Original subtitles

Where do you want to go?Oh.

Here. This place.

All right.

Hold it. Really want.

Don't you think you've had enough?I think

it's time you quit. Why?Don't you get

bored by it all?Kung Fu instruction

every day. It's a hell of a way to earn

a living. It's the only thing I know,

and I like it.

I don't agree. I'm getting fed up

to the teeth. Day after

day, the same thing. And there's not any

money in it either. What have you got to

moan about?Well, I need a

change. What for?I do.

I need it. And now.

Not tomorrow. I never took it seriously.

You know that rubbish about sacred

principles. I want money in the bank.

That's what counts. Money can buy

anything. I need cash.

I don't know what's got into you.

What's with you anyway?Have you ever

gotten what you were taught?You're

ignoring the teachings,

and I don't like that. It could mean

trouble for you. You mean you still

believe that crap?I believe it.

Of course I do. Why not?What

for?You're a born loser, man.

You're never going to make it. You need

some money. I need a fine

fulfillment, and then I'll have lived a

good life.

One day. I'll show you

what a good life is. I'm not going to

waste my time around here. You wait and

see. Just give me three years. That's all

I need.

Don't leave it too long before you make

it over. I'll be waiting for you.

HuhYour money.

Come on. Come on

OK.

Lenny, you're fair, Sir.

Why?And tip. You're meant to tip.

Really. That's so.

Now get out of here.

Dear, you're the mud.

He...

Ladeth me beside the still water.

He maketh me to lie down in green

pastures. Yea, though I walk

to the valley, shadow it.

Excuse me, miss.

UhPerhaps you can help. Doesn't

Mr. Gohagan live here?

Oh, what's wrong?Something about it. I'm

afraid he's dead. He's dead.

It's terrible. He was in

such good spirits. He went out for a

drink. What happened then?I don't know.

But yesterday he was discovered dead.

So sudden. He seems

to commit suicide. He fell from a roof.

Terrible. I...

I can't believe it.

What

do you want?

Let's catch.

Okay. One more, right?

This guy

tried to pull the belly down. I tell you,

all she did was just put the knee in and

clapped it with the cast of neck. Ohh

Go,

baby, go!

Who are you?

You know him?

What are you doing here, boy?What are

you after

here?Ohh

God, no! 'Cause you don't have any

proof at all. Or any witnesses.

So I've just your story, that it was

self-defense. What can I do?You

could get the chair. And what sort of

chair is that?You what?What's

with this guy?He wants his own special

kind. He wants to have his own

maid. Da fool! Are you

putting us on?Give us some proof, or

you're gonna fry, boy. I told you I don't

have any. Goddamn you! I

told you. What's the matter with you?This

is meant to be a democracy. You

can't push people around. I've got my

rights. Ohh, your rights. You

got your rights, boy. Yeah, it is meant

to be a democratic country, but you still

need to have proof, and you'll need bail,

otherwise I'm gonna lock you up. And then

you can rot in prison until we meet in

court and sort it out there. I don't know

anyone. In that case, be our guest.

You can make yourself at home here. Well,

nothing would surprise me. I've learned

to be philosophical about this kind of

thing. Huh

What the hell is this guy on about anyway?

Can you tell me that, for Christ's sakes?

Nothing, really. These are answers are

all the same. They think different.

That's all there is to it. Well, I don't

trust this fancy talk. Hello.

Yeah, I understand.

All right, I'll let him go.

You're free to go.

Get the hell out of here, do you hear me?

Get out!

I'm not surprised. A sudden change of

fortunes in the scheme of things. Thank

you, sir. Goddamn you! Hmm

There's someone who wants to meet you.

Who is it?You'll soon find out.

Get in the car.

Excuse me.

The name is Scott Lee. What is yours?Wong

Han. Are you a Chinese?You

sound American. My grandfather. He was

from China. Oh, really?Was he?

Nice to meet you. It's very kind of you.

There's no need to thank me. Please sit

yourself down.

Please.

Did they tell you who put up

the bail for your release?Not yet.

Do you know who bailed you out?No,

I don't know. And I'm not sure I

understand. I did. It

cost me 2 1/2 thousand dollars. But

why?Because I like you.

That the only reason?No, it's not.

I want you to find her. Oh.

Who is she?I'll pay well. You'll

get 5 1/2 thousand dollars when you're

finished.

Hold it. Reconsider.

Chinese know how to be grateful. Sorry,

I don't mean to disappoint you, but

there's something about the way you made

your request I don't quite like. I

must turn you down.

Somebody help me.

Somebody help me.

Come on, baby.

Ohh

What the hell do you want?Leave her

alone. Damn you.

Thank you. It's strange.

America is meant to be free, but what a

lie. Nothing is free in this country.

Everything has a price on it.

AhIs he why you've come here?

Oh, you're on a visit, or are you working

here?I have a problem.

Gohak Han, does the name mean anything to

you?I came here to meet him. You ever met

him yourself?Oh, why should the

name mean anything to me?You've heard

about him. You read of his death in the

papers. I

read that that he committed suicide

But why are we discussing this?It wasn't

suicide. He had become a very

wealthy businessman. He'd everything

going for him. He'd no reason to kill

himself. Something must have happened to

him.

You know something.

All right, I'll tell you.

Let's go to the cafe where I work as a

waitress. I'll tell you about it over

coffee, OK?

Well, let's see. Where shall I begin now?

It must be about two years ago, he

decided to open up his own gymnasium with

the money he'd managed to accumulate over

the years. Through hard work and putting

a bit aside each week, you know.

But the gym also had a Turkish bar. I

worked for him there to pay my

college fees. Anyway,It was a

great success. Almost immediately, we

were turning customers away. It soon

became the in place to go, and within a

year, he'd made it clear $50,000.

It was really fantastic.

But it wasn't the last. He had some bad

luck. It was really terrible.

A pupil, young kid,

was a lawyer's son. During his practice,

he tried to break a brick. By using

his head, he hurt himself. The father

chose to sue to take him to court, and he

and he got a huge amount in damages.

The lawyer knew his law, and he won the

case. He took

Goho Han. for every single cent

that he'd saved. He was

broke without a penny in the world.

Then one day, a group of strangers came

to see

him. A Japanese, a black

man, a white man,

a Mexican,And a cowboy. They looked

a pretty mean bunch. ]

And then what happened to him?] Nothing

at all. They talked briefly and then he

followed them. ] After that?]

He just disappeared. Nothing was heard

for four months. But then one day, he

suddenly turned up again and everything

returned to normal. Shortly after that,

he received your telegram. Then he

went for a drink. Next thing I

heard, he was dead. Thank you. Are

you leaving now?I've heard all I

wanted. You've been most helpful.

I need some time to think. I'll see you

soon. Bye.

Hey, mister! Hey, mister!

Hold on. You can't just leave like that.

What do you expect me to do?Say

something. Like what?Well,

first of all, introduce yourself,

even though it's a coincidence that we

made it all. You did

rescue me. That doesn't just happen every

day, you knowWell, say

something. Don't just stand there. Yeah,

I guess you're right.

Hello. I'm Susan Clarke. How do

you do?What's your name?Wong. Wong Han.

Wong Han, what are you doing tonight?How

should I know what I'm gonna do?Tell me.

What do you mean?I mean, where are you

gonna go to?I've got no way.

I don't know a single soul in this city

of Los Angeles. Well then, where are

you gonna go?Where my fancy takes me, I

guess.

Really, your fancy just go anywhere?

I'll wander around. You poor

boy. I've got a better idea, why not

come home with me?Where to?Come on. You

don't have to, you know. Come off it,

you did do me a great favor today, didn't

you?I suppose so. All

right. Teach me the art of self-defense.

Okay.

It isn't my place. I just look

after it for $100 a month while the

owner's away from town on his annual

vacation. Come on, come

in. OK, make yourself at home. Come

on, you can

put your bags down over here.

Oh,

let me help.

Right now, shall we begin?

Oh, why all the hurry?

Oh, would you like a drink first?

Coffee?Milk, please.

All right. You ready now?OK.

First lesson. Stand like this.

Right now, you have a go. It's your turn.

Ready?

Ohh Well, what do you say?Have I got it

right?Better than that, you're good. Oh

no, I don't believe you. Really, you

learn very fast. Just a minute. You'll

need some money. Take

this. What for?It's for

you, for your tuition. No, you shouldn't.

But it's the right thing to do. You can

pay me something else. Like

what?Let's go to your bedroom.

Now, sit down a moment.

Now listen to me.

I want you to think carefully. Can you

remember what those five men looked like

who took our Kanaway?

Yes, I think I can. Each of them seem to

play a part, like an actor, you knowThe

black one, was he exceptionally tall and

thin?A flashy dresser, wearing an earring?

Oh, yes, you're right. He'd a large gold

one. It looks so good, I

want it for myself.

Susan?Yeah?

Please, do me a favor. Oh, what?

I want to find all of them. There are

still four I have not met.

You are the only one who knows what they

look like and where I might find

them. You must help me. You're my only

hope.

How can?It's impossible. I don't know

where they are by now. It could be

anywhere in Los Angeles, for all I know.

This is an enormous city, you know. I

understand. Los Angeles is an

enormous city. It's

impossible.

No, it isn't. Not for men like

them. They need meeting places where they

make contact. Crooks use the same old

dives week after week.

So, will you help me, please?

Oh, all right.

Good. Thank you. Bye-bye.

Listen, where are you going to go to now

at this hour of the night?

This is your house. It's not permitted

for me to stay here. Please, will you

keep these for me?I'll return for them in

the morning.

I'll see you then. Have a good night's

sleep. Au revoir.

Hi!

Hi

Come on.

So, where did you sleep last night?

Oh, my God, not on a park bench, weren't

you cold?It was freezing out.

You'll catch pneumonia if you're not

careful. Where are we supposed to go

after we've had breakfast?

Well, I'm ready to face the world. What

do you suggest we do first?You can start

the car. Where to?You

said last night there was a Chinatown

here. Yes, there is. All right, then take

me there. Chinatown it is.

Stop the car.

No, you wait here.

Watch where you're walking, you trot on

my shoe.

Your boss is expecting me.

He knows who I am. Even if you're too

thick to understand anything. Now you

take me to 'em.

Come on.

Well, where's your boss?

Are you Are you all right, huh

I'm OK. Did you see him?Yes. I saw him

running away. He seems to be in an awful

hurry, though. Are you sure he's one of

the men who left with Gohaga?Yes, I'm

sure. Good in that case.

We'd better be gone. Gone.

Why did you do it?Why?Tell me why. Why

did you kill Han?Speaker, Speaker! Ta!

Ta! Ta! I will tell you. He

was. He was.

Huh

Frankly, break the door down.

Susan.

Susan.

Susan! Susan!

Susan!

Let's see.

ohh

Susan.

Hi.

Susan.

Susan.

Oh,

that's terrible. I'm so frightened.

Don't leave me. They nearly

killed me. I was so scared. Oh,

I'm scared.

Don't forget to pick me up now after I've

finished work, huhHmm

Wait, you'll need some money, won't you?

I know you don't have any. Really, I can

spare it for now. After all, I'm going to

pick up my wages later.

OK, I'll pay you back.

Bye.

I'm looking for this karate school.

Ohh

Hey, you! Come back here!

They're after me! Quick, there she is.

Who the hell are you?

Hey, Susan.

Sorry to be late, but the car was stolen.

Come on, round the corner. Come.

Where are they?They were here.

Ah, I

saw. Susan, let's

go back. What happened?

This is a good one here. Well, how much

are you asking?You, $60 a week, it's a

giveaway, lady. And is

that a lady?Oh, that's $40 a week, and

that's my rock-bottom price, dear. It

looks good, huhIt's an attractive color.

Well, the paper-- Everything about it's

good, lady, I'm telling you. And how much

for this one over here, huhFor you, my

dear, seventy dollars a week. It's a

bargain, in excellent condition. It's the

best buy. It has a radio and a cassette

recording. Of course it has everything in

it. Oh! It's got

everything you want, lady. It's a

bargain. HuhI'm telling you. Hey! Come

back here, lady! You've missed the

bargain, I'm telling you. Lady, you've

missed the bargain.

Here you are. I found just the right

thing for us over there. Susan, this is

the one. Let's get it. This one, you sure?

Yeah, $50 a week's

OK. But that's all I've got. But we save

on hotel bills. Well, how long are we

going to stay here?Till I find the rest

of those guys and get myself a job.

You saw that man with the Black Hat,

didn't you?Could you see what he looked

like?I don't know. He had his

hat pulled down. I couldn't see, but he

looked horrible. It was terrifying.

Hey, wait! I think someone's inside.

huh Are you looking for me?Are

you, Sasaki?Yes, I

am. Did

you kill him?Why say that?

Why should I commit murder?

Someone killed him. Go ahead.

was mixed up in all kinds of shady

business dealings. Did you know that?

Such as, tell me. Such as

drug smuggling. I don't

believe you. That's up to you.

But you had better listen to me for your

own damn good. Understand?

Your threats don't frighten me one little

bit. You should be.

Why, what are you gonna do about it?Hold

it! Why should I help you?All

right, if you can't help me, then who can?

Umm Mark Welby! Where can I

find him?You can try the

racecourse. I've some questions

for him. That's if you live to ask them!

Phew!

Did you see anything?Not a thing. God

damn it, where's they gone?Look, there

they are!

Waiting. I'll go and search the rest of

the house.

oh

I am Welby. Are you looking for

me?Now

you hear me. You do want me, don't you?

Well, now you found me. You're to hand

over everything you've got.

Put

me down.

me down!

Ohh Hold it!

Who are you?

Uh oh

What?

ohh Come on, you.

Come on. Come on

You better make him speak to us. Why is

he looking for us, huhLet's go. Tell the

trainer. All right.

Come on, you bastard

If you refuse to speak to me or don't

tell the truth, I'll fill you so full of

holes. You'll be just like a pin cushion.

You, you.. All right, you bastardI'll

make you talk now. Why did you murder

Gohakkan?Come on, talk. And why are you

interested in this girl?Huh

Bastard

Hey, Mark!

Mark, this bastard here has been

trying to make me talk. He's looking for

the drugs. So that means the girl

hasn't got them.

If you can make a move, you'll be a fit

man.

Now where's the drugs?Ohh

I swear I'll kill you if you dare lie to

me. We know Go Ha Khan didn't have the

drugs on him. He was supposed to deliver

an assignment to Taipei, but he was

intercepted and died for his pains. But

he passed it on. He must have given it to

you because he had no friends in the

States. He didn't know anyone except you.

Now hand them over.

ah

Chosen. Chosen.

Who are you?

No. Go, Hawk Hunt! ] Right.

It's me. How'd you guess?] But you...

you're dead. You committed suicide,

didn't you?] I

took you in as well. It was a

trick. I put a substitute in

my place. Relying on you

to take the urn

back to my family in Taipei.

However, things didn't

work out. Well, you've succeeded very

well so far. The drugs

are worth one million dollars.

In other words, five million Hong

Kong. A lot.

And I could have been set up for the rest

of my natural life. But that's all

finished now. You're crazy.

You'd have never have got away with it.

You'd have been hunted down and they'd

have killed you. And how could you betray

your own friend?You're right. How could I?

But I was counting on you. I knew

you. I figured you wouldn't let me

down. I knew that you'd take

the iron and return it to my

family. But

now it's all gone wrong. And it's all

because of you. Not my fault.

No?Well, now I'm gonna

kill you.

Hey!

You fool, you. You're no match for

me.

I'll break you a pine.

Just wait and see. I'll snap your

bones. You've lost the right to live.

Well, we all have to die one

day. Your time's now. You shouldn't

upset yourself too much.

What

did it fall?

Well done, partner. You'll see now

who your Chinese friend is. Hi, FBI

Narcotics Squad. We've had you under

surveillance all the time. We knew Go was

still alive, so we released you on bail

hoping you would find him. But I'm afraid

we couldn't tell you about it. Otherwise

you might have blown a whole operation.

But we've been working on this case for

over a year now.

Please, you mustn't hold it against us.

Let's be going, hmmYou'll get a medal for

all the help you've given us.
