We're confident we can contain the vice business here.

It's him!

Chiu Ha is probably dead.

Why such a hard lot?

Yeung, help me!

Precisely because Boxer was trying to protect her

he got hit on the head and went blind.

Sis, hang in there! No...

Why didn't you watch over your sister?

Why is she dead?

Today is the duel.

I must be there.

Do you have to hit so hard?

The fact is I already won.

I run the Association from now on.

Look at this setup.

The hookers and pimps are off the streets!

Tooth Man won't let them publicly solicit customers on the street.

He'd only let the customers walk in.

I thought the hookers would hit on me

and I can have some fun.

There's a spot...

Really? Ouch!

Move it, lecher!

You can't come in. Not until you pay off your debt.

I need to gamble to get money to pay my debt.

Please let me in.

Chairman Duen set the rules. Get lost!

He won't let their debts pile up.

At least he can keep his shirt on.

Tooth Man's rules really work.

Vice is vice.

Applying rules won't change anything.

Let's go.

Look, it's the Tooth Man!

He's personally attending to everything.

Pretend we didn't see him. Don't say hello.

Stop!

What is it now, Chairman Duen?

What's this?

I didn't mean to bring it outside.

We have rules.

You can only juice up in the dope joint.

I want this off the street.

What's going on, Chairman Duen?

If I wasn't here, this stuff would have gotten out.

If I catch you again, I'll bust your joint.

I understand.

He's such a big shot now he doesn't know us.

But Tak-liu! Heat Rash!

Here's the protection money from this month.

Use this and subsidise the neighbours.

You're turning it down? It's a lot of money!

They can pay less for their water.

I'm doing it for the neighbours.

Tiu Lan!

Here's your water!

Take that into the kitchen. Sure!

You delivered water to the vice street.

Was it bad? Are you alright?

I'm fine, but that street gives me the creeps.

Don't worry, Mrs. But!

Tooth Man runs a tight ship.

The gangs are taking orders from him.

If he hangs around them long enough,

he's likely to pick up their bad habits.

What's the point of saying that now?

Look on the bright side.

Tooth Man collects protection money

to subsidise our water bill.

He's beating up the strong to help the weak.

What's inside that brain of yours?

You let his petty favours brainwash you!

You're exaggerating!

You're praising the Tooth Man in here?

When did you become...

Not so loud! He can't see, but he can hear you!

Sorry! I didn't know! Is he better?

He's been cooped up in his room since the Tooth Man beat him.

Even when we brought him food,

he kept himself under the covers and didn't touch the food.

He can't survive like that!

Let me drag him out and make him eat.

Hey...

Boxer? It's Heat Rash, I'm coming in!

Wake up!

Where is he?

Tiu Lan!

Are you alright?

What is it?

I'm Father Kwong from the Church.

I don't believe in Jesus.

You're mistaken.

We came to the City to help the poor and homeless.

Are you hungry? You have a place to stay?

Go with my brothers,

the Church is giving out milk and eggs

and a place to sleep.

"Blessed are ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled."

"Blessed are ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh."

Miss, we have helped so many handicapped

I don't remember them all.

See if your blind friend is inside.

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

(The one worth staying for chooses to run away)

(Will two lost souls be able to do it?)

(Stay together and grow old together)

Don't pretend to be blind and fight us for our food.

I will hit you until you're really blind.

(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...)

Hey... looks like he's really blind.

Don't fight us if you're blind! Get lost!

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

(I took the wrong turn and fell for you when you didn't get my signal)

(That dream is just too far out)

(The road ahead is too dark... Where can we find our paradise?)

(I was trying to escape, so I tried to look arrogant)

(I never knew you were the best)

(Do we have to close our ears before we can hear?)

(Trapped in the night fog, I rushed on with my head down)

(Too much heartbreak!)

(Happiness is so far away, covered with dust)

(Until the wound is healed...)

Mr. Tin Kon, I still haven't found the dope brick Fa Man took.

Do you realise the gravity of the situation?

If the Association found out I didn't burn Opium Kam's dope,

they'd suspect me... Is this what you want?

I'm sorry I failed you.

Whatever you do,

you must not leave any loose ends.

I have a big deal going down

and I must offload a big lot.

Nothing must go wrong.

Don't waste my effort.

Don't worry, even if I had to turn the City upside down

I will find it for you.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...

The two of us can't finish all the food!

A worm in your stomach?

We should eat better.

Dig in!

Here's the 9th dish.

What's this?

This is for you.

Are you kidding me?

I'm serious.

Giving me a ring is a big deal, right?

Don't you think something is missing?

I get it! Waiter, give us vegetables.

Right away!

I'm sorry! I forgot you like vegetables.

Now you can accept the ring.

You have nothing else to say?

Take it! It's too valuable to lose.

I'm not taking it.

Why? You don't want it?

Finish the food and think.

You took her to a food stand?

No girl would accept the ring!

"9" means a long time,

"10" means perfect.

They are auspicious numbers.

You want something auspicious?

You're my son and I really can't figure you out.

If I tell her it's auspicious, will she take the ring?

A wedding must be auspicious,

but not a proposal.

Tak-li is a girl.

She was educated abroad, too! She'd like something romantic.

Like what?

All women like something romantic, and even I do.

But I don't know how to explain it.

When Pa gave you the ring,

what made you take it?

You really want to know?

Yes!

We're finished. Can you tell me now?

Give me the ring.

Your Pa used the durian as a ring box

and presented it to me like this.

That's weird! Are you sure?

People used to call me the Durian Princess.

Different people have a different interpretation of what's romantic.

What matters is she knows what you're thinking.

Let me think!

I have an idea!

Siu-sun, have you eaten breakfast?

Yes!

You can eat again.

Come in, pick anything you want.

If that's not enough, you can take them home

Really?

Thai Hag doesn't lie to kids! Help yourself!

I'll be late. Thank you!

You took my snacks,

so you must do something for me.

What?

Miss All-shhy!

Why don't you go home?

You want me to take you?

No, a guy wants us to ask you out.

What guy?

The best fighter in the City.

Why didn't he ask me himself?

Because he pissed you off last time.

Miss All-shhy, please say yes,

or else I won't have candies anymore.

Please say yes...

Alright... you win!

Yeah...

Looks like he has put in some thoughts.

Alright.

Where are we going?

"Chan rak khun... Khun Yindi Tangngan Kab Phm Him"

Lung Shing-fu, are you crazy?

Why did you pour water on me?

Look at me! I have to go change!

Tak-li!

Don't follow me! I don't want to see you.

Is he crazy? He poured water on me!

And he mumbled something I didn't understand

Maybe only you can understand kitten talk.

He was so gentle and his voice was so soft.

Maybe he said something I don't want to miss

Shall we go ask him?

Hey... where are you going?

What are you sniffing at?

What's this? Opium Kam's dope?

I'd better tell them!

Miss Or! Mr. Yeung!

Why are you all wet?

I'm so glad to see you.

What would you do if you found dope on the street?

You found dope?

Yes!

This is quite a lot!

Go notify Tooth Man at the Association

I still have work to do.

Can you manage on your own?

I'll meet up with you as soon as I can.

I'll get going. See you later.

Was I running too fast?

Stop!

Tak-li!

Yeung Chuk-luen, what have you done?

You're a kung fu expert. Who are you?

I won't answer you unless you beat me.

Let me see exactly how good you are.

The iron shield?

You have a good eye.

I don't believe you're impenetrable.

Wolf tattoo? The assassin order Boxer has been looking for?

You're an assassin too.

Agile, smart and resourceful!

You know you can't beat me head on.

Now it's my turn.

Do you know why you lose?

You have a heart! It makes you vulnerable.

You'll be invincible only if you're heartless.

He's injured. Let's go and see.

Lung Shing-fu?

He's dead!

Get the Association!

Get a doctor! Hurry!

Kitten...

No...

Kitten said something...

"Chan rak khun..."...I forgot the rest.

What did he mean?

Did he splash water on you?

Yes! What does that mean?

In Thailand, splashing water on someone is a blessing.

For a guy to do that to a girl is a profession of love.

What he said in Thai was "I love you. Will you marry me?"

His pocket...

You wanted to give me the ring, right?

I'll wear it...

I'm wearing it now.

Fu, can you see? Look...

I'm wearing your ring.

You want to marry me? Good!

I will marry you, Lung Shing-fu.

Get up and marry me.

You said you wouldn't leave me

and you'd look after me forever.

Get up...

Don't leave me...

Get a good night's sleep, and everything will be fine.

Tooth Man!

Mr. Yeung!

Looking for me? Yes!

Good! I need to talk to you.

I heard about Lung Shing-fu when I came back.

It was actually my mistake.

Why do you say that?

I ran into Miss Or before I left the City.

She told me she found dope on the street.

I was busy and didn't accompany her.

How could I have been so careless?

It's not your fault.

If Lung Shing-fu couldn't beat his killer,

there was nothing you could have done.

Do know why we still have dope from Opium Kam?

Opium Kam had been selling drugs for years.

Aside from what we have burnt,

I'm not surprised there are leftovers.

But why kill someone over the dope?

We must look into that.

I handled Opium Kam's dope,

do you suspect me?

Of course not!

Opium Kam forced you to help him with his drug trafficking.

You and I both hate drugs.

You encouraged us to set up the Welfare Association.

Even now that Boxer and I had a falling out,

you're still on my side.

Only you would help me

I don't want any misunderstandings to go between us.

Thanks for your trust.

I'll do all I can to help you.

I'm counting on you! I should go.

I'll walk you out.

If Duen Ying-fung showed a shred of doubt,

I guarantee he'd have been dead by now.

Let him live a bit longer.

You must speed up spreading the vice business throughout the City.

When this pawn is useless, you can kill him any way you want.

One's life is like one season for trees and grass.

Kitten led a life of violence and bloodshed.

His prior evildoings earned him his retribution.

His repentance should earn him his deliverance.

Come here... this is for you.

By tradition, I bathed his body

and wiped his hands, feet and face with this cloth.

The cloth is given to the family for keeps.

Why me? You're his Ma.

You're wearing his ring. We're now family.

Kitten, I missed you!

Kids, I'll teach you a song today, OK?

Yes!

A dear friend left the City recently.

This song is for him.

Miss All-shhy, this is for you.

Thank you, Little Bean!

(People say you're leaving the village.)

(We'll miss your smile...)

(Your eyes are bigger and brighter than the sun,)

(lighting up our lives...)

Don't make such a racket early in the morning!

There's food...

Come on, let's eat...

There's food...

This is really great! We don't have to beg for food.

The City is in a mess.

Even Lung Shing-fu was beaten to death!

We should probably leave.

But Lung Shing-fu is the best fighter!

The better you fight, the quicker you die.

Chor Au-kuen, how can you protect Sun Mei?

Thank you!

We're closing early? What is it?

I want to ask you something.

Is someone from the Order here?

Why do you say that?

Fa Man's killers had the wolf tattoo.

Now even Lung Shing-fu is dead.

I think someone from the Order killed him.

It's definitely not easy to kill Lung Shing-fu.

But it may not be someone from the Order.

What about Fa Man? How do you explain the wolf tattoos?

What I don't understand is that

you and I betrayed the Order,

if assassins came to the City why didn't they come after us

but killed Fa Man instead?

Fa Man pissed off a lot of people for revenge.

Maybe someone hired the hit.

If you're worried, we can go away together.

What are you hiding from me?

I risked my life and betrayed the Order because of you.

You think I'd lie to you?

Sorry, maybe I worry too much.

Everything I did, I was doing it for you.

We can't stay here anymore.

Let's go away together.

I can't do that.

Why? Because of Boxer?

You killed his father.

You can't be together.

That's enough!

I'm not finished... you bring him food every day,

neglect your shop and won't even go home.

He's an invalid. You have no future with him!

I said that's enough!

I won't leave Boxer no matter what happens to him.

What does he have that I don't?

That's not the point.

The point is he's the man I love at this moment.

What is it?

Can you help me find someone?

Who?

Chor Au-kuen.

You turned him into a blind man,

he won't stand in our way.

Why waste your time on him?

I believe Mr. Tin Kon would want to get rid of him for good.

I also have a personal reason to kill him.

I hope you can help me.

Will let you know when I find him.

He's an invalid. You have no future with him!

I said that's enough!

What kind of flower is this?

Looks like thorn apple,

but it's the wrong colour and it smells funny.

It looks like... Poison hemlock?

Yes, but who would put something so poisonous inside a sachet?

Let's go...

Who is it? What's going on?

See? He doesn't even know he's about to die!

How much longer will you let this invalid drag you down?

Regardless of what he has become,

I will not let you hurt him.

I'm trying to save you.

The Order never stopped looking for you.

I took the heat for you.

They will only let you go if I kill Chor Au-kuen

and I can take you with me.

I control my own life.

You finally admit you're working for the Order?

You put poison hemlock in the sachet

because you wanted me to remember I killed Boxer's father.

You're wounded. That means you were one of the killers who killed Fa Man.

I don't mind you knowing,

but Chor Au-kuen must die.

I'll kill you!

Go...

Stop!

He's hit!

Let him stand...

Clockwise and flip...

Watch the legs, turn sideways...

1, 2, 3... Up, arch back.

Arms up...

Arms up, arch back...

Yes, that's it.

Sorry...

Too slow... boom, like this.

Put your leg right here and boom...
