Forget not, forget not.

Forget not your faults, forget not your goodness.

Forget not the strolls in the rain.

Forget not the embraces in the wind.

Forget not, forget not.

Forget not your tears, forget not your smiles.

Forget not the melancholic falling of leaves.

Forget not the worries of blossoms.

Mr. Ho, it's payday today.

- We're here to try our luck. - Yes...

I remember it was the third day of the lunar new year,

I was only twelve.

My family was doing alright at the time.

Eldest uncle and dad were merchandisers in a foreign firm.

- Until that day - I bet on fish.

I bet on shrimp.

Hey... Sun...

- Come join us. - Come play the "Fish, Shrimp, Crab", come!

- I'll play if I'm the dealer. - Come!

Sure...

Even as a kid,

I knew that only the dealer wins.

Alright! Place your bets!

That's what I've been trying to tell others.

Hey, join us.

Sure...

- A small bet is fun. - I bet on crab.

Place your bets. Open!

- Double chicken, one fenugreek. - I win!

- You win, ok! - Look, I win too!

There's a kid named Nam in the neighbourhood.

- He's poor, - Hey, you're leaving even when you win.

but was keen to gamble.

What? I win?

We hit it off right away.

Brother-in-law, where's my husband?

Mom, what is it?

Nothing.

I was only little,

I didn't know what's going on.

Only later I found out that

my dad and uncle listened to their boss,

and bought lots of stocks of the trading company.

It was a trap.

There was a plunge at the stock market the next day.

And we went bankrupt.

Open up.

Wider.

You've got cavities again, kid!

- Rinse. - Yes.

This kid never pays.

No choice. His mom is my cousin.

Pro Bono again.

Why don't we pull out two of his teeth?

Then he wouldn't return.

"Dentist Tsang Chi Wai"

Sun, what happened?

Sun, Open up! Open the door for mom. Sun...

Sun.

What's going on?

Sun, tell mom.

What happened to your front teeth?

They did it on purpose,

because we didn't pay.

Mom, why are we so poor?

Stop crying.

"I want to be rich"

Sun, you must study hard from now on,

and we won't be poor anymore.

We are going to present

the scholarship of Sir S.N. Chow.

The winner is... Benny Ho.

What are you looking at? Go get your welfare.

Congratulations!

Thank you Father!

Ho Sun is determined to fight for Vivian with you.

Ching Lokyee's mine. The others can't get her.

Hi.

- Sorry... Hey, I want... - Boo!

Boo!

- Hey! We... - Boo!

"Let's go to a movie."

"I'll take you to a friend, alright?"

Yackety- yak...

Yackety- yak...

That's your friend?

Yes.

Don't block me!

Don't block me!

You're dead.

I'm dead.

Kwok Yingnam, you chop suey!

The goalie is Kwok Yingnam?

No, he is.

Why would he call himself chop suey?

That's because since he's little, his family all...

Chop suey.

That's right.

Hey! Toothless Sun...

- You're toothless? - No.

- You don't know? - No...

- The dentist pulled out - No!

his teeth on purpose.

- Take a look. - The third one

- from the left is fake. - Really?

Shut up, or I'll start telling your names.

Don't!

You're dizzy, I've a fever! You've diarrhea, I need to go to E.R.

You read the bible, I read "Emperor".

Hey, come back here.

We're losing.

Alright! You guys continue first.

Come on!

You guys go on first!

- Sun, come over. - What?

- Come here, I have something to ask you. - Wait.

What?

I've asked the foreigners from the military camps

to play with us next week.

You know, I don't know any English.

What if things get heated up?

It won't be good if I am like a mute.

Please, teach me a line or two.

What line?

You won't know.

- Come on! - What?

I want you to teach me.

Can't be.

You've studied a lot.

I don't believe those foreigners won't swear.

Please!

Sleep with your mother.

What?

Sleep with your mother.

Sleep...

- Your mother. - ...mother.

- Sleep with mother. - Mother.

That's right... the tone is important.

Great! I can speak English now.

Sun, you're great...

No wonder you've such a pretty girlfriend.

Toothless Sun.

If you call me that again,

I'll tell your secrets.

Syphilis Nam! Come on! Hurry...

Do I have to say it?

Sleep with mother!

- Hurry! - Noisy.

He's funny.

Although he's a coolie,

he's kind.

Really?

Yes, he's my best friend.

Sun, come join us.

Hurry!

Coming...

- Hold my sweater please. - Yes.

Hurry!

Sun, my side.

- Front. - Yachety- yak...

Sun, pass to me...

Pick up the cash!

Mayflower is a big restaurant.

Three fat women, six tits.

You grab... I grab...

Whoever grabs that... kaching!

Mayflower is a big restaurant.

Three fat women, six tits.

You grab... I grab...

Whoever grabs that... kaching!

How much cash did you throw out?

Ninety cents.

What are you eating later?

Crap.

That means he can't have a meal.

You've to score even without a meal?

Of course.

I spoke to Sun,

if we become rich, we'll manage a football club.

And we'll bring the best players from Hong Kong.

We'll play football all day long. Sun, right!

Let me treat you to dinner.

Really?

My savior! Toothless Sun.

Sun, let's go for a foreign film on Saturday.

I heard there's a good movie showing.

Saturday?

I've got lots to do,

I might not be free.

Forget it then.

Take me! I haven't watched a foreign film before.

Just says you aren't going.

Ok... I... am off.

Benny, you're in a bad mood?

Poor folks like me

can't choose whether we're in a good mood or not.

I'm poor, but I'm happy.

You're a priest, it's not the same thing.

It's a different story if one has a rich dad,

otherwise most young men are poor.

You might be very rich some day.

What you have here makes a wealthy person,

not what you've got here.

But I need the opposite.

It's Saturday,

my girlfriend asked for a movie, and I turned her down.

I'm hiding here instead.

Even if you're wealthy here,

how many steaks can you afford? Right?

Why are you doing this? Even we've no money,

we could still go out for a walk, look at the stars.

Or listen to music, why did you lie?

Well, one's got to eat.

Should I bring your lunchbox too?

I have money...

I know you do.

Your family is as rich as the Fu Family.

But I'm a man, I can't let you pay for me.

Why do you have to be so fussy?

I have to be fussy.

Whether I owe others, or they owe me.

That's my principle.

You can't make any exceptions?

No.

Hey! Father.

Don't look at me.

I know God well,

but not the women.

Hey Lokyee!

Hey!

Did you piss her off?

Kachun is talking to you, are you deaf?

Fu Kachun, I hope you're not making a scene here.

Father, you ought to stay out of this.

This is between us.

I really hate men who bully women.

I'm going to challenge him to a duel.

I wouldn't want to entertain you.

No one hits my face.

You know that?

Benny.

Asshole!

I'm the star in fencing team.

Do you think you can beat me?

That's not fencing.

If I win, that's good enough.

You'll never be better than me in anything,

except maybe kissing up to the father.

You will never surpass me your whole life,

because you're born poor.

That's way out of line.

This is Hong Kong. You can do anything if you're rich.

Ho Sun, let me be clear.

If you go near Lokyee again,

I'm going to dig out your eyes.

I'll report to the school board.

It's no use. Even if he gets kicked out,

he can study abroad.

Besides, it's quite chaotic around this place,

the Japanese will reach here soon.

The rich people won't stay behind.

Do you agree?

You're right. The Japanese will arrive

within three months.

Really?

That's what I heard.

I think there's only one safe place.

Where?

Macau.

Because their government has controlled Brazil.

Brazil?

Maybe you don't know,

there're lots of Japanese living in Brazil.

The Japanese wouldn't offend the Portuguese government.

That's why I think Macau is the safest.

But I don't have any friends there.

Don't worry, I've a good friend,

called Dr. Alfonso.

He's a foreigner and works for the government.

I saved his life once,

he gave this wrist watch to me.

He said if I need any favours,

I can go to him.

What's this for?

You're my favourite student.

That's why I give you this watch.

If Hong Kong gets occupied one day,

go to Macau

and look for Dr. Alfonso,

he'll take care of you.

- Thank you, father! - Sure.

I hope the Japanese would never come.

The Japanese troops invaded Hong Kong...

...shortly before Christmas in 1941.

After a few days of defence, the British army surrendered.

The city was in total anarchy.

Union leaders have designed

a triangular flag.

As long as you've one on the door,

you can be saved from looting.

Don't! Please, don't!

Don't... Please! Don't!

Yes, alright!

Take a look.

Are you blind? There's a flag.

- Can't! We need to go elsewhere. - Yes...

Help...

What are you doing?

- None of your business! - Go!

Beat it!

Go!

They're here, Sun!

Open up...

Sun, you should let go...

Mom, if I let them in, it'd be a disaster.

Open up...

Hey! We've a flag... dudes.

The one next door has no flag, please go next door.

Thanks...

Auntie, are you alright?

I'm fine.

Hey Sun, it's chaotic out there!

The sky is falling down!

It's a war!

Sun, this is no place to stay.

You should look up your uncle in Macau.

Mom, I can't leave you here.

Mom.

Here's one hundred and ten dollars,

take it with you.

I can't leave you behind.

No, listen to me.

You'll need cash outside.

Alright, I'll take the ten dollars.

You keep the rest.

- No! - I wouldn't leave

if you insist.

Sun, why is life

so unfair to us?

Don't worry, mom.

I'll be rich one

of these days.

Alright.

We'll have better lives soon.

Ho Sun and Kwok Yingnam went to Macau,

but he has never managed to find his uncle.

To make a living,

Kwok Yingnam and Ho Sun worked as coolies at the pier.

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,

Half a pound of treacle.

That's the way the money goes,

- Help! - Come on... Put it down here...

Can you shut up for a minute?

Pop! goes the weasel.

Every night when I go out,

The monkey's on the table,

Pop! goes the weasel.

You're not eating?

I have no appetite.

Don't waste it. After this,

we aren't sure when we'll eat next.

You can eat?

You are super!

The trick is to eat everything up and then slowly digest.

When you pay back the debt?

I really want to pay back.

What are they doing?

They idle all day,

place a copper coin inside the ear.

They're loan sharks.

Vampires.

Oh... They're all loan sharks...

Really, we'll hit you!

Yes, into a pulp!

You have the nerve!

Are you going to pay...

Don't just stand there!

Hey... hurry... quick...

- Good footwork. - Yes.

- Big breasts too! - Hey!

What else do you know other than

women and football?

And my lower half.

What? We aren't girls.

I'm going to the restroom.

- What? Restroom? - Yes.

You still haven't eaten?

I'm going to the loo.

So in English that means going to the restroom.

I've learnt another line.

Excuse me, where's the restroom?

What's the matter with you?

We're all guys here.

Just pee on the wall.

- Prima Donna. - Crazy!

Idiot!

Hey Mui, you're here to bring lunch to your dad?

Let's have a chat.

My dad's waiting.

Don't run!

She's not interested in you. Behave yourself.

Who does she think she is? If I can woo her sister,

I can woo her.

- Hey! - Hey... give it back!

Hey!

- Come and get it... - Please give it back to me,

my sister will lecture me.

- Come and let me kiss. - Hey! What are you doing? I'm going to scream.

- Don't scream! Come, only a kiss! - Hey...

- Come! - I'm going to scream!

I'll give you a gift later.

I'll scream if you keep on like this.

I'll give you a necklace.

What are you doing?

Asshole! (Portuguese)

Sooner or later, I'll understand what you just said.

Are you alright?

I'm fine, thanks!

What now?

What happened?

Did you woo her? Casanova?

It was ruined by some idiot.

What?

Who dares?

That kid with sideburns.

I'll beat him up someday.

Who's the sideburns kid that got the guts?

He's asking for trouble.

Brother, I'll hit him for you.

Good. Slap him on the face to start with.

Sure.

What was that, guy?

- Sun, run! Damn it! - What now?

I told you to stay out of it.

- Shit! - Hey! What are you doing?

Sleep with your mother!

Sleep with your mother...

Sleep with your dicks!

Don't move! Or get hurt!

Very hurt!

Move aside! Asshole! (Portuguese)

Same to you.

What did he say?

- He wants to negotiate. - Alright...

Negotiation, alright?

Stop.

Manager.

Bullying others again! Ten against two!

We're a team, why are you doing this?

Manager.

They are ten against us two!

Very well, I'll solve this fairly.

Give me the carrying poles first.

Sure.

Listen, manager.

I understand. Wait for me.

Sure.

Come with me.

Yes.

Asshole! (Portuguese)

No problem, the manager is on our side.

Shit!

Don't!

Hold this. You're useless.

Can't take care of two brats.

And you want to work for me?

If I didn't cheat them of their poles,

you'd be in serious trouble.

You're the best, Brother Cheung.

Dad, sister!

What was that? What's with the screaming?

Don't yell at your sister, what's going on?

There's a fight outside!

- Asshole! - I wouldn't have eaten so much if I knew.

Right. Where're the guys I told you to contact?

Should be here soon.

Why did you fight then, you fool?

- Blow them up with this. - Alright.

No! Don't burn my dick...

Oh?

Hey, who's in charge here?

What's going on?

Nothing. We've been out of business.

And we know your company is doing well.

That's why we've sent 50 guys to work here.

Thanks, we've got enough help.

We're here to protect you.

One hundred per person.

- That's five thousand? Call the cops. - Yes.

Hold on, mister.

We're doing business.

How about this?

I'll give you a red pocket.

What about a grenade?

Mr. Alfonso, they aren't to be messed with.

- How about... - I won't be blackmailed.

What if everyone walks in with a grenade?

Then I'll use this!

Shut up! I said no!

I'm not scared. Do what you must.

Hold on. Be wise.

We'll pay them first, and...

I said no means no!

You asked for this, old man!

Dad!

- Yes. - It's alright, get up.

Dad, get up.

- Are you alright? - Let me help you...

Thanks for saving me!

No problem.

I saved him too.

Bravo! You saved him.

You'll be rewarded.

No, that's fine. Just return my poles.

It's a joke.

I'm Alfonso, you are?

Dr. Alfonso?

My name is Ho Sun, I'm from Hong Kong.

I'm the daughter of Dr. Alfonso, Lucida.

I'm a student of Father Bai.

He sent me here.

What a coincidence!

Alright, let's first go home and freshen up.

What are you doing?

What's with him?

He didn't mean to puke, he just couldn't wait to agree.

It's been two decades and this watch still runs well.

Hey! Sit up.

Mom said never to sit in such a soft sofa,

you'll get hemorrhoids.

You're so nosy.

Benny, you're a college student.

Why don't you work at my transportation company?

Yes.

Great, my best friend Nam...

I can speak English... Sleep...

He's an honest man.

He can run some errands.

I want to go to the restroom.

We've restroom. You don't need to dig one.

Lucida, you take him.

Thank you. Thanks!

Follow me.

What's wrong with you? You've spilt tea all over me.

Sorry, sister. Let me clean it up.

Hey, who's your sister?

Lucida!

I've got a handkerchief.

Thanks!

Come! You're bleeding.

Get back to the kitchen and work!

You said you'll take me to the restroom?

How could she speak to her sister like that?

Don't be nosy!

Hey! Your elder daughter is really rude to your younger one.

Nam, will you mind your own business?

No worries. They are half sisters.

Lucida's mom is a foreigner,

her brother who works for the government is a powerful man.

And Mui's mother was one of my Chinese maids.

Lucida's mom took her as a maid since she was little.

And up to this day,

they don't treat her as part of the family.

- It's your fault. - Hey...

You slept with both of their mothers.

- But it's true! - Calm down!

Say it in private.

Lucida's mom is on a business trip to Europe.

Or it would be worse for my younger daughter, Mui.

Benny, we've guest rooms here,

you can stay.

Sure.

When I'm not home,

you can take care of Mui.

If Sun won't stay, I wouldn't either.

Dr. Alfonso.

The five guys were dead.

Did you find out who's behind it all?

They're blown to pieces, couldn't get a clue!

I'm impressed with you two.

I'll report to Uncle Ja,

you'll be rewarded.

Uncle Ja?

Macau's King of Casino, Fu Louja.

He's fifth among his siblings, that's what it meant.

We all call him Uncle Ja.

I've arranged Benny and Nam

to work at the company.

From now on, you're colleagues.

Great!

We'll have two more good staff.

We've a lot to learn from you.

Don't be so modest! We've to learn from you.

Such as how to steal other's shoulder poles.

Funny guy!

I wouldn't bother you anymore! I'm off.

Brother Cheung, are you really happy

that they're joining us?

You think they'll have good days ahead?

Yung,

did you give her the food?

Who told you to do that?

I said no food.

Sorry, Miss Lucida.

Whoever dares to feed that brat,

I'll send them away.

"I Love Ba Ba"

You wrote this wrong.

Why did you run on seeing me?

No, my sister will scold me if she sees me.

I didn't get to eat dinner tonight.

I know.

That's why I brought you some chocolate.

Aren't you hungry?

Your growling stomach gives you away.

Why are you so scared?

If her mother returns,

and my sister told her that I've misbehaved.

I don't know what will happen to me.

You too are human. You've your own dignity and rights.

You must get your courage,

and fight back when you're being bullied.

Or they'll bully you all your life,

you know?

No.

Come, eat it!

What about this?

I'll leave the chocolate here.

You can take it if you want.

Is it good?

"I love Papa"

Why is he so nice to me?

I won't gamble. Mom said to me,

when you come to Macau,

people will look down on you if they know you're gambling.

Do you know? I must go.

Just once.

It's our secret. You'll win.

How did you know?

If that's the case, the casino has to close.

Try it then you know.

Those out-of-town gamblers are really something.

Nine out of ten wins.

I betted along, and won a thousand yesterday.

What 10 bets!

Over there!

- Excuse me... - Let's go! Don't bet!

Don't bet!

They're really something, just follow and bet on big.

Sure win.

They are really incredible.

Hey, wait! Fifty on big.

Look! Open!

C'mon, open up! Not enough money to pay our winnings?

Open.

Fourteen points, big.

Really big! I should bet five hundreds.

Mr. Nip, take a look please.

Pay the winners after the reveal.

Pay the winners and collect our winnings.

Yes.

We're running a casino, no need to be scared.

Yes.

That's the King of Ghosts.

That's the King of Ghosts, Nip Ngoutin.

He works for Uncle Ja.

He's good at gambling.

- You two assholes! - Why did you push us?

Being our own staff,

you both can't gamble here.

- Out... - Hey...

What are you doing? Don't touch me!

Uncle Ja, they are the three ghosts. - Uncle Ja!

They won a few hundred thousand dollars yesterday.

Out...

What's up?

Even the big boss is here.

What an honor!

He is Fu Louja, the owner of Union Transportation Company,

and the casino.

He's the real boss of Macau.

Even the Governor needs to talk to him.

Hey! What happened to my fifty dollars?

Where is my money?

- Oh... here. - Don't touch!

Hey! Forget it.

- Ngoutin, you be the dealer next. - Yes.

Bet big or small...

Bet small...

One, two, three, Six, small.

Win again...

- Pay the winners. - Better pay the winners and start the next round.

Feel free to place your bets.

We'll be rich!

Place the bets.

- Will become millionaires at this rate. - Can't hear...

They will surely win keeping up like this.

Bet yet?

How come no one placed the bets yet?

What to bet? Three? Three fingers mean three?

That's enough.

- We'll come again tomorrow... - See you tomorrow...

Have some rest, see you tomorrow.

Mr. Nip, you're the manager of the casino.

Those out of town dice listeners.

If they win like this everyday,

they would win all our cash sooner or later.

Those out-of-town gamblers can all listen to the dice.

I need some time to deal with them.

Some time? Then the casino would have closed.

Forget it... I'll just send someone to waste them.

Throw them into the sea afterwards.

No way. The investigators won't let it go.

We're a legal business.

Well you're not the one who's losing money,

that's easy for you to say.

Cheung,

how can you talk to Dr. Alfonso that way?

We open our doors,

if we let people come in, we would let them walk out.

If anyone who wins is sure to die,

then who would come to bet again?

Ngoutin, you're from a family of gambling experts,

no one here knows gambling better than you.

Try to find a solution to win those three.

How could they tell what the numbers on the dice are...

Hey...

Who told you to speak?

He's asking me.

When it's gambling, you're in no position to speak.

Just between ourselves, a dice has six sides.

One point has a circular edge,

Six point has six edges.

When the "one" and the "six" sides

hit the bottom of the glass,

varied levels of friction create a different pitch.

If they've been trained, they can make out.

Because

for "one", there's a lower pitch.

As for "six",

there's a higher pitch.

When there're two dices,

and the pitch is low,

then on top it's either a "five" or "six".

It would be big.

If two dices give a high pitch,

it's either "one" or "two" facing up.

That's small.

Don't know what they are mumbling about?

So it's about listening to the sound of the dice hitting the glass.

Don't say this as if you're an expert.

What! Sun is a college student.

Having studied physics, he knows everything.

Have you been to college?

How did you know I didn't?

I was majoring in...

Majoring in Mickey mouse course.

Hey...

What?

Stop it, you two.

Sun, do you have a plan?

I'm not very confident.

We always put a piece of velvet cloth

at the bottom of the dice cup.

If we come up with another material

to replace the glass.

And it could give out a sound

that's opposite of the usual.

It's actually "small" when you hear "big",

and vice versa.

Ngoutin, will it work?

Change the glass to clear plastic.

Place your bets.

Big.

Bet big...

Place your bets. Open.

Double two, one.

Five, small. Kill!

How come?

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Kill!

Nip Ngoutin, I'm impressed... Let's go!

Get out...

Hold on.

I think you've lost more than you won.

As we are all in the hood,

here's a red pocket. Take it!

I hope we won't see you again in Macau.

Very well. Thanks. Let's go!

Times are chaotic here.

Can't buy medicine or diesel anywhere.

There's a load of black market goods,

we must seize the opportunity.

There's no way we should turn it down.

Uncle Ja, what do you think?

Three hundred grand. It's a good deal. But is it safe?

When our boat is in Macau waters,

we'd use a Portuguese flag.

We'd use a Japanese flag when in Hong Kong waters.

When we're in international waters,

we'd use the Taiwanese flag.

It's safe I guess, to make the deal in international waters.

But who should we send?

Someone we trust and who has guts.

Everyone would know that

I'm the best man for the job.

But then,

I want to groom the younger generation.

I'm willing to pass this chance

to Nam and Benny.

Dad, don't let Benny go. It's risky.

Shut up!

Benny, are you willing to go?

Alright, I'll go.

Bravo...

Uncle Ja, your opinion?

What do you think, Yim?

It's a good chance for the young men.

But I worry about the deal.

I think it's risky.

If it's not risky,

there wouldn't be such a steep profit, Brother Yim.

Brother Yim,

we should check out the seller's background.

If you're scared, I'll go.

Stop making excuses.

That's not what I meant.

Nam and I, we're prepared for the worst.

But if the deal goes wrong,

Macau would lack anesthetics and anti- inflammatory drugs,

many would die.

Uncle Ja, Brother Yim, I'll go.

But I hope I can be in charge

of the operations for this deal.

Right. Future Casino Tycoon.

Come in.

Oh!

It's you.

These are your clothes, I've washed them.

Thanks!

- Hey, do you have something to say? - Yes.

I hear you'll soon be out to sea to pick up some goods.

That's right.

The word is that it's dangerous out there.

There're many pirates, and Japanese army.

Very risky.

Yes.

I also heard that...

I want to hear what you think, not from others. You speak up!

Be careful!

Dear God,

please have mercy.

Bless Brother Sun and Brother Nam

that they can return safely.

Although Brother Nam always swears,

he's kind.

He's eager to help others.

Although Brother Nam likes to gamble,

he'd never do anything to hurt others.

Though Brother Nam likes to steal food in the kitchen,

he's in fact just enjoying the food given to him by God.

He'd never waste any food.

As for Brother Sun,

he has all of Brother Nam's strengths.

And none of Brother Nam's faults.

No matter what,

I hope you could bless them both,

for a safe return.

Even if I must kneel here for three days and nights,

without any food or drink, that's alright. Amen.

It's raining! Shit!

There's no need to swear.

Where are you going?

Taking shelter inside.

Thanks!

For what?

For praying.

You eavesdropped.

Please forgive me!

I'm off.

Why don't you share the umbrella with me?

My sister would scold me if she sees me.

You think she's Sherlock Holmes?

She wouldn't spy on us in the rain.

C'mon, let's take a stroll.

What for?

- Best friend. Let's go! - Yes.

Tell me something about yourself.

I don't have much to say.

No... Tell me more about your relationship

with dad and sister.

My mom was a maid.

I wanted to study when I was little,

but my mom was illiterate.

That's why I had to ask around,

and I asked the kids next door.

I tried to learn one character by another.

When I can read,

I can find a job.

And dad won't be in the spot every now and then.

- I think your dad must love you. - Yes.

How about... aunt...?

Dad loves me ever more after mom passed away.

But I take care of myself.

I think when I can take care of myself,

that'd mean I've grown up.

I... heard that...

You heard from others again?

You're a college student?

Yes, but I didn't graduate.

Will you teach me to write?

There're two characters I can't write.

Difficult?

That is "Cannot", let's go!

Be careful!

It was raining,

how come it stopped all of a sudden?

What's the matter? Why are you acting so silly?

Aren't you going to teach me?

Sure.

- Can you pronounce this? - I know. "Girl" "Boy".

Wrong, this is one word, it means "Good".

Good.

Isn't it good to have a girl and a boy?

Yes... Good...

Another one.

Can you pronounce this?

Not straight

Wrong. It's "crooked".

Crooked.

That means devious.

Devious...

And this?

I really...

L-i-k-e you.

Wrong.

You read it then.

Sure.

I really L-i-k-e you...

You are correct... correct.

Correct... Good pronunciation.

What?

My mom said a woman can't let

a man touch her hand that easily.

I can't touch your hands only?

Then where can I touch you?

You're crooked!

You've got it!

Read this again.

No.

Come on... Hey!

Hey... I was joking.

Can't take a joke.

I really like you!

Good pronunciation.

It's lucky no one noticed. Very embarrassing.

I've wound up this watch.

- Take it. - Yes.

It'll run for two days.

I promise you that I'll return

before it stops.

- Really? - Yes.

Get the yam! The fire is going great.

Move the dynamites aside, it'll explode.

Why don't you move it?

So stupid!

Nam, come up here! Don't just focus on food!

I'm starving.

Come on!

- What? - I think something's wrong.

We're supposed to meet at 10 a.m.,

it's 4 p.m., and they're still not here.

I'm starving.

If they aren't showing up,

we should head back.

This is in the middle of nowhere,

I don't want to risk the company's money.

Fat Bull.

Here.

We'll head back if they don't show up in 15 minutes.

Brother Sun, entire Macau anxiously awaits the medicine.

That's true.

Look! There it is.

Really?

- They're signaling us, look. - Hey!

How did you know they use mirrors to signal us?

- I... Just a guess. I'm just guessing. - What?

Tell the guys to check out the goods.

And then let them approach.

- I'll go take a look. - Yes.

Use the sampan.

- Hey, Brother Sun told me to check out the goods. - Come on board...

Come, come on board.

Closer.

Come on...

Have you eaten?

Not yet. We're waiting for you.

I'm starving.

Where are the goods?

- Get something for him to eat. The goods... - Alright.

- Sun, hey! - Yes.

- Keep an eye. I'll go get the money. - Alright...

Yes.

Here you go, goose leg.

Sun, don't come over. They are pirates.

Damn!

Sun, hurry and take the money, just leave.

What happened?

They're all pirates! Many of them.

We'll die if we don't leave soon.

I can handle for a while. You better leave!

- I can't! I can't go! - You go...

They'll kill you all

if they can't find the cash.

Where's the Kid Ho?

Sun.

Where's the money?

What do you want?

Damn!

Way out of line.

Hand over the cash, brat!

Sure, but you must let them all go first.

- Trying to negotiate? Damn! - Sun.

Brother Jiu, the money is in his waist bag.

You're the weasel.

You fat pig!

What did you say? Let me hit you!

You fat pig! Curse your kids!

- What did you say... - Curse your kids! Curse your whole family!

You fat pig!

Let me.

What's the matter of you?

Freeze!

Don't come near, I've a grenade!

Who told you we're making a deal here?

I won't tell.

Speak up!

Sun, let me handle him.

I'll smash his head,

I'll smash his mouth, I'll smash his balls...

Careful, Nam. He has a grenade!

What?

- Hurry! - Yes.

Trying to get yourself killed?

Brother Sun, Brother Nam, help me!

Get the medicine to stop his bleeding.

Forget it! Fat pig!

Let him bleed to death.

Who's behind this?

Wong Cheung.

Sleep his mother!

That Wong Cheung has killed so many of our men!

Never mind.

- Brother Sun, the boat is about to sink. - What?

Don't worry about that.

Tell them to move the goods over.

Brother Sun, there's something wrong with our boat too.

The propeller's broken.

Can we fix it?

Even we do, we can only sail slowly.

And if there's a storm, we could...

Mui, what are you still doing here?

He said he'll return before the watch stops.

And it has stopped for two days.

I heard something happened to his boat.

I thought young men would be daring.

But that's about it, they have no strategy.

I should have gone myself.

If only... it wouldn't get messed up.

Money isn't that big of a deal.

I worry about the men.

They all died like that.

Especially Nam and Sun, they're good help.

I said that we should check the seller's background.

Cheung, you're responsible too.

I know.

I've sent a boat to search for them.

Even if they're dead, I'll bring their bodies back.

Too young to die!

Just take Sun.

A wide forehead, prominent cheeks,

he didn't seem like someone who'd die so young.

- What... - I'm surprised that you know face reading.

Benny.

You're alive.

- We'll outlive you. - Hey!

Ming, buy some incense sticks,

That's great! Thanks to Lord Guan's blessings.

If Lord Guan's statue was here,

would you dare to say that?

Why not?

Sleep with your mother!

If we didn't survive,

you would have got away with this.

Hey... What do you mean?

Uncle Ja, Brother Yim, it's him.

It's him. He collaborated with the pirates for the deal,

he wanted to steal our three hundred thousand.

Careful, Sun. Watch your tongue!

Don't try to frame Brother Cheung.

What!

Stop, Nam!

The pirate told me everything

before he died.

Died? Then he's dead.

Hey... You can say anything you want now.

What proof have you got?

Before he died,

he got his wife and kids out.

And he swore on their lives.

Nonsense. Single- Eyed Jiu is not married.

How did you know his name?

Brother Cheung.

So... It's you!

It wasn't me.

- No! - I'm going to kill you!

Trying to kill a witness, Wong Cheung?

Uncle Ja, it's my fault.

Uncle Ja, I take the blame that my staff was a traitor.

It's my fault.

I'm useless! I should die!

Don't be rash!

I should be responsible.

Uncle Ja, to prove my innocence,

I'm willing to die in front of you.

Brother Cheung...

Don't, Brother Cheung...

Listen, you all. A man's reputation

means more than his life.

Ming, a traitor who worked under me was responsible.

What else could I do other than die?

You really want to die? Let me help you.

What are you doing...

- Fine. Let me help you. - Don't screw around!

- You better die! - Stop!

Calm down.

Stop!

Alright.

Uncle Ja, I'll chop off one of my fingers.

Brother Cheung...

Just one finger!

Should chop off your dick!

Alright.

Cheung's been working here for so long,

he has always been loyal to me.

It is Ming who betrayed him.

Let's forgive him this time.

But many of our men died, Uncle Ja.

Are you not listening to me?

Sorry.

Uncle Ja, Sun didn't mean that.

What about the three hundred thousand?

All here, and the goods too.

In that case, you did well. Agree, Uncle Ja?

Yes, they deserve a reward.

Young men don't

really care about cash reward now.

I think it would be better

to let them become shareholders.

We'd all be a team then.

Do you agree?

Alright... you make the call.

Say thanks to Uncle Ja.

Thanks!

Say thanks.

Thanks, Uncle Ja!

I stepped on your tail? Sorry.

Where's Mui?

It's been chaotic around here.

I don't know where she is

Father, have you seen Mui?

She's praying inside.

Thanks!

Mui...

Brother Sun, you're finally back.

How long have you been here...

You lied. The watch has stopped for four days.

Sorry, Mui.

I wouldn't lie to you again.

Sorry.

Brat.

Your dad and Ho Sun aren't home?

Didn't I tell you they've dinner plans with Brother Yim?

I know you're interested in her.

It's your lucky day.

I worry that she might tell.

Force this nitric acid down her throat when you're done,

then she can't make a noise.

She can't read or write, what do you have to worry?

Aren't you jealous?

In your dreams.

I'm only doing this because of Benny.

You whore! Trying to compete with me for a man?

"My family is lovely."

Sister.

Go to the Studyroom.

- Come on, why stand still? - Yes.

What do you want, sister?

I heard Benny likes you, congratulations!

If there's nothing else, I'm leaving...

What are you doing? Stop...

Tie her up.

Damn it! Trying to hit me?

Bitch!

Bastard! Come out quickly!

Damn it! This isn't your honeymoon.

Lift up her dress.

No!

Brat!

I'll write my name upside down if I can't get you.

I think it's time you changed your name.

What? Benny?

She's your sister,

how could you do this to her?

Kill that girl!

Ctr we'll be in trouble .

Go in your room, lock the door.

Don't run, brat!

Don't... sister!

Don't...

- Brat! - Don't!

- I'm going to kill you! - Don't!

- Go to hell! - Don't

No... not my mom's picture, it's the only one I have.

What's the big deal?

Your mom's a whore.

No...

She seduced dad, and that's how you're born.

A whore bears another whore.

You think you can seduce Sun?

After I've burnt it, I'll burn you.

No...

Don't burn...

- I like it, so what? - Don't...

Blood! Help...

Help! Killing me...

I've suffered enough from you. Don't run... Help...

Mui, let's work this out.

We're sisters,

let's work it out.

You said that you're not my sister,

that I'm not good enough to be your sister.

That was the only picture I had, and you burnt it.

Go to hell!

Go to hell!

Help...

Are you alright?

How come you're home so early?

I didn't feel well, that's why I came home sooner.

- I am scared! - Don't worry, it's over.

Congratulations, Sun!

Thanks!

This is my mother.

Mrs. Ho, your son is so clever.

Don't spoil him!

Uncle Ja's son Fu Kachun and his daughter-in-law

have just come back from U.S.

They'll be here in a minute.

- Really? - Brother Sun.

Congratulations... Uncle Ja's here too.

Congratulations... sorry I'm late.

- No problem. - Hi!

I didn't know that you and Kachun were classmates.

Yes.

Congratulations!

Thanks!

This is my wife.

Congratulations, Benny! Congratulations!

Your wife is very pretty, you're very lucky.

Thanks, I'll cherish her!

Hi, Brother Yim. Did you get here very early?

What's wrong?

Congratulations, Sun!

I wanted to talk to you about something.

But it's your big day, we'll talk later.

How about a meal sometime?

Sure.

Next Sunday at Fok Yu.

Eight o'clock. That's settled.

Bye.

Mr. Nip is quite interesting.

Mr. Ho, welcome.

Thanks!

Mr. Nip, what did you want to talk to me about?

It's pouring down. Have a seat...

This is the best place for lamb in Macau.

Is it?

Why only a few customers?

Not that many people have good judgment.

Have a drink, brother.

I heard you're going to Shanghai?

Yes, first thing tomorrow morning.

It's a mess there, why are you going?

The boss wants me to go and run the casino there.

I have no choice. Come on.

But you're going for nothing, still go?

Mr. Fu saved my life.

I swore that I'd do whatever

he asks me to,

I won't even shake my head.

Why would he transfer you?

They worry about my talents.

Brother,

you're very much similar to when I was young.

Ambitious, daring, and generous.

Bad breath?

I don't joke.

But you've the same fault like me.

Too high profile.

Wong Cheung, a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Mr. Fu's son had a history of grudge with you.

When I'm gone,

they'll try to take care of you.

I know, but I don't want to compete with them.

You can't help it sometimes.

Come on, have a piece.

- What? - This isn't lamb.

Sell dog as lamb is the highest knowledge of life.

You must learn to maintain a low profile.

When you're in charge,

Wong Cheung and the others can't do anything to you.

To be honest, I'm waiting for my chance.

I'll be back when Mr. Fu dies.

I hope to see you again then.

I don't understand?

Sun, you've got a bright future ahead.

Among the younger generation in Macau,

you're the most promising to be the future in charge.

I hope at that time,

we can pair up

to run our own empire.

Hey, are you kidding?

I never joke, have you ever seen me laugh?

I'm leaving, you take the bill.

Brother, don't underestimate yourself.

I know people.

Wait.

Mr. Nip, I...

Remember, "endure".

If something happens,

remember to keep yourself alive.

Remember our promise.

Mr. Fu, there's a woman lying on the road.

Check it out.

Yes.

Don't move!

Hey! I'm Fu Louja.

I know you're Fu Louja, come with us.

Why did you hit me?

Tell me the code of the safe,

or I'll cut off your fingers.

Want to know the code to the safe?

Could this be an inside job?

Asshole, why don't you ask me directly?

Why get someone else to ask me the code?

Speak up if you've guts.

This isn't the way a man acts!

- Give me the knife. - Yes.

Who're you...

Shut up!

What? Scared now?

You must be mean if you're working with us.

So, young master?

It's my dad's ear.

Sleep with your mother!

How could the kidnapper be so cruel.

Wong Cheung, get all the manpower,

and put pressure on the authorities. - Yes.

I want the kidnappers

- to have their heads chopped off. - Yes.

Kachun, this isn't the time to be rash.

You know they still have your dad.

Correct. Uncle Ja's safety is of utmost importance.

Ho Sun, no one asked for your opinion.

They want a million. No way!

Kachun, money isn't an issue.

We shouldn't alarm them,

or they might hurt your father.

Brother Yim, you have a point.

But young master's right, he's worrying his father.

Macau is a small place,

I think we should send more men out.

Maybe we can find out in two, three days.

What? Two, three days?

Are you one of them?

Kachun, don't!

No one asked a woman's opinion, get out!

Kachun...

You sit here all day without a sound.

- Once speak up, you try to defend him. - No...

What did you say, Fu Kachun?

Listen! Ho Sun!

She's my wife, I can beat her all I want.

I can kiss her all I want.

Listen! She's mine, it's none of your business.

We are one family. That's enough!

I think we should prepare the cash.

If we can't find Brother Ja in two days,

we'll pay, and then we'll figure out something.

Agree?

They want Hong Kong Dollars.

We don't have so much.

I'll take care of that when I go to Hong Kong.

You guys, try to deal with the kidnappers,

and try to locate Uncle Ja.

Sun... help Kachun out.

I can take care of it myself,

I don't need him!

They asked me to call him boss.

Brother Nam, I'm positive.

You must trust me.

Think of a way please.

Think of a way quickly.

Did we make a deal to pay the ransom tonight?

We can't pay them.

They'll kill him once they get the cash.

Wong Cheung is a total ass.

A mole!

- Nam, call Brother Yim. - Yes.

Are you positive that he's Wong Cheung?

- Positive. - Damn it!

How many of them?

Six.

Sun, Brother Yim has gone to Hong Kong.

Call the justice department, get the guns and come with me.

I'm so exhausted!

Can I have a drag please...

What are you two sneaking around?

Get up... Come over...

Buffalo, who are they?

I went out to buy something,

and spotted them sneaking around outside.

He has sideburns. That's Ho Sun.

Sun.

Hey, how could you bully an old man?

Hit me instead. Hit me...

How come the thieves are so obedient.

Don't move...

Don't move or I'll kill him!

Calm down.

Don't come over, go back inside!

Let's take a look.

Or I'll kill him!

Let him go, and I'll spare you.

Why should I trust you?

I give you my word, I'm Ho Sun.

Alright.

Uncle Ja.

You can leave.

- Dad. - Hey!

- Hey! - Move aside!

- What are you doing? - Mr. Fu.

- Don't move! - Son.

- I'm here to save Uncle Ja. - Son.

- What a good timing! - Son's here to save me.

Just come now.

- Don't move! - We're on the same side.

Yes... you're on the same side as the kidnappers.

What are you talking about?

It's an inside job.

If it isn't,

who else'd know that Uncle Ja is in Black Sand Bay?

Don't try to accuse me!

Oh, then how did you know my dad's here?

My good friend Buffalo told me.

He knows the kidnappers, Wong Cheung is behind the whole thing.

Oh... you're trying to set me up?

I know we've had our differences.

Anyone can tell that you're trying to set me up.

Buffalo is your friend.

No...

Not that only he knows the kidnappers,

he's... one of the kidnappers.

Young master and I came here as soon as we found out.

There's just no time for your escape.

Cheung, you must double check.

He risked his life to save me.

Uncle Ja, they just can't work out the profits themselves. It's clear.

What did you say?

- I sleep with your mother! - Keep quiet!

Dad, are you alright?

Cheung, my dad's asthma condition.

We should go.

- Uncle Ja, are you alright? - Move aside.

I...

Don't worry...

Don't worry! I know what to do.

I won't blame them for something they didn't do.

Go back to rest, take rest, go back...

Ho Sun, I'll slowly torture you.

- Sun... how are you? - I'm fine.

I'm fine, how are you?

I don't know. I... It hurts.

Let me take a look.

I guess none of my football friends

can recognize me like this.

Impossible... I recognize you. You're fine.

Wong Cheung is a scumbag.

We're here because of him.

What should we do, Sun?

We'll be fine...

Buffalo won't sell us out,

you know? He won't.

You chop suey!

You used me to set them up.

Your son will be cursed.

Oh is that so?

Yes, I set him up.

Tell you what, you just need to give them up,

blame them for everything.

I guarantee you'll only do five years of jail time.

I'll give you a job in the casino after you get out.

And a cash reward of two hundred thousand. Deal?

Deal your ass!

Very well. We'll do this the hard way.

Feed him charcoal.

Yes.

Oh! You can't do this.

I've paid you all.

He can't talk after he's swallowed the charcoal.

Type a statement,

get his finger print.

Brother Cheung.

Hey! I've taken care of the rest.

I want the two dead.

Remember.

Don't let any of Ho Sun's friends to visit him.

Father, I'm a married woman.

But I still can't forget about a certain man.

Have I sinned?

You swore in front of god that

you'll love your man forever,

will you keep your promise?

What a coincidence?

I'm here to look for you.

I know this is really awkward,

but I can't think of another way.

That's alright, just tell me.

Sun's got malaria in the cell,

and he's freezing all the time.

Wong Cheung and your husband

have tipped many who work there,

to stop us from visiting him.

Sun will die,

if he doesn't get treated now.

Why don't you find Ho Yim for help?

He's not on good terms with the prison warden.

Mrs. Fu, you're the only one who can help.

I understand you've been put in a difficult position.

Please, pity us.

Please get up.

Mrs. Fu, in fact,

I know that you've always cared for Sun.

No, please don't misunderstand.

If you won't say yes,

I'd keep kneeling.

Please get up.

Don't go!

Forget not, forget not.

Forget not your faults, forget not your goodness.

Forget not the strolls in the rain.

Forget not the embraces in the wind.

Forget not, forget not.

Forget not your tears, forget not your smiles.

Forget not the melancholy of falling leaves.

Forget not the worries of blossoms.

Oh sorry, Brother Sun,

You survived malaria.

But the Governor doesn't wish

the news of the kidnapping to spread out.

He's decided to put Kowk Yingnam in jail for 30 years,

and will execute you secretly.

I never thought that you'd let me go.

Stand up!

I still couldn't take this,

you kept ruining my plans.

I lost a finger because of you.

I don't want you to have such a good death.

Do what you must.

When you're dead, whom can I take this out on?

That's why I want three kowtows from you,

before you die.

You're so naive.

I'm going to die, why should I fear you?

The problem is that your family's still alive.

Your best friend Kwok Yingmam will be in jail for 30 years.

I can get someone to cut off his fingers and toes

each year during major festivals.

He could manage for another three, five years.

You dare?

Not only that.

You've a pretty wife.

I can get a dozen odd guys to

drag her out to the street and gang- rape her.

Then I'll sell her as a prostitute,

and thousands of men can have a ride.

It doesn't matter, you're not going to be around.

I'm a rich man.

No one would believe that

I'd sell your wife as a prostitute.

Don't force him.

I want him to kneel from the bottom of his heart.

No? Then forget it.

Wong Cheung.

Alright, You win.

I'm warning you, Ho Sun.

If you're going to kneel, do this properly.

After I die,

if you dare to touch my wife and Nam,

I would haunt you.

Sun, you're so stupid.

Your friend Brother Yim

have paid a lot to the Governor,

and begged him for seven nights.

The Governor has ordered a change of verdict,

and you're now being extradited.

They'll come to pick you up soon.

You're such a fool!

Asshole! You lied to me?

So? What are you going to do about it?

Help!

Sun.

Help!

Don't run! Let me go!

Sun, what did they do to you?

I'm fine, I won't let them look down on me.

Mad dog bites!

You saw that? He's violent.

Why are you letting him go?

It's the Governor's order. Sorry!

Ho Sun, you and Kwok Yingnam can go now.

You must leave Macau within two hours,

and you're not allowed to return in ten years.

I'll be back.

I'll be back.

What did you say?

I'll come back to Macau some day!

After Ho Sun and Kwok Yingnam returned to Hong Kong,

they worked for over a decade on property development.

Hong Kong property before was sold as a whole building,

one number, one building.

Kwok Yingnam and Ho Sun pioneered in selling by flat.

And they let the buyers to pay in installments.

Hong Kong people used to rent before,

but they began to own properties.

Ho Sun and Kwok Yingnam's wealth accumulated.

They began a new generation of rich men.

Alright...

Will you just leave me alone?

Let me go. I'm going to play some golf.

Alright.

How's it? Did you trick mommy?

Drink some water.

Good...

Sun, let's go to play golf.

Give to me.

You never liked golf,

why would you learn all of a sudden?

Come on.

It's all about strength.

My turn.

Keep your back straight.

Go on.

You've dug up the grass.

Bravo... Dad!

Nam, why did you give your son that hairstyle?

Hair parted in the middle, that's not very flattering.

There's no use for men to be handsome.

Just wait and see.

I'll ensure he marries the prettiest girl in Hong Kong.

Ting, go play where your mom is.

I don't want to.

What? You won't listen to your dad?

You want to get beaten up?

Sleep with your mother!

Hey... How could you speak like this in front of a kid?

He wouldn't dare to talk back.

And besides, I actually do that, right?

I've heard that

Uncle Ja passed away in Macau a few days ago.

He's old. And he wasn't that healthy.

Let's not talk about all that.

Teach me how to play... come on!

I must learn to play,

even if I've to dig up all the grass.

Look at you! So sweaty.

Sun.

Nam, Sun, it's been over a decade.

Mr. Nip.

It's been a while.

I'm here to see you.

Do you remember our promise?

Old man Fu didn't live well in his last years.

Wong Cheung was in charge of all of the casino business.

He's been trying to evade tax,

and told the Governor that the casino is not in profit.

The government has found out the truth.

Many Japanese customers lost in the casino,

and claimed he is not honest.

So the govt. decided to revoke his gambling licence,

and put it out for a bid.

You're not saying that we should bid.

The fish pond has a lot of fish,

and there's a lot of room for development.

But some fools tried to fill the pond with sand,

I can't just sit here and watch

the pond being filled up.

Wong Cheung didn't plan well, but I can.

I don't think he's that stupid.

He's just trying to create a picture of bad business,

and tries to take Fu Kachun's share.

Why are you looking at me?

I follow your lead.

But I've promised Mui that I'm not going back.

Sun, I know that

you've always wanted to go back.

Let me think about it.

Don't give up this chance to be the Macau no. 1.

Excuse me. Please continue to chat.

Mui.

But I fear that I don't have enough financial support.

What are you afraid of? You have my full support.

This is a chance of a lifetime.

What winning strategy do you have?

We must convince the Portuguese Government,

and make them not able to turn you down.

You must convince them that,

you'll spend the profit you've made in Macau

on building Macau.

We must do this at all costs in order to win.

In 1961,

the Macau Entertainment Company

was set up by Ho Sun, Nip Ngoutin and Kwok Yingnam.

They announced they would bid for the gambling licence.

No one took them seriously.

Finally they went back to Macau,

and held a reception

at the Macau Military Club.

And now, Ladies and gentlemen,

a few words by Mr. Ho Sun, the President of Macau Entertainment Co.

Thanks...

Ladies and gentlemen

Our Macau Entertainment Company...

What a comeback!

Sorry... I tend to laugh loudly

when I'm happy. Sorry!

Keep going, don't mind me.

Our Macau Entertainment Company

has decided to bid for the gambling licence

in order to develop Macau.

Our motto is,

we invest what we've earned from Macau, and...

My handkerchief, I can't help this.

Mr. Wong Cheung, what are you laughing at?

I'm laughing... at you...

No, I thought of the joke.

Two kidnappers,

and a very old conman,

they set up a tiny company.

Then they went to the Governor and said,

we'll be responsible for Macau's economic development.

What did the Governor say?

Do I look like an idiot to you?

Wong Cheung, don't make fun of us!

Yes.

I'm making fun of you, and you're losing.

The gambling licence has been a monopoly for decades.

The reason you're bidding

is because you hope that our boss Mr. Fu Kachun

would pity you, and give you a bonus.

We invest what we've earned from Macau.

I think otherwise.

You're just trying to steal money from Macau.

I sleep with your...

Brother Nam, no.

You claimed that Sun and I are here

to steal from Macau?

Wong Cheung, let me tell you.

Today, we've so much cash we could bury you with it.

You don't believe it?

Calm down everyone.

Everyone, if I get the tender,

I promise to dig deeper into Macau's seabed,

to expand the port,

so to allow bigger ships.

I'll donate 90% of the profit

out to the community.

For various charities in Macau.

Come with me.

Mr. Fu, I respect that your company has a long standing.

I hope this will be a fair competition.

Do you think you can compete?

That's our car!

Look! Our streets aren't safe anymore

since we've all these outsiders coming in.

What if there're people inside the car?

Fu Kachun, you're not welcome here.

Piss off!

- Let's stay away from dangerous situations. Go! - Go!

Damn it!

- Asshole! (Portuguese) - How're you?

Sun, you've my full support,

no matter what you do.

But if you're donating 90% of the profit,

then what are we earning?

I mean...

Nam, this is the "no- retreat" strategy,

first we need to get the public's support.

Your guess is right!

We can figure out a way when we've got the licence.

True.

Do you get it now?

Yes, of course.

You've been here for a while?

You seemed occupied, I didn't want to bother you.

Sit down.

You're pregnant, you should be in bed.

Let me show you something.

What?

The kids wrote it.

"I love Papa."

What's wrong?

Nothing... The baby kicks.

So naughty, must be a boy.

Well, I hope this is a girl, then I can dress her up.

Very well, I've a plan.

If we take away something...

If we take away the willy then she'll be a girl.

If we really can take away something,

I hope to take away your worries.

I'm fine.

I heard that they want you dead.

Nothing like that.

Sun, what I'm trying to say is.

Do what you have to do.

Don't worry about us.

If something happens,

I'll take care of the kids.

I know you've always wanted to be the boss in Macau.

You wouldn't be happy until you've made it.

I won't lose.

Mui, for you and the kids,

I won't lose.

Wong Cheung was right.

It's a comeback for Ho Sun.

He traveled several times to Europe,

lobbying to different government officials.

At the same time he found out that

Fu Kachun's bid is one million.

Ho Sun won the bid for

one million one hundred and sixteen thousands dollars.

On 1st January 1962,

Ho Sun, Kwok Yingnam, Nip Ngoutin and the others who set up

Macau Entertainment Co. was finally in business.

Their casino, New Garden,

began to operate.

Early that morning,

the entrance had been surrounded by 300 beggars.

The stench was so bad that passerbys had to stay away.

The word is that there'll be bombs aimed at the casino.

It was a slow day

for the New Garden Casino.

What time is it?

Almost noon.

No one wants to come in

as the entrance is full of beggars.

Wong Cheung spread the rumour there might be a bomb here.

Really sleep with his mother!

Shall we do the ribbon-cutting?

Why not? We take it step by step.

Don't mess up our own plan.

Mr. Nip is right.

Even there's no customer,

we must open as usual.

Mr. Ho, Brother Ho Yim and the Governor are here.

Welcome...

Hey... Mr. Nip.

It's an honour...

Sun, Nam, Congratulations!

Wishing you good business ahead.

Thanks!

Congratulations!

Congratulations...

Thank you your honor! She is my wife.

Sun, I want to talk to you.

Hello...

Congratulations!

Thanks!

What is it?

Your official license is not issued yet.

The Governor didn't want to be here.

I practically dragged him here.

Thanks!

Sun, are you planning to talk to Wong Cheung?

It's bad for you if he keeps this up.

Brother Yim, if we go talk to them,

it would mean that we surrender.

Don't worry. I'll try to

talk to the Portuguese Government in Europe soon.

How come it's so quiet?

I thought I went to the wrong place.

Brother Sun, how's business?

Wong Cheung, you're not welcome here.

Why are you so mad? Governor da Bon.

Hello!

You want to make a profit? It's easy in Hong Kong.

But not in Macau.

The trick in this business is,

have perseverance.

Let me be a good sport.

I'll be the first customer.

Sorry...

Sleep with your...

- Let me handle it. - Damn it! You bastard!

What? Not doing my business?

Business is business.

I just worry that you bet too little.

Give me two hundred thousand worth of chips.

All bet.

Get the cards.

Twenty points.

That's not a good sign.

Not a good hand for the banker to get fourteen points.

Looks like I won't be able to help.

It's even worse with another card.

Brother Sun, looks like I'm luckier.

Twenty- one points... Thanks, Brother Cheung!

It's alright. This is to help out with the expenses.

I'm off.

I heard someone's aiming a bomb here.

If it's true, that would be terrible.

Bye...

What now... Brother Sun.

I've deposited one million dollars in the bank.

If there's a bomb here,

that means there's one aiming at your house too.

If I'm dead,

you won't live long either.

Are you threatening me?

We're the only two here.

What proof do you have?

Despicable!

I'm not as despicable as you,

that's why I lost to you in the past.

Tell you what, I'd play dirtier than you from now on.

I'm a rich man. Who'd believe

I hit you in front of the Governor.

Brother Cheung, are you alright?

Shut up! Let's go!

Yes.

He's not feeling well.

- Nam. - He is crazy.

Have you finished what I've told you to do?

Yes.

Ok.

Let's cut the ribbon.

What's going on?

Quickly go to the front and kick them out!

Hey stop, move aside, go away, don't block!

Go away... move aside... go... go away!

- Go away, you all go away, go away! - Hit him!

You beggars!

Move over...

Close the door...

What's going on?

We've been surrounded

by those beggars after you've left this morning.

Damn! Must be Ho Sun!

He brought them here... How despicable!

And those on the desk.

Where are these grenades from?

Someone delivered it, son.

You took whatever people sent here?

If they send some Indians here,

would you take them to your room?

Asshole, how could you talk to your mom like that?

That's true.

Sometimes I wonder

if you're really my birth parents.

If you are,

how come I'm so clever

and you're so stupid.

Asshole!

It's a bomb!

"An eye for an eye"

An eye for an eye. Damn it! Tell Fu Kachun to come here.

Yes.

What for? What is going on?

What for?

Have you got any idea what an emergency is?

How dare you talk to me like that?

Why shouldn't I?

You think you're still the young master?

Fu Kachun, you're still the master.

But just an empty master.

The casino's gone, and I'm in charge of the company.

I'll fire you in the board meeting next month.

And you'll lose your only income.

Wong Cheung, I've always been nice to you,

how could you treat me like this?

Yes, you were nice to me.

That's because you were too stupid.

I'm treating you like this because I'm clever.

Scumbag!

Help!

Don't move!

What are you doing?

Scumbag!

If I don't slap you, you're still dreaming.

Ho Sun has pushed you to a corner.

He used despicable way

to take your casino and your future.

And he has even made a cuckold out of you.

Nonsense!

Oh yeah? Everyone in the jail

knew that your wife visited Ho Sun.

She stayed for two hours.

Two hours... How romantic!

Shut up!

Also, your son Fu Jan.

I can't guarantee he's really your son.

There's only one way out.

Get rid of Ho Sun.

This is the only way for you to start afresh.

Or you'll always be looked down upon.

You are just good for nothing, rich, spoiled brat.

You've said enough!

Say no more!

Stop it!

After several trips to Europe,

and meetings with government officials,

the gambling licence was finally issued

six months later.

Business at the casino has also picked up.

Feel free to bet, please.

It's all settled now.

The former staff of Fu Kachun said

they want to come work here.

It's difficult... they claimed they'll pay them for life,

just to stop them from working for us.

Pay them for life?

Wong Cheung and Fu Kachun are in trouble now.

He can't compete with us anymore.

I want to hire their staff.

And open up another casino.

Sun, do we need to discuss with Mr. Nip?

No, he's on the conservative side.

We can make the call.

Alright.

Oh yes, I'm going out for a minute.

Where to?

My wife's gone to church, I'm dating her.

We'll go for a walk.

How romantic!

Niu, take a few men,

and go with Mr. Ho.

I don't need an entourage to bother us.

Alright.

I'm off.

That's all.

How did I do?

What?

The prayer earlier, sincere enough?

Tell you what,

if the kid isn't handsome enough,

it's your fault.

Don't be silly! It's got nothing to do with the baby.

I was praying for your career.

I don't need your prayer.

I was born this handsome anyway.

What's with the umbrella? It's not raining.

Don't you remember?

We shared an umbrella

on our first date.

Silly!

Wandering down memory lane?

What for?

If not,

then I'm going to marry again.

It wouldn't hurt to have several wives.

Do you want to die? I'll kill you!

Don't run!

Come on! Just a joke!

Are you still running?

Come... quickly come over!

Sun... how are you...

Sun... are you alright?

Sun... are you alright?

I can't see...

- What could I do? - What to do?

Go.

Hurry!

Go!

Let' go inside the church.

Come on!

Sun.

Mui... just leave.

Are you alright?

They're after me, not you.

Just leave. Ignore me please.

They're here to kill you.

- Just ignore me and leave. - I'll help you to the basement... come on.

Just leave.

Dig up Ho Sun

even if you need to turn this church upside down.

Got it...

Yes...

Search around.

Hey? Mr. Nip.

Nam, where's Sun?

He's out.

Where to?

I've just heard that

Fu Kachun and Wong Cheung are trying to kill Sun.

You must stay up.

Sun, you'll be fine.

For me, for the kids.

You must be alright.

Where's Ho Sun?

Where's Ho Sun?

Play dumb!

Fine, we'll see how much longer you can pretend.

You ain't gonna tell?

Very well. Ho Sun took advantage of my wife.

Now it's my turn.

Pull her up.

Yes.

You won't speak?

What now? Will you speak?

Tell me, where's Ho Sun?

Speak up... you whore!

Don't speak...

Mr. Fu, she'll die if you keep soak her inside.

Brother Cheung only wants Ho Sun dead,

not his wife.

It's none of your business!

Hey... don't!

How dare you!

Wong Cheung looks down on me, so are you?

Mr. Fu has gone nuts!

Kill!

Sleep with your mother!

No matter what, find Sun!

- Yes. - Yes.

Look everywhere.

I'll kill you.

Ho Sun, you've shown up finally.

Fu Kachun, I'm going to kill you!

Ho Sun, you'll always lose to me,

you will never win over me.

Don't move... Sun, don't worry!

We're here to save you.

I'll kill him if you step closer.

I dare you! If you touch Sun,

I'm going to turn you into a beehive.

And I'll cut your dick off.

No one is allowed to kill Fu Kachun when I'm dead.

Go ahead and shoot me!

When I die, you'll get arrested.

And you'll be jailed for life. Shoot!

I know the risks once I decided to return.

But there's one thing I need to do,

Let everyone in Macau know that,

Fu Louja's son is a murderer.

That's settled.

Shoot!

Shoot!

- Shoot me! - Stop it!

Don't talk anymore!

- Shoot! - Don't force me!

You are a clever man.

I won't fall into your trap.

I won't let you kill me.

Shoot if you dare! Shoot!

I won't lose to you

because you were born poor.

What if I was? What are you then?

You're chicken.

A good-for-nothing.

Put a bullet in me if you've got guts!

Mui.

Mui... Are you alright? Mui...

Call the ambulance.

Idiot!

Don't die! You're not going to die... Move over!

I'll take her to the hospital.

Dr. Seto, I beg you...

You must do me this favour.

This is too much to bear,

I'll pay you no matter how much.

Mr. Kwok, you should understand.

This is not the right procedure.

Mr. Ho, please go back...

Don't pull me, ok?

You can't do so.

Why not let me see...

Sun, why are you here?

You're injured yourself.

Hey...

How's Mui?

Mui...

Mui won't die.

Don't tell me she's dead.

Don't lie, ok?

No... she's fine.

But the doctor said she'll be paralyzed from waist down.

Paralyzed!

Sun

But your daughter's fine.

She's in the incubator. She's healthy.

She looks like Mui.

I know... I really know...

really healthy, and so cute.

I want to see her.

I can't let her see me like this.

I've to get changed.

Bring Mr. Ho's clothes here.

Where's everyone?

- Sun, you go back to the room first. - You've to come with me.

I'll be right there after the chat with the doctor.

Alright, I'll be waiting...

I'm a man who always remembers who owes me,

and who's done me favours.

If someone doesn't help me, I'll sleep with his mother!

You hear me? Get out!

Give me the chair.

Mui.

Thanks!

Sun, are you alright?

I'm fine. Don't worry!

Don't get up.

You should have some rest after the operation.

Where's our baby?

She's fine. A baby girl.

She looks just like you, a beauty.

We have our son Tinbou.

And now a daughter.

That makes "GOOD".

Yes.

I remember, the first one you taught me,

it's the word "GOOD".

I read it as "girl" "boy".

This is great! A son and a daughter.

Business has picked up in the casino.

You're finally calling the shots in Macau.

Congratulations, honey!

Thanks!

Do you have something to say?

No.

I'm ready.

Don't be silly! I'll tell you everything.

Why I won't tell you?

Right?

Why is Brother Nam crying if everything's fine?

Am I going to die?

No, you're not going to die. Don't be silly!

Am I going to be crippled?

Don't lie.

You've never lied to me before,

I hope you never will.

I... can't feel anything in my lower half.

Will I... be like that always?

No...

I'll take you to Europe,

we'll find the best doctors.

Don't worry, don't give up.

Never give up... you know?

I want to look at our daughter.

She's beautiful.

It's a blessing that

she can survive.

A gift from God.

We should call her Tinyee.

Ho Tinyee, it sounds good.

And Charise as her English name.

Don't ask me,

I only know Rose and Mary.

It doesn't matter,

the most important thing is she's our daughter.

Let me carry her, ok?

Nam... come here.

I almost lost my family because of Wong Cheung.

I don't want him to have good days ahead.

Get the word out.

I put five million dollars on his head.

Help!

Freeze...

Even you're trying to kill me?

Boss, everyone wants you dead.

You're broke.

Just pity on us and give us your head.

We'll burn some offerings for your after life.

So that you can open a casino in hell.

- Wait! Chop off his head. - Yes!

Don't run... Hurry!

Close the door... Close it properly!

Cheung... Are you alright?

Get me something to stop the bleeding.

San, hurry and get the medicine.

Shut up!

Pack up! We're leaving.

Have some soup first, it took me hours to make this.

Alright... Hurry...

Five million to kill me? Not that easy.

It won't be easy.

Son.

What? What's that Cheshire cat grin?

Have you eaten?

Leave me alone!

- Yes. - You want to kill me too, dad?

Son... I'll have five million dollars for killing you.

Better benefit us than others.

You too, mom?

For five million dollars, I can kill a tiger.

Son... you should learn from the classic stories.

- To repay your parents with your skin and bones. - Yes.

Like hell I would!

I'll always win.

I'll always win.

I'll always win...

I'll always win...

I'll always win.

Hey... Let him go.

Sun, why don't you kill him?

You spent all that money 'coz you want him dead.

He's crazy! Don't let anyone kill him.

Yes?

From this day on, feed him when he's hungry.

Clothe him when he's cold.

Get him a doctor when he's sick.

You must live on.

I want you to be a laughing stock.

Go.

Looking down from here,

the whole town belongs to me.

Are you happy?

Yes.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking of someone.

Mom, where are we going?

I'm not sure.

Will we come back?

I'll definitely be back.

I heard that Mrs. Fu and her son have gone missing.

Don't be sensitive! I wasn't thinking about her.

I'm thinking if anyone would threaten me

in the future.

Forget not, forget not.

Forget not your faults, forget not your goodness.

Forget not the strolls in the rain.

Forget not the embraces in the wind.

Forget not, forget not.

Forget not your tears, forget not your smiles.

Forget not the melancholy of falling leaves.

Forget not the worries of blossoms.
