VIETNAM, YEAR 1974
Attention, passengers on the flight from Hong Kong to Saigon,
please proceed to the security checkpoint to check in.
Attention, passengers on the flight from Hong Kong to Saigon,
please proceed to the security checkpoint to check in.
Please claim your luggage over there.
-Time to change shifts. -Okay.
Take out your key and open your luggage.
Hurry up and take it out.
Please, hurry up and take it out.
Take off your pants!
Now!
How is the situation over at Phnom Penh?
A lot of personnel changes at Customs.
There's a lot of changes going on.
You can't take this money.
It's my fault that I didn't tell you about this,
but it's important to me.
The money is for saving a life.
Please, give it back to me!
-Hey, buddy. -What is it?
Give it back to him, or else we would all look bad.
-He's lucky that the officer intervened. -Yes.
Or else we would have given him hell.
Here. You are free to go.
Cheung Chi Mun, you're free to leave prison.
HANG KEO POLICE DEPARTMENT
Mark!
I was supposed to pick you up at the airport.
But you picked me up at prison instead.
Where's Dad?
He is waiting for you at the drugstore.
Last night, I almost got into trouble with Customs at the airport.
If I hadn't paid them off,
we would be meeting in prison.
When those customs officers see money, their eyes light up like headlights.
Mark, you went through a lot of trouble for me.
Pedicab!
It's a good thing they like money.
Otherwise, you would still be rotting in jail.
298 Chen Hing Road.
Okay.
Bye-bye!
Is that Vietnamese?
They don't know what you're saying!
In Hong Kong, what do you hear about the war?
They are censoring the news, so I don't know a thing.
The radio and newspapers all report that
the Viet Cong are very close to the city.
The situation is terrible.
It's good you've come back. Help me persuade Dad.
He said the situation wasn't this bad.
You said there was censorship here.
How would he know what's going on?
The city looks peaceful enough.
Mun, didn't you apply for his visa?
The lines outside the immigration office are so long.
You need to bribe them.
The Chinese have been here for decades.
Asking them to shut down their businesses is worse than killing them.
Why do you think I worked in the black market?
It was only to get him a passport.
And it all boiled down to nothing.
Which one of us gets them?
They're yours!
Bye!
AUTHORITY ENTERING INTO WAR MUST FALL
It's a student demonstration. Let's get out of here!
End the war!
-Turn that way. -That car broke down.
Get off and push the car!
Move out!
The pedicab has broken down.
Let's get off and push it!
SAIGON HALL OF AMITY
Great!
Chicken buttocks!
Pat, get the soy sauce.
Uncle, here's some wine.
I put Chinese wine in a foreign brandy bottle.
It almost got confiscated at Customs.
Drink up so it won't go to waste.
Of course!
Putting the wine in a brandy bottle is clever.
Mainland Chinese products aren't allowed in.
You either remove the label or use another bottle.
Did you go to Mainland China to see your dad?
How could I go there now?
It's chaotic there, with the Cultural Revolution going on.
Even if I went there, I wouldn't know how to find him.
We've been separated for over ten years.
Uncle, I bought this at the China Products Store.
-This is good wine! -It's delicious!
Wait.
Not fish sauce. I hate fish sauce.
I want soy sauce! Soy sauce, you know?
The black stuff.
Get going!
Soy sauce.
Who's that kid?
On New Year's, when the Viet Cong entered Hue,
he couldn't find his parents.
I took pity on him and took him in.
When I asked him for his name,
he just stammered.
I didn't understand what he said.
So I called him Pat.
Dad!
What was Dad talking about?
We need money to get Dad out of here.
I was already arrested by them before.
A second time would be very dangerous.
But there's a war going on.
It's dangerous, no matter what you do.
Anyway, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Who are you looking for?
My ex-boss went to Thailand.
When l was in prison, Chung told me to contact a new buyer.
Ms. Chow Ying Kit.
I'm familiar with Saigon. Maybe I'll recognize this Chow.
Which one of us gets her?
She's mine!
She's responding!
Not the reaction we hoped for!
-Are you Cheung Chi Mun? -Yes.
-Hello, Mr. Chow. -Hello.
This is my cousin, Mark.
Let's go over there.
Mr. Cheung, you've just gotten out of prison.
You're fast at making connections.
What's your connection to Bong?
Chung introduced me.
-Chung? -Yes.
I can tell the soldiers outside to use you for target practice!
What's the matter?
They're looking for Chow Ying Kit.
These two guys are friends of mine.
Let me talk to them.
No worries.
Now, go.
Does she know us?
This is your territory. Why ask me?
You're looking for Chow Ying Kit?
He's "Tenth Uncle." He's the boss here.
I'm Chow Ying Kit.
Bong is a complicated fellow.
He doesn't need you for the black market.
There are lots of other ways to make money.
Why choose this path?
You've been in prison.
If Bong cheats you
and you get arrested again,
you'll never go back to Hong Kong.
I've done business with Bong twice.
He could have betrayed me a long time ago.
You say that Bong's complicated,
but in this business, aren't we all?
Mr. Cheung, you're an outsider.
We're all Chinese, so I'll be honest.
Here's a piece of advice for you.
Don't get involved in things you can't control.
Goodbye.
-Ms. Chow. -Mun!
Ms. Chow.
Please don't blame us for our ignorance.
He's an overseas Chinese.
We're doing this for my uncle.
You now know these old Chinese are.
They struggled to get a relaxed retired life.
If I can't get them out of here
and they stay, what is it all for?
So I've come to bring them back to Hong Kong.
I don't want to take a risk like this.
You've seen this country. Everyone is betting on their lives,
even in this war.
Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring.
Our betting chips
are being used by others.
We have no control over who wins or loses.
We don't even a choice on whether to play or not.
If this were our own place,
we wouldn't need to leave.
Everyone here tonight is escaping.
To leave or to stay,
it's all a game.
You are very capable.
If you don't serve as the casino's banker,
we won't even have a chance to gamble.
You said that all of us are Chinese.
Try to see it from our perspective.
Tell us what to do.
Our fate is no different from a gamble.
According to my usual practice, I won't do any business here.
As for the time and place, I'll have someone contact you.
What are you doing?
I'll answer the phone.
Don't bother. I'll answer it.
It's just a call! Why are you so anxious?
It's Mun's girlfriend, she's asking him to have a last fling.
Then what are you so nervous about?
Me?
Are you waiting for your girlfriend, too?
Mun and I met that girl at the same time, so part of that fling should be with me.
I'm going over now for my turn on the phone.
His Dad and l used to be just like that.
It's hard to escape from the tender trap!
Why are you laughing?
You don't even know what I'm talking about.
Eat your dinner.
Let me have the phone! Come on!
Hello, Ms. Chow.
Hello?
-Why isn't she saying anything? -She already hung up.
Playing tricks on me...
What's up?
Tonight at 8:30, at the Alhambra Theater.
Ms. Chow, it's getting late. You still want to wait?
This car is from the Foreign Ministry. They wouldn't dare do anything rash.
Don't try anything! We have a permit from the Foreign Ministry.
Bong!
-You haven't stopped the car yet! -Mun!
Mun!
Hello.
We've been waiting for a long time.
This is Hung.
Please excuse us for being late, Ms. Chow.
Ms. Chow Ying Kit is the buyer l told you about.
This is my cousin, Mark.
Ms. Chow, this is Bang.
Pleased to meet you.
Let me help you with this.
Move out of the way! Over there!
You too.
Hurry up!
-Move! -Secure the entrance.
-Have a cigarette. -Sure.
Let them conduct a thorough search.
-Colonel. -Drop dead.
Have some gum and then search him.
-Search her. -Roger!
Oh, a woman like you is carrying a gun?
Check this out. Is this gun even real?
What's the point? This belongs in the trash.
It's just a child's toy.
What happened?
What's going on?
Come on!
Hurry up!
Where to?
Upstairs.
Search thoroughly.
Search upstairs.
We work well together!
Be careful.
Mark, stay here. I'll stop Bong from getting away.
Don't go there. It's too dangerous.
The army is on its way here.
Sooner or later, we'll have to jump to escape.
Come on! Get over here!
Cover me. I'll get the gold back.
No bullets left.
Continue firing!
He's jumping down now.
Open fire!
Shoot him! Get over here!
They're inside the car!
Forget about the money. Let's get out of here.
What about Ms. Chow? Where's Ms. Chow?
Kill her!
After her!
Over there!
Hurry!
Mark!
Mark, are you okay?
You are all under arrest!
Move out!
All of you, get off the trucks. Move out! Double time!
Go!
Get over there and form a line. Fall in! Go!
Corporal Tran, take care of things over there.
Yes, sir.
We are from Headquarters.
All of you are in violation of Army Regulation number 6.
Your order is to stand down.
Very proud of yourself, aren't you?
Did you see Bong's face?
You've certainly earned your commission.
Otherwise, why go to so much trouble?
You are the woman I admire most!
I thought that was your mother.
THE SOUTH ANSWERS THE CALL OF THE NORTH
VICTORY FOR SAIGON COMBATANTS AND CIVILIANS
RETURN ALL PRISONERS OF WAR US GO HOME
Ms. Chow.
Let me return this to you.
I hope your lipstick didn't get dirty.
I forgot all about it.
I had never thought you would take such good care of it.
It's always great to listen to old songs.
It's proof that old things are better than new ones.
Do you agree, Ms. Chow?
What are you trying to say?
I think you still remember Mr. Ho.
He made you what you are today.
Have you forgotten him already?
Ho disappeared in Holland three years ago.
I miss him every day.
If it weren't for him,
I wouldn't have the success I have today.
You don't have to remind me.
What is Ho's relationship to you?
More than ten years ago, Ho had just become a small boss.
He came into the bar one night with two guns.
I was singing in the bar.
I thought that just one man against ten...
I acted on impulse and took a knife for him.
I saved his life.
Since then, I have begun working with him.
All these years, he was not only a lover of mine,
he was also my closest friend.
Now, his enemies are after him,
and he hasn't appeared in three years.
Do you know what it feels like? To lose someone dear?
The dearest person to me is my dad.
I don't know how he is now.
Nobody knows if he's still alive.
All these years, everything I've done is for my uncle and my cousin Mun.
I wouldn't dare have any hope for myself.
I only know
that bigger hopes
bring bigger disappointments.
Actually, to hope is to gamble too.
If you lose, it's very painful.
I would rather not even try.
When l was poor and young,
I wanted to earn a reputation.
Now,
I have money and a position.
I have everything but a close friend.
It's hard to go back down after you've been to the top.
There are many things I can look back on,
but I can't go back.
Since you don't expect too much, you should be happier than me.
It's been a long time since I talked so much.
-Really? -Yes.
Don't cry.
SAIGON HALL OF AMITY
What's the use of going back?
In 1997, Hong Kong will return to China.
We'll have to go back here again.
-Vietnam has been at war for years. -It's time to leave, let's go.
The situation here will be more or less the same.
Uncle, it's 1974. That's 23 years until 1997.
That's a long time.
-Might as well go back for a look. -That's right.
Let's go.
It's all a matter of fate.
We cannot change anything.
Everything is pre-ordained.
Mark, the taxi is waiting.
We're carrying a lot of cash! Will Customs give us trouble?
Don't worry. Kit knows those guys.
She'll arrange everything for us.
SAIGON HALL OF AMITY
It's been two decades now,
and I have to leave it behind...
Hey, Pat.
Be careful, Pat!
The camera.
Turn off the lights.
I almost forgot, we won't be coming back.
Uncle, I'll pack it for you.
This money is for you. Spend it wisely.
I'll come back when things have settled down.
Take good care of your health.
Don't forget to close the windows at night.
Wipe away the dust when you have time.
It's up to you to take care of this big place.
On clear days, take the medicine out to dry.
We're running out of time, Dad. Hurry up.
The taxi meter is running.
Let the medicine get moldy.
What's so special this shop?
I'll get you a new one in Hong Kong.
Does he even understand what you're saying?
He understands more than you. I looked at our sign plate
and he took it down for me.
Why wasn't it you who took it down?
So what if he took it down?
I'm the one who's going to take it to the airport.
Let's go! The plane won't wait for us.
Why are you so impatient?
If you don't want to take it, I'll tell Pat to hang it back up.
I'm not going there!
I did so much to get your exit permit!
You're making all of us miss the plane.
Miss it, and you'll have time to give instructions on the medicine.
I worked on that medicine in order to raise you.
I have to go.
I'll go in and get a luggage cart. Be careful. Keep low.
This sign is a lot of trouble.
Be careful with that signboard.
Why is it taking so long?
Hey, stop pushing. What's the hurry?
I'm talking about you! Why do you keep pushing people?
Mun!
-It's great to see you! -Where's Mark?
He went over there to look for you.
Kit, we have a lot of US dollars on us.
Will we have any problems?
I'll find a way.
I'm Mun's Dad.
Sir, I'm Chow Ying Kit.
-Ms. Chow. -Pleased to meet you.
-I'll go look for Mark. -Okay.
-Where are you? Here's your ticket. -Thank you.
Mun.
Is she the "last fling"?
Dad, what do you mean by "last fling"?
She's going with us.
Saying that is bad luck!
Wait for me here.
Kit!
What's the matter?
There are a lot of new people in Customs.
Don't worry, it will be okay. I'll find someone I know in there.
Get in line first.
Get out of the way. This is my ID photo. Here.
-Okay, get in. -Thank you.
Don't push!
Don't take too long. It's time to board the plane.
-Wow, that sure is a lot of luggage. -Everyone, remember to inspect thoroughly.
Officer.
Have a drink on me!
Trying to bribe me?
Just what do you think you're trying to do?
Get out of the way!
He has heart disease. Don't push him.
Dad!
Uncle!
Don't ruin it!
Uncle!
-Hurry! Help him sit down! -Dad, where's your medicine?
Dad!
-Uncle! -What are you doing?
-I said, what are you doing? -Uncle, please be safe!
I said I'm Tran A Tu.
Uncle!
Mun, hurry up.
Passengers of Flight 175, please board immediately.
I'm afraid I won't make it.
You'll make it to Hong Kong for sure, Uncle.
For sure.
Attention, passengers on Flight 175, please board the plane immediately.
Uncle!
Dad, I found it. Take your medicine. Hurry! You'll be fine once you swallow it.
Dad, how are you?
Dad!
He took our passports!
Take care of him!
-Mark! -Son of a bitch!
Don't!
You asshole! Damn it!
Come on!
Get up! Come on!
Get up! You're acting like a dog!
Put down the club!
Dad, are you all right?
Come on! Hit me if you dare!
-We'll all die together. Get up! -Dad...
-Mark... -Put down your baton!
Come and beat me if you dare!
He's repacking the suitcases.
Can we go now?
Very soon.
We'll be back in Hong Kong soon.
Kit!
Why are you arresting me?
You're accused of accepting bribes.
What proof do you have?
A witness.
Gather your things. You can leave.
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
-Are you okay? -Yes.
You have to get on the plane, quickly!
What about you?
I have to stay behind as a witness.
Uncle!
You can go back with no problems. You won't have to live like this anymore.
We accused that officer of corruption,
so I have to stay here and be a witness in court.
Take care, both of you.
We'll all meet again in Hong Kong.
Take care.
You, too.
Pack up and get on the plane.
CIVIL AVIATION AUTHORITY OF VIETNAM
HONG KONG
STRONG PEOPLE AUTOMOBILE
Due to the Watergate incident,
the US Congress has requested Nixon's resignation.
According to observers,
as Nixon resigns, the situation in Vietnam may worsen.
But the Vietnam government emphasizes that they are confident with the situation
and will carry on with their liberal economic policies.
Next Monday, the President of Vietnam will hold an emergency meeting
to deal fairly and impartially with the serious problem of corruption.
He promises the National Council
-that the government will be uncorrupted. -Get out of the way.
-Reuters reported a fierce aerial attack
on South Vietnam last Saturday.
Casualty figures are still unavailable.
Due to the current instability in Vietnam,
many Vietnamese have fled to Hong Kong in the past few days.
The Hong Kong government and the UN are finding ways
to solve the problem of the incoming refugees.
See, the war is intensifying.
It's good that we left while we could.
So what? We still lost our home.
Mark, I've just come to Hong Kong from the mainland.
I never meant to offend you. I'm so sorry.
Silly. I shouldn't have gotten mad. Don't mind it.
You shouldn't miss dinner. You'll get sick.
Have some soup.
Thanks.
Vietnam is in chaos. I wonder how Kit is.
I hope she's okay.
We still haven't heard any news about her.
Mark, there's a car outside with a flat tire.
Do you want to take this job?
Let me take a look.
Hey! Which tire is flat?
Mun!
Look who's here!
Mun!
What is it?
What's the matter? Can't fix it? Tell him to leave it here.
Look who's here!
Who?
Kit!
I thought I would have to go to Saigon to find you.
Mark and I talk about you day and night.
I messed up your hair.
Great!
The family has been reunited.
-Sir! -Dad!
Mun goes to the airport every day to wait for you.
Mark, take her things inside.
Uncle, she has her own house.
How can you ask her to move in here?
It will happen sooner or later.
I'm sorry. My hand is sweating.
How do you know
the nightclub manager?
Our company has shares in this place.
Evergreen invests in everything.
Excuse me.
-Sit down! -Have a seat!
Don't be shy. Sit! Let me introduce you.
-This is my cousin, Mun. -Ms. Chow.
Mark, let's just sit and chat.
No need for so many hostesses.
Silly! In this kind of place, how can you not have hostesses as company?
Kit, you're the boss here.
Why are we having just a few girls? You're not a very good friend!
Mr. Cheung, Ms. Chow.
Hello there.
This is Baby.
Baby, take a seat.
He is my cousin.
Come on. Take a seat!
Mark.
Mark, we're leaving.
Let's go.
Come on.
Boss, tell the manager that I'm very happy tonight.
I want the three of them to join me for a late snack.
Thank you.
Find out what Mr. Cheung needs and put it on the company's bill.
Thanks a lot.
You can treat me whenever l come here.
Have a good time. Excuse me.
Kit, I'll take you home.
Oh, so Mr. Cheung is a friend of Ms. Chow.
Ms. Chow.
Where's Ms. Chow?
In the car.
Here. Come.
Kit.
Look at what you've done.
Go and talk to her.
Kit.
She threw up all over the car. Go and talk to her.
Kit.
Hey.
I'm going back. You take her home.
Hey!
What's the matter?
Why do you want to go by yourself?
Why can't we three go together?
It's impossible for three people to stick together all the time.
Don't involve me in yours and Kit's affairs.
I'm giving you the chance to take her back home.
You said no matter who she chooses, there will be no grudges between us.
What do you mean by that?
You're giving me a chance to be with Kit, right?
Mun,
I know how you feel about Kit.
Don't worry. I'll never say you took her.
Treat her well.
Don't disappoint Uncle.
We're two cousins after the same girl.
I hope we'll always be cousins.
Mark!
Mark...
Kit, I'm Mun. I'm not Mark.
I know. Take me home.
VALET PARKING
Mr. Cheung. Your car is over there.
Here are your keys.
I'm not leaving yet.
Everything will work out.
The Yanks and the Vietnamese are having peace talks.
There won't be any more problems.
Ms. Chow wanted us to move back to Hong Kong.
That was an unwise move.
Hong Kong is more peaceful.
So we're refugees now.
Ho Cheung Ching.
Kit.
They said you were drunk, so I didn't wake you up.
I love the way you redecorated my place.
I almost didn't recognize my old office.
Fortunately, you haven't changed.
You're just a bit thinner.
Surely, you have many problems you can't solve.
I've come back to help you.
Sir, let me do that!
We're having our grand opening. Are you happy?
Of course, I'm happy.
I've had a lot of time to think during these three years.
I ask myself all the time,
how could my enemies find out where I was in Holland?
The betrayer must be a trusted friend.
Grand opening! Here's the lucky packet!
Thanks, Uncle.
Tenth Uncle, tell everybody
how Cheng tracked me down.
Mr. Ho, outsiders saw how close we are and tried to ruin our friendship.
If l had done such a despicable thing,
how would I have the guts to meet you?
Don't you worry about your kids in the United States?
Tell everyone why.
Why were so many killers waiting for me at that Dutch bank that day?
How did your Swiss bank account get that two-million-dollar deposit?
Mr. Ho.
I've let you down. I was wrong.
I won't make it hard on your family.
Leave a good impression and do it yourself.
CONGRATULATIONS FROM KIT
Don't move! Or I'll shoot!
Mr. Ho, let me get out of this alive.
Don't force me, Mr. Ho.
You have the guts to betray me, but not shoot me?
So scared that you can't shoot now?
Shoot me!
No bullets?
Is Ms. Chow busy today?
This lucky packet is for you.
Mr. Ho, let me go. I didn't mean to.
I was forced into it by that gang. I...
In these three years, I have never killed one of my own.
That's because you've never lost anything.
I grew up during the Cambodian War.
I've lost far too many things.
So I don't let go of things that easily.
Sir!
Uncle, are you all right?
Dad!
Uncle!
Sir!
I'm Ho Cheung Ching.
Maybe you've heard of my name.
Both of you are very capable,
opening a garage so soon
and right after leaving Vietnam.
No matter where you go,
you'll have a good business.
You two were good companions to Ms. Chow in Vietnam.
Every man gets his just reward.
I'll pay you compensation.
You've been here long enough.
I want you to leave Hong Kong.
You're lucky to be alive. Don't come back ever again.
Don't think that just because you left Vietnam
and came here, things would be peaceful.
There's no difference!
You're lucky the flower basket didn't kill you.
But luck doesn't last forever.
That's all I have to say. You may leave.
Go to hell!
You have one bullet. Let's see who has the guts to fire.
Few people can roll the dice.
If you can't afford to gamble, don't even bet!
It may not be fair.
Mark, forget about me! Kill the bastard!
Don't act rashly.
You think there's a choice?
No.
If there were a choice, millions of Vietnamese
wouldn't be trying to escape.
There wouldn't be so many beggars on the street.
The world wouldn't have so many starving people.
People don't have choices.
Don't worry about me!
Don't drop your gun!
Mun!
SAIGON HALL OF AMITY
Dad,
I should have let you stay in Vietnam.
We went through so much to bring you here.
If you had stayed in Saigon,
you would still be alive.
Dad!
Kit has come to pay her last respects to Dad.
I'm responsible for his death.
Don't be silly. You didn't send those flowers.
If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have died.
You must not break up because of me.
Kit.
There isn't any time left.
They're forcing us to leave Hong Kong.
Will you agree to go away with Mark?
I'll help Mark pack his things.
I'll buy plane tickets tomorrow and see you off.
Mun,
you have to go, too.
We all leave tomorrow.
Okay. I'll find Ling and start packing.
I brought you a gift from Vietnam.
But I never had the chance to give it to you.
See if you like it.
Thanks.
It's beautiful.
Try it on.
No matter what happens tomorrow,
we must treasure the moments we have together.
I'm sorry. I lied.
I didn't mean to leave with you guys.
A lot of people want revenge on Ho.
You two can't challenge Ho.
I don't care.
If I must perish with him, then so be it.
Everything has happened because of me.
Let me settle my old score with him.
Settle them? How?
He went back to Vietnam to regain control over his properties.
And I'll settle everything there.
Take care of Mark for me.
Keep yourselves alive.
What do you plan to do?
I'll take the morning plane with Ho.
I know that Mark won't forgive me.
If I don't make it back alive,
I hope that you'll explain everything to him.
Tell Mark that I didn't betray him.
I hope he'll understand and not hate me.
It doesn't look like Saigon will last much longer.
So we must get our money out while there's time.
The situation out there
reminds me of 1945.
The Japanese Army was retreating from Indochina.
My dad was a Japanese businessman here.
But he couldn't bear to leave his property behind.
In the end, he was executed by the guerrillas.
I was six at the time.
In order to survive, I gave myself a Chinese name.
After all these years, I've almost forgotten
that my real name is Tanaka.
Out of the way! You're blocking the road!
Mr. Ho, they're searching the vehicle in front of us.
Hands up! Don't move!
Why do you have a gun? Hands up!
Freeze! Don't move!
Get out!
-Don't worry. -Get out!
Call me as soon as you and Ling get to Taiwan.
Take care!
Where are you going?
To the airport.
You bought the plane tickets?
Yes.
What about Kit? You're not waiting for her?
We'll meet at the airport.
-She didn't say she was going there. -I asked her. She'll be there.
Mark, don't lie. Kit isn't even in Hong Kong.
Where is she?
She took the morning flight to Vietnam.
She went with Ho.
So there's no need for you to go look for Ho.
SAIGON HALL OF AMITY
Pat.
No one's here.
It's Pat.
Pat!
Don't shoot!
Mun, Mark.
You forgot us so quickly!
Mun, look! He's a soldier!
Mr. Nhan.
Wait. Why did you pick this time to return?
Tension is running high right now.
One more thing, how is Mr. Tung doing in Hong Kong?
Did he receive the letters I sent?
What did he say?
He wants to know about Dad.
He asked if we got his letters.
It's curfew, so all the telephones are turned off.
What did he say?
With the Yanks leaving, there's been an oil shortage.
The phones are out of order, too.
We'll have to split up and search for Kit.
Sir!
What's the matter?
Ms. Chow, so we meet again.
In this world, those who should die never die.
Why should people like you survive?
Thanks to you, I was jailed for two months.
But you won't be so lucky this time.
Lock them up. Deal with them the army way.
Wait.
So, you're Bong? I'm Ho.
Kit's boss.
I would like to do business with you.
If we can work together,
I'll give you three million US dollars.
We will both benefit.
Okay, but I won't let you leave my side.
No problem.
But I have one condition.
I hear that all flights might stop at any moment.
You soldiers have your own methods.
If you can get me some documents
and use your connections to get us out,
I'll pay you immediately.
SAIGON HALL OF AMITY
Hurry up! Be careful!
Mun.
Mun, I found Ms. Chow.
You found Ms. Chow?
Has Mark come back?
Mark hasn't come back yet.
But Ms. Chow only wants to see you.
Let's not wait for Mark.
I'll take you over to Ms. Chow.
If she leaves, it will be impossible to find her again.
We better hurry!
Mark is here, too. He really wants to see you.
Here are two plane tickets.
Saigon will fall soon. All flights have been halted.
Only two seats are left for the last flight out tomorrow.
You and Mark must go.
We're Hong Kong citizens. We're not in any danger.
There's a war going on here. No one can guarantee that.
With a change in government, anything can happen.
Kit, if it's this bad, you should come with us.
I still have business to attend to here.
Don't worry. Ho and Bong have an agreement.
We'll get out with the military's help.
No way!
I can't let you leave us again.
The only reason we came back was you.
I'm taking you to Mark.
Mun.
When you're in the midst of a war, you must put your emotions aside
and just survive.
I shouldn't have let you come back.
You can't solve all of our problems by yourself.
I'll tell Pat to bring Mark here.
Wait for him.
I don't have time to wait.
At times like this, who has the right to make requests?
Nothing is ever really one's own.
The more hope you have, the greater the pain.
-I can't see Mark again. -No!
Kit!
Don't move, or I'll shoot.
What are you two doing here?
Speak, now!
Arvin!
Kill him!
Don't let him escape!
They're over there!
Mr. Nhan!
-Mr. Nhan, are you okay? -Mun, are you all right?
Can you walk?
-Yes. -Pat, look after Mun.
There!
You two must leave.
They ran this way!
Pat! This is a wooden wall.
Mun, look!
They got to the jeep. Kill them!
They are down here!
Mun!
Who is it?
Tell me, is Mun dead?
Actually, you've already decided long ago to return with Ho.
So why did you see us in Hong Kong?
You knew that I came back to Saigon with Mun,
why did you only want to see him?
You have so many secrets.
What else haven't you told me?
I have nothing to explain.
If you think I'm wrong, then I'm wrong.
I've never regretted anything.
You really know how to use a gun.
You've killed so many people.
Even Mun died at your hand.
Why don't you shoot me, too?
How many will you kill before you're happy?
There's a reason behind it.
Who is right and who is wrong,
someday you'll understand it.
When Mun came,
he told me over and over that
if you find someone you truly love,
never give her up, even if it means death.
He said that you would never betray me.
But now I know what kind of person you are.
Even if you're not my enemy,
I never want to see you again for as long as l live.
Mark!
CUU LONG HOTEL
Mark!
Mun is not dead! He's over there!
Mun!
-Mun! -Mark!
Mun!
Have you seen Kit?
Where's Kit?
Why isn't she with you?
Kit?
CUU LONG HOTEL
This is the cash left in Vietnam.
It's mine.
No matter where I go, it will always return to my side.
Things that don't belong to you
will never be yours.
Don't move anything!
Mr. Ho, we're betting on different sides.
I'm in charge here.
You can't fight me without hurting yourself.
The US Consulate is burning its cash.
They're treating their money like garbage.
But to us, this green paper money
is worth dying and killing for.
Ms. Chow, don't move!
Put down your gun!
At times like this, I realize how much we need each other.
Why did you bring a time bomb?
Mark is in Vietnam.
I know that neither of you will let the other go.
What is so great about Mark
that you would pay such a price?
When you would pay the final price?
You said one doesn't have choices.
No choice, good.
Okay.
Mark, where are you?
Ho!
I'm not Ho.
I share the same name with God.
It exists if I want it to.
It's meaningless.
Listen, my real name is Tanaka.
It's better to know the killer's name before dying, right?
Whoever you are,
you are still responsible for what you've done.
It's becoming a slaughterhouse out there.
Everyone is out for revenge.
Welcome to our vengeful world.
This is a burning hell,
and it will lead you to a dead end!
I know!
The last plane
out of Vietnam has left.
It makes no difference if I live or die.
I just want to see blood debts paid by blood.
You're just a garage mechanic.
Remember,
what goes around, comes around.
You'll get what you deserve!
My gun is already out of bullets.
You have your chance.
Don't shoot!
Kit!
After all these years with you,
my only regret is injuring Ms. Chow.
Mr. Ho, when you go to the airport,
the most important thing is to bring the money.
Kit!
Why did you come back?
If I didn't, I would regret it for the rest of my life.
I've never regretted anything.
Kit!
You mentioned retribution.
But where is it now?
Here is your retribution,
to lose the person you love the most.
No matter what, I'm going to get even.
If you shoot, I'll be grateful to you
for bringing Kit and me together.
Bong!
Ho!
I'm going now.
Don't let Kit follow me.
Wait!
Help me!
Come on!
Mun!
Mun, get in!
Mun!
Get in, quick! Hurry up!
Bastards!
Faster!
Mun!
-Mun. -How is Kit?
She's seriously injured.
Bong!
-Where is he? -Still in the car.
Pat!
Pat, come over and help me carry her.
-Mun, help me carry her. -Mark.
Mark, hurry up!
Kit...
Mark, hurry up!
Get away!
-Mun, go over there! -Leave, quickly!
Quick.
Keep going.
Kit...
Hurry up!
Doctor!
She's critically injured. Please help her.
Doctor, please save this young woman.
Tell me. Who I should save first?
I don't even have enough plasma for this child.
There's nothing I can do.
He said there's not enough plasma here.
He can't even save this child's life.
Don't worry about me.
There's still time for you to rush to the military airport.
I have a transit pass.
-But you must hurry. -Kit.
The Thailand border is near.
There's a Red Cross there. We can still save Kit.
Mark, go!
Out of the way! Faster!
Hurry up!
Come on!
Hurry up!
I have a pass. Let me in!
Get out of the way!
Mark, the plane!
We're almost there!
The plane is just ahead.
Back off! Come on!
Back off!
Help me.
Come up here, quick!
Mark!
Get out of the way!
-Mark! -Make way!
Get out of the way!
Back off.
Kit, he...
Come here, quick!
Mun!
Kit.
Mark, Mun...
-Pat! -Pat!
Pat!
You go ahead. I'm not going.
I want to find my family.
Pat, take care of yourself!
Goodbye!
Kit...
Kit.
