is going on? What are you doing here?

I can't explain right now.

Is there somewhere I can meet you later?

Willy's Bar, on the water.

It's great to see you, Preston.

Dazzo!

Tell Buntao this is just the beginning.

Tell him we want everything.

Buntao, I'm sorry. They took the money.

There was nothing I could do.

It was two of them. It was a setup.

It was Dazzo and his boys. They took all the money!

What?

You fool!

You let them get my money!

It's Buntao who is sorry.

You have been a trusted and valiant employee.

You fought bravely to the end.

And bravery is to be rewarded.

Oh, my God!

It's a pity.

Some people just can't stand the stress at the top.

Dazzo knows about our business. But how?

It's Andrews, the pig!

Now he wants all the diamonds.

And he has joined forces with Dazzo...

...to see me destroyed.

Dazzo can't destroy us.

No. Andrews can.

But we won't let him.

Get the records. Get the kid. Stop at nothing!

Somebody clean the mess!

Did you hear a knock?

Let's see what you got.

How's that?

I told you we didn't need protection. Get out!

Later.

What the hell is this?

It's our new insurance policy.

Preston, it's Kris.

Kris, hi. Come on up. Top of the stairs.

Listen, I want to apologize for what happened this afternoon.

I don't need an apology.

An explanation would be nice.

And a drink. Come in.

Have a seat.

I stopped by at Willy's Bar first.

I met Charlie. What a character.

Is that where you work?

Yep.

The hours are okay, and the pay's adequate.

- What more could a man ask for? - A better neighborhood?

Charlie told me about the fight you had earlier.

The little scuffle with Blondie and his boys.

Charlie and he had a business disagreement.

Blondie's pissed at me because I broke up something between Tommy and him.

You look like money around here, you're asking for trouble.

This isn't any place for you.

It's better than the life waiting for me.

I don't feel like going back for a crime I didn't commit.

I know you didn't do it. I would've testified.

Past history.

Let's just drop it, okay?

So what about you? The banking business?

That's quite a career change, isn't it?

And in Jakarta, no less?

You know, people who have an alias have either committed a crime...

...or they're after someone who has.

Which one is it?

I'm working for the government.

And I found that somebody I'm looking for.

Who?

Gerald Andrews.

Tommy's father?

He's laundering money with some big crime syndicate here in Jakarta.

The Agency planted me in Andrews' bank to get evidence...

...and I searched, I searched. I still haven't come up with anything.

Check his house?

That was the idea today. But then I couldn't shake Tommy.

Look, Kris, maybe I can help.

I can get closer to Andrews than you can. I know this town.

Helping me is what got you into this mess in the first place.

No, I'll be fine.

You know, things work differently around here.

You get into trouble, you better call.

I will.

Mr. Andrews?

Gotcha.

- Sorry. - It's okay.

Do you have time for lunch?

Come on.

What are you thinking about?

I don't know. Nothing.

You look nervous.

You don't care?

Pal, watch where you're going.

- Get in! - What the hell is going on?

What the hell is going on?

Come on.

You drive.

Move it!

After them. Come on, let's go!

Get him out of here!

Oh, my God.

- Step on it, Tommy! - What the hell's going on?

Push it.

You're going up. We should be going down.

Give me a break, will you? Jesus!

Come on, let's go!

Take the first exit.

Come on, come on!

Here! To the left!

Come on, faster!

To the right! The right!

Come on, faster.

This thing doesn't go any faster.

Get up there.

- Go! - Let's do it.

Shoot at these guys.

I can't. I'm out.

Here. Turn left.

Hold on!

Look out!

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Are you okay? You sure?

- Are you? - Yeah.

Let's get out. I smell gas.

That's fixed it.

Let's go.

What?

Tommy, just tell me where she is.

Come on, Buntao.

Just try it.

We're losing him.

Kris Fairchild?

- 652. - Thank you.

Preston?

What the hell happened?

- You scared the shit out of me! - I ran into a little trouble.

It's nothing I can't handle, Preston.

I'm fine. Really.

Well, it doesn't look that way.

These aren't the streets of L.A.

Those streets, you know. These, you don't.

You gotta let me help you.

I found what I was looking for.

It was in Andrews' office.

Andrews has been laundering...

...all this money, making millions for some guy by the name of Buntao.

You know who he is?

Buntao?

Bloody hell, this is big.

We're gonna get you out of here.

He must be the money man Stevens was talking about.

Buntao must've been onto him, so he killed him.

The two goons that attacked Tommy and I today...

...were the same ones I saw sitting outside Stevens' house.

They're also the same ones you fought with last night at Charlie's place.

You don't mean Blondie?

Working for Buntao.

- I bet Andrews put a squeeze on him. - That's why Blondie was after Tommy.

If Buntao gets Tommy, he controls Andrews.

Where's Tommy now?

I don't know. He dropped me off and split.

Shit!

If this is all true, Tommy's in trouble.

We better find him before Buntao does.

Maybe we can make Andrews confess.

Confess to what?

You don't believe this crap, do you?

Yeah, Tommy, I do.

So you were planted in the bank to spy on my father, huh?

Were you in on this?

Nope.

I'll prove you both wrong. We'll go see him right now.

Okay, Tommy. We'll go.

Come on.

Hey, Dad!

Dad?

Oh, my God!

We don't have time for that.

- We have to call the police. - We don't have time!

Get him out of here.

Come on.

The day of the party, I overheard my dad talking on the phone.

It was something about diamonds.

Conversation got real hot, and I overheard the name. It was Buntao.

He did this, didn't he?

Maybe you're right about my dad, but he did not deserve to die!

Where are you going?

I'm going to find Buntao.

It's what you wanted.

Come on, Preston. Are you gonna help me or not?

Fore!

Boss, you're just like Arnold Palmer.

Very good.

Good.

Good. Very good.

Good.

What a beautiful day!

Tomorrow the diamonds are mine.

You know what I'm going to do?

A trip to Hawaii.

I love that Don Ho.

Pretty bubbles in the water

Pretty bubbles in the wine

I feel happy

I feel fine

Because the diamonds are mine

Members only.

Is Jade Stone around? Tell her it's Preston.

Wait here.

A friend of yours?

So you think one of these party animals can help us out?

Well, one of them might.

- Are you Preston? - Yes.

Follow me.

Wait here, okay?

Hello, Jade.

Preston, it's been a long time.

Too long.

Oh, you brought friends.

How about a bottle of champagne?

That can be expensive, Preston.

How about some information?

Even more expensive.

Buntao's been having trouble lately with another gang.

More irritation than trouble.

Led by somebody named Dazzo.

That one's got me.

Your father ever mention him, Tommy?

Have you heard anything about diamonds?

I can drink only so much champagne.

I don't know about any diamonds.

But I do know that something is arriving today.

And whatever it is...

...Buntao is eager to get it.

Do you know what time and where?

You'll have to ask Buntao that.

What the hell are we talking about?

I don't care about any diamonds.

Do you know where Buntao is?

I think I can help you.

I'll just need to make some calls.

This is my friend Sam. He can take you to Buntao.

He's gonna fly us right in?

No, we'll just get him to drop us somewhere nearby. Let's go.

- Be careful. - Thanks, Jade.

Bye, Preston.

Thanks, Jade.

Preston, what's the plan?

A surprise visit.

Yeah, then what?

We play it by ear.

Then we'll kick some ass.

Looks like we got company. And they don't look friendly.

Some help that party animal was. You've got great friends, Preston.

She was a big help.

Maybe she just owed Buntao a bigger favor.

I guess we can forget about that surprise visit.

How about some friendly fire?

Is it me, or is he fucking crazy?

I won't let him get away with murder.

Well, Tommy, what a pleasant surprise.

After my numerous invitations...

...you have finally decided...

...to come here of your own free will.

Why?

You killed my father, you son of a bitch!

Oh, no. Not me. Not Buntao.

You see, Tommy, my men paid...

...a social call on your father.

But, alas, when they arrived...

...he had taken his own life.

Was he having problems?

Just you, Buntao.

We know about the diamonds.

Diamonds?

Diamonds?

What diamonds?

Hey, Tommy, you haven't introduced me to your friends.

My friends are more trouble than you can handle.

You're under arrest.

That scared him.

I'm afraid that's impossible, Miss...?

You see...

...I have a very important meeting.

And I'm afraid it can't wait.

Good work.

You.

Of course.

You know each other.

We've met.

Yeah, Preston beat the shit out of him once.

He could do it again.

You were lucky.

Not anymore.

How about it? Preston and Thor fight.

Preston wins, you let us go.

Great idea.

You wanna fight?

You got a better one?

Let's have it.

Don't worry.

Come on, Thor. Kick his ass!

Come on!

Get back to work! All of you!

Something tells me you must be Dazzo.

Am I right?

Possibly.

But not exactly.

You son of a bitch!

Get her out of here.

All right.

Sorry, Preston, but there is no Dazzo.

I'm the boss.

I created Dazzo!

You know how long it took to think of the name?

I wanted something snappy, scary, you know?

Great marketing idea, don't you think?

Oh, yeah.

This is actually Togai, the best.

Rule number one of business: Surround yourself with talent.

Togai was well acquainted with the availability of labor...

...and how to recruit them.

And in all modesty, I'm a great boss.

I pay well, give a substantial benefit package, good working conditions...

...and what you have is a contented work force.

Nonunion, of course.

I don't get it, Tommy.

Why?

It's simple enough.

I saw a viable business and a way to step in and seize control.

Hostile takeover.

I had time, but the value of the business...

...shot through the ceiling overnight, and I had to act immediately.

And the diamonds?

Conversation between Buntao and my father.

I heard everything.

So you used your father and us.

Neat, huh?

I needed you to help me...

...find Buntao and eliminate some key competition in Thor.

You and Kris were sort of...

...a minimum investment for a maximum return.

Rule number two:

Exploit the weaknesses of those who can help you consolidate your assets.

In your case, friendship.

Just like you said, Tommy...

...your father might've been a crook...

...but he didn't deserve to die over this.

My father...

You see, he violated the third rule:

Never underestimate a principal player.

Me.

See, Buntao was telling the truth about one thing.

He didn't kill my father.

I did.

You're fucking crazy.

I'm just a good businessman.

My father would've been proud of me, actually.

I mean, my grief's the thing that pushed you into helping me, wasn't it?

Togai, throw him in there with Kris.

You two might want a quiet moment together...

...for you to say goodbye.

Wait.

How about a chance to recoup my losses?

What?

You and me.

I win, we go free.

Now that sounds like a familiar proposition.

I figure my chances are pretty good, Tommy.

You never were much of a student.

Nice stall, Preston, but you know that isn't true.

Then try me.

Are you nothing more than a two-bit salesman?

You taught me everything you know, Preston.

I can take you.

But I'm afraid it'll have to wait.

Throw them together. I'll give you those minutes while I talk to Buntao.

You don't look too happy to see me.

Daddy told me that you were gonna change these rocks into cash.

You tell me where or when, and I'll spare your life.

Good. Good.

Good man!

Buntao.

Time is of the essence.

Buntao told me I have a very important business meeting at the docks.

I just wanna thank you both...

...for everything you've done for me.

I mean, without you, none of this would've been possible.

Especially you, Preston.

Little present for you. Nothing much, really.

He's gotta be kidding.

Pack your bags, boys. We're going on a vacation.

Crank those choppers. We're blowing this Popsicle stand.

Let's do it.

Hurry.

Quickly.

Just kick it!

Gotta be worth a try.

Don't touch it!

What time you got?

Two.

Where is Buntao?

There's been a takeover.

Buntao is out. I'm the new chairman of the board.

I possess the merchandise, and I'm prepared to sell it...

...if you have the proper funds.

May I have your answer, please?

Let's go.

As requested, unmarked U.S. currency.

Good.

It's good business.

Jeez.

You take care of him. I'll get Tommy.

So what about it, Tommy? The biggest purse of your life.

You up to it?

Easy money, Preston.

I taught you to keep your hands up, Tommy.

Oh, no. Not just yet. Lesson ain't over.

Come on!

What now, Tommy?

Not too smart.

You figured out everything except where to run.

End of the line.

Rule number one:

Never screw me over.

Rule number two: Never, ever screw me over.

Rule number three: How many times I gotta tell you?

Keep your bloody hands up.

Was it worth it, Tommy? Huh?

Help me.

Please?

Come on.

I'm asking you again.

Was it worth it?

I don't know about you, but I've had enough of this place.

Time to move on.

Same here.

All Tommy's talk about business has given me an idea.

Open up a Willy's Bar someplace else.

Take Charlie with me. Sure he'd enjoy a change of scenery.

How about L.A.?

Sure. Why not?

Take care of some unfinished business.

Costs a lot of money to open up a bar.

It sure does.
