You did it again - thank you

professor, you keep taking these big case, sooner or later...

I know. You have to do what is necessary

to deal with these low-lived scumballs

but professor, can't you think it might put your own life in danger?

True, but it's more dangerous if they're out in society

One of these days you'll be on your own

I don't have much of a gift for you when you go back to hk

but this book here should be useful to you

when you're fighting against crime

I won't let you down

professor, look out

Come on, let's get out of here

- Keep it. Get out of this place, go on, go - You're crazy

Shit

no. Look out

Be serious

eat, don't play

good

Why don't you listen to me?

Officer, look

Stop him

baby

Mammy...

Boss, have you fixed everything?

Yes

ok

Mr hsia

Your honor, I got a hospital report

the whole liang family, eight of them

had been murdered

Now my witness liang is silenced

I have no other witness to testify against

these 2 gentlemen's drug-trafficking

& killings

so they can now be scot free

objection, objection, objection

objection sustained

mr hsia, watch your language

this book doesn't contain legal articles alone

they also represent social justice & human dignity

but it is now being challenged

objection, your honor

I think mr hsia's wasting

my clients' time

objection sustained

cut short your speech

my teacher told me that man made the law

when it doesn't uphold righteousness

someone should stand up to challenge crime

objection

your honor

no objections are needed

the hearing is adjourned to July 14

court

Thank you

How's it, sir? Acquitted again?

The prosecution witness has been murdered

no wonder chou ting-kuang

pointed at my nose

challenging me to arrest him

mr hsia, does the law protect

the citizens or outlaws?

I'll try to prove this personally

Don't you feel sorry being

unable to sue the guilty?

Feeling sorry won't solve the problem

there must be a solution

do you assume the defendants guilty or not?

No idea

I'll shoot them one after another

good, I'll send you a shotgun

then I become a lawyer to defend you

my hands tremble. I'm getting old

you do it, and I'll acquit you

are you serious?

You're clever. Take this doll

how do you know I got full marks, uncle?

I know you're nice, so ll've bought you this

uncle, I'll buy you ice-cream

okay

daddy, give me money

you promised to buy it. Go on

what's your decision?

After 3 years' investigation

by the police

with documents piled up

I'm 100% sure I can prosecute them

with you as the only witness

what if anything happens to my family of 87

you're going to be alright

I assure you

please pass me the ball, sir?

What's your name?

I'm fatty

uncle, you can't park here

or the police may sue you

thank you

bye-bye

bye-bye

You're wicked, you killed at 8 members

see if anyone dare to backbite you again

well done. Have you got the money?

Yes, thank you

good, let's get in touch again. Bye-bye

he knows nothing but asking for money

wel, how much can we get on this?

$10 million

what? $10 million?

Not $14 million?

The $5 million has gone to "crown"

chou, it's worthwhile

if we can live in peace

he stands to gain

he got the money without bearing the blame

but we are humiliated in court

we shouldn't have worked with him

we'd have still been in jail then

in jail?

He'd have been in hell

chou, don't say that in public

"crown" is much tougher than we

had he known we went against him, he might have ruined us

ruined us?

Anyway, we must watch out

I'll go and fix that amount

tell them to get the money tomorrow

wel, you must be alert

Mr wei

Wait for me here, please

yes

The boss is in trouble

Boss

crash!

Boss

Hello, mr chou, this is hung

the boss was bumped off

listen, bring the money to my home

yes, I'll come right away

7-number

Bad, no more 6-number

6-number

what's the matter with you?

It's 4-number, not 6-number

I said 6-number

you said it. I take

don't take me for a nut

6-number is not enough. What position?

East

anyway, this is 4-number,

not 6-number

quiet! I make

make? Stop dreaming

cid

okay, a police officer has the say

yes, madam

Buffalo

keep away! I'm gambling

and I keep away from sex when I do

only 2 persons can see my hole card

my wife and my mistress

you're only a caucassian woman

What's so special being a female cop?

Listen, this is mahjong school

not a police station

Don't draw wantonly in public

madam, take it east

when I come to storm, I never turn round

I won't turn round to look at you apple-polishers

she calls you apple-polishers! Hear that?

Polish her apple now

Madam, be gentle. It's good for your old age

they did it, sir

stay where you are!

They did it. Take them

stand up

one pair of handcuffs for four

madam, mr wang called to see you

good. Take them for me

book them for attempted murder, dope-pushing

assaulting, kidnapping and...

And what?

They look disgusting

take them back - yes

you're damned

get going

good, good

I'm new here. Only a small thing

this is yours truly, help yourself

help yourself

help yourself

eat. It's nice

madam, eat. Forget your work now

you've made such a mess

it's palatable

where do you live? Your home number?

Don't ever tell my wife, sir

why are you so henpecked?

Brother, let me

take your hand off me, please

you fix him

sit over there

look, you've made him mad

what's your charge?

Indecent assault

it's quite normal

how did you do it?

I caressed the ass of a foreign girl

what? Foreign girl?

How could you do such a thing?

It's rare

rare? Elephants are rare too

there's only one in hk

why did you choose to do that to a foreigner?

You must be racially prejudiced

why did you do it?

Because she can't shout in Chinese

I see

you have no scruples

look, green eyes, curly hair and hooked nose

I say to him you're beautiful

and she has a big waist and big potbelly

she looks like a tree at close range

and she has freckles and no feminine touch

I say you've good taste

thank you

her hands are like bear palms, her feet are...

Like a dragon boat

yes, like a dragon boat

so you understand Chinese

tell him who I am

a tough one must be an inspector

so even you got beaten

- quiet! - Keep away

do you know what's wrong with you?

What?

You're working too hard

is that so?

Where have you been?

Working on a case, sir

I know you're hardworking

listen,

wei Cheng was murdered

good news. Who did it?

Must be a double dealer

a policeman must round up anyone

even if he were a Robin hood

what a mockery

let me take it over

you're the best choice

but I'll bring you an assistant

you know,

I never need help, sir

that won't be necessary

Cindy, it's not a simple case

I'm afraid you can't handle it alone

sir...

Well, this is an order

okay, let me find him then

you aimed badly

sorry

never mind - sorry

sorry, madam

how long have you been

in the police force?

Have you done anything remarkable?

Madam, I've still not won recognition

no one has recognized you?

No

As of today, you work for me

yes, madam

don't think I admire your talent. Get going

Let's have tea after work

stand there

what is it?

You look like a hooligan. You're smoking

no smoking here, understand?

Enough

come here, come here

what is it?

Quiet! I know you've cigarettes in your pocket

show me everything

brother

hurry up

I know you...

What is it?

You look haggard, disheveled hair, no socks

look, you need a shave

is it an offence to be untidy?

Don't talk back. I may use force

enough - outrageous, you...

1750 - yes, madam

this is my new colleague

madam, I've known him for 30 years

30 years? You're already 32, bastard

didn't you see your father before 2?

So you're father and son

yes

but he knows better

you're damned

are you trying to kill?

Watch out, son

I will, daddy

a famous brand

where are you going, madam? I'll give you a lift

I'm not used to such a limousine

it's not guilty to walk

you must be okay

to have the Porsche

you also have a daddy,

but a poor one

madam, he needs your guidance

don't give him any dangerous mission

he's my only son

don't worry, I know

thank you

daddy, what a nagger you are

he must learn more english

What are you doing?

To work for you

no, it's windy and high

your dad may worry

it's safer to watch the cars here

what's it?

I'm madam. Take me up to have a look

okay, follow me

this roof is big

the air-conditioning duct the engine room's over there

the switch room is over there

over there is the exit. Let me show you

wait, madam

a friend

what? I ate police

madam, at worst I'll drive away

it takes me 11 seconds to ticket you

Wait, have you started? Your driving licence?

Driving without a licence?

I have a licence

A provisional one

I'm taking the driving test tomorrow

I must pass for sure, madam

you want me to give you a break?

Yes

I love to

kick dying people

we're both civil servants

are you going to give me one more”?

Enough

don't let me see you again

So you got ticketed so easily

do you feel ashamed?

Madam, I can't help it

see for yourself

Well, let me check his background

Overstudying makes you a moron

trying to use law to put me in jail?

Remember,

we got everything with our fists

boss, let me teach him a lesson

money makes the more run

get someone to do it

yes

I'll make him a cripple

next time I can't bail you out

to get you into a reformatory

north star, you've touched my heart

I promose to turn over a new leaf

do you really mean it?

I've decided to turn over a new leaf

good

right, you're smart

your girlfriend?

What do you do?

A prosecutor

excuse me. Bye-bye

he has had two previous convictions

luckily I only have one

what have you stolen?

A heart

excuse me,

I'm busy

it was him

bye-bye - bye-bye

keep closer

no problem if it's a girl

it's a male

a male?

Madam, is it official or private?

In any case, tell me

after you've tested him out

hurry up before it's too late

Kill him, kill him!

Trying to outnumber him?

Brother, not so hard

stop! A friend

a friend?

Stop!

Police! Run!

Stop, don't run

are you running?

They're only

hired hitmen

did you offend

someone to get his?

Even my foreign lady superior is probing you

is she?

Who's your superior?

She's really outstanding

she's in charge of wei Cheng's murder case

I'm also working on the same case

are you?

Prosecutor

if you need any help, just call me

okay

bye-bye

bad, I forgot to beat him up

how am I to report back?

I may get the hell from daddy

daddy, lighter

I must do it hard to cure you

I didn't know you were so badly bruised

come on

don't foul up things

next time don't be so impulsive

don't fight anymore

daddy, madam is pressing hard

bad egg, apple

get it back

you never grow up

sorry

daddy, it's time for your to retire

retire? Are you going to support me?

It's a serious question. Think before you answer

what is it so serious?

We'll live for better or worse

is that right, daddy?

Yes

lend me a fire

I thought you'd given up smoking

only because you've turned me on

why don't you work yourself up?

Why are you always loitering around?

I've set my mind on a police superintendent

don't set too high a standard

you don't qualify for it

like fater, like son

you're incorrigible

have a drink

one must be responsible for what one does

be sober

drinking may be harmful

I'm sober now. I know what you mean

what did you want to see me for?

Hsia ling-Cheng, do you like trains?

Yes

I want to be dauntless

like a racing train

it's not

dauntless

a train races on the right track

once derailed, it kills

a train doesn't derail by itself

unless someone does it purposely

once destroyed, a train kills innocents

my duty is to arrest the destroyers

mine is the same.

If anyone disrupts the rail,

I won't stand by

safeguarding justice

is a beautiful slogan

no one will

use it to destroy

I'll do all I can to eliminate saboteurs

to ensure the train arrive safely

a train can't break out

of my palm

eat, eat

again?

Don't waste it

it's public money anyway

madam told us to watch this man

don't ever get into trouble

get into trouble?

I've been here for several hours

the party's over, and we're eating hamburgers

eat

Boss, excuse us

Going to bed after eating?

What is it?

Curry, follow them

hurry up

why can't it be started?

- I don't know - Get out and have a look

brother, it's choked by an apple

we must bear the blame together

Chou ting-kuang, you didn't pay me much

quite a lot

it's kiddy stuff for you

how's the book? Show me

are you out of your mind?

How can I get on without it?

Because I paid you, I have something on you

now wei was killed and I got involved

if I go wrong in court

you won't

be free either

what if you should die?

My men live on me

they won't let this happen

chou, nothing ventured, nothing gained

you need real strength

now I control the good and the evil

no one won't be in my way

you...

Your men are waiting below

Shout! Louder!

Help, help...

Chou ting-kuang, may you rest in peace

He'll be in court in a minute

why did you come to the defendant's home?

Hsia, what have you to say?

It won't do any good to say anything now

please calm down an investigate it

I don't think it was suicide

mr hsia, now you can't clean yourself

get going

Don't try any tricks

you can't get away anyway

Hsai ling-Cheng, you're finished for sure

Hsia ling-Cheng

Shit

Your honor,

since the defendant falls to appear

he should be under arrest

with bail forfeited

your honor, I ask for the grace of 15 minutes

I believe my client will rush here

No need to wait. He'll never turn up

he has been killed

Silence in court!

Who are you?

I'm senior inspector shih li-yi of cid

please Grant me permission, your honor

to arrest mr hsia who killed chou

inspector shih, your request is approved

mr hsia, your hands please

wait

have you sufficient evidence

against mr hsia?

We can prosecute you for disruption

and contempt of court

your honor, I saw mr hsia on the spot

he resisted arrest and fled

mr hsia is a suspect then

but inspector shih, you must've misidentified

I did not

how could you be so sure?

I may ask mr hsia frankly

where were you an hour ago?

Answer me. Where were you?

You can't answer

mr hsia, you're under arrest

I was having breakfast with mr hsia an hour agon

Your honor

inspector shih

I admire your efficiency

but you're mistaken

please don't disrupt the court

or you'll be expelled

Your honor,

since both defendants have died

I request the charge be withdrawn

the case is closed

court

I don't know why your were acquitted

but I can shoot you to death

all the same

faster, or I'll drive away

when the light turns

Go

Go, bitch

bitch, don't hog the street

disappointed in love? Jilted?

Keep away

Bitch, a gun is not everything

Open up! I'm being pursed

open up

open up

- what is it? - Let me get in first

don't open the door. I'm being pursued

- wen, what is it? - Miss

resist for me, please

what happen?

Yu chi-wen, what are you doing?

Miss, you're okay

I should've become a prosecutor myself

how do you know I live here?

I have my eyes and ears, sir

Hong Kong is only a tiny place

any you're a man of status

I saw you yesterday

- what did you see yesterday? - Did you see him yesterday?

Don't get excited, I didn't mean that

I mean when I arrived,

he was dead

then I rush out

suddenly, a gun...

Pointed at my temple

so I hastily...

Grasped his hand...

And flung away his gun

did you see the killer?

No, but that kid

under the table did

with him as witness, the record can be cleared

but he won't agree to appear as witness

he has to look after a crippled grandpa

it's inconvenient to talk now

let's talk some other day

right, I should have thought about it

take this

Cid, stop!

Stay there!

Even a thug calls himself 'police'

look at my identification paper

you look more like a villain

face the wall, lean against it

where did you get this?

My friend prosecutor hsia gave it to me

did he? Why did he give you money?

You may choose to speak

at the station

look closely. Is he the killer?

I said many times it was somebody else

but he was framed

how dare you tease me, kid?

Madam

not your concern. Take the statement

stop making fool of me, kid

just take a close look

is he

the killer?

How can I identify this way?

Is this better?

Sister, what are you doing?

I have no obligation to identity

it's not my duty to identify

no more nonsense. Or I go to complaints

instead of getting the hell from you

bastard

Stand up

inspector shih, that's no way to treat a child

he was one the spot, I guess he saw the killer

did he?

Little friend, follow me

what do you want?

Take it easy. I only want to have a talk

if you co-operate, you'll be alright

Kid, have you got an adult I/d card?

No

You'll live to get one if you're smart

this is police! Don't try anything!

How much did he pay you to do that?

I didn't do it for money

without money?

I did it out of justice

what price is your justice?

Tell me

I have no reason to turn down your gift

you're smart

I wasn't that smart when I was your age

apple-polishing

can't sell

right you are

I'm a man of righteousness

whatever I take I'll pay you back in kind

well, how much do you want?

Just name it

one million

aren't your afraid of getting choked

I have good digestion, I can stomach anything

can you arrest hsia ling-Cheng, sir?

Little friend, say sorry to madam

sorry, madam

I wanted to get a reward

I'm not yet of age

I can sue you for lying

is lying guilty?

Bastard - inspector shih

go now, kid

excuse me, madam

Cindy, we've lots of things to do

let's not waste time

on this

go back to work

Bad egg, follow this kid

madam, I haven't finished taking the statement

what have you taken down?

I don't know how to write this word

you don't know who to write "framed"

you must have never been framed

this

will do

Follow this kid now

yes, madam

fix it

I'll follow that kid

did you get the hell from madam again?

Don't say that, daddy

I got an important

mission from her

be smart, don't let him get away

you may count on me

take this drumstick. Give me a packet of cigarettes

smoking is bad for health

that's all

sorry, madam

sorry

daddy, excuse me

rushing to hell?

Damn, I shouldn't have said that

I'll kill you if I see you again

grandpa, I'm back

Grandpa, I'm back

grandpa, open up

I'm back

grandpa

Grandpa

sir, why are you backing out?

Let my grandpa go

free him,

or I'll blow the lid off your scandal

grandpa, don't be afraid

grandpa

Kill me, sir, if you want to

he knows nothing. He's mute

killing him won't do you any good

he didn't see the killer, I did

Grandpa

Grandpa

I'll fight with you

Mr wang, so it's you

what are you doing?

Mr wang, release him

don't do anything foolish

put down your gun

put down your gun

Wen, run

Let's play chess

Some cheek! Why bring me here?

Mr tsai - mr tsai

mr tsai - mr tsai

what do you want? What are you doing?

Mr tsai

speak up. Ask if your don't understand

why let us old fellows stay here?

We should have retired, right?

Are you sure you want to get in?

Don't get in

why are you acting sneakily?

An old man attending a young one's funeral

how are we to comfort him?

Don't talk such nonsense as

don't be sad, etc

this is superfluous

I don't have anything better in mind

coming

you kept telling me to retire

luckily I did not

or no one would support me

you were strong, but died young

don't be sad

don't overgrieve, mr tsai

you can't go against heaven's will

thank you, mr wang

he normally muddled through

but he was ambitious

mr wang, he always followed you as model

I know

he was a good policeman

both you and he are

every policeman should know evil can't conquer good

justice always wins

I know

don't cry anymore

I won't

I won't cry

I told you to wear socks

I didn't object to your smoking

The other side has his address. Finish him off

Hello, hello

Come on

come on

come on

come on

Hello, police superintendent wang, please?

Yes, speaking. Who's it calling?

Hsia ling-Cheng of justice department

someone tried to kill me at my home

how's it now?

My killer died at my home

please don't move anything from the spot

he may be the killer of the liang family

I'll come right away

okay, I'll wait for you

don't believe him, he's the killer

what? Who's the killer?

Sir, he just had telephone conversation with you

did he kill?

Whom did he kill?

He killed chou ting-kuang

and tried to kill me to destroy the evidence

are you speaking the truth?

Why don't you believe me?

I came yesterday to prove your innocence

I told that foreign lady

you didn't kill

so wang knows I saw him kill

is that why he tried to kill to destroy evidence?

And he killed my grandpa

I got my grandpa involved

grandpa, grandpa...

Bad, I even called him

it's dangerous here. Let's get out at once

Stand there

so it's you

did wang send you to kill us?

No one did

I could've gunned you down if I wanted to

hsia, you are linked with

the death of bad egg

and that child of grandpa

you accuse me of killing them?

No, he didn't kill my grandpa

he didn't kill the cop either

that damn police superintendent did

keep away, or you'll die

- don't do anything foolish - Stay where you are

you know how to use the handcuffs

handcuff yourself and that child

if you try anything, I'll be nasty

don't be afraid. Come with her to the police

you're going to be alright

no, I won't. There's not one good policeman

stay

he's only a child. Let him go

Come in

mr wang, mr hsia wants to see you

show him in

yes, sir

mr hsia, please

hello, mr hsia

sorry, I didn't know you were handcuffed

yes, sir

why do you want to see me?

What's the difference between a man and a beast?

I was watching here

there's not much difference

both have eyes, ears and nose

but a beast has a tail too

and will show it sooner or later

right,

but they're equal in law

a killer is the same, whether he's good or bad

and whether the one he kills is good or not

he's called a killer at the same

a killer will be handcuffed like you

glad you understand police superintendent wang

even in handcuffs,

I can deal with you beasts

I understand. As a prosecutor

you can stand for justice in court

why take the risk

to go to the front?

Have confidence in law

remember, evil can't conquer good

you enjoy being a hunter

shoot the birds

you can never be a tiger-killer

are we going to prosecute him, sir?

Mr wang, line one

take it first

hello

how are you doing

after doing what you did?

It's you John. It's been a long time

remember

that book

it records the money

I pay you

impossible

you know where that book is?

What do you suggest?

Money. No bargaining and no monkey business

$1 million see you at the harbor park this afternoon

okay, agreed

detain him for 48 hours

get evidence

don't release him unless necessary

yes, sir

line two, inspector shih

your boyfriend is here

thank you

hello

madam, I can prove hsia's innocent

I've an appointment with your police supt

don't tell him I called you

okay, I haven't seen a show for a long time

see you at the horbor park

Karen, he's on your left side

he wears sunglasses

he's listening to walkman, in jacket with pink sleeves

I've seen him now, boss

he's crafty. Be alert

don't worry. I won't let you down

good luck

Crouch down

Stop

stop

Crouch down

How's wen?

See for yourself

Talk to him loudly

he may answer you

he'll tell you

there's no law in this society

there's no justice in this world

we law enforcers can't be relied on

you...

Consider yourself disinterested

listen

who's responsible for wen's death?

Hsia ling-Cheng, not so loud

both you and I feel sorry for him

I'll gather evidence to bring the criminal to justice

evidence?

Wen's dead, is this not evidence?

How many more will die before

we get evidence against wang ching-sei

our law is not to help

seeking justice

but to protect the cold-blooded killers

do you know that?

Hsia, I ate crime more than you do

I can fight violence with violence

and I can do it better

just wait and see

Wang ching-wel

no more hiding, come out

come out to face me, wang ching-wel

I know you are here

come out to face me

you heard me? Are you deaf and dumb?

You've come to the end of your evil road

Tell me frankly, is wang here?

Take me to see him

It doesn't pay you to have forced me out

wang, I won't let you go

I should say this myself

want to be a hero?

Listen, this world is cruel

a hero ends up like this

You even killed a female assistant

who had been loyal to you

I didn't kill her

the weapon doesn't contain my fingerprints

see if there's any witness

I was having breakfast

with the judge

she was lying there when I arrived

she must have killed herself

what kind of a lie is that?

This is not the court. Don't argue here

prosecutor hsia

we're both killers

you invoke the name of justice

while branding me as wanton killer

whatever the excuse for killing

the killer should be held accountable before

but, no judge is trying either of us

we're talking the law into our own hands
