F*** you. She never liked me.

That was a long time ago. People change.

Good to see you, my friend.

About that night...

F***ing kids can't keep

their d*cks in their pants.

That mess got nothing

to do with you and me.

I'm glad you feel that way. Listen.

I was in Hong Kong last week,

made a great new discovery.

Try.

You want in?

I have another batch coming next week.

You got connections. Why you need me?

I had a couple of deals turn bad,

which now limits my ability

to self-distribute.

- What are we talking about?

- Four kilos to start.

You get 10% after sale.

I need 50,000 up front.

In good faith.

Considering the risk,

15% seem more reasonable.

They pick you up from the airport,

get a big dinner, stay at a nice hotel.

The next day, you deliver

the mooncakes, you walk away.

I'm sitting in First Class, right?

You're lucky you're even going, Teddy.

2,500 now, 2,500 after.

Hey, Teddy. Don't f*** this up, okay?

Sonny!

Don't be such a downer.

I'm Agent Bloom with the FBI.

From what I understand,

you're the closest thing there is

to an Asian Gang Unit here in Queens.

There's a lot of sh*t

going down in Flushing,

some of it involving a person

of interest to the Bureau.

Paul Wong?

I've been tracking Paul's gang,

the Green Dragons, for a long time.

Okay, and?

It's the freaking Wild West out there.

And law enforcement,

when it comes to Asian folks,

white guys like you,

you don't give a sh*t.

It's a numbers game. You'll learn that.

You speak Chinese?

Cantonese.

Chinese isn't a language,

it's a family of languages.

Some speak Mandarin,

Shanghainese, Fookinese.

Then there's the non-Chinese languages.

Vietnamese, Korean...

You're not even listening.

I'm listening. Do you know who this is?

She runs a grocery store on 45th.

Would she have any

connection to Foochow Paul?

There's an easy way to find out.

Come on, come on, come on.

That's for me?

Yeah.

I don't know, you know...

They were lit before,

but the wind's all strong.

Go ahead, make a wish.

Taxi!

Hands up!

This way, move, move!

Hands on the wall, now!

F***! God damn it!

We can't just leave him in jail.

I can fix this.

Is this about Teddy or the girl?

Paul, please!

Please, we have to...

Sonny, listen to me.

Look at me! Look at me!

The mooncakes?

This is just the beginning.

I want you to leave it alone.

You f*** with the wrong man!

- We had a deal!

- What deal?

You rotten, rat piece of sh*t!

We had a deal!

F*** you! F*** you! F*** you!

They found heroin in

the f***ing mooncakes.

I get 15, maybe more for this.

The DA want me to talk.

So how is he?

He's in jail, Sonny! What do you think?

What did Paul say?

The Dragons have

nothing to do with this.

What?

It wasn't us.

The White Tigers, they ratted him out.

Paul said all of them,

they're going down.

But we can't be brought

into this. It's done.

Did you know he was

carrying heroin, Sonny?

Did you know that?

How could you? F*** you, Sonny!

Names, addresses, anything you want

to know about the Green Dragons

and how they're smuggling

illegal aliens into this country.

Where'd you get all this stuff?

I've been working this guy

that I told you about.

Flushing police.

No disrespect to the boys in blue,

but if these people have a problem

with the people in Flushing,

that's their problem.

These guys are part of a crew that's

pulling in millions of dollars a year.

Only what they're smuggling are people!

Now, I don't understand why you

don't wanna do anything about this.

All right.

Suppose I wanna know more

about these Flying Dragons...

Green Dragons.

They're called the Green Dragons.

Whatever.

So what else do they do?

Word on the street is they wanna

start bringing in heroin.

Georgie...

You owe me a lot of money, Georgie. Today.

I need it today.

Sorry, man. Business is bad.

Business is bad...

Then why the f*** are you gambling

in my joints and f***ing my whores?

See, I'm willing to work something out,

but my brother here

is one angry motherf***er.

Hey, old man. I got trees for sale.

How many you want?

Look at this motherf***er.

Get those marbles out of your mouth, b*tch.

What the f*** is up your ass?

Get the f*** off me,

you f***ing piece of sh*t!

F*** you!

Put the f***ing knife down!

Okay. Okay.

See, he's a f***ing p*ssy.

- That's it?

- That's all he had, Dai Lo.

I know a place full of cash.

Yeah, a f***ing ATM.

My Uncle Charlie runs a

mahjong place off Broadway.

My mother said he's

sitting on a gold mine.

That's why you're my favorite Dragon.

Wait, are you out of your f***ing mind?

What difference does it make?

A few thousand to him,

that's like a tax or some sh*t.

I don't support what happened.

But out on the streets,

how can the Dragons, or anyone,

prevent this kind of destiny?

I just want the f***ing

a**hole who killed my son.

The Dragons will honor your boy's death.

But we do it our way.

Where's the f***ing money?

Don't f***ing move!

- ATM! Go!

- I need a PIN.

A**hole, what's the number?

Don't you f***ing look at him!

Look down! Look the f*** down!

- Hey, trash the house!

- Let's just go!

- What is the number? Go!

- 8-2-8.

If I find even one dollar,

you are going to pay, old man!

Leave them alone!

Leave her alone!

If you're hiding anything, I'm gonna

hurt you in ways you'll never forget!

This one looks tasty, Dai Lo.

No!

- Talk to me!

- I'm begging you!

- Dai Lo!

- No, leave her alone!

Dai Lo!

Dai Lo, look, I got the money. Let's go.

I told you not to lie to me.

Now I break your heart.

Boys!

It's mahjong time!

- No!

- Let's get some p*ssy!

This is your own f***ing fault!

Hurry up, boys!

Rip her f***ing clothes off!

Hurry up!

She's a f***ing tease!

Right, boys. Chicken Wing, I'm next!

No. No, not my baby!

Please!

I'm begging you!

Leave them out of this!

You missed out on the fun.

You f*** your auntie?

Sh*t, the b*tch was wearing

these granny panties, man!

Sh*t, don't be jealous.

Yeah, there you go.

There's your f***ing tax.

Eat up, you dog.

Hey, hey, hey! You pay. You pay!

- F*** off, old man!

- You want to f*** me?

No money, no problem! You still pay.

You know who my boyfriend is?

Get lost, you b*tch!

You're f***ing dead!

F*** you!

F*** you! Watch it! Watch your back!

F***!

You're gonna let that piece

of sh*t get away with that?

Okay, all right. Stop talking, b*tch!

Sonny! Steven!

Yeah. I specifically

asked for no MSG. Okay?

Look at my mouth.

It's completely swollen. You see it?

- Oh, wow.

- It's all swollen.

Yes, yes.

Yeah, well, that's why I asked.

That's why said, no MSG.

I'll give you another one.

We can pack this.

- Your wife is in line, right?

- I can't even feel my mouth.

What the...

Shut the f*** up!

Come with me or I'll

waste your f***ing ass.

- Easy, man.

- You hear me?

I don't know what is

happening here, but...

Steven?

It's you!

Go wash dishes,

you pot-scrubbing a**holes!

Sh*t!

Let's go! Let's go!

How bad?

He's dead.
