Mom Have you washed your hair?
Always trying to be Elvis, you'll never make it!
Yeah, just fooling around, don't tease me!
Isn't it pretty? Ellen! Take a look! Ellen!
Hey man!
Frank! Still pissing around?
Told you to watch out for cops! Your dad got arrested!
Mom! I'm your son!
Dad, quit this sweeping job.
When I get a real job...
It's destiny, I'm a nobody. It's OK.
But my son won't be sweeping streets.
It's a cruel world, money talks. Without it you're shit!
Remember! If you get a break, hang on in there!
All workers, come join in our strike.
Come on!
Here comes Prince Charming. Here for Jane?
Here's an orange to shut you up!
You too! The work OK ? It's OK !
Are you sure it's okay? Let's go.
Wash up those glasses! So slow! Hey! Watch out!
Hey! What's up!
Hong Kong sucks!
We'll get nowhere in this place.
I don't want to be a nobody
for the rest of my life.
Wherever you go,
count us in!
Yeah, we're just like windflower;
settling down wherever the wind takes it,
we're all orphans here.
One day, I'll come back in a Mercedes.
Let's not wait, we'll go drive a Mercedes now.
Whoever loses, buys!
It is a deal!
You'll lose!
You're gonna lose, Paul!
No way, I'm winning!
Don't fall in the sea, Frank! No sweat, watch out.
You watch out!
Frank, go get it!
I won!
Grab me, Ben. Help me up
Punk fell in the gutter...
His girl's gonna cry.
His body's so stinky, she doesn't find it kinky.
Smells like ammonia.
He's mad that he fell, ah!
Gutter smells ain't so swell.
I'm scared by the mob. What will happen?
Let's get married. Now? When we have no money?
Poor people can get married. I don't care about the future.
Just want to be a bird and be free to fly around.
Go places, see the world.
I know there are great places out there!
I want you to come too.
Are you dreaming?
It's not a dream.
Offer tea to your in-laws. Mind the knees!
Make room, Marilyn Monroe's here!
Going down, careful!
Frank! What are you doing here?
Is the banquet money OK ? No problem, trust me, don't worry!
Are you sure? No problem! Get inside!
Frank, remember to change out of the suit.
Go inside, go on! Try and get there early!
Cheers!
Thanks for coming, help yourselves, drink up.
The bride and groom, photo time.
Mr. Kwai, take a seat!
Is the money OK ?
Your guarantee?
You sure you can pay?
No problem! My dad makes that much in one session!
Right! I trust you.
Thanks Mr. Kwai!
What time is it?
Ten Thirty! Thanks!
Frank baby.
Ringo!
You're stepping on my turf!
Really? Sorry, sorry man!
Let me through, it's important, please.
Son of a bitch
Bastard, don't run!
Punk, I know you've been seen Kwai.
Give me the cash.
That's enough, Ringo. You've made a fool out of me.
If you want more. We'll fight again one day!
But this money is staying with me!
Shithead, you ain't got no choice!
No... You can't.
No? Come on! Bastard!
Give it back.
You bastard!
Mr. Shing, show me how to make a buck.
You gotta take risks! Take my word for it.
The more chaos, the easier the cash.
Vietnam's at war, there's no law and order.
Smuggling, drugs, anything goes to make a buck.
What's bugging you?
Frank's not here, hope nothing's wrong!
Don't worry, he's always like this.
Thanks for coming. Let's see the guests out.
Thank you!
Hey, Frank!
Here I come! Ben, Ben!
You're late, everyone's going!
Scared you shitless, Huh? Only if you didn't show up!
You can trust me man.
The boss is getting impatient, got it?
Yeah, let's go!
Frank is late, drink!
Let's wait for Paul! Yeah!
Paul!
Hey come on! Booze time! This one's for you!
It's your wedding, drink to the fool.
Let's see the bride! Yeah the bride!
What happened?
Nothing, what?
Oh that? Fell in the gutter,
I was rushing, fell down!
In a gutter?
Yeah, yeah, 'Punk fell in the gutter'
'His girl's gonna cry'
You're terrible!
'Smelly like stale fish'
'And his girl's gonna fry'
Hey, as your pal, can I kiss the bride?
No sweat, only her hand, she's safe
He's really coming!
Congratulations, all the best.
Don't let him kiss you!
I've asked Ben, he said your hand's OK .
Right Ben? Jane, don't let him!
He cheated, he kissed my face!
You guys are always the boss.
What's this boss crap? We're all just trying to make a buck.
We're buddies, right? And buddies are all equal.
Punk, spineless worm, you only know how to fight.
Got beaten again! Dad, forget it!
Please stop making a scene! So what?
Bastard! You good for nothing!
Get lost! I don't care! You're not my son!
It's you? What's the matter?
What happened to your head? Nothing! I fell in a gutter.
It's nothing! Only a bit of blood.
I'm used to getting beaten up by mom. Nothing new!
Hey!
You crazy!
If it's only bruised it won't hurt so much.
You've been bleeding all night, it must hurt.
Now will you tell me who did it?
Ringo! He wanted to take it.
I wouldn't let him, so he did this.
With what?
A glass bottle.
Hey! What are you doing?
What are you doing? Stop! Stop!
Stop! Get him. Stop!
Ringo!
Did Frank cross you? He made me mad!
Go to hell!
Die, die!
Ben... Ben...
Paul, open up!
What happened? We killed Ringo.
What now? I don't know, run I guess.
Wait a second.
Sorry! I really got you screwed,
and Jane too.
We owe you so much.
Is Ben there? What's the matter?
He's wanted for murder, we're looking for him.
Ben, Frank, Paul!
Fatso? I brought you lots of food. Come on!
Were you followed? No, I was smart this time.
Change your clothes.
Change your look, then no one will know.
Lots of people on your back!
The police, Ringo's boss
and Mr. Kwai's out for you, Frank.
Yeah?
How's Jane?
She's OK , the cops talked to her, she's scared!
Don't worry, I'll look after her.
I got your passports. Thanks Mr. Shing!
I've got a friend called Luke over there.
He'd help you to solve problem.
Take these two boxes of penicillin, Rolexes and medicine.
To the Saigon coast, hand it to Mr. Y.S.Leong.
No tricks, he's dangerous.
OK, Mr. Shing!
Overthrow the government, we want liberty.
Long live Communism!
Overthrow the British government, we want liberty,
Jane, this way.
The mob's here again. I'm scared.
Jane, watch out.
Jane. What are you doing here, go
I want to talk to you! I don't want to hear it!
It is dangerous here, follow me! Run, what's the matter, run!
Feel hard?!
Run, or you'll be recognized by the police.
I have to leave Hong Kong for a while.
You do whatever you want to do, as usual.
You even killed somebody on your wedding night.
Don't worry, Jane. I'll be back for you.
Forget it, everywhere is the same.
The future cannot be foreseen, God knows!
Anyway I'll take care of myself. Take care!
No matter what, the goods come first. It's our lifeline.
It's so peaceful, doesn't seem to be at war.
Who gives a shit, the war's their problem.
They're killing Vietnamese, nothing to do with us.
We're here to get rich! Then move on to Thailand!
Will we make it?
No sweat! Smugglers - they're all millionaires.
With a new place there's new hope. And this is our new hope.
Guess how I'm gonna spent my first million!
Buy yourself a Mercedes! That's obvious!
Dummy! Would I risk my life for a friggin' Mercedes?
Either I don't go back, or I go back loaded!
If I make a fortune, first,
I'd buy my mom loads of embroidered slippers,
Then she can't hit me with her wooden clogs!
I only want to go back for Jane.
Then I'll get you your ticket! You better mean it. I'll remember
Wow! What a scene! Hey! What's happening?
Get out. Hey! What's happening?
Bomb!
Grab the goods! Forget it!
My stuff! Come on! Let's run!
My stuff, Oh no! It's over! It's your life! Run!
Officer. Run! Run!
Forget it! Let's split! Run!
Don't fire! Don't fire!
No! I'm Chinese, Chinese!
Don't move!
Look up!
Did you plant the bomb? No!
Denying huh?
If he gets it wrong, we're in hell!
I won't let him shoot me!
It's gonna be OK ! We're not local!
Shut up! No talking! Don't move!
Did you plant the bomb! Speak up!
No! Sir, I didn't!
Look up!
Sir, I'm HK people...Sir!
No! I'm HK people! No! No sir, I'm HK people!
We're HK people! Please, don't hit...
It's him! Grab him!
Are you OK ?
We wanna take some pictures.
Who are your accomplices? Pig.
Move on! No photos!
Bastard! Who's behind it? Come on talk!
Tell me where your accomplices are hiding?
We have the right to know!
Bastard! So you won't talk! Right? Well die!
Go inside!
In our business, we can't be running scared.
With a gun in our hands, this world is ours.
This is Y.S. Leong's hole Wow! It's impressive!
It's the first time I've been in a place like this!
Well, time to broaden your mind!
Excuse me!
Excuse me! You...
You should take Mr. Leong as an example!
He's really a big shot, his nose is in the air!
How come Hong Kong singer is here?
Excuse me, I want... Are you from Hong Kong?
You're Chinese? Great! Yes
You know a guy called Luke? I'd like to talk to Luke.
Hey! That Frenchman? Is he a foreigner?
He's a Eurasian. Take a seat!
If he knows his friends are coming, he will look for you!
Thanks!
Sweet heart, come over here! Oh no...!
Be good! Stop it!
Mr. Leong, would you please ask them to behave themselves!
I'm here just to drink with them, no hanky-panky!
I'm sure you're used to being caressed by strangers.
Are you Sally?
Any problem?
There are tons of girls like her! Oh my God!
Can I be of any help to you? Why should you help me?
Because we are Chinese!
Wait for me at the bridge tomorrow!
Promise to come. It's a deal!
Shit, I've got to go!
I told you not to talk to strangers, go back to your seat!
You're looking for me?
Are you Luke?
I'm so happy to see you! Take a seat!
I'm tied up with something, see you later!
Good night, my friend! Good night!
Havana
Thank you!
Mr. Chan, our goods were being hold up by your customs.
Mr. Leong, these goods are so important!
Currently my boss wants to visit the States.
I'd like to buy him a return air ticket.
How much is the ticket! U.S.$100,000!
So you're a greedy person!
Fine with me U.S.$100,000!
Have you been waiting long? It's alright!
Luke, let me introduce you!
Have we met? How are you!
What now? Anything I can do?
Originally, we brought some goods to be exchanged with Mr. Leong.
Unfortunately we ran into trouble, everything's gone!
What now? Get something out of Leong!
But this is not our original plan!
You want to be in jail in HK?
You want me to lead a dog's life forever?
I've forgotten I have a father who is a sweeper.
What you want?
Today I saw some soldiers killing people,
I learned something!
In this world if you have guns, you have everything!
Tell me what's the value of human life!
I'm a bit worried you'll get involved!
Leong is so powerful because he's got weapons.
I need a gun!
I'm not sure it's right or wrong, but anyway I'll try my best!
Wait! What is going on?
I want to prove something!
Two cokes, please!
Two cokes! Yes!
$14
We have no money!
You must pay me! Don't mess around!
I have none... Hurry up! Give me the money!
Don't do that, you'll hurt somebody! Let's go!
Look, such an easy job!
Let's go, we'll be in deep shit if the cops are around.
Give it to me! Hurry up, you bastard!
Give me the money to get lost! Don't shoot... don't...!
You! Don't move! Don't mess around! Oh shit!
Got the money! Let's go!
I'll shoot you bastards! Get back!
Shit, the soldiers are coming!
Don't shoot!
Lie down, lie down...
Don't shoot! Don't... I surrender...!
Lie down!
Get it! Let's go!
Let's get in!
Wow, what a fucking world!
This is really a fucked up world!
There are big robberies and there are smalltime crooks. You scared?
Peace no war! Peace no war!
We want the governor respect our peaceful desire.
Stop the war, respect human rights.
Peace no war! Peace no war!
Peace. No war!
Stop!
Peace no war! Peace no war!
Don't worry, Jane. I'll be back for you.
Forget it, everywhere is the same.
The future cannot be foreseen.
I'm sure I can't get away.
A year ago, Leong signed me up to sing in the nightclub.
He told me I'd make a lot of money!
At that time, I was only dreaming...
The moment I arrived in Saigon, he took my passport
and did not allow me to go away...
He even forced me to deal in drug-trafficking,
and made me a whore.
I don't want to see you dead, you're my little moneymaker.
In 10 years time you'll forget everything.
Forget you've been in Saigon, forget you were a whore,
won't that be swell?
There's no one to help you?
Yes...
Please get me out of this shit, please...
We snuck out to see the boats here,
We wished one day we'll get on one of these boats and sail away.
Let's go!
I just wanted you to kill people!
I didn't tell you to take her away.
Don't worry! We traveled here by boat!
We'll travel back by boat too!
Are you sure there will be guns?
Don't worry, just stick with the plan.
We've gotta trust him.
Yeah, that's what friends are for!
This lot is better than the last. It's here.
Check it out!
Have you got the gold leaves? Yes.
Havana. Thanks.
The same one? Yes.
This contains a list of names and contacts of CIA agents.
You'll make big money selling guns to North Vietnam for us.
Right, no problem, we'll split the profits.
Come in!
Hello, Luke!
My friends, Paul, Ben and Frank.
They're friends of Mr. Shing.
Mr. Leong, nice to meet you.
Mr. Leong!
Well, the youth of today, huh!
Well, What do you have for me? Penicillin.
Great! The North needs that stuff.
Check it out!
It's OK !
I trust you since you're Luke's friends.
Relax downstairs, have a drink, have some fun, OK ?
Help yourself.
Luke, go have a drink, too.
I won't, someone's waiting for me!
Still the Don Juan, huh?
I hope no one gets killed.
I don't give a damn,
I'll kill anyone who gets in my way.
Ben!
I'm worried.
Don't worry!
Miss Yen, are you all right?
I like that song you sing 'Windflower'
Will you sing it for me?
Mr. Leong!
Sit down, how is it? Had something to drink?
A bit.
A bit isn't enough! Come, get some more glasses.
You all gotta drink.
Do you know her?
You Hong Kong boys are real Romeos!
Got your eyes on my girl before the deals even done!
Mr. Leong, you got it wrong, we didn't mean it like that.
We just like her singing.
I also heard, you wanted to take her with you!
She's my trump card,
I spent a lot grooming her.
Mr. Leong, you got it wrong.
We already liked Sally when we were in Hong Kong.
Loved her singing.
We were staring at her because it was strange.
She seems to have changed!
She's not beautiful anymore. Ben!
She's lost her innocence, she's not happy anymore.
What sort of grooming is that?
Are you accusing me?
No one dares to talk to me like that!
Young man, you've got guts! Bring the booze!
Let's empty the bottle.
I made the screwup, it's my fault! I'll drink!
Right! Real buddies!
Since you're buddies,
all three of you drink!
Ben, what's wrong with you?
You call yourself our pal? Don't let him step on us!
Aren't you being selfish? Don't let him step on us!
What did you say?
You screwed up, don't drag me into it!
That's what the fuck you think. Stop it!
What are you two fighting about?
Serves you bleeding right! Stop it!
Ben!
You traitors!
Bastard! Look after Ben.
Old shithead! Pull him up! Run!
Go back, quickly! Let me go, let me go...
Don't come over! Don't move! Or I'll kill him!
One more step and I'll shoot! Help!
Don't come over! Kill them!
Let me go or you'll die! Watch him.
Ben, where are you going? Ben!
Bitch! You're not going anywhere!
Sally!
Ben? Frank is back!
Don't move!
Sally, Sally!
Will me make it?
Let's go now.
Watch out!
Are you guys crazy? Stuck with this dame.
Do you wanna get us killed?
I promised her I'd take her away.
That's your damn business, leave me out of it.
Stop it, Paul!
If we're still buddies. It's not important.
Let's get the hell out first!
No way! You'll never leave! Stop fighting!
Get down!
Where are the gold leaves? Luke! Where is the gold?
Where's Sally's passport? I don't know.
You said it was here! Where's the gold?
In the safe.
Where is Sally's passport?
You'll get it over my dead body.
Where 's Sally's passport? Speak up!
You'll have to kill me first! I bet it's in the safe.
Bastards! You won't get out of here alive.
Sally, don't worry! Ben will help you, even without your passport.
We could be refugees, sneak in Hong Kong.
Sally!
You see! I told you not to worry.
We'll get back to Hong Kong, right!
Hey! Release Mr. Leong!
Take your clothes off.
Boss!...
Not Mr. Leong, he's our brother.
Go to hell!
Where's my passport?
My passport's gone!
Sally keep cool!
Bitch!
Sally! Stay away!
Help!
Bastard! Don't touch my gold!
How dare you take my gold! My gold!
You can't, give it back...
Let her go!
You're a dead duck! You want her, right?
Sally!
Don't move! Stay away!
Stop stalling for time. Or I'll kill them.
Don't move! Wanna die?
This is Vietnam, you won't get out alive!
You Shut up!
Punks, you won't get out of Saigon!
Drive, just go on! Go on! Quickly!
Come on!
Drive!
Ben, get in, quick, quick!
Get in, quick, quick!
You'll be OK, don't be afraid.
What do we do?
Don't worry, I used to work for the CIA, I'll handle it.
What are you doing here?
Sorry sir, I have a pass! What happened?
We're being attacked by Vietcong, it's dangerous here.
You better get out of here.
One of our friends is seriously hurt!
OK , but take care. Thanks!
Let them pass!
Can't turn back now! Let's just get through! Quick!
Please, let me in the car! Help me, take me...
Go away, Bastards...
They're so pitiful!
Move, move! Bastards!
Drive on, faster!
Frank, start from there,
plant a mine every three steps, just in case.
Right! Quickly!
You OK ?
Hang on. You'll be OK .
Will we make it?
We'll get away! The boat will leave soon, don't worry.
Really?
Really! Believe me.
I told you, once we'd have the chance to leave.
We'll go back to Hong Kong together.
Be strong.
You'll make it back to Hong Kong.
I've got a record of yours at home. Waiting to be autographed.
Hey! Luke, is the boat coming?
If those Vietnam bastards get here, we'll be dead!
Is the boat coming?
Hey! What do you want? Answer me OK ?
Are you human?
Spare a thought for us.
You only care about your gold, what about us?
Are you blind? Can't you see?
Frank! What are you doing?
I feel like shit!
Ben, the boat's here!
