Original subtitles

My name is Wong Chi-sing.

21 years old this year

Three years ago, I was a cadet at the Royal HK Police Force.

I planned to be an inspector

I wanted to live a stable life,

just like the advertising said.

Save kids, arrest thieves... that's what I had in mind.

God knows...

After saying yes, Sir...

my life completely changed.

I entered an evil world I never

could've dreamed of.

Wong Chi-sing.

Sir.

You, the most outstanding student before the unification with China.

Are you willing to accept\\a most difficult assignment?

We've found a way into the most powerful Triad society...

Hung Hing Society.

I want you to follow Fai-lone, one of Hung Hing's territory bosses.

You understand?

Fai-lone?

Once you're undercover, you report only to me.

You can't reveal your identity to anyone.

About your salary...

we'll automatically transfer it to your account. Understand?

Sir, what exactly will I be doing?

Anything to nail Fai-lone and Hung Hing.

Yes, sir.

Once I became a member,

I learned that modern Triads were totally different than I imagined.

They're organized. What they care about matters most.

Sometimes they ignore their bosses in favor of benefits.

They always want to be respected.

But most important...

Money, pride, and losing face.

Pao, the head of Hung Hing, will carry out a mission.

I don't know what they're fighting for,

But I'm sure of one thing. It's about money.

They don't offend me.

They despise Hung Hing.

Even Ken, that's me, and you agree, Fai-lone will say no.

You have my total support.

Wait!

Shut up, Ken. Bitch.

If there's a fight, you'll be the first to run.

What is it? Speak up.

You know, I've gotta go now!

You know, I've gotta go now! Today is Fai-lone's mom's birthday. She's my Godmother.

Today is Fai-lone's mom's birthday. She's my Godmother.

I've gotta get to the party, right?

Why're you still here, then?

If you don't go now, you'll starve to death.

I'm going, but...

Brother Pao, I know two fools who'll go there to gamble.

I'd like you to join me. Give me ten thousand dollars.

We'll be the banker, and take all their money.

If you lose, do you have the money to cover it?

I'm an honorable person.

It's okay...

Forget the gambling, but give my Godmother some money for luck.

I'll take it there as a favor.

Want me to teach you a lesson?

Go now!

Fine, I'm leaving.

I'm sorry, Brother Pao, I'm sorry.

Brother Sing...

Sing, what a coincidence!

You'd better hit the Mahjong table.

You're so nice! That's why you're Fai-lone's right hand.

Brother Sing.

What a bastard!

What did Fai-lone do wrong in his previous life?

How can he treat this bastard like a Brother?

He became a Triad at 15.

He's in his thirties now. He's lucky to be alive.

His father was lucky.

When Fai-lone's father was injured, he covered for his dad.

That's why Fai-lone pays his family's expenses.

I think you'll be doing that now?

The police were informed. You've gotta be careful.

It's okay. I told everyone we'd do it tomorrow.

The police'll believe that.

Tonight, we'll smash Loan Shark Ko's turf.

Want me to inform Fai-lone?

No, he's blood. Don't bother him.

I'll chat with him later.

If he doesn't see you at the party, Fai-lone will ask about it.

It's okay. I'll ask my son to go.

Chun.

What is it? Dad?

Greet Brother Sing.

Brother Sing.

Come on, take a seat.

Is he your son?

He failed his UK studies, so I brought him back to work for me.

You'll scare the shit out of him! He looks like a gentleman.

You got cheated!

He killed some British colored kid and came running home.

Do you need my help?

No, thanks.

You'd better serve the guests.

Big Head Man hasn't come yet.

We're all just fighters.

Fai-lone's the only able businessman here.

Leave him alone! Take care of my son. Okay?

Sure. Good luck to you.

Why not go with us?

No. I've gotta do something first.

Forget it! Why not ask someone to help?

No, thanks.

You being tailed?

No.

Any moves tonight?

Five years!

I've waited for five years.

Officer Cole will lead the team to arrest Pao.

Pao never imagined...

He did so many crimes, but thought he'd escape charges.

And now he'll be caught because of pirated VCDs.

Pao is smart.

This time, he'll be furious and that'll make him reckless.

After he's caught, you'll be back on the force, right?

Police?

I've been undercover for years. I think like a Triad.

I have to betray my own boss.

This isn't what I wanted.

Listen. You and me? We're not Triad.

We're the police.

Is it Fai-lone's mom's birthday?

I can't imagine...

Everyone knows Fai-lone's gone straight.

Why'd they put you next to him for three years?

I don't know, and I don't want to know, either.

When you're in the storm, it doesn't matter so much.

He treats you like blood. You gonna have a problem nailing him?

Not sure I can wait. I could be killed before that.

I've gotta go now.

Brother Fai-lone.

Yes.

You must win the seat in the Rural Council.

You can't lose.

We'll lose face if you do.

Uncle Kuen, times are different now.

I don't mind the time and effort,

but on election day, being fair is most important.

I don't want any bribes for votes. Remember the ICAC.

Fai-lone, are you kidding me?

Being rich has turned you gutless?

I only had my gall bladder removed, you know.

I think I need to talk to Pao.

Pao's my best buddy.

He agrees with me. On everything!

It's time for Uncle Kuen to enjoy life.

Mom, one more kiss.

Happy birthday! My dear son!

Alan and May are coming to wish you a happy birthday.

Did you force them to come?

Don't look at me, I wouldn't dare!

Be serious, okay? It's your mom's birthday.

I'm always like this.

Henry, take care of grandma.

Henry, take care of grandma. Otherwise, I'll flush you down with the rest of the shit.

Otherwise, I'll flush you down with the rest of the shit.

Fine.

You're disgusting!

Senator Chow.

Congratulations...

Hope your mother has a happy birthday. Live long and well.

Thanks... Daisy.

Daisy...

Senator Chow.

How come you're so early today? Don't you have a meeting to go to?

It was too boring. I snuck out.

Sorry, that was rude. Sorry!

No problem. Cheers.

Sam, where is Brother Fai-lone?

Mr. Ma, the boss is up there.

Really?

Brother Fai-lone, I'm here.

Mr. Ma, this way.

Okay.

Excuse me, this is my friend. Take care of him for me, please.

Sorry!

Sorry! My men made trouble in Mong Kok. I have blood on my shirt.

My men made trouble in Mong Kok. I have blood on my shirt.

I had to go home and change, and it made me late. Sorry!

No problem. This is...

This is Brother Fai-lone. This is Fa, from the Tung Sing Group.

You're Brother Fai-lone?

You're the one who had a run-in with Brother Pao.

We'd better sit down and talk this over.

Let's not talk about it today.

Today is my mom's birthday. Let's have a drink instead.

My friend's dealing over there. Go try your luck.

Show them around.

Go play a few hands.

Help yourself!

Let's bet!

It's despicable, the way Brother Fai-lone treated us.

Brother Fai-lone's a gentleman now.

He won't fight any more!

Let's go play a hand.

Mrs. Lone, May's looking for you at reception.

Excuse me.

No problem!

Mrs. Lone? Come over here, please.

What's the matter?

One of the red envelopes came like this.

Who sent it?

I can't remember.

What are you doing?

I'm Tong Man Chun. Brother Pao's son.

Congratulations!

Thanks!

Mrs. Lone, he was looking at you.

No way! Are you sure?

Sam, don't cause trouble. Look after this place for me.

Yes, Mrs. Lone.

Sam.

Mrs. Lone.

Sing, how come you're so late?

Brother Pao has something planned for tonight.

Don't tell Brother Fai-lone.

Brother Sing.

Can you introduce Brother Fai-lone to me?

You haven't met him yet?

I knew him,

but I was 9 years old, and we were playmates.

I'm in my twenties now.

Come, let me introduce you.

When you meet my mom, you've gotta tell her she's pretty.

Relax! We know what to say.

Brother Fai-lone, a young man wants to meet you.

Brother Fai-lone.

Who are you?

Chun.

Chun?!

Brother Pao's son.

Are you kidding?! You're the one who studied in England.

I just got back.

Come here!

You're so tall!

Do you remember how we used to play on the roof?

Let me tell you. If you don't listen to me,

I'll throw you off the roof.

Sure! You always tried to scare me, saying you'd throw me off.

Yes!

I'm getting old. 10 years went by too fast.

Come!

Where's your dad?

He went to kill someone.

Just kidding! He's sick!

Beat him.

Don't move!

What's the matter?

You asshole. Betting with no money?!

You think this pack of cigarettes is worth $5,000?!

Who do you think I am?

Excuse me. I'll pay for him.

You have money?

Here's $10,000.

Sorry!

I'll let you go this time, but let me tell you...

Okay. I'll deal with you another time. Come on, let's play.

Sorry, sorry. Please, continue.

Sorry...

Everything is fine.

Brother Fai-lone, what's the matter?

My Godmother.

The man, he stuffed dominoes into my mouth. It hurts.

Are you okay? And he took my $5,000.

Ken, you want money? I'll get it for you.

Godmother.

Daisy, do you have $5,000?

Yes. I'll give it to him, grandma.

Let's go. It's okay now.

I'm telling you. You give it to him. Don't let mom do it.

Okay!

Go take a look.

Brother Fai-lone, Fa caused trouble on purpose.

Mr. Ma is causing trouble!

He brought him here, and he just sits there!

Should we go teach him a lesson?

How many times have I told you? We're something!

They're shit. Don't get mixed up with them.

Forget it. Have someone clean this place up.

What's the matter? Come have a drink.

Have you called Big Head Man?

Yes, but he hasn't called back.

Let's not wait for him. Let's go.

Boss...

Brother Pao.

You, go around to the back.

Yes!

Brother Pao.

How come you're so late?

I overslept.

Brother Pao, this is nothing. Let me handle it.

Cut the crap! Let's go!

No, you go to the party.

I've never missed a fight! Let's go.

This is legal, clear, and sharp.

What are you doing?

Take it easy.

Cheers!

Tell your boss, Loan Shark Ko, to come talk to me.

Old man, you're out of touch.

What did you just say? Repeat it.

I'm drinking a toast to my mom.

Mom, drink some tea.

Don't go...

Take a seat...

Boss, Fa apologized.

No way! He's not getting away with this!

Ken...

Okay, I'll drink first.

Sorry, I've just had my gall bladder out. I can't drink much.

Come in. Have a drink, old woman.

What did you say?

No, I can do it.

Good! Mrs. Lone is wonderful.

That's why you were the number one club girl in town.

What did you say?

Sorry! I'm drunk.

Come on, I'll drink this.

Forget it! Sorry, he's drunk.

Okay, enjoy yourself. Let's go.

Sorry, everyone.

I just remembered I have something to do. I have to go now.

Thanks! Thanks!

Thanks for coming. Help them out. It's okay!

I'll walk you out.

Thanks!

Where's Big Head Man? He's been arrested?

I'll come with Brother Fai-lone soon.

It's gonna be a while before the party ends.

You have things to do in the morning.

Get home early, okay?

I haven't said goodbye to the guests yet.

It's okay, I can handle it.

Yes!

Take my mom and Henry home.

Okay!

Go back! Let's go!

Godmother.

Ken. If you need money, I'll give it to you. Sit.

They took Big Head Man. The rest are in the hospital.

What? Brother Fai-lone...

Something happened to your dad. He's in the hospital.

I said, your dad's in the hospital.

I said, your dad's in the hospital. Why don't you seem to care?

Why don't you seem to care?

Brother Lone's the boss. Your decisions are always right.

There's nothing I can do but follow orders.

Okay, Sing. Send the guests to the door.

Thanks for coming... Thanks.

Bye, now! Thanks for coming...

Where's the fish and chicken? Why are you serving dessert?

If you don't have money, don't treat people to dinner.

Sorry, Brother Fai-lone.

I hate getting drunk. I always do something stupid.

Did he have a run-in with Brother Pao?

It's all a misunderstanding.

What did Brother Pao say?

I... I don't know.

Pao's my buddy. I'll listen to him.

Are you finished?

Boss...

What?

Why did you beat up my Brother?!

Are you helping an outsider?

Let him down, you'll kill him.

Stop!

Let him down.

Sing.

Yes!

Get the car.

I worried about this for so long, and it's finally happened.

When I retired, I told him to go straight.

But now, only Brother Pao is qualified for this position.

But it dragged him down.

In Triad society, the more powerful you are, the more people want to kill you.

There's no happy ending for anyone.

I've been retired for five years, and I'm still getting harassed.

Once a gangster,

always a gangster. Always trying to keep from drowning.

We want to see Brother Pao...

Brother Sing.

They won't let us see Brother Pao.

I want to see Brother Pao.

We want to see Brother Pao!

Shut up! Be quiet!

What? What are you guys doing here?

He's a wanted suspect.

He's in custody. No matter how serious his injuries are,

Only his lawyer gets in. Understand?

You must be Mr. Cole?

I'm sorry, I just need one favor.

Mr. Lone...

I don't know if you're Mr. Lone, the businessman,

or Fai-lone, the Hung Hing Brother.

I am Mr. Lone.

Pao is my friend. This is his son.

How is my dad?

I need to tell you, he's injured his spine.

Stop!

Relax. He's not dead yet.

Can I go see him?

Mr. Cole, do me this favor, please!

If you let his son go see him,

I promise you, everyone else will disappear.

I'm telling you right now, I'm not dealing with you.

Are you his son?

Yes!

Go inside.

Thanks!

Sing, take them away.

How is my dad?

Although his situation isn't critical,

He can't be moved.

You mean... he's a vegetable?

We hope his situation will improve.

What?

Dad wants you to take care of me from now on...

It'll be fine.

Have fun, boss.

Eva.

Sing, Judy's with other customers right now.

I'll wait for her.

Brother Man, you brought him here once.

He's been here since 3 o' clock and hasn't stopped drinking.

He's drunk.

Get up!

Don't mind me! I just want some peace and quiet, okay?

What are you doing?!

I don't know what I'm doing here!

Am I a man or a ghost?

I'm a cop. A cop catches thieves.

But now brother Pao is shot.

I don't feel well.

You think I'm getting sick?

You're not sick.

I'm getting sick.

You know, when Brother Pao was shot,

he only worried about me and told me to run.

He treated me like a Brother!

Wake up, okay?

Pao was shot. That's it. Stop being like this, okay?

Tell me, am I a cop? Tell me!

Am I a cop?

Sing.

How is Man?

He's sick!

He's sick?! He doesn't look like it.

He's drunk.

You're lying. He doesn't look like it.

Are you looking for me, or for him?

The man next door is nasty! Go kick his ass for me.

I told you to quit!

You gonna do something about it?

You think I can't?

It's not that simple.

I want to go shopping at Joyce Boutique.

I want to be like Brother Fai-lone's wife. She's my idol.

Did you know that? They've gone through so much!

You're nastier than the guy next door!

Go back!

No! You in a hurry?

I'm hungry. Let's go back, okay?

Okay! Let's go.

And him.

You sure?!

I'll help him.

Food's here.

So much food, these noodles?

If you get thinner, I'll lose face!

If I turn into a fat boy, you'll really lose face.

You don't wanna get fat, don't eat it.

What?

Will you take care of me?

I told you I will.

Will you marry me?

Marry you?! I'd worry about you becoming a widow.

You're always talking nonsense!

Stop it, no.

Stop talking shit!

You're dirty!

What was that? Say it again.

You're dirty.

Right. You just don't like me because I'm a club girl.

Club girls can be nice, too.

Brother Fai-lone's wife is an example.

I just worry about you.

If I get a phone call in the middle of the night,

you'll worry every night I go out.

If I want to be your wife, I'll have to deal with it.

You think it's that easy?

Okay, since you're so sincere,

I'll make you queen... of my right side.

I dare you...

to find a queen for the left side.

I'll try, but... I hope not.

Stop it...

Stop playing dead.

I'm not going to look!

You said it.

Watch it...

You're hurting me.

I'm taking off your clothes.

Stop it!

What?

I'll go wash the dishes.

Forget it! None of your business.

I don't care. I know it.

Remember, don't act like me.

This place is expensive.

Expensive?!

Movie stars shop here.

It's not the same. They sleep with rich fools.

Am I a fool, too?

My ass!

I'm a gangster! Stop hitting me on the street, okay?

Come on. You're heavy.

CID.

What is it?

What's going on?

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.

Come back with me.

Go home and wait for me.

Why take me here? I don't need to use the bathroom.

Let's talk outside. Why should we talk in here?

The suspect, Mr. Cole, is very tricky.

PC 26117.

Did you know that something happened to officer Wan?

I read about it.

I'm taking over your case file. From now on, you report to me.

Man is about to return to the force, but you can't.

You have to help me nail Fai-lone.

You think you can nail him?

Why not?

Fai-lone is no longer a Triad.

He's not committing crimes. How do we nail him?

Looks like you're helping him.

I'm not. It's just the truth!

Why are you talking so loudly?

I'm speaking up

to make a point, so you'll go home and think about it.

And by the way, I'm a cop, too.

I might be your subordinate, but please,

don't lock me up next to a toilet when you want to talk to me.

Let me tell you something. Once a gangster, always a gangster.

Tong Pao is in the hospital, paralyzed.

Lone is well-known and respected.

They'll make him the leader.

Can we nail them for those crimes?

You look more like Triad than police.

Wise up, okay?

If I looked like a cop, I'd have died a long time ago.

And I'm not deaf.

You don't have a talk so loud.

Remember to report in every day.

If Fai-lone becomes the leader, I'm going to nail him, for sure.

Inside Hung Hing, we have more undercover agents than you know.

Do anything stupid, and I'll nail you, too.

Let me out!

Sorry, I haven't been here too long. I got lost.

Sit!

Where?

The members here all agree...

only one man can become Pao's successor.

It's you.

Sorry! I appreciate your support so much,

but I'm only here to understand

how everyone wants to deal with Pao's situation.

If you guys need any help, just ask.

Brother Fai-lone, are you kidding?!

You won't help Hung Hing?

Brother Fai-lone, you can do it.

Everyone respects you.

Uncle, I...

What is it, Fai-lone?

You don't respect our decision?

Mr. Ma.

Sorry, but... All the elders...

I know I'm young, and don't have the right to speak,

But regarding my father's situation,

I hope everyone will give me some time.

Go ahead.

The cops beat my dad so badly...

He did it because it was his job.

I can assure you that we have a traitor here.

An undercover police agent.

And there's more than one of them.

Do you have any evidence?

He could be any one of us.

But until I have hard proof,

that's all I'll say.

Chun, you wanna take care of this yourself?

No, Brother Fai-lone.

I just want everyone to remember how much my dad's given Hung Hing.

The elders always took good care of him,

but this time, he made the sacrifice.

Somebody say something. Do something!

Help him find the traitor!

I'll say one thing.

Whoever finds the traitor,

Whoever finds the traitor, has the right to take this seat.

has the right to take this seat.

Chun's right. We're doing this.

Chun, if you need money for hospital bills,

remember to page me. I'm leaving now.

I know you're rich, Brother Fai-lone,

But money can't fix everything.

True! Money can't solve a lot of things.

Uncle.

The society is getting bigger, and fast.

We can't run from the law any more.

Don't underestimate the police's power.

But...

If you've never committed a crime, you shouldn't be worried.

If we don't do crimes, who'd feed us?

Don't be silly. Stick to being a boy scout.

Sorry, Mr. Ma. I'm talking nonsense.

This is it for today.

Whoever finds the traitor, gets his seat!

If you need anything, come to me.

Let's go.

He's a businessman now.

You have to rely on yourself.

Sing, check up on what Chun said.

You mean the traitor?

Right! After Pao got in trouble, Big Head Man disappeared.

Word on the street is, he's the traitor.

I'll go check it out.

Sam, go get the car.

Okay!

If you quit now, I can't guarantee your safety.

You should know the full situation.

I can handle it. I'll just leave Hong Kong.

That's up to you.

Man.

He went out.

What?

Who called?

I don't know, they didn't say anything.

Man Junior.

Clean up. Dad'll take you to China to see the white tigers, okay?

I have to go to school tomorrow.

Don't worry, I called the school. Go pack your stuff.

It's him!

Kill him!

Over there.

Let's go...

Don't mind me, just go! Hurry!

Go to hell!

Big Head Man, my dad treated you well over the years...

Why have you treated him like this?

I didn't!

Swear it in front of God Kwan, I dare you!

I didn't do anything.

You didn't see it?

I forgot to tell you. Walk faster...

or you won't see your son again.

This has nothing to do with my son...

Kid, are you Big Head Man's son?

Let my son go.

Uncle, my dad got beat up.

Really?

You'll suffer more than your dad!

Son!

Don't be scared. Dad's here.

Son, don't be scared...

No!

Sorry! l know, I hit you too hard.

You know? l really love my father! Very much!

Go.

Dad, you're really something! You're so loyal!

What good does it do?

You and Fai-lone have been friends since you guys were little.

You guys struggled together, but he gets all the money.

You even let him win with the woman you loved most.

If l were you......

I would have taken half his property, and his wife.

The Hung Hing elders are useless.

Look at you! You're badly injured, but no one comes to see you.

I killed Big Head Man for you already.

He sold you out! l avenged you.

Fai-lone?!

He's always standing on your shoulders.

I'll always be taller than he is.

What do you want to eat?

Oranges. okay?

I'm feeding you, why won't you eat?

Eat!

You've always been like this. You never like anything l do.

My teacher always told me, behind every hero is a pile of bones.

l'm the hero!

Let me do it. l'll be your successor.

I'll become your successor, you hear me?

You hear me?

I will become your successor!

What's up, Brother Fai-lone?

How come you're here?

Chun asked you to come.

Brother Yiu told me to look after Chun,

and told you to leave your men to me.

What the hell are you saying?

I want to see Pao.

Wait, let me see your ID.

Did you kill man junior?

Did you see it with your own eyes?

I'm as powerful as Fai-lone. How dare you talk to me like this?

Quiet, don't argue in here.

Fai-lone is here. Act sad.

Fai-lone, they don't know shit!

Teach your followers!

More!

More!

Mr. Ma, what do you want?

Sing, stand aside.

Shut up! This is a hospital.

You can go in now.

Thanks, wait for me here.

Thanks!

Brother Fai- lone...

What?

I told my dad I was forced to kill Big Head Man.

We're sad, too.

Sorry!

But l hadn't heard this.

Yes! Do you know how tough Big Head Man was?

A couple of my men were injured.

I told him to stop, but he charged me with a knife.

I blocked the blow with one hand and attacked with the other.

I don't know why, but he just... fell.

Who told you he was a traitor? Who said it?

Dad!

I asked him who he thought the traitor was.

He wrote two words.

Relax! As long as you're alive,

I'll take care of your son.

Dad, what's wrong?

Dad's in pain again. Dad!

Look after him. I'll get the doctor.

Doctor...

Go check on him, hurry.

Brother Fai-lone.

What's the matter?

Boss told me to investigate the traitor,

and he told Mr. Ma to help me.

Check and see if Brother Sing can help me.

Can he help you?

Of course. He's very close to Big Head Man.

Really?

He knows where Big Head Man used to hang out.

I might be able to uncover some leads with his help.

Why don't l call Brother Yiu and let him talk to you about it?

I will help him.

This time my boss sends me to work for you.

After this job, we'll have nothing to do with each other.

How can you say that?

It's my style.

Don't like it, I can't help you.

To tell the truth, this job has two purposes.

First, revenge for my dad.

You wanna kill Loan Shark Ko?!

Sing is smart! You always had a sound mind.

I want to kill the cop who shot my dad.

Excuse me?!

Who are these men? Why won't you let me serve them?

They're not good people. Don't let them see you.

Why are you drinking with them, then?

There's good gangsters, and bad ones.

They've got guns aimed at Fai-lone, so l have to spy on them.

Be careful! Don't act tough!

What, you're worried about me?

You are so corny!

Let's go!

Sorry!

Your girlfriend?

No!

I slept with her last week. She wanted to do it again.

She's nice! If you don't like her, l'd take it.

I think you can do better. She's too passive.

Watch your mouth!

I envy you, Brother Sing.

Men, women... everybody likes you. You're really something.

What's your plan?

Loan Shark Ko pirates VCDs. Factories are all on short-term leases.

He lets his men sell the VCDs.

Even if their stories got shut down, they wouldn't lose a lot.

There's two other factories, making porno and pirate VCDs.

I want to report it to the Customs Department,

and get Loan Shark Ko's factories shut down.

His workers will be arrested, and he'll lose all his machines.

Sounds tough!

You're smart.

Mr. Ma will take care of this!

Brother Fai-lone just needs to loan us the money.

But that cop... I think Brother Sing should fix him for me.

Kill a cop?! Thanks for the assignment.

Are you afraid?

Who is it?

His name is Cole.

He's always in the papers.

Don't you read the news?

Killing police is a big crime. Let me think about it.

I believe in you, Brother Sing.

You can do it.

Cheers!

Cheers!

Okay.

What? You haven't eaten? Again?

You quit smoking a long time ago.

No, I just wanted to find that old feeling.

Why?

I don't know.

The Triads look down on me right now.

The whole world... Only the cops treat me as a Triad

I'm out.

No! You're still great.

You almost broke my jaw.

I don't even know what I'm doing sometimes.

People talk about going straight,

so I decided to go straight and make some money.

When I got successful, people said I used my power to make money.

If I fail, people would laugh at you.

Okay. Today, I can't go anywhere.

America, Canada, Taiwan... none of them allow my entry.

And the police are always spying on me.

I think there's an undercover around.

Now, the only person I can trust...

is you.

If you don't want to, no one's going to force you.

You don't have to be afraid of the cops.

I think you should watch out for Pao's son.

He just wants to be the leader.

Don't you know he's working with Mr. Ma to pick on you?

I watched him grow up, why would I be scared of him?

Brother Fai-lone, prevention is better than a cure.

I told you many times, don't come here alone.

Listen to me.

Let me tell you, if you don't listen to me,

I'll throw you off the roof.

I dare you! I'll tell dad.

I'll show you, then.

Sorry... I don't dare.

Mr. Ma and Fa worry me most.

Punishing Fa... they're not going to let that slide.

Let me handle this.

Never mind the Hung Hing business.

I hope I don't have to.

I'm 40 years old,

I'm pretty successful in my business.

If I start up with Hung Hing again,

my customers will be scared away.

The worst thing...

is that I can't get away from it.

Triad society isn't some little virus.

Once you're infected, it's in your blood forever

It'll control you, all the time

It's incurable.

Excuse me.

Be careful.

Brother Sing, time to eat.

Brother Sing, time to eat. Coming...

Coming...

Come, drink the soup.

I want to sit on Uncle's leg.

Okay.

Sing, you're single, come over to eat more often!

Come up here more, and have a meal!

Okay. Sit on me.

He's single? He's got more women than I have.

I learned from you, Brother Fai-lone.

Don't get me into trouble, now.

He's the smartest guy.

Let me tell you one thing, don't judge a book by its cover.

He's a world record-holder!

One time, I took a club girl out to eat.

We get home, and I go take a piss.

I come out, and she's already cleaned everything!

Dad pissed a long time!

Don't use dirty words, okay?

Honey, I didn't say that.

Our children said it! Nothing to do with me!

You two are a perfect match. I envy you.

Again, nothing to do with me. She's wonderful.

She's well-known.

At home, she's a good housewife.

A good mother, even if her kid is spoiled.

But in the bedroom...

Stop! I'll dress like a nurse and take care of you.

Very good.

The last time you played doctor, it wasn't really successful.

You guys help yourself, you don't have to wait for me.

I've never seen mom act so strange.

Why don't we have someone follow her?

No!

If we find out she's the thief, there's gonna be shit.

Ken...

What?

Godmother... You have to save me, Godmother!

What's wrong? What have you done?

No, Godmother, you have to promise. Help me.

If you don't help me, I'll be dead. Godmother, help!

What's wrong?

I owe money to Loan Shark Ko.

Luckily, I got away from them today, or I would've been killed.

If I don't pay him back soon, he'll kill me.

Please, lend me the money.

Get up. How much do you need?

Not a lot. You'll have it.

How much?

5... 5...

$50,000?!

$5,000?

$500,000!

$500,000?!

Godmother, you have to help me!

They'll cut off my fingers, Godmother!

$500,000?! Where'll I find that much money all of a sudden?

You could get it...

Godmother, take your jewelry to the pawn shop, okay?

Why don't you take my watch to the pawnshop?

Okay.

If you want money, come out.

Come on, don't be scared!

Fai-lone promised his dad he'd take care of you!

Put out your hand. I'll give it to you.

Come on. Put it out.

Fai-lone!

You come over here.

No, no, no.

Come here!

Get down on your knees.

Why did you borrow money from Loan Shark Ko?

They're from Tung Sing. We belong to Hung Hing!

What would people say if they found out?!

Look at me!

I want you to know why I hit you.

No, Fai-lone, no...

Today, I will kill you.

Stop...

Shut up!

You're not young. Why hit him?

I'm old, but you're a woman.

This is men's business. Shut up and get out.

Mrs. Lone...

Let her go!

Why does it have to be like this?

Why can't we have a peaceful dinner and get it over with?

Get up. Get up!

Don't help him up!

If you do, I'll hit you, too.

Go eat.

I can't help you.

Brother Fai-lone, we are superior.

Today, I'll respect him, and let you go. Disappear. Right now.

One month. I don't want to see you for a month.

Or I'll throw you into the sea.

Sam, take him to wash his face.

Patch him up and send him away.

Okay.

Let's go, asshole!

You haven't lost your temper for ages.

I don't care if people try to set me up or hurt me.

But I hate seeing my own people turn into trash.

Right. Ken is useless trash.

If I hadn't promised his dad, I'd have given up on him long ago.

Let me tell you, watch out for yourself.

I know, go check on your wife!

Why? I've watched her plenty.

Hurry!

Sorry!

I don't care how you talk to me,

but don't stare at me like that. It scares me.

What are you scared of?

That stare reminds me of how you look when you wanna kill someone.

I haven't seen it for six or seven years.

It wasn't me.

I worked hard for a long time. I finally got a better life.

Now something's happened inside Hung Hing.

Are you going to lead them again?

Since you're my wife, I'll listen to you.

I'll try not to get too involved with Hung Hing.

You're so loyal...

If a friend's in trouble, you won't help him?

I won't!

I only want one thing from you.

Before you do anything, please think about your mom.

Think of Henry and me.

I think of my mom, my son...

But I have no idea...

what you'd look like, dressed as a nurse.

Come...

Come on, get to the room. It'll be good for you.

Come on!

Thanks to you!

How dare you make a peep?

If I told Brother Sing, you think he'd kill you, or not?

I need to shit.

That doesn't allow you to peek at me.

Right! I Just wanna know when you're coming out!

I'll tell Brother Sing you assaulted me.

I'm innocent!

So what?

Just lay down. Don't move.

Hurry!

Want to sleep now?

Don't hit me, I... I'm hungry.

You wanted to shit, then you cry with hunger.

What's the matter with you?

I'm just really hungry!

I want to shit, and I'm hungry.

Move! You're a man, what are you crying for? Go to the bathroom!

Cook me some noodles.

Do it yourself.

Fry up some lunchmeat, then.

I'll fry your skin.

What?

Move, I need to shit.

Shit.

How's it going outside?

Messy. Loan Shark Ko's not happy.

He's demolished a lot of Hung Hing's turf.

I don't care. Kick that fool out as soon as possible.

Sing, there's a meeting with Loan Shark Ko at San Po restaurant.

What about?

Let's sit down and talk about it.

I hope so.

Okay.

See you then.

You're leaving.

Yes!

Don't hit me.

What are you doing?

What?

Go change, and come out to eat with me.

Great! I love this idea.

Don't open the door if it isn't me!

Smartass.

Brother Sing, don't go. Loan Shark Ko is inside.

Fai-lone's men are all here. We can get started anytime.

Ken, you must have my money, or you wouldn't show your face.

I didn't come for the loan today.

Brother Fai-lone will pay for him.

Okay! Fai-lone's got plenty of money, no problem!

If this fool asks for money again, don't give him a penny.

We won't pay for him again.

Okay!

We've been waiting nearly two hours.

What's the beef? What do you want?

Well, you used a cop to kill my dad.

What are you talking about, asshole!

You hate my dad, so you used a cop to kill him.

Am I right, Brother Sing?

Brother Fai-lone said so.

Brother Fai-lone didn't say it, you said it yourself.

You hear me? Fai-lone retired years ago.

Don't use him to bluff me.

Loan Shark Ko, I don't care how, but you started everything.

Return the Wanchai turf to Hung Hing,

get your ass back to Chai Wan, and I'll guarantee your safety.

What?! Eat shit!

What are you talking about? Why don't you go rob a bank?

I'll rob you first.

If you don't want to, you can live in hell from now on.

What?! Trying to scare me?

Yes, speaking.

Brother Chun, this is Sai.

What?

Loan Shark Ko's family is finished.

We have his wife.

Ken, what are you doing?

Brother Fai-lone told me to do it. It isn't my fault.

Asshole!

How is it?

Let them fight among themselves first.

Asshole...

Asshole! Come out!

Come back with me.

No. Something's wrong.

Tell me about it later. Let's go.

Why'd you lock me in here for 10 hours?

Do you know how important these last 10 hours have been?

Yes! You're helping Fai-lone

erase the evidence against him.

What are you talking about?

I think you've betrayed us.

You wanted to be a Triad and make big money.

Don't set me up like that!

Fai-lone and Pao are buddies, Ko's family is dead.

He must be behind all of it.

I've told you many times, Fai-lone isn't a Triad anymore.

What will it take for you to believe me?

Don't be ridiculous. How does Fai-lone become a good guy?

Tong Pao's son, Chun, is Hung Hing's most dangerous man.

He's behind it all.

Don't treat me like an idiot!

A 20-year-old boy beats Fai-lone?!

Wong Chi Sing, you're a cop.

Help me nail Fai-lone. Please.

This is your job.

Yes! I'm a cop.

Arresting criminals is my job.

I'm not just going to arrest nice guys you happen to hate.

What are you talking about?

What am I talking about?! I think you know it!

Fai-lone can kick your ass even with handcuffs on.

You can't stand to lose face,

so you've been looking for a reason to get him back.

Don't treat me like an idiot!

You behave yourself!

What do you think this is?

Sir, I'm reciting my statements for court.

So you won't do what I ask, will you?

Oh, I wouldn't dare, Sir.

You cuff me every time you see me.

Ming, Wan, lock him up.

Wong Chi Sing, you're not getting away.

Excuse me! Boss.

Judy, come out for a minute. Sorry.

What?

We've got two wolves in the next room.

Oh, thanks. I'll skip it.

No. They're talking about Fai-lone and Sing. Go check it out.

Thanks!

I'll take care of them for you.

Such a sweet act. Don't make me do you right here.

Sorry, boss. I'll drink this as punishment, okay?

What are you doing?

Okay, so let's drink together.

Wrong room, sorry!

No, come in. Sit right here.

Come on.

Take a seat!

Move!

I like it here.

This chair is better.

This is a nice girl.

I bet I could have some fun tonight!

I'm not playing with you tonight!

My name's Goldfish.

My man calls you a dead fish.

Take that asshole out.

I'll have plenty to enjoy tonight.

Let's fix Fai-lone first.

Boss...

Get out...

What's wrong?

She's drunk. Not a problem!

They're all here. We can start anytime.

Send some men later and hold him at his place.

At the same time, send someone to get his wife at the club.

I already sent three girls to play Mahjong with her.

Why hold them separately?

God, you're stupid!

Fai-lone's tricky. What if we can't catch him?

If we have his wife, he'll show up.

If he doesn't come, can our men have a little fun?

What should we do now?

Why don't you tell this drunken bitch to loosen up?

Or wait for Fai-lone's wife.

You decide.

Thanks! Come again, bye!

What the hell?

You're lucky.

What bad luck. Let's go!

You don't wanna wait for her?

What for? I don't like her type anyway.

What a waste!

Fifty thousand.

What kind of hand is this?

I lost again.

Five folds.

The game's over.

It's still early, let's play a few more rounds.

You won all our money. We lost it all.

We want a chance to win it back

Sure.

Are we friends?

Come on, let's play!

I don't know what's wrong with you people.

All you guys think of is Mahjong.

What is it?

It's just poor business, you know.

We all wish we had wealthy husbands, like you.

Look at your watch. It's worth few hundred thousand dollars.

Okay. Four more rounds.

Okay.

Let's change seats. I need to piss first.

Hurry back. I want that money back!

Got it!

Hurry! I'm waiting!

Go call Fa, now.

Fa, where are you? She's starting to suspect something.

Mrs. Lone?

Who are you?

I'm Sing's girlfriend, Judy.

What are you doing here?

Someone wants to kidnap you. Those girls are trying to keep you here.

No wonder those bitches kept letting me win.

Let's go!

Let's check the back door.

It's locked.

Try the side door.

It's locked, too. What should do?

Hold this.

Mrs. Lone, can we not do this?

Do you wanna get raped, or you want to kill those assholes?

Hold this.

Freeze, bitch!

Don't move.

You bitches! How dare you betray me?

No! I... I didn't want to ...

I owe Fa a lot of money.

I didn't want to.

Judy, tie them up.

Bitch!

Come here...

Go get the car.

What should we do?

Drive.

Why are you taking my car?

Drive.

What the hell? Why is it my car?

Move!

Who is it?

What are you doing here? Fa-lone doesn't want to see you.

I want to see my Godmother. I want to pay her back, okay?

What kind of excuse is this?

I'm unhappy. I have to see her, and pay her back.

Do you want another lesson?

I don't like doing it, but I will.

Godmother, this is your money.

Godmother, I came to pay you back...

Why's it so noisy?

Dad, it's really loud outside.

Sam, what's going on?

Is that Ken? Bring him in.

Open up.

Go to hell!

Sam...

Ken, what is it?

What?

What is it? Loan Shark Ko?

You should know what you've done.

Let my mother go.

Fai-lone! Run!

Shut up!

What do you want?

What do I want? How dare you ask me that?

You sent people to kill my family and rape my wife.

You have no say here!

I didn't do it.

You didn't do it? Right. You just gave the order.

Your men did it!

Chun told me everything.

Chun told you?!

Okay.

I'll take responsibility for what I've done.

Let my mother and son go.

You said it!

I never get people's family involved.

Let his mother and son go.

No!

The truth is, it's got nothing to do with Brother Fai-lone.

That's an order.

But about your wife...

Fa did it.

Fa?!

Fa, you act fast and clean.

I thought all the idiots died already.

Looks like there's two left.

Then my dad is even more stupid.

He struggled with you all his life.

You guys fought together, but you got all the money.

Right?

You may have it easy, but I don't.

My dad has nothing left.

Only his name. That's all.

I'm here to take back what should have been his share.

I'll tell you what I want.

I want all your money.

I can't believe Brother Pao ever deserved such a bad son.

People say bad things behind his back. I hate it.

He's still an asshole!

Take his mother out!

Mom...

Fai-lone, don't worry about me.

Take good care of her.

Okay, got it.

Fa, if you dare touch my mom, I'll kill your whole family.

God, I'm scared! I really am!

To hell with you!

Mom... stop!

Stop! Mom!

Stop!

Hey fat boy, better go begging to your Godbrother,

or your Godmother's dead.

Beg!

Brother Fai-lone, it's not my fault!

I owe him lots of money. He forced me to do this.

Brother Fai-lone, you have so much money.

Just listen to him. Just pay him.

Then we can start over, right?

Can you?

You're dead already.

Okay, what do you want? Just say it!

Didn't I tell you earlier?

You must be getting old. You're losing your memory.

Let me say it again. I have no sense of security.

So, I need to hire bodyguards, but that takes money.

What do you think?

Okay, I'll give it to you, but...

let them go first.

Thanks.

I know it's your request, but I'm a bit corny.

I believe in the law.

I'd like you to sign this contract,

handing everything over to me. Officially.

After that's done, I'll let them go.

Fai-lone, don't trust him. He won't let us live.

I don't have any other choices.

Okay.

Good!

How long are you keeping me here?

Let him go!

Get out of here! Go!

What's going on outside?

Let me tell you... you can go now.

I'm asking you, what's happening outside?

I don't need you.

I already have a warrant for Fai-lone.

Let me tell you, Ko and his men died in Fai-lone's house.

Fai-lone's entire family escaped.

Anything else you wanted to know?

No way.

Why did he run?

He must have been kidnapped.

Stop making up stories.

Let me tell you, you're relieved of undercover duty.

If you still want a police job, type an apology letter right now.

I'll take you to the Chief and file a complaint.

It's up to you!

Drink some water, Mrs. Lone.

Don't smoke so much. Your lungs will turn black.

I don't know...

I'll play chess with you.

Maybe Fai-lone and Sing will come back soon.

Little girl, don't worry about me.

As long as I've been with Fai-lone, I've prepared for this day.

Truth? You looked awesome, holding that knife.

I've never seen anyone wear an expensive watch to kill people!

So?

Mrs. Lone, I'm glad you're okay.

No one's answering the home phone. Do you know where they are?

I think Chun kidnapped them.

What about Henry and my mother-in-law?

If Chun didn't already have them,

Brother Fai-lone wouldn't have gone willingly.

Ko died in your house. That's the biggest problem right now.

The police will put Fai-lone on the Most Wanted list.

That asshole is evil!

He kidnapped Fai-lone, but people will think he ran away.

Why don't we get more men to fix Chun?

It's useless! Everyone in Hung Hing is on his side.

If we're going to do it, the three of us are enough.

Mrs. Lone, do you have any ideas?

Let me go look for Chun.

Where are you going after work? Come with me.

Mrs. Lone...

You can't go in there.

Okay, leave it to me. You can go now.

They're great.

You go first.

Mrs. Lone, you can't go inside. You can't go inside!

I want to see Chun.

Mrs. Lone, don't go in there. Mrs. Lone...

Mrs. Lone?!

Don't you know Brother Fai-lone gave me this company?!

I have something to tell you.

Me too. Come in.

Don't move, Mrs. Lone. I need to search you.

Thanks.

Please...

What are you guys doing? Are you crazy?

You think Mrs. Lone brought a gun here to kill me?

Boss, I'm sorry!

Sorry. Follow me.

Sorry, Mrs. Lone.

You should know... Fai-lone's run off.

I know now.

Can I call you Daisy?

Whatever.

I don't know why, but the first time I saw you,

I had this odd feeling...

Stop wasting your time.

What do you want to set Fai-lone free?

I don't have him.

He killed Ko and ran away.

He took his mother and son to Europe.

Brother Chun, I'm just a woman.

I don't care about men's business.

Is Fai-lone alive or dead?

He's not dead!

But he's useless now.

He's going to jail for at least 20 years.

Let me take care of you from now on.

Tong Man-chun.

Where is Fai-lone?

Where?

Fai-lone, mom got you into this.

It's okay. Don't worry.

What are you doing here?

Go.

Are you okay, Godmother?

Drink some water, okay? Come on.

Brother Fai-lone, drink some water.

If you're still any kind of man,

help me find Sing.

If they find out, they'll kill me. No way.

Drink some water first. Whatever!

Fat boy, where are you going?

Brother Fa, Fai-lone is clever!

I wanted to give him some water.

He... told me to call Sing, and come save him.

Why don't you go, then?

I won't do it! See?

I came here to tell you.

You're smart!

Yeah.

Go teach him a lesson. I'll watch out for you.

Who are you trying to lie to?

Go to hell!

You wanna die, right?

Throw his son off the roof.

Help...

Henry...

Ma'am, you look good.

You know how to dance, right?

No? Let me teach you.

Feel free to hit them.

But let me tell you, if anything happens to them,

I promise, you won't get a penny.

Come on.

I'm begging you, let my Godmother go.

Promise me you won't hurt her!

You just want the money.

You should go ask Chun for it.

Fai-lone gave all the money to Chun.

Go mess with Chun if you want, but leave my Godmother alone!

Don't move!

Mr. Ma.

Sing, come save us!

Let Brother Fai-lone and his family go.

Let Brother Chun go first.

Let him go?!

If I hadn't captured him,

He would've taken the money and run.

You idiot!

Did you hear me?! He's pointing a gun at my head!

Put down your gun!

Why should we be afraid of him?

If anything happens to me, you won't get a dime.

Say it, or I'm going to kill you.

Okay!

Put down the gun! Put it down.

Let Brother Fai-lone go.

Godmother, I came to save you!

Let's go...

Fai-lone, get in the car.

Fai-lone, get in the car.

Sing, get in the car!

Let's go!

Damn it!

Thanks, Sing.

No worries. You should thank Mrs. Lone.

Take good care of my son and mother-in-law.

Daisy, are you okay?

Daisy...

Daisy...

Sing, call an ambulance, please!

Hold on, it's going to be okay. Hold on!

Fai-lone.

Uncle Sal, Daisy was pretty when she was alive.

Don't worry, Brother Fai-lone.

If I can't make Mrs. Lone look even better than before,

I'll quit.

I'm putting you in charge of her funeral.

I'll take care of it.

I know you can hear me.

Don't worry. I'll take good care of our son.

I'll send him to study in England.

When you were alive, I promised you one thing.

I wouldn't get caught in Hung Hing's business.

But now you're gone, and I have no other choice.

Brother Fai-lone...

Round up all the men. I want Chun!

I think we should call the police.

The cops won't believe me.

I believe you...

And I'm a cop.

I know.

I knew it all along.

Then why trust me?

I know you. You wouldn't hurt me.

Besides, it's handy, having an undercover next to me.

At least the police know what I'm doing!

I'm not a cat. I'm not afraid of dogs.

I can't let you get revenge.

You can't stop me.

Don't force me.

If I don't fix Chun today,

I'll never forgive myself for it.

Sorry!

What should I do? Tell me.

You should know, I always listened to you.

Tong Man Chun, you're under arrest.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say...

can be used against you in a court of law.

This is a warrant.

What crime did I commit?!

Mr. Tong Man Chun.

Stop with the act. Police.

Brother Sing, help!

He can't help you.

Don't come over here.

Don't do anything stupid.

I'll blow his head off. Get out!

Step aside.

Don't come over here!

Officer Cole, call an ambulance.

Damn asshole cop!

Didn't you like playing on the roof?

Come here! You scared?

You played on the roof, right?

Come here!

If I knew things would turn out this way,

I would've thrown you off the roof when you were little,

so you wouldn't hurt yourself or anyone else.

No regrets, Brother Fai-lone!

Even if you kill me, you're not getting away.

If you take me to the police station,

I can at least tell them you didn't kill Ko.

If I die, you'll have to run.

I'll return the company to you, okay?

Should I say thank you?!

You're old. You're losing your memory.

Don't you remember? I said, if you didn't listen to me,

I'd throw you off the roof.

You really think I won't?

I'll throw you off right now.

Don't move!

Brother Fai-lone.

You can't kill him. You've tried so hard to go straight.

Don't waste it all on scum like that.

Brother Fai-Lone.

Listen to him. Stop it.

No!

Let him go right now, or I'll shoot.

Okay, go ahead!

Brother Fai-lone, if you don't care about yourself,

think of your son.

Your wife in heaven wouldn't want you in jail.

Thanks for listening to Brother Sing. Don't be so rigid.

You knew there weren't any bullets, didn't you?

So, you used my gun to kill him.

A man gets older, he gets smarter.

I'm not like you cops.

I'm not so rigid about principles.

Thanks!
