[Guo gasps] Wow, you're all dressed up.
Where is Ling Yun?
Just relax.
Fucking whore.
Look at you!
You think you can save that fucking bitch all by your lonesome?
Who you calling a whore, bitch?
Huh?
I asked...
-Who's the whore now, bitch? -You, whore!
[she sighs]
Bang!
[Guo growls]
[snarling]
Come on, whore!
[gunshot]
Woo-hoo!
[groans] Fuck. Shit.
Last chance, assface! Where's Ling Yun?
[he gasps] Are you sure she's still alive?
[he laughs]
Come on. Put one right here. Do it!
Do it!
The whore princess is lost without her gun.
Oh...
I'm fucking impressed.

[Guo wails]
-[Angie grunts] -[Guo grunts]
-[Guo gasping] -[Angie panting]

[Gui panting]
-[Gui] Damn, sis. -[Radish] Oh!
-How'd you get so fucked up? -Are you alright?
-Help her, idiot, help her. -Forget me.
Go look for Ling Yun.
[Radish] Oh. Come on.
The hell are you trying to prove? That's serious shit.
I'm fine, don't worry.
Your pain hurts me more than you.
Shut the hell up!
Go find her.
-Fuck out! -I'm gone!
Pfft!
Radish!
[Radish] Huh?
Move your ass, search the back. Move!
-Pineapple. -[Pineapple] Hey. Nobody's here.
[Gui sighs]
Get your lazy ass upstairs and look harder.
[Pineapple] Oh...
Playa's gotta do everything.
-Gui... -What?
Can I get you an ambulance?
You are...
awesome.
[he laughs]
Getting sweet on me, Missy? You wacked your head too hard.
Don't make me cry. [laughs]
Hey, Radish!
[she groans]
[groans] Ling Yun? Where are you?
[groans] Ling Yun?
Ouch!
-If you can hear us, just squeak. -[muffled yelling]
[muffled screaming]
[Gui] Hey! Miss Angie! We found her! She's here!
-[Ling muffled cries] -[Gui] Calm down. Don't be scared anymore.
-I'm gonna untie you now. -[Angie breathless] Oh, my God.
-[Ling muffled cries] -[Angie] Are you OK?
[Angie and Ling Yun panting]
-[Angie] Are you hurt? -No, I'm OK. I'm fine.
[both breathing heavily]
-[Gui] Radish! -[Angie] Its gonna be OK.
[Radish] Mr. Gui?
-[Angie] Relax. OK. Just take it slow. -[Radish whispers]
Everything's gonna be fine.
Ms. Angie. Found that fucker. He's yours.
-Sure you can handle her? -I'm sure.
[Gui] You're my hero. Ready his ass for the spot!
What's that mean?
It means, I've got everything under control now.
It'll be alright.
Angie...
you truly are my guardian angel.
It's the one thing I'm good at.
Don't worry about Hao Hao -
I'll find him.
-Payback. -[Ling sighs]
[Radish chuckles]
Get up!
-[laughs] Playing dead? Huh? -[Angie] Let's get you the VIP seat.
Entrance is on the house today.
-Turn off your cell. Enjoy the show. -[Radish] Move his butt.
-[Ling] OK. -[Guo groans]
-[Pineapple] Hey, get up! -[muffled grunts]
-[Gui] Prop that fucker up. -Shut your ass face!
-Give me your phone! -[muffled groans]
-[muffled yelling] -[Angie chuckles]
Choke on some water!
-[muffled scream] -[water splashing]
-[Ling gasps] -[Angie giggles]
Don't be shocked.
You can relax your mouth. An actress shouldn't leave her mouth open.
-[Ling] Hmm. -Let's go.
I know you don't fancy motorcycles, so I won't offer you a ride.
-[Ling] Mm-hmm. -Go home, get some rest, movie star.
Calm your mind.
[Ling] Mm-hmm.
-Angie? -[Angie] Yeah?
Thank you for...
Never thank me. I'm your bodyguard.
[Ling chuckles]
Be careful.
Bye-bye.
-Gui? -Yeah?
What's up?
Get the assface's phone records.
[Gui] Whoa... Hey.
You OK?
I'm awesome.
-Search through his phone records. -[Gui] OK.
Find out where assface is hiding her son.
-Yeah, sure. -[Angie] Report back.
Hey...
Also, if anything happens to Ling Yun, you'll lose your jerk-off fingers.
Capiche?
[he laughs]
Yeah. Wait. Why don't you pocket this?
-Don't need it. -Come on, it's not safe out there.
Take it.
My scary old fart is drinking tea at home. My scary young fart is staring at me.
-[laughs] Yeah, yeah, yeah. -[Radish laughs]
[Gui] Throw it away.
-We won't need it. -Check if that assface is dead or alive.
[Gui] Yeah, sure. Hey, go check on that shitface.
Go! What are you waiting for?
-[Angie] Gui. -Huh?
-[Angie] I'm seeing Yi-Hang. Say a prayer. -OK.
So? Is shitface dead or not?
By now, I don't think that shit will float.
Are you sure about that?
[Gui] OK. We're done.

ON BEHALF OF PLAN-E
I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU...
Ding Ding, Ring Ring!
Fuckin A! I'm almost famous!
Thank You!
Lemme hear you say "Yeah!" Lemme hear you say "Woo" on the balcony.
Say "What!"
Front row, holla!
[cheering]
Thank you, God of the internets!
[Yi-Hang] Angie, darling...
tonight at midnight, I'll be waiting for you at the elephant slide.
Please, let's meet.
Mom...
you like to say that life's misfortunes
are just fortunes disguised to align our destiny,
but I don't understand what misfortunes are mere shitstorms,
and what are piles of shit I can use to grow a garden.
What seed should I plant to grow through all that shit?
The seed of the man I love or of the man that worships me?
I think I figured it out.
So, please send me down...
some really good luck and no batshit.
-[tires screeching] -[horns honking]
[man 1] Stop!
Oh, my God, lady. Are you OK?
[cell phone ringing]
[gasps]
Angie, darling.
[man] Is this Mr. Xu?
Yes, it is.
[Yi-Hang panting]
Excuse me. In what room can I find Angie Ni?
-Oh, yeah. Just a minute. -[nurse 1] Uh...
-Room 353. It's over there. -Three fifty-three?
OK, thank you.
-[nurse 2 giggles] -[nurse 1] He's more handsome in person.
[panting]
[slow piano music playing]
NO SMOKING
[Eddie] Hello, Mr. Xu.
What a pleasure it is to finally meet you in person.
I'm Angie's fiancĂ©.
You can call me Eddie.
What do you want?
I understand why you dislike me.
I don't know you. I don't dislike strangers.
But, if you truly care about Angie, I suggest
you don't treat me like a stranger...
because no stranger could offer you...
advice that's as beneficial...
as even a brother's.
[Yi-Hang sighs]
-What do you want to say? -It'd be compassionate to leave Angie.
[Angie groans]
Miss Ni, you really shouldn't move.
-You were in a bad accident. -[Angie groans]
[nurse] You have multiple fractures and you might have a concussion.
You shouldn't leave your bed.
What time is it now?
[nurse] Right now, it's 11:50 p.m. I get off in ten minutes.
Angie and I are the same.
We are of the same world.
We are the children of the Triads.
Try as you might, you could never understand.
Understand what?
Angie doesn't want to be a gangster.
She doesn't need to be one...
because she already is one.
Since you can't even comprehend that...
it would be unwise to be with her.
Luckily, that's not your decision to make.
I absolutely adore her, and she me.
We'll sort the rest out for ourselves.
Let me express it differently.
I don't care who Angie ends up with...
I only care about her happiness.
So, I'm merely asking you to consider...
do you truly think she's better off now
than before she met you?
[Angie gasping and groaning]
[heavy breathing]
[ringing tone]
[she breathes heavily]
[Eddie] You know, Angie's mom was a movie star like you.
[Eddie] But after she married Mr. Kun,
she decided to stop making movies
because she chose to protect the man she loved.
I would sacrifice everything for Angie, too.
[Yi-Hang] I'll find my own way to make this work.
Mr. Xu...
you simply don't understand the depths of this.
The Cosmos gang flows in Mr. Ni's blood,
as is does in Angie's blood.
A relationship with a movie star would shine too much light
on the gang's activities.
You would jeopardize Angie's whole world.
You would put her in grave danger.
[Angie panting]
Do you truly think that if you gave up your career
that Angie would remain safe?
[Angie panting and groaning]
[Eddie] I believe that you love Angie with all your heart.
So, you surely know what you should do for the good of her.
[Angie breathing heavily]
Angie? Why aren't you resting?
[Angie breathing heavily]

ONE MONTH LATER
I'm sorry to bother you while you're directing.
-No worries. -[man] Looking great, director.
Thanks! Not a problem. We're setting up picture now.
How can I help, dear?
[Kwong] Since we're old pals, I'll cut to the chase
Mm-hmm.
What are your thoughts on Yi-Hang Xu?
-Pretty boy? -Mm-hmm.
-[woman] Ms. Kwong. Director. -Hello.
Bye.
Look, he's a fine actor, but a little nuts, no?
Wasn't he recently arrested for
violating an elephant?
-The best actors have a spark of madness. -If they're lucky.
But you like him, right?
He's a matinee idol, underestimated.
[Kwong] Hmm.
Yi-Hang Xu? A screenwriter, too?
As you remember from your own start, actors who write want one thing.
Ah, so, he's looking to...
Yi-Hang wants to direct.
Would you be interested in mentoring him?
[director] Hmm...
BLACK WAR SCREENWRITER - YI-HANG XU
[director] Mm-hmm.
[Ling sighs]
[bartender] Hello.
[Ling] Do you have almond milk?
-One shot, please. -[bartender] OK.
Hey.
[Yi-Hang chuckles]
Almond milk before noon? Rock n' fucking roll.
When it comes to heartbreak,
there really isn't a worse remedy than day-drinking.
[he sighs]
Ms. Kwong sent you?
Mm...
-I wanted to come. -Mm. So, she did.
Please, tell her that it's not the heartbreak.
I want to quit being an actor.
Thank you.
They're ready to take us now.
-Hmm. -Hong Kong is my territory.
Over there, you can have anything you want.
Sure.
What's wrong?
Nothing. Just nothing.
I saw Yi-Hang's agent was on the news.
Hmm.
It seems he's turned down a few film offers.
He hasn't been working.
Yeah, so what?
Do you want to...
call and see how he's doing?
[Ling] Just call Angie.
Tell her how devastated you are and how much you hate this ending.
What good would that do? You think she'd meet for Boba?
Possibly, why not?
Better than drowning in your sorrows.
It's all pointless.
Our love story always ends the same way.
We're performers.
We pretend to be somebody until we move to the next part, the end.
Yeah...
perhaps.
Nobody can stop you from getting piss drunk,
but at least consider taking a shower.
Hm?
[sniffing]
-Do I smell that bad? -[she laughs]
[he sighs]
What's this?
A fortune from some crazy mystic.
"Stop second-guessing your heart and act..."
I'm here to present you with your special fortune.
Take it, read it, and remember.
[mystic chuckles]
Ling Yun, you still have that tracking app?
Yeah. What for?
-Come on! -Where are we going?
[Chin chuckles] Kun, old friend, you were correct.
Let the young people figure out the love business for themselves.
-[chuckles] -Very wise. Why rush them?
-Let them have their fun. -Before they're too old.
[both laugh]
Angie?
Go play, kids. Have fun. You'll get no more pressure from Papa.
[Chin laughs] Come now, Kun.
Millennials live for the romantic drama.
To be young again.
-You're so right, Chin. -[chuckles] Yeah. Hmm.
Dad, Uncle Ni,
see you soon.
Bye-bye.
So, Kun, you're gaining a son,
and I'm gaining a daughter.
Happy ever after.
-[laughing] -[Boss Ni] Mm.

I just hope this won't become another misfortune I regret.
ALTAR OF MS. HAN LU THE BELOVED WIFE OF MR. KHUN
Thank you. Goodbye.
Good luck!
Angie...
where would you like to go in Hong Kong?
Would you like to go to Disneyland first
and in the afternoon have the tastiest roasted goose?
[announcer] Passengers on...
At night, we could take the cable car up Taiping Mountain
and admire Victoria Harbor.

[romantic music playing]
[Ling] What's this?
[Yi-Hang] A fortune from some crazy mystic.
"Stop second-guessing your heart and act..."
[Gui] As for slaughtering the douche, leave that to the lady.
-[muffled yelling] -Your smiley face. You can have it back!
[muffled yelling]
-[Angie grunts] -[muffled scream]
-Yeah! Woohoo! -Yeah!
[Yi-Hang] Since I met Angie, I've actually been happy.
When I laughed, I really did.
When I felt, I really felt. She gave me my smile back.
FIND YOUR SMILEY FACE
[Yi-Hang] I don't need to be fake anymore.
[romantic music continues]
CLOSED
[sniffing]
Hey.
[clicking tongue]
Oh!
[laughs] Oh, shit, man...
[laughing]
I told you to stay away from that crazy bitch,
but you didn't listen.
Fucking bonehead.
You dickless whore.
Better believe I'm not going away. I'm just getting started, honey bun.
Oh, yeah? How? Huh? Look at you, you ain't doing shit to her man.
-[laughs] -Why not ask your friend?
I mean...
he's already here.
What else is he going to do?
[chuckles]
Hmm.
