Excuse me

Here's my homework

Don't forget to sign attendance for me. Bye-bye

Cutting class again?

You're wasting money

Who says? I'm learning to make money

Wait

Ladies & gentlemen, we're in Shinjuku

A name well-known to all of you

It's in the heart of Tokyo

with the most tall buildings

They were all built in the 70's

Shinjuku is divided into two areas

East Shinjuku is the shopping center and red light area

West Shinjuku is the business center

Building are of all shapes and sizes

There is also an ultra-modern space building

of outstanding design

It's the Tokyo Metropolitan Hall

Sit anywhere you like

Why stand here? Don't be shy

Snap when she's in position

You're next

okay

Sit wherever you like

Take the front seats to get a better look

Anyone interested

may go up and have a go

No extra charges, and no remuneration either

Here you are Take the banner

My job's done

Pay me!

No hurry. Wait till the show's over

I'll have to procure

for these guys later

Idiot, that's easy money

I don't care for it. Pay up!

Come on, Japan's prima donna. Look!

I'm not watching. Pay up!

Wait till it's over

Are you going to pay or not?

Here you are!

You win

After the lady

has gone in

Go ahead and try your luck

If you win, you may do anything you like

Buddy, what wrong with you?

You talked big. Why not try?

Not the right sum

Why not? 12,000 yen

Chicken!

What?

The price is 15,000 yen, why only 12,000 now?

12,000 is too much

under the current depression.

Go away!

Why don't you try?

Come with me!

What's wrong?

Not paying up?

You're lucky

My pager

called

I take

3,000 only

I quit!

Have you been doing it with girls often?

Sometimes

What's wrong?

It's all right. Scrub the floor

Ming called us to go drinking at Royal Salute

I don't feel like sponging on Ming all the time

Never mind

Don't forget us Hong Kong Macao brethren

when you become Premier of the State Council

I'm content with being Mayor

of Hong Kong only

A few hours' expenses here

could sustain me for a year

Man does not live to make money only

You must learn how to spend it too

Learn from me and stay happy

Welcome

Please sit down

I'm Chang Chih. Nice to see you

You must've come from China

Yes. And you?

No, I came form Taiwan

She's from the mainland

Where are you from?

Beijing or Shanghai?

You must be a Hong Kong man

You're dressed like one

Do you know someone called...

There are only two kinds of people here

Men and women

The former to spend money and the latter to make money

I was just trying to ask

if they knew Ta-hao

A toast to you both!

Cheers!

Her name is Wei Ta-hao

She's my girlfriend

She's been in Japan for over three years

If you happen to see her, please tell her

that I, Chang Chih, have come

from the mainland to find her. Tell her to contact me

This is my phone, and my address

Come and select a lady!

Oh, so you choose this one!

Let's first try the one you haven't chosen

"No, it hurts"

Now, this one is you:

"Oh, it's too good, too good"

"I want more"

So, you're responsive

and a good partner

Drink to our meeting

Please don't!

No problem

Why are there so few girls?

Sorry

That's no way to treat my friends!

I'm really sorry

Tell the boss to come here

And bring as many Chinese-speaking girls as possible

Yes, sir

Sorry, I'm late

Hey, Chang Chih!

Try to have a good time

Drink up!

I'll drink later

Welcome

Mind introducing your friends?

Yuriko

I'm Chang Chih

I'm Ben. How do you do?

She's the boss here. She's the oldest

but the most beautiful woman here

Beauties from China,

Hong Kong, Taiwan

Pleased to meet you

This is my card. How do you do?

Miss, which part of China did you come from?

Chang Chih

Please don't

bother the lady

Not all Chinese girls work

in a bar like her

I'm only trying my luck

Not every Chinese girl

likes to work here

I want this woman for tonight

You want to make me cry for a whole night?

Then you take her, Ben

What's wrong?

Apologize, quickly

He's a tough character

I drink this to show my apology

Sorry

Ming, we're here for fun, remember?

Cheers!

Are you unwell? Care to go back to our seats?

They'll make me drink more. Please continue to dance with me

okay

Excuse me

"In that far country"

Watch out!

"There is a nice girl"

Damn you!

Just when I'm in a bad mood!

Come over

Don't go away!

Mother fucker!

What now?

You think your chopper can scare me off?

You son of a bitch!

You're pissed!

It was so exciting!

More corpses in the street of Tokyo

if I didn't keep cool!

Taxi!

Wait!

Don't drink too much like that!

What's on?

Get in

Don't drag me!

Get in the car

Where are we going?

Come home

Miss

Want your palm read?

I think you should, your face bodes ill luck

I have no money

Mei-mei, please, I'm not in the mood

What are you doing here?

Don't forget I am your sponsor in Japan

I want to make sure you've been a nice girl

It's my responsibility

It's not nice of you to work as a bargirl

Mei-mei, your big mouth!

Mei-mei

What are you doing here?

I can't sleep, I need some company

Shame on you!

What of it?

Can't she keep me company

like she did with other men?

I'll pay for it

I've kept you company. Why don't you pay me?

You like to

Mei-mei, don't!

Enough!

You told me you only loved me

Do you want her or me?

Mei-mei, don't insult yourself

You can say that

You're beautiful, you can make money

I can't, I have no one but him

Mei-mei, come with me

Quiet, both of you!

I'll have you both, I can afford that

Stop the noise, won't you?

Sorry, sorry

Why have we come here?

For our future or for men?

You can debase yourself at home

Why have you come to

Japan to do it?

Who are you looking for?

Harada

No such person here

Don't lie

We've been tailing him since last night

You've come to the wrong place

This is the quarter for Chinese students

outrageous!

Tell Harada to repay the loan plus interest

or we'll come in to get him

It's just a small loan

Be a man and face them

I'm going upstairs. These bastards!

Go and face them

Stop that! I've already called the police

People from the Chinese Consulate will be here soon

We will be back, Harada

Come with me

Where to?

Who cares?

It's better to starve in the street than stay here

Are you coming or not?

Asses, fooled by a woman!

Let's go. I'll treat you to breakfast

Let's celebrate

Listen, high-and-mighty!

Your passport is with me. If I cancel my sponsorship

you'll have to return to China

I'll find myself another sponsor

Men like you can be had by the dozen

in the streets of Toyko

Your film is interesting in concept

But the execution

is less interesting

Understand, Mr Chang?

Sir, I don't follow you

Sorry, my Japanese is still...

okay, class dismissed

Li san, it's been a long time

Thanks for your visit

Don't mention it. I'll come often whenever I have time

Don't mention it. I'll come often whenever I have time

This used to be a beach

The teacher of the orphanage often brought us here

But always, when the sun sets

We had to return to the orphanage

I'm Ben. I'm away from home

Please leave your contact phone number. Thank you

Ben, it's mom. Not in again?

Tomorrow's your birthday

Let me wish you a Happy Birthday

Call me collect, when you have time

Get in touch with Ming if you're in difficulties

He's stayed longer in Japan

I'm fine, and nothing can please me more

than to see you

doing well in school

Well, so long

"Happy birthday to you"

As I had no time to buy you

a birthday present...

What?

Throw it away if you don't like it

What?

Even the richest man won't send such a gift!

You can't get anything new without parting with the old

Let's try them out

Great!

Great engine!

Come in. It's cold outside

For the sake of this new car, I'll satisfy her

The car is only an engagement present

She may even buy me a plane when we get married

Why don't you congratulate me?

I never thought you'd love her and even marry her

Love? I love her brother's o mo kai

Idiot!

It's self-sacrifice

It's my key to enter

her brother's syndicate, understand?

Shut up, won't you?

Ben's complaining

he can't be happy like us

He can have his pick of the girls in my bar

But the one he loves has left

Who?

A haughty Chinese girl

who's worked for a few days only

Tieh-lan?

Right. You know where she is?

I don't know. I only know she's a student

Studying at the Interculture Japanese Language School

Thank you

Look at that idiot

Where shall we go?

What about the seaside?

The sea reminds me of home, which is just on the other side

Want to compete in car racing?

They've found me again

Who's it?

People who want my life

Sit tight

Ben?

Watch out!

Stop!

Damn you!

I'll kill you!

Why are you taking his side? What's he to you?

Wait. Don't go!

Why are you helping him?

Why do you take his side?

What's up?

I'm all right. Take a look at the car

It's not easy to produce such a wreck

I'll pay you back

Damn, you talk to me like that?

So what?

Are you out of your mind? What do you take me for?

What are friends for?

There's no damned point in crying!

Want to get breast-fed?

Don't cry!

Why are you armed? And tattooed!

In China,

only gangsters are like that

It's the same in Japan too

Are you afraid?

Go away, if you are

I'll miss you though

Not afraid of me?

No, I'm in love with you

Father, mother, hope this finds you well

I'm doing fine in Tokyo

Please don't worry about me

I work whenever I'm free from studies, and earn enough for myself

Please set your mind at ease

What are you doing? It's none of our business

Why not?

Would you help her

If she were your girlfriend?

Don't go!

Wait for me here, I'll go

Go

Wait, please wait!

All men are brothers

There's nothing we can't talk about between us

Have a cigarette

offering a cigarette to this kind of a man?

What are you doing?

Let go!

I've got to find out what's wrong

You must be out of your mind!

They've gone

The ceremony had begun

What's the hurry? It's not her first time

Congratulations!

Thank you

Excuse me

Congratulations!

Thank you

There'd be no one from my side attending the wedding, if not for you two

Formerly in Hong Kong,

my mom adored me

But the others hated me

because I didn't study hard

Right, I don't care for studies

I failed badly in every exam

What does that matter?

I've done all the adult stuff

since 12

Would they dare do that?

No!

I thought I've tried everything

The only thing I've never tried is

Falling in Love

I've never been in love

But I got jilted the moment

I felt it

My heart aches, understand?

You call that love

What about me then?

My story is even sadder

We grew up together

Now I've lost her

Even if she were to grow old

and ugly

or turned bad

At least let me have a chance to see her

Even if she were dead, I'd be content to carry her ashes home

to take care of her for the rest of my life

When I left the orphanage I followed Big Brother

We were poor but happy

Finding a living in the streets

one day, Big Brother said

we could get rich

if we robbed the drugs smuggled in by o mo kai

I obey Big Brother in everything

I robbed them and killed their head

I was seventeen

Then I escaped to South America

I was lonely in foreign lands

Always thinking of Big Brother

Then I came back, everything has changed

The beach is no more

Big Brother has his own Matsuda-gumi

But he shuns me

o mo kai wants to kill me, the police is after me

I'm always

always a loner

Asano

It's all right, an old friend

It's been a long time

How are you?

Fine

Big Brother wants to see me

Remember to meet me at the coffee shop tonight

It's about time, I should go back

So many new friends

Where's Big Brother?

How could it be you?

Big Brother said you shouldn't have come back

A cup of coffee, please

It's good to see you again

Seen Big Brother?

A reunion in tears?

It must be

Big Brother, he's changed completely

Everything has changed, except you

What's wrong? Stomach ache again?

What's the matter?

There's no time, listen carefully

You're the only person I can trust now

I need you

To help me one last time

Give this tape to Ishikawa of o mo kai

This is his telephone number

I must have my revenge

o mo kai's

loss of their drugs years ago,

and the death of their head

are all Big Brother's idea

The details are recorded on the tape

I shall ask Big Brother in hell

Why he had treated me this way

Here's money, as soon as possible

leave Japan

If Big Brother can kill me

surely he will not spare you

Go! I don't want you to watch me die

I want you to remember me at my best

I don't like to see pretty girls cry

Are you having guests?

Come on!

"Father, mother, your daughter has to leave you"

"Mei-mei"

What's up?

Miss Yuriko, please

Yuriko, it's Ben

Where's Ming?

What's his phone number?

Mrs Ma is on a sight-seeing tour to Japan

I ask her to bring you a woolen sweater

The pattern and color are your favorite

And there's a bottle of tonic wine

It's good for your health

Look after yourself

Call me when you have time

What's it now?

Your mom?

Yes, she's such a bore

I miss my mother so

You can have her

Ming, please

Eat, or you won't have enough strength to cry

Can you smuggle a friend

back to the mainland?

Tell her to go to Sanya

and ask any Chinese

The money must be ready. It won't be cheap

Who's leaving? Could it be Chang Chih in trouble?

No, no

It's Tieh-lan

Some bastard got into trouble. She is involved

She'll die if she doesn't leave

Her passport has been detained by her sponsor

That's right

okay, what time?

Asano is not a bastard

He's a good man

He's a good man

and I'm a bastard, okay?

I won't go on

She'll cry again

Asano wants me to give this to someone

Your life is in danger,

and you talk about running errands

Eat

This morning,

police had report

of a man who dead

near a coffee shop

Bad luck again!

Let's ask

Are you Chinese?

Yes

The ship sails No.18 Pier at 6 am tomorrow

Be on time, we don't wait

So long

Thank you

Let's go

Damn, so many calls!

Who's it?

Yes, three men and a woman

How should I know?

Must be Chinese workers from Sanya

What do you want? Out!

Listen, brother, must I do what you say?

Go!

When can I deliver Asano's package?

Always asking when

Your life's in danger

Can't you see you can't possible do it now?

What are those two bastards up to?

What's taking them so long?

You think you're going on a sight-seeing tour?

Even promising to bring presents home for others

You won't even mind giving your mom away

You can't possibly understand our home-sickness

Where are you going?

Pissing, okay?

What's it?

What's the problem?

A man of Matsuda-gumi

What's it?

Have you seen a young girl?

No

I'm to blame!

I may ruin you

Shush!

Hide quickly!

Who's it?

Want a lady?

It's still early

Stop acting. One needs it any hour of the day

obasan, please, no!

Call me Miyako,

I haven't had anyone so young for a long time

No

I'll charge you less, just 2,000 yen

And you can do anything you like

Wait

Young bodies are so beautiful!

What good is youth?

I've never made good use of it

I can teach you

Just like me when I was young

Thank you, Miyako

Miyachan, what's wrong?

Are you having your period?

Her period? Ha ha! She's too old

Sleep more. You get sea-sick if you don't

You'll vomit like hell

But I've brought medicine

I've slept

I dreamt of walking

into a forest

There was no one inside, I was frightened

Suddenly a man appeared

I couldn't see him clearly

When I woke up, I saw you

It's a nightmare

Clothes for you. Try it on

They might not fit too well

You can contact people now

if you're to make the delivery

A girl called and said

Asano has asked

someone to give you a tape

With important messages

Asano? Go and get it for me

And then tell me about it

Mr Ishikawa is now busy

Should I meet you tonight?

You know osaki station?

I'm alone, but I don't know you

I'll bring some flowers for identification

White roses, okay?

Goodbye

You idiots!

You're always more stupid than Asano

We've just established relationship with Ishikawa

If he knew we were responsible

for their former head's death

we'd be finished

Don't worry, we'll get the tape back for sure

And that woman? Would Asano tell her everything?

What if Ishikawa's brother-in-law should appear too?

Idiot, do I always have to tell you what to do?

Excuse me, got any white roses?

Sorry, we haven't

Try to see if that shop has it

Thank you

Let's go

Got any white roses?

Not today?

Go now

over there

Wait

Mr Ishikawa?

Tieh-lan

Ishikawa's brother-in-law!

Go

Tieh-lan is dead!

Get in

Why did you kill her?

Why should I kill her?

I went there to collect a tape

I saved your life and you curse me?

Stop it! We don't even know if we could escape

Come!

Don't!

Watch out!

Your heart is too soft

for this wicked world

You must be tough like me

Well, you'll never learn

You're so sentimental, like that girl

You've just met her

And you will die for her!

Absolutely not using your head

o mo kai and Matsuda-gumi are now brothers

Although they have been mortal enemies

You've been such fools

I'm not leaving

Damn it! You're so sentimental and muddle-headed

Are you going to stay

to wait for death?

I'm worried about you

Let's go together or die together

Be realistic!

Why should I return to Hong Kong?

At worst I'm Ishikawa's brother-in-law here

I'll be oK. There are lots of chances

I am nobody if I return to Hong Kong

Go. You can eat your mom's food every day. Isn't that wonderful?

Take a good look. I'm Ishikawa's brother-in-law

Two days ago a woman jumped down a train platform

Police identified her as Meng Tieh-lan,

23, a native of Kiangsu, China

The cause of death is still under investigation

Meng Tieh-lan came to Japan last year

and studied in a Japanese Language School in Tokyo

Her classmates have arranged her funeral

Her remains will be cremated

Many classmates broke down in tears

The noodle is not bad

It's nice

Sorry, you came from China, don't you?

Yes

Have you seen this girl?

No

No

What, mamasan, in black today?

My husband is dead

So now I have a chance!

Damn you!
