The Day of Days (Chaw M Kai Si Lok / 初五启市录 / 初五啟市錄)

I do want to be a real Xiguan lady

Unless someone's abusing her power

Since you're so unhappy I won't manage the family business anymore

Something went wrong when the film was being delivered

What?

It's the Tongs' film. It'll benefit us if we get it back for them

Now what?

Where's Lai-wo? Where is he?

Beware of fire and smoke

You still haven't found the film yet?

There are thousands of film rolls here It's like looking for a needle in a haystack

Don't you have records? Look for it according to the records

Uncle Hoi put the records in the drawer I don't have the spare key

We're running out of time

We don't even have the time to hire a locksmith to open it...Master Wo

Yes? What are you doing?

Looking around. There are several movies I haven't seen before

Master Wo, Miss Wun told us to come here to look for the film for the charity premiere

Remembrance of Years Past with Paula as the lead character, right?

It's adapted from a French literary novel

Paula plays the role of a tough but clever young girl

When she went out for fun with her uncle and aunt

She met the male lead character

Hip Wo Hong Centenary Charity Premiere

Sis keeps talking to the MC Something must be wrong

Hip Wo Hong

Miss Wun, I checked

The guys who wanted to snatch the film were some minor hooligans

When did we offend them?

Obviously someone's behind this

Who would that be?

It must be Brother Lung

Last time he wanted more protection fee He couldn't come to terms with you

That's possible. It's not surprising that they'd play tricks

But Cheung Tai has so many members

Why did they ask some minor hooligans to do this?

That's because they didn't want to confront the Tongs directly

So they asked some strangers to do it in case there were be problems

they could claim a clean hand

This is a trick of the underworld

Oh, Miss Wun, someone saw

Wing Cheong Shing's guys there too when the film was being snatched

They seemed to try to help

But in the end the film was inadvertently damaged

by the person in-charge of Wing Cheong Shing

This guy is so clumsy

He tries to win me over me to get our business. But he's a loser

Kau Kee Roadside Food stall

Uncle Kuen, I wouldn't come to bother you so shamelessly if I weren't desperate

I hope you can lend me some money as a contingency measure

Fei, I've heard about your situation But I really can't help you

Hey, Uncle Kuen. What? Stand aside You're turning me down so fast?

You and my dad were buddies

It's different now. Do you know who you've offended? It's Brother Lung

He's already spread the word to wipe you guys out

Whoever helps you will be offending him too

They're now in charge of Guangzhou Us old people don't have a leg to stand on

How would I have the guts to offend him?

Welcome

Beauty Barber Shop

Tung Yan Pawnshop

Excuse me. Advance the horse and check

What are you doing, young man? It's very dangerous. Come down

Stop...Stop...You're caught red-handed Get up. Go to the police station

Go

They're using a car too? Are they that organized?

I want a thorough cut in one go

Don't worry. I've taken your money I'll do a good job

I won't be beaten so easily

Look. It's so shiny

If I can't cut open the watermelon I'm asking for a refund

Hip Wo Hong

Sir, what's the matter?

I need to see Miss Tong for something very important

Have you made an appointment?

I said I have to meet Miss Tong for something very important

Someone will die if I don't see her Is she inside? I'm going in

You can't go in. The Chairlady is out

Never mind me You can't go in

What's the matter?

This gentleman doesn't have an appointment

He wants to force his way into your office to wait for you

Miss Tong, I know you're busy

But I have something very important to talk to you about. I won't take much of your time

I don't have much time I'll give you three minutes

You may begin

Miss Tong, how much do you know about Wing Cheong Shing?

Just shoot

OK. We keep a very low profile

It's not surprising that you've never heard of us

We have an amazing history Do you know of the Red Flower Gang?

Sabre Wong Ng? United League and Revive China Society?

You're a lady

Of course you wouldn't know these organizations and amazing people

Wing Cheong Shing started doing big things generations ago

We overturned Qing and restored Ming We helped Qing against foreigners

Wuchang Uprising, Xinhai Revolution

Our forefathers took part in each and every major event

Don't laugh at this

My great-great-great grandfather founded Wing Cheong Shing

He helped the poor. He had brotherhood I, So Fei, am his successor

I've inherited his spirit to lead the brothers to accomplish big things

I've boosted Wing Cheong Shing's spirit Now we have more and more brothers

What's our strength? It's brotherhood

Talking about brotherhood, it goes back to Guan Yu in the Period of the Three Kingdoms

We worship him...

Time's up. You may leave now

But I haven't finished talking yet

I said I would give you three minutes You failed to make good use of it

Who would really mean it when she says three minutes?

It's just an approximation You don't need to be so serious, do you?

So Wing Cheong Shing is never serious?

I'm a serious person I said I would give you three minutes

I didn't answer the phone or read documents

You failed to make good use of the time I won't work with people who aren't serious

Please leave

Why are you so cold-blooded and ungrateful?

Watch what you say

It's true. On the day of the premiere my brothers helped you get the film back

How are you going to repay us?

First, I didn't ask you to snatch the film Secondly, you damaged it. I couldn't play it

I even had to pay compensation for the film

I haven't asked you to pay me damages yet

Miss Tong...I mean Chairwoman Tong That was just a minor misunderstanding

You Tongs run big businesses It's no big deal to give some business to us

Just give me a chance to prove my competence

I'm sorry, Mr So Three minutes has long past

Talk to you again if there's a chance

But Miss Tong...

Brother Chai, see the guest out

Please

Miss Tong Please

I'll break your arm if you post the repossession order

Beat him Stop it...Stop it

Shrimpy, don't be impulsive

It's a serious offence to attack a government officer. You'll go to jail

Stop it, OK?

Sir, please give us some allowance My son's coming back with money

Fine. I'll give you some more time then

Thank you Thank you

If you still can't pay the tax by 5pm I'm going by the book

What? It's 4 :45pm now. Now what?

We don't even have money to bribe him

Buddha and Guanyin, please make sure Shrimp Head gets the money

I promise I'll never gamble again No, I mean I'll gamble less in future

Lady Boss What?

Shall I cook for tonight?

We're in deep trouble now You still want to cook?

There's one minute left What?

Brother Fei's back

Brother Shrimp Head

How did it go? Boss

Right Did you get the job?

We're doomed We can't keep Wing Cheong Shing

I've given you all the chances I can You can't pay tax, right? Repossess the shop

What?

This place is repossessed by the government You must move out in half a month

If you leave anything behind they will be forfeited to the government

Let's go

Repossession. According to section 39(b) of Cap. 7

the following unit is in breach of the tax license regulations

It is repossessed forthwith until further notice

This is prime bird's nest

Of course. This is Grade A red bird's nest You can't get it all the time

Someone must feel guilty that's why she gave it to us

Dad, what are you suggesting?

You don't understand?

We're family. You can be upfront
