You're talking about starting a war.
Look around.
The war's already started.
The Fun Hai tried to dice my dad.
Why would they attack us?
They made a deal with the Long Zii.
They need to pay tonight!
A debt's a debt. I'm just a messenger.
White man working for the chinks?
I thought you had some Irish pride.
Sun Yang threatened to kill me.
My sister offered to marry him.
She gave up her life to save me.
Why are you even here, Lee?
Why does a Southern boy
have to come all the way out here
to become a cop?
Father Jun, thank you for receiving me.
Stay on your feet for two rounds,
and I'll let you walk out of here a new man.
Leary, stop!
You're gonna kill him!
No, Bill.
You're gonna kill him.
What did he say?
It doesn't matter what he said.
They're going to kill me.
30 years I was one of the most respected men
in Chinatown.
Now I'm hiding out like some low-level onion.
It's just temporary.
There was a time I could walk down the street
and not once fear
a hatchet in my back
because the street feared me.
Now...
there's no dignity in this.
This will pass.
Things will change.
You'll see.
Come on.
Let's get you into bed.
I guess we'll stay here a little while
until we figure out a way forward.
You're safe here.
I'm not safe anywhere.
As usual, Ah Toy, you have an eye for quality.
This one's special.
Raised from birth to be a concubine
for the warlord Dong Zhuo.
Bred for fucking.
Buy her, and you can make up
whatever bullshit story you want.
My girls sell themselves.
This one does have potential, though.
The men get lonely on the salt.
I need to keep them happy. You need to keep me happy.
And I'm not.
Wait.
- How old is she? - I don't know.
17, 18.
Father sold her to me to settle a debt.
She doesn't talk much, but, uh, it's not a problem
for most customers.
Even better, she's never been touched.
You know how rare it is...
Pretty one like this and still a virgin?
She's double the price, of course, but I imagine
you could charge five times that.
Where is she from?
Some dried-up fishing village in Shandong Province.
Yu... Yumi-something?
Yumingzui?
You know it?
Well, if you want her...
better decide fast.
This one's already sold.
Daddy, are you okay?
Hmm? What's that?
You've hardly said a word to me all evening.
Haven't I? I'm sorry, dear.
I guess I am a little distracted.
Can I help?
It's nothing to concern yourself with.
Just some minor business issues.
The cable car commission?
Talk to me, Daddy.
Blake promised me that contract.
He swore it was mine.
And I staked my entire business on his word.
I took positions.
If it doesn't come through soon,
I will be forced to declare bankruptcy.
I could lose the house.
Your mother's house.
I thought it was in process.
That's just another way of saying it hasn't happened.
I can talk to him.
I don't think talk is what he's after.
Excuse me?
I married the man.
What else would you have me do?
This isn't easy for me, either.
How do you think it feels to ask you to...
To be a whore.
He's your husband.
And I'm your daughter.
Shame on you, Daddy.
Good?
Good.
Oh, before I forget...
For your headaches.
The herbalist said two pinches into a glass of water.
- Thank you. - Don't mention it.
Hello, Ah Toy.
- And this is? - Not on the menu.
Hey, you know I like them experienced.
How else am I gonna learn?
It's okay.
You had a long, hard journey.
I know.
But you're safe here with me.
I promise.
A warm bath...
Good rest.
Soon you may remember how to smile.
Come on.
Anything else I can get you?
- Bill. - Aye?
Oh.
No, no.
I'm done.
Here.
- You got a problem, friend? - No.
No problem... friend.
You been sitting there staring at me all night.
You got something you want to say to me, say it.
Can I buy you a drink, Sergeant O'Hara?
I'm drunk enough.
An Irishman turning down free libations?
Shit.
I don't know if that's a world I want to live in.
Well, maybe you should get to the fucking point.
You know, an Irishman I once knew, he told me...
"In Ireland, we only drink
"on days starting with a T.
"That'd be Tuesday, 'Tursday, ' today, tomorrow,
'Taturday, ' and 'Tunday.'"
You been waiting there all night
just to tell me a bad fucking joke?
This here ain't no joke.
- What the hell is this? - Your boy Lee.
Murdered two men in Georgia. Bullshit.
Shot one, cut the other's throat.
His own kin too.
Then he just disappeared.
He's a smart kid.
Got out pretty clean.
But there's always a trail, isn't there?
And I followed it...
clear across the country...
'cause that's what I do.
Now, I have to admit,
I did not expect to find him wearing a badge.
That complicates things a little.
Now, I have the utmost respect
for law enforcement, Sergeant...
but murder's murder...
and a bounty's a bounty.
So what I need here...
what I'm respectfully requesting
from you, Sergeant...
Is just some cooperation.
And for that...
I am willing
to split said bounty.
From what I hear,
you could use it.
- $500? - Keep it down.
We don't want anyone else getting ambitious.
Mm.
50/50.
Less my expenses, of course.
You know what?
I think I will have that drink.
Ah Sahm.
My brother.
The extra chop is from Yat Sen
to make up for last week's shortfall.
Nice. You're getting the hang of it.
Let's get you a drink and some sticky.
Actually, I have to get going.
I'm meeting someone.
You already got a girl somewhere.
Nah, I'll leave the girls to you.
Me, I like a woman.
You can have them. Those bitches bite.
Seriously, though, I'm glad you're getting some sticky
before the blood jam begins.
What are you talking about?
