Silk
- Okay, let's go.
- Come on.
Aw, come on.
Maybe it's just
the smoke in the room.
Hey, give me another beer.
Hey, beer.
- Carnahan.
Where is he?
- He's right over there.
Come on.
This is Mr. Stromberg.
Mr. Stromberg.
- Welcome to the USA, Mr. Tanaka.
- Tanaka?
- Katsuyo Tanaka, that's your new name.
- Oh, thank you.
- Knox over here'll show you the car.
Austin wants to see you tomorrow.
- We have to be very careful.
We can't afford exposure.
This is background material.
I want you to memorize all of
the names, all of the dates.
Here's a number where you can reach us.
But don't use it unless you have to.
We'll call you.
- Tell your boss, I'm extremely
pleased with arrangements.
- Okay, do me a favor, will you?
- Anything.
- Give me the room solo for a
minute, I gotta make a call.
Go on, get outta here.
- You kept us waiting, asshole.
- Look, I got the merchandise you want.
I just got in from Hong Kong.
- Okay, I'll meet you
in an hour, same place.
What was that?
Was that the contact?
- You just be ready.
That's all you have to know.
Tell the boys it's time to go.
One of our friends is upstairs,
second door on your left.
Go on up.
Try to cool that stuff, yeah.
- I'm going in.
- Hm, not bad.
- You gotta be kidding!
This junk is shit!
- What in the fuck are you talkin' about?
Who is this asshole?
- Bad junk man, it's nothin' but dirt.
- Listen, Frampton, I can
take my smack elsewhere
if you don't appreciate it.
- Stay cool.
It stinks, it's rat poison.
- Shut him up, Reilley, will ya?
- I'm tellin' you man,
this stuff is no good!
You're gonna be sorry.
- All units come in, all units come in.
Get up.
Move.
- Shit!
Bag these suckers.
- Okay, sport.
It's all there.
- Great.
- Hey, the place is surrounded by cops!
It's a bust!
Hold it!
Give me that.
- Hold it, police!
Come on.
- Hold it!
- Hey, it's all yours.
But I take a walk.
- Hey, you all look hungry to me,
whadya say we have a party?
Bring 'em over here!
- Let's go, let's go!
Big headlines, throw a big
party, what do you say?
- Come on, help yourself,
they're hot now, they're hot.
- Mr. Firework.
- You gotta hurry.
- Pizza line, the pizza's here.
- Jenny, I knew if I put you
on top of this, you'd deliver.
Here you go, babe, have some pizza.
- Sorry to get you out of bed.
- Hey, it's okay.
I've been tryin' to nail that
snakeskin Frampton for years.
Who finally brought him down?
- I did.
Unavoidable.
- Well it would've been a bitch
to get a conviction anyway.
What about the one that flew?-
- Oh, we're looking under
all the usual rocks.
I gotta get some sleep.
Big trial tomorrow.
- Hey.
My place.
- 10 minutes.
- Good girl.
Mr. Austin.
- Ah, Stromberg.
Go on, girl.
What have we got?
Well, gold is up.
How much?
Four dollars.
Unbelievable.
How's copper?
- Up 45.
- Hm.
- And Hong Kong Holding is up 26 points.
Yamamoto came in last night.
- Uh-huh.
- We've got him in the safe house now.
- I see.
Look, you send a Telex to Tokyo
and collect final payment.
When's our next transfer?
- Friday from Singapore.
- Ah-ha.
Oh, I want a closer match up than that.
The face that you picked is a bit old.
- You probably heard about the heroin bust
on the waterfront last night.
I got a description of the carrier.
And it fits Carnahan.
- I suppose that's why he
didn't report to me today.
- We checked with his landlady.
He moved out this morning in a hurry.
- I never trusted that
little bastard, you find him.
Oh Wendy, don't, love.
Oh no!
No!
- That's not the worst of it, captain.
Poor guy lost an ear to his killers.
We had a couple cases
like, like this last month,
same touch.
- And what did uh, fingerprints turn up?
- Positive ID on the victim.
Ex-con named Fresno Murchison.
- Murchison.
Walked on a rape charge in January.
- Right.
- That was your case, wasn't it, Tom?
- Yeah, yeah, I remember it.
Come on, let's go, we're late.
- What were you doing
there so early, Mr. Makena?
- I went in to use the bathroom.
- You were alone in the gas
station with the deceased
when the robbery took place?
- Nobody was there but me.
- Now let's go over it once more.
At 6:45, a man came into the gas station,
pointed a gun at the
proprietor, Mr. Kwong,
and demanded the contents of the safe.
When Mr. Kwong hesitated,
the man shot him three times in the face
at point-blank range.
Now, you got a very good look
at the killer, didn't you?
- Uh-huh.
- You saw his face in
the morning sunlight.
- Uh-huh.
- Do you see the man in this court?
- No?
I'm sorry,
would you repeat that?
- I don't see the guy.
- Son of a bitch, he's been bought.
- For the last time.
I'm pointed at defendant Haskell.
Is this not the man you--
- Objection, Your Honor.
She's leading the witness.
- Sustained.
- No, the guy had blonde hair.
He looked like one of those surfer boys.
Order!
- Too bad, Stevens.
Thought this case was gonna be
your ticket to the front page, didn't you?
- Guess you won't be following
him to the Mayor's station,
Miss Sleighton.
Gonna be voting for an asshole.
Chump.
Come on, come on.
Come on, let's go see.
- Get away from that window!
- Why are you so jumpy?
We keep moving from one hotel
to another and back again.
And I don't even
understand what's going on.
- Some guys downstairs.
I gotta shake those bastards
or we'll never get out of Honolulu alive.
I made a quiet arrangement
with one my connections.
We're taking a freighter to Malaysia.
I want you to hold onto this for me.
- What is it?
- That's my life insurance, baby.
You know what
you're doing, don't you?
- What am I doing?
- You're breaking your own first rule.
- What's that?
- Don't let it get to you.
- Every time I think
about that prick Haskell--
- Well don't think about him.
- Come on, let's go.
- Are you coming up?
- I'll see you tomorrow.
Go ahead.
- What the fuck are you doing here?
Somebody could've followed you.
- I want more money.
- You've already been paid.
- I need more.
I'm leaving town.
- Good.
Where?
- We're gonna get a
boat and sail to Niihau.
- The forbidden island, right?
No Haoles allowed.
- Then I won't have to look
at another ugly white face
like yours again.
All units at
the setting of 26 hotel room.
We've got a mutilated
corpse, multiple stab wounds.
14, on our way.
This must be it, check out the voyeurs.
- Yep, let's go.
All right, out of the way out of the way.
You know who he is?
- No, he just dead here.
- No witnesses?
- Nothin'.
Holy shit.
- You're in deep trouble, Carnahan.
You should've asked permission
before you started your
junior import trade.
- That was small change,
I was just moonlighting!
- Make it quick.
- Listen to me, Austin!
I got a list!
Someone's keepin' it for me.
Every name is on it.
If anything happens to me--
- Hm, blackmail?
- I just want out, that's all!
Guarantee me safe passage to the mainland.
You'll never see me again.
- Aw, let him go.
Dead man this way.
- Whadya got?
- The little kids found
Houdini floatin' down here.
Looks kinda young, about
20-25 years of age.
Never seen him before.
Must've been out here a long time.
- Get some statements, will ya?
- Brown, what do you got
on the smack peddler?
- Got a report he was spotted
in Chinatown last night.
- Okay, chief wants us.
- How good is this?
- Close enough.
We got it posted all over town.
Airport, liquor stores,
massage parlors, you name it.
Hey Commander,
what do you got for us?
- Got a weird one here.
Kid found a corpse on
a beach this morning.
I want you guys to handle it.
Here's the lab report.
25 year old male named Billy Shamura.
Autopsy shows he's been
dead about two years,
and here's the funny part.
Billy Shamura is not dead.
I repeat, not dead.
I had it double checked.
According to both county
and federal records,
Billy Shamura's alive and kicking.
Taxpayer with an active
social security number.
- Let's go to work.
Well, we're looking
for a man named Tokuda, and a--
Tokuda, yeah.
Tokuda used to work with us.
He worked with us until last January.
Uh-huh.
And then he came into
some big bucks or something,
now he lives on the Island of Lanai.
- Lanai, huh?
- Yeah, Lanai.
You got an address?
I'm afraid not.
Well, I suppose
we'll just fly down,
check it out ourselves.
- Okay.
- Been a lot of help, Chief.
Thank a lot.
- Anytime.
- Bingo, Billy Shamura's mother
used to work in that stall,
but she's not there anymore.
We'll find her in a nuthouse in Waipio.
2402, Dr. Alan Greenberg, 2402.
- I heard what he said.
I'm not a biter.
Who are you?
- Mrs. Tokuda?
I'm Lieutenant Kobayashi
from the Honolulu Police.
And this is Inspector Sleighton.
- I don't know why he
should say that about me.
I haven't bitten anyone in years.
- We just wanted to ask
you a couple questions.
- I'm not crazy, and I'm not dead.
- Mrs. Tokuda.
Mrs. Tokuda.
We're here about your son, Billy Shamura.
- I've.
I was crazy then.
When the brought me here.
That's because I felt so bad.
I just, I had a little
nervous breakdown, that's all.
After Billy's death.
That son of a bitch.
Tokuda, my husband.
He wanted to take the money.
- What money?
- I didn't want it like that.
We had so many bills to pay.
I'll never forgive him, the bastard.
But it's not the right thing.
A mother has to bury her son.
I didn't bury him, I had.
- I'm sorry.
Guess we better check
out the old man in Lanai.
- Call Sergeant Keno.
- Mr. Stromberg, she had
a couple visitors today.
Both cops.
- Hey, Keno.
- Hey bud, how's it goin'.
- Okay.
This is Inspector Sleighton.
- How you doin'?
Come on, I got the car out here.
What you got for us, any leads?
- I got a current address
on Tokuda Takashi.
- Mm-hm.
- I asked around, and I hear the old boy's
been blowin' a lot of money lately.
Gambling.
- Hey, good work.
- That's him over there.
- I wanna talk to him.
- Okay.
- I don't believe this shit.
- Billy dead.
Fall from fire escape.
Broke his neck.
Like this.
Neighbor say, go and tell cops.
Two white men come.
They say to me and to my wife.
Leave no report.
That Billy's still alive.
They give.
10 thousand dollar.
They take Billy body away.
- We need a description.
- We need a description of these two men.
- Now--
- Down!
- Wait!
Drop it!
Hey!
How do you feel, slick?
Feel like takin' the big ride?
- The Lanai operation.
They popped our boys.
We're clean, though.
I purified the setup.
- Look, you better go
out and hire some muscle.
Someone who can't be traced to us.
I don't care what it costs.
Damn it, if it hadn't been for Carnahan,
these bloody double dealing,
this would never have happened.
Look, I think we better
suspend operations temporarily.
- Very well.
- Stromberg?
Who did it?
- A lousy policewoman.
They call her Silk.
- Ah.
No identification yet on the two hit men.
It was rented car.
Looks like they flew
from here this morning.
Hey, want some coffee?
- No thanks.
- Yashi?
- Yeah, old boy.
- We lost the old man.
- Yeah, I just heard about it,
that's why I came down,
I was worried about you.
You look beat.
- I am.
You know, somebody took the trouble
to send a couple of icemen after Tokuda.
This game is rougher than we thought.
Give me a winning shot at this.
Let's see if I can do it.
- Okay.
You needed to make pool.
You got it nailed.
- Hey.
- You okay?
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Oh.
Hey, what is this?
What's going on?
Who the fuck are you guys?
- Yeah.
Sweet shit, what a rush.
- Hey Warren.
- Yeah.
For you, there.
- Hey Stevens!
Stevens!
Hey Stevens, hey!
Slow down a second, son of a bitch.
What the hell is this I hear
about my client, Haskell, huh?
Where is he?
- He's in the morgue.
Visiting hours are flexible.
Yeah, well what
about the others, huh?
There was a whole string of 'em.
Whitehead, Rubicoff, Fresno Murchison,
that was just last week.
All innocent victims, hm?
You're bleedin'
for criminals, Travis.
Hey, they were free men, huh?
Okay, at least on a technicality, maybe.
You're talkin' about scumbags
that should've gone up.
God damn it, Stevens!
- Hey, you, don't you threaten me.
Don't sweat it, Travis.
If you're clean, you're safe.
- What was that all about?
- He's crooked.
Makes him nervous.
- Come on.
Quick, let's go.
Hey there, pretty boy.
Run baby, run!
No, no!
- Look, Silk, I know it's gonna be hard
to recognize these cold cuts,
but believe it or not,
that's the scag smuggler.
Minus one ear.
Multiple stab wounds.
- Looks like it was a little overdone.
- That's right.
- Yeah, the killer's
obviously enthusiastic
about their work.
- Yashi, any witnesses?
- Nah, they're not talkin',
they're all clammed up.
The whole neighborhood's scared.
- Not a hell of a lot more we can do here.
- Someone's collecting ears.
- You got any hunches?
- A couple.
I know sooner or later,
something's gotta give.
- Look, how about if I get
a hold of some of my people
down in Chinatown.
See if they know anything.
- That'd be great.
- Meantime, let's forget about it.
Let's go have some fun tonight.
- Tom, Tom, excuse me, Tom.
Some people over here
I'd like you to meet.
Romo and Lena, I'd like
you to meet Tom Stevens,
he's the man I was telling you about.
Romo and Lena Aligosha.
- Hello--
- Tom, a man who I think
you could possibly spend some
time with, quite probably.
He's running for councilman.
He used to be, well still
is, in fact, a detective.
A fine, upstanding man.
And we're looking to make him a councilman
in the near future.
And in fact, we're
counting on your support.
- You'll have our support.
Well, we can
probably meet to discuss this
at some further length.
- How much they need for your campaign.
- That's exactly what
we were hoping to hear.
Well, good then, we'll
look forward to seeing you,
we'll make an appointment--
- Send someone to see me.
- Lee.
- Mm.
- Only you can come.
- Wait here, I'll be right back.
- Hey!
- I'm sorry, we'll get your purse back.
No worry, I'll stay here.
Dr. Lo will take you to Chin.
- Mr. Chin.
- Buddha peace.
- I don't believe you
know Inspector Sleighton.
- Only by reputation.
Tell me.
You must be the lady called Silk.
- I am.
- This way, please.
I assure you, Captain Stevens,
Carnahan was not killed
by any of my family.
No one can tell me who
put the contract on him.
- We know he was involved
in a drug operation.
- Small time.
He worked with a Hong Kong Organization
called Gemini Syndicate.
- Never heard of him.
- Ah.
This young lady was a
friend of Mr. Carnahan.
- What is this?
- A list of names written
by Carnahan himself
only a few days ago.
- Pay dirt.
- Look at that, Billy
Shamura right up on top.
- Yeah.
- May I keep this?
- We have a description of the killers.
- Two men.
They were dressed like, like soldiers.
One of them was wearing sunglasses.
- At night?
- Yes.
One of the men was very big.
6 1/2 feet.
The other guy was big, too.
Probably six feet.
- Well, look who's here.
Come on in, Pappy.
Make yourself at home.
Hey, Pappy, what's the matter,
ain't you gettin' any kicks?
Sit.
- I oughta tear your fuckin' asses off.
You're only supposed to
supposed to scare McKenna.
And then you tag that punk
in Chinatown, didn't you?
You must be outta your fuckin' minds.
- Yeah, we must be!
- I wanna know who hired you.
- You better fuckin' get
this straight, Stevens.
I ain't tellin' you a damn thing!
This is our puppy dog.
And you ain't got nothin' to say about it.
You understand?
- You're gonna get
yourself hooked, buddy boy.
- No, we got you hooked.
- We got you by the balls, tiger.
You taught us the tricks.
We killed those dudes on your say-so.
- God damn you, Vernon.
I thought I could trust you.
- Fuckin' self-righteous moron.
You think it's all right to splat outlaws
just because they beat your wrath.
- The system's fucked, we all know that.
- They beat you at your own
game, and you can't stand it!
- God damn you, Tyler,
don't pull this crap on me!
I saved a stinky, worthless life.
If it wasn't for me,
neither one of you
shitheads would be here.
- No, no, no, no, no, uh-uh.
We ain't in Vietnam no more.
We don't owe you horse sweat!
- What the hell's the hang up here?
We got four killings, all the same touch.
It's the same killer, simple, right?
Come on guys, the chief's
hounding me about this.
- Well, we know Carnahan
was a smuggler for Gemini.
- What we don't know
is what he was moving.
It certainly wasn't just drugs.
What about the Tong?
- They don't know anything
about the Gemini Operations.
- Except that they're trying
to muscle into The States
out of Hong Kong.
- Chin gave us the name of their front.
The Eastern Star Trading Company.
- It's owned by an
international consortium
called Hong Kong Holding.
Principle shareholders, a
British citizen named Austin
lives here now.
- You're late, Captain.
All right, I want a 24-hour surveillance
put on Eastern Star.
I want you to go over the report, Stevens.
I need your appraisal.
- Ran all the names on Carnahan's list
through our computers.
We don't have anything.
- Nothing at all?
- No police records?
- They're all clean.
So, I plugged into the
county computer terminals,
asked for birth records.
Every name is in there.
- Hey Silk, check this out.
- Fullback, who's available for a tail?
- Yeah, Sly Dog here.
I got 'em.
- Okay, who followed up on this guy?
- That's me.
They're with a wiring
firm called Electric City.
They're for real.
But wait a minute,
who's this little guy?
- Oh, I followed him.
Lives in Nanakuli Street,
names Katsuyo Tanaka,
that's all I have on him.
- Oh wait a minute.
- All right, keep it goin'.
- Wait a minute.
- What do you got?
- Katsuyo Tanaka, right here on the list.
- Woo!
- There you are!
- Yashi, let's go.
Mr. Tanaka?
- Yes?
- Police.
- There's been a series of
burglaries in the building,
Mr. Tanaka.
Mind if we have a look around?
No.
- Well, it looks like
somebody's been foolin' around
with this lock.
Take a look at this.
- You seen any suspicious
looking characters
in the hallway or in the alley?
- No.
- The service personnel
come to check your plumbing
or your wiring?
- No.
Anything like that?
- What line of work
are you in, Mr. Tanaka?
- Independent trader,
financial management.
- Thank you.
You've been very kind.
Let's go, Yashi.
- What's crackin'?
- I wanna keep an eye on him.
See what he does next.
- He's watching us right now.
- Perfect.
- We got him nervous.
- Yep.
- Hello, Mr. Stromberg?
Yes?
- Tanaka here.
The police were here asking questions.
- There's nothing to
worry about, Mr. Tanaka.
But just to be on the safe side,
I think we oughta pull
you out of circulation.
- Oh you take care of me, right?
- Of course.
And in the meantime, you
cannot stay in your apartment.
I want you to leave tonight.
Go out the back way, make sure
you're not followed, right?
Right.
- Remember the Tradewinds
Emporium in Kamiah Mall?
- Yes.
I'll
send a couple of my men
to pick you up at seven o'clock.
- Okay, okay, I'll be there.
- Come in Fullback, you
got Sidewinder here.
Looks like this bozo's playin'
a hell of a waiting game.
What do you wanna do?
- Stay put.
Looks like we got some
backdoor action here.
Standby.
- Taxi.
- He's getting a cab.
I'll follow.
Stay nice and tight, Sidewinder.
- We got you, Fullback.
- Mr. Tanaka?
This way.
- Wait, police, run!
Hold it, Tanaka, police!
Hold it!
Hold it!
- Well, I lost him.
- Let's go.
- We lost Yamamoto last night.
Cops had him downtown.
- Oh, damn it.
We'll have to get to him.
I say we use a lawyer.
Get him out on bail before he talks.
- Hm, or else we shan't have much leeway.
I'm afraid not.
- All right, phone Douglas.
- All right.
- Hey babe.
What's up?
- Vernon.
Gustaf K.
USMC, LRRP.
First force recon company
attached to the first
Marine Corps division.
- I don't know what you're talkin' about.
ID verification came back
on the Kamiah Mall stiff.
- What'd you say the name was?
- Vernon, Gus.
Sound familiar?
- Should it?
Okay.
I'll bite.
Suppose you tell me what you got.
- You served in the same unit in 'Nam.
- You're kidding.
Vietnam?
I don't remember it.
- You sure about that?
- Look, I just said so, didn't I, huh?
You're talkin' about a
company roster of 150 grunts.
I don't recall the dude.
- The tunnel rats.
It's too bad.
I was hoping you could
tell me where to find them.
- Hold it, Jenny.
- No, you hold it.
Don't you think I know
when you're lying to me?
- You don't know what the
hell you're talkin' about.
- You must be in some real deep shit, huh?
- You know, I think you're
obsessed with this case.
- What are you hiding?
What is going on?
- You just back off, huh?
- Look.
Level with me, I can help you!
- Look, I don't wanna hurt you.
But if comes to it,
I'll mow you down and
not even think about it,
so just back off.
- What happened with Tanaka?
- He just got bailed out.
- Hey, this not way to airport.
- Freeze!
- Tyler!
Don't be an idiot!
- We got a make on the car,
but it hasn't been seen since.
We did put out the APBS.
- Stay with it.
If anybody needs me, I'll
be with the specials.
Give me the file.
Hey Rossad, you
wanna find car or what?
I'm over here!
- Come on, come on, hustle.
- What's with this, Mike?
Well I talked to this
guy over at, uh, Kamuela,
and he told me that he had no idea.
Oh no.
We're running out of--
- I want a dragnet!
I want you people calling every
contact you've got in town.
We gotta have help on this.
- Okay, Tanaka.
Have you figured it out yet?
The Gemini Syndicate wants you dead.
- It's impossible.
- Well why don't you tell us about it?
- I bought my new name from them.
Why would they want to kill me.
- What'd he say?
- You bought a new identity from them?
- Yes.
- Keep him talkin', I'll get a Steno.
Tell Johnson to follow up on this now.
- Boss.
Listen.
I think we got him.
- It's about time.
- Now that you gave us the
key to the whole racket.
- All right, now get this.
The US citizen, Oriental, dies in private.
- Can't be in a hospital or anyplace
where authorities can report it.
- Then Gemini steps in
and buys the identity
from the survivors in
exchange for their silence.
- Their bodies are disposed of,
and the ID is kept
alive in county records,
till it's safe to sell it off.
The Carnahan list
is a list of dead people.
- How does Tanaka fit in?
He's an
accomplice of the Yakuza.
Real name's Yamamoto.
- He gave us the names of
everyone in the organization
he came in contact with.
- Who's the top dog?
- It's gotta be this
big-shot limey Austin.
And that's where she's gotta be.
- Commander, phone, line one.
Some guy named Austin.
- Austin?
- I have your officer, and
you're not getting her back
until I have your fullest cooperation.
I have my own transportation
at the airport,
and what I need is aerial clearance
for the next 90 minutes.
- You go to hell.
- I want no interference, Commander.
I want that air strip
as clean as Good Friday.
Otherwise, the policewoman dies.
I know you're gonna try, but I
want no SWAT teams out there.
Shall we agree?
- Agreed.
- Hey, I don't trust those bullshit cops.
- They don't trust you either, jackass.
- They have to.
You know, I don't know
why they call you Silk.
- 'Cause I'm so fuckin' smooth.
- Gonna waste this bitch.
- Stop, call the pilot,
and tell him to warm up the engines.
- I'll get things moving.
- Take her away.
- Come on, baby, this is gonna be a gas.
- Unit one, ready?
Okay, we're coming.
- Unit two, hold your positions.
Come in, Sidewinder.
- Yo.
- You're on.
- That's us.
Silk, go!
- I need a horn!
Hold your fire!
Oh, Austin!
Listen to me!
Take me!
Take me!
Let the woman go and take me!
- I knew he was dumb, but I
didn't know he was this dumb.
You know, we used to crease for this guy.
- Kill him, now!
Go on!
Go!
- Go, damn it, go!

Silk
- Okay, let's go.
- Come on.
Aw, come on.
Maybe it's just
the smoke in the room.
Hey, give me another beer.
Hey, beer.
- Carnahan.
Where is he?
- He's right over there.
Come on.
This is Mr. Stromberg.
Mr. Stromberg.
- Welcome to the USA, Mr. Tanaka.
- Tanaka?
- Katsuyo Tanaka, that's your new name.
- Oh, thank you.
- Knox over here'll show you the car.
Austin wants to see you tomorrow.
- We have to be very careful.
We can't afford exposure.
This is background material.
I want you to memorize all of
the names, all of the dates.
Here's a number where you can reach us.
But don't use it unless you have to.
We'll call you.
- Tell your boss, I'm extremely
pleased with arrangements.
- Okay, do me a favor, will you?
- Anything.
- Give me the room solo for a
minute, I gotta make a call.
Go on, get outta here.
- You kept us waiting, asshole.
- Look, I got the merchandise you want.
I just got in from Hong Kong.
- Okay, I'll meet you
in an hour, same place.
What was that?
Was that the contact?
- You just be ready.
That's all you have to know.
Tell the boys it's time to go.
One of our friends is upstairs,
second door on your left.
Go on up.
Try to cool that stuff, yeah.
- I'm going in.
- Hm, not bad.
- You gotta be kidding!
This junk is shit!
- What in the fuck are you talkin' about?
Who is this asshole?
- Bad junk man, it's nothin' but dirt.
- Listen, Frampton, I can
take my smack elsewhere
if you don't appreciate it.
- Stay cool.
It stinks, it's rat poison.
- Shut him up, Reilley, will ya?
- I'm tellin' you man,
this stuff is no good!
You're gonna be sorry.
- All units come in, all units come in.
Get up.
Move.
- Shit!
Bag these suckers.
- Okay, sport.
It's all there.
- Great.
- Hey, the place is surrounded by cops!
It's a bust!
Hold it!
Give me that.
- Hold it, police!
Come on.
- Hold it!
- Hey, it's all yours.
But I take a walk.
- Hey, you all look hungry to me,
whadya say we have a party?
Bring 'em over here!
- Let's go, let's go!
Big headlines, throw a big
party, what do you say?
- Come on, help yourself,
they're hot now, they're hot.
- Mr. Firework.
- You gotta hurry.
- Pizza line, the pizza's here.
- Jenny, I knew if I put you
on top of this, you'd deliver.
Here you go, babe, have some pizza.
- Sorry to get you out of bed.
- Hey, it's okay.
I've been tryin' to nail that
snakeskin Frampton for years.
Who finally brought him down?
- I did.
Unavoidable.
- Well it would've been a bitch
to get a conviction anyway.
What about the one that flew?-
- Oh, we're looking under
all the usual rocks.
I gotta get some sleep.
Big trial tomorrow.
- Hey.
My place.
- 10 minutes.
- Good girl.
Mr. Austin.
- Ah, Stromberg.
Go on, girl.
What have we got?
Well, gold is up.
How much?
Four dollars.
Unbelievable.
How's copper?
- Up 45.
- Hm.
- And Hong Kong Holding is up 26 points.
Yamamoto came in last night.
- Uh-huh.
- We've got him in the safe house now.
- I see.
Look, you send a Telex to Tokyo
and collect final payment.
When's our next transfer?
- Friday from Singapore.
- Ah-ha.
Oh, I want a closer match up than that.
The face that you picked is a bit old.
- You probably heard about the heroin bust
on the waterfront last night.
I got a description of the carrier.
And it fits Carnahan.
- I suppose that's why he
didn't report to me today.
- We checked with his landlady.
He moved out this morning in a hurry.
- I never trusted that
little bastard, you find him.
Oh Wendy, don't, love.
Oh no!
No!
- That's not the worst of it, captain.
Poor guy lost an ear to his killers.
We had a couple cases
like, like this last month,
same touch.
- And what did uh, fingerprints turn up?
- Positive ID on the victim.
Ex-con named Fresno Murchison.
- Murchison.
Walked on a rape charge in January.
- Right.
- That was your case, wasn't it, Tom?
- Yeah, yeah, I remember it.
Come on, let's go, we're late.
- What were you doing
there so early, Mr. Makena?
- I went in to use the bathroom.
- You were alone in the gas
station with the deceased
when the robbery took place?
- Nobody was there but me.
- Now let's go over it once more.
At 6:45, a man came into the gas station,
pointed a gun at the
proprietor, Mr. Kwong,
and demanded the contents of the safe.
When Mr. Kwong hesitated,
the man shot him three times in the face
at point-blank range.
Now, you got a very good look
at the killer, didn't you?
- Uh-huh.
- You saw his face in
the morning sunlight.
- Uh-huh.
- Do you see the man in this court?
- No?
I'm sorry,
would you repeat that?
- I don't see the guy.
- Son of a bitch, he's been bought.
- For the last time.
I'm pointed at defendant Haskell.
Is this not the man you--
- Objection, Your Honor.
She's leading the witness.
- Sustained.
- No, the guy had blonde hair.
He looked like one of those surfer boys.
Order!
- Too bad, Stevens.
Thought this case was gonna be
your ticket to the front page, didn't you?
- Guess you won't be following
him to the Mayor's station,
Miss Sleighton.
Gonna be voting for an asshole.
Chump.
Come on, come on.
Come on, let's go see.
- Get away from that window!
- Why are you so jumpy?
We keep moving from one hotel
to another and back again.
And I don't even
understand what's going on.
- Some guys downstairs.
I gotta shake those bastards
or we'll never get out of Honolulu alive.
I made a quiet arrangement
with one my connections.
We're taking a freighter to Malaysia.
I want you to hold onto this for me.
- What is it?
- That's my life insurance, baby.
You know what
you're doing, don't you?
- What am I doing?
- You're breaking your own first rule.
- What's that?
- Don't let it get to you.
- Every time I think
about that prick Haskell--
- Well don't think about him.
- Come on, let's go.
- Are you coming up?
- I'll see you tomorrow.
Go ahead.
- What the fuck are you doing here?
Somebody could've followed you.
- I want more money.
- You've already been paid.
- I need more.
I'm leaving town.
- Good.
Where?
- We're gonna get a
boat and sail to Niihau.
- The forbidden island, right?
No Haoles allowed.
- Then I won't have to look
at another ugly white face
like yours again.
All units at
the setting of 26 hotel room.
We've got a mutilated
corpse, multiple stab wounds.
14, on our way.
This must be it, check out the voyeurs.
- Yep, let's go.
All right, out of the way out of the way.
You know who he is?
- No, he just dead here.
- No witnesses?
- Nothin'.
Holy shit.
- You're in deep trouble, Carnahan.
You should've asked permission
before you started your
junior import trade.
- That was small change,
I was just moonlighting!
- Make it quick.
- Listen to me, Austin!
I got a list!
Someone's keepin' it for me.
Every name is on it.
If anything happens to me--
- Hm, blackmail?
- I just want out, that's all!
Guarantee me safe passage to the mainland.
You'll never see me again.
- Aw, let him go.
Dead man this way.
- Whadya got?
- The little kids found
Houdini floatin' down here.
Looks kinda young, about
20-25 years of age.
Never seen him before.
Must've been out here a long time.
- Get some statements, will ya?
- Brown, what do you got
on the smack peddler?
- Got a report he was spotted
in Chinatown last night.
- Okay, chief wants us.
- How good is this?
- Close enough.
We got it posted all over town.
Airport, liquor stores,
massage parlors, you name it.
Hey Commander,
what do you got for us?
- Got a weird one here.
Kid found a corpse on
a beach this morning.
I want you guys to handle it.
Here's the lab report.
25 year old male named Billy Shamura.
Autopsy shows he's been
dead about two years,
and here's the funny part.
Billy Shamura is not dead.
I repeat, not dead.
I had it double checked.
According to both county
and federal records,
Billy Shamura's alive and kicking.
Taxpayer with an active
social security number.
- Let's go to work.
Well, we're looking
for a man named Tokuda, and a--
Tokuda, yeah.
Tokuda used to work with us.
He worked with us until last January.
Uh-huh.
And then he came into
some big bucks or something,
now he lives on the Island of Lanai.
- Lanai, huh?
- Yeah, Lanai.
You got an address?
I'm afraid not.
Well, I suppose
we'll just fly down,
check it out ourselves.
- Okay.
- Been a lot of help, Chief.
Thank a lot.
- Anytime.
- Bingo, Billy Shamura's mother
used to work in that stall,
but she's not there anymore.
We'll find her in a nuthouse in Waipio.
2402, Dr. Alan Greenberg, 2402.
- I heard what he said.
I'm not a biter.
Who are you?
- Mrs. Tokuda?
I'm Lieutenant Kobayashi
from the Honolulu Police.
And this is Inspector Sleighton.
- I don't know why he
should say that about me.
I haven't bitten anyone in years.
- We just wanted to ask
you a couple questions.
- I'm not crazy, and I'm not dead.
- Mrs. Tokuda.
Mrs. Tokuda.
We're here about your son, Billy Shamura.
- I've.
I was crazy then.
When the brought me here.
That's because I felt so bad.
I just, I had a little
nervous breakdown, that's all.
After Billy's death.
That son of a bitch.
Tokuda, my husband.
He wanted to take the money.
- What money?
- I didn't want it like that.
We had so many bills to pay.
I'll never forgive him, the bastard.
But it's not the right thing.
A mother has to bury her son.
I didn't bury him, I had.
- I'm sorry.
Guess we better check
out the old man in Lanai.
- Call Sergeant Keno.
- Mr. Stromberg, she had
a couple visitors today.
Both cops.
- Hey, Keno.
- Hey bud, how's it goin'.
- Okay.
This is Inspector Sleighton.
- How you doin'?
Come on, I got the car out here.
What you got for us, any leads?
- I got a current address
on Tokuda Takashi.
- Mm-hm.
- I asked around, and I hear the old boy's
been blowin' a lot of money lately.
Gambling.
- Hey, good work.
- That's him over there.
- I wanna talk to him.
- Okay.
- I don't believe this shit.
- Billy dead.
Fall from fire escape.
Broke his neck.
Like this.
Neighbor say, go and tell cops.
Two white men come.
They say to me and to my wife.
Leave no report.
That Billy's still alive.
They give.
10 thousand dollar.
They take Billy body away.
- We need a description.
- We need a description of these two men.
- Now--
- Down!
- Wait!
Drop it!
Hey!
How do you feel, slick?
Feel like takin' the big ride?
- The Lanai operation.
They popped our boys.
We're clean, though.
I purified the setup.
- Look, you better go
out and hire some muscle.
Someone who can't be traced to us.
I don't care what it costs.
Damn it, if it hadn't been for Carnahan,
these bloody double dealing,
this would never have happened.
Look, I think we better
suspend operations temporarily.
- Very well.
- Stromberg?
Who did it?
- A lousy policewoman.
They call her Silk.
- Ah.
No identification yet on the two hit men.
It was rented car.
Looks like they flew
from here this morning.
Hey, want some coffee?
- No thanks.
- Yashi?
- Yeah, old boy.
- We lost the old man.
- Yeah, I just heard about it,
that's why I came down,
I was worried about you.
You look beat.
- I am.
You know, somebody took the trouble
to send a couple of icemen after Tokuda.
This game is rougher than we thought.
Give me a winning shot at this.
Let's see if I can do it.
- Okay.
You needed to make pool.
You got it nailed.
- Hey.
- You okay?
- You all right?
- Yeah.
Oh.
Hey, what is this?
What's going on?
Who the fuck are you guys?
- Yeah.
Sweet shit, what a rush.
- Hey Warren.
- Yeah.
For you, there.
- Hey Stevens!
Stevens!
Hey Stevens, hey!
Slow down a second, son of a bitch.
What the hell is this I hear
about my client, Haskell, huh?
Where is he?
- He's in the morgue.
Visiting hours are flexible.
Yeah, well what
about the others, huh?
There was a whole string of 'em.
Whitehead, Rubicoff, Fresno Murchison,
that was just last week.
All innocent victims, hm?
You're bleedin'
for criminals, Travis.
Hey, they were free men, huh?
Okay, at least on a technicality, maybe.
You're talkin' about scumbags
that should've gone up.
God damn it, Stevens!
- Hey, you, don't you threaten me.
Don't sweat it, Travis.
If you're clean, you're safe.
- What was that all about?
- He's crooked.
Makes him nervous.
- Come on.
Quick, let's go.
Hey there, pretty boy.
Run baby, run!
No, no!
- Look, Silk, I know it's gonna be hard
to recognize these cold cuts,
but believe it or not,
that's the scag smuggler.
Minus one ear.
Multiple stab wounds.
- Looks like it was a little overdone.
- That's right.
- Yeah, the killer's
obviously enthusiastic
about their work.
- Yashi, any witnesses?
- Nah, they're not talkin',
they're all clammed up.
The whole neighborhood's scared.
- Not a hell of a lot more we can do here.
- Someone's collecting ears.
- You got any hunches?
- A couple.
I know sooner or later,
something's gotta give.
- Look, how about if I get
a hold of some of my people
down in Chinatown.
See if they know anything.
- That'd be great.
- Meantime, let's forget about it.
Let's go have some fun tonight.
- Tom, Tom, excuse me, Tom.
Some people over here
I'd like you to meet.
Romo and Lena, I'd like
you to meet Tom Stevens,
he's the man I was telling you about.
Romo and Lena Aligosha.
- Hello--
- Tom, a man who I think
you could possibly spend some
time with, quite probably.
He's running for councilman.
He used to be, well still
is, in fact, a detective.
A fine, upstanding man.
And we're looking to make him a councilman
in the near future.
And in fact, we're
counting on your support.
- You'll have our support.
Well, we can
probably meet to discuss this
at some further length.
- How much they need for your campaign.
- That's exactly what
we were hoping to hear.
Well, good then, we'll
look forward to seeing you,
we'll make an appointment--
- Send someone to see me.
- Lee.
- Mm.
- Only you can come.
- Wait here, I'll be right back.
- Hey!
- I'm sorry, we'll get your purse back.
No worry, I'll stay here.
Dr. Lo will take you to Chin.
- Mr. Chin.
- Buddha peace.
- I don't believe you
know Inspector Sleighton.
- Only by reputation.
Tell me.
You must be the lady called Silk.
- I am.
- This way, please.
I assure you, Captain Stevens,
Carnahan was not killed
by any of my family.
No one can tell me who
put the contract on him.
- We know he was involved
in a drug operation.
- Small time.
He worked with a Hong Kong Organization
called Gemini Syndicate.
- Never heard of him.
- Ah.
This young lady was a
friend of Mr. Carnahan.
- What is this?
- A list of names written
by Carnahan himself
only a few days ago.
- Pay dirt.
- Look at that, Billy
Shamura right up on top.
- Yeah.
- May I keep this?
- We have a description of the killers.
- Two men.
They were dressed like, like soldiers.
One of them was wearing sunglasses.
- At night?
- Yes.
One of the men was very big.
6 1/2 feet.
The other guy was big, too.
Probably six feet.
- Well, look who's here.
Come on in, Pappy.
Make yourself at home.
Hey, Pappy, what's the matter,
ain't you gettin' any kicks?
Sit.
- I oughta tear your fuckin' asses off.
You're only supposed to
supposed to scare McKenna.
And then you tag that punk
in Chinatown, didn't you?
You must be outta your fuckin' minds.
- Yeah, we must be!
- I wanna know who hired you.
- You better fuckin' get
this straight, Stevens.
I ain't tellin' you a damn thing!
This is our puppy dog.
And you ain't got nothin' to say about it.
You understand?
- You're gonna get
yourself hooked, buddy boy.
- No, we got you hooked.
- We got you by the balls, tiger.
You taught us the tricks.
We killed those dudes on your say-so.
- God damn you, Vernon.
I thought I could trust you.
- Fuckin' self-righteous moron.
You think it's all right to splat outlaws
just because they beat your wrath.
- The system's fucked, we all know that.
- They beat you at your own
game, and you can't stand it!
- God damn you, Tyler,
don't pull this crap on me!
I saved a stinky, worthless life.
If it wasn't for me,
neither one of you
shitheads would be here.
- No, no, no, no, no, uh-uh.
We ain't in Vietnam no more.
We don't owe you horse sweat!
- What the hell's the hang up here?
We got four killings, all the same touch.
It's the same killer, simple, right?
Come on guys, the chief's
hounding me about this.
- Well, we know Carnahan
was a smuggler for Gemini.
- What we don't know
is what he was moving.
It certainly wasn't just drugs.
What about the Tong?
- They don't know anything
about the Gemini Operations.
- Except that they're trying
to muscle into The States
out of Hong Kong.
- Chin gave us the name of their front.
The Eastern Star Trading Company.
- It's owned by an
international consortium
called Hong Kong Holding.
Principle shareholders, a
British citizen named Austin
lives here now.
- You're late, Captain.
All right, I want a 24-hour surveillance
put on Eastern Star.
I want you to go over the report, Stevens.
I need your appraisal.
- Ran all the names on Carnahan's list
through our computers.
We don't have anything.
- Nothing at all?
- No police records?
- They're all clean.
So, I plugged into the
county computer terminals,
asked for birth records.
Every name is in there.
- Hey Silk, check this out.
- Fullback, who's available for a tail?
- Yeah, Sly Dog here.
I got 'em.
- Okay, who followed up on this guy?
- That's me.
They're with a wiring
firm called Electric City.
They're for real.
But wait a minute,
who's this little guy?
- Oh, I followed him.
Lives in Nanakuli Street,
names Katsuyo Tanaka,
that's all I have on him.
- Oh wait a minute.
- All right, keep it goin'.
- Wait a minute.
- What do you got?
- Katsuyo Tanaka, right here on the list.
- Woo!
- There you are!
- Yashi, let's go.
Mr. Tanaka?
- Yes?
- Police.
- There's been a series of
burglaries in the building,
Mr. Tanaka.
Mind if we have a look around?
No.
- Well, it looks like
somebody's been foolin' around
with this lock.
Take a look at this.
- You seen any suspicious
looking characters
in the hallway or in the alley?
- No.
- The service personnel
come to check your plumbing
or your wiring?
- No.
Anything like that?
- What line of work
are you in, Mr. Tanaka?
- Independent trader,
financial management.
- Thank you.
You've been very kind.
Let's go, Yashi.
- What's crackin'?
- I wanna keep an eye on him.
See what he does next.
- He's watching us right now.
- Perfect.
- We got him nervous.
- Yep.
- Hello, Mr. Stromberg?
Yes?
- Tanaka here.
The police were here asking questions.
- There's nothing to
worry about, Mr. Tanaka.
But just to be on the safe side,
I think we oughta pull
you out of circulation.
- Oh you take care of me, right?
- Of course.
And in the meantime, you
cannot stay in your apartment.
I want you to leave tonight.
Go out the back way, make sure
you're not followed, right?
Right.
- Remember the Tradewinds
Emporium in Kamiah Mall?
- Yes.
I'll
send a couple of my men
to pick you up at seven o'clock.
- Okay, okay, I'll be there.
- Come in Fullback, you
got Sidewinder here.
Looks like this bozo's playin'
a hell of a waiting game.
What do you wanna do?
- Stay put.
Looks like we got some
backdoor action here.
Standby.
- Taxi.
- He's getting a cab.
I'll follow.
Stay nice and tight, Sidewinder.
- We got you, Fullback.
- Mr. Tanaka?
This way.
- Wait, police, run!
Hold it, Tanaka, police!
Hold it!
Hold it!
- Well, I lost him.
- Let's go.
- We lost Yamamoto last night.
Cops had him downtown.
- Oh, damn it.
We'll have to get to him.
I say we use a lawyer.
Get him out on bail before he talks.
- Hm, or else we shan't have much leeway.
I'm afraid not.
- All right, phone Douglas.
- All right.
- Hey babe.
What's up?
- Vernon.
Gustaf K.
USMC, LRRP.
First force recon company
attached to the first
Marine Corps division.
- I don't know what you're talkin' about.
ID verification came back
on the Kamiah Mall stiff.
- What'd you say the name was?
- Vernon, Gus.
Sound familiar?
- Should it?
Okay.
I'll bite.
Suppose you tell me what you got.
- You served in the same unit in 'Nam.
- You're kidding.
Vietnam?
I don't remember it.
- You sure about that?
- Look, I just said so, didn't I, huh?
You're talkin' about a
company roster of 150 grunts.
I don't recall the dude.
- The tunnel rats.
It's too bad.
I was hoping you could
tell me where to find them.
- Hold it, Jenny.
- No, you hold it.
Don't you think I know
when you're lying to me?
- You don't know what the
hell you're talkin' about.
- You must be in some real deep shit, huh?
- You know, I think you're
obsessed with this case.
- What are you hiding?
What is going on?
- You just back off, huh?
- Look.
Level with me, I can help you!
- Look, I don't wanna hurt you.
But if comes to it,
I'll mow you down and
not even think about it,
so just back off.
- What happened with Tanaka?
- He just got bailed out.
- Hey, this not way to airport.
- Freeze!
- Tyler!
Don't be an idiot!
- We got a make on the car,
but it hasn't been seen since.
We did put out the APBS.
- Stay with it.
If anybody needs me, I'll
be with the specials.
Give me the file.
Hey Rossad, you
wanna find car or what?
I'm over here!
- Come on, come on, hustle.
- What's with this, Mike?
Well I talked to this
guy over at, uh, Kamuela,
and he told me that he had no idea.
Oh no.
We're running out of--
- I want a dragnet!
I want you people calling every
contact you've got in town.
We gotta have help on this.
- Okay, Tanaka.
Have you figured it out yet?
The Gemini Syndicate wants you dead.
- It's impossible.
- Well why don't you tell us about it?
- I bought my new name from them.
Why would they want to kill me.
- What'd he say?
- You bought a new identity from them?
- Yes.
- Keep him talkin', I'll get a Steno.
Tell Johnson to follow up on this now.
- Boss.
Listen.
I think we got him.
- It's about time.
- Now that you gave us the
key to the whole racket.
- All right, now get this.
The US citizen, Oriental, dies in private.
- Can't be in a hospital or anyplace
where authorities can report it.
- Then Gemini steps in
and buys the identity
from the survivors in
exchange for their silence.
- Their bodies are disposed of,
and the ID is kept
alive in county records,
till it's safe to sell it off.
The Carnahan list
is a list of dead people.
- How does Tanaka fit in?
He's an
accomplice of the Yakuza.
Real name's Yamamoto.
- He gave us the names of
everyone in the organization
he came in contact with.
- Who's the top dog?
- It's gotta be this
big-shot limey Austin.
And that's where she's gotta be.
- Commander, phone, line one.
Some guy named Austin.
- Austin?
- I have your officer, and
you're not getting her back
until I have your fullest cooperation.
I have my own transportation
at the airport,
and what I need is aerial clearance
for the next 90 minutes.
- You go to hell.
- I want no interference, Commander.
I want that air strip
as clean as Good Friday.
Otherwise, the policewoman dies.
I know you're gonna try, but I
want no SWAT teams out there.
Shall we agree?
- Agreed.
- Hey, I don't trust those bullshit cops.
- They don't trust you either, jackass.
- They have to.
You know, I don't know
why they call you Silk.
- 'Cause I'm so fuckin' smooth.
- Gonna waste this bitch.
- Stop, call the pilot,
and tell him to warm up the engines.
- I'll get things moving.
- Take her away.
- Come on, baby, this is gonna be a gas.
- Unit one, ready?
Okay, we're coming.
- Unit two, hold your positions.
Come in, Sidewinder.
- Yo.
- You're on.
- That's us.
Silk, go!
- I need a horn!
Hold your fire!
Oh, Austin!
Listen to me!
Take me!
Take me!
Let the woman go and take me!
- I knew he was dumb, but I
didn't know he was this dumb.
You know, we used to crease for this guy.
- Kill him, now!
Go on!
Go!
- Go, damn it, go!
