Gen Lai, do you remember...

that time when my papa got run over by a truck

...you came to my house

I um... I didn't cry

No, you didn't

Your eyes wide open & your fist clenched

It seemed you wanted to kill everyone

On the contrary I was crying with your mother

Big brother, our father is dead

What should we do?

Don't cry! It's useless to cry

Stop crying! Mom

I'm old enough

I'll find a job

We can support ourselves

Ah Rong, Ah Rong

Don't worry! Mom

I'll work hard

Gen Lai told me

I can have the same job that he has

What are you doing? Don't you run!

I'm sorry! Terrible sorry!

We broke your mail box

I'll pay for it. I will

Why do you need to pay for it?

You broke it

It's only fair to pay for it

The truck killed papa... who'll compensate me?

Xiang Rong, let's go

Where is my stuff?

Here, it's here

Two dozen beers?

Yes, right away

I will do it at once

Ah Sheng, 2 dozen beers to the Peak

Hurry up! The customers are waiting

To the Peak? Is there a delivery truck?

Truck! Truck!

It uses gasoline, don't you know?

How much you can get for 2 dozen beers?

Ride your bike! Hurry up!

I knew lots of youngsters like you

No one would work hard

Boss, Xiang Rong is different

Hiring you only on Gen Lai's recommendation

You've got to remember the rules here

You live & eat here; return home once a month

Work hard!

Come back to the store after delivery!

The pay... Boss

Room and board! He's but a rookie

There is no pay

Or else, I'll do this if he is a good worker

I'll give him 50 dollars allowance

Thank you! Mr. Fong

Hurry up! Say thanks

Thank you! Mr. Fong

He is the new one. His name is Xiang Rong

Let him try out a delivery first

Why are you still standing here? Hurry!

It's very easy! Just follow the address!

Maybe you will get a tip

Xiang Rong, work hard!

Both of us have jobs

Perhaps we'd be seeing less of each other now

Hurry back!

There are lots of deliveries

Go!

What are you doing?

Stealing the flowers!

Damn you... son of a bitch!

Damn you!

See what have you done to my car!

Do you know how much it'd cost to repair?

You son of a bitch!

Okay?

I, money, you

Do you want to die?

It's a hundred less

Yes, I know

Give it to me

I spent it

I'm going to take you to the police station

When I joined...

you said that you would give me allowance

It has been many months

You didn't give me a penny

Listen!

Every time you broke my stuff

...I would deduct it

You have to pay for the loss

It's from your allowance

I'll deduct this one hundred dollars later

What do you want?

Half a pound of bread

Xiang Rong

Is this half pound of bread?

You mother...

Are you helping me?

Or you're making trouble?

Don't insult my mom

Damn

Don't insult my mom

Screw you!

Wait for a moment!

Xiang Rong

Hurry up!

Come to help!

Yes

I want that

Not this one, it's that one

You've been here for a while

Pay more attention!

Then you wouldn't mess up

All right!

Go on now

Go cut the lamb chops and the legs at the back

You ain't sleeping if you don't finish yourjob

Hurry up

Close the door!

Big Brother

This?

Thank you. You hardly take any time off

Go and take some rest

Mom, I'll buy you a new pair...

when I get paid at the monthend

Ah Rong, the past 2 years must've been tough

I'm fine. Mom

My boss is very nice to me

I like my boss too

Big Brother

Money

Money?

The money

Hurry back!

I know there are more deliveries

Xiao Ping, Xiao Ping

Let's go! It's getting late

What are you looking?

I'm sorry! Excuse me!

Go! Go! Hurry up!

Coming...

Hurry up! We're waiting for you

Hurry! Hurry up!

I just got cookies

It's better than me, I brought a bag of bread

He is the best. A few of cans and pops

It's nothing

You're wonderful!

You're really good to your boss

He is also pretty good to me

Where is Gen Lai?

He is not coming

What's wrong?

He said that we're stealing food from the store

...and making merry

It's not the right way

He didn't want to be part of it

Forget about him! It's his own choice

Eat!

Let's eat! Have some bread

Take away those empty bottles!

Hello

Come on

It's open! Hurry!

Wait!

Hurry up...

Open...

Great! Open

Just a second

Open...

146, big eleven

I won, I won

Hurry up! Bet...

Hey, I win. Pay me

Piss off

Go away

I won. Why don't you pay me?

Go to hell!

Get lost! You have no money

Look at others!

There are bills

And you? A couple of coins

Who is going to pay you? Get the hell out

You don't need to do that...

if you're not going to pay

Shut up! Pick yourself up

You...

Get out! I'll beat you up!

Come on

Bet

Bloody go back!

Xiang Rong, are you crazy!

You've grown up

Why are you still causing troubles?

Your mom was here this morning

I told her that you're working hard

What do you want?

Next time when she comes...

Should I tell her the truth?

I won't be polite if you mess up again

Go to sleep!

It's good that you woke up

Or I'll kick your ass

Deliver it to this address!

Hurry up

How is it? It's here

Look! He is here

You are...

I thought that you're here all the time

You don't even know big brother Shi

Where are they?

Them?

They took off because big brother Shi is here

Those are the gifts to our big brother

Be quiet!

Yes

Are you Xiang Rong?

So what if I am?

I heard that you're very loyal

And you stole stuff from the store

Big brother wants to recruit you

Listen to me!

You'll live comfortably

I can teach you how to steal

I don't think you've prior experience with ladies

I got lots of pretty chicks

I will teach you to use drugs

Just like that

I won't do it

Teach him a lesson

Yes

It's enough

Think it over!

I'll see you in a couple of days

Go away!

Damn

Bloody furious?

Untie the rope and leave

I'm telling you

I'll come to see you in a couple of days

You'd better behave then

Silly boy!

Great! You learn a new trick

Getting into fights!

You got more and more ways to tackle

I couldn't stand it anymore

Get lost!

Go! Did you hear me? You leave

All right! I'm leaving

You calculate my pay for last couple of months

Just deduct it!

Xiao Zhen is asleep. I want to take her for a movie

She's too tired. She sure can sleep well

She's grown up so fast

Last year's clothes are too small for her

I bought the tickets

Mom, you come with me

I'm too old to watch the movies

I passed by the store of Mr. Fong

I went to see you but you were not in

I went to deliver and I was busy

Ah Rong, you've grown up

Mr. Fong said that you're working hard

But you fought with others

Mom, don't listen to him

I just wish I could earn more money

You wouldn't need to work so hard

Xiao Zhen could find a good school

Ah Rong, but you've got to behave

Behave! Behave!

We're fine now! Ah Rong

Don't make me worry!

I won't, Mom

Stop smoking!

Did you tell my mom that I fought with others?

Did I lie to her?

Open the door! Open it!

Who is there?

Open the door! I want to buy stuffs

Coming

Don't open the door! Sir

Bull shit! You don't like the money

I'm coming

Robbery

Scream again!

Get lost!

Take the expensive wine!

Yes

Big bro

Not bad

Boss, never mind

Just deducting his pay

You should have some

Okay

Tastes good

Ham

Ham

Great...

Good

For you

And lamb chops

Oh, lamb chops

Lamb chops

Boss

Big brother Shi, let's split

Let's go!

Should we call the police? Boss

It's no use, right?

I'd say you're in it with your gangster friends

If not, these robberies wouldn't happen

Why don't they go to rob others...

instead of robbing me?

I known you would say so

I shouldn't have woken up

Cut the crap! Clean it all up

You...

Damn it!

After him

Damn it!

After him...

Goddamn it!

What are you doing?

Do you want to die?

Hurry up! Let's follow him

Catch him...

Hurry!

Gen Lai

Hit him!

He knows martial arts. Run

Gen Lai

Why didn't you mention about it?

That you're well versed in martial arts

My master wouldn't allow me to fight

And I couldn't tell others either

So...

Gen Lai

I want to learn martial arts too. Please!

All right! I'll introduce my master to you

Xiang Rong, I got a greatjob

I'll start training tomorrow

What kind ofjob?

Guess!

I don't care. You've to take me to learn Kung Fu

Let's go!

Damn it, get back to your work. Hurry up

Master

Xiang Rong

Master, Xiang Rong is too focussed

He is overconcentrating

In last couple of months...

he improved faster than everyone did

He is totally engrossed

For someone learning martial arts

It's horrible!

Look at his expression

He treats the sand bag...

as if it were alive!

And also he wants his target to die

Xiang Rong

Xiang Rong

Master

Who are you fighting with?

I...

Gen Lai

You hurt me

I'm sorry!

You didn't ask me what I am doing

Why should I care!

I only care about my Kung Fu

Master said that in last couple of months...

you've improved faster than everyone

Let's go

What are you looking at?

What are you doing? Let's go...

Is she your girlfriend?

Don't be foolish!

Look at you! You can't fool me

When I began work at the store...

She came to buy bread everyday

At times I stole flowers for her

But we haven't talked for a long time

Plain talk is just useless

I see that her friends are different from her

Oh, you like them!

Shut up!

What are you doing?

Look!

Big Bro! You're great!

Both of you are crazy!

What's wrong with you?

Everytime you're back you break something

Mom, I'm practicing my Kung Fu

Can you live on Kung Fu?

It's much more important

My boss doesn't dare to deduct from my salary

I don't need to be afraid if I break these stuff

I'll buy a new one

Xiao Zhen, I'll bring you a coat...

when the next time I'm back

Eat slowly!

This month...

you've broken 3 wooden posts

Come on, let's get to practice

The master told us...

we can't practice Kung Fu with you

How can we improve if we don't practice?

Don't be afraid! The master is not home

Are you afraid that you can't beat me?

Come on, all of you together

Stop! Cut it out!

Stop right this moment! This is not practicing

Master

Master...

Xiang Rong was...

That's enough! You can go now

Yes

Xiang Rong. Stay

Master, are you going to...

teach me some more?

How long have you been here?

Almost one year

It's enough

Tomorrow you don't need to come again

And don't address me as 'master' anymore

Was it something wrong I did?

You didn't do anything wrong

You're the hardest working and smartest pupil

...I've ever met

But you have too much hate

The hatred in your heart is strong

We need to avoid 'HATE' in martial arts

Hereafter, I am not your teacher

I also wish that you stop practicing it

You may leave

I'll continue it myself for sure

Look at you! After discontinuing the Kung Fu lessons

...you practice on the cans

Take a good look!

If you delivered things like that...

would anyone accept?

If you keep on doing it

I'll no longer hire you

Boss, deduct it from my pay!

You...

Boss, Xiang Rong has grown up

You can't bully him anymore

Oh, come on! Get back to work

Hello, yes... what do you want?

Yes...

Robbery! Help! Robbery!

Stop him! He took my purse

Quickly! Stop him! He took my stuff

Why didn't you help me stopping him?

What the heck!

Forget about it! You'd better leave now

I don't want to get robbed later

It's not your lucky day!

Let's go!

Stop! I'm the police

I'm the police. Stop!

Stop running!

Stop!

Your purse

Let me go!

No, you have to go to the police station with me

No... no way

I can't stand that place anymore

Come with me

Don't get closer

Freeze! I'll shoot

Do it! Big Hero

All of you are cold blood killers with licenses

Put down the knife and go with me

Getting killed is better than being in prison

Shoot me! Go ahead!

Don't force me to jump!

You have to know...

what would you look like if run over by a train!

Would you want to die that way?

If you've decided on doing that...

I'll prepare for your funeral first

Go

Hey

What do you want?

There is delivery

Are you still delivering goods? It's been a long time

What a loser!

It's better than you being a robber

Let's go in!

Please show me! Master King

Sure

Good...

Please! Master Liu

What's there to look at, huh? Go

Move it!

I'm telling you to leave

Who are you?

Delivery boy from the store

Not bad! He can't compete with you

Would you dare to try others?

I'm afraid to hurt them

You're very confident

Come on

Wait and see

All right. Stop it!

Mr. Tou asks you guys to break it off

No more! Master Liu

What's your name? Great skills!

He is Xiang Rong. I...

I'm asking him not you

My name is Xiang Rong

Will you work with me?

I don't know anything except delivering goods

That's enough with your Kung Fu

Well? Yes or no?

I'll pay you 3,000 dollars every month

It's better than your presentjob

What? Three...

Ah Rong, you're crazy

Mom, my luck seems to be picking up

We will have a better life

What are you saying?

Look! Mom

3,000 dollars! It's exactly 3,000 dollars

Tell me the truth

Where did you get the money?

Mom

Don't worry!

Mr. Tou likes me

He wants me to work for him

He'd pay me 3,000 dollars every month

Who is Mr. Tou?

He is a wellknown businessman

He is very famous

Everyone knows him

What does he want you to do?

He pays you a lot of money

To rich people it means nothing

I'll do whatever he wants

You can't do anything illegal, mind you

Look at your son

Do I look like a criminal?

Hey, what are we waiting for?

Shut up! After some time, just...

go out and confront that gang, that's it

Who is that guy trying to pick on Mr. Tou?

Do you know what you're doing here?

Here they come

Who are you?

Fight

Go!

Rong, you handle them

Hurry up!

Let's go look for Tou Cheng

Boss, no need to hurry!

We'll use his own medicine

We'll treat him the same way he treats us

We heard that Tou Cheng...

just got a top fighter

Yes. He can fight with four people

Otherwise, six of us wouldn't be biting dust

The toughest one in Tou Cheng's group...

is that Korean guy called Liu

Then it's King Ren

The new one is very young

I hear his name is Xiang Rong

Xiang Rong?

I've never heard about him

He must be a rookie

Where is Ah Rong?

He's over there

Master Xiang, our boss wants to meet you

Must be something good he wants to give you

Don't forget! We're old friends

Come in

You did a greatjob yesterday

I knew I wasn't mistaken

What did I do yesterday?

Oh, you have no idea?

Let me tell you! You killed 2 guys...

who worked for Mr. Long

And took their goods

Mr. Long is looking all over for you

Rong, you will become famous...

in this line of work

Boss, I quit

Why? What's wrong?

You cheated me. You made me do illegal stuff

I didn't ask you to kill people

I...

I never meant to kill

It was a mess at that time

Don't need to explain it

There's a lot waiting for you to do

Also there is a reward

Here's your first payment

Take it!

Ask your mother to move...

to a better house

And find a better school for your sister

You...

I know it all

I won't hire anyone...

unless I know his background

Deliver it to this address

That'll be all for today

Do you know how to drive?

There is a red car in the garage

It's yours

I've arranged for Stone to accompany you

He is waiting for you

This is...

Don't ask too many questions!

But I can tell you

It's illegal

Last couple of days...

whatever you did for me it's all illegal

It's not worse than killing

He can't be trusted, boss

Take it slow! He'll blend in slowly

He'll be loyal to me eventually

It's very important. You're not afraid...

No

There's something more important for him to do

I want him to kill

I want him get involve deeper and deeper

Please! Mr. Xiang

Brother Shi, you don't need to be so polite

Just call me Stone

What about that power & prestige of yours?

It's still there but can't compare with you

You're a bigshot now

Goddamn it!

Stop! Stone

I didn't do it on purpose

Pick them up!

He hit your car

Did you hear me? Pick them up

Go on

Thank you

Mom, what do you think?

Ah Rong, what's wrong with you?

Most of the time you're not at home

Xiao Zhen is at a boarding school

I mean, it's just me

Why do I need such a big place?

This is nothing

Mom

I'll buy you a house in the future

Ah Rong, you're getting richer

But why does your face look so pale?

It is not easy to earn a living, Mom

Bloody Long, how dare he!

From what I hear, the guy who seized our goods...

is one of the subordinates of boss Long

He is called Bou Chiang

Kill him for me

King Ren, you go to kill him

Yes, boss. But...

Mr. Long is too much...

I'll take care of him. You can go

I want to get rid of Bou Chiang tonight

Yes

Xiang Rong, don't go

Boss, I do not kill

You've done it before

It's different. In a fight...

Who can be sure?

But if I kill someone with a motive...

You have to go

You're very smart

You knew that I would send you to kill Mr. Long

I'm not going

Xiang Rong, how is your mom?

Dare you?

Should I tell her...

about what her son has been doing for a year?

What would she think?

She has all her hopes pinned on you

If she knows that you...

Stop laughing

I know that you'll do it

We've planned the way that...

you can meet him

This is a serious case...

if Mr. Long gets killed by you

The police will try hard to investigate it

You'd have to lay low for a while

I have it all arranged

There is a house in the suburbs

You can take your mother along

She isn't well and can take a good rest there

What did the doctor say about her sickness?

Her heart is weak and she is overstrained

She can't take the excitement

Then you shouldn't worry her

First they'll take care of Bou Chiang tonight

You can handle Mr. Long tomorrow

Is it OK?

What do you think?

I'll go

Good

Someone will bring your mother to that house

You can see her when you finish your task

Boy

What do you want?

Good

Another bottle

Bloody hell!

Mom

I'm fine. Mr. Tou's house is huge

There are two gentlemen with me

Come to see me when you're free

What's up? Is everything all right?

Whom have you sent for mom's surveillance?

Surveillance?

Does that sound too nasty?

I've just sent someone to take care of her

Who?

You knew him. One of them is Stone

He'd be alright, isn't it?

You should go to find Mr. Long now

Take this knife!

Remember! You have to kill Mr. Long

Otherwise... you know...

the consequences

Don't worry! lt'll be over very soon

As long as you're loyal to me

I'll always take care of you

What are you thinking? Go

Who?

Mr. Long

Where is Mr. Long?

Do you want to see him?

Are you Xiang Rong?

Why do you need to see him?

Go ahead! Tell him

He'll decide if or not he wants to see me

OK! Search him!

Have you searched him?

Yes, there is a knife

I took it out myself

Search him again!

Yes

No more weapons

Xiang Rong... is it?

That's right

You're working for Tou Cheng

You really have guts to be here

Well, I wasn't born to work for Tou Cheng

Are you thinking to betray him?

lt'll depend on how you think

If you decide to betray him...

I'll pay you any price

But first you need to gain my trust

You have to kill Tou Cheng for me

You...

Both of you are the same kind

What are you saying?

Tou Cheng wants you dead

You know... your subordinates ain't very careful!

What do you mean?

I got a chance to kill you just now

You should've got the drift by now

All right, what are your terms?

I want to talk to you alone

OK, come with me

You wait here!

Yes

You can talk now

I'll kill Tou Cheng in three days

But all his businesses will be mine

Sure, that's okay

Of course I'll be under your control

And I won't listen to others

I agree! You'll be my second hand

That's all

That's all I ask for

All right, let's call it a deal then

It's a deal!

Within three days

...you'll get the news of Mr. Tou's murder

This is the first time I meet you

But I can tell you're a tough guy

You'll have a great future, little Bro!

Thank you very much, Mr. Long

It's time to go

Do you need to tell your guys...

to let me go?

Yes

Hey

I'm done talking to Xiang Rong

He is leaving. Let him go

Mr Long, there's something else

Hello...

Boss, Xiang Rong left. Hello

Stop him

Ah Rong

What's the matter?

Nothing

I'm just tired

You can go

I am here

It's the boss's command

We have to be here and take care of you two

I asked you to leave

Boss' order! Mr. Xiang

We have to follow it

Ah Rong

How could you be so rude to your colleague?

How many are you here?

Not too many... but enough to take care of you

I'm going to see Mr. Tou

Xiang Rong, calm down

It has already happened

You'd have to lay low for some time

Don't be stubborn!

Or your mom...

Ma'am

You take a good rest

Mr. Xiang is on vacation and he can be with you

I'm sorry to trouble all of you

Mr. Tou is such a nice boss

I don't know how to thank him enough

Mom

Mr. Tou treats everyone equally

He'll come to see you when he's free

Are you done?

Go

You...

Mom, you aren't asleep yet?

Can't sleep because there is something worrying me

Just like you

I wasn't thinking anything

Mother has seen you grow up

You have a very strong mind

Even if something bothers you, you won't complain

When you were working at the store...

I know you are suffering

I feel sorry when I think about it

But you wouldn't tell me anything

Mom

Those days are over

It's not true

Back at the store... agreed, it was tough work

But it was all lawful

Ah Rong... tell me, dear

What is it that you're doing now?

I'm working for Mr. Tou

He is a nice boss

You may be able to hide it from others

But I am your mother

Ah Rong

From the first time you brought back the money

...I knew there was something wrong

There is no easy money in the world

You are not well educated and not skilled

I know Kung Fu though, Mom

Mr. Tou will pay you for your Kung Fu

What does he want you to do?

You don't need to worry, Mom

I can't help worrying because you're my son

This is not the way, Ah Rong

It doesn't matter what you did... give yourself up

I sure can tell

You've done something bad

The worse part;

You don't dare to admit...

whatever is it that you did!

I killed someone, Mom

Why? Why did you do it?

Boss, we can't trust Xiang Rong

Relax. I got his mother

I still can control him

I'm afraid that one day...

Who is it?

Boss, it's me

Come in

Why're you here? You've got to watch Ah Rong

Xiang Rong told his mother that he killed someone

She insists that he surrenders himself to the law

I heard everything

I bugged their conversation

What an ungrateful bastard!

I've told you

You have to give yourself up

This is impossible. You should know it

They won't let you go

You know if I surrender,

they will...

Don't worry about me! I'm an old lady

You're young and still have your future

As long as I know that...

you will repent and be good

I promise I'll give myself up, Mom

Okay

But you'd have to do it as I say

You leave first

You are saying that they won't let me go

I'm the person they're after

I guarantee to them that I'll stay here

I won't leave...

until you're back

Maybe we can negotiate with them

Then you...

They can't keep me here

First you go over to Xiao Zhen and wait for me

One hour later...

I'll come and meet you

And give myself up to the police

Don't worry! Just listen to me

I'll figure out the way

Mr. Xiang, where are you going so early?

My sister is sick and my mother needs to visit her

She will be back in a couple of hours

The boss has ordered

Let your mom stay here...

and don't go out without any reason

The boss just wants me...

to be holedup here for the meantime

My mother will go alone

Is it alright if I stay here instead of her?

I have to ask the boss

No need

The boss called and told us

We have to listen to Mr. Xiang

I'll stay here anyway

Unless my mother is back,

I won't leave

Please! Ma'am

Go ahead! Mom

You can grab a cab down the road

Indeed you're faithful to your duties

Thank you

There are so many of us

It's so boring to just look at each other

Who has got the cards?

Let's play for a while

Here

Come on!

OK

Straight Flush, Five of a kind

How about you?

Mom

You've been working with me for a long time

How could you be so naive?

Do you think it's that easy?

I just needed to find out...

if you really wanted to betray me

That's the reason I called Stone

Do you think that you can run away from me?

Let her go!

Ah Rong, go

You still have a chance to reform

Mom

Go

Mom

Go

Mom! Leave her alone

Do you want to betray me?

Take him

Hold it

Let her go

You must be dreaming

I want you to see her die

Mom

Master

Xiang Rong

Are you blaming me to have taught you Kung Fu?

The martial arts is like the water and the fire

You can benefit and also can get hurt from it

It depends on how you use it

I just had to come here and tell you that...

I understand it now

It's not too late if you realize it

You're still the hardest working and smartest pupil

...I've ever met

Master

It's time for practicing

I don't know when will be the next time...

you two can practice together!

Let's do it now

Yes

Gen Lai

Xiang Rong

Gen Lai, please take care of my sister
