Shanghai Triad Page #5

Get up! Get up!

It's so early! Where are we going?.

I've nothing with me!

Shuisheng, get in!

Hurry!

Get going!

FOURTH DAY:

This is boring me to death.

Why leave home so early

just to sit around in a dirty boat?.

Not even allowed outside!

Where are we going,

sneaking away like thieves?.

We're going to a small island, Miss.

An island nobody knows.

Nobody?.

What's on this island?.

Just a widow and her daughter.

There are safe places in Shanghai.

Why do we have to go there?.

I'm not going!

You are, like it or not.

You know the rule.

Miss, once we're on the island,

you must stay calm.

Don't wander off.

Anyone landing or leaving

without permission will be killed.

Those are the Boss's orders.

We haven't even told

Song and Zheng.

It isn't far from Shanghai.

If people know we're there,

they'll come and kill us.

Is it that bad?.

That's how it is.

So many people in Shanghai

are jealous of me.

They all want

to take my place in bed.

The older you get,

the more you know about pain.

Shuisheng! Fetch the red box.

Be careful.

It's the Boss's medicine.

Where do I sleep?.

In the next room.

We have to talk business

with the Boss.

Unless it's urgent,

don't bother us for the next few days.

Urgent?. In this place?.

There's nothing to do here!

Will you stop complaining?.

Shuisheng, get rid of those swabs.

Not in the sea.

Bury them.

All our rubbish must be buried.

Don't forget it.

FI FTH DAY:

Your lunch.

Put it on the table.

In the country we eat very plainly.

It's exactly

what we and the Boss want.

What a sweet little girl.

She's had lunch, sir.

What's your name?.

Ajiao.

And your mommy?.

Cuihua.

How old are you?.

-Nine.

-Nine? That's nice.

Cuihua, wait here.

Is she your daughter?

Yes. Her name is Ajiao.

She's cute.

She has a pretty nose, pretty eyes.

You think she looks like you?

She looks more like

a child of mine.

Ajiao, come here.

Who is prettier?

Your mother or me?

What do you want to be

when you grow up?

Come on, tell me.

I want to be like you.

Ajiao!

Have you been living here long?

Several years.

How can anybody live here?

I'm bored to death

after just one day.

Shuisheng! Do you know

where Miss is going?

Go with her!

Take an umbrella, it's starting to rain.

Do you hear me?

Shuisheng! Are you asleep?

Get up!

Shuisheng! Get up! Quick!

Buzz off!

Go on, go away!

Open up!

Who is it?

It's me. I need you.

Can't it wait till tomorrow?

Open up!

Are you counting your money

or what?

I haven't come to borrow money!

You took your time!

-Were you asleep?

-Yes.

On your own?

Ajiao's sleeping too.

I can't sleep on my own...

so I came to talk to you.

What about?

Oh, we'll think of something.
