It was a recipe for disaster and the only mystery was whose mum would be visiting a cemetery and whose mum would be visiting a prison.Martin said: "These gangs are held together often just by loyalty, so as soon as the main ones who hold that together are out the picture, that is a time for those on the to get the breathing space something with their lives." Christopher Lee as Chung King, Leader of the Red Dragon Tong's Hong Kong division and the primary antagonist. Sale continues to investigate the Tong, who eventually kidnap and torture him, wanting to know what he knows. Sale is rescued by the Beggar, another member of the resistance. A beaten Sale is brought home to the care of Lee, who is developing feelings for him. While recovering, Sale starts a relationship with Lee. Rumours were rife about West and his inappropriate behaviour with kids and the young female van assistants he employed. He also ran over and killed a young boy, although the death of Michael O’Keefe in the Stravanan area of Castlemilk in 1965 was deemed a tragic accident with no suggestion of guilt towards the man driving the van.
