Rush Hour

Forgive me, Consul Han...

...but I believe we can ill afford to lose men of your high character.

And speaking as a friend...

...who's fought side by side with you for 15 years...

...I will sorely miss the unshakable support...

...you've given the Royal Hong Kong Police.

And so on behalf of all Brits...

...who have ever carried the shield in Hong Kong, we shall miss you.

We wish you happiness...

...as you take up your new post in the United States.

Ladies and gentlemen, Consul Han.

Consul Han.

Thank you, Thomas.

Now, you know Thomas is not going to make this evening easy.

Excuse me.

Commander Griffin...

...I am pleased to be able to leave you and Hong Kong...

...with a special gift tonight.

Earlier this evening, Detective Inspector Lee...

...and his special task force have once and for all...

...crushed the Juntao criminal organization and reclaimed artifacts...

...from 5000 years of China's heritage.

This is the kind of legacy I dreamt about.

Hong Kong forever.

To Hong Kong forever.

Hong Kong forever.

Soo Yung.

Stupid fool! Get the hell out of my way!

Man, are you crazy?

- Shoot! You moron!

Clive, what's up, man?

You're late.

You're late.

- I'm late? - Yeah, you're late.

You're late, man. I've been waiting in the back for over an hour.

- I was in the diner. - Man, I told you in the back.

Think I would do this shit out front?

- I'm gonna get busted. - You weren't in the diner.

I said in the back of the d- It don't even matter.

I'm late, you late. Let's do this. What's that, a gun?

Put that away. How many people you killed this year?

- Stop it, man. Let's do it. Come on. - Don't be late again.

I ain't gonna be late. Come on. What we got?

Hoo-hoo.

That's tight. That's beautiful. That's nice. What's that?

- That's C-4. - That's C-4?

That's C-4.

- Oh, shit. - What's the problem?

No problem. I been looking everywhere for this shit.

Man, how the hell you find some C-4?

You don't know how you make me feel, man. The Iraqis can't even get this shit.

- Where'd you get this from? - It's a hot ticket.

You don't know how happy you made me.

You got what I want. Let me go get that money, man.

Step away from the car.

Hey, officers.

Put your hands above your heads. Just do it now.

Ain't no problem here. Why y'all messing with us for?

All right, take it easy.

- You don't wanna do that. - Yes, I do.

- No, he don't. He's playing. - No, I ain't playing.

- Yes, he is, officer. - No, I'm not. I'm not playing!

- Drop the gun! - He's just my cousin. We're just talking.

Get back in the car and leave.

Can't do that, buddy.

I'll blow his head all over the parking lot!

- Get in the car and buy some doughnuts! See? You made him mad.

Let me just talk to him. All right?

Hey! Don't move!

All right. All right. Everything cool now.

He down. The gun down. Now get back in the car and just leave.

- Put your hands on your head! - Everything's cool, officer.

Do it now!

My arm!

Didn't I tell you to get in the car?

Man, stop it! I got C-4 in the trunk!

Yeah!

Hoo-hoo.

Clive, guess what, man.

I forgot to tell you. I'm L.A.P.D.

You under arrest.

Soo Yung, come on, we're gonna be late.

Let's go.

Excuse me.

- What? - Telephone. China.

Soo Yung, I love you. Have a nice day.

Will you be home after school?

No.

I am going to pick you up myself.

- Bye. - Bye.

Hello?

Hello?

Oh, when you walk by every night

Talking sweet and looking fine

I get kinda hectic inside

Baby, I'm so into you

Darling, if you only knew

All the things that flow through my mind

But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

When I close my eyes

You come and you take me

On and on and on

So deep in my daydreams

But it's just a sweet, sweet fantasy, baby

Is there a problem, officer?

No problem.

Just rush hour.

Help!

Security's in place? Yes.

You're sure all the exhibits will be ready this weekend?

Yes, sir. Your opening remarks are scheduled for 7:30.

Fine. - Excuse me, Consul Han.

I'm Warren Russ with the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

This is Agent Whitney. We need to speak with you in private, sir.

Excuse me.

I know this is difficult...

...but I want you to know we'll get your daughter back.

Yes, but will you get her back alive?

We have the best agents in the world in this house, on those streets.

I would like one of my people to help.

Let me assure you, consul, the FBI considers this a top priority.

We have plenty of people on the case.

Mr. Russ, I am not an American.

My daughter, she is not an American.

- I understand that, sir, but- - He's already on the plane.

I trust you will treat him with the same courtesy...

...as you have shown me.

Yes, sir.

Ten people jumped out.

I started handling them. Throwing them everywhere.

Then two stupid cops came out of nowhere...

...messed everything up. Had to save their life.

It might be in the paper. It ain't in there. Anyway, I save their life.

I start running to get the bomb-

- I can't believe you went without me. - I'll talk to y'all later, all right?

I'll tell you the best part after work.

This is why nobody will work with you...

...why you're the only cop in the department without a partner.

Johnson, look, first of all, if you wanna go out on a date with me...

...you have to wait like every other woman.

And second of all, I work alone.

I don't need no partner and I ain't gonna never have no partner.

- Did Kojak have a partner? - The fat guy.

He wasn't never with him. Look, did Columbo?

Captain ordered me to go with you...

...because you needed backup, but once again...

...you screwed me and screwed yourself.

Look, Johnson, it's dangerous out there. It's safer for you to be behind the desk.

We were supposed to be on the same team.

Team? Johnson, this is the L.A.P.D.

We the most hated cops in the free world.

My mama ashamed of me. Tells everybody I'm a drug dealer.

Ain't no team. This is a pit stop for me. I'm on the verge of leaving you behind.

Actually, you're on the verge of being suspended.

Have a nice day.

Johnson.

Somebody told you I was being suspended?

Quit playing, girl.

I know you playing.

Who told you I was being suspended?

This is a problem. That's all I need...

...some foreigner getting his head blown off and creating an international incident.

What can we do? He's on his way.

Call the field office. Have them send a rookie.

We'll have him escort this guy around a few days...

...pretend to follow leads, show him some sights...

- ... keep him out of our way. - You want to do that to one of our men?

What do you suggest?

Well, as long as we're gonna humiliate someone...

...might as well be L.A.P.D.

Even if I had an extra man, who would want such a bullshit assignment?

Well, it's a disgrace to me.

It's a disgrace to my department.

It's a disgrace to-

Dan, I'm sending someone right over.

Captain, I know you read the paper, but they lying.

I wouldn't do nothing like that. You know how the paper is. They just want a story.

Two officers were shot. One man lost a pinkie.

But didn't nobody die.

- You destroyed half a block. - That block was messed up.

- You lost a lot of evidence. - We got a little left.

What you did was dangerous and completely against policy.

And not only that...

...you did a good job.

What?

Everyone here is so image-conscious.

Everybody's so afraid of their own goddamn shadow.

It's nice to meet an L.A. detective who's willing to lay it on the line.

Captain, that's the same way I feel. That's what I've been trying to tell everybody.

Every so often, we have to let the general public know...

...that we can still blow shit up.

You goddamn right. That's the only way I work.

- Mm. - So I ain't getting suspended?

- Are you kidding? - I don't even know why I said that.

I just got a call from the FBI.

The daughter of a Chinese diplomat...

...was kidnapped this morning, and they want you on the case.

- FBI want me? - That's right.

- Stop lying. - I don't lie.

- Tell the truth. - I'm telling the truth.
