Mom! Butter's coming! Butter's coming! I

know. Mother! Mother!

Mother! Mommy's brought lunch for you!Oh.

That's funny, this is the place you were

supposed to meet us. I know. I wonder

what's happened to him.

Good, huhYeah. Not too bad for a few

minutes' work. Better than we've done for

a long time. You're right. That was a

very good idea you came up with. Getting

rid of our old friend. It just seems so

logical. HuhI mean, a two-way split is

much better than a three-way.

You're right. But one way's even better.

Sorry. But you shouldn't have given me

the idea in the first place. You got it

right, babe! You... You're

rotten lost!

Stronger! He's got me!

Come on. Hurry. Hurry. Hurry.

Now, then, you're ready to go. Your

training's over. But never forget

what I've emphasized so often, how

important patience is. And, of course,

forbearance, too. Try to

see the other side. Make

allowances. Don't be rash.

Yes, I know. Off you

go. I think that your tutor's waiting

for you. He wants to give you your final

martial arts lesson. You better go and

see him. Yes, sir, I will.

All right, let's go over that last one

again. Right.

yeah Not bad. But what's this now?

Huh

What's that one called?That one is called

the Union of the Heavens and the Earth.

It's the most powerful blow that's known

to us. And because of this... It must be

used sparingly. Heaven

and earth.

Not bad at all.

Now listen. Keep your movements more

tidy, or you're gonna lose your balance.

You see?

Wasn't I right?

Well, if you think you can do better,

let's see you do it.

You're really good at it. Why didn't you

say so?You didn't give me the chance.

Hey, where are you from?I'm not from

anywhere. I'm just a bum.

You don't act like one.

Yeah, and with your talent, somebody will

give you a job. Haven't yet.

Haven't I?Hmm

What now?Ma, I was looking for you.

What is it?Well, I've just had an idea.

What idea?Oh, I think that guy should

stay. What do you think?Stay with us?Hmm,

that's right. Look, it's been three

months now since father died. I've done

so many things now that need to be fixed

up. Things that you just can't do. Like

chopping the firewood and repairing the

roof. And also, like teaching me to do

somersaults. Mm-hmmDo you think he'd like

to?Do you think he wants a job?He's got

lots of reasons. One, he needs money. And

two, he's on his own right now. And I'm

sure that he'd like company. Thirdly...

Uh.. I'm sure he'll want

to. Let's ask him.

Hey, mister!

Hey, mister! Where is he?

He's gone. It doesn't matter. It can't be

helped. Well, I wanted him to teach me

the new somersault.

Hello there.

Ma, that's him. That's him. Hey,

Mister, what you doing up there?Didn't

you say the roof needs fixing?You see,

Ma, that's just what I was talking about.

Could you come down for a minute?

Let's go in, shall we?

Perhaps you'll tell us your name. Name's

Lung. Oh, Lung means dragon, doesn't it?

Mm-hmmWell, I'm Xiaofu. It means tiger,

your dragon. I'm Tiger. So I reckon we

could have some good fights. Hey, you

watch your tongue, huhI didn't say

anything. Just be quiet. Right. I'll

be quiet then. But you ask him.

Uh.. Uh, Mr. Lung, I...

Uh.. Uh.. Um..

Uh.. What's wrong with you?Why not ask

him?What's the

problem?

You be quiet. All right, I'm going to ask

him myself. It isn't that difficult.

Mr. Love, since my

father died three months ago... Yes, I

know. You know?

One, I need the money.

Two, I'd like some human company.

And thirdly, uh..

I'll take the job. so you'll stay then.

That's very good. I'll make him some food

then, huhI'm sure he's hungry now. It

won't take long.

Ma, give me some money. What do you want

it for?For Mr. Lump. He

needs some new clothes. Uh, you mustn't.

I'm all right. Don't turn the offer down.

You should grab it. My mom can be mean.

Don't you be so cheeky. Now

listen. When you do go downtown to buy

your clothes, be careful. Most of the

folk are nice, but watch out for the

Vuong family. They have a very bad

reputation. Yeah, you're right. They're a

really bad family. The old man's are

worse, but the rest of the family are

much better. Always mixed up in

something. It's not guns, it's women.

Real crooks. You be quiet. Your tongue's

going to get you into trouble. I'm not

scared. I'll bet Mr. Long and fight.

He'll help me if I get into trouble.

Thank you, thank you very much.

Hey, you know what?Those clothes really

suit you. You look very good now. Thank

you. Let's go! Hey, wait.

Thank you. Thank you, sir. Goodbye. Hey,

you know those somersaults you showed me?

I can do them good now. Hey, wait.

Not now. Listen. You come here. You count

that out. Not on the street. Hey,

listen. Those people my mom mentioned.

The Wong family. That's their house. Up

there.

Hey, Dad. Those Japanese who are coming

this afternoon, what do they want?To sell

us some guns and maybe some drugs as

well. Oh, well, that's good. We

can certainly do with some of both.

Hey, what time are they arriving?Sun Tai

has gone down to meet them. Should be

here soon. Oh. Fung Mei?

Mm-hmmAs you know, they're

very keen on women. It's something we

might exploit. So you'll fix up a couple

of women for them as soon as they arrive.

That should get them into a good mood,

all right?So when we get down to

discussing business, well then, things

might go a little smoother. You're right.

You're an absolute genius. Come on. I'm

just an old crook. You're the one with

the intelligence. Hmm

Remember, keep your mouth shut and try

not to say anything. For the rest of the

day, you're supposed to be Japanese. Have

you got that?Yes. We've got the

idea. They're coming.

Go back inside. I'll call her out later

to meet them. Yes.

AhThere you are. Hello. Please, this way.

Well, hello. Nice to see you.

I'll introduce you. This is Mr. San Pen,

who's just arrived from Japan to discuss

some business with your father. Huh, how

do you do?I'm pleased to meet you. It's a

great pleasure. And also, I'd like to

introduce Mr. San's friend. This is Mr.

Lerinski. And this lady is our supreme

commander, the boss's daughter. And

why do you call me that?Because it's

true. I know your father makes the

decisions here, but still he always asks

you your advice. that way, you always

have the last word on everything. Now,

come on. You know that isn't true. Oh,

sorry. Sit down, please. Thank you very

much. Of course, if the Supreme Commander

wants me to... Oh, Mr. San, you're as

bad as he is. Sit

down. Ohh Please, sit down. Thank you.

Mr. Sanpen, you all right?

Yes, I am. Quite all right.

A wasp. Very bad-tempered and poisonous,

too.

Come on, then. I apologize. I'm

sorry. Hope you weren't scared. Oh, no, I

wasn't scared. Ohh

Now then, thought you might like some

female company.

Well... Good afternoon. Huh

Listen, they're Japanese. That's right.

Got them specially for you. That way

there shouldn't be any danger of you

getting homesick here. Well, Japanese

girls aren't all that good.

That's not true. They're very good. Most

Chinese say they prefer Japanese girls.

They're so gentle, and so obedient, and

very skillful. What more can you ask?Mmm,

I don't think so. I've always preferred

Chinese. Well, if you think so.

But don't say that at home. I mean, what

would your mother say?

Sorry. Just a little joke, that's all.

Oh, go on then, and join our guest. Yes.

Hey, we'll leave them alone. Get someone

to clear away the table. See you later.

Right.

Thank you, friends. Thank you very much.

We do appreciate that. But that was just

a warm-up item. A sort of hors d'oeuvre.

But now comes the highlight. This Ching

Ching here, my clever daughter. And I'm

sure you're all going to like her, huh

Yeah, she's good, huh

Thank you. You're very kind. And now

then, if any of you would contribute to

us, I'm sure we'd be most grateful. Thank

you very much indeed. Thank you very

much. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Mister.

Now wait, not

not so quick, huhWhoa, whoa, whoa,

whoa, whoa, whoa, what's wrong?You,

you, you, you, you, you,

mocking me.

No! Yeah, yeah

Yes, you are.

Sorry. Now don't get mad. Can't help it.

He's a stutterer. What's that?

He's a s-s-s-s-stutter.

Shut it

up! My name's Wong. I see, Mr.

Wong.

Ah I think you're good.

What do you all--Did you

come?

Uh.. my... my house!

Sorry, I'm afraid that we can't. We've

already booked in the next village. We

have to be there tomorrow, and they've

already paid us. Ohh Sorry, very

sorry. So, my...

You can't go now.

I'm afraid that we have to go, though.

Tell you what, as soon as we get back,

we'll go to your place. That's right,

that's right. You're right.

I... I.. play you...

just as much. I...

I'm rich. I'm very rich.

No, no, no, no, come on. Get

your things.

W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w--

All right. HuhWhat's this?

Oh, my. Yeah?I asked them to come to

my house, to perform.

They won't. I see, but it

isn't important. I

want them. You got to-- to

make

them. You look there.

Oh, there. I

can fix it.

Right, you can go. But the next time you

come to our place-- Yes, thank you. No,

no, no, no, wait. What about all the

money we missed here?What about that?

So what?So you lost her, move

it. So you can

get it next time. Ohh What

if we don't come?

Tough luck. In that case,

you better come. What What do

we don't do?

Here. Uh, all right,

all rightWe'd better go now. Let's get

our things together. Come on.

You know, that really is something, isn't

it?I mean, what were you thinking?All

right, all right, now forgive me. Come

on, now forgive me.

Why didn't you make them come to our

place, ehYou! HuhWhat are you

doing?You bully! Huh

All right, g-g-get him!

Hit him! Hey, hey, hey, hang on.

I'm very sorry. He's just a child now.

Forget it. Hey, heyCome on, then.

Wait!W-w-when you

s-beat to me, you you say

s-s-sir. I'm sorry.

Very sorry, sir.

Ah I'll-beat you

up! Oh,

my. He hit me. He hit

me!You get him!

Right. Wait. Just hold it. We

don't want to beat anyone up

unnecessarily now. Lingmu?Yes.

Make him get down and crawl in between

your legs. That should teach him. Show

him who runs this place. Right. I'm not

going to!

I won't! I won't!

Well, in that case, the older one can

crawl for him then. Yeah. Come

on.

Right. I will. Oh,

you mustn't! You can't! Don't do it!

Don't do it! Don't do it!

You can't! You can't do it!

It's all right. I'll explain.

No! Don't crawl! Don't crawl! No! Don't

do it! No! Yes, Sherra! Don't

do it! Please! Don't do it! Don't

do it! No! No

No No

Who are

you?Jinhan Guang.

Oh, the well-known karate instructor. I'm

sorry, just a misunderstanding.

He doesn't think it's a misunderstanding,

does he?What do you

want?Not a thing.

Just making sure you don't get too out of

line. Go get him!

Lingo! Hold it.

Come on. Right. Come on, let's go.

Thanks a lot. Oh, that's all right. Glad

I could help. It was a pleasure. See you.

Good-bye.

HuhI may. What was the idea of you

stepping in like that?Why?That's obvious.

He was beating you, all of you. And he

was doing it in public, too. That's why,

if you have to know. We-we'll

get him.

We-we will. Yeah,

Lucy! All right.

Just calm down. When your father brings

those guns in, it'll be different then.

So then, be patient. No, not going to

listen. He was just a coward, and that's

all. Crawling around like an animal. Oh,

dear. Can't I make you understand, boy?He

did that only for your sake. My sake?

Well, he didn't get bothered. I don't

need friends like that. Keep your voice

down. Stop shouting. Otherwise he'll hear

you. So I. Don't care if he

does. In fact, I want him to. I hate him.

I hate him. Shut your mouth. Really.

You're stupid. You caused the trouble,

but now you're blaming him. Don't care

what you say. That's a coward. I don't

want friends like that. If he

hadn't done it, what would you have done?

Could you have beaten all of them?I'd

have had a try.

You're the only one who's left to me. If

you were killed, what would I do?Mom.

You're right. I'm

wrong. Mom. I'll tell him.

Mr. Love! Mr. Love!

Mom, this airlock's gone. He let us know.

You see?

I'm afraid that he has gone. Mom!

Teacher, perhaps you were wrong. I've

tried hard. I've tried to forbear. I've

tried stepping back. But when they step

forward-- Teacher, I'm

trying, but I'm only human.

Teacher!

The bother! Shall we

rest a little?Rest, I'm

tired! Ah, all right, let's rest.

The Wonksman.

Have you been waiting for us?

No, we're just resting.

Well, then, when you've rested, you can

come with us.

Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-what-fa?

Apparently, the boss's son has taken a

shine to your sister. So we've got an

order to bring you back to him. Oh,

w-w-w-w-wait, sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh, uncle

with you!

Guys, go get the girl. All right. Right

Dad, I'll

handle him.

Oh my God. Oh my God. They've

killed him. What am I

trying to do?

All right. They're all dead.

And the girl?Dead too. You idiots!

Come on. Time for bed. It's getting late

now. Oh, I'll wait till he comes back.

Oh, dear. It's too late. He won't be

coming back today. Well, if you

must wait up, at least eat something. No.

I'm not hungry and not tired. Oh,

you're too much. He will come back,

Ronnie. He has

to. I want him to.

Hey! Hey

there!

Come back!Come back!

Here I am! Mr. Love! Mr. Love!

Why'd you go away?Sorry. The main thing

is that I've come back, huhWell, I'm

pleased you did. Should've seen him. He

wouldn't sleep. Wouldn't even eat

anything. Sorry.

It was my fault. Hey,

who's she then?Don't you remember her?

Oh, what should I do?She was with that

traveling circus. Oh,

I thought she's with you. Hey, oh

gosh! She's been hurt!

It's all right. Don't cry, no?Just you

see. We can fix that up. It's not

them. It's them. It's my family.

Don't worry. Listen, I'll look for them

tomorrow. No. I know they're all dead.

I saw them killed. They

can't be. After all, we did check

the place. There were no bodies, nothing

at all. I think

they're hiding up somewhere. Think

so?

It's nearly dawn. Now, come on.

You must eat something. You'll feel a lot

better then. Thanks a lot. But

I'm not hungry. Hey, Ma, go ahead and

cook something. They'll probably want to

eat it anyway. And if they don't, I can

always finish it off. You glutton.

Hmm

I wonder who that can be now.

Especially at this time of the morning.

Quickly, go and bolt the door. Right.

Listen, you better go on upstairs and

stay there. Right.

Now come on, get up.

In you go, and don't make a sound.

Listen. Hey, what you doing?

Open it.

Ohh

You boy. Who else is at home?

Just three of us. My mother and me. And

an old friend of ours. What can I do for

you?Did anybody come around here last

night?Huh, we're sure. Where are they?

Oh, ohh when did they go?Oh, a

long time ago.

Did they?You wouldn't by any chance be

lying to me now, would you boy?

My mother told me never to tell lies. All

right. Who are these people then and

where they gone to?Prince of ours. You

see, they come and visit us every night.

They've been doing it for years now. All

right. Play games, would you?Hey, hey, hey

Stop that. Mr. Long.

He just hit me. Hey,

just stop exaggerating. He was only

playing with you. Now then, Sir,

how can I help you?

Keep an eye on them. Right. Come with me.

Take a look up there. Hey, hey,

my mother is late. Shut up.

Please.

What's that blood from?Uh, I accidentally

cut my arm. Let me have a look.

You see?Why haven't you dressed it?

Nothing to put on it.

Get up.

Get up!

Ah All right. Just a woman, that's all.

Right.

Uh, OK now?Mm-hmmMom,

come on down. It's OK. Uh,

listen, where's the girl?She's

here. Air?Mm-hmm

Where's she, though?

You're safe now. They've all gone.

There's nothing to cry about now.

Be quiet.

Hey, listen now. Where were you hiding

just now?'Cause I thought you were under

the bed. In the

ceiling. Mr. Lung put me up there.

Oh, so that was it. You've got to admit

it. Mr. Lung's really a smart guy. Oh,

that's right. How did you get that cut?I

did it myself. Oh. Well, why'd you do

that?He was getting too suspicious.

Mainly 'cause you were nervous. And when

he spotted that blood, I had to do

something. I said that you were really a

smart guy.

Unfortunately, I'm not smart enough,

though.

All right. Come on. Hurry.

Get back. I'd rather die than go with

you. Really?

Well, if we didn't have special orders to

take you alive, you'd have been dead long

ago.

Hide!

Get out.

Get out! Huh

You idiot. Didn't you have enough

yesterday?Some people never learn, do

they?Right. Step outside. I'll

fix you up. Go on.

No way, wait. Oh,

no.

Come on here.

Bastard

Good! Good Good

Hey,

come on. What do we do?HuhGet him!

Get him right out.

I think that it's my turn now.

Hey, boss, boss, are you okay?You're all

right, boss. Come on. Come onYou did it!

You beat him!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

That's good to hear.

But you'll have to crawl a bit, too. Huh

Gone!

All right?I reckon that you're going to

enjoy this. Hey,

come on! Hurry up! Come on! Quick!

Hurry up! Come on!

Come on Come on

Hey,

boss. It's all right. Ohh

Good! Good

Stop them!

Oh, look! It's my brother! I'm here!

Brother, where's the others?D-d-d-d...

No swine kill them! What?

It's them! Those of the kills!

That's right. And now we're gonna finish

you off as well. Right! Get

them! Right! Hey!Oh my

God. Aren't you going to go and help?Me?

My choice to let them through.

ohh Hey. Hey,

hey

Hal then. Well, see, she doesn't need

Hal. She can't handle them fine.

Listen. We ought to try and get these

bodies out of the way. Yeah. I'm going

out of town now.

Hello. HelloWelcome. Huh

Hey, t-t-tell me. Well, I have some

l-lingua... come back... with the

girl. Huh

Sorry, got no idea. But if he's not back

soon, I'll go get the girl myself.

Well, th-th-th-th-thank you.

C-and wait.

I hear you've been sleeping with Lou's

daughter-in-law. Yeah, she isn't bad at

all. Well, when you get bored with her,

let me know, will you?

HmmHey, what are you doing there?

That's a good example of the old proverb.

Little things, please little minds.

What about little stones never being able

to break big rocks?Another proverb.

That's where you're run, my friend, as

you're about to find out.

Listen, I can get some young girls, if

you like. Young girls?Really?

Ohh

Just where are you taking me to?I want to

have a talk. A talk?You promised me

young girls. Who wants a talk?

I want to. It's about your boss.

The way things are going now, there's

going to be trouble. That's certain.

It's only a matter of time now. A lot of

people are going to get killed, and you

wouldn't want one of those to be you, huh

HuhWhat are you getting

at?

I'm just trying to save your life. HuhI

remember who you are now. The guy we had

trouble with. Damn you!

You should take my advice.

Got you again. Well, what do you want

this time?Get him.

So you are here.

Oh, so you really can fight.

No. Get her, right?No, come on.

Oh, no, no

Oh, please, don't hurt them. They didn't

mean any harm now.

Mom! Mom!

Mom!

I'm going to kill you!

Hey, what's this?It's my mother.

One minute just killed her!And they took

that girl away!

That's it. That's the last straw.

All right.

Come on.

Ohh She hit me!

She...

Don't hit her.

Don't you worry. I'm not gonna let her

hurt you. Thanks! Thanks a

lot! There's no need to thank me.

Just go ahead and enjoy her, huhI mean,

she's all yours now.

Good taste.

ah I must confess I never

expected you.

Well, apparently we have something in

common.

I'm an expert boxer, and from all

accounts I've heard, so are you. That's

right. Well, I don't think we've got

much in common. I box for pleasure,

but you debase the arm. by robbery and

murder. Shut up!

You've got a nerve coming here and

lecturing me?Ah, it's not a

lecture. I was hoping I could get you to

see the light. Then you wouldn't have to

go the same way as your two friends. I

had to kill those two.

Damn you.

Pull it. Well, for a

boxer, you're a very good long-distance

sprinter. I assume that you've had a lot

of practice of this. HuhYour favorite

technique.

You're not just a crook. You're a fool,

too. I mean, you should realize what I've

done. I could kill you so easily now.

You better go. What?You peasant!

I'm gonna show you!

Well, that's that. You've had yourchance.

Hold it!

You. You there. Just

what the hell is going on here?Busting my

place up. HuhI'll tell you. Your

men murdered my family in cold blood. You

lazy killer. Killer?

That's a serious accusation to make.

Even so, just assuming you were right,

what can you do?She'll make you pay for

it.

Who are you?I'm a dispatcher.

For instance, in the last two hours, I've

dispatched four of your men to a far-off

destination. They're waiting for you, no?

You. That's right.

I'm afraid they're rather dead. Yeah?

They are, are they?Well, you're the one

who'll be keeping them company.

Cripple woo! Hey!

Just think back, 15 years ago, the day

you kicked a boy into the river. You

remember?

So you didn't drown that day. Well,

you're gonna be sorry that you didn't.

All right. Let's finish this.

Get him! Yeah?Just a minute. Eh

Listen, my bodyguard here needs practice.

EhIs he good?Mmm. The best that there

is. Oh. All right.

Listen, why don't we move up there?We can

get a much better view. Oh, yeah, yeah,

please.

Help me. You can kill me.

Huh All right, you. One of us is going to

die. Well, I have no intention of dying.

Hold it!

Now, wait. Don't you do anything, Rash.

Can't you see?I'm a Japanese.

HmmUh, you know. Well, I have nothing

against the Japs but you're different.

You helped him. You sent in guns.

Helped him build up this murdering gang.

I ought to kill you off first. You can't

do that. You can't do that. I

haven't done anything. Nothing that's

really bad. Let me make a deal

with you. I'll give you that whole

shipment of guns. Then you've really got

him. Without the guns, he'll be finished.

What do you say?HuhYou rat.

Well, Wong, did you hear that?What do you

think of your Japanese friend now, huh

Come on, it was just a joke.

Of course it was just a little joke. Well,

nobody's going to regret him. But now I

believe it's our turn, isn't it?Hmm

My son!

My son, my boy, my boy, my

boy.

All right. It looks like you've evened up

the score quite a lot.

Come on. Come on

All right. Where are you?

Not dead yet.

You will be. Well, we'll see.
