I can't go back to China

and I have no home here.

Luckily, he turned up.

In fact,

I've long been relying on him.

But why does he come and go

doesn't seem to belong to this world.

I can't fall for him.

I can't fall for him.

Do I really look like your mother?

Back then...

I couldn't save her...

But now,

I can save you.

Time that I let Baby go.

Right?

What's going on?

Could this be what he wished for?

Opium addiction can be treated.

Say no to opium!

It'll kill you.

Opium makes you look horrible.

Soon as you quit, you're good as new.

Look, she looked horrible

when she was on opium.

Hideous, look.

Really disgusting.

Who'd like her.

Scary.

But look at her now, stunning.

Say no to opium.

Look, he's so fit because

he doesn't smoke opium.

Say no to opium.

For your health, for your family.

Please say no to opium.

Opium makes you impotent!

Says who?

These leaflets are everywhere.

I've had enough of these people

trying to ruin my business?

What to do now?

I'm hungry. Talk about it later.

Boss!

The river is cold in the fog,

enshrouded in moonlight.

The river after dark where cabarets nearby.

Courtesans perceive not the sorrow

of a perished empire.

Across the river singing

continues into the night.

Inspector, cheers.

What's wrong with me?

What have I done now?

What are you doing?

The Inspector is here.

Let go.

Get back.

Keep on playing.

What's this?

What's this?

Chiang's Hospital.

Chiang's getting on our nerves.

He has to be warned.

What the hell's he talking about?

He's telling you to set fire to Chiang's office.

He's telling you to set fire to Chiang's office.

I can't do that.

I'm Taiwanese.

I don't take threats.

I'm not afraid of death.

Setting fire to fellow Taiwanese's house?

I can't do that!

You can't threaten me.

You can't threaten me.

What's that?

What's that?

What?

OK, that's different.

Only one way to test it.

Real gold.

Take it.

What was he saying?

Take it with you.

Take it with me? I got it.

Greedy.

Excuse me.

What are you staring at?

Manners.

Never stop, no matter what.

I'm going to be a millionaire.

Where to hide it?

Somewhere secret...

Here.

Is that why you're here?

Money?

Are you out of your mind?

When you're rich

everyone loves you.

When you're poor

everyone treats you like sh*t.

I'm done with being poor.

Money talks

When you're rich

you can get away with murder.

What's wrong with money?

I can share it with you.

Give us the gold.

You can't do that.

Let go.

The gold bar has sworn to be mine forever.

It was never yours!

What?

Burn down the opium house?

Where would Ginger go then?

Opium?

You can't go back there.

Opium will kill you.

It'll turn you into a hag.

If you really care about Ms Ginger

I love her, I'm crazy about her.

Is it my hands or the light that's shaking?

Why's this happening?

Am I really doing this?

Give this all to Dr. Chiang.

Just tell him

it's from an anonymous donor.

Don't let him know who It's from.

Only if he insists,

you can tell him where it's from.

(Japanese)

The opium house is burned down

and we found this.

A coin with Chiang's portrait on it?

Apparently he's going to

overthrow the Japanese reign

and declare independence

Now we've got him.

Am I right?

Yes!

Am I right?

Yes!

Yes!

- Am I right?

How dare you set fire to the opium house?

Don't be mad.

What about I try again?

Set fire to something again?

Half price this time.

Shut it, Pig.

Inspector.

Inspector.

Mr. Kuroaki.

I strongly suggest that you leave now.

You won't like it if things got out

and ruin your reputation.

SHUT up!

You think I don't know

about you secretly sponsoring Chiang?

Money doesn't make you Japanese.

You're all second-class islanders.

Take that back!

I'm a first-class Taiwanese.

Am I shot?

I'm shot.

No.

Inspector,

why?!

Ms Ginger is shot.

Ms Ginger!

Ms Ginger!

Go arrest Chiang.

Yes, sir.

And

tell all hospitals,

no treatment for gunshot wounds.

Yes, sir.

Let's get out of here.

Help!

We must take her to the hospital.

Why did they open fire?

You.

Nothing to do with me.

Nothing to do with me.

Get a doctor!

Hospitals won't take her.

Let's take her back to the future.

That's right.

Careful.

Careful.

Dad.

Dad!

Ginger,

hang in there.

I love you so much,

I've learned everything you taught me.

She sells seashells.

Seashells she sells.

She sells seashells.

Seashells she sells.

Please don't die.

I've made a wish.

I want to marry a super model.

You haven't said yes, you can't die.

You've learned it.

She sells seashells.

Say that again.

Seashells she sells.

She sells seashells.

Seashells she sells.

Please don't die.

Are you pushing or not?

Stop Seashelling!

Your grandpa,

used to say

Spring tea

goes for aroma.

Winter tea

goes for flavour.

To grow good tea,

you need hard working tea farmers.

Make sure they're looked after.

Dad.

Dad,

Don't talk now.

The doctor will be here soon.

Where are you from?

I'm from TTT.

The Lin family of TTT.

Professor P, you take care of Ms Ginger.

Aren't you coming with us?

We can't both disappear.

I'm responsible for all this mess,

I have to deal with it.

That's right, go sort it out.

Just be careful.

Quick.

Ginger, make a wish.

-3, 2, 1.
