Original subtitles

Sorry, we're fully booked tonight

You know her?

Prince Fung's sister

Say a proper goodbye to Tsim Sha Tsui

From now on...

No one will see either of you here again

Sorry

We'll arrange it ASAP

All the regulars are here

And we're understaffed

I know!

Damn it

Ana, Bo and May

are all playing hooky

This was intentional

Call in some freelancers

No one's taking my calls

We'll sort it out, for Foon's sake

Is Foon still climbing the stairs?

Why is he doing that?

Foon climbs stairs to think in times of crisis

He finds solutions when he's exhausted

Quit chatting, table 6's fuming

I'm here!

Why are you so late?

Since Henry likes schoolgirls

I got a new outfit

Good girl

Take some notes!

Hey!

Don't crowd onto the same table

We know!

Coco

The skinny guy in the Gold Room

is Muses Group's heir

He looks like an easy catch

Really?

If it goes well, late supper is on me

Gotta snag him first

What'll we eat?

Your mind's always on eating

What's wrong?

Boss, have you figured it out yet?

There's no way we can save everything tonight

The priority now is to cut our losses

Stall for time

Tell the hostesses, less Gisele Bundchen

More chaotic

Let the customers ask for replacements

and stall for time

Piece of cake

Making them work hard is impossible

They're gold medalists in slacking

Henry

What is this, Mimi?

I've been waitng for over 30 minutes

Everyone but me is partying already

Is my money no good here?

Your money goes a long way here

Look, I brought you BB

She knows you like that school vibe

So she put on her school uniform for you

Take care of Henry, BB

Come here, young lady

Crystal

Take care Michael Henry

Have a drink first

Sure

Don't be mad at my mama-san

Of course not

I'll let you spank my hand as punishment

Your hand?

I'll spank something else

You're so bad!

Chi Ling, say hi to Prince Fung

Ace...

I'm sorry, but...

Bobo's needed elsewhere for a sec

Coco

No fucking way!

If Bobo wants to leave

she'll need to down this first

It's my fault, I'll take this

Wow. What's that mean?

You'll down the whole pitcher?

I'm not trying to rip you off

Kit, this bottle's on me

All right

To our distinguished guests

Coco...

Henry...

Mimi

I asked for student vibes

Why'd you bring the librarian?

This librarian is a barrel of fun

She can make a knot out of a cherry stem

Really?

Let's see it!

Get another girl!

I want a student!

I'll get someone from the next class

BB, look after Henry

Wing Kee's Tak, party of 4, ETA 5 mins

Man Jr. wants a room. I'm stalling him

Find a room where someone's vomited

Dump the bucket at the door

Then tell the janitor not to use sawdust

Have him mop slowly, like he's doing calligraphy

That'll send Man Jr. away

Drink

Ace, you suck at Morra

All right

I'll drink with you

Impressive, Chi Ling!

Prince Fung, wanna play Morra?

I don't know how

Dice game? Liar's dice?

Don't know them, either

Rock paper scissors?

Come back later

Glad you're fond of me

Let's drink more later

Bobo

Foon

Shantou smashed two bottles of VSOP

Turf hasn't found any freelancers...

We're like sisters here,

I hate seeing you keep getting sent back

How did you tie 10 rounds?

If one wins, game's over

And I will just be "another girl"

Good point

2 tables are leaving, that's 4 girls free

Kelly's drunk and has fallen asleep

In here, there's no one to rely on but yourself

Boss...

Make-up room

Shantou is tonight's troublemaker

Offer any disgruntled table 10% off

20% off, max

The customers who are not yet drunk

must be chumps

Sell them more booze to balance the books

Remember their faces

We'll milk them dry later

Four of you, come with me to Shantou's room

Coco, Mimi, flank him

Work him like surround sound speakers

Copy that

Let's move

Boss, since you need girls

I'll dive in

Dive straight to hell

Wait

Is anyone serving that pervert councilman?

It's his birthday. Room 8

It's a party of 5, but only 2 girls are in there

He keeps asking for Japanese girls

You speak Japanese, right?

Yeah!

(JP) Good evening, pervert councilman, nice to meet you

(JP) I'm Yui. Happy birthday!

No clue what the fuck you said

But it's perfect

But with looks like that

She'll get knocked back out

Doesn't matter

The perv has weak vision

Then you're up

Remember

Don't speak a word of Cantonese, speak only Japanese in there

If you have nothing to say

Sing in Japanese

He can't tell

Leave it to me, boss!

Should I put on a push-up bra?

Leave the visual effects aside first

Get in there, charm his pants off with Japanese

Get changed

(JP) Wakarimashita!

Clear?

Let's move

Come on, everyone...

Who's in there?

Keung from the gambling den

I told them not to smoke weed

I'll warn them again

Is that the joint where you play mahjong?

That fucker's always skimming off Coco

I'll avenge you tonight

Go and turn down the air-con

Let them take up some more

Why make them smell like rappers?

I didn't want to lose money tonight

But I'm running out of ideas

Let's try this

Stay with them for 10 minutes

Then come out and call Snoop

You mean Dogg?

The police inspector, dumbass

Just confirming

But Keung will get us for snitching

Find a way to

mention the councilman next door

If Keung wants revenge, blame him

That's harsh

I'll stay in the room and look after you

Keep it together for me by all means necessary

Let them get me drunk

Don't get drunk together

If anything happens, I'll handle your customers

10 minutes

Good morning!

Say hi

Boss Wai...

These are Billy and Kwun

Beautiful blossoms bring great fortune!

Just for tonight

You get my 2 best gals

Since they became mama-sans, they haven't served a table

They thought they were out, but you've pulled them back in

Bring them there and back again, like hobbits

Foon

You son of a bitch

Don't you bullshit me

Why don't I toast you instead?

Have fun tonight! Bosses...

Here's to you

Police inspection! Lights on, music off

Put out that cigarette

Officer Snoop, we're a legit joint

3 mama-sans went AWOL

with all their girls tonight

You're mama-sans, too

Don't tell me you were in the dark

Only one person in TST

would dare to mess with me

It's my ex-wife...

Dame V

Everyone that jumped ship from EJ last night...

Bring them to me

Will do, Foon. Right away

Hi, Foon...

Hi, Foon...

Great, I can spare the missing person reports

That's a relief

Dame V asked us to try working here

We know we are out of line

I understand

How much did V offer you?

She's offering that much

because you're all worth it

It's hard to be a boss, you know

I have to look after my girls

and turncoats like you, too

All of you getting better pay

makes me look good, though

That's free market

I wish you all

thriving business!

Thank you, Foon!

Dame V

Dame V

Foon!

Already here to catch up with old colleagues?

You know I'm nostalgic

The older, the greater the nostalgia

Foon

Your boss is here

Let's see this joint's service quality

You spent a fortune to steal my girls

Is it personal or business?

What can I do?

You ignored my takeover offer

My only option is to poach your staff

You do your thing, I do mine

If everyone's happy, why pick a fight?

My boss likes playing Monopoly

When my company buys out EJ

We'll take over all of TST

Then you can retire

You're just an employee

Why care so much?

China City Club folded in 2005

Club Bboss and Club Paris are gone, too

What's East TST worth to you anyway?

I have to stay here

My godfather asked me to look after EJ

You want it that badly?

Fine

When I die

or Godfather dies

Shit

He's really dead

Hey, missy

I'm the godson

Godmother

I rushed over as soon as I heard the bad news

Your godfather's gone, just call me Mrs. Wong

I came to see if I can help with Godfather's funeral

No

I never cared for this part of Hong's business

nor its people

It's indecent business...

Toying with women

I'll report the price we discussed to my boss

It shouldn't be a problem...

What price?

I'm EJ's CEO...

Draw up the papers ASAP, I don't want to worry about it

Nothing to worry about, I know a good firm...

Our company has the best legal team

We'll contact your lawyer when it's ready

Miss Koo, can I get a word in?

Mrs. Wong

Let's hash out the details over a meal

How about Thai?

I love Thai food

Thai food's great

(TH) Pad Thai?

(TH) Aroy aroy

Judge a man by his words

Measure a horse by its stride

A good judge of character

goes a long way

Your sister knows it

V can teach you all about that

I understand

My son, Fung

Remember him?

Yes, you brought him to Muses

I even remember who served him

Even with a wealthy father

A son who doesn't know better

will lose every last cent to another

Dame V, the EJ contract

I'm off to Canada next week

They finally found a suitable liver for his mother

I'm so happy for Mrs. Chau

I'll stay with her while she recuperates

For any nightclub business, speak to Fung

He has some good ideas

I haven't seen Ella in forever. How is she?

Good

She made 300 million

off a deal in Vegas last month

She's amazing

Young people don't go to traditional nightclubs anymore

Clubbing venues definitely have more potential

So much for good ideas

Your sister learned business management from V

So should you

Stop spending all your time on stocks

Everyone, welcome Dame V

Dame V...

Welcome, Dame V!

I'm sure Foon's told you what happened and who I am

I won't waste any time

EJ is shifting to corporate management

Managers will longer assign girls

We're going pageant style

Girls will be brought to customers

6 girls for a table

10 for a room

We'll let customers choose

Low-quality girls with bad performance, please leave

How old are you?

32

ID card

38

You're still a hostess?

Sit down

They've been with me for a long time

They'll get the job done

All right

I'm fair

Those who earn the most can stay

Turf. The ledger

Yes! Right away! On the double!

One confirmation's enough!

You heard the new boss. She wants results

You have 3 months to prove yourselves

3 months?

2 weeks

Probation is usually 3...

1 month

That's hardly enough time

Then leave

OK!

1 month!

31 days!

Fine!

30 days!

Boss...

Maybe you can pull it off, but they can't

Bobo is a trespasser

She throws herself at the richest customer

Ace, you smell so nice

Which cologne do you use?

Drink it if you like it so much

Silly Piggy

Who drinks whatever they like?

Since she loves hotpot

She must down the whole pot of soup

Let me toast you first

It's all right...

I didn't hear that

Mama-san Yes?

You've got interesting girls

Really?

Won't talk, won't smile

Exactly

What's with the jacket?

How about this?

Next time, I'll bring a dozen down jackets

I was donating them anyway

Go get yourself a down jacket

I was kidding, dumbass

Have a drink

It's OK to be mute, not smile, and wear jackets

But they have no common sense!

They can't tell that a table is willing to spend?

You know

How much I hope for a gay customer?

Are you serious?

I'm witty, humorous...

Well-read and well-informed

I have a cute smile

and a hearty laugh

Everything a customer wants...

I got it

Then go become a gigolo

Boss...

If you ever

start a host club one day

Count me in

Let me be your flagship

I'll note it down

Well-read...

Yup

Willing to serve...

Yes!

BB has a bad cold

When she's back, I'll spank her

BB is such a brat

Awfully irresponsible

When she makes enough dough, she travels

and ditches her clients

Then she waltzes back when she's broke, like nothing happened

No responsibility whatsoever

If Mimi was her real mother

she would lose the will to live

Zero discipline!

Nice, free nuts

Pretty good

Hey, get rid of these

Don't put them on my tab

Commercial crimes are no joke

Chi Ling keeps humiliating her customers

Beating them until they're deflated

When customers complain, she berates them back

Six ones

Six ones between two players?

Any respectable barrister would call you out

Come on

Drink up, Barrister Chan

You had two ones yourself!

Stop sucking

How about a game you're better at?

Boss...

Be honest, are you keeping her because

she's your bastard daughter?

Why would you make that guess?

Isn't it more likely that I've slept with her?

You were married to Dame V

but you never cut her any slack

Oh, right!

There's also Crystal

Too old to be a hostess

But no girl accepts her as a mama-san

She's biblically stubborn

We're screwed, Foon

If this keeps up

they're all fired in a month

Not even God can save their asses

How do we improve them?

Improve them?

It's impossible!

I'll be frank

Other than looks

They suck at everything else

I won't let you say that

Am I wrong?

You are right

but I still won't let you say that

We have to pull up the curve

Call in girls who can help ASAP

Copy that

I got this, Boss

If we pay them, they will come

You'll see the goods tomorrow

This is our boss, Foon

Hi, Boss Foon

They can help us

Show Foon your conviction

Introduce yourself if you have it

You

Don't be shy

Flaunt your market value

I'm Chuen

I've been a thug since I was 8, I'm multi-lingual

Who's your boss?!

(Mand) Who's your boss?!

Where are you?

That'll do, thanks

Ng goi

(Mand) Xie xie

Thank you

Enough, Merriam-Webster

Next

My name is Cheese

I'll tell you a joke

One day...

I'm finished

One day... I'm finished

What's so funny?

Step back

My name is Nanako...

Wait

She's applying to be a mama-san

You said you're hiring hostesses

You heard wrong. Step aside

I'm May May

We're identical twins

You're both humans

But you're not twins

That's what we meant

Howdy, Foon

I'm Franchesca

I'm 19-and-a-half ''yeers owe''

Wait a sec

19 and a half? Be honest

Then imma round up

I'm 19

That's not rounding up

Whatever

Where's that weird accent from?

I'm from...

Kwai Fong

That's a stop on the subway line

You're a local

Why the accent?

It's trendy

Stop speaking

Thank ya for the chance to be at EJ, "Balls"

Boss

How about this one?

Call her over if you dare

Never mind, thanks

Boss, I recruited them

based on 2 insistences

3 principles

4 policies and 5 basics

Name a principle

A girl for every taste

An insistence?

Insisting there's a girl for every taste

It's so rare to be feeling both

dumbstruck and speechless

at the same damn time

Don't you let V see these girls

When is she coming in?

Right now

Fuck, get them out of here!

Move it!

Take the back door!

Good morning, Dame V!

He's our general manager, Foon

Hello, Foon

Hello, everyone, welcome

This is our owner...

Prince Fung

Hello, Prince Fung

Hi, thanks for helping us out at EJ

We...

All right

I'll show them around

Are they that stunning?

More stunning than you

Kiss my ass!

Cut the shit. Collect the delivery

Aren't you coming?

I'm a bit hard, I can't move

You go

Shithead!

See them?

We're screwed this time

They're like fighter jets

You lot?

Waste incinerators

Spend the night with me

Sure

Player keeps winning, but you won't bet on it

You keep betting on Banker

That's because...

I'm betting on the Banker of EJ

7 for the Banker

8 for the Player, Player wins

I better stop

Yes, Mr. Chau?

Get me another $10 mil

Right away

That's too much!

As long as you have fun tonight...

I win either way

Aren't you afraid of losing?

All my life...

People had me pegged as a loser

Even that woman at EJ

thinks I'm doomed to fail

It's OK to lose in the beginning

Getting one big win in the end

is enough

I'll be right there with you

Be my girl

I prefer to see a man confess their love

to my face

TST will be mine sooner or later

I want TST's best woman by my side

I can put my company's catering group

under your command

You can stay as East TST's big sister, too

Keep it public or private. Your call

Get moving!

Why're they twisting?

Sciatica?

These tacky ringers only work old fogies

We work old fogies, too

But our old fogies are bank executives

Hi, here come the girls

Introduce yourselves

Hi, I'm Tina

Kelly

Chi Ling

"Kwei" Fong

What Fong?

Kwai...

Oh, Kwai Fong

Got a Tsing Yi?

First one

Yoyo

Third one

Chi Ling

I choose Puff

The one in the middle

Puff

Pick one more

First one's OK, too

Mickey

Hong

Fleur

Do you like singing?

Get rid of the rest

Wonderful!

You brought in quality girls!

You're all on the chopping block!

Why aren' t you taking customers out?

Your periods came collectively?

On Christmas vacation?

And you!

I told you a million times

Go to the Olympics if you're so good at morra

You're killing all your customers' androgen

A customer complained to me

After losing to you

he had a nightmare

about being bullied at school!

Losing on purpose is fucking humiliating!

Humiliating? Getting fired is humiliating!

If V fires all of you

Where can you go?

You're all spoiled princesses in East TST

Can you handle Jordan and Yau Ma Tei?

There are fights every night in those joints!

Wanna be a masseuse?

Do you even have the skills?

Even running your own brothel requires etiquette

You keep looking down on the ringers

These so-called inferior girls

are all kicking your fucking asses!

Cat got your tongue?

Order more food

then go back to work

Singapore-style curry vermicelli?

It'll turn our teeth yellow

Don't say that...

How about Hokkien fried rice?

Sauce on fried rice is weird

You're so annoying!

Where's that energy just now?

If we don't boost our numbers

it's not just you who'll be booted

She'll find an excuse to get rid of me, too

So please...

Shape up

Drinks

Get moving

Go on

I asked you!

Sit your asses down!

Use your brains!

Boss asked me for drinks

That's enough

Getting customers isn't hard if you've got the skills

Incompetence is career suicide

To sear this into your minds...

I'll put on a demonstration

I'll be the hostess

Serving this...

Guest

Which kind of guest do I play?

You're born to play a shitty one

Zero difficulty

I'll be the shittiest!

When you sit

Lock arms with one hand

Put your other on his thigh

Stroke once in a while

If you have tits, press him a little

But not the whole time

You're seducing

Not giving it away

What's the sign language?

Was I signing?

Whoops

If you have no tits

Find a new job

If you can't

Buy a padded bra

If you're pretty

Lean forward

Let the guest see your pretty face

If your looks leave one dumbstruck...

Lean back

Use his shoulder to hide

When you speak

Squeeze your lips by his ears

Why squeeze your lips?

It's sexier, and science has proven that

you can't swear when your lips are squeezed

Try it

Sure

It's true

Am I clear?

Let's start

You're so bad, Mr. Chan...

Can you take your meds first?

You're so bad, Mr. Chan...

it's been too long. Don't you miss me?

Have a drink

Screw your drink

Blow me!

A little fast, isn't it?

You told me to be shitty

Who gets shitty this fast?!

Shit slowly

Shit slowly

You're so bad, Mr. Chan

It's been too long. Don't you miss me?

I wouldn't be here if I don't

This place ain't cheap

I'm worth it

What do you think of my outfit?

Looks good

Blow me!

I told you to slow down

I already did

By one line!

Understood

Shit even slower

You're so bad, Mr. Chan

It's been too long. Don't you miss me?

That's enough, work was terrible...

Family's terrible, wife's terrible, son's terrible

Parking's terrible, traffic's terrible...

And getting a girl with no tits is really terrible!

When you're too sober, everything's terrible

A drink will solve all that

Let's drink, then

Now that you've rinsed with alcohol

You can...

I can what?

You can sing!

Manager! There's no microphone!

Well, that blows

Again?!

Are you obsessed with blowing?

Boss

That "blow" was an adjective, not a verb...

I don't give a fuck, you say "blow" again

You'll swallow this!

Foon

Can we beat up shitty customers?

Swallow your pride while you're serving

Wait until you're outside

Most customers come

looking for conversation

They'll talk about anything

So you have to know everything

Stocks, horses, football, cars, watches, fashion, news...

Current affairs, the economy, politics

Even triad politics

Watch the news and read the newspaper every day

No need to be an expert...

Just know enough

to carry a conversation

Does my nurse uniform pass muster?

With global warming, the ozone layer depleting

and tectonic plate shifting, polar bears will be homeless!

You don't look like a nurse at all!

You look better

How many kinds of seeds did Noah's Ark contain?

Enjoy EJ's specialty, watermelon!

Giant watermelon...

Kwai Fong?

Did you hire her?

A conversation is better than a seduction

A seduction gets you only one night

But the right conversation can get you an apartment

Smile. You gotta smile

Even if your customer is a sourpuss

Let him see your sweetest smile

Kwai Fong is great

She takes the gross guys other girls reject

I think she'll even sit with a zombie

Drink up the juice, too...

Always pour for the customer first

When he picks up a cig

Light it for him

These are basic maneuvers

If you don't want to ruin your liver

Kiss them

If he grosses you out

Get him drunk

If you don't hate him, take him to a hotel

If you can't stand him...

Get him drunk

The price for half a watermelon?

US$2,500

Sell him a whole watermelon

I told her to sell him 2

Can he finish them?

He certainly looks like he can

Lots of people think

our customers are here to buy women

Sorry

They're here to buy dignity

The dignity they can't get at home and at work

The dignity they can't get from relationships

That's what they're buying

Throw in some bananas

How much?

US$800

For a cluster?

For one

Isn't that too much?

So be it

That's why they come when they're happy

and they die to come when they're sad

The rich come every day

The poor will come by all means necessary

These men are all sick...

Sick of loneliness

Remember...

Our customers may not always be right

But they're sick and suffering

We have to let them...

Drink it off

We hear you, boss

We understand!

Lost again?

How are you so good at this?

Tea and hot towel

I think...

I'm getting a bit drunk

You suck at Morra

Come back later. I'll teach you the fundamentals

Fuck, I'm gonna go insane!

We're almost out of booze

Let's get more

Order 2

Only 2?

Sure you can finish them?

Make it 3

Fine, 3 bottles

Any insider tips?

Yeah

Since you're so sweet...

This one

Buy it at 10

We'll sell at 20

But you should sell at 18

By the time we sell, it'll be too late

Wait till the hotel

Fuck that

Big Mic will cling to you later

I don't want to fight him

Behave

Let me get a kiss

Doing the deed here costs extra

I got so many credit card bills to pay off

And I'm paid next to nothing here

Look at my hands

There's no bling

I'd love to put a watch on it

But I can't afford it

Poor watchless girl...

Do you like it?

You're always staring at it

Let me be clear

No returns

Never

I'm buying in now

They already showed improvement this month

Look at how much my girls brought in

Why should I keep poor earners?

They've worked for me for years

I can't watch you

kick them to the curb

There's no loyalty in business

Don't get chummy while talking about money

Without affection, how do we retain talent?

EJ is what it is today

because Godfather saw them as people

Not numbers

I gave them more freedom

Less restraints and less rules

so they're happy to work harder for us!

Isn't that best for the company?

I've heard enough

If I fire them, you can stay

If I fire you

They can stay

I'm going to Macau

tell me what you decide tomorrow

Pulling me back won't help!

I wasn't pulling

Does anyone surrender?

No more surrender

13

Bust

Please place your bets

No more bets

Does anyone surrender?

I never surrender

No more surrender

12

Hit

16

Stand

17

Hit

But it's 17

Hit

20

Stand

Bust

There, I helped you win

A win-win situation, everybody's happy

Don't bother, I've made my decision

I'm not here for you, I was passing by

and ran into you

Does anyone surrender?

I never surrender

No more surrender

18. Stand

16

Hit

21

I have no fear

Bust!

Keep going!

Does anyone surrender?

Never surrender!

Bust...

That's $420,000

Congratulations

Thanks

Hi, Mr. Kwan

Hi, Ms. Koo

Based on your betting record

You've earned a suite from us

for a good night's rest

Win more tomorrow

Do you want it?

Thanks

Who'd celebrate a divorce's 10th anniversary in bed?

Happy?

Was that OK?

It was so-so

The old East TST was like this place

Every street was lit up with life

If Mr. Cheung hadn't hired this salesgirl

to be a mama-san

I would've never met you

If we didn't go to East TST...

Would we have been happier?

We spent our lives in TST East

For better or worse, nightclubs gave us everything

Can't have selective amnesia

There are people and places

that you've seen at their best...

You've shared joy with them

Even when they've changed

You can't just let them go

at a whim

V...

How about...

How about you keep me at EJ?

You planned this?

What?

You took me to bed

to convince me not to fire you

You had fun just now, too

We used to make the best team

Team? Who do you think you are?!

At least I know a gigolo's price

You're haggling after the deed?!

Is this how you teach your girls?

Sure, I'm a gigolo. Why be mean to your own kind?

We're colleagues!

Am I this low on your hierarchy of contempt?

All this time

You're just jealous Muses hired me as CEO instead of you!

It was either staying with you at Bboss

or run multiple clubs!

What would you have chosen?

Don't make false accusations

I was never jealous!

Sure!

I sure as hell hope so!

You were jealous I had rich guys swarming all over me

It bothered you so much!

So what I cheated first?

You've slept with plenty of the club's girls!

You should've finished the scene

and asked to get back together

before stabbing me in the back!

I would've had more respect for you!

Getting back with you?

I could have my pick of the litter

Where do you get off?

Look in the glass

You're only good to me when you want something!

You wanted a Fairlady,

so I bought one!

Imagine a man in a pink car!

I bought it because you wanted it

What did I get out of spoiling you rotten?

That's why you never washed the car!

You let it get covered in dirt and bird shit

so it'd go from pink to gray!

It looked horrendous!

Listen up

I never want to see you again!

Big fucking deal!

If I walk into EJ again, I'll get struck by lightning!

This is fucking insane

Your marital star's doomed, but you're popular with men

A man can help you

But a husband can't

My ex and I can only share woes, not wealth, right?

You're stubborn and competitive

If you meet the right man

try to compromise

All men are worth killing

Better for him to die than me

What do you want to eat?

Fish balls

Okay

(Are you okay?)

Sorry, I won't take up much time

So you do know time's valuable

My punctuality depends on who I'm meeting

Dismissal letter

Dad's not coming back

I don't need you anymore

Termination without cause

Second...

EJ Entertainment...

I'm not buying it anymore

I'll get to the point

That contract you signed at the racecourse...

You're listed as guarantor

Young people don't go to traditional nightclubs anymore

So much for good ideas

Since Muses is out

The guarantor is responsible

You're screwing me over?

You want EJ? Sure

Buy it from Mrs. Wong on your own dime

It's only $80 million

If you don't want it

The guarantor pays the cancelation penalty

Does your dad know about this?

Does it matter?

I'm the one burying him when he's dead and gone

If I lose to a little shit like you

I'll never work in East TST again

Dame V, you're really selling it?

It's your baby

Sell it

Inspection. Lights on, music off!

Quit smoking

Put it out

Don't wanna wait?

Leave

Hey!

What now?

Son of a bitch!

Is this a joke?

$7,000 for fake booze?!

Hello?

The buyer wants 1.3 mil less for your flat

But they'll pay cash

Sell it

Foon is a loyal dude

He laid his life down to save us

But there's trouble every night now

I wonder if this is Foon's revenge on that bitch

That's impossible

Foon would never sabotage EJ

And he'd unleash shit-stained grasshoppers

If he sends the shit grasshoppers

Then we're screwed

Did you just call me a bitch?

Foon may be an asshole

But he'd never go this far

Dame V, you're still here!

Of course I wasn't referring to you

I only have two syllables for you:

Respect!

The one sabotaging us

is Prince Fung

Amazing. Brilliant insight

I have plenty of connections on both side of the law, too

His currency is cash

My currency is favors

I won't lose to that little shit

I don't believe she'd lose to that little shit, either

Both cops and gangsters

are starting trouble every night

It must be Fung's doing

V dropped lots of money

meeting triad bosses

Did V call her old boss?

I saw her

talking to Mr. Chau on the phone

for 30 minutes

I couldn't hear the conversation

But I saw her crying

She froze for 3 minutes after the call

Then she chucked her phone

So you listened to her for 30 minutes?

Yeah

And stared at her for 3 minutes?

Don't you have work to do?

Come on

I was tidying up

What were you tidying?

The messy thoughts in my head

Are they tidy now?

I can say so

Why did I sacrifice myself

to save you losers?

I don't get it, either

It was a bad move

Move the fuck away

Hey!

Mommy

Why'd you move?

I told you not to move!

Your dad hasn't eaten!

I'll feed him

Sit down

Should've been a PLACE bet

Lost by a nose!

Let's eat

That's good...

Good...

How's business at EJ?

She already fired you

Why think about it?

The two of you

don't hate each other that much

She kicked me out of EJ

It's like kicking Poseidon out of the ocean

She hates me plenty

When a woman tells everyone she hates a man...

She's doing it for herself

If she burns the bridge

She can't turn back

Why don't we leave?

Where to?

I've been in East TST forever

Should I go to Mongkok or Jordan?

Those joints are a different ballgame

We don't belong there

Where can we go?

But since you have cash...

I don't believe in this stuff

Think about yourself

Then draw a card

The first one

Fate is telling you

that you know exactly what you want

You're ready to

take a sword

and go to war

What I want most now is a good sleep

and win the lottery tomorrow

I'll buy first-class tickets

and travel the world with you

Sayonara, suckers

Let's go to bed

I need to pee

Dame V

Have a dessert

Bird's nest stewed in coconut

I only like red bean soup

Got that, too

Red bean soup with sweet dumplings

I didn't say get rid of it

That's cool

Stop begging on his behalf

I'd fire him eventually anyway

He lent money to every girl who asked

If he's so generous, he should work in charity instead

Foon is hard down there and soft on the inside

How do you know?

Everyone knows he's a softie

I meant the first part

Speculation, just a speculation

No first hand experience

Boss...

The most money Foon ever spent

was for you

You pissed off another club when you pinched their hostesses

They wanted your arm for it

Foon spent a lot of money to defuse the situation

Then he wined and dined triad bosses

to save your clubs

He never told me about that

But I saw it

You men are all the same

You think you're messiahs

Your salary's pretty high

Why don't I fire you

and bring him back?

Dame V...

Loyalty's important in life

But so is morality

Foon got what was coming to him

I'm going back to work

Hello

Where are you?

None of your damn business

One sec

Who is it?

Take this

Take this

Come on in!

Excuse us!

Excuse us What's going on

Watch it!

How much more is there?

I am sorry

I sold my flat to pay for EJ

I don't have a place yet

I'm giving you a chance

I'm helping you out

You are clearly

turning to your ex-husband because

you have nowhere to go

Not the other way around

Where are you anyway?

Foon Kwan

Are you this debauched?

Your bed is in the middle of the living room

Worried you'll go soft before you reach your room?

What do you care what a single man does?

Maybe it can't wait because it's too hot and heavy

Or I have a large group of girls

and I need a bigger venue

Gimme a hand!

Why are you here?

Foon

Dame V is EJ's boss

Gotta show social wisdom

workplace IQ, and gratitude

You've never helped me move anything!

I didn't?

Maybe I had diarrhea

Some friend you are!

Bring my clothes here

Bedroom's this way Oh no...

Dame V

Damn...

It was here all along?

Gorgeous

Don't get the wrong idea

It's just that this room is bad luck

So I built a barrier

Don't want to think of you when I'm with other chicks

and ruin the mood

It's like I'm already dead

Is this a mausoleum?

Holy crap

You're sentimental

Piss off

I can tell you want to come back to EJ

You're hired

I approve

Working for you is impossible

This is my life savings

I'm investing

Are you kidding?

You only have $370,000 at your age?

And you want to be on equal footing?

Any of these costs more than that!

Hey

This is

TST's Dame V and East TST's Foon teaming up

We're invincible

we'll revive EJ together

If the numbers look good and business thrives

We can find an investor

or get a loan from a bank

Either way, we can't lose to that little shit

Money isn't everything

He's up against pros

We can only share woes

Never wealth

What do I believe?

I believe that if we share enough woes

Wealth may find its way to us

I'm so annoyed

I want something sweet

Knew it

"Mom's Taste". It's sold out everywhere

No way, these red beans are smaller than your boogers

I'm not eating this

We're in crisis mode

and you're still being picky?

I made sweet dumplings

Foon...

All right

Over there

Everyone...

I'm back at EJ

to tell you all one thing...

Things may get tough

But we've never been afraid

Because all this time

Everyone sees us as bottom feeders

We've never had it easy, right?

How do we get by?

Two words...

Sheer idiocy?

No!

Fighting spirit!

I didn't come back to protect you all

I want all of us to protect EJ together

I only have one request

Do your job properly

No more...

And definitely no less

East TST's death

is inevitable

How much longer will EJ be around?

Who knows?

But even if we have to turn out the lights

We'll stay until the very last drink

We're opening two hours late tonight

So we can drink it up first!

Turf!

Here!

Music!

Thank you, Chuen!

EJ...

What's wrong?

Worried?

Remember the night we got married?

All the hostesses, managers and mama-sans in East TST...

They kept making us drink

The two of us snuck up here

and laughed at the harbor for 10 minutes for no reason

Remember what you said?

I said I want to open my own club

The best damn nightclub in East TST and Hong Kong

And?

Someone said

she can't look that far ahead

But no matter what I wanted to do...

Whether it's conquering the world

or making a living...

She'll be my ride or die

Someone said he'd protect me

even if the sky falls down

Someone said

she felt sorry for me because

no one took care of me as a child

She said she'd take damn good care of me

We were supposed to have a boy and a girl

The boy would be named Obi Kwan

He should be a hermit

You almost killed me for that

The girl would be named Kwan Sum

Because I like girls

She'd look like you and

be drop dead gorgeous

It doesn't matter

what our kids would do

They just have to be happy

because we were never happy as kids

That's why our kids have to be happy

Most importantly

I never had a birthday cake

My kids will

have a black forest cake twice a month

Was it my fault?

Or was it yours?

All those years...

Why couldn't we live up to our promises?

It was my fault

It was my fault

I've never been more scared in my life

I've never owed this much money

I mortgaged my place

It's not even $10 million

You owe Godmother more

But if anything happens...

You'll survive on this

Take it before I regret it

Put it away

Don't be scared

Look out there

We're hardly the luckiest people

But plenty of people out there are worse off than us

And they're still hanging on

What's there to be afraid of?

We used Prince Fung's money to trade futures

But we've gone too far

How much do we still owe his account?

$23 million

Bobo

Ace...

Why didn't you call for any girls?

I sent them back

Who?

Not telling

Wanna take me out tonight?

I intend to

Big Mic is not coming tonight

No one gets to hog you

We want to play a round of ''educe the boss' girl''

You want in?

Four people?

Your colleague said no

If you give me a little incentive...

Whatever you say goes

This penny stock

it's at 10 cents now

We'll sell when it hits 2 dollars

You decide how much you want to make

That'll take a long time

It's 2000% profit

Damn right it takes time

Guys like Ace cling to rich kids...

Rich one moment, broke the next

Living day to day

You should protect yourself

Check if that fucking watch is real first

That chick was pretty good

No wonder you gave her a 100 grand watch

It was a gift from Mr. Sham. I don't even like it

Fuck it

I'm really saving up

For a flat, right?

Open a restaurant with the girls?

Or even a bar in Koh Samui someday?

Have you thought it through?

You're all over the place

It's OK to work hard for money

But you have to know what it's for

I don't have a clue

No...

I'm okay

Hong Kong's not looking good right now

How'd it go?

You talked for 3 hours

Do we have a shot?

These so-called investors

bring jack shit to the table

I wasted so much damn booze on them

Even after selling our flats, we're still short $60 mil

What do we do?

Banks are pessimistic about nightclubs

They won't loan us the amount we need

Years of hard work down the drain in an instant

I won't let us lose everything

What's wrong?

They say you're the best at Morra and drinking

And someone actually got you drunk?

Are you pregnant?

No

You okay?

I finally ran into him

That bastard abandoned me and my mom back then

I want his friends to see me whoring myself out

He loves his pride?

Being rich makes them fucking great?

I'm going to take his pal to bed

Let's see what's left of his pride then

My mom asked him to help with the rent

He wouldn't spare a cent

Know what it feels like to be called a beggar by your father?

It's been so many years

Let it go

Some words

are carried to the grave

Your dad's not that bad

I mean it

Ready, Chi Ling?

Are you okay?

Mr. Hon is asking for you

I can't stand losing to those bastards

Are you really going in?

What's it to you?

You've hated him for years

and he's been living it up for just as long

He's never cared about you

I know you want to win

But will winning make you happy?

This isn't victory

Do you really think this works?

Foon used to say...

The most important thing for a hostess is to have a style

That's how customers remember you

I'm going to the sauna

Come along

The seniors taught me

I have to take new girls to the sauna

so I can check their bodies

Check if the boobs are real...

Check for tattoos and the belly button

Why the belly button?

You really don't know?

The richer the clients

the more they worry about feng shui for their mistresses

A deep, nice-looking belly button is very popular

Is mine nice, then?

Hell no

What do you think your strengths are?

I only scored 2 on my diploma exam

After graduation, I worked in sales

But I wasn't articulate enough

so I got sent to the stockroom

I became a hostess with my friend 10 years ago

When the economy was good

I made decent money

But saving up wasn't a concept

When I finally wanted to save up...

I was rejected left and right

I've been gang-raped

I've had 2 abortions

But I still haven't killed myself

Does that count as a strength?

When you serve tables at your age

Age cancels out all your strengths

Become a mama-san

It's the only way to survive in EJ

Tables used to reject you

The customers only pick young girls now

How do you retain customers?

If you don't switch, it's over

How about this?

Take the ringers under your wing

Thank you, Dame V

For what?

At a time like this...

We should help each other

You know...

Every outfit of yours is a disaster

Your high heels look like clogs

I thought it's a prosthetic

We'll get new shoes tomorrow

Remember...

In a nightclub

Bad fashion sense is worse than bad at drinking

A mama-san has to razzle dazzle

I always say

every woman comes across at least one opportunity

It's up to her to seize it

Have a piece of gum... You won't get a bum!

As everyone knows, Mr. Yiu, tonight's private booking...

is a billionaire

So serve him with everything you've got

If he's into you...

I'll be calling you boss!

I'll kiss the ground you walk on!

Mr. Yiu's very happy with the band you booked for tonight

I already called the customers

who wanted to book tables tonight

Most have rescheduled for tomorrow

I'll apologize to them in person tomorrow night

Becoming a mama-san's changed you

I'm building a client base

But I only have a few for now

Everyone has to start somewhere

You will be great

Mr. Yiu, Boss Fun, cheers!

I met your godfather

decades ago

at Club Golden Phoenix Fountain

He taught me so much

Godfather will be overjoyed

to hear that you remember him so fondly

I drink to you on his behalf

All right

Who's that guy?

That's Boss Fun, head of Hong On Lok gang

He's a fun boss

Mr. Yiu knows people like that?

Yiu's dad was in illegal businesses

Him and Fun's dad were sworn brothers

They're childhood friends

You know so much, Turf

Know the book "100 Years of Hong Kong History"?

This isn't in it

I heard it from that tall guy over there

Say hi, girls

Mr. Yiu

Boss Fun

Go ahead I'll go first

Her. I can tell you're a great drinker

Chi Ling

You're fast

Of course

You seem like a great drinker, too

Really?

Let's split a pitcher to start

Is that a dare?

I'll be the judge

Thank you, Foon

Mr Yiu, I'm a mama-san

You still serve tables, right?

If Mr. Yiu wishes, I won't leave this table all night

My name is Mimi, Mr. Yiu

Don't call me Mr. Yiu

Call me Philip

Philip

Mimi

I have a question for you

I could see you wanted to ask me something all night

Go ahead

I'd like to know

does anyone in your family look like you

and worked in this business when she was young?

No, as far as I know

Who else in my family would be lucky enough to be a hostess?

Do I really resemble the person

you're hung up on?

See for yourself

This photo was taken in Golden Phoenix Mountain

Her name...

was Tracy

Doesn't she look like you?

Am I that pretty?

Look at me

You were pretty handsome

Yeah, they all say that

It's the only photo I have left

It's priceless to me

Just my luck... How'd he win with that hand?

A seat at the 2-4K table!

Anyone want in?

Here!

Come on over

To those of us who actually know mahjong you're an amateur

You deserve to get cleaned out, playing at a 2-4K table

Do me a favor...

Quit gambling

A woman's most important asset is her own money

Even if you go steady with Prince Fung...

If you can't afford a dowry, at least don't drown in debt

Don't assume he'll pay your debts

Anything goes during the honeymoon, but when it's bad...

He'll ask for every cent back

I had a good man once

An actuary

He didn't care about what I do

I almost left it all behind for him

He lived on Ho Man Tin Hill Road

Big, beautiful apartment

In the middle of his living room was a huge,

expensive white velvet sofa

Every time I sat on it, I felt like a thief

I was scared I'd soil it

Meanwhile...

He'd swirl a glass of red wine and sit right down on it

Completely at ease

That's when I knew

I could never be the lady of that house

A cliché like a diamond only belongs with a diamond...

I understand it

In our line of work, it's easy to make quick money

The problem is

we can't trust men anymore

That's not the worst part

We stop believing we deserve happiness

That's my fate

I hope it's not yours

Is it yours?

Nope

BB, Horlick...

You have a table waiting

Let's go

What are your sizes?

I'll get them for you

39, please

I'm a 39, too

Please wait

I'm sorry. We only have a pair of 38

Would you like to try it?

Sure

Then what?

We each get one shoe?

Let me try the right shoe

All right

I found your earring. Still have the other one, right?

You can still reunite them?

Thanks for finding it, Dame V

Try the whole pair?

You don't mind, do you?

You're a difficult woman

Foon told me a lot about you

So when I first saw you in EJ...

I had a weird feeling

Like I've known you forever

But I don't know you at all

He told you in bed?

Yeah

Did he tell you about me in bed, then?

No, right?

When a man tells you unreservedly about

another woman after sleeping with you...

That's nothing to gloat about, right?

Still care to try these?

No. They're too tight

They hurt

Don't mind if I do, then

I'll take these

Aren't they too tight for you?

But I like them

I may not be used to them at first

But eventually

I'll grow into them

The leather will be loose

You won't mind?

Foon once told me that

you don't stand for any ill-treatment

That's true

Sorry I'm late

Mister Yi...

Philip

This is for you

What is it?

Try it on for size

Tracy, the girl I talked about...

I wanted to take her away

But later...

She left with another man

to the United States

A woman has to leave

for a man to remember her for life

You're staring at her dancing with a rich guy

Feeling jealous?

You must care

Did she tell you I made her 3 offers?

She refused to come to Muses

She stayed at EJ because she cares for you

It seems like you don't care if she cares for me

You care more about whether I care for her

Even if I don't care about you

You still care for her

No woman is that stupid

If you care for a man

you shouldn't tell him

that another woman cares for him

Do I look like I care for you?

Since you care whether I care for her

you shouldn't tell me that she cares for me

Because now that I know she cares for me

I may start caring for her, too

So if I don't care for you...

You won't care for me?

Care for the calendar instead

It's almost time to pay Godmother

Quit caring about whether I care that she cares

Actually, you care because she cares

and now I'm going from not caring to really caring

Yes, I care for you the most

because you're my partner

You know, I really care when my partner is freaking stupid!

Something funny?

I laugh when I'm happy

Don't want me to be happy?

Of course I do

Will you share all that make you happy

with me from now on?

The shark fin! Hurry!

Hey, you can't be in here!

Mrs. Wong, about the final payment...

You signed the contract yourself

You're an adult

This isn't child's play

If you pay up, EJ is yours

Mrs. Wong, give me 3 more months

We'll raise the money

You drop millions at the mahjong table

80 million bucks should be no problem for you

You'd hate to go to court, right?

Drive

Mrs. Wong, for Godfather's sake...

Please leave

This way

Lady

This is the best shark fin

If you let us wait here

You can have a piece

We have plenty. This way

It's them who have plenty

You don't

Show some respect for yourselves

This way

You're humiliating

Hello?

Mrs. Wong

I rejected her

That's the way

No way they can afford the final payment

Once you receive V's penalty

I'll buy EJ from you

Your price is a little low

You're making double the money

Full payment

Or the deal's off

I have the money

Get rid of that bitch for me

and we'll make lots of money together

That's that

This is Coco

If she and her friends come to dine

It's on me

No problem, Mr. Chau

Miss Coco

EJ will fold soon

V will go bankrupt

Then she'll be on the streets

Whichever street she's on, I'll have it swept

I don't mind poor people

Just don't piss me off

Foon is great at his job

A bootlicker like him?

Down in Mongkok

They're a dime a dozen

He's just a mutt

Give him some money

He'll do anything like a good boy

Anyway, once they're gone

It's a new era in East TST

My era

After we conquer HK

We'll take Macau

Then Vietnam

I was there for a few years, there's potential

I'm going to show my father...

I'm as good as my sister

This news story

could be our lifeline

Why don't I

unleash my masculine charm?

There's a chance

your godmother could fall for me

That'll save us the bloody mess

of dismembering her

The other story!

"Soliciting murder"

That's a murder case, too

Call Bobo and Ding Dong over

Bobo and Ding Dong, dressing room

It's bad enough that Prince Fung set you up

I hear that

he doesn't even want EJ

He just wants to see you crawl

I'm the God of War's descendent

If I don't do something

I'd let down my great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather

You want to scam Prince Fung?

Not a scam

A misinformation campaign

Nightclubs have always been intel hubs

People trade intel here all the time

Wang Fu Tech's Simon Chiu

was diagnosed

with stage 4 brain cancer an hour ago

For real?

Trustworthy?

Prince Fung

loves coming for intel

When he hears a company's in trouble...

He immediately...

When the market opens

Short the stocks

as usual

If we can get Mr. Yiu to work with us

Fung will take the bait

No one's forcing him

He'd be asking for it

His greed will be his downfall

Mr. Yiu knows this triad don?

No

But we'll say he does

Foon, Dame V...

Is Ace in big trouble?

I hear he needs to raise $20 million

How much do we owe Fung's account?

$23 million

Check where the big bosses play cards these days

Make that money back

Ace's never this stressed

He said he's dead if he doesn't pay up

It's not his first time

Does he have a booking tonight?

Yeah

Put him in a room

I'll talk to him

Don't joke around

It's Prince Fung

How about

I pretend I heard nothing?

I promise

My lips are sealed

Thank you

You misappropriated $20 million

of Fung's money

on margin trading

Don't worry

My lips are sealed, too

Meet a friend of mine

Turf

Boss Hey!

Have a seat

Hey works in smuggling

When our triad friends need a boat

They call Boss Hey

Anywhere in the world...

He'll get you there

Either you help me

or you skip town tonight

Motherfucker!

This is blackmail!

Why should I take part in your farce?

You're a wealthy man

This money is chump change for you

But during the Asian Financial Crisis

If Fung's father hadn't

taken advantage of the crisis...

Your businesses in Indonesia and Korea

could've been saved

That time...

You took quite a beating

When trading opens

We'll give Fung a sweetener

Then you're free to do as you wish

Return the favor

What's up?

Why do we have to talk up here

instead of downstairs?

Prince Fung wants me to be his girl

and quit being a mama-san

This is what every hostess wants

I ought to be happy...

Right?

You've worked for me for years

If you find a good home

I'm happy for you

But if you're really happy about it

You should be pouring champagne

Not staring at the sky alone

Happiness...

It's fucking important

Boss...

It's time

Where's BB?

She went to Tokyo

Haven't heard from her, count her out

Is Kwai Fong scraping something off or drawing something on?

Give that crazy girl a night off

Don't let her derail us

Kwai Fong Huh?

Let's have a word OK

Put your arm down first

Is everyone ready?

Weren't you on vacation?

Don't get me started

Mimi said there's a big event tonight,

so she booked me on a flight back

I came straight here from the plane

Thanks

You're always saying I'm irresponsible

and that I have to be responsible to EJ

and to myself, too

I always take responsibility for myself

But if you've ever in trouble, I always have your back

I love you to death. I'll take your suitcase

I only bought one pair of shoes

Boss, can I have a word?

What's up?

Boss...

Have I done something wrong?

Take the night off. Come back tomorrow

Foon...

My father has cancer

Stage 3

Targeted drugs cost a fortune

I borrowed from loan sharks

I can barely cover the interest

I can't miss a night of work

If I'm not good enough in any way

I can change

How much did you borrow?

Along with hospital bills...

I owe $300,000

What kind of cancer?

Lung cancer

Which targeted drug?

Iressa, a chemo drug

Work tonight

Borrow $400,000 from the club

to pay off the loan sharks

The loan's interest-free

Pay it back gradually

Get to work

Thank you, Foon...

Thank ya!

Thank you all for saving EJ

All of you make me feel

I must've done something right this past decade

Since he wants to buy us out

I'll get the money to save EJ from him

This trust fund brat wants

a huge achievement to show his old man

he's talented in achieving

Simply put...

We're putting on a show for Prince Fung

For this show to be convincing

We need 4 parties to be present at the same time

The first party...

He gets amnesia when he's drunk Ex-police superintendent Ma

SP Ma, Table 1

The second party...

Prince Fung

Prince Fung, table 4

There's no room?

They're full, Coco

The third party...

Defense counsel for the triad don...

Barrister Chan

Last but not least... Mr. Yiu himself

But we have a problem

Barrister Chan

isn't exactly a regular

I need to know...

Does anyone have any connection to him?

I do

You better be for real

To get Barrister Chan here

It only takes one word:

Discount

How freaking excellent!

A round of applause

Pick up that cigarette

Yes, ma'am

Barrister Chan, Gold Room

What kind of discounts

are you offering?

One word: Cutthroat

And there's a prize drawing!

First prize isn't a fruit platter, right?

Of course not!

It's a large fruit platter

The barrister likes 'em young

Send BB and get him drunk

Barrister Chan

You really are a baby

Are you legal?

I don't break the law

I'm planning to major in law

I'm a legal beagle

How about some extra tutoring?

Say hi properly first

(JP) Sensei

That's SP Ma

Which one?

The baldie over there

Ex-police superintendent

He's a consultant now

He's my client

He's great

A radar

He sends me intel on both sides of the law

I recognize him. That schmuck's on TV all the time

Crystal, tell Chi Ling to get SP Ma drunk

But don't let him pass out

Chi Ling, get SP Ma drunk without passing out

Easy as pie

This is Kelly Long time no see

Enjoy

Have you had dinner?

Done

Gotta eat before you drink

I can drink plenty

Prince Fung

Looking good tonight

Won at the casino again?

I didn't gamble

She won

The bona fide

power couple

of East TST

Prince Fung...

Got any time to spare?

I'd like to discuss something

Later

Thank you, Prince Fung

Thank you...

It won't take much time

I'll send some girls over

Mimi, send girls to Fung's table

Fung, Ace...

Here come Bobo and Gigi

Sorry, Ace, we have a full house tonight

You'll have to wait a bit for your girl

Our hands are full

Mr. Yiu's back again

That's a lot of extra work for us

Which Mr. Yiu?

Philip

You know him?

Met him when I was a kid

Enjoy, everyone!

Heard from Mr. Yiu yet?

Not yet. I don't want to pressure him

No rush. He'll be here

Start the show as planned first

Yui, clean-up at table 4

This case is huge!

Did you read about this?

This triad don got arrested two days ago

What's the big deal?

Everyone knows Yiu's dad used to be in the triads

Rumor has it that this don was

secretly in Yiu's pockets all this time

Doing all his dirty work for him

So what?

Every rich guy has a hired hand

Big fucking deal

Did you hear me?

"All this time"

He's worked for Yiu for decades!

Now he wants to snitch!

If he succeeds

Shit hits the fan!

First wave effective

Cue Barrister Chan

Turf, got the photo ready?

Ready

More?

Sorry, Barrister

Is this your wife?

I can't tell!

It's too small

She's here for you

She's outside

Damn it

A raid on discount night...

And I'll miss the prize draw

Where's the back door?

Leave the room... Pass the main hall...

Take the hallway across...

At the end of the hallway There will be 3 rooms...

Pass the third room Turn left, then right

Then take the stairs. It's up and down.

Go down

Up and down...

It's OK. I'll take you

We have a "wife distraction" service

So don't worry

EJ thinks of everything!

Indeed. No time to waste. Let's go

OK

Barrister on the move

Remember my tutoring sessions

Cue Kit

Make it look good

Are you OK?

Losing at liar's dice again, Barrister?

Come on, Barrister, take the stairs

This way

Cue Mimi

What's Barrister Chan's rush?

He got an urgent call from a triad don

He's off to Mongkok Police Station

Ace

BB's never served you before

Hi, Ace

You served that lawyer?

What'd he say on the way out?

He said it was an urgent call from a triad don

He needs to work right away

You said the baldie is your client

and a radar

Go talk to him

See what he knows

Sure

V, got a bomb to defuse

I'm headed towards SP Ma

Bring Ace over

Mr. Ma

Having fun? Dame V

Of course I am

Dame V

SP Ma

Ace, meet Mr. Ma

Hey!

Shut the fuck up

I'm thinking

SP Ma said the don...

spilled everything about Yiu to the cops

The cops are on the move

Mr. Yiu can get arrested anytime

But I think

Yiu may have gotten wind of this early

He could come prepared

Is SP Ma trustworthy?

Yeah

I've used his intel to make money for you

18 months ago

When MBJ's commercial crime allegations tanked the stock

That time...

We made a ton from shorting it

The girl SP Ma is with...

Bring her over for 10 minutes

I'll try

Pardon me, Mr. Ma

Need to borrow Chi Ling for a quick greeting

She'll be back soon

Prince Fung

I'm not serving your table, what's this for?

When he was at your table

What'd he talk to SP Ma about?

Hey!

Just answer the question

Organized Crime Unit...

Don...

Something about dealings with Mr. Yiu

And Mr. Yiu needs to move fast

What do you mean?

I couldn't hear, they were whispering

And then?

And...

Something about American stocks

Then he left

It's not that I don't trust you

Gotta be prudent. You get it

We make huge deals

It pays to be careful

Hey

Yes, Prince Fung?

Girl in the silver dress

Bring her over for 10 minutes

You...

Don't tell her what I asked you

Sure

I'll bring her over

Fung wants to see Mickey, too

We haven't briefed the ringers

He'll expose us

Shit

I didn't think he'd interrogate 2 girls...

Sorry, Mr. Ma and Mr. Chan

Sorry, Mr. Ma and Mr. Chan

I have to borrow Mickey to greet a regular

I have to borrow Mickey to greet a regular

Again? Drink up, Mr. Ma

Foon, Dame V...

Organized Crime's here to arrest Mr. Yiu

Five cops entered Yiu's room

Looks serious

Are you OK, Foon?

Your slap was harder than his

And I meant it

Looks like he's 90% convinced

It'll be 100% if your friends are convincing as cops

He'd never expect me to scam him twice in one night

I let him expose one

to inflate his ego

Then he'll fall for the other one

Tomorrow's market will be a ride

SP Ma

What's going on?

All right, get to work

Fung really paid attention to the fake cops and SP Ma

Good thing Chi Ling got Ma drunk

That guy

can chat to any stranger for 30 minutes

What else did Mr. Yiu say?

He said it's a sticky situation and

he needs someone to sort it out

Then he whispered for a while

I couldn't hear him

You couldn't hear?

I told you to listen in on him

They were whispering

Should I have stuck my head in?

What kind of tone is that?

You're not staying over tonight

What do you think?

Should we wait and see?

Wait and see?

I happened upon this

and exposed Foon's scam in the same night

Luck's on my side

Keep an eye on the news

See if they report Yiu's arrest

Things happening at this hour

don't get reported until the afternoon

If it's quiet in the morning...

Once trading opens,

short his stocks

Want to go big?

How much is there in my account?

$150 million

All in

Keep your phone on

Mr. Yiu...

Fung took the bait

When this deal is done

Will you wire us the money, or... ?

Do I look like a liar to you?

I promised $80 million

That's what you'll get

Along with your $20 million...

You'll make over $100 million

Thank you, Mr. Yiu

Tell Mimi

I took a photo of hers

Will do

Lady Boss

Boss

I don't like being at your beck and call

Then why'd you chase after me?

Let's call it quits

Say that again?

You're Muses' heir

But I'm EJ's Coco, too

You can look down on me

Who needs your fucking respect?

Fuck!

Now he'll remember you for life

What is that worth to me?!

I'll remember him for life, too!

I'm dumb enough to throw away a goddamn jackpot!

It's all your fault!

No blocking!

Don't you move!

Watch my head...

Don't I deserve a hug?!

You do...

I don't get it

How can your sister be so smart

when you're this stupid?

You got scammed hundreds of millions!

Imagine what'd I say

if I'm not your dad!

From now on

Don't you touch any of my nightclubs

or listed companies

Work at your uncle's crappy diner instead

Work the deli counter!

She's gone out

I'm quitting

Mr. Yiu's offering me capital

I'd like to venture out

I may quit the business

Where are you off to?

A place where no one knows me

and no one can find me

It's a bit sudden

I asked you to come with me

But you chose to go back to EJ for her

The tarot card you drew the other night...

It didn't mean what I said

I just told you

what you wanted to hear

What did the card say, then?

The card said...

"Wishful thinking"

I'm leaving

Hold me

Every time I leave...

I'd flip my hair

to show you I only have one earring on

Then you'd say

Hey!

Why are you only wearing one earring?

You dropped one?

All right...

Let's look for it together

But nope...

You never asked once

I've dropped

so many earrings here

Not playing anymore?

I'm wiped out

Nine...

This always happens

After a crisis, one of us wins, the other loses

We already won back all of EJ

Isn't that enough?

If the gods keep playing tricks on us after this...

Since when do the gods call the shots?

Have they asked for my permission?

Wealth is great

but I already knew there'd be hardships

What matters is who I suffer it with

The gods love to fuck with us

Instead of believing in them...

Believe in yourself instead

I'll follow your lead

You always go all the way

Everything's gone, let's go

Already packed in the afternoon?

It'll be even busier tonight

Remember to...

Smile!

Good Girl

Mr. Wong

Your dad left you so much

that you can't lose

The question is how you want to win

And how you want to show off to your dad

Ace

A new girl for you

Clever Coco

To our new friends...

Cheers!

Enjoy your night!

Sorry, we're fully booked tonight

You know her?

Prince Fung's sister

As most of you likely know...

I am Ella Chau

The new CEO of the Muses Group

One of our first moves

has been to acquire EJ Entertainment

As part of that

our intention is to immediately commence

with an internal restructuring of EJ

With sincere apologies to our distinguished guests and clients

We need to close and ask you to leave early tonight

As we need to excuse ourselves

to deal with some urgent matters

As a way of showing our regrets...

On the house, we provide you with a bottle of the finest Armagnac to be left under your name

and for your enjoyment during your next visit

Madam Wong has already settled the contract with me

As of midnight yesterday

all of the financial matters were resolved

and EJ Entertainment officially belongs to the Muses Group now

With that, the transaction has been completed

and your services as a guarantor are no longer required

We are grateful for what you have done

and the services you provided

I know that it'll be 2 more days before you get Mr. Yiu's money

So you're too late

The money you made in the stock market...

The Muses Group has no right to recover it

But personally, let me say this to both of you

Say a proper goodbye to Tsim Sha Tsui

From now on...

No one will see either of you here again

In one hour...

I want everyone out

Thank you

Shantou told me that

Ella has put an all-triad order

If we're seen in East TST...

We'll be killed

Storms never stop

They'll come out of the blue

But if I don't let them kill me

I emerge as the victor

Tailwind pushes us faster, but headwind lifts us up

If we can't stay in East TST, we'll go elsewhere

We'll open a luxury private club

The space is smaller, but we're as packed as ever

Sorry. It won't be long now

These girls never change

Always late, won't answer calls...

This isn't the first time

I've been in the sea. I can jump in again!

Quit jumping!

You've polluted the sea enough

You're done

Ever think of the fishes?

No?

Clean up and help me make calls!

Hey!

Too many for one room!

Spread them out!

I know!

But no one stays undefeated forever

Look at Chuen...

He used to be a big spender

But now...

He's bankrupt

That's OK

We'll get him through it

Chuen

Chuen

This is on the house

Foon... A beer from you

is good enough

I'll take that bottle when I have money again

Next month, then?

Store this for Chuen

We'll wait. We absolutely will

When you're doing well

We'll celebrate with you

When you're not well...

When you need a breather...

We'll open our doors

We'll drink with you...

Laugh with you...

Cry with you...

Ride the rough seas with you

As long as everyone needs entertainment

and joy...

We'll be around

Welcome!

Mountains will always stand

and rivers will always flow

We're ready for you
