Shanghai during the wars was a criminal's

paradise. Vice of every kind

flourished uncontrolled, attracting

Chinese and foreigners alike.

Quiet, everybody. Quiet, please. The

draw for this lucky number will be in 3

minutes, so place your bets.

The most popular gambling game in

Shanghai was known as the Animal

Pantheon. The player could choose from 12

animal gods. He put his money down on his

selected animal, and if his number came

up, he won ten times his stake.

Attention, no wild bats. The number draw

begins now.

Monkey, you've always brought me luck. I

hope you bring me luck this time. The

casinos always require more cuts, so

they employ teams of tubs to go out into

the street and bring in. It's the lucky

monkey. It seems as if all Shanghai is

having a bet.

Mr. Lee, made-up your mind

yet?You got a bet?Shut up.

Go on, turtle. You can do it. I know you

can. You've just got to turn up now. God

bless you, turtle.

Right, here we go. 100 bucks on the

turtle. Mr. Lee, how come you're so

certain?Because I've been paying since

morning and I know the turtle's the one.

He told me that I'll win. All I've got to

do is have faith. Thanks.

Oh, friend, where's the boss?Out back.

How abouts?Have you decided?

Yeah, I've made-up my mind. What'll it be?

I'll take 1000 down the pig.

Hi. HiOh, yeah. Hi. Hi

Good to see you. Hi there. Hi. HiBoss

in. Inside. Thanks.

Hi, boss. Hi. You got the money?Sure,

here. It's 2000 bucks. They've already

started betting big.

Oh, I won't take it. The kitty's

running a little low. Can't afford to pay

out if you win. So you two

better get along to the casino and put

the bets on. We'll just take some

Commission. Oh, don't you too far.

Don't worry about us. You can trust us.

Hey, it's crowded in here. Hey, I'm

going to take a look around. All right.

Ladies, you bets, gentlemen. This way,

man. You gotta believe me. Madam,

listen to me. Today it's gonna be the

turtle. Hey, are you certain?Go away.

Hey, last night I had this vivid dream

that the turtle was gonna come out. None

of the others would get a look in. Hey, I

feel it in my bones. I know I'm going to

win today. You're full of

sweet talk. What if I lose?Ohh If you

lose, then I'll meet half of your best.

Here it comes. Here it comes. And

if you should win, then I get a half of

that, too. That's a deal.

Hey, chop out. Give me the money, willyou?

Yeah. Hey, sure, Shane, what are

you doing?We're going to bet the money on

the turtle. That's crazy. That money

isn't ours. Hey, didn't you hear the

turtle's going to win today?You heard Mr.

Lee. He said the turtle's going to win. I

reckon their instinct is better proved

correct. I don't like too much of A

coincidence. Think of it. We

put the whole lot on. We could win 20

grand. Would be rich for it. Yeah,

but what happens if another number comes

up then, huhWe can't pay for it.

You know what'll happen?The fossil.

Roaster's in hell for us. Look, I can

feel it. I know we're gonna win. The

turtle hasn't come up a few times.

20 grand is worth the risk. I'm prepared

to take it. Shu Shen, you're crazy.

You realize he'll try to have us killed?

I'll be responsive. Leave it on me.

Nothing to do with you.

What about that?Ready. Put the lot on the

turtle. Go on. All right.

Hey, Shusheng. We better start praying

like we never prayed before. Hey, will

you stop worrying?We're gonna win. Hey, I

know. Hey, come on, baby. Here you

are. All right, that's

enough. No more bats, gentlemen. Here you

are. Oh, thank you. No more bats, no more

bats.

go.

Oh, my little rabbit, come out of your

burrow, and I'll buy you a brush little

cow. Come on, little

rabbit. Oh, come on, little rabbit. Come

on, gentle. Oh, come on, gentle. I know

you're gonna hit me. Little rabbit.

My little rabbit. Come on. Rabbit.

Rabbit. Rabbit. It's coming out. It's

coming out. The pig. Where's the rabbit?

Where's

the rabbit?

This way. Right. Hey, hold on.

Souchez, it's about time we split up.

I'll go to the French sector. You take

care of yourself. Sharp, huhIt's my

fault this happened. Didn't want you to

suffer. I don't blame you. We're

brothers, aren't we?Look, I'm not

bothered where I end up. I'll soon

find a job. And some kind of living. What

does it matter where?

Take care. So long.

Boss.

Boss.

So after making a fortune,

you two decided to leave.

You're lucky at gambling. Bollocks seems

to be up. 10 post number came up,

so I owe him 10 grand. What will I do?

Where will I get that kind of money?

Boss, this isn't anyone's fault of mine.

I I was stupid. I bet money last. He had

nothing to do with it. No, it wasn't that

way. I bet it too. So what are you going

to do to us?Shop out. All right.

Time for games is over. I want my money

back now. Hand it over straight

away. Get out of Shanghai.

Maybe he'll spare you.

Boss, we don't have the money. No

money. And I'm

gonna kill him.

Chop off. Come on.

This

way. You go first.

oh You'd go nowhere. Owe me your life.

Uh-huh

Boss.

No!

Sousette, let's get out of here. Come on.

There ain't no way they're going to let

us go this time. We've really blown it

down. We've got to leave Shanghai for

good. Chop, huhSir, won't be so easy

to follow. Let's say goodbye. It sure

hurt bad. It's all right. Only a skid

wound.

Oh, Shusheng. I'll

see you around someday.

see.

How is it?It's far too early in the

morning. Oh, stupid girl. What are

you doing there?Why don't you go open the

door?Come in! Come

in!

What do you want?Looking for a job.

You've been hurt. What happened to you?

Have you been in some kind of fight?Don't

ask me questions. Take it easy. If you

answer my questions, maybe I have a

job for you. Are you a fighter?

You could say that. Ever been in any

trouble with the police?No.

HmmCome in. We'll talk.

Thank you.

All right, all rightCome along now.

We run a brothel here. We

get all sorts as customers.

HuhAnd they drink. And

they cause trouble. Then

there's the girls. Sometimes they disobey

me. I need to have some muscle about the

place. The last bodyguard, he was

arrested yesterday. So, I'm looking

for a replacement. What do you think?

When do you want me to start?You can

start now. But you've got to remember,

don't fall in love. You can fool around

if you want to. But don't start getting

serious. My girls have got to earn me

money. I realize.

Now have a bath. Tidy yourself up.

Later on, I'm going. I'll introduce you

there. Gentlemen, gentlemen,

gentlemen. It gives me great

pleasure to announce the auction of the

Virgin, Miss Lao Shao Juan.

Let's see the color of your money. She

goes to the highest bidder.

Ah Hold on!

Hold on, gentlemen. They're bringing in

the Virgin now. Yes, here she comes,

gentlemen.

Ohh

Hello,

gentlemen.

What have I been for this lovely virgin?

You've had enough time for a good look.

So, dig deep into your wallet. All right,

yes, 100 over there. Let's...

advance on 250 for this. 100! 600!

1000 it is. Mr. King's the lucky

man. Congratulations. Thank you.

Very good try.

Good. What fun you'll have with her.

Let's escort the lucky man inside.

Mr. King, please. Here is your

virgin bride.

Mr. King. Don't get so

carried away that you forget it's your

first time. You should try to be gentle.

Of course. I've paid big money.

I won't hurry, Ed.

Get out, get out, you peek and talk. Good

night.

Umm

Lady. Mr. King.

I beg you. Let me go. Let you go.

That was big money. I just paid for you.

Come on, my dear. I beg you, let me

go.

Oh, no.

Come on.

Come onCome onCome onCome onCome

I've prayed for you?Come on.

Come here.

for

this.

Come on.

Help! HuhWhat the hell are you up to?Huh

What do you want?

ohh Leave my

trouble for me! Stop

that at once!

You son of a bitch How dare you

make trouble for me! You're good for

nothing! You're fired, do you hear?Go on,

kick the bastard out! Me?

Go

on!You heard.

You're fired right now. Get out. I hear.

Hey! So, come on.

She's coming with me. If you don't let us

through, I'll tear this place apart. Come

on. Ohh My

mouth. Oh, you beautiful boy! You can't

do a thing! No. I'll kill you! I'll kill

you!

I already told you not to follow me.

I'm so afraid. Anyway, I have

nowhere else to go. What about your

family?My mother is dead. And

my stepfather sold me to the brothel.

There's no way I'm ever going back to

him. Lady, I'm not a very good man.

I've got no home, got no job. So how can

I support you?

All right. Come on.

Madam?What can I do for you?

Got a room I can rent?Yes, yes

Think I can take a look?Of course,

please.

It's this room in here.

I know it's very small, but it is

large enough for a young couple. Oh.

My sister. So you

don't mind sharing the room?The rent is

a dollar a month. Fine. Then I'll

take it. My husband and

I live in the room just opposite. If

there's anything you want, don't

hesitate. Just knock on the door.

Mister, have you got a job?Um,

I've just arrived in Shanghai. I ain't

started looking yet. Oh. My dear, we

have a guest. My dear, this is Mr. Yuan

and his young sister. They've just ran

into the back room. Welcome, welcome. I

know it's small. I hope you don't mind.

They've just arrived here. He hasn't got

a job yet. Oh.

You used to it yet?Yes, I am.

Uncle. Gotta thank you for getting me

this job. Hey, don't mention it. I'm

afraid you should have got a job with

more pay. Here.

Uncle. See that man over there?Is he a

big shot?Yeah, he sure is. Call him Mr.

Shanghai. Mr. Lo. Oh,

forget him. He's so powerful.

He's made many enemies and all want to

kill him. I don't know. He's got that

long to live. Not like me. I'd pull it,

but I have a life.

I'll leave it up to you, father. Don't

forget.

Mr. Lowe. He's a stranger

here. Forgive him. He wanted to help.

What do you mean?I have to thank him. He

just saved my life. Young

man. You're a brave lad.

Thank you, Mr. Love. Hey, young feller.

How'd you like to work for us?

I like my job here. Thank you.

Take it. It's a present. Feel free to

see me. Anytime you can.

Thank you.

Ohh

Hey.

Come along.

Thanks. Eat up. Get yourself down. Here.

This is for you. Madam, that's enough.

I've just had. Ha, come along. A young

man needs more food than that. I need the

energy. Yes, that's right. Eat up. Go on.

Shushang, what's on your mind?

I'm an orphan. I grew up on the streets.

You know, this is the first home I've

ever known.

They're very kind. Let's

just enjoy it while we can.

You like it, Mom?Of

course, of course. It's lovely.

Mom, what's the matter?Nothing.

I-- I-- I'm just

feeling happy. I've never had

a gift like this before. It's so

expensive or so thoughtful.

And nobody's ever called me mum before.

Don't cry. If you like,

call your mum every day. Oh, good.

My dear, Xu Sheng,

we're very happy to have you here. You

brought much joy into our lives. I've

done nothing. You're the ones who brought

joy into our lives. You're

an example to me. You're the best man

I've ever known. My only hope.

We can stay here with you and we can be

one big happy family. Sure.

You know what?It would make us both happy

if you two were to get married,

Uncle.

Xu Sheng, it's about time you both

got married. Why don't you select today

so I can start preparing the feast and

invite guests?I'll

leave the choice up to you.

What do you want to ask me?We're getting

married tomorrow. I want you to tell

me the truth. Do you really want to marry

me?Oh, of course I do. You

wouldn't lie to me. Silly

girl. Sorry, you know by now. Love you

with all my heart. Shushan, I believeyou.

My life is happening.

Yes. Cheers.

Congratulations. Well done.

Congratulations, and God bless you. And

may you have many children. Here's some

lucky money. Thank you, Mom.

You sweet girl. I bet you're going to

have a baby soon. Huh

Oh. Getting married.

How are you, bright groom?

Mr. yen.

All right, Shu Sheng. I'm sure you hadn't

forgotten me. Shu Sheng,

who is this?Do you know him?Mr.

I'm yen Lao Qin. I've known Shu Sheng for

10 years. Shu Sheng, you made a

big mistake, leaving me off the

invitation list. I've had no time to

bring you a gift.

Oz, leave these folk out of it.

Let's talk outside.

You bastardWhy did you shoot him?Why

did you shoot him?You

little bitch

Beat

it! Stop

beating! Shusheng!

Shusheng! I'm here on your wedding

day. I'm such an old friend,

and your bride is such a beautiful girl.

I'm sure you won't mind if I do the

honors for you. I'll let one of my

boys here have the privilege.

Yeah,

Hey, boss, the girl is dead.

Boss,

boss, the cops are coming.

Boss, we better get out of here. This

way, come on.

Serge. Serge. Over there. Come on.

Captain. Captain. One of them's alive. I

don't care how, but tap every informer.

This case is top priority. We want the

killer's gun. My friend. The captain

wants to see me. He sure does. We got a

bad murder case. The captain's in free

await. Go in right away. Right. I'll see

you later. That's right. That's what I

said. The captain wants every available

manner.

Tell us where you come from.

Were the dead people your family?

If you don't tell us, how'd you expect us

to help?Captain,

Officer Ken. HmmYou come

just in time. He's refusing to talk. You

can ask him for me if he

knows who did it. Yes, sir.

Xu Xie?

Do you know him?He and I grew up

together, Captain.

Xiao Xie, it's Xiao Po.

Don't you recognize me?

If you do know him, I'll leave you to get

the details. I'll be waiting for you

outside. All right.

Xu Shang, you look in a horrible mess.

Who did it?I don't know

who did it. And I'm not called Xu

Shang. You made a mistake. Huh

Some mistake. Xu Shang, it's me, Xiao

Po. Sure you haven't forgotten our times

together. I might mistake somebody else,

but you, I'd know you if I lived to be

90. Now,Tell me,

who has done this to you?Shu Sheng.

Mister, the patient needs rest. Please

don't ask him more questions. Right, I'll

keep it short. Tell me, nurse,

any chance of him suffering amnesia?I

wouldn't know. Ask the doctor.

Shu Sheng, maybe you have

got amnesia, but I can help you to

remember. Surely you remember

how we thought the turtle would win, and

we lost the money. So we had to leave

Shanghai. But yen came after us.

He's the one. Shu Sheng.

It was yen who did this to you.

Shu Sheng, you've got to tell me the

truth. I'm working for the police now.

Leave it to me. I'll take revenge for

you. Don't bother me anymore.

Leave me alone.

All right, I'll let you rest. But I

know damn well that you are Xu Sheng

and that yen did this to you. I know

I've got it right.

yen is the murderer. I'll file it in my

report.

Get some rest. But I'll be back to

see you soon.

Chris, how could a patient disappear?I

don't know. He'd gone. When I went to

give him an injection,

I found this on the bed.

What is it?Looks like a turtle. I'm

fully aware it's a turtle. What does it

mean?Means he's my old friend, Yun

Shu Sheng.

What are you doing here?Get lost. Go on,

push up.

What do you want?I want to see Mr. Law.

Who do you think you are?He's busy. Can't

see you. Oh, he'll see me, OK?If you just

show this to him, he'll see me.

HuhThat's the boss's watch.

Wait a minute now. Oh, thank you.

It's four months ago. I'm glad you

called me up. Now, what's your name?

yen Shu Sheng. Oh,

you look in a bad way. What

exactly can I do to help?Mr.

Lope, that's why I've come to see you.

Right, men?The Friends of China Society

are taking over. So please leave.

We're closing up. Okay.

Come on, let's get out of here. Oh, come

on. You're on a big drunk.

Before you go, call Yenna.

Here I am.

Mr. Chou. Mr. Pai.

I've never done a thing to the Friends of

China society. So why are you

giving me trouble?What's the big idea?

If you've got a complaint, let's talk it

over. Not now.

We brought a visitor.

Shu Sheng. Mr. Yan.

Mr. Cheryl, it's private business.

It's got nothing to do with you. It's

between him and me. Who is this guy?

He's only Small Fry. Mr. Yan.

You're wrong there. Shu Chang is one of

us.

Get him.

All right, you win. Anything.

You name your price. Just take it. Go

ahead. Jen, not so fast.

You said it's private. You and me.

Come on. If you come beat me,

you're afraid I'll leave here.

Mr. Joe, what do you say?

You've dealt with us before. We keep our

word. He made a deal.

Okay.

Get a move on.

Over. Run it over.

Look out. He's climbing up top.

Well done, lads. Here's to a good job.

Well done.

Well, look, you really did a good job.

Thank you. Choo Chang. I have a good eye

for a man of talent. You've done very

well. If you happened to be with us, Lou

Cousin might have got it.

Mr. Lowe. You know, you've got the best

team in town working for you. No wonder

you're number one. Everyone in

Shanghai respects you. It's as if you own

the whole town. Sweet

thing. You know how to say the right

things.

Since your boy's done such a good job,

why don't you give him a nice reward?Oh,

right. I'd almost forgotten about it. Shu

Shang, you've done right by me, so I'm

giving you a casino. Oh, Shu Shang.

You can keep a protection fee from one

casino for yourself. From now on, it all

comes to you. You don't know it yet, but

you've become a rich man. Oh,

thank you, boss.

Cheers. Cheers.

Hello, everyone. Let's seat up now.

Thank you. Coming. Who's there?Yang

Shi Shang.

AhAh, how did you know I lived here?

Everyone in town knows where you live.

Famous beauty like you can't hide. Come

in.

You see, there isn't anybody else. Uh,

didn't mean that. I'm not bothered. You

know I'm no virgin. I've had boyfriends

before.

Really?I guess you have a reason coming

here. You didn't just want to talk.

So, I'm going to need your assistance.

Mr. Lowe, you want me?Oh, shoosheng.

Let me introduce you to a friend. Mr. Sun

just arrived here from Chumke. Ohh

Hello. Shusheng,

Mr. Song's our senior representative with

the government. He's asked a favor of us.

Ohh Jen Leung of the Sun Yi

clan has 300 cases of opium. He's

just taken delivery. He's going to make

the deal tonight on Maple Bridge. If the

deal goes through, he'll make a lot of

money. A lot of opium?

Isn't Jen afraid of being robbed?

Anyway, what about the northern warlord?

I won't let him get through. But that's

the whole point. The man behind it is the

northern warlord, General Lee. He was

ordered to sell all the opium for cash

to buy arms to fight against our

government. HmmGeneral Lee's

announced a complete curfew after 2

o'clock. He's called out his troops to

protect Gen's trucks making delivery.

We have to find a way to stop him. I'll

call out every man I can muster and

ambush them on Maple Bridge. Boss, we

could lose up to 100 men doing it that

way. Generally, he can't reach us on our

own turf. But on that bridge, we're in

his territory, and we are very

vulnerable. HmmIf it's for the

sake of our country, then I'm ready to

make that sacrifice. Mr. Lowe's

patriotism does him honor. You have my

respect. Since you've decided to go

ahead, perhaps we can come up with a

slightly better plan. Oh.

You have a bright idea?

Come on, get a move on.

Come on. Hurry it up there. Hurry

it up there, will you?Hey, come on, get a

move on, will you?

Yeah, they're getting ready to leave.

The truck's license number is 5493.

Right, rightThanks a lot.

OK, man, get inside. Let's go. Come on.

Keep your eyes peeled and take it easy.

Don't worry, Father, I will. OK, let'sgo.

Keep going.

On the double.

Good work, everybody.

Left turn, on the double bus.

I thought you said there'd be soldiers

guarding every street corner. I ain't

seen a single soldier all the way from

the walk. What's going on?That's hard.

It's supposed to be all arranged.

Shouldn't be as quiet as this, though.

ohh

What's up now?Routine check.

Soldier, we've been given a special pass,

so let us through. We've got permission

to break the curfew. I'm sorry, mister,

but there's an emergency. I must ask you

to step down while you pass the check.

What the hell got into you fellas

tonight?I thought we're on the same side.

Just what's going on?Yeah, what's going

on?You made a big mistake. We want to see

our pass.

Congratulations. You really showed them.

Right. OK, remove the block.

Perfectly executed. Not a single man

lost. And we've got all of the opium.

Shusheng, I don't know what we would have

done without you. Since you've come on

board, you've proved yourself invaluable.

Mr. yen, if you were in the army,

I'm sure you'd become a general by now.

Us! Us!

Captain Li and Mr. Janahy!And they

demanded to see you. What's it got to do

with the cops?It was out of Shanghai. Hmm

Captain Lee's got the show willing. He's

been on Jen's payroll for years. So he's

bound to try and give us a hard time, of

course. You'd better go inside.

Right, please.

Send them both in. Please?

Captain Lee, Mr. Jen, you're most

welcome. I'm honored by your visit.

Mr. Lowe, I'm sorry to trouble you at

such short notice, but it's an

emergency. I'm sure you will

understand. Of course. Late

last night, an opium shipment belonging

to Mr. Jen was stolen at Kowchung Temple.

They also murdered some of his men. I

suppose you heard about it. Oh, no, I

haven't. I haven'tWho would dare to

rob Mr. Jen's opium?Oh,

Captain Lee. You caught the robbers yet?

Mr. Lu, I've known you a long time.

You're right. Nobody would dare to rob me

of my shipment. Nobody in Shanghai but

you. Eh, Mr. Jen, please remember

your manners. You can't walk in here and

accuse us without any hard evidence. You--

Gentlemen, we do have laws in

Shanghai, laws to be kept.

I'm sure we can talk

about any dispute amicably.

Mr. Low, if you should get some

information, perhaps you'd let me know.

I'm sure Mr. Jen will react calmly.

Oh, Captain Lee, the robbery was outside

Shanghai, so I don't see why it need

concern you. Under what law are you

questioning me?

Because Mr. Chen accuses you of stealing

the opium. And because of your prominent

position in this town, we don't want any

trouble. Trouble, that is, in Shanghai.

Captain Lee is

concerned that you

might unnecessarily start a gang war.

You certainly express yourself well.

Captain Lee, I compliment you and your

staff. You ought to promote him.

Mr. Lowe, I know you'll never admit it,

and you've beaten me this time. But you

murdered my brother. General Lee would

like to remind you to watch your step in

future. If you want some advice,

hand over the opium before it becomes

too late. You understand?

See you around.

Mr. Lowe, you hurt a man.

Don't be a fool. Pinky

dope.

All right, that's

enough.

We're closing this place down.

That's because you're cops. You can't

throw your weight out. You've got an

order. This casino is closed. You

got to be kidding. What a dumb order. If

you really want to know about it, read

the court order yourself. It's perfectly

legal. Any questions?

You go complain to the judge.

Very good,

very good. He's very good, very good.

Comedian.

All

Mr. Law's comrades may pay respects

now. Kneel down.

Kowtow. Second

Kowtow. Third

Kowtow.

Got them burgers. They dare show the

faces here. Good mind to kill them. Got

no proof. Do nothing yet.

Mr. Jane of the San Yi Clan and

Captain Lee.

First Kouto. Second

Kouto. Good,

Captain!

Respects to his family!

They're going too far. Why don't we

attack them?Hold it. Will you calm

down?We ain't ready yet. Not the right

time. Hey, the police and the San Yi clan

are waiting outside.

I reckonYou're guilty. It stands to

reason. The San Yi clan put a

contract out on our boss. The cops

closed down the casino. They're in it

together. I say we deal with them both.

Right. They still want their opium back,

so let's hit them before they hit us.

Right. We got to avenge the boss. Yeah!

Let's go! Let's go! Brothers, brothers,

you got to listen to me. We're a family.

We need a leader. First of all, let's

decide on the new leader. then we'll obey

the leader's decision. We can't just wade

in doing what we feel like. Shu Sheng is

right. And according to our rules,

a new leader has to be selected by a

committee of the elders.

Hey, brothers, I vote for Yun

Shu Sheng. He may not have been with us

for long, but we know how reliable he is.

I vote that he leads

us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeahRight. Thank you,

brothers. But I am still new here.

You need someone with more experience.

I suggest Mr. Cho Hang Chan

be our leader. Shu Shang. You have

the talent. The boss said so. He singled

you out more than once. You're the one

with the courage, you know that. No.

I can't accept. Let's stop arguing. We'll

call a committee meeting to decide. Hmm,

right.

umm Brothers, we've made our decision.

Joanne Chang is the new leader. Let's pay

our respects.

Why did you give up the leadership so

easily?I have no

wish to be leader. Well, what do you want?

To be mayor or prime minister?

Come on, no. I'm

sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. But

I've been wondering, where is it getting

you?You're the one who does the dirty

work. You're the one with the ideas,

didn't you say, you aren't interested in

the future 'cause you have no future, hmm

Shang-Lan, all I ask is to lead a

peaceful life. That's

easy. All you gotta do is leave. We'll

find somewhere to settle down. We'd have

a good life together.

I can't leave Shanghai.

Must wait till things are quietened down.

You're a special kind of man, but you're

a fool. Both. Both

They've already left to kill the captain.

Who gave the order?Mr. Cho.

Shang Lan, I gotta go. Shi Shang?

Yeah, yeahWhat do you say?

Tough out. Get in.

Tell me who gave the order to kill him. I

can't answer that. You can't talk. I

think I know why you felt that you had to

save me. Don't forget, we took a

blood brother's over.

You badly wounded?Okay, don't worry

about me. I'll drop you here.

I've got some further business.

TJ, what happened?Are you all right?Yeah,

I'm fine. Don't worry. Just get some

bandages. I've got to be getting back.

Hang Chang, we've upset General Lee,

so we've blown our business outside

Shanghai. And by shooting the police

captain, you've made life hell for our

operations inside. We had to avenge

the boss. I don't care what it

took. If they didn't have someone helping

them, Jen and that young cop will be

dead. How do they know we're behind

it?Xu Chang, do you know

what we're going to have to do now,

though?Hmm

Some of our men will be charged. They'll

likely go to jail, and the cops can close

the book on the case.

And we're just going to have to cooperate

with the other gang. You all

know why we're gathered here today.

We've plenty to discuss. If we carry

on fighting, none of us will be left

alive. It's like we're committing

suicide, a crazy way to do business.

We know there's more than enough for all

of us. We need to come to some kind of

formal arrangement between us.

That will allow us all to live in peace.

Mr. Joe, you're absolutely correct.

What if someone gets too pushy?What do we

do?Well, we'll just have to set up an

arbitration committee. What if they don't

listen to it?We blow them away. Well,

that's just

going back to the old man doing things. I

agree. It's what we're trying to prevent.

But the arbitration committee can help

stop trouble. And provided we're all

sincere in this,well Good chance to work.

What's this arbitration committee?And

who's going to run it?We'll have to

select a chairman. He'll have his own

legally set up business, which will be a

kind of headquarters. He'll listen to any

disputes and see any profits you make are

invested legally. He'll be like your

representative and will look after your

best interests. And who's going to be

this chairman?

I am.

Where the hell are you?I am the most

suitable. Look at me. I

don't own anything. You've got big

stakes. You're still able to make a large

profit. Well, I'd only take a

salary. Besides, if you

nominated anybody else as chairman, you'd

all be quarreling about it. I'm the

logical choice, that's why. Don't agree.

Nobody's going to give me orders.

But I'm in agreement.

I think Yun Shu Sheng will make a good

chairman. Right.

I second Mr. Jen for Putin.

If everyone else agrees, then so do I.

Since it seems we are in agreement, we've

business to discuss. I've got to put my

plan into practice.

Come in.

Is this guy a friend of yours?Yes, he

was. What do you mean by that?I've

tried to visit him many times, but he

still refuses to see me, so I guess he

doesn't want to be my friend anymore.

According to our information, he controls

all the casinos and all of the

brothels. He's got the leading sher

in the opium business. And everyone in

Shanghai calls him the big boss. We don't

seem to be able to get anything on him at

all. You know your way around here. Go

and find a charge and arrest him. Bring

him in. I'll try my best, sir.

Captain Can, think about your

future. Doesn't look good having friends

like that.

Shang-lan, what's on your mind?

I know how you work. I know why you

didn't want to take over the gang. You

were more ambitious. You wanted to take

over the whole city. You know, I'm not

out of power for myself. I just wanted

them all to see sense. They're all making

a great deal of money. Business is good

for them. So what do they need to kill

each other for?I don't know why you'd

call it business. It's all against the

law. I have more time. I can

make them all go legit. You're

one-of-a-kind. You're a-- A

fool?No. You're smart.

May I help you?Where's your boss?He's

inside. I'll tell him you're here. That's

not necessary. He'll see me. I'm not

going to tell you. Hello?

HelloPlease?Umm

Captain Khan.

Mm-hmmMr. Young. Captain Khan. I

want to talk to you. You've got your

wish, we're talking. Shu Shang, for God's

sake, listen to me. Take a friend's

advice. Get out of the records, and get

out of Shanghai. The police commissioner

himself is after you. You don't have any

evidence?Or are you accusing me of a

crime?It's only a matter of time before

we do. This business front of yours

doesn't fool anybody. Shushang,

I'm trying to help you as a friend. As a

friend?I thank you. Is

there anything I can do to help you?

No. I was just

thinking. When we were together in the

old days, we didn't have much then.

We led a simple life, but we were happy.

Look, I know. Captain

Kahn, you're a good cop. You got your

duty. And we used to be good

friends, but that's all in the past.

Frankly, I didn't want to take this

assignment, but I was ordered to.

I see. Goodbye. Hmm

I'm sure we'll meet again.

Once the turtle turns over, it needs help

to turn back.

It's bad news. We're under surveillance.

We're going to have to leave. Move the

ghost out. Quick. Good. I'm telling you.

Move it. Come on. Get out

of there. Come on. Move

it. All right. Hold it. Here we are.

Leonard. You're under arrest for

procuring women. Get her. All right. Come

on.

I give up. Don't shoot. I surrender.

Come on,

get him.

Yun Shi Shang, it's a evil way to stop

Captain Kam. If he carries on, we're

going to go bankrupt. That's right. He

seems to be raiding our joints every day.

If you don't want to stop to it, I'm

going to have to close shop. I never

liked your opium business. It's filthy.

HuhYou can afford to be high and mighty,

but no opium means I'm out of business.

He's raiding our casinos every day. The

gamblers have stopped coming to us. Shi

Shang. Why don't we ask him what he wants?

You know, every couple's got his price.

Maybe he's got some other weak points,

like women. The guy's got no

vices. Can't reach him like that. Don't

you forget, we elected you as chairman

to protect our interests. You've got to

do something to stop this guy. Will you

calm down?You made me your chairman,

so I'll come up with something. Something

What use is that?I'll try and have a talk

with him. But I'm worried about

Leonard Chai. I've got an idea. They

intend to go for Mac. So

my advice to you now is to keep a low

profile. Don't invite trouble. Huh

You think it's that simple?They'll try to

make Leonard Chai talk. Could put us all

in prison. We've got to do something now.

Right. We can't afford to take chances.

We've got to see you silenced. Mr. Jim,

if we silence him, what about the rest?

When they're caught, we kill him too. We

don't have any choice. Go and get him out

the way or else we're done for. I don't

agree. You'll becoming too soft. Let's

put it to the vote.

Here you go.

Boss?Boss?How come you're in here?

Oh, bad luck. Boss, fancy a cigarette?

Here, have one of mine.

I can do without smoking. You got a light?

Sure do.

It's

about time you made-up your mind.

Got to take the opportunity. You're never

going to be a boss. Do it now. It's your

right. You're the best.

Yun Shu Chang's only a newcomer.

But Chou gave him his support, and now

he's the big boss. Whereas you, you're

still only a small fry. All right,

I'll do it. Smart

paint can. If we can get rid of

Yun and Chou, then we can control

Shanghai. You can take the French

colony,And I'll take the Chinese

district, and we can split what's left

between us.

Come in. Hey, Mr. Chen.

Chen Shushen has gone out for a meeting

with Captain Kai. Hmm

Brother Chen, you better send some more

men, in case it doesn't work.

Please come in. Please.

Shu Shang, why don't you ever take my

advice?Get out of Shanghai. Quit your

job. I can't get away from

here. Are you going to help me?

Impossible. I thought we had a serious

discussion. I'm sure you know, my

own company is a legitimate business.

Since I've been in control, the number of

murders has declined dramatically.

Are you including Linar Chai's death

yesterday?Who are you kidding?You're

wasting my time. I had

nothing to do with that. It doesn't

matter what you say to me. Shu Sheng,

I warned you before, but you refused to

listen. Let's forget we were friends.

You stay as the big boss. I'll still be a

cop. However,

I'm warning you. I will do everything

to destroy you. Captain Khan,

I'm not a criminal. I sincerely despise

those people who are. But some things,

even you know, will never go away, like

gambling. I'm

just trying to cut down the criminal

involvement. If I can make them

see sense, it'll be like a legitimate

business. But you can't make them see

sense. Your Kingdom is crumbling.

The word on the streets is Jan Long is

going to kill you. You better watch your

back. Hey,

fast!

The pig failed. Huh

Why should your own men try to kill you?

The paper was Pai Ching Hai's man. Right.

So Pai Ching Hai's thrown in his luck

with Jen Long. Hello.

Mr. Zhou?Yeah. Pai Ching

here. HuhWhat happened to him?

He's in a restaurant. Someone tried to

shoot him. How is he?

Where is he?Let's send some

men over. Let's take him to the hospital.

Fine. I'll come right

over. Good. Zhou

took the bait. He's going out

immediately. Where will he go to?

He goes straight over to Pai Ching Hai.

How's Shusheng?He's all right.

But you're the one who's in trouble.

you.

Mr. Lowe asked me. He's lonely in

hell. We

looked after you well. We raised you up.

But now you.

I'm sorry, but I reckon it's about time

I was boss.

Yeah. Chairman Yun, you know who

I am. General, I've been expecting your

call. I

assume you've disposed of Cho already.

He's joined your old benefactor low in

hell.

A piping line in your pocket.

That's smart. But I do have another

little surprise. OK. Bring out the goof.

Shu Shang. Shu Shang. Don't hit the trap.

Shang Lan. Shang Lan. It's no use. She's

gone back inside. She's got nothing to do

with this. Leave her out of it. Shu

Shang. I almost forgot.

You're going to be a father soon.

I'm warning you. If you dare to harm a

hair of that girl's head, I swear. Hey, I

wouldn't lose your temper. I'm using here

to make sure we meet.

What do you want?Tomorrow at 9:00.

You know the place, Ho Chan Mountain.

And don't you bring any cops along,

particularly that friend of yours. I want

you to be completely alone, or else you

will never see Shang Man alive again.

OK, I'll be there.

Shushan, let me help. You mustn't stop.

I don't want any cops involved. I'll do

it my way. It's part of the price I've

got to pay. You're being too noble.

Shusheng, we've helped each other before.

I don't want you involved. Don't forget

our oath. We swore to be blood brothers.

On fire.

Take a look.

touché.

Thanks.

Are you OK?Don't worry,

I'm all right.
