Second Brother Kwan, this time is my last one.

Whether this succeeds or not depends on your blessing.

October 8, 1981

Don't move.

Drop your guns!

Robbery!

Everyone, over there.

Don't shoot.

Everyone, go over there too.

Over there, everyone move over there.

No need, let's talk about it another day. Let's leave it at that.

Who's setting off firecrackers outside, making all this racket?

What's going on? Is someone robbing the place?

Thank goodness, call the police first. Don't move.

Go over there, quickly!

Sit down.

Don't move.

Boss, all of his stuff is fake.

This bastard, using fake stuff to scare me.

Owl to Zebra, Cat with the Owl to Zebra. The chick has appeared.

Get ready to catch the chicken.

Zebra copies, over.

Eagle number two.

This is Eagle number two, over.

Are you ready?

The Owl is ready. The chick is under surveillance, over.

Stinkbug here, everything is ready. Over.

Ostrich copies, over.

Begin the chicken catch!

Boss.

Your numbers have been way off lately. It doesn't look like there's been any progress at all.

It's hard for me to talk to Brother Gan.

Things outside have been tough lately. I've already pushed them really hard.

Brother Luan, there are a lot of cops outside.

Hello.

- Surprise inspection, clear everything out now. - Yes.

There's a surprise inspection, quickly clear the stuff away.

You take the kid to school.

Don't mess around, you have to listen to the teacher.

Hurry up and clear things away, go play your cards.

Be careful.

Uncle Tai.

- What's going on? - Could you take this bag to Brother Tu for me?

It's the same place you went to last time.

Got it.

Take the bike.

Go, go, be careful.

Hurry up and go.

Stay calm, keep playing cards.

Who is it?

Big brother.

Brother Gan, why is it you?

It's not me, then who?

What are you guys doing?

Someone just came for a surprise inspection.

What surprise inspection?

Brother Luan, it looks like the people outside have all left.

There really were a lot of people just now, everyone saw them.

Besides, Officer Hoa even called us to tell us to clean up.

Then why not call and ask clearly?

Hello, Kowloon headquarters.

This is Wah, right?

I already told you guys not to call here.

Did you guys just send someone for a surprise inspection, right?

- How would I know? - Ask your colleagues.

Asking who...

Wait a moment.

If you'd said so earlier, we wouldn't have gone to all this trouble, right?

Brother Chung, so you guys actually had a surprise inspection today?

A surprise inspection? Where?

Kowloon Hall.

No, who told you that?

No, I was just asking.

No, nobody from your place came for a surprise inspection.

Don't call here again.

He said they didn't send anyone for a surprise inspection.

This place is mine, so by rights nobody should know about it.

That's right, by rights nobody should know.

In the end it's always you, dressed like that.

People saw you, and even if they don't call you a gangster,

they'll still say you're the one collecting money.

Boss, I've been dressed like this. I've dressed like this for over fifty years.

Then what about our money?

Cheers, cheers.

Here's to our operation this time being a complete success.

I imagine they must have been panicking back then.

Hey, surprise inspection, pack up immediately.

So that's it, right?

Good, cheers, cheers.

Uncle Tai, this one's yours.

What worries me most now is you being there. Staying there this long,

they could easily find you.

No, I've already bought my train ticket. I'm taking the overnight train to Macao tonight.

It would be very hard for them to find me.

I really have to thank you.

This is our last collaboration.

I hope everyone will make good use of this money. Cheers.

Wow, you got here fast today? Get out, get out.

Gently.

Boss, don't wrinkle my clothes.

Let's go, you won't be wearing those much longer.

I'm going to get you changed into a prison uniform now, let's go.

You're getting arrested and still shouting? Let me tell you something. Nobody can save you this time. Sit down.

I'm used to the tea they serve here.

Take his statement, and follow the procedure.

Chief Fung, Chief Lui is looking for you.

You were looking for me, Chief Lui?

Why did you cause such a mess?

Chief Lui, if we hadn't brought in

Au Gung's underlings, how could we have driven him into a corner?

How many times do I have to tell you before you understand?

Whether or not he gets driven into a corner has nothing to do with you.

Just deal with the problem in your own district and leave it at that.

We come from the same background. I've already reached this position.

You should know what your own problem is.

Forget it. This case should still be handed back. Let Chief Chow handle it.

What are you trying to say?

You've been working hard lately too. Take a rest.

No need, don't waste your breath.

I'm not doing this anymore.

Hey, everyone, watch carefully.

Ladies, it's your turn now.

It's very simple. Just do the same moves I just did.

Don't be scared. Very good.

Come over here. Everyone come over, get into position, come on.

First, neck stretches.

Ready. One, two, three, four.

Forward, two, three, four.

Shoulder rolls. Three, two, three, four.

Ear pulls, four, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four, two, three, four. Three, two, three, four, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four, two, three, four. Three, two, three, four, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four. Three, two, three, four, two, three, four.

Bend down and touch the floor.

One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four. Three, two, three, four, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four.

Boss, your mail.

- Judy, keep going. - Okay.

Mr. Little Elephant.

You've been committing crimes for years now. I've long since gathered all the solid evidence.

On October 8th, three years ago, you held up a finance company at gunpoint.

You stole 27.5 million in cash.

Unless, from now on, you follow my instructions to the letter.

Otherwise, I'll hand all the evidence of your crimes over to the Justice Department.

You'll definitely spend the rest of your life behind bars.

Now, the first instruction.

At 3 p.m. on October 24th.

You are to go to Room 619 at the Chim Dong Fu Wu Hotel and await further instructions.

Let's all go drink.

Great!

Are you all right? Help him up.

Mr. Wong.

- Orange juice, thanks. - Sure.

Mr. Wong, you have a letter.

Who's it from?

A young man. I don't know him.

Mr. Wong, I'm heading out.

- Thanks. - You're welcome.

Orange juice.

Mr. Hawk-Headed Cat.

You always appear and vanish without a trace.

Three years ago, you and your men ran a con together.

You took 15 million from the big gangster Au Gung.

Au Gung has never forgotten it, and has sworn revenge.

If I reveal the truth to him, I'm sure you'll die without a place to be buried.

If you want me to keep my mouth shut, then you must follow my instructions.

First, at 3 p.m. on October 24th,

go to Room 619 at the Fu Hao Tiem Dong Hotel and wait for instructions.

No need to look for anyone else, it's just me.

Well?

What do you want?

Now I'm asking you, what do you want?

If someone has been caught by the short hairs, how do you think that person feels inside?

What will happen? Someone's going to get hit.

Why did you call me here? Hurry up and tell me!

Still not talking?

Go on, say it.

You made the first move on me.

Are you going to strike first, or should I?

Hurry up and tell me, what on earth did you bring me here for?

I called you? I was summoned here too.

Wasn't it you?

Hey, Owl?

Owl, you're getting mounted and stuffed.

Looking for me?

If you don't say anything, how am I supposed to know?

Hey, Little Elephant?

Little Elephant? He's gone, vanished.

Looking for me?

If you don't say anything, how am I supposed to know?

You...

Now I'm going to ask you one question. You have to answer honestly.

You insist on asking me? Can't I ask you something?

Fine, go ahead and ask.

Who summoned you up here?

Hey, hey, who was it?

Hawk-Head Cat.

And Little Elephant.

I was the one who called you both. I figured you'd have gotten acquainted by now.

Wait a moment.

My name is Hawk-Head Cat.

I'm Little Elephant.

Go on, now we're acquainted.

Each of you has a secret the other doesn't know.

But I know them very well.

If you two cooperate happily, I will absolutely never reveal them.

But if you don't do as I say,

then your secrets will soon be known to the whole world.

So what do we have to do now?

Now you two go down to the French restaurant

and someone will naturally contact you.

We got off on the wrong foot, but that's no reason not to be friends.

Could you please stop being so rough? Hands on everything all day long.

You've got to use your brain for everything.

Use my brain? Can't you see? Who uses their brain to farm the fields?

Snap out of it. When you talk, you have to use your brain.

What?

What are you doing like this?

I'm talking to you with my brain, got it?

What are you doing?

Using my brain to scold you.

Tell me, who is the person we're meeting shortly?

How would I know?

Anyway, that person is coming. When we exchanged a few words and didn't get along,

help me grab him.

I'll hit him on the back.

Kick him in the chest and make him slam into the pillar.

Then I'll give him two more hits on your behalf.

Can't you just say not to hit or kill him?

Could you try not saying it for me?

Be polite, don't chew on rocks here.

Why can't I chew on rocks here?

Excuse me, sir, are you two waiting for someone?

What do you think? Can't you see I'm waiting for someone?

Is that how a young lady is supposed to act?

I don't know, ask him.

Ask me?

Hello, everyone.

I'm in charge of the youth rehabilitation center. Joyce Leong.

What does that have to do with me?

You're Mr. Chan Chor Yat, aren't you?

What are you laughing at?

So you're a fresh country bumpkin. No wonder you're so rude.

Is it rude for a country bumpkin?

This must be Mr. Wong Yan Fu.

Please, have a seat. Let's show some manners.

I've already received your letters of self-introduction from you both.

It's rare for people to be this enthusiastic about serving society.

I'm representing the center. Thank you all for joining this charity work.

What?

What's wrong?

Nothing, he wants to ask you what you'd like to eat.

Miss, what would you like to eat?

Do you have any good recommendations?

- Hey, what's going on, exactly? - How would I know?

Volunteering for no reason at all.

Calm down, don't get so worked up.

So what dishes can you make?

We can fry them or steam them.

You handle this one, and don't leave any for me.

Me? Even if you paid me, I wouldn't do it. Could I please get a glass of orange juice?

The issue is related to...

All right, don't say anything more, even if you're free...

What he means is that we wrote to you.

When did I write to you?

I wrote it for you.

We were fairly free back then, but lately...

Don't tell me we haven't been free lately.

So what do you mean?

I mean nothing at all.

The thing is, lately we've taken on a big business deal.

Mr. Wong, it's your phone.

Sorry, sorry.

Listen up, everyone, the condition is to keep this confidential. It's just two jobs for me.

There are two paths ahead of you.

One is to do some work for society, the other is to go to prison.

You're all so smart, you don't really want to spend the rest of your life in prison, do you?

No problem at all, just as you said.

Just do it the way you want.

What about that fat guy?

Him? I think he won't have any problems.

Put him on the phone.

Hey, your old friend is looking for you.

Even though we've taken on this job,

we can hand it off to someone else at any time.

Making money is a minor matter. We're doing this for the public good, to serve society.

This is an honor for us, isn't it?

Yes, don't worry, ma'am. He won't do it, I will.

It would be great if everyone were like you guys.

We don't know what we can do.

About this, come to my center at 9 tomorrow morning. We'll talk later.

What? 9 tomorrow morning?

If that's too late, we can make it 7.

9 o'clock, 9 o'clock, fine.

How could you be so careless?

Is that you?

Who else would it be?

Why didn't you say anything?

You didn't say anything either.

Just from my build you should have known it was me.

You saw the beard, how could you not know it was me?

What are you doing here?

What are you doing here?

Did you find anything?

Didn't find anything.

So what do we do now?

Let's go.

Keep your things safe, don't leave them lying around.

Owl, why haven't you come down yet?

Hey, you...

Buddy, we've been waiting for you guys for a long time.

Did you get anything good? Split it 5-5.

Do you know how to fight?

If I didn't know how to fight, you'd have beaten me to death long ago.

Impressive, a master of both pen and sword. Get in.

You're joking, it's not that much.

Aren't you going to help?

Ha ha, it's us.

Hurry up and get in.

Pull the car over first.

Are you alright? Get in the car.

Why are you being so difficult? Get in.

I'm not riding in your car.

Good morning, where's Mr. Chan?

I think he said he had diarrhea last night.

Hello, Mr. Chan.

Good morning, were you talking about me behind my back?

Shall we go upstairs? Okay.

Up until now we still don't know what to do.

Actually it's very simple. It's to help first-time juvenile offenders.

- Good morning, Director Leong. - Help them find jobs.

So it's about helping them find a job.

Right, I think this time will be quite a challenge for everyone.

Hello, Uncle Chung.

- Give me back my shoes! - Get out of the way!

Give me back my shoes, Class Monitor Ha Ling.

It's not my fault, Class Monitor Ha Ling threw them.

Go kiss your sister.

Everyone, stop playing around and keep quiet, okay?

I've already told you, I can't keep it.

Stop playing, are you done yet?

Do you all even know why you're here?

To look for a job, of course.

Whether you find one or not doesn't matter.

People don't need to go out and bother looking for work like that. They have foster mothers.

What's it to you? Your mom works outside too.

Keep talking nonsense and see if I don't beat you up.

I don't believe it, come over here.

Alright, that's enough, enough. Stop arguing, enough.

Go back to your seat.

Bak Siew Bit, Chan Chi Kit, come up here.

- Yes, Miss? - Sit down.

You play the role of the employee.

So now I'm your boss.

In your dreams.

What's your name?

Red-nail Chicken.

Shut up! I'm not asking you. Right, miss?

What can you do?

I can do anything.

This job is really hard.

Have you ever worked as hard as I did before?

Every day, 24 kilos of roe, and kill 30 fish.

That's enough. Go back to your seat.

- Is that really okay? - Yes, yes.

How do you feel?

There are over 30 people.

Regret it?

No problem.

Who goes first?

Pictures or words?

Pictures.

Words! Those words, let's go.

Why are these two so special?

What's going on?

Anyway, as long as he's not a "fag," that's fine.

Everyone, be quiet.

This is Ms. Yeung, Mr. Wong, and Mr. Chan.

These two are your job placement mentors.

They'll be here to tutor you for three weeks.

Three weeks, anything can happen.

Head teacher, she is horny.

Respect yourselves a little, you're all girls, understand?

One of them will teach you.

The other will handle the materials to help you find jobs.

We want the bearded one to teach us.

Do I look that annoying?

Yes, you do.

Don't be mad anymore, just choose whichever teacher you like.

Sorry, did I hurt you?

Damn it, I don't even know if she did it on purpose.

Of course he likes you.

What does that have to do with you?

Is everyone that happy?

I'm heading back to the office now. If anything comes up, come find me.

Yes, please.

- Hello, Ms. Yeung. - Mr. Wong.

These kids come from very complicated backgrounds.

I usually can't get through to them.

Do you think you have a way to handle them?

I don't know. Let me give it a try.

I'd like to talk to them one on one. Why don't you take a break for a while?

I'm going too.

Wait, don't leave yet. Play along with me first.

You two were so arrogant last night, calling me out to settle things one-on-one.

Everyone, can anyone answer me? Why do we have to run job-search tutoring?

Can anyone tell me why we have to run job-search tutoring?

What do you want to know, sir?

Why do we have to run job-search tutoring?

Because it's boring and stupid.

Can anyone tell me why we have to run job-search tutoring?

Fatty, are you out of your mind?

I'll tell you something: in this world, nothing comes for free.

You're right. If you take someone's money, you have to pay the price.

What about him, then?

He'll pay the price too.

You can't teach them.

This is my job. Your job is to investigate clearly. Who ordered this?

Start with Ms. Leong.

Fine, chasing women is what I do best. Leave her to me.

What are you looking for?

Couldn't find it.

What do you mean, couldn't find it?

Couldn't find that woman.

Come in and sit down.

Come in.

Would you like some coffee?

Sure.

Mr. Chan, here's your coffee.

- Sorry. - It's fine.

Sorry, let me wipe that off for you. I didn't mean to.

There's a way, there's a way!

Spray this on, and it'll come clean once it dries.

Behind you, behind you!

- Hold still. - Alright, thank you so much for the trouble.

Don't mention it. I'm the one who should be apologizing.

How did you know this was kept in the drawer?

What a coincidence. I thought this was my house.

Because I have one too, kept in a drawer at home as well.

What a coincidence indeed.

Would you like more coffee?

No more, thanks. Ms. Leong, even though I haven't known you very long,

I know you're a very capable person.

Otherwise, one person could never keep the whole center running.

No, it all depends on people who are passionate about serving society.

Like you and Mr. Wong.

Yes. I wonder how many people there are like that?

I mean, I wonder how many passionate people there are. Could I know?

Sure, of course you can.

Looks like this is Ho Yew Chuen.

May I take a look?

Go ahead.

Thank you.

- I've already read it all. - And this Chow Chan Bong is a kind-hearted gentleman.

And then there's this Ms. Lai To San.

No, I absolutely have to be frank.

Sorry, sorry.

Ms. Chow is just like you and Mr. Wong.

- Very devoted to public welfare. - Ms. Leong, about this matter

I'd like to look into the job-hunting issue with you.

Don't you find it exhausting?

I don't feel it.

But I do.

Sorry.

Ms. Leong.

I have something I want to tell you.

I...

I'd like to take you out to dinner tonight.

Don't hurt me directly.

You don't need to say anything. I'll go.

Just pick me up at eight tonight.

Why aren't you eating?

Do you realize that a lot of people are staring at you?

I'm used to eating this way.

Then go ahead and eat.

Why?

I'm used to using a knife and fork.

If I eat with you,

people will get two impressions: you're very rude, and I'm very pretentious.

I don't want that.

Then you eat first.

Think of a way for us to eat together. But I can't change my habits.

Hey, cut this into eighteen pieces for me. And bring me some chopsticks while you're at it.

Yes.

How much do you usually tip them?

Double the bill.

Oh, so even though you eat so roughly, they don't speak badly of you.

I didn't know about that. It's true that it was a bit rude.

I've never known about these things, from childhood until now.

If you don't tell me, how would I know?

You feel that I'm someone who had to start earning money very early, right?

Yes, yes, I had to climb up and down, slip through walls and jump over fences.

I had to work miracles just to earn two meals.

Then did you hit the lottery jackpot? Or inherit an estate from a distant relative?

I found an egg.

An egg?

The egg hatched into a chick. The chick grew up and laid eggs, and the eggs hatched into more chicks.

Once they grow up, they lay eggs, and the eggs hatch into chickens again.

In the end, the whole mountain is full of your chickens.

Right now, on average, about 200 chickens are laying eggs every second.

Each egg sells for 50 cents, which means you're earning 100 dong every second.

Since we sat down to eat together, you've already earned thousands of dong.

It's practically a gold mine.

So are they roosters or hens?

Hens, of course. How could roosters lay eggs?

So did the chicken come before the egg, or did the egg come before the chicken?

You're so naughty, so naughty.

Sir, it's been cut into 18 pieces.

Can we eat together now?

Shall we try eating with a knife and fork another time?

Sure.

Sorry.

Excuse me, sir, your ice cream. Thank you.

Sorry about that, let me pick it up.

Thank you.

Thanks for dinner.

Don't mention it. Would you like to come to my place for a little while?

Someone's home?

So is it a man or a woman?

You tell me.

It must be a man.

Good luck to you two, I've failed.

Good morning.

How did it go last night?

How did what go?

Director Leong.

Don't ask. I just took her hand, and she was flustered and lost control of herself.

I pulled her in.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Am I as easygoing as you?

- Good morning. - Mr. Beard changes his outfit every single day.

Why don't you help me out and take up my line of work?

I'll hand it over to you.

- No need, you carry on. - Alright.

When everyone goes to work,

they're going to ask you two one question.

Can everyone calm down for a moment?

Bonnie Leong. Why don't you go home and read a book, okay?

Bonnie Leong. Come out here with me.

Pretend you're an employee.

Go ahead, say what you need to say.

Alright, what's your name?

I'm Bonnie Leong. I'm nineteen years old.

If you want to find a job,

the best thing is not to have to do anything at all.

You just have to sleep, and make over a thousand a month. Is that right?

Is that not right?

Stop right there. With that attitude of yours,

how could you ever go back into society and work?

You should know why you're here.

Don't you value yourself at all?

Miss, please calm down.

What's this? Playing the great one now?

Do you think your words carry any weight?

With just a few words, you think you can save a young girl's soul.

Then Jesus wouldn't have needed to be nailed to the cross.

Teaching us how to behave,

how to be a person.

Does anyone here have less life experience than you?

Do you think that sitting in this dump makes you any better than us?

Who do you think you are? Just out of school and already playing the helper.

The worst bad guys you'll meet

will at most spit on you everywhere.

Smoking in the elevator, borrowing money and never paying it back.

Have you ever been sexually assaulted or harassed?

Have you ever paid protection money?

Have you ever been a fifteen-year-old having to support seven younger siblings?

Have you ever had a gambling mother? A father who's drunk all the time?

Sure, it's no crime to have a good life,

but you say these things to us all day long. If you're not realistic,

nobody will thank you. They'll just think you're showing off.

Miss, I've worked harder than you've ever taught.

At 14 I worked as a massage girl, letting people grope my hands and legs.

At 17 I danced at a nightclub. Everyone from bosses to managers took turns sleeping with me.

Your world and our world are completely different.

You can talk and teach all you want, because that's your job.

If it weren't for having to deal with probation,

who would have time to sit here listening to your nonsense?

And another thing, if nobody paid you, would you even be sitting here?

Everyone has their own interests. What's the big show about?

You don't need to play the savior in front of us.

You have every right to complain about me, no problem at all.

At worst I go back to prison. It'll just be a bit harder.

That's still better than being mentally abused by you here.

Miss, I'm here to make you smarter, you idiot.

Well said!

Do you think I came to teach you kids for the money?

Do you think I was born into a rich family, never having to worry about making ends meet?

Let me tell you, I just couldn't bear to watch a class of teenagers

like you all, resigned to falling into ruin.

I know I have no right to teach you.

I know I have nothing to persuade you with.

Is that my fault too?

Tell me, why do you think I came here to teach you?

To prove myself, that I could save this society.

Not for money, but to fulfill myself.

Because that way people will feel that you're great.

Do you think you're an example for us?

Everyone knows that earning 60 dong a day at the factory

only covers eating and sleeping. We don't accept it.

Why can some people eat well and dress well?

We were born to live on the bare minimum.

Answer me, and if you answer, I'll listen to what you have to say.

How do you live responsibly and independently?

how do we live fairly?

Success is something you have to grab for yourself.

You can get it. Because you have access to the upper class.

Who knows, you might even hook a rich son-in-law.

At most, we have two more years. Then we marry someone who'll work us to the bone.

Have a bunch of kids and endure it all your life.

Why are you crying?

I'm telling you, no one here is going to sympathize with you.

You're being unreasonable.

I'm being unreasonable?

Then get out.

Stop crying. Crying won't solve anything.

What do you want to eat?

Why are you treating me like this?

It's all my fault. That's how things turned out.

Of course it's your fault. What do you want to drink?

I told you to wait a moment.

If you knew it would turn out like this, why did you come in here in the first place?

What are you doing? Are you going to hit me?

- Just listen to me. - Talking is useless. Only reality can convince people.

At first it was only you who wanted it. Now only you are crying and I'm the one comforting you. Why bother?

Men these days can't be trusted. All day long they just say sweet things.

Stop crying.

I told you to stop crying, but no matter how I try to persuade you, you won't listen.

Now everyone is looking at us. Just think how embarrassing this is.

That's right, that's how it should be.

You already know those kids' circumstances. You should have prepared yourself mentally by now.

But to them, I'm just someone to vent their anger on.

Why would you think that?

- What would you like to drink? - Coffee, coffee.

How did this go so wrong? When did it happen?

This morning.

Is it that serious?

It's very serious.

So what do we do now?

What can we do? Wait until she calms down, then talk her around.

If you go talk to her now, you're as good as beaten.

Why?

Normally, these things are handled by a third party talking to the person involved.

You sit here, and let me talk to her.

Alright, alright.

Can I sit?

Listen, I've always been very straightforward.

Be honest, has anyone ever treated you like this before?

No, never.

So this is the first time, isn't it?

Did you go along with this of your own free will?

Yes, but reality and ideals are worlds apart.

I feel like I've failed. I've lost everything.

You've only lost one thing.

You can't entirely blame him for this.

I know. So when I gave myself to him,

I decided to give my whole heart to treating him well. I didn't expect...

You didn't expect what?

That he'd just use me to vent his anger.

He went too far, that's true. But I think he feels very sorry now.

If he did things he shouldn't have, there's no reason to just let it slide.

I think you could win him over.

Do you think so?

In theory, yes.

Alright, I've decided to keep going.

That's the spirit. I knew early on you weren't a double-hearted person.

Mr. Chan, thank you. My heart has settled down a lot now.

That's wonderful! They say a young man never lets down a pretty girl. And you're so beautiful,

no matter what, you have to hang on tight.

What do you mean, hang on tight?

I mean hold on to him firmly.

Enough talking! Hawk-Headed Cat, come on.

Over here, over here, over here.

Give me your hand.

What for?

I need to see you two holding hands.

Why?

Deep down, you know exactly why.

What did you say to her?

Don't pretend. You had your fun, and now you're going to chase her down on horseback, is that it?

She's really heartbroken, you know.

You thought she and I...

Don't be ridiculous! If it wasn't you, does that mean it was me?

I already told you, a guy like you doesn't know the first thing about it.

Earlier, she was just reduced to tears by a student who got her worked up.

I know, she was reduced to tears by a student scolding her. Isn't that right?

She cried because a student had just scolded her.

It has nothing to do with you, and it has nothing to do with me either.

This is hard to explain. Anyway,

Sorry to have bothered you.

Who sent you?

Who sent you?

Who sent you?

Are you mute? Are you mute?

Sorry to have bothered you.

Why are you being so rude?

Look.

Dear Ưng Đầu Miêu and Tiểu Phi Tượng,

Your final mission is at 12 noon tomorrow, at the Hong Kong auction house.

Bid on Lot 59 in the Tân Giới district.

Just keep pushing the bidding up, and you'll complete the mission.

That bastard, how many more favors does he expect us to do for him?

Don't worry, he's both deaf and mute.

He said he wanted us to help him twice, didn't he?

Anyway, let me find out who he is. I'm going to wring his neck.

Forget it.

Forget it? Even though it's a small matter,

toying with people like this doesn't get you anywhere.

- So are you going or not? - I'm going.

75 million, sold!

Next up is the lot in the Phấn Lĩnh Tân Giới area.

Boss, it's this one. FTL59 zone. The starting price is 12 million.

13 million.

14 million.

15 million.

15 million, going once.

15 million, going twice.

16 million.

17 million.

- So it's him. Could he have recognized me? - 17 million, going once.

17 million, going twice.

18 million.

19 million.

- 19 million, going once. - 20 million.

20 million.

21 million.

22 million.

23 million.

24 million, 25 million.

26 million.

Any higher than 26 million?

- Stop raising your hand. - 26 million, going once.

Of course I'm not raising it. Do you think I'm having fun?

Going once, he's got the money to do that. Bidding randomly, bidding recklessly, we can't afford it.

- You're still bidding? - 30 million.

- Don't bid recklessly. - 30 million, going once.

- Calm down, he'll definitely take it. - 30 million, going twice.

Sold!

You idiot!

I'm warning you. Don't call me "idiot" again.

Tell me, how are we supposed to deal with this?

Not me, we.

Fine, anyway, I'm not the one who raised my hand.

If I leave, tell me, what will happen?

We'll go to prison.

Fine, then it has nothing to do with me.

But before I go to prison, you won't have a good life either.

Consider it my mistake for picking the wrong person. These five million, I'll treat them as a bad investment, a loss.

30 million and 5 million, it still seems like a long way off. I wonder how much that adds up to?

You're doing well, to have a friend as loyal as that.

Your mistake was the 30 million. But it only cost you 25 million.

My finances have been in trouble lately.

Tell me, could the government cut back a little?

You tell me.

Probably not.

So doesn't that mean everyone goes to prison together?

So how much do you actually have, in the end?

Breakfast today cost 24.5 dong, and gas was 230 dong...

About 400 dong left.

You want me to write a check for 29,999,600 dong?

I've never been good at math. Just tell me how it goes.

Fine, that saves 5 million.

So that means we go down together, hugging each other.

Consider it a few years of vacation.

Old man, stop messing with me.

Then tell me the truth, how much do you have?

Adding it all up, about three million.

You're still lying?

What are you two gentlemen pulling and shoving about here?

None of your business, kids. Shut up.

What's wrong, fatty? You're so fierce, you won't even let people talk.

And hitting people, too.

Go over there and watch the movie, hurry up, there's a good film to see.

If you don't want to lose your seat, hurry up.

Hit him!

What happened?

It's nothing, I was teaching them self-defense.

Then I won't bother you two any longer.

Stop hitting, I'll pay half.

Want to keep going?

The movie's over, move aside. If you keep blocking the way, you'll get hit too.

Why don't you write the check already?

I will definitely pay. But you have to find out who's behind this trick.

You go deal with her.

No problem. A week from now, I want her to slap her mother twice.

She won't dare argue. I'll handle her.

Remember to write the check.

Taking you to a dance like this, were you bored?

Not bored at all. I really enjoy watching too.

Really?

Can't you feel how sincere I am?

It would be great if you could dance.

Learning is enough.

Nobody has taught me at all.

I'll teach you.

You can dance?

I can. You wouldn't believe me even if I told you.

I had a lot of fun tonight.

Me too. Can I walk you to your door?

Isn't this the door?

I meant the second door.

Good night.

Good night.

Owl!

Owl!

Owl!

Where did that punk run off to?

- Hey, Owl! - Hey, what is it?

Owl isn't home.

I'm Owl.

You're Owl? Who are you looking for? There's nobody home here.

You're the one I'm looking for.

- What? - I'm looking for you.

Looking for me? How did you know I was here?

I called your home, and nobody answered.

- Where else could you go? - What?

I'm telling you, you have nowhere else to go!

Where are you that it's so noisy?

I'm at a high-class place right now. There are lots of beautiful girls.

I can't handle this alone, come quickly.

Okay.

Where are you?

Block C, floor 18, apartment 24, Hoa Thanh.

I'll be right there.

Let him go.

Wait until my friend gets here before you put that knife away.

You don't feel comfortable unless you have a knife?

Just so he knows, I only sold him out because I was forced to.

You're really funny too, but in 15 minutes.

If that fat guy doesn't show up, you won't be funny anymore.

Mr. Au, could you set a longer time?

That fat guy is a bit slow.

May I ask, where are you?

Easy, easy.

You don't need to say anything else, I know you were pressured.

Make yourselves at home. This is Mr. Au, tonight's MC.

Mr. Au, how are you doing?

Has business been good lately?

I've always been very serious about business talks.

I hope the people I talk to are just as serious.

He's just born this way, he can't fake it even if he tries.

One thing: I absolutely have to get this plot of land.

There's no other way, we're riding a tiger now.

Cat-Head Hawk, stop thinking about taking Mr. Au's money.

Even if it's 30 million, let him go.

Mr. Au never cares about money when he buys things.

Mr. Au, honestly, our situation is really bad.

The market is bad too.

Lawyer Chau, I think everyone will really need this.

Mr. Au, offer 15 million.

Do you know how much money we spent to buy this plot of land?

That's very reasonable.

They're offering such a high price, what do you think?

Go ahead, say it.

When he laughs, that's when he makes his move.

Wait.

Mr. Âu, I'll make you an offer. 29 million.

Congratulations, Mr. Âu, this plot of land is ours, the deal is done.

Lawyer Châu, take care of it.

Look, now there's no land and no money. And we end up like this.

Forget it, consider it giving up something to save someone else.

You just gave up something to save someone else.

I'm definitely going to have nightmares tonight.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Aren't you coming in?

My legs feel like they're weighed down with sandbags.

Do you need me to help you?

No need, I can get in on my own.

Is that okay? Let's decide that. Let's see how it goes. Alright.

Good morning, Ms. Yeung!

Look, she's moved to tears!

That's hilarious!

It is funny, but it's those two who are funny. Not her.

Why do you two always blame other people?

What responsibility have you two taken yourselves?

What are you two? You're nothing but garbage.

Pretending to be this and that, putting on airs, are you that cool?

In truth, you both feel inferior and just want to get other people's attention.

When I was in sixth grade, one day the teacher brought in a basin.

He said if you want to be a prince on a white horse, you should ride this basin.

Then the basin would turn into a white horse, and you would become a prince on a white horse.

I refused to ride it, so he said, isn't it that you want to be a prince on a white horse?

I said no, because I knew very well. This is a basin, and no matter what, it's still a basin.

Even if I rode it, and rode it very well,

the basin still wouldn't turn into a white horse.

And I would never become a prince on a white horse either.

Like Ms. Yeung now. When she guides everyone in job hunting,

you two will also think that no matter how you perform, it's just a class.

It's just a game, how can you find a job?

So I told him, if you can guarantee

that if I ride it and the basin turns into a white horse, and I become a prince on a white horse.

Then I'll ride it.

That's just what you two think.

So I guarantee it to everyone.

If you seriously follow Ms. Dương.

So what?

If you do well, you get a month's salary in advance.

There's no such good thing.

It's supposed to be that good,

as long as you work hard, money is easy to make.

Shall we get started now?

You be the boss.

What's your name?

Ho Bo Tak. I'm here to apply for a job.

Could you have a better attitude, please?

This is just how I am.

You can't be like that. You need to smile more.

You've come to apply for a job now, not to pick a fight.

Go back to your seat first. Chan Chí Ming, come out and let's try.

Have a seat.

Hello, my name is Chan Chí Ming, and I'm 16 years old.

I really want to find a job.

What can you do?

I don't know anything, but I'll do anything.

Then tell me why you need this job.

Because I want to have food to eat.

Before this job, what did you live on?

It was from my mother... working as a prostitute to earn money.

I know I don't know how to speak well.

But no matter what, I have to say it.

Since I was old enough to understand,

I knew that everyone in our family, young and old,

even my father, depended on my mother working as a prostitute to live.

But from beginning to end, I never felt anything about it.

I wasn't calculating anything either. People call me... Kê Tử Minh.

Only now do I realize that everyone looks down on people who work as prostitutes.

The child of a prostitute is even more despised and shamed.

But I never manage to hold on to a job.

And even when they take me on, the longest I last is two days.

They, they say I'm not good enough.

They don't like me.

I really don't want my mother to go out and work as a prostitute anymore.

I, I really, really hope to get this job.

Please help me get this job.

Chan Chi Ming, you got the job. Congratulations.

Let's go have some tea and relax a bit.

Bonnie, come out here.

I'm Bonnie Leong. I'm 19 years old. I'm looking for a job.

Why do you look so sad, coming to look for work?

I'm not happy.

Why not?

I'm very troubled inside.

Why are you troubled?

I'm not ready yet. Please call someone else first.

Sorry, Miss Yong.

Alright, who else is here to interview?

Me, Chu Sam Leong.

My name is Chu Sam Leong, I'm 17 years old.

Lively, quick on my feet, and clever.

What kind of job are you looking for?

I want to be the boss. How about we switch seats?

You just need to try a little harder.

But you're not this serious, who would want to hire you?

Yes, ma'am. Tell me once more about the work.

Do you all know why I brought you two out here today?

Grandpa, where is the restroom?

I don't know.

Hey, do you have a lighter?

No, I don't.

Failed again.

Excuse me, do you know where the restroom is?

Just turn left from here and go down.

Excuse me, do you have a light?

Thanks.

Don't mention it.

Smoke what?

You're not allowed to smoke either.

There are dozens of jobs here. Take them to work.

- And you? - I'm meeting Director Leong.

Alright, I'll take you all to work now.

Okay.

He's deaf, how could he hear you calling?

Could it be him?

Please spare a few coins.

Where are you going?

Nothing.

Ma'am! Ma'am!

Thank you.

This is for you.

Thank you, it's beautiful.

- Spare some change. - I don't have any.

- Please have mercy. - I don't have any money.

- She's got the flower now, let's go. - Alright.

How did it come to this?

How was I to know they'd be stupid enough to sell that plot of land themselves.

If Au Gung couldn't invest in this plot, he wouldn't rush to sell off stock to raise cash.

But given Au Gung's vicious nature, I'm sure he won't let them off.

If that's the case, we might as well go with the flow.

You mean use those two to lure Au Gung into bringing out the shipment.

Yes.

I've finally found you.

Brother Gan, back then this brat is the one who played you.

So it was him.

That's right, I said it long ago. I clearly felt this man looked familiar.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Who is he?

I only found out he teaches at the youth center.

- Bring him in for me. - Yes.

Wait, Brother Gan.

We can wait until the shipment leaves the warehouse before grabbing him, it's not too late.

Why stir up more trouble?

I won't be foolish enough to confront him head-on.

Use the teenagers at the center. Lure him into walking into the net himself.

Kin, leave this to you.

Owl!

Sorry, I've ruined everyone's mood.

Then why are you still standing there?

Even with a seat, you don't know how to sit.

I didn't tell you to sit, I told you to go.

What is it?

Right now, don't ask anything. Just make this phone call.

Excuse me, are there a lot of Kow Kei Store reporters here? Also, find me a smokeless cannon.

What are you doing?

Go ahead and call.

Hello.

Is this Kow Kei Store? Could you please put Mou Yim Pao on the phone?

What Kow Kei Store? There's no Mou Yim Pao here. You've got the wrong number.

This voice sounds familiar.

Isn't this the person who told us to come to the center for work?

Yes, how did you know?

We've found out. He's Uncle Chung, who works at the center.

Isn't he both deaf and mute?

If he were both deaf and mute, then we'd both be blind.

So what do we do now?

What do we do? We go back to the center tomorrow morning and find him.

- I'm going ahead. - Okay, okay.

Ms. Yeung, I'm heading out now.

Are you coming? I can give you a ride on my way.

I, I'm going ahead.

Please.

I won't keep you from sleeping any longer. Get some rest early. Goodbye.

Now do you know what to do?

Why are you all so rude?

They know what to do.

I don't know if we can fool them.

We absolutely have to pull it off.

And again, those kids have very weak hearts.

What excuse should we use to deceive Mr. Wong later?

How would I know?

How about saying Ms. Leơng's family was robbed?

How could we?

Or say her house caught fire.

That won't work either.

Boss Wong is here.

I've thought about it. Why don't you deal with him? I'll go up first.

Chan Chi Ming.

Mr. Wong.

What's going on?

I'm fine.

But Miss Yeung, she...

What about her?

Just take Mr. Wong with you.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Where's Owl?

He hasn't come back.

He hasn't come back yet?

Thank you.

Damn it.

This kid has been driving me crazy.

Still playing mute? I'll beat you until you can't speak either.

Still saying "ouch"?

What do you gain by doing this?

Stop hitting him.

Stop? I'll keep hitting him until he's dead.

If you keep hitting him, Owl will be the one who dies.

Why?

Owl has been taken by someone. They could kill him at any time.

They're very vicious.

Who are they? How do you know?

I don't know who they are.

Last night, Kai Chai Ming and I were beaten up by them.

They forced us to lure Mr. Wong to meet him.

Why are you only telling me now?

I was scared. I didn't know what to do until just now.

You little brat. Do you know where they are?

I do.

Then why don't you take me there?

Don't go, I haven't finished beating you yet. I'll continue when I get back.

Keep an eye on him for me.

Sir, this has nothing to do with me, don't blame me.

I won't blame you, that's just how they operate.

One plus one equals two.

If you beat him like that, you could easily kill him.

Easy? He cheated me out of money too, and it was easy for him.

I'd have to beat him so hard he gets a brain injury, and even if he's sober, he'll end up an idiot.

Two plus two equals four.

Three plus three equals eight.

Alright, enough of this nonsense. Hang him up!

I'll take care of this, no problem.

Fine, fine, let's go with that.

Chief Lu, there's a woman at the police report desk. She's demanding we press charges against Au Gung.

What? Don't take her statement.

Bring her in here.

Yes, sir.

Chief Lu, this is Ms. Yeung.

- You can step out first. - Yes, sir.

Come in and have a seat.

Chief, please send someone right away to rescue them.

Don't rush, sit down first.

Tell me clearly, who are "they"?

How did they get caught by those people?

My name is Yeung, I work at the juvenile rehabilitation center.

Two teachers and several of us teenagers were taken away by some men.

I heard it was Au Gung who did it.

They also said they want to kill all of them.

Chief, please send someone to rescue them.

Now go back to where you were earlier and find assistant Luu.

Leave your contact information.

I'll send people to rescue them quickly.

- Chief... - Go on.

- Hello? - Hello, who is this?

It's Dai Dau Kiet.

Put Brother Gan on the phone.

Brother Gan, a girl just came to the police to report you.

She says you captured two teachers and several students.

I think before we ship the goods, we should let them go.

Release them now? Are you crazy?

How do we release them now? And listen, hurry over and help.

Right now?

That's right, get here right away.

Alright, I'm on my way.

Move!

It's too late for you.

What's going on? What happened?

Everything that happened is on this audio recording.

Let's go.

- Done. Go arrest them right away. - Let's go.

Back up! Okay.

Boss, it's all done.

- Get the cargo ready and onto the boat. - Yes.

Get the cargo ready and onto the boat, quickly.

Stuff those two into suitcases. Throw them into the sea.

Got it.

You create a diversion and lure them away. I'll go save Mr. Wong.

Do you know what "create a diversion" means?

I do.

Let's hear it.

I won't say it, but I'll do it.

Hey, this stage is awesome, come up and play.

Get him down from there.

Yes.

Hurry up!

Quick, grab him.

Come up slowly, be careful.

You're dead meat.

Don't!

- The bastard's over here, get over here. - Oh, hurry.

One, two, three.

Buddy, now you have to bless me.

I want to be a hero, fighting twenty-some men by myself.

Quickly load the cargo onto the boat.

Someone's here.

Teacher Wong, wake up. Are you okay?

Wrong guy, get up quick! Wrong guy.

Are you serious? You said to pin him, and you ended up pinning me.

I didn't mean to.

Don't move.

What are you kids doing here?

Getting rid of the bad guys for the people.

They're...

They're all students from the center.

They're not students.

Cuff them.

Ma'am.

So he's a cop too. Let's go.

You two, hold on a second.

They're students too?

No, those two are teachers at the center. They're my undercover informants.

Thank you, everyone.

I'm really sorry, you two.

We're free now.

And you...

Easy, I mean, take it easy. Let's go.

You really made it look convincing.

If this fake shipment gets out, we're in trouble.

You can go back to your post now.

Yes, boss.
