The elderly woman has flashbacks of the time, when Chinese resisters to the occupation had been shot and buried, but she had gunned down one of them herself. Seemingly betrayed by the man she loved, she had told the Japanese that she would collaborate with them if they would let her kill the man. Ten years later, the woman dies. In a church where her funeral is held, people from all over the world returns to see her off. One of them begins to remember the past, what had happened in the country in the 1930s.

Between the gang-run casino members and Sing's police friends, a gunfight nearly breaks out.

Lau Sing never contacted her. After 30 years, China began its reform and opening process, and Miss Kau decides to make a trip to Canton, in an effort to find Lau Sing. When she arrived in Canton, Miss Kau reunited with almost everyone at Chu Long Lane (with the exception of Quack's wife, who died at some unspecified point in time). It turns out that Sparerib and the rest of his police colleagues never had a chance to escape to Taiwan: the military evacuation ship never arrived. After the Communists entered Canton, Chu Long Lane was confiscated from Madame Yeung. The house was only repatriated to Madame Yeung recently. Sparerib is married (wife is not shown), and has a grandson. At this time, and it is revealed Lai Wah married a Half Chinese/Western (specific nationality not revealed), and that Miss Kau's daughter was adopted. Miss Kau also revealed that Sister Teat died a few years after she and Miss Kau arrived in Hawaii. (The status of Lai Ka Lok is unknown.) Sparerib went on to tell Miss Kau what happened to Lau Sing. He eventually regained his memory, and tried to reach Hong Kong, so that he can fly to the US to meet Miss Kau. He was caught many times, and spent almost a decade in prison. He also served the Communists during the Korean War. During the Cultural Revolution, Lau Sing was exiled to Shanxi. After the Cultural Revolution, he was allowed to return to Canton, and in recognition of his still-excellent sharpshooting skills, he was appointed as principal of a police training academy in Foshan. Just as Sparerib was finished with telling Miss Kau what happened to Lau Sing, Lau Sing returned to Chu Long Lane, where he revealed that he has made multiple attempts to get an American visa, so that she can find Miss Kau. Miss Kau and Lau Sing finally reunite, and in a series of flashbacks, they were shown traveling around the world, and having a joyous time together. Finally, in 1983, Lau Sing died on Miss Kau's shoulder, while the two was enjoying the sunset in Hong Kong. The next year, Miss Kau, with her adopted daughter, visited the place where she pretended to kill Lau Sing. She finds the fake love letters, and still carries the fake grenade that Lau Sing gave her. The story finally comes full circle, as the scene was also shown in Episode 1. Miss Kau, now Granny Kau, also dies while watching the sunset. Her funeral is held at the Church that she and Lau Sing always lingered in. The orphans that she saved all gathered around to mourn for her. Chan Mei-Ting, the orphan Gau Mui thought was not on the train, summed up Gau Mui's life of contradictions: a drug lord, but capable of doing immense good. A collaborator for the Japanese during the war, but helped save the lives of many orphans. | ||||
