The Legend of Wisely (1987) Movie Script
The dragon pearl?
The money?
Who are you?
Me...l'm David Ko, of course.
David Ko is less than 5 ft. tall.
You want to fake him?
Chop off your head first!
What you want is the pearl,
and this one is real.
You're right, the pearl is a fake,
but not this gun.
Don't move, that's it, don't move...
This way it's not going to move,
Wisely.
How come you know my name?
You don't have to know how l knew.
Mr. Howard Hope is waiting for you.
Take home as your souvenir!
How are you? Mr. Wisely.
Hope you don't mind me
reading your notes.
l'm Howard Hope.
Our lady friend just ruined
my whole day's effort.
And without my permission,
you read my notes.
lf you were me, would you mind?
You believe
that extraterritorial looks so ugly?
This is creativity,
and it's called imagination.
lf you do come across them.
Please take a picture for me.
l come to ask you
to find someone for me.
You make a mistake,
l write science fictions.
Not classified ads for want.
You don't have to do that
to find David Ko, do you?
l'm sorry, l can't help you.
David Ko has been missing
for 3 years.
You and David are old pals.
You two grew up together.
His father, Prof. Ko,
treated you as his son.
So you've done some research.
What does David has to do with you.
l can't tell you right now.
Ok, come again
when you're ready to tell me.
Howard Hope is one of the richest
in the world.
He retreated to Egypt many years ago
and never shows up
in public any more.
Why does he want to find David?
What a coincidence.
Just as l said l couldn't find David
he finds me instead.
The legend said
that a dragon had once flown over Nepal
and left a pearl,
which could intelligence.
Of course, many people believe
it is ridiculous.
David's father has spent half of
his lifetime to find this dragon pearl.
When he died,
all of his work were passed to David.
l believe Howard Hope wants
to find David
must have something to do
with the dragon pearl.
David finds me all so suddenly.
Wonder what kind of trouble
he runs into this time
- sir...buy a mask.
- No, thanks.
lt's beautiful...Really beautiful.
Buy one!
Here!
Keep it...
You're generous, thank you, bye-bye!
l'm David!
Over there!
Let's run, quick!
Get them!
Move, don't block the way!
Follow me, this way!
l was afraid
that you wouldn't recognize me.
Who are you?
Me...l am David.
Still kidding me after so many years?
You don't look like this
in the past?
When you're doing fine,
no one can find you.
You find me so urgently,
you must be in some trouble.
Who says it's trouble?
Now even the big guy need my help.
You know who he is?
lt's Pak Kei-wei of the Ching Gang.
This guy is really some big shot.
He has already deposited
$2,000,000 in the bank.
Too bad it's his own account.
Such a big deal,
sure l have to count you in.
No more bullshit,
you could not find it?
Don't underestimate me,
l've already found the pearl.
You find it? Where is it?
lt's in this mountain village.
Too bad it is in the possession
of an evil religion.
As soon as they discover me,
they'll try to kill me.
Were those monks after you?
They aren't bald.
Yeah, seems that they have hair.
Balds aren't always monks,
then monks aren't all bald.
What's the matter?
Sorry, l thought you're someone else.
You scare me!
For you...and you.
That settles it.
No, look,
even my instrument was broken.
How am l going to find my next job?
Enough for a new one?
12th Dec,
the new master shall emerge.
The old master has passed away.
With the aid of the pearl,
l've made it through.
Today, is the only day in your life
that you can see the pearl.
So here l bless each and everyone
of you.
You aren't one of us,
what are you doing here?
Catch him!
Hold it!
Catch him! Hold it!
Don't be mistaken,
l come here to find a friend.
My foot!
Little master is in danger!
Be careful, little master!
- Hang on, little master.
- Take care of little master.
Stop him!
Catch him!
Use the net.
Help me.
Some kind of mass, ha?
Let's get away first.
Let's go!
There!
You go this way, you go that way,
the rest follow me.
Wait...Let's take a rest,
it's Ok now.
l always know you can straighten it out.
What the hell were you doing indeed?
Don't worry,
there will be advantage for you.
To hell l believe you.
Run!
Horses! Over there!
Lend it to me, will you!
What? The horse is mine.
Go!
l beg you.
Wisely.
Come back!
Help me! Come back.
Quick!
Give me back my horse.
lt's bumpy.
Hold tight.
Quick, they're right behind, Help!
Get down.
- Down.
- What?
David, are you alright?
No problem.
Beware what's behind you.
Get on the plane?
Start the engine.
Hold on tight.
Who stabs my back?
- Damn it!
- My dragon pearl!
Coconut?
Go!
Why are you so nervous?
There's a whole box at the back.
You really scare me.
lt's all yours
They're gone...
You lied to me and used me
to distract those monks.
So that you could steal the pearl.
lf l said l need your help
to steal something.
You're so straight...no.
You're so smart,
sure you won't do it.
Don't we make it now?
You did!
No, l've already counted you in.
Otherwise,
how can we say we are pals?
When we returned,
Mr. Pak Kei-wei will take care of us.
Even if those monks follow us
all the way to Hong Kong.
We've nothing to be afraid of,
don't we?
l don't find those monks evil at all.
lt's you.
What is it?
What?
Yes, why is it like this?
Exactly what has happened?
Smoke! What are we going to do?
lt's out of control.
No reason at all.
lt's too late,
there's a river down there, let's jump.
What's holding me back, what is it?
David...
- The dragon pearl
- has been stolen by your friend
and he has left Nepal already.
Good guess,
except he died in a plane crash.
l didn't guess it.
Do you believe in the 3rd eye!
Extra-sensory-perception.
That's right,
it's the ESP that you're now thinking of.
All our masters have our 3rd eye
opened by the pearl.
l'm too young
l can only feel those that are near.
And sometimes
l can't feel anything at all.
Your friend has left,
and l can do nothing about it.
ls David still alive?
ln your world,
the pearl can only cause trouble.
But to our religion,
it is everything.
l do wish that you can help us
to find the pearl.
Actually it has nothing to do
B219with me.
l know you've nothing to do
with this
and you were framed
by your friend only.
He heard it again?
ln this distance,
of course l can feel it.
But sometimes l make mistakes.
l also figure out
you're an righteous man,
and you're going to help us.
ls my feeling correct?
lf my friend is really still alive.
l'll make him return the pearl
to you.
Then l will wait for you here.
ln today's world, ESP has already
been proven to its existence.
But for a five years old kid,
saying that he acquires this ability
through the pearl.
ls really hard to believe.
Nevertheless,
l still wish that David is alive.
l am Howard Hope, remember me?
lf you don't remember, it's alright.
Confused?
l ain't confused, Mr. Wisely.
l'm talking to you
via Tele-intercom.
Where are you?
l'm always in Egypt.
Last time you said
l could find you when l'm ready.
Now l can tell you.
But to avoid being overheard
by someone else.
l've sent my assistant to talk
to you in person.
however, l'd still like to say hello
to you first.
Wishing our co-operation
will be successful.
Living in a yatch,
you're pretty fancy, ha?
Why are you sailing my boat
out to sea?
l don't want anyone else
to hear our conversation.
l come to Hong Kong
to get the pearl.
Wisely,
you should know where David is now.
l'm looking for him as well.
Wisely, l know you'll be fine.
lt's all settled now,
l'm busy studying the pearl.
The big guy is treating me
as his brother.
Come and see me.
There'll be advantages for you.
See you soon!
This is for you.
Since you know David so well.
lt's easy for you
to make him return the pearl to us.
The pearl belongs to him?
That's right,
it belongs to his ancestors.
Wrong, the pearl belongs
to a very old religion.
l'll go find David
to return the pearl.
But not to you,
l'll send it back to the monks.
How much they offered you,
we'll pay 10 times more.
lt's free of charge,
and l bear my own expenses.
ls $3,000,000. Enough?
l mean US dollars.
l believe our discussion ends here?
Just name your price, Wisely.
Where do you want me to drop you?
lf Mr. Hope didn't ask me to come.
l wouldn't even bother to deal
with you this way.
l don't know what this woman
is going to do next.
But she doesn't look
she's easy to handle.
She'll soon find out where David is.
l must be ahead of her.
Thanks!
Terrific.
isn't he Wisely?
Pardon me, Mr. Pak,
l didn't mean to...
Excuse me, Miss,
l don't know you are.
You did it on purpose.
l was only playing not for real?
Let me explain,
l don't know you are a lady.
Still take my advantage?
Stay there, l can handle him.
OK l lose, Miss Sue Pak.
How come you know my name?
Who told you?
Why are you here?
Are you looking for me?
lf you are, why don't you say so?
ls it because you want
to try out my martial arts?
l'm asking you questions
why don't you answer?
You asked me so many questions
in such a short time.
l need some time to think them over.
Oh yes,
one has to lie down to think.
ln fact, l came to look for your brother.
l am Wisely.
So you think
the whole world knows you, Wisely?
Pak Sue...
Miss Pak,
you name is really special.
Can l borrow it?
What, you want to change your surname?
No, l like to use it
for my heroine in my new book.
The leading character...
l got it,
all the leading role's name in your
books were borrowed just like this.
No, this is the first time
l used this idea.
So you admit is a trick?
Brother, this is Wisely.
Wisely, adventurer, sci-fi writer
intelligent and heroic man,
it's my honor to meet you.
Pak Kei-wei,
God Father of the Ching Gang.
Chief of the underground.
Go on flattering one another.
Wisely, nice to meet you, bye-bye.
Yes, David said that
in the Himalayas.
Without your help
lt's impossible for him
to get the pearl.
This is a $300,000 cheque
to cover your expenses.
Mr. Pak, l came here is
to ask David for the pearl.
Mr. Wisely, do you realize
how much time and money.
l've spent on this project.
l sponsored David
to find this dragon pearl,
and provided him with everything
for his research.
What does it have to do with you?
You just wish to keep it
for yourself.
This pearl is a matter of life
and death to a religion.
and to a lot of men.
Take care of your life first.
You'll live longer
if your mind your own business.
Yes...
l won't give up just like that.
Mr. Pak, look at me.
Now the monks wouldn't recognize me!
l'm not as handsome
as when l'd my beard and long hair.
l'm interested in the pearl,
not your face.
Have you got
the analysis report yet?
Not yet!
l've tried all test,
but it has no response at all.
l don't even know
what it is made of?
So far you've spent a huge portion
of my money.
And yet not even a report
is finished.
l always hate being cheated.
Mr. Pak, you must be kidding,
l wouldn't dare...
l always hate kidding.
You said you needed one year
to find the pearl.
l trusted you.
But you've spent 3 years.
Then you said
you needed Wisely again l trusted you.
ln face you set him up.
l...
You told me,
if it's not Wisely's help.
lt's impossible to make it.
- You told me gave him some credits.
- Yes.
l prepared a $300,000 cheque
for him.
But he asked me
to return the pearl instead.
l really don't know he would...
Forget it,
l don't come here for your explanation.
Not until you find out anything
about this pearl.
You are going to remain in this room
Wow, God Father is a hard man.
lsn't it like in jail.
So she's so many of my novels.
l thought you were nude.
Why are you here?
l don't come here for you.
So you are not here for me.
l am looking for David
helped your brother to rob the pearl
from a religion
which directly affects the fate
of the religion.
l've promised their little master
that l'm going to return it to them.
Regard you argued
with my brother outside the door.
l agree that he is pushing too far.
Hide in my bed.
Who is it?
lt's me.
Come in, brother!
Already in bed?
Aren't you used to read?
You read this guy's novel again.
Did Wisely say anything to you?
Not at all, why do you ask?
l was afraid
that you'll be cheated by others
Cheated?
You know that whoever cheats me.
Will be fooled.
Fooling others is wrong.
l know,
brother, l can tell right from wrong.
ln face, l'm not happy
in the way you got this pearl.
For years,
father had tried every mean to find this.
l've to accomplish what he'd failed.
lf he knew how you got this pearl.
You're in big trouble.
Sue, do you feel that
with a father of such caliber,
is in fact a burden? Go to sleep!
Sleep early.
Reading too much of these
will led you to insanity.
Wake up, stupid...wake up.
Are you asleep?
Hey...you haven't fainted,
are you? Wake up!
Want my mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation?
Wisely, you better leave!
Wait, let me ask you
lf the Ching Gangs' emblem is stolen
What will happen to Ching Gang?
No more credibility and unity
For them the dragon pearl
has the same function.
l understand your brother's feeling.
lt's not easy
being a great man's children.
But he shouldn't do
whatever he wanted.
To prove himself, don't you agree?
Please don't argue with him
face to face.
Then help me secretly!
Wake up...
Are those monks here?
l told you to return the pearl
to those monks.
What? They will give us credits?
Bullshit, where's the pearl?
Miss Pak, you make the decision!
Hand it to him.
You are going to be responsible
for this.
Quick, let's go
lf you do this,
please might as well shoot me.
Miss Pak,
you know your brother's temperament.
lf he takes the pearl
and leaves me here.
l'll be a dead man.
Since l'll be dead anyway,
l'd rather go with you.
lt's all your fault,
and you have
to bear the consequence.
Wisely, l know it's my fault,
l sold you out.
Are we pals?
Then shoot me.
Couldn't careless.
Come...Come on!
Take the gun,
hold me as your hostage.
Take it.
Wisely, you aren't kidding with me,
are you?
Do l look like it?
Brother, don't come any closer.
Wisely has promised not to hurt me.
Let them go!
OK, l'll let you go!
But if you dare to lay one finger
on my sister
l'll guarantee
that you can never hide from me!
Let them go!
Go!
Don't look at me, he got the gun!
Shut up!
Don't come close!
This car, get in!
Go!
Smart of you
to use this trick to escape.
Look!
What is it?
Let's go!
Open fire!
My hand...
You're so stupid.
What is it?
Grenade!
They're right behind.
You brother is a cruel man
sending these commandos.
My brother knows
l'm here he wouldn't send his men.
He wouldn't.
Who sends them?
l know.
Oh, no!
lt's a cul-de-sac!
Look!
There's a cliff on the side.
What are we going to do?
There's a spur in the front,
let's bet on this!
Jump!
Up!
Wisely, help me!
Don't hurt him,
Mr. Hope wants him alive.
Hey, you're pressing me again.
Sorry!
What are we going to do?
Go and find Howard Hope directly.
Howard Hope?
What does he have to do with this?
Those are his men.
They'll return to Egypt immediately.
Great,
l've never been to Egypt before.
Sue, l can't take you there.
ln that case, l will take you.
lt's too dangerous over there.
Then it's even more important
for me to take you.
Stop kidding.
Do l look kidding with you?
Once l make a promise, l'll keep it.
Am l a irresponsible woman?
No!
Then you?
l really can't take you with me.
- Sue!
- No matter how you beg me.
l wont' take you.
l really want you to come,
but it's too dangerous.
Ok, you don't have to beg,
l'll take you.
Why such a long face?
Why camel, when we can take a cab.
Come on! This is more romantic.
Hey...get up!
lt's now that's the most romantic.
So this is really romantic.
Exactly who is this rattlesnake
that you mentioned?
l've heard that in Egypt,
this guy has all the connections.
But l've never met him before.
Don't worry,
as long as he is in this business.
He is going to give us some respect.
When we get there,
l'll show him our Gang's badge
and everything will be alright.
Look, a Chinese archaeology team.
Folks...
How are you?
Nothing!
Look, the sun, it's so beautiful.
Look like it is going to drop
into sand.
Watch out
we don't get slip into the sand first.
Do you know under this desert.
ls the old city of Cala.
lf we step on any quicksand.
You'll be lucky if you died
of suffocation instantly.
Or you may find yourself trapped
in the city of life.
Do you have anything
against romanticism?
Are we leaving tomorrow?
Even it is a ruin up there
l'm still going back.
lt's my homeland anyway.
Are you sure you want to go with me?
When my home was at war,
l decided to leave.
As l got here,
my ship crashed but l didn't mind.
Only l can't get rid
of that home-sick feeling.
You've already seen my miseries.
So why follows my footsteps
to be an immigrant?
l won't be afraid as long
as l am with you.
Maybe we humans are easier
to be satisfied.
l wonder if she is a woman slave?
What? You want to know how much
and buy one!
No!
The sky is our father,
the land is our mother.
The world united together,
Pak Sue pays her regards.
l believe he has nothing to do
with the Ching Gang.
Let me try the badge
of the Koi Gang.
You are member of the Koi Gang?
So we are both Chinese,
how nice, how nice.
l came from Hong Kong too, look!
Buddies, if you need anything,
just let me know.
We need your help to find a person.
A man or a woman?
A man!
A man, no problem.
You prefer fat guy or thin guy.
l ain't gay,
l want to find a man
called Howard Hope.
You too don't be mistaken.
You too don't be mistaken.
Haven't seen Chinese for so long,
let's take a picture.
l'll take care of it.
Come back in 3 hours
and l'll be ready for you.
Thanks.
l wonder how much does one cost?
You really want to buy one?
l'm only kidding.
That guy is going to betray us.
How do you know?
He is no rattlesnake,
he's a snake with 2 heads.
He had betrayed one of my friends.
Who had to take the midnight express
to Hong Kong.
So you did this
B614on purpose letting him to betray us.
Smart, in figuring out
such simple problem.
Hey, you're mean.
You're so humble in your books.
Writer, writer,
writing is a creative matter.
Hey, if you're going to use my name
in your new book.
How are you going to write about me?
l'll write you as a more tender,
more mature.
More intelligent, more feminine.
More friendly, more...
So you mean l ain't tender enough,
mature enough.
- Feminine enough
- Look!
Pal!
When he mentioned your name,
l knew it's my chance.
Few Chinese are as smart as l am.
See how smart this guy looks.
But anyway,
l fooled him and l took this picture.
And here's the picture.
l've already drawn you the map.
Why insist on taking me
the mountain village.
lf those monks see me,
they will kill me.
Go!
l really can't go, Madam.
l have to go.
Boss, l betray my own folks.
Simply to show my loyalty.
But now, my mouth is dry.
lf there is any water,
it will be terrific!
l'm rich.
Have you seen Howard Hope?
Yes, l have seen him.
Have you seen a shorty?
Yes.
Have you seen a ball-like object.
One? lt used to be in pair.
How many guard are there?
Many, and they all have guns.
Hey, you sound as though you want
to find him! Now.
What you say is rubbish.
Then just ask one question.
What?
Ask me where he is!
Where?
He's gone, through the rear gate.
Where to?
What's there for me? Wait,
l'll tell you.
They're going to take that shorty
to some mountain.
Mountain village...this is for you.
They're coming!
Who are they?
Certainly not one of us.
lt is shake badly.
Are you wearing any dentures or wig.
No!
That's better!
The car can't go up anymore.
Boss, what's next?
- Get rid of them!
- Yes!
Great, my brother is here.
Now, l can only kiss your hair.
Wisely!
You go first,
let me handle my brother.
Brother, it's not his fault.
You get back!
Brother, this is not fair.
You've a gun, he hasn't.
We'll meet again
in David's cottage in Nepal.
Take care of yourself.
l'll be alright.
Wisely, don't run, go after him!
Brother!
Quick, drive faster!
Grasp my hand.
Wisely!
Brother, you are always impulsive.
l asked him to take me here.
He respects me all the way.
l've said l'd kill him myself.
Yet, he saved me instead.
What did you say?
He saved me.
Where is he?
l say where is he!
Wisely!
Don't go, it's quicksand out there.
Sue, don't be like this.
Sue, is there anything...
He said he's going to be alright.
Sue, where're you going?
l promised to help,
l'm going to do so till the end.
Ok, l'll go with you.
You two get off.
- Watch out for anyone suspicious
- Yes!
Brother, do you think
that child-monk is in trouble?
l hope he is alright.
Otherwise who is going to take us
to the village?
Oh, no, there's disaster.
Master, what have you sensed?
Master, we are Wisely's friend.
Trust us,
take us to your village!
Kid!
Hey, you!
Stop, l don't come here for a fight.
Too late.
- Ah Hing, catch that kid!
- Yes!
Stop fighting!
Stop!
Quick.
Get away!
- What are you going?
- Watch out!
Take it up.
- What are you going?
- Go away.
No gun!
Quick!
Wonderful!
Brother, please stop.
Wisely!
The Pharaoh said
l ain't qualified to be his mummy.
No one is allowed to go in.
No!
Little master is sitting
at the river bank.
Let's go down!
- Little master.
- Little master, you alright?
Our religion is destined to an end,
it's useless.
No matter what,
let's go up to the village first.
Yes!
lt's so cruel.
Wisely, what kind
of weapon burned them like that?
We better be careful.
Enter Holy Land...
So this is the place
where all of their masters died.
Master, l'm useless.
And can't prevent our religion
from termination.
Please forgive me.
Animal, he's inhuman!
He's no human.
David
Are you alright?
You're still alive?
He didn't kill you?
Because l didn't block his way home,
so l'm alive.
That dragon pearl is a computer.
What are you saying?
lt's not the kind
of computer men use.
lt's a computer that can communicate
with our brains.
No, no, adult brains
are too corrupted to be influenced.
lt can only
influence infant's brain.
He must be scared.
No, it may be true.
lt's true, lt's truly true.
Over there!
Drop your guns.
Wisely, before this place
is totally destroyed.
You guys must leave quickly.
What are you?
Why did kill you all those monks.
l'm not one of you.
Listen,
l'll kill whoever tries to stop me.
You're too cruel.
You slaughter animals for food,
isn't it cruel?
So what's cruelty
when l only killed those monks?
Humans are different from animals.
Our intelligence excel yours.
Killing you is similar
to your killing of animals.
You are on our soil.
And we do have our law and order.
Robbing the dragon pearl
is already illegal,
And killing so many people
is even more unforgivable.
Robbing the dragon pearl?
Let me tell you.
What you call ''Dragon Pearl''
is a solar pilot device
left by our ancestors.
lt's also the only thing
that can lead me home.
You thought it's scared,
it's a mere misunderstanding.
Actually, it should be ours.
He seems to be telling the truth.
- You bring me back their lives.
- Little master.
Guardians!
Don't go,
there's no way you can win him.
Get lost!
The pearl!
Come with me!
the dragon pearl!
Hold me tight!
So you are satisfied,
now, he is dying.
Give him back, please,
it belongs to him.
So our religion is a mistake.
- How come the ground is moving?
- Come on.
We are moving towards the mountain.
Jump to the other side.
Ah Hing!
Go quickly!
He's going down, we better go up.
Earthquake!
Earthquake! Run...quick!
Look...they're heading to us!
Look, be careful!
A way out!
lt's a dragon!
Dragon is not new in our legends.
lt has acquired many vivid descriptions.
Although there is no way
to prove its existence.
l believe these must have their grounds.
Had our ancestors actually seen
the same dragon we're seeing now?
Many myths and legends on this earth,
are they traces of
those outer space visitors?
With our limited intelligence
to explore the universe.
Can we really find the answer?
The money?
Who are you?
Me...l'm David Ko, of course.
David Ko is less than 5 ft. tall.
You want to fake him?
Chop off your head first!
What you want is the pearl,
and this one is real.
You're right, the pearl is a fake,
but not this gun.
Don't move, that's it, don't move...
This way it's not going to move,
Wisely.
How come you know my name?
You don't have to know how l knew.
Mr. Howard Hope is waiting for you.
Take home as your souvenir!
How are you? Mr. Wisely.
Hope you don't mind me
reading your notes.
l'm Howard Hope.
Our lady friend just ruined
my whole day's effort.
And without my permission,
you read my notes.
lf you were me, would you mind?
You believe
that extraterritorial looks so ugly?
This is creativity,
and it's called imagination.
lf you do come across them.
Please take a picture for me.
l come to ask you
to find someone for me.
You make a mistake,
l write science fictions.
Not classified ads for want.
You don't have to do that
to find David Ko, do you?
l'm sorry, l can't help you.
David Ko has been missing
for 3 years.
You and David are old pals.
You two grew up together.
His father, Prof. Ko,
treated you as his son.
So you've done some research.
What does David has to do with you.
l can't tell you right now.
Ok, come again
when you're ready to tell me.
Howard Hope is one of the richest
in the world.
He retreated to Egypt many years ago
and never shows up
in public any more.
Why does he want to find David?
What a coincidence.
Just as l said l couldn't find David
he finds me instead.
The legend said
that a dragon had once flown over Nepal
and left a pearl,
which could intelligence.
Of course, many people believe
it is ridiculous.
David's father has spent half of
his lifetime to find this dragon pearl.
When he died,
all of his work were passed to David.
l believe Howard Hope wants
to find David
must have something to do
with the dragon pearl.
David finds me all so suddenly.
Wonder what kind of trouble
he runs into this time
- sir...buy a mask.
- No, thanks.
lt's beautiful...Really beautiful.
Buy one!
Here!
Keep it...
You're generous, thank you, bye-bye!
l'm David!
Over there!
Let's run, quick!
Get them!
Move, don't block the way!
Follow me, this way!
l was afraid
that you wouldn't recognize me.
Who are you?
Me...l am David.
Still kidding me after so many years?
You don't look like this
in the past?
When you're doing fine,
no one can find you.
You find me so urgently,
you must be in some trouble.
Who says it's trouble?
Now even the big guy need my help.
You know who he is?
lt's Pak Kei-wei of the Ching Gang.
This guy is really some big shot.
He has already deposited
$2,000,000 in the bank.
Too bad it's his own account.
Such a big deal,
sure l have to count you in.
No more bullshit,
you could not find it?
Don't underestimate me,
l've already found the pearl.
You find it? Where is it?
lt's in this mountain village.
Too bad it is in the possession
of an evil religion.
As soon as they discover me,
they'll try to kill me.
Were those monks after you?
They aren't bald.
Yeah, seems that they have hair.
Balds aren't always monks,
then monks aren't all bald.
What's the matter?
Sorry, l thought you're someone else.
You scare me!
For you...and you.
That settles it.
No, look,
even my instrument was broken.
How am l going to find my next job?
Enough for a new one?
12th Dec,
the new master shall emerge.
The old master has passed away.
With the aid of the pearl,
l've made it through.
Today, is the only day in your life
that you can see the pearl.
So here l bless each and everyone
of you.
You aren't one of us,
what are you doing here?
Catch him!
Hold it!
Catch him! Hold it!
Don't be mistaken,
l come here to find a friend.
My foot!
Little master is in danger!
Be careful, little master!
- Hang on, little master.
- Take care of little master.
Stop him!
Catch him!
Use the net.
Help me.
Some kind of mass, ha?
Let's get away first.
Let's go!
There!
You go this way, you go that way,
the rest follow me.
Wait...Let's take a rest,
it's Ok now.
l always know you can straighten it out.
What the hell were you doing indeed?
Don't worry,
there will be advantage for you.
To hell l believe you.
Run!
Horses! Over there!
Lend it to me, will you!
What? The horse is mine.
Go!
l beg you.
Wisely.
Come back!
Help me! Come back.
Quick!
Give me back my horse.
lt's bumpy.
Hold tight.
Quick, they're right behind, Help!
Get down.
- Down.
- What?
David, are you alright?
No problem.
Beware what's behind you.
Get on the plane?
Start the engine.
Hold on tight.
Who stabs my back?
- Damn it!
- My dragon pearl!
Coconut?
Go!
Why are you so nervous?
There's a whole box at the back.
You really scare me.
lt's all yours
They're gone...
You lied to me and used me
to distract those monks.
So that you could steal the pearl.
lf l said l need your help
to steal something.
You're so straight...no.
You're so smart,
sure you won't do it.
Don't we make it now?
You did!
No, l've already counted you in.
Otherwise,
how can we say we are pals?
When we returned,
Mr. Pak Kei-wei will take care of us.
Even if those monks follow us
all the way to Hong Kong.
We've nothing to be afraid of,
don't we?
l don't find those monks evil at all.
lt's you.
What is it?
What?
Yes, why is it like this?
Exactly what has happened?
Smoke! What are we going to do?
lt's out of control.
No reason at all.
lt's too late,
there's a river down there, let's jump.
What's holding me back, what is it?
David...
- The dragon pearl
- has been stolen by your friend
and he has left Nepal already.
Good guess,
except he died in a plane crash.
l didn't guess it.
Do you believe in the 3rd eye!
Extra-sensory-perception.
That's right,
it's the ESP that you're now thinking of.
All our masters have our 3rd eye
opened by the pearl.
l'm too young
l can only feel those that are near.
And sometimes
l can't feel anything at all.
Your friend has left,
and l can do nothing about it.
ls David still alive?
ln your world,
the pearl can only cause trouble.
But to our religion,
it is everything.
l do wish that you can help us
to find the pearl.
Actually it has nothing to do
B219with me.
l know you've nothing to do
with this
and you were framed
by your friend only.
He heard it again?
ln this distance,
of course l can feel it.
But sometimes l make mistakes.
l also figure out
you're an righteous man,
and you're going to help us.
ls my feeling correct?
lf my friend is really still alive.
l'll make him return the pearl
to you.
Then l will wait for you here.
ln today's world, ESP has already
been proven to its existence.
But for a five years old kid,
saying that he acquires this ability
through the pearl.
ls really hard to believe.
Nevertheless,
l still wish that David is alive.
l am Howard Hope, remember me?
lf you don't remember, it's alright.
Confused?
l ain't confused, Mr. Wisely.
l'm talking to you
via Tele-intercom.
Where are you?
l'm always in Egypt.
Last time you said
l could find you when l'm ready.
Now l can tell you.
But to avoid being overheard
by someone else.
l've sent my assistant to talk
to you in person.
however, l'd still like to say hello
to you first.
Wishing our co-operation
will be successful.
Living in a yatch,
you're pretty fancy, ha?
Why are you sailing my boat
out to sea?
l don't want anyone else
to hear our conversation.
l come to Hong Kong
to get the pearl.
Wisely,
you should know where David is now.
l'm looking for him as well.
Wisely, l know you'll be fine.
lt's all settled now,
l'm busy studying the pearl.
The big guy is treating me
as his brother.
Come and see me.
There'll be advantages for you.
See you soon!
This is for you.
Since you know David so well.
lt's easy for you
to make him return the pearl to us.
The pearl belongs to him?
That's right,
it belongs to his ancestors.
Wrong, the pearl belongs
to a very old religion.
l'll go find David
to return the pearl.
But not to you,
l'll send it back to the monks.
How much they offered you,
we'll pay 10 times more.
lt's free of charge,
and l bear my own expenses.
ls $3,000,000. Enough?
l mean US dollars.
l believe our discussion ends here?
Just name your price, Wisely.
Where do you want me to drop you?
lf Mr. Hope didn't ask me to come.
l wouldn't even bother to deal
with you this way.
l don't know what this woman
is going to do next.
But she doesn't look
she's easy to handle.
She'll soon find out where David is.
l must be ahead of her.
Thanks!
Terrific.
isn't he Wisely?
Pardon me, Mr. Pak,
l didn't mean to...
Excuse me, Miss,
l don't know you are.
You did it on purpose.
l was only playing not for real?
Let me explain,
l don't know you are a lady.
Still take my advantage?
Stay there, l can handle him.
OK l lose, Miss Sue Pak.
How come you know my name?
Who told you?
Why are you here?
Are you looking for me?
lf you are, why don't you say so?
ls it because you want
to try out my martial arts?
l'm asking you questions
why don't you answer?
You asked me so many questions
in such a short time.
l need some time to think them over.
Oh yes,
one has to lie down to think.
ln fact, l came to look for your brother.
l am Wisely.
So you think
the whole world knows you, Wisely?
Pak Sue...
Miss Pak,
you name is really special.
Can l borrow it?
What, you want to change your surname?
No, l like to use it
for my heroine in my new book.
The leading character...
l got it,
all the leading role's name in your
books were borrowed just like this.
No, this is the first time
l used this idea.
So you admit is a trick?
Brother, this is Wisely.
Wisely, adventurer, sci-fi writer
intelligent and heroic man,
it's my honor to meet you.
Pak Kei-wei,
God Father of the Ching Gang.
Chief of the underground.
Go on flattering one another.
Wisely, nice to meet you, bye-bye.
Yes, David said that
in the Himalayas.
Without your help
lt's impossible for him
to get the pearl.
This is a $300,000 cheque
to cover your expenses.
Mr. Pak, l came here is
to ask David for the pearl.
Mr. Wisely, do you realize
how much time and money.
l've spent on this project.
l sponsored David
to find this dragon pearl,
and provided him with everything
for his research.
What does it have to do with you?
You just wish to keep it
for yourself.
This pearl is a matter of life
and death to a religion.
and to a lot of men.
Take care of your life first.
You'll live longer
if your mind your own business.
Yes...
l won't give up just like that.
Mr. Pak, look at me.
Now the monks wouldn't recognize me!
l'm not as handsome
as when l'd my beard and long hair.
l'm interested in the pearl,
not your face.
Have you got
the analysis report yet?
Not yet!
l've tried all test,
but it has no response at all.
l don't even know
what it is made of?
So far you've spent a huge portion
of my money.
And yet not even a report
is finished.
l always hate being cheated.
Mr. Pak, you must be kidding,
l wouldn't dare...
l always hate kidding.
You said you needed one year
to find the pearl.
l trusted you.
But you've spent 3 years.
Then you said
you needed Wisely again l trusted you.
ln face you set him up.
l...
You told me,
if it's not Wisely's help.
lt's impossible to make it.
- You told me gave him some credits.
- Yes.
l prepared a $300,000 cheque
for him.
But he asked me
to return the pearl instead.
l really don't know he would...
Forget it,
l don't come here for your explanation.
Not until you find out anything
about this pearl.
You are going to remain in this room
Wow, God Father is a hard man.
lsn't it like in jail.
So she's so many of my novels.
l thought you were nude.
Why are you here?
l don't come here for you.
So you are not here for me.
l am looking for David
helped your brother to rob the pearl
from a religion
which directly affects the fate
of the religion.
l've promised their little master
that l'm going to return it to them.
Regard you argued
with my brother outside the door.
l agree that he is pushing too far.
Hide in my bed.
Who is it?
lt's me.
Come in, brother!
Already in bed?
Aren't you used to read?
You read this guy's novel again.
Did Wisely say anything to you?
Not at all, why do you ask?
l was afraid
that you'll be cheated by others
Cheated?
You know that whoever cheats me.
Will be fooled.
Fooling others is wrong.
l know,
brother, l can tell right from wrong.
ln face, l'm not happy
in the way you got this pearl.
For years,
father had tried every mean to find this.
l've to accomplish what he'd failed.
lf he knew how you got this pearl.
You're in big trouble.
Sue, do you feel that
with a father of such caliber,
is in fact a burden? Go to sleep!
Sleep early.
Reading too much of these
will led you to insanity.
Wake up, stupid...wake up.
Are you asleep?
Hey...you haven't fainted,
are you? Wake up!
Want my mouth-to-mouth
resuscitation?
Wisely, you better leave!
Wait, let me ask you
lf the Ching Gangs' emblem is stolen
What will happen to Ching Gang?
No more credibility and unity
For them the dragon pearl
has the same function.
l understand your brother's feeling.
lt's not easy
being a great man's children.
But he shouldn't do
whatever he wanted.
To prove himself, don't you agree?
Please don't argue with him
face to face.
Then help me secretly!
Wake up...
Are those monks here?
l told you to return the pearl
to those monks.
What? They will give us credits?
Bullshit, where's the pearl?
Miss Pak, you make the decision!
Hand it to him.
You are going to be responsible
for this.
Quick, let's go
lf you do this,
please might as well shoot me.
Miss Pak,
you know your brother's temperament.
lf he takes the pearl
and leaves me here.
l'll be a dead man.
Since l'll be dead anyway,
l'd rather go with you.
lt's all your fault,
and you have
to bear the consequence.
Wisely, l know it's my fault,
l sold you out.
Are we pals?
Then shoot me.
Couldn't careless.
Come...Come on!
Take the gun,
hold me as your hostage.
Take it.
Wisely, you aren't kidding with me,
are you?
Do l look like it?
Brother, don't come any closer.
Wisely has promised not to hurt me.
Let them go!
OK, l'll let you go!
But if you dare to lay one finger
on my sister
l'll guarantee
that you can never hide from me!
Let them go!
Go!
Don't look at me, he got the gun!
Shut up!
Don't come close!
This car, get in!
Go!
Smart of you
to use this trick to escape.
Look!
What is it?
Let's go!
Open fire!
My hand...
You're so stupid.
What is it?
Grenade!
They're right behind.
You brother is a cruel man
sending these commandos.
My brother knows
l'm here he wouldn't send his men.
He wouldn't.
Who sends them?
l know.
Oh, no!
lt's a cul-de-sac!
Look!
There's a cliff on the side.
What are we going to do?
There's a spur in the front,
let's bet on this!
Jump!
Up!
Wisely, help me!
Don't hurt him,
Mr. Hope wants him alive.
Hey, you're pressing me again.
Sorry!
What are we going to do?
Go and find Howard Hope directly.
Howard Hope?
What does he have to do with this?
Those are his men.
They'll return to Egypt immediately.
Great,
l've never been to Egypt before.
Sue, l can't take you there.
ln that case, l will take you.
lt's too dangerous over there.
Then it's even more important
for me to take you.
Stop kidding.
Do l look kidding with you?
Once l make a promise, l'll keep it.
Am l a irresponsible woman?
No!
Then you?
l really can't take you with me.
- Sue!
- No matter how you beg me.
l wont' take you.
l really want you to come,
but it's too dangerous.
Ok, you don't have to beg,
l'll take you.
Why such a long face?
Why camel, when we can take a cab.
Come on! This is more romantic.
Hey...get up!
lt's now that's the most romantic.
So this is really romantic.
Exactly who is this rattlesnake
that you mentioned?
l've heard that in Egypt,
this guy has all the connections.
But l've never met him before.
Don't worry,
as long as he is in this business.
He is going to give us some respect.
When we get there,
l'll show him our Gang's badge
and everything will be alright.
Look, a Chinese archaeology team.
Folks...
How are you?
Nothing!
Look, the sun, it's so beautiful.
Look like it is going to drop
into sand.
Watch out
we don't get slip into the sand first.
Do you know under this desert.
ls the old city of Cala.
lf we step on any quicksand.
You'll be lucky if you died
of suffocation instantly.
Or you may find yourself trapped
in the city of life.
Do you have anything
against romanticism?
Are we leaving tomorrow?
Even it is a ruin up there
l'm still going back.
lt's my homeland anyway.
Are you sure you want to go with me?
When my home was at war,
l decided to leave.
As l got here,
my ship crashed but l didn't mind.
Only l can't get rid
of that home-sick feeling.
You've already seen my miseries.
So why follows my footsteps
to be an immigrant?
l won't be afraid as long
as l am with you.
Maybe we humans are easier
to be satisfied.
l wonder if she is a woman slave?
What? You want to know how much
and buy one!
No!
The sky is our father,
the land is our mother.
The world united together,
Pak Sue pays her regards.
l believe he has nothing to do
with the Ching Gang.
Let me try the badge
of the Koi Gang.
You are member of the Koi Gang?
So we are both Chinese,
how nice, how nice.
l came from Hong Kong too, look!
Buddies, if you need anything,
just let me know.
We need your help to find a person.
A man or a woman?
A man!
A man, no problem.
You prefer fat guy or thin guy.
l ain't gay,
l want to find a man
called Howard Hope.
You too don't be mistaken.
You too don't be mistaken.
Haven't seen Chinese for so long,
let's take a picture.
l'll take care of it.
Come back in 3 hours
and l'll be ready for you.
Thanks.
l wonder how much does one cost?
You really want to buy one?
l'm only kidding.
That guy is going to betray us.
How do you know?
He is no rattlesnake,
he's a snake with 2 heads.
He had betrayed one of my friends.
Who had to take the midnight express
to Hong Kong.
So you did this
B614on purpose letting him to betray us.
Smart, in figuring out
such simple problem.
Hey, you're mean.
You're so humble in your books.
Writer, writer,
writing is a creative matter.
Hey, if you're going to use my name
in your new book.
How are you going to write about me?
l'll write you as a more tender,
more mature.
More intelligent, more feminine.
More friendly, more...
So you mean l ain't tender enough,
mature enough.
- Feminine enough
- Look!
Pal!
When he mentioned your name,
l knew it's my chance.
Few Chinese are as smart as l am.
See how smart this guy looks.
But anyway,
l fooled him and l took this picture.
And here's the picture.
l've already drawn you the map.
Why insist on taking me
the mountain village.
lf those monks see me,
they will kill me.
Go!
l really can't go, Madam.
l have to go.
Boss, l betray my own folks.
Simply to show my loyalty.
But now, my mouth is dry.
lf there is any water,
it will be terrific!
l'm rich.
Have you seen Howard Hope?
Yes, l have seen him.
Have you seen a shorty?
Yes.
Have you seen a ball-like object.
One? lt used to be in pair.
How many guard are there?
Many, and they all have guns.
Hey, you sound as though you want
to find him! Now.
What you say is rubbish.
Then just ask one question.
What?
Ask me where he is!
Where?
He's gone, through the rear gate.
Where to?
What's there for me? Wait,
l'll tell you.
They're going to take that shorty
to some mountain.
Mountain village...this is for you.
They're coming!
Who are they?
Certainly not one of us.
lt is shake badly.
Are you wearing any dentures or wig.
No!
That's better!
The car can't go up anymore.
Boss, what's next?
- Get rid of them!
- Yes!
Great, my brother is here.
Now, l can only kiss your hair.
Wisely!
You go first,
let me handle my brother.
Brother, it's not his fault.
You get back!
Brother, this is not fair.
You've a gun, he hasn't.
We'll meet again
in David's cottage in Nepal.
Take care of yourself.
l'll be alright.
Wisely, don't run, go after him!
Brother!
Quick, drive faster!
Grasp my hand.
Wisely!
Brother, you are always impulsive.
l asked him to take me here.
He respects me all the way.
l've said l'd kill him myself.
Yet, he saved me instead.
What did you say?
He saved me.
Where is he?
l say where is he!
Wisely!
Don't go, it's quicksand out there.
Sue, don't be like this.
Sue, is there anything...
He said he's going to be alright.
Sue, where're you going?
l promised to help,
l'm going to do so till the end.
Ok, l'll go with you.
You two get off.
- Watch out for anyone suspicious
- Yes!
Brother, do you think
that child-monk is in trouble?
l hope he is alright.
Otherwise who is going to take us
to the village?
Oh, no, there's disaster.
Master, what have you sensed?
Master, we are Wisely's friend.
Trust us,
take us to your village!
Kid!
Hey, you!
Stop, l don't come here for a fight.
Too late.
- Ah Hing, catch that kid!
- Yes!
Stop fighting!
Stop!
Quick.
Get away!
- What are you going?
- Watch out!
Take it up.
- What are you going?
- Go away.
No gun!
Quick!
Wonderful!
Brother, please stop.
Wisely!
The Pharaoh said
l ain't qualified to be his mummy.
No one is allowed to go in.
No!
Little master is sitting
at the river bank.
Let's go down!
- Little master.
- Little master, you alright?
Our religion is destined to an end,
it's useless.
No matter what,
let's go up to the village first.
Yes!
lt's so cruel.
Wisely, what kind
of weapon burned them like that?
We better be careful.
Enter Holy Land...
So this is the place
where all of their masters died.
Master, l'm useless.
And can't prevent our religion
from termination.
Please forgive me.
Animal, he's inhuman!
He's no human.
David
Are you alright?
You're still alive?
He didn't kill you?
Because l didn't block his way home,
so l'm alive.
That dragon pearl is a computer.
What are you saying?
lt's not the kind
of computer men use.
lt's a computer that can communicate
with our brains.
No, no, adult brains
are too corrupted to be influenced.
lt can only
influence infant's brain.
He must be scared.
No, it may be true.
lt's true, lt's truly true.
Over there!
Drop your guns.
Wisely, before this place
is totally destroyed.
You guys must leave quickly.
What are you?
Why did kill you all those monks.
l'm not one of you.
Listen,
l'll kill whoever tries to stop me.
You're too cruel.
You slaughter animals for food,
isn't it cruel?
So what's cruelty
when l only killed those monks?
Humans are different from animals.
Our intelligence excel yours.
Killing you is similar
to your killing of animals.
You are on our soil.
And we do have our law and order.
Robbing the dragon pearl
is already illegal,
And killing so many people
is even more unforgivable.
Robbing the dragon pearl?
Let me tell you.
What you call ''Dragon Pearl''
is a solar pilot device
left by our ancestors.
lt's also the only thing
that can lead me home.
You thought it's scared,
it's a mere misunderstanding.
Actually, it should be ours.
He seems to be telling the truth.
- You bring me back their lives.
- Little master.
Guardians!
Don't go,
there's no way you can win him.
Get lost!
The pearl!
Come with me!
the dragon pearl!
Hold me tight!
So you are satisfied,
now, he is dying.
Give him back, please,
it belongs to him.
So our religion is a mistake.
- How come the ground is moving?
- Come on.
We are moving towards the mountain.
Jump to the other side.
Ah Hing!
Go quickly!
He's going down, we better go up.
Earthquake!
Earthquake! Run...quick!
Look...they're heading to us!
Look, be careful!
A way out!
lt's a dragon!
Dragon is not new in our legends.
lt has acquired many vivid descriptions.
Although there is no way
to prove its existence.
l believe these must have their grounds.
Had our ancestors actually seen
the same dragon we're seeing now?
Many myths and legends on this earth,
are they traces of
those outer space visitors?
With our limited intelligence
to explore the universe.
Can we really find the answer?
