Ding

The Chinese colloquial term for a male heir

The Ding Grant

The Hong Kong British government began to develop the New Territories (NT) in 1972

Facing strong opposition from the NT indigenous residents the government granted them a privilege

Each NT Ding was permitted to build Ding a house on premium-free land

Up to 3 stories high, each storey under 700 square feet

You created a miracle, Uncle To

The villagers were united

I was just their spokesman

No false modesty, Uncle To!

You accomplished a lot!

The Ding House Policy...

has kept things stable for decades

But things are different now

The number of Dings in the NT has grown to more than 200,000 Dings

Hong Kong (HK) is short of land

If every Ding builds a house... Ding

it'd be a waste of land

And it's unfair to other HK people

So the Ding House Policy...

has run its course

You met with officials yesterday

and treat me to a drink today

You must have good news

The government will stop...

authorizing Ding Houses...

from next year onwards

And in exchange?

We're allowed to...

pool our rights...

and put up 30-storey buildings...

in the form of co-ops

With each Ding Grant...

you can build...

one 1600-square-feet apartment

In other words...

a 1600-square-feet luxury flat

So, over 100,000 Ding Grants...

means over 100,000 luxury flats

Congratulations!

Welcome to big-time property development

Cheers

But building a high-rise is harder than putting up a Ding House

Without financial support from you...

a bumpkin like me...

would be helpless

You're too kind!

What about the Legislative Council?

We'll return any surplus land...

to the government...

without charge

But...

what about the local property tycoons?

What would they say?

With you in the picture, Wan...

they'll understand

HK is happy

We're happy

Harmony prevails!

Right, harmony is paramount

Cheers!

We've pooled more than 500 grants already

With an official green light, we can start works

Mr Wan will have to

invest $720 million in our company

We'll need the extra $200 million...

because there'll be bribes to pay

when we sell the flats

is a sensitive issue Ding high-rise

No-one would agree to it, if it isn't worth their while

Keung

Whatever your ways may be...

I don't know...

and I don't care

Uncle To and I are talking billions

$200 million is chicken feed

Mr Wan

Is something else worrying you?

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, cheers!

That brother of yours, Yuen

Where is he tonight?

Well, he's been quite busy

On the recently approved site for Ding high-rise...

Yuen own the biggest piece of land

He's been close with Szeto from the Developers Association

And Szeto represents the 4 major property tycoons

The Ding high-rises will devalue

the lands... Ding high-rises

they've been hoarding for years

Their only hope of scuppering the plan lies with Yuen

We'll talk to him, don't worry!

Yuen!

You're welcome to eat here...

but not talk here

Come on, Yuen, we need to talk!

There's nothing to talk about!

I've heard that...

he can be a bit difficult

What's there to say?

We're brothers!

Calm down

Let's talk...

Uncle To

If Yuen's land goes to Szeto's hands...

If Szeto gets that land...

not wanting trouble, the government...

will ask us to handle it peacefully

In that case...

I'd be in no position to say anything

We'd have to give the tycoons...

parts of our Ding high-rise project Ding high-rise

That would take our company back to square one...

working for the interests of real estate tycoons!

As for you...

You'll be a nobody in HK

We didn't team up just to return to the old ways

Did we?

Let's put all that aside for now

Come...

it's the Mid-Autumn Festival!

We should watch the fireworks!

Aren't fireworks illegal in HK?

Out here...

we make our own law!

Look!

You can only see this in the NT

It's more beautiful than the display on Victoria Harbour

Bringing eco-friendly planning to the countryside!

HK's largest real-estate development

Harmony, development, heritage

NT Land Group will hold its IPO soon

Apply now!

What is this NT Land IPO bullshit?

How come I've never heard of it?

Where did you find this shit?

That doesn't matter

Press the button

See how many shares we get!

Which button?

Don't bother

None of us here...

will get a single share!

What? We're getting nothing?!

What does that mean?

Now they're kicking down the ladder?

That's right

Hang on

It was the Luk clan who pitched us the Ding high-rises

If we haven't handed our Ding Grants and land to you... Ding Grants

you wouldn't have this project!

Now you're listed on the stock market...

without consulting us

And we don't even get one share?

You think we're stupid?

Not exactly

We've given up the right to build a Ding House

What will my kids live on?

What about their kids?

Listen to me!

As Chuck just said...

no one here gets a share...

including us, the 4 Luk brothers!

You're kidding!

Shut your traps!

All of you!

We're fucked anyway

When we...

sold our Ding Grants and land to NT Land last year... Ding Grants

we got paid, didn't we?

So what if they're listed now?

It has nothing to do with us

And there's not a damn thing we can do about it!

Anyone can buy those shares

The NT will be overrun with outsiders!

That's right

Calm down!

Keung

You're Uncle To's right-hand man!

Say something!

I heard someone urging a rebellion

Was it you?

You?

Or you?!

You want to rebel?

Let's fight!

Hey!

Are we really going to rebel?

Yes!

You'll back us if we take NT Land on?

Yes!

That's good!

And that guy Wan is behind this!

I say we go for him first!

Yes!

"Which is the demon?

Which is the angel?"

"The two can look so much alike"

Nobody's seen Uncle To for months!

No one would believe...

he has nothing to do with this

Exactly!

Right, let's find out how many shares he holds!

Jau!

Jau, you brat...

You brat...

Come over.

We miss you.

5 years...

tough for you

Not that tough!

Just 5 years for drunk-driving and manslaughter...

plus a million dollar pay-off

That's worth it!

The sun's out, the future looks bright

Come over here

Look!

You know what world this is?

Our world!

And this is just Phase One

We've bought over 1,000 Ding Grants

We'll keep buying and building

Phase 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7

We'll have the biggest development

In time, we can even bring back...

the Chinatown Nightclub!

Yes, with call girl service too!

Jau!

The 4 of us...

owe all this to you

Accept our gratitude!

Here's $1 million payoff

Uncle To doesn't want an outsider to do it

Yuen may not be a kin...

but we grew up with him

But I'm running for district council

What are you saying, Paul?

We'll have nothing if we don't kill Yuen, you idiot!

If we hire an outsider...

Uncle To can do nothing about it

What happens to me if you go to jail?

Shut up! Men are talking!

You want a beating?

Why not kill her and do the job while you're at it?

I wouldn't stop you!

Let's draw lots!

I'm not a Luk

I'll do it

Don't worry, Jau

You didn't go to jail in vain!

Tell us if there's any way we can repay you!

Fine

Give me back my leg

Sure!

Left or right?

The middle one

OK, it's yours!

Help yourself!

Ms Luk!

Everyone's here for the inspection?

Ms Luk!

You've come out

Yes, I was just released

And this is...?

Our brother, Jau

Good to see you, Mr Luk

My surname is Law... Law Wing-Jau

Mr Law

Jau's mother was a Luk

He may not share our family name

but he's as close as a real brother!

Never say I didn't warn you...

Jau is our enforcer! A real fighter!

Fu

Good thing you're here

What?

The building materials I ordered will be delivered tomorrow

Have you alerted the villagers?

Yes, Sir! Everything's under control

Then I'll tell them to deliver at 9 am

Let me have a drag

What was that position called?

You guess

You're so naughty!

Hey...

You guys... finished already?

Premature ejaculators, are you?

What?

Did you take good care of him?

He's been dry for 5 years!

I gave him full service, Chuck!

Show me

Piss off

Looks dry to me

Not enough?

Let's go...

for another round

Go after him instead

he looks famished

You know me

I've had 2 rounds already!

I ain't like you!

You're full just looking at Yu!

What a wimp!

Everyone around knew...

Miss Luk was...

Jau's first and only true love

You looking for a spanking?

Listen, my dear sex workers...

The brothers have things to do

You can go now

Thanks

- Have fun next time. - This way.

- This way. - Bye Bye

Bye!

So naughty

How naughty?

Huge boobs!

You can have her next time

Jau

We've bought...

2 Ding Grants for you Ding Grants

Construction fees included...

you don't have to pay a cent

You get 2 flats...

worth $20 million each

Small change

We can discuss later

I want to work with you guys again

Jau

I want you to take a break

Because I'm crippled?

I want you to take a break

Noted

Come on, cheers

Paul, we need more booze

You hear that?

"My life once stretched before me...

like a plain under the white clouds"

"My heart pounded joyfully like the blue sea"

"Those were my childhood years, caressed by the wind"

"That was when we vowed...

our love would never change"

"But the world is ever-changing...

and we took different paths"

"Who had the power...

to uproot the plain?"

"Who had the power to turn the sea...

into a raging torrent?"

"The wind still caresses us...

our vow withstands the storm"

"Even if the sea dries up...

and the hills crumble to dust..."

"Our vow will never change"?

"Who had the power...

to uproot the plain?"

"Who had the power to turn the sea...

into a raging torrent?"

The wind...

We've got 4 hours before the drugs wear out

Insert their SIM-cards here

Counter-surveillance alarm

They probably each have one

Check them all

Put these on the alarms

Moon! Forget it

Call a tow truck!

We'll chip in for the truck fee

We've been waiting for 3 hours!

I'm starving to death

Hey, pal

Help me out!

Say what?

Help me out!

Sorry

It's night soil

You'll get used to the smell

Spare tire?

I don't have one

So what do I use?

We drive the same truck

I've been waiting all night for this

You have a spare tire, right?

Hey, hey...

I'll pay you back for sure

I always repay my debts

you can ask anyone

I don't have the money for a tow truck

Please...

Can you really fix this, pal?

Screw it tight, pal

If this falls off and hits someone...

there will be hell to pay

Give me your number...

I'll return the tire tomorrow

You don't want to?

That's fine!

I'm Moon, I live in the next village

Here's my number

Remember to call me

Protect our home!

Protect our home!

Return our land!

Return our land!

Protect our home!

Protect our home!

Return our land!

Return our land!

Sir, we don't care who owns the land?

We have a big shipment to unload

Sir...

what do we do about...

the dispute at the village?

The entrance is blocked with villagers

All the villages around here know...

that I own this road

I even have the land deed

I decide who passes and who doesn't

No one can change that!

Come closer...

and we'll douse you in shit!

Uncle Nine, it's all ready

US$3,300

So expensive?

$100 per bucket of night soil

$500 per person

5 persons, 12 buckets

That's $3,300

It's a hell of a deal!

I'll pay $3,000

There's already a discount!

Then you can go!

I'll keep the shit

$1,000 for 12 buckets?

Fine, $3,000

I'll take it

Thanks a lot!

Here, $400 each

Thank you!

Take the buckets over there

If reporters show up...

remember...

to burst into tears

Don't worry

We know what to do

Moon

You're so trustworthy

Kuen says Hung gave her only $300!

Huh?

You think there'll be a fight?

Hung offered $100 extra for a fight

Come on, Auntie Gil

Will you pay $100 extra for a fight?

Huh?

Fine... $100 extra

OK, all clear!

Got it, Ms Luk

Jau wants to work with us again

Working together is OK...

but how much does he want?

We've already spent...

loads on him in these 5 years

How much more does he want?

But he can see you flaunting your money

He can buy half a flat with what you spent on that watch!

Who knows what he's thinking?

We're at war

We can use an extra man

For what?

Get him to rat on Uncle To?

Disclose that...

Uncle To ordered Yuen's hit?

What are you saying?

If he admitted what he did...

we'd be dragged down with him!

How about this?

What if we turn Jau over to the cops?

Yeah, we could do that

Over these few years...

everyone's changed a lot

Is that so?

They haven't changed at all

I thought things would change...

once the Ding Grants are repealed... Ding Grants

and the high-rise project takes off, but...

Don't worry

It'll be fine...

once we take care of them

I've bought something for you

This looks exactly like...

the pair you gave me before

I got it at the same shop

The owner remembers you

He asked what happened to...

that bully with the curly hair?

Really?

I should grow my hair and perm it

Then go ask him for protection fee

Don't do that

He gave me a discount!

Don't come here again...

unless it's essential

There are some things...

you should stay away from

Thank you

Wan wants to see you

Meet us here tonight

What's up, Jau?

Can we start?

I was waiting for you, Joe

This is the Control Programme

For the past six months...

I've followed every step of your plan

There's a camera in their offices, cars and homes

One for each place

They all transmit via 3G

Without the telecom support arranged by Ms Luk...

we couldn't have done this

Thanks

It's my job

Try it

1 is Keung

2 is Fu

3 is Chuck

and 4 is Paul

If the audio isn't clear...

you can activate their phones

She says white flowers are for graves

Need anything else, Mr Luk?

I love you

He's still chasing pussy

He doesn't have to chase

That pussy's already his

Look!

I booked a room at the Gold Coast tonight

Go there after work

Take a long bath and wait for me

Sure thing

How did you end up in jail?

What were you in for?

Illegal use of a computer

They should've kept you locked up

Who uses a computer legally nowadays?

There aren't enough prison cells

What else have you done...

since you got out?

Ms Luk asked me...

to spy on a stockbroker

The guy was selling NT Land's IPO documents to Keung

Then I heard that the broker was involved in insider trading

It was all about getting his son into a good school

Miss Luk leaked it to a newspaper

They strung out the revelations...

over a 20-part report

He got daily visits from the cops

His license was revoked

He couldn't stand it and jumped off a building

Hand me the remote

This is the database

You have access to 500 hours of recording

We'd be dragged down with him!

How about this?

What if we turn Jau over to the cops?

We could do that!

What the fuck are you saying?

Jau is our brother!

Remember that!

I'm just kidding

Don't take it so seriously!

No family conflicts

Remember that, Paul!

If it wasn't for Jau...

that dog would've bitten off...

your dick...

when you were 7

So he can have my dick in return!

We've both been in jail

We know how bad people can be

Ms Luk is no exception

I know

I say this because I respect you a lot

A woman is either a blessing...

or a curse

I said...

I know!

Good

Go on

This phone is? linked with...

the control program

You can watch from anywhere

This is for you

Remember to set a password

And...

this is a counter-surveillance alarm

If there's a surveillance device...

anywhere within 10 metres...

this thing will vibrate

They all carry one

An expert may be working for them

What are you up to, Fu?

You call this controlled?

It's under control, Wan

You called the cops

I didn't call the cops

The delivery men just played it by the book

In legal terms...

Uncle Nine's great-great-grandfather really did buy that road

Fu!

OK

I'll talk to Uncle Nine for you

huh?

Can you make your call outside?

Hello, Uncle Nine?

It's Fu... can you hear me?

Don't curse my mother...

she's your sister!

Listen, pull the villagers out

We can talk it through man-to-man

How long would you last...

when the cops turn rough

What?

You'll bring a chopper?

Uncle Nine

That's not Uncle Nine on the phone

Can you see who he's talking to?

We can use GPS to triangulate the position

It's someone at the village entrance

We can use the village office's surveillance system

You can see the village entrance from it

It's him!

Uncle Nine!

What?

Go to hell

Hey! Get away!

Oh, goodness!

That's our shit!

Moon, this way!

It's a mess!

Uncle Nine fights with the truckers!

Can we access his computer screen?

He's also watching the live feed

Don't move it!

I didn't

His computer controls the camera

We can see when he's moving it

And he can see when we're moving it

Chuck

See if someone touched the camera at the village

Let me have a check

Let go!

Hey

Hello?

No, It's fine...

it's only my sons playing

It's alright

Alright, that's it

The NT had always been peaceful...

till you started building high-rise

Digging everywhere...

filling in ponds...

ruining the feng shui!

We swallowed our anger

But now you beat people up!

You know what?

More than fifty men in hospital!

And they have families!

You're destroying families!

What's the price for that?

I do unto others...

as they do unto me

From now on, if those contractors...

set foot in our village again...

I'll teach them a lesson!

You can call the cops!

See what'll happen to your high-rises

Uncle Nine...

we need to resolve this quickly

We've signed a contract with those people?

Out!

Uncle Nine...

what do I tell my father?

So you realize you have to answer to your father?

Get him back here!

You shouldn't even talk to me!

You're only a woman

You can't even enter the Ancestral Hall

Don't talk to me

Let's go!

Uncle Nine!

On with the meeting

I have a solution

Let's cancel the contract with the building material suppliers

We'll reassign the work...

to the villagers

A smile means you agree, right?

OK

u've invested $2 billion in the company

You can't just walk out!

We're still talking

It's a meeting...

do you understand?

Come on, sit down

Sit down!

Fine, let's have a meeting

The contract...

can be changed...

it can be cancelled too

But the penalty will be $500 million

Who will pay?

You or me?

We'll revise the contract

We'll still buy the materials

But we'll make Uncle Nine and the villagers as subcontractors

The supplier is a listed company!

You can't change the terms as you like

How overbearing!

You're overbearing as you want to put the NT on the stock market!

Keung...

dad wants a word

Uncle To

Keung

I'm in Huangshan

Back in two days, let's talk then

Good!

Activate his phone

This is the front camera

This is the back camera

Can I access his screen?

Sure!

They say Uncle Nine was beaten up hard

He made so much money

He should bear it!

How can you say that?

We're from the same village!

Same village, my ass!

They won't share a cent with me

We all know he's an asshole

But if they didn't build the high-rises...

we'd all be broke

Moon...

the check!

US$46

Here's $50, keep the change

Thanks, Hung!

Hung...

any work for me today?

I got something for you

We'll pave a road this afternoon

We need 4 people for traffic control

You want to do it?

Sure

Thanks Hung!

I need to shit

Be ready at the top of the hour

Don't be late!

Sure

- Check! - Thanks!

Who ordered BBQ pork rice?

Who ordered BBQ pork rice?

Who ordered...

Hey!

Who do you work for?

Those damn telecom companies...

no one answer the hotline

When they do, they just say "reset"

Then they charge a fortune for house calls

Fiddle things around a bit and say it's fixed

Same old shit every time

Yay! It's fixed!

See? I told you!

Hey!

Go clean up outside

Then you can play your games

OK

This kid of mine...

all he does is playing games

Spends all day on the computer...

playing his games

Where's the future in that?

This thing is all rusted

How come?

Must be crappy quality

When they made this...

they wouldn't expect...

buckets of water in the house!

Don't mock me!

This is how I make a living!

What exactly do you do?

Lots of things...

errands at the building site...

takeout lunches...

laundry

I even rent out my land for farming

I sell tofu, soya milk and corn juice

All homemade!

Do you want to buy some?

Why don't you just sell the land?

You'd make a fortune

Land...

is for farming...

not for trading

Don't you know that?

OK

I'm off

Hey

Call me...

if you need some takeout

No takeout surcharge for you

Shall I give you my number?

I remember it

6770 9394

Bye bye.

Keung

Are you here for the rent?

It's working now

Call our hotline if the problem comes back

Excuse me, please

No, I know you were...

at the village entrance this morning

I wanna check if you're OK

I am fine!

If you need money, ask me

You don't have to wear yourself out

Look, your place is like a garbage dump

Can't even see Yuen's memorial altar

Look at this mess

I'll have my maid come clean this up

Yuen

Watch over Moon and Sunny!

Protect them from strangers who want to bring trouble

Take this

I know you have backbone

But remember...

I'll always be here for you

Always...

Do you understand?

I know

Call me if you need anything

Do you have my number?

It's saved in my phone

What if you drop your phone?

Memorize it!

5888 8888

Remember it

I remember

Remember to call me

OK

I am leaving

OK

Call me!

OK

Jau!

Hey...

Jau

Thanks for all your hard work

Don't mention it

I'm just working for the company

This is Szeto

Jau, right?

Hello

Hello, Szeto

Without your telecom companies...

I couldn't have tapped Keung's lines!

No effort at all!

Jau...

are you happy with the office?

It's nice

Have a glass of red

Have you brought what I need?

Data on all the officials responsible for the Ding high-rises

A month ago...

Keung asked Yu for $50 million?

It's for bribing government officials

Watch him closely in these few days...

capture the evidence

We've been watching Keung for years...

but we don't even know who's in touch with him

Keung works for our company

If he screws up...

it will affect all of us

After the show the villagers put on today...

the business world knows that...

Keung and NT Land aren't getting along

No one...

will suspect the company

Wan, you put on...

one hell of a performance

Ha

Szeto, You've done a lot...

for the company

I'm just a glorified errand boy!

Your tycoons aren't altruists

What's in this for them?

Not much

They just hope...

to trade their farm lands...

for the land you don't need

With the high-rises and...

the government's new development areas...

the tycoons can't build on...

those lands for 20 years

It's just wasteland

They only want a fair trade

You'll have land to return to the government

And we can do business

That's only fair!

Your friends in the Commission...

stopped NT Land from being listed!

How is that fair?

There's always...

some sparring in business

The key is harmony

That's right

Harmony!

The IPO has to look good

You know that we NT people...

don't respond well to bullshit

If you screw it up...

you won't get an inch of land

You're lucky, Ms Luk!

You have a fighter and a scholar on your side!

I guarantee you that NT Land Group...

will be a blue-chip stock...

6 months after listing!

Come on!

Cheers!

Congratulations!

Cheers!

Come on!

Congratulations!

Thanks

I've been stupid!

I didn't realize until today that...

Jau didn't kill Yuen for the money

You said you two were fooling

around at that time

I don't think that's how he saw it!

I was pregnant with his child

But I had an abortion

Asshole! Why'd you hit so hard?

Sorry, Uncle Nine

I overdid it

What did the doctor say?

Forget it, it had to look convincing

The lawyer said...

you'll do 2 months at most...

with a year's probation

It's OK if I'm jailed

I'll come visit you...

and bring anything you'd need

Don't be stupid!

You two aren't supposed to know each other!

You got paid...

you've eaten...

do you plan to move in too?

Huh?

Listen

You and Pong are now the agents

Take Wan's building materials and...

switch them with Ping's counterfeit stuff

Flooring and windows for you...

plumbing and electrics for Pong

The real stuff goes to the container port, gate 9B, warehouse 4

The buyers will be waiting

Make the deal on the spot

The cash goes into the Kuen Fat and Yee Fat accounts

Did you get all that?

Yes

Repeat it!

Take Wan's building materials and...

switch them with Ping's counterfeits

Flooring and windows for me

What's with all the people?

Signing over their Ding Grants

How much do they get?

Around $300,000 each

So little?

A flat will be $20,000 per sq ft!

Lots of poor folks in the NT

Most of those with grants...

are poor

They can't afford a Ding high-rise flat Ding high-rise

It'd be better to sell their rights

Make some money...

maybe gamble for more

The really bad ones...

end up taking drugs

They get addicted young

For them...

that $300,000 is a lifeline

That's all?

Don't complain!

You snorted a kilo in less than a month!

Dragon Boy!

Dragon Boy!

What?

Well...

sign here

How much did you say you'd pay per grant?

US$300,000

I gave you $100,000 advance last night

It says $600,000 here

No way!

Look here

I can read English, man

You calling me a liar?

So what if you know English?

Sign it!

Sign it!

You can't hit me!

How dare you touch me, you little prick!

Shut the fuck up!

Calm down

I won't sign for less than $600,000

Will you sign?

If no one's signing, then we're done

Let's get out of here!

You know English, huh?

I speak a little English too!

A

B

C

D

E

What's the point of knowing English...

when you're broke?

I'm in charge here!

You know English?

Anyone else knows English?

Sign it!

So life is cheap here?

Without money or power...

life is cheap everywhere!

"Shall we have tea?"

He's messaging Paul

"Manchester United wants Messi"

"See you at Old Trafford"

That means Fat Ford's place

He's a drug dealer

Paul is picking up a shipment

Follow him

Where were we?

You stole my potates...

when you were a kid

My dog almost got your wee-wee

Yup, it almost bit it off!

Let's talk about your land

It's zoned "green belt"

You can't build on it

It's worthless

Then why do you want it?

Aunt Gil!

Our families are close

That's why I managed to get you $200 per sq ft for this land

I'm not selling

You want my land...

to build luxury flats

Selling at over $10,000 per sq ft

With that chicken feed...

I can't even buy a 400-sq-ft flat

Don't assume that this old hag is ignorant

I use the internet!

I know you do

Let me tell you the truth

There's a lot you won't find online

Uncle To told me to buy your land

We know the government plans...

to build a landfill next to it

They want to dump trash here

feng shui It will destroy the village's

That's why...

we wanna put up a temple...

for the Goddess of Mercy

The government won't dare...

That land will be developed...

if he drags the Goddess into this

The 4 of them...

Ding Grants are snatching and land

If they're fighting NT Land...

why put in all this effort?

Who are you calling?

Hello? Yes

Oh

I was just about to sign

Really?

I see... all right

Paul

What is it?

I won't sell

Why not?

A developer just offered me...

$1,000 per sq ft

$1,000?

How is that possible?

That won't help

When the development starts...

she still has to sell it cheap

That's later

At least she has a place to live now

I'm going to follow Paul

Uncle To is back

We'll meet him tomorrow

Try this on!

Didn't you want me to rest?

Didn't you want to work?

You changed your glasses?

I got it in Tsim Sha Tsui yesterday

No, they look like the pair...

Yu gave you years ago

Similar style, I guess

It's been over 10 years

When Uncle To ordered me...

to take Yu for an abortion...

that was the end for you and her

Do you understand?

How can I forget?

When you...

took Yu to the car...

the two of us...

got in a big fight

I know

If you hadn't thrashed me...

I'd have got killed

I'm glad you understand

Don't think too much

We'll get rich!

Men should make their marks

So how can I help you?

I'll tell you later

Something's up, I need to go!

664/233 652/889 3003/11

739/738/8 57RP58RP

What'd you find about those numbers?

I've searched...

but got nothing

I'll hack into the game...

to try to find the phone

How long will it take?

2 days

I've hacked into over 1,000 computers

I'm using it...

to help me find the phone

Since we have time, watch this!

Just making a connection, what's special about it?

Stay tuned

Why's he gone to Fu's place?

For Fu's wife!

How's my editing?

You deserve an Oscar!

Don't watch so much porn

Get to work

What's his name?

Luk Jing-Hing

Eldest son Luk Jing-Hing

Light the lantern!

First bow!

Second bow!

Third bow!

Live long

Be smart

This is yours

Uncle To

Uncle To

Jau comes to see you

Why bring him?

To threaten me?

You want him to rat on me...

because you didn't get shares?

Will you tell I ordered Yuen's murder?

Huh?

If I upset you, I'll leave

Why?

You've helped the company a lot!

You need not go!

So you worked for the company

Haven't I paid you already?

Look at you

In just a few years...

you're already decked up in bling

You're prosperous

Isn't that enough?

In your heart, you know damn well...

if I've had my fair share

Whatever you won't give...

I'll take them myself

You want to take me on?

With what weapon?

664DD233, 652DD889, 57RP58RP

57RP58RP

003DD11, 739B738CDD8...

Hold on...

those are lands held by my company

What the fuck do you mean?

What the fuck do I mean?

All of your land has been...

exchanged by Wan and Szeto

Soon, the 4 major developers...

will own half the NT

You're getting senile!

Now you know what I've got

Are you ready to talk?

Everyone!

Everyone!

A toast to Uncle To!

Bottoms up!

Please sit down

Uncle To

What conditions did Keung propose?

Szeto...

will exchange his wasteland...

for my surplus land

What were their conditions for you?

That we have to work with them...

if we want NT Land listed

You'd rather work with them...

than with me?

It's not just you and me...

the boss have decided

The boss?

You use them to threaten me?

Tell them that...

we won't listen anymore!

Tell them...

to go fuck themselves!

That goes for you too!

Uncle To

In the NT...

only males can be heirs

If NT Land doesn't get listed...

Yu...

can never be your heir

That's...

my family business

It has nothing to do with you!

Dad

It was me who decided...

to cooperate with Szeto, not Wan

Back then...

I was just a small-time village chief

The tycoons came to snatch our land

They all but bullied us

Your mother

It's your mother...

who asked me to stand up...

for those powerfless villagers

I told them...

I would fight for them to the end

You know what happened?

They had someone run a car over your mother!

And now you want me...

to work with those murderers?

Don't, dad!

How can I work with them?!

Dad!

Dad, are you all right?

Get the medicine!

Are you OK? Get the medicine!

It's OK, dad

Dad... are you OK?

It'll be fine

Hurry!

You're all right now

No, something's going to happen...

for sure

My dear

You can't beat them

It's impossible

I know

Let's go home

Go home

Give me that

Uncle To just gives us 5% of the shares?

That's only $2 billion!

Do we look like beggars?

Wait

What does he want in return?

Handle the chiefs of 20 odd villages

How?

Are they getting a cut from our shares too?

No way!

You don't even have the shares yet!

Even if you do...

there won't be enough to go around

Wan is backed by...

some American banks

With a few tricks...

he can dilute our holdings to nothing!

You're only looking at this bottle

If it's too diluted...

add more liquor!

How?

Wan holds the bottle!

No, look again

The bottle's in our hands

Right

we've collected over 900 grants lately

We haven't transferred all of them to NT Land

And the land?

Over 600,000 sq ft in our village are still in our hands

There's more land in nearby villages

Hang on

Where do we get the money?

If each village chief chips in $100 million...

we'll be in business!

Once we start building...

investment will flood in!

Our own company?

Yes, the 4 of us!

We can get listed!

So the fortune teller was right!

"The man in charge is too obsessed with power"

"It's time for new blood to take over"

We can keep what we earn!

OK, loudmouth

How about a company name?

There're 4 of us, how about Four Aces Corporation?

Good!

We're gonna kick some asses!

Wait...

you think the government will approve?

We decide, not them

Right?

Four Aces Corporation will prevail!

Nothing tops a hand with four aces!

Come on!

Cheers!

This sounds nice...

but they're all misers...

they won't bring cash to the table

And if they join, won't our shares be diluted?

Hey

A month ago...

the lands Keung talked about...

were still under NT Land

But recently they were transferred to shell companies

And it looks like...

Szeto holds shares of all of them

These are government documents

The one who tipped off Keung...

must be very high up

As Four Aces Corp...

of course we'll run the show!

Why bother?

Those morons won't even understand!

12049

12059

Are these plot numbers?

No!

I booked plane tickets for you and Sunny

A study tour to Europe tomorrow

I am busy...

can't go on a trip

Who's that woman?

Moon

Yuen's widow

True...

but I can't just go tomorrow

He's on holiday

It'll be good for him

Are you eating here?

I came to eat with you!

Just half a bowl

I'm on a diet

You're not eating?

Sunny's doing his homework

Don't wait, you go ahead

No...

a family...

should eat together, I'll wait for him

About Sunny's tuition...

don't pay for me anymore

I didn't pay...

the principal wouldn't take my money

Boarding costs money too

You'd rather not be reliant...

but I love helping people

You must know how I feel about you...

right?

I know you're good to me

You take care of me and my son

But I still remember...

how my husband died

I have nothing to do with Jau killing Yuen!

Ignore all that crazy gossip!

I know it wasn't you...

but I only love Yuen

So I'm waiting!

No need!

I wanna wait, that's my business

Time to eat, Sunny!

Jau's back

I saw him with Uncle Keung

Why didn't you tell me?

Jau has served his time...

repaid all his debts

Forget it

How can I?

My husband should be the one sitting there

Yuen trusted me

I told him I'd jump ship with him

He was waiting for me that night...

not knowing I drove there to kill him

Get jilted?

Uncle To asks you to kick me out?

Nope

I'm hungry

Late-night snack

Come on!

Where are we going?

Macau...

to a great crab congee place

It's a VIP flight

Get in!

You're out so late

Well...

it's my night shift

I happened to pass by...

so I'd thought I'd buy some...

Good

My car's broken again

Oh

Since my hubby died...

this car's had a grudge against me

It's not grudge...

the car's just gotten old

It's only 6 years old

When my husband was alive...

he kept his car going for 10 years

He hated wasting...

so he was always fixing things

Thanks

Take a seat

Come on

Have a beer

Thank you

You're welcome

You've done so much for me

I should buy you dinner

Fine

BBQ pork rice

No way

It should be something nicer

Call me when you're free

OK

You remember my number?

I do

6770 9394

You really do remember it!

It's easy, it sounds like...

"Be there or be square" in Chinese

Mom

Mom! Auntie Gil is in trouble!

I refuse to sell you my land

Now you dump debris on it

You want to ruin my land?

You people are shameless!

Uncle Nine, how could you?

How could I?

I'm standing on Keung's land

I can do what I like here

Wait!

I'll call him

Ignore her

Keep dumping!

You've gone too far!

Auntie Gil's old...

you want to give her a heart attack?

She's one of us!

Beat it!

He's only got a few guys!

There are more of us

Let's fight him!

You 2 assholes, don't you wanna work?

You wanna starve?

Calm down

More of you?

Don't like it?

Come on, hit me!

Fucking useless!

Keep going!

Stop dumping!

Boss! Are you OK?

Well, well, well...

you're screwed, kid

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Wanna fight me?

Get me right here!

Come on!

Right on the artery!

Come on!

The aorta!

The aorta!

Where's your aorta?

Is that your aorta?

Is that it?

Come on!

Come get some!

Get up!

Hit me if you've got the balls!

Stop!

I said, stop it!

Let's go

Uncle To!

Wait

I'll fetch it for you

Dad...

why are you up so late?

Today, I had my lawyer establish a trust

I put all my NT land shares...

into it

No more IPO!

Uncle To...

the Commission is about to approve the IPO

We can't stop just because you say so

The Commission won't approve...

as I won't exchange land with the tycoons

The land is held by the company

The exchange...

is up to the board

Right

The land does indeed belong to the company

But here in the NT...

the top guy has final say on land trade

Now in the NT...

that top guy is me!

As for the board...

the majority shareholder...

also happens to be me

Dad...

our shares together...

outnumber yours

You ungrateful brat...

what are you saying?

Together, we got more shares...

than you

OK

I'm the one...

who ordered Yuen's assassination

I'll turn myself in tomorrow!

Every dirty secret this company has...

I'll spill them all out!

Let me do it

What are you doing?

Are you nuts?

Get out of the way!

Don't

Step aside

No, please

What are you doing? This is murder!

Dad won't last long anyway...

he's only got two months left

I beg you!

I thought...

I could turn over a new leaf...

with you in Hong Kong

It turns out I can't

I'm sorry

I'm sorry

It's daylight already...

what happened to that snack?

This car will take you to a hotel

Take this to room 12049

Someone will come pick it up

Afterwards... get back in the car

Keung asked Yu for $50 million...

to bribe officials

We've been watching Keung for years...

not knowing who's in touch with him

Who's that?

Mark, the government official...

in charge of the NT

He grants permission for the Ding high-rises

From now on, you'll liaise with him

He'll never call you...

or meet you for coffee

Any transaction would...

take place outside HK

He's got many officials...

to help us

If this goes belly-up...

heads will roll

The Ding Grants...

the land...

the officials... we have it all wrapped up

The future's bright for Four Aces!

We'll be a match for NT Land now

A match?

We'll hammer them!

Cheers!

Mark will contact you...

in the game

Call me when he contacts you

I've got it

What's going on?

Huh?

Sunny!

We're moving out

A woman and kid alone, where will you go?

She won't wait around...

for your men to come for revenge

That's crazy...

no one will do that while I'm here

Moon

Ignore him!

It's not up to you!

No...

it's up to me

You can't just go

Keung's looked after you two...

for years

He's spent lots of money

You did give me money...

but I haven't spent a cent

All the rent I owe you is in there

Count it yourself!

Count my ass!

The boy's schooling costs a fortune

Does the tin hold that much?

Stay right there!

I'll call accountants to check

If there's a cent missing...

you'll be sued, bitch!

Fine

I'll cover for her

Be serious, Auntie Gil

I'll chip in too

Me too!

Is this enough?

Here's my share!

That's for you

Hey!

You nosy pricks!

Do we look like beggars?

He's dead?

Who's dead?

Uncle To is dead!

These animals

Bullying people everywhere

They'll get their due!

When did Uncle To die?

We don't know exactly

He was like this when we came home

Actually...?

Uncle To's health was failing

He didn't want people to know

That's great!

Those 2 are the last ones standing!

Get them while they're down!

Good timing!

Don't be so sad

Nanny

What's the emergency?

Tell me...

how did Uncle To die?

His disbetes acted up...

and he didn't get his shot in time

That brought on a heart attack

I found the official that Keung bribed

I'll deal with him

From now on...

you stay out of this

Sorry, I lied

When Dad's illness acted up...

I didn't give him the shot

You won't see me again...

when this is over

He killed our baby

You should go...

take care!

You too

Joe, pack up!

Action tomorrow!

OK

Find the home you dreamed of...

in Four Aces City

Four Aces Corporation

the NT people's real estate group

What is that Four Aces shit?

Didn't you get us shares in NT Land?

Yes

All of us here...

gave you land and grants...

so as to fight Uncle To

What the hell...

is Four Aces City?

Uncle To croaked

You think his daughter will give you shares?

Think again!

We have grants and land...

so why not do it ourselves?

Am I right?

Four Aces will be...

the second Ding high-rise developer! Ding high-rise

High-rises?

How will you pay for it?

Good question!

The infrastructure is in place

We're just putting up buildings...

not much money is needed

The 4 of us will put in a billion

How much are you willing to invest?

Decide for yourselves

A billion? I can manage that...

in sperm count

Listen to me

Come on

Look outside

What world do you see?

That's our world!

We've more than a thousand rights

We'll keep buying and building

Phase 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8

We'll have the biggest development

Right?

We're talking billions

If I can get a share of that...

wow

I'll bring back Chinatown Night Club

Great minds think alike!

Count me in!

Sure!

Let's discuss this

This is how Uncle To started

A bunch of morons

We'll find a broker...

to play a few tricks...

to dilute their shares

We'll fork out $100 million...

but call it 1 billion

We'll be in charge anyway

As Four Aces Corp...

of course we'll run the show!

Why bother?

Those morons won't even understand!

So you think we're morons?

You are son of a moron!

Calm down, it's a misunderstanding

Calm down.

You morons.

Leave my dad alone!

Don't fight!

Silent!

Hey, look at this!

Bunch of fucking hicks

Morons!

I'm helping you to make money!

What the fuck do you know?

Get out!

Fu...

Come on!

Fu!

Fu!

Run!

Hello

Chuck?

We're fucked!

Fu is on his way to you...

Who are you calling?

Wrong number

What?

Sir!

We found drug in the house

Keep searching

Yes, sir!

Only Keung is left now

Lend me your car

Where are you going?

To take care of Keung

Hey!

You're really fucked

What do you want?

Find who did it!

$100,000!

Where are you going, boss?

To Central

Your alarm and phone are tapped

Bugs have been installed

This one runs on 3G...

it has GPS

I'll scramble the feed...

so he won't find you

Give me some time...

I'll ferret him out

Got it!

He's in your neighborhood

Keung, someone's here for you

Thanks for bringing it

Here's what you asked for

Here, a little something

No need

Just a small token

Thanks

Joe

Why are you here?

I told you to stay away!

Keung got away!

Did you let him go?

So...

So we've wasted our time

You let Keung get away...

how can we work together?

Joe...

give me a hand

Joe...

it's over

Get out of here

What about you?

A few loose ends to tie up

I ran into Moon...

she took me for you

Get going!

What is this?

Who is he?

Mark?

Mark and I will turn ourselves in

Mark'll testify that...

Keung and I bribed him

Who's that?

Mark, the government official...

in charge of the NT

He grants permission for the Ding high-rises

From now on you'll liaise with him

He'll never call you...

or meet you for coffee

Any transaction would...

take place outside HK

He's got many officials to help us

Mark...

will you cooperate?

Jau...

you've got vision

Sacrifice yourself for the common good

Don't worry

I'll get you the best lawyer

No need

I'm paid to do this

What?

How can you weigh our relation in cash?

How else should it weigh?

What do you want?

Keung!

Hey

Sit down!

Calm down

I have something for you

Are you nuts? Get out of the way!

Step aside

What are you doing? This is murder!

Dad won't last long anyway...

he's only got 2 months left

Step aside

Keung...

how much do you want?

You'll pay whatever I ask, right?

Keung

I've nothing to do with this

Neither do the bosses I work for

You know that

We're businessmen, just want profits

If you want to cooperate...

call me

Bitch

Yu

What a fucking couple!

Yu

Come on!

Everything's under control

Fu! Get out!

Sorry

I couldn't finish the job

I'm not going anywhere

Moon! Let me do it!

Harder!

Uncle Keung

It will be fine

Trust me, it's OK

Hey, pal!

When did you get out?

About a month ago

Why didn't you call me?

I've been busy!

Really?

Who are you spying on now?

Auntie Gil sold me this land...

for $1,000 per sq ft

It's in a "green belt"

It's worth much less than that...

only $200 at most

Auntie Gil fooled you!

Didn't you say...

land wasn't for trading?

I wanna find out what it's for

Fine

I'll teach you

Are you all right, Paul?

Keung, my wee wee's gone!

It got scared and shrank

You're gross, Fu!

Run, Yu, that dog is coming!

"God'll never let the kind be bullied"

Shut up, Chuck, it's catching up!
