Cough up the IOUs.

Not in your life!

What have I done to you?

15 years ago, the 3 of you tried to kill a Baji expert

by the name of Chiu Meng-shan.

I'm his daughter.

You will pay for it with your blood.

Where are you going?

I must go. I'm a traitor of an Assassin Order.

Our lives are forever joined.

I will die with you.

I'm sorry!

Hey, But Tak-liu! Hey!

You were at the fruit market,

any word on Tiu Lan?

No. Though Hong Kong is not that big,

it's big when you're looking for someone.

Don't say that!

I'm sure there's a way to find Tiu Lan.

As long as you all work harder,

find more customers for the perm shop,

Tiu Lan will be pleased to see a new shop when she comes back.

We'll do that right now.

I'm counting on you!

Don't worry!

I have to get to work.

Go for it!

Hey, I'm off!

Sticky rice pudding! Thank you!

Have you seen my girlfriend?

No, I'll be sure to tell you if I have.

Thank you! You're welcome!

Drink some milk tea!

I'll bring my girlfriend when I find her.

Thank you for taking these upstairs.

You can repay me by helping me find my girlfriend.

Not a problem!

But Tak-liu, hand me the orders.

You've been delivering water all morning.

Eat something before you kill yourself.

Give them to me.

Sticky rice pudding is not enough.

But it's free.

You're now working 2 jobs.

The money you make won't pay for the missing person ads you place.

Tiu Lan probably hasn't even seen it.

She will. I'm off to work!

Hey, Boxer...

Let him...

He'll start thinking if he slows down.

He's doing it for Tiu Lan.

It's better for him to sweat it off,

than wallow in misery.

Tiu Lan, 20-30 years old, 5 foot 3 inches tall,

big eyes, straight nose and small mouth.

She's ferocious when she's not smiling,

but innocent when she does.

Contact Boxer of the Kowloon Walled City Welfare Association.

(House 1 Projection Room)

Put newspapers on the desk and don't drop food on it.

Sure.

Hurry up, the matinee will start soon!

Go to Hell!

Miss! Uncle Cheong!

Are you Tak?

Yes, who are you?

It's Uncle Cheong!

(Yam-yam's birthday)

Yam-yam, don't be unhappy.

Tiu Lan will sleep late if she doesn't get up for work.

I brought you cake to celebrate your birthday.

Tiu Lan chipped in as well.

Let's wait for her so we can eat it together

Tiu Lan doesn't want anyone to see her in broad daylight.

She'll be here when it's dark.

Let's wait a bit longer.

Oh... it's past your birthday!

It's OK. It's still your birthday before dawn.

Let's wait.

Hey... What is it?

Take off the jacket. Our mistress is coming.

Again? Hurry!

You're so careless! Are you hurt?

Miss! Uncle Cheong!

Are you Tak?

Yes, who are you?

It's Uncle Cheong! Uncle Cheong?

What's wrong with your eyes?

I remember you. Don't you remember me?

I've been gone so long, it takes me a while to remember...

(We can't leave, nor can we stay so how can we talk?)

(...stay together and grow old together)

(We've been through...)

How did you find me?

So you knew I was looking for you.

Then why did you avoid me?

I won't let you leave me again.

You're holding me so tight, I can't push you away.

You mean...

you're not leaving me?

You tracked me down even though I've been hiding in here.

That means I can't shake you off.

I don't want you to waste your money in posting those ads.

(I took the wrong turn and professed my love)

(You didn't get the signal)

(That dream was just too far out...)

I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye

and you had to worry about me.

I bought this pot of chicken congee all the way from Shatin,

I hope you'll enjoy it.

Let's eat this while it's hot!

Dig in... Come on...

Tiu Lan, at least you still have a heart.

You had no idea I worked 2 jobs while you were gone.

You'd better give me a double pay and a year-end bonus.

We work at the perm shop by day and dance by night.

We did our share!

Thank you for watching my shop

and cleaning my room.

We didn't do it.

The Boxer cleaned your room every day.

The congee is really good!

I heard your kung fu is better than Boxer.

Can you teach me and be my shifu?

I'll teach you when I have time.

Everyone has a past.

Think no more of it.

I put in the money upfront.

You'd better sort out the accounts and pay me back soon.

You don't really miss me.

You expect me to come back and pick up the pieces.

Just kidding!

You gave us quite a scare!

You're still up, Grandaunt?

Why did you take out my clothes?

I never had a room to myself before.

From now on, this room is mine.

Where am I going to sleep?

You must take responsibility of your actions.

I didn't do anything.

You didn't?

You kept her room neat and tidy the whole time she was away.

Now that she's back, you should sleep in it.

But it's her room. I was cleaning it for her.

It's nothing to do with me.

Of course it has.

You were beside yourself when she was gone.

I was worried you'd never get married.

Now that she's back, it's time you gave me a great grandchild.

Keep it down!

Boxer, can you come over here?

Oh no!

What is it?

Just get over here!

See? She's just as horny!

But I'm not up for it.

What kind of a man are you? Get going!

I'm not a man, I'm a boy!

Get over there and don't come back!

What?

Come in!

Why did you bring your pillow and sheets?

She...

Never mind!

Why did you lock the door?

Sit down!

Come closer!

Get over here!

I'm your girlfriend, right? Yes!

Now that we're together,

I have something very personal to show you.

But...

No one has ever seen it before.

You're the first.

Why did you look away?

It's not a good idea.

Look over here!

A tattoo?

This is the mark of the Order.

Any assassin sent by the Order

will have this wolf tattoo.

This is something personal you wanted to show me?

Yes! What else?

Nothing!

You rat!

Hey!

What were you thinking?

Nothing!

You have dirty thoughts!

Hey... you're an assassin, you're likely to kill someone.

This is serious business and your mind is in the gutter.

Do I look like someone so casual?

Hey... that hurts!

Killing you would have been too easy on you!

Ouch...

Let go! No!

Let go!

I'm about to get dirty! I only want you.

No, let go of me!

You can't fight me. You know why?

Because you're a scoundrel.

No!

It means the Welfare Association

is not afraid of the Assassin Order.

If they send assassins after you,

I'll be capable of protecting you.

Grandaunt kicked me out of my room.

What do you want?

Your bed is big and soft.

Sleeping alone is a waste of...

(I've been through dark foggy nights)

(trying to look for what I've lost)

(Happiness just seemed blurred by the dust)

Dream on!

(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)

(I took the wrong turn and professed my love)

(You didn't get the signal)

(That dream is too far out in the dark...)

Duen Zit-keung, how does it feel to drag out your ignoble existence?

Your days are numbered... you have 3 days.

What are you doing here?

I came to visit you.

Why did you come back?

You're dead. Why did you come back?

It wasn't me. I did it for the good of the Duen style Baji.

What are you talking about? Are you alright?

You're dead! Dead... go away!

I'll wait on him.

Fa Man, I really missed you.

I was worried the night club would close down.

I couldn't sleep at night, I'm going crazy!

Why don't you stay for the night?

I'll take care of you.

I usually don't do this.

Zit-keung... can I call you Zit-keung?

What happened?

Zit-keung! Hurry!

Where are we going? What's going on?

Why can't I take a bath?

We must get away.

I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what happened.

A ghost is back to take revenge.

Ghost? What ghost?

Never mind that.

I know nothing and you won't tell me anything.

How can you expect me to go away with you?

If I'm your woman, you must tell me everything.

I didn't mean it...

There was a fire 15 years ago,

I meant to help put it out.

When I arrived, I saw my brother fighting with a masked man.

No one has ever beaten my brother before.

The mask man looked scary.

My brother was seriously injured,

but he was still alive.

I didn't know what to do

and the masked man caught me.

No... don't kill me!

I want you to forget what you saw.

Tell everyone Chiu Meng-shan killed Duen Tung-tin.

Or else, I will kill you and your family,

and destroy the Duen style Baji, you hear?

I waited in the dark

for Chiu Meng-shan to show up.

Then my brother went crazy and attacked him.

Master Duen, it's me!

Why are you fighting?

Chiu Meng-shan didn't even touch my brother,

but I accused him of killing him.

Tin... You... you killed my brother!

I went against my conscience to protect Baji

I had to do it.

I didn't avenge my brother,

I know he must be angry with me.

He's haunting me because he won't forgive me.

If the ghost is your brother,

what about the scapegoat Chiu Meng-shan?

If Chiu Meng-shan didn't break out of jail,

the cops couldn't have charged him.

His escape provoked the crowd.

Though we don't know if the ghost is your brother or Chiu Meng-shan,

there's no running from a ghost.

I don't know what to do.

I know a Taoist monk,

who can perform a ritual and exorcise the ghost.

Does it work?

Trust me!

I trust you!

So it was that coward Duen Zit-keung

who framed you and murdered you.

I will make him pay with his blood

to appease your souls.

Who are you?

Why do you want to kill Duen Zit-keung?

What do you want with me and Tooth Man?

What else are you hiding from us?

You won't tell me?

Then I'll tell Tooth Man about your plan.

You know Chiu style Baji?

It's me, Chiu Ha.

I'm your sister, Chiu Ha!

No... Tooth Man said you were dead!

You died in the fire.

Let's shake on it, I will come back.

Don't go anywhere. Be here or be square!

You said you'd come back.

You told me not to leave...

Be here or be square!

It's you... it's really you, Sis!

Yes!

It's really you!

Father and Mother are behind this tree.

I burned their bodies and buried them here.

I told you to wait by the cannon.

Where were you? What happened?

I went back to the stone house,

and I watched them kill Mother and Father.

Then I remembered black blood was oozing out of Father's wounds.

He was poisoned before he came home.

Someone set him up.

Since then, my only goal in life

was to get at the truth.

What have you found out?

Father was not a fugitive.

Inside the Police prison,

he was ambushed by 3 assassins,

Fung Chun-mei, Opium Kam and Or Man-cheung.

The Fellow Association wanted to take over the Walled City,

and wanted Baji out of the way.

They framed Father for the murder of Master Duen

and then killed Father to silence him.

Duen Zit-keung was the one who made the accusation.

Father, Mother, I'm so sorry!

Why didn't I believe in my own father?

I was wrong about you, I'm sorry!

You have always been my hero, Father!

I'm so sorry!

Your nose still runs when you cry, just like before.

You were such a tomboy back then,

who'd expect you to turn out like this.

If you recognised me, why didn't you tell me?

Because I'm not who I used to be anymore.

To make a living and to find the truth,

I cast aside my pride and had no shame.

I once fought a dog for food

and was beaten half to death for stealing food.

In the end, I even used my body,

to find out from a cop what happened inside that prison.

Then I befriended Fung Chun-mei

and returned to the City to go after the trio.

I discovered by accident Duen Zit-keung was also involved.

This scumbag is infatuated with me.

The thought of it makes me want to puke!

You intend to kill him?

Not yet.

I need him to find out who killed Father and Master Duen.

When I know the truth,

I will not let him live.

He won't be the first.

After Opium Kam, Fung Chun-mei, and Or Man-cheung,

Duen Zit-keung will be next.

Let's not forget the real mastermind.

They all have to die!

I'm so sorry I didn't look for you in Hong Kong.

You had to bear the pain alone for all these years.

Father, Mother, I won't let Ha do this alone again.

Or Man-cheung and the masked man must pay with their blood.

The night Master Duen died,

he tore the masked man's shirt.

Duen Zit-keung said he saw a wolf tattoo on his chest.

Remember, this is the mark of the Order.

It's the mark of the Assassin Order.

The wolf tattoo is their mark?

All assassins have the same mark.

How did you know about the Order?

Who told you? This is a lead to find the real murderer.

I overheard a conversation in the market.

Don't know if it's true.

You must think hard.

I'll proceed in this direction.

Before we're ready, don't alert them.

No one must know we're related

and your real name is Chiu Yeung.

Grandaunt Miu has been blaming herself for not finding you.

She was heart-broken when she thought you were dead.

We still can't tell her?

We must repay her kindness to our family.

Now this is a fancy restaurant.

It's so different from the Walled City.

Even Tak Li Teahouse is not as grand.

Let's sit over here.

They must be very expensive.

Pu'erh tea! Right up!

Here, have some tea.

Madam Fa!

Granny Miu, you're out and about too?

Yes!

Hello, Boxer!

Fancy running into you!

You finished tea already?

No, I came to pick up mooncakes.

Please sit down for some tea.

You interceded on my behalf last time

and gave me medicated oil.

I have yet to thank you,

Let us treat you, sit down!

Us? Or just you?

If Boxer doesn't mind...

He wouldn't. Please sit down...

Here...

Thanks.

Mid-autumn is coming up.

Let me give you this box of mooncakes.

I can't, it must be expensive.

We probably have something to gain.

Maybe not. I have a huge appetite.

It's OK, eat as much as you like.

Let's eat!

Pan fried ai cake and deep fried taro dumplings

Here!

You like these too?

I'm a Hakka. You too?

My mother was Hakka.

She learned from her elders

and she made excellent Hakka food.

We have such great affinity!

In that case, make her your godchild.

If Boxer is your grandnephew,

why don't I become your grandniece?

You don't mind?

I'd love to have someone to call family.

Have some tea, Grandaunt!

Good girl... I'll give you a red packet later.

Hot water! Fruit!

Have some, Thai Hag! Thanks.

Stop running around. You may fall over!

Here comes the star...

Bravo!

When did I become the star?

I mean the mooncakes!

I want that...

Father, let's cut this up!

You must give the right answer before you can eat it.

Folks, please gather around here...

I've been in the City for years.

This is the happiest night of my life.

We have been bullied for years.

Our hard earned money was extorted by the Fellow Association.

But ever since Boxer showed up,

I've learnt one thing from him.

We don't have to live like that.

He set up the Welfare Association with the Tooth Man

and gradually changed our lives.

Thanks to these unsung heroes who watch over us

and help us fight against evil.

I would like to thank them,

my pals who have saved me and my family,

Boxer and Tooth Man!

Please give them a big hand!

We should not get all the credit.

Everyone made their contribution.

But this is how we can protect the City.

The Welfare Association belongs to all of us.

I can promise you, for as long as the Welfare Association is around,

the City will remain in peace.

Bravo...

I'll make a toast with mooncakes!

Bravo...

Ma, I've never seen the City so pretty.

Neither have I.

Let's check out the lantern riddles.

"A lady from the U.K.", guess a word.

Or Tak-li.

Don't make wild guesses.

Pretty.

You're saying Miss Or is pretty?

No! She's mean and ugly.

A lady from the U.K. is a girl from the west.

West on top, girl in the bottom, that's the word "want".

You're all brawn and no brains!

Don't forget we have work to do.

Star fruit?

Is everything alright?

I want to ask you something.

I want to know more about your past.

Hey, Boxer!

Boss, let's solve some lantern riddles.

Come on... Let's go...

Dates before mates, both of you?

Hey... Traitor!

Finally... no one will bother us.

Look, someone left this pretty lantern behind.

It's so pretty... Am I being childish?

No, it's really pretty.

You said you wanted to know about my past?

There was no such thing as celebrating a festival within the Order.

I have no family, no friends, not even a name.

We have a code name based on the sexagenary cycle.

Ever since I left the order,

today is the first Mid-autumn

I can spend with someone I love.

Anything else you want to know?

No. I just want us to sit quietly and play with the lantern.

They both have the tattoo.

They're assassins from the Order?

You won't get away.

Who are you?

Why did you come here to kill someone?

Kap Sun?

Sun Mei!

Kap Sun!

No!

Get it? That's it!

Yes, kick him like that, understand?

No...

Here... grab him, then boom, boom, boom.

Over here... follow through and do this...

See that? And punch!
