One, use dump gun.

Two, never shoot whites.

'Cause cops, then they

gonna give a sh*t.

Three,

leave no witnesses.

And four,

always shoot guy in head.

Like taking candy from a baby.

We thought a long time

about what you say, Paul.

Flushing. Why we need to go there?

I can help with that.

Forty-seven.

Seven.

Six.

Fourteen.

Today is your lucky day.

This is from Paul.

We're the Green Dragons.

Paul liked to say,

when you walk into a room

know where the exits are,

and always have a back-up plan.

The day Steven's gun jammed,

I was the back-up plan.

A**hole got his cherry popped.

F*** you.

Earlier they marched

again in huge numbers,

in what could be the last great

demonstration of this current campaign.

Tens of thousands calling for

people's law, not martial law.

What an a**hole!

You think that kid's an a**hole?

I know one thing for certain,

he's a f***ing dead man.

Steven, what do you see?

I don't know.

You don't know?

What about you, Sonny?

What would it take for you

to put it all on the line?

To stand down a tank.

Either the tank lives or I do.

There's no way both of us

walk away, not from that.

Two immovable forces,

neither side willing to back down.

In every crisis there's opportunity.

Paul made it a point to ask questions,

to encourage us to

see things differently.

He was our leader, and we

would've done anything for him.

It's a blast from the past

Rear view mirror

Take a trip

Back up the hourglass

It's gonna be a great year, Dai Lo!

Green Dragons, the most

powerful gang in Queens!

Green Dragons!

This is a great man.

Teddy Sham had a hit single in Hong Kong

before bringing his family to America.

His son, Ricky, was Paul's best friend.

He was killed one night when

he and Paul were out drinking.

Ever since, Dragons kept an eye

on Tina, Teddy's daughter.

For Paul it was a matter of saving face.

For the rest of the Dragons,

Teddy and Tina were the relatives

who came for the weekend,

but were still sleeping on

the sofa a month later.

Hey, Bobo.

So you came here with your dad?

Eight years ago, yeah.

You must get a kick listening

to your father sing.

Look, Sonny, I should go.

Hey, hey, hey!

Whatever you think I am, you're wrong.

What do you want, Sonny?

You want to be my boyfriend?

Let me tell you something.

I don't date Green Dragons.

It must be hard living a lie,

pretending to be who you

are just so you can fit in.

Have a good night.

Dai Lo! Dai Lo! White Tigers!

Steven!

Steven! Steven! Steven!

Stay awake! Steven!

Open your eyes! Open your eyes!

Open your eyes!

Open your eyes! Steven!

Open your eyes! Stay with me.

You did good tonight.

From now on,
