Go to Hell!

Are you OK?

Yes, thanks to you!

I was talking about your bench.

Pack up and leave.

It's going to get messy here.

OK, Daqi.

Everyone's here.

Don't say I never gave you a chance, Iron.

Hand over your turf while you still can.

Brothers!

Here!

Kill them all!

Attack!

Here!

Over here!

Kill him!

Scar! Iron!

This turf here...

...it belongs to neither of you!

I'm in charge now!

Who's that fat man? He's got so much power!

Hong Shouting.

The police captain of the French Concession.

Also the criminal kingpin of Shanghai.

Those who died...

So, that's him...

pay their family.

Look at him.

A few words and everything is solved.

That's a natural leader.

And the rest

If only I could work for him.

collect your money

and leave!

Looks like you're still alive.

What's your name?

I'm Lin Huai.

"Huai" as in "villain".

The apprenticeship ceremony will now begin.

Master, Hong Shouting.

Apprentice, Cheng Daqi.

Our ten rules.

Rule number one, never disgrace your master.

You're in charge here from today.

Two, no disrespect to family elders.

Three, obey the street moral code. Move.

Four, be loyal to one master only.

There will be no gambling

on my turf from now on.

Get going!

No opium den and prostitution.

Hookers, gambling and drugs are now banned.

Eight, no bullying the orphaned and the weak.

Nine, no favored recruitment.

Listen carefully. Once you're in the family,

you must play by the rules.

Anyone who breaks the rules...

...goes to the bottom of the Huangpu River.

Got that?

I understand, Ma'am.

I really hope you'll make

a name for yourself, Daqi.

I won't disappoint you and Madam.

I've done all kinds of business.

Everything except banking.

I'm hoping to have your assistance on this.

What do you think, Daqi?

You have many businesses

on both sides of the law.

But we're in a period of unrest.

If war does break out,

we can lose everything overnight.

A bank, however, is different.

You'll be taking in other people's money.

Build alliances with foreign

businessmen as a banker.

I think it's a win-win situation.

Your analysis today was excellent.

Thank you, ma'am.

I've already decided

on your Master's behalf...

...you'll get 10% of the bank's profits.

I can't accept it, ma'am!

It's OK, sit down.

It's already been decided, OK? Eat up.

You look beautiful today.

I have to wear this for work.

Work?

My aunt sent me to

the Paramount as a dance girl.

I've already worked there for two months.

Well, it's just dancing.

It's really just dancing, Daqi.

I refuse to do other things.

What other things?

You must know!

Alright, alright.

Just live a good, upright life.

Let's both work hard.
