"OVERHEARD 2"

We've invited Mr Manson Law

from Man Sang Securities

to give us an analysis. Good morning, Mr Law.

Good morning, Karen.

The Dow was consistently

stagnant last week.

Will the HK market be dragged down?

The HSI has be on the rise
for 5 days straight.

It's a matter of time

before it breaks the historical high

of 32,000 points in 2007.

There's been a continual influx of funds
from Latin America, Europe,

the US and Middle East
into the HK and China markets.

The China market
is simply reacting correspondingly.

That's why the market
has continued to rise in recent years.

It's actually not that speculative.

There's no sign that it will drop soon.

Your recommended stock,
China Industry, has rocketed.

Some callers wonder if it's time to sell.

The current share price is $21.

It's likely to surpass
the historical high of $26.

Unless they're broke,

I recommend to hold for now.

Do you have any shares of that stock?

No, I don't.

Thanks, Mr Law.

Thanks for watching "Market News."

We'll be right back.

You know how many
hundreds of millions are needed

to push China Industry to $26?
You going to foot the bill?

Those bosses gave the order last night.

They want to boost the price to $26.5.

The cash is in my account.
I'll transfer it to you tomorrow.

These old fogeys are so greedy.

The placement price last year
was only $10 per share.

They are overstretching their profit margin.

Without stretching their profit margin,
these airheads

would have to live on social security.

I'll have 5 firms
sell their shares this afternoon.

Bob will be on it.

How much are you guys selling?

The volume was around 20 million yesterday.

Those bosses will be selling 10 million today.

Sell 5 million first. Keep a low profile.

By the way, Manson, Tony is looking for you.

Tony? That asshole has vanished for two years.

Could there be something wrong?

No way!

We trade as much as
Monetary Authority every day.

OK, cut the crap.

Manson, get your phone and wait in your car.

Hello?

Manson, why didn't you answer Tony's call?

I was driving and there's a traffic cop.
It wasn't convenient.

Pull over somewhere.
Tony will call you in five minutes.

OK. Sorry, Uncle Jim.

Hello? Manson?

Yes.

Boss...

Boss...

we found a bug in the car.

An advanced military model.

Busy?

I'm filing auto insurance claims for you.

I'm not dead.
I don't think you can claim much.

If you're dead,
I'd be filing inheritance claims.

I'd rather you claim your inheritance

than see you like that.

OK, let me claim my inheritance then.

Let me turn the life support off... What?

Someone's coming. Stop fooling around.

Come in.

Who are you? What's the matter?

What's going on?

Boss, we found nothing.

Thanks.

Hi, Mr Law. I'm Jack Ho
from the Security Bureau.

Security Bureau?

It's the Political Bureau before 1997.

And this is?

My wife.

Here's my name card.

I'm Mr Law's attorney.

Miss Kwok. Hello.

Inspector, your job is counter-terrorism.

You even need to deal
with traffic accidents now?

We found a bug in Mr Law's vehicle.

A bug?

An advanced military model.

We suspect it's related
to terrorist activities.

Inspector Ho, this must be a mistake.

We hope so, too.

Mr Law, would you mind

if I ask you a few questions?

I'll be recording. Is it all right?

Sure, I'll record it too. No problem.

Mr Law,
where were you driving to this morning?

I was off to see a client.

Which client?

You don't have to answer.

It's past 10. The market has opened.

You were not in the office

but you went out instead. Why?

I don't have to answer this.

Sure.

When you were on the wheel this morning,

did you notice anyone following you?

No.

The bug we found in the car

is very small.

But it can only cover
an area of 800 to 1000 meters.

Mr Law...

Are you sure you were not being

followed this morning?

I'm positive.

We also found a satellite phone in your car.

Were you on the phone
when the accident took place?

No.

Who do you usually call

with this satellite phone?

Inspector, you should know
what trade secrets are.

We checked the battery in the bug.

It has been used for more than a month.

I believe many of your secrets
have been eavesdropped.

I know the financial world
is filled with secrets.

In 2008, your firm owed the bank
more than $70 million.

It was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Though the market crashed,
you earned hundreds of millions.

Two months later,

you became the broker
of five of HK's richest men.

I'm sure many people want to know

the secret behind it.

Inspector.

What are you driving at?

Nothing.

We're only interested in

the eavesdropper.

As far as your secrets are concerned,

the Commercial Crime Bureau
should be more interested.

Please rest assured,

we've always been an independent unit.

As long as you can help us find that man,

I can guarantee that you'll be OK.

Mr Law.

Would you like to cooperate with us?

Watch out, officer!

Millions of dollars are traded
through that phone every day.

Oh no... I've made millions from this desk.

Be careful, please.

Every image on that TV
is worth thousands of dollars.

Look!

That just cost us hundreds of millions.

Who's paying us back?

I had a very important phone call
this morning.

I was being followed.

That's all I can say.

I talked to some of my colleagues.

Jack Ho has been
with the Security Bureau since 1998.

Nobody knows what he has done

or what cases he has cracked.

We only know his wife worked

at Barrister Li's office.

His wife is also a lawyer?

Yes.

But she lost so much on her many stocks
and futures in 2008

that she used her clients' money
to pay for her debts.

In the end, she was sent to jail.

According to Barrister Li,

it was her husband who arrested her.

He could have been promoted,

but because of this,

he remains a small captain in his team.

I'm thinking...

if they catch the eavesdropper

and get enough evidence,

they won't let you be.

What can he find?

I haven't used that satellite phone
for months.

Our office installed
anti-bugging devices last year.

I never bring my cell phone
when meeting my clients.

I don't talk business at home.
What can they find?

That Ferrari...

I've only driven it twice this month.

I tell you what, we can leave.

We can go away.

Mr Law, may I?

Sure.

Thank you.

Hoyt and Fanny...

Diamond House, Queen's Road Central...

5/F. Go check it out.

Boss, we're at the scene.

Block front and back doors.
Wait for me before going up.

Yes, Boss... Fanny.

Are you OK, Hoyt? Go!

Let me through!

What happened? You all right?

What is it? Boss...

Chinese man schlepping a black suitcase.
Black jacket...

Stay with him.

Yes.

Check over there. Yes, sir.

Officer down. Call an ambulance
to Diamond House, Central.

Inform officers on the beat to watch out
for a Chinese man

in a black jacket,
schlepping a black suitcase.

Is that clear?

A Chinese man in a black jacket
schlepping a black suitcase

was stopped on

Lei Yuen Street East.

We found nothing suspicious.

Keep looking.

Stay by the bin. Yes, sir.

The suspect can hear us. Change the channel.

Boss...

Boss, are you all right?

Don't touch me!

Set up a road block in this area.
Check every single vehicle.

Joe, you're off early today.

That's right, Uncle Ho.

It's good to be off early.

"Ironside" is on TV tonight.

Honey...

Ho's Alzheimer's is getting worse.

Alain Delon's "Le Samourai" is on

Jade Channel tonight.

Yes, they're showing "Le Samourai" tonight.

Don't you like it?

Want some soup? There you go.

Mom, it's "Le Samourai."

Son, have you found Tony yet?

Not yet.

Hurry up.

My Alzheimer's is getting worse.

Mom, you'll get better.

No, I won't.

Heaven created me to take care of your dad.

Now that your dad is gone,

I'm like a piece of trash.

It makes sense for Heaven
to take my brain away.

I'm afraid I can't hold on till that day.

I can't forget what I'm doing.

Before that day,

you must keep on reminding me.

Don't let me forget things.

It won't be long.

The cops are on it. He can't hide any longer.

It's great that Alain Delon's here.

Honey, do you remember?

The first time you took me out,

it was to see the French film "Le Samourai."

Alain Delon...

Upper circle in Palace Theater.
Seats A12 and A13.

We were watching the film

when you suddenly whispered to my ear,

saying that you would take care of me forever.

I was shocked.

It's great that
you remember these good things.

I remember all the good things.

It happened to be the market crash
when Joe was born.

You stayed home with me the whole year.

Apparently I once said this child was

Monkey King reincarnated,
who wreaked havoc everywhere.

Oh yes, you did.

You also said

if Monkey King had not have wreaked havoc,

everyone in HK would have thought
he's the Jade Emperor.

Even you thought you were the Buddha himself.

Do you think your son has not been nice to me?

He just wants to be like you.

You once said,

if you had been him,

you would have behaved the same way.

Yes...

Why haven't I told him earlier?

That car is for the elderly.

Don't misuse it in future!
Let alone having me as the chauffeur.

Sorry, Mr Principal.

I don't know what you're up to
and I don't want to know.

At any rate, be careful.

You're not Alain Delon.

Boss,

we found a waterproof case in the aircon slot.

We suspect it's used
for installing bugging devices.

We've examined the 3 flares in Central.

They're commonly used by the US army.

SDU has seen
the clip of the suspect attacking you.

They're sure he's a serviceman.

We're working with Immigration

to get a list of military personnel
who entered HK this year.

Any information on this apartment?

The tenant is Kim So.

His ID copy is attached to the lease.

We checked with Immigration.
The photo is a fake.

Other information on the ID is real.

Kim So emigrated to Canada in 1996.

He was back to renew his ID in 2009

and never came back.

Recover the photo with reference to my clip.

Issue a warrant.

Contact Kim So.

Send someone to talk to him if necessary.

We called but couldn't find him.

Interpol is following up.

How about Law's vehicle?

Maintenance is done at the auto dealer.

He went to the Maldives a month ago.

The bug must have been planted
during that time.

And the satellite phone?

The US service provider refused

to give us any information.

Security Bureau is negotiating with it.

It will take at least one week.

Anything more?

The car...the flares...the ID card...

Wanna take a couple of days off?

I'm off tomorrow. Sis is getting out of jail.

I remember.

Are you going to meet her?

Sure, I'll go with you.

Boss, Law is getting off.

Follow him.

Manson, why were you so careless?

Let me see. You're still in one piece.

Ferrari should invite you
to be their spokesperson.

I told you before Chinese New Year
this year's bad for you.

You didn't believe me
and said I was superstitious.

OK, I'll find a master
to take a look at your home.

Are you all right?

You have brain damage?
Why didn't you say a word?

Looks more like tongue damage.

You can be excused.

Thank you, Mr. Chan.

My car was bugged, so was my office.

Shit! How stupid can you be?

Let him finish.

The cops found it,
said it'd been there for more than a month.

What? More than a month?

Shit! We're screwed in our old age.

What are you so nervous about?

The cops found it.
That means they didn't do it.

It could have been the wiseguys.

What if it's neither the cops

nor the wiseguys, but ICAC?

Then we're all doomed!

We're not in the 70's.

ICAC works with the cops now.

If ICAC is involved,
the cops wouldn't have intruded.

It has to be the wiseguys.

The wiseguys only want money.

Who's been watching our trading
for the last few months?

We better inform Tony.

You didn't answer his call this morning.
Tony will call soon.

Hello... Tony, he's here.

Tony, he was tailed,

his phone was bugged.

Hello, Uncle Tony.

I saw the license plate number.

Yes, it's HG8473.

Yes, I understand. OK.

Uncle Jim.

Hello.

Yes...

I'll send someone to check your office.
Wait for my call.

Caine.

Jim and the others are in trouble in HK.

OK, I'll phone someone in HK to help them.

Mr Chan, you're leaving so early today.

You're back.

Still awake?

Tomorrow, I need to sign a document
at the police station.

I might as well make a stop
at the Traffic Department.

Now... they want to charge you
for reckless driving.

They'll at most revoke your driver's license.

So?

Have you thought about leaving town?

Doesn't matter...

If you haven't, just take your time.

I'm such a lucky man.

I'm married to such a good wife

and am leading such a great life.

But I don't know how long it will last.

Good luck doesn't happen by chance.

Didn't you say that all the time?

Good luck won't knock at your door.

You have to look for it, or it will slip away.

Fred, your family founded Nixon Electronics

20 years ago with a welding device,

a circuit board and an electric wire.

Now those Americans want a hostile takeover.

You'll lose everything.

Believe me, Fred.

Americans are no good. They're broke.

Borrow $50 million from the bank.

With $50 million,
I can guarantee that those Yanks

will go back home stark naked.

I got nothing else to mortgage.

It's risen to $3.5.
Another 50,000 shares are gone.

Look, only 10 million shares are left.

If they make a general offer,

you'll be left with nothing.

You own the land of your factory
in the south, right?

Why don't you call a loan shark right away?

What?

The phone.

It's almost over. What's the use of a phone?

Uncle Tony.

You're here? Come over.

This is my sworn brother, Szema.

Say hi to Uncle Szema.

Uncle Szema, I'm Manson.

How can I help you all?

Join us for a game of cards.

You know how to play "Fight the Landlord"?

They've been playing cards here
for more than 30 years.

At first, several ace stockbrokers

would sometimes have dinner,
chat or play mahjong here.

Since the Crash in 1973,

they've block-booked this room.

They would meet here every week.

I haven't seen a new member

since 1997.

During the financial tsunami 7 years ago,

Chauncey Szema

was busted for insider trading.

The Club expelled him.

Then Manson Law started coming here.

He probably got his membership through Szema.

Uncle Chauncey,
this is the $420,000 I lost at the table.

Keep it.

I know you tried to help
Nixon fight against a takeover

and have lost a lot of money.

The old men in the Club told me

they had earned a lot together
during the Crash in 1973.

During the Crash in 1973,

foreigners scrambled
for money in the stock market.

Many Chinese firms

were on the verge of bankruptcy.

Several ace brokers joined forces,

backed by

some of the wealthiest local clients.

We were young and impetuous,
and we joined forces

to fight against those foreigners.

In the end, we rescued many Chinese firms.

Since it's profitable,
they continued their cooperation.

According to some stock market upstarts
who come here,

whenever these people
want any share price to rise,

it will rise even if
it's the end of the world.

Do you know how outsiders call us?

The "Landlord Club."

It smacks of the Triads.

After 1997,

we indeed became
the bandits in the financial field.

Cunning and aggressive,
we have to win all the time.

On the surface, we're defending HK's economy.

But in fact, it's sheer greed.

For the last decade,
I've done a lot of bad things.

It's payback time.

How can I help you?

It's all buy orders
from Chauncey Szema this morning,

except for a sell
order of 100,000 shares of Nixon.

The market is rebounding
and he's selling our stock.

Since you play cards with us, you're family.

How can the foreigners beat you?

Sell all Nixon shares.

All? What about the bank loan?

I said sell all of them. Do you hear me?

Uncle Szema, you have to accept this check.

OK, I'll take it.

When I need to cash it,

I'll come to you in person.

Lehman Brothers
went bankrupt a few days later.

A few months later,
the HSI dropped to 10676 points.

Nixon dropped to $1 per share.

You helped Fred buy back all his shares.

Then you became

those billionaires' official broker.

You braved such a storm.

There's nothing worse to fear.

I've learnt a lot over the last few years.

In the past,
when I had nothing, I still had chance.

Now...

a person with nothing
does not even have chance.

Once good luck has slipped away,
it will never return.

Boss.

Hey!

We need the staff data of the club this year.

Are you out of your mind?

I'm putting my job
at risk letting you in today.

If I hadn't been your boss before...

Precisely because you were my boss,

do you want to call the police yourself,

or do you want me to talk to your boss?

How is it over there?

How else? I don't even dare to fart.

One in the front of the car
and one at the back.

There's even one in my maid's bathroom.

Boss,
it's Jim Chan's office across the street.

PTU found this rooftop after a blanket search.

They found this case,

same as that in Diamond House.

The bugging devices inside have been removed.

No fingerprints are found at the scene.

He made a fake ID of a Shaw Leung

and rented a unit downstairs.
The man in the ID photo

is the same as the Diamond House tenant

and the Club plumber.

All cardholders of the 3 IDs have emigrated

and cannot be contacted for the moment.

Boss.

The two IDs were issued on the same day.

Find out which center issued them.

Hoyt and I have to run some errands.

Let me.

Hoyt is on leave today.
He'll keep you company.

I need to go now.

Today...

When they returned the ring to me,

I put it on by reflex.

As it turns out, I really love you.

Every time you visited me in jail,
I'd believe...

I'd believe we could start over

when I came out.

But now that I'm back,
when I look around here,

I can't help remembering

that day... I asked you to leave with me.
You refused.

Then you...

Iocked me up so the cops could come nab me.

I'm so stupid...

How can we ever start over?

I'm even more stupid.

I never brought this up all these years,

Iest you think of it.

But does it help?

When I saw the police cars at the station,

I couldn't help...

If you hadn't been a cop,

wouldn't we have been better off?

Precisely because I was a cop,

I knew we couldn't have gone anywhere.

If we had left that day,
we could be worse now.

So what's so good about now?

Now I'm like these clothes and jewelry:

passe and useless. What do you think

I can do now?

I think we should consider...

a separation.

OK.

This place is yours.
I'll move out in a couple of days.

Boss.

The officer who follows Law said

he got a parcel.

You... want to check it out?

Sure.

You have a voice message.

You know how many
hundreds of millions are needed

to push China Industry to $26?
You going to foot the bill?

Those bosses gave the order last night.

They want the share price to go up to $26.5.

The cash is in my account.
I'll transfer it to you tomorrow.

These old fogeys are so greedy.

The placement price last year
was only $10 per share.

They are overstretching their profit margin.

Hello.

I need your help.

Who are you?

I have more recordings like that,
some with visuals.

If the cops or ICAC get them,
you'll be in deep shit.

If you don't want to go to jail,
you better listen to me.

What do I have to do?

Bring your cell phone with you. I'll call you.

It's getting cold. Better shut the windows.

You'll be busy. Don't catch a cold.

Stop! Danger! Stop!

Give me your hand.

Hold Tight!

Thank you.

This is Jack Ho of Security Bureau,
number 97142.

I need an ambulance

to the old dolomite plant on Sai Sha Road.

Yes, Sai Sha Road.

Hands up. Turn around.

You have guts.

Assaulting a cop,
detonating explosives in downtown,

and now holding a cop at gunpoint.

What's wrong with you?

Car keys!

You're holding a Glock 17, not 19.

Were you a soldier?

Where? France?

Morocco? UK?
Or were you an intelligence officer?

Are your chasers from Landlord Club?

You have any grudges with them?

Or are you a commercial spy?

So you know about Landlord Club.
What are you waiting for?

I work for the Security Bureau.

Commercial crimes are not my turf.

Not your turf?

Criminals are not your turf?

The cops can't do much. You understand?

The Club is tied to Middle Eastern

and Chechen funds.

Is this your turf or not?

How are you related to those funds?

Go find out yourself.

Hey!

You want my help, so come clean to me.

You'll find out more in a couple of days.

What's going to happen in a couple of days?

Are you going to blow up the Stock Exchange?

Sure, you can help me throw the bomb.

I'm afraid you'd be arrested by then.

I've been curious

how the cop
who eventually busts me will look like.

You're not bad.

But don't let me see you when you bust me.

Hey, what do you mean? Hey!

Get out of my way.

Get out of my way.

Looking for me?

Sell all my stocks.

Why? Is the market going to crash?

The market is fine. I just need cash.

Ask another firm to do that.
Keep your lips sealed.

OK.

Hello.

There's a game tomorrow night. Don't be late.

OK.

How's that?
The fingerprints and blood samples were...

The report should be out soon.

Boss.

The security found your car parked
at the gate of the building.

He called you at home
but no one answered the phone.

He saw blood inside the car
and called the police.

She said she'd sell the apartment
and never come back.

Did she say where she's going?

She said she'd stay at
some hotel in the meantime.

You don't have to blame yourself.

Before she left,
she said she'd go to a trading firm

to get back what she'd lost over these years.

I grew up with her.

Old habits die hard.

Hoyt, are you still on leave today?

No, sir.

Check this plastic tag for me.

Yes, sir.

Thank you. This way, please.

Mr Law.

I'm very busy, Inspector Ho.

Can you come back after the market closes?

Mr Law...

I saw the eavesdropper.

Would you take a look

and tell me if you know this guy?

No, I don't.

Mr Law.

How much? $35.

35...

Jenny!

Jenny!

Let me pay for you.

There you go.

Keep the change. Thank you, Mr Law.

I owe you $100.

Forget it.

Inspector Ho...

How can I help you? I'm very busy today.

The HSI is about to go over 32000 points.

Over! Over! Over!

I'd like to ask you

what Landlord Club does?

Hello? Jenny, where have you been?

Get me an A3 contract.

"9997": buy 100,000 at $3.5.

Hey.

"4499": buy 1 million at $0.75.

"7378": buy 100,000 at $11.

Yes.

"9997": sell 200,000 at $4.

"13745": buy 1 million at $2.4.

"4499": buy another 1 million at $0.85...

Sign here.

Hello, "4499": sell 1 million at $1.

I don't buy stocks.
Why're you opening an account for me?

The minimum fee for opening
an account here is $500,000.

But I'm only charging you $100.

I just traded specifically for you.

Your account just earned $3,476.

What are you doing? Bribing me?

You just asked me what I did.

I trade stocks.

That's what "money makes money" means.

I'm a black sheep who uses $1 to trade as $10.

But does it ever cross you mind that

without us black sheep

to raise funds for firms
and find money for MPF,

would you be able to go on line?

to take the subway?
to get medication when you're ill?

to fill your stomach after retirement?

No, you'd be starving!

Mr Law.

you don't need to brag about
your contribution to society.

I'm not bragging. I'm taking it out on you.

Just take it easy.

Landlord Club is powerful.

It has already sent people to deal
with the eavesdropper.

You guys are rich and powerful.
You can kill him.

Kill whom?

He's stepping on your tails.

Kill him and get rid of the problem.
No big deal.

He said the Club was tied

to Middle Eastern and Chechen funds.

There are lots of money exchanges among them.

Just a human life.
You guys handle big businesses.

This is just interests for you.

What are you bullshitting about?

You really don't know
what kind of shit you're in?

But you should know
who's running Landlord Club.

I want to talk to him.
You can definitely help me.

Hello? Please wait.

Inspector Ho, are you done? I'm really busy.

I'm done.

Thank you for your time.

Hello?

Did Tony call you?

Not yet.

Ignore that cop.

As long as you follow my order,
I won't give him the evidence.

Fanny, find out who he's talking to.

Boss, I can't.

Law's using a new phone.

Without a number I can't trace anything.

Tony will call you very soon.
When you see him,

use this phone to record his conversation.

Don't worry...

The phone is fixed.

No one will know you're recording.

Don't bring your own phone.
The cops can trace that.

He's using HK Communications. Check with them.

How about the others?

We're tracing all of them.

Boss, we've checked the 3 ID cards.

They were all issued on the same day

and by the same center.

All 3 cardholders entered HK on the same day

one month before the issue date.

Our investigation shows
no direct relationship among them.

We still don't know why they were together.

Boss, Law is off work.

The target vehicle is very fast.
We might lose it.

Don't worry.

GPS is following two of his phones.

Where's he?

He just crossed the Western Tunnel.

Where's he headed?

He's on the bridge going towards Tsuen Wan.

Tsuen Wan?
Isn't he meeting Jim Chan in Central?

Watch him closely. I'm on my way.

Your stocks...

I sold half of them.

I turned them into
traveller's checks of US$100,000

And...

several promissory notes
under your wife's name.

The rest I've deposited
into your Swiss bank account.

Are you really leaving?

Tinker.

This check's for you.

Sorry, that's all I can give you for now.

Cops are watching outside. You go first.

Target sighted.

Old location. Target just started his car.

Target on Tsuen Wan Highway
towards the New Territories.

Stop it! Stop it!

What's going on?

Just do your thing, stop pointing.

Driver's license, please.

My uncle is a judge! I'll kick your ass.

Please cooperate.

Tony's back.

We will go sailing tonight.
They're on your yacht.

This is Caine.
His men will escort your wife home.

Don't worry. Go on board.

Tony.

Ma! Jim! Tony.

Lam. Tony.

Let's go to the dining room.
Cell phones are useless here.

Caine knows we could be bugged,

so he's set up some anti-bugging devices here.

Even my phone is not working.

It will only work again when we're 1km away.

Why are you all standing there?

Come sit down!

Fortunately,
there's only my family around here.

Otherwise,

it's not nice to disturb the neighbors.

Tony, you just came back from Macau?

No, I went to TST East
for food right after I landed

and saw a shop selling these buns.

So I grabbed a bunch

to share with everybody.

These are egg rolls... These are peanut candies.

They are all our old favorites. Come dive in.

Serve them tea!

HK is such a good place.

You can find everything here.

Just go to any tiny mall

and you can buy whatever you want.

It's also easy to hook up with friends.

If it's not because of some major incidents,

who would want to leave?

Caine found out that

the eavesdropper was actually

Szema's son, Joe.

The kids outside

are all calling us "Landlord Club."

They even say
we're involved in insider trading.

Who's the biggest insider trader

during the financial tsunami?

The US government.

How comes nobody
wanted to arrest the US president?

In 2007,

Fu's bank lost a lot money
on subprime mortgages.

To help their money flow,
we raised the share price for them.

In the end, ICAC determined to make arrest.

Jim, you remember?

In 1973,

when we were fighting
against the foreigners, we agreed

if anything went wrong,
the eldest would take the brunt.

The eldest among us

would take all the blame.

Szema was the eldest then.

He shouldered everything
without complaint. A true brother.

But his wife and son put the blame on me.

I was elected to be the leader here.

It's not fair to

put the blame on me.

All your cell phones are of the same brand?

Hand over.

I bet...

Joe must have told you

he's after me only,

and that it's OK to betray me.

I can't believe you all listen to him

and follow his orders.

I'm really disappointed.

What's important now is for us to be united.

Caine will take care of everything else.

He's experienced. We'll be OK.

But there's always a "what if"...

What if something really goes wrong, I believe

we should, as we agreed,

have the eldest take the brunt.

Sherwin, you're born in the Year of the Rat.

My birthday is in December.

Then I'm 2 months older. I'm the eldest here.

I would have to take the brunt.

But does it ever occur to you that

since we've been partners for so long,

and you're always on

the frontline these years,

if I go down,

you won't be able to escape either?

Boss, the same number
is written behind every battery.

Should we call this number?

Joe, it's Uncle Tony. Still mad at me?

I wouldn't dare.

I'm broke these days.
Just want to get some money from you.

How much?

50 million shares of "749."

"749"? Its price is only 5 cents.

50 million shares

would be $20 million. Is that enough for you?

Fairness was my dad's motto.

Forget about the business you took from my dad

after he died.

But he used his own money

to buy 50 million shares of "749."

It's only fair for you to pay that back to me.

When do you want them?

How to deliver?

Deposit them to Man Sang Securities
by close of market tomorrow.

I'll let you know
the account details in due time.

Once the shares are deposited,
you'll receive what you want.

You're not playing me?

Do you have a choice?

50 million shares of "749"...

Ma, who's controlling "749"?

Two long-term private funds.

This is a dead stock.

Only about 100,000 shares
were traded last year.

Stock Exchange
has been watching it for a while.

Jim...

Get some shares from these two funds.

Lam...

Tell the board of "749" that
I want to buy their shares.

Once you get the shares,

transfer them to Manson's firm.

Manson... Yes.

Stay at the office tomorrow
to sweep this stock. Yes.

Understood? Yes.

Go. Go now.

See you! Bye, Tony...

Manson...

You stay here.

So?

Did you trace the call?

It will cost a bit more.

OK.

You must find him.

Manson. Yes.

Come here...

Tell me...

Can I still trust you?

I'm sorry, Uncle Tony, but I'm really scared.

I'm not asking you if you're scared.

I'm asking you if I can still trust you.

You can.

You were brought in by Szema. Now Szema's son

is against us. Why should I still trust you?

After my late snack with Uncle Szema,

he went to jail.

I never saw him again.

I ask you, why should I trust you?

I don't want to go to jail.

I'm glad you understand.

Nobody wants to go to jail.

Manson...

I always think highly of you.

Well...

The others have gone gaga. They are useless.

I'm thinking of moving
the Middle Eastern and Chechen

funds to your company.

From then on,

Landlord Club will be under your control.
How about that?

Goodbye, Uncle Tony.

Your friend? Were you with him tonight?

Inspector Ho, what do you want this time?

I don't want anything.
Dealing with big shots like you,

what the police can do is very limited.

Actually,
I don't need to send people to follow you.

You can't flee anyway.

I talked to your wife. She seemed scared.

Keep her company.

Goodnight.

Thank you.

Boss, Hoyt.

Emily.

Emily.

Don't worry. I'm fine.

Don't scream.

The cops are outside.
If they catch me, you're doomed.

Doomed?

Aren't I doomed already?

If you want money, just ask me.

No need to scare us like that.

If your words don't count,

then my dad was wrong about you.

Then both my dad and I deserve to die.

I'll shoot myself

and tomorrow,
the recording of your insider trading

will be broadcast around the world.

When I need to cash it,

I'll come to you in person.

Mr Principal, how are you? Fine.

Jack Ho, Security Bureau.

Inspector Ho, please take a seat.

Thank you.

I have a question for you

regarding this plastic tag.

Our nursing home

is specialized
in caring for Alzheimer's patients.

There's a GPS chip inside the plastic tag.

If the patients get lost,

we can quickly locate them.

But the chip inside this plastic tag is gone.

What does that number stand for?

"G41" is Mrs Szema's bed.

This is Mrs Szema

started staying here in 2010.

Her son is Joe Szema. All these years,

he's always here to keep his mother company.

I want to talk to her.

Inspector...

You don't have a search warrant.
We've talked a lot.

I've done my part already.

It's very late. The patients need to rest.

Can we talk about Joe Szema?

Of course.

But not now. Tomorrow.

Mr Principal.

Did Joe Szema ask you to say that?

Let's talk tomorrow.

We have lots to do today. In my room, now.

I need 50 million "749"
before close of market today.

Hello?

There's a sack at the leg of the bed. Open it.

Open it!

Speak!

My jail number is 89307.

Is that correct?

Don't harm her.

If you listen to me, I won't harm her.

The market has started.

"749":
place 5 orders of 1 million each at 50 cents.

Boss, what's wrong?

Something happened to your sister.

What's happening? Not a single sell order.

"749": 10,000 at 60 cents.

"749": $1.

749: $1.

There are 10,000 shares.

Take it. Take it.

Change all orders to $1.5.

I need 20,000 more. Got it.

There's $1.6/$1.7.

Take it. All of it. All of it.

Good morning, Tony.

Good morning.

How much did you get?

5000 at $1.8. Take it.

Take every order below $2.

I couldn't find any of the directors of "749."

The managers of
the two private funds have vanished.

No one picked up the phone the whole day.

All sell orders this morning are
from small shareholders.

No big shareholders at all.

Shit. It's risen to $2 already. Tony, look.

Mr Law, how about $2.7?

Mr Law, it's already $2.8.
Don't ask me anymore.

As long as it's "749,"
be it 1,000 or 10 million shares.

I'll take every order under $3.

It's $3 already.

Take it... Take every order, big or small.

Yes, every order at $3.

Looks like that bastard has all the shares.

That son of a bitch is treating us
like an ATM machine.

If this goes on,
50 million shares will be over $100 million.

Let's suppress the price.

Do you have shares?

He's controlling the price
as he has the most shares.

Good...

We've earned a lot over these years.

Let's consider this buying peace of mind.

We're just giving a nephew a big present.

Looks like it will go to $4.

If he's bent on it, it might go much higher.

Don't worry. Caine will find him.

I don't care how.

I need those shares by end of market.

A big order. 500,000 at $4.

Take it.

Take every order at $4.

Tony, there's a big sell order.

Ask other firms

who placed that order.

Hey man, nobody has "749" share in the market.

But you do and someone's sweeping them.

You're lucky!

Look, two points higher again.

Hey, check whether the "payable" is correct.

Where's Five Treasures Securities?

Turn right, go downstairs

and it's right across the street.

Thanks.

Hoyt...

Find out who's in charge of

Cheung On Fund.

We got something from the nursing home.

The original holders of those fake IDs,

Shaw Leung, Derek Kwan and Kim So

are all the directors of the fund.

That's the fund for Cheung On Nursing Home.

Stop anyone from
the nursing home from leaving.

Use whatever means you can

to force the principal to reveal
Joe Szema's whereabouts.

What am I doing?
I'm helping him manipulate the market.

Tinker.

Look.

3 million shares at $5. Take?

All of them.

Uncle Jim is looking for you.
I'll take all orders at.

Hello?

Manson, we found Szema's son.
You can stop now.

OK.

Tinker, take a break.

I'll take a lunch break then.

I'm sorry, Mr Ho.

All of Man Sang Securities' buy orders
were suddenly cancelled.

You want to wait a bit or lower your order?

The buy orders were from Man Sang Securities?

They've been sweeping
the shares the whole morning.

Hello, uncles!

Long time no see.

You use us to boost the price,
then sell your shares for cash.

Is that how you ask your uncles for money?

No wonder your dad

called you Monkey King.

But that little monkey

never once

escaped from the Buddha's palm.

My dad went to jail on your behalf.

You owe him.
Getting some money from you is fair enough.

All the big shareholders
of "749" are behind you.

I'm afraid I'm not capable to repay the debt.

Shaw Leung.

Derek Kwan.

Kim So.

We are 749's shareholders.

Chauncey Szema was our broker.

These are the directors of
our nursing home's charity fund.

Szema used to be the fund manager.

After he's gone,

most 749 shares were deposited in the fund.

Joe is only trying to

ensure his mom can enjoy her remaining years.

We came back to seek justice from Tony.

This shouldn't be a problem, right?

Hey.

You need to give us a figure for the debt.

What you're doing is preposterous.

I don't think you'll have the chance
to spend the money, Joe.

Just give me the money.
Never mind how I spend it.

What if I don't?

If you don't,

then the recording of your wash trading...

I already uploaded it to a trading website.

If I don't get the shares by close of market

or if I die,

it will be broadcast automatically
on that website.

This website has more than
100,000 subscribers,

including the chairmen of HKMA and SFC.

You better hurry up.

Time is running out.

Manson, keep sweeping shares.

Keep sweeping shares.

1 million at $4.7. Take it all.

How about 5 million at $5?

Take it all.

Mr Ho, Man Sang just
bought the 5 million shares

you're selling.

May I ask you where you work?

The police station.

Sell my remaining 10 million shares

as high as you can.

Yes, sir. Please wait.

$6. We're still 20 million shares short.

The average price of
the last 30 million was $4.75.

Shit! Some copycats are sweeping too.

Already $6.5.

Tony,

the guy who's been placing
the most sell orders is a cop.

You found a cop?

Dealing with experienced shitheads
like you guys,

I need to play safe.

You really think I can't deal with you?

Can you?

I dared to kill your dad even though

he had a hold over me.

You think I won't dare to kill you?

He went to jail on your behalf

but you actually had him killed?

He kept books.

Before he went to jail,
he showed me a stack of receipts.

He wanted me to fall out
with our biggest clients.

He wanted us to help those small companies

and whatever charity funds.

He was ridiculously confused.

Public welfare? We're getting old already.

He thought he was a great man.

If he hadn't died,

I can't imagine how many people
would have died instead.

Hey.

But he burnt all the receipts.

You think he wasn't scared?

If something had happened to us,

how many big entrepreneurs

would have been implicated?

The whole Hong Kong could have collapsed!

Once he was in jail,
he asked Mom to burn all the receipts.

You lied that you'd honor his wishes,

then you killed him.

He treated you like a brother
and he admired you.

He made you leader

when you fought against the foreigners.

20 years later,
you're now worse than those foreigners.

Have you been boosting
the price of "749" for Joe Szema?

I'm very busy. I got no time for you.

Manson, there's no more share in the market.

I do. How many do you want?

Did he ask you to sell for him?

He kidnapped my wife.

That's not my business.
Are you selling or not?

Tell me where my wife is

and I'll sell them to you.

How do I know where your wife is?
I'm running out of time!

Where's my wife?

"749": sell 5 million at $7.5.

I didn't say I would sell to you.

"749": buy back 5 million at $7.5.

Boss, you would go to jail for that.

I said, buy back that 5 million.

What are you doing?
You're selling to yourself?

What's going on with Manson?

He thinks he can betray us
and remain unscathed himself.

Tony, we have 50 million shares.
Average $6.1 per share.

He asked you to sell to yourself?
You want to go to jail?

I've violated some Securities
and Exchange Ordinance today.

You can arrest me.

Did he ask you to say that?

Hey.

He asked me to give you this.

You asshole has pocketed
more than $300 million.

That should be enough.

Give us what we want
and get the hell out of here.

Get out.

Don't worry, Uncle Sherwin.

I didn't upload it to the website.

I was just scaring you.

The recording was hidden in a safe place.

Whenever I'm in need of money,

I'll ask you again.

So my remaining days
will be under your control.

I learn how to control the market from you.

My life...

is under my control.

Boss.

The kid only recorded your conversation.

I wasn't in it.

Whoever want to go better hurry up.

Let's go.

Are you all right?

Don't be scared. Everything is all right now.

I didn't know where I was.

I didn't know I was at home.

I'm home. It's good to be home.

It's good to be home.

This is the phone that guy left you.

He said he had what you wanted.

There's a GPS chip inside the plastic tag.

If the patients get lost,

we can quickly locate them.

Move faster.

Freeze! Police!

Don't move!

Freeze! Police!

Freeze!

I've been curious

how the cop
who eventually busts me will look like.

You're not bad.

But don't let me see you when you bust me.

Who's this guy?

What's inside his arm?

A bug, an advanced military model.

My life... is under my control.

Tony Wong,
director of the HK Stock Exchange in the 80s,

was extradited to HK for trial.

He is suspected of gunning down
Chinese man Joe Szema

in his own apartment

and ordering his underlings
to bury the corpse in the suburbs.

The police later found a bugging device

which recorded the sounds
at the scene during the crime.

As a result of the recording,
the police arrested Tony Wong

and several others,

including many owners of security...

You're the man Szema found for us? Yes.

You have a criminal record.

Cheung On Fund is a charity organization.

How can I use a fund manager

with a criminal record?

I understand.

What was your crime?

Wash trading. I was the one
who boosted the price of "749."

That's convenient...

We're planning to expand
but we need $50 million more.

Any ideas?

I'll try my best.

It's "Le Samourai"!

Son, the film has started.
Why aren't the lights off?

I'll turn them off.

When did you get out?

Last week.

Violation of the Securities
and Exchange Ordinance

cost you 6 months in jail
and suspension of license. Not bad.

The Landlord Club folks
have no time to bother you.

He let you off like that,

you should take good care of his mom.

Is she all right?

She's good.

She only remembers her happy days.

You've taken good care of her.

Why aren't the lights off yet?

I'll turn them off right away.

Let's go.
