Is it safe to leave all this money here?
Sure.
The most dangerous place is also the safest place.
Alright, it's your call.
It'll be fine.
Besides, the big boss will be here to pick it up this afternoon.
What a Day!
Mr. Zhao.
Hi Ying.
These are the recyclables in our home.
We'll leave it here.
Ok.
Thanks, Mr. Zhao.
No problem.
Thanks.
Bye bye.
Recycle green, volunteer service
Thanks to both of you.
Thanks a lot.
Hello.
We had so much garbage to throw away.
And then you showed up.
We're pretty much done cleaning things up here.
If I hired a cleaning service,
who knows how much that would cost.
That's right.
And, they even dispose the stuff for free.
Thank you. Thank you!
You're welcome.
Thank you very much.
I'll let you get back to work.
Come on guys, move it.
Clean out this warehouse.
Ok boss.
This time it's two containers.
Boss, you're going to make a killing.
The head honcho's gains funnels to everyone
Everyone gets a share.
Thank you boss.
The head honcho's gains funnels to everyone.
Dear, I want this BMW sports car.
Can I get it this time?
Of course.
Miss…
There's one more bag.
Sure.
Mister, miss.
Is this industry
especially profitable?
I was watching videos the other day.
These guys
brought a stash of cash
to buy a sports car.
I think they were also in the recycling business.
We are volunteers.
No money?
Are you stupid?
Nobody's like that nowadays.
We have our own jobs.
We are both university lecturers.
We volunteer during our spare time.
University lecturers?
Cultured people…
You see, the environment
The environment is severely polluted today.
If we can categorize waste properly,
it will help everyone
and the environment.
We are just trying to do what we can.
You're on another level.
Respect.
Please take a look.
What is this?
Falun Gong.
Boss,
we're done here.
Good job! Thanks.
Thank you.
Before we go,
here's a truth clarification pamphlet.
Oh my god.
Are you Falun Gong practitioners?
Yes, we are.
Oh damn! Take it back.
If I had known,
I wouldn't have let you in.
All the news…
I watched all of them.
You people…
Murder, suicide,
even eat kids alive.
It's too gruesome.
It's not like what you think.
That's all slander.
Get back to work! Nothing to see here.
Stop looking. Get to work.
They are all reactionaries.
Cuzz, they are university lecturers.
They're good people.
Get lost!
Shut your big mouth.
Are you done?
If you're done, then leave.
Yeah, hurry up.
We don't want to get involved with that.
You can't believe those things.
The CCP always uses lies to deceive people.
They are the real ones victimizing people.
Stop! Stop!
We are living a decent life.
They haven't harmed us.
This has nothing to do with us.
Exactly!
If the neighbours found out that we have Falun Gong people here,
then we are screwed.
Then we are in trouble.
Tell you what.
Don't get us implicated.
Get lost right now!
Go!
Boss, I can understand your feelings.
But understanding the truth
will be good for you.
Why don't you keep this and read it later?
No way!
If you don't leave now,
I'll call the police.
Beat it!
Get out of here.
Go!
The nerve of these guys.
Get lost, as far as possible.
Coming here…
Ah, damn.
As far as possible.
Come on.
I can't believe this.
Come on.
The big boss will be here soon.
Great.
It's gone?
It was under this desk.
Is it there?
No.
What's going on?
When did you two come in?
I, we just came in, boss.
You told us to check on inventory.
Yeah…
Did you go out?
We went out for lunch.
Did you see a black bag?
Did you take it?
I, we didn't see any black bag.
We didn't take anything.
If it's not you two, then who can it be?
There are only a few people here.
We didn't take it.
We really didn't see it.
I'm telling you.
If we don't find it,
both of you will die.
Is that clear?
Other people may know.
Erzi!
Get in here.
There's a big problem.
Stop whistling!
Did you see a black bag?
About this big.
Black bag?
It was under the desk.
Hurry up! Say something.
I don't think I saw it.
If it's not for uncle,
I wouldn't have hired you.
You said I had talent when you hired me.
The bag! Black bag! Stop talking useless things.
Ah!
What?
A black bag?
Yes.
It was…
Did you see it?
A black bag under the desk?
Yes!
Did you see it?
Isn't that garbage?
No!
No need to be so nervous.
Garbage…did you throw it out?
Why're you hitting me? It's just garbage.
You idiot! You'll get me killed.
Where did you throw it?
I put it in that
white recycling van.
No…
Oh my god!
Hello!
Who is it?
I have a question.
Does your company have a husband and wife,
driving a white minivan
with the slogan "Recycle green, volunteer service"?
沒有,都說了沒有
你打了多少次了
Hello?
Should we call the police?
No!
We got this money from the black market.
It's illegal.
We already have enough problems.
Why're you getting frustrated at me?
Because of your idiocy.
I told you not to put the money in a garbage bag
It's all because of your idiocy.
I thought
the most dangerous place is also the safest place.
Safe? Are we safe?
A safety deposit box is safe.
It was also broken into last time.
How would I know that idiot Erzi
would do something like this?
That damn Erzi.
I shouldn't have let him work here.
This is killing me.
Jianzi.
When there's a problem we need to think of a solution.
What solution?
Solution?
Dashan! Borrow money from him.
You helped him lots before.
Dashan…
Yes, yes. And there's Young Master Yun.
I'll go right now.
Stupid idiot…
When the pear blossoms
Spring arrives with raindrops.
When the petals fall…
Young Master, Jianzi is here.
How displeasing.
Let him in.
Come in.
Please.
Young Master Yun!
I heard that your opera skills
are improving by leaps and bounds.
One never visits a Buddhist temple for nothing.
Speak. What is it that you seek?
I'll be frank.
Young Master Yun, I misplaced a large amount of USD cash.
Please help me out.
Lost money?
Thinking of me after losing money?
What is the sum?
500,000 USD
Look at you.
I thought it was an astronomical amount.
William.
Yes, Young Master.
Go write a check for 500,000 USD.
Thank you, Young Master Yun!
Young Master…
We just imported a shipment of steel a few days ago.
We are out of USD.
Do excuse my poor memory.
Jianzi, you heard it too.
Then please help me exchange some.
Controls on foreign exchange are very strict right now.
There's not enough time.
Young Master Yun, you have a large scale family business.
Please help me think of another solution.
It's not like you're unaware of my disposition.
I…
never seek favours from others.
William. See the guest off.
Young Master Yun.
Did you forget that I got you tickets to all those celebrity opera performances.
Young Master Yun!
You can't just send me away like this.
Come on, hurry up.
What's the rush?
Dashan!
Big bro.
What's up?
I have an urgent matter.
I just lost an amount of USD in cash.
Can you help me out?
So it's about borrowing money.
How about this?
I have an appointment with an important business partner.
It's at the Holiday Inn.
I heard that there's a shipment of European lobster.
Let's savour it together.
No, no.
I don't have time.
Can you lend me the money or not?
I'm begging you.
Let me tell you, Dashan.
If I don't have this money ready,
the big boss will kill me.
You have to help me out.
Let me tell you.
It's blue lobster imported from France.
Vancouver king crab.
Let's go. We can discuss along the way.
No, no.
Dashan. Big bro is begging you.
Lend me some money, ok?
At least some.
Let's go. Friends are waiting.
I'm in a rush.
Come with me, else next time.
Dashan.
Lend me some money, ok?
I'm begging you.
Yeah, yeah.
Please, Dashan.
You nagging slowpoke.
Dashan, I really need this money.
I'm going.
Listen to me, Dashan. Dashan!
Remember how I helped you before?
You accepted my help so readily.
You ungrateful…
Dashan! Help me!
Dashan, please lend me some money!
Ugh, you are so annoying.
Don’t go Dashan! Anything would help!
Piss off!
Dashan
Ahhh…
You ungrateful fellow.
Dog bastard Yun.
Pig-faced Dashan
Have you guys no conscience?
Bunch of jerks.
What kind of people are they.
Look at these useless friends of yours.
Now that you're in trouble,
each of them ignore you.
Stop grumbling.
It's annoying.
You're annoyed? I should be the one who's upset.
I've not lived one happy day since marrying you.
I live in constant anxiety and fear.
Then what do you want me to do?
You want me to die?
Go ahead!
Fine, I'll die in front of you.
I'll die.
I'll show you.
Enough with your foolish acts.
Think about what's next.
What're you going to do when the big boss and Madame Fang arrive?
Get the staff to form a welcome procession.
What's the point of that empty show?
What else can I do?
Go get things ready.
You're such an eyesore.
What can I do…
What's with the grandiosity?
Absolutely.
Madame Fang, you grace us with your presence.
Please have a seat, Madame.
Please.
It's unnecessary. The boss is in a rush.
Where's the money?
You didn't lose it right?
Money…
It's gone.
Madame Fang.
Madame!
Is that true?
Yes…
You got balls.
It's not our fault.
Erzi lost it.
That's right. Erzi lost it.
It's got nothing to do with us.
Erzi!
Bring him here.
Madame Fang.
Erzi!
Greetings, Madame.
Where's the money?
I threw it in the garbage van.
Is that so?
Madame Fang. Please spare my life.
Why didn't you throw yourself away like the piece of trash you are?
Madame, please spare me.
Madame Fang.
Madame, please don't.
Please spare him. Madame Fang, please.
Please, Madame Fang.
Please spare my life.
Please.
Please give us another chance, Madame.
We'll come up with the money no matter what.
Please, Madame Fang.
Please give us another chance.
We'll get the money by all means. Please!
Fang.
Boss.
Forget it. It's not a big deal.
In three days, if the money is not ready,
it's not too late to cut off his hand.
Let's go
Dear,
are you ok?
This is an official blue and white porcelain kiln from the Emperor Kangxi period.
It’s worth a fortune.
You little brat.
Haven’t seen you in a decade
and now you’re pretending to be a bigshot.
Uncle Biao,
when we were neighbours,
your antique collection
was known far and wide.
Enough with the praise.
You must be in trouble?
Yes, else why would I seek your assistance?
So, this vase must be worth millions?
It's up to you.
Up to me?
Up to me
Why did you smash it?
Smash?
Brat, you are full of dishonesty.
I’ll smash you.
No, no.
Sit, please.
Here.
This is a bronze double-winged unicorn from the Warring States period.
It’s a mascot of good fortune.
It’s very rare.
Please take a look.
Rare?
I got this from Taobao
for 180 yuan.
Exactly the same.
Do you want it?
Yeah?
No, no. Uncle Biao
You’ve been up to no good since you were little.
How dare you try to trick me?
Uncle Biao, I’m wrong.
Please disregard my ignorance.
I have a real treasure here.
It's an authentic Constantin.
Vacheron Constantin?
You little brat.
You’re lying again?
Where did you get this?
I bought this for 300,000 yuan last year.
It’s a limited edition.
Just give me 200,000.
If I didn’t need money right now, I surely wouldn’t be selling it.
It’s definitely authentic.
You don’t need to tell me. I’ve got an expert eye.
Right, right.
50,000.
Deal?
Come on, it’s worth more than that, Uncle Biao.
More?
Not one single cent!
Deal or no deal? If no deal, then scram.
Fine. 50,000 it is.
I want cash.
Count it well you little brat.
Alright, Uncle Biao.
Father,
we hit the jackpot.
It’s a genuine Vacheron Constantin.
How much?
50 grand
Give it to me.
Father, you can’t always be like this.
Try your luck to get rich!
It's here.
Boss, a customer is here.
I won!
Thank you boss.
I won!
Boss…
Who advised you to come here?
It was Erluzi.
Erluzi?
Why did you kick me?
Speak the truth!
Erluzi was just arrested a few days ago.
Who're you trying to fool?
Did the cops send you?
No.
I'm telling you the truth.
I've known about your place for a long time.
I lost a sum of money today.
I came here to try my luck,
to get some action.
I don't think you have the guts.
Of course not.
Got cash?
Yeah.
You know the rules here?
Yeah.
At least one per round.
Got it?
You ready?
I guess this one.
Again.
Which one?
This one.
This one.
One more round.
Go.
I bet this one.
Lend me some money.
Let me get my money back.
Get lost!
Yo, let me…
I want to get my money back.
Let me go upstairs.
Are you afraid of me?
Why won't you let me go upstairs?
I want to get my money back.
You fraudsters, you punks.
My money!
Who hit me?
Why did you hit me?
What yer up to?
I lost my money. I'm looking for my money.
This here's our territory.
Everything belongs to us.
It's really my money.
Yer money?
Hey don't touch my money. Give it back.
Give back my money.
What stinking junk is this.
Beat him.
Stop. Stop.
Don't hit me.
Stop!
Stop it.
What're you doing?
It's my money.
Wake up!
This is our territory. Get outta here.
Beat him. Get lost!
Why're you hitting me?
Scram!
I'm looking for my money. How dare you hit me?
My money's gone.
My money…
My money…
What do you want, you punk?
You drunk, stop pretending to be a gangster.
Get in the water.
Help!
Help!
Try being drunk and acting crazy here again.
Stop drinking.
Those damn beggars and whoever pushed me into the water.
If I see them again.
I will tear them to pieces.
You're just a wuss outside.
You just attract trouble.
Softly…
Toughen up.
In three days,
will the big boss really cut off your hand?
How do I know?
I heard that he's really vicious.
I already took out all our savings.
Aren't we still off by a lot?
Do you have any other ideas?
Hmm.
I'll see how much the staff can pool together.
That's the only way.
It hurts.
Look at your sorry state.
Think of something.
Hurry up!
Yeah, let's think of something.
The boss treats us well.
Boss lady, I'll give 2000.
That's all? After how nicely the boss treated you? 5000!
5000?
Mrs. Wang, it's your turn.
I have no money.
You've worked here for so long. How can you say you have no money?
Contribute!
I have to take care of my parents and children.
My child is in university and needs money every day.
I don't care. 5000. Write it down.
I don't have it.
Xiaoxue, what about you? How much?
Not yet…
I just bought a bag.
2000. Record it.
But I really have no money.
Erzi, and you.
Don't play dumb. Everyone has to contribute.
I only have 20 left in my pocket.
20!
20! Why don't you go die!
Why am I so unlucky!
It's been three days and you don't have the money.
Chop him.
No! Madame Fang!
Why do these things happen to me?
Can we go home now? It's so late.
Yeah…
Home? What home?
Pay up!
If you don't, no one gets to leave.
Erzi, go open the door.
Think of something. Pay up!
It's me. Open the door.
Let me in.
Wow! Mister, it's you! Yes!
Cuzz, the recycling van is back.
Cuzz, the recycling van is back.
What recycling van?
The one I threw the money in.
Cuzz! Come on.
The van is back.
Is it this car?
Are they here to give money?
Mister, please return then money to us.
Please!
You came to return the money right?
Bro, you're finally back.
Erzi threw the money in your car.
Please, I beg you to return the money to us.
We searched all over for you two.
I can't believe you're back.
We were afraid that you would be distressed,
so we came back as soon as possible.
Look at all this!
You must have conditions right?
If you can return the money to us,
I'll agree to any demand.
Anything.
We don't have any conditions.
We're just here to return the money.
Really?
Then where's the money?
I'll get it.
We're saved!
The money is back.
Yeah.
Bro, take this.
Take it.
We really don't want it.
Think about it. If we wanted the money
why would we return it to you now?
Say,
what are you up to exactly to bring the money back?
There's nobody like that nowadays.
Yes there is.
Falun Gong practitioners.
Right.
Our Master tells us
that whatever we do
we must think of others first.
I can't believe that you're such good people.
I won't believe those lies again.
Never again.
I was wrong about you.
What they said in the news are all fake.
They are all lies.
We are all deceived.
Right!
My savior.
I treated you so unfairly before,
but you still brought back the money.
Come, get up.
Where can you find such good people?
Yeah! You are too good.
I'll leave these pamphlets here.
Sure, let me read it right now.
Give me one.
Have a look, everyone.
