Original subtitles

Pay up

You pretend dumb...

so you could win big money from me

Want to mess around with me?

Mr Yang...

Forget it...

Hey, Mr Yang...

Help...

Help...

Help...

Come on

Don't be afraid. Where do you live?

I'll take you home

Mister, what's your name?

Go on, hurry back

Thank you

Why are you back so late?

Do you know what time it is now?

This is so unacceptable

You only want to have fun outside all day

... and don't think of advancing yourself

Should you be like this?

You have never applied yourself to studies

... nor looked for a good job

You always cause trouble

... and embarrass me

Don't go

You know I'm a detective

and people know I'm your father

But I warn you:

If you break the law...

I won't spare you

Don't worry

Not everyone knows my father is a detective

... and I never mention your name outside

So you deny me as your father?

Just afraid I'd ruin your reputation, that's all

You...

If your mother were alive...

she'd be so hurt by your behavior

Mother!

You still remember her?

How many years was she sick for?

How did she get so ill?

How did she die?

Who caused her death?

You still remember?

Only I do

Only I do

Do you still remember...

what happened to mother on tomorrow's date?

You...

I was at the grave

My mother

You?

My Mother

What a coincidence...

meeting you here again!

How many years since your mother died?

Three. Yours?

It'll be five years today

We both happen to be without mother

Today it isn't Ching Ming occasion

Yet why are you here at the grave?

Sometimes l...

When I feel wronged

... and abused

I come here

I know mom isn't there to listen

It helps to talk to her, though

Let's go

May I know your name?

I'm Mui Lin

I'm Yang Kuo-liang

It's strange!

I don't know why...

I didn't tell you my name last night

Yet I told you today...

even though you didn't ask me

I'm grateful for last night

Not at all

Who all do you have at home?

Grandma and younger sister

And your father?

Haven't had any news of him

Pardon?

He used to be at sea and...

hasn't returned for so many years

He has not written either

I really don't know where he'd be!

Even if he were alive...

he wouldn't know mom has died;

Nor would he care about us I guess

You're working?

I'm a waitress at the Venice Nightclub

You wouldn't look up to such a job

No, don't say that

There shouldn't be any discrimination

You're better than me at least

I'm unemployed

... and perhaps worse off than you

You don't work?

I did

But I tend to pick up a row every few days

How come?

Haven't a clue

I don't know the reason

Maybe I'm a misfit

Would you like to come home?

No, maybe next time

For a cup of tea perhaps

No, thank you

It's a small a dirty place

Quite unpresentable

No, don't say that

I don't know how to thank you

I can only offer you a cup of tea

If you'd like?

Alright

Over here

Please come in

Have a seat

Who is it?

We've a guest, grandma

Please sit

Who is it?

It's Mr Yang

Mr Yang

Does he have a message from your father?

Grandma

He's not a friend of dad's

She is...

Blind!

Then he is...

My old classmate

I feel sooner or later a friend of your father

... would come to visit us

All these years

as we haven't had a guest in the house

I've always waited for her father

You would know there's no word of him up to now

Grandma, go in and rest

Yes. You both have a chat

Mr Yang

Stay for a while

Good

Sorry

Your grandma

Her eyesight was failing, as it is

And since dad left

... and mom died;

She missed them all the time

and cried the whole day

Eventually she became blind

Have you shown her to a doctor?

We can't afford that

Sister

This is my younger sister

Mr Yang

Mr Yang

She helps with the housework by day

... and attends a night school

This is...

When we have spare time

... we make plastic flowers

Oh, I haven't poured you a cup of tea

Old Cheng, have they come?

Haven't seen them around for a few days

This kid

What do you want him for?

Oh yes

There's a party at the basement now

They will come

The long hair gang

Want a drink?

No, no

Kuo-liang

How come I didn't see you?

Of course you didn't

You only have eyes for your girl

Oh, please!

I called you a few times

and couldn't find you

Where have you been?

In the temple...

You're kidding

Being a monk!

I really thought you've forgotten me

Most unlikely

How's business?

Not bad

This guy owns a gas station...

he's got to be loaded with money

Don't let him go

C'mon, let's have fun some place else

No, 2 guys and a girl is not a good mix

Then I'll get you a girl

I'm abstaining these few days

Go...go...

You carry on

I have to wait for someone

Boy or a girl?

Neither

Stop fooling around, go...

I'll call you

-Today l... -What's up?

We're having a party in the basement

You know each month we have fun

Where's my money?

Your money?

Talking of money always ain't a good thing

What?

You think the money I lent you is dirty!

Are you repaying or not?

Yes, yes

Let's go

I'll think of something

Come and check this out

It's sacred, primitive

I hope you'll join us

Please...

Ha...ha...the dashing mountain stream

Onward ahead we tread...

Breaking through the orthodox customs

Like a wild beast charging ahead. Roaring, growling

Glance at that sun and shudder

The greatness of life belittling the universe

Ha...ha...Insanity of the end of century

Rosy heart, restless heart

Modern age turned to primordial times

Like a wild beast charging ahead. Roaring, growling

Glance at that sun and shudder

The greatness of life belittling the universe

Ha...ha...Insanity of the end of century

Rosy heart, restless heart

Modern age turned to primordial times

What is this?

This is our world

In an illusionary daze

Our eyes is full of mystifying

Only darkness is exist there

In an illusionary daze

The paradise exist in the cluster of flower

The colorful mist is spread all over

We accost eternity

and yelling to the eternity

embrace eternity

Eternity exists in a moment

In an illusionary daze

We are the mystifying generation

Like a flame unleashed

We accost eternity

and yelling to the eternity

embrace eternity

Eternity exists in a moment

In an illusionary daze

We are the mystifying generation

Like a flame unleashed

What sort of a party is this?

It's like being in hell

No, this is our heaven

Nuts

This is the new age

Rubbish, pay up

Money again. So degrading!

If you don't repay me, I've to use desperate measures

Tomorrow then

Tomorrow?

Maybe you'll all be dead

In this regard

Smell yourself

You stink

Trumpet

The trumpet sounds

... and calls to life the flowers

The fragrance spans across the oceans

Trumpet

The trumpet plays

and brings the sound of storm

You are on the boat sailing in stormy sea

The sound of trumpet reverberates in the wind & rain

Accompany me to foreign land

that's miles and miles away

I miss you day and night

Trumpet

The trumpet plays

and brings the sound of wind and rain

You are on the boat sailing in stormy sea

Trumpet

the trumpet plays

It blew away the sound of wind and rain

Sweet fragrance of flowers by your side

Not bad

Don't go...sit...

Smells good

Don't be scared

Don't move

Let me see

Excuse me. Let go please

Small matter

What are your vital statistics?

34, 22, 34

Right?

Pretty much

Is it real or fake?

To find out...

you must let me try

This is Venice nightclub. The name of Love god is...

Venice

Venice should be in the nude form

You'll be sexier in the nude

What are you doing?

Don't bully others

It's none of your business

It is my business

Don't fight...

What's the matter?

He's just trying to meddle in

Sorry, please sit...

Go...

Please sit...

Please...

You bastard

I'll get even with you

Okay

Hey

If you have the guts

Tomorrow at 3 in the afternoon

Meet us at the Fei Ma digging site

Okay

The police are here...

Thank you

You need to see a doctor

It's no big deal

Nothing much

Stay still. Could be an internal injury...

No, it can't be

Don't worry

If it were not for me...

you wouldn't be like this

Can't bear to see you being taken for a ride

I'm not afraid of being out-numbered

If I run into him again

I'll not spare him

No, don't

Don't fight again. I feel scared

Mr Yang, please have some tea

Thanks

Is grandma okay?

She's asleep

Is grandma sick?

She has asthma, an old ailment

Somehow she has to see a doctor

It's difficult to find a complete cure

Oh, yes

This is your money

I can't take it

Neither can l

You're not reasonable

I never was

It's no good

It's good

No, it should be given to you

Consider it as from me to you

and buy them some things

Hello, Mui Lin

Mui Lin

Manager Tao

As from today, don't come again

These are your due wages, take it

Take it

Why?

You infuriated our patrons

I haven't, honestly

Stop arguing, go...

What are you doing?

Are you blind?

Watch where you're going

Alright, let's go

Really!

What's with you?

What's the matter?

Shu Chen

What is it? Speak up

They don't want me anymore

The nightclub?

What's the big deal?

What are you crying for?

It's difficult to get a job now

Why don't you come to work at the bar

I'll introduce you

Perhaps you could earn even more

Right, I'll speak to them now

Shu Chen, no, l...

What's the matter?

Lily...

The guests are looking for you

Come in quickly

Okay

Hurry up

Think about it

If you're willing, come and look for me

By the way, don't call me Shu Chen

Over here, I'm Lily

Good bye

The stars in the sky

shimmer and smile at me

The toll of bells come from afar

ding dong ding dong

The rhythm of bells always at my side

I close palms together in praying

Let the sound of bells bring new hope

Ding dong ding dong

That's the star leading my way

In the dark night I'm not lost anymore

The toll of bells come from afar

Ding dong ding dong

The rhythm of bells always at my side

Praying Heavens to bless our long friendship

The toll of bells reach far

Ding dong ding dong

I'll leave now

Thank you for dinner

Wasn't much

It's good

You're lying to me

No. Didn't you see I had 3 big bowls?

Sleep early

Your sister could be a bit long

Lock the door

I'll visit you in a couple of days. Bye

See you

You've been fighting again?

If you go on like this...

you'll get someone killed one day

Can I go in now?

Get changed first

I have something important to discuss with you

Yes, father

I...I'm getting married

You've seen her

I'd like to know your opinion

False democracy

It's simple. She comes I go

What do you mean by this?

I won't spoil your happiness

What nonsense is this?

Did I say something wrong?

Can't we live together peacefully?

Is that possible for me?

Look at your attitude

Should you treat me like this?

I'm sorry

It's been so many years since your mother died

I have never remarried

I have paid my dues to her

But someone must take care of the home

I know you hate me

You blame me for mother's death

I've told you several times

Don't you still believe me?

What happened that day...

It was my responsibility

Your mother didn't know

Do you still not understand?

You know best what you've done

I am the only one who know about mother's death

I tell you for the last time

Mom needs an operation right away

Uncle, please think of something

Get dad here to sign for it

I really can't find him

I don't know where he is

Please think of something

See if you can locate him

What? Still looking for your father?

We cannot wait anymore. This...

Doctor, I beg you let me sign

I'll assume the responsibility

No. You've not reached the legal age

Your mom is seriously ill

Doesn't your father know about it?

Doctor Lin

Doctor, my mother...

She...

Mother!

If mother had an operation sooner

... she would not have died

You were late

Mom's been sick for 5 years

You never treated her well

I was too busy

I owe her an apology

You were busy?

You had a woman

Of course you were busy

Naturally you owe her an apology

Though mom didn't say it, she knew

And she got worse by the day

She was sick for 5 years

Do you realize how I felt?

I'm also a human being

That's why you should get married

I've said what I had to say

I'm going now

Do you have no feelings at all for me?

It's you who is being harsh

What?

Since I was a kid...

have you cared for me?

Did we ever have a loving family?

No, you were too busy

Every kid would but long for father's love

And on growing up

... the need for compassion becomes even more

Have you ever loved me?

Have you ever tried to understand me?

What have you given me?

How can you say I don't love you?

There's no need to belabour the point

You only love yourself

and your job

and your promotion

So you're saying I'm wrong?

You're not wrong

I'm wrong

I'm leaving

You think you can survive outside?

You needn't worry about me

I know your mother left you some money

But this money...

cannot last you forever

Why do you have to leave?

I can't remain here

Your father...

I have no feelings for him

From now on...

There'll be a way

Oh, don't go to work today

Let's enjoy ourselves

I...

What's the matter?

They fired me

Today?

Yesterday

Then last night you...

After I came back

... you were already gone

It's just as well

But I need to find another job

Don't push yourself too hard

I'll arrange something for you

Let's forget all that for now. Go

We've won

I'm done

Never mind, one more round. Come

Alright

Where could the fire be?!

Fire...! Hurry, everybody run!

Kuo-liang, quick

Sister, help

Help

Grandma

Help

Sister, help

Sister...

Quick, you go first

Go quickly

Grandma...

-Kuo-liang -Grandma

Run quickly

Kuo-liang

Mui Ying

Mui Ying...

Mui Ying...

Who is Mui Lin?

It's me

Come with me

Quickly

Grandma

Grandma...

Say something please

Say something please

Mui Lin

Grandma

Grandma

How's grandma?

How is your sister?

She broke her leg

I have to see her

No, not now

Don't feel sad. Let's go

Let me look again

Everything's gone

This is our home

We grew up here

Now everything's gone

Don't think about it all

Try to forget

Mui Ying's leg....

She'll recuperate after resting for a while

Don't worry

I'll bear the expenses

Are you getting used to living there?

I'm fine

Where are we to go now?

I don't know

Maybe some place far away

Fly....fly to the horizon

Flying to the horizon but where is it?

Fly...fly like the sea bird

Flying high far beyond the horizon

To ride the waves

The waves rush at the sun

The golden sun beams spread on the sea

Flying high in the wind

Fly...fly like the sea bird

Flying high far beyond the horizon

Fly...

Far far away, to find the outer space

Fly....

To help us forget all this

Let's enjoy ourselves fully

No one will disturb us here

We are all alone. How wonderful!

What is this place?

I don't know

This is our world

There is no ugliness nor evil

Only the beauty of nature

Come

Let's return to the beginning

and swim in the ocean like fishes

Come

Come quickly

Come quickly

Come quickly

Think about the birds in the sky, the fishes in the sea

How free and carefree they are

How wonderful!

Let us build a hut

and live here for the rest of our lives

Do you want that?

Yes

The simple life is best

Aren't you afraid of loneliness?

No, it won't be lonely here

Look

Listen

What are these sounds?

The laughter of flowers and the songs of birds

The waves kissing the sand

Small talk between the sun and the trees

The murmuring of the trees' shadows

The breathing of the air

Are these not voices!

Indeed

They are peaceful and harmonious

There won't be loneliness

Right, you are right

We should praise such beauty

Oh, I'll play the guitar and you sing

Where's the guitar?

Just pretend

What are you singing?

It doesn't have a name

With a cluster of clouds

Use the sun-beams as a drape

And put it on my supple body

Take a few pieces of leaves

Use the green grass to weave a hat

And put it on my head

For you...

To embroider a flower on your heart

Emitting fragrance forever

Pick up some sea shells

Use the vine to string together two necklaces

To adorn on your neck and mine

Sister

Brother Kuo-liang

Sister, what will be come of us?

We'll find a way

Don't feel sad

Our home...

Where are we going to live?

Mui Ying, don't worry

Sister will think of something

I afraid I'll be crippled

No, never

You'll recover

I asked the doctor

If you rest well...

you'll recover in one to two months

I've used a lot of your money

Sister's medical bills are too expensive

I want to move her to the general ward

Don't

I still have money

With you shouldering such expenses

I feel very uncomfortable

Don't talk about these things

Let's hope her leg gets fine

I must find a job

What do you want to do?

I'll do anything

Don't be a fool

It's not easy finding a job

Somehow we ought to think of a way

Let's discuss later

I'm very worried...going on like this

What are you afraid of?

Look, there's hospital

It saves lives

Here's a church, it saves soul

Why do we need to scared?

Old Cheng. That's me

I want to sell the car

I'll let you decide on the price

Oh?

Okay

But I want cash

Come in

Come in

Hi

Lee, Dora, Mimi, Sasa

This is Mr. Yang

This is the latest fashion

What's your game?

How do you know I live here?

Of course I do

There's nothing I don't know

Where's your girl?

Not here?

She doesn't live here

You are such a boyscout

Cut the bullshit

What do you want?

Aren't they pretty?

I don't know what you mean

-What? -Stay

You'll know in a while

What do you want anyway?

Let's be partners

Partners?

Yes

Let's set up an office here

and conduct import- business

What are you up to?

A business that offers pleasure

Look at them

How perfect they are

Ask them to put the clothes on. Get out

What?

What's wrong?

You can try

Scram...

Get lost all of you

What are you doing?

We want you to be our manager

Do you want me to get in trouble with the law?

This is big money

if only you would help

You are so low. Phew!

Forget what's moral or immoral

This is about money

Get out

Otherwise, I'll beat you up

Then at least pay fifty dollars

... for their time

Reckon thirty dollars will be fine

We haven't eaten yet

Excuse me...

Who are you looking for?

Is Shu Chen here?

Pardon?

Is Lily here?

Lily, someone's looking for you

It's you

Come on in

Shu Chen, I need to talk to you

Come inside

What's the matter?

I...

Look at you

What's there to be embarrassed about

Do you want to work here?

I knew that sooner or later you would

Just a sec.

I'll talk to the boss

It's okay

When can you start?

Tomorrow

Mui Lin

Just returned?

Let's eat together

I...

What's the matter?

I've found a job

... at a bar

What? You...

You can't go

You can't take that job

I know you are good to me

But we are both unemployed

Your money...

I told you not to talk about this

Do you suspect my money is dirty?

No, I had been poor

I know it's hard to earn money

If you don't have employment

You eventually use up your money

I know

In any case you can't work in a bar

Let's think of something else

Let's not talk about these things for now

Go

There, we've won again

Let's go

Okay

Long time no see

How have you been?

Just the same

How's your luck?

I won a little

Thank you

This is...

A friend

Very beautiful

Your luck is not bad

Do you want to win more?

How?

I heard your showhand is not bad

I want to try your skill

I'll get a few more friends to play with you

... and let's see who's the best

Let's do it in a few days time

What? Are you afraid?

What do you mean?

See who is the expert

I don't think you can win

Alright

Your call

What?

I've lost

Be patient

It's just a matter of luck

I did not win because of my skill

Come, let's play again

Ah Bing

get Mr. Yang chips for five thousand

Sit down

Come, let's play

Come on, what's a small loan

Sit

I owe you five thousand dollars

I'll return in a few days

What?

Want to go just like that?

It's not that easy

I'll return your money

Where's the money?

If you don't have the money

... don't think of leaving;

Unless...

What do you want?

You leave your girl behind

What?

Leave her behind...

and forget the five grand

Kuo-liang

Stop fighting

Kuo-liang

Stop fighting

Stop it

Kuo-liang

Kuo-liang

Let me go

Mui Lin

Mui Lin

What's wrong?

I'm afraid

I'm here

I'm afraid

I'm here

Was it a nightmare?

No, it's real

Is she alright?

She's weak and caught a cold

She needs rest

Count this

Thank you

Goodbye

How do you feel?

I'm fine

I don't need a doctor

You should lie down

I've rested too much

I'm fine

Have you seen David and his friends?

They haven't been here for a while

What about old Chan?

Haven't seen him either

Do you have business with them?

Many borrow from me

And when I need help

... nobody's around

Kuo-liang

Old Cheng

Mr. Yang

I saw you come in

You have business with the boss

Nothing special. Just chit chat

Yes

Old Cheng

You know Chan Bill

I haven't seen him for a while

Are you looking for him?

What for?

To kill him

Don't be rash. What's the matter?

We've been observing him

... he cannot escape

Enjoy your drink

We're leaving

Goodbye...

Two orders of beer please

Let's drink

We'll get a couple of pretty girls

Good

... to take along with us

Mr. Yang. Don't fight

Who's fighting?

Who's fighting, huh?

It's me

Hello

Is it Miss Mui?

Yes

We are calling from Kwong Wah Hospital

Shall appreciate if you could come over

What about my sister?

You have to come and pay her bill

I'm coming

Come in

Do you know where Mr. Yang has gone?

He has gone to look for his friends

We can neither visit him...

nor bail him out

What's to be done?

Oh yes, you could seek his father's help

His father?

His father is a detective

Really?

Didn't you know?

Get his father quickly

Let him think of something

Who are you looking for?

Mr. Yang

Not here

He's not here

When will he return?

Late

Miss Ting

Miss Ting

Can I have a few more days' grace?

I've stalled the deadline for you

I promise I'll think of something to pay up

Please do me a favour

I'll give you three more days

I cannot stall this any longer

I know

Thank you

Sister

I waited for you the whole day yesterday

Why didn't you come?

I was sick

What?

Sister, what's wrong with you?

I'm fine

You're lying

You are hiding something

No, I'm fine

Sister, you look bad

I didn't sleep well. I'm fine

Why isn't Kuo-liang with you?

He's busy

He's been real good to us

Sister, we don't know how to thank him enough

It must be expensive here

So I want to move to the general ward

Let's talk about this in a few days

Also, when my leg has recovered,

where will we move to?

I'll think of something

Don't worry yourself

I know all about you

Although he has no feelings for me

... he is still my son

Of course I care about him;

But going on like this

... is unthinkable

His actions are unacceptable

To others as well as himself, he's not doing any good

Since you are with him

... you should reason with him

Put him on the right track

Old sir, forgive him one more time

Let him out

I can't do it

How long must he be locked up?

I don't know

Please help

There's no way

This is the law

Take this money

Take it

The tempting lips...

It's the wild youth

Let my love full of joy

The tempting lips...

It's the flame of passion

Make my blood pulsate swiftly

From dark night to dawn

Let us hold tightly

Let's have a profound kiss

From dark night to dawn

The tempting lips, the passionate kiss

It's like the explosion of volcano

Melting down the two of us

We won't separate tonight

Let us hold tightly

Let us have a passionate kiss

From dark night to dawn

The tempting lips, the profound kiss

It's like the explosion of volcano

Melting down the two of us

Mui Lin

Kuo-liang

Are you well?

Let's go up

Have you been to the hotel?

I left an address

The waiter told me

I was locked up for five days

I'm sorry

I went to your father to ask for help

... but he did not agree

He gave me five hundred dollars

What?

You took his money!

We don't want his pity

We wouldn't seek alms from him

Sister's medical bills

... and the hotel bills;

How can I deal with them?

Kuo-liang, please don't blame me

I don't blame you

I blame myself

I was wrong

We cannot go on like this

We must find employment

You've come back so late...

I was at the bar

Why do you have to work there?

Why?

Is this the only way?

If I could find something better

... would I still work there?

You could have waited till I came out

I didn't know when you could, right!

I needed money urgently

Money, money

For money can you sell yourself?

I haven't, trust me

Is money such a big temptation to you?

Believe me, it isn't

You suspect I had sex with clients?

I don't know

Other than that time when I was raped

I have not

I don't know

How can I make you believe me?

Your body...

I'm innocent

I don't know

My body is before you

... other than that time

I have not

Do you think I'm no more worthy of your love?

So you don't want me

If it's really like this, you can go

and I can die to prove my innocence!

No

No

No

No

How can I ask you to be my assistant?!

If you need money

... there's no problem

We are friends

How much do you need?

No, I don't need money

I need a job

You won't be interested in this sort of thing

Interest has nothing to do with it

I need to be employed

Are you by any chance joking?

Of course I'm serious

I don't believe

Old Lau, are you afraid I'm not competent

... or that I'll cause you trouble?

Don't talk like that

Good. If you think I have the ability

then...

Wouldn't you be over-qualified?

No, I just wish to lead a straight life

Mui Lin

I made it

I'll start work in the afternoon

... at the gas station

That's great

How's sister?

She can walk now

Oh, let's go and find an apartment

You don't need to work in the bar anymore

See if this works

After I have cleared the debt of the bar

I won't work there anymore

Excuse me, I have to make a call

Hello

Is this Kuo-liang

Mui Lin

It's almost twelve. You hungry?

No

Have something to eat

I'll wait till you come back

What time will you be off?

At three

What would you like to eat?

I'll get it on my way back

I want to kiss you

So naughty!

Whatever you like

See you

Hurry

Alright

Fill it up

Alright

Where're you going?

Stay there...

Don't run...

Stay there...

Stay there...

Isn't he the son of Detective Yang?

Kuo-liang, put down your gun

Put down your gun

Put it down

Put down your weapon

Isn't he Kuo-liang?

Put down your gun

Kuo-liang...Put down your gun

Kuo-liang, put down your gun

Please put your gun down

Kuo-liang, put down your gun

Put down your gun

Kuo-liang

Put down your gun!
