Tin-Yun, I want another...
Haiyi is a big girl now...
I want another child
What?!
I want a son!
Buttons up... go to sleep
Turn off the light
Sure, I'll button up
Go find more customers!
Maybe it was because he was unfaithful...
the Gods stopped looking out for Lee
Lee's luck took a turn, meanwhile...
the economy took a plunge
His business started to go downhill
Listen to Uncle Tak
Stick with what you know
We won't stand in your way
Have a bowl of noodles first!
And some premium Longjing tea!
You invested millions in the school
Consider it a loan from the company...
that you need to repay with interest
Then it's settled
Eat the noodles before they get cold!
All profits go to the company...
but you must swallow any losses
After finishing this bowl of noodles
Lee would be officially in debt
It was hard to swallow...
but he had to force it down
Move, Big Mouth!
Brother Lee!
Everyone is there
Let's go!
Yes, sir!
Lock the door
Hong Kong Police! Stay in your seats!
And be quiet!
What's happening?!
Just keep quiet!
- Cover my face! - Shut up and move!
Move it!
No pictures! You heard me!...
Take a good picture! My name is Big Eyes!
Shut up and move!
At around 1 0 o'clock tonight...
over a hundred police officers...
raided a Kowloon City restaurant
According to our sources...
notorious triad Loyalty Society...
was hosting a banquet for...
senior triad members
After being tipped off...
police conducted a large scale raid...
and arrested dozens of suspects
You're so dead!! It's all over!
You sound like my mother
It's all over the evening news!
What're you going to tell your daughter this time?
You think I'm an idiot?
I turned my back to the camera!
And that's all they got!
No one will recognize me!
Well...
Maybe he's right
I am right!
Well then, we'll see...
whether the newspapers and tabloids got a shot of you
You won't see it, you won't see it...
You can't find out
Never do wrong, never get caught
She won't find out...
She just can't find out
That night, Lee couldn't sleep
He realized that...
there were things that money and power couldn't solve
"Tiger Lee Arrested!"
"Triad Setback!"
Please think it over, don't just drop out
Who's in charge here? Who?!
You are? My daughter is dropping the class and I want a refund
Stop!
What is it, dear? We aren't there yet
- I'll walk - Be careful!
Haiyi!
Put on your jacket... Haiyi!
Haiyi, put on your jacket!
It's cold!
- She knows - She doesn't!
Stop talking nonsense!
You should talk to her
I won't talk to her and I won't let her know!
Lee Tin-Yun, what's this?!
How would I know! Big Eye borrowed the car yesterday
Keep you dirty business away from my car!
What is it with you women? Don't I need to make a living?
A few days later, Haiyi celebrated her 11th birthday...
but none of her classmates showed up
Let's blow the candles out...
and cut the cake?
Haiyi, grandma wants some cake now
See, we all want the cake...
- Sit down! - Sit down!
Stay put!
- I'm Peter - Hi!
My sister Shirley is sick
She asked me to deliver this present to Lee Haiyi
Really? Thank you!
Peter...
why don't you come in for some cake?
It's delicious!
Please come in
Haiyi, Shirley's brother is here!
Good, you're done!
Have another piece!
Here, another piece!
I'm full
What?
I... am full
What?!
Have another piece
I can't eat anymore
Come on, it's Haiyi's birthday!
Take your time, the 4th piece is coming
Is that me?
It doesn't look like me at all!
It looks like someone else
It reminds me a little of Sean Connery
- I don't look like Sean Connery - You do!
- You're naughty - Hurry up!
I drank more than any of you
Where's my car?
Over there
Hurry up, go get it...
Lee Tin-Yun had this dream before
Stop!
Forget it
I'm not involved...
Absolutely not!
They're all Big Mouth's girls
She won't believe that...
Who's she... she's Big Eyes' sister
How about...you! Get in the car
No, no... Get out of the car!
Who? She's a pedestrian
Woman? What woman?!
The woman's name is Sue...
a manicurist from Sauna 33
She joined your sauna 2 years ago
Recently, you started to take her out
Your crew call her Miss Sue
I suppose very soon, they will call her Madam Sue
I thought we were...
trying to save the tutorial school, clear your debt...
then you could quit the triad
Mabel
It was just a fling
You know I've been going through a bad stretch...
I fired her already and I won't see her again
You know you're the only one I truly love
How about this?
I swear...
I promise never to hurt you again!
Lee Tin-Yun
If you cheat on me again, I'll leave you!
I swear!
Okay, okay...
No wonder you got sick... what a dump!
I got you a new toothbrush and toothpaste
Don't use what the hospital gives you?
I tell you...
No one stays lucky forever
Your luck will run out sooner or later
Haiyi will find out all about you
How can you curse me even when you're sick?!
Just shut up for once
I can't!
My mouth is the only thing I have left
Tell me...
Is there a mother...
who doesn't want her son to be a good man?
But I won't live to see it
Hey, kid
Thank you, mister
You need to pee?
I'll get the bedpan
Remember when you were little...
you wanted those super balls so much
You even stole from your classmates to buy them
I remember...
you almost beat me to death
Nothing can kill a rascal like you
Do you want to know why...
I stole from my classmates?
Because we didn't have the money...
and you were jealous of what other people had
You promised me if I passed the exam...
you would buy me super balls
You broke your promise!
That's why I stole the money!
Did you ever pass an exam?
I scored 59!
I was only 1 point away! I really studied hard.
Do you want me to pay for something I did 30 years ago?!
Now what? Do you still want to pee?
Or do you want the doctor...
to hook you up to a urine bag?
Go away
Come on... Put on your slippers
Put them on
Careful... watch the tube
Cut that out!
I was only trying to help
Are you okay?
I didn't break my word;
I bought the super balls!
But I found out you had joined a gang...
and were stealing
I was so angry that I threw them away!
Oh, don't bring Haiyi here again,
the hospital is full of germs!
I just don't understand you!
Deep down, you want to see her...
but you say the opposite?!
How long have you known me for?
I always say the opposite of what I mean!
How could he not know...
when he behaved in exactly the same way
His mother knew him all too well
Her son was exactly like her
That's why she worried about him
Lee had only cried twice in his life
The first time was when he was born
The second time...
was when you left the world, mother
I didn't know the first time...
but you told me about it
You didn't know about the second time...
but there was no way I could tell you
In between these times I cried...
we had countless fights and arguments
You beat me...
you cursed me...
you scolded me...
over and over again...
for years and years.
You knew it all...
and I remembered them all
Lee remembered well
... the 3 curses from his mother
He was determined not to let them happen
He vowed that no matter what it takes...
Mabel and Haiyi would see...
what his mother never lived to see
What were the keys again?
You can say -
"It has nothing to do with you"
In other words, it's none of your damn business!
Damn it, Tin-Yun...
Your tutorial school hasn't made a payment in months
You'll get it soon
Enrollment is steady...
and... exam season is coming
I plan on doing more promotion and recruiting star tutors
More students will register
You say the same thing every time!
Can't you come up with another excuse?
Boss...
We're gangsters,
but we can't do this, we can't do that...
We can't even traffic pirated CDs!
We don't know how to help you
Everyone else is getting rich!
who is?
No one
He only means...
we're dabbling in things we know nothing about
Are you telling me what to do now?!
I'm not holding you against your will
If you think you'd be better off with someone else...
then should!
Big Eyes!
We've been brothers for a long time, you know how I feel
If you're with me, don't say anymore
I'll shut up and go back to being a schoolmaster
You're back so soon
How long do you think it takes to pee?
Start the car
He knew once the debt was cleared, he could leave the organization...
He knew he just had to wait for the right moment...
and take one step at a time
For the sake of his family...
Lee could face anything...
except one thing -
Papa
He couldn't prevent Haiyi...
from growing up
Keep quiet...
The 3rd race, on 6, 7, 8 and 9...
$1 00,000 each... 1 00 grand each
You have my word, hurry!
Got it, thanks
Wouldn't it be nice to live there...
when we retire?
Would they give you the papers?
Let's worry about that later
The school lost money again this month
She's on the phone day and night
Who's she talking to?
Mom, papa, I'm going out
- Okay... - Okay...
Ask where she's going and what time she'll be back!
- Where'll you go, Haiyi? - Tell her not to turn off her phone...
- and check in... - When you'll be home?
- Do not turn off your phone. - I'll pick her up if it's late
Call your father to pick you up if it's late
Bye-bye!
Bye!
What's wrong with you?! You didn't get any answers!
You should have asked her yourself...
instead of just sitting there and repeating what I say!
Your daughter is the one who's not answering
What kind of a mother are you?
If anything happens to Haiyi, it's your fault!
The worst thing might be that she's out dating?
Boss...
Let's go
- I told you it was bad news - I knew it
Give me a break - the next kingpin?
Just to earn a pittance each month?
Count me out,
I'm too busy making big money!
Being number one makes you a target
There's always contract out on his head
I think Lee would be perfect
Good, that settles it
He'll be good for the image of the organization
We're gathered here today...
to discuss who our next kingpin will be
Everyone owes the organization
You should be willing to show your loyalty
Big Eyes...
Bring me all the cash you can get from the gambling dens...
and massage parlors...
Now!... Bye
I've thought it over
I'm joining the police force after I graduate
The police force? Sounds good
When I was younger,
I saw classmates forced into joining the Triads
But they never bothered me -
maybe because I was big and strong
The truth is, I hate the Triads
Maybe I should join the Triad Bureau?
What's wrong?
Look at me and hold your breath
My mom told me...
holding your breath stops the hiccups
Pinch your nose
Did you hear me?
Just do what I say!
Deliver the money there tomorrow and...
That's it
- Good bye - Bye-bye
Oh, hi, uncle!
Aren't you Haiyi's father?
How did you know?
Don't you remember me?
I'm Peter!
You offered me cake when I was little
I ate 3 pieces!
I... Am... full
What?!
Peter...
What a coincidence!
I live over here, would you like to come in?
Daddy
Oh, you're back
You're going out?
Yes
Lee Tin-Yun!
He's your son?
Yes, Peter's my son
Your son is dating my daughter
You should say they're dating each other
Uncle!
Haiyi and I practically grew up together!
We're really good old friends!
What're you going to do?
Forbid your daughter from seeing my son...
or send a few thugs to teach my son a lesson?
It's out of your control.
Inspector Lau
Please...
don't tell Haiyi
About what?
You know what I mean
You mean after all these years...
you still haven't let Haiyi know you're a...
I just need a few more years before I go straight
Just give me a few more years
Son of a bitch,
how dare you steal from my boss?!
You'll be sorry!
It's me, Big Mouth!
Gather the men and find Mok Doun!
Yes! That's it!
Tin-Yun, what do we do now?
US dollars, jewels...
funds... we'll sell everything
Just calm down
Just quit, even we lost all the money!
Let me worry about it
I can think of something
What do you plan to do?
I'm warning you...
if you go back to your old ways...
I'll leave you and take Haiyi with me!
Go ahead? Go on, leave!
I'm calling you!
Do you know him?
Come here!
No
What do you want?!
- Haiyi - What is it?
You bitch!
Stop that!...
Leave him alone...
- Move... - Cut that out!
Who started the fight?
What happened?!
Who hit my son?!
Lee Haiyi
- Lee Haiyi! - Calm down
Avoid the disco next time,
okay? Go to bed now, go
Why did you start the fight?
It's not my fault, I went there to dance
But Uncle Big Head's son was bothering Shirley
- I couldn't let it go - Of course...
She was protecting her friend; her intentions were honorable
Honorable?
Do you think Big Head cares about honor?
If Haiyi brings trouble down on you...
No one's going to be talking about honor
It won't happen again... go rest now
You stay here!
What did I teach you?
You blame me for everything that...
happens to our daughter!
Neither of you listen to me!
I used to worry about your father not coming home!
Now I have to worry about you too?!
We have rules in this house?
Do you really think you're all grown-up?
There are places you just can't go!
Do you understand?
That disco is partly owned by papa!
So what?!
That's exactly why you can't go there!
- Stop it... - Why not?
Uncle Big Eyes was there, I was protected
And why is that?!
Haven't we always wanted her...
to have a normal life?
But you always ruin everything!
She's been surrounded by your men her whole life!
You call that protection?
That's enough!
Now she has turned out just like you
When she gets angry, she beats people up!
Can't you see what you've turned into?
They deserved to be beaten up!
I don't like seeing people being bullied!
Who do you think you are?!
The daughter of a triad boss?!
Why did you have to say it?
I hate both of you!
Mr. Chan...
Sir...
Say something
Papa
After all these years,
you finally called me "papa"
I promised Mabel...
I wouldn't raise my hand
But it doesn't mean I can't use my head!
- Honey! - I said go away!
Come on, I've called you dad
If you don't leave, I'll kill you!
Papa!
I didn't raise a finger!
But I helped you get revenge!
1 0 sixes!
1 0 sixes?!
- You're out of your mind! - You bluffer... show your hand!
Drink up!
- Drink up! - You bluffer!
Tiger, what did you just say? I didn't hear
Help me out...
I need to borrow 8 million dollars
Boss, your car key
Son of a bitch...
There's a big blob of earwax!
Say it again, I didn't hear you!
- You got earwax too?... - Yes...
Move over
I'm asking you for 8 million dollars
The music is too loud, speak up!
- It's noisy here... - Y es, it is...
Scumbag! Lend me 8 million dollars!
Alright, no problem
Just tell your daughter to beg my son for forgiveness
Good idea!
Boss!
Stay there, wait for me
Get your car!
My car!
Get in!
We have to find the man who attacked Big Head!
You're his brother, what do you think we should do?
The doctor said he might not wake up
Tin-Yun, you decide
We've just made you the new kingpin, it's all on you now
Oh, what about Big Head's upcoming shipment?
Who will take care of it now?
Tin-Yun, of course!
You're in charge
You have to take care of it
I want to quit
Quit?
I want to spend time with my family
So what?
We haven't even discussed...
the money you owe us
An eye-witness saw you attack Big Head, don't deny it!
You don't have any choice! None
Do you know how much money Big Head...
made for us over the last few years?
Do you know how many brothers depend on him?
If the truth gets out, your family will be dead!
We need someone to take over,
show your loyalty
Then everyone's happy!
You can quit the day you die
Wake up!!!...
It was just one punch
Why did it have to be so heavy...
and dead-on?
Why even bother hitting him at all?
Even though Big Head deserved it...
Lee wished he could take it all back...
but it was too late
No matter how hard you try...
some mistakes can't be fixed
You're up early!
I'm meeting someone
Your boyfriend?
Can you stop following me around?
I need my own space!
Haiyi...
You're a big girl now
- What papa does outside... - I don't want to hear it!
I don't want to hear it!!!
When is mother coming back?
So you didn't go see her
She hit you! She can scold you but...
You shouldn't have hit her
You always take your mother's side
No matter what Papa does...
you'll always see me as the bad guy
That's not true...
I don't know...
How would I know?
I don't know...
I know you're not a bad man, but...
But people in the triads are all criminals?
I don't want to know
Don't sit beside me
I don't want to see your face
I don't have the time or the patience for this...
I admit it's all my fault
I shouldn't have hit you
Please come home
Did you agree to be their new kingpin?
I used to think that...
you couldn't live without me
But after you left...
I realized that our daughter can't live without you...
I can't either
Did you really say yes to them?
In the last few years, I really thought I would see...
what your mother didn't live to see
But it was all an illusion!
You're beyond hope
It's not...
It's not what you think
I have no control over what happens
Let's just run away...
the three of us, the farther the better!
We'll change our identities and disappear
They won't find us
We'll never return, okay?
Let's go away, okay?
My troubles end with me
I'll take care of it myself! I don't want to drag you two into it
That's right! It's all your fault!
Aren't you the kingpin now?!
Can't you do just whatever you want?!
I'm asking you now
What do you want?!...
Father...
Does Jesus believe in karma?
Is it true that...
we pay for our sins?
Jesus told us that lost lambs...
I'm not lost!
I have nowhere else to turn!
Each road leads to a dead end
I'm a dead man. It's only a matter of time
Whoever tries to keep his life...
will lose it...
I just want to be a good father
Why is that so hard?!
And whoever loses his life for my sake...
will find it
If your hand or...
your foot causes you to sin...
cut it off and throw it away
It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled...
than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire
Unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies...
it remains only a single seed
But if it dies, it produces many seeds
Are you staying for dinner? I bought groceries
Drink more soup...
Papa is gone!
Papa isn't gone! I'll make you new ones, okay?
I going out now
Papa, bye-bye!
It was an evening that Lee would never forget
On his way out...
he suddenly recalled the moment he joined the triad
But now it was different...
he had Mabel sitting there, smiling at him...
as if she was telling him that...
they would be waiting for him
In those days, the mahjong parlor was here...
and the restaurant over there...
There was a newsstand in front...
and the rest belonged to the Loyalty Society
You've forgot something -- the brothels!
The ones that opened early...
for desperate men like you!
I had to do my rounds early...
because my boss was an early riser
So boss...
What about Big Head's shipment?
Is there any way you can get out of going?
Why don't I go in your place?
Do you know what to do?!
Do you?
We can go together!
Your wife has just given birth
Does it matter?!
What does it have to do with you two?
Do you know the place?
Do you know the time?
Shit! It's none of your business!
Wow, it's been a long time since you last swore
Really?
Yes! Since your daughter was born!
He's getting rusty
Throw this away for me
I'll see myself off
- Boss! - Boss!...
Let's go to a salon together someday
Look at you, you've turned grey
And you've already started to dye your hair...
Bye
Boss!
Boss...
I think you haven't figured out who your boss is
I heard you wanted to quit
Quit when you still have the chance
I've dealt with the Thai man many times
I can take one of our men;
you don't have to go yourself
The boat has arrived
They're on board
Don't try any tricks, or you're a dead man
It's good, boss
I'll come home soon, mom...
Who are you? I don't know you!
Send someone we know next time!
What's he yacking about? Tell him to count faster!
He said he's never met you
Take the stuff and get going!
Where's Big Head?
Big Head is dying
What...
We're busted! Call Chicken!
Pull out! We're busted!
Chicken, run!
The cops are coming! Dump it all!
Run! Quick!
Cops?! You betray us!
Start the boat!
Boss, run!
Your luck will run out one day
Haiyi will find out all about you
You'll die on the streets!
My mother said I would die on the streets... not on a boat
Lee entered the underworld in less than a minute...
but he spent half his life trying to get out
At that moment, he knew he could finally quit
He left in such a hurry...
he took nothing with him...
and left nothing behind
But my story hasn't ended yet...
Who shot me?
Was Chicken working undercover for Inspector Lau?
Did Big Head wake up eventually?
Who became the new kingpin?
To me, it's all in the past
and of little importance
Nine out of ten Triad members end up dead...
Maybe I'm the one who gets spared instead?
Police Informant Provides Lead
After I was reborn...
I asked God each day for one thing...
Give me a chance to see my family again
Forgive my ignorance and my recklessness
Give me a chance to see my family again
Forgive my ignorance...
Peter and Haiyi...
You have come here today...
in the presence of God...
and the Holy Mother to profess your love for one another
Love is kind, love is forgiving
Love is never jealous, nor full of pride
May God bless the love between you, may it continue to grow
By the powers vested in me, I now pronounce Peter and Haiyi, man and wife
Please forgive me, God...
Forgive my ignorance and my recklessness...
Give me a chance to see my family again
