Original subtitles

Attention all units... HQ calling Central Patrol.

A Chinese male robber

is holding a hostage on Duddell Street

against some security guards.

All units proceed immediately.

Don't come over.

I'll kill him.

Two guards are dead.

Shit, so many of us and we can't do anything.

We'll be the laughing stock of town.

Let him go.

Just like that case of the jeweller's.

That hostage was seriously injured.

He got away and the hostage was still hurt.

Same deal, the hostage is yours, I get the nutcase.

Come on, come over here.

You guys will let him go.

Get over there.

Put your gun down.

You guys never put on a good show.

This one will be the same.

Put your gun down, get over there.

Kam, take a look at the hostage.

Yes, Sir!

You bastards, shooting at the hostage!

I'll sue you.

The hostage asked me why I shot him.

I told him the gun misfired.

He says he'll sue.

These guns are supplied by the U.K.

Go sue the England.

And he started crying.

Kam, you go ahead first.

The boss asked us to go see him.

I'll wait for you to take his lecture together.

What a mess!

Your spinal nerves are affecting your right hand.

Making it periodically out of control.

This is very serious.

Before it gets worse,

You sholud get a suspension first.

Mr.Tse? I've been looking for you.

One of my staff left something at the hotel.

You've got it, right?

Please return it.

Yes, the photo album.

You must have seen the shipping schedule,

and went to check us out at the Shipping Company.

The guy is too greedy.

I don't care where he's from, kill him.

Yes!

Petrol!

Come in. Send him on his way.

You remember your old partner. Skinny Tse.

He may have been killed in Malaysia.

The body will be back tomorrow.

You were such friend with him.

You'd want to do the case anyway, right?

Freeze, Police!

Informer!

Tse!

Are you alright?

My leg.

John!

Two more weeks to the wedding.

Are you regretting it?

The wedding has to be postponed.

Why?

I have my reasons.

I've taken on Tse's case.

It's best if we wait until the case is over.

Let me take you home.

Tse looks pretty good all dressed up.

Quite smart.

Looks as if he could live to 90.

Then pop, he's gone.

Hope it's not him. The loose ends from

the drug case may have caused his murder.

He was followed to Malaysia.

Of course not. His boss was killed in jail.

Tse hid in S.E. Asia cause he wanted out.

He must have gotten involved in something.

My negligence forced Tse to go into hidding.

Sergeant Lan, I'm Waipong Wong.

Call this rookie 1006 Kwok Keung Lun.

Tell him to meet me at the morgue.

I'm Pak, not Lan.

Sergeant Lan has gone on leave.

I'll can the rookie for you.

Got a call.

Stop the car.

You want to squash me to death? Sorry!

Back up, right away.

Nurse, is it serious.

Over 10 stitches.

Won't be able to sit for a while.

A permanent scar too.

Please call me if there are any changes.

I'm from the Police.

My I.D. My name is...

Kwok Keung Lun!

Smart!

And you're Ada?

This is my number, call me if something happens.

Call me even if nothing happens.

Shit, forgot to call back.

Inspector Ong from Malaysia.

Our Inspector Wong.

Crime Unit, Chief Inspector Waipong Wong.

I'm Chat Fu Ong.

Just call me John.

And me, Ong.

Come inside.

Sorry!

Do you know Chief Inspector Wong?

Is he here? He told me to report here.

I'm 1006, Kwok Keung Lun.

Shit!

Let's begin.

Lun!

Since Malaysia has notified us.

We've contacted Tse's family.

He's been missing for 2 weeks.

If Tse's case involves both areas,

we'll probably have to go to Malaysia.

Your turn, Ong.

Good.

Run it.

The deceased was 1 .7M

estimated weight 45kg,

was burnt with petrol.

Bruises on his bones.

But basically the body is in one piece.

X'ray shows his left leg has been operated

where a metal joint was put in.

It matches completely with your X'rays.

We found his bag at the scene of murder.

With a photocopy of shipping schelules.

Those circled are ships bound for Hong Kong.

These duplicated photos were

also in the bag.

You won't get sick over this.

The moustachio is Kanin Ho.

He owns a Shipping Company.

He was obviously blackmailed.

As for Tse's murder,

the only clue lies with him.

But investigating rich men is a problem.

See if you have enough clout.

John!

The guy with Ho is from Malaysia.

Do you know him?

He is Ching Han, doing very well in Hong Kong lately.

He's something, got filthy rich just like that.

Can't imagine he has a clean record.

What are you up to now, Clumsy Lun.

Self-made bugging device.

Doesn't work. No sound.

Maybe the batteries are flat?

You're using batteries!

It's the age of hydro-electricity.

You just have to spit on it and it works.

Oh yeah, have you tried the ones you piss on.

Kam!

I'm going with the rookie to check Ho out.

We're C.I.D. from Central Crime Unit.

We would like Mr. Ho to assist in an investigation.

What do you mean by this?

Make an appointment with my office.

Should I take a gift too?

I'm not kidding you.

Talk to my lawyer.

He's stalling.

Kam,can you see over there by the flag poles.

Someone's talking pictures of us.

Shit, must be a talent scout.

There's another up there on the podium.

Kam, Lun, you fix the one at the flag poles.

They've planned their exit, they'll be back.

I though only cops tailed people.

How come we're being tailed?

Sign here please.

Sorry, it's urgent.

Thanks!

Crime Unit!

Is Inspector Wong there?

Hold on.

Waipong Wong!

John, it's me, Maggie.

John, are you there?

We've got the gay kid who's with Ho.

His name is Ah Chi.

Lives in Wanchai, comes out rarely.

Only wholesale deals, no retail trade.

Been to every gay hangout and 2 guys know him.

Bring him in.

I'm Inspector Wong from Crime Unit.

We have an appointment with Mr. Ho at 4p.m.

Do you have a booking?

I came personally yesterday.

How can you say there's no appointment!

Well, there isn't.

Mr. Ho is busy for the rest of the month.

Open up.

So noisy. Must be a gay party.

Open up.

Open up.

John!

What? Go on.

The circled ship is arriving today

and will leave in 2 day's time.

Do we have time to apply for a permit.

It's too big, we won't have time to search.

We'll discuss it when I get back.

The guy's still following.

I know I've failed.

Tried twice to meet the guy.

I meant those guys are tailing us again.

Tailing us?

Let's play hide and seek. Where?

Don't scare them.

You take one end, I'll take the other.

Yes!

Careful!

Gun, he's got a gun.

Bastards.

Lun!

Freeze. Police!

You've got guns too. You can shoot too!

Watch it.

What are you doing?

You're lucky to be alive. Are you alright? Scared the hell out of me.

Well, Sir!

What about the one you were after.

he got away.

OK?

Fine.

Fix them up.

Yes!

Shit! Two gone in a day.

Looks like a really tricky case.

They really want to know where we're going.

Ho is leaving for Seattle tomorrow.

What can we do if he leaves?

We can't stop him from going.

But I can fix it so that he can't go.

Kam, let's put on a good show tomorrow.

We'll have some fun with him.

Good, it won't so boring then.

What we do to Ho tomorrow is not in the rule book.

Can lose yourjob anytime.

If you don't want to take part.

I'll apply for your transfer.

I'm right behind you.

I can't transferjust after I've started.

We'll have some fun!

You got my photos to coerce me into co-operation.

Now there's murder and you hang it on me?

Who did you kill in Malaysia?

Why are the cops after me?

I've got someone tailing the cops.

Anything happens, I'll handle it.

The guy was killed in Malaysia

so that your photos won't get out.

You know those phtoos can't be seen.

Your other Board Members will not like it.

You companies will suffer.

You know I can fix the cops and the gangs.

If you're smart, wait for the cargo to arrive safely,

or else I can squash you with my little finger.

You hear?

Don't come looking for me.

I'll arrange everything for you.

Someone will meet you in Seattle.

I'm Lun from Crime Unit.

Mr. Ho, lower your window please.

lgnore him, go on!

Mr. Ho!

Mr. Ho!

He really ignored me.

Forget it, we'll move in on him.

Kam, all yours.

Got it.

Get going. You're really slow.

Slow? I haven't seen him yet.

Mr. Ho. It's a red light.

Just go on.

You see that! Aren't you slow?

Go over!

Are you crazy? We said punch twice.

Get goin, you're slow even to get away.

Shit, where are the car keys?

Wait for me.

You never told me about switching cars.

Who told you to drive this card away?

This is his.

We drive it away.

He can't move.

Why didn't you say so before.

If I didn't get on, I'd be in real trouble.

You're so fast, you're bound to catch me.

You're putting me on.

Park it, I'll sort it out with you.

Mr. Ho., what happened?

I don't know... don't know!

Those guys were here to beat you up.

They'll probably come back.

You'd better give me a statement.

Look, no one must know we're having it out.

I don't think you can take it.

I'll let you start.

You go first. Cari mati.

It's Malay, you want to die. Curry what?

Carry me? Carryme?

You started it.

I let you go first.

Cari mati!

Carry me? Carry...

My glasses...

Your reaction is party fast too.

Hurry, we're not through yet.

Mr. Ho, look again.

Do you recognize this man?

They were masked. How would I know?

No?

Have you seen him before?

No!

Do you know who Skinny Tse is?

No!

Think clearly.

I don't understand the law. Talk to my lawyer.

I'm going abroad tonight.

Thank you for letting me return to the office.

Sign the statement please.

You may go.

I know how to look after people who do not know law.

Thank you for your co-operation.

We'll find your car.

We've sent the stuff out.

Let's see how he reacts.

Please deliver this to Mr. Ho immediately.

It's urgent. He must see it at once.

The meeting is adjourned.

He took the photos and returned to his office.

I told him to take $1 m to the cinema tomorrow.

Will he take the bait?

If he is behind Tse's killing.

He's going to murder this blackmailer as well.

If he calls the police, our plan fails.

Nobody knows we're behind this.

If he does, we'll just take over the case.

He's gone downstairs.

Calling station, he's made as showing.

You go and play the blackmailer.

Wait for him in front of the cinema.

What if he recognizes me.

Get made up, then he won't.

Go and get prepared.

Kam, accordine to plans.

Yes! Follow me.

Will you guys look out for me.

No problem!

Calling grasshopper.

What's it like at the cinema?

We've been watching.

Lun has been waiting for over an hour.

No show.

Nothing here either.

It's not time yet.

Hey, one big blue whale went by.

Everybody stand-by.

Stand-by!

Climbing over at 6 furlong.

Bastard, you come right through the red lights!

You want to die young.

Can't you see me?

Go to hell!

If you scratch me, I'll sue you.

He's making a call.

Trace it.

Trace the call.

Mr.Ching Han please!

Who is it?

It's Ho!

Tell him to come to the phone.

Mr. Han says you should not call him again.

Han wouldn't take his call.

It's really you!

Something's up. Don't move!

Don't shoot. She's my friend.

Abort. Abort. Everybody in positions.

Are you on duty?

Then I won't get in the way. Bye-bye!

Careful!

I'll call you.

Anything happening?

Nothing at all.

Help! Come!

Screaming for help!

Go in!

So slow.

What is it?

The guy cut his wrists.

Oh shit!

Get an ambuiance.

Yes, Sir!

Get an ambuiance.

He's still alive, get him to hospital.

Hurry!

Call the Emergency ward to stand-by.

Notify P.C. Chan to seal all news.

Don't let the reporters know.

Also, tell Lun to wrap up.

You're leaving tomorrow. Do you remember my name?

Ada!

Good girl!

Don'tjump around when you get home.

Visiting your patient?

You really scared me today.

I have a case on the 15/F tonight, I'll be here all night.

Really? Can I visit you?

Sure, bring me a midnight-snack.

What snack?

Peanuts, chips, beefjerky, chocolates.

That's junk food. I'll get you something else.

Mr. Ho is out of danger.

But he needs to rest, don't talk for too long.

If you were willing to co-operate,

you wouldn't be in this mess.

Someone is blackmailing you,

so you had him murdered.

Now you know you can't get away with it.

Did you kill Tse?

A lawyer...

Lawyers obey the law too.

A lawyer...

You committed murder. A lawyer can't save you.

The deceased was my friend.

I'm speaking to you in ap ersonal capacity.

I want my lawyer.

Don't throw a lawyer at me. You killed my friend.

I didn't...

Then why won't you co-operate?

I didn't kill.

If you co-operate, you can avoid a scandal.

I didn't kill.

How can you face people now.

Where's your shitty bugging device. Let's have it.

If you didn't, who did?

The one who's blackmailing you.

No!

He can't take it anymore, John.

Don't deny it. Who is blackmailing you?

No!

You're really scum.

You'd reather die then tell who's blackmailing you.

Really, no!

What has he done for you that you're protecting him?

Really, there's nobody. Scum like you should be dead.

Now noone is going to protect you.

Your name will be ruined.

Talk!

Ching Han!

Coming out soon.

Get a doctor.

Kam, burn up this false stuff.

What is it?

Let's go!

The only way to save yourself is for you to

tell us who's blackmailing you.

Han secretly had me photographed

and has been threatening me to help him

move cargo with my ships.

What sort of cargo?

Cans. But I don't know what's in them.

How come Tse is involved?

I don't know him.

Han says Tse found the photos by accident

and he had to be killed.

What sort of cargo is Han moving?

I'll search in the godown.

Door open.

Told you it's open.

Shit, telling me to watch these guys.

Wasting my talents.

If I go on the streets,

crime rate would fall.

do you agree?

Got it!

Let's move this out.

We'll move it all out tonight, meal's on me.

He looks familiar.

Do you know him?

It's the number I from the next district.

Han is really good,

got our people too.

Blonde chick, target for emigration.

This is even better, can't emigrate, pick this one.

Where's my snack?

Catch!

Thank you!

Peanuts, kumquats, apricots, beefjerky & chocolates.

You have to eat it all up.

He's my partner, Tangerine!

Hello!

Clumsy Lun, I see you're not so clumsy now.

Really, is he clumsy?

Well, enough?

Your hospital head has taste.

All the nurses are so pretty.

Even that blonde nurse just now is pretty.

Blondes! This hospital has only Chinese nurses.

Shit!

The salt water bottle.

Where are you going?

Sorry!

What is it?

Look after Mr. Ho!

Lun, what is it?

Hurry and get out.

Get her out.

Yes! Let's go!

Careful...careful!

Take Ho to the 13/F.

Hold it!

Something is wrong upstairs.

Shit!

Kam, come with me.

Kam, turn off the mains.

Coming down, hurry.

You two stay here.

I'll be down here.

Wong!

What are you doing here, go down.

Kam, careful down below.

What are you doing up there?

I hit the safety switch by mistake.

Shit!

That guys hanging.

Help me!

I can see him, John!

Is he near to you now?

Yes, I'll get him.

Help!

It hurts!

It's dangerous, he's got a grenade.

Move over, Ong!

Oh shit!

Get doctor Chang!

Mind the way, excuse me!

Oxygen, we need oxygen.

Another bottle.

Here.

We've got Ho's statement.

Why can't we go and get Han now?

Ho is dead.

You go and alert Han now,

he'll sue you like hell, idiot!

That's true.

Last year,

this Chan guy cheated so much money

from the banks, but he was judged not guilty.

It's a mess anyway.

What is it? All your fathers died?

This case is not over yet.

Look at this.

Powdered milk.

That's right, powdered milk.

If so many can get killed over powdered milk,

women wouldn't dare have children.

Let's take it for tests.

We have an informer in the police,

you must help us

find out what this stuff is.

What are these? Plant seeds.

I'll let you know.

It's urgent but you be careful.

Nobody must know about it.

I'll conduct the tests when no one is around.

Call me when you have the results.

I'll want for your call.

John! Wait! Let's go. It's a family affair.

Do you want it back?

I'll call you with the results.

Just take care.

I will.

I hope I can help you break the case.

He's back, quiet.

These guys have really got guts.

Following us again!

What do we do?

Calm down, they won't get away.

Calling Western District Station, Inspector Chan here.

According to our tipoff, they are in front of us.

We'll nail them, over!

This is Inspector Wong.

I'm going past Sheung Wan Street.

One light brown 4-door sedan

registration BT 6041

4 suspects in the car.

We are proceeding to Wing Lok Street.

Keep any eye on them, over!

We've got to catch them today.

Here they come.

I've never had a gun fight yet.

Shut the door and watch the fun.

Looks like they're armed.

They're armed.

Get some help.

Those inside do not move. We are C.I.D.

We're C.I.D. too. Why are you following us?

We'll shoot if you don't come out.

Shit, whoever shoots first gets it.

Get down!

Put your I.D. away.

I see one.

Shoot back.

Kam, Ong, don't shoot.

Someone is playing a bad joke on us.

Kam, Ong!

Really C.I.D.'s

How are you?

A gun fight!

That serious?

Someone was lying in wait for us.

Attacking the police, I want this place sealed.

Yes!

Looks like guys from the next district.

bad luck for them, barging in on us like this.

You jerks come up with something new each day.

Don't let news of this get out.

Or it will make the top 10 charts.

Our crime unit says someone is following them

someone gave us a tipoff

to follow your guy, Sir!

Tell them all to come out. Now.

Yes!

All of you inside come out.

This is Ng. Don't come out.

How can you guarantee your guys won't attck.

If my guys were to shoot, your guys can't come out.

I guarantee their safety.

OK!

I'm Law from Central.

Our guys come out.

Who started the shooting?

I'll put this in my report, you just wait.

I fired the first shot.

People like you ruin the police's image.

Shit!

Do you think that Peter arranged this.

lsn't that Ching Han?

Inspector Wong, please to meet you.

How are you?

I hear you gang is very thorough, good!

Hong Kong has only 10 years left, not much time.

How can we make a living if we are not thorough.

You know we are investigating you.

You have your hands on my shoulders, wanna deal?

I don't know about deals.

I knew you'd come looking for me.

That's why I've come voluntarily.

Go ahead, ask. I'll try my best to answer.

The answers you can give are probably not good enough.

No hurry, I'll be looking for you.

Don't get a ticket for Seattle when the time comes.

You dropped something. Take it home & look it over.

I don't know which beggar threw that dirty money away.

Tell him to go eath shit.

Did you see that face!

Watching us throw his money away. What fun!

Fun, eh!

My heart broke when I saw thwat money go.

You can't suspend me now.

I'm nearly there.

let me go on.

How can there be suddenly $300,000in my bank?

Someone is setting me up.

Sorry, I.C.A.C. is after you.

Even then, I don't need to be suspended.

I've been following the case from the start.

Now someone else is starting all over again.

When will we get enough evidence to get Han?

You talk to the I.C.A.C.

Just give me one more month.

Otherwise all my work goes down the drain.

Anymore from you, you get an investigation too.

Lun, don't mess about.

I'll fix the boss.

Ho was murdered at the hospital.

This case is not finished yet.

You'll be busy at the courts all the time.

Don't go on investigating this month.

I've got to make a call.

Lun, Maggie called, go and see what it is.

Hello, Maggie, Lun here.

I've got it, it's cocaine seeds.

After refinement, it becomes heroin.

Ah.

I'll tell Inspector Wong!

1 1/2minutes left.

Throw it out the window.

There's a building site there.

Excuse me! Move over!

Excuse...

Get away!

Calling H.Q.!

Excuse me!

I'll shoot if you don't stop.

Move off, I'm C.I.D.!

Shit, it's going to go off.

Move off!

Off!

What is it?

Don't run...

I'll shoot.

Are you OK, Kam?

You're right, I'm slow.

To let that old soldier shoot me, shit on shit.

I'll take you to the hospital.

My mother is really stubborn.

She mustn't know I'm shot.

Kam, Kam...

Old lady...

Do you know where my son Kam is?

The cop with the bad temper?

Right, where is he?

In bed number 52.

Thank you!

Kam!

Oh shit!

You have to go to court tomorrow.

I'm going back to K.L. tomorrow.

Your boss reported on me to my boss.

H.Q. wants me back.

I.C.A.C. hearing tomorrow. Can't send you of.

Take care!

I will!

I don't know whether it's the right time to resign.

My mother is afraid I'll get killed.

Don't worry, I'll fix it.

If you need help, anytime.

Do you have any comments on this investigation?

Sorry, no comments.

Mr. Han!

How come you're involved in this?

Actually decent businessmen like me

hate law keepers who are corrupt. Sorry!

I never knew we'd see one another in court.

But you're not after me, I'm after you.

Frankly, this is your chance to go straight.

I feel sorry for you too.

I've always doubted Hong Kong's law

but a lot of people are wasting good time

nowadays studying basic law, this law, that law,

actually there is no law.

Small matter. Spend a few years inside. Start again.

Don't worry. Nothing will happen.

Any problems, call me.

You bastard.

Let him go!

Let me go. I'll beat him to death.

Let me go!

Stop, stop!

Don't bother, kid. You need some vitamin pills.

Let's go!

Don't you leave.

There are reporters here, don't fall for it.

Let me go!

I can't live with it.

Let me go!

If this is what a cop's life, I quit.

Lun!

Lun. Kwok Keung Lun!

Where are you off to?

Leave me alone, don't follow me.

Come on! Lun!

$3.70.

That's right. Just let it blow over.

$12.0.

Give me a lighter.

$2.0.

What is it?

Notify Inspector Wong and Kam.

Tell them to wait, I've got a new clue.

Let's go!

At least you have to tell me where to go.

I'm C.I.D. follow that Rolls Royce.

After some robbers?

You bungled the job, the cargo nearly didn't go out.

It will be even more inconvenient.

The police are watching us.

Our transport network in S.E. Asia.

has been completely destroyed by you.

Ching Han, you are a man of resources,

now there's a problem, what then?

Mr. Molotov, Hong Kong will be handed over soon,

many are waiting to emigrate.

They are need money.

I agree with you, this is the time to grab money.

As long as we pay the price, not to mention drugs,

you can ship the entire Hong Kong to your conuntry.

This list at high government officials.

Yes, we spent some money.

but compared to our profits,

this investment in peanuts.

You're right. Everybody looks to money now.

Selling drugs & capitalism together is the best way.

Let's drink to 1997.

Cheers!

To greater success.

Mr. Han, that rookie has followed us here.

Freeeze!

Trying to scare somebody?

Have you called Inspector Wong!

He'll be here soon.

I've recorded han's meeting.

He's moving drugs for the Russians.

Han's nailed this time.

It's that guy.

Lun! Can't call out.

Go through that window.

Jump down

and give the tape to Inspector Wong!

How come your face can be cut by a blade?

I thought it was made of steel.

I despise stupid people like you.

You do not treasure your life.

You go all the way each time,

with no ulterior motive, no gains.

I don't know for what.

I thought stubborn people like you

have already become extinct.

Mr. Han, we found the tape.

Other than the kid.

others must know our secret too.

Pity, bad enough for you,

why did you get others involved.

You want a quick death, tell me who's

heard this tape before.

The janitor is dead.

Lun!

Don't, Inspector Wong!

Lun...

Don't go over there.

Lun!

Lun!

Lun!

Ada! Hide.

Cari mati!

Let's go!

Let's get him.

Kam...

Cari mati!

I'll smash you to death.

Don't release the pedal.

Jump, we're crashing.

Are you OK?

No problem!

You bastard, go to hell!

Take this.

We never found out who's on Han's list.

But the drugs leaving Hong Kong

were found by the Marine Plice.

At least your efforts were not wasted.

The doctor ssays my stitches will be removed next month.

I want to apply to be with you.

I thought you wanted to quit.

Excuse me, which one is Inspector Wong?

I've been transferred from the Western District.

Number 1003, Yiuming Butt!

Don't know where he's...

I am Waipong Wong!

We'll talk about it back in the station.

This car, don't you want your own car?

No, Sir!

Working with this long-haired faggot, shit!

Wait for me, I don't know the way.
