The first time I saw D, I knew he was the one
I wanted to be a drifter and roam the world with him
You look like someone I know
Honestly
I asked him what he wanted most
$5 million
Then I asked him where he most wanted to go
Harbin
Then he gazed at me for a long time and said
You look like someone I know
Honestly
Remember, Ming Ming is my name
We'll go to Harbin together
Sure, get 5 million and we'll go to Harbin
He asked me what I wanted most
I said, one earth-shattering moment
Brother Cat. Give me $5 million
What are you up to?
Why 5 million?
I'm in love
Who is he?
Just guess
A new flame?
Do I know him?
I don't think you do
I will make you a bet
If he stays with you,
then the money is yours
Wanna bet?
Mousey, give her 5 million bucks
I think you'll regret it
If you lose...
I won't
You're so sure you won't lose?
Why do you think I will lose?
Just my gut feeling
Put the money inside
Here
Ming, leave the box
Put it down
Take the money and we are even
I am taking the box to keep my life
Bring back the box!
Detective Kong,
they found out my true identity
Hang on to it, and let's split! See you at the pier
Chase
Bring back the box
You look like someone I know
Honestly
I'm not in HK, leave me a message
Ming, come quickly
Hurry!
Hey, Ming Ming, hurry
That way!
- Hurry! - I'm not Ming Ming
Hurry
- Hey, I'm not Ming Ming - Hurry
Hey, Ming Ming, hurry
Get in! Hurry!
I'm not Ming Ming!
Wow, you've changed clothes?
Joey, Tu will come to see you
The girl, just call her Ming Ming
No matter what just send them to Shanghai...
just tell them D's in Shanghai
Ask Tu for the money
You're actually quite handsome
I thought you are taking me to the boat
I now understand why Ming gave you the bag
Hey, how did you know about the bag?
Remember, she only fancies D
D?
The boat leaves tonight for Shanghai
Shanghai? What if she won't come with me?
Dope her!
What?
Love's all about sacrifice
One more thing, you didn't pay me enough
so I've taken my share from your bag
What?
Am I Joey the Magic Thief, or Jane the Fortune-teller?
Ming Ming
Eh?
I'm in a good mood today, I can predict anything
Want to know what will happen between you and D?
D?
How come you want to see the soothsayer today?
Wonder if you'll be lucky enough to spend the money?
7-Up with bitter lemon OK with you?
Well, pick a card
See if he's got any secret...
other than Harbin
Well, do you want to know?
Shanghai!
Shanghai? What is he doing there?
Yeah, what is he doing in Shanghai?
For a woman
What woman?
One who's very important to him!
Ask me no more, that's all I know
This advice's for free,
I see plenty of red aeroplanes
Red aeroplanes
I've known him for so long
but I don't know what's on his mind
I've known him for so long
but I don't know what's on his mind
I've known you for some time
but I still don't know what he's thinking
Tell me
Can I hear your thoughts like this?
Five million. Harbin
That's my everything
And you? What do you want most?
Money... and being with you
I am in Shanghai for business...
Catch you later
Didn't you say you'll go to Harbin if you had 5 million?
Why suddenly go to Shanghai?
You have short hair?
Where are we going?
Shanghai
Why did you drug me?
Joey said D's in Shanghai
Brother Cat, that guy must be D
Brother Cat let you stay here?
What do you do for him?
I solve problems
Contract killer?
I never kill
Things can be settled with fists
And then?
Move on to another place
And you?
Me?
There's nothing I won't do...
to get what I want
I took $5 million from Brother Cat,
and a special box
Got a cigarette?
What's your name?
Tu
You don't remember?
Remember what?
You have asked me before...
I did? When?
The first time we met
Got a light?
Really? Where?
Brother Cat's place. Have you forgotten?
So what do you remember?
I walked past. You asked me for a light
And then?
Then you asked me my name
Just casual talks. Meant nothing
What's your name?
Tu
What do you know about me?
They say you're Brother Cat's favorite
And what do I do for Brother Cat?
Your name is Ming, that's all I know
Is that all?
Look
You shot me in my back?
So you already fell for me then?
Well? Admit it!
When was this?
The night of the fight
The fight?
A month ago
The night D won?
Right
Do you know remember where I was?
On the stairs...
What was I doing on the stairs?
You're with Brother Cat...
watching D the whole time
Watching D? How?
Like I was in love with him?
Where did I go afterwards?
I don't know
Did you know that I knew D?
How did you know?
Joey said that he's the only one you care about
I'm not in HK, leave me a message
What's between me and D is none of your business
Lend me your phone
D's in Shanghai
Ming Ming's on a boat with that kid.
He's called Tu...
He came here not long ago
I think D is waiting for them in Shanghai
Brother Cat, you can't let them go
I just want my box back
Right, I'll go to Shanghai
$5 million, Harbin, the drifting world...
I can sense something unusual is in the box
I yearn to open the box together with D
- Mosquito bites? - I'm fine!
Don't look!
You want to sleep up here?
In your dreams!
You sleep down there
What?
You sleep down there!
Do you notice anything different about me?
You look better with black hair
What do you mean? Don't I look good now?
I'm not pretty if my hair is not black, eh?
Either way you look pretty
What's so important about hair anyway?
But you started it
Get me a pair of scissors
Don't have one
Go find me a pair
Close your eyes
Ouch
Sorry. You OK?
I'm fine. It doesn't hurt
You look better this way
Does the wound still hurt?
No
What were you doing that day, holding my hand?
I hate people holding my hand
You threw the bag at me,
I didn't know what was going on
Why didn't you ask?
I was thinking, you wanted me to help
For what?
I thought you knew I could run fast
So you can run very fast?
Right
You know what's in the bag?
No
Really?
I know now
I'm telling you, the bag's mine
Don't mess with my stuff!
What are you going to do with the money?
I want to go to Harbin with D
Harbin...
I'll track him down for you
I'm not hungry anymore
Ever been to Shanghai?
No
Harbin... I hear it snows there eight months a year
I've never seen snow in my life...
I never offer to take you
This dock is huge!
It's even bigger over there
Hurry up
I watched her. She was holding the money so tight
for D or simply out of greed?
She couldn't have known that from that moment onward
her destiny would never be the same
What was originally a matter between me and D...
now suddenly became theirs
I felt they would continue on together...
What's wrong with you?
Nothing
Hurry up and find a place to shower. It's really itchy
Sure
Is this really Ming Ming?
You said she had long hair
Her bag's full of money
What I want is her money
Ming is close by
You guys keep an eye on Tu
Ming
With money, you can do anything
Put it on the other bed
Um...
I told you, the bag is mine
I brought you a pack of cigarettes
I just quit smoking
I know that if I stop smoking,
I'll see D again
Then I'll keep it
Give it back! You have your own
What do we do now?
Tomorrow we'll go look for red aeroplanes
Our color of this month is red
Would you like to come inside for a look?
Do you know D?
D? That handsome guy
Do you know where I can find him?
Try...
Propaganda, Door, Face, Luxy...
'cause it's ladies' night tomorrow
You want to come in for a look?
Ming...
Where's the money?
Come with us! Mousey wants to see you
The money
The money!
Run for it!
She's really got the money?
Look how nervous she is
There's no mistake
Mousey will get us for this
Let's pretend that we're following his orders
Haven't seen him for a few days
Didn't you say you'll go to Harbin for $5 million?
Why suddenly go to Shanghai?
I took 5 million from Brother Cat...
and an unusual box
Harbin... Be there or be square
They seem to be after the money
You scared?
No, I can run fast
Running's all you can do. Useless
Let me look at your wound. Come on
So many scars! Were you beaten up?
These are from a fight
And the one in front?
This one?
That was because of a girl
I kept something from her
so she threw something back at me
Really?
She was my elder sister
I refused to give her my toys
What about your arm?
- This one? - Right
I cut myself when my first girlfriend...
left me
Three weeks later,
I saw her dating with another guy
I saw D today
Did he see you?
I don't know
We'll look again tomorrow
I never know what's on his mind
So how long have you known him?
Half a year
So you know he wants to go to Harbin
Maybe he lied to me
If you love him, you shouldn't mind
You may not mind, but I do
I have a lot of things to say to him
Like...
Maybe he'll suddenly appear in front of me
Sorry, Sir. We are closed
Excuse me, has Miss Zhang returned?
She's not here. What do you want with her?
Leave me your mobile number,
I'll get her to call you
Thank you
Do you know D?
Do you know where he is?
How can I find him?
Have you seen him recently?
When was that?
D? What if I know him?
He will find you if he wants to
but finding him is impossible
I recently saw him with another woman
Do you know who he's with now?
He's with whoever one he's with now
Whenever he comes here, I would be his girl
Don't you want to keep him longer?
You think that's possible? He doesn't belong to anyone
not even to himself
You can't fail to know what sort of man he is
To him, all women are the same
So just be happy for your share of him
Did he mention going to Harbin?
D, our knight
He solves other's problems
Five million! Harbin
Peace Hotel
Yang Guang at the train station
I'm waiting for him
Don't you want to find him?
No. I just want him to come to me
Do you think he loves you?
So what if he loves him or not?
He made me feel loved
Take my advice: don't be too greedy
Look how happy I am now.
I feel happy just to think of him
Brother Cat. They're looking for D everywhere
Everyone says he wants 5 million to go to Harbin
Why Harbin? I don't know
As he spoke about it, that very second...
I suddenly wanted to go away with him,
from south to north
to see what's beyond the snow land
I heard you came looking for me many times
My name's D
I know. You solve problems for people
A toast for you
My father said mother liked drinking too
You inherited your mother's taste for wine
I don't know.
She was gone when I was little
You're here to tell me stories? I'm busy
I apologize for my impertinence
My father just passed away,
and I found a letter among his effects
an unsent letter to you...
asking you to contact my mother Zhang Haihua
You know her whereabouts, don't you?
He's dead? So stubborn, even to the end of his life
May I ask who you are?
What's your connection to my mother?
Drink up and I'll tell you
I'm your girlfriend
I remember all of my girlfriends
You look just the same as when you were little
Did I meet you when I was little?
Didn't your father tell you?
He only told me that mother died
What's the secret?
Where's my mother?
Drink up three glasses first
You won't find her
Why not?
She's dead
Are you telling the truth?
Whatever you know is the truth?
You don't believe me?
One should never trust...
what the rumors in the floating world
You're leaving? Not drinking anymore?
Someone came looking for you
I told him that you died
His name's D
What?
The box?
I'm beginning to wonder if...
without the 5 million
would D still...
Ming, I want my box back
How much?
5 million
OK. Mousey will contact you
Remember, don't open the box
It's a deal
They say D's here
If not, we can ask Yang Guang at the train station
I don't trust a word they say
Now that we're here, let's have a look
I don't know why, but I feel D's not here
Where's the money?
In my hotel room
Tu!
Run!
Come quickly!
Run! Hurry!
Come quickly!
You really think,
your fists can solve people's problems?
This box is 20mm long,
13mm wide, made of rosewood
Engraved lid, copper lock, neither water nor fire-proof
Content... unknown
We'll open the box together in Harbin
I saw him again tonight
We'll go and look again
So what if we find him?
He doesn't want to see me
Or maybe I don't ever want to see him again
Thanks for everything
- Forget it. - What?
Go into the bathroom, I want to change
Where to?
Bathroom, I want to change
I've decided not to search anymore
You'll be unhappy if you don't find him
All I know is I'm unhappy right now
Don't come out yet
I still have something to tell you
What is it?
I'm not Ming Ming
I'm Nana
You knew that, didn't you?
Tu... forget it
Whoever you are, whatever your name is...
I knew it was you
I knew it the first time I saw you
Let's go to Harbin...
to look for D...
see the winter...
You've never seen snow
Whatever will be will be
You are such an idiot! Moron!
How dare you touch me?
Don't think I'll like you just because you treat me nicely
I don't like good guys! They're all over the places!
Look at yourself! All you can do is run!
The money's all gone!
Without the money, we can still go to Harbin...
I promised I'd go with you
You really want to give her $5 million?
Brother Cat, you're too soft on Ming
Have you fully recovered?
I'm alright
Mousey, how long have you been with me?
More than ten years
How much do you know about me?
You've never hidden anything from me
And I know what I need to know
There are things always in front of you...
that you failed to notice
You only realize their importance when they're gone
Brother Cat, don't worry
Let's go to Harbin
OK
Sure. We'll go find Yang Guang tomorrow
He knows D's whereabouts
Oh
I only want to ask him why
They say find Yang Guang and you'll find D
Excuse me, do you know Yang Guang?
Yeah
Do you know where he is?
Over there
Do you know where I can find Yang Guang?
Over there... No, over there
- Over there? - Over there
Yang Guang? He is on track no. 3
Excuse me, where's Yang Guang?
Don't know
Don't know?
Where is he?
What shall we do now?
I can only get train tickets for tomorrow
Fine
How much money have we got left?
Not much
It's really cold
Not really
What time tomorrow night?
8:30 p.m.
Come on, run, I will catch up with you
Tell me something about Mingling
Come on
Ming Ming...
Hey, wait
Give me some money
How much?
Looks pretty good
Cool, eh? Isn't it warm?
Tell me
I really want to know if we look like twins
Nana
What?
Nothing. I just want to call out your name
Let's dash out of here
Now?
Let's go
Hey
Know how to ride a motorbike?
Sure
Let's go!
Where to?
Slow down
I heard a story about a box
A girl got a box
and she was told not to open it
She couldn't help opening it and thus...
releasing misery and sufferings into the world
The night after tomorrow...
Harbin, Money, and the Box
Open the box together
D is meeting me in Harbin the night after tomorrow
He said nothing else,
just that he'd open the box with me
I don't know why
he is curious about the box as I am
Where's the money?
You know Brother Cat is upset
Where's the box?
Didn't bring it
I never trust you
I just saw Ming
You sure? And you think I look like her too?
I don't know. I did not look at her closely
I'll go get you a drink
- I want... - I know
Tu, take care of the box,
return it to Brother Cat
Give me the box!
Don't forget that you're just a mouse
There's always a cat behind you
Give me the box.
Hand it over!
Give me the box!
Is the box really so important?
You call yourself a man?
Why don't you love me anymore?
D, my boy, the sky slowly darkened
I was alone with tons of memories
I heard it's been raining since I left Shanghai
and you've been crying and looking for mom
They told you I was dead...
you wouldn't believe it, and kept crying
When I heard all this, my heart aches
I didn't want you to live forever in a lie
I hope you'd understand my decision...
when you read this letter
That night I decided to leave you both
I stood and watched you...
that very moment I couldn't bear to leave
But I have passed the point of returning
I lived half of my life, and everything was a mistake
Maybe, it's wrong for me to be born...
as a woman
I tried to adapt,
to accept and to love
I got married and had you, but I was never happy
Can you understand this kind of sorrow?
You're really leaving
For another man, right?
That very second, I was falling, and falling
I thought I was going to die
But I survived in the end. Only a leg was broken
I have no regrets
D, my darling, it's a awful decision
but tomorrow I'll become someone else
Life is full of endless pursuits
Only by letting go,
only by no longer being Zhang Haihua
no longer being a woman
Can I cut away from the past and be reborn?
It's the only way I can live for real
This is the only photograph of me before
Remember the snow in the photo?
I would really love to stroll in a snow field
Finally, I pray for your forgiveness
If one day you look at this photo...
without bitterness,
I will be relieved. Mom
I have the box now
I want to know where Zhang Haihua is
She's dead
Is she with you?
She died a long time ago
Mom, where's this place?
Harbin
I want to go there
It costs a fortune
How much?
5 million!
Right now, what do you want most?
Where do you want to go
5 million, Harbin... that's all I want
Brother Cat, I'm sorry. I opened the box
I knew you'd open it
This box sits in front of me for years
and it was like I didn't even have that past...
until the day you took it.
Then I remembered that I wrote this letter
mailed it, and it was returned undelivered
I put it in a box and forgot about it
The box was taken from me and I got it back
Truth is I never forgot what I wanted to forget
Just burn what's inside the box
Brother Cat asked me about my future plans
Who knows what will happen next?
Probably I will go somewhere freezing cold
From Harbin...
to Ukraine... Siberia...
The world's such a big place, it's a good way to roam.
