I'll tell you what...

go ahead and send me a brochure.

Okay, let's keep in touch.

Hello?

Credit-card scam.

I think Brother Bao is busy.

So?

I don't know.

Let's just open it.

-No -Let me see it.

What's in here?

I don't know.

Don't you think it's a little strange?

You have no idea what you're delivering.

What were you thinking?

What is it?

That guy.

-You recognize him? -No.

Police!

What is he yelling about?

I don't know

You two!

-What should we do? -Run!

Hey!

Hey, wait for me!

Hurry!

You two, stop!

Stop!

Hurry!

Okay!

I'm a police officer!

Excuse me.

Kids, no running in the subway!

Sir, no running in the subway!

Hey, I think we ditched him.

Yeah, great.

Hey, where are you going?

(The Palace)

Get out!

I, Howard, promise l

will also love Mandy!

Thatwill never change!

I, Mandy...

Will be with Howard forever!

Auntie, we're going upstairs.

Oh.

F***! These are pretty good.

How much longer do we have to wait?

A little while, just sit tight.

I'm sorry

I don't knowwhat's going on either.

How did you get yourself involved

in this?

I don't know, I was just trying to

get to Paris.

That's all.

You couldn't think of an easierway?

It seemed reasonable at the time.

I'm sure it did.

What now?

What about Gao?

Kai...

This way!

Hurry!!

Police! Stop running!

Hurry!

This way!

Oh sh*t.

What are you doing?

Dance orwe're going to get caught!

Come on! Dance!

Okay.

You're doing itwrong.

-Does it matter? -Yes

Forward.

Worry about yourself.

Like this.

Here.

Hey, where is he going?

I think we can go now.

Oh, okay.

Sir, I think you have the wrong person.

Uncle, I have an apartment to show.

Now? This late?

It was difficult to schedule.

This is the only time they

were available.

I better get going!

I don't want to be late.

Nice moves back there.

Pretty bad right?

There's room for improvement.

So what now?

I don't know.

Why you need to get

over there so badly?

Didn't you say that

she's waiting for you?

Yeah. I guess so.

Actually,

she doesn't even know I'm coming.

You're kidding, right?

We talked about going to Paris together.

And then?

I guess she decided l

should just stay in Taipei.

I thought that if I could

get over there somehow.

At least I would have that.

I don'thave a whole lot going

for me here.

Draw!

Flush! Red dragon,

three seasons, mixed suits!

Wiped you out!

F***! We're not playing for money!

I told you guys...I have mahjong skills.

What are you wearing?

Oh, I forgot to take it off.

What a crappy job.

Hello and welcome, please come again.

Good impression.

Sh*t yeah.

I just got drafted though.

F***.

You got a girlfriend?

Better hit that while you still can!

For real.

No. I don't have a girlfriend.

But I'm working on it.

Working on what?

Yeah what?

Nothing.

Who's the girl?

Co-worker.

What's her name?

Peach.

Oh...Peach.

Peach.

So cute.

Yeah.

How much longer do you have?

Not much longer.

Does she know you're leaving?

No.

F***! When she hears that...

Her bra will fly right off!

Really?

Just tell her...

"Girl, I'm going off to the army..."

"l want you to know..."

"l won't stop thinking about you".

That's how it's done.

Definitely. You're in. No problem.

Really?

How do you think he ever gets laid?

Actually, I've never even been

in the army.

Damn.

Playing mahjong?

Hey, Hong

I want to play, who's winning?

Who's this moron?

We grabbed him.

Where's the package?

Oh.

We had kind of a setback.

But his friend has it.

Right, so we were thinking...

Who told you guys to think?

Ifwe grabbed him...

What is this? A picnic?

I said get the package.

But you bring back this moron!

I can't believe you guys are my crew.

Our bad, Hong.

Yeah, sorry Hong.

Sorry, Hong.

It's okay, it's okay.

We'll just have to adapt

to the circumstances.

We can still make this

a successful score.

Hey, Gao?

Hey Kai, it's me, Gao.

I know it's you! Are you okay?

It's Gao.

Hey, Gao.

Not bad.

Where are you?

Hey.

You have thirty minutes

to get me the package.

Huh?

Or there's going to be a dead body

at bottom of the rive

Dead body?

What do you want me to do?

You know the Yongfu Bridge?

Uh-huh.

On the other side of the river.

So...walk forward a little bit.

And then...

Walk forward a little bit more.

And then...on your right...

There's an empty lot on the right.

Just wait for us there.

Okay, I'll be right there.

I'm warning you! Come alone. No cops.

Orthere will be a dead body

in the river!

Okay, I understand.

Just hold on, I'll be there.

Tie him up now please.

Oh, okay.

What?

Theywant to exchange the package

for Gao.

What are you going to do?

I guess I should get going.

Really?

I guess I should take care

of this myself.

You're really going alone?

Probably.

Hey.

I'm think it might be better

if there's two of us.

You sure you want to come?

Okay.

You sure you're okay?

Thanks so much for listening.

I'm just glad I can be here for you.

So...I guess this is goodnight?

Goodnight.

What is this?

Ji-Yong, what are you doing here?

Ji-Yong?

Who is he?

Didn'tyou see the note I left?

I saw it. Butwho's he?

A friend.

Hi, I'm Raymond.

-A friend? -Hey.

That's right.

Oh yeah?

Hey, why don't you calm down?

I am calm!

Don't do that!

Raymond, are you okay?

I'm okay, no need to worry.

What did you push him for?

He started it.

I barely touched you.

We were just talking, that's it.

-Although... -Raymond!

Yuan finally realizes you're

not worth it

Is that true?

I...

Yuan, tell him.

Stay out of it.

I'm sorry!

Yuan, wait...

I already told you.

I need time to think things over.

Yuan...

Hey, your phone's ringing.

I know.

At least I'm getting Gao back.

I've gotten so used to waiting.

I'll just be stuck here a little longer.

Being stuck here isn't so bad.

Where's the package?

Where's my friend?

Where's the package?

Where's Gao?

Who?

My friend.

Hand it over.

What are you doing?

What are you doing? Let her go!

Hey!

Why did you hit me?

Leave him alone! Hand it over!

Just give us the package, okay?

Did you hear me?

Okay, just take it easy.

Idiot.

Why did you have to hit me?

Let's go!

Are you okay?

My nose is broken!

Let me see.

It's not broken.

But it will probably be swollen.

Gao's gone, the package is gone.

I'm finished.

Hey, where are you going?

Wait for me!

Susie, wait for me!

What are you doing?

There has to be one!

What?

Look!

That's not a good idea.

Aren't you going a little fast?

Well done, we're all set.

Very good.

Sir, where have you been?

Where is he?

Inside.

Get down.

Back to the Palace?

Yeah.

F***, that was lame.

Seriously.

Hello?

Hey, uh...Kai.

How's everything going?

Brother Bao,

I've been trying to reach you!

What's wrong? Did you have the package?

Yeah, I did...but someone's after me!

They grabbed my friend too!

Who?

I don't know!

They were all wearing orange suits.

But you still have the package?

Yeah...I still have it.
