DIRECTOR AND ACTION DIRECTOR COREY YUEN

Stop this ruckus!

I want to watch!

TV? It's dinner time.

Go on, eat your dinner.

Dad, I want to watch my show.

Can't you see your uncles are watching the game?

Take a good look at your dad instead,

or you'll miss your chance.

Stop speaking nonsense bitch!

Nonsense? Any moment and I'll be left on my own.

You're a security guard. Why did you get involved?

Your boss pays you and you go and rat him out.

If anything happens, you think the police will feed and raise our 6 kids?

But how could I live with myself?

Do you know how many lives that container of heroin will ruin?

Daddy, for you.

Thank you, darling.

We have kids.

Would you want them to become druggies?

Good shot!

Look, Mr. Policeman.

Baby!

Birdy!

Has your problem been solved?

It's all done.

Okay.

Mr. Xia.

Your honor, I've received notice from the hospital.

That my witness, Leung, and all eight members of his family,

have been killed.

Due to Leung's death,

I no longer have an eyewitness willing to testify against

these two men, whose criminal activities

spanned drug trafficking, coercion, and murder.

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

Objection! Objection!

Objection sustained.

Prosecutor Xia please choose your words carefully.

This book holds not only the laws of our society,

but should represent without exception righteousness of the just, and

dignity of all man.

But, it's foundations are challenged now.

Objection! Your honor.

Prosecutor Xia is wasting my clients' precious time.

Objection sustained.

Let's get to the point.

My teacher once told me, that as laws are written by Man,

so too should Man stand up and take on

those who challenge our laws.

Objection!

Your honor.

No need to object.

Court adjourned until July 14.

COURT

Thank you.

Prosecutor Xia? They were acquitted?

The witness was murdered.

A dead witness...

No wonder Chow thumbed his nose at me.

Saying, "Better luck next time, I'm made of lawyers."

Prosecutor Xia... ls the law hereto 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...

One shot each, like shooting sparrows.

A delightful solution.

Hunting is a joy indeed.

I've decided to change careers and become a professional hunter.

Young man, hunters get hurt.

Be rational, and know what you're doing.

I know what I'm doing.

I know, but you have to do what's necessary.

To deal with these lowlife scum-balls.

Hi Baby do you know who I am?

Uncle, did you know I aced my test'?

Amazing! Let's buy you a present.

I'll treat you to ice cream!

Alrighty!

Daddy, money.

I thought you were treating! Go on.

What do you think?

There's justice in the law.

Just as the questions on your daughter's exams,

only have one right answer.

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.

Ice cream for all!

Criminals will pay for their crimes It's the natural law.

It's our duty.

Uncle, what's "duty."

Alright, I'll testify.

Sir, please give me the ball back.

What's your name?

They call me Lil' Fattie.

Mister, 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 now to testify against the two of you.

Good job. Has the money arrived?

Yes, thanks.

Good, we'll be in touch. Goodbye.

He's professional at bleeding us dry.

Old Wai, how much did we make on this?

Ten Million.

What? Only ten million?

I thought it was fifteen million?

Five million straight into Crown's pocket.

Old Chow, we only want peace of mind.

We can't skimp on these things.

Only he has peace of mind...

He gets rich and 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 tonight.

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 out on us.

A hit? On us?

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

Our 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.

Wait for me here.

Yes.

Boss?

- Boss? - Let's break it down!

Boss!

Hello, Boss Chow? This is Hong.

The boss has been killed.

- Bring the money to my house immediately. - Yes.

I'm on my way.

Seven myriad.

Pong

Pong! I said pong!

Do you know the rules of the game?

It's not your turn.

Trying to "teach" me Mahjong or something? You'd have better luck teaching your

wife how to give birth.

Play or move over. Stop messing around.

No, I want a referee on this.

A referee? What referee?

What are you missing? He's looking for a seven myriad.

Probably already has five, six, seven, seven, nine myriads.

Originally he was holding out for an eight myriad, but this guy took them all.

If he lets this seven myriad go what does he have left?

Is she right?

Right? She's spot on!

Mahjong is such an intricate Chinese game... How did this

foreigner guess so easily?

Hey, you called pong. Get on with it.

Are you giving UP?

No one to blame if you don't win this hand.

I don't believe you can win me.

One fan.

I take cash.

This way.

Tell the kids to spread out.

Wait for my signal, and then we act.

Shit, I have nothing with a six...

Six myriad.

Hey, wake up.

That's four myriad, not six myriad.

If 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.

...law does come before men in "lawmen" I guess you do win...

Policewomen are higher than aces... 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, the other 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?

You should be aware of your environments before making sudden moves yourself.

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.

Hey Miss, no one wants to marry someone with such a bad temper.

Sir, it's them.

Don't move.

These four! Arrest them!

One handcuff, four suspects...

Superintendent Wang 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'?

Looking like that. Take them away!

Got it.

Rotten luck you have.

Let's go.

Snack time!

I'm new here, a small introduction.

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, why didn't you molest the elephant?

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: gold fur and blue eyes, curly hair and high nose.

And, thick waists and big butts tits smaller than their paunch.

Far away, they look like potatoes. Close up, they look like a water bucket.

Face full of moles, no character at all.

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

Dragon boats?

Yes, like dragon boats.

You speak Mandarin?

Tell him who I am.

Must be a higher-up.

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.

Inspector Shi, 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 choose my own lackey.

How did you miss? Did you do it on purpose?

Sorry.

- Sorry, sorry. - It's fine.

Sorry Inspector.

Water under the bridge.

Tell me, any accomplishments since you joined the force?

Well, until now... I've showed up?

So, nothing at all?

Guess so...

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

Thank you inspector!

I picked you cause you're an idiot. Let's go!

Hey!

What are you doing?

You look like a ruffian. And you're smoking?

No smoking here, got it?

Enough!

Come over here.

What do you want?

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!

Hey! ls style illegal now?

Talking back now? I'll whack you!

- Enough! - WhY, you!

- 1750... - Yes, Inspector.

Let me introduce you to my new partner.

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

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

Who did you think I was 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.

Inspector, want a lift?

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

Well, public transit isn't iilegal 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.

Inspector, 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 Hong Kong 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.

No need to get mad, I'll move the car.

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

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...

Wow, so many tickets! Dad and I couldn't pay this off with two months of our wages.

Inspector, you're kidding right?

Do I look like I'm kidding? Start looking!

But Inspector, who said they drove? Maybe they took the subway?

And even if they drove maybe they didn't get a ticket.

And even if he did, how do we know which is his?

There were so many cars.

Exactly Inspector. And we're only looking at five surrounding streets.

If he parked on the next street over'? Then we're just wasting time here.

Very good. Go back and check six surrounding streets.

Then bring those tickets to me in the computer room.

Why another street...

Stink Egg you loudmouth.

What were you before you were a cop? A housekeeper?

How did you know?

Enough, let's get to work.

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-.

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

Send someone after him.

Yes.

I'm not bailing you out next time.

I'll let them send you straight to juvie.

Alright Bodhisattva, your love 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.

Then lets go our separate ways! Bye bye!

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 our suspect.

- Bye. - Bye.

You got it'?

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.

That's my case too.

You're involved?

Prosecutor?

Call me if you need anything.

Alright.

Goodbye.

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, catch.

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 Wang.

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 clear headed.

Drinking makes it hard to keep a clear mind.

I'm doing just fine, and am aware of my actions.

What exactly are you hereto say'?

Mr. Xia, 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 it's not a justification for breaking the law.

You've already run a red light once. You plan to run another one?

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.

Chow, I'm not really asking so much.

Not small change either...

ls 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...

If you go into the mountains often you're bound to run into a tiger.

Prosecutor Xia, what have you left to say?

There's nothing I can say.

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

I doubt he killed himself.

Prosecutor, it's over.

Walk!

Don't try anything funny.

Your little tricks won't get past me.

Xia, justice has come for you.

Xia!

I'm confident that Prosecutor Xia killed both Chow and Wai.

Superintendent Wang, I need a warrant for his arrest to bring him back

here for questioning.

Let's see what he has to say for himself.

Superintendent, you don't have to call for backup.

I'll bring him back myself, and I'll take full responsibility.

Mabel, bring me a coffee.

Would you like one?

Superintendent Wang...

One for you too then.

Mabel, make that two.

Are you going to just let him off'?

You do know the man you're after is a model citizen.

I saw him with my own eyes.

You saw him kill?

He already killed the man by the time I arrived.

He ran, I chased and we had it out.

Inspector Shi, it's not your first day.

You should know we need evidence to arrest anyone.

Evidence! Evidence! All you talk about is evidence!

Is the law here to protect criminals, or to stop them-.

Swamps,

Gramps, please eat it I already bought it.

Don't worry about where the money is from.

Well, if you're blaming me for being a bad kid,

then just remember you raised my dad,

and my dad raised me.

Not bad, old man.

Hey Gramps, don't shoot someone in the back.

Grampy what are you trying to do here? Kill the last surviving member of your family?

If I reacted any slower, I wouldn't have been able to avoid you.

Oh come on Gramps, Eat up!

Gramps, don't be mad.

When I make it I'll find you a beautiful nurse.

If you don't eat up, I'll find an old nag instead.

Bring it, Gramps! See you later!

See Gramps! Isn't the drumstick just delicious?

When was the last time you had some?

Uncle Long?

Keep your spirits high Gramps! Don't let him win!

Open up! Open up! Someone is after me!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

- What is it? - Let me in first.

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

What's happening?

Miss, someone is after me.

Min, what are you up to'?

Wow Miss, it's great up here!

If you had showed me this I'd have stayed in school.

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.

Let's talk another day.

When I don't have a date.

Right, right, I get it!

Thank you, here, go catch a movie.

Hey, there he is. Let's go.

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 more like a pirate to me.

What? Against the wall!

Where did this thousand come from'?

My friend Mr. Xia 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?

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

The black dog steals, and the white dog gets the blame.

Kid, stop messing with me.

Inspector...

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.

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

Is this easier?

Miss, 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.

Kid, stand up.

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

This kid was at the scene, I suspect he saw Prosecutor Xia 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, as long as you cooperate, you'll be okay.

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 a 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, how much do you want'?

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 Xia now?

Kid, apologize to the inspector.

Miss, 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 Shi.

Get out of here, kid.

See you later, Miss.

Inspector Shi, 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.

Inspector, I'm still writing out his statement.

What's taking you so long.

Black dog steals, white dog gets the blame... How do you spell "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, Inspector.

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!

Slow down, you're going to get yourself killed!

Wrong thing to say.

You're dead when I find you.

Grampy I'm home.

Gramps I'm home.

Grandpa!

Grandpa!

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!

I'm going to kill you.

Superintendent Wang! It's you!

What are you doing?

Superintendent Wang, let him go.

Watch yourself.

Put down the gun.

Put down the gun.

Min, 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 put us in a retirement home, 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 Wang.

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.

Hello? Hello?

I'm looking for Superintendent Wang.

This is he, whose this?

This is Prosecutor Xia.

A man tried to kill me.

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.

I'll be right there.

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

What are you saying? Who is the killer?

Superintendent Wang! 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?

Even you don't 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 Wang 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 not longer safe here, let's go.

Freeze you two!

It's you?

Did Superintendent Wang send you to kill us?

No one sent me.

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

Prosecutor Xia.

Tell me honestly did you kill Eggy and the child's grandfather?

You think I killed them?

No, he didn't kill my Gramps.

And he didn't kill that officer either.

It was that Superintendent!

Come any closer and I'll open fire.

Calm down.

You know how to work a handcuff'?

Lock yourself and the kid together.

And don't do anything stupid you hear me?

Min, 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 Wang, Prosecutor Xia is hereto see you.

Let him in.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Xia, this way please.

Hello, Prosecutor Xia.

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.

Take 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 Wang.

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 Wang, line one.

One moment.

Hello?

Superintendent Wang with all your good deeds,

are you tired yet?

How are you, Johnny? 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 Shi, line two.

Boyfriend must have looked everywhere else for you...

Thanks.

Hello?

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

I've made a date with your Superintendent.

Don't tell him it's me calling.

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

See you at the waterfront.

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 Min 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 Min's death?

No need to raise your voice, Xia...

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

I will find the evidence, and charge the guilty.

Evidence?

Min is dead. Isn't that evidence?

How many more people need to die,

before you have enough evidence?

You know, our law doesn't exist to keep the peace and uphold justice.

It's to protect those who murder without blinking.

Did you know that?

I promise you Xia, 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. Wang?

Please show yourself.

Come out! Don't think you can hide forever!

Come out!

Wang!

Can anyone hear me'? Where is Mr. Wang?

Superintendent Wang, come out!

Tell me frankly, has Mr. Wang been by?

Take me to him!

What use was it to chase me out'?

Wang, 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? Get your facts straight.

She came here with the intention of murder...

Privately, I can claim self defense.

And as an officer of the law, I have to stop her from committing murder.

Let's see if that holds up in court.

Try and see if a jury will convict a decorated police superintendent

Isn't that your job?

How could you say those things?

This isn't the courtroom, save your breath.

Prosecutor Xia...

we're the same... we're both murderers.

But you think of yourself as a hero killing the criminals...

And that I'm a monster, for killing the innocent...

Whatever excuse we choose,

according to the law, we're equally guilty.

But today, there's no judge presiding,

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

Forget about me, get him!

Hey, look that way!

Bring him up.

Yes sir.

Xia, stay with me now! Come on!

This court finds the defendant guilty of murder.

I hereby sentence the defendant to life imprisonment without the chance of parole.
