One More Chance (2023) Movie Script
1
It's a sign.
Go...
Go...
Laser Beam...
Laser Beam...
Yeah!
We're in the laser beam...
Rocking and rolling!
Let's get paid!
Place your bets.
You'll hear from us.
Thank you,
Goodbye.
Boss Shui...
It's only the $1,000 table.
Thanks.
We're up 70 grand.
Let's go.
Hell no.
If you weren't nagging just now,
I'd be up 100 grand!
I would've covered my debt
to Tart and had extra!
You already have enough.
Let's go, man.
Wait.
You got an epiphany?
Look at that fatso's face.
He's definitely in a slump.
Kick him while he's down.
Let's clear him out.
Put 20 grand aside first.
Let's see your cards.
You show me yours!
Full house aces.
Ladies and gentlemen...
Four sixes.
Four sixes wins.
You've won, baby.
I told you to put 20 grand aside.
Shut it.
Money must hate you.
You're wiped out.
It's time to go home.
He's right.
You pouring salt on my wounds?
Scram!
He's lost it.
I called you a dozen times.
Hey!
Where are you off to?!
What are you looking at?
You've been out of it lately.
I want to see if it's raining.
Worried about Tart coming to collect?
Cousin.
Don't worry.
Flower stashed away 10 grand
at the casino
and paid the interest for you.
Nosy jerk! You stole 10 grand
and gave it to Tart?!
You broke my luck
and made me lose everything!
What's he angry about now?
Fong Sir.
Water lost...
Stop talking.
I'll tape your mouth shut.
Trim the sides...
and back as always?
No...
A new style this time.
Anything new?
Got anything hip, but graceful?
I got you...
I know exactly what you need.
Pick one.
These are all long...
My hair's so short.
It's impossible.
Nothing's impossible in this salon!
Wait.
Take a look at this.
Looking spiffy!
But... that's a wig.
Made with real hair!
Is this a prank?
No way, it'll withstand a typhoon.
Shake it!
Such a stud!
So handsome.
All the girls will be screaming for you.
You'll be the talk of the town.
No one can resist you!
My brother...
So rad!
This is great!
I look so stylish!
I told you.
Look.
A knockout!
Let me go wash my hands.
Looking great, Fong Sir.
All of Coloane knows that a goddess
just joined your school.
All the male teachers
are turning into oppas.
That's not funny.
Does she teach phys ed?
Let's invite her to a swim.
I'd like to work on my...
doggy style. What your mouth, man.
She's the school's new social worker.
Huh? A social worker?
Don't go for it.
Social workers are real pests.
Real control freaks!
Just hit it and walk away.
Look, I...
Once she gets attached,
I promise
you'll...
Have no freedom!
Lose your freedom!
Be in agony and tears!
Took a wrong step...
Stumbled and fell...
Bent over...
Hey, hottie.
Need a haircut?
Which stylist would you like?
I'm looking for him.
I'm booked full this week.
Try next month.
There's a kid I'd like you to take in.
Oppa!
Let's get your hair washed.
Looks like something's going down.
Let's go.
We'll both wash your hair.
Miss Lee.
As you can see...
This place is a dump.
We can barely keep it running as it is.
My old glory days
are long gone!
Go away!
His name is Yeung.
He's my son.
Your son?
What's he got to do with me?
He's your son, too.
I want...
Stop right there!
What gives?
You bring some kid here
and tell me he's my son!
You don't see me doing the same to you!
I've made an appointment at a lab.
Take a DNA test whenever you want.
Here's 50 grand.
I want him to stay with you for a month.
After that...
You'll get another 50 grand.
For a month?
Who knows if I'll still
be alive in a month?
With all the debts you owe,
you should consider this.
What debts?
What the hell do you mean?
You sound crazy.
Water...
Stop playing tough.
What do you want me to do?
Be his dad for a month.
Sure.
If you're fine with him turning into me,
then leave him here.
I'll do all I can to be a bad influence.
In a month...
I'll come back for him.
Still remember...
what Mama told you?
Yup.
Can you give my son a haircut?
Sure thing.
Thank you.
Welcome.
Remember the 50 grand
at the end of the month.
Listen, kid.
It's only a month.
Stay out of my way.
If you're cool, I'm cool.
So you'd better behave.
Flower,
deal with him.
Cousin,
that 50 grand...
I'll count it for you.
Back the hell off!
Is this for real or what?
I've had a ton of girls.
Is it so surprising
that I'd have a kid?
Get your hair washed.
Water.
He doesn't really look like you.
I think he looks like you.
Fat Dog,
come dry my hair.
Hey, kid.
Want your hair washed?
It's washed!
Straight to the cut, then.
Not like this!
How else should I cut your hair
kiddo?
Mama said you'd cut my hair.
Sure.
But don't you see I'm busy?
Be patient.
Take a seat, kiddo.
I want to go home.
I want to go home!
Kiddo! What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Don't you dare cost me that 100 grand.
Sit down.
Sit the hell down!
Grab him!
Grab him!
Water... Huh?
The kid doesn't seem right.
How so?
We have a student like him at school.
Can't stand being touched, too.
Seriously?
Yes.
Let's see.
Go!
A pair of three.
A pair of eight.
I called you a dozen times!
Go home.
Go home!
Get out of here!
You're getting on my nerves!
Stop hovering over me!
Take your ass home!
Ignore her.
Keep playing.
Don't touch my deuces.
Where are you off to?
Stop right there!
Finally headed home?
Time to pay up.
I just need to talk to her.
Just a minute.
Think you can hide forever?
Go to hell!
Bastard.
You prick!
You have two days.
If you don't pay up,
you're dead!
Let's go!
Stop squealing like a pig.
Is it hurting here? Yes.
You filthy pig.
Everyone...
This is our school's
social worker, Miss Ma.
Hi.
She's here...
to see if she can give us a hand.
He's right there.
That's a real looker.
Wonder how well she rides.
Learn some respect.
You brute!
Yeung?
Hi.
My name is Angelina.
Can I take a look at that?
Yeung's mom knows he
has trouble communicating,
so she marked down his daily tasks
on this phone
and set alarms for everything.
I don't need him to communicate.
Just stop him from losing his marbles.
People with autism are afraid
of bodily contact.
If you force it on them,
they'll just get more worked up.
Yeung's case isn't that severe, actually.
He's an Aries
born in the year of the rabbit.
He'll bring you fortune.
Really?
That's crazy.
I'm an Aries,
but he doesn't give me any affection.
Seriously...
That woman
is tricking you into playing daddy.
Yes?
Don't get trapped.
Oh.
Give that back!
Stop it or you will be sorry.
Calm down...
Stop... just give it to him.
Sit down.
Sit down.
You know...
if you guys can't handle him,
I can ask Social Welfare
to take care of him.
She's right, Water.
You saw how he is.
You can't even touch him.
You can't possibly handle him.
Impossible?
Nothing's impossible.
Kid.
Can I have a sausage?
Yup.
He even unwrapped it.
He's sharing food,
he's letting me touch him.
Can I have that milk?
Why's that thing blaring?
7 o'clock.
Time to eat.
You want to eat?
That's easy.
Chinese, Japanese, Korean,
Singapore, Malaysian, Thai,
Vietnam, Indonesian,
All in one bag.
Take whatever you want.
Can you cook?
Yes.
Clever boy.
Toothbrush, toothpaste...
pillow and blanket.
And you're all set.
When you're done eating,
brush your teeth,
wash up and go to bed, okay?
Okay.
You're not retarded after all.
You know everything.
I'm autistic, not retarded!
Same difference.
No!
Autistic people aren't good at speaking.
Retarded people aren't good at anything.
I got it.
Autistic people are awesome.
No!
Autistic people aren't good at speaking.
Awesome people are good at everything.
I'm autistic,
not awesome.
I'm autistic...
Just shut it! not awesome.
Stop blabbering.
If it wasn't for your mom's money,
you can go to hell for all I care!
Listen up.
Don't go anywhere.
You give me any trouble,
you're really gonna get it.
You hear me?!
Do you hear me?!
I do.
Make yourself at home.
Small...
1, 2 and 5 for a total of 8, small.
I'm following your lead,
so don't lose.
Blow the card for me, cousin.
Blow it.
I'll blow for you.
Your breath stinks, man.
Let's do it.
"Blow and blow,"
The gust blows on...
Got it!
I got your luck.
What a blow.
You again?
I sense danger.
10 grand.
All in.
You...
show me what you got.
Four deuces.
Wait.
I win!
Pay up!
Sir. Deuces isn't the high card in poker.
The four threes wins.
Mama.
Yeung.
How are you?
I miss Mama.
Is he treating you well?
Don't know.
Barely see him.
Yeung...
Mama won't be able to
call you every day for a while.
Take good care of yourself.
Do you understand?
Yup.
Remember what Mama said.
OK.
Do what Water tells you to do.
So...
I have to go.
Bye.
Bye bye.
Getting easy money.
I am way too lucky...
What the...?
Is this my place?
Why's it so clean?
You.
Did you clean the place up?
Yup.
Wow... You're pretty good.
Time to eat.
I'm in a good mood.
Let's eat something good.
Come on.
Let's go!
Getting easy money...
Time to go!
Move it!
People will think I'm being abusive.
I got you a feast
and you eat that instead.
You full?
Yup.
Let's go get cleaned up.
Yiu!
Check!
Coming.
Kid.
Your old man's mouth stinks.
Kid.
Your old man's a stuck up.
Kid.
Water.
You promised to take
me out for crab congee.
Did you forget about me?
We'll have crab next time.
Get me a deck of cards.
Already?
If you say so.
Let's see if you're a
lucky charm after all.
Get it? Got it.
Do you understand? Understood.
Here we go. Let's go.
All right.
Here.
A... K...
Seriously?
Again.
A... K...
Get up.
Get changed.
Where are we going?
Theme park.
OK
No more bets.
Look closley.
Keep your eyes on that card.
Blackjack.
What's that alarm for?
Another hand, sir?
Time to sleep.
Can't you stay up a little longer?
How will you get rich when you grow up?
One more game, then I'll buy you ice cream.
Yup. Sit properly.
Doesn't she look like the cartoon mouse?
Place your bet.
Don't yawn.
Act tough.
That's enough,
stop.
That's 18.
Hit or stand?
Hit! Stand!
Do you want it or not?
Hit!
That's 21.
Boss.
Where are you going?
Need to poop.
Over there.
Go over there.
Toilet...
Going home.
Let me collect my money first!
My money...
Boss...
Are you done yet?
We have to go back!
Time to make dough!
It stinks in here!
Gosh.
How can you sleep there?
Hey. Wake up!
Listening to music on the toilet...
Get up!
That stinks!
And I have to wipe your ass, too.
Damn it. This is bad.
Oh god...
No...
Tart, you scared the hell out of me.
What's the matter?
Something wrong with your wife?
My wife's fine.
Something's wrong with you.
What's wrong with me?
You owe me money, that's what.
I hear you won some money last night.
It's time to pay your debt.
I don't owe you that much, Prince Kei.
Why come collect it yourself?
The principal and interest
add up to $84,920.
80 grand.
Give me my change.
Are you for real?
I didn't even charge a penalty.
And you want change?
Of course.
The principal was 20 grand.
I already paid you 20 grand in interest.
You call yourself generous?
How did it grow to 85 grand?
I got 80 bucks, Boss.
You deserve to be a loser.
Thanks, Brother Water.
If you need anything, call me directly.
Don't get swindled by middlemen.
Thanks, boss.
Kid! Get up!
I'm out of money!
We have to make some dough!
Hey kid.
Don't sleep.
Get up! I'm out of money!
What the hell are you?
Piece of trash.
Go to hell.
Help me out.
Bless me...
my friend.
Seven.
Act tough.
I'm going to get you.
Big!
Big...
1, 1 and 2 for total of 4, small.
Take five, everyone.
Stretch those muscles.
After the break,
we'll do another 5 kilometers. OK?
Water!
What?
No!
Why's your head here?!
Why...
How did this happen?!
Brother Bruce, it's not me.
Brother Bruce,
I really didn't do this.
Don't punish me.
Get your ass out here, you punk!
Get out here!
You didn't come home last night.
There was a rat.
What rat?
You're the damn rat!
I warned you...
not to mess up my home.
It's not my fault.
What part of it do you not understand?
It's the rat.
Rat?
There was a rat. It's not my fault.
Fighting back now?
All right, then. I didn't do it.
Since your mother didn't
teach you properly...
There was a rat!
A rat, huh...?!
There was a rat!
You can't hide!
Come here.
I said come here.
The phone!
The phone!
Don't play dead!
Get up and fight me.
Stop acting!
Get up!
Get the hell up!
Water!
He... He's catching a rat.
Don't be afraid...
Don't move.
Don't be scared, Yeung.
What happened?
Got in a fight?
He tripped and fell.
Sure.
People trip and fall
in Macau every day.
Don't move now...
He's a gambling addict.
He's not capable of caring for Yeung.
Don't move.
I can get Social Welfare to take Yeung.
Let me talk to him.
What's the matter with you?
You went gambling for two nights
and left your son by himself.
Then you come home and bash his head?
I didn't do that.
He was with me the first half of the night.
But he wanted to go home and sleep.
You brought the kid into a casino?
You've been gambling for decades.
You've gambled everything away!
When are you going to wake up?
All those years ago
when you fled back to Macau,
if Flower and I didn't saved you,
you'd be dead on the street!
Where are you off to?
The casino! Try and stop me!
Water! Hey!
500 to change the monitor.
Extra 50 to back up the data.
Just change the monitor.
I'll have to reset the phone.
Just do it.
Out of sight, out of mind.
You sure?
You're in it.
Scroll up.
Your mom's looking for you.
Remember, we've been getting along.
Nothing unusual happened.
Watch what you say.
Yeung...
Are you okay?
Mama.
I miss Mama.
What did you do today?
I fought a mouse.
The house is messy.
People were jogging downstairs.
A plus K is 21.
We're getting along.
Good.
Mama's glad to hear
that you're okay.
Put him on the phone.
For you, Water.
Hello?
Is Yeung okay?
What can possibly go wrong?
We're having so much fun together.
Then why did he call me a dozen times?
How should I know?
Ask him yourself.
Hey.
I got a question.
Why'd you take so many pictures of me?
I hadn't seen you in years.
I didn't know what you look like now.
Worried about me, are ya?
If you don't trust me,
you shouldn't have left the kid with me.
He wanted to know what his dad's like.
So, I let him meet you
to see if he'd regret asking me.
Oh, yeah.
He says he's full of regrets.
He regrets not meeting me sooner!
Time to eat, see ya.
I didn't say that.
Don't make things up.
I'm sorry, then.
Apologize properly.
No "then".
It's impossible for me to say sorry.
I've got a straight
Get on your tricycles and go home...
Full house wins.
That's my third.
Boss. There's a girl looking for you.
Another chick? Give me a sec.
Be quick...
Hurry...
Get your butt back here soon.
Looking for me?
Hi, Mr. Ng.
I'm Lee Xi, the new social worker
at the Youth Detention Center.
Mr. Ma sent us here.
Skip the formalities.
Just call me Water.
You let kids from
the detention center work here
to give them a new lease on life.
You really are like a big brother.
I've brought
another kid here to meet you.
It's Shui...
Shui
Huh?
What the hell are you doing?
What are you doing?!
What did you do, Shui?
So I got unlucky and got caught.
Just call the cops.
Admit your mistakes.
And take your punishment properly.
Luck's got nothing to do with it.
Apologize to Mr. Ng.
For what?
Shui...
Take your time.
You can't rush him.
You promised to stay straight.
Shui... Come with me.
You're on probation.
You can't mess up again. Miss Lee?
Let's go. Come with me.
What the hell did he do?
Baldie!
What's going on?
Just shooting the breeze.
Let go of him.
If you let Shui deal drugs again,
I'll call the cops!
Who do you think you are talking to,
you nosy hag?
Take it easy, man.
She isn't just some chick.
A few words to the cops,
and she can send your ass to the slammer.
She's that powerful?
I'm taking her away now.
I promise she won't spill the beans.
I'm saving your ass, you get me?
I got you.
Let's grab a drink sometime.
Whatever you say...
Let's go.
Let me have a word with him.
You may believe in Jesus,
but you're not Jesus.
Amazing!
You brought him back to the flock.
You're better than Jesus!
Don't be blasphemous.
God will punish you for it.
Sure.
Hallelujah...
Ow...
Jeez louise...
Water?
Are you okay?
Oh, dear!
My heart's beating so fast.
Is it a heart attack?
Should I take you to a doctor?
Your boyfriend's a doctor?
I don't have a boyfriend.
Good to know.
Will you be my girlfriend?
But I'm leaving Hong Kong in September...
I'm just going on holiday.
Will you miss me?
I miss you already.
Are you okay now?
I am.
All good.
Why would you go on a trip to the desert?
Dessert sounds better to me.
There's nothing to eat in the desert.
That's exactly why I want to go.
There's nothing there.
Someone once told me that
people could discover their true selves
after crossing the desert.
I've heard that!
From that song...
"Finding Myself", right?
Where
can I go...
To find
myself...
Let the past
pass me by...
I'm no longer
lost in here...
"I'm no longer"
"lost in here..."
"I will no longer..."
You're so petty!
Hey you are a man. Don't be so petty.
Tell you what. Take this.
I'll let you hit me back.
Wait.
Just a tap.
Don't hit my face.
I make my living with it.
Go easy.
Yup.
Ow!
What the hell was that?
I hit your head.
Not your face.
You...
Go easy.
You tripped and fell, too?
You don't say.
Will it leave a scar?
If you don't want a scar...
go get plastic surgery in Korea!
Ow, that stings!
Stop moving.
It's bad...
You stuff your ears all day.
What do you listen to?
Taylor Swift?
BTS?
I listen to home.
Ten OK?
Is that Korean?
I just hear door openning.
Shush...
Mama's home.
Yeung.
Mama's not feeling so well today.
I can't make dinner.
Let's eat out.
I'll cook.
No...
I don't want instant noodles.
I'll make congee.
Mr. Ho taught me how to make congee.
You're all grown up. Yup.
Mama's not feeling well.
I'll make congee.
Good son.
What are you recording?
Mama's voice.
Come on, don't do that.
My voice sounds terrible.
Mama sounds nice.
Mama sounds nice.
Really? Is it nice?
Good night, Mama.
"Son Typing..."
"Son Online"
"Son"
Would it kill you to eat before the alarm?
Hey.
When you were living with your mom,
did you ever ask... where your dad was?
I asked.
What did she say?
The first time I asked,
Mama hit me.
The second time I asked,
Mama hit me.
The third time I asked,
Mama hit me.
I didn't ask a fourth time,
Mama didn't hit me.
Hey. Did you think I'm handsome
when you saw my photo?
Ugly.
I'm ugly?
Yup.
If I'm so ugly,
why your mum sent you here
to stay with me?
You and your mom must be
doing this to mess with me.
Hey, buddy!
Yes.
Check the bill.
Sure.
$412.00. Change, please.
What should I do?
Keep it.
Looks like I won't have time
for the casino for a while.
That's good.
Thanks.
Keep the change, right?
Yeah.
No time for the casino.
No time for the casino.
No time for the casino.
Bruce Lee...
Hollywood screen test!
Action!
You put water in hotpot,
it becomes hotpot.
Bless me,
my friend.
Cut. Good take.
Let me see the playback.
Water!
Yes.
It's teapot, not hotpot.
You challenging the director?
Bruce Lee liked tea, so he said teapot.
I like hotpot, so I say hotpot!
Time to eat.
Stop nagging like your mom.
Loudmouth.
Why the hell are you so fat?
I got a bowl bigger than a hat.
Whoa Whoa Whoa!
Why do you have a son?
Cuz my libido was second to none.
Whoa Whoa Whoa!
Hi.
Ew!
I'm done.
Kiddo,
good job cleaning up.
When you're free, come over
and clean my place.
Yup. Don't even think about it.
I hope these next two weeks
go by in a flash,
then his mom can get him out of my hair.
Wait.
But you wanted me to ask Angelina
to get him a job interview
at the sheltered workshop.
Hey, I just wanted to give you
a chance to see her.
Don't drag me into this, man.
Just admit that you care about your son.
I bet you wanted to ask her out.
Oh, Angelina!
A new dessert place opened nearby!
Very Italiano.
It was just a meal with a colleague.
Delicious. Eat her up.
What a foodie.
A tiramisu with Angelina!
Must've been yummy!
None of your business.
Chi Chi Cha!
Eat her up.
Boom Boom Pa.
I was just bonding with a colleague...
What else could it be?
Eat her up, eat her up!
Chi Chi Cha, Boom Boom Pa!
Yum Chik! Yum Chik! Yum Chik Chik!
Chi Chi Cha, Boom Boom Pa!
Chi Chi Cha, Boom Boom Pa...
You're in a good mood, Water.
Where's my money?
What money?
I thought you cleared the debt already.
I did.
He did pay back
the 85 grand he owed me.
But then Water turned around
and borrowed from me again.
Water...
You're gambling again?
You're insane!
Hey...
Prince Kei...
I told you I'd have 50 grand
at the end of the month.
Why are you here so early?
There's also the interest.
If I wait, you may not have the money.
Got it, boss.
Bring it over!
Why are you standing there?!
Damn imbecile.
Two grand.
This two grand
will cover today's interest.
Thanks, boss.
As always...
Don't borrow if you can't repay.
And don't get swindled by middlemen.
Remember! Don't... No...
Watch those middlemen...
No...
Boss!
Boss, are you okay?
You damn punk! Yeung, run...!
Get him!
Boss...
Are you okay?
Get him!
Stop!
Stop right there!
Stop running! Stop!
Run, Water!
Let's go!
Yeung...
Wait!
Hurry up...
Water!
Yeung!
Wait for us!
You okay, Water?
Go...
Water.
That felt good.
Good...
I feel good, too.
Look, Water...
Let's call the cops.
Go take a stroll with Fong Sir.
I'll be home later.
We'll get late supper.
Where are you off to, Water?
I'm off to die.
Wanna come?
What the hell are you looking at?
Beat it!
Scram!
Here you are.
Let's get to work.
How dare you?
Water...
Cousin.
Water... Cousin.
Back to beg for mercy, barber man?
Prince Kei...
I made you mad today.
That's on me.
It has nothing to do with them.
Please let them go.
Am I an unreasonable man?
Your son hit me.
It's natural that I hit him back.
You're right.
You're right.
I didn't teach my son well.
How much do you want?
Name a price.
Want to bargain with me?
All right.
Let me think about it.
Get off!
That hurts.
Go on!
Water!
Perfect.
The family's reunited.
Here's my price.
However your son hit me...
Hit him the same way.
Okay?
Prince Kei.
Please have mercy.
Don't punish a kid.
He's a little nutty, you know.
You're the nut!
What kind of father
calls his own son nutty?
You're a prick!
A first-class prick!
Water.
I'll get this little bastard.
Stop, Yeung.
Bastard.
Prince Kei...
You're right.
I was wrong.
I really am a prick.
If you're gonna hit anyone,
hit this prick right here.
Please don't touch the boy.
Prince Kei. Please let him go.
Let him go, please?
Prince Kei.
Prick!
Does it hurt?
Oh, man.
But now I think
it's more fun to hit your nutty son.
Prince Kei!
Stop, Prince Kei!
Stop.
Prince Kei!
Stop, Prince Kei...!
Don't...! Put the knife down...!
Let him go.
Even if he makes it tonight,
he won't make it tomorrow.
You won't make it tonight, either!
No one will!
Let's all go down!
If anyone gets close,
I'll kill him!
Boss Shui.
I'd like a haircut.
Are you free?
I come here all the time.
You get that?
I got it...
Let's go!
It's late.
Keep it down.
Yes, sir.
Water!
What kind of cut would you like?
A simple trim will do.
Yes, Boss Shui.
Just call me Shui.
Are you...
You're really Shui?
Let's grab a drink sometime.
That guy sticks to me like glue.
Even I had to tell him
to scram a few times.
Please wait for a moment. Be patient.
Water Water's back!
You making up stories again, Fat Dog?
Don't mind him.
Water. Morning...
Fong Sir's been waiting forever.
You're so cool, Water! Cut the crap.
You're so hot! Go to work.
Come on, Kuen.
I'll cut your hair.
Don't worry.
He's fine.
He woke up in early morning
and cleaned the toilet well.
Hey,
are you free tomorrow?
Why?
Yesterday, when we were being chased
by Kei's men...
Yeung sprinted to the top of the hill.
Didn't even need to catch his breath.
Angelina said that...
autistic people...
tend to be stronger than normal people
in repetitive movements.
Running...
is a repetitive movement.
Yeung...
may have talent in long-distance running.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Take five.
Have some water if you need to.
OK? OK...
Let's start with a 1,500-meter jog.
Five-minute pace.
Yeung.
Follow these guys.
If you can follow, great.
But don't force yourself.
Ready?
Start running.
Why don't you run?
Need to poop?
No.
Don't need to poop.
Don't force him.
Let him adapt to his surroundings first.
Fine...
How about this. I'll take your backpack
and chill over there.
You adapt all you want.
No rush. Take your time.
OK?
Boss, what's up?
No.
I have a condition!
This is good.
Go with your son, it'll fix your condition.
Stop.
I have a weak heart.
I really do.
Go ask your mom about it.
I am going to have a heart attack.
Speed up.
I can't. My heart is beating too fast.
Hurry up!
Let me go.
I... I really can't.
Go away.
Get lost.
This is too much for me.
Why are you doing this?
You are killing me.
My heart is stopping.
It stopped.
I am dead.
You keep going.
Just leave me here.
Don't come back. Water.
Run!
You go and have fun.
Let me die here.
Water.
You all right?
You used to be on the school's track team.
I joined the track team
to meet girls.
You still remember.
Of course I do.
You took the girl that I had a crush on!
Did I?
Okay!
Give me another 1,500 meters!
Always playing dumb...
Give me back that wig! Water.
I'm having stroke... Water.
Let me go! Run.
Water.
Get up!
1, 2, 3, 4
5, 6, 7...
Hey!
Hurry!
2 kilometres.
Ready.
Yeung.
Get running!
Water?
Water?
I run... you run.
Understand?
Understand!
My life has no despair,
when poker chips are all I care.
Hurry.
Don't stop.
Quick.
Water.
Yea?
Why do you keep telling that figure,
Bless me,
my friend?
It's nothing,
just want to be blessed.
Oh.
OK...
Hey... Ouch... Cramp...
Ready.
It's perfect.
One more...
Don't speed up yet.
We've got 10 k to go.
Are you okay? Yeah.
Boss. Take a booster.
Have one!
Have one...
Don't mess around.
You still haven't paid for your wig.
Come on.
It's hot, careful.
Hey, buddy...!
I thought you wanted to talk.
Weak.
Good night, Mama.
Hey!
Let's go, man!
It's time to eat!
What are you doing?
What are you looking at?
Mama said she'll take me to the desert.
Yeah?
Why haven't you gone?
Mama told me to stay with you.
So we haven't gone.
Come on.
I'll take you when I'm rich.
Bring Mama along with us.
Your old lady hates me.
She wants nothing to do with me.
Call her Mama instead of old lady,
then she won't hate you.
It's not that easy!
Your old lady's a pain in the ass.
Mama, not old lady!
Mama, not old lady!
No more old lady!
I'll call her Mama.
Can we go now, Mama?
Yup.
Come on
Ng Kwong-fai.
Am I sick or what?
Mama.
Mama.
Mama...
Hey.
When you go home to your mom,
will you...
miss me a little bit?
I already miss you.
I've never seen him cut
with such care before.
Crap.
He's attached to the kid.
What do you think?
I'll miss you.
If you need a haircut,
just tell your mother
to bring you here.
Yup.
I got here in time. Fong Sir!
Fong Sir. Go eat.
Do we get any? He bought you desserts.
Of course. There's food.
I was at lunch just now.
I ordered extra.
That's too much.
Angelina says
eating sweets makes a person happy.
That's true. That's true.
Sweets stimulate the pituitary gland
to release dolphins.
Endorphin, Fat Dog,
not dolphins!
It's not dolphins?
That's an animal, man.
What about Beethoven?
That's music!
Yummy.
That's delicious.
Mama.
Yummy.
Have this one...
Yup.
Eat up.
Hello?
Miss Lee was diagnosed
with stomach cancer.
Last month...
she finally agreed to have surgery.
But she's always been in poor health.
She still hasn't recovered
from the surgery.
Last night, there was massive bleeding
on the wound.
She's been unconscious since.
The doctor says we need
to prepare for the worst.
She's a tough woman.
She hated asking for favors.
She suddenly asked me to
track you down a while ago.
I had no idea why at the time,
but now I know.
She was worried that
when she dies,
Yeung will be left all alone.
Yeung, where have you gone?
I've waited an hour for you.
Call me.
Mama's on the way, okay?
Mama, wake up.
Yeung, wait for me at school.
Don't go anywhere.
Your teacher called to praise you.
He said you helped other
students at school.
Mama, wake up. You're such a good boy.
Take the no. 18 bus downstairs...
all the way to the terminus.
Mama. I'll be waiting there.
Remember, no. 18 bus.
Mama.
Mama's up.
Mama's up.
Let me take a look.
Miss Lee.
Can you hear me?
I'll get the doctor.
Yeung...
Mama's better...
Mama's better...
Mama.
Mama.
Mama.
Mama, wake up.
Mama, wake up.
Mama.
Mama!
Mama!
Mama!
Wake up!
Mama!
Mama!
Be quiet.
Let Mama rest.
Mama.
Be good.
Get up.
Let Mama rest.
Come on.
Let's get out.
Come on, Yeung.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry...
"I want to apologize to you."
"Son Typing..."
"I want to apologize to you."
"Son Online"
"Son"
I never had the courage
to apologize to you.
Don't worry...
I'll take good care of Yeung.
Mama's home.
Yeung,
Mama's not feeling so well today.
I can't make dinner.
Let's eat out.
I'll cook.
No...
I don't want instant noodles.
I'll make congee.
Mr. Ho taught me how to make congee.
You're all grown up.
Yup.
Mama's not feeling well,
I'll make congee.
Son.
Why are you crying?
Are you feeling ill, son?
Mama's got you...
Don't cry...
Mama's got you...
Why won't you learn?
Write properly.
No more doodling. No.
Write here. Here.
Wait...
It's time to eat.
No way.
Write here.
Good.
That's right.
Not like this.
Don't draw...
Stop doodling.
You can draw afterwards.
Okay?
Happy birthday.
Write.
Look at what Mama got
you for your birthday.
I made it myself.
Try it on.
Go on.
Careful.
Let's see if it fits.
Yes.
It's nice.
Have you grown taller?
It looks short.
Son, I promise...
when I get better,
we'll go together.
Yup!
I'll take you there for sure...
Mama, why are you crying?
Mama's happy...
about taking you on a trip...
Hey.
Time to eat.
Fai.
Miss Lee left this for you.
Before she died,
she arranged a dormitory for Yeung.
Even when he's there,
you can visit him whenever you want.
Yeung's my son.
He should be with me.
Have a bite.
Can you really handle him?
He can do so much on his own.
He doesn't need my care.
Perhaps...
he could take care of me in the future.
That's exactly why I want to go,
there's nothing there.
Someone once told me that
people could discover their true selves
after crossing the desert.
Where...
can I go...
to find...
myself...
The past...
is just a memory
I'm lost
in despair
Where...
can I go...
to find...
myself...
Let the past...
pass me by
I'm no longer...
lost in this place...
Don't play dead, man.
Here.
Don't throw a tantrum.
You're the one who wanted to train.
Crawl back home if you can't stand it.
Papa.
Bless me...
My friend.
You!
Don't bully me!
Ah-cha!
Ah-cha!
Ah-cha!
Stop running. Chase me...
Chase me...
"I must find myself"
Water.
What's up?
It costs a lot to raise a kid.
Thank you.
It's okay.
Get up.
Keep going.
You can do this!
Water.
Water!
Keep it up...
We almost finish.
Keep going.
Hang in there!
Don't give up...
We're there!
Just a few more steps.
Thank you.
Are we there yet?
Let me check.
This way.
We're almost there.
One o'clock direction.
Papa.
Hurry.
Hey!
It's this way.
Anything you want to say to Mama?
Mama.
You're finally where you wanted to be.
Don't worry.
I'm all grown up now.
I will take care of myself.
My wife...
I don't have much in this life.
Thank you for giving me a son.
Good night, Mama.
Papa.
Why's your name Kwong-fai ("Glorious")?
Your grandpa said that...
a person must be upstanding
and have great achievements in life.
That's why he gave me that name.
But he forgot that our family name
is "Ng", which also means "not".
Papa.
What?
Papa!
Speak.
Papa!
What do you want?
Your old man's mouth stinks.
You brat,
teasing your grandpa now?
Come back here! Papa.
You will be sorry when I get you.
Your old man's a stuck up.
Come here.
I said come here.
Don't be your old man...
Once upon a time
I was searching for this moment
For an oasis filled with hope
An oasis of memories
Pursuit was replaced by sorrow
I found freedom, but never got complacent
How many lifetimes must pass?
How many sunny days must go by?
Before we get what we want?
How many were misunderstood?
How many were hurt along the way?
How many pure hearts remain?
Day after day
We cross the horizon
Even as darkness approaches
The dawn blossoms forever...
It's a sign.
Go...
Go...
Laser Beam...
Laser Beam...
Yeah!
We're in the laser beam...
Rocking and rolling!
Let's get paid!
Place your bets.
You'll hear from us.
Thank you,
Goodbye.
Boss Shui...
It's only the $1,000 table.
Thanks.
We're up 70 grand.
Let's go.
Hell no.
If you weren't nagging just now,
I'd be up 100 grand!
I would've covered my debt
to Tart and had extra!
You already have enough.
Let's go, man.
Wait.
You got an epiphany?
Look at that fatso's face.
He's definitely in a slump.
Kick him while he's down.
Let's clear him out.
Put 20 grand aside first.
Let's see your cards.
You show me yours!
Full house aces.
Ladies and gentlemen...
Four sixes.
Four sixes wins.
You've won, baby.
I told you to put 20 grand aside.
Shut it.
Money must hate you.
You're wiped out.
It's time to go home.
He's right.
You pouring salt on my wounds?
Scram!
He's lost it.
I called you a dozen times.
Hey!
Where are you off to?!
What are you looking at?
You've been out of it lately.
I want to see if it's raining.
Worried about Tart coming to collect?
Cousin.
Don't worry.
Flower stashed away 10 grand
at the casino
and paid the interest for you.
Nosy jerk! You stole 10 grand
and gave it to Tart?!
You broke my luck
and made me lose everything!
What's he angry about now?
Fong Sir.
Water lost...
Stop talking.
I'll tape your mouth shut.
Trim the sides...
and back as always?
No...
A new style this time.
Anything new?
Got anything hip, but graceful?
I got you...
I know exactly what you need.
Pick one.
These are all long...
My hair's so short.
It's impossible.
Nothing's impossible in this salon!
Wait.
Take a look at this.
Looking spiffy!
But... that's a wig.
Made with real hair!
Is this a prank?
No way, it'll withstand a typhoon.
Shake it!
Such a stud!
So handsome.
All the girls will be screaming for you.
You'll be the talk of the town.
No one can resist you!
My brother...
So rad!
This is great!
I look so stylish!
I told you.
Look.
A knockout!
Let me go wash my hands.
Looking great, Fong Sir.
All of Coloane knows that a goddess
just joined your school.
All the male teachers
are turning into oppas.
That's not funny.
Does she teach phys ed?
Let's invite her to a swim.
I'd like to work on my...
doggy style. What your mouth, man.
She's the school's new social worker.
Huh? A social worker?
Don't go for it.
Social workers are real pests.
Real control freaks!
Just hit it and walk away.
Look, I...
Once she gets attached,
I promise
you'll...
Have no freedom!
Lose your freedom!
Be in agony and tears!
Took a wrong step...
Stumbled and fell...
Bent over...
Hey, hottie.
Need a haircut?
Which stylist would you like?
I'm looking for him.
I'm booked full this week.
Try next month.
There's a kid I'd like you to take in.
Oppa!
Let's get your hair washed.
Looks like something's going down.
Let's go.
We'll both wash your hair.
Miss Lee.
As you can see...
This place is a dump.
We can barely keep it running as it is.
My old glory days
are long gone!
Go away!
His name is Yeung.
He's my son.
Your son?
What's he got to do with me?
He's your son, too.
I want...
Stop right there!
What gives?
You bring some kid here
and tell me he's my son!
You don't see me doing the same to you!
I've made an appointment at a lab.
Take a DNA test whenever you want.
Here's 50 grand.
I want him to stay with you for a month.
After that...
You'll get another 50 grand.
For a month?
Who knows if I'll still
be alive in a month?
With all the debts you owe,
you should consider this.
What debts?
What the hell do you mean?
You sound crazy.
Water...
Stop playing tough.
What do you want me to do?
Be his dad for a month.
Sure.
If you're fine with him turning into me,
then leave him here.
I'll do all I can to be a bad influence.
In a month...
I'll come back for him.
Still remember...
what Mama told you?
Yup.
Can you give my son a haircut?
Sure thing.
Thank you.
Welcome.
Remember the 50 grand
at the end of the month.
Listen, kid.
It's only a month.
Stay out of my way.
If you're cool, I'm cool.
So you'd better behave.
Flower,
deal with him.
Cousin,
that 50 grand...
I'll count it for you.
Back the hell off!
Is this for real or what?
I've had a ton of girls.
Is it so surprising
that I'd have a kid?
Get your hair washed.
Water.
He doesn't really look like you.
I think he looks like you.
Fat Dog,
come dry my hair.
Hey, kid.
Want your hair washed?
It's washed!
Straight to the cut, then.
Not like this!
How else should I cut your hair
kiddo?
Mama said you'd cut my hair.
Sure.
But don't you see I'm busy?
Be patient.
Take a seat, kiddo.
I want to go home.
I want to go home!
Kiddo! What are you doing?
Where are you going?
Don't you dare cost me that 100 grand.
Sit down.
Sit the hell down!
Grab him!
Grab him!
Water... Huh?
The kid doesn't seem right.
How so?
We have a student like him at school.
Can't stand being touched, too.
Seriously?
Yes.
Let's see.
Go!
A pair of three.
A pair of eight.
I called you a dozen times!
Go home.
Go home!
Get out of here!
You're getting on my nerves!
Stop hovering over me!
Take your ass home!
Ignore her.
Keep playing.
Don't touch my deuces.
Where are you off to?
Stop right there!
Finally headed home?
Time to pay up.
I just need to talk to her.
Just a minute.
Think you can hide forever?
Go to hell!
Bastard.
You prick!
You have two days.
If you don't pay up,
you're dead!
Let's go!
Stop squealing like a pig.
Is it hurting here? Yes.
You filthy pig.
Everyone...
This is our school's
social worker, Miss Ma.
Hi.
She's here...
to see if she can give us a hand.
He's right there.
That's a real looker.
Wonder how well she rides.
Learn some respect.
You brute!
Yeung?
Hi.
My name is Angelina.
Can I take a look at that?
Yeung's mom knows he
has trouble communicating,
so she marked down his daily tasks
on this phone
and set alarms for everything.
I don't need him to communicate.
Just stop him from losing his marbles.
People with autism are afraid
of bodily contact.
If you force it on them,
they'll just get more worked up.
Yeung's case isn't that severe, actually.
He's an Aries
born in the year of the rabbit.
He'll bring you fortune.
Really?
That's crazy.
I'm an Aries,
but he doesn't give me any affection.
Seriously...
That woman
is tricking you into playing daddy.
Yes?
Don't get trapped.
Oh.
Give that back!
Stop it or you will be sorry.
Calm down...
Stop... just give it to him.
Sit down.
Sit down.
You know...
if you guys can't handle him,
I can ask Social Welfare
to take care of him.
She's right, Water.
You saw how he is.
You can't even touch him.
You can't possibly handle him.
Impossible?
Nothing's impossible.
Kid.
Can I have a sausage?
Yup.
He even unwrapped it.
He's sharing food,
he's letting me touch him.
Can I have that milk?
Why's that thing blaring?
7 o'clock.
Time to eat.
You want to eat?
That's easy.
Chinese, Japanese, Korean,
Singapore, Malaysian, Thai,
Vietnam, Indonesian,
All in one bag.
Take whatever you want.
Can you cook?
Yes.
Clever boy.
Toothbrush, toothpaste...
pillow and blanket.
And you're all set.
When you're done eating,
brush your teeth,
wash up and go to bed, okay?
Okay.
You're not retarded after all.
You know everything.
I'm autistic, not retarded!
Same difference.
No!
Autistic people aren't good at speaking.
Retarded people aren't good at anything.
I got it.
Autistic people are awesome.
No!
Autistic people aren't good at speaking.
Awesome people are good at everything.
I'm autistic,
not awesome.
I'm autistic...
Just shut it! not awesome.
Stop blabbering.
If it wasn't for your mom's money,
you can go to hell for all I care!
Listen up.
Don't go anywhere.
You give me any trouble,
you're really gonna get it.
You hear me?!
Do you hear me?!
I do.
Make yourself at home.
Small...
1, 2 and 5 for a total of 8, small.
I'm following your lead,
so don't lose.
Blow the card for me, cousin.
Blow it.
I'll blow for you.
Your breath stinks, man.
Let's do it.
"Blow and blow,"
The gust blows on...
Got it!
I got your luck.
What a blow.
You again?
I sense danger.
10 grand.
All in.
You...
show me what you got.
Four deuces.
Wait.
I win!
Pay up!
Sir. Deuces isn't the high card in poker.
The four threes wins.
Mama.
Yeung.
How are you?
I miss Mama.
Is he treating you well?
Don't know.
Barely see him.
Yeung...
Mama won't be able to
call you every day for a while.
Take good care of yourself.
Do you understand?
Yup.
Remember what Mama said.
OK.
Do what Water tells you to do.
So...
I have to go.
Bye.
Bye bye.
Getting easy money.
I am way too lucky...
What the...?
Is this my place?
Why's it so clean?
You.
Did you clean the place up?
Yup.
Wow... You're pretty good.
Time to eat.
I'm in a good mood.
Let's eat something good.
Come on.
Let's go!
Getting easy money...
Time to go!
Move it!
People will think I'm being abusive.
I got you a feast
and you eat that instead.
You full?
Yup.
Let's go get cleaned up.
Yiu!
Check!
Coming.
Kid.
Your old man's mouth stinks.
Kid.
Your old man's a stuck up.
Kid.
Water.
You promised to take
me out for crab congee.
Did you forget about me?
We'll have crab next time.
Get me a deck of cards.
Already?
If you say so.
Let's see if you're a
lucky charm after all.
Get it? Got it.
Do you understand? Understood.
Here we go. Let's go.
All right.
Here.
A... K...
Seriously?
Again.
A... K...
Get up.
Get changed.
Where are we going?
Theme park.
OK
No more bets.
Look closley.
Keep your eyes on that card.
Blackjack.
What's that alarm for?
Another hand, sir?
Time to sleep.
Can't you stay up a little longer?
How will you get rich when you grow up?
One more game, then I'll buy you ice cream.
Yup. Sit properly.
Doesn't she look like the cartoon mouse?
Place your bet.
Don't yawn.
Act tough.
That's enough,
stop.
That's 18.
Hit or stand?
Hit! Stand!
Do you want it or not?
Hit!
That's 21.
Boss.
Where are you going?
Need to poop.
Over there.
Go over there.
Toilet...
Going home.
Let me collect my money first!
My money...
Boss...
Are you done yet?
We have to go back!
Time to make dough!
It stinks in here!
Gosh.
How can you sleep there?
Hey. Wake up!
Listening to music on the toilet...
Get up!
That stinks!
And I have to wipe your ass, too.
Damn it. This is bad.
Oh god...
No...
Tart, you scared the hell out of me.
What's the matter?
Something wrong with your wife?
My wife's fine.
Something's wrong with you.
What's wrong with me?
You owe me money, that's what.
I hear you won some money last night.
It's time to pay your debt.
I don't owe you that much, Prince Kei.
Why come collect it yourself?
The principal and interest
add up to $84,920.
80 grand.
Give me my change.
Are you for real?
I didn't even charge a penalty.
And you want change?
Of course.
The principal was 20 grand.
I already paid you 20 grand in interest.
You call yourself generous?
How did it grow to 85 grand?
I got 80 bucks, Boss.
You deserve to be a loser.
Thanks, Brother Water.
If you need anything, call me directly.
Don't get swindled by middlemen.
Thanks, boss.
Kid! Get up!
I'm out of money!
We have to make some dough!
Hey kid.
Don't sleep.
Get up! I'm out of money!
What the hell are you?
Piece of trash.
Go to hell.
Help me out.
Bless me...
my friend.
Seven.
Act tough.
I'm going to get you.
Big!
Big...
1, 1 and 2 for total of 4, small.
Take five, everyone.
Stretch those muscles.
After the break,
we'll do another 5 kilometers. OK?
Water!
What?
No!
Why's your head here?!
Why...
How did this happen?!
Brother Bruce, it's not me.
Brother Bruce,
I really didn't do this.
Don't punish me.
Get your ass out here, you punk!
Get out here!
You didn't come home last night.
There was a rat.
What rat?
You're the damn rat!
I warned you...
not to mess up my home.
It's not my fault.
What part of it do you not understand?
It's the rat.
Rat?
There was a rat. It's not my fault.
Fighting back now?
All right, then. I didn't do it.
Since your mother didn't
teach you properly...
There was a rat!
A rat, huh...?!
There was a rat!
You can't hide!
Come here.
I said come here.
The phone!
The phone!
Don't play dead!
Get up and fight me.
Stop acting!
Get up!
Get the hell up!
Water!
He... He's catching a rat.
Don't be afraid...
Don't move.
Don't be scared, Yeung.
What happened?
Got in a fight?
He tripped and fell.
Sure.
People trip and fall
in Macau every day.
Don't move now...
He's a gambling addict.
He's not capable of caring for Yeung.
Don't move.
I can get Social Welfare to take Yeung.
Let me talk to him.
What's the matter with you?
You went gambling for two nights
and left your son by himself.
Then you come home and bash his head?
I didn't do that.
He was with me the first half of the night.
But he wanted to go home and sleep.
You brought the kid into a casino?
You've been gambling for decades.
You've gambled everything away!
When are you going to wake up?
All those years ago
when you fled back to Macau,
if Flower and I didn't saved you,
you'd be dead on the street!
Where are you off to?
The casino! Try and stop me!
Water! Hey!
500 to change the monitor.
Extra 50 to back up the data.
Just change the monitor.
I'll have to reset the phone.
Just do it.
Out of sight, out of mind.
You sure?
You're in it.
Scroll up.
Your mom's looking for you.
Remember, we've been getting along.
Nothing unusual happened.
Watch what you say.
Yeung...
Are you okay?
Mama.
I miss Mama.
What did you do today?
I fought a mouse.
The house is messy.
People were jogging downstairs.
A plus K is 21.
We're getting along.
Good.
Mama's glad to hear
that you're okay.
Put him on the phone.
For you, Water.
Hello?
Is Yeung okay?
What can possibly go wrong?
We're having so much fun together.
Then why did he call me a dozen times?
How should I know?
Ask him yourself.
Hey.
I got a question.
Why'd you take so many pictures of me?
I hadn't seen you in years.
I didn't know what you look like now.
Worried about me, are ya?
If you don't trust me,
you shouldn't have left the kid with me.
He wanted to know what his dad's like.
So, I let him meet you
to see if he'd regret asking me.
Oh, yeah.
He says he's full of regrets.
He regrets not meeting me sooner!
Time to eat, see ya.
I didn't say that.
Don't make things up.
I'm sorry, then.
Apologize properly.
No "then".
It's impossible for me to say sorry.
I've got a straight
Get on your tricycles and go home...
Full house wins.
That's my third.
Boss. There's a girl looking for you.
Another chick? Give me a sec.
Be quick...
Hurry...
Get your butt back here soon.
Looking for me?
Hi, Mr. Ng.
I'm Lee Xi, the new social worker
at the Youth Detention Center.
Mr. Ma sent us here.
Skip the formalities.
Just call me Water.
You let kids from
the detention center work here
to give them a new lease on life.
You really are like a big brother.
I've brought
another kid here to meet you.
It's Shui...
Shui
Huh?
What the hell are you doing?
What are you doing?!
What did you do, Shui?
So I got unlucky and got caught.
Just call the cops.
Admit your mistakes.
And take your punishment properly.
Luck's got nothing to do with it.
Apologize to Mr. Ng.
For what?
Shui...
Take your time.
You can't rush him.
You promised to stay straight.
Shui... Come with me.
You're on probation.
You can't mess up again. Miss Lee?
Let's go. Come with me.
What the hell did he do?
Baldie!
What's going on?
Just shooting the breeze.
Let go of him.
If you let Shui deal drugs again,
I'll call the cops!
Who do you think you are talking to,
you nosy hag?
Take it easy, man.
She isn't just some chick.
A few words to the cops,
and she can send your ass to the slammer.
She's that powerful?
I'm taking her away now.
I promise she won't spill the beans.
I'm saving your ass, you get me?
I got you.
Let's grab a drink sometime.
Whatever you say...
Let's go.
Let me have a word with him.
You may believe in Jesus,
but you're not Jesus.
Amazing!
You brought him back to the flock.
You're better than Jesus!
Don't be blasphemous.
God will punish you for it.
Sure.
Hallelujah...
Ow...
Jeez louise...
Water?
Are you okay?
Oh, dear!
My heart's beating so fast.
Is it a heart attack?
Should I take you to a doctor?
Your boyfriend's a doctor?
I don't have a boyfriend.
Good to know.
Will you be my girlfriend?
But I'm leaving Hong Kong in September...
I'm just going on holiday.
Will you miss me?
I miss you already.
Are you okay now?
I am.
All good.
Why would you go on a trip to the desert?
Dessert sounds better to me.
There's nothing to eat in the desert.
That's exactly why I want to go.
There's nothing there.
Someone once told me that
people could discover their true selves
after crossing the desert.
I've heard that!
From that song...
"Finding Myself", right?
Where
can I go...
To find
myself...
Let the past
pass me by...
I'm no longer
lost in here...
"I'm no longer"
"lost in here..."
"I will no longer..."
You're so petty!
Hey you are a man. Don't be so petty.
Tell you what. Take this.
I'll let you hit me back.
Wait.
Just a tap.
Don't hit my face.
I make my living with it.
Go easy.
Yup.
Ow!
What the hell was that?
I hit your head.
Not your face.
You...
Go easy.
You tripped and fell, too?
You don't say.
Will it leave a scar?
If you don't want a scar...
go get plastic surgery in Korea!
Ow, that stings!
Stop moving.
It's bad...
You stuff your ears all day.
What do you listen to?
Taylor Swift?
BTS?
I listen to home.
Ten OK?
Is that Korean?
I just hear door openning.
Shush...
Mama's home.
Yeung.
Mama's not feeling so well today.
I can't make dinner.
Let's eat out.
I'll cook.
No...
I don't want instant noodles.
I'll make congee.
Mr. Ho taught me how to make congee.
You're all grown up. Yup.
Mama's not feeling well.
I'll make congee.
Good son.
What are you recording?
Mama's voice.
Come on, don't do that.
My voice sounds terrible.
Mama sounds nice.
Mama sounds nice.
Really? Is it nice?
Good night, Mama.
"Son Typing..."
"Son Online"
"Son"
Would it kill you to eat before the alarm?
Hey.
When you were living with your mom,
did you ever ask... where your dad was?
I asked.
What did she say?
The first time I asked,
Mama hit me.
The second time I asked,
Mama hit me.
The third time I asked,
Mama hit me.
I didn't ask a fourth time,
Mama didn't hit me.
Hey. Did you think I'm handsome
when you saw my photo?
Ugly.
I'm ugly?
Yup.
If I'm so ugly,
why your mum sent you here
to stay with me?
You and your mom must be
doing this to mess with me.
Hey, buddy!
Yes.
Check the bill.
Sure.
$412.00. Change, please.
What should I do?
Keep it.
Looks like I won't have time
for the casino for a while.
That's good.
Thanks.
Keep the change, right?
Yeah.
No time for the casino.
No time for the casino.
No time for the casino.
Bruce Lee...
Hollywood screen test!
Action!
You put water in hotpot,
it becomes hotpot.
Bless me,
my friend.
Cut. Good take.
Let me see the playback.
Water!
Yes.
It's teapot, not hotpot.
You challenging the director?
Bruce Lee liked tea, so he said teapot.
I like hotpot, so I say hotpot!
Time to eat.
Stop nagging like your mom.
Loudmouth.
Why the hell are you so fat?
I got a bowl bigger than a hat.
Whoa Whoa Whoa!
Why do you have a son?
Cuz my libido was second to none.
Whoa Whoa Whoa!
Hi.
Ew!
I'm done.
Kiddo,
good job cleaning up.
When you're free, come over
and clean my place.
Yup. Don't even think about it.
I hope these next two weeks
go by in a flash,
then his mom can get him out of my hair.
Wait.
But you wanted me to ask Angelina
to get him a job interview
at the sheltered workshop.
Hey, I just wanted to give you
a chance to see her.
Don't drag me into this, man.
Just admit that you care about your son.
I bet you wanted to ask her out.
Oh, Angelina!
A new dessert place opened nearby!
Very Italiano.
It was just a meal with a colleague.
Delicious. Eat her up.
What a foodie.
A tiramisu with Angelina!
Must've been yummy!
None of your business.
Chi Chi Cha!
Eat her up.
Boom Boom Pa.
I was just bonding with a colleague...
What else could it be?
Eat her up, eat her up!
Chi Chi Cha, Boom Boom Pa!
Yum Chik! Yum Chik! Yum Chik Chik!
Chi Chi Cha, Boom Boom Pa!
Chi Chi Cha, Boom Boom Pa...
You're in a good mood, Water.
Where's my money?
What money?
I thought you cleared the debt already.
I did.
He did pay back
the 85 grand he owed me.
But then Water turned around
and borrowed from me again.
Water...
You're gambling again?
You're insane!
Hey...
Prince Kei...
I told you I'd have 50 grand
at the end of the month.
Why are you here so early?
There's also the interest.
If I wait, you may not have the money.
Got it, boss.
Bring it over!
Why are you standing there?!
Damn imbecile.
Two grand.
This two grand
will cover today's interest.
Thanks, boss.
As always...
Don't borrow if you can't repay.
And don't get swindled by middlemen.
Remember! Don't... No...
Watch those middlemen...
No...
Boss!
Boss, are you okay?
You damn punk! Yeung, run...!
Get him!
Boss...
Are you okay?
Get him!
Stop!
Stop right there!
Stop running! Stop!
Run, Water!
Let's go!
Yeung...
Wait!
Hurry up...
Water!
Yeung!
Wait for us!
You okay, Water?
Go...
Water.
That felt good.
Good...
I feel good, too.
Look, Water...
Let's call the cops.
Go take a stroll with Fong Sir.
I'll be home later.
We'll get late supper.
Where are you off to, Water?
I'm off to die.
Wanna come?
What the hell are you looking at?
Beat it!
Scram!
Here you are.
Let's get to work.
How dare you?
Water...
Cousin.
Water... Cousin.
Back to beg for mercy, barber man?
Prince Kei...
I made you mad today.
That's on me.
It has nothing to do with them.
Please let them go.
Am I an unreasonable man?
Your son hit me.
It's natural that I hit him back.
You're right.
You're right.
I didn't teach my son well.
How much do you want?
Name a price.
Want to bargain with me?
All right.
Let me think about it.
Get off!
That hurts.
Go on!
Water!
Perfect.
The family's reunited.
Here's my price.
However your son hit me...
Hit him the same way.
Okay?
Prince Kei.
Please have mercy.
Don't punish a kid.
He's a little nutty, you know.
You're the nut!
What kind of father
calls his own son nutty?
You're a prick!
A first-class prick!
Water.
I'll get this little bastard.
Stop, Yeung.
Bastard.
Prince Kei...
You're right.
I was wrong.
I really am a prick.
If you're gonna hit anyone,
hit this prick right here.
Please don't touch the boy.
Prince Kei. Please let him go.
Let him go, please?
Prince Kei.
Prick!
Does it hurt?
Oh, man.
But now I think
it's more fun to hit your nutty son.
Prince Kei!
Stop, Prince Kei!
Stop.
Prince Kei!
Stop, Prince Kei...!
Don't...! Put the knife down...!
Let him go.
Even if he makes it tonight,
he won't make it tomorrow.
You won't make it tonight, either!
No one will!
Let's all go down!
If anyone gets close,
I'll kill him!
Boss Shui.
I'd like a haircut.
Are you free?
I come here all the time.
You get that?
I got it...
Let's go!
It's late.
Keep it down.
Yes, sir.
Water!
What kind of cut would you like?
A simple trim will do.
Yes, Boss Shui.
Just call me Shui.
Are you...
You're really Shui?
Let's grab a drink sometime.
That guy sticks to me like glue.
Even I had to tell him
to scram a few times.
Please wait for a moment. Be patient.
Water Water's back!
You making up stories again, Fat Dog?
Don't mind him.
Water. Morning...
Fong Sir's been waiting forever.
You're so cool, Water! Cut the crap.
You're so hot! Go to work.
Come on, Kuen.
I'll cut your hair.
Don't worry.
He's fine.
He woke up in early morning
and cleaned the toilet well.
Hey,
are you free tomorrow?
Why?
Yesterday, when we were being chased
by Kei's men...
Yeung sprinted to the top of the hill.
Didn't even need to catch his breath.
Angelina said that...
autistic people...
tend to be stronger than normal people
in repetitive movements.
Running...
is a repetitive movement.
Yeung...
may have talent in long-distance running.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Take five.
Have some water if you need to.
OK? OK...
Let's start with a 1,500-meter jog.
Five-minute pace.
Yeung.
Follow these guys.
If you can follow, great.
But don't force yourself.
Ready?
Start running.
Why don't you run?
Need to poop?
No.
Don't need to poop.
Don't force him.
Let him adapt to his surroundings first.
Fine...
How about this. I'll take your backpack
and chill over there.
You adapt all you want.
No rush. Take your time.
OK?
Boss, what's up?
No.
I have a condition!
This is good.
Go with your son, it'll fix your condition.
Stop.
I have a weak heart.
I really do.
Go ask your mom about it.
I am going to have a heart attack.
Speed up.
I can't. My heart is beating too fast.
Hurry up!
Let me go.
I... I really can't.
Go away.
Get lost.
This is too much for me.
Why are you doing this?
You are killing me.
My heart is stopping.
It stopped.
I am dead.
You keep going.
Just leave me here.
Don't come back. Water.
Run!
You go and have fun.
Let me die here.
Water.
You all right?
You used to be on the school's track team.
I joined the track team
to meet girls.
You still remember.
Of course I do.
You took the girl that I had a crush on!
Did I?
Okay!
Give me another 1,500 meters!
Always playing dumb...
Give me back that wig! Water.
I'm having stroke... Water.
Let me go! Run.
Water.
Get up!
1, 2, 3, 4
5, 6, 7...
Hey!
Hurry!
2 kilometres.
Ready.
Yeung.
Get running!
Water?
Water?
I run... you run.
Understand?
Understand!
My life has no despair,
when poker chips are all I care.
Hurry.
Don't stop.
Quick.
Water.
Yea?
Why do you keep telling that figure,
Bless me,
my friend?
It's nothing,
just want to be blessed.
Oh.
OK...
Hey... Ouch... Cramp...
Ready.
It's perfect.
One more...
Don't speed up yet.
We've got 10 k to go.
Are you okay? Yeah.
Boss. Take a booster.
Have one!
Have one...
Don't mess around.
You still haven't paid for your wig.
Come on.
It's hot, careful.
Hey, buddy...!
I thought you wanted to talk.
Weak.
Good night, Mama.
Hey!
Let's go, man!
It's time to eat!
What are you doing?
What are you looking at?
Mama said she'll take me to the desert.
Yeah?
Why haven't you gone?
Mama told me to stay with you.
So we haven't gone.
Come on.
I'll take you when I'm rich.
Bring Mama along with us.
Your old lady hates me.
She wants nothing to do with me.
Call her Mama instead of old lady,
then she won't hate you.
It's not that easy!
Your old lady's a pain in the ass.
Mama, not old lady!
Mama, not old lady!
No more old lady!
I'll call her Mama.
Can we go now, Mama?
Yup.
Come on
Ng Kwong-fai.
Am I sick or what?
Mama.
Mama.
Mama...
Hey.
When you go home to your mom,
will you...
miss me a little bit?
I already miss you.
I've never seen him cut
with such care before.
Crap.
He's attached to the kid.
What do you think?
I'll miss you.
If you need a haircut,
just tell your mother
to bring you here.
Yup.
I got here in time. Fong Sir!
Fong Sir. Go eat.
Do we get any? He bought you desserts.
Of course. There's food.
I was at lunch just now.
I ordered extra.
That's too much.
Angelina says
eating sweets makes a person happy.
That's true. That's true.
Sweets stimulate the pituitary gland
to release dolphins.
Endorphin, Fat Dog,
not dolphins!
It's not dolphins?
That's an animal, man.
What about Beethoven?
That's music!
Yummy.
That's delicious.
Mama.
Yummy.
Have this one...
Yup.
Eat up.
Hello?
Miss Lee was diagnosed
with stomach cancer.
Last month...
she finally agreed to have surgery.
But she's always been in poor health.
She still hasn't recovered
from the surgery.
Last night, there was massive bleeding
on the wound.
She's been unconscious since.
The doctor says we need
to prepare for the worst.
She's a tough woman.
She hated asking for favors.
She suddenly asked me to
track you down a while ago.
I had no idea why at the time,
but now I know.
She was worried that
when she dies,
Yeung will be left all alone.
Yeung, where have you gone?
I've waited an hour for you.
Call me.
Mama's on the way, okay?
Mama, wake up.
Yeung, wait for me at school.
Don't go anywhere.
Your teacher called to praise you.
He said you helped other
students at school.
Mama, wake up. You're such a good boy.
Take the no. 18 bus downstairs...
all the way to the terminus.
Mama. I'll be waiting there.
Remember, no. 18 bus.
Mama.
Mama's up.
Mama's up.
Let me take a look.
Miss Lee.
Can you hear me?
I'll get the doctor.
Yeung...
Mama's better...
Mama's better...
Mama.
Mama.
Mama.
Mama, wake up.
Mama, wake up.
Mama.
Mama!
Mama!
Mama!
Wake up!
Mama!
Mama!
Be quiet.
Let Mama rest.
Mama.
Be good.
Get up.
Let Mama rest.
Come on.
Let's get out.
Come on, Yeung.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry...
"I want to apologize to you."
"Son Typing..."
"I want to apologize to you."
"Son Online"
"Son"
I never had the courage
to apologize to you.
Don't worry...
I'll take good care of Yeung.
Mama's home.
Yeung,
Mama's not feeling so well today.
I can't make dinner.
Let's eat out.
I'll cook.
No...
I don't want instant noodles.
I'll make congee.
Mr. Ho taught me how to make congee.
You're all grown up.
Yup.
Mama's not feeling well,
I'll make congee.
Son.
Why are you crying?
Are you feeling ill, son?
Mama's got you...
Don't cry...
Mama's got you...
Why won't you learn?
Write properly.
No more doodling. No.
Write here. Here.
Wait...
It's time to eat.
No way.
Write here.
Good.
That's right.
Not like this.
Don't draw...
Stop doodling.
You can draw afterwards.
Okay?
Happy birthday.
Write.
Look at what Mama got
you for your birthday.
I made it myself.
Try it on.
Go on.
Careful.
Let's see if it fits.
Yes.
It's nice.
Have you grown taller?
It looks short.
Son, I promise...
when I get better,
we'll go together.
Yup!
I'll take you there for sure...
Mama, why are you crying?
Mama's happy...
about taking you on a trip...
Hey.
Time to eat.
Fai.
Miss Lee left this for you.
Before she died,
she arranged a dormitory for Yeung.
Even when he's there,
you can visit him whenever you want.
Yeung's my son.
He should be with me.
Have a bite.
Can you really handle him?
He can do so much on his own.
He doesn't need my care.
Perhaps...
he could take care of me in the future.
That's exactly why I want to go,
there's nothing there.
Someone once told me that
people could discover their true selves
after crossing the desert.
Where...
can I go...
to find...
myself...
The past...
is just a memory
I'm lost
in despair
Where...
can I go...
to find...
myself...
Let the past...
pass me by
I'm no longer...
lost in this place...
Don't play dead, man.
Here.
Don't throw a tantrum.
You're the one who wanted to train.
Crawl back home if you can't stand it.
Papa.
Bless me...
My friend.
You!
Don't bully me!
Ah-cha!
Ah-cha!
Ah-cha!
Stop running. Chase me...
Chase me...
"I must find myself"
Water.
What's up?
It costs a lot to raise a kid.
Thank you.
It's okay.
Get up.
Keep going.
You can do this!
Water.
Water!
Keep it up...
We almost finish.
Keep going.
Hang in there!
Don't give up...
We're there!
Just a few more steps.
Thank you.
Are we there yet?
Let me check.
This way.
We're almost there.
One o'clock direction.
Papa.
Hurry.
Hey!
It's this way.
Anything you want to say to Mama?
Mama.
You're finally where you wanted to be.
Don't worry.
I'm all grown up now.
I will take care of myself.
My wife...
I don't have much in this life.
Thank you for giving me a son.
Good night, Mama.
Papa.
Why's your name Kwong-fai ("Glorious")?
Your grandpa said that...
a person must be upstanding
and have great achievements in life.
That's why he gave me that name.
But he forgot that our family name
is "Ng", which also means "not".
Papa.
What?
Papa!
Speak.
Papa!
What do you want?
Your old man's mouth stinks.
You brat,
teasing your grandpa now?
Come back here! Papa.
You will be sorry when I get you.
Your old man's a stuck up.
Come here.
I said come here.
Don't be your old man...
Once upon a time
I was searching for this moment
For an oasis filled with hope
An oasis of memories
Pursuit was replaced by sorrow
I found freedom, but never got complacent
How many lifetimes must pass?
How many sunny days must go by?
Before we get what we want?
How many were misunderstood?
How many were hurt along the way?
How many pure hearts remain?
Day after day
We cross the horizon
Even as darkness approaches
The dawn blossoms forever...
