Small Tiger

Hey, look there. It's pretty, eh?

Hey, look up there. Come on.

It's pretty.

Let's have some fun, huh?

Why not? Sounds great.

What do you want?

What do we want?

-Hey, what are you doing here?
-Nothing.

We're doing nothing.

Anyway, who are you?

So you're doing nothing?

It didn't look like nothing to me.

It looked like immoral behavior.

That's how it looks.

Yes, they ought to be ashamed,
behaving in public like that.

Shut up.

Leave us alone.

Don't speak to me like that.

I guess you're disappointed.

But hey, he can't be doing you much good.

He's just a kid. Try my friends out, huh?

No, we're going.

Hey, hey, hey, hang on, huh?

Not so fast. Don't be so nervous.

Let's all have some fun first.

Hey.

Stop it.

Help me.

Help me.

Let go.

No. Don't.

-Hey, she bit me.
-Hey, get her.

-Go on.
-I got her.

Help. Help.

Well hello there.
You waiting for somebody?

Hey, don't go yet.

We just got here. Let's be friendly.

I'm not your friend.

Is that so? Then you must be my enemy.

Hey now, come on.
All we want is a bit of fun.

Why you bitch.

You asked for it.

If that's want you want...

Walk.

Look here,
do you know this man?

No I don't.

We'll see about that.

We're going to the police station.

Who do you think you are?

Who am I?

Police.

She's there, come on.

Taxi. Taxi.

Get going.

Please get going.

-Hey boss.
-Where is she?

Took a cab.

-Get her.
-Right.

Go on.

Where are you going?
The police station?

Oh, no, the hospital.

Hurry.

Hurry.

Hey, miss. Hey, miss!

Doctor, there is a girl in my car,
unconscious.

Let's go.

She's dead.

Report it.

What's up?

Have any idea why that gang
was chasing the dead girl?

How would I know?

I'm sorry. What I meant was,
did she mention anything?

Look, why should she?

You risked your life
to help this young girl.

She was a stranger.
Why would you do that?

Why not? Why shouldn't I?

She was a human being, wasn't she?
All right?

Sure, sure.

So you helped, out of a sense
of civic responsibility?

-Right.
-Are you afraid that you might get hurt?

Get hurt?

People involved might try
to even up the score now.

What's that?

That's what the police are for.
They can handle anything like that.

But if they can't, I will.

Maybe.

What's that? What did you say?

Oh, nothing.

All right, thanks a lot then.
Hey, is that all?

Yeah, thanks a lot. Thanks a lot.

Thank you.

That's good.

Not a bad idea
saying you're a reporter.

At least we know where to find him now.

That's good.

We've got to find that purse.
And I think Chien Chen's got it.

But whoever gets it back for me

gets a hundred thousand bucks as a bonus.

Hundred thousand.

Don't you worry boss,
we'll get it back.

Good. See that you do.

What could be in that purse
that the boss is willing

-to pay a hundred thousand to get it back?
-It's none of your business.

Exactly.

Hey, he's finished.

Hi, Chien. Take us into town, will you?

You're the reporter
that talked to me yesterday.

Yeah, right. Keep going.

Now then, keep driving

and don't try anything
or you might get hurt.

I have no money, honestly.

We don't want money,
we're after a small purse.

What purse?

Don't bother lying, we know you've got it.

I don't have the purse, honest.

Don't try and make things
difficult for us.

Tell us where it is,
or we'll beat it out of you.

I don't know where it is.

-You can search the car.
-Keep going.

Number seven, pick up a fare
outside King Ho Restaurant.

-Hello?
-Come on, you are wasting our time.

Damn you, we haven't got time
to play games.

Come on. Where's that purse?

But look, I haven't got it.

Look, I'm telling you.
I don't know where it is.

Hey, hey, hey.

Something is wrong.
Come here and listen to this!

Chien Chen is in some kind of trouble.

I told you, I don't know where it is.

Come on, you're lying. Hand it over
or we'll beat the hell out of you.

Sounds like a hold-up.
We better go help.

Not me. You can go. I'm not.

Stop lying.

Hey, come on, let's go.

You keep listening.

Find out where they are.

Hey, listen.

You may as well co-operate.

It'll be easier if you do.

Go on.

Hey, turn there.

Fully standardized warehouses.

What are we going here for?

Turn in there.

Go, go on.

To kill you here will soil this place.

Hurry.

Hey, Yu Ti Han, Yu Ti Han.

Chien Chen is in the warehouse
in Chu Tin Wan.

Get there quickly.

Drive on.

Hey, stop here. Stop.

Damn you.

Right.

Stop messing around
and give us the purse.

What purse?

I told you I don't have it.

Search him.

-Nothing.
-Nothing

Search the car.

Get him.

Come on, quick.

Go after them.

You all right?

Get them.

Hey, get off there.

Come on, after them!

Hey, you all right?

I'm all right, thanks.
I wish I'd got him though.

Damn. Hey, you are hurt.
Let's go to the cops.

Now I want the truth. You understand?

Let's take this purse.

You sure you never found it
lying in your cab?

No, I've never seen it.

If we manage to find any of these men,

-could you identify them?
-I think so. Let's see.

One had a big mole on his face.

Good, when we get them,

we'll ask you to come in.

-Do I have to?
-Have to?

It's a citizen's duty,
you understand that?

Plus you're the complainant.
You'll have to come in.

Right, sign this.

Can I go now?

Not yet. Better go
to the hospital for a check up.

But I gotta get back to work.
I haven't made a cent today.

Can I go now?

You understand it's completely
your responsibility though.

I'm all right. Just a couple of bruises.

There's nothing wrong with me.

-All right, you can go.
-Thank you sir.

You're back.

Two cops were here. Plain clothes men.

They went up and searched your room.

Come on. What did you do?

What do you mean? I don't know.

What did they say?

I don't know. I wasn't at home.

You better ask my wife.

-Who's there?
-Is Mr. Chen in?

-You are?
-Can you read?

No

We are cops.

-Where does Chien Chen live?
-The attic.

Anything?

-One of them had a mole?
-Yeah.

-Fakers.
-Right.

They're fakers, all of them.

Horse racing.
That's all you ever think of.

Chien Chen has been hurt.

That's right. You okay?

Listen, you must be careful.

Mind your own business.
Don't get mixed up in things.

You can't afford to get involved.

So you watch it, or you'll get in trouble.

Sure, that's easily said.

But it doesn't help me, does it?

Chien Chen.

Chien Chen.

-Who is it?
-I don't know.

I'll go and see.

Here he comes.

You idiot.

But why?

I don't know.
But it's getting a bit much.

They impersonate cops and search my room.
Then beat me up.

-What do they want?
-They're looking for someone's purse.

A purse?

There must be something pretty important
in it then.

Probably something valuable.

Or else they wouldn't
take these risks.

They're bound to try again then.
So watch it.

Don't worry. Listen,
I can move in with you.

They won't dare to touch you.

Don't worry.
Just a couple of days only.

Then if they come,

they'll get a real shock.

-But you got a shift tonight.
-No problem. Somebody else can do it.

We have to stick together

in good times and tough times.

Hey, more noodles.

Good, that's fixed.

Right. Don't you worry.

With me along now,
there'll be no problems.

We'll sort that all out.

Hear hear.

-Does it hurt?
-Not much.

There's a lady here to see you.

Lady, huh?

Since when have you had a girl friend?

-Are you Mr. Chien Chen?
-Yes, yes.

I'm Ho Mai Wah.

I've come about my sister.

Your sister?

She died in your cab yesterday.

Her name was Ho Mai Fong.

Oh, I'm sorry. Please come in.

Mr. Chen, sorry to bother you.

But could you tell me about it?

When we arrived, she was already dead.

Oh, dear.

Will somebody please tell me
what all this crying is about?

What is all this?

Chien Chen, you should be more careful.

-It's quite all right.
-Oh, is it?

I bet that's what you told this poor girl.
Now she's pregnant.

-No wonder that you got beaten up.
-Oh, no, look, I...

Oh, dear, all the young people
are the same.

All this business with premarital sex.

How far have you gone?

I do hope you're not thinking
about an abortion.

What is all this? Are you crazy?

Hear that? So brazen.

It's all right, Mrs. Ming.

You got it all wrong. I'll explain.

This young lady

is the sister of that young girl
that died in Chien Chen's taxi.

I'm sorry.

All right, that's all.

Now you can go back to work.

Yes

Right, then I'll go.

Miss Ho.

The gang of men
that were chasing your sister.

Who were they?

I don't know. Did you notice

if my sister was carrying
a purse with her?

Now listen, we want that purse.

Everyone is looking for that purse.

But why is it so important? Do you know?

When my sister died in your car,

did she have the purse in her hand?

-Why, no.
-And after, in your cab?

Didn't see it, either.

Oh, thank you.

Who told you about the purse?

Well you see, before she died,

she called me on the phone

and told me she had something.

Something very important
and asked me to keep it.

Oh, that would explain it.

Mr. Chen, thank you. I must go now.

Oh, that's okay.

Leave me your number.

If I find the purse...

My number.

814980.

Hi, there.

How are things?

God damn it. It's gone too far

when hoodlums can attack
in broad daylight.

It's quite natural, like our own

over-crowded city.
It's tough to make a buck here.

A rat race, same as any big city.

The rich get richer

and the poor get poorer.

Everybody is only looking out for himself.

Constantly fighting among themselves

under enormous stress

to fulfill their desires,
no matter the means.

-Right.
-Look there.

And all of those

trashy books and magazines there.

All that darkness

is pulling our youth toward crime.

Why don't they ban the books?

They can't do that so shut up.

Listen to him.

Yeah, you're right, so go on.

And there's another.

All these films we get
about sex and violence.

Kids are very impressionable.

I mean, they see all these films

-and they want to imitate heroes.
-What heroes though?

All they see are robbers, rapists,
muggers and murderers.

For God's sake,
they're supposed to be heroes?

I know that, so do you.

But the kids don't.

It's all those producers,
writers and all the directors.

They present all these criminals
like semi-heroes.

And the kids just don't discriminate
because it looks very glamorous.

They got a lot to answer for, I tell you.
All these books and movies.

If I were the government,

I'd just ban the whole lot.
The whole damn lot.

Then I would improve the social services

and give the lost ones a chance.

As for those who won't accept that chance,
the real hard types, professional crooks,

I'd get them
and take them out and shoot them.

Yeah that's great. Just one snag.

You're not the government.

Yeah, just a driver.

What do you mean?
What are you then?

You don't look much like a driver now.

You look more like an angry guerrilla.

Is that so? I don't like being insulted.

I'm not ashamed of being a driver.

Sure, sure.

We make an honest living.

We obey the law.

We're good citizens.

Yeah, yeah

Now take Chen.
He's a graduate from the university.

Yet he's a driver.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Hey, the cars are in.
We better start work.

Come on, let's go.

-Two bucks.
-All right.

Hey, I'll help you.

Oh, thank you.

Hurry, hurry.

Thank you, thank you, you're most kind.

I never met a driver
as nice as you before.

Hello? Hello?

You're most kind, very kind.

It doesn't pay though.

Look at that, 500 bucks worth of damage.

Your cab was vandalized.

You've been beaten up

and robbed, too.

How am I supposed to make a profit?

Tell Chien Chen to hand over that purse.

What's that? What purse?

He knows. Just tell him.

Otherwise there's gonna be big trouble.

Hey, hey, now wait.

Listen, I took you on to work for me,

not to make trouble.

Come on, I've done nothing.

Maybe not, but why don't you
give them that damn purse back?

I told you, I've never set eyes
on that purse.

Now boss, I know all this
is costing you money,

but you can't blame Chen.

Imagine how I feel,
caught in the middle of this.

Right. We got to help Chen in this.

-Thanks a lot.
-What do you say?

Chien Chen. Whatever.
I need my cars running.

Tell the police. Go on now.

It's very odd.

It's always your cab.

Why is that, eh?
I think you like getting into trouble.

That you like it in fact.

Why no. But ever since
that young woman died in my cab,

his gang has been
making trouble for me.

There's not a damn thing
I can do for you.

You don't know them,
so how can I arrest them?

I told you one of them
has this mole on his face.

So what? Lots of men have got moles.
Where does that get us?

All right, off you go then.

Wait now.

I'll give you my number.

If they bother you again,

-give me a call.
-Thank you.

Your move.

Check.

Uncle Chien.

Visitor.

-Yes?
-Are you Mr. Chien Chen?

-Yes.
-I'm Ho Mai Wah.

The young girl that died in your cab,
she was my sister.

-Now wait. How many sisters are there?
-Just me.

Hey, all right, just ignore her.

We went through this already.

I bet next she'll ask about the purse.

What purse? What is all this?

Now come on, you're an impostor.

I know the only thing you want
is the purse.

You don't know anything.
I think you're mad.

Not so. We'll soon see.

You're going to the police station.
Come on.

You know what I do?

Halt.

All right. Now you and you, up.

Good. That's it.

Quite a reception, I'll say that.

I'm sorry. He's imposing, always has been.

In fact we just call him the Bull.

That's all tight.

After all, who knows?
I mean, I could be anyone.

But I must admit,

I was a bit taken back.

I hadn't realized I looked that bad.

See, another girl came here
claiming she was Ho Mai Wah.

You see?

This is the telephone number
she gave me.

Yes, Axis Films here.

Yes, I see. In that case,
can I speak to Miss Ho Mai Wah?

Hello, Ho Mai Wah?

-What number?
-814980.

Number's right,
but there must be some mistake.

We have no Miss Ho here.

Oh, is that right?

-Wrong number.
-Sorry.

Always the wrong number.

So the first girl that came was a fake.

God. Well she was a terrific actress
all right.

Crying her eyes out.
She really had us fooled.

You say that this was your sister.

Your real sister?

Like twins.

Was she a cop, too?

Our parents died when we were young.

So we were pretty poor.

We had to go to work at an early age.

Only my sister didn't like work much.
She liked it easy.

So she gravitated toward
rather bad company.

Since then,

our differences drove us apart.

And that was that.

I hadn't seen her since then.

Then I heard that she had been found dead.

That's why I came.

So I could hear just how it happened.

I see. Well I'll try and help
you trace this gang.

Thank you.

Leave me your number.

-If I hear anything, I'll call you.
-Sure.

Thank you very much.

If we work together,

with some luck, we might
get this bunch of hoodlums.

Do you know
where your sister is buried?

Mai Fong, Mai Fong.

I'll make them pay now.

-Come on. Move.
-Let me go.

Let me go.

Let me go.

-84 here.
-Come in, 84.

Please call this number.

800331 and ask for Inspector Fung.

Go to Umo.

-All of our men.
-Right.

-Inspector.
-They here?

-In the house.
-Surround it.

All right, you in the house.

This is the police.

We've got the place surrounded.

-Come on out quietly.
-Give me that.

Don't try anything.
You can't get away now.

Come on out with your hands up.

The house is surrounded.

You have only one minute to come on out.
Otherwise we'll come in after you.

Charge in there.

Over there.

Nothing?

Nothing.

There's nothing.

Inspector, not a soul in there.

You brought us on a wild goose chase.

I actually saw them go in there.

-You suffer from eye trouble?
-Why, no.

Well then you better go
get your head checked.

Let's go.

It was empty?

That's right.
So then I thought I would contact you.

Hey, hey look.

Someone is coming.

I'll go tell the boss. You go tie them up.

Let's go clean up.

Well, we found their hideout.

Perhaps we'll find out who's behind this.

Don't worry, the stuff is first rate.

-Two hundred pounds.
-Good, I will take it all.

The balance on delivery.

The usual place. Mont Phoenix?

That's settled then.

I'll be off then.

Show him out now.

Take this to my room and clean up.

Hey boss, Chien Chen came here
with a girl.

We've got both of them tied up outside.

-Bring the girl first.
-Right.

All right, let's see. Maybe eight.

Bring the girl up.

Come on.

Get up, come on.

-Hey, you watch him now.
-Right.

Hey. That's no way to treat a lady.

Out.

Sit.

-There now. What's your name?
-Miss Ho.

I'm Mai Fong's sister.

I'm so sorry. It was a very sad case.

I don't need your hypocrisy.

That's not a very nice thing to say.

You're not a nice person.

I mean, if that's what you were,

why all the bodyguards

and the secret tunnels and hidden doors?

Nice people don't have those.

But a big time crook probably needs them.

You're making a mistake.
It's because of the crime wave.

The tunnel is for security
and no other reason.

And those young fellows
are just out of work.

I hired them just to help them out.

That's your story.

Now tell me how my sister died.

You don't know how she died.
Is that right?

I'm afraid your sister was greedy.

She stole a first prize lottery ticket
from me the other week.

I've simply been trying
to get the thing back

ever since she died in that cab.

And my guess is Chien Chen, the cab driver

discovered she had the ticket
and murdered her.

I mean, it's a likely explanation.

But still, you've been looking
for the purse,

not the ticket?

That's right. Somebody actually saw her

put the ticket in her purse.

After she got into the cab,
the purse was gone.

Chien Chen must have taken it.
There's no other explanation.

Yes, it seems that way.

But why didn't you tell the police?

That might have scared him into running.

Hey! Stop it.

Know what?

I think the two of you
are in this thing together.

That you both killed her.

You're crazy.

A police woman, huh?

Right. Let me go.

Sure, as soon as you let me
have the purse. Then I will.

Now come on, what's all this?

You know I don't have it. All right?

Now you let me go or I'll charge you
with obstructing the law.

And you're the law?
Don't make me laugh.

You women police,
the only thing you can do

is hand out parking tickets.

I warn you, you better let me
have that damn purse now.

If you don't, you're gonna get hurt.

Go ahead.

Well, we'll see. You lock her up now.

Oh, Chen.

-What is it?
-Bring Sao Mai to my study.

You got any cards?

Come in.

Hu Chan, I beg you.

I beg you.

Let me have a smoke.

Why surely.

Come and get a hit.

Enough.
First you must do something for me.

-Tell me what it is.
-Ho Mai Fong's sister.

Ho Mai Wah.
We caught her snooping around here.

I've got her locked up.

Go talk to her.
See if she knows where that purse is.

When you've done that, come back.

I'll do it.

I will.

Are you Mai Fong's sister?

Yes.

I'm Sao Mai.

Your sister was a good friend.

You all right?

On the day that your sister died,

she had a purse.

Do you know where it is now?

I don't know where it is.

If you know,

please, tell me

-for both our sakes.
-Our sakes? What do you mean?

I beg of you.

Oh, help me.

Please tell me.

What is this? Come on now.

I may be able to help you.

Nobody can help me.
Nothing anybody can do.

Things have gone too far now.

Listen.

Was Mai Fong murdered by the people here?

Was she?

Who murdered her?

You must tell me. Tell me.

No, I can't. What's the use?

Because they mustn't get away with it.
Tell me.

Come on now.

If you have evidence, I can help you.

Tell me.

Come on, speak up.

What can you do?

You can help me?

Just look at you.

You're only a prisoner.

Get out.

Idiot. You were supposed to question her.

And what happens?

You start to blab
and give her information.

I'm a rich man,
and have a great many friends.

Even if you did spill on me,
who's gonna believe you?

Beside, you can't break away from me

Where would you get your stuff from?

You wouldn't last one day.

Now go on you, do what I said.

I did ask her.

She says she doesn't know.

Doesn't know?

Hey, lock her up with that girl again.

What's wrong?

Are you all right?

Leave me alone.

Did they give you something?

Boss.

Listen, don't forget,

-that shipment has got to go out today.
-Yeah.

When it has, get the cash
and pay the men.

-Tell them to lay low for a few days.
-Oh.

I have to go out for a while.

I'll see you later.
I shouldn't be too long.

Right. What about Chien Chen
and the two girls?

Pack them up

along with the shipment to Mount Phoenix.

Remember, take quarry route the whole way.

Now go on.

-Hey, pack up.
-Right.

Now, tell me, are you a cop?

Yes. You should tell me all you know.

Right. I'll tell you then.

Hu Kung, he always recruits
young people,

to smuggle drugs for him.

Most of the time, it's girls, pretty ones.

This is Ho Mai Fong.

Hey boss.

I think she can be useful, huh?

Yeah. Take this to the usual place.

Got it.

Hey, come on.

You like it?

No. Please don't.

After that,

she realized how stupid she had been.

But she was trapped.

Once you're in, they will never
let you go.

She tried to get out many times.

But every time he managed
to bring her back again.

So then she thought she would try
to get something on them.

One day, Hu Tang decided
he was going to get rid of the boss.

Mai Fong managed to take some pictures.

She reckoned they'd be evidence
against them.

Unfortunately they were on to her.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Okay, it's all fixed.

Let's get going.

She took my picture
when I was rigging up the bomb in the car.

She stuck it in her purse?

Force it down.

Now tell me where that purse is.

-I don't know.
-Now come on. Don't try my patience.

Now you listen,

this is your own fault.

You just drank poison.

In three hours you'll be dead.

But if you tell me where to find
the purse, I'll let you have an antidote.

-No, I won't.
-Right.

-Lock her up.
-Come on. Move.

Let's check the shipment.

Let's go.

Oh, excuse me,
I have to go to the washroom.

Mai Fong.

The closet has a secret door.

Get straight out to a hospital.

Thank you.

Oh, I see, that's why
they wanted to kill her.

They must get those pictures

or spend the rest of their lives in jail.

Thanks a lot.

I'm grateful you told me.

I'm weak,

vain and greedy.

Now I'm trapped, too.

I left home.

Left my parents.

I thought that I was being smart.

And now I'm an addict.

A zombie.

They control me.

I have to do what they say.

I'll do anything for the stuff.

They know I helped Mai Fong

so they won't give me any more.

It's awful. It's killing me.
I've gone mad.

I can't stand it much more.

But still, I guess it doesn't
really matter, not now.

Finished, washed up.

I have nothing to live for anyway.

Now come on, lie down.

Get some rest.

And don't give up.

I'll help you.

Hey. Start working.

On what?

Pack up. And find me two wooden cases.

-What for?
-Just get them.

Come quickly.

You go to the police.

What about you?

I'll stay and watch them. Hurry.

-Go on.
-You first.

-Three.
-Okay.

Open.

Five.

Damn it. You won again.

Sha Lio, come here.

-You want something, boss?
-Take this money, buy three wooden crates.

And tell Lo Shu
to get the truck ready now.

Wooden crates?
There are plenty of them here.

We need big ones.

Hello, hello?

-Yes?
-This is 84 here.

What's wrong?

Tell Wai Chung and the rest of the guys
I've traced that gang

and get out here right away.

All right, straightaway.

Chien Chen, this is too much.

So you got yourself involved again?

-Now you want the drivers to help you out.
-Now boss don't get mad, listen to me.

You've lost me enough money already now.

Help me now to get rid of these hoodlums.

Set an example for all the citizens.

Otherwise, you won't have
any company left.

Why you... What nonsense!

You fool. Let's go.

What's this? You mean you're going?

Those lousy rats. I've had enough of them.

This time we'll fix them. Come on.

Hey, Mr. Ming,
you're getting involved too?

That's right. We have no other option.

The way things are,
we got to make a stand.

Oh, wait, don't go.
Have you all gone raving mad?

Hello, you there?

-When did he get away?
-I don't know.

The stuff loaded? Right.

Mount Phoenix, 4 sharp.

It's him.

Get him.

Enough.

Enough.

Stop, okay?

Come on, let's go.

Freeze. Frisk them.

Take them away.

Inspector, where's Ho Mai?

Where's Chien Chen?

-Where is he?
-Over here.

Sir.

Now what was that crack?
Only write parking tickets?

We women cops
also catch scumbags like you.

Take him.

Now then, you've done well.

Maybe, thanks to Chien Chen
and this girl here.

Listen, you all right?

The car is a wreck.

The police are very grateful to you.

What a team we were.
