Grandpa.

Frank, you're home.

Are you hungry?

No? Of course you are.

I�ll get you a biscuit.

Mr. Yau, may I have a biscuit.

A biscuit? Sure thing.

Grandpa, I saw a huge eagle today.

I wanted to hunt it down for you.

No, don't. Why not?

The eagle's claws are sharp. They�ll hurt you easily.

Don't worry. Look at me.

Not bad. Of course.

Frank, your biscuit.

Thank you.

Sam, you're lucky to have Frank.

Lucky?

Not compared to your opera days.

Oh no. But Frank is so helpful.

I�m happy for you.

Grandpa, you eat.

No, you eat.

I�m not hungry. You eat it.

Frank.

Grandpa, Polly is calling me.

Polly, is your mom feeling better?

I want to gather some firewood while she's asleep.

Can you watch her?

I�ll gather the firewood for you.

You keep an eye on your mom.

What's that noise?

Frank, what was that?

I don't know.

What's going on?

It�s the police.

Quick, get inside.

What? Dickson Fan has escaped?

What are we going to do? Is this true?

Yes. Didn't you hear the gunshots?

We went after him. I�m think he�ll come after us.

Dammit. What are we going to do?

Don't panic. Find out what's going on.

Get the servants to Lock the doors.

What are you doing here?

Help! Help me!

Shut up or I�ll kill you!

I . . . I�m just g-g-gathering firewood.

Please let . . . let me go.

Gathering firewood?

Did you see the police?

Yes. They're everywhere.

Take me up the hill to hide. Hurry.

I�m exhausted. Help me.

There are no houses up on the hill.

Only a temple.

Is there anyone there?

No, there's never anyone there?

Good. Help me up there.

What took you so long? What's going on?

I just spoke to the sheriff.

He said Fan is hiding in the village.

Have they recaptured him?

Not yet,

but there are guards stationed everywhere.

How does the sheriff know he's still here?

He said he was wearing ankle cuffs.

So he couldn�t have run fast.

He may even have a bullet wound.

Fortunately for us.

If he gets away, he�ll come after you.

So you better be careful.

Because it was your testimonies that put him away.

He will take revenge on the two of you.

I know. When l heard he had escaped, l was petrified.

So was l. My heart's still racing.

If they don't catch him, we�ll never rest.

I know.

You two are such spineless cowards.

Was he wearing ankle cuffs?

The sheriff said he was.

Was he really injured?

The sheriff said he was.

He is? I think so.

Then I have a plan.

You stay here. Tell the servants to Lock up

and watch the doors closely.

You follow me. We�ll go see the sheriff.

Now that I brought you here, can you let me go now?

Just a minute.

What are you standing around for?

Find something to get these cuffs off!

All right.

There are no tools here.

Come here.

Come on.

Use this rock to break the cuffs.

I didn't mean to--

Please . . . let me go.

My grandpa is waiting for me.

If I don't go home,

he�ll come looking for me.

Your grandpa? Where is he?

In the village at the base of the hill.

What does he do?

Blacksmith.

A blacksmith?

Is there a hammer and chisel at home?

Yes.

- Then go home and bring them here. - Okay.

Wait.

A few things.

First, bring me a hammer and chisel.

Second, bring me some rice and tea.

Third, come back before midnight.

Understand?

I understand.

Wait.

- What did I say? -You said.

Repeat it back to me.

First, bring me a hammer and chisel.

Second, bring me some rice and tea.

Third, come back before midnight.

Go.

Listen, don't you dare Tell anybody you saw me,

no matter who asks, got me?

Yes.

Otherwise, I�ll crush your skull,

and I�ll kill your grandfather too.

Understand?

Yes.

- Really understand? - Yes.

If Fan is wearing ankle cuffs,

he couldn�t have gotten very far.

Mr. Toh, don't worry. I have guards everywhere.

He won't get far. He must be hiding nearby.

Hold it, kid.

Why's that kid gathering firewood at this hour?

Who is he?

That's the blacksmith's grandchild.

Where are you going, boy?

I was gathering firewood in the hills.

This late? Gathering firewood?

Did you see the convict named Dickson Fan.

No, I didn't see him.

You didn't see him?

No.

I think you did. Tell me.

I�ll give you ten dollars.

Did you see him?

Tell me and you can have it.

No. I said I didn't.

I gather firewood up there everyday.

You sure?

I�m sure.

Go.

You shouldn�t let Frank gather wood right now,

It�s dangerous.

Don't worry.

The convict is Dr. Dickson Fan.

He'd never hurt my grandson.

He's back.

Frank,

you brought Polly the firewood?

Go and get yourself cleaned up.

What happened to Dr. Fan was unjust.

Remember when my wife got sick.

Dr. Fan visited her every day for a month.

He cured her and wouldn�t take money from us.

Same goes for my son.

If it weren't for Dr. Fan, my son

would have been reincarnated by now.

Dr. Fan Helped me too.

Since he was framed and went to jail,

the villagers have really suffered for it.

When we got sick, that Jack Toh took over--

Of course, Dr. Fan was better.

His escape . . .

. . . I�ll crush your skull

and I�ll kill your grandfather too.

Grandpa?

- Who's there? - It�s me.

- Who are you? - It�s me. Open up,

Did anyone see you coming up here?

No.

Did anyone see you when you went down?

No.

Anyone question you?

No.

Where's the rice?

Tea?

Where is the hammer and chisel?

I have it.

Give it here.

Come here. You do it.

Why is the door open?

Old Wong!

Sheriff? What's the matter?

What's the matter?

Old Wong, are you harboring the fugitive Dickson Fan?

Dr. Fan? No.

You may search my house if you like?

Fine. Search the house.

Sheriff, there's no one here.

Old Wong, where's your grandson?

Wha--? Frank! Frank!

Stop pretending.

Where did you Tell him to go?

I don't know. I was asleep.

Frank!

Stop calling him. You don't know?

Sheriff, his grandson has gone to warn the convict.

He must know where he is.

I don't know.

Never mind. Come with me.

Has anyone come through?

No, sir.

Wong, if you know anything, you better Tell us,

Otherwise, you're in trouble.

If I knew,

I would have told you back at the house.

Frank!

Are you going to warn him?

Why is there a child�s shoe here?

This is Frank's shoe. Why--?

This is evidence. Your grandson must have warned him.

Everyone, come with me.

Kid, you're a good boy.

So can I go now?

Yeah. And I�m going too.

You idiot! You brought them up here!

You want to die?

No, I didn't say anything.

No? Then why are they here?

Damn you, kid. Pretty sly for your age.

You brought them up here to get me!

I Tell you, if I don't make it, you better pray you die.

Because I�m not dying by myself.

I think the convict is inside.

Hey! You in there! You can't get away!

Better give yourself up or we're coming in.

I�m not giving up.

I�ll kill the boy.

If you don't care, then come on in.

We could force him out with some tear gas,

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Frank! Frank!

Sheriff, throw another one.

Please don't . . . My grandson is in there.

Frank!

Grandpa! Grandpa!

Frank! Frank!

- Grandpa! - Frank!

Grandpa!

- Grandpa! - Frank!

Hey, your name is Frank?

Yes. Grandpa!

Who gave you this name?

My grandpa said he adopted me after my mother died.

He said my father gave me this name.

How Old are you?

Ten years Old.

You really are Frank.

Your mother's dead.

Yes, I�ve never met my mother.

Frank.

Grandpa!

Please let me go. My grandpa is calling Me,

Please.

Frank, I�ll let you go.

I�ll definitely let you go.

You have three minutes,

then we're coming in.

Three minutes.

Frank, don't be afraid.

I�ll let you go.

We have three minutes.

Let me look at you.

Frank, have you ever thought about your father?

Yes, I often think of my mom and dad.

But I can't see them.

One minute.

Don't think about your dad anymore.

You�ll never see him again.

Stay with your grandpa.

You must work hard and go to school.

When you grow up, study medicine

just like your father.

And always Help the poor.

You knew my father?

Yes, I knew him.

Your father was framed by bad people

and sent to jail for ten years.

For ten years, he thought about you.

He wanted to see you, but . . .

But he's dead.

What? Oh yes, he's dead.

I have no money for school.

Grandpa wants me to be a blacksmith.

Two minutes.

Frank, don't leave.

Don't leave. We have one minute left.

Grandpa!

Frank!

Go.

You lose. Drink up.

Sir, someone here to see you.

Says it's important.

You all go ahead and eat. I�ll be right back.

Old Wong, what do you want?

Polly's mother is deathly ill. She needs your Help.

Ill? Then go to the hospital.

The hospital won't take her in.

Why not?

Because she doesn't have any money.

No money? Then don't go.

You need money to go to the hospital.

But it's your hospital. You're the chairman.

Please let her into the hospital

while we raise the money.

You're the chairman. They�ll take her if you say the word.

Don't bother me at my birthday party.

Get out of my way.

Please Help us. Please Help us.

Shut up or I�ll have you arrested.

Sir, telephone call for you.

Hello?

Speaking.

Yes, sheriff.

What? Fan escaped again?

How did he get away?

When did you take him into town?

All right. All right.

Joseph, open the door.

Who is it?

It�s me. Dickson Fan.

You're Dickson Fan?

Yes, open up.

Joseph.

It is you. What happened?

I�m hurt. Help me.

Thank you.

Jack Toh, you destroyed my family.

If I can't have my revenge on you.

I will kill you another day.

Lower your voice. The walls are thin.

Toh is a powerful man in the village.

You can't avenge him alone.

I�m Telling you to think clearly.

How can I watch him get away?

I cannot. I�ll fight him to the death.

Calm down.

Think this through.

If you fight him, what will happen to your son?

That's what I can't figure out.

Help me come up with a plan.

Yes, let's talk this over, Calmly.

Let me ask you something.

What goals do you have for your son?

I want him to be a good doctor.

Good. If he becomes a good doctor,

then he can fulfill your dreams.

If he opens up a hospital,

he can compete with Toh's hospital.

Yes, Toh framed me ten years ago.

He believed I was an orphan,

thought I would open up a hospital for the poor

to compete with him.

I�ll be happy if my son grows up,

and does this.

Then you must find a way

to educate Frank.

Educate Frank? How?

I can't even claim him back now.

How's he doing with Old Wong?

Old Wong seems to love him.

Then let him stay with Wong.

No. Wong is a blacksmith

and can't afford to send him to school.

You can send him money.

Send him money?

What if Toh finds out?

We can send it anonymously.

Anonymously

. . . but how?

I�m an escaped convict. I can't work?

Even if I work, how can I send money?

I�ve already thought of that.

My sister has a pharmacy in town.

You can work for her.

Mom . . . Mom . . . Mom!

Mom . . . Mom!

Polly, come here. Don't cry.

Sam, we�ll have to make arrangements

for her mother's funeral.

Of course. We're neighbors after All.

Let's pool our funds together.

Polly is so young.

What will happen to her?

What can we do?

She has no relatives.

She should stay with me.

That's a good plan.

Her life is in your hands now.

It�s all because of Toh's hospital.

Polly's mother would still be Alive.

Frank,

I wanted you to become a blacksmith,

but this isn't possible now.

No matter how difficult it will be,

I must send you to medical school.

Yes, the convict in the temple said

I must become a good doctor.

He's right. When you grow up,

you must become a good doctor.

Once more from the top, okay?

Frank, you want to learn to sing?

No, I want to become a doctor.

Pardon me, sir,

is there a Mr. Sam Wong around here?

Sam Wong? He lives over there.

Sam, someone here to see you.

Please wait a minute.

Who is it?

This man here.

Yes sir?

- You're Sam Wong? - Yes.

Someone has sent you money.

Sent me money? Who?

He left no name.

No name? Where did this come from?

From the city.

The city? I don't know anyone in the city.

Who would send me money?

It�s specifically for Frank's education.

Frank, someone sent you money?

I�m Frank.

You're Frank?

Here's 800 dollars. Please sign here.

No, no. We don't know who sent it.

Maybe it's for someone with the same name,

You'd better find out first.

What's going on?

Someone sent me money for Frank's education.

But we don't know who it's from.

It�s yours. Take the money.

That's right. You need money for Frank's education.

Just take it.

Grandpa, I want to go to school.

You do? Then take the money.

Is it really for me?

If you are Sam Wong then it's for you.

Yes, that's me.

Please come inside. I�ll let me sign for it.

There must be some connection

between Dickson Fan and Frank.

For one thing, Fan got caught before because of Frank.

Now, someone has sent Frank money for school.

Who else can it be other than Fan?

That's right. I thought of that too.

If we follow Frank, we can find Fan.

That's easy.

Frank will be going to school very soon.

Since his daughter Rainbow is going to school too,

you can follow her into the city.

Take care of Rainbow and keep an eye out for Fan.

That's right.

Find out when Frank is leaving,

then you go with Rainbow.

Uncle Yau is going with you to town.

He�ll leave you when you get there.

Behave yourself in the dormitory.

Study hard.

And put on a sweater if it gets cold, All right?

Yes, Grandpa.

Polly, I�m going to school now.

Help me look after Grandpa.

Okay.

Old Wong.

Mr. Toh.

So Frank is off to school?

Yes he is.

I always knew he was a smart boy,

but my Help came too late.

My daughter is going to school in the city too.

You're going to school too?

If you can go, why can't I go?

Don't be rude.

Daddy, I want to eat.

You want to eat. Let's go get a bite now.

Excuse me.

Sam,

I think the money came from Toh.

Him? He would never. I don't believe it.

No? No one has money in our village.

Don't be ridiculous.

Why would he need to wire me money from the city?

Well, he may want to redeem himself

but he doesn't want to use his name.

I don't believe it.

No? Didn't you hear what he just said?

He wanted to Help Frank but it was too late.

Grandpa, here comes the train.

Quickly, let's go.

Grandpa! Uncle Yau!

Frank, you're so tall.

I almost didn't recognize you.

Polly, say hello.

Greet him.

Hello, Frank.

Polly, you've grown so much.

You have grown. So of course, Polly has too.

Let's go home.

Come, Grandpa.

Daddy.

Have a seat, miss.

Was the train ride tiring?

No.

Dear, you've been Frank's classmate for a long time.

What do you think of him?

He's very smart and works very hard.

He's ranked number one every semester.

He tutors me all the time.

But he wears the same school uniform every day.

In all the time you've known him,

have he seen any visitors?

I�ve never seen him with any visitors.

What's the matter, Daddy?

Nothing.

Sir, dinner is ready.

Let's eat.

My how he's grown.

You must be proud that he graduated.

It�s not enough that I�m Pleased.

Everyone should be Pleased.

Okay, enough talk.

Let's drink.

Grandpa, you've had too much.

Don't worry. It�s a joyous occasion.

I won't get drunk.

Cheers.

Who's that?

Is Mr. Sam Wong here?

That's me. What's the matter?

My name is Chan.

I�m here to deliver some money.

Money? And a personal delivery too?

Yes, and the donor specified that the money

can Only be used after Frank finishes medical school.

This is Frank. He just arrived home

- You're Mr. Frank Wong. - Yes, and you are.

Joseph Chan.

Mr. Chan.

He always wanted to be a doctor

and we wanted him to study medicine.

That's good.

Mr. Wong, here's $5600.

Please sign the receipt.

So much? We don't need this much.

Oh yes you do. For his studies.

The donor wishes Mr. Wong to concentrate on school

and has sent you this entire sum.

The donor is too kind.

Who is he?

He doesn't wish to reveal his identity now.

Don't worry.

Just study hard.

Does the donor have anything to do with Jack Toh?

Of course he does.

I have to go.

Can you Please sign.

Thank you very much.

I�ll be off then.

Take care.

Goodbye.

Mr. Chan, can you leave me your card?

Of course. Please visit when you have time.

- Yes. Of course. - Goodbye.

You see. I told you the money came from Toh.

Who else could it have been?

I suspect it was him too.

Who else would have so much money?

Then you should thank him.

Then I�ll go tomorrow.

Mr. Chan brought me $5600 and said

the money has to do with you.

So I�ve come to thank you.

Mr. Toh,

all these years, you've paid for my schooling.

I don't know how to thank you.

But my family is curious.

Why did you choose to remain anonymous?

It�s just that our chairman doesn't like publicizing

his charitable gestures.

And we didn't want to hurt your pride.

That's why.

You're too generous.

I don't know how to thank you.

Think nothing of it.

Please don't Tell anyone.

Just keep it to yourself.

Yes, I know.

What do you want to study?

Didn't you ask Mr. Chan to Tell me to study medicine?

Yes.

I was afraid Mr. Chan might forget.

I�m Pleased you want to study medicine.

Frank, you're here.

Yes, I came to see Mr. Toh.

Please sit down.

Rainbow, this is Frank's first visit to our home.

Show him around.

Frank, the peacock in our garden is lovely.

Let me show you.

Mr. Toh, may I be excused?

Please make yourself at home. Stay for dinner.

Thank you.

Let's go.

That was close. We almost blew it.

Lucky he came to us.

So how can we use him to find Fan?

I have a plan.

Now that he thinks we're his patrons,

he will be good to Rainbow.

Since she's studying medicine too,

let them study as before.

And I will follow them as before.

If Frank is indeed Dickson Fan's son,

Fan will definitely visit him.

If he does, then we have a chance.

You're going again? You've been doing this for ten years.

Let me go this time.

You?

No, it's a good idea.

Think of some way to find Fan.

Don't worry, I�ll find a way.

Polly.

Grandpa? You're up.

Yes.

Didn't you sleep?

I want to finish Frank's sweater.

Polly, come here.

Yes, Grandpa?

Seeing the two of you like this, I am truly happy.

It�s worth all my hard work all these years.

In the past ten years, I�ve Only had two dreams.

One was for Frank to become a doctor

to Help the poor.

The second was, if Frank is successful,

I want you two to get married.

If I can see that day,

it would make me a very happy man.

What do you think, Polly?

I don't know what Frank thinks.

Frank, put this on if it gets cold.

Thank you.

Excuse me, Grandpa.

Thank you.

Frank, you just concentrate on your studies.

I�ll take care of Grandpa.

Uncle Yau says I�m ready to go out and sing.

If I can earn money, he can retire.

Polly, this is difficult for you.

When I graduate, I�ll give you and Grandpa many happy days.

Sam, good morning.

We knew Frank was leaving today,

so we brought him some food for his trip.

Thank you.

Hey, you're here early.

You shouldn�t have.

You concentrate on school.

Don't worry about home.

I�ve already arranged for Polly to sing at the tea house.

So don't you worry.

Frank, you must work hard.

Thank you for your kindness.

I�ll study very hard.

And when I graduate, I�ll come back and serve the village.

That's what we've been waiting to hear.

Frank, it's time. I�ll see you off.

Grandpa, you don't have to.

No trouble at All.

Frank, let's go.

No, you didn't sleep last night.

But I always see you off at the station.

Then let's all go.

Hard work leads to success.

Idleness wastes time.

Treasure time

so as not to waste effort.

Be kind to others, never callous.

Hard work must not be delayed.

Time passed will not return.

I hope my love will heed my advice.

Frank, you're always working.

You could have a breakdown.

I won't.

I don't care if you're working.

I want you to go out with me.

You go ahead. I�m busy.

I�ve asked you a hundred times and you never want to go.

You go. I really am busy.

I don't care. If you don't go with me,

I�ll never speak to you again.

Fine. I�ll go.

You're going like that?

Where are we going?

Dancing.

- Dancing? - Where's the suit I gave you?

In there. I never wore it.

Come on, get changed.

Miss Toh, how much is the wine here?

I�ll bet it's expensive.

It doesn't matter, silly. It�s my treat.

Still,

I shouldn�t be here.

You're going to be a doctor.

If you don't come here and meet more people,

how will your career develop?

You can't hide away at home.

But my grandfather wants me to go back to the village.

You're silly. What's in the village?

If you want to prosper,

you have to be in the city.

I should return to the village.

I�m from the village

and there are no doctors there right now.

Of course there are doctors there.

My father has a hospital there.

I�ve thought about that . . .

Let's stop talking and dance.

I don't know how. I Only had a few lessons.

I�ll teach you.

When you leave,

I miss in my dreams.

I miss the full moon in the autumn.

I wish upon the moon.

Wishing he�ll learn his craft

and come back to me someday.

I hope he remembers our destined union.

Remembers that I sang for a living.

Year after year.

Dickson, I have some good news.

What good news? Is it about Frank?

Yes, he just submitted his graduating thesis.

He will graduate in six months.

That's great.

I saved thousands of dollars in the bank for him

to start a business in the village.

Then You�ll have no worries.

Yes, that's true.

Before he goes back,

let me bring him here to see you.

No.

Why not?

I�m an ex-con.

I don't want my son to see his father this way,

It will hurt his pride.

I will see him in secret one day.

Dickson, you are truly generous.

I�ll Help you.

Mr. Chan. There's a Mr. Wong to see you.

Ask him to wait outside. I�ll be right there.

Yes, sir.

Is Frank here?

Yes, I�ll speak to him.

You can watch from the door. Don't make a sound.

Frank.

Mr. Chan.

- Congratulations on your graduation. - Thank you.

Please sit down.

What did you want to speak to me about?

The donor wants me to ask you

what your plans are after graduation.

Not much of a plan to speak of.

Grandpa wants me to come home to start a business.

That's perfect. If you're willing to do that,

the donor will Help you further.

I can't thank you enough.

I hope that I�ll make you proud.

That's great. The money is ready.

Just write him a proposal and he�ll give you the money

when he approves it.

Then I�ll go back home, discuss it with my grandpa,

and prepare the proposal for you.

Then send it to me this week.

Great. I�ll be off then. Goodbye.

Very good.

Dickson.

What are you doing?

I got a little excited.

That's dangerous.

Wait until tonight.

I�ll see you out through the back.

Where is that train?

It should be here by now.

It will be great when he comes back to the village.

Uncle Yau, will Frank be Pleased with our reception?

Of course, just like the Old days

when students passed the emperor's civil service exam.

Here comes the train.

Play the music.

Light the firecrackers.

Grandpa!

Frank, I�ve been longing for this day.

Let's go inside first.

So festive.

Sit. Sit.

Did you know your Uncles and Polly went to the station

at the crack of dawn to pick you up.

This is a great honor.

Thank you all very much.

I came home

to open a village hospital.

The donor has given me additional funds.

From now on, I can serve you All.

We knew you were coming home today

so we cleaned up the family estate

to become your hospital.

I told the folks at the teahouse

that since we have a doctor,

they won't ever have to worry

about being sick again.

Everyone is so happy. Right, Polly?

Yes, it's true, Frank. Everyone's happy.

I should get Douglas to be your intern,

so he can learn from you.

Uncle Sonny, you're too kind.

Oh, it will be good for him.

Hey, I have an idea.

You�ll celebrate with us here tonight.

Tomorrow, we�ll take you out for dinner and celebration.

No, no. You're too kind.

You followed Frank for eight years.

What did you accomplish?

I tried everything, and found nothing.

Maybe the money is not from Fan.

Who else could it be?

I have the best plan.

What's that?

I�ll Tell you. Remember what we did twenty-five years ago?

When we used Dr. Fan to sell fake medicine.

I can do the same thing with Frank.

If Fan finds out, he�ll come out to Help him.

Even if we fall, Frank will be used to earn me some money,

Like killing two birds with one stone. What do you think?

Good plan.

Bring Frank here immediately.

Frank, what do you want for dinner?

Yes, Tell Polly what you want to eat.

Please don't fuss.

I�m saddened that you had to live like this

while I was at school all these years.

It wasn't that difficult.

I�m getting Old.

Can't work much anymore.

For the last two years,

Polly has been supporting me with her singing.

You must remember to be good to her.

Yes, Grandpa.

Mr. Toh has promised me

a sum of $30,000 for the hospital.

We will live comfortably together from now on,

Frank.

Uncle Kwai.

Mr. Wong.

Nice to see you.

Mr. Toh and Miss Toh need to talk to you.

It�s really important.

Oh, I better get going then.

Great.

Grandpa, I�m going to see Mr. Toh.

Hurry back.

We�ll wait for you for dinner.

Polly, buy something for dinner.

I will, Grandpa.

I saved up some money for a whole chicken.

Good. Good.

Please eat. Don't be modest. Eat.

Polly, is he back yet?

No. If you're hungry, go ahead and eat first.

No, this was made for him. We should wait.

How can he be so thoughtless?

Good night, everyone.

Mr. Toh, I�ll take my leave now.

It�s early. Don't go yet.

Let's chat a bit.

Bring some fruits for Frank.

Don't go yet, okay?

Come, sit. I have something to ask you.

Yes, Mr. Toh.

What sort of plans do you have now?

Didn't Mr. Chan Tell you my plans to build a hospital?

You mean Fat Mr. Chan?

Yes.

That . . . I -

- Have some oranges and apples. - Thank you.

I wanted you to open a hospital in the village.

Daddy, you already have one here.

What would be the point of opening another one?

You're right. There would be no point.

Mr. Toh. What are your plans?

I want to find a two-story building in the city,

with a clinic, a pharmacy and hire you as manager,

That's perfect, Daddy.

Frank is interested in pharmacology. It�s perfect, Frank.

Really? Pharmacology, huh?

Yes. He's discovered a new drug.

Oh, really?

No, I�m still in the research stage.

Don't exaggerate.

How would I know?

all I know is you're working very hard.

I thought you'd already succeeded.

I just invented a new drug too.

But I don't want to use my name.

You can be the manufacturer in name.

Frank, working in the city is very prosperous,

I know that it is.

I would love to manage my own pharmacy.

It would be great . . . but

But what could be the problem?

It�s not a problem.

But I promised my grandfather I'd serve the village.

How can I explain the change of plan?

Frank, I don't understand you.

It�s fruitless to work in the village.

There's no money. It�s hard work

and there's nowhere to go for fun.

It�s too stressful

Rainbow is right.

Being a doctor is stressful enough.

You have to take care of the pharmacy as Well.

Without leisure, what will you do?

And what kind of money will you make in the village?

That's right.

You can do anything with money, Frank.

You�ll be wasted in the village.

You must remember.

I paid for your education.

Opening a hospital in the village will not be prosperous,

I Tell you, you're an educated man.

If you open a village hospital,

You�ll be competing directly with me.

Listen to me. You know I�m right.

That's right. Listen to my father.

If you stay in the village,

I can't Help you.

Frank, go to the city.

Right.

All right. Mr. Toh, I�ll do as you say.

That's great. You do that.

Now go home and start packing.

I�ll go home and Tell my grandfather right now,

If you need money I�ll give some to you through Rainbow.

Grandpa, Frank is home.

Oh, yes? Let's start dinner.

Grandpa.

Why are you so late?

Polly cooked a chicken for you.

It�s cold now. Sit and eat.

You eat. I already ate at Mr. Toh's.

Put the chicken away for Frank tomorrow.

Grandpa, you go ahead and eat.

No, this was for you.

Polly bought it especially for you.

Put it away.

I have to go to the city tomorrow.

So soon?

But your Uncles want to celebrate with you tomorrow.

Are you going to get money from Mr. Chan for the hospital?

No, I�ve changed my plans.

Mr. Toh wants me to the city to open a pharmacy.

But you promised the villagers to open up a hospital here.

I didn't know he had another plan.

In the city, Mr. Chan told me

he wanted me to serve the village.

How can Jack Toh be so capricious?

You�ll lose face with the villagers.

You must keep your promises.

I don't know what to do.

Don't know what to do?

You're a grown man. You can make your own decisions.

Can't you refuse Jack Toh?

I�ve thought about this.

I have no financial foundation.

No money. No hospital.

Why not? You can raise money together

with the villagers.

You can open a smaller hospital.

Grandpa is right.

The folks all want you to open a hospital here.

Mr. Toh has a hospital here.

Jack Toh's hospital?

Don't you remember how Polly's mother died?

Don't you remember you said then

you'd become a good doctor when you grew up?

Why do you Only listen to him now?

Grandpa, he gave me money to study.

Now he gives me money to open a business.

I owe everything I have to him.

How can I open a hospital to compete with him?

You Only remember Mr. Toh.

Forgotten how your grandfather struggled to support you.

Forgotten how the villagers had such hopes for you.

I remember.

I must repay Mr. Toh.

I have no choice. I must go.

I�ll send money back to you.

So your mind is made up?

Fine. I don't need you!

Go. Get out of here!

Dickson. Dickson.

Didn't you ask Frank for a proposal to open a hospital?

Yes, so?

He must have changed his plans.

Look.

Did you buy this drug?

I did some analysis on this drug.

The ingredients are all wrong.

Not Only doesn't it Help, but it's hazardous to your health.

If the authorities find out, Frank will be in big trouble.

This is Jack Toh's doing. Couldn�t find you all these years,

so he framed your son using the same scam,

I can't believe Jack Toh would use the same Old trick

he used twenty-five years ago on my son.

No, not again! I want to see him now.

Don't be so hasty.

I already wrote Frank a letter.

Once he realizes what's going on, he will act accordingly.

If you go, You�ll walk into Toh's trap.

I�m not afraid of him.

I�ve been in hiding for twenty-five years.

It�s time we settle this once and for All.

Frank, you've been looking for me?

Look, none of these drugs are real.

Well, that's business.

Pharmacy isn't like any other businesses.

Nobody will know if you don't Tell.

Somebody does know.

See? He is writing me.

It�s a bluff. Ignore him.

I�ll take care of it.

You�ll take care of it?

If the authorities find out, there will be trouble.

I quit.

How can you quit?

You are the named manufacturer.

I am Only the named manufacturer. You produced the drug.

Being the named manufacturer means you are responsible.

You want me to die?

Why would I want that?

You want money, but you're a coward.

This won't do. Just cooperate with me.

When this drug makes money,

you won't have to work ever again.

I'd rather be poor. I won't do it.

Poor? You're dating my daughter.

You want to marry her, don't you?

She spends 5000 dollars a month.

Can you afford that?

I don't want anything. Just take my name off the product.

Not so easy. I spent a lot of money.

Fine, I�ll pay you back.

All right. You owe me 100,000 dollars.

Well? Do you have it? 100,000 dollars.

I don't have that kind of money.

Then you have to work for me.

I won't do it. I won't harm people.

No? Then I�ll call the police.

I�ll Tell them you produced fake drugs. And You�ll go to jail.

I'd rather go to jail.

You don't fear prison?

Young man, you are so na�ve.

It�s not just prison time.

If this gets out, you will be shunned by society.

When you get out of jail,

you won't have any reputation to speak of.

You will have nothing.

Mr. Wong, there's a mob outside saying our drugs are useless.

What should I do?

Get back out there.

Who's there?

It�s me.

Who are you?

You don't remember me from fifteen years ago?

From the temple on the hill?

The temple?

You're that escaped convict.

What do you want?

I want to see you.

Get out. I have nothing to do with you.

Nothing?

Who paid for your education?

That's none of your business. You're a convict.

Get out!

I�m already in a lot of trouble.

Why are you bothering me now?

Oh, you want to kill yourself.

Is that any way to solve your problem?

Are you trying to bribe me?

Bribe you?

Yes, how much do you want?

I was about to ask you how much you took from me?

I took your money? What a joke!

When you first went to school, did you receive 800 dollars?

Yes.

You received 1 000 dollars every year for six years?

Yes.

When you went to college, did you receive 5600 dollars?

Yes, but that's got nothing to do with you.

Do you know who gave you the money?

I don't have to Tell you.

Then I will Tell you.

The person who gave you money was me.

You gave me money?

You're an escaped convict.

I Tell you it was Jack Toh who gave me the money,

Why do you think it was Jack Toh?

He is the Only rich man around here.

Let me say this once and for All. Stop this nonsense,

Get out of here!

Go.

Mr. Chan, this man claims

he gave me money for my education.

Yes, that's right.

Him?

Who is he?

You�ll never guess.

He is your father.

He's my father?

Twenty-five years ago, Toh framed your father

the same way he's framing you now.

He received a twenty year sentence.

Fifteen years ago, he escaped.

He saw you at the temple, remember?

Then he wanted to support you,

paid for your education.

He didn't want to hurt your pride

so he never revealed himself.

We couldn�t believe Jack Toh is now

using this opportunity to destroy you.

He is the devil.

He framed your father, killed your mother.

Now he wants to destroy you.

He's a shameless criminal.

Frank.

Father.

Frank, to become a good doctor

you must serve more than one or two.

You must serve the public.

When you graduated, Mr. Chan told me

you wanted to go back to the village to be their doctor

to Help the villagers.

I was so happy when I heard that.

That my efforts were not wasted.

It fulfilled my dreams.

Then without consulting anyone, you sold Toh's fake drugs.

Even though he framed you, you were tempted by wealth.

to end up where you are today.

Just now, you wanted to die.

That's no way to solve the problem.

You must live with a purpose

and die with honor.

Happy birthday, Mr. Chairman.

Let's all drink a toast to his health.

Cheers.

Thank you. Thank you All.

Daddy, I drink to your health.

To a long and prosperous life.

Good girl.

Jack Toh.

Frank.

Jack Toh.

- Frank, what is it? - Get away,

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have some shocking news to tell all of you,

Frank . . . Frank.

Jack Toh is selling fake drugs.

Frank, are you crazy?

He betrays me.

I am betraying you?

Who paid for your education?

How dare you ask me that?

Because you used me, I nearly killed myself.

Used you? Why would I throw money away?

Jack Toh, stop play-acting.

The person who supported me was not you,

Who was it then?

It was my father - Dickson Fan.

Sam.

Frank is at Jack Toh's home.

Toh won't let him go.

Then what should we do?

I�ve come to ask the villagers to Help us.

Let's go then.

Sonny, come out here!

Everybody out!

What's going on?

Jack Toh has framed Frank.

We have to Help him.

Come on, let's go!

Stop laughing!

Twenty-five years ago, you framed my father.

You sent my father up the river

and drove my mother to her death.

If it weren't for my grandfather, I'd be dead too.

That's not true.

Frank, don't say things that are not true.

Of course it's true.

Get him. Get him!

Stay where you are.

Get him. Don't be afraid.

Get him.

Get him.

Don't come near me. I�ll kill you.

Hold him.

Stop struggling, Frank.

Who do you think you are?

So Dickson Fan is your father?

Let him save you if he's still alive.

Jack Toh! Dickson Fan is still alive!

Listen, everyone.

Jack Toh sold fake drugs to frame my son.

He produced this harmful drug.

Daddy, did you really do this?

None of your business. Go back inside!

Dickson Fan. Yes, I sell fake drugs.

But you're an escaped convict.

Come on, men. Get him.

Stop!

Yes, I�m an escaped convict.

I wouldn�t come here if I were afraid to.

I don't frame people with fake drugs.

Today, we will settle everything once and for All.

I�m getting even for the last twenty-five years,

How do you want to settle this?

How? Want to die?

Father! Father!

Frank.

Father.

Frank,

Tell me.

How do you become a good doctor?

He does not serve himself.

Or one person or two.

He serves the public.

That's right.

I have nothing more to say.

Frank, you must do as you've just said.

Be a good doctor.

I�m an escaped convict.

Even if I don't die,

The law will punish me.

But I know I will rest in peace.

Father.

Father.

Father.

The End
