Up to this day, many people still think

Hong Kong is a paradise of wealth

The fact is, in the last half a year

due to the influx of foreign capital

This land with no...

natural resources for production

has become the Pearl of the Orient

enticing a corresponding influx of 'gold diggers'

However, if Hong Kong were stripped

of its outer glamour, what becomes revealed is

its population explosion and

spiralling inflation, which has...

oppressed the lives of many ordinary citizens

They devise ways and means to survive

including robbing and stealing

Violence is common

We will use

a popular transportation vehicle

to delineate the seamy side of life

in this cosmopolitan

Good bye

Good bye...

Had tea yet?

Let's go and have tea, thanks

To Fat

Good morning

Caine Road

Rotten luck, a foreigner passenger!

He's afraid l might con him, look, holding a map

Who has the time to go round in circles with him?

Look at him

l wonder if he knows reading a map

You...quickly...

Yes

Thank you

Change

Money

Foreigner

One luggage for 50 cents

Thank you

l...

Driver, faster please

l...

lt's congested, l go to another route

My stomach is painful

l'll do my best

Quick

l am going into labour, hurry

Yes

Are you blind?

Do you know how to deliver a baby?

Crazy

Are you a doctor?

l am a doctor

You are? Quickly then...

Get ready

How?

Don't you know?

Haven't you had a baby?

Yes, no...l haven't

Go quickly...

Get ready? Get ready to give birth?

Sir, look what he has done to my car

Do you know how to drive?

Congratulations, a baby girl

Congratulate me?

Where?

Over there

Doctor, thanks

Your wife is looking for you

Thank you, sir

My daughter was born in your taxi

Can she have free rides in your cab from now on?

Okay...

Out of the way...

Driver, you must open your door more

otherwise how can l get on? Open wider

Are you getting on? lf not, l'm on my way

How can l get in?

Nuts, what nonsense

Ah Guang, how's business?

Are you going for a meal now?

Please drive faster

l'm in a hurry, what's wrong with you?

Okay...

Here are your noodles

Eat slowly

You wouldn't listen anyway

Uncle Tsang, my life does not offer this luxury

There's nothing l can do about it

Pal, l have to get off

You can't get off here

lt doesn't matter if you're knocked down by a car

but l'll be in trouble

Help, thieves

Help, robbery

Catch him, quick

Help, robbery

Help, robbery

Catch him, quick

Help, robbery

Chen Guang, mind your own business

Grab him

Quick, catch him

We'll meet again, you'd better watch out

Where?

There

That's him

Officer, he snatched my wallet

Did you do this?

What if l did?

Do l have to be imprisoned for life?

Let's see how tough you are

You've to make a living; don't create enemies, man

His kind will give you trouble

Uncle Tsang, if everyone did nothing

What would the world become? l...

Chan has got a ticket, damn

l...

Go and see

Sorry, l would not have exceeded the time limit

if l had not chased a thief...

Give me a break

No

Ah Guang, how's business?

What, another ticket?

l made quite an amount today

Go to my place later, okay?

Lai Ching is on leave today, we'll do some cooking

Thanks, you two enjoy yourselves

l can't bear to watch you and eat

l'm not going

Damn you

Ah Guang is a lucky man

When are they getting married?

l just asked her

This has to be done sooner or later

Ah Guang is a good kid

Better than my kids

Miss Heung, don't lose him

Marriage is a troublesome thing

We're making preparations

What preparations do you need?

Ah Guang has lived here for a long time

Would you move after you're married?

No, we would not

That's good then

As soon as you have a date

l'll get the room painted

That's right

lf the 3 men in the last room move out

That room will be large enough

What are you talking about?

Young people like to take contraceptives these days

Just like my daughter-in-law

Now she can't conceive

You must be careful; haven't you heard?

1 kid is best, 2 good but 3 are too many. 4 will...

break your back (financially); l'll wash the veggies

Let me

Bastard

Not bad

Smells good

What do you want?

What do you want?

Aunt San, a pretty girl

Ah Hung, do you want her?

Of course

No, don't...

What are you doing?

Don't

Where do you want to go?

My camera

Lai Ching...

Why are you so nervous?

Who did you quarrel with? Come

Lai Ching, aren't you cooking at home?

Where are you going?

l'm not coming here anymore

Alright, don't be angry, l'll take you to dinner

These two aren't too clear

l have some here

Take them all out

Hand them over

This is the map of the area around the bank

When we leave the bank

we'll use this route to escape

This is a good area

But have you considered that this

cross junction is very busy

and there are many cars coming and going?

lt might hamper our getaway

l deliberately chose it for the high traffic

The more traffic there is the better for us

As long as we remember the routes

we'll be home free before the police arrives

Right

Right

The armoured car arrives at 3:30

We'll make our move at 3:20

Are we going in empty handed like this?

l never fight a battle l am not confident in winning

Look at this

Brother Ma, you're good

but there are 3 of us and there's only one gun

What's to fear?

Li Hung will carry a knife

After we charge in...

you can seize a gun from the security guard

The key is to use this gun when we charge in

Understand?

l admire your sincerity

And you love my charming appearance

l'm hungry

See if there's anything to eat at the old lady's

Let's look in the kitchen

What have we got here?

This is cooking wine, you cannot take it

ls there anything to eat?

Guys, this is good wine

This wine is not bad

Wine and meat

What are you doing?

Shut up. What's yours is mine!

And what's mine is mine!

How can you take my food?

Stop that noise or l'll kill you

Annoying

Forget it. Let's go

How could they be so unreasonable?

Ask them to move out

Of course l want them out

but look how fierce they are

They don't pay the rent and make me wash their clothes

Smells good

Brother Ma, we are only familiar with

...the outside of the bank

We know nothing about the inside

By then...

Don't worry about that

l have my plans

to make you familiar

The thing is l need a car

A car?

Yes

How else can we make our escape?

We'll steal one

Right

That's what they do in the movies

We'll see which car is left unlocked on the streets

and just take it

That's right

Can you drive?

That's why in addition to a car

...we need a driver

Brother Ma, don't you have a girl friend

who'd have the guts to do it?

Can she join in?

You mean Sophia; Forget it

She's great in bed, but...

bad at all other things

Don't worry

We can solve this problem

Come, let's drink

Cheers

Ah Guang you're back

Sorry to keep you waiting so late

lt's okay, l still have some unfinished business

Ah Guang, do you have any glue?

Yes

Miss Heung was here this afternoon

She prepared a meal for you

But she left as she was pissed off by those people

l bumped into her and we ate

Sorry

lt's not your fault

Whose belt is it? Weird

lt belongs to that Ma fellow in the last room

Weird people use weird stuff!

Ma?

They've stayed for free for a few months

...without paying rent

They mess up their rooms and are fierce people

All my other tenants are angry at me because of them

You must think of something

and ask them to move out

l can't do anything

Thanks

Good morning, Miss So

Ma Sheung Loong, you're shameless. Give me my money

Give my money back to me

3 guys; l better leave

Let's go

What's your number?

Number 8

You have to work additional shift tomorrow

Alright

Number 42

You'll work the morning shift tomorrow

Remember

You're on night shift

Number 1 1

You're on night shift, don't make a mistake about it

Ah Fat, Ah Guang

You two are off tomorrow

l switch to night shift tomorrow

That's great

Your number?

Great, we're on night shift together

We're off tomorrow, what are your plans?

l have no plans. Unlike you, l don't have Lai Ching

That baby girl is sweet

l'll visit her at the hospital after l clean my car

Did you know she's my god daughter now?

Shameless

You're still single, how can you have a god daughter?

Lai Ching

Him again?

He's a taxi driver, maybe he's going to work

Going to work now?

Now is the time for the next shift

Shift? Taxi driver? Let's go home quickly

This is the lobby, & it's also the inside of the bank

There are 3 security cameras inside

One is here

The other is here

The third one is here

Our target is here

Money, remember?

Everything's all set, we'll be rich

Brother, didn't you say the other day

...that you'll get a car?

l've got it

God is helping me

You've got the car too?

Yes, just now didn't you tell me

that our neighbour is a taxi driver?

Close the door

Who is it?

Bringing you the clothes

Give them to me

To Fat, what are you doing?

This is a secret, l can't tell you

That's the good thing about night shift

Taxi

Mister, where to?

Go forward

Don't be like this

Why are you in such a hurry?

You bastard

Someone's watching!

What are you looking at?

Mister, where would you like to go?

Shut up, go to Fei Ngo Lang

Are you okay?

Brother, take me to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital

Ah Guang, you've got back your licence

Taxi...

Miss, where to?

Freedom Road

Alright

Miss, this can cause an accident

You are such a coward, it's here

l live upstairs, come up with me

and have a drink, alright? Come

l'm sorry Miss, l have to work

What are you afraid of?

l'll pay you for what you can earn a night

Take whatever you want

Take it

No

Miss, please get off the taxi

No

No? l'll kill you

Alright...bastard

Uncle Tsang, give me a bowl of beef noodles

Coming...

Last night the 2 guests performed a wonderful show

You won't see it even in Denmark

Bluffing, you've got eyes at your back?

My encounter was even more weird

She wanted me to go upstairs and drink with her

She even opened her handbag and let me take her money

Good, l'll tell this to your girlfriend

You think l'd go with her?

Needless to say, she must be very ugly

To Fat, you are wrong

l too went through this once; she's so beautiful

Go upstairs and just drink with her?

Who'd dare to go with her!

Like Chen Guang, l got her out of the car

Fool, you are all fools

lf l were you, l'll go up with her

And...

They are gone

Wait for me

Mister, welcome

Alright

Who is it?

Open the door

Why are you so slow?

Hello

Yes, l'm at the door now

lt took me 27 minutes

Hello...

Looks like you earned some money

Baby

What happened to you?

lt took me...

27 minutes like this

Baby

What are you doing?

We are rehearsing, when we've got it, dump the car

and come back here

lt took 27 minutes

You want to hide at my place?

We are like the god of wealth

God of wealth is here?

Can l get $10 from each of you?

l've spent a lot of money on you

You shouldn't be so sarcastic

Brother Ma....

God damn it, you are tired of living

Listen to me

and you'll have a share if l get rich

Really?

Of course, but....

Now l want you...

Damn you

What are you doing? Put me down

Bastard, put me down

What are you idiots doing?

Go to the kitchen

Put me down

Ah Chu, bring us something...

Give us something to eat and l'll let you go

This smells good

You've said this many times already

Let me tell you, if l am rich

Bluffing

You don't believe in me? l'm planning to rob the bank

lt's all set up. We're just waiting for the...

taxi driver to be on the day shift, then we can start

Don't run, stop running if you have the guts

Start the car

Sorry, a lady asked me to wait here

Mister, thank you for saving my life

Please drive quickly

Don't run

Stop running, l'll get you

Taxi...

Uncle Tsang, although we were not there

we could imagine how

To Fat looked at the time

ls that right?

Alright, To Fat, you've learnt your lesson

Next time, don't be greedy

Next time?

Miss, where do you want to go?

Nowhere

Ever since you got on, we've been

Don't argue with me, l've learnt my lesson

Get off

Ah Guang, don't go over

They might start a fight

lt's To Fat

Wait for me, l'll be back

Be careful

Do you want to fight?

What happened?

Damn it, he wants to grab my client

He can't get any clients, so...

he ran into my car deliberately, look

Stop talking nonsense

Come tonight if you have the guts

Why not, am l afraid of you?

Alright, 9 o'clock tonight

Ah Guang

That way, don't run

Are you alright?

Yes

Don't run

Come back to the police station with me.

Alright.

l've told you not to come

Brother Ma, are you sure you can find him?

No problem

Why him?

We've thoroughly investigated his background

in the past few days

lt should be easy

lf we used someone else

would you know his background?

lf we happened to run into an 8th Dan Karate expert

then we are finished

To Fat, that way

l forgot

Chen Guang, you are lucky this time

Remember?

Taxi

l hailed it first, what's going on?

Go, hurry

Okay

Miss, where to?

Keep driving

He's gone

Go

Miss, where do you want to go?

You're afraid that l won't pay you?

No

Take it

Go back to downtown, got it?

Okay...

We've arrived...

Here's the change

No need, keep it

How much can a taxi driver have? lt's not worth...

Stop talking, turn back

Alright

Stop the car

Robbery

Stop moving

Stand over there

This is a robbery, get down

Take the money, hurry, go

Hurry

Don't let him run

What's wrong with it, stopping the car in here?

l'll give him a ticket

Don't move

Robbing...

Hurry

Faster

Hear that? Faster

Faster

l don't know how to drive

There were 4 people altogether

3 were masked

He was pointing a gun at me

Money

Money

My money

Let's see if the news is on TV

There's a robbery at the Hang King Bank this afternoon

4 armed men wearing masks rushed into the bank

and took away more than $1 .8 million

The largest amount of money robbed this year!

Many bank staff were injured in resisting the robbers

The robbers jumped into a taxi

after the robbery

Our reporter is now interviewing the bank employees

There were 4 of them

3 of them wore masks

Detective

We hope that fellow citizens

can help the police in breaking the case

What you see now has been

recorded from the bank's closed circuit TV

during the robbery

The taxi driver's face was captured on the camera

That's good. He can take the blame

Hurry and pack up

We must leave after dark

There's a letter

Hurry...

Though the great task has been completed

remember we've still an important appointment tonight

There are a couple of photos enclosed here

Ma Sheung Loong

l believe you understand what l mean

Lin Ching Hang

What happened?

Are you the caretaker here?

Yes

Chen Guang robbed the bank, do you know about this?

Chen Guang robbed the bank? l don't think so

Can you guarantee that?

What have l to do with it....

His face was recorded clearly

by the bank's camera

Let him see it

Yes

Look, isn't this Chen Guang?

lt's him

Nothing

l said so early

Chen Guang's best friend To Fat

is not here yet. Why?

To Fat?

He wouldn't rob a bank

Rob the bank? Chen Guang robbed the bank?

l won't ever believe this

You are...

l won't ever believe this no matter what you say

Mr. To

Detective...our colleagues...

Ask them to leave

All of you may go now

Mr. To, you are a good friend of Chen Guang

l hope that you can co-operate with the police

let us know as soon as you have news from Chan

Alright

ls it alright now?

Alright

Sorry, l'm off now

Hurry

To Fat, are you crazy?

Chen Guang, you are crazy

Police are looking for you

You still wander around in here

Looking for me? You're mistaken

l was pushed by the 3 robbers

That's not what the police said

How can you explain this to them?

lf they can't find the 3 robbers

you'll be responsible for the crime

Then...what do you think?

l think you should hide somewhere

Hide? Till when?

Let's pray that the 3 robbers will be arrested soon

No, l must go to the police

and tell them the whole truth

Look

Chen Guang, l can't see you destroy yourself

lf you go to the police now

even if the matter is sorted out in a few days' time

l still think that you'd better...

Listen to me, stay away for a while

l'll take care of the rest

l know of a place where you can hide

l'm not worried about myself

lt's just Lai Ching...you've to tell her

No, women are unreliable

lf you refuse, l'll go myself

Alright...

But if anything happens in future

Don't blame me

This is it

Chen Guang is an honest person

l trust that he won't do such a thing

What do you know about that?

Do you think that bank robbers

...have marks on their heads?

l'll wait for him here

As you wish

You and Chen Guang are going to get married soon

ls that right?

Yes

Would it be because he's in need of money

that's why he robbed the bank?

Are you investigating the case, or making up a story?

Chen Guang won't do such a thing

Definitely not

Don't overreact

lt's no use for you to stand up for him

We have sufficient evidence

lf so, why come to me?

Lai Ching

Hello

Lai Ching, l've told you before that

Chen Guang is not a good man

Look, he has robbed the bank

Forget him

l'll take you to a movie, how's that?

Goodbye

Brother, try harder

Go, Chen Guang shouldn't have befriended you, go

Lai Ching...listen to me

You slapped too hard just now

lt was too light

Really?

Oh man, l didn't know you're so smart!

That's not bad

Just now they saw me being hit

they must think l hope...

Chen Guang would be caught

Lai Ching, l've come to tell you

...not to worry

Don't ask where he is, he'll be alright

You're so kind

Get on the car....

Drive

Faster

Someone's tailing you

Brother, the policeman is always following me

Have some fun with him

l won't dare do that...

if l have to make a living

You really believe that Chen Guang would rob a bank?

Alright, just drive on and let them follow

l'll find some men to help me out

Alright

What's wrong with him?

Come and help

Alright, no problem

Hurry

He is coming

What do you think you're doing?

This is no-entry, don't you know that?

This is not your private road, don't you know that?

What do you want?

Don't you know we are the police?

Policemen violating the law deserve heavier penalty

Don't you know that?

Let's go and have a look

Do you see that?

NO ENTRY

No entry

Don't you know English?

Right

This is a one-way road

Brother, English is the official language

Go back and have a look

Look at it carefully

Look at it carefully before you start driving

Chen Guang

Chen Guang, don't expose yourself

A plaincloth fellow has been stalking me the whole day

lf they see you

Where's Lai Ching?

She said she trusts you

Bad luck, it's all because l drove your car

How true!

l gave you the one on which l have

installed a special rear mirror

And that's how the problem started

Exactly

l wonder what good did it do!

To Fat, what did you say just now?

Nothing, l didn't say anything

Repeat what you said

l said...

l said that car has a special rear mirror

That's right, rear mirror

That guy, l recognize that belt

Watch carefully

Got it

What's that noise?

What is it?

Windows at the last room might have been left opened

Don't make a big thing out of it

Take us in

Where's the last room?

There

l've said that the windows were left opened

and you don't believe me

Don't point your gun at me, you scare me

Lai Ching

Ah Guang

Listen, l've put a photo

in your mail box

Make copies of it

Alright...

Give it to To Fat

Ask Fat to distribute them to day & night shift staff

lf they see those men and the woman

don't do anything, just remember their address

How are you?

l'm alright

l'll be alright as soon as the robbers are caught

These 2 are the bank robbers

Please look at them carefully

Please let me know as soon as you find them, thanks

Alright

103, over

l am 103, over

To Fat, the 2 men you are looking for are

crossing the harbour, seems they're going to Macau

Attention guys

Follow me to...

the Macau Ferry Pier, over

Got it, over

Tell the police to go to the Macau Pier immediately

Hurry, don't ask, hurry

No. 4, over

Yes, over

Pick up Chen Guang from the Kowloon Park and take him

to the Macau Ferry Pier immediately, over.

Got it, over

Hurry

Hurry...come over here

Don't let them escape

Chase...don't let them escape

Don't move

Don't move

Hit him

Yes, hurry...

Don't move

Don't move

Chen Guang

Don't worry, he knows kung fu

Be careful

What are you shouting at? Bitch

Be careful

Come on

Where are the other two? Speak.

Move aside.

Pull it up.

Detective, where are the other two?

Speak, where?

On the night of the crime...

four of us met at the mining field

Ma, why are you bringing us here?

To split the loot

Why here?

A friend is meeting...

us here

Who?

Earlier today a note was slipped under the door for us.

Who wrote it?

There's one thing l've not told you

Someone else was the mastermind of this robbery

He provided us with...

all the inside information of the bank

Then how much does he want to share?

We have agreed earlier

There're 4 of us, each will have a share

l want half of it

Brother Lin, you are early

Let me introduce, Sophia, Kwok Wan, Li Hung

This is Brother Lin

Lin Ching Hang

l might have met him at the bank before.

What do you say about

my getting half of the money?

Brother Ma, why didn't you tell us earlier?

Maybe he didn't intend to give me my share.

Brother Lin

Alright, no more nonsense

Now that l'm here

lt won't be that easy...

to cut me out of my share

l have photos of you three

lf l don't go back tonight

the police will get these photos tomorrow

Brother Lin, l didn't say you won't get your share

Alright, how are you going to split it?

5 shares at most, each will get one

No deal

Ma and l have agreed on splitting it half and half

That's not fair if you get half all by yourself

Don't forget that...

we fought for the money

Without my plan

you would never have succeeded

even if you paid with your lives

Brother Lin, they have indeed been working hard for it

Can you make a compromise?

Alright, l don't like beating round the bush

This is final

What we've got in hand
