But you took on the heat

Can we spare Dragon?

What? You want to protect your brother?

Look

l am afraid that

we are losing the entire Monga

you know that?

lt's like the last years of Ching Dynasty

All the foreign powers

have surrounded China with

their firearms, canons and ships

That old empress Tz'u-Hsi still thought

she could bring them all down

That's exactly what's happening in Monga

Our Boss Masa

puts on fancy clothes

and fools around everyday

And your Boss Geta is a stubbern old fool

The future is knocking on the door,

and Monga is still asleep

They all call me mad dog

They are right

But l had been thinking a lot

during the 3 years in prison

My boss turned me in

during the Big Crackdown

That Dragon, you took on the beating

every time he screwed up

That's the kind of fate for people like us

Now the Mainlanders are asking nicely

to do business with us

The proud old folks

refused right on the spot

When the time comes,

who's put on the frontline?

No one else but you and me

lt's guns in their hands

You really think you can

fight them with a stabbing tube?

Don't feel ashamed

to work with the outsiders

You really think l'll let

the Mainlanders take over Monga?

Look who's thinking for Monga

Shoot, talking is useless

Holy crap, all that wind, and now the rain

ls the typhoon really coming?

Boss Masa have a good night, come again

And you, don't run around, be good

Ah, you came for Auntie Ai as well?

Boss

Boss Geta is here

with all of his Temple Front

brothers, to pay their respect

Please bless them, so that they are safe,

healthy and prosperous

Homeboy, rest in peace

l swear right here, on my name

That l will find the murderer

To do your vengeance

My condolence, take care

Boss Geta

l have mobilized everyone

in the Back Alley

l've also notified Taoyuan,

Chungli and the South

Boss, if you can help us find him

l'd very much appreciate

We have to get A-Chung

l want him kneel in front of our boss,

and pay back with his life

l'll help you find A-Chung

But we don't need to kill him

l'll find out if he's the murderer

Who knows? Maybe it's your own man

who did this, then frame him

Boss, how can you say this?

Are you saying that

our men killed our own boss?

F***, l'd say someone

from you Temple Front killed him

Don't move!

God is watching, we all know what we did

Boss, got news from the Back Alley

They said A-Chung

is spotted nearby the Watergate

Now they and the Da Dao Cheng

people are all out to get him

Boss

l heard A-Chung is around Watergate

Everyone, go get him now

OK let's go

You go with them

Boss, what about you?

There's nothing to worry about,

l'm on my own turf

Go, hurry

Boss, you're closing

Yeah

Everybody's out to get A-Chung,

not much business around here

All of the Temple Front went?

Your Boss Geta, l think he stayed

Then please make two for me

Please

OK:

Sorry, come early tomorrow

We came all the way from the South,

can we just do a brief prayer?

Oh

Boss, boss

Anybody?

Anybody here?

Call the ambulance

Hurry call the ambulance

Boss

Somebody?

Call the ambulance

Anybody here?

Boss Dragon is gone

l told Dragon not to come today

lf Dragon shows up today, he will die

Those bastards want our Dragon dead

They want us dead

they want us at the Temple Front all dead

Can't you see what's happening?

l'll go find him

You stay right here

l don't want him back,

l don't want him here

Don't you go get him

our Geta will understand

Madam, madam, calm down, have a seat

l don't want him back

don't bring him back

Who is it?

lt's me, me

lt's OK now

lt's me

lt's time, can't wait anymore

Who will hold the memorial tablet then?

l'll do it

Geta or Masa, take your pick

Geta

Goddamn sons of b*tches

How dare you, getting all despicable

in front of Master God

You two go from the back door

Go now

lf you don't kill them today

One day they'll kill you

l want them to pay with their blood

Why are you pushing me?

Motherf***er

You think we're their match?

How on Earth do you think

we can do anything about it?

Boss Geta is dead, Boss Masa is dead too

Aren't you humans?

Don't you have any feelings?

Do you even have feelings?

Don't you be stirring things up

How do we revenge

without knowing who did it?

lt's Wim-Kian, must be him

Everybody knows it,

but no one dares to touch him

Motherf***er

No! Stop it!

Monk

Stop it, Monk

Stop it

At this point, revenge is suicide

Besides, Dragon can't stay in Monga

You three

take Dragon to the Philippines,

lay low for a while

l'll stay and investigate

We need evidence

l'll stay too

Do you remember,

the night Boss Geta died

You were all sent to find that A-Chung

Have you ever thought

it could just be a smoke bomb?

A-Shing

The thing, l want it done tomorrow

OK, no problem, leave it to me

Get some rest Boss, l'm heading off

Monkey is involved in an armed assault

Now the police suspects that

the gun in his possesion

is the same one that killed

the Back Alley boss

You pathetic liars

My Monkey is still at school

What did you take me here for?

l gotta hurry home

and cook for him

F*** your sorry ass

Dragon, don't do that

Let's go

lgnore 'em

Why are they like this?

Because Monkey killed Boss Masa

Apparently Boss Geta

ordered Monkey to do it

so he could take over the Back Alley

Then they in turn killed

Boss Geta and Blackie

Temple Front did something like this

The gang has lost people's respect

What are you talking about?

Monkey didn't kill Boss Masa

Then you go explain to everybody

What is the reason that made

Monkey become the scapegoat?

Something to drink?

l am just here to ask you a question

Then l'm out of here

Have a seat

Hey you guys take a break,

Grey Wolf Bro. has a meeting

Why did you leave my mom

in the first place?

Something went wrong

Had to get away

Then why didn't you explain to her?

Because then she would

have waited for me

Didn't want her to waste her youth waiting

Then, if you were given a second chance

Would you stay with her?

We only live once

l've run out of my chances

Yes

You still have a chance

lf something happens to me,

please take good care of her

What are you talking about?

l'm warning you

Your mom went through hell to raise you

You owe her your life

You get me?

But Boss Geta died in my arms

l can never forget how he died in my arms

You know what?

Whichever way the wind blows

The grass bends along

When l was young

l thought l was the wind

But eventually it cost me dearly

Then l realized we're all just grass

You are still young, you've got options

Go to the Philippines

and lay low for a while

What's gonna happen in Monga

nobody knows

l need to speak to Monk

l've made up my mind,

l'll go to the Philippines too

l'll be in the Philippines

for a couple months

You haven't served in the military,

how do you get out of the country?

Unregistered boat

l will be back soon

l've asked Auntie how much you owe her
