[chatter]

[English] Banker wins.

- [laughs] - [clamouring]

[operator] This guy keeps on winning.

Wait a minute. Zoom in on his ring.

Yeah, it's him.

[bleeps]

NAME: KO CHUN NATIONALITY: AMERICAN

AGE: ABOUT 36 OTHER INFO: UNKNOWN

CRIMINAL RECORD: NONE

BANNED FROM FOLLOWING CASINOS:

MONTE CARLO, LAS VEGAS, MACAU, GENTING, MANILA, WALKERHILL, NICE, ATLANTIC CITY

[operator] Hey, what kind of picture is that?

He hates taking pictures.

[Cantonese] Mr Ko Chun.

I am the manager here.

You're very welcome here in our casino today.

However, our directors have just decided to cut your stake

from US $50,000 to $1,000.

[E] Cash.

Who's that guy?

[C] God of Gamblers.

On 3rd January, we came to Tokyo.

Today, Ko Chun's opponent is Kamiyama Koji of the Yamauchi yakuza gang.

He's the second-best punter in Japan.

Ko Chun said if he won,

we could have a holiday in Hong Kong and visit my friends.

I hope this time the plan won't change.

[chuckling]

Brother Chun, it's all ready now.

Hm.

[shouting]

For these two rounds,

it'll be a break-even if each competitor wins once.

[C] Tell him if it's break-even, consider me having lost.

[J] Mr Ko said to consider him as having lost if it's break-even.

The first game is mahjong.

Each of you will take 14 mahjong tiles,

and you will have to form a winning combination.

Everyone okay with that?

[C] Take 14 tiles each, and they have to form a winning combination.

And see who has the highest total value of those 14 character tiles.

For example, having four 90,000 tiles makes it 360,000.

Hm.

[scrambling continues]

[J] Start!

Time's up!

Mr Kamiyama scores 790,000!

- [crowd clamouring] - Mr Ko scores 800,000!

Mr Ko wins the first game.

The second game is dice.

Sir, I want my subordinate Reiko to replace me for this match.

Yes.

[gasping]

In this second-round match, the lowest score wins.

[cracking]

[rattling continues]

[crowd] Wow.

- Six points for Reiko. - [applause]

Mr Ko, don't underestimate your opponent through the remarks you made earlier.

[C] This pot is too light, ideal for women.

Can I have a heavier one?

Hm.

[shouts]

Excuse me, I used too much power.

[crowd gasps]

[J] Only five dice.

As expected of the God of Gamblers.

Five to six, you win again.

Please.

[both] Cheers.

[C] Mr Ko deserves to win this US $500,000.

'God of Gamblers', a world-famous name.

I actually knew I would have lost for certain today.

But I just didn't believe that you're so good.

Why gamble if you thought you'd lose?

Well, every gambler has an excuse.

I'm willing to spend US $1,000,000 in asking Mr Ko to do me a favour.

Say it.

Singapore's King of Gamblers, Chan Kam-Shing.

[chuckles]

You mean the one who's wanted by many countries

and has been hiding in international waters. That cheat?

Three years ago, my father was representing our gang

to try to win a casino in Osaka against another gang.

The other gang employed Chan Kam-Shing to gamble with my father.

Chan Kam-Shing won by cheating, and my father killed himself in shame.

I've been practising my gambling skills for the past three years.

I'm meeting Chan in two months to have a final game near Hong Kong.

I have no confidence in beating him in gambling.

But I'm prepared to avenge my father's death come what may.

- You can settle it yourself, really. - However...

my boss told me last month...

the two gangs had reconciled.

He ordered me not to kill Chan!

But I can't win by gambling to wipe my father's shame.

You want me to gamble with him, for you?

- Yes! - Brother Chun, think it over.

Chan is cunning.

If he knows that you're purposely going after him,

he won't let you off.

[grunting]

What's this for?

If Mr Ko doesn't agree to help me, I won't be able to take revenge.

I, Kamiyama Koji, would be ashamed to live on.

Whether you die or not isn't my concern.

But you should wait until I have a game with Chan.

So you'll help me?

I will not forget this massive favour from Mr Ko.

When the game's over, just buy me a nice box of chocolates.

Mr Lung!

Let me introduce you, this is Mr Ko Chun.

Mr Lung!

Mr Lung is my good friend, he doesn't gamble.

But he can help you to solve any problem except in gambling.

Nice to meet you.

Vietnamese?

Chinese!

You were a soldier?

Special forces of the Southern Vietnamese army,

captain of the 19th company.

Mr Lung will be your bodyguard until the date of the game.

I don't think it's necessary.

You can reach me on this number in Hong Kong.

- [brakes screech] - [yell]

Ah.

- [woman coughs] - Hm.

I'm warning you! If you don't fix the air con, I'll take the minibus.

Hey, the air con isn't good for you. I've gotta grab the money. Be right out!

Look how awesome your 'big bro' is.

And look at that schmuck, his luck's running out!

See the first one!

- [crowd sigh] - Big Bro, he's eight, and we're ten.

Ten, your arse!

Up yours!

Three sides...

Three sides...!

More!

More...!

For my dad's sake, more!

[gasps]

[laughs]

Up against it! Eight as well. It's a draw!

- Banker wins! - Oi...!

- Eight versus eight. It's a draw! - It's the rule here!

Why don't you just rob me?

It's my village, my den.

I set the rules. I mean what I say!

- If you don't shut up, you're out! - Fuck you!

Still eating chocolate? You'll get fat.

I'll get cancer if I smoke, and I'll get fat if I eat chocolate.

C'mon, let's finish it together!

- [chuckles] - [woman groans]

[clears throat]

Yee, go with Janet to Croc's villa. I have a game with him tonight.

Yes, Brother Chun.

You're gambling again?

I'm just having a look.

[man] Whoa.

Sunset is so romantic!

- Hey. - Hm?

- Have you seen enough? - Hm.

I have to study the races, right?

You better find a job.

When will you save enough money for marriage, living as a gambler?

[sighs]

Don't you know?

- Gambling can help raise a family. - Hm.

I may even get rich!

[humphs]

I'm talented!

How can I live down there in a small house?

Those guys are living up there in a villa.

Yeah.

Listen. One day, I'll be rich.

I'll buy all the villas up there, and those bastards will move down there.

What about me?

I'll buy you a big house then. Hm?

Let's live down there for now. Let's go!

Oi, I don't need you to carry me! [groans]

[groans]

- [shout] - [both] Whoa.

- Oi, this is a private path. - [dog growls]

What are you two doing here all the time? Trying to steal?

- I won't steal your curry! - Right!

So this is your path?

A rough path with broken railings. What, you wanna kill someone?

If anyone gets injured, it'll be you, son of a bitch.

- Call me a son of a bitch?! - Hey, don't!

- [man] Don't stop me...! - [woman] Don't...!

I'll let loose my dogs if I see you again, son of a bitch!

[both humph]

- You're the son of a bitch! - Yeah!

Hey, you okay?

[humphs] Let the dog bite and call me a son of a bitch?

Hey, remember.

That Indian guy leans on the railing all the time.

C'mon!

- Loosen the railings! - Okay.

Ah.

It's a dark night.

When the Indian guy steps on the trap and leans on the railing,

[makes tumbling noises]

He'll fall down right there!

Now, you pee in there!

Pee there?

Absolutely! He'll taste your piss as he falls!

- [laughs] - Big Bro, you're brilliant...!

- What're you waiting for? - Right.

I call your $300,000...

and raise you $1 million.

It's only two pair.

But I've no reason not to risk it.

Call your $1 million.

Seems like my card is more useful.

$2 million.

Croc, better give up when it's not going your way.

Croc, better go home early to your wife.

Goodnight, everybody!

Croc, why did you bring this 'good' friend?

We've said we'll play till dawn.

He's very sleepy, why not leave him alone?

- Yee, wake the driver up! - Hm.

Croc, are you leaving for real?

Yeah. Let's play tomorrow night.

Let him go, he can't afford to lose.

What? I can't afford to lose?

- Is this Brother Nam? - Only if you've any respect for me.

If you don't, then we've nothing to talk about.

As we're in a good mood tonight,

why don't I entertain you all?

Brother Chun?

Eh!

- Am I not allowed to join? - Welcome.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

Uncle, you must be tired after shuffling cards all night long.

Why not take a rest?

Miss!

Do you mind shuffling the cards for us?

- I don't know how. - Exactly what I like about you.

No one objects?

[grunts]

- [chuckles] - Shuffle the cards.

Shuffle them.

Ace to call.

Five, then!

Gee! The initial bet was already $1,000!

I meant $5 million.

You messing with us?

Ace.

If you fold, we can try another game.

[man sighs]

What's up? No one's playing?

Hey, it's only a two!

[chuckles]

Thank you very much, then!

Ah.

These two are yours.

These two are mine.

You can keep them.

Thanks!

This one is for the next game.

Shuffle the cards, miss!

[chuckles]

See?

Ace to call.

I'm learning from you.

$1 million.

Well?

[chuckles]

I call your $1 million,

and I'll raise...

$3 million!

Well, not going ahead?

Brother Nam, you want to play?

And this one?

Fold.

Well?

[chuckles] Thank you!

Shuffle the cards, please.

Your call.

I can call with a Queen?

Let's start with $3,000.

[chuckles] So lucky all evening!

Queen pair to call.

Queen pair, then... $2 million!

You got good cards in every game.

I call your $2 million...

and add what you've got on the table.

Hey, Brother Nam, are you the one that's messing?

If Brother Nam wants to play big, then I have no choice...

but to play along.

Beauty, draw the card.

[chuckles] How did that happen? The ten missed your pile!

[humphs] My hand's still good enough.

Some people can't be bluffed.

Brother Nam, I know you can't be bluffed.

But you can afford to lose.

Three Queens!

- You...! - Count the chips.

Eh!

Count ourselves lucky that we didn't lose tonight.

Brother Chun, let's play another day.

Thank you!

The fact that you won $10 million from him last time and I get nine back tonight

means it's still in your favour. Don't push too hard.

Goodnight, everyone!

Later.

Brother Nam, what now?

Call Scarface. Stop his car, kill him, and get the cheque back.

Right!

Keep the cheque.

Yee, you and Croc follow the road there and take a minibus.

- Why? - It won't be so simple.

- Be careful. - Alright. C'mon.

Give me the phone.

Let's go.

[brakes screech]

- Hello? - [man] Boss!

Scarface? What's up?

Boss, I couldn't stop them!

I told you to stop their car!

- I couldn't stop the car. - Why?

They took the train!

INTENSIVE SELF-DEFENCE SKILLS

[yelps]

[yells]

[pole clatters]

[gasps] [Vietnamese] Don't shoot me...!

What are you guys?

We're North Vietnamese, we came here to make a living.

Don't shoot me!

[yells]

[C] You're both Vietnamese, why don't you take it easy?

- He's from North Vietnam. - Oh.

I'll get off here. You fix this.

- [brakes screech] - [shouting]

[men] Go on...! Overtake...!

Still a head's length...! Quick...! Just a hair...!

Just a little bit!

Ha! Great, lost again!

Crow!

- Yeah? - You're useless!

- Did you piss on the grave? - No!

- Did you say sorry? - Yes!

Yes? You're useless! Why...?!

Big Bro, I'll get dumber if you keep hitting my head.

Saying I hit you? You do it!

I'll do it! You shithead!

Go on! Go and say sorry!

[E] Hey!

[C] My friend, you are handsome!

[Hindi] Hello.

- [C] What did you say? - You don't understand Hindi?

I was born in Hong Kong. Go away, or I won't be responsible for their bites.

[chuckles] Pal, go back to India and eat bananas.

[man] [E] Watch!

[dogs barking]

Watch...!

Watch!

Woo!

[man] Stay...!

[chuckles]

[yells]

Woo! [chuckles]

- [C] C'mon, give me the incense stick. - Hm.

- [dogs barking] - The Indian fell into the trap! Go!

Huh?

Big Bro, it's not the Indian.

- Go down and have a look! - Oh.

[both men giggle]

[woman] Hey, wait!

Hey, wait!

[man] Huh...?

- Big Bro, he's bleeding a lot. - Oh!

Yeah. Send him to the hospital.

Are you insane? We set the trap! Sending him to hospital will mean trouble.

Idiot! You set the trap, it wasn't my doing! It wasn't!

- Hey, how is he? - He's bleeding a lot.

- Send him to the hospital, quick! - [both] You insane? We both set the trap!

Back off!

Hey, you guys hold on to him. I'll get help.

- Nanny, open up! - [Nanny] I'm having a shower, wait!

- [knocking continues] - I can't carry any more! I can't!

Hold on for a bit more--

Too heavy for me.

Hey, Big Bro, there's so much money!

Give it to me.

- Will it do, Nanny? - Of course!

This is how I treated Knife when he was younger.

Now, half of the ash for external use, and drink the other half with water.

Guaranteed to work.

Let me mix it in the kitchen.

- [Knife] Jackpot. - Oi!

Ah! 50-50 for us.

- Hey, don't steal his money! - Oi...!

None of your business.

Ah, not even an ID card in here.

A lot of people in Hong Kong are without ID cards.

How can we inform his relatives without ID?

- I'll advertise it in the paper! - Don't touch his money! You're so bad.

[groans]

Hey, Big Bro, what do we do with him?

Just let him sleep here for the night. What else can we do?

- [woman] No...! - [Knife groans]

Just once!

[woman] No!

[Knife] Come on! Let me make a mark on your chest.

I need to wear low-cut shirts!

What?! Never! I'll burn the shop!

- Have one. - No!

- [Nanny screams] Help! - Nanny's in trouble. Go!

- You fucker, you touched my nanny? - Outrageous!

- Stop beating him! - Trying to fool me?

Seems like he's gone crazy from the head injury.

What's your name? Where do you live? Who's your gang leader? Huh?

Tell me! You gonna tell me or not?!

Damn it! Tell me!

You're fucking insane.

Who are you? Tell me now!

If you don't, I'll beat you up!

He really is insane.

You know he's not, he's fooling us. Beat him up, and he'll talk.

- [yells] - [Nanny] Oi, don't beat him...!

- [Knife] Damn you...! - Stop beating him!

- Damn you! - Oi, stop beating him...!

Outta the way! He deserves it.

- Enough. - [Knife] Fool us?

Right, don't be afraid. Tell me your name. Tell us.

Still not talking? Still pretending!

- Stop beating him...! Did you hear me? - [Knife] He deserves it!

Almighty God! I remember a film. A similar situation to his.

How?

The guy got pushed down the hill and hit his head. Looked like him now.

- Hey, he's got memory loss? - This isn't an old movie.

Memory loss doesn't happen that often. Why has my loan shark not lost his?

No, Knife, memory loss can be partial and temporary.

Oh! Clever. How do you know?

You forgot I studied nursing for a year?

If it weren't for you chasing me, I'd be a nurse now.

- Really? - Hm.

Oh! That's great! His money's mine now!

Oi! You wish!

[Knife] Hey!

Okay, I put your belongings into this bag.

Put it in your pocket. Don't let people take it.

Can you tell me where you live?

Let me tell your family. Tell me?

Where's my chocolate?

Is it this one?

Thanks!

- He's like a kid. - Like he's out of the mental hospital.

- How about we call him 'Mental'? - No, that sounds awful!

Then what?

How about 'Chocolate'?

- [Knife] If you like. - [woman] Hm.

[Chun] Try harder!

- Higher! - Hey!

Are you crazy? Asking my guy to scrub his back?

Shout at me? You don't like it?

- Then I'll do it! - No!

I don't want you to do it.

- Then shut up! - Sorry.

- Let's eat. - Let me have one first!

- Dinner? - Whoa! Such a big bowl!

- No more rice? - No, Chocolate had it all.

- Chocolate had it all? - Yeah.

- Then give this one to me. - It's mine.

Hey...!

Hey, no more rice?

- [Knife groans] No more... - What about me?

- He's got a big stomach. - Better send him away!

No! He's had so much food of ours, we gotta get some money from him first.

Finish it, don't waste it, c'mon.

- Ah! Watching TV? - Yes!

I have a cheque here. $20,000 in exchange for your money. Huh?

You get the advantage!

- So many zeros on the cheque. - Sure!

You have the cheque and give me the cash. Give it.

You give me it first!

I gave you a cheque, and you don't give the cash?

Give me it.

Why should I? Zan asked me not to give you money.

Give it to me.

Don't hit me! Zan protects me.

Whoa! Hey!

[inaudible]

[Chun snores]

[yells]

Don't hit me...!

- Big Bro, don't! - Took the cash, punk?

[Crow] No, I didn't take the money!

- [Knife] You're lying. - [Crow] Believe me!

He's got more than $10,000, and you've only $100?

- Look! I only have $100. - One hundred?!

- Still lying? Come back now! - [Crow] I'll come back! Stop hitting me!

[chuckles]

- Idiots! - [Knife] Come back!

[hums]

Whoa! He drives so fast.

Knife, don't go in with him, Big Mouth Dog will kill him.

Relax, he practised at home.

- Show her how to say it. - Three more biscuits!

No! Say raise $300,000!

Say raise $300,000!

C'mon! Let's go.

- What's going on? - [sighs] I'll tell you one more time.

When you see the horse race on TV, say, 'Shit, I forgot to bet on the tips!'

- Bet on the tips? - Then you take out a cheque

and ask Crow to bet on number seven of race three to win. Got it?

- Number seven of race three-- - Then 'It's Saturday. Banks are closed.'

- Then what do you say? - How would I know?

[sighs]

You say, 'Oh, shit! The jockey said sure-win!

Big Mouth Dog, some profit for you: cash my cheque with 10% commission.'

And then play cards with him. Got it?

It's complicated, I'm not sure if I can remember.

Of course you can!

[Zan] Knife!

Hey, I'm serious. Don't be so cruel to him.

It's okay. Big Mouth Dog won't beat an idiot like him.

I only want to take his gambling money.

The timing to call the cops has to be spot on, then he can be saved.

Don't worry, it'll be okay...!

Come, bet...! Be quick.

Ah! Brother Dog! [chuckles]

Oh! You dare come here? Where's my money?!

Sure...! I got a plan you can profit from.

Huh? Look!

[chuckles]

- That's my cousin from the States. - That's nothing to do with me!

He has a lot of money! He's an idiot.

He wants to get a wife in China. How about we steal money from him?

We'll split it 50-50, take it away from him!

Thirty-70, minus the old debt as well.

I'll let you decide. C'mon!

Brother Dog, my cousin!

- What's your name? - Chocolate!

Ah! He's pretty funny. His name's Chu.

You decide. Baccarat, dice or Fan-Tan, anything!

I like cards.

Cards?

Hm.

Brother Dog.

Can you get me this chocolate?

- Sure! - Cow, buy him some chocolate!

Thanks!

- Keep the change. - Thanks!

Has to be the same brand, the expensive one!

- There are no card games, let's go! - [Knife] There are!

There are. There are games to play.

- Hey, this is the last game! - Last game!

$1,000 each, okay?

Okay.

How come there's no TV here?

Not working.

Not working?

- What should we do without the TV? - What's the TV to do with card games?

Why watch TV whilst playing cards?

Horse racing!

Oh, shit! I forgot to bet on my tips.

- If you give me the money, I'll place it. - The jockey said sure-win.

- Oh, really? - He told me to bet on...

Hey, which one?

Number seven of race three, win and place.

- Whoa! $20,000 in total? - He said sure-win.

Giving me a cheque? Banks are closed on Saturday afternoons!

- Oh, yeah! - What can we do?

- This is trouble. - Ah!

Some profit for you! Cash my cheque with 10% commission.

No sweat, let me sort it for you.

Ah, no...! Just give him cash, okay?

- Shut up! What's it to you?! - No. seven of race three, win and place.

I can use the phone to place your bet! [chuckles]

[dials phone]

Hello? 1237689, code 45699.

$20,000. Number seven of race three, win and place. Thanks...!

Hm! [sniggers]

$5,000!

- Raise! - Oi, 'raise' your arse.

- Brother, I'm off to the toilet. - Someone go with him!

That's not necessary.

So sit there and finish this game first! Leave then!

You wanna raise?

Call!

[both] Hey, let me see!

I'm playing the cards. Calm down, the both of you.

- [yells] - What?

Both are the same! Shh.

Hm.

$10,000!

- I call and raise $300,000! - Oi!

- Are you mad? No...! - Hey!

Ah!

What's it to you?!

- That's what you said? $300,000? - Yes!

Call. Draw the card!

Damn.

See?

Another pair. All your money there.

Hey, how much?

Each has $500,000 worth of chips. You've less than $200,000 left.

- Call! - Oi, are you mad?

[Big Mouth] Hey!

Shut up! Or I'll burn your hand!

Card!

- Ma'am, the phone's not working? - It's been out of order for a few days.

Nine...!

- Tiger! Nine...! - Nine...!

What are you shouting for?

Nine...

Ha! As you've no money, I'll let you see the whole lot.

Two pair of nine and three? Let me see them.

Two pair, nines and threes, right?

[laughs]

See that!

- Huh? - Set of threes...!

I have a set of threes!

Set of threes...!

Jackpot!

Damn you, kid! Trick me with a cheat?

Brother, don't be like that, be a good loser.

The cards are yours. Also, the dealer's your guy.

Hey, when are you paying us the rest of the $500,000?

We weren't gambling with HK currency, we use Taiwanese!

Taiwanese?

Right, $150,000 Taiwanese dollars.

$150,000 it is!

[grunts]

Right, here's your cheque!

Why are you shining the light on me? I still owe you $130,000!

Minus your cousin's interest of $40,000, I still owe you $80,000!

We'll gamble once more! Draw a random card and see who wins!

Eh!

'Eh' what? 'Eh', your arse!

I'm drawing first!

Ace of Hearts. Your turn!

- Well? - Draw!

Draw.

[both] What is it?

Let me see!

Oh!

- What? - So lucky, just a little bit larger!

Two of Spades! Won it all!

Now you're dead! Give me the money...!

We're dead.

Is the two of Spades not the biggest?

- Don't touch my head! - Are you mad?

He's bullying me!

Who told you to draw...?

More than $100,000 there being drawn away by you!

- Are you mad? - Stop pushing! It hurts my neck!

Stop that!

Hey, be honest with me. How did it change to three?

Master said to change it to three, so it did.

The phone was broken, and there wasn't one close by.

- Ugh, forget it... Let's go! - [Big Mouth Dog] Stop!

- Oi! - Hey! We didn't win, why can't we go?

Get lost! None of your business!

Outta the way!

Well done. You won the race.

- What? - Number seven of race three won.

Each way was $92,000, but I'll take a $32,000 service charge.

This $60,000 is yours!

- Give it back to me! - Jackpot!

- Alright. - I'm rich!

I, Big Mouth Dog, don't eat my words, right?

I know...!

[laughs]

- Thanks! - Let's have an equal share! Hey!

Try it again!

Hey, how do you do it?

Tell me.

Try again!

Show me.

Reveal it.

- Hey, how come? - Hey!

[giggles] I win again!

[giggling]

[Zan yells] I'm scared!

[laughs]

Great!

- What? - We won't struggle now. We're rich!

- Rich? - Sure!

- Rich how? - We've found a gambling genius.

We will be rich, right?! [laughs]

Right! We'll take him to raid the gambling dens tomorrow!

- Okay? - Right...!

Softer!

[dialogue inaudible]

[phone rings]

Hello?

Mum.

Hm, not yet, give me some time.

I know.

Tomorrow?

I'm not sure, he's busy!

Hello?

[Chun groans with increasing pitch]

- Fire! - Hey, where's your big bro?

Big Bro's looking for a new location. He's not coming back tonight.

- Target! - Punk.

What do you want him for?

Stop that!

What?

My parents want to meet Knife tomorrow for yum cha.

We can't hide any more.

Too bad Big Bro doesn't have the pager.

Chocolate, can you do me a favour?

If I can't... then I'll be sorry.

- Do you remember what you need to say? - I do!

Stop eating!

Okay, let me ask you. What do you do?

Er, I do...

- Plastic... - Plastic... plastic moulding!

Moulding plastic...!

Then when are we getting married?

Uh, I'm still working on my career.

Waiting till I've succeeded.

- Do you want a bun? - No. You eat it.

Okay. I gave you Crow's pager. What if it beeps?

Oh!

'My boss's paging me!

I'll come and visit you both on New Year's day!'

Behave when my parents arrive.

- I will! Where's my chocolate? - I'll buy ten boxes for you later.

[woman] Zan!

Mum, Dad.

- Knife! - Uncle, Auntie.

He likes to play.

- [chuckles] - Ugh!

Quite good-looking!

Knife, where do you work?

Work?

[both] Roast pork buns!

Roast pork buns are nice here!

Where do you work?

[stutters] Work--

What do you do?

Plastic moulding!

Cleaner!

No, no, cleaning the streets.

Cleaning business. Not bad! Huh?

Aren't I clever?

Kids nowadays aren't willing to do such jobs.

Let's be frank.

You've been together for a long time. We're very open-minded.

It's just we want the relatives to know this's in the bag.

It is! I've got plenty of plastic bags at home in every colour!

I can put a plastic bag over my head!

Daddy, it's better to be useful than useless.

At least there's no trouble.

So when will you get married?

Soon...!

But I'm still working on my career.

We'll get married when I get a promotion.

- Hm. - A cleaner can get promoted?

Daddy, don't lose your cool. Speak calmly.

Lose what cool? Unless he's being promoted to toilet manager?

Do you want buns?

[bleeping]

Ah! My boss's paging me.

You two carry on. I have to go.

Return the call, go!

I wanna--

- Return the call! - What do you want?

I'll see you in the cemetery on New Year's day!

- I remembered it...! - [sighs]

- What did you say?! - Dad!

- Stop! - Punk!

- He's Uncle. - What uncle?

Knife, he's my dad!

Huh?

- Nice to meet you. - Who are you?!

Her boyfriend.

And him?

Me?

I'm her stand-in boyfriend when he's not here.

Ugh! Why are you so messed up?

- No, Mum! I-- He's-- - [clears throat]

No! One's a cleaner, and the other's a gangster who threatened me.

There could be a third one to chop me up into 18 pieces! Let's go!

[E] Bye-bye!

- [C] Bye! - Let's have tea. We don't want any.

- Rice rolls! - No!

You don't want any, right? I do!

Why put this white thing on my head?

Why borrow from the loan shark?

[sighs] We had spent all the money. No money for gambling.

Hey, don't worry, we'll win. Come on!

I'm not going, I'm having ice cream with Chocolate! C'mon!

- Let's go up. - C'mon.

Sure Win Finance Company.

Knife, your credit's bad. How can I lend you money?

Brother Shing.

Things are different now. I, Knife, am punching above my weight.

If I weren't sure, I wouldn't be borrowing money from you, right?

Damn it!

I'm to simply trust you and lend $80,000?!

Fuck! You keep saying you'll be rich. How can I trust you?

That's classified, right?

You keep your secret!

Brother Shing, don't be like that. So you don't trust me?

Look.

Look at my bling.

We don't wanna win just a small amount, that's why we're borrowing from you.

So you mean you're winning for sure?

Not for sure, but we stand a chance.

My father taught me to be humble.

Even if I'm sure to win, I say I got a chance, right?

Good, I like to help young people.

Kwong, $72,000 for him.

What? $72,000? It's $80,000!

Are you a rookie? There's interest on that $72,000, right?

Don't do that! It's disgusting!

- Hey...! - How'd it go, Knife?

Good, obviously! Right, go home and ask Nanny to make soup first!

- I'll go get paid. Go on! - You're always like this.

- I've finished my chocolate. - Wait till after the game.

I want chocolate.

Crow, go and buy some, then join me at the den, got it?

Hey...! Buy my favourite brand of chocolate.

- Sure! - Get back quickly!

Excuse me...!

Hey, Knife! I'm off.

Why do you look so sad? Has your dad died?

I want chocolate.

[chuckles] Won't be long. Play some games first.

What's up?

Don't upset me, I'll beat you!

C'mon!

- Hey! The Retarded Knight of Gamblers! - Sit down.

The Retarded Knight of Gamblers!

You decide.

Let me see. Three banks and one player. That's looking pretty good.

Hey, make a good bet.

- I want to eat chocolate. - What?

- I want to eat chocolate. - Shut up, or I'll beat you!

Bet! Follow his bet, and you won't lose!

- Looking for your big bro? - Yeah!

Come in.

- What about this game? - The chocolate's here...!

Ah! Thanks very much, Crow!

Hey, what about this game?

- Banker or not? - Yeah.

Not my favourite chocolate!

- Hey, didn't you get his favourite? - I couldn't buy it, it's sold out!

Ah! Hey...! It's a good game. Hey, place the bet first.

I want my favourite!

Fine...! Place the bet first.

Right! Hands clear!

Eight. Banker wins!

Fucking bastard! Don't you know we could've won more than $70,000?!

Go and get it...!

- Bet another one. - [grunts]

Never mind, don't bet. Wait till Crow comes back, then.

I wanna go for a piss. You stay here, got it?

Be good, huh?

[banker] Bets in...! Decide your bets!

Bets in...!

Decide your bets...!

[zip]

[groans]

[giggles]

[coughs]

Hey, who gave you so many cigarettes?

- It was the banker who gave me them! - Oh, thank you!

Hey, any good news?

- I bet them all. - Good man! Where's the money?

It's all over there!

- [Knife] Huh? - He's lost all the money.

- Want a smoke? - [humphs]

What did I tell you?

I told you not to run around, not to bet at will!

I did that. Why did you hit me?

Damn you!

[car beeps]

- Where are you taking me? - Come with me!

- Wait for me here! - Where are you going?

- I need a piss. - So much piss?

None of your business! Wait here for me!

- Come back quickly! - Right!

[car beeps]

Thank-- Thank you!

[woman] You brat!

You brat! I told you to hold something, and you dropped them all on the floor!

Useless! Stop crying! Shut up!

[boy cries]

- I'll hit you! Useless! I'm telling you! - [boy] No!

Shut up! Go away...!

A small task, and you dropped them all!

Shut up, or I'll smack you!

You done scolding?!

Chocolate!

Chocolate...!

Chocolate!

Chocolate!

Chocolate!

DYING, POOR

[E] Hi!

[giggles]

Hm! [chuckles]

- [C] Where did you go? - To buy a Mickey Mouse balloon.

- I told you to stay. I'll smack you! - Don't hit me!

Come here.

Come here!

Told you to stay, but you didn't listen. I've been looking for you everywhere!

You shouldn't go off to piss. I got scared after you left.

Chocolate, I promise not to leave you alone.

- I know you won't! - That hurt!

Idiot! A balloon for you.

- You look so silly! - You're silly!

[both laugh]

[Chun breathes in sharply]

[yelps] Take it easy, doc.

[yells]

- I think he's lost part of his memory. - Memory loss?

His skull had taken a heavy blow. The blood clot is impacting his nerve.

Therefore, he's lost part of his memory.

He's behaving like a ten-year-old child.

- Can he recover? - I can't guarantee 100%.

But if I remove his blood clot surgically, he'll become more normal.

- Want it? - Are you a relative?

Oh, I'm his cousin.

The operation is expensive and complicated.

- I estimate it will cost $200,000. - This is expensive.

Where do we get the money?

I've thought about it. We sell everything. The car.

Even the farm yard at the back.

What about our debts to Shing?

What can we do? We pay him later.

What if they come to our home?

We can't wait until then! We'll move to Kowloon tomorrow.

A friend of mine has a villa.

- [Zan] Villa? - AROUSING VILLA

- [woman #1 yells pleasurably] - Hm?

[imitates her]

[woman #2 yells pleasurably]

[imitates her]

Insane!

[imitates her yells]

'Ah' what? Let's move.

Sister, the rooms here are all the same.

- Ah. - Whoa! A round bed!

Wow! Jackpot! Can sleep in all directions!

- [laughs] - [Knife] Hey, stop playing!

Hey, have a rest. I'll go and get some food and beer.

- Sorry to disturb you and your business. - That's alright!

It's no harm for those men to have less sex.

- I'm off. - [chuckles]

Great! Let me set up my master properly.

Hey, Knife, what's with this chocolate? It's the wrong one!

- It's a balloon! - A balloon?

[woman shrieks]

- [imitates woman] - Oi! Shh!

- Keep it down. - Why can she scream, and I can't?

It's the rule here. Men can't scream, or they get 'cut off'!

- Cut off? - [Knife] Hm!

Shh. [E] Sorry.

Sorry. [C] I don't know what I'd do without it...!

[chuckles] Here, put it away!

[man and woman shriek]

[shrieking stops]

Hm? What's up?

Shh.

Can you not shout so loud?

Hm? Not a room inspection?

It's the rule here. Men can't scream, only women can.

Or they'll cut it off!

- You're insane! - Call me insane? I'll cut yours off!

- What are you doing?! Help! - [snips scissors]

Don't mess around! This dick's all I have!

Are you stupid? Hey! Help!

- [Knife] Ugh! Come out! - I'll cut it off!

- I'll cut it off! - Sorry! What are you doing...?!

- He was screaming! - What's it to you?!

Can't you calm down a bit?

You told me men can't scream.

Hey!

[Chun grunts]

[chuckles] Here, have some chocolate!

[Chun] Don't want it!

Hey, two pieces!

[Chun] Don't want it.

Three pieces!

Huh? Hm?

C'mon!

Say sorry first.

Say it!

[E] Sorry.

- Hm. - [yelps]

[C] Cut yours off! [laughs]

Damn kid!

SPECIAL EDITION GEEK COMIC

You're next.

Oh.

- Hey, I have to go to the toilet. - Come back quick.

[groans] Damn it! I shouldn't have gone.

The girl was teasing, and now I'm screwed.

She should have come clean about the STD.

Knife!

Ah.

[giggles] Brother, having a piss? I'll leave you alone!

Fighting back?

- What's up, Boss? - 'What's up'?!

Both of you, after him!

I'll get backup!

Hold it, punk!

Don't mess about!

You can't escape! If you wanna get away, jump!

[laughs] You got a cross on your face!

[man] Damn you!

- Hold it! - I'm telling you, don't come up!

You can't get away!

Huh?

Scared shitless.

Kill him...!

- Throw it at him! - [man] Damn you!

Go and catch him!

[men] Jump over!

[laughs]

You fool!

- [man] Fucker! Trick me?! - [makes monkey noises]

Jump! Catch him!

[yells]

[sings]

- What are you looking at? - C'mon...!

[continues singing]

Kamen Rider!

- Jump over! - Down there!

- Don't let him escape! - Catch him!

Jump over!

- Over there! - Stop!

- I'll fix you when I catch you! - Damn you!

- Punk! - Mess with us?!

You're dead when I get you!

[yells]

Surround him!

[shouting]

- Get him! - [makes monkey noises]

- [man] Stop! - Oh!

[man] Over there!

- You've nowhere to go! - Hey, c'mon!

Come and catch me!

Still trying to run? Move over there!

You can't get away!

- Fucker! - Hey, come here...!

- [man] Damn punk! - Come and get me...!

Hey! I'm waiting here for you to get me, so why don't you? Huh?

[man] You damn fucker! See how I'll fix you!

- Whoa! - [man] Quick, climb out there!

He'll fall to his death.

Hit him! Fucker!

Hey! Whoa!

He'll fall to his death.

- [whimpers] Brother...! - Damn punk!

- What?! - How about letting me up?

[chuckles]

- Damn you! - Kill him!

[chuckles]

Looking for me?

Bastard, here at last!

Where are we going?

[laughs]

- Hey! Well? - Done.

You've been to every strip club, and you're in this one now.

How can you start working at all of them tomorrow?

Not bothering with that now. Gotta save Knife first. C'mon!

[groans]

No more chocolate?

[mutters indistinctly]

[phone rings]

Hello?

Hello?

- Hello? - [Lung] Ko Chun?

Hello? Is that Ko Chun?

- Who the hell are you looking for? - Ko Chun.

Hello?

[groans]

Don't play with the phone.

[turns dial]

- [Shing] Hello? - Hello? Brother Shing, please.

- Speaking. Who's that? - I'm Knife's girlfriend.

So you finally called! Knife could've avoided suffering if you'd called earlier!

Brother Shing, please release him first. I'll pay you half tonight!

Half?! Don't pay me half! It's $210,000, including the interest!

- $210,000? Brother Shing-- - [Shing grunts]

He'll lose his hand if I don't see the money tomorrow. Later!

Brother Shing...?

How was it...?

He said it has to be $210,000. Where can I get an extra $130,000?

What about Chocolate's medical expenses?

More than half's been paid. The surgery's taking place tomorrow.

We've paid the deposit, and I don't know where the rest of the money is.

So what shall we do?

I don't know what to do.

Only if the God of Gamblers could save us.

[Shing] Come in!

Boss, Knife's girlfriend is here!

Brother Shing.

Not bad-looking.

Why stick with Knife? You should join me!

I have $80,000 here for you. I hope you'll let Knife go.

[laughs]

That's not even enough for the interest!

I hope you'll be more respectful.

[laughs]

Girlie, how many days have you lived?

Me, more respectful to you?!

[laughs]

Not to me, but to the God of Gamblers!

God of Gamblers?

We're all here to make money.

You respect me, I respect you even more.

Let Knife go, and we can all be friends, yeah?

Boss, could he really be the God of Gamblers?

[laughs]

If he's the God of Gamblers, then I'm the Pope!

Girlie, don't mess with me! Brother Shing don't mess around.

[laughs]

Brave!

You're really the God of Gamblers?

Yes, I am the God of Gamblers. I raise you $1 million!

[laughs]

You're something else! 'God of Gamblers'!

How will you prove you're the God of Gamblers?

[laughs]

I-- I am the God of Gamblers!

[both laugh]

- Shuffle the cards! - What for?

Have the God of Gamblers give me Ace to King in sequence.

- Let me do it. - What's it to you?!

You show me!

[gasps]

Hey.

Eat it.

God of Gamblers, you deal me a hand like this?

A pure dragon?!

That's mine, this is yours.

Hm?

Hey, how did you do that?

I don't know. You still owe me seven chocolates!

Brother Shing, here's $80,000. Count it.

[chuckles]

Did I say yes?

Oi! Let Knife go...!

You're the God of Gamblers?!

I don't believe it.

I'm the God of Gamblers...!

Hold it!

[Shing yells]

Bastard!

Keep away...! Bastard!

Release Knife!

Knife's not here!

- Not here? - He's here!

Bastard! Bring Knife out!

Oh!

- [men] Move! - Hold it!

- Knife! - Big Bro!

- Are you alright, Knife? - I'm fine!

- Brother Knife! - You bastard.

- Brother Knife! - Tell me, is this unfair?

I'm the bastard...!

Is it fair or not?!

Brother Knife, you're pointing it at me, how can I say it's unfair?

That's smart.

- Tell them to crawl over there! - Crawl over!

- Quick! - Crawl!

Shut up!

Crawl over!

- Can you please leave? - Stand up!

I need to call the ambulance!

Stand up!

- Go out! - Be careful! Watch out, Brother Knife.

Brother Knife, where are you taking me? Be careful with that knife. Brother Knife.

- Careful. - Hey, let's go!

Please, Brother Knife.

- [stab] - [Knife] Bastard! Fuck you!

Bastard...!

Boss! You okay?!

- Damn it! Go and call an ambulance! - Call an ambulance!

[thunder]

It's now been 11 days.

There's still no news of Chun.

If he doesn't return tomorrow, I'll call the police.

Honestly, I have reservations about Yee's loyalty.

He's been acting kind of funny lately.

What are you doing?

Having a drink.

[Yee chuckles]

I'm sleepy. Come back later.

[exhales]

I don't want you to be bored. I just want to keep you company.

What are you doing? Get the hell out!

What's with the attitude?

Brother Chun hasn't been around. Don't you want it?

Get the hell out!

Or I'll tell Chun!

'Chun'...

What's special about Ko Chun?! How about Ko Yee? Am I not just as smart?!

How can Ko Chun be the God of Gamblers, whereas I'm nothing for my entire life?

Let go of me!

Listen to me! I'll love you more than Chun would!

If you promise me, I swear I won't be like Chun,

who prioritises cards over his girlfriend!

- I'll take care of you! - [yells]

You repay Brother Chun by doing this?

I've had enough of Ko Chun!

No one knows me, Ko Yee.

Everyone only knows that I'm just a follower of Ko Chun.

If Ko Chun can love you, why can't I love you too?

Until the day he dies, I'll never make it to the top!

No wonder you forbid me from calling the police.

He drove me to that. Won a lot of money, and yet he won't share any with me.

If he's not dead already, I'll have it happen!

Otherwise, I can never have you or his US $15 million in the Swiss Bank.

[yells]

[yells]

[groans]

[chuckles]

Record me?

Now who'll know I did it?

You bitch! You'd rather die than offer yourself to me!

You can never stop me. I want you, even if you're dead!

I've checked you out.

You're Singapore's King of Gamblers Chan Kam-Shing's partner in Hong Kong.

If we join forces and eliminate Ko Chun together,

I doubt this won't interest you?

Ko Chun really is a fool to have trusted a son of a bitch like you.

Eh!

That's because I'm smart! You think it's easy to be a successful one?

Ko Chun is already missing.

Until we see Ko Chun's corpse, neither you nor I will be content.

Right, I'll put US $2 million into your account now.

I'll put in the money, you put in the effort.

With Ko Chun dead, you'll be happy, I'll have eliminated a rival,

and Mr Chan will have one less enemy.

A happy outcome for all three parties, Brother Nam.

I can give you men, but how do we find Ko Chun?

I heard that he's been to Mongkok with a cheat called Knife.

Send someone to look for him!

Boss Nam, they're up there.

[Crow yelps]

I'm Knife, and you are?

- My hand! - Ko Chun!

Don't lie to me. You're not Ko Chun!

- My hand! - Are you okay?

There's been no news of you these past few days.

[yelling]

Oi! Seriously, who are you?

I'm Lung Ng, a friend of Ko Chun.

Who's Ko Chun, then?

He's Ko Chun?

He's the God of Gamblers?

Nothing to do with me...!

Nothing to do with me...!

[yells]

Hey! Who are these people?

The enemy!

Obviously I know that!

Then why did you ask?

- A back door? - One there leads to the mall.

Give me a gun to try.

- You know how to use one? - I do.

- [chuckles] - [yells]

- You said you knew? - I only know how to hold it.

The recoil's very strong. Hold it with both hands.

Hey! Be careful!

[chuckles]

I've got this.

I don't need help.

[yelps]

[yells]

Master!

Master...!

What happened? I'm okay.

- Knife, you alright? - Let's go...!

[click]

- Where's Ko Chun? - Over there with Knife.

- Hide first! - Oh!

[yelling]

[yells]

Hold it!

[gunfire]

Master, let me handle it!

Master, let's go!

Master, come here!

Hold it!

[yells]

Master, relax! I can manage!

Master? Where's Master?

[Chun yells]

- Don't shoot! - Brother Chun!

Don't come over!

Haven't seen you for ages. Where have you been?

I don't know you, stay away!

Brother Chun, don't mess around.

I'm here to save you, let's go back.

There are a lot of guys here with guns.

Brother Chun, are you alright?

I'm scared!

It's Yee, don't you recognise me?

There are so many guys with guns! I'm scared!

Ko Chun, I don't care if you're insane for real or not.

You're a dead man now!

Huh?!

Master, leave now!

Hey!

[click]

Ko Chun!

Pick up the gun!

[yells]

[groans]

[yells]

[clicking]

Come out...!

Come out!

[yells]

Be careful!

[yells]

[shrieks]

Ko Chun!

[running footsteps]

[man] He's bleeding.

Hey...! Move aside. What's the matter? What's wrong?

Are you alright?

Do you need an ambulance? Hey!

Stop!

[yells]

[brakes screech]

[brakes of cars screech]

[running footsteps]

[reporters] How many casualties were there in the mall shootout?

- Were there Vietnamese? - Was God of Gamblers part of a gang war?

No comment!

- [E] Can you give us any information? - [C] No comment. Sorry!

No comment...! Sorry.

- Is Ko Chun upstairs the God of Gamblers? - I'm not sure.

[E] Can you tell us, how is this guy? Is he going to the recovery room?

[officer] No comment.

Any comment on the situation at this time, officer?

[C] Sorry, no comment!

[yells]

Brother Chun...! It's Yee!

Do you recognise me? It's Yee!

It's Yee.

Yee?

It's so good that you're alright.

I thought I'd never see you again.

Yee.

What's happened?

You don't know?

I only remember that night after I got off the train.

I was walking along a path.

I suddenly fell down a hill.

And I can't remember anything after.

How did I get here?

We called the police.

You were knocked down by a car, and the police notified me.

Where's Janet?

Where is she? Is she alright?

Brother Chun, I'm sorry.

Yee, tell me what happened.

Tell me.

I was looking for you everywhere after you'd been missing for ten days.

And Janet was all alone at Croc's villa.

One day, when I went back there, the glass on the balcony was broken.

There was blood on the floor.

But Janet has gone missing.

How did things get like this?

Brother Chun, smack me!

Brother Chun, I'm useless!

I couldn't protect sister-in-law. Smack me!

Brother Chun, smack me!

Whoa.

Excuse me...!

Hey, Big Bro, so many people here. Are they gonna fight?

What fight? They're the press!

Hey...!

No way!

Why not? Go!

- Move! - Right!

[chatter]

Sexual harassment!

Sexual harassment! I'm being sexually harassed!

Sexual harassment!

- Brother Chun, where are you going? - Let me check out, I have to find Janet!

Brother Chun, calm down! Where can you go?

Chocolate!

You fucker!

Stop fighting!

You... turned against me!

Yee!

Who's he?

Who am I?

Fed, clothed, sheltered, and played with over a month. You say you don't know me?

What are you on about?

- What am I on about? - Ignore him, he's insane!

- I'm insane?! - He's insane. Officer, get him out!

Let me go! Don't trust him! He's cunning!

Don't trust him! Let me go!

Brother Chun, I'll sort this.

Let the police deal with him.

Make some calls for me. Send my guys out to look for Janet.

Yes.

Oi, so what if you're cops?

I'm a taxpayer too!

Same as your father!

Hey, Big Bro, you've never paid tax.

Are you joking with me? Who has the time? Are you good at telling them?

Do you know what's going on?

He helped others bully me!

He said he didn't know me and tried to have me arrested!

- Are you crying, Big Bro? - Who said I was crying?

Which eye of yours saw that? I've got sand in my eye!

- Hey, so what now? - Don't ask me! What now?

Don't be so patronising!

I'll be back for sure! I'll tell ya, we'll see who the fucker is then!

- Hey! Be careful, Big Bro! - Leave me alone! I'm not the fucker!

This proves that he's the fucker! Move!

What do you think of this one?

Not this one, another one?

[Janet] Still eating chocolate? You'll get fat!

[phone rings]

- Hello? - [man] Chun?

- Yes. - So good to have you back.

I rang as soon as I heard that you were back.

I've something important to discuss with you.

What's that?

You son of a bitch, you still dare to come here?!

Brother Nam, listen to me first. I really do have a way to get money.

What about the US $2 million?

I'll pay you that after you've dealt with Ko Chun.

You've had plenty of chances every day. Why would you need my help?

[sighs] I don't want him dead now.

Mess with me?

[man] Nam!

- Don't fight. - Mr Chan.

Why don't you want Ko Chun dead?

Mr Chan, you're really something else.

You understand my motives.

The bet between you and Ko Chun is being monitored closely

by all the punters in South East Asia.

The odds are three to one in Ko Chun's favour.

Ugh. Cut the bullshit!

If I can make Ko Chun lose to you,

- isn't that a way to make money? - What's your plan to ensure I win?

Stop.

[chuckles]

I thought the God of Gamblers was calm and perfect.

[chuckles]

He's still too inexperienced.

Mr Chan, we've watched all of Ko Chun's tapes;

we can't find anything wrong.

I've watched 500 of his card games.

I noticed... that he has one very lousy pattern.

He may not even know this himself.

Had Yee not told me his last card of each game,

- I wouldn't have noticed. - What is it?

[chuckles]

Every time he's bluffing, he unconsciously touches his jade ring.

Mr Chan, I'm finished.

Here is an Ace, King, Queen, and Jack.

What can you see now?

Nothing.

No nail marks, no shadows, no hidden signs.

Here. Look at them with my glasses.

The signs: Ace has a dot; King, two dots; Queen, three dots; Jack, a line.

This chemical solution is only revealed via a special pair of LCD glasses.

The glass contains cyanide, so it can only be made in the States.

I've already ordered a pair.

They look the same as normal glasses. The price is US $10,000.

But it won't work.

At such an event, there'll be someone there to inspect the cards.

If they have the same LCD glasses, they'll find out!

That's right. At such an event, both parties will inspect the cards.

Mr Chan, who'll be inspecting for you?

Me!

Yeah! And Ko Chun will surely ask me to do it.

If both of us stay quiet, who will know that the cards have been tampered with?

God of Gamblers? You think he's a real god? [laughs]

[laughing]

Ah! Uncle Hing!

- I'm sorry! - Chun, you're late!

- Yes. - [E] Okay. [C] Let's go!

Come and have a drink. It'll take a while.

Sorry, I only drink with my friends.

What?!

- See you later. - Hm.

Uncle Hing, I want go to the toilet.

- Show him where. - If you please.

If you please.

Oi! What do you want?

I promised not to leave you alone! I'll only say this once:

I witnessed your cousin's attempt to kill you in the car park.

Yee, he said you wanted to kill me. Is that true?

Me? [laughs]

Whatever you want to tell me, wait until the game's finished.

I'll give you the time.

Yee, bring him in.

But I hope you won't disturb me during the game.

The mutual inspection of cards.

The inspection is completed. We can start.

[Chan] Ace.

$20,000.

$50,000.

Mr Chan, why so conservative?

It's better to be careful!

I want to keep some savings to celebrate my 70th birthday next year.

[chuckles]

Pair of sevens calls the shots.

$2 million.

A reasonable amount.

There are nine cards out there for me to get a flush.

Call $2 million.

How lucky!

What would I have done if they went the other way?

It's already $2 million after the fourth card.

The fifth card shouldn't be less than $5 million, right?

- Whoa! - $5 million!

Flush.

$5 million?

[chuckles]

[Chan] Trying to trick me with two Kings?

There's no way I'd be intimidated when I have two pair, Queens, and sevens.

Call $5 million. Show me your card.

[chuckles]

- Mas-- - [grunts]

You seem able to read my cards.

[chuckles] Young man, you're still inexperienced.

[Lung] Freeze, everyone!

Brother Chun, this is our last case of money.

[chuckles]

[humphs]

Ace calls the shots!

$200,000.

Call.

[banker] Ace pair to call.

I've got an Ace pair. $2 million.

Call.

My turn again?

Looks like I can recover my losses from the last game.

$4 million.

Doesn't look like you have that much cash in your case.

I have a Swiss bank draft here.

It's worth US $30 million.

That's according to you!

[grunts]

Why don't you ask a financial expert to have a look?

Mr Ko, there's no reason to use your own money!

Eh!

Today's not just about you.

Mr Chan, will you have someone check this bank draft?

Your 'God of Gamblers' title alone would be worth more than US $30 million.

I believe you. $4 million, call!

I seem lucky today!

You're not the only one.

Brother Chun, we can get everything back!

See the last cards first.

So it's a King!

What rivalry!

Three Aces vs three Queens.

It's been many years since I've come across these two rivals.

Let's not waste time. Bet the whole $26 million.

$26 million?

Ko Chun, you're ruthless.

Young man, you're still inexperienced. Too anxious.

Fine, call $26 million.

I have four Queens. Show me your card!

[exhales]

Good Lord! Your title of King of Gamblers is well-deserved.

[tuts]

He managed to get four Queens.

You're out of luck!

- [guests] Whoa! - [man] [E] Jesus! I can't believe it.

[gasping]

Oh!

[C] You've lost.

Mr Chan, you're too behind in technology.

The special LCD glasses you wear

are products of the States from two years ago!

And this LCD contact lens that I have only came out in Germany last month!

It costs US $110,000!

As for this Ace, I put the two dots on myself.

Also,

my pattern of touching the jade ring

was deliberately added to my last 500 games...

to make you fall into my trap, you old fox!

Yee, I have to thank you.

I couldn't have beat this old fox without you!

He even thought that two million dollars of boiled vegetables

were bought by some Indonesian guy! [laughs]

You betrayed me?

Ko Yee! You fucker!

Son of a bitch. You fucker!

Don't shoot!

[screaming]

[gun clicks]

No one move!

Freeze!

Oh!

An ally. No problem now.

Don't move!

Don't move.

If you don't really need to... don't move.

You probably didn't expect that the tape hadn't burned completely?

Ko Chun, what do you want?

Not much. Everyone saw that you shot someone dead.

[chuckles]

[laughs]

- What are you laughing at? - I shot in self-defence.

Everyone knew that was a toy gun.

I sense this plan of yours to trick me into murdering has a little loophole.

The location is within international waters.

Only the ship's registered nation can arrest me.

- Is that right, Uncle Hing? - Hm.

My ship is registered in Panama.

The president of Panama and I are friends.

That's no use.

Go and look out the window and see if you can see Lantau Island.

Hm?

[horn sounds]

Sorry, Uncle, my men forced the captain not to go out to international waters.

No problem. Had you said, I wouldn't have even started the ship.

Ko Chun, this won't do you any good!

You broke the law too!

It doesn't matter.

I can get fined $3,000 for illegal gambling.

You'll serve a minimum of 30 years for murder.

You can have your 70th birthday dinner behind bars.

Don't send me an invitation. I don't have the time.

[titters]

Mr Ko.

Thanks for helping me take revenge.

[chuckles]

You're welcome.

Didn't I say it wasn't just about you? It concerned me as well.

How can I pay you back?

Buy me a nice box of chocolate.

Hm!

I've never seen you smile. Can you smile once for me?

No, I look ugly when I smile.

Hm?

[both chuckle]

God of Gamblers!

Goodbye!

God--

He still doesn't remember me.

[groans]

Ugh!

[grunts]

Crow!

Zan!

[sighs]

Hey, why are you mad?

- You-- - I'm Chocolate!

Oh, so you recognised me? Why did you ignore me three times?

If I hadn't ignored you, how would they have fallen into my trap?

So you tricked me.

You didn't get the signs? I kept winking at you!

Without any potential, how can you be my partner in Las Vegas?

Why should I be--

- Las what? - Las Vegas!

- Las Vegas! - Hm!

- [laughs] - We'll divide the profits, 30-70!

No...! What if you betray me again?

Why would I do that?

Right, if you ignore me there...

[both] I'll cut your...! [laughing]
