Original subtitles

How did you find me?

Why did you avoid me?

I won't let you leave me again.

Why did you come back?

I came to visit you.

I'm your sister, Chiu Ha!

It's really you, Sis!

Who are you?

Why did you come here to kill someone?

Kap Sun?

I'm sorry!

Eat mine! Thank you!

Next time make it quicker.

Or you won't get much food.

I'm still scared. I can't do it.

You have to do it, might as well make it quick.

You can't change the outcome.

The target has to die if you want to eat.

Eat more.

Nothing matters more than staying alive.

I'm No. 8 Sun Mei, what's your number?

No. 41, Kap Sun.

(Sang Kee beef brisket)

Is the beef brisket good?

You bet! Would you like some?

Sure!

Wait!

The facial contour may fit,

but the target has a mole on his forehead and is a lefty.

When will the target show up?

Relax! Anyone can tell you're an assassin.

I will, offal guy.

Do your job, offal girl.

At first I was afraid the target wouldn't show up.

Now I don't want him to show up.

The bill, please!

Sure! Thank you!

(Come home)

Home? What home?

Wouldn't it be great if this was real?

All operations will end. You must learn to detach yourself.

I'm not as good as you.

Cheers, Boss!

Good girl!

Have a drink, Brother Kei! Sure!

Hold it! Yes!

Cheers...

Drink up!

I'm glad you're alright.

What did the doctor say?

Heart condition. I'm not supposed to do strenuous exercise.

Did you tell anyone else?

Why didn't you tell me?

Do you realise if we fail,

even if you don't have an attack,

the Order will kill you.

Sorry, I didn't mean to get you in trouble.

I'm just worried no one can save you if I'm not around.

I think it's because I have killed so many people,

this is my retribution.

Sun Mei, we'd do anything to stay alive.

Do not submit to your fate.

Leave the Order. Go as far away as you can.

The Order is so resourceful, where can I go?

I'll go with you. I can protect you.

No, don't make them come after you because of me.

Remember the time we spent at the offal stand?

How can I forget?

I finally realised the joy of being ordinary.

I can't hide it anymore.

Like you, I relish that feeling.

We have no childhood, no freedom and no dignity.

But we can still have a future.

I'll protect you wherever you go.

No one can keep us apart.

Come in!

He's still out? What did the doctor say?

The doctor dressed his wound.

The inflammation is giving him a fever.

He has the wolf tattoo.

Yes, he's also an assassin.

We're named according to the sexagenary cycle.

When an assassin is killed in action, another one will take his or her place.

I'm No. 8 Sun Mei, he's No. 41 Kap Sun.

We grew up together.

He's the only one in the Order who has been kind to me.

But he killed 2 men with the wolf tattoo.

Maybe there's a strife within the Order.

I don't know, I've been away for too long.

Can you tell me more about the Order?

Because this is very important to me.

What is it?

Chor Au-kuen is not my real name.

More importantly, I'm not an outsider.

I lived inside the City before I was 10.

My real name is Chiu Yeung.

My Father Chiu Meng-shan and Tooth Man's father Duen Tung-tin

were both Baji masters.

My Father was accused of killing Master Duen,

and the neighbours killed my parents.

I found out recently

someone framed my Father.

And someone else killed Master Duen.

The real killer also had a wolf tattoo.

The Order was involved?

Were you already in the Order 15 years ago?

Do you know if any assassins came into the City?

Do you know who killed Tooth Man's father?

The Order is very secretive.

Nobody was in contact with anyone else

or knew what someone else has done.

You don't know any of the assassins?

I knew Kap Sun only because we were trained together and assigned to the same job.

I only know the person in charge of liaison, who was someone called Mr. Dei Tzi.

Think again! This is very important.

I was very young 15 years ago.

Back then, I only served as a messenger or decoy.

I only knew about my assignment

and no other details of the operation.

Even when I was assigned a hit,

I never knew the identity of the target or the reason for the hit.

What about Kap Sun? Does he know?

I can ask him.

But...

Don't worry! I know how to do this

and won't give you away.

Does Tooth Man know about this?

I felt so guilty I didn't know how to bring it up.

Besides, this is rather complicated.

I prefer to tell him after I find out more.

(Tak Li Teahouse)

Cheers...

Come on...

Drink up...

I have to pee!

You need any help, Mr. Or?

No need...

Be careful!

There...

What happened?

First Opium Kam, then Fung Chun-mei.

I suppose I'm next.

You think I'm drunk?

You finally took the bait.

But I'm surprised you chose Mid-autumn to make your move!

Chiu style Baji? The last of the Chius?

Fung Chun-mei's grappling moves

and Opium Kam's spiritual boxing

couldn't do anything to you.

You must think this old man is easy to kill, right?

The truth is, I'm the best among the trio.

A bowl of bean sprouts soup.

Here you go!

Thank you!

Mid-autumn is for reunions.

Why are you here by yourself?

Where's your friend?

I saw her briefly

but she quickly disappeared.

I don't know when I'll see her again.

A fair lady is worth waiting for.

You're a patient man, you'll see her again.

I'll save her a bowl of soup.

No more salt. She doesn't like it salty.

No problem! You're very attentive.

This cub is destined to follow me.

You haven't told me the answer.

What kind of animal has 3 eyes and 5 noses?

A monster!

You made that up!

It wasn't my riddle.

Brother Fu, Mr. Or wants to see you.

What's wrong? I'm coming with you.

You must be tired. You need rest.

Mr. Or!

Someone tried to kill me when I left Tak Li Teahouse.

Do you know who it was?

Someone in a mask

and knows the City well.

I may have retired,

but people may still want me dead in the name of justice.

I don't think it's the Welfare Association.

I want you to go to the City with me tomorrow.

Sure!

Don't tell Audrey. I don't want her to worry

I won't.

Come out!

Why did you kill someone from the Order?

We're sent here to kill you.

You're still with the Order?

No one must know. I need to buy time.

If the Order finds out they're dead,

they'll know it's me.

You won't have time to run away if they send someone else.

You killed them because of me?

If you still care about me,

why didn't you show up that day?

I thought you wanted to run away with me.

Now you're betraying the Order because of me.

I don't know what to believe!

Believe it or not, I was there that night.

We were supposed to meet at the pier.

I saw you from afar.

Kap Sun, what's your hurry?

Mr. Dei Tzi?

You finally realised I'm not here alone.

You were too happy too soon.

You lost your basic instincts as an assassin

You want a fight?

I put someone by the pier as well.

It's your choice.

Mr. Tin Kon will not tolerate traitors.

7 in the bushes, 5 by the pier, 12 total.

Judging from their hiding technique,

their ability and pay are way below that of me and Sun Mei.

They probably don't know about Sun Mei's heart condition.

Though Sun Mei and I are outnumbered,

you probably can't kill us yet.

If one of us should die, the other will take revenge

and fight the Order no matter what!

We all know how much time, effort and money go into training an assassin.

If we fight, you'll earn yourself an enemy

and lose 15 assassins, including you.

What are you suggesting?

Sun Mei goes, I stay.

The Order will only lose one assassin

in exchange for my undying allegiance for life.

How noble of you!

You won't understand. But it's a fair deal.

Mr. Tin Kon will require a deposit

to show your good faith.

Is this good enough?

Yes, you'll be rewarded. Let's go.

You gave up so much for me,

yet I was angry with you for lying to me. I'm sorry!

They knew you wanted to leave,

they must have given you a hard time.

Remember what I told you before?

Nothing matters more...

...than staying alive.

Even if I never see you again,

as long as you're alive,

everything is worth it.

Besides, I can see you now.

(Lan Fa Perm Shop)

Morning... You're up early!

Where's Tiu Lan?

She was gone when I woke up.

Mrs. But, when I got up to pee last night,

I saw someone in Tiu Lan's room.

Who was it?

Who was it?

Not so loud. Don't let Kuen hear you.

Judging from your reaction, that was a man.

Am I right?

Who was it? Tell us!

It's definitely not Boxer.

A man and a woman in the room alone...

Tiu Lan cheated on Boxer?

We better find out!

Boxer...

We have something to ask you.

Who was in Tiu Lan's room last night?

What's their relationship?

Her ex-boyfriend? Exactly!

Are you his match? Exactly!

I don't care who he is,

I only care about Tiu Lan.

Where did she go early in the morning?

You suppose she's not coming back?

Why are you squatting?

Don't you have work to do?

We're very interested in your new friend.

That's right...

Chan Kit-lun is my childhood friend.

He came to the City to visit me.

I'll clean out the store room.

He'll be staying a while.

Hello everyone. I'll be imposing on you.

You're most welcome. No trouble at all!

That's right!

Tiu Lan is the boss.

Lun, you can call me Boxer.

Hello, Boxer! Hello!

Boxer!

You're by yourself? Where's Kap Sun?

I told him to go freshen up.

This room is clean,

but it may get cold at night.

Make sure you give him a quilt.

I'm sorry you had to worry about me all morning.

Kap Sun came with the other assassins to kill me.

Then why did he kill them?

To protect me. He buried the bodies this morning.

The Order is after you?

If no one reports back, they'll send someone else very soon.

What are you going to do?

Stay here and be a sitting duck?

You have to avenge your Father, I won't leave you.

But the Order is after Kap Sun because of you.

Can you ignore that?

Come here, sit down!

Don't panic! We don't have to decide now.

Tooth Man and I are here.

We will protect you and Kap Sun.

Thank you.

Why is the landlady so polite today?

She even apologised! I'm not used to that.

Boxer!

Watch out!

Miss Or, watch where you're going!

Thanks! I need your advice on something.

What is it?

Daddy was attacked last night.

How is he? Did he catch who did it?

He's fine. The masked killer got away.

Daddy thinks it's someone from inside the City.

He suspects the Welfare Association?

No. He didn't say.

He thinks it's an enemy he made when he was in the vice business.

I know it wasn't you.

That's why I need your help to find out who's behind this.

If you don't mind me saying this,

considering your Father's evildoings,

his enemies may not be baddies.

You should ask him.

I know he has crossed a lot of people.

I'm willing to make it up to them.

At least give us a chance to apologise.

Boxer, I don't want Daddy to get hurt.

He's the only family I have left.

Alright... I'll try.

Did you tell anyone else about this?

No! Daddy only told Kitten.

I dare not tell anyone else.

You're the only one I trust inside the City.

Madam Fa, Mr. Or is here.

Tell him to come back, we're not open.

I already told him,

but he barged inside.

He's in the main hall and refuses to leave until he sees you.

Get back to work.

You need a drink in broad daylight, Mr. Or?

You're being sarcastic!

Are you upset about my intrusion?

A bit. I'd like to sleep in if I can.

Precisely because I didn't want to interrupt your business at night.

I came with a business proposition.

I wish to hire your erotic dancers

to perform at Tak Li Teahouse.

Here's the deposit.

I dare say our Mei Moon Dance Troupe is great value for money.

Tomorrow is too soon. How about Saturday?

I'll send you my best dancers

and Tak Li Teahouse will be packed!

Very well! We have a deal.

I'm sorry, I'm really tired.

You can sit here till we open. Enjoy!

You missed me already?

I want a sample of the dancers.

He's the manager of the teahouse

and he's worried about business.

The dancers are not in.

We'd like to see you perform.

Won't you give us the pleasure?

In that case, please bear with me.

Brilliant! You're worthy of your reputation.

I'm sure you'll bring in the crowd for my teahouse.

Thank you, Mr. Or!

Are you satisfied, Fu?

Very, Mr. Or.

Good! I'll let you get back to your nap.

We'll take our leave now.

Please see yourselves out.

Sis! Yeung!

Are you alright?

Here... sit down! Where are you hurt?

Here... I must have busted the wound.

A new dressing should fix it.

Let me stop the bleeding first.

Better now? Thank you.

You'd better go

before anyone gets suspicious.

I can't leave you with a wound like that!

We agreed we'd do this together.

Why didn't you tell me you're going after Or Man-cheung?

We're family, Father and Mother's revenge is also my responsibility.

Don't act like it's none of my business.

Or Tak-li is your friend.

Can you really kill her father?

I don't have any baggage.

You have suffered enough for over 10 years.

I already feel awful about that.

Please don't treat me like an outsider.

Precisely because you're not an outsider.

You're the heir to the Chiu family.

I don't want you to get your hands dirty.

Your job is to promote the Chiu style Baji

and take Father's place as the hero of the City.

It's my job to protect you as your brother.

It doesn't matter who does it,

but we must do it together

and watch out for each other, understand?

Doing it alone is too dangerous.

I was in over my head.

Or Man-cheung was harder to deal with than I have expected.

He was better than Opium Kam and Fung Chun-mei.

He was just here with Lung Shing-fu.

I think he's getting suspicious.

Lung Shing-fu, what brings you here?

You attacked Mr. Or! You were awesome!

In order not to arouse Mr. Or's suspicion,

you didn't avoid the twists despite your injury to your back.

But you must have busted your wound

and I saw you before you were able to cover it up with your scarf.

I don't know why you attacked Mr. Or.

Come with me and explain yourself.

What if I refuse?

Watch out!

Chor Au-kuen, this is between Fa Man and Mr. Or,

and doesn't involve the Welfare Association.

Your kung fu is the same?

Fa Man, go!

Leave this to us.

Be careful!

I have no quarrels with you. Get out of my way.

Save your breath.

If you want her, you must beat us.

You should know Boxer is not what he used to be.

You can't beat the two of us.

I don't know about that.

But you're not my target.

Next time, Fa Man won't be so lucky.

Thank goodness you arrived just in time.

Chiu Yeung.

If you're Chiu Yeung, Fa Man is Chiu Ha.

I'm sorry! My uncle's cowardice left your family in shame for years.

It's not your fault.

I have always wondered how Father died.

But I never once suspected my uncle.

I was too negligent.

You still want to find the truth after all these years,

and didn't blame it on us.

I should be grateful to you.

Talk about mistake, mine was worse.

I didn't believe in my own father,

and wanted to give up my name and Baji.

You didn't mean for it to happen.

Now we know... the first thing we must do

is find Father's killer and who framed Master Chiu.

Your uncle said the killer had a wolf tattoo on his chest,

the same one Tiu Lan has.

They work for the same assassin order?

Can Tiu Lan or Lun help us find the killer?

Tiu Lan said the Order is secretive.

She doesn't know anyone in the Order

or what they have done.

Besides, they were both very young back then

and didn't know what happened.

There's something I must do before we catch the killer.

My uncle has been hiding the truth behind Father's death for all these years.

It's time he cleared your family's name.

Sorry, we're closed.

Duen Ying-fung, maybe you don't need to make a living,

but don't stop me from making mine.

Who are you? Fung or Tin?

I'm asking you again, how did Father die?

You're Fung... I already told you.

Why do you keep asking?

Tell me again.

Just like before, Chiu Meng-shan killed him.

After Father died, I respected you more than anyone else.

You raised me and have been my role model.

Why do you still have to lie?

I did not!

Why did you lie to me?

A man with a wolf tattoo killed Father!

How did you know?

Your Father told you in a dream?

His spirit is haunting you?

If you're afraid of ghosts and spirits,

why persist in doing something against your conscience?

Why did you corner Master Chiu?

You weren't there. You had no idea what happened.

He cracked the wall with his punch.

His body was hard as iron.

You never had the experience of almost getting killed by someone.

You'll never know that feeling.

Is that why you watched him kill Father?

The descendants of the Chiu family are back in the City.

If you clear Master Chiu's name,

Father and I will forgive you.

No, I can't do that.

The killer will come after me.

He killed your brother, my father.

Do you know what you're saying?

I'll die if I speak up. I don't want to die...

Don't be afraid, Uncle.

We can do this together. Don't be afraid!

I don't want to get killed, I won't...

Uncle!

I'm sorry, Mr. Or! I failed to bring Fa Man.

You seldom come back empty handed.

Chor Au-kuen and Duen Ying-fung intervened.

I chose not to engage them.

They're not being busybodies.

You think the Welfare Association did it?

Not really.

I noticed something rather odd.

Fa Ma knows Baji,

same style as Chor Au-kuen's.

You really think so?

Their Baji is different from Duen Ying-fung's,

more unyielding and powerful.

Maybe they have the same style.

Chiu style Baji!

Maybe that's the answer.

Daddy!

What is it, Honey?

You seem upset, so I'm giving you a hug.

I'm upset?

Did you find your attacker?

You knew about that?

I overheard.

I found the attacker.

Who was it?

Fa Man from the night club.

Fa Man? You have no quarrels with her.

Why would she attack you?

Because of what I did to her parents.

I don't understand. What happened?

Come!

Something happened over 10 years ago

and I never told you about it.

I was a hired thug for the Fellow Association.

I went inside the Kowloon City Police prison

with Fung Chun-mei and Opium Kam

to kill a prisoner charged with murder.

He was a kung fu expert

and he got away in the end.

I found out he went back to the City to look for his family.

But the family of the man he murdered thought he broke out of prison

and eventually hounded him and his wife to death.

I had a job to do and I did it

and the couple is dead.

You mean Fa Man is their daughter,

and she's after you for revenge?

It's very likely Chor Au-kuen is their son.

Boxer? Are you sure?

Their Baji is the same as their father's.

I'm sure I'm right about this.

Though I didn't actually kill them,

I had a hand in the matter.

Even though I'm retired,

a debt is still a debt.

Daddy!

I only wish to make peace with the brother and sister.

Their father is dead because of me,

but I don't want you to lose your father.

I won't! You'll be alright.

Promise me nothing will happen to you.

Listen... if I'm gone,

you must take good care of yourself.

Killing you won't bring back their parents.

I don't know Fa Man that well,

but I'm sure Boxer will listen to me.

Let's sit down and talk about this.

If we apologise sincerely,

maybe they'll bury the hatchet.

You think so?

Trust me! As long as we're sincere.

I'm sure they'll accept our apology.

Good girl!

But...

Fa Man, how nice of you to visit me.

Tiu Lan, Fa Man can't stay at the night club

Can she stay here for a few days?

What's wrong with the night club?

We'll be closed for a while.

You don't have to come to work.

I'll pay for her room and board.

I can give up the store room.

No, she can sleep in my bed.

I'll sleep in the living room.

Suit yourself!

I'll take your things inside.

Boxer, what's wrong with you and Tooth Man?

Did something happen?

Yes, it's a long story. I'll tell you later.

Who could that be?

Miss All-shhy?

Boxer! Good, Fa Man, you're here too.

What are you doing?

I want to apologize to you and Fa Man on behalf of Daddy.

I'm sorry he got your parents killed.

Miss All-shhy, can you explain that?

We don't understand what you're saying.

You knew?

You're the orphans Chiu Ha and Chiu Yeung

of the Chiu style Baji from years ago.

Sorry, I bumped into you.

Watch out!

Really...

That was good, very natural.

Let's eat, come on...

Kick... don't wait or you'll be too slow.

No... boom, rush over

then use the knife.

Do like this...

OK!

Swing...

OK!

I was too early!

No, it was good!

He holds you down, give him the elbow...
