We'll take it.

Locate the Continental.

-Is it the right one?

-I don't know.

We're going east and China's east.

-China's west too.

-We can't divide.

Think positive!

You crossed two lanes!

You see him?

Watch the road!

I'd give my right arm for a siren!

Why'd they take the Hongs?

Maybe they're shaking them down

for more money.

Hong's uncle paid already.

He got in touch with his uncle.

He left him a message.

It's how they know where I live.

There's the son of a b*tch right there!

Bastards left us to burn!

I want to talk with them.

You don't have any guns!

Get me near this trailer.

But you're driving!

No, you're driving!

There's cruise control.

Just steer!

Why make sh*t complicated?

Closer. Don't be shy.

Get up there!

Closer! Closer!

That's it!

Here, a**hole!

Come in!

I need to ask you something.

Where's the Hongs?

Where's the Hongs?

Where are they?

Get him!

Highway Patrol, this is William-356,

southbound on highway!

Officer in trouble!

Oversized trailer.

LAPD! Pull over! LAPD!

LAPD! Pull over!

Pull over! See that?!

Right! F*** you!

I got an ass with a phony badge

trying to pull me over!

Get away from my boy!

Son of a b*tch!

I got you!

Get in here!

Get the f*** in here!

Ready?

-Welcome back.

-What a drag!

-Thanks, Rog.

-And the Hongs?

We'll ask the other guy. Go!

Pull over! Son of a b*tch!

Keep your hands inside, then!

Out of the way!

Wait! There he is!

Keep going!

We're gaining!

I got him!

You okay?

Yeah, I think

my heart's still beating.

Maybe a little too close.

You are now entering an

international holding area.

Please have proper documentation ready.

General.

Are you armed?

When will you have

the money for their release?

Very soon.

Brother...it's been a long time.

It'll be our time again soon.

America has many laws.

But written by men.

Money can change everything.

-Sorry about your loss.

-Thank you.

How's my hero?

He's a little sad,

talking about his mom and dad.

Here's Butters.

How's it going?

Why are you here?

I heard it on the radio.

I'm sorry about your house.

This is Detective....

Butters.

Trish, my wife.

Nick, Carrie...

...Rianne.

Everybody okay?

You know who did this?

It was Benny.

Leo!

-You got a phone?

-The little Fonzie guy?

That's him.

-You be okay?

-We'll be all right.

Call me.

He's there?

We'll be right there.

-Butters, can you drive us?

-Yeah, let's do it.

Leo's got him at the dentist.

Let's go!

Sit down.

Captain Murtaugh...

...I know this is a bad time...

...but there's something

you need to know about me.

I think I know what it is.

You do?

It's okay.

It is?

People have the right to do

what makes them happy.

Just don't expect me to like it.

I know this must be hard for you.

It's impossible for me!

I hoped we'd get together

for the holidays, say Christmas.

Why should we get together

and see each other on Christmas?

-I'm trying to reach out.

-Reach somewhere else!

Do what you want,

but leave me out of it.

-I got it.

-I don't want to hear about it.

Not a word.

Why you grinning?

Think about how we can talk to Benny.

I got it all worked out.

What's the matter?

My ass hurts.

My tooth!

Is this a dentist or proctologist?

-Please be quiet.

-I'm trying! I'm in pain!

Why don't you go see

your own dentist?

My dentist's in Detroit or I'd go!

-Oh, brother!

-Oh, brother?! Get the dentist!

I'm sorry to bother you.

It's an emergency.

A man walked in off the street.

He's in a lot of pain.

You better come.

Okay, you can come in now!

-Leo can pull this off?

-Leo's got a B.S. in B.S.

Coast is clear.

Talk to the hand!

One second.

-Wait a minute.

-Let me do my job!

You hurt me, I'll stick

an egg roll up your ass.

Don't be alarmed.

It's only a drill.

Don't say a word.

Shut up.

Where are the Hongs?

Open wide and tell me.

I don't know any Hongs.

Their uncle paid you

to get them out of China.

More smuggling?

We went through that.

We're going through it again.

I have nothing to say.

These look very interesting.

You're not going to use it.

You won't shoot me.

-You're lousy cops.

-We're good cops.

This will settle him down.

Breathe, Uncle Benny.

Breathe!

Crank up the nitrous.

Crank that baby up.

You said it wouldn't hurt!

I'm holding this. Go ahead.

Deep! Right down to your toes.

-He's wasted!

-Have some more.

He'll talk.

Good, breathe.

-That's me.

-That's you.

Now, where are the Hongs?

-What's renminbi mean?

-Renminbi means...

...renminbi.

-You're a funny guy.

-This guy's wasting our time.

Time!

Time for Four Fathers!

Washington, Jefferson?

Those guys?

Roosevelt?

I'm sleeping with my wife's 2 sisters.

You lucky son of a b*tch!

That's a good one.

Not so good...

...when my wife finds out.

I don't need needles!

Let's shoot his legs with Novocain...

...and watch him

try to get out of here.

What you got in your hands there?

A nut cup.

I got some big nuts!

That's nitrous...

...oxide!

Laughing gas!

We're stoned!

Murtaugh! Hurry up!

That's one funny son-in-law

you got there, Rog.

After tonight it be too late.

Too late for what?

Why'd you call him my son-in-law?

Uncle Benny? He's too old.

Buy Four Fathers back

at Four Fathers' store.

Why's he talking about his ancestors?

I don't know.

Why you call him my son-in-law?

Because I am!

I thought he was....

No, I'm....

Bloody marvelous!

Your baby is having my baby.

My baby is having his baby.

And your baby? Whoa, baby!

Whoa, baby! My baby!

What are you doing?

I couldn't stall anymore.

What happened?

Rog, look at this.

Does that hurt?

Uncle Benny,

anything happens to the Hongs...

...we'll come back

and rip you a new one.

That's two for Benny.

Bloody marvelous!

-Are you crazy?

-Why did you do that?

For keeping it from me

and letting me think....

Hit him, not me.

As soon as we find the Hongs,

we're getting into this.

Uncle.

You're all here?

All here.

What's going on?

As payment for bringing you

to America...

...your uncle's working for us.

Now finish the job.

What job?

No time to talk now.

Take them to their new homes...

...and guarantee their safety.

Then I'll finish.

Finish now or watch the others die.

Rimminy ?

A young bimbo? A jumping jiminy?

I don't know.

I can 't remember.

No, Riggs. Renminbi.

Say that again.

That's it!

You got it.

Means, "people's money. "

People's money?

What else did Benny say?

He was talking about

buying back his ancestors.

And about how tonight's...

...too late.

Mean anything to you?

No, nothing at all.

And the guy who torched my house?

Benny was afraid of him.

If Benny's scared,

he's got to be a Chinese Triad.

Those guys kill anyone

in their way.

Including cops...

...and their families.

Watch your asses!

-Thanks, Ng.

-Keep me posted.

Pick up your wife, my daughter.

-I'll get Trish, you get Lorna.

-Her and Ping.

What?

You want to get married, don't you?

No.

Yes. Yes, I do.

But if you don't want to, it's okay.
