Hong Kong Pier
60 cents a day $18 a month
I bought you with $100
You have to work 5 months and 17 days to pay me back
Don't even dream about it
You have to pay me interest it's 10% a day
You have to pay me a dollar the first day as interest
But you can only pay me 60 cents
It means you owe me $100.40
You owe me $100.84 the second day
The third day... the abacus is too small for the math
Anyway your debt keeps growing
You've heard the stories of the bird trying to fill up the sea
And the old man removing the mountain?
They stand a greater chance of success than you paying your debt
Fat Leung seems like a good person But what is he up to?
Chun-loi it really is you?
You are not dead! It's great!
Chun-loi...
What are you doing?
You said you killed a man named Yim Chun-loi right?
No I was just dreaming
You know Wing Chun?
You killed Yim Chun-loi with Wing Chun?
Don't you deny it
I saw you using the Goat Clamping stance
You won't tell? I won't bother to hear it
Get up and go to work
Foshan Yan Wo Hospital
If that old man suspects the body isn't Yim Chun-loi kill him
Got it
Wing-shing you went for the identification
It really is Yim Chun-loi?
Yes it's him
My son... my son... my son is dead
My son is dead...
Master why are you kneeling here? Master...
Master Yim I have a request...
Master get up first...
If you won't say "yes" I won't get up
Master get up...
Master Yim please say "yes"
I too beg you on my knees
Auntie...
Lady what are you doing?
Please get up...
I swear to heaven
If lp Man killed Chun-loi in a fight
Then I am responsible too
I'll kill myself to pay for my sin
No Master
It's not lp Man it could never be him Master... Master
If it's not lp Man then I'll spend the rest of my life looking for his murderer
And lp Man would be your adopted son
He'd take care of you for the rest of your life
Master...
Master Yim please say "yes"
Master please...
Lady please get up
Please say "yes" Master Yim please
Please get up
You are not worried they might join hands and file a lawsuit against you?
I dare them
Who in Foshan has the nerve to go against you?
Unless they have a death wish
I know what you mean
You won't let lp Man off
Of course I will find him
I am not done with him yet
I am on your side
We each will get what we want
You give lp Man hell
And I'll get the lp family fortune
Cheers Cheers
Fung Yee Lung
Fung Yee Lung has a traitor
Who is he?
Take it easy since I set up Fung Yee Lung decades ago
No one could take the pier away from me
Some 7 or 8 gangs were fighting for this turf back then
It's like the Warring States period
But you brethren stood by me
You had to work in the daytime And fight for the turf at night
Others thought we wouldn't last long
No one would have thought
The least powerful would make it
We put the name Fung Yee Lung on the pier
But now we are faced with a crisis
No blood will be shed but it's even more dangerous
I thought the days of fighting were behind us we could live in peace
But the times have changed
The battlefield now is the business world ...ruthless kills without blood shed
Money is even more lethal
The Englishman Ettenberg wants our pier
But we can't let him have his way
Help me... you have to help me
Fat Leung I have been waiting for the whole day where's my pay?
We can talk it over
Get lost! Who are you to speak here?
Fat Leung asked me to come
Fat Leung what's going on?
You don't get your pay It's not my fault
I am just the bookkeeper
I don't call the shots
You don't call the shots?
If you don't pay us we won't work
Yes we won't work...
Calm down... You don't get paid
It's Master Hung's idea
It's not for me to say anything
You should go to Master Hung
Hey don't throw Master Hung at us
I've been working for Master Hung since I was 18
He's never mean to his men
I am sure you have been fleecing us
Beat him up
Beat him...
Beat him hard
No... hey... stop it... get out
Let me tell you
You've missed the shipments many times
Master Hung wants to settle the score with you
What blathering
You are blathering
Come again
Cheung Mang what are you doing here?
Master Hung says I'm calling the shots here at this pier from today on
Let Master Hung tell me himself
If it really is his decision Then I'll shut up
Drop dead!
Monkeys... carry on...
Come on...
Li Sam is in collusion with Ettenberg He is taking on Master Hung
Stop it...
Li Sam Master Hung wants me to tell you
Either you disappear from the pier right away
Or he will make you dead or alive
Yeah...
What is going on?
Li Sam may look vicious
But he's just faking it
He'll slip away
Everyone in the Chinese community gives Master Hung wide berth
Four Point Horse stance
Chasing stance... it's chasing stance
We can talk it over
Don't let the foreigners look down on us
Young man you have a death wish?
Brethren charge
Halt
Leave this brother alone
Brother thank you
You'll see
Brothers for Master Hung's sake
See yourself out Go go
Brothers hear me out
From today on I call the shots at this pier
Master Hung has given his word
You will get paid tomorrow
Bravo...
Who gave you the nod to cause trouble here?
Let me answer you
Please don't blame them
It's Master Hung's idea
You'll be responsible for any delays
Li Sam colluded with Ettenberg to cause the delays
Now Cheung Mang is in charge It won't happen again
Are you sure?
Of course trust me
You have my word
You can go goodbye bye bye
Bye bye
Brothers now go to work
Let's go to work
It's alright now

Sangyuan Workshop
What happened?
We've been conned
The machine we got is junk
We've been conned
Auntie Auntie
Pay us back...
Uncle and Auntie are not well
Could you come a few days later?
The lp family is going broke Just cut it out
Clean up the mess and repay our loss
Then they can go recuperate Indeed
Gentlemen I really am sorry
We are not here for your apologies Repay us
Repay us...
Gentlemen hear me out
Not a moment too soon Lam Ching-shan
You talked us into this industrialisation
Now we've ended up in a mess You tell us what to do
Please hear me out
Industrialisation is the right direction
I still stand by it
Things have taken this turn but it may not be as bad as it seems
Just have patience
Talking about loss
The lp family is the hardest hit
When we first joined hands in investing in the plant
You did it out of your own free will
Give me some time
Let me check it out with the comprador
You will be repaid
Give us time
Rest assured that even if we have to sell our estate
we'll pay you back for your investment
Pay up...
Give way...
You the lp family have a poor memory?
You have forgotten you have borrowed from me?
You are tardy in repayment
What are you talking about?
What am I talking about?
You ask her What?
I borrowed from the loan shark
Loan shark?
Pay us back first... pay us...
Ching-shan said I shoulder order for silk cocoons first
Or the machinery will be left idle when it's delivered
He also said...
You guys want them dead?
What good does it do you if they are dead?
I don't care if they can't pay up
I'll take their things
I dare you
We owe you we'll pay you
Not a cent less
Just give me time
I guarantee you will be paid in full
If Miss Cheung said so we'll give them some time
So we won't get paid today let's go
Wing-shing Milady what to do?
Lp's Mansion
What you just said
Others may think you are already an lp
What situation are we in?
I can't care less what others think
Someone cares
Ching-shan lp Man had qualms before
Now his qualms have been proved to be right
What do you mean?
You suspect me or lp Man suspected me?
We don't mean to but... we can't help it
The machinery that's useless
And your relationship with Ng Pak-lam
Wing-shing you are insulting me
You are hurting me do you know it?
Then explain yourself
About what? I owe no one an explanation
This is my home too I grew up here
Why did I go study abroad?
So that I could come back and use what I learned
For the betterment of my family and the people here
This is what I've been working for or what else am I after?
No you are not seeing me as a beast that will harm his kin are you?
Ching-shan I...
Cut it out I don't blame you
I just blame myself for being too idealistic
I trust others too easily
When I was in Canton
I meant to steer Marshal Chu onto the revolutionary road
Later I found out that he was using me
Now in Foshan I hoped to implement industrialisation through Ng Pak-lam
I thought I could use Foshan as a start and then spread it nationwide
But I got conned by the westerners
You know how hard hit I was by one failure after another?
But I won't admit defeat
The failures will only toughen me
When Mr Sun Yat-sen first called for revolution
He too met one failure after another
But he persevered and he finally succeeded
Why?
Because he has set the right target
Yes he has set the right target
I too will persevere
I too see that my target is right
And I will persevere and won't change
My only regret is that no one understands me
You are not my par
You two have not eaten yet
Let me ask the kitchen to prepare you dinner
Don't bother I don't have the appetite
Wing-shing why don't you leave Foshan for the time being?
If we can't pay up
Those people are not easy to deal with
Auntie don't worry I am working on it
Master... Mr Cheung is here
Ask him in Yes
Wing-shing you asked Yam-tong to come?
No but I knew he would come
Mr lp Brother Yam-tong
Mrs lp Uncle
Wing-shing how come you knew I would come?
You see eye to eye with lp Man
I knew when you got the letter You would come
lp Man?
The ideas and qualms written in the letter came from lp Man
What letter?
Half a month ago I got a letter from Wing-shing
In it she raised some qualms
I too find things problematic after reading the letter
Hence I am here to check things out
But the points of concern have already been proved valid
But you have nothing to worry about
You have been working for the betterment of the country
I too have vouchsafed for it
Now that some accidents have happened
I can't wash my hands over it
I'll help you repay the money owed
But...
Auntie...
Mr Cheung not a moment too soon
The money we invested in the lp family is the lifesavings of a dozen men
You have to repay us first
No mine first its $20 000 plus interest
Mine first... we have been waiting for a long time...
Auntie Milady
Be quiet shut up
We won't owe you a cent take your turn
Mine is $5000
$30 000 here pay me first
Mrs lp take it easy
Brother lp and I have done the math
I can help keep your ancestral house and daily expenses
But to clear all the debts
The Sangyuan workshop has to go
It has been our family business for generations
But now I have lost it
I have done no evil things
Master and I have been working hard on it
Now we are in this state
What have we done wrong?
How smart
You are a different person
How smart how good-looking
Let me have a look
As it is said clothes make the man
Now you are in a suit You look totally different
Look into the mirror and at yourself
You are different
It fits you
What?
I can't afford it
You don't have to pay for it I am buying it for you
Boss
I want this suit
But you give me a discount
It's very reasonable already
Come on you want us to be your return customers
Just say "yes"
It really can't be done
We'll come again
Why are you taking it off?
I don't like to get a gift for no reasons at all
Let me tell you
You'll have to earn it
You wear it to pick up someone from the pier
Who?
This lady
What's her name?
Please give me a glass of whisky
Wow you're so beautiful Jenny

Hospital?
Is there a hospital nearby?
There's a company clinic over there
I am not going to a clinic I want to go to the Peak Hospital
But it is far away you can't make it
If I am going to die I have to die there
Hey how to go to the Peak Hospital?
Walk straight ahead for half an hour
Alright come on
Title deeds... where are you?
No deeds...
Deeds...
An heir keeping a low profile
Here you are

I am going to be rich...
Wing-shing...
What does it mean?
Mental
Where are the title deeds?
Rascal Fat Leung you fooled me?
Hey help...

No I am dying
