Mr. Tang Shu-be,

the Deputy Secretary for Mainland Affairs Association,

becomes the first communist to visit Taiwan.

he will be arriving at Chung Ching International Airport this afternoon at 3:52.

People supporting the Independence for Taiwan movement

and those who support unity of the two shores are staging a riot.

Which resulted in a massive fight.

I am thankful to the Taiwan Police Force.

What I see at the airport...

is not a courteous way to receive a guest.

Get ready.

Quick.

Cheer up! Cheer up.

Cheer up. . .

Chung-shu.

Tell me...

why the party should nominate you.

Because I love Taiwan.

I am loyal to the party.

I love the party.

I am loyal to the chairman.

I am loyal to you.

I love you.

Thank you so much!

Chiu-sen, why should we nominate you?

One reason, if you nominate me, I'll win.

If you nominate him, he will lose.

So, the seat will be taken by the other party.

You're right.

The boss shares the same point of view with you.

In fact, we are inclined to nominate you.

Chung-shu, how much have you spent on the election so far?

About 1 5 million.

Chiu-sen, send him 20 million within three days.

And then send a sum of money to the boss.

I'll tell you the exact amount.

Thank you, Chairman.

Go back and settle your gang.

Don't lose your cool and get into trouble.

Chung-shu, it's settled, wait for the next election.

Don't you have any hard feeling.

I won't yield.

A nationalwide raid against triads code named "1 st Liquidation" was conducted in 1 989.

Chau Chiu-sen was put behind bars for five years.

Now, he is an entrepreneur with a networth of over NT$3 billion.

Let's focus on his electronic games business,

he has 38 electronic game shops...

which are actually underground casinos.

With a daily turnover of fifty million NT dollars.

He is bigger than Mcdonald's.

Approximately half of his revenue...

goes into bribery for government officials.

This big boss,

being the head of the Sung-lin Gang,

now wants to enter politics.

He has enrolled as a candidate for the coming Legislative Council election.

There is a government practice,

Once a person becomes a legislative councilor, he is above the law,

even his seedy past will be buried.

It doesn't make sense.

So? Let's do something about it.

Let's stop him.

As for the corrupted departments...

let's wait for the right time to act.

Because it involves too many officials.

Be patient.

Yes sir, I know the importance of timing.

I am proud to have you as my student.

So many expensive cars are parked here!

Thank you.

Welcome. . .

Dear customers,

Grab a seat quickly. . .

The sooner you put a bet on, the sooner you can win.

Damn you bastard! All you care about is gambling.

Congratulations...

You've won the jackpot!

You've won an electric rice cooker.

This is filled with gambling electronic games.

Call the police.

Sorry.

The cars parked outside are too expensive ride for this crowd.

Fong, the police said they've just finished their routine inspection of the place.

They said that this shop is legally run,

they rejected our case.

Call again, tell them someone is trafficking drugs here.

"Staff only"

Only members are allowed to enter.

Welcome.

The couple who have just entered. . .

are using membership card number JK0843,

but this card was reported lost a few days ago.

This game is specially designed for you.

It brings extraordinary excitement. . .

There will be six participants appearing on screen.

Their horoscope signs, blood type and physical condition will be shown.

Push the right button. . .

to place a bet.

The maximum bet is 50 points, minimum bet is 1 point.

The dividend paid is shown on the screen.

Good luck.

Police raid.

Change the boards at once.

Change the board.

It's alright, go on. . .

Routine inspection only.

Miss.

May I buy you a drink?

They're in trouble.

Ask him to hang on for ten more minutes.

Fong said to give him 1 0 more minutes.

Good luck.

Nice to meet you.

Some coca cola?

- You're so kind. - My pleasure.

We received a report that you are selling amphetamine.

Must be sore losers.

Tso, we are making so much money here already.

Why do we want to sell drugs?

We can provide them for free.

We never sold any drugs.

Captain, two small sized electric cookers.

It's too small!

Bring two big ones.

Go exchange them for money.

Ah Koon, you go do it.

I'm in uniform, maybe it's not a good idea.

Two big electric cookers are worth $200,000.

Wait, I'll get the right sum.

Two hundred thousand.

You count it.

He stole my cooker.

Alright, stop it, just tell them.

Run!

May Li, move.

Go down this stairs and then turn left.

Turn right and walk for 30 meters.

Turn left, walk 23 meters.

Where are we?

- I can't open it. - You can't open it?

Are we at the right place?

Open the door, if you see water, then it's the right exit.

Over there! Move over there.

Go!

It hurts!

Be gentle!

Don't be naughty.

Let go of me!

You little devil!

You're disgusting!

It hurts!

Please be gentle. . .

You're disgusting!

It hurts!

Please!

Sir, you should get a massage more regularly.

Your health is poor.

Really?

When I press the pressure points and he feels great pain,

that means those parts of his body are in bad shape.

So how come he is not screaming like I am?

His health must be much better than mine.

No, it's only because he has a strong mind.

He can tolerate great pain.

Tell us about the strong parts of his body.

Tell us.

Why talk about the strong parts of his body?

His weakest organ is his kidney.

When I pressed the point which reflects your kidneys,

it must hurt so much you want to piss in your pants.

I can hear the ladies laughing,

that reconfirms that you have a weak kidney which is already affecting your sex life.

I am sure I have the right diagnosis.

You're so generous!

Do you know what this is?

A nutcracker.

Apart from cracking nuts, it's a very versatile tool.

Yeah, I also use this when I eat crabs.

San-pao, take him to the toilet.

Take off his trousers.

Crack his nuts. . .

so he understands how a depressed sex life feels like.

Take him away.

Chinese people said, blind people are usually smart.

He must be the exception.

That's right.

Come on. . .

This case will determine the legitimacy of the electronic game business,

whether it can legally exist in Taiwan.

Welcome, welcome!

Playing electronic game isn't gambling.

We support Mr. Chau.

Playing electronic game isn't gambling.

We support Mr. Chau.

Mr. Chau, what is your view?

Here comes Mr. Chau.

Mr. Chau, we support you.

Thank you. . .

You are invited to our restaurant for a dinner...

at 6pm this evening.

As a gesture of our appreciation.

Quiet.

Please be seated.

The court's in session.

From the official report. . .

provided by the Education Dept. ,

it's said that, the electronic games which are popular in this society,

has not categorically been defined...

as gambling.

It means that we have no legal. . .

ground for indictment.

I find the defendant Chau Chiu-sen not guilty.

All electronic games & computer IC boards...

must be returned to Mr. Chau at once.

Rumor has it that you have a very good relationship with the Education Department.

Chiu-sen is a nice guy, he has friends everywhere.

Right?

You are the chairman of the Union of Electronic Game Centres,

so why do you operate underground casinos?

since the definition between gambling and electronic games isn't clearly defined yet,

being the chairman, I have to be proactive.

so I would like to hold a public hearing,

to invite representatives from all walks of life to help draw up a standard code of practice,

then I'll make sure our members will follow the set rules.

Hopefully it will clear up any misunderstandings.

You are the accused,

but you are sounding like the judge!

Excuse us...

Chiu-sen has to rush off to officiate an inauguration for a highway.

Please excuse us and save the questions for some other time.

Thank you.

Ling Fei, are you alright?

I am fine.

"Righteousness is usually late, but it'll come sooner or later!"

Stop playing around.

Dinner is ready.

Good evening, this is your DJ.

This afternoon, I received a call,

a young man wants to dedicate a song to his dad.

He wishes his dad to be happy forever.

The song is...

Mei Lan-fong's "Drunken Concubine".

How's business today?

Terrible!

You know, your dad is always picky about whom to pick up.

Especially single girls,

if they are not suitable to be my daughter-in-law,

I won't give them a ride.

Have you seen the picture. . .

I gave you last week?

The girl is pretty and well educated.

A customer you met on the street?

A customer I "chose" on the street!

Fei, I have to stop here,

A lady wants a ride.

Taxi. . .

Excuse me, will you take me to Bei-tau?

Sorry, I am in a hurry, I am sorry.

About the book report,

you haven't written a word yet.

You just go shopping everyday.

I don't know how to write it, I am not going to the meeting.

This "Heritage Society" is organized by the wife of Chairman Hau.

The members are all wives of senior officials.

I put in a lot of effort to make you a member.

How can you refuse to go?

Give me a reason why.

Damn it.

I am not well educated, they despise me.

I don't think they are well educated either.

It's an excuse for them to do some networking.

I am satisfied just to be your wife.

I don't need to be the wife of a legislative council member.

Do you remember the days of the "First Liquidation"?

Don't you think it's enough to be kept behind bars for five years?

During the "Second Liquidation", we were lucky to be in Hong Kong.

Who knows when the government will launch a third liquidation?

Now, I am rich enough to bid for a seat in the legislative council,

it provides the best insurance.

Otherwise, how can we be sure to have a stable life in the future?

But you have to spend 20 to 30 million dollars to be elected!

You fool, don't you understand what investment means?

Once I have power,

I can get many times return on my investment.

Alright, be a good girl, I'll help you write the report,

and you memorize it and go to the meeting tomorrow.

You've ruined my dress.

Go buy another one.

Hello,

this is a live report by. . .

Ling Fei in the "Benefaction Villa",

a charity auction for ash urns is being held right here.

Excuse me. Thank you.

Please give way...

Sir.

Chiu-sen, I'm so glad to see you.

Please rise.

The "Benefaction Villa", Supreme Sung Miu-tin.

May we have Madam Chiu, Chairlady of the Chai-sai Association,

also Mrs Hau, Deputy Chairman of the Council,

to host the auction for us.

The objective...

of this auction,

is to gather all the kind hearted people,

for those uncared,

we can now offer them free urns

and a good buried place.

Those who has done good...

will find internal peace.

At the same time, Master Sung will offer the donors his special spiritual blessing,

to help them to avoid evils and bad luck.

And to strengthen their luck and wisdom.

The starting price for each urn is $300,000.

I hope all of you will do your best to contribute.

Madam is a great lady.

I am really touched. . .

by her speech.

To show my support,

I'll buy ten urns.

The starting price for each urn is $300,000, is that right?

So how much is ten urns?

3 million!

You know how much...

Madam Chau paid?

$60 million!

How generous!

That may be the political donation by Chau...

in order to get the party's nomination.

Is that right?

- That's right. - It's possible.

How is the money channeled from that charity association?

Who knows?

You're right.

Look at this.

On last Monday and Saturday,

Chau and the Deputy Commissioner of the Public Works Department...

played golf twice.

Mr. Lam is the boss of Tak-cheung Construction Company.

He wants to bid for the construction contract for Bin-hai Road.

But he received anonymous threats.

He suspects that it was Chau, so he came to report the case.

Now, all the government construction contracts go to Chau.

He is a triad.

He knows nothing about construction.

Kidnapping, killing, setting fire. . . they are experts.

they can easily burn a building down,

but they have no idea on how to build one.

The triads are connected with the officials.

They share most of the government construction budget with the Public Works Dept. ,

and allocate only a small sum for the actual construction.

The quality of the work is thus grossly compromised.

Even before an earthquake, the building will collapse.

Our government is collaborating with illegal gangs.

Our construction site is being forcefully occupied, my staffs are beaten.

It's worse than what's shown in Hollywood movies.

They sent this...

to my son's school.

Open.

Paper pagoda tombs.

Two big ones and a small one, do you get it?

How dare I report to the police?

They are all bribed.

If I go to the police, I am just leaving myself...

wide open for further danger.

I come to you. . .

just to try my luck.

God knows you are getting nowhere.

And you want me to be your undercover?

Don't you feel ashamed even asking me?

We serve the community in different ways.

I construct building and you beat crimes,

are you kidding me?

Alright, you are a nice guy.

I know you from the TV report.

You are straight.

But you'll have it do it on your own.

I can't help you at all.

What's the matter?

Shut up!

See what they have done to my son!

I swear, I would take revenge for you.

Thank you.

Well...

Nice haircut? I did it.

Be careful, someone might find out.

"Competition - Tea Ceremony"

Mr. Lam.

- Nice to meet you. - Me too.

Take a seat.

Thank you.

Alright, let's start the meeting.

The late comers have given up their rights.

Who will make the tea for us?

Come on, speak out, don't just look at me.

I am just the organizer, I don't have to be the chairman.

Mr. Chau, I am sorry, I was caught in a traffic jam, I am sorry.

San-pao.

Move the empty chair away.

Since everyone is kind enough to give me face,

I'll serve the tea.

Please turn off your pagers and mobile phones.

Sorry, sorry....

Mr. Chau, I am late.

It's because of a traffic jam.

Traffic jam? What car are you driving?

I have a...

Mazda.

We all drive Mercedez or Rolls Royce.

and you drive a Mazda, that's why you are late.

You are not even qualified

to join this meeting.

Find a seat.

Yes, thank you.

Can you find any?

No.

You are 1 1 minutes late, that shows you don't respect this meeting.

You are despising us.

So how can you expect us to treat you as a buddy?

Wait for my call at home, I'll call you later.

About the Bei-hoi Road construction.

A total of 1 8 companies are planning to bid for the contract.

According to my estimates, 9 companies are not big enough

to handle such a big project.

So I talked to them before this meeting.

And they gave me face too.

They decided to withdraw.

Which leaves us, the nine companies.

And one has just forfeited.

So, there are eight of us left.

We are all resourceful and strong.

But I would like to call for unity.

If we bid separately,

will the successful bidder end up being a winner?

I am sure the final price will be so low, it's not worth it.

I hope we would make money together.

To share the profit from the project.

After all, it's the government's money.

Our government is very rich.

I'd like to make a suggestion.

Actually,

I would like you to do me a favour.

I'll be frank,

I want this project.

Since my business is growing rapidly, my cash flow is tight.

And here is my offer.

Firstly, the government's budget for the construction is 1 billion.

Say I'll make 20% profit, that's 200 million.

I'll allocate 40 million,

the seven of you can share it.

That is, each of you will get just over 5 million.

Secondly, the government will offer 3 more contracts in the second half of the year.

I promise I won't be bidding.

I'll be satisfied with my nominal share of the profit as calculated similarly to this project.

I'm finished.

Yes, or no?

I object.

I always tell my friends that, Mr. Chau is someone I really admire.

He gets the contract and he doesn't need to lift a finger.

You'll take half of the 1 billion.

And then subcontract out the project.

With several levels of subcontracting,

The quality of the building material will be compromised,

then you work with the officials of the Public Works Department,

to build in an overbudget allowance of 300 to 400 millions,

you will end up making at least 700 millions from the construction.

And you are offering us such a pathetic sum of money,

you are out of your mind.

What he says makes sense.

I told my buddies not to come,

but they insisted on coming.

They are just small timers and don't know the better.

But, Mr. Chau,

I've talked to Mr. Lau beforehand about this contract,

we've decided to join up in the bidding.

We are determined to win.

But, after listening to what you just said,

we find it hard to accept.

Cute!

I am impressed,

You are not Chinese.

You're like Americans.

You are such good negotiators, you are just like the Americans.

Alright, this is my last offer.

First, each of you will get 7 million.

Second, Kiu-wu and Mr Lau...

. . .will be my authorised subcontractor.

I'm done, yes or no?

I object.

I agree.

I object.

No, I agree.

- I agree. - We agree too.

Get out.

Thank you for giving me face, please go back.

Mr. Lam and I will sort out our problem.

Let's go. . .

Why don't you...

. . .stay a bit longer?

Do you have your own driver?

You have intentionally tried to make trouble in the meeting today.

Who is backing you?

Damn you.

Shit! Mr. Lam has got a gun.

Chau Chiu-sen, I am an upright person!

I am not afraid of any triads.

To hell with you!

You should know what I mean.

Help!

Shit.

Help!

Nicotine, turn on the taps.

You're tough.

Thank you.

You're lucky to be alive.

Last year, more than 1 60 people were hurt when three projects,

using inferior building material, resulted in collapses.

Citizens are furious about the triads rigging such biddings

in collaboration with government officials.

Director of the construction company, Chau Chiu-sen has disappeared.

The Public Works Dept. announced today that the Bin-hei project will be suspended for 3 months.

All investigation will be conducted on the alledged collaboratioin

between government officials and bidding contractors.

Leading the investigation is Fong Kuo-fei,

the investigator who has headed the government's anti-electronic games gambling campaign.

Fong and his team of investigators...

are the true guardians of Taiwan,

doing their best to maintain its peace and order.

I am Ling Fai, reporting live.

I watched your report, you've done a great job.

Congratulations.

Thank you, I am just reporting the facts.

But my boss always criticises me of being too forthcoming.

You've come to buy pet's food?

Yeah, for my daughter.

Doggie or kitty?

Neither, I'll show you.

Look, this is Evita.

Pretty!

Who do you mean?

Both.

This is for you.

Thank you.

This is for you,

they are my kids.

Li, Dun, and Fei.

Welcome, Miss, do you have any reservation?

Yes, Mr. Fong's table for two please.

This way please.

Over there.

Thank you.

He is a nuisance! A chain smoker!

It doesn't matter.

She doesn't always dress like this.

We don't mind.

Please sit down.

They are my partners.

They insist on coming, I can't say no, I am sorry.

You are a considerate guy.

What's the matter, you don't measure up?

But you've bigger ones.

Stop teasing me.

Mr. Fong, excuse me.

Someone ordered wine for you.

Who?

Mr. Chau.

A gift from Mr. Chau.

This is a Petrus. This wine is worth over $60,000 NT dollars,.

Please do us a favour. Please accept the wine.

otherwise, we will be blamed.

Alright.

- Please open it. - Thank you.

Please pick up my handbag.

- Thank you. - Mr. Fong

Let the wine breathe for a while. Give it 20 minutes.

I think my friend would like to taste it now.

Sure.

The wine has gone bad.

That's highly unlikely.

There shouldn't be a problem.

I think the taste is weird.

- You try it. - Sure

Mr. Fong, I am sorry...

Don't worry,

send the wine back to Mr. Chau.

Tell him that, both the wine and its master are rotten.

I am sorry.

What did you drink?

Come on, water please.

I toast you.

How can I be so stupid!

Why didn't I take catchup instead?

I am sure the final price will be so low, it's not worth it.

I hope we would make money together.

To share the profit from the project.

After all, it's the government's money.

Our government is very rich.

I'd like to make a suggestion.

Recently, there are all sorts of rumour...

spreading all over town.

A lot of people are taking this chance,

to attack the Public Works Department for collaborating with triads.

You are responsible, do you know that?

The boss is mad.

What do you expect your punishment to be?

Don't tell me he will withdraw my nomination.

You are right.

We decided to nominate Ting Chun-shu instead.

At least he is obedient.

Any chance to rectify the situation?

What do you think?

If it's money, I can pay more.

It's not that simple.

Better forget this year's election.

Wait for the next one.

So the 60 million I paid will be treated as an advanced payment for the next election.

Damn you! Cut the bull shit!

I've done enough covering up for you.

In the last few days, I've kept running around,

I didn't get enough sleep, and I drank so much. And it's all because of you.

Why should I even bother?

If it weren't for me,

This tape would have leaked out.

For sure you won't be sitting here watching this so comfortably.

You would have been arrested by the investigators.

You must be crazy.

Is there something wrong with your brain?

You ass is transplanted to your brain, isn't it?

Damn it! Isn't saving your ass worth $60 million?

I have never demanded a cent more.

Damn it.

Bastard! You should think before you talk.

Thank you, Chairman, thank you for your benovolence and generosity.

It's all my fault.

I will go back and reflect on my mistakes.

Chairman, take care, and have a good rest.

I am leaving now.

I've been cheated.

They took my 60 million.

And then turn the investigators onto me.

Actually, they have never really considered nominating me.

Damn!

I'll have to fight this.

Great, now that you are here.

Master.

What the hell did you feed her?

I didn't feed her anything.

So, what's happened.

Maybe, she'd stolen the drugs

from somewhere else.

She is your disciple.

You are responsible.

Don't worry.

Leave this to me.

Is her family here?

Don't worry.

Her family is far away from Taipei.

She has no friends or family in Taipei.

Anybody knows you are here?

No, impossible.

I've created a "double" as a cover.

Ask Leung to help you to get rid of the body.

Yes.

Can you fix it within an hour?

Sure.

You promised.

Yes.

If not, I'll cut you up into two.

Yes.

It's fixed.

I just spent 53 minutes.

I am proud of you.

Thanks for the good work.

Thank you.

And I wish you a happy holiday.

I've approved

your leave of absence.

Why?

Cheung, please come here.

Why?

Didn't I teach you?

Just obey your orders.

And never ask why.

Come in.

Go to Captain Fong's office,

collect everything about Chau Chiu-sen.

Sealed them and put them into the confidential file.

Yes Sir.

This is signed by the Commissioner.

You should at least give me a reason.

You embarrassed me.

How dare you check the account of the Cai-sai Association behind me?

Is this the reason?

Yes.

You acted without the consent of your superior,

According to the regulations, I can sack you right away.

Any other reason?

You better reflect on what you've done wrong.

And learn from your mistakes.

Thank you.

I shouldn't have been your student.

You don't deserve to be a teacher.

Do you always come here

when you're unhappy?

Yes.

I think this is the best treatment.

Don't give up, I'll support you.

Thank you.

Good morning.

The case against the bid rigging is most encouraging.

Yes, but we could have done more.

But why has it stopped?

Who told you that?

As I know, it's still proceeding.

Is it due to a shortage of staff?

I won't deny that.

We have always been over-worked.

We are seriously understaffed.

How do you rate Captain Fong Kuo-fai?

He is the finest.

But, particularly in light of the staff shortage situation,

why is he suddenly suspended?

I haven't received a report on this case.

So I can't answer your question.

Commissioner, when can you give me a satisfactory answer?

This is internal personnel affair.

I don't need to discuss it in public, good bye.

Commissioner.

Ling Fai.

- Commissioner. - Off record please.

Is Fai your friend?

Yes. . .

Just an ordinary friend.

I didn't ask whether he is your ordinary friend or boyfriend.

He is a special friend.

This is a letter from him.

Thank you.

What are you laughing at?

Long live China, Long live our party chief.

I have to thank the party for the opportunity and the trust.

A special thanks to the party chairman.

I, Ting Chun-shu would give my best. . .

no matter how difficult it gets...

Ladies and gentlemen, journalists,

Chiu-sen has an important announcement.

I, Chau Chiu-sen now declare,

from this second,

I withdraw from the party.

An independent fighting for a national peace and prosperity.

I will enter the Legisilative Council Election,

as an independent candidate.

I would appreciate all your support.

My campaign would be fair, honorable and transparent.

And I will be a very formidable opponent for Mr. Ting.

Behave yourself, mind your image.

Thank you.

National Prosperity and Peace.

Welcome. . .

Congratulations!

Thank you for your taxi company's support.

My pleasure.

It's our pleasure, thank you.

Mr. Chau, congratulations on the founding of your election headquarters.

Not only will I support you personally,

everyone of our taxi company will put up your election flags.

Dear fellows, Chau Chiu-sen is one of us.

He is not only our friend.

But a man of honour and integrity.

We should support him.

What would you say?

Bravo!

Chau Chiu-sen...

Miss, take my cab, Miss.

Miss, take my cab!

Damn you!

How dare you grab my customer?

I arrived first.

So what?

Thank you. . .

A driver from Pai-yun is having a fight with a driver from Chuen-kuok.

San-pao.

Call Mr. Kwan.

Heung.

Check where the wife of the Commissioner of the Police Dept.

will be going tonight.

Mr. Kwan, what happened?

No big deal, it's just a small misunderstanding.

God knows how it becomes such a massive battle.

Boss, if we can't solve it as soon as possible.

The traffic of Sai Mun-ting will be totoally jamed.

This is a good opportunity.

You have to support me.

Anything you want, just tell me.

I want you to choose ten spots with heavy traffic.

Ask all your drivers to start fights with the other company's drivers at the same time.

I want traffic in Taipei to come to a complete stop.

San-pao.

Boss.

Mobilize the "Ten Generals",

each of you lead three small teams to 3 spots to back up Kwan.

You lead a team to Sai Mun-ting.

Yes.

Remember, Sai Mun-ting is the main battle ground.

And the rest are covers.

I get you.

Now, it's five pm, it's rush hour.

I want a complete mess in Taipei within half an hour.

The messier the better.

Mrs. Tung will go to a ball held by the Taipei University Graduates Association

at the Hyatt Hotel at 6 pm.

That's great.

Have you been invited?

No, neither have you.

Get an invitation.

By hooks or by crooks, find a way to get in.

But I wouldn't have a seat assignment.

Keep switching tables and chatting to different people.

Or, dance with some of the university graduates.

You are beautiful and a good dancer.

It will be their dreams to dance with you.

It's too late, I have no time to get changed.

Alright!

Alert the press to wait for further instructions.

My bedroom will be the "War-room" for this operation.

To anyone else, I am drunk and have fallen asleep.

Except by you, I cannot be reached.

Go.

A fight resulted from two taxi drivers solicitating the same customer,

now the two taxi companies are gathering their gangs,

after heated argument, they began fighting.

Now the heart of Taipei is completly paralysed.

The police is now on site to try to solve the dispute.

If you are intending to pass through Sai Mun-ting, please reroute.

Son, I've seen my daughter-in-law...

reporting on TV.

Work is important, but she can't work with an empty stomach.

I'm going to send her some food.

Dad, don't go there, it's dangerous.

Dangerous? Not compared to what I've been through before.

When I fought the Japanese,

you were not even born yet.

Cut it out, will you?

Damn it!

Yes.

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Damn you!

I want a fight, but the Commissioner wants negotiation.

The other gang just doesn't want to talk.

Damn!

Drivers of the 2 taxi companies

are fighting fiercely under the bridge.

And we can see more taxies from Chuen-kuok Company

are still moving in.

The situation will definitely get worse.

Right here, we see only 20 cops,

but no one from any governement dept. is on the scene.

Do it!

Yes.

Kwan, go.

No shooting. . .

Kuo-fei...

It's dangerous. Leave!

Have you seen my dad?

What did you say?

Have you seen my dad?

You must leave here at once.

Leave me alone.

Run, my son!

Push! Push!

Son.

I'm fine.

When did you change your hair style and dress?

I went to the ball.

You're really something.

Commissioner.

Mr. Chau, I'm so sorry to bother you!

We know you are not well, we have no choice but have to bother you.

Please take a seat.

If we haven't seen Madam Chau in the ball,

I'll have no way of locating you.

My anti-riot troop has been despatched to the scene,

but, before any action is taken,

if they could reach an agreement,

that will avoid a lot of unnecessary casualties.

So, I wish you would help settle this riot.

I have been asleep for an hour, how come the world has become a mess?

Let's go.

Mr. Chau, don't you need to change first?

We need to save lives, time is of the essence here.

Let's go.

Give Kwan a call.

No pictures...

Chau Chiu-sen, candidate for the Legislative Council Election, has effectively

put down a riot

between the taxi drivers.

Chau Chiu-sen,

is willing to give assistance...

to the injured and deceased police and drivers.

I feel very bad

about such a riot.

I can't imagine that such small fight would end up to be a tragedy like this.

A small quarrel,

could ignite a riot in Taiwan,

watching the guys lying on the floor, soaked with blood,

if you were their relatives, how would you feel?

While we are threatened by external military power,

we are still fighting among ourselves domestically.

So much worries both externally and internally,

is breaking our hearts.

What we don't understand is,

why peace only comes

after severe injury?

Please take it back,

- I am leaving. - Ok

Don't look.

This is what I found while I was being suspended.

What do you think?

I think Chau Chiu-sen, Ting Chung-shu,

and those on the video tapes are all criminals.

They should all be put behind bars.

I hope the Commissioner would back me up in this mission.

You do know there are still big bosses behind them?

I know.

So, why do something you have so little chance of succeeding?

I love this land.

I can't let these scumbags

mess it up.

Many years ago, they ruined Mainland China,

our people retreated to Taiwan.

If they ruin Taiwan now,

where can we go?

We have our backs against the sea.

You are as tough as I was.

Very good,

we are waiting for someone to light up Taiwan.

You are the torch we need.

Kuo-fei, go ahead and do it.

I will support you.

Thank you.

What took you so long?

The air conditioner is out of order.

I'll go fix it right away.

Boss, something's coming up.

Take a look.

Isn't that Ting Chung-shu?

Chairman Hau's wife is here to collect his takes again.

- No smoking. - What's up?

Do you want to stuff this in?

This crook is doing one of his fake "Miracle Split" shot again.

His disciples are really buying his act.

Each of these photos are selling for $5,000.

During the last few days, I have been very restless.

I can feel some evil spirit disturbing me.

What?

What kind of bull shit is that?

Vice-Chairman Hau.

To make it simple,

I feel that someone has been tailing me during the last few days.

I don't know you that well.

How come you have my phone number?

lease don't call me again.

Get rid of him.

Use the press against Chau Chiu-sen.

Let's go.

Got you.

Go.

What are you doing?

Please help. . .

We are trapped.

Someone tried to shoot at me, but a woman was shot instead.

Call the ambulance.

Be careful!

Now I am in front of the noodle stall.

Nicotine.

Mei Li, take Nicotine away.

Come on, please hang on.

Watch out and be careful.

Get down.

Everyone, get down!

After them!

Go!

Legislative Councilor candidate Chau Chiu-sen

is rumoured to be. . .

associated with the shooting of inspectors Fong & Ngai at the Shi-lin night market.

Chau was alleged to be running video arcaded casinos

and is also behind the rigging of bidding for gov't construction contract.

Fong and his team members. . .

including Wah and Mei Li are all missing.

What are you laughing at?

You are really popular these days.

I keep seeing your face in all the media.

You have a bigger exposure than our president.

Tell me, what's so funny?

If you can't give me a satisfactory explanation, I'll beat you up.

All right! I am thinking what if you become our president one day.

It's not funny at all.

Really?

Yesterday, I imagined how you would look when you grow old. . .

See!

Just like our president!

You are holy. . .

Shit!

Stop crying!

Help!

Chau Chiu-sen.

Murder must withdraw.

It's rumored that, a guy named Chau is involved in bid rigging for a gov't project.

Investigators were able to get proof.

Chau is also rumoured to be involved with the murder of an investigator I

Chin-kuo in Shi-lin Night Market,

now, the focus is on Chau.

it's suspected that it is a revenge by Chau.

My friends...

Murder must not become a Legislative Councillor.

The murderer should withdraw from the election.

Damn you!

Shit...

Beat him!

Stop your bull shit!

If you have guts,

come with me in front of the temple to make an oath.

I swear,

My husband never did such a thing.

If he did,

I, Tsui Miu-heung, will be found lying dead in the street so everyone can step on me.

But you have to make an oath too.

If you maliciously spread such harmful rumors,

you'll die a horrible death with no children bearing your family name any more.

This is not rumour started by me. This is writen in newspapers.

This is public knowledge.

Everyone knows it.

Besides, I have never said your husband is a murderer.

I never do my watching with my ears.

But I did see you working in a nightclub...

. . .as a hostess 1 0 years ago.

You readily provided sexual service to any man whol asked.

No, you liar!

No, I assure you it's a right fact.

Damn you! Ting Chung-shu.

Are you a real man?

You can insult me,

but you cannot insult my wife.

Let me handle this.

Chiu-sen, you are a gentleman, let me say something.

Quiet!

Quiet please, listen to me, let me say something.

Quiet.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Yes, I worked in a nightclub,

I have an unfortunate past,

I never denied it.

There are things I regret having done.

Chiu-sen knows everything.

But, he hasn't despised me.

Yes, he was a triad kingpin.

But bygone is bygone.

I hope everyone would give him a chance.

So that he can do something for our country.

Think, if he can help reform me,

surely he can help reform this country as well.

Chairman, how are you?

I saw your car from above.

That's why I come to say hello.

Chairman.

Are you going to Ting Chun-shu's funeral?

No, I am going to attend my friend's wedding.

When did you join the air force?

No.

The traffic jam is getting worse.

If I don't buy a helicopter, I can't control my time.

Chairman, there are so many social problems to be solved.

I wish to become a councilor as fast as possible,

so I can work with you to service our people.

Do you want a ride?

That's great, I am in a hurry.

This way please.

Have you seen the TV live broadcast?

Chau won the election by a big margin.

Chau has been elected councillor.

The big surprise is, as a first time candidate,

Mr. Chau. . . got 1 25,000 votes,

a very high figure.

With all the controversy surrounding him lately,

he is receiving a lot of press coverage,

building awareness for him.

What a beautiful way to begin his political life.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Time is running short.

Soon, I will be forced to resign.

Do what you have to do.

The Master splits again.

Now, you are watching proof of your crime.

You know you are guilty.

My name is Sung Miu-dee, brother of Sung Miu-tin.

Miu Tin has forced me to be his split image cover.

I was short and thin.

He didn't let me do any exercise,

and he stuffed me with food.

He gave me plastic surgery.

He removed half of my hair,

broke my knee caps to make me taller.

He ordered me to wear high-heel shoes everyday.

Apart from your profitable religious racket,

you still sell drugs. . .

with Ting behind your boss's back.

Urn number 1 9 is the place you hide the drugs, right?

You use religious healing as an excuse,

to rape a lot of woman disciples.

Mrs. Hau?

That's right.

I'll be damned...

How come you have this picture? He screwed Mrs. Hau?

Computergraphic.

I only suspected it,

but judging from his face, I know I am correct.

Get ready.

Alright, time's up.

Let him talk.

I know I am guilty.

Please give me a chance.

How are you, boss?

Hi! Master.

Master.

This is for Madam Chau.

Master Hung.

May I propose a toast to the four new Legislative Councilors.

Welcome.

Cheers.

In the Legislative Council, there are 1 64 seats.

Thirteen of us

are from the triads.

Now, what I have to say is this,

we must be united.

We must not have a Judah, betraying each other.

I heard that the government is preparing a 3rd liquidation.

The code name is "Chi-ping".

That's why you are invited.

We need a solution.

May I know where the toilet is?

Last month you earned 87 million.

Which is 1 7 million more than the previous month.

You are to be complimented.

That's because Madam Chau and Mr. Chau decided

to join our Board of Directors.

It brought great. . .

...Fung-shui to our villa.

Really?

Mr. Chau rises so rapidly,

it's just like he is sitting in a helicopter.

That's because he bought a helicopter.

We treat the government as our buddy.

We are most obliging to their needs.

Anything they want, we provide money, manpower.

But, once he thinks you are useless or gets in their way,

he will get rid of you.

"First Liquidation" and "Second Liquidation", an iron fisted campaign.

no judiciary process, instant arrest and jail sentence.

Quite a few of us here, including me,

were imprisoned.

Tough life, huh?

As our master Tao Yu-sang said,

the government treats you as a night pot.

When it's no longer useful, they think you stink.

they will just throw you under the bed.

During the first and the second liquidation,

none of our buddies were legislative councilors.

Now, among the 1 64 seats,

we occupy 1 0%.

And over half of the rest are closely associated with us.

They include local representives, Mayors, etc,

many are gangsters.

We have over 2 million gangsters in Taiwan.

May I ask a question.

Can you tell me whether the 1 3 legislative councilors here....

are politicians or triads?

They've become one.

When wiseguys become politicians,

after the process of white wash.

From black to white.

What exactly have we become?

I said, we are neither.

We are a hybrid.

So, why don't we organize all our buddies all over the country,

dissolve all the gangs,

and form a new party.

I guarantee that,

we will become the biggest party within three years,

we can easily be the ruling party.

We can have our meetings in the President House.

We dont need to act stealthily.

We can hold our heads up.

Let's go to Lu-tao by helicopter,

and turn the place into a golf course.

Let's go play golf.

Yeah, play golf in Lu-tao.

Good speech!

Last month, we're supposed to make a deposit into a bank account

held by Mrs Hau's distant relative, a Mr. Leung.

The sum was 3.2 million dollars.

The man claimed he only received 1 million.

The signed receipt should be with you,

I hope you can check it for me.

So I can inform Mrs Hau immediately.

Alright, please wait.

Thank you.

Ling Fei, I would like to employ the influence of the press.

Master Sung is tying his shoe laces at location 1 8, on the 2nd floor,

something's wrong.

Arrest them.

The master is missing.

Run.

Call our people from Tao-yuen, Sin-yuk, Nam-han and Tai-yuen,

instruct them to stop those guys.

I'll be there in three minutes.

This way...

Run!

It's too late, the press has arrived.

What?

Excuse me.

How do you find me here?

The boss knows everything.

Do you have a solution?

What do you think?

I can go very high with my offer.

How high?

Sky high.

Are you willing to leave Taiwan?

Yes, but I wish to come back at some point.

The Boss has a similar idea.

Actually, you don't even need to leave Taiwan.

Just live in Benefaction Villa.

Never to come out again.

Damn it.

re you in a hurry?

Would you like me to give you a lift?

Brother. . .

Can we talk about it?

What do you think?

Now that we are in the air.

Can your offer go sky high?

"Resignation"

Any news on Chau Chiu-sen?

This is Ling Fai reporting live.

We are following Legislative Councilor Chau on his escape route.

Chau is being escorted

by over 30 vehicles.

The entourage is travelling on Jie Tung Highway heading south.

Watch out, there are journalists ahead.

San-pao, what is that strange noise?

Go for him.

Get him.

San Pao!

Heung.

Chau Chiu-sen.

Go!

The biggest scandal since Taiwan

entered the age of democracy has just erupted.

Legislative Councilor Chau has been found guilty.

Capital punishment has been imposed.

Master Sung Miu-tin, who turned witness for the plaintiff,

also the Minister Sun

were both convicted...

and are given jail terms on Lu-tao Prison.

This case has sparked off an avalanche of scandals,

a lot of senior government officials has fled the country.

The chief inspector Fong Kuo-fei

and Minister of the Legal Department,

have both resigned under immense pressure from society at large.
