Happy Birthday!
Thank you
Still in bed?
Are you in Cheung Chau?
Of course not, today is not a holiday.
I'm calling because it is your birthday.
I have a meeting now, bye.
Hey, the connection is bad, I can't hear...
Can't you... Hello?
Give you whatever you want if you're at the door.
Police. Is Tan Ho's family here?
I'm his brother.
He hasn't come back for a long time.
Please come in.
Is there anyone else at home?
My father is on a vacation.
He'll be back in two days.
How much older is your brother?
3 minutes. We're fraternal twins.
Is today your birthday?
Are you home alone?
Can you come to Hong Kong with us?
What is this about?
Your brother is dead.
We need you to identify the corpse.
To see if he's your brother.
Do you still remember how your brother looks like?
Room 207, Mr. Chuen Ho please.
Dad? Brother is dead.
Are you sure it's him?
Shouldn't have signed the paper if you weren't sure.
Can I be alone?
How did he die?
We don't know the exact cause yet.
It looks like he was beaten to death.
Dad, I'm sure.
It's brother.
He was beaten to death.
Brother died on our birthday.
I never understand him.
He seems...
...only belongs to your mother.
No family member from either side of us...
...ever has a character like him.
God gave me one more son.
In the end...
...only one is left.
When he left home at 18...
...we lost him forever.
He should be with mother right now.
180 days later
The word is that his death is related to underground boxing.
We investigated but no one spoke up.
These belong to your brother.
It's the key to his apartment.
We've been there and we have his address.
Please check it.
Sign here and you can go.
Congratulations!
I didn't see the ring last time.
Thanks
Excuse me...
Who are you?
When did you come in?
I was here before you came in.
Luckily I didn't undress.
Didn't you hear the music?
I always forget to turn it off.
Who are you?
Work for Brother Chu?
I'm Tan Ho's brother.
3 minutes late...
...fraternal twins?
Are you his girlfriend?
He...
Want a drink?
I just came back recently.
So there's not much to drink.
Cokes is not cold.
And no ice in the freezer.
Are you okay?
Can I...
What?
Cry.
Since Tan died...
...this was the first time I cried.
I'm sorry.
I feel like seeing my family.
I'm very tired!
Can I...
Sure.
I'm sorry.
I'm Sandy...
...as sand on the beach.
I'm Tide, as waves in the sea
What the hell are you doing?
Shouldn't you ask to see who's with her?
Am I right?
Okay, let me introduce myself.
I'm Ah Mann.
Everyone here knows who I am.
I don't wanna know.
Me neither.
Just want you to remember my face, punk.
I'm taking her with me.
See if you can.
Why don't you ask where I'm taking you to?
I don't care, just wanna be there.
I'm Sandy.
I'm Tan.
Go get that punk.
And my girl too, get it?
What medicine is this?
It's still useless after I drank it.
For rubbing?
Damn it!
Don't you think I don't know the difference?
Just look for that punk.
Sandy is back.
What the hell are you coming back for?
Don't tell me...
Yes, I'm with him.
So what? What did you do with him?
Let me tell you, before I change my mind.
Fuck off!
I'm beating her up, call me later.
I left only after he got tired of hitting me.
I know you'll be back.
That makes me feel smart.
Don't you mind that we have more people?
It feels like I've been looking for you for a long time.
It's strange.
I didn't know you before.
I also feel like I've been waiting for you.
The year when I turned 18, I took a few grand...
...and left for Malta
Why Malta?
The ship stopped there.
I liked it so I stayed there.
Like the first time I saw you.
I have a brother.
He was born 3 minutes after me.
Identical twins?
Is fraternal twins.
Yet we don't look alike.
What are fraternal twins?
It's hard to explain.
Bottom line is we look different.
I have the feeling that...
...we're like boxers.
Inside our mother's womb,
neither of us want to lose.
You hungry?
What is it?
We've...
...been waiting here for a few days.
You still haven't answered me.
Relax, I just want to tell you something.
You can't hold onto a woman forever.
You must think of your future.
You can do a lot... No.
I mean you're strong, fit...
...potentially be a good boxer.
I can introduce you to fight in an underground boxing
We can make a lot of money.
We'll be partners.
Tan, don't believe him.
He's up to something.
Brother Tan.
How long have you felt like this?
187 days.
What a good memory!
How often does it occur?
Hard to say...
Once every 3 or 4 days.
Sometimes it's fine for 3 or 4 days.
No pattern.
How can I help you?
My friend...
I want to know her condition.
The girl with focal problem?
No diagnosis yet.
I told her to come back again.
Go ask yourself.
Okay.
That's fine, I won't bother you...
You haven't finished yet.
I can go home by myself.
Your eyes...
I'm really fine.
Who are you looking for? Don't trespass here...
I forgot to ask you.
Take me to see Ah Mann.
This is your brother's bike.
I'm looking for someone.
Looking for someone?
He is Tan's brother.
Tan is dead.
What do you want from me?
Cause you are his best friend.
We are soul mates.
What a pity that his soul is gone, mine is still here.
He wants to know anything about Tan.
Go away.
Go.
Wait for me at the corner.
Wait.
I have to pay for the bike.
Your brother was really a legend.
Do you know?
He left home when he was 18.
He can make you do anything for him.
But...
...his body was left out in the public.
I wanted to do something but they wouldn't let me to.
Who are those people killed my brother?
They can manipulate the games.
Why should I tell you?
Take me to where my brother always went.
I have the right to know how he died.
Even the cops are not pursuing it.
How dare you call yourself his soul mates?
Come here.
Punch me with all your power.
Let's see if you're as good as your brother.
If not, you have no right to know.
He would not hold back.
I know.
You're not as good as your brother.
It's for your own good.
Hello, Brother Wah.
This is Ah Mann.
Can you do me a favor?
Nope?
Remember I used to be your boss.
No...
How dare I would threaten you?
Let me in for a minute if it's convenient.
Thank you...
Don't stay for too long.
Wah says that they'll be back soon.
He once worked for me, he'll respect me somehow.
Who fights in here?
Those who are not afraid of death.
Allright, I fight.
For how much?
I'll take you to meet Brother Chu.
And I'll say I'm your manager.
I thought you can call the shots.
No one can call all the shots in this world.
He can fight?
For show, you mean?
Ah Mann can make a mosquito sound like an eagle.
Right?
Actually, I...
I may be exaggerating, but...
...not much...
How long you haven't been beaten up?
What do you mean?
To see if I can fight...
...you should feel the blow with your nose.
He asked you guys how long you haven't been beaten up
He didn't put up all his strength.
I don't want my snot to get on your fist.
Let him fight a match.
You know the price for a beginner?
Sure do.
If he does well, then you can share the profit.
It's nothing like that during a match.
It's in a different world.
I've never fought this kind of boxing.
Don't worry, wait a minute...
It's simple.
When you go out there...
...hit everything you see, punch till your opponent falls down.
Then we make money.
It's that simple!
Here they are?
Almost forget.
The mouthpiece.
I'll do it...
Let me do it! Corny!
What are the odds tonight?
One to sixty.
This one.
The odds on you tonight...
...is 1 to 60.
Don't worry.
Because they don't understand you like I do.
What're you looking at?
Brother Chu.
Really? Where?
Fight back.
You didn't punch me like that!
Punch... keep punching.
Watch out your back...
Listen, no round...
...no rule, no referee...
...beat him until he falls.
Winning on a rookie?
You're in luck.
I knew he was good.
Money.
I agree his punch is pretty ruthless.
Should we have a better deal?
I agree he's an agile fighter.
But...
Only if he wins one more match.
No problem!
I'm not taking the credit but...
...I knew this kid was excellent.
Ah Mann, you're gonna be rich.
We make a fortune today.
Let's make more money.
Come on! 3, 2, 1.
I knew you would be like this.
So hard to open.
Already?
Let's go...
Be careful...
Wanna run?
You two, this is great.
Let's celebrate together!
You like winning?
I never lose.
What are you writing?
A spell...
...to put on you.
I'm afraid that you will get tired of me.
We make a fortune together, how could you treat me like this?
Come on, let's have fun.
Come on...
That's right... come on.
Is this side 1 to 60?
I bet on here.
Brother Chu.
Old Woo is the Master of the House today...
Is he alright?
Of course. Is that a problem?
Do I look like a beginner?
What is this?
New technology.
You're escalating, see how cool you're.
Come on...
Beat him! Six feet five, beat him!
Yeh!
Yeh...
Great! Great!
Incredible.
Your grin looks awful.
No, really?
I don't think so.
You bet against me?
I was wrong, sorry.
What are you doing?
A good fight.
I'm the only one who wins tonight.
Even he didn't believe in you.
Take it.
Let's go.
Take your share, and give me the rest.
Oh! My dear!
You did it again.
This is it...
We really fight a way to our future.
70 percent is yours.
And this is the rest.
Mine is 30 percent.
This extra hundred bucks are also yours.
Don't say my cut is too high.
We make money together.
I'm also fair.
What attitude is this?
This money...
Let me warn you...
...don't let women handle your money.
Otherwise, I can't help you anything.
Check this account for me.
What account?
If it's still open.
...deposit this money in there.
For another woman?
Right?
Have you ever seen your brother's heavy punch?
Right at this spot...
...your brother respired his last breath.
Where's the Korean?
Mr. Ying, he's fighting in Hokkaido.
Bring him back.
I want him to fight with Tan.
Although Tan has never lost...
...he's not capable to fight with Korean.
Okay, I'll bring him right back.
It'll be a hell of a match.
I'll give Tan the first grade payment.
If he wins, there's an extra 5% bonus of the total income.
Brother Chu, you look so handsome today.
The account you asked for was closed 7 years ago.
I missed you.
Wait...
What so hurry? Wait for my friend.
Can you really fight?
That's right, I wanna ask this handsome guy.
Howcome you could fight so well?
You can do it too.
Me too?
Yes. How?
Like me. Like this?
Punch like this.
Damn! Like this?
No good, he won't die.
Don't swear before you punch.
Don't swear.
Drive this tonight.
Tonight?
After we win few more games...
...we must able to buy one.
I purposely rent it for you.
Yeh, I like it.
Yes? Then get in.
This car suits you.
Not bad?
The bike suits me better.
No, I haven't experienced it.
That's right.
What are you doing? Don't...
Are you crazy? Go away.
Don't.
Don't touch my man.
I just wanna show her...
...this year's popular color.
You're such a good fighter, hit me.
Let me go!
Is she crazy?
What about this orange?
You okay?
Feels good.
Looks pretty good, really.
Let me go...
Let go of me.
Hate me?
That's my way.
I won't let anyone else stay into your heart.
Not even a little.
Not even Ah Mann.
Ah Mann is a guy.
Jealous on guys as well.
I don't know how I can stand you?
Cause you like me.
I'm good in boxing...
other than loving me...
...what else do you know?
Hurry up...
A gift for you.
What is it?
Take a guess.
I don't bother to know.
Although I never tell you what I like...
...there's no reason to give me this...
...Who'd give a woman a fridge?
Can you be more romantic?
Don't you have a lot of things to refridgerate?
Corny.
I never dream of anyone would give me so many flowers.
I never receive more than one.
I don't deserve them.
I'm not a good woman.
Who are you looking for?
I'm here for an audition.
With whom?
Marco
He didn't inform me.
I really have an appointment.
Marco, there's someone here for you.
Who is it?
A beauty.
I'll be right out.
I have a windsurfing student who is a psychiatrist.
He says that the problems with your eyes may be sychologically induced.
They're better now.
Are you dating anyone?
Yes and no.
I don't understand.
She's older than me.
White collar, having her own business.
Only comes to Cheung Chau for leisure.
Solely in Cheung Chau does she have time for love.
Do you love her?
It's hard to say.
Don't love someone too much...
...it's very scary.
Have you been to Church
Church?
It's a place for drinking and singing.
You play piano?
I play bass.
I was in a band.
I saw the Korean practise boxing.
What is it?
He's a record producer...
What else can you do except fighting?
Tell him when he awares, my name is Tan Ho.
I felt like you are making love with another guy.
I thought you totally belongs to me.
When you fight, I'm an outsider too.
It's different?
What's the difference?
Don't sing.
Can I ask you not to fight?
You never asked before?
I'm asking now, okay?
Okay.
Okay, that's fair.
Brother Chu, Tan's odds is going up.
Almost as same as the Korean.
I'm Chu.
Same as your expectation, the odds are high.
What? The connection is bad?
I just got a new phone, sorry...
It won't happen again.
One good news and one bad news
Bad news.
Well, the bad news...
Speak up!
Tan is not here.
But his odds is great.
I know you get a new phone...
...here's a chance to use it.
It's starting soon, what's up?
I heard you covered a lot of tickets.
Haven't you lost enough?
Can I borrow your phone?
If he doesn't show up in 3 minutes...
...you take his place.
Are you serious?
Before the Clash of the two Titans...
Let me, Ah Mann...
...warms up the fight with...
...this Korean guy who comes from a long way.
Thank you!
Actually, I come to sing a song for everybody...
What do you wanna hear?
You want me to sing?
What?
Can't hear...
No...
Just kidding around.
Excuse me, I have to take care my business at home
Son of a bitch!
Bitch...
Let's go!
Unable to anticipate
...I didn't swear...
...my punches are more powerful.
I'm sorry.
I'm here to finish the fight.
Fight in the arena.
No money, no fight!
Don't try it.
Take a rest.
I'm not dead yet.
It's alright.
Your right triceps and ligament are torn...
...you can't put up too much strength on your arm.
If not, it's very easy to tear them again.
Should we notify the police for gunshot wounds?
Everything is being taken care of.
We handle things differently here.
Mr. Ying wants to see you.
The biggest anguish in life is a weakening body.
Don't think I look okay...
2 years ago, they put in a pacemaker in my heart.
My left lung stopped functioning a long time ago.
Cause I drank too much when I was young.
My liver is bad, too.
Anyway...
...everything inside has a problem.
Can you imagine...
...the feeling of your slowly weakening body?
Can't imagine it.
I thought the same thing when I was in your age.
If I met you when I was young...
...you may not able to beat me up.
I don't want to argue something that is impossible to prove.
I miss those days.
Along the edge of life and death,
hearing the sound of muscles slamming against each other.
It was extremely exciting.
What do you want from me?
I want you to lose.
That's honest.
Because you haven't lost yet...
...to lose is your highest value.
What I do best now...
...is to find the best value in people.
Mr. Ying, time for your medicine.
Do you know why I fight in these matches?
Not because of money,
it's because there is no rule in these matches.
I can win it incredibly.
No one can win forever.
A well-planned loss is also a type of victory.
Understand?
Why don't you think of a way to make me lose?
We see things differently, there's no use of talking.
I shouldn't have let you come.
You'll get me killed.
Keep fighting.
Arion.
Been here for 6 months, has never lost a match.
Ah Mann.
Brother Chu.
I thought I said...
...never let me see you again.
If we see you, we'll beat you up.
Nope, I don't think you ever said that.
I did say that...
Who let you in?
Great...
Interested in fighting matches?
Not now.
He's okay.
If you change your mind, give me a call.
Brother Mann...
Mess with me?
Get out, you moron!
6 months.
A whole 6 months...
...I lost my dignity.
Today, Ah Mann...
...is back with pride.
Too bad there isn't any champagne.
Your brother and I would have one bottle each.
We drink like fishes.
Don't, you're drunk.
Me drunk?
Don't you know this alcohol...
...hasn't made me drunk for a long time.
It can't...
Do you know how my heart hurts?
Alcohol can't make you drunk.
...Then what makes you drunk?
People...
Heart...
To Alcohol!
To people!
To heart!
I'm sorry.
I made you think of your bad memories.
I have to catch the boat, bye.
Bye.
You...
Okay. What?
Sure, so what?
I'm alone.
I have no friend.
I don't wanna go back to my pig sty, okay?
I'm okay, go away.
Bye...
Go!
What do you want from me?
I know, I am a gangster.
A moron.
I thought I was cool of having a few goons.
I shouted at them to look cool.
I...
Your brother was my best friend.
I don't want to be alone.
I don't want to be lonely.
Make yourself at home.
Pretty nice.
Living alone?
No woman?
Women think Cheung Chau is...
...too far away.
Sleep wherever you want.
What are you doing?
You said I could sleep anywhere.
Alright... Goodnight.
Get up.
What?
Come on, get up.
Why wake me up so early?
It's not so nice.
I'll teach you something.
...that you won't scare of lonely anymore.
Get up.
I don't want to learn...
I don't want to learn, please.
Climb up, like me.
You can't always depend on other people.
Help me.
On the board, there's room for only one person.
You must depend on yourself.
I said you could do it.
No problem!
I have a question, maybe you can answer me.
We checked everything, there's nothing wrong.
Either you hurt your head before...
...or it's psychosis.
It's common in children to have...
...focal problems and...
...visual difficiency.
At your age, it's rare.
Is it curable?
How is it?
He said I was fine.
The psychiatrist I mentioned last time.
Why don't we...
Why don't we watch a movie?
Okay.
I've been in love with you for a long time.
Why didn't you say so?
My predicament didn't allow me.
Besides, I didn't have the courage.
I'm afraid that you would refuse me.
Because you didn't say anything.
You wasted my precious youth, you know?
Can we...
Sure.
My predicament didn't allow me.
Besides, I didn't have the courage.
I'm afraid that you would refuse me.
Because you didn't say anything.
You wasted my precious youth, you know?
Would you let me look at you for one more time?
I go up now.
Then...
I have to go too.
Can you see clearly?
It's clear like this.
I'm off tomorrow.
Do you have another woman?
No.
8 years ago...
He took me here one day.
He said he'll go somewhere far away.
We just turned 18.
I asked him how far was far away.
He said it'd be too far away for him to return.
...so we wouldn't meet again.
Now I know...
...far away...
...means forever.
My brother loved me.
He always stood up for me.
Next time if the high graders bully me...
...I can tackle them.
You just be a good boy.
Let me be the bad one.
It's not my first time in a fight.
I can really beat them up.
Can you fight better than me?
Come hit me, good boy.
How are you? I didn't mean it.
Don't worry, I won't hit you back.
I owe you the rest of this match.
Why?
If I don't fight back, you'll never know who's better.
Sometimes I think his rebelliousness...
...was caused by our mother's indulgence.
The worse he became, the more our mother would spoil him
When he left, I felt like losing half of myself.
I'd come here when I was depressed...
and screamed out my deepest thoughts to the ships.
I thought the ships...
...would carry my words to my brother.
Tan!
I wanna die with you.
Let Lysol come up first.
Spliting the match in two, means gaining more ante
What's up?
Brother Chu.
What, punk?
Want to fight?
Only one match.
No problem, give it a try...
...see if you like it.
I only want to fight with that black guy.
With what?
My life.
I'm Tan's brother.
No, punk. You're mistaken.
We're businessmen.
That black guy is a retired pro-boxer.
He'd fight with anyone...
...but you gotta have enough tickets.
Who will fight with you for no money?
Don't you have tickets?
How do I get them?
Simple, cover them.
It's a business.
He will leave in two days.
For how much?
How much is the cheapest match the black guy had?
Around $600,000.
You hear?
You have to pay if you wanna die.
Think about it.
No!
I won't let you go even if I have the money.
Revenge is not the answer.
I'm going back to work.
I don't want to lose another friend.
I have another way of fighting the black guy.
What're you thinking of?
Ambush?
How coincidence, I'm thinking the same way.
Can you not going for suicide?
I told you not putting up heavy punches on your right arm.
He wins.
Time to stop, the match is over.
No, it's not finished.
It's great...
Mighty power punch wins.
He wins, okay.
Let's go home.
Tan!
This is unfair.
Tan obviously wins. What the hell is going on?
Tan!
You can't move your arms, can you?
We win, let's go home.
Come on, get up.
Tan!
Go grab his girlfriend.
Tan! Tan...
Tan...
Let go.
No.
Let me go.
Take it easy.
Tan!
Take Tan's girl with you.
When the time is appropriate, we'll let you come back
If you don't follow our order, you'll end up like Tan.
Let's go.
Come on. Let's go.
Tan!
If you really want to fight with him...
...I'll arrange it.
Trust me, I'll arrange it for you.
But I have one condition.
What?
If Tide can stand for three minutes, then he wins.
No problem, maybe there'll be extra bet.
And on-site ones.
Make it in two nights.
The black guy has to leave.
Kid, you don't have time to be trained.
I know.
Dad.
Your students came to see you.
They missed you a few times.
It's you who wanna know where I've been indeed?
Your students want to know.
If you want to know, why don't you simply ask me?
Don't you know that I passed on...
...my character to you?
Tan didn't have this character.
Can you not hide everything in your heart?
Speak it out, I'm your son too.
The one most like you.
Hmm...
8 months before you two were born...
...a windsurfer friend of mine visited me in Cheung Chau.
He lived in the U.S.
He is so charming...
...that all women would love at first sight.
His character just liked your brother's.
Rebellious, wild.
When your mother...
...first looked at him,
I knew that...
she had already fallen in love with him.
The week that he stayed here...
...was your mother's prettiest moment in her life.
After he left...
...your mother was here...
...but her heart...
You think Tan...
Fraternal twins.
You like me.
Your brother carries that man's rebelliousness.
Had you ever asked mom?
You want to know the answer?
Someone ordered pizza?
The last few days of my mother's life...
...I was at her bedside.
On one beautiful night,
...she suddenly woke up...
...and even sat up.
She always...
...treated me not as good as my brother.
She knew she could never make it up.
So, she sang an old song for me.
She said if you heard this song,
it would bring you happiness.
The next night...
...she passed away.
It should be the last match,
because I broke the rules of their game.
The record producer called me.
He said that he doesn't mind you hit him.
He thought I had the potential.
Let's talk after the match.
If I didn't meet you...
...how would I be?
If it was meant to be, we would meet eventually.
Wait for me.
Tomorrow is my birthday.
Finish it, okay?
I'm leaving.
Bye.
Come back if you can.
Tide!
Thought you won't come.
This money was left by your brother.
I don't want you to lose it.
We're gonna win.
Thank you.
3 minutes according to this clock.
Is this kid really Tan's brother?
Sure he is.
His brother made me win a lot of money...
...I must bet on him.
All on this kid.
Tell the driver to wait aside.
The black guy is in a hurry to the airport.
You still expect any surprise?
One punch from Arion can beat him up.
His punch is heavy, you can dodge away.
Sure win. I'll court the time.
Okay, starts counting.
I'll let you play for one more minute,
then you'll be dead!
Don't fight head on, dodge away!
Understand?
Hang in there, kid!
Punch! Yeah!
Alright, don't attack him anymore.
Just one more minute.
You are worse than your brother!
Get up...
Come on, get up...
Only 4 more seconds.
He wins.
Hurray!
Yeah!
He wins.
They can stop.
Let's call Mr. Ying.
Pay me the winnings.
Finished right?
What? I paid hard cash.
Tell him to stop, what's going on?
He wins already.
Time's up. Why won't you stop the match?
Now is your kid who keeps on fighting.
This is ridiculous.
Can't find Mr. Ying.
If you can stop him, then you win.
Damn you, liar.
Don't fight, we win. Let's go.
Why don't you listen to me?
Yeah!
Don't fight!
Stop the car!
Let's go, stop fighting.
What? The fight is not over yet.
Messing up my place.
Get in, let's go.
The doors are locked?
Open them up!
Anyone?
Open the damn door!
No more fight! No...
No problem!
Chuen, we are waiting for you.
Chuen, I have to go.
See you at the tournament.
Chuen, are you alright?
Jonas said goodbye to you.
I have never seen you so beautiful before.
Don't you know that...
...in the next 18 years...
...she will never be as beautiful as today.
Chuen, what are you talking about?
Do you know why?
It's because of you.
Women are the most beautiful when they...
...are in love.
Chuen Ho.
Take her with you.
I never said I wanted to leave.
I don't want you to live unhappily.
Is that what you really think?
You know what your problem is?
You never express your feelings.
We still have one more fight.
Yup!
I'm not the one you have to beat.
It's the phantom you created yourself.
I'm not better than you.
At least...
...you have a more complete life.
But three of us...
...can never be together.
You're called Tide?
As waves in the sea.
Where do the waves go?
Onto the beach.
You're called Sandy?
As sand on the beach.
