Brother.

I've got news. I found out who those

bastards were who framed you. Ah

It's taken me six years, but I've got

their names. They're here. Oh.

Ma, Cao, Han, and Quantum.

They robbed that jewelry store, shut down

the guard, then planted some of the

jewelry in my house.

Why did they do it?Do you know why?I

would guess. It was because you wouldn't

throw in with them.

Right. I see. Well, I'll

get them now. We'll kill the damn

lot. No. The main thing is to clear my

name. I'll make them confess that they

framed me. Then hand them over to the law?

But they're rich and damn good fighters,

and they're never going to confess to

anything. I can handle them. You'll see.

If they're on my blacklist, I'll getthem.

It happened shortly after you went to

prison. They killed Mum during a fight.

You?Where the hell were you, then?

Sorry. I was over in Macau at the time.

It never occurred to me they'd harm her.

Well, maybe so. But why didn't ye may

help her?Ye may. And

what makes you think that she would have

protected Mum?Because she was my

girlfriend. Huh

She may have been, but not now.

What?That's right. Quantum murdered

Mum. And she helped him!

That bitchYour old girlfriend.

Where is she?Tell me. She's living with

Quantum. She and a young kid.

Right. Let's get quantum.

Six years.

I've waited. I've waited for you.

Trust me, please. No.

You're not to listen to her.

Now, look. Don't trust her. See

there?She had that kid by Kwantung.

No. He-- You're lying. Now,

come on. Where is Kwantung?

You?Tell us where he is now. He--

he--

on a trip to the States. That's

right. But I beg you not to kill him.

Please. Oh, please, don't kill him. You

treacherous bitchGet out!

Your time. We'll be waiting.

Come on.

Ingram, you wouldn't let me explain.

Yes. My skin is black.

But that's no reason to hold me back.

I have blessed myself,

just like you.

Yeah, you're scared of flight.

Does that make you right?

This is a message

A

message

for y'all.

So you were going to tip him off, were

you?No, no, noNow,

where can we find Shau Tien?He-- he--

he-- want me to cut you a little?No, no

He's at-- he's at the club playing poker.

That's it.

That's it. Hmm

Hey, Barbara. HmmIf I win this

hand, I promise you I'll get you a

two-carat diamond ring, ehWell,

you better hurry. Two days to your

wedding, and your fiance's wedding ring

still depends on the next card.

Now, come on. I've already bought the

bridal ring, but if I can win the pot,

I'll get the girlfriend one, too.

Hmm

You got that?God help you if you

make a mistake. Okay.

Low?That's right.

There's a couple of detectives here. They

want to talk to you. Oh,

OK. I'll be

in about 12. Right.

He'll be back at 12.

No tricks, huhUnless you want to get it.

Not me.

Hands on me to live a woman together.

Looks like it's

a comfortable place. Been

a long time, Yinglong. Six

years. How are you?He's all right.

You?Yeah, that's right. I reckon that

we've got a squarters settled. You see?

I figure that you owe me something.

What you mean is, you're going to kill

me. You're wrong.

You see, I want you to pay a visit to the

police. Police?And you're going to

tell them the truth. Right?You

ready?We're going there now.

Oh.

Li Yinglong, I'm getting married

tomorrow. Could we defer this for a

couple of days?

I'm sorry. I've been waiting too long.

All right, drive out into the country.

Right.

I warned him you'd be after us. He

wouldn't listen to me. He laughed.

Said he could handle you.

Believe me, I swear. The whole thing was

Kwan Tung's idea.

I see. And you didn't have any part.

No, I swear I didn't. You're lying.

I'm telling the truth. I swear. The whole

thing was Kwan Tung's idea. But you must

know that now. You know, he hated you,

wanted rid of you. Because you had

something that he wanted badly. Your

girlfriend.

He was crazy about her. We could all see

it, although he never said anything.

And you, you obviously didn't notice a

thing. He always made a point of being

friendly to you, but he hated your guts,

and he was determined to get rid of you.

So when we pulled off the big jewelry

store job, that's when he saw his cans.

He took some of the stuff and planted it

in your place and tipped off the cups.

It's true. I swear. That's how it was.

I see. And you personally had nothing to

do with it. Then why didn't you tip me

out?I...

You see. Speak up.

I was too scared to.

It's the truth. He done killed me. It's

the truth. I swear.

He would have killed me. I'm not lying to

you. It's the truth. He

would have killed me. It's the truth.

It's the tru--

hmm

What's a big hurry tonight?You haven't

even said hello yet. Ah, now come on

then, darling. It's been over a week.

HmmAnd how many other darlings have you

had in between?

Look, you're the only one who counts. You

know that. Come on now.

Mm-hmmTake a shower. Ah, the shower can

wait. So can you. HuhAll

right.

Gal?Hang on.

Mayan. See you. Oh?

Yeah?What's that?I don't know.

He and his brother killed Falchen last

night. And they're down in your pool room

right now. They're waiting for you. Oh?

Well, all right. You get your men right

down there. Watch them. Got that?

And don't let anyone else in the place.

Don't worry, I've already done that. My

men are here. We got them trapped. Be

right down. Be there in five minutes.

HmmWhat's wrong?Where you going?

Down to the pool room.

They've gone. Oh?I guess they got tired

of waiting. They must have slipped out.

All right. We've got to do something

about them. And do it quickly. Those two

are dangerous. But where did

they go to?Umm

They could mean a lot of trouble for us.

We don't really have any option.

We're just going to have to get rid of

them. All right. We'll do

that. OK. Clear the pool room.

And then we'll sit down and work

something out. I'll make a couple of

calls and see whether the others have

heard anything. Right. Come on.

I'm innocent. I'm innocent. The

whole thing's gonna love you, Freeman.

I'm innocent! I'm

innocent!

I had nothing to do with it. I know

nothing about that stuff.

It's a free moment! A free moment! I tell

you! Let me out! Let me out!

I didn't do it! I know nothing about it!

You must believe me! I didn't do it!

Now look, it isn't me that you want. You

see, it was the the other

fellas who did it. Yeah, I know.

You had nothing at all to do with it.

Quantum. He was the one who planned it

all. And he killed your mother.

I know that. But then, why?

WhyYou're his partner! Aye

You listen now. You can have whatever you

want. You just tell me how much. I

don't want money. Well,

what else?You can go to the police. Tell

them the whole story. What?

But then, they'll set me down for at

least ten years. And you deserve it.

Then you can find out what it's like in

jail. Huh

Isn't there any alternatives?

Yes, sure there is. You died.

I didn't want to come. I was too

frightened. But still,

I had to.

It isn't for my sake,

but for his.

You see,That boy's your

son.

It's true. I'm telling the truth.

Oh, please. Be careful.

Careful of what?I might

get pregnant. Silly

thing.

It's really your son. He even looks like

you. Just look at him. You can see

that. No.

He isn't your son.

We won't fall for a cheap trick like

that. The whole thing's a lie.

I know what you want. You're simply

trying to save your boyfriend's skin.

Isn'tright. Oh, no!

Go on, get up. Go on,

throw her out. Tell her to go.

You don't believe her?That's the oldest

trick in the world she's pulling. Now,

come on. Tell her to go! All right.

That's enough. I'm going now.

Tiny, where'd you go?

You couldn't believe her. The whole

story's so obviously a lie.

ohh Don't fight. Don't fight.

How about tonight?All fixed up.

Where at?It's a Tylie's nightclub.

Hey. Did you manage to find out

anything?HmmHe's in Macau now. He's

coming back at 12. 12. Right. I'll

tell my brother that. Hey. Hey, wait.

You haven't told me yet. Just why do you

want to find Hente Kwei?Tell me now.

You're always acting so mysteriously now.

What is all this?What are you two up to?

Let me in on it. No, I can't.

You see, it's much too complicated. Hmm

It's just that you don't trust me. No, it

isn't that. Come on. Let's go back in.

You're not Jackson. So rather than you.

Tom, who picked this up?Tom! That

was the manager of the club. He's one of

Honda craftsmen.

Yeah?

I see. Don't harm him. I'll come at once.

You've been so edgy the whole evening.

What's the matter with you?It's nothing.

Anyway, I've got to go out for a while.

So late?Where are you going?

Something important's come up. Won't be

long.

HuhListen.

I realizethat you've suffered and that

those six years in prison must have been

hell. But still,

that's all behind you. Nobody can call

those years back for you.

Yinglong,

there's so much left to enjoy. Life can

still be pretty good if you've got money.

Let's say, with $10,000, and more

if you need it.

Just like that. So

you think you can buy those six years

from me?You've no proof that I was

involved in that frame-up. I mean, you've

nothing more than hearsay. And I have

offered to get you back on your feet.

You're right, I don't have proof. But I

know you were involved. HmmCome on, who

are you to judge?

Well, let's argue it out at the station.

The station?Yeah, that's right.

We'll let the law sort it out. And if

I was wrong, well, in that case, you'd

have saved yourself those $10,000, huh

Right. We'll leave it till morning

then. But still, it

would be better if you stayed here for

the night.

All right, I want you to take very good

care of my friend.

Money won't change his mind now.

We'll have to get rid of him. Right.

Don't like going home alone. So I thought

perhaps you'd take me. Yeah, sure I'll

take you. Be a pleasure. All right.

Where are you now?I'm down here in the

call box by the ferry. Are you coming now?

Right away. Right away. Now wait there.

Hey.

Ohh

Right. Now where are they taking off my

furniture?I don't know. I don't know

All right. They...

Police, Hong Kong. A murder.

Tucson Villas, Kelso Peak Road.

Come on.

Mary, what are you doing?Oh, I'm calling

my daddy. Oh.

Look, don't you bother. Daddy'll be back

soon.

Surprised?I guess you thought that I'd be

in jail by now. You killed that girl

and called in and tipped off the cops.

You hope they find my brother with a

body. You

left me no choice. I have no intention of

going to jail. Well, you're gonna go

anyway, my friend. But now it's a murder

wrap. Right.

We'll see about that.

I'm finished. Finished.

All right, get on your feet. We're

going to the cops.

I can't.

Let me go. Oh, no. I want to see my wife.

We'll go tomorrow, assuming, of course,

you're still alive.

Now let's practice a birthday song. And

then when Daddy comes back, you can sing

it to him, right?Let's sing it now.

One, two, three. Happy

birthday to you

Happy birthday to

you Happy

birthday dear

Danny

Happy birthday to

you

Son of a bitchHe's coming to his death.

So

that's what you've been up to. You've

been seeing him. No, he came here looking

for you, I swear. Ha! You're

lying now.

You've been seeing him. You're up to

something. You don't kid me.

You two are probably planning something

against me, aren't you?Got it, Mommy! Got

it, Mommy! You bitch Ah

I'm warning you, if he comes around here

once again, I'll kill the kid.

Take the kid now. Right. What

are you doing, honey?Where are you going?

Mommy! Let me go!

Where are you going?Don't

take him! As long

as your boyfriend doesn't give any

trouble to the boss, then nobody's going

to lay a finger on the kid. So it all

depends on you now, doesn't it, eh

No?Oh,

you may. Ty Lee. Oh, help

me. You're the only one I can turn to

now. Now don't cry.

Right. Now you tell me where I can come

and see you. Hmm, right.

I'll come now.

See here.

Yeah. Uh-huhTy Lee.

Now, listen. It's about Yi Mei.

You have to talk to her. Will you come

and see her?All right. Right away.

Ty Lee's with Yi Mei. She is?What

the hell for, then?She says she wants to

see me.

Don't be stupid. Come on. What the hell

do you want to see her for?You've got

nothing to say to her.

I must see her. You wouldn't

understand. All right. I'll

wait here. 15 minutes, but no more. Then

I'll kill Quantum.

Understand?I'll wait 15 minutes.

You fool.

I had to see you to

explain everything that's happened.

When you went to prison that day,

I was at your home. And Kwangdong

came to see me.

Kwangdong. UmYou robbed that jewelry

store. And so why have the police put my

son in prison for it?What do you know

about it?It was the police who arrested

him. Nothing I could do about it. What is

that?

Hey, Jamie. I want to tell you something.

Is it about you?Mm-hmmSure.

Come on. Come

onHey! I'll

keep you company. Now that your

boyfriend's not here to do it.

So you're pregnant, are you?Eh

You've been sleeping with your boyfriend,

have you?Hey! Bitch Bitch

You cheat cow! I oughta kill you! You

leave that girl alone around,

you leaver!

Oh! Oh, no!

Right. I'm going to let you go ahead and

have the kid now. But afterwards, you'll

marry me. And if you don't, I'll kill you

both. Huh

So I had to marry him. Or I'll be

here to kill the child. I

hadn't any choice. He's your son.

I had to protect him for you.

And that's it. Can you

understand now?And

now, his men have taken away the child.

He says, if you give him any trouble, his

men have got orders to kill the boy.

So then, what'll we do?

Yinglum, for my sake, keep away from him.

Answer me, Yinglum. Say you'll do it.

Please think of your son. Hey, do as

I ask him. Tiny,

telephone my brother. Tell him to come.

oh

There's nobody there.

He's come from Kwantung.

All right, you sent that treacherous

bitch to starve my brother, and it might

just work on him. But still, it doesn't

on me. I ain't gonna kill you.

For

our mother. And for me.

And for you.

those years... those years in jail...

Ling Wu!

Wan Tong?Now I'm gonna kill you!

you.

You all

right?

Mommy!

So

I thought that I had it. I've got

everything I wanted. A beautiful woman,

as much money as I could ever use. But

I've forgotten there's one thing you

can't do, and that's to get so far ahead

of the game that the past can't catch up

with you.
