It's good here. What about your side?

Haven't seen a cloud in sight.

What about your side?

The host is entertaining guests.

Yes, swimming for half an hour every day...

- Yes. - ...is good for your health.

Take action, now!

Hurry!

Hurry!

Everyone fall back!

Hurry!

Hurry up!

- We're TV reporters. - Don't move!

- We'd like to talk to you. - Watch out!

Get down!

Come with me!

Everyone's doing business these days.

I want to try too. Please support me.

- Do you know them? - No, I don't.

Hi.

Sir, you are...?

Excuse me, sir.

Have you mistaken me for someone else?

Why are you sitting here? Can you find another seat?

You shouldn't get in the car!

You have no choice. He's not getting into the car.

Let's go!

Out of the way! Out of the way!

In this entire exercise,

you only focused on offence and not defence.

There was no specific plan to rescue the subject.

And stopped at nothing.

How are your methods any different from an assassin?

Look!

You have no choice. He's not getting into the car!

You held a gun to the man's head.

And a reporter took your picture!

Are you protecting or kidnapping the subject?

Do you know how controversial this would be for our nation?!

Tell me!

Do you really remember what I taught you?

Yes!

I remember the first lesson you taught us was,

as a Beijing bodyguard,

you must protect the life of the subject at all costs.

I can die,

but I cannot make a mistake.

You should know that a bodyguard cannot make even one mistake.

But you used an extremely dangerous tactic to carry out the task.

Even if you accomplish the task, it is not considered correct.

Thanks for the advice, director.

I heard the marshal will take part in the southern tour.

Will I be able to take part?

You're our finest warrior.

How could we even think of not having you go?

However, before you take part in that tour,

you have an assignment in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong? What assignment?

That is James Sung, Chairman of the Tai Fung Group.

For three generations,

his family has made great contributions to the nation.

Your assignment is to protect his girlfriend.

On May 27, 1994, at around 3:00 pm

a homicide occurred at the Clear Water Bay Yacht Club.

The victim was 38-year old accountant Liu Kin-Chiu.

The suspect is the chairman of Yik Fai Group, Chiu Kwok-Man.

The Hong Kong Police believe the motive of the murder

is related to a case that the Anti-Corruption Unit is working on,

involving more than HK$10 billion in insider trading.

The witness who called the police

was 24-year old school teacher, Michelle Yeung.

There were two more witnesses.

One of them was the 28-year-old sailor, Chan Tai-Keung.

And a club security officer, Chu Tung-Ming, 51 years old.

Two days after the murder, the second witness, Chan Tai-Keung,

was suddenly Killed in an elevator accident.

On the same evening,

the third witness Chu Tung-Ming

was blown up in an explosion caused by an untraceable bomb.

On June 1st, as Michelle Yeung was preparing for her bath,

she discovered the bathtub had been rigged with high voltage electricity.

She managed to escape injury.

Michelle Yeung is now the sole witness to the murder.

Please have a seat.

Miss Yeung, this is Sergeant Leung Kam-Po.

He is in charge of the identification procedure.

Horses are now on the track...

I'll get you!

Hey, come over here.

- What's up? - I'm going to place a bet.

Wait a minute.

Place a bet on horse no. 8 for me. It's a sure winner.

African Warrior is a more fit horse.

No. 8 (aka Trust Myself) is a better horse.

I don't trust you, I trust myself.

Miss Yeung, have some tea.

Thank you.

Most women as beautiful as you are usually not willing to testify.

I'm just doing what I believe is the right thing to do.

You've got character.

Miss Yeung, please identify the suspect.

Miss Yeung, I have a suggestion.

Even though you are the sole witness in this murder case,

you are no longer involved in it if you cannot identify the suspect.

Attorney Lai,

Mr. Sung asked you to help me.

If you are scared, you can leave.

Just leave if you're afraid. I'll take care of this.

- Don't mess with her! - Miss Yeung, please identify the suspect.

It's Number Two. I'm sure it's him.

Miss Yeung, this is not America.

There is no market for righteousness here.

You really believe the other two witnesses died accidentally?

I'm 90% certain Chiu Kwok-Man is behind it.

There's no evidence.

You probably heard about him. Nobody can touch him.

Hey, are you Miss Yeung?

I've heard that you had lots of problems lately.

You should be careful.

- Thank you.. for your concern. - Very well. Goodbye.

I'll sue you for assaulting a police officer.

Hey, are you playing us?

- You... - What?

You can't afford to play?

So, which horse won the race?

African Warrior.

You won lots of money then!

But you told me to Trust Myself.

Too bad you didn't trust yourself then.

His name is Hui Ching-Yeung.

He is a bodyguard from Beijing.

He's very professional.

You can't hire him even if you got money.

So with him here, you won't need to come back.

I don't need a bodyguard.

What I need is you.

Since the moment you first met me, you knew I was a very busy man.

I still have so many contracts waiting for me to sign.

Even 24 hours every day are not sufficient for me.

Okay. I won't waste you precious time. Let's split up!

Hello?

Hello?

What a jerk!

I did not tell you to hang up.

What a huge place. This girl must be rich.

Not only that.

Her boyfriend has hired a bodyguard from Beijing.

That's great.

We'll take him to Club Happy to have some fun.

It will benefit us after the handover in 1997.

Well, 1997 or 1998, or whatever...

We should just mind our own business

and do our job to protect the witness.

Wow, has the handover already started?

Leung Sir, this comrade says he's here to take over.

He told us not to worry.

Comrade, how are you.

- Pleased to meet you. - Just speak Cantonese.

Hui Ching-Yeung, protection service for dignitaries.

Do you have any siblings named Heung-Yeung, Chiu-Yeung or San-Yeung?

Who are you?

Royal Hong Kong Police Sergeant Leung Kam-Po

Call me Fat Po.

- Identification? - What?

- You want to check my ID? - Please.

Can I please see yours first?

OFFICER CARD

Let me show you mine.

This is between senior officials. Get lost, you small potato.

I'm just showing him.

Go away.

Mr. Hui, I presume? I'm Mr. Sung's attorney, David Lai.

- Hello. - Please come with me.

Here is HK $500,000. Mr. Sung entrusts it to you.

You may use as much as you need. Please count them.

No need.

Please sign the receipt.

We serve the people too? Why this special privilege?

That's the way it is. He serves the great people of China.

We only serve the people of a British Colony.

We might have to mark ourselves as "overseas" in brackets.

Mr. Hui, I'm leaving now.

Oh, Mr. Attorney...

Did Mr. Sung ask you to leave anything for us?

- Yes. - What?

He thanked you for your hard work.

Give my thanks to him... for nothing.

Hey, don't do that, it's too vulgar!

Come on. Let's patrol this area.

Why didn't you ask me before looking at my stuff?

You think this is your own house?

It's part of my job. Please cooperate with me.

What job? I don't even know who you are.

I know you.

You are Michelle Yeung Sin-vi.

You are 1.65 meters tall.

Your weight is 48 kg. Blood type is 0.

You were born in the Year of the Dog.

Your sign of the zodiac is Virgo.

Mr. Sung sent you here.

But...

I never said I accepted it.

Mr. Sung didn't hire me.

The central government of China did.

You don't mind me being honest, do you?

I really don't like you,

especially the uniform you're wearing.

So he's a fake cop.

Don't move.

You're quick, but not as quick as my gun.

Hey, we work together. I am Fat Po.

Have you forgotten who I am already?

Awesome!

I've told you many times.

Metal cans in the microwave oven will cause explosion.

What if the house burns down?

Auntie! Auntie, are you okay?

Miss Yeung, are you okay?

Hey...

What's going on here? They are protecting me as well.

Your gun is empty.

You're kidding! It can't be empty.

It's not empty. It's just not loaded.

- Did you take the bullets? - I only took them out to see them.

- I didn't realise. I'm sorry. - Don't play with bullets.

- Have a glass of water. - Thank you.

Don't drink it!

The water hasn't been examined and may be poisoned.

From now on,

I'll take care of what you eat and drink.

- Everything's going through you? - Yes.

That's crazy.

I want to call James!

- Sergeant Leung! - Yes.

How many people are in this house?

Everybody's in sight. Let me count.

One, two, three...

I'm smart enough for not leaving out myself.

One, two, three, four, five...

- Six. -Thanks.

- Seven. - Thanks.

- Eight. - Thanks.

- Nine. - Thanks.

- Ten. - Thanks.

- That's your severance pay. - That's fine. You're in charge.

I've told you he's in charge now.

Hey bro...

- If there's work available, call us. - I would keep those to myself. Get out!

Let's go.

Comrade, all of them have been liberated by you.

You must be used to this in the Liberation Army, huh?

The more people around Miss Yeung,

the more concerned I am.

Let me tell you this.

It's a wake-up call for you.

Uncle Mao said...

more people get work done more easily.

Let me seriously warn you. I'm a professional cop.

I'm not like those low-rank people.

Let me seriously warn you again.

If no one is watching, I may actually take it.

Hey, bro? We can talk about it.

Don't get too close to Miss Yeung.

- Brother Ching? - Hey...

He's a real professional.

That's a low bar. You call that professional?

Hey kid, let me show you how professional I am.

I just shot you six times. Why don't you fall down?

How can I fall when your gun has no bullets?

Miss Yeung?

This is my private place. You can't come in.

Your room is part of my working place.

I said I am not opening the door!

- Hey! - The lock must be changed.

You should get out, or I'll call the police.

I've explained my mission to the Hong Kong police.

- What?! You... - Miss Yeung.

Don't stay close to the windows. You'll be a target.

And always close the blinds.

What are you doing?!

That window needs blinds on it, too.

Also, turn this light off

so it will not cast a shadow of you.

Let me tell you...

- I need to change. Get out. - Just wait. Let me finish.

I am in a hurry.

If you don't leave, I'll sue you for violating my human rights.

This water heater is very dangerous.

We'll replace it with another kind.

Hey, I need to take a shower now. Get out right away!

Hey, what are you doing with my things?!

Where are you going? Put down my stuff!

Hey, they're for my bath! Hey!

Damn lunatic!

Use this.

Listen. This is your last warning. Get lost!

Hey,

Are you spying on me or protecting me?

Hope you won't mind.

I just want to provide you 100% protection.

I don't want any mistakes.

Let me ask you.

Would you put a camera in the bathroom of Deng Xiaoping?

In China, we have 300 people to protect officials.

In Hong Kong, you only have me.

It's done.

You must keep this alarm buzzer with you all the time.

If anything happens, just press it.

I'll call James!

Left, right, over the back!

Very good, right?

That's impressive.

People usually misunderstand me.

I know what I'm worth. I don't show off.

I hit the target without even a glimpse.

Hey. He's the real deal.

Only you praise him. What's so good about his skills?

I tell you, he's nothing.

The board moved. He missed the mark, and the dart went into the wall.

Look at him. He even walks cooler than you.

What's so cool about walking with spread legs?

Hey, comrade. I'm Aunt Michelle's nephew.

How much do you charge for teaching kung fu?

How about $100?

Wow, high-class stuff.

Hey, how about this?

The first edition Dragonball cards.

It's worth several thousand dollars.

Hey. What do you think?

Hey. Let's bargain.

Hey.

Wow, that's so classy!

Hello?

I'm coming.

Hey, why are you sitting in my car?

I was told by your professional bodyguard.

You can ask him.

What the hell is he up to?

Nutcase!

Nutcase...

A beautiful and expensive car sure feels different.

Let's leave you behind.

And then you were out of sight.

Sergeant Leung,

don't take the old tunnel.

We'll take the Eastern Harbour Tunnel.

That way it'll save time.

Smart move!

I just wanted to make a big turn to change my luck.

Let me warn you.

There is a motorcycle behind you.

Fat Po, be careful.

- The motorcycle is behind you. - What for?

Miss Yeung is not in my car.

You are driving Auntie's car.

The assassin's target is based on the look of the car.

Are you scared?

Scared of what?

I've engaged in many battles before.

Don't move! My hands are trembling...

I lost control of the car, bro!

Lost control?

Did you ask my permission to lose control?

Now I'm losing control of my hands.

Please don't, bro!

Go away now.

Let's begin.

Was it necessary to leave in such a hurry?

When I'm around, you don't need to be afraid.

A bodyguard's duty is to protect his client,

not for dealing with traffic accidents.

You're acting like there's a big conspiracy

and that the sky would fall down.

People would laugh at you if they knew.

A cop can screw up and still keep his job.

But a bodyguard cannot make even one mistake.

Get me the headmaster. I need to talk to him.

Are you Mr. Hui?

Headmaster Tam, this is what's happening now.

He treats me like a prisoner and watches me closely.

He applied for two weeks leave for me without my consent.

I wanted to go to a hair salon, and he sent my hairstylist here.

I wanted to go to a health club, and he bought a workout device.

He's even making Billy miss school.

What am I going to tell my sister when she comes back?!

Don't be so upset.

Let me talk to him.

Bodyguard! Phone call for you!

Hello?

Mr. Hui, this is the first time I've seen someone treating Michelle like this.

Mr. Sung, I'm just doing my job.

In order to successfully protect Miss Yeung,

I need to restrict the scope of her activities.

It won't be much longer.

In one week,

she will testify in court.

Mr. Sung, it's not easy to protect Miss Yeung.

If you want me to leave, I'll be glad to do so.

No. I didn't say that. I trust you.

But do me a favour and be more accommodating to her.

Whether I'm protecting government officials or Miss Yeung,

I will use the same technique.

That's good to hear.

Can I please talk to Michelle?

Miss Yeung, line one.

So, is he leaving?

I've scolded him.

He knows he's wrong.

Michelle, try to be more accommodating to him.

If I send him back to Beijing, he will suffer a lot.

His superiors will say he failed his duty.

All right, I'll forgive him.

Hey, are you coming back tomorrow?

I can't.

So, you don't keep your promise?

Don't get upset.

How about this?

Let me buy you something. What do you want?

Hey, you think buying stuff is the only way to solve a problem?

I have a house full of your presents.

There's one thing I haven't given you before.

I'll give you an apartment.

Sung Sai-Cheung.

I'm warning you.

Stop throwing your money at me!

It's safe to sleep now.

Nonsense.

- Go, number six! - Go, number five!

- Go, go! - No, no!

Damn it! I told you not to win!

Damn, after all the bets on you before, you chose this one to win.

Wow, that high winning prize?! You're killing me!

I told you to bet on it. And you didn't, right?

That's right.

Hey, don't tell me you didn't put my bet on that horse?

That's right.

What? Then where's my money? What have you done with it?

Relax, it's your first time winning anyway, so pretend it's a dream.

So whenever I told you to bet on this horse for me, you never did?

That's right.

- You took my money?! - You know my situation.

I have to pay alimony and my son's education.

I didn't have a choice!

You piece of shit! Taking a friend's money?!

You're not my friend anymore!

If I had known, I would have bet everything.

I'm going to need a big payday.

If I had bet all the money, it would have solved all my problems.

Hello?

That's ok.

You must enrol in a good school in America.

There are lots of bad schools over there.

Don't worry about money. I'll take care of it.

I should have bet on no. 6 instead of putting the money aside.

Who's there? Who's there!

What are you doing here? I'm taking a shower.

What do you want?

Indecent assault!

Who's being assaulted?!

Sorry, uncle.

I touched it by mistake.

- Hey! - Miss Yeung's in trouble!

You say she's ok? Then it's ok...

Boss, she's got a bodyguard from Beijing. We can't get near her.

Are you kidding? You want me to do it myself?

Don't worry. I have a plan.

I don't want to see any witness in the court two days later.

Little Billy! The World Cup is over.

Here's something more manly to play with.

- Here, a replica of a real gun. - Oh, really?

- See? It's model led after mine. - Then I won't need this ball anymore.

Where are you going this late, Miss Yeung?

I have some urgent business to attend to.

Why don't I join you?

All right.

There's only one day left, and you can't wait?

If something bad happens to you when you go out,

I'll become the first bodyguard from Beijing who fails to do his job.

Why are you so mad?

I'm going out to see my friend.

She had a breakup and wants to commit suicide.

Should I just stay here and watch her die?

You're dressed up like this to go and save someone?

You are going to a friend's birthday party.

I monitor every phone call in this house.

Are you kidding me?

In Hong Kong, human rights are protected!

Please respect my privacy.

No one has ever taken away my freedom. Not even my boyfriend.

And also not being considerate of others, right?

Miss Yeung, just because your boyfriend is rich...

doesn't mean everyone has to please you!

Stop!

My boyfriend is wealthy, but that's his business.

I am my own person. I am Michelle Yeung.

If Michelle Yeung didn't belong to a wealthy man,

would she have all this protection?

What did you say?

What did you just say?

That's the truth.

Miss Yeung, a pretty lady like you deserves a wealthy boyfriend.

You'd rather pick an ordinary guy...?

You stay away! I'm warning you.

Don't say I am pretty again.

Pretty or not, it's not my choice.

I just fell in love with a wealthy man. I am innocent.

Why does everyone look at me that way? Why don't you guys trust me?

I love him, not because of his money.

Why don't you believe me?!

- Miss Yeung, I believe you. - I don't need you to trust me!

What are you staring at? I'm not crying because of you.

Miss Yeung.

After I've driven you to court, I'll take the train directly back to Beijing.

Thank you for your cooperation. Maybe I'll see you again sometime.

I don't think we'll see each other again.

Hey! If you keep talking, we'll be late. Let's go!

- Auntie, hurry up! - Coming.

Come, Billy. Let's go.

Come on.

Why are you always creeping around like a ghost?

Chiu Kwok-man just checked into a hospital.

He applied for the case to be postponed by one month.

I'm in deep trouble this time, James.

As of the current status, I'll be here for another month.

I'm about to explode!

What should I do now?

You must replace him. Replace him!

What about the southern tour?!

I won't listen. I don't care.

I want to go out. I want to go out!

Let's go. Let's go wherever you want!

Being locked up for so long... It's like being released from prison...

I want to buy clothes. I want to buy lots of things.

I want to buy Dragonball cards and play video games.

Hey, what's the problem?

I was buying you something to eat, and you didn't wait for me.

It's all good.

Billy, come.

She takes you as her bodyguard.

Isn't this handbag nice?

Miss Yeung, this place is too crowded. We shouldn't be here.

I thought you were protecting me.

That's right.

If something happens, you are protected by two elite Hong Kong cops.

Everything will be fine.

Who's that?!

It's not coming from there. It came from upstairs.

- I did sense it came from upstairs. - Yeah, right...

Auntie, I'll go play video games at the arcade.

See you later at the main entrance.

- Okay, be careful. - Okay.

I'll go with Billy. You look after Miss Yeung.

Okay, Brother Po. I'll handle it.

Miss Yeung.

This elevator is so crowded. Let's wait for the next one.

Freeze!

- Little Billy, where are you going? - I'll shoot you.

Hey, how cheap of you to play with a water gun.

I have a real piece that I haven't shown you yet.

Really?

Miss Yeung, the elevator's here. Let's go.

Miss Yeung, we rarely have the opportunity to be alone.

That's true.

No. 1 in the 1st race. No. 7 in the 7th race, for HK $200.

No, listen.

No. 1 in the 1st race. No. 7 in the 7th race.

Not the seventh in the 1st race, and the first in the 7th race!

Listen carefully now! First in the 1st, seventh in the 7th.

What are you doing?

Are you kidding me?

You didn't know you dropped your pistol?

Thanks a lot.

- Sorry, I misunderstood. - Be careful!

Oh, the race is beginning already.

Check this out. It's a .38 police revolver.

Areal police gun?

Are you kidding?

How could you get a real police gun so easily?

Let me fire a shot, and we'll know.

Don't move!

Hey, it's a real gun! It's loaded!

You're quite a good actor.

Don't shoot. Don't shoot!

He's scared. Fire at me!

No, don't fire it!

- Fire! I'm not scared! - I'm pulling the trigger!

No, don't pull it!

Hey kid, why are you playing with a gun?!

- None of your business! - I'll shoot you!

Shut up!

Didn't realise it's that hard just to get her autograph.

You take care of this. Let's not raise a panic.

Let's go.

Mingle with the crowd. Use the tall people as your shield.

- I'm going to shoot. - Don't do it, bro. It's a real gun.

I guess we'll see.

Don't shoot!

Fat Po, your gun!

Downstairs...

Get down on the floor! Everybody down on the floor!

Watch out!

- Are you okay? - I'm okay.

Over there!

Move!

- Fat Po! Fat Po! - Don't follow me!

Freeze! Royal HK Police! Show your hands!

Fat Po! Catch the gun!

Don't play around!

Fat Po!

Fat Po, are you okay?

Go! Go!

Fat Po!

- Don't scare me, don't die! - Billy, you can't...

... play like this. Luckily I've got my bulletproof vest on.

I won't do it again!

- I'm sorry. - It's not too bad.

- What do we do? - It hurts, just let me rest a little.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Why are you crying?

I'm sorry.

"Sorry" isn't something a man should say.

I once had a friend named Yi Dong.

When he was eight years old...

and younger than you,

a master at the Shaolin Temple loved him a lot.

Whenever he broke a rule,

the master would ask the abbot for mercy on his behalf.

Every time he said he was sorry, and all was forgiven.

Even though the master asked him to behave every time,

he didn't ever care.

It's because he knew that no matter what he did,

the master would be there to protect him.

Until one day,

he was playing with some lighted lanterns in the library.

He was careless and burnt some scriptures.

It caused a big fire, and he didn't know what to do.

Therefore, he risked his life running away from the Shaolin Temple.

But eventually he felt more and more guilty.

At that moment, he had two choices.

Either he could run away for the rest of his life,

or he could go back to the temple to confess his guilt.

Even if the abbot beat him to death, he wouldn't blame anyone.

He chose to go back to the Shaolin Temple.

He wanted to apologise to the master sincerely.

Unfortunately, he never got the chance to apologise.

Because while his master was helping to put out the fire,

he got burnt to death.

From then on, Yi Dong stopped saying...

"Sorry"

I'm a teacher. But I never knew how to explain that to him.

That Yi Dong, is he you?

Mr. Hui, this is the last time I would say this...

I'm sorry.

RESTRICTED AREA - NO ENTRY

Where's the body?

It's over there, sir. Over there.

Sir, why are you taking the body? You can't take the body!

Don't... don't...

This amount of money is enough to give you peace.

Big brother!

Little brother!

- Little brother, are you okay? - I'm okay.

My good little brother! I swear, from now on...

I will not let anyone shoot at you!

Are you kidding me?

You are so many guys, and still you can't kill a girl?

And so my boss had to pretend he's sick in order to delay the trial.

He's not happy about this. Let me ask you this.

Now that your little brother is dead...

Don't talk about money with me.

- Why squeezing so hard...? - Money can't bring my brother back.

I accepted your money, so I will take care of it.

Remember this. If I don't get the complete payment,

I'll kill your boss as well.

The wounds are very strange.

Too small for a crowbar.

The victims all died rapidly from blood loss.

What kind of weapon could have caused this?

They were killed with a bayonet used by the Chinese Army.

The three edges of the weapon cause rapid blood loss.

- Thank you, Coroner. - You're welcome.

They killed so many people just to steal the corpse.

What's the purpose?

I guess this affair isn't done.

Now I know what a real bodyguard is like.

You're awesome.

So, is your arm all right?

I deserved it. I was too clumsy.

- In any case, I owe you a big thanks. - You're welcome.

Mr. Chiu, do you know this guy?

If you don't answer, I'll sue you for obstructing police work.

My client has the right not to answer. Don't threaten my client.

Or else I'll sue you.

You wanna play games? I can afford to play with you.

CONFIDENTIAL

WE ARE FROM THE SAME PLACE

YOU KNOW ME, BUT I KNOW YOU BETTER.

WONG KIN-KWAN

Wong Kin-Kwan?

Did you receive the photo I faxed to you?

I suspect that he's a retired soldier.

Help me check his information. Thank you.

CONFIDENTIAL

He's a Chinese Army soldier. 33rd Regiment, 17th Brigade.

He's 27 years old and 1.72 meters tall.

The missing corpse is his little brother.

Your leaders are efficient! Have some evening snacks.

- Do you think you'll catch him? - For you, we definitely will!

MUST KILL

Thank you.

You're soaking wet.

It's dangerous for you to climb up here.

Not as dangerous as protecting me.

It's my job.

Don't treat me like an animal under protection.

Treat me like a friend.

Are all bodyguards as cold and distant as you?

Why did you want to be a bodyguard?

I'm not good at anything else.

You're too humble.

By the way, what do your parents do for work?

How many brothers and sisters do you have?

Were you good in school?

It's classified at national level.

Oh, so if I attempt to get this information, I'd have to go to prison?

Be careful!

Thanks.

Hold onto me. We'll go down slowly.

Do you have a girlfriend?

You would say no.

How about me being your girlfriend?

Just kidding! You're not my type.

What's happening?

He...?

Why would that happen?

He's interfering with our signals.

Fat Po!

Take care of Miss Yeung.

This time you get to live. Next time I'll get your corpse.

Wow, it's heavy! What kind of glass is this?

Armoured glass. It's bulletproof.

- Against any type of bullets? - Yes.

Keung, get me a bigger one.

You even make me nervous. Is it that serious?

The assassin has figured out everything about us.

How many of us there are, how we're organised.

He knows everything.

I told Keung to stay alert.

Hey, Fat Po, don't let Michelle know about this.

Let her enjoy her birthday.

Should we throw a birthday party for her then?

Thank you.

Sorry.

By the way, I ordered a shirt for you from the shop.

It got delivered today.

See if you like it.

Hello?

So? You still want to replace the bodyguard?

Wait a second.

Ching? Are you in a hurry to go back to Beijing?

James said he could get a new bodyguard.

Let's just wait and see. Bye.

Hey...

- Good night. - Good night.

Happy birthday!

The dumplings seem quite creatively made.

If rose flowers were present also, that would be perfect.

Auntie receives roses every year on her birthday.

Once you cut a flower, it loses its life.

What's the difference between that and corpses?

Hey, why say such things on her birthday?

- Make a wish. - All right.

This is for you.

Thanks.

I think you'll get me one as well.

She might return all of it to you.

Auntie doesn't like corpses anymore.

What do you mean?

Give them to me, I'll put them in a vase.

Freeze!

- What's this? - These are flowers from Mr. Sung.

Flowers? Mr. Sung sent these?

Thanks a lot. Hope I didn't scare you.

Who bought the flowers?

Mr. Sung sent these.

Give them to me.

You're not too bright, are you?

It's time for you to get rid of your stuff...

What's it got to do with you?

Hello?

Thanks for the flowers.

Are you available to eat dinner with me?

Dinner?

No, you're so busy. Finish your business first.

I deliberately came in from Beijing to have dinner with you.

- I'm out front. - What? Out front?

Hey, you better not be fooling me.

Look out of the window.

Go and get changed. I'll wait for you here in the car.

Okay, I'll get changed and come down right away.

I'll be quick.

Mr. Sung, when did you make the reservation?

Yesterday.

Does anyone know you're having dinner here with Miss Yeung?

You don't trust me?

No, I think he just wants to make an assessment

of whether those people will be able to harm me or not.

You seem to understand him well.

Mr. Sung, don't drink it yet.

Please, you drink some first.

Drink it.

Mr. Sung, it's safe to drink.

You're very cautious.

- He's like that about everything. - He doesn't make mistakes?

That's right, he never made a mistake.

If he made only one mistake, he couldn't be a bodyguard anymore.

You've become a real expert on this.

So what would you like to eat?

I'm not sure.

How about fish?

I'll take another look.

Anything is good. You decide!

- Are your students behaving? - Yes, the colour isn't bad.

- What are you talking about? - Nothing.

I need to use the ladies room.

- Miss Yeung? - Thank you.

Miss Yeung!

- What happened? - She just fell.

Help us.

Where is auntie? Did she get angry and leave?

Billy, what kind of nonsense did you say?

Nothing! I didn't say anything.

Billy just came here.

I have to take a late flight back to Beijing tonight.

I can't drive you home.

That's fine.

I'm coming home next week.

Mr. Hui, after next week's trial, your mission will be accomplished.

Thank you for taking care of Michelle.

My pleasure. This is what I should do.

Where are you going?

A camera isn't working. I was going to check.

This is for you.

Thank you.

Let me help you put it on.

It's an automatic watch. No need to wind it.

- It matches you! - Thank you.

- Good night. - Good night.

Ching, is there anything that could make you stay in Hong Kong?

I don't think so.

I think so, too. Good night.

Good night.

When this gradually becomes a habit

When the body wants to hide your arms

When the feeling comes from your eyes

It's too hard to hide the truth

When there is need for pity

When erratic feelings become true

The most fragile is this heart

And this feeling of protection is intoxicating

Are you okay?

Sorry, I touched the button by mistake.

That's all right.

I have something to tell you.

But I don't know how to say it.

Don't avoid those rushing heartbeats

Do you find me too direct?

No.

I didn't mean that. Don't misunderstand me.

I didn't mean that either.

When there is need for pity

When erratic feelings become true

The most fragile is this heart

And this feeling of protection is intoxicating

Don't avoid seeing through each other's eyes

Don't pretend to be calm anymore

Don't avoid those rushing heartbeats

That told us this is true love

It's late, good night.

Love that for which I'll give my life

Hey, I didn't realise you could eat that much.

Well, I'm just hungry.

You're not hungry. Something's bothering you.

Just like me. I smoke when something's bothering me.

Something's bothering you?

My kid and money problems.

My son wants to study in the US.

Even with my underpants for sale, I can barely afford buying him a plane ticket.

I even gave him the betting money from my colleague, and it's still not enough.

Hey, I heard there are lots of opportunities to make money in China.

If you know of any, please let me know.

You don't want to be a cop?

With such a low salary, it's not enough.

So why did you join the police force?

When you're young, becoming a cop gives a feeling of prestige.

In fact, I was good once.

I arrested 10 jewelry store robbers with a single gun.

The whole Yau Ma Tei police station was shocked. They named me "Genius".

- Then you must have been very cool? - Of course, definitely.

I was as cool as you.

That's how I got my wife!

Let me show you.

She's pretty.

She must have many admirers.

That's right. But I know she still loves me.

I screwed things up.

I wasn't showing any care or feelings towards her.

We were married for nine years.

But I always forgot her birthday.

I wasn't with her when she gave birth to our child.

She once told me a businessman tried to court her by offering her an apartment.

I thought she was joking, so I replied in a similar manner.

I said "I'm not made for you."

"In this field of work, we never know what tomorrow brings."

"You think about it carefully. I don't care."

I said a lot of bullshit that didn't make sense.

I think women want to be pampered.

Now that makes sense.

But just like you, I was too distant and messed it up.

The mouth says harsh words, but the heart is in tatters.

Brother, let me remind you.

Once the opportunity disappears, there's no second chance.

Good kung fu is useless.

When love decides to come, even good kung fu can't stop it.

Every man will die when encountering it.

As the saying goes, "In front of beauty, the hero always gives in."

But in your case it's worth it. You caught some good stuff.

She's wonderful enough to be Miss Universe.

Just between us, admit that you love her.

Tell you what, ask me if you have any questions related to this.

If you don't speak up, it means you admit it.

I can't be distracted when I'm protecting people.

Work is work.

I have to avoid personal feelings.

Aren't bodyguards human beings?

Don't try to resist, or you'll be in pain.

Hey bro, look! She's calling you.

It's alright, the pager is just not working properly.

A pager that doesn't work properly is just a small issue.

A mermaid who disappears at sea and can't be retrieved is a bigger issue.

Keung!

Keung!

Keung, are you okay? Keung!

You're the best sharpshooter I've ever seen.

But too bad...

you're out of bullets!

Take cover!

Keung.

Here is some money.

Bet it on no. 3 in the 8th race, African Warrior.

I always cheated you. Why do you still trust me?

I will lose for sure this time.

It's better that it benefits your son rather than the Jockey Club.

I'll definitely repay the money to you.

I will.

Keung.

Miss Yeung.

You are really...

beautiful.

I know I misjudged you before...

If you forgive me, could you sign this photo for me?

No! Keung, no! Keung!

I will avenge you!

Billy!

Ching?

The entire house is filled with gas.

I've locked the doors. The windows are bulletproof.

One shot, and we'll all be dead.

You have everything planned.

You really aren't afraid of dying?

My job...

is to face death.

Don't threaten me.

I'm a Vietnam War veteran. I've risked my life before.

Brothers...

Let's open fire together.

Kill him together.

Okay?

Are you afraid of dying?!

My brother was not afraid.

So I should not be afraid either.

Only you had a brother? I had mine, too.

My younger brother was killed by him.

Hui Ching-Yeung, you want to die with us?

All right!

Let's go together and visit my little brother in hell!

Boss, no!

Sit tight, Keung!

I am the best soldier, trained to attack and Kkill.

You're the best bodyguard. You know how to defend.

Today, only one of us will walk out of here alive.

Come on!

No air left?

DEFEND OUR COUNTRY

Uncle!

Ching!

Come on.

Why is there such a strong smell of gas?!

Hey!

Let my girlfriend go!

Whatever your boss is paying you, I'll double it.

You think money means everything? Get lost!

Get lost!

Now you're afraid?

He... shot seven bullets into my brother's body!

Now I'm going to shoot back seven bullets into her body!

Then he'll fail his mission.

If you let her go, I'll pay any price.

I'll definitely have to fire my gun.

But since you are so rich,

you can find someone to take the bullets for her.

Why hasn't anybody volunteered to take the bullets yet?

- Hey... - Are you afraid of dying?

You're really something! You're quite brave!

You're not afraid of dying.

Ching!

It's not over yet.

Ching!

I have six more bullets.

No!

Kin-Kwok...

I'll have him keep you company.

No!

Ching!

Don't leave me, Ching!

Ching!

Ching!

Are you okay? Uncle fatso!

Ching! Ching!

Ching!

Ching!

This is Hui Ching-yeung's gun. Please take it.

James, hurry up, hurry up!

Mr. Sung,

I was trained to take a bullet.

You ducked because that's the natural instinct.

There is no reason for you to feel guilty.

This is from Comrade Hui to Sergeant Leung Kam-Po.

I just want to see him.

You should spend more time with her.

Fat Po, just between you and me,

this money is for your son's education.

This mainland fool gave all this money to me.

Ching! Ching!

You can't go over there.

RESTRICTED BORDER

- I have a permit. - Go over there by yourself.

Can you please do me a favour?

Only once?

Ching.

He's gone. He left you this.

Ching.

Ching!
