"No Smoking"

Get your baggage from over there.

Sir, good afternoon!

Time to change shift.

Get the key quick...

Get the key quick!

Take off your trousers.

How's the situation over in Phnom Penh?

A lot of personnel changes.

The situation can still be considered stable.

What's up?

Officer, you can't take my money away.

My fault, I did not declare.

This is a matter of life and death.

Please give it back to me!

- Brother! - What's up?

It's his, give it back to him.

Everything returned.

Thanks!

Cheung Chi-mun, you're free to leave prison.

Mark!

I wasn't able to pick you up at the airport,

but you picked me up at prison!

Let's go!

Where's Dad?

Uncle's waiting for you at the drug store.

Yesterday I almost lost my life at the airport.

If I hadn't paid them off,

we'd be meeting inside prison instead of out.

When those customs officers see money,

their eyes light up like car headlights.

Mark, you went through a lot of trouble for me.

Pedicab!

It's a good thing they like money, or you'd still be rotting in jail.

Bye bye!

- No. 298 Chen Hing Road. - OK.

"Bye bye!"

They don't know what you're saying!

In Hong Kong, what do you hear about the war?

We've got a news black-out, don't know a thing.

The radio and newspapers all report...

the Viet Cong are very close to the city. The situation is terrible.

It's good you've come back. Help me persuade Dad.

He's not convinced that the situation is bad.

You said there's a news black-out here.

How can anybody know what's going on?

The city looks peaceful enough.

Mun, didn't you apply for Uncle's visa?

The line outside Immigration goes on forever.

You get nowhere without bribes.

The Chinese have been here for decades.

Asking them to shut down their business

is worse than killing them.

Why do you think I worked in the black market?

To get him a passport.

And it all came to nothing.

Which one of us gets them?

They're yours!

How are you?

Bye bye!

Student demonstration.

Let's split!

Turn over there, quick!

Hurry up!

Stay away!

The pedicab's broken down.

Get off and push!

Great! Chicken buttocks!

Pat, get the soy sauce.

Uncle, here's some wine.

I put Chinese wine in a foreign brandy bottle

Almost got confiscated in customs.

Drink up so it won't go to waste.

Yeah!

You're clever to put the wine in a brandy bottle.

How do you want it?

Mainland Chinese products aren't allowed in,

you have to remove the label or change the bottle.

Did you go to Mainland China to see your Dad?

How can I go there now?

It's chaos there with the 'Cultural Revolution'.

Even if I went, I wouldn't know how to find him?

We've been separated for over ten years.

Uncle, 1 bought this at the China Products Store.

- This is good wine! - Come on.

Pat, not fish sauce.

I hate fish sauce!

I want soy sauce. Soy!

The black stuff. Get going!

This doesn't go well with soy sauce!

Who's that kid?

When the Viet Cong entered Hue, he was separated from his parents.

I took pity on him and took him in.

When I asked him his name,

he just stammered. I didn't understand what he said.

So I call him Pat.

Dad!

What was Dad gabbing about?

We need money to get Dad out of here.

I was already arrested by them once.

A second time would be very dangerous.

But there's a war going on.

It's dangerous no matter what you do.

Anyway, nothing ventured, nothing gained!

Who are you looking for?

My ex-boss went to Thailand.

When I was in prison, Chung told me of a new buyer.

Chow Ying-kit.

I'm familiar with Saigon. Maybe I'll recognize this Chow.

Which one of us gets her?

She's mine!

A reaction!

Not the reaction we hoped for!

- Are you Cheung Chi-mun? - Hello!

How are you?

- This is my cousin, Mark. - How are you?

Let's go over there.

Mr. Cheung, you've just gotten out of prison.

You're fast at making connections.

You want to get us into trouble?

Chung introduced me.

- Chung? - Really!

I can tell the soldiers outside to use you for target practice!

What's the matter?

They're looking for Chow Ying-kit.

These two guys are friends of mine.

Let me talk to them. It's OK.

Leave!

Does she know us?

This is your territory. Why ask me?

You're looking for Chow Ying-kit?

He's "10th Uncle", the boss here. I'm Chow Ying-kit.

Bong is a complicated fellow.

He doesn't need you for the black market.

There's lots of others ways to make money!

Why choose this path?

You've been in prison.

If Bong cheats you, and you're arrested again,

you'll never see Hong Kong again.

I've done business with Bong twice.

He could have betrayed me long ago.

You say that Bong's complicated.

Aren't all of us in this business?

Mr. Cheung, you're an outsider.

We're all Chinese,

let me give you a piece of advice!

Don't get involved in things you can't control.

Good-bye!

Miss Chow.

Please don't blame us for our ignorance.

We're doing this for my uncle!

You know how these old Chinese are.

They struggle all their lives to get ahead.

If I can't get them out of here, what is it all for?

So I've come back to take them to Hong Kong.

I don't want to gamble like this.

You've seen this country everyone gambles.

Including this war!

Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring!

Our gambling chips are being played by others.

We have no control over who wins or loses.

Not even a choice over whether to play or not.

If this were our own place,

we wouldn't need to leave.

Everyone here tonight is escaping.

Leaving or staying. It's all a gamble.

You are very capable!

If you don't serve as the casino's banker,

we won't even have a chance to gamble.

You said that we're all Chinese.

Try to see it from our perspective.

Tell us what to do?

Everything is a gamble.

According to my usual practice, I never conduct business here.

As to the time and place, I'll have someone contact you.

What are you doing?

- I'll answer the phone - Don't bother. I'll do it.

It's just the phone! Why so anxious?

It's Mun's girlfriend...

Asking him to have a last fling.

And you?

- What are you so nervous about? - Me?

Waiting for your girlfriend, too?

Mun and I met that girl at the same time,

so part of the fling should be mine.

I'm going over now for my phone fling.

His Dad and I used to be just like that, too.

It's hard to escape the tender trap!

What are you laughing at?

You don't even know what I'm talking about!

Eat your dinner!

Let me have the phone!

Hello, Miss Chow.

Why isn't she saying anything?

- She already hung up. - Playing tricks on me!

What's up?

Tonight at 8:30 at the Alhambra Theatre.

Miss Chow, it's getting late. Still want to wait?

This car's from the Foreign Ministry. They wouldn't dare do anything rash.

Don't try anything!

We have a permit from the Foreign Ministry.

- Bong! - Mun! You haven't stopped the car yet!

Bong!

- Bong! - Mun!

Hello...!

We've been waiting for you a long time.

- This is my cousin. - How are you?

Please excuse us for being late, Miss Chow.

Miss Chow Ying-kit is the buyer I told you about.

This is my cousin, Mark.

Miss Chow, this is Bong.

Pleased to meet you!

Let me help you with this.

Go away!

Move out of the way! Over there!

You, too. Hurry up!

Don't move.

Search him!

Bong!

Have some gum.

Search him!

The woman has a gun. See if it's real.

How could it be real?

What?

- What's up? - Not your business, go!

Come on! Hurry up!

Go where?

Upstairs.

Make a thorough search.

Search upstairs. Kill anyone you see!

We work well together!

Mark, stay here. I'll stop Bong from getting away.

Don't go there!

It's too dangerous!

The army is on its way up.

Sooner or later we'll have to make our escape.

Cover me. I'll get the gold back.

No bullets left!

There's still someone upstairs.

Mun, forget about the money. Let's get out of here.

What about Miss Chow? Where's Miss Chow?

Over there!

Shit!

Hurry! Take a jump!

Mark...!

Mark...!

Mark, are you OK?

You can't get far!

Quick, get off!

- Officer, take care of them. - Yes, Sir!

We belong to the Headquarters.

You have violated the law.

Put down your arms!

Very proud of yourself, aren't you?

Did you see Bong's expression?

You certainly earned your commission.

Otherwise, why go to so much trouble?

I worship you more than any other woman on earth!

More than your own mother?

Miss Chow.

Let me return this to you.

I hope I didn't get your lipstick dirty.

I'd never thought you'd take such good care of it!

I forgot all about it!

Old songs always make for great listening.

Proof that old things are better than new ones.

This is how I feel.

Do you agree with me?

10th Uncle, what are you trying to say?

I think you still remember Mr. Ho.

He made you what you are today.

Could you ever forget him?

Ho disappeared in Holland 3 years ago.

I miss him very much!

If it weren't for him,

I wouldn't have the success I have today.

You don't have to remind me.

What is Ho's relationship to you?

More than ten years ago when Ho was just starting out,

he came into the bar with 2 guns in hand.

I was singing in the bar at the time.

I thought... Just one man against ten...

I acted on impulse and grabbed a knife.

I saved his life.

Afterwards, I traveled the world with him.

We were together a long time.

He was not only my lover but also my best friend.

Now his enemies are out to kill him,

so he's disappeared for 3 years.

Do you know what it feels like to lose someone dear?

The dearest person to me is my father.

I don't know what's happened to him.

Nobody knows if he's alive or dead?

All these years, everything I've done...

has been for my uncle and my cousin, Mun.

I don't dare to have any hopes for myself.

I only know...

the bigger the hopes, the greater the disappointment.

Actually, hopes are just a big gamble.

If you lose, it's very painful.

I'd rather not even try.

Before, when I was poor... I just wanted to make it big.

Now, I have money, position,

everything but a close friend.

It's hard to make it to the top, but impossible to go back.

There are many things, I can look back and observe,

but I can't go back!

Since you don't expect too much, you should be happier than me.

It's been a long time since I talked so much!

Really?

You... Don't run.

Stop crying!

What's the use of going?

In 1997, Hong Kong will return to China.

We'll just have to come back here.

Vietnam has been at war for so many years.

The situation here is no worse than before.

Uncle, it's 1974, 25 years until 1997!

That's a long time!

Might as well go back for a look.

- Yeah! - Let's go!

It's all a matter of fate.

Everything is pre-ordained.

Mark, the taxi's waiting.

We're carrying a lot of cash! Will customs give us trouble?

Don't worry. Kit knows those guys.

She'll arrange matters for us at the airport.

That's nice.

20 old years, very hard to give up.

Pat!

Be careful!

The camera!

Turn off the lights!

I almost forgot we weren't coming back!

Uncle, I'll pack it for you

This money's for you. Don't waste it!

I'll come back when things have settled down.

Take good care of your health.

Don't forget to close the windows at night.

Wipe away the dust when you have time.

It's up to you to take care of this big place.

On clear days, take the medicine out to dry.

We're running out of time, Dad. Hurry up!

The taxi meter is running!

Let the medicine get mouldy.

Why are you so reluctant to leave this shop?

I'll get you a new one in Hong Kong.

Does he even understand what you're saying?

He understand more than you.

I looked at the sign,

and he knew to take it down.

Why didn't you take it down?

So what if he took it down.

Now, it's up to me to get it to the airport.

Let's go! The plane won't wait for us

Why are you so impatient?

I'll tell Pat to hang it back up. I'm not going!

I went to a lot of trouble to get your exit permit.

Don't make all of us miss the plane!

You can write a detailed letter from Hong Kong.

Say no more!

This shop will still be your home!

OK, I'm going.

- I'll go in and get a luggage cart. - Alright!

This sign is a lot of trouble.

Be careful with that signboard!

I told you not to bring it!

Mun!

- You go in first. I look for Kit. - Fine.

Dad, let's go.

Mun!

Mun! Mun! Look!

Mun!

It's great seeing you!

- Mark? - He went over there to look for you.

Kit, we have a lot of US dollars on us.

Will we have any problems?

I'll find a way.

I'm Mun's Dad.

Uncle, I'm Chow Ying-kit.

Miss Chow.

Pleased to meet you. I'll go look for Mark.

Alright!

Mun,

is she the "last fling"?

Dad, what do you mean by "last fling"?

She's going with us.

Don't jinx us by saying unlucky things!

Wait for me here.

Kit!

What's the matter?

There are a lot of new people in Customs.

Don't worry, it'll be OK.

I'll take another look. Get in line first.

Don't push!

Don't take too long. Time to board the plane.

Officer, have a drink on me!

Trying to bribe me?

Want to get me in trouble? Go away!

He has heart trouble. Don't push him

This suitcase won't open. Cut it open

Don't ruin it!

- 2nd Uncle! - Sit down!

- Dad! - 2nd Uncle!

Dad, where's your medicine? Dad...!

Mun, hurry up!

Passengers on Flight 175, please board immediately.

I'm afraid I won't make it.

You'll make it to Hong Kong for sure, Uncle.

For sure, Uncle.

Attention, passengers on Flight 175, please board the plane immediately.

Dad, I found it. Take your medicine. Hurry!

You'll be fine once you swallow it.

Dad, how are you?

Dad!

He took our passports!

Take care of him!

- No way! - You asshole!

Don't be anything rash!

Come on, I dare you!

Come on.

Stay where you are.

Dad, feeling better?

Come on! I have nothing to lose.

Where is Mark?

Come on!

Packing up?

Nobody can stop me! Come on!

Time to leave.

Get on the plane, we'll be back in Hong Kong soon.

Kit!

- Don't move! - Why are you arresting me?

You're accused of accepting bribes.

Please come with us for further investigation.

What proof do you have?

A witness.

Gather your things. You can leave.

- You're OK? - Fine.

- Better get on the plane fast! - What about you?

I have to stay behind as a witness.

Uncle! Go with your mind at ease.

You won't have to be subjected to this anymore.

We accused that Customs officer of corruption.

So I have to stay here and be a witness in court.

We'll all meet again in Hong Kong.

Take care!

You, too!

Hurry up and get on the plane!

"No Smoking"

"K & M Car wash"

Only a few hours away to a world that is completely different.

Thinking about Kit?

What's the use?

What are you to her?

You're wasting your time.

She is too good for you.

But of all the girls in the world,

she's the one I'll never forget.

Actually, all men are alike.

We chase after the girls like mad,

but once we get them, we probably cast them aside.

Good luck!

Due to the Watergate incident,

the U.S. Congress has requested President Nixon's resignation.

According to observers, after Nixon resigns,

the situation in Vietnam will worsen.

But the South Vietnamese government emphasizes...

they have confidence in the current situation,

and will continue their liberal economic policies.

Next Monday, the President of Vietnam

will convene an emergency meeting

to deal fairly an impartially with the serious problem of corruption.

He pledges to the National Council

that the government will be cleaned up.

Get out of the way!

On South Vietnam last Saturday,

returns reports a fierce aerial attack.

Casualty figures are still unavailable.

Due to the current instability in Vietnam,

many Vietnamese boat people have arrived HK during the past few days.

See what is happening over there!

Good thing we have left.

So what, out of sight, out of mind.

Cousin Mark, I am fresh from China.

Please be patient with my ignorance.

Silly! I shouldn't have gotten mad. Never mind!

You shouldn't miss dinner. You'll get sick.

Have some soup.

Thanks!

Cousin Mark, if there's anything I can do, just let me know!

OK!

Vietnam is in chaos.

I wonder how Kit is?

I hope she's OK.

We still haven't had any news about her.

Cousin Mark,

there's a man at the door with a flat tire.

You want to repair it?

Let me take a look.

Hey, friend! Which tire is flat?

Mun!

Mun, look who's here!

- Mun! - Come on!

What's the matter? Can't fix it?

Tell him to leave it here.

Look who's come!

Who?

Kit!

I thought I'd have to go to Saigon to find out!

Mark and I talk about you all day and night.

I mussed your hair!

Great! The family has been reunited!

- Uncle! - Dad!?

Mun goes to the airport everyday to wait for you.

Mark, take her things inside.

Uncle.

She has her own home. How can you ask her to move in here?

It'll happen sooner or later.

I feel like I'm a member of the family.

That's good!

I'll have Ling make you some nourishing soup.

Her chicken soup is great.

It's right that you consider this your home.

You're much too skinny. You need a few pounds more.

Sorry!

But we can't immediately pay back

the funds your Evergreen Company loaned us.

We're very grateful that Miss Chow understands.

Thanks!

Your government is prejudiced against the Chinese.

Life and money are problems! If only there was peace.

We still need to find a place to settle.

The British government's no help. We rely on you.

I'll arrange passports for you.

Once you go overseas, you can start a new.

Miss Chow, we're really depending on you!

- Don't mention it. - Bye bye!

Have you thought about where you want to go?

What a pain! I've heard enough travel tips,

but I still can't decide where to take Kit!

Sit down. You'll get inspired. Think hard.

If we don't think of a place before Kit gets here,

it will be very embarrassing.

Yeah, I know.

Mark, last night Dad chattered away all night.

He asked if we were after the same "fling"?

What else did he say?

That the same thing happened between him and your Dad,

so your Dad refused to attend my Dad's wedding.

Your Dad's petty.

No. He was just unlucky!

So he refused to come and congratulate my Dad.

Your Dad's petty.

- No, your Dad's petty! - Your Dad!

Your Dad's more petty than mine!

No, your Dad's...

- Hey! What are you doing? - Kit!

You don't look too happy.

It's nothing.

He says that tonight you would bring a black silk scarf.

He also said, if he didn't invite you to dance the first dance,

- it'd be an insult to his father. - Really?

That's not petty?

We're going dancing?

- He's joking. - No, I mean it!

Sorry. I have sweaty palms.

How do you know that night club manager?

Our company has shares in this place.

Ho invests in everything!

Excuse me, boss woman!

Mr. Cheung?

I'm Judy the mama-san of Group 38.

Why don't you find a hostess to keep your company?

Drink up! Booze up!

Have a seat!

Let me introduce you. This is my cousin, Mun.

Miss Chow.

Mark, let's just sit and chat.

No need for so many hostesses.

Silly! In this kind of a place,

how can you not have hostesses keep you company?

Kit, you're the boss here.

Why so few hostesses to serve us?

You're not a very good friend!

- Mr. Cheung, Miss Chow. - Mama-san.

- This is Baby. - Baby, take a seat.

- Maggie! - This is my cousin, Mun.

- Christine! - How are you?

This is Rolla.

How are you?

- Come on. Take a seat! - Thank you!

Come, sit here.

Mark, we're leaving.

- Did you listen it? Let's go! - Let's go!

Boss, pass a message to Mama-san,

I'm very happy tonight.

I want her and her... to join me for a late snack.

Thanks!

Drink up! Bottoms up!

Find out what Mr. Cheung desires,

and put it on my company's bill.

Thanks a lot!

You can treat me whenever I come here.

Have a good time. I'm leaving now.

Kit, I'll take you home.

Oh, so Mr. Cheung is a friend of Miss Chow's.

Miss Chow.

Miss Chow...

Mark, Kit is crying outside. Go and see her.

Why is she crying? Did you make her angry?

Of course not.

It's you who made her angry. Come on.

What's it have to do with me?

You said you were taking her home. Go ahead!

Come on.

- Miss Chow? - In the car.

- Where? - Come on!

Kit!

See what you've done! Go and talk to her!

Kit!

Kit! She threw up all over the car. Go and talk to her.

- Kit! - Come on, Mun.

You take her home.

What's the matter?

Why do you want to go off by yourself?

Why can't we three go together?

There are a lot of things

we can't do together.

Don't you and Kit involve me in your affairs.

I'm giving you the chance to take her back home.

You once said,

either one of us gets her, there will be no grudges.

What do you mean by that?

You're giving me a chance to be with Kit,

right?

Mun, I know how you feel about Kit.

Don't worry, I'll never say you're petty.

Pursue her whole-heartedly. Don't disappoint Uncle.

Two cousins after the same girl,

with one not attending the other's wedding party.

Mark!

Mark!

Kit, I'm Mun, I'm not Mark.

I know. Take me home.

Mr. Cheung. Your car is over there. Your keys.

- I'm not leaving yet. - OK.

Everything will work out.

The Yanks and Vietnamese are having peace talks.

There won't be any more problems.

Miss Chow wanted us to move back to Hong Kong.

That was an unwise move.

Hong Kong is more peaceful.

So we're refugees now!

Kit, they said you were drunk.

So I didn't want to wake you up.

I love the way you redecorated my place.

I almost didn't recognize my old office!

Fortunately, you haven't changed.

Just a bit thinner.

You surely have many problems you can't solve.

I've come back to help you.

Uncle! Let me do that!

We're having our grand opening. Happy?

Of course I'm happy.

For three years I've hidden in Holland,

Cheng from Thailand was on my trail.

Day and night he had assassins after me.

I felt like a caged dog.

I was at the end of my rope.

Now Cheng has been shot dead...

He never dreamt that the bullet in his head is my personal gift to him.

A brand new start!

Grand opening!

We've finally made it!

I've had a lot of time to think these 3 years.

All day I'd ask myself...

where I was in Holland?

How could Cheng find out?

My betrayer must be a trusted friend.

Grand opening! Here's a lucky packet!

A nice bonus!

It's folding money!

10th uncle, tell everybody how Cheng knew my every movement?

Mr. Ho, outsiders see how close we are

and try to drive a wedge between us.

If I did such a despicable thing,

would I have the guts to meet you face to face?

You don't fear your 2 kids at college in the U.S.

may not live to graduate?

Tell everyone.

How there could be so many killers waiting for me at that Dutch bank?

How did your Swiss bank account become US$2 million richer?

Mr. Ho, I've let you down. I was wrong.

Since you've told me so much,

I won't make it hard on your family.

I'll let you do the honorable thing.

Stay where you are! I'll shoot anyone who tries something!

Mr. Ho, let me get out of this alive!

Don't force me, Mr. Ho!

You have the guts to betray me,

why not shoot me?

Afraid you can't shoot?

Fire!

They're blank!

Miss Chow is busy?

This lucky packet is for you.

Mr. Ho, let me go!

I didn't want this to happen.

I hate people who lack a fighting spirit.

I was forced into it by that gang! Let me go!

In three years, I never killed one of my own.

That's because you never lost anything.

I grew up in the Cambodian war.

I lost far too many things.

So I don't let go of things very easily!

Uncle!

Uncle, are you all right?

Dad!

- Uncle. - Uncle.

I'm Ho Cheung-ching. Maybe you've heard my name.

Both of you are very capable.

Opening a garage so soon after leaving Vietnam!

You are smart!

No matter where you go, you'll make good.

You two were good companions to Miss Chow.

Every man has his price.

I'll pay you compensation.

You've been here long enough

I want you to leave Hong Kong.

You're lucky to leave alive. Don't come back.

Take it easy!

Don't think that just because you left Vietnam,

and came here that things would be peaceful.

You're lucky the flower basket didn't kill you.

Count yourself lucky.

But luck doesn't last forever!

I've said what I wanted to say. You may leave.

- Go to hell! - Mun!

You have one bullet. See who has the guts to fire.

Not many willing to roll the dice in this world.

If you can't afford to gamble, don't gamble!

I know, there is no justice.

Mark, forget about me. Kill the bastard.

Don't act rashly!

You think there's a choice?

No!

If there were a choice,

millions of Vietnamese wouldn't be trying to escape.

There wouldn't be so many beggars on the street.

The world wouldn't have so many people starving.

People don't have choices!

Don't worry about me!

Don't give up your gun!

Mun!

What is happening to us?

Dad, I should have let you stay in Vietnam.

We went through so much to bring you here.

If you'd stayed in Saigon, you'd still be alive.

I can't believe this is happening on your home country.

My fault!

Kit's come to pay her last respects to Dad.

I'm responsible for his death.

Don't be silly. You didn't send those flowers.

If it weren't for me, Uncle wouldn't have died.

You mustn't stay apart because of me.

Kit, there isn't any more time.

They're forcing us to leave Hong Kong.

Will you agree to go away with Mark?

I'll help Mark pack his things.

Tomorrow I'll buy plane tickets and see you off.

Mun, you have to go, too.

You and Ling can get into Taiwan.

Kit and I have passports good for Canada.

Later we'll find a way to get back together.

Tell Ling, We all leave tomorrow.

OK. I'll find Ling and start packing

Ling, you just got out of Mainland China.

Hong Kong should have been a safe haven for you.

Now you're being forced to leave.

But I can't go with you.

In the future, you'll have to depend on yourself.

I'm sorry!

1 brought you a gift from Vietnam.

But I never had the chance to give it to you.

- See if you like it? - Thanks!

It's beautiful.

- Try it on and see. - Alright.

No matter what happens tomorrow,

we must treasure the moments we have together.

Sorry, I lied to you.

I had no intention to leave you.

Don't seek revenge on Ho.

You two have no way to deal with Ho.

I can. If I must perish with him, so be it.

I started all this trouble.

Let me settle the old scores with him.

Settle them? How can you do that?

I have ways, but you mustn't interfere.

Ho has to go back to Vietnam to receive his inheritance.

I'll settle everything with him over there.

Look after Mark, pacify him.

What do you plan to do?

I'll take the morning plane with Ho.

I know that Mark will never forgive me.

If I never make it back alive.

I hope that you'll explain everything to him.

Tell Mark that I didn't betray him.

I hope he'll understand and not hate me.

It doesn't look like Saigon will last much longer.

So we must get our money out while there's time.

The situation out there reminds me of 1945.

The Japanese Army was retreating from Indochina.

My Dad was a Japanese businessman here.

But he couldn't bear to leave his property behind.

In the end, he was executed by the guerillas.

I was 6 at the time.

My Chinese name Ho means survival.

All these years I rarely use my Japanese name Tanaka.

Go away!

You're in my way!

Mr. Ho, they are inspecting cars in front of us.

Hands up, freeze!

Open the door, get out!

Everything will be alright.

Phone me as soon as you and Ling get to Taiwan.

Take care!

- Where are you going? - The airport.

- You bought the plane tickets? - Yeah.

What about Kit? You're not waiting for her?

We arranged to meet at the airport.

She didn't say she was going to the airport.

We arranged it. She'll be there for sure.

Mark, don't lie. Kit isn't even in Hong Kong.

Where is she?

She took the morning flight to Vietnam.

She went with Ho.

So there's no need for you to go looking for Ho.

Pat!

Anybody here?

It's Pat!

Pat! Don't shoot!

Mark!

You forgot us so quickly!

Mun, look! He's a soldier!

Mun!

Why do you choose to come back at a time like this?

How is Uncle in Hong Kong?

Did he receive any of my letters?

What did he say?

He asked how my father is doing in Hong Kong?

And if received his letter?

All phone have been cut off due to the curfew.

What did he say?

With the Yanks leaving, there's an oil shortage.

The phones are out of order, too.

So many restaurants here.

We'll have to split up and search for Kit.

There's lots of money to make from ransacking houses.

- Sir! - What the matter?

Miss Chow, so we went again!

In this world, those who should die never die!

Why should people like you survive?

Thanks to you I was jailed for 2 months.

But you won't be so lucky this time.

Kill them.

Wait a minute.

You're Bong?

I'm Ho. Kit's boss.

I'd like to talk business with you.

If we can work together,

I'll give you US$3 million.

We'll both come out ahead.

OK, but I won't let you leave my side.

No problem, But I have one condition.

I hear that all flights might stop at any moment.

You army people have your own methods.

If you can get me some documents,

and use military connections to get us out,

I'll pay you immediately.

Hurry up! Be careful!

Mun!

Mun, I found Ms. Chow.

You found Ms. Chow? Has Mark come back?

Mark hasn't come back yet.

But Miss Chow only wants to see you.

Let's not wait for Mark.

I'll take you over to Miss Chow's.

If she leaves it'll be impossible to find her again.

We better hurry!

You promised you would let me handle it my own way.

Mark's here, too. He really wants to see you.

Here are two plane tickets.

Saigon will fall soon. All flights have stopped.

Only one last plane tomorrow. These are the last two seats.

You and Mark must go.

We're Hong Kong citizens, we're not in any danger.

There's a war going on here.

With a change in government, anything can happen.

Kit, if it's so serious, you should come with us.

I still have business to attend to here.

Don't worry. Ho and Bong have an agreement.

We'll get out with the military's help.

No way! I can't let you leave us again!

The only reason we came back was for you.

I want to take you back to see Mark.

Mun, when you're in the midst of a war,

you must put your emotions aside, and just survive!

I shouldn't have let you come back.

You can't solve all of our problems by yourself.

I'll tell Pat to bring Mark here.

Wait for him.

I don't have time to wait.

At times like this who has the right to make requests?

Nothing is ever really one's own.

The more hopes you have, the greater the pain.

- I can't see Mark again. - No!

Kit!

Kit! Kit!

Freeze, or I'll shoot.

Stay where you are.

Why are you here?

Speak up!

Mun, how are you?

- Can you walk? - Yes!

Let's get out of here.

Over there!

You two must leave.

Don't let him get away!

Pat!

This is a wooden wall.

Mun, Kit.

Go after them!

Mun!

Who is it?

Is Mun dead?

Actually, you decided long ago to return with Ho.

So why did you see us in Hong Kong?

You knew that I came back to Saigon with Mun.

So why did you only want to see him?

You have so many secrets.

What else haven't you told me?

I have nothing to explain.

If you say I'm wrong then I'm wrong. I've never regretted anything.

You really know how to handle a gun.

You've killed so many people.

Even Mun died at your hand!

Why don't you shoot me, too?

Tell me,

how many will you kill before you're happy?

There's a reason behind our actions.

Who is right, who is wrong someday you'll understand.

When Mun came he told me over and over...

if you find someone whom you truly love,

never give them up, even if it means death.

He said that you'd never betray me.

But now I know what kind of a person you are.

Even if you aren't my enemy,

I never want to see you again as long as 1 live.

Mark! Marlid!

Mark!

Mark...!

Mun isn't dead! He's over there! Hurry!

Hurry! Come on!

- Look! - Mun!

Mark!

Mun!

Have you seen Kit?

Where's Kit?

Why isn't she with you? Kit?

This is the cash left in Vietnam.

It's mine.

No matter where I go.

Things that don't belong to you will never be yours.

Don't move!

Mr. Ho, we're both playing for the same stakes.

I'm in charge here.

You can't fight me without shattering yourself.

This world is too unfair.

The U.S. Consulate is burning its cash.

They're treating their money like garbage.

But to us, this green paper money is worth dying for and killing for.

Miss Chow, don't move!

Put your gun down!

At times like this, I realize how much we need each other.

Why did you bring a time bomb?

Mark is in Vietnam.

I know that neither of you will let the other go.

If I have to choose between you,

I'd rather die with you and not involve Mark.

What is so great about Mark,

that you would pay such a price?

When you pay the final price,

you haven't time to consider if it's worth it. Is there a choice?

OK!

Mark, where are you?

Ho

I'm not Ho.

I share the same name with God.

It exists if I want it to.

It's meaningless.

Listen, my real name is Tanaka.

It's better to know the killer's name before dying, right?

Whoever you are,

you are still responsible for what you've done.

It's becoming a slaughterhouse out there.

Everyone is out for revenge.

Welcome to our vengeful world.

This is a burning hell

and there is no way out.

I know! The last plane out of Vietnam has left.

It makes no difference if I live or die.

I just want to see blood debts paid in blood.

You're just a garage mechanic!

Remember what goes around, comes around.

You'll get what you deserve!

My gun is already out of bullets.

You have your chance.

Don't shoot!

Mark!

Kit!

After all these years with you,

the one thing I've done wrong

is injuring Miss Chow.

Mr. Ho, when you go to the airport,

the most important thing is to bring the money.

Kit!

Why did you come back?

If I didn't, I'd regret it the rest of my life.

I've never regretted anything.

Kit!

Kit!

You said good will triumph over evil,

but where is justice here?

Do we deserve to lose our closest friend?

You got her into this.

If you shoot, I'll be grateful.

Grateful for bringing Kit and me together.

Bong!

I'm going now.

Don't let Kit follow me.

Wait!

Help me!

Mun!

Mun, get in!

Get in fast! Hurry up!

Bastards!

Hurry up!

Mun!

- Mun! - How is Kit?

She's seriously injured.

Bong!

Pat!

Go to hell!

Mark, stay away!

Mark, hurry up!

Mark!

Mark, be careful!

Mun, go over there!

Mark!

Doctor...!

She's critically injured. Please help her!

Doctor, please help her.

Tell me whom I should save first.

I don't even have enough plasma for this child.

What can I do?

He said there's not enough plasma here.

He can't even save this child's life.

Don't worry about me. There still time for you

to rush to the military airport.

I have a transit pass. But you must hurry!

Kit! The Thai border is near.

There's a Red Cross there. We can still save Kit.

Mark, go!

Out of the way! Faster!

Make way, please!

We have passes.

Let us through, we have passes.

Mark! The plane!

Kit, hold on a bit longer. The plane is just ahead.

Make way, please.

Mark! Hurry...

- Mark! - Make way!

Mun! Mun!

Pat...!

Pat.

You go ahead. I'm not going.

I want to find my Mum and Dad!

Don't wait for me. Go!

Take care of yourself, Pat!

Mun, take care of yourself!

Pat, take off your uniform!

Good-bye!
