Go get him! You want me to shoot you?
Ok. I'll go.
Boss.
Has Gold come?
Not yet. but Unicorn wants more money.
I've paid him already. What's the matterwith him?
He keeps losing.
He puts his gun on the table and sells it for 10 grand...
Bastard!
Fuck!
What makes you so angry?
Gold, that bastard Unicorn...
puts the gun on the table again!
He is a worthless piece of shit...
but listen to me...
Don't fuck up people...
especially those who are one of us.
He is my friend.
How are you?
Bastard. You are always late...
Just a coincidence. Come on, get up...
Why beat him so badly?
Have a cigarette.
Lend me one grand.
You know my wife never lets me have that much pocket money,
OK. then HK$200... you have HK$200.
Well, I only have HK$20 in my pocket.
I only have this much, Okay?
You're a joke.
That's all I got.
Are you okay?
Take this gun.
Take care.
Be careful.
What're you looking at?
What're you eating?
Why don't you go?
Give me fried dough sticks and a bowl of congee with pig blood,
Okay....
That son of a bitch, Gold!
I'll remember you.
Your congee.
It's over. Internal injury...
It's all over.
Hey, you...
Come over here.
What's up. sir?
The pig blood looks raw.
Sir, there is no blood when I took this congee to you,
What? You mean I frame you by...
coughing up all these blood?
I didn't say it.
I'm gonna shut your place down.
No! Please, don't, sir.
I'll give you another bowl, okay?
Move your shop somewhere else.
Please don't, sir.
I'll give you money, okay?
You think I really spitted blood?
How about HK$500?
500?
I earn less than a hundred a day.
Alright, You are pathetic. Give me the money.
Go,
Go to hell!
Shit! Shanghai gal is having an affair!
What a pretty car!
What's up?
Son of a bitch! You fuck my wife...
You can't beat him!
Why can't I?
I'll extort him for a million!
A million! Do you dare?
It's him?
Don't you know it is a felony attacking your boss?
But you...you and she...
NO! You got it wrong- you kicked open my door.
pushed this woman on my bed and framed me.
You...how could you...
OK...I'll let it go, I saw nothing,
Go get changed...let's go.
Have some tea!
We're leaving.
You two?
2?
Tea?
No, I...
I'll have some tea.
The ICAC guys are crazy.
Following us every day and night.
Detective Kong is disturbed.
Get some thugs to do something for me.
Gold. go ahead tell me.
Rest Without Peace
Doctor, how long does it take for him to return to normal?
He has a nervous breakdown.
He should rest for 6 months to 1 year.
Thank you.
Sir...
I quit.
Why?
I can't stand it.
I have a poodle named Babe.
It's with me for many years.
I clean him and play with him every day.
And I love him.
I've been busy lately and my mom took him out one day.
someone grabbed him and got away.
At night a box came.
I opened it...
It's Babe...
Do you know...
that he was totally fried.
(Next Turn: Your Mother)
Honey...
What's up?
Dad, I'm scared.
What are you scared of?
What a breezy apartment!
So it's you, Inspector Yim from the ICAC.
What do you want?
Nothing. I walked down this street.
and saw that your home look a bit awkward.
Thank you!
Yes, have you called the police?
We are the police.
Oh! Yes!
Do help me.
Sure, I'll help you when I have time.
Don't be rude.
Some day it will be your turn!
Let's go! We're not scared...
Let's go...
Gale. see when he has time, I do love to play a football match with him.
Sir.
You've time to go fishing here?
What else can I do?
Got any big fish?
Not even a little shrimp.
You're too big a talent to spend your time fishing.
Excuse me, but who are you?
I am Yim, with the ICAC.
ICAC...
Why me?
Why do you go after me?
I'm not here to get you.
I want you to help us.
To be honest.
I am the black sheep...
in the police force.
How can I help you?
It is because you are a corrupt cop that I need your help.
Are you serious?
I am dead serious.
All my fellow workmates are fresh graduates from the university.
They're too innocent.
They are scared stiff by the crooks.
They never expect the enemies to be so vile.
I need someone to teach them how to be as vile as their enemies.
Hey, I'm a cop too.
Yes, I'm corrupted, but I'm still a cop.
You want me to work for the ICAC? You want me to betray my fella?
Well, how much can you pay me?
I'm not earning big paychecks, but I have other "fringe benefits".
I earn more than you.
We cannot offer you a higher salary.
But we can give you one thing that they can't give you.
ICAC can give you...
What is the big deal?
The dignity a man should have.
I know you had antagonized Lak,
that is why you're demoted.
They did not like you, right?
I can't blame anyone.
I am a degenerate gambler and an alcoholic...
Kick those bad habits, and join the ICAC...
That is the only way you can hold your head high again.
I can't.
I can't. They will murder me...
What difference does it make? You may as well be dead now.
The thugs feared you when you were a cop.
Do they fear you now?
Now you are a nobody.
why not do something big with me?
OK. Let me think about it.
What a big fish!
I've been fishing here for months but I never catch a fish that big.
Will you listen to me then?
You'll get a big fish if you have patience.
I'll meet you in the ICAC Headquarters tomorrow at 9.
No!
9 am is too early. I can't get up that early.
10 am then.
I feel strong in the setting sun.
Needn't fearthe dark after sunset.
Tomorrow is another day.
Let us help and encourage each other.
Then we fear no one...
How much horse power does your heating system have?
This is central air conditioning,
Add one more air conditioner.
What's the power of this light bulb?
40 watts,
Replace it with a 700 watts light bulb. I want 2 of them.
But there are no light bulbs of 700 watts.
What's this?
Coffee, sir.
For you or the suspects?
Can anyone answer me?
I don't drink coffee, sir.
Go buy all kinds of coffee beans available.
Listen. All different kinds of coffee beans.
No matter how they taste like.
Damn...
Such awful coffee!
Smells like cat shit! Who bought it?
It's me, sir.
Sorry. Strictly speaking, this is for seeding my flowers.
Bingo! This is the kind of coffee that I want.
Buy up all you can find right away.
Yes, Sir.
Son of a bitch. Why wake me up at midnight?
Stop it! I have given you all the money you need...
Who's ringing the bell? Son of a bitch!
Leave it. The maid will open the door.
Who's it?
Master. someone's looking for you.
Who? Son of a bitch.
He said he's from the ICAC.
Fuck you! What do you come here for?
We're from the ICAC.
I want you, Mr. Chu. to assist in our investigation.
Unicorn?
You've joined the ICAC?
Mr. Chu, you have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used...
against you in the court of law.
Sir...
That's fine.
Help me also...
Shit!
Why is it so cold here?
It's wet. Hand me a towel.
Sorry, we don't have any towels.
I only have 2 paper napkins.
Please wait. So...
He's shivering.
Sure,
Last evening I used a thermometer to measure the temperature of the room. 12 degrees Celsius.
What should we do now?
Wait a bit longer.
Come on--interrogate me, I demand to see your boss.
He's tidying things up. Please wait for a while.
Don't leave me!
Turn off the air-con. It's cold.
Our air-con is set at this temperature. There is nothing I can do.
Drink some coffee and you'll feel warmer.
I know nothing...
Let me sleep for a while.
Are you the "collector"? Do you work for Lak?
Do you collect all the protection money?
Collect from...
gambling houses. narcotics distribution centers...
and brothels?
You'd better kill me,
ICAC officers don't kill people.
Do you distribute the protection money by...
the ratio of 3-2-1, 0.5, 3.5,
to every policeman in Hong Kong?
Let me sleep for a while, please...
We will let you sleep once you answer all my questions.
Let me tell you, We already arrested Limp last night.
He will confess everything even if you keep your mouth shut.
You liar!
Limp has fucking moles in every precinct!
He will be the first to know once a warrant is issued.
The Marine Police arrested him last night, took him...
to Headquarters, where he was interrogated by the Chief Sutcliffe himself.
No one knows anything before the arrest.
Mr. Henderson.
ICAC.
This is our warrant.
We're with the ICAC.
Mr. Lak Chui, please assist in our investigation.
Mr. Lak Chui. please clean your ass...
and come with us to Hutchinson House.
Waiter...
2 bottles of beer.
Gale. why do you drink so much today?
I'm in a bad mood.
You're a nice guy. Don't worry.
God will take care of you.
They've arrested Lak today.
I've heard about it.
Sooner or later, they're gonna come and get me.
Unicorn worked for them.
That bastard knows all about the syndicate.
They will come and get me.
Gale, leave.
Once I leave this place, I may never be able to come again,
Have you transferred all your money overseas?
Apple's handling it,
How can you trust Apple?
She's my wife.
With such a large amount of money. your right hand cannot trust your left hand.
Why don't you leave with me?
I'm gonna leave in a couple of days.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I never think of leaving with you.
Let's split up.
Why?
You don't... want me to be with you?
Honestly, I don't.
Have I done something wrong?
I can change,
You...
You've fallen in love with the wrong woman.
I stayed with you...
because I need your protection.
Lak is not trustworthy, And he is too bad-tempered,
I can't stand him,
neither the Brits.
You're kind-hearted and popular.
As long as I'm with you, no one is gonna fuck with me.
That's why I've stayed with you all these years.
Remember how I was attacked in this restaurant...
It was a setup.
I hired those thugs to attack me...
and put the blame on Congee.
So I have been a fool all along.
You're a good man. Gale.
I don't want to lie to you.
I never regret being your woman.
but I don't love you,
I don't wanna lie to you for the rest of our life,
Hope you'll have a good life.
Gale. where're you going?
Leave me alone! Go away!
Rose...
Rose, why did you lie to me?
Why me?
Good Heavens!
Are you all right?
Why am I here?
Rose called me.
She said you were drunk in the restaurant, I took you back home.
Never mention that woman's name again.
She's a nice person.
I tell you not to mention her name ever again!
Mom, dad scolded you...
No, Dad's joking.
I want to have fun with Dad too.
Sure,
Come on, Pearl.
Come here.
You're a big girl now.
Let's go to sleep together, shall we?
Eyes closed? Are you asleep?
This is the first time I sleep with you and our daughter.
You've spent the night in this house only twice.
Ain't I great? I spent 2 nights here and have a daughter.
She'll hear it.
Dad has come twice...
and has a daughter. WOW!
Aren't you asleep?
Honey...
Will you come with me if I have to leave?
I shall always follow my husband,
wherever he goes.
But all these years I've spent only 2 nights with you...
You're still willing to follow me?
Let bygones be bygones.
I know you've been busy all the time.
Well,
I'll swear that for the rest of my life.
I will stay with you.
What's the matter?
I'm so happy!
Me too.
Really happy.
Hello?
Gale. it's for you.
Who the heck knows I am here?
Who is it?
How about that?
I call your 9 wives but you're with the 10th.
What's up?
Lak is out and wants to meet us.
Where?
At the football field.
Damn!
It's yours!
Take a rest... stop it!
I'm resting... get lost!
Is somebody watching us?
Sure,
Some guy is taking photos right there.
The couple at the back too.
Unicorn is a fucking rat!
I'm gonna fuck him good!
I've got news that London means business this time.
They wanna gonna hang us.
Also, Godber has already gone overseas.
Those bastards are after us!
I must teach them a lesson, or I am not Lak!
Lak.
There is no point talking about it now. How about...
compromising the ICAC?
Are you sick?
Compromise them?
How?
I wish to kick them all to hell!
No way. Lak. Henry said that...
London means business.
Hong Kong is still under British rule.
They can take away our power any time.
Let's call it a day. Lak.
Who do you think you are?
You don't take orders from me any more?
I tell you, I want them both go to hell tonight!
What're you watching?
Come on- let's play ball.
Kick off...
You better take care!
Why are you so happy? Yes.
Be on time tomorrow.
Cheers.
Cheers!
Chief. I must dedicate this toast to you,
Thank you for turning us kids...
into adults within these months.
Thank you. Chief!
You guys gotta drink up.
Bottoms up,
Yeah... Alright...
Bottoms up.
Great!
I'm going to say something.
Wait... Listen to me.
Don't talk dirty.
No, I won't...
I only want to say one thing about...
our chief,
What is that? That's...
He's a jolly good fellow!
Yeah! The Chief is a jolly good fellow!
Cheers. Chief.
I've got paid.
So early? It's only the 12th.
I've finally got my self esteem back.
Come on!
Thanks.
You're welcome.
Everybody! Listen up.
Although we have arrested and charged...
many gangsters and cops who take their bribes,
it'll be a long time before...
they'll be put behind bars.
We must stay focused and determined.
Right?
Right!
There is an operation tomorrow.
Let's go home and rest after this drink.
What a drunk!
See you. Chief.
See you. Go home and get some rest.
Hey... where're you going?
I'll give you a lift. My car is right over there.
Thanks but I'll go by myself...
I am okay.
You sure you don't want me to drive you?
No.
Goodbye, Chief, Go home. Don't linger around.
You think you're Jesus?
Then I'm your mother Mary.
Hail Mary, go home.
Are you okay. Chief?
Yes, sure...
Something is wrong...
Which way should I go?
Sir...
Call the ambulance!
Chief...
Open the door, Chief.
Open the goddamn door.
Open the door and let us in.
What's happened?
Sir, he has locked himself up.
Tang, this is Thomas, open the door.
Get lost! He doesn't deserve to die!
I'm also sorry about the incident.
But you shouldn't lock yourself up,
Open the door! NOW!
Go away! They fucking kill me if I open the door!
Sir...
You're suspended from duties!
No, Sir...
No... don't say a goddamn word!
Chief Tang lost his mind after the death of Yim...
and was suspended from duties.
But our morale is still high.
But then something unpredictable happened...
Chief Tang got a phone call at home.
Hello?
Hon, it's me.
That bastard beat me up.
I miss you, hon.
2 weeks later, we made remarkable progress.
Henry's willing to be the prosecution witness.
Now Henry's become a prosecution witness. What can we do?
Don't think I'm a fool.
I'm going overseas tonight.
You both come with me.
I don't want anyone to stay behind and become prosecution witnesses.
I'm not prepared, though.
Your money's all transferred overseas,
Yes...
What else do you need? With money, you can start a new life.
How about your wife?
She's gone overseas with my kids this afternoon.
I don't want others to know where I'm going.
So...
So let's go.
I'll go home to pack and leave some money for my kids,
Where do we board tonight?
Sam Mun Tsai.
See you tonight.
See you.
Gale.
Don't think about staying here. You have no option.
You'd be killed.
I'll go home and pack up.
Just take a few things.
My dear husband, it's time to part, I've taken our son with me.
Please don't blame me and take care of yourself. Goodbye.
Damn it!
Goddamn it!
I thought it only happened in the movies...
Take the money and run...
It really happens to me.
Good Heavens...
What have I done wrong?
Why do they all betray me?
All of my wives...
all left me.
Why does fate play such a sick joke upon me?
I burnt incense sticks and paid respect to the heavens.
I don't deserve this!
Gale.
Oh! It is you...
You're still here? You have not left me.
I won't leave you.
I'm scared.
I think everyone has forsaken me.
I'm so scared.
Don't be scared.
No matterwhat happens...
I will never leave you,
How do you know I'm here?
Apple called me up and asked me to take care of you.
Then I know something happens.
She took away all my money...
now I've got nothing left,
Lak asked me to leave with him tonight...
It's okay...I have some money.
I do.
You have money?
I've been with you for 10 years,
You gave me HK$3,000 every month. I saved up HK$2,500 each time.
I've got 300 grand here. Take it.
Honey...
Gale. this money is yours.
I'm just saving it up for you.
What will you do then?
I can still work...
and bring up our little girl. Don't you worry.
So long as you don't forget us.
Then I'm happy.
I have not treated you well.
I even forgot your name.
My name is May.
I am May.
May.
Why are you so good to me?
Because I love you.
From day one...
I've been loving you.
I just... don't have the chance to tell you.
How stupid I am.
I've neglected the woman who loves me most.
I will return to get you and our daughter.
Lak, the boat has arrived.
Damn, Where's Gale? Why hasn't he arrived yet?
Has he defected to the ICAC?
He is not that kind of person...
Let me go over there and...
tell the boat to come nearer.
Shit! Why did it have to happen now?
What can I do?
Gale...
Hurry up. The boat is here!
Do the heavens tell me to stay behind?
Gale. you're very late!
The boat's arrived. Let's go.
Gold...
What? Lak's waiting. He is very impatient...
Let's go...
Here he comes...
Lak, here he comes.
Fuck you!
You asshole! How come you are late?
Why don't you listen to me and come on time?
That is all you've got?
How can you survive with this little bit of money?
My 9 wives took all my money. This is all I've got.
Idiota! Betrayed by women,
Quick!
Yes, Lak, I'm a moron...
All these years you're the one who promoted me. Without you, I am nobody.
I myself don't deserve to have so much money.
The heavens took them away from me. I have no complaints.
But I don't want to lose the small amount of money I have.
Are you nuts? What're you talking about?
I come to thank you for adopting me as your protege.
I've made up my mind, I'm not gonna go with you.
Please let me stay behind. Lak.
You wanna be a traitor?
I would never sell you out. Never!
I'll only confess my own crimes.
I'm gonna go to jail for a few years and start over.
Please let me stay.
Let you stay?
What about me?
Easy...
Fuck off!
Don't force me... Lak! Don't!
All these years. you treat me like a running dog.
I did not complain.
You've dumped all your mistresses on me and I took them all to be my wives.
Now let me keep my only hope...
Will you?
Put down your gun!
Okay...
Stay calm... or we're both gonna die!
Calm down... OK...we are buddies.
Let's talk.
Yes... you wanna talk?
You're pointing the gun at me?
Bastard...
I'm gonna shoot you right here, right now!
Don't! If you shoot him...
We won't get pass the Marine Police before we reach the high seas,
Fai, call someone to come here...
dig a hole and bury him!
What?
What do you mean "what"?
Go!
You hear me? Go!
Hey! Come over here!
Hey! Lots of money here.
A few hundred thousand.
You prick!
Help...
I was shot...
Where's your gun?
No? You don't carry your gun with you?
Fuck you!
Gale...
Please let me go...
Don't kill me...
It is I who promoted you...
I promise I'll never come back once I have gone overseas...
I won't hurt you, Let me go.
I won't hurt you...
Don't kill me. Let me go...
Gale...
Thank you... thank you Gale...
Gold? It's you?
What're you doing here?
I wondered who comes for me. It is you. Goat!
I... I came out for a walk...
got mugged, and shot.
Call the ambulance to take me to hospital.
But a warrant has been issued for your arrest.
What? Who dares to arrest me? Morons.
Excuse me, then.
Guys, fucking cuff him.
Wait wait wait...wait.
I helped your nephew last time.
I remember.
My wife's sister slept with some man and gave birth to that bastard,
What a coincidence!
It is that bastard who issues the warrant.
But you owe me a favor.
Well then. Gold.
How about I owe you 2 favors?
T ake him back!
Detective Chan. everyone says you're a nice man among corrupt crooks,
You've done the least evil.
But why don't you be the prosecution witness?
If you give evidence against them.
you can get out of jail in a year or 2.
I will only admit...
my own crimes.
But I won't give evidence against anyone.
All the corrupt policemen...
were arrested by the ICAC one by one.
Apart from Godber, Lak and Kong.
Henry and others were all busted.
Everyone panicked.
because then over 90% of policemen took bribes...
or failed to report corruption.
If the law was strictly enforced, almost every policeman would have to go to jail.
Finally, a mass protest took place.
A swarm of policemen stormed the ICAC headquarters in Hutchison House.
On that night. some protesters...
made a hazardous and irrational suggestion that...
the Police Force should go on strike for 72 hours.
during which they would refuse to maintain law and order.
They even set fire to the ICAC branches. and surrounded the Government House.
In such an emergency. the Governor Sir MacLehose...
requested London to declare a partial amnesty...
for all minor corruptions committed...
before January 1st, 1977.
All corruptions committed after that day would be prosecuted.
The unrest was finally over...
so was the Empire of corruption.
I was sent to jail for 4 years, but I was quite contented about that.
Gold was sentenced to 5 years in jail.
He likes to dance on the playground.
Henry became the prosecution witness and was jailed for 10 months.
As he's a Brit. he can eat steaks in jail.
Beef steaks today, pal?
Harder than a rock!
I have curry chicken.
Let's exchange.
After 10 months, Henry was released from jail and went on a trip.
Dad...
3 and a half years later, I was released on parole...
for good behavior. and lived...
with my 4th wife for the rest of my life.
Pearl.
Subtitles: Arigon
After I got out of jail. I couldn't say there's no more corruption in Hong Kong.
but at least not as rampant as in the 1950 and 1960s,
The empire of corruption was crushed and gone forever,
