[indistinct chatter]

So, is that a maybe yes?

Or a maybe, maybe?

It's a...maybe yes.

Maybe Friday night then?

We're not talking about when.

We're still on different types of maybes.

I've known you since I was 12.

Maybe I can confuse you, speed things up a little bit?

Huh?

Don't kiss me so close to your father's store.

Don't worry. He's not the jealous type.

I know exactly what your father thinks of me.

If my father knew you, he'd like you even more than he likes me.

You're just trying to change my maybe yes into a yes, yes.

Is it working?

[laughing]

(Tam) 'I got to go.'

They're starting without me.

You coming tomorrow night?

You've been practicing all week. I'm not going to miss it.

Okay.

Look out. Your cousin's coming.

Hey, Jack, I just won $20.

They let you in the casino?

I was outside, playing dice.

You're supposed to be watching your little sister.

(Warren) 'Hey, watch where you're going.'

[speaking Cantonese]

Have a good day.

(Jack) 'Hey, pops.'

Thank you, this orange tree will bring us luck.

Why do you bother buying the tree?

Why don't you just give them the cash?

The tree brings us luck.

- It brings us flies. - 'You're already late.'

Haven't you insulted me enough today?

Come on, I was kidding.

'Dad.'

Hope you're kidding about that girl.

Dad finds out, he'll have a stroke.

What's he going to do when I marry her?

Don't talk about that. Marriage--

Is serious.

[laughing]

You're a little punk.

You need to grow up.

Why, 'cause you make it seem like so much fun?

[melancholic music]

[siren wailing]

The usual, John.

Don't tell me.

Nobody saw anything and nobody knows nothing.

Nothing.

[music continues]

People call in sick all the time.

You see my other shoe?

I mean, the boss don't care.

When's the last time you called in sick?

Oh, I don't know.

You know what? He'll buy it.

Then what? Just stay cooped up in here all day?

You know if you wanna go out

all you got to do is say the word.

Oh, got it.

'Yeah, I can hear it in your voice.'

You're definitely coming down with something.

Thanks, doc, but, uh, I got to go.

Duty calls.

Hey. Hey, hey.

Let me look at that face again.

Hey, boss, uh, there's a woman here says her son Chao Lu

was shot and killed in '83.

He's your case.

Jack Chao Lu.

Jack?

A young kid in Chinatown.

Gang-related. She got something new?

Won't say till she talks to you.

Mrs. Lu, I'm Lieutenant Stillman.

Do you remember my son?

I do.

I remember you as well.

Then I apologize

for the last time we saw each other.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu, I know that this is a difficult time--

Leave us be.

We have nothing to tell you.

It's important, I get information about your son

as soon as possible.

My husband wouldn't allow us to talk to the police.

I respected his wishes.

Recently he passed away.

And now you want to talk?

Jack was not in a gang.

He was in love with this girl from Vietnam.

It was very shameful for both kinds.

Both kinds?

My husband and I are from China.

Her family are Chinese, but they came from Vietnam.

'No good.'

You think dating this girl got your son killed?

In our culture we take tradition very seriously.

Mrs. Lu, who else knew that Jack had a girlfriend?

I kept it a secret.

My husband was very traditional.

But for me, they were just kids in love.

What's the girl's name?

Tam Sung.

- She was very beautiful. - Was?

She was shot and killed

three months before my son was murdered.

(Scotty) 'You thought Jack's murder was related'

to another killing and you didn't say anything

about it for 26 years?

I know you don't understand, but I had no choice.

Mrs. Lu, this information would have helped

the investigation back then.

Am I too late, lieutenant?

[theme music]

Jack Chao Lu, 17 years old. Shot by a nine-millimeter.

Two in the back, one in the head, close range.

I see why you went with gang execution.

Chinese gangs were at war back then.

Lot of casualties. This kid was a good student.

I couldn't find the connect.

- Which gang came out on top? - Dragon Boys.

Gun-toting punks prided themselves on having no limits.

Extortion, kidnapping, murder..

Are they still running things?

Far as I know, not much you can do when no one

will cooperate or testify.

2,000 years of culture says, don't talk to police.

Hard to fight that.

We started hiring cops in the late '80s

that spoke Mandarin, some Cantonese.

I'll talk to the Asian Gang Unit see if we made any progress.

Hmm.

This the girl Jack was dating?

Yeah, Tam Sung, 17.

'Gang shootout during a street festival.'

Caught in the cross-fire.

No witnesses, no leads?

Looked like a stray bullet.

'Assigned didn't get much further than that.'

Three months later, Jack winds up dead.

Rotten coincidence.

'Compounded by Tam Sung's father.'

Registered a gun in 1980.

Nine-millimeter.

Tam was my only girl.

'She wanted to be a dancer.'

Was she dating anyone?

No, she was too young.

But very beautiful.

I knew when she grew up

I'd be in trouble.

Still got that nine-millimeter

'you bought in 1980, Joe?'

I don't understand.

Do you have new lead on who killed my Tam?

Answer the question, Mr. Sung.

I have the gun. Locked up at home.

Mind if we take a ride with you to go get it?

What's going on? Why did you bring me here?

You remember a kid named Jack Lu?

Do you think I would kill someone else's child

after losing my Tam?

'I would never hurt this boy..'

...no matter what his family think.

How do you know what they think?

I had no problem with Jack, huh?

But his father looked down on my daughter.

So you knew she was seeing Jack?

I knew he was interested in her.

After she died, did you confront him?

No, after the funeral

my wife and I went to Tianjin to be with family.

Gone six months. Look for yourself.

- Don't worry. We will. - Good.

Then look into the murder of my daughter.

We are, but we need your help.

I can't help.

I was right there.

The shooting started and I couldn't do anything.

[indistinct chatter]

[gunfire]

[crowd screaming]

(Jack) 'I'm here. You-you're okay.'

You're okay.

No!

No, no.

God, no.

We got to get out of here.

- Go without me. - The police are coming.

I saw 'em, three guys with masks, dragon tattoos.

One of them had an Uzi. We've got to tell somebody.

- Keep your mouth shut. - We got to tell somebody.

No, keep your mouth shut. Get up. Come on. Let's go.

Get up. Get up. Let's go.

[siren wailing]

I didn't know how much he loved her.

Those tattoos, it was the Dragon Boys

who did the shooting?

I-I didn't see, but we all knew.

After the shooting, did Jack mention going to the police?

We never spoke again.

I saw him at Tam's funeral

but I was too upset to reach out.

Wish I had.

Alright, call me back. Bye.

(Will) Thinking Jack might have reached out to the police

about Tam's murder.

Ray Bianchi worked the Chinatown narcotics unit back then.

Said he'd never heard of the kid.

I'll run Jack's name through NCIC, see if anything pops.

Yeah, the Chinese go to the tong

with problems not the department.

- The tong? - 'Local Chinese merchants.'

Lot of money, power.

Fund the Chinese Trade Alliance.

The CTA gives out scholarships

uh, helps immigrants get jobs, loans.

Sounds good. What am I missing?

Well, Kim Sing tong also controls the Dragon Boys.

Money from the heroin trade.

Gang moves the drugs, runs the brothels, casinos..

The tong gets rich, but never gets their hands dirty.

So, a bunch of old businessmen control the gangs?

Tong's like Chinese Mob.

Only harder to crack.

The tong never deals directly with the gangs.

Always through a go-between Chinese call the dai lo.

Department can't touch the tong

'cause we never knew who the dai lo was.

(John) 'Yeah, we still don't.'

It took 26 years for Jack's mother to come forward.

Let's find out what the brother knows.

[instrumental music]

Detectives Rush, Valens, homicide.

I'll be right with you, detectives.

You don't need to close.

We just want to ask you a few questions.

It'll be easier to talk without customers coming in and out.

Please.

(Scotty) 'You know your brother had a girlfriend?'

I was with him when Tam got killed.

I had no idea my mother knew about her

until she said she was going to the police yesterday.

You don't think she should help find your brother's killer?

You don't understand.

My father didn't want us talking to the police.

Well, you're right. We don't understand.

Think you'd want justice.

American justice doesn't work for people in Chinatown.

Well, it definitely won't if you don't tell us

what's going on, that's for sure.

Alright, say I get robbed and I tell you who did it

you arrest them, they get out on bail and burn down my store.

Who pays to rebuild? Not the police.

Jack feel the same as you about talking to cops?

Jack thought he was American, not Chinese.

I'm getting the impression you two didn't get along.

We were different, but I loved my brother.

I wish I'd tried to understand him when I had the chance.

Did Jack say he knew who killed Tam?

He thought it was the Dragon Boys.

Didn't know which one so he was angry at them all.

Thank you, this tree will bring us much luck.

[speaking Cantonese]

We don't want your orange tree.

[scoffs] Your pop already paid me. See you next week.

I said we don't want the stupid tree.

You're kidding, right?

- Jack! - I apologize for my son.

We're not paying for your junk anymore.

Ah-ho.

[speaking Cantonese]

What's going on here?

Bo-Lin, we are fortunate you came when you did.

My son thanks you.

♪ Whisper your name ♪

♪ In an empty room.. ♪♪

Jack could have got us all killed.

You know who the thug was?

Dragon Boy named Danny Yo.

- Long dead. - 'Who's this Bo-Lin?'

(Scotty) 'Sounds like Danny Yo was terrified of him.'

(Ling) 'Terror is different than respect.'

Bo-Lin Chen is a very respected man around here.

(Scotty) 'CTA.'

Chinese Trade Alliance.

That's right. My father was a businessman.

Jack have a problem with Bo-Lin Chen?

No, I don't think so.

'Bo-Lin was a great friend to our family.'

Do you have any chrysanthemum tea here?

I look for it everywhere.

We ran out. Um, just ordered some more.

Try the jasmine.

You knew Jack Lu?

He's my cousin.

Um..

Guess I'll just have to come back then.

Danny Yo was shot and killed in 1985.

- No witnesses. - No leads?

But he was bailed out three times.

Bail slip always signed by Mr. Bo-Lin Chen.

Well, Ling didn't say Mr. Do-gooder was involved

with a thug like Danny Yo.

Could be scared of him.

Today Chen is the president of the CTA.

But back in '83, he was on the front lines.

Racketeering, heroin trafficking..

Charges all dropped.

Witnesses never made it to trial.

Two to the body, one to the head.

Just like Jack.

Bo-Lin was the connect between the tong and the gang.

Looks like we found our dai lo.

[instrumental music]

[speaking Cantonese]

Detectives, how can I help you?

Jack Chao Lu.

You remember him?

Oh, yes, of course.

Hong Lu's son.

Got killed by street gangs, I think.

Very tragic.

We're looking at the Dragon Boys.

I'm sure you're familiar.

Gangs are horrible for Chinatown.

I've always tried to get rid of them.

That why your name is on a dozen of their bail slips?

(John) 'Putting bangers back on the street'

your idea of cleaning up Chinatown?

[laughing] No, you misunderstand.

I run the CTA scholarship fund.

We try to help children who lost their way.

Alright, drop the act, Bo-Lin.

We know that you were the dai lo back in 1983.

If Jack was targeted it went through you.

I'm just a local businessman.

I wanna help, but I don't know anything.

Just tell us who had a problem with Jack.

We'll leave you alone.

Otherwise we gotta start looking into your affairs.

It's your time to waste, detective.

I've been a friend to the department for many years.

That's what you'll find.

This ain't going away, friend.

Have a nice day, detectives.

Huh.

[phone ringing]

(Scotty) 'Yeah, I'm looking for Emil Parker.'

Okay, do you have his new number?

Well, he's not in any trouble, I just need to talk to him

about something he saw at the Dayley's parking lot.

Ma'am? Hello?

Uh, who's printing

five trees of paper?

What are you looking for?

"Chapter two. Some elevator repairman found

"her rolled up in an old throw rug, fair-skinned

"and raven-haired." Is that yours?

What a man prints is his own business.

Oh, sorry, just trying to do a little police business.

What'd you find?

Jack talked to a cop after all.

Two months before he died someone logged him

in as a ped stop.

- Who? - I'm trying to print that out.

But now it's in all this mess.

Ray Bianchi, narcotics.

Didn't boss say he asked Bianchi about Jack back in the day?

Said he'd never heard of the kid.

I'm sorry, John.

I want to help, but, uh, that was 26 years ago.

Uh, let me refresh your memory.

Jack Chao Lu.

You stopped him outside the 10th Street casino.

June 15, 1983.

You know how many Chinese kids I stopped outside that casino?

Come on.

Back then you and me both had a seat

at Jimmy's Thursday night game

seven-card stud, remember that?

Of course, till the wife shut it down.

One night at the table I asked you.

You said you never heard of him.

Well...if that's what I said, then I guess I had my reasons.

I was working a homicide, Ray.

Okay, look.

I was on a joint task force with the Feds.

Heroin trafficking.

It was big.

I beat my head against the wall on this case.

It was cold before the kid was in the ground.

Believe me, anything I had on him wouldn't have helped you.

That was my call to make, not yours.

I'm sorry, John.

I couldn't out myself even after the kid got killed.

He was an informant?

No, he was just a young kid

looking for revenge.

[instrumental music]

[speaking Cantonese]

(Ray) 'Move out.'

You, drop the knife.

Get up on here.

You are one dumb kid.

They had guns and you arrest me for a knife?

I am not arresting you.

I'm saving your ass. What the hell were you thinking?

Just want to know which one of them did it.

- Did what, kid? - My girl got shot.

And nobody cares.

Going after some Dragon Boy won't make a difference.

'You're just like the rest of them.'

You accept it how it is, and you don't do anything.

No, the department is going after the guys

that run the street gangs.

The heroin smugglers.

And you, I want you to stay away from those thugs.

You hear me?

Then tell me what to do.

I gotta do something.

Had a flophouse out in Fairhill.

Paid the kid a few bucks to come

out once a week and translate tapes.

God knows we needed the help.

The Feds had translators.

You didn't need to get Jack involved.

One guy spoke Cantonese.

Came down from New York twice a month.

What was on those tapes?

Not much, couple small drug busts, that's it.

I want the transcripts.

Feds got that stuff. I.. If they even still have it.

Call who you gotta call.

(Lilly) Yeah, I'll wait.

[dramatic music]

I got all day.

Uh, I'll call you back.

Detective Rush?

I brought you that tea that you like.

Well, thank you.

Here, have a seat.

Is there a...place we could, uh, talk?

I'm gonna make some of this tea.

Want some?

I worked at Hong Sheng Long since I was a kid.

Stock shelves, deliveries, whatever they need.

Well, it sounds like you gave your life to that store.

I owe them at least that much.

Why's that, Warren?

You know, coming in here took courage.

No.

I'm not that kind of person.

You're here, aren't you?

I used to want to be like, like the Dragon Boys.

You know, not afraid of anything.

But it was Jack who had the real courage

not me.

[panting] They took Stacey, Jack.

I couldn't stop 'em. They had guns.

Calm down. Just tell me what happened.

Supposed to watch my sister, so I figured I'd take her

to the arcade, just-just for a little while.

Which arcade?

One near the Tenth Street casino.

- Oh, my God. - I know, I screwed up!

Bunch of Dragon Boys, they told me..

They told me to bring money to this address.

- They're going to kill Stacey. - Okay, okay.

- Just let me think. - What am I going to do?

All they want is the money. They're gonna give her back.

They said they want $360 for luck.

Warren, look at me. Go home, okay?

I'm gonna try and bring her back to you.

A van...dropped off Stacey few hours later.

Then what happened to Jack?

I found out the next day he was dead.

You ask Stacey what she saw?

She didn't talk for a week.

Made her promise not to tell anyone what happened.

She never trusted me again.

We'll need to talk to Stacey.

We don't talk anymore.

She never comes back to visit.

If I could just go back..

...I would have brought the money myself.

(Eddie) 'Hey, gorgeous.'

What's that you said, I never take you out?

No, not like that.

What's the matter? You don't like Italian?

Food or the car?

I know this great little place down the Shore. Come on.

The Shore?

How fast is that car?

I'll get you home before sun-up.

(Lilly) Haven't done this in a while.

(Eddie) What's that, skeeball or the go-carts?

Watch the sun come up.

Oh, that.

It's good.

I'm sorry I got us kicked out back there.

You ran a 10-year-old kid off the track.

Hey, him or me.

Yeah, well, punk tried to box me in.

Should see me on the bumper cars.

So the wine, the food..

...the Maserati?

[chuckles]

What, you don't think I can rock that?

I know what you make.

You gotta play the part sometimes.

You know I thought you might get a kick out of it.

Oh, no, I did.

It was fun. Thanks.

Figured diamond studs might seem a little too forward, you know.

Oh, yeah, this is much more subtle.

It's not a rental.

Figured since you're my girl and all.

Oh, it's-it's beautiful.

I can't...wear this around.

Not on my salary.

Hold on to it till the next time we go out.

Let me guess. No returns or exchanges?

You don't like it?

Oh, I-I didn't say that.

Just don't throw it in the Schuylkill.

Hey.

Thank you.

But...what?

You lied.

Said you'd get me back before sun-up.

Come on.

[dramatic music]

You don't mind, I'll give that back to you

when we're done here.

I don't mean to be rude

but I've got a condo showing at 11:00.

When was the last time you saw your cousin Jack Lu?

I'm not sure, he died when I was just a little kid.

You remember being kidnapped?

I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about.

Your brother said Jack went off to pay your ransom.

You came home a few hours later but he never did.

Warren said that?

He wants to help us find out what happened to Jack.

Listen, maybe I went missing a few hours

but I don't remember specifics.

Anything you saw or heard could be helpful.

I was six years old.

I'm sorry, may I have my phone back now?

When I was five I was playing outside.

Neighbor's father had a heart attack

right in front of me.

I remember the sound when his head hit pavement.

I can still see his mail blowing into the street.

I remember everything.

I was five.

Jack saved your life.

(Will) Don't you think you owe him anything for that?

There was this...dripping pipe.

I'll never forget that pipe.

[dramatic music]

Cut it out, stupid.

Don't hurt her. I got the lucky money. $360.

Hand it over.

I'd be honored to give it to Mr. Bo-Lin Chen myself.

Just give it to me.

Please, I just want to talk to Mr. Bo-Lin Chen.

- 'I'll cause no trouble.' - Mr. Bo-Lin Chen, huh?

Stand still.

[speaking Cantonese]

You're gonna get your wish.

Bo-Lin will be the last person you ever see.

Let's go.

Some guy brought me home.

Spent the rest of my life trying to erase it.

Do you know where you were?

I think it was underneath the Shah-Lo Restaurant.

Saw a bunch of take-out boxes and stuff like that.

But they took him somewhere else.

To see Bo-Lin Chen.

I don't know where.

But I never saw Jack again.

- What can I do for you, Detec-- - You can sit down.

Sure.

You own the Shah-Lo Restaurant, Mr. Chen?

I have many business interests.

Like kidnapping for ransom?

Is this some kind of joke?

In 1983 a little girl was held against her will

in the basement of your restaurant.

That never happened.

Well, she remembers it pretty good.

- Knows your name. - Lots of people know my name.

If she saw me commit such a horrible crime

you should arrest me.

No?

I didn't think so.

I'd like to leave now.

Take a seat.

Just need to confirm the last time you saw Jack Chao Lu.

Already told the lieutenant.

I want to help your investigation

but I don't see how I can.

Well, stop jerking us around for one.

(Lilly) 'What'd you call yourself last time we talked?'

Friend to the department?

Yeah, that's a joke.

I serve as a liaison.

Long as the tourists are safe

the police don't care about the people in Chinatown.

Oh, and you do?

They come to me when they need help.

No, you threaten them so they won't talk to us.

Exploit them in sweatshops, casinos, brothels.

That all ends today.

What are you talking about?

Well we're shutting it all down.

Not mine, but what's the point?

You shut 'em down. Other ones pop up.

Maybe, but between now and then you'll lose a lot of money.

I tell you what I know, you leave Chinatown alone?

August 12, 1983.

Jack Chao Lu.

Jack grew up in Chinatown

but didn't understand how it works.

I just tried to put some sense to him.

[instrumental version of "The Twilight Zone"]

Look, don't hurt Stacey Lee, please, alright.

I've got your money.

There's been some misunderstanding.

But I appreciate this token of your respect.

♪ The gun still warm ♪

♪ Maybe my connection is tired..♪♪

What is this about?

You cooperate with police?

I know what you are.

(Bo-Lin) 'I'm a businessman.'

And friend of your father's.

He'd be so ashamed if he saw how you speak to me

with such disrespect.

Businessman, my ass. You smile in our face.

You stab us in the back.

No, no, no. You got it wrong, son.

You want criminal?

Look at your cop friend.

He's too busy lining his pockets with my money to arrest anyone.

That's not true.

You've got a lot to learn about the world.

[speaking Cantonese]

♪ Now that I've gone too far ♪

♪ Soon you will come to know ♪

♪ When the bullet hits the bone.. ♪♪

Jack left angry, but he was alive.

Angry with you.

With the police department, of course.

- They let him down. - You're the one who buys cops.

Well, it's not bribery if the cop takes the money.

It's extortion.

I'm the victim here.

(Scotty) 'Yeah, well, file a complaint.'

- Give us the cop's name. - 'I can't do that.'

I'm being extorted.

Afraid for my life and so on.

You seem to be smart.

You'll figure it out.

Anything on Bianchi?

Found some financial discrepancies.

All three of his kids went to private colleges.

On full scholarships paid for by dummy corporations, foundations.

Traced back to the CTA.

(Will) 'Maybe Jack confronted Bianchi.'

(Kat) 'Had a lot to lose.'

Pension, for sure, probably jail time.

Get him in here.

[dramatic music]

CTA scholarships were the tip of the iceberg, Ray.

We're going through your tax returns and bank statements now.

I'm retired, John.

You're gonna call the rat squad without even talking to me?

They even think you got a kid's murder on your hands.

Bribery's the least of your problems.

You know me, 30 years.

You gotta know I've never hurt that kid.

You gave his name to Bo-Lin Chen.

- What do you call that? - No. No way.

That kid didn't need no help to get himself into trouble.

I was in a tough spot.

You put yourself in a tough spot

when you took money from Bo-Lin.

We make deals, John.

It's how Chinatown works.

We got to take the gifts, or the tong won't even talk to us.

- Don't say we. - Fine.

I got Bo-Lin to stop the gang shoot-outs over turf.

In exchange for what?

Let him smuggle drugs, run brothels and casinos?

What was I supposed to do?

Let tourists get killed while they're eatin'

their sweet and sour chicken?

Jack Lu reached out to the department for help, Ray.

He went against what everybody told him

and he trusted a cop.

He trusted you.

What do you want from me?

[sighs]

Start with the truth.

I can't give you Bo-Lin.

(John) 'Do you have proof that he's the doer?'

(Ray) 'No. There's not gonna be none.'

He never got within a foot of the really dirty work.

Then it's on you.

[sighs]

I couldn't protect that kid.

He had his own set of keys to the flophouse.

Hey, kid.

What you doing here? It ain't Thursday.

- What's up? - I just want to know one thing.

Do you know who killed Tam?

- Have you known all along? - Hey.

- What's wrong? - Answer my question.

They were rival tongs.

One shoots up the other's festival over turf.

I..

No, you got to let it go.

That's why you're going after the heroin smugglers, right?

Bo-Lin Chen, so you can stop that kind of violence?

Look, I told you we're gonna get those guys

but first, we got to build a case.

How you gonna do that when Bo-Lin Chen is paying you

to make sure he doesn't get arrested?

Who told you that?

No wonder everything's so messed up around here.

Good guys are the same as the bad guys.

Went in the room, and..

...whole place was torn apart.

Jack got the other tapes.

What other tapes?

I held back the ones with Bo-Lin's voice on them.

'It was my insurance policy.'

Jack...got 'em all.

- And where are they now? - Gone.

Bo-Lin probably destroyed them when he took Jack out.

You could have made a case against Bo-Lin

with everything you saw and did, Ray.

It doesn't matter.

It's the tong.

You, you cut off one head of the dragon the other one grows back.

Then you go after that one, and you go after the one after that.

You get the guy that did the crime, Ray.

That's the job.

[Ray sighs]

I'm gonna need that phone now.

Call my delegate.

You might want to call your wife first.

If Jack went back to Bo-Lin

he'd destroy those tapes.

Not to mention Jack.

Unless the kid got smarter than that.

[dramatic music]

[speaking Cantonese]

I can't listen anymore.

It's important you ID the voices.

Please don't ask me to do this.

Mrs. Lu.

Your son Jack was very brave.

'Honorable.'

He deserves better.

Justice.

One of them is Bo-Lin Chen.

And the other voice?

Ling...my eldest son

selling his soul to the devil.

[speaking Cantonese]

Hong Sheng Long Market has two trucks.

Can easily move shipments without being stopped.

What about your father?

He's not the type that can be bought.

Don't worry about him.

He trusts what I say.

He'll never know.

[Ling speaking Cantonese]

(Bo-Lin on tape) 'Anything you need.'

Hmm.

I'm sorry, detectives.

I don't recognize either of the voices.

Oh, it's you...and Bo-Lin.

No, no, you're mistaken.

Your brother found this tape.

Probably listened to the whole thing.

If I was him, I'd be pretty disappointed

in my older brother.

He was a naive little kid.

Didn't know anything about responsibility.

He cared about doing the right thing.

Doesn't count in your book?

Jack just cared about himself.

In our culture, we honor and protect our family

above all else.

Think your mother felt the same way.

Excuse me?

Well, you said that you weren't on the tape, but she heard it.

- Told us herself. - No.

I think a mother recognizes her own son.

Is she here?

N-no, she's gone home.

But she did want us to give you this.

What's it say?

"You have brought shame

"to your father

"and to our family name."

That's why you had to stop Jack.

[sobbing] He never understood.

He never understood.

Never understood.

[indistinct chatter]

What are you doing here?

You're using dad's trucks to ship heroin.

I know when and where.

I'm just making a little extra money for the store.

So dad knows?

We already pay hundreds of dollars a week to those punks.

Why shouldn't we get a piece of the pie?

Because they're lowlife criminals, and we're not.

Bo-Lin Chen asked for my help

and is very generous in exchange.

I can't believe you'd touch money from his pockets.

You're a ridiculous little child.

I'd be a sucker if I didn't take

an opportunity handed to me on a silver platter.

So, dad's a sucker?

He's very traditional and there's no point getting

him confused with more business affairs.

- I'm taking over the store. - Not yet, you're not.

Just leave this alone.

Everybody around here wants to leave it alone.

That's why nothing ever changes.

What do you want to change, Jack?

Your buddy Bo-Lin ordered the Dragon Boys

to shoot up the summer festival.

He didn't care who got hurt. I'm going to make him care.

You've lost your mind, little brother.

Not me, Ling.

They killed my Tam, and I got proof.

Where are you going? Wait.

Jack, you're not going to tell dad about the truck?

You did this to yourself.

He'll disown me. You know that.

You're not my brother.

Stop!

Jack!

Stop!

Jack!
