Lee rock.

Present!

Are you Lee rock?

Yes!

Read out this newspaper.

Tsui hin's future battle...

It's tsui pong!

Tsui pong's future battle, each side tried the best to Van...

To "wi win", n, hot to "va n"

each side tried its best to win. West wing had been...

"Captured!". All right, that's it.

Are you from chiu chow?

Hai feng county.

How long have you been in Hong Kong?

One year.

Why do you want to join the police force?

How about you?

I'm bloody asking you!

Just to earn a living.

In 1949, Lee rock entered the police academy.

After six months of training in wong chuk hang,

he became a policeman at the monthly salary of $110.

At that time, the price of newspaper was 10 cents only.

Morning, sir.

After tomorrow's graduation ceremony, you'll be real police.

To be served in the police force.

Don't you remember what I've taught you?

About the responsibility of a police?

To keep the society in order.

About the society in order, actually it's very complicated.

What is your principle to maintain the society in order?

Hong Kong's law and the rule of the police.

Right! And you?

We should protect yourself first. And then listen to the order from our officers.

If your officers received the bribes, ask you to do so.

What will you do?

I will refuse.

How about you?

I will.

Actually all the rules in this world is fixed.

But on your hand, it becomes alive.

If you want to be a good policeman,

want to be get promote.

First, obey the order from officers.

Second, do as the own way.

If you do it in your own way, you will end up to be a beggar.

Now you know all the secrets for success.

As your instructor,

I wish all of my students the best.

Of course, if one of you makes it to the top,

and remembers to come back and thank me.

I will be ecstatic.

I bet 20 cents on no. 4, 10 cents on the banker.

20 cents on no. 4, that's it.

It's not bad business, isn't it?

It's all ready.

This is the best beat ever known.

Brother Yang

hsiu huang, you were here already.

But the money here belongs to c.I.D.

Hey, where's the parents?

Don't know!

You don't want to pay, do you?

No!

What shall I do?

Jelly cakes! White as snow white... Jelly cakes.

Sorry, sir.

That's how much I usually pay.

Give it to him.

Sir.

How're the cakes tonight?

These are the best.

Take out 2 pieces will make you carry less weight.

No problem.

Here, take it.

Sir, you must be tired, have a bowl of noodles first.

Hey, your tables are all over the street.

Not enough? One more piece?

Don't you know the kid's stall over there?

I do!

I'm in a hurry, can you collect money for me?

Sure! No problem! I will handle it!

Get up... that's it... don't eat...

I'm still eating!

You're in the way!

Let's go!

Don't move my stall.

The police said your stall's obstructing the traffic.

It's the same everyday.

Why are you avoiding them when they come?

I had to go to toilet.

Cut the crap and pay up.

No big deal.

I usually pay for what I eat.

Mad dog, you've got a fortune!

Get stuffed, I don't got any fortune.

Your transfer to c.I.D. Has been approved.

No shit?

It's real.

And you know what?

You're going to be under sergeant ngan tung.

Ngan tung!

- Great! I've hit the jackpot. - Let's celebrate.

It's my treat.

Andy, I will pay for all these.

Enjoy the food. I am going to work with ngan tung, pal.

Try to please ngan tung whenever possible.

You are close in style with ngan tung.

Check, please.

No need. Mad dog has already paid for everyone.

No, I have my own money.

It's already paid, why so stubborn?

I don't want to use his dirty money.

How do you know?

We have patroled with him today.

Are you from chiu chow?

How do you know?

There's a bad characteristic for you carry less weight.

- What? - Unyielding!

What is the matter with mad dog?

Eat some wrong pills! Are you full?

I am full.

What? You don't like his dirty money too.

I don't mind dirty money.

I do mind he is personally dirty.

If you want to try chiu chow tea, just come to see me in my office.

Don't bother.

We're on the same boat.

Sir, there's a robbery at tai ping godown.

Do you want to have a look?

Uncle, be careful.

Move a little bit, move a little bit...

You can't even do small things. Let me do it.

Don't take it. It costs 5 cents each.

I do it myself.

Alright, take this.

Even you can't hold it.

Dad, I'm going out.

Don't be too late. I will not wait for you.

I know.

Boss, 2 cents worth of biscuits, please.

Wait a moment, please!

Rose, there's a customer

coming!

Thanks!

Mom, I'm going out.

Thank you!

Don't be afraid. They can't see us now.

I have something for you.

No thanks.

No? Why?

Please take it, there are many peoples around.

I really don't understand.

What?

Come over there. There is something I want to ask you.

Are you so frightened of your dad?

Why don't you tell him we're together?

Do you believe that I will tell your dad I'm going to marry you?

Oh, no!

Why not?

Alright, I promise you not to tell.

But you have to promise me one thing.

What?

Let me have a kiss.

No? Alright, I will go and talk to your dad.

What does that mean?

Yes or not?

That means "yes".

What?

Oh!

You're so wicked!

Excuse me! Please!

Be careful!

It's full house for the front stall. Only a few tickets of back stall are available...

It's $6 for a back stall ticket.

Oh! I only have $7.9.

How much do you have?

I only have $3.60.

Alright, let's forget it.

No, let's see if there are any scalpers.

Excuse me! Please!

Where're your jelly cakes?

Where's your partner?

I guess he's at home.

You're here for a living now. Are you?

Yes.

You're a scalper?

Yes.

$3 for the back stall, is it 0.K.?

$2.40!

$2.40? What kind of tickets are they?

It's the best. 3rd row in the middle.

How is that possible?

It's because of your beautiful companion. So, I give you a good price.

Stop the bullshit, go in quickly and enjoy the show.

Thanks a lot!

Oh! My purse...

Stop! Don't run.

Stop it...

Give me a face, we're from the same boat.

Which gang are you from?

Everybody around here knows me.

I'm the one who is famous for selling tickets outside the cinema, lardo, the scalper.

Lardo? Who is lardo? Do you know him?

- No! - Give me a face.

We don't bear all of you no grudge.

Let's even the misunderstanding up.

Damn you.

Don't give me a face even we're from same boat.

Bastard!

Run?

Forget it, stop chasing...

Do you really think that you can beat them?

How are you? Does it hurt?

Nothing.

Are you alright?

I'm fine.

You two watch no show tonight.

I'll treat you to see the show tomorrow night.

Great!

That police should play the trombone with so long-winded.

I leave now. I hate to be trouble. Can you handle it?

- Alright! - See you later.

Thank you.

I must be going now.

What are you looking for?

I've lost my Jade charm.

Here.

It's all my fault to let you injured.

Silly! Don't blame yourself for everything.

I did it willingly.

Thank you.

I'll do it myself. Hold this for me.

Is it cute? There's a story behind this charm.

My grandpa was born in the year of the monkey. He had 12 children.

And my dad was also born in the year of monkey.

So my grandpa give this charm to my dad.

You were born in the year of the monkey too.

That's why my dad gave it to me.

But he made one condition.

He said if I met the right girl,

I must give it to her.

So, consider it yours.

Take it back first.

Why? Don't you want it?

If you give it to me now,

you'll have nothing valuable to give my dad for our marriage.

Alright, I'll keep it first.

Here's $5. Have a tea with your partners.

What? Only $5 for the whole troop?

It's not even enough for drinking the beers and playing the cards.

So, how much do you want?

At least $20.

$20? You're too bloody greedy!

Here's $5, just take it or leave it. You take your choice.

What? Treat us as beggars! Bastard!

Don't move or you'll be in big trouble!

What? “What?

Get rid of the weapons!

Sergeant teng, we'd paid the money already.

But these beggars here are over doing it.

What are you ranting about?

There's nothing that can't be solved.

Get rid of the clubs!

Don't argue about it.

Just give them a little bit more.

Don't you want to give?

Everyone just take one step backwards.

Today we have $10. Each one can get $1.60. This is yours.

Give this... to him.

Here's your share.

I will not take this sort of money.

He did not want to take it. That means there's more for us!

Good, we'll divide his share.

Well, let's go.

Well? Going to patrol alone? We will not wait for you.

Leave him alone. Let's go.

You take care this case.

Yes, sir.

I picked up the ring on the street.

Picked it up?

Really? I'm always walking with my head down.

For all these years in my life, why don't I find any valuable?

Hear that?

I really picked up the ring on the street.

Bastard! Do you confess that the ring is stolen by you?

Confess it... bastard!

You received the warning letter. How long will it be for your probation?

Six months?

One year!

What did they lodge a complaint against you?

Smoking and napping on duty; Saying foul languages to officers.

The last two complaints are fake.

They're not letting you off easy.

My officer told me that it was my last warning, otherwise I would be fired.

Clear enough?

I think you are still not clear.

Confess it or not?

I confess it, sir!

This case is yours.

If you confessed earlier, you did not need to have that punishment.

Here is a bowl of beef noodles for you for your cooperation.

After then, I will take your statement.

I can help you this time, but how about tomorrow onwards?

If you want to come aboard this boat, you must try hard to grip it.

Otherwise you'll always fall into the sea.

Are you sick? Don't waste the food even you don't want to.

What are you doing? Scratch harder.

What are you waiting here? You're wasting your time.

Rose will not see you.

Rose and I are serious.

I want to marry her. Please ask her come here.

You're wasting your time. She's already gone to our home village.

She never mentiond it before.

I never gave you permission to go with her either.

Let's not argue. When will she come back?

It's none of your business.

It's my business.

Boss, are you going to a mahjong game late?

Keep on playing.

I had not blame on you for taking advantage of my daughter.

Do I have to pay you off for this?

You cannot do that even you're a police.

Not every policeman is willing to corrupt.

I'm not that kind of corrupt policeman.

Then you're even worse than corrupt policeman.

The others know how to earn dirty money, but you don't.

You're going to die penniless.

Do you want to marry Rose? Fine, show me $50,000.

You're looking down on me.

Fine. I will give you 10 days.

If you cannot do it, I will give you the alternative.

I'll sell her to the clubs for a year

and let her to be the whore until she's ravaged.

Then you can come back for her with only $500.

No? How about $50?

Or even $5. I'll give her to you finally.

You are nothing...

Don't think that I can't make money!

Don't you dare go down!

You have no shame!

Tell auntie liu to take her back to dong guan.

Rose! We do this all for your own good.

You weren't born yesterday! Poverty is the hell on earth.

That's the way of the world.

Don't be pathetic.

You're a disgrace to the police force.

The file's ready which can be handed to the superintendent.

0o.k.!

If people scorn you for not having money,

then find it with all your might.

When I return, the bottle can be empty.

But your face better not be contorted

Bet quick!

I bet $50,000 for "big" with my revolver.

Make way.

Brother snakes!

We're legitimate. We fixed it up with everyone.

You're legitimate. So am I. $50,000 for "big".

- Let's deal! - Ah sui!

Yes, brother snakes!

Give him some pocket moneys and send him home.

Yes, brother snakes!

I'm not here for pocket money. I want to bet $50,000.

Let's deal! Please!

Take it back. This table's closed tonight.

I'll try the next table.

It's all right.

Having booze... shit, drink it!

Bastard, dare come to my den.

Kill you.

Stop it...

Go away, hands off.

Stupid fool! You should check whom I am.

I will kill anyone no matter whom they are.

Silly boy!

Uncle,

brother snakes said that someone was looking for trouble with a revolver at his den.

That guy has been badly beaten up.

I'll go at once.

Where's the revolver?

He threw this revolver down and demanded $50,000.

It's against all the rules. Uncle.

You can't blame me for beating him up.

If everybody do the same thing later,

I'm afraid I cannot manage it if something happens.

Must I ask you personally for the money?

I don't mean it...

Don't bullshit. I'll let it go this time.

If this thing does happen again next time,

let me know immediately.

Otherwise I will make your den close. How's that?

I haven't got that much cash now.

No?

You're really not on the ball.

Let's talk it over, uncle.

How about you give me 3 days?

You said that, 3 days.

Watch your step.

Uncle.

Feeling bad?

No, I'm all right.

I'm sorry. I didn't know it'd end up like this.

Do you think that a cop's revolver is only worth for $50,000?

What a disgrace!

Forget it.

Always acting like Mr. cool,

but you lost your senses over a girl. What's wrong with you?

But she's the most adorable girl I love.

Stop it...

I promise to pay you back $50,000.

How? You're useless!

Let's go.

Hi!

"To be happy as immense as the east sea"

Sam. What's the matter?

Why don't you go out and help to serve the guests?

Let me watch for a minute.

"To live a long and happy life"

Don't worry! You'll have your $50,000 tomorrow.

Go to have a bet over there.

Oh! No. No more bet.

Bet your revolver again if you lost, I will take your bet.

Thank you, uncle.

Uncle!

Welcome. Come over and sign...

Boss hasn't come yet.

You do have time today...

Sergeant ngan!

Sergeant ngan, how are you?

Please sign the guest book.

Sergeant ngan, sign it, please.

What's the matter?

It's ngan tung.

Sergeant ngan, you're so busy to come here.

Sergeant ngan, haven't seen you for quite some time?

You're so busy, we haven't had time for fun for some time.

It's a hard time, mate, a couple of weeks ago,

some bastards committed some crimes in my district while I was on leave.

They robbed Mr. chu's jewellery store of hundreds taels of gold.

It caused quite a commotion.

So it was sure to be the headline of the newspaper.

It was also the talk of the town! And how about now?

What? When I was back to the office, the superintendent Smith asked me immediately.

"Can you close this case within 3 months?"

Do I

- need 3 months to clear the case? - Take care of rock here.

It's funnier than the fat lady playing a trumpet. Isn't it?

Of course.

Sergeant ngan tung is well-known even through he has appointed for less than 3 years.

His reputation is even better than Sherlock homes.

It is really a joke of using 3 months.

So I told my mates.

As we are the policeman,

we should serve to the public occasionally. Am I right?

So, this morning, after 3 days investigation,

we raided on the great wall motel

and arrested the whole gang.

That's why I say he's the best.

I bend my two legs in admiration.

What about the third leg?

His third leg is always bent.

Have you ever see it straight up?

So, you've been so busy. You don't have time to piss.

You must be flat out.

Certainly!

But, when Mr. ngan gives us the word,

we have no qualms about

sacrificing our lives. Am I right?

We wondered how much gold Mr. ngan salvaged this time.

What winds brought sergeant ngan here?

Today is uncle's birthday.

Just because you forgot to invite me,

it doesn't mean I should disregard it.

Listen, everyone!

I wish my former boss have a long life and great virility.

Good...

Also...

Mad dog, show uncle my gift.

Just a small 5 tael gold plaque.

Hoping you'll climb high on the ladder of success, like me.

Thanks...

Mad dog!

What are you standing here for?

Put the plague to where people can see it.

So they'll know the esteem I have for uncle.

Sergeant ngan, let's have a game of dominoes since you're here.

Come... uncle...

I'm short of luck.

Come on. How about it, uncle?

It looks like your luck has run out.

This one will win you all.

Sergeant ngan! You're great!

Come on, uncle, let's see what you have.

Looks like uncle is a dead lost.

Who dare to say uncle's dead lost?

Uncle, you're playing me around?

Not playing, just winning!

This one can win you with 4 times of dividend.

Mr. ngan, don't you know the rules?

You shouldn't be at this table if you didn't know how to play...

Who gave you the permission to talk?

Sergeant ngan is unhappy. Let's pass this game.

The kids are just joking.

Let's forget this game...

Mad dog!

Pay uncle the dividend.

What's your name, kid?

Lee rock.

Damn! I reckon you're someone special. But only is a constable!

Worthless, good-for-nothing!

Uncle, have I gone too far?

It's nothing.

It's my birthday.

Be happy and drink... enjoy ourselves.

Let's get drunk!

You're too ballsy tonight.

You dared to make an enemy of ngan tung. You idiot.

I'm just a small potato. I've got nothing to scare.

Anyway, many peoples say that good guys are not suitable to be police.

Did you know what "soccer king" Lee wai-tong did

before he was famous?

No, I don't know!

He was just a ball boy.

Did you know what the emperor of sung dynasty did before he became the emperor?

He was just a palace guard.

Just like the police as we are.

The only difference was that he was patrolled inside the palace.

Every successful people does come from the basic before being the hero.

That mean... maybe in the future. I'll be the commissioner!

That's the spirit.

But, for commissioner...

Rock, let me tell you frankly.

I will agree with you if you say ngan tung can be in that position.

But you...?

Why?

Although ngan tung is mean and cunning, but he's smart and intelligent.

I'm not stupid.

He's determined and can do everything ruthlessly.

I'm unswerving and unyielding.

He's full of vim and vigour.

I can plan meticulously.

What?

He knows how to take this cleverly.

That's why he'll succeed.

If I'm greedy for this small money, I will take at least a billion.

Uncle, uncle!

- What's up? - Where's rock?

Here - what's happening?

Your house is on fire!

Papa!

Papa!

Where are they?

Papa!

Brother...

Kit, where's pa?

He's with sister at the first aid station.

Are they alright?

Papa's leg is injured.

How about Rose?

I haven't seen her.

Where can she be?

Don't know!

Rose...

Rose...

- Don't go inside. - Get out!

- It's dangerous! Don't go inside. - Get out!

In 1951, the great fire at tung tau chuen in east kowloon

destroyed 500 squatters huts and left 20,000 homeless.

Lee rock's family was spared.

But Rose's entire family perished in the fire.

Rose was the only left unaccounted for.

Later, there was a news that her relatives brought her to China.

Lee rock followed every lead, but he could not find her eventually.

In 1952, with the support of detective sergeant chan,

Lee rock transferred to be c.1.D. At the monthly salary of $160.

At that time, the price of a small bowl of noodles was 30 cents only.

Let's go dancing tonight to celebrate.

Trying to squeeze me?

To celebrate your promotion, you should treat us well.

Sure, no problem!

As your beat is a golden route, you'll get much money later.

Did you get the gun?

Yes! It's here.

Why are you hiding it?

Isn't it too obvious?

It's legal. What are you afraid of?

I'm stuffed, uncle!

Don't bring anymore!

It's my privilege to serve our great sergeant! It's not easy to invite you to eat here.

The two of us can't finish it all.

A good guy!

Uncle, this is today's money!

This is your share.

Thank you, uncle.

You has been a c.I.D. For a few months.

Have you run into any hoodlums?

Or really tough wise guys?

Uncle, how should I deal with them?

How to deal?

You remember. If you run into bullies,

you have to act tough.

Beat them as their own games.

If those bastards ignore you,

the only way to make them submit to you

is to make them eat shit. Then they will afraid of you.

So that they'll hide when they see you coming.

I'm telling you the tricks. Don't just nod to me.

You have to act on it.

Why are you smiling? Is that Jade sweet?

It tastes like sweat.

Had dinner yet?

Yes, thanks!

What's up? Why are you here?

Brother snakes!

What? Playing c.1.D. Again.

Uncle asked me to collect money for him.

Sorry, uncle never mentioned it to me.

The fireman's been here recently,

and you just saw that the constable's collecting too.

I didn't know why so many peoples had come for money recently.

Don't fool me.

Uncle asked me to come for money. How can I face uncle if I cannot collect it?

That's right! You can't determine it.

Then tell uncle to come see me about the payments.

What? What are you still waiting for?

You probably seemed to wait for a tip.

It seem that $10 or $20 is sufficient in your style.

Give him $20.

Brother snakes, he doesn't want it.

You want $50,000 again? By what means?

You're just a constable.

Show me your gun and I'll give you $50,000.

I don't have anything but I'm c.1.D. Now. How about it?

The polices are coming!

Open the door.

Hurry!

Who's the keeper?

Sam, ask the pals to look around.

Round up some evidence.

Who's the keeper?

I am!

Get up!

Get up!

- You know what to do! - Knee down!

Wait, you've taken the wrong one! It should be these two!

Put those in a safe place!

I willl

hurry!

What a coincidence. Are you the keeper?

Face the wall and knee down.

Have a cigarette.

Thanks!

When did you get promoted to c.1.D.?

Not too long ago.

Do you know him?

My friend

you manage it.

- Fine! - Thanks!

So, shouldn't I be handcuffed?

You used to get the handcuff.

No. It's a novelty for me.

Get in line.

What's you name, by the way?

Lee rock.

Brother rock, you don't have to do me any favour.

I deserve this.

I won't mind.

- Really? - Yes!

Ok! The rule is to have 3 punches once you're locked up in c.I.D.

I know!

And then you get rammed with a rod.

What? I never heard that one before.

- New rule. - Really?

Rock, let's go! Yes!

Alright!

Let's go!

Wait for me!

You don't know. How can you be a station sergeant?

I'll let it go this time for the case in fu-lo street.

From now on, no matter how much the mobsters give you?

You are better to take the amount whatever you can get only.

If you don't keep your men under control,

I'll give you hell.

And I'm sure that you'll be degraded.

Whatever you say

as long as you're happy, uncle.

Sam

pass the word on to the firemen clearly-

if they try to cross into our territory again,

I'll burn down their fire station.

Ok, I'll speak to them.

Sam, who's this guy?

He is...

Uncle, he's the keeper of the opium den, my friend.

You manage it.

Follow me.

Everything is fine now.

Hey, your father's a butcher?

Yes, that's why I get the name of lardo.

When I was little,

the kids next door used to give me nicknames.

My mom gave me this nickname.

Really?

Brother rock

mom said that I was weaned on lard.

That's how I could grow up to be so strong like now.

Just call me if you have any problem.

Don't be keeper any more.

The life in prison can be addictive.

You think I need to jerk off if I have a wife. It's not my willing to be keeper.

This should be enough for a few weeks...

What are you doing? Brother rock

- take it! - No, I can't.

We're friends, aren't we?

No... I can't

then let's go up and make a statement.

Thanks!

Old fart! Trying to keep all the earnings to themselves?!

We'll see how long they'll get away with it.

Brother rock, any cigarette?

Sure!

Thanks!

Not at all!

Those constables have been picking food off your detective's plates?

I overheard a little bit just now.

Yes, so many smokers around recently.

It's so stupid to go against your own people for the opium.

I think that it doesn't make sense.

Better to think of more ways to sponge on the mobsters.

Easier said than done.

Brother rock!

There are 9% out of 10 sellers are sly.

The % seller is just pretending to be good guy as he believe in the after life.

This town is full of underground activities.

You can find other ways to earn money.

All the small dens have spare opium pipes

they'll bring out when the businesses are good.

Really?

That's how they cheated the detectives when they're arrested.

If I'm ever in charge,

I'll make sure they never get away with it.

What are you looking at?

She's my type too.

But you're not her type. Loot at you! Shit-liked head?

Damsel in distress!

May I arrange some villainies to here so you can pretend to save her?

No need! We have some volunteers.

He got smacked!

You smacked my face!

Let me squeeze your breasts!

Kick me without saying anything.

Can I call my boyfriend?

She's got balls!

Hey, gorgeous!

Eating?

Who asked you to sit?

Tempestuous mood, aren't you?

Let me warn you first. Just sit down if you have guts.

A great show will come soon.

It's time!

Be smart, have a kiss

and then dance with us all night.

If any of us thinks it's not all right...

Then what? Brother!

Then you cannot leave tonight.

Ok! Give me a kiss first.

I'm second.

That's enough! You're better to leave.

What the fuck! Get out of here.

Do you believe that we'll rip you apart? Who the hell are you?

I'm her boyfriend.

So what?

Let's fight

It's not him. It's them over there.

You got it. We're on the same boat. Beat them...

Bastards! How dare you insult our mistress?

Brother, which gang are you from?

Which gang? You have no right to ask?

Son-of-a-bitch!

Don't let them get away.

Everyone come out! Beat them.

What are you waiting for? Fight!

What are you doing?

You son-of-a-bitch! You dare to ask them to beat us.

Wish you all the worst!

Beat him up until he is toothless.

I will blame on you if he's still have one tooth.

Yes, mistress.

Watch the show!

Hey, it is not the right time to join the fighting.

Don't move!

Everybody kneel down!

Kneel down!

Get back!

Call the c.I.D., take them all back.

Hey!

What's up?

Don't you say you're my boyfriend? Why are you arresting all my men?

- But they... - Tell them to get out!

Brothers, let's get lost!

Quick, get out!

Where's the fighting? Stand still!

Why fight?

That police told us to get lost.

Which one?

Over there.

It was crazy that c.I1.D. Fought with us over a girl

and asked the coolies to attack us...

Shut up!

Brother, do you know them?

I don't know them.

Brother, you're a real pal.

Treat you to a lunch next time.

I'm not afraid on you. My father's a v.I.P.

Do you think that you can handle it?

Why not? Take them all to c.1.D.

What a smart ass. Take her in too.

Go!

Sign here.

We didn't know her boyfriend's a detective! Brother kuan!

Don't charge us.

We're the one being attacked. Why charge us?

Didn't you strike them?

Brother, we had to defend ourselves.

Otherwise we'd have been murdered.

Sit down!

Who's going to pay for the loss of my club?

Let's talk later.

The assailants are free but the victims are arrested.

What justice is that?

She's really stubborn.

She insists on shielding those coolies.

Do you know who is her father?

Silverfish.

Mobster of kowloon city?!

Yes.

He's having a big opium den business.

Yes.

C.1.d.? Who's speaking?

Silverfish! I knew. It was fortunately nobody got killed.

Don't worry. I'll handle it.

Your daughter's just like you-indomitable.

Ok, don't worry.

Your name is grace pak yuen-sheung?

Nice name.

But...

Too tough? None of your business.

But, not inside this station.

When can I leave?

Anytime!

Hey, I'm warning you. I'm going to woo you.

If you didn't have the gun with you, you'd probably be in the hospital.

If you weren't a mobster's daughter, you'd probably be more lovely.

Bye!

Brother shing, your business is booming, isn't it?

The more I earn the more I can give you.

Do you think that I'd forget your share?

New girl?

Once upon a time. Your type?

How about to have a good time with her?

It's your turn tonight, rock!

No, thanks.

Going celibate tonight.

I prefer to have my girl in romantic way.

Goofballs!

Let me tell you. They're red pills. Uppers.

Let me show you the stuff I have.

Keep it yourself.

No, thanks. Enjoy yourself.

Skinny bones!

Skinny bones! Don't even have tits!

How dare you to dance without tits?

Get some implants first.

Is he a regular?

He's a troublemaker.

Let's beat him up and throw him out.

Never mind! Let's drink up.

Don't let him bother you.

Skinny bones!

Hey beauty, I couldn't see you clearly on the stage before. Let me have a closer look.

Have a drink!

He's going to mess up here.

No, I don't drink.

You can't drink? Then stay here with us.

We're c.1.D. What's the matter?

C.1.d.? No big deal!

You better to drink it all.

Don't be too much.

Don't make trouble here!

You're better to watch your step.

Watch my step?

You watch your step!

Leave it now or we'll cuff you.

Come to arrest me if you dare. Ngan tung is my brother-in-law.

Do you think that we dare not to cuff you?

Forget it.

Don't make trouble for me!

Let him go.

- Let's go. - Fatty, just because you carry a gun,

it doesn't mean you look like a police, bastards.

What'd you say?

I said: "Bastards..."

Don't move!

If it weren't for ngan tung's sake,

we'd beat you to a pulp.

Give me a face, forget it.

What have you got to say to this?

Next time remember to give this kind of bastard a bash on his mouth.

Stop it!

Brother-in-law, save me!

Let him go!

Uncle, what did he do, rape, murder, arson or what?

Why did you give him such treatment?

It's assault with a deadly weapon; Possession of heroin.

Even now, he's still intoxicated.

What'd you expect me to do?

What do you want to do?

You said he assaulted someone. Did anyone hurt?

No... then nothing.

Just a few packets of heroin.

Tell the judge it's for your own use.

A small fine, at most.

I know!

Did you mention my name before?

I told them we're relatives

and that bastard clobbered me like that.

So that my name stands for nothing.

You're joking, sergeant ngan.

In these days, your name is so famous and powerful.

Those who don't know you are worthless.

So, what does your worthless followers mean

by insulting my brother-in-law in public?

They're all drunk. It's just misunderstanding.

It's my fault for not keeping my men in line.

Ok! You can take your brother-in-law home.

Tomorrow I'll treat you to lunch.

We'll call it even.

What is this? Is that arithmetic for elementary school?

What do you want?

I want a full accounting.

You finally speaks out what's on your mind.

You don't have to make it hard for uncle.

I were the one who beat your brother-in-law up.

I didn't realize ngan's dog could bite anyone on the street.

What? You can count all these on me. Lee rock.

But, don't count on them.

Bastard, how dare you talk to me like this?

How dare you?

Don't move!

Stop it!

No squabbling is allowed in my c.1.D. Room.

Uncle, I wouldn't stand behind that kid if I were you.

You'd regret it.

Listen, you can protect your dogs and I will protect my men all the ways as well.

I couldn't call myself to be their superior if I didn't.

If you disagree, then I'd shut up.

But I know I must protect him without any regret.

We stand by uncle all the way.

Uncle, I admire your brotherhood.

I can forgive you this time.

But the kid has to be responsible for this incident. Right?

Bing!

Stand with your legs apart.

Don't say I don't give you a chance.

First you kneel down, and you apologize to bing.

Then you crawl between his legs.

Finally you'll make amends with a feast on tomorrow.

After that I can consider to forget everything.

Let you mom crawl between the cur's legs.

Ah chiu!

Make him crawl!

Stop it!

If you make a move on my men, I will beat your dogs.

Kuan!

Lock bing up!

Charge him with assault and possession of drugs.

I don't care if god shows up tonight. I will not let him go.

Mad dog!

It's dirty. Clean the floor!

Yes!

Don't move!

I'll shoot anyone who sweeps up the dope.

Trying to scare me?

Don't excite me. I have heart problem.

The gun might go off accidentally.

You're great! You're going to pay for this.

Let's go!

Brother-in-law!

Go!

In 1955, after Lee rock offended ngan tung,

he was transferred to the faraway sha tau kok police station.

At same time, sergeant chan is forced to have early retirement.

Sir, I want to file a complaint.

What complaint?

I lost a hen.

When?

Last night.

Maybe a dog ate it.

Ate you mother's arse!

You find it for me, son of a bitch.

Over there is our officer.

Talk to him personally.

He's over there.

Officer, I lost a hen.

Officer! “What?

I lost a hen.

What did you cook that hen for?

It's your chicken.

A rooster! What good is it?

My hen is used to lay eggs!

Take it back.

No.

A rooster is good too.

It's no use for a rooster!

No!

Goes after hens.

No!

I need my hen to lay eggs!

There are many livestock here.

Take your pick?

Anything I want?

Yes!

Good!

What big pigs!

Lost a hen and get back a pig.

Fair enough.

Have you chosen?

I'd like a pig!

Then you make up a lot!

My hen is worth that much. It's fair.

Ok... just take it.

Hey, ah fat. I beg of you.

If anyone comes looking for livestock,

you just give them my condolences.

Don't disturb my slumber.

A cow knocked down by a car?

Okay... thank you.

Sorry! Sir

what's up now?

You have to pay your condolences in person for this case.

Sir, she killed our cow.

Ok! Let me take a look first.

Help me please.

It's you again!

Yes.

What a coincidence!

You're in my hands again.

Are you going to let them lynch me?

What?

Aren't you going to save me?

Save you?

Why don't you call your coolies for help?

I'm in the car! How can I phone them?

I knew all of you worked so hard to raise that cow

and she slaughtered it just like that.

I'm sure not to help her. You ask her for compensation.

I didn't say no compensation. How much?

You think you can make up for it with money?

Money's not everything.

The cow is like family to them. How can you do that?

How about you pay back this with your life?

Aren't you overdoing it?

It's not my words.

Get me out of here!

What?

- You're awful! - O.K... I'll help you!

Promise me one thing before helping you out.

What?

Didn't you say that I was your boyfriend?

Yes.

So, call me "darling".

I can't hear you!

Please help me, darling!

Darling, save Mel...

Fine.

Make way.

Thank you.

Give me your hands.

How can you treat me like that?

I'm charging you for the murdering of a cow.

Unlocked the cuff.

Calm down... check out what they want?

Follow me!

Go! Go!

Go inside!

The suspect was jailed.

Dear villagers...

Justice will be served.

Since you're all gathered,

all of you can convene at the village hall to play some gambling games

or whatever you like. Isn't it?

Pals, please take them home.

Go! Go!

Would you like some fruits?

Orange.

How about pomelo? One for two.

How about grapes?

I just have leeche. One for two.

Surely you should have banana!

Here!

Is that one for two?

The fruits are home grown. They're really sweet.

Great! Can I have a glass of water?

Ok! Can I have the sweetest one?

Let me try first.

It's tart.

It tastes bitter!

You cannot believe that bananas can taste salty.

Wait, the best one always comes at the last.

How long are you going to keep me here?

I'll drive you home tonight.

I know my way back.

Do you want to drive without license again?

No problem, I will have the driving test day after tomorrow.

Where is the testing route?

Why do you ask?

I just want to warn my family and friends

to stay out from that route.

Lee rock, I warn you...

I'm warning you too.

You cannot refuse the gift from me.

I give you the gift. Let's make peace.

What's your favourite animal? I'll make it for you.

The Buddhist monk, Mr. tong.

Since when is a Buddhist to be an animal?

He's not but he could tame the monkey.

So, do you know which animal can tame the monkey?

It's the spider woman, the skeleton spirit.

The Princess iron-fan... All those beautiful sorceress.

Brother rock, wait!

Oh! I'm all out of breath. What a climb! Brother rock!

If you stay here and have a hiking everyday,

you will soon be get used to this.

Let me treat you a lunch.

It is painful.

What happened? Let's see.

What happened?

I twisted my ankle.

What're you doing?

Sorry, brother rock. Come with us.

Get in.

Brother, they're here.

Who are you? Dare to kidnap a detective!

Stop it!

Lardo, stay away!

What's the matter to bring us here?

Are you Lee rock?

I don't think I know you.

Are you serious about grace or just want to take advantage on her?

None of your business.

Do you think she's naive and easy to cheat?

Naive? She can fight by her wit.

Do you want to marry her?

It's none of your business.

Lardo, let's go!

Wait!

You can take the money on the table as much as you can with one hand.

Only one condition, leave my daughter alone!

So you're silverfish!

Big boss!

Sorry, rock isn't in need of cash.

My daughter is used to waste the money.

How can you keep her on your wages of being c.1.D. Only?

Since when are chiu chow people so good to daughters?

I don't have sons. Who else can I take care?

Not enough money? Use both hands. Or 4 hands.

- Come! Take as much as you like. - Uncle!

You caught us here.

If you're just trying to use our incompetence to glorify your worthiness,

you've succeeded. Now excuse us!

Kid, you've got guts as well as wit.

But grace is spoilt by me. Can you handle her?

She'll change for my sake.

So, it seem that someone can finally tame my daughter!

Well, since I've offered you the money,

you can consider it as a gift

or a dowry for the marriage. Take it.

Uncle, I will earn the money in my own ways in order to marry grace.

If I cannot do it, you can stop her to marry me.

I don't want your money, I just want to get back my gun!

Muscles!

Yes, boss!

Thank you!

Why come here to eat at this heavy raining day?

Because the duck soup is famous here.

How did you know?

I used to come here with someone.

Who?

Him!

Papa!

Let's go. The soup's no good here.

The pepper and salt silverfish is much delicious next door.

You afraid to sit. Are you angry or afraid to drink?

Waiter!

2 bottles of distilled wine.

And a big spittoon for this uncle. Thanks!

Which side do you think will win, dear?

You should ask which side she wanted to win.

I don't care who wins.

The only thing I care that there will not have any revenge. Ok?

To be a big happy family, right?

Maybe I will make you eat this bone, blabber mouth.

One for you, one for me.

How are you? Do something, papa!

So the spittoon is for your own use.

But you've the guts anyway.

So useless.

Why did you drink so much?

No problem.

No problem. Let's another one...

Papa! Come hold him up.

I raised you to be adult. Have you ever be so nice to me before?

Papa, hurry up!

Hold him up!

Brother silverfish!

Sergeant ngan, I'm glad for your coming.

Come and hang it on for sergeant ngan.

There are so many experts here. How can I be chairman?

You don't think it's beneath you, do you?

Have a seat. Teach the kids.

Have a tea.

Sergeant ngan, I knew you were born in the year of the rat.

What is this for?

As long as it pleases you!

I should tell you I was born in the year of the ox.

Sergeant ngan, just keep it.

So... what's up to you?

What do you mean?

Brother, this isn't the first time we meet.

I have a relative who has insulted you before.

You're a go-between.

Sergeant ngan, you have to excuse him on my account.

Your relative! Which gang did he belong to?

He's not a gangster.

Had I arrested him before?

No!

What's his name?

Promise me first.

Alright, as you said.

That's prompt!

Tell him to come out.

To apologize for sergeant ngan

people say that sergeant ngan is a straight person.

So it is really true.

Our sergeant ngan is highly regarded by every peoples.

It is because he means every word he says.

Papa!

Hello, sergeant ngan.

Ah tak, let's get out of here.

I can excuse anything if he's someone else,

but not this one no matter what gift you give me.

Sergeant ngan, wait.

I thought sergeant ngan was a man of his words. But you just kept your words shortly.

It's really a revelation to me!

Did you say he's your relative?

Then, how is he related to you?

Is he your adopted son or brother?

He will be my son-in-law.

Sergeant ngan, he just wants to be transferred back to the original post again.

Please forgive him!

Pay your respects to Mr. ngan!

Come on, rock.

Are you dumb?

It's my apologies, sergeant ngan.

Sorry! I just choked.

Are you satisfy now?

Say thank you to Mr. ngan!

Thank you.

Are you alright? Rock!

I had told you that I didn't want to talk to him.

I'll show him my power.

You'll have the chance.

Attention

the city is seriously in turmoil. It is much better to make more money.

Remember not to take advantage of the poor.

We understand.

Please disperse peacefully within 5 minutes.

Or we'll use force to break in.

Please disperse peacefully within 5 minutes.

Or we'll use force to break in.

He's coming again!

Help me to watch over.

Brother rock, do you still want to buy the chief's wife house?

I will pay 10 times the market price, around $500,000.

No, he wants at least 1 million.

You can ask him yourself.

No!

Think about it, in the station,

you're the best and the smartest c.1.D.

You've so many channels to earn money. A million dollars for being sergeant is worth.

But you can easily earn it in 1-2 years.

To have a human touch!

He will be retired to england and will not come back.

Don't haggle. Ok?

Alright. My last offer. $800,000.

I seem to be the only police in station who can offer this price.

The chief's been here for over 10 years.

In addition to the money he corrupted before plus the amount I give him,

I sure he can enjoy his retirement.

You go to talk with him.

Remit the money to his hometown in 3 days. He can guarantee you will be sergeant.

Bother rock

Disperse peacefully or we will use smoke.

Move, go!

In 1957, due to the kowloon riots,

the government lost the control to balance the relationship

between the right and left wing factions.

Lee rock quelled the riots through massive arrests,

and helped to restore peace to the colony.

On the other hand, with the financial support from his father-in-law's,

Lee rock successfully promoted to be detective sergeant

with the monthly salary of $280.

At that time, a 1,000 square feet high class flat was worth $50,000.

Thanks!

Brother rock!

Uncle!

I heard you was promoted. Congratulations!

Thank you.

How does my office suit you?

No, I still prefer to sit at the duty room.

Why? Don't you like the geomancy of my office?

There's nothing wrong with the geomancy.

I just want to be closer to my subordinates.

It's less boring this way.

I heard you set many rules in your district once being promoted.

You changed the way for collecting the bribes.

Aren't you afraid you've made a mess of everyone?

It's been messing because there weren't any rules in between.

Watch and see.

I'm sure other detectives will follow me in the same way.

Don't talk me. How are you anyway?

I work for a rich man as a bodyguard.

There're many swindlers trying to fleece the rich.

Be careful!

Are you afraid I'm getting rusty?

Don't bother, kid.

Remembered that I was the one who trained you. So that you can be the top now.

Probably what you had done the greatest achievement in your life

was let me to be the police.

If you hadn't spread rumours about us being fraudulent,

we wouldn't have beaten up your gang.

Don't bullshit!

When and how did I spread rumours?

No? How come your den is always packed?

And my den is empty.

It's because you don't treat your customers well.

Who says that?

Your sentries always bash the customer without any reason.

Also everybody knows how crooked you are.

Say it again if you dare!

I swear I'll smash up your dens.

Quiet!

Let me ask you. Had you ever cheat the customers?

Of course not!

We want to be in business for a long time.

We're honourable!

Great! Most gamblers can differentiate if you are or not.

And why did you spread the rumours?

We didn't!

So what are you two squabbling about?

I cannot stand his threaten.

He threatened to destroy my den.

You think you're no. 1

you two are big brothers. There's nothing you can't talk over.

It will not work. They looks like they want blood bath.

How about to let you two to have 2 minutes for a brawl downstairs?

Then we'll talk again.

Still not enough?

Just grab for all your weapons you have.

To have a real showdown at the playground.

After then you can collect your own casualties.

I will let the polices be blind to this.

Is it enough?

Do you have anything to say?

Well, I have something to say.

From now on, all the money will be collected weekly.

There will be no other alternatives.

All former arrangements are cancelled.

To make it consistent and clear, all money belonged to the c.I.D.

Will be collected by lardo alone.

Gentlemen, I'm collecting money, not chasing the debts.

Please don't make it hard for me...

Moreover...

Inspector chan will explained to you about the money for the constables.

Our money will be collected by the constable of no. 3624.

You may find it easy to remember.

3624, ok?

If there's any future police action or raids,

or any special case,

lardo will inform everybody.

Also, if you have any complaints,

you can also inform me through lardo.

In other words, lardo is my representative.

Sit straight.

In these few day, I want more squads out.

I want all the whores back into their dens.

That's very ambitious.

There're two good advantages for doing this.

First, there will have less hookers on the streets.

It will look much better.

The urban council may appreciate us.

Second, if all the hookers go back to the whore houses,

their business will boom and we can collect more money.

Brother rock, bill wants to open another den on tung wah street. What do you think?

Tung wah street?

There're already two large dens there.

One's belonged to shing, the other one's wah's.

It will make many troubles over there.

You tell him. I will let him to do business on tung cheung street.

If he agree, ask lardo to open an account for him.

Count it?

Is it right amount?

Pay earlier, next month!

Sorry about this.

They will blame on me.

Don't make me trouble.

Sam!

More!

Drink more!

Great!

Take it all.

Are you happy?

Did you cheat them?

It was a set up by those bastards.

They're trying to blackmail me.

I admit I like gamble, but not cheating.

Also, I'm bloody stupid.

How can I learn to cheat?

Does Mr. cheung know this?

It doesn't matter whether my dad knows it or not.

He will help me.

But I may get a scolding. That's all.

I just ask you to do me a favour. Will you?

So it's you, brother snakes.

No point in negotiating! Let's go!

Uncle, it is wise to sit down and settle this clearly.

So now, you have two Hicks as sidekicks. No wonder why you are so over done it.

Uncle, the time has changed.

I call you uncle in courtesy.

Since you come with him,

you're better stay here before we talk over.

Bastard. You blackmailed him

and accused him for cheating. What else can we say?

This bastard lost money last 3 nights.

He borrowed $200,000 from me.

What's wrong for me to get back my debt?

I heard a different story.

Yes, uncle, they trying to set me up!

You liar, everybody witnessed the money you lost.

Uncle, I have witnesses on my side.

Where?

I asked them to come here. They're late.

Where did you tell them to come?

Outside.

See if they're here.

Wait, gramps, are you covering him?

If you are, you must do it fairly.

Shut up!

I like to hear it from both sides.

Go!

Boss, the bastard ran away!

You useless bum!

Gramps, so you're in this together with him.

You had your man to follow him and he got away!

Don't blame me.

You want his ass, get it yourself.

I don't care. He's gone, so you can't leave.

Take you hands off! I am a retired sergeant.

Beat him!

Your former henchman Lee rock is so domineering now.

He's driven me to the walls.

You're no longer a sergeant. You're nothing. Who care you?

Take him.

Unless we find that bastard, otherwise you cannot leave.

Go!

Brother snakes, there is a patrol car!

Quick!

Calm down. Let's pull over and let them pass.

Don't move!

- It's uncle. - Help!

Damn!

Chase them!

Turn left!

Take him into the hut.

- Move! - Hurry!

Stand back!

They're outlaws in there. We don't have enough men.

Call headquarters for support.

But chief, that is only three men.

I think if you give me two men, we can handle it.

Let's go. Two of you.

Move in, quick!

Stand guard by the window.

Tie him up.

Snakes, just kill me if you dare.

Otherwise I'll get you sooner or later.

Old fool, do you think you're still a sergeant?

What now, brother snakes?

Calm down, just relax.

Snakes, you can't get away. Surrender now!

Shut up!

Move!

What's the situation now?

Uncle has been kidnapped by 3 bandits.

An foreigner officer has been shot.

Surround the area.

Surround here.

Follow me.

Stay away. I have a hostage.

Don't be rash! Let's talk.

I want to talk to the person in charge. One person only.

If no one come up, I'll shoot him.

I have nothing to lose.

It's really uncle.

Is that snakes?

Yes!

Tak! Is there my district?

Or is it belonged to that son of a bitch?

This is right in the middle. It's not clear which person is in charge here.

Let's go!

Uncle is up there. I must rescue him somehow.

Hey, I'm not so sure

whether there is belonged to me or not.

Even if there's belonged to me, I wouldn't take a chance to send someone alone.

If necessary, let's storm into the huts altogether.

Do you know that uncle's up there?

They already shot an officer.

I will not take a risk.

If you insists to go up there, you go alone.

Don't go. It's too dangerous.

Gentlemen, what is the situation here?

Sir, the gunman requests to see one of the officers

and sergeant major Lee is willing to go, sir

crazy bastards already shot one of the officers, I cannot allow it.

Don't know english? The chief thinks that it's too dangerous for you to go alone.

Tell him I know the gunman.

I'll be responsible for everything.

Translate it!

He says that he is willing to take his own risk.

Besides, he knows the gunman.

All right. You arrange the back off.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

Search him!

Put your hands behind your head.

Squat on the chair.

Quick!

Sergeant rock, long time no see.

I don't realize that you can in charge now!

What do you want?

Did you remember that you asked me for $50,000? Now, I want to have $500,000.

Ask them to leave here right now. And let us go!

That's impossible.

Impossible? Fine!

Let's see if it's possible if I put a bullet into him.

Don't be mad.

For uncle's sake, I'll help you escape.

Sit down and let's chat.

Ok! Don't try me.

If there's one word that disagree with me,

I'll shoot you both. So, what's your plan?

If you want money, they'll provide it.

But it's impossible for the police to let you go...

Then we'll all die together.

Let's be reasonable. Ok?

How about if I stick around here till nightfall

and let you sneak out before the searchlights arrive?

How about the money?

I will ask them to give you before you leave.

Don't come in!

What are you doing?

What?

Didn't you hear the gunshots? We must storm inside.

So what? Gunshot meant someone was shooting. The bullet doesn't have eyes!

Stay back!

Trying to fool me...

Don't come any closer, or I'll kick him out.

Try it! I will kill him!

Rock, go away!

Are you all right, uncle?

I'm fine...

Thank you for saving my life!

There are many ways even if you don't have a gun.

Go! You take credit for this.

No!

I'm already retired. It doesn't do me any good!

You still have your future.

It looks like it's finished.

Don't you think I don't know?

Alright, men, move it!

- Yes, sir. - Follow me!

It is much better if I go in first.

Sergeant rock, are you all right?

Asshole, you can't even make the grade as an outlaw!

You had the gun, how could you be overwhelmed?

Sergeant ngan, he's still alive.

Lock him up.

Come in and bring him to station.

Get him off.

Beat him! Beat him!

Dame!

Stop!

Take him out!

Hurry up with the stretcher.

I'm bleeding to death!

Just lay down, man.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

My poor ear... my poor ear...

Sergeant ngan...

Shut up! You probably set this up. You knew that he was a bastard.

Move!

Why bother?

I was trying to warn him about the damaged stretcher.

Are you all right?

You purposely threw me on the ground.

I'll report you and have you fired.

Sir, we are volunteers from St. John ambulance.

Take a walk yourself.

Hold me up!

Can anyone tell me why the assault has increased

so drastically in this past quarter?

Sir, it is so triad related.

They're fighting for territorial rights.

When the times are good, all wants to have a bit of action,

and it can't be avoided.

Can't be avoidable?

In sergeant chan's area alone, we had 3 incidents

which resolved into 4 murders and 27 injuries.

And you tell me that it can't be avoided.

Inspector chan, the crime rate in your area is too high.

Please take note.

Perhaps you should all learn a few tricks from sergeant Lee.

There hasn't had a spot of trouble in his area for three months.

Great! The commissioner commends you again.

The commissioner said sergeant Lee was well done in wipe out crimes

in his district for three months.

Everyone should learn from him and give him a hand.

Well done!

Sir, sergeant Lee's area is comparatively small and trouble free,

you can't compare it with sergeant chan's.

I'm not questioning sergeant Lee's abilities.

He said - I'm just saying

- your area was - In his position,

- self-governing. - Any of us here

- it had nothing to do with you! - Can do just as well.

Let's not quarrel!

Just make damn sure the press don't give a word of this.

Now, as you all know sergeant Christopher has been released from the hospital,

but he will heal ever be retiring.

Although he will be missed around here,

I'm sure there're those among you who'll be very happy to see him go.

Commissioner said that as sergeant major cliff would be retired soon,

his position of sergeant major of yaumatei will need a right person to replace.

There will be the internal promotion among the sergeants right here.

The criterion for promotion

will not only base on their performance of managing their district,

but also,

the well relationship between the other polices from different districts.

The right person will be announced in the next internal meeting.

We'll leave now.

You seems to have the great chance for the promotion.

Everyone here have an equal chance.

It depends on their luck.

Bye. Sir!

Sergeant ngan, you're in excellent spirits today!

Am I?

Of course!

Sergeant ngan is the most qualified person.

But you don't underestimate your juniors.

You might be bumped off before you know it.

Is that right, sergeant Lee?

It's kidding! Sergeant ngan is revered. He is an example to all of us.

If he's in charged at yaumatei, it will be a blessing.

I will support him wholeheartedly.

When I heard people said I was revered,

I could not help wondering if I was too old.

Of course it's natural that the youth replaces the aged.

But I just hope that when you move up,

you'll leave a little bit room for me to breathe.

So that I can still survive.

Don't say that! I'm just beginning to learn from you,

to see how you get ahead.

If you don't teach me some tricks, I can't win.

I'm afraid I'm a washout.

It's only a matter of time before you bound back.

We're all family.

Come and sit!

Brother ho!

Nice to meet you!

You're looking good.

Same with you.

Brother mal!

Brother mal!

Little brother ma!

Have a seat!

Hong Kong's prosperity is due to the opium war.

Where would Hong Kong be without opium war?

But Lee rock has closed down 80 dens for only 3 years after being sergeant.

So you can imagine what will be happened if he worked for 30 years.

If this goes on, he is no different to famous lin zexu.

Damn!

So if we allow him to be sergeant major of yaumatei,

we'll get nothing!

We're on the same boat.

If he can't support us, why not just leave us alone?

If all of you will support me,

I guarantee that your business can continue without any hindrance.

And then we can sit down to talk about how to develop it.

He's right. We've sold heroin for decades.

Are we supposed to switch to selling fishballs?

Lee's screwing everybody up. Right?

As businessmen, we should help each other. I support you.

Also I've arranged with kingcrab to open

the yaumatei typhoon-shelter for all.

We can handle all cargoes through there.

We don't need to travel through the piers at new territories in future.

Also, I can proud to say that nobody can handle the British officers.

Except me.

Sergeant ngan is right. I, kingcrab, also like to look at the overall picture.

If sergeant ngan can be the sergeant of yaumatei,

we don't need to afraid those British officers again.

Am I right?

So how about the typhoon-shelter? Who's in charge?

It's no problem. If you want to use my barges there,

it's fine with me. We can discuss it later.

We are on the same boat now.

To be fair, I suggest we support ngan to sergeant major of yaumatei financially,

the payment will be in proportional to the individual size of our dens.

Once he success to be in charge of yaumatei, we will have less trouble in future.

Do you agree, brother ma? How do you think?

Sorry, we have to go first.

Brother ma, don't you want to support me?

We only like to do big business.

We don't like to share the profits to others.

Who will get the first priority in using your piers? You or us?

Little brother ma, what do you mean?

We're sick of dealing with heroin.

We want to do legal business.

Legal business? What kind of legal business you can do?

Newspaper!

Publication, that is it.

Since when are you so cultured?

Selling toilet paper more likely.

There're 4 public toilets in yaumatei. You two can sell the toilet papers there.

Just go out if you don't support sergeant ngan too.

How much do you want us to contribute?

Brother ho!

When you're in charge of yaumatei district,

we can then sit down and talk.

Damn you. Who needs you after then?

Ah tak!

Close as many cases as you can.

I want to give a strong impression to those British officers.

Also ask those brothers to give us men to confess the crimes.

Sergeant ngan. What are you up to?

Within a week,

I want to be the detective with the highest crime busting rate in Hong Kong.

12 muggings and 8 car-thefts for this month.

8 car thefts?

Yes!

Hey, you.

Remember to be in court tomorrow, your men are muggers.

Yes, o.K.

Don't forget!

Also, 7 cases of burglary, and 2 more,

1 case of the fake medicine, 1 case of selling the stolen goods.

Is that all?

We'll let you know if there's more.

Do you have standbys?

Yes...

Brother tak, it is total of $5,200.

Make it $5,000.

It's the market price. You can ask elsewhere.

Count it.

I doubt that whether there are so many passionate lovers around.

If I'm sick, my husband will be very happy.

What did she say?

She said this is fake.

Men are only romantic to their mistresses.

She said if she was sick,

her husband would probably be ecstatic.

Do you agree?

I sympathize with her husband.

The healthiest women in this world are those wives who always henpeck.

If you want them to die, you have to wait forever.

The only way is to poison them.

How mean!

I'm not mean, but I'm wicked.

I will act better than she does.

I will go out for a moment.

Ngan certainly worked smart.

He already has contact with all the heroin dealers of yaumatei.

Brother rock, since he could do this,

maybe we should do the same with other dealers.

It's not necessary.

We don't have to fight fire with fire.

He couldn't wait to contact with the dealers.

What is he up to?

You imagines that once he becomes sergeant major

if he turns the typhoon-shelter into a haven for heroin trafficking?

What do you think?

Then heroin can then bypass the countryside

and go directly into the city...

Wow, yaumatei will become a veritable golden mine!

Ask some guys to follow ngan.

No matter what he does, who he see,

which hookers he prostitutes.

I want to know everything in detail.

Right away.

Mama, what's that word?

It's the Chinese character of "sword".

In 1980, the power of Lee rock could influence to everywhere.

He controlled all activities of the Hong Kong police force

and became the most powerful man in the colony.

His personal fortune was estimated to be at least over 500 million.

For my whole life, I'd only with one man.

Sorry, I'm married.

I can guess.

Congratulation, congratulation...

Let's cheer for sergeant ngan.

Stop, who ask you in?

I cannot live without him.

Any private dens,

movable dens and the relatives owned dens

must be closed.

If any dens are found to be related to some individual polices...

Commissioner's first priority is to destroy prostitute, gamble and drug.

Mr. Lee, I expect you

- to lead the blitz against these three evils. - He is directed against you.

Are you up to challenge?

Too bad, if you had a little justice in your heart,

Hong Kong will become a peace land.

Now is a happy land too.

Only it belongs to me.

It is a shit place, you made it like shit.

Go quickly!
