Original subtitles

We must fight to defend the City.

Naturally the neighbours would rather not take the risks.

Those who want the Association to take over vice business, raise your hands.

I had a mission that day.

Your Father died because I poisoned him.

2 of the 3 glasses of wine are poisoned, take your pick!

We have the right to pursue our own happiness.

You mustn't give up.

This is where you'll run your vice business.

This tiny street is not enough!

If you want to be in, you must follow our rules.

If you're not happy, get out!

Let the others split your share.

We come here to make money, not to quarrel.

I don't care what you do.

Sort it out among yourselves.

Not that I don't trust you,

but you're not the only chairman of the Association,

Chor Au-kuen looks like he wants to eat us alive.

I invited you here because I'm confident I can settle this.

I will keep Boxer in line.

Right! You stopped him last time.

What about you two?

I'll follow your lead.

We're a small gang, whatever you say!

Good! Let's get something straight,

whoever takes their vice business out of this street will answer to me.

Boxer, get up!

What is it, Thai Hag?

Some gang members have come into the City and are gathering on the east side.

What? I'll get rid of them.

You're still sick.

Are you alright? I'm fine. The fever broke.

I'll take a few men with me.

That's right!

Get out of my way.

What are you doing? Calm down!

Where are you going? To the east side?

Don't bother! They're gone!

Gone? You chased them out?

We agreed to give them a street.

They'll set things up in 10 days.

What?

Hey!

Are you crazy?

Don't...

Calm down!

It's just one street.

I told them I'll bust them if they step out of bounds.

Don't fight among yourselves.

You'll break up the Association.

You're brothers, you should talk.

If you break up the partnership, the neighbours will suffer.

I'm doing this for the neighbours.

You're doing this for them?

Thai Hag and But Tak-liu are right,

the Association will break up.

I have an idea.

What do you suggest?

You're both chairmen of the Association,

to argue like this won't yield anything.

Let's have a Baji rematch,

the winner will decide the future of the City.

I don't want them to fight,

how can you suggest that?

Exactly, a fight will only make things worse

Not if the loser admits his defeat.

Fine! The winner has the final say.

I will beat you fair and square.

Very well, we'll have the duel in 5 days.

You must respect the outcome.

(Lan Fa Perm Shop)

You're finally open. I bought breakfast.

Have a bun before your customers show up.

Thank you.

I'm glad you got your appetite back.

I heard Boxer and Tooth Man will fight for the final say of the Association.

Mrs. But told me.

You were worried about Boxer and wanted to see him through this crisis.

Regardless of the outcome of the duel, you can leave afterwards, right?

That depends...

Depends on what?

If he wins, you'll stay to help him with the Association.

If he loses, you'll stay by his side to console him.

You're grasping for excuses to stay.

You have decided to leave.

Why are you wavering now?

Because I have one shred of hope that he'll forgive me

and let me stay by his side.

Don't be so naive. How can he forgive you?

You killed his Father!

How did you know about that?

Sorry, I overreacted.

I always knew.

I didn't say anything because I didn't want to affect you two.

Now that you know everything,

you must realise even if he's willing to forgive you,

you can't pretend nothing ever happened.

Sun Mei, I just want you to note the facts.

Come on...

Why are you pushing me?

Go to the store and talk to your Ma.

Tell her why you got back into boxing.

Apologise to her properly

and tell her you won't do it again.

I never explain, you do it...

No... you must go or I'll be mad at you.

I can walk.

The Welfare Association must not give in

and let the gangs get what they want.

The Boxer is standing up for the City.

He made such a mess we could barely make a living.

How can you make a living without order?

The Tooth Man said the Association will monitor them.

I trust the Tooth Man.

That's right!

You're crazy! I trust Boxer!

I trust Tooth Man! Me too!

I'm not talking to you.

Trust Tooth Man...

Lung Shing-fu?

Never hurt a woman, not even in a fight.

Sorry! Sorry!

I'm sorry!

Are you alright?

I didn't mean it.

Why are you walking behind me again?

I always do that.

I can take a better look at the surroundings

Lung Shing-fu! What's wrong with you?

What kind of a man would be scared to hold a girl's hand?

You do that all the time! Am I so scary?

You're such a coward!

Hold my hand and never let go again, you hear me?

Yes, Miss Audrey.

Told you not to call me that!

Call me Tak-li or Audrey!

Try Audrey!

All-shhy...

What a good kitten!

Meow for me. No!

Come on, you're a Kitten!

I'm a boxing champ!

Tiger is still a cat...

Ma!

How dare you show your face around here!

I'll put lashing marks on your back,

so you can't box in the ring again.

I'll show you...

You're too old for that!

Ma, I won't do it again.

Pull your ears if you're sorry.

Please forgive him. He knows he's wrong.

Only because you tried to raise money for Audrey's plane ticket.

She told you?

It's best to resolve a misunderstanding quickly.

Why didn't you tell me?

And why did you hit me anyway?

Your Ma wants to teach you a lesson.

You think you're being noble?

I'll show you.

You're a Kitten in this family.

Now that Tak-li is not leaving,

you can use the money to get married.

I didn't say I'll marry him.

I didn't say he's marrying you.

I mean no girl would marry him.

Ma! What?

Boxer and Tooth Man are having a duel?

(Boxer will win)

You have soup?

Thai Hag!

The neighbours left this behind.

Why did you come together?

You sorted out your differences?

He knows too?

Embarrassed? You have nothing to hide!

You wanted to see me?

You're not my protege,

but I taught you a thing or two.

I came to make sure you won't embarrass me.

He's here to keep an eye on things.

Good! I meant to ask you...

Tell me honestly,

I have no chance of beating the Tooth Man?

I understand.

Fu, you're the best fighter in the City.

I want to know what level I'm at.

Mind if we have a go?

Good, but don't overdo it.

Quick response... enough power...

Thank you.

You have improved. At least you know your limitations.

I have been practising very hard,

but I'm nowhere near your level.

You have made enormous progress compared to when you first arrived.

You can't beat me because you're too anxious to hit me.

When you can't hit me, you get agitated.

Then you're confused and lose your bearing.

You're giving yourself too much pressure.

You must train your eyes, legwork and moves

as well as your state of mind.

When you picked up Baji again,

you only focused on technique

but have neglected the inner training.

Tooth Man is known to be calm and composed.

He has an edge over you in that regard.

What can I do?

Don't let the surroundings affect you.

Set aside the agitation, pushiness, nervousness and aggression.

Train yourself so that nothing distracts you

No distractions?

Of course I want Boxer to win.

Better yet, I don't want them to fight.

How long can we maintain peace?

No matter what happens, I will protect you.

I can't dissuade Boxer.

Let's hope Fa Man can dissuade the Tooth Man

A man do listens to the woman he loves.

Just like you.

What are you talking about?

Tak-li is a nice girl.

It's not easy for her to live alone in the City.

You must love her and protect her.

You redeemed the ring so that I could give it back to you.

I want you to give this to her.

Then you can openly look after her.

Come in...

Thank you! Thank you!

Tooth Man!

Mr. Yeung! They are...

They wish to thank you and root for you.

After you made an agreement with the gang,

they stopped harassing us.

That's right...

This is for you!

Thank you!

I feel bad towards the Boxer,

but you're really brilliant.

Enjoy the fruit.

My wife made you soup.

It's pork tendon with wild yam. Enjoy it.

Thank you so much.

You must beat the Boxer.

Since your Father's death,

you're the best candidate to carry on his behest.

The City is counting on you.

That's right...

Don't worry, I won't let you down!

That's good...

Fa Man!

Am I interrupting?

We should go!

Let's go...

Thank you...

I'll walk you out.

It must be tough to fight your pal.

But for the greater good, it's inevitable.

We're confident you'll beat the Boxer,

and keep the vice business contained.

I should go.

You're getting quite friendly with Mr. Yeung

He understands me and is very helpful.

He's someone to be trusted.

That's why you took his advice to have this duel?

There's no other way?

No. It's the best solution.

If you can listen to Mr. Yeung, you can listen to me.

Right or wrong, can you do it for me?

Don't fight my brother.

You know I can't do that.

Last time you promised me

you'll sort things out and won't fight.

Boxer and I have very different thinking.

We both want to protect the City

and we're fighting for what we believe in.

You're our family, you should be supportive.

I know you're in a tight spot.

I suggest you don't show up at the duel.

I don't want you to be unhappy.

Fung!

I still need to practise.

Boxer is not the same anymore.

I must not underestimate him.

Let's go.

(Fung)

The blood stain looks rather odd.

I know... moon cake, Chinese shortbread,

sponge cake, sticky rice pudding...

It must be tough to fight your pal.

But for the greater good, it's inevitable.

We're confident you'll beat the Boxer.

The City is counting on you.

You're getting quite friendly with Mr. Yeung

He understands me and is very helpful.

He's someone to be trusted.

That's why you took his advice to have this duel?

Him?

Yeung Chuk-luen is in possession of dope?

Didn't he burn it?

He swapped it!

He's been holding out on us for so long,

I'd better tell Yeung.

Cough it up!

Get it yourself!

Yeung, help me!

No!

Yeung!

Sis...

Boxer!

Answer me, Sis!

Boxer!

Sis...

Boxer!

Where is my sister? Is she alright?

Tell me, Tiu Lan!

Sis, answer me!

Answer me, Sis!

Sis... answer me!

Sis... hang in there, OK?

Tiu Lan, you know first aid.

Help her!

Tiu Lan, hurry up! No...

It's no use!

Hang in there, Sis...

Sis... No!

Sir, your eyeballs are not injured.

But your pupils are not responsive to light.

The initial assessment is that you suffered a concussion to the head

that affected your vision.

When can he see again?

I'm sorry, I can't answer that.

If his eyeballs are not injured

why can't he recover?

I didn't say he wouldn't.

But we know too little about the brain.

I don't want to give you false hope.

You'll be fine!

Where are you going?

I want to see Ha!

We were supposed to go somewhere nobody knows us

and open a food stand.

Tooth Man!

Why didn't you watch over your sister?

Why is she dead?

Calm down!

Sis, I'm sorry I failed to protect you.

I can't even take one last look at you.

Precisely because Boxer was trying to protect her,

he got hit on the head and went blind.

The killers had wolf tattoos.

Here's the key to the stand.

I hope you can keep it running

so the regular customers will have somewhere to hang out.

Here you go!

I've been waiting a long time.

Drink it.

It's so sweet. It's the best bean sprouts soup I've ever had.

I hope Miss Chiu won't suffer anymore.

Shall I find out who hired the hit?

Revenge won't bring her back.

Contain your grief.

The gangs will move in next week.

You must fight the Boxer.

Why aren't you eating?

Let's wait for Tiu Lan,

or she'll give us Hell.

Chiu Yeung and his sister still don't want to come home?

Chiu Ha left the City to visit her friend.

Boxer has been practising at the Association

He's been busy...

Here he comes.

You're home!

I'm home, Grandaunt!

It's about time!

What took you so long? Sit down...

Sorry, I'm late!

Granny Miu has waited a long time for you.

I live in the Association so I can practise.

But I can't stay away too long.

I missed your cooking.

I'm starving. Let's eat!

Let's eat... Let's eat...

Come on, let's eat!

The ribs with black bean sauce are delicious

Boxer, you must try them! Really?

It's really good!

Don't forget the vegetables.

You'll need them for strength.

You two are sickening

Hurry up and get married.

When will Ha be back?

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

That brat eloped with the Tooth Man

and got married in Malacca.

She didn't tell me beforehand

and only told me when she boarded the plane.

She doesn't want me to fight the Tooth Man

and forced him to get on the plane with her.

They may not come back.

How considerate of her!

She told me she wanted to start over in a place where nobody knows her.

I guess she got her wish.

Hopefully she'll be happy there.

I'm sure she will be.

Your rice is cold, I'll get you another bowl

Ha wanted me to apologise for her

for not offering you any tea.

She probably can't invite you to the wedding

I'm happy as long as she's happy.

She said she'd never forget the kindness you have shown us.

It's a shame she never got around

to spend much time with you or look after you.

She sent someone to Macau

and bought the flat you were living in.

She bought me a flat?

Yes!

Like me, you can now be a landlady.

How thoughtful of her!

Though you have been living in the flat,

now that you're the owner,

you should go back to Macau

and take possession of it.

I've been busy at the Association.

I may not be able to go with you.

No need. I've lived there all my life.

I have such a filial grandniece,

I should go back and show off to my friends.

Right, show off...

I'll show off to my friends...

Great!

Let's eat!

(Hong Kong - Macau Ferry)

Where is Kuen? Will he make it?

We still have 15 minutes. He'll make it.

Speaking of the devil.

Sorry, I was practicing.

Luckily, I made it in time.

It's alright.

Let us know when you get home safely, OK?

Don't be such a nag!

Boxer is concerned about you.

He can't part with you.

Look, tea cakes! I'll get some.

Watch the time. I will.

Here, nice and hot!

For me? Yes!

They smell great!

You and Ha both loved tea cakes so much when you were little.

It feels like yesterday when I took you to Macau.

Now you're a grown man.

Look after yourself, you hear?

I will.

Time to get on board.

Right!

Don't worry!

Go on home!

Let's go, Granny Miu!

You must stay healthy!

Sis, I sent Grandaunt home.

She'll be safe as long as she's away from the City.

I will avenge you.

What are you looking for?

Where are the tea cakes?

Right here! Thanks.

Granny Miu left you a letter.

What does it say?

Chiu Yeung, these last few months have been the happiest time of my life.

I'm glad you found your purpose in life

and we found Chiu Ha.

We spent quality time together as a family.

I thought Heaven has been good to me.

Chiu Ha told me earlier

her travel document was not ready.

And you've always hated black bean sauce since you were little.

Why should I be so smart?

The elderly should be muddle-headed.

It was kind of you not to tell me about your eyes.

I assume Chiu Ha is probably dead.

You just didn't want me to be sad.

Why such a hard lot?

A man should not have misgivings.

I will go back to Macau because you want me to.

Do whatever you think is right.

You must hang in there whatever lies ahead.

I'll always support you.

Make sure you stay alive.

Or you'll break more than my heart.

Tiu Lan is a nice girl. Don't let her down.

When it's over, bring her to Macau and visit me.

I'm utterly useless. I can't see.

I can't get my revenge.

I can't even fool an old lady.

She doesn't blame you.

Careful... Where are you going?

Where are you going? I'll go with you.

Mother!

Look after your sister.

Stay here and wait for me.

Let's shake on it.

I will come back. Don't go anywhere.

Be here or be square.

Have you seen my brother?

I'm sorry. I can't see.

My brother went to buy candied haws and told me to wait here.

He's been gone a long time. I want to go look for him.

Don't! Your brother will come back for you because he promised.

If you go somewhere else,

he'll be worried sick if you're not here when he comes back.

Really?

If you're bored,

I'll sit with you for a while.

Sis! Over here!

I'm sorry, I got lost.

It took me a long time to find my way back.

I'm glad you're still here.

We said be here or be square.

My brother is here, goodbye Big Brother!

Goodbye!

Hey kid, don't leave your sister behind again.

I won't. Bye, Big Brother!

Bye!

Be careful!

Breakfast is not ready. I'm steaming the buns.

I have to go out. What?

Go where? Let someone go with you.

But Tak-liu! Yes!

Today is the duel. Take me there.

What?

You're blind! Are you crazy?

Hey...

You can't see. You'll trip and fall.

How can you fight?

Let me through if you're done talking.

Boxer!

Don't bother! You think the Tooth Man will fight you like this?

Fa Man is dead. He's in no mood to fight.

That's his business if he doesn't show up.

But I will be there.

I won't give myself excuses to be a coward.

I don't think he's coming.

He's sensible.

You should unite against the enemy

and avenge your sister

and not fight against each other.

If the Tooth Man is not coming,

get out of the wind and go home.

I know the Tooth Man, he will keep his promise.

He's here.

What the heck is he doing here?

You're on time.

Chiu Ha couldn't become Mrs. Duen because of the City.

We parted on a sour note over this duel.

How could I forget?

We lost so much over this duel,

I assume you won't give up?

No, neither would you.

The future of the City is in my hands.

You can't even see. Can you fight?

I know the moves, I can do this with my eyes shut.

Fine! I won't let you win.

Mr. Yeung, please...

A rematch between Duen Ying-fung and Chiu Yeung.

The winner will decide the future of the City.

Are you ready?

That was vicious!

You didn't have to hit so hard!

Are you trying to kill him?

You don't even know where I am. You lost.

Again!

What are you trying to prove?

The fact is I've already won.

You must keep your promise

and let me run the Association.

The gangs will move in next week.

I did not lose.

Boxer! Boxer!

Stop fighting!

Help me up!

He's gone!

No...

He's here.

This way.

Sorry, I got mixed up.

Do this... yes! And this...

Like this... boom...

Tooth Man, I call the shots here!

You're nuts!
