All language subtitles for Association 1974

Thank you. Fan Ying,

we shared so much together. Please try to

forgive me. But

I had no choice. I had to arrest you.

That's why I-- I know. Listen

carefully. I know who's

responsible.

All right, you can take a rest now.

Fan Ying. Uh, hello.

Are you on patrol?Yeah, yeahAre you off

to visit your dad?I'll be waiting for

you. Don't forget to pick up his

medicine for him, all right?

Sure. The treatment is so

expensive. Can he afford much more?

Some hope he can't. Choy, for instance,

is ambitious. He'd like to take over from

her father as commander. Oh, really?

Major Choycer, the general's compliments.

He inquires about your health. Oh,

that's kind of him.

Sir, the general is very worried about

your health. It's affecting your work. So

Major Choi is relieving you of your

duties temporarily.

That's so. You

must sign these documents

recommending Major Choi as relief

commander to take over your post.

Recommend him?

I won't, because he's not

qualified and neither is he capable.

We'll see. You just don't seem to

realize. You've no say. The general's not

satisfied with your work. You'd be

advised to resign. You what?Shut up.

Now take it easy. You're a sick man.

You ought to know when to quit. Resign

now, or would you prefer to be dismissed?

You won't take over. You

see, you're just not man enough for the

job, Choi. Now get out.

Please be careful of your blood pressure.

You remember. Take care of. Yeah,

sure.

Hey, Commander, I'm afraid

I must insist you pay back the money you

owe me. Sorry.

Please give me more time. You see, I've

had to face heavy medical expenses. Yes,

I know about that. But your debt has

dragged on for two years. And it's

only because you had this good job

that I lent the money to you. But you

don't know how to use your influence or

power to make anymore. You money grabbing

swine. Not everybody's corrupt.

I don't worship money. Yes, fine words

indeed, but I still want the money back.

First it was $600. But now it's

6000. Just how do you figure that out?

Well, it's simple interest. If I risk

lending money, I want a profit. The

longer the loan, the more interest I must

charge. That's only reasonable. I made

the terms very clear to you before I lent

the money. Isn't that correct?But I don't

have that much.

Commander, your

wife, she's very young and pretty.

How about I spend a little time

with her and we'll call it quits. You

what?All right, have it your way.

I was just trying to help you out, but I

think what you really need is another

$200 to buy a coffin. You

bastardYou lay a hand on her, and I

swear I'll kill you. Okay, all right

then. But you better remember, I want

that money. I'll be back tomorrow to

collect.

Hello. You look even sexier when you

cry.

Take your hands. I'll be swine.

You keep away from me. Lady, you know

that crippled husband of yours can't do

anything for you. A woman needs

love. I could help you. Oh,

bastardYou know what?I like women to hit

me. Feels good. Let me go.

Come

on. Take it easy.

Let me go.

Come on. Come

on

Hey, husband. Help me.

Huh

Please, please promise me something,

no matter how much trouble it may cause

you. Of course. I'll do

whatever you ask. Please understand.

I killed him because of what he did to my

mother and father. But it wasn't murder.

Troy was behind it. It was he who

persuaded the judge to convict me of

murder. You see, I found out about his

criminal activities, but I had no way of

proving it.

Benny. I swear if it takes for the rest

of my life, I'll see that bastard

ancestry his crimes.

ohh You want to get yourselves peeled?Get

out.

Who are you?We're police officers. Get

out of the way. Really?Well, where are

your manners?

All

right, stand aside.

Do you realize that you're obstructing

the lore?

And do you realize who's inside that car,

have you?I've no idea, and I

don't--

Come here.

Your police duties should cover the

tracking down of criminals.

Not harassing innocent people. Your

superiors will hear about this.

You better show respect for rank.

You can buy rank. You have to earn

respect.

Careful.

Watch your turn, because we only

have to put a single call through to your

commissioner. And you're

finished. Get it?Out on your

assDriver.

Come on. Hey, Tiger, he's got a

nerve fighting him. The General's number

one boy. All right, let's check them out.

What were you up to?Hey, just take a look

at this lot, will you?Look.

Come on, where'd you get this bag from?

Believe me, sir, we didn't. The truth. Oh,

come on. Did

you kill her?No, I swear we didn't.

When we came in here last night, she was

lying there, but I swear she was already

dead. Yeah, that's right. Rubbish. But

we're telling the truth. You must believe

us, please. When we found her, we figured

out she must have done herself in. We may

be a little light-fingered, Governor, but

murderers, we ain't. All we took was her

cash, and... Ohh Robbing the dead,

you heathens!

It looks to me like she was just a

teenager, but she wasn't a virgin.

You take a good look at her breasts.

Do you think that someone raped her?There

don't appear to be any wounds, and no

sign of a struggle either.

Here's your answer. She died from

having an abortion. Hmm

Hey, then it is murder.

What's more, I'm told the Overseas Club

runs an abortion center.

HmmPossible. But someone there botched it

up. She made her way here and died. Hmm

Gentlemen, I think we'll check out the

recreational activities of the overseas

club. Yes, sir. Right.

Look, over there. I swear that's FanYing.

It was her. I'm sure it was Fan Ying. Are

you out of your mind?Fan Ying is dead.

Come on, let's get that other girl's body

over to the club. Right. Okay.

All right, bring her in.

Wait.

All right, police. All of you, just stay

where you are.

What the hell is this?Throw that cop out

of here.

Wait till the empathy hears about this.

You'll swing for it. Go ahead. Report me

to the council. And mention your clinic,

too. Listen to him. Huh

What are you trying to pull?Is this a

shakedown for bribes?I've already paid

protection money to the cops for this

month, and I'm damned if I'm going to pay

any more to you. Shut up. I'm

investigating a murder case. Abortion is

not murder. Getting rid of unwanted

pregnancies helps society. That

doesn't make it legal. Now

listen. Women come to me for help,

and our methods are safe. It's about time

the authorities realize there's a real

need for this service. But this time your

service has failed. Because you have also

killed the mother. HuhYou'll have to

prove that. She could have been anywhere.

You're just making wild accusations.

Don't worry. We'll prove it. Let me

jug your memory for you. All right,

men. Bring the body in here.

There she is. Now, go ahead. Take a good

look at her. Don't try to tell me you

can't remember whether she was here.

Tell me, who is she?She

told us that her name was Xiaoping. And

her address?She was living with her

parents at the tailor shop. I believe

she's Mr. Chow's daughter. You what?

Anyway, she left here alive.

Furthermore, what happens outside doesn't

concern me. What do you mean, doesn't

concern you?Tiger?Hmm

Take her away. Sure.

You better take a good look. Is this girl

your daughter?

HuhShopping. Shopping.

She left us about three days ago.

We begged her not to leave us.

It was just a family

quarrel.

Shopping. afraid I must ask you some

questions. I need to know about the men

in her life because your daughter died

from having an abortion.

My daughter was a decent girl, not a

prostitute, and she led a quiet life.

She had no interest whatsoever in sex. So

you mean to say that your daughter

became pregnant all on her own?Don't

be a fool. Yes, sir. I know, it

does sound incredible. She rarely went

out of the house once or twice

to the welfare association. Welfare

association?Right. I

understand. It's a respectable place.

Many of the members are top people. So

I decided it was all right. And are you

sure that's the truth?Why should I lie to

you?I think

that's where your daughter probably got

herself into trouble. Brother,

not in that place. We're dealing

with a murder case, not a traffic

violation. Hey, hey, hey,

Lieutenant, hold on a minute. Do you

realize just what you're doing?You know

the general's wife is on the committee.

They'll crucify you. I'm not

scared. Maybe they're powerful,

but they're not above the law. Tell

me, how do we get in?

Come on, over the wall. Okay. Fine, okay.

Come on.

Well, gentlemen, that's only the first

part of today's entertainment. A

more exciting program follows, and there

is something to suit everyone's tasteNow,

this young girl is very skillful.

Naturally, she's also very attractive.

She's capable of satisfying the most

erotic and unusual desires.

Gentlemen, your bids, please.

I'll start $100. Make it 110,

A 120, Thirty more, 150.

Come along. Come on now, gentlemen. I'm

sure that money's no object to you. So

please bid freely. You're right. I'll say

250,

300,

and 350.

Upserve the delicate features. Now,

gentlemen, don't be shy. This girl will

help you achieve undreamed-of pleasures.

So shall we continue with the bidding?

Okay, 400.

420,

430.

All right, then. My final offer,

$500.

It seems that Mr. Woo has the highest

bid. So if there are no more

offers, then he takes her. Terrific.

Sir, it's cash, not credit. Right.

No question. You drive a hard bargain, my

dear. Well, 500 is

cheap, considering the merchandise.

You won't be disappointed.

All right, gentlemen, it's time for the

rest of you to make your choice from

among our beautiful girls.

All right, make your selection.

And remember, be sure to pay your

donations.

Oh, yes.

If you've paid your donations, there's no

need to waste time. I suggest that you

take your companions to our guest room.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank

you. Thank you.

Oh, it tickles.

All right, you two, that's enough. Now

break it up and get your clothes on. Who

are you?

I'm a police officer. Huh

Police?You can't come in here without a

warrant. Get out.

Presumably you must be the manageress

here. Innocent

girls join this club and end up in

your clutches. Bullshit

Then what about Chao Xiaoping?Remember

her?The girl is dead.

And like her, we know for a fact she

visited this place. She was seduced and

then became pregnant. And later she had

to have an abortion at the overseas club.

You caused her death. I never met her.

You, you're to blame.

You dirty, evil bastardHave you no

shame paying $500 for a young

girl just to satisfy your lust?How would

it be if your wife and children were to

find out about this, huhOh, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, noPlease, please

They mustn't-- they mustn't hear this.

I-- I won't do it

ever again-- Bastard

ohh Now, you bunch of horny old goats,

get the hell out of here. I

know you're the mastermind here.

Okay, let's see your face.

You're not fooling anyone, son. I know

it's you for sure. Hey!

I know it's your choice, bodyguard,

and that other one is the commander,

isn't he?Huh

Quickly, men! Over here! Now get him!

Come on, get him!

Get him!

Who are you?It doesn't matter. You'll

find out soon enough. Now get out of here!

Do you realize just who you're dealing

with?You'd better release me. Otherwise

your ass will be in a sling. Shut up.

I want the name of your boss.

I refuse to answer. You

mean they'll kill you if you talk, and

they'll kill us for finding out. That

right?Then I'll force it out of you.

Talk. Come on. You

damn well better tell us. I

wouldn't advise force. Oh.

As the president of the Welfare

Association, I'm highly

respected. I have some influential

friends. When they find out, you're

finished. You

could be right, but not before I taught

you a lesson. Tiger. Darren.

Get ready. Right.

Oh.

Fine. Let go of me.

I'm warning you, you'll regret this.

You'll get the thrill of a lifetime,lady.

Mr. Wong, do you know who this woman is?

You can't question her. I don't care who

she is. A woman has been killed,

possibly murdered, and I'm investigating.

You know damn well the association's

committee is a very powerful group. I

know the top officials. Release her.

Their welfare association is a

whorehouseNonsense. Get over

to the commissioner's office. You can

tell him and see what he thinks.

Really, sir?Sir?

Lieutenant, you must face facts. In this

province, who is it that the general

favors most?That's obvious.

Everyone knows it's Choi Po Chung.

But we also know that he's a criminal and

a clever one. Trouble is getting the

evidence to prove it. What's that?

Just be careful. Remember, you're talking

to the commissioner. Stick to the facts.

I can assure you that these are the

facts. Lieutenant,You know damn

well you should have obtained a warrant

before searching the association's

premises. The association and the

overseas club are both criminal centers,

offering sex and abortion. They

were breaking the law, so we moved in. I

was merely doing my duty. Idiot!

Joy has gone and complained to the high

command about your actions, and they want

an explanation. I'm afraid you're in

trouble.

So you're saying that... They're not

subject to the law. Is that it?

Well, they'll have to kill me first,

because I intend to bring this whole

thing out into the open.

Lieutenant, what do you know

about a gangster called Chu Yang Kuei?Chu

Yang Kuei?Now, don't tell me you haven't

heard of him. Aren't you familiar with

the underworld?Captain, you have Chu's

picture. Show it to him. Sir.

No, no,

no

Untie them.

You know, you pair. Remind me of my own

parents. Get out of my

sight.

This Chuyang Kuei. Is now believed to be

running a number of rackets in this

region. He's the man you should be doing

something about. He mustn't be allowed

to start his operations in this city, or

else we'll have a real crime problem. I

want you to drop everything and look for

Chuyang Kuei, and that includes dropping

the abortion case. Yes, Sir, I

understand precisely.

I sincerely hope you do understand. Good

detectives are hard to come by and I

can't afford to lose you, but for

Christ's sakes, stay out of trouble.

Concentrate on getting Chu. I promise no

trouble. Hmm

Let me introduce one of our colleagues to

you. She's been inside to work with you,

and what's more, she's a crack shot and a

Kung Fu expert. Fan Kua.

Me too. I thought it was Fan Ying the

first time that I met her, so I'm not

surprised that you thought so. In fact,

she's Fan Ying's sister. Fanwa

is on secondment from the Central Bureau.

I'm pleased to meet you. Last night at

the Welfare Association, it was you who

helped me. There wasn't time to

introduce myself. Well, thank you. I

needed your help. Oh, so you two have

already met each other. Ha!

Wang Feng Xing, you're still planning to

investigate the general?Well, you could

say the case is still open.

One warning just isn't enough for you, is

it?You could get busted for what you did.

That was a rash move. No such warrants.

Then you arrest the president of the

association and try to question her,

right?That's right.

It's an illegal organization. They

abuse innocent girls. They're lured there

and then forced to work as prostitutes.

And it pays protection money to corrupt

officials. Isn't that right?I'm not going

to argue with you. This is our final

warning. You stay away from the place. We

know you've no real proof. You're

still so keen to investigate.

And tomorrow, just come to the temple.

I'll give you evidence.

oh

Well, next time I'll kill you. Now get

the hell out of here.

Well, what do you want?Police. I want to

see the owner. Right. This way.

I'm the owner of this mint, Mrs. Liu. My

compliments, madam. I'm sorry to

inconvenience you.

But we're checking security.

Could you be more specific?

Gangster called Chu Yan Kuei, maybe after

your gold, did you know?

Yes, in fact, my patrols have heard

similar reports. So we've warned the

guards to be on full alert. I don't think

we need to worry. I think you're

being optimistic. He's very

cunning, and he will stop at nothing.

I'm here to assist you.

I see.

May we talk in your room?It's important

that no one hears my plan. No.

Not in there. I don't allow men to enter

my room. You see, I'm a widow, my husband

is dead. I know you're a policeman, but

if people knew we'd stayed together. In

the same room?Well, it's so embarrassing.

I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it's necessary.

Please, I must insist.

Hmm, this is perfect.

At night, I intend to keep God in here.

At night?Did you say at night?

Yes, that's right, at night. They're not

likely to come in the daytime. All right,

but why must you hide in my wardrobe?

Because this was your husband's room.

Presumably the key to the vault was kept

in here. And it's the first place Chu

will head for. Oh, what if I

put it somewhere else?Hide it in another

room?That won't do you any good.

This man, Chu, is dangerous.

He's a thief and a murderer. He's just as

likely to rape you and then kill you.

There'd be no escape. So I must

be here to protect you. You

must understand it's the only sensible

arrangement.

But how long will this go on for?

Do you have any idea?It's hard to say.

Ten days, maybe a month, long as it

takes. Uh, but

you can't. This is ridiculous.

If you stay here, the whole town will

gossip about me. Besides, how can I be

sure I can trust you?

Madam, you've nothing to fear. Believe

me. No, I don't like the idea

at all. You'd better leave. Sorry.

But my orders are to stay and protectyou.

Tiger, here's what you must do.

Hide near the mint. If

Chew shows up, then I want you to signal

me with a whistle. Cover every entrance,

have the men surround the place, and stay

alert. I understand. We'll be inposition.

Aren't you planning to sleep?

What?You-- while you're undressing.

Ha. Just up worrying. It's hot inside the

wardrobe. That's why.

Hang my clothes. Take

your hand away. I'll scream. No, don't

touch me. Won't do you any good. There's

nobody here to help you.

You gave me your promise. You said you'd

protect me. Please

don't hurt

me. You've been longing for a man. Why

deny yourself?

Come on, you know you want it.

We want each other.

Honey, why do you try to fight it?Don't

like this our first time. Please don't

force me. All right. Forget it. Oh,

no. No, please. Don't go. I need you.

Don't. Don't leave

me. Please.

Don't. No, stay. I want you. I want you.

Please. Don't

go. Oh, love me. No, please.

Don't go. No. Please. Please don't go

away. Please stay. No. Don't

go. Wake up. Please. No, don't. Please

stay. Hey, wake up.

I think you should consider remarrying.

So it was only a dream.

Hey, what is it?Commander Chew to see

Madame Lowe. Please, come in.

This way.

Well now, Commander, what brings you here?

How nice to see you. Have a seat. Hmm

The general's silver coins amount to $5

million. He'd like you to

double them.

You mean you, uh.. Just as before.

Melt them down, add nickel, and

mint them again. I

take it our old general wants to

buy another concubine.

He's a good man, but he's ignorant of

three things. The first,how many

soldiers he commands. The second, how

much he's worth. And thirdly,

the exact number of concubines he has.

But remember, you must

keep this just yourself. But of course.

Hmm

Right, you'll make a tidy profit.

I shall expect my usual percentage when

you're finished.

Also mint an extra million dollars from

his money and hide it in the vault.

All right, I'll be seeing you soon then.

Call me when it's ready.

Ah, my men were right. You are

pretty. So that's all the more reason

for us to be around here to protect you.

As a matter of fact, I'll send some

reinforcements over. Make you feel even

safer. Thank you. Just one

thing. I'm sure you know, in addition to

guarding you, the men must continue to

perform their regular duties. You see,

it's difficult to spare them. However,

if you were to show them some

consideration... Why?

Oh no, I don't have to spell it out for

you. I'm sure you know what I mean. They

really have to make a living, just the

same as everyone else. And a wealthy

woman like you could afford a little

something. It would be well worth your

while. Say, $1,000?Mr.

Sun. Huh

What are you doing here?Just as

I thought. Asking for money.

You're a disgrace to the entire force.

You-- No wonder the public doesn't trust

us. You watch your lip.

Don't pay him a cent. He knows

that it would be corruption. And if he

tries it, then you must report him, and

I'll make sure that he's arrested.

You son of a bitch you. Now then,

you just listen. You're on

official duty, so you're gonna help me

out. You go around and tell the men that

when they hear this, they're to move in

on the house. Why, you bastard

Don't you give me orders. Ohh

You'll do as I say. Otherwise, I shall

report you.

All right. We'll see.

What would you say if I told you

I'm Chuyang Kwei?You what?

I don't believe you. No, I'll let my

men in. But first I'll have a little fun

with you and make your dreams come

true. Then I'll take the gold

and silver. Please don't hurt me.

Don't worry, I'm only joking. I am a real

policeman.

That's unfair. You really scared me.

Look, this is the real chew.

I'm a patrol leader. I was told to report

in.

Hey,

Quickly. Two and his men are inside the

grounds. Excellent.

I'll be ready for him.

Open up the vault.

All right, that's far enough. Who are you?

Get him!

What?Help

me! Open the door!

Help! Open the door!

Help! Help

Ah

It's the end of the line for you two. Get

him!

Round them up. Take 'em down to the

station and book 'em. Sir. Sir.

Where the hell were you?What'd you do,

run the other way when I whistled?You

bastard Ohh

I'll get you. You'll... You don't have me

killed!

I could have you jailed for this! Come

on, tell me you put back to it! Joy is

here! Hmm

Good. You've done well. You deserve a

reward. Just you name it.

Well, let me see. Somehow, I don't think

you'll give me what I want. I want to

nail you. What's that?You idiot! Are you

mad?You mad?Shut up.

I know all about the rackets you've been

running. Let's take the overseas club.

Fortune center. You're peddling drugs in

there also. Say nothing of the gambling.

The list is endless. Organized

corruption. People living in fear.

Paying out protection money to you.

And prostitution.

The Association for the Welfare of Young

Girls. It's nothing more than a poor

house. But I'll tell you this. Your

rank isn't gonna save you. Not when we

bring you to court. You?Who are you?I'm

from the Central Police Bureau. My name

is Fan Hua.

We've already got enough evidence to

prove your involvement in organized

crime. Believe me,

when the court hears it, they'll hang you

a mile high. Cut it out. Lieutenant, hold

your tongue. You're no

better than a parasite, a vicious

bloodsucker, possessed by greed.

People commit crimes, and sometimes even

kill. But it's your crime, corruption.

which causes the society to fall apart.

Really?Can you prove your

accusations against me?Let me give you

some words of advice. The General's

already informed the central government

about police interference into

military affairs. Don't try to threaten

me. Woman, I'll make you

regret this. Lieutenant.

These are most serious allegations.

They're all true, sir. We can prove it,

sir. Are you certain about that?

Commander, I have no

alternative but to pursue this matter.

You've heard the charges made by my

detectives, and they have proof to

support them. I intend to recommend to

the central government that you be

formally charged and brought to trial.

Go ahead. I don't care.

What's your report?Come on.

But, sir, I think they should all be put

under arrest. Otherwise, it gives them a

chance to interfere with potential

witnesses. You know very well we must

first get a warrant from a magistrate who

wants some more facts before he makes any

decision. I've already applied. It's

being considered.

Mr. Wang.

I want to thank you for your help and

protection. Take care of yourself.

I hope you sleep easy and now it's safe.

Ah

Doctor, he-- will he be all right?No, I'm

afraid that he's still in danger. This

really is the critical period. If he

pulls through this, he'll be all right.

Hmm

I'm certain of it. That must be one of

Choi's men. Right. We're not thatcertain.

Darren?HmmTiger. HmmAs a preventive

measure, I want you to make sure there's

a guard kept on him around the clock.

Sir.

Well, then, what the hell's wrong?Well,

I'm afraid I've got some bad news,

Commander. Lieutenant Wong isn't dead

yet. What's that?Are

you sure?Yes. I was at the hospital and

saw him brought out of surgery.

It was my fault.

Any more mistakes?And you'll end up

in the hospital as well. Is that clear?

It's gonna be damn difficult to get near

him. But this time, make sure-- I won't

fail this time when he's gonna die. Wait.

We must also take care of Fennoir

and that commissioner. Sure, leave it to

me.

I hope that you'll consider recommending

me as the new commissioner, sir.

Naturally, I will. Uh, thank you. Thank

you, sir.

Don't worry. Tigers just made sure they

won't bother you. I think

we'll have to move you, though. It's not

safe here. They're bound to try

again.

Commander Choi, I'm from headquarters. I

have orders to take you back to the

capital. Oh, me?For what reason?

I think there must be a mistake. No,

there isn't.

Commander, what's going on?The police.

They've got the entire house surrounded.

Commander, after you.
