"Basically, all out gang war Hong Kong style" " Is that where I'm heading?" " Yes." "So give me the rundown what's happening" "The Japanese Yakuza joining forces with the Chinese triads in Hong Kong." "For real?" "God damn right I got the information right here." "So... who's side am I on?" "There's a small group of triads that are holding out we're going to be working with them and want nothing to do with the Japs." "So this Yamaguchi group sent a hit squad over to one of their weddings wiped out just about everybody" "Sounds like something I'd do." "Not and not quite as professional they left two the sons alive." "They've been tearing them up ever since one of the brothers took a helicopter blew away quarter of the Yamaguchi building." "So what do they want me for?" "The Japs got smart they kidnapped one of the brothers fiance's neutralized them." "Haven't heard anything from him since." "What about the targets?" "Well the main guy is an outcast from Tokyo, but he has a lot of international connections he hooked up with this American guy in Hong Kong." "Opened up shop there, he's been trying to unify the Triads." "What are the numbers like with the Triads?" "Pretty impressive, pretty impressive, pretty big, they are headed by this ugly looking guy here in the tape, this Fu Manchu looking guy, I want you to do me a favor" "I want you to take this guy out first." "Why?" "He turns my stomach there's something about him, he's very very evil" "Okay." "He..he reminds me of a slanty eyed toad just... just put one up his ying yang." "Shouldn't be too hard you know if you take these top guys out, the whole of that structure will just... just crumble" "Now how do you know I'm not being set up?" "Like what ...what do you mean?" "Well maybe this small group wants me to take out these guys just so they can take over that whole Yamaguchi operation." "Well for one reason my dear friend" "Chaplin Chang is involved, been through everything with him, known him for 20 years he wouldn't lie to me anyway what's the difference, who cares." "His name's..." "Chaplin?" "Yeah, Chaplin, like Charlie Chaplin the clown but don't call him that he doesn't like to be called that when you get there call him Chang" "Alright." "Now give your friend Chaplin that list of stuff I need when I get there." " I'll take care of it" " Is the money in the bank?" "The money was in the bank before I got the phone call." "I checked with Zurich this morning." " When do I leave?" " Tonight" "Good I should be back in time for the playoffs." "Oh yeah.." "let's take a look at this again this is absolutely wild." "If he resists arrest, shall we open fire?" "No.." "I don't want any shooting." "What's your problem?" "Open that case." "Sir, it's only a telescope." "You're chasing the wrong brother." "Stop!" "Check for accomplices." "You're under arrest for murder." "Did you think you wouldn't get caught?" "I suggest you co-operate from now on." "Move it." "Take him away." "Hold it!" "Hold it!" "Don't run!" "Are you Mr. Chang?" "Yes, how are you?" "Fine, you ready to go?" "Well I am a bit apprehensive about this whole situation." "I'm asking if you are ready to go?" "Yes.." "Yes of course, this way, my driver is over there." "You get everything we needed?" "No problem everything is fine" " Hey, he is waiting for us." " Who is waiting?" "The godfather of Hong Kong." "What about those two crazy brothers?" "Any idea where they might be?" "They have gone into hiding, they are my nephews." " Were you at the wedding?" " I was not invited." " Can you find them?" " Probably." "I don't think they will leave the country until this matter is resolved." "Look understand something, if they interfere with my work they are going down like targets." "Am I making myself clear?" " Well, well yes." " All right." "Is that him over there?" "Yeah that's him, let's go over." "Mr. Chang has arrived." "Has Mr. Chan arrived yet?" "No." "He'll be arriving on the 6:30 Tokyo flight." "All accounted for except Mr. Chan, our liaison." "Our liaison for what?" "He's our link to the Yamaguchi cooperation hopefully he can bring a peaceful ending to this unfortunate conflict." "All endings are peaceful my friend." "What does it hurt to try?" "You're telling me you're willing to negotiate with these people?" "Business is business." "Murder and kidnapping and not a good sign my friend." "What do you suggest?" "Basically I want you guys to stay out of my way for the next few days, if you think negotiates going to help go ahead make a fool of yourself." "I'll let you know something is going to be some metal flying." "What you say sounds reasonable" "Well, I don't see the point, if there was to be any violence against us they would have done so." "Look these people are regrouping" "How do you know?" "Because that's what I'd do, lay low and set you up and give you false sense of security and then I'd pick each one of you off one by one." "Excuse me a minute" "He'll do what you want him to do, don't worry." "Civilians.." "Your car sir." "Your spirit drives our company forward." "This is your new family." "Hong Kong is our new home now." "Chinese and Japanese together." "Please take a seat, Mr. Chan." "Namura San" "Hong Kong is beautiful this time of year." "It's energy is limitless." "I am honored you are meeting me on such short notice." "Please sit down." "Thank you" "Bring some tea." "It's very useful that you came." "Is that so?" "Can you give me some background information on how to resolve this?" "I've prepared a full report to take with you." "A local family has started trouble so we must take appropriate steps to rectify this" "I've been sent here to get a clear picture and reach my own judgment on who's right" "What does that mean?" "Hong Kong is my second home." "Everything is moving smoothly now." "I know Hong Kong better than you." "You seem to forget that I was born here." "Hong Kong is my first home." "I don't forget anything!" "I am curious where your loyalties stand at this point." "I hope we can work things out" "For everybody's sake." "I don't want to meet that guy again." "He can be somewhat eccentric." "But he is very concerned with this matter." "Well he ought to be, his ass is flapping in the wind." "You know, something you said at the construction site gave me an idea." "Yeah, what?" "I have a girl working as a secretary at the Yamaguchi Building and she told me the top people of yamaguchi will be meeting the Chinese partner tomorrow" "Where?" " At the house of David Miller." " He's the go between, right?" "Correct." "This kind of thing is highly unusual." "Right, what's the security going to be like at Miller's Place?" "Very lax, but tomorrow..." "I think it will be different." "I got to get in there today." "Very good my driver can help" "He's a very good technician, he was trained in Taiwan on anti-terrorist techniques" "That's just dandy but I work alone okay and I just not some kind of group effort." " Am I clear?" " Ok OK you're the expert." "Good now to give me to the warehouse I' don't have much time." "You got the C4?" " Yes" " Timers?" " Of course." " I'll bring the beer." "Come on Chan the fight has started." "Mr. Tan is over there" "One..." "Two..." "Three..." "Four..." "Five..." "Six..." "Seven..." "Eight..." "Nine..." "Ten." "Blackie is the winner" "Better luck next time." "I knew we would win." "But why didn't you bet?" "There a bigger things to bet on." "Excuse me uncle, there's a surprise guest in town" "Chan Pao!" "Elder Uncle." "Why didn't you call me?" "When did you arrive?" "A few hours ago." "We're like a family, you know." "Of course." "Uncle, listen, my mission here is very serious, so please remain neutral for now." "Don't worry my boy." "I'll always stand by you." "Thank you, uncle" "Keung, come meet your Big Uncle." "Hey old man, we don't need your help to deal with those brothers." "So run back to wherever you came from." "How can you let our allies suffer for your own personal gain?" "Oh my, aren't you noble..." "Talk is cheap where I come from kid." "Sorry Uncle, I'm going." "This not over yet." "Come here, you fool." "Why did you bring Chan here?" "Don't tell him our business you goddamn moron!" "You sly old bastard, I'll fix you good." "Hello, Mr Namaru." "Chan's meddling is complicating our merger." "Let's deal with one enemy at a time sir, This is the best way." "I'll take care of this matter personally." "Chan is best friends with the two brothers!" "That makes everything simpler." "One fell swoop" "Chan is also your close friend." "Is this a problem?" "He's an acquaintance, not my son." "I won't lose any sleep over him, OK?" "Mr Ho, still working so late?" "What is the foreigner's plan?" "Well, he didn't say exactly." "Why not?" "He said we didn't have to know." "We need to know." "What if he fails?" "I don't think he will." "That's always been your problem, you never think ahead." "I say we use our original plan as a back-up." "The man said he worked alone." "The man said, the man said." "His life isn't on the line." "Look at it this way If he fails, we have some protection..." "If he succeeds, we will only be there to back him up and share in the credit." "Either way we're covered." "This is risky." "But..." "I knew you'd agree." "Go now." "Alright, I'm leaving." "Fool." "Where's that boss of yours, everyone's waiting for him?" "He's upstairs doing some preparation work." "Baby, I love you!" "No..." "No.." "No.." "Hurry up and pour me a drink." "What was that?" "I don't believe it" "Hey..." "Taiwan boy!" "I told you I work alone" "No, don't shoot!" "Let me go" "Here take all this money." "Take me as your slave" "Don't kill me" "Hey, Fu Manchu!" "Where the hell did he come from?" "Quick, I'm being pursued by a crazy foreigner!" "I need back up!" "Why do you protect the brothers' side?" "See what they've done?" "Don't try to shift the focus!" "Your actions are highly questionable." "You'll see that my plans are for the best." "I don't believe you!" "What?" "!" "?" "How dare you!" "You screwed up, do realize that I could be on way home now." "I can't help it!" "Well obviously..." "Obviously, who gave the order?" "The committee felt they needed a back up plan, in case you failed." "My gut tells me to get out of here now." "I can assure you it wouldn't happen again" "Alright my price just doubled, I'm gonna call my bank in five hours if the money's in, I move forward" "You got any questions?" " How can I reach you?" " I'll contact you" "Those guys that escaped they can ID me." "I'm going to check out of my hotel room and stay real close the airport." "So use your time wisely, you understand?" "All right." "Are you Alex Man?" "Who's asking?" "Destroy everything!" "Shit!" "Chang, yeah we're back in business, get a pen and paper, alrighty." "What I need from you is a copy of the schematic of yamaguchi building" "I figured you could get it for me" "No I'm not gonna blow it up." "What happened?" "They tried to kill your nephew" "You should be used to that kind of nonsense by now." "Hey look, get me those blue prints, I need them by tonight yeah what I'm going to do is check the building out today and see what their security is like, all right..." "Take care." "Why did your people attack without telling me?" "We didn't start this mess." "Do you have any idea how stubborn the Yakuza are?" "They will never retreat." "Chinese are pretty stubborn, too." "Leave this to me." "No." "They started, but we'll finish it." "The informant told me that the deal you interrupted was for a big quantity of arms that came into the country." "Well you'd better believe it." "Excuse me." "Yes." "How many?" "When?" "Oh, you saw the girl alive, very good." "What is it?" "You look surprised." "Yeah, the arms deal is for tomorrow night." "What quarter of the building is it in?" "It will be at this uncompleted area the lift is here but the security will be huge." "It's going to be pretty normal all around the outside it's gonna be like a" "Hornets nest on the inside, so the hard part is gonna be..." "Not getting in but getting back out again." "What would you do?" "I figured both sides want to be extremely edgy and should be enough dissension among the ranks to create enough of a smokescreen for me to pick off from the key figures" "Now look, I've got to break one of my rules here and ask you a favour." "Yes, what can I do?" "I need your two nephews to go in there with me, do or die." "Alright I'll tell them." "Good, I knew you would." "Both of them have got brass ones." "What I need is for the boys to focus their attention here and here, while I do my magic" "Not to sidetrack you, the fiancee of my nephew is still alive." "I believe they are holding her somewhere here." "I don't know if she's going to be able to make it." "I'll do what I can, okay." "What about this negotiator..." "Chan?" "Nobody has heard from him." "So it's just going to be the two boys and me." "Tomorrow night's the night." "Everything's in place." "Will there be a shipping delay, Mr Tan?" "No problems, OK?" "I don't want any foul ups Timing is critical." "Remember, these arms must reach their destination" "Don't worry." "I've got a stake in this too." "We're in this together." "The money's here." "I want your word that all loose ends will be taken care of." "As soon as this is shipped, the whole family will die, starting with the girl." "OK, I trust you." "Thank you." "That's amazing." "How'd you do that?" "Let's get our asses in fast." "Someone's coming." "I heard two more." "That's us!" "Move it." "Wise guy!" "Hey Tan!" "What's happening?" "!" "No idea!" "No problems?" "What do you call this?" "I don't know what's going on!" "One thing at a time." "Yoshida..." "Kill them..." "We'll settle up later." "Open fire!" "Cease fire!" " Where's the girl?" " I don't know!" " Where is the girl?" " She's at the pier!" "Shit!" "Not what you expected huh?" "Get up you want to see the girl alive you gotta beat me, come on" "Alright your party" "If you can't do better than that I'm beating you to death." "Even though you're Chinese, I consider you a worthy adversary." "Let's settle this as men." "You are a disgrace to the warrior code." "Bullshit!" "You have no right to judge me." "Let the weapons do the talking" "Right!" "I've prepared for this." "Alright big mouth you ready to fight" "I won't die by your hand." "Never!" "Where is the girl?" "She's in the building." "That fixed them" "Uncle Uncle Please, Elder Uncle, spare me!" "Uncle Tan forced me to do this." "The world has no use for your kind." "Why did you kill him?" "A duel!" "Idiot!" "Bobo!" "You're really dedicated." "The lady said you'd come." "Drop the gun or I'll drop her!" "Go ahead, maybe the afterlife will see us married." "It's good to see you all in one piece." "Now here is a present." "Oh that's a good book I've read it read already." " You have read it?" " Yeah." "The incident is all over the news." "It says the incident is a result of an arms deal gone bad." "Good, I don't like my work being advertised it's bad for business." " Well I lost a few friends last week." " You'll get over it." "Well, I guess many things are in order." "Save it, the only reason your side won is because you got to me before the Japs did." "So it was just luck?" "That and the fact you aren't greedy your ambition didn't take place over your survival." " So if... err..." " Listen my friend..." "Life is about filling in the gap between when you're born and when you checkout, it's about not getting bored or doing something stupid, either following after are you chasing the inevitable, no matter how you look at it" "it comes down to just one thing" " What?" " Death, it's all about death plain and simple."
