- Well, you did it again. - Thank you.

Professor, if you keep taking these big cases, sooner or later.

I know.

But you have to do what's necessary to deal with these lowlife scumballs.

But professor, don't you think it might put your own life in danger?

True, but there's more danger if they're out in society.

One of these days you'll be on your own.

Don't have much of a gift for you when you go back to Hong Kong,

but this book here should be useful to you.

And your fight against crime.

I won't let you down.

Professor, look out!

C'mon, let's get out of here. Step on it, will'ya?

- Go, go on, go - You're crazy!

Behave!

Eat your supper, stop playing!

Good shot!

Just get this bunch to listen.

Look, Mr. Policeman.

Pearl!

Baby B!

Did the boss solve his problem?

It's all done.

OK.

Mr. Ha...

Your honor, I've received notice from the hospital

My key witness Leung, and all eight members of his family,

have been killed.

Due to Leung's death,

I no longer have an eyewitness to

the criminal activities of these two men,

which spanned drug trafficking, coercion, and murder.

And so they live another day, beyond the arm of the law.

Objection! Objection!

Objection sustained.

Prosecutor Ha, please choose your words carefully.

This book is not only the rules of law,

but should also represent righteousness in our society, and dignity of humans.

But, it's now under challenge,

Objection! Your honor,

Prosecutor Ha is wasting my clients' precious time.

Objection sustained,

Let's get to the point.

My teacher once told me, that people write the laws,

But once it loses both righteousness and dignity,

then someone should step up, and face its challenger.

Objection!

You honor,

No need to object.

Court adjourned until July 14.

COURT

Thank you.

Prosecutor Ha? They were acquitted?

The witness was murdered.

A dead witness...

No wonder Chow said to me,

"Good luck catching me, I'm made of lawyers."

Prosecutor Ha... Is the law here to protect the citizens,

or the criminals?

I'd like to find out for myself.

Clear as day that he did it, yet we had to let him go.

How do you sleep at night?

Has insomnia ever solved a problem?

But all problems have a solution...

Like this...

In your opinion, will the defendant be found guilty?

No comment, excuse us.

One shot each, like shooting sparrows.

Alright, I'll gift you a hunting rifle,

and be your defense attorney.

I'm old, I've got the shakes.

You go ahead, and I'll find you innocent.

As long as you keep your word.

What a smartie! Would you like to keep this stuffed toy?

How did you know I aced my test?

I know you're a good girl, so I brought you this toy,

I'll treat you to ice cream!

Alrighty!

Daddy, I'd like some money.

I thought you were treating! Go on.

What do you think?

The police have been at this for three years,

They have eight cabinets full of documents.

And no witnesses willing to testify.

As long as you testify,

I'm certain we can put them away for good.

I have six kids, if anything happens to me...

Nothing will happen.

I promise.

Sir, please give me the ball back.

What's your name?

They call me Fat-boy.

Sir, you can't stop here.

Mr. Policeman will arrest you.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Bye now.

A whole family terminated, Crown, how venomous of you.

Let's see who else dares to testify against the two of you.

Good job, Has the money arrived?

Yes, thanks.

Good, we'll be in touch. Goodbye.

He only opens his hands for money,

Old Wai, how much did we make on this?

Ten Million.

What? Ten million?

I thought it was fifteen million?

Five million straight into Crown's pocket.

Old Chow, we only want peace of mind...

some things can't be skimped.

He has peace of mind...

The money is his, but his hands are clean,

Dragging us into court,

if only we'd known, I wouldn't have gotten into bed with him.

Let it go... if it weren't for him, we'd be eating in the prison cafeteria.

What? Cafeteria food?

If I had to eat cafeteria food, then he'll have to make do with hell money.

Chow, keep that between us.

Crown is crueler than either of us.

If he found out we were unhappy with the arrangement, he'd put a hit on us.

A hit on us?

These days, we no longer have to fight our own battles. Money can fight our battles.

No matter what you say, let's just be careful.

I'll take care of the money,

tell your men to come pick it up tomorrow.

Old Wai, be careful.

Mr. Wai.

Wait for me here.

Yes.

Boss is in trouble!

Boss?

Push!

Boss!

Hello, Boss Chow, It's Hong,

Boss Wai has been killed.

- Listen, - Yes.

Bring the money to my house immediately.

I'm on my way.

Seven Myriad.

Shit, I have nothing with a six...

Six Myriad.

Hey, wake up.

That's Four Myriad, not Six Myriad.

I say it's a six, then it's a six.

Well, if you say so...

Hey! Do you think I'm deaf, mute, or blind?

Six Myriad isn't enough... which way is the wind blowing?

The wind is blowing East.

I don't care if you're having a stroke. This is a four!

Not a six.

Shut up, I win

Win? That's a trick hand.

Police.

Lawmen are above the law... Alright, you win.

Policewomen are the trump card, anything you say, goes.

Big Buffalo.

Scram, stop blocking my luck.

I abstain when I'm gambling.

Only two women dare disturb me at the mahjong table.

One is my wife, one is my woman.

You're just a devil woman.

So you're a policewoman.

I'm telling you, this is a mahjong house.

Not the station house.

Don't you know not to make sudden movements in public?

Ma'am, you should take in your surroundings.

I'm a forward looking devil woman.

You think I'd turn around for your ass lickers?

Did you hear? She called you ass lickers.

You should show her a good ass licking,

A knot like this isn't good for your karma!

Sir, it's them.

Don't move.

These four, arrest them!

Get up.

One handcuff, four suspects...

Ma'am, Superintendent Wong is looking for you.

Alright, bring them to the station.

For conspiracy to commit murder and drug trafficking,

assaulting a police officer, resisting arrest, threatening bystanders, and...

And? There's more?

A face you can't help but hate.

- Take them back to the station. - Alright.

Rotten luck you have.

Let's go.

Snack time!

First day, a little something for everyone.

This ones for you!

Go on, don't be shy.

Go on, don't be shy.

Eat it, it's good!

Here, take one, you can type after!

What a mess!

It's delicious!

Address? Phone number?

Sir, please don't tell my wife.

Why'd you do it if you're afraid of the wife?

Let me help!

Sure, just don't touch me.

You take care of him.

Move over.

Look how mad you made him.

What'd you do?

Sexual assault.

Sexual assault? What's wrong with that?

Who did you sexually assault?

It's nothing... some foreigner's tush.

What! A foreigner?

Why would you molest a foreigner?

Seemed rare enough...

Rare? Elephants are also rare.

Hong Kong only has one, should've touched his butt.

So many Chinese woman around to assault, why the foreigner?

That's internalized racism!

What's so nice about a foreigner?

Thought she wouldn't know how to tell on me.

Just cause she wouldn't know the words?

Where's your moral compass? It's just a foreigner!

Look: Red fur and green eyes, curly hair and hooked nose.

I say to him you're beautiful!

And, thick waists and big butts.

From far away, they look like potatoes. Close up, they look like a tree trunk.

Face full of moles, no taste.

I say you good taste.

Thank you.

Hands like bear paws, and feet... feet like...

Dragon boats?

Yes, like dragon boats.

Oh, you speak Cantonese?

Tell him who I am.

The natural predator of constables: Inspectors.

You get hit too?

Shut up! Move.

You know what you did wrong?

What?

Too hard working.

Yeah?

Where have you been? I've been looking for you all morning.

Inspecting, sir.

Always working...

I have some good news.

Wai was killed last night.

Whose good deed?

Guess it's dog eat dog out there.

But as an officer of the law,

we'll have to catch the guy even if he's Robin Hood.

How perplexing.

No need to be perplexed, I've got it.

You're obviously my first choice,

but this time, I don't want you working alone.

But sir, you know,

I prefer working alone.

No need for a partner.

Cindy, this isn't as easy as it looks.

I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it on your own...

Sir,

I've made up my mind.

Alright, then let me chose my own lackey.

How could you miss from there?

Sorry,

- Sorry, sorry. - It's fine.

Sorry, madam.

Don't say sorry.

Tell me how long you've been an officer?

Any accomplishments?

Nothing really...

So, nothing at all?

Correct.

Well, from now on, you're with me.

Yes, Madam!

I'm after your uselessness.

Hey!

What are you doing?

You look like a ruffian, and you're smoking?

No smoking here, got it?

Enough!

Come over here.

What?

No bullshit, I know you have more cigarettes on you.

Give me everything in your pockets.

C'mon...

Hurry!

I knew it!

What?

No socks, hair a mess...

Look, you didn't even shave!

Is messiness illegal now?

Talking back now? I'll whack you!

- Enough! - Why, you!

- 1750 - Yes, Madam.

Let me introduce you to my new partner.

Madam, no introduction necessary, I've known him for thirty years.

Thirty years? You're thirty-two this year!

You didn't see your father before you turned two?

So you're father and son?

Yes.

That's what they say, but only he knows.

You ingrate!

Hey! Out to kill me?

Careful of the car, son!

I will, dad.

Hey, it's an expensive car.

Madam, want a lift?

No need, I'm not accustomed to fancy cars.

Well, public transit isn't illegal I suppose.

Wow, pretty lucrative to be a cop in this area.

What a beautiful Porsche...

They have a good dad.

You have one too, just a poor one.

Madam, he's really stupid, please take good care of him.

Don't let him do anything dangerous.

I only have the one son.

Don't worry, I'll take the lead on anything dangerous.

Thank you.

Dad, you're such a nag.

Should get him an English tutor.

What are you doing?

Following you?

No need, it's windy and high up.

No need to worry your dad.

Watch over the car, it's safe down here.

Can I help you?

I'm with the Royal Police. I'd like to take a look.

Come with me.

The roof is big.

This is the central air system, that's for the elevators.

This is the electrical room.

And that's the fire escape, this way.

Wait, ma'am.

We're on the same side.

Same side? I hate cops.

Fine, I'll move the car.

It takes me 11 seconds to write a ticket. Do what you have to do.

Wait a minute, you started the car? License and registration please.

Driving without a license?

I have one...

It's a learner's permit...

I'm taking the test tomorrow, just a difference of 24 hours...

I'll pass for sure!

You're hoping I'll let you off easy?

Yes!

No hope in hell.

It gives me a kick, to kick people when they're down.

Hey, we're all servants of the people.

You're giving me another one?

Hey, hey, that's enough!

I hope you never see me again.

I asked you to watch the car and you ended up with a ticket?

Do you feel at least a bit ashamed?

They were bottom trawling...

Look for yourself...

Let's see who you really are...

It's true... too many books can break you...

You want to put me behind bars with your "law"?

He's not using his brain.

Everything I have, I fought for.

Boss, let us teach him a lesson.

With money, you don't even have to use your own fists.

Send someone after him.

Yes.

I want him broken down, sleepless and crippled...

I'm not bailing you out next time.

I'll let them send you straight to Juvie.

Big Dipper, your love and truth has already moved me,

I will forever more be a good person.

Don't say things you don't mean.

You're so long-winded, even the wastrel will give up his sins.

- There's hope yet, at least you know you're a wastrel.

That's right, smart kid.

Your girl?

What do you do?

Prosecutor.

Well, won't say "see ya" then...

They caught him stealing twice...

I've only been caught stealing once...

What did you steal?

Hearts...

I'm afraid you're the one with the broken heart today,

I'm swamped, can't hang out.

That's him.

- Bye. - Bye.

Follow him.

No problem, I'm good at tailing girls.

Not her, him.

The guy?

Hey, is this work or personal?

Work or personal,

I want you to find out how he throws his punches.

Hurry, or you'll lose him.

Run him over!

Wow, she really called in the cavalry.

Hey, watch it.

Can you be more careful? We're on the same side.

Same side.

Don't move!

Police! Run!

Freeze! Stop!

You're leaving?

Don't bother.

They're just doing it for the money.

Man, you must have done something horrible.

For all those people to be after you.

No wonder even my boss is after you...

After me?

Who is your boss?

She's really one of a kind.

She's leading the investigation into Wai's murder.

I'm involved too.

You're involved?

Prosecutor?

Call me if you need anything.

Alright.

- Bye bye. - Bye bye.

Oh, I forgot to punch him.

How do I explain this?

And I'm all scratched up, Dad is going to kick up a fuss.

Dad! Careful!

If I don't push hard, the bruising won't dissipate!

Can't imagine you're more bruised than your ego!

Bring it!

Quit messing!

Hurts doesn't it?

Don't start fights.

Dad, she just really wants to break the case...

Hey Stink Egg, apple.

Hand it over!

When will you grow up?

Sorry.

Grow up? And when will you retire?

Retire? And live off you?

Stink Egg, big question, think it through before answering.

What's there to think through?

Through thick and thin.

Right Dad?

At least you know what to say.

Lend me the lighter.

Ingrate, I thought you quit.

You smoking activated my itch.

Itch? Don't see you itching to climb the career ladder.

Only playing with my heart.

Dad, I'm always looking up to Superintendent Wong.

Maybe your ambitions are a bit high then...

With your talents, how could you make superintendent?

An apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Motherfucker!

Would you like a drink?

Everyone has to take responsibility for their actions.

One should always be aware.

Drinking makes it hard to stay on top.

I'm doing just fine, and know what you're talking about.

Why exactly are you here?

Mr. Ha, do you like trains?

Yes.

I like that they're always moving forward, it's how I want to be.

Then you should know,

that trains don't move without a destination.

They follow prescribed routes and regulations.

If a train runs off course, people get hurt.

Trains don't run off course without intervention,

a person would have to sabotage it's course.

Once a track is sabotaged, innocent people get hurt.

My responsibility is to hold the saboteurs accountable.

My responsibility is the same.

If anyone damages the tracks,

I won't be a bystander.

Keeping the law and peace,

is indeed a righteous motto,

but the motto isn't a shield

that one can hide illegal activity behind.

As long as the train arrives safely,

I'll do everything in my power to destroy the saboteur.

Trains can run red lights,

but they can't get through my fingers.

Let's eat!

Again?

Don't let it go to waste!

The Hong Kong government is paying, don't miss out.

Sure, but we better not lose the guy.

I don't want to get in trouble.

Get in trouble?

We've been here for hours, the banquet is over!

They're eating shark fin, we're eating burgers.

Eat up!

Boss, we're leaving.

Are you kidding? You only eat and sleep...

What?

Curry, let's go!

Hurry!

Why won't it start?

- I don't know. - Let's go take a look.

There's an apple here?

We're all in deep shit.

Chow, I'm not really asking so much.

Not small change either.

It is to you.

Where's your little book? Hand it over.

You must be crazy.

If I handed it over, what do I have left?

I give you money, and you give me problems.

And now Wai has been murdered, and I'm being sued.

I'm telling you, if I have trouble in court.

Don't think you'll get off so easily.

I'll bring you down with me.

But what if you're dead too?

I'm a big employer.

Even if I said yes, my brothers would revolt.

Chow, there's always danger in greed.

Whether you end up on top, is the luck of the draw.

Now I control both sides of the coin.

No one can stop me.

You...

Your brothers are waiting for you in hell.

Louder, louder... they can almost hear you...

Help! Help!

Rest in peace, Chow...

You were going to see him in court later,

why are you at the defendant's house so early?

What do you have to say for yourself, Prosecutor?

There's nothing I can say.

I hope you'll calm down and investigate this clearly.

I doubt he killed himself.

Prosecutor, there's nothing left to say.

Walk!

Don't try anything funny.

Your little tricks won't get past me.

Ha, this isn't your lucky day.

Ha!

Shit.

Your honor,

since the defendant is absent,

I would like to propose that the defendant forfeit his bail,

while simultaneously putting out a warrant for his arrest.

Your honor, I request we wait another 15 minutes.

I believe my defendant is on his way.

You don't have to wait, he's never coming.

He's been murdered.

No interruptions while court is in session.

Who are you?

Your honor, I'm Senior Inspector, Cindy See.

I hope your honor will allow me to arrest

Mr. Chow's murderer, Prosecutor Ha.

Inspector See, your request is granted.

Prosecutor Ha, your hands.

Wait.

Do you have evidence indicating Prosecutor Ha's guilt?

Or I'll have to find you in contempt of the court.

Your honor, I saw Prosecutor Ha at the scene of the crime

where he resisted arrest.

If this was indeed the case, then he is suspect.

But Inspector See, are you sure you have the right man?

I'm sure.

What makes you so sure.

I'll just ask Prosecutor Ha,

where were you one hour ago?

Answer me, where were you?

Can't say, can you?

Mr. Ha, I'm putting you under arrest.

One hour ago, I was having breakfast with the Prosecutor.

- Your honor! - Inspector See,

I admire your work ethic.

But I think you have the wrong man.

Please remove yourself from my courtroom.

Otherwise, I'll have to formally charge you.

Your honor.

Since both defendants are dead,

I request that the charges be dropped.

Adjourned.

COURT

I really don't understand why he let you walk.

But don't worry, even if he lets you go.

I won't.

Better hurry then,

I'm leaving when the lights change.

Drive!

Drive, bitch!

Bitch! You think you own the road?

What? Heartbroken? Dumped?

What are you looking at?

Bitch! Think a gun makes you above the law?

Open up! Open Up! Someone is after me!

Open up!

Open up!

- What is it? - Let me in first.

Don't open the door, someone is after me.

- Munn? What's wrong? - Miss.

Someone is after me.

Why?

Munn Yu, what did you do?

Wow Miss, it's great up here.

If you showed me this, I'd have stayed in school and become a prosecutor too

How did you know I lived here?

Sir, snakes have their ways...

Hong Kong isn't a big place.

Especially a big dog like you.

I saw you yesterday.

- What did you see? - You saw him yesterday?

Don't worry, I'm not talking about him.

I went to see a friend yesterday,

but he was dead when I got there.

And so I turned to leave,

But when I did, there was a gun

pointed at my forehead.

But, no distractions.

I got rid of the gun,

in one fell swoop.

You said you didn't kill him, did you see who did?

I didn't,

but maybe the kid under the table did.

If only I could get him to be a witness, then I'd walk away innocent.

But he wouldn't do it for free...

He still has to take care of a crippled grandfather.

This is our two year anniversary.

Let's talk about this another day.

Right, right, no way I'd be in your way.

Not at all, here, go catch a movie.

Police, freeze.

Freeze!

Can't be a good kid if you run at the mention of police.

Triads often pretend to be police.

Look closely, I'm the real thing.

You look closer to a ruffian to me.

Me? A ruffian? Against the wall

Where did this thousand come from?

My friend Prosecutor Ha gave it to me.

Yeah? And why did he give you money?

Nothing to say?

Let's chat back at the station, c'mon.

Take a good look -- was he the murderer?

Madam, how many times do I have to say this? He's the white dog.

The black dog steals, and the white dog is blamed.

Kid, stop messing with me.

Madam.

Mind your own business, keep writing!

Don't talk about dogs to me.

I'm telling you, I don't care very much for dogs.

You better take a good look,

and tell me if he's the murderer!

Madam, how could I remember anything when your face is like that?

Is this easier?

Madam, where are your manners?

Finding him would be a favor, you can't blame me if I don't.

I wasn't born to recognize people for you.

If you keep this up, I'll file a complaint.

I'm not putting up with this.

You little shit,

Stand up.

Inspector See, no need to lose your patience with children.

This kid was at the scene, I suspect he saw Prosecutor Ha kill Chow.

Yeah?

Kid, come with me.

What do you want?

Don't worry, we're just going to have a little chat...

This is the police station, nothing will happen.

Kid, have you got your adult ID yet?

Not yet...

If you're smart, you might live to see it.

This is a police station, don't do anything crazy.

How much did he say he'd give you?

I'm not doing this for money.

You're a philanthropist now?

Just an overwhelming sense of righteousness.

What's the going rate for righteousness these days?

Name your price...

If you want to put money in my pockets, no reason I should turn it down.

Smart.

Kid, I wasn't as smart as you when I was your age.

My ego doesn't need stroking.

Can't eat it for lunch.

Yes, makes sense...

I believe in righteousness.

Taking your money is also taking your misfortune, know what I mean?

Alright, what's righteousness worth?

Don't stutter, as high as you can think.

One million.

Careful not to choke on a bite that big.

Don't waste food that's my motto.

Sir, can we arrest Prosecutor Ha now?

Kid, apologize to Madam.

Madam, I'm sorry... I was making it all up.

I just wanted the reward money.

I'll charge you for making false statements.

I'm underage.

I can charge you for lying.

Lying is a crime now?

- You little shit... - Inspector See.

Get out of here, kid.

See you later, Madam.

Cindy, we have a lot of work to do.

Kids will be kids, just a prank.

Let's not waste manpower.

Back to work.

Stink egg, I want you tailing that boy.

Madam, I'm still writing out his statement.

What's taking you so long.

Black dog steals, white dog gets the blame... How do you write "blame"?

Are you kidding me? Sound it out.

Never known hardship have you?

Water radical on top, fire on the bottom.

Are you illiterate?

Follow the kid, don't let him get away.

Yes Madam.

Bo, finish this for me will you?

I have to tail that kid.

Watch where you're going, got in trouble again?

Trouble Schmouble dad,

I'm on an important mission.

I'm off to tail the kid.

Well, you better get to it.

I'm a tailing master.

Take the drumstick, trade you for the pack of smokes.

You little shit, smoking is bad for you.

Alright, I'm off.

Sorry!

Really, sorry.

Dad, I'm off!

Rushing to be reincarnated?

Wrong thing to say.

You're dead when I find you.

Gramps I'm home.

Gramps I'm home.

Gramps, open up!

I'm home!

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

Sir, what are you doing? We had an agreement.

Let go of my grandpa.

Let go of gramps, or I'm telling on you.

Grandpa, don't worry.

Gramps!

It's me you're after.

Grandpa doesn't know anything, he's mute.

Kill me, killing grandpa is useless.

I saw you kill him, not grandpa.

Gramps!

Gramps!

I'm going to kill you.

Superintendent Wong! It's you!

What are you doing?

Superintendent Wong, let him go.

Hey! Don't do anything rash!

Put down the gun.

Put down the gun!

Munn, run!

Loud Mouth! The night is young!

What is it? Dragging me out here...

- Elder Chai. - Elder Chai.

- Elder Chai. - Elder Chai.

What is it?

Elder Chai...

What is it? Ask your questions, say your mind.

Or why do they keep us walking history books around?

Or they would've retired us, no?

You really want to go in? Elder Chai?

I think you shouldn't...

Why are you being mysterious?

What do you say to a man burying his son?

What do we say to him?

Just don't say trash.

Like "everything happens for a reason" or "I know how you feel"...

It's all nonsense.

Well, that's all I know to say...

He's coming.

Always telling me to retire...

Thankfully I didn't listen to you...

Who would take care of me?

Strong and healthy... and first to go...

Don't be sad.

Everything happens for a reason, Elder Chai.

I know how you feel, and I'm sorry for our loss.

Thank you, Superintendent Wong.

Eggy was a bit rough around the edges.

But he was really ambitious.

And always looked up to you.

I know, I know.

He was a good cop.

Both of you are good cops.

All good cops should know, that good always prevails.

It always prevails.

I know.

Don't cry.

I won't.

I won't cry, I won't.

I told you to wear socks.

And I really didn't mind the smoking so much.

His address is on the back.

Hey, hey.

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

I'm looking for Superintendent Wong.

I'm he, whose this?

This is Prosecutor Ha.

An assassin paid me a visit.

Really? What's the situation now?

He's dead on my carpet.

Please don't touch anything.

And I think he killed the entire Leung family.

I'm on my way.

Alright, I'll be here.

Don't believe him, he's the killer!

What are you saying? Who is the killer?

Superintendent Wong! You were just on the phone with him!

He's the killer?

Who did he kill?

I watched him kill Chow.

And he just tried to kill me.

Really?

Why don't you believe me?

If I hadn't come yesterday just trying to help.

If I didn't tell the policewoman that you didn't kill Chow.

Then Superintendent Wong wouldn't know I was there.

And that's why he wants to silence you?

Yes, and he killed my gramps.

He even killed my grandpa.

Gramps! Gramps!

Shit, and I just called him.

We're no longer safe here, let's go.

Freeze you two!

It's you?

Did Superintendent Wong send you to kill us?

No one sent me.

If I had a license to kill you'd already be dead.

Prosecutor Ha, an eye for an eye.

You killed Eggy and that kid's grandpa.

You'll never get away.

You said I killed them?

No, he didn't kill my gramps.

And he didn't kill that officer either.

It was that evil superintendent!

Come any closer and I'll open fire.

Stay calm.

You know how to work a handcuff?

Lock yourself and the kid together.

And don't do anything stupid you hear me?

Muun, don't be scared, we'll go with her.

Nothing will happen.

No way! All cops are bad!

Don't go!

He's just a kid, and you won't let him go?

Come in.

Superintendent Wong, Prosecutor Ha is here to see you.

Let him in.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Ha, this way please.

Hello, Prosecutor Ha.

Sorry, I didn't realize you were cuffed.

Yes, sir.

You wanted to see me... what about?

I wanted to see the difference between Man and beast.

I was looking at the same.

Actually, there isn't much of a difference.

The same eyes, ears, mouth and nose...

There's a difference. Beasts have tails.

Which will eventually reveal itself.

Yes, yes... but tail or not,

everyone is equal in the eyes of the law.

Like murdering, whether those who are killed are good or bad,

they still call it murder.

All murderers end up in cuffs, sooner or later.

As long as you understand, Superintendent Wong.

Even if I'm wearing cuffs,

I can still take care of beasts like you.

I know, I really do... As a prosecutor,

you keep the peace with just some sweet words.

No need to be a vigilante.

It's a dangerous game to enter.

Believe in the law, trust in the law.

Remember, good always prevails.

Kid, if you love hunting,

go shoot birds in the forest.

Tiger is too big a game for you.

Sir, we're not pressing charges?

Superintendent Wong, line one.

Take the cal!

Hello?

Superintendent Wong, with all your bad deeds,

how's your health?

How are you, John? It's been a while.

It's alright if you've already forgotten me.

As long as you remember the little book of accounts.

That can't be right...

the "If I handed it over, what do I have left?" book.

That can't be...

Well, do you know where it is?

What do you suggest?

Money. No haggling, no tricks.

One million.

As you say then.

Hold him for 48 hours.

Charge him, or let him go.

Yes, sir.

Inspector See, line two.

Boyfriend must have looked everywhere else for you.

Thanks.

Hello?

Inspector, I have a plan to prove Ha's innocence.

I've made a date with your Superintendent,

don't tell him it's me on the line.

Sure, it's been a while since I last saw a film.

See you at the harbor-front.

Karen, the kid is on your left.

He's wearing sunglasses,

listening to his walkman, blue bomber jacket, pink sleeves.

I have eyes on him.

The kid is tricky, watch out.

Don't worry, I won't let you down.

Alright, good luck.

Get down!

Stop!

Stop!

Get down!

How is Munn doing?

Take a look for yourself.

Ask him, maybe if you're loud enough,

he'll hear you.

And he'll tell you.

That our society is now beyond the law.

And that there is no justice left in the world.

That law keepers like you and I aren't worthy of his trust.

You...

Always thought you were doing the right thing...

Let me ask you...

Who is responsible for Munn's death?

No need to raise your voice, Ha.

I'm as torn up over Munn's death as you are.

I will find the evidence, and charge the guilty.

Evidence?

Munn is dead, isn't that evidence?

How many more people need to die,

while you get your evidence against that monster?

Our law,

isn't to keep the peace and uphold justice,

it's to protect those who murder without blinking.

Did you know that?

I promise you Ha, I want justice more than even you.

I'm also able to counter violence with violence.

And I would be even more thorough than you.

Just you watch.

Mr. Wong?

Come out now!

I'm looking for you, Mr. Wong...

I know you're here.

Come out to see me.

You can't hear me? You're all deaf?

Superintendent Wong, today is your judgment day.

Tell me, has Mr. Wong been by?

Take me to him!

What use was it to chase me out?

Wong, I'll never let go of you!

That's my line.

Playing hero?

Let me tell you, this world is a cruel one.

This is the fate of heroes.

How could you kill such a loyal co-worker?

You really had no qualms against killing her?

Who said I killed her?

You won't find any prints.

You won't find any witnesses.

I was having breakfast with the judge this morning,

and she was like this when I got here.

Must have killed herself.

How could you say those things?

This isn't the courtroom, save your breath.

Prosecutor Ha,

we're the same.

You kill the guilty, ridding the world of villains.

And I kill the innocent, those who talk.

Whatever excuse we choose,

according to the law, we're equally guilty.

But today, there's no judge presiding.

And it's just to two of us who have to decide.
