but then I remembered you're not my boss.
- Do you really think Father would have wanted you
to cross the salt just to get yourself killed?
He'd want you rotting away in a duck prison?
- Oh, thanks, by the way, for getting me out.
That was great. Really saved my ass.
- As usual.
I'm gonna do it one final time.
I'm sending you home.
- Come with me.
- Ah Sahm...
I'm never going back.
I'm nobody in China... - No,
I'm not going without you. - And you're nobody here.
There is going to be a war between the tongs...
and if you're on the wrong side,
I won't hesitate.
I can't.

- I figured you'd be home and in bed by now.
- Come and talk to me when you've got four kids.
- I thought it was five?
- Fuck me. I keep forgetting Ethan.
He's my favorite too.
You want a drink?
Or don't you drink anymore?
You left all that behind in Georgia too?
- Oh, on the contrary,
I'm the only hell my mama ever raised.
- Well, come on, then.
Two.
Well, let's go. Out with it.
- With what?
- Oh, I don't know... [sighs]
But it's always something with you.
- [chuckles]
Right, well, um...
I guess I just wanted to apologize.
- Well, this sounds promising.
- You are the superior officer,
and you know the streets better than I do.
I shouldn't be questioning you.
- You're damn right about that.
- [exhales]
- You're a strange bird, Lee.
- How's that?
- Well, for starters,
most cops don't dig around in the guts of dead men.
- [laughs] Well...
I spent my whole life on a farm.
Cows start dying, you gotta look inside,
see what's killing them.
- People aren't animals.
- Aren't we?
We've just got these bigger brains that trick us
into thinking we're something else.
- Here you are.
- Put it on my tab.
Look, you're a good kid...
and you're gonna be a fine cop.
And I should know. I used to be one.
- [chuckles]
- One of these days,
we'll get ourselves reassigned out of Chinatown
and we'll go off and do some real police work.
All right?
- Sounds good, Sergeant.
- But until then,
you keep your head down.
You do what you have to to survive.
This Chinatown beat...
there's about 100 different ways it can bury you...
on both sides of the line.
Do you understand?
- I do.
- No, you don't.
Not yet.
[sighs] But you will.
[men shouting]
I'm sorry to leave you before you finish your drink,
but I've got an appointment.

AH SAHM: New saloon in Nevada.
MAN: There're no laws here.
If you leave now, I won't kill you.
HARLAN FRENCH: I don't care what kinda circus kicks you can do,
I haven't met a man who can dodge a shotgun blast.
I guess it's settled then.
