I don't know, but if I get it, shoot me.

I'm pleased to see that the press is here,
and for their benefit, I'd like to remind them
that we are here today to celebrate relief
in the form of the Vietnamese Anti-Communist Relief Fund.
Hi.
You look nice.
Thanks.
So do you.
Uh, what's, uh, what's this?
Don't you like Vietnamese food?
My parents always made a federal case about it.
They said I had to eat it just to be nice to Vinh.
So, of course, I had to be a jerk.
Besides, it's always seemed kind of weird.
What about American food?
You don't think a chili dog's weird?
Look, you can't be scared of chao tom.
It's just shrimp over sugar cane.
And this is banh beo.
It's rice flour with shredded shrimp.
Chao ong,Mr. Phong!
Long time no see, eh?
What are you doing this far from the farm?
Who's that guy?
Mr. Lawndale?
He owns Westpac Medical Supply.
He arranges the shipping for my father's relief program.
Why? Um, nothing.
LAWNDALE: Let me buy you a coffee.
Jesus Christ.
Someone broke in last night and opened a crate.
It contained 50 rifles and 20,000...
Thank you.
50 rifles and 20,000 rounds of ammunition.
Nothing was taken.
It might have been a doper, we get a few of those.
But it might not have been.
I don't want anything to compromise the movement.
Colonel, I'm not worried about the movement.
I'm worried about me.
But we have a common bond.No, no.
I have 30 SAM missiles, 1,000 M-16s,
and half a million rounds... of ammunition.
And I've moved them.
Where? My people are waiting for the weapons.
They'll just have to wait a little longer, that's all.
Do you ever think about the future?
You mean what do I wanna be when I grow up?
Yeah.
[chuckles] I don't know.
I used to wanna be a veterinarian,
you know, on a farm.
You know, horses and cows.
You? On a farm?
Yeah. I used to want to live in the country.
But you know what a farm vet does?
Helps cows get well so they live long enough
to be turned into Quarter Pounders.
It's ridiculous.
How'd you get to be so cynical?
Practice.
Can I ask you, um, something personal?
Sure.
Uh...
where's... where's the bathroom?
Thanks.
What are you doing?
Um, checking out this map.
I wanted to see if I could find out where Vinh came from.
My parents just pulled into the driveway.
You better go out the back door.
Didn't they know I was coming over?
Why did you risk that?
Just hurry.
Quick. Quick.
Bye.
Damn.
[thunder]
[firecrackers popping]
[firecrackers popping in distance]
[popping continues]
[popping stops]
What was it?
I don't know. I think they're inside.
Cover me. Okay.
What the heck is going on here?
[thunder]
- Fireworks. - You gotta be kidding me.
Hey! What are you doing out there?!
[pounding, shouting]
Come on, open the door!
Here we go.
- Hey! - Hey!
- Hey, stop it! - Stop it!
[guards yelling]
[indistinct chatter]
FIREMAN: Watch your backs! Coming through!
Come on, guys! Let's clean it over here! Clean it!
Where the hell were you guys?!
I don't know, sir. I was around the other side of the building.
What do you think I pay you for?
I can't be in two places at once.
Look at this.
What's that?
Give me that goddamn thing!
Son of a bitch!
FIREMAN: Let's get some ladders over here!
All right, we're not gonna need that line!
[thunder]
FIREMAN: Hose that right there.
All right, you guys, come on.
[firemen talking]
You moved everything out, right?
So no one can find anything. We're safe
What makes you think you're so safe?
What do you mean by that?
Now, look, we're in this together, right?
We share a common bond, remember?
If it happened to one of us,
it can happen to the other.
Americans, they're all crazy.
Get Tina and go to Tang's house.
You promised me.
No more war!
It was all over!
You said no more war!
Daddy, what's going on?
Just go to your Uncle Tang's house right away.
Why? What's happening?
Nothing.
Then why do I have to go?
[knocking]
Who is it?
Detective Lucero.
Detective Lucero, Mr. Kelly.
Remember me? Yeah.
I'd like to talk to your son for a minute,
if I could, please.
It's been raining. Huh.
All right, now listen to me.
I don't like bullshit. Not from anybody, okay?
Least of all from someone I've gone out on a limb for.
Now, I can't pin that fire on you right now,
but I know you set it.
And that makes it a whole different ballgame.
You don't go around setting fires.
I don't care what your problem is.
Somebody had to shake their tree.
You said so yourself.
Oh, yeah.
By the rules!
But you don't like rules, do you?
No, you're above the rules, right?
Well, let me give you a piece of news.
I was the one guy in the universe that listened when you talked.
Now there's nobody.
[car door opens and closes]
[creaking]
Brian?
Jeez.
What are you doing here?
Oh, man,
God, you're soaked.
Let me get you a towel.
Here we go.
Just dry off there.
Everything's falling apart.
Sit down.
I was supposed to go to my uncle's house.
My father told me to go.
He's in some kind of trouble.
And I'm really scared.
I'm sorry.
What do you have to be sorry for?
'Causing you trouble.
My friendship with an American boy is the least of my troubles.
[crying]
You know, I really like you.
What time is it?
Almost 6:00.
This is still damp.
I have something here you could try.
Here you go.
I'll give this back to you later.
No problem.
Thanks, Brian.
What's this?
Uh, it's nothing. It's an old lighter.
This is my father's.I don't know...
I got it at some army surplus store.
The American ambassador gave this to my father in 1972.
It has his name on it.
[groans]
Any way I try and explain it, it's gonna come out all wrong.
Try.
[speaking Vietnamese]
Where were you? Where did you go?
Do you have any idea what we were going through?
Where were you?
What happened to Vinh?
Why ask me about that now?
What happened to Vinh?
Who have you been speaking to?
How did he die?
He killed himself.
How would I know more than you?
It wasn't about guns, Daddy?
It wasn't about Mr. Lawndale?
It's his brother, isn't it?
All of this.
I don't blame him for what he's done.
I'd have done anything.
Anything.
Vinh Kelly's death was an accident.
You have to believe one thing about me.
Whatever I have done,
I've done for our Vietnamese nation.
His brother.
You don't know what the boy's done.
Leave me now.
I have something to take care of.
He's a kid? And he did it alone?
Christ.
Well, as long as he's keeping it between him and us,
you know what has to be done.
No, Ed, I'm out.
[click]
Well, I'm not.
Hi, Nick.
[revving]
Hey, buddy!
Christ!
[revving]
Mr. Lawndale wants to see you.
Yeah? What for?
He wants to talk.
Yeah, right.
Uhh!
Jeez!
So, why were they following you?
They said Lawndale wanted to see me.
Mm-hmm. That's not what they say.
They say you called them
"fucking faggot, slant-eyed gooks."
That really sounds just like me, you know?
Oh, yeah?
You ready to tell me about the fire?
What fire?
Are you scared, Brian?
No.
Yeah.
You ought to be.
- Motorcycles, out of nowhere. - Don't think about it.
- Two guys try and mow me down. - Sweetheart, just...
Look at this.
It's trashed.
It's just a skateboard, sweetheart.
The most important thing is that you're all right.
Who was the other guy?
The one that got lucky and rode off?
What other guy?
Come on. You don't think he'd be protecting you right now, do you?
You can bet your ass he wouldn't!
[speaking Vietnamese]
[both laughing]
[TV playing]
MAN ON TV: Give me a B.
Fellas, this is Detective Oliver.
Let's all get to know each other.
Nice to meet you.
So...
who paid you guys to run down that kid?
Trac or Lawndale?
Who's Lawndale?
Who's Trac?
Yabbo. Come on, man, wake up.
Wake up, all right?
Yabbo.
Wake up.
You can fix this, right?
Brian, it's dead.
Okay, then I need a new deck, right?
Street wheels, lapper, nose guard, rails.
Just make sure the trucks are real tight.
Who are you?
I don't have time to joke around.
The lawyers are getting pretty steamed,
but I told them they were still in processing.
Okay, we're gonna go through this
one more time for the detective here.
The whole story.
Hey.
[speaking Vietnamese]
[laughing]
[speaking Vietnamese]
Lawndale.
That's all. Thanks, guys.
You've given us everything we need.
Book 'em, Harv.
No, no, no, no. Black ones. These.
Brian, it's a rougher ride on the street.
All they are is faster.
Right.
You got it.
[knocking] Brian?
Detective Lucero's here. Wake up.
A little tighter.
Okay, good.
It's beautiful.
Thanks.
Thank you, man.
All right, call the guys, right?Right, I'm on it.
[telephone ringing]
Hello?
[ringing]
Hello?
Jabbo. Hey, what's up?
You still got the keys to the truck?
Yeah, I got the keys to the truck.
You wanna make a delivery right now?
No, man. Who can eat a pizza at 6:00 in the morning?
It's time to scramble.
Gotta round up the guys. Brian needs us.
Yeah, right.
Gremic!
Yo, Gremic!
Come on!
Whoa!
Thanks for coming, man.
It's too early, man.
[chatting, indistinct]
I don't think you should go to Bangkok.
We're in this together.
We killed Vinh, and he only meant well.
We killed Bobby Nguyen.
He started out a good boy,
and you got to him.
Look, no one knows anything except a kid on a skateboard.
My daughter knows as well.
Are you going to kill her, too?
Daddy, a police car just pulled up outside. Aah!
Here we go, Vinh.
Go out and talk to them!
[Tina screams]
[gunshot]
[Tina screams]
You all right? Yeah.
Hey! Don't try anything!
Come on! Come on!
Shit! Into the police car! Come on!
[shouting in Vietnamese]
Call 911, get an ambulance.
Don't die! Help me!
Get in!
Down on the floor!
[engine starting]
[tires screeching]
Damn!
Here, let me.
This is, uh, this is against the law.
Mind if I drive?
Airport! Freeway! Come on! Come on!
Get down! Now you stay down there!
I don't wanna hurt you, but if you get up again, dammit, I will!
Turn left, damn it!
Go around these cars! Go around them!
Get out of the way! Get out of the way!
Put the roof lights on! Come on! Come on!
Lights! Lights!
[siren wailing]
Now you stay put!
Not the wipers! The lights! The lights!
Southbound on Harbor Boulevard, approaching Katella.
I'm in a maroon Toronado, and I'm requesting assistance.
[chatting]
Yo, bro!
Yabbo. Yeah.
This is it. You're after a stolen police car on Harbor,
heading south near Katella. That's it.
Okay.
You got your team, I got mine.
Hey! Let's go, everybody!
We gotta go to Katella and Harbor.
All right, let's go!
- There he is. - Got 'em.
Hold on.
Jeez!
Right up here. Pull in here.
[tires screeching]
Hold it! Where are you going?
Are you looking? Yep.
Whoa!
[tires screeching]
Jeez!
I'll get out and check the next lane.
No, don't!
Lawndale's gonna be pissed.
Now! Go!
There he is.
COMPUTER VOICE: Door is ajar.
[horn honking] Whoa! Whoa!
Go around it! Around it! Go!
[horns blaring]
LUCERO: Oh, come on.
Brian, don't!
No, don't! Brian!
[horns blaring]
[tires screeching, horns honking]
Move! Outta the way!
Hey, cop. Police.
Yeah, police. Move 'em out! That's right.
Thank you.
[horns honking, tires screeching]
Get up there. See that road? Turn right!
[horns honking, tires screeching]
Oh, my God.
Go through them.
- No! No! - Go through them!
Run 'em down!
I said run 'em down!No! No!
No! No!
[tires screeching]
Whoo!
[boys cheering]
[cheering]
Goddamn kids!
You see that intersection? Go through the intersection!
It's a freeway or something!
[horns honking, tires screeching]
[horns honking]
Up on the curb! The diamond lane!
Go on, get up there!
Cut in front of this car! Come on!
What the?
Hey! Hey!
The guy who hit you isn't a cop. No shit!
So go get him!Thanks a lot, pal.
[tires screeching]
What the hell?
Hi!
Still with ya.
Come on, let's go!
Okay.
[siren wailing]
[honks horn]
[siren wailing]
[honks horn]
[tires screeching]
Hey! Lucero! All right!
Follow him!
God damn it.
Come on! Move it! Faster! Faster!
The freeway exit right over there!
Pull off!
[shouting]
[musical truck horn]
[boys cheering]
Thanks for the ride.
Wait!
Shit!
Let's get the son of a bitch.
[shouting]
- Uhh! - Aah!
[shouting]
Aah!
[cheering]
Come on! Come on! Get over there!
COMPUTER VOICE: Your right door is ajar.
[cheering]
- Come on! - No, please!
[tires screeching]
Uhh!
[tires screeching]
- Is that kid okay? - Brian?
Brian!
Are you okay?
Yeah. Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
Take it easy.
Just stay there. We'll take care of you.
All right?
Shit!
This thing's less than an hour old, man.
Didn't have the trucks straight enough.
I could have been killed.Sorry.
Well, next time, all right?
All right.
Um...
your father?
I'm sorry.
I really am sorry.
What are you gonna do?
My mother wants to stay here.
I don't know.
After what's happened,
how can I go back to school again?
How can I face everyone?
Look, um...
don't go back until I'm outta here.
We'll, uh... both go back together.
I'll... I'll walk you.
Must have been a pretty terrific guy.
Yeah, he was.
Well... it happens, you know?
The good ones come along once in a while.
Sometimes they're even riding a skateboard.
A board? Imagine that.
So how are things at home?
Different.
They, uh, talk to me now instead of about me.
Yeah? And are you listening or answering back?
[Brian grunts]
Hey...
you gotta make some adjustments.
[sighs] Right?
Right.
Come on.
Okay.
Ow! Hey!
[laughing] Got ya.
