Tiger Claws

Shit.

I've lost them.

They can't be far.

Hey, baby.

Wait!

Wait!

Back off.

Leave me alone. - Shut up.

Whores are all the same.

You're gonna get it like all the rest.

Picked the wrong woman this time.

You okay?

Yeah, where the hell you've been?

I didn't know where you were.

Yeah, it's about time you got here.

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

I'm just sick and tired of dressing up like a whore

and working on these two-bit cases.

She's a cop.

3960 White Plains Road.

- Tarek, you know I can't give you that much money

without the sergeant's approval.

- I need the $25,000 or my cover will be blown.

- Why don't you take me out for lunch, and then I'll see

if I can get the sergeant to change his mind.

I'd love to.

But not today, maybe next week.

Oh, excuse me.

47 George 10.

Dr. Matthews!

- Hello, Linda. - Hi.

Yesterday, they brought in the body of a martial artist

by the name of Hatanaka.

I've got the report right here.

Do you mind if I borrow it?

Sure.

- I'm hoping this will help get me reassigned.

There's not much to it.

Looked like just another dead-end case.

Well, you never know.

Thanks, Doc.

No problem.

Right on time, just like I said.

Hey, look.

My friend tells me you're the man.

Hey, that's Tarek.

What the hell is he doing here?

Let's see the product.

Not 'til I see some money.

You said this man was cool.

What are we gonna do now?

This is our bust.

Let's take it.

Wait a minute, tough guy.

Well?

Excellent.

Now let's have some cash.

Guns down now, all of you!

You're all under arrest.

Move, now!

Move, move.

Against the car, move.

Police! Stay where you are!

Stay where you are!

See? Come on.

They're coming around. Go.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop or I'll shoot!

- Holy shit. - Whoo-wee.

That was my car!

Damn it!

Tarek, it was my case!

You almost got us killed!

We needed him alive.

Do you realize what you've done?

I'll have you suspended

for interfering in this investigation!

- I had everything under control until you guys showed up.

Forget it, Tarek.

Nice try, but not this time.

You're taking a fall on this one!

We'll see about that.

Right.

Look at this mess.

See.

See.

See!

What you've just seen is martial arts at its best.

It takes years and years of traditional training

to reach this condition.

In order to be the best, you gotta train with the best,

and that's me, Bill Pickells.

I'll be doing seminars across the country,

in towns closest to you.

Check your local newspapers and TV for the best dates.

'Til next week, this is Bill Pickells

saying keep on kicking.

And cut, Billy.

Excellent show, excellent show, Bill.

That's a wrap.

Hey, didn't I tell you never

to shoot the left side of my face?

No, didn't I?

Well, jerk, you're out of here!

Billy, I have to show you something.

Here's that tape you asked for.

About time! Oh, by the way,

get those stupid plants off the stage!

I told you I don't want anything in here taller than I am.

- Billy, we have to know -- - No later. Later!

Asshole.

Yeah, in this segment of the show,

I'm gonna teach you just a little bit

of street self defense.

How to protect yourself out there in the jungle,

because that's exactly what the streets are.

It's a jungle. There's a predator and there is the prey.

Yeah, I'm just watching it now.

Excellent, excellent.

What else? I did it.

Enter.

Okay, just hold on for a minute.

Billy, what do you think about this

for tomorrow night's show?

Yeah, it looks good, I like that.

Do you want to try it on?

I'll try it on later.

Yeah?

- Fine. - Hawaii?

Are you out of your mind?

I'm doing a show here.

No way, we got to work something on that.

All of a sudden, he's the prey and you're the predator.

Come on!

Down here on the beach.

Yeah, enter.

Hey listen, let me call you back, eh?

What?

Anyway.

Remember, you must have confidence in yourself.

You must know what you can do and be prepared to do it.

Don't let these people

push you around.

I don't let them push me around.

I'm a fifth dan black belt, I'm a champion,

and I'm still pretty, because I know how to defend myself

out there in the streets.

And I'm here to teach you guys how to defend yourselves

out there in the streets, so that you can be like I am.

Now, we're running out of a little bit of time,

so until next week,

remember: you follow my ways,

no one will push you around.

Until then, you keep on kicking.

This is Bill Pickells saying see you all then.

We are talking to Detective Henderson

at the CBA television studios,

where Bill Pickells, a renowned martial artist and TV host

was brutally murdered just a few hours ago.

Tell me, Detective, is this an isolated murder,

or is it connected with the other martial arts murder

that occurred just four days ago?

- Well, all I can say is that both victims

were martial art champions.

Are there any suspects?

- Serial killers are generally hard to find,

but we have some strong leads,

and I predict we'll have this Death Dealer

in custody very soon.

Well, it's confirmed.

Another serial killer known as the Death Dealer

is stalking the streets of New York.

- Is there anything else you didn't tell them,

or jeez, do I have to wait until the follow up at 11?

- I thought I -- - No, you didn't think!

The media are having a field day

over this little Death Dealer comment.

And the commissioner is all over my ass about it!

Excuse me, Sergeant?

What do you want, Masterson?

It's regarding the Death Dealer murders.

I've taken the liberty of doing a little investigating

on my own, and I have a theory about the Killer.

Oh, give me a break.

Right now, I'll take anything I can get.

- Well, as you know, both victims suffered similar injuries.

Now, the unique thing about these injuries

is that there was virtually no external damage,

yet the internal organs were crushed.

Forensic confirms that the only external damage found

was the markings on the face.

Go on.

To have such precision,

and to be able to inflict this amount of damage,

it leads me to believe that this Killer

is a highly trained martial artist.

Oh, come off it.

Martial arts is a bunch of crap.
