1
00:02:34,625 --> 00:02:37,082
(On 20th of Dec. 1999,
Macau is officially handover to PR China.)

2
00:02:37,083 --> 00:02:43,374
Lower the flags
of the Republic of Portugal and Macau.

3
00:02:43,833 --> 00:02:50,915
Raise the flags of
the People's Republic of China and Macau SAR.

4
00:02:52,916 --> 00:02:58,915
Lower the flags
of the Republic of Portugal and Macau.

5
00:02:59,208 --> 00:03:06,332
Raise the flags of
the People's Republic of China and Macau SAR.

6
00:03:50,583 --> 00:03:54,082
(October 2002.)

7
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,249
That day, I shivered in the sunlight.

8
00:03:59,250 --> 00:04:01,290
The eye of the typhoon was about to pass.

9
00:04:02,375 --> 00:04:04,082
His flight was 5 hours late.

10
00:04:04,083 --> 00:04:07,207
Lucky it landed before the eye passed,

11
00:04:07,583 --> 00:04:09,707
or I would have had an even longer wait.

12
00:04:12,166 --> 00:04:15,082
Be sure to call him Kevin.

13
00:04:15,291 --> 00:04:18,207
Mr. Duan likes the ladies to call him Kevin.

14
00:04:19,375 --> 00:04:21,790
He's a wealthy real-estate developer

15
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,874
with one project in downtown Beijing,

16
00:04:24,083 --> 00:04:25,915
and a new one in the suburbs.

17
00:04:26,125 --> 00:04:27,999
Here he comes.

18
00:04:28,625 --> 00:04:31,790
I realized I'd met this "Kevin Duan" before.

19
00:04:32,250 --> 00:04:33,582
This wasn't our first encounter.

20
00:04:34,416 --> 00:04:38,082
I think of everyone I meet as "clients."

21
00:04:39,083 --> 00:04:41,082
I make a point of ignoring their names,

22
00:04:41,333 --> 00:04:45,374
so that I won't get emotionally involved.

23
00:04:46,208 --> 00:04:50,249
There's no room for emotion in my line of work.

24
00:04:51,125 --> 00:04:54,499
Not that I dare think much about
what I really do.

25
00:04:55,458 --> 00:04:57,915
Zero.

26
00:05:02,541 --> 00:05:04,999
Odds are it won't land on zero again.

27
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:07,332
What exactly are the odds?

28
00:05:08,416 --> 00:05:09,749
Depends on your luck.

29
00:05:09,750 --> 00:05:11,915
Don't bet on zero again, Mr. Duan.

30
00:05:12,041 --> 00:05:14,790
Macau hasn't had a war in 400 years.

31
00:05:14,916 --> 00:05:18,290
Nor famine or plagues. It's blessed with luck.

32
00:05:19,250 --> 00:05:19,957
Zero!

33
00:05:20,208 --> 00:05:21,624
Nice one, Mr. Duan!

34
00:05:22,375 --> 00:05:25,707
Amazing. You're on a roll, Mr. Duan!

35
00:05:29,208 --> 00:05:30,124
Share it with the others.

36
00:05:30,166 --> 00:05:31,165
Thanks, Mr. Duan!

37
00:05:31,208 --> 00:05:35,207
You brought me luck.
Buy yourself something nice.

38
00:05:35,875 --> 00:05:37,290
- Let's go.
- Yes, sir.

39
00:05:37,291 --> 00:05:38,624
- Liu.
- Mr. Duan.

40
00:05:38,625 --> 00:05:39,749
This is Kevin.

41
00:05:40,958 --> 00:05:42,207
Hello, Mr. Duan.

42
00:05:42,458 --> 00:05:44,999
- This is Ms. Mei.
- Hello, Ms. Mei.

43
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,332
Here in Macau, "Mei" also means bad luck.

44
00:05:47,416 --> 00:05:48,957
Best call her Xiao-Ou.

45
00:05:49,375 --> 00:05:51,082
Sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Ou.

46
00:05:51,916 --> 00:05:55,457
After that stiff introduction,
the ice between us melted.

47
00:05:55,916 --> 00:05:58,540
I wasn't sure if the change
came from him, or from me.

48
00:05:59,166 --> 00:06:02,457
And I wasn't sure if he didn't recognize me,
or simply didn't want to.

49
00:06:03,083 --> 00:06:04,499
He wasn't at all like Liu described,

50
00:06:05,541 --> 00:06:07,624
but he was still the same man

51
00:06:07,625 --> 00:06:10,457
I'd once struck up a conversation with.

52
00:06:10,833 --> 00:06:11,499
I didn't mind.

53
00:06:12,833 --> 00:06:14,624
Ms. Ou... that's a nice-sounding name.

54
00:06:16,708 --> 00:06:18,749
Thank you, Mr. Duan.

55
00:06:21,250 --> 00:06:22,624
You're from Beijing, Ms. Ou?

56
00:06:23,125 --> 00:06:26,624
Yes, but I've lived down south for years.

57
00:06:27,708 --> 00:06:31,207
Have I picked up the accent? Or not?

58
00:06:41,708 --> 00:06:44,999
Mr. Duan. Mr. Liu. This way, please.

59
00:06:50,416 --> 00:06:51,207
Don't go too far.

60
00:06:51,208 --> 00:06:52,499
I won't be long.

61
00:06:57,791 --> 00:06:59,207
Would you like a drink?

62
00:07:00,708 --> 00:07:03,707
Gambling and drinking don't mix.

63
00:07:04,166 --> 00:07:06,207
One vice per night is enough.

64
00:07:10,833 --> 00:07:13,249
That night,
I found myself alone with Kevin Duan.

65
00:07:14,250 --> 00:07:17,374
I felt uncomfortable after Liu left us,

66
00:07:18,041 --> 00:07:21,540
like we'd suddenly lost our chaperone.

67
00:07:22,208 --> 00:07:26,124
Turns out Kevin Duan
had better luck than I'd expected.

68
00:07:29,583 --> 00:07:31,082
Can we switch dealers?

69
00:07:31,083 --> 00:07:33,207
Yes. Good luck, sir.

70
00:07:43,125 --> 00:07:44,624
Your cards, sir.

71
00:07:45,041 --> 00:07:46,540
Show them.

72
00:07:50,041 --> 00:07:51,374
Player wins.

73
00:07:54,208 --> 00:07:55,790
Your winnings, sir.

74
00:07:58,750 --> 00:07:59,624
What's that about?

75
00:08:00,208 --> 00:08:02,207
Just exchanging chips.

76
00:08:02,500 --> 00:08:04,499
Place your bets.

77
00:08:11,791 --> 00:08:13,290
Player wins.

78
00:08:17,750 --> 00:08:19,207
Cheers, Mr. Duan!

79
00:08:19,291 --> 00:08:20,707
What does that mean?

80
00:08:20,958 --> 00:08:23,499
It means that you should tip Zhuan.

81
00:08:25,208 --> 00:08:27,249
This is fun. Who came up with this?

82
00:08:28,125 --> 00:08:29,665
If there were a Nobel Prize for math,

83
00:08:29,666 --> 00:08:31,915
he'd win it.

84
00:08:32,625 --> 00:08:33,624
Excuse me, I have to make a call.

85
00:08:33,625 --> 00:08:35,540
Zhuan will look after you.

86
00:08:35,875 --> 00:08:37,207
Don't go.

87
00:08:37,208 --> 00:08:39,915
You're my good luck charm.

88
00:08:47,541 --> 00:08:51,415
That's baccarat.
He's about to win three in a row.

89
00:08:51,833 --> 00:08:54,207
He's hardcore. That's how to play.

90
00:08:56,958 --> 00:08:58,374
Player wins.

91
00:08:59,833 --> 00:09:02,457
If you want to play,
just drop my name to get chips.

92
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:03,499
Thanks, Uncle Hua.

93
00:09:03,500 --> 00:09:04,415
Don't mention it.

94
00:09:22,791 --> 00:09:24,624
Good afternoon, Mr. Duan.

95
00:09:24,625 --> 00:09:26,957
We'll arrange a private car for you next time.

96
00:09:28,208 --> 00:09:29,624
That's excellent service.

97
00:09:30,833 --> 00:09:33,499
You played so well, you earned it.

98
00:09:35,750 --> 00:09:37,915
Kevin Duan never talked about himself.

99
00:09:38,833 --> 00:09:42,207
Each visit, before he left,
we'd stroll by the beach,

100
00:09:42,833 --> 00:09:46,165
enjoying the pristine beauty of a place

101
00:09:46,166 --> 00:09:48,915
that didn't belong to us.

102
00:09:50,375 --> 00:09:52,540
But I was labouring under a delusion.

103
00:09:53,208 --> 00:09:57,832
Macau was just the stage on which we acted out

104
00:09:58,750 --> 00:10:02,874
an impossible ideal
of platonic male-female friendship.

105
00:10:02,875 --> 00:10:04,540
an impossible ideal
of platonic male-female friendship.

106
00:10:06,875 --> 00:10:09,207
Not long after that,
I went to Beijing to collect Liu's debt.

107
00:10:09,208 --> 00:10:10,957
Not long after that,
I went to Beijing to collect Liu's debt.

108
00:10:11,458 --> 00:10:14,249
While there, I made some enquiries about Duan.

109
00:10:14,500 --> 00:10:18,082
Seems he'd used a recent windfall
to buy a tract of land.

110
00:10:18,333 --> 00:10:20,207
He was rumored to be well-connected.

111
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:21,999
I didn't give it much thought.

112
00:10:22,208 --> 00:10:24,915
When I cornered Liu at an art exhibition,

113
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:28,540
I met another person
who would shape my life: Shi Qilan.

114
00:10:29,416 --> 00:10:30,457
Mr. Liu.

115
00:10:31,083 --> 00:10:32,499
How'd you find me here?

116
00:10:32,583 --> 00:10:34,249
It wasn't easy.

117
00:10:34,833 --> 00:10:36,040
About your debt, we've...

118
00:10:36,041 --> 00:10:37,332
Listen, Xiao-Ou...

119
00:10:37,875 --> 00:10:39,749
Now's not the time.

120
00:10:39,958 --> 00:10:41,415
Don't embarrass me.

121
00:10:41,416 --> 00:10:43,082
I already gave you three month's grace.

122
00:10:43,291 --> 00:10:45,124
We settle this today, or I post

123
00:10:45,250 --> 00:10:47,124
your name to our debtor website.

124
00:10:47,125 --> 00:10:48,040
Don't do that...

125
00:10:48,041 --> 00:10:50,374
Liu? Let's talk another day.

126
00:10:50,375 --> 00:10:51,374
Wait! Actually, this is the friend
I'm buying your artworks for.

127
00:10:51,375 --> 00:10:54,499
Wait! Actually, this is the friend
I'm buying your artworks for.

128
00:10:54,500 --> 00:10:55,707
Wait! Actually, this is the friend
I'm buying your artworks for.

129
00:10:56,208 --> 00:10:57,415
Let me introduce you two.

130
00:10:57,416 --> 00:10:58,957
His works are very valuable.

131
00:10:59,500 --> 00:11:00,874
And they'll appreciate.

132
00:11:02,250 --> 00:11:03,207
Take a few as collateral.

133
00:11:03,208 --> 00:11:05,082
Allow me to introduce Ms. Ou from Macau.

134
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:09,374
What's so good about these?

135
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,749
They're not as good as the ones over there.

136
00:11:15,291 --> 00:11:16,124
Why's that?

137
00:11:16,291 --> 00:11:17,165
What do you mean?

138
00:11:17,166 --> 00:11:18,582
Those are my early works.

139
00:11:18,833 --> 00:11:20,290
I want to know why you like them.

140
00:11:20,750 --> 00:11:21,999
I don't know.

141
00:11:22,416 --> 00:11:23,415
It's just a feeling.

142
00:11:23,416 --> 00:11:25,207
Ms. Ou has quite an eye for art.

143
00:11:25,541 --> 00:11:26,499
Say, why don't you invite her to your studio?

144
00:11:26,500 --> 00:11:28,249
Say, why don't you invite her to your studio?

145
00:11:29,791 --> 00:11:31,415
Walking into his studio,

146
00:11:31,708 --> 00:11:33,707
I felt like I understood him.

147
00:11:34,208 --> 00:11:34,957
He was unlike anyone I'd met.

148
00:11:34,958 --> 00:11:36,915
He was unlike anyone I'd met.

149
00:11:36,916 --> 00:11:37,915
He was unlike anyone I'd met.

150
00:11:38,166 --> 00:11:43,540
There was a mingled scent of plaster and metal,
wood and plants.

151
00:11:43,875 --> 00:11:46,249
He seemed more artisan than artist,

152
00:11:46,250 --> 00:11:48,249
a master craftsman.

153
00:11:48,416 --> 00:11:49,874
I couldn't guess his age,

154
00:11:50,041 --> 00:11:51,749
or that he was married,

155
00:11:51,916 --> 00:11:53,332
with a baby on the way...

156
00:11:53,333 --> 00:11:55,707
We have a guest?

157
00:11:56,375 --> 00:11:57,749
Hi. I'm Mei Xiao-Ou.

158
00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:58,999
I'm Xiao-Xiao.

159
00:11:59,166 --> 00:12:00,040
You're pregnant.

160
00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:01,165
That's right.

161
00:12:01,208 --> 00:12:02,165
When's the due date?

162
00:12:02,583 --> 00:12:04,707
June 17th.

163
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,582
You two talk. I'll make some tea.

164
00:12:07,958 --> 00:12:08,832
What are you doing?

165
00:12:09,041 --> 00:12:10,749
Sculpting you. Do you mind?

166
00:12:11,416 --> 00:12:12,874
What's interesting about me?

167
00:12:13,083 --> 00:12:16,332
My husband's like a madman
when inspiration strikes.

168
00:12:16,541 --> 00:12:18,790
Don't mind him, Ms. Mei.

169
00:12:19,541 --> 00:12:20,707
Call me Xiao-Ou.

170
00:12:20,916 --> 00:12:22,499
My surname isn't very lucky.

171
00:12:22,791 --> 00:12:26,290
You haven't told me what a casino broker does.

172
00:12:27,333 --> 00:12:28,874
Does that have something to do
with the sculpture?

173
00:12:29,083 --> 00:12:30,332
Sure it does.

174
00:12:31,791 --> 00:12:34,249
Sculpting someone is a process of
getting to know them.

175
00:12:35,625 --> 00:12:38,249
Knowing about your profession,
life and personality

176
00:12:38,875 --> 00:12:40,707
helps me bring it to life.

177
00:12:42,083 --> 00:12:46,207
Well, basically... I work in customer service.

178
00:12:46,708 --> 00:12:47,915
What kind of service?

179
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,249
Depends what the client wants.

180
00:12:51,458 --> 00:12:53,249
If a client wants chips,
he can buy them in cash from the casino,

181
00:12:53,541 --> 00:12:56,124
or get a line of credit with us,

182
00:12:56,500 --> 00:12:58,790
then pay back the credit line with cash.

183
00:12:59,125 --> 00:13:00,499
I'm like a middleman.

184
00:13:00,541 --> 00:13:02,540
Or a walking credit card.

185
00:13:02,875 --> 00:13:04,540
You could say that.

186
00:13:05,208 --> 00:13:08,457
Isn't it more convenient
to buy chips with cash?

187
00:13:08,708 --> 00:13:10,832
We provide anonymity.

188
00:13:11,041 --> 00:13:12,415
That's great if your clients win,

189
00:13:12,791 --> 00:13:13,915
but what if they lose?

190
00:13:14,625 --> 00:13:16,207
We make them pay back the debt.

191
00:13:17,583 --> 00:13:19,790
Sounds risky.

192
00:13:20,375 --> 00:13:23,957
If a few clients renege, you could go bankrupt.

193
00:13:24,250 --> 00:13:25,999
That rarely happens.

194
00:13:27,833 --> 00:13:29,874
Look me up if you come to Macau.

195
00:13:29,958 --> 00:13:31,124
I'll show you around.

196
00:13:31,625 --> 00:13:32,332
Great.

197
00:13:32,541 --> 00:13:34,540
Let's go after the baby's born.

198
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,124
You can show us around then.

199
00:13:36,208 --> 00:13:37,082
Sure thing.

200
00:13:38,375 --> 00:13:39,582
Have some tea.

201
00:13:43,791 --> 00:13:45,874
Liu paid his debt in full.

202
00:13:46,541 --> 00:13:49,374
Ms. Fay is really happy with you.

203
00:13:50,458 --> 00:13:52,207
She upped your quota,

204
00:13:52,916 --> 00:13:54,832
and she's letting me work with you
in the VIP room.

205
00:13:55,750 --> 00:13:57,999
I didn't realise Liu was so easily spooked.

206
00:13:58,375 --> 00:14:01,207
Ms. Fay's been talking you up to everyone,

207
00:14:01,208 --> 00:14:03,582
saying what a great job you did.

208
00:14:17,166 --> 00:14:21,082
Not long after that,
Shi Qilan really did visit Macau.

209
00:14:21,708 --> 00:14:24,832
He said that to sculpt me,
he needed to understand me,

210
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,124
to understand my work and my environment.

211
00:14:28,958 --> 00:14:32,499
I wasn't keen on it,
but I agreed to satisfy his curiosity.

212
00:14:32,500 --> 00:14:34,374
Can you take me to the casino?

213
00:14:36,125 --> 00:14:40,082
Fine. I suppose gambling's inevitable, here.

214
00:14:40,208 --> 00:14:41,707
I'll give you a tour,

215
00:14:41,958 --> 00:14:43,332
but don't miss your flight.

216
00:14:43,333 --> 00:14:45,457
You have three hours.

217
00:14:46,208 --> 00:14:47,207
I'll get you some chips.

218
00:14:47,500 --> 00:14:48,832
Okay.

219
00:14:54,875 --> 00:14:56,082
Let's go.

220
00:15:38,166 --> 00:15:41,457
We win! Okay, let's cash out.

221
00:15:42,083 --> 00:15:44,332
I get it now. Give me the chips.

222
00:15:54,541 --> 00:15:56,374
Place your bets.

223
00:15:59,416 --> 00:16:01,040
All bets are in.

224
00:16:02,541 --> 00:16:04,915
Your cards, sir.

225
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,249
What did you get?

226
00:16:10,125 --> 00:16:11,832
Banker has 5.

227
00:16:12,458 --> 00:16:13,415
Did I win?

228
00:16:13,416 --> 00:16:14,999
Yes, you have 9.

229
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:16,957
Your winnings, sir.

230
00:16:17,250 --> 00:16:19,749
This is fun. Really fun.

231
00:16:20,166 --> 00:16:22,457
See? If I hadn't become your client,

232
00:16:22,958 --> 00:16:23,999
how could I understand you?

233
00:16:24,250 --> 00:16:27,124
Right away, my suspicions were confirmed.

234
00:16:27,125 --> 00:16:29,249
Right away, my suspicions were confirmed.

235
00:16:30,125 --> 00:16:32,540
He took to it too quickly,
too enthusiastically.

236
00:16:32,875 --> 00:16:34,624
He couldn't possibly be new at this.

237
00:16:34,750 --> 00:16:36,540
I had a bad feeling about him.

238
00:16:37,166 --> 00:16:38,082
Hello?

239
00:16:40,208 --> 00:16:41,290
I have to take care of something.

240
00:16:41,541 --> 00:16:42,165
Go ahead.

241
00:16:42,333 --> 00:16:43,332
Don't miss your flight.

242
00:16:43,333 --> 00:16:44,290
Your cards, sir.

243
00:16:52,250 --> 00:16:54,124
Hey, you're on a roll.

244
00:16:55,208 --> 00:16:56,624
Player wins.

245
00:17:03,166 --> 00:17:04,124
Your winnings, sir.

246
00:17:04,125 --> 00:17:04,915
Your winnings, sir.

247
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,124
How about a side bet?

248
00:17:07,958 --> 00:17:09,457
How about a side bet?

249
00:17:10,625 --> 00:17:13,582
Under the table, triple your fun.

250
00:17:14,291 --> 00:17:19,165
If you win,
I'll pay you triple your table winnings.

251
00:17:19,416 --> 00:17:20,415
How does that sound?

252
00:17:20,416 --> 00:17:21,457
How does that sound?

253
00:17:42,583 --> 00:17:46,582
The phone number
you're trying to reach is unavailable.

254
00:17:48,875 --> 00:17:51,540
(April, 2003.)

255
00:17:52,416 --> 00:17:54,790
At the height of the SARS outbreak,

256
00:17:54,791 --> 00:17:56,874
airports and ports closed.

257
00:17:57,083 --> 00:17:59,124
Business deals fell through.

258
00:17:59,125 --> 00:18:01,999
Many of my clients fled to Macau.

259
00:18:02,291 --> 00:18:05,207
They spent a month in the casino,
waiting for the outbreak to end.

260
00:18:05,333 --> 00:18:07,082
As of today, April 27th, 2003,

261
00:18:07,166 --> 00:18:11,790
the nationwide death toll
from SARS stands at 18.

262
00:18:11,916 --> 00:18:13,624
One death was reported in Beijing.

263
00:18:13,625 --> 00:18:19,040
All train stations and airports
will begin scanning travelers' temperature...

264
00:18:19,208 --> 00:18:19,957
Nine!

265
00:18:19,958 --> 00:18:21,707
Wow! That's amazing!

266
00:18:21,708 --> 00:18:22,707
Player wins.

267
00:18:26,500 --> 00:18:27,499
That's amazing!

268
00:18:30,375 --> 00:18:34,040
Mr. Shi! When did you arrive?

269
00:18:36,166 --> 00:18:39,540
I never left.
There's a SARS outbreak in Beijing.

270
00:18:39,916 --> 00:18:41,374
Why didn't you call me?

271
00:18:41,583 --> 00:18:44,582
I figure I can buy my own chips.

272
00:18:45,416 --> 00:18:47,249
Why don't we talk later?

273
00:18:49,875 --> 00:18:51,624
Your cards, sir.

274
00:18:59,958 --> 00:19:02,915
I start losing
when you're watching over my shoulder.

275
00:19:08,208 --> 00:19:10,457
When did Shi Qilan show up?

276
00:19:12,291 --> 00:19:14,415
Are you hiding something from me?

277
00:19:15,541 --> 00:19:16,915
Hey, Cat.

278
00:19:17,500 --> 00:19:20,457
I got a package here
that I can't handle on my own.

279
00:19:22,958 --> 00:19:24,415
This way, Cat.

280
00:19:25,416 --> 00:19:27,582
Hua. Is the package still winning?

281
00:19:28,375 --> 00:19:29,457
Come here.

282
00:19:30,041 --> 00:19:31,915
I'll cover the losses from before.

283
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,707
But our new contract
means a three-way split.

284
00:19:34,708 --> 00:19:36,499
Sound fair?

285
00:19:45,791 --> 00:19:47,707
Player wins.

286
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,249
I've won enough. Let's call it a day.

287
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,415
Get your boss to cash me out.

288
00:19:56,791 --> 00:20:00,124
Good job, Mr. Shi!

289
00:20:00,583 --> 00:20:04,165
You're on a roll. It'd be a shame to stop now.

290
00:20:06,125 --> 00:20:09,374
Make Mr. Shi some of my special tea.

291
00:20:14,625 --> 00:20:16,290
Is this one of Hua's scams?

292
00:20:17,208 --> 00:20:19,874
How could you get mixed up in this?

293
00:20:22,958 --> 00:20:24,582
Stay away from Shi Qilan.

294
00:20:24,708 --> 00:20:28,040
He'll never be a client of mine.

295
00:20:29,333 --> 00:20:33,290
In October 2003,
Beijing lifted the SARS travel ban.

296
00:20:33,875 --> 00:20:37,332
Right after that, I got a call from Xiao-Xiao

297
00:20:37,500 --> 00:20:39,207
saying Shi Qilan had gone missing.

298
00:20:44,166 --> 00:20:44,790
(2004)

299
00:20:44,791 --> 00:20:48,290
By 2004, Duan's business had expanded

300
00:20:48,625 --> 00:20:50,832
and he was bringing us more clients.

301
00:20:51,041 --> 00:20:52,540
We became business partners.

302
00:20:52,541 --> 00:20:54,040
Hello, Mr. Duan.

303
00:20:54,708 --> 00:20:55,540
Welcome.

304
00:20:55,541 --> 00:20:56,790
Hello, there.

305
00:20:57,208 --> 00:20:59,582
My friends and I
were in France inspecting vineyards.

306
00:20:59,708 --> 00:21:00,790
Thought we'd stop by.

307
00:21:00,791 --> 00:21:02,207
These are my friends, Xiao-Ou and Cat.

308
00:21:02,208 --> 00:21:04,082
These are my friends, Xiao-Ou and Cat.

309
00:21:04,083 --> 00:21:05,415
Welcome. The car's waiting.

310
00:21:05,416 --> 00:21:06,165
Welcome. The car's waiting.

311
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:07,207
- Let's go.
- This way, please.

312
00:21:08,041 --> 00:21:08,957
Xiao-Ou!

313
00:21:10,708 --> 00:21:13,749
Liu. What brings you here?

314
00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:15,624
I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel,

315
00:21:15,666 --> 00:21:18,790
hoping the high-rollers
drop some crumbs for me.

316
00:21:19,458 --> 00:21:21,499
Things can't be that bad.

317
00:21:23,583 --> 00:21:28,082
Listen, Duan's buddies are rich, powerful guys.

318
00:21:28,083 --> 00:21:29,457
They want to up the ante

319
00:21:29,750 --> 00:21:30,832
with a five-fold side bet.

320
00:21:30,916 --> 00:21:32,624
I won't do anything illegal.

321
00:21:32,833 --> 00:21:34,915
Besides, people who bet like that

322
00:21:35,083 --> 00:21:38,249
end up losing everything
and are never heard from again.

323
00:21:39,166 --> 00:21:40,374
I understand...

324
00:21:40,958 --> 00:21:41,749
Mr. Duan.

325
00:21:41,791 --> 00:21:42,832
Mr. Duan.

326
00:21:48,708 --> 00:21:50,540
Show my friends a good time.

327
00:21:51,250 --> 00:21:52,249
But don't go overboard.

328
00:21:52,791 --> 00:21:53,707
No worries.

329
00:22:07,916 --> 00:22:11,332
I can tell that you don't want me
making side bets.

330
00:22:13,333 --> 00:22:14,207
Of course not.

331
00:22:14,708 --> 00:22:15,749
Why not?

332
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,624
Will we still be friends tomorrow,

333
00:22:20,375 --> 00:22:22,415
whether you win or lose tonight?

334
00:22:23,208 --> 00:22:25,624
I don't see why not.

335
00:22:26,041 --> 00:22:28,707
You can gamble against a casino,
but not against a friend.

336
00:22:37,875 --> 00:22:41,124
What did Cat want with you?

337
00:22:41,125 --> 00:22:44,374
Zhuan will fund your play
at the amount we agreed on.

338
00:22:44,916 --> 00:22:46,665
I'll be back soon.

339
00:22:48,458 --> 00:22:49,582
This way.

340
00:22:53,333 --> 00:22:54,957
He's upstairs.

341
00:23:02,916 --> 00:23:07,207
Mr. Shi! How's the food here?

342
00:23:07,958 --> 00:23:10,707
Tell Ms. Ou what you told me.

343
00:23:19,125 --> 00:23:20,832
You're just going to sulk?

344
00:23:23,291 --> 00:23:24,332
Xiao-Ou...

345
00:23:26,416 --> 00:23:30,707
I know I should have gone to you first.

346
00:23:31,166 --> 00:23:32,457
You're a grown man.

347
00:23:32,750 --> 00:23:34,915
At least call your wife.

348
00:23:36,041 --> 00:23:37,540
The loan sharks have moved into your house!

349
00:23:37,791 --> 00:23:38,790
Waiter!

350
00:23:44,750 --> 00:23:46,790
Couldn't you have picked
a better place to hide?

351
00:23:47,208 --> 00:23:49,415
It's called hiding in plain sight. Right, Cat?

352
00:23:49,791 --> 00:23:52,457
I'm safer in Macau.

353
00:23:54,791 --> 00:23:57,499
One of these days, you'll lose your wife, too.

354
00:23:57,708 --> 00:24:00,707
I can stand to lose everything, except her.

355
00:24:01,125 --> 00:24:05,332
How the fuck can you say that? Go to hell!

356
00:24:07,500 --> 00:24:09,915
I brought some expensive rosewood.

357
00:24:10,583 --> 00:24:12,082
I'll give you the sculptures

358
00:24:12,375 --> 00:24:14,957
as collateral, to finance my comeback.

359
00:24:15,291 --> 00:24:17,915
I'm still your client, after all.

360
00:24:17,916 --> 00:24:20,165
You've never been my client.

361
00:24:22,916 --> 00:24:24,332
Looks like you're done. Time to go.

362
00:24:24,333 --> 00:24:25,374
Looks like you're done. Time to go.

363
00:24:25,666 --> 00:24:27,374
I can leave on my own.

364
00:24:31,125 --> 00:24:33,582
Xiao-Ou, find me a place to stay.

365
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,332
Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Duan.

366
00:24:41,208 --> 00:24:42,832
You were gone for a while.

367
00:24:42,833 --> 00:24:44,499
Don't play if luck isn't on your side today.

368
00:24:45,041 --> 00:24:46,957
Have a sauna and get a good night's sleep.

369
00:24:47,208 --> 00:24:48,624
We'll meet again tomorrow.

370
00:24:49,291 --> 00:24:50,124
Sure.

371
00:24:52,291 --> 00:24:54,040
It must've been a serious problem.

372
00:24:54,625 --> 00:24:57,332
Do you have to get back to it after this?

373
00:24:57,333 --> 00:25:00,582
Do you have to get back to it after this?

374
00:25:01,125 --> 00:25:02,290
It's all settled.

375
00:25:02,708 --> 00:25:06,207
I've settled things, too.
I've wired you what I owe.

376
00:25:10,041 --> 00:25:11,290
Thanks, Mr. Duan.

377
00:25:11,875 --> 00:25:12,874
Take your time.

378
00:25:13,291 --> 00:25:15,915
Time is important in your line of work.

379
00:25:19,083 --> 00:25:20,999
When did you get divorced?

380
00:25:22,500 --> 00:25:24,249
When my son was two.

381
00:25:29,583 --> 00:25:32,332
Lu Jin-Tong is my son's father.

382
00:25:32,625 --> 00:25:34,624
I loved him deeply once.

383
00:25:34,875 --> 00:25:37,290
A child is a woman's ultimate trump card.

384
00:25:37,458 --> 00:25:40,624
I've been playing that card
since before my son was even born.

385
00:25:40,625 --> 00:25:43,582
I've been playing that card
since before my son was even born.

386
00:25:44,041 --> 00:25:45,290
Jin-Tong,

387
00:25:45,291 --> 00:25:48,290
if you don't stop gambling,
I'll get rid of the kid.

388
00:25:49,291 --> 00:25:50,707
Don't make a scene.

389
00:25:50,875 --> 00:25:52,082
I'm winning here.

390
00:25:52,208 --> 00:25:54,124
I'm not messing around.
Quit while you're ahead.

391
00:25:55,500 --> 00:25:57,374
Don't you want a house?

392
00:25:57,583 --> 00:26:00,624
This will pay for a house,
a garden and our kid's tuition!

393
00:26:00,958 --> 00:26:02,207
You're still betting?

394
00:26:02,416 --> 00:26:04,540
Did you not hear a word I said?

395
00:26:05,041 --> 00:26:07,624
I'm going to start jumping. You hear me now?

396
00:26:07,625 --> 00:26:10,582
I'm going to start jumping. You hear me now?

397
00:26:10,583 --> 00:26:11,582
Stop that!

398
00:26:11,583 --> 00:26:12,915
What if the kid falls out?

399
00:26:12,916 --> 00:26:15,415
Exactly! I'll keep jumping
until you quit gambling.

400
00:26:16,291 --> 00:26:18,332
You hear me? Let's go, now!

401
00:26:18,583 --> 00:26:19,707
Just one peek.

402
00:26:19,916 --> 00:26:24,082
Stop it! Let's go!

403
00:26:24,125 --> 00:26:26,415
Blackjack. Dealer wins.

404
00:26:27,208 --> 00:26:30,332
Come on, let's go!

405
00:26:30,833 --> 00:26:32,457
What the hell?

406
00:26:33,375 --> 00:26:34,207
I was doing just fine until you showed up!

407
00:26:34,208 --> 00:26:34,957
I was doing just fine until you showed up!

408
00:26:35,083 --> 00:26:36,749
You know how much I had riding on that?

409
00:26:36,916 --> 00:26:39,540
You screwed my winning streak!

410
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,874
After that beating,

411
00:26:42,208 --> 00:26:44,790
I knew I needed a place to hide.

412
00:26:45,291 --> 00:26:49,499
Jin-Tong's friend Shang
had gotten him hooked on gambling.

413
00:26:50,625 --> 00:26:53,082
When Shang heard I'd left Jin-Tong,

414
00:26:53,083 --> 00:26:55,082
he tracked me down.

415
00:26:55,541 --> 00:26:57,165
Shang told me he loved me.

416
00:26:57,416 --> 00:27:00,040
And I needed a place to stay.

417
00:27:00,791 --> 00:27:03,540
When Shang got me a job in the casino,

418
00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:06,040
I found I had a talent
for identifying lucrative clients.

419
00:27:06,041 --> 00:27:08,832
I found I had a talent
for identifying lucrative clients.

420
00:27:09,041 --> 00:27:10,249
Xiao-Ou.

421
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,332
I'm leaving Macau tomorrow.

422
00:27:14,791 --> 00:27:15,749
Will you come with me?

423
00:27:20,416 --> 00:27:23,290
I've already cleared my debt to you.

424
00:27:29,125 --> 00:27:31,207
You can have the house.

425
00:27:31,625 --> 00:27:33,374
Take care of yourself.

426
00:27:33,958 --> 00:27:37,790
I may not come back from Europe this time.

427
00:27:52,375 --> 00:27:54,332
Xiao-Ou, it's Hua.

428
00:27:57,500 --> 00:27:58,749
You stalking me?

429
00:27:58,750 --> 00:28:00,457
I spotted Shang leaving.

430
00:28:01,250 --> 00:28:02,624
I thought he was taking care of you.

431
00:28:03,458 --> 00:28:04,249
Listen, men like him
only care about themselves.

432
00:28:04,250 --> 00:28:05,499
Listen, men like him
only care about themselves.

433
00:28:05,500 --> 00:28:06,790
They run at the first sign of trouble.

434
00:28:07,500 --> 00:28:08,540
Go away.

435
00:28:09,333 --> 00:28:10,124
What the hell?

436
00:28:10,125 --> 00:28:11,915
Did you forget that you're Chinese?

437
00:28:12,458 --> 00:28:14,249
The handover's coming up.

438
00:28:14,875 --> 00:28:16,374
Soon, this'll be our turf.

439
00:28:16,375 --> 00:28:19,665
Hua was the first man I met in Macau.

440
00:28:20,208 --> 00:28:21,915
He was Shang's man then,

441
00:28:21,916 --> 00:28:24,082
but he always had his eye on me.

442
00:28:25,541 --> 00:28:30,790
You need someone like Hua or Cat
to survive in Macau.

443
00:28:33,541 --> 00:28:34,124
Shi Qilan gave us the slip,
and he's back at the tables.

444
00:28:34,125 --> 00:28:36,874
Shi Qilan gave us the slip,
and he's back at the tables.

445
00:28:36,875 --> 00:28:38,040
He even pawned his watch.

446
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:40,165
Come on.

447
00:28:40,708 --> 00:28:44,915
Come on, nine! Yes! A winner!

448
00:28:48,833 --> 00:28:49,999
Ms. Ou. Cat.

449
00:28:50,291 --> 00:28:51,582
How long's he been here?

450
00:28:52,541 --> 00:28:53,624
Since dawn.

451
00:28:53,625 --> 00:28:54,832
He started with nothing.

452
00:28:54,958 --> 00:28:57,165
At first, he just wandered around...

453
00:29:04,458 --> 00:29:06,957
Then he found himself a lucky table.

454
00:29:07,250 --> 00:29:08,582
Place your bets.

455
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,499
Trust me, bet on the player.

456
00:29:12,541 --> 00:29:13,790
Who pays if I lose?

457
00:29:13,875 --> 00:29:15,332
I do.

458
00:29:16,125 --> 00:29:18,540
Just tip me if you win.

459
00:29:18,708 --> 00:29:20,249
We'll split it 50-50.

460
00:29:20,416 --> 00:29:21,749
Deal.

461
00:29:22,750 --> 00:29:24,540
Your cards, ma'am.

462
00:29:26,333 --> 00:29:31,915
Nine! Nine! Yes, we won!

463
00:29:35,750 --> 00:29:37,790
Thank you. Same bet.

464
00:29:37,791 --> 00:29:38,915
She left, but he kept playing.

465
00:29:38,916 --> 00:29:40,249
She left, but he kept playing.

466
00:29:40,250 --> 00:29:41,499
I'll go call him off.

467
00:29:43,833 --> 00:29:46,374
He'll go bust soon enough.

468
00:29:47,958 --> 00:29:50,290
I knew I should've taken him on.

469
00:29:51,041 --> 00:29:52,749
I told you,

470
00:29:52,750 --> 00:29:54,665
we don't want him as a client.

471
00:30:15,833 --> 00:30:17,332
Did you lose it all?

472
00:30:24,583 --> 00:30:27,082
I was up 980 grand at one point.

473
00:30:32,541 --> 00:30:37,124
I should've cashed out then.

474
00:30:37,791 --> 00:30:41,290
But the banker was on a streak,

475
00:30:41,291 --> 00:30:43,457
and I didn't want to miss out.

476
00:30:45,916 --> 00:30:48,374
One hand was all it took to lose everything.

477
00:30:49,166 --> 00:30:51,374
The banker had won 15 hands straight,

478
00:30:51,375 --> 00:30:53,207
but I should've bet on the player.

479
00:30:55,958 --> 00:31:00,207
Even the smartest player
gets it wrong sometimes.

480
00:31:00,750 --> 00:31:02,415
Let's go eat.

481
00:31:03,958 --> 00:31:04,624
A receipt?

482
00:31:04,625 --> 00:31:05,874
(I here by confirm that I have received
several rosewood artworks from Qilan.)

483
00:31:05,875 --> 00:31:06,790
(Mei Xiao-Ou. 18th of Oct., 2004)

484
00:31:09,541 --> 00:31:13,082
There's no rosewood in that suitcase.

485
00:31:13,375 --> 00:31:14,624
What?

486
00:31:15,333 --> 00:31:16,540
I don't have any rosewood.

487
00:31:16,958 --> 00:31:18,082
What's in the suitcase, then?

488
00:31:18,291 --> 00:31:20,749
A bag of rice and two bags of noodles.

489
00:31:21,166 --> 00:31:22,040
Shall we go?

490
00:31:22,125 --> 00:31:23,707
You bastard!

491
00:31:23,958 --> 00:31:25,332
You spent thousands lugging
around rice and noodles, you piece of shit?

492
00:31:25,333 --> 00:31:28,207
You spent thousands lugging
around rice and noodles, you piece of shit?

493
00:31:28,500 --> 00:31:31,374
How could you screw me over, of all people?

494
00:31:39,791 --> 00:31:40,999
Calm down and let me explain.

495
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,124
Explain what, you asshole?

496
00:31:42,125 --> 00:31:43,332
Explain what, you asshole?

497
00:31:43,333 --> 00:31:46,124
There's not an ounce of truth in you!

498
00:31:46,458 --> 00:31:48,040
I did have it.

499
00:31:48,333 --> 00:31:50,582
You weren't sleeping yesterday, were you?

500
00:31:50,583 --> 00:31:55,249
You went out, sold the wood cheap
and gambled the money away!

501
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:58,915
You didn't see how well I was doing.

502
00:31:59,166 --> 00:32:00,790
Of course I didn't!

503
00:32:09,416 --> 00:32:10,499
Ms. Ou, Cat.

504
00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:11,665
Ms. Ou, Cat.

505
00:32:15,875 --> 00:32:19,540
What are you doing, Qilan? Meditating?

506
00:32:29,708 --> 00:32:32,457
Have you had a chance to think,
these last few days?

507
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,207
It's time to go back to your wife
and get on with your life.

508
00:32:38,166 --> 00:32:39,957
She's already on her way.

509
00:32:40,458 --> 00:32:41,915
You might want to shower

510
00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:45,499
so you look decent when she arrives.

511
00:32:46,333 --> 00:32:48,249
He was a decent person at heart.

512
00:32:48,666 --> 00:32:50,749
I knew he was just doing this
to get back at me.

513
00:32:51,041 --> 00:32:52,457
I'd caged him like an animal,

514
00:32:52,458 --> 00:32:55,124
so now he was acting like one.

515
00:32:55,708 --> 00:32:59,999
It was a way of marking his territory,
a form of possession.

516
00:33:00,166 --> 00:33:01,790
It was a way of marking his territory,
a form of possession.

517
00:33:02,583 --> 00:33:04,040
- What are you doing?
- Let me go!

518
00:33:04,041 --> 00:33:05,165
What are you doing?

519
00:33:05,166 --> 00:33:06,540
Xiao-Xiao's almost here! Get down!

520
00:33:06,875 --> 00:33:08,790
Let me die!

521
00:33:08,791 --> 00:33:09,415
Let me die!

522
00:33:09,416 --> 00:33:10,665
Let go of me!

523
00:33:31,166 --> 00:33:33,665
Xiao-Xiao took Qilan away,

524
00:33:33,666 --> 00:33:35,582
and I became her scapegoat.

525
00:33:36,666 --> 00:33:40,874
My pity for him had turned into a weapon
that could be turned on me.

526
00:33:41,208 --> 00:33:42,165
Stop that!

527
00:33:42,166 --> 00:33:44,749
Women so often treat pity
as their own worst enemy.

528
00:33:44,750 --> 00:33:46,499
Get away!

529
00:33:46,708 --> 00:33:47,749
Stop it!

530
00:33:47,750 --> 00:33:48,665
Why did you force him into that apartment?

531
00:33:48,666 --> 00:33:50,332
Why did you force him into that apartment?

532
00:33:50,333 --> 00:33:53,540
Why did you hide him away
from his family, friends and me?

533
00:33:53,541 --> 00:33:55,040
You did this!

534
00:33:55,583 --> 00:33:56,790
Let me go!

535
00:34:44,916 --> 00:34:46,874
Mr. Shang, why are you here?

536
00:34:47,250 --> 00:34:48,957
Where's Yang's father?

537
00:34:49,291 --> 00:34:52,165
I'm his father. I'm here to settle his debt.

538
00:34:52,458 --> 00:34:54,124
Please take a seat, sir.

539
00:34:57,541 --> 00:35:00,624
He's my mistress' kid. He has her last name.

540
00:35:01,125 --> 00:35:04,332
But I'm his father, so I'll pay his debt.

541
00:35:05,541 --> 00:35:07,040
How much does he owe you?

542
00:35:09,250 --> 00:35:11,707
Everyone knows you're a man of his word.

543
00:35:12,583 --> 00:35:13,832
I'm a decent man, too.

544
00:35:14,875 --> 00:35:16,249
Let's forget the interest.

545
00:35:17,083 --> 00:35:21,207
But he still owes 160 million.
That's the lowest I can go.

546
00:35:30,875 --> 00:35:33,915
I was in this business, too. I won't renege.

547
00:35:39,041 --> 00:35:40,707
Sit down right here.

548
00:35:41,291 --> 00:35:42,665
You, too, Hua.

549
00:35:46,291 --> 00:35:47,332
Dad.

550
00:35:55,375 --> 00:35:56,707
Punch him. He owes you money.

551
00:35:56,708 --> 00:35:59,832
This way, he'll know he has to pay.

552
00:36:10,208 --> 00:36:12,207
Hua will scam anyone.

553
00:36:12,666 --> 00:36:14,290
He's done it to me, too.

554
00:36:19,083 --> 00:36:21,249
This is my last time in Macau.

555
00:36:24,833 --> 00:36:28,499
I left everything to the boy and his mother.

556
00:36:30,250 --> 00:36:34,832
The kid's had it tough.
His mother ran off with some guy.

557
00:36:35,333 --> 00:36:37,499
So I left him my money.

558
00:36:39,750 --> 00:36:41,582
I didn't think it'd be his downfall.

559
00:36:43,208 --> 00:36:44,832
I think now you know

560
00:36:47,333 --> 00:36:48,999
that I have nothing left.

561
00:36:56,875 --> 00:36:59,290
There's still the place you left me.

562
00:37:01,458 --> 00:37:03,082
You can live there.

563
00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:05,040
Xiao-Ou,

564
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,832
you know why I wanted to be with you?

565
00:37:08,708 --> 00:37:10,124
Because I knew right away

566
00:37:10,125 --> 00:37:13,582
that Lu wasn't good enough for you.

567
00:37:14,916 --> 00:37:16,374
That's in the past.

568
00:37:18,333 --> 00:37:20,207
I don't want to hear his name again.

569
00:37:20,916 --> 00:37:22,874
I'm taking my son to Europe tomorrow.

570
00:37:23,333 --> 00:37:25,290
Be careful of Hua.

571
00:37:27,541 --> 00:37:30,207
(October, 2008.)

572
00:37:36,791 --> 00:37:40,124
Ten years after the handover,

573
00:37:40,125 --> 00:37:42,415
Macau was more popular than ever.

574
00:37:42,916 --> 00:37:46,707
Every day was like Golden Week holiday.

575
00:37:47,500 --> 00:37:51,915
The Macau border crossing
was packed with tourists day and night.

576
00:37:52,250 --> 00:37:56,124
I'd almost forgotten
that I hadn't seen Kevin Duan that year.

577
00:37:56,625 --> 00:37:59,749
But this day
would change everything I knew about him.

578
00:38:00,125 --> 00:38:01,707
Ready for some fun in Macau?

579
00:38:01,708 --> 00:38:03,415
Yes!

580
00:38:05,750 --> 00:38:09,374
There's gambling and entertainment
in the main hall,

581
00:38:09,375 --> 00:38:11,040
There's gambling and entertainment
in the main hall,

582
00:38:11,500 --> 00:38:13,499
and a shopping center on the third floor.

583
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:15,332
Feel free to roam around tomorrow.

584
00:38:15,333 --> 00:38:17,415
That's what makes this place unique.

585
00:38:18,958 --> 00:38:20,582
Have fun, everyone.

586
00:38:20,583 --> 00:38:23,124
I'll take 3000 in chips.

587
00:38:28,291 --> 00:38:30,040
(You look well.)

588
00:38:35,708 --> 00:38:37,332
(Look ahead of you.)

589
00:38:44,291 --> 00:38:46,624
What's a big shot
like you doing in the main hall?

590
00:38:46,625 --> 00:38:50,082
It's more fun here during the holidays. Sit.

591
00:38:50,416 --> 00:38:52,582
I haven't seen you for six months.

592
00:38:52,583 --> 00:38:55,207
Why are you spending Golden Week here?

593
00:38:55,208 --> 00:38:56,874
The city's empty.

594
00:38:56,875 --> 00:38:58,082
All the businessmen are down here,

595
00:38:58,083 --> 00:39:00,040
so I came along, too.

596
00:39:01,291 --> 00:39:04,540
Let me take you to the VIP room.

597
00:39:04,541 --> 00:39:07,540
To make up for last time. No credit limit.

598
00:39:08,291 --> 00:39:09,540
No rush.

599
00:39:14,541 --> 00:39:17,040
Hello.

600
00:39:17,208 --> 00:39:20,624
Ms. Fay, Mr. Duan
is asking for more than my limit.

601
00:39:20,791 --> 00:39:22,457
Can I apply for more?

602
00:39:22,458 --> 00:39:24,624
Can you vouch for him?

603
00:39:24,625 --> 00:39:26,082
Yes. Besides, I have the house.

604
00:39:26,750 --> 00:39:28,915
Yes. Besides, I have the house.

605
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,790
Your house wouldn't begin to cover his debt.

606
00:39:33,250 --> 00:39:34,540
Watch your back, then.

607
00:39:40,708 --> 00:39:41,457
Cheers, Mr. Duan.

608
00:39:41,458 --> 00:39:42,374
Thanks.

609
00:39:43,333 --> 00:39:45,624
Your three pots of tea, sir. Enjoy.

610
00:39:59,875 --> 00:40:01,374
Can I switch dealers?

611
00:40:05,416 --> 00:40:07,040
Good luck, sir.

612
00:40:08,041 --> 00:40:09,207
Pass.

613
00:40:09,375 --> 00:40:13,915
Place your bets. Player, banker,
player, banker.

614
00:40:14,541 --> 00:40:18,332
Player has zero.
Banker has seven. Player gets an extra card.

615
00:40:31,708 --> 00:40:32,374
Pass.

616
00:40:32,375 --> 00:40:34,540
Player, banker, player, banker...

617
00:40:34,541 --> 00:40:36,874
It's a pity not biding on this.

618
00:40:39,625 --> 00:40:42,082
Hey, you're thinner. It's been two months.

619
00:40:42,083 --> 00:40:45,332
This reminds me of that hand
at the Grand Emperor that night...

620
00:40:45,333 --> 00:40:47,457
I'm about to go to work on this.

621
00:40:48,125 --> 00:40:50,915
Sure. I won't bother you, then.

622
00:40:53,708 --> 00:40:54,832
Pass.

623
00:40:55,916 --> 00:40:57,165
Pass.

624
00:41:04,250 --> 00:41:06,124
(Quietly ask Liu )

625
00:41:06,625 --> 00:41:08,957
(if Duan came to Macau in July.)

626
00:41:09,750 --> 00:41:10,915
Pass.

627
00:41:13,333 --> 00:41:14,499
(He didn't.)

628
00:41:16,416 --> 00:41:17,915
(What about mid-August?)

629
00:41:21,625 --> 00:41:23,040
(No.)

630
00:41:26,833 --> 00:41:29,249
(Forget Liu. I doubt he knows anything.)

631
00:41:29,916 --> 00:41:31,332
That's enough.

632
00:41:35,208 --> 00:41:38,749
Cat, check if Kevin Duan has played
in other casinos the last two months.

633
00:41:39,041 --> 00:41:44,290
No need. I'm sure
he's made side bets in other casinos.

634
00:41:44,583 --> 00:41:46,874
He lost big time
and decided to come back to you.

635
00:41:47,041 --> 00:41:48,040
He wouldn't do that.

636
00:41:48,041 --> 00:41:51,249
Oh, no? Want to bet?

637
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:53,457
Listen, I grew up here.

638
00:41:53,958 --> 00:41:57,082
And there's a saying for people
who play like him:

639
00:41:57,083 --> 00:42:01,665
He's either flush as hell, or broke as hell.

640
00:42:03,125 --> 00:42:06,374
Your Mr. Duan isn't doing so hot today.

641
00:42:06,583 --> 00:42:10,832
He's not betting normally.
He must've lost a ton out there.

642
00:42:11,166 --> 00:42:15,915
If he wins today,
then we've helped him cover his losses.

643
00:42:16,666 --> 00:42:19,040
If he loses,

644
00:42:19,333 --> 00:42:21,540
then he's dug another hole on our turf.

645
00:42:21,541 --> 00:42:24,207
Pull him out before he loses,

646
00:42:24,541 --> 00:42:26,082
and you might survive this.

647
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,040
You're back. Look at how much I've made.

648
00:42:41,208 --> 00:42:42,082
I told you this place brings me luck!

649
00:42:42,083 --> 00:42:43,749
I told you this place brings me luck!

650
00:42:46,083 --> 00:42:47,332
Let's call it a day, then.

651
00:42:47,333 --> 00:42:48,457
No way.

652
00:42:48,500 --> 00:42:50,499
Let's get something to eat and go shopping.

653
00:42:50,583 --> 00:42:52,207
There's a watch I want to buy.

654
00:42:52,208 --> 00:42:54,374
What watch? I'll buy it for you.

655
00:42:54,833 --> 00:42:56,124
I'll set these winnings aside,

656
00:42:56,125 --> 00:42:57,999
and buy your watch with this.

657
00:43:00,041 --> 00:43:01,582
You'll have one too, Zhuan!

658
00:43:01,583 --> 00:43:03,332
Cheers, Mr. Duan! Good luck!

659
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,374
Player has nine, dealer has three. Player wins.

660
00:43:06,375 --> 00:43:07,624
Player has nine, dealer has three. Player wins.

661
00:43:07,625 --> 00:43:09,165
Let me get you some hot water, sir.

662
00:43:09,166 --> 00:43:10,540
Don't move that!

663
00:43:11,916 --> 00:43:12,790
What are you doing?

664
00:43:12,791 --> 00:43:13,499
Sorry, sir.

665
00:43:13,500 --> 00:43:15,582
Don't like to see me win?

666
00:43:15,583 --> 00:43:16,582
Sorry, sir.

667
00:43:16,583 --> 00:43:18,207
I'll get you another round.

668
00:43:18,791 --> 00:43:20,499
Forget it. He didn't mean it.

669
00:43:20,500 --> 00:43:22,874
You've already won so much.
Let's call it a day.

670
00:43:23,166 --> 00:43:24,207
I'm fine.

671
00:43:24,916 --> 00:43:27,165
Here you go, sir.

672
00:43:36,458 --> 00:43:37,457
I'm fine.

673
00:43:43,291 --> 00:43:43,957
Let's go.

674
00:43:43,958 --> 00:43:44,874
No more bets.

675
00:43:47,041 --> 00:43:50,040
Player has seven. Banker has six.

676
00:43:50,458 --> 00:43:51,874
Player wins.

677
00:43:55,208 --> 00:43:58,582
Go. I've got you now.

678
00:43:58,666 --> 00:44:00,832
As I sat there watching him lose,

679
00:44:01,708 --> 00:44:05,999
I could feel my house
being dismantled piece by piece,

680
00:44:06,500 --> 00:44:09,332
my garden shrinking with each losing hand.

681
00:44:10,208 --> 00:44:15,040
My future, like an ocean being reclaimed,

682
00:44:15,708 --> 00:44:19,665
filled with dirt and rubble and stones...

683
00:44:20,333 --> 00:44:23,415
That azure bay was disappearing fast,

684
00:44:23,583 --> 00:44:26,874
along with the sunlight and the seagulls...

685
00:44:27,083 --> 00:44:31,290
It's too late. He's on a downward slide.

686
00:44:31,750 --> 00:44:35,124
He was on a streak. How'd he start losing?

687
00:44:35,291 --> 00:44:36,624
It's my fault.

688
00:44:36,833 --> 00:44:39,124
I tried to get him out
by saying I wanted a watch.

689
00:44:39,125 --> 00:44:42,957
Now you've lost the watch,
and you're saddled with his debt.

690
00:44:43,666 --> 00:44:45,082
I told you I'd pay.

691
00:44:45,083 --> 00:44:47,957
How? Even two houses wouldn't be enough!

692
00:44:48,166 --> 00:44:51,707
How? Even two houses wouldn't be enough!

693
00:44:52,083 --> 00:44:56,915
Ms. Fay. Xiao-Ou. I've looked into it.

694
00:44:57,208 --> 00:45:02,499
Duan started accounts at two other casinos
a few months ago, and lost big.

695
00:45:03,083 --> 00:45:06,040
You let your emotions get in the way, Xiao-Ou.

696
00:45:06,250 --> 00:45:08,957
You let your emotions get in the way, Xiao-Ou.

697
00:45:09,541 --> 00:45:11,707
I never thought

698
00:45:13,791 --> 00:45:17,332
Duan would screw me over like this.

699
00:45:19,375 --> 00:45:22,665
The holidays are coming.
Buy something nice for your family.

700
00:45:22,958 --> 00:45:24,999
That's a bit much...

701
00:45:26,083 --> 00:45:28,582
Is Mr. Duan having money troubles?

702
00:45:28,583 --> 00:45:30,415
Are you worried about him?

703
00:45:30,416 --> 00:45:31,707
Of course I am.

704
00:45:31,708 --> 00:45:34,374
Don't worry. He's got plenty of money.

705
00:45:35,166 --> 00:45:37,165
Did he get it from other casinos?

706
00:45:38,958 --> 00:45:40,290
I don't know. He's your client. Ask him.

707
00:45:40,375 --> 00:45:42,582
I don't know. He's your client. Ask him.

708
00:45:46,958 --> 00:45:48,415
What are you implying?
That I helped him make side bets?

709
00:45:48,625 --> 00:45:51,332
What are you implying?
That I helped him make side bets?

710
00:45:53,708 --> 00:45:55,207
Did I mention side bets?

711
00:45:56,458 --> 00:45:59,499
You know how I am, Liu.

712
00:46:00,500 --> 00:46:02,915
I can personally vouch for him. He'll pay up.

713
00:46:02,916 --> 00:46:04,749
And what's your character reference worth?

714
00:46:05,208 --> 00:46:08,082
Do you know how much money he cost us?

715
00:46:09,208 --> 00:46:10,915
He set me up!

716
00:46:17,208 --> 00:46:19,832
There was this one time...

717
00:46:19,833 --> 00:46:23,665
he went to the airport and came straight back.
That's how it started...

718
00:46:24,791 --> 00:46:27,499
He's got such a huge business,

719
00:46:27,500 --> 00:46:29,124
but maybe he was short of cash?

720
00:46:29,125 --> 00:46:31,624
Needed it for something he was bidding on,

721
00:46:31,875 --> 00:46:33,457
or the project would go to someone else.

722
00:46:33,666 --> 00:46:36,124
So who set the bets up? Hua?

723
00:46:36,458 --> 00:46:37,582
I think so.

724
00:46:37,583 --> 00:46:38,665
Did you introduce him?

725
00:46:38,666 --> 00:46:40,707
It wasn't me. I swear.

726
00:46:40,833 --> 00:46:43,499
I suspect Hua had him in his sights already.

727
00:46:43,583 --> 00:46:46,832
I blame Duan hitting his stride too early.

728
00:46:46,833 --> 00:46:49,290
Too much luck, too soon, made him cocky.

729
00:46:49,291 --> 00:46:51,499
Rich guys like him all have the same problem:

730
00:46:51,500 --> 00:46:53,999
they don't know when to give up.
Too much pride.

731
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:54,957
(wire 300 grand to each of my HK account.)

732
00:46:54,958 --> 00:46:58,332
Seems like pride brought him low this time.

733
00:46:58,708 --> 00:47:00,915
Duan may have his pride now,

734
00:47:01,250 --> 00:47:03,499
but he came from nothing.

735
00:47:03,583 --> 00:47:06,707
In his fourth year of college,

736
00:47:06,750 --> 00:47:09,957
his parents gave him a sack of fried pancakes
to last the semester.

737
00:47:09,958 --> 00:47:13,957
When they started to get moldy, he hung them

738
00:47:13,958 --> 00:47:15,499
out in the quad to dry in the sun.

739
00:47:15,500 --> 00:47:19,790
He hung his poverty out for all to see!

740
00:47:19,875 --> 00:47:22,290
He's made of different stuff.

741
00:47:26,458 --> 00:47:28,457
You keep bragging on him, then.

742
00:47:31,750 --> 00:47:35,832
Xiao-Ou, I like to keep track of my accounts.

743
00:47:36,125 --> 00:47:41,874
Despite his 100 million in debt,
Duan managed to get ten hours of sleep

744
00:47:42,541 --> 00:47:45,082
before inviting me out to dinner.

745
00:47:45,541 --> 00:47:47,540
He'd even tidied himself up.

746
00:47:48,083 --> 00:47:50,999
The only tell was a tiny nick
on the right side of his neck,

747
00:47:51,750 --> 00:47:54,874
like he started every day at knifepoint.

748
00:48:04,333 --> 00:48:09,374
This is what my friends owe you.
I'll cover that.

749
00:48:10,291 --> 00:48:14,207
This is what I owe you. I'm good for it.

750
00:48:16,708 --> 00:48:18,749
How many days do you need, Mr. Duan?

751
00:48:18,875 --> 00:48:21,582
Don't I have ten days to pay?

752
00:48:22,041 --> 00:48:25,374
This debt is enough to destroy me, Mr. Duan.

753
00:48:25,625 --> 00:48:29,082
We've known each other for so long, Xiao-Ou.

754
00:48:29,708 --> 00:48:34,624
Have I ever made trouble for you?

755
00:48:35,291 --> 00:48:38,249
Then ten days it is.

756
00:48:38,666 --> 00:48:40,624
Okay. Eat up.

757
00:48:40,625 --> 00:48:41,707
Happy birthday, Ms. Fay.

758
00:48:41,708 --> 00:48:42,665
Thank you.

759
00:48:46,250 --> 00:48:47,999
Birthdays come once a year,

760
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,374
but not all of them are happy.

761
00:48:51,458 --> 00:48:53,040
Is something wrong?

762
00:48:53,958 --> 00:48:59,832
Xiao-Ou, as of today,
this casino isn't mine anymore.

763
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,040
Then... whose is it?

764
00:49:02,041 --> 00:49:03,457
Hua's taken it over.

765
00:49:04,083 --> 00:49:07,332
Hua? How'd he become so powerful?

766
00:49:07,333 --> 00:49:09,790
You know what he's like.

767
00:49:10,208 --> 00:49:12,624
He got Shang's son into debt,

768
00:49:12,625 --> 00:49:14,165
and Shang had to pay up.

769
00:49:14,250 --> 00:49:17,999
Shang gave his company to Hua
to cover the 200 million debt,

770
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,415
and Hua came out 500 million ahead.

771
00:49:20,916 --> 00:49:22,415
Ms. Fay!

772
00:49:22,625 --> 00:49:23,874
Hello, Hua.

773
00:49:23,875 --> 00:49:26,790
I came to toast you on your birthday.

774
00:49:26,791 --> 00:49:27,874
Of course.

775
00:49:27,875 --> 00:49:29,332
Happy birthday.

776
00:49:29,916 --> 00:49:31,499
Join us, Ms. Ou.

777
00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:32,582
Thanks.

778
00:49:35,500 --> 00:49:36,707
I won't intrude.

779
00:49:36,708 --> 00:49:37,790
I have business to attend to.

780
00:49:37,791 --> 00:49:38,540
Sure.

781
00:49:38,541 --> 00:49:39,207
Enjoy yourselves.

782
00:49:39,208 --> 00:49:40,082
Come back later.

783
00:49:40,083 --> 00:49:41,040
Sure.

784
00:49:41,375 --> 00:49:44,207
Kevin Duan's debt to Hua is several times
bigger than his debt to us.

785
00:49:44,208 --> 00:49:47,624
Hua offered me 300 million for the casino.

786
00:49:47,625 --> 00:49:49,124
How could I refuse?

787
00:49:50,500 --> 00:49:52,999
Now he's Duan's biggest creditor.

788
00:49:53,083 --> 00:49:54,832
And you're Duan's guarantor.

789
00:49:55,083 --> 00:49:58,540
If he misses the deadline,
Hua will turn against you.

790
00:49:58,708 --> 00:50:01,624
Best set some new rules with Hua.

791
00:50:02,041 --> 00:50:04,165
Otherwise, you're vulnerable.

792
00:50:04,583 --> 00:50:07,665
Today's the sixth day, Mr. Duan.

793
00:50:07,833 --> 00:50:11,499
You have four days left. Just a reminder.

794
00:50:22,458 --> 00:50:25,707
Ms. Ou! Today's the 7th day.

795
00:50:26,208 --> 00:50:27,749
Any news from Duan?

796
00:50:27,750 --> 00:50:29,749
I've been calling him every day.

797
00:50:34,666 --> 00:50:38,124
It was me. I set up his side bets.

798
00:50:38,333 --> 00:50:42,124
He wanted to bet five-fold.
I only gave him three.

799
00:50:42,250 --> 00:50:44,999
Otherwise, he would've lost even more.

800
00:50:46,041 --> 00:50:49,540
I don't care about your rules with Ms Fay.

801
00:50:49,625 --> 00:50:53,332
Now that I'm the boss, I call the shots.

802
00:50:54,250 --> 00:50:57,040
You'll collect your debts, one way or another.

803
00:50:57,291 --> 00:50:59,540
You'll collect your debts, one way or another.

804
00:51:01,833 --> 00:51:03,040
Le-Le.

805
00:51:06,583 --> 00:51:08,707
Where are we going, mama?

806
00:51:09,541 --> 00:51:11,165
We're moving back to our old place.

807
00:51:11,333 --> 00:51:12,457
Why?

808
00:51:13,916 --> 00:51:16,249
It's closer to where I work.

809
00:51:22,208 --> 00:51:23,999
Can I help you?

810
00:51:24,125 --> 00:51:26,624
I have an appointment with Mr. Duan.

811
00:51:26,625 --> 00:51:29,290
Just tell him it's his friend from Macau.

812
00:51:29,666 --> 00:51:31,249
He invited me.

813
00:51:31,375 --> 00:51:33,582
Just a moment while I call to confirm.

814
00:51:34,125 --> 00:51:36,624
There's a lady here for Mr. Duan...

815
00:51:36,625 --> 00:51:41,290
Miss, you can't go up there! Miss...

816
00:51:41,291 --> 00:51:43,207
There's construction going on! It's dangerous!

817
00:51:43,208 --> 00:51:45,915
Besides, Mr. Duan isn't here.
I just confirmed it.

818
00:51:45,916 --> 00:51:49,624
Miss, please...
why don't you come back another day?

819
00:51:49,625 --> 00:51:51,832
Leave your name at the front desk,

820
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,874
and we'll make an appointment.
This way, please.

821
00:51:58,333 --> 00:52:02,499
Miss, you really can't go up there!

822
00:52:02,500 --> 00:52:05,040
Please, miss, don't make this difficult.

823
00:52:20,208 --> 00:52:24,540
Spectacular.
Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

824
00:52:25,458 --> 00:52:27,582
I'll wire this much to you tomorrow.

825
00:52:27,791 --> 00:52:31,040
The rest will come over the next few days.

826
00:52:31,250 --> 00:52:32,915
If you pay up, I'll pay for the chandelier.

827
00:52:32,916 --> 00:52:33,832
One debt for another.

828
00:52:33,833 --> 00:52:37,082
No need. Consider the chandelier a reminder.

829
00:52:37,083 --> 00:52:38,374
And what a reminder it was!

830
00:52:40,458 --> 00:52:41,499
Thanks.

831
00:52:43,583 --> 00:52:47,874
I've been overseeing my projects
in Qinghai and Xinjiang.

832
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:49,624
I just came back yesterday.

833
00:52:50,166 --> 00:52:51,957
That's why I couldn't wire you
the money in time.

834
00:52:52,208 --> 00:52:55,707
Sorry I made you come
all this way. Don't worry.

835
00:53:04,791 --> 00:53:08,749
Did the loan come through?
You're doing okay now?

836
00:53:09,041 --> 00:53:12,207
You needn't worry. Leave it to me.

837
00:53:12,458 --> 00:53:15,540
It's all taken care of.

838
00:53:19,041 --> 00:53:20,957
Is that so?

839
00:53:23,166 --> 00:53:25,374
Usually the hole only gets deeper.

840
00:53:25,791 --> 00:53:28,082
What you have now

841
00:53:30,458 --> 00:53:34,124
is worth a hundred times
more than those pancakes.

842
00:53:34,208 --> 00:53:35,707
Isn't it enough?

843
00:53:36,083 --> 00:53:39,749
You're like a dumb kid playing with blocks,

844
00:53:40,291 --> 00:53:42,415
building higher, wanting more.

845
00:53:42,583 --> 00:53:44,540
If you have a hundred, you want two hundred.

846
00:53:45,250 --> 00:53:46,874
If it falls to 99,

847
00:53:47,041 --> 00:53:49,624
you start to worry,
and don't eat or sleep for days.

848
00:53:49,625 --> 00:53:51,582
you start to worry,
and don't eat or sleep for days.

849
00:53:51,833 --> 00:53:54,749
You must have a number in mind, right?

850
00:53:55,541 --> 00:53:56,874
How much is enough?

851
00:53:57,750 --> 00:54:00,207
Think you'll ever get there?

852
00:54:00,750 --> 00:54:04,457
Do you realize that when you reach
a certain point, it'll come crumbling down...

853
00:54:05,958 --> 00:54:07,582
Xiao-Ou, I'm trying to make enough
to pay you back.

854
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:10,582
Xiao-Ou, I'm trying to make enough
to pay you back.

855
00:54:10,583 --> 00:54:15,374
I know that you're bearing all my debts.

856
00:54:16,083 --> 00:54:21,499
You had to put your house up to pay the casino.

857
00:54:32,541 --> 00:54:41,374
I feel like you're not the same person
I knew in Macau.

858
00:54:41,750 --> 00:54:44,957
Of course, things are different in Beijing.

859
00:54:45,083 --> 00:54:49,249
You're a boss. You're a husband.

860
00:54:50,583 --> 00:54:53,749
Perhaps a lover to another woman.

861
00:54:53,750 --> 00:54:54,957
I don't know...

862
00:54:56,166 --> 00:55:00,915
Even after losing so much money,
you're still not sincere.

863
00:55:06,916 --> 00:55:08,790
(One message. From Cat.)

864
00:55:10,875 --> 00:55:16,499
You know, I've never felt that
mine is a lowly profession,

865
00:55:17,083 --> 00:55:21,707
but your attitude makes me feel that way.

866
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:26,415
I haven't had a word of apology from you.

867
00:55:26,916 --> 00:55:30,332
Is there any truth in what you say? No matter.

868
00:55:31,875 --> 00:55:35,624
You want to be high and mighty.

869
00:55:35,875 --> 00:55:37,790
I'm just a peon.

870
00:55:38,125 --> 00:55:39,999
Despite our long friendship,

871
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,124
I'm not worthy of your sincerity.

872
00:55:42,958 --> 00:55:45,582
The moment you started betting behind my back,

873
00:55:45,583 --> 00:55:49,124
you stopped being that cool and debonair
Mr. Duan.

874
00:55:50,208 --> 00:55:53,874
You've got a lot of creditors
waiting for you back in Macau.

875
00:55:59,125 --> 00:56:02,874
All it takes is a loose pillar or two
to bring the whole building down.

876
00:56:03,541 --> 00:56:07,374
All it takes is a loose pillar or two
to bring the whole building down.

877
00:56:10,250 --> 00:56:12,665
And still you act so smug...

878
00:56:16,625 --> 00:56:18,582
(Two new messages. From Cat.)

879
00:56:24,416 --> 00:56:26,207
Is something wrong?

880
00:56:27,583 --> 00:56:31,582
Are you going to tell me
about all your big projects?

881
00:56:31,583 --> 00:56:35,290
That you've bought land all over the country?

882
00:56:35,291 --> 00:56:37,040
That they all have great feng shui,

883
00:56:37,041 --> 00:56:38,749
they'll all make tons of money.

884
00:56:38,750 --> 00:56:40,415
You can't pay me back in cash,

885
00:56:40,416 --> 00:56:43,582
but you can pay me back in land, right?

886
00:56:44,041 --> 00:56:46,374
The world is changing every day.

887
00:56:46,375 --> 00:56:48,832
Beijing's changed a lot, too.

888
00:56:49,958 --> 00:56:56,582
Yet I'm still the same old idiot...

889
00:57:01,666 --> 00:57:07,165
believing other people's lies.

890
00:57:16,416 --> 00:57:18,582
(Five new messages.)

891
00:57:26,666 --> 00:57:30,540
Hello, Xiao-Ou... talk to her yourself, Mr. Shi.

892
00:57:30,750 --> 00:57:34,124
Xiao-Ou, I've got a show in Hong Kong.

893
00:57:34,125 --> 00:57:36,082
Thought I'd stop by to see you...

894
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:40,707
Hello? Hello? Xiao-Ou, can you hear me?

895
00:57:40,875 --> 00:57:43,957
You promised your wife and me
that you'd stay away from casinos.

896
00:57:46,125 --> 00:57:48,707
I know. I'm not gambling.

897
00:57:48,708 --> 00:57:53,832
Shi Qilan, if you stay away from gambling,

898
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,290
I'll forgive your debt.

899
00:57:57,833 --> 00:58:02,374
Are you trying to buy my love for 30 million?

900
00:58:05,500 --> 00:58:07,790
Are you worth that much?

901
00:58:09,250 --> 00:58:14,290
I just feel sorry for your wife and child.

902
00:58:27,041 --> 00:58:29,499
You were drinking too fast. Have some soup.

903
00:58:30,541 --> 00:58:34,665
Having problems with a client? Tell me.

904
00:58:37,375 --> 00:58:39,999
He's my problem, but he's not my client.

905
00:58:43,750 --> 00:58:45,874
And you don't want him to be.

906
00:58:46,750 --> 00:58:48,165
You seem worried about him.

907
00:58:48,166 --> 00:58:49,790
Are you in love with him?

908
00:58:54,416 --> 00:58:56,624
I brought him into the casino.

909
00:58:57,166 --> 00:58:59,040
He's my responsibility.

910
00:59:01,708 --> 00:59:06,249
Let me tell you about my friend's
strange theory.

911
00:59:07,125 --> 00:59:11,374
He thinks you brokers
have made enough money off him.

912
00:59:11,750 --> 00:59:13,832
Every penny you make comes from him.

913
00:59:17,083 --> 00:59:22,040
Win or lose, you take one percent
of what he spends on chips.

914
00:59:22,041 --> 00:59:23,999
Win or lose, you take one percent
of what he spends on chips.

915
00:59:24,208 --> 00:59:28,165
A hundred grand might pass
between a gambler and a casino in one night,

916
00:59:28,166 --> 00:59:30,040
A hundred grand might pass
between a gambler and a casino in one night,

917
00:59:31,875 --> 00:59:33,999
But during those eight or nine hours,

918
00:59:34,166 --> 00:59:38,582
brokers are typically moving
millions back and forth, exchanging chips.

919
00:59:38,583 --> 00:59:40,665
brokers are typically moving
millions back and forth, exchanging chips.

920
00:59:40,791 --> 00:59:48,499
Let the little fish fight it out.
The fisherman always wins in the end.

921
00:59:48,500 --> 00:59:52,707
So my friend thinks the best solution
is to not repay the debt.

922
00:59:53,666 --> 00:59:58,040
Those casino brokers make a fortune off him.
Why should he pay them?

923
00:59:58,458 --> 01:00:01,290
Let the broker pay the casino.

924
01:00:04,333 --> 01:00:06,957
So you think I'm a fisherwoman, Mr. Duan?

925
01:00:07,541 --> 01:00:12,165
Kevin Duan used his fish and fisherman allegory

926
01:00:12,166 --> 01:00:14,582
to justify skipping out on his debt.

927
01:00:14,958 --> 01:00:18,915
I had my doubts, but they're gone now.

928
01:00:19,166 --> 01:00:23,249
Right from the start, he never intended to pay.

929
01:00:23,541 --> 01:00:25,207
The key to my house. Take it.

930
01:00:25,375 --> 01:00:27,915
That should clear Duan's debt
to the casino, right?

931
01:00:31,500 --> 01:00:34,499
Don't resent me. I'm just going by the book.

932
01:00:35,250 --> 01:00:37,790
He still owes me for the side bets.

933
01:00:38,166 --> 01:00:39,582
How will you get that back?

934
01:00:39,750 --> 01:00:41,707
I want to give him another chance.

935
01:00:43,708 --> 01:00:46,749
That's what I like about you.

936
01:00:47,416 --> 01:00:50,790
We haven't had a proper chat in years.

937
01:00:51,041 --> 01:00:52,874
What's there to chat about?

938
01:00:54,958 --> 01:00:57,540
Drink with me, Mr. Wu.

939
01:00:58,000 --> 01:01:03,499
Xiao-Ou, we all know that
as long as a broker doesn't gamble,

940
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,874
he'll end up rich.

941
01:01:06,125 --> 01:01:08,957
If he gambles, he'll end up a broker again.
But you don't gamble.

942
01:01:10,083 --> 01:01:14,790
So why aren't you rich?

943
01:01:16,291 --> 01:01:18,540
Because you gamble with your feelings.

944
01:01:19,375 --> 01:01:22,499
I want to help you, Xiao-Ou.

945
01:01:23,125 --> 01:01:27,499
Work the side bets with me.

946
01:01:29,875 --> 01:01:31,749
I'll cover the debt.

947
01:01:32,166 --> 01:01:33,290
Just give me more time.

948
01:01:33,291 --> 01:01:35,874
No, no, no. Remember:

949
01:01:36,500 --> 01:01:39,999
you're not paying me,
you're paying off those side bets.

950
01:01:40,625 --> 01:01:44,124
Out of respect for Shang,
I'll give you six months.

951
01:01:45,291 --> 01:01:46,957
Shang is a stand-up guy.

952
01:01:47,625 --> 01:01:51,915
He covered his son's debt,
and asked me to look after you.

953
01:01:52,708 --> 01:01:54,374
Very generous.

954
01:01:58,916 --> 01:02:00,582
I'll give each of you a card

955
01:02:00,583 --> 01:02:01,582
(2010)

956
01:02:01,583 --> 01:02:04,665
that allows you
to gamble anywhere in the main hall.

957
01:02:04,666 --> 01:02:06,499
Just swipe the card,

958
01:02:06,500 --> 01:02:08,665
and return it to me when you're done.

959
01:02:08,666 --> 01:02:10,832
I'll go get some chips for you, okay?

960
01:02:16,875 --> 01:02:18,290
You doing okay?

961
01:02:19,625 --> 01:02:24,290
What else can I do?
The VIP rooms won't spare me any credit.

962
01:02:24,291 --> 01:02:26,624
Because of Hua?

963
01:02:29,583 --> 01:02:31,124
No problem.

964
01:02:31,416 --> 01:02:35,124
I'm making money now.
I won't let you eat scraps.

965
01:02:36,375 --> 01:02:37,790
Shi's in the main hall.

966
01:02:38,333 --> 01:02:41,999
I don't know where he got the cash,
but he's up 100 grand.

967
01:02:52,291 --> 01:02:55,499
What's this? Stop or I'll scream.

968
01:02:55,500 --> 01:02:57,040
There are cameras everywhere.

969
01:03:03,541 --> 01:03:06,165
I went through this once with Lu Jin-Tong.

970
01:03:06,541 --> 01:03:10,915
If I go down this road again,
I'm terrified where I might end up.

971
01:03:16,166 --> 01:03:18,165
What are you doing here in Macau?

972
01:03:19,208 --> 01:03:20,707
I came to see you.

973
01:03:20,708 --> 01:03:22,415
You've got some nerve.

974
01:03:22,875 --> 01:03:26,457
I also wanted to work out
a repayment plan with you.

975
01:03:26,791 --> 01:03:29,290
I've got a great plan.

976
01:03:29,458 --> 01:03:31,374
You could say it's a scheme.

977
01:03:31,916 --> 01:03:34,124
What plan could you possibly have?

978
01:03:34,708 --> 01:03:37,499
I really do have a plan,

979
01:03:37,500 --> 01:03:40,665
but since you wouldn't see me,
I thought I'd play a few hands.

980
01:03:40,666 --> 01:03:42,332
You wouldn't have shown up otherwise, right?

981
01:03:42,458 --> 01:03:45,874
But fortune strikes when you least expect it.

982
01:03:46,833 --> 01:03:49,124
I'm up almost 200 grand.

983
01:03:53,083 --> 01:03:55,415
And for this plan, you had to come to Macau?

984
01:03:55,416 --> 01:03:57,874
I couldn't talk about it on the phone.

985
01:04:04,625 --> 01:04:06,124
Where are you going?

986
01:04:18,041 --> 01:04:22,124
A once-noble bird has found its way
into a humble home.

987
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:24,582
What does that mean?

988
01:04:25,833 --> 01:04:28,290
You've been playing all day. Time for bed.

989
01:04:40,916 --> 01:04:43,915
This casino owner bought some of my sculptures,

990
01:04:43,916 --> 01:04:45,707
and he thinks I'm big shot.

991
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,582
He wants me to lure rich mainlanders
to his casino down south.

992
01:04:49,875 --> 01:04:53,540
I have some relatives in business.
They're loaded.

993
01:04:53,875 --> 01:04:57,499
If I can get even one of them down south,
I can pay you back.

994
01:04:59,166 --> 01:05:01,290
How do you plan to do that?

995
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,457
By taking a cue from you.
I'll be a casino broker.

996
01:05:10,666 --> 01:05:13,165
The boss will lend me the money.

997
01:05:13,166 --> 01:05:14,540
I have three options:

998
01:05:14,541 --> 01:05:16,957
One, I take a commission.

999
01:05:16,958 --> 01:05:19,790
Two, I get a cut of the winnings.

1000
01:05:20,125 --> 01:05:24,499
Three, the best option,
the player loses everything,

1001
01:05:24,500 --> 01:05:26,832
I collect the debt and pay you.
How's that sound?

1002
01:05:26,833 --> 01:05:29,374
Won't that screw the casino boss over?

1003
01:05:29,833 --> 01:05:33,082
I didn't say I won't pay him.
He'll have to wait his turn.

1004
01:05:33,083 --> 01:05:37,082
I'll repay him with interest.

1005
01:05:37,083 --> 01:05:40,040
Just don't ask me when.

1006
01:05:41,416 --> 01:05:42,957
I want no part of this.

1007
01:05:42,958 --> 01:05:44,790
You don't have to do a thing.

1008
01:05:46,208 --> 01:05:48,374
You can't afford to pay him back.

1009
01:05:48,541 --> 01:05:50,665
Of course I can.

1010
01:05:51,750 --> 01:05:54,582
Since you're so confident, I'll be waiting.

1011
01:05:55,208 --> 01:05:57,540
You've got this big plan, running all the way

1012
01:05:57,541 --> 01:06:00,999
down here to cheat some casino
out of its money.

1013
01:06:01,583 --> 01:06:04,290
I didn't want to keep you waiting.
I want to pay you back first.

1014
01:06:05,041 --> 01:06:07,457
I said there's no hurry!

1015
01:06:07,541 --> 01:06:10,540
Why not, mama? It's our money.

1016
01:06:11,041 --> 01:06:14,374
Why are you still up?
This is grown-up talk.

1017
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,832
When I lent five dollars to my classmate,
you said to get it back.

1018
01:06:20,750 --> 01:06:22,499
It's not the same thing, okay?

1019
01:06:22,708 --> 01:06:24,374
How is it not?

1020
01:06:25,708 --> 01:06:28,165
Your mother works hard to support you.

1021
01:06:28,458 --> 01:06:29,957
It's not easy.

1022
01:06:29,958 --> 01:06:31,457
You shouldn't throw money around.

1023
01:06:32,166 --> 01:06:33,832
Have you showered yet?

1024
01:06:34,666 --> 01:06:36,415
Go on.

1025
01:06:45,666 --> 01:06:47,499
Does your wife know?

1026
01:06:50,416 --> 01:06:53,165
Wouldn't that make her hate you even more?

1027
01:06:53,833 --> 01:06:56,207
If you tell her I've forgiven your debt,

1028
01:06:56,333 --> 01:06:57,957
would she still hate me?

1029
01:06:59,250 --> 01:07:00,624
I didn't tell her.

1030
01:07:00,625 --> 01:07:04,332
First, I want to pay you back.

1031
01:07:05,083 --> 01:07:07,790
Second, my wife hates you already.

1032
01:07:07,958 --> 01:07:09,665
You're a double victim.

1033
01:07:11,333 --> 01:07:13,957
I lost tens of millions,

1034
01:07:14,458 --> 01:07:16,415
and took a slap from her.

1035
01:07:16,958 --> 01:07:18,874
Now she hates me.

1036
01:07:20,458 --> 01:07:22,540
Why is it so hard to be a decent person?

1037
01:07:30,166 --> 01:07:31,957
When I returned to Beijing,

1038
01:07:32,041 --> 01:07:34,999
she kept saying that she could tell.

1039
01:07:36,083 --> 01:07:40,374
You did everything you could for me
and didn't even slap her back.

1040
01:07:41,625 --> 01:07:43,707
She's sure there's something between us.

1041
01:07:44,833 --> 01:07:48,249
If you cancel my debt,
wouldn't that just make her more suspicious?

1042
01:07:49,541 --> 01:07:52,374
Not even my parents have done this much for me.

1043
01:07:54,708 --> 01:07:58,499
I feel guilty about
what I've done to you and Xiao-Xiao.

1044
01:07:58,958 --> 01:08:01,790
Stop mentioning me and your wife
in the same sentence.

1045
01:08:03,750 --> 01:08:05,915
I don't owe anything to anyone,

1046
01:08:06,833 --> 01:08:11,040
except to you and Xiao-Xiao.

1047
01:08:25,875 --> 01:08:29,624
Qilan, all you have left are your hands.

1048
01:08:43,125 --> 01:08:47,790
The 2008 U.S. mortgage crisis set off
a financial tsunami in Hong Kong.

1049
01:08:48,208 --> 01:08:51,499
The Hang Seng crashed, sending ripples
through mainland Chinese markets.

1050
01:08:51,875 --> 01:08:55,082
The real estate market took the worst hit.

1051
01:08:55,791 --> 01:08:59,374
Not surprisingly, Kevin Duan vanished again.

1052
01:08:59,833 --> 01:09:03,374
Then I heard that he and his family were
spending Chinese New Year holiday in Sanya.

1053
01:09:03,375 --> 01:09:05,249
Then I heard that he and his family were
spending Chinese New Year holiday in Sanya.

1054
01:09:05,250 --> 01:09:07,915
Hello, you must be Mr. Duan's wife, Ms. Yu.

1055
01:09:07,916 --> 01:09:09,957
That's right. Are you looking for him?

1056
01:09:10,125 --> 01:09:10,707
Yes.

1057
01:09:10,708 --> 01:09:13,124
He's not here. Why don't you take a seat?

1058
01:09:13,583 --> 01:09:14,707
Thanks.

1059
01:09:15,541 --> 01:09:16,707
Tea, please.

1060
01:09:17,500 --> 01:09:19,624
I'm a television journalist.

1061
01:09:19,625 --> 01:09:21,707
My name is Mo.

1062
01:09:21,708 --> 01:09:25,207
I'm doing a show
about the families of successful people.

1063
01:09:25,208 --> 01:09:27,499
I heard that you and Mr. Duan
were staying here.

1064
01:09:27,500 --> 01:09:29,290
Sorry to show up uninvited.

1065
01:09:29,291 --> 01:09:31,457
I was hoping for an interview.

1066
01:09:32,541 --> 01:09:34,124
But he isn't in town.

1067
01:09:34,125 --> 01:09:36,332
My daddy bought some land in Haikou.

1068
01:09:36,333 --> 01:09:38,290
He had to go deal with it.

1069
01:09:40,375 --> 01:09:42,040
Maybe I can talk to you, then.

1070
01:09:49,625 --> 01:09:50,832
Xiao-Ou,

1071
01:09:52,791 --> 01:09:55,874
I've brought my cousin down south.

1072
01:09:56,375 --> 01:09:59,124
I'll be able to pay you back soon.

1073
01:09:59,625 --> 01:10:02,165
Don't get into trouble again.

1074
01:10:02,166 --> 01:10:05,457
Remember you're borrowing real money,
not just plastic chips.

1075
01:10:06,083 --> 01:10:07,832
Understood. Gotta go.

1076
01:10:13,583 --> 01:10:14,999
I've got a family to feed!

1077
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:17,457
Chinese New Year is coming,
and I can't even afford rice...

1078
01:10:17,458 --> 01:10:19,165
You don't need to yell...

1079
01:10:19,166 --> 01:10:22,415
The contract says that we're paid monthly,

1080
01:10:22,458 --> 01:10:24,707
but the workers haven't been paid for months...

1081
01:10:24,708 --> 01:10:26,165
Why are you here?

1082
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:28,749
You naughty girl...

1083
01:10:29,458 --> 01:10:33,082
I've got a guest. Why don't we talk later?

1084
01:10:33,500 --> 01:10:36,540
I'm here to solve your problems.

1085
01:10:36,541 --> 01:10:37,999
Okay?

1086
01:10:38,125 --> 01:10:40,540
Tell everyone out there.

1087
01:10:44,041 --> 01:10:47,999
I'm in Hainan dealing with this property
so that I can pay you back.

1088
01:10:51,708 --> 01:10:56,582
I hate to part with it.
Land values are skyrocketing.

1089
01:10:57,083 --> 01:10:58,707
You know the casino rules, right?

1090
01:10:58,875 --> 01:11:00,124
Of course I do.

1091
01:11:00,125 --> 01:11:04,665
You need to pay interest if you're late.
Let me calculate the interest...

1092
01:11:06,291 --> 01:11:07,499
It's too high.

1093
01:11:07,500 --> 01:11:09,749
When you borrowed from us,

1094
01:11:09,750 --> 01:11:10,915
you agreed to the terms.

1095
01:11:10,916 --> 01:11:14,457
But looking at it now, the interest rate
really is too high. It's usury.

1096
01:11:15,208 --> 01:11:16,582
I don't make the rules.

1097
01:11:16,583 --> 01:11:20,582
Rules? More like extortion!

1098
01:11:20,583 --> 01:11:23,374
You didn't mind
when you needed money in the casino!

1099
01:11:23,666 --> 01:11:26,415
Didn't I beg you stay away from side bets?

1100
01:11:32,166 --> 01:11:33,665
Did Hua send you?

1101
01:11:33,666 --> 01:11:35,915
Don't mention him. This is between you and me.

1102
01:11:36,208 --> 01:11:41,374
Tell me the truth:
how much did you pocket from side bets?

1103
01:11:41,791 --> 01:11:43,624
Have you no gratitude?

1104
01:11:43,625 --> 01:11:45,457
What do you take me for?

1105
01:11:45,458 --> 01:11:46,874
I've begged, borrowed,
even sold my house for you!

1106
01:11:46,875 --> 01:11:49,415
I've begged, borrowed,
even sold my house for you!

1107
01:11:49,416 --> 01:11:51,124
I gave you an extension

1108
01:11:51,125 --> 01:11:52,915
because I know you're in trouble.

1109
01:11:52,916 --> 01:11:54,624
Because we've been friends for over a decade.

1110
01:11:54,625 --> 01:11:57,374
Because I want to help you
get through hard times. Get it?

1111
01:11:59,750 --> 01:12:00,999
No!

1112
01:12:05,083 --> 01:12:07,790
I see you as an older brother, a friend.

1113
01:12:08,416 --> 01:12:09,915
That's the truth, believe it or not.

1114
01:12:10,500 --> 01:12:13,290
You keep saying you'll wire the money.

1115
01:12:13,625 --> 01:12:15,374
Do you even have it?

1116
01:12:16,041 --> 01:12:19,249
Aren't you ashamed of doing this
to a single mother?

1117
01:12:19,250 --> 01:12:23,332
You said this is between us.
Don't bring your kid into it.

1118
01:12:29,166 --> 01:12:30,665
I have to answer this.

1119
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:39,957
Hi, Wen-Wen.
I'll be back tomorrow. What interview?

1120
01:12:44,250 --> 01:12:46,832
Hey, my cousin's winning.

1121
01:12:47,250 --> 01:12:49,915
He's won a lot! I'll get a piece of it.

1122
01:12:50,666 --> 01:12:52,582
Go screw yourself, Qilan!

1123
01:12:54,708 --> 01:12:57,374
What the hell did you do? How dare you!

1124
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:00,624
What did you tell my wife?

1125
01:13:03,541 --> 01:13:05,415
You know what I said.

1126
01:13:05,791 --> 01:13:08,665
I'm warning you. Stay away from my family!

1127
01:13:09,458 --> 01:13:13,082
Don't worry about me.
Worry about how you'll pay me.

1128
01:13:13,791 --> 01:13:17,374
You know, Bank of China
is open during Chinese New Year.

1129
01:13:17,375 --> 01:13:18,957
I'll give you my account number.

1130
01:13:18,958 --> 01:13:20,082
Are you blackmailing me now?

1131
01:13:20,083 --> 01:13:21,790
It's just a friendly reminder.

1132
01:13:24,916 --> 01:13:31,290
Xiao-Ou, it's true
I've been having money troubles...

1133
01:13:31,291 --> 01:13:32,832
That's your problem.

1134
01:13:33,541 --> 01:13:34,999
What the hell do you want?

1135
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:36,374
I'll read this for you:

1136
01:13:38,916 --> 01:13:40,749
Debtor Kevin Duan hereby promises to settle

1137
01:13:40,750 --> 01:13:45,124
his debt of 110 million RMB to creditor
Mei Xiao-Ou with interest within five days.

1138
01:13:45,125 --> 01:13:47,249
his debt of 111 million RMB to creditor
Mei Xiao-Ou with interest within five days.

1139
01:13:47,250 --> 01:13:48,707
If the debtor fails to pay on time,

1140
01:13:48,708 --> 01:13:51,249
the creditor retains the right
to pursue legal action."

1141
01:13:54,291 --> 01:13:57,082
My new development is on the market now.

1142
01:13:57,083 --> 01:13:59,249
In three to five months, I can pay you back.

1143
01:13:59,250 --> 01:14:01,124
In three to five months, I can pay you back.

1144
01:14:01,125 --> 01:14:03,124
You've dragged this out for months.

1145
01:14:03,125 --> 01:14:06,124
I told you I have money problems!

1146
01:14:06,125 --> 01:14:08,874
Did you think about that
when you made side bets?

1147
01:14:08,875 --> 01:14:09,999
Why can't you help me?

1148
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:11,707
I've already helped you!

1149
01:14:12,416 --> 01:14:14,374
I've given you six months!

1150
01:14:14,666 --> 01:14:16,165
You've asked me to make side bets.

1151
01:14:17,041 --> 01:14:19,415
If I hadn't stop you,
how much would you owe me now?

1152
01:14:19,416 --> 01:14:23,415
Why couldn't you quit when you were ahead?
You have ten days!

1153
01:14:50,291 --> 01:14:55,165
Good news. My cousin is starting to lose!

1154
01:14:55,541 --> 01:14:58,082
Listen to me.

1155
01:14:58,083 --> 01:15:00,124
Quit gambling right now

1156
01:15:00,125 --> 01:15:01,582
and I'll cancel your debt for good!

1157
01:15:01,583 --> 01:15:03,415
Just end this once and for all!

1158
01:15:06,125 --> 01:15:08,874
After getting Duan's signature,

1159
01:15:08,875 --> 01:15:11,332
I returned to pick up Le-Le in Sanya,

1160
01:15:12,125 --> 01:15:17,165
where I encountered another tragic scene.

1161
01:15:17,625 --> 01:15:20,540
Stop letting him bet, Qilan. I beg you.

1162
01:15:26,916 --> 01:15:29,374
It's you! Duan's told me everything!

1163
01:15:29,375 --> 01:15:31,707
Didn't he just lose a few bucks?

1164
01:15:31,708 --> 01:15:35,499
How serious could it be?
Pretending to be a reporter to get to me?

1165
01:15:35,500 --> 01:15:39,499
She came to my home
pretending to be a reporter.

1166
01:15:39,500 --> 01:15:41,207
I can call the cops and lock you up!

1167
01:15:42,625 --> 01:15:48,249
Mrs. Duan. Your husband lost at gambling.

1168
01:15:48,250 --> 01:15:51,082
The rules say he has to pay.
What's wrong with that?

1169
01:15:51,083 --> 01:15:55,457
Don't tell me about rules! What do you do?

1170
01:15:55,625 --> 01:15:59,290
Do you have the guts
to tell everyone here? Do you?

1171
01:15:59,625 --> 01:16:01,582
Why come all this way to hound us?

1172
01:16:01,583 --> 01:16:04,665
She's lucky we don't throw the book at her!

1173
01:16:05,083 --> 01:16:06,707
How many men have you corrupted?!

1174
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,165
This woman takes people to casinos,

1175
01:16:10,166 --> 01:16:12,540
then cheats them out of their money.

1176
01:16:12,541 --> 01:16:15,207
My husband's from a family of cadres!

1177
01:16:15,208 --> 01:16:16,165
How would he know about people like you?

1178
01:16:16,166 --> 01:16:17,999
How would he know about people like you?

1179
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,332
You set out to swindle him,

1180
01:16:20,333 --> 01:16:23,415
and now you're harassing us.

1181
01:16:23,416 --> 01:16:26,790
I'm warning you. If you bother Duan again,

1182
01:16:26,791 --> 01:16:28,457
I'll make your life hell.

1183
01:16:28,458 --> 01:16:29,374
Come with me.

1184
01:16:29,375 --> 01:16:31,707
What's all this? Who do you think you are?

1185
01:16:31,708 --> 01:16:33,249
Who's that man? Do any of you know him?

1186
01:16:33,708 --> 01:16:35,415
How did you know I was here?

1187
01:16:35,416 --> 01:16:36,332
I'll tell you later.

1188
01:16:36,333 --> 01:16:38,040
What the hell does that mean?

1189
01:16:47,833 --> 01:16:49,457
How did you find me?

1190
01:16:51,458 --> 01:16:55,874
Maybe Shang is getting soft in his old age.

1191
01:16:55,875 --> 01:16:58,249
He told me everything.

1192
01:16:58,583 --> 01:16:59,790
Xiao-Ou,

1193
01:17:00,041 --> 01:17:04,249
I came here to ask you to let me see my son.

1194
01:17:06,166 --> 01:17:07,290
No.

1195
01:17:09,666 --> 01:17:14,582
I have pancreatic cancer. It's terminal.

1196
01:17:15,250 --> 01:17:18,832
I only have one son in this world.

1197
01:17:21,458 --> 01:17:23,374
I have to see him.

1198
01:17:24,250 --> 01:17:26,415
Please let me see him, Xiao-Ou.

1199
01:17:26,625 --> 01:17:29,707
What does he look like? What's his name?

1200
01:17:34,583 --> 01:17:35,999
Le-Le.

1201
01:17:37,708 --> 01:17:41,665
Does he know about me at all?

1202
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:44,332
He does.

1203
01:17:55,083 --> 01:17:56,790
When I die, I want to leave him
everything I own.

1204
01:17:57,875 --> 01:18:01,332
When I die, I want to leave him
everything I own.

1205
01:18:03,791 --> 01:18:06,082
Send him to the best college.

1206
01:18:07,583 --> 01:18:09,874
He'll be fine as long as he doesn't gamble.

1207
01:18:11,333 --> 01:18:12,915
Let me see Le-Le.

1208
01:18:18,375 --> 01:18:20,207
I have to answer this.

1209
01:18:23,250 --> 01:18:29,832
Xiao-Ou, my cousin's about to lose everything.

1210
01:18:30,750 --> 01:18:32,999
Can you call back later?

1211
01:18:34,333 --> 01:18:36,874
I wanted to share the good news.

1212
01:18:37,166 --> 01:18:38,457
Stop, enough already.

1213
01:18:39,041 --> 01:18:40,790
How can I stop?

1214
01:18:44,291 --> 01:18:48,290
Le-Le! I said to wait in the lobby.

1215
01:18:48,291 --> 01:18:49,207
Where did you go?

1216
01:18:49,208 --> 01:18:52,207
I saw you arguing with that lady, mama.

1217
01:18:59,750 --> 01:19:03,874
Remember how you wanted to meet your dad?

1218
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,040
Well, if your dad came to see you,
would you want to meet him?

1219
01:20:45,583 --> 01:20:50,332
Xiao-Ou, I've been a burden to you
and your son all these years.

1220
01:20:51,083 --> 01:20:53,624
That's been like a bottomless pit in my heart,

1221
01:20:53,625 --> 01:20:57,249
but now that pit has finally been filled in.

1222
01:20:58,666 --> 01:21:02,290
I'll wire you the money within ten days.

1223
01:21:02,916 --> 01:21:05,624
You should quit the business.
Live your life in peace.

1224
01:21:13,500 --> 01:21:17,374
You should leave here today.

1225
01:21:18,458 --> 01:21:21,415
Why do I always attract troublemakers like you?

1226
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:26,999
You know who came to see me yesterday?

1227
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:28,415
Who?

1228
01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:36,540
Lu Jin-Tong. He came to see his son.

1229
01:22:13,875 --> 01:22:15,832
When we got to Urumqi, we found out

1230
01:22:15,833 --> 01:22:18,374
that Duan's so-called property project
is all hot air.

1231
01:22:18,375 --> 01:22:20,082
There's nothing there.

1232
01:22:20,083 --> 01:22:21,457
All the signs indicate that

1233
01:22:21,458 --> 01:22:23,415
Duan's funding has dried up.

1234
01:22:23,416 --> 01:22:24,790
We have to take him to court.

1235
01:22:24,791 --> 01:22:25,874
That's right.

1236
01:22:30,833 --> 01:22:33,957
Sorry, I heard your lawyers arrived
right after I left Urumqi.

1237
01:22:34,333 --> 01:22:37,249
I fell seriously ill in Xinjiang.
I'm in treatment right now.

1238
01:22:37,541 --> 01:22:39,207
Can I get an extra week?

1239
01:22:39,208 --> 01:22:40,874
I'll pay you back once I recover.

1240
01:22:41,083 --> 01:22:45,999
I've been sending him one message a day
since he missed his deadline.

1241
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:48,124
These are very useful for us.

1242
01:22:48,125 --> 01:22:48,790
They can be used as evidence.

1243
01:22:48,791 --> 01:22:49,790
They can be used as evidence.

1244
01:22:50,666 --> 01:22:52,415
(Take care of yourself, Mr. Duan.)

1245
01:22:52,583 --> 01:22:56,165
(We'll sort out our problems in court.)

1246
01:22:58,458 --> 01:23:00,915
(Sorry to hear that.
I'll see you in court, then.)

1247
01:23:00,916 --> 01:23:03,707
(But remember,
you're not all that clean yourself.)

1248
01:23:03,708 --> 01:23:06,957
(You think you can hold your head high
in front of a judge?)

1249
01:23:06,958 --> 01:23:09,082
(I've done my research.)

1250
01:23:11,166 --> 01:23:12,040
Hello?

1251
01:23:12,041 --> 01:23:14,415
One of my men just saw a guy
that looks like Duan

1252
01:23:14,416 --> 01:23:16,457
in The Golden Dragon.

1253
01:23:17,250 --> 01:23:20,082
Go check if it's him, then.

1254
01:23:20,958 --> 01:23:22,207
Player has five.

1255
01:23:22,208 --> 01:23:23,290
Banker has seven.

1256
01:23:23,875 --> 01:23:24,874
Banker wins.

1257
01:23:24,916 --> 01:23:26,332
Xiao-Ou.

1258
01:23:26,333 --> 01:23:28,082
It's him.

1259
01:23:28,291 --> 01:23:29,124
Is he playing?

1260
01:23:29,125 --> 01:23:32,207
It was Hua. He set up a 20-fold side bet.

1261
01:23:32,208 --> 01:23:34,082
The game he's put together
has scared all the casinos in town.

1262
01:23:34,250 --> 01:23:37,915
The game he's put together
has scared all the casinos in town.

1263
01:23:37,916 --> 01:23:40,415
Looks like Duan is going for one last hurrah.

1264
01:23:40,416 --> 01:23:43,040
A lot of brokers want a piece of this game.

1265
01:23:43,041 --> 01:23:44,874
I see a bunch of lackeys watching him.

1266
01:23:45,458 --> 01:23:46,915
Why's it so crowded?

1267
01:23:46,916 --> 01:23:48,415
Can't they wait outside?

1268
01:23:48,416 --> 01:23:50,707
Mr. Duan, you're playing 20-fold today.

1269
01:23:50,708 --> 01:23:53,749
Your creditors need some assurances.

1270
01:23:53,750 --> 01:23:54,957
Fine.

1271
01:23:54,958 --> 01:23:57,040
Let them watch me kick their bosses' asses.

1272
01:23:57,416 --> 01:23:58,582
Let's go.

1273
01:23:58,583 --> 01:23:59,374
Banker.

1274
01:24:02,750 --> 01:24:03,915
Banker wins.

1275
01:24:05,250 --> 01:24:06,707
Go tip the kids.

1276
01:24:06,708 --> 01:24:10,332
Thank you, sir. Good luck!

1277
01:24:10,750 --> 01:24:12,165
Go away.

1278
01:24:13,166 --> 01:24:15,874
He's won again! He's on a streak!

1279
01:24:17,583 --> 01:24:20,124
(I just arrived in Beijing. Can we meet?)

1280
01:24:20,875 --> 01:24:22,207
Player.

1281
01:24:22,458 --> 01:24:23,165
Banker.

1282
01:24:23,166 --> 01:24:25,374
(I'm sick. Maybe after I get better.)

1283
01:24:27,083 --> 01:24:28,540
(Can I visit you, then?)

1284
01:24:28,958 --> 01:24:29,999
Pay up.

1285
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,457
(I'm contagious. The doctor says no visitors.)

1286
01:24:33,083 --> 01:24:34,457
(Can I send you some gifts?)

1287
01:24:34,791 --> 01:24:36,374
(No need. Got plenty.)

1288
01:24:36,375 --> 01:24:39,790
(Best gift: your leniency.)

1289
01:24:43,291 --> 01:24:44,124
Xiao-Ou?

1290
01:24:44,125 --> 01:24:46,332
Leave him alone. Let him keep playing.

1291
01:24:46,333 --> 01:24:48,957
Let's see if he's still arrogant

1292
01:24:48,958 --> 01:24:50,790
when he loses everything.

1293
01:24:51,333 --> 01:24:55,749
Letting him settle his debt to me now
would be like a slap in my face.

1294
01:24:56,041 --> 01:24:58,207
Leave him be.

1295
01:25:03,166 --> 01:25:05,290
I stayed in contact with Cat,

1296
01:25:05,291 --> 01:25:08,415
who kept me updated on
how Duan did in every game.

1297
01:25:12,333 --> 01:25:13,082
Go.

1298
01:25:13,083 --> 01:25:13,957
No more bets.

1299
01:25:19,125 --> 01:25:20,415
Player has eight.

1300
01:25:20,416 --> 01:25:21,082
Yes!

1301
01:25:21,083 --> 01:25:22,749
Banker has eight. It's a draw.

1302
01:25:23,291 --> 01:25:25,332
This is his longest winning streak yet.

1303
01:25:25,500 --> 01:25:28,999
If he leaves now,
his creditors are in huge trouble.

1304
01:25:29,375 --> 01:25:31,832
I'm on my way back now.

1305
01:25:31,833 --> 01:25:33,290
Keep an eye on him.

1306
01:25:37,250 --> 01:25:39,124
By the time I got off the ferry,

1307
01:25:39,125 --> 01:25:41,499
Duan was up a hundred million,

1308
01:25:41,625 --> 01:25:43,582
plus 20 times more in side bets.

1309
01:25:43,583 --> 01:25:46,624
It's almost enough
to cover his debt to Hua and me.

1310
01:25:47,125 --> 01:25:49,249
I only had one thought in my head:

1311
01:25:49,916 --> 01:25:52,957
Please walk away, Mr. Duan.

1312
01:25:54,083 --> 01:25:54,790
No more bets.

1313
01:25:54,791 --> 01:25:55,790
Flip 'em.

1314
01:25:56,708 --> 01:25:57,832
Banker has eight.

1315
01:25:59,625 --> 01:26:01,249
Great! Busted!

1316
01:26:01,250 --> 01:26:05,499
Come on, bro, one or two is all you need.

1317
01:26:10,166 --> 01:26:11,040
Zero for the player.

1318
01:26:11,041 --> 01:26:12,749
Can you tell them to shut up?

1319
01:26:16,791 --> 01:26:18,165
How many games now?

1320
01:26:18,708 --> 01:26:19,999
Over 50.

1321
01:26:20,375 --> 01:26:22,040
The streak's almost over.

1322
01:26:23,625 --> 01:26:25,290
Banker. No more bets.

1323
01:26:25,625 --> 01:26:26,999
Cards for the banker.

1324
01:26:30,416 --> 01:26:32,207
Player has eight.

1325
01:26:39,791 --> 01:26:40,874
Give me a moment.

1326
01:26:40,875 --> 01:26:41,957
Sure.

1327
01:26:42,041 --> 01:26:43,290
Security.

1328
01:27:20,208 --> 01:27:21,540
Banker has six.

1329
01:27:21,708 --> 01:27:22,957
Player wins.

1330
01:27:44,625 --> 01:27:45,749
No more bets.

1331
01:27:52,583 --> 01:27:54,249
Player has zero.

1332
01:27:55,375 --> 01:27:56,957
Banker has zero.

1333
01:27:57,250 --> 01:27:58,290
Player gets a card.

1334
01:27:58,666 --> 01:27:59,790
Banker gets a card.

1335
01:28:02,458 --> 01:28:03,790
Player has five.

1336
01:28:04,291 --> 01:28:05,540
Banker has four.

1337
01:28:06,041 --> 01:28:07,249
Player wins.

1338
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:26,499
He said he's waiting for you in his room.

1339
01:28:36,000 --> 01:28:39,915
This is the deed to a good piece of land
I own in Haikou.

1340
01:28:40,083 --> 01:28:42,290
It's worth more than what I owe you.

1341
01:28:42,750 --> 01:28:43,957
Take it.

1342
01:28:45,916 --> 01:28:49,124
The deed is authentic.

1343
01:28:49,291 --> 01:28:51,332
But here's the problem:

1344
01:28:51,541 --> 01:28:54,290
Duan has already mortgaged the land.

1345
01:28:54,458 --> 01:28:57,082
Judging by the date,
the deed's already invalid.

1346
01:28:57,458 --> 01:29:00,290
If we take this to court now,
we'll have trouble.

1347
01:29:01,541 --> 01:29:04,374
Duan bolted after giving me the deed.

1348
01:29:04,375 --> 01:29:06,165
He vanished into thin air,

1349
01:29:06,250 --> 01:29:08,499
making sure that
I wouldn't be able to find him.

1350
01:29:08,750 --> 01:29:10,999
Some say he got implicated in a scandal,

1351
01:29:11,291 --> 01:29:15,332
and went into hiding overseas.

1352
01:29:15,333 --> 01:29:17,040
Give that back! Give me that...

1353
01:29:18,250 --> 01:29:21,790
You can't take that! Who are you?

1354
01:29:21,791 --> 01:29:25,290
Three weeks after Duan went missing,
his wife had a stroke.

1355
01:29:25,750 --> 01:29:29,165
She and their daughter lost their mansion,

1356
01:29:29,250 --> 01:29:31,707
and moved into two-room flat in the suburbs.

1357
01:29:32,291 --> 01:29:35,707
Macau saw a large-scale
reclamation project in 2011.

1358
01:29:36,083 --> 01:29:38,790
Artificial beaches replaced natural ones.

1359
01:29:39,416 --> 01:29:43,790
Tides once governed by Earth's rotation now
seemed driven by motorization.

1360
01:29:44,500 --> 01:29:46,957
Macau was looking newer by the day,

1361
01:29:47,500 --> 01:29:49,374
but I was back to where I started.

1362
01:29:53,208 --> 01:29:54,415
It's full.

1363
01:29:56,750 --> 01:29:57,707
Just wait.

1364
01:29:57,708 --> 01:29:58,624
Look.

1365
01:30:06,500 --> 01:30:08,082
Waitress, clear the table.

1366
01:30:08,083 --> 01:30:09,124
Sure thing.

1367
01:30:09,666 --> 01:30:11,999
Two bowls of lamb soup
and two roasted pancakes.

1368
01:30:12,208 --> 01:30:13,332
- Just a moment.
- Thanks.

1369
01:30:16,666 --> 01:30:19,832
Xiao-Ou,
I've got a huge development in the works.

1370
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:22,790
A shopping mall in Linyi, Shandong.

1371
01:30:25,125 --> 01:30:26,457
Look,

1372
01:30:28,083 --> 01:30:31,165
I could make billions in profit.

1373
01:30:31,166 --> 01:30:34,165
This one deal would clear all my debts.

1374
01:30:34,333 --> 01:30:36,457
Two bowls of lamb soup!

1375
01:30:36,458 --> 01:30:38,415
Take a look.

1376
01:30:43,666 --> 01:30:47,540
With my connections and experience,
this project could put me back on track.

1377
01:30:48,375 --> 01:30:50,374
What do you want from me?

1378
01:30:50,375 --> 01:30:52,415
Bidders have to put up a deposit.

1379
01:30:52,416 --> 01:30:54,749
I don't have enough, so I need your help.

1380
01:30:54,750 --> 01:30:56,332
You're talking to the wrong person.

1381
01:30:59,958 --> 01:31:06,290
Xiao-Ou, rescuing my project
means rescuing the money I owe you.

1382
01:31:08,708 --> 01:31:11,915
Mr. Duan, it's been two years
since I last saw you.

1383
01:31:11,916 --> 01:31:13,124
What have you been doing?

1384
01:31:13,125 --> 01:31:14,290
Nothing, really.

1385
01:31:15,166 --> 01:31:17,207
I went into hiding abroad for two years.

1386
01:31:19,083 --> 01:31:21,249
I hear Mrs. Duan had another stroke.

1387
01:31:22,750 --> 01:31:26,040
You should be careful. She could be in danger.

1388
01:31:27,041 --> 01:31:28,540
Everything's changed.

1389
01:31:28,916 --> 01:31:30,999
I'm all she has now.

1390
01:31:34,333 --> 01:31:37,040
All she has left are your protection and love.

1391
01:31:38,666 --> 01:31:41,624
I came back to take care of her.

1392
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,749
Enough. Can we not talk about this?

1393
01:31:54,500 --> 01:31:55,832
Do you still gamble?

1394
01:31:56,083 --> 01:31:57,457
For the sake of my family...

1395
01:31:59,041 --> 01:32:00,374
I quit.

1396
01:32:00,791 --> 01:32:02,457
Besides, I've got nothing to gamble with.

1397
01:32:07,375 --> 01:32:08,457
Xiao-Ou.

1398
01:32:09,291 --> 01:32:10,707
Lend me two million.

1399
01:32:10,875 --> 01:32:13,249
Even if I fail,
you'll get it back in two months.

1400
01:32:14,083 --> 01:32:17,790
I'll pay you 10% interest each month.

1401
01:32:29,416 --> 01:32:32,332
It was April
when I finally got Shi Qilan's address.

1402
01:32:32,333 --> 01:32:36,790
The sandstorm blanketing Beijing
had traveled thousands of miles.

1403
01:32:36,791 --> 01:32:41,624
By evening, the storm
had exhausted itself and died down.

1404
01:32:41,625 --> 01:32:42,415
Mr. Chai.

1405
01:32:42,416 --> 01:32:43,207
Hey.

1406
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:47,790
Have you heard from Shi Qilan?

1407
01:32:47,958 --> 01:32:50,249
Oh, him.

1408
01:32:50,916 --> 01:32:52,415
He's hiding from his creditors.

1409
01:32:54,833 --> 01:32:56,999
He showed up here one day

1410
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:58,624
and borrowed 200 from me.

1411
01:32:59,500 --> 01:33:02,124
He mailed the cash back in this envelope.

1412
01:33:03,250 --> 01:33:06,665
Luzhai township, Liuzhou, Guangxi Province.

1413
01:33:21,666 --> 01:33:22,707
A sculptor?

1414
01:33:22,916 --> 01:33:24,749
We haven't heard about anyone from Beijing.

1415
01:33:24,875 --> 01:33:26,874
The postmark is from here, though.

1416
01:33:27,083 --> 01:33:29,707
Luzhai township is miles away.

1417
01:33:30,958 --> 01:33:32,790
Over that mountain.

1418
01:33:40,416 --> 01:33:42,999
Sir? Sir!

1419
01:33:45,541 --> 01:33:46,665
Can I help you?

1420
01:33:47,541 --> 01:33:50,124
Do you know this address?

1421
01:33:50,125 --> 01:33:51,290
It's a lumber mill.

1422
01:33:51,291 --> 01:33:54,332
There are a few up the mountain.
Ask around up there.

1423
01:33:54,583 --> 01:33:57,457
Ma'am. Is there a lumber mill around here?

1424
01:33:57,833 --> 01:33:59,999
Yes, it's just around the corner.

1425
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:00,790
Thank you.

1426
01:34:00,791 --> 01:34:01,707
You're welcome.

1427
01:34:25,291 --> 01:34:27,165
It's nice and peaceful here.

1428
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,207
Not even the police know you're here.

1429
01:34:36,458 --> 01:34:39,707
So your new incarnation is a hermit?

1430
01:34:39,958 --> 01:34:42,582
Well, losing everything was liberating.

1431
01:34:42,750 --> 01:34:44,374
I can sculpt whatever I want.

1432
01:34:54,500 --> 01:34:55,874
Is this me?

1433
01:34:57,333 --> 01:34:58,624
It's not done yet.

1434
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:00,457
It's just a rough model.

1435
01:35:01,083 --> 01:35:04,457
The clay here's no good.
I want to make a copper cast instead.

1436
01:35:05,791 --> 01:35:07,249
How did you find this place?

1437
01:35:09,250 --> 01:35:11,082
How's the wife and kid?

1438
01:35:14,041 --> 01:35:16,124
Xiao-Xiao left me two and a half years ago.

1439
01:35:16,500 --> 01:35:18,624
She said she never wants to see me again.

1440
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:20,582
Told me not to look for them.

1441
01:35:22,708 --> 01:35:24,624
Sell these to me.

1442
01:35:24,875 --> 01:35:25,915
Why?

1443
01:35:25,916 --> 01:35:27,207
Why what?

1444
01:35:27,416 --> 01:35:28,915
Because I like them.

1445
01:35:29,500 --> 01:35:32,457
How can we talk about money?

1446
01:35:32,833 --> 01:35:34,457
Just name your price.

1447
01:35:35,208 --> 01:35:36,624
Don't get angry at my price, then.

1448
01:35:36,875 --> 01:35:38,624
Why would I?

1449
01:35:40,250 --> 01:35:41,540
Xiao-Ou,

1450
01:35:42,333 --> 01:35:43,665
if you want these,

1451
01:35:43,916 --> 01:35:45,290
you can have them for free.

1452
01:35:47,958 --> 01:35:49,415
I have a condition, then.

1453
01:35:49,750 --> 01:35:50,874
What is it?

1454
01:35:51,041 --> 01:35:53,332
I haven't touched any of the money you gave me.

1455
01:35:55,041 --> 01:35:57,165
Use it to cover your debt down south.

1456
01:35:58,250 --> 01:36:01,457
Then you can make a proper comeback.

1457
01:36:17,458 --> 01:36:19,165
Now that you've quit gambling,

1458
01:36:21,333 --> 01:36:23,332
even your scent has changed.

1459
01:36:48,583 --> 01:36:49,957
Thanks.

1460
01:36:55,333 --> 01:36:56,624
Aren't you going to sleep?

1461
01:36:57,250 --> 01:36:58,749
I want to get some work done.

1462
01:37:00,375 --> 01:37:02,082
You didn't come to bed until morning.

1463
01:37:02,083 --> 01:37:04,290
You barely slept. Go back to bed.

1464
01:37:05,541 --> 01:37:07,582
The way you tie your hair up

1465
01:37:08,208 --> 01:37:11,332
reminds me of Monet's haystacks.

1466
01:37:12,375 --> 01:37:13,540
I don't get it.

1467
01:37:47,291 --> 01:37:48,790
Ma, where are the instant noodles?

1468
01:37:50,041 --> 01:37:53,582
Can't you see I'm cooking already?
Just wait a few minutes.

1469
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:00,874
Dad called me.

1470
01:38:02,125 --> 01:38:04,707
He's in critical condition.
He wants me to visit him.

1471
01:38:06,125 --> 01:38:07,624
Again?

1472
01:38:07,791 --> 01:38:11,040
He's been in critical condition
a few times already.

1473
01:38:13,291 --> 01:38:16,290
He doesn't even have the right to be sick?

1474
01:38:20,625 --> 01:38:22,124
What are you crying for?

1475
01:38:22,375 --> 01:38:23,832
I didn't say that you can't go.

1476
01:38:23,833 --> 01:38:25,374
I'm not crying.

1477
01:38:30,083 --> 01:38:35,290
These last few years, I've let you visit him

1478
01:38:35,458 --> 01:38:37,624
whenever you have a holiday, right?

1479
01:38:43,416 --> 01:38:45,082
Has your father really stopped gambling?

1480
01:38:45,416 --> 01:38:47,207
Didn't Uncle Shi used to gamble, too?

1481
01:38:49,291 --> 01:38:51,165
They're different.

1482
01:39:00,791 --> 01:39:02,124
Le-Le.

1483
01:39:03,625 --> 01:39:04,540
Xiao-Ou, Mr. Duan is at I'Arc,

1484
01:39:04,541 --> 01:39:06,124
Xiao-Ou, Mr. Duan is at I'Arc,

1485
01:39:06,125 --> 01:39:08,332
spending the two million you lent him.

1486
01:39:08,541 --> 01:39:10,582
Thought you might want to go take a look.

1487
01:39:17,250 --> 01:39:21,915
Cat, please. Deal with Duan for me.

1488
01:39:22,708 --> 01:39:25,415
I'm in the wrong line of work.
I can't do this anymore.

1489
01:39:27,583 --> 01:39:28,624
Xiao-Ou, I wish I could.

1490
01:39:28,750 --> 01:39:30,290
Xiao-Ou, I wish I could.

1491
01:39:30,583 --> 01:39:33,207
Duan says he'll only pay his creditors,

1492
01:39:33,500 --> 01:39:34,832
not a middleman like me.

1493
01:39:35,333 --> 01:39:36,832
You have to collect from him yourself.

1494
01:39:36,916 --> 01:39:40,165
Come on, three! Come on, four!

1495
01:39:40,583 --> 01:39:46,915
Win! Win! Win!

1496
01:39:47,166 --> 01:39:50,082
Win! Win! Win!

1497
01:39:50,083 --> 01:39:51,499
Mr. Duan.

1498
01:39:53,791 --> 01:39:55,499
Let me finish this game.

1499
01:39:55,875 --> 01:39:57,832
I didn't recognize those hands anymore.

1500
01:39:58,000 --> 01:40:01,165
Those hands that started with humble pancakes,

1501
01:40:01,291 --> 01:40:03,332
and went on to build skyscrapers,

1502
01:40:03,416 --> 01:40:07,415
now folding cards like a two-bit gambler.
How embarrassing.

1503
01:40:07,875 --> 01:40:11,415
He's no longer the man he was,

1504
01:40:11,625 --> 01:40:14,082
but he still has intensity and sophistication.

1505
01:40:14,291 --> 01:40:19,165
He mustered up the same smile
he gave me when we first met.

1506
01:40:19,166 --> 01:40:20,290
Xiao-Ou.

1507
01:40:21,041 --> 01:40:24,124
I was looking at some land in Zhuhai.
Thought I'd play a few hands.

1508
01:40:24,333 --> 01:40:25,540
How are you?

1509
01:40:25,791 --> 01:40:27,082
I'm fine.

1510
01:40:27,416 --> 01:40:28,874
I quit my job,

1511
01:40:28,875 --> 01:40:31,332
and handed most of my clients to Cat.

1512
01:40:32,208 --> 01:40:33,207
Xiao-Ou says

1513
01:40:33,208 --> 01:40:36,374
I'll be handling your account from now on.

1514
01:40:36,583 --> 01:40:37,582
He can do that?

1515
01:40:37,625 --> 01:40:40,457
I'll lend you what you owe her first.

1516
01:40:40,458 --> 01:40:42,582
You pay her back, then I'll collect from you.

1517
01:40:43,125 --> 01:40:45,874
I'm still your Mr. Duan.

1518
01:40:46,958 --> 01:40:49,915
How can you sell my debt like this?

1519
01:40:51,041 --> 01:40:52,499
Slavery's been over for ages.

1520
01:40:52,500 --> 01:40:55,582
Now you're selling your debtors
away like slaves?

1521
01:40:57,875 --> 01:41:00,290
The court didn't say a third party
could do this.

1522
01:41:00,291 --> 01:41:04,874
I won't let him do this.
I have no connection to him!

1523
01:41:11,500 --> 01:41:13,249
Stop fighting!

1524
01:41:13,250 --> 01:41:14,707
Stop!

1525
01:41:14,708 --> 01:41:15,957
You lowlife!

1526
01:41:16,041 --> 01:41:17,874
There are cameras in here!

1527
01:41:18,458 --> 01:41:19,582
Stop fighting!

1528
01:41:19,791 --> 01:41:21,124
Stop. You hear me?

1529
01:41:21,625 --> 01:41:22,749
Stop. You hear me?

1530
01:41:23,250 --> 01:41:24,540
Stop fighting.

1531
01:41:25,041 --> 01:41:26,707
Get him out of here.

1532
01:41:28,666 --> 01:41:31,249
Stop.

1533
01:41:33,208 --> 01:41:37,040
You told Xiao-Ou that two mil was for a bid!

1534
01:41:37,541 --> 01:41:38,957
What happened to the damn bid?

1535
01:41:39,625 --> 01:41:41,082
You made up some bullshit story

1536
01:41:41,291 --> 01:41:42,999
and passed off a fake land deed!

1537
01:41:43,125 --> 01:41:45,040
The deed was real! Ask her!

1538
01:41:45,041 --> 01:41:46,832
You're right!

1539
01:41:47,250 --> 01:41:49,665
Can I talk to Mr. Duan alone?

1540
01:41:53,666 --> 01:41:55,040
No!

1541
01:41:57,041 --> 01:42:02,499
Ask him if he blew
the two mil "bidding" in the casino!

1542
01:42:03,333 --> 01:42:07,374
Fine, I'll ask him myself! Back off!

1543
01:42:11,208 --> 01:42:12,374
Hey!

1544
01:42:12,583 --> 01:42:15,040
Tell him to pay back that two mil first!

1545
01:42:20,458 --> 01:42:23,540
Cat had stripped away
Duan's last shred of dignity.

1546
01:42:24,541 --> 01:42:28,790
I heard that he was arrested
at the airport in Beijing.

1547
01:42:29,625 --> 01:42:33,124
His business was shut down for investigation.

1548
01:42:33,583 --> 01:42:38,415
His unpaid debt and the home
I'd mortgaged went down the drain.

1549
01:43:02,916 --> 01:43:04,415
Passport please.

1550
01:43:12,375 --> 01:43:14,082
Here. The boarding gate is that way.

1551
01:43:14,291 --> 01:43:15,624
Thank you.

1552
01:43:16,291 --> 01:43:18,582
Don't be gone for too long.

1553
01:43:20,875 --> 01:43:22,874
Thanks.

1554
01:43:28,416 --> 01:43:30,207
Unwrap it.

1555
01:43:37,541 --> 01:43:39,874
The anti-graft campaign has hit Macau.

1556
01:43:40,125 --> 01:43:42,082
Mainland tourism has dwindled.

1557
01:43:42,375 --> 01:43:45,832
The gaming industry saw negative growth
for the first time in a decade.

1558
01:43:45,833 --> 01:43:49,290
VIP rooms, once packed, are now empty.

1559
01:43:49,958 --> 01:43:52,249
Many of them are shutting...

1560
01:43:53,250 --> 01:43:54,540
Xiao-Ou!

1561
01:43:55,666 --> 01:43:57,749
Hua's disappeared.

1562
01:43:57,750 --> 01:43:59,582
He was afraid of being
dragged into Duan's case.

1563
01:43:59,583 --> 01:44:01,540
He fled with two billion in dirty money.

1564
01:44:01,541 --> 01:44:02,999
His VIP rooms are closed,

1565
01:44:03,000 --> 01:44:04,249
and even Ms. Fay's in trouble.

1566
01:44:04,500 --> 01:44:06,207
Everyone's looking for him,

1567
01:44:06,208 --> 01:44:07,540
even Interpol.

1568
01:44:21,583 --> 01:44:22,707
Le-Le.

1569
01:44:38,083 --> 01:44:43,499
Melbourne police recovered a body
from the beach yesterday.

1570
01:44:43,583 --> 01:44:47,749
The victim, a Chinese man,
was apparently stabbed to death two days go.

1571
01:44:47,750 --> 01:44:51,165
The body later washed ashore.
The case is under investigation.

1572
01:44:51,166 --> 01:44:53,040
Police has found a dead body.

1573
01:44:53,041 --> 01:44:55,082
The body has not been identified yet.

1574
01:44:55,083 --> 01:44:57,832
However, the victim seems to be Asian.

1575
01:44:57,833 --> 01:44:59,665
The police is gathering evidence
and questioning the witnesses.

1576
01:44:59,666 --> 01:45:00,832
- Xiao-Ou?
- Cat.

1577
01:45:00,833 --> 01:45:03,249
My friend saw Le-Le gambling
with some rich kids.

1578
01:45:03,250 --> 01:45:05,457
Who? Le-Le!

1579
01:45:05,458 --> 01:45:06,540
Yes.

1580
01:45:17,625 --> 01:45:20,457
Come on! Bet on the player! Deal the cards.

1581
01:45:20,958 --> 01:45:25,082
Nine! Nine! Nine! Nine!

1582
01:45:25,250 --> 01:45:30,082
Two on the side! Two! Two!

1583
01:45:31,375 --> 01:45:33,249
That's enough. Seven.

1584
01:45:35,291 --> 01:45:39,707
Win! Win! Win!

1585
01:45:41,708 --> 01:45:45,040
Win! Win! Win!

1586
01:45:46,333 --> 01:45:49,540
You're doing pretty well. Go all in.

1587
01:45:50,416 --> 01:45:51,665
Ma.

1588
01:45:54,041 --> 01:45:55,749
Where did you get the money?

1589
01:45:58,750 --> 01:46:00,207
Dad left it for me.

1590
01:46:00,375 --> 01:46:01,665
How much?

1591
01:46:01,833 --> 01:46:03,374
200 grand.

1592
01:46:03,375 --> 01:46:04,832
I wasn't gambling, Ma.

1593
01:46:04,916 --> 01:46:07,499
I'm the dealer. I'm the banker!

1594
01:46:07,500 --> 01:46:09,415
The odds are on my side!

1595
01:46:09,416 --> 01:46:11,582
I've already won 70 grand!

1596
01:46:11,666 --> 01:46:13,665
You and Uncle Shi
want to open a gallery, right?

1597
01:46:13,958 --> 01:46:15,540
I'm raising this money for you.

1598
01:46:26,083 --> 01:46:27,540
What are you doing, ma?

1599
01:46:31,583 --> 01:46:33,540
I was making the money for you!

1600
01:46:57,500 --> 01:46:58,749
Ma...

1601
01:46:59,416 --> 01:47:01,790
Where are you going?

1602
01:47:11,708 --> 01:47:16,165
What are you doing?

1603
01:47:17,416 --> 01:47:18,415
Ma!

1604
01:47:19,041 --> 01:47:21,040
Why couldn't you inherit the good qualities?

1605
01:47:21,041 --> 01:47:22,582
Why couldn't you inherit the good qualities?

1606
01:47:24,958 --> 01:47:26,540
Ma! Stop it!

1607
01:47:27,208 --> 01:47:28,415
Ma.

1608
01:47:29,583 --> 01:47:32,040
I'm sorry! I was wrong!

1609
01:47:32,041 --> 01:47:33,915
Please don't burn the money!

1610
01:47:33,916 --> 01:47:35,624
It's my fault! I'm sorry!

1611
01:47:35,625 --> 01:47:36,957
I won't do it again!

1612
01:47:36,958 --> 01:47:39,415
Ma... please! I won't do it again!

1613
01:47:39,416 --> 01:47:40,499
Don't touch me!

1614
01:47:43,041 --> 01:47:44,249
Ma...

1615
01:47:45,208 --> 01:47:46,790
Take your hands off me.

1616
01:47:48,083 --> 01:47:50,040
Touch me again,
and I'll burn this house to the ground.

1617
01:47:50,541 --> 01:47:51,665
You hear me?

1618
01:47:52,083 --> 01:47:54,290
Think you can make money now?

1619
01:47:57,250 --> 01:47:59,915
It's on fire, Ma. It's on fire!

1620
01:48:03,791 --> 01:48:06,499
Poverty drove us mad.

1621
01:48:07,125 --> 01:48:09,040
Our ancestors were poor.

1622
01:48:09,791 --> 01:48:11,415
It made us money-crazy.

1623
01:48:11,666 --> 01:48:14,374
Made us not care where the money came from.

1624
01:48:14,791 --> 01:48:16,249
Then it made us poor again.

1625
01:48:20,500 --> 01:48:24,915
Uncle Shi! Uncle Shi!

1626
01:48:25,125 --> 01:48:26,457
What's wrong?

1627
01:48:27,125 --> 01:48:30,415
My mom's burning cash.

1628
01:48:31,000 --> 01:48:32,165
Call someone!

1629
01:48:32,208 --> 01:48:33,707
What are you doing, Xiao-Ou?

1630
01:48:34,458 --> 01:48:35,874
Are you mad?

1631
01:48:47,583 --> 01:48:50,249
(December, 2014.)

1632
01:48:55,333 --> 01:48:57,124
Mr. Shi, do you have any comments

1633
01:48:57,125 --> 01:48:58,457
about your show here in Macau?

1634
01:48:58,458 --> 01:49:01,499
I want to thank everyone for being here.

1635
01:49:02,083 --> 01:49:04,457
I've always wanted to have a show in Macau.

1636
01:49:04,458 --> 01:49:05,332
Ms. Fay, you're here, too.

1637
01:49:05,541 --> 01:49:06,582
Hello.

1638
01:49:07,375 --> 01:49:09,332
Mr. Duan sends his regards.

1639
01:49:14,166 --> 01:49:17,124
He said that he wasn't trying
to run out on his debt.

1640
01:49:17,541 --> 01:49:19,374
His older brother had to flee the country,

1641
01:49:19,375 --> 01:49:22,540
so he gave your money to his brother's kids.

1642
01:49:23,750 --> 01:49:26,915
His brother's been arrested,
and Duan will be released soon.

1643
01:49:27,541 --> 01:49:28,790
What for?

1644
01:49:29,208 --> 01:49:31,124
He's well-fed and has a roof over his head.

1645
01:49:31,125 --> 01:49:32,624
He should stay in there.

1646
01:49:32,791 --> 01:49:34,749
Don't say that. He still has to pay you back.

1647
01:49:34,750 --> 01:49:36,957
I vouched for him.
I have a responsibility, too.

1648
01:49:39,166 --> 01:49:41,374
You can give him those
when he gets out of jail.

1649
01:49:41,916 --> 01:49:43,249
I have a phone to answer.

1650
01:49:57,291 --> 01:49:58,874
Say something, Xiao-Xiao.

1651
01:49:59,041 --> 01:50:00,374
I know it's you.

1652
01:50:00,958 --> 01:50:02,290
I'm busy.

1653
01:50:02,333 --> 01:50:04,415
Qilan's gallery is opening today.

1654
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:07,790
Auntie Mei,

1655
01:50:07,791 --> 01:50:10,624
please give my daddy back to my mommy.

1656
01:50:11,166 --> 01:50:16,832
I need my daddy, Auntie Mei. I miss him...

1657
01:50:17,583 --> 01:50:18,832
Give the phone back to your mother.

1658
01:50:18,833 --> 01:50:21,957
My daddy's scared you'll be heartbroken,

1659
01:50:22,125 --> 01:50:23,374
that's why he can't come back.

1660
01:50:23,666 --> 01:50:26,290
I put a lot of emotion into each piece,

1661
01:50:26,291 --> 01:50:30,499
but if I had to pick a favorite,
it would be "Mother and Son".

1662
01:50:30,500 --> 01:50:34,124
Listen, Xiao-Xiao. Qilan isn't a thing.

1663
01:50:34,333 --> 01:50:36,707
You can't just throw him away
and then ask for him back.

1664
01:50:37,791 --> 01:50:41,957
Xiao-Ou, please let him come home.

1665
01:50:44,041 --> 01:50:47,749
Please don't destroy our family.

1666
01:51:19,833 --> 01:51:21,207
What's wrong?

1667
01:51:31,041 --> 01:51:33,124
Have you talked to Xiao-Xiao lately?

1668
01:51:34,916 --> 01:51:36,290
No.

1669
01:51:39,541 --> 01:51:40,957
Why would I do that?

1670
01:51:49,958 --> 01:51:51,374
Qilan,

1671
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:54,165
you and Xiao-Xiao are still legally married.

1672
01:51:54,583 --> 01:51:57,540
You don't have to sneak around.

1673
01:51:59,791 --> 01:52:01,749
We're doing just fine.

1674
01:52:02,875 --> 01:52:04,624
Why did you have to mention her?

1675
01:52:09,333 --> 01:52:14,665
I just asked a friend to tell them
that I'm doing fine.

1676
01:52:19,583 --> 01:52:21,457
So you did contact her.

1677
01:52:21,958 --> 01:52:25,124
What do the two of us have to do with her?

1678
01:52:26,291 --> 01:52:29,040
Xiao-Ou, I didn't talk to her.

1679
01:52:29,041 --> 01:52:30,790
You can check my phone and e-mail.

1680
01:52:30,791 --> 01:52:32,290
I don't even go online much.

1681
01:52:32,291 --> 01:52:35,707
A journalist friend
found out about the exhibition

1682
01:52:35,708 --> 01:52:36,999
and told her.

1683
01:52:37,000 --> 01:52:39,165
Ask him if you don't believe me.

1684
01:52:40,416 --> 01:52:41,582
What are you doing?

1685
01:52:42,958 --> 01:52:44,749
Xiao-Xiao called me.

1686
01:52:45,250 --> 01:52:47,332
She asked me to "give you back"!

1687
01:52:47,333 --> 01:52:49,874
She can have you! Go!

1688
01:52:55,875 --> 01:52:58,082
You're amazing, Qilan.

1689
01:52:58,083 --> 01:53:00,999
You just had to go behind my back
and call her, didn't you?

1690
01:53:01,500 --> 01:53:03,207
Where was she when you needed her?

1691
01:53:03,208 --> 01:53:04,582
Where was she when you needed her?

1692
01:53:04,625 --> 01:53:06,415
Go away!

1693
01:53:09,333 --> 01:53:11,582
Why didn't she remember your marriage then?

1694
01:53:11,875 --> 01:53:14,249
Now you're doing well,
and she suddenly remembers.

1695
01:53:14,708 --> 01:53:16,665
And you told her I'd be heartbroken.

1696
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:18,374
Why would I be?

1697
01:53:18,375 --> 01:53:20,707
Plenty of guys want me!

1698
01:53:21,375 --> 01:53:22,290
Don't get upset.

1699
01:53:22,291 --> 01:53:24,165
Who's upset?

1700
01:53:24,166 --> 01:53:25,374
Get out!

1701
01:53:25,458 --> 01:53:26,707
Leave.

1702
01:53:27,291 --> 01:53:29,457
She wants me to give you back, right?

1703
01:53:33,833 --> 01:53:34,874
What are you looking for?

1704
01:53:34,875 --> 01:53:36,124
My hat.

1705
01:53:37,791 --> 01:53:41,999
Your hat? Who gives a shit about your damn hat?

1706
01:53:42,250 --> 01:53:45,832
Take it. Now, go!

1707
01:53:45,833 --> 01:53:47,374
I'm not going anywhere!

1708
01:53:47,375 --> 01:53:48,540
Get out!

1709
01:53:49,458 --> 01:53:50,582
What?

1710
01:53:50,583 --> 01:53:52,832
You really think I'll be heartbroken if you go?

1711
01:53:53,041 --> 01:53:54,540
Don't you worry.

1712
01:53:54,541 --> 01:53:58,040
I'll be fine without you!

1713
01:53:58,416 --> 01:54:00,457
I'll find another man.

1714
01:54:01,541 --> 01:54:03,957
I've wanted you gone for the last two years.

1715
01:54:03,958 --> 01:54:06,290
Why are you still here?

1716
01:54:27,291 --> 01:54:28,665
Let me go!

1717
01:54:40,625 --> 01:54:42,165
Ow!

1718
01:54:48,250 --> 01:54:52,290
I'll never let anyone know
how much I didn't want him to go,

1719
01:54:53,416 --> 01:54:55,374
or how hurt I was.

1720
01:54:56,625 --> 01:54:58,957
Shi Qilan was the last man I loved.

1721
01:54:59,958 --> 01:55:05,082
My romantic history ends with him.

1722
01:55:06,375 --> 01:55:08,415
I don't know why I love him.

1723
01:55:09,208 --> 01:55:12,790
I don't know what I love about him, but I do.

1724
01:55:13,666 --> 01:55:15,415
It must be true love.

1725
01:56:02,875 --> 01:56:04,249
I'm on the way to the airport.

1726
01:56:04,250 --> 01:56:05,665
Let me talk to Xiao-Ou.

1727
01:56:06,333 --> 01:56:07,999
Xiao-Xiao wants to talk to you.

1728
01:56:09,375 --> 01:56:11,665
Thank you, Xiao-Ou.

1729
01:56:16,125 --> 01:56:18,207
Xiao-Xiao won't ever let you come back here.

1730
01:56:19,166 --> 01:56:22,249
This way, everyone!

1731
01:56:22,625 --> 01:56:26,790
Watch your step! Wait for me!

1732
01:56:32,916 --> 01:56:34,290
Got the itch?

1733
01:56:37,500 --> 01:56:38,749
I don't know.

1734
01:56:41,541 --> 01:56:46,415
Quitting gambling is like quitting drinking.
Avoiding it doesn't mean you've quit.

1735
01:56:46,666 --> 01:56:48,374
Quitting means taking a drink
without getting drunk.

1736
01:56:49,458 --> 01:56:50,832
In gambling,

1737
01:56:50,833 --> 01:56:53,165
walking away while you're ahead

1738
01:56:53,541 --> 01:56:54,915
means you've successfully quit.

1739
01:56:57,041 --> 01:56:59,040
I've been watching over you for two years.

1740
01:57:00,375 --> 01:57:03,874
If I leave you alone,
you'll probably gamble again.

1741
01:57:10,583 --> 01:57:12,040
Give me 15 minutes.

1742
01:57:18,416 --> 01:57:19,832
Place your bets.

1743
01:57:21,541 --> 01:57:22,665
No more bets.

1744
01:57:32,875 --> 01:57:35,082
Player has seven. Banker has six.

1745
01:57:35,083 --> 01:57:36,332
Player wins.

1746
01:57:47,458 --> 01:57:48,999
Your cards, sir.

1747
01:57:50,541 --> 01:57:51,624
Ok.

1748
01:57:55,833 --> 01:57:56,624
It's Mei Xiao-Ou.

1749
01:57:56,625 --> 01:57:57,582
Put Qilan on!

1750
01:57:57,583 --> 01:57:58,499
He's in the casino...

1751
01:57:58,500 --> 01:57:59,874
You've dragged him gambling again!

1752
01:58:00,708 --> 01:58:01,874
Your cards, sir.

1753
01:58:10,916 --> 01:58:12,332
Banker has zero.

1754
01:58:15,541 --> 01:58:16,249
Player has one.

1755
01:58:16,250 --> 01:58:17,082
Player wins.

1756
01:58:17,583 --> 01:58:18,665
He won three in a row.

1757
01:58:18,666 --> 01:58:19,832
Here you go, sir.

1758
01:58:47,666 --> 01:58:49,040
My winnings.

1759
01:58:54,208 --> 01:58:57,082
Your flight's delayed. Let's take a walk.

1760
01:58:59,166 --> 01:59:01,832
I walked away after winning three games.

1761
01:59:29,375 --> 01:59:30,749
I've quit gambling.

1762
01:59:31,958 --> 01:59:33,957
But the problem is, I can't quit you.

1763
01:59:33,958 --> 01:59:35,249
What should I do?

1764
01:59:37,666 --> 01:59:40,290
This is for you.

1765
02:00:37,208 --> 02:00:38,582
Why are you here?

1766
02:00:39,500 --> 02:00:40,707
To see you.

1767
02:00:43,833 --> 02:00:45,665
Can't trust that Liu.

1768
02:00:46,458 --> 02:00:49,499
I told him not to tell anyone,

1769
02:00:49,500 --> 02:00:52,790
including you creditors.

1770
02:00:56,833 --> 02:01:01,332
I'll never beg for mercy.

1771
02:01:03,541 --> 02:01:05,040
Everyone has to die eventually.

1772
02:01:10,208 --> 02:01:14,207
Don't worry,
Liu's been taking care of your wife.

1773
02:01:20,958 --> 02:01:22,582
It's no big deal.

1774
02:01:24,458 --> 02:01:26,332
Someone had to take the fall.

1775
02:01:27,166 --> 02:01:29,749
I can start feom scratch when I get out.

1776
02:01:30,416 --> 02:01:32,207
There is nothing to be afraid of.

1777
02:01:32,208 --> 02:01:33,707
There is nothing to be afraid of.

1778
02:01:36,958 --> 02:01:38,832
I'll be waiting for you to repay me.

1779
02:01:47,458 --> 02:01:48,665
Xiao-Ou...

1780
02:01:50,041 --> 02:01:55,374
I never understood why you chose this job

1781
02:01:55,375 --> 02:01:57,790
when you hate gamblers so much.

1782
02:02:01,250 --> 02:02:07,290
With your smarts, you're more than qualified
to be my company's vice-chairwoman.
