Do you remember the first sound you heard?
It was a long time ago
You wouldn't remember it
Because when we first heard that sound
We weren't even born yet
Being in our mother's womb
We depended on...
our mother's heartbeat
Why did you pick me that night?
It always feels like the first time with you
Why did you pick me that night?
I heard you were Stephen Ma's girlfriend
You like trouble?
- Give me five minutes - No
Don't waste it, it's expensive
We can't let Stephen know about us
He'll kill us
Why are you with him?
Let's not talk about that
If there's a war, my father will back me
How much does Stephen Ma give you a month?
$ 100,000, if you can afford it...
I'll go over to your side
If something happens, will you come to my side?
Stephen
Carmen
Carmen, come back
Don't explain, I'm not scared of him
Go downstairs
He made me come up
Carmen
You're Kwan's son?
Do you know who I am?
I know you
You're an idiot!
Damn you, Stephen Ma
Don't touch me!
Get your hands off me
You have to deal with my father if you hurt me
Don't touch me!
You're right
You'll have to deal with your father
This smell will attract more boars down here
Mr. Kwan, Mr. Chiu
Officer Chan, Officer Leung
Mr. Kwan, there was a phone call for you
- Who was it? - Mr. Ho
Call Ho
Where's my ice cream?
Here it is
Mr. Kwan, ice cream
Here you go
Pay him
Ho, what is it?
What?
Okay, fine
Officer Chan, Officer Leung
Sorry, we have to leave
What is it, Kwan?
Nothing you can help me with
Hello
Where are you?
I'm busy, call me later
Go to the restaurant now
Why?
You'll get killed out there
Who wants to kill me?
Stephen Ma
Sid
Move it
Where is he?
Where is everyone?
Hello
I'm at my restaurant
Sina, it's Chiu
Why? What happened?
Your brother is in deep trouble
Your father is pissed off and is looking for him
Okay, I'll be there in five minutes
Tell him to lay low
Chiu
What is it?
Let's go
Chiu
Find Sid, I'll call you later
Carmen, where are you?
Come down now
Stephen will be back soon
I'm outside your home, let's leave together
We don't have a future together
No future?
I don't know what you mean
Take care
"One new message"
"Sina: Come 2 clinic. Everyone looking 4 U...
Don't be followed!"
Of course... continue
Right
Don't worry, Stephen. I'll take care of it
Your son...
told me off in front of my men
We've known each other over 20 years
Not you
You saved my life once. I won't forget it
You're wise not to have children
I wanted to have a child...
with Carmen
Now what?
It's settled then
So what now?
I'll take care of it
Qing dynasty emperor Yong Zheng
had a young son named Qian Long
who was a smart boy
It was decided that...
he would succeed the throne
But his older brother
became jealous of him
and plotted against him
Qian Long survived the ordeal
What do you think the father did?
He gave his rogue son a cup of poison
Qian Long begged for his brother's life
but to maintain peace the father killed him anyway
I watched the TV series too
Don't get excited
I'm not asking you to kill your son
I want his hands
Stephen
Bye
- Were you followed? - No
Hurry up and leave
I want to help
Don't be stubborn, my father's crazy
Okay
Hurry
Get in the box
How can I breathe in there?
I'll punch some holes
You're in deep trouble this time
Father has told everyone he'd punish you
You messed with the wrong girl this time
I didn't
Oh, really?
Don't come out, you hear me?
Fine
Ouch
Keep an eye on him, Didi
Sid's been here?
What about that guy?
He just asked me to marry him
If you marry him
I'll kill him
Who is it? Call me later
What was that sound?
Don't marry him
Why not?
He loves me
And he doesn't mind having you as a father-in-law
Wait outside
Kwan
We should...
Out
Get off me
Why don't you two listen to me?
Don't marry that guy
He's not good enough for you
Why don't you treat people?
So I don't have to treat people like you
What was that?
So I don't have to treat people like you
That's enough, stop it
You think you can hide?
Let's go
- Don't push - Get in
Dr. Ho, it's Kwan here
I'm sending my daughter over
She lost a tooth
Fix it nice
She's still single
Thanks
Do you know about Stephen Ma?
Are we scared of him?
I'm a gangster but he's a gangster in a suit
He saved me once
What have you done for me?
Spare me the history lesson
Hand me over to him if you want
He'll kill you if I did
He wants me to chop your hands off
Go ahead, chop them off
Is that what you want?
Don't ever call her again
And don't let her find you
She'll set a trap for you
If she needs help, please help her
What?
Come again?
I said if she needs help...
Worry about yourself first
Just stick close to Chiu
Go wherever he goes
He'll tell you when to come back
Let's go
It's quiet? I handed over everything to Kit
It's not a problem
Business should be better in the other area
How is it at home?
Don't worry about it
Airport
Quit it, come back in
Thanks, Xiao Hei
I can't abandon Carmen
I'm hungry
What do you want to eat?
Taiwanese specialty
- How is it? - It's okay
Are you interested in adult education?
It can help you find your goal in life
Come up and take a look
Where are you going?
I'm just getting a drink
- Don't go too far - Fine
Wait here for me
Sign up here
It's very simple
This is the curriculum
Is "selfish" a good or bad thing?
Doggie, sit!
Sit!
Doggie, sit!
What?
Don't bully the dog
Mind your own business
Who are you? What's it to you?
You shouldn't hit dogs
Jerk
Why did you harass the kid?
I was teaching him
The boy was torturing the dog
I only saw you bullying the kid
- Apologize to him - Why should I apologize?
You're lying
Why did you do that for?
Are you crazy?
Stop
What's with you, kicking me like that?
You were bullying the kid
How was holding his head bullying him?
I saw you
The kid is gone, forget it
Don't let me see you again
What's your name?
When he first came, his goal was unclear
with no real direction
Once he defined his goals
he achieved them one by one
- Right? - Correct
Try to be specific with your goal
The gentleman in sunglasses in the back
Please share your goal with us
My goal is to become a big bad gangster
Can you help me?
Anything we can conceive we can achieve
The other gentleman, what's your goal?
My goal?
I'm not sure
I'm going up to class
More painful
It's my son's hand
Stephen
Just one hand? Where is he?
I sent him away to recuperate
If you were I, would you believe it?
I believe you
Because we are old friends, I believe you
But...
you still owe me one hand
Thank you, Stephen
Get back here
There's nothing between you?
Go to sleep
Let's go
I'm not going
Wait here
What do you want?
Who's in charge here?
Tell me what you want first
Your drumming, I can do that too
- So what? - I want to join your group
We are not recruiting
Who's in charge here?
How can we help you?
I want to join your group
We're rehearsing, can you come back?
I'm a drummer
I can pay if necessary
You're quite impatient
We'll give you a tryout
Ting
- Lan Jie - I'll do it
Hong Dou
Hong Dou is our most junior member
You'll go up against her
Follow everything I do
I'm not used to this
Can I have more drums?
What's your name?
Sid, S.I.D.
- I'm Lan Jie - Nice to meet you
You know about us?
Maybe...
Actually, I don't
We train here and often perform in the city
Do you live here?
Yes
but we go home once a month
Drink?
Sure, a Coke?
We don't have electricity, no fridge
Oolong tea
We grow this tea on the mountain
What do you do?
I run my own business
I had been really busy
so I came for a vacation
You're so young to be in business. What kind?
Entertainment
That's not important
I want to drum and I can help you
You can help us?
Do you know how long they've been here?
What will your family think?
You're just here on vacation
Don't you think I'm talented?
You think you're talented?
We have no use for talent
How can you drum without talent?
It's more difficult if you have it
What do you mean?
Here we strive to...
drum without drumming
Drum without drumming?
I see
Besides knowing a little about drumming
why do you want to join us?
Tell me something real
My mother was a nightclub singer
There was a handsome drummer in the band
he taught me drums and was nice to my mother
My father was suspicious of them
and kicked them out
I never saw them again
So I put a drum set in my room
I beat the hell out of it everyday
Twenty-four hours a day
Like I was mad
The louder the better
I didn't have to think in all that noise
Enough?
Water and fruits
Lan Jie
I just joined the group
Lan Jie, don't let him join
Why?
We saw him on the street...
picking on a little boy
I apologized to that kid already
You didn't
I apologize now
Sorry
Alright, let it go
Don't make me stop you
You can come with me
But you've got no rhythm
What are you doing?
What do you think?
Let me go
Let go
Uncle Chiu
I just want to drum
it's not a crime
Just pretend I became a monk
You don't need my father's approval on everything
Enough
I give you two weeks
I'll bet you a dollar
You have no patience
you won't last in the mountains
Work hard in class
You'll sleep on the floor
but it gets damp at night
Where do you sleep?
On the bed
You get the bed, I get the floor?
I'll buy my own bed
Buy whatever you want
Put these on
Are they clean?
I'll show you around
We have a rule here
no loud noises
and no chasing after the girls
That's more than one rule
You bet
My name is Qing. Hurry up and change
His name is Shu
he likes to talk to trees
to bond with them
This is Yilu
Hi
What does it mean?
"A path"
- As in "the path is clear"? - That's right
Welcome
Shan
This is Sid
His name is Feng, he doesn't talk much
he strikes the gong to tell time
That's Milin
she looks after the drums
Hi, Milin
She needs no introduction
You two have met
Let's continue
Her name is Ting
It means "to pause"
Master
- Our Master - Hello, Master
You're here
Hi, my name is Di
Respect the drum, please
Would you know where my drum is?
No
Your drum is over there
That corner has bad feng shui
Stop
Shu
Show him how to fetch water
Come
- Where? - It's fun stuff
Let's continue
Over here
Turn it off after half an hour
This? I'm here to drum
Water is also very important
Out of gas
Fill them up at the foot of the mountain
92 Octane
Even Shaolin Temple's got water pipes
Master
Let's welcome Sid
Welcome
Sid, we don't eat meat on the mountain
What?
What about chicken?
Of course not
How about eggs?
Eggs are okay
Let's eat
Sid, have some beef
Enjoy
"On a mountain such as these"
For you, Lan Jie
"Amongst the trees"
"In the shade a flower"
"That lasts only an hour"
Hong Dou
Good morning
Hong Dou
Good morning
Good morning, Master
Sid
There's a beautiful stream down that path
Go and bring back forty rocks this size
Now?
I have to learn the drum pieces
This is more important
More important than drumming?
You'll understand later
Master, some water?
Pick it up
From now on, when we walk...
carry this sack of rocks
Why?
This is your training
What has this got to do with drumming?
How dare you talk to Master this way?
It's alright
Life, as in drumming
before the drumstick comes down
you must first pick it up
The sack will be part of your life
Hong Dou, you will train Sid
The best way to learn
is to teach someone else
Yes, Lan Jie
I'm looking forward to it
Me too
Leg up
Higher, stretch it
Higher
Steady
Arm up
Leg
Stretch it
Straight out
Don't laugh
Up, your knee is bent
Follow him
Be careful. Legs straight!
Land softly
Get up
Did you carry rocks too?
No, I pick up leaves
Don't talk when you walk, focus on your feet
You know who put the flower on your pillow?
All I know is that Master is a serious drummer
Master, have some corn
