Original subtitles

Why didn't you report the cocaine robbery?

He did it as a favor...

The goods are here.

What's Ching Yun up to?

Brother Yun is helping an elder

to negotiate with Nine-Lame-Fingers tomorrow.

I want Nine-Lame-Fingers; he's a major player

with overseas criminal groups.

I've wanted to nab him for a long time.

You just called him Brother Yun.

Qiu, can I still trust you?

Yes.

Lighter.

What's up? You scared?

Of course! I screwed up on the last job.

I forgot to fill up the getaway car, and it went dead in the middle

but I got you a stolen one right away?!

True, but the gang was waiting on the street with ski masks on.

Brother Yun saw me screw up; I'm done.

Brother Yun!

Don't worry, you were known for your loyalty.

Just keep quiet in front of Brother Yun...

...don't bring it up if he doesn't mention.

Okay?

Help me out if anything bad happens.

Okay.

Brother Yun!

Jeejah!

You can't be serious?

Gangsters today have no dignity...

selling out for money.

Completely without honor.

You asshole!

In this city

we don't know what's real.

Except bullets and painkillers...

you can't trust anything.

Look at our city.

Here you can get away with arson or murder

if you have money?

Are you a cop?

I'm always hungry.

Call me an undercover pig.

I hate the cold, I must be a cold case.

I was a cop once, I worked undercover.

I was young,

I joined the force with a sense of justice.

When they assigned me to go undercover...

it felt like I won the lottery.

Over time, I was struggling between juridical duties and ethical responsibilities.

I began to doubt if the arrested ones were guilty.

Sometimes, I sympathized with the criminals.

Eventually I switched sides.

I could then do what I thought was right.

I was free...

but I felt like I lost my soul.

With each gain...

there's always a cost.

Brother Yun

Is it better to be a cop or a thief?

If you have a choice...

be a rich heir!

You're so stupid.

What?

Girls are here!

Morlaw!

Stop!

You stole my goods!

So what?

Go!

Pull over.

That Nine-Lame-Fingers fatso...

we met once when I was young.

He bullied me into eating a porcelain spoon.

I crushed it and swallowed it without flinching.

Then what?

He wanted me to eat a bowl next!

I was only joking.

Turn around.

Abort! Change course!

It's a new model; I need more time.

- Hello, Mr. Shen... - Sir!

A new project?

I'll take two shares.

How much?

Then I'll take one.

Thanks, Mr. Shen

- What case is this? - Chief Chu's matter.

Chen Yun

You're still in business?

You're so fat yet you're still alive.

Why would I quit?

Brothers shouldn't argue.

Screw you!

You're a bunch of thugs.

I switched teams long ago!

Look at how your men are dressed?

Look at mine.

They're all in tuxedos!

Let's talk business.

Two plots of land and a woman were taken from your side?

Tough Luck! I'm here to negotiate.

All you have is luck.

Return the two plots, keep the woman.

You think?

You want to fight? Your call.

We're both just middlemen.

I'm enjoying my luxe life,

why would I mess it up with you thugs?

One plot, you have my word.

Brothers shouldn't fight.

However...

next time stay away if your hear my name.

That's it.

Fatso!

SHIT!

Come out!

Come out!

You bastard, get over here!

His shoulder was damn exposed.

But you still shot me?

Go get some practice!

I should just kill you!

Don't embarrass me.

Finish it.

I can't get ahold of Qiu.

Hey!

Working on Christmas Eve...

So? No news from your underling?

Last time he disappeared for 6 months...

then showed up with a bottle of wine from Kashmir.

You have been defending him the whole time while working for me.

Jim, I've warned you many times.

Yu Qiu is unruly and arrogant;

you don't know him.

Sooner or later...

he'll destroy you.

But he solved the most cases.

He has never betrayed my trust

like I have never betrayed yours.

If you don't rein him in, I will...

Hello, sweetie...

Yes, how are you, both of you?

Yes...do you like your new car?

Your salad, Sir.

Boss - you'll find this interesting.

I just received a tip.

The so-called head of Solo Field...

is someone named the "Boss".

No one has ever seen him.

When I did a search on him...

the police database suspended my clearance.

Isn't that a good tip?

They're all saying...

you're responsible for Ching Yun's death.

I also discovered

someone hacked into my hard drive

looking for information about you.

I miss the taste of crimes.

Infiltrate the Chun Gang.

They're on a job that might be linked to the Boss.

- That's all? - Yes, that's it.

What did I tell you, idiot?

I said, give me close-ups!

Skip the close-ups again, I'll burn you!

Use this video to extort the rest.

Chun is short-handed, I just arrested two of his men.

He has to hire you.

What?

Not interested; I'm fully booked.

Fuck you!

Go on!

Brother Chun!

Today's target is a little girl, location,

"Take One"

SalesMan, Fei-fu, Qiu and I get the girl

Dave and the others standby in the alley.

Park the getaway car on Harvest Road; that's it!

You're in because we're short-handed.

If anything happens, you die.

Screw you!

They have so many people...

Hello, this is CY Insurance calling.

Buy CY life insurance now to get instant coverage

and a cash rebate...

I bought several policies from you already.

I'm getting killed now! You'll go bankrupt!

You'll go bankrupt!

Screw you!

Hey! you dropped something.

Qiu, what's your location?

Central District; rogue cops were involved.

Go to the safe house and wait for me.

Okay.

What would you expect me say to the boss, team head?

If you chose to be a bad cop,

I think you better be a sophisticated one.

Keep a close eye on Jim. Seems he is figuring it out.

If you can't make him be part of us...

Well! Just send him a goodbye.

Come on.

Don't be afraid, I'm a policeman.

I pretended to be a bad guy to take them down.

What're you doing here?

Come and drink some water.

Come on.

Drink up...

My name is Yu Qiu, what's yours?

40122...

98772...

WL Trading, how may I help you?

Hello?

Hello?

I've got the girl.

You've worked hard! Sit down and eat!

She only cooks for me; it's safe to eat.

I look after her family; poison-free guaranteed.

The world is a dangerous place.

I'll pay you double what Chun was getting.

You did well.

Where's the girl?

Thanks, Boss.

However...

You're arresting me?

You're not the "Boss".

Someone of his caliber wouldn't outsource a job to Chun.

You did it

to topple "him".

I cut open a gas pipe on my way in.

Shoot me, this place explodes.

Since I'm here...

let's share intel about the Boss?

This might end up being a win-win.

I get it...

You don't know the Boss's identity either.

Analysts predict that

the real estate boom will continue over the next quarter.

Local news is next.

SF Police suspect that last week's

Southam Bus Explosion was a possible terrorist attack.

The blast resulted in 3 deaths

and 10 others seriously injured.

Multiple suspects were arrested since the incident.

Early Monday morning...

You really think the most dangerous place is the safest?

Some highways are being closed...

Residents reported hearing gun shots and explosions

SFPD say

their priority is to identify all persons involved in planning the attack.

Weather report follows.

SF Observatory issued the latest weather forecast at 12:45.

A low-pressure trough across the coastal areas

continues to bring unstable weather to Solo Field.

Today, cloudy with occasional thunderstorms forecast.

30mm of rain has been recorded since midnight.

Sleep.

Want to hear a story?

Okay, I'll tell you one.

Before I played "bad guy" to catch the bad guys,

I was a patrol officer.

I met my wife in a hospital.

I was taking a victim's statement...

after a car accident.

My wife was a kind and caring pediatrician.

Soon after we got married, she got pregnant.

We were so happy.

During a prenatal checkup...

we learnt that baby

would be born mentally disabled.

We still decided to keep the baby.

The birth of our baby...

left my wife completely traumatized.

She soon suffered depression.

One day, when I was in my son's room...

I heard a loud thud from the street.

My wife had jumped to her death.

I had to just carry on.

When my son was three,

he laid out sets of clothes and shoes

like his mother did before her death.

I realized then...

the difference between geniuses and idiots was miniscule.

I want him to be happy and healthy.

I need to protect him.

I don't care if strangers

judge him on the streets.

Because...

He's my son.

I was scared, so I played dumb.

But I really couldn't speak before.

When they abducted me, I was traumatized.

After then I could speak again...

What did you see there?

When I first got there

I didn't know anything, I just wanted to go home.

I saw other children.

They were blindfolded and taken away.

The adults thought I was born dumb

so they didn't take me.

When those children returned

they couldn't talk anymore.

Their heads were shaved...

I saw big scars on their heads.

I was scared they would take me one day.

So I kept on playing dumb.

They taught me to memorize things.

After many tests

they took me to a big house.

Someone came to my room to show me a card.

Then he left.

Afterwards, another man came in to show me another card.

He also left.

In the end, someone gave me the phone.

I added the numbers that I saw on the cards together and

answered into the phone.

Do you remember where the house was?

No, I only remember I heard sound of the trains.

Each time we went there, they blindfolded me.

They took me to the same restaurant.

There was a dark tunnel...

The car drove for another 8 seconds before stopping.

One more thing.

When you abducted me,

your reckless driving was so much fun!

We'll go to an amusement park next time?

Just promise not to spit on my face again.

Alright? Okay?

Boss knows you like spicy food; so try this.

Jim, I identified the girl by the DNA.

She's officially listed as deceased.

Most of the children were orphans.

Also the orphanage records show that

some children had exceptional memories.

I uncovered all of their death certificates.

I'll call you again.

- Ma'am. - Thanks.

- I'll get my wallet. - Okay.

Jim...something happened.

Calm down, Jackie, what is it?

Someone just tampered with my computer.

I'm afraid the files are gone.

Jim...?

You've been officially

removed from the investigation.

Turn over all leads and evidence to me.

Oh...

Don't embarrass yourself further.

Qiu, are you going to drive recklessly again?

Yes! You be careful though.

Sit tight; keep your head down!

Get him!

Are you okay?

Take it easy.

Should I go back...get another one?

No need.

Did you sleep well?

Not really.

Qiu just called.

And?

He said the Boss used the children to memorize codes.

But he doesn't know what for.

He also has a list of rogue cops.

He'll meet us at Agriculture Bridge tonight

SFPD just issued an arrest warrant

for Officer Yu Qiu suspected of committing

multiple crimes during an undercover operation.

There's a half-million-dollar bounty for Yu's arrest.

Coming up next.

Another child with mental disabilities

went missing from the National Hospital.

Let's wrap.

He pulled a no-show.

Pamberg of the Justice Department...

Shut the door.

It's a tracker!

Movement on the top floor, go!

I'm the Boss.

Did you expect me to look like the Godfather?

Qiu!

Qiu, you found them! Wake up!

Six targets, 5-meters away, 12'o clock; cut power in...

3...2...1

Ten targets approaching the door.

Four targets, 6-meters away, 8 o'clock.

Power back on in 3...2...1

Is that all you've got?

I'm not done.

You're done?

I'm done.

Bingo!

New real estate regulations announced this morning.

Big developers expected to be impacted.

Take her to school now, hurry.

After rapid expansion in recent years led by Mr. Miyata Hidekazu,

Sanwa Realtors now controls...

My dear, let's go.

Mama will pick you up from school, okay?

...60% of the primary market.

Representatives from the developers could not be reached for comment.

Let's go.

The regulations are expected to...

Many people are coming up...

They've sealed all emergency exits.

Just run, I'll figure it out.

How many floors left?

They're right below you.

Enter the hallway.

Turn left.

Last room on your left, jump out the window.

How am I going to fit through this "pet-door-window"?

Door to your right, go!

Are you sure?

Yes!

Come over.

Good boy...

Chief.

Here are the evidences of money laundering

and other criminal activities

performed by Diane, Frankie and Justice Department Pamberg.

You think you can clean up this city?

Even if you could, then what?

This place used to be a poor, insignificant island

with a population of 3 million

of mostly fishermen and farmers.

Laborers were barely getting by.

Our rich neighbors opened factories here and polluted the land.

Yet the population grew to 20 million.

The reason?

Crime.

I don't want to wake up one morning and

find a horse head in my bed.

You want to go back to the good simple days?

It's possible...

it would cost many lives.

If I could trade my life for peace in the city.

I would.

You think they'd care if you died?

I just want to retire

and move somewhere else with my family.

Leave this mess to my successor.

Sorry Sir.

Thank you for years of service in the force.

I hope you have a peaceful retirement

and wish you and your happy family healthy and longevity.

I could punish you

for bypassing your superiors to meet me today.

How did it go?

What a wily old goat.

Chief Lee won't help us, we must rely on ourselves.

Where's Qiu?

Still looking; I'll report in when I locate him.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

All these years...

I knew you liked fancy clothes...

but I cannot imagine you are so greedy.

Greedy is having excessive desire to posses things you don't deserve.

Getting payback for one's sacrifices is called...

I don't know.

Whatever.

I was born and raised in this rotten city.

I used to be like you.

I took this job to uphold justice.

I dealt with the all kinds of criminals day and night...

as if my sole purpose was to serve them.

Whenever I looked in the mirror...

Fuck!

I looked more like a criminal each day

and my husband left me...

Back then I was pregnant with the twins.

What could I do?

I was helpless.

My whole world went black.

The only glimmer of hope was...

in my womb.

That's why I decided to make the city pay!

I want to send my girls to the US for a better life...

for the best education.

Is that too much?

That's how I stayed sane.

The US?

Do you know who is the President now?

Your story is quite ordinary

but your stupidity is extraordinary.

I'll ask you one last time.

Where's Yu Qui?

He's busy.

You love fashion.

He's picking an outfit for your funeral.

How considerate!

Enough of your games.

Just do it.

Hey, Jim.

I know you are a good cop, but you know what Jim,

being a good cop in this city is an insult.

I'm sorry, Jim.

Got it!

But that's what I'd like to be called.

Just do it.

...sound of the train

...the same restaurant

...a dark tunnel...the car drove for another 8 seconds before stopping.

Yu Qiu, what took you so long?

You miss me?

It was your birthday yesterday, sorry that I kept you too busy.

You must have forgotten.

Did you get me a gift?

Yes.

Open the gift?

Sure.

You must be wondering why I'm so powerful.

It's because my clients enjoy

a 40% rate of return.

Wow!

That's a lot.

For regulars, I would offer VIP investment products

that doubles your investments in 6 months.

I have all kinds of clients -

brothels, gambling dens, drug traffickers, arms dealers...

The list goes on.

But the majority of my clients

are just your average tax-evaders.

My syndicate is fully incorporated.

I control the property and stock markets.

If I sneeze,

the whole city would collapse.

During the rest day, I like going to the mass.

When everyone is happy...

when I see everyone getting what they want...

I feel like...

I am the a god.

I appreciate the greed and folly of this city.

This may sound odd...

but what I truly crave...

isn't money, but absolute power.

It's my calling in life.

Call me crazy...

But when the outside world

sees me as a vicious criminal,

it upsets me.

Why use those children to memorize account data for you?

Our biggest annual expense is the hackers.

You think I trust computers?

These mentally disabled children were social outcasts.

I enhanced their memory with neurosurgery,

transforming them into geniuses.

Isn't that wonderful?

Each time I see them,

I feel safe and secure.

Oh...

I'll tell you another secret.

Your corrupt colleagues are all clients of mine.

I arranged for them to play with you.

But they didn't know it.

Sorry, I sold you out.

But I'll pay you double.

Your silence can be bought, right?

Do you find me brazen?

Despite everything I've just said,

you won't find a single piece of evidence that implicates me.

Take another fifty years to gather more evidence.

You still can't touch me.

Because I don't exist in the system...

yet I'm everywhere.

Qiu

Jim found the list of rogue cops,

but he's in a coma in ICU.

Remember the photo you gave me?

After enlarging it, the two red dots in the sky turned out

to be a Japanese tour company logo.

But I don't know how it appeared there.

This is the bail document issued by the Supreme Court.

Happy birthday!

I'm Richard Chung from Internal Affairs.

Officer Yu Qiu, you're accused of committing multiple felonies.

You're under arrest.

Yes...I am heading my way to the airport.

Did you mention my trip to anyone else?

Okay.

I'll see you both later.

My glasses.

Miyata Emiko

How are you?

You forgot this.

I suppose

you figured out what I want?

Why me?

Because we're the same folk.

I never planned to kill you.

Whatever happened was just part of the game.

Without challenges...

it wouldn't be fun.

How did I fare?

Very well.

You've come this far.

If you get past me

you can become...

this city's new...

Ruler.

I work for justice.

You should then accept my offer.

Evil is the stronger twin of justice.

Ever hear that saying?

Why choose justice?

You're quite candid, let's play "confession"?

Okay.

I'll go first.

I admire you.

You wiped out all the rogue cops.

That takes balls.

I like that.

You're beautiful

Thanks.

But make more of an effort.

My sniper has you in his sights.

If I raise my hand, you die.

Alright, my turn.

I'll tell you my life story, it's long.

I like stories.

My wife and I met in a hospital.

We soon married and she got pregnant.

We were so happy.

But a prenatal checkup revealed that

our child would be born with mental disabilities.

After a long debate...

we decided to keep the baby.

The birth of our child

left my wife completely traumatized.

After that...

she never smiled again.

One day

I was changing my son's diapers...

I suddenly heard a thud on the street.

My wife had jumped to her death.

I was devastated.

But I had a revelation.

If you don't want

a bad situation to continue,

you need to be ruthless.

So...

I killed my child.

Because...

He shouldn't have been born.

Just like...

you should die.

Your turn.

I like...

your ruthlessness.

My turn.

I poisoned your cigarette.

The world will go on without you.

Congratulations...

The truth is...

she had nasal cavity cancer.

The treatment caused her much suffering.

She lost all her hair.

Her injections cost 5 million dollars each just to

extend her life another week.

She planned it all,

playing you like a lab rat,

because she wanted to find someone worthy enough...

to be the next Boss.

I'm at your service.

Boss

Your arrest warrant has been recalled.

When will you return?

I need a vacation.

How long will you be gone?

With him?

Of course.

Better him than a nerd like you.

Look how well-built he is? We'll have lots of fun.

Qiu

It's dangerous to cross the line.

I'm used to walking on a tightrope.

I like it though.

I'll call you.

Qiu...

What? Can you still trust me?

Congratulations, Boss.

How may I serve you?

Thank you.

New time new way.

I have a new idea.

Which is...?

From now on

you have to stop completely your drug supply to Solo Field.

Now you might be thinking why you have to do so?

Simply...

you will be part of my other projects.

The return will pay off your loss.

First of all, I don't get your intention.

Why will I give up the guaranteed profits...

to learn and to risk in your new projects?

I can't think of any reason to agree to your new idea.

Can I have a word with you?

You have a critical reason to agree to my idea.

Your right hand man is now mine.

He has placed a pistol under this table...

and pointing at you now.

I offered him the same I gave you just now.

He said yes right away,

and is happy to put an end to the drugs shit.

Fuck!

How could I forget my umbrella in this weather?

I brought mine

but I gave it away.

I didn't think people like you still existed in this city.

People in this city are used to

selfishness and greed.

The man who took my umbrella thought I'm crazy.

People often call me crazy.

What can you do?

I can prove to the world

that I'm not crazy.

But that's what all crazy people say.

Hey!

Are you a cop?
