Original subtitles

Must you do this? We both work for Jing Hing, man

Do what?

We're the "Water" gang, and you're "Metal", we've nothing in common

Are you losing your mind?

The guy arguing with me, Coffee,

happens to be the head of the "Water" gang

Why are we arguing?

It was all started by his boys and mine

About what? How the hell would I know?

Actually I didn't want to step in that night

But I'm the boss, must keep an eye on my gang...

and my reputation

- Watch what you're saying! - OK!

Every once in a while, some big shot says...

like anybody, certain triads love our country, too

But what's more important is, I think...

like anybody, certain triads love their families, too

Two red lines represent the coming of a baby

Watch out!

Fuck!

I'm OK, just a scratch!

Many of our men are still out there!

Luke!

Come over here, come on!

Watch him!

I'll go finish them for you

Be careful!

Coffee!

Only one of us can leave in one piece today!

Freeze!

Police!

On your knees!

Look, Chuck!

I'm having a baby!

You're gonna be a father!

I love you!

[Five years later]

Had I been told earlier about that,

I wouldn't have gone there

I would run home to her with a take-out

My wife loves sweet soup

We first met at a sweet-soup place

She used to be a popular young model

Her portrait album sold out faster than those fortune-telling books

You could even buy a pillow with her photo on it;

her news was always in the entertainment section

Damn right! She didn't pick a rich kid

She wanted to spend the rest of her life with me! Too bad!

If it wasn't true love, what was it?

Hello?

Another fight?

Mme

Your buttons

It was a friend of mine's birthday last night, there was too much to drink

They had a fist-fight, so their teacher brought them to me

I asked them to shake hands and be friends again

But Chuck Junior pinched Fatty's hand instead

Fatty gave him a big kick back

So they fought again, nobody could stop them

OK...understood!

Like father like son, that was pretty normal

What do you want me to do?

Sorry, Ms. Principal

I understand that mothers are under a lot of pressure

But you should model yourself as a father, too

Set a good example for your son

Actually I'm not Chuck Junior's dad, Ms. Principal

Then how are you related to him?

I'm his dad's brother

Baby brother or big brother?

Uncle

Are you OK, Mme?

What's your position?

Uncle!

Position?

We Jing Hing are subdivided into...

"Metal", "Wood", "Water", "Fire", and "Earth"; five gangs

I'm in charge of "Metal"

If it were a kindergarten,

no doubt the principal has the highest position

But as for the number of kids,

Mine is beyond compare

He's fucking with you, boss

I saw it

- Let me punch him! - No need!

Haven't you heard of "P.R.No.No"?

- It's in now! - What's no no?

Peaceful, rational, no violence, no fucking bad language

No more fucking foul mouth

Boss, today's newspaper

Remember!

Triads or not, you must pay attention to what's happening around you,

to keep up with the times

But I hate politics!

You do?

Nowadays, buying groceries in the wet market involves politics, too

Idiot!

They say a JP (Justice of the Peace) is coming today

I'll help with you guys' requests

I've been bullied and beaten less and less...

since you let me join you, boss

I won't forget this

Once my boss, always my boss

Write down the requests!

OK!

Any requests or complaints? Tell me

I have

Yes?

Noble JP, how are you?

Lam is my family name

I request more books in the reading room

- Such as comic books - Comic books?

We're all dying to read the "Teddy-boy" series,

or maybe more fortune-telling books?

One per year is enough

People say "Knowledge changes one's fortune,

and fortune determines one's character"

Also, I request more porno magazines

Such as "Playboy"

On one hand, it would quench our thirst,

on the other hand, we could improve our foreign language skills

I guess you'll have to be more persuasive than that

Well, a person without a sex life...

won't able to learn to respect himself,

not to mention learning to respect others

So we prisoners beat the shit out of each other every day

However, if we were all able to jerk off,

this would be a community of harmony and tolerance

Is that so?

I've done research on that

This newspaper clip is about prisons in Greece

It says, "Prisoners make love in a room set up in prison"

Take a look!

A separate room in prison...

for prisoners to make love with their wives...

is a human right

They've had it since 2005

And us? 2017 will be here soon!

I will seriously consider your request

Many thanks!

Good!

OK!

OK!

A boss should take good care of his boys

The thing is, I've never seen my son...

since his birth

I should take good care of this boy first

I'm thinking of retiring when I'm out of here

Then why do I still keep my gang?

Because if I were all by myself here,

Coffee could get me killed any time

In fact, I've been trying my best to keep a low profile,

as well as staying alert, but at the same time

maintaining "P.R.No.No"

What do you want?

- To take a pee! - Wait a second!

Don't come near...

I'll stab him!

Sharpened your toothbrush, so cool, eh?

No more shit!

Only one of us can walk out of here alive today!

Don't you have anything new to say, man?

Just kill me, if you wish!

You really hate my guts, don't you?

Only one of us can live to become the Dragon Head...

when we get out anyway

Why would I want to be the Dragon Head?

Hey!

We are even now

The lab report is here

Look at your prostate

This...this...is all cancer cells

Are you fucking sure about that?

Do you need to double-check your glasses, man?

I have cancer?

No, no! Calm down, please! I know it's hard to accept

I started killing at 14,

became a gang leader at 20

A fortune teller said I would live to 80

How can I have cancer now?

You have one last chance to tell me again. Do I have cancer?

Our son is growing fast

Grade 1 next year

Do you know any big shots...

who can write him a letter of recommendation?

Would a shady businessman do?

I mean Cai, the one I used to help smuggle tobacco

He lives in Repulse Bay!

I mean for a prestigious school!

A JP

A JP who visits here is quite willing to listen to me

Wonder when I'll see her next?

He has learned to walk, to run, and to swear, right?

All his bad habits came from you. He fights all the time!

Does he win, or lose?

Winning fights is no big deal

His father is never with him

His school principal often asks to talk with me

Let's not talk about our son anymore

Let me take a good look at you

OK!

You're very pretty today!

I want to see your "balls" (meaning tits)

What?

Your "balls"!

You're nuts!

I've been in here for 5 years

I haven't even got to watch a football,

not to mention yours

I love you!

Never mind about him! Lucky him. Fuck!

OK or not?

Doing magic or what? Like a flasher!

Godfather is waiting in there, uncles

Godfather!

Hello!

How have you been?

Uncle Sky's brandy

Uncle Earth's Maotai white wine

Also Uncle Man's high quality Puer tea

Gentlemen, I'll be out there, let me know if you need me

Coke is quite smart, he knows what we all like

- Fuck, it was all my idea - Pardon?

Fuck if we had to depend on him

Have a sip

Cheers...

The reason I got you all here today is...

it's been 3 years, time for Jing Hing to have a new Dragon Head

To save us the trouble,

why don't we let Coke serve another term?

Whatever you say

All we need is an executive Dragon Head,

simply carrying out orders and playing no tricks behind our back

That's exactly what Coke is doing now

I have nothing against him

Everybody knows Coke is your man

His experience, his seniority, are all perfect for his role

But let me remind you...

that we ran the whole show 3 years ago

We four nominated him,

plus the unanimous vote of all 5 gang leaders,

playing a little skin-deep democracy

Fuck! That's why I'm setting up a Nominations Committee here today

Speaking of that,

make sure the supporting cast don't steal the show

By the way, someone named Wulf from "Fire"...

has been attracting a lot of attention lately,

and receiving a lot of support

Fuck, he's an inside man

He used to be a cop! An undercover cop!

For the Commercial Crime Bureau!

That asshole talks like an opera singer!

I just don't fucking understand

Why did Tiger Tooth take him in before?

Fuck, forget about that inside man

- Take him off the list! - Not him!

Also Chuck of "Metal", and Coffee of "Water",

are both getting out soon

Whoever's gonna take over,

must stay loyal to our Club,

and to us!

Being a little stupid is OK!

Fuck! Having said that,

the supporting cast has to play its role seriously, too

No small potato

One of Chuck's men, called Luke something,

saved Chuck's life in a fight

It's pure luck to have someone like him these days

But Luke can't be compared to Coke

It doesn't matter

He's perfect for our supporting cast

All right, put him in then

OK

Cheers!

Hey, Wulf!

What brings you here?

Nothing big!

Just got some real good wine for the uncles

We're not celebrating anything today

Come back next year!

You don't know what you're saying

I didn't bring the wine for any occasion

Do you think I can't afford it?

OK! Let me help you with that

- To storage! - Hold it!

No need to trouble you, Coke

I want to deliver them myself

This is my place!

It's not up to you

I'm here just for a delivery, what trouble do you think I'd make?

I said I would help you with that!

- Don't move! - What?

What, man?

Sorry, sorry!

I made my way here to deliver some goodies to the uncles

The 30-year Yamazaki, for Godfather

Louis XIII, for you, Uncle Sky

The 50-year Maotai, for you, Uncle Earth

And...

this good old Puer is for you, Uncle Man

You surely know what please us, eh, kiddo!

What's all this about?

Birthday presents?

Just a token of appreciation

Yeah, right!

It will be time to pick our new Dragon Head very soon

That's why I came

Serving Jing Hing is my greatest pleasure

The rule is that only 2 candidates are admitted

And we have just made our choices

Oh, am I too late?

Let me suggest taking one out

And putting me in

What the hell are you talking about?

Bugger off!

- What did you say? - Who do you think you are?

Stop making noise!

Whoever is our Dragon Head...

must be well-accepted and closely-connected with us all

So that everyone can continue with his money-making in peace

He must stay the fuck out of our way,

and not talk like...what's the word?

- He's reciting - Like he's reciting something!

Now as for who the finalists are,

we've come to some kind of consensus,

and will let you know at the right time

Oh! So no deadline has been set yet! I almost had a heart attack, man!

Well, I've opened a new place lately,

and got some new wine and chicks in

C'mon over and take a look when you're free...

and tell me what you think of how I run it

The young are always smarter than us oldies

- I'll pay you a visit sometime - OK!

Anytime

See you

Put it down

Fuck! Making such a big fuss...

out of such a trivial thing

Keep on dancing!

Hey! Music!

Dance!

Go get some high-fiber food for the dog

Yes!

Coke!

Get me 2 fresh killers

Also check out...

when Chuck and Coffee will be out

Yes!

The form is done, Mme

Sign here, I'll take it back to the school for you

OK

Is Chuck really getting out tomorrow?

Yes! We'll go pick him up tomorrow

Actually I don't want him out!

Why not, Mme?

- Luke! - Yes, Mme?

I know you like me!

What are you doing, Mme?

If not, why are you so nice to me?

No, Mme! I mean it!

Stay calm, Mme

I owe Chuck my life

I mustn't do this!

I don't believe you! I don't believe you!

No!

- I don't... - Don't do that!

- I don't believe you! - Stop!

I don't want to hurt you!

I have to look after you and the kid...

until Chuck is out of jail

Don't mention him anymore!

I've done more than he deserves all these years

When has he ever...

played his part as a father, as a husband?

You should know better than me

I'd better get going

Luke!

Asshole!

[Stanley Prison]

My big day today, feeling so high!

I get to touch my wife and kid very soon

I'll hug them, kiss them, this and that

It's gonna be very touching

Chuck Lam, time to leave!

It's gonna be the first time someone calls me dad

To get promoted from a boss to a father

It's got to feel so warm that I won't know how to react

But I will hold back my tears

I can't let my son see my soft side

Boss!

No need to come back to visit us!

Come find me when you're out!

I will!

Boss!

I hate to say good-bye!

What time is it, Sir?

- 9:30 - Thanks!

Boss!

Did you hear that?

I really thought I was conducting a concert in the Hung Hum Coliseum

Boss!

Oh, no!

Coffee and I were jailed at the same time

Now we're getting out at the same time, too, man?

What the heck!

Don't make us die at the same time, too, please!

If that's so,

I would really think we were a gay couple in our previous lives

That's why we got tangled up with each other in this life

Chuck!

Where's my wife and kid?

Chuck!

Chuck!

- Boss! - Chuck!

Run, Chuck! Run!

Run! Boss!

Run!

Hey! What's happening?

Stop that!

Don't!

Boss, run! Boss!

Get in the car!

A triad boss is being murdered,

and he's hiding by a prison wall

It would be highly embarrassing if anyone found out about it

This is the worst thing that can happen to me

I've told you many times, Sir

We were all very happy waiting outside the jail for Chuck

All of a sudden, some men jumped out from nowhere to kill us

We ran like hell, of course!

Then you people came out to grab us

Where are you going?

I'm the victim, none of your business

I survived the killing, can't I thank General Kwan for that?

This is a police station, not your territory

Sit down!

Why must you raise your voice?

Don't I have freedom of religion?

Go home and thank your own God!

Charge him or send him home. Be quick!

Yes, Sir!

- Sit down! - Don't touch me!

We'll sit down ourselves

Hurry, Sir!

Do we need to keep an eye on them?

The same thing happens every time before they get a new Dragon Head

Just do the right thing at the right time

Be decisive in enforcing our rules

Yes, Sir!

Go to Shanghai Street,

get a statue fucking taller than theirs to take home!

You...

You were supposed to pick me up outside prison today

Why did you drag me back in there?

That's bad luck!

Sorry!

Never mind. It was a mess anyway

Who wanted to kill Coffee and me?

Who's most powerful among us lately?

A new head of "Fire"...

called Wulf,

is getting lots of support

Fuck! Those newcomers never know what's right

Just popping up from nowhere

Godfather doesn't like him much

He clashed with Coke not too long ago

Good for him

Coke is very treacherous

Some years ago, I had some interest in running for Dragon Head

He wouldn't even be close,

if it hadn't been for Godfather and the other uncles pulling strings

It's got to be Coke! He wants another term,

Coffee and I could be in his way

So he put a price on our heads

Don't you agree?

In fact, those uncles nominated Coke...

and me already

You are the right choice

But why did you give the order to kill me?

I didn't, Chuck!

No joke, man!

I have never had such thought! Not me!

I'm running simply on "Metal's" behalf

Now that you're out

You should take charge again

I didn't do it! It wasn't me!

Luke!

Although you're under me,

we've known each other since primary school

And you got injured while saving my life

Even if I order you to take my life now,

you would kill yourself first!

How could you want my life? Are you nuts?

I was just kidding you, man!

You never laugh at my jokes!

It's no fun to crack jokes for people like you, really no fun!

Have you a charger?

Yes! I have one

Here!

- Hey! - It can't go in

Those cunning businessmen are like that

A new phone always comes with a new plug

They make more money this way

I'll get you an old cable later

A new version comes in from time to time

If I'd spent longer in jail, everybody would be driving a space shuttle

Touch wood! Let's go to the sauna first

Hold it! Let me give her a surprise

Let me help you, Chuck!

Chuck

Sweetie!

Sweetie!

Chuck

I'm leaving

Oh yeah, go see my son first

My son!

Your dad is back, sonny

Hello?

Look who's back? Your Dad!

I recognize you

Call me "Dad"

What about Uncle Luke?

You came home so late

He had to sleep

Don't you want to call me dad?

Call me father then

Old pop is OK, too

Say it!

Why raise your voice? Go away!

- Mom! - That's the first thing you do to your son!

It's all right!

Get up

It's OK! Good boy!

Go back to sleep, lie down

It's OK

Don't touch me!

What kind of mother are you? Look at you!

Your son can't tell who his father is!

What kind of father are you then?

What have you done for your family?

All you know is fighting!

You even fought on your big day today

Don't touch me!

You didn't want him to know his father was in jail

His schoolmates always ask...

"Why does your dad never show up?"

What do you want him to say?

His answer would be easier if you were dead

Or do you want me to tell the whole world you just got out of jail today

Please come to our party and celebrate?

The head of Jing Hing's "Metal" gang!

That's who you were

But not any more!

Didn't she expect that when she married me?

My men are ready to defend my life

Why is my wife like that?

I really don't understand women

But it doesn't matter, I have my men!

10, none, 10, none

You're cheating!

OK, cheers!

You just want free drinks!

You're the boss here

Of course my drinks are free

I want to play, boss!

No need, I'll just pinch them

Come on, let me pinch them

- Chuck! - Your chick?

Never mind her

Since you're out, all the boys will go back to you

Oh, whoever, it makes no difference

Let's deal with it later!

- It finished charging already - Yeah, it's very fast

Look at these plugs you bought, amazing!

So many!

One has got to fit, fuck it if not!

I'm looking at the incriminating evidence, want to join me?

No, boss

It's just the killing, have a look

No, thank you!

I'll have a drink

Look, Chuck!

I'm pregnant!

You're gonna be a father!

I love you!

We'll be very happy

Let's go

So early?

- Let's watch the show first - No!

Congratulations, Chuck!

Have a drink first

I'm sleepy

I changed from an night owl to an early bird in jail

I hit the sack at 9 something

It's so late, I'm leaving!

- Chuck! - Cheers

Go home to your wife

You're doing the right thing

I have a lot to learn from you

You took good care of them

- Someone will give you a ride - OK!

"Sour grapes" (meaning unattainable women)

But when you can eat them, they excite you instead

Her name is Coco

She has made it clear to me that...

understanding women isn't important

Because women aren't for men to understand,

But for men to...

A grown man having no sex for 5 years,

the strength he accumulates...

is like a nuclear bomb exploding

- Here I come! I'm coming - No! Hold it!

- How? - Hold it!

Now is best time to tell your fortune

You can't be serious

I'm here to fuck, and you want to tell my fortune?

Shuffle the cards!

You and your wife quarreled

That's nothing unusual

No, not yet!

Hold it!

Unbelievable, Chuck!

It's the Emperor! You'll be appointed Dragon Head of Jing Hing

You'll be the Dragon Head of Jing Hing!

You'll be in charge of Jing Hing...

OK!

I want to be the Dragon Head of Jing Hing!

I want to be the Dragon Head of Jing Hing!

I want to be the Dragon Head of Jing Hing!

Chuck!

Chuck!

Chuck!

Was she OK, Chuck?

I want to be the Dragon Head of Jing Hing!

What do you think?

Good idea!

Well, have you asked what we think, too?

Only us four can decide on the candidates

It's not up to you to say...

who's in or out

We aren't dealing with a club membership

What's the point of keeping things that are no use to us?

7 of sticks

I want it. Done!

I don't mean to disagree with you

But Luke is Chuck's blood-brother,

and he's willing to give him the candidacy

So Chuck should be a pretty good boss

I understand

Spare me some time

I'll prove to you why I deserve your nomination

That's the right thing to do!

Nobody can complain that we never give the young a chance

That's true!

Thank you all!

Hey!

Ask not what Jing Hing can do for you;

ask what you can do for Jing Hing

It's OK, take the goods in

Wrap the goods, quick!

Keep an eye on them!

Make it quick

Bye, Daddy!

Did you hear that?

My son called me "Daddy"

And more and more kids call me boss

It has only taken us a few months...

to double the income of "Metal"

They won't have any excuse not to nominate me

I'm earning my 5 lost years back

What brings you here, Chuck?

Not your massage service

We're taking over this place

Call Luke if there's any trouble

But we're already looked after, Chuck

Of course you are!

That's why I came to tell you this place has changed hands

Fuck you!

Everything has changed and so have we

The Triad society must change, too

The Triads had nothing to do after the downfall of the Qing Dynasty,

and were forced to go into shady businesses

Not everyone can stick to what he first started for

Because some can't see too far

You can really do anything to get what you want

You don't know where to stop, Chuck, because you've just got out

These blocks have always been ours, Lei Hing

What is "have always been"?

Have you been in charge here since you were a school kid?

Don't tell me we triads can't change the rules

We have no Basic Law

You idiot!

Lei Hing and Jing Hing aren't supposed to bother each other

That's not how I look at it

Lei Hing and Jing Hing come from the same source

Does that mean you'll share the money you make with me?

So, no deal?

Close the gate!

Who's in charge here?

I, Chuck,

not only want to take back what was mine,

but also what was not mine

Mr. Lam, what's your occupation?

He's a very very big boss

Very very big

Big boss of a...very organized organization

Entertainment!

Yes, entertainment business,

also shops protection, drugs

Drugs?

Drug store

Drug store

Drug store!

- It's... - You know, Causeway Bay

Many many milk powder!

Your father is a very busy man

What does he do with you during your holidays?

He reads me newspapers and tells me stories about superheroes

Smart boy!

So Mr. Lam, why did you apply to our school?

I love my son

My son is the breast (meaning best)

I want breast (best!)

You are the breast (best)

The school...very organized

My family...very organized!

Are you familiar with our school vision?

What is -sion?

I have no idea!

Sorry, Sir, telephone, sorry, sorry, sorry

Lei Hing's Eugene is making trouble, Chuck

He messed up five of our bars

two of our men were injured

Must you call me on such mickey-mouse business?

I'm meeting with the school principal

Don't you know how to chop, man!

What happened, Mr. Lam?

Oh, you can speak Chinese, Mr. Principal!

That's good

The Philipino maid you hired really makes no sense

I sent her to Shem Tseng to buy a barbecued goose

She called and asked if the roast goose should be chopped

Yeah, right!

Understood

Good for you!

For people like we triads, other than going out to chop,

we must always be ready to get chopped, too

No reservation required

Two bosses died within 24 hours

Whenever a boss falls like a shooting star,

everyone must start wondering...

who took his life?

Coke's funeral must be decent and proper, OK?

Hello, hello, hello?

It is most important to bring back my dog!

The doctor has arrived

The report came out

It's not looking good at all, you'd better be prepared

No more shit, how much time is left?

Your cancer has spread

About a year

A year? Can't be any more than that?

- 12 months - Fuck!

I suspect Coke was taken down by Wulf

But people out there think I did it

It fucking hurts!

I admit...

I thought of doing it, but didn't

Have you got those uncles settled?

Especially that Godfather, he's always a pain in the ass

Godfather thinks Chuck killed Coke

Everybody out there is alert and anxious

I'd better get more men to protect you

Do you remember "negative selection" that a professor taught us about?

Yeah

A person at the core of power...

always pick incapable people to run in an election,

simply to make sure that nobody can disrupt his power structure

That's why. Godfather is worried that you're too smart for him

I don't want him feel intimidated by me

I want to earn his "like"

Welcome to Club Mix, Godfather

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Godfather, we have a spa,

Mahjong, karaoke, clubbing

Not bad

But this is most profitable:

Debt rescheduling

Focusing on loans to the police

No identification papers required

All we need is your ID card and mobile number

Express service for the disciplinary force

Isn't the ID card an identification paper?

Happy birthday, Godfather

Happy birthday, Godfather

Wishing you a long and blessed life, Godfather

Ying of "Water"

Many good years are yet to come for you,

- Godfather - Thank you!

- Long of "Wood" - Right!

For you, Godfather!

Long life to you!

Sai Wah of "Earth", he's the new Head

Godfather

Uncle Sky, Uncle Earth, and Uncle Man are waiting for you in the VIP room

Did I say something wrong?

How the hell would I know?

Chuck is going in with his gang, Sir

All those with the right to vote for Dragon Head,

other than the 4 old farts, are the 5 gang leaders

Uncle Earth and Uncle Man have borrowed nearly 10 million from me

They'll have to pay me back with their votes, if not their loan interest,

which means I have 4 votes in hand now

Just 1 more vote...

is all I need to win

It seems that Godfather is on your side

That asshole Chuck has arrived

Chuck!

You're very late

We haven't met, have we?

- Who is he? - Fuck!

Wulf of "Fire"

Wulf! Oh, I've heard of you

The handsome triad prince!

Is Godfather here?

He's in the VIP room

- Let's take our presents to him - Hey!

He's in the middle of a meeting about the Dragon Head election

Please don't interrupt

What is there to talk about?

No one fights better than we "Metal" guys

Nowadays we prefer intelligence, Luke

Kiddo!

Triads always go for outstanding fighters!

Intelligent men should gather... under the Canal Road Flyover to play chess

Fellas

Godfather and the 3 uncles have come to a consensus that...

the electoral candidates are...

Wulf and Chuck

The election is to be conducted 10 days from now

- Uncle Sky, cheers! - Cheers!

This bottle is for here

And this is for you

Take it home and enjoy it

Thank you

I told you, I don't aim at these things

Of course not!

You can't beat Wulf with that

I practice Taichi, I believe in equilibrium

An election is supposed to keep the balance of power

What's most important now is...

to piss off Godfather

All these years,

the fun of sitting on top of a million men...

has been overshadowed by bending under one

The pleasure isn't mine

Certainly not!

Cheers!

The bosses of both "Water" and "Earth" are from rich families

They never care about money

This is even easier

Drugs and pretty

So their votes are mine

Wulf used to be an undercover cop

I know!

Once a cop, now a triad boss

Fuck! Do you expect him to tell you if he's still a cop?

Once a "25 man" (meaning insider), always a "25 man"!

Don't worry!

We "Wood" and you "Metal"...

are in the same boat, sharing the same goal

OK! Big bucks forever!

Sign this memo for me, Daddy

Memo?

Let me see

Sign here, right?

You haven't put down your student number yet. What is it?

25

25?

How is it possible my son is a "25" (meaning insider)?

Tell Mom to get you a new number in school tomorrow!

- Clear? - Yes!

I hate "25" boys

I thought you quit smoking

Nonsense!

I heard that you've been doing good business recently

Well, double-figure increases every month

Thanks for your help

I need your help, too

There have been lots of rumors about Jing Hing lately

An election is coming up, that's why

What for?

It's always the same old farts running the same old show anyway

No!

When I get in, it'll be a whole new show

My men are working their asses off,

all because of Jing Hing

Whining and complaints everyday

It's all that Chuck guy's fault

I want a soft landing when I retire

You must help me to maintain stability

That's why I asked...

to chat with you here, Mr. Xu

If you could get rid of Chuck,

and bring order out of chaos for me,

as soon as I take over, I guarantee no more trouble

You have my word

- Have you seen this? - Chuck

- Don't make trouble here, please! - What are you talking about?

Our boss is Wulf

Please get out if you're not having fun

Put this on Wulf's tab, OK?

Fuck off!

Fuck! You...why did you come across to this side?

We didn't come to get drunk

We came to make trouble!

Fuck you, asslicker

Bugger off!

Go away!

Get lost!

Fuck you

Wulf, Chuck is filling our place

Where is he?

Over there

Chuck's men have taken all the tables, Wulf

Howdy, Chuck?

Is there anything not to your liking? So few drinks!

How about I send all the girls over for you?

As the election is around the corner

I have to come visit the neighborhood, check out the bars,

Do some lobbying

Only you and I are eligible for votes

Lobbying? How about lobbying me!

Do you know why I came with my gang?

Because I'm scared

In fact, I came to beg you

I joined Jing Hing in Grade 9,

and have always wanted to serve it

Coffee and I were put in jail on the same day, you must know that

7 years for me, 5 for him

But I hated going to jail,

so I tried hard not to make trouble in there,

hoping to get out sooner

I held myself back every time I saw that shithole

But he did the opposite

My grandpa was right

He said I was born tough,

so I survive, no matter what

I got out on time, but Coffee's term got longer and longer

Finally, we were released on the same day

Not only that, I saw him killed right in front of me

Fuck! Blood was all over the place!

I was frightened,

wondering...

if even God wanted me to continue being what I am?

That day I got out,

thinking to go home to fuck my wife,

but she didn't let me

So I left home to fuck somebody else

Then I bumped into this hot chick

She danced, this and that. It was wonderful!

I took her to a hotel, I kept screwing...

and was just about to jerk off

Suddenly she asked me to stop, and wanted to tell my fortune

"What? You can't be serious?"

She said it is best to tell a man's fortune at that very moment

She said my fortune told that...

I would be Jing Hing's next Dragon Head

Triads are always most superstitious

Therefore, with these signs and scent and all that,

if I wasn't the one,

who was? You?

Well?

- Finished talking nonsense? - Yes!

- Finished? - Yes!

Escort Chuck to the door

No! Your honor

You are still young, and I'm too old

Why don't you let me take the job?

I really want to be elected

Let me tell you what I think

I really fucking want to be the Dragon Head, too

Then you're dead!

Fuck! Are they going to a battle?

Mr. Tsui

Your muscles are very firm, are you out here patrolling?

Someone reported that the triads were making trouble

Who are the triads?

Who are the triads?

Who are the triads?

Are you? Identification!

We're doing our job

Those who don't want to get involved, leave!

Those working on a salary must do their job!

We're going home to hit the sack

The show is over

Fuck! Nutcase, you make no sense

What did you say?

- What did you say? - What?

Are you a triad?

Fuck! I have no idea what you're talking about

Go get him a lawyer

- Come out here, if you're with me - Moron!

- Are you nuts? - Are you looking for trouble?

We're shopping, what has it got to do with you?

- I could take you in right now - Stay cool!

- Fuck! - No nonsense!

I have 3 votes from the uncles

Both "Water" and "Earth" will go behind my back

Along with my own vote, totally 6

I've already won

Hello, Sky? I'm not feeling well,

I need a check-up in the hospital

Let's have the vote earlier

How many of you, Miss?

I'm looking for someone

- Who? - Luke

Who?

Luke

Just a second

You've lost! This is the one!

- Drink it! - Me?

- Yeah, drink it! - I just feel thirsty!

Police! Identification! Music off! Lights on!

What's the problem?

Shut up!

Shut up! Everybody on one side! Against the wall!

- Against the wall! - What are you doing?

Go back to your seat!

- I want to talk to your boss - What is this?

Sir!

You come in 3 days a week, we're losing business!

I need to make sure there are no wet-backs...

or missing girls hiding here

This one is underage for sure, Sir!

Identification! Don't move!!

Don't be rude, madam!

This is my duty!

Stand over there!

She doesn't work here, we don't know her

Save it, man!

Jasmine Atkinson

You are not 18 yet, and have no work permit

Do you know tourists working in Hong Kong is against the law?

I didn't come here to work

Then what were you doing in that bar?

Looking for my dad

Looking for your dad?

What now? Can I go?

You may

Take your daughter, Jasmine

What?

Take your daughter, Jasmine, with you

Did you have your first love 16 years ago?

She's Jasmine's mom

Grandpa and granny sent Mom to the UK...

when she got pregnant

They forbade her to stay in touch with you

How's your mom?

She married my stepfather when I was 6

He was pretty nice to me

But not his daughter

She's 2 years older; she bullied me day and night

How could she? You're so smart!

How do you know I'm smart?

You came all the way here to look for me

And went to the bar all by yourself

You've travelled even farther away than your mom

I found something Mom kept...

when we moved

So unexpected

Did you get her this?

Yes!

I made it for her myself

The technical school I went to...

was on the next block down from your mom's prestigious school

Was she mad at me?

She never mentioned you

What about you? Are you mad at me?

I just feel that you owe me a fair childhood

I'm sorry!

Back then I really didn't know anything

When your mom disappeared,

I really thought she wanted to stay away from a guy like me

I know what kind of guy you are

May I...

Don't pick a man like me in future

I find you very cool

You've watched too many gangster films

We aren't like that in real life

Really? What are you like then?

Which film is closer to real life?

"Young and Dangerous", "Election", or "Laughing Gor-Turning Point"?

Your Cantonese must've come from these Hong Kong films

Actually, the reason I returned...

Hello?

All of a sudden the oldies want to vote tonight instead

Something is going on

Some people said Wulf spent 80 million to buy votes

We'll call out the names selected

Wulf

Chuck

Wulf

Chuck

Wulf

Wulf

One more for Wulf to win

This isn't the right way to vote!

This isn't fair!

Give me that!

What are you doing? You can't afford to lose?

Yes, I can!

But not this way!

Don't you see what the problem is?

So many of us have been with Jing Hing for so many years

Why are only 9 men eligible to vote when it comes to picking a Dragon Head?

Fuck! Might as well not vote!

If we have a vote, every one of us should be eligible

There has never been such a rule for Jing Hing

Put that bowl down

Continue!

Hey! Stop that

The votes he swallowed are invalid, Godfather

It's 4 to 2 now, I win!

I'm Jing Hing's new Dragon Head

To hell with you!

How dare you tell Godfather what to do!

How dare you collude with the police...

and infringe on we blood brothers' benefits

You are a "25 man" (meaning insider)

What are you talking about?

You liar!

PC6722! You're a "25 man"

What are you talking about?

Fight me!

Fighting in Godfather's presence is very disrespectful!

Teddy-boys don't do that,

the police do

You are of high virtue and respect, Godfather

You set up the rules of our election

But do you know everything is 1-man-1-vote

out there in the world?

Concerts in the Hung Horn Coliseum are also 1-man-1-ticket

I'm a small potato

You may veto me

But can you veto our time

Brothers

A chosen Dragon Head...

can infringe on all your benefits!

Why are only a few men eligible to vote?

Why not 1-man-1-vote?

I'm asking you

Do you want the right to vote?

I do!

I do!

Your voice is heard

So fucking loud

Everyone return to where you belong to vote...

3 days from now

1-man-1-vote

Hurray!

Thank you!

Make the right choice and vote for the right man

I'm Chuck, yes!

Take a look, dude!

A book I read in jail says...

change must happen in history,

yet whoever happens to be the hero...

is incidental

It could be Dick, it could be Harry,

It could be Chuck

I think I have changed history

Please vote for me, Chuck...

to be the next Dragon Head, fellas!

In future, will my name...

appear in the Triad Section of the police museum?

I'm Chuck

Please cast your sacred vote for me, thank you

Where are you from, young man?

Jing Hing, Chuck

Perfect! Please vote for me

Thank you

Your wife called, Chuck

She said it's Chuck Junior's birthday tomorrow; go home for supper

I remember that

I'm leaving

OK! Wooing hot chicks?

- Good for you! - So long!

Are you a triad?

Are you a Jing Hing member?

Gonna vote?

Come on!

Give it a try, a little try

- Hello? - Chuck

Wulf ordered not to charge fees of any kind...

for any Jing Hing members applying for loans...

from his finance company

The interest-free period got extended indefinitely, too

30% off in my massage parlor, free hand-jobs!

I was on the phone!

How is she, doctor?

Your daughter has serious kidney failure

She needs long-term dialysis,

and isn't fit for a long trip

Don't let her do that again

Thank you, doctor

Thank you

You shouldn't have come...

such along way to me. You're ill

I came...

to beg you to go to the UK with me

I need your kidney

Mom's doesn't fit

I'm not on the priority list, only God knows how long I need to wait

You didn't give me my childhood

Will you give me my future?

I study well in school

I work very hard

I know I can get into Oxbridge

I really don't want to die right after university

I haven't had any relationship,

and there are many things I want to do

I owe you all that

Are you a good boy today?

- Yes! - Yeah?

Get in the car

Be careful

Hello!

See what I've got you

Happy birthday! Do you like it?

Yes!

Well, what are we having for supper tonight?

I thought you had arranged that

You called to remind me for supper, man

I meant to remind you to make a reservation for what you like to eat

Don't tell me you made no reservation

I'm just responsible for paying, not to make a reservation,

All right, no supper then!

It's a public holiday today, we can't go anywhere without a reservation

No exceptions for a big boss

I don't want to argue on our son's birthday, I'll do it now

"Open Rice", right?

Get me back my car, Mom

Naughty boy

- Where is it? - The bottom of your chair!

Just a second

So much garbage!

How about Chiu Chow food?

What is this?

Don't tell me it's a cleaning cloth!

Let's be civilized parents

Don't quarrel in front of our kid, OK?

OK!

What are we going to eat, Dad?

What does your mom want?

No WhatsApp, no calls, nothing

She's mad at you

Because you're naughty!

I was like that even before she married me

Why did she still marry me?

Did she say I'm naughty?

Mom said you went to jail

Is it true?

Of course I did, so what?

Many high-ranking officials have gone to jail, too

But teacher said only bad people go to jail!

Well, your teacher was too superficial

There are many goods among the bads

Yeah? Are there bads among the goods, too?

Even more!

But you won't understand it until you grow up

But I want to understand it now

It's just like this dessert, is it black or white?

Black

Then you're too superficial

Look, there is white, too

That's why...

Sweetie!

Mom!

Run!

Run!

Run!

Freeze!

Drop the knife!

It's OK, don't be scared!

Where's your medicine? Your medicine?

Is he all right?

Call an ambulance! Ambulance!

Calling control!

Junction of Kwong Wa Street and Yin Chong Street

A boy is injured, calling for backup, over

It's all right!

Do you know who the killers are?

No!

Have you offended anyone lately? Do you have any enemies?

I'm no policeman like you

You know what I do

I'm no policeman like you

I was running in the street, What has it got to do with you?

Why did you save me?

Chuck Lam!

You triad asshole!

No matter how much an asshole you are,

I would still save you!

Because I'm a policeman!

Your son suffered an asthma attack; he was taken in too late

[Chuck Calling]

[Passport of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region]

[British National (Overseas) passport]

[Chuck Calling]

[Missed Call]

I couldn't find Luke

Call in all our men

There won't be any more "Fire" gang...

after tomorrow

Let's wipe them all out tonight, deal?

Deal!

Excuse me!

I'm out, Chuck!

I want to join you!

Perfect timing!

From time to time, there are always capable youngsters

I'm counting on you!

Thank you, boss

We'll change history tonight, shall we?

Yes!

Jing Hing will not be the same from now on

Remember this

The first kill is the most difficult

After that you won't want to stop

What's for Jing Hing tonight?

You'd better help to maintain order, cool things down

Do you think I can do it?

Chuck and Wulf want no Dragon Head

They want to seize power

They do not respect us,

keep bragging they want to change

If they get elected,

you would have a very hard time, too

There's nothing I can do

Quiet!

Quiet!

Quiet!

Everybody be quiet!

Quiet!

Everybody be quiet!

Everybody shut up!

What are you people doing here?

Can't we shop and walk here?

Who's your boss?

My wife and son died...

because I want to be elected Dragon Head

So If I fail,

their deaths are worth nothing

It all depends on who they pick

One-man-one-vote; it's more fair that way, you said so

Fair or not is none of my fucking business

The choice isn't theirs

You and I are chosen by the uncles

I don't want fairness!

I want to be the Dragon Head

Don't we always get along?

We talk about solving problems

You wanted someone turned in to close a file

I'd turn in someone

You wanted some dirty business done, I'd get it done for you

No charge

Everything is in good order, harmonious, and stable

Chuck and Wulf are going to finish each other tonight

One of them is finished for sure, even better if both are killed

Don't get between them

Jing Hing will still need a Dragon Head...

if they both die

I am always the Dragon Head

OK, I know what to do

Let's go!

Go!

No one can tell me what to do for as long as I live

Just a yes-man to fill the job. So many of them to choose from

Jing Hing will not change, everything will remain intact

Police cars and ambulances are just standing by

The headline tomorrow will be, "Police smash triads"

How impressive! A good record for you, too

Actually I really want to know...

Did your men kill my wife?

Did you give the order to kill me?

Simply "Yes" or "No", nobody can get away, anyway

What?

Nothing to be afraid of, are you?

Nonsense!

Don't think I've no guts

Yes! I did it, so what?

Then it's time for you to pay back...

with your whole gang

Fight!

Fuck, fight!

Time to take action, Sir!

Don't tell me what to do

Wait a little longer!

Plenty of them will die

It's better for the triads; they will be less crowded

You asshole

Coke took my money, General

I want him in hell tomorrow

Copy!

When Chuck got hurt, guess who's the first guy he would think of?

Wulf

Help!

Help!

It really hurts! Help!

Help!

Help!

It hurts so much! Help!

Police! Drop the knife!

It really hurts!

It really hurts!

Don't move! Hang on!

It hurts very much, Sir! Help!

It really hurts!

But teacher said only bad people go to jail!

Well, your teacher was too superficial

There are many goods among the bads

Yeah? Are there bads among the goods, too?

Even more!

Three months after I died,

Godfather was gone, too

People said that he died badly

Piss and shit were all over him in bed

After all, he died in his own shit
