YAH!
YAH...HAH!
YAH!
BRING ME...
SUN LO, WONG TI, HAN SU LOK.
YOU ARE SWORN IN SECRECY AND BLOOD
TO SERVE OUR ORDER--
THE ORDER OF THE AVENGING DRAGON.
YOU ARE SWORN TO WIPE OUT THE STAIN UPON OUR HONOR
AS GUARDIANS OF THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD,
FOR OUR FAILURE TO PROTECT THE LIFE OF THE IMPERIAL NEPHEW,
SUN LO
WONG TI
HAN SU LOK
WE, YOUR BROTHERS
CALL UPON YOU TO FULFILL YOUR OATH.
YOUR PROVEN EXCELLENCE
IN SEPARATE SKILLS HAVE EARNED YOU THE SACRED PRIVILEGE
OF BEING THE FIRST TO BE SENT FORTH.
THE ORDER COMPELS YOU TO LEAVE AT ONCE FOR AMERICA.
SOMEWHERE WITHIN THAT COUNTRY'S WESTERN LANDS,
THE MAN WHO HAS DISHONORED US WANDERS AT WILL
SEPARATED FROM OUR VENGEANCE BY A GREAT OCEAN.
YOU MUST CROSS THE WATERS OF THAT OCEAN
SEARCH OUT THIS MAN WHO HAS DISHONORED US,
AND DESTROY HIM AT THE COST OF YOUR LIVES
THIS RENEGADE SHAOLIN PRIEST...
KWAI CHANG CAINE.
Master Kan: YOUR TREAD
MUST BE LIGHT AND SHORT
AS THOUGH YOUR PATH WERE UPON RICE PAPER.
IT IS SAID A SHAOLIN PRIEST CAN WALK THROUGH WALLS...
LOOKED FOR, HE CANNOT BE SEEN...
LISTENED FOR, HE CANNOT BE HEARD...
TOUCHED, HE CANNOT BE FELT.
THIS RICE PAPER IS THE TEST--
FRAGILE AS THE WINGS OF THE DRAGONFLY,
CLINGING AS A COCOON OF THE SILKWORM.
WHEN YOU CAN WALK ITS LENGTH AND LEAVE NO TRACE
YOU WILL HAVE LEARNED.
WHERE'D YOU COME FROM?
A MAN HAS DIED HERE LAST NIGHT.
THAT'S NEWS TO ME.
UH, SHERIFF...
MATTER OF FACT, A MAN DID DIE.
HE IS HERE IN THIS BUILDING.
NOW, LISTEN, I DON'T--
MATTER OF FACT, HE IS.
VINNIE WAS FIGURING ON PUTTING HIM AWAY TOMORROW.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE BODY.
WHY?
I BELIEVE IT IS SOMEONE I HAVE KNOWN.
WELL, THAT'S MORE THAN THE REST OF US CAN SAY.
THE WAY IT IS, I'VE BEEN AWAY MOST OF THE DAY.
WE FOUND HIM IN A SHACK OUTSIDE OF TOWN.
LOOKS LIKE HE SET FIRE TO THE PLACE AND...
BURNED HIMSELF TO DEATH.
VINNIE HERE'S THE CORONER-- UNDERTAKER.
BODY WAS BURNT PRETTY BAD.
EVEN IF YOU KNEW HIM
LIKELY YOU WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM.
I WILL KNOW HIM.
FOLLOW ME.
THIS IS WHERE WE KEEP THE BODY...
WAITING FOR SOMEBODY TO CLAIM HIM.
THERE HE IS.
WELL?
HIS NAME IS HENRY RAPHAEL CAINE...
MY GRANDFATHER.
STAND UP. PLEASE.
YOU HAVE YOUR FATHER IN YOU.
I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE YOU.
FOR YOU...
I HAVE A FATHER, A GRANDFATHER,
A GREAT-GRANDFATHER STRETCHING BACK
TO THE ROOTS OF TIME.
THIS WAS MY FATHER'S.
THIS WAS YOUR FATHER'S.
IT'S ALL I HAVE.
MR. CAINE?
I'M DR. BAXTER.
THE SHERIFF TOLD ME THAT YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO IDENTIFIED THIS MAN.
YES.
ARE YOU RELATED TO HIM?
HE WAS MY GRANDFATHER...
HENRY RAPHAEL CAINE.
THE STONECUTTER.
OH, I KNEW HIM MANY YEARS AGO.
MR. CAINE...
IT MAY COMFORT YOU TO KNOW
THAT SMOKE OVERCOMES A PERSON
QUICKLY AND MERCIFULLY.
I'M SURE THAT YOUR GRANDFATHER'S DEATH
WAS LESS CRUEL THAN IT MIGHT SEEM.
MY GRANDFATHER DID NOT DIE OF SMOKE OR FIRE.
WHAT?
WHEN I WASHED HIS BODY, I FOUND A BULLET HERE.
MURDERED?
WHY?
HENRY HASN'T LIVED IN THESE PARTS FOR MANY YEARS.
THAT SHACK WHERE THEY FOUND HIM--
NO ONE EVER GOES THERE.
OR A DRIFTER.
YES, THAT COULD BE.
HENRY PASSING THROUGH, STOPPED TO REST
DRIFTER CAME UPON HIM, WANTED HIS MONEY.
HE WAS NOT ROBBED.
HIS MONEY IS HERE.
SADDLEBAG.
BUT YOU SAY HE WAS SHOT.
THERE MUST BE SOME REASON.
I WILL DISCOVER IT WHEN I FIND HIS MURDERER.
YOU SEEM VERY SURE.
I AM.
WHAT ARE YOU AFTER-- VENGEANCE? JUSTICE?
PEACE...
FOR HIS TROUBLED SPIRIT.
WHEN YOU HAVE CROSSED THE SEA
YOU WILL ABIDE FOR A TIME IN THE CITY CALLED SAN FRANCISCO.
IN ALL THIS TIME, YOU MUST CLING TO YOUR BLOOD OATH
AND THE STRENGTH OF YOUR WILL TO VENGEANCE
WILL REACH OUT AND TOUCH THE SOULS OF OUR SHAME.
Lok: THE LOATHSOME PRESENCE OF THE HATED SHAOLIN
IS STRONGLY FELT.
HE IS NEAR.
EVEN NOW OUR POWER GOES FORTH TO SEEK HIM OUT.
LET US PREPARE TO MEET HIM.
WITHIN THIS CUP
IN THE MANNER OF THE FIRST TRIAD OF THE SUBLIME SERVANTS
WE MINGLE THE BLOOD OF OUR VEINS
WITH THE BLOOD OF THE AVENGING DRAGON
AND PLEDGE DESTRUCTION OF KWAI CHANG CAINE.
SOON OUR CHALLENGE WILL BE PRESENTED.
WE WILL FACE OUR ENEMY.
THE ANCIENT FORMS OF THE CODE OF TAI SING LULEE
WILL BE HONORED.
HE WILL RESPOND AS HE MUST
AND WE WILL BE FREE TO ACCOMPLISH OUR DESTINY.
DEATH TO THE PRIEST KWAI CHANG CAINE.
HOW'D IT END, SIS?
VERY QUICK.
I TOLD YOU HE WAS TOP ANIMAL, MISS McLEAN
AND HE'LL SIRE YOU A LOT MORE JUST LIKE HIM.
HE LOOKS TO HAVE SOME BARB IN HIM, MR. PERKINS.
WHY, HE'S A PUREBRED FROM THE DARLEY ARABIAN.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, SIS?
HE'S PURE ENOUGH ARAB FOR ME.
LOOK.
A TRUE ARAB HAS A MORE FINELY TAPERED HEAD...
HIS TAIL ISN'T SET LOW. THERE MAY BE NO MORE THAN THE FACE
AND I DON'T DOUBT THAT YOU COULD ARGUE.
IT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY LITTLE SISTER.
NO SALE.
PULL HIM OUT.
SARAH.
AH. COME IN, GEORGE.
COME IN.
IT'S BEEN QUITE SOME TIME.
UH, CAN I GET YOU, UH...SOMETHING?
OH, YOU HAVE SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND.
YES, UH...
YES, SARAH, I'M SORRY.
IT'S ABOUT HENRY.
HE'S DEAD.
HE WAS MURDERED.
THEY FOUND HIM IN A CABIN.
THERE WAS A FIRE, BUT FIRST HE WAS SHOT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
YOU'VE BEEN TO LORDSVILLE?
NO. THAT HAPPENED HERE.
HE CAME BACK TO CALIFORNIA?
WHY?
I DON'T KNOW.
FROM THE LOOKS OF THINGS, HE WAS STOPPING OVER.
I THOUGHT HE MIGHT TRY TO CONTACT YOU.
I CLOSED THE DOOR ON HENRY CAINE OVER 20 YEARS AGO.
THERE'S NEVER BEEN A WORD EXCHANGED BETWEEN US SINCE...
NOR REASON FOR ONE.
NOT MANY BETWEEN US EITHER.
I SAW JOHNNY AND MARGIT.
THEY COULD HAVE BEEN OUR GRANDCHILDREN.
NO, GEORGE, NEVER.
THAT'S A DREAM YOU HAD...ALONE.
I KNOW.
I KNOW BETTER NOW, BELIEVE ME.
BUT, SARAH, I CAME HERE TO TALK ABOUT HENRY'S DEATH.
YOU MUST REALIZE THE SHERIFF
WILL HAVE TO MAKE AN INVESTIGATION.
THAT DOESN'T CONCERN ME.
IT MIGHT.
THERE'S A MAN IN TOWN...
HENRY'S GRANDSON.
GOOD. MAYBE HE CAN GIVE THE SHERIFF A HAND.
UH-UH. HE WON'T WAIT FOR THE SHERIFF.
HE'LL LOOK FOR HIS OWN ANSWERS.
I THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.
THANK YOU, GEORGE.
THANK YOU FOR COMING BY.
DR. BAXTER, HOW'VE YOU BEEN?
-FINE, MARGIT. YOU? -FINE.
ANYTHING WRONG WITH SARAH?
OH, NO, NO, NO.
I JUST RODE OUT TO SPEAK TO HER ABOUT A...
AN OLD FRIEND.
ANYBODY I KNOW?
HIS NAME WAS HENRY RAPHAEL CAINE.
WAS?
HE'S DEAD.
MURDERED.
SARAH NEVER MENTIONED HIM TO YOU?
NO.
I NEVER HEARD OF HIM.
HMM. WELL, TAKE CARE.
GOOD DAY.
JOHNNY?
WHAT'S WRONG? TELL ME.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
HEY, I'M YOUR SISTER, REMEMBER?
I CAN TELL WHEN SOMETHING'S BOTHERING YOU.
WELL, YOU KNOW MORE THAN I DO, THEN.
I DON'T THINK YOU WERE TELLING THE TRUTH
TO DR. BAXTER ABOUT THAT MAN.
SIS!
NO. YOU SAID YOU NEVER HEARD OF HIM. I THINK YOU DID.
WHAT CAN I DO TO CONVINCE YOU?
LISTEN, SIS, TELL YOU WHAT I'M GOING TO DO.
SOON AS I FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS THAT'S BOTHERING ME
UH, I PROMISE I'LL COME RUNNING TO YOU
AND YOU'RE THE FIRST PERSON I'LL TELL, OK?
Man: KEEP, THEN, HIS HATED IMAGE BEFORE YOU.
KNOW THAT HE MAY LOOK FOR CONCEALMENT
IN THE VASTNESS OF SPACES
FOR WITHIN THIS VASTNESS, THERE IS A CLOSENESS
AND WITHIN THIS CLOSENESS
THERE IS ONE WHO WILL BETRAY HIM.
GOOD AFTERNOON, MISS McLEAN.
HI.
-DR. BAXTER? -OH, MARGIT.
I ALWAYS SEEM TO COME TO YOU, DON'T I?
WELL, I WOULDN'T WANT THAT TO CHANGE.
WHY DID YOU COME OUT TO THE RANCH TODAY?
UH, WELL, I HAVEN'T SEEN YOUR GRANDMOTHER IN A LONG TIME.
BUT WHY TODAY?
IT HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT MAN THAT WAS KILLED, DIDN'T IT?
WHAT WAS HIS NAME? HENRY RAPHAEL CAINE?
WHO IS HE?
UM, HE WAS AN OLD FRIEND OF YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S.
YOU BOTH KNEW HIM?
YES.
TELL ME ABOUT HIM.
WHAT WAS HE TO GRANDMOTHER?
MARGIT, UH...
SHE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN ANSWER THAT.
YEAH, BUT SHE WON'T.
YOU WON'T EITHER, WILL YOU?
LOOK, MARGIT--
LISTEN, DR. BAXTER, I'M SCARED.
I'M SCARED FOR JOHNNY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
YES?
I DID NOT KNOW YOU WERE BUSY. I AM SORRY.
MISS McLEAN IS JUST LEAVING.
MARGIT McLEAN
KWAI CHANG CAINE.
CAINE?
I'LL SEE YOU OUT.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT ME TO DO, DOC?
WHAT? OH, NO, NO. JUST GO ON SWEEPING.
YOU'RE DOING A GOOD JOB.
Man: YOU ARE THE NEW STUDENT. COME CLOSER.
YOU CANNOT SEE.
YOU THINK I CANNOT SEE?
OF ALL THINGS
TO LIVE IN DARKNESS MUST BE THE WORST.
FEAR IS THE ONLY DARKNESS.
TAKE YOUR BROOM AND STRIKE ME WITH IT.
DO AS I TELL YOU. STRIKE.
AGAIN.
HERE. CATCH.
HA HA HA!
NEVER ASSUME THAT BECAUSE A MAN HAS NO EYES
HE CANNOT SEE.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
WHAT DO YOU HEAR?
I HEAR THE WATER
I HEAR THE BIRDS.
DO YOU HEAR YOUR OWN HEARTBEAT?
NO.
DO YOU HEAR THE GRASSHOPPER
WHICH IS AT YOUR FEET?
OLD MAN, HOW IS IT THAT YOU HEAR THESE THINGS?
YOUNG MAN, HOW IS IT THAT YOU DO NOT?
I'M SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITING.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
I FOUND THIS IN THE FIRE--
A BOOK OF THE BIBLE.
INSIDE, AN INSCRIPTION...
IN A WOMAN'S HAND...
IN MEMORIAM.
IS IT NOT STRANGE THAT THIS WOULD BE SENT
IN MEMORY OF MY GRANDFATHER BEFORE HIS DEATH?
HOW DO YOU KNOW IT WAS SENT TO HIM?
SUPPOSE HE PICKED IT UP SOMEWHERE?
THERE IS A PASSAGE MARKED.
"AND WHEN HE HAD OPENED THE FOURTH SEAL
"I HEARD THE VOICE OF THE FOURTH BEAST SAY COME AND SEE
"AND I LOOKED, AND BEHOLD A PALE HORSE...
AND HIS NAME THAT SAT ON HIM WAS DEATH."
A THREAT.
A WARNING.
A PREDICTION.
OR PERHAPS, AS IT SAYS, A REVELATION FROM THE LORD.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS MEANT FOR HIM.
BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS.
MR. CAINE, YOU'VE BURIED YOUR GRANDFATHER.
LET HIM REST IN PEACE.
A MURDERED MAN CANNOT REST IN PEACE, NOR CAN I.
IT IS MY DUTY TO REMAIN UNTIL THE TRUTH IS KNOWN
ABOUT MY GRANDFATHER'S DEATH.
AND WHERE DO YOU EXPECT TO FIND THE TRUTH?
WHO WAS THAT WOMAN WHO WAS HERE?
MARGIT McLEAN.
WHY?
DO YOU KNOW WHY MY GRANDFATHER CAME TO THIS TOWN?
NO.
NO, I DON'T.
THANK YOU.
WHAT WAS SO FUNNY?
WELL, ASK YOUR BROTHER.
I THOUGHT IT WAS A PERFECTLY INNOCENT REMARK.
INNOCENT? SARAH!
NOW, I'M REALLY GOING TO HAVE TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT YOUR MANNERS, JOHNNY.
WAS THERE SOMETHING YOU WANTED, DEAR?
WHO WAS HENRY RAPHAEL CAINE?
WHY DO YOU ASK?
DO I ALWAYS GET EVASIONS INSTEAD OF ANSWERS?
WELL, SUPPOSE I TOLD YOU I NEVER HEARD THE NAME?
WELL, YOU BOTH OBVIOUSLY KNOW WHO HE WAS.
HE WAS...
A NOBODY.
COME ON, MARGIT. WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS ABOUT?
SHE'S BEEN TALKING TO GEORGE BAXTER.
YES, I HAVE.
YOU KNOW, GEORGE SHOULD HAVE BEEN BORN A WOMAN.
HE ENJOYS GOSSIP SO MUCH.
WHAT'S ALL THIS INTEREST IN HENRY CAINE?
WHEN I WAS LEAVING DR. BAXTER'S OFFICE
-I MET HIS GRANDSON. -OH.
YES. HE WAS CARRYING A BOOK WITH A RED BINDING
SORT OF LIKE THE ONES IN YOUR SET, SARAH.
HOW DID HE GET IT?
I SHOULD THINK YOU'D HAVE ASKED HIM.
JOHNNY, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO WITH ALL OF THIS?
WITH WHAT?
WITH WHAT! JOHNNY!
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING SO UPSET ABOUT, MARGIT?
THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON HERE
THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
BUT I DON'T LIKE IT...
AND I AM SCARED FOR YOU.
COME ON, SIS.
THE ONLY THING THAT'S GOING ON AROUND IS IN YOUR IMAGINATION.
MY IMAGINATION.
LOOK, WE'LL TALK ABOUT IT LATER, BUT RIGHT NOW
I HAVE A FEW THINGS THAT I GOTTA GO OVER WITH SARAH, OK?
COME ON.
MARGIT?
THIS CAINE, THE GRANDSON
WHAT DOES HE LOOK LIKE?
HE'S CHINESE.
CHINESE?
HALF CHINESE.
I MIGHT HAVE EXPECTED IT.
SHE'S NOT GOING TO LET IT GO.
AND WHAT IF SHE DOESN'T?
YOU GOING TO LET A CHINABOY WORRY US?
IT WOULDN'T HURT TO HAVE A LOOK AT HIM.
IF YOU SAY SO.
JOHNNY?
DID I EVER TELL YOU HOW PROUD I AM OF YOU?
I WAS JUST IN THE POST OFFICE GETTING YOUR--
RICHIE, IF YOU WANT TO BECOME A DOCTOR
YOU'VE GOT TO START WORKING ON YOUR BEDSIDE MANNER.
-SORRY. HERE. -THANK YOU.
YOU KNOW THAT MAN WHO WAS IN HERE YESTERDAY?
CAINE?
I THOUGHT HE LOOKED FAMILIAR.
YOU KNOW HOW I LIKE TO LOOK THROUGH THE WANTED POSTERS?
THAT'S HIM.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
I'M A DOCTOR, NOT A LAWMAN.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
I SAW YOU WORKING IN FRONT OF THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE.
IS IT NOT GOOD TO SWEEP
KEEP THINGS CLEAN?
I ONLY DO THAT BECAUSE I HAVE TO.
MY REAL AMBITION IS TO BE A DOCTOR SOMEDAY.
YOU HAVE LEARNED DISCIPLINE
AND ACQUIRED MANY NEW ABILITIES.
HOWEVER, NEVER FORGET THAT A PRIEST'S LIFE IS A SIMPLE ONE
AND MUST REMAIN FREE OF AMBITION.
HAVE YOU NO AMBITION, MASTER PO?
ONLY ONE.
5 YEARS HENCE, IT IS MY WISH
TO MAKE A PILGRIMAGE TO THE FORBIDDEN CITY.
IT IS A PLACE WHERE EVEN PRIESTS RECEIVE NO SPECIAL STATUS.
THERE, IN THE TEMPLE OF HEAVEN
WILL BE A FESTIVAL THE FULL MOON OF MAY.
IT WLL BE THE 13th DAY OF THE FIFTH MONTH
OF THE YEAR OF THE DOG.
THAT IS NOT SUCH A GREAT AMBITION.
BUT IT IS AMBITION NONETHELESS.
WHO AMONG US IS WITHOUT FLAW?
CAINE?
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.
UM, DR. BAXTER TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR GRANDFATHER...
THAT HE WAS DEAD.
I'M SORRY.
MISS McLEAN?
DID YOU KNOW MY GRANDFATHER?
NO.
BUT YOU KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT HIM.
NO.
WHY DID YOU COME TO SEE ME?
WELL, YESTERDAY YOU HAD A BOOK
THE SCRIPTURE, I THINK
WITH A RED BINDING.
YES.
I'D LIKE TO BUY IT FROM YOU.
WHY?
NO SPECIAL REASON.
I'D JUST LIKE TO HAVE IT.
I DO NOT WISH TO SELL IT.
ALRIGHT.
THE BOOK WAS SENT TO MY GRANDFATHER BEFORE HE DIED.
THERE WAS A PASSAGE UNDERLINED.
INSIDE THE FRONT PAGE, THERE WERE WORDS.
WHOEVER WROTE THEM KNEW MY GRANDFATHER WOULD BE KILLED.
Johnny: CHINABOY.
Margit: JOHNNY.
YOU THINK IT'S YOUR PLACE TO TALK TO MY SISTER?
I DO NOT WISH TO OFFEND.
WELL, THEN, COOL OUT MY HORSE AND CURRY HIM FOR ME...
NOW.
I AM SORRY. I CANNOT.
YOU'RE A STABLE BOY, AREN'T YOU?
I HAVE BEEN GIVEN OTHER WORK.
I'M TELLING YOU WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.
JOHNNY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING, SIS.
I JUST WANT THIS STABLE BOY TO TAKE CARE OF MY HORSE.
HE'S NOT A STABLE BOY.
-THIS IS CAINE, THE MAN-- -I DON'T CARE!
HE'LL DO WHAT I TELL HIM TO DO AND HE WILL, AREN'T YOU, BOY?
DO I HAVE TO USE A LITTLE PERSUASION?
I HAVE NO WISH TO FIGHT WITH YOU.
WELL, IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE YOU HAVE ANY CHOICE.
Caine: AH! AAH!
UNH!
Margit: JOHNNY!
UNH!
OH. LET ME SEE.
LEAVE ME ALONE.
THIS DON'T END IT, BOY.
I AM SORRY.
BETTER GET YOU TO THE DOCTOR.
YOU GONNA SEE ME AGAIN.
THIS AIN'T THE LAST AND YOU CAN COUNT ON THAT!
DOC, UH, I'VE GOT A SCRATCH.
UH-HUH.
WELL, LET ME HAVE A LOOK.
OH.
UH-HUH. GET ME SOME SCISSORS
WILL YOU PLEASE, THERE, MARGIT?
HERE. SIT DOWN.
FIX YOU UP IN A MINUTE.
HOW'D THIS HAPPEN?
SOME CHINABOY DOWN AT THE STABLE GOT ORNERY.
UH-HUH. AND THEN YOU GOT ORNERY RIGHT ALONG WITH HIM, HUH?
YOU WOULDN'T WANT ME TO BACK OFF FROM A CHINABOY, WOULD YOU?
HIS NAME IS CAINE.
WHAT WAS THE FIGHT ABOUT?
IT WAS NOTHING. IT WAS JUST KIDS PLAYING IN THE BARN.
MM-MMM.
YOU THINK HE'S REALLY PLAYING?
GRANDFATHER'S BEEN MURDERED.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU
BUT HE'S NOT GOING TO FORGET IT.
YOU SAW WHAT HE'S LIKE.
HE'S GOING TO STAY WITH THIS
TILL HE FINDS THE MAN WHO DID IT.
THANK YOU, DOCTOR.
Man: YOU ALRIGHT, JOHNNY?
I'D LIKE TO SEND A WIRE.
AND THE MESSAGE, MISS McLEAN?
UH, THE CHINESE LIGATION IN SAN FRANCISCO.
THE MAN YOU WANT FOR MURDER IS HERE IN GURNEYVILLE.
HOW DO YOU WANT TO SIGN IT?
NO SIGNATURE.
THE LAW REQUIRES IT, MISS McLEAN.
ANY NAME WILL DO.
JUDAS.
Man: HEAR US, PRIEST. THE MOMENT OF MEETING
WRITTEN IN BLOOD
FROM THE BEGINNINGS OF TIME IS HERE
ACCORDING TO THE ANCIENT CODES OF SACRED HONOR.
WE BID YOU HERE
AND WE BID YOU COME.
Master Kan: YOU MUST PREPARE YOURSELF FOR WHAT LIES AHEAD
IN YOUR CHOSEN ROLE AS PRIEST.
THE NATURE OF WIND AND FIRE AND ICE
THE FRAILTY OF THE HUMAN CONDITION IN HUNGER AND THIRST
AND FATIGUE
THE PREDATORY INSTINCTS OF LIVING THINGS
THE GREED AND FINALITY BURIED IN THE HEARTS OF MEN.
YOU MUST BE PREPARED TO SURVIVE THROUGH ALL OF THIS.
THESE GRACEFUL MOVEMENTS YOU NOW PERFORM
BELONG WITH THE RIGORS OF ALL THOSE DISCIPLINES
WHICH YOUR MASTERS IMPOSE UPON YOU
WILL HELP YOU TO DEVELOP THE INNER STRENGTH--
THAT WHICH WE CALL CHI--
AND WHEN YOU COME TO MEET YOUR GREATEST TEST
YOUR HIGHEST CHALLENGES
WHEN YOU CALL UPON YOUR CHI, IT WILL NOT DESERT YOU.
COME ON. HE'S WAITING ON YOU.
YOU WISH TO SEE ME?
MR. CAINE, UH, SOMETHING'S BEEN TAKEN FROM THIS OFFICE HERE
THAT CONCERNS YOU...
A POSTER.
YOU KNOW THE ONE I'M SPEAKING OF?
YES.
IT WAS REMOVED WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR MY PERMISSION
BY MARGIT McLEAN.
I DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL SHE'D GONE.
YOU DON'T SEEM VERY ALARMED.
THERE IS NOTHING TO BE DONE.
MARGIT MAY NOTIFY THE AUTHORITIES.
I BELIEVE SHE HAS ALREADY DONE SO.
THEY'LL COME HERE LOOKING FOR YOU.
YES.
YOU'RE JUST GOING TO LET THEM COME?
I...STAND.
OH!
YOU'RE AS STUBBORN AS HE WAS!
MY GRANDFATHER?
YEAH.
WE WERE FRIENDS 40 YEARS AGO...
TILL WE FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SAME GIRL...
SARAH KINGSLEY.
IS SHE STILL ALIVE?
YES.
I TALKED WITH HER THIS MORNING.
THE INSCRIPTION ON THE BIBLE
WAS IN THE HAND OF A WOMAN.
YOU STILL LOVE THIS WOMAN, DO YOU NOT?
I'LL ASK YOU NOTHING ELSE.
UH, NO. MR. CAINE?
YOU'VE ALREADY MET MARGIT'S BROTHER...
IN THE LIVERY STABLE.
JOHNNY?
WHATEVER HE MIGHT HAVE DONE
IT WAS SARAH THAT MADE IT HAPPEN.
ONE MORE THING I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW.
YOUR GRANDFATHER HENRY CAINE
AND SARAH...
THEY HAD A DAUGHTER.
JOHNNY AND MARGIT ARE HER CHILDREN.
YOU, JOHNNY, AND MARGIT...
ARE THE SAME BLOOD.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR BEYOND THE SEA, GRASSHOPPER?
THAT PART OF ME WHICH I KNOW LITTLE OF--
THE PAST OUT OF WHICH I WAS BORN.
THEN SOMEDAY YOU MUST SEEK IT.
BUT IS IT GOOD TO SEEK THE PAST, MASTER PO?
DOES IT NOT ROB THE PRESENT?
IF A MAN DWELLS ON THE PAST
THEN HE ROBS THE PRESENT.
BUT IF A MAN IGNORES THE PAST
HE MAY ROB THE FUTURE.
THE SEEDS OF OUR DESTINY ARE NURTURED
BY THE ROOTS OF OUR PAST.
IT WILL DULL THE PAIN.
IT'S ALREADY FORGOTTEN.
OF COURSE.
I'D EXPECT THAT.
THERE'S ANOTHER WOUND...
DEEPER.
WELL, YOU TOLD ME TO HAVE A LOOK AT HIM.
YES. EXACTLY.
HAD YOU DONE WHAT I ASKED, YOU WOULDN'T NEED THAT.
YOU LOWERED YOURSELF, JOHNNY...
GOT DOWN ON HIS LEVEL
TRUSSLED LIKE A COMMON RUFFIAN.
HE DOESN'T FIGHT LIKE A MAN.
DID YOU THINK HE WOULD?
PEOPLE LIKE THAT HAVE NO SENSE OF FORM.
THEY MAKE THEIR OWN RULES LIKE ANIMALS.
SARAH...
WHY CAN'T WE BE DONE WITH IT?
I MEAN...
-I THOUGHT IT WAS FINISHED. -IT WILL BE.
HE'S STUBBORN.
DOCTOR SAYS HE THINKS HE'S GOING TO KEEP POKING HIS NOSE IN.
WE MAY HAVE TO DEAL WITH HIM, THEN.
SARAH...
DON'T PUSH ME TO THAT.
I'M NOT.
I'M ONLY WORRIED FOR YOU.
YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF YEARS TO LIVE, JOHNNY.
YOU WANT TO BE FREE TO LIVE THEM GRACEFULLY...
LIKE A KINGSLEY.
HE'S NOT A KINGSLEY.
HE'S A McLEAN, SARAH.
MARGIT...
SUPPOSE YOU LEAVE THIS TO JOHNNY AND ME?
DON'T YOU THINK I BELONG IN THIS?
HE'S MY BROTHER.
OH, MARGIT.
LISTEN, IT'S AS IF I NEVER WAS A PART OF THIS FAMILY
AS IF YOU 2--
IF YOU FEEL THAT WAY, WHATEVER IS HOLDING YOU HERE?
SARAH, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT.
WE CAN'T WORRY ABOUT HER NOW, JOHNNY.
I'M CONCERNED ABOUT YOU.
THIS CHINAMAN NOSING AROUND
IT'S NOT GOOD.
ARE YOU SUGGESTING SOMETHING?
YES. IN THE FUTURE
REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.
DO THE RIGHT THING.
SARAH...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE RIGHT THING IS.
HEH.
THERE IS A RIGHT AND THERE IS A WRONG.
WE'VE ALWAYS KNOWN IT
AND WE'VE ALWAYS ACTED ON THAT PRINCIPLE.
YOU WILL DO IT
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T HELP YOURSELF.
I'M SURE OF IT, JOHNNY.
I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU...
SOMETHING I DID.
I KNOW. THE POSTER.
YOU SENT A TELEGRAM.
YOU KNOW AND YOU'RE STILL HERE?
YOU MUST HATE ME.
I DO NOT HATE YOU.
BUT I BETRAYED YOU.
NOT FROM ILL WILL TO ME...
BUT LOVE FOR YOUR BROTHER.
YOU FEARED THAT I WOULD HURT HIM.
I DON'T FEAR THAT ANYMORE.
I DON'T FEEL THAT YOU'D HURT ANYONE DELIBERATELY.
AND I DON'T--I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT THE POSTER SAID.
WHY DID THEY OFFER MORE FOR YOU ALIVE THAN DEAD?
THE CODE OF TAI SING LULEE.
IF I AM ALIVE, THEN THEY MAY KILL ME
IN THEIR OWN SPECIAL WAY.
BUT YOU--YOU CAN RUN NOW.
AS THEY ARE HONOR BOUND TO COME
I AM HONOR BOUND TO STAY.
HONOR WILL BE SERVED, PRIEST.
THE TIME OF OUR MEETING
IS AT HAND.
WE AWAIT.
KWAI CHANG CAINE...
WE HAVE COME FOR YOU.
THE IMPERIAL GUARDS OF THE DRAGON THRONE..
AT THE CENTER OF THE WORLD...
WHO FAILED IN THEIR DUTY TO PROTECT THE PERSON
OF THE EMPEROR'S FAVORED NEPHEW.
WHEN YOU KILLED HIM,
THE STENCH OF DISHONOR DESCENDED ON OUR ORDER
