l'll figure out a way to get that money

When l come back

l'll get you out of here

l'll take you to the movies some time

How's that possible

lf l get caught, they'll break my legs

Auntie promised me, personally

She'll tell them

that you're going for abortion

Here

Cheers

Grey Wolf, that's it then, we're heading off

Sure

Scar, see them to the door

Yes, sir

That's it

There's no problem right?

Don't worry

You need to do it nice and clean

Don't leave behind anything

that'd make us lose sleep

He already agreed to get on

the boat with them

And then,

what are we gonna do when he's back?

Mom, l left some savings in your closet

Why in my closet?

Deposit it in the bank,

and you can earn interest

Then you do it for me

Boss Geta, excuse me,

please lend me your 2-feet

Bless me, and help me to find the truth

Boy, go get the car

l'm leaving everything to you

OK, take care

Let's go yeah?

Wait

Let's go pray to the Master God for a sec

What you talking this sh*t to me for?

l'm afraid you won't be able to

explain to Sister Ling

Explain to whom?

l'm a goddamn gangster,

who am l answering to?

He's not my son for God's sake

Get the car; we're going to Monga

He's not here

Oh, earlier he told me

to deposit money for him

What's up with all this money?

All his regular clothes are gone

Why is the postcard l sent you

in Yi Mong's closet?

How could you keep me

in the dark for so many years?

Shut the door, go shut the door

What are you doing?

Yeah, Mosquito, what you doing?

Stay where you are

l want to know something

Tell us

Are you sending us to the boat

or to Hell?

What the f***?

There is no boat, right?

Mosquito, can you put down the knife first?

lf there's a misunderstanding,

we can sort it out

There's no misunderstanding

Listen

Tonight, there is no boat but trap

Thre's no way we're

getting to the Philippines

Monk

Explain, what's going on?

What's the deal?

Why did Mosquito say something like that?

What's the situation?

Mosquito, have you lost your mind?

Say it!

We swore to be brothers,

at the very same place

And now one of you's

putting a knife against my neck

Another one is starting to doubt me

What the f*** is this?

lf you've go the f***ing guts,

tell the truth in front of the Master God

lf l misunderstood you

feel free to give me a stab

But if you are the traitor

who sold out the Temple Front

l want you to pay with your life

Sell out?

How could that be Monk?

Can you please stop this sh*t? OK?

Stop acting like this

l saw him with Wim-Kian

and Grey Wolf, with my own eyes

Your mama

Not my day

Times are changing

The outside world is changing

lf we are as stubborn as the old bosses

we'll be dead sooner or later

The entire Monga will fall into their hands

l met with Grey Wolf and Wim-Kian,

was to save Monga

To save

The Temple Front

So, did you kill my dad?

You're the one who killed my dad?

Kill them

Motherfuckers

Everything l do

is for you

Have you seen Mosquito?

Go get everybody

Should we go take a look?

lf you got on the boat,

then we wouldn't end up like this

Why didn't you just get on the boat?

Why are you making me do this?

Go ahead and kill me

lf you don't kill me today

l will kill you tomorrow

l never understood

what's the point in all this fighting

Now l am even more confused

You're my brother

but l have to kill you

Because this is the street

Because we're gangsters

Whoever gets in the way dies

There's no other choice

lf this were the way of the street

Then l am not a gangster

l am in this for friendship

l am in this for brotherhood

Guns are weapons for the lowly

Monk

You thought l was going to embrace you

So you opened your arms

At that moment

You chose to believe in me, didn't you?

You thought you were in this as a gangster

But like me, you're here for friendship

and brotherhood, too

You thought Geta was a decent man?

He wanted to become the Boss

So he chopped off my dad's arm

Did you know how he treated his brothers?

What's good in the cinema lately?

Dumb Recruit is pretty funny

Really

Mosquito, are you OK?

Dragon, Dragon

Hurry, let's go

Dragon

Look, something happened

Go look for some guy called Mosquito

Where's my ear?

Some say

Joining the gang is like getting a bad lot

You end up either living in exile

Or getting brutally murdered on the streets

But that year, me and my brothers

we all believed joining the gang

using violence to gain control

was the way to rule

The only way for survival

Why do the four of you want to recruit me?

Because it takes five fingers

to form a fist
