Original subtitles

- Give me a hand here. - I'm coming.

How is he?

- Get him out of the water first. - Gator! Gator!

- Gator's dead. - We're in Hong Kong.

When we were at sea with San-po, we wanted for nothing.

We had everything. Now look at us.

We're washed up here like driftwood.

Who did all this to us?

Dragon Ma, I'll rip you into pieces.

Right, let's all make a solemn oath.

We're all agreed - Dragon Ma must die.

Good morning, Mr Chun.

- This way. - Morning.

- Morning. - Morning.

Please sit inside.

- The usual? - Yes, thank you.

- The bill. - Bill, please.

They're prepared to go to jail. Their families will be compensated.

- And the reporters? - They're upstairs.

- We're ready when you are. - Let's order some food.

The stuff's upstairs.

- I'll get it for you. - Thanks.

- Please wait here. - Help yourself.

- Don't move! This is a stick-up! - Don't move!

- No! - My money!

My money...

- Don't move! - It's time to leave.

Stop them!

- Robbery! - Check it out.

Police, hold it!

Sir!

- Take them away. - Go check out the shop.

Mr Chun.

Chan-jim.

- We're reporters. - You're everywhere.

- We'll take a photo. - Come on.

- Not for me. - You caught the men so easily.

- Were you acting on a tip-off? - No, I was just on my beat as usual.

Mr Chun, do you mind being called Lightening Chun?

To tell the truth I'm very flattered.

- What are you charging them with? - Robbery and assaulting an officer.

Let's take a photo. Stand closer. Grab his neck.

Sir! The shop owner is dead.

- They should be charged with murder. - I agree with you.

What?

We just did what you told us!

- We didn't murder him! - Lock them up!

Stop there.

I only got $300! You promised...

They were escaping. Take away the bodies!

Mr Chun, over here.

May I have an explanation?

We all knew that Chun has been staging his arrests.

Now the public's aware of it, too.

If you hadn't pushed him so much,

he wouldn't have had to falsify his arrests.

You gave him three districts!

Chun is the only Chinese policeman who can carry a gun.

I knew this would happen.

- I'm against them carrying weapons. - Are you against paying them, too?

The situation should dictate which officer carries a weapon,

not the officer's nationality.

And they should be paid the same, too.

We'll address that another time. Let's concentrate on Chun here.

He's responsible for three districts. It's not easy to sack him.

We'll ease him out slowly, starting with Sai Wan district.

But who'll replace him?

I have a man in mind.

The man who carried out Project A so successfully.

Take them back!

Sir, but I'm not qualified.

No one knows that and it's worth a try.

It'll be a change of scenery for you.

This is for your outstanding service. Congratulations!

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

We'd also like to relieve you of some pressure.

That's not necessary.

We don't want our top officer overburdened.

So we're handing over one of your districts to a new man.

We've received some new guns.

Your gun's been in service a long time. I want to have it checked.

See if you need a new one.

Reporting for duty, sir.

Dragon, now you're Chun's assistant in Sai Wan district.

These are your official orders.

From now on, you and Chun will work together.

If you've got any questions, ask him.

It's an honour to work with you.

Welcome, I'm quite sure you'll be a valuable addition to the district.

Let me know if you need anything.

Chun, you may have lost one district,

but the Commissioner will see you gain another.

Really?

You never know.

I see. I see.

The corrupt Manchurian Government has made our country poor.

- We have become an inferior race. - Would you like to buy a flower?

If we want to save China, we have to have the right attitude.

To enjoy a decent standard of living, we have to overthrow the Government.

Dr Sun set up the "Revive China Society" to support the revolution.

China cannot be saved by speeches alone, we need action.

We need weapons and the money to buy them.

Police.

Thank you for listening.

Would you like to buy a flower?

Maggie!

- Regina! - Stop here.

- Where have you been? - Were you looking for me?

- Not really. Where are you going? - Sai Wan.

Hop in.

My cousin, Carina - my classmate, Regina.

- Haven't seen you before. - She's just arrived.

I'm having a party next week. You're invited.

- Is it your birthday party? - They're always such fun.

Bring Carina.

- Will you come? - What will I wear?

- She'll lend you something. - Sure.

Support the revolution and buy a flower.

- No, thank you. - Can I have one?

If he wants to save China, give me one, too.

- Good idea, I'll have one, too. - Thank you, sirs.

- You're right. I'll have one, too. - How much?

Sir, the revolution will succeed if everyone was like you.

I hope so.

- Thank you. - Where do you usually sell these?

Wherever there are people to buy them.

Come on, eat.

- What is it? - The police, hide the boxes.

You're spreading rumours, disturbing the peace and racketeering, right?

- You have no proof. - The flowers you have are the proof.

And look at the flowers you sold.

You men are my witnesses. Did this woman sell you the flowers?

No.

What's that?!

What the hell are you doing with flowers in your jackets?

We're pen pals meeting for the first time, and as we don't know each other

the girls said they'd hold baskets and we said we'd wear a rose.

We didn't see you there! You should hold them higher.

Come on, sit down.

You look much prettier than your handwriting.

Let me introduce everyone - Mr A, I'm Mr B, Mr C, Mr D. Sit down.

Is it an offence to meet pen pals?

I must admit you won this time.

Watch out. Don't let me catch you selling flowers.

And we're not used to making idle threats either.

Some tea, miss?

I hate those who oppress us on behalf of their foreign masters.

Right. They think they're wonderful under that uniform.

- They're morons. Don't you agree? - Not really.

There are cops who are honest and hardworking.

- I've never met any. - Yes, you have!

We're all policemen. We've never oppressed anyone.

- So all of you are policemen. - Excuse us.

Miss, China depends on patriots like you.

Don't forget your money boxes.

Dragon, if they weren't so beautiful, do you think you'd have helped them?

- Cheque, waiter. - Yes, sir.

Those policemen were really kind.

If it wasn't for them, we'd have been in trouble.

There aren't any good policemen.

- How many did you sell? - Quite a few.

It's your lucky day.

- And you? - Not much.

- Help! - Help!

Come back!

No, you don't.

So it's you again. What's going on?

- They tried to rob those ladies. - Come on, make way.

- Really? What ladies? - Make way. Come on.

Don't block our way. Move along.

Strange, where did they go?

- Officer, what's up? - Nothing. Take them to the station.

You can tell me what this is all about.

- I'd like to see the man in charge. - He's talking.

- Sir? - What?

- We work for Tiger. - That's right.

- Still, that's no excuse. - That's right.

- But we didn't rob those ladies. - Really?

- How did you know they were ladies? - Be quiet! Who asked you?

- Look, is Sergeant Chi here? - Sergeant Chi?

You lost. Do I place the same bet again?

- Make it a dollar. - Really?

Yeah.

Wait, they want to see Sergeant Chi.

This way.

Right, you lot, sign here.

You shouldn't be messing things up like that!

- We didn't, sir. - Bullshit.

- 201, show these two out. - Get out of here.

- Can I speak now? - What do you want to say? Go ahead.

- I want to see your superior. - Why?

I want to report some police irregularities.

All right. Shang, take them to the back room.

Wait! One at a time. You come with me.

- Sung! - Coming.

This way.

- So where is he? - Our superior is right here.

Now what's this about police irregularities?

You can tell him.

You didn't expect your little show earlier today would go unpunished?

I'm going to teach you a lesson.

No, help me. Can somebody help?!

Don't. Don't do that.

Stay right there. I'm the new superintendent for Sai Wan.

Here's my appointment.

Superintendent, a terrible mistake.

If police officers believe they can use their power

for personal attacks

and use their position to protect criminals...

- That's also a mistake. - Sir, you mustn't believe that.

I just saw it with my own eyes.

Who do you think you are?

If this is the way it's going to be, then I'm quitting.

Right, you can do all our jobs.

So you've never made a mistake?

You really want everyone here to quit?

All right, I quit!

What has got into you boys? He's saying it's for your own good.

Please, don't take any notice of them.

If every officer does his duty, then I'll ignore what happened.

Hear that?

Welcome, Superintendent Ma!

A little welcome present for you, sir.

- From all the boys? - Yes, sir.

So Sai Wan is a good place to make money.

Just to show our appreciation.

But there's one constable who refused to show his appreciation.

Who's that?

Constable Ho, he's still out on the beat.

Send him in when he returns.

Yes, sir. Let me know if you need anything.

All right.

Sir, that's a lovely flower you have.

Thank you.

Look. He's been on the wanted list for three years!

He's the suspect for many recent cases. He still lives in Sai Wan.

He's down as a suspect here.

So why haven't they arrested him? Maybe they didn't want to.

- Superintendent. Constable Ho, sir. - You didn't contribute. Why?

As I don't take bribes, I couldn't afford to.

- So the others take bribes, then? - I didn't say that.

If you don't wise up, you won't stay in your job long.

My job is to serve the people and uphold the law.

- I'd rather quit than accept bribes. - You sound like an honest man.

Tell me about all these unsolved cases where no one's been arrested.

Tiger Au's the kingpin around here. I'd love to arrest him.

But I don't have the power. He's got lots of guards.

- These criminals are his men. - So where does he hang around?

He runs most of the illegal businesses in Sai Wan.

He's usually at Po Luk Hotel.

Tell the other officers to come in early tomorrow.

All right, as long as each of you does your duty, I'll be happy.

I don't need envelopes.

Would you like to live near a brothel?

Or see your own children gamble or smoke opium

knowing the damage they do to the family?

You wouldn't like it and neither would Sai Wan residents.

But brothels, gambling and opium dens exist everywhere

and you all know who owns them.

It is our duty to protect this community and I intend to do it.

Therefore starting today, we're going to clean it up.

Let's go.

Superintendent, if you've enough men, I'll stay here.

- Can I have a day off? - Why?

- Can I have a day off, too? - Tell me why. One by one.

- My wife's pregnant. - My sister's pregnant.

- What a coincidence! - My sister is his wife.

- My wife is his sister. - Yeah.

- Sir, can I resign now? - For what reason?

I'm the only child in my family. So I'd rather not go.

Me, too. For what I'm paid, it isn't worth the risk, so I quit.

- I quit, too. - Me, as well.

All right, operation cancelled.

Dismissed.

But Dragon...

Come on.

Now you see why I'm so fed up. They never want to do any real work.

They made Dragon cancel his plan.

What do you mean? There are good reasons for that.

Maybe he wants someone to check Tiger out first.

No. He's testing the men to see who's brave and who's a coward.

Now he knows he can't trust anyone. Am I right?

He's right. We've been with Dragon so long now, we know how his mind works.

Oh, really?

- Right now it's not working. - Are you kidding?!

If this operation fails, we'll have to leave this place.

He's right. We can't fail or we're finished.

Mars, I want you to take a note to the marines.

- You're asking for a transfer back?! - We'll go and arrest Tiger tonight.

Well, it's been ages since we were all together.

To your health.

Tiger, I hear you have a small job for us.

That's right. I just met Chun.

His Sai Wan district has been given to some new upstart.

We'll wait for Mars here. You go check the place out.

Thank you.

We've changed clothes, why are they staring?

Your hat's on backwards.

- How about now? - That will do.

- What's this for? - Here.

Forget that. Let's get something to eat first.

Tiger, if we've lost Chun's protection,

who'll look after our interests?

Since he's asking for a favour, we have to help him no matter what.

As soon as this new guy shows his face around these parts

we'll fix him permanently.

Why wait for him to come out? Go fix him at the station.

Who is he anyway? Is he some kind of monster or what?

Mars, over here.

I spoke to Ying.

She said the marines were off training somewhere.

Is the operation still on?

- We'll do it on our own. - We can't back down now.

Not much happening.

- What did you say his name was? - Dragon Ma.

Dragon Ma?

Remember the one that killed the pirates?

- Which one of you is Tiger? - I am.

In that case, you're coming down to the station.

- To the station? Who are you? - Superintendent Dragon Ma.

You're wanted in connection with 3 murders, 4 robberies,

one case of arson and 3 of assault.

This is the warrant.

I did all those things?

Let me see that.

Sorry, I missed.

Dragon, are we leaving?

Stop the music.

Stop it.

All right, we're police officers. If you've no business here, out!

Time to go. Come on, everybody. Come on.

Dragon Ma.

Nice of you to drop by. I wanted to meet you.

Right, I've always wanted to meet the famous Dragon Ma.

You must be after me.

Those two Causeway Bay murders, I did both of them.

You'd better arrest me, too, because I'm going to kill a policeman soon.

Dragon Ma, didn't anyone tell you? You're dead.

One day I'll die for sure like everybody else.

In the meantime, you're under arrest.

Dragon!

Dragon, the third unit are outside, awaiting orders.

Dragon!

The other two units are all in position.

No one told me about this.

Don't just stand there. Get them in here.

- Get them in here. - Right.

I'll tell them to charge.

They're all ready.

Forget it. No more bluffing, we're all alone.

You've got courage.

You shouldn't be worried about arresting anyone,

You should be more worried about getting out of here alive.

- The doors. - Right.

Steady.

- Steady. - Steady.

- Steady. - Steady.

Get out of here!

Steady!

What do we do now?

Now...

don't think you're getting out of here.

Get them!

Look out!

Bastard! Let me teach you a good lesson.

Bastard!

Arrest me?!

You'd need more lives than a cat to arrest me.

- You four kneel down. Go get him! - Right!

Had enough yet?

Don't forget my name is Wong.

Forward!

Upstairs. Spread out!

Dragon, are you all right?

Dragon, what a surprise! I see you're hard at work.

How's it going?

They were resisting arrest.

Really? I see, take them away.

Hold it. What?

Are we pirates? Are we smugglers?

This is dry land, you can't arrest us here!

I realise that, sir. But I suspect there are pirates in this hotel.

Superintendent, please carry on, I wouldn't want to interrupt you.

Lock them up.

Round them up, take them back to the base

and question them to see if they are pirates.

You. You. Round them up. Take them back to the base!

Fall in.

Take them away.

- Are you all right? - You could have come quicker.

- Move it. - Come on.

- Thank you. I owe you one. - They were out at sea.

They came as soon as they got the message.

Dragon Ma!

- If it wasn't... - Shut up!

Hold it!

Release these two.

If you two manage to walk out of this place, you can go free.

Right, leave us.

You, too.

Lock them up!

You're still the same.

If police work was that easy, I'd have taken your job long ago.

I know, sir.

Just remember, you're still one of us.

We must go fishing again.

Dragon, Father says things are very different on land, especially here.

You have to be careful.

Take them back to the station.

Move it! Go on!

- How was it? - It's Dragon Ma for sure.

- Let's kill him! - Let's do it.

How? They've got an entire army out there.

The police were looking for pirates.

See? They've already got wind of our plan.

- What do we do now? - We can go to bed early.

- Where do we sleep? - Where do we sleep?

We can't kill him now, so we'll find a hotel.

We have to wait.

- You're here. - Yeah.

- Cigarette? - No, thanks.

- Chun, are you taking those files? - I was going to.

- But I'll need them when I'm back. - Really? When will you be back?

I believe it will be soon. Not everyone can sit in this chair.

You're right, sir.

Find a place to store them. He'll be back soon.

Sergeant, could you...?

Dragon Ma!

I've always wanted to arrest these gangsters, and now you've done it.

- This is terrific. - Thanks.

- Chun. - Shut up!

- What do you mean? - Lock them up.

- You've changed your tune. - Take them away.

- Chun! - Shut up!

Do you hear me?! Take them away!

Do you hear me? Take them away!

201.

Put Tiger in the security block.

267, 357.

Put Wong here in cell two.

282, take some men and seal off the hotel.

Sergeant Ching.

Lock up the rest of this rabble and take their statements.

The rest start working on the wanted criminals.

- Understood? - Yes, sir.

Get to work.

Get going!

You've been working very hard. Take a break.

See you later.

That's right, sir. You put your feet up.

I'll make you a nice cup of coffee.

- These files, where do I put them? - Idiot! Put them away.

Dragon, the Commissioner is extremely pleased with the way the raid went.

Don't thank me. And we can't give you any medals yet.

Remember, don't get carried away.

- No, I won't, sir. - I'm here to make sure you don't.

Keep your eyes peeled at the Commissioner's daughter's party.

I'll be on the alert.

That's not good enough.

You must anticipate Chun's every move to cause trouble.

If anything goes wrong, you'll be blamed.

Thanks for the advice, sir.

You'd better get something smart to wear.

You and your men need new clothes. This ought to cover things.

This rat won't even feed one of us.

Where are you going?

To rob a shop. I want to eat proper food, not rats.

- We've got nothing to lose. - That's true.

But we've come to kill Ma.

If we go out, we'll be arrested in a matter of minutes,

then we'll never avenge the death of our captain.

Shall I make rat soup?

I haven't eaten meat soup for ages.

Guys, I've talked to Chun.

I've agreed to steal a necklace at the birthday party.

I don't get it.

We're not doing this for Chun.

We are doing this for the revolution.

He'll pay good money and we can use it for weapons.

- Does Chun know your background? - He knows I smuggle weapons.

- But he thinks I'm a thief. - That's great.

I think we should give it a try.

By the way, before I left Canton, Dr Sun gave me a warning.

After the murder of the governor of Canton,

the dowager empress sent secret agents to arrest us.

Tell Maggie and Carina to be careful selling flowers.

Dismissed. Come with me.

- I found it. - What did you find?

- Lobster. - Really?!

- It's a lobster's shell. - Only the shell.

- Here's some fish. - That's nice.

- What did you find out? - Normally...

they're spread out all over the city. It's hard to know where they are.

But Carina's often seen around here when she sells flowers.

We could start with her.

This time we must liquidate all of them.

Yes, of course.

It's beautiful!

I feel stupid dressed like this.

- Don't be silly. - But I do.

We'll change inside.

It's Mr B.

The invitation's for one person only.

It says here one person.

But can't she come with me, please?

Sure, I don't think that will be a problem.

- Maggie. You finally turned up. - You're late.

Come on!

Why are you late?

- You go first. - Make it quick.

Come on, let's find you some dresses.

That gentleman wouldn't let my cousin in without an invitation.

- And who are you? - We're policemen.

We're here for security.

And what's your name?

This is Dragon Ma.

I forgot to give her the invitation, may she come in?

Of course.

- Thank you. Come on! - Thank you, Mr Ma.

- I'm sorry. - Don't worry.

Tell Mars to keep an eye on them.

- Who are they? - The man's called Man.

- I don't know the woman's name. - Beware of strangers.

Thank you.

She's very pretty.

- Do you know who she is? - I've no idea, sir.

So no one can introduce me then?

I'll introduce her to you, sir.

She's not a friend of yours?

- Are you ready? - Go ahead.

This way. The necklace is in the office behind the painting.

- Breathe in. - Nearly.

That should do it.

This dress is very tight.

They're all like that.

- Get the back. - Don't move.

- That's enough. What do you think? - Lovely!

So you were brought up in Shanghai, but you don't have an accent.

Maybe I don't, but you don't have to have athlete's foot to be an athlete.

Sorry.

Miss, you're really witty. I like meeting people like you.

He says that to all the ladies. Don't listen to him.

Your Excellency has found a rare pearl indeed.

You look wonderful in this dress.

- Better stay alert. - Right.

Daddy, do I look pretty?

Absolutely lovely, my dear.

And what about the dress?

But I was talking about the dress.

Let me have the first dance. Come on.

Miss, may I have the pleasure of this dance?

- Go on. It'll be fun. - May I have this dance?

I've never danced with so many people before.

- Daddy, are you happy? - Of course.

- You're very beautiful tonight. - Why aren't you looking at me?

- Where do you live? - James' Street.

It's a dangerous town, you must be careful.

With policemen like you to catch all the criminals, I feel quite safe.

Do you think Hong Kong is a dangerous place to live?

Dangerous? Not really.

- What do you do all day long? - Sit in my office and drink coffee.

When I leave the dance floor,

go upstairs with Carina to distract the security guards.

Don't worry. We know what to do.

How can you say it's not dangerous with all the crime?

If there wasn't any crime, there wouldn't be any police.

Perhaps we could take tea together.

Excuse me, did you have garlic for lunch?

The Commissioner's office is opposite Maggie's bedroom.

I'll climb up outside. Wait for me in her room.

Right.

In my spare time, I go shopping, I go to theatre or I paint pictures.

You paint? I love painting.

- What is it? - I've torn the dress.

What's up?

- Let's go and fix it. - Excuse me.

Nobody has changed partners with us.

- Don't you like my company? - Of course.

- But I have to use the ladies. - All right, I see.

- Let me show you where it is. - Thank you.

Right, let me fix it for you.

I can't see. Stop that.

- It's really hot. - It's not.

- You're right, open the window. - I'll do it.

The invitations are real, but where did they get them from?

He's not dancing, do you think...

Tell me which one you like.

- It's lovely. - Which one?

Be quiet.

What is it?

- Nothing. You have a lovely figure. - Really? Thanks a lot.

- What's going on, Carina? - Nothing.

Which one shall I wear?

Go!

I am sorry, I am so sorry. Please.

Daddy, I was thinking about this one for the cake.

Why don't you ask my friend Miss Pak?

- You look pretty in anything. - Thank you.

I liked the one you wore earlier.

Then maybe I'll put it back on.

These girls...

- Have you seen... - I've seen nothing,

but you've seen my daughter undressed.

Being in charge of security doesn't mean you can charge in anywhere.

He's out of his mind!

All right now, ladies. Don't take too long.

My bedroom's here.

What does your bedroom look like?

Quick. They're waiting for me for the cake.

Your room is huge!

I find it much too big since my wife's death.

Please.

This is beautiful!

It's just a normal office for a colonial service man.

I only own the paintings, all the rest belong to the Government.

So you can't give me a souvenir?

I just bought them. So they're not framed.

- May I see them? - If you'd like to, sure.

Of course. I bought this in London. I liked it very much when I saw it.

- I like it very much, too! - I'm sure you'll like the other one.

Let me get it for you.

Besides being a collector, do you paint?

Yes, I do. I paint sometimes.

But I'll be embarrassed to show them to people.

And you? What do you like to paint most?

- Chinese landscapes mostly. - Really? I love Chinese landscapes.

But I don't know much about them.

I have two more somewhere, but I can't remember where I put them.

They're not here. They might still be in the box.

Don't worry if you can't find them.

We've got time, the cake's not ready yet.

They're not here. Strange.

Maybe they haven't arrived yet.

Don't move!

- Hold it! - What's going on?

- What's going on? - Thief, sir.

What's happening?

- What are you doing? - There's been a theft!

Damn!

What a lovely cake!

It's so big.

Yeah.

It's beautiful.

I'm sorry.

Stay where you are.

I'm sorry, everyone.

You're under arrest.

- Me? - What's going on?

He can't deny it. I saw him stealing something in the study.

Somebody's stolen the necklace I bought for Regina's birthday.

He's the one.

You're accusing me of stealing? And the evidence?

You better search him.

He has a number of accomplices, I doubt he still has it on him.

Dragon, if you make accusations, you'd better be able to back them up.

Ladies and gentlemen, we don't like this any more than you.

But to prove your innocence,

I'm sure you won't mind a search by one of my officers.

- You want to search me? - If you're innocent, you won't mind.

Needless to say, you'll start with me.

However, to be fair I think we should start with Mr Ma.

All right.

Chun, can you search him?

Chief, it's better if you do it.

Right, if you wish.

It's part of the diamond necklace.

Where did you get this?

Someone must have set him up.

Mr Ma really is a wonderful actor.

Ladies and gentlemen, this was all part of the evening's entertainment.

However Mr Ma is such a good actor, he fooled everyone present.

I just hope everyone enjoyed it.

- Daddy! - A surprise.

- You almost scared me to death. - Let's have the cake.

You really arranged everything, sir?

Of course not. Where's the necklace?

I've no idea, sir.

Then what is this doing in your pocket?

I demand an explanation!

So it wasn't a game?

- Did it look like a game to you? - No, I suppose it didn't.

- What now? - I should be asking that.

- You're the policeman. - Arrest him.

- But, sir... - Shut up! It's an order.

I expect you to get to the bottom of this and quickly.

Take him away.

- You have to make a wish. - All right.

Did you set Dragon up with the necklace that night?

I don't know much about that, but he's innocent.

He's a nice person.

We had to do it for the good of the country, don't forget.

Hot dumplings!

- Do you want some dumplings? - All right.

What do you want in them?

Carina.

Where are you?

Maggie, what's the matter?

- My cousin has disappeared. - What?!

- She just disappeared into thin air. - Really?!

She won't talk, but I found this.

Go to this address, see if you find the others.

Yes, sir!

- You must avoid the police. - Yes, sir.

You're in big trouble if the Chief finds out.

Not if we find the necklace.

Why do you think Carina's involved?

She and Man were dancing all evening.

Sir! I have a release order here. I'm allowed to take him out.

Is this your first day? You've forgotten the handcuffs.

Sorry.

I'll keep this with me for safety.

- What's up? - We don't have to show everybody.

Let's go and see the warden.

All I want is for the prisoner to be taken down the road towards the sea.

After that, you'll never need to work again.

- It's really that simple? - It's that simple.

It's a deal.

Anyone here?

With any luck, she'll be back by now.

Be quiet!

Carina. Carina!

Oh, no. I can't find her anywhere.

- I wonder who kidnapped her. - Sometimes it's better not to know.

It's her!

You two again.

- Right. Any news of Carina? - She's not back yet. And you?

We're still working on it.

Hold on, I'll finish changing.

- Who is it? - Dragon and his man.

It's about the necklace. I'd better hide.

- Any ideas? - It's linked to the necklace case.

- That's right. - Are you involved?

That's what the Commissioner told us to say.

- Does your cousin know a Mr Man? - No, she doesn't.

Sit down, please.

- We're like brothers. - Yeah.

- Do you need to go the bathroom? - No.

- But you said you needed to. - When?

Yeah, I did say that.

- Where's the bathroom? - The bathroom?! Over there.

- Thanks. - I only have one bathroom.

- We always go together. - Yeah, since we were kids.

- All clear? - They're in the bathroom.

All right. I'm leaving now.

Excuse me, I'm just getting changed.

- Chief Inspector Tung is here! - What's he doing here?

Keep him talking, I'll be in the back.

Chief Inspector Tung?

- Please, come in. - For you.

Thank you. How can I help you, sir?

- I was just passing by. - And the flowers?

I confiscated them from a hawker.

I must say you've got a very pleasant place here

so bright and airy and beautifully decorated.

It really has a woman's touch about the whole place.

And such a wonderful scent of fresh flowers, too.

Oh, yes, your two officers are right...

My two officers what?

- My two officers are what? - Where are your officers?

They're all downstairs waiting for me.

I'll patrol around this area everyday. Just in case.

What is it?

- Are you all right? - Indigestion.

It's hiccups. I have a cure.

Does it work?

It's a very ancient remedy. It can cure hiccups.

You're cured. It always works.

- Are you better now? - Yes, I am.

If you have hiccups again, you know what to do.

I was wondering...

- Why don't we put them in a vase? - Yeah? Sure!

Let me help you.

- Where's the water tap? - Behind you.

Normally I close this window when I'm cooking.

Are you cooking now?

No, I'm not cooking now, I may as well leave it open.

You've got a problem here, but I can fix it.

Thank you.

Here.

Don't move.

It won't hurt, it's just a little water.

Stand back or you'll get wet. It won't take too long.

I'll go and get a towel.

All right, the coast is clear.

I'm sorry. I fixed it, but I got all wet.

Thank you.

- So you know about plumbing? - Sure.

I was chief of waterworks before.

My uniform's wet.

- I'll hang it up for you. - Thank you.

Enough heroics.

You're still here?!

There are lots of police downstairs.

Keys.

Quick! Hurry!

Maggie!

Where are you?

- Finished! Where will I put them? - In the living room.

Can you hang this out to dry and lend me a shirt?

- What's up? - It won't open.

Let me.

The humid weather makes the wood expand. Hold this.

Try this side.

There.

- I hope this will do. - It will have to.

- Thank you. - I'll iron your jacket.

No, it can't be ironed. It must be hang-dried.

It's all right. I'm patient. I can wait.

- That's what it was! - They're...

They're handcuffs. We use them on prisoners.

When you arrest a criminal, you put this end on his arm

and you put this end on your own arm, so he can't escape.

When there are two thieves and one runs off, then...

Bingo! This guy can't move.

While you run after that guy, this guy can't move. He can't escape.

- I left my keys in my jacket. - I'll get them.

That must be your cousin.

Hi.

- It's Chun! - Really? Tell him I'm not here.

No! He's here to see me.

- Tell him you're not here. - He's already seen me!

Why did I handcuff myself? I must hide.

I need a hiding place.

I'm just changing.

- Give me a hand. - Go over there.

- All right, quickly. - Go that way!

This way.

Ow! That hurt!

- Quick! - Where will I hide?

- Under the bed. - All right.

- This one here, it's safer. - All right, the sofa first.

You must get under the bed first.

- All right, whatever you say. - Come on, hurry.

Don't move.

- Sorry, I was just changing. - That's OK.

- Chun, is this your beat now? - Yes, it is.

Nice place you have here.

So, do you have any complaints about the district?

- Yes, a lot. - Really? What are they?

Well, it's becoming dangerous around here. Just last night...

Forget it.

- Please, sit down. - Thank you.

- I'll go and make some tea. - Thank you.

Oh, no. I've no hot water. I'll get some drinks from the shop.

Don't worry.

Chun, do you visit everybody as part of your police duties?

Yes, of course.

- I'd better go. - Good idea.

Bye! Take care, Chun.

Don't forget if you're ever in the area, feel free to drop by.

Me?

You're...

If Chun's gone, I'd better go, too.

What are you doing?

I thought I'd give you a goodbye kiss.

No, you don't!

That was wonderful.

Hurry up now, or you'll be late.

You've had your kiss, now go.

- When are you going? - Now.

I promised to meet some of my officers.

- Well, OK? - No. There are two men up there.

Another two?

- How did they all get in my house? - What now?

- Come on, this way. - Right.

Where are the damn keys?

Who are the bravest cops in history?

The Hong Kong blue boys!

You should see the way we catch them

Rain and hail and heat and typhoon

Nothing stops us, because we're the toughest cops ever!

And who are the greatest people in all Hong Kong?

It's our policemen

They don't need to catch any robbers

Because they're the crooks

They take bribes and get rehousing

They're clumsy and useless

Keep going, keep going.

And Mr Tung, why do you have a moustache?

Because I'm proud of myself

Who are you? Let's get him!

- Are you alone? - What are you doing here?

- Was it you? - Go on, beat him up.

- Talk! - Stab him. Stab his heart.

- Stab his thigh. Kick his ass. - All right.

He's going to die!

Are you going to talk or not?!

- Go on! - Don't hit him any more.

- Stop. He's not moving. Is he dead? - No, he isn't.

Tell us or I'll blow your head off.

Hold it! I've got two hostages. Move and I'll shoot them both dead.

- We have a hostage, too. - Choy, are you OK?

Sure, he might live.

OK, we'll exchange a hostage, but no funny business.

Move it!

Choy, are you hurt?

Don't move an inch.

- Sir, he did it! - Go find the keys for me.

I was really worried about you.

I work for the dowager empress.

So what are you doing here, then?

I'm here to arrest rebels. The Hong Kong police can't touch us.

We have different laws here.

And our laws apply to everyone in Hong Kong, including you.

Lock him up along with this one here.

Send them back to Manchuria.

I can't find them, sir. I know, let's shoot the lock off.

- What if you miss? - I won't.

Lock them up first.

What about me? Look at me.

Be careful, sir.

Don't worry about me, just get Ma back to the prison.

I'll change my signature next time.

Chief, your hand.

My hand's holding important evidence which proves they're thieves.

- Where are your keys? Open it. - Yes, sir.

I have the cuffs, but not the keys.

All right, I'll take them in.

Dragon, you're not free yet, you have to be back in prison by sunset.

- I'll take him back. - I can do that for you, sir.

- Come on, let's go. - Move it.

You know what to do.

Out of the way! Stand back.

Dragon, you know the rules, don't you?

Yes, sir.

Sir, can you take off the cuffs? I won't run away.

I don't have my keys with me.

Dragon Ma, you're a dead man!

- Who are you? - We're victims of your heroism.

We'll kill you today.

I've nothing to do with this.

Get lost, then.

- What about me?! - Good luck.

This is for Captain San-po.

My keys! My keys!

- Stop there. Do you know who he is? - I'm a superintendent.

We don't give a shit!

- Hey, up here. - What?

- I said up there. - I didn't hear you.

Come on, we've got to work together.

- Higher. - Stop.

Out of the way!

Not that way.

We're police! Help, we're being attacked.

This way, come on.

We've got to jump.

Quick!

- Stop there. - Come on. Quick!

Come on, this way.

Open up. Open up.

Hold it!

- Over here, officer. - Over here, officer.

Why did you hit me?

Try this.

Come on.

- Come on. - Upstairs.

No, you don't.

No, this way.

This way.

Come on.

You almost got me killed!

This way!

You! Tell me who you are or I'll kill you.

Help!

Come on.

That hurts!

- It's them. - They're officers!

Get the men inside, hurry!

Come down, the cops are coming. Let's go.

- Bread?! - Let's go.

- But it's bread! - So what?

- They've gone. - Everyone back to the station.

What?! Go after them!

- Where are you from, sir? - Shandong.

- In all Shandong, there's no one... ...as tall as me?

No, as clumsy as you.

What's that?

Come on!

Once you're back in Canton, you'd better keep a low profile.

- There are spies everywhere. - I'll be careful.

I don't have much time. Please give this to Maggie.

I hope when we meet again, it will be in victory.

Sure.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

It's Chun.

- Hey, Superintendent. - Warden. Nice to see you here.

- Are you OK? - He almost got me killed.

- Where are you going? - Back to my office.

Great, you can take him back to jail.

Have you got the keys?

Go find the others.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Goodbye, Dragon.

Goodbye.

- Waiter, a cup of tea. - Yes, sir.

This isn't the way to the prison.

It's a short cut to another place.

Where?

Hell.

What are you doing? Let me go!

What are you doing?

- Hurry! - Let me go!

What are you doing?

We'll say he fell in the water if they ask.

Right.

Come on.

- He doesn't look too good. - He's hungry.

- How do you know? - Aren't you hungry?! We all are.

- His head's real hot. - He's got a fever.

This is all Dragon Ma's fault.

It's not Ma's fault, it's all our own fault.

If I'd found us all proper jobs when we landed instead of looking for Ma,

we'd never have ended up like this.

You should have said that from the start.

But he killed many of our brothers.

It's his job, he's a policeman, like it's our job to kill people.

- Why didn't you say that before? - Yeah!

Who cares? Let's see what's wrong with him first.

Are you all right?

I'm hot and cold.

- The hot and cold thing! - What?!

- We've got to get some medicine. - Come on.

- Thank you for letting my men go. - Is there anything else I can do?

I came here to capture some assassins.

Is our Government offering any help?

There's a reward of 5,000 taels for each of them.

Maybe I can be of help then.

Chun, that will be brilliant.

- It was you who saved my life. - If we didn't do what Chun asked,

you wouldn't have gone to jail.

- We owed you one. - Why did you set me up?

We needed money to buy weapons, so we did a deal with Chun.

Then we realised we'd helped him set up a good cop.

Where's the necklace?

It's in the Commissioner's study, inside one of his books.

You did save my life. I guess I'll let it go this time.

- Are you going? - Don't worry.

- I won't tell anyone your secret. - That'll only help our revolution.

- But you still worry us. - Really?

- You still want to be a cop? - What else can I do?

Join us, the revolution.

If we had comrades like you, we'd have a better chance.

I won't join you.

Are you still angry about what we did?

You've got to bend the rules to achieve a noble goal.

We're even prepared to sacrifice our lives for the revolution.

That's exactly why I can't join. There's no way I can bend the rules.

However noble the cause, I can't change.

As far as I'm concerned, I couldn't break the law to achieve any goal.

However, I do admire you. I think one day you'll succeed.

I understand that to overthrow the Government, lots of people must die.

But I won't ask people to do that

because I don't know what will be left once the sacrifices are over.

So I'll remain a policeman.

I think every life is precious and I want everyone to have a happy life.

A country of 400,000,000 people is made up of individuals.

If they hate their lives, how can they love their country?

I see what you mean. I'll remember your words.

We're both working for the people but in different ways.

So being a policeman is noble after all.

But they won't let any good policemen exist in a colonial region.

They'll destroy you.

I'm here to fight those people.

- Take care. - Goodbye.

Uncle Koon, she only left me a letter.

- Why did she leave in such a hurry? - Maybe it was urgent.

- Thank you. I'm going. Goodbye. - Goodbye.

OK, I'll go.

- Give me that axe. - Let's hope this works.

Be nice.

Excuse me, brother, I need some medicine, and can I pay later?

Sorry, we don't do that here.

But a life is at stake.

We're not a charity.

If everybody was like you, we'd soon be out of business.

- Give it to him. - Right.

But I'd like to know who you are and what I did to offend you.

Perhaps I arrested your friends by mistake before.

Wan, I'm going. You can put it on my slate.

- My friend. - My friend.

- What's wrong with your friend? - The hot and cold thing.

- What? - It's probably typhoid.

Keep quiet!

Uncle Koon, run!

Now you have a warrant, no one will stop you.

This way please, sir.

- Move along. - This is police work.

Here he is.

- Did you get it? - Yeah, look.

- I saw Dragon Ma, too. - Did you kill him?

No, he paid for the medicine.

They're all upstairs.

Uncle Koon, you first.

- See you later. - Keep it.

Come on.

- It's Dragon Ma. - Why is he still alive?

- Here, take this. - Be careful.

Come on.

- Mr Chun, is something wrong? - No, it's just an arrest.

- But we heard gunshots. - None of your business, carry on.

Go on!

Move along.

Get going!

Dragon Ma, I'm going to kill you.

- Move it. - Hurry it up.

I think this is what you're looking for.

Chun, why the hell are doing this?

I'll tell you, you have your conditions and I have mine.

Thank you. This is the one.

Yan-kit, why did you betray us?

You bastard!

So what? I'm merely carrying out my duty to arrest rebels.

What do you want?

- Chun. - Yes, sir.

- Your reward. - Thank you, sir.

- And the others? - I'll take them back with me.

- The boxes are ready, sir. - Damn you, Chun!

- You were saying? - Do you know what you're doing?

- What are you suggesting? - You won't get away with this.

Don't worry, I will get away with it.

What have you got against me? You were against me from the start.

I've nothing against you personally, but you keep interfering.

And you had my men arrested.

The longer I let you live, the more problems you'll cause me.

I was just doing my job as a policeman.

You're a good cop, I'm a bad cop, so we're never going to see eye to eye.

It's either you or me. Do you understand?

That's enough. I'm not interested in listening to your stories.

That's right. You'd better leave before the night market starts.

But I don't want that man around.

Of course, I intend taking care of him after you leave.

- Get on with it. - Let's do it.

- Help! - Maggie.

- Shut up! - She knows nothing.

Forget her. I have something special in mind for you.

- Take him away. - Yes, sir. Move!

- Move it! - Stop that!

Throw him in there.

- Go help the others. - Yes, sir.

Yan-kit, switch it on.

Don't think you can get out of there. It's impossible.

This batch of soy sauce will be delicious.

Our company is famous for its sauce and it's for export only.

Your flesh and blood will be in every bottle, all to be shipped overseas.

Isn't that wonderful? Well?

You're doing fine.

Let's see how long you can keep it up.

I think we need to add a little oil.

A little more there.

- He's escaped! - After him!

Run!

Get the notebook.

Come on, hurry. Use the stairwell!

- What's up? - It's a dead end.

Come on, this way.

Hurry! This way.

Hurry!

- Hurry up! - Get a move on.

Don't let them escape.

You'll have to climb down.

- It's all right. Don't be afraid. - No.

Take the basket.

- Come on. - Hold on.

Just do like I do. I'll go first.

I'll catch you on the ground.

Go on, jump!

- You're safe. You can get off me. - Quick!

This way.

Come on. Quick, but be careful.

Quick! Help her.

Help!

Try to find a foothold. Hurry up.

Give me your hand.

Don't come any closer.

Hold on tight!

Jump, I'll catch you. No. Wait a minute, I'll get a board.

Go on, jump!

Let go! Come on!

- Take the notebook. - You keep that. I can't make it.

Take the notebook and leave here.

We'll never escape.

- All right. - Go!

Keep an eye on those two.

Block the exit.

Dragon Ma?!

- Give us the notebook. - I've eaten it.

- Give it back and we'll let you go. - If I'd wanted to go, I'd be gone.

Enough talk.

- We'll give you one more chance. - No thanks. I don't need any more.

Get him!

- It's fits me. - Get going.

- How do I look? - Get going.

Go on.

Go to hell!

Luck is on my side.

Get the notebook.

Have you got it?

What are you doing?

Why did you hit him?

Get him!

You go that way.

Go back!

- Go and block his exit. - Yes, sir.

Dragon Ma is not our friend.

But if you lay a finger on him, we won't be very happy.

That's right.

Don't worry, I'll handle this.

Chief, Mr Chun has the situation covered.

Hold it!

- It's the warden. - Bastards!

Excuse me, I have an appointment.

- Out of the way! - Come on!

Hold it, Chun!

Here's your money.

Don't pull the rope or the whole thing will come down.

Look out, it's falling. Get out of the way!

Make sure Dragon's all right.

Thank you, whoever you are.

He's all right!

Chun's under there!

- Let my men go free. - Why?

I'm a representative of the Ching Government.

My men were acting in self-defence.

They must be allowed to leave.

What did you say?

- Did you hear that? - No, sir.

- You hear what he said? - Not a thing.

That's just what I thought.

- Dragon, are you all right? - Yes, sir.

You're finished!

Let them go.

- Thank you. - No need, I owe you one.

Dragon, what's going on here?

Dragon Ma.

- Do you remember why we came here? - Yes, we do.

He's dead. Let's go.

- Dragon, who are they? - Just some friends.

- You didn't introduce us. - That's because I don't know them.

Dismissed!

Dismissed!
