:28:01
And if I can nail the son of a bitch,
and he's got face, I get face.
:28:05
And if I get face, I can
win the war in Chinatown.
:28:09
Captain, why did you call me?
What do you want?
:28:14
I'll tell you what I want.
:28:16
I want the rice to boil over in Chinatown.
:28:20
I wanna change things.
:28:23
Why? Is Chinatown so bad the way it is?
:28:25
It stinks. The Harry Yungs
got this place locked up like a jail.
:28:29
You got a slave population of sweatshop
women working for 12 cents a piece.
:28:34
You got shopkeepers paying bribes
to every punk that comes along.
:28:37
You got 30 people livin' in a room.
:28:40
You got the highest rate of TB and
mental illness in any city neighbourhood.
:28:47
- You got a male population...
- Look, I'm a reporter.
:28:52
I am "not" a crusader.
:28:56
You're an actress. I can help you.
:29:00
- How?
- I'll give you hard facts off the record.
:29:03
You do an exposé on Chinatown. One
week you do the gambling connection.
:29:08
The next week you do
the youth gang extortion racket.
:29:11
You move up the ladder,
to the bosses that own the places.
:29:14
You splash their faces on the tube, take
a little journalistic licence, you know?
:29:19
Each week we peel
another layer off the onion.
:29:22
If it was a white broad, they'd say it's
racist, but with you, it's on the up and up.
:29:27
This is outrageous. There are
boundaries, Captain White. Ethics!
:29:31
The press is independent.
It's not just another undercover cop.
:29:34
What you're asking for is absurd.
It's almost criminal.
:29:38
You wouldn't know a real criminal if one
popped out the toilet and bit your ass.
:29:42
I don't think there's any
point in going on with this.
:29:45
You sit down, you get smart,
and you listen to me.
:29:54
Go fuck yourself.
