Me?

Five, six years.

You wanna go next week?

Bring me back some mooncakes?

I'll buy you the ticket.

I can't. I got Thursday nights.

You can find someone for that.

Right, Sonny?

Yes.

It's Hong Kong.

You tell me what I got to do,

Dai Lo, and it's done.

Good man.

I'll have Sonny arrange everything.

Since when can't an old

friend bring you mooncakes?

Might be an old bastard,

but there's not a lot I don't remember.

- What do you mean?

- Your sister.

F*** you. She never liked me.

That was a long time ago. People change.

Good to see you, my friend.

About that night...

F***ing kids can't keep

their d*cks in their pants.

That mess got nothing

to do with you and me.

I'm glad you feel that way. Listen.

I was in Hong Kong last week,

made a great new discovery.

Try.

You want in?

I have another batch coming next week.

You got connections. Why you need me?

I had a couple of deals turn bad,

which now limits my ability

to self-distribute.

- What are we talking about?

- Four kilos to start.

You get 10% after sale.

I need 50,000 up front.

In good faith.

Considering the risk,

15% seem more reasonable.

They pick you up from the airport,

get a big dinner, stay at a nice hotel.

The next day, you deliver

the mooncakes, you walk away.

I'm sitting in First Class, right?

You're lucky you're even going, Teddy.

2,500 now, 2,500 after.

Hey, Teddy. Don't f*** this up, okay?

Sonny!

Don't be such a downer.

I'm Agent Bloom with the FBI.

From what I understand,

you're the closest thing there is

to an Asian Gang Unit here in Queens.

There's a lot of sh*t

going down in Flushing,

some of it involving a person

of interest to the Bureau.

Paul Wong?

I've been tracking Paul's gang,

the Green Dragons, for a long time.

Okay, and?

It's the freaking Wild West out there.

And law enforcement,

when it comes to Asian folks,

white guys like you,

you don't give a sh*t.

It's a numbers game. You'll learn that.

You speak Chinese?

Cantonese.

Chinese isn't a language,

it's a family of languages.

Some speak Mandarin,

Shanghainese, Fookinese.

Then there's the non-Chinese languages.

Vietnamese, Korean...

You're not even listening.

I'm listening. Do you know who this is?

She runs a grocery store on 45th.

Would she have any

connection to Foochow Paul?

There's an easy way to find out.

Come on, come on, come on.

That's for me?

Yeah.

I don't know, you know...

They were lit before,

but the wind's all strong.

Go ahead, make a wish.

Taxi!

Hands up!

This way, move, move!

Hands on the wall, now!

F***! God damn it!

We can't just leave him in jail.

I can fix this.

Is this about Teddy or the girl?
