In the last few years in Taiwan
fraudulent crime has been on the rise
endangering the basis of our social stability
Catching these scam artists will be our department's main priority
We are creating an Anti-Fraud Division
to maximize results in targeting these scams
and lowering the crime rate
in order to secure the safety of our citizens
and enhance the moral fiber of our society
That was breaking news from Police Chief Ou Yang Xiong
How are the scams fooling people?
And how many types of scams are out there?
The following segment is a special presentation
of the 10 most popular scams
Is this Miss Belle?
Hello I am Mr. Kuo from Citizen Bank
I am calling today to ask
Do you have a savings account?
Yes
Yes?!
Yes, yes, yes Fantastic!
Is it at our bank?
No...
Then which bank are you saving at?
My piggy bank!
Welcome
NT$23
Keep the change
Your receipt, sir?
So... what are you doing
tonight...
...nine, 8, 7, 6, 5...
You feeling better?
Did you really ask for the transfer?
I don't want to carry a gun anymore
I cried again last night watching TV
Cried? Crying is no big deal
If crying was a sign of depression
then my son would be a suicidal
Really?
How old is your son?
A year old
Bad example! I take it back
being depressed is not a disease
Let me find another example
Me!
I cry watching TV too
Really?
What makes you cry?
Human dramas, or spiritual programs
What were you watching last night?
Animal Planet
Morning
What the hell do you want?
We're from the Central Police Station
Narcotics. Division
Don't move!
Freeze!
Where's your gun?
Still in my freezer!
Hurry!
Run! Why did you have try to run away?
You forced me to be mean
All right
He made me do it
Look what you did, bastard!
Hands off, you perv!
Cut!
Was that last one ok?
Look, look!
What the hell is this?
Why are you still eating peanuts?
Get over here!
"Hands off, you perv!"
Who speaks like that!?
Hands off? Perv?
It's supposed to be 16th century China
We're doing a historical drama
not a primetime soap opera
Who the hell are you?
Don't you know the difference between full screen and widescreen?
Half the screen?
Get back to your place, one more time
Hurry up, standby!
Don't touch her, you letch!
Mr. Wang?
Mr. Wang, we've taken your daughter
Daddy, daddy, help me, daddy!
Daddy, daddy, help I've been kidnapped!
Ms. Lin, we have your mother
Help me, save your mama!
Yep, $150,000!
Account number?
Save your mama!
Hollywood Model Management
Ms. Lin...
Yes, we're on the 8th floor
Save your mama
Excuse me, are you the modeling agency?
It's very simple
I have 6 stars and 10 starlets
and a whole lot of wannabes
Your future is in your stars and mine
I used to be an ugly kid
but when I was 17 I was called into the principal's office
From that moment on I knew that
the fastest way to make it in this business is...
instead of becoming a handsome man...
you just need to find a desperate woman
What part of yourself are you most confident?
Huh?
Confident
My eyes
I'm the new leading investigator of the new anti-fraud division
Star Liu
Assistant to the leading investigator Prince, #5269
Good morning, Captain
I was worried that you wouldn't see us
How could I miss you?
Look over here!
Hey! Don't go away!
Here comes one
She noticed him
It's a housewife
What are you doing, young man?
Taking off your trousers on the street?
Over here!
What? I'm not listening to you
You're on camera!
I ain't got no interest in cameras
The main reason I was assigned back to Taiwan
was to follow a reliable lead regarding the biggest scam artist
Everyone knows
the scam masterminds hide out in mainland China
and control their cons remotely to protect themselves
That's why it's been so difficult for us to catch them
So we...
Sorry, Captain!
There is a new rumor that the legendary Alpha is back in Taiwan
and he is going to personally supervise his biggest scam yet
This is a once in a lifetime chance to catch him
Taiwan bureaucracy is very complicated
but my western experience tells me
Simple is possible!
Repeat after me
Simple... possible...
#5269
Simple is possible!
This is the best photograph we have on record
of "Grand", best known as Alpha
#5269
Such potent evidence
tell us what it all means
That photo came to us in 1998
from a conman named "Snoopy"
Everyone in the scam business had a copy too
because Alpha was #1 at the time
so everyone wanted to know what he looked like
This is Snoopy's mentor, Lucky 6
The pictures were taken during a deal between Alpha and Lucky 6
It is said that
three years ago
Lucky 6 was finished off by his enemies
I want to know who shot this photograph
Lucky 6 is in the photo himself
there must have been somebody else at the scene taking the pictures
What about you guys?
We got a target!
All right!
Come on! Don't go away!
Johnson of Taiwan
Look! She smiled!
Come
Look at the camera, lady!
Go after them!
Steady!
They're coming
They're fighting!
Don't fight!
Name?
Gene Wu
Wu, not Woo
Gene as in Gene Kelly
or Gene as in DNA
Why were you running on the street in your underwear?
Officer, for the last time
these are swimming trunks, not...
And you, Mister...
I still don't know your name
I don't know why you have this anger towards me
I don't know what will happen if you keep...
I can't hold it any longer
Where is the toilet, Officer?
Where are your pants?
On the street
My day didn't start this way
Hey!
Having bad luck?
Me too
Problems at work
You too
So this is what you wear to work?
If you like
I have another pair of pants in my locker
You're a kind person!
Really?
We've met before
Huh?
When I was sitting next to Tiger tattoo guy
I was the guy in the green shorts?
It's me!
Let me tell you a secret
I am an actor
As long as you don't keep me on record
I will play any role
Give me a chance
Buddy
do you need extra help?
Captain Liu
This is the extra I told you about
Good morning, Captain
Mr. Wu, as a precautionary measure
we need to double check your past experience
can you recall any roles
that anyone might recognize you from?
Although my face never appeared on camera
my best feature is my shoulder line and it is quite distinctive
Do you think that would be a problem?
Captain, is that a problem?
That you don't have to worry about
But, yeah
Two years ago, I did play the lead
in D Day for the national troops
Captain, the famous military propaganda D Day!
Continue
I played the leading role, a negotiator
but unfortunately I was bombed to death
A dead negotiator
Got it, go on
The plot was like this-
I brought the grenade to negotiate
with terrorists at 30 meters distance
What do you mean, why 30 meters?
They had weapons too
If I got closer
they would have killed the hostages
So...
So I detonated the grenade and bombed myself to death
So that there was only one casualty, me
#5269
Yes
Over here
#5269
Yes
Recruiting an actor to go undercover is a not a bad idea
But look at this guy don't you think he is...
Captain, I understand your concern
But I guess it was a problem with the script
Even though he died
the hostages survived
It's not a problem with the script
Can't we get a smarter guy?
This is too risky
It takes too long to train a new recruit
The officers in the station are too easily recognized
There is nobody better than an extra
But there are so many actors in the world...
Look at him...
He's such an average joe...
Nobody will remember him
Perfect for undercover
Mr. Officer!
Stop crying!
Mrs. Hsu called and told me that it's her problem, not yours
She saw you from across the shopping mall
and thought you were too good for her
Did you see her?
She went home and immediately made an appointment with her plastic surgeon
for botox injections
and she wants you to wait for her for three months, will you?
What are you waiting for?
David, are you afraid of Mrs. Hsu?
So scared
Foxy Mink
Unless you violate our agreement
these "modeling portfolio" photos will be safe with me
You can count on me
The Director is calling for you
Let this guy take David's place
We've received word about Alpha
He's found his target
Mr. Li of Sunrise Enterprises
If we find a way to impress Alpha
we can get in on this new con
I know the cops are on to us...
and gullible civilians are hard to find
The Kaoshiung and Taichung scam groups...
they've all been wiped out
And won't recover for months
This is our chance to hit it big
Astin
So Alpha really exists?
Alpha
AKA Grand
Some say he's smokes and mirrors
Some say he's eleven men in one
Some say he's the god of grifters
In our business, he's a living legend
Like gangsters worship their gods and whores worship their pimps
The point is
If there is news about Alpha
then something really big is going to happen
This is our only lead
This is his profile
Also, we've been tracking
a Cayman Islands Frogman Inc. Taiwan Branch Office
The person in charge is Astin Ang
He is the new wunderkind in the scam circle
Alpha never works with the same people and
He will be looking for the best to be his new partner
Our plan is for you to go undercover and infiltrate their circle
That way we can learn more about what scams they are doing
and about Alpha's latest heist from up close
Exactly!
Infiltrate and detonate!
Astin usually recruits through male escort ads
as a cover to get new associates
If you are not comfortable with that...
Being a gigolo
Look! It's only because you look so forgettable
But we can always find someone else to replace you
Oh
About my character?
What?
What is my character like?
Naive
Taste?
Poor taste
Any special skills?
Mister Crosswalk
What is your problem?
My problem? Nothing
I let you pass, what more do you want?
You watch it
I'm going to call my buddies
Please calm down
Look, Mr. Taxi
Mr. Taxi yourself. You crazy woman...
Just drive away
See
There's a first time for everything
You're welcome
It's okay
It's going to be okay
Everything will be okay
Sorry, but who are you?
I'm just a fan
Huh?
Welcome, welcome!
I have heard great things about you all
Since we're all in the same business
You must have heard
that Alpha is back
This time, I've asked you here
primarily because
I'm sure that I can get the opportunity
to work with Alpha
Are we all as excited as I am?
Which one of you is Bing Yeh?
Call me Leb
as in ABC
B... And your specialty is...
Mobile devices
Tools?
Mobile phones of all shape and size
Specialty?
To cross lines and steal someone's number and minutes
To create fake caller id numbers mobile spam, giveaway scams...
and hair styling
Who is Chan?
Call me Buster
Tools?
Hands and eyes
Specialty?
Forging credit cards
Mr. Buddha?
Just call me Buddy
Mr. Buddy, your tool is?
I don't have any tools
I'm a voice actor
With me
you don't need any sound effects tapes
Impressive!
And you are?
Genesis Wu
You can call me...
Gene
Gene?
Let me explain...
Genesis means the beginning before anything
Before anything is nothing
Nothing means... nothing
If I'm nothing, you can't see me
And if you can't see me
Then... I don't exist
Now?
Anytime!
Anytime, anyplace
So what I'm asking...
is your physical body...
Genesis Wu
Sorry
he's here to interview for the escort job
What is your favorite body part?
My calves
Get out!
Do the four emotions poses
I'm good at this
Anger! Anger
I'll start with anger
Sadness!
I'll stick with anger!
Take it off
Do the four emotions poses
Foxy Mink, it's not that I'm difficult
But nobody does the four emotions
they do the numbers poses now
Have you seen it before?
If you've never seen it, I'll show you
1... 2... 3... 4... 5
Foxy Mink, haven't you seen it before?
Just follow the rules
Pants off
Still the emotions poses?
Do it yourself
Captain
Here's the profile of the new members in Astin's group
Captain
Profile of new members in Astin's group
I heard you, #5269
Although the extra gave us some initial progress
Nonetheless, it's an unscientific
and illogical way of investigating
I won't report it to our superiors for now
It will be our little secret
What are you doing after work tomorrow night?
Captain...
Just waiting to come to work again the next day
If you mean we should wait together...
Wait together for the next day...
Wait for what
The day after tomorrow
#5269
Tomorrow after work I will see you outside the records room
I want Snoopy in three days
Remember
No pain, no gain
Repeat after me
No pain, no gain
Great
It's very easy, just watch me
Hello?
Mr. Chen, your daughter owes us money
You are kidding
Honey! Phone call from scam people!
No way, she's only in 3rd grade
Kids mature early these days
Let me talk to her
Daddy, they're hurting me
Baby, don't be scared!
How much do you want?
For children under 150cm
NT$150,000...
Transfer to where?
Bu... Buster
Honey, don't worry about dinner
Our baby's been kidnapped
Come over here quickly!
Transfer to where?
#281-50-3618-12
Slow down! I can't copy it that fast!
281... 281 336...

First Bank, Mr. Wang
Where is First Bank, honey?
Thank you for your cooperation
Hey Mr. Can't Be Seen, your telephone line is ready for you
You can start making your calls
Cut it out
Hello, Ms. Shen?
Yeah
Your dad owes us money
No way, he's in a coma!
Why are you laughing? How much does he owe you?
What happened? Hello...
What is it, Gump?
You cracked up on the call
Bad luck happens...
But cracking up is no good, you'll get wages deducted
But, Gump, I thought we were buddies...
What's the basic wage?
Lunch box
But if you crack up, you don't get lunch
Astin
I know
If we continue like this...
I know
You know
I know
You know
Everyone has heard of Alpha
But do you know anyone who has seen Alpha?
No
Let me tell you a story
A few years ago
I put drinking water in a plastic bottle
And found a guy who pretended to be the reincarnation of a monk
And he blessed the water
And the water became so-called "holy water"
Sold like crazy, we couldn't meet demands
We didn't even have time to even boil the water
So we had to just take it from the tap
That was a wild success!
Okay
Really?
The point is, The point is...
Right now, Alpha is like tap water
Tasteless and colorless
If we package him up in a special bottle
He'll become holy water
So what we need to do now
Is find such a bottle
Astin
Huh?
Find a bottle!
The fall guy!
Holy water
Tap water
Okay, stop cleaning!
All right, Director!
I got it
I told you before
I invited you here to combine your talents
For a special project
To bring the art of scam to the next level
Besides the financial rewards...
I'm sure you all want more from your careers...
Get what I'm talking about?
Ambition!
In one week
I'm going to set up a virtual company
And one of you will be chosen to front it
And take the company to the doorstep of high society
Where our target is the CEO of Sunrise Enterprise
Mr. Li
Astin, you should know that we don't show our faces!
I know the rules
Like the rules know me
But rules are made to be broken
The front...
is just another identity
But I have a record
...Forging documents
...Fraud
...Sexual harassment
Mr. Li, long time no see
Have you had time to play golf recently
Play golf?
Ha ha ha ha ha... This is my wife
Ha ha ha. This is my wife
Go ask...
Go ask the garage downstairs
The mechanic, you know?
Ask him if he's interested in acting
Regarding the newly established Anti-Fraud Division,
Has there been any progress?
The new division has exposed five scam groups
And four dealers of mobile phone numbers
Results so far are fruitful
Since you mentioned fraud
I would like to ask you
about Mission Alpha
Alpha is only an urban myth
Whether such a person exists
is only speculation without any proof
so there is no need for a Mission Alpha
I am surprised
that a professional journalist like you
would ask such a question
If the police considers a person as non-existent
only because the police can't catch him
Then Chief Ouyang from a professional journalistic point of view
It is hard for me to comprehend, indeed
Thank you then
This is a special report
brought to you live by JC Chang
Who set up this interview?
Sir, you said to go public if there is progress
Are all the real reporters dead?
But you said to get the most popular one
And that's her?
Sir
Captain
Attention
Special Investigation Team
Meeting in the conference room
What's the problem with all the journalists in Taiwan?
Now this "Alpha" thing is on the news
that means we're going to be pressured to crack the case quickly
I tried to buy you all some time
but you have to live up to it
There are leads from mainland China
We got in contact with Snoopy
He was not very cooperative
He only gave a name
He said it was a colleague of Lucky 6
Could be the third key person His name is Mr. G
I'm on it right away
There's no need
I...
I'm on top of it already
I need to sign in
Creative Director Astin Ang
Ang
Director Ang...
Last time I disappointed my colleagues
I promised that I must enhance my performance
I have to make 212 phone calls today
Actual calls
Gump is very good at it
he will take care of your share
Before we begin our official collaboration
I would like to know your goals in life
Goals?
Do you know anything about the stock market?
Stock market?
Future?
Foreign currency?
Mutual funds?
Don't just repeat what I say
Which part?
Bonds
I didn't say that
Last chance
Here's the question
Deferred revenue, brokerage accounts, high-low index?
Do you know any of it?
No
Perfect
The financial world is too complicated
Your dad is dead!
What?
Inheritance
Huh?
Boss... I know you're in charge
but my dad is still alive on Peng Island selling stationery
Since I've come to Taipei, it's been...
Let me count the number of years...
1... 2... 3...
No
3... 4... no
It's 2... 3... 4...
from 2... 3... 4... 5... 6...
Your dad just died.
He owned a spring water business in California
Your parents divorced when you were young
and you've lived with your mom since in Taiwan
Your mom always told you that your dad is a...
a sailor
and raised you in rags
You went to university on a scholarship
until...
your dad suddenly died of a heart attack
and his lawyer found his only son
because in your dad's will
he has left all his assets to his only son
That's you!

I'm a little nervous to suddenly become...
a bonafide member of upper society
And?
But now I believe in what the devil says
that "money can buy you everything"
It's true indeed
Then your devil is obviously too naive
My devil says
"you can get everything...
without paying for it"
#5269
I have never seen such a bold surveillance investigation
I am sorry, Captain, but it's because...
someone took the last pair of binoculars
It's not about the binoculars
It's about keep a little distance
Do you have to be this close?
Do you read lips or something?
It was my major in Police Academy
Boss
Last time we talked about some legends
I'm particularly interested in Alpha
He will be interested in the new you

I can show you how to catch shrimp
other than that, don't waste my time
Don't forget to charge them for their shrimp time
Shrimp!
Mr. G
We are from the police force
What do I care?
Hell with the police
I can sue you for civilian harassment
Captain, what should we do?
Follow him!
You know what?
In this day and age
Cooperation with the police is very important
I know what you want
If you need my help, you need to help me first
Everybody
We have some lovely people today
This is Ms. Police Officer
This is Mr. Police Officer
And I'm the Secretary of Transportation
Mr. Secretary of Transportation
I ride bus number 264
Mr. G, if you don't tell us now
We'll... we'll leave right now
I took the photograph of Alpha
What?
Listen
We're from the police department...
You've gone too far
In this day and age
people will do anything for money
and they're after me for what I owe
Man overboard
This looks serious
I'm too old for this
I've got to protect myself
You're young You know what I mean? You can fight
So you hang in there I beg you
Do me a favor
Behind you
Everybody freeze

Let me introduce you to
Mr. Astin Ang
Good evening
and Mr. Wu from Interstate International
Hello
Mr. Wu?
Have we met before?
Met?
Really?
Oh
Ms. Chang
Now that you mention it
I suddenly remember
Yes, I thought he looked familiar
Very
Very very
Like whom?
You wouldn't know it
It's a guy thing
Really?
D-Day!
Yes, exactly, very like him
You saw me?
What?
You've been on TV before?
Star...
So she's the reason you broke up with me?
Huh?
Miss, you look familiar too...
What?
Gene...
Uh, Wayne...
Do you want to explain?
Fess up
Don't try to lie to me
You're crossing the line
I am free to make friends
Hold on, one by one please
Personal freedom?
Everyone has the freedom to make friends
I really...
Freedom
If that's what you want
Now I remember!
That day at the police station...
Astin
This is going to ruin
everything we have done so far
Don't worry
Alpha...
The board tells me that Alpha saw it all
What, on TV?
No, he was there that night
First of all
I, Wayne Wu,
would like to apologize infinitely
to Ms. JC Chang
and to the public for the social costs of this event
This personal friendship matter
does not concern Ms. Chang or the media
I hope it will draw to a close now,
and return Ms. Chang
to her peaceful life as a professional
Captain
That was the newest update
So, JC
are you dating Mr. Wayne Wu?
Wu's statement already makes it clear
Ask Wayne Wu
From what we know, he heads an international group
But the Wayne Wu you know...
I do not know him
Any more evidence?
Any new progress?
We've gone through another pile...
of hopeless photographs
we have to end this quick
otherwise they'll start to suspect
and we'll end up as accomplices
How's the portrait of Alpha coming along?
How far away are we?
Captain,
we are almost done with the facial shape
but we don't have the features yet
It took you three days to get the shape of the face?
We also got the hairstyle...
#3188
Mouth like a chestnut
Big nose Big nose is a big nose
Big on both sides Upturned eyebrows
Get out
Hey, I was just getting inspired
At least finish the goddamn mouth
I'll do it myself then
Looks more like a ghost than a man
After all this bullshit,
you don't really know anything, do you?
Captain
you're asking me to remember a face I saw 7 years ago
through binoculars from a far distance
on zoom lens
all I could see was a matchstick person
Besides, in the past 7 years,
I spent four doing drugs
one doing rehab
then became an alcoholic
and got addicted after a year
my life is in the gutter and I've got depression
I'm lucky enough to remember how to get home
You're depressed too?
#5269
If you tell us the truth,
we'll let you know for another 24 hours
The truth is...
I don't know who Alpha is
Then I want to know about Lucky 6
Captain,
that's a ghost from the past
Why bring up ghosts?
#5269
Escort him out
Don't touch me
Captain
You're being difficult
All right, all right, I'll tell you
Words don't cost a thing
Ten years ago,
my brother Lucky 6
was the biggest dealer in town
specializing in coming up with decoys
One day
some head of a big corporation
who calls himself Alpha contacted him
Alpha needed some bank accounts
to do some money laundering
he wanted 500 bank accounts from Lucky
Since Alpha was a stranger
Lucky wanted to be safe and asked me
to photograph the whole deal
just in case, you know
in case something goes wrong
we could use the photos for blackmail
The crews at the time
were more discreet
so rumors didn't spread so quickly
in the end
it turns out that there is no corporation
it's all just about trading resources and gaining profit from each deal
But besides my brother Lucky
nobody actually saw Alpha
After Lucky got out of jail
that's when the rumor mill really got crazy
and some people starting spreading false rumor
that Lucky is in fact Alpha
and so everyone came looking for Lucky
including his enemies
and then three years ago
as you all know he...
disappeared...
You said Lucky 6 "disappeared"?
I said he died
You said "disappeared"?
You really said "disappeared"
Isn't it the same thing as being dead?
JC Chang expressed that she's tired of...
Being followed by the paparazzi...
As reported in the tabloids, the two are already "more than friends"
...photographed together at a convenient store...
She went to pay the electrical bill
...dodging cameras,
afraid of being captured on film...
What the hell are you doing here?
Do you know how many journalists are here?
Are you a lunatic or what?
All the journalists!
You're out of your mind
Crazy
I know there are journalists
that's why I am disguised as a courier
Getting this uniform was nearly impossible?
What do you want from me?
Haven't you ruined me enough already?
You've ruined me
Ruined me
I'm so dead because of you
I know, so I'm here to apologize to you personally
But you have to give me the chance to apologize
You have to give me the chance...
I'm not listening
Stop playing with the buttons
You're really difficult
I know
For a public figure like you
Romance is a luxury
So I came here to tell you that
I'm not with that ex-girlfriend anymore...
The police woman?
That chick
I only met her once at the police station
Only once, really?
I have a friend called
Ming
He can't find his way home often
He always ends up at the police station
like he works there, you know
I heard them call her Captain
Captain Officer, you know what I mean?
Captain?
I have another friend called Captain
His real name is Capetan
If you like it, you can call him Captain
I've heard your voice before
My voice is very normal
Flick your hair
You're that "fan"
I'm so smart
I'm so clever
Some unknown fan
turns out to be a president for a major international enterprise
with a police officer ex-girlfriend
This is headline news stuff
You can't report it
I must, I must report it
Why can't I?
You've already destroyed my career
If I don't do this, I'm finished
Why can't I?
You want an exclusive?
Exclusive!
Wait for me!
Please help a poor lady?
Buy some gum?
Help a poor woman.
I know you've got a heart
Please help me out
I have three mouths to feed
Pretty girl, buy some gum!
Help out a poor woman
Mister and miss
Thank you very much
Please be kind
Buy some gum
Or a pencil
Thank you very much
Miss
Help me find the pen
Help me pick it up
Thank you very much
She's blind
Thank you, thanks
Lucky 6
We want to talk to you about Alpha
Who's Lucky 6?
You are
You're mistaken
My name is Lucy
I'm handicapped, certified
Here, I'll show you my ID. See
Thank you
We're from the special anti-fraud unit
I can't believe Alpha's still around
You're not handicapped
and yet abuse the certificate
If you help us find Alpha
We'll let you go easy
Captain
Are you kidding?
I almost got killed
for a man the world has never seen
Though I survived in the end
I lost my manhood
Snip
Captain
You're the first to tell me that I'm not a handicapped man
Then why don't you be my bitch
Sorry, Miss Lucy...
I mean, Mister Lucky
Right
Ah!
All I want to know is his face
I can't remember anything
If you can't remember
We will come back everyday
until you remember
When I was still a man
I loved women like you
Miss Lucy
Now I am a woman
I like men like you
Mister Lucky
You better give me an answer soon
or I'll prosecute you for fraud anytime
In one week
I want a portrait of Alpha
About Alpha's plan
Let me put it this way
Mr. Li's company produces
speed detection devices
Recently, the government wants to upgrade all the systems
and has called for a major big
Mr. Li wants the bid badly
The gatekeeper of the bid
is certain Mr. Chang
Government projects, as usual
are done behind closed doors
This time, the rewards are...
especially ludicrous
Since Li has already caught the eye of Chang
It's only natural to start negotiating
According to Alpha
There's other competitors
but Mr. Chang has shown a friendly gesture
which means that
if we can return his favor
He will reveal the reserve price of the bid
all we need is to find a middle man to do the deal
Wayne has already made buddies with Mr. Li
With him acting as the middle man
Mr. Chang will not be too willing to oblige
Here they are
I'll meet Mr. Chang as Wayne's business partner
while Wayne takes you guys to see Mr. Li
Mr. Chang and business partner Mr. Ang are sitting by the window
Alpha's plan is for Gene to be the insider
On both sides
Mr. Ang
My position is that...
Uncle Li, you remember Mr. Ang?
We met at the
Taiwan Glory
Taiwan Glory Party
That's right
Astin and I are good friends
which is why we can pull together this deal
Wayne
you see the thing is that
Don't worry
Mr. Li doesn't know about us
sitting here at this table today
I just wanted to give you the assurance
Don't you worry, Uncle Li
Astin is the only other one who knows
Mr. Chang has never met me
I just wanted to give you assurance
So...
Wayne will do as Mr. Chang said
charging 2%
Astin told me that Mr. Chang would like to charge...
4%
4% is a little high
To tell you the truth
there are other buyers
interested in getting this project
and they don't charge half as much
in commission as you
Waiter
More water please
Action
Regarding the commission
I'm afraid I have no room to budge
Fujiwara-san
Fujiwara-san is a good friend of Astin
I fear he is also here
on behalf of a buyer
Let me go find out why he is here
Fujiwara-san is a big client of ours
Please excuse me
Let me introduce you to each other
This way
What do you think?
I have a bad feeling about this
Fujiwara-san is known to be tough
If we don't make a decision now
we might lose deal to him
Let me introduce you
This is Fuji-san from Tokyo
This is his interpreter
Hello
We meet again! I am Fujiwara
Meet Again! I'm Mr. Fujiwara
His younger brother
I had lots of fun last time in Taiwan
I have great memories of my last trip to Taiwan
Delicious Chinese food...
Delicious Chinese food
Especially dumplings from Ding Tai Fung
And the hostesses in the night clubs
are very hospitable
The vendors in Chinese supermarket
are very friendly
The special services from the hostess
will always linger in my mind
The vendors and their daughters
Give you free onions for buying
Brother
Younger brother speaks some Chinese
Big brother understands
Fuji-san...
Please, don't let me stop you
I am sorry...
Fujiwara-san's purpose this time
is to discuss an agreement
using Wayne and Mr. Li's relationship
If he can get the deal...
Fujiwara-san's price
will not be lower than 4%
and since he's such a good friend of Astin's
I'm afraid...
I'd say your personal gain
will be more than this number
It's just that
if we delay what we are doing now
All right, 5%
Uncle Li
If you give me more time
I'm sure I can...
I'm sure Astin can take care of the extra number
Come
Cheers to the deal
Astin, I am fine with the original number
Mr. Chang
I am not trying to force you into this
Astin
not at all
Mr. Chang you really shouldn't feel forced
Astin Not at all
Cheers then!
Cheers!
Boss
Tomorrow Alpha...
Gump
don't be a party pooper
Boss
Is Alpha really going to show up tomorrow?
It's unusual to work with a good team as you two
The others are in place
You probably have heard that
I'm just a messenger
this deal is really organized
by another "invisible" man
Of course
Usually he would like to be discreet
but this time, he was very impressed by your abilities
and he hopes that in the future
he may work with you more frequently
But like a game, everything has its set of rules
So I'm wondering if you could transfer Li's amount to...
But...
Li's preference is to have the bottom line price revealed first...
Each man has his position, as you know...
Within ten minutes
Mr. Li will wire transfer
Yes! Understood
He'll be right here
tell the people to standby
Go on!
Surprise!
Impossible! I don't believe it!
Ma
When Chang told me how young you are
And I still don't believe
That it's Chief Ouyang
Hush
Are we missing something here?
Don't you realize we've been set up?
This is Alpha's trick
Mickey says that...
there are reporters near by
Top secret
Of course
The document contains the bidding price
Keep it a secret
If this leaks out
The whole national bureau is over
Mission cancelled
What?
Return to bureau
Are we giving up now?
It's wrong time, wrong place, wrong people
Let's head back first
Well, Captain, we meet again
You better leave right now
This is called Freedom of Speech
You don't understand the situation right now
That's why I am here to understand
What are you doing? Stop the camera!
Let me pass, Captain! Don't go over there!
What are you two doing here?
Ex-girlfriend...
And Chief Ouyang!
Put away the camera
Let me handle this!
Didn't I tell you to wait for my call?
But I've been waiting over 2 hours
You asked her to come here?
#5269
You two, get over here!
They are cops?
So am I
I suspect there are illegal dealings going on there
Star, Price
Arrest them now!
Why don't we go back to the bureau first
Do it!
Are you protecting criminals?
Back to the bureau
The official documents
Go get them
What kind of exclusive is this?
You are supposed to wait for my signal
You screwed everything up when you showed up early
This is all your fault! You screwed me over!
You are the one who said, a scoop for a scoop
Otherwise, I would've reported that ex-girlfriend a long time ago
shut up!
And we got an ex-girlfriend because of you too!
Where is Alpha?
If I tell you, you'll die of shock
Gene Wu
Let's split up
pretend nothing has happened
Be careful
and wait for my call
Wait!
What?
Nothing
Wait!
What?
But I don't even know who you are?
Turn on the TV tomorrow
What?
Remember to watch TV
Buddy!
Don't do this!
Do what?
Let's go back to the bureau and talk
If we go back there's nothing left to say
I am sure there is a misunderstanding
Why don't you ask your boss?
If you don't come back with me I'm going to get the blame
I'm guilty either way...
I have responsibilities...
I am not going back
We'll see about that!
I'm issuing a warrant
But Sir,
he is one of our guys
an undercover?
Whoever tries to scam national security will be prosecuted no matter what!
Who sent him?
I did
I will deal with you after I'm done with him
then may I ask why the Police Chief such as you
has personal contact with a criminal?
Privately?
I am the victim here
Get out!
Police reports that
Gene Wu
AKA Wayne Wu
formerly head of an international enterprise
Is now charged with committing fraud, document forgery
and national security breach, and other crimes
He is now wanted
and we hope the general public
will assist the police in catching the suspect as soon as possible
We can see that the police department
has issued a warrant foe Wayne Wu
AKA Gene Wu
Though Gene Wu may be a nobody
Wayne Wu
As the public remembers
gained publicity recently
due to the "kiss" incident with
News anchor J.C. Chang
From our source
J.C. Chang has taken a one week break
Yes... I heard
and her house has also been locked for days
Here's the live report outside her house
Thanks
Captain
I don't have the answer you want
In fact, the answer is in...
the Police Chief's office
Shut up!
Hello
Hey, it's me
Where are you?
You wanted Alpha more than me
but you must have been more surprised than I was
When you saw the "special guest"
I said shut up!
Nevertheless...
as a dance partner
you're not bad
Don't cross the line!
Prince
Leave!
Please leave
I told you to wait for my call
Do you think you have a direct line?
I had a zillion phone calls today
I saw it on TV
Now you're really ruined by me!
Now you realize!
You don't suspect me?
A little
So this phone call
Is about trust?
Of course not
I have an exclusive for you
Just because you happen to have some information
Doesn't mean you can go free
I have evidence to prosecute all of you guys
Whenever I want
Frankly speaking, the chairperson of our corporation
was actually sent by Captain yourself
If you don't mind my saying so
We're co-workers after all
J.C.
Excuse me
Excuse me, please let me through
What do you think about Gene Wu's case?
I just feel very hungry right now
You guys have been here for the whole day
So I haven't eaten anything at all
Can you talk about your relationship with Mr. Wu?
There is no relationship
How much do you know about Wayne Wu before this incident?
As little as you know about him
Excuse me
How long have you known Mr. Wu?
We don't know each other, sorry
Can you describe your relationship with Mr. Wu?
I just said it
there is no relationship
Dear viewers
back to the headline news
news anchor J.C. Chang has cancelled her holiday
and returned to work
Returned to broadcast, J.C. Chang
Returns to her post tonight
After last night's commotion
J.C. Chang cancels her holiday
the Wayne Wu case finally
has new information
Welcome back to Dynasty news
I am J.C. Chang
The recent Wayne Wu case
finally has a breakthrough today
an anonymous civilian dropped a DVD
at our news station last night
The content of the DVD shows that suspect Wayne Wu
currently on the run, is being tortured
and on the memo, the title is marked
"corruption breeds corruption"
Additional reports follow
These unbearable images of Gene Wu's bruises
make one wonder if indeed there is a bigger story
behind the Wayne Wu case
What do you want?
No
What do YOU want?
It is simple
I want to be a good guy
You pushed me into this
What are the terms?
I will return you the official document
Or I can Xerox it into flyers
Release my friends
It was supposed to be Alpha
How did it become Chief Ouyang?
Insiders screwing insiders
I'm not buying anything anymore
Wrong
If Chief Ouyang is indeed Alpha
he wouldn't have gotten himself into his mess
there's somebody else
Captain
We finished the portrait of Alpha
Alpha
you're under arrest
Who's Alpha?
Then how do you explain
these photographs?
Explain!
If I remember correctly
This is that weird encounter I had few years back on my business trip
There was a soldier that was in a hurry to get back to the camp
So he needed my help to pass on this package to someone else
Do you still remember that army guy's face?
Follow me
Bye, Captain
It's me
The money from Li's
Who took care of the 200 accounts used for the laundering?
My secretary, Chen
He must have gone to a dealer with such short time
There's only one dollar left in each account
200 Hundred dollars can't save you
Impossible!
All the accounts have spare codes
The money was taken out the same day it was deposited
How is it possible?
How can 200 bank accounts be cleared out in one night
Nobody can do it!
You just keep thinking
There's nothing I can do when people up there can't get their money
Just you?
It's the weekend, the others are home
Like real
This time we're so close to getting it
The board is pleased with your performance
and even told me to give you guys a bonus
So we got money?
Every penny
The board says that Alpha is pleased
Alpha does not exist
Captain
I did my job and now I'm supposed to be innocent
but I'm not innocent at all
I've been a wanted criminal for 5 days and now detained
and everybody knows my alter ego act
this is a procedure need to go through
we won't let you have a criminal record
thanks for your hard work
so you're kicking me out?
What about Alpha Ouyang...
It was a pleasure to work with you
Give me a hug!
Hug!
That's enough
He likes you
You too
You get a gift
Xerox copy of the documents?
Contact Internal Affairs
What are you doing? Cleaning up?
Reorganizing the ex-employee database
Cookie!
The whole Chief Ouyang being arrested
has caused a big storm in our circle
I think that...
Astin! Astin?
Wayne Wu's identity is a mystery
He used to be an extra for many commercials
And as a comedian on variety shows
From a nobody to a notorious most wanted criminal
Wondered if that's what he had expected
from his life as a thespian
Ma, I want all the photographs
Sunrise Enterprise scandal has a major breakthrough today
the ex Police Chief Ouyang is now under questioning for insider trading
According to the prosecutors
The level of involvement may be higher
And the 30 billion dollars worth of rebates
Has been proven to be taken by an anonymous person
What's wrong?
Gene Wu identity No. A120...
Birthday
February 29, 1975
What?
Captain
these are the unclear pictures
Captain
There are only two Gene Wu's in Taiwan
One is 83 years old
and the other one is 6 years old
I also celebrate my birthday every four years
But February 1975
has no 29th day
Where is Alpha?
If I tell you, you'll die of shock
Gift for you
I have been waiting over 2 hours
You asked her to come here?
The board says that he knows the whole thing
He was there himself
Alpha is discreet and never works with the same people
To do a deal
he needs to find a new team
Genesis
Genesis means the beginning, before anything
Before anything was... nothing. Nothing means... nothing
If I am nothing, you can't see me
And if you can't see me, then... I don't exist
I am an actor
As long you don't keep me on record
I'm will play any role!
