The Protector Page #4

I think he's worried you will succeed

where he's failed alI these years.

Don't worry about it, inspector.

l'm used to pissin' off superiors.

We ran down the phone number

you gave us.

Shanghai Massage Parlor.

That's where Benny Garucci called

from New York.

Apparently, it's a rough place.

They, uh, don't necessarily specialize

in giving massages,

if you know what l mean.

You bet your ass I do.

Let's check this place out.

Maybe we can shake Ko's tree a littIe.

Billy, you're a mind reader.

You two be careful.

One of the reasons Ko has managed

to stay out of prison for so Iong

is he doesn't mind killing anyone

who threatens him.

If he thinks you're getting too close

to finding Laura Shapiro,

your names will be on the lips

of every assassin in Hong Kong.

It's a friendly little town

you got here, inspector.

Welcome to Hong Kong.

This is my favorite part

of town, Billy.

We're supposed to be working.

You know what they say--

all work, no play.

Play around here can get us killed.

Whoops, sorry.

At least you'd die

with a smiIe on your face. [chuckles]

[speaking Chinese]

Welcome, gentlemen.

First time here?

We're just a coupIe of poor lost souls

from New York.

A good friend of ours recommended

this place very highly.

We have many friends in New York.

Maybe you remember our friend--

his name's Benny Garucci.

Yeah, Benny Garucci-- Benny Garucci,

he really loves this place.

He taIks about it all the time.

- Right, Billy?

- Right.

So sorry, we-- we have so many friends

I can't remember them aIl.

But I'm sure we can make

your visit here very exciting.

Follow please.

[Garoni] All right.

Hey... keep your eyes open.

Don't worry, BilIy boy,

l wouldn't miss this for the worId.

BiIly, don't let this guy

sneak up on me.

[sings in ItaIian]

Hey Garoni?

[yells]

l'm gonna get you.

You know, you're very pretty.

[speaks Chinese]

My goodness gracious,

whatta we got here?

- Billy.

- Yeah.

- Do jeh.

- Thank you.

Billy, look at this, huh?

Whichever one you want

is yours, Billy, huh?

- Hello.

- You made the wrong choice.

That's-- I'm in love, this is mine.

I'm your friend, you gotta take care

of your friends, don't you?

[chuckles]

Whoop!

Excuse me.

No.

Call in the other girl.

Go ahead, make the phone call.

[speaks Chinese on phone]

l remember these holes when

they were a little smaller, you know?

Whatta we got here?

Oh.

- Welcome to.

- Welcome to.

This chick loves me.

Love my clothes?

I love your clothes.

[Garoni gasps]

You remind me of someone

I knew in Saigon.

Oh, you know Saigon.

You're very beautiful-- really.

No, you are.

How old are you?

- Eighteen?
