Tell me, sir. Why do you want to see?Come

see you. Kelly! I'm from his village.

I come from Sincere. Oh, come

this way.

Hey,

it was in an

alley right near here. And they came.

Who did it?We saw two men. One

was a loser, and one was a stranger.

Both ran off.

Hey, he's the one.

Right. That's him.

He came from Tin Sin to see the boss. Huh

Well, now, you've a nerve.

He comes here all the way from Tin Sin,

kills our boss,And then he has the nerve

to walk in this place. Turn his heart

out. The swine. Wait,

wait, no, wait. Listen,

what is this?What have I done?You were

looking for Fong Cu, right?

Well, that's Fong Cu.

That's Mr. Fall.

Now stop pretending. It's no use now.

Who's behind all this?

I never dreamt. But the man who was

attacked was Funk CU.

If it wasn't for that rickshaw man...

We've had enough! Hit him! Hit him!

Hit him! Hit

him! Hit him! Hit

him!

Now listen. It wasn't me.

All right, I've no choice.

That'll teach you to bully strangers.

yeah

I'll

get some. Come on.

Ready?Listen,

I doubt it wasn't much. I mean, because

of me. That fella is still alive. Oh,

Robert. Hey! I tell the truth.

You see, this guy was killed. He was

covered in blood. This fella grabbed him.

Pow! Cut his heart through. Hmm

Talk. Who did it?I don't

know. Take him!

I don't know.

I swear.

Yeah, come on. Bring

him in. How is that?

Now then, the truth.

I saw this guy being chopped with an axe.

Don't know who it was. I got the hell

out. You see the killer's face?No.

That him?

HuhHim.

He was sitting in my rickshaw. Couldn't

be him. So loser, I guess you

know the penalty for lying to me. Of

course. Wouldn't dare lie to you. But

even if you kill me, there's nothing I

can tell you.

The man tells the truth. I wanted to go

and stop the killer, but he wouldn't let

me go though. Held me back. Oh,

you saw the killer?Only his back

and I couldn't see his victim's face.

I know this. I'm going to get thatkiller.

Listen, I traveled a long way

here, down from Tianxin to

find an old compatriot, your boss,

Mr. Fong. And now

he was murdered right in front of my eyes

as he was an old friend.

I have a duty to perform, a duty to

avenge his murder.

And if I should fail in this duty,

then I'll be like this couple.

Great.

This one here is an old friend of Fawn's.

Songa Lu. That's one of his escorts,

Chang Fa Chu.

This is Chu Chang Kui. He has a big

business at the south gate.

This man is the companion of Madam Nine.

These men work for Tong Chin Seng. His

best man is 1 Kulong and the

other Lo Fan.

This one is the famous fighter, Yu

Yu Tang.

Brother.

Hey, heyHey, wait.

Hey, wait. Hey, get in. Get in.

Hey, Mister. Don't go.

Mister, please get in. I'll pull you.

I'll show you around. You need a guide.

Come on, get in. Listen, no need to pay.

It's free of charge. We're old friends,huh

Listen. Hey, listen.

I think you're around. Cost you nothing,

huhCome on. Hey, Mr.

Shuan. Hey!

Your name is Shuan?Yeah, that's

right. They say you want

Feng Xu's killer. That's right.

this place is dangerous you better leave

here a threat no

advice but you're no friend of mine

I'm from Tianjin

what's your name it's you Yu

Yu Tang so you're the fighter I've heard

so much about Yu Yu Tang

It seems I am well known.

But look, this business of avenging

farm, it isn't your duty.

Do you know anything about his murder?

There is nothing I can tell you,

except that advice I gave you.

Keep out of it.

I'll see

you. Mister, my name's Cheng.

I have a message to give you. Well then,

what is it?Well, my boss,

he wants to talk to you.

Your boss?Yes, Lunga Lu. Heard of

him?Please.

Mrs. Yu, please.

Camille. Our master reminds you here

as a courtesy. And then what happens?You

beat up his men.

I didn't start it. Everybody saw that.

Blame your men. Go to hand. Right, right

All right, all rightAll of you,

please stop this. Mr. Ship,

I'm sorry. It's just a misunderstanding.

These men here are too impulsive.

I guess they all hurt how good you fight,

and they hope to learn from you.

I was invited to come here to meet Mr.

Lung. Now that I'm here, I'd like to see

him.

Please. Oh,

my beard.

Here's my boss, Mr. Lung.

Mr. Shirin, welcome, welcome.

Ah Chung, you may go. Sir.

Sit down.

You're quite a special man, really

something. And you've a special

way, with your guests.

I hear you've sworn to catch Mr.

Fong's murderer. That's right.

As it should be. As it should be.

Mr. Sean, I think we'll get

on and eventually we'll become friends.

And if there's anything at all I can do

to help you, anything, then tell

me. Not right now,

but thank you. And if you do catch the

killer. What do you intend to do

with him, may I ask?I'm

sorry, I don't get you. Eye for

an eye, tooth for a tooth.

You could kill him.

Less likely give him to the

police. Though why bother them?

The country has laws. They should be

obeyed, and I shall do that.

Oh, you'd give him to the police then?

Is that what you're saying?That's right.

Not a very good idea.

And why not?Mr. Shawn, you're

new here. You don't know what the local

scene is. Mr. Fong's main

income was gambling, and he had a whole

lot of big casinos here. If the

police investigated this, then because

my operation was closely connected with

his. I could be dragged into all this.

If you need help, like I said,

you can use my men all that you need.

But if you do catch a man, I hope that

you'll settle with him yourself.

Nice and clean. No loose ends left.

Well, thanks for your advice. Goodbye.

Now wait.

Mr. Sean, I hope

you're going to be sensible now.

We don't want any killers delivered

alive. Goodbye.

Hello. You again?Yes. Been waiting for

you. Two dear. Huh

No charge.

Hey, hey, Mr. Shearn. Don't go,

Mr. Shearn. Mr. Shearn. I told you I

won't charge you. I promise. Hey, please

get in. This is your-- why are you so

stubborn?Huh

Mr. Shuan, my men are rather

stupid. My apologies. I'm

sorry. So it was you who sent them.

Well, I'm sorry. I had to tie them up.

Like to ride with me?Listen,

just what is it you want?They tell me

that you're after the murderer of Fong Si

Yu. Yeah. I

suspect someone, but I've no evidence,

though. Who?Tung Chin Seng.

Tung Chin Seng.

But that man is very smart,

so be careful. Well, thanks very

much. What's your name?

Goodbye.

Hey, Mr. Choon, you better be careful

with that woman. It's you again.

Hey, I've been chasing you. Of course

it's me. Please get in.

Hey, hey, Mr. Shun. You're too dear. I

sold you. Right. As from now on, I'll

take you anywhere free of charge. But why?

HuhIt's just that I admire you. I simply

want to help in any way I can.

Thank you.

Lua Lung stepped in, huhTried to stop

you. That could be

suspicious. But while I'm not clear

what he's up to, for sure, he's not the

killer. You, you time. He knows

something.

Like you said, he won't talk. Do you know

where he lives?He lives with

that woman, Mrs. Nine.

Mrs. Nine. Well, just who is she?

She's not a respectable woman. She worked

as a whore for many years, made a big

fortune. Now she's operating a few

casinos here. Yu Yu Tang was

her boyfriend and her bodyguard.

Tell me, do you think this woman could be

connected with the murder?Uh,

I don't know. But if you're

interested, why not go along and see her

and talk to her?King can take you. But

she's a tough case, so watch it.

Sit down.

This is Xun. You

know Yutang?Well, we're both

from Tianxin, so at least we're kinsmen.

Oh. How

did you know that he lived here?It's

hardly a secret.

You're right.

Everybody knows that he lives with me.

Well, since you're acquainted with him,

then I may as well tell you

these two days. I've been looking all

over Shanghai for him.

We got on real well,

but he left without saying a word.

and I've no idea where he's gone

well maybe he has some problems

problems just a guess

I only met him the once

ohThere's a man

called Feng Siu. You know him?

Well, I met him. A northern gentleman,

I believe. He's just been murdered.

I heard about it.

Yu Tang seemed to know something aboutit.

Can't be. Those two had no quarrels.

What's more, Yu Tang's no killer. He's

gentle. Doesn't like violence. You think

it was him?No. What I

meant was that he may know something.

Possible.

He gave me some advice. He told me

keep out of it. Did he

say who the killer is?

I think he knew, but wanted to protect

you. Could bring you trouble. I

mean from the killer.

If that's the case, he's very silly.

If there's trouble, I've got to help him.

I'd do anything for him. Anything at all.

He knows that.

Tell me that time, how

was he?He seemed quite depressed.

That's very bad.

Will you see him again?I'm not

sure.

Well, it's obvious he's hiding from me,

so I'll just ask you to give him a

message. Whatever the problem,

I'll help him

and I'll be waiting for him. All

right. I'll tell him if I should see him

again. Why did you come to Shanghai?

To see Mr. Fong. You see, he

was my kinsman. Oh.

I'll see you, Mr.

Shun. I didn't know Fong

well, but Yutang told me

that he was a very good man. So if you

need any help, don't hesitate to ask for

my help. All right. Thank

you. Goodbye.

Go with him. Right.

Please.

Are you Mr. Shun from Tianzin?

They tell me that you're after Mr. Fong's

murderer. That's

right. There's someone who wants to talk

to you. About what?The killer.

The killer of Mr. Fong.

Right.

Father, why haven't you can't come?

He said he was going to be here. It's all

right. He'll be here. Hey, so fun.

You'll soon be a grown woman, so it

doesn't become you to behave like achild.

Mr. Tong, I'll go with you. Yes, yes

So fun. Go inside.

My name's Tong. Tong Jinseng. Yes,

that you've heard of me. Most people have

around here. I have. Thought

so. Thought so. Sit. Sit.

Your investigations. How are they going?

I hear you've learned something. That's

right. That's why I invited you

here. I'm hoping that you can help me.

I'm a stranger. How could I help you?

I'm hoping that you'll act discreetly.

Now that you'll take my advice, you'll

help me in that way.

Today's my daughter's birthday. Please

stay for a drink. What I just

told you. Think it over. Now,

please. Oh, now, Uncle,

how are you?I came late. Hope you're not

angry with me.

Oh, this young man. Oh, I'm sorry.

This is a new friend of mine, Mr. Shun.

This is a well-known young lady about

town, Miss Tooth. Come on.

It's not true that I'm that well-known.

And please don't call me Mr. Tooth. Call

me Zuwa. All

right, my friend, you be careful.

These young women, they need watching.

No, come on. You stop that.

Well, come on, let's go inside. My

daughter's our fan.

Hey,

I'll introduce you. This is Mr. Sean. Oh,

they're so pretty.

I've always wanted some like this, but I

couldn't find them. Thanks very much.

Right. Let's go in.

Mr. Tong, I hear there's a rumor

Mr. Fong was in fact killed by Liu Fong.

We all know that Liu Fong is one of your

best men, and without orders he would

never do anything like that.

Do you believe that?

Well, now, unless you can prove

otherwise, everybody's going to believe

that. You're not a young man,

but you're younger than me, so

please show more respect. Mr. Tongue.

What are you saying?That when you're

older, you're allowed to get away with

anything?

Mr. Tongue, I must go.

Mr. Tongue, I'm sorry. Sometimes I say

the wrong--

Excuse me.

Hey, boss, they got away. So then it

seems someone's trying to frame me.

Well, now, see what I mean when I

said to act discreetly?That advice

still holds.

Mr. Tone, I agree. I must be careful,

but I won't stop. I'll go on

all right now you'll always be welcome

here thank

you goodbye

Hey, Mr. Sean. Get in.

You have to leave. You're in danger.

Who are you?A messenger.

Meet you tomorrow at the fortune teller.

Let's go,

Mr. Shooter. These idiots were sent by

Mr. Tone to protect you.

God damn you, you bastard you

fortune tellers.

Master. Master.

It's you. Why are you creeping

around?Thought you were

sleeping.

Just wish I could sleep.

Achun. Yes. I'll leave for a few days.

Tomorrow you close down the business

temporarily until I get back. Is

something wrong?Never mind. Sure.

Yeah. Do you think you

can escape me by running away?

Now look. Listen to me. Listen to

me.

Well, sir, what's your wish?

Want your fortune, know the

future, your prospects of

marriage or death?I want a

word analyze.

The significance of the word done.

Context. A man.

HmmA man.

HuhNot good. Not

good. In some senses,

done means finished. And taking

that further, finished means to come to

an end. Ended,

finished, expired.

It seems this man has come to an end,

expired. Done

starts with D.

D occurs twice in dead.

So it seems...

Well, sir. Ah

It doesn't look good.

Seems that the man you're looking for is

most probably dead now. I think

you're wrong. He's not dead. Not

to hear to believe what you want.

All right, the man I met, you know him,

and he told me to come here. Why say he's

dead?

HuhI simply analyzed it from that word

you gave me. Hey, tell

me what?If you don't believe

what I've told you, then you don't have

to pay for my advice. There's no charge.

Well, I can ask you one more question

then. If it's free, who's the killer?

I don't know. Tell me.

Well now, a young man. Hooray, very good.

Hey, let's talk, not

fight. All right,

come on. Let's hear you talk then. Who's

behind this?I don't know.

who are you the chief of his group

Tong Pao

well now you're here tell me who

killed that messenger you want to know

right Tong Cheng Seng

you're wrong Tong was at home it couldn't

have been him the whole

performance was meant for your benefit

Tong and his men arranged it why should

Tong would have killed your men to fool

youDon't follow that.

Well, in our view, Tong is the prime

suspect in the murder of Fong, but we're

still looking for the proof of that. What

kind of proof?Not sure yet,

but we're worried about you, though.

What do you mean?You may die. It

doesn't add up. If he wanted, I'd be

dead. Why go through all this performance?

The show is for the others, enough for

you. Right now, most people in this place

know you're trying to track down the

murder of your kins and Mr. Fong. So he

can't afford for you to die yet. Play a

false trail and then kill you.

Well, since you know that it was Tung who

murdered your messenger, why don't you

take some action?

Before we act, we must get proof.

Is it you're afraid of something?The main

thing is to prove Tung's involvement in

Mr. Fong's murder. Well, now,

you sent a message that you wanted to see

me. What for?Well, if you want what

we do, we're hoping you'll work with us

and that you'll stay real close to Tong.

In short, be our agent. I'll only do

what I want to do. At least, in the last

analysis, we're both after the same

thing. That's Fong's killer. How can

I contact you?if you don't we'll

contact you listen Mr.

Tong is a very sharp and a very devious

man you be careful

hmm I will

madam already

of course it is it's a small thing

and I'm taking part keep my hand in hmm

Tell me, what do you think this man,

Shun?Pretty good.

Madam, you getting fond of him?Now

look, you promised me though. Have you

forgotten?Silly boy,

as if I forget.

But Shun's a good fighter and I may

need him. Madam, he's

dangerous. That's a fact you should bear

in mind. You mean

he could beat me?

Yes. Ah

YesBut

where?

Right away.

New time. This time,

let's see you get away.

Master Fong never had dealings with Tong,

as far as I know. Never mentioned

anything?No.

And it's not really likely that somebody

in Fong's position would have occasion to

come into contact with Tong in any way.

Mr. Tong seems fairly relaxed.

My friend, you

don't know these people. A

man's position here is all he really

cares about.

Come in.

What is it?A man has arrived.

It's a Mr. Schun. Show me.

Mr. Yu?Mr. Yu?

Mr. Yu, Mr. Yu.

HuhMr. Shoon, lie down.

Don't move. Where's you?When I

arrived, I found you lying at the

entrance. Uh, didn't see you,

Tam.

But I saw his body. It was in there.

Mr. Shoon. You must have had a bad dream.

Come on, you rest now.

I should think you're exhausted. I

quite like you, you know.

Sorry, I must go. First rest a while.

Why kill him there?And who did it?There's

another suspect to consider.

Who?Me.

I'm sure people suspect me. They

think I was jealous of Fong, and

that's why I killed him. And I've

no doubt that people have mentioned this

to you. You don't believe it.

You may not, but others will.

But if you're innocent, why kill what the

others think?

Easy to say. But

still, in our line of work,

reputation's everything. And

I have to prove that my hands are clean

in this. What will you do?

When Fong's murder is finally caught,

I shall dismiss all the men and close the

business down. After that, I'll go and

retire in the tea house. Maybe

your enemy wants just that.

You'd be playing into their hands.

But I've made-up my mind.

Mr. Schoen, Mr. Tung's car is waiting.

Tung's daughter wants me to take her to

the theater. She's a difficult girl.

Always has been. You be careful,

huhUh,

yes. It's a young people's world now.

Master. What is it?

It's agent.

Why?Because I want to be

bossy! That's why! It's

really quite simple!

My purse! You know My

purse! My purse!

Listen, where's the girl?

Who are you?I'm Liu Fong. We just

received a message. Someone's after Miss

Tong. Mr. Tong sent us. My God,

let's get back.

That's strange.

Hey, Mister, this is for you.

Dear Fung, someone's taken the girl. Tell

Tong. Right.

Mr. Sun, we're after Mr. Tong.

Well, I represent him in this. Right.

One, Tung must first publicly admit

that his men killed Fong Siyu. Two,

we want the killer. I'll pass it on. But

first, I want to see the girl. You can't.

Now listen, you've been tricked. What?

They don't have the girl, and they never

did.

AllWhere is she?

At her home. What?Tung

arranged all this. That's all we know.

Now, look, what's been going on?

All right. This time you've been too

smart.

Listen, you. My father tried to help you,

but you had me kidnapped. Then let go.

But why?What's the idea?

Your father knows more about that than I

do. You lie. So then, back

upstairs.

I really should have known it, but you

were the one behind these killings. It's

funny. I respected you. It's difficult to

believe that you're that sort of killer.

Now look, just you relax. I'm relaxed.

Complete this. End tyranny.

In our country. So you--

I'm Agent 7, sent here by HQ.

chief of Southern Network, and I've just

had a report in that you're one of us

and that you'd be contacting me. Welcome,

welcome. I knew Fong as my senior

assistant in this area.

I'm very sorry for what I said. Yeah,

it's all right, it's all right. Fong was

our controller here, but this, you

know. Listen, I'm

not clear what happened tonight.

Well, Nor am I. Sao Fan was

certainly kidnapped, but as soon as Liu

Fong left the house, she was suddenly

delivered back here. Miss Tong know any

of the men?All she

knows is how to enjoy herself. She's no

interest in anything else.

You see, the Japs are smuggling in goods

of various types, and we've been trying

to find out. who's controlling them here.

And I'm sure those killings are related.

Well, who do you suspect?The main

suspects left are Tu Chang Kui and Madam

Nine. Who's Tu Chang Kui?He's Tu Siwa's

brother. And Madam Nine's just a woman.

It's hard to believe she could be behind

all this. Well, then we better make a

start with Tu Chang Kui. Right.

Now then, you talk to his sister first.

Who knows, you may just get some

information there.

Lufang, take care of Jung

Pao. Right. Listen, unless

there's no choice, I don't want any more

killings. Lufang, no

matter what you come up with, you must

meet me in the park at dawn. Right?

Hey.

Man of mine wants to see you. Umm

You go on. Right.

Please tell Madam 9 that I've arrived.

So it's Mr. Shearn. What do you want?

Your mistress asked me here.

Not likely. I mean,

why should my mistress want to see a

killer like you?And just what does

that mean?Stop pretending. You know

what.

Explain what you mean.

I mean, you're going to pay for having

killed my brother Cheng.

Huh,

Cheng?

Tell me, how did Chang die?They

say he was killed. Who did it?

I don't know. HmmIt

was you.

You got proof?Bring our

cannon here. Right, right

Mr. Shun, till now

I thought you were Yutang's friend and

therefore my friend. But you planned with

him to take over our business. You

also arranged with him to murder Chang.

Now, Ken, I've done nothing to you.

Why'd you do this?

Well, tell me.

You've cut the poor swine's vocal cords.

Now, listen, take it easy. You

see, we had to test you.

Test for what?You see,

although he accused you,

I didn't believe him.

I don't know why. After all, it could be

true. Hmm

Well, with your intelligence and fighting

skills, I'm sure you'd aim higher

than that.

Anyway, we have a deal for you. You

take over hereand run the place from now

on the terms

you pick your business freehand you do

what you want and we

supply the goods the

profit splits two ways

guarantees

my good name is enough is guarantee

no thanks I'll see you now hold it

Don't be rash.

Are you Liu Feng?

And

who are you?Someone who wants to

try you and see what you're like with an

ax.

I must say, you're quite a man.

Strange?Why isn't Lu Fang here?

Achan. Mana! Honey!

Help! Mana! Honey! Get that man!

Yufeng, what happened?

Got him so trapped by Chung Pao.

Well, I'll get him. No, no,

no

Don't stop him. Let him go.

Listen, something important to tell you.

What is it?Telling me I was vanished.

He went out last night, but he never came

back, though.

They found Tobiao. Where is he?He's in

the river.

It's him.

Hey boss, Trouble Tung Piao has been

knocked off by Liu Fong. What?

She said. You'll pay for this, I

promise.

Tujin Zhang, you had

my sister killed. Tujinqui, before

you accuse a man, get your facts

straight. You stole my goods,

killed my sister. Isn't that true?

I'll tell you. Those things have happened

because you were too greedy, too

confident. So then somebody

decided to slap you down. But

still, I can tell you this. Those things

were not my doing. Hmm

So you say, but I still don't believe

you. I hold you responsible,

and you'll pay for it.

What happened?She.

Madame Nine took the

girl... So... So

Fan... So Fan...

And Tung?Where's he?

He.. He's...

at... the wharf.

Shed six.

Sallowa. Yeah. You get down to the shed.

See Mr. Toner. I'll be at Madam

Nine's. Right. I will.

You go there. I can handle these, right?

Now look, I don't want you. Get out of

this.

Too late now. I can't quit. Too late for

me too. I can't quit.

Right.

Hey.

Well, now, welcome. I hear you have my

daughter here.

And you've come to get it back.

Why'd you kidnap her?Don't get it.

Would you explain?

I want to discuss business.

I'm getting to be quite old, and all that

I'm really interested in now is retiring.

But you're a real busy buddy, though.

Each business has its rules. As long as

you keep them, no one will interfere with

you. Business rules.

I only know my business has to make

money. Anyone who interferes with

that gets killed.

And that's just why I had to interfere.

All you have to do is keep out, and a

great deal of money will then land in

your lap at no effort to you.

Any money I take must be clean.

Sorry. Excuse me.

Hold it. Have you

forgotten that I'm still holding your

daughter?I cannot

sacrifice my honor, no matter what. Even

her life.

But look, I'll give you an idea of what

I'm like. You'll see. I mean business.

I don't think you'll realize what I'm

capable of. I'll see. I want

you to cut off one of your arms. Right,

right

My

God.

Get out.

Brother, you see?You shouldn't

have refused me.

Now I'll finish you off.

You kidding?

You're not dead yet. I have many lives.

So you're the ones who killed Fong.

Now it seems it's your

turn.

Sophie, it seems that you're

finished.

Axel.

Now, my friend, it would seem that you're

finished.

Luna Lu, you, Yutong, 2 Zuval. They

were all killed by me. Do you think

that you could really beat me and maybe

take over this place here?

Take them all right.

And now let's talk business. I've

nothing to say to a traitor.

You're wrong because I'm not a Chinese.

You see, I'm a Japanese agent.

Now look, a wise man.

He knows when he's beat. You just let me

go. And then when the Japanese do take

over China, I promise that you'll be

well rewarded. You're

mad.

Get going. All right,

quick. That way. Come on.

Hurry.

Hold it. Hold it right there.

There's a door. Take

him away. Come on.

Move. Go.
