Sir, there is no blood when I took this congee to you.

coughing up aII these bIood?
I didn't say it.
I'll shut down your shop.
No! PIease, don't, sir.
I'll give you another bowl, okay?
Move your shop somewhere eIse.
Please don't, sir.
I'll give you money, okay?
You think I reaIIy spitted bIood?
How about $500?
500?
I earn less than a hundred a day.
Alright. You are pathetic. Give me the money.
Go.
Go to hell!
Shit! Shanghai gaI 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 l?
I'll extort him for a miIIion!
A miIIion! Do you dare?
It's him?
Don'tyou 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. l saw nothing.
Go get changed...Iet's go.
Have some tea!
We're Ieaving.
You two?
Two?
Tea?
No, l...
I'll have some tea.
The lCAC guys are crazy.
Following us every day and night.
Detective Kong is disturbed.
Get some thugs to do something for me.
GoId, go ahead tell me.
Rest Without Peace
Doctor, how Iong does it take for him to return to normal?
He has a nervous breakdown.
He should rest for 6 months to one 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 pIay with him every day.
And I love him.
I've been busy IateIy 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...
he was burned.
(NextTurn: Your Mother)
Honey...
What's up?
Dad, I'm scared.
What are you scared of?
What a breezy apartment!
So it's you, lnspector Yim from the ICAC.
What do you want?
Nothing. I waIked down this street,
and saw that your home Iook a bit awkward.
Thank you!
Yes, have you caIIed the poIice?
We are the police.
Oh! Yes!
Do heIp me.
Sure. l'II heIp you when l have time.
Don't be rude.
Some day it wiII be your turn!
Let's go! We're not scared...
Let's go...
GaIe, see when he has time, I do love to play a football match with him.
Sir.
You've time to go fishing here?
What eIse can I do?
Got any big fish?
Not even a IittIe shrimp.
You're too big a talent to spend your time fishing.
Excuse me, butwho are you?
I am Yim, from the ICAC.
ICAC...
Why me?
Why do you go after me?
I'm not here to getyou.
I wantyou to heIp us.
To be honest,
I am the bIack sheep...
in the poIice force.
How can l heIp you?
It is because you are a corrupt cop that I need your heIp.
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, l'm a cop too.
Yes, l'm corrupt, but l'm still a cop.
You want me to work forthe lCAC? You want me to betray my feIIowcops?
WeII, how much can you pay me?
My salary's not high, but I have other "fringe benefits",
I earn more than you.
We cannot give you a high salary.
But we can give you one thing that they can't give you.
ICAC can give you...
What is the big deaI?
The dignity a man shouId have.
I know you had antagonized Lak,
that is why you're demoted.
They did not Iike you, right?
I can't bIame anyone.
I am a degenerate gambler and an alcohoIic...
Kick those bad habits, and join the ICAC...
That is the onIy way you can hold your head high again.
I can't.
I can't. They wiII 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 the patience.
I'll wait for you at 9am in ICAC Headquarters.
No!
9am is too early. I can't get up that earIy.
10 am then.
I feel strong in the setting sun.
Needn't fear the dark after sunset.
Tomorrow is another day.
Let us heIp 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 two of them.
But there are no light bulbs of 700 watts.
What's this?
Coffee, sir.
For you orthe suspects?
Can anyone answer me?
I don't drink coffee, sir.
Go buy all kinds of coffee beans available.
Listen. AII different kinds of coffee beans.
No matter how they taste Iike.
Damn...
Such awful coffee!
Smells like cat shit! Who bought it?
It's me, sir.
Sorry. Strictly speaking, this is not coffee. I used it for 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 aII the money you need...
Who's ringing the beII? 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.
Fxxk 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 lCAC?
Mr. Chu, you have the right to remain silent.
Anything you say can and will be used...
against you in a court of law.
Sir...
That's fine.
HeIp me aIso...
Shit!
Why is it so coId here?
It's wet. Hand me a toweI.
Sorry, we don't have any towels.
I only have 2 paper napkins.
Please wait. So...
He's shivering.
Sure.
Last evening l used a thermometer to measure the temperature of the room. 12 degrees CeIsius.
What shouId we do now?
Wait a bit longer.
Come on--interrogate me. I demand to see your boss.
He's tidying things up. PIease wait for a whiIe.
Don't leave me!
Turn off the air-con. It's coId.
Our air-con is set at this temperature. There is nothing I can do.
Drink some coffee and you'II get warmer.
I know nothing...
Let me sleep for a whiIe.
Are you the ''coIIector''? Do you workfor Lak?
Do you collect all the protection money?
CoIIect from...
gambling houses, narcotics distribution centers...
and brothels?
You'd better kiII me.
ICAC officers don't kill people.
Do you distribute the protection money by...
the ratio of3-2-1-0.5-3.5,
to every policeman in Hong Kong?
Let me sleep fora whiIe, pIease...
We wiII Iet you sleep once you answer aII my questions.
Let me teII you. We already arrested Limp Iast night.
He wiII confess everything even ifyou keep your mouth shut.
You liar!
Every police station has an informant who works for Limp!
He wiII be the first to know once a warrant is issued.
The Marine PoIice arrested him last night, took him...
to Headquarters, where he was questioned by the Chief Mr. Sutcliffe himself.
No one knows anything before the arrest.
Mr. Henderson.
ICAC.
This is our warrant.
We're from the ICAC.
Mr. Lak Chui, pIease assist in our investigation.
Mr. Lak Chui, pIease clean your ass...
and come with us to Hutchinson House.
Waiter...
2 bottIes of beer.
GaIe, 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'll come to get me.
Unicorn worked for them.
That bastard knows aII about the syndicate.
They wiII come and get me.
GaIe, leave.
Once I leave this pIace, I may never be able to come again.
Have you transferred aII your money overseas?
Apple's handIing it.
How can you trust AppIe?
She's mywife.
With such a large amount of money, your right hand cannot trust your left hand.
Why don't you leave with me?
I'll leave in a couple ofdays.
Why didn't you teII me earlier?
I never think of leaving with you.
Let's spIit up.
Why?
You don't... want me to be with you?
HonestIy, l don't.
What have l done wrong?
I can change.
You...
You've fallen in Iove with the wrong woman.
I stayed with you...
because l need your protection.
Lak is not trust worthy. 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 wiII mess with me, for your sake.
That's why I've stayed with you all these years.
Remember how l was attacked in this restaurant...
It was a setup.
I hired those thugs to attack me...
and put the blame on Congee.
So l have been a fooI all aIong.
You're a good man, GaIe.
I don't want to lie to you.
I never regret being your woman,
but I don't Iove you.
I don't want to lie to you for the rest of our life.
Hope you'II have a good Iife.
GaIe, where're you going?
Leave me aIone! Go away!
Rose...
Rose, why do you cheat me?
Why me?
Good Heavens!
Are you aII right?
Why am l here?
Rose caIIed 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.
I teII you not to mention her name ever again!
Mom, dad scolded you...
No. Dad'sjoking.
I want to have fun with Dad too.
Sure.
Come on, Pearl.
Come here.
You're a big girI now.
Let's go to sIeep together, shall we?
Eyes cIosed? Are you asleep?
This is the first time l sIeep with you and our daughter.
You've spent the night in this house only twice.
Ain't I great? I spent two 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 aIways foIIow my husband,
wherever he goes.
But all these years I've spent only two 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 Iife,
I will stay with you.
What's the matter?
I'm so happy!
Me too.
Really happy.
Hello?
GaIe, it's foryou.
Who the heck knows I am here?
Who is it?
How about that?
I caII your 9 wives but you're with the 10th.
What's up?
Lak is out and wants to meet us.
Where?
At the football fieId.
Damn!
It's yours!
Take a rest... stop it!
I'm resting... get Iost!
Is somebody watching us?
Sure.
Some guy is taking photos right there.
The couple at the back too.
Unicorn is a traitor!
I'll fxxk him!
I've got news that London means business this time.
They want to nail us.
Also, Godber has aIready gone overseas.
Those bastards are after us!
I must teach them a Iesson, or I am not Lak!
Lak.
There is no point taIking about it now. How about...
compromising with the lCAC?
Are you sick?
Compromise with them?
How?
I wish to kick them all to heII!
No way, Lak. Henry said that...
London means business.
Hong Kong is still under British ruIe.
They can take away our power any time.
Let's caII it a day, Lak.
Who do you think you are?
You don't take orders from me any more?
I teII you, l want them both go to hell tonight!
What're you watching?
Come on- let's play baII.
Kick off...
You bettertake care!
Why are you so happy? Yes.
Be on time tomorrow.
Cheers.
Cheers!
Chief, I must dedicate this toastto you.
Thank you for turning us kids...
into aduIts within these months.
Thank you, Chief!
You guys gotta drink up.
Bottoms up.
Yeah... AIright...
Bottoms up.
Great!
I'm going to say something.
Wait... Listen to me.
Don't taIk dirty.
No, l 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 feIIow!
Cheers. Chief.
I've got paid.
So early? lt's onIy the 12th.
I've finaIIy got back my seIfesteem.
Come on!
Thanks.
You're weIcome.
Everybody! Listen.
Although we have arrested and charged...
many gangsters and cops who take their bribes,
it'll be a Iong 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 rest.
Hey... where're you going?
I'll drive you. My car is overthere.
Thanks but I'll go by myseIf...
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.
HaiI Mary, go home.
Are you okay, Chief?
Yes, sure...
Something is wrong...
Which way should l go?
Sir...
CaII the ambuIance!
Chief...
Open the door, Chief.
Open the door.
Open the door and let us in.
What's happened?
Sir, he has Iocked himseIfup.
Tang, this is Thomas, open the door.
Get Iost! He doesn't deserve to die!
I'm also sorry about the incident.
But you shouldn't lock yourseIf up.
Open the door! NOW!
Go away! lfl open the door, they'II kiII me!
Sir...
You're suspended from duties!
No, Sir...
No... don't say a word!
Chief Tang lost his mind after the death of Yim...
and was suspended from duties.
But our morale is stiII high.
But then something unpredictable happened...
Chief Tang got a phone caII at home.
HeIIo?
Honey, it's me.
That bastard beat me up.
I miss you, honey.
Two weeks later, we made remarkabIe progress.
Henry'swiIIing to be the prosecution witness.
Now Henry's become a prosecution witness. What can we do?
Don'tthink 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 eIse do you need? With money, you can buy everything.
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 Iet'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.
GaIe.
Don't think about staying here. You have no option.
You'll be killed.
I'll go home to pack up.
Just take a fewthings.
My dear husband, it's time to part. I've taken ourson with me.
Please don't bIame me and take care. Goodbye.
Damn it!
Goddamn it!
I thought it onIy happened in the movies...
Take the money and run...
It reaIIy happens to me.
Good Heavens...
What have l done wrong?
Why do they all betray me?
All ofmy wives...
aII Ieft me.
Why does fate pIay such a sick joke upon me?
I burnt incense sticks and paid respect to the heavens.
I don't deserve this!
GaIe.
Oh! lt 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 matter what happens...
I will never leave you.
Howdo you know l'm here?
Apple called me and asked me to take care of you.
Then I know something happens.
She took away aII 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 give me $3,000 per month. I save $2,500.
I've got $300,000 here. Take it.
Honey...
GaIe, this money is yours.
I'm just saving it up foryou.
What will you do then?
I can still work...
and bring up our daughter. Don't worry.
So Iong as you don't forget us.
Then I'm happy.
I have not treated you weII,
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 Ioving you.
I just... don't have the chance to teII you.
How stupid I am.
I've neglected the woman who Ioves 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?
OH!
Has he defected to the lCAC?
He is not that kind of person...
Let me go over there and...
tell the boatto come nearer.
Shit! Why did it have to happen now?
What can I do?
GaIe...
Hurry up. The boat has arrived!
Do the heavens teII me to stay behind?
GaIe, you're very late!
The boat's arrived. Let's go.
GoId...
What? Lak's waiting. He is very impatient...
Let's go...
Here he comes...
Lak, here he comes.
Fxxk you!
You asshoIe! How come you are Iate?
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 aII l've got.
Moron! Betrayed by women.
Quick!
Yes. Lak, l'm a moron...
All these years you're the one who promoted me. Without you, l am nobody.
I myself don't deserve to have so much money.
The heavens took them away from me. I have no complaints.
But l 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. l am not going with you.
Please Iet me stay behind, Lak.
You wanna be a traitor?
I'll never betray you, never!
I'll only confess my own crimes.
I'll go to jail for a few years and start over.
Please Iet me stay.
Let you stay?
What about me?
CaIm down...
Fxxk off!
Don't force me... Lak! Don't!
All these years, you treat me Iike a running dog.
I did not compIain.
You've dumped all your mistresses on me and I took them aII to be my wives.
Now Iet me keep my only hope...
Will you?
Put down yourgun!
Put down your gun!
Okay...
Stay calm... or we'll both die!
Stay calm... OK...we are buddies.
Let's taIk.
Yes... you want to taIk?
You point the gun at me?
Bastard...
I'll shoot you right now!
Don't! If you shoot him...
We won't get pass the Marine PoIice before we reach the high seas.
Fai, caII someone to come here...
dig a hoIe and bury him!
What?
What do you mean by ''what''?
Go!
You hear me? Go!
Hey! Come over here!
Hey! Lots of money here.
A few hundred thousand.
You prick!
HeIp...
I was shot...
Where's yourgun?
No? You don't carry your gun with you?
Fxxk you!
GaIe...
Please Iet me go...
Don't kill me...
It is I who promoted you...
I promise l'II never come back once l have gone overseas...
I won't hurt you. Let me go.
I won't hurt you...
Don't kill me. Let me go...
GaIe...
Thank you... thank you Gale...
GoId? It's you?
What're you doing here?
I wondered who comes for me. It is you, Goat!
I...Icame out for a waIk...
got mugged, and shot.
CaII the ambuIance to take me to hospital.
But a warrant has been issued foryourarrest.
What? Who dares to arrest me? Morons.
Excuse me, then.
Guys, handcuff him.
Wait wait wait...wait.
I helped your nephew Iast 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.
WeII then, GoId.
How about l owe you two favors?
Take him back!
Detective Chan, everyone says you're a nice man among corrupt crooks.
You've done the Ieast evil.
But why don't you be the prosecution witness?
Ifyou give evidence against them,
you can get out ofjail in a yearortwo.
I will only admit...
my own crimes.
But l won't give evidence against anyone.
All the corrupt poIicemen...
were arrested by the ICAC one by one.
Apart from Godber, Lak and Kong,
Henry and others were under arrest.
Everyone panicked,
because then over 90% of poIicemen took bribes...
or faiIed to report corruption.
If the law was strictIy enforced, aImost every policeman would have to go to jaiI.
FinaIIy, a mass protest took pIace.
A swarm of policemen stormed the ICAC headquarters in Hutchison House.
On that night, some protesters...
made a hazardous and irrationaI suggestion that...
the PoIice Force shouId go on strike for 72 hours,
during which they wouId 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 aII minor corruptions committed...
before 1 January 1977.
All corruptions committed after that day would be prosecuted.
The unrestwas finally over...
so was the Empire ofcorruption.
I was sent to jaiI for 4 years, but I was quite contented about that.
GoId was sentenced to 5 years in jail.
He Iikes to dance on the playground.
Henry became the prosecution witness and was jaiIed for 10 months.
As he's a Brit, he can eat steaks in jail.
Beef steaks today, paI?
Harder than a rock!
I have curry and chicken.
Let's exchange.
10 months later, Henry was reIeased from jail and went on a trip.
Dad...
3 and a haIf years later, I was reIeased on paroIe...
for good behavior, and Iived...
with my fourth wife for the rest of my Iife.
PearI.
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.
