Godspeed Page #3

Synopsis: Na Dow carries out his drug-delivering routine by taking a cab down south and returning in the same cab on the same day. One day he reluctantly gets into a shabby taxi driven by the carefree, innocent Xu, who came to Taiwan more than 20 years ago and somehow decided to stay. Na Dow's plan to reform himself and Xu's wish for a peaceful life take a wrong turn when they become the target of a mob attack. The drugs and the money are gone, and both Na Dow and Xu are held hostage in the trunk of a car.

Keep driving

Anyway when it's time

I'll get you the money

What?

I'll get you the money

Young boss

To tell the truth

I've been too good to you

Just now I was making a run for it

But then I thought it over

and decided to come back to save you

If I hadn't come back

The one lying on display back there

Could've been you, you know?

You understand

what the hell they're doing?

No

Why would they turn up

at someone's funeral?

Don't know

Meeting a friend

Anything weird like this happen before?

No

Looked like that taxi driver

was about to run off just now

Something's strange today

Call Kaohsiung and

tell Blackie to ready a car

And borrow two of his men

All right

Young boss, have a steamed bun

That'll be 100N F***

Didn't know you had

a damn cafeteria on board

When I got left the car just now

you said you didn't want any

Now you're looking hungry

Okay, okay, I won't charge you

Here, here, take it

No charge

Young boss,

you travel north to south often?

Yeah

How long you've been doing it?

Over a year

Hire a ride each time?

Yeah

Did you pay each time?

Yeah

Only this time's different

Aren't you the one who f***ed it up?

It's not my fault

I meant for us to just grab a bite

and then hit the road

I couldn't do anything about it

Okay

When I'm done with business

I'll help you pay that 2500

Why's there someone

following behind us?

Must be your imagination

How was the hospital visit?

Fine

If it's fine, why were you knocked out

for two days?

The doctor said lots of people actually

get that symptom

Anyway, I underwent a few tests

Twenty one plus two

Twenty three

Twenty three plus one

Twenty four

Twenty four plus two

Twenty six

Twenty six plus three

Thirty

Thirty plus two

Thirty two

Thirty two plus three

Thirty five

Thirty five plus one

Thirty six

Thirty six plus two

Thirty eight

Thirty eight plus one

Thirty nine

Thirty nine plus two

Forty

Forty plus one

Forty one

Is this the first time?

Yes

How do you get better?

If the doctor said it's fine, then it's fine

F***

Young boss

You're dreaming

Hey hey hey

Hey

Wait for me here

I'll be back soon

What if you're not?

I'll be back

Let's go together

Wait for me here

Ten minutes

Twenty, at most

Young boss

Look at my face

Take a good look

Do I look like a fool?

All right

A lot of people go in

Then run out the back

I don't mean you, of course

Let's go together

If you come with me

The people inside aren't

going to be happy

If they aren't happy

You might not get your money

I'll give you your money

as soon as I'm out

You'll take me back to Taipei

Hey hey hey

Hey

Hey

Hey

What're you looking at?

This is because you didn't f***ing prepare

the pins well

What're you looking at?

How is it?

Not bad,eh?

What're you looking at?

Hurry and set it up

The f***ing hell's wrong with you?

Brother Tuo

Oy

Here

Mmm

Holy sh*t

What's up?

How did you get here today?

Kuo-Kuang Bus or police car?

Taxi

F***

You must be the world's

smartest motherf***er

Making deliveries in a taxi

Ahh

Your boss f***ing likes you

The other day he was buttering

your ass up all day

But that bastard's weird

Thinks I've got bad taste

Told me to tear

The plastic off this sofa

How does it look?

It's good

It's good

No wonder he likes you

Here

Can you hurry the f*** up?

Motherf***er

Ah Cai

Can you move faster?

What, are you giving birth?

How is it?

Are you f***ing having fun over there?

How is it?

F*** you, is how.

Holy sh*t

Not bad,

eh?

Have a smoke

What the f*** are you

standing there for?

Bring the money here

Check it

It is real money

Ahh, Brother Tuo

Are you all on vacation today?

Why's there no one outside?

You're f***ing crazy

Vacation my ass, holy sh*t

Ah Wen?

I asked you where's f***ing Ah Wen?

He said he's busy, he'll come later

F***

One of these days,

we'll have to fix his ass

Hey

Brother Tuo

Hey

I'm truly sorry

It's late almost a week

But the stuff's real good this time

It's very different

It's still the same

Ahh, have you tried it?

I'm not about to f***ing try it

I told Ah Cai to try it

Just seeing him in high spirits

I can tell it's good stuff

You

You must have been f***ed over

by that,that what's-his-name,

That Thai motherf***er

Ahh

When I came back from my trip

to China last week, something came up

So then

I wanted to call you immediately

What was it?

I went to Henan to meet a friend, right?

He took me to his old family home

Introduced me to his old man

That old man was seventy-something

When I came over

They were just having lunch

Then that old man brought a bowl

of noodles in

He grabbed some food

Then hauled a bench outside

You know what he did with that bench?

Did he take it outside to sit on,

while he ate?

How can you be so dumb?

Okay.

I'll give you another chance

Try and guess

You know what he did with the bench?

He must have used

it as a table to eat on

I'll tell you

Once he took that bench outside

He squatted right on top

of the damn thing to eat noodles

What a f***ing joker

Motherf***er

Hey

You know

When he took that bench

Why he was squatting on it?

I'll find you later

You know why?

I don't know

You don't know why, do you?

You think you can live past today?

You think you'll live

to motherfucking 1400 years old?

Want to kill these two as well?

Kill one dealer

The police won't give a sh*t

Kill two

The police can look the other way

But kill three

And the police will come for you

Through hell and high water

Your brain's not busted on drugs, is it?

Let's go

What're you still doing here?

You want a hand?

Wu

Tell Blackie

Get some more men out here

I don't care what it costs

I want these guys caught

F***

It's my first time riding a Mercedes

It's so steady

So quiet

Tomorrow's my birthday

Did you know?

F***

How would I know?

Driving around today

I kept wondering

Tomorrow

Should I go eat steamed dumplings?

What's to wonder with dumplings?

Just go eat them

It's not that simple

Young boss

You know how much I make a day?

After paying for gas

1200N I have to bring home 1200NT each day

Any extra, I get to keep

If I make less

I have to pay the difference

You know, in Taipei

There's a great steamed dumpling place

A lot of Japanese go there

Yeah

Last year on my birthday

My wife

My kid

And my old mother-in-law

We went together

To eat steamed dumplings

To celebrate my birthday

That day

The place was packed

I let them off first

So they could take a number

In fact, there was a parking lot nearby

But I wouldn't park

It was too expensive

On principle

I don't park in any illegal spaces

or pay parking lots

That day

I searched all day before finding

a free parking space

After parking I realized

It was a long way from the

dumpling place

I ran back to the dumpling place

And saw my family from afar

Still waiting in line

I thought

It's been so long

And our number hasn't been called?

Then I noticed
