Opium Kam is dead.

Mr. Or and I will take over his business.

Mr. Or...

He didn't tell me he's bought me a pair of shoes.

Try them.

You and Tooth Man still have that match, right?

If you beat him,

tell him to go out with me.

Not only will I be able to hit you,

I will also beat you.

Noon already?

Step aside...

You're awake!

Boss!

Thank goodness I made it.

Ready...

I will beat you.

Don't forget, "anything goes" if I win.

Come on!

3... 2... 1... begin!

Awesome!

Those were my shoes.

What does Tooth Man see in her?

Use your elbow... kick... hit him!

Better make it quick.

Why did Duen Ying-fung leave an opening in the mid-range?

I've waited not in vain.

Your Baji is strong enough for me to take you seriously.

Really? I'm just warming up.

Good!

Bravo, Tooth Man...

Tooth Man, you'd better win.

My bet is on you

Go for it, Tooth Man...

Don't be biased. They're both chairmen of the Welfare Association.

Go for it, Boxer!

If you lose, you'll sleep out on the patio.

She's only cheering for me because of "anything goes".

Scaling Tiger is impressive.

You almost hit me, but you lack strength.

He forced Chiu Yeung to use Scaling Tiger.

Don't get cocky! I didn't use full force.

Is this your strongest move?

Or you have other killer moves?

I don't believe I can't beat you.

Chiu Yeung!

Stop it!

I promised someone I must win.

I will not concede, not until the very end.

Come on!

That's enough!

As members of the Welfare Association,

no one should get hurt over this.

Stop it!

You can't beat him.

Practise more and bide your chance.

I'm sorry, "anything goes" just went away.

We're closed. Come back tomorrow.

Uncle.

You're no longer part of this family.

You told me Chiu Meng-shan killed Father with Scaling Tiger 15 years ago.

Did you see him? You're sure about it?

Why do you ask? You don't believe me?

I finally saw the Chiu style Scaling Tiger.

So what?

If I can block Scaling Tiger coming from the front.

There's no way Father couldn't.

Why are you bringing that up now?

I think there's more to it.

I don't think Master Chiu killed Father.

You're defending your enemy?

I just think there's more to it than we know

I said everything I had to say 15 years go.

What is this? An interrogation?

Not only did you show me no respect,

you're letting your Father down as well.

Precisely because I'm his son,

I will not let him die under mysterious circumstances.

It's OK if you won't tell me.

I'll get to the truth in my own way.

What are you doing here?

Seeking blessings from the gods can be a solution.

(Memorial tablet for Chiu Ha)

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

Who is Chiu Ha?

She was a little girl who died before she was 10 years old.

Everyone said her father was a murderer.

Her parents died early

and this innocent little girl was spurned and abused by all.

She went to live alone in the mountains

but was soon killed in a forest fire.

A little boy met this little girl just once.

Everyone accused the little girl's father of killing the little boy's father.

When the little boy grew up,

he regretted not trying harder to protect the poor little girl.

The only thing he could do was to set up a memorial tablet for her.

He would come here to offer incense

and pray that she would find eternal peace.

I didn't expect you to be a sentimentalist

and let a story reduce you to tears.

If I'm not mistaken, you're that little boy?

Chiu Ha is not related to you

but you have been very considerate.

You're a good man.

After today, I won't be just offering incense.

There's a lot more I can do for her.

Such as?

I think there's more to my Father's death.

I want to clear Chiu Ha's father's name.

I will make it up to her.

I'm sure she'll be very grateful, wherever she is.

Duen Ying-fung is benevolent and chivalrous, worthy of being his father's son

But someone else in the family is the exact opposite.

Duen Zit-keung insisted you killed Master Duen,

telling such an obvious lie proves he had something to hide.

Don't worry! The truth will be revealed soon.

Tiu Lan...

Mr. Lee is coming tonight. Fix my hair.

She's not responding.

She's daydreaming.

No time to lose! Move!

Put this on, my face is dry! Yes!

I can put on as much rouge as I like.

Let me help you.

What are you all doing here?

What is it?

Come here... they stole your make-up. You're not mad?

Come here... What?

If a man is in love with you

but you're not interested,

what can you do?

Someone is after you?

No, a client asked me and I don't know what to say.

Simple! Be with someone else and make him back off.

If he won't leave me alone,

I'd eat garlic and let the stench get rid of him.

Don't listen to them.

They're talking about the customers.

Your guy is an ordinary fellow, not a patron

What about you? Other than But Tak-liu,

was there another man who was in love with you,

but you were not interested?

There was someone who came to see me all the time before I was married.

But luckily he was just nice to me.

He didn't actually profess his love.

So you played dumb.

Play dumb?

Embroidered shoes, I know you're good to me.

But no matter how good you are, I can't try you on.

Sorry! I'll pretend I don't know you exist.

You're a pretty pair of embroidered shoes.

Too bad your owner doesn't want you.

Don't say it.

I already regret knowing what I know.

All I can do is help her get the shoes she wants.

But as much as I tried, I failed to win the match.

I'm sorry I failed you, embroidered shoes.

I also let Tiu Lan down.

Like you, I'd continue hiding in the tree.

I only hope she'll be happy under the tree.

(I've been through dark foggy nights)

(trying to look for what I've lost)

(Happiness just seems blurred by the dust)

(The closer I get, the harder to see)

(I've been so down and lost that I once decided)

(I'd rather be on my own...)

Mr. Or, we can go.

Wait, Kitten!

Did you check around for anyone suspicious?

We did. Don't worry!

I ran the casinos for over 10 years.

This place came alive and

it brought me fame and fortune,

but it almost took my life,

and got my daughter worried sick.

I'd like to bet one more hand.

Honey, shake it up!

2-2-3... 7, small!

Daddy, it's cold out here. Let's go in.

I want to watch the sunset.

Audrey...

When I was in the hospital,

I thought a lot about us.

Over the past 10 years, I wanted to make more money,

so you could live better.

That's why I had to lie

as if I were wearing a mask.

As long as you truly love me,

regardless of what you have done, you're still the best Daddy.

They say people in vice will get retribution

Since I was ambushed and almost got killed,

I began to believe there is a god somewhere.

I'm not afraid of my own retribution,

I just don't want you in harm's way.

Mr. Or, it's my duty to protect you both.

You can't do it forever.

I have decided to take Audrey's advice

and wash my hands on triad business and retire.

You mean it, Daddy?

Mr. Or, are you sure?

Fu, I know what you're worried about.

I have people working for me.

I'm asking them to lower their weapons.

I have been undecided all along

until that last hand of dice.

I won my entire fortune with my ears,

but now Heaven is taking them back.

I think it's time to retire.

That's wonderful, Daddy!

I'll have plenty of time for you.

From now on, we must level with each other

and quit telling lies like we did before.

You'd better not call me a nag.

You'd better not call me a nag.

I'm sorry, everyone.

Brother Chun-mei, sorry I'm late.

What's the occasion for this treat?

More happy things are coming.

Brother Chun-mei, why don't you ask your men to join us?

I have good news for everyone.

Mr. Or, we're all here. Can't wait to hear your good news.

Fu! Yes, Mr. Or!

A red packet for everyone...

Everyone gets the same.

Brother Chun-mei, tell your men not to worry.

This is happy money.

Who's getting married? You or your daughter?

Neither. Not so soon.

I'm giving out red packets to the elders and the boys

to thank them for taking care of me.

The announcement I want to make

is that as of today, I'm retired.

I won't be running casinos.

I'll turn my joints into teahouses.

Are you kidding?

You've been in vice for decades,

now you want to run a proper business?

It doesn't make sense!

This tiger uses his hands to fight, not carry a teapot.

You intend to open a night club with restaurant

and tread onto my turf.

I wouldn't do that!

It's a genuine teahouse.

If I make money from it,

I'd still make contributions to the elders.

But there's something else I need to discuss with you.

Since the late chairman passed on,

the position has been vacant.

If I run a teahouse,

it's inappropriate for me to fill the position.

I'd like to recommend Brother Chun-mei.

What do you think?

Sounds reasonable. It's either you or him.

I respect Mr. Or's decision to retire because he has made enough money.

Unfortunately, I'm not so lucky.

I still have to slave for a living.

For the Fellow Association to grow and prosper,

I don't mind taking this thankless job as the chairman.

That's wonderful! Congratulations!

You'll call the shots from now on.

Take a look at this!

I know... Mr. Chan gave that to Woo Ni a few months ago.

Woo Ni, since when have you become so generous?

You wouldn't let me have one even after I begged for it.

Do you want it now? One for each of you.

Great!

You don't have enough!

Come on!

What is it, Tooth Man?

Sit down and eat breakfast!

No, I think I have a stiff neck.

Let me give you a massage!

You'll be good as new! Come...

I can do that too.

Let me help you, I'm pretty good.

I'll massage your arms...

Let me try this...

This sausage is really good!

What a shame you don't want to eat it.

Boxer, don't be so greedy!

Give it back...

Tiu Lan gives a mean massage.

You should help Tooth Man!

No, I slept on my arms last night.

They're rather numb. I can't help him.

Save me some!

There you are!

What's going on?

He finished the canned sausages!

Leave him alone.

Our teahouse opens tomorrow.

I'll make it up to you with steamed rice rolls.

That would be great!

(Tak Li Teahouse)

Tak Li Teahouse?

Yes, Daddy has retired.

He won't be running a casino,

he's opening a teahouse.

Are you serious?

Yes! I can't talk right now.

I'll save a big table for you tomorrow at noon. Don't be late.

Or Tak-li seems happy about her father's retirement.

I'm surprised he's so obliging.

I don't think he's really retired.

Are you done? We should head back.

No. I have somewhere else to go.

Where?

It's nearby.

But I'm not giving out fliers, you are.

Come on!

Ma!

Or Man-cheung has no use for you now that he's running a teahouse.

I thought you'd leave him.

Why are you still working for him?

His name is Kitten, but he's loyal like a puppy.

He's grateful to the hand that feeds him.

Ma, do you want me to work for him or not?

Kitten won't be fighting anymore.

You won't have to worry.

You should be happy.

I single-handedly brought about Daddy's retirement and this happy ending.

Don't be corny and thank me for it.

Just drop by the teahouse more often.

Ma, would you like to come tomorrow?

I don't like Chinese tea.

But you must have the Thai chili sauce for my steamed rice rolls.

(Attn: Mr. Duen Zit-keung)

(You will pay with your blood for what you did 15 years ago)

Who's this prankster?

Why are you drinking by your lonesome?

Is this your first time here?

I can't sleep.

You want a good night's sleep?

Let me help you.

Lie down!

I know all about the problems outside these doors.

But you can forget them once you're inside.

We have fine wine, women and the happiness you want.

You're still here?

Where is the woman who was with me last night?

Which one? We have all sorts of women.

The owner of this shawl.

I don't know.

Bravo!

Shrimp dumplings? Yes!

I've saved you a table. Thank you!

Hurry up and sit down!

You're here as well? Yes!

We're friends, order anything you like.

Thank you, Miss All-shhy!

Great!

What do you recommend?

Shrimp dumplings are good.

Kitten is now the manager.

He's in charge of the teahouse.

Very awe-inspiring!

Brother Fu!

I'll do it!

Chicken with glutinous rice.

BBQ pork buns.

Fried dough.

Sponge cake.

They're all on me.

Pork dumplings with quail eggs.

A pot of Pu'erh and Thai black tea.

Where's my Thai chili sauce?

I'll serve it with the steamed rice rolls.

Impressive!

Ma!

What would you like Brother Chun-mei?

I can order some of our signature dishes.

Whatever you decide.

Enjoy the food.

This cup is so dirty it makes me sick.

The bowl as well.

Mr. Fung, our dishes are brand new.

How can they be dirty?

Are you calling my men troublemakers?

No. I think they need to see a doctor for their eyes.

I'll handle this.

Help me clean that up.

Yes, Brother Fu.

Don't bother! Pick that up yourself.

There... it's neat and tidy.

Brother Chun-mei, let me change your plates.

I want you to rinse them.

Your hands must be dirty from picking things up from the floor.

I'll help you wash them.

Are you alright?

They run a proper business, don't go too far.

I'm teaching him how to run a business.

It's none of your business.

The neighbours' business is Welfare Association business.

Fung Chun-mei, would you like us to protect you too?

You have no right to call me by my name!

In that case, you'd better change it.

Take it easy... today is the grand opening of my teahouse.

On my account, please don't argue.

Please sit down...

Wai! Yes?

Give them brand new dishes

and get Brother Chun-mei a fresh pot of tea.

Yes, Mr. Or!

Brother Chun-mei!

Daddy!

Ma, please sit down!

Brother Fu!

I'm sorry, Brother Chun-mei!

Have some tea.

Now that's more like it.

Brother Fu, how's your hand?

I'm fine.

Fung Chun-mei is bullying us!

It's not fair.

You're the boxing champ for 3 years in a row

What are you doing now?

Picking up garbage, cleaning the cups and pouring tea.

That sissy has no right to do this to you.

Why are you so angry? I'm not.

We all follow your lead.

I work for Mr. Or only because I worship you.

You're not afraid of anything.

I can't stand watching them play you for a fool.

Mr. Or may want to retire,

why should we become waiters and paper tigers?

There's no point staying.

That's right!

Why don't we quit? I'll follow you anywhere.

A man with your talents should be in great demand.

If you start your own outfit,

I'm sure many will follow you.

We're waiting for you.

That's right!

If you want to quit, I won't stop you.

Brother Fu...

I'll do whatever Mr. Or does.

I made up my mind a long time ago.

I'm sorry. I have decided to quit.

Thanks for teaching me so much.

I'll see you around.

Can't wait for your comeback.

Bean sprouts soup, please!

You're in luck. We have no business in the rain.

I would have closed if you'd come a little later.

You're closing?

I was going to because of the rain.

But it turned out to be scattered showers.

I'll set up the tables and chairs for you.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, Miss! We're closed.

We're just waiting for you.

I've heated up the soup you want for take-out.

What a coincidence! I bought bean sprouts soup too.

Let me have your flask

and you can have mine.

Alright.

That's not fair. Yours is cold.

Now they're both warm.

After Or Man-cheung retired,

some of his men started working for Fung Chun-mei.

You think he's serious about retiring?

At least Fung Chun-mei thinks so.

He's getting very comfortable as the Chairman of the Fellow Association

and plans to open a casino inside the night club.

He's taking over Or Man-cheung's turf.

He'll become more powerful.

You must be careful working for him.

I know what I'm doing.

Well? Are you alright?

Maybe because I was in the rain.

Do you have a fever?

How long do you plan on following me?

This is the second time.

Why is the chairman of the Welfare Association,

following a girl at this late hour?

What if I screamed for help and say you took liberties with me?

What were you doing with Tooth Man at the Welfare Association at this hour?

And why were you spying on us?

I couldn't sleep and went there to practise

I was interested in Baji and asked Duen Ying-fung to teach me.

I'm not kidding, Tooth Man is a gentleman

and also my buddy.

He's not someone you have a fling with.

It's best that you stay away from him.

You don't want us to carry on?

For his own good or for your landlady?

I knew you're in love with her!

I don't know what you're talking about.

I was right. I might as well tell you,

a silly and passive guy will never win a girl's heart. It's true.

Don't lecture me.

I think you should support us instead.

When the landlady is dumped,

you'll get your chance with her.

You wish! I'm not despicable like you.

Give it up!

He's such a fool.

(Yaumatei Fruit Market)

Want to see showgirls?

Queue up over here.

Want to come? Queue up, seats are going fast

Is this where you queue up for the Kowloon Walled City?

Yes, but this bus only takes you to see showgirls.

This bus is for my customers only.

I'm your customer.

You want to see showgirls?

Why not?

You're old and you're a woman.

You can't be interested in that.

What's wrong with a woman watching showgirls?

Men watch other men play soccer.

Watching showgirls has nothing to do with gender and age.

All you need is money, understand?

This way... just follow me

or you'll get lost.

Come on, it's up ahead.

Granny, where are you going?

It's dangerous inside the City, follow me.

Are the girls pretty?

What about their figure?

The best! Come on...

Where is the Welfare Association?

It's not easy to get there.

At the end of this street, turn right, go straight and then turn left.

We now run a casino inside, check it out.

Casino?

Big...

Miss Fa Man, business is great.

We have grannies coming in.

What is Grandaunt Miu doing here?

This is not as grand as the place I used to work for.

Excuse me... give me a seat.

Place your bets...

Big!

Big! Pay up...

That's a good start, big!

I'll follow you.

Come on... big!

This granny is quite lucky!

More bets...

Excuse me...

What will it be?

3 in a row... big!

That makes sense. Big!

Me too!

No more bets!

Big...

You're a jinx, you old witch.

You should talk, you're the jinx.

Get out if you don't know how to play!

I don't know?

I'll bet with everything I own!

I'll keep betting on Big.

I pick Small.

I'll trust you one more time.

Come on... Big!

Small! I won! Pay up...

Small... Big...

Big... Small...

Small... Big... Small!

I ran out...

No more bets!

Thank you! That was mine!

That was my $5, what are you doing?

What $5?

I bet on triple.

It came from my pocket!

I made that bet! Get lost!

If you take it, I'll chop off your hand.

Step aside...

Miss Fa Man, I placed that bet on a triple.

That $5 bill came from the granny's pocket.

That's right, it's mine!

What proof do you have?

You're on my turf.

What I saw is proof enough.

I'll teach you a lesson as a warning to others.

How dare you ask for proof!

Sorry... Miss Fa Man, I'm sorry.

I was wrong. It won't happen again.

I don't want any bloodshed in Brother Chun-mei's new joint.

Just beat him up.

Right... come on! No...

Move it! No...

Carry on, everyone! Have a good time.

Wait up, young lady!

What is it?

You look familiar! I know you!

Here we go...

Is this your longest... strongest move?

I don't believe I can't beat you.

Again!

Don't be biased.

They're both chairmen of the Association.

Go for it, Boxer! You...

My money...

Shut up!

If you lose, you sleep on...

Don't be biased.

They're both chairmen of the Association.

Tooth Man, no, should be Boxer...
