Friends, this is the Wangpao Dock,

Shanghai. Its convenient geographical

location has enabled it to become one of

the major cities of the world. But going

back in history to the time of the

founding of the Republic of China, it was

a city of sin, a mecca for

adventurers. And it became a paradise for

gangsters, as you'll see. Brother,

Long Pao, looks like a busy place.

Uh, Master Shao, welcome. So there,

it's your first visit here, and I make

damn sure you have a good time. HuhSo

let's go. No, wait.

Welcome home, Mr. Leopard.

Brother, you know how I am, a

loner. I could never stay at home.

Besides, I booked a room at the hotel.

Say, brother, who was that woman?

Ha ha ha. Showser,

better forget it. She's the toughest

woman in Shanghai. The Red Rose.

However,If you think you can make out

with her, then you go ahead. Huh

I'm going. Right. See

you. Bye. Sister, it's good to

see you again.

Welcome, madam, at your service. Really?

Sister, tell me, how was your tea and

syntrance?Did you get the stuff out, huh

Now that's enough. Of course your sister

has handled the job all right. Now stop

pestering her.

Master?

ah don't worry everything's fixed up

now I'm going home

sister don't leave yet we're having some

trouble the leopard gang is trying to

take over also we

have another problem a lot of people from

the south have been coming in the south

They're all strong-armed guys. If you

leave now, we can't defend ourselves. Are

you sure?HmmOur men

confirmed it. The local gangs couldn't

control the rackets, so they've called in

the hatchet men. Huh

I've met one of them. Well,

where did you see him?

Down at the dock. A tourist.

So openly. What does he

take this place for?Kids paradise?

You know, you just might be

underestimating this guy. Huh

You what?Whose side are you on?

I won't leave.

Sister, good. I really do

like the way you operate. We'll

soon see. Why?

I think this man's dangerous.

Get away from

mean why you?You are cheating!

You accuse me of cheating! That's what I

saw you! You saw what?You

the customer happy. Please sit down.

That's right. Sure, that's the way to

make business.

I'm told that you are here on business.

News travels fast. My sources

also say we're in the same business.

Right again. Well done. In that

case, maybe we can do a deal. And why

bodyguard. Why are you following me?

It seems that many girls are missing

lately. It was your idea to

buy them out, wasn't it?Oh, who told you

not stupid.

Dragon runs gambling, and Leopard the

brothels, and me, a small operator who

just wants to make a living. Huh

You scum.

Tell me. Have you found anything out yet?

Could be, I'm mistaken. Oh?

You mean Red Rose makes mistakes too?

Listen, just take it easy. I figure we

play it cool, that's all right?

This way. After you, Alon.

Wait.

over the dragon house?HmmQuite soon.

Quite soon. Uh, but... Red Rose

is giving us trouble. Fair again?

Sure. Please, boss, I need more time.

But I promise that Pei-Pei and I will not

disappoint you. Hmm

InI intend to

control all the records. You know that.

I want that job done now. You understand?

HmmSure. You said you could handle it.

I don't care how you do it, but just make

sure you do.

Sure. I'll do it.

Oh. Mother. Mother.

Mr. Shaw.

Thank you so much.

You're so kind to us.

Hey, heyCome on, get up.

I, Lau Quan Han, will

never gamble again. And

you've reformed, and now your daughter's

back, so it's up to you to provide for

the future. thank you

I'll be going thank you

seems I can't get rid of you do you

want to I'd like to know what you're up

to well this

city is run by a bunch of crooks bunch of

crooks

they force peopleto a life of misery and

debt and shame.

Well, that but operates a brothel. But

the women who work there, I know he

forced them to. Dragon Casino, a

front for drug smuggling. Master Shao,

you are wrong. Oh?

Listen, my brother-in-law doesn't sell

drugs. Huh

They're coming. You ready?Right.

Come in.

Brother, welcome. I'm glad that you could

make it. Sit down, please, won't you?Say,

brother. Why so polite?

I figured it's time that we got together

for a chat, that's all. We'll have a

chat, but not about business.

All right, all rightLet's eat. Sure,

sureServe now.

Brother, how's the casino doing?Not

bad, not bad.

Eat up, please. The food's all right,

but these damn things, they're useless.

Yeah, you're right. A waste of time.

Knives, forks. We really think alike.

I believe we can cooperate and then

really take over in this city.

Soup's tasteless.

God damn it.

What is this slop?Captain?

Ah boy, soup is renowned in Shanghai.

Idiot, how many times have I told you?But

sir, the soup you asked for, a cook

doesn't have the recipe. He's a

Frenchman. What's wrong?The

soup's what's wrong.

All right, okay, if you don't like the

soup, then leave it. Mmm,

such pretty flowers.

Kitty, Sister's not here. Huh

Where is she?I bought the flowers

especially for her. Sister's a little

busy. She's out with a guy

from the South. Is she then?

Oh well, I'll give her a call to come on

over.

What?No. When she returns, just tell her

to come here as soon as possible. What?

She's here?

Oh, what beautiful roses.

Wonder who bought them?The leopard.

Well, I like them, but not the vase.

Take it.

Thanks.

It was so funny when I threw the vase

back at him. You should have seen the

look on his face. Ohh

But if they do decide to cooperate, mark

my words, there'll be trouble.

That meeting wasn't Hanzo Chitt's idea.

the two of them are sworn enemies but

what if someone wanted them to get

together but who though

you mean Pei Fei now hold it I didn't say

that Pei is too smart

brother-in-law trusts him he wouldn't

dare double-cross us a

beautiful woman like you who would

believe you're mixed up with these people

you oh I get it

so you are a secret agent after all huh

Secret agent?

Anyone with a conscience is a secret

agent. You see, I've learned my

lesson. So I'm

determined to help others.

Listen, time and time, drugs and

gambling ruin people. Too many people

lose their homes, even families.

I am an agent. Fate has

decided that for me.

That sounds kind of strange coming from

someone like you. Have you ever stopped

to think about the danger?

Aren't you afraid of being killed?

Scared?Huh

You think, just for a moment, about our

country. No wonder.

People always look down on us.

Look over there.

Chinese and dogs are not allowed huh

don't you feel insulted a loss of

pride

therefore it is the duty of every Chinese

to honor his country what you say is

true but what can I do

plenty get your brother-in-law to close

the casino close it

what in the hell forhaven't you made

enough money not exactly

honest cash rubbish

our whole family depends on it and I

employ many people why close it

that's right

sister maybe you don't know

but in order to run this casino we don't

always make a profit take shall sir for

example he won a lot hmm

if we get many more like him inhave no

choice but to close down then why keep it

open

some people enjoy gambling so why stop

them and we don't force people to come in

here when they win they go away

happy they lose we give them a little

something back if that's so

then dragon house is salvation it's a

temple every family should come here and

worship hey

sister what's wrong with youPlenty.

Someone here is forcing people to sell

their children to pay debt.

Who?WhoHuhWho

else would stoop as low as that?You

should know. Fifi!

Uh, master?Have you been at it

again?Master, I swear that I'm

telling the truth. I wouldn't do a thing

like that again. I swear I've changed.

Lyle's daughter was sold to manly shing

brothel. Because he owed money. And then

Chang went and hung himself. This was all

you're doing. Mistress No, who's been

telling you these things?I saw myself.

Master, she's making a big mistake.

You useless bastard you. Why don't you

ever listen to me?

Huh So okay, we traffic in drugs,

but I do a thing like that.

all right all right be sure you don't do

it again leave him alone now

master I'm sorry I went gambling but my

friends forced me forced you you weren't

forced to play Shaozu when he came in

your so-called skill lost us a lot of

money master Shaozu was

cheating I know if I'd wanted to I could

have cleaned him out but good rubbish

foolish little idiot you you couldn't

beat Shaozu in a million years no way

That bastard came here looking for

trouble. I told you he was cheating.

You'd realize that. I don't care what

others do. The Dragon House isn't gonna

cheat. From now on, you don't gamble.

Hey, you better believe he means it. Go

on. Don't forget.

I promise, it will never happen again.

Huh

You think, just for a moment, about

our country. Every Chinese has a

duty to his country.

But still, just what can I do?

Plenty. Get your brother-in-law

to close the casino. close it?

What for?Our family depends on it.

Huh

That's good.

Digger.

Red Rose caused trouble in the park and

has been arrested.

Tomorrow.

TomorrowTomorrowIt's impossible.

We've got to get Red Rose out. We'll need

her help. Forget

about her. She's cracking out.

We've got to get the stuff. Tomorrow

night, Pei Fei and I will both go. What?

Just the two of you?Hmm

Just the two of you. You sure?

A lot of drugs. And just two men.

Umm And the pickup?

Home cow. Home

Master.

Get 'em ready. Sure. Move in.

Well, now, surprise, huhDidn't expect

this. I say, I'm here. You--

It's a

double cross.

Son of a bitchTeacher.

Teacher. Hey.

All

right. Get

him down. Look out.

Get out! Right! Come on out! Where's

the force?Will?

Mas... Master, he... He's dead! What

happened?Well, we got the stuff.

Suddenly there were cops everywhere. I

shouted to him to run and get away!

But... But he wouldn't listen.

damned idiot. Why was he so

stubborn?Then more and

more police moved in on us. They had us

surrounded. Then Then I saw

him get shot and fall into the sea.

Then I ran back here.

The place with the pickups. Who knew it?

Master and you and me.

Are you lying to me, Pepe?Why, Mistress,

just why would I lie to you?Hal, I risked

my life to come back here. Just to tell

you about it. I...

Oh, why did he have to die?

We're in big trouble. I need to know

everything.

Who would do it?Mistress!

Who?I've an

idea who it is. Just lately, that

guy, Shao Zer, has been snooping around

there.

Right. It could be.

I've suspected him all along.

I'll get him. Wait.

Wait a while. Until you're well again.

All right. No one comes

in. Well now,

nice little place. That's where you keep

all your mistresses.

Strictly for business.

Oh.

Friend, I think you're a smart

businessman. I'll be frank. I

have some bad news. A very nasty affair.

Bad news?The news concerns Hans

or Chit. The man's been murdered. Huh

He's been murdered?Apparently

it happened at Hankow.

At Hankow?White

Rose, she suspects you. Me?

Yeah, don't worry. We

were doing business. Brother, you have an

alibi.

Maybe. But how about the goods?

I can't leave yet.

There's no flies on you. We're friends,

aren't we?That's why I brought you here,

so that we can discuss the deal. You're

what?The price is already fixed.

Right. But this time, wholesale. And

you can leave right away. No point in

sticking around if they're out to kill

you. Good.

How many?Fifty.

All virgins.

Excellent. But still, I have to check

them first. Eh, you take my word.

Every one of them is beautiful. All right

then. I'll get you

cash. Great. Listen.

HuhYou better be very careful.

I will.

Oh, so it's you. Come on.

Haven't you got over my winning?Huh

I'll teach you a lesson, you lousy cop.

Get him!

He's

here. I got inside the pie.

Yes, sir. What do you have?Randy.

They're here.

See you.

Hey, baby, I'm thinking back

Hey, what

the hell do you think it's doing?Come

on. Son of a bitch

who the hell do you think he is?

bastard

Coming or going?

Coming. Right,

follow me.

Huh

What are you doing here?

Just can't get rid of each other, can we?

Brother-in-law's dead. Sister's in

prison. I think our luck suddenly ran

out. We'd better close up.

close up?

That's just what the leopard gang wants

you to do. If he were alive,

he wouldn't close up.

Mistress. No use brooding about it.

That won't get you anywhere. Why not

manage the casino?You see,

he would want that. Really?But

of course. And with your

reputation, nobody's going to give you

any trouble. I'm sure you could

handle it. No.

I'm not feeling up to it. You can run the

casino. Me run it?Umm

But we must be very careful of the

leopard gang. Yeah, I'm sure

they'd like to move in but I don't think

they'll try it. I hear they have

problems. Police are putting the squeeze

on. Also, the leopard gang's scared

stiff now. Then I

guess I'll take it easy.

Tomorrow I'll move into the villa. Just

send the daily receipts over to me,

understand?move out tomorrow

hmm

you get the villa cleaned up sure listen

child sir has already been arrested if

the cops break him and he tells him

everything I'll be finished

I already have done.

There's nothing you can do now.

Bye.

So it was you murdered my brother-in-law.

Bastard And I trusted you,

you lousy double-crossing son of a bitch

I may have lost you this time. Look out!

Don't move! Listen,

I'll use this thing unless you decide to

come quietly now.

Friend, there's nowhere left to run now.

It's you, brother.

You're the very last person I expected to

find here. Brother, I can't

believe you're mixed up in this.

There's a lot you never expected. I

control most of the big rackets in this

city. Listen, I warn you,

just you stay out of this. I won't,

brother. Best thing you can do is give

yourself up.

Otherwise... Otherwise you think you're

gonna force me?

Brother, give up before it's too late.

Ha! You give up, not me! Brother.

Hold it! All right, shout

there. You're just asking for it. And

believe me, it's gonna take a lot more

than you two to finish me. So

you're the killer, Pei Fei and the

leopard. You ordered them to murder.

Didn't you?HmmYou're a smart girl.

Look

out!

Hey!

Brother, be sensible.

You're gonna die. Fuck

you.

Brother, you better wise up. If you

don't, then you'll suffer.

Ah

Okay, then. The care of you!

Brother! Brother!

Tell her! Don't worry.

I'm not dead yet.

One more step and I'll shoot.

->Brother, you'll regret it if you do.

Shall her drop the gun and surrender.

->Surrender?Impossible.

I'll tend to kill you both now! Now

Brother!

Brother! Brother! Brother!

Brother! Brother!

Brother! Brother!
