I'm a professional killer
For some reasons every time we come to Hong Kong
we end up walking... a lot
In silence, we walk like hit men in a movie
Just keep on walking
I can't help but wonder...
Do movies influence how we killers behave?
Or the other way round?
Maybe it's mutual
This guy next to me is my partner
AKA Setting Sun
He used to go by Rising Sun
Later some started calling him Midday Sun
These couple of years his alias became Setting Sun
Listen up, we have one cell phone each
Three SlM Cards each can only be used once
Take HK$10,000 with you the rooftop is our hideout
I've asked for two pistols for each of us
Should have been only ten rounds I asked for an extra ten
What for?
My memory is failing me
I sometimes forget if I have fired a gun
It's good to play safe
What a pretty sunset
Photograph me for remembrance
The sunset is a good metaphor for our profession
Move to the right a little
Raise your head, a bit higher
To protect him, I made sure the backlight
obscure his face
Hello?
Got it
Boss said I've been exposed
Let's split up
Wait for me in this address
Next corner please
Hey, the money...
Roadblock ahead, anyone getting off here?
OK...
When an assassin encounters any trouble
he has to face it and take it head on alone
A killer has to rely on his killer instinct
When there was only a few TV channels
I never ran out of things to watch
Now there's over a hundred to choose from
but nothing worth seeing
One says, men just get lonelier with more choices
I'm the guy who is inseparable with loneliness
My name is Soya
One is most desolated when he is amidst a crowd
yet is unnoticed
This is an exclusive weather news
Out of expectation
a cold front has swept down from the North
with temperature expecting to drop by up to 15 degrees
The lowest expected temperature is... 9 degrees!
So... It's freezing cold and you want to be funny?
Oh no...
I may have been...
According to my share of Hong Kong films
some men here
like the company of other men...
Don't run around naked, you're unwell
Do you know you are a handful to carry down?
I can't have you pass out again
Sir... are you alright?
Did you jump over from the adjacent building? Or...
Stop picking up bricks
You're burning up... it's a high fever
Hey... Let me untangle these for you...
Sir?
I was going to call for the 'white car'
you won't let me...
No... not the 'white car' how did you call it?
You can't call for an ambulance! Right...
But you got so ill I wanted to get you meds
But I didn't know which ones work for you
so I got you a little of everything
I took off your shirt, pants undershirt and underpants
Then I changed the bed sheets blankets and pillowcases
Everything looks new and pretty
And I guess you'd be hungry
and that congee is good for you
but I wasn't sure what flavor you prefer
I promised myself
I need to get well enough to kill this jerk
So have a taste of everything and tell me what you like, ok?
Good boy, come on...
Turn your head and look at me
I'll blow on it for you
Can't out blow you!
No worries, we've got a whole bowl here
Don't give up
With a little bit of strength
this guy is dead meat
I guess I better rest up
I need my full strength back
to kill this son of a bitch
Time for your medicine
You're up early
Why? Why what?
Why am I wearing new clothes?
Ask yourself
You threw up all over your clothes
I washed them 3 times
and still didn't work
I used superb laundry detergent
and hand washed them bit by bit, inch by inch
It's all better now
My washing machine makes weird noises
'Googoogoo' is on wash and 'cancancan' means drying
Listen... 'googoogoo'
Hey, it's 'googoogoo' now not 'cancancan' yet
Wait... don't do it, no
You're sick
You can't get wet or your fever will recur!
From master filmmaker Feng Xiaogang
"The Assembly"
We must keep fighting until we hear the bugle call!
Yes sir! We'll only retreat when the assembly horn is blown
Hey look, this is my pretty girlfriend
I promised her we would get married
when the war is over
This guy's a goner for sure
Why do you say that? Haven't you learnt anything from movies?
I n war flicks, good-looking soldiers
or those who look at family portraits or write to their wives
they all end up dead
He has all three conditions in spades
I told you I don't borrow money
You've called like a thousand times
I'm on roaming!
He... is really dead
I told you, movies never lie
Fight...
Captain, I found your watch!
What the heck?
Mine is a Rolex, this one's a Seiko
and look
it's a phony, it explodes!
The Assembly call...
Captain, I hear it. It's the call!
Let's retreat, com'on!
I don't hear it, keep fighting!
Captain! They're blowing it!
I don't hear it!
It's real, listen!
No! Listen...
It's true, I can hear it even though I'm dead
They blew it No, he didn't
Blew it... No, he didn't, seriously
It's already blown...
Maybe...
He blew the assembly horn...
Yes... many times over
I don't hear it! Idiot! They blew the horn!
I don't hear a thing, they haven't!
Come over here
and blow it for them
I can see him blowing
but I don't hear him, not counted!
Get out!
Idiot! Wasting our time
Wasting our lives!
Captain...
you can never blow again

I am a professional killer
Now that I have my strength back
This muttonhead has to die
Ramen, ramen, everybody loves ramen
Playing hide-and-seek? You're funny
You just got well, must be starving right?
I prepared two bowls of ramen
used only the best stuff
Come have yours before it gets cold
He actually made my favorite mixed noodle with soup
Come over and eat while it's still hot
I can hear your stomach groveling, com'on
Com'on...
Let's dig in
Why aren't you eating?
This guy can die later
The ramen has to be eaten now
I'll kill him afterwards
It's too hot?
I'll blow on it for you
No worries, I'll blow it myself
We've slept together
I better ask your name at least
How should I call you?
I'm Soya Chugot, you can just call me Soya
Chugot, eh? My surname is...
(Written by: Seeto Kai)
Seeto...
and my name is... Spring Migration
I was on the rooftop
waiting for a friend of mine
My friend!
Hey, where are you going? You just got well
I need to go meet my friend
Special Weather Report
Another fierce cold front
is fluttering towards Hong Kong at the speed of 42 kph
The weather may seem warm right now
but it's going to be cold like a freezer tonight
Wear an extra layer if you're going out, goodbye
I have placed a note
on the rooftop
Your friend can call you when he sees the note
Don't you worry, he'll find you
With this strange weather you might fall ill again
You'll be well taken care of here
You got me, that's not the same
It definitely won't be the same without you
So, Brother Spring, what are you here for?
Hope you don't mind the nickname
What do you do for a living?
Any other friends in Hong Kong?
Sorry, we screenwriters tend to ask a lot of questions
It's an occupational hazard
Take your medicine first
You write screenplays?
I thought that all filmmakers in Hong Kong
are good looking
Not if you're not acting in front of cameras
Since you want to know about my past
Let’s start from Somewhere in Time
Regarding my Family Ties
one can pretty much Say Anything
I was 2 young
but I was lucky to have my Big Daddy
He truly was...
My Father, the Hero
People call him Mr. Nice Guy
One day, he and his pals left for Hong Kong
They took the Chungking Express
Chungking Express?
Indeed it's Chungking Express
And they spent
One Night in Mongkok
where he met The Love Guru
And they went together to Brokeback Mountain
and so he gained a new nickname called
Birdy
Birdy?
He left my mother a Love Letter
there he said, Mommie Dearest
if you're Lost in Time, Forget Me Not
Let's stay Connected and have Breakfast at Tiffany's
Mamma Mia went nuts after reading it
She found a nightclub and did a Chicken Run
She may look like a Showgirl
But she really knows that
Can't Buy Me Love
Your mother was quite heroic
Which night club did she work in?
I know! The Joy Luck Club
It's Fight Club Great joint
There she met The Godfather
He was quite The Terminator
and really Hard Boiled
Hard Boiled?
He must be pretty powerful
What do they call him?
The Talented Mr. Ripley
He clearly wanted to get it on with my mom
But my mom was smarter
Every night she called up Crimson Tide
and made sure to Raise The Red Lantern
Still she couldn't last longer than Thirteen Days
and gave in to Dangerous Liasons
But when there was Big Trouble in Little China
he forced my mother to use an alias lsabella
and had her start doing AV
What an amazing story your mom had
What was the title of her adult film?
Beauty and the Breast
Must have been a tame adult film
She later joined a Road Trip
But could not Escape from New York
I n the end, Death Becomes Her
And my mother became
The Departed
I took my mother's body
Placed her on Chariots of Fire
and sent it on a Stairway to Heaven
Yet Ripley decided to come after me
I was trapped in the House of Flying Daggers, but saved at last
And what happened at last? Who saved you at last?
The Last Samurai
Whew... you really know your movies
Although you've had a rough time
if you believe that Life is Beautiful
the Outsiders like us
in the Year of Living Dangerously
will never end up with a Bullet in the Head
We'll be The Untouchables and Heaven Can Wait
Until then, Whatever Works!
Are you alright?
I'm pretty familiar with films myself
Obviously
I secretly pray for
a life as wonderful as a movie
A professional hit man can easily finish
a moron like this
But to off a fellow film maniac it's tough
You have interesting lines
I can read palms
Your lifeline splits midway
Your career line has three branches
And two of them form a new line
It's not that bad...
A woman lived here once?
TRUE
The hair band and the hair clip were my Ex's
I gave her an English name Sky Love
I didn't want to talk about her until you brought her up
You don't have to talk... Yes
we shared a love bound by fate
I was attracted initially not to her looks
I was attracted to
her voice...
Thank you for calling the Loveline
Not long ago I wrote a directory script for a relationship hotline
and was supervising its recording
Her voice attracted me to her like magnet to steel

I thought I'd never run into her again for sure
But I guess we were drawn to each other
At the Film Festival
I saw her working in the Space Museum
Just go back to where you were...

Could you tell me your name?
My name is...
(More days later)
Tsui Tin Oi is my name, and you?
Call me Soya
Hi...
Soya, so you just saw a 3D flick?
Soya
Supe, I have a predicament
I met a girl, a little more than 2 months
I've seen her 32 times
Is it too rush to ask for a date
on our 33rd encounter?
Dude, 2 months?
You could have married, got pregnant
aborted and split up in that time
You know what year it is right?
The year of the financial meltdown?
Be that as it may...
Yellow ticket #80
over here...
I write movie reviews
Quick...
Sometimes I also write scripts
I also write for directory hotlines
Let's go
Spirit, I have a question
Where's a romantic dining venue
for a first date?
Cheap or expensive?
Cheap There's no romantic for cheap venues
Romantic people are asking for torment
And the more torment one's in the more romantic it is
You can check...
the time schedule is...
obviously just in here somewhere
Just look for it yourself, alright?
Bye
Would you be free this Saturday?
I'm free except Mondays Thursdays and Fridays
We can sit in front for the view
Or at the back if you want to keep warm
You make the call
Middle section OK
I read reviews depicting
the last scene we saw
was the most romantic kissing sequence ever filmed
Kissing scenes are truly very romantic
Sorry
I just want to see if I could...
What is it?
We're here That was quick
Let's go then
I can go up on my own, don't worry
Take care
Bye...
Yes! YO...
I did it...!
I miss you already
I couldn't believe my luck
A guy like me
would have the fortune of being missed
and cared for
Could you lift me up?
You're scaring me...
Just walk ahead... right
If I wasn't tailing Sky Love
I would never believed in
a person that kindhearted
Let's see what the headline for today is
(l miss you a lot!)
(l miss you too)
(Support you)
Let me do it
She was such a nice girl
Down to categorizing rubbish
I will keep this one
My life felt complete
having to meet her
I can still recall
that night she came with Tung Tung
we did it there and there...
Oh, it's too smutty, I shouldn't continue
I don't want you to think of us as lewd
If you feel the story's too explicit
please continue
Please come in
Tung Tung had a big fight with my mother
They're ignoring each other now
Could you keep him?
I didn't clarify how a turtle was to argue with a human
But I accepted her request right away
When Tung Tung comes around and apologizes
I'll take him back
You know, turtle are quite hardheaded
I know
So we kept testing each other's patience
Thankfully then came a... mosquito
Mosquito!
Did it get a bite? It did
Where?
1, 2, 3
This time wearing eyeglasses...
Headband on?
1, 2, 3
Quick, turn your face sideways...
1, 2, 3
This is so much fun!
But we shouldn't post these on the web
Most importantly, never take your computer in for repairs
or take pictures of key body parts
Come... over here...
This part, not allowed
How about here? Alright...
1, 2, 3...
Look at you... you're so photogenic
Your quarter turns pretty cute, too
I've never ever felt this way
What way?
Liking someone this much
How much?
As much as...
wanting to stay close to you like now forever
You won't
I will for sure, believe me
You won't
I can visualize it
You'll... you'll meet someone else
and you'll dump me
I won't... marry me... Let’s have kids together
Of course you'd want me to have kids with you
so you can abandon me after that
Go get a mistress... and abandon our baby too!
No... I'm not that kind of guy I'm not like that!
You are!
All men are the same
And you're one too!
Not even if every other man is... I won't be! I swear!
No swearing!
Oh no...
I'm sorry...
I didn't mean to...
Your face is all red Don't worry
I'm so sorry...
I'll never wrong you
You will!
I won't... I swear...
No swearing!
Women pursue happiness relentlessly
but the closer they are to it the more insecure they get
Two people are most intimate yet feel distant
It's when you are in love yet are mortified of each other
Shall I move back?
I'll help you pack
No... I... don't really want you to...
Truth is, I love you so much!
Love? Really? How much do you love me?
Love me?
And you show your love by packing up for me?
Is that it? The phone... it's ringing
You packed up really fast
I also love you so much!
Don't, I'm still paying installments on that phone!
Try picking up that call now!
Soya! Open the door please!
I wasn't myself... please let me in
I won't be like that again, Soya?
I really miss her
But I'm scared of being hit, too
One slap after another
Not even my parents ever hit me that way
I didn't dare answer her calls and had no guts to call her either
We're like two parallel lines that just won't meet
I really miss you, Sky Love!
Fuck you!
Who is it? It's a woman
Don't let her in if it's Sky Love
Are you Sky Love?
I sure am
Too late, she's already in
He's moved out
Stop kidding around
Soya... I have some good news
I went to the doctor I've always gone to
And he told me
I don't have to visit him any longer
not even if I caught minor colds and flu
I feel like
we can have a fresh start
What do you say?
You heard her
The doctor told the patient can stop seeing him
She's obviously a bit cuckoo
Don't freak out though
I'm here for you
Who are you?
Why are you in your boxer?
He's my friend, Brother Spring
I hang his pants out to dry... he...
It's like you've twisted your tongue I'll handle this
Miss, let me get this straight
He loves you, and you love him
No matter how difficult the situation is
you two have to work it out between yourselves
Don't give up just because you're psychotic
Psychosis is a minor matter
There's this big dude in my hometown
His mother was a crazy bitch
but his dad never minded his crazy ass mother
and loved her just as much Brother Spring
And the big dude's crazy too
but your mother didn't mind... My mother?
You hit me? Sky Love, don't...
Please don't... Sky Love
No?
Why do you force me to hit a woman? Spring...
Please don't, Sky Love...
Please don't do it... Sky Love
Calm down, Sky Love!
Sky Love! Don't!
Brother Spring!
I don't love you anymore!
I will not give you happiness ever in my life, okay?
Brother Spring!
Are you alright?
Brother Spring...
Fuck you... I knew it
No men can be trusted
You promised you'd always love me...
Liar
Dude, you sound like you're laboring
Look at your friend, he's not even moaning
Brother Spring, I should not have dragged you into this
So, do you need to call the cops for these bite wounds?
You sure they're bitten by a woman?
If it was a dog it would be needed to be put down
Maybe we should ask the cops to go put her down
That woman... is my girlfriend
Girlfriend, eh? Which sort?
Should we test you for Al DS?
Maybe we should
Brother Spring, that may be a good option
What about your friend?
I'll get Al DS from a falling bookcase?
Depends on what kind of book case it was
It's been days
and Setting Sun hasn't shown up
Although I'm safe staying around here
I know I have to go fetch for him
On top of that he forgot to give me money
I'm completely penniless
If anything goes wrong I will be stuck here
So I went on the professional hit man homepage
See if he left me a message there
I need some hard cash
Setting Sun did all the liaison in the past
I never knew where to source for customers
Meeting at Sunset?
I know I should jump at any chance
to reunite with Setting Sun
I am an assassin, I want to meet Sunset
Meet me in South Bay Beach at sunset
On the third beach umbrella from the lifeguard post
Is it the third from the left?
or the third from the right?
What is he looking at? Right
Meet you at sunset
You are hiring a killer? You're a killer?
Where's the gun? Where is it?
I know your type you're either a lunatic into young girls
or a social worker who's got nothing better to do
Or a lunatic who wants to bang young girls
and is using social work as a cover
Missy, you don't need a gun to kill
Money can do the trick too
Weird accent so they even hire imports now?
Shouldn't look for a hit man if you don't have money
I don't have cash, but I got this...
But only after the deed is done
When do I start? Who's the target?
I'm still looking for him
Just enjoy the sunset with me
The one who can bring you joy
is also the one who can bring you pain
As you derive joy from him pain is already brewing
Do you read romantic novels?
Not really
Then how am I supposed to communicate with my hit man?
A professional hit man
does not communicate with his client
I accompanied the pregnant teen to watch the sunset
Only then did I realize that the real sunset
is much prettier than the killer named Setting Sun
But after hearing her reading pages of her romantic novel
I just couldn't help shuddering
Have you ever tried turtle jelly?
I'm asking you ever tried turtle jelly before?
Ignorant fool
Hello? Soya
Director Fung has a new project
He will hold a script meeting with a few writers
Are you interested?
Absolutely, what sort of story?
A story about an assassin
Apparently he hired
two real life killers for the meeting
OK... I'll come over right now...
Brother Spring, you're into films, right?
Let me introduce some filmmakers to you
No Come with me...
Let's go brainstorm the story together
It's a story about assassins. They actually got two pro killers for research
So excited, I wonder what they are like
I'm getting changed and you're coming with me
Ignorant fool
I've never met a director before
But I heard in a film set the director is God
Good Take!
Now I've come face to face with a God
Camera Ready! Action! Cut
What is it with you idiots? Act!
Why are you staring at me? That's right, you!
Quit staring and start acting!
Two months of meetings
and all we have is a title
"Hard Boiled Killers" and I came up with that
You bunch of dumboes
We now need to call for help
You over there!
I'm Soya, we've met before
Yeah? How about the guy next to you?
A friend of mine he majors in Film Studies
A bit old for a student!
On some correspondence course?
He finished his Masters Degree in the Mainland
He worked after his studies
and then studies again after working
His name is Seeto Spring Migration
Really? Cool name
This is the Master
Supe, Spirit, Roach, you know them
Soy sauce... and the Master Degree holder beside him
Let's get down to this story
about an assassin...
How do we add some spice to it?
You know, in a hit man movie...
Sir, the two professional killers are here
I found two real ones to come share with you guys
This is serious
I am sick of your ineptitude
Let them in
This way please
How shall we call you?
Call me Win
Call me To
Brothers Win and To sure bring a fierce vibe with them
They're true professionals
The writers would like to consult you
on some occupational clarifications
Come on, let's make use of this
The two of you have... killed a lot of people?
Pretty experienced right?
Any thoughts you might want to share?
Fuck thoughts... only one thing counts, cruel!
Cruel with every slice!
A truck load of guys
A steak knife tied to each one's hand
why the need to tie?
Coz after a few slashes blood will spill onto the hands
It starts to get slippery
That's not good for our line of business
So what's considered cruelty?
How does one get to be so cruel?
With every slash
there's one thing revolving in your head and that is
Slash that motherfucker!
Great tip! Drop that down! What an insight!
Learn up, guys! I object!
I object to 'slash that motherfucker'
Based on my personal experience
most victims' mothers were absent at the scene
True... why would their moms be at the scene?
You two may claim
to be killers
but you're amateurs at best
What did you just say?
Amateur killers
A killer has a very narrow point of view
At best this much
It's not like having a wide lens
Or panning from left to right
Definitely no tilting upwards or downwards
So if you ever meet a killer
try hiding under the table he's unlikely to find you
Coz the killer's eyesight doesn't tilt downwards
It's good to have swagger
even better to have a gun or a knife
But when one can kill with the use of one finger
then he's one top assassin
The human body has 300 pressure points,
in which 36 are fatal
Firstly, the center forehead
Second is right between the brows
Third one is both temple areas
Fourth is right at the nape area try not to move
Hey!
There's also a hidden back of brain point
Sixth is right here at the back of both ears
Don't move or I'll press it
Awesome! Mr. Masters you should have spoken up earlier!
Just some basic Chinese Medicine factoids
Exactly what I needed!
Soy sauce, your pal is really good!
It's actually Soya, Sir
Come sit somewhere closer
Mr. Masters, come on over
Spirit, here's a paper napkin for you
You took that from your pants pocket?
No, it was just...
No, thanks, I have my own
Soya, about your friend...
He was really good
He blew the cover of those two jokers
He's more professional than actual killers
Thanks to Brother Spring
It was nothing you invited me to come over
Are you blind? What? Not cool with that?
Don't you know how to plea for forgiveness?
What's wrong with you?
Just because you're tall...
Hey you...
I never thought of Soya as a man
Up until this moment when he risks himself to protect me
I'm really sorry
Damn it!
How dare you!
Better grow a few inches taller Soya!
Soya, are you alright? Are you ok?
Excuse me, everyone
Are you ok? Need not to call for ambulance
That's for offending my friend
Hey! Killer
I found the guy we roll out 9 a.m. tomorrow
What?
9 a.m. tomorrow! Where?
I'll let you know
This phone is really sturdy, what brand?
Motorola
Does it have double SlM slot models?
Phones come with slutty models?
Was that funny?
You have to laugh at my jokes, buddy
That was quite funny
Donnie Lau, get out!
What's the matter?
Wrong classroom, go
That's him!
Hey, what are you doing?
None of your business
Where are you taking me?
I have to finish my exam... my exam...
I really do
Finish your exam, everyone else!
Hey, my exam... Hey
Kneel! This moron knocked me up
Kill him!
Not Donnie Lau, I'm Danny Lau!
Did we get the wrong guy?
I had sex with him, it can't be wrong
Sorry, today's the day you die
I'm sorry, really sorry
Please do forgive me
Yes... I didn't mean to get her pregnant
I wanted to use a condom
But she was on top of me, I had no control
I wasn't even that into it, I'm sorry...
I would have jerked off instead
How can you even say such things?
Brother...
This is the last shot I got
let me finish the exam
I'm down to one long question
What I have here is the real long question
I feel sorry for your mother
You simply have to die let's make it quick
Close your eyes, it will be over real soon
My long question...
I missed the exam, time's up...
How can I finish you off this way?
No! This can't be happening...
I'm failing my exam, I'm so dead!
Does this count as my kill?
I really thought he was a great guy
I really loved him
And now? Stop it...
I hate myself right now
How could I fall for such a loser?
And to get knocked up even, shit!
Why don't you kill me instead?
I don't want to live anyway
OK, let's make a deal now
The baby is a bonus
When do you want to die?
Hmm, let's make it more romantic
Tomorrow at sunrise, finish off my life
It's now 6 p.m.
You have 12 hours till the next sunrise
Use this time to take care of your matters
I'll see you here at 6 in the morning
Daddy, I'm gonna die tomorrow
Same here, baby
If I don't seal this deal, my factory...
will surely have to close
I will go dead anyway
Go get money from your Aunt for shopping, ok?
She's not my Aunt, she's your girlfriend
She wasn't home in the last few days
She may have run off with another man
Talk if you have fun plan or hang up
Leave a message
I couldn't find anyone to accompany me
Will you spend my last few hours with me?
Are you a real hit man?
You shall find out at 6 in the morning
If you weren't pregnant what would you do with your life?
I have plenty of dreams
I wanted to be a writer
a director, an actress... or a model
A couple of adjectives come to mind
Materialistic and unrealistic
I'm not like others
I have the story plotted out in my mind
I should film it before I die
Quit horsing around
It's about
an orphan and pretty girl
She admired the ballet...
Orphan and pretty girl
She's an orphan, right?
Keep going
She has a crush on the lead dancer of a ballet troupe
Jimmy
I'm playing... Yup
the girl? You play Jimmy
Come Over here?
Rolling... Action!
It's getting late
what's up?
You're mimicking Andy Lau? That's so outdated
Mimicking Andy may be outdated
But Andy himself will never be outdated!
I want another style
You're in luck that I watch enough movies
Again, action!
Why the long pause?
Tony Leung Chiu-Wai always does it like that
Do a Donnie Yen
It's getting late, what's up?
Wing Chun Style, I p Man
How can Tony Leung play I p Man?
I don't think he has figured that out yet
Then you think a bit
Give me a cigarette
Let's continue... Action!
Wing Chun Style, I p Man
Here comes the female lead
She's almost dead but is desperately clinging onto life
She's in a dilemma when she sees Jimmy
She will be shy, nervous and hurt...
Yet she will tease Jimmy with her sensuality
Do you understand? No laughing, action!
Suddenly, you recall you only have 15 days to live
Sadness engulfs you, and you start sobbing
I don't think I can do that
You can't get yourself to cry?
Do you have any painful memories?
What does that mean?
I heard
when an actor could not tear up on set
he'd think of his grieving experience
Think of yourself
A girl who fell for a man
you barely understand
and got you pregnant
You want to die and you don't know where your mother is
Your dad won't even give you the time
You have no friends
You'll end your life tomorrow at 17 years old
Don't you worry, I will take care of you
So? How was my acting?
The girl wanted to make love to the man before she dies
so that the man can own her completely
Stop that
Haven't you heard before...
when a woman loves a man
she wants him in her uterus?
Damn, you're not an impotent, are you?
Or am I not hot?
It's not difficult for men to make love to women
But you're a pregnant woman
Impossible!
So why don't you be the baby's dad I'm the mom
Baby's mom and dad
Alright then
Ouch! This is too much!
The baby, it hurts... I n movies
killers don't ever kill puppies and babies
Help! Someone killed my baby...
It hurts...
Doctor! We need a doctor!
Pregnant woman is in pain!
Follow me, over here
Sir, please wait outside
Are you alright?
I'll go after you if anything goes wrong
No worries, mom and baby are safe
Let's do an ultrasound scan
for good measure Excuse me then
No worries, let's look at it together
You're one young grandpa! Good for you!
He's the father of the baby
Is she even 16?
You're lucky then
But he didn't have sex with me
You guys are complicated
I've never done an ultrasound
You stayed with me all night let's see the baby together
Although I don't understand your relationship, it's ok
Let's see the gender of the child
shall we?
The baby is fine
See, this is the head... oh no!
What?
Legs are crossed, couldn't see the gender
You'd know when you give birth then
Doctor, can you take a family portrait for us?
Sure
The non-father, please assume the position
Wrap your hand on the shoulder of the baby's mother
That's right
The other side so you don't block her face
Trust me, I'm a better photographer than a doctor
What time is it?
6 o'clock, you don't have a watch?
I do
You were right
I'm not a killer
I'm Maggie Chan
Call me Seeto Spring Migration
So you two have just met?
Yes Snap a photo for remembrance
OK... It's all meant to be
I'm supposed to be a professional at ending lives
Tonight, I preserved a new life
Ma, wait for me, it's raining
Be careful
How's your love life, my girl?
When will you bring him home to meet me?
He's super busy, but don't worry
He's nice and really takes care of me
Tung Tung still lives with him
He told me he's having a blast
That stupid turtle
I won't let him come home if he doesn't apologize
Maybe this is better
It's good to know
you have a stable relationship
He is better not be like your deadbeat dad
He won't be, he really loves me
Let me give you some ideas
for your big story meeting tomorrow
OK
An assassin, he's a man's man
He might look normal on the outside but at all times
he has to preserve a coolness towards humanity
Do you have friends in the killing business?
Assassins must not have friends
I know!
A story about a hit man
who's not supposed to have friends but found one
How does that work?
I'll just talk about you and me
Assume that you're a hit man from another land
You were waiting for your partner on the rooftop
When an unforeseen cold wind swept
and got you sick
you were taken in by a tall, handsome
yet lonely screenwriter
At first, the killer was determined to kill the writer
Unexpectedly, they became buddies
Tall and handsome writer? That's nonsense!
Then, the handsome dude and the killer...
hit the crossroads of their friendship
This just and handsome male lead...
did he sell out his new killer friend?
Do you think he should?
I'm not good with male action films
but I can weave a romantic subplot in
Female leads in hit man movies
are either blind or mute
I know, a hooker
A hooker working in a Mongkok brothel
A killer and a whore, perfect match!
I n "The Killer", the lead girl was blind
I n "Bangkok Dangerous", it was a deaf mute
In "One Nite in Bangkok", it was a hooker
All three films were successes
I got it!
A hooker who is blind, deaf and mute
"A Bangkok Dangerous Killer's Night in Mongkok"!
Shut up! I'm asking you
did the just and handsome male lead
sell out his new found killer friend?
Could I leave it open ended?
Open ended?
Assistant director Yes?
Get Soy sauce a writer's contract
Director, it's Soya
Shit, right, Soya
Yes, Sir
Open ended...
I am sure that from today onwards
the director will remember my correct name Soya
Got the call to action
The guns are hot and ready
Remember, killers have no friends
What's going on here? Let me go!
What the heck is going on?
Mr. Soya, we're the police
We have good sources to believe
that your houseguest is a bona fide assassin
What?
What's going on?
As a good and dutiful citizen, we want you
to be our inside man in this operation
We need hard evidence of his crimes
No...
This document states
that you're a volunteer in this operation at your own risk
Sign it
Thank you for cooperating with the authorities
I will nominate you for the Good Citizen Award
If you win, we'll notify you by mail
I'm so happy today, thank you
He doesn't know my killer identity
It doesn't matter, he needs to die
I'm not gonna deceive you anymore
Yes... I'm an undercover cop
I've told you before
A killer should not have any feelings
I feel like I've known him all my life
as if we're connected in our souls
like we've been through life and death
He'll think of me merely from the warmth of the sofa
I just sat on
Just like the warmth of the sofa he just sat on
will remind me of him
What could this be? But love?
You're deserting me for an undercover cop!
Setting Sun!
As a killer, I've never loved anyone
Anyone!
Why did you have to betray me?
Why don't you just shoot me!
I know I can never repay what I owe you!
If I have to die
I wish I could die in your hands
Only the bullet of a killer can set another killer free
Do it! No!
I'll never get over the fact
that our honor is nothing compared to your love!
We're destined to be enemies
Yet we admire each other
That is our tragedy
We'll be friends in our next life...
maybe...
No!
Think of it as a love affair that lasted two weeks
Now you have to do him
If I have to I'd rather Brother Spring did me
Good!
If you won't do him, I'll do it with you
I think he will be happier if I do him
Are they all gay?
I just signed the writer's contract
I bought you a present
Look at me!
Remember, men have to have a sense of pride
If you believe in yourself
see it through with confidence
Whenever you write something for the studio, be proud
Let the world know that you're the most creative one
If you love a woman
forget about her psychosis
Because to be in love
proves you're psychotic too anyway
Remember, men have responsibilities
Face your troubles head on
One more thing
Shit!
I've never had friends
Now I know how blessed to have one
Police! Freeze!
Drop your weapons!
Brother Spring!
Get in there!
Sir, there's no one in there
They've disappeared
Keep searching
That day, Brother Spring and his partner
vanished into the silver screen
Don't come near me!
I'll beat you up and bite you
You said you didn't want me
I want you to know that all this time
Brother Spring taught me about
a man's responsibility
I realize nothing else matters
I remember
that night we first kissed on the tram
After we parted, you ran back to tell me
you couldn't stand being away from me
Yes, I know you'd hit and bite me
You can even get more violent than that
This moment
I just want you to know
I really can't stand being away from you
You asked me that night if I was strong enough to lift you up
I believe I'm strong enough now
Want to give it a try then?
Heavy? Not too bad
(3 years later)
Thank you
Let's get this straight are you courting me?
Yeah... the movie's just an excuse
I truly want to go after you
You don't mind that I've had a baby?
I heard from others
I don't mind becoming the baby's father
You can be my boyfriend
No one can be the baby's father
Let's go in
Hello, baby
You go to the movie?
Yes, it's an art film
I'll come by the museum to pick you up, ok?
Since I found out I wasn't myself
I do not know where I am
I stand by the tunnel entrance waiting for myself
Today is the 7th day...
For some reasons every time we come to Hong Kong
we end up walking... a lot
Do the movies influence how we killers behave?
Or the other way round?
May be it's mutual
Brother Spring! Baby's dad
Let's watch the movie
(l n our mundane world, there should) (always be an angle for comedy)
(and there would always be) (a place for comedy)
Hurts?
Ouch, that hurts too?
Beauty and the Breast
Tall and handsome writer? That's nonsense!
Beauty and the Breast
I have told you before, killer...
I don't remember... Should not have any feeling
Do it! No!
I'll never get over... Forgot again...
Cut!
Shooting board
I swear! No swearing!
Cut!
I slap even harder...
Cut...
I told you, movies never lie
Action...
