Dad,
how are you doing?
Are you okay?
This situation we are in,
it's the opportunity of a lifetime.
The leadership of the Triads has been crushed.
All of the ghosts are dead or arrested,
but their organizations still exist.
Their businesses. Their soldiers. And no one to lead them.
Let's go back to Taiwan,
consolidate all of them.
Everything will be run through the Jade Dragons.
Everyone will work for us.
It will take time and some corpses,
but it will be glorious.
How did it go with your brother?
Was your mother there to watch?
I know it was difficult.
I wanted to kill a son as little as you wanted to kill a brother,
but to protect the family,
it needed to be done.
I couldn't do it.
Dad, what kind of life are we living
if protecting the family means killing my family?
Power is not free.
I don't want to go back to Taiwan.
I want to stay here with Bruce and Mom.
I don't want this life anymore.
But I want your blessing to leave it.
There is only one way out of this life,
and you know that.
You said it yourself,
the Triads as we have known them for centuries are destroyed.
And you are going to rebuild them for yourself.
You get to make the rules now.
If I destroy tradition,
I am no better than the Boxers.
We operate in a world of killers and thieves.
Without tradition to bind us to a code of conduct,
no one would ever be safe.
Who is really safe, Dad?
Who has ever been kept safe by the old ways?
We still kill each other.
Without history and rules, none of it has meaning.
None of it has meaning anyway!
In one day, all of that history was shot to hell.
We aren't an idea.
We are just gangs of men fighting over property.
Better to be a cookie maker?
To bake cakes for children's parties?
Whatever that is.
Better to be my own man.
Whatever I would have been
if you didn't turn me into a killer.
The only thing you are leaving is this country. It's made you soft.
Thank God I sent your mother and brother away.
Who knows what you would have become then?
This place corrupts everyone,
even the strong ones.
It's why I had Xing follow you to see where your mother and brother are.
Things you could not do,
they will do it.
Charles!
Ba Ba.
In Chinese, you call me Ba Ba.
Charles killed her?
Smart.
The only way you will be safe is if I am eliminated.
I assume Charles told you where to find me?
He couldn't come himself?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Sons.
They either disappoint you
or grow too strong and take your place.
I had always thought
Charles would be the usurper.
And you,
the disappointment.
You fucking pull the trigger on me? You fucking stupid motherfucker!
You couldn't even hit me in the heart or head?
Fuck.
- He never listens. - Yo, Charles.
Idiot. Hmm?
Good.
Here to finish the job your cowardly son couldn't?
What are you doing?
Hold on, we can definitely negotiate about it.
Take care,
country boy.
