Original subtitles

Obviously someone framed Thai Hag in order to implicate Lung Shing-fu,

so Or Man-cheung and Opium Kam would go after each other.

Be careful! Opium Kam is juiced up.

You all have to die.

There's always a chance to win

as long as you have bargaining chips.

I just need one good hand to launch a comeback.

That feels good!

The doctor told you not to scratch the wound.

But it's itchy!

Hey... stop it or I'll break your hand.

Hey... that hurts!

Here... I brought you water to wipe yourself.

Why are you so concerned?

How about... you do it for me?

Not in your life.

You didn't break your hand.

Do it yourself!

I knew you'd say that.

If Tooth Man were hurt,

you'd scrub between his toes.

Why? Are you jealous? Cha cha cha...

Save it! You're flat as an ironing board.

Don't you molest me either!

Why would I bother?

I don't want to catch anything.

I knew you'd do that.

You're harder to look after than Siu-sun!

I'm fine. I'm thinking about Baji footwork.

The key is shifting the weight.

I can shift my weight to the good leg. See?

Don't be stupid. We have people working out there.

Don't worry about anything.

I'm really worried about Or Tak-li.

I'm afraid she'd end up like Yam-yam.

If you want to do something for Miss Or,

I have an idea. But can you handle it?

Back to your seats!

Where is Miss All-shhy?

When will she be back?

She'll be back soon, don't worry.

She can't bear to leave you.

If you want Miss Or to be happy, pay attention in class.

Understand? Yes!

I thought you could only give people a shampoo.

Can you teach?

Of course!

I brought food!

I'll teach you to write and do arithmetic.

You'll only get a treat when you answer correctly.

Understand? Yes!

Is that clear? Yes!

Now get back to your seats.

You're quite good with kids.

You bet! They get to eat and play

and can be happy all day.

You're so caring, chipping in money and effort.

I used petty cash from the Welfare Association.

Putting you in charge of accounts, is like putting a rat in the rice bin.

You didn't even ask for permission!

This is not a toy.

Sister Maria is coming!

What?

What's wrong?

Sister Maria doesn't want us to eat in class.

Why didn't you tell us sooner?

Thank you for substituting for Audrey.

Well? Did you listen to Tiu Lan?

Answer me. It's rude to ignore people.

The kids were talking in class.

I told them to keep their mouths shut

and would punish whoever starts talking.

That's right!

So you're all behaving.

Let us take over, Sister Maria.

You should get some rest.

Yes, don't worry! Watch your step.

Be careful! Bye!

(Mei Moon Ballroom)

Don't you have a girlfriend?

You came to see me behind her back,

won't she be jealous?

Quit your act!

All men are whoremongers!

You obviously came here for a good time.

Don't blame me for shooting off my mouth, Chairman Duen.

Here... a toast to you.

Let's cut to the chase. Why did you attack me?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Who's this?

This gesture told me you were the woman in black.

I don't why you purposely let me guess who you are.

You lured me here on purpose?

Why are we here?

You didn't disappoint me.

Good kung fu, good judgment.

Who are you? Why do you know Baji?

One of my clients was a Baji practitioner from the north.

He has a kind heart and taught me how to protect myself.

But a woman who practises Baji is nothing like a man.

I want to borrow your Baji fist.

I won't get involved in any underhanded dealings.

What if I ask you to steal something harmful to everyone?

You know the whereabouts of Opium Kam's goods?

In the basement of the night club.

Why are you telling me this?

Because I've had enough of Fung Chun-mei.

I don't want to work for him anymore.

He is holding my family hostage.

I simply can't say no.

The Welfare Association is my last hope.

Fung Chun-mei stole the drugs so that

he could benefit from pitting Or Man-cheung and Opium Kam against each other.

We must stop him.

Please help me beat Fung Chun-mei

and save my family.

You've made up a flawless story.

It's not a story.

You have no proof that it's true.

Maybe you're working with Fung Chun-mei to set me up.

I won't believe you.

I have proof.

Fung Chun-mei doesn't even treat me as a human being.

Please believe me.

Have you seen a tall girl in her early 20s?

If you want a girl, go to Temple Street. Don't come to Yuen Long.

Let's split up.

Ma, didn't you find anything?

Here, wet your lips.

I don't want it. You go ahead.

I run a store, taking my business elsewhere means I make less money.

You won't even let me buy you a popsicle?

Popsicle or ring, I won't thank you.

I'm your mother, I don't need to thank you.

Ma!

It's not a football, why are they kicking it? Hey...

That's not how you play takraw.

Kitten!

Pa!

Guess which way the ball is coming.

Use your waist... be brave!

Good, kick it!

(Mei Moon Ballroom)

Stop it... Mr. Chu!

Drink one more...

I've had a few, it's your turn.

That's a slap in my face!

I come here every night to see you.

Drink it!

You want to do this the hard way?

Who are you?

Well? Are you hurt?

I brought you something.

Thanks for saving me.

Your lips...

Help! Someone attacked Mr. Chu!

What is it, Miss Fa?

Catch him! He molested me!

Miss Fa, we only found this oil on him.

You wanted to give me this?

Most people give me cash or jewellery.

A stupid bottle of medicated oil?

You're out of your league!

Use your brain. Don't be so gullible.

When will Brother Chun-mei be back?

Not yet.

Let Brother Chun-mei decide how to torture him.

Yes!

A stupid bottle of medicated oil?

You're out of your league!

Use your brain.

How thoughtful!

A thief? After him!

Watch out!

Hop on!

Are you hurt?

No, thank goodness for you.

I'm glad you're OK.

What's wrong?

Pull it out!

Me?

I trust you.

Thank you.

You said you didn't believe me.

But now you trust me?

Because you had no choice?

If you didn't believe me,

why did you help me?

What if I hurt you?

I was right to trust you.

I'll get you another bottle of medicated oil later.

Next time that creep attacks you, you must fight back.

You've been gone for so long,

Fung Chun-mei will get suspicious.

You should get back.

What about the drugs?

I'll take care of it.

I'm going. Be careful.

(Mei Moon Ballroom)

I'm sorry, Brother Chun-mei!

I'm sorry, Brother Chun-mei!

I'm sorry!

I'm sorry, Brother Chun-mei.

Duen Ying-fung cut himself loose with a shard of glass.

Eat the glass on the floor! Now!

No... please give us another chance...

Eat it!

No, Brother Chun-mei!

Knitted brows will give you wrinkles.

Get lost, all of you! Out!

Yes, Brother Chun-mei.

Except you!

Fa Man, where were you?

Mr. Chu was very upset with Duen Ying-fung.

I escorted him home.

Did you know Duen Ying-fung got away and took some dope with him?

What? I went through big trouble to steal the dope.

Or Man-cheung and Opium Kam are still alive.

If the goods are exposed, we would have wasted our effort.

Let's level the Welfare Association tonight.

No, that would be admitting we stole from Opium Kam.

Someone must be helping Duen Ying-fung.

We'll keep an eye on the Welfare Association

If anything goes wrong,

we'll capture him and the goods.

Hey! You're awake!

Where's the Tooth Man?

He's not in the room. Haven't seen him.

He's never spent the night outside ever since he moved in.

Maybe he's at the clinic.

No, he hasn't made up with his uncle.

Don't tell me he went to the night club.

What?

Night club?

Tooth Man is a whoremonger?

He doesn't seem interested in us.

All men are lechers.

What a shame we didn't work last night!

Exactly!

We should have gone to work.

Don't talk nonsense. I'd rather he went there for the women.

I'm afraid he went there to track down the drugs

and Fung Chun-mei got him.

No way!

Oh my gosh...

What?

Someone trashed up Fung Chun-mei's night club last night

and wounded several of his men.

Do you know who did it?

No.

Was it Tooth Man?

He didn't come home last night.

He must be injured.

Don't say that, Woo Ni!

Step aside...

Someone is watching us.

Where are you going?

To look for Tooth Man. I'm worried about him.

You're injured, don't go hopping around.

Watch him.

Sit down! You should sit!

Be careful!

One downstairs and two on both ends of the street.

I started tailing someone before you were even born.

She went that way.

No, she went that way.

Let's split up, moron!

Tooth Man, please be safe!

Please...

There you are, Tooth Man!

I knew you'd find me.

I would never ignore you.

You're badly injured.

The bleeding stopped. Just need time for the wound to heal.

But...

Don't worry, though I'm a dentist, I'm still a doctor.

What happened last night?

We were right. Fung Chun-mei had the drugs.

He caught me when I was leaving with some of it.

I was injured in the chase,

but luckily it's nothing major.

Nothing major? Even your lips turned white.

Why didn't you bring me with you

so we could look out for each other?

You have a heart condition.

I didn't want you to get hurt.

I don't want you to act alone.

I couldn't be of help if anything should go wrong.

Can you help me with something now?

Maybe she's not in Yuen Long.

Well? Are you worried?

You're in love with her?

That's crazy! She's the boss' daughter.

Rice rolls.

Can I borrow a few things?

Sure!

Garlic, white vinegar and fish sauce.

Try the dip.

You don't like it?

It's good. Reminds me of home.

When we were in Thailand,

me, you and your Pa were poor and didn't have much to eat.

Mixing this sauce with rice was the best.

I went all the way to Thailand to marry your Pa.

I was at a loss when he died.

I couldn't decide where my home was.

Then I decided to bring you back to Hong Kong.

I often regretted that decision,

because if I hadn't done that,

none of this would have happened.

Nothing has changed.

You and Pa are always right here.

We'll always be family.

Where's Lucky? Stolen.

That's too bad.

A bunch of strangers showed up lately

and went around stealing dogs to eat.

I bet they did it.

You first, Master Kam.

This is really good!

Want some, kid?

Master Kam! What is it, Miss Or?

I'm really hungry. Can I try a piece?

You look like you'd eat human flesh if you're hungry enough.

It's worth teaching you.

Only because you saved my life.

Untie her!

Get her a chair.

Yes, Master Kam!

Help her up!

Thank you, Master Kam!

Here... this one is good! Try it.

They say it's best if you drink wine with it.

You'll know after you tried.

Here... have a big glass.

Cheers!

Thank you, Master Kam!

We'll see how far you can run, you little tramp!

She should be in the underbrush, look carefully...

Go look over there!

Shut up and get her back!

Yes, Master Kam!

Looks like Miss Or got away.

But they're likely to find her first.

Let's hope she has found a place to hide.

We can't let them get to her first.

Come on, Ma!

Come out, Miss Or!

I promise we won't hurt you.

Up ahead, hurry...

I heard a noise.

Where is she?

Shut up and keep looking!

We were right. Fung Chun-mei had the drugs.

He caught me when I was leaving with some of it.

Can you help me with something now?

But Tak-li, just go around nonchalantly

like you're on your regular delivery route

and no one would suspect you.

I'm so sorry...

I had nothing to do with it.

The City rat doing his own delivery?

This must be something special.

Brother Chun-mei, we've been short-handed.

That's why I had to do it myself.

Hear that? Give him a hand.

You won't get away!

Where's the water?

Search!

What's going on?

I suspect he stole something from my night club.

I suspect you stole Opium Kam's stash.

Can I search your night club?

Don't try to frame me.

If you're clean, why are you men keeping watch all over town?

They had nothing better to do?

Fung Chun-mei, we both know what's really going on.

I got wind the Welfare Association stole the dope.

I feel sorry for you because your daughter is missing

and no one will bury you.

I'm only trying to help.

I'm so touched I could cry!

I couldn't thank you enough!

You're welcome! You can take over from here.

Search!

Mr. Or, it's just ice.

Mr. Or, ice is also water.

I'm making delivery for the ice factory.

Let's go to the Welfare Association.

Boxer! Tiu Lan! Mr. Yeung!

Or Man-cheung will be here soon with his thugs.

What about Fung Chun-mei?

Or Man-cheung had him closely monitored.

To save his own neck, he'd try to stay clear of the matter.

We'll worry about that later.

We can't let them know you have the stash.

Thai Hag's store should be safe.

But Lung Shing-fu knows about the secret compartment.

Take it to my store.

They don't know my connection with the Welfare Association.

Hurry up, they're coming.

OK! Thanks, Mr. Yeung.

Give me a push.

Be careful!

Step aside!

What brings you here, Mr. Or?

I have not been here since you're open.

All neighbours are welcome inside.

Hey! What did you pick up?

Let me see your hand!

Let me see it!

Let me see your hand!

Relax, Mr. Or! I picked up a coin!

Stop your stupid tricks!

It's not on you doesn't mean it's not inside

Nothing dirty is stored inside the Welfare Association.

Feel free to search the premises if you don't believe me.

Don't break anything.

Didn't you come to visit us?

Would you like to come in for some tea?

Nothing, Mr. Or! Nothing?

They found nothing.

You'd better not let me catch you.

If anything happens to my daughter,

I'll bury all of you with her.

Boxer... don't tell me you swallowed it!

Boxer... water!

Drink lots of water!

Chuck it out...

Hurry... chuck it all out!

Chuck it out or you'll die!

Sewing kit...

Which acupoint is it?

I don't remember which one!

Why can't I remember?

Why can't I remember?

No, Boxer!

No...

Sun Mei, you can't lose anyone else around you!

No more!

I must save him...

Here... save him! Here... to kill!

I must save him!

Hang in there!

Nothing will happen to you! Hang in there!

What happened, Miss?

Miss, what happened?

What happened?

He swallowed dope!

Take him inside.

You can't go in!

Get everything ready!

He's lucky someone let out his blood

or he would have been poisoned to death

Chuck it out!

Hang in there!

Hey! You can't get out of bed!

Where is the girl who brought me in?

I don't know!

Where is Tiu Lan?

I don't know!

Tiu Lan!

Tiu Lan!

Tiu Lan...

Don't scare me, Tiu Lan!

Tiu Lan... please don't die on me!

Tiu Lan you idiot! How can you be fast asleep in a place like this?

Wake up! It's dawn, wake up!

Am I dreaming?

You're alive!

Of course I am. You saved me!

How can you ignore your heart condition?

After the last attack, I always carry the medication on me.

The effect was just a little late kicking in

(We can't leave or stay, so how can we talk?)

You idiot, how could you forsake your life to save mine?

It's not that easy to kill me, idiot!

(Only two lost souls can stay together and grow old together)

What did the doctor say?

I don't know.

I came to look for you as soon as I woke up.

That's outrageous! Does the doctor know?

Is it OK to come out? Get back inside.

I was out here all night because of you.

Your life is mine.

Don't waste my effort.

You're such a pain.

I should not have woken you up.

I'm a pain? I saved your life.

Alright... thank you, my life saver!

Come on, let's go in.

(We can't leave or stay, so how can we talk?)

(The one worth staying for chooses to run away...)

I'm very heavy.

Wipe my body, OK?

Sure! Ouch...

Can you do this?

Good! Hold for me!

It's just one line!

Hold!

I know Baji!

Cut!

Good!

Are you OK?

Chin Pang, did you jump out?

No, we're in this together...
