Are you done? You've been doing that all the way.

We're here.

(Wing Lung Warehouse)

Sawasdee krub!

The guy got lost. We're late. Where's the stash?

This is good!

This is No.4 from Thailand.

Not No. 3 from the Golden Triangle.

Pay him.

Count it.

Police! You have been surrounded!

We're out of ammo, Honey! Run!

Come on, Boss! Out of my way!

Honey, where's the car?

Turkey took off! What a traitor!

What now?

Freeze! You're under arrest!

Call HQ, seal off the roads back to the city

Don't let Nalong get away! Yes, Sir!

We're in trouble, Boss!

Monkey has been busted.

I saw officers from the 15/F crash inside the warehouse.

They couldn't get away.

NB?

How did they find out?

Did anyone see you?

No! I drove away in time.

That's good.

15/F went after Monkey for drug trafficking.

They won't come after us.

But they now have the ICAC.

ICAC?

This department can't last long.

The Hong Kong Government can't possibly arrest every cop on the force.

Don't let them get the dirt on us.

Whatever perks we took before,

put them away.

Don't leave anything inside the precinct. Right!

Roger! Start packing!

I never took a dime.

If I take away the envelopes,

they'll say I'm on the take.

If I leave them here for the ICAC to find,

they'll have the evidence.

Thank you so much!

Without you, we won't get help from Yim Sir.

Yim Sir wanted to thank you

for giving him such exact intel

so he can bust the dope dealers.

But you said Yim Sir's boss won't let him take action.

How come...

Because the case involved other officers,

that's why his gweilo boss said no.

That's why I called you.

I was taken aback when he took action.

Yim Sir ignored his gweilo boss

and led the operation himself.

Yim Sir had guts.

He was prepared to take the rap and quit.

But now that the bust is all over the news,

the gweilo got credit.

He should go easy on Yim Sir.

We did the right thing by going Yim Sir.

Too bad one of them got away.

Got away?

My colleague who covers the local news told me,

the Police shot and killed

a Thai drug dealer called Phonchat.

The other one called Nalong got away.

Can the Police find him?

He was wounded and the Police put out a warrant for his arrest.

The Police also alerted all clinics and pharmacies

and asked them to look out for him.

I thought if Nalong was arrested,

Lung Kwan would never know I'm here in Hong Kong.

I didn't expect Nalong to get away.

I'm in trouble if he made his way back to Thailand.

I can't tell the Police about him

and have him arrested.

If he knew I fingered him, I'm dead.

If he's in hiding and has no one else to help him,

he might ask me to help him escape.

Rather than wait for him to call,

why don't I try to find him?

Tell 7085, Lik is looking for him.

Tell him to call me at home. Thanks.

Did 7085 call in?

He didn't?

No need to page him again. Thanks.

Did he skip town already?

The bed is cold and hard. You're all on my payroll,

is this how you treat the Boss?

Calm down!

Think of a way to get us a lighter sentence.

We may not go to jail.

Whatever they ask you,

just deny everything.

You'll be fine.

They busted the money and the stash.

We were caught red-handed. Why won't the charge stick?

I pay them every day,

more than the Hong Kong Government,

they wouldn't dare convict us.

They wouldn't? They drove the car away!

I'll castrate them.

How?

They took your money and arrested us.

What can you do to them?

If the Police wants to play games,

I'm happy to oblige.

Calm down, take it easy!

I want to see the ICAC! Take it easy!

I have something to say. I want the ICAC!

Chill! ICAC!

Pipe down! Get me the ICAC!

Boss! Gather around...

Chiu Tung, a.k.a Monkey,

appears to run a fruit stand in the fruit market.

But in fact, he's the top drug dealer in Yaumatei.

He has been bribing Police officers

as well as officers of the Trade & Industry Department (TID).

That's why he has never been caught before.

Cheng Yuk-ping, a former showgirl.

Chiu Tung's wife for a few years

and also partner in drug trafficking and bribery.

Tso Tai-hoi, a.k.a. Blind Tso,

an Inspector of the Jordan CID.

He's friendly with triad members of the neighbourhood.

This brilliant Inspector

is the prime taker of Monkey's bribes.

The bribery of Police officers in Jordan

has been an on-going investigation.

With Monkey's testimony,

we found out

over 100 officers were implicated.

Because of the gravity of the situation,

we must nail all these dirty cops.

We must live up to

the expectations of the citizens of the ICAC.

Yes, Sir...

I'll go get something. Wait here...

ICAC!

Please come with us for an investigation.

ICAC!

We need you for an investigation.

Pour...

Here...eat some more!

ICAC!

Please come with us for an investigation.

ICAC!

We need you for an investigation.

Come back!

Anything?

Just these.

Go over the files again for leads.

Lai Sir!

Whose desk is this?

Today, in an ICAC operation

of an unprecedented scale,

over 100 investigators were dispatched,

and split up into over 50 teams

and arrested 119 Police officers of the Jordan precinct

from many different departments,

suspected of taking bribes from a drug cartel

in exchange for leaking Police intel.

Chin Wing-kit, where did you get the money in your drawer?

It's not mine. I never took a dime.

Interesting. What is the money doing there?

Did someone bribe you?

We found a large sum of money in your desk.

But you said you didn't take it and just let it sit.

Who'd believe you?

I'm telling the truth.

Think again.

If you don't tell us whose money it is,

we're likely to press charges against you.

Surely you know you'll go to jail.

Yes, the money is a bribe.

But I'm not on the take.

If I were, I would have spent it.

It won't be sitting in a drawer untouched.

Even if the ICAC believed you,

if you don't tell us who bribed you,

you think the judge would buy it?

You're the one going to jail.

If you don't speak up, no one can help you.

Kit, relax!

You're not dirty and you didn't take the money.

The ICAC won't press charges against you.

That's easy for you to say.

They're convinced

the money in the drawer is a bribe.

They're forcing me to spill the beans.

Then tell them

Blind Tso made you do it.

Tell them when and how much

and you didn't spend a dime.

Can I really do that?

If I squealed on him,

I'd be squealing on everyone else.

I'm already suspended,

if I became a rat,

I can never go back to the precinct.

If you don't, you'll go to jail.

You won't need to go back.

Betraying your co-workers is serious.

I could get killed over it.

Kit, you don't have to be so scared.

Of course you're not scared.

I'm the one getting killed.

Boss, here we are.

Who are you?

Auntie, I'm Monkey's friend.

I heard he's in trouble.

I came to see if I can offer you any help.

(During a Police drug bust,)

(cash and drugs were found.)

(The drug dealer known as Monkey)

(and his wife have been arrested.)

Even an iron monkey is now a dead monkey.

Someone like him should rot in jail.

They should have arrested him sooner.

Then they couldn't have toyed with me.

I'm still scared of bananas.

Drug trafficking is a capital offense.

He may not walk, even with a lawyer.

He has no money to hire a lawyer.

Wait!

What's wrong?

He'll have the money if he sold the flat.

This thing just fell into our laps.

Mona!

Where's Ho-fung?

I'm not sure. He didn't say.

Maybe he's busy at the office.

I'm busy too.

I still come home to have dinner with Mom.

He's not in charge of anything major. How busy can he be?

If he's busy, I can keep Mom company.

It's quite alright.

Who needs company?

Work should always come first.

Mom's right. Work comes first.

But ability is more important.

We gave him the Chun Yeung Street project.

He made absolutely no progress.

I should have followed up on it myself.

Can you?

I got wind

the owner needs money to hire a lawyer.

I'll send someone over. It's a safe bet.

Safe or screwy?

You wanted to talk to Monkey, right?

He was busted for drug trafficking.

His assets, if he had any, would have been frozen.

It's useless to talk to him.

Mom, I just saw the owner.

I had to wait for her to sign the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

That's why I'm late.

You bought the flat?

No way! The owner is in custody.

My lawyer just visited him.

How could you have seen him

and had the Agreement signed?

Who says the owner is in custody?

The owner's son is the one in custody.

You didn't even know his Mom owns the flat?

How stupid!

No wonder you couldn't get anything done.

Ho-fung, good job!

And you! You didn't even know who the owner is.

Don't just listen to your gophers.

You must do everything yourself.

Yes, Mom!

Ho-fung is more reliable.

You should sit back in on the Board.

Work with each other and run the company properly.

Yes, Mom!

Mom... It's settled.

Don't worry, Mom!

I will work with Ho-shan.

I will fix his screw ups.

Since you're so happy tonight,

let's go out and celebrate.

I'm celebrating with the boys at a night club tonight.

Let's do ours later.

Even if you celebrate with your staff,

you didn't have to go to a night club.

Socializing is unavoidable.

I need to recognize their hard work

and build a better relationship.

A woman should be broad-minded.

Especially a woman from high society.

Tong ho-fung's woman must be smart

in order to help me, understand?

(Confess your love, let's get engaged)

(Greet me with a smile...)

Here!

A toast to the Boss' return to the Board.

Let's have a blast tonight.

Don't worry about my wallet.

Thanks, Boss!

Gordon, you were brilliant. I was so right about you.

Only because you gave me the chance.

Or I couldn't have done anything.

Right! I'm the star maker.

If I didn't recognize your talents,

you'd still be at the Green Tears Club

waiting tables and pouring me tea.

You! You have worked for me for so long,

you're not half as smart as Gordon, the new comer.

You should learn from him.

Or he'll soon leave you in the dust.

Right...

Gordon, please show me the ropes

and look out for me. You flatter me...

Mr. Tong!

I brought our prettiest girls

to keep you company.

Lily is our best.

She can talk, play and drink.

She can be your first love

or your lover.

You seem...

Am I your first love or lover?

And these two...

Lulu and Mimi

can also talk, play and drink.

You're in good hands.

It's OK, Mama!

Lily, go sit with the Boss.

Lulu, come here.

Right! Go on...

Have a good time.

Boss! Just holler if you need me.

Let's drink up.

Sorry, I don't drink.

Boss!

The plans on the renovation project of Castle Peak Road in Yuen Long

have not been revised.

I must finish them for you for tomorrow.

Gordon, you must play as hard as you work.

That's how we get along.

You should learn from Yuen about this.

Boss, you must take charge now that you're back on the Board.

I must finish the plans

so you'll have something to support your ideas tomorrow.

Very well.

Thanks, Boss! I'm leaving.

Leaving already?

Mimi, tell Tina full escort tonight.

Thanks, Mr. Tong!

Hey big spender, cheers!

You're in luck! Serve the Boss well.

Take good care of him, understand?

How good is good?

The Boss likes attentiveness,

like Korean girls.

Feed him and wash his underwear?

Let's have a drink, Mr. Tong! Sure!

Mouth-to-mouth!

Considering Mr. Tong's status,

it's beneath him to drink from my mouth.

I don't mind if you make me happy.

Hear that? Use your mouth!

I don't know how to do that!

I'll down a glass as my penalty.

(You're prudish...)

Boss!

(Your eyes have...)

Get me a glass.

Why the sour face, Lily?

Who'd dare piss you off?

I ran into that jinx Tong Ho-fung again.

I was a secretary at Tong Fa when I was in junior high.

My salary was low as it is

and his brother Tong Ho-shan

often took liberties with me.

If Tong Ho-shan molested you,

why are you pissed at Tong Ho-fung?

They're two peas in a pod.

Pruriency must be hereditary.

He wanted me to feed him wine from my mouth.

That's cheap.

What if he had bad breath?

Rinse with a couple more glasses.

Hugo said your sister is stern

and wouldn't let you work here.

Why are you still here?

Hugo has such a big mouth!

You know how hard it was

for me to work in here.

I still don't have

a stock number from the big shots.

I'd be stupid to leave like this.

You and Hugo want to be Bonnie and Clyde?

Even if you're smart,

he's not stupid either.

Get me a bottle of wine.

Mr. Lam!

Here...wipe your hands. No need.

I'll get you your bottle.

What's with the bruises on your thigh?

That creep I have for a husband

likes to gamble and is heavily in debt.

He came home last night and asked me for money.

I said no and he hit me here...

This was from the night before, this was last week...

You should have reconsidered before you married him.

He conned me when I was still in school in my teens.

By the way, Mr. Lam,

I'm sorry about last time.

I heard you're a big shot

and have the inside tip. That's why I'm asking you.

I just want to make some quick money

to pay off that creep's debts

so he won't hit me again.

You need my help?

You're willing to help me?

Mr. Lam, you're so nice!

Why don't you tell me which stock to buy

and when to sell it.

That's it?

But it's too noisy in here.

Let's go to the hotel next door for a late snack

and we'll talk then.

Hello?

Done! The big boss is hooked.

It helps to look pitiful.

He said he'll take me to the hotel next door for a late snack

and tell me a stock number.

That's great! You're smart!

Make sure you watch my back.

He's capable of anything.

All men are lechers.

Of course. I was my idea.

I will have you covered.

Don't forget! You must be there.

I will. Bye!

Look, they're serving dessert.

When are you giving me the name?

Be patient! Let's talk.

If you won't tell me,

I won't have money to bring home.

That creep will beat me up again.

It's very late.

Even if I told you, you can't do anything now.

Wait till tomorrow morning.

Don't go home tonight

and he can't hit you, right?

No, if I don't go home,

I'll have to sleep on the streets.

Don't worry about that.

Pick anywhere in Kowloon Tong.

Kowloon Tong?

Kowloon is too far.

Too far for you?

We're in a hotel. I'll get a room.

We'll talk upstairs.

I'll give you the number in the morning.

You'll make money right away.

Really?

What if it doesn't go up?

Why not? I'm the banker.

I can make it go up, 10 times, 20 times...

as much as I want.

Just give me the name.

You're making me feel 15-16.

What?

Is that the number?

How did you guess that?

Is it really 1516?

Not so loud! You want the whole world to know?

Now you have the number, let's go upstairs.

Right...after I use the toilet.

Drink the water and let's go up.

Don't drink that!

I saw him put something in the water.

He wanted to drug you and take you upstairs.

Which one of your eyes saw me spike her drink?

All 3 of them!

I saw you took out some pills.

Then the water turned bubbly.

That's the meds for my stomach.

Soda water definitely has bubbles.

Who are you? What is she to you?

I'm her husband.

Husband?

Didn't you say he's a creep?

I guess not.

Tramp!

You come home late every night because you had an affair?

Honey!

You need money for your dope and made me work.

Or I wouldn't need to pick up men

to pay for your dope.

Actually...the money is not for dope.

I want to help a relative of my Grandma's sister.

She's in her 60s and was sent to SE Asia

to serve the aborigines.

That's so sad.

I need money to get her back.

You only care about other people. What about me?

What about our 5 kids at home?

Not to mention the one I'm carrying.

Hold it...

You had bruises on your thigh.

Where are they now?

Quit your act, Bonnie and Clyde.

You were after the stock number!

So what if we are Bonnie and Clyde.

We have help behind you!

Fix him!

Run...

Where's 1615? I can't find it.

I remember it's a trading company.

Trading my foot!

1516 is Nam Shing Cotton Mills.

Don't tell anyone you work for a securities firm, loser!

Can you forget my shortcomings

and remember my virtues?

Finding the financial newspaper at this hour

is not so bad.

Nam Shing Cotton Mills closed at $2.1 yesterday.

The guy said it'll go up 20 times.

20 times is about...

Forget the Maths. We're going to be rich!

Money...

Luckily I was smart

and guessed the stock number.

Or you would have wrecked everything by showing up.

I thought he wanted to drug you.

I came forward to save you

by risking my life. How can you blame me?

You were obviously mistaken, you stupid pig!

He called us Bonnie and Clyde.

If I'm a pig, you're a sow.

Cut the crap! What now?

What else? We buy the stock tomorrow morning

Give me $3,000.

What? 50/50 is only $1,500.

Why should I give you $3,000?

I made some bad investments

and still owe Luk Siu-fung and Chin Chun money.

I'm flat broke. Advance me the money.

I'm broke too.

Wait...I can get money from a bank.

Really? Get me some.

Why should I?

Just think...

an inside tip is not always reliable, right?

If we go in 50/50,

if you lose, I'll bear half the money

so you'll only lose half of it.

Right? Am I right?

Think it over, OK?

Look, I barely know you.

Let's do this properly.

Write me an IOU.

Very well!

I owe you for life.

That's it for today. Any questions?

None!

Thanks, Cousin Kwok

for coming over to tutor me.

I want you to become an accountant

and get a better job soon.

I'd love to pass the test soon.

The job at the paging service is temporary.

When I become an accountant,

Mom won't need to try so hard

to find work and make a living.

But then again,

only because you work for a paging service,

or the Police won't be able to bust the drug dealers.

You deserved a good citizen's award.

That was nothing.

By the way, Jing-jing...

When you finish the exam,

I'd like to take you to Aberdeen for seafood Great!

But it'll be too expensive for 4 people.

4 people?

You, me, Mom and Ting-ting.

It won't be too expensive.

How do you use this?

This? Press here...

Mom, why did you buy so much?

Good thing Uncle Loi helped you.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, let's watch the moon after dinner.

Today is lunar July 14.

July 14?

Oh dear...I must go to sleep.

If Tei hadn't asked me to look after him,

I would not have bothered.

Here...let me!

Kwok, I'm going to work.

I'll go with you.

Cousin Kwok!

I have a headache, I want to ask you

can I take this?

You're not feeling well?

Nothing, just a bit...

...of a headache! I'll be fine.

You should go to work.

I can take you to the doctor.

No! Cousin Kwok is here. Right!

OK! Look after Ting-ting for me.

Bye! Bye! Be careful!

Mom, I'm going to work.

You take this for a headache?

Vitamin C won't fix a headache.

Why did you fake it?

I was giving you a chance to woo my sister.

Don't talk nonsense!

When I was little,

I asked you to buy me an electric pencil sharpener, but you refused.

Now that Jing-jing is taking an exam,

you bought her a calculator and promised to buy her a seafood dinner.

You dare deny that?

Let me ask Jing-jing what's on her mind.

What do you really want?

OK?

I want to borrow $3,000.

$3,000?

What for?

I can tell you

but you can't tell Jing-jing.

Nam Shing Cotton Mills has a joint venture with Southeast Sea Garments.

Nam Shing is into production.

Southeast Sea has export quota.

This stock has potential.

See? It will go up.

Grab your chance while you still can.

Fine! Give me your account number.

I'll transfer the money tomorrow.

Really? Thanks! Yes!

I'll give it to you right away.

We're like a company.

If we have big plans, we must all put up the money.

This time we have a sure win inside tip.

Are you in?

Really?

You said Sure Win was a sure win.

But you lost all our money.

This is different. The big shot said it's a sure win.

I can pay your debt with interest.

Plus a profit.

We...we lost a lot of money last time.

If I don't come up with the money soon,

my Mom will kill me. I'm in.

To put Dad in a home, I'm in.

Good!

I thought it was just you and me.

What are they doing here?

We're like this cup of milk tea.

Milk, tea and sugar are inseparable.

Sit down!

Well? Did you borrow money?

I borrowed from Cousin Kwok.

He promised to transfer the money. You'll get it when I get it.

But...

let's get this straight, I don't care how you split your shares,

if we win, I get 50% of the profit.

If we lose, you must pay up.

You have my word. You said if we lose?

Those who are afraid to lose will never win.

Hold on...you borrowed from your cousin?

Does your sister know?

Of course not!

I'm warning you, don't tell her.

I won't.

Tell her what?

Did you borrow money from Kwok to buy stocks?

He told you?

Mom overheard you.

Needless to say,

you got the stock number at the night club.

I told you not to work there.

You just never listen.

You know how hard it is to get that job?

And meet a big shot

and get a number out of him?

I won't give that up because you said so.

I would have wasted my effort.

Don't be such a stick in the mud.

I'm a stick in the mud?

Letting you work in a night club

and play the stock market makes me reasonable?

Everyone in Hong Kong plays the stock market

Are they all wrong?

Cousin Kwok checked the stock.

He thinks it's OK, that's why he agreed to lend me the money.

What pisses me off the most

is you involved him.

I'm calling him now

and tell him never to lend you any money.

Please don't! I beg you...

Just this once?

It's no different from gambling.

It's bad enough to gamble.

Not to mention on borrowed money.

I don't want you to be like Dad.

He was cheap enough to con people's money.

He lost his family

and is forever ruined.

Fine! You're always right.

I won't buy anything from now on.

For your sake, I do nothing.

I sit at home all day. Happy now?

For my sake?

Why did I work so hard?

I have to eat humble pie at work.

After work, I study till late at night.

Why?

I was hoping the three of us

won't be cooped up in that room.

So you and Mom won't have to suffer.

After what I have done,

I don't care if you don't appreciate it.

Just don't say you did it for me.

What about me?

I worked at a night club,

I borrowed money to buy stocks for you.

I don't want us

to be trapped in this tiny room forever.

I don't want you to slave yourself to support this family.

You're not the only one who has made a contribution.

Bye!

Who did you call at this hour?

Cousin Kwok.

You told him not to lend money to Ting-ting?

Kuen, it's July 14. Shall we burn paper money?

I already did. You did?

Then there's nothing to be afraid of. Yes, go to bed.

I should go to bed too.

I saw you arguing with your sister.

I was just passing by.

The stock she wanted to buy,

I chipped in the money as well.

Come on...everyone does that.

Don't act like she committed a heinous crime

I play the market too, am I a criminal?

I'm worried she'd repeat Dad's mistakes.

She has you. You'll watch out for her.

That's why I'm so worried.

You're over doing it.

As a reporter, I have seen many things.

The world is not what you have imagined.

It's more than black and white.

You can be wrong too.

You can't be too hard on your sister.

I saw you scolding your brother.

And I regret it.

He's born timid.

The more I lecture him, the more he's scared of me

and wanted to avoid me.

You want your sister to ignore you?

Relax! She's smart.

No one can con her. Don't worry!

If you can't change her, try to accept her.

That's what sisters are for, right?

Smile!

Mr. Wing! You came here to eat?

No! I want to know if you have seen Nalong.

Of course not! He's a wanted man.

Then I should go.

The Boss wants me to remind you,

today is your last day.

Remember to leave the key to the locker.

Here it is. Tell the Boss I'm leaving.

Right!

That's Nalong's bag!

He must be hiding inside.

I need to get him arrested.

But I can't call the Police.

I know...let Kit do it.

Whiskey!

What's with the long face?

ICAC has not pressed charges against me.

But I have been suspended from work.

I'm just waiting to go to jail.

Don't worry! Things can still turn around.

Just now in Kowloon City,

I saw that Thai drug dealer wanted by the Police.

His name is...

Nalong?

Yes! I saw him go inside a building.

Maybe he's hiding in there.

Let me call Yim Sir!

Wait...I only saw his picture in the newspaper

I'm not sure it was him.

Don't call Yim Sir yet.

I asked you here because I think you should check it out.

Bad idea. I'm on suspension.

I just need you to confirm.

If it was really him, then call Yim Sir.

If you arrest him,

maybe you can redeem yourself.

Here's the address.

Bloody cop! Did you rat on me?
