In Hong Kong, two kinds of people are under the most pressure:
Men and the poor
Unfortunately, I fall under both categories
My name is Sit Ho Ching. My father gave me that name
It means "be upright and honorable"
That's why even after seven years in this job...
I still had the lowest rank and lowest salary in the company
My daily responsibility was changing, 0.87 bottle of water
My goodness!
What the hell are you doing?!
Nothing
- Pervert! - And act as scapegoat 2.2 times
My only source of pride...
was having a girlfriend that would turn heads everywhere
Sometimes, I felt that's all there was for the rest of my life
Ching, how long have you worked here?
Seven years
And I wish to serve the company
for seven more seven years
I'm grateful for the opportunity, boss
Still a lowly assistant after seven years?!
Ching, surely you can answer this question
How many cases of plastic pellets do we order each month?
Thirty cases
Then why did you order three thousand cases?
Sir, that's your son's signature
That's your chop on it!
- Dad, he's framing me! - Stop it!
I'm getting old
He'll be taking over sooner or later
I'm letting him make the call on this matter
Ching...
You've caused a huge loss for the company
You should pack up and leave
But, boss...
His decision is my decision
Considering that you've served me for so long...
you won't need to pay for the loss
Just pack up and get out of here
Damn you, old man!
For seven years...
I never complained about not getting a raise!
Now I have to take the fall for this?!
I'm going to rip you a new one today!
I'm telling you, you old geezer...
This company will crash and burn without me!
I don't want your severance money!
Spend it on plastic pellets
...for your mom and your wife!
If I had the balls to do that, I'd be rich already
The passion in my heart...
has long been extinguished by reality
My name can now be broken down into:
Sit as in "sit down and shut up"
Ho as in "horrible career"
and Ching as in "Ching is a loser"
I really needed someone to comfort me
So, I went to see my girlfriend Elna Cheung...
even though she didn't answer her phone.
She may work in the financial district...
but her personality isn't like a typical Hong Kong girl
Elna
I can't believe that this would happen to me
I realized that I had the wrong perception of a Hong Kong girl
I thought Elna was immune from that
But no matter where you are...
how old you are, or what class you're in...
once vanity gets to you...
you'll turn into a materialistic Hong Kong girl
Like terminal illness, there's no return once you have it
Hey, Joy
- Hey, Ching - What's going on?
I just drove your brother home
You just got out of jail
Do you want to go back in already?!
It's gold speculation...
not murder! What are you on about?!
Gold speculation is a scam!
I've told you, you can't take what doesn't belong to you!
What's going on, mom?
Talk to your brother
What are you up to, Yong?
Shut your mouth. It's none of your business
I thought you'd be a new man...
after three years in jail
But you're still hanging out with lowlifes
You think you're all that just because you have that car?
It's bought with dirty money!
I must've been an eyesore to you since I was born
I'm leaving. You don't have to see me anymore!
Go ahead!
For crying out loud...
Lei!
Wait
Eat by yourself
In one night, I lost seven things:
My job, my girlfriend, my sanity, my happiness...
my success, my hope, and my sleep
I didn't want to tell dad...
because I was afraid he'd be disappointed in me
My little brother has the right to hate me
Three years ago, he robbed a store with his friends...
and I called the cops on him
It was for his own good
If dad had found out, dad would've killed him
Dad's had a tough life
Soon after Yong finished elementary school...
He got in an accident during a case and became crippled
He got forced into early retirement
He was relying on his retirement money to survive...
but he lost half of it when our home dropped in value...
and lost the other half to bad investments
When his sons became old enough to work...
he thought he could finally relax
But one became a crook, and the other became a loser
Yong didn't listen to dad and screwed up
I listened to my father, but I screwed up, too
What the hell are we supposed to do?
Morning, dad
Don't mention Yong again. I'll just pretend he doesn't exist
No one's mentioned him
If Yong is half as good as Ching is, I'd be happy
Don't ever mention Yong to me again
You're the one talking about him
That ungrateful brat! He's never listened to me
No one told him that both his sons are losers
Acting like the idiot that I am...
I pretended to go to work
I told you not to be lazy and go farther!
Who is stupid enough to sit in the park next to his home?!
Don't look, dad!
Go away!
You've got the wrong guy!
Don't come over!
It's really not me!
Dad
No!
I'm so screwed. It's all over.
I'm dead
I'll get my ass kicked
It's really not me!
- Honey, don't leave! - Let go!
Please give me a chance!
I'm not falling for it again
It's my fault. Punish me!
Do you think I don't have the guts?!
- Do you think that I won't hit you?! - Miss!
You think I won't feel guilty?!
You shouldn't do this in public
What do you know?
That's assault
The police can arrest you
I deserve it, officer
I'm taking it willingly
I'm not a cop
I'm just a righteous civilian
Get out of here, civilian!
- This has nothing to do with you! - You'll never change!
Honey!
Stop arguing.
- The cops are on their way - Shut up!
Show's over
Get out of here. Show's over
Ching
Sorry. I didn't mean to bring trouble to your family
It's not your fault
Yong?
- You invited him? - Let's play
Give me the ball. Let's play!
Wai! It's must have been you
What?
I invited him. So what?
We can't cancel because you're feuding.
Go home if you don't want to play!
We've been friends so long...
how would I not know what they're thinking?
When we were kids, all of our feuds were solved after a game
We'd go back to drinking sodas like old friends
I know they did it for me
We're getting old. Always out of breath
You seem to be doing well at your bank
When I joined the bank...
you accused me of scamming old folks with investment funds.
Now you want in?
What can I do? I'm getting desperate
Starting salary for university graduates...
is only ten grand a month.
You're screwed if you don't have a university degree
Have you ever thought about joining your brother's field?
Hell no. That's crazy
I know you're cautious
but you can't just sit around
I've paid off two flats already
You're still living with your parents
Sometimes I don't blame Elna...
You jerk...
don't talk about Elna like that
I'm telling the truth
I won some money from the Chelsea game last night
I don't want my wife to know. Let me use your bank account
You can transfer the money to me later
Thanks
For what? I'm borrowing your account
I should be thanking you
Always acting like a fool
ls that how you play football?
You didn't have to push him!
- Screw you! - Are you here to play football or to fight?!
Are you here to play football or to fight?!
There's bound to be physical contact in football
ls his ass still hurting from prison?!
Is that why he can't play?!
Fuck you!
Why stoop to his level?
Are you OK?
Don't pretend to be a good fighter if you can't fight
Things are complicated after we grow up
A football game
won't solve everything anymore
Maybe Wai was right
I can't just escape from the problems
between Elna and I
This is where Elna and I had our first date
Looking at the students at the next table...
is liking looking at the way we used to be
Explain yourself
Where have you been the last few days?
Is that a new bag? Did it cost ten grand?
I asked about where you've been
Why are you asking about my bag?
Mr. Porsche must've given you that bag.
What Mr. Porsche?
Stop lying.
I've already thought a hundred excuses you can use
Just use one, and I would've forgiven you
But you had to bring that bag. ls this a silent protest?
I don't know what you're talking about. If you...
I saw you kiss a guy in a Porsche.
I think you made a mistake
Yes, I did make a mistake
The mistake of thinking you're different from other girls
But you're just the same
You're just a vain Hong Kong girl
lam a Hong Kong girl
lam vain
In every job I've ever had...
I had a higher salary than you
I never minded taking care of you
Every time we go out...
we have to eat fast food
I don't mind leeching your family for food near the end of each month
But when I wanted a nice meal at special occasions...
you took me to a fast food restaurant
I'm thirty years old
My friends are getting married and having kids
Have you ever talked to me about your future...
or your plans?
Have you thought about buying a home?
Never.
But I have never complained once
You wouldn't say all this if you really didn't mind
Now that you've met a rich man...
you're complaining about me being poor?
You get to sit in a Porsche for a kiss
I don't have to ask about the bag
You must've gotten it for a night with him
Forget it. Let's break up
Let's break up, then. No surprise there
I bought this bag
with my own money
I feel like I'm your property
All I do is accomodate you. I don't have any free will
I bought this bag
to remind myself that I still do
I didn't know if I ran out to get her back...
or because I didn't want to lose
I also didn't know whether I would apologize...
or call her a bitch if I had caught up to her...
because I couldn't catch up to her in the end
You son of a...
Sir, are you OK?
- Ching? Are you OK? - You jerk
Were you trying to kill me?
That's crazy
Your hand is bleeding. Are you alright?
You'd better come to my office and get that treated
Your office? Forget it
Don't worry. Yong went to see a client
He's not in the office. Let's go
Mr. Chiu.
(Mr. Chau, can you explain...)
(what London Gold is?)
(Many people has asked me that question)
Yoyo
(You may not know that there are two gold exchanges)
That's Tak
(The one that people are familiar with is the gold market)
(The other one is an off-market exchange, called London Gold)
My father and him were pals when I was young
But I never saw him again after dad's accident
Maybe he's the reason why dad hates gold speculation so much
Dad always say that financial firms are illegal casinos
There's smoke everywhere, and they smell rancid
But this looks like the office of a multi-national corporation
The employees just look a little different
Their clothes and looks remind me of Japanese porn...
especially the ones about the horny businesswomen
Pick up that energy today!
Take him to my office and treat his wound
I have something to take care of
Did I hurt you?
No...
I'm sorry
Ching
I wonder...
if you're interested in trading gold?
Don't bother selling to him
If he's going to sign, he'll sign with Yong
He's Yong's older brother
Oh. If I'd known, I wouldn't have tried to sell to you
Why didn't you tell me?
The opening bell has rung. Don't you have money to make?
That's right
Excuse me, Ching
I'd better get to work
She has ambition and a hell of a figure
She's going to be rich
Come and sit down
Wai said that you're looking for work
Are you interested in working here?
I have ambition, but no figure
What do I know about gold speculation?
You don't have to know it. Just be a smooth talker
Look at Yoyo.
She didn't even graduate secondary school
Do you know how much
she made in commission last month?
45000
$45,000?!
She's not the only one
Look at those people out there
Do you think they're well-educated?
Everyday, they just make a few phone calls...
and socialize with the investors
They can easily make twenty, thirty grand a month
There's no way you'll do worse than them, right?
Forget it.
Dad will kill me if he finds out
Come on. You're not his property
You can't always accomodate them
You're an adult.
You have to be independent
It's OK. Take your time and think about it
We're always hiring here
Ching
Still up?
Something's wrong with my phone
I pressed something and changed the text
Long day at work?
Yeah
One
Elna hasn't been here for a while. ls she busy?
Yeah
Two
You're quiet today. ls something wrong at work?
No
Three
Not everything can go smoothly in the real world
Don't take it to heart
Remember what I've taught you?
Don't take what doesn't belong to you...
and do your best at what you're supposed to do.
That's right
Then everything will go smoothly
Here you go
That was easy.
You just had to press a few buttons
Don't stay up too late.
You have work tomorrow
OK
Good night
I told four lies while fixing the phone
I finally understood what it means to not have my own life
Looking at myself,
I realized...
that I deserved to be looked down on by Elna
So, I made a decision
Welcome to the company
Ching, we deal in London Gold here
You don't need a broker's license...
so don't worry about the regulators
But you must be careful about one thing
The people who come here...
they're either suckers trying to make a quick buck...
or they're here to reel in suckers
There are no good guys here. Do you understand?
Our boss Chau Sheung Tak
has powerful backers
He's rarely in the office...
so everything is left to the teams
Each team has a leader.
They're the ones with offices
I'm one of them
The teams will do anything to beat out each other...
so you have to be careful.
There's one leader
you have to be wary of
His name is German
Commission is everything to him
He'll quickly clean out accounts
to maximize commission
Don't follow in his footsteps. ls that clear?
Joy
Speak of the devil
Can I help you, German?
You've grown taller
Another new hire? That's amazing
Hi,
my name is Ching.
I'm Joy's childhood friend
You keep hiring your own friends...
are you trying to create an alliance?
You.
Join my team
I brought Ching in. He should be in my team
You know that when the boss isn't here...
I call the shots, right?
You're joining my team
Talk to the boss if you have a problem with that
Why would I?
Work hard in German's team, alright?
I'll talk to the boss when he comes back
You're Joy's buddy, right?
Yeah
I'll take good care of you
No. 235,
account 6111
Ten lots of 1270
Hello, what number?
You don't even have an account. What are you betting with?
Your fingers?
A retard is smarter than you
Get on the phone if you don't have a client,
idiot!
Ching.
You're working here?
Yeah. In German's team
Oh, you should be careful
By the way, I hope that...
you weren't offended by what happened the other day.
I really wasn't offended
You're such a flirt!
I'm going to work. Good luck!
What are you doing here?
I'm doing whatever you're doing
Cowards can't work here
This isn't the right job for you. Do you understand?
Let's see who is better at this, then
If dad finds out you're working here...
how do you think he'll react?
Hey.
In the time I took to take a dump...
you still haven't made a single phone call?
Do I have to hold the phone to your ear and dial for you?
No. There's no need for that
I'm dialing already
Hello, Mr. Chan
This is Winson Financial
Are you interested in investing in London Gold?
My mother is doing just fine, thank you
Hello, Mr. Luk
This is Winson Financial
OK
I'm sorry, my condolences
Hello, son...
ls your mother there?
Son, you shouldn't curse at people.
Hello, Miss Ho
Are you interested in London Gold?
I'm telling you now...
One day...
I won't be the asshole who has to beg other assholes
I'll become the asshole that assholes beg to
Do you understand what I mean?
I can't refer my own clients to you
Try this
My bank is a legitimate business
We don't deal with people and money...
from suspicious backgrounds
There's a Chairman Li who wants to invest...
but my bank rejected him
Why don't you go to Shenzhen and try your luck with him?
I've never been to the Mainland
I've only seen Mainlanders in the shopping malls
That's why my impression of the Mainland is that...
they must lack gold shops, IV, milk powder...
Yakult drinks and medicinal oil
My guess is that...
everyone there sells rolling luggages
My assumptions were wrong
The Mainland has everything...
and all kinds of people
Some of those people are really friendly
You can tell by the way they greet me
Come here, handsome
The only thing I found strange was that...
Chairman Li's corporation was located in an alleyway
Excuse me...
Who are you looking for?
I'm looking for your boss
Sit Ho Ching?
Yes
Oh, the God of Fortune is here!
The God of Fortune is here, indeed!
There's something unique about an educated man!
I can see there's something unique about you!
Excuse me. Please come in
Come in
Sit down
You are...?
Wait
You seem like an educated man
I respect educated men
A man's wardrobe says everything
Are you Chairman Li?
Cut the formalities.
Just call me Jacky!
Jacky!
- Nice to meet you! - You're Welcome!
- Please sit! - Nice to meet you!
So, you have some investment plans for me?
That's right
Winson Financials...
Ching
You can speak Cantonese
I understand it
Oh, you understand Cantonese!
That's right. I'm from Hong Kong
But you speak Mandarin
A Hong Kong identity card holder...
can't speak Mandarin?
No, of course not!
That's great!
You're an educated man, indeed!
We at Winson Financials...
deal in London Gold
In Hong Kong, our company is...
Don't worry. Continue
Our company is the largest of our kind in Hong Kong
Let's look at how much you want to invest
If you're OK with it, then sign here...
and I become your investment broker
We have several plans. This one...
requires a lump sum payment
But we charge a lower commission for it
Don't worry. Continue
Jacky...
we only accept checks
What do I do?
I only have cash
So, I can't invest?
Not necessarily
ls this not enough?
- I have more -It's OK!
OK
I'll think of a way for you
No problem?
No problem!
Such a capable educated man!
Fabulous
I've always admired educated men
They are dedicated to knowledge
Come on
Take a drink
I'll chug your sister
No
what I mean is...
I'll chug, and you sip
Oh, I sip!
German.
I need your signature
How did you sell this deal?
It's just five hundred grand. Piece of cake!
Think you're hot shit?
Thanks
Everyone. As a rookie...
who just closed a five hundred grand deal
I should buy everyone afternoon tea
Take the orders
Oh, it's nothing!
What do you want to drink?
No, thanks. You should save up...
for your escape when you lose the money
Why are you all standing around?
Mr. Chau
Do you want afternoon tea, boss?
The rookie closed a deal.
He's buying
How much did he close?
It's only five hundred grand
I have that much in my wallet
Afternoon tea is on me
You're not in the position to show off
You don't have the clout to pay for meals
Get to work!
Excuse me
This is for you
- How nice! What is it'? -It's for your birthday!
I know you'd love it
ls it him?
Is it him?!
- Are you crazy?! - Fight me!
Are you OK? What the hell are you doing?!
Did you think he's Mr. Porsche?
Check your facts before you go crazy!
Do your fact checking!
I'm gay! Anyone can tell!
Are you crazy?!
If you'd told me who Mr. Porsche is
I wouldn't have done that
Mr. Porsche is none of your business!
We've broken up
Even if I get into a Ferrari or Lamborghini...
it's still none of your business!
Of course it isn't!
You'll go with any guy with a car!
I'm really disappointed in you
Hey
The feeling's mutual
I'm really disappointed in you, too
This is my new girlfriend
She's prettier than you, taller than you...
and she has longer legs than you
Most importantly,
she doesn't look down on me for being poor
Unlike you, she's not greedy
I'd guessed that you'd be here today
But I didn't expect that you'd say that to me
Mr. Sit, I actually quite like money
I'm actually meeting a client about opening an account
I'll pay you. Keep me company
Mr. Sit
I'm selling gold, not my body
If you have two hundred grand to open an account...
I can chat with you for a little bit
Unfortunately, you don't
I'm sorry. I...
I'm not the woman you should be saying sorry to tonight
Why did she say she'd guessed you'd come?
What's the occasion?
Her birthday
Thanks to you...
I think she just had
the most unforgettable birthday of her life
Suddenly...
I felt a rush of anger inside me
that I needed to vent out
So I went to the world's biggest casino
I returned to the office for opening bell in New York
No. 128. Account no. 747
Ten lots of 1270.Ten lots of 1275
I'm really impressed!
You cleared out a five hundred grand account in a day
That's a company record!
Give an applause to Ching, everyone!
German.
You're my team leader
Can you talk to my client for me?
Team leader, my ass!
You're taking the fall for this one
Sit down! Enjoying the show?
Hello? Chairman Li?
Call me Jacky!
How much have you made for me?
Well...I want to talk to you about your account
Did something go wrong?
Just a small accident
Accident? How much did you lose?
All of it
It's all gone?!
Allow me to explain
Due to a slew of external circumstances...
- So... - I only have one question
If you give you another five hundred grand...
how long would it take to make me a profit?
One month
OK. Come up to GuangZhou tomorrow
I'll write you a check
Are you sure, Chairman Li?
It's the lever theory, right?
If I can lose all that in one night...
I can make that much in one night, too
This deal is so much fun!
Of course I want to continue!
Thank you, Chairman...
I mean, thank you, Jacky!
I promise you...
I will make your money back in a month
I'll go pick up the check tomorrow
Thank you so much!
Jacky.
Are you making dinner?
- Ching! - Long time no see
Come in!
- What's going on, Jacky? - Tell me.
How will you pay me back?
Jacky, take it...
Don't call me Jacky
Friends who help me make money call me Jacky
People who cost me money...
usually call me "Umm umm umm"
What do you mean?
Umm! Umm! Umm!
I told you. See?
Tell me...How will you pay me back?
Answer me!
Jacky,
the contract says...
investments can result in loss
Speak to me in Mandarin!
How will you pay me back?!
I thought you're an educated man
Which teacher taught you to scam people?
I'll kill him right now!
I really don't have any money!
I don't have it!
You may not have money, but your parents do
They don't have money, either
They really don't
Take out your cell phone
You can have it.
Hey. What are you doing?
No!
Call for the money...
or I'll chop off your hand
I'll make the call
- There's no answer - Are you fucking with me?!
No!
Did you intentionally call someone who won't answer?!
That's my brother's number!
If my father finds out about my job...
he'll let you kill me instead
Call this number
This one?
She won't answer
Call!
OK! I'll call!
Hello, Elna?
Don't hang up! It's an emergency!
What do you want?
I owe money to some people. Can you lend me five hundred grand?
Listen to me, Sit Ho Ching
If you're testing
whether I like money more than I like you...
or if this is your childish way to draw out Mr. Porsche...
I'd rather you get killed
Someone is really holding a chopper at me
Hello?
She hung up
It's too bad that you're so bad with people
No! Don't!
What's that smoke? Go check it out
- Fire! - Who set the fire?!
Don't just stand there! Put it out!
Take the back door!
That deal was too good to be true!
It's obviously a scam! You're such a fool!
Well, thank you, then!
Oh, shit!
Cover your head and protect your stomach
It'll be over in five minutes
I'll be dead in five minutes!
Sorry!
Trust me. I'm used to getting this in prison
Sorry!
You're shameless!
Pick up that shoe
Beat them
Stop!
98...
99...
100...
When did you become a chairman, Jacky boy?
It's a printing mistake
I'll have them re-print those
You couldn't make it in Hong Kong...
now you think you can start anew here?
I'm sorry
Tak, I didn't know Ching was your friend.
It's my fault
What should we do about this debt?
Wipe it clean
Consider it a lesson learned
But you've injured them
You're right
I'm sorry
I'll pay you fifty grand each
as medical expenses
I'm sorry
What?
It's not enough?
My father taught me...
never take what doesn't belong to me...
and do my best at what I'm supposed to do
I don't want your money
I just want to do
what I promised to do
You mean...
Give me five hundred grand
I'll make your money back in a month...
including the money from before
Then we're even
Let's do that
I'll get the check
Chins, right?
You handled that well
Thank you, boss.
Sorry for the trouble
I'll not here as your boss
Thank you, Tak
Yong was still in elementary school the last time I saw him
I can't believe you two brothers have grown so quickly...
and I can't believe what a small world this is
I was wondering,
who are these two punks...
and why do they deserve my help?
Then I was told that it was the two of you
Tak
We don't know how to repay you
Compared to what your father did for me...
this is nothing
By the way,
how is your father?
He's doing well
Now that I've helped you,
it's your turn to help me
I haven't seen your father for over ten years
See if you can get him to meet me
Is that a problem?
Not at all! We'll take care of it
Goodbye, Tak
Bye, Tak!
How do we set it up?
You set it up, of course
You asshole...
How does dad feel about me moving back?
Did you think he would say anything?
Your bed was once covered with stuff
When dad found out you're coming back...
he cleaned everything up himself...
and even bought new bed sheets.
How do you think he feels?
We had such a terrible argument that day
He must've been mad as hell
It'll be fine
Just don't mention gold
- Mom - This is great.
The whole family's together again
Put down your things. It's dinner time
Dad
Mmm
Act smart during dinner
Still reading that newspaper? It's dinner time
Let's eat, dad
Let's eat
Let's eat!
Bon appétit, mom and dad
Bon appétit
Have a chicken thigh, dad
I'm getting old.
My cholesterol level's high
I can't eat chicken thigh
Get some veggies
What?
It's so rare to eat as a family
What's the big deal about eating together?
Do you want to call the media? Snap some photos?
Dad, do you remember Tak?
Don't mention that man
At the office, he asked...
Of all the companies in the world, you have to work at Winson
You think a good person would deal in gold speculation?
Leave that company
Can you listen to reason?
How important is that trashy job?
Your family isn't important?
Have you ever thought about your old man?
You think I make you look bad because I've screwed up!
You're the bad one! Don't blame it on me!
I'm the bad seed!
He's always the good one!
That's enough!
I worked hard on this meal...
and you're all spitting on it!
Who's going to eat it?!
Shut up and eat!
You eat the rice!
You drink the soup!
You eat the veggies!
Let me help you, mom
Don't bother.
I gave birth to you...
I already know what you're up to
You want to know about Tak
If you tell me,
I may think about quitting
It was the root of truly deep resentment
Stop!
Go around and surround him!
Tak, this way!
Stop!
Stop,
or I'll shoot!
What now, Tak?
Tak?
Lai,
help me
Do you know what you are saying?
How can you call yourself...
a police officer by doing this?
Once. Just this once
Don't run!
Lei!
Lai! Are you OK?
Call the ambulance!
Turn out the lights and go to sleep
Don't you two have work tomorrow?
You won't be able to wake up in the morning
Good night, dad
Then?
That's it
Dad became crippled
and was forced into early retirement
Tak left the police force soon after that
He's quite something,
doing business with the triads...
and now he has a publicly listed company
Winson
is one of its subsidiaries
Dad never exposed Tak?
He didn't say a thing
Tak was lucky that the perp escaped
Everyone thinks the perp pushed dad down
Dad is right to be angry at Tak, then
Ching
You should quit
What's with the sudden shift in topic?
Why don't"t you quit?
It's not the same.
No other job...
would pay me as well as gold speculation
I have to make up for lost time...
and lost money
You're different
You're handsome, civilized, honest
You have plenty of choices
I chose gold
because I felt I was on the wrong path
Dad always told me to stay upright,
but I got left behind
It's a treacherous world
How can I survive...
without a bit of treachery?
Are you working for the company
or Chairman Li?
You only have one account after all this time...
and you haven't made one order.
What do you want?
I promised Li
that I would make his money back in a month
I have to be cautious with orders
No order means no commission
I'm your superior
I'm obligated to ask you to protect the company's interest
Are you protecting the company's interest or your interest?
I'm frontline staff.
I have to keep my promise to my client
I'm ordering you to work
Make an order!
The boss saw me sign this deal
He says I call the shots on it. How's that?
Don't pull the boss card on me
I don't believe he would refuse to make money
So what?
It's none of your business, ass kisser
I don't need to pull the boss card
I can beat you on my own, dumb ass
What the hell did you say?!
What's going on?
Have you two gone crazy?!
Get in my office!
You two are out of line!
What if the clients see you two fighting in the office?!
I was teaching him how to work
-then... - I want to switch to another team
Switch, my ass!
You think you can do as you please?
This isn't your company!
Boss.
My way of working is very different from German's
He thinks only in profits
I want to make money for myself and for our clients
I don't think we can work together like this
You're twisting my words
Where do you want to switch to?
I know any team I go to
will be trouble for my new leader
So I want to take a risk
You want to be a team leader?
You're not good enough yet
I want to work for you, boss
My father always told me...
never do anything to betray my friends
I'm trying
to protect Jacky's account
I need men anyway
You can come work under me
Thank you, boss
Then...
Then, nothing
Ching,
move to the office next to mine
Within six months,
I went from changing water bottles...
to becoming a successful man with...
an ocean view flat and a six-figure salary
London Gold...
is truly a world of limitless possibilities
I made Jacky's money back in 23 days
I know that was pure luck
There are plenty of people who go on the run...
or get killed after losing all their money
That's why I'm worried for Yong
Come in
You wanted to speak to me?
Your accounts have been quite unstable lately
Be careful.
I'm worried about you
Are you speaking as my boss...
or are you speaking as my older brother?
What's the difference?
If you're my boss, then I'll say...
sorry, there won't be a next time
If you're my brother,
I'll tell you to buzz off
You haven't helped me once after your promotion
You want to play big brother now?
Family expenses for this month, dad
Isn't this a bit much?
I got a bonus at work
Your company gives bonuses?
Yes
Are these dirty money from gold speculation?
Of course not. What are you talking about?
Did Yong tell you to give this to me?
No. It's really from my salary
Don't lie to me
I dealt with a lot of crooks when I was a cop
Exactly. How can I lie to you?
It's from Ching's paycheck
That's a lot
Learn from your brother
I'd be happy if you're half as good as he is
That's right. I'm not as good as your son
There's not one picture of me in this house
What the hell is this family portrait?
You took it while I was in prison
Have you ever thought of me as your son?
You can't go in there
I want to see your boss!
Let me go in there!
It's really an important matter!
Miss!
Miss. I'm their boss.
- You can talk to me - Give me back my money!
Calm down, miss
Calm down
Don't pretend to be nice. Just return my money!
Miss, this account is under the name of Chong Kwok Cheung
Even if it's closed, the money doesn't go to you
That's my husband. He opened it by stealing from me.
- I worked hard to save that money - That's a family matter.
- It has nothing to do with us - I still need to raise my son!
Just send him here. Ask him to come
I can't find him! He's disappeared!
Miss, we have our policies to follow
- Give me my money! - We really can't...
I really want to help you...
Give
Miss!
Call an ambulance
Miss, are you OK?
Mommy
What's your name, son?
Why don't you tell me your name?
His name is Sze Ngai
Mommy!
He's autistic. He can't answer you
Are you alright, Miss Leung?
My blood sugar was low. I haven't eaten in two days
I wanted to contact your family...
but there was no answer at both numbers
My husband's disappeared
My home's phone line got cut because I couldn't paid the bills
Would you like me to contact someone else?
There's no one else
Miss Leung On Yi
Here
Miss Leung
The emergency room rate for two-way permit holders is $990
Please pay over there
- Pay with this - I can't take it
Take it. Buy some food with whatever is left over
You may not have to eat, but your son does.
Take it
And contact me directly about your account from now on
I'll pay you back when the account is closed
Thank you
What's going on?
Where's Sit Ho Yong?
I think he's in the conference room
What the hell are you doing?
Ching,
lend me a hundred grand
I'll earn it back tonight and pay you back tomorrow
What?
What the hell is wrong with you?
You've lost a million on over 600 orders!
That's good.
I've made 160 grand on commission
It's great that you made that much...
but you lost all your clients' money
You'll get killed!
You've done the same thing!
I'm different
You bought everything.
At least I did some thinking
Are you going to lend me the money or not?
What's happened?
Why do you need money so quickly?
I've knocked up my girlfriend
I need to marry her
Wait
Do mom and dad know about this?
I wanted to wait until I have enough money...
so they won't have to worry
Who's the unlucky girl?
Are you OK, Yong?
I saw the mess on your desk...
Yoyo,
Can you go outside, please?
That's my girlfriend...
I want to talk to my brother.
Please go outside
Can you leave, please?!
I'm sorry
What the fuck are you doing?!
I want to know what you're doing!
Did she make you put in those orders?
I want us to have a better life
I took in any client!
Fine.
I'll take care of the accounts
Don't touch them
And don't touch that woman's child
What did you say?
What the hell are you thinking?
You just did whatever the girl told you to do?
Her orders are all bed orders
You know what that means?
It means she got them by going to bed with clients!
Everyone knows she's greedy!
You think she'll be good after you marry her?
She'll be up to her old tricks when you run out of money
She'll cheat on you!
Say that again
- She'll cheat on you! - What did you say?!
She'll cheat on you, dummy!
Elna was right.
You're not a man!
Sorry.
I couldn't stop him
Your terrible son is no longer fucking dealing with gold
Talk to your good fucking son instead!
I may have quit the force for years...
but I still have my sixth sense...
and I still have my detective skills about me
Dad
You don't have to say anything
I'm disappointed in you
I remember that expression
He made it when he got pushed off the bridge by Tak
He made it again when Yong was sent to prison
I'd never thought that he would make it for me
I didn't have to guts to go home that night
I was such a coward that I couldn't face dad
Don't be so stubborn. Come home
Don't worry. I know what to do
How's dad?
He didn't say a word all night
Then we'd better hang up
He'll scream at you if he knows you're talking to me
Where will you stay tonight?
I hear that...
you have to arrive at the park early for a spot
They fill up quite quickly!
Do you take me for a bum?
I'll find an hourly hotel
Those places are so seedy!
If a woman rings your doorbell at night...
don't answer the door!
I know
Don't answer it!
I understand
That wouldn't be so bad
Some writer named Murakami once wrote...
Loneliness and sorrow can be ejaculated
Don't run!
Stop!
You want to be a thief, little brat?!
I'll beat that bread out of you!
Hey! It's not a big deal! How much is it?
I'll pay for him. Here
Don't you ever steal again!
Where's your mother?
Miss Leung?
Sze Ngai!
Mommy!
Where have you been?
You scared me!
Miss Leung
I found him at the 7-11
You can call me On Yi
Did you get hurt while helping Sze Ngai?
No. That was another matter
Mommy. My high pitch hand hurts
Let's go home and put some medicine on that, then
What's the high pitch hand?
I don't know. Sze Ngai made it up
His right hand is high pitch hand,
and his left is low pitch
Ahh!
Sorry, Mr. Sit...
that's Sze Ngai's seat.
He doesn't like others sitting on it
That seat is mine,
and the seat on the right is his father's
He's gone,
but Sze Ngai still doesn't want anyone to sit on it
Can I sit here, then?
Yes, you can
I'm sorry.
That's how his illness is
I have to accomodate him over everything
He gets upset when I move anything
That's OK
It must be tough for you to raise him by yourself
It's my fault
for being with the wrong man
Maybe Mr. Chong will come back someday...
It's better here without him
No one's around to get drunk and beat us...
and no one's around to steal money for gambling...
leaving us with no money for food
I was foolish to think
that he would change every time
Sze Ngai.
Didn't mommy tell you...
not to go downstairs by yourself?
You have to go everywhere with mommy, OK?
Let's get you changed
I remember that day at the park...
when she repeatedly slapped her husband
I'd assumed that there was something wrong with her
Now I know
that the problem lied with her husband
How can we truly know who's pretending...
and who really deserves to be slapped...
from a short video on the internet?
At that moment...
I truly wished for a better life
for On Yi and Sze Ngai
Can you still walk?
Can I help you?
I wanted to fix your doorbell
Come in
Go in, Sze Ngai
You went shopping?
I bought some food. This is for Sze Ngai
We can't take this
It's OK. It's not a big deal
Sze Ngai
This is for you
By the way,
I've taken care of your account
I haven't signed any document...
so this must be your own money
isn't it
I may need money...
but I need to
set a good example for my son
I can't take this money
Please take all this back as well
You don't have to take the check...
but I bought all this for you
If you reject this, that means you reject me as a friend
Look, Sze Ngai loves the book.
Take it
Sze Ngai,
say thanks to Ching
It's time to pay, bitch!
I told you
it's Cheung that owes you the money
He's moved out already.
I have nothing to do with this!
Let him go
- Don't move! - Let him go
He's just a child, man
Let's talk calmly, shall we?
Are you the one paying?
- Let him go! - Trying to scare me?!
I don't have any money.
All I've got is my life
Don't mess around.
Let him go
Give me a timeline
I'll call you when I find Cheung
You promised
If you're lying,
you won't be the one swinging a chopper next time
You're pretty tough
I'm forced to be
I broke that doorbell on purpose...
so they won't come and bother us at night
Then I'll take it down for you later
Don't be scared, Sze Ngai.
Let's go out and play
Come here, Piggie!
Why is he called Piggie
Come here, Piggie!
Stop jumping. Sit down
Sometimes, I don't know what he's thinking
You don't always have to know.
He's in his own world
It's OK as long as he's having fun
Second prize! Congratulations!
I want the pink lamb
You don't care if your son wants it or not?
I want it. Isn't that enough?
Still playing with stuffed animals at your age?
I'm still a twenty-something!
More like a twenty-something mother...
Where's Sze Ngai?
Sze Ngai!
On Yi!
He's playing so well at such a young age
He's not even looking at sheet music
He had only heard that song once...
and he already knows how to play it
Now I know what high pitch hand means
But he's never learned before
He's only seen Li Yundi on TV
Then your son is a musical prodigy
I didn't know we were having dinner with your family
If you'd told me, I would've worn something else
Sorry to keep you waiting
Bon appétit, Mr. and Mrs. Sit
Go ahead.
- Eat up - Go ahead
Yoyo, right?
Are you working in gold as well?
Both Yong and I have quit, Mr. Sit
What do you do now?
I'm resting at home...
for the preg...
You can't eat this.
Bitter gourd's no good, either
And you shouldn't drink tea, OK?
I understand, ma'am
What's going on? Resting for what?
Pregnancy
What?!
Pregnancy
I may not be a good father...
but if she can take care of a lowlife like me...
she'll definitely become a good mother
I want to get married and raise my child
I want to fulfill my responsibilities as a man
Are you done? Can I speak now?
Hey!
Stay out of this!
You know that he has a criminal record, right?
I do
You know that he's unemployed, right?
Why are you asking so much shit for?
I'm working in logistics now!
I'm not talking to you!
Stop it!
I know all that,
but I don't mind
We'll make do with what we have
Even if we have nothing...
we'll save up and skip a few meals
As long as I'm with Yong...
I'm not afraid of anything
He's stubborn, has a short fuse, and no manners whatsoever
There's nothing good about him.
You still want to marry him?
Yes, sir
I don't care about your past
I'm leaving my son to you
Drink that up on her behalf
Drink it
Alright. Let's eat!
This is sour. It's good for your appetite
I'll go make something healthy
Give me a few minutes.
Eat up!
Let's eat!
Mommy...
Get some rest. I should go home
I told you that
I'm a simple woman
I'm happy as long as my son is happy
Thank you
Hey! My mother is talking to you!
Mr. Sit
Are you a junkie...
or are you working as a thief at night?
Ma'am.
I'd like to marry Yoyo as soon as possible...
so I'm driving two shifts a day
I'm so sorry
that I fell asleep
Two shifts a day?
Of all the guys out there,
you found a lowlife
How much of his salary is left after paying rent?
You'll only get scraps
You'll end up spending your own savings!
Listen to me
You can still get rid of the baby
before five months
Think about it
I know a great doctor in Thailand
One dose of herbs, and you'll be rid of it
Mom!
I've already decided to marry him...
and I'm going to have this kid
Don't talk about this anymore, OK?
Let me remind you...
Youth doesn't last, honey
Be careful! I'm carrying two lives!
There's a speeding camera up ahead
Slow down!
Can't you be a little more mature, Yong?
Your temper just cost us $450
Of all the things to inherit, you inherited your mother's bad side
No matter how much you dislike her...
she's still my mother.
Show her some respect
What kind of a mother tells her daughter to get an abortion?
How can I respect her?!
That's how she is. Just let her say whatever she wants to say
What she said is messing up my life!
She wants two hundred grand and a 20-table banquet
How can I afford it?Am I made of gold?
That was your stupid pride talking
You wanted to look good in front of my mother...
so you agreed to everything
Now you want to back out?
What was I supposed to say to her?
"I don't have any money...
but I'm taking your daughter away anyway"?
You always bite off more than you can chew
That's how my mother is
That's how this society is!
That's enough!
Forget it. Let's call off the wedding
Fine!
No more wedding, right?
Stop the car!
I want to get out!
We're on the highway
- This is a highway! - Stop the car!
Worried about Sze Ngai?
Don't worry. It's a nice nursery
What are you doing?
Let's eat here
Aren't we going to the movies?
Do you have a reservation, sir?
Sir?
Here.
I want to sit here
I'm sorry, sir
This table is reserved
Why are you apologizing?
I want to sit here
I'll rent out the whole place.
Can I sit here now?
Sir
I'm sorry
We have a full booking tonight
If you don't have a reservation...
Johnny, right?
If you can't arrange it...
then ask your boss to come see me
Sir, you're being disruptive to our customers...
if you continue to act like this,
I'll call security
What security?
Go ahead. Call them!
- Sit Ho Ching! - Sir
Please stop embarrassing yourself
How am I embarrassing myself?
I'm embarrassing myself by eating here?
I can afford to eat here. What's wrong with that?
You're Sit Ho Ching?
You're just as Elna had described you
I'm sorry, Johnny
Please bring me the check
- No problem - Thank you
My name is Grace. I'm Elna's boss
That car belongs to my husband
So, please stop calling me Mr. Porsche
You're wasting so much time on theatrics...
why don't you spend that time caring about Elna?
Do you remember Yi Shun?
Elna's little brother, the one that lives in England
He has Muscular Dystrophy
and may die at anytime
You didn't know that, did you?
Where were you when Elna needed someone to comfort her?
Where were you when Elna needed help?
When you called Elna to save you...
she went everywhere to scour money for you
Sit Ho Ching
Answer the phone!
When are you going to pick up the phone?
You said you needed money
I've borrowed the money for you
Call me back if you want it
You're an adult.
Couldn't you have given her a call?
Think about it.
Was it Elna that wronged you...
or were you the one that wronged Elna?
In your eyes...
am I just an extra standing by your side?
Let's never meet again
I don't want you to see me
and think about someone else
I caused pain for two women at the same time
But I didn't go after either of them
If I couldn't even forgive myself...
how could I ask them to forgive me?
Hello?
Sit Tin Lai's family?
Please come fill out the registration form
Mom.
Give me dad's wallet
Wallet...
I got it
Where's the patient's I.D. card? Fill this out
...this family portrait...
You took it while I was in prison
Mom, How's dad?
While getting on the ambulance, he told me to tell you...
not to blame yourself.
You didn't cause this
You're both the same.
Tough on the outside, soft on the inside
See how useless I am?
When dad came up to Winson...
I should've apologized to him
I should've apologized to Elna
at the restaurant...
and I should've apologized to On Yi after Elna left
But
I didn't say a thing
He's been feeling unwell lately...
complaining about pain all the time
Both of you moved out.
How could you have known?
Why didn't you look out for dad?
Is blaming others the only thing you know how to do?
Are you Sit Tin Lai's family?
How is he, doctor?
The report's out
We found a tumor in the patient's intestine
He has intestinal cancer. Third stage
I suggest we take him into surgery right away
What is his chance for recovery?
If the operation is successful and he continues chemotherapy...
I would say that his chances are 50%
Would it be better
if we use the most expensive drugs?
Expensive drugs would naturally come
with less side effects...
but good health cannot be bought with money
We'll leave you to discuss this
When I got my platinum card...
I thought I had the money
to buy the whole world
But everything
that happened at the restaurant and the hospital...
reminded me that...
some things cannot be bought with money
Cindy
She's not here.
Didn't you read the news?
How's the boss?
Take care of yourself first
I'm in charge of the company for now
All the accounts under his name have been frozen...
including yours
German
I need your help
I have a sick family member.
I need money
Can you unfreeze my account?
Really
ls that so?
Send my regards to your family
Hey
Don't even think about hitting me. I'm telling you,
I know kung fu
Please help me
you idiot
Do I look like your ancestor?!
Why are you groveling?
He's gone crazy!
You're nuts!
Doctor!
Elna
Your father's woken up.
I'm going to get the doctor
Doctor!
Dad!
What?
Are you disappointed that I didn't die?
No
Dad.
I've typed up my resignation letter
I can't order you around for much longer
Just remember
what I've taught you
Uncle Lai
Don't worry, Uncle Lai. You'll be OK
Don't think that just because I was in a coma...
I didn't hear what you said. I heard everything.
You have to fulfill your promise
Of course
Of course we will
Right, Ching?
Right
Elna
I came here to see Uncle Lai. Not you?
Thank you for putting on that show back there
A sick person needs hope,
not reality
I know all about that
I'm sorry about last time.
I didn't mean it
Too many things have happened recently...
from my family to my company...
-to the two of us... - Ching!
Why are you still like this? You haven't changed one bit!
You should be asking about Yi Shun...
not talk about what's been happening to you
It's always about you
You're not the only person with problems
We all have problems!
I have problems to solve, too!
You only want people to care about your troubles
Have you ever cared about others?
How is Yi Shun, then?
You don't have to ask if you don't want to know
I really do want to know about Yi Shun
His condition has become severe
He can't move his arms and legs!
He can't even go to the bathroom by himself!
The doctor says if this continues...
he won't be able to breathe,
and he'll die!
I've sent in my application for immigration
If they approve it,
I'll move to England to be with him
I won't come back
Are you sure about that?
I am.
Thanks to you
When you weren't around...
I had time to think things through
The world changes too quickly...
but people change even quicker
No matter how long someone's been with you...
or how good your relationship with him was...
nothing can be done
once he's changed
When I was faced with problems...
I was left to deal with it on my own
You said I complained about you being poor...
but have you ever thought about...
what our real problem was?
All the years we've spent together...
you didn't know how to care for me,
how to love me
Ask yourself,
how much effort did you
put into our relationship?
Elna's words
hurt me deeply
Finally,
I could tell her, from the bottom of my heart...
I'm sorry
Elna.
What did to say my father earlier?
Uncle Lai.
You still have to attend our wedding
You have to wake up...
You must wake up
It doesn't matter
All that matters is
that we both know it was just a lie
Elna was right
I've been escaping
from my responsibilities all this time...
as a boyfriend,
as a brother even as a son
At that moment,
I decided to change
It's impossible for Yong to patch things up with Ching this time
It may work this time
I'll put down $100. Yes or no?
How can you bet against them?
That's terrible
I'm putting $100 on yes
You hypocrite. $100 each. I'll take the bet
You'll take it? $200
Whatever you say
Hey!
Kick the ball back!
Where the hell were you aiming at?
At the goal. Couldn't you see?
The goal isn't here.
You almost hit my wife!
How the hell can I see that far?!
You scared my brother's wife!
I had some wisdom prepared...
something like, the ball is round, or whatever
But we couldn't even get our hands on the ball
But that doesn't matter
That ball
really wasn't that close
I know.
He looked like a boxer...
but it turns out he sucked at fighting
Take your wife's hand!
He told you to take my hand!
Yoyo and Yong made up...
and I made up with Yong.
That was enough
Reconciliation means to put away your stubbornness
Some will do it for love...
some will do it for their grandson...
some will do it because they're ill
In the end, you realize that...
you can't stay stubborn forever
I'm the one that's late...
I'm 20 years late
Tak
Lai.
I'm sorry for everything
How long has it been?
Almost 20 years
Then that's how long I've been disappointed for
I've wronged you.
I'm sorry
How long have we known each other?
From the academy until now...
over twenty years
You know that
When two decades of friendship...
turn into two decades of disappointment,
it's buried deep
But that friendship
also taught me to let things go
I've never been angry at you...
for causing my injury
I was disappointed that you didn't turn yourself in
I didn't stay quiet so you could go free...
I stayed quiet to give you a chance to show remorse...
You're not angry at me.
I've always thought...
but you...
I've felt guilty all these years
Boyfriends have the toughest responsibilities...
especially the boyfriends of...
mothers who have been hurt in love before
Piggie!
Please leave.
I've just start regaining my faith in men
I don't want you to ruin it again
I've bought a piano keyboard for Sze Ngai
Here
We shouldn't let our problems affect him
I don't know what our future will be...
but I want to pay for Sze Ngai's piano lessons
His talent shouldn't go wasted
Thank you
I finally got you
You're messing with my wife, right?
What are you doing here?
We're divorced
Why are you here?
I never agreed to a divorce...
you filthy adulterers!
You have strange taste.
You'll even take a woman with a kid?
Are you that famished?
What do you want?
What are you doing?
You need to leave right now...
or I'll call the police
Did you hear me?! Leave!
Two hundred grand
You can have the girl.
I'll take the kid
You hand me the money,
and I'll sign the divorce papers
What do you know about raising a child?
What do you know about being a father?
What the hell do you care?
I just need him to get social security money
A few thousand dollars a month without doing a thing...
it's awesome!
I'm telling you,
I'm not giving you a cent...
and Sze Ngai's not up for discussion
I won't let him follow a scum like you
Come on, man...
you want to fight me over a retard?
He's not a retard!
Back off, bitch!
Son of a bitch...
I'm going to make your lives miserable
You two are going to pay for this
Get out of here, asshole!
Are you OK?
Don't worry.
I won't let him take Sze Ngai
From now on, your problems are my problems
Let me worry about everything
You don't even love me...
why are you so good to us?
When did I ever say I don't love you?
Come on!
Cheers to the Four Constables of Lam Tei!
Cheers!
You still remember the Four Constables...
That night, they were equals
No one talked about their assets
or properties...
they only competed over waist sizes...
and how often they go to the toilet at night
Men are simple creatures.
A few good friends...
may make them much happier
than money and power
Tak.
I've decided to resign
Thank you
Ching...
when was the last time
we drank together?
It's been a while. I don't remember anymore
Since we're all here...
my 15th wedding anniversary is coming up
Be sure to come celebrate with us
Don't be late!
Time passes by so quickly
You guys are impressive
Aren't you bored looking at the same women for decades?
Look at me...
Brazilian, Chinese,
dolls...it's great!
Because his wife is scary!
Yeah, she's tamed him well
It's easy
to deal with women
Do you remember
what you said to a woman...
the first time you went to bed with her?
I probably promised her a new bag or a new dress
Speak for yourself...
I didn't say that
I promised her
a lifetime of happiness
Actually, you can say whatever you want
As long as you keep your promise
then she'll fall head over heels for you
Is that so?!
You can talk the talk,
but can you walk the walk?
Of course not!
The most important thing is to let her know...
that I still remember my promise.
That's enough!
It's enough to remember it?
- That's right! - Do you tell your dolls that every night?
I remember what I told Elna
the first time I slept with her...
then I remembered what I've done over the years
I finally understood
why we broke up
I'm leaving soon, and there's a lot to take care of
Whatever you want to say, say it quickly
Fast food isn't quick enough for you?
Eight years ago,
we came here on Xmas Eve...
after we went to see the light show together
We sat this table
You were wearing a white fur jacket
I'm not sure what you ate...
because I was staring at you all night
I don't know if my memory is correct
Why are you bringing up the past?
Because I finally know what I've done wrong
I thought a girl
who's willing to eat fast food on Xmas Eve...
would mind that I'm poor
It was such a stupid mistake
What you needed from me
wasn't material goods...
you needed a sense of security
If you had realized that earlier,
we wouldn't be like this
But I still believe that you're a good man...
If you're willing to change
You're the good woman
You can turn a boy into a man
I'm not used to
hearing you say such sentimental things
Since you're leaving soon,
shall we take a photo together?
Sure
What's wrong? Did you lose your phone?
I don't know where I'd put it
- I'll call you -Sure
Hello?
Hello? Who is this?
Are you looking for Ching?
You know her?
Hello?
Oh, On Yi.
You have my phone
I'll go pick it up later. Thanks
You're with Elna?
Yes. We're eating dinner
Oh. I'll leave you two to it, then
We can take the photo with my phone
There you are, dad
I wanted to
see this beautiful view once more
Mom, Yong and Yoyo are on their way...
let's wait for them upstairs. OK?
They can accomodate me
and come down here
Where's Elna?
I'll give her a call
We're sorry. The number you have dialed is not in service...
please try again later
Dad.
Can you...
teach me your lesson again?
Back then, you never listened...
now you want to hear it?
OK
Listen well.
I'll only say it again once
Don't take what doesn't belong to you...
do your best at what you're supposed to do
Your name is Sit Ho Ching...
it means
I want you to be
upright and honorable
Be a good,
honest man
Don't take...
Your name...
is Sit Ho Ching...
Dad has taught that lesson many times
His voice may have been at its weakest
but many years later...
I can still hear
that final lesson whenever I think of him
Dad never had much money,
but he wasn't poor
At least he had a loving family...
a few great friends...
bumbling children
who barely fulfilled their duties as sons...
and a lot of memories - both good and bad
In the end,
how much is money truly worth?
If you ask
whether I want money or the ability to sprint...
I would choose the ability to sprint
Money can't keep the woman I love...
but the ability to sprint can
Leung On Yi!
Excuse me
Leung On Yi!
Sir, you can't do that!
Leung On Yi!
Mommy!
It's Piggie!
I don't know if you're here...
or if you can hear me...
but I want to tell you...
I know I used to be
selfish and irresponsible...
but ever since I met you...
I've wanted to become a responsible...
and caring person
I don't know if I'll succeed...
but I hope that
in 10 years
or 20 years or 30 years...
you and Sze Ngai will tell me...
that I'm a good father...
and a good husband
Can you give me a chance?
Is he talking to you?
Please get off the bus
If you don't, you won't be able to sleep tonight...
tomorrow night,
and every night after that
Trust me.
I've been through this
If you keep sitting there,
you'll regret it for life
Why put yourself through that?
I thought you and Elna...
Of course,
this story ends with a barbecue
This wedding wouldn't have been possible without Elna
I really want her to be here
But I haven't heard from her
since she moved to England
She ignored my phone calls, e-mails and Facebook messages
I couldn't even send her an invitation
In the end, I wrote our story...
on a message board that she often read
I hoped that she would see it
and accept my invitation
It started with a few sentences...
then it became a novel
I wrote about her, my father,
Yong, Yoyo, On Yi...
and finally myself
Act like when I left prison.
Don't look back...
it brings bad luck
I called the story "Golden Brother"
It's a message
to my fellow poor message board brothers
Your wealth
isn't gauged by the money in your pocket...
but by what you have in your heart
You look beautiful, honey
Ching!
