Today's your last exercise before graduation

Say there are 6 thugs in the house

You each get an air pistol with a single color bullet

Overpower them in the shortest time possible

Wish you could break the police record

Where are the others?

Run!

Stop!

Go over there to have a look

Calling Headquarters, robbery here!

No way out. See if there's a back door

Follow me!

A friend!

What happened?

Couldn't care less, run!

Don't take it so seriously

I wanted to break the record

Have you seen Chin?

No

Not friends!

Although I'm only a lowly sergeant

You shouldn't treat me like dirt

I've been 20 years in the force

I'm much more experienced

I've gone through a great deal

You learned theories in a police training school

It's different from real life

Despite the little accident

We all survived the exercise

Remember

There's still a lot to learn

To be a real cop

Understand? Good luck!

Yes, sir

Come to my home to eat today

Are you going?

No?

Yes, yes

Have some soup

Thank you, auntie

Sorry

I didn't show up last week

because I went with Chi to see Sister Liza

It's OK

I cooked your favorite soup today

Before inviting you to come

Look, she adores you. Have another bowl

This soup aids digestion. Have more bowls

Yes, let here drink it alone I watch

You didn't drink it. Why be jealous?

Your mom likes girls, but you're a boy

Checkmate

Aside

Checkmate. You lost

Sorry, forget it!

No regrets!

You father/son are impossible. I'll get you some fruits

Thank you

This way

You can't move this way

You really are hopeless!

Chi, happy birthday. It's for you

It's beautiful!

You're nice to know your own birthday

If you took it for your birthday too

We could celebrate it on the same day

Good

Let's make a wish

What wish have you made?

To have a brother like you

No

I know orphans like us can't have brothers

I want to be your brother forever

Look, my birthday present from Ken

How do you know her star is Scorpion?

Why not?

Oh, no, today's his birthday too!

I forgot to buy a present, some other day

Forget it

I don't even know who my parents are

Don't say that

Let's go to see a show

What kind of a show?

No idea. Any good show?

Have you got today's paper?

Yes, in my room. Go and have a look

Don't move, police!

drop your gun!

Against the wall! Come on!

Don't move!

Are you all right?

Don't touch my hand, it hurts!

Are you okay?

Call an ambulance!

Ken, you'll be all right

Broken!

It hurts badly

How come? It's almost recovered

Dying, I'm dying soon!

Go and die then

You'd be a window if I were dead

I don't heed you. Say no more of that

Have a kiss!

No

Come on, let me have a kiss

There are many people around

Ming, how's everything?

I've got news

Lei Shen, how's it going?

He's got away!

I suspect that Thai woman's death is linked to the international sex syndicate

It's a large organization

Which brings by hook or by crook girls

From the world to Hong Kong to sell their bodies

Involved are murder, illegal detention

Faking documents, swindling and prostitution

Unfortunately, they had fled

Before we rushed to the scene each time

Inspector Cheng, I smelt rot in the police force

Who could it be?

My hunches only

Chi, you must be too tired

As you're getting married soon

Why not take a leave to plan your marriage?

Let me have someone else take over the case

Inspector Cheng...

Chi, it's fixed

Bring Ken out sometime with you for a gathering

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

Let everybody be happy!

My wishes to you for

A long and happy union!

Where have you copied this?

Thank you

If I can't capture that thug

I won't marry you

Miss, crimes happen every day

Your job's never finished until 1997?

I have hunches I can catch the thug soon

I promise to marry you before the year-end, okay?

You've hunches all the time

My parents want us to emigrate to Canada after our wedding

Chi's personality was formed from childhood

It's as hard to be her husband as her superior

No, it's harder to be her superior

Only a man of your qualification can be promoted

to Inspector General in 5 years

You gave up the chance yourself

You opted to go to the internal investigations

Well,

when are you going to investigate me?

Okay, now

Happy birthday!

Thank you

Ken, you've been there for nearly a year

How do you think of the job?

Nice, and challenging

Some get hostile to us

for our mission

In fact, we aim to safeguard police reputation

Is our department under pressure?

Confidence is what's required of us

No pressure if you think you're doing it right

We've been suspicious of him

We've got his data. You take charge

Yes, sir

I haven't been in direct contact with Lei Shen for a long time

He's experienced, and a good colleague

Investigation has formed a task force on the Lei Shen case

Lei Shen is Chi's subordinate

I'd like Chi to help investigate

Ok, Chi, you help Ken investigate now

Until your next assignment when the case is solved

Yes, sir

What were you trying to say?

Lei Shen is our elder

Yes, but so what?

We already have got ample proof

That's baffling to me

I know

There's a bugbear in the police department

And our duty is to eliminate it

I don't believe Lei Shen will do that

It's not a question of believing only

He's suspected to be linked to the international sex syndicate

That killer you caught is related to it too

And he got away from Lei Shen's clutches

Could it be a coincidence only?

Stop guessing

In a word, we mean to help him, not to hurt him

If our inquiries show he's not linked to it

We'll be at ease

What? To investigate me who has just left hospital?

No, Lei Shen, keep cool

I only want to clarify a few points

Please co-operate

I've been in the police force all these years

Why aren't you concerned about my safety

And the paltry pay

I receive?

I'm going to ask you that

The house in which you live costs $3 million

Your wife has recently bought jewelry worth $1 million

And you spent up to $200,000

to finance your brother-in-law's studies overseas

How did you get all this money?

My wife is rich, okay?

Our data show that she gets no income

Nor legacy. How do you explain that?

Beside. You've been mixing with this man

He's linked to an international sex syndicate

There's nothing unusual for

A policeman to do that

Lei Shen, are you satisfied with this explanation yourself?

Please co-operate

I don't care to explain. Arrest me if you prefer

Darling

Why are you so beautifully dressed?

What's wrong? I've had money to spend on it

- Never mind if you don't care to see it - Damn!

I've always told you not to swagger

They're investigating me because

You spent so much on jewelry

Now I'm finished!

How do I know?

In a word, behave yourself

And all my money is yours to spend

If I discover any irregularities about you

You'll suffer

- Come in - Sir

The photos we got from the sex syndicate

Have a look

You go out first

Yes

Not so deep, it's dangerous

The tip-off is most accurate

The girls gave us the tips because

They're dissatisfied with their boss's exploitation

The statements show Lei Shen plays a minor role only

There's someone behind the outfit

He's only a sergeant, he can't cover up such a large outfit

Never thought Lei Shen would do that

Nor did I

Lei Shen wouldn't co-operated with us

That puts us on a tight spot

Scorpion has an instinct

That is to endure long in the sand

Before emerging to catch its prey

Okay, I'll go make breakfast

He's no good, he takes everything out on me

If this goes on, how long can I endure?

Have you heard it?

If Lei Shen were kind and considerate

You wouldn't have needed my company

I opened my bank account for your black money only

Not for that lout Lei Shen, understand?

Yes, I know, all because of me

We must make as much as possible now

We may be overseas in 1997

We? You mean you and me?

I don't believe it

I know you have another woman

Who, besides you?

Don't fool me

I won't let you go for that

Let me introduce, Mr. Hu, Hua

Mr. Hu

Go

Hua's an outstanding figure in the force

Find a territory for him to help out

Good, a fighting young man has a good future

Besides, he has recommended by Inspector Cheng

Thank you, Mr. Hu

Many cops have become your cronies these days

Inspector Cheng, you really are okay

I'm a Socialist

We share anything, right?

You must be joking

I've had no appetite even for sharks fin

Why?

Your colleagues have been storming my joints

Soon my joints will be finished!

Mr. Hu, they belong to Internal Investigations

Not under me

Well, you've said it

If you can't control them, I'll act by myself

Having moved around all these years, I'm sure

I can cope with these two fellows easily

Madam, this is Ming

I have some tips. Come out first

Same old place

Don't!

Are you sure it's the place?

We always meet here

Ming

Ming

Go away

Are you all right?

Yes

How did you know we'd be here?

I got news someone would assault you

Maybe Hu meant to warn you

That strengthens my desire to smash his joints

I've wasted too much breath. Fix her

Mrs. Lei

We suspect Lei Shen's linked to a sex syndicate

You keep several bank accounts, don't you?

Is that illegal?

You keep much money in each account

And there have been large deposits and withdrawals

Up to a million. Please explain that

Even a small flat costs over $2 million

What's so special about that?

Are you going to buy houses in Switzerland too?

You have a numbered account in Switzerland

Who gave you all this money?

Answer me!

Since it's a numbered account, I can't tell you

Mrs. Lei, you'd better co-operate with us

You'll be prosecuted

for being accessory after fact

Good, now listen

I got the money by being a whore

I came upon a rich client and

He kept depositing money into my accounts. okay?

Yes

Lei Shen, it's good of you to take your leave now

Inspector Cheng, you sure I'll be all right?

Sure, stop your wife from talking nonsense

No matter how they investigate

You'll be OK. At worst you get demoted

With several million, you'll be free from want for the rest of your life

That bitch has ruined everything!

Had she not swaggered, we wouldn't have come to this

Have a cigarette

A woman can't resist the temptation of spending

Be nice to her and you'll be all right

Halt! Where have you been?

Where have you been? Hear me?

Stop yelling after a few drinks!

Are you going to tell me or not?

I was having a date, okay?

Damn it, I'll beat you up!

Come on, kill me! I don't care to live anyway!

Why should I claim to be a prostitute?

If you hadn't promised to finance my brother's studies

I wouldn't have married you

You're lucky to have married me

Let's part if you're dissatisfied with me

When asked about my bank accounts

I'd say they're yours and see which of us will suffer

About my wife's bank accounts

Let me tell you, they were not opened for me

But for another man

He's the shark you're after

Lei Shen, where are you? I'll come right away

We must hit his vital part

I meant to make him spit out the truth

You do the recording to prove it

Do I know him or not?

You'll know in a minute

Lei Shen, keep cool and wait for my arrival

Was it from Lei Shen?

No, from my friend. He wants to see me

Let me accompany you

No, I can cope. You change and go to work

Inspector Cheng, sorry for calling you at this hour

I want to talk to you on urgent business

Let's meet at the dam in two hours

Hui, I heard Lei Shen call Ken

Lei Shen. Who are we waiting for?

Lei Shen. Who's that?

Lei Shen

Stop!

Stop! Get hold of him!

Why have you brought a gang over here?

You made a mess. Now even the killer has fled

You didn't even tell me

About you interview with Lei Shen

How did you know it?

I got news the killer would appear

Where did you get it?

Is it necessary to tell you about it?

It's very important

Glad you understand

I want to know why you were with Lei Shen here

What did he tell you? Why didn't you tell me?

Sorry, inspector Chou

I promised Lei Shen to keep it secret

Without having said anything

And Lei Shen got killed

I wanted to catch the killed to flush out the instigator

Now Lei Shen's dead, you can say anything

Don't be so unreasonable

What do you mean?

We're sidekicks and we're getting married soon

Why did you hide that from me?

You know the motto in the police force

A top secret should be hidden even from one's spouse

Good, forget it then

Now tell me...

I'm also police, I must abide by the rules too

Yes

OK, where are you now?

I'll come right away to arrange your departure from HK

Inspector Cheng, sorry

Never mind. You did me a big favor killing Lei Shen

Take this money

Someone in the Philippines will meet you on arrival

Good

No? Damn it!

What's wrong? Chi, why are you depressed?

Men are doomed to be alone

Men are so difficult to understand

How's it between you and Ken?

I don't feel liking saying it

Remember you used to tell me everything when we were young?

I think Ken's hiding something from me

Is it linked to Lei Shen?

By the way, about the Lei Shen case

We seized a mini recorder from him

Before his death,

he came to see me drunk

He made a scene, saying his wife got a beau

He wouldn't expose him, but said we all know him

He never said it's linked to Lei Shen's wife

He? Who?

Never mind

Don't hide it from me

Come to me if anything happens

Maybe I'm suspicious

No point telling it before the truth is out

Chi's getting more and more cranky

She's been staring at you like a scorpion

Wonder what's on her mind

Has she got something to tell you?

No idea. I don't know what's on her mind

She doesn't know what's on my mind either

If this goes on, we may end up parting

Why don't you have a chat with her?

Once revealed things get meaningless

You're her best friend

What did she tell you?

I don't know how to put it either

Just come to the point

Some things are hard to explain

We both are orphans

You with parents won't understand

Is there really something serious?

I heard of "bird of the same feather" when I was a child

I didn't understand it

Nor did I know what I wanted

Now grown, I feel it makes sense

People of the same kind do go together

What were you trying to say?

Nothing. Wish everything was all right

But sometimes circumstances are beyond our control

One thing I can assure you is

I never betray a friend

Excuse me

Ken, get some food for Chi

No, I can help myself

Have you seen under much strain recently?

No

You look so depressed

I thought you were tired

Our application for emigration to Canada has been approved

We can leave any time

We're waiting for your wedding party

Mom, I wanted to get married

But Chi has been too busy

What did you say?

I never say no but is this the appropriate time now?

Lei Shen's dead and the killer is still at large

Just say so if you don't want to marry

I never said that!

You mean exactly that

Forget it

The marriage can wait, there's no hurry

Mrs. Lei, Lei Shen's dead

The one who bought a killer meant to destroy the evidence

Lei Shen called me before his death

Saying your accounts are for a man

And the man is the one we're after for sure

Seek him out if you're capable. I know nothing

Why cover up the man

who killed your husband?

Is Inspector Chou back or not?

Not necessary

It's that Thai over there

Sir, I know nothing

Why did you flee then?

All know you're the President of the Thai Association

We're looking for a Thai named Barlit

A killer from Thailand. He killed several men

You must know a man of his background

That's fatal from me

I daren't say even if I know it

Besides, he moves mysteriously. Where can I find him?

If you see him, just tell him

Both the police and the underworld are after him. He can never get away!

There may be a chance if he co-operates

I want to have a word with you

No, some other day

How long are you going to hide from me?

What? Why should I hide?

It's better to hide

to save our relationship

Save? I don't care for such a relationship

Good. Come right out with it without stalling?

You still want to stall? It was Lei Shen's wife

How long would you hide

if I didn't see it yesterday?

Why did you follow me?

Don't tell me you went out with him on business only

Why did you follow me?

I don't care for such a relationship

Why seek an excuse to part with me?

Excuse? Why did Lei Shen want to see you?

So you're linked to his wife. I see

Crazy, you suspect me having an affair with Lei Shen's wife

What about you?

What about me?

Excuse me

1613, call back. Code 97

Yes

Tell him I'll come right away

You come to me only because you're desperate

If I don't care for you, you'll be finished

Killing you is pointless. Someone may kill me then

He's the one who instigated me to kill Lei Shen

Who's he?

If you guarantee my safe departure from Hong Kong, I'll tell you

To ask for mitigation is all I can do for you

Well, forget it

Ok, I promise you that

Who's that man?

Don't move!

So it's you

You know everything

But it's too late!

Never imagined it could be you!

Why ruin yourself and your future?

I do have a good future

Why do you always poke into my affairs?

What have you got to take away Chi?

Taking my girlfriend away is unworthy of a friend

Listen, Chi and I were brought up together

You never know what she wants

You can't satisfy her

I'm not afraid, but am delighted you're the investigator

Keep away, Chi!

Where's Ken?

In the operation room

Madam, Madam

Ken

Madam, keep cool

Ken

Why? What has happened to him?

Auntie, Ken's things are all packed up

We plan to go to Canada early

Our relatives there can take care of us

Okay, it's not a bad idea

Ken's not here. Don't hesitate to ask if you need any help

I'll see what I can do for you

I'm now most worried about Chi

Formerly Ken, Chi and you were a good trio

Take more care of Chi from now on

Don't worry, I will

Inspector Cheng, I paid you so much each year

Not for the sake of getting your men to harass us

And that female acted like a mad dog

She stormed my joints and took away my men!

help me finish her off

I'll settle it in 3 years, Mr. Hu

Remember, you'll suffer too if I'm in trouble

Madam, I've got news

A bevy of Thai girls are landing on Pik Sha Bay

- Get in - Yes

Hua

Sorry, I had no choice!

I've to do it or I'll be in trouble

Bitch, trying to make fun of me?

Are you asking for a passport to hell?

Dump her to the sea!

Yes

Run quick!

Cheng Hui?

What are you doing?

Chi, are you all right?

Chi, wake up!

It'll be all right, the ambulance is coming

Never knew Cheong was such a bad guy

You can never tell

Ken is corrupt. He killed and

Sneaked the affections of Lei Shen's wife

But you shouldn't have harassed Hu's joints like mad!

That won't redeem his crime

Chi, listen, forget the past

Don't keep it in your mind

It's the future that counts

So you're that man Lei Shen's wife wouldn't expose

And you're the killer of Lei Shen too

And you killed Barlit to frame Ken

Then killed Ken too

Right?

Yes

Why did you do that?

Because of you

Nonsense!

I'm serious!

We were happy together, but Ken took you away

Those with parents are different from us

You're mad!

I am not

He has born with a silver spoon in his mouth

I only want someone I love, that's not too much

Isn't it too much for me to love you?

Don't find yourself an excuse

I didn't, I did everything for you

Ken made me do it

He took away my loved one! Have I may choice?

It's all over

Let's start anew

No, not for this life

What?

No!

Well, shoot and kill me. Shoot and kill me!

If you kill me, I'll revenge in a next life!

Chi, even you look down on me!

Madam, speak up, I'm busy

Lei Shen's dead. What are you busy about now?

Don't you know Cheng Hui's been using you?

He killed your husband and you still cover him up?

I don't understand what you're talking about

You think Cheng Hui's true to you?

What he's after is money only

If he was after a woman, it couldn't be you!

We're both his pawns

He knows human frailties

He kicks the ladder after climbing up on it

Is this worth your while?

No, Cheng Hui won't forsake me!

Don't deceive yourself

Cheng Hui killed many including your husband

You'll be involved if Cheng Hui gets into trouble

You can't clean yourself then

Don't scare me. Cheng Hui'll take me away

He told me last night you're not the one he loves

He won't take you away

Impossible, he couldn't be with you last night

For the sake of Lei Shen and yourself

Help the police and bring him to justice

Enough, I won't trust you!

No more illusion. You know too much

He'll kill you. He won't let you go!

Enough, I won't trust you!

You'll only ruin yourself

You know too much about him, he won't let you go!

You lie, Cheng Hui'll take me away!

Mrs. Lei

I don't believe it!

Mrs. Lei, be a witness for the police

Cheng Hui will take me away. I don't trust you!

Go away. I don't trust you!

She's come to!

Chi, are you all right?

Chi, are you all right?

Madam, are you okay?

Chi

Chi, are you all right?

Madam, are you all right?

Chi

Madam

Where's Inspector Cheng? Where's he?

Madam, we only saw

You and the deceased here

Cheng Hui has killed

He killed this woman!

Cheng Hui killed this woman!

Cheng Hui is a killer!

Cheng Hui is a killer!

That's ridiculous!

Cheng Hui's the most brilliant officer

He's going to receive a medal of the highest honor for bravery

How could he kill a woman?

I saw it with own eyes!

You saw him fire with your own eyes?

He strangled my neck from behind

I couldn't see him. I couldn't see him fire

But I'm sure it was he who fired!

I felt it

Can you prosecute someone for killing with intuition only?

I know Chou Ken's death

has been a big blow to Inspector An

She complained to me for not having done my best

You all know we three were best friends

I believe she doesn't mean to frame me

She might be insane

Due to the big shock

I'm not insane

Inspector An, keep cool

Why don't you believe me? He did kill that woman!

He did it to destroy the evidence

That woman knows all his misdeeds

Inspector An, as a police officer

You know anything must be backed by evidence

According to the report from analysis

The bullet that killed Lin Feng-chih

Didn't come from his gun

According to the witness's statement

Cheng Hui has drinking with 2 policemen

They are his subordinates

They are taking his side!

Inspector An, without any proof

We can never accept the accusation against Cheng Hui for internal investigations

He really did kill

You, you killed her!

- Madam, keep cool - Tell her to go out

He did it, he did!

Now let me make a test for you

What's the painting?

A scorpion

A scorpion

A scorpion

A scorpion

I'm going to meet the new HK Governor

I wanted to live happily with you

Why are you so stupid?

Why wouldn't you let me be a normal man?

I'm leaving. Think it over

When you come to my way of thinking, I may let you out

Chi

I love you

More people have come,

nearly 2, 000

Some came with children to witness the inauguration

It's believed to be the last inauguration

for a new governor before 1997

During 20-minute inauguration

Besides the guard of honor of the Armed Forces

A senior representative from the police will also be reviewed
