Remember it next time.

Yes!

Father, let me have $2000.

What, broke again?

I've a reason for wanting the money.

You change women every year.

I've found one for you.

Really?

Tall, slim, pretty and educated.

Not like those dumb clucks.

Where is she?

I'll find her for $2000.

That's blackmail.

Let's have it!

Sir, two workers are here to see you.

I'll see them inside.

You take a rest.

I'll be right back.

This way!

Come in!

This is the boss.

Boss!

You go out first.

Yes!

What is it?

Two workers are missing.

They were called here last night.

Yes!

Chien and Yu work hard.

I sent for them to reward them.

I'm also promoting them.

Do you know they haven't returned?

Yes, I've informed the police.

They'll be found.

You said that with old Wang.

It's been over a month now.

What can I do?

You workers eat, drink, gamble.

You get up to all sorts.

They've got hands and legs.

How can I tell them where to go?

This isn't as simple as it sounds.

You needn't lose your temper.

You're not their next of kin.

Be smart!

You're smart, work hard.

I'll see you rewarded.

I don't understand.

I'll make it clear:

Don't meddle, and I'll make you rich.

What? So something's happened to them?

I didn't say that.

Hand them over!

Otherwise I'll report you!

I don't give a damn.

You've no evidence.

Don't think you can bully us.

Hand over the men today.

No!

I'll charge you for murder!

Brother Hsu.

Ah Chiang!

It's 12:
30, time to sleep.

Hurry and come to bed!

Hurry up!

The lane is deserted.

We'll wait till tomorrow.

Don't cry. Brother Hsu will be okay.

Go to bed.

Brother Hsu isn't back yet.

Something may have happened.

Chao An, you know the pier?

There's a shop there.

Brother Hsu often goes to play chess.

Go and see if he's been there.

All right.

Ah B!

Yes!

Go quietly to the gambling den

and watch for anything suspicious.

All right.

Hurry!

Come on.

I'll go and poke around.

You go to old Ma's place.

Ask him to help.

- All right!

- Hurry!

Chiao Mei, stay inside.

If he returns, come let us know.

Has Brother Hsu been here?

No, not for some time.

Did you see Brother Hsu?

Which Brother Hsu?

The one who was in the fight.

Thanks!

Have Hsu and Chiang returned yet?

No, everyone's waiting.

What do we do?

Ask the manager to call the boss

to see if there's any news.

I've called the boss.

What did he say?

Anything on Brother Hsu.

And what of the other two who disappeared?

He said Hsu and Chiang went to his home

but they left soon afterwards.

As to the other two,

the boss has informed the police.

They'll look into it.

They went to the boss' place.

He should produce them.

Right! Tell him to hand them over.

That's right!

You're being unreasonable.

You gamble all day.

Nobody can tell you what to do.

They may have gone to Bangkok.

No, Brother Hsu doesn't gamble.

He's our leader.

He'd tell us if he were going!

You'll hand him over or else.

What's the use of pressuring me?

How should I know where they went?

We don't care what you say.

Hand them over or we won't work.

Quiet, it's no use shouting.

Start work. We'll talk it over tomorrow.

Hurry up!

If we don't get Brother Hsu back,

we won't work.

We'll strike!

Strike!

What's going on? Start work!

All right, you needn't get violent.

Damn!

You hit him!

Why did you hit him?

What if I did?

Get me 336.

Boss, we've got trouble!

Chao An, help!

Where did they come from?

Stop!

It's all a misunderstanding.

We don't need your help.

If you want to fight, fight me!

Chao An is pretty tough.

Come!

Come on!

What's keeping you?

Get out!

Good work!

Cheng Chao An!

Come to my room with those three.

Why did the manager want Chao An?

Will he start trouble?

If the manager is rough on Chao An,

we'll fight!

Shall we go and have a look?

No!

He won't dare hurt Chao An.

Let's wait here.

We'll take a rest.

What's going on?

Go have a look.

Right!

What does it say?

Cheng Chao An...

is promoted to a foreman!

What about Ah Sheng?

He's demoted to third class!

That's being fair!

Now Chao An is our chief.

He's our brother from home.

Here comes our big brother!

Congratulations!

Marvelous!

Brother.

Come here!

Stop! Disperse!

Split!

Ah Kun, why are you so happy?

Don't you know!

Cheng Chao An is now a foreman.

How did that happen? Tell me.

The manager says he's able and just.

Able and just!

What happened!

We had a fight with foreman Sheng.

He slapped me, and Ah B fought him.

He called over 10 men

to beat us up.

Cheng Chao An suddenly stepped in.

He's quick and skilled,

he floored them all.

The manager promoted him.

Why did you fight a foreman?

He tried to make us work.

He hit me, and the fight started.

Did you refuse to work?

We asked for our four men back

and refused to start work otherwise.

There's no news of Brother Hsu.

All you know is how to make trouble,

you don't really care about Brother Hsu!

Chiao Mei, don't cry.

I'll talk to the manager tomorrow.

If he won't hand them over.

I'll show him no mercy!

Well?

He said he's reported to the police.

If they don't return today,

he'll come to the station with me.

All right.

Let's start work.

Time to eat.

Wait!

Chao An went to the police station

and hasn't been back.

We should wait for him.

Wait awhile!

Sit down!

The boss says he can't make it.

He's having dinner with the police chief.

Any news of Brother Hsu?

Don't worry, the chief is a good friend.

They'll do everything to find him.

We'll be notified once he's found.

Come, let's eat.

Manager!

You're coming!

Come in!

Come in, and sit down!

Let me introduce you.

This is Wu Man.

This is Ting Kuei.

This is Rose.

Our foreman, Cheng Chao An.

Foreman, a toast to you!

Right!

Mr. Cheng, I return your toast!

Good drinker!

You're a good drinker.

Let this dinner make peace for you.

We're all colleagues.

You have a big future, Chao An.

Thank you!

Bottoms up!

Come, let's eat!

That's nothing great.

Still waiting?

Go to bed, don't catch a chill.

Ah Kun, I'm afraid.

What of?

Five who lived here haven't returned.

Could Brother Cheng also...

Don't make wild guesses.

He'll be all right.

I'm worried.

Why are you crying?

I know you like him

but we don't know much about him.

He's young, don't worry about him.

Leaving in such a hurry?

Sorry!

Where could Chao An have gone?

I wonder!

He's coming!

Chao An! You didn't return last night.

Where did you go?

We were worried sick!

- What did the police say?

- Well?

Police? I didn't go!

Didn't go? Why not?

Where did you go?

The manager asked me to dinner.

Dinner?

So you forgot about Brother Hsu?

No.

Don't forget how you got this job.

Listen to me.

You forgot all about it!

Let's start work.

- Come on!

- What's the rush?

One dinner, and your head's all swollen.

Acting high and mighty

just because you know the manager.

Go brownnose him.

I work for my keep.

Sir!

Who is it?

Cheng Chao An.

What is it?

There's no news of Brother Hsu.
