Season 4 • Episode 22
LatestWhen a hostage taker demands to be patched into a talk-radio host's show, Caine defuses the crisis on the air --- which launches his own radio career.
Like his legendary namesake, Kwai Chang Caine is a warrior monk, operating a Shaolin temple in Northern California. After an evil priest, Tan, destroys the temple, Caine and his young son, Peter each believe the other has perished. The two embark on very different paths -- Caine wanders the Earth, while Peter is a cop. When fate brings the two together, they work to overcome their differing philosophies to battle Tan, and then to help the innocent and bring justice to the new Wild West -- 90s urban America.

The show awkwardly blended Asian mysticism with white savior tropes — very 90s, very discussed in hindsight.
