I work for Fung Chun-mei

so that I'll get a chance to kill him.

You know kung fu?

There's no guessing what will happen if I use it.

You're the owner of a casino.

Let's have a bet.

If you win, they have to die.

If you lose, give them the IOUs.

Tooth Man!

Well? Nothing.

Can't find her.

We'll look again.

Fa Man, what are you doing here?

I dropped a new earring,

I'm looking all over for it.

Did you find it?

No, maybe I dropped it outside.

Women! Get a new pair if you lose one.

You must get enough rest

and prepare for tomorrow.

I'm counting on you.

Don't worry! When have I ever let you down?

I know I can always count on you.

Those clowns from the Welfare Association will be dead for sure.

Well?

Fung Chun-mei usually keeps his prisoners in the basement.

I've looked, but she's not there.

Where is Tiu Lan?

You two should worry about yourselves.

If anything should go wrong,

you must keep an eye on the Boxer.

I won't let anything happen to you.

Maybe they've already found Tiu Lan.

Fa Man!

What?

Can you tell me your real name?

I will... after we win tomorrow.

Boxer!

Well?

She's nowhere in the City.

Where is Tiu Lan?

You both look tired.

You should get enough rest for the bet.

The water delivery team will keep looking.

You'd better mean it.

Boxer, you don't look too good.

Our lives are at stake. Don't get me killed.

Bite your tongue! Nothing must happen to you

Exactly! That would be such a waste.

You know what will happen if we lose to Fung Chun-mei.

I heard he prefers someone dark and muscular.

That's right, dark and muscular!

He's talking about you.

I'm not his type.

You have firm muscles.

So do you!

You too! So does Tooth Man.

Not as firm as yours.

There's something up there.

Embroidered shoes. I tossed them up there.

Better get them down!

If I survive tomorrow, I'm giving them to someone.

They're so high. How can you get them down?

What do you think?

Not again!

Don't run away!

It's too high!

Come on, higher!

It's high enough, hurry up!

I'm too short, come on!

Higher... to the right!

Hey... don't move! Steady...

Has the game started?

Almost.

You want to go?

I'm worried about my Ma.

Fu, it hasn't been easy for me to retire.

I really don't want to get involved.

If you make a move, you'll get me involved.

I understand.

But you killed his brother after all.

You may leave him alone, but he may not leave you alone.

Do as you see fit.

Fu!

Miss Audrey!

Are you going to watch the game?

I... you want to go?

Don't ask me! Of course I want to go.

I want to see if I can help.

You can fight, you definitely want to go.

Let's go.

Hey... put me down, Lung Shing-fu!

It's too dangerous, you shouldn't go.

Put me down...

Get in, Honey!

Don't go where people end up in a fight.

Have afternoon tea with me instead.

Lung Shing-fu, you're not going?

No!

Fu's not going. Just have tea with me.

Alright...

Drive!

You're late!

You can be late, but you still have to die.

Spare us your queer talk, Sissy!

You should be dead along with the others.

We're here. How do want to do this?

Simple! The IOUs are randomly divided into 10 stacks.

If you win, you take one stack.

If you lose, one of you will punch the other

Unless they win, they can't take too many punches.

But they don't have to hit too hard.

Fung Chun-mei won't go easy on them.

Cut the crap, what are we playing?

High - Low. Fa Man...

You use these to pick a card.

Where it lands, the card on top will be your chosen card.

Whoever has the higher card wins.

You're the guest. You first.

Duen Ying-fung picked the Queen of Hearts.

Brother Chun-mei chose the King of Spades.

Good! You owe me one punch.

Come on, Tooth Man!

Hurry up!

Come on... See that?

That's not how I wanted it.

Let me show you.

He caught Tiu Lan!

She has been beaten up!

Oh dear!

Fung Chun-mei, you're a scumbag!

You owe me a punch, let me show you.

That's how you do it.

Should I show you again?

No! Come on, Tooth Man!

Happy now?

Duen Ying-fung's Baji is impressive.

Next round.

I'll do it.

10 of Clubs... 5 of Diamonds.

You have some luck after all. Here...

Mr. Yeung, please give them out.

Don't worry! I'll take care of this.

Go for it! Go for it!

I can take a few for you. Just tell me!

I can manage.

I'll go first.

9 of Diamonds... 6 of Spades.

Want me to show you again?

My turn. Pack your punch!

Hang in there!

Stop it!

We won't be beaten!

Come on, punch me!

You need a break, Tooth Man!

Why did he hit so hard?

What is he doing?

He's afraid Tooth Man can't take it.

Get him a chair!

Right... here!

Can you manage?

Don't worry! You can't kill me that easily.

Hang in there!

Come on, hang in there...

Brilliant! What a show!

It'll be better when you're dead.

Talk is cheap. If I win again,

he'll take Duen Ying-fung's place to punch you.

Do you have a problem there?

Cut the crap, Sissy! What a nag!

Go on!

Boxer!

Boxer will die. Let me do it.

You'll only die with him!

Sit back down!

Can you still take it?

Let's up the ante and decide once and for all.

If I lose, tell your thug to stab me.

If I win, cough up all the IOUs.

Want to be a hero? Suit yourself!

Fa Man, shuffle the deck carefully.

Don't let our hero accuse us of cheating.

Hold it! I want his card.

You can't do that!

Don't think you can trick me.

Your high card is now mine.

That's ridiculous!

I will take this card because she's a mole.

You helped them steal the IOUs earlier

and arranged for this game

so that you could con me. Think I'm stupid?

There must be some misunderstanding.

Show me the card to prove your innocence.

You're wrong, Brother Chun-mei!

How is that possible?

You're smart, you knew I'd help them.

So I set the trap and let you swap the cards

I turned the tables on you.

That's how things work in this world.

Everyone here is a witness.

Cough up the IOUs.

Not in your life!

Take them outside!

Right! Let's go...

What's going on?

Where are you going?

Getting out of harm's way!

Boxer and the Tooth Man risked their lives to get the IOUs.

How can you run off now?

Then why don't you fight them?

Who wants to give them a hand?

I'll go with you, Mr. Yeung!

Honey, get the girls out!

Boxer!

Tiu Lan!

You're such a fool!

I won't let anything happen to you!

Let go, Boxer!

No, I won't let anything happen to you.

I won't either!

You knew your fate as a traitor!

Fung!

Thank you!

Thank me after we've killed them.

Let's go!

Ma!

Want another cup?

Daddy, let's go!

But I'm not finished.

Then hurry up!

You want to know about your friends?

I sent someone to keep an eye on things.

He'll report to me as soon as he knows.

You have word? Well?

Your friends... won!

Really?

Fung Chun-mei ran away with his tail between his legs.

Happy now?

What are we waiting for? Let's go!

I'm not finished with my tea.

Finish that at home! Bill, please!

What's your name? Chan Sheung-ying.

Chan Sheung-ying? Yes!

Where are they?

They're both injured.

The doctor is making a house call.

Wasn't it just a bet? What happened?

Chan Sheung-ying! Yes!

Boxer and Tooth Man had to punch each other.

Ouch...

Sorry! When they spat out blood,

Tiu Lan sprang into action

and then we won!

What are you talking about?

Honey, you're not making any sense!

At first, Fung Chun-mei and Boxer had a bet.

They had to punch each other if they lost a round.

It was gut wrenching to watch them.

Luckily, Boxer won the last round.

It was so brilliant... Fung Chun-mei thought he won,

but it turned out Fa Man was a mole

and he lost in the end.

Then Tiu Lan, Thai Hag and Lung Shing-fu all got into the fight.

Kitten? He lied about not going.

Thai Hag was there.

Fu is a filial son, of course he'd show up.

Right, Thai Hag?

Don't ask me, I didn't invite him.

Where is he?

I told him to dress his wounds first,

but he didn't want to stick around.

Kitten is hurt? Is he alright?

Of course he is!

I'd better go check on him.

Or Tak-li cares about your son.

No, she treats him like hired help.

You'd better hope so.

If she becomes your daughter-in-law,

you'll get sick even if you don't eat durian

Let me do that!

You're out of your mind!

Don't sneak up on me.

I might hit you if I didn't know it was you.

Miss Audrey!

I hate it when people lie to me.

I can't let you take any risks.

Whose idea was it? Yours or Daddy's?

Mr. Or gave the order.

Don't lie to me or abandon me again.

Very well.

Where else does it hurt?

I can do this myself.

You should appreciate what I'm doing.

But it's too tight.

Sorry!

Does it hurt?

No.

I'll do it again.

How is he, Doctor?

The stab wounds are quite deep and inflamed.

He's also running a fever.

Please help him, Doctor!

I'm doing the best I can.

He'll be fine if the fever breaks;

otherwise, if the fever persists

his life will be in danger.

What can we do?

Don't worry! I won't let anything happen to him.

I'll get him a towel.

Let me walk you out, Doctor!

Sure!

Tiu Lan, stay and take care of Boxer.

I'll walk the Doctor out on my way out.

You want to look for Fa Man?

She hasn't been seen after the bet.

I'm worried about what Fung Chun-mei might do to her.

Don't worry, we'll be here. Go!

That's right!

Thank you!

Come, Doctor!

Ha-moon! What happened?

Kerosene?

Traitor!

Looking for this?

Which is faster? You or the fire?

No...

You thought nobody knew you hid the money in the grave?

I want you to lose your money and your brother's body!

Why? What have I done to you?

You know Baji?

15 years ago inside the Police jail,

the 3 of you tried to kill a Baji expert

by the name of Chiu Meng-shan.

I'm his daughter.

You killed Opium Kam?

You worked for me so you could take revenge?

You wrecked my family.

You will pay for it with your blood.

Father, two killers down, one more to go!

There you are! I've been looking for you.

How is the Boxer?

He's still in a coma because of the inflammation of his wounds.

You took care of that?

Think no more of the past.

Everything will be over.

He's really burning up!

Will he...

No, watch your mouth!

Boxer will pull through.

Exactly! Granny Miu, he's a big guy,

I'm sure he'll make it.

It's late, you should get some rest.

I'll keep an eye on the Boxer.

Can you manage?

I don't want anyone else to keel over.

I'll be needing your help.

Granny Miu, get some rest. I'll watch him.

You must let me know, you hear me

I will.

Thank you, Tiu Lan.

Your hands are freezing fold!

Hang in there, Boxer!

You won all the IOUs, you can't give up now.

The Welfare Association needs you.

Come on...

Hello?

I came for an amulet!

Hello?

Tin Hau, I pray to you with all my heart,

please watch over Boxer.

Please make sure he's safe.

Hello? Anyone there?

Open up!

Tiu Lan, where are you?

Tiu Lan, open the door!

Tiu Lan!

Where am I?

I want to get back to the Walled City!

Back to the Walled City.

I need to get back!

I must go back!

Please make sure the Boxer is safe.

If this is a test, let me take his place.

He changed the Walled City.

A good man should not die in vain.

Tin Hau, please bring him home.

I beg of you... take him home.

Make sure he's safe.

Wake up, Boxer! I'm taking you back to the City.

I've been running for a long time and ended up here.

But you have me now.

I can't...

You said you were better than the Tooth Man.

How can you let a flesh wound beat you?

You said you want to beat the Tooth Man for "anything goes".

If you come back, anything goes for me.

(We can't leave or stay, so how can we talk?)

(The one worth staying for chooses to run away)

I'll take you back to the City.

Get up... Hang in there, come on!

We're back!

(I have been through dark foggy nights)

(tryng to look for what I've lost)

(Happiness just seemed blurred by the dust)

(The closer I got, the harder to see)

(I was so down and lost that I once decided...)

Kuen, you're awake!

Boxer, you're awake!

You'll be fine!

Boxer is awake!

Come in, quick!

Hurry! He's awake!

Told you! He's too strong to be dead!

You should talk, you were so worried you couldn't sleep last night.

Who would want him to die?

I don't think anyone had any sleep.

Where's Tiu Lan?

She was out in the rain all night,

and got you this amulet from the Tin Hau Temple.

It's rather efficacious!

His fever broke as soon as she put it on him.

Really?

I'll go get her.

No, if she's asleep...

Tiu Lan is really a nice girl.

You must repay her, understand?

Oh dear, Tiu Lan is gone.

Her closet is empty.

She left without saying goodbye.

Where are the embroidered shoes?

You didn't want them when they were given to you.

Now that they're gone, you want them back.

It's just not meant to be.

Embroidered shoes, I don't know where you are,

but you're worth $2.5.

Please make sure the Boxer is safe.

Tiu Lan!

You're up! Good, you should head back!

Where are you going?

That's none of your business. Don't think...

You were obviously looking for these!

And you want me back.

Now they're both in front of you, how can you leave?

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

I heard how you got this amulet.

I heard what you said to me beside my bed.

I heard every word.

I'm right here. You can't leave me!

Wake up and come back!

You said you were better than the Tooth Man.

How can you let a flesh wound beat you?

You said you want to beat Tooth Man for "anything goes".

If you come back, anything goes for me.

You promised me.

You said anything goes if I wake up.

I don't want you to leave.

I want you to stay here with me inside the City.

I never said that.

You were dreaming.

You don't even know who I am,

how can you love me?

Let me tell you, since I was a kid,

the only thing I knew how to do was to kill someone.

I'm an assassin.

Now you know why it was wrong of you to love me?

I must go.

Remember you asked me

what was wrong with you?

The answer is everything.

You're not only an assassin,

you're money-hungry, unruly, bossy, unreasonable, rude...

there's really nothing good about you.

I don't know why I'm in love with you.

But I can't help it, because you're Tiu Lan

That's why I love you.

I love everything about you.

Whether you're the landlady,

the boss, a member of the Welfare Association,

even as an assassin.

I love everything about you.

You don't understand. I have to leave.

Why? You promised me.

I'm a traitor of an assassin order.

Everyone saw me fight that day.

They'll send someone after me.

I don't want anyone to get hurt.

I can protect you and everyone else in the City.

You can't fight the Order.

We're doomed.

Listen to me.

Whether you stay or go,

I'll follow you like a shadow.

Our lives are forever joined.

I'll be there for you no matter what lies ahead.

I will die with you.

(You pick it up, can't put it behind, so how can you talk about it?)

(When your hands are available, can you then manage?)

(Learn to smile and embrace it again...)

The shoes look really nice on you.

(I'd dance alone in the dark)

(Destiny is so unpredictable)

(Who'd expect us to meet at the right moment?)

(I've been through dark foggy nights)

(trying to look for what I've lost)

(Happiness just seemed blurred by the dust)

(The closer I got, the harder to see)

(I was so down and lost that I once decided)

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

(Then I took the wrong path and fell for you when you didn't even know)

(That dream is just too far out in the dark for us to find paradise...)

I'm sorry!...

I don't deserve to wear them.

(I never knew you were the best)

(I had to close my eyes to see...)

Open wide... if not, do this.

Turn... and pound!

Here... turn and block!

Then kick...

Not using this hand, do this...

Let's take a look!

Go... cut!

Good take!
