Ching Ching.

Just go home.

You've been waiting here a long time.

I want to keep waiting.

There's no point.

I already told you,

Man Kor left Shanghai already.

I don't believe it.

The truth is plain to see.

He wouldn't be so cruel.

Even if he had to leave,
he'd see me one last time.

Man Kor is so lucky.

Lik, just leave.

I want to keep you company.

I might be waiting here forever.

I'll still keep you company.

Lik, just tell me then.

Where did Man Keung go?

He already left Shanghai.

He's never coming back.

He'd really be so heartless?

When a person runs out of options...

You can't really consider that heartless.

Let's go back.

That's great.
Let's go.

With you here, even if Man Keung comes,

he won't come out and see me anyway.

Friend, your complexion is sallow
and your eyes are jaundiced.

You must have an internal injury.

You don't believe me?

You must have fought with someone,

or been injured without knowing it.

Come, come.

You can completely disregard my words,

but the curative powers of my special pills,

you must believe in them.

Here, look...

- Grandpa, are you looking for this bottle?
- Oh, yeah, yeah.

Here, here.

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, Buddy.
Buddy...

If you don't address your internal injury,

you might not survive the year.

- Boss.
- Yeah?

Life and death are predetermined...

I'm not particularly worried.

Hey, hey!
Hey...

No sale again?

Sir, come in.

There's a table inside.

This way please.
There's a table there.

- Here is fine. Here is fine.
- Right here. Right here.

What do you want to order, Boss?

Two bowls of plain noodles,
one without veggies.

Oh, okay.

Two bowls of plain noodles,
one without veggies.

Be careful when you're eating.

Don't break the bowl.
I can't pay for it.

Got it.

You eat a few pennies worth of noodles
and take the whole bottle of soy sauce.

Get over it, Buddy.

Even if this place loses money,
it's none of your business.

I'm leaving.

Oh, you're leaving?

- Total is 1.8 chin.
- 1.8 chin.

Are you trying to kill me?

I'm just borrowing one.

Don't do that...

Waiter!

- You want the bill?
- Yes.

How much is it?

Oh, Sir.

It will be 1.44 chin.

Please, Sir.

- 1.44 chin.
- Wait!

- Don't clear it away!
- Oh, don't?

Here.
Grandpa, you can have your hair back.

You have hair, too.
Why don't you use your own?

It hurts a lot to pull my hair out.

Huh?
Are you new to the area?

We stopped using these Chinese coins
over ten years ago.

Pay with Hong Kong currency.

Boss, I don't have any.

What?

Are there are any banks
or money exchanges nearby?

Go up two streets and turn
onto Nathan Road.

There's one there.

Boss, how about I go exchange money
and then pay you later?

Later?

You're a complete stranger.
How do I know you'll come back?

Can you send an employee to go with me then?

If everyone does this,
I'd need a hundred employees.

How about this?

You leave something here,
and pick it up when you come back.

Okay.
This pen will do.

Thanks, Boss.

Boss.

Okay.

Here.
Have your pen back.

Boss.

Now, what is it?

This pen isn't mine.

It's not yours?

That's the right one.

My pen is gold colored.

Hey, are you joking with me?

Now you're trying to cheat.

Here.
You guys come and be the judge.

Earlier, he ate and had no money to pay.

I told him to leave this pen,

and then come back and pay the bill.

This isn't the pen I left earlier.

Well...
You can say you left a diamond pen, too.

- Yeah, yeah.
- Are you trying to blackmail me now?

You guys can be the witnesses.

- Yeah.
- I never stepped away from here.

- Nope, you never left.
- You can search me.

And search the drawers...

If you find the gold pen,
then I'll eat my words.

You dare try to blackmail me...

Kid, when I started working for a living,
you were still in diapers.

All right, just leave.

Just leave. Just leave.

Wh... what are you trying to do?

Wow! That's amazing!
That's amazing!

Hey...
Hong Kong is a lawful country.

You can't just bully people.

- Fuk!
- Yeah?

- Blow the whistle for the cops...
- Okay, sure.

- Okay. It's fine, get back to work.
- All right, sure.

What a gullible idiot...

Why are you following me?

I want to learn how to kill cockroaches
like you because there are lots at my house.

Little Hak!

Little Hak!

Little Hak!

You're always wandering around.
Be careful you don't get kidnapped.

I'm not that stupid.

- Worry about yourself first.
- Little brat.

Looking for a house?

I know a lot of people.

From the Mid-levels down to Muk Nguk Lam,
I know everyone.

What kind of place are you looking for?

The cheaper the better.

You want a cheap one?

I've got one.

But afterwards,
you have to give me commission.

It won't be a lot.

Just enough for some tea, that's all.

Fine.

Okay.
This way, please.

Little Hak, you watch the front door.

I'm going to take him
to see the house next door.

- Okay?
- Hurry back.

Okay.

I thought it was this place.

No, that one is much nicer than this one.
It's spacious and airy.

Come, let's go.

Please come in.

This house is a little small,

but it should be fine for one person.

What do you think?

It's really cheap.
Are you satisfied?

Two months deposit
and one month advance rent...

Also... my commission too...

Oh, the bedding here
was left by the previous tenant.

If you want, you can keep it.

If not, you can just toss it.

Thanks.

I'll give you a receipt later.

Thanks a lot.

- You're welcome.
- Thank you.

Who is it?

It's me, Little Hak.

You had a nightmare?

Don't be scared.
I'll treat you to some pork buns.

You took it from someone again?

Says who?
My big sister brought it home.

Your big sister?

Yes, my big sister works at a restaurant.

Be careful you don't choke.

After you eat the pork buns,
you better teach me how to kill cockroaches.

Actually, there's nothing to teach.

Just keep practicing
until your aim improves.

Hey, Little Hak...

You little...

Tai, just leave him be.

Grandpa, why do you always spoil him?

When you were little,
you were just as naughty.

But you've grown up
to become a good person.

Did you see a little kid come in here?

Why is it so cold in here?

Is your house very warm?

Of course.

You're new to this area?

I did a lot of bad things,
so someone cut it off.

Did you find Little Hak?

Oh, you're cooking rice?

Yes.

This is my granddaughter, Tai.

Hello.

Where did that little troublemaker go?

- He'll come home when he's hungry.
- Yeah.

- Grandpa, let's not disturb the neighbor.
- Okay.

- Let's go.
- Okay, okay.

There's a mouse under the bed.

What?
There's a mouse under the bed?

Does your sister hit you a lot?

I'm totally not scared of her.

- Good morning.
- Good morning, good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning, Miss.

Good morning.

Going to work?

I wish.
It's hard to find a job in Hong Kong.

Even for a low-level position,
you need a job reference.

You haven't found a job yet?

Picky people have trouble finding a job.

My grandpa says you're very educated.

It's not that I'm picky.
They just won't hire me.

Where would I get a job reference?

I have a job for you.

Oh, but... never mind,

I don't think you'll be interested.

As long as a reference isn't needed,
I'll take any job.

You would even be a busboy?

Busboy?

What does a busboy do?

Stuff like pour tea and fetch water...

I knew you wouldn't be interested.

Miss.

Getting used to it?

I'm okay.
My feet are a little tired.

I saved you some shrimp dumplings
in the kitchen.

- Go eat them later.
- Thanks.

Shrimp dumplings.

Sirs, please have a seat.
Please have a seat.

Shrimp dumplings.

- Pork buns.
- Shrimp dumplings.

Pork dumplings.

One of the pork dumplings.

Shrimp dumplings!

- Shrimp dumplings.
- One of the pork buns.

Pork buns!

- Shrimp dumplings.
- Waiter!

Pork buns.

Waiter!

Coming.

Shrimp dumplings.

Sirs, what kind of tea would you like?

Bring some Puer tea and
Narcissus oolong tea.

- Hurry up, okay?
- Okay.

- What's taking so long? Waiter!
- What's taking so long?

Coming! Coming!

- Shrimp dumplings.
- Pork buns.

- Coming. Coming.
- Shumai*. (*pork dumplings)

- What took so long?
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

He's new. That's why he's a little slow.
Sorry about that.

Sorry. Sorry.

I apologize. I apologize.

Please enjoy your tea.

Hurry up. Come over here.

- Shrimp dumplings.
- Hey...

- Sorry.
- Get me a nice one with lots of meat.

Shrimp dumplings.

Shrimp dumplings.

Tai, who are those guys?

They're all thugs.

Do they come here often?

Occasionally.

Today they're going to Hoi Ji,
that's why...

"Hoi Ji?"

They own Hoi Ji Fa Shop.

Shrimp dumplings. Pork buns.

- Hey!
- Oh!

- What's this?
- Let's see.

What will it be?

- I think it will be...
- Yeah.

- Nineteen!
- Wow.

- Aw, man.
- No way.

It's pouring rain every day.

Dump out the water and then play.

- Hurry, it's overflowing.
- It's too heavy.

I have no strength.

No strength?

You have the strength to throw knives.

Hurry up.

Oh, my...

- Two sopping wet piglets.
- Grandpa.

- Hey!
- Hurry and dry your hair.

- Change your clothes.
- Okay.

- before you catch a cold.
- What?

Hey!
You can't eat that.

The buns got soaked.
Don't eat them.

If you want to eat,
hurry and set the table.

Here, dry yourself off.

It's okay.
I'll just go home and change.

Come over and eat after you change.

Yeah, go change
and then come back and eat.

Yes.
It will take so long for you to cook.

Yes, that's true.

You're by yourself, you're
just wasting wood cooking for yourself.

How about this?
Just eat with us from now on.

I'll give you a huge discount.

For each meal, I'll charge you 3 sin.
Okay?

That's cheap, right?

Hurry and set the table for dinner.
Go get ready.

- Go on.
- Okay.

- Stay here. Just stay here.
- I'll go change.

Total is 3.6 sin.

3.6.

Mr. Lau, you're here early.

Please have a seat.

What kind of tea would you like?

- Jasmine tea.
- Okay, sure.

What a coincidence.

He's your twin.

He's got nine fingers too, just like you.

We're different.
He holds a teapot, I hold a pen.

Don't be such a snob.

His handwriting is much better
than both ours.

Jasmine tea.

You don't seem like the waiter type.

Where did you work before?

Let's not mention the past.

Didn't someone at your newspaper company
just quit?

Recommend Man for the job.

Holding a teapot and a pen are the same.
You work just as hard.

Well, at least you won't be ordered around.

Plus the pay is higher.

Here.
This is my business card.

If you're interested,
stop by my newspaper company sometime.

All right, thanks.

You're welcome.

Pork buns.

Miss Dim Sum.
Pork buns...

Wait a second...
I want another one.

Wait, Miss.
One more pork bun.

- Forget it, Yan Kor.
- I want one more.

There are bones in those pork buns.

You're better off getting dessert later,
don't you think?

Who does she think she is anyway?

She's no better than
the lowliest prostitute on Temple Street.

- Really?
- I'm a repeat customer.

- I know the prices.
- Oh, really?

- Hey!
- Hey!

Let go of me!

Sir, please let go of her.

You punk, you want to get involved?

- Beat him up.
- No fighting!

Don't hit him.

- Please don't fight!
- Sit down!

- Stop hitting him.
- Don't fight!

Sit back down. Hey!

There's a fight!

- There's a fight!
- Let's go! Let's go!

- Let's go.
- There's a fight!

Are you okay?

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

And you say you're fine.
Your chest is all bruised.

This is to test for external injuries.

Put it back.
I don't need to test to see he is injured.

This will work.
These are pills for injuries.

Put that back.

Those are for work.
Go on, go on.

Aww, this isn't good either?

Grandpa...

Those pills are made out of flour.

He'll get even worse if he takes those.

Now this herbal medicine is good.

It's really expensive.

But since it's you...

Don't worry.
I'll get revenge for you.

- Man Kor.
- Tai.

- Come in.
- Okay.

Grandpa says for you to drink this.

I feel bad about always bothering him.

Don't be so polite.

Thank you.

- It's the right temperature.
- Okay.

Is it very bitter?

I've been through everything already.

I'm not afraid of bitterness.

You better not go to work tomorrow.

I'll let them know for you.

I think that job isn't suitable for me.

If I keep working at the restaurant,

I'll just get in trouble again.

Someone recommended me for
a proof-reader job at a newspaper company.

I get it.
So you found a better job.

Tai.

Congratulations.

You don't like it?

You educated people always prefer
more refined jobs.

You're mocking me?

Will you move away?

It's just a proof-reading job,
nothing grand.

But you'll get promoted eventually.

You have that much confidence in me?

Tai...

Your whole family is so good to me.

Of course I won't move.

Shame, shame, shame.

If you want me to keep your secret,

you better buy me
some roast goose noodles.

- What secret do I have?
- I saw everything. Shame, shame, shame.

- Shame, shame, shame.
- You better stop it.

Man Kor, you look great.

- I'm the same as before.
- Come have a seat. There's a table here.

What kind of tea do you want?

- Puer tea, please.
- Sure.

A young man doesn't fear hard work,

he only fears lack of opportunities.

Oh, yeah.
I have a column at Wah Ji Newspaper.

If you're interested,

you can be a guest writer
and make some extra money on the side.

Mr. Lau, thanks so much.
This meal is on me.

It doesn't matter who pays.

- Thanks.
- Sure.

- Man Kor, good morning.
- Good morning, Tai.

- Fresh from the stove...
- Thank you.

- Mr. Lau...
- Yes.

Have some tea.

Good morning.
Sit. Please sit.

Good morning.

Hey... I heard the accounts for Kowloon
aren't adding up.

You better go check on it.

Okay.
I'll send someone over.

Mr. Lau, I have some urgent business.
I'd like to leave first.

Sure.

Don't worry about the small change.

Just treat me next time.

All right.
Thanks, I'm leaving.

Man, you forgot something.

Thanks, Mr. Lau.
Goodbye.

Yat Kor...
Yat Kor, what's going on?

Hurry and follow him.

Yat Kor, he got away.

What?
You're useless!

Yat Kor, what's the deal with that kid?

Nothing.

I know him, though.

He used to be a busboy here.

Is his name Hui Man Keung?

Now that I don't know.
I just know people call him Man.

How about we get someone to find him?

Never mind.

What is it?

Is he new to this area?

I heard he arrived in Hong Kong recently.

You figure out a way to find him.

Dead or alive, it doesn't matter.
Okay?

Yat Kor, what do you have against him?

There's a tycoon in Shanghai

looking everywhere
for a guy who fits his description.

Are you sure it's him?

It's better to be safe than sorry.

- Little Hak, where's Grandpa?
- Back there.

Man Kor!

Tai, I was just about to send Little Hak
to the restaurant to find you.

There's a bunch of guys searching for you.

It's all my fault.
I caused all this trouble.

Tai, it's unrelated to you.

Those guys want me for a different reason.

It has nothing to do with the other day.

I can't believe
I can't even start over in Hong Kong.

- You're leaving?
- Not just me.

You guys have to leave too.

If they can't find me,
they'll go after you guys.

This is really all my fault.

We're like family.
Please don't say that.

Little Hak told me about you two.

Grandpa, stop joking around.

Nothing will be resolved
with just small talk.

I'm very sorry.

I'm over sixty years old.

I finally feel important now.

We don't have enough money
to go to Guangzhou.

But we can cross the harbor to Stanley.

Let's go. Let's go.

Her uncle lives over there.

Let's go home and pack.

Tai, there's no time.

Little Hak, let's go.

- Let's go.
- I'll hold that for you.

Little Hak, get down and walk.

I'm too tired.

- I'll keep carrying him.
- Okay.

Mr. Fung.

Did you wait long?

Not too long.

Come in and talk.

Mr. Fung, do you need me for something?

Huh?

Oh, uh...
How's business at the night club lately?

Didn't Secretary Leung
send a report over yesterday?

She did.
I already read it.

I guess I should stop
beating around the bush.

Starting next month,
I want you to come work here instead.

- Work here?
- Yes.

How do you feel about it?

I'm afraid I can't handle the work.

The work is pretty easy to pick up.

I'll assign someone to help you.

Thanks for the opportunity, Mr. Fung.

I've already asked someone to place an ad,

to hire an exchange student
to be your personal secretary.

Oh, right.
I have all the resumes.

I'll show them to you later.

Thanks, Uncle Cheung.

Mr. Fung, there's a telegram from Hong Kong.

Okay.

- Cheung.
- Yes?

- I think you'll have to handle this.
- Oh?

Just to be safe, send someone to check.

- I'll go now.
- Okay.

There's news of Man Keung in Hong Kong.

Is that so?

Adding Hong Kong to the list,
that's a total of eight places,

with reports of sightings of Man Keung.

Even in Japan...

I don't know which report is true.

But regardless,
just to be on the safe side...

I don't want to kill the wrong person.

So I've been sending someone
to check each location.

Mr. Fung,
you really don't need to tell me about this.

It's such an important thing.
Of course I must tell you.

You're my main man now.

I'm going to keep you in the loop
about everything.

Lik...

Do you think I'm being inconsiderate?

I'm the type of person who is able
to separate emotions from rationality.

Are you thinking about
your life in Shanghai again?

Were you very rich before in Shanghai?

You could say that.

Before, in Shanghai, I had everything.

Including someone you love?

I left everything behind in Shanghai.

Now, I have nothing.

Well, you can start all over again.

I can never go back to Shanghai.

What about the person you love?

She'll eventually get married
and become a mother,

and live a peaceful life.

Even though I'm hiding
in a remote village now,

I'm still afraid.

You're afraid those thugs
will find you here?

Sometimes,

I want to live a peaceful life,

but to me this might just be
wishful thinking.

- Hey!
- Big Brother.

- Where's your boss?
- Who's looking for the boss?

- You're the boss here?
- Yeah.

- Get to work!
- Hey, hey, hey!

What are you doing?

- Hey!
- Dirty Cheung!

What are you doing?

You're interrupting my tea time.

Kam Kor, long time no see.

How have you been lately?

I thought you wouldn't recognize me
after your promotion.

Kam Kor, you don't have to be sarcastic.

- Boss, it's fine now.
- Okay, okay. Thanks.

All right, go back to your tables.

- It's fine now.
- Waiter.

- Give me another coffee.
- Okay, sure.

- Put the tables and chairs back.
- Okay.

Why are you in such a foul mood?

Nothing.

I was here with my guys the other day
just to pick up a small fee.

And those guys gave us trouble.

You made a huge commotion
over a few bucks?

That's not all it is.

It's not the money.
It's the principle of it all.

If you want to make it big,
then catch that kid named Hui.

Then I guarantee you'll be rich.

I don't have that much skill.

Do you know how much
that kid is worth now?

I don't know.
How much?

Fung Ging Yiu's men are heading south
with a box of gold.

My uncle is meeting them
at the train station tomorrow.

Hong Kong isn't a big city,
but it's not small either.

I don't think they'll look for you
in such a remote area.

I don't to want to live in fear
for the rest of my life...

like a cowardly animal.

You regret what you did in the past?

I don't know if it's lament,

or regret.

Everything I did in the past in Shanghai...

was just too outrageous.

Not everyone is able...

to act rationally all the time.

For example,

some people know to teach
the next generation to be good.

But they don't know how
to be good themselves.

Would you blame someone like that?

You're talking about your grandfather?

I'm talking about myself.

Is this a self-defense mechanism?

Little Hak told me
you used to always hit him.

Our parents died a long time ago.

And he has Grandpa running in circles.

If I don't control him, who will?

Tai, it's very late.
Go back and get some rest.

What about you?

I have some essays to finish.

Don't work too hard.

Tai,

we can't depend on your uncle
for too long.

I want to save up some money
for a small business.

But by that time,
those guys might have caught up with me.

All right, it's late.
Go back.

Little Hak...

- What's wrong?
- I had a nightmare.

What's the matter?

I dreamt that someone killed you.

- I won't let you die.
- Silly boy...

Man Kor is right here, alive and well.

Yes, if Man Kor dies...

you'll all have fewer troubles.

I won't let you die.

That's right...
Man Kor must die!
