Original subtitles

Your recent operations have been failures.

So I have to re-evaluate your present proposal.

Colonel Murphy, it's better to stay put than make a move.

Instead of fighting a losing battle,

why not save all this precious money and spend it on the police?

So it's impractical to fight the pirates now?

I'm basing my facts on your track record.

Let's take a look at last year.

Before you even managed to spot Lo Sam-Pads island,

the strong wind had already sunk your ship.

That was a matter of weather problems.

What about the year before?

You said that you would definitely capture the “Yellow Dragon” and return victorious.

But you got lost in the sea and ended up in Bangladesh.

All of you returned with exhausted limbs. How can you explain that?

We were unfamiliar with the geography at the time.

Your Water Police wasted a lot of money on pirates.

Our police have not had a pay rise or bonus for two years because of this.

It's hard for me when my officers are complaining.

That's an internal relationship problem of your police department.

What has it got to do with us?

It's for your own good.

I'm against taking unnecessary risks.

So am I.

All right.

Lieutenant Shin, if you’re confident it’ll work, then go ahead.

Hey, Brother Lung! You're wanted immediately.

Brother Lung.

Go get the papers signed.

Thanks.

Morning!

What's the rush?

Captain Chik, please sign the papers.

Is there a world war?

You want that much ammunition?

We need that much to fight the pirates.

Nonsense, you think thieves only operate at sea in Hong Kong?

Okay, you take all the ammunition,

then we have to cut down a little on our part.

Corporal!

Tell our men to practice the strength of their legs.

No shooting at criminals. We'll run after them instead.

Are you satisfied?

If you're good marksmen,

one bullet can kill one pirate.

A cannonball can kill a few dozen pirates.

Then you won't need so much ammunition.

Captain Chik, “no” would be enough if you don't accept the request.

You really need to talk that much?

What? Is that how you talk to your superior?

Look at yourself. You can't even stand correctly.

Been sitting in a boat at sea for too long?

Wonder how your superiors teach you discipline?

I couldn't care less!

You may go now.

Once I sign this, I'll give it to the armory department.

Halt!

Lucky for you you're not in my department. Get out!

Writing a letter to your mom?

Tell her not to worry, we'll be back in a couple of days.

- Don't forget your life jacket. - I'll sleep in it.

Why are you all so sad? Cheer up.

Hey, we may not even find the pirates. Why so afraid?

The cops are watching us.

We'd better show a bit more spirit. Don't let them look down on us.

Brother Lung!

Is everybody here?

- Are we really leaving? - Yeah, we're sailing tomorrow night.

Why have you got such long faces?

Hey, waiter, a beer for everyone.

Thanks very much!

I'm getting dizzy from all the work.

Chi, over here.

Beer for everyone.

Why are you so late?

Sit down here. This is my girlfriend — Piggy.

Piggy!

- Finish this drink first. - Piggy!

- Come on. - Get us some beer.

- Who's the toughest? - The Water Police!

- Who's the best? - The Water Police!

To us, cheers.

Are you drinking or selling your beer?

- Let them be. - Save the speech for the funerals.

- What's that? - That is beyond your understanding.

Forget it.

- Hurry! - Sorry. What would you like to drink?

- Beer. - Thanks.

Hey. can I join you?

- Hua. - Sit down.

- What are they celebrating? - They're going to fight the pirates.

They'll be sailing tomorrow. Might not have the chance to drink again.

I'll get you some milk.

Don't teach her bad habits. I'll get you a glass of beer.

A big glass.

We haven't had a pay rise for the last two years.

Because these bums waste good money chasing after pirates.

The worst is that they've been out sailing twice

and haven’t even seen the shadow of Lo Sam-Pao.

Don't take it personally.

They probably don't even know if the island is to the east or west.

What's that?!

We're sailing tomorrow. Stay out of trouble.

Tai Po, get the bill.

Get the bill!

Sha Pi, I heard you're going home to your village tomorrow?

Yes.

- Where's your village located? - Guangzhou.

Beware of pirates, don't travel by boat.

- Hey, how should he get there? - Walk all the way to Guangzhou.

Is the order on land so much better?

Mind your own business!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Regarding the safety of the sea, we feel quite ashamed of it.

I have an uncle who recently came here from the village.

He said I didn't have to pick him up.

Your uncle's blind, how does he know the way?

He says he can use his ears for that.

- If he hears someone selling Wife Cake... - Then he's reached Yuen Long!

- If he smells roast goose... - He's arrived in Shen Jang!

- If he hears “BB” whistling... - “BB” right...

It's Hong Kong.

That's right.

Even children know this song.

One, two, three, four

Big heads in green uniforms whistling “BB” when failing to capture the criminals

Whistling “BB”!

Whistling “BB” when failing to capture the criminals

- What are you doing? - Don't be hasty!

Stop fighting. Hold it!

Don't you hear me?! Stop fighting!

Everyone, it was just for a bit of a laugh, right?

It's our fault. Let me make a toast to everybody.

Forget it. We're family, don't fight each other.

- Why so rude? - None of your business!

- What are you doing? - Let's go.

Hey, are you okay'?

I'm okay.

The toast was yours. Makes no difference if the uniform or the person got the beer.

- Let's go. - Hey!

My suit “drank” your beer as well.

Sorry.

No need to apologize.

I'll give you two choices...

The first is to apologize. The second...

I don't know how to apologize. I choose the second option.

Enough! We're friends, why fight?

What friends?

Messing with my face?

When I find you, I'll give you a mouthful.

Damn you!

What's going on?

Water Police are beating up the land police...

Give me a hand!

Stop fighting!

Stop fighting, we're the police.

We're all law enforcers.

You'll be full!

I'll be back for you!

Sorry, I didn't mean it.

It's me!

I must get my vengeance! 211!

Luckily I remember your number. You'll be in for it when I find you!

211!

Who's looking for me? What's happening?

Doesn't matter now.

_ Stop fighting! " Stop!

You're supposed to know the law, and yet you're breaking it!

Arrest them all!

- Get up. - Calm down. We're the Water Police.

Uncle.

Let's go home first.

You know we're sailing tomorrow, yet you're detaining my men.

How can we take off, then?

Only a few of them.

These few are my navigators. How can we sail without them?

The superiors know all about this.

Do they also know your nephew had a part in it?

I guess they can all go now? Why don't you thank Captain Chik?

No need for that!

Behave yourselves from now on!

Father.

Go home.

Uncle Hei!

Sorry for troubling you this late.

Sorry for what?

If I were there, I'd have contributed to the fight.

These outrageous cops... I've wanted to beat them up for so long.

What are you staring at?!

Fall in.

In this mission, you'll die before you fail.

When you run into enemies, what should you do?

Kill one wrongly rather than letting one go!

And if wounded while fighting the enemy?

Go for it, don't feel pain!

And when captured by the pirates?

Speak up!

What shall you do?

You, come here.

Speak.

Speak, or you'll be shot.

Good. You'd rather die than talk.

Step down!

The parade's over.

Now that this is completed,

if you have the same bravery as in the brawl with the cops,

when fighting the pirates, I'm sure you'll return victorious.

Returning victorious!

We built five ships, why are there only three?

Two of them are damaged due to leakage.

I thought we couldn't see them because they were submarines.

Two ships less means the others will be more crowded?

So be it, they aren't actually going on a cruise vacation.

It won't be crowded on the way back.

Let's go!

Put the fire out now!

Two of our ships exploded!

Put the fire out!

Put the fire out now!

I'll arrange for a ship to take you to Vietnam.

You've been with me for so long, I won't mistreat you.

I'll be having some guests, you can leave.

Cheung Sam.

The cops are desperate to look for you. Don't go out if it's not necessary.

Thanks to your information,

we managed to blow up their ships before they could sail out.

Actually, we've done them a favor.

If we'd blown them up at sea, they would still be swimming now.

All credit to you.

Don't mention it.

All my company ships travel safely thanks to Master Sam's protection.

It's me who should thank him.

I'm happy to hear you say that.

Master Sam would like another favor from you.

He needs 100 rifles like this.

We'll pay you for them.

If that is Master Sam's request, I'll definitely do it.

Brother Cho-Kou...

you can count on me.

Then we'll count on you. Goodbye.

Take care.

Boss, those are police guns. How can we get 100 of them?

I had no choice but to accept this difficult request.

The question is who we should hire to do the job.

Let's use Cheung Sam.

No...

Cheung Sam will attract attention.

- Contact Cheuk Yat-Fei. - Cheuk Yat-Fei?

Cheuk Yat-Fei is quite expensive.

Expensive, yes,

but after completing the job, he might not be alive to get the money.

Pong! I won!

- On what? - On a West.

When did I discard a West? Ask the two of them!

He discarded “One Circle.”

The West tile was discarded ages ago, stupid!

_ 80-- - So what? You should be fined.

Yeah, pay us.

- I'm finished. - Suit yourself.

Foreman! We need a player!

I'll join you.

TABLE SIX. ¢1O

TABLE ONE. $1

- Banker! Price it! - Coming.

Give me a minute, Brother Fei.

Second Uncle, have a look at this.

A broken rusty watch. $3.

It belongs to Brother Fei.

Then it's a gold watch. $100.

Yes.

- Shit! - Not this one.

- “Forty Thousand.” - Okay!

It doesn't matter what you have if you don't make a bet with money.

Twelve banknotes, I'll win this hand.

Playing with 12 banknotes?

“Eight Circles.”

What are you looking at?

- I'm sorry, Brother Fei. - Hey, your turn.

“Six Barn boos.”

It's not so easy to win.

You dare to discard “20,000”?

I didn't discard that.

You didn't?

I clearly saw that you did! Don't you all agree?

- He discarded “Five Circles.” - He didn't lie to you.

- Right? - No, unless you swear to it!

Sure, I will swear to it!

Listen, everybody! I swear that I discarded “Five Circles.”

If I discarded “20,000," my finger will get broken!

- “Five Circles”? - Yes.

All right.

No-points winning hand!

It's a no-points winning hand!

- You're something. - I am!

Quick, don't waste time, give me my money.

- I won. - Little brat, you're cheating?

Still not admitting it?!

Pong!

I'm sorry.

Don't worry, it's my turn now.

Hey!

Get up.

Don't go just yet.

Can't you see I'm still able to win? It's my turn to pick a tile.

It's a full house. I've won, no more bullshit.

Brother Fe“.!

We'd like your help on a deal.

Do you know how much my winning hand was worth?

This is my new plan, it's called Project A.

What's special about this is this...

First of all, we need to buy new ships.

Save your breath. Go home and get some rest.

I'm not tired, no need to rest.

Secondly, we need more new recruits.

Let me tell you, your men have disappointed me so much.

I'll have them disbanded.

I'm turning them over to Captain Chik from tomorrow.

You're now in charge of fund raising.

Reinforcements from England will capture the pirates.

You have no business here anymore! Get out of my sight!

- Change your uniforms now. - Why?

If there are questions, ask our superior.

Are you kidding? They want us to wear police uniforms?

They're not kidding. They're closing down our operation.

Who cares about what uniform we wear? As long as I still get paid.

Better than risking our lives to fight the pirates.

Congratulations, everyone.

Congratulations on your new status.

Congratulations!

Now you don't need to endure the hardship of the sea.

- What about you? - Me? I've also been promoted.

Now I am the Chairman of Fundraising.

What kind of chairman?

Why aren't you changing uniforms?

Change uniforms.

That's an order.

Go see Captain Chik.

Go on!

Captain Chik, I'm reporting for duty.

You're Sergeant Ma Yu-Lung of the Water Police?

The Water Police are history now...

I don't care what you did in the Water Police.

You're now a land police officer.

When speaking to a superior in this force, only two words are needed.

The first is “Yes,” and the second is “No.”

Look at you.

You call that attention?

When saluting your superior,

the proper way is to stand up, chest out, stomach in, buttocks out.

Nothing should stand in the way from the nose to the toes.

I'll now ask you. Are you Ma Yu-Lung, number 213?

Answer!

Are you stupid as a pig?

Answer me!

Not bad.

Reporting for duty!

You arrived just in time. This is Sergeant Ma Yu-Lung.

This is our trainee inspector, Hong Tin-Chi.

Inspector Hong has excellent achievements from the academy.

He'll be your squad leader

and train you to be a Special Mission squad.

That will be all. Get out.

Come back!

Have you already forgotten the proper way to salute?

We're in trouble.

Start training them tomorrow. If you want them to listen,

be sure to give them a hard time from the beginning.

Come on! Fall in.

You, come here.

Show me how you salute.

Stomach in, chest out, buttocks out.

Go and practice 500 times.

I don't care how sloppy you used to be in the Water Police.

You're now in the police.

As part of this squad, you have to be fit and smart.

- That girl's gorgeous. - She's also got a great figure.

She's really fit.

209, 214, come here.

What were you talking about?

Speak up!

- He said that girl's gorgeous. - He said she's got a great figure.

- He said she's really fit. - Go over there and recite 500 times.

A thousand times.

- That girl's gorgeous. - She's also got a great figure.

Who was laughing?

- It was me, sir. - Come here.

- You were laughing? - No one else admitted it, so I did.

- You alone can laugh that loud? - I've got a huge mouth.

Do you know what the penalty is?

Yes. Go over there and laugh a thousand times.

Get him over there... for execution!

- That girl's gorgeous. - She's also got a great figure.

Execution is done! But he fainted before we could fire.

Wake him up, and make him wash all the toilets.

Big Mouth, rest in peace. We'll remember you forever.

Amen.

Amen.

How can you still have an appetite?

We don't.

Even if we don't eat, it won't bring Big Mouth back.

Big Mouth, I owed you $5. Now I give it back to you.

Right, I don't owe you money now. Please don't haunt me as a ghost.

- I owe him $5, too. - Me, too.

Here's your money. We're even now.

- There. - Don't come looking for me now.

Oh, my! This isn't happening...

What's with you?

Telling you won't make any difference! I needed the money...

Big Mouth, it was me who took $10 from under your mattress.

I didn't mean to steal from you, but I needed it. Here you go.

So you were the thief! Big Mouth and I fought over that!

Oh, my! This isn't real!

Big Mouth, they've actually treated you well.

And they've paid all of your money back.

I hope you'll rest in peace and be a good man, not a ghost.

- Thanks, Brother Lung. - Let's eat.

- You're not dead?! - Lend me $10!

Eat!

Why are you here after everyone has finished their meal? Think you're special?

Go to your lessons now!

That girl's gorgeous. She's also got a great figure.

That girl's gorgeous. She's also got a great figure.

That girl's gorgeous. She's also got a great figure--

Hey, what's the matter?

I just had a dream in which I slapped Chi.

Nuts.

I was probably dreaming.

What's so important that we have to assemble urgently?

- An urgent matter, of course! - No shit!

Hurry up and get dressed! Quickly!

You might have had too much soup during last evening's meal.

So I woke you all up to take a piss.

Sergeant.

Take them all for a piss, then dismiss them.

Ready.

Let's piss! March!

When we're on the beat, there's a chance of a sudden attack.

So, it's important to practice grabbing fist techniques. I need three.

Line up.

Chokehold me.

With strength!

Again!

Attack with a fist.

Well? Did you see that? Clean and neat.

You laughed again?

I didn't laugh! My mouth was born open! I really didn't laugh!

Come here, you.

You're now the thief. Attack me.

Paper. You lose.

For real now.

- See that? - Sir!

- Inspector, it's hurting him! - It won't work if it doesn't hurt.

Isn't this torture?

According to the rules, an instructor can request his subordinates to train.

You come up now.

You're now the thief. Attack me.

- I didn't say you could resist! - If I were the thief, I wouldn't listen.

Right, now we'll do it for real!

I was just acting on my instincts!

That's an order!

Now you're apprehended!

Is this part of the lesson?

According to the rules, an instructor can test a student's physical strength.

I'm testing you now!

You're humiliating an instructor!

Sir! According to the rules, I should overcome the test challenges!

I'm acting accordingly!

Fine! We do it again!

Sir! According to the rules,

instructors and students should obey the principal's orders. The lesson's over.

Dismissed!

Salute!

All our actions require speed.

Ten seconds is enough for such a simple task. Ready.

Start!

One, two, three,

four, five,

six, seven, eight,

nine, ten.

This is to train you to be ready anytime. It's my turn now.

- Instructor, you'll take ten seconds too? - I'm an instructor. 45 seconds.

Hey, water ladle!

Give me a water ladle.

- You do it. - You.

That's an order!

There!

We might have to use some deadly weapons on our missions.

This is the latest hand grenade. You might not have used it before.

I'll give you a demonstration.

Pull the pin out. It must be thrown within ten seconds.

Bang! It's just exploded. Have you got it?

Big Mouth, bring it back here.

- All done? - Done.

Sergeant, do you think you're outstanding?

So why have you stepped up?

Let's take turns throwing it. Sergeant, you first.

- Sergeant hasn't memorized the steps yet. - I have!

Best have another demonstration, sir.

All right. I'll go over it again.

Firstly--

How could I not understand such a simple thing?

I gave him a real hand grenade.

Pull the pin.

I'll throw this at you. Watch carefully.

Sir, throw it away, it's the real thing!

Sit down.

Our current mission is to arrest the criminal Cheung Sam.

The challenge is that he's hiding in the VIP Club.

The steps involve entering the club to arrest him.

What's forbidden is when we're arresting him,

we are not allowed to disturb the members of the club.

The outcome of our mission is to...

Arrest Cheung Sam!

I can't do it alone.

I'll let you know when I've made my mind up.

Don't take too long. The quicker the better.

Remember, don't cause a disturbance until we find Cheung Sam.

We do know what good manners mean.

You cover here. Let's go.

Membership cards, please.

Police.

May I ask what you people. . .?

This is not a membership card.

Police. A criminal might be hiding here, so we want to have a look.

Wait here.

If you don't understand English, I can translate.

Our members are rich and famous. No need for a search.

You can leave now.

Can't we go in and have a drink?

Have a drink? How much do you earn a month?

Break a glass, and you might not have enough money to pay for it.

Stop!

Stop there!

Don't get impulsive.

Not my fault, he did it to himself by going to tip them off.

Lucky I didn’t break the stuff, or else how could I afford--

Do you know who my boss is?

- I don't need to know. - I know that my only boss is the Queen.

Okay.

You can already see it all. Take a look and then leave.

You've seen everything. Upstairs is the manager's office.

Hey! Don't open it!

It's the police.

Cheung Sam, seems you've done lots of bad things.

Every scumbag in Hong Kong is here. That'll save me time looking for each one.

Cheung Sam, we're arresting you for murder and drug trafficking.

I'm also booking you for insulting a policeman.

This is the warrant.

Now you know the charges!

Lung, we've come for an arrest, not a fight.

Beat him up!

Don't be afraid. We're here for an arrest.

- You can't go up. - Get lost!

Get me someone who speaks Chinese.

You two scum are responsible for all the damages.

Get him!

- Hide yourself first. - Hurry.

See.

Stop it!

Sir.

- Do you have a warrant for this? - No.

You tell me, Sergeant!

We were informed that the criminal Cheung Sam was here.

Where is he now?

- Upstairs-- - Outrageous!

You're trespassing on my property and accusing me falsely.

Captain Chik, look how your men have made a mess of my place!

Do you know what you're doing, Sergeant? Chi's inexperienced, so that's forgivable.

He's a drill instructor. You should know better.

Uncle.

None of your business. Sergeant, apologize to Mr. Chou.

Apologize? What have we done wrong?

They're hiding felons and assaulting us. Why must I apologize?

Captain Chik, I'll make a complaint to the colonel.

You're supporting your men in slandering me.

Stand there.

I'll prove that I'm not slandering him.

I order you to apologize to Mr. Chou.

Do you know the consequences of disobeying an order?

I didn't know, but now I do!

I'm no longer your subordinate. No need to obey your order!

You dare to desert the force?

Get him! Don't let him go upstairs.

Hold it, everybody!

You get the credit for success, while I have to suffer for all failures!

Lung.

Just an inch, and my nose would be gone!

How are you?

Don't be so mad to the point of ignoring a friend.

Long time no see, don't vent your anger on me.

Were you in the club just then?

I followed you because I thought there was a show to watch.

In this world of evil, one man's strength is not enough.

So you want me to change job and join you as a thief.

Don't mention the word “thief.”

Since you joined the force, I've gone straight.

Otherwise, I wouldn't dare walk with you.

Now that you've quit, someone will even smile while sleeping.

Why?

You want to get rid of the pirates, but not everyone is like you.

That can't be.

No? Your last sea mission was a secret, yet your ships got blown up.

Betrayal from within I'd say.

- You're speculating. - Speculating? I'm going to tip you off.

Someone in your force is selling rifles to pirates.

Special news!

Special news!

Lo Sam-Pao struck again! Three dead, 24 injured. Special news!

Who sells guns to pirates?

Why do you want to know?

I want to know who's so evil-minded to do such a thing.

Thanks.

Why do you know so much? Are you thinking of stealing those rifles?

In Hong Kong, there are only four kinds of people.

I don't qualify to be the rich. I don't want to be the poor.

The cops don't want me. What else can I be but a thief?

As you're my friend, I'll be a good thief.

In this rifle deal, everyone is a bad guy.

You can get rid of the evil, while I make money on the side.

I've bet on this deal.

- Where? - The day after tomorrow, at Liu's bay.

Get these on board.

The pier drifted away! Help him up quickly!

- Quickly! - Someone's here!

Don't shoot!

Do you know that robbery is a serious crime?

In character! You're selling arms to pirates!

Officer, how should he be sentenced?

- Beheading by law! - That I'll do.

We're surrounded by water. How should we proceed?

Let's make it easier for him. Let me throw them all in the water.

Why aren't you down there?

I can't swim.

Really?

Really.

- Well? - Well what?

What should we do?

Since you are an old man, let me give you a lifebuoy.

Then let Heaven decide the rest!

- Thanks very much. - Don't mention it.

- Help! - Let's go.

I can't swim!

Save me, quickly!

Save me, quickly!

What will you do with these guns?

Find some buyers, or they'll rot in there.

Hey, beware of who you're selling them to. Don't just do it for money's sake.

These are guns. Dangerous things.

Relax.

Half of them go to Sun Yat Sen to support their uprising.

Is that okay, then?

- Then I'm glad I helped you. - Come on.

Hey, what's that?

To identify the log. Only we know about this.

If it's revealed, then it's either you or me.

Hey, why don't you get dressed quickly?

- I'm embarrassed. - Why? They've seen plenty of it already.

Brother Fei, these new clothes are yours. Those are for your friend.

Fine. Go out.

Hey!

Fine... All of you, out.

Let's head out. Go. Let's go out and get ready.

- Hey, where are you going? - I'm gonna find the best girl for you.

Have you finished bathing, Brother Fei? Over here.

Fat boy is such a smartass. How could so many guns be hidden in this place?

Still, we should do a routine search.

Look over there.

- Nothing. - I already knew there would be nothing.

Let's get outta here!

Go!

- All of you, search around here. - Yes!

Go.

Nothing.

- Where's the money? - Here.

The money's here. The goods?

I'm not a three-year-old. Think I'd keep the rifles here?

The correct sum? Where are the rifles?

The guns are in the log yard.

I'll take you there at dawn.

Hey! What are you doing?

Can't you see I'm peeping?

Guards, come here!

Don't fight! He's with me.

Hey, you know who he is?

Don't treat him like that. He's my partner.

- Don't you know he's a cop? - He's a thief now.

Would he rat us out?

If you don't trust me, we can stop the transaction.

Others are lining up to buy these guns.

Actually, you have nothing to fear.

This is your turf.

Even if I cheated you, I wouldn't be able to get away from you.

All right. I trust you.

Let's go.

- You nearly sabotaged me! - Hey, watch it. It's an expensive vest.

They're not a good bunch, why sell the guns to them?

Would a good bunch buy these guns? Would you rather I sold them to the cops?

They'll kill you as soon as they get the guns!

I already predicted that.

Also, you--

Who's that?

Why did you come so late?

Come here.

This is my good friend. Look after him.

Her name is Lovely.

Don't hesitate anymore. There are guards outside.

Just get a good rest.

Take good care of him!

- Where are you off to? - I need to look for my lovely.

Miss, are there many guards outside?

Do you know a way out?

Can you do me a favor?

Tell Captain Shih at the station that there are guns buried at the pier

under a log wrapped with a red cloth, stolen from the station. Tell him to go!

Do you understand?

Let me hear you say it.

You're... a mute?

You heard what I said?

Here.

So many logs here. Which one is it?

It's very easy to find. I've nailed a red cloth on that log.

Right there--

- They all have a red cloth. - Which one?

Which one is it, Cheuk Yat-Fei?

I think we'll have to turn them over one by one.

- Every one of them. - Right!

I'm warning you, Fei. Don't play games with us.

Or we'll get rough with you.

- Don't use your hands or feet. - Hey.

I knew you'd pull that on me.

- You can't afford to double-cross us. - You think I'm that kind of guy?

If you don't speak up, we'll kill you right away.

Everyone leave. This place is closed to the public today.

It's the cops! Scram!

You're quite something! Even called the cops here.

It wasn't me.

What are you doing here?

I sell logs.

He said his father is dying and asked me to pick a nice log.

It's about the right time for him to do this.

Hey! This one's not bad!

You're a quite filial son.

But it's closed. Come some other day.

We won't disturb you, then.

Goodbye, then.

So many cops around, what now?

He can't get away. We'll deal with him once we leave here.

Hey, we're leaving.

Let's go!

This place is clear now.

Lung said it's the one without a red cloth.

Look for it.

- Sorry! - What the hell are you doing?

You crazy?

What?

Captain Chik wasn't selling the guns to pirates?

No, he was lending them to the government.

Damn fat boy!

Womanizer!

Thanks to you, Father will recover those rifles.

Hey, how did you know their whereabouts?

How?

I eavesdropped.

They even discovered me.

What happened, then?

I was surrounded by ten people.

_ 80-- - But none of them were a match for me.

One got my punch! Three got my kick!

There was only one fat guy left standing in my way.

I had a long fight with him

until we reached the 36th fighting move.

At last, I overpowered him with my grabbing fist move.

Then I told him if the pirates got those rifles,

many innocent people would suffer.

That's right.

He was moved by my speech and told me where the guns were hidden.

Lung, you're great.

Damn punk! I thought you'd get better deals for betraying me.

So it was only for a kiss? If I knew, I'd have kissed you!

- Hey, you! - I'll deal with you later.

Kid! Have you seen a fat guy?

A fat guy? He went that way!

Think I'd thank you for not revealing me?

Hey, I'm sure I just heard his voice!

He's in there.

You're quite something!

Stand aside!

Hey, you two shouldn't be chasing me.

The rifles got stolen by that young guy!

- Lung, - Run!

After them!

Come on!

Where are the rifles?

- Ask this kid here. - Speak.

- The police station. - What?!

Don't use the gun if you can't handle it, okay?

Damn you! You conned me? What a friend you are!

- You conned me first. - For your own good!

- When we fought, I always charged first! - You always ran away first.

- Remember I saved you from the axe man? - I don't remember things as well as you!

Bastard, I'll beat you to death!

- Let's go! - Come on!

- Hey, over there. Hurry, follow me. - Come on!

Up there.

- Block him. - Right!

- Hey, where's Hua? - She isn't my girl, what's it to me?

Hey! If you get away, we'll meet at the usual place.

- I can't walk. - Come on.

Hey, over here.

Jump!

Don't be afraid, it's not that high. I'll jump first.

Jump down!

I don't think I can.

Jump, and I'll catch you. Jump!

If you don't jump, they'll catch you and turn you into a hooker.

Come on.

Hide yourself.

Don't run!

Run.

- I broke my legs. - No, they're still there. Hurry!

- After them! - Right!

Hey!

You go on!

I'm here.

Give me your hand!

Come on!

Come on! Jump with me.

It's easy! Jump!

Come on.

I'm still here.

Sister!

Can't you even jump?

Come on.

I assume you know how to slide down...

_ |'m__ - Excited, right? Come on!

After them!

Hide in there.

Hey, what now?

- Take your clothes off. - What for?

If I tell you to, do it!

What are you doing?!

A dead end. Let's split up and search for them.

Wanna run?

Who's got the nerve to hit a patrol bicycle?

Captain Chik.

So it's you...

Yes. Are you all right?

I'm fine.

But you're not.

Me?

I'm fine, too. I'll head on.

Captain Chik, you handcuffed me by accident.

I did that on purpose.

You deserted the force! You should be cuffed!

Let's delay this for now.

I'll turn myself in to the station later. Let me go.

Let you go?!

The police station is in chaos. All canceled their vacations to find--

They've been found.

Found what? What do you know? Tell me now!

I meant the missing young girls.

You sure know how to find girls, but nothing else!

Let's go back!

Let's not go in this direction.

I've cuffed hundreds of men with these handcuffs.

So when I tell them which way to go, they follow me.

I've had these handcuffs for three or four years already.

I can take them off whenever I want!

Let me borrow this!

Grab him!

What are you whistling at? Save your breath to chase him.

Uncuff me!

Out of the way!

Hey! What's going on?

Who's that?

- Nuts. - Move!

Keep out of the way!

Over there!

After him!

- Are you all right? - Never mind me! Get him!

Make way! Watch out!

Make way!

- It should be better now. - Watch out for the bicycle!

Watch out for the bicycle!

- Don't you know how to stop it? - The brake's not working!

Right! You owe me another one!

- You still dare to say-- - Hey! Watch out!

Give me your hand.

And Brother Fei?

Brother Fei? You're lucky you're not dead by hanging out with him. Let's go!

I save you each time, and you always turn on me.

Where can you find a friend like me?

Me turning on you?

- Do you want to fight? - If you want!

Save it till later. Let's take on this knockout fight first.

Enough?

- Fighting back? - Resisting?

Enough?

Resisting?

Let's go.

Hey, they've got guns.

Be calm.

Being calm will make you an easier target.

Kid, let's see how you can escape now.

We've got help.

Captain Chik!

Captain Chik! What a coincidence to bump into you here!

Grab him.

Stealing government property, insulting a superior.

Yeah, I even caused serious injuries to some people. Cuff me!

- That I'll do. Cuff him! - Cuff!

There's a serious accident on Nathan Road.

I'm responsible for that accident. I did it!

See if anyone is injured.

Hey, come with me!

Hua!

Don't blame your uncle for being a busybody.

Look at the awful state you're in. Go home!

Go home!

- Go on! - I'm leaving, Brother Lung.

Brother Fei? Brother Fei, I'm leaving.

Good bye.

Hey, fatso!

You look warmly familiar.

Warm? My face wasn't cooked or boiled, how could it be warm?

I've heard your voice before as well.

“My old man's surname is Yu...!” Have you heard this voice before?

Don't be so arrogant, young man.

Arrogance is not a crime.

Don't forget we have a score to settle.

- “His old man's surname is also Yu...!” - Fatso, thanks for the lifebuoy.

Don’t mention--

He's the one!

Grab him!

- Captain Chik! - Arrest that fat guy now!

That ex-cop has got our rifles.

I almost forgot you knew these cuffs well.

I won't be tricked twice.

Captain Chik! Release me!

Captain Chik, bring me back to the station!

Stupid cop, arrest me!

Stupid cop, I'm a sex maniac!

Are you crazy? Firing a gun here?

How dare you double-cross us!

- Who are you? - Where are the guns?

Come on!

Where are the guns?

Speak!

Where are the rifles?

Speak!

Lung!

Lung, hang on for a bit! I'll get you some help!

I'll go home to fetch some mattresses.

Don't bother!

- Hey, he hasn't enough strength. - What should we do?

Lung!

- Lung, are you okay? - I'm fine.

- But I verified something today. - What?

There is such a thing as gravity in our world.

Arrest all of them!

The Rear-Admiral was on his way here to help capture the pirates.

But now the pirates got him as well. I don't know what we can do now.

I suggest we get some policemen who can swim to go out

and blockade the water.

All sea traffic should be stopped.

How can that work? We are dependent on the shipping business.

If the ships don't set off for three months,

it’s uncertain if Lo Sam-Pao will be destroyed or not,

but we would be destroyed by you for sure.

Apart from blockading the water, do you have any other good ideas?

Don't forget that the pirates have captured the Rear-Admiral.

He is our first priority.

If the Rear-Admiral gets “watermelon and tofu” [harmed],

- I'd be sent home. - You mean “winter melon”...

Watermelon, winter melon, whatever!

You're not here today to teach Chinese phrases!

Come up with some good plans.

- Please take a seat, Mr. Chou. - Sure.

Carry on with the plans. I have to meet someone.

- Excuse me, everyone. - Not at all.

What the pirates want is money.

I can use the security fund to pay the ransom.

But I need a middleman.

I noticed your company's ships have never been robbed by them.

So I think you'll be the best candidate. Do you know what I mean?

That's straight talking, Mr. Murphy.

I'm always willing to work for the government.

But recently some of my men got arrested by your officers.

No problem.

I can tell my men to set them free right away.

I've always admired people who get knighted.

I can arrange something for you regarding this matter.

Thanks.

Cheers.

In order to sail my ships safely, I have some contact with the pirates.

But as a middleman, I'll have to go personally this time.

I have to request 100 rifles to give Lo Sam-Pao as a present.

If the rifles can save the admiral, I'll think about it.

Let me know after you have thought about it.

I've taken enough of your time. I'll be leaving now.

You'll hear from me promptly. See you.

- See you then. - If you please.

Who are you?

I'm Sergeant Ma Yu-Lung of the Water Police.

As far as you're concerned, the Water Police ceased to exist.

What are you doing here?

Regarding the ship being hijacked...

I thought you'd need the Water Police again.

I got in here expecting to hear some good news.

Instead, I heard a dirty and despicable deal.

You don't understand. I'm doing this to ensure the safety of the Rear-Admiral.

Why didn't you say it's all about the safety of your position?

Many people in H.K. were captured by pirates in the past.

Did the government pay a ransom to save them?

Lieutenant Shih went through hardship to raise the security fund.

It was a donation from H.K. people to build ships for fighting pirates.

You're using the fund as ransom money for selfish reasons. You disappoint them!

You're a security officer.

You won't arrest the one who does business with the pirates.

Instead, you're sending him off to plead with the pirates.

Is that how the Queen asks you to maintain law and order?

You know tigers are carnivores,

and you're still feeding them.

When Lo Sam-Pao gets those rifles,

do you know how much loss we'll suffer in regard to ships and men?

You only know how to collect antiques!

Know how many women and children are at the pier

waiting to be with their loved ones? Want them to wait till they turn to stone?

Don't you think I want to eliminate the pirates?

Do you think I was born with a surrendering instinct?

The Royal Navy is too far away and can't put out a fire.

How am I going to fight the pirates?

If we can't beat them with guns, we can still outsmart them.

With manpower and human wisdom,

we can defeat Lo Sam-Pao and rescue the Rear-Admiral.

Do you have a plan?

No.

No?

We all have to think about it.

If we give up so easily, then nothing matters anymore.

I'll put you in charge of this matter. You can think of a good plan.

Then I'll do it my way.

Go for it.

Be careful.

Thanks for the donations.

Look, Father. Look at the flag.

Project A proceeds under the order of the Sec. for Security.

Help me!

Don't you run away, beauty.

- Get rid of him. - Right.

Go!

You're safe now.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chou.

Do you know me?

Everybody in Hong Kong knows you, Mr. Chou.

Where are you going? I'll give you a lift.

I want to buy some fish ball flour.

Fishball flour, is that right?

- Teng. - Boss?

Go buy some bottles of fish ball flour for the lady.

Yes.

It's windy here.

Let's wait in the coach.

- The girl's quite pretty. - Keep your voice down.

I didn't realize you were such a gentleman...

and so attentive towards a girl.

That depends. If it's a pretty girl like you...

even the “King of Hell” should pretend to be a gentleman.

Hey, hurry!

What's wrong?

I saw the coach was shaking, I thought...

Why are you so imaginative? Never mind even if it flips over! Close the door!

Right.

- Why are you imagining such things? - He was talking about you.

- Hey, hold this. I've got to take a piss. - Right!

Be quick.

Looks like a building being demolished.

Hey, hurry.

What a relief!

Hurry.

Hey, Lung! Don't get carried away.

I'm not a cop anymore! I can do anything!

The pirates are our sworn enemies, and you're their accomplice. You bastard!

-Lung! - Don't stop me!

Hey!

Lung, how can I write my report if you kill him?

Yeah, if you beat him up like that, you may kill him.

So what? Tell them he died by accident while trying to escape.

Officer Hong, please do me some justice.

I will. If you describe your relationship and how you contact the pirates, fine!

Don't waste words on him! This guy's not worth a bullet! Turn away!

Hey!

Don't kill me! What do you want to know? I'll tell you!

What if you lie?

Relax. If something happens to you, I'll make sure he dies.

How do you contact the pirates? Speak up!

On the second and 16th of each month,

Lo Sam-Pads boat docks at the pier in Sai Wan.

A piece of cloth, three strings of firecrackers.

Those are the identification marks.

Hey, boatman!

Going to the firecrackers shop?

What do you want from there?

To light firecrackers.

How do you light them?

A loyal gut, three sticks of longevity incense.

Which string do you light first?

Three strings sound at once, peace to the world.

What's your name?

Are you a sailor or a fortune teller? I'm after a ride, not an interrogation.

Are you going or not?

The passwords correct.

Please come aboard.

- I want to bring these presents with me. - My men will take care of them.

- Let's go and wait for his news. - Set sail.

One gets drunk in there.

- What are you doing here? - What about yourself?

Don't mess this up. I'm going to Sam-Pao Island.

So am I.

You can't go, it's very dangerous.

So I'm not welcome.

Okay, I'll tell them to turn back to Hong Kong.

Hey! You win. You'd better hide yourself.

In there with the wine again? I better not.

Hurry.

We're almost there, Mr. Chou.

My mission is to save the hostages, also to capture the pirates if possible.

Great spirit! But don't count on me.

Keep out of my sight, and you're already helping.

Don't worry. Everything I do has a purpose.

You shove the enemies away, while I make a fortune along the way.

It's a deal.

- Tell the chief that Chou is here. - Over there.

Help with the goods.

If you please.

This way, Mr. Chou.

- Chou Wing-Ling? - Island Lord Lo?

I hadn't realized a thief would be addressed as an “Island Lord”

by an educated man.

Mr. Chou, nice to meet you.

- Likewise, Lord of Su Yang Island-- - I'm only third in command.

- My friends call me Sam. - Master Sam.

I've been around for 35 years. But the hard life makes me look old.

Brother Sam.

Brother, no wonder you're such a resourceful man.

Thanks to you for looking after our ships all these years.

I'm truly grateful.

Hijacking ships isn't the same as boarding them for a trip.

It's a life-risking business to me.

But you send me so many gifts every year. That's why I've hijacked fewer ships.

Quickly!

Over here.

These are the rifles you wanted, Brother Sam.

The wine is for your men.

I heard these rifles were hard to get.

It's my fault that Brother Li Cho-Kou got--

Don't be sorry.

Brother, forget about it!

Chief, this is great stuff.

Why would Brother Chou deliver them personally if they weren't great?

Actually, I was sent on a mission by the Hong Kong Government.

- What is a “H.K. Government”? - That means the chief of H.K.

Have they sent you hereto eliminate us?

Brother Sam, you've really got a sense of humor.

You hijacked a British ship the other day.

The Governor wanted me to be a middleman to ask you to release the hostages.

These rifles are a present to you.

The Governor seems to be a reasonable man.

I need the guns. The hostages will not be released.

Brother Sam, if you release the hostages, I'll have influence when talking with him.

- Don't talk to him, then. - Brother Sam.

Brother Chou. I'm having my 35th birthday banquet tonight.

You must stay for the occasion.

- Sure! Regarding that case-- - That case is closed.

- Brother Sam, but-- - Arrange a room for Brother Chou!

Mr. Chou! If you please!

Brother Chou!

The paths on the island are winding with lots of snakes, insects, and rats.

Don't wander around if unnecessary.

Thanks for your concern, Brother Sam.

- Hey! Carry the goods in. - Right!

Mr. Chou, if you please.

- Hey, where are these going? - To the storage room, they say.

Placing these together with precious items could be dangerous.

Just salted fish and dried vegetables. Precious items are in the treasury.

Salted fish could easily make the rifles rusty.

You're right.

Shall we bring this to the treasury? Why don't you lead the way?

Don't you know the way?

I was transferred here yesterday. I've not been there before.

You don't know who I am, then.

What should I call you, brother?

Am I becoming your relative? Why so many questions? To the storeroom!

Didn't you say the salted fish would make the guns rusty?

They can be polished later.

Go on!

- Drink all you can tonight. - No need to remind me!

Right here, let's climb that hill. Go!

Dinner time.

Right, wait here for my order. I'll go and help Lung.

- Hey, save me some wine. - Don't just drink, keep watch tonight.

Hey, password!

I don't have a password, but I have hand signals.

- What hand signals? - These.

Don't move!

Password.

A dummy borrows a trumpet from a lama. Lama doesn't understand dummy.

No words coming out of dummy's mouth. Lama gives dummy a pumpkin.

Dummy imitates a trumpet by farting. Lama has no clue and gives him a gourd.

Dummy looks confused at lama. Lama gets it and gives him a small frog.

Dummy gets mad and points at lama, tells him to go screw his mom.

- What was that? - An urgent password.

It's better I ask you than you asking me.

Password!

“In need of a beating.”

Go on.

When one gets lucky, even nonsense is correct.

- Password! - “In need of a beating.”

Correct.

Trick me? How can such a password exist?

- It's me! - Brother Lung, it's you!

- Where are the others? - Over there.

Hey, Brother Lung's here!

- Where's Chi? - He went to help you.

Was that him just there?

Big Mouth, come with me. The rest wait here.

No reason |'d be knocked unconscious. Could I have recited the wrong password?

- What's the password? - “The bright moon illuminates the king.”

Go over there.

- Password! - “The bright moon illuminates the king.”

That doesn't seem to be right.

Wrong again?

Chi! Hey, what's going on?

Get up, let's go.

Row, row, row.

Rowing with my strength. Risking my life to row.

Rowing to my grandmother's bridge.

Be smart, you two. Keep to the plan, don't blow it.

Mr. Chou, what are you doing here?

Nothing. I want to show you something.

Bring them out at the exact time.

Never mind!

Congratulations, Brother Sam.

Brother Chou, why are you so late? Have a drink!

May you conquer the four seas and march unhindered over seven continents.

Brother Chou. Come, sit down.

Brother Chou, I've been thinking...

if I keep those English people, they'll waste our food.

Why don't I give them to you as a favor from me?

Thanks, Brother Sam. Another toast to you.

Here.

Why not get the English women out to dance for us?

Guards!

No need. They've been locked up for long. I don't think they'd perform well.

How about this?

Everybody!

Whoever beats Brother Sam at arm wrestling will have this gold watch.

Right!

Brother Sam, are you up to it?

Sure.

Watch me.

- Who dares to come down? - Muscles, on you go!

- You okay, Brother Cho-Kou? - I'm fine.

The chief's having a celebration?

- Yes. - Li Cho-Kou.

Time to get out of here fast.

Lung's in trouble now.

It would be wrong of me to leave like this.

Hey, it's Cheuk Yat-Fei!

Cheuk Yat-Fei?

I'm here to tell you that Lung's inside. If we don't rescue him, he'll be dead.

- Why? - Li Cho-Kou has returned.

- What shall we do? - What do we do?

Either we sacrifice him, or we all sacrifice together.

Right, let's split up into two groups. Big Mouth, we'll rescue Lung.

Tai Po, you get the hostages on board. Then blow up all the pirates' ships.

- After, get out of here immediately. - What about you?

If we can't make it before blowing them up, then don't wait for us.

Hey, Tai Po, it will be hard to get out of here alive this time.

If I die, you must tell everyone why I sacrificed my life.

Big Mouth, I really envy your opportunity to die for our country.

No need. Why not switch places? You rescue Lung, I'll blow up the ships.

No, let's just stick to the plan. Take care.

Hey, do you know where the rifles are?

I do, come on.

Hey, Chi!

Hey, put this in your pocket.

- Why are you giving me a hammer? - Let's go.

Chief!

Brother Cho-Kou.

Cho-Kou!

- Cho-Kou. It's great that you're back. - Chief.

Chief, happy birthday!

Good.

Chief, I'm glad I can live to see you again.

Brother Chou!

Mr. Chou, the chief is calling for you.

- Who's Brother Chou? - Chou Wing-Ling.

Mr. Chou is here?

- You... - Blame me for not helping?

- No, I'm saying... - That I didn't help you, right?

- You're not... - One that you can trust with your life.

We're all on the same side.

- Chief, he-- - He what? Would Mr. Chou deceive you?

Brother Sam, let Cho-Kou yell at me. I don't blame him.

- Chief! - I should be ashamed to meet you here.

But even so, I had to deliver the guns to Brother Sam.

- How dare you... - Come here, right?

Brother Cho-Kou, punish me in whatever way you like.

- You! - Just say it!

I can die in front of Brother Sam with no regrets.

- You're not Chou! - Right, I'm not the one you used to know.

Chief, he really isn't Chou Wing-Ling!

Cho-Kou!

Brother Sam, Cho-Kou is right. Let's just say I'm dead already.

I'm a coward, I'm useless. I'm not fit to be Chou Wing-Ling.

Brother Chou.

Don't call me Brother Chou. I already told you I'm not Chou Wing-Ling.

Cho-Kou, look what you've done.

Brother Sam... I'll take my leave.

Brother Chou, stay here.

No, Brother Sam, just pretend I was never here.

- Chief! - You pretend--

Bad news!

- What's happening? - There are many cops outside.

We can't hold the fort.

Brothers, let's go out and reinforce!

Are you all right?

Why did you come in here?

If it wasn't for rescuing you, I'd be rich in H.K.

Why would the cops be here?

Li Cho-Kou! So you brought the cops here!

No wonder you got let out of jail.

Chief, don't listen to his nonsense!

Hold it!

Li Cho-Kou! Didn't think you'd bring Ma Yu-Lung here.

- Who's Ma Yu-Lung? - He's one of the Water Police of H.K.

Li Cho-Kou, don't be afraid. You've done well, get back here.

Chief.

Lo Sam-Pad, you better surrender. We’ve surrounded the entire island.

You can't scare me. H.K. can't possibly have that many cops!

Yeah! The entire island is full of cops. So many that they must stand in the water.

- Don't exaggerate! - I was afraid you wouldn't believe me.

Li Cho-Kou! I can't believe you treat me like this!

My words are useless now. Only death can prove my innocence.

Hey, Lung's safe now, but we're not. Think of a way to escape.

If that's even possible.

You can't escape! We'll blow up your ships.

Chief, they're really doing it!

Blow up the ships? Hey! Don't!

NOW!

- Get them! - Right!

Blow up all the entrances, cut off their reinforcements.

Brother Chou, no need for you to take action.

Let me!

You--

You're not Chou?

I never said I was Chou Wing-Ling.

Hey!

Ichop!

Go!

Hey! Why are you blowing everything up?

Run for a better tomorrow.

Come back!

You have anything against me?

If I don't blow up the entrances, more pirates arrive. And we won't survive.

You better help Lung to defeat Lo Sam-Pao.

Hey, are you really leaving?

Will you miss me? Or do you have a crush on me?

Hey!

Hey, are you all right?

You were right.

Lo Sam-Pao! There’s no hope left for you! Surrender now!

I will not surrender, even if you kill me!

- You want to blow me up? - Quick, throw it!

- Big Mouth, are you all right? - I'm fine!

- All entrances are blocked. - How do we get out?

Don't worry, I still have a grenade left.

Let's go!

The sail should face up. Fast around to the west by 18.

- Hey, how far is it from land? - 126 feet.

That close? It can't be...

- Why can't I see any land? - I meant close to the bottom of the sea.

Look at the sun. Left is south, right is north.

Hey, I thought the sun rose in the east.

That's right... Wrong direction, turn around.

What are you talking about?

So we've been going the wrong way for three days?

Bro, the sun came out just now.

Why argue? At least we know it's wrong now.

Test the wind, Big Mouth.
