Any word from Sam?
Sam called me. He said he was fine.
He asked you to wait for him here.
Where are your folks?
All emigrated.
You didn't go with them?
Let's go, Sam! The police are coming!
Let's go!
You know you're not going to make it.
I know.
My girl's in danger in Hong Kong too.
Please help me.
Why should I?
'Cause I'll help you whack your boss.
I know you want to be in charge.
Moreover...
I've been treating you as a pal.
Don't believe him, Sam! Don't!
Get lost.
- Don't believe him! - Get lost!
Sorry, Sam.
Are you here to arrest me?
If you're going to kill Hau, I will.
Then there's nothing to talk about.
I spoke with my superiors.
They're with you all the way this time.
How?
I conspired in murder.
Even the Brits agree that we can't let the triads break us.
The whole department's behind you.
Good enough?
Where's your deck of cards?
The highest card wins.
I'm calling the shots. Come back with me to the department.
The car key.
Forget it. I screwed up. No need to drag everyone down with me.
We found this deck on our first outing together.
You've been keeping it all this time.
I knew that all along.
I've let you get your way in the past.
It's your turn to listen for once.
We're like brothers. Think I'm just gonna be a spectator?
Law's my snitch in the Ngai Family.
He hasn't contacted me for days.
Neither has Yan.
The car key.
Help!
Help! Get some help!
Why? Why?
Why did you lie to me?
I didn't.
Something happened to Sam.
I told you I was a simple woman.
I have to do something for my husband.
I'm going to Thailand.
Please don't go.
Forget it. You don't have to follow us anymore.
I mean, I don't want you to go.
You've been with Sam for years.
Has it occurred to you...
Maybe Sam's dead.
What did you say?
I can take care of you.
What are you doing?
I don't want you to go.
You're out of line!
Listen up.
I'm your boss' woman.
Don't let me see your face again.
She will go to the airport tonight...
Hello? Hello?
I'm the one who killed Kwun.
A man treats me well. I'd do anything.
Time
File number IO3142.
About Inspector Wong conspiring in murder.
This is the 11th internal hearing.
Inspector Wong, do you have any questions?
No...
No.
On April 11, 1995,
the department received this tape
accusing you of conspiring with the triads in a murder.
I confess, sir.
What happened to you?
If I told you
that the evidence couldn't stand...
...would you like to start over?
I'm sorry. I broke the law.
I'm grateful to all of you.
But I've got no confidence left. I lost.
What about Luk then?
Can you face him if you give up now?
The war's not over.
All we want is a closure to this incident.
Hong Kong is not run by the Ngai Family.
Here's a file from Interpol.
Read it before your make up your mind.
Ever been to a funeral in Thailand?
A few months ago...
I had one for my wife.
The monks chanted for three full days.
During those three days, I didn't shed a single tear.
On the day of the burial...
...they left the casket in the living room.
I was mad. I wanted to beat them up.
The monk told me...
...it's a tradition in Thailand.
The deceased...
...as long as we keep her company...
...for a little while longer...
...she can attain eternal peace.
But I asked the monk...
...what if my wife was not in the coffin?
Could she still attain eternal peace?
Sorry about your wife.
The monk placed his hand here.
He said, "No problem.
Your wife's here."
And here's exactly...
...where the Thais shot me.
So I told myself...
I've passed the point of no return.
Testifying against Hau in Hong Kong could be dangerous.
I believe in you. You're so handsome.
Haven't heard that for ages. Thanks.
What's your plan?
Just trying to do my best.
No big deal. It's my job.
I'll leave Hong Kong when it's all over.
Hey, you!
You've changed.
Baby!
You diluted the coke, didn't you?
Got anything to say?
Take it all then.
Don't go too far, Yan.
It'd break the boys' morale.
Mr. Ngai asked me to be in charge here.
Don't like it? Drive him to the hospital.
No matter what, they're elders after all.
You've got lots to learn from them.
Uncle John will retire in a few years.
You know what I mean?
I don't need any hiccups now.
The Labor Athletic Association is hosting a dinner reception
for us Political Consultative candidates.
If everything works out,
our family will no longer live in the shadows.
Mr. Cheung.
Mr. Ngai.
How are you?
When Solicitor Hung mentioned you,
I didn't believe him.
You're amazingly young, Mr. Ngai.
What's your Zodiac sign?
Ox.
The Year of the Ox.
Ox is good.
Director Chan likes young people.
I'll introduce you later. Thanks.
Really?
Director Chan said he hated the triads.
That's right, Officer Leung.
Mr. Ngai's been invited to consult with the police.
Really? Congratulations.
Where do you golf these days, Chan?
- Zhong Shan. - What's your handicap these days?
How are you? My name's Ngai...
Mr. Ngai Wing-Hau.
I'm Mr. Ngai's solicitor.
Tonight's a celebration for HK's hand-over.
All other business can wait.
What if I say no?
Got any problem with that?
Mr. Ngai, you're a suspect in several murder cases in 1995.
Here's a warrant. You're under arrest.
Everything you say will be recorded
and could be used as evidence against you. Do you have any questions?
No.
I looked through their files.
The murder charges won't stand.
But your being a triad boss...
That one will stick.
The unions and the political parties called.
They want to withdraw their invitations.
Word from the HK and Macau Affairs Office.
They have revoked your candidacy.
Call Beijing. Get some friends to help.
Let me try.
Forget it.
They even found a dead man to testify against you.
Everyone knows how loyal Sam was to you.
Now he's a prosecution witness. It's over.
Sorry. Can't help you.
You said there'd be no problem.
Everyone's watching how we will react.
What are you going to do?
What can I do? Threaten the Chinese government?
Don't take it the wrong way.
We're all in the same boat.
Time for me to get out then.
I'm just a lawyer. Not one of you.
I don't intend to sink with you. Sorry.
Yes.
Sam has a wife and daughter in Thailand.
It's your call.
Sis.
You and the brothers should take Mom and go to Hawaii for a while.
Yes.
Okay. Haven't been there for a while.
Are you going to be all right?
I'll be fine.
Sorry I can't help the family.
- The key thing now is you turn out okay. - Don't be silly. We're a family.
Take care of Mom.
Don't worry. Leave it to us three.
Even with my testimony,
Hau will only get a couple years.
It's true.
He'll have to whack you to get life.
I have to thank you.
Without you, I could never have come back to Hong Kong.
Save it. I'm busy these days.
Anything you need, ask them.
They'll protect you.
I know.
Sam.
Thanks.
So, how's it going?
Good. Been transferred to the CIB.
I'll be an Inspector-in-Training next month.
Did Mary call you...
...before she left?
Don't be too hard on yourself, Sam.
Inspector Wong said to find you if I needed anything.
Will you really help me?
I thought you wouldn't come.
Why's that?
So here we are.
It's been two years.
Because of my father's case,
you didn't dare to call me for two years?
You couldn't face me?
Right.
All you need to nail Hau is in the safe.
I've organized the files according to date.
Why do you still help me?
I'm not helping you.
I'm a cop.
I want to keep my promise to Officer Luk.
And I don't want to be a mole anymore.
Two more years and I'll become the top dog in Tsim Sha Tsui.
What for? To end up in prison?
Let's bury the past.
Just finish up my case and bring me back into the department.
Give me a decent desk.
Make sure it has a sea view.
And don't let me see your face again.
Don't worry. You won't see me anymore.
One more thing.
I couldn't spell some of the words.
Come find me if you don't understand.
But don't mess up the order.
I'll kill you if you mess that up.
That's great. Put me out of misery.
You wish.
Thank you, Officer.
Sum, we're all set. The trial will start in three days.
Hello, OCTB.
Inspector Wong. Sam's gone.
He escaped through the kitchen.
Who was guarding the kitchen?
Sorry, sir.
Officer Wong, Sam made a call to Thailand before he escaped.
Hello?
Mr. Ngai.
What do you want from me?
You called me.
So tell me how you can help me.
Am I right? Sit down.
Kill me.
Kill me and it's all over.
Why should I?
Haven't done that kind of stuff for ages.
Everything can be negotiated, Sam.
Hong Kong's big enough for us both, Sam.
We can even be partners.
Let's forget about the past.
You will kill me.
You'll kill me tonight.
But who's gonna take care of your family?
Just in. Hau has Sam's wife and daughter as hostages.
That's his Thai maid.
I managed to stay alive all these years.
It's all because...
I have some good buddies in Thailand.
You want to take this call.
It's from Hawaii.
Your whole family's there.
My Thai buddies, too.
Daddy. Where are you?
Mr. Ngai.
Shut up.
You'll whack me tonight. I told you so.
Police! Freeze! Freeze!
Put it down, Ngai Wing-Hau!
Let him!
He tried to kill me once before.
Let him do it again.
Officers!
After he shoots me...
...it'll be your call to shoot him or not!
What goes around comes around.
Two questions.
Did you kill his whole family?
Of course not.
My Thai buddies and I were just bluffing.
Did you expect me to kill him for you?
Would you believe me if I said no?
I expected to die here!
It was my only way.
Sorry.
Did you know how hard I worked
to collect tons of evidence
to put him away for life?
Who's this? How are you?
The Thai guy, Sam.
Paul.
Thank you.
Everything went according to plan.
We're now partners.
The cocaine will ship straight to HK without any middlemen from now on.
Should I take care of the rest of the Ngai Family?
Paul...
Maybe we shouldn't go too far.
It was destiny that you bumped into me.
Otherwise you would've been killed.
We were destined to be partners when my gun failed to kill you.
Forget you ever knew the meaning of "too far."
The hand-over ceremony of Hong Kong
commenced earlier at 11:20.
Both countries' anthems were played.
A British flag rose up in the hall.
The ceremony was dignified.
Yet it had its share of relaxed moments before its commencement.
When both countries' marching bands played.
some Chinese representatives took pictures.
Prince Charles and Governor Patten were smiling.
As the ceremony officially commenced...
...three British soldiers and three Chinese ones
marched slowly onto the podium.
The Chinese soldiers displayed the PRC flag.
Following their lead.
three HK Royal Police officers
emerged with three HK SAR police officers.
The three SAR officers displayed
the HK SAR flag to the honorable guests.
And now. all the guests have risen.
It was exactly midnight.
The arrival of July 1. 1997.
The PRC flag rose up with the HK SAR flag...
...marking the end of the colonial era.
It also signified the beginning
of the "One Country. Two Systems" policy.
The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
of the People's Republic of China has been established.
Okay. It's a deal. Come join me.
You know what kind of boss is the worst?
The ugly boss.
Look at everything. Look how I shine.
What's your name, miss?
I'm Ma...
Mary.
M-A...
M-A-Y...
M-A-R-Y.
