"New York 1994"

you should've sent someone

boss's order

told me to take you directly to see him in the office

where else would I go?

The 90s was an era...

Of deng xiaoping...

Implementing economic reform for new China

the wave hit us kids of Shanghai first

in no time...

We were dazzled by the foreign glamour

many began to fantasize about the western gold...

Waiting for anyone to pick up

Sorry, sorry

Wait for me here

- Who's the girl? - Not my cup of tea

is she my birthday present?

Come in

leave your stuff

The guest room

help yourself

Want a drink?

Where is the grand Shanghai hotel?

It's gone bankrupt today

they should've received the fax now

the 200 working visas are busted

you're the fortunate one

it's a legitimate bankruptcy

as you saw earlier

downey is a first-class lawyer

lawyer? Or triad?

Does it matter?

This is New York

What about lu tu?

For whom did lu tu get involved in this?

You're here now

where you've always wanted to be

lu tu is stuck in Shanghai

would you believe that I'm more worried about him?

Give lu tu a call

tell him you've arrived

let me

You can stay if you like

or leave, your choice

Have you been to 5th Avenue?

You know where it's at, right?

It is absolutely gorgeous out there

the prettiest park is central park

you know I go out there sometimes and I'll take my kids

man, we just have the greatest time

we'll be running it up and running, jumping up and down

like they have no sense at all

I'll be throwing a ball to 'em, oh man, it's just great

you know, sometimes I throw my daughter up in the air

shut up, please

I'm a new yorker

I'm fine

lu tu...

New York is so beautiful

The moment Juan walked in,

I knew she wasn't a hotel guest

she didn't fit into our world

lu tu was supposed to be off that day

but came back because of a lack of hands

meeting Juan was big bro's fate

Excuse me

which way is the laundry?

There

I heard this is the only place to clean this up, can you do it?

This is not my coat

we can try, but no guarantees

come back in two days, that'll be 100 yuan

Can I pay on pickup?

You ain't a guest here and need to pay upfront

I don't set the rules, missy

Lu tu, we know you're loaded

I'll pay you back

It's good

looking for lu tu?

He's awfully busy these days

he'll soon be promoted to captain

that's not my business

Nice humming

Here's 50 yuan

I'll pay you the rest soon

you don't need to

why should I owe you?

Just because you're loaded?

Which route're you waiting for anyway?

The last bus for ♪11 is coming next

are you coming?

Bus pass

You can't get this brand in Shanghai

is it from Hong Kong?

Are you saying...

I can afford the coat...

But not the laundry?

You said it isn't yours

my mother's

George!

George!

Marlboro!

Be careful! Mother'll get mad if it gets stained again

I'll buy you a new coat, good?

You really like me?

"Arriving in five minutes lu tu"

Big bro, the trunk

Manners! Hold on to it

That's your father, hold on to it!

Big bro was my mentor

it was him who took me into Gordon hotel

which opened my eyes and led me to today

like a brother, he initiated me into his world

I'm kun

Big bro...

Who's this Mr. money?

An American Chinese from New York

I'm sorry, the flight was delayed by 27 minutes

you must be lu tu

Mr. mi - Mr. mi

Mr. mi, let me

this way please - sure

here we are

Gordon hotel... it's been such a long time

- been two years, right? - Great memory

it's part of our job

after all, you're our guest

this way please

Kun, right?

Yes, Mr. mi

how long've you been here?

About 6 months, thank you, Mr. mi

Mr. mi

I remember that you may need this

New York time

you're thoughtful - my job

Revolution

rev... revolution

uncle xu

uncle xu

sorry for the trouble

you know the ash urn is not allowed inside

thanks - what's this?

This is insulting me!

Thanks! We must go now

lu tu...

If you hear any channel to get an American visa...

Bear uncle xu in mind

uncle xu wants to go abroad at his age?

Not him, he has a daughter

he used to work at a state-owned hotel

but he polished his english to work at Gordon

just to gain chips

for his daughter to go abroad

but shouldn't he go to Ms. Jin?

She wants to study, not to sing

Can't you even walk?

You! Know how to walk?

- Staging a new show, Ms. Jin? - Lu tu

Kate, a gift from your admirer

thank you

fashion shows are popular now

look at them! They can't even walk

you girls are no models

being goodlooking is all it takes

who comes here for the show anyway?

What do you know?

Our audience is the best set

just open your present

When you have time, find me an assistant

someone capable

the girls I got now...

They can't do anything but flaunt their looks

- you need an assistant? - Of course

a thai boss is backing me to open a club

Why don't you quit and be my manager?

Next time when Kate wants wine

you should ask Ms. Jin first

Come on

quick

big bro, this is today's gain

thank you all for your hardwork on this cold day

supper at the usual place

kun, for you

hello - kun, it's Thomas

why haven't you got off work yet? I've been waiting for awhile

come to nyny right away

got it

big bro...

Thomas wants us to join him at nyny

why? Which chick is it this time?

- Remember me in America - Louder, I can't hear you!

Remember me in America!

Brother

over here!

Thank you

look

look

put it away

someone might steal it

an American visa is an enviable item

how did you do it?

Don't ask

everyone's here

Mr. mi

You want to make it...

You have to make it in New York

or take the route of our George...

Marry an American woman

talking behind my back again?

I'm not loose, not like you

Lucy and I, it's love

- you know what's love? - Love

- love that transcends age? - You!

- Where the hell were you? - Mind your business

what's so funny?

I say, this is Thomas' big day

you'd be happy for him and drink up

did you wash your hands?

Juan

Come join us later

my good brother, Thomas...

He's leaving for New York next week

let's invite Thomas up here

for a farewell toast!

- Yeah! - Thomas!

Thomas!

Ladies and gents...

This is like a family gathering today

I, Thomas, wouldn't be standing here today...

Without the support of you lovely people

me myself

will be in New York for a new life

but I won't forget my Shanghai comrades

especially lady comrades

those who wish me a good new life

raise your glasses and bottoms up!

Thomas

we've picked a song for you, "live a dashing life"

don't be an idiot

I can't sing

I'll sing with you then

not you

to accompany me...

I need my brother

George, here

sure

"Heaven and earth last forever"

"yet men are mere travellers”

"like the ebb and flow of tides"

"grace and resentment”

"life and death"

"how many can see through them?"

I only realized later, to live a dashing life is a delusion

the world is full of con men

either you're one, or one will find you

the construction for the grand Shanghai hotel

in Manhattan is about to complete

I need to recruit 200 people

from the established hotels in Shanghai

if you can help me

I can take you to New York

thank you for the high regards

didn't my brother tell you...

America is the last place I want to be?

David

you're here too?

Every single bell boy in Shanghai is here

why can't I come?

Juan

come, Juan

- that's not cool of you - Get on

get lost at 80 mph!

I have a wife, so what?

It's not like you're a supermodel

Enjoyed the show?

Very much

the swindlers nowadays outnumber the boats in huangpu

George isn't so bad

he couldn't even dupe you

they're all crooks

except you?

Crooks shrink before my eyes

not a single face in Shanghai

can escape my eyes

are you leaving?

No, you can't!

Another drink and I'm pissed

your brother's going away, shouldn't you be pissed?

Don't let me despise you

Mr. mi's leaving? Goodbye

see you

Thomas, wake up

I know you're upset that I'm going away

you two, drink up

I came back to tell you that

I won't see you off to New York

but I'll pick you up

when you come back

now that's my man!

I'll be waiting for you in America

we'll conquer America

together

wait till you rot!

I'll rot waiting

You hanging out with David now?

Big bro lu's kid?

What's up?

Trying out big bro's tricks?

What perfume are you wearing?

Kiddo, that pickup line is so cheesy

I'm going now

see me off

Here's fine

Kiddo, are you for real?

I'm no kiddo, I'm kun

how much is it to zhoujiazui road?

Fifty

Try another line next time

Have we met before?

You remember it wrong

No, you remember it wrong

right

I remember it wrong

That day at the airport...

Big bro was taken aback by Thomas' eyes

an excited gold-digger held back by his lingering eyes

those lingering eyes would haunt big bro forever

Hey, what a coincidence

you cut your hair here, too?

When in Shanghai, I come to old liao

Mr. mi is very kind, take a seat first

goodbye - goodbye

Mr. mi, you've left this

silly me, it's a misprint

keep it and have a look

He's well-off now

migrated to America with big business

yet whenever he visits Shanghai

he comes here

to have his hair cut

he trusts no one else

A new one each day must keep you busy

I'm used to it

aren't you the same?

I'm not like you

what do you usually do after work?

Let's go to a movie

good night

another time, maybe

Juan

I'm off soon

wait for me

what for?

Tell you later

I can't tonight

another day

I ask you one more time

are you going to apologize to George?

- No - It's true that George is married

but I'm not giving you out as his mistress

he can help you go abroad... It's just an apology

no! You nag on, and I won't see anyone anymore

don't go then, I'm through with your business

you're young and pretty

but women are like the clothes you wear

they become out of fashion one day

come to think of it...

The coat you're wearing is mine

Big bro was never short of girlfriends

but Juan's eyes got him enchanted

he said those were eyes of a movie star

I didn't dare say, movie stars are forever in disguise

where's your coat?

Returned to mother

what was the waiting about?

I said I'd take you to buy new clothes

you do that to every girl you meet?

To buy new clothes?

Let go! Have you forgotten what I did to George?

I'm not afraid

I'm prepared

stop it

I'm leaving if you don't stop

I'm serious

Why didn't you say goodbye last time?

For what?

You miss me?

You probably didn't even remember my name then

right?

"Jun"

"Juan"

Take it. Take it.

Life in New York is so sweet

Life in Shanghai can be sweet, too

Mr. mi, you asked for me?

Please book a plane ticket to Hong Kong for me

the schedule's here

right away - hold on

come with me to pudong if you have some time later

I haven't taken the ferry in Shanghai for years

the ferry used to be much smaller

back in 1959, I followed my father to Hong Kong

later, he sent a letter to my uncle in America

Your going away must've saddened your father

he took me to the pier

where he saw the steamboat ready for New York

when I got on board

he told me...

To dig gold

nobody brings gold with him

until I come back from Hong Kong

you can have my car

me?

Think of it as a Christmas present

of course it isn't for free

the grand Shanghai hotel's reception is postponed

everything's a mess

there's little time left

I need you to step up for me

and invite Shanghai's best captains to participate

I'll buy drinks

"Appointment with Mr. fuyama at 2pm, call me now mother"

"appointment with Mr. fuyama at 2pm, call me now mother"

I haven't made this for some time

Is it good?

Delicious

when did you learn Japanese cooking?

This meal settles my laundry debt

we're square now

You've been to Japan? Or was it a Japanese man?

And now I've degraded to cooking for you?

I hear it's easy to make money in Japan

especially for girls

surely

being a hostess

you want me to go?

Why don't you return the call?

Another boyfriend arranged by your mother?

- You jealous? - No, not me

right, you're above that

I know I have the looks

but I don't want to count on men

mother counted on her man to get rich, and behold...

My father dumped her

now, I'm her final stake

you don't have to oblige

you know the debts she's in?

People nowadays are very snobbish

if you're ugly

they snub you

if you're pretty

they say you're out for sale

only if you're rich

or else nobody gives a shit

lu tu

I don't need your sympathy

you just need to remember how I look today

one day, when I go out and make it...

Nobody will remember the me today

Don't go to your mother anymore

I'm jealous

"how delicate are the eyes, and how gentle is the smile"

"such a stranger, and yet I feel such intimacy"

is Ms. Jin here?

She's training

- right, right. - One more time

alright

give me a minute

master, let's call it a day

practice more - I will

you stay here

- practice in your spare time - I know

take care - okay

goodbye

Ms. Jin, this is Juan

hello, I'm ruan yujuan

let's be straightforward

being my assistant is a lot of hard work

your girlfriend is a pretty one

I'm not his girlfriend

she means she doesn't need kid gloves

exactly

see, lu tu?

Not every woman needs a man to count on

sit

you speak english?

English and Japanese are fine

a bit of cantonese, too

I'm a tour guide

good, let's give it a try then

but let me make it clear

if you're just another flirty face like that one over there

I won't be easy on you

one needs the right stuff to flirt

not everybody can do it

ignore her

you have to embody the Hong Kong spirit

"fighting hard"

I know, I'll fight hard

wait

Here, a welcoming gift from me

you're lu tu's girlfriend, I won't treat you shabbily

so, I can make a fortune working for her?

Ms. Jin is opening up a club soon

she's a resourceful one

the crucial thing is, she's a woman

right?

Hey

will you get jealous, really?

If you work hard, you can make a fortune anywhere

no need to count on anybody

I'm not the jealous type

Did you make shasha steal passports for money?

Don't be bloody ridiculous

what's going on, David?

Shasha stole a passport and asked me to change it into cash

that's the truth

- girls like her... - What girls?

You asking me?

What?

Have never seen a woman before, huh?

Kun, mind yourself

- Ten us dollars? - Yes

fatty, Mr. mi said

there's a number on the 100 dollar bill he gave you

he needs to exchange it back

fatty!

Ten dollars in place of 100, huh?

Big bro...

Something wrong at home?

Sorry, big bro

go return the bill, I'll deal with you later

I met shasha at jj

not my business

jj is where to look for shasha

kun - leave me alone

you leave us

I need to talk with David

see how you've spoiled him

that's unbecoming

You are older than I

I don't want to be harsh

yes, I'm older than you

but I'm inferior to you

I don't want to be here forever

aren't you following the track of Thomas?

Help me out if you can

even if I'd have to work under you in New York

it'd be no shame

Come on! Don't play tricks

come on!

Hey, lady, what are you doing?

Yes, you

You're done if busted

Rather handsome, too

what?

I say, you're rather handsome

kiddo

Simply put, I hear you have American visas handy

- hear from whom? - Everybody knows

you and Thomas together have Mr. mi on your finger tips

I tell you, this is going to make a fortune

- what do you say? - It's ready

good, go, go, go

here, lu tu, sit

here, kun, sit

brother, you want to go the states, too?

Me? I was born under the crimson flag and grew up in new China

if there comes a day I go to America

it'd be the end of imperalism

lu tu, you've got such a great opportunity...

Let me help in your business

you can't believe every word you hear

here

right, there're con men everywhere

but you're different

what with your convertible

you and Thomas joined the hotel at eighteen

I watched you two grew up

your business is my business

so, don't just push my words aside

hesitate no more

let's go to New York and have a hell of a good time

you open doors and carry luggages in Shanghai

you'll still be doing the same in New York

and that's a hell of a good time?

Big bro...

You're not your old self anymore

you've a girlfriend now, shouldn't you be climbing higher?

Juan is so beautiful

aren't you afraid...

Another man grabs her?

Says who she's my girlfriend?

You don't like hearing it, I'll stop

driver, stop here

I'm off

where're you going?

To see my girlfriend

chins up! We're fighting time

look ahead and be confident, girls

eyes!

Be elegant, understand?

Ms. Jin, one of the costumes is wrong

it's different from the others

go get ah suk! Why tell me?

- Go! Now! - Yes

"A show of trendy songs and latest swimwear!"

It'd be the most beautiful and modern hotel in New York

Mr. mi

would you honor us with this opportunity?

It's a yes

Lu tu

auntie

your mother sent you something

come in

I'm making soup

Your mother called, she won't be back for new year's again

that's fine with me

she also said someone saw your father in New York

they saw wrong

said he's very skinny

you should visit your mother when you can,

and your father, too

not happening

my father died long ago

"Heaven and earth last forever, yet men are mere travellers”

"like the ebb and flow of tides"

"grace and resentment, life and death"

"how many can see through them?"

"Red dust rolls on, people keep falling in love"

"we meet and part as fate dictates"

"half the time awake, half the time drunk"

"at least I have you beside me in my dreams”

"I'll bet my youth for my tomorrow"

what brought you here?

Nice cap

New York Yankees!

From my mother, keep it if you want

nah, it's too valuable

"time knows not how human sorrow abounds"

"we'll do well to live a dashing life"

Nice singing

Hey, this is my seat

Monica's sick, let her sit here for a bit

what's up? Not ready yet?

Stomach flu, better if she goes to the hospital

what? What've you eaten?

How many times must I tell you to be hygienic?

And no one listens

can you make it?

- Oh my god - You got to be joking

I can't wear her clothes

Juan here seems a better fit

Juan, quick! Put this on

oh dear! She's here as your personal assistant

she couldn't handle this

shut up, you!

Get changed and keep Mr. he company

I know - hurry up

Juan

I won't repeat myself

don't put yourself above the rest of us

Isn't that Juan?

Those were the days we all fussed about New York

except lu tu

he couldn't see that what she wanted was very different from him

in the past years...

Whenever I think of this, I feel sad

Juan was no different from those con artists

setting you up with her every move

I've never forgiven Juan

you ready? Let's go

speed up

hey

no bouquet for me?

- Did I look good? - What were you doing up there?

You're here, let's go

supper time, come on

Ms. Jin...

It wasn't my intention for Juan to do such things

why get upset?

It's just catwalking

not like she was naked

you need to get a new assistant

What?

You got me here...

Now you want to get me out

catwalk today, who knows what comes tomorrow...

Whore me out?

Nobody can force me

I'm doing my job, lu tu

- I know what I'm doing - I can take care of you

take care of me... how?

Marriage?

Be your wife?

Whatever

I don't want to be your wife

We get married...

I'd cook for you for the rest of my life

forever watching you opening doors

what's wrong with opening doors?

How'd you like to see me?

I'll do it for you

You once said, all crooks

shrink before your eyes

can you look at your face and tell me

are you a crook?

That's your outfit for the market?

For work

back to Ms. Jin?

Actually, you look dashing

opening doors

Good morning, Ms. Jin

that's about right

never let a little hardship get into your...

Fighting spirit

the grand Shanghai hotel in Manhattan

will be like every top hotel on earth

a glamorous world of its own...

All gold-diggers are deprived of gold

Mr. mi is good with words

a gold-digger never has any gold to bring with him

Do I look like Thomas?

Thomas the frog

put them away, quick

Mr. mi

you're here

I want to work for you, is the offer still on?

What made you come around?

At Gordon, I'm a captain now

beyond that, it's a foreigners' game

I want to try something new

there are many variables

that we can't foresee

I understand

also

if you plan to take a cut from this, let me know

Mr. mi

if 1 just want to make some money

I can always bow for more tips

I'll recruit for you

I'll review the people carefully

I've seen the faces of those

who've given up everything to leave the country

take off your watch

New York time

Thank you

never saw so many us bills before, right?

These 22 applicants...

When can they get the contract for a visa?

Not these seven

not again!

Five down last time, and now seven?

You know it cost them an arm and a leg for this

they're either too old, or too young

some don't even speak english, they won't pass the training

not them

the money is here, you want me to give it back?

It's how it is, give it back

You awful comprador

big bro

Mr. mi is getting anxious with the recruitment

can't you be more flexible?

So that they get sent back after arriving there?

Don't worry, qi will come again tomorrow

he's not really upset but testing my bottom line

uncle xu

lu tu, you're hard to catch nowadays

you catch me all right

what?

Still sending your daughter abroad?

Uni graduation coming soon

she's a hardworking kid

all she needs is a chance

look at me, I've come as far as I could

but I want her to succeed

isn't Kate there already?

Must I go up, too?

I know what you're thinking

Mr. he runs an artwork business

he isn't your average prosperous boss

anyway, it's just a drink

you silly girl, be worldly!

Mr. he

Ms. Jin, Juan

w ait for us next door

Come, take a seat

Ms. Jin, you're so beautiful

thank you

sit, Juan

Ms. Jin

I'm interested in the operation of your business

but...

Before you tell me

I want to hear it from Juan first

I'll get another bottle of wine

sure - excuse me

don't mess this up

Mr. he may like you, but you need to be generous

don't make a fool out of yourself

a woman needs more than a face

to master the game

leave me out of your shady business!

You bloody hell dare slap me?

- Stop her! Stop her! - What're you doing?

- Mr. he - Put that down, move over

not leaving with me is one thing, but slapping me!

Mr. he, don't be mad

we're here to talk business

you want a fling with my girls? Fine

but only if the girl is willing

ok, you tell her to come out and

apologize to me till I'm happy, then we'll see

now you listen up, he

I'm no pimp

I've met plenty wealthier than you

bugger off if you can't play to the rules

you!

It only takes a little bit

and you can't ride your high horse anymore

Kate!

- What're you doing? - Where's Mr. he?

No idea, put the glass down

what do you care for someone who's ruined everything for us?

Great! You cover her, lu tu covers her

I can't touch her!

Scream all you can! It's milk

get lost! I don't want to see you again

It's me who won't see you again

you're so dated

go

I used to sing this in my younger days

she isn't that good

I started with yue opera when I was little

I didn't have much talent with my voice

but was a hardworking one

back then in Hong Kong and southeast Asia

my fans lined up when we went touring

This Kate

and her singing

are no match to me in my prime

"In bits and pieces but I treasure”

"amidst the immense mist-covered sea"

"I Cherish the memory of the passing years"

"the scene changes”

"the situation does too"

"the mood is here to stay”

"what is left only memory"

"in bits and pieces but I treasure”

"amidst the immense mist-covered sea"

"I Cherish the memory of the passing years"

"the scene changes”

"the situation does too"

"the mood is here to stay”

Juan

if I were you

I'd hold onto a man like that

while I were still young

A Chinese-thai

last name he

find Mr. he, then comes Mr. Zhang and Mr. li...

You beat them up too?

I won't let you be bullied anymore

then take me with you to New York

We're staying here

- we don't go anywhere - I said take me to New York

I've had enough of muddling along here!

Did you hear my words?

You're only with me so we'd go to America?

Yes

I talked about marriage once, you said nothing

remember?

Want me to ask you again?

I'm sleeping

My dad abandoned my mom to escape his debts

she later saw him straying, a homeless man

- she didn't raise a finger - I say

we get married

That's not the same thing

okay?

You keep asking me to remember you, why?

Because I know...

We won't be together forever

it may be a year

a month

or even a day

I know

You're right

in Shanghai

you're lu tu who everyone envies

while me, ruan yujuan

can only stand as equals with you

if I leave Shanghai behind

you always ask people, why go abroad?

Let me tell you

within the heart of every person who departs

there's a person they love so much

yet above their reach

Thank you

Mr. mi - looking for lu tu?

I know he's not here

you want to go to New York?

Mr. mi always knows, yes, I do

but I'm short of money

can I ask you for a favor?

I'll pay you back double once I make it

You're fortunate

somebody paid me already

and he won't let me tell you

I can never find you

and you never show up for my introductions

going like this, who's over there to take care of you?

An old friend, she married to New York

I've contacted her, she'll take me in

what old friend that I've never heard of?

Is her husband wealthy?

How come she hasn't hooked one up for you? Liar

While you're in New York

find a nice man for yourself

choose carefully

and don't be too unyielding

don't end up like me

I picked the wrong man

and bore the shame forever

When I've made it

I'll come back for you

Goodbye - goodbye

We can go now

we didn't know until later that Juan had gone to America

snatching big bro's heart

it wouldn't be so bad if their story had ended there

alas, it hadn't

You're leaving

I'm leaving

that's not enough

I've taken my toefl

and am accepted by an American university

taxis can't take me there

You never really knew me

Goodbye, kiddo

Get the hell out of my way!

- He's a victim, too - How does that help?

So many people's money...

Am I accountable?

Stop shouting! We're investigating

I'll let you off the rope today

be assured I'll be back

brother qi

brother qi

I'll be back

Kun

uncle xu

we can't reach either Mr. mi or Mr. luo

now you're the only one in charge here

please come to the police station with us

Lu tu

New York is so beautiful

Where's lu tu?

In New York - in New York?

See these people? You swindled their money

if you don't get a beating today

there'd be no end to this

Lu tu is Mel!

I am lu tu!

Come on

Thank you

His name is Thomas

but he is not here

You have anything else for me?

No, no, go

Downey is waiting for you downstairs sweetheart

Taxi!

They confiscated my passport once I arrived

then locked me up in a warehouse in the countryside

there were guards every day

until Mr. mi came

they released me

- Why didn't you go to the police? - The police?

Would that help? This is New York, not Shanghai

That downey

he's a mafia

I'm still alive, with a job

I'm content

But it's different here

this is New York

opening doors is step one

has Shanghai got this?

Shanghai has Gordon hotel, no more

there will be a day

I too will live in those highrises

Where's Juan?

I don't know

- let her go, you won't find her - How do I find her?

I heard she's with that downey now

how do I find downey then?

I really don't know

what I heard is...

He has bought some kind of a theater

on Broadway

lu tu

you're on the other side of the world

Not used to this kind of coffee anymore, right?

Speak up, I don't have time

lu tu is here

don't tell him where I am

Thank you

According to Thomas

big bro's final days in New York were hollow

I can only hope he found all these worthwhile

How many are we talking about?

The whole group wants to stay

how many in the whole group?

About sixteen

one, six... sixteen?

Sixteen

that's fine

you'd be dealing with Juan, okay?

She is gonna be the intermediate

okay

excuse me

Why're you here?

I sent you here

I'm bringing you back

you misread

I myself wanted to be here

I'm not returning

lu tu

all has changed

go now

Finally, you're here

He only came to see me

he'll leave at once

why don't you introduce him to downey?

You're under downey

let him come to me

I've been looking for him

leave!

- I came to take you back - She won't go with you

Juan has found the life she wants

all on her own

but you, lu tu

if only you came with me

it would have been a different scenario

New York time

take it back

you've lost weight

have gone through a lot, huh?

Lu tu

I'll buy you a new one

watches like these...

Plenty in New York

get out of my way!

Let go!

I'm coming with you, okay? I'm coming

I'm coming

Stay!

She's with downey now

doing even better than me

trust me

the only reason I'm here is because you conned me

I won't trust another word of yours

fire if you want

she's the one who conned you

she chose to become downey's woman

the moment you walk out here, she'll have downey kill you

has she cast a spell on you?

I'll kill her

you come with me

we'll start over

Lu tu

lu tu

go, go

go

Go

Go, go

This way

Juan

Juan, Juan

lu tu

I can't go back

You leave

Juan, Juan

I'm staying

to take back everything...

That we've lost

Juan

Juan

Juan

no

Please

don't

"Shang hai 2003"

ten years on

the gold rush had subsided

Juan, who had truly became a new yorker

finally decided to bring big bro back to Shanghai one day

the whole gang was there to pick him up

"ruan yu Juan lu tu"

That night

I cried and cried
