Kiss Of The Dragon Page #2

Well, please, feel free to verify

our findings with your own people.

We assume that your man was

part of the conspiracy--

that he murdered Sung to

keep him from being captured...

and testifying in your courts,

as you had requested.

But that is only an assumption.

We are hoping you could give us

some background on him...

which would help us in his capture.

Inspector Liu Jian was top in

all his classes at the academy.

He received the highest training

in martial arts,

weapons and police tactics.

He's been decorated for bravery

in the line of duty six times,

been promoted five times,

and has never lost a case.

He has no wife, no children.

His only dedication is to his work.

He's our best,

which is why this is all so confusing.

Well, you know, sometimes

the best are also the worst.

It's really sad.

Any surveillance cassettes?

Destroyed as he made his escape.

Do you know if he has any relatives

in Paris? Any friends or--

He has no one.

Well, then we should be able

to wrap this up very soon.

Excuse me.

I found the emergency phone.

Oh, that's good news.

Stay by the phone.

I'll call you back later.

Inspector Richard, we are very sorry...

that the operation was sabotaged.

I will report back to my superiors

and get you any help I can.

- Thank you.

- Let me show you out.

I want them followed.

I want their phones tapped.

I want to know every move they make,

every word they speak.

There must be a sleeper he's

staying with in Paris. Find him.

So, I guess you will be staying...

longer than you expected.

A little longer.

Paris is a nice city once you get used to it.

And the French are nice people

once you get used to them.

- Are you hungry?

- No.

Family recipe. Very tasty.

Fifty men on the street,

and you can't find this son of a b*tch?

- Did you try his hotel?

- The f*** never checked in.

"The f*** never checked in."

That means he has a friend in Paris,

or family. Even better.

- Who tried Chinatown?

- Here. But it's hard to be discreet.

So put on a wig and a kimono.

I don't care how you do it.

Now, get out. Get out!

Get out! I want that little prick

in my office by tonight!

Oh,Jessica, my love.

Come to Papa. Come.

Richard, I tried.

I really tried.

I was only in the bathroom for a minute.

You know, I was getting

ready to do my part--

Getting ready to do what it was

that I said that I would--

What you wanted-- I really-- I really--

I really was ready to do what it was--

what you wanted--

Jessica.Jessica.

I know you were. I know, I know.

Coming from such a quiet place

as North Dakota,

you must have been so scared.

- Richard, I tried. I- I--

- I know.

- I tried. I really did.

- I know you did.

All that noise.

My poor little farmer's daughter.

Don't be scared.

You're the best girl I have.

And you know how I treat my best girl.

I know.

So you'll keep your promise?

Promise?

Did I make a promise?

Yes-- Yes. You said that

if I did it one more time,

that you would let me--

let me have my daughter back.

- You said that you'd help me

get the papers to get her out.

- Did I say that?

- Yes.

- Did I say that, Max?

Oh, yes, you did.

Well, there you go. Two to one.

I guess you're right. So I'll have

to let you go,you and your precious.

Do you realize how much I must trust you

to let you go just like that?

With everything you know?

Everything you've seen?

One phone call from you,

one word, and I'd be locked up

for the rest of my life!

I'd never do that!

I'd never give you up, ever!

I know that. If I didn't

trust you, would I let you go?

- What is he doing?

- I don't know. What are you doing, Max?

- I'm preparing a fix.

- He's preparing a fix. Do you want a taste?

Richard, I told you I quit. You know I quit.

I don't want it anymore! I quit!

You don't tell me when

you're gonna quit! I tell you!

You don't tell me what you want! I tell you!

How long will it take for a f***ing junkie

like you to betray me for a lousy fix?

I won't betray you! Please, don't!

"I won't betray you! Please, don't!"

Put her back to work.

Come on. Come on.

Get the f*** out. Come on.

Move your f***in' ass.

Get to work, you f***in' animals!

You cock sucking pigs.

Youplaymah-jongg?

A little.

I love mah-jongg.

Keeps the mind sharp.

It's hard to find good players around here.

That's why I play by myself.

This way, I always win.

This way, I always win.

B*tch!

I'm gone for five minutes,

and you think you can park

your skinny ass in my spot?

F*** off! You want some more?

She--

She broke my nose!

Come on! Look at you!

I haven't been home for 15 years.

That's a long time.

- You stupid piece of sh*t.

- I have seven grandchildren.

You are a f***ing dog.

All right?

Get back to work.

And one big girl 14 years of age.

Almost a woman now.

She wants to come to Paris.

She goes to university.

Hey! Go away! Go away!

- Please.

- You don't know these women.

They say they want to use the bathroom

to pee, and next thing they're shooting up.

She only hurts herself.

Please, don't draw attention.

Excuse me.

- Can I use your toilet?

- No.

Oh, please. I just--

I only have to pee. I won't be long.

No!

Okay.

Wait!

What are you doing?

Well, if you're gonna treat me

like a dog, I'm gonna act like a dog.

- I'm gonna pee right here.

- Stop!

Okay.

There.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

- But nothing else.

- I'm not gonna do anything else, I promise.

- Do you wanna check?

- No.

- Just hurry.

- I'm sorry to have to force you to.

It's just I have got to go so bad. I really--

- I'm only-- I'm only gonna be a minute.

- Okay.

I'm Lo, the chef. I came for my order.

Oh! That feels so good.

- How many?

- Uh, one, two,

uh, three, four--

- I owe--

- Don't worry about paying.

Come back later, okay?

Come back later. Okay.

Thank you. Thank you.

Miss, you have to finish now.

Minute's up.

You have to leave!

Miss?

Miss? Please.

Miss?

- I slept long?

- Only a minute.

Oh, that's good.

I've gotta get back to work.

Every 15 minutes they come by in a

f***in' car, and if I'm not out there--

It's just that I'm so tired.

They gave me this shot and--

Oh, my God.

Are you gonna finish this?

- This is pretty good.

Did you make this yourself?

- Yes.

- Is that what you do, then? You cook, huh?

- No.

- But you make these chips, right?

- My uncle does.

I love those chips. Do you mind?

I love the pink ones.

My daughter loves the blue ones.

That's her favorite color.

Miss, you really have to go now.

Delicious. I'm sorry.

- It's not every day I get to eat

in a Chinese restaurant.

- Here.

One for you

and one for your daughter.

Oh, my God. This is so nice.

You're the first person that's been

kind to me since I've been in Paris.

Look, I- I-- I don't like

to take things from people.

Usually I like to pay my own way, so...

maybe later on, if you wanna, you know--

- No charge?

- No. Thank you.

I don't have any other way to repay you.

- Don't worry.
