Never Say Never
Episode 5
Are you alright?
Your dad...
My dad is taking drugs.
Then...
Yes! So what?
If you’re afraid, just leave!
I didn’t say I was leaving.
If you wanna stay here, this will be your room.
I’ll clean it for you.
Five hundred yuan per month.
The toilet is outside.
We’ll split the charge for water and electricity.
What do you think?
Little boy, come over here.
Is there
anyone else who will come here?
No one.
Where’s your mom?
Why did you ask so many questions? Are you a policeman?
I’m just curious.
Do you wanna rent a room or check us out, anyway?
Are you renting it or not?
Yes.
What’s your name?
Wang Lei. Call me Little Stone.
Little Stone,
keep a watch on the money.
Don’t let your dad find it.
It’s none of your business.
You’d better take your valuables with you
when you go out.
Keep the curtains closed.
Don’t let anyone see what’s in your room.
It’s not safe here.
Brother Tao.
You’re back.
Is it done?
Don’t worry.
I did it by myself.
I can guarantee no one will find him again.
I trust your ability.
After we get rid of this stumbling block,
our business will go much more smoothly.
Brother Tao, it’s almost time.
Let’s go then.
Get Ma Liu.
We’ll brave him.
Mr. Tuo.
Have a seat.
Mr. Tuo,
sorry that we have to meet here.
Originally, I wanna take you to my place
but I was afraid you would refuse.
So I chose this quiet place instead.
Let’s talk here today.
It is very considerate of you, Brother Gu.
Actually
I’m just a businessman.
Everything will be fine as long as I can do business.
Wang Xi
was so respectful to me
but he gave me a pile of fakes.
What’s the use?
Mr. Tuo,
as we’ve agreed,
I prepared some goods for you today.
I wonder if you’ll be satisfied.
Liu.
There will never be shortage of capable men.
I finally see
your ability today.
Sen Long.
Mr. Tuo.
Mr. Tuo,
it’s good.
Brother Gu,
I’ll respectfully accept this batch of goods.
If there’s also anything good in the future,
don’t forget me.
Mr. Tuo,
I’m glad you’re satisfied with them.
Besides these goods,
I also wanna talk with you about something else.
Then let’s talk about it now.
Mr. Tuo,
let’s have a drink first.
Help yourself.
Okay, okay.
Enjoy yourself.
Little Stone,
can I borrow your motorcycle?
Wait a minute.
I’ll bring the dish to my dad first.
It’s my dad’s.
It’s broken.
You can ride the motorcycle too?
Sure.
It’s not hard.
Fifty yuan.
It’s broken. You still charged me fifty yuan?
Fifty yuan at a time.
Brat,
am I a fool to you?
I’ll give you a hundred yuan. Lend it to me for a few days.
And I gotta have it repaired.
Fine.
It was my dad’s treasure before.
He was so handsome when riding it with me behind.
Don’t lose it.
Got it.
Brother,
fix this motorcycle for me.
Okay, leave it there.
Thanks.
Hey, it’s me.
I’ve arrived.
Have you found a place to stay?
I rented a room.
The landlord is an addict
who’s over forty.
His child in his teens is living with him.
Is it safe?
I’ve checked it. There shouldn’t be problems.
By the way,
what should I do next?
We just received the news.
Yesterday
Wang Xi was killed by Gu Tao’s man.
Originally the three of them were competing with each other.
Now one is dead.
Gu Tao is more powerful.
It’s actually harder for you to
make him take you overseas.
You must try every way
to infiltrate into his organization as quickly as possible.
Okay, I see.
I’ll start from his casino.
Brother Qiang, you’re here again!
You gotta give us more tips this time.
Okay.
Come on in.
Hey, park Brother Qiang’s car.
Okay.
Four more people went in.
Brother Tao.
Keep a lookout.
Look at you. You’re more beautiful.
Thank you, Brother Tao.
Meanwhile,
pay attention to Qi Ke.
He’s the head of another local gang.
He sells drugs under the cloak of
a tea factory.
Though his business is not as big as those of Wang Xi and Gu Tao,
he has a certain power in the locality.
Boss.
What’s wrong?
Something happened.
Wang Xi was killed by Gu Tao.
Gu Tao is so wicked.
He even killed Wang Xi?
When did it happen?
Yesterday.
He died yesterday
and you just told me?
I just heard that news too.
At first Wang Xi wanted to
teach Gu Tao a lesson
but unexpectedly
he walked into Gu Tao’s trap.
It was Qi Xia who did it.
Good heavens.
I just can’t believe it.
Then how are
things going at Wang Xi’s home?
As the tree fell, the monkeys scattered.
It’s in a mess there.
Everyone has run away
except Mao.
He’s inquiring everywhere
and wanna revenge his boss.
Mao is a good child.
Though he has few abilities,
his loyalty deserves a thumps-up.
You gotta learn that from him.
Boss, I’m loyal to you too.
If one day you were killed,
I would revenge you too.
Ba,
how could you say something like that?
What were you thinking about?
Why didn’t you hope something good happens to me?
You...
Sit down. Sit down.
Have a cup of tea.
Brother Xia, these are today’s books.
Ba,
Gu Tao has been developing too rapidly
over the last two years.
Wang Xi didn’t realize it
and thought that the world
was still what it was ten years ago.
He thought he could still
dominate the market.
The younger generations will always outdo the previous ones.
You gotta admit that.
Wang Xi lost
because he was too conspicuous.
Otherwise Gu Tao wouldn’t have
disposed of him so early.
Boss,
then what do we do now?
Will Gu Tao
do that to us too?
That’s hard to tell.
Originally
they were battling against each other
and we were doing our own business.
How happy that was.
Now one is dead.
This is hard to deal with.
I’m telling you.
Gu Tao is very ambitious.
He’ll deal with us
sooner or later.
From now on,
you and the brothers
must be on the alert.
Got it, boss.
Oh, Wang Xi.
Good heavens.
Brother Tao,
these are today’s books.
Besides, boss,
recently I always
feel myself being stalked.
Shall we be on our guard?
Wang Xi is dead.
I think Qi Ke will do something.
This old guy is much more devious.
Someone stalked you?
Now we can only play it by ear.
You must be careful.
Don’t worry, boss.
Most of the goods
we bought before have been sold to Mr. Tuo.
The rest of them
were given out to the brothers
to be sold separately.
When will we replenish our stocks?
That has to wait.
I’ve got too many things to do.
Boss,
I’m responsible for selling the goods
and the casino is undermanned.
I’m afraid I’ll have my hands full.
So? Are you tired?
Of course not.
I’m just afraid
if anything happens,
I won’t be able to handle so many things.
Alright,
take Ma Liu to fetch goods with you
and see if he can hold on.
Got it, boss.
Mr. Wang.
Brother Xia.
How was your luck today?
It’s fine.
Come again if you’re free.
Okay.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
See you. See you.
At least you have luck with women.
Brother Xia.
Good evening, Brother Xia.
Brother Xia, good evening.
You’re in luck today.
You’re raking it in.
I’m afraid so.
Treat us later. Treat us.
Okay. No problem.
Tell us quickly. What are we gonna eat?
I’ll definitely treat you.
Come on, let’s play another game.
Ma Liu.
Brother.
How’s business today?
It’s quite good.
By the way, Brother Xia.
I need to tell you something.
You gotta be careful.
I heard Mao is looking for us.
He’s not cut out for that. What can he do?
We’ll be okay.
But we still have to be careful.
See you around, ladies.
May you be richer and richer.
You won quite a lot of money again, didn’t you?
Here you go.
Thanks. You’re so beautiful.
Come again, please.
What do you want?
I’m here to have fun.
You’re here to have fun?
Can you find out what kind of place this is
before you rush in?
What are you doing? Don’t touch me.
Qi Xia invited me here.
Brother Xia, come and have a look.
I’ve watched this guy for long.
I think he’s suspicious.
He’s courting death.
Brother, what’s wrong with you?
Brother Xia,
what’s the matter?
Do you know where this is?
How dare you cheat here!
I didn’t, Brother Xia.
I’m just lucky today.
Brother Xia.
Brother Xia,
so... sorry.
I... I...
Let me off.
I won’t do it again.
You won’t do it again?
You won’t be here again!
Ma Liu!
Brother Xia!
What... What’s going on?
Take him away.
It’s all right.
Keep playing. Keep playing.
Start a new game.
Come on. Come on.
Win more money.
You don’t look familiar to me.
My friends recommended this place to me so I came to have fun.
Be my guest.
As long as you’re in luck,
you’ll win money whichever table you’re at.
Where’s the money?
-Where’s the money for two packs of the goods? -Get up.
Get up, Dad.
I beg you for mercy.
Have mercy on us.
Let us off.
I craved drugs that day
and took two packs of them from him.
Have mercy on us.
Let us off.
You’re messing me around, aren’t you?
Let you off?
I’ve let you off
when I asked you to sell the goods.
How many times have you done this?
You cried every time you couldn’t turn over all of the money.
What’s the use of crying?
I beg you.
Have mercy on us.
Let us off.
I promise I won’t do it again.
Tell me what you’re gonna do.
Give me one day.
I... I’ll...
I’ll get the money
and make up the number, alright?
Is it over after you make up the number?
What about the money you owe me?
Where’s my money?
I... I...
Ba, I beg you.
I beg you.
Take the kid away.
Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.
Stop!
What are you gonna do?
Who are you?
I rent a room from them.
You bastard,
don’t you have no money?
You rent your room. Where’s the money?
We need it to buy food.
Don’t you allow us to live?
I want you to live
but your dad disappointingly
headed for his doom himself.
You forced him!
Brother,
they’re a kid and an addict.
Don’t go too far.
Do you mean
you wanna stick your neck for them?
I live here.
I can’t fall asleep with the noise.
Who wants you to stay here?
You can get lost.
What if I don’t go?
Throw him and his stuff
out of here!
Okay!
It’s no business of mine
what’s going on among you.
But you just can’t bully a kid.
Got it?
Get lost!
Don’t run away if you dare.
Don’t run away.
Don’t run away!
I’m to blame.
I ruined my home.
Thank you.
Are you alright?
Yes, I am.
Someone dared to bully you?
Tell me clearly
who he is.
Boss,
I went out to collect debts today
and suddenly a guy appeared and beat up on me.
Good God,
why didn’t you learn from
those cruel men like Qi Xia?
Boss, you can’t blame me.
Speaking of cruelty,
that guy won’t lose to Qi Xia.
He’s skilled in martial arts.
I’ve never seen him before.
I guess he’s new in Canglan.
He’s strong?
Is it possible that he works for the country?
I don’t think so.
He lives with
an addict and a kid.
If that’s the case,
bring him here.
I wanna see him.
Boss, what do you mean?
We’re shorthanded at the moment.
Wang Xi was killed by Gu Tao.
Shouldn’t I get more people here?
But he beat me.
Is that more important
than our safety?
Go there
with more brothers tomorrow
and bring him here.
I’ll see how cruel he is.
Mr. Qi!
Mao, what happened?
Mr. Qi, you gotta help me.
My boss was killed by Gu Tao.
Ba, help our brother up.
Here.
That son of a gun, Gu Tao.
I’ve detested him for long.
Good.
In that case,
lend me some men.
I’ll go and kill them right now.
Mao,
killing Gu Tao is not a trifle.
You gotta let me think about it.
We have to
chew it over.
Mr. Qi,
if you don’t help me today,
Gu Tao will have more power
and the next one who’s killed will be you.
If you help me
revenge my boss,
my life will be yours.
Brother,
don’t say anything else.
I value your loyalty.
When I gather enough people,
I’ll tell you immediately.
Go back and wait for my news.
Thank you, Mr. Qi.
Boss, are we really going?
What for?
Hire several strangers
to go with him.
What do you mean, boss?
You don’t get it?
Mao will lead in front of us.
If he fails,
it’ll have nothing to do with us.
If he succeeds,
we’ll benefit a lot from that.
I see.
Brother Xia is here.
Hello, Brother Xia.
-Hello, Brother Xia. -Hi.
Hello, Brother Xia.
Brother Xia. Brother Xia.
How was your luck?
Not bad.
Go on. Keep playing. Keep playing.
Brother Xia.
How was your luck?
Not bad.
Be rich. Be rich.
Ma Liu,
you’re more and more impressive.
Take care of your little body.
Then let’s work out together.
He’s jealous.
Dad!
Dad, don’t be like this.
Fetch me another pack.
-It’s killing me. -Don’t be like this.
I really can’t stand it anymore.
It’s killing me.
Quick. Fetch me another pack!
Go and get it for me!
What’s the matter with you?
Dad, what on earth is the matter with you?
He’s your child.
Can you get through with drugs for his sake?
Can you?
I... I can’t stand it.
I’m sorry.
Because of him,
I don’t even dare to die.
But I just can’t stand it!
Little Stone, fetch a rope.
I can’t...
Quick!
I...
I can’t stand it. I can’t stand it.
I can’t stand... I can’t stand it.
Give it to me.
It’s killing me.
It’s for your dad’s good.
It’s killing me.
Dad!
Dad,
what’s wrong with you?
-It’s killing me. -Dad!
How long has it been?
What?
How long has your dad taken drugs?
Almost one year.
How did he get addicted?
Originally my dad wasn’t like this at all.
He was a driver.
They asked my dad to deliver their goods.
My dad refused.
But they injected that stuff into him.
My mom ran away with anger.
I needed money
so I had no choice
but to help them sell the goods.
Was it the same gang?
Why didn’t you call the police?
My dad has taken drugs for a period of time
and owed them a lot of money.
We can’t make things of this kind clear to anyone.
How much have you owed them?
Fifty thousand yuan.
At first,
it was just ten thousand yuan.
But it grew bigger and bigger
and there’s no end of it.
We’re simply suffering one day at a time.
If it hadn’t been for you,
we would have been beaten again.
Let’s stop talking about it.
Have you had dinner?
Wait for me here. I’ll go and buy it for you.
Why are you here again?
We’re not here for you today.
Where’s he?
He went out to buy dinner.
Did he?
Then I’ll wait here.
He’ll be right back.
Don’t do anything crazy.
Why did you come again?
We’re here for you today.
You want a beating again?
Can you talk?
Our boss wanna talk to you.
Who’s your boss?
The famous Mr. Qi.
Isn’t that an honor? Let’s go.
Sorry. Never heard of him.
You have to be so arrogant, don’t you? Are you going or not?
No.
Go back to where you were
or I’ll do more injuries to you.
Don’t be so ignorant about our kindness.
I’ll stop talking rubbish with you.
Brat, tell your dad.
He doesn’t need to sell our goods anymore.
Pay us back quickly.
He just owes you a little money.
Come to see me later. I’ll pay you back for him.
Don’t do that later.
Pay us now if you can.
I said I’ll pay you back later.
Get lost.
I’ll come again.
Let’s go.
Come on, eat something.
Don’t stand there. Come on.
Little Stone, what are you doing?
My dad will be hungry after he wakes up.
Brother Xia. Brother Xia.
Don’t always chat about those useless stuff.
You hear me?
Keep standing.
Okay. Okay. Okay.
