wish they all could be california.  wish they all could be california girls.
that was my cd. don't you ever touch a chinese man's cd.
those girls drove off because of you.
you invited them to get naked and sacrifice a small goat.
you owe me a copy of the beach boys greatest hits, volume two.
mu-shu? you're hungry?
any leads?
it's my responsibility.
of course not. my superindendent invited us to a club tonight. big party.
carter, would i lie to you?
no.
no.
i'll meet you at the bar in ten minutes. they don't like tourists in here, so try to blend in.
bathroom.
carter, get off that stage!
this is a gangster bar, we're here undercover.
i'm sorry.
no, we're here for information, to find out where a man named ricky tan is. we must tread softly and keep our ears open.
carter, you don't understand. these men are fu-cang-long triads. part of the most deadly gang in china.
no. you are a civilian. in china, i am michael jackson, and you are toto.
you just said you're their worst nightmare - and to line their mothers up for a milking.
try to land on your feet.
i'm sorry.
no time. there was an explosion at the american embassy today -- two american translators were killed.
this won't take long.
yes, master.
i need your help, master. i'm seeking a man who used to train with you. he's become a killer - the worst kind of animal.
ricky tan?
how do i find ricky tan?
i know, master, but.
heaven on earth? master, i don't understand. a temple, where heaven is on earth? a mountain, where earth reaches for the --
carter. you ready to have some fun!?
just follow my lead and act like a tourist.
hello.
my friend is on vacation, from america. i want to show him a good time.
what are you doing?
well, hurry up.
over there -- that's ricky tan.
this is a very dangerous man.
i'm calling for back up!
you must come with me for questioning.
don't look at my ass!
where are you going?
fine. go home. who needs you.
stop! i'm sick of your bullshit!
it's my job!
i have plenty of dates.
you would never understand my life. you're not chinese.
the secret service? why?
how can we help?
i can get to ricky tan.
carter! carter!
all he wanted was some mu-shu.
i'm sorry, i have to go.
did you tell sterling?
thank you.
ricky tan. where is he?
the hong kong police. he killed a detective today and he's not getting away with it. now where is he?
carter?
you.
not yu. you!
do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?
i'll meet you on the main deck in ten minutes.
i'm okay, you go.
remember i told you my father was a policeman? ricky tan was his partner for ten years.
don't.
the police can protect you.
tell me why they killed the customs agents.
hu li!
i'll take him.
don't push me, carter. i'm in no mood for your bullshit.
i'll bitch slap you into bangkok.
don't be talking about my mama. or my ass!
no. she's a school teacher.
good at what?
five years ago, my father was chief inspector working a big international smuggling case.
ricky tan killed my father.
he found out his partner, tan, had been working for the triads all along. before my father could prove it, he was killed in the line of duty.
all the evidence against him disappeared, the smuggling case was unsolved. tan resigned and went over to the triads openly.
no, no, that would be crazy --
i thought you'd think it was crazy.
i know. i know. i am sorry.
what?
i cannot go to la.
you said --
why la?
i should go back. ricky tan mentioned a boat in hong kong harbor.
follow the rich white man?
follow the richwhiteman.
who?
how do you know he's our man?
you sound like that all the time.
maybe. but not like asians. we never panic.
just tell me where i can find this steven reign.
he just left. kissed her on the cheek.
how do you know?
carter, there's something i have to tell you. you were right about what you said in hong kong. all i do is work. never take a day off. it's all i have right now.
the truth is, i haven't had any mu-shu in six months.
my fiancee left me over the summer -- a month before our wedding.
it's a long story.
no. it was my singing.
she hated my voice. said it drove her crazy. i sang to her all the time - in bed - in the shower - i thought she liked it. she finally told me it was driving her crazy.
she's just standing around -- not doing much.
i'll try to stay awake. it's so boring.
slow down, baby.
nothing. i said nothing.
is it hot in here?
i'm gonna go in the hall and get a bucket of ice. you want some ice?
she's getting undressed.
no. it's not right.
what's she doing?
i don't want to hear this.
snoopy? i love snoopy.
that's enough. we shouldn't be doing this!
what?
what is it?
i don't understand?
get down!!
it's your turn!
throw it!
stairs!
roof!
wait! there's people down there!
get it out of here!
it's a bomb.
we can help you. i'm a detective in hong kong.
then you know i'm not walking away from this case.
is this a payoff?
five years ago?! that's right before he left the force.
and hu li killed him for the plates.
we both know you would never take a bullet for someone else.
she never even looked at you.
i am not third world ugly. women like me, they think i'm cute. like snoopy.
that's a good twisting tiger -- where did you learn that?
the praying mantis school, in bejing?
baby duck?
do you still have the bills?
are you okay?
she saved our lives.
shhh, my head hurts.
why did you help me?
i'm not used to having a partner.
well we're not friends.
fine with me.
see you in the next world.
fine.
yes. we have heaven.
what's a chinese heaven?
i think we should stop talking.
no.
mind your own business.
there was no sex. she was very traditional. we were waiting until we were married.
no mu-shu.
no kung pao chicken. never.
once in a while, steamed dumplings. but only when she was drunk.
tell me the truth, carter. do you think i have a good voice?
forget it. it doesn't matter.
i knew it. what does she know. you want me to sing something?
they'll probably torture us first, shock our privates, then put two bullets in our eyes and one in the back of the head.
did you happen to see the most beautiful girl in the world. and if you did, was she crying, crying. hey!
it's focus. every opponent has a weak spot. you ignore everything around you, and put all your energy into one perfect strike.
who's benjamin?
a chinese man discovered electricity.
yes he did. he also invented the bicycle.
we're slowing down. this must be it.
you've been a good friend, james carter.
you could never kick my ass. you mama's boy.
this way. i see some lights.
vegas.
red dragon.
let's go.
what is mac out?
yes. we have lots of big men chasing us.
i own the place.
buddha is the symbol of luck and good fortune.
carter. here comes the rich white man.
excuse me?
what's going on?
last time you needed my help i ended up in the back of a truck.
just trying to make it look real.
why don't you go get them?
how do i know i can trust you?
no. but i'll help you.
dancing?
it was isabella. she says the plates are in the soft count room.
no. i'm going to find out.
try to keep them busy for five minutes.
hi. how's it going? you guys have change for a twenty?
mmmmmm!!!!
bomb!!!
i did!
yes i did. i said mmmmmm!
ricky tan is alive.
we have to get to the penthouse.
carter.
are you okay?
i didn't know which side you were on.
put the plates down.
put the plates down. it's over.
if you reach for that gun, i'm going to kill you.
it's worth it to me.
i can't believe i flew ten-thousand miles for this shit!!
no problem.
she's going home to new york. i need some ice.
yes.
i guess so. thank you, carter.
carter, wait. there's something i want you to have.
it's okay. i can finally let it go.
what is this?
no, carter. i can't take this.
this money is evidence.
i always wanted to go to madison square garden. see the knicks play.
first class.
a little mu-shu.
amen to that, brother.
