Danger. Get out of here.

The case has some complications.

I crossed path with the suspect.

But I let him slip away.

You saw the suspect?

Yes.

Can you recognize him?

Of course not.

Sorry, I should have believed you.

I'm glad you're OK.

Bong,

are you OK?

I'm fine. You?

Take Susan home.

I'll see you in a couple of days.

Let's go.

Did you do it?

Homicide is a serious crime, officer.

Want a beer?

Stay awhile.

Sit down.

No, I'll blow my cover.

Shit. Think you're an undercover?

Give him a draught.

Come closer.

Cheers.

You can go now. Scram.

What?

Go. Take your beer with you.

I'll call you.

Your head... what's wrong?

What do you mean by what's wrong?

The customers got too high.

Here to see me?

No, just meeting some friend.

When are you off?

None of your business.

Man called this number a week before he died.

Does it ring a bell?

No.

That's all?

How did you meet Chief?

Didn't Hei tell you?

One day, I left my camera in the mall.

Hei found it for me.

So I bought him dinner to thank him.

I discovered we had a lot in common.

Before we met,

we've watched the same film in the same cinema,

ordered the same dish at the same restaurant,

even took the same flight to the same place.

Is Hei involved in this case?

No.

Just wanna know how these things begin.

Never tried it before?

Can't remember.

Last time I went to the US, he saw me off here.

Then he showed up in LAX and proposed to me.

I thought it was your idea.

I just found him a faster flight.

Let's eat.

Oh, you're here.

Just checking out. What is it?

It's soup.

Soup?

You take this. I'll get another one.

Oxtail soup, good for your kidney.

She knows.

About what?

The drugs in the soup.

She doesn't want you to worry.

Really?

I checked out Wong's family today.

He only got an old mother with Alzheimer's.

Didn't even know how to get on welfare.

What about Keung?

How about dropping him home?

I checked Man's call record.

A number called him twice before the murder.

It's registered under Keung. Here's the address.

What about this guy?

Let him sleep.

October 27, the day before the murder.

I've checked the call record.

The last number dialed was 23365195.

That's Chow's home number.

Keung was also from Macau.

Maybe he knew Chow.

Possibly.

I think there's a third guy.

Perhaps he's someone we both know?

No idea.

Bong.

No.

Police. Freeze.

Let go of him.

Bong, you all right?

Police.

Sorry.

There's really a third guy.

Why did he come back for us?

What happened to your head?

No big deal.

Some guys got too high.

You have a problem again?

Should we help?

No need. It's just work.

What am I doing here?

We came here for a nightcap.

You collapsed after two rounds.

And I passed out?

What happened to your head?

You hit me with the bottle.

No kidding?

I'm so sorry.

It's OK.

Check this license plate for me. Might be a lead.

Thanks.

Let me buy you a drink.

Beer. Coming.

The license plate has been tempered.

The real number is GG8165.

A phone was found.

The last number dialed was 23589991.

October 29 was not a special festival.

But someone donated $10,000 to the temple.

That's why I remembered.

Did you meet this donor?

No, he just left an envelope.

Who is this man - Fu?

A faithful departed.

Wai Shu was on duty that day.

She saw that man.

Can you remember him?

Yes, he is a man.

Height? Size?

Look?

Wish I could see better.

My eyes are failing. Everyone knows.

I'm going blind, sir.

Chow's time of death is 5:30 a. m.

At 6:58 a. m.

Keung called the temple.

At 7:10 a. m.

a snapshot of Keung's speeding car

was taken on its way to the temple.

Keung reached the temple at 7:20 a. m.,

stayed for 15 minutes and left.

The coroner's report stated

Keung and Wong's time of death was

between 6 a. m. and 9 a. m.

The shots from the Road Monitoring System

show Keung crossing the road

after he left the temple.

There's a bus stop across the road

with a bus to their hideout.

It takes only an hour.

That means their time of death

should be around 8:30 a. m.

I knew from the start it's not that simple.

Keep digging.

Get back to work.

What's wrong with him?

He lost his handcuffs.

He can just buy another pair.

Out of stock.

Why did Keung drop Wong off and go to the temple,

giving Wong a chance to poison him?

They should have split the money first.

Maybe there's something more important.

I'll take a trip to Macau.

Why are you here?

Looking for you.

What for?

Let's go to Macau.

I have to work.

I'll pay you.

Go to hell.

I didn't mean that.

What do you want?

You want sex?

You want sex? Come on.

Is that what you want?

OK, come on.

Just do it right here.

Come on.

Come.

I miss you.

You miss me

only when you're drunk?

I've been sober for days. I still miss you.

What about a few days later?

Can we just chat?

I like chatting with you.

But I'm not sure if I can love you.

Can we?

Forget it.

What's wrong with you?

I didn't ask you what you wanted.

You think too much.

You don't know what you want.

I know.

I know.

Don't pay me anymore.

I'm not...

I'm not a hooker.

Jonesing for a drink?

No.

Red wine?

You know why people like drinking alcohol?

Why?

Because it's hard to swallow.

Which moron said that?

I'm done with your father's case.

Keung didn't kill your dad for money.

He had other reasons.

When your dad was young,

he ran a transportation company in Macau.

Got anything in Macau?

That's not bad at all.

I already told Susan.

I learnt that 25 years ago in Macau,

a man Fu and his entire family were murdered,

including his wife, mother and daughter.

Several men barged into Fu's house

and killed without mercy.

The entire family was dead.

And the house was set on fire.

Fu was an anti-narcotics cop.

Some enemies of his wanted him offed.

But they missed one person.

Fu's son, Keung.

A bunch of suspects were arrested.

All of them had been investigated by Fu,

including Man and Chow.

Chow was in drug trafficking.

Man was Fu's colleague.

Chow bribed Man to pull strings for him.

Fu refused his bribe and exposed him.

Man quitted the force afterwards

and started working for Chow.

When Susan's mother died,

Chow retired and moved to Hong Kong.

The case turned cold.

Keung survived the tragedy.

It took him 25 years to get even.

What would you have done in his position?

If I had nothing to lose like him,

I would have done the same.

What you laughing at? Go.

I like it...

when you fight for me.

Go.

Cut it out...

Bye.

She's cute.

Moving back to the mansion?

Susan's taken over her dad's fortune.

She said that's her home after all.

Chief,

remember we went to Keung's house?

That night when Tsui hit you?

I have been there by myself

before we did.

You thought I was a suspect?

I'm sorry. It's all right.

I would have done the same if I were you.

According to Mr. Chow's will,

all the properties,

stocks, bonds and cash

will be inherited solely by Ms. Chow.

In principle, all of Mr. Chow's fortune

is now Ms. Chow's.

Hello? Speaking.

Broadband installation tomorrow night?

Please give me a call before you come.

What're you doing?

I'll tell you later.

Why so mysterious?

Don't look.

Let me.

I'll tell you later.

Sure you're not coming?

No. You go ahead.

Get changed.

After I'm changed, you take your medication.

Susan is not coming?

She is occupied.

I don't know how to break the news to Susan.

I got this from a fellow in Macau.

Chow got married in 1978

but Susan was born in 1976.

There's no father's name on her birth certificate.

Chow is not Susan's real father.

Lose.

Lose.

There was a gas explosion.

A male body was found in the scene.

His name is Lai.

You busted him once.

Looks like a case of vengeance.

Your wife had serious concussion.

She is in a coma.

We've done everything we could.

The rest is up to her.

Mr. Lau, please wait outside.

2cc of 1:1000 adrenaline.

Yes.

CPR.

The forecast says it'll be sunny the whole week.

Good to get rid of the rain finally.

It was depressing.

But it will be warmer, about 22 degrees.

You must have missed the sun.

I'll take you for a walk when you wake up.

Thanks for your help.

No problem.

Better than drinking all day long, right?

Shut up.

Hang in there, Chief.

Susan will wake up.

Ask her to buy you new underwear.

I've torn some while washing, sorry.

Go, wait downstairs.

Leaving again?

Go.

Take the stairs.

Bye.

You've changed.

For better or worse?

Better.

When I was a cop,

I thought I could change the world.

I tried so hard but failed.

I didn't know what I was doing.

Now I know,

it's the world that's changing me.

Chief,

I've been trying to tell you this.

Rachel's baby was not mine.

I wanted to know whom she's waiting for that night.

A month ago,

Fung located that man for me.

Rachel was going to

meet him that night.

Unfortunately,

he had an accident. He went into a coma.

I thought I would beat him up,

or even kill him.

But I didn't.

I help him clean up once a week.

I've become his amah.

Don't worry, Chief.

I'm fine.

I still wanna have new underwear.

What would the world be when you wake up?

Pack some clothes.

Take the clothes to the hospital, and wait for me at the Macau Ferry Terminal.

Go.

Tsui, this is Bong.

Please check Chief's file for me.

They used to stuff a quail in the goose to grill.

It's very delicious.

But it's hard to find now.

You're so fat.

I used to be slim in my school days.

About 80 pounds only.

Were you an athlete?

4 times ping pong champion. Never lost a match.

How about the match in 1978?

1978...

I did lose that one. I came in second.

Remember who beat you?

No, been such a long time.

All right. Thank you.

Thanks a lot. You're welcome.

Thanks.

Let's go.

Captain Lau Ching Hei, line 3.

Have you woken up?

Did you marry me

in order to kill Dad?

Yes.

So why are you still here?

I don't want you to be hurt.

I want to see you wake up.

Have you ever loved me?

I have.

No, you haven't.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Why got yourself so drunk?

I'm fine.

I just solved Susan's dad's case.

I deserved a drink to celebrate.

While I was boozing,

I realized I didn't know

how to explain to Susan.

I started to muse

and booze.

The more I mused, the more I boozed.

The more I boozed, the more I mused.

I went to Macau a few days ago.

You know where I went?

The primary school Keung attended.

In 1978,

he won the

inter-school table tennis tournament.

Carrying the new paddle,

he ran home to show his father,

only to witness

his family brutally murdered

by Man and Chow.

Terrified, he fled the scene.

He witnessed the whole tragedy.

He ran to his father's office.

But there he found the perps

with his father's colleagues.

He dared not go to the police.

He understood

the murderers would take him out.

After hiding in the convent for a week,

Sister Mace found him

and accepted him into the orphanage.

When Sister Mace asked him his name,

he said without a thought.

My name is Lau Ching Hei.

The name kept him alive.

When he heard Chow moved to Hong Kong,

he followed him to Hong Kong.

After college, he became a cop.

Then he married Susan.

In the end, he killed Chow.

A bit far-fetched.

Isn't it, Keung?

You'll never understand.

Have you ever lost everything?

I have.

I lost everything in one day.

My home, my family,

even my own identity.

I want Chow to experience that.

I didn't dwell on revenge as there's no chance.

4 years ago, I accidentally came across

Keung's file in the police record.

He's also from Macau, with no ties.

The same ordinary name.

It's a golden chance from heaven.

What about Wong?

He said he could kill for 50 grand.

Such a bastard deserved to die.

And Susan?

She was part of my plan.

To get to Chow, I had to spy on her.

I followed her to movies, restaurants,

even to trips overseas.

After we married, we came back to Hong Kong.

I went to see Chow

and told him I was Fu's son.

Susan is innocent.

And my family wasn't?

I always thought this was a perfect plan.

Nary a wrong move.

Then I saw Susan in the hospital.

I realized it's no matter if she's Chow's daughter or not.

She's my wife.

My family.

Same as Dad, Mum, Sis and Granny.

She's my family.

Thank you.

Cheers. Cheers.

I told you I liked you. That's true.

I know.

You've asked me not to give you money.

You better not back out.

Of course.

But... But what?

But...

Listen.

But...

How about family expenses?

How much?

The more you give, the better the service.
