Bodyguard: A New Beginning (2008)
Mr Wong! Mr Wong!
Mr Wong are you ok? I am fine. Leung! The police are coming! Are you ok? I am fine, thanks for your concern. Once again, I was fortunate you were there. I was only doing my job. I heard what happened. Are you okay? I'm fine. For months now we've known... ...that Kai has been trying to move in on our territory. The longer you leave it... ...the stronger he will grow. And you are sending a signal to Kai... ...and the other bosses... ...that you are losing power... ...making yourself and us look like an embarrassment. I will take care of this. - When? - In my own time. You're running out of time. Enough. You may go. How would you like to deal with this matter? Mr. Wong, wonderful that you could join us. I hope you don't mind I took the liberty of making some calls. I thought it was a great opportunity for all of us to get acquainted. Just go to the point. What do you want? It's in my best... all our best interests... ...to coexist peacefully. I only came to show respect, not cause trouble. I know my place. If you knew your place you wouldn't be here. We don't like foreigners. Respectfully, on the even of your 10th anniversary... ...of independence from British rule... I have a new vision... ...that can take us to the next level of wealth and prosperity... ...a supply of valuable goods... ...that I need to have distributed. And that's where you come in. Stupid! We don't need you to deal drugs. Well, I know you don't have access to the source... ...even if you wanted to distribute it. We are not interested. I certainly don't want to see your drugs on my streets. I understand your reluctance... ...but it's a no-brainer. Think about the gain. He has a point... ...why don't we collaborate? Shut up! Watch your mouth. Enough! This meeting is over. I don't trust this man and neither should you. Wong... ...I won't ask you again. You choose your words carefully, Kai. Or else what, little boy? Waiter. No. Sir sir sir. No. Sir sir sir. Bloody foreigners... Kai's got some nerve. He's not the first and he won't be last. His goods are attractive and will tempt many. We must be cautious. If his drugs are sold on my streets, I'll fucking kill him. Boss he's got a point. I heard you were stepping down. Bullshit, who said that? I'm not going to be around forever. However, if I step down I will ensure that stability is maintained. Let's go. Hey, Shen. Unlike Wong and others... ...I believe in alliance. It would be good for all of us. I can help you... ...but you have much to learn. So help me... ...and tell me why you're here. You know nothing of the relationship... ...between Wong and my father? Look, spare me the family history lesson... Shut up and listen. My father stayed alive for one reason... ...the information he had on Wong. Tell me. I'm no fool. You think that information comes with no price? So name it. You call me when the price is ready. I'll have something for you then. This stays between us. Is that clear? Kai was behind the attack at the office. I don't want this turning into a gang war. I have seen too much bloodshed. I've held power for 40 years... I'd hoped that my son, Yuen, would take over. But he's not ready... the men won't follow him. How long have you worked for me? Almost 12 years. Time goes by so quickly, you've served me well. There are not many I can trust, but you are very loyal. Thank you Mr Wong. I'm getting old. I'm tired. When I step aside I am worried that the wrong person will take over. That's why everyone will be watching us closely. Anyway, it doesn't matter as long as you're here to help. We have a deal? What do you have for me? My father kept it locked in a safe... ...in case Wong ever turned against him. - Who is she? - I don't know. But you're a resourceful man. She could be anybody. You consider this information? My father would not have kept this... ...if it was useless. Understand this, Kai... ...do not underestimate Wong. If you push him... ...he will fight back with great force. Don't worry about me. You just better hope this is worth something. There's a very private matter I would like you to help me with. This girl... ...lives in England. I want you to go over and watch her... protect her. But Mr Wong, we have lots of men. You are the only one I trust. When do I leave? Tomorrow. And the situation with the Japanese man, who will help you deal with him? I will deal with him. I don't want her caught up in any of this. Whomever I choose as my successor, they will be fortunate... ...to have you by their side. Mr Wong can I ask you something? Of course. When you step down I want to leave too. What you ask is very difficult. There's no easy exit. You of all people should know that. But if you do this thing for me, I'll find you a way out of this life. Yuen thinks he's all that, but he's weak. He's nothing without his father. Got a light? Next time watch what you say. When you land a contact will meet you with details of her whereabouts. I understand Mr Wong. Remember only make contact with her if you have to. I've held power for 40 years... I'd hoped my son, Yuen, would take over. But he's not ready. The men won't follow him. Shut the fuck up! What's wrong with you? Oh, yeah, you're a pretty boy. Oh, that's what it's gonna be, right? Oh, yeah, this is how it's gonna be, yeah? Hiding behind your big guys, you hero? Outside! Bloody foreigner. Come on, bring it on. Come. What now? Come! Hey. Get out of here. GET OUT OF HERE! Okay. Enough. Your attitude the other day... I was impressed. You didn't really threaten me... ...but I was impressed... ...that fire. Focus... ...and you can take your father's business... ...farther than he ever imagined. When you land a contact will meet you with details of her whereabouts. Remember only make contact with her if you have to. Such a shame... ...we've drifted so far apart. And whose fault is that? You ask me to help you out with the business... I try and help you out with the business. But no matter what I do I'm just not good enough. And you're full of criticism. You'd rather look at your bodyguard for help... ...than you would your own son. I offer my advice, but you don't listen to me. The men that were once by your side... ...are now laughing behind your back. The bosses that sit around your table... ...are eating off Kai's. And maybe you do need somebody... ...to step in your place. And would that someone be you? When Kai says that you're losing power... ...and maybe we need a new god, maybe he's right. Maybe I should stand in your place. Maybe we do need a new organization. Listen to me. For as long as I live... ...you will never take over... ...never. He's too old, he's not capable. What are you staring at? What are you saying? What did you say? Oh, fuck off, you idiot. I'll call you back. Bitch! Disrespect me! Fucking get off me! Get off me! Get off me! Get off me! Please! Please get off me! Please get off me! You came to the right place. Trust me, you're the last person I'd want to come to. It was an accident. She just wouldn't stop screaming. If my father finds out about this... I'm out. You'll be all right. We'll take care of it. Watch it. Oh, I am. Whoa whoa whoa whoa! Understand something, Kai... ...this is a partnership. Is that clear? No problem. Whether people like it or not, I'm his natural successor. I'm stepping up. I need some force for him to step down... ...a little bit of external pressure. But if any harm comes to him, Kai... ...I'm coming after you. Understood? So why the sudden change of heart? He's jaded... ...attached to traditions that have no meaning or place... ...in this world. Don't be too hard on him. He's just old. You sure you want to do this? You know this has consequences. Kai, I don't need advice. This is business, that's all. I admire your conviction. What is this? I was hoping you could tell me. Stop! Hey! Just give me the bag back. You've had your fun. Come and get it. Give it back! Who the fuck are you? This ain't none of your business. What the fuck is your problem? Someone's got to know who she is. I want to know who the fuck she is. Get out of here! Hey, woman... Customer. Hey, he's not gonna bleeding serve himself, is he? Now go on. Are you following me? Look, if it's a reward you're after... ...then you've come to the wrong place... 'cause I don't have any money. I can't bloody pay rent. Well, do you want to order something? Fine. Just sit there then, freak. Okay, listen... ...I hate being in debt to anyone. I finish in an hour. After that I'll buy you dinner. Then I don't owe you anything. Okay? I'll take that as a yes. Leung is in London. So why should I care if Wong's bodyguard is in the UK? Because you find Leung... ...you find the girl. Yeah, well, I'll make some calls. Leung shouldn't be too hard to track. Kai, don't underestimate Leung. He's a man of exceptional ability. There's a reason why my father has been... ...so well protected over the years. You don't talk much, do you? Do you even understand what I'm saying? You don't speak English, do you? Well, that explains a lot. It would be nice to know your name at least. What do you want, Marvin? I've just come out for some fresh air. Look, just 'cause I owe you money for my rent... ...doesn't mean I have to prostitute myself to you. Yeah, but you know you want it, don't you? Hey, you will if you want your paycheck. You fucking... ...what do you fucking want now? Let's get out of here. Um, so... ...this is me. Um... ...have a seat. So if you want a drink or anything... ...it's in there. And... I'm gonna go upstairs and change my clothes. So I'll be back in one minute. What are you two doing in here? I need to know where this girl is. Hey. You know, you've got... ...you've got some dirt on your shoulder. I can wash that off for you if you want. Stand up. Sorry. I'll just be a sec. What the hell is this? Get away. Stay there. Why have you got photos of me... ...in your jacket? I'm calling the police. Don't. What? You speak English? Your life is in danger. What? What the hell are you talking about? Ow! Run! Kai's men found us. We're hiding in a motel. Are you hurt? I'm fine. And Chloe? She's ok. Her safety is of great importance. Understood Mr. Wong... ...but she's asking questions which I don't know how to answer. Tell her not to worry. I will make arrangements for your return. I understand Mr. Wong. So who are those guys... ...and what do they want? I don't know. You don't know or you won't tell me? All I know is that I'm here to protect you. Shit. So you don't know... ...from who or what... ...you're supposed to be protecting me? Great. I need a drink. I don't think it's a good idea. Did I ask you for your opinion? I don't even know you. Somebody just tried to kill me. I've been running for most of the day... ...from people I've never seen before. You've dragged me here. I don't have any of my stuff. So I think I deserve just a moment... ...to have a drink... ...and a chance to calm down. So who is this Wong guy? Mr. Wong is my boss... ...and I'm his bodyguard. Bodyguard? That must be fun... ...risking your life every day... ...for stupid rich people. It's my job. I'm going to the bathroom. I don't need you to come with me. I'm a big girl now. Stay. Oh. What, are you my shadow? Can I get a bit of privacy, please? Get out! What are you doing? Do you want to die? I'm here to help you. I'm trying to protect you. You understand? I don't need you to protect me. I don't need anyone. Since you came into my life, it's turned to shit. Fine. I don't care if you die. Stupid! Stay with me. Have a seat. You may need some help. I know two brothers trained by my father... ...worth their weight in gold. I'll get them to give you a call. Make the call. We'll see why they're so special. Gentlemen... ...you come highly recommended. Follow me. What's on your mind? What do you want from me, Chloe? I'm here to protect you. Hello? Yuen, someone on our side is working for Kai. A traitor? Yes we have him trapped in a warehouse. I want you to deal with this matter personally. Do you know who the traitor is? Another thing, I don't want anyone knowing about this. Ok, I understand. I am on my way. You! What's wrong? It was a mistake. How could you... ...my own son, my own flesh and blood? Your son? I am your son... ...but I'm nothing more to you than an employee. You ask me to work for you... I work for you. You ask me to kill for you... I kill for you. Everything I do, I do for you. You see this girl? I owe her mother my life. And now you have put her life in danger. Do you really hate me that much? This isn't about you. This is about business. You betrayed me. You dishonored your own triad. You know the rules... ...you must die. I'm your only son. You lose me... you lose everything. I never want to see you again... ...ever. I don't have a son anymore. To me you are dead. I can fix it. It's not too late. It's not too late! I just need you need to chill out a bit. What? You know, relax. Do you have any family? Wong is my family. I'm here to do a job, not make friends. Fine. You don't get the girl. Get the fuck out of town. You want me to stop? I make deals in this town. I'm calling this off. You hear me? You're such a little bitch. All you got is requests and attitude. - You fucking know who I am. - Yeah, I know who you are. You're a fucking raping punk. Fuck. You're pathetic. Come back when you grow up, little boy. Your dad doesn't even want you. What do you want us to do with him? Don't kill him. Wong won't take him back. Just put him on the streets. They'll take care of him. Get out of here. Focus and you can take your father's business... ...farther than he ever imagined. For as long as I live, you will never take over... ...never. Grow up, little boy. Your dad doesn't even want you. You see this girl? I owe her mother my life. And now you have put her life in danger. You know the rules... you must die. Get off me, please! I don't have a son anymore. To me you are dead! What do you want? What? What? What is it? I don't want this turning into a gang war. I have seen too much bloodshed. What we discussed, prepare the men. It's time to send a message to Kai. Do you understand? Sir, we're sorry. It all happened so fast. We need to get you somewhere safe so you can lie low. My girl. No no no. Get out! Get the fuck out! No! No! We do what we must to survive... ...to protect our way of life. Mr Wong, it's Leung. We board in one hour. Can I speak to Chloe? I'm sorry you got dragged into all this. Who are you? How do you know me? I want answers. As soon as you get to Hong Kong I will tell you everything. When you arrive in Hong Kong don't trust anyone. Go straight to the safehouse. I understand. It's good to see you Leung. I've brought Chloe as you requested. Why have you brought me here? Please sit down. I'll tell you everything. It's all right. You were two years old when I met your mother. We were very much in love... ...and we were married. You were married to my mother? Yes. But soon after that... ...during one of my triad wars... ...she was killed... ...in front of my very eyes. And as she was dying in my arms... ...she made me promise her... ...that the same thing doesn't happen to you. So why have I never heard of you before? Because of my life with the triads... I didn't want to bring you up myself. I had you adopted. But I never gave up on you. I always kept watch on you. I always knew that you were all right. It was all for your protection. For my protection? Do you expect me to thank you? You abandoned me. You came back here to save yourself. That's why I sent Leung to protect you. That's why you're here today. She died because of you. Yes. I just didn't want the same thing... ...to happen to you. I can't hear any more. Mr Wong can I ask you something? When you step down I want to leave too. What you ask is very difficult. There is no easy exit. But if you do this thing for me, I'll find you a way out of this life. I have a meeting with the other bosses to discuss Kai. You don't need to worry. I will look after Chloe. Take care. They have arrived. - We need to leave now. - Where are we going? Yeah. Yeah. You what? We're not married, right? Yeah, just checking. That means I don't have to listen to your shit. Now you get this job done while I'm still laughing. No. Useless! You can thank me later for this reunion. Hi, Daddy. Bye, Daddy. What have you both got to miss? He wasn't there when you were born. He never held you. And he never will. I am sorry, Kai took Chloe. I couldn't save her. It doesn't matter, I will deal with it. Mr Wong you can't go, I will handle it. Kai wants to see me. Tonight I will put an end to this. I'll come with you. Hello, Daddy. Glad you could make it. Look, Kai, this is between us, nothing to do with her. Don't you think it's a little late for that, old man? Tell your men to stand down. Relinquish your territories to me. No, please. Let her go. Like you let my daughter go? You and I... ...we know in this business... ...there are no winners, there are only losers. You kill me or not... makes no difference. You will never take power. Okay. You ok. I'm fine. No! Mr Wong? Look after Chloe. We are Triads... ...and this is the fate we have chosen. What the fuck are you doing? Come on, let's go. What the fuck does it take to kill you? Get out of the fucking car! No! You chickenshit. You're dying. I'm dead. What the fuck's wrong with you? Go ahead, you little fuck. Come on! Look at me. Look at me! I had more faith in you than you had in yourself. I guess like father like son, huh? You done? Yeah, I'm done! Yeah! Get up. Leung. You can't leave me. Please. I need you. Please. You're okay. I'm here. I won't let you down. I'm sorry. |
