(upbeat funky music)

- Hey.

What do you want?

- Is that one eyed here?

- Who the hell are you?

You dare call our boss that.

- You bums obviously don't know me.

- Oh, I know you.

You're one of Lu's men,
the one they say can kick

like a mule.

- Well, if you know who I
am, then that's the best

you can come at.

- Watch out.

You're on our home ground now.

- Where I am always belongs to me.

- Well and maybe I'd like to find out

if that's the truth.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(dramatic orchestral music)

- Stop it, Lee Tung Hao, what do you want?

- I want one of your men.

- Who's that?

- The one behind you.

The Fat Dog.

- I don't know him.

(laughing)

- He's one of my men.

Do you think I'd hand over one of my men

to a member of another gang?

- He used to be charge
of keeping Mr. Lu's books

but then he went missing with some money.

And now, I must take him back with me.

- All by yourself you won't?

- I've always done things on my own.

(laughing)

- Good, then let's see what you can do.

All by yourself.

If you can beat me, then
he will go with you.

- All right.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(laughing)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(grunting)

(dramatic orchestral music)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(grunting)

(dramatic orchestral music)

- Tung Hao, I've lost, Fat
Dog's no longer my man.

You take him.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- Fat dog, there's no where left to run.

- Please, please, nothing to do with me.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

- What the hell have you
done with all that money?

- I lost it.

Gambling, it's gone.

- All right, that's enough now,

we're going back.

- Going back?

But then I'll be killed.

- No, you won't.

I'll see to that.

You're my responsibility.

- On your knees.

You've been treated well enough.

You dare to lose money gambling

after you've stolen it, you fool.

Well then, what are we to do with you?

You must be punished
according to our rules.

- Let's put him in a pig's cage.

- And throw him in the sea.

- Boss, no, anything,
anything but that, no, no.

Not to me, no.

(groaning)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(grunting)

- Tung Hao, what's the meaning of this?

- Mr. Lu, please spare his life.

We've been together for a long time.

I promised he would not be killed.

Mr. Lu, he came willingly.

- All right.

I'll spare him this time.

But our rules can't be broken.

But then, you are left to punish him

in any way that you see fit.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(heavy punching) (screaming)

- Get me the branding iron.

(screaming) (sizzling)

Fat dog, your tattoo is now gone.

From now on, you are not one of us.

- Hi.

- Hi there, George.

I'm Micho, the bus is waiting
for you up at the villa.

- Good.

(plane engines roaring)

(intense orchestral music)

(percussive funky music)

- Keep up with him.

- How much further?

- Oh, about 10 more minutes.

- Holding this briefcase is
like carrying a timebomb.

- It's all right.

No one knows you're carrying diamonds.

- I hope you're right.

- Come in, come in, get ready to go.

- Okay.

(brakes screeching)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm all right.

- That job couldn't have gone better.

- You better be careful
in covering our tracks up

or we'll be in trouble.

- Why?

- Damn you, people know it's us.

- There was a
robbery at Kalu today shortly

after 11 o'clock this morning.

A Mercedes Benz traveling

from the airport suddenly had path blocked

by another vehicle.

A briefcase...

- Fancy getting your mouth
around my sausage, huh?

- Ah Min, eat it yourself.

(laughing)

- The police say they have a few clues

to go on,

It is believed that several robbers

were involved in the hold up.

Some of them were reported
armed with axes and knives.

However, the police could not confirm this

and we will try to get further news

to you on the robbery in the late news.

And that's all for now from
the main news for this evening.

(eerie atmospheric music)

- Ah Min.

- Huh?

- Those two cars.

- It wasn't me.

- Yes, it was.

You were involved in that robbery.

- Oh, woman.

All I did was steal a couple of cars.

I didn't know anything
about that robbery there.

- Who asked you to steal those cars?

- I don't know.

Some guy called Lu.

Paid me $2,000 just to
steal a couple of cars.

- Then you're a fool.

They made a lot while
you're still a poor man.

You better watch out the
police don't get you.

If they do, you'll be
cuttered as a robber.

(dramatic orchestral music)

(laughing)

- Hey, this will make front page.

But not only the police will be after us.

Some other guys will
also be on your tails.

You must stay hiding.

No one must go out.

Not even you.

You must also wait to take our shares.

- Yes, boss, when can we sell the diamond?

- Mmm, our buyer is on
his way from the states

with cash.

Tung Hao.

- Yes, boss?

What shall I do?

- You got the diamond and
don't you damn well lose it.

- George.

- Hi.

- How are you?

(groaning)

Have you thought of any new leads for us?

While you've been lying here.

- As I have told you
many times before now,

I am in hospital because of the robbery.

You should be out there
catching the thieves,

not questioning me.

- All right, you have a
good rest and get better.

(door closing)

- Hong Kong's a city of crime.

- All right gentlemen, I've
called this emergency meeting

to pass on bad news.

I've just heard from Hong Kong

that the North Pole Star
Diamond has been stolen.

George is in hospital,
but should be all right.

As you know, the gem company was insured

that diamond with us for
over three million dollars.

If it's not recovered
by the end of the month,

we stand to lose everything.

All right, let's have suggestions.

What steps can we take and
let's map out a plan of action.

- Have the Hong Kong police
taken any action yet?

- It's been reported to them but so far,

they haven't a clue who did it.

- I suggest we pay for its return.

- That may work.

But don't forget, we've paid out before,

and it ended up with no
results and losing even more.

- Well, we must do something.

- I've already planned some action,

but it needs your approval.

I agree, we offer a reward
for information leading

to it's recovery.

But at the same time, I
think we should send out

our new operative to Hong Kong.

This man was with the CIA in the far east

for several years and he
has an excellent record

and now he's with the company.

I think he's the right man for the job.

- Where is this man?

- Mr. Lucas?

(dramatic piano music)

- Good morning.

- Mr. Lucas, the board
of directors have given

their approval for you to
take any action necessary

for the recovery of the North Pole Star.

- I've been known to be called

a black six million dollar man.

(upbeat funky music)

(doorbell ringing)

Hello, can I come in?

- Lucas, well, what are
you doing here so soon?

- Don't forget, time is money.

Well George, aren't you
gonna ask me to come in?

- Come on in.

- By the way, how's the rib?

- Oh, they're better
now, it wasn't serious.

- There's no more pain?

- No, Lucas, I haven't
got any information.

How can I get back the diamond?

- Take it easy.

And you remember, you can
do anything you want to,

providing you're willing to learn

and to go about things properly.

- Right, but, well,
neither of us is familiar

with this place and where
the hell are we to begin?

- Just keep cool.

I'll handle it.

Don't worry.

I have an old school mate who's
with the Hong Kong police.

There's a possibility.

Maybe I'll get something out of him.

(heavy rock music)

- I just received the picture you sent me,

but what is his name?

- His name is Lucas.

- Ah, Lucas is his name.

Don't you worry, we'll take care of him.

There's some bastard asking questions

about the diamond.

- Good evening.

- I want you to keep an eye on him.

Get rid of him if you have to.

- Yes.

- Hsiao Chen, wait here.

I've got some business.

How do you like the show?

- Great.

- Fantastic.

- Not really, it's not
really all fantastic.

You can see much better
back home in the states.

- Mr. Lu, you're a humble person.

I'll bet all of your staff are close cats.

That's why our head
office sent us out here

to do business with a professional.

- And since we know each
other, how much can you offer?

- 500,000 American dollars.

- But don't you think
that price is too low?

- Your stone is too hot.

It wouldn't be easy for us to sell it.

- You know that it's
worth three million bucks.

Can you buy it?

- Our highest offer is only 800,000.

And that's as high as we'll go.

You think about it.

- No, thank you.

It's far too low.

- Well Mr. Lu, if you don't sell it to us,

I'm afraid you won't be
able to find another buyer.

- Maybe so.

But I can always give it to my fiance

as a wedding present, she'll like it.

Now you must excuse me,
gentlemen, I have to go.

- And now we have more
news on the recent robbery

at Clear Water Bay Road.

We can now confirm that
the valuable diamond,

the North Pole Star, is missing.

It was insured with an
American insurance company

for a sum which has not been disclosed.

The company is now offering
a reward of $100,000

to who can provide...

- $100,000?

That's more money than we'll ever make.

- You're not kidding.

We'll never see that kind of money.

We ought to try and make some
more out of our customers.

- Over 30
people were made homeless,

but they were given shelter by

the social welfare department,
no one was injured.

- Good evening.

- Good evening.

(upbeat funky music)

- Here, sir.

- Thank you.

- Luisa?

- Yes, sir?

- You got me?

- How are you very
familiar with this place?

- Oh, it's because of my job.

(laughing)

- Luisa, Inspector Lu is here.

- Oh, really?

Inspector Lu?

- Here's to our happiness and our success.

Hi.

- Inspector, I thought you'd forgotten me.

- No way.

I don't come here anymore.

My boss will start wondering
where I get my money from.

(laughing)

- You're kidding.

But manners.

Must I stand?

- Oh, come here.

Let me introduce you.

This man's name is George.

- Hello, how are you?
- Hello.

- Now here's my old friend, Lucas.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- And he's here to give us some money.

- Oh, is that why you're really here?

- Don't be agist, man, he's joking.

- Luisa, you must have
heard something about

the recent diamond robbery.

He's been sent by the insurance company.

- Oh, so you're the man.

(laughing)

- I thought we agreed not to
talk business tonight, man.

Hey you're good health.

- Cheers.

- Well now that we've finished our drinks,

I think it's about time
for you to introduce us

to some ladies.

- Oh yes, of course I'll
find you some ladies.

- You certainly don't
believe in wasting much time.

- Hey, George, diamonds
are a girl's best friend.

You should know that.

- Hey, I'm in.

Wake up, come on you lazy
devil, wake up, come on,

wake up.

(groaning)

Haven't you been watching TV?

- It's broken.

Somebody's gotta fix it.

- The insurance company's
offering an award.

Now's our chance.

This time you'll be smart
and we'll make some money.

This time, we'll make some money.

- No.

- What did you say?

- We won't get a chance to spend it.

These aren't ordinary crooks.

If we call that place,
we're in big trouble.

They're all murderers.

- But how can they know it was you?

- No, they'd find out, I'm sure of it.

- The only thing wrong with you

is you haven't got any damn guts.

Okay, then you can hide here forever.

- Luisa, what do you want with me?

- Lucas, if I can supply some information

about the diamond, will
you pay me the $100,000?

- If you can supply me
the right information,

the reward money will certainly go to you.

- What information can you give us?

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- I have a friend called Ah
Min who has some information

about the diamond.

- Where's he now?

(upbeat funky music)

- Who you looking for?

- You Ah Min?

- What do you want?

- I'm Lucas, your girlfriend
sent me over here.

- Whatever for?

- The North Pole Star.

- I don't know what the hell
you're talking about, man.

Maybe you came to the wrong place, huh.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

Let me go.

- Are you trying to say
you know nothing about it?

- Please let me go.

- If you tell me about the diamond,

and help me find it,

then have all the money you've
ever wanted in your life,

you hear?

- You've only given me $3,000.

I have to pay rent, everything,
you think that's fair?

- Well think about it.

That's a lot of money.

- I know nothing at all.

- Well, if you won't
cooperate, I'll hand you over

to the police.

It's your decision.

Better decide.

- This is your chance, the
money's waiting for us.

What are you afraid of?

What's the matter?

- All right.

I will tell you.

- I'm waiting.

- Well, I don't really know that much.

- What do you know?

- I supplied the cars for them.

I went out and stole two, that's it.

I know nothing else.

- Where'd you take 'em to?

(laughing)

(snapping fingers)

5,000 here with me, if you
can take me to the place

where the diamond's being kept
at, I'll give you the rest.

- Come on, let's go.

(car engine roaring)

(cars crashing)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(upbeat funky music)

- You dare to betray us.

You tell him, you tell him.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(glass breaking)

(cars crashing)

(car crashing)

(yelling)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(cars crashing)

(engine revving)

(cars crashing)

(heavy kicking) (groaning)

(heavy kicking) (grunting)

- Ah Min, what did you
tell that interfering?

- I told him nothing, Mr. Lu.

I told him nothing.

- Oh, you won't tell me the truth?

Well maybe car thieves
enjoy being tortured.

- Get up.

(crying)

- I'll tell you, boss.

- Well, tell me.

- I told him I got you the cars

and nothing else, boss.

Nothing else, boss.

Why should I lie?

- You're lying now.

I wanna know why you
went to the wood yard.

(screaming)

- Chow Li.

- Huh?

- Where the hell are we going to?

- To the ship.

Quite near where we are now.

- I have a feeling, a
premonition about this diamond

and it's not a good one.

- Uncle, trust me.

It's all right.

Everything's okay.

- I hope you're correct.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- Wait.

- Tung Hao, what are you doing?

Tung Hao, if you want to survive,

you have to be more ruthless.

- Boss, our situations
already bad, we shouldn't make

it any worse.

- How right you are.

Your uncle's here?

- Yes.

- Ah.

(dreamy orchestral music)

- This diamond's the best
I've seen in my entire life.

It's a true creation of God.

- Old man, how many days?

- It's perfect.

Wonderful.

- We know it's a damn good one.

Your job is just to cut it.

How long would you want
to cut the damn thing?

- At least 10 days.

- That's too long.

- Then seven.

- All right.

Seven days.

I'll allow you.

I'll send you a girl
around, this is our custom.

- No.

I want three of them.

- Huh, why is that?

- I want you to send me three

so that I can play my
favorite game of mahjong.

- You're really very
young at heart, old man.

I hope that three don't kill you.

- What's wrong with you?

Why didn't you tell me that
you were coming over here?

- Don't you know Ah Min's dead?

- I know he is.

Tung Hao, I'm tired of
this kind of living.

Can't we just leave here
and go somewhere else?

(upbeat funky music)

- There's no way out.

The boss needs me.

- You only think of your damn Mr. Lu.

Don't you realize you're committing crimes

and that it's wrong?

One day you're going to be killed.

- I would gladly die for that man.

I was at one time an orphan.

It's thanks to Mr. Lu I'm here.

If it wasn't for him, I'd
still be in the gutter,

begging for what I could get.

- What's the big difference

between a beggar and a robber?

One gets his money legally
while the other does not.

Don't you think you'll ever be punished

for the things that you've done?

Don't you ever stop and think about

the woman who wants to be your wife?

Tung Hao, I spend most of
my time worrying about you.

All right, you don't
care if I can't sleep.

Because I'm worried that you
might get yourself killed,

but don't come to me telling
me how great Mr. Lu is.

- No.

- Don't touch me!

I work in such a low class nightclub,

fondled all the time by that man.

I just can't take much more of this.

I just can't.

Please will you get me
out of that damn place.

I can't stand it, I can't stand it.

I've made up my mind to leave that place.

(crying)

Tung Hao, didn't you say
that you really love me?

Well now you can prove it to me.

All I ask is that you take me away.

Please, promise me.

(siren wailing)

- Is he dead?

- Yes, sir.

- How?

- I would say he was beaten to death.

There are wounds all over his body.

There's no ID.

- Wait.

Lucas, take a look.

Is he our man?

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- It's him.

(intense orchestral music)

(dreamy percussive music)

- Sir, have you come for tattoo?

- Yes.

- Good sir, we can do many types.

Some plants, some
animals, even some girls.

Which do you like?

- I'd like to see them.

- Well have a look around.

Sir, well, sir, which one do you like,

which one do you like, huh?

- I like none of these.

I like this.

(intense orchestral music)

- That's very unusual.

It must be another place.

- I've been all around Kalu and Hong Kong

and they told me you are the greatest.

But now I'm here, you don't welcome me.

- I couldn't get the color in.

Your skin is much too rough.

You have to go somewhere else.

If they can help you.

- Do you know this man?

- No, I've never seen him.

- Hold it.

I hope that you've been
telling me the whole truth.

There's no reason for you to worry.

I know that you weren't
involved in the murder.

All I want is the truth.

- Can you prove my innocence?

- Yes.

- I don't know this man.

Miss Nana introduced him to me

and he asked me for a tattoo on his arm.

That was the first time I spoke to him.

As it happens, it'll also be the last.

- Nana.

(upbeat funky music)

- Come in, sir.

- Thank you.

- Hey, Tung Yu, what's
the black guy doing here?

- Tell the boss.

- Right.

- Boss, the black guy is here.

- Who?

- That man's a danger.

- Tell all my men.

Be careful.

- Sir.

- Thank you.

- That black guy, see
him sitting over there?

Well you keep your eyes on him.

- Right.

- Good.

- Ladies and gentlemen,
we are proud to present,

the sexy dancing star of our show

who is guaranteed to titillate you.

How about a big warm
welcome for our lovely lady,

Miss Nana.

(sexy jazz music) (clapping)

(whistling)

(heavy rock music)

- Waitress.

- Yes, sir?

- Could you ask Nana to come over to here?

We're old friends.

- Boss, it's all arranged.

- Good.

I want him killed as soon as he leaves.

- Right, boss.

- This gentleman was looking for you.

- Please sit down.

- I must say, I don't
think I can handle you.

Not at all.

- There's an old Chinese
proverb that says,

"Strangers today, friends tomorrow."

We'll get to know each other very soon.

Miss Nana, what are you drinking?

- Nothing.

You have what you like,
can put it on my bill.

- That's one thing I really
admire about you, Nana,

that's your oriental nature.

Shall we make friends?

- Let me tell you, I don't want to.

Because I don't know you
and because you're black.

- Miss Nana, Miss Nana.

I'm Ah Min's friend, you should know him.

- I don't know anyone with that name.

(laughing)

- I hope you will remember.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

Hmmm.

You bunch of murderers,
if you don't wanna die,

you better run away.

You're gonna need all the
help that you can get.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- Stop it.

Mr. Lucas, never in my
life has I come up against

a problem I couldn't solve.

- Ah, that may be as maybe,

but some problems just can't be solved.

- We'll see just who
can't solve what problem

when he puts a little effort into it.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

- Your Chinese legs aren't bad.

- I thank you.

How does defeat taste?

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

You're not so bad yourself.

- That's about right.

(siren wailing)

- Come on, the police are here, let's go.

- Black man, you're lucky this time.

- Yellow man, you won't
get away the next time.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm just visiting.

- No, you can't stay here.

- Why not?

Why every time that I come,
do you tell me to go, huh?

- I'm too busy to stand
here talking to you.

(heavy smacking) (crying)

(dramatic orchestral music)

- You think you're too good for me?

Well you're not and I'm
the boss around here.

You do what I tell you.

When I call you, you must come to me.

I don't want any of your excuses.

You hear me?

All right, stop crying.

You're ruining the atmosphere.

(crying)

Come on, stop it.

Stop it.

Stop it, you hear me?

- Why don't you ask me
where I've just been out to?

- I don't want to know.

- Tung Hao.

- Don't touch me.

(dramatic funk music)

- You must think that I'm no
better than a damn prostitute.

I see that must be clearer.

I'd asked you to take me
away from that damn place

so many times before.

You must be gotten away
from your precious Mr. Lu.

Tung Hao, you'll regret this
for the rest of your life.

Your damn Mr. Lu.

I hate him for what he is
and what he's done to you.

But you don't see that.

- You shut up.

- I can't stand him.

- It's a dirty game but
you are much dirtier.

If you're not willing to stay here,

no one will stop you from going your way.

(crying)

- You'd think that I'd be here willingly?

You think that...

(heavy smacking)

- You slut.

- I tell you he's not the
man you thought he was.

He's evil.

He's a devil.

I tell you I know what I'm saying.

He only wants to use your talent.

You're no better than a damn dog.

You're no better than a dog.

- Damn.

(phone ringing)

- Hello.

- Is that Lucas?

- Hang on, I'll get him.

It's for you.

- Who is it?

(suspenseful orchestral music)

Yep.

- You're Lucas?

- Yes, who is this?

Who are you?

- I'm called Fat Dog.

Have you lost the diamond?

- You're right.

Word spreads very quickly in Hong Kong.

- I know that you still
haven't found the diamond.

So if you're still seeking it's return,

bring 50,000.

We'll meet at noon down by the sea.

Now we'll meet near Cygon
Ferry Pier at exactly 12 noon.

Have you got that?

Good.

Look for my boat.

- Hold on, who are you?

- Lucas is
meeting Fat Dog tomorrow at noon,

somewhere near the Cygon Ferry Pier.

- Tung Hao, as a result
of your damn mercy,

Fat Dog has contacted Lucas.

(upbeat funky music)

- So, you're Fat Dog?

- Yes.

I wanna be friends.

- Really?

You come out here just to make friends?

- I have some information.

- Can I trust you?

- Do you know who called
the police the other night

when you were surrounded?

- So, you called the police.

- Why, of course I did.

- You'd know who they were?

- Of course.

One of them is responsible
for these bandages.

- Ah.

- Ah, what are you doing?

- I was just making sure
you weren't lying to me.

- I want 50,000 for all of my information.

- Well, what kind of
things can you tell me?

- I can tell you who stole the diamond.

How they did it

and where the damn thing
is now being hidden.

- Fat Dog, I didn't
bring well enough money.

You tell me first and
I'll pay you later, okay?

- No.

Your reward is $100,000.

I only want half.

I won't bargain anymore.

Give me the money and I'll tell you.

- All right, but when can I see you?

- One o'clock, at the
James Achua Ferry Pier.

- Okay.

(suspenseful percussive music)

(knocking on door)

- Huh?

Fellas, why are you here?

- Fat Dog, you asked for death instead

of enjoying a long life?

- Huh?

What's that?

What are you saying?

- There's no use pretending.

You see, we know what you've been up to.

Come on, we're taking you to the boss.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- Wait, don't you come near.

Don't you make me want to kill you.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(grunting)

(choking)

(heavy kicking)

(grunting) (stick thudding)

(splashing)

(upbeat funk music)

(stick thudding) (grunting)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(light synth music)

(clattering)

- My god, it's 100% pure.

I've never seen anything like it before.

- Fung Yuen, do your work.

- Uncle, how have you been getting on?

- Splendidly.

Look, I'm studying it's structure.

When I know all there is
to know, then I'll start.

I must be very careful.

It's so perfect.

- Mr. Lu wants you to work much faster.

You better hurry up.

- He's an old man, you shouldn't try

to ask him to work any harder.

- Get out of here.

(upbeat flute music)

- Hi, sit down.

- Hi, look.

- I already knew that.

- He's another victim.

Two people have been killed
because of that diamond.

The police don't even
know a damn thing of what

the hell is happening.

- Old friend, so you expect
us to make progress reports

to your company?

- Your police department
moves as slow as a snail.

That's why the crime rate's so high.

(laughing)

- The rate is still really quite low

in comparison with the states.

- All right, Bobby.

But I really want your help.

All I want, Bobby, is
your full cooperation.

That's all.

- We are trying our best.

We're using all our available man power.

We have come up with one small clue.

There's a jewelry shop in Talu.

A famous diamond cutter's gone missing.

I think that, well I feel
that, if we could only somehow

find that old man, then
we would find the diamond.

But then you can never be sure.

- Thanks for the information.

Now I'm gonna be getting back to my room.

- A moment.

Don't you go getting emotional.

(laughing)

- Beautiful.

Another one.

(laughing)

Tonight, we're having a delicacy.

Rabbit stew.

- Huh?

You put them down.

Ta Niu, Ta Niu.

Ta Niu, you leave them alone.

- Damn it, you always give us canned food.

So why don't we eat one?

- You think this is the QE2?

Where the hell do you think that you are?

- How do you dare to provoke me?

- Ta Niu, I'm gonna kill you.

(groaning)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(grunting)

(gas spraying)

- Ta Niu, stop it!

- It's none of your business.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(crowd murmuring)

(heavy kicking and punching)

- Let's go in.

- Mmm.

(upbeat funky music)

- That's a good move.

I'm stuck.

- You could move your knight there.

- You're right.

Your move.

- Check.

- I think you've got me this time.

- You could move with your bishop.

- Ah, I see.

That's a fantastic move.

But George, it looks like
you're playing both sides

of the fence.

- What do you mean?

- It seems that you've already arranged

all of my moves for me.

I'm always the loser.

That's why I must change it.

Check mate.

(intense percussive music)

- George, you shouldn't have
come here, it's dangerous.

- There's no other way I can be sure

of absolute privacy.

- Follow me.

Take a seat.

Let's have a drink first.

What'll it be, huh?

- Mr. Lu, the situation
has turned very sour on us.

Do you still wanna have a drink?

- We Chinese have a saying.

"While you still have
life, make the most of it."

George, I think we should
toast our cooperation.

(laughing)

- Since our little cooperation,

I've received nothing.

You promised me one third
of the diamond's value.

- You're right.

I did promise you.

But that Lucas, he's
causing so much trouble.

- The black man should
have never been allowed

to get this far in the first place.

I can't stay any longer, I must get away.

All I want is 500,000 Hong Kong dollars.

The rest is yours.

- My friend, I'm afraid I don't carry

that much cash with me.

- That's your business.

All I want is the money.

If things go wrong with
your end of the deal,

I'm not gonna be responsible for it.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- All right.

You'll have your money tomorrow.

I hope that's to your satisfaction.

Please.

- All right, I'll wait one more day.

Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

You two, make sure he gets back.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

- Mr. Lu, I don't think
we should be doing this.

- Tung Hao, why do you
always treat me like

a little boy?

Why do you do it?

In this world, if you don't stop the wars,

the others will.

You should at least know that fact.

Think about it.

(upbeat funky music)

- Where are you taking me?

- What?

- To a place so far away.

(laughing)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(groaning)

(yelling)

- Mr. Lu, Lucas has already met her.

How can we let her go?

(laughing)

- She's going because Lucas knows her.

All right, my friend.

- Why do you think he's so stupid?

- He'll do anything at all to find us.

Otherwise, he's failed.

And he's the kind of man who, like me,

cannot tolerate failure.

(suspenseful orchestral music)

(sighing)

- Boss, I will go.

Just tell me whatever you'd like me to do.

- Huh?

- This is one of the latest
drugs from the states.

When a man takes this
drug, he'll become excited.

His heart will beat faster and faster

until he cannot control it and
then he will die in the end.

Nana, you get Lucas excited and then,

let him die in complete happiness.

(laughing)

- For our lives' sakes,

I'm willing to do this just once.

- Good, good girl.

You'll be rewarded.

The moment that I have that stone,

you'll have all that you've ever wanted.

Tung Hao, wake up.

Go tell your uncle to start cutting.

(upbeat funky music)

- No, I don't want this one.

But there's more and I
don't know what it's called.

It helps you to give up smoking.

- I'm sorry lady, but
we don't stock that stuff.

- Hello, Nana.

What are you doing here all by yourself?

- Ah, so it's you.

- The last time we met at the night club,

you didn't seem to be all
that friendly towards me.

Why don't we start again
over a quiet drink?

I hope you'll have that drink with me.

I hope that we can be friends.

- If you want to go and have a drink,

I'd certainly like that.

Why don't we go now, mmm?

- That's beautiful.

Let's go then.

Over there.

- Is that right, sir?

Thank you.

She's a pretty girl.

- Yes, she is beautiful.

(door closing)

- Lucas, why did you come
to stay in Hong Kong?

- You don't know then,
what I'm doing here?

(door bell ringing)

Ah, excuse me.

(upbeat funky music)

- What are you going to
do with all those eggs?

- Oh, this is
a special prescription.

- Special?

- Mmm.

Nana, you're so very pretty.

Your hair is so beautiful.

- Let's drink to each other.

- Here's to you.

Hang in there, all right?

This is the best protein for you

to improve your sexual drive.

♪ There once was a lonely man ♪

♪ Who wanted all for his love ♪

♪ All his love ♪

♪ He wanted all ♪

♪ Though she had, had it all before ♪

♪ He saw no faults with his love ♪

♪ And neither did all his friends ♪

♪ All his friends ♪

- Will you stop it then?

We're singing.

I want you to stop it.

- Why don't you make all of us stop it?

- Bet you can't.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

- I'll finish with all of you later.

(dramatic orchestral music)

- I feel so hot.

My heart is beating so much.

(laughing)

- I think you've drunk too much.

- Oh no, I've only drunk a little.

- Bet you know, I know what the reason is.

- What's the reason?

- Nana, you have a fine
sexy, young black man.

I think you're a very sexy
young lady, you follow?

That's why you're so nervous.

- Well my friend, to pay for the drinks,

I think I'll put on a special
performance just for you.

(upbeat funky music)

Come on.

- No, my drink hasn't stimulated me yet.

- Mr., who are you looking for?

- That guy in room nine.

I know he's down there.

- Well, he's just gone out.

You can't go in there.

- Hmmm.

Open it.

- I will if you pay.

(dreamy orchestral music)

- Oh my friend, who are you looking for?

- Nana.

- Nana, we're going home.

- She's really loaded but I promise you,

me and her never really got it on.

She's all yours, baby.

- You damn...

- Hold on a minute, will you wait?

Now then, this is a high class joint.

No place for fighting.

In front of all those people.

(crowd murmuring)

- Bye.

- Get back, come on.

(heavy smacking) (groaning)

(crying)

- You were supposed to
watch the diamond cutter.

What the hell have you been doing?

Is it because of that?

You think you can hide anything from me?

I already knew you two were together.

If you love her, why
the hell didn't you come

and tell me, huh?

I would have given her to you.

I couldn't care less.

There's no need to sneak
around in the dark.

All right, I'll give you
just one more chance.

I'll have to kill that black guy.

If I want to ever be
able to sell the diamond.

I passed on the information
to all the jewelry shops.

But if that black guy comes looking,

they'll send him here,
and we'll be waiting.

Tung Hao, try and kill him.

- But if I kill the black guy,

can I take her away with me?

(suspenseful funky music)

- All right.

It's a deal.

- So we meet again, then.

One against many again.

- Heya!

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

- Take him away.

Hsiao Chen, bring me
the diamond right now.

- Have you finished, old man?

- You know nothing about diamonds.

It takes time to cut one.

- All right, I'm stupid.

Now shut up and give it to me.

- What did you say?

- Come on, give it to me.

Give it to me.

Come on.

(dreamy chiming music)

Damn.

(dramatic orchestral music)

- What the hell?

Why you swallow it?

- Spit it out, old man.

Spit it out.

- Where are you going?

What?

You want to leave?

- Mr. Lu, you said that we could go.

You promised us.

(heavy smacking) (crying)

- Boss, what do you think you're doing?

- Precisely what I mean is that no one

is ever allowed to leave here.

- But boss, you promised us.

You promised we could leave.

(laughing)

- You know all about me.

You leave over my dead body.

- I'm gonna leave.

I'll leave with Nana, then
we'll forget about the past.

- Even if I let you go right now,

you think the police will be so kind

as to let you walk right out of this mess?

- We're going.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

Nana, go.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(grunting)

(yelling)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(suspenseful orchestral music)

- Hey, hey.

Come quickly, the boss wants
you, he's fighting Tung Hao.

- Who will guard the black guy then, huh?

- Oh it's all right,
I'll take care of him.

- Let's go.

- Hurry.

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

- Hurry up, come on quickly.

(heavy punching)

(dramatic synth music)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

(pipe thudding)

(heavy kicking and punching)
(groaning)

- Spit it out, spit it out, spit it out.

- They're fighting up there.

Come on.

Old man, you stay here.

- I'm very glad because the best thing

to come out of all of this is that,

we have become friends.

- You're right.

I'll be going to the states
in two years if I'm lucky.

(laughing)

- You may be free in a year in a half

if you behave yourself well.

All right, then he'll be
able to see you at Christmas.

- Then I'm looking forward
to seeing you at Christmas.
