With dignity, I write down

The poem of my life

Passion and love, Tears and attachments

Sincerity is the true meaning

Life: I devote it completely

Leaving behind the astonishing events

The hero with dignity

Bravely looking around the world like an awakening lion

Thrust forward!

For loss or gain, only my heart knows

Overcoming obstacles,

I want to write my name in the clouds!

Thrust forward!

For loss or gain, only my heart knows

Overcoming obstacles,

I want to fly in the clouds

Thrust forward!

For loss or gain, only my heart knows

Overcoming obstacles,

I want to be a hero standing tall!

We managed to put Chu Tu behind bars, but the operation was a costly one.

You destroyed the squatter village.

The Government had to rehouse the families and pay for the damages.

During the operation, you destroyed the whole shopping centre as well.

We paid well over a million for the chandelier alone.

The taxpayers know police work doesn't come cheap.

But they don't expect to pay for the cost of someone's heroism.

Why didn't you use the stairs? Did you have to destroy that chandelier?

The problem is that you're too agile for your own good.

You're right.

This force doesn't need superstars. We need disciplined policemen.

For putting Chu Tu away, I wasn't expecting a promotion.

Ka Kui, the operation against Chu Tu succeeded through team effort,

not just because of you.

You should be grateful that we didn't fire you.

And the bosses wanted you disciplined for holding me hostage.

- I managed to talk them out of it. - I'm very grateful.

I worry about your individualism, you're just a police officer.

As of today, you're back in uniform.

- You'll be assigned where needed. - You mean he'll be an errand boy?

I think you'll be very busy.

Geez! He's hired to give out tickets…

Are you as good at nabbing crooks as you are giving out tickets?

Calling all units.

There's been a serious road accident at the Industrial Park.

Traffic is at a standstill.

All units in the area, please respond.

May, go home. I'm working now.

Don't think of me as your girlfriend, rather a member of the public.

- And I want to talk to a policeman. - About what?

I think you look very smart in uniform.

- Stop it, miss, I'm on duty. - I've brought you a cold drink.

Thank you, sir.

- Thank you. - Thank you, sir.

- Miss, I can't drink here. - Go on, you need a break.

If I have a drink, I'll need the toilet soon.

Come on.

- Come on. - Miss, I'll get into trouble.

Hotshot Detective! How romantic! You still haven't been sacked?

You're lucky you're not in jail with Chu Tu.

In jail?

Three Swiss doctors said I had only three months to live.

It's called compassionate release.

Three months will pass quickly…

in the blink of an eye.

By the time you're dead, my boss might still be alive.

What you just said could be construed as a tiny threat.

Really? Sue me then. Watch your back!

Drive on.

Ka Kui?

- Ka Kui, Chu Tu is out of jail. - I know. So?

You already knew? That's good, then.

If you'd never nabbed a thief, who would you have to be scared of?

Just remember, there are 250,000 Royal Hong Kong Police at your back.

Uncle Biu, are there really 250,000 police in Hong Kong?

We're always recruiting new blood. Didn't you see our newspaper ad?

What are you waiting for? Go on patrol!

Hey, I've talked to Raymond. He said you could carry a gun, even after work.

- I'm very happy tonight. - The show and dinner were great.

- But you don't seem very happy. - Really? I am happy.

I wish you had enjoyed it as much as I did.

- Hey, are you worried about Chu? - No. But I'm just being careful.

- Maybe next week… - Hotshot Detective!

- Finished your date already? - What are you doing here?

I can park here, you can't give me a ticket.

Unit B on the second floor has good Feng Shui.

Nice place to live, right?

Go upstairs.

How did you know she lives here?

If you're willing to spend some money…

not only will you get an address…

but also benefit from immoral acts that people are willing to commit.

What do you mean?

There's a narrow stairwell in this building.

If there was a fire, it'd spread rapidly through the building.

Because of the narrow access, the fire brigade couldn't get in here.

You'd better keep a close eye on her, kid.

If her face was scarred or she got burnt by fire

… it wouldn't be good.

Bastard!

Oh, Hotshot Detective! I'm so happy!

Sorry.

Don't be. It's my fault really.

Policemen like me have lots of enemies. You face threats.

I'm not scared.

If you had no enemies, that would mean you'd never caught a thief.

Think you could stay somewhere else for a while?

Don't worry about me. They're just bluffing.

No. We'd just stand out while they stayed hidden.

OK, then. I'll move to my aunt's and hide out for a while.

Don't worry too much about it.

But if you'd dropped a vase on him, I'd be dead for sure.

May!

Auntie.

You're on your own? Where's Ka Kui?

He's still on duty.

It's OK, I can manage.

I'm not against you dating a policeman,

but I don't want him to spend too much time on his work.

He's stubborn, too.

But he's a good policeman.

That's why he has lots of enemies and you have to move back and forth.

Actually, I'm not afraid at all.

But I'm doing as I'm told, so he doesn't need to worry about me.

He ought to worry about you.

- Who are they? - It's those bad guys.

Isn't the Hotshot Detective here?

Wait for me in the restaurant.

We're leaving then.

- What do you want? - We have a score to settle.

I noticed you had luggage, so just wanted to see if you were running away.

- It's nothing to do with her. - You must be her auntie.

It's a real pleasure.

Bastard!

You call me a bastard? You're wrong!

I'm THE bastard among all the bastards!

- I'm not afraid of you. - Don't waste time with him. Let's go.

Auntie, why has your daughter fallen for a cop?

That could be dangerous.

Living on the 19th floor is dangerous, too.

If you slipped and fell, even superglue couldn't put you back together!

Hitting me?

Don't be like this.

Get her hand off me. Don't grab my hair.

- You bastard. - Let go!

You're hurting me.

Die!

Easy, she's just a girl. Let's go.

Damn your entire family! If you weren't a woman, I would kill you!

- Come on. - I won't forget this.

Are you OK?

Auntie!

Your work brought the bad guys here.

May was beaten because of you!

I've told you not to go out with him.

Did John Ko attack you?

I started hitting him first.

He just hit me back.

And they knocked me down.

My backside still hurts. I can't sit down now.

How did they know you'd be here?

They followed her. Checking if she was running away.

They're having tea across the street.

I wonder what's next.

Ka Kui, don't do anything foolish!

He should go and scold them.

If it's as easy as all that, then I'll be relieved.

Idiot! You want to get killed?

What else are you up to besides bullying women?

Bullying women? It's my favourite hobby.

Kill the bastard!

You know the law, don't you?

Even though he threatened your girlfriend, you arrested him without evidence.

- Do you realise you're a police officer? - I couldn't stand it anymore.

That's not a good reason!

He reacted like anyone else would.

He's not anyone else. He's a police officer.

What you've done is disgraceful! It's a disgrace to the force.

I don't think so. If a policeman fails to respond to a personal threat,

that's a disgrace to the law!

You just want attention, so we won't forget you arrested Chu Tu.

You tell me! How can I explain this to the chief?

I have the solution to that.

I resign.

You think that will solve the problem?

Why not? This is probably the best solution.

I'll leave now.

Thank you for your support in the past.

Goodbye.

Ka Kui.

It might be good for you to resign.

You can find another job with a bright future.

Bye-Bye.

I will.

You think you can do anything because you're cops.

Don't you know the law?

You can beat me up just like that! Even kill me then!

Shut up and sign this.

Screw your mum! I'm not signing anything!

I'll sue you! I'll sue your pants off!

I've got lots of money. I'll get a lawyer. I'm not afraid of you!

What?

Don't!

See? You saw this officer try to assault me.

Beat me to death if you dare!

This eye here was burst by him! Now I'm blind!

You'll pay for that. You would dare to beat me up here?

Come on. What are you waiting for?

Come on. I'm going to sue you. You're going to jail.

These youngsters have no patience.

Uncle Biu, what were you thinking? I wanted you to make him stay.

You should have said so!

I thought you meant throw him out of here.

Now that I know what that gesture means, I'll remember it.

Ka Kui, what's the matter?

You don't want me to be a policeman, do you?

Of course I do. I'm proud of you.

What do I have to show for all my time as a cop? Just enemies.

Ka Kui, that means you've done your job well.

If a cop has no enemies, he hasn't caught any crooks.

I'm glad they're out to frighten me.

It proves that you're a good cop.

You really know how to comfort me.

But I've had enough.

I resigned today.

- Really? - Are you disappointed?

You're really quitting?

I'm so happy!

Calm down.

What's with her?

May, all these years I haven't treated you as well as I should have.

It's my fault.

I have three month's holiday. Let's go somewhere else to relax!

Ka Kui, you really mean it? Where to, then?

- Bali. - Good idea!

We haven't travelled in years.

Right, so let's go.

It always feels good to fly on a plane.

- Thank you. That's $5,540, please. - OK.

I'll see you outside.

- Do you take credit card? - Sure.

Here's our catalogue, sir.

OK. Thank you.

What clothes should I take?

It's hot in Bali, you won't need any.

You wish!

Air travel makes me so happy.

I just hope they won't rip us off.

They're a big company. They're trustworthy.

It's all paid for now. Let's cross our fingers.

Hey, Fay!

- Long time no see! Is this your area? - Yes.

- What's up? - We've received a bomb threat here.

A bomb threat here?

Yeah, we don't know how to handle it. Can you help us out?

- All right, then. - Thanks.

Ka Kui!

I'll just take a quick look.

Brother Sung.

Just in time.

We got a call about a bomb.

Sure it's not a hoax?

I don't think he was kidding. He told us to clear the area.

Said it'll explode after ten minutes.

Have you told the manager?

The manager said he's nuts.

OK, start clearing the building now.

There are too many people.

If it's a hoax, who'll be to blame?

I'm used to getting an earful.

If it is real, we'll endanger lives.

That's true. What do we do?

Consider it real.

Clear the building. Call headquarters.

Where's the fire alarm?

Over there.

Ka Kui.

We'll leave after setting the alarm. Come on!

- Your baton. - But…

We'll take responsibility together.

Follow me.

What's going on?

Don't worry.

Hey pal, don't leave yet! I already wrote up your order!

Have they paid?

- What's going on? - It's nothing. Don't go, miss!

What should we do? They're not taking any notice.

Ka Kui!

Hey, don't just stand there. Go on!

Your attention please.

Evacuate the building.

Everybody please leave immediately.

There's afire in the building.

Please leave now.

Please leave in an orderly manner.

Everybody outside.

Be careful.

What's going on? Why is the alarm ringing?

What about our business?

- Fay. - What's up?

Get them out of here.

This is for your own safety. Go now!

What about you?

I won't be long. You go first.

Check the building.

We can't keep doing business like this. Don't you agree?

- Who's in charge? - You talk to them.

Please leave now. The police will take care of it.

Ka Kui. Ka Kui!

Don't worry, I have to finish up here. You go home first.

Hello, sir.

Who claimed there's a bomb here?

We received a call but we didn't know if it was a hoax.

Who set off the alarm?

It was me, sir.

The rest of you may leave.

On what basis did you do it?

Sir, when I was in the Police Academy,

I was taught that public safety comes first,

so I set off the alarm.

Do you think you're indispensable?

Superintendent, there's no fire,

but your men cleared the building.

Right. The Bomb Disposal Unit is coming.

You won't be needed now.

Right. I hope this isn't a hoax.

Same here.

Raymond, they want to see the head man.

Shall I go?

- Where's the Bomb Disposal Unit? - On their way.

What a mess.

Did I do the right thing?

How would I know? Never done it myself.

Since it's too late for that now, let's say it was the right thing.

Tell them to leave.

You can go back in very soon.

My ball!

When can we go back in?

- Now what? - Very soon.

Here's your ball, kiddo.

Ready?

The Bomb Disposal Unit is here.

If they don't find anything, the boss will blow a fuse.

Uncle Biu, you think I want this…

Well, this…

Red alert! All units move in.

Put out the fire! Put out the fire!

I suppose the good news is nobody got hurt.

What are the losses?

The insurance will cover it.

I'm more worried about the damage to our image.

I've asked the press to cooperate, and I'm sure they will.

But who is bearing such a grudge against our company?

It may not be that complicated.

It could be someone who's mentally disturbed.

There's a man on the line, sir.

- He says he planted the bomb. - Have it put through.

Put him through.

Hello? Hold on.

Sir, we planted the bomb in your shopping centre.

We want $10 million.

Pay up or your other properties will be next.

Let me talk to him.

We can discuss this, sir. $10 million is not a small amount of money.

We'll need to call a board meeting.

You've got 24 hours. Don't call the police.

- What do we do, then? - Must be some kind of hoax.

Yes. So what do we do?

Call the police.

We pay enough taxes. The police should do something for us.

- Get me through to the chief. - Yes.

Raymond, you were extremely lucky.

It's a miracle that no one was hurt in the explosion.

Thank God for that.

And the Chu case… well done!

- Thank you. But it wasn't just me. - That's right.

Raymond, you've proved yourself.

You should handle this case. Do you agree?

- Sure. - Of course.

Uncle Biu…

This is a very tough case.

That's why they gave it to us.

Who in our department do you think can solve it?

You're the only one I can think of.

Keep thinking.

And it's definitely not me.

Maybe we could bring back somebody who's on leave.

Do you mean Chan Ka Kui?

He has good experience.

I don't know.

He's unorthodox, impulsive.

He'll only give us trouble. We have to bear the responsibility.

He's a little bit rash, but he does good work.

I don't agree.

But if you don't mind taking the heat, you go and find him.

Want to trick me?

- Over there. - Here?

Fasten your seat belt, please.

I forgot the sunscreen!

Buy it when we get there.

Did you get your passport when you were younger?

Connie, put out a call for Detective Chan Ka Kui.

Sure.

Attention please.

Will Mr. Chan Ka Kui…

Let me see. No, don't look!

- It's cute. - It's horrible.

… Mr. Chan Ka Kui, please contact us.

That's you. Yeah.

- What's up? - I don't know.

I'll check it out.

- Are you Mr. Chan? - Yeah.

I'm afraid there seems to be a problem with your passport.

A problem with my passport?

It'll just be a quick check.

What's going on?

I'll be back right away.

Hurry back!

So it's you guys.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

What is it? I have a plane waiting.

Here's the situation.

It seems that the bombing case has become a blackmail case,

and it's a very tough one.

- What's that to me? - This case is a real challenge.

Raymond was hoping…

I was hoping that you might cancel your holiday.

No! I've already boarded the plane.

And I've quit.

I know how you feel.

You've been under a lot of pressure lately.

- But running away is no solution. - I'm not running away.

He said he's not running away, Uncle Biu.

Raymond is a great admirer of your abilities.

I don't have any abilities. I'm too impulsive.

Impulsive? More a man of action.

If only I could control my actions.

A true man of action is one who acts upon instinct.

I think the police force needs men with discipline. Not instinctive men.

Instinctive men have to be unconventional,

even at the cost of discipline.

If you did everything by the book, no case would ever get solved.

- Am I right? - Absolutely.

I'd better get back on board.

You're right.

Goodbye.

How much is the ransom?

Ten million. That's all we know.

- Do we have any suspects? - Not a clue.

Do you think these people are insane?

Why are you asking me? I don't know.

Have you traced the dynamite?

- Why should we trace the dynamite? - Yes. Why?

Simple. Dynamite is a controlled substance.

You either smuggle it in or you steal it from a local company.

He's right. We hadn't thought of that.

We must find their bomb factory before the company pays the ransom.

If we do that, we can foil their plans.

How is it you always solve problems so easily?

You're the one who's made for this case.

You're in charge.

I've got a plane to catch.

Wait! Ka Kui.

Bali's not going anywhere, you can go there any time.

But this bomb case won't wait.

Go there next time. OK?

I'd better talk to May first.

Hurry up, then.

Hurry up!

- Miss! - Yes, sir?

- My plane… - It just took off.

It's taken off!

You've missed your flight!

Why is the flight so punctual?

I still have May's passport!

Damn! What a mess!

Now what?

Uncle Biu, we're short of time.

- What's happening? - I ate something bad.

- That way, sir. - Thank you.

Excuse me. We're police officers. We're here to see Mr. Fung.

- 30th floor. - Thank you.

Bugging devices.

Be careful, Nixon lost his job because of one of these.

If we want to solve the case, we have to know our targets well.

We're counting on you. Put them away.

Miss Wong, there are two police officers here.

- Where's the bathroom? - On your right.

Thanks.

25 please.

24 please.

Wait!

Uncle Biu, I'm really worried about May.

I'll call Jakarta Airport as soon as I get back to the office.

Uncle Biu.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Haven't you got any manners?

Let's use the others.

Detective Sergeant Chan to see Miss Wong.

- Please wait. - Thank you.

- Ka Kui. - Uncle Biu.

I succeeded in training you to take the blame again.

- Even so, you shouldn't have done that. - I…

Gentlemen.

I'm Detective Cheung, this is Sergeant Chan. We made an appointment with…

- Cheung sir, Chan sir, please follow me. - We're…

I know. Mr. Fung is busy now, but he's signed the papers.

Excuse me.

- Excuse me, where's the toilet? - Down the corridor.

Here, sir.

I'm so sorry.

It's OK. Where's your friend?

He had a sudden urge.

There's the chairman.

That site is worth three billion. There would be a profit.

Yes, Mr. Chairman?

- Detective Chan is here. - Thank you.

Thanks for all your help.

You're developing the new properties very quickly.

Please sit.

Directors, managers, and department heads, welcome.

I've called this meeting to review the performance

of our property portfolio over the last six months,

and to set the sales target for the next year.

You may all know that since the stock market collapse last year,

the Hang Seng Index has risen 66%.

Let me show you the performance of the major blue chip shares.

However, given the performance of the bank and property sectors,

the outlook of the stock market for the next six months remains uncertain.

In situations like this,

small investors are likely to put their money in property.

So we have to accelerate the pace of our new housing developments.

Miss, you're very pretty.

If someone asks the chairman for this, it's $500 to get it back.

Really?

Yeah. Bye-bye.

- What happened? - It's a meeting.

- Did you plant the bugs? - Sure.

- And the desk? - All done.

- Was it easy? - He didn't object.

- What did they say? - Something about houses.

Buying houses?

- Where are you going? - I'll take the next one.

May's here.

May, you're back!

May…

You're really something!

Let me explain.

Chan Ka Kui, you didn't want me to come back!

Tricked me onto the plane, then you left and took my passport!

When I got there, I couldn't do anything.

Before I was sent back here, they detained me for ten hours in a cell!

Why should I keep my voice down?

When you take your dog for a walk, do you not take him home afterwards?

You treat me worse than a dog!

May, they're watching us.

What are you staring at?

This is none of your business!

I want you to tell me in front of everyone what you think I am!

What the hell do you take me for?

You're my girlfriend!

Your girlfriend?

Open up! Open up!

If that's true, why treat me this way?

You even treat strangers better than your girlfriend.

Let me tell you…

… it's over between us!

Chan Ka Kui, I hate you!

Uncle Biu, did you send that telegram for me?

I was going to do it after I left the toilet.

You've ruined my life!

May!

Go away or I'll run you over.

- Go away! - Don't be childish!

Don't grab my bag! Go away!

Don't even touch me. Go away. Leave me alone.

Let me explain.

I don't want to know.

I've nothing else to say to you.

May!

May, are you all right?

Stay away from me. Don't touch my motorbike.

Keep away. I don't want you anywhere near me.

- Let me explain. - Keep away.

Why won't you help me?

Just keep away from me. I never want to see you again.

May.

Nothing to see here! Get back to work. Get Ka Kui in here.

Ka Kui, the boss wants to see you.

I'm sorry, sir.

It's all right.

Do you want me to call May to explain?

I don't think it would help.

No need to explain! That's how I handle my wife.

If a man's not at home, it's obvious he's working.

Excuse me, I have to go to the toilet.

Don't pay any attention to his chauvinism. Go and get changed.

May…

We have nothing to talk about. I'm leaving.

Can I walk you home?

No thanks.

Don't be foolish!

No, I won't.

Get me, it's me you want. Don't be foolish.

- You're in this together. - Don't try anything.

I'll shoot you dead!

I really had you going! I got you good!

Ka Kui!

I've found it.

Hotshot Detective… Looks like you're outnumbered.

If I knew this, I wouldn't need to bring all these men to serve you.

I'm flattered.

It's my boss that told me to teach you a lesson.

He wants you ruined, and I have to earn my pay.

But I don't need to dirty my hands. My men can take care of you.

Get on with it.

We'll give you a chance.

If you apologise to Mr. Ko now, we won't break both of your legs.

We'll just break one of them.

Cut the bullshit! Shoot me if you dare!

It's a serious crime to kill a cop.

My boss wants you ruined.

Breaking a few limbs off should do the trick.

Get him!

Go!

There he is. Beat him up!

Go on, finish him off. Get up.

Move over. Let me drive.

I'll have you paralysed for good!

It wasn't my fault! I was paid to do it.

Keep away or I'll shoot!

Shoot me!

- I'll shoot. - Shoot here!

It's not my fault.

It's not… It's not my fault.

Next time I'll beat you to death!

It's not my fault!

May…

Are you OK?

I'm all right.

You'd better be careful.

Why did you chase him? That was dangerous.

I wanted to make things up to you.

If it had been acid in that pistol and not ink…

I'd be scarred for life.

Maybe they wanted to distract you and then kidnap me.

Then what would happen?

Ka Kui, I want my boyfriend to be gentle, not a savage.

Do you understand?

Come in.

"Police Detective in Park Rumpus." Who was that?

Look!

I'll ask the surveillance team.

ACTIVE-DUTY POLICEMAN INVOLVED IN 10-MAN PARK BRAWL

It was me. Sorry, sir.

I know Chu wants revenge, but don't take the law into your own hands.

Sorry, sir.

Anything I can do?

No, thanks. I think they're just bluffing.

I really don't want it to escalate.

All right, but be careful.

Now we've got a surveillance team.

They're very good. Go and talk to them.

Did he give you an earful? Did he…?

Let's go over there.

He just wants to help.

How can somebody show off if they don't have an audience?

Sir!

Let me introduce you.

This is Detective Chan Ka Kui. Detective Ng, Detective Mui.

Hello.

You guys introduce yourselves.

This is the Special Tactical Unit.

Please take a seat.

They have great expertise in tracking targets.

You think this will be useful for the case?

Because we don't even know who did it.

That's easy.

Follow anyone suspicious, and then you'll know.

Follow the suspects.

Then we can find the their hiding place for making bombs.

We could follow them during the transaction, then arrest them.

- That simple? - It's that simple, yes.

Good. I like that you have faith in this.

I hope you have a smooth collaboration.

Detective Ng, could I have a word with you?

There will be room for you soon.

Go.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Detective Chan. - Yes.

Why were you shaking your head?

I was shaking my head to say… you guys are the best!

Anything yet?

Well, Fung said his shares will go up.

We can't afford to buy anyway.

And his girlfriend is a top model!

Focus on your work.

I'll take it. You go and call May.

Go on.

Hey! Ka Kui! Listen.

The board has considered your demands,

and they have agreed to pay.

Cut the bullshit. Do you have the money?

We don't have it all. $10 million is a lot of money.

Trace it.

Tai Po district.

Check it out.

He's on Ting Kok Road.

HQ, calling all foot patrols. Are there any units on Ting Kok Road, over?

Are there any units on Ting Kok Road, over?

This is PC 12674 on Ting Kok Road, over.

PC 12674,

check anybody leaving a phone box in the area.

You called the police? Are you stalling for time?

No, we didn't call the police.

Now we want 20 million.

20 million? That's impossible.

No negotiation.

Wait!

This is PC 12674.

Speak!

I think I've got a suspect.

Be careful. He's very dangerous.

He could be armed.

Keep everything low key.

Excuse me. You're supposed to use the pedestrian crossing.

- Go on. - Sir, give me a chance.

Can I see your ID card?

Calling HQ…

PC 12674, do you copy?

An officer needs assistance on Ting Kok Road.

I'm sorry, he's not in here.

Don't be sorry.

Your gun got stolen, but it wasn't your fault.

How long have you been in uniform?

About two months.

Then you're excused.

But I will be in trouble for losing my gun.

Will I ever get promoted?

Don't worry.

As long as you learn from the experience, it's OK.

- It happens to every cop. - It won't happen again.

Do you think you'd recognise him?

Sure.

Boss, phone for you.

I could do with someone like you on the team.

I'll see to it.

Thank you. Can you file this for me?

- Hello. - It's Joker.

- Go ahead. - I got news.

What news?

A guy called Crazy Fai sells dynamite. 9:00pm, Hoi Wong Bar.

- Do you know what we'll do next? - No.

Really?

- What do you want? - Are you Brother Fai? I want to talk.

Do I know you?

No, but you will.

All right. Let's go over there.

Enjoy your meal.

- I didn't ask, what's your name? - Lo Cho Luk.

What do you want?

I want some of your fish bombs.

Fish bombs?

Brother Fai, a friend referred me.

- What are you buying a fish bomb for? - Fishing.

You don't look like a fisherman.

Did I mention it's for business purposes?

There's money to be made. I'll get you in on it.

All right, I need to speak to someone.

It's not my stuff. Don't go away.

Thanks.

Sorry, he's out of stock, but he'll call me back.

Stay here, I'll be back when I've finished.

OK.

Hey, pal. Stand up.

- What's the matter? - CID. On your feet.

Hands up!

- I only came here for a drink. - A drink?

We heard you were dealing contraband.

What are you looking at?

Hold it!

Throw me your gun with the holster. Quick!

Stand over there.

Friend, don't do anything stupid.

Move! Where are they?

Come out!

Get lost.

You bastard! If you didn't want to sell me the goods—

Help! Help me!

Please, that's enough. I'll die if you keep hitting.

Why did you do it?

I called 2 CID officers on you,

to make sure you weren't a spy.

I can get what you need.

Where is it?

Have you got the money?

It's cash on delivery.

Keep a lookout.

Is it good stuff?

It's from the quarries.

Got any more?

Yeah, plenty.

There's enough to blow up the Empire State Building.

I just met him! I've never seen him before!

Do you think you can get away?

Have a cup of coffee.

Have a cigarette.

Two pieces of sugar?

Yes.

Is the AC temperature OK?

It's fine. I'm comfortable.

You call this an interrogation?

You seem comfortable. Will you cooperate with us now?

Cooperate?

You want me to die?

If you cooperate, you can walk out of here.

We'll keep everything secret.

If need be, we'll keep you under protection.

If you three could protect me for the rest of my life,

then I would consider it.

Don't talk that way.

Even if we were to release you now,

we might, say, "find" drugs on you after you were gone,

or maybe "discover" you've been molesting young girls.

Have you had good results this way?

Sure. It never fails.

Whatever! Just charge me with anything that pleases you.

I've seen a lot worse than this.

But I'll play along…

There's no need for a sudden change of attitude…

Never seen women beating someone up?

No! Stop! I've had enough.

No, please!

You've faced worse, huh?

Aren't you going to play along?

I'll sue you bitches!

Say that again.

Guns have a habit of going off when you least expect it.

Nobody will care if you die.

Yeah! Someone's stealing a gun!

No! I'll talk.

- Why didn't you say so? - Come on! Have a cup of coffee!

- Cigarette? - No.

Hey, we got peeping toms here.

Show's over.

I sold some explosives lately.

One buyer is a fisherman.

I've known him a long time.

He bought it to blast reef fish.

The other guy buys my stuff to refill empty bullet shell cases

so he can sell them.

But he's only bought a few.

The third guy's name is Polar Bear. He's a big-time dealer.

He usually hangs out at the Yaumatei Pool Hall.

Taxi.

Target's in a taxi. It's DP5608.

Got it, Big Mouth?

Taxi number DP5608, heading north to Kok Road.

Copy, Big Mouth. I see target DP5608.

It's headed to Tsim Sha Tsui Metro Station.

All copy. All copy.

Renew info. Get to Tsim Sha Tsui Metro Station.

Target on metro heading to Kwun Tong.

Roger.

- Stay there. - Yes.

Target off metro.

Target in taxi CW721, heading to industrial area.

Target out of the car, heading to Yat Sing Street.

Copy. Over. Sun, your team leaves first.

Car to Yat Sing Street.

Start supervision. Wait for orders.

Yes.

I'll take a look.

Hey, buddy, where is Pak Lok Street?

- No idea. - Thanks.

Someone carrying two bags heading your way.

Hung.

You went shopping?

- Were you followed? - Not me, but perhaps you were.

Come on. Open up.

There are three of them.

Detective Chan, it's him. These must be the guys.

Three voices.

I doubt they've called the cops.

Louder, let me hear it.

The quicker the better…

Figured out a way to collect the money yet?

No problem with that.

Then we can make the phone call.

Is this OK? Check that we can't be bugged.

Find a place at Tsim Sha Tsui. Make sure everything is fine.

Don't waste time. Get going.

Three people.

- They're coming out. - Roger.

- You don't deserve this. - You don't!

Check the plates and follow the van.

You stay here. I'll go and take a look.

Right. Let's go.

We're starting the car.

They've stopped.

Get in.

We lost them.

- Ka Kui, where are you going? - To take a look.

- Be careful. - I will.

I see.

Chan sir, they've shaken us off.

Don't worry, they'll come back. Call them off.

Come back here.

Don't shoot! It's me!

Be quiet.

You scared me.

- I fell over. - Someone's up there.

Hold it!

Turn around.

We're police! What are you doing here?

Hey, the guy must be deaf and mute.

Hey, did you see three men come through here just a while ago?

You deal with him.

Do you work here?

Do you sleep here?

Hey, I can't deal with him.

He's gesturing like crazy. I'm not sure what he means.

You deal with him.

Take him down to the station.

It's OK. You're coming with me, just for questions. Come on.

No need for cuffs.

Why do you collect such things?

He's deaf.

Are all these toys in here yours?

- Freeze! - He can't hear you!

After him!

Chan sir! Are you all right?

Split up and look for a deaf-mute guy! Be careful!

Yes, sir!

I didn't know he could fight.

Neither did I. Go and find my gun.

OK.

If we can manage to finance the buyout of Indian Ocean Bank,

it would be a welcome addition to our portfolio.

Mr. Fung, telephone.

I said no calls.

It's the same man who called last time.

Jimmy.

Excuse me.

You lied! You called the cops.

No, you must be mistaken. We haven't!

Cut the crap. We knew you'd go to the cops.

To make you abandon that idea,

we will demonstrate our power to you tomorrow at 12:00.

We won't waste time bargaining with you ever again.

After 12:00 tomorrow, if you decide it's prudent to pay the $20 million,

place an ad in the name of your Zhiye Group

in one of the major newspapers the day after tomorrow.

Call Mr. Lam!

After 12:00 tomorrow, if you decide it's prudent to pay the $20 million,

place an ad in the name of your Zhiye Group

in one of the major newspapers the day after tomorrow.

Again.

Where was the call from?

It was a modified mobile phone, so we couldn't trace it.

We knew you'd go to the cops.

To make you abandon that idea,

we will demonstrate our power to you tomorrow at 12:00.

We won't waste time bargaining with you ever again.

Don't worry, they're bluffing.

We've sent extra officers to protect your buildings.

You'll be fine.

Listen up! We must show zero tolerance to these outrageous threats.

Yes, sir!

Brother Fay!

Long time no see.

Brother Hung.

This is Ken. He'd like a word with you.

- I didn't snitch on you! - Didn't snitch, huh?

After you got caught, the cops came to our door.

If you didn't snitch, they wouldn't let you go so easily.

Because they couldn't keep me with no evidence.

Honestly, I didn't snitch!

Whether you snitched or not, it doesn't really scare us.

- Where are we going? - You think you have a choice?

- Miss Wong. - What is it?

- We've checked the mail. - Thanks.

Someone's giving you flowers.

Who delivered it?

Don't know. Someone special, maybe?

If you don't know, who would?

Thanks.

Plant this bomb and we're even.

You have no choice. Hold on to that thing.

- Where shall I put it? - I'll tell you later.

Let's go.

Roger. Keep up the alert.

Ready.

I'm a cop. What's this?

I'm a cop.

ID card.

- What? - Nothing.

Nothing.

Excuse me, CID. May I see your bag?

What?

Nothing.

OK.

What's that?

Excuse me. CID. May I see your bag?

The red bag.

Excuse me. CID.

Make it quick.

- It should be fine. - Here's the mail, sir.

Roger.

Do you think it's a bluff?

I hope so, but we can't be sure.

OK. Keep in touch.

Yes?

Ask her to wait a minute.

Roger.

Ka Kui, May's downstairs. She wants to talk to you urgently.

Thanks.

What's the matter?

This is for you. Goodbye.

May. You came all this way to give me this?

It's important, so keep it safe. Bye.

Oh, yeah, where's the scooter?

We didn't get along, so I sold it.

I'll follow her.

I have my backup units in position.

Relax, I think they're bluffing.

Then we should depend on the police.

All right.

What's going on?

Get an ambulance.

Get the fire extinguisher.

Call Mr. Lam.

How could this happen?

- Go and investigate. - Stay calm.

Don't panic. Ka Kui, come with me.

Call the fire department. Come on!

Bring a fire extinguisher.

Come on. Put the fire out first.

Come on, get moving.

- Is the ambulance here? - No.

Go call them!

We need more help.

- Phone, sir. - Uncle Biu, you take the phone call.

Ka Kui, meet me upstairs.

What the hell are the police doing?

What's going on?

The President's secretary got her arm blown off.

THE ZHIYE GROUP, TOGETHER WITH EVERY HONG KONG CITIZEN,

STRIVES TO PRESERVE THE BEAUTY OF HONG KONG

- How's the secretary? - The surgery went well.

The doctor said she has a 95% chance of recovery.

Her facial injuries will require skin from her leg.

So we'll wait and see.

They decided to pay up.

What am I going to tell Raymond?

Uncle Biu, that's the way it goes.

We said it'd be a tough case.

We're dealing with an organised bunch of criminals here.

I wish they'd blown me up instead, rather than everyone being in misery now.

But don't worry.

If they come and collect the money, I'm sure we'll get them.

If I tell Raymond that, he'll say I'm clueless about what to do.

What's the point of such empty words?

Sir!

They've decided to pay up.

Now what do I tell the Chief?

That's the way it goes.

We said it'd be a tough case.

We're dealing with an organised bunch of criminals here.

I wish they'd blown me up instead,

rather than everyone being in misery now.

But don't worry.

If they come and collect the money, I'm sure we'll get them.

You are clueless about what to do. What's the use of empty words?

Something's up. Raymond's in trouble.

That's the way it goes.

We said it'd be a tough case.

We're dealing with an organised bunch of criminals here.

I wish they'd blown me up instead,

rather than everyone being in misery now.

But don't worry.

If they come and collect the money, I'll arrest them.

I understand your situation, and I accept your explanation.

I just hope you will solve this case fast.

You come, too.

Why the long face?

Did you and Ka Kui have a fight?

We didn't. From now on we won't…

Hello?

Hold on a second. Hold this.

Ka Kui, telephone.

Put it through.

Right. Put it through.

- Hello? - Ka Kui!

May's been abducted!

When did this happen?

We'd just left the shop, and someone lifted her into a van.

Do you know who they were?

I don't know. But it might be your enemies.

Could it be those thugs again?

Chu Tu?

Ka Kui? Hello? Ka Kui!

- Ka Kui! What's up? - May's been abducted by Chu Tu!

Ka Kui!

- What happened? - May's been abducted.

Hey, don't pretend to be dead! Sign this cheque first! Our brothers…

- Please don't bother the patient! - Let me finish.

We served you loyally and deserve the money!

Are you planning on being buried with the cash?

Chu Tu!

- Chu Tu! - Hey, you!

Chu Tu!

Where's May?

I don't know. I didn't do anything. It's him.

Where's May?

Sir, you can't treat the patient like this! Put him down!

Talk! Where did you take her?

- It wasn't me. - Who was it, then?

I was very nasty to you before… but now I'm sick and penniless.

Why would I hound you now?

If he had money, he'd spend it on treatment.

It has nothing to do with us. He made your life miserable.

We only did it for the money.

Then who could it be?

There's a phone over there.

Hey, old man, don't die before you sign this!

You!

- Will you bother me again? - He's nearly dead, so I won't.

If he wasn't, then I might…

Who's calling 1478?

Ka Kui!

May!

You recognise her voice.

Come to Hung Fung Industrial Building at Sun Fa Road.

Who is this? What do you want?

Come alone or pick up her body.

Hello?

Hello?

Sun Fa Road.

May!

Are you all right?

Don't shout.

Are you all right?

I'm OK. Why have you kidnapped her?

"Ka Kui, by the time you read this letter…"

Stop!

- "I've decided we should be apart." - Please, stop!

"I don't think I'll see you again."

Hey, isn't that nice?

How sad when lovers go their separate ways…

There's more.

Bastard!

"When we met, I thought you liked your job very much"

"and you'd be my Mr. Right."

"Now I realise the only thing that matters in your life is your work."

"I tell myself what made me fall in love with you…"

"… is also what makes me want to leave you."

Yeah, why? Why did you break up?

"You told me you didn't want me involved with your work,"

"but I didn't mind."

"What I did mind, though, is that you never spent enough time with me."

"Being with you was the happiest time of my life."

"But when you weren't there, it was the worst time of my life."

That's not right.

"If I didn't leave you,"

"I'd spend my life waiting for you to come home!"

Why won't you stop?

She's crying!

So is he.

Keep reading, go on.

"… because you can never stop being a policeman."

A policeman who never stops.

We're in trouble.

"I think it's the right decision."

"Please forgive me for making such a selfish choice. May."

What do you want?

We want you to help us get rich.

You must have heard the Zhiye Group was blackmailed.

The hardest part of the job is the pick-up.

You'll collect the ransom for us.

No way!

You don't have a choice.

Ah Ti, he says no.

I think you'll enjoy this.

Stop!

Don't!

Stop it! Please!

Stop it!

Please stop it!

Ka Kui, are you hurt?

I'm OK.

So you want to play the hero?

Now it's your turn.

Please don't!

You rotten swine!

Nice one, Ah Ti!

Kill me if you've got the guts.

So tough!

Really? Let's see if his girl is tough, too.

What are you doing?

How's that? How's that?

Stop it!

Will you do it? Speak up!

I beg you, let her go. I'll do anything!

In that case, there's no reason for us to let her go.

What do you want me to do?

Collect the money for us, and we'll let her go.

You don't have any choice.

OK.

Great.

I advise you to keep it on.

Break one wire, and the whole thing blows.

The same thing happens if I press this button.

You'd better be careful from now on.

Ka Kui.

Be careful.

I'll come back for you.

Ready?

- He's on the line. - Trace the call!

I'll get Uncle Biu.

Is the money ready? I'll send someone to collect in 10 minutes.

It's ready.

- Did you call the cops? - No.

Where's Ka Kui?

I can't find him.

How could he be so irresponsible?

We can't wait. Only move in if you're sure!

Let's get ready!

You'll have 15 minutes to get back here again.

No tricks.

If we don't get our money, your vest will go "bang!"

We'll be waiting.

Get going.

Good luck!

Yes, gentlemen?

We're police investigators.

- Mr. Fung. - Chairman.

So you've decided to pay?

How did you know? Have a seat.

You promised to let us bug the phones.

We've been listening to your calls.

It's a shame you can't deal with our blackmail problem as effectively.

We're ready this time. Once they pay, we jump into action.

I hope you won't do anything to make matters worse.

Paying them will only encourage them.

You couldn't help. We could only depend on ourselves.

Ka Kui, what's the matter?

Ka Kui!

Ka Kui!

- Ka Kui! - Out of my way.

Let me go!

Get out of my way!

Ka Kui!

Sir, you…

Ka Kui.

Ka Kui, where have you been?

Never mind. I'm here to collect the money.

Collect the money?

- Is he your man? - Yes, he is.

Ka Kui, what's going on?

We don't have much time. The money!

- What are you doing? - Ka Kui!

Move, and I'll shoot you, as per my duty.

Don't shoot.

Raymond, don't!

Don't push me.

If you shoot, you and Uncle Biu will die!

All of you will die!

If one wire breaks, the whole thing will explode!

Ka Kui, what's going on?

Calm down! Let's work this out.

If I don't leave here in 10 minutes, it will go off.

I don't have time!

Let him go.

Attention all units, don't stop Ka Kui when you see him.

Get out of my way!

Don't follow me.

Get out of my way!

- He's back. - Right.

Looks like he was followed. Go! Drive.

Hey, tell him to move up.

Give me the case.

The CID is following! I'll shake them off and come back.

Trust me!

Are the cops behind us?

Stay back! Don't come near!

Why did you stop here?

- What are you doing? - What's going on?

A bomb's about to blow. Run!

A bomb! Run!

Hey, there's no cops!

I'll blow him to bits.

Hey, are you crazy? The money will be gone as well!

The deaf kid said you can't get a radio signal in the tunnel.

What now?

- We've got the girl. Don't worry. - Let's go.

If anything happens, kill her.

Where is May?

Where have you taken her?

Look, he's back.

I told you he wouldn't play tricks.

May!

Quiet.

Freeze! You're under arrest.

Arrest? How can you arrest us?

Come on, come here and cuff us then.

Don't mess around, or I'll shoot you one by one.

One by one? Can you shoot that fast?

How about one shot for all three?

Don't mess around.

It's better to spend 8-10 years inside, and come out reformed,

than to die today.

Better to die than to live as a pauper. We're ready.

We want to be rich.

There's no shame in wanting wealth. But your way is wrong.

So what is right and what is wrong, Mr. Wise Guy?

If you contribute to our society, you will get back what you earn.

That's the way to get rich.

You'd have a whole new outlook. That's what you should do.

But what you have done now has hurt society.

- This benefits no-one. - What does that mean?

Other than you guys, who thinks you're doing the right thing?

Who would think highly of your purpose?

You are right.

But that's the problem.

You are indeed quite right.

We might try your way if we had certain opportunities.

But we don't want to go to jail.

We don't want to be punished.

Don't push me!

Run! This is a fireworks factory.

- May! - I'm over here!

May, are you all right?

Ka Kui, be careful!

Good work!

Ka Kui! Come here! There's the rubbish chute.

There's an exit.

May, you go first.

It looks too high.

Just jump!

Ka Kui, are you all right?

Get out of here, May, as far as you can!

Be careful.

Aba, Aba… Who's the tough guy now?

Shit!

Stop crying, OK?

Look, the fireworks are beautiful.

I'm self reliant. I'm a tough guy

Total dedication to my beliefs

I sweat and bleed, I bare my pure heart

Searching for a greater way

My life is but a wager

Nothing left but the story of a hero

In times of trouble, you can see a person's determination

Searching for a greater way

Thrust forward!

For loss or gain, only my heart knows

Overcoming obstacles,

I want to write my name in the clouds!

With dignity, I write down

The poem of my life

Passion and love, Tears and attachments

Sincerity is the true meaning

Life: I devote it completely

Leaving behind the astonishing events

The hero with dignity

Bravely looking around the world like an awakening lion

Thrust forward!

For loss or gain, only my heart knows

Overcoming obstacles,

I want to write my name in the clouds!

Thrust forward!

For loss or gain, only my heart knows

Overcoming obstacles,

I want to fly in the clouds!

Thrust forward!

For loss or gain, only my heart knows

Overcoming obstacles,

I want to be a hero standing tall!
