No, thanks.

Tell you what-- if you wait 'til I go

off duty, l'll buy you a drink.

Oh, yeah?

l just might take you up on that.

Um, excuse me, gentIemen.

l have to mingle.

That bum, Shapiro, probably uses

his own daughter to launder money.

Listen, you lousy Chink bastard,

you keep bugging

Mr. Shapiro's daughter,

they'll scrape you off the floor

with a putty knife.

His name's Benny Garucci.

He's an ex-karate champ.

I'd like to bust his f***in' head open

with a crow bar.

But you're going to have to hold him--

he's a tough son of a b*tch.

I wonder why Shapiro needs

that kind of muscle here?

Are you kiddin'? He can afford to have

the whoIe f***in' Marine Corps

standin' by to protect him,

if he wanted to.

That f*** owns half

of Manhattan, Billy.

l wouldn't mind teaching Garucci

a little lesson in manners some day.

[female speaker]

Ladies and gentlemen,

Laura Shapiro marketing is very pleased

to introduce to New York City

the sensational Edmond Wong

and his fabulous coIlection

of shimmering cocktail wear.

- Nice dress.

- Nice tits.

[screaming]

The whole warehouse!

No, no, no!

[woman screams]

[clamoring]

[alarm ringing]

[male] New York's finest.

They need to be prepared

from being snatched

right out from under

your Goddamn noses.

We had our guns out.

Had your d*cks out

for all the good it did.

I'll take my dick out

when I'm going to use it, Captain.

We couldn't shoot

without hitting the girl.

I think you two men

did the right thing.

Well, thank you, sir.

Any word, uh, from Shapiro?

He has no idea why

his daughter was snatched.

We've been monitoring his phone

for the past 12 hours.

No ransom demands, no orders, nothing.

You might find this interesting.

What is it?

A record of aIl the phone calls made

in the Iast 12 hours

by Shapiro's hood, Benny Garucci.

Six calls all to the same number.

Country code 8-5-2.

- Hong Kong.

- How the hell'd you get this?

Friend of mine at the phone company.

- The blonde?

- No, the redhead.

What the helI does all this

got to do with Hong Kong?

There's somebody waiting outside

who might just be able to answer that.

Send in Mr. CantrelI, please.

Men, this is Bob Cantrell

from the justice department.

Are these the men

who kidnapped Laura Shapiro?

Now, how the f*** should we know?

They were wearing masks.

Excuse me, lady.

What's this all about?

These men all work for a powerful

Hong Kong crime boss named HaroId Ko.

Harold Ko.

What, do you know him?

Anybody who knows Hong Kong knows Ko.

A real snake.

Yeah, and a tough one to catch.

Now, we've suspected Shapiro and Ko

of running drugs from Hong Kong

to New York for years,
