Hey, they've got the power, and we got the power too,

right here on FM 109.

Right now it's 54 big degrees, in Downtown Santa Fe,

With a low tonight of 42 degrees,

It is 8:45...

You have plenty of storage space, Mr. Kwan.

We know you could use the extra money.

I'm not interested.

You don't understand.

I understand very well what you people sell.

I don't want your drugs in my store.

- Mr. Kwan... - Please, leave.

Hello?

Hey, Kim, it's me, Jeff.

Jeff?

I'm not done talking to you.

Get out of my store.

You're a very rude old man, Mr. Kwan.

Leave, now!

Kim... what? What's going on?

Do you think I came here to ask you a favor?

You should be more respectful of our organization.

Kim?

You're going to work with us..

You have no choice.

See you later, old man.

It's the third time this week I had to pick him up at the station.

I can't keep him in school,

His temper is getting worse, and worse...

I can't even talk to my own son..

What the hell's wrong.

Hmm, he took his mother's death pretty hard, Carl..

Kim, we all did.

He's the only one walking around with a chip on his shoulder.

You don't see Adam acting up like that, do you?

Adam is too young to remember Elaine.

All I know is he's headed for some serious trouble.

I'm thinking of enrolling him in a military school...

One that specialize in discipline..

Doesn't sound so special.

Besides, we both remember our experiences in the military.

Christ, Kim, it's not like I don't love him anymore...

It's just, I cannot handle him.

There's another school he might try.

Instead of discipline.

It teaches self-discipline.

It might help Jeff control his...

...energy.

It's called Kenpo school.

It's not one of those new hippie schools, is it?

No, Carl.

Old school.

2000 years old.

Jeff... This is Master Lo.

Pass it down

Jennifer.

Kenpo is a combination of ancient fighting techniques,

and modern scientific principles.

An unending flow of motion.

A force which can overwhelm any attacker.

Every move creates a specific reaction in your opponent.

Each reaction leads you to your next move.

Every strike...

is a block.

Every block, a strike.

Each move flows into the next.

This logical

and sequential flow of action.

Is the essence of Kenpo.

Kenpo can be the most lethal of the martial arts.

To control the power of Kenpo,

you must first control yourself.

Train you spirit,

as you train your body

developing inner strength

balance,

and harmony, as you learn.

A master of Kenpo

is more than an expert in karate.

He is a martial artist.

He is a master of himself.

Alright!

Yo, Tinkerbell,

Off the field!

It's our field too, meathead!

Say what?

Let's just .. forget about it, OK?

No, no, no let's not forget about it.

Why don't you just do what I said?

Off the field Or I'll shove that pole up your ass.

- Try it. - Come on, let's go.

You're not going to let butthead get away with it, are you?

Adam! I said let's go.

- It's not worth it. - It's not worth it?

What's that supposed to mean?

It means he can kick your ass.

You can kick my ass?

With one foot.

With one foot, Erickson!

- Let's go. - We're not done.

I think we are!

I guess, he'd rather play with his pole then.

You little shit.

- What happened? - I don't know?

- Hey check it out. - Over here.

Get up, man. Get up!

- What happened? - I don't know?

- Call an ambulance. Now! - I will.

- Amazing. - Let me through.

What the hell you think you were doing?

The guy hit Adam.

That's no excuse for what you did.

You tried to kill that kid.

I didn't!

By pure luck you didn't.

Had no goddamn idea what you were doing, did you?

Were totally out of control, weren't you!

I sent you to Kenpo school to control your temper.

And this is what you've learned?

You haven't changed.

The only thing that's different is now you're dangerous.

I want you out of my house.

What do you mean?

Someday you're gonna kill somebody I don't want Adam around to see it.

I want you away from Adam.

He got hurt today because he's trying to proof to you how tough he is.

Cause he wants to be like you.

Well, he's not like you,

And I don't want him to be like you.

So you stay the hell away from him!

But, Dad.

I want you out of my house,

And I want you away from Adam. Do you understand?

YeAw.

I'll just stay the hell away from everyone.

You have learned only half of what I teach, Jeff.

You're strong, you're quick,

But you're only a tiger.

Not a dragon.

The tiger, does not think.

Therefore, it can not act.

It can only re-act, respond.

The tiger is strong, and fearless.

But it cannot initiate action.

That is the difference between man and tiger.

Tiger is what I know.

The dragon is also very strong,

but full of wisdom.

The dragon fears...

...what it's strength can do.

This is the tiger.

This is the dragon.

The dragon always...

...has a choice.

The tiger .. never.

I have shown you the dragon, but you have not seen him.

You will not find the dragon in any dojo.

Experience will be your teacher.

You must find him for yourself...

...in your own way.

- And when you do, - I know,

Then I will have learned the dragon.

Then...

...you will be a man.

- Jeff. - There's nothing here for me, Kim.

There is more here for you than you can see right now.

Don't you start too, okay?

I know all about what I can't see, and can't feel and can't learn.

Jesus.

I'm sorry.

You're the last person I should be talking to like that.

I'll miss you, Kim.

Wherever you are, my heart will be with you.

You have a lot of nice things here.

Very old,

Very beautiful.

Cover the back.

You're going to learn to work with us, old man.

Right?

Is there a problem here?

I guess so.

What's going on here?

You alright, Kim?

Better than they are.

- They could be worse. - Hey, Terminator,

I don't know where you came from, but you better go back.

Those guys are Golden Fists.

It's, okay. Lets go.

- You're a dead man. - Jimmy.

This is my friend, Jeff.

Go get the wood from out back, please.

What are Golden Fists, Kim?

Soldiers for Korean mafia.

I never heard of them before.

You have never been Korean.

You know, Jeff?

Koreans come to America because it is the greatest country.

They work hard,

save money,

become citizens,

Open businesses...

...like mine.

But...

Every ship brings rats along with regular cargo.

Korean mafia comes to America too.

Drugs, prostitution, parasites.

I reject their drugs,

So they come and smash things up.

Maybe I should stick around a while, see if I can change their minds, huh?

No I appreciate your offer.

But you are an outsider.

They would think I have hired your for protection.

They think they're losing face.

Tomorrow I'll go and talk to them.

Explain things, they'll understand.

It'll be okay.

Jeff?

You look good.

It is nice to see you again It's been such a long time.

I missed you.

Kim...

Are you sure there's nothing I can do?

No need to worry.

Everything will be fine.

It's like...

...nothing's changed here.

Except, I am now one of my antiques.

Tell me, Jeff. Will you see your family?

Don't get up on my account.

Young gun ho.

Jimmy O.

Look, I'm going to go see Uncle Sam.

- Are you gong to be alright? - Yes, thank you.

Jeff and I have lots to talk about.

Okay, good-bye.

Jimmy's a good boy.

He helps out.

I let him stay here, when he need a place.

Doe he remind you of anyone?

Did I really have that much of an attitude?

You mean you don't, any more?

It's been a long day

I'll see you in the morning.

Why don't you get some rest.

I think I'm gonna get cleaned up and maybe go for a walk.

Good night, Jeff.

Good night, Kim.

Jeff!

YeAw.

It's never too late to come home.

YeAw,

Kim...

No...

Nobody home, asshole.

Except us.

Give me your money, sucker!

You heard the man.

I'm going to cut you, motherfucker!

Is this what you want?

Huh?

You want this?

You want my money?

You want it? Take it!

Excuse me.

Is Mr Kim alright?

Sorry I don't know a thing. Please.

Adam Sanders, Wilshire homicides What do you have?

Korean mafia all the way typically clean hit.

Unless Forensics finds something, we got diddly.

I'd like to work on the case.

There is no case, No one down here talks to the cops.

The victim...

...was a friend of mine.

A very close friend. I'd like to work on the case.

I tell you what,

you get my lieutenant okay it's fine with me.

- I'll get it. - Detective!

YeAw.

So, fill me in?

It's a signature execution we've seen it before.

It's always connected to the Hiro-Pan network

Hiro-Pan?

Yes, methamphetamine. It's a best-seller for the Korean mafia.

Who runs that stuff

I'd be the chief of the DEA if I knew that one.

I'll tell you this, though. Whoever this guy is, he's smart.

I'll get you the records.

Anything else.

YeAw, male Caucasian who found the body.

Tell me again.

Look, I told you four times already.

You're going to tell me again and again...

He was around here yesterday.

Show him pictures if you think it'll do any good.

Who knows? He might recognize someone.

Anyways, he's all you got, Sanders.

What?

Jeff?

Adam.

Oh, my God.

I know this seems like a waste of time, but uhm..

you never know.

Other things, you know, might turn something up.

First one.

YeAw.

So where you going?

I thought .. Aw .. we'd ..

...might go see Dad.

I got some things to care of.

- What things? - Don't ask.

Jeff, just hold on a minute.

Look, just stay out of it, kid. It's for your own good.

- Jeff. - What?

Kim was family to me too, alright?

You cannot handle this by yourself

and what's more, If you try, I don't care if you're my brother or not

I'm going to come down on you like a ton of bricks.

Send my regards to Pop.

Excuse me.

- I'm looking for someone. - I can't help you.

Know anybody who can?

Guess not.

Hi.

Wonder if you can help me

I'm looking for a guy.

He's good in Tae-Kwon-Do.

5'8", 150 pounds.

Got a tattoo of a spider, right here.

You know him?

YeAw.

Great.

I need to talk to him Where is he?

Why don't you go home? Before you get hurt?

I wonder if I can kick you ass?

No.

Not just you.

All three of you.

- Are you serious? - YeAw.

Are you?

I take on all three of you, you point me in the right direction.

Deal?

Full contact.

No protection.

No problem.

This is my dance.

Come on, whiteboy!

Let's see what you got.

Come on.

No.

Get up!

Get up.

Where is he?

Forget it.

We had a deal.

Talk.

Croc Pit.

Where?

Croc Pit Club.

He hangs out there.

They all do.

Thanks.

Who said it never hurt to ask.

- Hello - Yes

I'm Detective Sanders.

I'd like to ask you some questions, please.

- Yes? - Kim.

He has a store across the street.

- Kim? - Yes.

I'm investigating his ..

Kimchi.

- No - Yes.

No. Mr. Kim...

I'm investigating his murder.

- Mo-dAw? - Yes.

I'd like to...

Mo-dAw.

Thank you for your time.

- Keep the change. - Yes.

Have a nice day.

I canvassed a four square-block radius,

around Kim's store.

No one's saying anything.

Wish to god I was back on the street, I could help you.

You got everything you need. You just get these bastards.

Right, Dad. We'll get them.

What happened to you?

Rough night.

WoAw, Jeff, woa.

Your not going anywhere till you tell me about the kid.

The kid, Jeff.

The one you left out of your statement

the one that was living in Kim's apartment?

We have his clothes, we got prints all over the place; we got not ID.

Now, you're going to tell who he is.

I don't know... who you're talking about.

Hey, kid.

That was him, wasn't it?

Great, Jeff.

Thanks a lot, bro.

You just scared off the one lead I had. The one lead I had!

Come on. That kid is from the street.

He's never going to talk to a cop I know.

You know shit, Jeff.

You know what you're doing? You're helping those bastards get away.

Why don't you just go play with your badge?

Go do your little police academy bullshit.

You know what?

Kim wouldn't even be dead if you weren't back in town.

Did you know that?

You're the one that killed him, Jeff!

This is your goddamn fault!

You're going to shoot me, Adam?

Haven't I seen you somewhere before?

You don't belong here, punk.

Who killed Kim?

Fuck you.

Who killed Kim?

No!

Take him outside.

Kim was a good man.

He was a friend of mine.

A very good friend.

We spent many happy moments here, in Korea town.

I want to help.

What can you do?

I have some information.

But not here.

It's not safe.

Come.

Please.

It is important.

We can talk privately in here.

Come.

I was going to see Kim on the day he died.

We had a meeting.

I could've made things right for him, but ..

Except that I waited too long.

And now .. my friend is dead.

And I did nothing to help him.

The man who murdered Kim...

...must be punished.

And the punishment must fit the crime.

Tell me what you know.

There are four Onjabus in Korea town.

Mafia leaders.

Anyone of the three could've done it.

Ye Mei, .. Otoko, .. Wo Sam...

What about the fourth?

The fourth Onjabu is Yong.

How do you know Yong didn't do it?

Because I am Yong.

And yet I can do nothing.

Nothing.

If the other Onjabus learn that I am seeking vengeance for my friend's death.

They would turn against me.

There would be total war in Korea town.

Much blood would be shed.

Too much blood.

There is only one person...

...who could bring about justice without...

...total war.

That is an outsider.

Will you do this thing?

You just point the way.

There's a man named Kai.

He's a soldier for hire.

My people have heard him talking.

I'm sure he knows the man who ordered Kim's death.

Where is this Kai?

We will find him.

The man on the right.

That's Kai.

Want to live?

A name.

Wh ordered Kim's death?

Say it.

Wo Sam.

Wo Sam? No, no.

I'm sorry, it's too dangerous.

Wo Sam is very heavily protected.

Besides, you don't know him.

- Wo Sam is an animal, if you .. - Hey.

We had an agreement.

Wo Sam lives in the Cocoma Hotel.

He owns it.

Everyone there works for him.

The whole top floor is his.

The only way in to the top floor is by ..

...a private elevator.

From the garage to .. To the penthouse

be careful.

There are guards at the gate...

...and the basement. At the top.

He's surrounded at all times.

Min?

You okay?

Anything happens to me

I'll snap your neck before I hit the ground.

You want money?

I don't want your money.

You took Kim's life.

Now I'm going to take yours

I did not.

You may kill me, but I will not die saying a lie.

Then, you'll just die.

Leave him alone -- Stay away.

Let him go! What're you dong?

He killed Kim.

No way, Sam was Kim's friend!

He's like my Uncle.

Sam's been protecting me from Yong.

Yong?

That's who killed Kim.

Who lied to you?

Yong.

A man tells you something

and you invade my home

try and take my life

in front of the eyes of my children?

He fingered a soldier named Kai.

Kai said you did it

Kai works for Yong.

Is that right?

Why should I believe you more than Yong?

Everybody in Korea town knows Yong killed Kim, Dick!

Tracy...

Think, Yong wants me dead,

But he knows it will start a war that will destroy even him,

So he sends an outsider.

An outsider who will do anything ..

...to avenge a friend.

He can never be blamed.

No evidence, no proof.

Just some crazy stranger.

The pefect weapon.

What will you do now?

...if I let you go?

Yong and I have some unfinished business.

And I will finish it

I'm going with you.

Forget it!

No way. You're going to need my help.

You're just a kid.

Who knows how to find Yong.

- No deal! - Excuse me.

You must find Yong

...before he can leave for Korea.

Take the boy. He can help you find him.

You came to take my life

you leave with my blessing

and one of my people

strange deal.

So how many people have you killed?

None, kid.

Come on, we're working together you can tell me.

Is that what you're looking forward to?

Killing someone?

Aren't you?

I mean, as soon as we catch this guy, what choice do we have?

- Only one. - You're lucky.

You're lucky Sam let me help you.

I'm his fastest runner.

I'm the fastest runner this side of the Pacific Rim.

I know, I've seen you run.

Hey,

How come you took off from the funeral like that, instead of helping me then?

I wasn't running from you, brainiac.

I was running from Yong, he saw me.

Look ..

Sam's tough enough, but Yong ..

He's heavy duty.

Yakuza connections,

drugs and protection only.

He's Korea town's Hero-Pong hero.

The mystery man.

Nobody even knows where he lives.

the only place for sure, where I know he goes every day..

...his bank.

That's good enough for me.

But you're not getting up on Tanaka.

Yong's bodyguard.

Yong doesn't go anywhere without him.

Guy's built like goddamn Godzilla.

And nobody gets near Yong when Tanaka's around.

That's for shit sure.

- Don't swear, kid. - What are you my mother?

Where is your mother?

Hey... we can split up and meet back at the hotel, okay?

YeAw, but you still didn't answer my question.

She's dead, alright!

How old were you when she died?

None of your business.

Kim was right.

You do remind me of someone.

I lost my Mom when I was ten.

So we do have something in common?

Hey round-eye?

Hey, the bank's not open yet, Sherlock.

Mind tell me where we going?

To talk to someone.

Who?

A cop.

- What? - Relax.

He's my brother

I want you to talk to him.

Hey, I'm not talking to no cop.

- I want you to tell him you saw Tanaka. - But I didn't.

He doesn't know that.

I want you to tell him you saw Tanaka kill Kim, okay?

Then he's going to ask if you'll testify to that, I want you to say, yes.

You're dumber than you look

I'm not going to no court and talk to no cop, No way!

That wasn't part of the deal. You can drop me off right here.

Will you just listen to me for a minute?

If we tell my brother you saw Tanaka

then he'll arrest him in the bank before anyone knows what's happened.

So what?

That puts Yong in the back of the limousine,

...alone.

Maybe you're not as dumb as you look.

We're in position in the bank parking lot.

You guys stay put until the suspect is inside the bank.

Stay lively, guys. Do you copy?

That's a copy, 1830.

Jeff?

YeAw.

You know when you wanted to do this alone, by yourself?

I mean...

Just go find that bastard who killed Kim

...just blow him away...

I wanted to do the same thing.

I know what you're feeling...

...and...

...I'm really...

...glad that we're doing this together.

I mean, I never thought it'd turn out like this,

and it's good.

Wake up, dim-brains, there he is!

Target on scene.

He's not stopping at the parking lot he's headed for the drive-through teller.

This is going down wrong I'm going to pull along-side and take a look.

Alright, Jimmy...

I want you to do exactly what I tell you.

You stay down there, close the windows

because I don't want him seeing you before you can ID him.

Don't worry about it. He won't see me.

- Are we there yet? - No.

Aw Christ, lady.

- What's happened? - We're going to lose him.

- Are we there now? - No, we're definitely not there now.

Come on lady, move it!

Okay, Jimmy.

Positive identification.

Seat-belts!

1830, suspect's made me.

Switching to control.

1830, officer needs assistance,

187 suspect.

Northbound on Harvard.

Wow, this is cool!

Alright, little brother!

We're gong to get him, Jeff.

Oh shit!

Oh .. shit.

Shit ..

Freeze.

Let me see your hands!

Now!

Put your hands on top of your head.

Now, do what he said, put them up!

Hook him up.

Get back in the car.

- Stay in the car. - Oh, man!

Jeff... Jeff!

Hold your fire.

Disperse -- I want him alive.

Yong!

Shit!

This taser's got 50,000 volts of electricity.

On your knees, let me see your hands

I'm going to light you up!

Adam!

Shit!

It's clear.

Adam... you're alright?

Of course I am.

Alright, have the paramedics take a look at this guy before I transport him out of here.

And I'll hook up with you later at the station

I need to tell you something.

Did it, bro.

We got him.

I heard you did a nice job back there.

You were gutsy.

You would've done the same thing, Tim.

I don't know.

How long you been on the job?

Five and a half months.

Don't worry you'll be fine.

Hey.

Hi!

I messed up.

You helped me out I didn't come through.

I didn't help you, Adam.

Jimmy didn't see Tanaka do anything.

I lied.

I didn't know what Tanaka was ..

Except that he was muscle for the guy that killed Kim.

Yong.

He gave the order.

That was Yong's limousine.

He was supposed to be in the back.

I used you to get to Yong.

I didn't want anything to happen to you, Adam.

I jut wanted Yong so bad.

...I wasn't thinking

Christ, Adam, we're family.

YeAw.

We are.

It's okay.

So what about Yong?

Jeff,

you kill Yong, you throw away your whole life

and Jimmy's.

He looks up to you.

YeAw, I know

Kim was trying to help him out.

And you really think he would want you to do this?

There's only one line between us and them.

And once you cross it ..

You can never come back.

So, aww .. how is he?

He'll be okay.

Look, I gotta go.

Hey, you watch yourself, son.

I'll be there.

Let's do it.

Aw, man, come on. What are we doing up here?

Checking things out.

Come on. Let's go, let's rock 'n roll.

Tell me everything you heard.

I already did.

Tell me again.

Yong brings the stuff he makes hiropong with down there okay.

There's guards and workers all over the place.

What about the inside?

It's like a factory.

Lots of workers.

A speed-boat comes out of this big ship and he picks him up.

Takes Yong wherever he wants to go.

That's how he got out of the country the last time cops tried to bust him.

I'll wait till night.

You stay at the hotel.

- If I don't make it out. - You will.

Yeah.

If I don't ..

You get a hold of my Dad.

Captain Sanders.

You'll be safe with him.

When you get him.

Kill him for Kim.

Kill him for me.

Ha, you believe it still works?

The boat should be here by now.

We should go outside.

Hey, you!

Hold this.

Thanks.

Break time, guys.

Not to worry.

We are prepared.

Are you faster than a speeding bullet?

Try it, Superman.

I want you to try it.

Come on.

Come on!

I'm glad you dropped by.

I was hoping you would have a chance to say goodbye.

Thanks of extending the ...courtesy.

Brains.

This way, Kai.

This way.

Wait, wait.

Don't talk to me.

Don't .. kill me.

Punishment must fit .. the crime.

Who said that?

This is what it feels like ...just before you .. die!

Get up.

I really want to kill you ..

...but you're not worth it.

- Hey, hey. - That's alright, let him go.

Keep everybody back.

- Alright, everybody back. - Man,

I thought you were..dead.

Hey... you didn't kill him.
