The Protector Page #4

No, no, no!

You-- you're the cause of this.

You killed my father!

No, l didn't kill your father.

Harold Ko killed your father.

l hate you, I hate you!

lf you hate me, then you must hate Ko.

Help me find him.

Help me destroy the man

who killed your father.

Father!

My father told me to help you.

Even though he's dead,

I must obey.

The fortune teIler was a friend

of my father's.

lf my father found out anything,

the fortune teller will know.

You look for a girI

that was taken from New York by Mr. Ko.

How do you know?

The I Ching tells all.

Nothing is hidden.

There has been war.

Between Ko and Shapiro?

Yes, but the war is over.

A man has come across the water

to make peace.

Benny Garucci.

Yes.

My people tell me

a pact wiIl be made tomorrow night.

And the girl will be returned.

Where's the girI?

l do not know.

But you must not Iook for her.

The I Ching is not good.

I see only danger,

death, and betrayal.

Thanks.

Wait a minute.

l must say a prayer for my father

and consult the I Ching.

What do your sticks say?

ls the fortune teller right?

l ask the questions, Billy.

But I never read the answers.

[speaking Chinese]

l trust you found the girl weIl?

Yes, sir, just as you promised.

[sighs]

When Mr. Shapiro refused to pay

for my last shipment,

l Iost much face.

l trust it wilI never happen again.

lt was a simple misunderstanding, sir.

Be assured that Mr. Shapiro remains

your faithful friend and partner.

He wishes no ill feeling towards you.

l'm glad to hear this.

But Mr. Shapiro is worried.

Those two cops from New York,

they're getting too close

to our operation.

Calm your fears.

The girl shouId be returned

to you tonight.

As for those two poIice officers,

they cause me great dishonor.

They will be taken care of.

Garucci went to this big container

shipyard before he went to see Ko.

Now, it's my guess

he was checking on the girl

before arranging

an exchange with the big man.

The fortune teIler said the exchange

will be made tonight.

So, we have to break in and get

the girl out before that can happen.

[Stan] Tall order, man.

The rumors I hear say

the place is Ko's drug factory.

lt'll be heavily guarded.

Maybe we should calI Whitehead, Billy.

HoId it.

We're not sure it's the drug factory.

We're not sure Laura Shapiro's there.

lf we're wrong,

Whitehead will ship us home.

l wiIl go with you.

That's a great idea.

l can handle myself in a fight.

[Stan] We know you can, Soo Ling.

But someone has to stay behind

just in case we're caught.

That's your job.

He's right, honey.

Now, if you don't hear from us

three hours after we hit the place,

you call Whitehead, understand?

Call.

Don't worry, Soo Ling,

I'll go with them.

You have experience

in these kind of things?

Yeah, you might say that.

Seals, U.S. Navy.

As a matter of fact, I just happen

to have some of my old gear with me.

lt might just come in handy.

[Garoni] What the f*** is that?

I got that from an Israeli

friend of mine.

That's a portable, six-shot,

20mm cannon.

l'Il be a son of a b*tch.

I ain't never seen anything like that.

Have you, Billy?

No.

The entrance is

about four containers in.

lt's a gray door.

About four containers on top of that

there's an air duct

connected to an air conditioner--

that's how we go in.

- All right?

- AlI right.

- Let's do it.

- Okay.

Okay, all signed out.

You wait here.

l'Il bring down Laura Shapiro.

She better be all right.

[distant voices]

[speaking Chinese]

- l'lI go first.

- I'lI be right behind you, Billy boy.

- You got my back, Jones?

- I got it.

AIl right, let's go.

[speaks Chinese]

Drop your guns.

Billy!

Billy.

[gasps]

I told you the Japanese make

great bullet-proof vests.

Let's get those f***ers!

Everybody out!

We're gonna blow this joint, let's go!

Come on, out!

I taIk to myself here?

Go!

- Come on, let's go!

- Move it, go!

Hold it!

Up, up, up!

The guard has the key.

Give me the key

or I'll blow your dick off!

Give me the key!

What's the matter, you never seen

four naked broads before?

Let's go!

- Good to see you again, Laura.

- Hell of a way to get a date.

That's very funny.

Got it?

The other one!

[speaking Chinese]

[clamor]

- What the f***'s going on?

- They're gonna blow the lab up.

- Got it.

- You got it?

- You got it, almost ready?

- Yeah.

Come on, kid, let's go,

we're on count.

- Okay, l'm ready.

- Let's go!

- With me?

- Yes, sir.

This sucker's got keys.

Come on, let's roll it.

Let's get the f--

Where's Laura Shapiro?

The man asked you a question.

F*** you.

Surely you know

we can make you talk.

l got news for you Ko,

you're finished, you're already dead

and you don't know it yet.

This is aIl so unnecessary.

Enjoy yourself, Benny.

[Garoni groans]

[teIephone rings]

HelIo?

This is Billy Wong.

You've got a problem, Ko.

I've got a problem?

lf you don't give me Garoni,

l'm not reIeasing

Laura Shapiro to anyone.

If you kill Garoni, she disappears.

l'm surprised.

l had no idea

your partner's life

meant so much to you.

I believe we can do business,

Mr. Wong.

Shall we say, in my shipping yard?

In two hours.

l'Il be there.

[dog barks in distance]

Stan will take you to Whitehead.

He wiIl get you home.

Look, I don't mind staying in hiding

until you can get Garoni back.

That's okay.

Get Laura to Whitehead.

TelI him to have

as many men as possible

at Ko's shipyard at exactly 7 am.

lf he's late,

there's going to be lots

of their bodies to pick up.

You're not going

in there alone, are you?

Yeah, this is between me,

Benny Garucci, and Harold Ko.

[speaking Chinese]

[speaks Chinese]

[loud clunk]

Mr. Wong.

How nice to see you.

Where's Garoni?

Where's Laura Shapiro?

My partner first.

But of course.

You bastard.

I've lived up to my part

of the bargain, Mr. Wong.

Now, where is the girl?

She's safe.

[male] She certainly is.

[Billy] Whitehead.

l warned you, Wong.

Mr. Ko is a very infIuential man

in Hong Kong.

You son of a b*tch.

Oh, yes, but a well paid one.

Well, it seems that this affair

wiIl come to a happy ending after alI.

There onIy remains

one last piece of entertainment.

[yells]

Come on, big boy.

You son of a b*tch!

Come on.

Billy.

[motor buzzes]

[howls]

[speaking Chinese]

Soo Ling, you help Laura,

I'lI take care of Garoni.

[male] Going somewhere,

Superintendent?

Start the engine.

Start the engine.

Stop him, stop him.

Get me out of here.

No.

[yells]

Run him down.

Sh*t.

[Garoni] Jesus Christ.

Give me that f***in' thing.

Give it to me, come on.

Come on!

[yells]

Oh.

[yells]

[gun fires]

[yells]

[sea gulls cry]

[male] In recognition of service

above and beyond the call of duty,

which resulted in the forfeiture

of over 2,000 lbs. of illicit drugs

on route from Hong Kong to New York,

the Police Department

of the City of New York

is proud to bestow

it's departmental Medal of Honor

on officers Wong and Garoni.

[applause]
