In Shandong county a drought broke out in 1898;
People lived in great poverty
Hordes of refugees left home
and rushed to Shanghai for a better life
Under the Shanghai International Settlement
Shanghai was controlled by the British
and was a major trading port
between foreigners and Chinese
The city of Shanghai
was a place of luxury and dissipation
and also where gangsters struggled for power
Among the local gangsters
Tam See and Yang Shuang were most powerful
Tam had the support of the British
Yang was backed by the local police
and ruled different parts of Shanghai
Dad used to say:
When someone leaves home
He must carry seeds from home
The train is coming
When they blossom and bear fruit
One's career will proceed smoothly
What's wrong?
I hope this jasmine will grow
The train is here!
Do you think this jasmine...
Come on, follow me...
will blossom some day?
Come on!
Run... we must get on
I will
Wing Jing!
Where are you?
Tai Cheung!
Wing Jing!
Come on!
We can finally leave...
We quit!
Listen, northerners!
Everyone needs ajob in Shanghai
Plenty of people will take yourjobs
You should be grateful I hired you
Who the hell do you think you are?
Shut up!
Right!
I quit!
We quit!
Looking for ajob?
I want ajob with prospects
Did you read the sign outside?
Yes
They're not promising at all
You're skinny and pale
What can you do?
Look at my hands
I can do what a few men can
I'm strong
On your back!
See? So what if you're strong
You're still a coolie
Here's another sack for you
Why 2 sacks for me?
What's wrong with you?
You're bullying migrant workers
Move it!
Hurry!
I carried 2 sacks, you're paying me for 1
Who gave you 2?
You're lucky I didn't dock your pay!
Damn!
Whose carriage is that?
I overheard the others
Tam See owns it
He's the most powerful man in the Bund
He owns the dock
He left Shandong at 18
and came to Shanghai alone
In less than 2 years he marked his turf
He's best known for getting rid of
the 7 Tigers from Guangdong overnight
and made all the gangs wary of him
Another gangster Yang Shuang
knew he was no match for him
and collaborated with the local police
They're the only contenders for the Bund
Master Yang...
If we get rid of Tam See
we'll rule the Bund
With the local police backing Yang Shuang
Tam See must be at a disadvantage
Wrong!
Why?
The local police backs Yang Shuang
But the British favor Tam See
The British?
Tam See controls the dock
to do business with the British
With the British behind him
The local police is useless in the Settlement
They wouldn't dare touch Tam See
Don't touch!
What is it?
This blasted coolie
touched Master Tam's horse
You damn coolie
How dare you touch the horse! Fix him!
So what if I'm a coolie? You have no right
People from Shandong are not to be messed with
Do you know whose horse this is?
Definitely not yours!
Fix him!
What's your name?
Ma Tai Cheung, aka Maradona
Who are you?
People call me Tam See around here
Master Tam...
I'm asking you
Ma Wing Jing
Judging from your accent, you from Shandong?
You have the temper to match it
If you want to make a living in the Bund
Remember not to quarrel with money
Pick it up if you want it
If you like my carriage
You can clean it for me
I'll give you a silver dollar each time
Pick it up, that's a dollar!
How many sacks you have to carry?
If you don't think of yourself
Think of your mother back home!
Pick it up!
Hurry up!
You're such a loser, Ma Wing Jing
You bow your head over a dollar
Aim higher if you want to get rich
This watch is worth a lot more
I dare you to take it
That's robbery!
That's how things are done in Shanghai
You're right!
Remove your hand!
Watch out!
Do you know why
I won't let you pick up the silver dollar?
Why?
Someone once told me
If you refuse to get down on your knees
When you die and reincarnate
You'll become a man of noble stature
I don't want you to get down on your knees
over a mere dollar
I'm giving you this watch
I'll get my own
You can keep yours, thanks
You're quite talented
But it's tough to make a living in the Bund
You can find me at the Spring Lake
I'll do what I can to help you
He won!
You're incredible!
Amazing!
Let's go to Spring Lake
Why?
To enjoy the singing
I heard they have a great singer
We can't go dressed like this
I know a guy called Xiao Jiangbei
He works back stage
Maybe he can get you ajob
Job my foot!
I hear business is good at Spring Lake
Spring Lake is managed by
Tam See's mistress Yam Yeung Tien
The singer Kim Ling Tze is pretty and talented
It's always a full house
You're the 4 Kings of the Axe Gang
the most capable men in Shanghai
You'll find a way
You mean...
Do what you have to
I want that club
Yes, sir
Sorry, Master Yang
Don't ruin the suits
I'll get fired if the supervisor sees you
We'll look around backstage
They'll think we're staff
Xiao Jaingbei
Don't go wandering around
Alright!
Let's go!
I know you can't stand it
Life in Shanghai is so colorful
This is for you!
Your hair is disgusting!
You have no taste!
Sit down!
Let me go!
You're hurting me! Let go, I'll stay
Sit down!
My hand...
This is Master Tam's club
So what?
He can't watch you forever
We'll take over soon
Understand?
I don't care if it's Tam See
Yang Shuang
or Kim Laoqi before him
I paid for protection
Blood suckers like you are nobody
Master Fan
Yam Yeung Tien
Bullying a girl now?
Run along, Xiao Kim
What is it, Madam Yam?
I'm just flirting with the singer
You used to do that with Kim Laoqi
But since Tam See gave you this club
This is suddenly beneath you
Tell your Boss
If he has the ability
He can snatch this from Tam See
I admire a capable man
Can you help me?
My kid is sick...
Sure, go ahead
Thanks
Drop by my place after work
Alright?
That's so cheap!
Don't touch her!
What are you doing?
Let me...
You sell cigarettes here?
Yes! And you?
I'm new! I'm a musician
Do you know where is Kim Ling Tze?
What time does she come on?
You haven't seen her? Her picture is out front...
I came in through the back...
I haven't met her
I heard she's an excellent singer
Men in Shanghai have fallen under her charm
You have a nice voice
You're very charming yourself
Too bad I don't have any money
Or else I'll buy all your cigarettes
and let you get off work early
Smoking is not good for you
Don't worry, I'm good looking enough
Hey, who is he?
Hey, don't come up, go down...
What are you doing?
Manager...
Not bad!
That's my brother!
Tam See's men are here!
Help me!
Let's go!
Run!
Stop!
Wing Jing!
You don't work for Tam See! Never seen you before
Don't get me mixed up with Tam See
Why did you fight?
I didn't start it
He hit my brother first!
Right!
We're the 4 Kings of the Bund
We work for Master Yang
We're the Handsome Brothers from Shandong
What's your name? Where do you live?
Ma Wing Jing! I stay at an inn if I can afford it
otherwise I sleep on the street
I'll be back! Let's go
We're leaving?
Look!
He bloody broke my fingers in that punch
He's rather unusual
We have to tell the Boss
Let's go!
Brother Ma
Hold this!
You fought them off for us
Please accept this!
Go ahead and spend it
I'll tell Master Tam
He knows me!
Tell him I didn't do it for him
I did it for myself
I won't take his money
What's wrong with you?
The kid doesn't appreciate favors
Says who? If I were in his shoes
I wouldn't take the money either
Can you do me a favor?
Anything
We didn't pay our way in here
One of the staff Xiao Jaingbei
let us in through the back
Please go easy on him
I would really appreciate that
No problem! Consider it done!
Let's go!
How stupid! You can give me the money...
We could have spent it on a big meal
But you had to turn down the money
Don't you understand?
I admire Tam See, I want to be like him
I can't take his money
I'll make my own
Such a pretty jasmine
No other flower has a stronger fragrance
I would like to pick one
But its admirer scolded me
I would like to pick one
But I'm afraid it won't bloom
Invite Tam See to the Green Lotus and apologize
Yang Shuang's men
You're asking for trouble!
Damn!
Yang Shuang has been in Shanghai all these years
He never dared to move in on my turf
He's up to no good
Are you going to the Green Lotus?
Of course! Have someone check it out first
I will
You don't spend the night anymore
I already told you
You're not getting any younger
You should understand
Find a man and get married!
What do you mean?
People like me go to sleep at night
And may not wake up the next day
We live on the edge
I can't afford to have a woman around
You manage my club
Not my life!
At least finish the pear
No woman in Shanghai
can make you stay?
He likes jasmine too
Listen to that song
It's full of emotions
I only know she's charming
Yes!
She can charm me
Money is everything in Shanghai
Men around Kim Ling Tze
are rich and powerful
Think about who you are!
Yes, I need nice clothes
What does that mean?
Robbery!
Oh my God!
Forget God!
We only want money
Put on your shoes! You're a singer
Going bare footed is so embarrassing
I bought you a pair of shoes
so that you'll look prettier
Today is a lucky day
The marriage star is in the ascendant
Maybe it's the coolie
Don't even think about it!
I brought you to the city
so that you'll find a worthy husband
Now you fall for a coolie
What can I tell your mother?
You came all the way to meet a coolie
I only met him once, I'm not marrying him
I'm not that casual
Casual?
Some guy is looking for you
Come back! Give me back your shoes
Does he look a bit melancholic?
He's not pretending
It comes from the heart
Who are you?
We're secret agents
He's No. 2 and I'm No. 1
Look how his ears tremble
and how his hair falls out
Since he met you
He has become gaunt and sallow
If you want to know why
Meet him tonight at the bridge
and you'll find out! Bye!
If you have any sister
You're welcome to bring her along
What a weird look!
I'm going to write your mother! Come along!
Uncle!
It's done!
What did you tell her?
That we're government agents
You're No. 2 and I'm No. 1
That's how women are
She'll be intrigued by the suspense
They're curious creatures
You didn't have to say we're agents
You expect me to tell her
we're nothing but coolies?
Use your head!
Where to?
The bridge
Sure...
Come back, Xiao Kim!
Don't go to meet him! Come back!
Grandma, why must I carry a red string
on the first date?
The first time I met your grandpa
My friends told me
If I can tie a knot with the red string
the marriage will work
Government agents?
Come here!
Come over here!
No! You'll hit me
I'll hit you whether you come over or not
You have no heart!
I'm your brother!
But you're a liar!
How dare you...
Her whole family is here!
Your future fatherinlaw is a cop?
Are they the robbers?
Oh...
My God
Sign here!
I can't write, sign it for me
Just do it!
Sign...
Listen up...
Captain!
Tam See and Yang Shuang
are meeting at the Green Lotus
to discuss what happened at the Spring Lake
The Commissioner wants Tam See taken care of
Get ready...
Yes, sir
Hurry...
Get changed and we'll put you in the cell
Here...
Master Tam
We checked
Yang Shuang brought the 4 Kings
Fusheng, come with me
Tiger, wait here with the rest of them
I want to come with you
Maybe I can help
Tiger, lately you seem to disagree
with everything I say
Master Tam!
It's the same for a singer and a hooker
Men are not to be trusted
He's not coming!
You must be patient!
Let's have a snack first!
We must get out
Why?
I overheard them
They'll ambush Tam See at the Green Lotus
I must warn him
Are you crazy? They're armed
How can we get out?
Give it here!
Forget it!
Give it to me!
Think again! You can still turn back!
Cut the crap!
Or I'll hit you
I'm not giving it to you if you're ferocious
Alright, I wont, just give it to me
I don't believe you
Trust me, give it here!
Be gentle!
Fine!
I'll never yell at you again!
Give it here!
I believe you!
Under the table...
Promise?
Damn!
Why did you give me a shoe?
See? I knew it!
Sorry!
You're my brother!
It hurts me to hit you!
Really?
Yes!
I believe you!
What are you doing?
Sorry! You were so nice
I don't want to hurt you
That's why those bullets...
You asshole!
I'll kill you
Or I'm not Ma Wing Jing
What are you doing?
Did my heart stop beating?
No!
Am I dead?
No!
You passed the gun back and forth
in front of me
It means you think I'm dead!
Have another bowl!
And he'll be here
"Green Lotus Restaurant"
Master Tam, about last night...
I don't know who caused disruption at the Spring Lake
I have always respected you
No matter what happens
Justice will be served today!
Come here, Fan Gen!
Which hand did you use?
I...
You better do it yourself
Boss...
What goes around comes around!
Go ahead, Master Tam!
Ready the knife!
Listen to me...
I've seen everything since I was 18
I'm not narrow minded
I came here to eat
Not to cause trouble, otherwise...
You can't even come through the front door
If you want to make it in Shanghai
Stay off my turf!
If you're willing to make friends
Drink up
and we'll start with a clean slate
Quite right...
Cheers!
We'll lure them away
and arrest Yang Shuang
and let Yang Shuang's men get rid of Tam See
What are you doing?
Arrest them!
Do you know Master Tam
is having dinner with Master Yang?
Arrest them!
Arrest them all!
Yes!
This is outrageous!
These local cops...
We got word
about your bosses' negotiation
over the Spring Lake
You're wanted for questioning
What for?
There's law and order in Shanghai
The local cops are nothing
We're friends with Mr. Lawson of Jardine
You better watch out!
Take him away!
Master Tam...
Don't bother my men!
Take them away!
Move it...
Tam See, I know about the guns
you bought from the British
They're on their way here
and you're ready to deal next month
Don't let me catch you!
Captain!
Master Yang, I took care of Tam See's men
Thanks, Captain Zhao
I'll leave everything to you
That's not true!
Everyone knows only cops carry guns
It's illegal to possess firearms
Don't be so cocky!
You rely on the British
and turn them against us
This is China
I'm telling you
They can't protect you forever
You better watch it!
After you kill Tam See
The Bund will be ours
Go!
Yes...
Run, Master Tam
Don't move!
Take it easy!
Don't pee on my gun!
About your breakout from the police station
I'll have the British take care of it
What is it you want in Shanghai?
We want you to look after us
Eating lavish meals everyday
Don't talk nonsense!
What about you?
My wish?
My wish...
is to retire
with the woman I love
and spend the rest of my life with her
Just one woman?
You can have 10
Damn! I forgot!
Take Master Tam home
He can't make up his mind
If you can't have him, you can have me
What can you do?
I'm lucky!
Want another bowl?
We'll be eating breakfast soon!
How come...
You'll throw up if you cry...
Don't do this!
I'm sorry, I already did
My new shoes!
Wipe out every site
Yang Shuang owns in Shanghai
Tam See destroyed my joints
You must try to stop him
End the trouble you have started
You should take care of it
Master Tam, Yang Shuang wants to meet with you
Being backed by the local police isn't everything
Stop dreaming! Tell the cops to talk to me
2 days ago, the police
arrested your men
and you were ambushed! It was an accident
This is between you and Yang Shuang
It has nothing to do with us
What do you want with me?
We both know what's going on
Look at him...
He took Yang Shuang the other day
Help me...
How dare you move in on my men!
The assassins are not local
You'll never find them
Things like this happen all the time
If you continue to back Yang Shuang
and collaborate with them
Accidents like this can happen to you too
You support Yang Shuang
I'll support someone else
The Spring Lake
is not my concern anymore
I'm giving it to Ma Wing Jing
But keep this in mind
You better pray nothing happens to him
If he goes out
and gets run over by a car
or is killed by some unknown assassin
I'll hold you responsible
Master Tam thinks Ma Wing Jing can help you
Tell him
I'll take good care of Ma Wing Jing
Tell him not to worry
Excellent! I'll tell him
A coolie stood you up
One must remain graceful
Uncle Feng, the Boss just fired you
What?
Uncle... don't!
I'll kill you!
Don't bully my uncle...
Wing Jing...
Welcome!
Take it easy!
You don't have to apologize
Brother Ma!
We've been waiting for you
Master Tam gave you the Spring Lake
This is the protection money
Please count them
I'll get my own turf
I came to hear Kim Ling Tze
Brother Ma!
She quit!
She left Shanghai this morning
What?
Her uncle is not the same
When she came to Shanghai last year
She was a little girl
Now she's married
She went to Hangzhou
to be Master Qian's mistress
We're very happy for her
The point of holding this job
was to find a rich husband
She left word
If you drop by today
I'll sing a song for her
and send you her regards
Madam Yam hasn't sung in a long time
Come on, sit over here
Yes!
Some say love
is grand and spectacular
even earth shaking
Some say love
is nothing but a game
that has no bounds
To be in love
it must be very personal
Is it sweet like mine?
I'll give you anything you want
I only want your love
We'll play a spectacular
game of love
You can...
Can't sleep?
The view from up here
Shanghai is beautiful
Now you understand why people in Shanghai
are always climbing up
You can't see when you're down below
When you get higher up
You'll get a much better view than tonight
Spring Lake is nothing
It's just a flicker of light
There are thousands of Spring Lakes out there
Have you thought about that?
I won't take anything from Tam See
Everything east of Spring Lake is his
Everything to the west belongs to Yang Shuang
There's a place nearby called Quan Fu Lane
with casinos and brothels
and underground banks
The daily collection fee
amounts to 70 or 80 silver dollars
Why didn't anyone claim it?
Someone did
2 months ago
Black Tiger tried
and he was found dead at the entrance
Do it!
Get the carriage! I'm going to Qun Fu Lane
No! You can't! It's too dangerous!
Brother Ma...
Wing Jing...
Master Fan
How can I do business like this?
I can stop you cold
Listen...
Starting next month
I want 30 more silver dollars
Otherwise
I'll have the cops wipe you out
Bastard! This is outrageous!
What are we going to do?
What do you want, Ma Wing Jing?
I'm here to take over Qun Fu Lane
You alone?
And my blade
You're asking for trouble!
I'm not here to kill anyone
I just want my first turf in Shanghai
Those who have oppressed the people of Qun Fu Lane
I'll spare them
if they leave a hand behind
Leave a hand?
Over your dead body!
Charge!
Attack!
Run...
Leave your hand behind!
Damn! Don't be scared!
Brother Ma!
Left or right?
Brother Fan!
Kill him!
Call the cops!
Kill him!
Don't forget...
Let's go
One day
Ma Wing Jing will cough up
everything he took from me, plus interest
We're not destined to be poor
and bullied by the rich
We must work together
and we'll rule the world
Ma Wing Jing!
"Gangs open fight, 9 dead 11 injured"
Come back... we wanted her
We should be in love, we're a pair
But destiny keeps us apart
How pretty!
Can't help but fall in love
Happy birthday...
Cherish the one you love
Mother...
Time flies by, a passionate kiss
Ready...
I want to take a picture with the horse
What's wrong with you?
You think I can't take a picture with a horse
Happy birthday to you...
Hey...
That's awful... do we get paid?
Captain Zhao
I gave him those sites
What?
After he wiped me out
He'll target the other 5 gangs
As long as you're willing
They'll be on my side
And we'll have a 3way split of Shanghai
Ma Wing Jing, Tam See and us
Find someone to drive a wedge between them
and we'll profit in the process
Who?
Someone who hates Tam See
The jewelry came in from France
I don't know how to choose
Choose them all
Even artificial jewelry
looks real on Madam Yam
Don't humor me, what else?
Yang Shuang has a diamond necklace
Do you have the guts to take it?
What are you saying?
Master Yang says you know what's good for you
It's a gift from him
The police has joined forces with the 5 gangs
Mr. Lawson wants you to lay off Ma Wing Jing
The British will back you up
I see
Mr. Lawson knows you're an honorable man
But you should set aside your personal feelings
After all, we're meant for big things
Goodbye!
You took 6 sites from Yang Shuang
That's nothing
compared to you
wiping out 8 sites from the 7 Tigers of Guangdong
I'm not even close
The rumors were exaggerated
Wiping out the 7 Tigers
was ajoint effort by all the gangs
I didn't do it alone
I only head the entourage
They were too eager for success and profit
and offended the other gangs
Just like the way you are now
You're in great danger
Danger? What danger?
I don't suppose you'll join the others
and gang up against us?
Don't be stupid! We're brothers
I saved your life
I came here today
to try to stop you
The sites you took from Yang Shuang
also belong to the local cops
You have not only offended him
but also the local police
You pissed off people on both sides of the law
I'm not scared of them
Don't do anything reckless
If we can't move in on Yang Shuang
Shall we move in on you?
What?
It's very simple
When things were going well for you back then
What would you do?
What do you think?
He's worried
you'll take over his turf someday
What are you saying?
When I'm talking
you have no right to butt in
I'm giving him advice
because he's my friend
What you're doing will kill him
What are you after, whore?
Don't call her that
She's not a whore
Anyone who has ever taken her clothes off
said the same thing
She's my fiancee
It's nice to have a goal
But if you lose yourself, you're digging your own grave
Do as you see fit!
Don't blame him, Master Tam
I won't! I finally understand
Your brother is not ambitious
But that woman is
Don't get mad! Let it go!
I can't hold my tongue anymore
Master Tam has been kind to you
Have you no heart?
Get out!
No! Who do you think you are?
The men who followed you through thick & thin
think you have become a fool
I'm your brother
I don't need this woman to talk to you
Why do you listen to her?
Wake up!
Get lost if you're not happy
Don't ever come back!
You never hit me before
But this time, you really mean it
How could you!
Still awake?
You're mad at me
Right?
You drove your brother away
I didn't say anything
Shut up and go to bed!
Don't talk to me like that
Is it because of Tam See?
What?
You're the reason we argued
Then I'll go apologize
I'll do it now
Come back!
Where are you going?
Come back!
Come back right now!
What is it, Brother Ma?
It's none of your business! Get lost!
Go on! Move it!
You're up against me too!
Kill him!
Yes!
Don't die!
Ma Wing Jing
You don't own the Bund
All the gangs are here tonight
You're dead!
People like you
will meet the same fate
You whore!
At a time like this
You must have no mercy
Don't worry!
I feel nothing for this man
Master Tam, Ma Wing Jing is in trouble
Why are you here, Mr. Lawson?
Why?
Tiger sent for me
Stay back!
I'm just the messenger
It wasn't my idea
Master Yang
Good work, Tiger
Ma Wing Jing is dead
and so is your British friend
The other gangsters
are on Yang Shuang's side
You're on your own
I could have stayed with you
But you didn't want me
Are you sorry now?
Ma Wing Jing should be sorry, not me
He should have followed my footsteps
and dump a whore like you
If you get down on your knees, I may spare you
Never!
Kneel!
Such integrity!
Tam See!
Yang Shuang
You promised you won't hurt him
if I help you get rid of Ma Wing Jing
and that I'll take over his turf
I guarantee he won't oppose you
He promised me he won't hurt you
Tam See!
Damn!
Let him go!
We'll leave Shanghai
I swear
We'll never come back!
You really need this man?
Yes!
Fine! I'll give you a few more
Fan Gen!
Yes, Boss?
It's your lucky day!
No...
No!
Don't worry, I won't kill you
I need your connections
You killed Lawson tonight
I arrested you and handed over to the police
Isn't that brilliant?
The other gangs are not blind
You're right!
Yang Shuang!
Don't get cocky, bitch!
Help him!
Hand me a cloth!
Hurry! Don't let him move!
Hand me a cloth!
I've taken care of the other gangs
Only the old geezers from the Commerce Chamber
will object to your becoming Chairman
I've taken care of the other gangs
If they start any trouble
I'll finish them off
Yes, Boss!
He's stabilized
I didn't expect this boat
will save both your lives
Except you jumped in yourself
and he was thrown in
I'll kill you, bitch!
Next time, he won't be so lucky
How is he?
He's thinking about revenge even in his dreams
He'll stage a comeback once he gets ashore
We'll have to change his thinking
How?
We'll lie to him
Make him believe life is full of surprises
and hating someone is not good for him
What shall we tell him?
Stop speaking at the same time for god's sake
Why are we here?
We were fishing
and fished you from the river
Fishing?
Your turn!
My nickname is Fisherman King
Fisherman King?
He married Xiao Kim 6 months ago
I've been out 6 months?
So much has changed
When we reach Huangpu River
stop by Spring Lake Department store
and get a new net
Department store?
Yes!
Qun Fu Lane is now a museum
Master Tam gave up his turf
and turned them into amusement parks
Where is he?
He's now a school principal
What are you saying?
We're just bluffing anyway
He's into education these days
All his men have become his students
The mistakes they made
are now teaching examples
They don't call him Master Tam anymore
He's now Principal Tam
Yam Yeung Tien has changed too
How?
She's now a nun
repenting her sins
She's called Sister Heartless
She spent 6 months to practice a trick
called Grab the Money
I can't imagine
Wait till you hear about Yang Shuang
What happened to him?
He's now a singer
With his magnetic voice
he joined a dancing troupe
to educate the young people
so that they won't go astray
He composed songs and lyrics
and won the New Talent Award
at the Shanghai Music Festival
But from what I last heard
At his concert in Heilongjiang
he was trampled to death
They have turned over a new leaf
What's so funny?
Nothing! It's your brother
He almost joined the national athlete team
Are we exaggerating a bit?
A little
Master Yang
Please stay!
Thanks!
Get the carriage!
Don't worry, Master Yang
You'll chair the Chamber of Commerce
Don't worry about those old fools
We'll finish them off
at the inaugural ceremony
All the businessmen in Shanghai
won't dare to oppose us
Long time no see, Mr. Fan
Get lost!
Go to hell!
That bitch got what she deserves!
Why would you marry the Boss?
Maybe she likes a gangster
A woman doesn't want to worry everyday
about when her husband will be killed
I'm not involved in gang business anymore
Will you marry me?
Move your leg...
What are you doing?
I don't know!
He kissed me while I was asleep
Not you, I was kissing her
No, it's him
Why did you kiss me?
I don't know! I was dreaming
Beast!
Stop daydreaming, asshole!
Don't take it out on me!
Will the boat go down?
What? You want to kiss me again?
I told you I was dreaming! I didn't mean it
Of course you mean it
Yes, I did it on purpose!
What?
Nothing!
Damn!
A woman gave you this
Next time, it's my turn!
Despite the scar on her face
She still has a good body
Smells good! I'll move these things
I'll eat it later
I'll save you a bowl!
Let me!
I'm glad you're nice to my brother
What's so funny?
Who did you kiss in your dream?
Your brother and I...
Yam Yeung Tien!
I can't blame her for everything
She was my fiancee
She won't hurt me
I know you want to talk to her
We'll be back in Huangpu River
Don't keep my photo
Don't let her see it
I have to go
After everything we did
He still won't stay
I disagree
The past 2 weeks he spent with us
were probably the most peaceful days he had in Shanghai
If the fish belongs to the sea
He'll find his way back
Let's hope he won't get caught
Xiao Kim!
Hey!
I'm not leaving
Where's your wife?
What wife?
We lied about getting married
She left
Come with me!
Of all the birthdays she had
This one was the best
Today is her birthday?
Yes
I must get her a present
Both of you want to take advantage of me!
Who do you think you are?
"Bin Jiang Pier"
I went to the French department store
and bought you a handkerchief
for your birthday
You know French?
No! I pointed
Thanks!
I'm now brotherinlaw hereafter
This is a strange handkerchief
It's an imported one, maybe that's why
I see! It's for lovers
Hold this!
Hold it!
You blow your nose together
Right...
When it gets windy
You can tie up your hair
so it won't be a mess
Nice!
I don't think so
Give it here!
You use it to carry food
lt'll keep food warm in the winter
Right...
I'm not sure what it's for
But when I see it
my heart starts bounding
That's impossible!
Who is it?
Stop! Come back!
Let go...
Let go of me!
It's not my fault
Don't stare at me! It's not my fault!
Trust me!
It's really not my fault!
Kill that bitch, Wing Jing!
Brother Tai Cheung!
Let me go!
I had no choice
Go now, I don't believe you!
Thanks!
Master Tam...
What?
He'll be executed tomorrow
He went to Fuzhou Road to save you
They had him arrested
I have to go
Giving her a chance
is like giving me a chance
"The world of Yang Shuang"
Watch your step, Boss!
Congratulations, Boss!
Master Yang!
Congratulations!
You'll rule Shanghai
I came here to tell you
Ma Wing Jing is still alive
If you let Tam See go...
What?
I'll tell you where Ma Wing Jing is
Fine! If I catch him
I'll set Tam See free
Don't lie to me again!
I'll die a horrible death if I do
We have a deal!
Don't worry!
I'll go with Fan Gen
You'll let Tam See go, Boss?
Tell Fan Gen to bring a gun
and kill Ma Wing Jing and this woman
You can't go!
That's suicide!
I can't let them kill Tam See
I have to go!
Don't follow me!
Wing Jing...
I told you not to trust that bitch!
See?
You bastards shot Lawson
and framed Tam See
Right! But those British pigs
are grateful to Master Yang
for arresting Tam See
But I'm not the murderer
He did it
That's right! I did it
I'll kill you today
for Master Yang
Now I understand
You killed Lawson
It's a trap!
Don't move!
Go!
Thank you for letting us know the truth
Don't thank me, thank her!
"Mayor Yang's officiating ceremony"
Tell Master Tam's men to head for the execution ground
I'm very honored
to have your support
I'm not from Shanghai
But I've been doing business here for 20 years
Shanghai is my second home
These 2 cannons
are from the local police
Let's see how long he can keep his seat
The red packet is within the backdrop
Mr. Yang will assume office after the ceremony
Begin the Lion dance
"Tam See"
Ma Wing Jing, you're causing trouble
by holding a funeral procession now
I want justice for Master Tam
The British already know
Master Tam didn't kill Lawson
It was you, Yang Shuang
and the local police
The Police won't do anything illegal
Unifying Shanghai was Master Tam's dream
I made a pledge
to help him realize that dream
He should be the Chairman
Tell him to come get it!
Carry Master Tam to the stage
Yes!
You won't get past me
and the firing squad
Let alone the red packet
Stop dreaming!
You're overrating your ability
We owe Master Tam great favors
Our lives will serve as presents
for Master Tam's inauguration
Fire!
You'll kill my men!
Spread out
I'll fire if you come any closer
How dare you!
I'll shoot you
Then I'll kill you first
Watch out!
Light the dynamite!
Get up there! Charge
Put the coffin up there
Yes!
Take the seal first
Don't move!
You think Master Tam is dead?
Fan Gen died in his place
Come back!
Muscle spasms!
Up the bridge
Toss me the lion head
Okay
Catch!
Brother Ma!
Wing Jing!
Tai Cheung!
Yang Shuang!
Are you alright?
Come back!
Brother Ma!
Watch out, Master Tam
Go to hell!
Only one of us will come out alive
Watch out!
Don't let me fall!
Do me one last favor
Give this to Yam Yeung Tien
Master Tam!
Let's go! She's not coming
She loves Master Tam, she'll be here
He's been dead a month
What does she want?
Everyone in Shanghai is looking for you! Let's go!
Hurry! The train is leaving!
Hurry! Let's go
Go on!
Hurry!
"After Tam See's death, gangs open fight over his turf"
You heard about Master Tam?
I'm leaving Shanghai today
Before he died
He wanted me to give you this
He said the luckiest day of his life
was the night you gave him pears
Take care!
If we can start over
I hope it's tonight
Thank you!
I don't know
what's written on that handkerchief
But judging from her face
Master Tam must have forgiven her
It was dusk when I left Shanghai
Huangpu River looked like a gold ingot
that everyone wanted;
Even at the expense of their lives!
We should be in love, we're a pair
But destiny keeps us apart
Can't help but fall in love
Cherish the one you love
Time flies by, a passionate kiss
I'll never love another again
If tonight is the last night I can come close
who cares about destiny!
Even if loving you means eternal darkness
I cherish this moment
Never would I need go look for one like it again
Life is full of happiness and sorrow
I wish I find true love
A day's love is a lifetime's destiny
Though we may part as strangers
