l'm Mr Hsi. Any message from 3833?

That lady has left

Thank you

Mr Lu, she has left

l didn't bring my daughter; she's sick

ls she under your mammy's care again?

Have you been busy lately?

No, my department is folding up while

Yours is busy catching dope pushers

Cheer up. Say something

Well, l do want to talk to you Say it

Are you emigrating with your mammy to Canada?

l haven't made up my mind yet

Once you have decided, please...

Go on

Sponsor me as your spouse

You know, a small cop has no future here

You mean to hold our divorce proceedings?

Would you give up your police job to be a waiter?

That man there's funny. He never finishes his soup

And he hasn't touched those dishes

l'm not the idle-talk type

Your group gas cracked some dope cases

Take care

Have you got any news?

Nothing

Come to see your daughter when you've time

l will

Don't you feel l've matured much?

l must leave

Miss, you've dropped your spoon

Thank you

What are you doing?

Mr. Hsi, a murder, Hill Wood Road Please inform Mr Lu

OK, we'll come right away

Mr Lu, it's done Let's start

Why are you so late?

Something happened to Lo Huan What?

Something happened to Lo Huan

Say that again

Lo Huan's killed

Senior Lady lnspector Anti-Narcotics Kin HQS

was shot by a mysterious killer

What's the killer's motive?

Senior Supt. Lu of Homicide will recount the circumstances

Don't look, this is only a duplicate

Why did you secretly push dope with Snake?

Where is Snake? l repatriated him to Thailand

Why?

This will be better for you

Call our Anti-Narcotics Section tomorrow morning

Let's get back that stuff and forget everything

Do you agree or not?

Why are you doing that?

All l want is a better life for us both

Why did she die so horribly?

What are you doing? Don't go in ClD

Don't be sad

The saddest thing is to see you together

After identification, take a statement

Right in the restaurant where lnsp. Lo was murdered

our reporter is still covering the news

According to police who didn't want to be identified

she did brilliantly at Anti-Narcotics Section

having seized large quantities of drugs

A professional killer hired by drug pushers could've done it

Tallie called saying Miss Pai is missing We can't find her till later

l've never seen a sharper marksman

Why such a mess?

l don't know

You were with her every night

You mean officially or privately?

Officially means our Section privately means me and her

She was recently investigating a group of dope pushers

Maybe she was bought

Don't be sad. Go back and take a rest

Don't be sad yourself

Don't play a hero to probe this

l'll investigate it at my leisure

Go and sign the Death Certificate first

Sorry, l'm late

How come? We were waiting for you to embark

Since the target is an inspector The price has to be different

Where's your assistant?

She went shopping. She'll return of the count is right

Well, let me go back to report first Wait here. Don't ever go away

l'll fix it, don't worry

Mr Lu, we didn't pick up Tallie's assistant

Why?

He said the price for a policeman is different

Would things be better if Tallie didn't talk?

Wonder what he has told his assistant?

Have them collect the money. Pay their price

Tallie? Speaking

l've talked with my superior. No problem

l'm having someone send you the amount you want

Well, have you find your assistant?

She will appear when the money's paid

Please disappear right after you get the money

Good. Wait at the phone booth. Money's coming

Not my fault

Not my fault

What's the press comment on this case?

The paper's on your desk. Head it

Tallie, how come?

We've already brought the money

Hsiang Ming

Hsiang Ming

A friend

The ringleader's a Homicide boss

l'll give up if needs be

Give up? He'll investigate it too

And he'd claim you killed yourself to evade conviction

Would she testify against Mr Lu?

She knows nothing

Theoretically she's guilty

She saved me once

Theoretically she's not linked if she goes away

Where's Mr Lu keeping the data?

Anything to prove he's linked?

Yes, l have an idea

What would you do?

Drug Squad Ling's wife writes to say

Ling fooled around on the mainland and in Taiwan

And he picked up a foreign girl in HK

She wants us to check if the girls are spies

Let's go and investigate then

Aren't we doing him an injustice? Right

You and Julia Nixon went to Hotel A on Feb. 12

to Hotel B on Feb. 15

and to Hotel C on Feb. 1 7

You have been with her every third day since Buy you didn't pay the expenses

You need medical advice for your strong sexual desire

Does this concern the Political Dep't?

lsn't it the affair of the Medical and Health Dep't?

lt's not our concern if Julia is a spy?

She's not a spy; she 's a nympho

She enjoys doing that

Can't a spy play a numpho?

She comes from a rich family

A spy could pose as a rich girl too

A spy of what country?

She's a Soviet spy

She wants to get info from you on drugs from the mainland

and to expose it to the world

She never asked me about drugs

A spy wouldn't do things that way, idiot

l'm no 007 ; l can't tell if she's a spy

HK will soon be China's and you bedding a Soviet

What do you expect me to do then?

Answer my questions honestly

We'll rewrite the report, so we'd be even

No Keep it in the record then

Don't act on impulse

Keep cool, Once on record, you're finished

Well, come on with your questions

That policewoman died a martyr

Why haven't you got any clue?

We raided Sai Kung on a tip-off

but Homicide was there making an arrest

They had it done. So we couldn't go on

What about your informer?

We got that bastard Snake Ming

He said someone wanted to dump that stuff

We beat him into telling us everything

but Madam wouldn't trust us She wanted to question him herself

Then Snake disappeared

Here's a complaint from your wife. Read it

That fat bitch?

l got them from the car. See if they're okay

Can l try them?

Your shoes?

They don't fit

What?

Let me do it if you can't

l've got everything sorted out

They're observing the 1st 7day; will be late

l'll count on you

Don't worry, l'm going

Give me your cigarette

l don't smoke

Damn, l can't find it

lmpossible, l must've got it

Where could it be?

How's it going up there?

Fatty Wai Who's speaking?

Who's talking?

Cut it off right away

Lu's coming, Johnny

The back door dog doesn't bark

The political Dep't complained we went too far

on the Hsiang Ming case

l've heard about it

We've moved too slowly then

Let him get to the Triangle. We'll fix him there

Once he's gone, who's going to accuse us?

Let's sell it to local pushers while it's in short supply

No, we must answer to our USA friends

Have you had your palm read lately?

What do you mean?

Speak up

Where are they? Answer me

Johnny Run quick

Johnny was flung out of the window when he came to the Lu's to get evidence

What?

He told him of this address before his death

He didn't mean to. Understand?

Get out of Hong Kong right away

All the police in HK have got a tip-off

They'll shoot you on sight

Most of them are criminals

The proprietor?

We have our rules. This is my business

Go to bed

We'll sail for Waglan, then to Thailand

All roads lead to our Village in Thailand

Nothing matters as long as we survive

You're all smiles now

The thought of home delights me

Never thought l'd emigrate to Golden there

You can study Chinese there

Let me hold her

Sister, get up and play with me

Get up and play with me

Lin, l'm going out. Don't go away

Lin's missing

Watch out Go through the back door

Drop your gun or l'll shoot

Come on, drop it

After him

We'd better go into hiding

Where's Lin? She's asleep

Lin's wet all over. Got any cloth?

Have you got any money?

Not too much

Give it to me

With it, l'll kill for you

Let's go and get Lu Chin before he comes to us

My hands are gone, gone What's wrong? Come and sit down

What's wrong? Come and sit down

Great shot. Right between my eyes

Where's your gun? Show me

Mr Lu, where's your gun? Show them

Don't shoot

lt hurts

Quiet, or l'll blow your throat up

Don't shoot Quiet

Stop that Quiet

Stop that

Mr Lu, give them their share

Mr Lu, give Hao's share to them too

No, that's unreasonable

lt's two against four

Split the money into 6 parts

l want no money

Life would be cheap if you've no money and no hands

Take back your share

Lu, what do you say?

We've been in this section for years

When others make money we worked at the morgue

Frankly, l don't mind, l'm a salaried worker

We can't accept bribes

Now there's the 1997 question again

No such a question when everyone was making money

Now, l'm promoted and the question arises

Everybody's emigrating. What about me?

You killed my wife for this?

She threatened my plan, l had no choice

l was sadder when she died

Because she loved me, not you. Understand?

lsn't it sad to see one's lover die?

Hsi, tell me

Have l shed tears? Have l?

Yes Have l, Hsi?

Yes

Who sees your daughter oftener, you or me?

l also have a son waiting for me in USA

Now you can't get away

Split the money Money counts for much

l mean it

You'd do anything for money

Split it. Take my advice and split it

OK, to show my sincerity l'll maim my left hand

Come on, shoot my hand

Shoot at my hand

Don't

Come on

A cripple's better than a dead man. Come on

Come on, don't cry

Come on

Shoot him

Don't shot Kill me

l carry 2 guns daily. You wouldn't dream of it

Kill me

l've always been really to die

Kill me if you got the nerve

Now you know how it feels to get hit!

The more bleeding, the colder you feel

Your teeth'll clatter; your limbs numb

You'll be thirsty as death nears

but you can drink nothing but your blood

lf you escape death, you'd be able to really smile

My blood, my blood

Pretend l'm your family doctor. You can pay me with ''thanks''.

The embalming fluid

won't last for long.

Bury her soon.

l'm glad l can be of help.

lf you ever have a baby, l can make the delivery.

Thanks, doctor.

Thanks.

Hsiang Ming and Ah Chui were arrested before reaching international waters.
