Ho refuses again, and when Mark tries to fight Shing on his own, he gets the living shit beaten out of him and is almost killed. Shing then makes his offer for Ho to come back to the triad, this time without Mark. Mark has been reduced to being a crippled errand boy for Shing, and wants Ho to help him get revenge, but Ho refuses. When Ho comes out of prison, he wants to leave the criminal life behind and finds work as a cabbie, where he comes across Mark again. Anguished and pissed off, Kit holds his brother responsible for their father's death. Ho's father is killed by an assassin sent by Shing, and as he dies, he begs Kit to forgive his brother. While Ho is in prison, Shing rises in the triad ranks and takes command of the organization. Mark, as Ho's sworn brother, is mad as hell about this, and in one of John Woo's most iconic action sequences, he takes revenge on Ho's betrayers with both guns blazing, but near the end of the shootout, one of his kneecaps is blown out. When a job in Taiwan goes to hell, Ho is arrested while his accomplice, a new guy by the name of Shing (played by Waise Lee) gets away. Ho cares deeply for Kit and encourages his career choice, but keeps his criminal life secret from him.
