Original subtitles

Back to Hong Kong.

Only then can she be saved.

I swear with my blood.

Wong Tai-mui, you'll forget Cheung Po-tsai forever!

Cheung Po-tsai.

Mui, Sis here. Do you hear me?

No pictures...Don't get in the way...

How's the patient?

Pulse 113, BP60/30, neat cut, no gaseous or abnormal discharge...

Please wait outside.

Is the injury work related? The Government will pick up the tab, right?

Is it covered in the policy?

How could you?

She's the only sister I've got.

If anything happens to her,

I'd sell our house to save her!

Doctor, how's my sister?

She needs to be operated on right away.

Don't worry. The cops won't come up again for the time being.

Sometimes, the most dangerous place is the safest.

Go in.

Now you look normal. Not so weird.

OK!

You just came out of the bathroom. You should be OK.

Come sit down and take a break.

Here's breaking news.

WPC Wong Tai-mui was injured when pursuing the kidnappers.

She has been sent to Tang Shiu Kin Hospital on Hong Kong Island for treatment...

Get me a speedboat. I need to leave Cheung Chau.

Yes, Big Brother.

Every cop here is out to get me.

Make a scene first.

Divert their attention by starting a fire outside the police station.

Stay tuned for the latest development.

You have not had a woman for some time?

You are gluing your face to the screen.

We'll be taken to Hong Kong Island later.

Hong Kong Island? Can you take me with you?

Of course. Why else should I tell you about it?

Since you're good at kung fu, you can call me Big Brother.

Doctor...

Doctor, how's my sister?

She's out of danger.

The cut on her abdomen is deep but her vital organs are spared.

Can you tell what made that cut?

It's cut by some sharp metal object.

It must be the speedboat motor, when she's taken away by the waterspout.

Mui...

(So intuitively the image is locked)

(following the lead of the heart beat,)

(awaking a scene in a dream.)

Though we could take down the cannon this time,

we will have to go our separate ways.

I am proud that a man has once loved me with all his heart.

So long as I am alive,

you will be drowned in happiness.

I could die with the man I love, I have no regret.

(...like we're destined to meet again, life after life.)

(Like the sea is close to the sky, wherever they are, whatever the time.)

(No matter how far apart, our memories will link us...)

Po-tsai...

What if you were stuck in time?

How could I not be there with you?

The worst case scenario is not the death you said,

it's me staying in Qing alone, worrying about you.

(No matter how far apart, our love will link us together...)

Wow, so many tall buildings here.

There're more in other districts.

Why do they have to be so tall?

The land costs tens of thousands a square foot.

How else can you recoup the investment?

Don't worry, work for me

and you can buy them up by the block later.

Stop staring.

He said his name is Cheung Po-tsai.

Cheung Po-tsai?

The pirate? I am so scared. Are you?

Yes...of his moustache.

I couldn't have got away had it not been for him.

He's quite an adept.

Yuck! It's terrible.

Same rule. If you don't believe me, you can try him out.

Good!

I like to try newcomers out.

Cheung Po-tsai?

It's hot!

Toying with me, kid?

That's feels much better now.

You...

Still thirsty.

Anything more to drink?

Your show time again.

And you said you seldom shoot.

I meant I seldom shoot to miss.

How cheeky! I like it.

Are you free tomorrow?

Can you take me to a place?

Where?

It's...

Big Brother, I am sure you'll find this news interesting.

WPC Wong Tai-mui was injured this evening in the pursuit of the Bandit King.

She's sent to Tang Shiu Kin Hospital for treatment.

She's out of danger after a three-hour operation.

She's staying in the hospital for observation.

Water Mui was right.

Only time travelling back to Hong Kong could save her.

This witch put our guys in trouble.

She thwarted our plans to kidnap that IT tycoon Yang Tao-guo.

Did She?

It's alright. It's payback time.

Big Brother, do you still have kidnapping Yang Tao-guo in mind?

Maybe we should lie low for the time being?

This is the best possible time.

The cops think I'd lie low.

Big Brother... Yes?

Cheung Po-tsai's fake passport is ready.

He's now Cheung Po.

Big Brother, Chueng Po-tsai is weird. He's not trustworthy.

Indeed, we don't know his background or identity.

He's so mysterious. He can't be trusted.

If not, I wouldn't have kept him by my side

I know what I am doing.

Fermented bean-curd and bun?

Some weird breakfast.

I grew up on this and have the size to prove it.

I find your Hong Kong breakfast weird.

Cheese and bread.

Cheung Po-tsai, here you are.

Show it if you are stopped by the cops.

Tell them you are a tourist.

Don't forget your new name.

Tourist? From where?

Where else? Somalia, of course.

You are a pirate, right?

This passport fits you.

OK. I have to go.

You really don't need a ride?

No, thanks. I can go there myself.

Wing, Keung, give him a ride. Yes

Don't bother.

I can get used to getting around Hong Kong very easily.

I can do it on my own.

Excuse me.

Where are you going?

The door is over there, dumbo!

What a jerk.

He's weird.

He just wouldn't let us go along.

Is he just playing dumb?

Roads in Hong Kong are dangerous indeed.

Water Mui said I should use the traffic lights.

Watch out! Do you have a death wish?

Why? I am using the traffic lights.

Can't you see it's red?

Wait for the greenlight! Trying to get killed or what?

They are different?

Water Mui should have told me that red is for staying put.

Green. So I can cross the road.

He sure sticks to character.

Not knowing how to cross the road?

What now?

How do you open it? It's sealed.

Using the Morse code?

To call the cop over?

That dude squeezed it open.

It tastes terrible!

Do you know I can charge you for littering?

I'll give you a pass this time.

Don't do it again.

Yes.

How can I go to Tang Shiu Kin Hospital on foot?

On foot? It's very far away. Take a taxi.

The harbour sure is beautiful.

First time in Hong Kong?

Yes. Got here last night.

Where do you hail from?

Xinhui of Guangdong.

Here you are, Tang Shiu Kin Hospital.

This is it? How much?

A thousand dollars.

A thousand? Don't try to rip me off!

You should use the meter in Hong Kong.

I got it wrong.

You pay what's shown.

Got it wrong?

Round it up to five hundred.

Five hundred?

508, right?

A thousand, really?

I am smart. Don't you try to rip me off.

You are so smart. No way can I rip you off.

Water Mui, here I come...

So many people here.

Are they here to see the doctors or for a fair?

How can I find Water Mui in such a crowd?

Where is Pa?

Ophthalmology...West Wing, 2nd Floor...

Gynecology? Urology? Pediatrics? What the heck?

Which department are you looking for?

She's stabbed.

It should be bonesetting.

There's no bonesetting department here.

Ask that Miss at the Enquiry Desk.

Miss? She's forty if not fifty already.

All nurses are addressed as Miss.

What can I do for you?

My friend was sent here.

I came from thousands of miles away to see her.

Name?

Wong Tai-mui.

Straight ahead and turn left.

It's 2/F of the East Wing.

I am most grateful!

Move it...

BP and pulse normal.

You are much better already.

Does the wound hurt?

It begins to get painful.

It's normal.

It's quite a large wound.

You were hit by the motor blade.

It can be fatal.

Thank you for saving me in time.

Or I would have been dead.

My superior just called me.

He said a colleague would be here to take my deposition.

I was notified as well.

His name is Cheung.

Bear it in mind. Don't tire yourself out.

Your health comes first.

Water Mui, finally...

He can't remember you because he has dementia.

Keeping him company is the best treatment...

Where's 501?

...this princes household of mine has grown so fast these few years...

Give the TV a break.

Time for taking your blood pressure.

Water Mui...

Water Mui...Here I am.

Just a moment.

I am taking her blood pressure.

Alright...

I took you back to Hong Kong in time.

Or you couldn't have been saved.

This is a good hospital...

with advanced equipment.

Do you know how worried I was about you?

I am relieved now that you are fine.

Do you know how screwed up I was on the way here?

Though you had prepped me for it.

I still didn't know how to use the traffic lights.

I almost got ripped off by the taxi driver.

I had to overcome many obstacles before I could see you.

What are you talking about?

What prepping you?

You've forgotten about it?

Hey...

It's OK now. Time for your medication.

Thank you.

Let me do it for you. Don't move.

It's empty. Let me get you some water.

Thank you, Cheung Sir.

It didn't sound like deposition taking to me.

Why did she call me Cheung Sir?

Here's water. It's hot. Be careful.

Thank you.

Water Mui, it's not easy for us to be back together.

Let's not be apart ever again.

I promise, I'll love you forever.

What do you mean "love forever"?

Water Mui...

Cheung Sir, though we are colleagues,

I'll charge you for molestation if you do that again!

Molestation?

Cheung Sir?

I am Cheung Po-tsai...Cheung Po-tsai!

Cheung Po-tsai?

You have forgotten everything?

We've been through thick and thin together.

You time-travelled back to the Qing Dynasty

We have gone through a lot together.

How can you not remember me?

I time-travelled back to the Qing Dynasty?

Yes, you ran into the waterspout in a speedboat.

Then you were taken back to the Qing Dynasty.

Then you met me.

I am Cheung Po-tsai!

I don't know any Cheung Po-tsai.

I ran into the waterspout and then I fell back down into the sea.

I never had any time travel, not to mention going back to the Qing Dynasty!

Wong Tai-mui?

I was sent to take your deposition.

I am Cheung Sir, Inspector Cheung Kin-fung of the Regional Crime Unit.

You are Cheung Sir?

Then who are you?

I told you, I am Cheung Po-tsai, not Cheung Sir.

Water Mui, believe me,

I time-travelled here with you from the Qing Dynasty.

I am Cheung Po-tsai.

Let go of me!

I am Cheung Po-tsai...

Freeze! Stop harassing her!

Let go of me...

Madam, do you know him?

So you are a tourist...

Yes, I am a tourist.

Cheung Sir, I think it's some misunderstanding.

I can tell he means me no harm.

Madam would let it go this time.

However, she wants no more harassment from you.

Now get lost!

Why? How come she has forgotten about me?

Why?

I look the same. How come she doesn't remember me?

She has no memory of the time travel?

Could it be caused by the injury?

Or the waterspout has messed up her memory?

Why?

What is this?

How come there's such a mark here?

It looks familiar.

I got it when Wusona gave me the jinx.

Could it be...her jinx?

I know why Water Mui remembers not a thing,

not even her experience in Qing.

It's Wusona's curse.

I didn’t love her and so she put this wicked curse on me.

She wants to break us up.

That dude really can’t be trusted.

He's a stool pigeon.

Big Brother, what will you do with him?

You know what to do.

Big Brother, here he is.

What is it about?

Cheung Po-tsai, I'll never forget about you

Where are we going?

Big Brother has some stuff hidden away. He wants us to help him retrieve it.

What's so important?

You'll know when we get there.

Big Brother, you come to look at this whenever you are free.

It seems intriguing to you. What is this...

This painting is almost 200 years old.

This general here looks like you.

It's my family heirloom.

It has been passed from generation to generation.

Actually there's a secret hidden inside.

What secret?

If it can be told, it's not a secret.

You are excused.

None in the past generations could find that out.

What actually is it?

Cheung Po-tsai, you saved my life after all

You deserve a parting drink.

Cheung Po-tsai.

Move it.

It's quite remote here. Not a soul in sight.

That's why we chose this place.

No one has a clue what's buried here.

Here you are.

Aren't we here for some stuff?

What's the spade for?

It's buried in the soil

We need to dig it up.

Cheung Po-tsai?

Why put the stuff so deep down?

How deep do we have to dig?

About two feet more.

It'll take some time.

Now I need to pee.

The hundred year old secret will be revealed with the coming of Po.

The one to find it is Bowie, the Bandit King of Hong Kong.

I was known 200 years ago?

Not just my name Bowie, but my nickname Bandit King as well?

The reunion with Wong Tai-mui and Cheung Po-tsai should take place in 2015,

The 9th day of the 3rd month.

What?

The exact day, month and year of our meeting was known 200 years ago?

Hello, I am here to say I'm sorry.

Sorry? For what?

You are...

Thank you.

My name is Bowie.

Cheung Po-tsai.

Be it good or bad, the outcome hinges on the conscience.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

You write your own destiny.

Where should I go to pee?

You had the nerve to betray us.

Now this is digging your own grave.

What are you talking about? What do you mean "betray"?

Where's Bowie? I want to see him.

What Bowie? Try Hades.

Big Brother...

Where did you get that phony info?

Po is not a police informant.

We're lucky I got here in time.

Or he would have been dead.

Luckily you got there in time.

Or I would have been killed.

Don't worry. I won’t let them kill you.

Be it good or bad, the outcome hinges on the conscience.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

You write your own destiny.

Set it up so that Tai-mui will kill Cheung Po-tsai with her own hands.

I have not told you about my identity or background, why would you believe in me?

What if I said I saw you in a Qing painting?

Would you believe it?

What if I told you I came from the Qing Dynasty?

Would you believe me?

Incredible, right? It's hard to believe.

Mui has lost her memory.

How can I help her recover her memory?

Mui, Dr Ko said you're recovering fast.

Smart girl.

He said once the suture is removed in a few days, I can be discharged.

Why so impatient?

Stay here until you are fully recovered.

Stay for a few days longer.

The government is picking up the tab.

You are staying in a private room. It's your perk.

What perk?

I only want her to fully recover. It's not about perks.

Don't just stand here.

Where's the soup I asked you to make her?

You have not made it?

Then go get her some bottles of water.

Just go. Yes...

Just go...Really.

Come on, sit down.

Sis, did I really see what I saw?

How come Brother Ma is now at your beck and call?

Of course.

Thanks to your reminder. I finally realised I should stand up strong!

Life won't be that easy for him.

If it won't be easy for him,

as your sister, my life will be much easier!

Eat all the fish maw and dried seafood you want.

Thank you.

I thought stationing in Cheung Chau is a cushy job for you.

But it turned out to be more dangerous than in urban district.

I just happened to bump into Bandit King's kidnapping of Yang Tao-guo.

Still, I think it's because you have offended the spirit of Cheung Po-tsai.

How else can you explain the waterspout incident?

Sis, there's something I want to tell you.

A man came to my room and told me he's Cheung Po-tsai.

He told me other strange stories too.

The man said you time-travelled back to the Qing Dynasty?

Some TV drama?

You too find it absurd?

If I had time-travelled back to the Qing Dynasty,

how come I have no memory of it?

Sis, what is it?

Now we are at it, I have a strange thing to tell too.

I was terrified after you were taken away by the waterspout,

so I tried to call you.

But you could pick up the call and keep calling Sis...

It's not possible!

I was inside the waterspout, how could I have picked up your call?

Wong Tai-mui, the model cop of Hong Kong?

Mr Yang Tao-guo?

Wong Tai-mui, I am a grateful man.

A token of my gratitude.

This is what you got for risking your life?

A good deal on his side.

You've got a good deal too.

The fruit is for Mui, not for you.

I was just doing my job of protecting the citizens.

Mr Yang, you are too kind.

You deserve it! You saved me twice.

You are my lucky star.

Actually I am here to offer you a chance to distinguish yourself.

You saved me twice.

You are my lucky star.

Actually I am here to offer you a chance to distinguish yourself.

Mr Yang has another presentation

at the Hong Kong Convention Centre in 3 days' time.

It's for promoting the launch of DaDaDuoBao.com in Hong Kong

as part of its global venture!

Another presentation?

Mr Yang, Bandit King is still at large.

You are offering him another chance to kidnap you.

I know. That's why I said I was giving you a chance to distinguish yourself.

I have liaised with senior members of the police force.

They will assign me to the care of the VIP Protection Unit again.

However, none knows the Bandit King's mind better than you do.

I hope you can take part in protecting me.

Want me to catch the Bandit King for you?

Mui, you aren't fully recovered.

Don't put yourself at risk.

Even if you die on the job.

This is what you'll get, and a thank you.

So I have overestimated you.

That day on TV, you promised the public the Bandit King will be caught.

So you didn't mean it.

OK, the answer is "yes".

But you have to leave the security of the function to the police.

Well? You don't think I should say "yes" to Yang Tao-guo?

As your immediate superior, I do have qualms.

It's not an easy assignment at all.

To be honest, if the Bandit King really shows up,

his target won't be Yang Tao-guo alone.

I think it's you he will be after.

I didn't do it out of impulse.

I had thought about it.

It's the last chance for me and the police to get the Bandit King.

I understand...

OK, I'll work with G4 to back you up.

Thank you, Sir.

Good luck! I have to go.

I want to ask you something.

You keep saying the world is full of fascinating things.

Now you are a convert?

What is it about?

What if someone said you have done time travel,

you've been back to the Qing dynasty?

Think it could be possible?

Nothing is impossible in this world.

As for time travel, it's impossible.

Don't be silly. Don't turn yourself into a laughingstock

Go to bed early.

Yang Tao-gun's presentation is in 3 days.

One more thing, I am sure you'll be very interested.

Wong Tai-mui will be there.

How did you guess that?

I didn’t guess it. It's long arranged.

The outcome was written down 200 years ago.

Water Mui, I do hope that what's written here

will help you recall our Qing experience.

Do you remember, you got to Qing through a waterspout?

You were on a windsurfing board.

You helped me defeat Wong Yi of the Black Flag.

I took you for a Western girl and brought you back to the Heroes' Den.

Back then we couldn't get along.

I called you a witch and you called me a pervert.

That time at the Nine Dragons Temple,

you kissed me in order to save my life.

Then you were bitten by a snake,

I sucked the poison out for you.

How can you not remember that?

We had a brush with death in the battle of Fan Lau Gorge...

You told me...

I remember everything you've done for me.

I am proud that there was once a man who loved me with all his heart.

Yours, Cheung Po-tsai.

Big Brother.

Po-tsai, are you going out?

Yes, to visit a friend.

I've counted you in for our big deal.

Big deal?

I don't think I can help you.

How come?

You are such an adept.

I stopped my buddies from killing you when they took you for a stool pigeon.

If you don't do it, how can I answer to them?

Let me think about it.

Don't bother. You are in.

Are you going out? Go ahead.

Water Mui, I have done all I could.

May Heaven have mercy on me,

that your memory will come back after reading this.

I mean you no harm!

It's you again?

I really mean you no harm.

What do you want?

Miss...

Don't scream...Please, don't scream...

I brought this letter here for you.

You'll understand after reading it.

I am sorry. I know it's rude of me.

You just read it.

See if you can recall anything.

I am waiting outside.

Could it be what he said was true?

Water Mui, I do hope that what's written here

will help you recall our Qing experience.

Do you remember, you got to Qing through a waterspout?

You were on a windsurfing board.

You helped me defeat Wong Yi of the Black Flag.

I took you for a Western girl...

Love me forever?

Water Mui?

Cheung Sir, though we are colleagues,

I'll charge you for molestation if you do that again.

I am Cheung Po-tsai...Po-tsai...

I don't know any Cheung Po-tsai.

You said you were proud that once a man had loved you with all his heart.

Cheung Po-tsai.

(My heart will never change, no matter how long we'll be apart!)

(I close my eyes and see your face,)

(like we're destined to meet again, life after life!)

(Like the sea is close to the sky, wherever they are, whatever the time.)

(No matter how far apart, our memories will link us together...)
