Marlboro super lights menthol.

He screws up the corner kick every time.

He's going to louse up my bet.

Not a total loss yet.

Too soon to tell.

He did that again.

He never passes the ball.

He does it all the time!

Always hogging the ball.

Pass it. What is he standing there for?

Stupid.

Didn't I tell you.

Pass!

Scram.

Piss off.

What the hell?

It is just a pack of cigarettes

It's a wipeout.

Yes.

We'll be right there.

Hey, new stock's in

M'am, suspect has entered the premise.

A total of five men and one woman in there.

Roger. Remain on lookout.

Wait for Sam's order.

Notify the immigration bureau about his friend.

What the hell is this?

Are you provoking us?

What a nuisance!

Run.

Don't move!

Fai, you asshole.

Traitor.

Let him go.

Shut up.

You're in charge?

I am ptu sergeant Lee wing Sam.

Serial number 7366.

You are under arrest...

For the suspicion of selling...

And possession of drugs and smuggled cigarettes.

I am here to warn you.

It's not necessary for you to speak.

But everything you say...

Will be submitted as evidence in court.

Which gang do you belong to? Wo luen shing.

You're the leader?

Come on, sir. Just making a living.

Dude, it's your turn.

A fat man was here today.

So picky and mean.

Couldn't satisfy him. Even wanted to sodomize me.

I disagreed. He nagged about the price too high.

At the end he came in two minutes.

Haggled for a discount. So much trouble.

How was business today?

They beat you again?

Time flies. Only memory left to savour.

Remember how we grew up as soul mates.

Innocents spending days and nights together.

Spring winds again blowing the petals red.

The years advancing.

Your heart's changed. Clock can not be turned back.

I can only hug you in my dreams.

Eat now.

3 associates seized, $60000 goods confiscated.

Count my loss.

I'm devastated that your place was raided.

But I'm mad that you blame me for it.

If you're not the tipster, then who else?

It's a misunderstanding.

Here is the rat who snitched.

We're handing him over to you, so shut up.

You're toying with me?

You've broken his head already.

If that doesn't square it,

and you're looking for trouble,

I will turn your place upside down.

It will ruin business for everybody.

I repeat.

It's fai who shitched. Take him and leave.

Tie him up.

Double-crosser! After him!

If you're so mad, why not put an end to it tonight?

Center, ptu...

Do you want to file a report?

Someone's injured and wants to report it.

Aoabh.

Can't we wait after the break? He's always brawling.

Repeat what you said!

One raid a night is not enough for you?

No.

Ptu sergeant serial number 7366,

ptu sergeant serial number 26316. Center calling.

Sent.

A fight is reported

in temple street.

We need your support.

Roger.

Asshole, you set me up?

Of course I did, stupid.

Charge!

Sarge, you're on night shift?

Sam.

Don't like it one bit.

Those gangsters are creating more and more trouble.

Our superior has ordered that,

all personnel's go on patrol.

I have been working all day.

Wish something big will land.

Deal with them once and for all.

Don't need to close.

Person in charge? Yes.

Show your license please.

This way please.

Sit down, over there.

Kun is dead. What happened?

Maybe I should ask his mom.

We'll tell you first thing, sir.

No co-operation from you then.

Maybe you can talk to his mom yourself.

You overdo it, I will react appropriately.

I will raid your place everyday.

Until you run out of business.

Sir, thanks for clearing kun's body.

Speak.

15 minutes before kun's death, you were arguing with him.

Don't tell me you aren't involved.

Spread the news.

That he's informing us.

Set him up.

You'll kill him.

We're after the murderer, not him.

Yesterday in temple street

a case of gang related killing occurred.

I believe you're all informed.

Information shows that...

This is related to lok's gang wo hap hing...

And kun's wo luen shing.

Our superior has ordered to strike at lok's gang...

Wo hap hing.

Information shows that,

wo hap hing operates vice establishments...

Is involved in smuggling cigarettes and drugs...

And underground gambling.

Our operation tonight is launched...

In conjunction with anti-triad bureau and customs.

The code is "Leo".

Our target is to terminate all their activities tonight,

arrest everyone we can.

Hurry up.

Want to be slapped?

Quiet.

Shut up, police inspection.

Men to the left and women to the right.

What's this?

Order everybody to shut up shop.

No dealings this whole month.

Damn it. All our business legit or not,

seized by the police.

I'm sure fai is the cause of it

I saw him...

Talking to the police.

Snitch.

Report... the police...

They'll deport me.

Go! Let's go!

Call the police and lok will kill us.

Something's wrong?

- Stand still! - Shun!

Let them be. We have our hands full.

Collect the medicine when her name's called.

Cheung man wai.

Take it 4 times a day.

Once every three hours.

$215.

Not... not...$457

she is a transient.

For non-Hong Kong residents,

the charges is $215.

Wait ..L get money.

Hey, he hasn't paid yet.

Stop!

Cops coming round everyday.

How can I deal my drugs?

The heck!

Fatso, why don't you go back selling fish?

The cops making trouble in temple street,

who stirred it all up?

We're being driven into a corner,

so you admit it. Why don't you get a stool-pigeon,

or else get out of temple street.

Who're you? Even dad don't teach me to do things.

Lok, are you trying to go against everyone?

Fai, what're you here for?

Go away, none of your business.

I didn't... snitch...

What?

What did you say?

Speak.

Crack! Let him carry on.

Bro lok, I didn't snitch.

I was framed by the pt...

I am useless... an imbecile...

I keep quiet even when I got beaten. I deserved it.

But I have a woman with me.

She's good to me.

I wish her well.

We haven't eaten for three days.

She is ill now.

Bros... I didn't rat on you...

Give us a way out.

How pitiful!

Crack!

I am fair and square.

I admire your standing up like a man..

I know that you were framed by the cops.

Here's $50000.

You were unlucky.

The cops used you as bait in their raid.

If it weren't for you, none of this would have happened.

Our business wouldn't have been ruined.

Go to a police station before daybreak,

admit that you killed kun.

Okay?

Fai

Every man just wants to use me for sex.

Only you are genuine to me.

Let's run away together.

I grew up in temple street...

I have nowhere to go.

A woman will follow her man anywhere.

Listen to me.

I knew you'd double cross us.

I beg you, don't beat him.

Please, I'd do whatever you want.

Anything?

Big bro calling young brother.

Target's rolling over to your side.

Roger, target's approaching.

Target's doubling back.

Order was for all illicit activities to cease.

How brazen of crack to keep peddling durgs.

Nobody would dare if there's no money in it.

Once the stash changes hands,

we'll catch them red-handed.

Need to show ID for drinking?

Show your ID.

Don't have one.

Calm down.

So what, officer?

Get your ID out!

Fine.

Here you are.

One ID.

Sam? It's sarge.

What's up? I'm on the beat.

Where?

At the basketball court.

I'm at the yaumati market.

I'm onto a big case.

Can you keep clear till we wrap things up?

May's nearby. Better tip her off too.

Alright.

All's clear. Come on over.

May? It's sarge.

What's your position?

Following a break-in.

We're really close by.

We'll be quick. Won't be a disturbance.

Can't let the burglar get away.

We'll see who'll get their job done first.

Maybe they broke in after the owner's out?

It's unlikely.

Seems like an invalid.

You have anything on her?

A woman in her/0's, living alone,

we called her cell. No answer.

Try again.

Ptu 36232 calling.

We have injured party. Paramedics required.

No pulse.

Unconscious. No pulse.

After him.

Stop.

Hurry up!

You're think we're just idling?

Taking so long!

Stop!

Thief! After him!

Dealer's entering arena. Get ready.

Action!

Wait.

Pick it up.

Pick it up, bastard.

Action!

Damn it! After him!

Don't move!

Ptu 39623 calling.

Accident on canton road.

Ambulance needed.

When gangs become desperate, innocents suffer.

Lok.

Officer, why trouble you to look me up.

Next time just give me a call.

Call crack.

You have his number.

If you can't find him, think I can?

Hand him over, you bastard.

Cool down, sarge.

I have no idea what crack is up to.

But your cracking down on temple St...

Is causing much hardship to many people.

Can't make a living.

It's out of control.

If everything not your control is what you want.

Just say so.

If it hadn't been for me, would it be so pacific?

I believe in working with the authorities.

Don't want no trouble. I'm a good man.

Bro, I'm in a fix.

Have to skip town. I need dough.

I'm busy. Call you later.

It's urgent. Send it over.

I'll see to it.

Make sure. Or we'll go down together.

Is it crack?

We can trace him.

Yes, it's him.

He threatened to kill my family.

But I don't know his whereabouts.

Catch him quick. Don't want him to find me first.

He's nuts.

I'll call you if I have news.

You'll do likewise. Co-operation with the police.

Want some?

Have it.

Stop.

Sir, she's a lunatic.

Arrest this crazy woman.

Ask madam to assist.

Stand still.

Madam.

Madam, you're just in time.

She tried to kill me.

Need an ambulance?

No, I want to charge her.

Take them into custody.

File for assault.

Offend article 154.

I am ptu sergeant 26316 cheung pui yee.

Miss, this man accuses you of assault.

We have to hold you pending investigation.

Stop.

Stand still!

Please.

Don't... arrest her...

She's all I've got.

Please.

I guess it's lok's handiwork.

Must be him.

The order was to clean up temple street.

It's messier now than before.

Let the gangs have the run of things?

Can't let them make rules for us to follow.

Want to go to the gym after work?

No, too tired.

- How about snooker? - Fine.

Ask chung too.

Madam, something's wrong?

Looking for lok?

- He is upstairs. - I'll come later.

Don't be later than 3:30.

He has to be back on duty at the mahjong parlor.

What's it for?

For... my wife...

This a good one, $38.

I only got...$34.

Very well.

Receipt?

Why are you tailing us?

Speak!

Speak?

Trying to mess with us?

Speak!

Explain!

It's a receipt.

Fal, don't create trouble.

Sir, why did you let fai go free?

We already have our hands full. Why bother?

Why not?

Us too!

And other columns in this district as well.

He's tailing every patrol.

He's just a lunatic.

He quits punctually everyday.

Say that again!

I asked you to repeat that!

That idiot quits tailing...

Almost the same time everyday.

May, when does he start tailing...

And when does he quit?

Appears around 2:00, quits at 3:30.

- What about our column? - The same!

Where were you at 3:30?

Shanghai street.

We were just opposite. Outside xanadu sauna.

What about other columns?

They report that he disappears at 3:30.

Is he crazy enough to Rob a sauna?

No.

We are his target.

That whore was like treasure to him.

I was the one who arrested her.

It's conceivable he finds me reprehensible.

He's tailing us to find the 5 minute slot...

Between 3:30 to 3:35...

When we're on break and you're alone.

Just nabbed 5 grams of heroin from an addict.

What if plant it on him?

We've done him wrong in the first place.

We're all responsible for this situation.

We've achieved our aims. Now redress his grievance.

You won't take action, I will.

I want to make amends.

If he co-operates, all will be well.

If he doesn't, everything's in vain.

So at 3:30 we'll just let him...

Take a stab at you?

Yes.

At least we know what he's up to.

Better than just telling him to get lost.

Not knowing when he'll ever plan action.

Ask sarge for help.

Checkmate.

Twenty dollars.

Terrific!

Another game?

You consciously let the girl perform oral service

in return for a piece of bread?

Sir, I've given my statement already.

Everybody withessed the whore assaulting me.

Old man, where's your conscience?

Sam, I've persuaded the old guy.

He agreed to withdraw the charges.

The girl can be released right away.

Thank you.

May.

Nobody's seen fai today.

What about your column?

Has fai showed up today?

No.

Thanks.

Fai has been tailing us all week.

Now he's no where to be seen.. I'm sure he's up to something.

One hour to go...

Is it enough time to release the girl?

I'll see to it immediately.

How's it?

All quiet, madam. I'll leave you in charge now.

Hide your ID.

Sir, we're in place.

I'll stay here on my own.

Sir, how can we leave you alone?

It's against the rule.

Simply arrest him when he pull's his knife.

I don't even want to see him pulling his knife.

I want to set things right, not make it worse.

The subject's here!

You know that I'm surrounded.

Make a move and there's no turning back..

Relax. Wait for Sam's order.

Give up.

If it weren't you... none of this would've happened...

Sam.

Let's go home.

Go home now...

Go home.

Go home.

Sergeant 26316, over

gunfight at temple street and kansu street.

Attention, temple street and kansu street...

Policeman injured. Assistance required.

At the end those assholes...

Spend a few thousand on a fall guy...

To admit killing kun.

Why do we need to work so hard...

To protect these hooligans?

Quit nit-picking.

Get off my back. Am I wrong?

So what?

Hey!

Chung, one chicken dies, another one's hatched.

Temple street has it's own set of rules.

Even we policemen are dictated by it.

It's not our aim to stop them scrounge for a living.

If those hooligans become desperate,

they'll take a bite out of us.

What we do is strike a balance.

Why wear this uniform?

We are salary men, not Superman.

Crack using a fall guy is also a kind of balance.

This ecosystem eventually

have its way of redressing

all excesses and infringements.

No one should take unnecessary steps.

If you do, you'd end up like that.

Unfortunately, police are also emotional beings.

Nobody bothers to look at us...

From a humanitarian standpoint.
