Original subtitles

(police siren blaring)

(tense music)

- [Warrick] Get the car.

I gotta Vicki waitin' for me at the Waldorf, let's go!

- Mr. Molino?

You left a considerable tab inside.

Why don't you come back and settle it?

- Do I look like I can't cover 50K?

Seriously, come on.

Kasar baby, don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow.

- You're right, I worry too much.

You get home safe.

- My father thanks you for your understanding, Kasar.

Wouldn't wanna shut this dump down, right?

You ass.

(ominous music)

(tires screeching)

(guns firing)

What the fuck?

(cell phone buzzing)

- What?

(laughs)

(speaking foreign language)

(industrial rock music)

- Alright, first lesson, this guy was not shot here.

- How can you tell?

- See all these holes?

There's not enough blood.

- There's definitely no surveillance around.

- See that?

Looks like nothing, right?

- [Tarik] Yeah.

- We're in the middle of a whole 'nother world.

- Gambling?

- This logo means Dragon Shadow, they run this area.

- Dragon Shadow?

That must be made up, right?

- Well, it's a loose translation, but be careful.

They do not respect shields around here.

- Chinatown war.

- We're in a whole 'nother world, brother.

Shit.

Call the precinct, we got a murdered police officer.

Welcome to S.I.U., kid.

Hell of a first day, huh?

Shit.

Here's his wallet.

Goddamn.

- [Mayor] Gentlemen, thank you for taking the time.

I apologize I can't be with you.

I had a last minute schedule change

for an important meeting with the Noble Group.

Detective Blue, your reputation precedes you.

Thanks for helping with this.

- Well, thank you, sir.

- The officer, Jessy Looms, was working the private detail

for the mayor's son, Warrick, on the night he was shot.

- Mr. Mayor, do you have any idea

who would want to harm you or your son?

- My son has a gambling problem.

He gambles at less than reputable places.

He's a screw up, I know it, but he's mine.

- Look, gentlemen, the mayor is a friend,

and I assured him that if anyone can find him

and bring him back before the feds jump into

this thing and make it a media madhouse, it was you.

I don't have to tell you, you need a friend.

- The last few weeks he's become a little unhinged.

You should have some poker chips

that I sent over, I found in his room.

- [Jimmy] Those are Shadow Dragon markings, sir.

- Shadow Dragon, that's a serious gang.

- Can you tell us anything else, sir?

- No, but my people will send over

his girlfriend Chantelle's information.

I would start there.

- Alright, thank you, Mayor.

I'll get back to you.

- Detective Blue, you have my full support.

My wife and I thank you.

- There you go, chin a little higher,

give me a little smile, there it is.

Give me that little sexy look.

Awesome, hold on one second.

Here we go, play with the jacket a little bit, right there.

Awesome, just look at me.

Eyes right here.

Oh, just take five.

How can I help you?

- NYPD, S.I.U.

I just need to speak to Chantelle for a few minutes.

- Okay.

I'm gonna get some coffee.

- Make that two.

- Make that three.

- Kidnapped?

Is he okay?

Is he, is he dead?

- We don't know.

But we hope so, we hope he's okay.

When was the last time you talked to Warrick?

- A few days ago.

But we got into a fight.

- A fight?

A fight about what?

- I told him, I told him.

I overheard him yelling, trying not to yell about

how he'll have the money, don't worry he'll get it.

When I asked him about it he told me don't worry.

(sighing)

We, we fought, I pressed him, then I left.

- Did he give you a name or place?

- No.

Sorry.

- That's alright.

Look, if you have any more information,

anything, please feel free to reach out to me.

- Wait.

Um, Tran.

He, he used talk about an old man

and then one day I heard him say the name Tran.

- Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

- I think I'm gonna call it a day.

Excuse me.

- Still downing martinis for lunch, Mr. Han?

- It's much later in my homeland, detective.

It's good to see you, Jimmy.

It's been too long.

- Han, help me with a case, drugs and children.

- Dark times, Jimmy.

I still owe you.

- We know about the gambling.

We know about Jessy and we know about Warrick.

- Hey, hey!

- New kid, Jimmy?

You should teach him better.

- This is serious, Han.

It's the mayor's son.

Lots of people about to start looking.

Where you don't want looking.

- This is good to know.

I can't help you.

- [Tarik] Where is he?

- Tarik!

Stay calm.

- (laughs) I can't help you.

(sighs)

I'm afraid we know nothing of this.

We would never harm the mayor's son.

He eats here frequently.

I never lose a customer.

- I'm about to start kicking in

doors and knocking down walls.

We have about two days before the feds start circling.

- Thank you, Jimmy.

I'll let you know.

Can you stay for dinner?

I'll cook you something special.

- Not tonight.

- [Han] Of course.

- We'll be in touch.

Thank you.

- [Han] Always.

- [Tarik] What was that all about?

- [Jimmy] I told you things work differently here.

Han wasn't running things.

- [Tarik] Then who was?

- [Jimmy] You tell me.

- Tran?

How do we find him?

- We don't.

- So this is all just a meeting just to have a meeting?

Why didn't you just say that?

'Cause things work different.

- Yeah, what else?

- The waitress, she was trying to tell you something.

Because you thought that (snapping).

You told the feds about Tran.

- Mmhmm.

- But, but if you thought he was involved?

- We're not trying to start a war we can't win.

Alright, we want Warrick back, Tran gone.

We got bigger fish to catch, come on.

- Yeah.

(traffic beeping)

(sniffing)

(moaning)

(sniffing)

(cell phone buzzing)

(sniffing)

- Alright, so what exactly are we doing here?

Are we just waiting?

- Waiting for an invitation.

- I mean, what, this is a different place?

- No.

- Come on, man, we know this is the gambling spot.

We can go in there and raid 'em and take 'em all in.

- No, the location changes every time.

Most people that go here, they've got enough power

and juice to get out of whatever we can bring down.

- So what do we do, nothing?

- No, we pick our fights.

And we win those and then we pick another fight.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Bingo, let's go.

- Yeah.

- I'm expected.

- We don't know you.

- [Jimmy] Tell Tran we're here.

- [Guard] I don't know any Tran and we're closed.

- Enough, show them in.

- Thank you.

- Mr. Blue, it's nice to see you,

and your new partner.

Congratulations on your promotion.

I'm sure your father would be very proud.

The Special Investigation Unit

of NYPD does spectacular work.

- Thank you. - How did you know about?

- Mr. Tran, thank you.

Thank you for taking the time, sir.

- I always have time for New York's finest.

May I serve you something to eat?

- Absolutely, thank you.

(slamming chip)

- Dragon Shadow enjoys kidnapping, prostitution,

gambling and, I'm sure, drugs.

Cut the bullshit.

Where is Warrick?

I will rip this fucking place up brick by brick.

I suggest you sit up--

- I suggest you get your partner here under control.

- I don't give a rat's ass what you say--

- Fucking cool it!

We're guests here!

Now, you apologize.

I said apologize!

Now.

- I apologize, Mr. Tran, I was out of line.

I'm very sorry.

- I can ask him to leave if you like.

- No, not necessary.

Forgiven.

Your situation has been explained to me.

I don't know if there's anything I can help.

- Well, sir, someone has got to swing for this.

But the mayor is willing to look

the other way if his son's returned safely.

- Chinatown is a wonderful place.

It is a shame that these things happen here.

- That's delicious.

- Yes, isn't it?

- Always hungry an hour later, though.

(laughs)

- [Tran] You should come again and try the chicken.

- Well sir, we will.

Thank you.

It would be better off for all

if Warrick's returned, and soon.

I would consider it a personal favor to have him returned.

- No small thing.

Thank you, detectives.

- Thank you, sir.

(grumbling)

- Hey Jimmy, Tess just gave me this.

There's this contract for this construction company

called the Noble Group of Hong Kong.

They just put a bid in for the city's work.

$40 million dollar's worth!

According to here the mayor was,

he was pushing for it and pushing kind of hard.

Well, it says here Alberta Roges,

who is the head of the designing committee

ended up vetoing it last week.

Apparently, the mayor was livid.

- What else?

- It says the Noble Group of Hong Kong

also had several real estate holdings in Chinatown.

I think I need to go talk to Alberta.

- I think you're right.

And let's keep our eye on the mayor, alright?

- [Tarik] Will do.

- Let's get on that.

- [Tarik] Cool.

- This thing's broke.

(ominous music)

(speaking foreign language)

- Robert, I told you you didn't have to buy me this stuff.

- I know because you seemed to hate every minute of it.

- Not every minute.

- You know, I really like spending time with you.

- [Woman] Me too.

- That was nice.

- [Woman] Yeah, well, you've earned it.

I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

Come on, let's get you home.

(knocking)

- [Mayor] Gentlemen, you're early.

- [Jimmy] Sorry about that, sir.

- [Mayor] Please, come in.

- [Tarik] Good to see you.

- In the living room.

- Thank you.

- Be careful.

- He was headed off to Wharton next semester.

I mean, you raise your son, you raise your children.

You can't ever imagine that-- (crying)

- Sir, unfortunately we believe a local

gambling group has called in a marker on your son.

Now, we don't believe they want to hurt him,

but we can't be sure.

Have you received any phone calls?

- No, nobody.

I don't understand, I'd pay anything.

I would do anything to anyone who hurts him.

My son's assigned detail officer was Jessy Looms.

When this happened I had my people check

into everyone my son knows and I think Looms

may have had something to do with it.

My accountant called and said Looms received

a large sum of money a week ago, direct deposit.

We're having trouble tracing where

the money went and where it came from.

I'm just saying, I would look into this guy.

He may have set my son up.

- You know that's a major accusation

against one of our own, right?

- Look into it, I'm happy to be wrong.

But I'll be happier when my son's back.

- I understand.

- Call Tess?

- On it.

- And if anyone contacts you--

- Yeah, I know, I know.

Thank you.

So most of the time on these things do they,

do they, do you find them alive?

- Let's just stay sharp, Mr. Mayor.

- Thank you for the coffee.

- Just another day.

What's for lunch?

- Coffee. (laughs)

- Oh, makes sense.

I'll be upstairs.

(ominous music)

(panting)

- Okay, that's three miles.

That's my limit.

- Come on, girl, don't quit, let's go, let's go.

- Hey, I want to keep some booty.

- I would slap my mama for a body like that,

that thing back there.

- Well, unfortunately, I may be a fat whale pretty soon.

- Bitch, what you mean?

Ooh!

You are pregnant!

You are pregnant!

Oh, my God!

- Calm down!

- Yes.

- Calm down, it's not official.

I'm just a little late.

- What you mean you're a little late?

- Three weeks.

- Oh, that's late.

- And I threw up this morning

and yesterday and the day before.

- Is it Jimmy's?

I'm just saying, you kind of been playing

the field lately, you met a doc.

- Well yeah, he's the only guy I've been naked with.

- Okay.

So let's go get a test.

- No, no, no.

Let me be in denial for a few days.

I'm praying that it's the stress and

I can't do this to Jimmy right now.

- Well, can we go get some cupcakes since you gonna

get fat we might as well have fun getting fat.

And some ice cream and hot dogs.

- I love you.

- [Friend] I love you, too.

And pickles, too, I know pregnant girls like pickles.

(cell phone buzzing)

- [Kidnapper] We saw two cops at your house today.

What did you tell them?

- Nothing, I told them nothing.

I fed them some information about Jessy Looms,

but nothing about you, nothing about this meeting.

- [Kidnapper] I believe you.

I see that you came alone.

- You're watching me right now?

- [Kidnapper] We're always watching, Mr. Mayor.

We had an understanding.

- I did exactly what you said.

Now please, my son.

Is he okay?

- [Kidnapper] He is fine, Mr. Mayor.

- Can I speak to him?

- [Warrick] Hey Dad.

Hey, Dad I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Hey, they said that everything should

be fine as long as they get the money.

I'm so sorry, I'm so--

- Hey, hey, son, son.

Where, where do you?

- [Kidnapper] Feel under the bench, Mr. Mayor.

It is a considerably large sum of money.

$350,000, last I counted.

- Hey, I was told,

I was led to believe it was far smaller.

I can't move that kind of money without notice.

- [Kidnapper] It matters not what you believe.

You passed this test and we believe

that you'll continue to do as told.

Don't you have work to do Mr. Mayor?

- Yes, I do.

- [Kidnapper] Destroy this phone, use the other.

Try very hard, don't disappoint us again.

- Hey, hey, hey, don't you, don't you hurt my son!

(panting)

- He was my only son and I lost

his father in '01 to cancer, pancreas.

- Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss, ma'am.

- He was a good kid.

And we were really excited when he joined the force.

- Now ma'am, take your time with this,

but I do have a few questions to ask you.

I need to find out what happened to your son.

- Savages.

- Now ma'am, your son had a big deposit

in his bank account a week before his death.

Would you happen to know anything about that?

- That was his father's life insurance.

He put it in a trust off-shore until he was 30

so he would be responsible when spending it.

And read some book, I don't know, Richest Man in Babylon,

it's to help teach him how to invest.

I mean, you're not trying to insinuate

he's done something wrong?

- No, just doing checks and balances.

But thank you for your hospitality.

- Would you like more tea?

- No, thank you.

If you can think of anything else just let us know.

- Talk to me.

- Hey Jimmy, yeah, the kid's a no-go.

Clean as a whistle.

Yeah, the money happened to be an inheritance.

- Alright, make sure you loop in Tess.

- Alright, cool.

Cool.

Thank you for meeting with me on short notice.

- My pleasure.

I'm late for a meeting if you can.

- Sure thing. - Thanks.

- It's just, just got a few questions for you.

- Alright.

- Thank you so much for coming by,

Barbara and I appreciate it.

There he is.

- Good to see you again, sir. - Thanks for coming.

- I came as soon as I got your voice message.

- Please, have a seat.

- How you holding up?

I'm sure it must be tough to focus.

- Business as usual.

I'm losing my patience and it hasn't even been two days.

I don't know what to do.

I just don't think I can do this anymore.

- Keep doing what, sir?

- Wait for whatever their next move is.

- Their next move, have they made a first move?

- They took my son.

- Of course.

Sir, can you explain to me the relationship between

Noble Group construction and your office?

- Yeah, we've getting a lot of requests lately

from the Asian-American community about us

becoming more inclusive of them when it comes

to city contracts and I desperately need

that community's vote when I get ready to run for governor.

I was just trying to push, champion this issue with

several Asian-American businesses as well as Hispanic.

It's just part of our outreach initiative.

- Of course, sir.

- And my staff vet's every single company closely,

as well as the DDC, as well as the state.

This bidding process was clean.

And I'll pay whoever, whatever.

And if they ever come out of the woodwork,

you tell them that.

- Absolutely, if they reach out I will.

- I just want my son back.

- We all do, Mr. Mayor.

That's what we all want, Mr. Mayor.

- Do call.

- Absolutely, I'll be in touch.

- Please, soon.

- [Jimmy] Yes, sir.

- Can you explain to me why you

stopped the bid for Noble Group?

- The Noble Group, it's a busy group.

They're buying up everything around them, tough company.

- Well, do you know them?

- Not at all, nor would I suggest anyone else.

- Well, they quoted that you were fairly angry.

- Livid, is more like it.

A lot of good people needed those contracts,

I respect that, but I just wasn't liking

the pressure and the heat I was getting

from the mayor's office or the Noble Group.

And I felt like we needed more

time to make a proper decision.

This was a very important, $40 million and up contract.

- Well normally, you do that on all contracts, don't you?

I mean, just a little bit of due diligence, right?

- Absolutely.

I've never seen the mayor so adamant.

I mean, he wasn't blatant, but I know him.

He was pushing and I wanted more time

so the only way to do that was stop it.

- Well, please let me know if there's anything else.

- I'll let you know.

- Thank you.

- Gotta go.

- Alright, thank you.

(slow hip hop music)

(groaning)

(ominous music)

- Hello?

Hello?

- If they catch me...

- I can protect you.

- No,

you can't.

(sighing)

Here.

You can find him here.

- Thank you.

- Wait.

My sister, she's missing.

Something's wrong, Tran's very upset, he's angry.

You have to help her.

- What happened?

- I don't know.

I'll let you know if I find out.

- Look, come in with me.

- I can't.

It's my sister.

If you have a number I can call you.

(dramatic music)

(grunting and banging)

(sighing)

God.

Goddamn it.

Yeah, this is Detective Jimmy Blue.

Requesting immediate backup in Chinatown.

I have a 1045D.

I just pinned my location.

Fuck.

Shit, kid.

(cell phone buzzing)

(dramatic music)

(knocking)

- Yuko, we just want to speak to you.

I promise you.

We will not hurt you.

Yuko?

Yuko, open up.

- [Jimmy] Freeze, police!

(gun firing)

Clear!

(knocking)

Yuko?

It's Detective Blue, I'm coming in.

Hey, hey it's okay, it's okay.

Okay, we can help you.

- I'm so sorry!

(crying)

I'm so sorry!

- It's okay.

It's okay, you did good.

- They knew, I ran.

- It's okay, you did good.

- If I tell you everything you will be able to protect me?

- Yes, I will, I promise you that.

- Did you find him?

- Yeah, yeah, we did, you did great.

(crying)

You did great.

- No.

I made her to lure with drinks and drugs and then I saw him.

(moaning)

- [Woman] Oh, yeah!

- [Woman] Oh, yeah! (both moaning)

(both moaning)

- [Mayor] Is that what you want?

- [Woman] Yeah!

- It was an accident.

- Don't be so worried.

You're lucky, this is my place.

We're gonna have everything cleaned up.

(slapping)

- No.

- Next week I'm gonna check up on you.

Make sure everything's good.

Tell you about a little project

that we're gonna need your support on.

- Hey!

I won't let you down.

- We know.

- Okay.

- [Jimmy] It's okay, it's okay.

- He murdered her.

- It's okay.

(crying)

Everything's gonna be okay.

- [Yuko] I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

- [Jimmy] It's gonna be okay.

I promise you.

Need you to come with me downtown, sir.

- What's this about, did you find my son?

- [Jimmy] Come with me.

- What are you doing, what happened?

- You know, this whole time I couldn't figure

it out because you had me chasing the wrong thing.

I believed you, caring father, good politician.

You're really just a piece of shit.

- You got nothing. - Tarik.

- You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be held

against you in a court of law.

- Barbara, it's okay, I'll be home in an hour!

- Ross!

- [Tarik] To an attorney during questioning.

- Talk to me!

- Sorry, ma'am.

(grunting)

- Sorry about young Warrick.

Newspapers paint a bleak picture.

- He should still be alive.

That didn't need to happen.

- I tried to talk to my former employer,

but some people will always be greedy and always want more.

We did lose a customer, bad business.

- Well, it seems like there's a new king in town.

- It appears I owe you again.

Stop off for some soup.

Always on the house.

- Stay out of trouble.

- There's new construction going up soon.

Noble Group.

Always new buildings going up.

(knocking)

- Yolo!

Yo?

(groaning)

- [Yolo] Goodness, I know you like to smack it, baby.

- Who the fuck are you?

- Fuck, I'm the motherfucker with the gun!

Is that shit, coke?

Get the fuck out of here!

Get the fuck out of here!

- [Yolo] I'm ready as, ready just give me a second.

(moaning)

I just need a little bump and I'll be good.

I just need a--

- You don't need a bump, come on.

Okay, let's get you covered up, alright?

- [Yolo] Wait, no, I need that.

- No, no, no, you don't need that.

- [Yolo] I need that.

- [Jimmy] You definitely don't need that.

You need this, not anymore of that.

We don't need anymore of that.

Jesus Christ. - Hi!

- I'm so sorry, I should have been here sooner.

I should have been here.

- Hi, Jimmy.

- [Jimmy] Hi, okay, how are you?

I'm sorry.

- Why are you sorry?

- I should have been here sooner, I'm so sorry.

Fuck.

I'm sorry.

- Hi!

(laughs)

Why are you sorry?

- Oh, my God, it's just been a really rough week.

- Yeah, it has.

- Hey, hey, hey, sit up, sit up.

Okay, we gotta get you to the hospital.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- Hi.

- Hey, we gotta get you cleaned up, okay, come on.

- [Yolo] I'm not going to the hospital.

- [Jimmy] What?

- I'm not going to a hospital.

I'm not going to a hospital!

You don't care about me!

- Of course, I do.

Of course, I do!

Okay, okay?

Hey, hey, hey.

- [Yolo] I'm so tired.

- Hey, Jesus.

- I'm so tired, Jimmy.

- Okay, no, no.

- [Yolo] I need coke.

I'm so tired.

- Jesus Christ.

- [Yolo] It's okay.

- [Jimmy] Yeah, it's okay.

- [Yolo] It's okay.
