Legacy of Rage Page #2

Synopsis: Brandon plays Brandon Ma, a regular working Joe who holds down two jobs, so he can support his girlfriend May and his dream of owning a motorcycle. Brandon's best friend is Michael (played by Michael Wong), an ambitious and murderous dope peddler. How Brandon and Michael ever became friends is the biggest mystery in the film. In any case, Michael covets May and so he comes up with a plan that will win her for him, and solves a problem he's been having. It seems that an undercover cop named Sharky has been using his police connections to dominate the local cocaine trade, so Michael has him killed and uses Brandon as the fall guy. Brandon goes to jail, though he thinks that he will be released soon thanks to the efforts of his good buddy Michael. Eight years later Brandon finally gets out of jail.

By working two jobs now

I will have saved enough money

in five months to buy something I like

This model is great

A motorcycle?

So?

You just think about the motorcycle

I'm nothing to you

This bike is powerful, has a great

motor, and is fuel-efficient

It makes steady turns, all the cars

behind it will eat its dust

And I have no part in this

You do, the back seat is reserved for you

It's not practical to spend the money on

a motorcycle

Motorcycles again!

Fine, I won't buy a motorcycle

I'll save this money for our baby

Don't think about motorcycles

Brandon

Yes

Sorry I got you hurt that day

Come for dinner at the

Middle East Restaurant

Now?

Yes

I don't have time

You must come, we'll wait for you

Brandon, over here

What took you so long?

This is my first time in this kind

of restaurant

Wash your hands, that's the etiquette

Please give me a knife and fork

We don't use utensils, Middle-Eastern

food is eaten with your fingers

With my fingers?

Yes, just your right hand, try it

I caused you to be beaten, sorry

I'm fine, you're worse

What does Kau have against you?

I'd like to know myself

Sir, someone is at the door for you

That's Kau

Kau

We'll talk over there

Need help?

No

Please sit

Dad is ill, so he didn't come

I don't care of he sent his dog here...

as long as the amount is correct

You're trying to trick me again

Business has not been good lately

Dad said to ask you to take half first

Bargaining is for women's markets

Take the money back to buy coffins

for both of you

Go to hell

Stop

Kid Freeze

Stay away, punk

I'm a cop, put down your gun

He's not a cop, don't believe him

Punk, it's none of your business

He's my friend

Michael

Young Master, how is your foot?

It's fine, just a little scratched

Good thing I wore a bullet-proof vest

Kid, you have guts

Just shooting people like that

Do you know who you killed?

He was Kau, Chief of the Narcotics

Squad in the Police

You're looking at a long jail sentence

Wait and see

Are you satisfied, Chief Lau?

Thank you Uncle

we'll work together again

Bottoms up!

Make yourselves at home

Money earned belongs to everyone

That was a brilliant move

You would even betray your friends

Like father, like son

Mr, Wong, as our lawyer, when you

visit the kid tomorrow...

try to persuade him...

to remember to say he was alone

Boss, don't worry

He's simple-minded, easy to handle

This way, Chief Lau

It's important you don't say

the wrong thing now

I will compose your oral statement for you

Just recite it when you are in court

How is Michael?

He's badly hurt but recovering now

That's why you must not say

that you were together

That is very important

As for your girlfriend, don't worry

Michael will take good care of her

And we will do the same

Is this a serious crime?

You only killed out of self-defence

It shouldn't be serious

I will try to lessen the sentence

It's most important that you trust us

I declare that Brandon Ma is...

guilty of manslaughter...

and will serve a sentence of eight years

to commence immediately

Name?

Brandon Ma

On what charge?

Manslaughter

How many cages?

That means, how long is your sentence

Eight years

Are you in a gang?

No

Do you wish to appeal?

That means you haven't decided

From now on, we will call you

by a number

Your number is 1368

Your life and behaviour...

will be under our scrutiny

The alarm rings at 6,00am

You have five minutes to

make your bed...

groom, and use the washroom

You have fifteen minutes for breakfast

You will work eight hours a day...

five and a half days a week

During work, unless permitted...

you may not speak to anyone

Your daily pay is $1,60...

out of which we'll keep 40 cents...

to return to you upon your release

You must absolutely obey the

instructions from the officers...

but you have the right to complain

Are you clear on that?

In here, you and I are in the same boat

You wait for release, I wait to get paid

We're both killing time in a jail

So I hope you will behave

Inside

Get up, Get to work! Go

Incredible

This is from me

A real man admits to what he has done

I deserve my punishment

Don't worry, I live well here

I like your haircut

May, did Mr, Wong call you?

Sorry, I promised to marry you...

but now, I won't be able to

You must be disappointed

I don't smoke, you take it

Keep it, this is money, it's useful

Come one, give me another one

What's wrong?

He owes me cigarettes

How many?

One more

Let's go

Are you all right?

I'm fine

You're a real pal

Be careful, it's complicated in here

What did you do?

Weapons, I'm a gun dealer

Hey! You have many cigarettes

He's a newcomer

Shut up, not you

You! Come here

Either you kiss my ass

or you call me "Papa"

Squat down!

Don't move

Squat down!

You must have started it

How could you let this happen?

You know life is complicated here

Everyone here is a major criminal

And those damn Westerners

Actually...

Since you know the bosses watch us...

you shouldn't do stir up this major stuff

If it happens again, I will not

deal with it

You'll deal with it yourself

Watch what you do

Get out

Yes, sir

Your punishment is to serve

three more months

You'll get more if you misbehave

May, I have never written such a

difficult letter

I hope to get out of here as soon

as possible

This incident ruined all of our plans

You must be very disappointed

I don't know how much longer I have

to serve

Mr, Wong came a few days ago

I know Michael is worried about me

He is a true friend

You must take care of yourself

Ask Michael for help if you

need anything

He will take good care of you for me

Love, Brandon

Please wait outside, we'll know soon

Thank you

You're welcome

Congratulations!

Tell your husband, he will be a father

Come back for a check-up in 2 weeks

Miss, don't go

This is from me

Thank you

Shall we talk in my hotel?

Your hotel?

I'll give you a ride

I want to talk about Brandon with you

Sorry

Miss, I have another gift for you

Miss

How have you been?

Do you know I've missed you

Is there a chance to appeal

Brandon's case?

Appeal? He killed a man

We're lucky it's only eight years

What more do you expect?

You're still young, isn't it better to

marry me?

You are such scum!

Brandon is in jail because of you

and still you say such things

Stop, I want to get out

Don't pretend to be proper

I am nice to you just to save you face

You think you're a lady? You're

a whore!

Don't let her get away

Help! Somebody is...

Manager, are you all right?

They will find you

You must not stay here

Go!

Go to Macau

or even to Lantau

Just hide

Avoid Michael if you can

I heard rumours that...

the cop at Middle East Restaurant...

was killed by Michael's men

Brandon was only a scapegoat

You must go

And you?

Don't worry about me, go

Stop crying

The Manager told me about you

It's bad for you to stay in Hong Kong

Come to Brazil with me, avoid Michael

My wife died years ago
