Original subtitles

Sis, with you gone, Chiu Yeung cannot go on living.

Where is Fung Ha-moon? I must save someone.

You must play dirty if you're up against someone like him,

go for the throat, eyes, back of his head.

Nothing is beneath you.

I won't force you. You don't need to help.

How dare you! Illegal possession of a plaque of a martial club!

Plotting to rebel?

No, the Baji School is a thing of the past.

We have not taught any classes.

We fix teeth and sell candies.

How do you explain this?

Move your foot!

Siu-chi got hit on the head.

I told him to throw it out and he forgot.

He's just keeping it like a toy.

Siu-chi, let go...

Brother Ha-moon, there's nobody here.

Nothing.

It's just a misunderstanding.

We'll keep an eye out for those two.

You expect me to look the other way?

Fung, tell Siu-chi to let go.

You... rip it apart.

You must be kidding.

My nephew is a dentist,

he can't rip apart a plaque.

Shall I loan you some tools?

Do it!

Nice!

Too bad you have no use for it.

Better mind your own business.

Let's go.

It stinks...

It stinks so much, but still he's sound asleep.

Looks like Boxer must be seriously injured.

Minor fractures to the ribs and he's running a fever.

Make sure he takes his medication on time

and he'll get better.

Yam-yam, even when you're hungry,

don't eat durian, it's bad for the wound.

Thai Hag will look after you.

I understand.

Thai Hag has done her share,

taught him to fight, let them stay and gave them food.

What about the Tooth Man?

Thanks for carrying them up

and dressing their wounds.

I feel much better with a doctor around.

You can't stay here much longer.

You must get them out of the City.

All the exits are heavily guarded.

I have a plan, but not sure if it'll work.

Don't tell me. I don't want to know.

No, listen to me...

This is all I can do for you.

I'm not interested in your plan

and I can't get more involved.

I have done everything I could.

I will not oppose the Fellow Association.

You're really leaving?

Keep it quiet. Leave separately. Don't let anyone see you.

Tooth Man!

Hey...

Tooth Man!

Boss, he has been a great help already.

We shouldn't impose on him any further.

But Tak-liu, tell us your plan.

90% of the sticky rice pudding sold in Hong Kong comes from the City.

They make regular deliveries outside the City,

and provide a hefty income for the Fellow Association.

If we place them inside the delivery truck,

we can sneak them out of the City.

How can we get their help?

It's so hot! We've been working day and night.

Haven't enjoyed Cantonese opera for a while.

I really want to listen to Sorrows of an Autumn Trip.

Me too.

You both like Nanyin? Yes!

Have you heard of Blind Chung from Temple Street?

Of course! He's very good. Yes!

Let's go there tonight.

I have to make a delivery to Tiger Rock.

Great! I need to deliver something to a relative in Tiger Rock. It's urgent.

But it's rather difficult to get in and out of the City.

Can you drop it off for me?

I'd rather listen to Nanyin after work.

How about I make the delivery for you?

I can deliver the stuff to my relative

and you can get off work early.

No way! The Boss will be very angry.

I'll give you $10.

Let me make the delivery for you.

No one will know if we keep our mouths shut

What are you doing?

Boss!

You're the owner?

Great! I need a favour from you.

Come on in! Great!

Here's the deal... I need to make an urgent delivery outside the City.

I can pay you for transportation.

I sell sticky rice pudding, I'm not in the transport business.

You came to the wrong place.

You're in the business to make money, right?

You have nothing to lose.

If $10 is not enough, I can pay you $20.

I'm a businessman and I need to work out every dollar.

I need to calculate the profits as well as the risks involved.

You're willing to pay so much for this job,

obviously you need to move something important.

I may lose more than I make if things should go wrong.

You worry too much.

I came to you because it's convenient.

I must worry.

I have 38 employees and they all have families.

As the owner, I'm responsible for my workers.

That's why I must be very careful with what I do.

But...

I won't do any business with you.

Why?

Approaching me like this is too reckless.

What if I'm affiliated with the Fellow Association?

Please go away. I'll pretend we never met.

Lady Boss!

What are you doing here?

I can't thank you enough for saving Yam-yam.

What are you talking about?

Yam-yam's mother scolded me in a dream.

Thanks to you, I avoided making a grave mistake.

Go away. I don't know where Yam-yam is.

It was my fault. I gambled everything away.

I'm not human.

Please let me see Yam-yam.

I must tell her in person how sorry I am.

Please let me see her.

I'll chop off my fingers and quit gambling...

Go ahead! I'll let you see her after you chop them off.

Hey, a father has the right to see his daughter.

You have no right to stop our reunion.

You don't have a daughter anymore. You sold her, remember?

Precisely because you rescued her after I sold her.

You'll get me in trouble.

You want me to kill you, scumbag? And rid the world of an evil?

That's enough! I'll look for her myself.

This place is too small for her to hide.

They're all gone.

Why did But Tak-liu sneak into Thai Hag's store?

Though I wash my hands after I sold you the goods.

I took your money, I won't con you.

I will find Yam-yam for you.

I'm warning you, you'd better not be lying.

I wouldn't dare lie to you.

If I find my daughter for you,

will you still clear my debts?

If I get my hands on her,

I can even call you father-in-law.

That's beside the point.

What about the bride price...

What bride? I was just kidding.

Your daughter is a hooker to me!

It was just an idea.

I have seen my share of scumbags,

but none like you.

How many times do you want to sell your daughter?

Please hurry, Brother Ha-moon.

Or she'll run off again.

Let's go!

Here we are.

What are you doing here?

Search! Yes!

Hey, you were here yesterday.

I got wind they're hiding out here.

I saw someone sneaking medication into your store.

You don't look sick to me.

You keep coming back to search my store.

How can I do any business?

I'm not scared of you because Lung Shing-fu is your son.

This is Fellow Association business, even Buddha can't protect you.

Leave him out of this.

If I find that little tramp in here,

I'll have the excuse to finish him off.

If you're not a customer,

I'll beat up whoever crosses this line.

Put me down!

On my count to 3, get lost! 1... 2...

You publicly offend the Association?

We agreed this will be a warning to others.

You work for Or Man-cheung,

are you working against your Boss?

In my mother's presence,

my only status is that of a son.

Even if you can beat me,

you can't beat several hundred men of the Association.

I don't care how many there are.

All those who mess with my Ma will die.

Stop! I don't care who you're fighting for or against.

Fung Ha-moon, you probably won't rest until you search my store.

But you're on my turf, you cannot come and go as you please.

If you don't find them, you must leave a hand behind.

You don't scare me! Search!

Don't overlook anything, not even a rat hole.

If you find the little tramp and that jerk, bring them to me.

Yes!

There's a compartment in the ceiling.

I knew it! Go up there! Yes!

If I find them, I'll take more than a hand.

If you don't, I also want more than a hand.

You'll pay for everything in this store.

Nothing, Brother Ha-moon!

Let's go!

Leaving already?

I'll pay for everything. Let's go.

A man must keep his word.

Brother Ha-moon, your jacket.

I promised you a hand, but I didn't say it's mine.

Ouch...

Shut the heck up. This is your deposit.

You still owe me the rest for giving me a false tip. Take him away.

Yes! Move it!

Get lost if you're not buying anything.

You're no different from Fung Ha-moon.

What are you doing?

Closing the shop.

I grew up here.

I know every hole and every crack.

Don't give my Ma any more trouble.

Next time, you answer to me.

Miss Audrey!

What is it?

I mistook you for someone else.

Maltose sugar candy!

A man tried to pick me up.

What?

Be careful, you might get kidnapped.

Everyone says the City is dangerous.

I think it's no different from the slums we visited in the U.K.

Your Dad wouldn't let you come here.

He doesn't know. He's too busy.

The bodyguards are stupid.

I went in through the front door and nobody knew I snuck out from the back.

Did you find Sister Maria's school?

The old man said turn left, left, right and another left.

No, he said left, left, left and right.

No, he said...

It's true!

You're getting me mixed up.

What?

Let's take a left and then ask again.

Let's go.

Wait here, I'll go tell Sister.

Thank you...

It took us 2 hours to get here.

It's easy to get lost in these criss-crossed streets.

They should call it the Kowloon Maze, not Kowloon Walled City.

I'm glad we arrived before dark.

Sister said you could go in.

But it's time for me to leave.

Please lock the door on your way out.

Sure!

Thank you!

Sister...

You have a bad cough. Are you alright?

I forgot to tell you not to come.

No, you're not well and we should come look after you.

There has been a lot of fighting inside the City.

No, it was quite peaceful when we came.

Sister, I'm worried about you.

You should go see a doctor.

I did. I'll be fine after I take the pills.

Sister, you're here by yourself?

The workers are off duty.

What if something happens to you?

Let's stay and keep Sister Maria company.

Great!

No, I don't want to trouble you.

No trouble at all. We told our families we're spending the night.

We can catch up.

Get some rest, OK?

Be careful, Sister!

Gather around, Brother Ha-moon has an announcement to make.

It's your own fault if you miss this.

You'll be dead and don't know why.

Folks, I'm sure you have heard,

Li Wai-yam is my new bride.

Some clown called Boxer didn't know better

and publicly went against the Fellow Association

by kidnapping my bride on my wedding day.

Stop barking! Don't bark while I'm talking.

Gambler Fat?

Brother Ha-moon, this pain is killing me.

Keep barking and I'll rip off your mouth!

Sorry, I was interrupted by a dog.

I won't take up your time because you must make a living.

I'll cut to the chase,

Yam-yam, Boxer, you have 3 days to turn yourselves in.

If you don't, I'll kill everyone in the City.

What?

I'll kill everyone in the City.

I cannot die.

We don't know where they are!

We have nothing to do with this!

You choose to live or die.

If you don't want to die,

do your very best to find them for me.

If there's no word about them after 3 days,

I'll start with this dog and you'll be next.

We'll leave the City for a few days.

Don't even think about it.

My men will guard all the exits in the next 3 days.

You have 3 days.

My dear, I'll leave your father out in the sun for 3 days.

We'll see how long he'll last.

I'm waiting for your good news.

Let's go.

Step aside...

We're at their mercy.

If they corner us, we'll fight them.

Fishball Ming, don't be reckless.

We've set aside our kung fu for so long,

I only know how to wrap candy

and you can only make fishballs.

Keung makes flour and

Shun delivers the mail.

How can we fight anyone?

We can't, but Master Zit-keung and Ying-fung can.

What did I tell you? Kung fu is to build your strength,

not for you to pick fights.

Fung Ha-moon is smarter than he looks.

The massacre idea is just to drive a wedge among us

and make everyone spy for him.

He can't be serious about the massacre, is he?

The Association wants to make money from the City,

I don't think they'll go that far, but...

But Fung Ha-moon is pissed.

He'll sacrifice someone and the neighbours will suffer.

Siu-chi, why do you look so scared?

I can't let you see.

What are you hiding under the bed?

Please don't look!

I'm sorry, Tooth Man. We have nowhere to go.

Why are they here?

The comics says "the strong exists to protect the weak."

Don't open the wardrobe either.

Don't open it. You really can't open it.

Hello, Tooth Man!

Master Zit-keung!

Siu-chi, go downstairs.

I need to talk to Ying-fung.

Why are you staring at the wardrobe?

It's hot, I wanted to change my shirt.

Carry on. I'll just say a few words.

Why? You're embarrassed to change in front of me?

You take after your father.

You have a strong sense of justice even as a child.

After what happened to Siu-chi,

you have become more composed and level-headed.

Fung Ha-moon threatened us with massacre,

though you didn't show it, I know you're very angry.

Recklessness will only get yourself and other people in trouble.

Boxer is one good, bloody example.

I understand, Uncle.

Tooth Man...

Tooth Man...

Don't be mad.

I told you, I don't want to get involved.

But you tricked a mentally challenged kid.

The last person I want to hurt is Siu-chi.

We had nowhere to go.

If hitting me makes you feel better, go ahead.

That won't change the fact that they're hiding in my house.

The Association will show no mercy.

You'll get my family killed.

If it's useless to hit me, go after the Association.

You're a kung fu master,

you can help break us out.

That's just foolhardiness.

It's better than doing nothing.

Boxer can't fight but he went through with the rescue.

Siu-chi is mentally challenged, but he helped us.

A kung fu master should have strength of character.

But you chose to be a coward.

You're worse than Siu-chi.

Yes, I'm worse than Siu-chi.

I'm responsible for what happened to him.

Thank you...

Give me your money!

No!

Help...

Don't hit him!

Then I'll hit you!

You can't beat me!

I'll be back!

Honey!

What happened? Who did this?

Those people said you interfered.

They took it out on Siu-chi after you went out.

I'll go after them now!

Stop! Look what you have done to Siu-chi!

You want more trouble?

You may be a kung fu master,

but what if they come after my kids?

My daughter is just a baby. My son has just learnt to talk.

Don't be sad. A man must be flexible.

Don't hit me...

What do you want?

I came to see if you took down the plaque.

We did.

Isn't it fun to demolish your own plaque?

I bet you're pissed as Hell!

That's what you get for beating me up.

I did it for a moment's glory.

Look what happened to Siu-chi and the Baji School.

If being a hero means making your family bear the consequence,

I'd rather be a coward.

I see.

I won't force you.

Just let us stay the night.

What happens after that?

Follow me. Come on.

Why are we here?

Just come with me.

Honey!

Perfect timing. We're done.

Look!

You stole the cart from the sticky rice pudding factory?

No, we made one ourselves.

Well? Does it look like a real one?

The Association's cut off all the roads.

But because sticky rice pudding brings in a lot of money,

the Association would not stop them.

We'll hide Boxer and Yam-yam in this cart,

and we'll get them out of the City.

We'll hide Boxer and Yam-yam inside

and put sticky rice pudding on top.

Even if they check, no one will know they're hiding underneath.

We have a secret compartment filled with weapons.

If we run into people from the Association, we'll fight them.

Put in another compartment for water.

They'll have water to drink when they're thirsty.

Am I smart or what?

Too smart. Why not put in a mahjong table?

They can play if they're bored.

Good idea!

There's no room for them if you put in too many compartments.

Take them out.

The Association threatened to start killing if they didn't find them in 3 days.

Even if you can save them, what about the others?

If killing them can save the others,

would you kill them right now?

I don't know if Fung Ha-moon would go through with the massacre.

And I also know there are 2 people we must save right now.

Rather than worrying about what comes after,

I'd rather deal with the present.

Boxer, you're running a fever.

I'll be fine. I can sleep it off.

But you can't sleep here.

Tooth Man and Siu-chi are out,

Sleep on the bed and get some rest.

No!

It's best for everyone if you get well soon.

Come on, I'll keep watch.

We'll go back into hiding if I hear someone coming.

Did you see that dog cage on Tai Ching Street?

Someone is sent to the clinic.

He's barely alive being out in the sun for so long.

With no water or food and an injury to the hand,

he probably can't last 3 days.

This is his retribution for selling his daughter.

He may deserve his retribution,

but if she doesn't show up soon,

Fung Ha-moon may start killing people,

and the whole City will be buried with her.

Boxer, you're my hero. Thanks for saving me.

But I'm not worth it.

I can't let other people get hurt because of me.

Especially my father.

Whatever he has done, he's still my father.

I can't watch him die.

Mr. Or...

I went to see Inspector Cheng.

What happened?

Is it about Fung Ha-moon's threat?

He doesn't scare me.

My daughter is missing.

She said she's spending the night at a friend's house.

But they never went home.

Her friend's family don't know where they are.

I want you to go look for her.

She's my only child.

Nothing must happen to her.

Yes...

She's running a fever and is semi-conscious.

She seems worse than yesterday after she took the medication.

The City is full of doctors who practise without a licence.

Maybe he prescribed the wrong medication.

We'd better take Sister to a proper doctor.

But Sister told us not to go outside.

Let's decide with rock, paper and scissors.

Don't bother, I'll go.

Audrey! Hey...

Yam-yam...

What are you doing out here?

Did Yam-yam go out?

Where did she go?

I was half conscious

when I heard her say...

something about "cannot watch someone die".

Let's go look for her.

You stay here. I'll go look for her.

I can help.

The whole City is looking for you.

You know your situation.

Stay here and I'll go.

One day has gone by. What should we do?

If we don't find the girl, we'll both be dead.

So what if we find Yam-yam?

As long as Fung Ha-moon is around,

there's no end to this.

Father... are you alright?

Water...

Water?

Water...

Here... wet your lips.

Are you alright? Better now?

Help me.

I'll save you!

Help me.

I will, Father.

We reeled in the big fish.

Try harder!

Need some help?

I'll hit whoever bullies Yam-yam!

Go to Hell, idiot!

Stay back. I have a stick.

You don't bring out the good stuff until you're ready to die.

They think a tail of fish will make you change your mind.

They're out of their mind.

Brother Ha-moon, he's over there!

You're dead, you jerk!

Oil?

Let's see how you can grab me.

Stop it...

Step aside! Carry on!

Stop it!

No!

Siu-chi... no!

That's enough, Siu-chi!

No, Siu-chi... let them!

The strong exists to protect the weak.

I won't let anything happen to you.

Siu-chiu... stop it!

Stop it, Siu-chi... No!

Baji fist will not accept defeat.

Save your breath to get yourself a coffin.

A fight broke out on Tai Ching Street...

Go give them a hand.

A lot of men are down. Give them a hand.

Little Senior Brother!

Siu-chi, protect Yam-yam!

What is it?

Run!

I like fair complexion.

We'll have a lot of fun.

Scumbag!

Bravo, Little Senior Brother! You're back!

It's said in the comics

"The strong exists to protect the weak."

I won't let you outshine me.

Cut! Right here.

No...

Boom! He goes flying...

Boom, you do this and...

Jump!

Right here!

Yes, right there.

No... he's slipping hands. Wait...
