Mr Wong! Mr Wong!

Mr Wong are you ok?

I am fine.

Leung! The police are coming!

Are you ok?

I am fine, thanks for your concern.

Once again,

I was fortunate you were there.

I was only doing my job.

I heard what happened.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

For months now we've known...

...that Kai has been trying

to move in on our territory.

The longer you leave it...

...the stronger he will grow.

And you are sending

a signal to Kai...

...and the other bosses...

...that you are losing power...

...making yourself and us look

like an embarrassment.

I will take care of this.

- When?

- In my own time.

You're running out of time.

Enough.

You may go.

How would you like

to deal with this matter?

Mr. Wong, wonderful

that you could join us.

I hope you don't mind

I took the liberty of making some calls.

I thought it was a great opportunity

for all of us to get acquainted.

Just go to the point.

What do you want?

It's in my best...

all our best interests...

...to coexist peacefully.

I only came to show respect,

not cause trouble.

I know my place.

If you knew your place

you wouldn't be here.

We don't like foreigners.

Respectfully, on the even

of your 10th anniversary...

...of independence

from British rule...

I have a new vision...

...that can take us to the next level

of wealth and prosperity...

...a supply of valuable goods...

...that I need to have distributed.

And that's where you come in.

Stupid!

We don't need you to deal drugs.

Well, I know you don't have

access to the source...

...even if you wanted to distribute it.

We are not interested.

I certainly don't want

to see your drugs on my streets.

I understand your reluctance...

...but it's a no-brainer.

Think about the gain.

He has a point...

...why don't we collaborate?

Shut up! Watch your mouth.

Enough! This meeting is over.

I don't trust this man

and neither should you.

Wong...

...I won't ask you again.

You choose your words

carefully, Kai.

Or else what, little boy?

Waiter.

No.

Sir sir sir.

No. Sir sir sir.

Bloody foreigners...

Kai's got some nerve.

He's not the first and he won't be last.

His goods are attractive

and will tempt many.

We must be cautious.

If his drugs are sold on my streets,

I'll f***ing kill him.

Boss he's got a point.

I heard you were stepping down.

Bullshit, who said that?

I'm not going to be around forever.

However, if I step down I will

ensure that stability is maintained.

Let's go.

Hey, Shen.

Unlike Wong and others...

...I believe in alliance.

It would be good for all of us.

I can help you...

...but you have much to learn.

So help me...

...and tell me why you're here.

You know nothing

of the relationship...

...between Wong and my father?

Look, spare me the family

history lesson...

Shut up and listen.

My father stayed alive

for one reason...

...the information

he had on Wong.

Tell me.

I'm no fool.

You think that information

comes with no price?

So name it.

You call me when

the price is ready.

I'll have something

for you then.

This stays between us.

Is that clear?

Kai was behind the attack at the office.

I don't want this turning into a gang war.

I have seen too much bloodshed.

I've held power for 40 years...

I'd hoped that my son,

Yuen, would take over.

But he's not ready...

the men won't follow him.

How long have you worked for me?

Almost 12 years.

Time goes by so quickly,

you've served me well.

There are not many I can trust,

but you are very loyal.

Thank you Mr Wong.

I'm getting old. I'm tired.

When I step aside I am worried that

the wrong person will take over.

That's why everyone will be

watching us closely.

Anyway, it doesn't matter

as long as you're here to help.

We have a deal?

What do you have for me?

My father kept it

locked in a safe...

...in case Wong ever

turned against him.

- Who is she?

- I don't know.

But you're a resourceful man.

She could be anybody.

You consider this information?

My father would not

have kept this...

...if it was useless.

Understand this, Kai...

...do not underestimate Wong.

If you push him...

...he will fight back

with great force.

Don't worry about me.

You just better hope

this is worth something.

There's a very private matter

I would like you to help me with.

This girl...

...lives in England.

I want you to go over and watch her...

protect her.

But Mr Wong, we have lots of men.

You are the only one I trust.

When do I leave?

Tomorrow.

And the situation with the Japanese

man, who will help you deal with him?

I will deal with him.

I don't want her caught up in any of this.

Whomever I choose as my successor,

they will be fortunate...

...to have you by their side.

Mr Wong can I ask you something?

Of course.

When you step down I want to leave too.

What you ask is very difficult.

There's no easy exit.

You of all people should know that.

But if you do this thing for me,

I'll find you a way out of this life.

Yuen thinks he's all that, but he's weak.

He's nothing without his father.

Got a light?

Next time watch what you say.

When you land a contact will meet

you with details of her whereabouts.

I understand Mr Wong.

Remember only make contact with her

if you have to.

I've held power for 40 years...

I'd hoped my son,

Yuen, would take over.

But he's not ready.

The men won't follow him.

Shut the f*** up!

What's wrong with you?
