The Terrorisers (Kong bu fen zi)

The Terrorizers

It's almost daybreak!

I'll be done soon

Did I bother you?

Take this to the wash

It's gotten warm

What's wrong? Can't sleep again?

Thinking of the other rewrite

The closer the dead line the less inspired I get

Another rewrite?

I've never seen you this distressed

Relax

Writing a novel shouldn't be this life-consuming

Thought it was a small gambling den

But they are armed with guns

How many pieces they've got?

Not sure.

Should've called the Assault squad

I did. Should be there soon

Who blew the whistle?

it was the landlord

Freeze!

Spread'em out!

Don't move!

it happened on the first day of spring

If you truly feel for the seasons

you'll discover that changes are merely endless rebirths of the past

This spring, it is not different

To this married couple

their most serious problem was...

Chief died of a stroke last night!

We heard

We were just talking about it

Everyone is shocked

Well, I sort of suspected

something would come up

But I didn't expect it to be a stroke though

Didn't you notice he acted kind of weird lately?

His life was so boring

small incidents

would turn into big troubles for him

I heard he had an affair with another woman

and his wife found out

It's all hearsay though

Well, I doubt it

You can never tell

He really smoked too much

A carton only lasted him 2 or 3 days

What I'm concerned about is his family

Like his children's educational funds, the funeral, etc...

Well, I feel the late Chief

had made great contributions to the hospital

and I feel from now on...

We do have our policies regarding all these

We'll make all the arrangements accordingly

Yes, yes. I see...

By the way, who has seniority between you and Jing?

Well, we started at the same time

We graduated the same year from the same school

We were employed together by the hospital

I was like him no family connections totally on our own.

I like my job. It's stable...

I had an offer elsewhere with much higher pay....

But I felt it was less secure,

so I turned it down

I'm used to this job

and I deeply believe if I work hard

I'll be rewarded with career advancements

Sir, are you saying that...

Oh, nothing I just wondering

Anything else?

No, nothing

Thank you,Sir

Sir, there's this one thing...

Since the Chief has passed away

I felt obliged to let you know

about the scandal of cheating at the last open bidding

The late Chief shouldn't be held responsible

it was Jing

Why wasn't I informed before?

Jing's my good friend

I shouldn't have said anything

Ridiculous!

One shouldn't protect a friend

when a dead man has to shoulder the blame to his grave

That exactly how I feel

I'll look into this right away

Oh...please take care of the late Chief's workload

You'll be acting Chief or no

Yes...of course

Thank you,sir

Do you need someone to teach you a lesson

Why don't you leave? Just like your father!

And don't come back!

You've changed...

A lot

No. I'm not sure about that

Why don't you come work for me?

Am I qualified?

Qualified or not, I want you

I still remember how good you were

If not you,then who?

That was a long time ago

I haven't worked for years

You've been writing since then?

After 3 years, this is all I've got to show for it

I know this book

I also know that I was in one of your short stories

Shen got divorced

He left his old job

and came out on his own

I went to his new office today

He asked me to go work for him

He even said It's really a waste

to have someone like me at home

it might not be a bad idea

It's always nice to have jobs come to you for a change

I'm about to become Section Chief

What about Jing?

He got himself in trouble

Some big, big trouble

Fucking bitch !

What the...?You're still alive?

You're the only one that got away?

Heard it was the landlord who snitched

Old Y's too much

running tables without giving the landlord a piece

Didn't even pay a rent!

Of course you can't find them

They've all split town

Some have gone down south

Shun? Shun's in the slammer

OldY's put away for life

Are you looking to hideout?

Come over here then

Crowded places are the best

Let me tell you

the more crowded a place is the safer it is

Don't you get it,dummy?

it'is now 11:31 and 10 seconds

it'is now 11:31 and 20 seconds

it'is now...

No, you made a mistake!

Well, this is the right address

the girl on the phone said

You need 50 lunches and said you're filming a movie here

Does it look to you like we are filming a movie?

Take them away!

Get out of here!

Movies my ass...

Young man, looking for a flat?

Come, I'll let you rent it cheap

No

What do you mean, no? Then what are you here for?

checking the meters?

Fuck, ever since the shoot out

no one wanted to rent this flat

Damn

people even started playing jokes on me

3 fire trucks came last night

said this place is on fire

When will this end, goddamnit!

It's too late

You're the only one that cared

I'm so hurt, so very hurt...

I don't want to live anymore!

I've already taken a bottle of sleeping pills

I am not joking, I don't want to live

There's no sense in living

There's no point

Thank you...Good bye

Hello, give me Dick!

Don't give me shit

If you don't get him

I'll break both your legs!

I don't know what to do anymore

You know, at first

I counted on some writing skills

some real-life experiences

whether they happened to me to my friends

Characters, plots, that I heard about

I jotted them down in my notebook

But it's become so meaningless to write this way:

I feel I've used up of my emotions

My past 30 years

I've used up it all so quickly

Now I only know how to write about things between man and wife

I can't think of anything else

Because my world has become smaller and smaller

Do you undertand?

I don't know how others see your work

When I read your stories

I want to see you

The 'you' in the past

We become youthful again

These things do not fade with time

I've always had faith in you

What are you thinking about?

Nothing

Does Li Jong know about our past?
