Kiss Of The Dragon Page #4

- A second ago you couldn't wait to get rid of me.

- You're my proof.

I will take you to the embassy,

and you will tell them everything.

No, no. I'm in deep enough.

I'm not gonna be your witness.

You're the only one who can save me.

Don't you listen?

Richard has my daughter.

But you don't think about that,

do you? No!

You don't think about what's gonna

happen to her, what's gonna happen to me.

Of course not! You only think of your job.

That's all that matters to you, because that's

all you've got in your crummy cop's life.

You take Richard down, and it's just

gonna leave a space for another bastard,

one who we pray will be less of

a bastard than the one before him.

And that's reality!

Maybe it's not your reality,

but it's my reality every day, 24-7.

And there's nothing you or anybody else

can do to change that.

Wait.

If I get your daughter back,

will you help me?

I'm-- I'm-- I'm really screwed this time.

My government will protect you.

They will give you safely away.

Away where? To China?

I mean, I like the chips, but no, thank you.

Listen to me.

I know you've had some bad experiences

trusting people.

But if I gave you my word,

you will be safe.

Yes, Minister.

We're doing all we can, Minister.

But we are not magicians who can pull

killers out of hats like they're rabbits,

especially one who is trained like this.

I'm just a cop trying to do his job. Yes.

I'll call you back.

Richard! My God, Richard!

You're not gonna believe this.

Try me.

I-- This crazy little Chinese--

Lupo picked the perfects pot,

except its melled like shrimps.

And how can I get any clients

when I smell like a shrimp?

So anyway, I was trying to work,

and Max and Lupo come along.

They went into the shop,

and the next thing I know,

the little f***er goes nuts,

you know, and-and-- I mean--

Max tried to protect me,

and the Chinese guy killed both of them.

I believe you.

And then?

And then he takes me as a hostage.

He made me carry this stuff, and he

dragged me all the way up to that church--

You know, the big church

on the top of the hill?

And then-- You know-- And he made me...

help him do these things-- these weird

things with incense and pajamas.

- And everytime I tried to run--

- He stopped you?

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know-- You know those movies...

with that Chinese guy who's always

kicking and screaming all the time and--

- He used kung fu on you?

- Yeah. Yeah.

He did. Look.

Wow.

And then he made me go to this

restaurant while he ate this goop...

with weird things in it, you know,

like snails and frogs' legs and--

That is when you escaped

out of the bathroom window?

- When he fell asleep.

- In the restaurant?

He-- Yeah.

Richard.

Please, don't-- don't do that.

Do you think he is still there

in the restaurant?

Well, he drank a whole lot ofbeers.

That's why I came here.

- 'Cause I thought if I helped you--

- What?

I could show you where he is.

- You're not too tired?

- Oh, yeah, for sure.

I could probably sleep for a week.

But, I don't know. I--

You want me to come?

I don't know. What do you think?

I think... I should come.

I think you should stay.

Okay. He's-- He's at

the Mandarin in Belville.

But-- But I'll do whatever you want,

though. I mean, I just--

I want you to trust me.

I trust you.

Ow! Wait. Wait.

And if I discover I can't,

I know where to find you.

What about my daughter?

She's safe,just like her mother.

Watch her.

So, what's a girl gotta do

to get fed around here?

Okay. Okay.

Wait a minute. What do you think I am,

the village idiot?

No. First you go get mysandwich,

and then I give you your dessert.

Hello?

Hello?

- Don't do that!

- You get it?

No, I always walk around handcuffed to

a steam pipe with a turtle for company.

So you didn't get it.

Is it just you, or do all cops

lack a basic sense of humor?

Now will you help?

Relax your arm.

I can't relax it anymore.

Come on, you know about handcuffs.

- You sure you got all of them?

- The deal was I get you all the tapes in his office.

Are you gonna live up to your end

of the bargain or what?

Are you listening? Hello!

- No, no. No needles.

- No needles. No.

- How did you do that?

- Chinese magic.

- Let's go to the embassy.

- No.

- First we get my daughter.

- No, first the embassy, then I get your daughter.

Bullshit. I'm not gonna sit someplace

safe while my kid's life's in danger,

so forget it!

Which way?

She escaped?

What do you mean she escaped?

How could she escape?

It's here.

See you around.

What is this place?

It's an orphanage.

- Do you mind?

Oh, no.

Sh*t.

Oh, come on.

There it is.

Section "B," bed 13.

Okay.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I guess I'm kinda nervous.

I mean, I haven't seen her in almost a year.

Then don't make her wait.

Go.

- Are you okay?

- I don't think so.

Somebody help me!

Here, sweetie.

That's for boys.

Don't you have any Barbies?

All my Barbies are working.

I had a turtle,

but your mother took it.

When am I going to see my mommy?

Soon, darling.

Very soon.

My daughter?

Calm down. Everything's gonna be okay.

But he has my daughter.

And we have them.

Don't worry. Everything's gonna be fine.

No. You don't understand.

My life is not some fairy tale.

My life is hell.

Richard is the devil,

and he has my daughter,

and he's gonna kill her,

and then he's gonna kill me.

And then he's gonna find a way

to get out ofit clean.

You're wrong. They will arrest him,

and they'll take care of you and your daughter.

"They"? "They"?

I don't give a sh*t about them.

I don't trust them.

I trusted you.

For the first time in--

God, I don't know, forever--

I don't know why I trust someone.

You promised you'd take care of her.

Yes.

You're tired. I think you should sleep.

- Hello?

- I want the child.

- I want the cassette.

- I gave the cassette to my government.

- They will know what to do with it.

- Bad move,Johnny Boy.

Now that the kid has no value,

what am I going to do with her?

She's too young to work.

Maybe not.

- What do you think?

- I think you should come to the window.

Now I know where you are. I'm coming up.

He's coming up.

Hey, monsieur--

Sound the alert!

Fight!

Come on! Come on! Get those out!

Move it!Move it! This is not a drill!

Go now!

Ah,Johnny,Johnny,

I'm disappointed in you.

Coming to Paris for the first time,

and instead of enjoying yourself,

you're doing all this useless running around.

- I don't like to get bored.

- Me either.

And right now I'm finding you very boring!

Wait!

You're making a big mistake.

- Ah, really?

- In the second...

it takes for you to kill her,

I will have all the time I need to kill you.

I got you.

Yes, you did,

but I also got you.

Isabel?

I'm a friend of your mom.

Can you wait outside?

Okay.

Good-bye, mister.

What did you do to me?

I put a needle in your neck.

- That's it?

- In a certain point, very forbidden.

It's called "The Kiss of the Dragon."

Kiss my ass!
