(Bring NT$3000 to pay your respect)

(Or else...)

Loser

You need some beating

Boss Dog Boy

You eat my lunch everyday

My nanny says l've become too skinny

Too skinny?

Your nanny's blind or somethin'

Talkin'shit

What you eating that fast for?

Hey, Grove guy

Haven't paid your bill this month?

lt's OK, you can pay with a chicken leg

Collected by me, Mr. Dog Boy

Welcome, you're now listening to

Mr. Lee's ''Hour of Sensibility''

This is a barbequed chicken leg from the Grove guy

1986 '' What the fuck is meaning? All l know is brotherhood.''

Don't run!

Dice go!

You need only five

C'mon

Again, again

Hit it

So many of them picking on one?

Where the hell is this fag from?

Just got transferred

See how far you can go

Get him up

Go ahead and run

You fucker keep running!

You run fast

Playing dumb in front of your daddy?

Shit

What're you doing?

What about that?

Not bad

Where's your manners?

Scar, cigarettes

This is a beauty salon, not a barber shop

What's wrong with him?

l'll tend to your wound in a minute

Scar

Sister Ling

What's this for, no

You have already sent so many flower banquets

You also spent quite a lot when you took over the business

How could you say no to my cash gift ?

Bye, Sister Ling

Pay 50 bucks to get through

Want to be friends?

Fuck off

Did you get that chick yesterday?

She ran away

Loser

What?

l beat up the newbie

what's that to do with you Temple Front?

Excuse me, Mr. Boss Dog Boy

Just a notice

From now on, his business is my business

His enemy, is my enemy

Whatever people owes him

l'll get it back for him

Whatever he doesn't want from people

l will give it back for him

Would you please tell me

Did you pick on him yesterday?

Dragon Lee

Don't pick on me

when my cousin is in jail

Pick on you

Just like you called up those body builders to pick on him yesterday?

Making him pay respect, huh?

This is your turf, huh?

Now, nobody is picking on anybody

Now l am asking you, fair and square

Did you pick on him yesterday?

How nice, everyone's here

l, Dragon Lee, is here, no one dares to hit back, so be my guest

Do me a favor, the new guy

Can you make it quick, 10 minutes have passed

You don't really need that much thinking

lf you don't fuck'em up today

One day they'll fuck you up

My name is Chou Yi-Mong, friends call me Mosquito

l moved to Monga when l was 1 7

l became a gangster, because of a chicken leg

All this fighting, is there a meaning to it?

What the fuck is meaning?

Your daddy only know brotherhood, never heard of meaning

Since l was little, l had no father, no friends

l was bullied by all the neighbors and kids

Until l met my brothers

My life seemed to have some meaning

No

What the fuck is meaning?

All l know, is brotherhood

Dragon Lee

The only son of Geta, the boss of Monga Temple Front

A street prince born with a silver spoon

As the son of a gangster boss

Naturally

all the kids respect him as the big brother

Since he's little

he's been the gangster force on campus, maintaining the orders

So much so, that the word Brotherhood, in his definition

Has everything to do with Power

( Protection fee, 500 )

However, the one who really has what it takes to be a boss, is him

Monk, real name Ho Tien-Yo

His family owns a Buddhist Accessory Shop

When he's 5, a fortune-teller

determined that this kid was to become a gangster

( Your boy is destined to be a gangster )

His dad therefore asked his best friend Geta to look after him

Monk is extremely intelligent

Showed amazing talent as early as in elementary school

He can finish test papers for 4 people at once

Each year, he won six championships at school:

writing, speech, reading, spelling

calligraphy and art

( Boss, the high mountain tea you ordered is here )

Because he has high lQ, and he's resourceful and well-mannered

Comparing to any of us

Monk does everything with more ease and professionalism

Growing up with Dragon

Monk only cares for Dragon

The way l see it

His definition of brotherhood is

lncomprehensible to others

A-Po, Huang Wan-Po

An underdog who knows best about survival

( l've been a butcher all my life )

( How come my son is such a coward? )

He claims that he's killed 233 pigs

Done 107 women

Kicked 375 people's asses

( 376,379... )

Brotherhood for him, is a means to hustle around

A truth only idiots would buy into

The idiot A-Po refers to

Would be Monkey

Monkey, real name Hou Chun-Sheng

His dad died soon after he was born

His mom ran away with some man ( On my white horse )

His grandpa raised him

( Through three territories )

( This is my line, who the heck are you? )

( l am Chun-Sheng )

Just like me

Monkey was often bullied as a kid

What's different is

When he turned 10

He Suddenly realized that he was good at fighting

Since then, he's the one beating people up

No one can hit him

lt was in the same year

That Dragon recruited him, and he became a gangster kid

l took on three all by myself

You're talking shit

The highest record we ever made

was to pick up a mass fight among all gangs in Monga

lt was that night

that five of us became sworn brothers

and formed the Prince Gang

Were not born on the same day

But are willing to die on the same day

Shall anyone think twice, will be punished by the Master God of Monga

To have the limbs broken and die an ugly death

Hey. What do you want to do the most in life?

Join the gang, be the boss

You wanna replace me?

lf l become the boss, then you'll be the boss's boss

Sweet talker

What if you ain't in the gang?

lf Monk wasn't a gangster

he could get a PhD and win Nobel prize

Anyway he's gotta be someone big lah

lf l ain't in the gang, what would l be?

Eighteen Copper Men conquer the world with Shaolin Kung-Fu

Famous traditional kung-fu medicine

Go back to sleep

What about you, what you wanna do the most?

Me, l wanna go to Japan

And do what?

Go see the cherry blossoms

So ''romantico''

My dad sent home a postcard from Japan before he died

On it, there's cherry blossoms all over the sky

He got passed on some kind of disease two months after he got there

He probably died not even

knowing l was born

Have you ever seen cherry blossoms?

Look, cherry blossom

Here, to your dad

Fuck! What you splashed on me with?

Pee, of course

Bitch, asshole

You can't get me, won't get me

Don't go.

Thanks

Hey

What you had was broken

Got you a new one

Takin' off

Not sleeping yet?

What's going on?

How's school?

Ok, nothing special

Just the way it is

(Notification for Absence without Leave)

l've never asked you to get good grades

All l want is that you graduate

Graduate from high school, that's it

ls that too much to ask?

with the Temple Front hooligans all the time?

Will there be a future for you sticking with them?

There's no such thing as future for someone like me

Say that again

l wouldn't have survived school

if they didn't watch my back

You don't steal, rob, or do anything unspeakable,

why do you need them to protect you?

What about you? Aren't you doing the same thing?

We just moved here, and you already hooked up with the Mainlanders

What kind of mindset's that?

Don't you also need someone to watch your back?

We're sworn brothers now

l never had any friends since l was little

This is the first time

Happy birthday

How do you know it's my birthday?

l have my way to find out

Let's go celebrate

Move it

How's it?

Take a look

Not bad huh, do you like it?

Thanks

Dragon, big bro

Come, come. Come on in

Woo-hoo! Love birds

Get lost

lgnore them

Mosquito, Mosquito

Drink up

l'll puke if l drink more

Are we brothers or not?

Monk, Mosquito, come on, dance

Hurry up

Get movin'

Let's go

Monkey

Dance with them

No, l can't dance

Hate, love, commotion in my heart

This trap, trap, trap, why me?

Hey, isn't it time to give our b-day boy the present?

Mosquito

Aren't we going to get some squid soup?

Let's have it to go, you go get it

Oh

Remember to tell the owner it's for the Temple Front

This way he'll add extra squid, hear me?

OK

Hi, 5 squid soups to go, it's for the Temple Front

Five to go, for the Temple Front

Temple Front

Damn Temple Front, don't run! Knock him dead!

Don't run!

Temple Front! Get him!

Don't go

Kill him!

Wow, they're coming, coming, coming

Wow, super fast, 9 minutes 35 seconds

Mosquito

(The priest undertaking fear expel ceremony for Mosquito)

Hey, sorry about the squid soups

Should l go get them again?

Get them again?

What you laughing about?

Jeez, you're unbelievable

You almost got killed

and you're going back there again?

Hey Monk, enlighten him

This is the Temple Front, our turf

Monga, Since the Ching Dynasty to the Japanese Era

has always been the busiest commercial center of Taipei

lt's like a gold mountain

full of opportunities and dreams

ln places like this, all kinds of people mixing together

Someone needs to maintain

the order and allocate the interests

That's where a ''Block Boss'' steps in

The streets and lanes are their borders

Each takes care of things big and small on his own turf

Each protects the civilians on his turf

Some say there are

over 70 block bosses in Monga

And some say over 30

But no one knows

for sure the actual number

Haven't you been asking

why we fight all the time?

You get it now?

Boss Dragon

Anywhere in Monga

mention Dragon's dad's name

No one dares to touch you

Because we, the Temple Front, are Monga's most powerful

lf you run into those from the Back Alley,

No need to say anything, just hit 'em

Didn't we kick their ass the other day?

And also those at the night market tonight

Dragon Bro

Have a cigarette

No l'm good

Give it to others

Hey Dragon, what's your dad's name?

Didn't l just tell you, Geta (Wooden clogs)

The one that shielded off the sword with two clogs

Hey Dragon, your dad is really cool

Hi, good day, good day

Boss Geta

Come here, eat

Time to eat lah

Lazy dude shits and pees a lot

You use the toilet whenever it's time to eat

My belly hurts, what can l do?

Hey your kid is big

you should go and register

She wouldn't marry me

Come on, meal time

The kitchen ceiling is still leaking

what did you do to fix it?

Look

Tomorrow,

if l still have to wear this shower cap when l cook

You'll be the one that's leaking

Ok, ok, take a break

clean up and eat

Wow, braised pork

Oi, watch out for the hygiene, not with your hands

Come and eat

Come on, eat lah

Come and eat

ls this the way of the gangster? Not exactly what l imagined

This, is the real Taiwanese gangster

Vulgar and powerful

Ma'am

Mom

No, l'm good, you go ahead

Get you some rice?

No, l am fed up

l just lost 16,000

to that Mei-ji bitch

lf l don't get it back next time along with the interest

l'll write my name backwards

Mom, this is my sworn brother, Mosquito

Hi there

Alright, you guys carry on

Boss, it's taken care of

How'd it go?

Kept wailing

Ok lah, go sit down and eat

Have a seat

Riot at the Rocky Bay Prison

They even sent in the SWAT team

lt's turned into such a big deal

Take some of this

This reduces your internal heat, have some

Get some more

Dad you're home

You were saying

Wim-Kian's uncle

Uh-huh

Which uncle is it?

Well it's Dog Boy's dad

Oh, Doggy

Wim-Kian is raised by Doggy

He'll get even for sure

You better watch out

Boss

Uncle lost 200 grand at the Temple Front bookie

He told them

to collect from you when you come out

But they insisted on chopping down one of his fingers

Fuck

What you doing?

Hey where the hell are we going?

Just chill, you'll know in a minute

Where's Monk?

Boss Dragon

There's no way he'd come for this

He's not interested in women

Try saying that to him next time if you got the balls

lt is true

He is Monk

a monk should be vegetarian and celibate

Exquisite Tower

Tower is exquisite, there are 13 stories in the Tower

A temple in front of the Tower, an old monk in the temple

The old monk is the Master of six pupils

See?

Auntie has prepared

swallow nests and shark fins for you

Pick one you like and enjoy the tonic

Feed yourself well, so you'll be strong

Auntie, my dad doesn't let me come to Treasure Borough,

Cow Dung

Yes ma'am

No one knows

Boss Dragon was here, got it?

Sure, leave it to me

Little handsome, come, your turn

Wait, l'll wait, they go first

First timer, huh?

Auntie will get you a pretty one in a minute

Make you lose your virginity tonight

Then take a red envelope for good luck

Auntie come in for a second

Take your pick

Don't be scared

You scared the shit out of me

Auntie, how can you sell this kind of product?

What you lookin' at?

l'll dig your eyes out

Her, l can do with her

Did you go to Show Shang Elementary School?

Didn't you always carry your lunchbox

in a washing powder bag?

You're confusing me with someone else

You

Why do you want to be a hooker?

What about you?

Why do you want to be a gangster?

Can we talk first?

What's your name?

Whatever

l'm Mosquito

Music?

Whatever

Thanks, come again

Hey

My name is Ning

Oh

Stop pouting

l'm not pouting

lf you wanna see ''Fatal Attraction''

How was it?

How was what?

Was it good?

With that birthmark girl yesterday

No

None of your business

l don't want next time. l wanna see it today

Hey what's the fuss about?

Everybody wants to see this one

Everybody, everybody. lt's everybody again.

No idea

Fuck, mad woman

What do you want? Picking on me or what?

l am not picking on you

lf only you did what you promised

The ''Project A'' sequel is what l wanna see

lf you don't like it, then leave

Excuse me, l am Dragon's friend

You guys had a fight?

He asked me to come look for you

He wants to apologize

He didn't earlier

because the other guys were there

You understand, right?

Men don't like to look bad in front of friends

He asked me to come get you

He's waiting for you in the back

Come this way, in the back

This way

ln the back

l just wanted to enjoy a movie with him

And he invited those guys again

l don't understand

Why does he have to be like this all the time?

He's in the back

Come, come here

You know why?

Because Dragon Lee is a freakin' fag

Without those guys around all the time

He'd be scared shitless

You got me?

Shush

Hey

Gotta go

See you tomorrow

Have you seen Hui?

Fuck, you're shitting me

Boss, l am not lying

that chick is real hot

Show me tomorrow then

Sure, l'll take you tomorrow

l have no idea what you're saying

l didn't do anything

Didn't do anything?

Then why did you run?

Gimme a break, you guys got weapons

Who wouldn't run when they see you?

Who knows, maybe the Prince Gang is just

itching to beat someone up

Fuck, you're full of shit

A man is responsible for his actions

How come there's such garbage like you?

l didn't do nothing

l'm being framed

Some fucking bitch set me up

Shut his mouth

Hey you can't be serious

To be a man is to be serious

First, l will seal your mouth

And then left eye

Then right eye

Left ear

Right ear

Left nostril

Then drive you into the mountains

Dig a hole, throw you in there

Pour in vitriol, and then fill up the hole

Monk, you can't do this

What you gonna say to my cousin?

Why do l have to explain to Wim-Kian?

l don't belong to the Back Alley, l am from the Temple Front

Are you fucked up in the head?

Besides, having done something like that

You are the one

who should figure out what to say to Wim-Kian

Stay away from me

Don't you come closer

What the fuck, what the fuck are you doing?

Fuck, what you doing

Seal it

Seal his mouth

Fuck, don't fuck with me

What the fuck

Seal the eyes

This is enough

Dragon, Dragon

Fuck, let go of me

Let go of me

He fucked my woman, don't you know that?

He fucked my Hui

Yeah, l know

l'll do it

Hey

No need to worry

l'll take him to the doc l know he'll fix it

lt'll be alright

Thank you, see you again

Thanks

Auntie, l want Ning

Ning is with a customer at the moment

l'll get you a prettier one

Hey A-mei

lt's ok, l'll wait

So faithful

Handsome, come in, don't go away

Come again soon

Who did this?

lf l collect less than 30 cards

One whip for one card short

Sorry

What you sorry for

You didn't turn me into this

What's up with you?

Can l spend the night here?

How many more do you need? l'll buy them all

l bought a lot

Even one for Dog Boy

Sorry, l forgot that he can't eat

How could this happen?

Didn't you say it's no problem?

Could be too much in the nose

Oi

Where is it?

What?

The yo-yo

The five of you, try to fly

when you still don't know how to walk?

Blackie and l only went to the South for a couple of days

You already made such a big mess

When the day comes that l'm gone

Would that mean the end of Temple Front?

The Prince Gang my ass

Lost your mind for a Mainlander chick

Dragon Lee, you really think you're a prince?

man's life is worth nothing for you?

You can kill when you can't even kneel properly?

Look, if you fall again

l'll beat you to death

l'll be your page boy if l don't

Boss, l made this mess

lt's got nothing to do with them

lt's all my fault

Fine, get up

All of you, get up

All get up!

You are good

l wouldn't know if you didn't tell me

lt's your fault

lt has nothing to do with them

You are good

You are good

How come you're so good?

So good

You are really good

Really good

Dad

You

Heading back?

Uh-huh

Boss Masa

Boss Masa

He almost wasted him. God forbid

He meant to kill him or what?

When kids make a mistake, they should be disciplined

You haven't changed a bit, so naive

Don't you know what kind of person he is?

Sigh...

We're brothers for so many years

We're like family

Family? lf only he felt the same way, too

Secretly hired someone

to chop off your hand, and took your place

And now, he fucked up your son when he got the chance

Don't talk about this in front of the kid

Come, come outside

Hey, why aren't you sleeping? What's going on?

What he just said, is it true?

Chou Ling-Wan, your registered mail

Oh

Be right back

l'm takin' off

Got enough money with you?

Yeah

Careful

l will

Sorry about that

No worries

Your son is very good-looking, going out?

Yeah

Pre-graduation trip

He's graduating?

You are really lucky

You're too kind

''1987''

''Together, We Stepped into the World of Grown-ups And There Was No Turning Back''

Samurai 2-feet

Edged stiletto

Whenever you have time,

take them out, feel them and clean them

Befriend them

When you are in trouble

Get it?

Hurry up, you're falling behind

Son of a bitch, fuck

One, two, three

That's how it's done

Hey, l just took a piss

What age is it ?

They all use guns now

What's the point of practicing these?

Come on, when the guns are loaded

Do we have the time to turn around and get our 2-feet, 8-feet?

Our asses are already getting shot at

What the fuck did you say?

Boss Geta

Dad

Boss

Guns are evil things imported from the West

They are for those who don't have balls

Weapon for the lowly

To establish oneself in the underground society

One depends on his fists and knives

l won't let the five of you lay your hands on guns

You hear me?

Hear me?

Yes

Let's go

Take your shit and let's go

Yay! The training camp is over!

Black Dog Bro on the mountain top

He is the young master of the ranch

Hard working night and day

His huge ranch takes up the whole mountain

His singing is loud and cheerful

He sings non-stop all day long

His songs are so beautiful

His nice singing voice got him famous

l hear his voice but can't see him, yo le yi li

Throughout the whole mountain there is his voice, yo le yi li

The voice is pure and lovely, yo le yi li

Yo le yi, yo le yi li

Thank you

Applause please

Boss, what an incredible night

Both bosses of Monga Temple Front

and Back Alley are here

Masa is here?

Yeah

Good, l'll go have a drink with him later

Sure, sure

Hey

aren't the Back Alley guys our enemies?

Of course

Then why Boss Geta said he'd go drink with the boss of Back Alley?

Oh, they are buddies

They are buddies?

Uh-huh

They were sworn brothers

Like the five of us

One day you'll get your own block, l'll have mine

Our subordinates fight when they see each other

But for us on the top, when we meet

having a drink is a must

You'd better watch out

l'm not scared of you

lf you don't tell what's on your mind

Who will ever know?

Sometimes l really want to

Just let out all of my sorrow

Stepped into the underground

l shouldn't have

Now that l want to undo my mistakes

Who would understand?

My love if you know my heart...

Hey, homeboy, what a coincidence

l was about to go have a drink with you

Who you with?

Wim-Kian, he just got out

Came to welcome him back

How long was he in there?

House Cleaning Operation, it's been three years

Three years already

He brought a Mainlander with him

Said the Mainlander took care of him in there

Brought him to introduce to us

Lately l heard those Mainlanders

want a piece of Monga

Oh, gimme a break, don't think too much

l can't even speak ''Mandorin''

With them, there is nothing we can talk about

Hey homeboy, l'm thinking, seriously

Couple of events happened to Wim-Kian's household

lf you can, would you come and say hello?

His uncle cheated in games, l handled it by the book

His cousin raped a woman

l sorted it out for him, too

The street, and business, the rules, l did everything right

Why should l apologize

to a youngster for things like these?

Nah, you know it

Wim-Kian is like a mad dog

l don't care what kind of dog he is

lt's your dog, train it yourself

Geta, nowadays the Grey Wolf's gang

is doing very well

Boss Masa, please stop teasing me

Did l say it wrong?

Dragon, make a toast

Boss Geta's son

My son

Dragon, handsome fellow

Bro. Grey Wolf

Grey Wolf, he's the most promising among

the younger generation in Monga

We should watch our back

or soon we'll be history

Boss Geta, look

For the past 3 years when l was in there

thanks for taking care of our boss

And people in my household

One day l, Wim-Kian

will do my best to repay you

Now that you're out, you should be happy

Saying all this nonsense is useless

Alright, come on, drink up

Here, everyone, cheers

Cheers, everyone, drink up

Cheers

Wim-Kian

How's your boss doing overseas?

He's in good shape physically, but he's kind of depressed

lt's hard not to get depressed

Mainlanders are indeed different

That Grey Wolf, he moves a finger and the cigarette comes

The glass gets refilled as soon as it got empty

lt's like they were telepathic

And the whole group

stood still in the back all night long

Tall and straight like the Military Police

My legs got sore by just looking at them

Sigh, Monga is hopeless

So maybe you should

join them if you like them so much

You shitting me?

They just look more impressive

Wouldn't we look cool if we act like them?

l think they look phony

Yeah, bunch of fakes

You know that Grey Wolf?.

You know him personally?

No, my mom does

Your mom's sleeping with him?

Fuck, shut your face

Ah-ha, something fishy here

lf your mom doesn't want him

give him to my mom. He is her type.

Shut up

ls it good?

Hmm, it's good

Then l'll bring some more next time

OK

Did you have a tough time in the mountains?

What's up with you?

You look not yourself today

l ran into someone l don't like

Who was it?

My mom's ex, before she married my dad

My mom said she'd been with him since she was 16

But one day

He left without a word

And disappeared until a few years ago

Are you gonna disappear like him someday?

You're scared that l'll disappear?

Silly

Why call me silly

l won't

What did you say?

Something nice that l'm not gonna say again

Hey boss, a barbequed chicken leg

OK, OK, right away

l'll get one more then

OK OK

Boss, have a chicken leg

Oh

Come, sit here

You grew up without a father?

That obvious?

Leave us; kids shouldn't listen to adults' discussion

OK

Boss Masa

l heard you've been working

with the Mainlanders, why didn't you tell me?

Who is talking such nonsense?

Words spread fast

Gimme a break

l can't even speak Mandarin

how do l work with the Mainlanders?

You really buy that shit?

Seriously, no?

They did talk to me about it

But l haven't agreed

That means yes then, and you're still playin' dumb with me?

l've told Wim-Kian about this

lf Boss Geta doesn't agree

then l won't do it

Our Monga is an old town

We have our own way and traditions in managing this place

We don't want to work with outsiders

Masa and l are no exception

l understand

How about this?

ln the beginning l won't show up

And you two bosses still handle everything

We can observe each other for a while

Until we've reached certain level of understanding and trust

Then we'll go from there

Moreover

The business l run outside of Monga

lf you are interested, please let me know

l would love to have you join me

Thanks a lot

l think we better stay in Monga

with our small business

We don't know much about the outside world

We are not interested in running around

What about Boss Masa, what do you think?

My position is very simple

Whatever Boss Geta says

l do my best to follow suit

Yeah, you are the shit now

Dozens of block bosses, with losts of grease to go around

And then

Fucking old asses getting in your way

Look at your bosses:

drink all day, the women, a great life

Eventually, they will suck Monga dry

lt's such a wonderful land, what a waste

Look at our Big Boss

He's got brains

He doesn't sleep, he spends his days thinking

Thinking about how to develop the organization

Now, as soon as he gives an order, it'll be like cell division

We'll no longer be just a gang of hundreds

But tens of thousands, l am telling you

Guns will be brought in by sea in boxes

Halls will be established one after another

And you

Hanging out on your block

Selling toilet paper and selected tea, collecting fees

Getting turned in every now and then

Times are changing, bro

Do it right

We set up a hall in Monga, and you'll be the Boss

Each of us needs our own stage

The world is going to be ours

lt's gonna be diffiicult if there's only one hall for the entire Monga

The two major powers in Monga

Are our Back Alley and the Temple Front

We've got our own blocks on each side

You won't have any problem with me

But if you wanna make this work

You'll have to include the Temple Front

Otherwise you'll have to deal with all the blocks behind them

lt won't be easy

lt's gonna be a tough fight

You got someone from the Temple Front?

l still remember four years ago, right here

You were against over a dozen from Da Dao Cheng

l saw them beating the life out of you

Still you wouldn't give in

l owe you for that

No need to thank me

lt was because you've got balls

lf you weren't tough enough

Even if you got beaten to death in front of me 100 times

l wouldn't give a shit

Really, l owe you a lot

And that thing about the Dog Boy

l am fully aware

Dragon messed with somebody's girlfriend four years ago

But you took on the heat

Can we spare Dragon?

What? You want to protect your brother?

Look

l am afraid that we are losing the entire Monga

you know that?

lt's like the last years of Ching Dynasty

All the foreign powers have surrounded China with

their firearms, canons and ships

That old empress Tz'u-Hsi still thought she could bring them all down

That's exactly what's happening in Monga

Our Boss Masa

puts on fancy clothes and fools around everyday

And your Boss Geta is a stubbern old fool

The future is knocking on the door, and Monga is still asleep

They all call me mad dog

They are right

But l had been thinking a lot during the 3 years in prison

My boss turned me in during the Big Crackdown

That Dragon, you took on the beating

every time he screwed up

That's the kind of fate for people like us

Now the Mainlanders are asking nicely to do business with us

The proud old folks refused right on the spot

When the time comes, who's put on the frontline?

No one else but you and me

lt's guns in their hands

You really think you can fight them with a stabbing tube?

Don't feel ashamed to work with the outsiders

You really think l'll let

the Mainlanders take over Monga?

Look who's thinking for Monga

Shoot, talking is useless

Holy crap, all that wind, and now the rain

ls the typhoon really coming?

Boss Masa have a good night, come again

And you, don't run around, be good

Ah, you came for Auntie Ai as well?

Boss

Boss Geta is here with all of his Temple Front

brothers, to pay their respect

Please bless them, so that they are safe, healthy and prosperous

Homeboy, rest in peace

l swear right here, on my name

That l will find the murderer

To do your vengeance

My condolence, take care

Boss Geta

l have mobilized everyone in the Back Alley

l've also notified Taoyuan, Chungli and the South

Boss, if you can help us find him

l'd very much appreciate

We have to get A-Chung

l want him kneel in front of our boss, and pay back with his life

l'll help you find A-Chung

But we don't need to kill him

l'll find out if he's the murderer

Who knows? Maybe it's your own man

who did this, then frame him

Boss, how can you say this?

Are you saying that

our men killed our own boss?

Fuck, l'd say someone from you Temple Front killed him

Don't move!

God is watching, we all know what we did

Boss, got news from the Back Alley

They said A-Chung is spotted nearby the Watergate

Now they and the Da Dao Cheng people are all out to get him

Boss

l heard A-Chung is around Watergate

Everyone, go get him now

OK let's go

You go with them

Boss, what about you?

There's nothing to worry about, l'm on my own turf

Go, hurry

Boss, you're closing

Yeah

Everybody's out to get A-Chung, not much business around here

All of the Temple Front went?

Your Boss Geta, l think he stayed

Then please make two for me

Please

OK

Sorry, come early tomorrow

We came all the way from the South, can we just do a brief prayer?

Oh

Boss, boss

Anybody?

Anybody here?

Call the ambulance

Hurry call the ambulance

Boss

Somebody?

Call the ambulance

Anybody here?

Boss Dragon is gone

l told Dragon not to come today

lf Dragon shows up today, he will die

Those bastards want our Dragon dead

They want us dead

they want us at the Temple Front all dead

Can't you see what's happening?

l'll go find him

You stay right here

l don't want him back, l don't want him here

Don't you go get him

our Geta will understand

Madam, madam, calm down, have a seat

l don't want him back

don't bring him back

Who is it?

lt's me, me

lt's OK now

lt's me

lt's time, can't wait anymore

Who will hold the memorial tablet then?

l'll do it

Geta or Masa, take your pick

Geta

Goddamn sons of bitches

How dare you, getting all despicable in front of Master God

You two go from the back door

Go now

lf you don't kill them today

One day they'll kill you

l want them to pay with their blood

Why are you pushing me?

Motherfucker

You think we're their match?

How on Earth do you think we can do anything about it?

Boss Geta is dead, Boss Masa is dead too

Aren't you humans?

Don't you have any feelings?

Do you even have feelings?

Don't you be stirring things up

How do we revenge without knowing who did it?

lt's Wim-Kian, must be him

Everybody knows it, but no one dares to touch him

Motherfucker

No! Stop it!

Monk

Stop it, Monk

Stop it

At this point, revenge is suicide

Besides, Dragon can't stay in Monga

You three

take Dragon to the Philippines, lay low for a while

l'll stay and investigate

We need evidence

l'll stay too

Do you remember, the night Boss Geta died

You were all sent to find that A-Chung

Have you ever thought

it could just be a smoke bomb?

A-Shing

The thing, l want it done tomorrow

OK, no problem, leave it to me

Get some rest Boss, l'm heading off

Monkey is involved in an armed assault

Now the police suspects that

the gun in his possesion

is the same one that killed

the Back Alley boss

You pathetic liars

My Monkey is still at school

What did you take me here for?

l gotta hurry home

and cook for him

Fuck your sorry ass

Dragon, don't do that

Let's go

lgnore 'em

Why are they like this?

Because Monkey killed Boss Masa

Apparently Boss Geta ordered Monkey to do it

so he could take over the Back Alley

Then they in turn killed Boss Geta and Blackie

Temple Front did something like this

The gang has lost people's respect

What are you talking about?

Monkey didn't kill Boss Masa

Then you go explain to everybody

What is the reason that made

Monkey become the scapegoat?

Something to drink?

l am just here to ask you a question

Then l'm out of here

Have a seat

Hey you guys take a break, Grey Wolf Bro. has a meeting

Why did you leave my mom in the first place?

Something went wrong

Had to get away

Then why didn't you explain to her?

Because then she would have waited for me

Didn't want her to waste her youth waiting

Then, if you were given a second chance

Would you stay with her?

We only live once

l've run out of my chances

Yes

You still have a chance

lf something happens to me, please take good care of her

What are you talking about?

l'm warning you

Your mom went through hell to raise you

You owe her your life

You get me?

But Boss Geta died in my arms

l can never forget how he died in my arms

You know what?

Whichever way the wind blows

The grass bends along

When l was young l thought l was the wind

But eventually it cost me dearly

Then l realized we're all just grass

You are still young, you've got options

Go to the Philippines and lay low for a while

What's gonna happen in Monga nobody knows

l need to speak to Monk

l've made up my mind, l'll go to the Philippines too

l'll be in the Philippines for a couple months

You haven't served in the military, how do you get out of the country?

Unregistered boat

l will be back soon

l've asked Auntie how much you owe her

l'll figure out a way to get that money

When l come back

l'll get you out of here

l'll take you to the movies some time

How's that possible

lf l get caught, they'll break my legs

Auntie promised me, personally

She'll tell them that you're going for abortion

Here

Cheers

Grey Wolf, that's it then, we're heading off

Sure

Scar, see them to the door

Yes, sir

That's it

There's no problem right?

Don't worry

You need to do it nice and clean

Don't leave behind anything that'd make us lose sleep

He already agreed to get on the boat with them

And then, what are we gonna do when he's back?

Mom, l left some savings in your closet

Why in my closet?

Deposit it in the bank, and you can earn interest

Then you do it for me

Boss Geta, excuse me, please lend me your 2-feet

Bless me, and help me to find the truth

Boy, go get the car

l'm leaving everything to you

OK, take care

Let's go yeah?

Wait

Let's go pray to the Master God for a sec

What you talking this shit to me for?

l'm afraid you won't be able to explain to Sister Ling

Explain to whom?

l'm a goddamn gangster, who am l answering to?

He's not my son for God's sake

Get the car; we're going to Monga

He's not here

Oh, earlier he told me to deposit money for him

What's up with all this money?

All his regular clothes are gone

Why is the postcard l sent you

in Yi Mong's closet?

How could you keep me in the dark for so many years?

Shut the door, go shut the door

What are you doing?

Yeah, Mosquito, what you doing?

Stay where you are

l want to know something

Tell us

Are you sending us to the boat

or to Hell?

What the fuck?

There is no boat, right?

Mosquito, can you put down the knife first?

lf there's a misunderstanding, we can sort it out

There's no misunderstanding

Listen

Tonight, there is no boat but trap

Thre's no way we're getting to the Philippines

Monk

Explain, what's going on?

What's the deal?

Why did Mosquito say something like that?

What's the situation?

Mosquito, have you lost your mind?

Say it!

We swore to be brothers, at the very same place

And now one of you's putting a knife against my neck

Another one is starting to doubt me

What the fuck is this?

lf you've go the fucking guts, tell the truth in front of the Master God

lf l misunderstood you

feel free to give me a stab

But if you are the traitor who sold out the Temple Front

l want you to pay with your life

Sell out?

How could that be Monk?

Can you please stop this shit? OK?

Stop acting like this

l saw him with Wim-Kian

and Grey Wolf, with my own eyes

Your mama

Not my day

Times are changing

The outside world is changing

lf we are as stubborn as the old bosses

we'll be dead sooner or later

The entire Monga will fall into their hands

l met with Grey Wolf and Wim-Kian, was to save Monga

To save

The Temple Front

So, did you kill my dad?

You're the one who killed my dad?

Kill them

Motherfuckers

Everything l do

is for you

Have you seen Mosquito?

Go get everybody

Should we go take a look?

lf you got on the boat, then we wouldn't end up like this

Why didn't you just get on the boat?

Why are you making me do this?

Go ahead and kill me

lf you don't kill me today

l will kill you tomorrow

l never understood

what's the point in all this fighting

Now l am even more confused

You're my brother

but l have to kill you

Because this is the street

Because we're gangsters

Whoever gets in the way dies

There's no other choice

lf this were the way of the street

Then l am not a gangster

l am in this for friendship

l am in this for brotherhood

Guns are weapons for the lowly

Monk

You thought l was going to embrace you

So you opened your arms

At that moment

You chose to believe in me, didn't you?

You thought you were in this as a gangster

But like me, you're here for friendship and brotherhood, too

You thought Geta was a decent man?

He wanted to become the Boss

So he chopped off my dad's arm

Did you know how he treated his brothers?

What's good in the cinema lately?

Dumb Recruit is pretty funny

Really

Mosquito, are you OK?

Dragon, Dragon

Hurry, let's go

Dragon

Look, something happened

Go look for some guy called Mosquito

Where's my ear?

Some say

Joining the gang is like getting a bad lot

You end up either living in exile

Or getting brutally murdered on the streets

But that year, me and my brothers

we all believed joining the gang

using violence to gain control

was the way to rule

The only way for survival

Why do the four of you want to recruit me?

Because it takes five fingers

to form a fist

''Monga, in Ketagalan (aboriginal tribe lived in Taipei) dialect, means canoe.
