Year of the Dragon Page #9

Goddamn you, Stanley.

I was almost killed for you.

I was raped.

And l'm not gonna die for you.

I'm not gonna be pushed

like Connie and Herbert.

They're dead because you--

- What do you mean, you were raped?

You're like poison, Stanley.

- Who did this to you?

Rape is rape.

- Who? Who raped you?

Three boys.

- Who?

Three boys.

- Who raped you?

Three Chinese boys, Stanley.

He went too far this time,

that f***ing Joey.

It didn't happen to you,

it happened to me.

You don't give a sh*t about me, do you?

l'm gonna kill him.

- Leave, Stanley.

Go away and leave me alone.

You should take a look

at yourself, Stanley.

You're selfish, you're callous...

...you're indifferent to suffering.

Your wife was right.

And you still don't get the message.

How many more people are you

gonna kill before you do?

Tracy, l--

- No, Stanley.

Just go away and leave me alone.

Don't say anything. Just go away.

Hello, Stanley.

You weren't in your office.

Hello, Lou.

Francis, l'm disappointed.

You didn't show for Connie's funeral.

- You were warned about Joey Tai.

You clean your desk,

you're going back to Brooklyn.

You've been properly served.

I'm sorry, Stash.

You were told to lay off.

If you think that l'm gonna stand

for that, you're wrong.

You don't like it, resign. You're through,

anyway. It's all over for you.

Your balls will be cut off Friday.

You're not cops, you're liars,

both of you.

You don't bend, you break, Stanley.

- Then l'll break.

You care too much, Stanley.

- How can anybody care too much?

Go on, go on.

Jesus.

Get the-- Get out here.

Get out of my sight, get the--

- Hey, what is this?

What do you want?

- You tell me...

...where the heroin is on the ship...

...and you get a head start.

- Hey. Stan White.

You cocksucker.

Joey.

Joey.

Joey.

What?.

Come on.

Come on.

Give me your gun.

For pity's sake, please.

Tell me where it is.

mercedes. Please.

There are those who liken Chinatown

to a skating pond.

on the surface, we see a lovely landscape

of snowflakes and skaters.

But underneath, the cannibal fish: gangs.

The sharks:
those who control the gangs.

And the whales:
the big bosses.

All move in deadly swarms.

These bosses, some are beginning to say,

are part of an international crime network...

...with its headquarters in Hong Kong.

Everyone denies it, but in the wake of the...

shootings of Joey Tai

and Ronnie Chang...

...questions are mushrooming

left and right.

Charges of illegal wiretapping

have been leveled by H.J. Yung...

...head of the Hun San...

...resulting in the removal

of Captain Stanley White.

one wonders if this is not a smoke screen

to distract from the main issue...

...which is what part the Hun San

plays in this Chinese opera.

Tracy Tzu, Chinatown.

okay, that's it.

Stanley. Stanley.

- Follow him, John, follow him.

Where is he going?

- He's a great cop, but he won't stop.

He won't stop. White, goddamn it.

What the hell is going on?

I'm arresting these people.

You wanna do something

they'll remember?

Book them. Be a cop again.

Stanley.

Stanley.

Stanley. oh, thank God.

You know, you were right,

I was wrong, sorry.

I'd like to be a nice guy, I would.

I just don't know how to be nice.

You're really cracked, you know that?
