Original subtitles

What have you done with your hair this time?

I don't know.

You're always trying to look like Elvis Presley, Ben.

I don't think that you're ever gonna succeed.

You mean it?

Hey, I was only kidding.

Hey, Wendy, you like it?

Love you.

It's nothing to do with me, Officer.

Huh, what?

Where's my son?

Frankie!

I'll hit some sense into you.

You were supposed to be watching after the cops.

Now your dad got arrested again.

-You're useless! -Ma!

I'm not your slave!

Pop, as soon as 1 get a decent job,

you give up street sweeping.

Hey, I don't mind it.

It's my fate, Tom.

But one thing I won't have,

and that's you doing the same thing.

I'll never forgive you for that.

In this world, money talks.

Without it, you're shit.

So don't end up like your dad.

Everybody out, join the strike.

Join the strike.

There he is.

-He's coming here.

Hey, why don't you take this and disappear, all right?

And one for you.

What kind of oranges are these?

How was work?

Same as usual.

Let's go.

Hey, hey, hey, hold it!

Hey, what are you doing?

Hey, stop that!

Hurry up with those glasses.

Oh, dangerous lady.

Tommy, what's wrong?

Well, I'm sick of Hong Kong.

It's falling apart.

But I'm getting nowhere.

I wanna live somewhere else.

Don't wanna stay in the gutter forever.

Hey, wherever you go, Tom,

don't forget your old buddies.

Yep.

We're like that Bob Dylan song, "Blowing in the Wind."

The answer, my friend, is to leave home.

We're all ruthless.

One day I'll hit this town in a Mercedes.

Why wait?

Let's hit it on bikes.

Okay, last one buys dinner.

-You'll be paying then. -No way, Jose.

You're losing, Tom.

That's bullshit.

I'm passing you.

Don't go too far, Frankie.

You worry about yourself, not me.

Well, see you later, guys.

Go for it, Frankie.

-Whoa. -Whoa! Help me!

Ben, you can't leave me like this, huh?

God, you're a shit.

I'm gonna kill you.

Come on, huh?

The riots are getting worse. I'm scared.

I don't know what's gonna happen.

Let's get married.

How can we?

We're broke.

So what? We'll get some money.

I don't care about the future.

I just wanna be free and fly like a bird on a wire

and see the world,

have some fun.

I know there's a better world out there.

Yeah, but I want you with me.

Dreaming again, Benny, huh?

That's how it begins, Carol.

I know that most people don't even begin.

Hey, looks good.

Did a great job.

Hey.

Hi.

Make way for the bride, huh?

Out of the way.

Get outta the way.

Hey, kids, outta the way.

-Frankie. -Hey, what's up?

Are we all right for the money, Frankie?

Yeah. Don't worry about it, Ben.

It's all taken care of. Come on.

-Hey, Frankie, you sure? -Sure, I'm sure. Come on.

-Hey, Frankie. -Yeah, yeah.

My suit, take care of it, will you?

Don't be late, okay?

Cheers, cheers.

Well, drink up, everyone, huh?

And thank you for coming.

Bride and groom, face the camera.

Boss, sit.

Will you lend me it?

Got the IOU?

Here.

You'll pay up?

You know I will.

Even if it costs me my life,

Come on.

All right.

-It's a deal. -Thanks.

Got the time?

-Half past 10. -Thank you.

Hi, Frankie.

Uh, hi there, Ringo.

What you doing on my turf?

Am I??

Gee, I'm sorry.

Let me pass. I'm in a hurry.

You bastard.

Hey, Frankie, I know you've been to see Kwai for cash.

Now hand it over.

No way, Ringo.

You fucking could hurt me, but you ain't getting my money.

You think you can get it away from me?

The money stays with me--Frankie.

Yeah!

You don't got no choice, bastard.

No, you're not getting it.

The money.

Bastard.

Fuck you, Ringo!

I need bread.

Any ideas?

You gotta take risks.

Well, like I once did in my time.

Where there's chaos, there's cash.

The worse, the better, huh?

Take Vietnam.

It's a disaster area,

but there's big bucks there waiting to fall into your lap.

It's easy.

Smuggling heroin, whores, gold, everything.

What's the matter?

Frankie isn't back yet. I hope he's okay.

Hey, don't worry.

You know, Frankie. He's like this.

I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

Alright.

Hey, Frankie!

Here I am!

Benny! Benny! Benny! Benny! Benny! Benny!

Hey, Frank!

Hey, why are you late?

Everyone's leaving.

Scared ya, huh?

Well, if you didn't arrive, yeah.

Well, you can always rely on Frankie.

I'm getting anxious.

-Oh gosh. -Here it is.

Handle it.

Hey, Mr. Lou.

Just wait for Tom.

Come on, you guys.

Hey, Tommy!

3,200, right?

-Congratulations to you. -That's right!

Long lives and happy lives.

Uh, where's Carol?

Hey, let's go get her, huh?

What happened, Frankie?

Nothing. What do you mean, huh?

Oh, this here, huh?

Well, I, I fell into the gutter.

I was hurrying and I fell in.

Oh, you did, did you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Remember?

Frankie!

Frankie!

- Frankie's -What's going on?

Oh, that's Frankie.

Hey, now, where's Carol?

I get to kiss the bride, don't I?

Where is she?

Don't worry. Nothing serious.

Just on her hand.

He's a crazy guy.

Congratulations.

Wonderful day.

All the best, Carol.

I just asked the boss and he said

I could kiss you.

Benny, isn't that right?

On the hand then.

You kissed my face, he said he wouldn't.

Hey, my suit friends.

My big brothers, right?

What's this "big" shit?

We're all the same.

We're friends, Frankie, and you know, as friends,

we're all equals.

Get out, troublemaker!

Go away! Fighting with someone.

Look at your head!

Stop it, Dad.

Don't go on about it.

Why not?

You little shit!

-Get lost! -And don't come back!

You're nothing but trouble!

Go live somewhere else!

Don't bother us!

Just go to Hell!

Oh, hi.

Where's Carol, huh?

You hurt your head.

It's nothing much. I just took a tumble.

Bleeding a bit, that's all.

You know my mom when she's mad, don't you, Benny?

It's all right,

Benny.

What the hell?

Hey.

You crazy?

What?

This isn't even bleeding, but it hurts.

Yours has been bleeding all evening.

Must be agony.

You gonna tell me who did it, or do I have to guess?

Ringo.

He tried to take the cash... but I held it.

But not before he did this.

What did he use?

A bottle.

Hey, what's this?

Ringo.

What's this with Frankie?

That little..

Go to hell!

Hey! Hey!

Tom, open up.

What is it?

Shit, we just killed Ringo.

What'll you do?

No fuckin' idea.

Skip town, I guess.

Hold on a sec.

I'm sorry.

I've put you in the shit.

And Carol too.

You're my best friend.

Is Benny here?

What is it?

Someone got murdered tonight. I'd like to talk to him.

Benny, Frankie!

Here, I brought you something to eat.

Thanks, Fatty.

Anybody follow you here then?

No. 1l used my head.

Quick, get changed then get outta here.

You better change your gear, guys.

The whole town's after you.

The cops have been around and Ringo's thugs,

and the loan shark's after you, Frankie.

Oh yeah?

How's Carol doing?

She's doing okay.

The cops came 'round, and she's scared.

But don't worry, Ben.

I'll look after her for you.

Here's your new passports.

Thanks, uncle.

If you get into any trouble, look up this guy, Luke.

Now this is the deal, kids.

You're carrying penicillin, Rolex watches,

and Chinese medicine.

Take them straight to Saigon and give them to this fella.

-Y.S. Leung. -Leung.

And don't do anything stupid.

-He's not Mr. Nice guy. -Thanks, Uncle Dick.

Down with the British government!

Down with the Chinese government!

Down with capitalism!

Long live communism!

No! Get back in there!

It's dangerous!

Come on!

-Carol. -What are you doing here?

Get away!

- I have to talk to you. -I won't listen.

-It's dangerous here, Carol. -Let go!

Let's go.

Are you all right, Carol?

Run away or you'll be caught.

The cops will recognize you.

I have to leave Hong Kong.

You always wanted to be free as a bird.

Did you have to kill someone, and on our first night?

I'll come back for you. I love you, Carol.

You know that, don't you?

Forget it.

Everything's over now.

It's all changing.

Forget tomorrow.

I can take care of myself.

Be careful.

Whatever else happens, we give this shit to Leung.

That's our lifeline.

It feels so normal, not like a war at all.

The war's their trip.

I'm here for the dough.

It's gooks getting killed.

Not our problem.

We just collect our money and split to Thailand.

Hey, you think we're gonna make it?

Of course we will.

-Smuggling's where it's at. -Yeah.

New country, new opportunities, and new hope, right?

If it all works out okay,

guess what I'll do with the money?

You? You'll buy a Mercedes, Tom.

I'm not risking life and limb

for a car, asshole.

When I leave Vietnam, I leave a billionaire.

I know what I'm gonna do.

Buy my mom hundreds of pairs of silk slippers.

So when she clobbers me, it won't hurt.

I just wanna get back to Carol.

Well, I'll buy your ticket.

I'll hold you to that.

What?

What's going on here?

Get down!

What?

Move!

What?

-Come on, Tom! Come on, Tom! -No, leave me alone!

-Shit. -Tom, it's finished.

-It's too late, Tom. Let's go! -I want it!

We gotta get outta here. Come on!

Don't shoot, please don't shoot!

No, I'm Chinese, I'm Chinese!

If he gets it wrong, we're in the shit.

Just let them try anything.

We're foreigners.

They can't kill us.

Don't shoot!

Please don't shoot.

Sir! I'm from Hong Kong, sir, from Hong Kong!

I'm from Hong Kong!

Don't shoot! [grunting]

Look, Hong Kong passport.

Hong Kong. Look here.

We're from Hong Kong.

Please don't shoot, sir.

Don't kill me!

Hey, are you all right?

Are you okay?

No point cracking up.

Let's get us guns.

I'm not backing down.

I'm here to win.

-Wow, pretty neat. -Hello, Bolero.

-Hi. -Hello!

Gee, I've never been anywhere like this before.

So make the most of it.

Great.

Excuse me.

Sorry.

Pardon me.

Move.

Hey, it's Y.S. Leung.

Can tell he's a hotshot, can't you?

-Ben, Ben. -What?

Isn't that Sally Ann, the singer?

Why is she here?

Take a tip from us!

-Excuse me. I want-- -You're from Hong Kong.

-You're from there then? -Right.

Wonderful.

Do you know a guy by the name of Luke and where he is?

Oh, you mean that French guy?

He's European?

He's half and half.

Hang around, 'cause if he knows someone's here,

he'll come and find you.

Well, thank you.

Stop it.

No

Lighten up, Sally.

Just get off.

That's enough.

Please stop them.

I'm just here to drink with them.

Aren't you used to strange men handling you yet?

Sally Ann?

That is your name, right?

Are you in trouble?

You got it.

Maybe I can help you.

How come you wanna help?

Because Hong Kong people stick together.

Yeah.

Bridge, tomorrow, 2:00.

Can you get there?

Oh, God.

I've gotta go.

Told you not to

talk to strangers.

Back to work.

Looking for me?

Are you Luke?

-Great to see you.

Sit down.

I'm busy right now.

I'll be back later.

Good evening, my friend.

Good evening.

Havana.

Thank you very much.

-Waiting long? -Doesn't matter.

Luke.

This here is Ben, Luke.

Haven't we met?

Hi, Luke.

So what can I do for you guys?

Yeah, we came over here with this stuff for Mr. Leung.

Ran into trouble, lost all the goddamn cases.

So then what now?

Rob him blind and run.

Tom, that was never part of our plan.

I'm not going to jail for this.

Not here, not anywhere.

If we go back now, that's what'll happen.

And fuck that!

I learned something today.

Guns talk.

You got the pistols, you've got the power.

Come on, guys. Let's get real.

I think you're getting out of your depth.

No, I'm just growing up, Ben.

I need guns.

It's your life, Tom.

You get the guns.

Tom.

-Hey, wait. -What?

Whatcha doin'?

Come along for the ride.

Two Coca Colas.

We have no money.

-Give me the money. -Put it down!

Give me the money!

-Tom, for God's sake! -Give it to me!

-The worst shit. -Give it!

-No, don't! -Stop, man.

What'll happen if the cops turn up, huh?

Give it to me, bastard!

-For fuck's sake, Tom, stop it. -Give it to me! Come on!

Come on!

-Come on! -Hey, don't shoot!

-No money! -Don't move!

Bastard.

Come on, Tom, let's go.

I'll shoot!

Tommy, let's go.

-Don't shoot! -Do not shoot!

Oh, no, no!

-I surrender! -I surrender!

-I surrender! -I surrender!

I surrender, I surrender!

Don't shoot, I surrender!

What do you want?

-What do you want? -What?

Get down!

Get down.

-Hey, man, yo. -Hey, hey.

Crazy!

It's a crazy fuckin' world.

Certainly helps to have a gun, right?

Stop, stop.

I'll come back for you. I love you, Carol.

You know that, don't you?

Oh, forget it.

Everywhere's the same.

It's all just a mess.

We can't see the future.

I'm stuck over here.

One year ago, I signed a contract with Leung

to sing in his nightclub.

He promised me lots of money.

But when I got here, he took my passport,

then my self-respect.

I can't leave.

I'm a prostitute and a drug addict.

We won't actually kill you, Sally,

'cause you're hard cash, petal.

There's no way outta here.

You may as well give up struggling.

You'll forget everything in time,

name, nationality, sex.

Cheered you up, have I, dear?

Wouldn't anybody help you?

Yes.

Please help me.

I'm a prisoner here.

One day, Luke and I, we shuck out

to look at the boats here, planning for the day

we'd run away together.

Let's go.

You're here as my hitman, Luke,

not to take my assets.

I promise you, Sally,

me and my buddies are getting outta here,

and you're coming with us.

Luke, are you sure we can get the guns?

Leave everything to me.

Just do what we agreed.

Tommy, we just have to trust Luke.

Of course.

Isn't that what friends are for?

Havana?

Thanks a lot.

The same song?

The same.

Come in.

Ah, Luke, how are ya?

Mr. Leung, these guys are my friends.

Tommy, Benny, and Frankie.

Mr. Leung.

They're all friends of Uncle Dick's in Hong Kong.

-Mr. Leung. -Hello.

Hello, sir.

You kids today, you've got it all, right?

Straight up, what have you got for me?

Penicillin.

Penicillin?

The North is crying out for it.

You wanna check it?

Hey, it's all right now.

You are Luke's friends, right?

Go and have some fun downstairs.

Live a little.

Be my guest.

You going?

Wanna join 'em?

No, thanks.

I got a date.

You really are a ladies man!

Hope I don't have to do any killing.

I don't give a damn.

I'll kill anyone in my way.

Benny.

I'm getting bad vibes.

Keep calm, Frankie.

Hey, Sally.

You all right?

I love your song. Will you sing it tonight?

You know, "Windflower."

-Mr. Leung. -Sit! Sit down.

How is it, had any drinks?

-A few. -A few?

That doesn't sound much fun.

Whiskey and more glasses.

We want a party, right?

Hey, you boys know her?

Hong Kong boys are real Romeos.

Eyeballing my little Sally, and the deal ain't done yet.

Don't be offended.

We don't mean anything.

She's just a very popular singer.

You know, I heard talk

that you were planning to take her with you.

She's worth a fortune.

I invested a lot in that dame.

You're misunderstanding us.

All of us guys were fans of hers in Hong Kong.

She used to be gorgeous then.

We were just saying how much she's changed out here.

She looks kind of beaten down, destroyed.

-Ben. -Haggard and used up.

Maybe she's unhappy.

What does her life involve?

They're fighting words.

Nobody talks to Y.S. Leung like that, kid.

You've got guts, all right.

Whiskey time.

The entire bottle, jerk.

Sir, I'm the one to blame.

Cheers.

[laughing] Big deal, buddy-buddies.

Let's test that loyalty.

Bottle of whiskey each, boys.

-For Christ's sake, man! -Shut up.

I'm not taking this crap!

-Shut up! -Not even for Mr. Leung!

None of this shit is my making!

You dragged me into it!

- I did it for us! -Don't you believe it!

-What's your problem? -Will you shut up?

You fuck... asshole.

Hey, Ben!

Hey, come on.

Yeah, move!

Come on.

-Stop. Don't come. -Don't come!

-Stop! -Don't move!

Freeze!

Let me go!

-Ben, where are you going? -Ben!

Sally?

You bastards!

Bastard!

Sally.

Sally.

Sally, wake up.

Can I make it, Ben, do you think?

Sure you can. Let's go.

Watch out!

Here.

Are you outta your mind?

What's with the chick?

You wanna get us all killed?

I told her I'd take her, and I will. It's my word.

It's news to me. 1 ain't taking her.

Be cool, Tommy.

We're all in this thing together.

We'll find a way to get it to work out.

Like hell you will!

-You'll all die! -Shut it!

Get down!

The gold, where is it?

Luke, where's the gold?

-Sally's passport, scum. - I don't know.

-Sally. -You said the gold was in here.

Where is it, goddamn?!

Over in his safe.

Where's her passport, Leung?

-I'm not telling you. -Kill him.

You got 10 seconds!

-Tell me now! -Just kill me.

It's probably in the safe.

You're dead meat.

You don't stand a chance.

Don't worry.

Even without it, Ben'll find a way to help you

get outta here.

We could go back as refugees.

That'd be a gas.

Is that right?

I've got it.

That's Ben. Always got a way to win.

Now we can all go back home. All right?

You jerks, let the boss go or else.

Strip.

Be careful!

i -Die!

My passport!

Can't see it!

Sally, keep still!

Come here, bitch.

-Sally! -Forget it.

Oh, Luke!

Leave my gold!

You little bastard,

you can't touch my gold!

See?!

Ha

Let go of her!

Alright, I'll let her go.

Sally!

Sally.

Don't move!

Or I'll kill you!

-Frankie! -Don't take any chances.

Come on!

One move and you're history.

You shut up!

Son of a bitch, you think you stand any chance

at all of leaving?

Bullshit!

Shut up!

Leave 'em in there!

Just drive, move!

Come on.

Move it!

-There they are! -Come on, quick!

-Come on, get in! -Get in! Hurry!

You're safe, Sally. Take it easy.

What the hell now?

Stay cool.

I know about the CIA. I'll handle it.

Hey, what you doin' here?

Excuse me, Major?

I've got a pass.

Major, what happened?

Charlie's penetrated the perimeter.

It's very dangerous.

You better get outta here.

We need to get to the next village.

We have someone seriously injured here.

Okay, but be careful.

-Okay. -Let him pass.

Shit. We can't turn back. Keep going! Shit.

Get off, greedy bastards!

Damn you!

They're human beings.

Fuck you. Get lost.

Go faster!

Frankie, starting over there,

plant a mine every three steps, Justin case.

-Done. -Do it quickly.

She okay?

Don't worry, Sally.

The pain'll stop soon.

Luke, are we gonna make it, really?

You bet.

Boat'll be here any minute.

Just hang on.

Is that true?

Cross my heart, honestly.

I always said, one day our turn'll come

and we'll go to Hong Kong together.

You can do it.

You gotta make it.

I have one of your records at home.

It needs autographing.

Hey, Luke!

Where is this guy?

If the fuckin' gooks arrive, we've had it!

Is there any fuckin' boat anyway?!

What's your fuckin' problem?

-Answer me, fuckhead! -Tommy!

What's goin' on?

All you think about is gold.

Can't you see we're all doing our darnedest?

Why don't you help her?

Frank!

What are you doing?

I felt like that!

Hey, Ben, here's the boat!

Sally, the boat's here. Really, it is.

Hey, stop!

Stop!

Stop, don't go!

Stop, don't go!

Come and help me.

Here.

Don't be scared.

Ben, get on the boat, I'll cover you.

Hurry!

Tommy!

Faster!

Benny, wait!

Sally!

Sally.

They're still coming!

Get in the boat. Come on, Luke.

Luke, listen. Luke.

Luke, let it go!

Luke, it's all over. Let go of her now.

Goddamn ancient barge.

Bastard.

Hey, come and fix it.

If those assholes come back, we're dead!

Have you all got heat stroke or what?

This boat's fucked.

Why are you sitting there like dummies?

Hey, Luke, can you fix it?

I know you're upset over Sally's death.

You think I'm not?

But it's better, really.

She was a problem for us.

It's bad enough taking care of ourselves

in this goddamn country. She's the lucky one.

We gotta work fast.

If this sinks, it's goodbye to that gold.

Hey! Hey, get your hands off that!

Hey, Ben. I swear I'll kill you!

Ben, stop doing that or else I'll shoot!

I mean it!

Leave my gold alone or I'm gonna kill ya.

Are you nuts?!

Do it then!

There'll be nothing left of you!

If I don't have the gold, you might as well do just that.

Drop the gun, Frank.

Put it down!

So you put that gold before our friendship?

You've forgotten what being a friend means.

You've got gold fever.

You're holding a gun to your best and oldest friend!

It's the gold or me, is it, then Tom?

Am I worth this?

I'll tell you something now, Tom.

The days when we were close are over, there's no friendship.

So shoot.

I've known you for 10 years!

Bullshit years!

Why don't you shoot me then?

Yeah, do it!

Shoot your friend!

Don't waste any more gold!

Sorry, guys.

When did life get so difficult...

I don't think I'm asking for a lot.

I just want some gold.

Is that so wrong?!

This boat's crap.

We're gonna have to find another way.

Where's the gold?

My gold!

Tommy!

My gold!

Tommy, over here!

Here, Tommy!

Here it is.

The gold's here.

Tommy! What are you doing? You'll get shot!

Tommy!

Help! Help me!

-Come on, let's get him. -I'm drowning!

Help!

The gold!

Tommy, forget it.

You're gonna goddamn drown!

Now, come on!

You wanna kill us?!

I want my gold.

Don't play hero.

Damn your gold!

Shit, I wish I'd never saved ya!

We should find Luke.

You can come if you want,

or you can stay here.

Frank.

Oh, come on.

Luke!

Luke!

-Luke! -Luke!

Frank, put the gun down!

Why did we have to look for Luke?

Hey.

It's to do with us.

The gold is yours?

-No-- Yes, it is.

The gold's mine!

You're talking shit, don't say that!

You work for CIA?

No, we're Chinese!

We're not CIA!

We are nothing!

No, no!

-Will you listen to us? -We are not from the CIA!

-Listen! -Please listen!

These pictures are from CIA.

We know nothing, sir!

We know nothing about the paper!

-It's a mistake! -We're innocent!

-We're innocent! -A mistake!

Bastard!

I know nothing about it!

Come on, man, take it easy.

It's all right. Take it easy.

I can't take any more of this.

-I'm going crazy! -Frankie, Frank!

-Ben, he's staring. -Frankie, relax.

-Ben, I can't! -It's all right, relax, relax.

You.

You, shoot him.

Shoot him, shoot him.

He is CIA.

Don't kill me, please.

Will you tell me the truth now?

We are Chinese.

We're not the CIA.

All right, relax.

Oh, no, no!

Oh, no, no, no!

It's your turn now.

You!

No.

No

-Just take it easy. -Ben, I don't want to kill.

Tell him I don't want kill.

-You have to. -I can't do it!

Just do it, Frankie.

You and I are going back to Hong Kong!

Ben, I can't survive this, I can't do it!

You'll survive, Frank!

You gotta grab a gun for us!

1 told him il can"'t do it!

Frankie, grab a gun! It's our only hope!

-No, I can't! -'Atta boy, Frankie!

Frank, they're just fooling with you, so stop reacting now!

-Help me! -Get his gun.

It's almost over, Frankie!

Come on, do it.

Enough!

Watch it, pal.

Don't fuck up now!

Hey, Captain, Captain.

Hey, here.

Come on, Captain.

I'll do it. I'll do it. I'll do it for you.

1 hate the Americans.

I'll kill them for you.

Take me.

Yeah.

You tell me, where is CIA?

-In Saigon. -Where, where?

I'll kill for you.

I'll make you real happy.

Who first?

-These guys over here? -Kill them.

-Good. -Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Happy?

Happy?

You like that?

You like that?

Hey, come here, come here.

What?

I'll make you more happy.

More fun.

More fun.

-Okay? -Good.

-I'll give you more fun. -You do it good.

Kill him.

Why not, huh?

God, you're all bastards.

Okay, I'll make you happy, right?

It's here?

You sure?

Yeah, it's here.

Kill him.

Frankie, you and I are going to Hong Kong,

and I won't go without you, Frankie.

Don't move!

Don't move!

-Where's Tom? -I don't know.

Watch it, Frank!

-Go and find Tommy! -Where is he?!

-Go on! Quick! -All right!

-Go on, go on, Frankie! -Don't leave me here, Ben!

All right, you bastard!

Making me kill people!

It's funny, is it?

Well, all right then!

You just see how funny it is when it's your turn,

you bastard!

Rembrandt, Rembrandt, get it in here now!

Ben, Ben, Ben.

Leave him.

4620-niner.

Bring "em in here.

Bring 'em in!

Get 'em out of the way.

Tommy, careful!

Come on. Let's go find Ben.

No way. He's probably dead. I'm outta here.

Leave the gold, Tom.

Fuck off, Frankie. It's mine!

Let's go find, Ben. Come on.

-I wanna stay together! -Go to hell.

Frankie!

-We gotta find Ben! -Fuck off!

You can't!

-Tommy! -No!

Hey, you're in my way, Frankie!

Frankie, Frankie!

Try to get over there, but hurry.

The Yanks are pulling in five minutes!

No, Frankie, be quiet.

Oh, it hurts.

Shut up!

Frankie!

For God's sake.

It hurts! It hurts!

You may be dead, but I'm not.

Move it, move it!

-Come on now, get in there! -I can't go yet!

I gotta find my friend!

Go, go!

Just go!

Get off of me!

You shut up!

Tommy! Get off, you're killing me.

-Shut up! -I can't breathe!

Give me air!

Tommy, get off of me. Help me!

Shut up. Shut up.

Shut up or you'll fucking kill us both.

Frankie, I got no choice.

I won at life.

Tommy!

Frankie.

Frank. Frankie?

Frank?

Tommy!

-For God's sake. -Hang in there.

We're gonna save you.

Yeah, don't worry, I've seen guys a lot uglier.

Medicals can handle it.

-Jesus. -Yeah, it's all right.

Don't move,

or I'll kill you!

Oh, Luke.

A little souvenir.

The war gave us all something.

I'm one of the lucky ones.

I got to see my friend again.

Ever hear anything of Frank?

Yeah, he's here.

Really?

I wish I'd never found him.

He's gone.

He's not Frankie anymore.

He doesn't even know who he is.

I saw what happened.

Tommy shot him in the head.

He didn't die.

I wish he had.

Maybe, he might recognize you.

[head thudding

Gimme money.

I'd like to see him.

Frankie.

Frankie.

Frankie!

The bullet's still lodged in his head.

Pain won't stop.

He had an operation.

There was nothing they could do.

Hey, come on now.

Stop it.

No, Frankie, Frankie, you stop that.

Frankie, Frankie!

Frankie!

Frankie!

Stop, stop!

Stop it!

Frankie, don't do it!

Will you stop it?

Frankie, Frankie, Frankie, stop it! Are you deaf?!

Frankie, you'll die if you go on like this! You idiot!

Frankie!

How come you didn't save me any?

I thought we had a deal.

We'd share everything,

good or bad.

And this sure ain't a good time.

Remember when we were kids?

We did everything together.

You know what you used to do?

You'd call me big brother.

I just wanted to be your friend.

Frankie!

And your mother beating you.

Remember that?

You used to bait her.

She used to beat the hell out of you.

Remember when I got married,

it was pissing with rain.

I had no money a tall.

But you turned up with it for us.

What you didn't say was you almost

got killed for your efforts.

You wouldn't tell me that, would you?

And that's typical.

You'd keep things in,

and make out life was just fine.

Please, doesn't anything register?

Talk to me, you creep, Frankie!

I wanna hear you talking!

It's me, your best friend, Ben!

I'm sorry. Frankie.

Please forgive me.

I can't bear to see you like this.

You still going to Hong Kong?

I don't think so.

Nothing turned out like I thought.

But I've learned to live with it over here.

I don't want to change.

I'm staying put.

I have to go, Luke.

Hong Kong is home.

Au revoir, old friend.

Yeah, au revoir, Luke.

See you.

-Take care. -You too.

Come on, darling.

Won't you take another bite?

He hasn't been eating for the last couple of days now.

-Okay, honey, that's good. -One for Mommy.

-Good boy! -One for Daddy.

-Good. -Now another mouthful.

-Alright then, okay? -Open wide.

Benny?

Yes, it is.

It's Benny.

His name is Frankie.

Mr. Chi, the chairman's now ready to begin.

It's time for me to retire.

This is a young man's world.

The guy I've chosen... is first class.

He's a genius with money

and at controlling and increasing our assets.

He's charismatic and determined

and an expert in financial law.

I can tell a hotshot when I see him.

Gentlemen, your new chairman, Thomas Chi.

-Congratulations. -Thank you, Mr. King.

You won't regret it.

This was my dream,

and I will succeed like I always succeed.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

Mr. King, excuse me,

but an old friend of Mr. Chi needs to see him urgently.

I see.

Well, everything's settled. Ask him in.

Very good, sir.

Ben, when did you get back?

I'll introduce you.

Mr. King.

Mr. King, Benny Lee.

He's a good, old buddy of mine.

He was with me when 1 worked in Vietnam.

Ben, it's great to see you.

Really great.

Well, hi, Tommy.

So you made it.

Everything I have, you can have.

And half for Frankie?

Frankie?

Look, he was a good friend.

I was there with him.

He caught a bullet, you know?

He kept saying, "Tom, leave me.

Go back to Hong Kong with Ben."

And I tried to save him. I was badly wounded.

I did everything I could, Ben.

The three of us went to Vietnam together.

I promised Frankie I'd get him back to Hong Kong,

and here he is, Tom.

Jesus.

I kept my promise.

-Bastard! - I saw him in Saigon,

and he was a crazed animal!

And do you know why?!

Because he had this bullet in his head.

You could have made it a clean hit.

You made him suffer.

But as I remember, the gold was more important.

Hell, that could be anyone.

How do I know it's Frankie?

You're nuts!

You want revenge, motherfucker?

I never lose any contest. Not Vietnam. Not tonight.

I can outplay you any day, shithead!

You're losing it, Tom!

That's bullshit.

I'm a winner!

Ben, I've got our friend here.

I already killed you once.

Now fuckin' die!

I told you to be quiet but you didn't listen.

Leave me alone.

You don't know why you died?

I don't think you'll dig the answer, Frankie.

I just wanted to go.

Sucks, huh?

Well, tough shit...

'cause it's too late, Frankie.

But I can help you rest easy.

He doesn't understand.

I'm gonna do it.

I'll shoot him again, but straight.

Hey, you can do it.

Do it for him, Ben. Shoot.

You do it!

Shoot him, Ben

Let him rest in peace.

Leave us alone.

Pull the trigger.

It's easy, Ben.

I need him outta my life.

Then I can be richer.

I can start again.

Shoot!
