Original subtitles

This is the Papaver Orientale... the poppy,

a plant which grows every other year

lt has long, saw-toothed oval shaped leaves

...and scarlet or purple flowers

When a poppy turns ripe,

a white resin like substance gushes out,

which on aeration turns black

This is the raw material for making opium.

Hardworking poppy growers...

eke out a meagre existence

But the dealers in opium

...make a fortune out of it

They purchase it cheaply...

and use it to make morphine and heroin

This is then transferred to all parts of the world

Nobody cares for a losing business;

But as long as it can make money...

...most would stick their neck out...

for something that's highly profitable

So people get together and form different rings

to smuggle this illicit commodity

Double crossing is not an exception...

and so are floating bodies!

Goods are airlifted or shipped

Those airlifted are dropped at sea

...to be picked up by boat

Those shipped are delivered to a designated spot

But the smugglers always get caught

...in the meshes of the law

There's a saying: A man dies for money

A bird dies for food

See how these unscrupulous traffickers

...scheme against each other

How they play around!

Big boss, we didn't expect this

Fools! You're good for nothing

You're a bunch of fools

Do you think it could be Grace Chen?

Miss, do you want to buy shoes?

l'm just looking

How's this pair?

lt's okay

Not bad

Quite nice

How much is it?

A hundred and twenty

l'll take them

Don't move

Let's go

Big boss, we've got the girl

Alright

9 points. The banker pays

What are you doing?

Let me go

Let me go

Who are you?

l can't tell you

We don't use our real names

l'm Ling Ling here

Call me Ling Ling

Miss Ling Ling, you've made a mistake

l'm not Grace Chen. l'm Louisa Lai

lf you don't belive me...

get my driving licence and see

Louisa Lai

We probably are wrong

Why didn't you show us this earlier?

l was frightened out of my mind

But l still can't let you go

Big boss will be here in a minute

lf we are wrong, he'll apologise to you

What does your Big boss do?

l don't mind telling you

We operate a drug ring and running into trouble lately

Big boss suspected that...

Grace Chen is the informer

He didn't intend to harm her

...but only to question her

Boss wants to know where she gets her information

Even if l were Grace Chen...

you didn't have to tie me up like this

We had a bet

They said your bust was false

l didn't agree, therefore l wanted to find out

You

Don't! Don't!

Don't do that

So it's real

Don't do that, l beg you

l am not a man. Don't be shy

They said your walk shows...

you're shaved

l want to find out

Don't!

Not bad. lt's God's masterpiece

Who is it?

lt's me

Don't open the door

Don't open the door

Big boss wants to apologise for the mistake

But he also wants to sleep with you

What?

He'll pay you $5,000...

and then send you home when it's over

What do you think l am?

Big boss admires you

He wouldn't take me. How do you think?

You all are simply outrageous

Do you want a carrot or a stick?

When Big boss comes in,

you better be nice to him, or...

l'll give you an injection

Then tie a stone up on your body

...and fling you into the sea

How's it going?

lt's fixed. Where's the money?

What do you think?

lt's not romantic. l was scared to death

That makes it more exciting

Don't worry, l'll be nice to you

But l'm being unfaithful to my husband

Besides my husband,

you're the only man l've been with

How do l compare with your husband?

He gives me love but you only want sex

l don't want sex with anyone l don't like

lf l don't like her, l won't love her

l'll love you

ls Big boss here?

He's inside

Who is it?

Your wife is here

Madam

Where is big boss?

He's in the club

No more bets

Bet, Bet

Okay

The banker wins

Bet, Bet

Brother, Louisa Lai's waiting for you

Okay

Who is it?

lt's me

What is it? An erotic movie?

Don't you like it?

Yes, of course

But l've seen too many of them, same old stuff

l'm sure you wouldn't have seen this before

Okay

Let's have a live show first...

before watching the movie

Damn you

How do l compare with your wife?

She's no match from you

She's loose and plain

You're tight, warm, soft and smooth

You're a liar, if she's no good

Why are you so afraid of her?

For the money. She was Big boss's mistress

Big boss? Aren't you Big boss?

Big boss got life imprisonment,

so then l became Big boss

l see

So you own everything he had

And his mistress...

has become your wife

She's small where it should be big,

and big where it should be small

l can't do anything

She's got the money so people listen to her

Some day when the power...

is in my hand

lt'll be a different story

Why did you switch off the light?

So we can see the movie

What is it?

Who shoots this film?

lt came by parcel post this morning

l thought one of my friends had sent it

Didn't think l'll see myself in the film

Can't be that simple

ls there any letter?

There is a letter

lt's not a threat or blackmail

lt says that you and l can enjoy this

lt's also a payment for our fine acting

And if you don't mind,

There's a copy for your wife too

Never thought l'd be blackmailed

Alright, speak up... how much do you want?

lt's not my business

l'm not part of them

Alright, what's the difference?

l've had many experiences

But never imagined l'd be the one

Don't misunderstand, l'm just the go-between

They said you have an agreement with your wife

That if either of you has an affair...

you will separate immediately

And all assets will go to the innocent party

So what?

So they said this deal...

will go no less than 4 million

What?

4 million

4 million?

4 million

4 million means peace in 4 seasons.

You must know all men are brothers

Since you got all the money from your boss

after he was sentenced to 30 years in jail

As your wife,

you took over her as well

l think you should take care of your men

What if l refuse?

Then you really will be in trouble

Alright

Here are two signed blank cheques

Fill in the amount you want

You better stay alert

Don't blame me if anything happens

Sure, but l want one with security

What do you mean?

l want a check from your personal account

My own account?

That needs my wife's signature as well

You sign your name first

ln case they can't cash-in your check,

they'll get your wife to sign hers

What? You expect her to sign it? Dream away

So it won't harm you to sign another one

What're you afraid of?

Ok, l'll sign

But let's make this thing clear

l want all the prints and negatives

Of course, it's ''cash on delivery''

How do l compare with your wife?

She's no match from you

She's loose and plain

You're tight, warm, soft and smooth

You're a liar. lf she's no good...

why are you so afraid of her?

For the money. She was Big boss's mistress

Big boss? Aren't you Big boss?

Big boss got life imprisonment,

so then l became Big boss

l see

So you own everything he had

And his mistress...

has become your wife

She's small where it should be big,

and big where it should be small

l can't do anything

She's got the money so people listen to her

Some day when the power...

is in my hands

lt'll be a different story

Damn him!

Ungrateful bastard

He's taken all the jewels,

greenbacks and stocks

Now he's getting at me

l'll get him for this

Madam, don't get mad

Can't you see the truth?

He's a gentleman on the surface

But really he's mean and nasty

Since you have the proof now,

why not tell him to leave at once?

Take it easy

Legally a tape can't serve as proof

Adulterers must be caught in the act

We must catch him unawares

How?

l know big boss has a date with Louisa

...on Easter night

We'll lie to her that big boss...

wants her to wait in the other room

Then we take off her clothes

...and let you put them on

Then l'll tell him Louisa is waiting for him

The signal is three long and two short knocks

ln the darkness he won't suspect

He should think you are Louisa

After he's finished...

We turn the light on

He wouldn't be able to deny it

Good. l'll see that he suffers on Easter

lsn't madam great?

No, she's far inferior to me

Bluffing

This girl has got a good figure

She's no match for you

How can l compete with her?

l am sloppy and plain

She's tight, warm, soft and smooth

Who said so?

l can see it at once

Go and tell Louisa to get ready

Take her upstairs

Okay

Big boss wants you to wait upstairs

Ok, l'll go up now

Wait here, l'll tell him you're here

Okay

Dance with Ling Ling. l'll be back

This is big boss's wife

You're Louisa Lai?

Yes, l'm Louisa Lai

You're our present boss's wife

and the ex-boss's concubine

How dare you?

You bitch, how dare you mock me?

You got a nerve

Take her clothes off

l want to see how tight she is

Be quiet and lie down

Make one move, and l'll stab you

Stop

Today being Easter, let's make it sort of a buffet

So, do it yourself

Strip

Strip

Strip?

Strip or l'll stab you

Alright, l'll strip

Take everything else off

Everything?

Strip, quickly

Alright

Hurry up

Tell her to put on my clothes

and let him see her from distance

Check around first

l'll be ready

Bring him upstairs

Okay

Keep an eye on her

What are you doing?

Dammit. Can't l even touch you?

What's the big deal?

Big boss

Madam is not feeling well and has left early

She said you can stay and have good time

Okay

Dammit. You're weak with me

You were strong with that bitch

lt's you who has a problem,

and you said l'm loose and plain

Damn you, you ungrateful bastard

Look who l am

lt's you

Of course, it's me

You said big boss is no good

When compared with him...

am l any good?

Dammit, you've taken advantage of me

You set up this trap to entrap me,

what do you want?

Not a big deal

We only want you to sign this check

Sign this?

How much is it for?

Not much, only 4 million

4 million?

Yes, big boss has signed already

lt's Tai Po branch

Alright. After l give you the money

you must serve me 400 times

400 times?

l don't mind serving you 4 million times

Dammit

4 million

We're rich

Yes

lt's them, is it?

Yes, there they are

l knew they were up to no good

We may know a man's exterior but not his heart

Those bastards have double-crossed us

No wonder it came to this

Peace at last

What are you guys up to?

lt's that bastard

Girls! Come and entertain the guests

Coming

Jing Bao, Xiao Hong, Bao Yu

You two wait ahead for me

Okay

Hurry...you follow me

Pay some more

Master, l miss you so much

Come again

l'll come to see you tomorrow night

Don't forget

What's the hurry?

Baby!

Alright, come in

Come in, baby

Let me close the door first

So big

Come on

Don't forget to bring me sweets

l really miss you

My wife won't let me go out

Run! They 're catching up!

What's going on?

Dad, they've been following us

We're very scared

Old man, are there any girls here?

What is it that you want?

Are there any girls?

Go away...

What's the matter with you?

Can't you see...

this is a tailor shop?

A tailor shop?

Though we live near a brothel...

we're a respectable family

One's wish can be fulfilled

Heaven and Earth...

Are you blind?

Lao Hai, come here!

Are you calling me?

Come here

What is it?

l''ll sell you a few pieces of chinaware.

Have you got anything good?

Are they Tang Dynasty's chamber pot

or queen's Jade urinal again?

You must be joking. Take a look!

Erotic figurines

Wait

What do you think?

lt's a bit coarse

And this. lt's different

Look

Very mediocre

Let me look at this one

This is good

ls this good?

So so

This new Jiang Xi chinaware

How much are they?

That and that

You sell them as antiques?

l'll offer you this amount

Do you think it's rubbish?

No can do?

You must pay me this amount at least

Ok, it's settled

Ok, it's sold

Baby, where are you going?

Disgusting!

What is there to see?

You are too young to look at that

lt's bad for your eyes

What are you doing?

Don't slap on the face, don't scold mercilessly

You slapped me on my face!

No more nonsense. Back to work

What happened?

Mr. Pan, this young fellow is so bad

He even left his work just to have a look

Get back to work, you little bastard

Did you find my medicine?

Yes, this will bring you satisfaction

This medicine is called Xian Ling Pi

lt comes from the sheep of Szechuan

These sheep make love 100 times a day

lt will turn you on

lt's also named Epimedium Macranthum

This medicine is very efficacious

...and would make you a he-man

You'll make your wife happy

Really? l'll want a refund if it doesn't work

You can get your money back if it doesn't work

Take 4 of the black ones. They're are stomach pills

Take 1 of the golden one. lt's an aphrodisiac

Only one?

Yes, one is more then enough

l heard you locked your wife up at home

...before you went out?

Yes, indeed

Living as we do near a brothel,

we must watch out

lf some philanderers should come here

to ask for hostesses,

it'd take time to explain to them

Feng, why are you moving out?

Buddy, we've got no choice

My daughter's growing up

Yesterday she went out with my wife

Two guys followed her up here,

and asked for hostesses

l have to move now

Why don't you put something on your door?

l've put up a pair of scrolls like you

Though we live near a brothel...

This is a respectable family

Did you inscribe something horizontally?

Yes. One's wish can be fulfilled

lsn't that enough?

Enough? Yesterday morning...

some mischief-makers tampered with it

How?

How they tampered with it?

Come here. Come with me

Come with me

You can have it if you pay

Darling...

Darling, where are you?

Darling

Darling...

Why didn't you answer me?

l thought you were out

Out? l'm locked in, as usual

Where can l go?

Do you think l'm a spirit?

What's the matter with you?

lf you don't trust me

always be so suspicious

Why did you marry me?

lf l really wanted, l could cheat on you...

even if you were to carry me on your back

l didn't mean that

But as we live here,

we must be careful

What? Haven't you heard that...

unless a bitch wags her tail,

no dogs dare to come close to her?

l'm not afraid of anything

You may not be afraid but l am

Come to meet the guests

Do you hear that?

Dammit, this place sucks

Are you our new neighbour?

Yes. l am Deng Xiao-Xian

Deng Xiao-Xian? Donkey Deng Xiao-Xian?

No, just Deng Xiao-Xian

Not Donkey Deng Xiao-Xian

l'm Pan Lao Hai. Do you mount paintings?

Yes, l am new at the job

We are neighbors now

l need your help to recommend some work

You're too modest

Are you a new tenant?

This is my wife; Mr. Deng

Mr. Deng

No need to be so formal

Just call me Xiao-Xian

We're neighbors. l need your help

You're welcome. We ought to help each other

A neighbor is closer than a relative

Go...go to work

You're too modest

Very kind of you

My stomach aches. Bring me a pill

You finished them all, right?

Look in my shoulder bag. Get me four, hurry

Where did you get these?

Just this box in your bag

What's the matter with you?

You gave me the wrong pills

That was Epimedium Macranthum

What difference does it make?

What are you trying to do?

l...l want you!

What's the matter with you?

What are you trying to do? You'll kill me

You bothersome

Higher

Move

Higher, Quick, Higher

Higher

Higher

Quick, Move

Look carefully and learn

You're hopeless. lf you don't take the pills,

you're good for nothing

Darling, aren't you exhausted?

Exhausted? No, not at all

You're really fantastic

You must be careful. Don't you know

...how my ex-husband died?

How?

He took some sort of aphrodisiac

lt was called Yi Gan Liang or somethin'

Before dawn he died of apoplexy

Apoplexy

Yes

You must not take any more medicine...

no matter what you do

Even my late husband, a martial artist,

who was dubbed the invincible fighter...

could not outlast me

You're really something

Something?

There are altogether 365 variations

Beware, you may also die in my bed

Then l'll be notice

ls your wife out?

No, she's at home, doing the laundry

Then why...

Living in this neighborhood...

it's better to have the door locked or...

That's right, your wife is indeed very pretty

Looking for a hooker, if someone...

breaks into your house, you'd be a pimp!

Sorry! Sorry!

Have you eaten?

Then why don't you go to work?

Damn fool!

Can't you keep your dirty mouth shut?

l have an idea

That would stop him...

bothering me again

We'll find a witch...

to help us trick him

How?

You arrange with the witch

...to come and treat me

What for?

l'll pretend to be sick

l'll tell her that...

l'm possessed by my ex-husband's spirit

She can tell him not to touch me again

As he's so fond of sex,

not one day can he do without a woman

You can introduce him...

the procuress from next door

He sure will be satisfied

Then we can do what we like

How do we do what we like?

ldiot, we'll do the same

...as he does

l'm going down from a high mountain

l take a close look

...from the high mountain,

and see dark smoke over the Pans'

lt portends evil

Something bad is going to happen

Mrs. Pan is possessed by her late husband

Devil, just tell me

...what is it that you seek

and l'll give it to you

You must quit making any more mischief

Stop haunting your wife

l want nothing from you

l don't care about money

But my wife has remarried,

l can't go to heaven

My spirit is restless...

for her husband was my enemy

Who's your enemy? l don't even know you

You used sweet words to deceive me

...and cheat me out of my money

l want to give you three kicks

You better pay attention

Now promise me three things...

or l'll bump you off

lt's okay if the three requests are reasonable

lf not, then don't be so unruly

First, 20 taels of gold

20 taels?

Second, 10 yards each of silk and satin,

with new pattern

Who shall l give them to?

To the seer and she will fulfill my wishes

What about the third thing?

You sleep apart from your wife...

until l go to heaven

My goodness, when will you go to heaven?

We'll do as you've told us

You're an evil spirit

From now on make no further mischief

...and no more haunting people

Or l'll forfeit your passport...

so you won't get back to Hades

Water. Bring me a bowl of water

Have some water

What did he say?

Don't you know what happened?

How could l know?

The spirit said he wants 20 taels of gold

20 taels?

10 yards each of silk and satin

Good

The spirit also wants me

to sleep apart from my wife...

no making love

Really?

Yes

Remember, you must do exactly as he said

Nothing less would do...

or the spirit will haunt you

Even the God can't help you

Come out and meet the guests

Please

Do you have any particular girl in mind?

Tell them to entertain the guests

Come out and meet the guests

Okay

Please sit inside

Girls! Come and entertain the guests

Coming

These are our most popular girls

What do you think?

They're good looking

That's enough

Which one do you like?

Frankly...

none of them appeals to my taste

How about you and me?

You must be joking

l'm far too old

The older you are, the more experienced

Naughty!

Right, this is perfect

You both are a match made-in-Heaven

Shouldn't waste this lovely night. l'll go now

Don't go

Listen

Look

Disgusting!

Disgusting!

Let me close the door

Good

Now we can do what we like

Thank you

Not at all

Where have you been?
