Boss, all of the escorts have been killed.

But the chief got away.

Well, don't worry.

We'll get him all right, he can't get very far.

You wait for me in town and we'll work with Tian first.

Tell him to get some girls ready.

I think I'll be spending the night in town.

Aye.

You take the stuff with you.

I'm going after him.

Aye.

Hey, I just found this tool case.

Just now, it was lying in the bushes.

Probably full of jewelry.

Ah!

Don't touch it, you open that and the boss will

have our hides.

All right, you take the cash, I'll bury the bodies.

Right.

I'm all right.

I can still walk.

Tough guy.

Look at that, the bank wins.

Hey, some more wine.

Yes, sir.

Hey, all right, ready to go again?

Right.

Let's go then.

Hey, that's three!

You're never gonna win with that.

Now you watch this now.

Oh, God.

Well, that just goes to show you.

You never can tell.

Tough luck.

Hey, your turn.

Your wine, sir.

Hey, since your boss hasn't arrived,

I can take that case for you.

No, you don't.

I'll deliver this case myself.

Hey, come on.

Right.

Let's have your money down now.

The more you bet, the more you can win,

that's for sure, any bets then?

Hey, don't you start gambling.

Here's your chance, your chance to get rich.

I only got two here.

See, you only need three, three to win.

You can do that.

Hey, come on.

I don't have a cent left, not one cent.

No money left, that is a pity.

Yet a worm, I'm sorry, it's too bad...

Hey, wait!

Hey, hey, hey!

You're taking bets on that two?

Is that right?

Come on, you said you would just now.

Well, all right.

If I must lose, but I have always maintained

that I am a man of my word.

See your bet.

Sorry, I win again.

Damn it.

Hey, would you mind if I used the sack?

For all my winnings, eh?

Hey, hey, hey.

You lost, pal, that's my dough now.

- Oh, hi, boss. - Been waitin' for ya.

So have I, found this case, been keeping it for you.

Give me that.

I won this money, I didn't steal it.

All right?

Let's go.

Yeah, come on.

You're a real lucky man.

And so are you.

What do you mean?

I've not been gambling.

I know that you haven't, didn't mean that.

Yiu Chin Koong, good.

Mr. Ching, not bad, huh?

Well, us, we're actually traveling acrobats.

We do train quite a lot, so we're usually in good form.

I like to think we're not too bad,

but at least we can do something except for ourselves.

That's enough!

Let him go.

Mr. Ching is Japanese, he comes from a long line

of samurai, professional warriors.

It's an honor just to fight him.

Get up.

If Mr. Su hadn't stepped in,

I'd have killed you for sure.

So keep a civil tone.

Mr. Ching, it's damn hot, let's have some fruit.

Quench your thirst.

Hey, you, bring some fruit.

Right.

You fight very well and all your men

are very good also.

I must admit I never expected that.

I'm sure I can use you all.

You just say what you want, I'll see it gets done.

Good, that's settled, it's a deal, thank you.

Hey, boss!

Mr. Su, how are things?

Not bad, not bad, please.

Bring it.

Now then, look there.

Well, now, you probably know the Shi Yang security corp

only escort high value goods.

Leave here and take the case with you quickly.

What is this?

You didn't do a clean job.

You don't care because you're a wanted criminal.

But I'm clean and I wanna stay that way.

What do you mean?

I hear one of your men, cabbed in a dice game,

lost 500 bucks.

Well, the money isn't marked!

We know that, but still, he gave away the sack

the money was carried in and that sack was labeled

with the name of the security company.

I know I should've killed that gambler.

I know I should.

That's another thing, you don't particularly mind

having to kill somebody in public,

but we can't do that.

To hell with you.

Boss is in a bad mood, watch out.

I...

It's all your fault.

Hey, calm down.

Don't lose your temper.

I hear that that guy's still staying in town.

He's probably spending all the money that he won.

Having a damned good time too.

That's easy then.

I can soon track him down.

After that, there's nothing to worry about.

Maybe so, but remember, this is a town,

it's not like the country.

So you be careful.

Don't you worry, I've worked bigger towns than this.

Well you mind if these two morons stay here for awhile?

Well, of course not.

Take them in.

Right.

Come this way.

Hey, boss, think you'll be able to find that guy?

If he does or does not, doesn't worry me.

We'll get that case of jewels as soon as Liu

runs out of patience.

Then, we shall go looking for that guy ourselves.

Master, your clothes.

That man I brought home, how is he now?

He's really a tough one.

We dressed the wound and now he wants to go.

Also wants to thank you.

Oh.

I was right about him, he is a tough one.

You don't meet many like that.

Anyway, I don't want him to thank me.

Tell him I've gone out, give him some cash

and send him off then.

Thank you, but I'm not a bum.

Don't need your money.

Right, I like tough men.

I don't intend to ask questions,

but I must warn you though.

Your enemies may still be out there.

Be careful.

Thanks for the advice.

Now, wait.

You have any friends here?

Yeah.

If he's a kung fu teacher, I must know him.

Who is he?

Teacher, Luk Chuen.

Wine, I want some wine.

Wine, wine.

Come on, let's have some wine.

Well, where is it?

What now?

He's too drunk, don't give him anymore.

I'm drunk?

I'm not drunk!

What's wrong?

What's all the noise about?

Go talk to him.

Oh, well.

Instructor Wu.

Hey, Mr. Wu needs some more wine,

so go and serve him.

But he's drunk, he broke the table.

A man as tough as him doesn't get drunk so quickly.

You serve him the best wine.

All right.

I don't serve him in case he gets mad.

Mr. Wu, here's your wine.

I don't need it.

Teacher.

What brings you here?

Teacher.

You've been wounded.

Yeah.

Come with me.

You can stay here, but listen,

don't tell me your problems, don't wanna know.

Hey, Teacher!

What's with you?

Teacher!

What the hell's got into you?

What's wrong?

Why have you changed like this?

I can tell you what's changed him.

Six months in jail for killing a man.

Shut up!

What's this?

I can't talk?

Why shouldn't I tell him that you're useless

and that you'd be better off smashing your head

against this post?

What's this?

You're getting mad?

Then hit me.

Come on.

Why the hell do you treat him like that?

Because he's my best friend, poor guy.

Can't bear to see him.

Look, how come he killed a man?

He was challenged to a duel, and as it happens,

he simply hit the guy too hard.

An involuntary homicide and he got six months.

Since he came out, he's been like this.

That's quite a blow, I was hoping that he might help me.

Mmm, where are you going?

Something I've got to do.

I've got you now.

Don't you think you ought to try a girl?

They're prettier.

Hold it!

Hey, it's me, it's Tian.

You see which way that guy went?

Shh.

You really have to be more discrete.

He'll have the cops down.

And so what?

Isn't your boss a friend of the commissioner?

Aiya, just keep your voice down a bit, will ya?

I nearly had the guy.

Hey, he must've passed you.

You see him?

No, I didn't see him.

Where'd you find him then?

The latcher, he was in the whore house

with three girls.

Damn it.

Come on, if you were as big a latcher as he is,

you would've found him in there.

God damn it, you spoiled my fun.

I heard his voice before I got started.

Now listen, your picture's in all the police stations.

If you get caught, even the boss won't even

be able to help you.

I think you ought to get out of town.

I won't, I'm gonna get him.

I'll tell you this then, you're gonna run into trouble.

And don't say I didn't warn you.

Hey, I'll check the casino, he may be trying out

his luck in there.

Listen!

Don't you try and screw the price down.

We risked our lives to get that stuff.

That case of jewels is worth at least 200,000.

I can't discuss this, you'll have to talk it

over with the boss.

God damn it, what's going on?

Why are you being so greedy?

You can get thousands of bucks from Mr. Su,

I didn't win that much.

You're just a bad loser.

Hey, Mr. Hong, why won't you teach us some kung fu now?

I'm not a teacher, I couldn't teach you anything.

Ask Teacher Wu.

There's no use asking him, he's finished, he's useless.

What the hell are you looking at me for?

Do you fancy me?

Well, tough luck.

Teacher Wu, morning.

Hold it.

Can't you talk?

Are you dumber?

Look at you, supposed to be a fighter.

Don't see how you could kill a man.

Must've been an accident.

A crummy bum like you couldn't harm anyone.

Careful, you better watch it.

You're not in his class.

Hey.

Did you hear that?

Well, then, come on.

Why won't you fight, huh?

You scared of killing us?

Pete, damn coward.

Let's go, come on.

Mr. Hong, you told me to tail that guy and I did,

but he cut me and he got some rope and tied me up.

And left me here, and I've been here

nearly all night.

Sorry about that.

That bastard, when I get him,

I'm gonna make him eat dirt, I swear.

Keep your voice down, someone's coming.

And what does dirt taste like?

I've never tried it, you tried it?

What's it like then?

Much of a flavor?

Taste good?

Well, tell me.

Mr. Hong, Mr. Hong.

I see now.

It was you who sent this fool to follow me.

You've got a nerve to stay here

after last night.

And why not?

Why should I run?

I've done nothing.

Didn't rob anyone.

Didn't rob anyone.

But every time that I see you,

your pockets are loaded with money.

Smart, ah?

Some sharp eyes, what a clever guy.

You fight well.

So do you.

Come on then.

Once more.

Mr. Hong!

Mr. Hong!

Mr. Hong, that man, is he really...

I had suspected he was one of the bandits,

I was wrong.

That man's not a bandit.

That bag, I won it in a dice game.

It's got an interesting name on it.

I assume you would like it.

Oh, just who are you?

I can't tell you, there's too much at stake in this.

A lot of dough and I don't want to lose it.

Are you after the loot?

More or less.

Let's say I'm interested.

Then you're Shao Bao.

How'd you know?

My name's Hong.

First name?

First name's Wei.

Oh, my god, I'm a fool.

I heard you were living here, I should've known.

Listen, I want you to meet someone.

Right.

I know this, another word gets around

you got beat, I tell ya, you're gonna lose

an awful lot of face.

Well, if I see him again, I'll tear the swang into pieces.

Hey, if you could do that,

then you would've done it.

Now look!

You stop sneering at me.

Whose side are you on?

All right, now you look, I think this guy

must be something special to dare to fight you.

Have you ever heard of a man who's a good fighter,

goes into hijacking and who's a sharp gambler?

Normally only robs crooks?

You mean Shao Bao.

My God, of course it's him, it must be.

Well, if that's the case, that money,

I can just forget it.

Listen, I don't think it's quite

as simple as that.

'Cause I think he hasn't finished with you yet.

What's that?

He dare try anything else.

He may be right, but wait and see.

Tell you what, you stay here for awhile.

I'll give you a room and some women too.

We'll see if I'm right.

Where is he?

He went straight off again

as soon as he dropped the letter.

He said that he wants to meet you tomorrow

and you have to come by yourself.

He said if you don't show up, then you're gonna regret it.

Marvellous.

Now show it to Lu.

Don't worry him, take his mind off those women.

He could do with the rest.

But boss, this Shao Pao's really crafty.

Is he?

Don't you worry, I can handle him.

Mr. Su, it's an honor.

Thank you, thank you.

Now how can I help?

Mr. Su, forgive me, it's such a small thing

I wanted to discuss.

Well I think it's quite a large matter.

Am I right?

You're right, I have this theory

that you, Mr. Su, are a dealer in stolen property.

Any proof of this?

I've no direct proof, there's plenty of indications

and if I were to sell my theory to the press,

I guess...

They'd be willing to pay $1000 for it.

Listen, do you think they'd take the word

of some no good bum like you?

Against someone like me who has a good local reputation?

Well, we can put it to the test then.

Then we'll soon know.

Now wait!

God damn it, you win then.

Now let's go some place and discuss it.

You wanna discuss it, that's all right.

You wanna go to some other place,

well that's all right too I guess.

But you go first though, I'll follow.

Please.

What is it that you want?

Straight to the point, I like that.

Here's what I want.

You send off $10,000 to an address in Shanghai.

Well then, so what do you say?

10,000? No way.

I could buy a nice coffin for that.

Good enough for you.

Let's discuss it, let's not fight.

Look.

Hey, lost your money?

It's right here.

What do you wanna fight?

Well, go fishing.

God damn you.

Now wait.

Now look can we make a deal first?

It's like this, frankly, I really don't like

dancing with men.

So if you promise me not a dance

and not a fish then I'll fight ya.

Now wait, an old Chinese proverb.

Just came to me.

Come on, get on with it.

He's stalling now.

When the horizon looks black,

great danger threatens you, then depart hastily.

Good bye.

Damn you.

Get after him, go on.

In the gym, let's go.

Talk!

Who sent you here?

Go to hell!

Hold it!

Talk!

Where's the guy with the wounded leg?

I don't know!

Hey, let's go!

Teacher, Mr. Wu's back.

Tell me.

Who did all of this?

What the hell do you care?

Who was it?

Who?

Does it matter?

Do you really care?

'Cause you've already forgotten what it's like

to be a real fighter.

You're just useless, get out!

Yeah, you're quite right.

I'm just useless.

Just useless.

Mr. Sum.

Don't feel bad.

Mr. Wu's a real man.

He'll snap out of it one day.

Mr. Hong.

Hi, there.

How many men were in this gang?

Let's see, about nine I think.

Same gang that robbed me.

Although some of them wore masks.

Mr. Wong, I think that you ought to lie low

and your men, they should stay at home too.

Right.

And you can stay with me then.

Mmm.

Behind this gang, there's someone big.

And I believe that I might well know who it is.

Da Lang, where have you got Shao?

He's in the cellar.

He's a cunning bastard, him, so watch him.

Don't worry, if he makes just one false move,

then I'll nail him.

Like that.

Now listen you.

Lie where you are and don't make a move.

You move once, I'll cut your legs off.

Oh, my God, it hurt.

Shut your mouth, damn it.

Shut up!

You'll keep the men awake, be quiet.

Well, seems we are fellow sufferers.

Still I got off lighter than you did.

Hey, how'd they get you?

Get lost, go to hell!

You're so fierce, surprised I managed

to beat you at all.

Why you!

Hey, hey, you mustn't hit me.

Not with my hands bandaged, it wouldn't be fair.

That would be taking advantage of me.

Stop that!

Now cut that out.

I've got some news for you.

Come on, sit down, sit down.

The way I see it, one local man, Su Chin Fong,

is backing all of these gangs.

But still I haven't any real evidence yet.

And until we can get some, there's not much we can do.

Oh?

So it's Su Chin Fong.

I guessed it was him.

Now then, you two men, you gotta both stay here

to recover, then we'll work out something.

With him?

Knock it off, wait until you get better.

Then we can fight.

I must say, I don't get it.

Your men are all professionals.

How come you let him get away?

We can get him again.

Was he really crippled?

Come on!

What the hell are you so nervous about?

Now how much will you pay for those jewels?

Not one nickel!

Those are mine!

You what?!

You can't do this to me!

You bastard!

You're a fool, you did a really lousy job there.

I've lots of other clients.

Don't need your business.

You can peddle your goods to the devil.

Mr. Chin, you're terrific.

Tell you what, I know you like that restaurant

managerette, I'll see to it that you get her.

Mr. Wu, it's late.

Why not stay here?

After all, we've lots of rooms here.

I'll see...

The usual please.

All right.

I'll tell ya, but it's the truth, don't you believe me?

Well, you both made very quick recoveries.

I'm all right now.

Know what they say,

can't kill a cat that's got nine lives.

And that's us, a couple of old tom cats.

That's right.

Speak for yourself.

Well it seems to have stopped raining.

So I think I'll go out.

Take my gun out and see if I can shoot something

for our dinner.

Good, and while you're out doing that,

I'll see if I can finish off this wine.

Hey, neither of you is to go out.

You mean me?

I do.

It's too dangerous right now.

Well!

Bet this gun's expensive.

Too bad I can't shoot.

Hey!

Better not throw those, you'll look behind you.

Well why the hell did you let him get away?

You walk?

I'm very sorry, I didn't mean that.

Dive in!

Dive in!

All right, all right.

Mr. Ching.

Hey, you, what are you doing?

Shh, is Ching there?

He's like a mad dog.

He just likes to kill.

All right, why are you standing in my way?

Well, you see, you just look so lonely.

You shut up, get out of my way!

Listen, just wanted to tell you.

My friend here, he's crazy about you.

Hey, don't act so damn snotty.

All the other women in town here

would fall over themselves to get him,

but he happens to like you.

Says you're his type.

If you don't think he can satisfy you,

then how about you give him a try out?

Tell him to try your mother.

I'm not interested.

Don't be so fussy.

We all know you're a whore.

God damn you.

I'll teach you.

Mr. Wu, help me!

Someone help me, please!

Mr. Wu!

Someone help me!

Help!

For God sake, help me!

Let her go!

Well now, our hero.

Well I've heard of heroes helping fair ladies,

but this, an old bum rescuing a bitch.

Mr. Hong!

Mr. Hong!

It's me!

Teacher.

Hi, there.

Are you all right?

Okay.

Good, sit down, sit down.

Oh and how's your leg now?

Much better now.

Mr. Wu, I must say you look very good now.

Having a girlfriend, that's what it is.

Oh, Mr. Hong.

Now that we know what Su's records here is

and he knows we know,

he'll be after us now.

So then what do we do next?

Not sure.

Although Ching has beaten all of us now.

I think he's unlikely to attack us at this point.

Well if we were to attack?

Attack him.

We would if it weren't for your leg.

What was that again?

Guess I was wrong, there's nothing the matter

with your leg now.

Right, let's settle it outside.

Hey now, wait.

Let's not fight among ourselves.

Let's go setlle Ching!

What's so urgent?

That guy left a message here.

They're challenging us to a fight tomorrow.

With all of our men.

If Ching is there, we won't need any of our men.

He's already shown us that he can beat any of those fools.

But this time they won't escape.

Ching is gonna fix them once and for all.

You don't think it might be a trap?

Don't worry.

Ching can handle anything they can come up with.

We won't bother to take any men.

Ready?

Yeah.

Right!

You can't get away now!

We've got you!

Here, Shao!

Hey, it's me!

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Let's finish them.

Yeah.

Hey, what's happened to Sum though?

Well, I think he's all right, but let's take a look.

Right.

I'm here, over here!
