"Look at your bosses:" "...drink all day, the women, a great life." "Eventually, they will suck Monga dry." "It's such a wonderful land, what a waste." "Look at our Big Boss." "He's got brains." "He doesn't sleep, he spends his days thinking." "Thinking about how to develop the organization." "Now, as soon as he gives an order, it'll be like cell division." "We'll no longer be just a gang of hundreds." "But tens of thousands, I am telling you." "Guns will be brought in by sea in boxes." "Halls will be established one after another." "And you." "Hanging out on your block." "Selling toilet paper and selected tea, collecting fees." "Getting turned in every now and then." "Times are changing, bro." "Do it right." "We set up a hall in Monga, and you'll be the Boss." "Each of us needs our own stage." "The world is going to be ours." "It's gonna be difficult if there's only one hall for the entire Monga." "The two major powers in Monga." "Are our Back Alley and the Temple Front." "We've got our own blocks on each side." "You won't have any problem with me." "But if you wanna make this work." "You'll have to include the Temple Front." "Otherwise you'll have to deal with all the blocks behind them." "It won't be easy." "It's gonna be a tough fight." "You got someone from the Temple Front?" "I still remember four years ago, right here." "You were against over a dozen from Da Dao Cheng." "I saw them beating the life out of you." "Still you wouldn't give in." "I owe you for that." "No need to thank me." "It was because you've got balls." "If you weren't tough enough." "Even if you got beaten to death in front of me 100 times." "I wouldn't give a shit." "Really, I owe you a lot." "And that thing about the Dog Boy." "I am fully aware." "Dragon messed with somebody's girlfriend four years ago." "But you took on the heat." "Can we spare Dragon?" "What?" "You want to protect your brother?" "Look." "I am afraid that we are losing the entire Monga." "...you know that?" "It's like the last years of Ching Dynasty." "All the foreign powers have surrounded China with." "...their firearms, canons and ships." "That old empress Tz'u-Hsi still thought she could bring them all down." "That's exactly what's happening in Monga." "Our Boss Masa." "...puts on fancy clothes and fools around everyday." "And your Boss Geta is a stubbern old fool." "The future is knocking on the door, and Monga is still asleep." "They all call me mad dog." "They are right." "But I had been thinking a lot during the 3 years in prison." "My boss turned me in during the Big Crackdown." "That Dragon, you took on the beating." "...every time he screwed up." "That's the kind of fate for people like us." "Now the Mainlanders are asking nicely to do business with us." "The proud old folks refused right on the spot." "When the time comes, who's put on the frontline?" "No one else but you and me." "It's guns in their hands." "You really think you can fight them with a stabbing tube?" "Don't feel ashamed to work with the outsiders." "You really think I'll let." "...the Mainlanders take over Monga?" "Look who's thinking for Monga." "Shoot, talking is useless." "Holy crap, all that wind, and now the rain." "Is the typhoon really coming?" "Boss Masa have a good night, come again." "And you, don't run around, be good." "Ah, you came for Auntie Ai as well?" "Boss." "Boss Geta is here with all of his Temple Front." "...brothers, to pay their respect." "Please bless them, so that they are safe, healthy and prosperous." "Homeboy, rest in peace." "I swear right here, on my name." "That I will find the murderer." "To do your vengeance." "My condolence, take care." "Boss Geta." "I have mobilized everyone in the Back Alley." "I've also notified Taoyuan, Chungli and the South." "Boss, if you can help us find him." "I'd very much appreciate." "We have to get A-Chung." "I want him kneel in front of our boss, and pay back with his life." "I'll help you find A-Chung." "But we don't need to kill him." "I'll find out if he's the murderer." "Who knows?" "Maybe it's your own man." "who did this, then frame him." "Boss, how can you say this?" "Are you saying that." "...our men killed our own boss?" "Fuck, I'd say someone from you Temple Front killed him." "Don't move!" "God is watching, we all know what we did." "Boss, got news from the Back Alley." "They said A-Chung is spotted nearby the Watergate." "Now they and the Da Dao Cheng people are all out to get him." "Boss." "I heard A-Chung is around Watergate." "Everyone, go get him now" "OK let's go." "You go with them." "Boss, what about you?" "There's nothing to worry about, I'm on my own turf." "Go, hurry." "Boss, you're closing." "Yeah." "Everybody's out to get A-Chung, not much business around here." "All of the Temple Front went?" "Your Boss Geta, I think he stayed." "Then please make two for me." "Please." "OK" "Sorry, come early tomorrow" "We came all the way from the South, can we just do a brief prayer?" "Oh." "Boss, boss." "Anybody?" "Anybody here?" "Call the ambulance." "Hurry call the ambulance." "Boss." "Somebody?" "Call the ambulance." "Anybody here?" "Boss Dragon is gone." "I told Dragon not to come today." "If Dragon shows up today, he will die." "Those bastards want our Dragon dead." "They want us dead." "...they want us at the Temple Front all dead." "Can't you see what's happening?" "I'll go find him." "You stay right here." "I don't want him back, I don't want him here." "Don't you go get him." "...our Geta will understand." "Madam, madam, calm down, have a seat." "I don't want him back." "...don't bring him back." "Who is it?" "It's me, me." "It's OK now" "It's me." "It's time, can't wait anymore." "Who will hold the memorial tablet then?" "I'll do it." "Geta or Masa, take your pick." "Geta." "Goddamn sons of bitches." "How dare you, getting all despicable in front of Master God." "You two go from the back door." "Go now" "If you don't kill them today." "One day they'll kill you." "I want them to pay with their blood." "Why are you pushing me?" "Motherfucker." "You think we're their match?" "How on Earth do you think we can do anything about it?" "Boss Geta is dead, Boss Masa is dead too." "Aren't you humans?" "Don't you have any feelings?" "Do you even have feelings?" "Don't you be stirring things up." "How do we revenge without knowing who did it?" "It's Wim-Kian, must be him." "Everybody knows it, but no one dares to touch him." "Motherfucker." "No!" "Stop it!" "Monk." "Stop it, Monk." "Stop it." "At this point, revenge is suicide." "Besides, Dragon can't stay in Monga." "You three." "...take Dragon to the Philippines, lay low for a while." "I'll stay and investigate." "We need evidence." "I'll stay too." "Do you remember, the night Boss Geta died." "You were all sent to find that A-Chung." "Have you ever thought." "...it could just be a smoke bomb?" "A-Shing." "The thing, I want it done tomorrow" "OK, no problem, leave it to me." "Get some rest Boss, I'm heading off." "Monkey is involved in an armed assault." "Now the police suspects that." "...the gun in his possesion." "...is the same one that killed." "...the Back Alley boss." "You pathetic liars." "My Monkey is still at school." "What did you take me here for?" "I gotta hurry home." "...and cook for him." "Fuck your sorry ass." "Dragon, don't do that." "Let's go." "Ignore 'em." "Why are they like this?" "Because Monkey killed Boss Masa." "Apparently Boss Geta ordered Monkey to do it." "...so he could take over the Back Alley." "Then they in turn killed Boss Geta and Blackie." "Temple Front did something like this." "The gang has lost people's respect." "What are you talking about?" "Monkey didn't kill Boss Masa." "Then you go explain to everybody." "What is the reason that made." "Monkey become the scapegoat?" "Something to drink?" "I am just here to ask you a question." "Then I'm out of here." "Have a seat." "Hey you guys take a break, Grey Wolf Bro." "Has a meeting." "Why did you leave my mom in the first place?" "Something went wrong." "Had to get away." "Then why didn't you explain to her?" "Because then she would have waited for me." "Didn't want her to waste her youth waiting." "Then, if you were given a second chance." "Would you stay with her?" "We only live once." "I've run out of my chances." "Yes." "You still have a chance." "If something happens to me, please take good care of her." "What are you talking about?" "I'm warning you." "Your mom went through hell to raise you." "You owe her your life." "You get me?" "But Boss Geta died in my arms." "I can never forget how he died in my arms." "You know what?" "Whichever way the wind blows." "The grass bends along." "When I was young I thought I was the wind." "But eventually it cost me dearly." "Then I realized we're all just grass." "You are still young, you've got options." "Go to the Philippines and lay low for a while." "What's gonna happen in Monga nobody knows." "I need to speak to Monk." "I've made up my mind, I'll go to the Philippines too." "I'll be in the Philippines for a couple months." "You haven't served in the military, how do you get out of the country?" "Unregistered boat." "I will be back soon." "I've asked Auntie how much you owe her." "I'll figure out a way to get that money." "When I come back." "I'll get you out of here." "I'll take you to the movies some time." "How's that possible." "If I 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, I 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." "I'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 shit to me for?" "I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to Sister Ling." "Explain to whom?" "I'm a goddamn gangster, who am I 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 I 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." "I want to know something." "Tell us." "Are you sending us to the boat." "...or to Hell?" "What the fuck?" "There is no boat, right?" "Mosquito, can you put down the knife first?" "If 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 fuck is this?" "If you've go the fucking guts, tell the truth in front of the Master God." "If I misunderstood you." "...feel free to give me a stab." "But if you are the traitor who sold out the Temple Front." "I want you to pay with your life." "Sell out?" "How could that be Monk?" "Can you please stop this shit?" "OK?" "Stop acting like this." "I 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." "If we are as stubborn as the old bosses." "we'll be dead sooner or later." "The entire Monga will fall into their hands." "I 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 I do." "...is for you." "Have you seen Mosquito?" "Go get everybody." "Should we go take a look?" "If 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." "If you don't kill me today." "I will kill you tomorrow" "I never understood." "what's the point in all this fighting." "Now I am even more confused." "You're my brother." "...but I have to kill you." "Because this is the street." "Because we're gangsters." "Whoever gets in the way dies." "There's no other choice." "If this were the way of the street." "Then I am not a gangster." "I am in this for friendship." "I am in this for brotherhood." "Guns are weapons for the lowly." "Monk." "You thought I 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." ""Monga, in Ketagalan (aboriginal tribe lived in Taipei) dialect, means canoe."
