huh You're just a bunch of idiots. I

ought to get rid of the whole lot of you.

God damn it. One of our best men killed.

And the arms shipment gone. Why the hell

do I pay you?Look, I sent some men.

They're investigating it. Did you?And

what good's that?You sent men to

investigate last time. And they didn't

manage to find out one damn thing.

Huh

Somebody's out to get me. That's for

certain. What do you think?

Do you think it might be our villagers?

I'm sure it wasn't them. I've got a

tight grip on those villagers. I don't

think it could have been them. And

Hoisey Village?Hmm

They're a peculiar bunch up there. It

could well be them. Hmm

But there's something I don't understand.

I don't get it at all. What's that?

We were so careful. Kept the whole

thing a secret. And we used

a new route. But they still knew when to

hit us. Something's wrong.

It couldn't just be luck.

I think we've got a traitor with us.

Trader?

HmmHere, boss. Some coconut juice foryou.

Well, if I ever find the swine who tipped

them off, I'll make him sorry he was

born.

Thomas Vange is here.

Take some men. Go to Hoisey Village. Tear

the place down. I've told you many times

before. We don't have control over that

territory. We can't use violence there,

that's for sure. They make real trouble

for us. Goddamn it. Well, in that case,

what do we do?We have to use the river.

And the river goes through the village.

There's no other way to go. So what the

hell do we do?Don't get uptight.

I can fix it. Leave it to me. Huh

Tell me more. It's like this.

Feng Tien Wen is the village chief up

there. Most of the riverbank belongs to

him. If we could get him on our

side, we'd have no problem.

Well, go talk to him.

I'd be wasting my time there. He's an

honest man. Couldn't go to him direct.

But there is a way, and I know it.

Tell me about it. I'll get at him

through his eldest son. He's a real

layabout. And he's always broke,

as it is. He spends a lot of time

drinking in the village. What's his name,

then?Feng Tuyun.

Hey, heyHello, Linda. It must be

Fate meeting up with you like this. Hey,

let me help you. No.

Father! Nicorette! No, I'm

okay. I'm okay.

Listen, hungry?Yeah.

Hey! Come on!hurry

up I'm starving here

all right what's the hurry then well

you're late again why is it you get here

late every day it isn't my fault though

that bullet cart's so slow why don't you

walk then huh you're really not very

bright are youHey, tell me,

you'd rather eat meat or vegetables?Meat,

of course. HuhRight.

And would you prefer to walk or go by

cart?By cart, of course. Uh,

that's not the same. All right.

Let's stop it. It's time we had lunch.

Come on.

ah Hey you, listen. Do you think I have

no teeth?Can't bite?All

you bring us is bean curd. Where'd you

get that idea from?Hey, it's good for

you. I got that straight from a doctor.

Bean curd has got lots of vitamins.

Builds you up, gives you plenty of

strength. Look at you. That's why

you're so strong. That's all of bean

curd. That's crap! Hey, come on now.

I thought you said you were hungry.

And you?Eat up. Oh, not for me. You eat

my share. I have to get going.

Taljin seems to have changed a lot

lately. Always wanting to go to the

village now. I know.

I think he spends a lot of time drinking.

Su-may. My name's Chen. And I

thank you to remember that. Sure.

Stay and talk with me. I think you drink

too much. No. I

want you to sit with me. But you won't,

if I don't drink. I think that's only an

excuse.

Mr. Ao, hello. Hmm

Please go in. Right.

Hey, Zhu Mei.

Fong Ji Yuen, how's things with you?

Have a drink. Oh?

Hey, bring more wine and some food. My

friend needs a drink. And I want to have

the best wine in the house, ehSure.

Tell me, how you getting on with Miss

Chan these days, eh

No. It's all right.

Well, let's drink up, eh

Well, what do you think of the drink?It's

good. Best I ever

tasted. I must say,

you're a smart guy. You've got things

made the way you live. You

think so. Sure I do.

While my dad doesn't approve, thinks I'm

a layabot, he says

I should do some work. But still,Your

family's the richest in the Holopoise

Sea. It isn't right you should work in

the field, ehI have to cook, too.

Uh, that's really asking too much. I

mean, what are the girls going to think

about you when they find out you'd do the

cooking, too?Nothing I can do, though.

You couldn't be more wrong. You could be

rich if you wanted to. Hmm

Really?I wouldn't kid you.

Your family's got lots of land, but it

does you no good at all. It's useless.

But if you were to sell some, it could

bring in a lot of money. I

couldn't. You just don't know what my

father's like. Sell land?Huh

He'd never do it. Well, if you won't sell

it, you could still cooperate with me.

But how?All that you have to do is to

lease the land to me. To grow

opium. What good does that do?

You listen to me now. Growing opium

doesn't need a lot of work. But what's

more important, it's very profitable. It

makes a lot of money.

You work it out now. How much money do

you earn in a year?Fifty thousand?

More than that?I doubt it.

Maybe less. Growing opium, you could make

at least ten times that.

Here it is.

Look there. Just get those pretty girls

over there. If you had plenty of money,

you could afford to come here every day

and have your pick of them all.

And I'm not just thinking of Sue Mae.

There's plenty more girls and prettier.

HuhEh

All right, then. You go talk to your

father. Go and tell him what a good deal

it could be for him, ehRight. I'll do

that now. Good... Hey!

Finish it!

I...

ohh

Hey, right there!

Who are you?Why are you been here up

there?What's all this, huhThat's it to

you. HuhYou want some of it as

well?Let's try it.

All

right, let's go!

Let's go, God.

Listen, are you all right then?

Thank you. I'll be all right. Tell me.

You're new here, aren't you?Haven't seen

you before?My name's Han Wei,

and I've just arrived here.

And this is my daughter. Her name's

Susan. Her home is up in the northern

provinces. I came in the hope of

finding one of my relatives down here.

Hmm, did you find him then?

Unfortunately, he's dead.

And I must say, things have changed a

lot here, and not for the better.

Yes.

But tell me, how are things in the north

right now?The chaps have taken over.

And they're even moving into some of the

smaller villages now.

They're making life very difficult.

That's why we decided to leave there.

I mean, I want peace and quiet.

But there's very little peace in the

north right now. Well, I think you'll

find things much better down here.

Sometimes we have trouble, but we can

make a living. Well, that's good.

I mean, what more can one ask for?

In fact, anybody would settle for

that. But still,

I did hear a disturbing rumor about the

Japanese, that they might come here. Hmm,

not here. A tiny village like this,

what could there be for them here?We've

got nothing that they want.

But you never can tell, though. Uh,

not worth thinking about. Now tell me,

do you have any plans for the future?Why,

no. I suppose

we'll just keep on traveling now. But

first, though, I must say how grateful we

are. And now we'll be

going.

Thank you very much.

But where will you go?

I must admit, I really don't know yet. In

that case, why not?

Susan, tell me, do you know how to cook?

A bit, but not too well. You're just

being modest, I'm sure.

All right, then. You go and make up the

spare rooms for our guests. I'm sure they

must be tired now. Right. Uh, come on.

Father, you're still up. Come

here.

Tell me, why are you back so late again?

Have you been drinking?Oh,

no. Uh, listen. We've all been so busy in

the fields. You're the only one of us who

never does a proper day's work. So what

do you do all day?I just

relax. Relax?

You're going to relax yourself to death.

Now, look, it's time you worked. This

is our busiest time. You must help

and take some of the load from us. Uh,

Father. But you don't have to work so

hard. Do something other than farming.

Well, what else is there?

Listen, I've got an old friend,

and he wants to do a deal, what he wants.

is our land to grow opium

he'll pay us well grow opium yeah

sure doesn't need much work not

like other crops just four days work a

year after that you just sit back and

relax you're crazy

do you know what you're saying now

look don't say no it's for your own good

you're old now and you shouldn't have to

work so hard don't care how old I am

I can still work. And I'd rather starve

to death than go opium.

Listen, think carefully. There's no

money in farming. It's a waste of time.

There's no sense in it. Are you lecturing

me?I'm just suggesting.

I want to help give you a rest.

Well, forget it. I've had enough.

And don't mention it again. Uh

And I suggest to you that you keep away

from friends like that. You listen to

them, and you're very likely to wind up

in jail for the rest of your life.

What's wrong?He says we should grow

opium. Do you think so?

Come on. You've drunk too much. You get

to bed now, and we'll talk tomorrow.

Oh, there's a pretty girl now. And

how come you're staying in our house?Hey,

tell me, what's your name?I'm Susan. I

came last night. Oh, that's good. Hey,

let me help you. Leave it. Huh

I can do that.

Listen, you're starting work early.

HmmYes, I am. And as for you,

I've got some news. You don't have to

cook anymore. Oh, that right. You'll

work with us in the fields. Eh

In the fields?You're kidding me.

He's not. Come on, go get washed. We're

going now.

Why should I?And why shouldn't you?

It's time you worked. Come on.

Uh, good morning. Hi. Not

quarreling, are you?Oh, not at all. Tae

Yun, this is Mr. Han, Susan's father.

This is my brother, Tae Yun. Oh.

Mr. Han is going to work for us here.

All right, we'll see you later. We're

going now.

ohh Come on. You

can do better than that. Well,

I've had enough of the stupid work.

Hey, Dad. Hey, leave it.

Just let him rest a while.

Hey.

Susan.

I must say, it smells very good. Much

better than that rubbish he cooks.

Oh, yeah, I quite agree, actually. Yeah,

me too. Huh

You! What are you doing here?We... we..

speak up! We got some wrong address! Get

out!

All right! Who

sent you?

That's enough, thou! Get out of here!

Ohh

God damn

it. I wonder what they're up to.

They wanted something. I'm sure of it!

Let's go check.

Hey, Dad.

Hey, Dad. We'll go in. You stay here.

See anything?Not a thing.

Everything seems all right. And you,

see anything?not a thing.

Huh Nothing in the house worth

stealing anyway. They were just idiots.

I'm gonna wash.

Hey, where's Susan?

Uh..

Susan?Mr. Horn?

You're back then. Where's your

dad?Oh, he thought that he'd like to go

for a walk, get some fresh air. You see

anyone come in here?HmmWhy,

no. But I was back here, though.

Well, I'm hungry. When do we eat?

I'll go and get dinner ready, then.

God damn it. So they've written again.

Now what do we do?Boss,

we've had most of our men out making

inquiries. And what have they found

out then?Oh, well, they've had no

luck. I'm very sorry. Huh

Come here.

So they've had no luck yet, ehYeah,

that's right. Damn it!

Wong Kan, come here.

Sir?Those two strangers that you reported

to me, where are they now?Uh,

well, I did send some of the fellows over

to check on Feng Taeyun's house. They

were there, but still, it seems like

they've gone. Damn it. You idiot.

So what are we going to do?The shipment's

due to go.

You got any ideas, ehNow

listen. You

better catch those people and soon. And

if you don't us well, I'll kill you all.

Have you got that?Yeah, yeah, boss.

Where's Cao?Uh, gone out. Gone to find

Peng Taeyoon. Well then, got any news

yet?

Hey, is there something wrong?

It's my old man. We had a big fight.

It's too bad. Guess I won't be coming

here. How'd it come about?

Like this. We hired two more people to

help. They cook the food. And I have

to work out in the fields.

Who are these two?I don't know.

a couple of strangers who arrived. Oh.

Too bad, I really feel sorry for you in

this. I mean, if you have to work all

day, you can't come here.

And if you don't,

then you're never going to get to see

your girlfriend, Tsumei.

Well then, about my plan. Don't

you think it's a good idea?

Of course. I think it's great. But

it's my father. He'd never agree to it.

So what can I do?It's hopeless. Hmm

Not really. If your tongue

isn't enough, then you'll have to use

your hands. Use

my hands for what?If he won't give

you the deeds, then you simply take them.

Take?If you can get your hands on the

title deeds, I'll do the rest. Uh, but--

You needn't worry. I'll let you have them

right back. We'll just record a secret

agreement. Come on.

No one will know that you've taken them.

Mr. Hahn, not asleep yet?

Tell me, what you doing?

Oh, nothing. I couldn't sleep. Oh,

what's that in your hand then?Oh,

nothing, nothingThose

title deeds, I think you should put them

back. Go on.

Huh Hey, listen, you can't do

it, you can't.

Mind your own business. Those deeds are

my father's, so get lost.

Listen now. You better get out of my way

right now. God damn it.

I'll

break you in half.

Tayerin!

Tell me what's going on here. It was this

guy, making trouble. I mean, he's

got no rights here. That right?

So, he was making trouble, was he?Hmm,

that's right.

You stupid young idiot. Uh, he stole

them, and I was trying to stop him.

You'll lie. I know what's happening.

I turned down your idea, so you decided

to force me by stealing the title leads.

Yes. You're dead right.

But don't you see, though, I did it for

your own good. Is that so?

Well, I know exactly why you did it. You

want money, so you steal. I've said

what I think of your idea, and I won't

change my mind. So just you settle down

and do some damn work. I

won't. I won't drag

out my life like you have. Yeah, well,

get out. Father, take it easy. Let's just

forget it. Yes, he's right.

It's better just to forget it. It's not

that serious. I'm going,

right now.

I don't need this place. I can make out

on my own.

As for you, I don't need your damn

sympathy.

You better try to hide. If they get me,

then you can report to the others. Go on.

like

Let them go. God damn

it. What the hell do they want?Who are

they?There's something strange about

this. I mean, this is the second time

now.

Susan.

Fight

him!

Don't fight him. He's a friend of mine.

What's going on?They've grabbed Mr. Ham.

All right. You thirsty?

Want a drink?But if you do,

you'd better talk. Who are you?

Talk! Hmm

Now, come on! Start talking!

Hey, boss. Uh, damn it!

All right. Lock him up.

In fact, you see,

he isn't my father at all. And he

isn't that old. That so?

Sure. He's not very

much older than me, but he's our leader.

Leader?Of what?It's

hard to say. Just call us a group of

patriots. You see,

those guns, they belong to them. We

hijacked their arms shipments. It's like

this. The Japanese have been sending them

arms in return for opium. You see,

the Japs want to set up collaborators

here, ready for when they invade. And

that's just what we're trying to prevent

happening. Oh, so

that's it. So now you know the

story. Those

Japs somebody must stop them.

Right. It's our duty.

And my brother wants to help them.

They've captured our leader. What'll we

do?Don't

worry. They'll be wanting to find out who

you are. So then,

they won't want to kill him. But we have

to try to rescue him quickly. Without

him, there's not much we can do. You're

right there. But still,

we have to work out a plan first.

You, come on. You've become one of us.

Drink up. Right.

Thank you. You string along with Mr.

Simon, and you can expect to become a

very rich man. That's great. Well, I'm

really grateful. Thanks a lot. Right,

let's drink.

Listen, I've got an idea. How's this?

Your father's disowned you. The boss has

no kids. So then it's obvious.

You could become his adopted son.

Oh, I couldn't expect such an honor.

Listen, I'm the one who's honored.

Drink up. Cheers. Let's all drink up.

We're all gonna drink to Mr. Simon.

Yeah! Cheers, Simon. Hey, what's up?

HuhNothing, come on. It's just

some noise. Come on, play on it. Come on,

come on, come onOkay, there we go.

Mr. Simon, I gotta talk

to him quickly.

Quickly. Yeah.

What?

Hey! Come on! Right! Slow down!

You stay here. We'll take the back.

ohh

Susan, you divert them.

And you, out the back. I'll try and pull

them off. Right.

one.

oh

All right, you help Susan. I'll get out.

Right.

Let's get

him

right

Turn them up.

EhWe've won?Well, how do you

mean?Now

we've got them. Well, go on.

It's simple. Now that we've persuaded

Fong's son to join us, we can use him to

say that his family tried to steal some

of our goods. We caught them.

There was a big fight. And they all got

killed. HmmAnd then?

Well, then. With old Fong dead, Tae

Yuen will be the next chief. He'd be the

next in line. In that case,

we could do what we wanted around here,

that right?That's a very good

idea. We'll do that.

Go get him. All right.

So it's you, huhYou're the stinking spy.

Aren't you, huhIt

sounds as though it's in trouble out

there.

Let's go and see. Oh,

my God. They killed him. Who was

it?They. They want to kill... To

kill... Oh, Mr. Fall!

Kill my father?You must be kidding me.

Now listen. HuhYou're so selfish.

You're own family. You don't care.

Even if they all get killed. Huh

You can't talk to me like that. That so?

You think Mr. Simon's a good guy, don't

you?In fact, he's using you. I

tell you, today he's going to have your

father killed. Huh I

can only assume you've gone crazy.

Either that or you're dreaming things. Hmm

You're the one who's crazy. You just

don't know what you're doing now. You

can't tell right from wrong anymore. Hey?

Why do you keep on at me?This is taking

the joke a bit far now. You fool.

Everything she said is true. These

friends of yours are capable of anything.

Why don't you open your eyes?You ought to

go back home. I'll go with you. If you

don't believe me, come on, come on

Right. If that's what you want, if that's

going to satisfy you, huh, I'll go along

then. Well, hurry.

Father.

Father, it's me here.

Can you hear what I'm saying?It's you, my

boy. You came back. Well, I'm glad.

Never thought that you would. I thought

you'd left us. But still,

it's too late. No! You'll make it.

You'll be all right. Tae Yin.

Listen to me. You

be a good boy and you take care of

yourself. Come back here.

Take over.

oh This is all your fault. You caused his

death.

You selfish swine. You've got no honor.

You're no longer my brother.

You've no place here now.

You told us. You didn't need us

here. So what are you doing here

now?Get the hell out of

here!

Thank it.

Did you see that?What are

you doing?Yeah, now listen. This is our

place. We've taken over. You

got that?Hey, you've got no right around

here. So what don't you get the hell out?

You bastard Do you want trouble?You

better get out. Ouch!

Goddamn it!

All your friends are gone now. So then

let's have a talk. We want this

house here. Will you let us have it ornot?

Yeah. As for when?Tomorrow,

when he's buried.

HmmLook at this. Doesn't look old.

He needs a beard.

How about that?That's a lot better, isn't

it,

huhAll right. All right

We don't want no trouble now. All that we

want is ours.

Roger.

What do you want?Listen,

I know that I've no right here.

But still, I just wanted to see Father

again. Do you?

It's a bit later the day for that.

Those swine murdered Father,

and now they're taking his land. The

house is well. Everything. And

who caused it?Whose fault is it?Do you

know?You're the one.

It's you.

You caused it all. Everything that

Father worked so hard for.

But you're finished here. No one will

trust you. Especially not me.

Get out. Out!

Get out!

well Hey!

Let's get this stuff out of here. Right,

come on, let's get unloaded. All right,

let's go.

God damn you. You interfering bunch of

bastardsWell, this time I've got you.

You'll wish it minded your own business.

You fools. What do you hope to gain?I'll

give you one more chance, and you'd

better take it now. You rat. You're

gonna pay now for what you've done, you

murderer. Well, if that's what youwant...

Right. Right

Be careful now.

What happened?They're dead.

What's this?How in God's name did

they get out?It's

you. I've got

to

help.

oh

All right, let's kill them.

HuhWhat's this?You mad?

What is this?

Listen, Taeyang got us away.

Huh

Susan, Susan, Susan!

oh

yeah

Brother.

James.
