An Abandoned Team (2024) Movie Script
So light, you stole some?
Huh?
Why're you late?
What?
Stop dodging, I saw you
making detours on my phone
Mister, it's like
a maze around here
Be thankful that I made it
But it's so light,
is there a mix-up?
Hey listen up,
or I'll report you
Young people these days...
Can you all stop barking?
Hello everyone
Most elderly are estranged
from their children
They talk less and less,
so the elderly feel abandoned
Stop talking about
their problems altogether
Give us a call if you're in need
Master, can you come with me?
What's the matter?
Just come
- What now?
- Come
Master is here
Congratulations on your retirement,
we bought you a smart phone
We can still call when we need you
Yeah!
I'm retiring
Can't keep cleaning up your mess
You're grown ups
Mr. Chan
We're celebrating master's retirement
I know, I brought this for Kai
I know you all love Kai, so do I
Kai started this job
one day earlier than me
Only I can call him Big Bro
Big Bro
Thank you very much indeed
If you hadn't moved abroad
I'd still be stuck there
I envy you, you can enjoy life now
Wish I were you
I have to stay on here
You guys always call him a chicken
Luckily he's not petty
Piss off
coming next month
Thank for your friend for me
OK bye
I'll leave it for your meal?
Ok, I'll feed you
Night night, see you tomorrow
Una, I came back after school
I didn't see the black and white dog today
My dog food and water was untouched
It didn't come by
I haven't seen it in days
Where could it be?
Try the warehouse perhaps
It goes there sometimes
Wing found the dog
It's injured though
Where is it?
On the hill, come please
Ok I'm coming over, thanks, bye
I'll desinfect it first
Thank you. Bye.
Chun Man, Toby just called
Found an injured dog on the hill
You should go then
I haven't finished the product post
No worries, I'll do it
Is the password on your desk?
Yes, I can work on the bus
It's almost done
Just go, I got it
Keep me posted
Thank you, bye
Sweetie
Mom, you're here again?
Visiting Una?
- You brought soup!
- Hi, Jane
I gotta go take care of something now
I didn't see you...
I'll grab a bowl
I didn't see you for a
week, that's why I came
Are you avoiding me?
Of course not, I really must go
Chun Man
Auntie
I gotta go, bye
Have some soup
Thanks for looking after my daughter
It's those stray dogs again, isn't it
Don't worry, Chun Man is here for her
Chun Man, try some soup, it's healthy
Seriously? Did you steal my food?
I'll hose you down
I'll make a stew out of you
You're scared now?
Scram. Go as far as you can
Scram, damned dog, scram
Stop it!
Calm down mister!
I am calm, the dog isn't
It's pissing everywhere
We're animal care volunteers, let us help
Scram, damn dog
Ok, stay away, don't jump on me
She just wanna be friends
I don't even want human friends
Why would I be friends with dogs?
Moron! Not leaving? I'll beat you
Stop! I'll call the police!
Go on, I know all the police here
I'm filming you
I'll have you arrested
It's dog abuse, mister
What dog?
- I'm calling the police
- Invasion of privacy
You invaded my privacy
Volunteers? More like scammers
Didn't see that dog anywhere
It'll go back to the old man
Don't worry
That's why I'm worried
We worked so hard
But he called us scammers
We gotta save the dog
After taking in Panda "black and white dog"
We're full again
Plus the dogs on the hill and mudflat
You've registered 60 dogs already
Panda needs fixing, jabs
and microchip implant
If it gets caught
It won't be put down immediately
Right
Anyway...
Every life counts
I understand
But you're not Wonder Woman, right?
Damn! Nutmegged?
I would've totally saved it
What? Haven't you heard of "Goalie Kai"?
I made a diving save
For Wu Kwok Hung's penalty shot
Same story again
What a pain in the neck
You're the pain
You're disgusting!
Shui, why's the egg twist soggy?
Not crispy?
Mr. Yam, the old cook "checked out"
New cook is good enough
Checked out? Where to? I'll find him
Checked out of the world, to heaven
I'll find him, nothing's good anymore
Tepid water, stale tea
Horrible dumplings, cold buns
Vulgar customers, and the tea isn't free
"Best Wishes to My Beloved Daughter,
Zoie, and her Family"
Sweetie, so... dad has just retired
I got a $400,000 pension
Wrote you a cheque, go cash it
That's all
Help! Help me!
Thirteen, twelve, eleven
Ten, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four, three
Two, one, Daddy Astronaut,
I'm coming to get you
Over, over, do you like the moon?
Over, over! It's so pretty!
Well done! Great job...
Mister... you ok?
Is Chun-Kai Yam's family here?
Yes
Stay with him, we'll move him to the ward
Why did you call me?
Were you really hiking?
Was Kathy asking for me?
In your nice shirt and trousers?
Just answer me first
Is the voice message your last words?
Why do you always answer
With a question?
Because we have too many problems...
The cheque
What?
What's my English name?
ZOE
You missed an "I"
I'll write a new one
No need, you think I'll take it?
Is it a compensation?
I'll write my will
It's my money to give
Whatever
Your ID card, I took it for registration
Hello
Hello, I'm an animal care volunteer
You father fainted on the hill
So I sent him to the hospital
Thank you
It's for you. If it weren't for something
You think I would call?
Easy there
Let me put a collar on you
You again! These are new clothes
Stay away
Take him with you
Be nice, she saved your life
That's not true
I got hurt because she jumped on me
You'd have died if she hadn't come to me
It thought it killed me
And would be put down, so it went to you
It's just saving itself
Dogs don't think like this
You're nuts, dogs don't think
Do you?
Just eat, shit then you're happy
She likes you, would
you consider adopting her?
I'd rather get a cuter dog
Look at it, so ugly! Look!
Put on the leash then give her to me
Why should I?
You can save her life
If you can't be her owner, at least be kind
Like this?
Thank you
Take it with you
Just a second dear, food's coming
Chun Man!
What's going on?
Follow them!
Go closer! Stop, doggy!
Watch out!
Nearly hit on it
Be careful
Almost got her
Keep going! More! Stop!
Whose dog is it? It's gonna get run over!
Slow down!
Go, go back
What are you staring at?
But I have a ticket
I'm just a bit late, please let me in
I understand, but there's
a performance ongoing
My daughter didn't pick up my call
What now?
She won't pick up
Phone use is forbidden inside
You're messing with me!
I have a ticket!
My granddaughter will be on stage next
Mister
- Why didn't you pick up?
- Why are you so late?
She's here now
I'm so sorry
The next performer will be Kathy Wilson
She will be playing The Poor Orphan
My granddaughter
Brilliant!
That's the end of the performances
Parents can come onstage for photos now
My god sweetie, you did so well
Give me a hug!
And up we go
Look at the camera
We are so proud of you,
you did an amazing job
Thanks
Honey, what do you think?
Did the dog get thrown out by its owner?
So it kept following the van?
She loves the old guy on the van
But he wouldn't adopt her
You wanna keep her?
Yup, the dog's so friendly
Must've been a pet before
Should be easy to find a new owner
Una, I'm not trying to stop you
What if it has heartworms
Treatment costs a lot
Una,
I'm not trying to stop you
It's fine... just thought I found the dog
Hey, it's alright
We'll find it together, ok?
Let's go.
Dammit, you again, stay away
What's up?
Serves you right, nobody wants you
What are you looking at? Hungry?
Take it!
Why did you save me? Why?
I was just scaring my daughter
Nosy dog
Go stuff yourself
I'll see you and raise you... you're dead!
Almost forgot you, let me see
Damn! What the hell!
You always think you're gonna win
But you never do
Who's a good boy? Sit
Panda... welcome back
I'll come feed you every day
Just a minute
They're starving
Right
Add some chicken
Come here
Who's hungry? Go
Here, buddies
Over here... who's hungry?
Pei-pei, sit, good boy
Bao! Where are you? Bao!
Toby
What's up?
Don't let the dogs come here
Someone wanna poison them
Ok, stay here
Look
There's poison inside
I've sent the photo to the group
We need to check other feeding points
You!
So rude!
My name is Kai!
What is that?
Not your business
Did you poison the dogs?
I didn't... that's mine!
That's mine!
I'm sorry
All good... all good
Thank you
You thought it's poison
No no no...
No?
Want some?
Try it
You're scared?
No no...
So good
Am I dead yet? Am I?
Poison? This is expensive
roasted pork belly
The dogs are crazy about it
You shouldn't feed them
It's bad for their health
She has a point too
Thank you
I won't feed the dogs,
am I allowed to finish it?
Of course
Not really
You're old, miss the hospital?
Thank you so much, have a great day
You're friends with the dog
Shut up!
Bring it to our shelter next time
Shut up!
Sorry...
You may be good with dogs
But you're shit with people
- Total failure,
- So sorry...
you have a lot to learn
Educate your friend
I will...
Moron
Geezer
I was looking for you, what now?
I don't have time to play
Just this one time
Should I throw it?
Good dog
So you like playing?
One last go, then let's eat pork belly
Oops
Hey... don't mess with my bedroom
You thief, come down
Scram! I'll call animal
control to catch you!
You're finished!
Stop it!
You're crawled with fleas!
Where're you going?
Ungrateful bastard!
We received complaint on stray dog nuisance
You've mistaken, I'm the dog's owner
We found its microchip
Animal control will contact you duely
Don't worry, they said they'll contact you
If the previous owner doesn't show up
They'll put her down, she'll be killed
You're overreacting
If the owner doesn't show up,
you can be the new owner
Wait up, don't walk too fast
Day four in centre, no adopter
I scolded her yesterday
Didn't expect her to walk out on me
Now you know why I was so insistent
One wrong step could cost a life
I'll adopt her, once we get her out of here
I'm tired of such speech
Will you treat her like
your wife or daughter?
I'll treat her like...
a dog
You're not the registered owner, miss
Its name is Roasted
Piggy, we'll contact its owner
To take it home
Otherwise, we'll evaluate its suitability
For adoption
If it's deemed unsuitable,
we'll put it down
In accordance to procedures
Don't put it down, sir
I'll teach you...
Put my name on the microchip instead
Can we have the owner's information?
Just to make sure he'll come
We cannot divulge
personal information to you
These dogs only matter to you dog lovers
We "take care of" five or six
thousand animals yearly
"Ying Do Rotisserie"
I see, thank you
Chef Shek, you have visitors
What? Damn
Chef Shek, please save Roasted Piggy
What?
Roasted Piggy
Get it in the shop
No... I mean your dog, Roasted Piggy
Let's ask animal
servive to deflea her first
Before taking her home
Chef Shek
You're still here?
Chef Shek, sorry for
the trouble, please help
I gotta work every day
I understand, we just need two hours
If I don't get paid, are you gonna pay me?
Yes, if you save Roasted Piggy
I'll pay triple
Just sign the surrender form
Roasted Piggy will live, I'll do the rest
I don't wanna see it
Fortune teller said it brought bad luck,
I'm kind enough
To set it free
Set it free? More like let her die
Missy, I set it free...
Chef Shek, your dog
still loves eating pork belly
I'm sure it misses you
I promise, I'll care for her like a human
Think about it please
Please help
Just go, weirdos
New owner's ID please
Sorry
Take this one please
Ok
Roasted Piggy...
Everything's ok now... come
You lost weight, poor thing
Let's have a big feast tonight
Your ID
Thank you
Look, she lost weight
No papers to sign?
No, I've registered myself as the owner
Wait, are you a hoarder?
You have so many dogs already
Can't you share one with me?
First, I'm not a hoarder
Second, I don't trust you yet
Third, I always assess new adopters
I'm very fair
Let's go, come on
Catch it
What is it?
Put it on, helps you heal
See you at the shelter 3:30pm tomorrow
Come on
Kai... Kai...
What?
Dog training
Lock the gate
It's pretty nice here, just a bit smelly
Come on
Damn... dog poo
Help me out
Take the broom
Thanks
Gotta clean the whole place
That's beginner's training?
Dammit
The shit just won't go away
Suture
Do you have the dogs' consent
before neutering them?
Normal
If you're a stray, do you consent to
Living in fear and hunger all your life?
We're picking up slacks
for irresponsible owners
You're her owner
Take care of her till the end
Kai... Kai...
We gotta go to the hill,
can you go to Warm Home?
Sure
Long's waiting for you
They're just dogs, why the fuss?
Old dogs can't chew, just like you
I left food at the hut,
you guys can go elsewhere
This colour is nice, can I take it?
Ok
Thank you
Why's there a bear?
Another emigration
Over here
Toby, someone left an Alaskan Malamute
Outside the shelter
I'll bring it for check up tomorrow?
Life is harsh, people
abandon their families
Let alone pets, don't be so naive
The dogs will change your mind
They all depend on you
How could you walk away?
Keeping a dog is not
easy, I'm still learning
Remember what we taught you?
Of course
If you're nice to Roasted Piggy,
she'll be grateful to you
Ain't I nice to you?
Let's split the pork belly... give paw
If you're bad to Roasted Piggy,
I'll make you suffer
She'll make me suffer
Wait a second
I made this
Good girl
Let's go home
Lunchtime
Lunchtime...
Lunchtime...
Come with me... Roasted Piggy
There're so many
Every life counts
Thirsty? Water, please
I'll publish a post tomorrow
To call for dog food donation
Were you like them before?
You came down the hill today
Hi, are you animal care volunteers?
We're cleaning the beach and found these
Are they poisonous bait?
Hey, dad! Dad!
It's me. It's us.
We're here, OMG, small world.
We'll come to you.
Is it your dog? Can I touch it?
What is its name?
Panda
Let us know if you find more evidence
Thank you, madam
Thank you
No worries
Let's go
Let's go, Roasted Piggy
Hey dad! Give me some hug
What the...
Handshake
We're not close... stay away
It's all good.
My son-in-law, Sum
Hi, Sum
His name is Sean
Doesn't matter
He'll smile whatever I call him
Peter
Right?
We'll carry on, nice meeting you
Wait, this is my daughter, Zoie
Una
Hello
By the way, I'm
discharged from the hospital
I've been volunteering with
Roasted Piggy every day
Don't worry about me
Good for you
Yes, yes
Oh, the pension money
Since nobody wants
it, it'll go to Warm Home
Every penny
You still need training though
You know?
He's hosing down Roasted
Piggy the first time we met
I was shocked
So... this volunteer is
a danger to the animals
Yup, he still needs to learn
There's poison here, let's go
Did he boss you around?
He bosses everyone around...
Grumping about everything
My dad used to hate dogs
What've you done to him
Nothing... it's Roasted Piggy,
they have a connection
Have you heard
Dogs will save their owners in crisis
I guess so... you mean...
Roasted Piggy has saved dad?
Yes... Roasted Piggy saved him that time
It's funny, when I was in high school,
I really wanted a dog
Did you get one?
Of course not
I didn't know why
He just got really mad and cursed at me
He curses all the time,
the entire village knows
Always repeats himself
Like when he saved Wu
Kwok Hung's penalty shot
He love picking fights with people
Don't worry, he volunteers with us now
I'll rein him in
Don't waste your time
Focus on the dogs
You hungry? Yeah?
I checked the tin hut, all good, no poison
Poor thing, she's famished
Why don't you just let
the police investigate?
We've learned by experience,
if there's no evidence
Even if they catch the suspect
They can't charge him,
we must stay vigilant
I got something for you
You ate everything
What is it?
GPS tracker, attachable to collar
Put it on Roasted Piggy
So you won't lose her
Global positioning
Global positioning, wow
I'll install the app on your phone
Put it on her collar
There
Let me put this on you...
Done
Ok
Try it
Like this?
Over... Over
Can you hear me?
Of course she can
Try it over there
That's true... stay...
Here?
Further
Here?
Ok
Over... Over
Dad is in Saikung
She heard me, she's looking for me, so cool
I'll turn it off
You should talk to your daughter too
It's too late now, she'll just ignore me
Try listening to her
Don't just keep grumbling
Alright alright
It's pointless to tell you
Let's call it a day
Let's play with the tracker
It won't be this easy next time
Yeah whatever
Let's go, Roasted Piggy
Come here... hungry after the big poop?
Sit... good girl
I got stuff to do
Like... Does it have to be tomorrow?
I'll get some water
It was my dad on the phone
He needs me in Edinburgh tomorrow for work
Ok
You know I can't say no to my dad
I know, your job is important
I'm sorry, I know you've put so much work
To set up Bambi's trap
How about postponing it?
It's ok, I'll figure it out myself
But keep your promise next time
Bambi is impossible to capture
Kai, if the dog enters the cage
I'll get in first
Hand me the foldable cage at the gate
What the heck is this?
You made it? Awesome
And now?
Should i get in?
No, put the cage aside first
That's clever, smells wonderful
We'll wait up there
Where?
There
You pushed this huge one...
Shh... be quiet
Isn't it a bit much
It's just a dog
It's hard to catch, we
failed many times before
Then don't catch it
It's here?
Bring the cage...
what?
The one you carried
Easy... easy...
Cage's here
It's so ferocious
It's ok... it's been beaten before,
so it's scared of people
Trust me, leave the cage
It's gonna bite, that's bad...
Don't come in
I got nutmegged
How's your hand?
It's fine, just a scratch
You'll need tetanus shot
When are you coming home?
Huh?
Tetanus shot
No need, I just disinfected it
- Is Chun Man there?
- Gotta take care of yourself...
I'll bring you to the doctor
I have discounts
Hello?
Can you ask Chun Man
For the qigong seminar tickets
Bring them home tonight
What tickets?
I didn't wanna bother you
There's a qigong master visiting Hong Kong
Chun Man helped me grab the tickets
Stop making him work for you
Just my future son-in-law
Running a small errand for
his future mother-in-law
Just stop bothering him
Do I have a choice?
Haven't seen you in a month
Who can help me when my shoulders hurt?
Anyway, gotta go
Made an appointment, 3:30pm tomorrow
I'll go with you
Ok, thanks
Go home now
Thank you
- You ok?
- Yeah
You're doing too much,
look how bad you're hurt
It's nothing this time, look
This is from Pei-pei,
he has a new owner now
This is from Optimus
Prime, he was in the hospital
He's waiting for adoption now
I'm not trying to pry
But maybe you're sick, with OCD
You know?
I'll find you a doctor
I know many shrinks
No need, I'm fine
Fine? Roll up your sleeve, let me see
Another scar... did you
get bitten by a bear?
No... this one...
Was from a fight with my mom when I was 16
I was furious, almost
jumped out of the window
Got scraped by the grille
when mom pulled me in
Has the window grille been fixed?
Don't know, haven't been back for a while
Where're you staying then?
Great... chicken leg
Wait
Why took it away?
Too oily
Am I only allowed to eat these?
And these
The soup is good... nourishing
I learned cooking since I was very young
Had to rely on myself,
gotta know how to cook
You should thank your mom
Thank her? She wants
me to shut down this place
Don't listen to her on this matter
I finally found my interest
Roasted Piggy has so many friends here too
Don't fold it
Actually, if you speak nicely
Your relationship with your
daughter will be better
Is that so? It's fate...
Roasted Piggy...
Why is it here?
Was it you? You did it?
I thought I did everything for my family
But no one appreciated it
Why is your daughter mad at you?
Things are complicated in grown-ups' world,
it's not black and white
Anyway, I'm destined to be alone
Not alone, you have Roasted Piggy
And Warm Home
Warm Home needs you too
I don't need this dog's lair
Really? Stop eating my food
Come on, wouldn't hurt to share
Come on
Ok, but you need to stop
thinking about giving up
Giving up on what?
Just giving up
Don't be silly, I just slipped
It's her fault, she jumped up on me
How about this? The nutmeg?
It was you, I haven't scolded you yet
This tea house is amazing,
customers are friendly too
She's a great dog
Mr. Yam, I have something for you
Really? What's that?
- For me?
- Yes
"Egg Twist Recipe"
"Be back next Wednesday,
can't wait to see you"
Ever consider sterilising your dog?
I'm not sure about that
It's good for the dog,
there'll be less strays too
Dogs stop guarding once they're sterilised
That's not true
Ok... I'll think about it
Thank you
Roasted Piggy! Naughty girl
- Roasted Piggy
- Come back!
Good girl
Are you hungry?
She smiled... but I'm blurred
Grandpa, it's your birthday next week,
let's have a celebration
That's a deal... I'll make you egg twists
We call on all dog owners to be vigilant
Many volunteers have reported to the police
Hope it could stop him
Whatever your reasons are
You have no rights to kill the dogs
Good morning
Thanks for coming
Just wanna see what I can help
Let me brief you on the situation
Hello, if you find Spam on the ground
Inform us at once
Please help
Hello, if you find Spam on the ground
Inform us at once
Please help
Told you not to come here!
You lied to me, why don't you listen
I didn't lie,
volunteering is my extracurricular activity
It's not our business,
stray dogs dying's no big deal
How could you say it's no big deal?
They guard our village from thieves
They're helping you
You...
Mrs. Mak, if Long lost his life
How would you feel?
You're so mean! How dare you!
Fine, join their gang
We're mean, but not as mean as you!
You just showed your son
He'll do the same to you
Mrs. Mak, Long is a kind boy
Just like you, I believe
Believe in your son
You're not coming with me?
I'd better go now
Take care...
Ok
Zoie
Can you hand out these flyers?
To remind villagers to watch out for poison
Let's put the posters up
Hand out the flyers over there
Distribute it at the exit
Young man, do you
have dogs? Please help out
Take one please
We found poison-stuffed Spam lately
Inform us if you find any
Keep an eye out
My knees hurt, I gotta sit down
Time to take meds, Kai
Zoie, we can wrap up for today
Thanks a lot
It's nothing
Your work is tough, gotta care for the dogs
Plus handling the villagers
Dogs are easy
Villagers like your dad can be a pain
He's so stubborn
I think you two are great partners
He has changed indeed
At least he stopped giving
pork belly to Roasted Piggy
You just met him
Is it so hard
To be less mean and harsh on your family?
Gotta pick up my daughter
Call me if you need help
Sure, thank you
Bye
"Best Wishes to My Beloved Daughter,
Zoie, and her Family"
If I move abroad now
Forget about promotion
I'll be jobless, don't be silly
Sure, let's drop it then
Zoie, let's go play, just you and me
I kept you here because
there's poison out there
Do you remember?
When I first started Warm Home
Everyone was against me
Luckily I have you to stay with me,
listen to me every night
No matter how frustrated I was
You gave me the strength to carry on
Mom said I was too kind to animals
But I'm the one who gained the most
Since I adopted you
Do you always talk to dogs?
It's nice to share
When you're happy
Or sad, even when you question your life
You do make me question my life
Let's go, Roasted Piggy
Kai
Don't keep everything to yourself
Have you ever questioned your life?
I did, really couldn't handle it
Doctor said I had a Mood Disorder,
do you know what is Mood Disorder?
I always brag about my goalkeeping
But these calluses aren't from goalkeeping
I thought I could keep my family
together by working aboard
Whom could I talk to?
Then Zoie wanted a bloody dog
My relationship with her kept getting worse
What could I do?
You understand me?
But so what, she doesn't understand
Namaste
Namaste
Straighten your leg
Left leg first... your leg is too long
It's great... that Chun
Man's coming back tomorrow
We're so exhausted without him
You miss him?
Of course, I'm so tired
Go to the dinner for me
You're nuts
You'll wear a dress?
What's wrong with that?
Haven't seen you in a
dress in the past five years
He said he had something
important to tell me...
Don't say anything... just say...
I do
That'll do
Let's see what he says
Hi, it's Mr. Lam, for two
Please wait
He's here already, this way please
Una
There's something I need to tell you
Dad has lined up an agent in Edinburgh
We've decided to relocate the company there
I'd like to move there with you
To start a new life
We can get married there
So this dinner is about
moving to Edinburgh?
I know it's a lot to take in
But don't worry, I have families there
I took care of everything already
Took care of what?
Warm Home means the world to you
The fosterers can keep the dogs first
Before finding adopters
It's not gonna work
Many dogs are so old
No one will adopt them
I must stay to take care of them
I know, but dad really
wants us to move there
The demand
For healthcare products
is really high there
Think about it
The timing is perfect for our career
I don't care about career
Ok... ok... no career
You can still help stray dogs there
You can become a breeder
They're very systematised,
it'll be great for you
What about the strays
on the hill and mudflat?
I got them covered, look
I found two shelters that can help
I told you already, no takeover
I don't trust others
What do you want then?
I've done everything I could
Apart from the animals
Can you care for me too?
I care for you of course, don't 1?
But I can't leave
The animals need me, do you understand?
My prayer has been answered!
I heard the rich boy is leaving
That stupid animal shelter
won't renew their lease
Thank goodness
Shush
Yes the pee smells disgusting
Especially on sunny days...
Hi, Shui, Mrs. Mak, please help
Remove any poisonous bait you see
Around Ma Po Toi Village
There's been lots of poisonous Spam
It's getting worse
It's so good
I'm glad you like it
I'll get the message
Turn left at the crossroad
By the way
I've passed probation at
Warm Home a while ago
When can I be an official staff?
You have your own plans
Will you give up Warm Home?
Of course not, I worked so hard for it
How could I
That's good to know...
This lonely old man
Still has this Warm Home
Chun Man asked me to
move to Edinburgh with him
I see
You're the boss, keep it for yourself
It's Kai's birthday, so at the dinner
There'll be his daughter,
son-in-law, and granddaughter
They seldom eat together
Let's help them ease things up
That's it?
What about us?
I figured out, we can
bring ten dogs with us
I'm not forcing you,
but I'm looking for a farm
To build their new home
Let's have dinner first
Then we'll talk, ok?
Why are you hesitating?
I know you've done a lot for me
But moving abroad is a big decision,
I need to think it through
Ok
Keep going...
Dad, come join us
Barbecue with us, it's fun
Sweetie, you want to try fish balls?
Do you want some of these?
She's busy playing with Pork Belly
Brush some honey, it's getting burnt
All over it, you missed that part
That's the best juiciest part
- So"?
- Perfect
Took me all day, give it to your boyfriend
Have a try
Egg twists, took me all day to make
The small one, just one bite
Say thank you
Thank you
Is it good... wanna try?
Oh, let me try that
So good
It's really good, dad
You used to like it
Doesn't mean that I still do
Honey, you gotta get the recipe for this
This is amazing.
Let's try some too
No thanks
Kai spent a lot of effort, try some
You know I don't eat sweets
Oh my god, it's so good
Don't eat then
No need to force yourselves
Bin it
Kai
Don't force him
Grandpa is not in a good mood
Can't force someone to like it
I'm sorry, can't help you
As you can see, bad timing
Chun Man's a good man
Safe trip
What safe trip
I never said I'd leave
What did you tell Kai?
Yes, I asked Kai to persuade you
Because you never wanna talk about it
It's our business
Nothing to do with others
I'm sorry, didn't mean to ruin the night
I'm really sorry
Honey, can you please take
Kathy to the car first
Are you sure?
I can handle it
Come here sweetie
Bye dad
I'll clean up, no need to help
We'll move back to Montreal next month
Go on then, don't keep them waiting
Nothing to say to me?
Say what?
Just go, or else if they blame you
You'll blame it on me
You don't wish me a safe trip?
Which one is your daughter really?
Why am I always irrelevant to you?
Safe trip
Safe trip
Enough? One more, safe trip
Mom's right, that's who you are
So selfish
Stop insulting me with your mom
Apart from a mother
You have a father too
I worked my ass off to raise you
Is providing money
A father's only duty?
That's just sponsorship
All the parent's meetings... sports days
Did you ever come even once?
Did you care about my grades?
Did you even know?
I remember one winter, it was freezing cold
The heater broke down,
mom and I kept crying
We were so scared
There were some thugs outside
I kept asking mom
Where's daddy? Where's daddy?
Where were you?
Where the hell were you?
At the doctor's...
Did you know what your mom did to me?
I knew, I couldn't control whom she liked
At least she didn't abandon me. You?
What did you do to us?
So you think your mom's always right?
I thought when you grew
up, became a mother...
You'd see what's right and what's wrong
Exactly, now I finally see what
kind of person you are
All you do is running away
From mom, and from me too
You left us in Montreal
Did you know how much I missed you?
You're wrong, I didn't run away
I bought a ticket
I was going on the plane... I...
And then
I didn't see you
Not even at mom's funeral
Why? I wanna know all these years
Tell me now, why!
Just drop it
You wouldn't try to understand anyway
Stop talking about your mom
She's passed
Let's drop it, ok?
Sure, let's drop it
Take it to our graves
And the problem
between us, let's bury it too
Moon landing mission commander
Calling lunar beauty... Zoie Yam
Hello... daddy
Don't be stubborn, I'm fine now
I bought the ticket already
Don't come
I was really disappointed in you
Doubted if you really loved me
Kai, let's live our lives separately
Don't dwell on the past
Call Zoie more often... ok?
I will
Sorry
Don't forget to call
Thanks for everything all these years
Safe trip
I respect your decision
Una, If you need me
Just know that I'll be there
"Volunteer A: something came up,
can anyone take my shift tonight?"
"Una: I'm sorry, working late tonight"
Has Chili been good today?
Yeah, he missed you
- Thank you
- See you, bye
"Kai Home"
Roasted Piggy, we'll
patrol the hill tomorrow
Get some rest now
"Found poisonous bait at pavilion"
"Also at town hall too"
"Help! Many dogs were poisoned at mudflat"
Come
Roasted Piggy, it's dangerous, stay close
Stop! Roasted Piggy! It's dangerous!
Bring towels, push carts, cages
Stay if you have first aid kit,
for dogs without seizure
Induce vomiting with baking soda
Get the stuff!
Toby, emergency at mudflat
Send cars
Ask which clinics have vacancies
Take as many spots as you can
Towels...
Haul the dogs!
Towels please
Move this dog first
Come back for other dogs
Any water?
Towels! Towels here
Panda... hang in there
Can someone help us?
Let mommy help!
One, two, three!
Anyone has water?
I'll take over, buddy
It's ok, mommy's here
Roasted Piggy!
It's ok...
It's ok... are you hurt?
It's ok
Move this one first
There are more
Make sure we don't miss anything
Be careful
Sixty dogs were killed by poison
At Sai Kung's Ma Po Toi Village today
A middle aged man has been arrested
Claiming he poisoned stray dogs
Since they're nuisance to his land
A dog owner was stabbed
as the defendant fled
Panda, hope you'd find happiness
In dog's heaven
Does it still hurt, dad?
You're so brave
Daddy, come here, there's something weird
Ok, sweetie, coming
Mommy, it looks like
there's a walkie-talkie
Hello, is anybody there?
Hello?
Is someone there? Over
Hello, hello, Kathy
Hello, daddy?
Great
Why are we organising
This first aid course today?
As we've discovered poisonous
bait in various villages
So we hope this course
Could inform the public
If your dog eats something poisonous
What should you do
So... is Warm Home closing?
Yes
It's ok, Warm Home's closed
Kai Home will open, I'll take over
Did you hear it? What's that?
Hold it
Stay there, good girl, let me have a look
What's that?
Una
Look, so cute
Poor thing... stop it, you're quitting
Don't bother with them
Let's go, puppies
You don't know anything
Let me check on them
So?
Should be fine
That's great, let's go home now
Kai...
I forgot who told me
She said "every dog counts"
It's "every life counts"
Huh?
Why're you late?
What?
Stop dodging, I saw you
making detours on my phone
Mister, it's like
a maze around here
Be thankful that I made it
But it's so light,
is there a mix-up?
Hey listen up,
or I'll report you
Young people these days...
Can you all stop barking?
Hello everyone
Most elderly are estranged
from their children
They talk less and less,
so the elderly feel abandoned
Stop talking about
their problems altogether
Give us a call if you're in need
Master, can you come with me?
What's the matter?
Just come
- What now?
- Come
Master is here
Congratulations on your retirement,
we bought you a smart phone
We can still call when we need you
Yeah!
I'm retiring
Can't keep cleaning up your mess
You're grown ups
Mr. Chan
We're celebrating master's retirement
I know, I brought this for Kai
I know you all love Kai, so do I
Kai started this job
one day earlier than me
Only I can call him Big Bro
Big Bro
Thank you very much indeed
If you hadn't moved abroad
I'd still be stuck there
I envy you, you can enjoy life now
Wish I were you
I have to stay on here
You guys always call him a chicken
Luckily he's not petty
Piss off
coming next month
Thank for your friend for me
OK bye
I'll leave it for your meal?
Ok, I'll feed you
Night night, see you tomorrow
Una, I came back after school
I didn't see the black and white dog today
My dog food and water was untouched
It didn't come by
I haven't seen it in days
Where could it be?
Try the warehouse perhaps
It goes there sometimes
Wing found the dog
It's injured though
Where is it?
On the hill, come please
Ok I'm coming over, thanks, bye
I'll desinfect it first
Thank you. Bye.
Chun Man, Toby just called
Found an injured dog on the hill
You should go then
I haven't finished the product post
No worries, I'll do it
Is the password on your desk?
Yes, I can work on the bus
It's almost done
Just go, I got it
Keep me posted
Thank you, bye
Sweetie
Mom, you're here again?
Visiting Una?
- You brought soup!
- Hi, Jane
I gotta go take care of something now
I didn't see you...
I'll grab a bowl
I didn't see you for a
week, that's why I came
Are you avoiding me?
Of course not, I really must go
Chun Man
Auntie
I gotta go, bye
Have some soup
Thanks for looking after my daughter
It's those stray dogs again, isn't it
Don't worry, Chun Man is here for her
Chun Man, try some soup, it's healthy
Seriously? Did you steal my food?
I'll hose you down
I'll make a stew out of you
You're scared now?
Scram. Go as far as you can
Scram, damned dog, scram
Stop it!
Calm down mister!
I am calm, the dog isn't
It's pissing everywhere
We're animal care volunteers, let us help
Scram, damn dog
Ok, stay away, don't jump on me
She just wanna be friends
I don't even want human friends
Why would I be friends with dogs?
Moron! Not leaving? I'll beat you
Stop! I'll call the police!
Go on, I know all the police here
I'm filming you
I'll have you arrested
It's dog abuse, mister
What dog?
- I'm calling the police
- Invasion of privacy
You invaded my privacy
Volunteers? More like scammers
Didn't see that dog anywhere
It'll go back to the old man
Don't worry
That's why I'm worried
We worked so hard
But he called us scammers
We gotta save the dog
After taking in Panda "black and white dog"
We're full again
Plus the dogs on the hill and mudflat
You've registered 60 dogs already
Panda needs fixing, jabs
and microchip implant
If it gets caught
It won't be put down immediately
Right
Anyway...
Every life counts
I understand
But you're not Wonder Woman, right?
Damn! Nutmegged?
I would've totally saved it
What? Haven't you heard of "Goalie Kai"?
I made a diving save
For Wu Kwok Hung's penalty shot
Same story again
What a pain in the neck
You're the pain
You're disgusting!
Shui, why's the egg twist soggy?
Not crispy?
Mr. Yam, the old cook "checked out"
New cook is good enough
Checked out? Where to? I'll find him
Checked out of the world, to heaven
I'll find him, nothing's good anymore
Tepid water, stale tea
Horrible dumplings, cold buns
Vulgar customers, and the tea isn't free
"Best Wishes to My Beloved Daughter,
Zoie, and her Family"
Sweetie, so... dad has just retired
I got a $400,000 pension
Wrote you a cheque, go cash it
That's all
Help! Help me!
Thirteen, twelve, eleven
Ten, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four, three
Two, one, Daddy Astronaut,
I'm coming to get you
Over, over, do you like the moon?
Over, over! It's so pretty!
Well done! Great job...
Mister... you ok?
Is Chun-Kai Yam's family here?
Yes
Stay with him, we'll move him to the ward
Why did you call me?
Were you really hiking?
Was Kathy asking for me?
In your nice shirt and trousers?
Just answer me first
Is the voice message your last words?
Why do you always answer
With a question?
Because we have too many problems...
The cheque
What?
What's my English name?
ZOE
You missed an "I"
I'll write a new one
No need, you think I'll take it?
Is it a compensation?
I'll write my will
It's my money to give
Whatever
Your ID card, I took it for registration
Hello
Hello, I'm an animal care volunteer
You father fainted on the hill
So I sent him to the hospital
Thank you
It's for you. If it weren't for something
You think I would call?
Easy there
Let me put a collar on you
You again! These are new clothes
Stay away
Take him with you
Be nice, she saved your life
That's not true
I got hurt because she jumped on me
You'd have died if she hadn't come to me
It thought it killed me
And would be put down, so it went to you
It's just saving itself
Dogs don't think like this
You're nuts, dogs don't think
Do you?
Just eat, shit then you're happy
She likes you, would
you consider adopting her?
I'd rather get a cuter dog
Look at it, so ugly! Look!
Put on the leash then give her to me
Why should I?
You can save her life
If you can't be her owner, at least be kind
Like this?
Thank you
Take it with you
Just a second dear, food's coming
Chun Man!
What's going on?
Follow them!
Go closer! Stop, doggy!
Watch out!
Nearly hit on it
Be careful
Almost got her
Keep going! More! Stop!
Whose dog is it? It's gonna get run over!
Slow down!
Go, go back
What are you staring at?
But I have a ticket
I'm just a bit late, please let me in
I understand, but there's
a performance ongoing
My daughter didn't pick up my call
What now?
She won't pick up
Phone use is forbidden inside
You're messing with me!
I have a ticket!
My granddaughter will be on stage next
Mister
- Why didn't you pick up?
- Why are you so late?
She's here now
I'm so sorry
The next performer will be Kathy Wilson
She will be playing The Poor Orphan
My granddaughter
Brilliant!
That's the end of the performances
Parents can come onstage for photos now
My god sweetie, you did so well
Give me a hug!
And up we go
Look at the camera
We are so proud of you,
you did an amazing job
Thanks
Honey, what do you think?
Did the dog get thrown out by its owner?
So it kept following the van?
She loves the old guy on the van
But he wouldn't adopt her
You wanna keep her?
Yup, the dog's so friendly
Must've been a pet before
Should be easy to find a new owner
Una, I'm not trying to stop you
What if it has heartworms
Treatment costs a lot
Una,
I'm not trying to stop you
It's fine... just thought I found the dog
Hey, it's alright
We'll find it together, ok?
Let's go.
Dammit, you again, stay away
What's up?
Serves you right, nobody wants you
What are you looking at? Hungry?
Take it!
Why did you save me? Why?
I was just scaring my daughter
Nosy dog
Go stuff yourself
I'll see you and raise you... you're dead!
Almost forgot you, let me see
Damn! What the hell!
You always think you're gonna win
But you never do
Who's a good boy? Sit
Panda... welcome back
I'll come feed you every day
Just a minute
They're starving
Right
Add some chicken
Come here
Who's hungry? Go
Here, buddies
Over here... who's hungry?
Pei-pei, sit, good boy
Bao! Where are you? Bao!
Toby
What's up?
Don't let the dogs come here
Someone wanna poison them
Ok, stay here
Look
There's poison inside
I've sent the photo to the group
We need to check other feeding points
You!
So rude!
My name is Kai!
What is that?
Not your business
Did you poison the dogs?
I didn't... that's mine!
That's mine!
I'm sorry
All good... all good
Thank you
You thought it's poison
No no no...
No?
Want some?
Try it
You're scared?
No no...
So good
Am I dead yet? Am I?
Poison? This is expensive
roasted pork belly
The dogs are crazy about it
You shouldn't feed them
It's bad for their health
She has a point too
Thank you
I won't feed the dogs,
am I allowed to finish it?
Of course
Not really
You're old, miss the hospital?
Thank you so much, have a great day
You're friends with the dog
Shut up!
Bring it to our shelter next time
Shut up!
Sorry...
You may be good with dogs
But you're shit with people
- Total failure,
- So sorry...
you have a lot to learn
Educate your friend
I will...
Moron
Geezer
I was looking for you, what now?
I don't have time to play
Just this one time
Should I throw it?
Good dog
So you like playing?
One last go, then let's eat pork belly
Oops
Hey... don't mess with my bedroom
You thief, come down
Scram! I'll call animal
control to catch you!
You're finished!
Stop it!
You're crawled with fleas!
Where're you going?
Ungrateful bastard!
We received complaint on stray dog nuisance
You've mistaken, I'm the dog's owner
We found its microchip
Animal control will contact you duely
Don't worry, they said they'll contact you
If the previous owner doesn't show up
They'll put her down, she'll be killed
You're overreacting
If the owner doesn't show up,
you can be the new owner
Wait up, don't walk too fast
Day four in centre, no adopter
I scolded her yesterday
Didn't expect her to walk out on me
Now you know why I was so insistent
One wrong step could cost a life
I'll adopt her, once we get her out of here
I'm tired of such speech
Will you treat her like
your wife or daughter?
I'll treat her like...
a dog
You're not the registered owner, miss
Its name is Roasted
Piggy, we'll contact its owner
To take it home
Otherwise, we'll evaluate its suitability
For adoption
If it's deemed unsuitable,
we'll put it down
In accordance to procedures
Don't put it down, sir
I'll teach you...
Put my name on the microchip instead
Can we have the owner's information?
Just to make sure he'll come
We cannot divulge
personal information to you
These dogs only matter to you dog lovers
We "take care of" five or six
thousand animals yearly
"Ying Do Rotisserie"
I see, thank you
Chef Shek, you have visitors
What? Damn
Chef Shek, please save Roasted Piggy
What?
Roasted Piggy
Get it in the shop
No... I mean your dog, Roasted Piggy
Let's ask animal
servive to deflea her first
Before taking her home
Chef Shek
You're still here?
Chef Shek, sorry for
the trouble, please help
I gotta work every day
I understand, we just need two hours
If I don't get paid, are you gonna pay me?
Yes, if you save Roasted Piggy
I'll pay triple
Just sign the surrender form
Roasted Piggy will live, I'll do the rest
I don't wanna see it
Fortune teller said it brought bad luck,
I'm kind enough
To set it free
Set it free? More like let her die
Missy, I set it free...
Chef Shek, your dog
still loves eating pork belly
I'm sure it misses you
I promise, I'll care for her like a human
Think about it please
Please help
Just go, weirdos
New owner's ID please
Sorry
Take this one please
Ok
Roasted Piggy...
Everything's ok now... come
You lost weight, poor thing
Let's have a big feast tonight
Your ID
Thank you
Look, she lost weight
No papers to sign?
No, I've registered myself as the owner
Wait, are you a hoarder?
You have so many dogs already
Can't you share one with me?
First, I'm not a hoarder
Second, I don't trust you yet
Third, I always assess new adopters
I'm very fair
Let's go, come on
Catch it
What is it?
Put it on, helps you heal
See you at the shelter 3:30pm tomorrow
Come on
Kai... Kai...
What?
Dog training
Lock the gate
It's pretty nice here, just a bit smelly
Come on
Damn... dog poo
Help me out
Take the broom
Thanks
Gotta clean the whole place
That's beginner's training?
Dammit
The shit just won't go away
Suture
Do you have the dogs' consent
before neutering them?
Normal
If you're a stray, do you consent to
Living in fear and hunger all your life?
We're picking up slacks
for irresponsible owners
You're her owner
Take care of her till the end
Kai... Kai...
We gotta go to the hill,
can you go to Warm Home?
Sure
Long's waiting for you
They're just dogs, why the fuss?
Old dogs can't chew, just like you
I left food at the hut,
you guys can go elsewhere
This colour is nice, can I take it?
Ok
Thank you
Why's there a bear?
Another emigration
Over here
Toby, someone left an Alaskan Malamute
Outside the shelter
I'll bring it for check up tomorrow?
Life is harsh, people
abandon their families
Let alone pets, don't be so naive
The dogs will change your mind
They all depend on you
How could you walk away?
Keeping a dog is not
easy, I'm still learning
Remember what we taught you?
Of course
If you're nice to Roasted Piggy,
she'll be grateful to you
Ain't I nice to you?
Let's split the pork belly... give paw
If you're bad to Roasted Piggy,
I'll make you suffer
She'll make me suffer
Wait a second
I made this
Good girl
Let's go home
Lunchtime
Lunchtime...
Lunchtime...
Come with me... Roasted Piggy
There're so many
Every life counts
Thirsty? Water, please
I'll publish a post tomorrow
To call for dog food donation
Were you like them before?
You came down the hill today
Hi, are you animal care volunteers?
We're cleaning the beach and found these
Are they poisonous bait?
Hey, dad! Dad!
It's me. It's us.
We're here, OMG, small world.
We'll come to you.
Is it your dog? Can I touch it?
What is its name?
Panda
Let us know if you find more evidence
Thank you, madam
Thank you
No worries
Let's go
Let's go, Roasted Piggy
Hey dad! Give me some hug
What the...
Handshake
We're not close... stay away
It's all good.
My son-in-law, Sum
Hi, Sum
His name is Sean
Doesn't matter
He'll smile whatever I call him
Peter
Right?
We'll carry on, nice meeting you
Wait, this is my daughter, Zoie
Una
Hello
By the way, I'm
discharged from the hospital
I've been volunteering with
Roasted Piggy every day
Don't worry about me
Good for you
Yes, yes
Oh, the pension money
Since nobody wants
it, it'll go to Warm Home
Every penny
You still need training though
You know?
He's hosing down Roasted
Piggy the first time we met
I was shocked
So... this volunteer is
a danger to the animals
Yup, he still needs to learn
There's poison here, let's go
Did he boss you around?
He bosses everyone around...
Grumping about everything
My dad used to hate dogs
What've you done to him
Nothing... it's Roasted Piggy,
they have a connection
Have you heard
Dogs will save their owners in crisis
I guess so... you mean...
Roasted Piggy has saved dad?
Yes... Roasted Piggy saved him that time
It's funny, when I was in high school,
I really wanted a dog
Did you get one?
Of course not
I didn't know why
He just got really mad and cursed at me
He curses all the time,
the entire village knows
Always repeats himself
Like when he saved Wu
Kwok Hung's penalty shot
He love picking fights with people
Don't worry, he volunteers with us now
I'll rein him in
Don't waste your time
Focus on the dogs
You hungry? Yeah?
I checked the tin hut, all good, no poison
Poor thing, she's famished
Why don't you just let
the police investigate?
We've learned by experience,
if there's no evidence
Even if they catch the suspect
They can't charge him,
we must stay vigilant
I got something for you
You ate everything
What is it?
GPS tracker, attachable to collar
Put it on Roasted Piggy
So you won't lose her
Global positioning
Global positioning, wow
I'll install the app on your phone
Put it on her collar
There
Let me put this on you...
Done
Ok
Try it
Like this?
Over... Over
Can you hear me?
Of course she can
Try it over there
That's true... stay...
Here?
Further
Here?
Ok
Over... Over
Dad is in Saikung
She heard me, she's looking for me, so cool
I'll turn it off
You should talk to your daughter too
It's too late now, she'll just ignore me
Try listening to her
Don't just keep grumbling
Alright alright
It's pointless to tell you
Let's call it a day
Let's play with the tracker
It won't be this easy next time
Yeah whatever
Let's go, Roasted Piggy
Come here... hungry after the big poop?
Sit... good girl
I got stuff to do
Like... Does it have to be tomorrow?
I'll get some water
It was my dad on the phone
He needs me in Edinburgh tomorrow for work
Ok
You know I can't say no to my dad
I know, your job is important
I'm sorry, I know you've put so much work
To set up Bambi's trap
How about postponing it?
It's ok, I'll figure it out myself
But keep your promise next time
Bambi is impossible to capture
Kai, if the dog enters the cage
I'll get in first
Hand me the foldable cage at the gate
What the heck is this?
You made it? Awesome
And now?
Should i get in?
No, put the cage aside first
That's clever, smells wonderful
We'll wait up there
Where?
There
You pushed this huge one...
Shh... be quiet
Isn't it a bit much
It's just a dog
It's hard to catch, we
failed many times before
Then don't catch it
It's here?
Bring the cage...
what?
The one you carried
Easy... easy...
Cage's here
It's so ferocious
It's ok... it's been beaten before,
so it's scared of people
Trust me, leave the cage
It's gonna bite, that's bad...
Don't come in
I got nutmegged
How's your hand?
It's fine, just a scratch
You'll need tetanus shot
When are you coming home?
Huh?
Tetanus shot
No need, I just disinfected it
- Is Chun Man there?
- Gotta take care of yourself...
I'll bring you to the doctor
I have discounts
Hello?
Can you ask Chun Man
For the qigong seminar tickets
Bring them home tonight
What tickets?
I didn't wanna bother you
There's a qigong master visiting Hong Kong
Chun Man helped me grab the tickets
Stop making him work for you
Just my future son-in-law
Running a small errand for
his future mother-in-law
Just stop bothering him
Do I have a choice?
Haven't seen you in a month
Who can help me when my shoulders hurt?
Anyway, gotta go
Made an appointment, 3:30pm tomorrow
I'll go with you
Ok, thanks
Go home now
Thank you
- You ok?
- Yeah
You're doing too much,
look how bad you're hurt
It's nothing this time, look
This is from Pei-pei,
he has a new owner now
This is from Optimus
Prime, he was in the hospital
He's waiting for adoption now
I'm not trying to pry
But maybe you're sick, with OCD
You know?
I'll find you a doctor
I know many shrinks
No need, I'm fine
Fine? Roll up your sleeve, let me see
Another scar... did you
get bitten by a bear?
No... this one...
Was from a fight with my mom when I was 16
I was furious, almost
jumped out of the window
Got scraped by the grille
when mom pulled me in
Has the window grille been fixed?
Don't know, haven't been back for a while
Where're you staying then?
Great... chicken leg
Wait
Why took it away?
Too oily
Am I only allowed to eat these?
And these
The soup is good... nourishing
I learned cooking since I was very young
Had to rely on myself,
gotta know how to cook
You should thank your mom
Thank her? She wants
me to shut down this place
Don't listen to her on this matter
I finally found my interest
Roasted Piggy has so many friends here too
Don't fold it
Actually, if you speak nicely
Your relationship with your
daughter will be better
Is that so? It's fate...
Roasted Piggy...
Why is it here?
Was it you? You did it?
I thought I did everything for my family
But no one appreciated it
Why is your daughter mad at you?
Things are complicated in grown-ups' world,
it's not black and white
Anyway, I'm destined to be alone
Not alone, you have Roasted Piggy
And Warm Home
Warm Home needs you too
I don't need this dog's lair
Really? Stop eating my food
Come on, wouldn't hurt to share
Come on
Ok, but you need to stop
thinking about giving up
Giving up on what?
Just giving up
Don't be silly, I just slipped
It's her fault, she jumped up on me
How about this? The nutmeg?
It was you, I haven't scolded you yet
This tea house is amazing,
customers are friendly too
She's a great dog
Mr. Yam, I have something for you
Really? What's that?
- For me?
- Yes
"Egg Twist Recipe"
"Be back next Wednesday,
can't wait to see you"
Ever consider sterilising your dog?
I'm not sure about that
It's good for the dog,
there'll be less strays too
Dogs stop guarding once they're sterilised
That's not true
Ok... I'll think about it
Thank you
Roasted Piggy! Naughty girl
- Roasted Piggy
- Come back!
Good girl
Are you hungry?
She smiled... but I'm blurred
Grandpa, it's your birthday next week,
let's have a celebration
That's a deal... I'll make you egg twists
We call on all dog owners to be vigilant
Many volunteers have reported to the police
Hope it could stop him
Whatever your reasons are
You have no rights to kill the dogs
Good morning
Thanks for coming
Just wanna see what I can help
Let me brief you on the situation
Hello, if you find Spam on the ground
Inform us at once
Please help
Hello, if you find Spam on the ground
Inform us at once
Please help
Told you not to come here!
You lied to me, why don't you listen
I didn't lie,
volunteering is my extracurricular activity
It's not our business,
stray dogs dying's no big deal
How could you say it's no big deal?
They guard our village from thieves
They're helping you
You...
Mrs. Mak, if Long lost his life
How would you feel?
You're so mean! How dare you!
Fine, join their gang
We're mean, but not as mean as you!
You just showed your son
He'll do the same to you
Mrs. Mak, Long is a kind boy
Just like you, I believe
Believe in your son
You're not coming with me?
I'd better go now
Take care...
Ok
Zoie
Can you hand out these flyers?
To remind villagers to watch out for poison
Let's put the posters up
Hand out the flyers over there
Distribute it at the exit
Young man, do you
have dogs? Please help out
Take one please
We found poison-stuffed Spam lately
Inform us if you find any
Keep an eye out
My knees hurt, I gotta sit down
Time to take meds, Kai
Zoie, we can wrap up for today
Thanks a lot
It's nothing
Your work is tough, gotta care for the dogs
Plus handling the villagers
Dogs are easy
Villagers like your dad can be a pain
He's so stubborn
I think you two are great partners
He has changed indeed
At least he stopped giving
pork belly to Roasted Piggy
You just met him
Is it so hard
To be less mean and harsh on your family?
Gotta pick up my daughter
Call me if you need help
Sure, thank you
Bye
"Best Wishes to My Beloved Daughter,
Zoie, and her Family"
If I move abroad now
Forget about promotion
I'll be jobless, don't be silly
Sure, let's drop it then
Zoie, let's go play, just you and me
I kept you here because
there's poison out there
Do you remember?
When I first started Warm Home
Everyone was against me
Luckily I have you to stay with me,
listen to me every night
No matter how frustrated I was
You gave me the strength to carry on
Mom said I was too kind to animals
But I'm the one who gained the most
Since I adopted you
Do you always talk to dogs?
It's nice to share
When you're happy
Or sad, even when you question your life
You do make me question my life
Let's go, Roasted Piggy
Kai
Don't keep everything to yourself
Have you ever questioned your life?
I did, really couldn't handle it
Doctor said I had a Mood Disorder,
do you know what is Mood Disorder?
I always brag about my goalkeeping
But these calluses aren't from goalkeeping
I thought I could keep my family
together by working aboard
Whom could I talk to?
Then Zoie wanted a bloody dog
My relationship with her kept getting worse
What could I do?
You understand me?
But so what, she doesn't understand
Namaste
Namaste
Straighten your leg
Left leg first... your leg is too long
It's great... that Chun
Man's coming back tomorrow
We're so exhausted without him
You miss him?
Of course, I'm so tired
Go to the dinner for me
You're nuts
You'll wear a dress?
What's wrong with that?
Haven't seen you in a
dress in the past five years
He said he had something
important to tell me...
Don't say anything... just say...
I do
That'll do
Let's see what he says
Hi, it's Mr. Lam, for two
Please wait
He's here already, this way please
Una
There's something I need to tell you
Dad has lined up an agent in Edinburgh
We've decided to relocate the company there
I'd like to move there with you
To start a new life
We can get married there
So this dinner is about
moving to Edinburgh?
I know it's a lot to take in
But don't worry, I have families there
I took care of everything already
Took care of what?
Warm Home means the world to you
The fosterers can keep the dogs first
Before finding adopters
It's not gonna work
Many dogs are so old
No one will adopt them
I must stay to take care of them
I know, but dad really
wants us to move there
The demand
For healthcare products
is really high there
Think about it
The timing is perfect for our career
I don't care about career
Ok... ok... no career
You can still help stray dogs there
You can become a breeder
They're very systematised,
it'll be great for you
What about the strays
on the hill and mudflat?
I got them covered, look
I found two shelters that can help
I told you already, no takeover
I don't trust others
What do you want then?
I've done everything I could
Apart from the animals
Can you care for me too?
I care for you of course, don't 1?
But I can't leave
The animals need me, do you understand?
My prayer has been answered!
I heard the rich boy is leaving
That stupid animal shelter
won't renew their lease
Thank goodness
Shush
Yes the pee smells disgusting
Especially on sunny days...
Hi, Shui, Mrs. Mak, please help
Remove any poisonous bait you see
Around Ma Po Toi Village
There's been lots of poisonous Spam
It's getting worse
It's so good
I'm glad you like it
I'll get the message
Turn left at the crossroad
By the way
I've passed probation at
Warm Home a while ago
When can I be an official staff?
You have your own plans
Will you give up Warm Home?
Of course not, I worked so hard for it
How could I
That's good to know...
This lonely old man
Still has this Warm Home
Chun Man asked me to
move to Edinburgh with him
I see
You're the boss, keep it for yourself
It's Kai's birthday, so at the dinner
There'll be his daughter,
son-in-law, and granddaughter
They seldom eat together
Let's help them ease things up
That's it?
What about us?
I figured out, we can
bring ten dogs with us
I'm not forcing you,
but I'm looking for a farm
To build their new home
Let's have dinner first
Then we'll talk, ok?
Why are you hesitating?
I know you've done a lot for me
But moving abroad is a big decision,
I need to think it through
Ok
Keep going...
Dad, come join us
Barbecue with us, it's fun
Sweetie, you want to try fish balls?
Do you want some of these?
She's busy playing with Pork Belly
Brush some honey, it's getting burnt
All over it, you missed that part
That's the best juiciest part
- So"?
- Perfect
Took me all day, give it to your boyfriend
Have a try
Egg twists, took me all day to make
The small one, just one bite
Say thank you
Thank you
Is it good... wanna try?
Oh, let me try that
So good
It's really good, dad
You used to like it
Doesn't mean that I still do
Honey, you gotta get the recipe for this
This is amazing.
Let's try some too
No thanks
Kai spent a lot of effort, try some
You know I don't eat sweets
Oh my god, it's so good
Don't eat then
No need to force yourselves
Bin it
Kai
Don't force him
Grandpa is not in a good mood
Can't force someone to like it
I'm sorry, can't help you
As you can see, bad timing
Chun Man's a good man
Safe trip
What safe trip
I never said I'd leave
What did you tell Kai?
Yes, I asked Kai to persuade you
Because you never wanna talk about it
It's our business
Nothing to do with others
I'm sorry, didn't mean to ruin the night
I'm really sorry
Honey, can you please take
Kathy to the car first
Are you sure?
I can handle it
Come here sweetie
Bye dad
I'll clean up, no need to help
We'll move back to Montreal next month
Go on then, don't keep them waiting
Nothing to say to me?
Say what?
Just go, or else if they blame you
You'll blame it on me
You don't wish me a safe trip?
Which one is your daughter really?
Why am I always irrelevant to you?
Safe trip
Safe trip
Enough? One more, safe trip
Mom's right, that's who you are
So selfish
Stop insulting me with your mom
Apart from a mother
You have a father too
I worked my ass off to raise you
Is providing money
A father's only duty?
That's just sponsorship
All the parent's meetings... sports days
Did you ever come even once?
Did you care about my grades?
Did you even know?
I remember one winter, it was freezing cold
The heater broke down,
mom and I kept crying
We were so scared
There were some thugs outside
I kept asking mom
Where's daddy? Where's daddy?
Where were you?
Where the hell were you?
At the doctor's...
Did you know what your mom did to me?
I knew, I couldn't control whom she liked
At least she didn't abandon me. You?
What did you do to us?
So you think your mom's always right?
I thought when you grew
up, became a mother...
You'd see what's right and what's wrong
Exactly, now I finally see what
kind of person you are
All you do is running away
From mom, and from me too
You left us in Montreal
Did you know how much I missed you?
You're wrong, I didn't run away
I bought a ticket
I was going on the plane... I...
And then
I didn't see you
Not even at mom's funeral
Why? I wanna know all these years
Tell me now, why!
Just drop it
You wouldn't try to understand anyway
Stop talking about your mom
She's passed
Let's drop it, ok?
Sure, let's drop it
Take it to our graves
And the problem
between us, let's bury it too
Moon landing mission commander
Calling lunar beauty... Zoie Yam
Hello... daddy
Don't be stubborn, I'm fine now
I bought the ticket already
Don't come
I was really disappointed in you
Doubted if you really loved me
Kai, let's live our lives separately
Don't dwell on the past
Call Zoie more often... ok?
I will
Sorry
Don't forget to call
Thanks for everything all these years
Safe trip
I respect your decision
Una, If you need me
Just know that I'll be there
"Volunteer A: something came up,
can anyone take my shift tonight?"
"Una: I'm sorry, working late tonight"
Has Chili been good today?
Yeah, he missed you
- Thank you
- See you, bye
"Kai Home"
Roasted Piggy, we'll
patrol the hill tomorrow
Get some rest now
"Found poisonous bait at pavilion"
"Also at town hall too"
"Help! Many dogs were poisoned at mudflat"
Come
Roasted Piggy, it's dangerous, stay close
Stop! Roasted Piggy! It's dangerous!
Bring towels, push carts, cages
Stay if you have first aid kit,
for dogs without seizure
Induce vomiting with baking soda
Get the stuff!
Toby, emergency at mudflat
Send cars
Ask which clinics have vacancies
Take as many spots as you can
Towels...
Haul the dogs!
Towels please
Move this dog first
Come back for other dogs
Any water?
Towels! Towels here
Panda... hang in there
Can someone help us?
Let mommy help!
One, two, three!
Anyone has water?
I'll take over, buddy
It's ok, mommy's here
Roasted Piggy!
It's ok...
It's ok... are you hurt?
It's ok
Move this one first
There are more
Make sure we don't miss anything
Be careful
Sixty dogs were killed by poison
At Sai Kung's Ma Po Toi Village today
A middle aged man has been arrested
Claiming he poisoned stray dogs
Since they're nuisance to his land
A dog owner was stabbed
as the defendant fled
Panda, hope you'd find happiness
In dog's heaven
Does it still hurt, dad?
You're so brave
Daddy, come here, there's something weird
Ok, sweetie, coming
Mommy, it looks like
there's a walkie-talkie
Hello, is anybody there?
Hello?
Is someone there? Over
Hello, hello, Kathy
Hello, daddy?
Great
Why are we organising
This first aid course today?
As we've discovered poisonous
bait in various villages
So we hope this course
Could inform the public
If your dog eats something poisonous
What should you do
So... is Warm Home closing?
Yes
It's ok, Warm Home's closed
Kai Home will open, I'll take over
Did you hear it? What's that?
Hold it
Stay there, good girl, let me have a look
What's that?
Una
Look, so cute
Poor thing... stop it, you're quitting
Don't bother with them
Let's go, puppies
You don't know anything
Let me check on them
So?
Should be fine
That's great, let's go home now
Kai...
I forgot who told me
She said "every dog counts"
It's "every life counts"
