1
00:00:47,650 --> 00:00:50,711
In 1930, after the success of the
Northern Expedition,
2
00:00:50,770 --> 00:00:52,226
the Nanjing Government formed
a new government.
3
00:00:52,376 --> 00:00:55,585
Yet the city centre of Shanghai
was still divided into
4
00:00:55,689 --> 00:00:58,340
the Chinese Territory, the International
Settlement and the French Concession,
5
00:00:58,809 --> 00:01:01,289
each with their own laws independent
of each other.
6
00:01:01,555 --> 00:01:04,229
Triad influence kept expanding
within the French Concession.
7
00:01:04,255 --> 00:01:06,462
In particular, Shankeng Company,
owned by the 3 tycoons of Shanghai,
8
00:01:06,570 --> 00:01:09,574
monopolised the opium trade
and had money rolling in,
9
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:13,776
making them so powerful
they're almost untouchable.
10
00:01:20,803 --> 00:01:25,218
Meanwhile, when the League of Nations
called for an international ban on opium,
11
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,829
the new government, eager to establish
stability and credibility,
12
00:01:27,917 --> 00:01:30,056
implemented a national ban on drugs,
13
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,674
winning support from the people.
14
00:01:33,010 --> 00:01:40,474
Crackdown on drugs...
15
00:01:40,531 --> 00:01:45,025
Opium will ruin the nation and its people...
16
00:01:45,132 --> 00:01:49,387
Crackdown on drugs...
17
00:01:49,562 --> 00:01:54,432
Opium will ruin the nation and its people...
18
00:02:04,205 --> 00:02:07,698
(Swallow Nest, Chinese Territory)
19
00:02:09,399 --> 00:02:10,901
Quit opium if you're broke!
20
00:02:10,928 --> 00:02:13,249
You still owe me from last time!
21
00:02:13,315 --> 00:02:14,623
Can you go faster?
22
00:02:16,638 --> 00:02:19,209
Crackdown on drugs...
23
00:02:19,291 --> 00:02:22,693
Opium will ruin the nation and its people...
24
00:02:22,769 --> 00:02:24,498
Ting-ting, what are you doing
in the demonstration?
25
00:02:24,641 --> 00:02:27,212
Siu-hong, look what opium has done to China!
26
00:02:27,277 --> 00:02:28,460
We can’t sit back and do nothing!
27
00:02:39,970 --> 00:02:41,108
Mr. Kiu...
28
00:02:43,573 --> 00:02:44,870
Join us, Siu-hong!
29
00:02:44,931 --> 00:02:45,739
Join us!
30
00:02:46,257 --> 00:02:49,283
Opium will ruin the nation and its people...
31
00:03:00,828 --> 00:03:01,533
Go to Hell!
32
00:03:10,664 --> 00:03:11,881
Stop it!
33
00:03:15,219 --> 00:03:16,004
Bravo!
34
00:03:17,294 --> 00:03:20,992
Take it easy, stop beating him!
35
00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:23,671
He was trying to get a freebie!
He deserved it!
36
00:03:24,143 --> 00:03:25,770
Help me, Father!
37
00:03:25,937 --> 00:03:27,405
You're not leaving until you pay.
38
00:03:27,622 --> 00:03:30,717
I know Hr. KM, take I:...
39
00:03:30,788 --> 00:03:33,041
Everyone in Shanghai knows him.
But does he know you?
40
00:03:35,422 --> 00:03:36,435
I'm taking him with me.
41
00:03:36,546 --> 00:03:38,082
You're not getting away!
42
00:03:39,671 --> 00:03:41,730
Crackdown on drugs...
43
00:03:43,664 --> 00:03:46,008
No...
44
00:03:59,389 --> 00:04:02,404
Crackdown on drugs...
45
00:04:02,462 --> 00:04:04,806
Pay up or you're dead!
46
00:04:07,547 --> 00:04:08,799
They sell opium and beat people up!
47
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:12,647
Stop it! You creeps are lawless!
48
00:04:12,788 --> 00:04:14,768
Don't go easy on these creeps!
49
00:04:14,864 --> 00:04:16,081
Let's burn down this Swallow Nest.
50
00:04:50,313 --> 00:04:51,735
Fix them and put out the fire!
51
00:05:06,268 --> 00:05:07,133
Stop it!
52
00:05:07,391 --> 00:05:10,656
Ma Yee, Brother Tin said
not to hurt the students.
53
00:05:10,791 --> 00:05:11,929
They burnt so much opium,
54
00:05:11,992 --> 00:05:13,084
I must answer to Brother Shan.
55
00:05:15,503 --> 00:05:16,413
Stop it!
56
00:05:16,673 --> 00:05:18,607
Brother Tin said, go easy on the students.
57
00:05:19,184 --> 00:05:21,289
He'll bear full responsibility.
58
00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:23,923
Let them go.
59
00:05:26,227 --> 00:05:27,399
Chi-man!
60
00:05:29,177 --> 00:05:31,794
Scarface, the Police are coming! Go now!
61
00:05:34,854 --> 00:05:36,709
It's OK, you can go!
62
00:05:37,740 --> 00:05:38,798
Let's go!
63
00:05:40,346 --> 00:05:41,313
Father!
64
00:05:42,655 --> 00:05:43,281
Uncle Wah!
65
00:05:43,342 --> 00:05:43,763
Father!
66
00:05:43,785 --> 00:05:45,355
Uncle Wah!
67
00:05:46,101 --> 00:05:46,966
Father!
68
00:05:47,505 --> 00:05:54,047
As long as you're safe!
69
00:05:54,978 --> 00:05:56,321
I'm fine, Father!
70
00:05:58,176 --> 00:05:59,109
Uncle Wah!
71
00:05:59,219 --> 00:06:00,516
Father!
72
00:06:00,826 --> 00:06:01,588
Uncle Wah!
73
00:06:01,653 --> 00:06:02,631
Father!
74
00:06:15,226 --> 00:06:16,398
I have to go now!
75
00:06:16,505 --> 00:06:18,234
Very well, see you!
76
00:06:23,744 --> 00:06:24,996
How did it go?
77
00:06:25,101 --> 00:06:27,399
It's taken care of. The students are gone.
78
00:06:39,862 --> 00:06:42,593
They burnt part of the Swallow Nest,
79
00:06:42,858 --> 00:06:44,997
we lost a few dozen cases of goods.
80
00:06:46,867 --> 00:06:50,235
That's nothing as long as no one is hurt.
81
00:06:52,311 --> 00:06:57,647
When we arrived, the boys were
beating up the students.
82
00:06:57,741 --> 00:06:59,288
After I stopped them,
83
00:06:59,551 --> 00:07:02,486
I found Uncle Wah lying on the ground,
covered with blood.
84
00:07:02,546 --> 00:07:03,843
We rushed him to the hospital,
85
00:07:03,957 --> 00:07:07,120
but...he died before we reached the hospital
86
00:07:11,148 --> 00:07:12,775
You started out working for me,
87
00:07:12,911 --> 00:07:14,288
if no one would tell you, I will.
88
00:07:14,908 --> 00:07:16,967
I'm telling you this because
you're like a son to me.
89
00:07:17,108 --> 00:07:19,782
I don't want to see you go astray.
90
00:07:20,072 --> 00:07:21,722
Nothing good would come to you.
91
00:07:25,190 --> 00:07:26,100
Who did it?
92
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,533
Someone under Brother Shan called Scarface.
93
00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:30,724
He went crazy beating up Uncle Wah.
94
00:07:30,943 --> 00:07:34,811
Uncle Wah was still worried about his son
even when he was dying.
95
00:07:40,117 --> 00:07:42,768
Kuen, take us to Uncle Wah.
96
00:07:43,034 --> 00:07:44,411
No, to Shankeng.
97
00:07:44,952 --> 00:07:45,817
To Shankeng.
98
00:07:53,345 --> 00:07:56,167
(French Concession)
99
00:07:58,025 --> 00:07:59,607
Inspector, we just got word,
100
00:07:59,757 --> 00:08:01,407
you've busted a burglar gang
101
00:08:01,551 --> 00:08:03,565
and retrieved a lot of jewellery.
102
00:08:03,704 --> 00:08:06,924
Inspector, how come you can always
make an arrest and break a case so quickly?
103
00:08:06,948 --> 00:08:07,926
What's your secret?
104
00:08:08,140 --> 00:08:10,643
Under the Chief Inspector's leadership,
105
00:08:10,745 --> 00:08:13,089
we have the highest percentage of
solved cases in the shortest possible time.
106
00:08:13,304 --> 00:08:18,435
That's why he's the highest-ranked Chinese
detective in the French Concession Police.
107
00:08:19,902 --> 00:08:22,405
It's my job to solve the cases.
108
00:08:22,508 --> 00:08:25,284
Burglars are nothing.
109
00:08:25,533 --> 00:08:28,434
When Vice President Song was
assassinated at the train station,
110
00:08:28,544 --> 00:08:32,321
it only took me 5 days to catch the killer.
111
00:08:34,502 --> 00:08:36,721
Who took my parking space?
112
00:08:50,301 --> 00:08:51,803
What's the matter with you?
113
00:08:52,017 --> 00:08:53,724
The Commissioner is back, move the car!
114
00:08:54,056 --> 00:08:55,558
Do I have to do it myself?
115
00:08:56,490 --> 00:09:00,745
I'm sorry I took your place, Mr. Fiori.
116
00:09:01,248 --> 00:09:04,866
I was hounded by reporters
as soon as I got out of the car.
117
00:09:04,976 --> 00:09:06,944
I didn't have time to park it properly.
118
00:09:07,098 --> 00:09:09,430
Are you finished? Move it!
119
00:09:10,175 --> 00:09:11,802
Not quite.
120
00:09:12,094 --> 00:09:16,998
The reporters wanted to know
how powerful I am,
121
00:09:17,131 --> 00:09:19,554
and how I could close a case so quickly.
122
00:09:19,659 --> 00:09:22,947
I told them as long as I'm around,
123
00:09:23,138 --> 00:09:25,516
there'll be peace in the French Concession.
124
00:09:25,617 --> 00:09:27,472
If I want chaos,
125
00:09:27,692 --> 00:09:31,083
I'll just sit on my hands and do nothing.
126
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:33,741
Am I right, Mr. Fiori?
127
00:09:50,588 --> 00:09:52,170
You have such a keen eye, Chief.
128
00:09:52,382 --> 00:09:55,283
The diamond bracelet is the best piece
in the whole lot.
129
00:09:55,471 --> 00:09:56,882
Is that for Miss Yee-hung?
130
00:09:58,747 --> 00:10:00,397
Put that in a nice gift box.
131
00:10:00,507 --> 00:10:01,167
Right!
132
00:10:01,661 --> 00:10:03,720
Divvy up the jewellery!
133
00:10:04,017 --> 00:10:06,429
We're rich...
134
00:10:06,573 --> 00:10:08,473
More to come as you work for Brother Tong.
135
00:10:09,459 --> 00:10:10,881
Divvy them up...
136
00:10:14,497 --> 00:10:17,967
Tim, did you send for Scarface's arrest?
137
00:10:18,974 --> 00:10:20,590
What's going on? He's one of ours.
138
00:10:22,085 --> 00:10:24,474
One of ours? Since when?
139
00:10:24,644 --> 00:10:26,317
He works for Brother Shan.
140
00:10:26,453 --> 00:10:29,320
You know how he is. He'll go crazy!
141
00:10:29,610 --> 00:10:31,874
Do you know what the Chief is thinking?
142
00:10:33,728 --> 00:10:34,945
What's the racket?
143
00:10:35,340 --> 00:10:36,080
Chief!
144
00:10:38,413 --> 00:10:44,307
At the Swallow Nest in the Chinese Territory
some old man was making trouble.
145
00:10:44,387 --> 00:10:47,880
Brother Shan's henchman Scarface
went a bit crazy and killed him.
146
00:10:48,022 --> 00:10:52,676
It's no big deal, but Tim had him arrested.
147
00:10:52,732 --> 00:10:53,278
I'm afraid...
148
00:10:53,371 --> 00:10:55,874
Afraid of what?
A killer must pay with his life.
149
00:10:55,979 --> 00:10:57,708
So what if he works for Kung Siu-shan?
150
00:10:57,897 --> 00:10:59,547
He will be arrested if he's broken the law.
151
00:11:00,737 --> 00:11:02,671
But Brother Shan will be pissed.
152
00:11:02,983 --> 00:11:07,841
Pissed? I want him to know a killer
must pay with his life.
153
00:11:07,944 --> 00:11:11,562
If Kung Siu-shan wants to protect his minion
154
00:11:11,703 --> 00:11:12,841
I'll have him arrested as well.
155
00:11:13,060 --> 00:11:14,869
You get the Chiefs drift?
156
00:11:17,225 --> 00:11:19,671
He has been barking long enough.
157
00:11:20,017 --> 00:11:21,746
I know what he's up to.
158
00:11:22,264 --> 00:11:23,993
He wants to turn against me.
159
00:11:24,136 --> 00:11:27,629
The more he wants to do that,
the more I must pin him down.
160
00:11:41,682 --> 00:11:42,490
Kiu Ngo-tin!
161
00:11:46,268 --> 00:11:46,655
Brother Shan!
162
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:47,334
Mr. Kung!
163
00:11:56,469 --> 00:12:00,531
Tell me, did Chak Kam-tong arrest Scarface?
164
00:12:00,635 --> 00:12:01,420
What?
165
00:12:01,633 --> 00:12:02,805
What?
166
00:12:05,721 --> 00:12:10,420
Not only did he arrest my man,
he intends to pin me down.
167
00:12:10,587 --> 00:12:13,488
He's slighting me by saying that!
He thinks I'm a small time crook?
168
00:12:15,548 --> 00:12:19,610
Fine! It's time I turned against him!
169
00:12:24,799 --> 00:12:27,052
No, Mr. Kung! That's Mr. Chak's favourite!
170
00:12:27,233 --> 00:12:32,899
Really? His favourite?
171
00:12:35,266 --> 00:12:37,018
That's enough!
172
00:12:37,153 --> 00:12:42,842
Me? Listen, without me,
you and Chak Kam-tong have nothing.
173
00:12:43,109 --> 00:12:46,886
I made the connections with the warlords.
That's why Shankeng is rolling in money.
174
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:49,798
Killing an old man is no big deal.
175
00:12:49,949 --> 00:12:52,202
How can he arrest my boy? That's outrageous!
176
00:12:52,336 --> 00:12:53,235
Then what do you want?
177
00:12:55,142 --> 00:12:59,227
Tell him, I should be the Chief!
178
00:12:59,384 --> 00:13:01,398
Either he lets Scarface go right away,
179
00:13:01,537 --> 00:13:04,165
or I'll tear down his Police station
as well as Paramount.
180
00:13:24,782 --> 00:13:32,633
(Shanghai at night...is a sleepless town)
181
00:13:32,739 --> 00:13:36,869
(Lights are on, cars are honking)
182
00:13:36,982 --> 00:13:40,043
(People sing and dance)
183
00:13:41,178 --> 00:13:43,727
(while she greet you with a smile...)
184
00:13:43,785 --> 00:13:49,201
The bracelet is nice,
but the style is not too chic.
185
00:13:49,696 --> 00:13:53,007
It's tacky to wear something like this.
186
00:13:58,589 --> 00:14:02,548
Mr. Chin, that girl's singing is terrible.
187
00:14:02,706 --> 00:14:05,312
Get rid of her and let me sing.
188
00:14:05,577 --> 00:14:08,842
We signed a contract with Little Rose,
189
00:14:08,978 --> 00:14:10,400
I'm afraid Mrs. Chak won't agree.
190
00:14:10,506 --> 00:14:15,433
Right! That hellcat wife of yours
calls the shots in Paramount.
191
00:14:15,576 --> 00:14:16,793
She'd never let me sing in here.
192
00:14:17,822 --> 00:14:24,285
(Reminiscing the night life like a dream...)
193
00:14:35,024 --> 00:14:35,934
Brother Tin!
194
00:14:36,069 --> 00:14:36,774
Boss!
195
00:14:36,912 --> 00:14:38,255
Chief...
196
00:14:39,750 --> 00:14:42,014
We need to talk...
197
00:14:43,026 --> 00:14:47,520
It's late! Chin, take Yee-hung home!
198
00:14:47,628 --> 00:14:48,481
Yes, Chief!
199
00:14:48,897 --> 00:14:50,956
I'll go home alone again?
200
00:15:01,502 --> 00:15:07,248
Boss, the goods that were burnt, I think...
201
00:15:07,460 --> 00:15:12,239
Chief, it's the students from the
National University who burnt our goods.
202
00:15:12,375 --> 00:15:18,428
National University? Burn it down!
203
00:15:19,613 --> 00:15:21,001
Burn the university?
204
00:15:21,266 --> 00:15:23,769
They burnt my goods on my turf.
205
00:15:23,855 --> 00:15:26,677
If I don't teach them a lesson,
Shankeng will lose face.
206
00:15:26,897 --> 00:15:29,616
You can’t do that, Boss!
207
00:15:29,730 --> 00:15:30,470
Why not?
208
00:15:30,978 --> 00:15:33,504
Everyone is talking about banning opium.
209
00:15:33,614 --> 00:15:36,902
Even the new government is using that
to establish their credibility.
210
00:15:37,296 --> 00:15:40,914
We'll incur public wrath if we
burn the university.
211
00:15:41,054 --> 00:15:45,628
The new government will think
were out of control,
212
00:15:46,016 --> 00:15:48,667
and it'll be hard for us to get
a foothold in Shanghai.
213
00:15:48,730 --> 00:15:51,028
You always have a reason.
214
00:15:51,210 --> 00:15:53,224
Who'll pay for our loss?
215
00:15:53,893 --> 00:15:57,955
Let me pay for it!
216
00:15:58,609 --> 00:16:00,919
You'd better tell Shan about this.
217
00:16:01,729 --> 00:16:04,471
I don't think he'll swallow that so easily.
218
00:16:04,568 --> 00:16:07,162
He just threw a fit at the office.
219
00:16:07,298 --> 00:16:10,233
He trashed your picture
and broke your favourite vase.
220
00:16:10,574 --> 00:16:13,066
What? Has he gone mad?
221
00:16:13,335 --> 00:16:14,222
I think he's...
222
00:16:14,380 --> 00:16:19,113
You're so nosy! No, we had a fight.
223
00:16:19,217 --> 00:16:20,469
He threw something at me,
224
00:16:20,621 --> 00:16:22,396
I dodged and he hit the picture.
225
00:16:23,382 --> 00:16:25,760
He's just trying to pick a fight with me,
226
00:16:25,863 --> 00:16:28,560
because he wouldn't acknowledge me as Chief.
227
00:16:29,461 --> 00:16:31,008
Chin, come here...
228
00:16:31,146 --> 00:16:31,931
Yes, Chief?
229
00:16:32,986 --> 00:16:37,765
Yee-hung likes to sing and her birthday
is this Sunday.
230
00:16:37,790 --> 00:16:41,681
Book Paramount for the night
and let her sing.
231
00:16:42,751 --> 00:16:47,917
Tin, you have good connections,
make all the arrangements for me.
232
00:16:48,024 --> 00:16:53,565
Chief, Brother Tin promised Director Hung
to host a fundraising gala that night.
233
00:16:53,828 --> 00:16:55,637
Reschedule it!
234
00:16:55,747 --> 00:17:01,959
I want you to invite everyone
who's anyone in Shanghai.
235
00:17:02,313 --> 00:17:05,920
I want Kung Siu-shan to
apologise to me in public.
236
00:17:06,105 --> 00:17:09,302
He'll be slighting me if he doesn't show up
237
00:17:09,435 --> 00:17:10,857
and I'll fix him.
238
00:17:11,666 --> 00:17:12,497
Yes, Chief...
239
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,097
What now, Brother Tin?
240
00:17:17,266 --> 00:17:20,145
All the guests at the gala are confirmed.
We can’t change it.
241
00:17:20,279 --> 00:17:23,089
He specifically asked for Brother Shan.
242
00:17:23,274 --> 00:17:24,764
At this critical juncture, they'll end up
in a big fight.
243
00:17:24,905 --> 00:17:27,476
At least nothing will happen tonight.
244
00:17:28,181 --> 00:17:29,159
Take me to Uncle Wah.
245
00:17:29,661 --> 00:17:32,130
We sent the body back like you wanted.
246
00:17:46,821 --> 00:17:51,054
(Chinese Territory)
247
00:18:12,542 --> 00:18:13,680
What are you doing here?
248
00:18:13,790 --> 00:18:17,397
Mrs. Chu, Brother Tin will give Uncle Wah
a grand funeral.
249
00:18:17,456 --> 00:18:18,958
Please don't worry about the money.
250
00:18:19,656 --> 00:18:22,159
I don't want your money!
251
00:18:22,340 --> 00:18:24,274
Money won't bring him back!
252
00:18:25,257 --> 00:18:29,000
Little rascal! If you'd never got into
the opium trade,
253
00:18:29,018 --> 00:18:33,353
Kit would not have become an addict
and his Father beaten to death.
254
00:18:34,803 --> 00:18:41,664
Wah said nothing good will come to
those around you.
255
00:18:43,648 --> 00:18:48,347
I just didn't expect it'd be him.
256
00:18:49,037 --> 00:18:51,096
Get out! I want you to leave!
257
00:18:51,159 --> 00:18:51,864
Mrs. Chu...
258
00:18:52,001 --> 00:18:53,139
Please calm down!
259
00:18:53,234 --> 00:18:53,814
Have a seat!
260
00:18:53,916 --> 00:18:54,337
Mother!
261
00:18:54,478 --> 00:18:55,570
Help her sit down!
262
00:19:01,279 --> 00:19:02,246
Don't be so upset!
263
00:19:26,997 --> 00:19:29,671
Tin, stay and keep your feet on the ground.
264
00:19:29,882 --> 00:19:31,737
Why must you venture into the world?
265
00:19:31,848 --> 00:19:33,703
I'm saying this only because
you're like a son to me.
266
00:19:33,846 --> 00:19:36,747
You've been with me for so long,
I don't want to see you go astray.
267
00:19:36,888 --> 00:19:38,492
Nothing good will come out of it.
268
00:19:50,321 --> 00:19:51,106
Contain your grief.
269
00:19:51,211 --> 00:19:51,746
Get out!
270
00:19:51,881 --> 00:19:52,347
Mother!
271
00:19:52,490 --> 00:19:54,026
Get out...
272
00:19:54,081 --> 00:19:56,300
No, Mother! No...
273
00:21:22,001 --> 00:21:27,724
Get up, Honey! It's late.
274
00:21:29,316 --> 00:21:30,249
What time is it?
275
00:21:30,798 --> 00:21:32,050
Almost 9 o'clock.
276
00:21:57,067 --> 00:22:00,662
The English tutor is going home to England.
277
00:22:00,874 --> 00:22:02,808
I want to hire someone else, OK?
278
00:22:02,917 --> 00:22:04,089
I'll let you decide.
279
00:22:13,120 --> 00:22:16,442
Little rascal! If you'd never got into
the opium trade,
280
00:22:16,676 --> 00:22:20,931
Kit would not have become an addict
and his Father beaten to death.
281
00:22:21,309 --> 00:22:27,533
Wah said nothing good would come to
those around you.
282
00:22:29,468 --> 00:22:31,015
I don't want it.
283
00:22:31,995 --> 00:22:34,771
You have a lot to do today.
You'll need the energy.
284
00:22:35,193 --> 00:22:36,285
I don't want to.
285
00:22:54,710 --> 00:22:57,054
(Chinese Territory)
286
00:22:58,157 --> 00:23:00,330
Father, I've figured it out.
287
00:23:00,716 --> 00:23:01,524
What?
288
00:23:01,839 --> 00:23:04,217
You said you needed a loan
for the cotton mill.
289
00:23:04,273 --> 00:23:07,049
Ting-tings uncle is the Assistant Director
of Yik Sun Bank.
290
00:23:07,183 --> 00:23:12,257
He knows our cotton mill is big in Shanghai,
so he promised he'll get us a loan.
291
00:23:12,784 --> 00:23:15,606
No need. Mr. Kiu has lent me money already.
292
00:23:15,715 --> 00:23:19,288
Mr. Kiu? You mean Kiu Ngo-tin of Shankeng?
293
00:23:19,658 --> 00:23:20,693
You know him?
294
00:23:20,937 --> 00:23:22,154
Not really!
295
00:23:22,419 --> 00:23:23,887
I met him for the first time yesterday.
296
00:23:24,057 --> 00:23:28,005
But I know his accountant,
so I asked him to find out for me.
297
00:23:28,221 --> 00:23:30,155
I didn't expect he'd say "yes" right away.
298
00:23:30,297 --> 00:23:34,632
We run a proper business,
why get involved with a gangster?
299
00:23:34,821 --> 00:23:38,007
So? He's not asking me
to do anything illegal.
300
00:23:38,659 --> 00:23:41,435
You're saying power is all that matters.
301
00:23:41,544 --> 00:23:42,796
Then why should I waste my time
studying law?
302
00:23:42,823 --> 00:23:43,961
Why bother to be a lawyer?
303
00:23:44,071 --> 00:23:45,368
It's a separate matter.
304
00:23:45,506 --> 00:23:48,771
You rely on the law when there's peace.
305
00:23:48,829 --> 00:23:50,240
In today's Shanghai,
306
00:23:50,342 --> 00:23:53,164
you can’t survive without connections
with someone powerful.
307
00:23:53,540 --> 00:23:57,238
I only know there's a price for everything.
It's not that simple, Father!
308
00:23:57,626 --> 00:23:59,230
Everything will be fine.
309
00:24:06,097 --> 00:24:06,928
Ting-ting!
310
00:24:07,657 --> 00:24:11,355
I'm sorry about the loan.
Will your uncle be upset?
311
00:24:11,978 --> 00:24:15,039
Not over something like this.
He's an old friend.
312
00:24:16,298 --> 00:24:19,484
Please put in a few good words for me
with Counsellor Cheuk...
313
00:24:19,742 --> 00:24:20,994
Is that Kiu Ngo-tin?
314
00:24:21,099 --> 00:24:22,066
I'll do my best.
315
00:24:22,737 --> 00:24:23,909
I'll wait to hear the good news.
316
00:24:23,985 --> 00:24:26,158
Even the director of a bank
would curry favour with him.
317
00:24:26,262 --> 00:24:27,309
He really owns Shanghai?
318
00:24:27,572 --> 00:24:28,915
Watch your step!
319
00:24:34,062 --> 00:24:37,953
Director Hung doesn't sound like
we can reschedule.
320
00:24:38,617 --> 00:24:41,552
It wasn't easy to invite Counsellor Cheuk
to the fundraising gala.
321
00:24:41,690 --> 00:24:42,987
What a waste of time!
322
00:24:43,172 --> 00:24:46,517
Where are we going to find so many
respectable and famous people?
323
00:24:46,705 --> 00:24:47,672
And what if Shan...
324
00:24:47,781 --> 00:24:50,352
I want answers, not questions.
325
00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:52,085
Who can give us any answers?
326
00:24:54,348 --> 00:24:55,042
Tin!
327
00:25:01,950 --> 00:25:05,113
Mei-kam! Have a seat!
328
00:25:07,190 --> 00:25:09,329
Thanks for the donation to the Refuge House.
329
00:25:09,421 --> 00:25:10,684
It was nothing.
330
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:13,959
You haven't been over for dinner in a while.
331
00:25:14,100 --> 00:25:15,955
You must bring Yuet-lan with you tonight.
332
00:25:16,065 --> 00:25:17,590
I'll prepare her favourite drunken chicken.
333
00:25:18,218 --> 00:25:21,609
You make the best drunken chicken.
334
00:25:24,709 --> 00:25:27,679
Maybe some other time, not tonight.
335
00:25:27,775 --> 00:25:31,166
Why? Shankeng is running like clockwork.
336
00:25:31,301 --> 00:25:32,439
Why can't you drop by for dinner?
337
00:25:34,265 --> 00:25:38,327
Actually, I need a favour.
338
00:25:39,101 --> 00:25:39,886
What is it?
339
00:25:40,459 --> 00:25:42,473
It's about Brother Shan.
340
00:25:48,337 --> 00:25:51,272
Chak Kam-tong sent this invitation.
341
00:25:51,457 --> 00:25:52,754
He wanted to make sure you'd be there.
342
00:25:52,783 --> 00:25:54,558
At this critical juncture? Why bother?
343
00:25:54,733 --> 00:25:56,918
Something is not right, Brother Shan.
344
00:25:57,210 --> 00:26:00,089
Since he sent the invitation, I'll go.
345
00:26:00,257 --> 00:26:02,476
(Sun Sun Club)
346
00:26:09,304 --> 00:26:10,271
Mrs. Kung...
347
00:26:12,097 --> 00:26:12,837
Mrs. Kung!
348
00:26:13,455 --> 00:26:18,074
Scarface will be a good excuse
to test each other's clout.
349
00:26:18,587 --> 00:26:22,876
I want him to know
when it comes to fighting.
350
00:26:23,017 --> 00:26:24,997
I outnumber him.
351
00:26:30,303 --> 00:26:34,365
I'll get all the boys down to Paramount.
352
00:26:34,468 --> 00:26:37,483
If he doesn't hand over Scarface,
353
00:26:37,666 --> 00:26:39,350
I'll humiliate him by
pulling the rug from under him.
354
00:26:44,654 --> 00:26:45,405
Mrs. Kung!
355
00:26:45,467 --> 00:26:46,229
Mrs. Kung!
356
00:26:47,386 --> 00:26:48,990
I need a word with Brother Shan.
357
00:26:52,661 --> 00:26:54,368
How come you're not at the Refuge House?
358
00:26:54,423 --> 00:26:55,208
What are you doing here?
359
00:26:56,138 --> 00:26:58,812
I know you don't want me to know
what goes on outside.
360
00:26:58,868 --> 00:27:00,836
But Tin came to see me just now.
361
00:27:00,943 --> 00:27:03,321
He said you trashed up the office
at Shankeng,
362
00:27:03,548 --> 00:27:06,848
and claimed to have a bone to pick
with the Chief.
363
00:27:06,986 --> 00:27:09,489
You plan to crash Yee-hung's birthday party?
364
00:27:10,153 --> 00:27:14,169
You all worked hard to build the business.
You really won't show him any regard?
365
00:27:17,033 --> 00:27:19,479
It's not that big a deal!
366
00:27:19,716 --> 00:27:21,889
He has been riding me for years.
367
00:27:22,102 --> 00:27:27,268
I only want him to know
I'm every bit his equal today.
368
00:27:27,740 --> 00:27:32,519
Tin came to see me. It's not that simple.
369
00:27:33,058 --> 00:27:35,789
It's because of the old man.
370
00:27:38,991 --> 00:27:43,155
He was a country bumpkin who couldn't
even speak Shanghainese.
371
00:27:43,296 --> 00:27:45,993
Now he speaks out of turn!
372
00:27:46,176 --> 00:27:47,985
I'm your husband.
373
00:27:48,142 --> 00:27:49,792
You should listen to me, not him.
374
00:27:51,407 --> 00:27:52,499
Tin would not lie to me.
375
00:27:52,608 --> 00:27:55,418
And I'm telling you it's fine.
376
00:27:55,728 --> 00:27:56,945
When have I ever lied to you?
377
00:27:58,442 --> 00:28:02,140
I learnt my lesson and I'm smarter now.
378
00:28:02,249 --> 00:28:04,183
Nothing happened to me
these past few years.
379
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,537
You must promise me you won't
go to Paramount that day.
380
00:28:10,251 --> 00:28:13,494
Fine! I promise I won't go!
381
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,229
Not even if they'd carry me
in an 8-men sedan chair, alright?
382
00:28:20,356 --> 00:28:22,290
Who are the guests? Show me the list.
383
00:28:23,477 --> 00:28:26,617
Good, everyone is well respected.
384
00:28:27,051 --> 00:28:29,099
We can listen to Yee-hung sing
385
00:28:29,251 --> 00:28:31,936
and raise money for the
National Founding Fund.
386
00:28:32,245 --> 00:28:34,339
Killing two birds with one stone. Why not?
387
00:28:34,850 --> 00:28:38,138
Moving your gala to Paramount is brilliant!
388
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,497
Both events will have a good turnout
389
00:28:42,651 --> 00:28:45,257
and you found a gimmick for
the new government.
390
00:28:45,486 --> 00:28:49,059
A win-win situation for all...
How thoughtful!
391
00:28:49,683 --> 00:28:53,495
But in the presence of the
distinguished guests,
392
00:28:53,646 --> 00:28:55,250
what if Brother Shan shows up
and start trouble?
393
00:28:55,362 --> 00:28:56,534
Good!
394
00:28:57,639 --> 00:29:00,108
I want him to apologise to me in public
395
00:29:00,275 --> 00:29:04,655
and let the world know I'm the real Chief
of Shanghai.
396
00:29:06,773 --> 00:29:08,377
I'll check on Yee-hung.
397
00:29:22,327 --> 00:29:25,592
(Don't be a hypocrite)
398
00:29:25,778 --> 00:29:29,794
(Why be a hypocrite?)
399
00:29:30,131 --> 00:29:33,681
(You want to take a peek...)
400
00:29:54,464 --> 00:29:55,272
Is everyone here?
401
00:29:55,385 --> 00:29:56,045
Yes!
402
00:29:56,180 --> 00:29:57,887
Brother Shan will go in with us.
403
00:29:58,099 --> 00:30:02,320
If Chak Kam-tong won't hand over Scarface,
I'll fire a shot.
404
00:30:02,507 --> 00:30:05,397
When you hear the gunshot,
barge inside right away, understand?
405
00:30:05,533 --> 00:30:06,841
Yes...
406
00:30:09,101 --> 00:30:10,683
Bring us some wine!
407
00:30:10,771 --> 00:30:11,476
Right!
408
00:30:11,738 --> 00:30:13,991
Let Brother Tin try my private collection.
409
00:30:14,062 --> 00:30:14,676
Sure!
410
00:30:37,215 --> 00:30:38,797
I'm sorry, Brother Shan.
411
00:30:38,931 --> 00:30:42,162
This is our own turf.
Please leave your weapons behind.
412
00:30:42,256 --> 00:30:42,916
Go away!
413
00:30:46,905 --> 00:30:47,997
Brother Shan...
414
00:30:48,543 --> 00:30:53,447
(...rolling your eyes,
and you keep stealing glances...)
415
00:31:00,227 --> 00:31:02,958
(Oh how embarrassing...)
416
00:31:09,260 --> 00:31:12,753
What a great turnout!
Distinguished guests...
417
00:31:12,865 --> 00:31:14,959
Kung Siu-shan, what are you doing?
418
00:31:16,016 --> 00:31:20,328
Today it's your mistress' birthday,
419
00:31:20,509 --> 00:31:25,640
a minion like me wants to make a toast.
420
00:31:25,734 --> 00:31:27,759
Come on, everyone!
421
00:31:32,289 --> 00:31:35,350
How can you serve your guests
with this bitter stuff?
422
00:31:35,487 --> 00:31:36,397
You want to be a clown?
423
00:31:36,417 --> 00:31:36,861
Drag him offstage!
424
00:31:36,923 --> 00:31:37,424
Yes!
425
00:31:38,686 --> 00:31:40,586
Who do you think you are? Get lost!
426
00:31:46,543 --> 00:31:48,841
Kung Siu-shan, what do you want?
427
00:31:50,818 --> 00:31:54,789
I'm straight as an arrow.
428
00:31:54,974 --> 00:31:58,626
Something is eating me inside
and I want to get it off my chest.
429
00:31:59,248 --> 00:32:03,503
I'll level with you,
you'd better let Scarface go.
430
00:32:03,694 --> 00:32:05,150
Why should I?
431
00:32:14,460 --> 00:32:15,916
Is that a "no"?
432
00:32:16,254 --> 00:32:19,349
I'm capable of anything when I'm angry.
Don't push me.
433
00:32:19,576 --> 00:32:22,637
Don't forget I own Paramount!
434
00:32:22,977 --> 00:32:24,194
Trying to pull the rug from under me?
435
00:32:24,256 --> 00:32:25,428
Yes, so what?
436
00:32:42,149 --> 00:32:43,366
Trying to pull the rug from under me?
437
00:32:43,397 --> 00:32:44,410
Yes, so what?
438
00:32:50,152 --> 00:32:53,292
Boss, let me...
439
00:32:59,197 --> 00:33:01,165
You have a lot of men outside?
440
00:33:03,629 --> 00:33:05,131
Yes, what of it?
441
00:33:07,714 --> 00:33:10,604
There's someone I'd like you to meet.
442
00:33:12,142 --> 00:33:14,918
Is Counsellor Cheuk worth your time?
443
00:33:33,825 --> 00:33:36,123
Boss, let's get off the stage.
444
00:33:44,151 --> 00:33:48,293
Welcome, Counsellor Cheuk!
Let me introduce you...
445
00:33:48,427 --> 00:33:50,486
This is Mr. Chak Kam-tong
446
00:33:50,829 --> 00:33:52,718
and Mr. Kung Siu-shan.
447
00:33:53,154 --> 00:33:57,113
Mr. Cheuk is a counsellor to
Chairman Chiang.
448
00:33:57,224 --> 00:33:59,124
Of course you know Director Hung.
449
00:33:59,471 --> 00:34:00,802
Nice to meet you!
450
00:34:01,031 --> 00:34:03,170
Your reputation precedes you, gentlemen!
451
00:34:03,309 --> 00:34:05,038
Thank you for coming, Counsellor Cheuk!
452
00:34:05,150 --> 00:34:12,682
Without the support of the Shankeng Company
we'd never be able to raise so much money.
453
00:34:12,981 --> 00:34:15,200
Don't mention it. It's my honour.
454
00:34:15,821 --> 00:34:19,280
Look at the turnout, the party must be
a success.
455
00:34:19,626 --> 00:34:23,199
It's not easy to hear Miss Chuk sing again.
456
00:34:23,387 --> 00:34:27,574
Of course we must show up to root for her
and help celebrate her birthday.
457
00:34:28,068 --> 00:34:29,797
Please have a seat over here.
458
00:34:29,877 --> 00:34:30,491
Sure!
459
00:34:30,595 --> 00:34:31,482
Please be seated.
460
00:34:40,752 --> 00:34:45,087
(Rose, Rose, you are so charming!)
461
00:34:45,276 --> 00:34:49,406
(Rose, Rose you are so beautiful!)
462
00:34:49,598 --> 00:34:53,694
(Blooming in spring and summer)
463
00:34:53,798 --> 00:34:57,996
(Rose, Rose, I love you!)
464
00:35:05,183 --> 00:35:06,150
Brother Shan!
465
00:35:08,209 --> 00:35:09,244
What now?
466
00:35:09,535 --> 00:35:11,435
Just checking up on you.
467
00:35:13,287 --> 00:35:16,143
You set me up!
468
00:35:17,125 --> 00:35:21,619
But I introduced you to Counsellor Cheuk!
469
00:35:22,209 --> 00:35:24,826
You're such a sweet talker!
470
00:35:25,095 --> 00:35:29,976
How dare you lie to my men
and told them Chak Kam-tong let Scarface go!
471
00:35:30,322 --> 00:35:32,074
Where is he?
472
00:35:35,282 --> 00:35:42,427
Not now, but I'll make it happen!
I won't let you lose face.
473
00:35:43,534 --> 00:35:44,945
You said it!
474
00:35:50,649 --> 00:35:51,627
Watch your step!
475
00:35:54,362 --> 00:35:59,027
Bravo, Brother Shan...
476
00:35:59,134 --> 00:36:01,660
Bravo, Brother Shan, Chak Kam-tong
had to let Scarface go.
477
00:36:01,849 --> 00:36:03,544
As soon as Brother Shan shows up,
478
00:36:03,843 --> 00:36:05,618
Chak Kam-tong had to comply...
479
00:36:05,809 --> 00:36:07,698
Bravo, Brother Shan...
480
00:36:07,963 --> 00:36:13,652
Bravo, Brother Shan...
481
00:36:31,639 --> 00:36:37,419
(A change of pace, a new environment)
482
00:36:37,778 --> 00:36:44,150
(Reminiscing the night life like a dream)
483
00:37:14,065 --> 00:37:15,692
Good show today.
484
00:37:19,027 --> 00:37:22,600
I donated 100,000 silver dollars
in Shankeng's name.
485
00:37:22,786 --> 00:37:25,972
Not a problem. The government is happy,
Yee-hung is happy.
486
00:37:26,545 --> 00:37:28,525
If we can't part with our money,
487
00:37:28,637 --> 00:37:30,571
the government will think
we'll not patriotic enough.
488
00:37:33,146 --> 00:37:35,763
Come back...fix him!
489
00:37:38,356 --> 00:37:44,409
If you want peace, it's best
you let Scarface go.
490
00:37:44,879 --> 00:37:48,964
No way! That mad dog tried to
pull the rug from under me.
491
00:37:49,465 --> 00:37:53,777
You know he's pigheaded.
492
00:37:53,864 --> 00:37:56,208
Everything will be fine if you
release Scarface.
493
00:37:56,313 --> 00:37:57,644
Fine for him, but not for me!
494
00:38:02,761 --> 00:38:03,648
You?
495
00:38:06,162 --> 00:38:09,655
The government is newly set up.
496
00:38:09,844 --> 00:38:12,324
They don't want chaos in Shanghai.
497
00:38:12,865 --> 00:38:15,562
As long as the company keeps making money,
498
00:38:15,673 --> 00:38:17,528
I guarantee he'll behave.
499
00:38:19,948 --> 00:38:24,920
After all, you're the Chief, right?
500
00:38:27,030 --> 00:38:29,658
Fine! Keep him on a short leash.
501
00:38:30,026 --> 00:38:32,495
If he starts anything, I'll shoot him.
502
00:38:34,947 --> 00:38:36,164
Who are you?
503
00:38:36,351 --> 00:38:39,036
You killed my Father! I want you dead!
504
00:38:41,576 --> 00:38:43,249
You're Uncle Wah's son!
505
00:38:45,383 --> 00:38:47,875
So Scarface killed Uncle Wah!
506
00:38:50,669 --> 00:38:51,409
Take him with us.
507
00:38:59,296 --> 00:39:00,161
Hon-lam!
508
00:39:00,341 --> 00:39:01,228
Brother Tin!
509
00:39:02,182 --> 00:39:03,115
Is something wrong?
510
00:39:03,383 --> 00:39:04,270
Kit is in trouble.
511
00:39:25,886 --> 00:39:27,433
You know why I'm beating you up?
512
00:39:28,086 --> 00:39:32,148
Not because you threw a rock at me
and broke my car window.
513
00:39:33,094 --> 00:39:37,201
But because I know he'll come to your rescue
514
00:39:52,785 --> 00:39:55,277
Stop it! You want to kill him?
515
00:39:56,061 --> 00:40:02,194
I forgot! He's yours. I can’t beat him up.
516
00:40:04,780 --> 00:40:05,747
What do you want?
517
00:40:07,573 --> 00:40:08,631
What do you think?
518
00:40:09,179 --> 00:40:09,759
Let him go!
519
00:40:09,850 --> 00:40:11,272
I'll beat up whoever stands in my way.
520
00:40:32,231 --> 00:40:34,006
You know about me and Uncle Wah.
521
00:40:34,274 --> 00:40:35,958
I'm taking him with me even if it kills me.
522
00:40:36,271 --> 00:40:38,968
You're standing up for him?
And Chak Kam-tong too?
523
00:40:39,218 --> 00:40:40,401
You used my wife to lean on me.
524
00:40:40,513 --> 00:40:41,765
You took his side to oppose me.
525
00:40:41,870 --> 00:40:42,962
Am I not your brother?
526
00:40:43,229 --> 00:40:46,324
If you're not, I would not have done
so much for you.
527
00:40:46,661 --> 00:40:50,359
Like what? Gang up with Chak Kam-tong
to humiliate me?
528
00:40:50,462 --> 00:40:51,918
I'm still pissed as Hell!
529
00:40:52,022 --> 00:40:53,729
How did I manage that?
530
00:40:54,019 --> 00:40:57,410
Does Scarface really mean so much to you?
He's just your excuse to go crazy!
531
00:40:57,700 --> 00:41:00,146
I kept my mouth shut and put up with you.
532
00:41:00,259 --> 00:41:02,193
I'm doing this for Shankeng and for you!
533
00:41:02,349 --> 00:41:04,033
How do you square that away?
534
00:41:04,381 --> 00:41:07,567
Look who's counting! I brought you
under my wings.
535
00:41:07,704 --> 00:41:09,559
I watched your back all these years.
536
00:41:09,873 --> 00:41:12,092
I lost my son because of you.
537
00:41:12,229 --> 00:41:13,196
Who's counting now?
538
00:41:14,585 --> 00:41:16,314
I don't care. I'm taking him with me.
539
00:41:16,628 --> 00:41:19,893
You can take his body with you.
540
00:41:21,511 --> 00:41:23,013
You'll have to kill me first.
541
00:41:24,777 --> 00:41:27,963
Go ahead, shoot me!
Then I'm through with you.
542
00:41:38,375 --> 00:41:41,310
Kiu Ngo-tin, I'm warning you.
543
00:41:41,449 --> 00:41:44,510
No matter what happens next,
you'd better be on my side.
544
00:41:44,644 --> 00:41:46,271
Or else don't blame me.
545
00:42:12,637 --> 00:42:15,208
Brother Tin, I'm such a loser.
546
00:42:18,721 --> 00:42:20,348
This is not how you take revenge.
547
00:42:24,882 --> 00:42:25,895
Take him to the hospital.
548
00:42:28,401 --> 00:42:29,869
Be careful...
549
00:42:48,881 --> 00:42:51,145
Nothing comes cheap in this world.
550
00:42:51,362 --> 00:42:56,141
One must repay a debt,
with money or with his life.
551
00:43:14,418 --> 00:43:18,958
Don't worry, Uncle Wah. I'll keep
and eye on Kit and his mother.
