[bystanders chattering]

Hey, may I use the phone?

There you go.

Your boyfriend would love it.

- So teeny, gross. - Oh.

[shoppers laughing]

Hey, put me through to Inspector Lau, please.

Yeah, I'll hold, thank you.

Wah.

Hey, what a coincidence.

Calling the police?

You're crazy.

Hey, it's Wah, here.

Listen, those--

- What is this? - [intense music]

[Wah groaning]

[thug yelling]

You're a police informer!

[Wah groaning]

You try and run away?

[Wah yelling]

Don't even think about it!

[suspenseful music]

[Wah groaning]

What are you looking at?

[clerk yelping]

Come on, let's go!

- [police sirens wailing] - [foreboding music]

Stand back, don't push!

[faint police radio chattering]

Give us some air.

Inspector Lau.

The victim was Chan Kam-Wah, he was known as Wah.

He was stabbed seven times.

He was making a phone call here.

Three men suddenly attacked him.

We're taking a statement from the shopkeeper.

I told you, I couldn't see their faces.

Then how'd you know there were three of them?

It was chaos.

How could I tell?

What were you doing then?

Packing things.

Someone was being killed and you just packed up?

The killing has nothing to do with me packing up.

What's wrong with that?

I believe what he said.

He didn't see anything.

All this is evidence.

Call a police car, take it back.

- Sir. - Oh, come on!

What?

- I've got a living to make! - Let's go.

- [metal thudding] - Hey.

Can't you be gentle with the dead?

Yes, sir.

Hey, get Ko Chow.

[soulful saxophone music]

[patrons chattering]

Brother Chow!

Hey.

Excuse me, reservations only.

Wanna kiss your hand goodbye?

Well, do you?

I've got a friend over there.

[Chow exhaling]

- Chow. - Where's Hung?

Over there.

Chow, don't make any trouble.

That's Brother Tsui, watch out.

[Tsui laughing]

What a big mouth.

[Tsui laughing]

Go away.

Hmm.

Hung, I've decided to divorce my wife for you.

She just wants my money.

I don't care.

I just want to be with you.

Say yes.

[lively saxophone music]

[Chow sighing]

What do you mean, standing me up like that?

What's going on?

I waited for ages in the Black Swan.

You should have told me if you weren't coming.

I want you to leave.

Are you blind?

Can't you see I'm talking to my wife?

Hey, who's your wife?

If you're trying to piss me off,

don't use this kind of jerk.

Stop picking on him.

Does it bother you?

Idiot.

Go to your Lily.

You know how it goes.

I didn't do anything that night.

It's none of my business.

I've asked her to come and explain to you.

Not interested.

[somber piano music]

So I had other women.

Now you do the same to get revenge?

She licked me all over, that's life.

[slap smacks]

[Tsui] Ko Chow, wanna make trouble?

Happy?

Let's go.

You're asking for it.

I'll wait for you outside.

Look here,

I don't wanna see you tonight.

No problem.

[somber piano music]

[heels clacking]

Hey, Lily, not so fast.

Do you know a Mr. Cho?

When Hung comes out, explain to her.

Explain what?

Why did you call me to your house that night?

I don't know, if you need someone to explain,

find Mr. Cho.

What's that?

Hey, Lily, you can't go.

[officer] Wait, Ko Chow.

Hold it, Ko Chow.

Stay down.

Hey, Lily, stop!

He asked me to call you, that's all.

Stay right there, you bastard.

You're under arrest.

We have reason to believe...

- [Chow groaning] - Hey!

[agents yelling]

- [kick thudding] - [all groaning]

Ko Chow, come back!

[somber piano music]

[host groaning]

Ko Chow!

- [glass shattering] - [Cho groaning]

Fooling around with me!

Don't move!

Eat shit!

[glass smashing]

Assault isn't a big deal!

We're not arresting you for that.

We suspect you're involved in a murder case.

Come with us.

Let's go!

Hold him.

Keep up, yeah.

Hold him.

It's okay now.

It's okay, relax.

Hey, go easy, that's my hand.

Hurry up and get in!

Go!

[engine rumbling]

[soulful saxophone music]

[engine revving]

What have you brought me here for?

[officer] Shut up and keep moving!

Sir, we caught him in the bar.

He was assaulting someone.

Bring him in.

- [Chow] Hey! - [officer] Come on.

[door creaking]

Hmm.

What kind of a practical joke is this?

You never return my calls.

How am I supposed to contact you?

Come here.

[metal squealing]

Do you know him?

His name was Wah.

When did he die?

Be serious.

Do you know anything about him?

He was a genuine criminal.

Gambling in the sex trade.

He was in trouble, he was in serious debt.

He deserved to die.

You don't know him very well.

He's the same as you, an undercover cop.

He was a police officer.

He joined the force before you.

He was infiltrating a criminal syndicate.

They were planning to rob a jewelry factory.

He called me tonight.

Perhaps he had some information.

He couldn't get hold of me and then he was murdered.

I think the same gang did it.

Chow,

I want you to take up Wah's job.

[metal squealing]

Uncle Kwong, I've already resigned.

I haven't received it yet.

I don't wanna do it.

Look, only you know the people around Wah.

You are the only man I have.

Go find out what you can before they strike again.

After the last case with Shing, I've made myself clear,

I don't wanna be an undercover cop anymore.

It's that job, what's the problem?

I've betrayed my friend.

Shing was nothing but scum.

A heroin dealer, a loan shark,

you know how many deaths he's caused.

You're a cop, you should do your job like one!

Do my job, what do you mean?

I betrayed my friends!

Shing trusted me with his life.

He got stabbed for me.

You wouldn't understand the bond we had.

I really don't wanna be an undercover cop anymore.

Just let me go, please!

You haven't seen your grandmother for a long time.

[Chow sighing]

[door creaking]

[ominous music]

[heartbeat thumping]

[eerie music]

[Shing] Chow,

I would have never have thought you were a traitor.

I will never forgive you!

I will never forgive you!

Shing!

[Chow huffing]

[soulful saxophone music]

[man] The cops are here!

Run!

Move it!

Quick, quick!

[carts rattling]

[traffic rumbling]

[soulful saxophone music]

Skinny, go.

Okay.

[Skinny groaning]

Skinny,

be calm.

Yes, Fu.

[soulful saxophone music]

Fu, take care of them.

Don't fire unless you have to.

We have to keep it clean.

Don't worry.

- Fu. - You ready?

More than ready.

I'm just not used to this type of gun, that's all.

Hide it.

You look scary enough already.

[Big Song laughing]

Let's get to work.

- Yeah, all right. - All right.

Stand guard.

Yes, sir.

Turn around, back against the wall!

Turn around, I said!

Oh!

Hey!

Oh, oh, oh.

Oh!

What do you think you're doing?

No, wait.

anything with me!

See what you get?

[punch thudding]

Get back!

[Big Song groaning]

Stand up!

[manager whimpering]

Open the safe, now!

[manager moaning]

Playing dead.

- Think you can fool me? - [kicks thudding]

Stop!

You're gonna kill him!

Don't!

[Joe] Stop it!

[Big Song] Get off!

- [Joe] Cut it out! - What's happening?

Brother, they're fighting.

[thugs groaning]

Leave him!

Go to hell, you wanna die?

Have you two gone crazy?

Get out!

Get out now!

[manager whimpering]

Is the safe open?

This old guy refused to open it.

Do as I'll say and you'll be fine.

The number for the safe, tell me!

[manager whimpering]

You think you're tough?

[manager yelling]

What's the number?

Say it!

Left turn, 30.

Right turn, 17.

Hurry up and finish it!

Okay.

[suspenseful music]

[elevator dinging]

Robbery!

There's a robbery!

Robbery, somebody help me, there's a robbery!

[suspenseful music]

Robbery, robbery, officer!

Officer, there's a robbery, upstairs!

There's a robbery upstairs!

There's a few of them.

Brother Nam, they're in trouble up there.

What should we do?

[Fu huffing]

Come with me.

Quickly.

[suspenseful music]

Oh, shit.

[customer] Come over here.

There's a robbery.

Something's going on up there.

Two, six, nine, seven, seven, calling, come in.

Send backup to Chin Kong industrial building.

I'll go up first with Chan, over.

[whimpers] It's him.

Don't let him out of your sight!

Don't shoot!

- It's him! - Don't move!

[customer yelling]

[gunshot booming]

- [suspenseful music] - [tires squealing]

[suspenseful music]

How are they doing?

- Still up there. - [tires squealing]

Nam, Fu, I'll go first.

Skinny, you leave and I'll kill you!

Stay there!

[gunshots popping]

[siren wailing]

[fire crackling]

[man 1] Fire!

Put it out now, quick!

[man 2] Coming through, move it!

[man 1] Put it out!

[liquid spattering]

[siren wailing]

Sir, Inspector Chow has arrived.

[sirens wailing]

Sir.

What happened?

Six robbers,

disconnected the alarm in the lobby.

They went up and robbed the Wing Hang Jewelry Company.

They took one million,

two hundred thousand worth of jewelry.

They got two guns.

They acted fast.

Five people injured and one dead.

It's a gang of organized robbers.

Not ordinary gangsters.

No kidding.

Any clues?

We found some bullets and a lighter.

- Hmm. - Any witnesses?

Were there?

The robbers were all masked.

Somebody saw a guy in a brown overcoat.

He wore dark sunglasses.

I've already asked someone to get a sketch.

Hmm.

John,

what do you think?

Not much information yet,

but I'll break the case as soon as possible.

Relax, Grandpa, I'll solve the case.

Where are you from, son?

Lau,

I transferred John from headquarters.

You've met before.

I don't recognize him.

Grandpa Lau.

Inspector Lau.

But "Grandpa" suits you much better.

Lau,

I've asked John to set up a special team to break the case.

[sirens wailing]

There's been so many unsolved cases here.

I just want to help.

Chief Inspector, I need the information and clues

that Lau collected.

From now on, you two will work as a team, okay?

[John] Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Lau,

I know you're my right-hand man,

but you have to understand.

I'll wait for your report at the station, okay?

Yes, sir.

[door clanking]

Hmm?

These shoes are too tight.

[door thudding]

[Chow yawning]

- Honey. - Who is it?

- Oh, it's you. - It's you.

You pervert.

What are you doing?

Waiting for you.

Hm.

- Yummy. - Of course.

I look after myself.

Really, let me try again.

- Go to hell. - Darling.

Oh.

Ah!

Ow!

[Chow groaning]

That really hurt.

[lighter clicking]

Don't light it then.

All right, I'll light it.

You're such an idiot.

[Chow giggling]

[Chow yelling]

That hurt.

Aw, it really hurt.

Where did you go tonight?

On a date.

With Mr. Cho?

[Hung] Yes.

[Chow groaning]

I don't mind.

- Ah. - Hm.

Hey, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Where are you going?

- The toilet. - To pee?

Yes.

I'll go too.

You first.

Oh.

Hey, wait.

I don't feel like going now.

You think it's a joke?

- Oh, whatever. - Ah, what a couple.

You even pee together.

I've got to beat him up.

Who's that?

Who's going out with her tonight?

I am.

Keep it up.

You need beating up!

What a lucky guy I am.

You stupid idiot!

You can kiss this all you want.

Darling, you'll catch a cold.

Oh, why don't you just leave?

It's hell out there.

Where can I go?

To hell!

To hell?

You've gotta hear my last words first.

We're disturbing the neighbors.

Hey, we're disturbing the neighbors.

- Whatever.

[TV reporter] One person was killed

and five were injured.

The six robbers escaped.

Inspector Lau of that district had no comment to make.

Inspector Chan of the new special team

made the following comments.

We must crack this case as soon as possible.

This will continue to be our main objective.

[TV reporter] And that's the end of the news.

Let's take a bath together first, darling.

Darling!

- [Rose] Hey, I'm in here! - Aw.

It stinks.

What, I'm only having a pee.

- Still stinks. - [toilet flushing]

I'm fed up with you two.

You know what you need to do?

- What? - Stop getting in the way.

I have to sleep here with Hung tonight.

Have a threesome.

- Oh? - Who could ask for more?

You want it.

- I want it so much. - Ah, you're disgusting!

Darling, I'm coming!

[Chow laughing]

Get out or I'll shout rape!

- Stop it! - Come on,

- we're husband and wife! - Help!

Yeah! [Chow laughing]

[Hung moaning]

There's no point staying here.

[shower spraying]

Help!

What are you...

[Hung groaning]

[Chow whimpering]

What's that?

I'll just swallow it if you don't want it.

No!

You longed for it and finally you got it.

Who wants your damned ring?

Proposing marriage in the toilet?

Proposal accepted.

Here I come.

Oh!

[Hung screaming]

Be careful you don't drop me!

- I'll be gentle. - [pager beeping]

Who's that calling me now, shit.

Who's calling?

I'll return the call first.

Oh, don't go.

This call is very important.

Oh, ah.

[pager beeping]

[Hung] Who was it?

It's my grandma.

I have to go and see her.

If you leave now, don't come back.

Always rushing.

All right, I'm coming.

You [mutters indistinctly].

Ha, ha, la, la!

[car sputtering]

[wind howling]

[doorbell buzzing]

Coming.

Who is it?

Hey.

Grandma, it's me.

It's Doggy!

Uncle Kwong.

Doggy,

you haven't been for so long, I don't recognize you.

It's for you.

What is it?

Your favorite.

Toffees?

Right.

I've got no teeth.

He's been drinking since he got back.

Drinking and scolding you, Doggy.

Go and check on him.

Go on.

Be good.

Okay.

- Stop drinking. - Hey.

[Lau sighing]

Chow brought in a kid today to replace me.

They don't give a shit about me.

I'm older, I won't give in.

[Chow] That's enough.

Leave me alone!

I've been a cop for more than 30 years.

I've risked everything to get to this rank!

Not like them, just passing exams.

I received more awards than Chow.

Son,

you were good.

Pity you died so young.

I've got no one to help me now.

There must be a way to catch those bastards!

[Lau burping]

[Lau retching]

Good people don't live long,

while bad people do.

[Lau groaning]

[Chow] Don't be like that, come on, get up.

[Lau grunting]

Leave me alone.

- Uncle. - Get out!

Uncle.

- Uncle. - [door thudding]

Uncle Kwong!

[melancholic saxophone music]

[upbeat keyboard music]

[vocalist singing in Cantonese]

[soulful saxophone music]

[vocalist singing in Cantonese]

[soulful saxophone music]

[vocalist singing in Cantonese]

[soulful saxophone music]

[vocalist singing in Cantonese]

Hello.

Hey, take a seat.

Long time no see.

So then, do you need my help?

Big Song, if I didn't need your help, I wouldn't be here.

A loan shark is gonna have me killed

unless I pay back my debt to him.

If we make it this time, we'll be rich.

I guarantee you.

Come on, are you afraid?

Hell no.

I still have the guns.

You do?

I'm telling you it's foolproof.

All right, I'll figure it out.

Time is running out.

[upbeat music]

[upbeat saxophone music]

There he is.

Fu, this is Chow.

[camera snapping]

How much?

Magnum, 3,000, L-shape, 2,005, six bullets free.

What?

That's far too expensive.

That's without any commission.

You're kidding.

What about your commission?

10% for the deal.

This is daylight robbery.

You're using these to rob.

Hey, go away!

I know it's a bit expensive,

- but there's a shortage. - Thank you.

You know how the game's played.

Sometimes the money isn't everything.

You know the situation.

I'm just telling the truth.

I'll think about it, I'll be seeing you.

Waitress.

It's all right, leave it to me.

[traffic rumbling]

[officer] The one in the blue overcoat is Ko Chow.

You think he was involved in the Wing Hang case?

Yes.

This is it.

Come on!

- [chimes dinging] - [mourner crying]

[fire crackling]

[chimes dinging]

- [fire crackling] - [mourners crying]

Wah, take them with you.

[Lau groaning]

This is the guy that murdered Wah.

You know him?

This is the killer in the jewelry shop raid.

His face is covered, how can I tell?

Uncle Kwong, CID are on my tail.

Hm.

Yeah, they're John's men.

I don't care.

Get rid of them or I can't help you.

Record everything to do with the deal.

It'll be used as evidence in court.

Where are the guns?

In Mong Kok bowling center.

Hey.

It's risky giving guns to thieves.

Ko Chow,

if they don't buy the guns from you,

they'll get them from somewhere else.

If that happens, we won't know how many guns they have,

and we'd lose the trail.

Don't worry.

We'll see.

[mourner crying]

Mrs. Wah!

Mrs. Wah!

[Mrs. Wah crying]

[woman] Mrs. Wah!

[Mrs. Wah] Why?

You can't just leave the three of us like this!

What am I gonna do now?

[Mrs. Wah sobbing]

Two?

This way.

He's here.

[Hung giggling]

Hey.

How are you, bridegroom to be?

Been waiting long?

Just awhile.

What would you like?

- Two coffees, please. - Coffee.

Just two coffees.

I went with Hung to try on the wedding gowns.

Oh, she looked like a goddess.

You're so lucky.

Really?

Your suit's ready.

Go and try it on.

- You must. - All right.

Remember to be at the registry at 10 a.m.

Don't say you're busy.

[Rose] Don't start that again.

He's going to make it.

He can't remember anything.

I went to see an apartment with Rose.

I want to sell the old one.

Buy a bigger one.

What do you think, huh?

No problem.

Why are you so quiet?

Not feeling well?

Huh?

Hung,

I want to postpone it.

Why?

I'm busy.

You only have to sign your name.

I'll sign it after I finish the job.

What's more important?

Don't ask.

Signing it later won't make a difference.

No!

Why do we have to postpone?

Wait 'til I finish the job.

Wait?

I've been waiting for ages.

You didn't even come to see your suit.

It's been such a struggle to plan.

Have you put any effort into this wedding?

[Rose] Don't be angry.

You don't want to get married!

- Let's forget it. - [glass clanking]

Hung.

Look after her.

[Rose] Hung!

[bowling pins clattering]

[foreboding music]

[gun cranking]

[Chow wincing]

[footsteps approaching]

Hey.

How's it going?

[footsteps approaching]

Fu, have a pear.

Where's Big Song?

[pear crunching]

[tires squealing]

[engine revving]

[crickets chirping]

[coyote howling]

Why are we out here?

[crickets chirping]

Where's your chief?

[gun clicking]

I didn't bring them along.

I owe you six.

[ominous music]

Hey, hey, hey.

[gun clicking]

[ominous music]

Go on then, search me!

Touch me down there!

I know you're enjoying it, touch it!

Come on!

Don't set up deals if you're not gonna trust me!

[Fu] You're not afraid of dying?

So,

you've opened your mouth.

Finally, I thought you were dumb!

You're a cocky bastard, aren't you?

[Chow yelping]

[intense music]

[Chow yelling]

[Chow gasping]

[gun clicking]

Have you died before?

I'm half dead now.

But you won't kill me.

Killing me won't help you.

You'll cause more trouble for yourself.

You're right.

Bullets are expensive, why waste them on you?

[gunshots booming]

- [birds squawking] - [wing flapping]

[distant dog barking]

You owe me six bullets and five more guns.

I don't have that many, I only have three.

When will you have the others?

Day after tomorrow.

Be here at noon, day after tomorrow.

Watch yourself, son.

Screw you.

[entry bell ringing]

- Got a room? - Yes.

Follow me.

- Do you want a chick? - No.

[door thudding]

[Chow groaning]

[Chow groaning]

[somber music]

[water trickling]

[Fu] You're not afraid of dying?

[Chow] So,

you opened your mouth.

Finally, I thought you were dumb!

[Fu] You're a cocky bastard, aren't you?

[Chow yelping]

What have you two been doing, huh?

Yes, sir, we went to his company yesterday.

Ko Chow was off work.

We waited outside his house all night.

And his girl's place?

We've sent people there.

He didn't go there either.

I don't care how you do it, just find out what he's up to.

Send more men.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

We've got to show that old guy how good we are.

You two watch yourselves.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

[faint boat horns blowing]

Uncle Kwong,

they want three guns.

How many?

I just told you.

You're generous.

Deal's tomorrow, noon in the cemetery.

I can't get any guns until 10 tomorrow.

Too late.

Chow,

I need the time to apply for them.

Look, they'll be there tomorrow at 10 in the same locker.

Okay?

What can I say?

Uncle, have you given them my resignation?

What's your hurry?

I'm not kidding.

I'm quitting after this.

I'm not doing any more.

All right, I know.

I've gotta go.

Hmm.

[faint boat horn blowing]

Isn't this girl pretty?

Mmm.

A good wife has to be more than pretty.

University graduate, she doesn't smoke or drink,

and she cooks.

Hmm.

[Lau laughing]

That's it.

Chow!

Stop fooling around.

Yes, sir.

[gentle piano music]

Hung, just think about it.

Chow is sincere and nice.

Don't remind me of him.

Mr. Cho is married, he might not want a divorce.

Rose!

Go home.

I'll call you when we get to Canada.

[phone ringing]

[Rose] It must be Chow.

Hey, Chow.

No, it's Rose.

One moment.

It's Chow, come and talk to him.

Go on.

I have nothing to say.

Hey, Chow, Hung is leaving tomorrow with Mr. Cho.

What did you say?

They're taking a 2 p.m. flight to Canada.

Bullshit.

Get Hung on the phone!

Please don't be cross.

Come over here now.

Rose, hang up now!

Do you hear me?

Hung!

Hung!

Hung, I beg you, talk to him.

Ah.

What do you want?

Hurry up!

[Chow] You really want to go to Canada with that bastard?

Yes, so what?

What do you want me to do?

I don't want you to do anything.

[melancholic music]

Hung,

I will marry you.

[Hung crying]

You know I mean it.

Give me a chance, will you?

I'll come over now, all right?

Save it!

If you mean it, meet me tomorrow at the registry at 10.

Hung!

- Hung! - [dial tone buzzing]

[Chow sighing]

Chow will definitely come.

[lively up-tempo music]

[traffic buzzing]

[traffic whooshing]

Black Dragon, Black Dragon.

[tires squealing]

In front, stop the car, move it!

The guy is on Nathan Road, heading south.

[gentle beat music]

Turn into Nanking Street.

Turn left here.

[suspenseful music]

[Chow huffing]

[traffic rumbling]

[Chow groaning]

[engine buzzing]

[Chow sighing]

[engines revving]

[Chow huffing]

[tires squealing]

[suspenseful saxophone music]

[tires screeching]

You wanna try it again?

[tires squealing]

[motor rumbling]

Uncle Kwong, you tell me to get the guns,

then you get the CID to tail me!

Chow, try and lose them,

they're not my men.

If I'm caught, I'll be charged!

Relax,

I'll back you up.

What can you do?

You can only save me from jail.

If my identity's exposed, I'll be killed!

The robbers are getting guns from other sources.

You have to give them the guns at 12 noon,

or else we'll lose them, don't you understand?

This is the only way it's going to work.

I just, I can't handle it!

Chow,

I'll make the CID leave, okay?

Now go!

What shall I do now?

Just get the guns!

[Chow huffing]

John, I want your men to stop following Ko Chow.

Who do you think you're talking to?

Ko Chow is my undercover cop.

Is he now?

He's involved in illegal gambling

and loan-sharking activities.

How can he be your undercover?

Just stop following him.

No.

I believe he's trafficking firearms.

He's also linked to the Wing Hang jewelry robbery.

Huh.

Even if he is one of yours, there's no way I can help.

Ko Chow is helping me on a big case.

All right, I know we've got some personal issues.

Don't let it affect our work.

No.

It's strictly business.

I want this case solved.

I can't do you any favors, even if you are my senior.

I will not be intimidated!

Grandpa Lau,

experience doesn't come with age.

Son, stop tailing him!

Old man,

this is my office.

Only I can give the orders.

You, get out!

[subway train whooshing]

After him!

Get out of the way!

[Chow grunting]

[Chow huffing]

Chow, you lucky bastard.

Sooner or later, I'll get you!

Stop the train!

You can run but you can't hide!

Chow, you bastard, we'll get you!

[Chow huffing]

[Hung sniffling]

[distant phone ringing]

[engine rumbling]

[bowling pins clattering]

[foreboding music]

[Chow gasping]

Thanks.

[ominous music]

[bag clattering]

[Chow huffing]

[ominous music]

Stop!

I told you to stop!

[agent yelling]

Get him!

[suspenseful music]

Wait!

[horn honking]

Watch out!

[suspenseful music]

[Chow yelping]

[tire screeching]

Get in!

Wait!

- There! - Over there!

Do you wanna get caught?

Slow down!

Wait!

Wait!

[tires squealing]

How'd you know I'd be at the bowling center?

Where did you pick up the guns last time?

I'm very cautious.

I was followed by the cops.

Watch your back, you were lucky this time.

[engine rumbling]

Hey, are we going to the cemetery?

I'm taking you somewhere else.

I'm in a hurry.

Should we do it now?

The boss wants you.

[airplane whooshing]

Three guns.

200 bullets altogether.

- Hands off! - Ah.

That's nice.

Wait a minute, what are you doing?

I wanna sign my name on this gun.

You wanna get caught?

[Big Song laughing]

10 grand for one.

100 grand in total.

Thank you.

Chow,

join us.

I'm planning a big heist, I want you in.

Well, I'm flattered.

Fu speaks highly of you.

Thank you.

Big Song told me you want to make some money.

We think alike.

Why not work together?

What do you say?

Working together, we'll make even more money.

All right, let me introduce you.

This is Bill,

Skinny,

Joe.

We're good brothers.

I treat my men like they are my family.

If we can trust each other, nothing can go wrong.

Nam, let me think about it.

Come on, Chow, it's a good opportunity for you.

I have to go.

Yes.

Call Big Song when you've decided.

I'll keep in touch.

I'll show you out.

I'll be seeing you guys.

[wind howling]

Where are you going?

The airport.

[engine rumbling]

[airplanes whooshing]

Where is she?

She's over there.

Hung!

[lively saxophone music]

- Hung! - Stop!

Wait!

Hung!

You're suspected of arms possession.

If you go now, don't ever come back!

Stay where you are.

- Hung! - Hold it.

[melancholic piano music]

[airplane whooshing]

Move it.

Come on, get in there.

[Chow groaning]

[Chow moaning]

Get up!

[Chow groaning]

In there!

[wind howling]

[faucet creaking]

[water spraying]

[Chow whimpering]

[Chow groaning]

John, we found this stuff in his pocket.

[Chow whimpering]

Is this money from selling guns?

Any information?

I wanna call my lawyer.

Hey!

[Chow groaning]

[Lau] Chow!

- You bastard, I'll kill you! - Wait!

Inspector, stop it!

Get off me! Get off!

- Don't do it! - Get off!

- Get off me! - Don't!

Old man, I'm not scared of you!

[Chow yelling]

Stop!

Don't do it!

What are you two doing, fighting?

Sir, he tried to shoot me.

Put it away.

[Chow groaning]

You can't do this in a police station.

Uncuff him.

[Chow moaning]

- Hurry! - You two,

come into my office.

Take care of him for me.

Sir.

[Chow groaning]

Close the door.

I asked you to be a team, not to fight.

What's going on?

Sir, I just caught a suspect, Ko Chow.

He may be linked to the Wing Hang case and trafficking arms.

He was about to confess when Lau came in.

Lau,

don't you wanna solve the case?

He's our informer.

That doesn't mean he can sell firearms, does it?

Nonsense!

I set the whole thing up.

Are you crazy or just stupid?

Watch what you say!

Hey!

Why did you do it?

I want an explanation.

Sir,

I wanted to know more about the gang,

the organization,

and then arrest them all at the same time.

Guns are in their hands, we can catch them now.

Wait, sir.

We can only charge them with arms possession.

Intention is not a crime.

They have at least three or four men in their gang.

One of them could admit to possessing all the weapons

and the others will go free.

But next time they're bound to be more cautious.

They've got guns, so they must have some plan.

We should wait, sir.

Wait until they commit the crime,

then we can move in and arrest them.

I disagree.

If they have a shootout, it will be a public hazard.

Many can be saved by catching one thief.

Watch your mouth!

Lau,

don't let your emotions get in the way.

Sir,

I suggest that Ko Chow takes part in the robbery.

We'll crack it if we work together.

Wait,

I promised Ko Chow he could resign after.

If he disagrees, he'll get 8 to 10 years for arms possession.

Son, you can't charge him.

Ko Chow is no ordinary informer.

Ko Chow is an undercover officer.

Sir, check your files if you don't believe it.

[John] Then it's simple.

If he's a cop, send him in undercover.

I disagree!

It's crazy.

Sir,

you asked me to set up a special team to break the case.

This is the only way.

Under the current legal system,

we need to catch them red-handed.

Then we can bring them to justice.

I agree to wait for the big catch.

Lau,

tell Ko Chow to take part in the robbery.

Sir,

I'll resign if you insist.

Lau,

don't you want this solved?

Remember Wah and the others who died because of this.

KING NGAI JEWELRY

TAI WAH JEWELRY

These four jewelry shops are the robbers' targets.

According to Ko Chow, they have one thing in common,

jewelry of great value.

Poor security, making it easy to escape.

John, what do you think?

I think we should send guards to all four shops.

Sir, I think we should call the Special Duties Unit.

I don't think so.

We can surely handle it ourselves.

They're no ordinary gang.

If there's a shootout and bystanders are injured,

who's responsible?

All right.

Call the SDU.

Yes, sir.

["Joy To The World" playing]

[somber saxophone music]

Ooh, they look good.

[Chow whistling]

[Chow groaning]

[models giggling]

Think it's funny?

Such a loser.

Chow, you have a letter from America.

[Chow spitting]

Who cares.

Fu, I say something, you mad at me?

Ah, come on.

What's wrong with you?

Cheer up.

- Yeah, come on. - You're no fun.

Don't be so boring.

Hooray, yay!

All right.

I want to drink with you too.

- This wine is expensive. - Oh.

Don't be so stingy.

Stop blabbing, come on.

- Drink up. - You're blaming us?

Keep out of it.

You can't tell us

- what to do. - Hey, wait.

Excuse me, can you take a photo of us?

Sure thing.

Come on, get together.

That's it.

Wait.

Hey, hey.

- Oh. - Smile.

[model giggling]

[camera snapping]

SECOND FLOOR ROOM TO LET

FOUR SEAS VILLA

[Fu knocking]

Fu.

Chow.

Close the door.

[toilet flushing]

Where's Brother Nam?

In there.

Hey.

Hey, get up!

You think this room's yours?

- Brother Nam. - All right.

- Chief! - Chief.

I called you here tonight because I want to tell you,

we're going to act very soon.

Hey!

We're gonna be rich!

Cheer up, what is it?

Come on.

Chief, are the guns good this time?

Hmm.

Take it easy.

We'll make it this time.

Those cops are good for nothings.

Oh!

Joe!

For the sake of secrecy,

no one can leave...

to prevent contact from the outside.

If you have a problem,

say so now.

Everybody,

give your pagers to me.

Hurry up.

In the meantime, I want you to study the routes.

Which jewelry shop is gonna be our target?

I will tell you when we set off.

[horn honking]

[door clattering]

Paul, ask everyone to get ready.

Yes, sir.

The gang can strike anytime.

Sir.

Everybody, get ready.

Anything suspicious?

No.

Sir.

Inspector Chan just arrived.

He ordered six groups to guard the shops in shifts.

He fears we lack manpower.

Who is Chan?

288 men aren't enough?

They're just robbers, not troops.

- Call him here to see me. - Yes, sir.

[Fu groaning]

TO INSPECTOR LAU, TSIM SHA TSUI POLICE STATION

[Fu knocking]

[toilet flushing]

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Stomach ache.

Who's this?

My girlfriend.

Not bad, is she?

What are you planning to do with the money?

And you?

Spend freely then do the next heist.

You'll get caught in the end.

Touch wood, I'll never get caught.

You could start a small business.

What business could I start?

I can't even read.

It's my destiny.

My father was a thief.

Same as my grandpa.

I hope my son will not be a thief.

Your father's still in jail?

He died over 10 years ago.

He was crazy.

He tried to rob the police quarters

but got shot dead by a cop.

So you hate cops?

Not really.

It's fate.

We earn our living with our lives.

[upbeat music]

They're making a lot of noise.

[upbeat music]

They're having a party.

["Joy To The World" playing]

Where's your son?

He became someone else's son.

It's all my fault.

Where are your family?

They're all dead.

Cheer up.

At least you have a beautiful girlfriend.

To be honest,

if I were you, I'd find a decent job.

Too bad I wasn't smart enough.

I'm being smarter than you.

I'm making money, that's why she left me for another guy.

[Fu laughing]

What a coincidence.

Let's drink to it.

To celebrating her leaving me?

To celebrate us in the same business.

[soulful saxophone music]

You know, my wife still sends me cards on special occasions.

How about yours?

Of course.

Cut it out.

You're just copying me.

[soulful saxophone music]

"U-S-A."

It's from the U.S.

You just picked this up somewhere, this isn't yours.

You got to quit stealing and learn how to read.

It was addressed to Mr. Ko.

Mr. Ko is me.

I'm Mr. Ko.

First letter?

How did you know?

It hasn't even been opened yet, you're scared.

You have to read it anyway.

The sooner the better.

[somber saxophone music]

If you've still got a chance with her, don't let her go.

Go find her.

[Hung] Chow,

I didn't go to Canada.

I changed plans in San Francisco and went to Hawaii.

I hope you can come and bring me back to Hong Kong.

The address is on the back.

Miss you,

Hung.

[somber saxophone music]

[eerie music]

[Shing] Chow,

I would never have thought you were a traitor.

I will never forgive you!

[gunshot booming]

I will never forgive you!

[heartbeat thumping]

[eerie music]

[Chow gasping]

Chow, are you scared?

Is this your first time?

You'll be all right.

Get some sleep.

[Chow huffing]

Why did you send the SDU away?

Deploying lots of cops just to wait around

is a waste of taxpayers' money.

- Call the Chief Inspector. - Okay.

- Be quick! - Yes, sir.

He approved it himself.

- Chief. - Chief.

- Chief. - Chief.

Take a look at these.

- Whoa! - Whoa!

- Hey, nice. - .357 and

- .45. - Hey, I want that one.

- These are half decent. - Try it.

Brothers, we will strike soon.

[gun clicking]

Let's check our guns.

Ah, this is perfect!

So, satisfied, Joe?

Never felt better!

Ah-ha.

When it's done, we'll take cover at the house.

We will leave Hong Kong by boat at first light tomorrow.

What's the target this time?

We're familiar with the routes now.

So we're going to hit the Tai Kong Jewelry Shop here.

[men] Good!

Oh, shit.

Damn, we've still got nothing.

I know, how long are we gonna have to wait this time?

[ominous music]

I'll pick you up in Mody Road if anything goes wrong.

Okay.

[lively up-tempo music]

[John yawning]

[guard grunting]

Oh.

[ominous music]

Don't move.

Robbery.

Be cool, this is a robbery.

Don't move, do as you're told.

Put everything in the bag, quick.

[clerk gasping]

Be quick

or I'll kill you!

Fill it up, quickly!

[lively up-tempo music]

Commander, calling Group Two.

What's up with the taxi outside the shop?

Do you copy, Group Two?

Group Two, can you hear me?

Group Two, respond.

Maybe waiting for a customer.

[ominous music]

[alarm ringing]

Who pressed the alarm?

You bitch!

- [gunshots booming] - [clerk screaming]

[bystanders yelling]

Get down, everyone! Keep away!

- [gunshots booming] - [clerk screaming]

Robbery at Tai Kong's, all units, go!

- [gunshots booming] - [clerk screaming]

[Chow groaning]

Miss!

[sirens wailing]

Fu!

Come on!

Take it easy.

Hurry up!

[police sirens wailing]

Come on, get in the car!

Big Song, get the things, come on!

Leave it, Chow, go!

[sirens wailing]

Come on, Skinny!

- Out the way! - Move it, move it!

[gunshots booming]

[Bill groaning]

[gunshots booming]

Are you all right, Bill?

[engine revving]

[sirens wailing]

[tires squealing]

Joe, stop the car!

[cars crashing]

["Joy To The World" playing]

Joe, stop the car and I'll shoot it out with them!

Shut up!

Police!

["Joy To The World" playing]

[sirens wailing]

[Chow yelling]

Joe, come on!

- Get out, quick! - Open the door!

[gunshots booming]

Bill!

[gunshots booming]

Go, Fu, go!

[gunshots popping]

Big Song, get the car!

[bystanders screaming]

[glass shattering]

[gun clicking]

Fu, we should surrender!

I don't quit.

[Joe yelping]

- Joe! - Joe!

Bastards!

[gunshots popping]

- Come on! - [gunshots booming]

Joe.

Oh, Joe.

[sirens wailing]

Give me the gun!

[gunshots booming]

[officer groaning]

[gunshots booming]

[Fu groaning]

[Chow] Fu!

[Chow groaning]

[gunshots booming]

[agent groaning]

Chow!

[soulful saxophone music]

Get the car here now!

[gunshots booming]

- Are you all right? - I'm all right.

[gun clicking]

I have to kill them.

Don't go, Fu, it's over.

Take it easy.

I'm here.

I'm depending on you.

Gotta find my wife in Hawaii.

I'll definitely come with you.

[officer] Come out with your hands up!

[electrical crackling]

Got it! Skinny, sit tight!

[gunshots booming]

Hurry up!

Get in!

[gunshots booming]

Move it!

[tires screeching]

[gunshots popping]

[electrical fizzling]

Where are the robbers?

They're gone.

How could you let them go?

Kwong is dead.

Any leads?

Inspector Lau has found something.

[John] Hyun.

Any information?

Three dead, five injured.

Happy now?

Work together.

There's no other way we can get them.

I found Ko Chow's wallet.

In the getaway car.

[crickets chirping]

[tires screeching]

Get out.

Where are Bill and Joe?

Dead.

Skinny, hide the car.

[Chow groaning]

No one else could have known about the raid,

yet we were ambushed by the cops.

There must be a traitor here.

It's you!

What, me?

If it was me,

you'd already be caught!

I didn't have to risk my life.

Nam, you don't know him like we do.

Shut up!

He's the new guy.

Who else can it be?

He wouldn't do that.

Yes, he's loyal to us.

- [slap smacks] - Go to hell!

I have experience.

I can't be wrong.

If I'm wrong,

- then you're unlucky. - Hold it!

Let's settle the money.

Fu, you're crazy, don't point the gun at the chief.

Put it down!

Now!

Don't pull any tricks or you're dead.

Leave it, Fu.

If I die, you get a bigger cut.

[Chow groaning]

No.

You saved my life.

I owe you.

If anyone touches you, I'll kill them.

Nam, do you want me to kill him?

[ominous music intensifying]

[door thudding]

- Don't move! - Skinny, what do you want?

[police sirens wailing]

Nam!

There are lots of police cars outside!

- [police sirens wailing] - [suspenseful music]

We'll settle this later.

Big Song, pack up and go!

Chow, go!

Ah!

Get back!

- [police sirens wailing] - [suspenseful music]

Too many cops.

Get down!

[Chow groaning]

Chow.

Chow.

Are you all right?

Hang on.

[crickets chirping]

Listen!

You're surrounded!

Drop your weapons!

Come out and surrender!

Surrender?

Never!

[glass shattering]

[gunshots booming]

Fire!

[rapid gunshots popping]

Hold fire!

[rapid gunshots popping]

Listen up!

If you don't surrender, we'll come in.

Ko Chow's inside.

We have to take them alive.

Do you know they're heavily armed?

They can't escape.

They'll have to surrender.

I'm in charge here.

You have no authority.

If something happens to Ko Chow, I won't ever forgive you.

Come on, let's find the Chief Inspector.

[Chow and Fu groaning]

Big Song.

[Big Song groaning]

I'll take them all!

[rapid gunshots popping]

[Big Song groaning]

Big Song.

Big Song!

Big Song!

Don't shoot!

I surrender!

Don't shoot!

Skinny, get down!

[Skinny] Let me go!

[Nam groaning]

Nam!

Don't make me!

I don't wanna die!

Put your gun down.

- Brother Fu? - Relax!

Put your gun down!

- You bastard! - [gunshot booming]

Skinny!

You killed Skinny, you bastard!

You're all the same.

You never respected me.

After everything we've done for you!

We risked our lives for you!

You're our chief!

You never treated me like a chief.

[rapid gunshots popping]

[glass shattering]

[Nam yelling]

[Fu huffing]

Chow!

Chow!

[Chow huffing]

Chow?

[metal cranking]

[Fu grunting]

Chow,

let's go.

Hang on!

I can't.

Just leave me here.

No!

I can't leave you here.

The cops will get you.

I'm a cop too.

What did you say?

I'm a cop.

Say that again!

[Chow] You can kill me if you like.

Just do it quickly.

Or you would have time to escape.

Tell me now you're not a cop.

I betrayed you.

Cops have to catch robbers.

I owe you.

Kill me.

[rapid gunshots popping]

[glass shattering]

[footsteps approaching]

[glass shattering]

[sirens wailing]

[door thuds]

- Go, go, go, go! - Move, move, move!

Go, go, go!

On the floor!

[Fu groaning]

Chow?

We still have to go to Hawaii.

Chow?

[soulful saxophone music]

Get up!

- Come on, move! - Move it!

Move!

Take him in!

[soulful saxophone music]

[Fu groaning]

Don't move, stay there!

[soulful saxophone music]

[Lau sighing]

Chief Inspector, I didn't disappoint you.

Our team was only set up two months ago

and we've already cracked a big case.

I'll write a report.

[Lau] John!

[brick thudding]

[John whimpering]

You've cracked the case,

now wait for your comeuppance!
