No!
No, not my business!
Don't kill me!
Let me go!
Not my business!
There was a story saying that, ten years ago,
a big and notorious troop of mounted bandits
were killed by a guy who was as terrible as the God of Death.
Not anyone could escape.
No one knows who this guy is.
No one knows where this guy comes from.
No one knows his name either.
So, the people called him...
The killer.
What the hell was happened on that night?
Why did he kill so many people?
No one knows the truth.
But, all believe that.
This must be related with a woman.
After that night,
he marked the boundary by stabbing a sword there.
He opened a hotel, the Peace Hotel.
In the following ten years,
This hotel let many poor people
who are utterly helpless stay.
At that time, there was such an understanding among the people that.
No matter what a person did,
no matter who he offended.
If only he reaches the Peace Hotel alive,
his foes could not pass the sword and went into the hotel.
No one could harm that person's life again.
And the Peace Hotel
will never bother the affairs between them.
They won't support anyone.
They won't protect anyone to leave.
In these ten years, no one dares mess up in this Peace Hotel.
And Peace Hotel has never broken the rule to send anyone out.
Until the arrival of this woman.
Please give me a deluxe room.
I want a hot water bath. If ready, I'll be in the restaurant.
Please give me a glass of wine.
And if there is any precious food,
just bring me some.
You have no money!
How dare you cheat with this fake stuff?
Right!You know,
so many nasty people are living in this hotel.
How dare you swindle here? Don't you want trouble?
Why don't you show this ring
to your boss first?
Bring some food to me at once.
If I get starved, you will be in trouble.
Go and get it now!
You'd' better tell him...
I didn't intend to have any re-union.
Tell him to serve me a room, I will stay two days only.
I won't see him again.
I don't want him to care about my business.
Do you know our boss
who you have just mentioned...
is the notorious Killer?
Right!
I don't know Killer.
I just know he is my damn husband.
If I could choose again,
I wish I had never met this guy!
Got it?
Boss has had a lover.
He established this hotel in order to wait for her return.
Boss...
The woman who you have waited for 10 years is back!
The man who bought my virginity...
lied on me like a mountain.
I cried.
I heard those procurers and procuresses crying.
They cried one after another.
I knew it's him.
He killed all the procurers and procuresses.
Did he kill the man and save you?
How are you?
- A boy without trousers! - Return it to me!
Here...
When he reached the 2nd floor,
I was already raped by that man.
So bad!
I'll never stop blaming him for the rest of my life.
Why was he so late?
Come on, wear the trousers,
Don't let your dick catch cold.
- Come on.
- Please wear it. - No.
I traveled with him from province to province.
His foes kept on chasing us.
He killed whoever came.
Once he showed his sword, he would not let anyone alive.
Once he saw blood, he would never stop.
Dare you do that again?
- You are a big creep! - Yes, I am a creep.
How dare you?
I am sorry...please don't hit me that heavily!
You are a big wolf!
Dare you do that again?
Please hit slightly!
- How dare you? - It's just for fun!
- Dare you do that again? - Stop!
Or I will be angry with you.
Dare you do that again?
He killed and he lost his mind.
He killed those deserved to be killed and those who didn't.
He killed men and beast too.
He killed whatever movable in front of him!
He couldn't forget seeing
that man raping me.
He released himself by killing.
For me. He became an insane killer.
Shit...please don't cry!
Is your ass stabbed by the branches inside the forest?
10 years ago, I was pregnant.
I followed him to his station.
I was going to deliver.
When I was delivering, I held his hand and said,
" wish there would be”
"a Peace hotel."
"Once getting there,"
"we won't be afraid of enemies' revenge"
"We needn't hide a gun under the pillow when sleeping.”
Don't cry, this is my fault.
I love you, kid, don't cry.
He showed me the baby.
That's the first time I saw our son.
His little eyes were not yet opened.
He was sucking his own little fists.
Suddenly!
Bang!
Promise me, don't tell your mom about the trousers.
All right? Promise me please.
Come on, have a kiss.
Come on, I am sorry, .
Come on, let me kiss you.
He killed everyone in the station, so what?
He opened the Peace Hotel,
Because of my words, so what?
He saved
so many people's lives in these 10 years, so what?
Our son was still the same...
He was dead!
Mistress, please give Boss a chance.
He is totally different now!
He is so nice to people!
Say us, we dare not go out of the station.
So he go buying food himself.
In these 10 years, he is quite lonely.
He hasn't known any other women.
- My son is his only playmate. - Yeah.
He regrets so much! Why not give him a chance?
Right, Mistress, please give Boss a chance.
Stop!
Boss...
I forgot to buy your mom medicine for hemorrhoid piles.
She will babble again!
We forgot to buy a bra for Auntie Skinny,
she will cry.
Boss...
Don't blame me!
I have to buy
so many things for you all,
It's not surprise for me to forget one or two.
Never mind!
Someone will keep you warm at night soon.
Boss, Mistress has returned!
Yeah...
Have you bought the thing I need?
Where is the slippers I want?
Your letters!
Thank you...
I am sorry to hide inside your room.
Are you the Mistress
who our Boss has waited for 10 years?
What mistress? I am a fake.
All people are nasty here.
Don't you worry your identity would be disclosed?
No, my family will come here soon.
Do you know my surname?
Soong.
Soong Tze-wen is my elder brother.
Soong Ching-ling and Soong Mei-ling are my sisters.
I've been here for ages,
I don't know much about the outside world.
How about Chiang Kai-shek and Sun Yat-sen?
They are my brother-in-laws.
They are financially supported by our family to the president
And the Generalissimo.
I just know the Emperor Ping of the Soong Dynasty.
And a guy named Soong who delivers food.
Emperor Ping of the Soong Dynasty is my dad.
The Soong who delivers food is my grandpa.
You are daughter of the Emperor Soong?
So, are you a princess?
Can't you imagine that?
Well! Can you lend me...
some money to rent a room?
When my family comes, I will pay you 10 times of it.
How much do you want?
As much as you can.
If you lend me more,
maybe, I can let you be an official.
Thank you.
Well, may be I sleep with you.
Just pay me some money.
$10 by hours and $20 by night.
If you think I am terrific, get some clients for me.
I will give you commission.
No! The Boss of this hotel is so stubborn.
He won't let others hook and gamble here.
Living here is like staying in prison.
He won't let everyone step out of the hotel.
You'd better go after taking your bath.
I'll leave your some coins.
That's enough for you to hire a store room.
Why don't you counter offer a price?
What a dummy!
Pal, come on, cheers!
Boss, don't kill me!
Mistress.
Music!
Mistress...
You are so pretty!
I am not hungry.
Open a bottle of wine for me please.
And bring me some snacks for the wine.
Take more bottles of wine here, I will take them to my room later.
And, bring more cigarettes for me please.
Sit, you must be tired.
Coming...
When I see Mistress wearing your clothes,
I know you two have become reconciled.
Yeah...
I've said, for woman,
She will forget all hatred after making love.
Damn you creep!
Boss...
You have brought so many followers while you are in fugitive,
I can tell you are a big Boss.
Have I seen you before?
I came here after sunset.
Why do you come here?
I killed.
Miss, how about you?
Me?
I stole a piece of national treasure.
If you want it, just offer a price.
See this fountain pen, if you can take it out,
And find a buyer, you will be rich!
Let me show you.
Open like this.
I have got one upstairs which is of the same look.
How can you compare yours with mine?
This pen was used by Emperor Hsin-feng
for signing insulting treaty.
See this lighter.
It's opened in this way.
I have one which is of the same look.
How can you compare yours with mine?
You know? Lin Tsi-hsui used this to burn the opium!
This watch is great too!
What's its historical background?
Have you ever heard of Emperor Ping of the Soong Dynasty?
Sure...
This was the favorable watch of Emperor Ping.
When he died, he wanted this to be buried with him.
Let me show you.
Don't pull too hard.
It's opened like this!
See! There is a picture of Emperor Ping!
You swindled and then stole.
Just take it back.
And you want to rob too?
Please mind your words.
You can't insult me like this.
Do you know who I am?
The daughter of Emperor Ping.
Dog, Bitch.
Skinny, Fook, Sau.
Yes, coming...
- Who am 1? - Mistress.
Anything wrong...Boss?
Nothing happened, let me help you.
I am going to get changed.
Take everything to my room later.
What are you doing?
She is choked.
Boss, Mistress is choked by the sour plum.
Don't you ever touch my stuff.
Return everything you have stolen from my room.
My ring.
What are you doing?
Behind the screen.
How about sleeping with you for the rent?
Where did you work, Seven Skies Nightclub or Paramont Nightclub?
Paramont Nightclub.
You know using the rouge of Fa Heung Hall.
Wearing the cheongsam of the Lo Kai Fook Tailor's.
But you wear such ugly shoes.
I don't think you have been a clubgirl for long.
Six months?
No.
Five months.
Why do you come here? Gambling?
Do you owe the loan shark money?
They want me to pay with my body.
I paid and they didn't admit that.
I was so angry, so I took a pair of scissors.
I stabbed into the ass of the loan shark.
That's why he sent someone to kill me.
But, I know some rascals too.
Maybe they can help me.
Don't you want more trouble?
Do you want such person to help you?
And then you want to pay them by your body too?
Take a seat.
Are you Cantonese?
I have seen many Cantonese snacks inside your bag.
Do you have any family?
If you have a family, just go home.
Stay here
if only you are utterly helpless.
Tomorrow,
there will be a train to the South passing here at 6 am.
Leave from the front yard.
I hope you would get onto the train alive.
Go and take a room downstairs.
Thank you.
Take this for your funeral, you asshole!
The water is cold, do you know adding some hot water?
Bring some ginseng tea for us.
You are blind, you don't need to sleep, do you?
Mistress, we can't stand it any more.
Let's play tonight.
Yeah...
I lose much money.
Well,
just forget the money I owe you, is that alright?
No way...
So, keep on betting.
Don't cry in front of me.
Tell me!
What have you done before coming to the Peace Hotel?
I used a pair of scissors to stab into the ass of a small potato.
Small potato?
The small potato has some followers.
Get out.
Don't you think they come for me?
I am not that capable.
Shau Siu-man, you killed our senior.
Get out of here at once!
Who is Shau Siu-man?
Who killed their senior?
Confess now!
The one in red cheongsam.
The on in red pyjamas! Oh, it's you!
Not me...None of my business.
Aren't they coming for you?
Of course not!
If I was wrong, I would have been your servant!
Right,ll stabbed the one
who is lying on the cart.
But I did stab his ass twice only.
He could chase after me for along way by that time.
I didn't know why he was dead suddenly.
What are you doing? Drop the gun.
Haven't you fought enough before?
Are you the Killer?
The bitch inside you hotel
killed our boss.
Hand her out at once.
That bitch stabbed him with a pair of scissors first.
Then she took his gun and treated him with 7 shots.
She stole 30 gold bars from our Grand Hall.
I don't care
whether she killed you boss or not,
since I opened the Peace Hotel,
I don't wish anyone
to mess up my place.
If you respect the dead, take him away now.
Bury him as soon as possible.
Don't you think this rusty sword...
could forbid us
from taking the woman and the gold?
We are all killers.
How many people have you ever killed?
Our boss has killed as many as you did.
But I am different from you!
Everyone saw me killing.
If you don't hand me the woman and the gold,
I will come and get her myself,
and I would like to see
whether you can kill all of us or not!
If you are so single minded, I have nothing to say.
I can't rehearse killing in front of you.
I have to ensure
the safety of everyone staying in the Peace Hotel.
If you want to get her by force, I am glad to play with you.
If I can't kill that woman within 21 days,
I will disperse my Grand Hall.
When will you send me away?
It's a piece of cake for me to kick you away.
Search the place where she has ever been.
See whether she did hid the gold of the Grand Hall or not.
Yes!
If I had gold, I wouldn't have been that helpless now.
Mistress, you should be blamed!
Why did you mess up with those bastards?
In these ten years, I have been alone...
Do you still pretend to the Mistress?
Isn't she the Mistress?
Isn't she the woman who you have waited for 10 years?
I haven't waited for any woman.
If anyone pretends to be my woman again,
just kick her out of here.
Aren't you the Mistress?
How about the money you borrowed?
Return my money...
If that woman comes out, just kill her.
Get lost! Go and clean the floor, you bitch!
Clean the toilet later!
Wash the bowls.
Prepare the dinner!
And make soup for us!
Boss, why not hand that woman to them?
Yeah...
Good idea.
If your foe comes tomorrow,
I will hand you out too.
- I am sorry. - I don't mean it.
Boss doesn't want to kick the woman away.
He must have slept with her last night.
No need to wait, let's eat.
- Boss, let's eat. - Let's eat.
This what I can do.
You'd better send my away,
$0 you won't have much trouble.
- Hold her. - Damn it!
Make her drink every drops of it.
My husband and my children...
They are waiting for me at home.
My husband has got lung disease.
That's why I worked in the Paramont Nightclub.
I miss my children so much!
Return the picture to Skinny.
I forgot to bring my family picture with me.
Swear!
Then I will tell you a top secret.
In fact, the Grand Hall doesn't aim at me.
They just want my...
Confidential namelist!
Don't you ever touch Doggie's exercise book.
I've told you that's confidential!
Why did you peep at it?
Great!
She deserves it!
Can you claim yourself a human being?
Don't you ever bother me again.
Everyone comes to the Peace Hotel for they don't want to die.
I haven't seen one
who scares death as you do!
Since you have come here,
you'd better regret.
If you escape this time,
I hope you to learn how to be a human being.
Don't waste any time and effort.
No matter what tricks will you play,
I won't send you away.
Go back to your room.
I know how foolish I am.
They come here in order to pick on the Peace Hotel.
I didn't kill, I haven't stolen the gold.
Don't you think you needn't be killed for stabbing that guy?
You know the truth. But you didn't
apologize to me.
And you are like the Buddha to let me stay.
When you are angry,
You just release your anger on me.
You said I lied,
in fact yours is the biggest lie!
If you were pure, you would never have come to the Peace Hotel.
They don't trust you.
If they break in, can you kill them all?
Can you?
If you can, you won't bother anything!
You won't let me wait for death right here!
The Killer opened the Peace Hotel,
it's the biggest lie in the world!
Do you want me to launch a massacre after certain time,
so as to make you believe me to be the Killer?
If you don't trust me, just go out and let them kill you!
Hurry up...
Bring me wine.
Wine!
Freeze.
Go...
Go!
If anyone dares to kill in my hotel,
and around this station,
I will kill without mercy.
And I will kill the men who followed with,
as will as the man behind!
I will kill everyone in his gang too.
Just like the massacre launched on the night of 10 years ago.
Give way...
Place the tables together.
Go and help!
Put her on the table.
You'd better go out.
Go out, don't bother us.
Go out first.
Boss, she is dead.
Boss, she is dead, it's real.
Get out.
Wake up...
Wake up!
She is alright, she is awake.
Wonderful! Those bastards are gone.
Wonderful...
Let's go and take a look.
Let's celebrate!
Come on...
Bet, bet now.
Don't you have to work?
Don't be so much!
Yes, Boss.
Come in.
Boss, I've cooked some fish congee for Miss Siu-man.
Do you have to take care of Doggie?
Just drop it there.
- Just drop it there. - Thank you, Boss.
Small has appeared for 5 times continuously.
I want to bet $10 on Big.
Come on, bet now...
- Bet $10 on big please. - Alright.
Three sixs, all lose.
Well, we lose.
Why didn't you scold me?
I always ask those
who come here to change his temper.
But I haven't changed by bad temper.
I have to learn how to be a human being.
Do you know how my dad taught his son?
My dad was a war-lord, he had 4 wives.
When I was small,
he always held my hand to shoot those he caught.
I didn't know anything but just thought it was funny.
He told me, if I killed one or two,
I would be a killer, I would be a nasty guy.
But when I killed thousands of people,
I would be a hero! A supreme hero.
When I was twelve, he was defeated by others.
His head was chopped off by another hero.
I had nothing but had to run away.
Once I went into a village,
I was so hungry and I was sick.
I stole a sweat potato from the field.
Suddenly a man rounded my neck with a rope.
I fell on the ground and was dragged away by him.
Before I was breathless, I caught a bamboo.
I stabbed him to death!
Later, I was surrounded by 6 strong men.
They beat be with farming tools.
At last, I killed them all.
Do you know...
how the villagers treated
the boy who killed 7 adults?
I stayed in that village for 10 more days.
No one dared to bully me.
Whatever I want to eat.
They didn't say a word.
Before my departure,
5 or 6 boys who were older than me
wanted to follow me.
At that moment,
I strongly believed that my dad's words were true.
The following ten years,
I always remembered his words.
I built up my own gang.
I killed numerous people.
I became a notorious and horrible man.
Until that night...
Was the real mistress
killed on that night?
In fact, you are similar in many ways.
You smoke, you drink and you love gambling.
You are so bold too!
But when she sang on stage,
Terrific! She is so charming!
Come on, have some congee first.
Come on.
Isn't it delicious?
Delicious?
Old man, do you want to go?
The killer shouldn't save that woman.
If I were the man from the Grand Hall,
I'd come back for revenge.
- You big mouth! - Go to hell.
I've said Old Man will leave!
You lose $10.
Stranger, do you want to leave? What's wrong?
The Peace Hotel is not peaceful at all, that's why I have to leave.
Why don't you say a word to Boss?
What should we say? We paid every penny, you remember?
Go!
Go to hell.
Ask them to come back.
Boss, they paid all the rent.
The men from the Grand Hall haven't left.
Go Back...
Hubby, take care of our son!
"I was once lost and disappointed”
"Feeling puzzled and scared in the crowd"
"How can the lost one moor"
"When I find this love"
"I look forward to it"

Boss, why not dance with Miss Shau?
Go dancing! Go!
May I be excused?
Go dancing...
Shit! The men from the Grand Hall come again!
Boss, I am scared!
Damn it! What are you afraid of?
Most of the nasty people are living in this Peace Hotel.
Music.
Our lives
are saved by the Peace Hotel.
Come on, let's dance.
Let's dance and drink!
How dare they mess up our only shelter?
If 12 come, I will kill a dozen.
Let's dance.
I am sorry!
This hotel made you become the scapegoat.
I hope this hotel can save you.
Do you have a wish?
Will you miss me like missing your passed woman?
Go!
Great! Send her away.
You needn't care about us, we won't be scared.
He will go back to the Peace Hotel.
Go.
Go...
Jump onto whatever train you see, and never come back.
If you send me away,
How about you and the hotel?
I won't go.
Go! I don't want you to be beaten to death again.
If you die, whatever I do will be useless.
If you like me, let's run away together.
Hold this.
Beat him...
Have you beaten enough?
I take that Shau Siu-man did kill your buddy.
I haven't kept my promise but send her away.
This is my fault.
My hotel hasn't offended you.
You just want face do you?
Now, you have gained what you wanted.
Forget it, alright?
You are wrong! That bitch did kill my buddy,
and she stole my gold.
But she isn't called Shau Siu-man.
She is called Lam Ling.
She is an actress.
She is a bitch!
She is my woman, Ting Moon's woman.
She slept with all my buddies.
It's a piece of cake for me to catch her.
But I let her alive intentionally.
That's why I sent her to the Peace Hotel.
I just want her to flatter you.
To make you break your promise and send her away.
If you get the gold, you needn't return to me.
She deserves it.
10 years ago, your buddies risked their lives for you.
Some of them betrayed you but you killed everyone in your troop.
10 years later, you open this hotel,
and you try to cover those scums.
Do you think you can face your buddies?
Red cheongsam.
Wine glass with lip-stick mark.
You love her, you are right to send her away.
If she couldn't cheat you to send her away,
I would have killed her.
You were my follower.
You are the kid whom I let go on that night.
You did so many wrong things on that night.
Since you killed your wife,
you killed all your followers,
you should not let a kid go.
Even your wife allied with your buddies
to set a trap to kill you!
You should have been killed 10 years ago.
All of you listen!
If you don't want to die, come out before sunset.
Otherwise,
I will launch a massacre in the Peace Hotel after sunset.
Boss...
Get the medicine...
I'm alright...
You shouldn't take any medicine.
He didn't counter attack.
That's why he was seriously hurt.
Why didn't you counter attack?
Why do you drag us down?
Why did you send that woman away?
They want to kill us all!
Skinny.
You saved a woman,
and you want to pay our lives for it.
You betray us for a woman!
We have been following you
for years.
You haven't sent any one of us away.
Are you crazy?
If not were Boss, if not were this hotel,
all of you would have been killed for ages!
You charge us!
We charge $4 a day
to provide you accommodation and food,
think we have to ensure your safety too?
Damn you blind man!
Don't fight!
Shut up!
I know you are all scared.
If you listen to them and go out of the hotel,
I can't take care of your safety anymore.
Trust me once more.
If you stay in this hotel,
We can stay peace.
Fook, Sau.
Follow me to get the guns.
Fook, Sau, lock the door.
Don't kill me, don't kill me...
Skinny, you can't go out.
You made mistake and you want us to die with you?
Don't go out!
We are like prisoners to stay here with you for 9 years.
Do you want my family to die with you now?
Dog, I beg you!
You can't let Doggie go out, he will be killed.
Who do you think you are?
Let's go.
Boss...
Hands off...
- Doggie! - Boss...
Boss...
Buddies, please bless me.
Boss, don't blame them.
Those who come here are all afraid of death.
If most of the people stay,
three of us will have guts to stay.
I am sorry, Boss.
You have trusted me for years.
Why can't you trust me one more time?
Either live or dead,
please let us choose it ourselves. Boss.
Sorry, Boss...
You bastards!
You promised not to kill us!
Why do you kill us?
Don't kill me!
Go, run, run away!
Run away!
Get lost!
Thank you for your gold.
Thank you for sending me to the Peace Hotel.
Thank you for sending me to hell.
So I can tell
who is the heartless creep.
And who is the real man!
I am now getting into the Peace Hotel.
If you like, beat me to death again.
Go!
Doggie, run!
Boss, please don't kill me! No!
No!
Wake up, please wake up!
The Peace Hotel is no longer the same,
for the Killer is gone.
We, betrayed the hotel for our lives,
have to run our own ways.
Boss...
That was the last time I saw Boss.
After that,
I hid with my parents in a little fishing port in the South.
Two years later, our foes came to us.
They killed my parents.
As I know, other people say the blind men,
Fook, Sau and Skinny, they had similar endings.
later, I have heard many gossips about Boss.
Someone said he saw Boss in North East China.
Someone said, in a station of the North,
Boss helped a young widow,
and her son in the hotel she operated.
I hope
either one stories is true.
Although I did see
my friend leave me on that day.
