Yan! That’s enough! Stop!

Stop fighting!

MAY 2002 SIX MONTHS BEFORE YAN’S DEATH

You know what’s screwed up?

The first masseuse came in,

and she looked just like Sam’s dog.

So, I asked for a replacement.

And she was even worse.

She looked just like Sam!

Just imagine.

I’m not demanding, but I just couldn’t swallow that.

And she had the nerve to ask if she’s pretty.

Of course I said no.

Then she clawed me. So, I called you.

That’s what’s screwed up.

And you wrecked the whole place. That’s gonna cost me a fortune!

That’s why if a masseuse is ugly, you’re screwed.

How dare you swear at your boss?

Ouch.

Wow, nurse, sure it doesn’t hurt at all.

Yan...

Don’t give me shit now. It’s just a small gig.

You bitch that I don’t give you any work these past few years.

But gangsters don’t need to work!

If you want work, why not be a cop, dummy?

Know why I only take you under my wing?

It’s because you’re focused.

Focus is important. Look at Sam.

He’s so focused, right?

Also, don’t let Sam know

about what happened today.

You knew how much he hates us fooling around after his wife died.

Just give me a break, will ya?

Are you done talking? Move it!

Hey, stop pushing me, Officer!

You shouldn’t act like that, especially if you’re a cop!

So, are you gonna tell on me?

Enough, you.

Hey, that’s how it is. Either you tell on me or I tell on you. So, are you gonna?

- Go to hell! - Hey! Cut it out!

How dare you beat up your boss?

OCTOBER 2003 TEN MONTHS AFTER YAN’S DEATH

File number IO143:

Regarding the deaths of Officer Chen Wing-yan

and Officer Lam Kwok-ting while on duty,

Internal Affairs has made the following report after an investigation:

On November 26, 2002,

Sr. Inspector Lau Kin-ming of IA

contacted undercover Officer Chen.

Acting on a tip provided by him,

and together with West Kowloon’s OCTB Unit,

they crushed Hon Sam’s drug cartel.

$60 million worth of cocaine was seized.

On November 27, 2002,

Inspector Lau met with Officer Chen again

on the rooftop of FSC Building on HK Island.

Intel on triad moles within the force was provided.

You can’t get away.

Just wait and see.

You’re gonna kill a cop?

We knew all about you and Sam.

You got no choice. Come back with me.

Drop your gun!

- What do you really want? - I just wanna get away.

The above-mentioned testimony was provided by Sr. Inspector Lau Kin-ming.

The independent investigation committee and the Deputy Commissioner

unanimously believed all of Sr. Inspector Lau’s testimony.

His shooting death of CIB Officer Lam Kwok-ting

has been ruled legal.

It has also been proven that Lam was a mole sent by Sam to infiltrate the Force.

Finally, it’s over.

You guys believe me, right?

Anyway, it’s all over.

Stay in Admin for now, okay?

Wait, wait.

Your parking space, got it.

It’s gonna take about three more weeks. Yes.

Sergeant Chan?

Just a sec.

Your uniform is ready. Drop by when you’re free.

Otherwise I can send it to you.

Sure, no problem.

Good. Okay.

Too bad Billy broke the CCTV,

or it wouldn’t have dragged so long!

You knew how our bosses dwell on accountability.

Lucky that we work together. So there were fewer red tapes.

You can come back to IA next month.

Exhausted?

Take a vacation with Mary if you are.

Hey.

Sure.

I’ll sign the papers tomorrow.

Sure.

Yes.

Everything can be separated.

Everything but the baby!

Hello, Sergeant Chan? Your uniform’s ready.

If you’re not free, I can send it.

I can do that too.

Okay, wait for me. Bye.

What have I done to offend you, Officer?

I feel like beating people up today.

Why make such a scene, Officer Yeung?

These Taiwanese are arms dealers.

But their clients didn’t show up.

They looked bored, so I kept them company.

- Nothing wrong with that. - Sure.

I work in the Security Wing.

I hate guys coming here all dressed up.

You got so many men here, so help me out.

You’re giving me a hard time.

That should make it easier.

You wanna set me up?

Is this better?

We’ve already written the report.

Half a kilo. 8 to 10 years minimum.

Get two kids to come back with me.

This is what they’ll say on their affidavits.

That they saw the Taiwanese take out some drugs.

So, being good samaritans, they beat them up.

I’ll ask PPRB to give them Good Citizen awards.

Sounds good?

Sounds good.

Take them in!

Be gentle.

Sir? Sir, you can’t go in!

Step aside! You, that side.

Don’t go too far, Yeung Kam-wing.

I’ve been helping you all these years.

You want me dead?

If I fall, you’ll go down with me.

We’re like brothers, wouldn’t you give me a...

ONE MONTH LATER

Delivery from OCTB?

I was transferred to IA yesterday, together with the coffee,

to keep you company.

Have a seat.

I’ve stopped drinking coffee.

I’ve been needing these to sleep lately.

If I drink coffee, I can’t sleep.

Life can be so unpredictable.

I used to hate IA the most.

And now I have to work here.

You don’t seem to like it here. Want me to... transfer you?

Are you kidding?

I was transferred here because of you.

The files are all here.

The first file —

This sarge, Chan Chun, killed himself in front of his ex-boss, Yeung Kam-wing.

IA is working on several big cases.

You know the Security Wing. They deal with politics.

Everything is classified there.

No matter what question you ask, they won’t answer.

But, we found an envelope on the sarge’s desk.

There’s a tape inside.

It’s a chat between him and Sam.

It turns out he was Sam’s mole too.

Besides Chun, several officers also committed suicide or vanished.

They’ve all been proved to be Sam’s moles.

SP Leung suspects that one of the moles wanted to clear his name

by killing the others

after Sam’s death.

So he ordered us to dig out this guy ASAP.

There’s a close call this morning, you know.

A package was delivered to SP Leung.

Wanna know what’s in it?

It’s the tapes of us supplying intel to Sam.

Luckily the sarge is one of us.

How many more of us are there?

Including you, there are five.

Ronald? Inspector Lau here.

I’ve left something at Admin.

Hey. What’s up?

I’ve dug up something about Chun, sir.

He was in the police bowling team.

- Hold on. - Inspector Lau, here’s what you need.

- Good. - I’m off to lunch now.

Thanks.

- Go on. - He used to go to SCAA for practice.

He rented his place from JJ Investment Co.

This company owns three units.

The owner is Shen, a Mainlander.

I’ll email you the info later.

No, send them to me now.

29B, DRAGON VIEW GARDEN BROADCAST DRIVE.

16C, 39 COLLEGE ROAD.

Inspector Lau?

I’m Yeung Kam-wing from the Security Wing.

I applied for a parking space.

- Let me check. - I’ve been waiting for a whole month.

I don’t wanna push you, but how much longer will it take?

Sorry, but I’ve been transferred back to IA.

I know, but Admin asked me to contact you.

Your application was approved last month.

Here. Your parking space is at B3A6.

We couldn’t reach you all week.

I’ve taken a month off.

IA was investigating me. You should know.

I do.

Well, are you investigating Admin today?

No. Just picking up a uniform.

That’s a sergeant’s uniform, Inspector.

It belonged to the sergeant who killed himself in front of you.

I’m taking it for investigation.

Wasn’t the case closed already?

Yeah, otherwise you’d still be off.

- Thanks. - You’re welcome.

B3A6.

Have we met before?

No.

Do you happen to know a man named Shen Ching?

No. And it’s none of your business. You should mind your own.

We found these photos

inside Chun’s locker.

The guy in the photo is Shen Ching.

He used to be Sam’s business partner.

That other guy is Yeung, head of Security Wing.

I think he is responsible for the Sarge’s death.

Yeung could be the mole we’re searching for.

SHEN CHING - HON SAM

Hello?

Okay. See you later.

It’s so nice of you.

You see him as soon as you’re back.

It’s nice of you too.

If it weren’t for you, he could never have been buried as a cop.

That’s my duty.

I don’t know why I helped him.

I only knew him five months or so.

I saw him 21 times.

He’s a good cop.

Anyone would’ve helped him.

Where are you going? I’ll take you.

Hey.

I’m back.

Then let’s begin.

You know, there are no triads in China.

What the country needs is wealth.

Triads are all life-and-death. Business is all about making money.

Today, we’re here to talk business.

But I’m a real triad.

In my mind, you’re the best businessman.

My boss said so too.

We’ve got 100 million with no place to spend.

We wanna invest in your business, Sam.

No questions asked.

It’s one country, two systems.

As long as money breeds money, we’ll let you run the show.

You still believe in that?

We believe you can’t ignore our mainland ties.

You think a Hong Kong triad can outlive a mainland businessman?

Without my boss’s connection, your business in China will last.

Mr. Sam, you’re a Buddhist, right?

Glory to Amitabha.

Is the feng shui here really that good?

The best in Hong Kong.

I want to buy a burial plot here.

For which member of your family?

For my wife.

She died half a year ago.

And also for myself.

Such a small thing, I’ll handle it.

- A small thing? - A small thing.

A small thing...

If it’s a small thing, then let my men do it.

We’ll see how they’ll handle it.

I won’t walk you out.

Goodbye.

Keung.

You’ll deal with his men.

Are you kidding, Boss?

I’m an idiot. I will mess it up.

What’s with the laughing?

Excuse me. Thank you.

Pretty loaded, huh?

Jealous?

Is it legit? Be careful.

Don’t play with me, Boss.

You should know how much cash I have.

Want a loan? Just say so. You don’t have to threaten me.

- What’s this? - Your daughter’s pocket money.

You’re a dad now. You should spend more time home.

Don’t work so hard.

Well, you sure look thinner lately.

None of your business. Thanks.

Who are these two guys?

All I know is they’re Mainlanders.

Anything else?

Shen was born in Taiyuan, Shanxi. An entrepreneur who was ex-military.

Dealt in antiques and transport. Started from scratch. Now he’s loaded.

He came to Hong Kong a year ago.

His brother Liang joined him recently

and involved in all the shady deals.

Sam’s been eyeing the Chinese market.

What does he want to talk to you about?

Cooperation.

- Liang. - Yan!

Sit down.

By yourself?

You too, Liang?

We own lots of nightclubs in China.

All protected by local big shots.

Powerful people!

Your goods can go through our network unobstructed.

And, we’re talking businesses in eleven cities.

Excuse me.

Well? How’s the talk so far?

Not bad.

See that ashtray in front of you?

Pick it up and smash it in his head.

Smash him.

Smash it in his head.

I’m screwed.

What happened?

Mary is pregnant.

- Congratulations, Boss. - But we’re not married yet.

- Get married then! - Whoa, is it really necessary?

- Or she can have an abortion. - We’re already engaged!

Got it.

- We can go now. - Okay, let’s go.

Long time no see, Wong.

No, just saw you last week in Guannan with a broad.

You don’t have to shout.

Security Wing folks are full of secrets.

Take a break.

- Hey! No pictures! - That’s enough!

Hey! What’s this? What are you guys doing here?

Sorry, SP Wong.

We were asked to take some mug shots. I don’t know what’s going on either.

I asked CIB to open a file

and take a picture of everyone.

Anything wrong with that?

Officers, are you done?

Looks like everybody’s here.

We were on the trail of Mr. Shen here,

but that led us to Sam by chance.

We even busted Sam’s men.

Triads are not my forte, so I let CIB handle it.

Sam, long time no see. How are you?

What brings you here?

Just accompanying some friends.

You Hong Kong police are so inefficient.

I’ll speed it up then.

He beat you up. Wanna press charges?

If not, then sign this form here.

I beat you up. Wanna press charges?

- Hey, are you out of your mind? - Hey, stay right here!

Keung, let’s go.

Wait.

Do you recognize me?

I recognize you, so be careful.

SP Wong.

You decide what to do with them.

No need. We know each other so well.

CIB colleagues, you can go now, thanks.

Thanks, Lau.

- It’s my duty. - It’s my duty.

That’s a wrap. Let’s go.

What game are you playing?

You think it’s a game?

- It’s life-and-death. - I’m glad you know that.

Hurry up and thank me.

Thank you? For what?

Look what you’re doing now.

Just eating.

You’re eating shark fin!

Shark fin! Think about it!

Sam took me to Thailand last time.

I had shark fin, and then I moved up.

You have shark fin now. You’ll move up.

- Phewy! - What do you mean?

Sam is stingy, but he treats you to shark fin. Just think about it!

Grab him.

Let go of him!

Just chill out!

Sam!

You’re gonna let them take Yan to the mainland?

Ask him why he smashed his head.

He smashed his head?

It’s no big deal. On the street, either you smash me, or I smash you.

Yan has smashed his head, right?

How about this?

Are we even now?

Liang.

Are you here to cause trouble?

Or are you here for business?

Scram.

Scram!

We are even now.

Let’s talk business.

I heard your arms business is huge.

If you can let me chip in...

then the blood they have spilled will not be in vain.

Sam...

Well?

You have a grudge against me?

No.

Have you ever met a guy who seems nice to you,

but might whack you at any moment?

I’ve met someone like that before.

So what do you think, Sam?

I’m wondering

why he didn’t whack you.

From now on, you look after the Mainlanders.

Take this.

Shen’s not what he seems.

Security Wing is on his trail.

Probably related to arms smuggling.

Sam stopped all his deals in China lately. They’re gonna work together soon.

That’s big shit.

What should I do?

You’re not at the shrink yet?

- Why should I see a shrink? - You beat people up.

I busted my ass persuading DOJ to send you to a shrink instead of jail.

It’s fine if you don’t wanna go. See you in jail. That’s it!

Hey, hey!

What’s the address?

I have an appointment with Dr. Lee.

This way.

Planning to spend the night here?

I can’t fall asleep in my office.

Unlike him.

He said... ever since he went undercover

He could only fall asleep here.

I still remember...

He told me that night...

That everything will be okay after tomorrow.

And then he died.

You’re a doctor.

Well.

You still keep his file?

He’s dead, but he’s still my patient.

- Let’s go. - Okay.

THREE HOURS LATER

We found an envelope on the sarge’s desk.

There’s a tape inside.

It’s a chat between him and Sam.

SP Leung suspects that

one of the moles wanted to clear his name

by killing the others after Sam’s death.

I think he is responsible for the sarge’s death.

Yeung could be the mole we’re searching for.

Do you understand what I said?

Sorry, excuse me.

I won’t sign if she doesn’t show up.

Got it?

Okay?

My wife is divorcing me.

Did I scare you? I’m sorry.

- You be careful. - Of what?

Your car’s next to mine. I am a bad driver.

If I scratch your car, look for me.

Don’t you worry. I’m a good driver.

The Taiwanese we arrested will be discharged next week.

Taiwan authorities have shown no interests.

The Mainland police will come here to extradite them.

Their boss is a good friend of mine.

So stick to the plan. Stay alert.

When those big shots arrive,

seafood meals and shopping for LV will be unavoidable.

Make sure they feel welcomed.

Maybe take them to China City?

Macau’s nightclubs are better!

You’re not afraid of paparazzi?

We can do the usual and cover their heads with bags.

- You bring the bags then. - That’s mean.

Sir?

Chun’s memorial is next week.

So we wanna hire some monks for a service.

- Make sure it’s decent. - Yes, sir.

Back to the Mainland police. Talk to the Macau guys tomorrow.

Let them plan the evenings.

I’ll talk to them about the security part.

Without planning, it’ll be a mess. Then we won’t have a good time.

Care to add anything to your testimony?

Not really.

Call us anytime if you have more information.

Thanks.

Sir.

- All done here? - All done.

Can I... touch all this?

- Yes. - Okay, thanks.

Is everything okay?

It’s like this when I came in.

They stole some cash and watches,

and the computer is gone.

Probably for the best. Might as well start from scratch.

But the computer’s useless to them.

I locked it with my password.

They can’t be that smart to know it’s my license plate number.

Your eyes are all red. You didn’t sleep?

Been working on several cases for a few days.

You should get some sleep.

Everything will be okay after tomorrow.

Gotta go. Call me if you need me.

Mr. Chan.

THE FIRST SESSION

Mr. Chan, I’m Dr. Lee Sum-yee.

I am obligated to tell you you’re referred to me to undergo treatment by DOJ.

You’re expected to complete the treatment after six months.

Afterwards, I’ll submit a report to the Court.

The court will decide if you should go to jail based on my evaluation.

Jail?

Isn’t the treatment all there is?

You need to comply with my orders during the treatment.

Otherwise, DOJ has the right to revoke the sentence

and detain you to await sentencing.

Got it.

Wong Chi-shing, you asshole!

You don’t need to call the cops, doc.

Just give me a call. You have my cell, right?

Or I’ll end up being a wanted criminal.

THE SECOND SESSION

Mr. Chan, I’m Dr. Lee Sum-yee.

I am obligated to tell you you’re referred to me to undergo treatment by DOJ.

You’re expected to complete the treatment after six months.

Afterwards, you’ll submit a report to the Court.

And they might put me in jail based on your report. Got it.

Please sign the agreement then.

Because we suspect you have serious violent tendencies,

we’ll be using hypnosis for treatment.

Hypnosis?

You signed the agreement.

Did it say hypnosis?

You have the right to refuse, but the court also has the right to revoke —

And lock me up, right?

Whatever.

Hypnotize me, then. Do your thing.

Then let’s begin.

Can you talk about yourself

or talk about your family?

Mr. Chan?

Mr. Chan.

Can you please cooperate?

I was only practicing. In case you can’t hypnotize me,

I can hypnotize myself for you.

You see, I have a particularly strong will.

It’s not easy to hypnotize me.

I haven’t even started yet.

I see.

Not yet.

You wanna know my story?

My last name wasn’t really Chan.

I was an illegitimate child.

My dad was a drug dealer.

I had to work since I was little.

I was making two hundred grand a month.

I brought a Porsche at 17.

I hired two drivers 'cause I didn’t have a driver’s license...

This shrink thing is useless.

Shrink or jail time. You choose.

She wants to hypnotize me.

If I spill the beans, then don’t blame me.

It’s not that easy to be hypnotized. Don’t concentrate, and she can’t.

It’s tough not to concentrate.

Dr. Lee is nice...

A nice person.

You wouldn’t understand.

That’s it.

THE THIRD SESSION

You are looking at the sky, and it has lots of clouds.

Your whole body is enveloped by warm water.

And then you begin to feel weightless.

You’re floating on water.

Slowly, you open your eyes.

The sky is so close to you.

And then...

What are you doing?

I’m hungry.

Gotta eat something.

Are you done?

- Yes, kind of. - Then let’s start over.

Can you see the sea?

You’re in the water, and the water is so warm.

It envelops your whole body.

And then you begin to feel weightless...

What are you up to now?

Nothing, really.

I worry I might oversleep during your hypnosis.

Better set my alarm.

It’s not that hard to remember!

THE FOURTH SESSION

One Mercedes to Zhanjiang. One Land Cruiser to Zhuhai.

Write it down if you can’t remember!

Of course the speedboats need new motors.

What if they stall in the middle of the sea?

Pink?

We are smuggling, not water-skiing!

My fax number is 21918125.

No fax machine? Why ask my fax number then?

Email?

What’s your email?

No email!

Sorry, but I’ve been really busy.

So are you done with your triad’s business?

Let’s talk about your family.

You said your dad had three wives.

And you have sixteen sisters.

Let’s talk about your twelfth sister then!

I haven’t...

Are you okay?

- Get away! - Why so impulsive?

I haven’t even picked it up yet.

Better?

The report for the DOJ

doesn’t matter to me.

I’m a doctor. I only want to cure you.

You can leave anytime you like.

But there’s one thing I’ve been trying to tell you.

If you keep on lying, then I won’t be able to help you.

THE... SESSION

Dr. Lee,

what did I do besides sleeping just now?

You don’t remember what you did?

I do, but I’m not sure, that’s all.

Forget it. Bye.

Dr. Lee?

I feel that you’re particularly nice to me.

- Do you have a crush... - Delusion.

Delusion?

No wonder.

Bye.

What’s with that smile of yours?

Did the doc say you’re gonna die tomorrow?

You wouldn’t understand.

Hey, do you think I am delusional?

Delusional?

Yes, you are.

It must be the hypnosis that makes me delusional.

It’s like how they —

Hey, watch your driving!

So many cars.

They’d find a woman to screw my mind and makes me all confused.

So I’ll spill my guts.

Nothing to do with the woman. It has to do with Sigmund Freud.

According to psychoanalysis,

hypnosis gets to your subconscious.

Once it reaches your subconscious, it can uncover your darker side.

Once it finds your darker side, then it can heal your traumas.

Together with symbolic memories...

- That’s so deep. Are you pulling my leg? - I can’t help it.

It’s written in Shen’s Reader’s Digest.

- Are you friends with Shen now? - Friends my ass!

It’s him who tries to cozy up on me.

Mr. Shen!

Mr. Shen.

Yan had been wrong in the past.

Let me apologize for him.

Kiddo, ever heard of the saying,

“Men are changed by events, not events by men”?

Friends are often made after a fight. Without the past, there’s no present.

- I’m sorry. - Say what now?

I said, very well said.

Where’s Sam?

He said the two of us can handle it.

Sam.

Reading?

Any recommendations?

How about you?

How To Become Rich In One Day? It’s a good read.

I’m not short of cash.

I helped you a lot over the years.

I’ll let you speak first, Chief Inspector.

You know everything I know already.

Let’s just cut the bull. Will you help me?

You help me, I help you. We help each other.

Fine.

What are you doing here?

Me? I’m here to...

He is gone.

Who’s that guy?

He’s a pimp.

Then why are you following him?

Actually, I’m a pimp too. I wanna know if he’s snatching my gals.

Actually, I’m short of cash lately.

If you wouldn’t mind, how about hiring me?

Knock it off, Doc.

Knock it off, pimp.

Hello, Internal Affairs.

Boss, I saw Yeung meeting with Sam today.

Yeung may be a mole. Run a check on him.

Sam’s deal with the Mainlanders should start in a few days.

Hello?

Hello!

Uncle Chan? Why are you here so late?

Refilling the water dispenser.

You’re good, Uncle Chan.

You know when we run out of water.

Cut the small talk. Just give me a hand.

Damon, help him out.

Let me give you a hand, Uncle Chan.

Hello?

Why didn’t you say anything earlier?

Yan just sent me a tape.

Yan sent you a tape?

Wait for me.

Hey! Hey! What’s the matter with you?

- I got something important to do. - Hold it!

What?

You’ve been back for two days.

But you haven’t seen anybody besides me.

Am I supposed to greet them one by one?

Hey!

Did I scare you?

I’m sorry.

I’m sorry.

I don’t know why you locked yourself up for two days.

But whatever the reason, don’t take everything on yourself.

Everything’ll be okay after tomorrow.

Lau?

The door is over there.

TO: PO BOX 27149 ATTN: CHEN WING YAN.

Let’s give it to OCTB.

Did you listen to it?

No.

Sam and Shen’s deal will take place in two days.

There’ll be lots of arms and cocaine. I’ll contact you before we took off.

So Sam doesn’t trust you completely.

Beware of Yeung Kam-wing.

I will.

Can you bust him?

You saw him and Sam together.

That doesn’t prove anything. How can I bust him?

Boss, I’m risking my life for you out there, so don’t give me that bullshit.

I’ll take care of Yeung.

You?

Don’t worry. Lau’s a great help.

Are you kidding me? You were screwed because of him.

It was an accident.

Didn’t you want us dead?

I just wanna be a good guy. I had no idea.

Give me another chance?

Sorry, but I’m a cop.

Well? Are you okay?

I’m fine.

I’m okay.

Do you know what you’re doing just now?

I know. What about it?

Can you take me back to the office?

Sure. Are you all right?

Come on. Let’s go.

Good morning, Dr. Lee.

Your hypnosis? It’s great.

I’m so relaxed.

I guess I won’t need to go to jail now?

Hypnotherapy depends on cooperation between you and me.

If you don’t tell the truth,

then no one can help you.

I’m already very cooperative.

It’s okay if you don’t talk about the triads.

But even on things like your favorite food and films,

you still have to lie.

I just don’t understand.

You’re not me. You wouldn’t understand.

God didn’t give us our brains to keep secrets.

I remember when I was a kid,

I stole a bar of chocolate in a supermarket.

It was family size-- a foot long.

The manager caught me red-handed at the register.

I was so scared, I just kept crying.

The manager finally let me go.

I went back there later with my mom, and I saw the same manager.

I could feel him staring at me.

He made me feel very uneasy.

My mom asked me what was wrong.

I said the manager had molested me.

My mom called the cops,

and they took the manager away.

He never told them about my theft,

but... I never saw him again.

I finally told this to a classmate

when I went to college.

After I had finished telling the story,

I felt like... I had been reborn.

Can I really start over again?

Do you trust me?

I do.

I do.

As long as you trust me.

When did you join the triads?

I didn’t want to join the triads.

I want to be a good guy.

But then...

I met Mary.

Your wife?

She’s Sam’s woman.

Why am I talking about this?

I’ve told you. You’ve got to trust me for hypnosis to work.

Only then can I solve your problems.

You can’t solve my problems.

My job is to betray folks around me.

I don’t know when I can stop.

To survive,

I have to betray those around me.

Actually, I’m a cop.

I’m a cop.

I don’t wanna be Sam’s mole.

Did I scare you?

I’m sorry.

Don’t worry. Everything’ll be okay after tomorrow.

Where were you? Today is D-Day.

- Today? - Yeah!

- I’ve been forgetting things. - Take out your phones!

Distribute them.

Yan.

You take the boat. Be careful now. Those are arms.

If anything goes wrong...

I know.

You come with me. Take me to the dockyard.

Tonight is the official start of Sam and Shen’s Golden Triangle deal.

They’re probably heavily armed. Have your bulletproof jackets ready.

Marine Police is standing by. Teams A and B, get ready at the slopes.

Wait for my...

Tonight’s operation is canceled.

Do you know what you are saying?

This is an order from the top.

An order from the top or from you?

I don’t need to explain to you.

I’ve been on Sam’s trail for years

so perhaps you can explain your ties with him?

That’s Security Wing’s top secret.

You can make an informal or formal inquiry to the Assistant Commissioner.

Call IA and check with them.

Just do what Yeung said.

No can do.

Wong, this case is not as simple as you think.

Sir, it’s very simple for me! My man is risking his life out there!

Everybody in OCTB stays!

You’re under disciplinary investigation.

What kind of disciplinary issues, sir?

You don’t follow orders. That’s a disciplinary issue.

Where are you going?

Back to my room, sir.

Let’s go.

- Laap. - Yes?

- Turn back. - Okay.

Keung, ask everyone to follow our car.

But Sam, Yan is finishing the deal.

Hello?

Mr. Lau? Your wife agrees to meet you this afternoon.

Is that okay with you?

Thank you. Thanks.

The Mainland Police will carry out the extradition today.

Make sure nothing goes wrong. Be careful.

Damon and Fai, you stay here at Control.

Set the channel to 34879.

- Tell Transportation we can go now. - Copy that.

- Here you go. - Thanks.

Lau, having fun in my office yet?

Everybody, get ready. Follow me.

What’s going on, Lau?

We’re bringing in the Head of Security Wing.

Those mainlanders are chatting inside.

They’ll be meeting our boss in 15 minutes.

Don’t make any mistakes.

Damon and Fai, get the documents ready.

Mr. Yeung Kam-wing.

You’re under suspicion for collusion with Hon Sam’s firm.

Please come with us to IA for questioning.

Lau, do you know what you’re doing?

I know.

I found a tape.

What tape? I don’t get it.

Listen and you will.

Where’s Mr. Hon?

He’s not here yet?

They’re empty!

Big Brother!

Sam, those arms cost over ten mil. Just give them back.

Don’t play games with those Mainlanders.

- What if they’re here to set me up? - Which bitch told you that?

My life told me so.

What if you’re wrong?

Then I’ll return it and cooperate with them.

But Yan’s gonna die either way, isn’t he?

We’re all risking our lives here.

I almost died twice.

Sam, no more games, please.

Sam!

One henchman is all I’ve got!

And this is how you treat me? What the hell are you talking about?

Tell me!

Tell me.

Where are my goods?

What did you do with them?

Go ask Sam yourself.

Why didn’t you... Why didn’t you shoot me in the head?

- I didn’t aim. - Stand up.

Stand up!

You guys are together?

Huh?

You guys are together.

Sorry, I’m a cop.

Go ahead and shoot.

Save me a bullet.

Are you serious? What kind of cop are you?

I got an “A” for writing reports in cadet school.

After I kill you both, I can write anything.

He’s not Sam’s man.

Then you’re not Shen either.

Perfect timing.

Come join us. It’s entertaining.

So you don’t wanna help me, Lau?

I do, but they’re watching me.

So you’re not worried about me.

You’re worried about yourself.

Whatever you say.

You’d better take care of it.

Give me three days. I’ll run a check and get back to you.

Lau.

Lau Kin-ming, this is your last chance.

Better take it.

Lau Kin-ming! You’re under arrest.

What are you doing? Lau’s over there!

What do you think you’re doing? I’m asking you!

Didn’t we agree to bust him? Why are you helping him?

Give this tape that Yeung found in your room a listen.

- Why did you make such a big mess? - That cop kept following me.

I had to kill him.

I’m in charge here now. Just call me when you make your deal.

It’s done when we killed the cop today. I’ll talk to you later.

Cuff him!

What are you doing?

Get back! Sit down!

Sit down. Get back! Get back!

- Sir. - Get back!

- Calm down! - Get back! What are you doing?

I told you to be careful.

Why should I be careful? Why should I be careful?

I’m a good guy. Why should I be careful?

Why?

I busted my balls.

I help you guys...

I help you guys kill all of Sam’s moles.

Why can’t you give me a chance? Why can’t you give me a chance?

I only wanna be a good guy.

I only wanna be a good guy!

Why won’t you give me a chance?

Why? Answer me!

Sorry, I’m a cop.

Sorry, I’m a cop.

I’m a cop too.

Are you two sure you don’t wanna go to the hospital?

People in my trade must not see the light.

Same here.

More blood, more credits. Will that cause you trouble?

It’s just a report.

You trade intel with Sam. Be careful.

You watch your back too. It’s Sam who set you up.

You won’t bump into me every time.

Will we see each other again?

- I’ll pass. - Speak Mandarin. Mandarin, please!

I’ll go to Beijing next week. Come with me.

I’ll quit after this.

And you?

Are you kidding me? I’m a snitch.

We don’t take vacations, Officer.

Okay.

See you. See you!

You haven’t told us. What’s your name?

Name?

I don’t know.

Just call me... “Shadow.”

Can you get any cornier?

It’s about time for me to go too.

You haven’t answered my question.

I asked if you remembered me

at the cadet school in 1991.

I couldn’t have been top of the class if you hadn’t left.

Lau Kin-ming is in critical condition at the hospital.

The bullet went through his jaw and lodged in his brain.

The doctor says even if he can survive, there will be serious brain damage.

Intel about himself and all the other moles is all over the walls in his room.

The whole IA is covered by CCTVs,

all connected to Yeung’s computer in Security Wing.

Hello?

Mary?

I don’t think he’s gonna be there.

DECEMBER 2002 TEN DAYS AFTER YAN’S DEATH

He’s dead. What’s the point?

There are things we’ve gotta do.

Hey, pal, you’re right.

Dr. Lee.

Everything will be okay after tomorrow.

I’ll arrest... Lau Kin-ming myself.

ONE MONTH LATER

You can have it back.

He made me a limper.

Is he Yan’s friend too?

They were classmates in cadet school.

TWELVE YEARS EARLIER

You’re in cadet school now, and you’ll follow the rules.

You break the rules, and you’ll be out like him.

Expelled!

Who wants to trade places with him?

Yeung, congrats on getting the award.

If he hadn’t been expelled, he would’ve gotten it, right?

Perhaps that’s fate.

It’s destiny. This is destiny.

Men are changed by events, not events by men.

But these guys...

They’ve changed certain things.

Well.

Let bygones be bygones.

Tomorrow is another day.

Right?

SEVEN MONTHS LATER

You’re here?

The baby can say “papa” now.

NOVEMBER 2002 SEVEN DAYS BEFORE YAN’S DEATH

He shot me, so I shot him back. I was just a punk at that time.

Stop giving me shit and learn from Yeung!

Learn what?

How to write a report.

Did you kill anyone? It’s big shit if you did.

So it’s small shit if I get killed?

Send me a report.

I’ll send you shit.

What did you say?

- Scram! - What do you mean, scram?

- Time for lunch. - I’ve hardly finished breakfast.

Then eat your lunch after breakfast. Or do you wanna eat joss sticks instead?

Excuse me.

- Excuse me! - Yeah?

Can I try this stereo?
