Original subtitles

You're late!

We've been waiting all morning!

Give them a hand.

This is outrageous!

You call this on time?

What time is it?

You're very late!

Keep it down!

Don't let the neighbors hear us.

After you pay them, tell them to leave at once. Tell them to take a detour.

Don't let anyone see them.

Yes, sir!

Can you talk any faster?

There!

Thanks, mom!

Good girl!

Which one is better?

Which one should I pick?

Which one is better?

This one.

- This one? - You can't go wrong.

Come downstairs when you're done.

Tim!

Tim!

Get up!

Come on...

Tim!

Tim!

Tim!

In 15 minutes

we're doing the rehearsal downstairs.

Sherry's engagement party is none of my business.

Why should I be in the rehearsal?

We're entertaining local dignitaries tonight.

And you're our eldest son,

I don't want any embarrassments.

You have 14 minutes and 20 seconds.

Butler!

Don't stand behind me!

How many times did I tell you?

This one over there.

That one over here.

This one goes here.

That one goes there.

I know.

- Then do it! - Yes, sir!

Hurry up!

Be careful!

It costs a fortune to rent everything.

Be careful!

- Mrs. kau! - Is everything here?

Yes!

Honey!

- Be careful! - Darling!

We're almost ready.

Watch it!

Bloody hell!

Calm down!

Don't be so uptight!

Tonight is very important!

I'll say this again.

Don't...

Let anyone know we're broke.

Don't let anyone know we went bankrupt.

Don't let anyone know

we're not well matched.

No... only they know...

No... they don't know what we know.

I know.

Stop standing behind me!

- Go away! - I know.

Where's the painting?

Take it down!

Hang this up!

Perfect!

No... it's askew.

Why hang it so low?

Bring it up higher!

What's the fuss?

Tim!

Give us a hand.

With what?

I haven't had breakfast.

I don't have strength.

You haven't eaten?

Just kidding.

I already ate.

Then go for a walk.

I want to sleep.

What are you doing?

What's with the new furniture?

They're for you.

So your engagement party will be more presentable.

Exactly! Is this nice?

Am I pretty or what?

Of course you are!

Everyone says you take after me. How can you not be pretty?

She takes after me.

You have a guest!

Hello, master Johnny!

They're epecing you.

- Hello, dad! - Hello!

There you are, Johnny!

You have such good upbringing!

It's worth introducing you to my lovely daughter Sherry.

We're both relieved to hand her over to you.

Baby!

Am I pretty or what?

Mom helped me with the makeup.

The color brought out your big eyes perfectly!

Mom is awesome.

Allow me to brag,

I can work miracles with the ugliest woman,

let alone someone pretty like my darling Sherry.

You're quite attentive yourself.

You bought a 18-carat engagement ring,

I'm sure the wedding ring would be even bigger.

Marriage is not about money.

It's about 2 people who truly love each other.

Go eat shit! You still need to eat even if you're in love.

Honey!

Don't argue with him on this happy occasion.

Right!

We need teamwork today.

Honey!

You'll start with a speech

that will move the guests to tears.

Don't worry! They'll all be like going to their fathers' funerals.

Damn!

Darling!

You'll lead the dance with Johnny.

Make sure everyone is thrilled to death!

Ok! No problem!

Tim!

You don't need to do anything.

Just stand there and smile.

Make the guests feel right at home.

The rich don't need me.

Then treat them like the poor.

I don't know how to talk to the poor.

Shut up or I won't throw you a party when you get married.

Fine... treat everyone like they're transparent.

Just make sure you smile.

Butler!

Yes?

We're entertaining local dignitaries tonight.

Here's the guest list.

Remind him, if he forgets.

Yes!

I'll look after the socialites and the ladies.

We must make our party the talk of the town.

Yes, mom!

We only have 4 hours left!

Darling!

Let's go upstairs to change and fix your hair,

or else by the time you're done,

I won't have time to get ready.

- Come on... - Bye, baby!

Johnny, let's go in.

After youl!

Women...

Can be such a pain.

They need...

Men are different.

One suit...

For several years.

That's right!

When is your brother coming?

Thanks!

He's detained in the factory.

He'll be a bit late.

Director kei

is the best.

Such a young man

running such a big factory

and has such a brilliant brother like you.

When Sherry marries you,

you'll become my son.

My business...

Will someday be yours.

Cheers!

You flatter me, dad!

Tim can help you too.

Him?

Except with eating, what kind of help has he been?

Now, you're different.

You're tall and handsome

just like me.

If we work together,

we're the dream team.

You have a guest!

- You have a guest! - Who is it? Who is here?

Sir,

a police officer is outside and wishes to see you.

Park the car properly.

Give him 2 cans of abalone and get rid of him.

No!

He insisted on seeing you.

Me?

Unless he's the commissioner!

Outrageous!

Outrageous!

Outrageous!

Kau ming!

Kau ming!

Outrageous!

Kau ming!

You...

Want to see me?

I'm a senior inspector of the crime wing

I'm inspector Karl.

Hello, inspector!

Do you know who I am?

I almost became a justice of peace.

I helped support cops like you

with the taxes I paid.

A criminal case is none of my damn business.

How do you know? I didn't even say what this is about.

You have a guilty conscience?

2 hours ago,

a young girl killed herself at home.

She was dead on arrival at the hospital.

One body, two lives.

Suicide?

That's none of my damn business!

She drank a lot of disinfectant.

A lot of it...

That corroded her insides.

What?

That's none of my damn business!

She died of corroded organs!

You can imagine before she died

how painful that must have been.

You can also imagine how determined she was.

Painful?

That's none of my damn business!

Her name

Cindy

cheung!

Never heard of her!

Even if I had, I don't know her.

Even if I knew her, I don't remember her.

Let's take a look at her picture!

We'll see if it's any of your damn business!

Damn!

In her flat,

I found this

Diary,

which spelled out her painful past

and the reason she killed herself.

Her death

is intricately related to you.

Dad!

Are you ok?

I'm fine!

I remember

she

was a worker at my factory.

2 years ago,

I personally fired her.

That was 2 years ago!

Her suicide is none of my damn business.

Whether or not it's none of your damn business

is not for you to say.

What happened before

will affect what happens afterwards.

What happens afterwards

will affect what happens after afterwards

and many more afterwards after that

and so on and so forth.

Everything you have done

was intricately related to her.

What you're saying

is that because I fire so many people

I have become

serial

killer!

Kau ming!

So many people work for you

why is it

you remember her so well?

Because

she

pissed

me

Off!

My

Ming heart products

are the best products.

I'm counting

on

The skills of my staff.

They have

good skills

because

we have good working environment.

We have good working environment,

because

they have a good boss.

Everyone

is happy

like one big family.

But

even under such a

good working environment,

someone is still not happy.

Someone looking for trouble...

We want a raise...

Minimum wage

is the consent we have reached with the government

as the most reasonable wage.

How much is the minimum wage now?

- $30! - Exactly!

I'm paying them $30

as good faith.

Don't play me like a fool

and ask for a raise

and ot.

Because you're too slow

that's why you need to work ot.

Turning on the lights at night

add up the costs.

That's part of my overhead.

How can they expect me to pay more?

Is that fair to me?

Because of higher costs

and the company goes out of business,

who will eventually suffer?

The workers.

Where else can you find

another factory of this scale?

One that can support thousands of workers?

Losers!

If you're not happy,

get out!

I won't ask you to stay.

Don't try to bargain with me!

Boss!

If they go on strike,

we can't deliver the goods on time.

The customers will complain

and the factory will suffer heavy losses.

How much is the factory next door paying?

$35!

See?

We pay $30 and people are willing to stay.

That means we're better.

How about...

I pay them $31.

You're so considerate!

This girl...

Who is she?

Her name is Cindy cheung.

She's very hard working

and a fast worker.

She's quite popular

that's why the workers nominated her as the representative.

Good!

- Fire her! - Boss!

Kill one as the warning to all others!

Wise decision!

You admit

for one lousy dollar,

you fired an innocent girl?

Innocent?

I'm innocent.

Do you realize there are thousands of workers?

If everyone gets an extra dollar how much more money I'm paying?

If everyone gets $1.

Thousands of workers mean thousands of dollars!

10 hours a day... That's 10 times thousands of dollars.

6 days a week...

That's 6 times 10 times thousands of dollars.

In a month, that's 4 times 6 times 10 times thousands of dollars.

In a year,

that's 12 times 4 times 6 times 10 times thousands of dollars.

That adds up to...

I don't know how much!

Forget it! Inspector Karl,

I haven't had a raise in my allowance for 12 years.

I agree with dad.

He's a businessman.

The key is to control cost.

I support what he did.

Well said!

You admit

in order to control costs

you scarred the life of this young girl for good?

Don't try to pin it on me!

All I know is that

she was alive and kicking when she left.

And I haven't seen her since.

That's all I have to say to you!

Butler! Walk him out!

Good riddance!

You might have nothing more to say,

but the others have yet to begin.

Baby!

Do you like my dress?

We have a guest already?

Good! I'm glad you're here.

Darling, this does not concern you. Go back upstairs.

I'm senior inspector Karl.

2 hours and 20 minutes ago,

a young girl killed herself at home.

She was dead on arrival at the hospital.

One body,

two lives!

Don't scare my daughter!

- Don't scare my sister! - Leave my fiancé alone!

Who is he?

What's going on?

I should be asking you.

I know her?

Cindy cheung was a worker at my factory.

You don't know her.

I don't know any Cindy cheung.

But according to the deceased's diary.

Sorry...

It fell behind my butt!

According to her diary,

after your father fired her,

she didn't want people to know she led the strike at the factory.

She changed her name

and used a new identity

to work at a brand label store called famous store.

Famous store? I go there all the time!

The sales at famous store are of high caliber.

Her pay and prospects should be quite good.

Yes!

She had a bright future

until she met a spoiled Princess

who made her hit rock bottom in her life.

Her name

is mavis.

- Baby! - Darling!

- Stay where you are! - Sis!

Sit down!

Sit down!

I probably have nothing to do with it.

It has nothing to do with me.

It's not my fault.

Inspector!

The picture...

Can I take a look?

No!

My father-in-law and fiancé have seen it,

why can't I see it?

You want to see it?

Of course! Why else would I ask?

When it's your turn,

I'll show it to you.

I'd like to know,

if the girl killed herself because of me.

Yes

and no.

All in all,

like your father,

you're one of the reason she killed herself.

Sis! What have you done?

I hope it's not over $1.

I told the store manager

if he won't fire her,

I'll never shop in the store again.

Why?

Miss kau!

So happy to see you again!

Come wait on miss kau.

Feel free to look around.

Want something to drink?

No, thanks!

Miss kau! We have new arrival,

please take a look.

Take your time.

This is gorgeous!

Absolutely!

You have such good taste!

I'll keep this for you.

- Mavis! - Yes?

Where is the one you showed me over there?

This one?

Yes!

I'll keep this for you.

That's so pompous!

Don't you think it'll look good on me?

Definitely!

This is also new.

I'll keep this for you.

I'll look gorgeous in this!

I'll keep this for you.

- I want to look at that one too. - No problem!

- This is nice too. - What about this one?

It's silver! I have never bought anything like this.

- It's pretty! - Yes,

this is the latest fashion.

I'll keep this for you.

That's all!

Great!

Mavis! Put them on for miss kau.

Sure!

Meryl street bought one too.

This is so pretty!

Oh my god! It's gorgeous!

I want to try this one!

Let me help you.

I'm afraid it won't fit.

Miss kau! The dress is inside.

If you need any help, please let us know.

You were awesome!

She really likes the one you had on.

Really?

It doesn't fit!

What did I tell you?

If she buys them all,

we'd have met our quota.

That would be great!

We can go to Korea!

Somehow

I get a feeling she was making fun of me.

I was furious!

- Manager! - Coming!

What is it, miss kau!

Fire that girl!

She's laughing at me.

It's total disrespect.

Perhaps there's some misunderstanding.

None whatsoever!

So what if she can carry the dress?

If you don't fire her,

my mom and her friends

and all my aunties

will never come into this shop again.

Oh no!

Oki

mavis!

Were you laughing just now?

Yes! But we were talking about...

Good!

You're fired!

You were jealous

of her figure.

You used your family's clout and money

to bully a helpless girl.

What you did

was no different from your father.

Damn!

I terminated a worker,

don't make it sound so complicated.

No, daddy!

I actually regretted it.

I thought about making it up to her.

But I didn't think she wanted my help.

Besides, she's so pretty

and polite,

finding another job should not be too hard.

So I left it alone.

She found another job,

but it wasn't a good job.

She became a hostess at a night club,

under the alias

snow.

Mr. keil

it's now your turn!

You won't let me see it before,

now I'm not interested.

You must take a look.

I will not!

My boy,

I didn't know you're interested in hookers.

Dirty!

- She's not a hooker! - Dirty!

She sells her craft, not her body.

What's your relationship with her?

Speak up!

Don't say a word!

Darling! Calm down!

No! My heart can't take this.

I need my medication upstairs.

Don't say a word!

Go inside for a drink.

Give him something to shut him up.

Don't say a word!

I'm going upstairs. Wait for me!

Not a word... not even if he puts a gun to your head.

Dirty!

Honey!

Honey!

We're in trouble!

Honey!

It's a big deal!

Nothing is a bigger deal than your daughter's engagement!

I'm worried they won't get married.

What are you talking about?

Spit it out!

There's a cop downstairs.

He said some chick killed herself.

I fired her.

Sherry framed her.

Johnny picked her up in a night club.

She had different identities

but it was the same chick.

What chick? What about her?

Will you try to make sense?

Honey!

Someone

wants to break up

our family.

While I'm around,

no one messes with me in my house!

What the hell?

You know damn well how important this party is!

Darling!

I forbid you to cry!

See? Your makeup is running!

Johnny! I forbid you to drink anymore.

How can you show your face when you're drunk?

Are you inspector Karl?

Mrs. anson kau!

Your reputation precedes you!

Excuse me! I don't know who you are,

I only know we don't have time for this.

Let's call it a day, shall we?

Please leave!

I'm afraid you're mistaken.

I'm here on an investigation

regarding a girl's suicide.

Before I get to the bottom of it,

I will not leave!

I think you're mistaken.

If you think my husband and I

or my children are guilty.

Go ahead and arrest us.

It seems to me

you're asking us to assist you in an investigation,

whether or not we assist you is up to us.

You don't seem to have a search warrant

or a warrant for our arrest.

Today is really not a good day for this.

Hey! Did you make up your mind?

What's your relationship with the girl? Speak up!

Hey! You're very rude!

What do you mean?

What kind of a man are you?

You don't have the guts to admit it?

Don't impose yourself on us!

Fine! Honey! Call superintendent ho.

Let me ask him how he trains his men.

Go ahead!

You're the one who has something to hide.

You'll only make a fool of yourself.

Mom!

Let him talk!

I want to know too!

Who is she?

What does she have that I don't?

Darling!

Something like that is best left unsaid.

It'll affect you

and there's no turning back.

Sis! I'm behind you all the way!

You can't run from it.

Return the 18-carat ring.

- Brat! - Give it back to him!

Never try to break someone up!

I ought to hit you!

No, you won't!

Sorry!

That's enough!

I feel the need to explain everything.

Johnny! Don't be scared!

Mrs. kau!

Please shut up!

You're obstructing a police officer.

What's there to explain?

You went to a hooker.

No!

A hostess.

No!

Snow is a nice girl.

That night was her first night on the job,

and also my first visit to a night club.

"Clients"

today is my birthday.

We must have a blast.

I ordered a lot of pretty ladies,

to make sure everyone has a good time

and won't feel left alone!

The girls here

are so pretty

and they can drink

and play games.

They can drink anyone

under the table by 3 o'clock.

With girls like that,

we're out of luck.

Like always,

we drink with them.

You'll soon be dead from drinking.

I don't get drunk!

Each time

it costs me several hundred thousands.

We let them drink

want us fuddle in 3 o'clock?

I guarantee they won't last till 3 o'clock.

Kid! Stop reading!

Come here!

I know this is your first time.

Don't worry!

Don't worry!

They're just women!

In a minute,

I'll let you pick first.

You can go first! We're doing you a favor!

No thanks, uncle!

You know I have a girlfriend.

You should have a good time.

Your girlfriend

is not your wife.

Let me give you some advice.

Before you're married,

you're just having fun.

After you're married, you're screwing around.

It's not a crime to have some fun.

It only makes you an asshole!

But it's still not a crime.

Maybe you feel a little guilty,

that's why before you tie the knot,

have as much fun as you like

so you won't regret it after you got married.

That's right!

I got word...

They have a new girl

who sells her craft and not her body.

She's fresh!

Who wants her craft?

What kind of fun is that?

In this world,

there's no such thing as a "no".

If she refuses,

tempt her with money.

If money won't do,

use violence.

If that won't do either,

use drugs.

Whatever works.

In the end, it's all about money

which I happen to have a lot.

Cheers!

At that moment, I see a bunch of lechers.

What they said made me very uncomfortable.

Uncle, enjoy yourself.

I have things to do. I better go.

What? You're leaving?

The girls are not here yet!

Gentlemen,

I'm sorry

we're late!

I'll drain 3 glasses as my punishment!

There you are!

Stand in line!

Give me a kiss!

Snow!

Come forward!

Snow?

Yes! She's new!

I have never met a girl... like her.

She has the body of the devil

and the face of an angel.

But what attracted me the most

was her smile.

It's warm

like basking in the sun.

Come here!

Right there and then,

I saw a girl who didn't belong in that place,

being toyed with by these perverts.

I felt awful

uncle

and that I had an obligation to save her.

I want her!

Hey! It's my birthday!

You can't fight me!

You said I could take the first pick!

Saving her gave me such a sense of achievement.

I feel like the hero in a fairy tale.

When I found out about her tragic past

I wanted to protect her.

I want to give her the best.

She's so perfect,

she doesn't deserve such inhuman treatment.

I let her live well,

eat well

sleep well and dress well.

I gave her the best.

But we never had sex.

I tried my best to satisfy her needs.

Because

I like to see her smile.

Whenever I see her smile,

I feel very happy.

Maybe because she's prettiest when she's happy.

That's why I want to see her happy.

I have not forgotten

I have a steady girlfriend.

But at that moment, I couldn't help myself.

Snow...

Snow...

How can you do this to me?

How can you hold me in your arms and think of someone else?

It's not like that.

With her, I acted on an impulse.

We were together for less than 2 weeks.

When I went back to see her

she was gone.

Sherry!

I know I was wrong

but you're the one I love,

not her.

Have you already decided to keep from me forever?

Sis!

Don't marry someone who lies to you.

Call off the engagement.

You have my vote! Forget about mom and dad.

Don't listen to him!

Daddy is a man, so I know.

As long as he doesn't love the woman.

Without love,

she's no different from a bag lady on the street!

When he wakes up the next morning, he won't remember.

Not to mention she works in a night club.

That means she's cheap

and calculating.

Johnny lacks experience in life,

that's why he fell for her tricks.

You should forgive him.

She's not as bad as you made her out to be.

He thinks he's the hero saving the damsel in distress.

The girl thinks she's a Princess

when in fact she's the other woman.

Who's being tricked here?

The girl knows you have a girlfriend,

she'd rather leave you

than come between you.

You're the reason

she hits rock bottom once again.

And you!

Before you start blaming someone else,

think about what you have done.

If you didn't get her fired,

she wouldn't become a hostess.

Then she would not have met your fiancée.

That's why I said earlier.

What happened before

will affect what happens afterwards.

What happens afterwards

will affect what happens after afterwards

- and many more afterwards after that. - That's enough!

I don't care what happened before and after.

I only know the guests will be arriving

and the party must go on.

- Honey! - Yes?

- Take them upstairs! - Good!

Lock yourselves in the room

and sort things out.

Come on...

Inspector!

No one has time for you.

You're not invited to this party,

I'd like you to leave right away.

I'm waiting for someone.

You have a guest!

Auntie! Uncle!

I'm here!

Tim! Keep an eye on this fellow!

Don't let him wander around!

Hello, miss kwok!

Auntie!

Yvonne!

I heard you were in France!

I came back just for this.

Such a good girl!

Go lie down upstairs.

After tonight's party,

I'm flying back to France tomorrow.

My friends are still waiting for me.

You certainly know how to enjoy life.

Let's talk upstairs.

Let's go upstairs!

I bought lots of presents

for Tim.

- Tim! - I must thank you for him.

Don't talk me just yet.

I'm keeping an eye on him for mom!

Your new friend? I haven't seen him before.

No!

He's a very ordinary friend.

Yvonne kwok!

Yes?

Yvonne kwok,

daughter of the owner of international finance corporation.

You're also this beggar's girlfriend.

In their eyes,

you're classy.

But to me

I have a different interpretation.

I don't judge by status,

I look at the personality.

You're nowhere near classy.

Who are you?

Senior inspector Karl.

3 hours ago,

a young girl killed herself at home.

She was dead on arrival at the hospital.

One body, two lives.

Now I need you to assist me in an investigation.

Great!

Assist you in an investigation?

That sounds like fun.

How would you like me to assist you?

Just name it.

If everyone can be more like you,

I would have saved a lot of breath!

Now I'm thirsty from talking.

According to the deceased's...

Never mind...

It's written in her diary,

she went to work for a rich 2g

as a personal assistant.

Yes!

I know her! I know her!

- Hey! You bloody cop! - That's enough, that's enough!

Leave my guests alone!

That's my assistant Alice.

Then the rich 2g

must be me.

Rich and spoiled!

What have you done

to make her kill herself?

What?

A year ago, I already fired her.

It's none of my business! Yes!

Whether or not it's any of your business is not up to you.

Hey...

- Step aside! - Don't push my wife!

You better tell me

everything you know about her.

Fine!

- Don't! - Don't do it!

- Tell him! - I want to!

Please let me.

I'll tell you.

That day...

So nice!

The shoes came out yesterday.

You already bought them!

We must think alike!

Right!

We must...

Step aside!

Step aside!

Yvonne!

Alice,

I want you to bring all the shoes I bought today, now!

Did you hear me?

Hurry!

You're quite agile!

As a super waiter,

the key is to hang onto the tray.

Otherwise, in a place like this,

it's easy to break something.

Really?

Good!

You don't want it?

I'll take it away.

Says who?

Sit down and play with us.

You want me to stay?

That'll depend on how good you are!

Your shoes, miss kwok!

I brought your shoes, miss kwok.

Excuse me...

Excuse me...

Sorry!

I brought your shoes, miss kwok.

This one?

This one?

Alright! I'll wear this one.

Hurry!

Hold it!

What time was it?

After 2 o'clock at night.

Because you clashed your shoes with someone else,

you asked your assistant to bring you shoes in the middle of the night?

Yes!

Whenever I clash with someone

I'll get very upset,

and I must change into something else.

One should go out for a good time,

right?

You expect me to agree with you?

Yes!

Take everything off!

Then you won't clash with anyone.

What do you mean?

Brat!

Is this how you treat your girlfriend?

Where are your manners?

You're after her family's business that's why you want me to marry her.

Tim! Don't fight!

Inspector!

What's wrong with giving orders to an assistant?

Exactly! I paid her to do her job!

Changing shoes can't possibly be

connected to her suicide.

It's not your turn yet!

What happened afterwards?

Carry on!

Afterwards?

Drink!

Open your mouth!

Sorry!

I'm no...

Ho good!

I don't understand!

I said

if you laugh again,

I'll hit you.

Don't hit me!

Creep! Quit staring!

I didn't mean it!

Then stop gawking!

I'm not!

I'm sorry! I didn't mean it!

I'm ss 0 rry!

You... gawk at my girl?

Your girl?

It was nothing!

- I didn't mean it! I didn't mean to. - Yes, you did!

Don't hit me!

What the hell?

He hit me! Help!

You... what do you want?

You want to fight?

Why did you hit me?

Why did you hit my boyfriend?

Then why did you hit me?

Didn't you see that lecher?

This is fun!

Let's join them.

It was such a mess

it was hilarious!

If she can't drink,

why did you force her?

Precisely because she can't drink.

That's the fun part.

If she can drink,

it'd be no fun at all.

Then why did you fire her?

She had alcohol poisoning

and was in the hospital for 2 months.

I need someone to wait on me,

if she can't do it,

I had to get someone else.

Because she was sick,

you fired her?

Don't you have a heart?

She did her job well,

but your mischief

caused her mental and physical sufferings!

Hey!

I took care of her!

I paid her medical bills.

Are you out of your mind?

You fired her when she was sick.

That's mean!

Why did you say that about me?

Having fun is not a crime.

I came all the way from France

because I missed you.

I didn't come here for you to scold me.

Please! The two of you

should not argue.

Right! It's not good to argue!

You should fight!

Come on!

Great!

Sounds like fun!

Come on!

Hit me!

You don't scare me!

Tim! “What?

This is fun!

Tim!

Sis!

Are you sure about this?

I am.

I make mistakes all the time

and he always forgives me.

I have decided

it's time I forgive him for something.

Thank god!

Love means forbearance.

That's right! Marriage is about lying and cheating.

Lie whenever you can. Lie even when you can't get away with it.

Otherwise, start cheating.

Help me up!

Why should 1?

I don't love you.

You don't?

What happened to your love?

That's enough!

Leave my family alone!

All you have done so far

is to prove they have met that girl briefly

and something petty happened

that might have a teeny bit of impact on her emotionally.

You have no proof

they're directly connected to her death.

So this case is none of our business.

Why are you so sure?

Because I have never been wrong.

You're the chairman of the women's aid association,

what makes you qualified for the job?

Popularity, status,

keen observation, and good analytical power.

Everyone trusts me

and I personally review every case.

According to the deceased's diary,

Sorry...

Can you help me... get the diary from the back?

Thanks!

According to the deceased's diary,

Alice changed her name

to may cheung

do you know her?

With an ordinary name like that,

if you drop a sign board, you're likely to hit a dozen.

Honey, you're in this too?

That's crazy!

- I don't even know her! - That's true!

Wait, mom!

I thought I didn't know her either,

but then I realized we're connected.

I'd shut up if I were you.

You're likely to incriminate yourself.

You have no confidence in me?

Confidence?

Let's take a look at her picture.

Never seen her before in my life.

No?

2 months ago,

when she was pregnant,

she went to you for help.

Oh, that may cheung!

Hey...

That doesn't mean I did anything wrong.

I have a clear conscience.

A clear conscience?

Why don't you tell us about it?

I really don't know her.

What's there to say? Come on!

Tell us!

I've been using this slimming patch

for 7 days

and got rid of 7 inches from my belly.

You don't need to lose weight.

Chubby is good on you.

My husband said it's more huggable.

She's fat! “What?

Maybe a little.

I told my husband,

he's lucky at least I look presentable.

He shouldn't complain about my belly.

Pong!

That's why I always say

a woman must love herself.

Speak with conviction

and work with capability.

Never change yourself to accommodate a man!

Good point!

- Good! - That's amazing!

You're so smart, Mrs. kau.

Look at her...

She gets along so well with her husband.

He has the money,

she has the clout.

No wonder you're the chairman.

There's more...

She's so capable,

she can do our jobs as well.

That's why we have time to play mahjong.

That's right...

Allow me to brag,

either I don't do something,

once I choose to do it, I'll do my best.

Anything related to the women's aid association

you can count on me.

Thanks!

Let me tell you,

the association

used to have so many women come to us for help,

people who didn't know better,

would think all the men were dead.

That's because we have such a kind heart

and helped everyone who came to us.

No wonder we're always busy.

No matter what you do,

you must have one driving principle.

The aim of the women's aid association

is to help those in need.

If you're worried you're a sucker, or you'll be too easily touched,

don't look them in the eyes.

Stick to our principle and you'll do no wrong.

Gong!

That's amazing!

You have 3 red dragons!

Game!

You won!

I'll pay for it...

Mrs. kau!

Mrs. kau!

Help, Mrs. kaul!

Mrs. kau!

Mrs. kau!

Someone came for urgent assistance!

Set up the next game.

- I'll be right back! - Ok.

No rush! Take your time.

We'll wait!

How should we calculate this hand?

Please have a seat.

Miss cheung,

according to your application,

you wish to apply for a Grant with the association

to cover the baby's living expenses

so the baby can grow up properly

and won't go hungry, right?

Yes!

I really need your help.

Please answer the following questions.

1...

Do you know who the father is?

Yes!

2...

Do you know

if the father is dead?

Not yet!

3...

Do you know

where he is?

Yes!

Miss cheung,

you answered all 3 questions

that means you can find the baby's father

and hold him responsible for the baby.

I can't do that!

It's the parents' job to raise their children.

If the mother can't,

the father should try harder.

There's no such thing as you can't.

I can't do that! I don't want to get him in trouble.

Miss cheung,

you're encouraging this man to abandon his wife and child.

If I approve your application,

more people will come to us for help.

Listen to me,

even if the baby's father won't help you,

his family should be held responsible

and not our association.

You have my deepest sympathy

but we can't help you.

I beg you,

please help me.

Don't cry!

Spare me your tears.

Save them for your husband,

for his father,

for his mother,

and his whole family.

Good luck!

"Rejected"

I did everything I could.

I have done nothing wrong.

I also have no regrets,

nor do I need anyone's acknowledgement.

You're proud and arrogant

but stupid.

You claim to help others

but you never bothered to understand them.

You take things for their face value,

and believe what you think is true.

The girl killed herself because of you!

How can you say it's none of your business?

She got knocked up

because she was stupid.

The man was irresponsible

because he was a creep.

His family didn't care whether the baby lives or dies

because they're cold blooded.

How is that my fault?

What have I done wrong?

I only want to save the money

for someone who really needs help.

How kind of you!

What have you done wrong?

If you knew her better,

you would have known her other name.

And you wouldn't be so proud of yourself!

Why should I bother

to find out?

It's not funny at all!

If you knew the girl's previous name,

you wouldn't be laughing.

Her name

was

Jean

wong.

- Tim! - What is it, son?

You're scaring me!

May cheung is Jean wong?

Yes!

Don't pass out yet!

No way!

No way!

May cheung can't be Jean wong!

She can't be Jean wong!

She's not Jean wong.

I practice yoga everyday

so no one can bully me.

You killed an innocent girl!

You had the guts to do it

but won't admit it?

Leave me alone!

I don't know anything.

I don't want to know.

I didn't hurt her.

I would never hurt her!

You didn't?

Why else are you doing yoga?

She's the love of my life.

Why would I hurt her?

You love her?

You have done nothing for her!

In what way do you love her?

I have!

Don't push me!

Don't pressure me! I'll kill myself!

I'll suffocate!

I'll suffocate!

I'll suffocate!

I'll suffocate!

We were...

So happy together.

But for some reason

she disappeared suddenly.

I don't know why

she killed herself either.

I really don't know.

You don't know?

How much do you love her?

Jean wong?

I love her with all my heart!

Our meeting was predestined.

In this whole wide world

among billions of people,

I chose her.

Boss,

we run a proper business.

No smoking!

And don't swear!

Who's your favorite?

It's my first time here.

Pick one for me!

Damn!

You should pick one!

Chinese, British, American, French, Japanese, thai, Korean,

philippino, Russian and Indonesian,

what will it be?

I wish my parents were like you.

I want someone traditional.

Chinese!

Any special requests?

Someone cute...

And hard working.

88 is perfect for you.

Set a, set b or the whole nine yards?

How about a la carte?

Damn!

Get the whole nine yards of course!

You'll get everything!

You're so stupid!

Very well! Hurry!

Oki

any special service?

Like what?

Fire and ice?

It can improve your circulation,

and your self-detox system.

I don't want anything dangerous.

It's better to be safe.

Then get a double!

One on the left, one on the right.

You'll go a thousand miles...

It's so satisfying!

Hey pal,

I could have done it to myself if you keep talking!

Damn!

Don't swear, I'm paying you.

Why don't you pay me instead?

Sir!

I'm Jean wong, no. 88.

You want to let off some steam?

In her eyes,

I found myself.

It was so comfortable,

so soothing,

so natural.

You're awesome!

Her technique is so special

I feel totally relaxed.

That's why I always ask for her whenever I go back.

We started to talk.

Maybe we have very similar values

we both want to be normal

and live a simple life.

Soon, we were together.

She lived in a divided flat

that was smaller than my closet.

But the size of her flat didn't affect us.

Because with her next to me,

I was happy no matter what I did.

You're so strong!

When I was with her,

I felt no pressure.

I didn't need to wear a mask

and didn't care what people thought of me.

I could be myself.

And be

normal

person.

She worked very hard

for so little money

we could barely support ourselves.

When I saw how hard she worked,

I decided I must do something.

I wanted to help her.

Stop the car!

You...

Brat! You never come to work,

now you came to steal from me?

You can't spend it all.

I'll kill you!

No, daddy!

No!

Daddy! No!

- Don't come after me! - Brat! Come back!

Stop!

Help me stop him!

Go to hell!

Catch him!

What you meant by helping her

was to steal from your father?

I'm not stealing,

his safe is getting crowded.

I call it advancing my pocket money!

Brat!

You stole from me to subsidize your girl?

Money is very important to me.

It's not your money, obviously you don't care.

You better pay me back with interest.

Be quiet! Honey

let him finish.

Was I too loud?

You said you want to be a normal person,

is stealing normal?

Yes!

It's not normal,

but at least we were happy.

Flowers!

A lot of flowers!

Look at the flowers...

- Look at the flowers... - They're pretty!

Look at the flowers...

The time I spent with her

was the happiest days of my life.

Just when we were so blissfully happy...

Jean?

Jean?

She disappeared without a trace.

1, 2, 3...

Leaving me behind by myself.

1, 2, 3...

I couldn't find her.

Jean?

I didn't know where she was.

Jean?

Jean?

Jean!

I missed her.

Why did she leave?

Why did she leave?

She didn't take the money?

She must be stupid!

What kind of people do you hang out with?

Don't say that, honey!

He's still young

and too gullible.

A fall in the pit, a gain in your wit.

He's young?

Auntie!

What do you mean by that?

He said he was happy with that girl,

where does that leave me?

Tell me!

Am I the mose unhappy one now?

Don't be upset!

Don't worry!

His so-called happiness is only an illusion.

Like me,

he'll wake up.

We all know Tim is simple minded.

Please forgive him.

Alright...

We'll settle this later.

- He's your son! - That's enough!

This is police business!

Shut up!

According to...

According to the deceased's diary...

She found out you stole from your family,

which meant you're rich.

She has been oppressed by the rich all her life,

as her identity,

she knew your family would never accept her.

So as not to put you on the spot,

she chose to leave.

But when she left,

she didn't know she was pregnant.

Why didn't she tell me?

Judging from my appearance

she should know I'm different from the rest of my family.

Why didn't she tell me?

Tell you?

At least she got herself a job.

You only sleep and live off your family.

Have you tried looking for a job?

You're lazy and useless,

you can barely look after yourself.

How can you look after her?

You can't possibly give her any sense of security.

I can change.

Change?

Yes!

You could have found a job,

and she'd stay with you.

But you chose to do the worst thing possible!

You became a thief!

There's no turning back for you.

I don't believe you.

That's not what she wrote.

But...

There's something you don't know.

She really loved youl!

Tim...

Don't be too sad.

Yvonne is the best.

You killed your grandchild.

You all did!

You killed Jean.

You killed Joe.

Excuse me,

who the hell is Joe?

I just named my son!

Joe kau.

You're right!

You all have a hand in killing her.

You were too proud.

You were too self-indulgent.

You were a lecher.

You were jealous.

And you... “What?

You were too lazy.

You were the worst!

You have lousy hair

and you're money hungry.

Each of you

stabbed her with a knife.

No doubt,

the law cannot punish you,

but undoubtedly

each of you

did your part to kill her.

Every one of you

is a killer.

It wasn't my fault!

I didn't know it would come to this.

I didn't mean it.

But...

I think I'm the one

who caused the least injury.

I was lost

we were together for a very short time,

what I have done to her

was only a flesh wound.

Flesh wound?

I helped fix her up.

I sent her to a hospital,

and paid for her medical expenses.

I should have cured her.

I barely cut her.

What auntie did

was murderous.

That's true. Honey!

Mine was the first cut.

The wound have already healed.

Yours... was detrimental.

What's wrong with you?

The most direct and fatal blow

was inflicted by Tim.

That's right!

You...

It should be you!

Ouch!

Why would that hurt?

Sorry!

Tim!

It was wrong to steal.

How could you do it?

Didn't you coax her?

That's what a girl needs.

Yes!

You were a two-timer.

Of course she's unhappy.

I need a DNA paternity test,

to see if I'm really your son.

None of you knew what you have done.

Inspector Karl jumped!

Where is he?

He's gone!

- Where did he go? - Let's go check!

Auntie!

Auntie!

- Nothing! - Mom!

Mom! Not in the garden.

Auntie! Not in the basement.

Honey!

He's nowhere to be found.

He harassed us all day,

how can he just disappear?

What's going on?

Maybe he doesn't have enough proof to arrest us,

that's why he snuck out!

Or maybe he's bringing in back up.

Bring in a patrol car to take us into custody.

Honey!

Better call the lawyer.

Are we going to jail?

I've been wondering...

Has it crossed your mind

he's probably not a real cop?

Good thinking!

How come we didn't think of it?

I think he's probably a nutcase and not a cop.

I barely saw his pass.

Then he disappeared. How stupid!

Stop guessing!

Honey, call superintendent ho.

Ask him about inspector Karl.

Good!

Superintendent ho?

It's kau ming.

Right! I need a small favor...

Within police hq

do you have an inspector Karl?

The name is Karl.

Under criminal investigation?

Yes!

He's tall... dark... ferocious looking.

As if he's

trying to take a dump.

No? No inspector Karl?

Thank you!

Superintendent ho said

there's no inspector Karl.

He's an imposter.

We're fine!

This is bad news.

We know what to expect if he's a real cop.

Now that we're in the open and he's in the dark.

It's hard to take precautions.

He knows so much about us,

this is definitely a conspiracy.

He must be after something.

He wants to blackmail us?

Blackmail is nothing.

I'm more worried about the paparazzi.

Because we're rich and have an upcoming wedding,

these people like to dig up dirt

and start a scandal!

Tthat's right! They always make up stories

and make us out to be scum.

We're in trouble!

I was planning to run for the chairman of cervical cancer prevention society.

With this...

I can kiss it goodbye!

Don't worry!

You said the tabloids make up stories

and print lies.

The diary inspector Karl mentioned

is probably a fake too.

Nobody has read it.

Police

or paparazzi,

I know you killed Joe.

Don't be stupid!

Listen, son!

If the diary is a fake,

the whole thing probably never happened.

Honey!

He sounded like he knew what was going on.

No!

He couldn't have known so much.

He mentioned names and showed you a picture,

and you told him everything.

I was worse.

I didn't even see the picture

and spilled my guts.

Nonsense!

I know you killed Joe.

If the whole thing is a fake,

how could we have killed your...

What's his name?

He obviously framed us.

Just think...

Your father owns such a big factory,

- and must have fired lots of people. - I do that all the time.

I must have rejected

- a lot of cases in the past. - That's right!

An eligible bachelor like Johnny must have attracted lots of women.

Plenty!

He just needs to know a little about us

and pieces everything together

and turns it into a big deal.

A big scoop!

You're right, honey!

One girl, six identities...

And all related to us?

That's too incidental. Is this a movie?

A cny movie?

But we have all done something wrong.

Daddy!

I really got her fired.

I bet it's not the same girl.

We didn't look at the picture together.

In other words, the picture dad saw

may not be the same as the one mom saw.

In other words, it's possible

he showed us 6 different pictures.

Good thinking!

You're so smart!

Right! If all 6 incidents

happened to the same girl,

no doubt it's tragic.

But if

these incidents happened to 6 different girls,

then it's no big deal.

The key is I bet nobody is dead.

We must stop guessing.

Honey, do something!

Kill him? I'll go find a weapon!

Make the call!

Superintendent ho? It's me again.

I'm sorry to trouble you again.

Can you check the hospital authority for me...

The hospital authority is not under your jurisdiction?

Can you still check for me, please?

Within the past 3 hours, did a girl

kill herself by drinking disinfectant and ended up killing her baby too?

Hello?

Yes!

Wrong number.

Hello?

Superintendent ho? Yes!

Thank you!

He said not to bother him again about the hospital authority,

but he checked for us.

Nothing like that happened.

So the whole thing was fabricated?

Yes!

I'll sue whichever tabloid that dared to print a word about it.

That's right!

Good!

Let's forget about the whole mess.

Don't forget you all have a job to do.

We must have the perfect party.

Don't forget to smile!

Smile!

Come on, honey!

Guests are here!

Please mind your step!

Mrs. kau!

Mrs. leung, Mrs. cheung, Mrs. chiu!

Congratulations, Mrs. kau!

- Congratulations. - We should congratulate your daughter!

Thank you!

- Have a drink! - Good!

Forget the drinks! Let's go play a few rounds of mahjong!

- 2 rounds? - 2 rounds!

Good idea! Let's go!

Mom!

This is my daughter.

- Hello, aunties! - Sherry?

Like you, she's very pretty.

No, Mrs. kau is prettier.

Let me introduce you

to my future son-in-law.

Your future son-in-law

is so handsome!

And strong!

You should play mahjong with us.

It's right to get engaged.

Don't get married too early,

you should play around for a few more years.

Why don't you start mahjong without me?

Good idea!

Let's go up!

Ladies, make yourselves at home!

Have fun!

Thank you! You're too kind!

- Put that away! - Enjoy yourself!

- Thank youl! - Enjoy yourself!

Hello, Mr. chan! Enjoy yourself!

You're too kind!

This is huge!

- So nice! - Right!

- Hold this! - Great!

I'll be right back!

Hello!

Sorry, I got the wrong person.

It's ok!

Congratulations, Sherry!

Do I know you?

You're marrying the most eligible bachelor in town.

Everyone knows you now.

You know Johnny?

Not yet,

but I might, after tonight.

Sherry!

You know my girl?

Sherry!

Tell him your name!

Hello, Mr. kei!

I'm sexy!

You bitch!

Contain your sex vibes!

I'm so sorry, Sherry!

My girlfriend can be such a flirt.

I don't mind.

Where are my other girlfriends?

I told you to stay close to me.

Now I'm utterly humiliated!

What is it?

Did you bring all your girlfriends?

Just 19.

Hey...

There's someone you know.

You know one of them?

Watch your mouth!

You must be drunk!

Snow

don't talk about snow.

What's the matter with you?

Quit your act in front of Sherry!

You're such a hypocrite!

I'll expose you...

Snow is over there!

Is she pretty or what?

You know her, baby?

Baby!

I really don't know her.

Explain to her!

I forgot!

Help me to the bathroom! I need to puke!

Baby!

That's scary!

I'm so scared!

It's the same!

I hate it when I clash with someone.

Don't you know how to pick your shoes?

I came all the way from France

to have a good time.

But you're pissing me off!

It's the same!

I hate it when I clash with someone.

I came all the way from France for a good time.

But you're pissing me off!

Why are you imitating me?

Why are you imitating me?

Are you trying to pick a fight?

Are you trying to pick a fight?

This is so irritating!

This is so irritating!

Stop imitating me!

Miss kwok! Your assistant is looking for you.

I didn't call her.

Shoes!

I brought your shoes.

What shoes?

When did I tell you to bring me shoes?

You always change shoes at a party.

This time I'm ahead of you.

I brought them over early.

So you won't need to call me late at night.

You should know that.

You're my assistant,

obviously you had to carry my shoes.

I know.

That's why I brought them over now.

Are you changing them or not?

Don't call me tonight, ok?

I couldn't go back to sleep after you woke me up.

I don't need them.

No?

Everything I do is perfect.

That's why I'm always busy.

Did you see a pregnant woman?

- Jean? - What pregnant woman?

- Mom! - Tim!

Did you see Jean?

A pregnant woman pumped into me just now.

She missed me!

She came to see me.

Tim! You sound like you have seen a ghost.

Jean!

- Sorry! - Jean!

Tim!

Jean!

Tim!

Jean!

Tim!

Tim!

Jean!

Is that Jean?

She must be starving.

Go to her.

Tim!

Jean!

Eat as much as you like.

Go on...

Go to her! Tim!

I'm scared.

Don't be! Don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

Tim! This is Jean?

She looks familiar.

You're our next door neighbor Mrs. Wong's maid!

Mrs. wong's maid?

I remember you.

Why are you eating so much?

Are you hungry?

Just being neighborly.

Mrs. wong is my neighbor,

you're just the maid.

Why are you eating our food?

So what if I'm the maid?

I don't know what you're talking about!

Mom!

What did you say?

Jean is not a pig.

Jean!

Jean!

Quiet!

Stay where you are!

I'm inspector Jane,

senior inspector of the crime wing.

I'm here on an investigation.

Judgment day is finally here!

What do you want now?

No pictures!

Listen up, everyone!

How many...

Hours ago again?

2 hours.

2 hours ago,

a case has been reported to the police.

A young girl

at home...

Suicide.

Killed herself at home.

She was dead on arrival at the hospital.

And the key to the case is...

One body, two lives

one body,

two lives.

We start from the beginning? This is fun!

Which tabloid do you work for?

This is really stupid!

Where is the diary?

How did you know about the diary?

Let go!

Or you'll be charged for sexual assault.

Quit your act!

Which tabloid do you work for?

Show me your pass!

Are you stupid?

Taking a cop for a reporter?

Police?

Police!

Sorry!

Is this a game?

I can bring you all down to the police precinct for some fun.

No problem!

Where's the girl's picture?

This time we want to see the picture together

and not one by one.

How do you know about the picture?

Did I mention that?

No!

Golden chicken?

I don't know her!

Sorry! Not this one.

She's my idol.

This is the real one.
