Original subtitles

If they can't be found in 3 days...

I'll kill everyone in the Walled City!

Maybe you can save the two.

Have you thought about others?

I don't know if Fung Ha-moon will start killing people,

I do know that two lives now rest with me.

The strong exists to protect the weak.

I can't lose out to Siu-chi.

Scum!

Give way...

Moon, hang in there...

The doctor is on his way.

Dr...

Save Moon... be quick...

What are you doing?

Brother Ha-moon has passed away.

His eyes are wide open; he's alive!

Save him!

I can't revive the dead.

Save him or you will be dead!

You can kill me, but you can't save him.

Is it about money?

Here you are... save him!

Save him! Be quick! Yes...

Brother Chun-mei...

Moon...

Mr Or. Please sit.

Is Miss Or alright?

Here's for saving her.

No, thanks. I was doing my job.

Why don't we take Fung Chun-mei out as well?

You're lucky no one saw you.

Leave Fung Chun-mei alone!

Do you mean to tell everyone you killed him?

That scum asked for it.

I killed him. I don't mean to deny it!

Alright, so you are a noble character.

Don't you forget I am your boss. I pay you.

You wouldn't sit as I bid you.

You wouldn't take the reward.

You refused money throwing your way.

I can bear with you there.

Yes, you were bent on saving my daughter,

you shouldn't have killed Fung Ha-moon.

If his brother finds out about it,

he'll team up with Opium Kam.

It'll mean the end of me in the Association

Mr Or, just give me your order.

Are you sure no one saw you?

There were no other people around.

Both Miss Or and the guy had passed out.

We can't be too careful.

Check them out before they find out anything.

(Fat Tat Warehouse)

Everything fine here.

It's time to go.

Where the heck is that Boxer?

Big news! Fung Ha-moon was beaten to death.

No kidding?

Many saw him lying there dead.

Why should I lie?

He wanted to kill me.

Now who's the dead one?

Tooth Man, do they still have to flee?

Definitely.

Fung Ha-moon's dead,

his brother must be mad with fury.

It'll be dangerous for you two to stay in the Walled City.

No more talking. We'll stick to our plan.

Come on.

Shouldn't we wait for Boxer?

No. He should have shown up.

Tiu Lan, that would let him down!

You've got it wrong.

We are worried he's linked to Fung Ha-moon's death.

If that's the case, you all the more have to flee now.

We can't take care of so many at one time.

Come on...

Boss, I'll miss you.

Silly girl, we'll meet again.

You have been so kind to me, I don't know how to repay you.

Simple. Forget the unhappy past.

Start anew after you are out.

You've completed the apprenticeship, you can make a living.

Don't ever give up reading and writing.

Remember this, however great the difficulties ahead,

your life is in your own hands. Get it?

I promise you I won't fail you or embarrass you.

It's about time.

And you guys...

Tooth Man, But Tak-liu, Mrs But...

and Boxer and Siu-chi who aren't here,

my pa and I owe our lives to you.

I'll forever be grateful.

We have to set out, or we can't make it.

Come on...

You too should stay away.

Wait till we know what's happening here first. Because of what I did?

Fung Chun-mei must have found out already.

I'll face the music.

I won't leave a mess for my family to clean up.

I am sorry. I dragged you in.

It's my own decision.

I never regret what I have done.

Stop.

How is it?

Go.

Halt.

What are you doing?

Going out of the city.

The City is closed.

Now get lost!

Hey, you!

I mean you. Didn't you hear me?

Come on over.

Be quick.

Tell us early if you have an extra cart next time.

Sorry. We have a large order today.

Be back quick.

Go.

(Yeung Kee Pastry)

Boss Yeung, thank you.

Here's 20 dollars.

Take it as sticky rice pudding money.

You don't have to. I won't tell.

You are a businessman.

I shouldn't let you suffer any loss.

Get it straight.

I did it to save my own skin.

I am sorry.

I've told you before.

I have 38 lives to answer for.

You don't just owe me, you owe them as well.

I understand.

I appreciate your chivalry.

Still, it's just a fine line between good and evil.

It's by luck that you could make it this time.

I know.

I too hope it's the last time.

Still, thank you.

Hey, your money.

It's for the pudding.

It's yummy...

Rich in human kindness.

Please, one of us is gone.

Couldn't you stop smoking for a day to pay the dead respects?

I am devastated by the loss.

I smoked more than usual in my grief, OK?

Guys...

We are here to see if we can help.

Can you two revive the dead?

No, but I can turn the living into the dead

Fu, do whatever you can to help Brother Chun-mei get the killer.

Mr Fung, do you have any clues?

You are spared the trouble.

I've got the killer.

He's right here in this building.

That's quick of you.

Who is that rascal?

He's upstairs.

Care to meet him?

This rascal here?

Rascal, you had the nerve to kill Brother Ha-moon...

You can beat him up, just don't kill him.

His life belongs to my brother.

Moon, you've gained weight.

Don't worry.

I am making your gown myself. You'll look slim in it.

I promised Mom I would take good care of you.

Whatever you've become, you'll get the best from me.

The most gorgeous outfit,

the most expensive watch,

the most stylish shoes...

the man you can't stand and your beloved woman.

I'll send out invites on your behalf.

Guys, be there early.

Sister, I know you are not used to strange beds.

I bought you lavender to help you sleep better.

I've settled the bills.

Come on, we can go.

Daddy, we are here to pay her a visit.

Shouldn't we spend some time with her?

What's the point?

Money is more useful.

She's got the best hospital, the best doctor and the best care.

Sister, am I right?

She's asleep.

We can go.

Thank heavens she's asleep.

Or you would have embarrassed me.

She's alive and well.

You've got nothing to worry about.

Let's not disturb her.

Come on.

Let me put the flowers in a vase first.

Alright...

Daddy, I asked you to look for the muscle guy. How's it going?

Still looking.

Daddy, look at me.

You are lying.

People in the Walled City live by the sword.

You can't tell who's good or who's bad.

He's a good man. He saved me.

That lecher's bad.

I told you the lecher's dead.

The muscle guy should be fine.

I think you should send him bodyguards.

He saved me, your daughter.

Only a great reward can show my true worth.

Alright... I'll put Fu on that.

Daddy, I am serious.

Or I'll go to the Walled City to look for him myself.

I'm serious too.

I've spent so much money to get the Sister out.

You can't go to the Walled City again.

Alright, you are the most generous.

What happened? Why are you crying?

Read it yourself.

You know what you've done.

Ghost wedding?

Everyone is invited?

Duen Ying-fung, it must have felt good to be a hero.

It's not about being a hero.

I just couldn't stay on the sidelines.

And put our family and brethren in jeopardy as a result

Besides Siu-chi, you have done my two kids in as well.

It's not been easy for me to raise them up.

Please, calm down.

Maybe we can figure a way out.

The way is to hand the girl over.

But look at him.

He can't care less about us.

He's willing to trade our lives for the girl's.

Come on...

I am sorry. As his uncle, I've failed to bring him up properly.

What's done is done.

We should think about what to do.

He gave us the invitation.

If we go, we are walking into his trap.

He won't leave us alone even if we don't go.

We are doomed either way. Let's just take on Fung Chun-mei!

Right, if the whole school join hands, we will stand a chance

Did you hear that?

Because of you, the brothers will have to risk their lives.

Calm down...

It's my own doing.

Give me some time to figure a way out.

I won't let anything happen to any of you.

I was told soft drinks are soothing.

It may work with headaches too.

Thank you.

What are you going to do with the ghost wedding?

How did you know?

Fung Chun-mei took the invitation card over in style.

Many people saw that.

He has demanded that we hand over Yam-yam but not the Boxer.

I think he has the Boxer.

Don't let the soft drink go flat.

Drink it.

I paid the Thai Hag a bomb for it.

Don't waste it. Come on.

I don't have the mood for it.

Then let me have it.

Sorry, I didn't mean it.

Sorry...

Don't get mad.

Just relax. Unwind.

Or your head can't function.

Now I suspect you were doing it on purpose.

Whatever. Just enjoy the service.

Try my expertise.

Foamy?

It's for you.

How can it not be foamy?

To save money, I usually dilute the shampoo for customers.

Foamy... Foamy...

It's done.

Let me get you water for the rinse.

That Mrs But is clueless now that Yam-yam is not around.

She should have the water bucket filled.

How can I do business without water?

It's your first time here since I moved out.

Did you kill Fung Ha-moon?

You came here just to ask me this question?

His wound could only be your doing.

You can fool others but not me.

I killed him. So what?

Another innocent man will become your fall guy again.

So you came here for that guy.

I can't stop you from turning bad.

You at least have to stand tall.

You shouldn't let someone else bear the brunt for you.

Do you mean to let Boxer die in your stead?

If I had not killed Fung Ha-moon,

Fung Ha-moon would have killed him.

So you see nothing wrong in your doing.

In the Walled City, the winner decides what's right and what's wrong.

Now you regret teaching me kung fu,

that I bit off more than I could chew.

I'm asking you for the last time.

Do you mean to let Boxer die?

I have no time to feel sorry for the weak.

What now?

We have not asked for an old exotic dancer.

Moon, do you like this gown?

Once it's done, I'll make one for your wife

You can't die yet.

You are the guest of honour at Moon's wedding.

I like your fighting spirit.

You can make it to the wedding.

I did ask the guests to come early.

Still, you came days too early.

I can't stand sissy guys.

I have the urge to beat the heck out of you

Watch out!

Thai Hag...

Playing the hero hardly gives you a good end.

This is a small price to pay for cutting my face.

Talk like a man!

You two are invited to the wedding.

But I don't think you two can make it.

Run when the chance comes up.

Thai Hag...

You sissy...

Thai hag, run...

This way...

Brother Chun-mei...

Get the rascal and the witch back!

Yes!

The muscle guy has escaped.

We two and Siu-chi will make a team,

you three will make a team.

You all know your positions, right?

Yes.

Should we tell the Junior Master about it?

Whether he agrees to it

it won't affect our determination.

Boxer?

How did you get away?

Thai Hag got me out.

She lured the pursuers away from me.

They are after her.

Let's go get her! Come on!

Wait!

What?

Come out...

You've locked yourself in.

There's no way out for you.

Even when injured, you are too strong for my men.

You have the advantage of cover too.

I don't think we can fight our way in.

But then, I don't mean to fight our way in.

Oh no!

Goodbye.

What's going on?

Not a moment too soon.

The guy who killed Moon is in there.

Avenge him with me.

Avenge him with your own hands.

You don't have to do it.

You should stay behind to enjoy it.

I ask you for the last time.

Do you mean to let Boxer die?

Lung Shing-fu, are you sticking a finger in?

No. I am a key player.

I am the one that killed your brother.

Come again?

Come to me for revenge!

Burn the mother and son to death!

Ma is inside?

Charge...

Ma...

Brother Chun-mei, On Lok House is on fire!

How come?

Moon is still inside.

Brother Chun-mei, we need you to go back and take charge,

or On Lok House will be burnt to the ground

I'll make you two pay for it!

Ma...

The fire could be the Boxer's doing.

Let's go there to help out.

Where are we going?

Aren't we going to the Boxer?

Nothing is more important than treating your wounds.

Rascal.

Give way...

Fool! Don't just stand here!

Fight the fire!

We have no water.

We've sent men to get water from the standpipe.

None of themis back still.

Bring it on!

Water is there behind them.

Charge!

Brother Chun-mei, you still want to carry on?

The fire will reach your brother very soon.

What are you talking about?

I've done the math for you.

Fire broke out in On Lok House twenty minutes ago.

I am sure it has reached the second floor.

Your brother is on the top floor.

It's dangerous!

I am here to work a way out for you.

Either it's cremation for your brother,

or you agree to let it all go.

Then you'll have water for the fire.

What about that? The advantage is yours.

Turn and look.

It's my turn to ask you.

Give me water and you'll have an easy death.

Yes or no?

If I am going to die, I'll bring On Lok House down with me.

Then the gambling den and the opium den.

Let the fire take us all down!

Or Man-cheung, take care of them.

Then you don't have to pay for Lung Shing-fu killing my brother.

Get it straight.

Your brother tried to rape my daughter.

I got rid of your black sheep for you.

Opium Kam, you can pay 10% less for the stuff you sell in my joints.

It's your own mess.

You put my joint in jeopardy.

You are still so calculating.

Now I too have a score to settle with you.

You guys can haggle, but make it quick.

Can you smell your brother's bottom burning

Call back our men at the entrance.

Yes, Brother Chun-mei.

This is the end of our feud.

Give me water.

Give them a hand. Yes...

Morning...

Excuse me...

Uncle, morning.

This is where you spent the night?

The Association guys may go back on their word.

So you know they can't be trusted.

Do you mean to spend your life here?

Uncle, I am not alone.

Senior... Junior Master...

We have buns... freshly steamed.

The residents gave them to us as thanks.

Uncle, have a bun.

A bun is not much.

However, it means the residents are no longer indifferent.

Number means strength.

I am not fighting alone.

We brothers are of one mind.

Safeguarding the standpipe is just the start.

I don't know how it will turn out.

I do know that this place is changing.

Junior Master, we are here to relieve Fung.

Yes, we are safeguarding the standpipe,

like Shifu guarding the Walled City before.

Junior Master, join us.

Junior Master, enjoy your bun.

Try it...

Uncle, you are the man we respect the most.

We want you to be proud of us.

You are grownups.

I can't stop you.

Junior Master...

Done.

Give your arm some time to heal.

Give yourself a break.

I live from hand to mouth.

Let me stay behind for a few days to help out.

Kitten, if you won't go back,

you can stay as long as you like.

I'll pass you my business skills.

You will find out that this store can support the two of us.

Mom, if I stay here,

I will turn back to the Kitten who does chores.

If I go back,

I will again be the Lung Shing-fu who can protect you with his fists.

I can protect myself.

What about last time?

I am being nice.

Don't make me throw you out.

I'll protect you in my own way.

Keep being mad at me.

Thai Hag, I am here to thank you for getting me out.

Enjoy this sticky rice pudding.

Your protege is here. I have to go.

No... I should be the one who leaves.

Don't listen to him.

You are not my protege.

You have a shifu already.

No, I have no shifu.

Didn't you use Baji's Leaning Mount when trying to get me out that day?

I was making random moves.

What mount again?

Keep denying it.

I don't buy it.

The pudding is still hot.

Enjoy it hot.

I am wanted elsewhere. Bye.

A fight... run...

With such poor kung fu skills of yours, stop playing a busybody.

My Ma can't save you every time.

Your ma and I are alive and well.

Let me warn you, don't drag her down with you.

If you care about her,

you should stay by her side.

The Walled City has its own rules.

It's not as simple as you think.

It's up to you to go by the rules or break the rules.

How naive.

We have to try before we know, don't we?

We didn't know holding the standpipe is holding the Association by its throat.

It's just the start.

We are rewriting the rules of the Walled City.

The standpipe can't be guarded by passion alone.

You find my kung fu not good enough.

Then join us.

Your ma will be overjoyed.

You will greatly boost our strength.

Don't you forget, I am Or Man-cheung's man.

I just know you are good in nature.

Or you wouldn't have saved the girl from Fung Ha-moon.

So you did know it's me.

Why didn't you tell Fung Chun-mei about it?

I would have taken that scum out myself.

You just beat me to it.

You? With what?

I can't fight like you do now.

but that may not be the case tomorrow.

We'll see.

Hello, guys. Boxer...

Tired?

When is the next shift?

We have just relieved Fung.

Leave the next shift to me.

Spare yourself.

We brothers can take turns.

You have suffered injuries. Don't tire yourself.

I am fine. I heal fast.

I'll be fully recovered in a few days.

Good! Then you can leave the Walled City.

You'll never be safe with the Association still around.

I'm not afraid. I want to stay by you guys

We can't accept your kindness.

You are an outsider after all. It really is not your business.

You have done too much already.

Just leave it to us. You can leave now.

Take some rest.

Isn't this the bag I lost? How come...

You are back!

Your clothes back into your bag.

Check if there's anything missing.

You insisted on leaving.

You would have left long ago had it not for Yam-yam's incident.

Now that it's over,

you can leave as planned.

Come on...

Still...

Who will watch your shop at night when I am gone?

The shop didn't miss you during your rescue mission, hiding or captivity.

You are right.

Don't you forget, I owe you tons of money.

I shouldn't leave before I have paid up.

You said you would send me payment by post.

I trust you.

Or I can ask Yam-yam to collect it for me.

I have yet to say goodbye to But Tak-liu and Mrs But.

They are busy playing with Siu-sun.

They don't have the time for you.

They sent their regards.

Come on...

So I am going... Just go.

I really am going... Bye.

Will you visit me when you go out of the Walled City?

If I have the time.

You don't know where I live.

Write me.

Hey...

Tooth Man?

I call this loyalty.

We've been through Hell together.

Take care.

Aren't you here to ask me to stay?

Tiu Lan said you were leaving.

Take care.

Right...

Take care.

Are you this obedient?

So will you hand me your money if I demand that?

Tiu Lan and Tooth Man are so bad in their acting.

Only you would fall for it.

Boxer, I wanted to say you are simple,

but actually, you are...

Just dumb!

So you guys were playing a prank on me.

Not just them.

Siu-chi...

Here's the standpipe roster.

Read it.

Well?

My name is on it.

Chi, you and your brothers took me for a ride.

The credit goes to Tiu Lan.

She has spared no effort in preparing this surprise for you.

Boxer, you aren't an adept or a good help.

However, you have spared no effort for us.

This surprise means my recognition of it.

This sure is a great...

Surprise!

Do you like it or not?

Of course I do.

Weren't you worried I would just leave?

Could you bear to leave us?

Would you buy it if I said I could?

Alright, I hereby declare,

from today on,

Boxer is a member of the Walled City.

Bravo...

One of us in the Walled City!

Yeah...

One of us...

Great!

He's gone mad!

You?

No, they're upstairs playing Siu-sun...

It's OK.

Playing Siu-sun...

Playing?

Yes!

Do it like this...

Do this...

Do like this... this is very important.

Yes, just like that, OK!
