"KUNG FU BROTHER" "Subrip:" "Pix" "Jack, we are ready." "Okay." "Don't you think the meat is done?" "Just can't give that E. Coli a chance, you know?" "I still see some pink." "I'm goin' in to watch the game." "No, no, no, don't go in now, Pop, you promised." "Come on." "Surprise!" "Now everyone knows my age." "Hey, what are y'all talkin' about?" "You." "You know, it's amazing how much you look like your mother." "Yeah, well I may look like Mom, but I am your chip, Pop." "Son, I'm talkin' about your mother and me." "Hey, Dad, Mom didn't leave you, she died." "How can I forget?" "Well that was touching." "What?" "You were just crying." "Well I had to do somethin' to get in here." "It's the 9th inning!" "This is Karen Takoni live at the corner of 3rd and San Pedro where yet another brutal killing has taken place." "She's back." "Karen." "Does he know?" "No, I don't think he knows." "Dad." "Listen, I'm sorry." "I guess I'm just still not over Karen." "Group hug." "Yeah?" "Yeah?" "Yeah, on my way." "What's up?" "They found your missing millionaire." "Where?" "At the Swagman Hotel in Thai Town." "Chief wants to see me." "I'll meet you at the scene." "What you got, Henry?" "Gary Figomoto, 36 year old Asian male." "Been missin' for over four weeks." "Body found decapitated." "Girlfriend was the only witness." "But she's so coked up." "Hotel manager says he rarely saw the victim except for at night." "Room's paid up six months in advance." "Well there goes our kidnap for ransom theory." "If I lived in Bel Air, why would I check into a dump like this?" "Obviously he didn't wanna be seen with Cinderella there." "For six months?" "She ain't that ugly." "He wasn't missing, he was hiding." "He knew the killer." "Murder weapon?" "Still looking, but whatever it was, it was sharp." "Well it's your blood." "So we meet again." "It's called a." "An ancient japanese symbol of power." "Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to someone." "This is Nathan Nett." "He's on loan from the government of Thailand." "I've been tracking these murderers for quite some time." "Really?" "Listen." "Nathan's family took me in back in '69 when I was stationed in Bangkok." "I owe him." "Now, I know you don't like outsiders but he's only here to help." "And right now any little help will do." "And I don't have to mention how it rolls." "Down hill." "How far up this time?" "The governor." "Share all pertinent info with Agent Nett and treat him with the utmost professional courtesy." "Or I swear to God, I'll suspend both of you before you can say "without pay."" "But, Dad..." "Captain!" "Welcome aboard." "Well, Agent Nett is it?" "You can call me Nathan." "Well, Nathan, you can call me Detective Emerson." "Fine." "So, what do you know about these murderers?" "How many others have there been?" "So far we got no suspects." "One witness." "Well, no witness." "No motives, not even a single fingerprint." "And we're fresh out of DNA." "Thus far the only connection are these stars and the fact that all the victims are Asian." "So what's this gotta do with Thailand?" "It's classified." "Police say they have no suspects to what is now being dubbed as" "The Weirding Murders." "Are you okay?" "Yes, yeah, yeah." "Let's go again." "All right, ready when you ready." "I need to go to the Asaka Martial Arts School in the Palisades as soon as possible." "Here's the address." "What's up there?" "There's a man there by the name of Hirohito Fujimoto." "If we get there in time, he may be able to help us." ""Help," what you, a backup singer with the Beatles now?" ""Fujimoto," so where have I heard that name?" "He's very important to this case." "Yo, I'm hungry, you hungry?" "Let's eat, man." "We really must hurry." "Listen, Mr. Miyagi can wait." "When Jack's gotta eat, Jack's gotta eat." "Yo!" "So, Nathan, what kinda cop are you in Thailand?" "Good afternoon, what can I get for you?" "Yeah, gimme a Number Two with cheese, extra ketchup, extra mayo, cut in half." "Taco salad, no meat, no cheese, large cup of water." "Might as well order somethin', man." "It's gonna be a while before we get a chance to eat again." "I'll have a large milk and an apple." "Listen, Einstein, this is a burger joint." "Fast food." "They don't got milk and they don't got apples." "I don't eat your american fast food." "What's my total?" "One moment, please." "So, Nathan, man, how come you don't eat fast food?" "Do you know the cholesterol level in just those fries alone?" "What about that Double Beef 'N' Cheese?" "All that stuff does is clog up your arteries and slows down your metabolism." "That's how people become fat." "First of all, I'm not fat, I'm slightly overweight." "You can just kiss my grits." "Yo, supersize that Number Two for me!" "That'll be 14.72 at the 2nd window." "This is so good." "Listen to them arteries hardening'." "Feel that metabolism bein' lubricated." "Why are we still here?" "Because we haven't left." "So, Nathan, man, what kind of cop are you in Thailand?" "Well it's the equivalent of the FBI." "You know, I really thought about goin' federal." "Me, too, man, but all that physical training'." "Please." "So, Nathan, what's so classified?" "Well the man you're after is no ordinary killer." "Well we ain't ordinary cops." "Well, I'm kinda ordinary." "See, ordinary ain't gonna cut it for the feds, man, 'cause you gotta be, like, cool." "FBI!" "FBI." "F-B-I." "Can we go now?" "First, I gotta go release some hostages." "Where are you goin'?" "Classified." "Where's he goin'?" "Take a poop." "Can you hurry up?" "No, no, no, listen, come on, man." "When Nick's gotta go, Nick's gotta go." "Besides, ain't nothin' in the world more important than takin' a good poop." "Did you see that?" "I got a possible 2-11 at a Stop 'N' Go Minmart on the corner of 105 and Abaline." "Open the register!" "No!" "Open the register!" "Aren't you gonna do somethin'?" "First of all, I'm still hungry." "Second, I just did." "Aren't you gonna do something else?" "Come on, go, go!" "Open this register!" "Listen I work for the LAPD." "You know what that stands for?" "Leave the African People Dead." "When them white cops show up, all they see is a black man with a gun." "So unless I hear shots fired." "Open the register!" "No, no, no, no open." "Shots fired, shots fired at 2-11, Stop 'N' Go Minimart on the corner of 105 and Abaline." "Open the damn register!" "No, no, no open!" "You can't touch that, no open!" "What?" "Open the register!" "Open this register!" "Open the register!" "No, no, no!" "Where's the fuckin' money?" "James, James, I got the money, let's go!" "Police!" "Freeze!" "Don't even think about it, put it down." "Put it down." "Slowly." "All right, stand up, turn around, turn around!" "Put your hands behind your back." "Slowly!" "Lady, I'm a cop, put that gun down!" "I'm here to help you!" "Now hold on there a minute, cowboy." "Now I'm a cop." "Now you don't wanna shoot a cop." "Why don't we fight it out?" "You and me, man to man." "Toe to toe." "What you say, cowboy?" "I've always wanted to kick a cop's ass." "I got this." "This milk is way past its expiration date." "I don't work here." "Now this looks good." "You're about a stupid SOB." "I don't work here." "Listen, I'm a cop." "You don't wanna shoot a cop." "Why don't you and I just fight it out?" "Toe to toe." "What do you say, cowgirl?" "No thanks, I just ate." "Toe to toe?" "You and me." "You got the right to shut the fuck up!" "And if you say anything about this down at the department, I'll kill ya." "You know you made me bump my head?" "What happened here?" "She snuck up behind me and hit me in the head on a 1-11 gone bad and then, you know, Nathan, we gotta do somethin'." "He, he got all in the way and everything." "But I made the arrest by myself." "So what's up at the Osaki School?" "What, what are you doin'?" "What are you doin'?" "What are you doin'?" "Guys, this is urgent." "Urgent." "I mean, what exactly is "urgent."" "Urgent, the calling for immediate attention." "Immediate attention with haste, isn't it?" "You really did graduate." "Told ya." "Guys, can we hurry up?" "I get it." "This is just cereal to you." "But Samoto's on a quest." "Samoto?" "Who's Samoto?" "Come on, Nathan, lips don't fail me now." "All right, what I'm about to tell you guys is absolutely classified." "I get it, so this is the part where you say," ""I can tell you, but then I'll have to kill ya."" "The killer name is Samoto Kanami." "Samoto Kanami, how do you spell Kanami?" "K-E-Nami, shit, I don't know, man." "I flunked math." "All cars in the vicinity of Olympic and Broadway, we have a 197 reported at the Osaki Martial Arts School." "12-Henry-6 responding." "You think you can get any prints off this?" "Yeah, shouldn't be a problem." "There's some fresh ones around inside there." "Well, let's hope they're our guys." "Keep dusting." "Ancient japanese symbol of power." "Get everything out as soon as you can." "We got hardly anything to go on here." "What were you two doin' dickin' around a minimart?" "We just had to get..." "Listen." "Has Nathan shared any pertinent info with you yet?" "Well, he." "Where is Nathan?" "I want a tight perimeter around this building now!" "You two, lock down." "The four of you check it out." "Jesus, you nearly scared the piss outta me!" "Jesus!" "No!" "No!" "Dad!" "Jesus." "Jesus, get an ambulance!" "God, Dad." "Secure this area!" "Get an ambulance!" "We'll get you outta here." "It's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay." "Excuse me." "I'm very sorry." "Is there not a decent bone left in your body?" "Despite what you think," "I loved and respected him." "He was a good man." "Respected him to the point where you splattered his body all over the news?" "It's the beast." "And then you leave Nick standing at the altar." "Nathan Nett boarded a plane out of Mexico this morning." "This will help you find him." "I'm sure everything will work out." "I'm sure, too, thank you." "Thank you for coming out." "Your father was a good man and a damned good cop." "It's simple, like he wanted." "Thank you for understanding, sir." "I think you two should take some time off." "Thank you, sir, that won't be necessary." "My brother and I would like some time off to grieve, sir." "Shall we say indefinite?" "Definitely, sir." "It is hot." "Man, I feel like a cup of McDonald's coffee." "You want taxi?" "Hell yeah I want taxi, with ice." "Hey, be careful with that." "That's real imitation Gucci." "Man, what's this?" "Taxi." "It's not gonna fit." "Taxi." "Hell nah, man, I ain't gettin' into no tricycle." "Nick, just listen, okay?" "You can call it intuition." "But I know how these foreign countries work." "So you just, just sit back and let me ask all the questions." "I got this." "Why you here?" "It's obvious you had the spicy onions." "Dude, your breath stink." "I mean, I bet when you walk past toothpaste, it trembles." "That's enough." "Why'd you do it?" "I didn't." "Before my father died, he spoke your name." "That may be so, but I never would've killed my own father." "During the Vietnam conflict, my mother fell in love with a young GI." "He didn't know she was pregnant." "She didn't know he was TDY." "What's TDY?" "Temporary duty assignment." "He never knew about me and I never knew about him." "And even though I never met him," "I always loved him and I never would've killed him." "That's very touching but I lost my father and if you think I traveled halfway around the world just to hear a pretty speech." "This is personal." "You bet your ass it is." "All this may be tragic but it still proves nothing." "Come with me." "You two wait right here." "And don't touch anything." "He said don't touch anything." "Yo, Pops." "Yo, Pops." "Yo, you know Nathan, black guy about, little taller than you." "In your house, man." "I mean, I hope you know him." "Might have your TV by now." "And he knocked down your swords, too." "So Papa was a rollin' stone with jungle fever." "He spoke to me of his pain, of his guilt, of your mom's depression when she found out." "Of his failure of being a man." "His failure of his relationship with his son." "He made me swear to never say anything." "Why couldn't he just talk to me?" "He tried, Nick." "Many times, he tried." "Well not hard enough it seems." "Can you all see that we've been cheated?" "My mom, your mom." "What Pops did was wrong, and I hate him for it." "Come with me." "Someplace safe." "We've lost many in this battle, I hate to lose you, too." "You two wait right here." "Yeah right." "Look, here we play by my rules." "I call the shots." "Where are we goin'?" "To a club." "Damn!" "Um, um, um, hey!" "This what I'm talkin' 'bout!" "You act like you've never seen a woman before." "Well I ain't never seen her before." "And I ain't never seen her." "And I just ran into that one over there." "Yeah, um!" "Well make yourselves comfortable." "I need to go talk to somebody." "Damn!" "Ho, damn!" "Girl, you so fine, just give me one number and I'll pick out the other six." "I think she likes me." "Yeah, you and all your dead presidents." "Can I get you a drink?" "Yes you can, I'm havin' a Diet Coke and he's drinkin' Hatorade." "Yes." "Damn!" "Bend over, pick it up." "This isn't funny." "Don't you love me?" "No, I don't love you." "Okay, bye." "Still breaking' hearts." "Whatever." "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "How low can you go?" "What'd you find out?" "Nothing." "Can we go?" "Say, baby, what's your name?" "Baby." "Well that's easy." "Okay, here." "Not this one, I'm gonna give you the big one." "Okay, the big one." "Here, that's the big one right there." "There you go." "I gots to go." "Nothing yet, but the killer is here." "I'll have more by deadline." "Local to network." "Excuse me." "Get your feet off my photos and off my desk." "I'm so..." "Yeah, I know." "Sorry." "Damn, y'all let anybody in this country." "What are you doing here?" "Same reason you're here." "Is she with you?" "No!" "No!" "You know, you are incredible." "After all that you've done." "After all that I've done?" "If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't even be here." "How you figure?" "I gave you the file on Nathan." "Didn't Jack tell you?" "Didn't you tell him?" "Intuition my ass!" "Okay, so what?" "So you helped out a little bit, so what?" "You're not wanted here." "If you expect to catch this killer, you need me." "This man is a Weirding warrior, a trained assassin." "Weirding warrior?" "Yeah, they were a secret society of japanese that migrated throughout Asia and America after World War II." "Weirding, weirding, weirding?" "Weirding murders?" "Weirding murderers." "How did you find out about this?" "On the Internet." "I just don't know what the scrolls are." "Scrolls?" "Yes, scrolls, don't you know?" "This guy's not killing out of vengeance, he's also after these so-called sacred scrolls." "That's enough." "No, please continue!" "No." "What else are you not tellin' us?" "Samoto's after the Kuji Den-dro scrolls." "The Cujo Benji what?" "The Kuji Den-dro scrolls." "What is so special about these scrolls?" "These scrolls hold thousands of years of laws and secrets of the Weirding clan." "They're a Weirding warrior's birthright." "They're said to have been authored even before the birth of Christ." "And they're like blueprints detailing the flawless subtraction of life." "A how-to book of murder." "Pure, sacred convictions so intense became sacred." "But I've yet to find out exactly how many scrolls there are." "I've read that there are six scrolls, but I've only found reference to four." "You've been holdin' out on us this whole time." "No, I haven't." "Then what do you call it?" "Family, we ain't even almost related." "After Samoto's father died, the remaining governors decide to disband." "So they split up the scrolls and fled the country." "Some went to the Philippines." "Some went to Thailand." "Some went to the USA." "But there were six governors and only four scrolls and no one knows who the other two keepers of the scrolls are." "Would you have believed me if I would've come with you in the beginning with a story like this?" "You two still think I killed my father." "I was just waiting for the right moment to explain it all in full detail." "But first I felt I had to gain your trust." "I have a description of the guy that may help lead us to the killer." "I have an address." "Give it." "I go with?" "No!" "No!" "No!" "I want this story, I need this story!" "If I'm ever going to make national news," "I need this story!" "No." "No." "You gonna eat that?" "No." "I don't know how you can eat all that saturated fat and expect to live long." "It is not what you eat, but what you keep." "All this goin' out tomorrow." "This ain't diet." "I ordered diet." "Same shit, different country." "My Stomach, I don't feel well." "Take a hit of this." "Smells like bubblegum." "Well give it back." "'Cause the last thing we need is your ass blowing' bubbles." "Here we go." "Stay." "Hey, big guy, how ya doin'?" "Can I play?" "Show off." "Stay back!" "You stay back!" "She die!" "Stay back!" "Man, she die!" "Hey!" "Stay back!" "Go!" "Stay back!" "Not in Thailand." "Hey, hey, hey!" "Mister." "Hey, Hey!" "Go, go!" "All right, get down, drop it!" "Drop it, drop it." "Put it down, put it down." "For what it's worth," "I just wanna thank you." "For what?" "For saving my life." "Don't mention it." "Look, about." "About what?" "Maybe we could talk about "what" over dinner tonight." "My treat." "I don't think that's a good idea." "I'm just not ready." "Lemme hail you a cab." "So how's Karen?" "She's all right." "Little bit shaken, but otherwise okay." "I, sent her to her hotel in a taxi." "Anything?" "No, he hasn't said anything." "Why won't he say anything?" "Because he'd lose face." "You mean hit." "Try to get some rest." "We've got a big day tomorrow." "Listen, man, there's, um, somethin' I gotta do." "Um." "Yeah, I'm sure." "Don't wait up for me." "Like I would." "Yes!" "Who is it?" "Twice in one day?" "I'm sorry." "What is this?" "Thought I'd bring dinner to you." "What is this?" "What is this?" "I must've thought about this 1,000 times." "What I was gonna say." "What I was gonna do." "And now that you're here." "You say that you love me, yet you wanna change me at every turn." "What's wrong with who I am?" "I don't know, Karen, what is wrong with who you are?" "This is who I am, Nick." "I love my life, I love my job," "I love where I'm at in my career." "Walls of Jericho?" "Can we just be friends tonight?" "Sorry." "It's okay." "Nathan's waiting in the lobby." "Um, one more thing." "Remember when we talked about the scrolls?" "Um, supposedly he who possesses all six scrolls can summon special powers." "No, not the special powers." "What do you mean?" "What kind of special powers?" "I don't know, I'm still researching, but supposedly he who possesses all six scrolls can summon special powers." "Powers that can heal whole villages of sick people." "Arrest natural catstrophes." "Where there's famine, the scrolls can bring feast." "Where there's drought, the scrolls can bring rain." "I mean, it's pretty incredible." "So more motivation for Samoto to acquire the scrolls." "Or Nathan." "Can these scrolls, give you the lotto numbers?" "Man, I ain't gonna never complain about Section 8 again." "What's Section 8?" "Ain't no middle class here?" "Either you extremely rich." "Or extremely poor." "Remember, when you're a kid, you're not worried about being poor." "You're just havin' fun." "I guess." "What's funny about you Westerners is you always come to what you consider a Third World country and try to impose your way of life." "The truth is, it's country's just like yours that are responsible for using up most of the world's resources." "How you figure?" "Well, according to your own EPA," "America's only 6% of the world's population but yet you generate 50% of the annual waste." "Yeah, well, you know what?" "I'd rather generate 50% of the waste being' comfortable than takin' a shower in a cup." "Yeah, that's it, the old american spirit." "Took long enough." "What is this place?" "It's an abandoned chinese temple." "The Weirding clan used to have their ceremonies here." "Used to?" "Yeah, until about 10 years ago, until they decided to go legit." "Used to?" "Yeah." "Yeah, well, somebody ain't..." "No!" "Don't move!" "Get rid of the shoe." "Man, these $200 shoes!" "This dart has been chemically treated." "It'll burn through your soles, eat through your skin, pierce your body, and make your heart explode." "Hello?" "Poison gas, run!" "I have a new girl." "Anything?" "Might as well make yourselves comfortable." "It's gonna be a long night." "You okay?" "I saw him, we were face to face!" "You okay?" "But I saw him." "Listen, honey, calm down." "I won't be a victim!" "Notice anything?" "You mean besides the dead body?" "No one's been decapitated or skinned." "Samoto didn't get what he came for." "Shotoro's destroyed the scroll." "So what does that mean?" "It means the scroll lives." "How the hell a scroll live?" "In human skin." "It was transferred to" "Tiku." "His name's Tieku." "Yeah." "Let's go." "To where?" "The station." "If Tiku's been scrolled, he'll go into hiding." "That's the only place he knows to contact me." "Listen, I need a favor." "My girl's really freakin' out." "Do you mind if she..." "She can stay with me." "Thanks, I owe you." "You owe everybody." "Make sure those two get home safely, okay." "Okay." "It's okay." "Thanks." "If I need you, I'll scream." "Go ahead and make yourself comfortable." "I'm gonna take a long, hot bath." "Are you cold?" "Here." "Put this on." "Don't mention it." "I'm here if you need me." "I can't just sit here all night." "Then make yourself useful." "You hungry?" "That's a stupid question." "What do you wanna eat?" "Well, any kind of fried rice is cool." "Long as it ain't no dog or cat." "Well, he's got some of your family qualities." "Don't go in there until I clean up all that glass." "Stupid me, I dropped my champagne glass." "What's the matter?" "You don't like my music?" "Nick." "I want you to stay in my hotel until this is over." "Okay." "I'm so sorry." "It's not your fault." "I'm sorry." "Yeah." "Thanks." "We can't seem to contact any friends or family." "Do you mind comin' down to the station, fill out a report?" "No." "I'll ride with you." "That's okay, you." "You go home with Karen, I'll be all right." "Yeah?" "Nathan!" "Yeah." "Samoto's coming for me!" "Where are you?" "Meet me at temple on top of the mountain!" "Temple?" "How do I, how do I get there?" "Yes, how can I direct your call?" "Yeah, room 1-3-2 please." "Thank you." "That was supposed to be me tonight." "Nick?" "I have to tell you something." "I wanted to be liked." "I wanted the american dream so bad." "My parents aren't dead." "Your parents are alive?" "Well, my mother is." "But my father passed away three months ago." "I didn't even know." "He asked my mother not to tell me 'cause he didn't wanna bring anymore shame on me." "I'm so sorry." "I've traded everything for this." "I sold my soul." "And for what?" "Maybe I should just pack it all up and go home." "Karen." "You have to invest in here." "This is your home." "Do you think my father could forgive me?" "I'm sure he would." "Can you?" "Come here." "I'm so sorry." "It's okay." "You have police emergency message." "Go to my room, lock the door, and don't open it for anyone." "Dear Nick and Jack," "I fear Tieku has succumbed to his demise." "With that, Samoto has acquired all six scrolls and, therefore, must complete the dance of Akita in the presence of all six scrolls." "This ritualistic cadence commands the powers of the supernatural." "His body will become like stone, his blood like sand." "I cannot ask you for what I, and I alone, must do." "Forgive me." "Nathan." "You see what that bastard keep doin'?" "Well, I guess this is goodbye." "Yep." "See you around." "'Fore you know it." "So this is it." "Well, I just wanna spend more time with my mom." "Got a lot of catching up to do." "Well I hope things work out for you." "Close your eyes." "Why?" "Close 'em." "You know I don't like surprises." "Sounds familiar." "What this?" "Nick, will you marry me?"
