Michael, I heard this kid isn't too reliable
keep an eye on him, okay?
I know
Damn!
Do you want to die!
Young master, the kid is here
Michael, it's all done
I'm coming right back
Phone call for you
what? Phone call for you
thanks
it's a girl
Is it may?
Brandon, I'm finally dancing
may, speak a little louder
I said, the manager has finally agreed to let me dance today
that's great!
I pick you up for work
don't be late
all right, I won't be late
meet you at the same place. Be on time! Bye!
Bye!
Hung, look after your brother and sister
come, follow me
don't crowd
hung, watch your brother and sister
What happened?
Mom left on the bus
let me get you back to her
What is it?
Mom, sister is gone
how did that happen? You were holding her hand
Sister
mom
here she is
I'll play with you again soon
What's your story this time?
How much time do you have to listen?
No time, we're late!
You forgot this is my first time to dance
I didn't think may could dance this well; Not bad
Boss hello
Mr. tang, when did you come back?
Manager
please, sit
Sure
Uncle, you made a fortune from our last shipment
it's no big deal
if we killed that guy for no big deal
I feel sorry for him
kau, what are you blabbering about?
It's all right, uncle; I would have done the same if I were you
but that guy died a painful death
Uncle, with me watching over you and your son, you must feel great
but that depends on whether you know how to behave
cut the crap; What do you want?
Kid, you're still wet behind the ears; When is it your turn to speak?
You have a lot to learn from your dad
but, uncle, you're making too much
your brain is too stuffed with money you can't calculate any more
the last shipment was worth five million
but you only gave me a pittance
you know those were inferior goods
so much flour was mixed in how can it be worth so much?
Uncle, stop treating me like a child
I handled that last shipment
I know how much it's worth
give me twice the amount this time
I'll take this how
go home, think about it
if anything happens, it's your head
dad, have the icac arrest him
use your brain
if he stays, we'll die
then what shall we do?
Kill him
get a fresh face to do this
Manager, may I dance again tomorrow?
Again? Do something useful
get to work: Don't break the camera
take a picture of you?
Fatso, did you smile?
Of course, I was in the picture with you
you looked great
it is nice
pay up, fatso
thank you
miss, take a picture, please
I took one of you yesterday
yes, but you weren't in it with me
but...
Please do me this favour
Take a picture of us, please?
Sure
smile
Michael
how are you?
Have you seen Brandon?
He's working here, too
are you two still together?
I have to greet my clients
How many in your party, sir?
We don't need you; Get the manager
Michael is there
I'll go over in a minute
kid, get me five beers
hurry
right away
five beers
Brandon
Michael! It's been forever; I thought you disappeared
I had to take care of family business
sir? You're looking for me?
Are you the manager?
Yes, can I help you?
Of course
otherwise we wouldn't have come
we are collecting protection money
protection fee?
Someone has already collected it...
That is them, this is me
well...
How much?
Eighty grand
eighty grand?
Is that too much?
It's not
but please understand I cannot make that decision
come back tomorrow
you're trying to trick me
if you're not the boss, save your breath
get me someone who can decide
I'm sorry, pardon me
Pardon me... get me another one!
Why are you still standing here? Go!
Sorry
put these flares away for me we'll set them off after work
yes, sir
I will get my boss right away
they're not easy to handle. Be careful
Let me apologize to you
one punch each; Fair and square
I just work here; Why are you making fun of me?
Making fun of you?
You're making fun of me not the other way around
kid, come to the alley with me if you dare
Kid, I've been street-fighting for years
no one has ever beaten me
I'll knock you out in 3 seconds
How many seconds do you want?
Brandon
come here
What happened to you?
I'm fine
why were you beating people up?
What? They were beating me up!
I'll show you something you've never seen before
truly, this will be your first time
This is a 0.44, just brought over from the Philippines
one shot can kill an elephant
Get some bullets and try it out
careful!
What happened between you and may?
We're fine
if you're dumping her, give her to me
I don't mind wearing old shoes
as soon as it reacts, I'll shoot it
I'm just kidding, relax
I'm kidding, too; It's not loaded
This gun has tremendous kick you have to hold it with both hands
you don't have to work two jobs
why don't you work for me?
I pay more in a month than you'd make in a year
I'm not suitable for your jobs
What's wrong with you? Are you blind?
Miss, when do you get off? I'll wait for you
Let's go watch a movie
all right
in your dreams!
Wait for me
what are you doing?
Going to the restroom
Thanks
you're always with him aren't you bored?
Forget it, Michael
we're getting married next month
What do you want?
My boss kau said he didn't like your attitude that day
you two better come up with the money
you know what happens if you don't
Are you okay?
I'm fine
are you all right? Who are they?
Kau
who is kau?
This is personal; Stay out of it
you were beaten up! I can't stay out of it!
We are friends
forget it; Stay out of it
forget it
okay
That man went upstairs
Cid! Freeze!
It's okay; He's one of us
kau
kau, that shipment belongs to uncle
don't threaten me with him
take it all away
kau, don't lose your temper over young people
if you're unhappy about anything just tell me
I was here, drinking all night I don't know what happened outside
then it's my bad luck $3million worth of goods, gone
you're talking about tonight?
That was a routine check
we made a deal last time
why was there a routine check?
You understand; I can't resist pressure from above
but I'm lucky to get information
uncle, it's only a few million
it's a pittance to you
fine, this is my apology to your boss
we'll discuss details over dinner tomorrow night
uncle, you have such a tight hold on purse strings. How can we discuss?
No need to discuss anything
if you are okay with this bring the money tomorrow
Dad, pain now is better than problems later
let's use my plan
these two guns and bullets are identical
at that time, I'll carry one, and fool will have the other
kau will surely die this time
will it work to use the kid as a scapegoat?
Just take care of yourself
we must make our move in person and not rely on your men
we must be punctual
Kau?
Yes
just say what you want
see you tonight at the middle east restaurant
okay
I like living here; It's less crowded
what are you thinking about?
I have it figured out by working two jobs now
I will have saved enough money in five months to buy something I like
this model is great
a motorcycle?
So?
You just think about the motorcycle
I'm nothing to you
this bike is powerful, has a great motor, and is fuel-efficient
it makes steady turns; All the cars behind it will eat its dust
and I have no part in this
you do, the back seat is reserved for you
it's not practical to spend the money on a motorcycle
Motorcycles again!
Fine, I won't buy a motorcycle
I'll save this money for our baby
Don't think about motorcycles
Brandon
yes
sorry I got you hurt that day
come for dinner at the middle east restaurant
now?
Yes
I don't have time
you must come, we'll wait for you
Brandon, over here
what took you so long?
This is my first time in this kind of restaurant
wash your hands, that's the etiquette
Please give me a knife and fork
we don't use utensils; Middle-eastern food is eaten with your fingers
with my fingers?
Yes, just your right hand; Try it
I caused you to be beaten; Sorry
I'm fine; You're worse
what does kau have against you?
I'd like to know myself
Sir, someone is at the door for you
that's kau
Kau
we'll talk over there
need help?
No
Please sit
Dad is ill, so he didn't come
I don't care of he sent his dog here...
As long as the amount is correct
You're trying to trick me again
business has not been good lately
dad said to ask you to take half first
bargaining is for women's markets
take the money back to buy coffins for both of you
Go to hell
stop
kid freeze
stay away, punk
I'm a cop; Put down your gun
he's not a cop; Don't believe him
punk, it's none of your business
he's my friend
Michael
Young master, how is your foot?
It's fine, just a little scratched
good thing I wore a bullet-proof vest
Kid, you have guts
just shooting people like that
do you know who you killed?
He was kau, chief of the narcotics squad in the police
You're looking at a long jail sentence
wait and see
Are you satisfied, chief lau?
Thank you uncle we'll work together again
bottoms up!
Make yourselves at home
money earned belongs to everyone
that was a brilliant move
you would even betray your friends like father, like son
Mr. wong, as our lawyer, when you visit the kid tomorrow...
Try to persuade him...
To remember to say he was alone
boss, don't worry
he's simple-minded; Easy to handle
this way, chief lau
it's important you don't say the wrong thing now
I will compose your oral statement for you
just recite it when you are in court
how is Michael?
He's badly hurt but recovering now
that's why you must not say that you were together
that is very important
as for your girlfriend, don't worry
Michael will take good care of her
and we will do the same
is this a serious crime?
You only killed out of self-defence it shouldn't be serious
I will try to lessen the sentence
it's most important that you trust us
I declare that Brandon ma is...
Guilty of manslaughter...
And will serve a sentence of eight years to commence immediately
Name?
Brandon ma
on what charge?
Manslaughter
how many cages?
That means, how long is your sentence
eight years
are you in a gang?
No
Do you wish to appeal?
That means you haven't decided
from now on, we will call you by a number
your number is 1368
your life and behaviour...
Will be under our scrutiny
the alarm rings at 6:00am
you have five minutes to make your bed...
Groom, and use the washroom
you have fifteen minutes for breakfast
you will work eight hours a day...
Five and a half days a week
during work, unless permitted...
You may not speak to anyone
your daily pay is $1.60...
Out of which we'll keep 40 cents...
To return to you upon your release
you must absolutely obey the instructions from the officers...
But you have the right to complain
are you clear on that?
In here, you and I are in the same boat
you wait for release, I wait to get paid
we're both killing time in a jail
so I hope you will behave
Inside
Get up, get to work! Go
1368, did you kill kau?
Incredible
this is from me
A real man admits to what he has done
I deserve my punishment
don't worry, I live well here
I like your haircut
may, did Mr. wong call you?
Sorry, I promised to marry you...
But now, I won't be able to
you must be disappointed
I don't smoke, you take it
keep it; This is money, it's useful
Come one, give me another one
what's wrong?
He owes me cigarettes
how many?
One more
let's go
are you all right?
I'm fine
you're a real pal
be careful; It's complicated in here
what did you do?
Weapons; I'm a gun dealer
hey! You have many cigarettes
he's a newcomer
shut up, not you
you! Come here
Either you kiss my ass or you call me "papa"
Squat down!
Don't move
squat down!
You must have started it
How could you let this happen?
You know life is complicated here
everyone here is a major criminal
and those damn westerners
actually...
Since you know the bosses watch us...
You shouldn't do stir up this major stuff
if it happens again, I will not deal with it
you'll deal with it yourself
watch what you do
get out
yes, sir
Your punishment is to serve three more months
you'll get more if you misbehave
May, I have never written such a difficult letter
I hope to get out of here as soon as possible
this incident ruined all of our plans
you must be very disappointed
I don't know how much longer I have to serve
Mr. wong came a few days ago
I know Michael is worried about me
he is a true friend
you must take care of yourself
ask Michael for help if you need anything
he will take good care of you for me
love, Brandon
Please wait outside; We'll know soon
thank you
you're welcome
Congratulations!
Tell your husband, he will be a father
come back for a check-up in 2 weeks
Miss, don't go
this is from me
thank you
shall we talk in my hotel?
Your hotel?
I'll give you a ride
I want to talk about Brandon with you
sorry
miss, I have another gift for you miss
How have you been?
Do you know I've missed you
is there a chance to appeal Brandon's case?
Appeal? He killed a man
we're lucky it's only eight years
what more do you expect?
You're still young; Isn't it better to marry me?
You are such scum!
Brandon is in jail because of you and still you say such things
stop, I want to get out
don't pretend to be proper
I am nice to you just to save you face
you think you're a lady? You're a whore!
Don't let her get away
Help! Somebody is...
Manager, are you all right?
They will find you
you must not stay here
go!
Go to Macau or even to lantau
just hide
avoid Michael if you can
I heard rumours that...
The cop at middle east restaurant... Was killed by Michael's men
Brandon was only a scapegoat
you must go
and you?
Don't worry about me; Go
Stop crying
the manager told me about you
it's bad for you to stay in Hong Kong
come to Brazil with me: Avoid Michael
my wife died years ago I have no children
I would like a companion
I am pregnant
that's fine, I like children very much
I just cannot have my own
please understand, I'm not asking you to marry me
I just want a companion
discuss it with your boyfriend before you decide
A personal gift. Four-eyes
Hey, you've got a big mouth
get away, freak
are you talking to me?
Son of a bitch
What's wrong?
Ignore him
hello there, four-eyes
I knew you would come because you're nosey
Okay, how do you want to play?
No more
Papa, are you okay?
Piss off, piss off
later, when we arrive, what will you tell your boyfriend?
If you say you're pregnant...
Would he worry even more?
Get down, it's Michael's men
driver, back up, quickly!
Let me get off
in this case, you shouldn't see him
you must leave Hong Kong now
I'll have the manager tell Brandon
Where did may go?
I haven't seen her for weeks
she left Hong Kong with huang
huang?
The old overseas Chinese who came every night
they went to Brazil
I don't think she will come back
how can she leave at this time?
She has no choice, Michael was after her
Michael?
He promised to take care of may
take care of her?
She almost got raped by him
also, I heard about...
The incident at middle east restaurant...
Michael's man killed kau
you were just a scapegoat
are you sure about this?
You've worked for me for so long why would I lie to you?
Don't feel so bad
you just made a bad friend
may will be happy with huang
she found a good home you should be happy for her
time's up
behave yourself!
Time's up
What's going on?
Drag him back in
go!
Stay cool, you have 8 more years of this
if you can't take it now...
How will you be in two years?
How will you last past the next few years?
You want to escape?
There are many sharks out there
swimming out there to feed the sharks? Isn't it better to stay nicely in jail?
Eight years will soon pass
work!
You know it's a dead end, yet you still want to go
you want to escape? I have a way
stay right there
what are you doing, four-eyes?
I wanted to pick up the trash down there
get back up
He is my friend
are you sure this will work?
If it doesn't work, give me back my money
you're crazy, if it's guaranteed, I would have escaped long ago
why would I still be here?
Listen to him, 1368
this map can get you out
there will be a truck at the gate at 2:00am
do you want to risk it?
I do
and you?
I'll be released next month see you outside
Stop
You may go
thank you, sir
What are you doing there?
Come out
How did you get on the truck?
I ask you, how did you get on the truck?
How did you get on the truck?
Sergeant yu, how many strokes?
He has appendicitis, send him to the hospital
yes, sir
Kid, I know all about you
even if you went and killed him...
What good would it do?
You'd just have to come back to jail
think about it
Time for you to go, and me to start
manager ip
sergeant yu
manager ip
sir, why does the guard tell me Brandon is in solitary confinement...
And cannot receive visitors?
He nearly killed me
you're kidding
he tried to escape
what happened?
I did not report it
I will watch him for you
it's not for me; I'm also helping a friend
how is my son doing at your nightclub?
I don't want to talk about it; He almost got me fired
what happened?
I assigned him to washroom duty but he stole from me
he stole the washroom?
Not the washroom itself
he took toilet paper, soap, ashtrays...
To use at his home
that punk
don't worry, I'll watch your son
but...
I'll also help you watch Brandon
I told you it's not for me
I'll watch him for your friend
here's the ferry, let's go
Brandon, don't think too much about it
may has gone with huang to Brazil she will be happy there
she has a good family now you should be happy for her
Bless my health and my family

dad, you used to come here only on the anniversary of mom's death
what's different now?
I was busy before; Now I have time
see, I don't even have to walk
so I'm saving up some good deeds
I don't think I'll live long I will join your mother soon
Michael, things are chaotic now
it's a good chance for you to develop your business
while I am still alive and can help you
there are many virgin territories now
get what you can
establish relationships with people you think will be good for you
get rid of those who are in your way

Brandon
