Original subtitles

My name is Autumn Moon.

Haven't been to school since junior high.

I wasn't suited for studying.

But the school system was hopeless too.

It kicked me out...

...and left me like this.

Nothing to do but hang out in playgrounds.

Shooting hoops, getting into fights...

...doing odd-jobs and scouting new talent for the triads.

- Stop! - No way!

Can I have a shot?

This half-wit is called 'Sylvester'.

Never knew his family name.

Not 'Stallone', that's for sure.

I 'recruited' him on the street.

Some schoolkids were bullying him and I rescued him.

At least he was smart enough to realise...

...that I'd protect him.

That's how he became my 'junior'.

People brag about being a 'Big Brother',

but no-one's proud to have a half-wit as a junior.

If you guys ever bully him again...

...you'll answer to me!

You might think I'm worthless because I'm unemployed and lazy.

But that's not quite true.

I do work... I help 'Big Brother' Wing to collect debts.

I'm really a loner, so I do what I want.

For me, freedom comes first.

I'm not like the others, I have a brain.

I don't take orders.

I won't kill on anyone's order...

...or put my life at risk because I'm told to.

That'd be really dumb!

I figure you can make it if you stay smart.

That's my style.

Look, we're only here to collect what you owe.

Bullshit! Who sent you?

We're from the Bank of Canton.

Hah! Your bank canceled my credit card... 'cause I was just a couple days late paying it off.

They were just following the rules.

I lost HK$2,000 because of you! Shut up and get out!

We've done nothing wrong!

You want to be cuffed to the bars? Get out!

Could we really do that?

They had that coming! Come on, back inside.

Serves them right!

- Wait a second! - Who are you?

Mr Wing sent me to collect his money.

What money?

Here's the record of it!

Okay? You think it's a fake?

I'm just making sure it's not.

What's wrong, Sylvester?

I know what's on your mind, sex maniac!

What do you mean?

Get him to hospital, he's having a stroke!

Pay your debt first! Give me the money!

He's dying and you're still talking about money?

It's just a nosebleed! No big deal!

That stroke is going to kill him. I'll call an ambulance for you.

Ping, give me the phone.

What's wrong with your nose?

Is that the police or the hospital? Never mind, makes no difference...

There's a loan shark here, bleeding... Can you come quickly?

Never mind, he's managed to stop the bleeding, thanks.

Ma was right when she said that everything is fated.

Ever since Sylvester picked up those two letters...

...bad things have happened, one after the other.

Weird stuff that no one can explain! Just like that.

Out of the blue!

Sylvester!

Autumn Moon! Your pager...

- I've transferred HK$3,000 into your account. - There was only $2,000.

"Sylvester's being bullied. Come. Hurry!"

- Is HK$3,000 enough? - That won't even cover the grocery bills.

Come on, I'm not even living there!

You think groceries are cheap these days.

Aren't you earning money yourself?

How much can I make?

What about Autumn Moon?

What's he good for? I can't rely on him!

Go to hell and don't ever come back!

What are you doing?

Why are you begging him for money?

I'll have money next week.

Thanks, I don't want your dirty money!

What do you mean 'dirty money'?

You think his money is clean?

Don't worry, Ma, I've changed.

You can ask Miss Lee.

Didn't you say you'd go back to school?

You're the same as your father.

Are you okay, dickhead?

You should rest.

You can go home when you have your medicine.

When is her next check-up?

I'll call to let you know, make sure she gets plenty of rest.

Well, hello! Has your daughter had a stroke?

Wiseguy, huh?

Let me remind you of your debt.

Get lost!

You can't play games with me! Pay up!

- Nothing to do with you, sit down! - Don't touch her!

Look at your retarded friend! He's the one who had a stroke.

All right, Sylvester! You stick around and make her pay.

Pay up!

Idiot!

Don't make fun of him!

Be quiet! This is a hospital!

What's going on here?

Nurse, make him go away.

What right do you have to say that?

Are you a relative of that man?

He's my friend.

Fine, then please follow me.

Is he okay?

Don't play games with me!

We contacted his family...

...but they deny all knowledge of him.

We found these in his pocket.

Don't look at that thug!

What? Give it a rest!

Listen to yourself!

What are these?

That's blood, but it's not your friend's.

Ma, let's go look for him.

Look for who?

Your husband...

I saw him with a woman yesterday.

He has a mistress, did you know that?

Let him be!

What do you mean?

He has a mistress! And a kid, too!

And you're okay with that?

You won't come? Fine, then I'll go alone.

I'll chop him to pieces, no sweat!

Don't do anything stupid, Autumn Moon!

Autumn Moon, don't!

Let go of me!

Stop it! What are you doing?

Then come with me!

Listen to me, will you?

Let go of me!

Listen to me! I gave him my blessing!

- Stop! - What?

You gave him your blessing?

You mean you knew about it?

He bought your approval with a thousand bucks?

Autumn Moon, get in!

Where are you heading?

Nowhere special

I'll drop you wherever you want, I'm going to work.

What? Did I hear you say 'work'?

Of course!

Keung, what do you mean by 'work'?

You wouldn't understand, I'm doing it for love!

Tell me about it!

Since I met her, I'm a different person

I do whatever she asks me to.

She told me to find a job, so I did!

I asked her to marry me and she said yes!

Amazing, isn't it?

You just like her big tits!

Jealous?

Sure, I'm jealous!

I used to be so full of myself...

But not anymore!

Oh, I've got something for you.

What's this?

An organ donor form.

What? Have you lost it?

Just read it! Miss Lee gave it to me the other day.

She looked into my eyes and said...

"Keung, for guys like you who are in the business of killing...

"... maybe life means nothing.

"But if you fill out this form... you can do some good for society.

"You can save someone's life after you're dead.

"That'll give your whole life some meaning."

The Miss Lee that Keung talks about is a social worker.

Heaven knows what she sees in Keung that makes her love him.

Fucking unbelievable!

That's her, doing her endless research!

She asked me to introduce her to some juvenile delinquents.

But I am a juvenile delinquent!

Obviously she doesn't realise that.

To get her off my back, I introduced her to Sylvester.

He's probably the only half-wit member of a triad in Hong Kong.

He's known as a killer!

He's getting a real reputation.

Autumn Moon!

Fuck you!

Mrs Leung?

Can I borrow some soy sauce?

Sure, come in

- I'll get it for you. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

- Autumn Moon, who is she? - Don't get the wrong idea,

- she's a social worker... - What a nice lady!

No charge for this.

Thanks! A bit more...

Take the whole bottle.

That's more than I need.

Does he visit you often?

Not really... He used to live in the shop where he worked.

But he lost the job.

That's why he hangs around with me, he kept getting bullied on the street.

- He should find himself another job. - Where? How? You tell me!

His family has abandoned him?

I tried calling them, they said they didn't know him.

Autumn Moon!

What is it?

I thought that was your ma.

Hello, Miss Lee.

Big Brother wants to see us

I've got Miss Lee here, you go first and I'll catch up.

See you, Miss Lee!

Where are you going?

To school!

Well, here we are again.

Where's your old lady, lovely?

She's out.

Really?

Go in and see for yourself.

Will do.

Look at you! You should be in school! Look at those nails!

Think you're Madonna?

- Where's your ma? - Playing mahjong, probably.

So she has money for mahjong but none to pay what she owes us?

How much do we owe your boss? A few thousand dollars is no big deal.

It'll take a lifetime to repay the interest alone!

A few thousand soon turns into tens of thousands.

And then hundreds of thousands.

Here's HK$500, my dad owes you HK$5,000.

If I go to bed with you, let's call it evens.

HK$500?

You're saying it'll cost HK$4,500 just to screw you?

You think you're a big-time hooker?

Let me make this clear, I've never paid to get laid.

C'mon, there's no-one here but us.

Relax! I won't hurt you.

So, tell me...

What colour are your panties?

Guess.

Black and white.

Let me see...

What? Those ain't panties!

Never mind, let's get on with it.

What's so funny?

Is something going on here?

It's your ma, right? She wants to throw me in jail?

She's the only one you listen to, isn't she?

You'll regret it, it's my first time.

Your first time? Are you pulling my leg?

Every girl I've had has said it was her first time.

You think this is Ancient China?

It's my first time too... today, that is.

First time!

No wonder there are no more virgins!

What are you saying? I've got more class than other girls.

So you're a bit stuck up!

Nice body, though.

I can see you've got a hard-on.

Have you made up your mind?

If you want to do it, be quick before my ma gets back.

What? You mean do it here?

You wanna do it in the hallway?

Give me a break!

I'm the one calling the shots here.

You'd better learn that!

I've never counted how many wet dreams I usually have.

I came twice that night.

Which made it a bad night for me.

I had this strange feeling I was being preyed on.

It must've been those letters.

They must have some secret.

Something even stranger happened in the morning...

Ping showed up at my door!

It's you!

How did you find out I live here?

Go back to sleep, Sylvester.

What do you want?

Fine, be seeing you...

Wait! I wanted to tell you...

...how much I missed you.

Can we just be friends?

What are you up to? Trying to flatter me?

Your ma sent you, didn't she?

She doesn't know I'm here.

I came of my own accord.

Really?

What's on your mind?

Will you go out with me?

What?

Sylvester picked them up from the girl who committed suicide.

Are you serious? Let me have a look!

- Let me have a look! - Sylvester, let her see them!

This one's for her family.

The other one must be for her boyfriend.

It's an all-girl school... You think she was a lesbian?

What's that?

Three, four, five, six, seven...

Is there a Wong Wing-Nam here?

I'm Wong Wing-Nam.

This letter is from Susan Hui.

Are you really Wong Wing-Nam?

Can't you even show some interest?

I wonder what's in the letter.

You're very nosy.

There must've been a love triangle.

Why do you say that?

That girl there must be the other one, trust me.

I don't think so.

What do you say, Sylvester?

Dunno.

This must be it.

Let me get on your shoulders.

- My shoulders? - Yeah.

Sylvester, squat down! Didn't you hear me?

Me?

Who else?

Come on!

Let me up.

I see something.

What is it?

It must be her.

Let me have a look.

Wait a sec.

Come on, it's my turn!

You're a pain.

I see it.

What can you see?

Her photo. She's quite pretty, isn't she?

What are you doing?

What do you think you're doing?

Hey, what do you think you're doing?!

Come on.

Are you all right, Ping?

What's wrong with you?

Leave me alone!

I'm very ill

I've got a fatal disease.

Fatal!

Just then, it was like taking my last breath.

Any idea what this is?

I don't want to die in a hospital.

It was the first time I saw Ping cry.

When she held up that whatever it was...

...I was dumbfounded.

I'm a man of the world.

But at that moment, I must confess I was speechless.

It was tough to find out that I could be such a charitable person.

Hell, it happened again.

That night, I dreamt of plane after plane flying over me.

I lost count of the number of planes I shot down with my cum.

But one thing I'm sure of...

Every time I came, I was thinking of Ping.

I've fallen crazy in love with a very sick girl.

Here for your money again?

C'mon! Where's your mom?

Quit smoking! You're dying.

Why? I'm dying anyway.

Are you sure you have cancer or whatever you have?

You should go for a check-up

I don't trust doctors.

It's no joke! I have a fatal disease.

Only an organ transplant can save my life.

An organ transplant? What kind of disease do you have?

Kidney.

How long do you have to wait for a transplant?

It depends if someone else dies before I do...

and whether they'll donate a kidney to me.

What happens if no one dies?

Simple, I'll die.

Okay, I'll donate a kidney to you.

Thanks, but your kidneys are probably as rotten as you are.

You sure have a big mouth.

My ma was thinking of giving me one of hers, but they don't match.

Let's change the subject.

Shall we do it?

Are you out of your mind? I'm a sick person.

Well, I've never done it with a sick person.

Go to hell!

You're pretty tough, aren't you?

Stop! Stop!

Hold on! First... do you love me?

Of course!

If you love me...

...why not wait till I'm dead to kiss me? That'd truly be romantic.

C'mon, don't you feel good now?

No!

You said you wanted to do it.

Do what?

You said you regretted not doing it the other day.

Stop talking about death all the time.

If you weren't with a girl or fighting, what would you be doing?

I'd be thinking about girls...

I mean you!

I'm serious, what happened with your ex?

We blew it, why?

Ever wonder how she is?

Don't know or care!

Why are you called Autumn Moon?

It's a long story.

My parents are to blame for it

I was born during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

So they called me Autumn Moon to celebrate it.

Unimaginative!

Lazy, too!

Well, not exactly, I think it's cute.

It makes me think of moon cakes.

- Maybe I should call you Moon Cake? - Thanks! Why not Cheese Cake?

I'd pay you if I could, Fat Chan.

But I'm broke! Life is hard these days.

How did you pay for that food?

I have to eat, don't I?

Your daughter?

You leave her alone!

You can take anything of value in the place.

Those are all hand-made, they're worth something.

Take them!

You have a beautiful daughter.

We can let you off paying and take her instead.

That'll cancel the interest.

How about working for me as a prostitute, my little darling?

Leave her alone, Fat Chan!

Fine, then tell your husband to talk to me

I have no idea where he is.

Do me a favour and chop him to pieces if you see him.

He's no longer my husband.

You were calling each other "sweetheart" when you borrowed money from me.

But now you curse him!

He borrowed the money, go after him.

You're acting like the triads.

Triads? Do we look like triads?

Don't get bitchy!

Take everything! Including the wok!

Let's see how she cooks without it.

This too.

Give me your gold tooth.

You're broke, but you have a gold tooth!

How elegant!

Don't! Please!

Stop that!

What's the problem here? After her money, are you?

This looks like a robbery to me.

Who the hell are you?

You're saying you don't know me?

Fuck you!

Who the hell do you think you are?

You're just a kid.

And you're just a pig!

Who do you answer to?

Fatso! Look at you!

You're full of cholesterol.

I'll tell you who I am, my name's Autumn Moon.

Does that ring a bell?

No!

No?

Yes, it does!

Fat Chan, I see you're not holding up well.

Go home and heal your wounds.

Well done! Encore!

Thank you! Thank you!

Dickhead!

Fatso, I'll spare your life this time.

I've no idea how much Ping's father owed these people.

I've seen off all kinds of debt collectors.

Who knows how many more I've never seen?

The adult world is just so complicated.

For example, Brother Wing is a loan shark, though he'd never admit it.

Guys like Fat Chan are ten a penny.

He could be a neighbour!

As for those skinny punks who trail along behind him...

They're not even tattooed!

Looked like students going on a picnic with their teacher!

They thought they could scare people?

But it's because they're so common and ordinary...

...that you have to be twice as careful.

What are you doing here?

- I understand that she's seriously ill. - That's none of your business.

- Just get lost. - Mrs Wong...

Get out of here!

I forbid you to see him again.

Go to your room.

What is it? Can't you see I'm busy?

Ma, can you lend me HK$5,000?

That's a lot of money.

- I'll pay you back in two days, I promise. - What's it for?

Don't ask questions.

Don't you go to those loan sharks!

They'll be the end of you.

Never mind.

Okay, I'll try to talk to my boss.

- I said never mind. - Autumn Moon!

Those three kids, you mean? They're clean.

Hi, Autumn Moon.

Trust me, they're not in any triad.

Are you sure?

As I always say, Chinese people are the slyest.

When will you bring Sylvester to me?

Sometime.

What did he do in those sheltered workshops?

The usual stuff, packaging and processing I think.

Good, that's exactly what I need.

I'll make sure there's a car waiting for you.

Thanks a lot, see you.

Fuck him!

- Big Brother. - Autumn Moon...

Did you collect the money?

Is there a problem?

I haven't seen you around for a while.

Can I borrow HK$20,000, Brother Wing?

HK$20,000?

What's it for, chicks or business?

You haven't been to a loan shark, have you?

If you have, I can send the boys round to bash their skulls.

Trust me on that.

It's nothing like that.

Autumn Moon...

You know I've always believed in you.

Why don't you join us?

What's on your mind?

I think I'm in love with the girl in Room 7818 of Block 5.

Are you kidding? That family is slyer than you and me put together.

You're borrowing money to pay her debts?

Are you...

I'm serious.

Serious? You're too young to be serious.

You should be having fun.

You'll fall for someone you like one day.

Wait for that day before you talk about love.

Don't waste time getting serious over young chicks.

I really am serious.

Are you losing it? You don't have to marry a girl just because you've banged her!

If you're after chicks, I can rustle up a dozen for you... Right now!

Hello

I want to page account 8288.

Your name please?

Cheung.

Mr Cheung, the account holder has asked for his callers' full names.

Cheung Siu-wing.

Do you know the account holder's full name?

What's this shit? I called yesterday and there was none of this.

I'm sorry, the account holder made this instruction this morning.

What?

I'm sure you'll get used to it, sir.

Fuck you! Listen...

Tell him to cancel these stupid instructions or I'll kill him.

Sir, our policy forbids us from relaying any threatening messages.

Just pass on my message, bitch!

Autumn Moon, let's communicate with each other...

Shit! I'm in China so often these days, I'm starting to sound like a mainlander.

Remember that job I offered you last time?

If you'd accepted, you'd be a rich man now.

Nobody would've suspected a young kid like you doing something like this!

"Young man assaulted and killed."

Youth can't be beat, but you need to learn to give back to society.

I've never even held a gun in my hand.

That's not the point.

You should make money while you're still young.

Don't waste any more time.

This target is from Shenzhen... It's a one-shot job, guaranteed.

I won't go to Shenzhen, I hate everything about China.

Who said you'd need to go to Shenzhen?

I have my reasons for disliking mainlanders, too.

They tricked me into investing in a joint venture...

...and then swallowed up my shares.

You're right to hate them.

That motivates you emotionally.

Gives you a sense of self-assurance

I've promised Miss Lee I won't do anything bad.

You mean that stupid social worker?

What did you promise her?

And what about collecting debts for me?

Look at this, Autumn Moon.

Can you tell if it's real or fake?

No.

That's my point! There's no true or false, right or wrong.

The world is a complete mess.

Wanna try it?

Pull the trigger.

I like your guts.

Take this, I'll give you a real one next time.

I know a guy from the games arcade, he's a really good shooter.

He beats the machine, every time.

No more excuses, Autumn Moon.

You know, when I was young I was a poor kid like you.

Our backgrounds were much the same.

But I've worked hard and climbed the ladder.

Think about it.

Did you page me, Big Brother?

Fuck you! Are you playing games or what? What's all this crap about leaving full names?

The cops are chasing me.

Let's agree on a secret code...

How about "Hallelujah 1997"?

That's too much hassle!

We'll get used to it.

Go to hell!

You're useless! I've lost all hope in you.

Please, don't get worked up.

You're hopeless!

You know what he's done?

He's stolen all my money!

He took the last HK$2,000 from my drawer.

Why didn't you take the TV set?

Please calm down, Mrs To.

Can't you see what he's become? He's a thief!

Maybe he just borrowed it.

You don't call this borrowing.

He didn't even ask! That's stealing!

I'll beat you to death!

You're useless!

Please don't!

And cocky, too.

You're as useless as your father.

When I tell him he should go back to school, he uses Jackie Chan as a counter-argument.

I don't care if Jackie Chan was given an honorary degree without going to university.

Do you realise what he is?

He's an actor, stupid!

Your uncle got you a kitchen job and you turned it down.

Then Mrs Leung recommended you for a job in a restaurant...

...and you complained that it was boring.

If you're so smart, why don't you become a boss yourself?

Please don't!

I'll beat you to death!

Mrs To, I'd say he's improved a lot.

Improved?

Miss Lee, you are too kind.

Look at me! You won't be rewarded for your kindness...

I'm the perfect example.

This is reality.

Poverty begets evil, that's the rule of the game.

Mister, would you be interested in a job as a hitman?

Ever since the fight with Ma, I haven't called Ping.

I'm not the good-for-nothing triad member that Ma called me.

At least I didn't take that job from Brother Wing.

To prove Ma was wrong about me...

...I decided to look for a job.

Could he start right away?

Yes, we're short of hands and business is good these days.

No problem.

Let's talk about the salary later.

First, there are some rules he needs to follow.

Okay.

We sell all kinds of knives.

The kinds used in most households.

Thin blades, thick blades...

These are for breaking all kinds of bones.

Most housewives are familiar with them.

These knives are fantastic for cutting pork.

It's Sylvester! They won't hurt him.

Uncle Leung, what's this one for?

Sorry, sorry.

Don't ever run away from us!

Let's make him jerk off. Jerk off!

What if triad members buy knives from you?

We don't sell knives to organized crime.

We might sell to ordinary bad boys.

And if they join a triad? Would you sell then?

Triads don't mix with those small-timers.

All they do is cheat their mothers so they can go to Ocean Park.

Harder!

Your job will be to sweep the floor and clean the windows.

That'll help the business. Sure, Keung has been a great help.

Autumn Moon!

They've bought knives from us in the past.

Autumn Moon! Autumn Moon!

Moron! Where are you from?

How dare you bully this big guy?

- Who's your Big Brother? - We don't have one.

Then I'll teach you a lesson myself.

You think you're tough?

Didn't I tell you to stay away from them?

Leave me alone.

Beat him up!

Fight back! Go ahead and beat them up!

Don't be afraid!

Beat him!

You know?

Remember the first time we saw him, he was being bullied in the same way.

We saved him, he needs us.

Can't you have more sympathy for him?

Get up, dickhead!

Listen to me! Don't ever let me see you again!

Or I'll beat you to death! Now run for your life!

Beat it!

Beat it!

"For Autumn Moon."

Autumn Moon, I almost forgot.

- Miss Lee asked me to give you this money. - It's for me?

- Yes. - I can't accept it.

Don't be so stubborn.

She wants to help you, treat it as a loan.

Sylvester, let's go.

What is it?

Please don't tell her what happened today.

- What do you mean? - I promised her I'd never fight again.

You're like putty in her hands, aren't you?

You don't get it, just do as I say or I'll knock your block off.

Fuck you!

What about the money?

Save it for knives.

Cover up your cut so it doesn't get infected.

No, I don't want that.

It's for your own good.

Really?

It's only for now.

Are you ready?

How does that feel?

- It's cold! - C'mon!

Use some soap.

Wash your arse.

See? It's like a sewer.

That's good!

Having a good time?

Look at you!

How about a new hairstyle?

You're still bleeding!

Hold this!

The bleeding won't stop! Dry your hair.

Ever tried a bandage like this, Sylvester?

These are great, made for adults... See if it works.

Don't move! You're bleeding.

See, it stopped the bleeding right away! How does that feel?

It's ultra-thin.

But it's very big.

Keep it in case you need it again.

Have a good rest.

We'll get even with those kids, okay?

Okay.

"Autumn Moon, by the time you read this, I'll be gone.

"Autumn Moon, I'm sorry for you.

"I'm not a good mother.

"I want to...

"... find somewhere to think things over"

Sylvester, my old lady has left.

Stay here and look after the place.

- Who are you looking for? - Where's your husband?

He went to the market, who are you?

My name's To.

He'll be back soon, come back in 5 minutes.

Help!

Stay out of this!

Scum! You raped my sister when she was 12.

You've ruined her life!

I'll chop your hands off!

I'll kill you!

Help! Don't!

Give me the other hand!

Please, don't!

Give me the other hand!

He was my old man, but not any more.

Everyone has their own story to tell.

Sylvester, Ping, Susan...

The kid who chopped his old man in the public toilet...

Most adults are gutless and irresponsible. When things go wrong, they hide or simply disappear.

Sometimes, I really felt like cutting out their hearts to see what colour they were.

They'd probably have looked just like shit.

That night, everything was very quiet.

Almost nothing happened.

But when I woke up...

...I found tears all over my face.

I'm sure they weren't mine.

Were they Susan's?

Quick!

Block him!

Sylvester!

Sylvester!

What's up?

- It's Ping. - Ping?

This should be the place, where is she?

Can you see her?

I'm here!

There she is!

- We've been looking for you. - How did you know I was here?

We've got noses!

I knew you were here because he got a nosebleed.

Wow! You can smell where I am?

I wish he could! Look at his dumb face!

I bet he'll get a hard-on from seeing your...

...naked thigh in a mini skirt.

Sylvester must like me very much... right?

Yes.

Give her the melon, you moron!

Who gives a melon as a present, stupid?

Stupid? It's a sign of love.

It looks like you'll be here for a while, eat your melon.

I don't want it.

If you want more, I'll bring you a whole basket.

I might not live long enough to eat them.

Don't say that!

Your outfit looks real cool.

You're the one that's cool.

"Fatso! Look at you!

"You're full of cholesterol!

"Get out of here right now! Don't you know who I am?"

That's what I call cool.

It's not so bad that you're here, at least your ma isn't yelling at me!

She's all right.

I know, you're luckier than I am.

Your father left you.

But both my parents left me.

Screw 'em! Let's change the subject.

Remember when you said you regretted not doing it with me?

No.

What do you mean no?

Are you a lesbian?

Sylvester is here!

Look! He's got a hard-on.

Look at that!

Go on, touch it!

Are you crazy?

Dickhead!

He's not as dumb as I thought.

Don't bully him.

Me bully him? Look at his ugly face!

Great view!

Don't run!

Stupid!

Wait!

This is spectacular!

What a place!

It's like paradise!

- Who suggested this place? - I did!

How did you know about it?

- Impressive! - I'll give you credit for this.

Autumn Moon, did you bring the letter?

The letter? I threw it away.

- Threw it away? - Yes.

No, I have it.

When did you pick it up, shit head?

Smart kid! We must send it to her parents.

I don't wanna see it anymore.

Why?

Because I'm afraid I'll fall for her.

If you like her that much...

...did she appear in your dreams and tell you where she's buried?

Are you saying you want to find her grave?

Of course!

All right, as you wish.

Let's go!

We'd better hurry, it's getting dark.

Where are you, Susan Hui?

Susan Hui... Susan Hui!

If you like me, let me know where you are.

Susan Hui...

Did you find it?

Did you find it, Ping?

No.

Susan Hui... Susan... Susan...

Why did she die?

Can you hug me on the day I die?

What will you do if I disappear?

We'll think about that when the day comes, okay?

What a spectacular sight!

Imagine... there are dead people all over this place.

I want to be buried here when I'm dead.

You'll get better.

Sylvester...

That's a funny way to cut a watermelon.

I've never seen anything like it before!

Is he making a watermelon pot?

You mean a winter melon pot!

Can you cut it like that?

It looks like a magic trick!

You only know how to knife people.

Cutting up a watermelon is something else again.

Mind your hands!

Watch this!

Big Brother, you're cool!

I want a slice.

- Have a bite. - I'll take this slice... Here you are.

- It's great! - I learnt that in China.

This is a specialty of the northerners, didn't you know that?

Is it? Really, the northerners?

Sure, watch and learn!

- Hi, Autumn Moon! - Hi!

- I'll do it for you guys again next time. - Cool, Big Brother.

Susan made me come again that night.

Susan, I don't care if you support me...

...or if you want to stop me from accepting the job.

Either way, I'm going to do it.

So you'd better give me your blessing.

I promise to burn more incense for you.

Susan, set me free!

Can you tell me which room Lam Yuk-Ping is in?

- Ping? - Yes.

- She checked out yesterday. - Are you sure? Can you check again?

I'm sure.

Thank you.

Where is Lam Yuk-Ping, please?

She checked out.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I thought she was getting a kidney transplant.

Maybe the doctors have told her to wait at home.

Wait there!

Ping! Ping!

Where's Ping?

What happened to you? Who did that?

None of your business.

Was it Fat Chan?

You're all the same, go away.

Ping isn't here, she won't be seeing you any more.

Please give this money to Ping.

We don't want your dirty money!

What do you mean "dirty money"?

Can't you see that we feel for each other?

What's that?

F. E. L. L. Feel! Feelings!

I bet you're too insensitive to understand that.

Do people like you have feelings?

All you know is gang-fighting.

Are you any better?

All you know is hiding from moneylenders.

What's so wrong with owing people money?

I stayed home to keep my daughter away from punks like you.

It's not easy being a mother, I bet you don't have one.

Don't you bad-mouth my mother!

Why not? Look at the way you speak to your elders!

Use your brain! Would I let my daughter see someone like you?

- Don't talk badly about my mother. - What if I do? Will you kill me?

I won't let you talk badly of my mother.

Very righteous!

You think you're a hero? Why don't you go kill all the bad guys?

That's exactly what I'll do.

On your way, then! Right now, please

I'll go settle this with Fat Chan for you.

I guarantee that Fat Chan will leave you in peace...

...if you let me see Ping again.

Guarantee?

Isn't that enough? I'll go for a medical check-up tomorrow...

...and see about donating my kidney to Ping.

Great, thanks a lot!

No, my daughter won't use your kidney, we don't want to be in debt to you.

It's free of charge...

I give you my word!

Very noble of you! I hope you're not bullshitting.

I hope you'll honour your word.

I'll leave the money here.

If I fail to settle things with Fat Chan, you can keep the money.

Thank you! Bye-bye.

Sylvester, let's go.

Leave her the watermelon.

This is for you.

Shit!

It's Ping!

Are you sure? Can you really smell her?

Yes.

She's coming up.

You're really something!

Yeah!

Did you kick the elevator?

Sorry, sir, we were fooling around.

Go home!

So you can smell people, can you? Faggot!

Who are you looking for?

Who are you looking for?

Don't move! Sit down.

This is none of your business, just sit. You, too!

Everybody, sit!

There's no need to panic, we're looking for Fat Chan.

Sit down!

What's going on?

Sit down! Excuse me...

My name is Chan... But I'm not very fat, am I?

Who said this was the place?

Early one morning, following Brother Wing's instructions...

...I retrieved a pistol in the 4th floor toilet of a police station.

As Wing said, the world is coming to an end.

And money will make anyone do anything.

Autumn Moon!

Autumn Moon, help!

Autumn Moon!

Autumn Moon, help!

Autumn Moon!

Lady, help me!

My son?

I'm pretty good at fighting.

But I've never killed anyone in my life.

As soon as I reached the Peak Tram...

...I was very nervous,

I went blank.

I kept telling myself not to panic.

For Ping's sake, I had to finish this job.

Down there is Central District.

And over there?

That's Tsimshatsui.

I think we should open a shop in Central, you agree?

May I ask who's calling Mr Wing?

Autumn Moon.

Can you tell me the account holder's full name?

Cheung Siu-Wing.

Mr Cheung has requested that you leave your full name.

Autumn Moon.

The account holder is in China right now and is unable to return your call.

Can I leave a message?

Please, go ahead.

Please tell him that Autumn Moon has failed...

...and doesn't know what to do.

Tell him I'm sorry, I didn't want it to come out like this.

I will relay your message to the account holder.

Leave me alone, will you?

I didn't do you any wrong.

Please.

Stop making me come, I'll soon dry up.

I didn't steal those letters from you.

It was Sylvester! The dumb guy!

He's sleeping next door, go for him!

Please!

I'll return the letter to you.

I sympathize with you.

This is all your fault!

Get up! You can't sleep in my ma's bed.

Use my father's room.

No!

This way, dumbo!

Who sent you?

Fat Chan! Okay?

I found this at Autumn Moon's place.

Yes, it's a voluntary organ donation form.

I'd better explain the regulations...

...regarding organ donation.

First, any adult can donate all or part of their body...

...for the purposes of education, research or organ transplant.

Second, if that person does not expressly indicate their wishes...

...regarding a specific donation while they are still alive...

...the next of kin can make a decision on their behalf after death, unless...

Cut it short! Autumn Moon and my daughter were intimate friends.

When he found out about my daughter's illness...

he promised to donate a kidney to her.

He loved my daughter very much.

Please, let me finish.

Third, all donations must receive committee approval.

Since you're not the patient's direct relative...

...I'm not in a position to process your request for this donation.

Why not?

That contradicts what the publicity campaign for organ donations says.

We're simply trying to avoid any monetary transaction...

that may be involved in a donation.

But it was you who told my daughter to go home and wait!

If I'd known earlier...

...I'd have taken her to China and bought a kidney!

How can you adults be so ignorant?

Did you ever think the kidney you'd buy...

...could have been stolen from another patient?

Doctor, I understand you position.

But if Autumn Moon doesn't survive...

...and since he signed this form...

...can't you regard this as fulfilling his wishes?

You mustn't complicate the matter, I'm not a judge.

I don't know what crimes he might have committed...

...and I have no interest in finding out. Wishes are one thing,

and organ donation is another.

Both involve ethical and moral questions.

And we must not confuse one with the other.

In any case, he's still in emergency surgery.

He may yet survive.

Hello? Yes... I see.

After a seven-hour operation...

...the patient is no longer in critical condition.

So we don't need to prolong this discussion.

Thank you, Doctor.

What about my daughter? What about her?

Autumn Moon...

You've recovered?

I'm fine, where's Sylvester?

Don't you know what happened to him?

- What? - Come.

What happened?

What happened?

Look, Sylvester's dead.

What? Sylvester's dead?

"Retarded drug peddler shot dead."

Ping!

It's unlocked.

What happened to Ping?

She passed away last month.

Her condition deteriorated after you got injured.

I knew she wouldn't pull through.

One day last month, she vanished.

The next day, the hospital called.

They said she had died...

...lying next to you.

She left this for you.

How come I knew nothing about all this?

If you love her, visit her at the cemetery.

Buy her some roses, they were her favorites.

Ping was only sixteen.

Now that she's dead, she'll remain forever young.

But you still have a long way to go.

Ping adored you.

She thought you were a hero.

What would it have come to anyway?

Even if you'd given her your kidney, I would have insisted...

...that you weren't right for her.

Don't come again.

Give Ping back to me!

Autumn Moon!

Where are you? Have you recovered?

Come right away! Keung and I are getting married today.

I'm thinking of doing something to shock the world.

What?

Go back to school?

I... I'm truly worthless.

I failed Sylvester, I failed Ping.

Don't be silly! It wasn't your fault.

- Autumn Moon. - Honey, is that Autumn Moon?

Yes.

Quiet! I'm on the phone.

- Autumn Moon... - Keung.

It's the best day of my life! I feel great! Come and join the fun.

I want to ask you something.

What? Get over here now!

When can you not be punished for killing someone?

What do you mean?

I guess during wartime.

Hello... Hello! Autumn Moon!

Guys, keep an eye on this jerk for me!

Let's rob him!

Someone's coming! Run!

Shit! This is worth millions!

What should we do, Big Brother?

Damn you!

From tomorrow, each of you must bring me HK$360 every day.

I'll be your Big Brother.

If you run into trouble, just mention my name.

Moon, you're out! We could've picked you up.

- Where's Brother Wing? - He's inside.

These three kids work for us now.

Great!

Forget the past.

From now on, we're on the same side.

I know what you were thinking.

This one is real!

How could you kill a retard?

You are the lowest.

I remember you once said the world is now ruled by the young.

I'll show you.

Please, don't!

I never thought it'd come to this.

Now I can understand why Susan committed suicide.

When you're in a dead end, it's the only way out.

You simply jump, nothing scary about it.

Dying doesn't necessarily call for courage.

Well, that's easy to say, but actually doing it is a different matter.

Your father is in Shanghai for two months.

He's only called twice so far.

Say something.

Say something.

Your father says you're very talkative... Say something.

Don't feel uneasy with me.

Come here often, I'll make you soup.

Let's get to know each other.

Where's Daddy?

I have to go.

So soon?

I've got things to do

I'll tell your father that you came.

Thank you.

Autumn Moon, did you hear my message?

Will you join our dinner tonight?

Did you watch the news?

Brother Wing was murdered.

I did it.

You did it?

Yes, the cops are looking for me.

Are you kidding? It couldn't have been you!

I might do it again!

Those scumbags! They deserve it!

Autumn Moon...

I can't go home in the next few days.

Susan's spirit is bound to be waiting for me.

Susan, you'll have to be lonely without me.

If you can keep me safe and stop harassing me...

...I promise I'll be back.

Because this is my home.

Ever since Ma left...

...I've changed some of my habits.

When I walk along a street or sit in a mini-bus...

...I scan the people around me...

...hoping to find her.

I just wish she'd suddenly show up in front of me!

I know I've let down my family, Miss Lee and those who cared about me.

But the world is moving much too fast.

So fast, that when you finally get to fit in with it...

...it's become another brand new world!

How dare you send a guy to kill me!

You piece of shit! You wanna kill me?

You even like underage girls?

No! She seduced me!

- Did you? - No!

Go to hell!

Please!

Don't kill me!

How dare you send a guy to kill me! Spare me!

You wanna kill me?

My father keeps a mistress... For him, it's like 'Life... Take Two'.

Ma left me... For her, too, it's 'Life... Take Two'.

But the government promo says "There's no 'Take Two' in life".

It's all bullshit, that's why I hate adults.

They only tell lies, it's all hypocrisy.

I felt scared and helpless on the day Ma left.

But now, I know exactly what to do.

It's a letter.

Let me see.

That's Susan's handwriting.

Yes.

How come it's taken so long to reach us?

Two days later, they found my body.

No cops, no journalists.

No sensational scenes.

Standing in front of me were just some innocent kids.

I felt calm and relaxed.

Is he dead?

He's still alive.

Look, no reaction.

"Dear Mother, I have to go.

"Please forgive me. Take care of yourself.

"There are some books on my desk, please return them to the library for me.

"The notes should be returned to my classmates.

"Dad, please hang on and take good care of Ma.

"I've been feeling very bad lately.

"But I'll be responsible for my own actions.

"I've fallen in love with someone at school, that's very unfortunate.

"Being in love is so painful.

"I've let you down. I have to go now.

"Susan."

"Dear Susan, although we didn't know each other...

"... I've seen your picture.

"Lately, I've been dreaming about a strange spirit...

"... wandering about, seemingly lost.

"I don't know what it is.

"Maybe it's you, calling me from the dark.

"Did you ever think you were selfish to leave your parents on their own?

"Now you've come to get me!

"Frankly, I'm not as scared of death as you.

"I never wanted to die.

"Because Autumn Moon is there for me. Ping."

"Dear Girls.

"I've been obsessed by both of you ever since I knew you.

"This world is definitely unfair.

"Those who should've died are still alive and well.

"Those who deserved a good life are all dead.

"You know, you're both luckier than I am.

"At least you have families that care about you

"I've learned my lesson now.

"My existence in this world is only a nuisance to others.

"I might as well be dead.

"People like me might as well be dead.

"That will bring peace back to the world.

"Won't that be wonderful?

"Ping, your mother is right.

"If we die young, we remain forever young.

"Love forever, Autumn Moon Moon Cake."

Operator speaking.

Has account 818 returned my call?

- Who's calling? - Keung.

The account hasn't returned your call yet. I'll page him again.

Operator speaking.

Has account 818 returned my call?

Who's calling?

Indian.

Any message, please?

Tell him to show his face, we'll give him protection.

The account hasn't returned your call yet, I'll page him again.

Thanks.

Operator speaking.

Has account 818 returned my call?

Account 818 has a message display beeper.

Can I request the account to return call to the station?

Yes, what's your name?

Lee.

And your message, Miss Lee?

Tell him to return the call immediately, no matter what's happened.

We will inform him.

Thanks.

The living always want to judge the dead.

They despise the dead for being cowardly.

I wonder how many of them understand...

...how Ping, Sylvester, Susan and me actually think?

None of them.

But there's one thing I'm sure of.

We are all very happy now.

We aren't afraid, even if we have to face an uncertain world.

Because we've been made immune

Susan Hui! Susan Hui!

"This world is yours and it is ours.

"But at the end of the day, it is yours.

"You young people, so full of energy and in your prime...

"... you are just like the morning sun.

"We place all our hopes on you".

You're listening to the People's Radio of Hong Kong.

The words you just heard are from a speech given by Chairman Mao to Youth Leaders.

Let's repeat and study the Chairman's message in Mandarin Chinese.
