Original subtitles

- [Narrator] For the last hundred years, Chinese immigrants

who settled here in New York

have struggled to survive in this white man's world.

Not only are they ambassadors of Chinese culture,

but they also brought the traditions of Chinese Triad societies to America.

Mott Street.

Pell Street.

East Broadway.

Together, they form Chinatown.

Since its very establishment,

Chinese on Chinese assassinations,

and even machine gun massacres,

are but cyclical events which reoccur without fail.

They say this is the land of equality.

But the disease of racism runs rampant among the whites

who laugh at the Chinese who believe.

Every horrible, bloody tale of Chinatown

is one of clan or personal vendettas.

Why does this violence possess such demonic power over these young men?

The more bloody sacrifices made at its altar,

the more devotees offer themselves up.

HUNG CLAN OFFICE

- Uncle, my men went to collect protection fees.

Ray stopped them and beat them up.

- Ray, is this true?

- Yes, Uncle Fung.

- We're family. Why fight?

And you two went to school together.

Why do this?

- We're also went to school with that shopkeeper.

Cho was $10,000 and the shopkeeper couldn't afford it.

His men broke everything in sight.

Does he want him to close down?

- If we don't take in protection fees, then how can we operate?

- If this is how we collect it,

let's just rob people on the street.

- Uncle Fung,

if we're that charitable, we'll need charity ourselves.

- What do you suggest?

So, we just beat them up.

Shall we follow clan rules?

- Behave!

Do you want to be the Iaughingstock of Chinatown?

- Uncle Fung, if we continue down this path,

we'll end up starting a war.

- Protection fees must be collected.

Let's do this.

Divvy up the territory between the two of you.

Just watch over your own street.

- Uncle Fung, what about my brothers?

- Just send them to Beekman Hospital.

- Ray, 90 on home.

- Thank you, Uncle Fung.

Excuse us.

- Cho, don't do anything rash.

I know what I'm doing.

- What is this? Are those fake?

- They're so fake!

Give us back our money!

- Take it out!

- Do you want my pipes to burst?

- You little shit...

How dare you spray me!

Old man, how dare you spray me!

Where do you think you're going?

- What are you doing?

- Let me wash your hair!

- [Old man] No, don't!

- Have you had enough?

- Hey, what are you doing?

- None of your business! - What are you saying?

- Chinese man speaking English...

- No, no, no! I'm American!

- You're real trash!

- Shut up, bitch!

- Don't!

- Stop right there!

- Help, help!

- I'II shoot!

- Help! Help, Mr. Policeman!

- Calm down, what's happening?

- Someone's trying to kill me!

- Someone's trying to kill me! - What?

- One man... kill me...

- What man? - One man, kill me!

- Bang bang! - Bang bang?

- Bang? - He's trying to kill me!

_ So? So what?

I really don't understand you.

So?

"SO" your mother!

- You're crazy.

- Can't get away, can you?

- Good luck.

- Thank you.

- Win lots!

- Watch your step.

- You were here yesterday. Back again?

- I'm trying my luck again today.

Am I right, bachelor? - If I win, there's

something in it for you! - Thank you!

And don't call me bachelor, I passed my exam.

I now have a masters degree! - A masters degree!

Congratulations! - And the same to you!

- Hello, Mr. Wong. - Hello, Little Benny.

- You're leading the tour? - Yes.

- See you later.

- Watch your step.

Be careful.

- Is that everyone?

- No, it's still early.

We're waiting for a dozen folks. Let me count.

Five, ten, fifteen, twenty,

Twenty-five, plus fifteen.

- We'll make a killing in tips!

- I'm gonna give it my all!

- Why do you still work here if you have your masters degree?

- It's good money!

And it's tax-free to boot.

And there's still his scholarship. It's not bad.

- Just seems like a waste of his degree.

- [Benny] Let's find a place to let off some steam after work.

- Sounds good.

Big Fool, what's wrong?

- What's wrong? - What's wrong?

- Big Fool, what's wrong?

- Get down here, Fatty!

Come down!

Come on down!

- Mr. Lui, how do you rate today's match?

The American-born is very confident.

- The ball is in their court. Let's see if we'll have a game.

- Someone's making moves on Master Lee.

Get over there.

- Break it up.

- [Lee] Let's just talk about it. Let go!

Stop!

- Stop right there!

- [Lee] I just accidentally scratched his car!

- It's alright now. Come have a drink.

- Who's he been hanging around with?

- Gay Ming.

- That good brother of yours shot first.

Well, maybe we were in the wrong.

- Lui really wasn't involved?

- Shit, he's not gay.

And I don't have a crush on him.

Why should I help him?

- Hello, Mr. Lui.

- Mr. Lui...

Mr. Lui, it wasn't my fault...

That guy started beating up Grandpa Ho.

You can ask Grandpa Ho if you don't believe me.

Hong, tell him.

- If you were the family of the victim,

what would you do? - Shoot him.

- And what will that do to the peace of Chinatown?

- Mr. Lui... I...

I'll take care of it.

- Where are you going? - If Mr. Lui doesn't forgive me,

I'll kill myself!

- Hey!

_ Hey! Big Fool!

- [Benny] Big Fool! - [Master] He can't swim!

- Now what? - Big Fool!

- Big Fool, Big Fool!

- Mr. Lui! It didn't work!

- Get back up here.

THE 28TH OVERSEAS CHINESE BUSINESS ASSOCIATION ELECTIONS

- Incredible.

- Brother Tim, Ray looks to be the frontrunner this election.

- It's a young man's world!

- You're too gracious, Brother Tim.

Ray, the voting hasn't started, we won't know who wins.

Brother Tim will get re-elected for sure!

- No, no, not at all.

- Impressive, no?

- Oh yes, Mr. Lui...

our young master Cho went to the casinos in Atlanta

with your crew last week.

Did he win or lose?

- He loves to win!

- Enjoy yourselves. I've some work to do.

- Sure thing.

- Ray, if my brother really lost everything,

take care of him for me, alright?

- Don't you worry.

- Mr. Lui, please come to our grand opening!

- I will! - Mr. Lui?

- Will you do a demonstration?

- You're kidding.

- You're getting stronger.

- Not really.

Just training my body.

- Has Benny and the gang been training hard?

- They come every night!

And they're getting really strong! - Yes?

- [Man] Welcome, Uncle Fung

Uncle Fung!

- Member Chan, great job organizing.

- It's all thanks to you, Uncle Fung.

- Chinatown will prosper as long as I'm here.

- Of course!

- Hello, Uncle Fung.

- Uncle Fung, let me announce the start of the meeting.

- Hello, Uncle Fung. - Uncle Fung!

- I hear the two of you are popular on the ballot this year.

- With Ray here, I don't have a shot!

- You're exaggerating, my old friend.

- [Chan] Esteemed guests and elders,

today is the election of our association's chairman.

For added confidence in the results,

we've asked Elder Fung to be our ballot counter.

Kindly applaud.

- Boss...

- Brother Tim, I'll be next door.

- Sure, make yourself at home.

- So, you've taken the money.

If you don't take care of this.

I'll send your ashes back to Taishan.

- Don't worry, Mr. Cho,

I know how to handle this.

- Everyone is watching you.

You'd have an easier time if you were dead.

- Trust me.

-[Chan] I'll be the one counting the votes

because of Uncle Fung's myopia.

I'II count every vote for Lui as a vote for you.

- What sort of election is this?

- [Chan] Don't worry. - Nonsense!

- [Chan] When have I let you down? - How can you call this an election?

What a waste of a performance.

- Make it believable.

- Don't worry. You'll win by two votes.

How does that sound?

- Take care of it. I don't intend to lose.

- Joe, congratulations.

This election is yours.

You're going to win for sure.

Member Chan is going to announce that Mr. Cho wins by two votes.

We all heard the whole thing.

- Mr. Lui, we have a meeting with Chairman Chan.

The car is waiting.

- Excuse us.

Happy voting.

- Get out of here.

- Ray, what happened?

- Just dealing with the bounty on my head.

If you had come out first, then you wouldn't have been so lucky.

- No white man will make it alive out of here.

- Certainly not!

- Isn't it a bit late to arrive after the shooting is over?

- Mr. Lui, come to the station fora statement.

- No problem.

- Hello?

Oh, yes I know.

Those four puppies didn't make it.

Oh? She had another litter?

Buy up the rest of the litter for me.

Let's leave it at that.

- Come, have another glass.

("Yi Shui Ge Tian Ya" by Teresa Tang plays)

- Mr. Lui, this is very fresh.

I made it myself. - Very good.

- Miss. Chung, please try some too. It's delicious.

I We should be married like two branches intertwined I

I But we're separated by the great ocean I

I When are we to meet again. I

- I waited forever. Why did the Fifth Precinct keep you so long this time?

- This was a special case. I was watching TV in there.

- Aren't you bored of the uniforms harassing you?

- You can't blame them.

Someone's trying to put one over me.

- I always tell you to stay out of Chinatown affairs.

- And I tell you to stay out of my affairs.

I...

Were you trying to say,

I love you?

- What did you say?

- I love you.

- You're so old fashioned!

- I've rented my share of videotapes.

That's how it is!

- Here you are, Miss Chung.

- Grandpa Ho, we've already wiped our hands twice.

Please don't bring us more towels.

Thank you. - Maybe we should leave.

- The bill, Grandpa Ho. - The bill's been paid.

- It's been paid?

- Tonight's my last night as your server.

Let it be my treat.

- Why is that?

- The Boss said I'm too old and fired me.

- Grandpa Ho!

Mr. Lui, Miss Chung.

I said I'd help you write a letter,

But there's a lot of characters I don't know.

You told your son to drop out,

but I can't write "drop".

And you told your family to tighten their belts.

I don't know how to write the character "tighten".

- Your penmanship is atrocious,

and this is riddled with errors.

Grandpa Ho, let me write it.

- Thank you, thank you very much.

- Thanks, it's much better this way.

I I long for your return I

I But your return remains unknown. I

I Your old promise is lost to the winds I

Mr. Lui, my writing may have errors,

but you've got it totally wrong.

Grandpa Ho said to tell his son to drop out.

But you're writing that he'll send him $1000 for university.

- Be quiet.

- Mr. Lui, I've been fired. How can I send them this much money?

- Don't worry, Grandpa Ho.

We're both yellow faces.

Just talk me to if something is troubling you.

Here, Big Fool.

Tell the Boss not to fire Grandpa Ho.

- Alright.

The Boss just walked in.

Boss... - What is it?

- Mr. Lui over there found out you're firing Grandpa Ho.

He wants you to keep him on.

You know. He's here on his own.

He's got no one to rely on.

- Don't beg for him.

He's so old.

He should be feeding pigeons in the park.

- We're all from Hong Kong.

- Oh, what nonsense!

How many people in Chinatown are from Hong Kong?

Am I running a charity?

He's old enough to get social security!

- Grandpa Ho!

I know I was wrong.

You're getting up there in age, take it easy in the restaurant.

Please forgive me, Grandpa Ho.

What about this, Grandpa Ho?

Be my godfather, and we'll be like family.

What do you say?

Will you say yes? - Please get up, this is too much.

- So you'll accept me?

What about this, Grandpa Ho, I'll give you a raise of $500.

Just come sit at the restaurant every now and then.

You'll agree to come back? - Sure.

I'll come back. - Good, come back.

- It's time for me to go to school. - Sure.

- Hello Uncle Fung, Maria.

Where are you heading? School?

I can drive you. - No thanks.

Uncle, I'm off. - Sure.

Cho, he really came out on top.

Are you preparing to leave Chinatown?

And try your luck upstate?

- Uncle Fung, I plan on giving him a false sense of security.

Collect more protection fees and buy him out.

- He beat you.

Who will give you protection fees now?

Think about it.

- Uncle Fung, maybe I'm not his match inside Chinatown,

but I have outsiders.

- Your outsiders? Don't create more widows.

Let me gift you something big.

- We're invincible.

- Correct.

- [Ray Lui] I'm really a book boy this time.

- [Maria] Well, do you want me as a dinner companion?

- What do you want to eat?

- Let me think it over. - Hi Steve.

- It's weed.

Too scared to try?

- Where's our masters student?

- He's in a seminar over there.

- Sir, in 1900, the French-led Eight Nation Alliance invaded China.

Do you think America's invasion was acceptable?

- What's worth talking about? - Let's debate it!

- Good question.

From a historical perspective,

China's government was rotten.

There was endless internal turmoil.

America arrived on Empress Cixi's invitation

to help quell internal strife.

You cannot call it an invasion.

- Are you serious?

It was an invasion. - Stay out of it.

- Do you really think the invasion of China

by the Eight Nation Alliance was reasonable?

- You're biased.

But any history book will prove you wrong.

- Master, correct him.

- Yes, Empress Cixi invited the wolf into her chambers.

But the massacred population

and the stolen Chinese antiques displayed in your museums

demonstrate the true, greedy intent of America.

They wanted a piece of the pie.

- You're twisting the facts!

[Professor] What are you doing?

- Nothing. I'm just wondering if you're twisting history.

- No.

- No?

Really?

- Yes.

- Yes?

Now you understand that history is written by guns.

- Lui, this is inappropriate.

- I want you to know that China's situation

then is like yours right now.

Twisting history...

Preposterous!

No wonder the white men killed all the red Indians,

and still think themselves justified.

- Good point!

- [Student] Whites are much worse than red Indians!

- You're so full of rage.

At the end of the day, he's the professor.

- He's always going on about how good the Americans are.

Why should I listen to such nonsense?

- [Big Fool] Mr. Lui!

Mr. Lui, there's trouble.

I've been chasing you for nine blocks.

- Big Fool, are you crazy?

You're seeing immigration tomorrow. Why are you out here?

- That's why I'm here. I can't stop thinking about it.

- I thought it was some big deal.

Just go with Lindy tomorrow and give the right answers,

then there's nothing to worry about.

- After I marry her, can I still have a Chinese wife?

- Bigamy is illegal.

What's wrong with a blonde?

Gentlemen prefer blondes!

- Shit. Well, before I boarded the boat,

my mother had me swear to not marry a white girl.

- Oh, you sweet fool.

Fake marriage is a business transaction.

Your package includes divorce proceedings.

What are you worrying about?

Smarten up tomorrow for immigration!

- Alright. - Go ahead!

- The food was quite good here, no?

- Yes. - Benny, I'd like to call home.

- Sure. - Will you come with me?

- Sure. Wait for me? - Sure thing.

- It's Fanny, and she's looking hot!

- You know Chinese girls are easier on the eyes than white girls.

- Hi Fanny, looking for me?

Why bother calling your boyfriend? I'm right here!

- I won't do? - My boyfriend is coming over.

- Fanny is mine, watch yourself.

- Yours? Who met her first?

- She's mine now. - Watch yourself, kid.

She's fair game, anyone can flirt with her.

- Your boss and our Mr. Lui have an agreement.

Stay on your block.

Coming over here, bothering girls. Are you looking for a fight?

- So what? Brother Cho said to do what your heart desires!

- Exactly. - No exceptions!

- Get out of here unless you can take a beating.

Out of respect for your boss. - Fuck your respect.

I'II fight you fair and square.

Cool it! - Don't do anything rash.

- Fight me one on one if you dare.

- What do you say, bookworm?

- Brother. - Mr. Lui, they...

- Enough. I understand.

Our territories are clearly demarcated.

Stop causing trouble here, okay?

- They started it!

- The blocks are yours, but the girls are fair game!

- Quit the act.

- Who do you think you are?

Don't you know I'm giving you a way out?

Get out of here immediately!

- Lui, you need not school my men like that.

- Why not?

You've failed to teach them manners.

- I've failed to teach them manners?

Are you insulting Uncle Fung?

- Uncle Fung may be enjoying the show,

but you know what I'm about.

- Can't worry about so much in this line of work.

- Well, you said it.

The gloves are coming off.

- Lindy.

Twenty-eig ht years old.

38"-

24"-

Three, three.

36".

Every month...

She gets her period on the fifth of every month.

- She can cook Chinese food! - [Lindy] Big Fool!

- Wait for me, Lindy!

Wait up!

- Hello, Mr. Chan.

I'd like to ask you,

do you truly love Miss Lindy?

- Yes, I'm over the moon for her.

- But she's a westerner.

A different race.

Have you considered your cultural differences?

- You're American, and I'm Chinese.

We both rely on our five fingers for success.

- Mr. Chan, what are your views on sexual liberation?

- What a question.

It's hard to say.

Well, I'm ready for all 360 degrees.

- Black?

- What perfume does she use?

- Perfume?

Shit.

It must be Shanghai Two Girls!

- Two Girls?

- Flowers?

Queen of Clubs.

- Who is your wife's preferred singer?

For instance, Barbara Streisand.

- No, she likes Yam Kim-Fai.

- What did you say?

- You know... a blind man peeing...

- Sign here.

Please.

- Did I answer correctly?

- What do you think?

- Shit, now what?

- Congratulations Mr. Chan. You're now a resident of the United States.

- How was it? - Hello, Mr. Lui!

I answered all the questions correctly!

- Congratulations.

- Aren't I incredible?

- Of course. Congratulations.

- That's what you think!

Answered correctly... Mr. Lui set it all up for you!

- Uncle Fung, we've tried to raise money a few times

and the association owes us funds.

As you know, it's hard to feed an army without rations.

- Is that the case?

I'll bring them in for an audit.

- Kids who aren't obedient

make our job harder.

- Son, you know how much I like you.

If you make the first strike, I'II back you.

- Benny!

- Sorry I'm late, Maria. - No worries.

- Maria!

Uncle Fung doesn't want you hanging around such people.

- Who are you to boss me around?

- It's none of my business. It's Uncle Fung's decision.

- You're mistaking a feather for an arrow.

- What do you think you're doing?

- You told me to go, but you're in my way.

- Don't move! - You want your head or your legs?

- How dare you behave this way at Uncle Fung's house!

- This is your own doing.

- Goodnight, Feathers.

- If it weren't for me, Chinatown would not know peace.

That being said,

I've noticed a new breed of disrespectful kids.

Lui, going by the book,

what do you say we should do?

- Uncle Fung, it sounds like a misunderstanding to me.

- You're protecting him?

Are you saying Cho is making it up?

- I'll stick to the facts.

I didn't season my story. - Quit it with the old idioms.

- The truth is the truth. I did not exaggerate.

- Lui, I think you're not chairman material.

- Wait. If I'm in the wrong, I'll take responsibility.

It's got nothing to do with Mr. Lui. - Benny.

- Mr. Lui, he's mistaking being old for being an elder.

Do you really think you're an elder?

Do you know how we young men see you?

As an antique!

- Lui, this no longer concerns you. Get out of here.

But he's staying.

- No.

He's with me.

And I'm not leaving without him.

You want to punish him by the book.

He's mine.

I should be the one to dole out the punishment.

Give me a knife.

- Benny,

kneeL

- Mr. Lui!

[Benny] Mr. Lui!

Mr. Lui.

- I've taken his punishment.

If anyone is not satisfied,

they can take it up with me.

- As Mr. Lui has accepted this punishment,

this matter is concluded.

- I hope you've learned to watch what you say.

Don't make the same mistake.

- Mr. Lui, Dr. Ching is on his way.

- Mr. Lui, how is your leg?

- Even if it hurt, he wouldn't say so!

Look at your ugly mug. Think before you speak!

Thankfully Mr. Lui is fine, or I'd have chopped you up.

- You blame me?

- Am I wrong? I'm teaching you a lesson!

- Benny!

- Stop this.

Wipe the blood off of Big Fool.

Go on.

I'm in the wrong.

I'm sorry, Big Fool. When will you see Lindy?

- How can I see her with a nose like this?

- That's right. How can he see her with a nose like that?

- It'll be a even better fit now that your nose is bigger.

- Let me wipe it for you. - I can do it myself!

- You're awful at this. Allow me.

Catch!

The ball is bigger than you!

Careful not to step on me.

Wasn't that fun?

Are you tired?

Let's sit over there.

Take a seat.

What would you like?

- I like cotton candy.

- Are you a toddler? - I like it!

- Alright then, for nostalgia's sake.

Are you alright?

- He groped me!

How is he?

- It's fine now.

Let's go.

- Hello, Mr. Lui.

- What's the occasion? Whose birthday is it?

- It must be Big Fool! - No.

Lindy wants to... - What does she want?

- She wants to bed him!

- She says otherwise she'II tell immigration!

- That's not bad. She likes you.

- Yes, Mr. Lui, I really like Big Fool.

- What do you like about him?

- He pays for the movies and dinner,

and I like how hairy he is! I love it!

- He is just like a gorilla.

- These are just basic manners!

Who said I like you?

- You were very handsy in the cinema!

- Big Fool, why?

- Big Fool, don't miss your chance.

- Mr. Lui, can they use your room?

- Big Fool, don't go too crazy.

- I have so many rooms here, take your pick!

- Go in!

- Big Fool is in trouble now!

Usually he talks to talk, but now, he's in it for real!

- Are you peeking?

- Big Fool! Are you alright?

- Are you alright?

- I'II survive...

- Isn't it a Chinese custom to give a red pouch the first time after sex?

- Yes, yes!

- Here's a red pouch for you.

- Good, good!

- Open the door, see who it is.

- Mr. Lui told you to keep up the good work

and hurry up and have a fat baby.

- You want a fat baby? - A chubby cherub!

- Of course!

- Get to work!

- Master, the uniforms are here to see Lui.

- Were you in Coney Island this morning?

- Yes.

- [Police] Then I'm afraid you're under arrest.

Please come with us to the station.

- Your honor, according to the coroner's report,

the victim's death was caused by the severing of his spinal cord

The accused downplayed the incident, obscuring the truth.

- Your honor, the defendant pleads not guilty.

The defendant only confirms that he slapped the victim on his face

but that could not have caused the victim's death.

The prosecutors case does not fit with my client's testimony.

We ask that the court look into the victim's background.

- Your honor, we found that Mr. Lui has a black belt in karate,

however, as he failed to register this with local authorities,

he thereby broke New York State ordinance section 6-734.

On the day of the crime, in Coney Island,

the victim groped the defendant's girlfriend.

The accused chased down the victim and beat him up.

There are also eyewitnesses of the fight ready to give testimony.

- I saw him run after the victim because of the girl.

The victim did not fight back.

- The only explanation is that the defendant used violence

in order to kill the defenseless victim.

- Nonsense! No such thing happened!

- Calm down, Mr. Lui. - Order! Silence!

This court finds that further investigation is necessary.

This case stands adjourned until August 23.

- What's happening to Lui has nothing to do with me.

- I know you can convince the witnesses

to not take the stand against Lui.

Please say yes.

- No problem.

If you also say yes.

- When all is said and done,

I'm the one in your heart.

- That was fast.

- This was a one time deal.

- Sure, not a problem.

- Cho, if you break your promise,

I'll kill you.

- Your Honor, the girlfriend of the accused tried to bribe me

to not provide testimony against Lui.

- How did she try to bribe you?

- She slept with Cho

hoping he would bribe me to not provide testimony against Lui.

- Objection, your honor.

This incident has no relationship to this case.

- Objection sustained.

- Your honor, the jury finds the defendant guilty.

- I hereby declare

that granted the evidence before us

and the unanimous decision of the jury,

the defendant Mr. Lui is found guilty as charged.

Sentencing you to a mandatory term of twenty-five years to life.

- Your honor, we intend to appeal this verdict.

- Court adjourned!

- Maria!

- Help her up! - How are you?

- Help her out.

- Out of the way, leave it to me.

- Maria!

- I'II fry some eggs for you.

- Who is it? - [Master] Master.

- Well?

- I went to see Mr. Lui this morning.

He told us to lay low.

One more thing.

Master Lee will take care of the lawyer.

- I can stay behind and help out.

- You're the most conspicuous. You better go.

- It should be fine if I stay.

- You? Everyone knows you're with Mr. Lui.

- They'll recognise you even if you're cremated.

- Run, run!

- That way! - Follow me!

- Hurry, get in!

- Get in the alleyway!

- Don't you find it odd?

Since Lui went to jail,

Chinatown has been so beautiful.

So, I think

all of you better not ruin this peace.

I've decided

from now on, we will split revenues 10/90.

- Uncle Fung, what a generous change of heart!

90°/o iS very good to us.

- No!

He plans to give us 10%!

What's the point of having a meeting?

- Save it! That's blatant theft.

- My boy, now Chinatown is mine.

I hope you appreciate my kindness towards you.

- Uncle Fung,

unfortunately, my ambition

considerably outweighs yours!

- Boss, what do you say to a lucky watermelon?

- Thanks. - You know how it is.

Help take care of our brothers, both living and dead.

- I understand.

- Take this first.

- You're kidding me.

- Business is tough!

- With a shop this size?

$10,000 per month, no haggling!

- That's basically all we make!

- Hey!

Please don't do that. Please!

- You bastard! - Stop!

- I'II chop you up!

Stop running, I'll kill you, you thief!

- Who is stealing from you? - That bastard!

- Put down the cleaver!

- How was it? - Easy.

- You?

- Any problems?

- Not at all.

- Boss, should we be a little less showy?

-John.

Paul, David.

Come on out.

- Widen your stance.

- Master Lee.

You're very diligent with your training, Master Lee.

No wonder you were unable to perform for us.

- I hope your chairman's banquet was festive.

I'm terrible at kissing ass.

I'd be useless there.

- You wouldn't make me feel unwelcome now that I'm here, would you?

- I dare not offend you.

You're the king of Chinatown now.

Even Lui is in jail.

You've evened all the scores.

- My involvement in Lui's circumstances are just rumors.

Chinatown is so peaceful now. You should thank me.

- Every business has to give you exorbitant protection fees.

How can they survive?

Addicts are getting high all over. You call that peace?

You've got a cop as your bodyguard. Chinatown is now an even bigger mess.

- Master Lee, it seems like you are prejudiced towards me.

- All a cop has to do after killing someone

is to write a report!

Why would I be prejudiced?

A bodyguard...

- Like you, I'm a civilian.

I don't have my badge.

Or my gun.

You're the master of Chinatown.

I'm a kickboxing champion. Let's have ourselves a match.

- Don't blame me if you die.

- You can both sign a release form.

Satisfied?

- Bring it on.

- Please.

- Master Lee, call quits anytime.

Don't push yourself too hard.

-IdonT need your--

- No, we didn't.

- Grandpa H0 is back already?

- Wait. Grandpa Ho has keys.

Why would he ring the bell?

- Who is it?

- Hurry up!

Say it!

- Mr. Lui, it's me.

- See? I told you it was Grandpa Ho.

- Good luck!

- Hey, I think they know it's us.

- Now what?

- After you.

Mr. Cho, getting this place for a million dollars,

plus another $400,000 in renovations,

It's perfect for adult films in Chinatown!

Plus, you've got this sergeant watching over you.

- Mr. Chan, which one is Mr. Cho? There's a call for him.

- Mr. Cho, let's take a look at the hall.

Our cinema does quite well.

We have fifteen hundred seats.

Was it a rat?

- Sorry, I broke something. - How clumsy! Pick it up.

Apologies, Mr. Cho.

Let's go this way.

Don't worry, Mr. Cho,

I'II oversee all the renovations.

- Hey! Why did you break my mannequin?

You better pay me back for it!

- We'll pay for it. - Are you looking for trouble?

- I'll get in trouble with my boss!

- Get out of here!

- Hurry up! - Follow them in a car.

- This whole night is jinxed. Listen up--

- It's not him!

- Get in the van!

- Boss!

Catch!

Spread out!

- Boss, the van is empty.

- Benny!

- Why does it smell of gasoline?

Should we get out?

Let's get out through the trunk.

- Okay.

Let's split up.

- You traitor! You betrayed me!

- Please, please don't shoot!

Have mercy on me Ray! Don't do it, Ray!

I beg you Ray! We went to school together!

I'm on my knees! Please, Ray!

Let go of me! Don't shoot!

Don't shoot, Ray!

I'm on my knees, I'm begging you!

- Destroying these communist bandits

and bringing peace and prosperity to Chinatown once more.

Your sacrifice was valuable.

- Your mission is complete.

Please take a few days off and report back.

- My mission is complete,

but the cost was too high.
