2015. The Hong Kong Police's confidential files were posted online
in an act of retaliation.
The lives of a thousand undercover cops were immediately jeopardized.
A bloody war was inevitable.
Stop...
Get in the car.
No key?
Cheuk Sir, Ding Siu-ka and Sit Ka-keung are being attacked at Tsun Sha Street.
There are over a hundred assailants at the scene.
Call SDU immediately for backup.
Yes, sir.
Don't waste the bullets. Get out of here while you still have a chance.
You'll die if you stay with me.
We'll be fine. Trust me.
What are you doing?
I'm their target. Let me die. Don't want you to die because of me.
Listen carefully, Ding Siu-ka.
I won't let anything bad happen to you.
If you die, I'll die with you.
Don't be so good to me.
I won't know what to do if you're so good to me.
Let's live and die together.
Nine months ago.
2014.
Lucky Foot Massage.
$138 please. Come again next time.
Thank you. See you next time.
Is this comfortable? Of course.
Is the pressure right? Yes.
We charge $138 per hour for foot massage.
But if you buy coupons for a year, it'll be $108 each time.
Buy eight and get one free. We'll even serve you free soup too.
If you buy coupons for half a year, it'll be $120 each time.
Buy ten and get one free.
There won't be any free soup, just a cup of tea.
Mr Leung, you're so smart. I'm sure you know how to do the math.
Well...
Why don't I get you a bowl of soup first? OK.
That means you'll buy a year's coupons then?
OK.
Sis Rose. Yes.
Mr Leung will buy a year's coupons. OK. Thank you.
Hey, the sides of my neck are sore. Really?
Please massage it for me. OK.
Lower please.
He's taking advantage of Susie. I must beat him up.
Hey, don't make trouble in our own place.
Let me deal with him...
Mom Susie, take a break. Let me serve this handsome guy.
OK.
Handsome guy, are your temples sore? Yes...
Let me massage them for you. OK...
Ouch. Are you trying to kill me?
Oh, no. I didn't use much force at all. You already feel so sore?
That's a symptom of weak kidneys.
What's wrong with you?
Do you sometimes feel dazed and can't close your mouth?
See? That's the symptom.
When you're upset, are you short of breath?
Does your chest feel tight?
When you walk, do you stumble around like when you've lost in horse races?
Sometimes.
That means you have weak kidneys.
I'm in the health care business. Do you trust me?
I do.
Good. Let me recommend a secret recipe for you.
You should eat bull's penis noodles for replenishment.
Did anyone eat noodles with beef innards today?
Why?
What are you looking for?
Hold this...Get me all the beef tendon.
Hey, that's enough. It'll be really hot.
I want to make it so hot that
he can't tell if it's beef tendons or bull's penis.
I made this noodle with bull's penis especially for you. It's fresh.
Why does the bull's penis look so much like beef tendon.
That's because we're thorough.
We removed the skin so that it won't taste so strong.
Now all the essence is in the spongy body. It's great for male nourishment...
Easy...Eat slowly. Easy...
You've swallowed it, right?
It's so hot.
Your tongue is so coated. You must be damp inside. Finish the soup.
No.
It'll keep you dry. Is it nice? What's the matter?
I need to go to the bathroom.
You're going to soil your pants...
What's so funny?
Mom Susie, it's good that you've got such great assets,
but please exercise some self-restraint or people will take advantage of you.
When did I fail to exercise self-restraint?
Hello, Sis Shim. Welcome. Sis Shim...
Hey, Sis Shim. I have a special service for you today.
Please come with me.
Just now you said you have some special service for me.
Did you learn some Thai massage tricks?
No, I've got something more important for you.
You'll be so excited after you watch this.
What is it? Let me see.
Let's agree on the price first.
This will cost you a thousand dollars. You'll think it's a bargain.
Here you go. A thousand dollars. What's this about?
Thank you, Sis Shim. Look.
Our massage is done. Let's get back to work.
Where did Chicken Shing say he'd take us?
He said he'd take us somewhere new for fun,
but he said there are lots of computers.
Isn't this exciting?
The Chicken Shing these two women mentioned is...?
I only know one big brother called Chicken Shing in this district.
He's your Chicken Shing.
Where are these two girls now?
They just finished their massage and left.
You can still catch up with them if you go now.
Darn it. Flirting with girls?
You're still trying to call him?
Do you want to let him know that you're coming after him?
Go after them quickly.
Boss, she bought my trick. She's going to Chicken Shing's joint now.
Keep a closer eye on her.
I'm counting on you to find out where Chicken Shing's joint is.
Don't worry. There won't be any problem.
Chicken Shing? I can't let them to run into each other.
Hey, I need to go.
Darn it. You're a man. Why did you molest me in public?
Who are you talking about? Who molested you? You're crazy.
You touched me. Are you denying it now?
Hey, Chelsea versus Juventus. Two to one.
Hey, you look like a stranger. I've never seen you before.
What are you doing here?
I've never seen you before either.
I asked you what you're doing here.
I came to visit my grandma. What's wrong?
Who are you looking for?
Grandma! I miss you so much. How are you doing?
It's windy here. Let's talk inside. Sorry...
Madam, just you and your husband live here?
Yes.
Do you have any children?
They've all grown up and moved out.
No one cares about us now. It's just the two of us living here.
I see.
Miss, I don't think I know you.
Oh, I'm from the Social Welfare Department.
SWD? What do you want to check this time?
Don't worry...I came to deliver money.
Your daughter has applied for additional old age living allowance for you.
Really? This is the first payment.
It's OALA allowance?
$3,800. It's a lucky sum.
I wish you and your husband good health.
Thank you very much.
Tell me where Chicken Shing is. Did he bring two girls here?
He really didn't come here.
Hong Sir.
Nail, good job.
Thank you, sir.
It seems you don't deserve my praise. What do you mean?
Can you be a little more serious?
How can you write your undercover journal on a napkin?
I told you to write it in the log book.
I was working just now. It was inconvenient to carry a notebook.
It would have messed things up.
Never mind. Write the intel in the notebook now.
Wasn't I really smart this time?
I just asked those two girls to say something.
I shot the clip and trapped Chicken Shing's wife.
Then I followed her to Chicken Shing's bookie joint.
The mission was really successful. I deserve a bonus.
You've ordered the most expensive food in the restaurant.
I'll deduct the bill from your bonus.
Don't be such a miser.
You're my handler. I risk my life working for you.
You should keep me well fed.
You run a foot massage parlor. You work as a cop.
Now you're asking for a bonus too. You'll be so rich.
Forget the bonus. Can I claim reimbursement?
For watching a movie?
There's a character in the movie who works undercover in outer space.
I wanted to learn some tricks.
Fine. I'll approve it this time.
What's my next move?
Do nothing for the time being, and wait for my further instructions.
So nice? I can goof off then.
You're folding paper toys for your beloved daughter again?
I can't help it. She likes these better than toys.
Take your time then. I need to look after the shop.
I ordered these for you. Enjoy.
Hey...
What?
You've ordered takeaway too. How can I cover the expenses?
It's for my three mothers.
You won't approve it? You deserve to be called you a miser. Bye.
Chan Fat, three years ago,
you were involved in many oases of illegal arms dealing.
You've been on the run for so long. Now you're back.
You thought I had forgotten?
My memory is very good,
Back then you had an underling called Tung. Where is he now?
Sir, as you said, I've been on the run for so many years.
What do I have to do with the disappearance of your man?
Where's Tung?
What's my offence?
If I've committed a crime, arrest me then.
I really don't know anything.
I've been looking for you these past three years you've been away.
I waited so long. Now you're telling me you know nothing?
Do you think you can leave this place?
I found this bag of pills in your bag. It's such a small quantity.
You could say it's for your own consumption.
There's no point charging you.
Sir...Sir...I'll talk.
I'll talk...
You have only one chance.
I'll talk...I'll talk.
You're really fit. You're not out of breath at all.
You're fit too, Cheuk Sir.
I have an undercover job for you.
You need to infiltrate a gang of arms dealers so we can nail them.
But this mission could be dangerous. Are you scared?
I'm a cop. Why would I be scared?
Cheuk Sir, I will accomplish the mission.
I've lost contact with an undercover cop for a long time.
I'm really worried about his safety.
Are you sure something has happened to him?
There are so many temptations out there.
He could have accepted advantages and turned.
No. I'm sure he'd never turn.
Cheuk Sir, Chan Fat has an arms deal next week.
I'll keep you posted.
You have to be careful.
Do you have a lighter?
Don't smoke so much. It's bad for your health.
Bad for my health? I work undercover. I hang out with gangsters every day.
I'm between two worlds. I could get killed any second by them or my fellow cops.
So don't tell me it's bad for my health.
Here you go.
You can keep it.
So you took a month off to follow Chan Fat's lead.
You never gave up all these years. Chan Fat finally snuck back.
You finally found Tung.
You would do this too if you were in my shoes.
If you weren't so persistent, Tung would be buried there forever.
His name would never be cleared.
We sent each and every one of them out ourselves.
Their lives are on the line every day. What for?
You could say they do it for justice and to keep society safe.
But we both know that they do it to honor their promises to us.
So even if the whole world forsakes them, I still won't give up.
I want them back alive or dead.
What's wrong with you people?
OCT B Headquarters. 10:33.
Don't tell people that
you work under me in OCT B.
You're a disgrace to the entire department.
Elites in the force? Losers.
You're all losers. You all failed to follow just one guy?
People will laugh at us.
Even a police dog can do a better job than you guys.
Yip Sir, sometimes you should consider your own mistakes when a mission fails.
Don't just scold your subordinates and put the blame on them.
This is OCT B. It's my turf. I can do whatever I like.
You're from CIB, so you should shut up.
I come to tell you that I found Tung's bones.
He was murdered. He didn't turn.
Back then you wanted to get credit.
You sent someone to follow us during our operation.
That's why Tung's status was exposed.
As a result, he was killed.
What do you mean by that? Don't put the blame on me.
I want to tell you not to interfere with CIB's actions anymore.
How would I know what you guys are doing if I didn't do that?
How do I know if you guys are keeping something from me?
What's the progress on Flounder, the biggest bookies gang?
We're working on it.
Working on it?
Are you negotiating with him? Or you want to get all the credit yourself?
You don't report anything to me.
It's normal that I'd assign someone to interfere with your action.
You don't trust your own fellow oops. How can we cooperate?
You guys are keeping everything to yourselves all the time.
You're so evasive. How can I trust you?
Don't forget that CIB's duty is to serve OCT B in investigations.
Going forward, when you get any intel, you better report to me.
Otherwise, I'll file a complaint against you with the boss.
According to the guidelines,
we assist you by providing strategic and tactical intel.
We work with you guys. We don't serve you.
Nothing in the guidelines says
you have the authority to gain knowledge of every detail of our operations.
In other words, you have no authority to make that request.
You want intel, right? I'll tell you something big.
The killer who murdered Tung is in the public toilet in Sai Wan now.
Go do your job.
Remember, do a nice job for Tung.
You owe him that. It's payback time.
Good job.
You have no idea how I confronted OCT B.
You don't need to compliment me. I just need you to back me up.
You're the coolest guy in CIB. I trust that you can deal with this.
I've located the joint of the bookie gang's head broker Chicken Shing.
You'll be in charge of the operation. Get ready.
Chicken Shing is just a head broker. Flounder is our target.
He'll be alerted if we arrest Chicken Shing.
Why don't we wait to catch the big fish?
Trust me.
Hey, give me two more packs. I can manage.
Can you really manage?
Sure. This isn't my best record yet. Let's deliver all of it at once.
There are five more deliveries to go.
Excuse me...
Catch this.
Thank you.
Where are you going in such a rush? You haven't finished the coffee yet.
It's time to work.
I need to hurry to the off-course betting center to place the bets.
Finish the food first.
Hey, dude. Sit down. You want to place bets?
The off-course betting center is several blocks away.
If you're in a hurry, why don't you place your bets with me?
Don't worry. I'm Burst Seed. I often come here. Everyone here knows me.
I'll give you a ten percent discount and an extended two-week credit period.
I got a new client just now.
You got a new client in Tin Shui Wai? You're really my idol.
Cut it out. Let's collect the debt first.
Let's go.
Boss, ice delivery.
OK. Put it over there.
Boss, there are five packs of ice...
Where do you want them? You haven't stamped the invoice yet.
I'll do it then.
Hey, please settle the outstanding payment for you bets too.
Are you messing with me?
I'll go see you if I want to make a payment. What's the hurry?
Brother Hung, you've avoided paying many times. You placed your bets with me.
You don't pay up when you lose.
If I can’t collect from you, I'll get yelled at.
Anyway, I won't let you leave if you don't pay today.
I wont pay. What can you do about that?
Brother Hung, it's your obligation to pay your debts.
When you win, you collect your winnings so happily.
But when you lose, you refuse to pay up.
You're giving me a hard time because I'm just an employee.
As you said, you're just an employee. Why are you making such a fuss?
Do you get a cut?
I accepted your bet. I have to get paid.
How about I make a bet with you? If I lose, I'll pay for you.
Fine. Let's do it. I'm not afraid of you.
Fine.
Hey, what are you doing?
I want to play double up with you. Hey, there aren't enough ice cubes.
Louse, cut open two more packs of ice so Brother Hung can place his bets.
Copy that.
Hey, stop it. What are you doing?
Why is there ice all over the ﬂoor? What's going on?
Brother Shing, they're making trouble.
Oh, no. He's Chicken Shing's relative.
So? I'm just doing my job.
You're my broker Burst Seed? Why are you making trouble here?
Brother Shing, Brother Hung's debt has been outstanding for a very long time.
He refused to pay up. I just came to collect his debt.
It's OK. I'll ask him to pay you when he has the money.
No, Brother Shing. I have to hand in the money soon.
If I can’t get his payment, Big Brother will be upset.
How can I account for that?
Who do you work for now?
You're my broker. Just follow my instructions.
You know the rules.
Even though Brother Hung is your relative, he still needs to pay.
Who are you to argue with me? You're just a broker.
Even if you can get the payment, you still need to consider your own status.
You don't show any respect at all. I could finish you off easily.
Don't do it please, Brother Shing. We just work for the company.
Sometimes Burst Seed doesn't know what he's doing when he's working.
Get out of the way.
Sorry, Brother Shing. We'll come again next time.
Hey, you made a mess of his place. You're just leaving?
No...Let me clean up the place. I'm good at this.
Don't leave your ice here. Clean it all up.
Excuse me.
Clean the place thoroughly.
If we didn't need to deliver the ice just now, I would have fought him.
There were just four of them.
If we fought them, I'm sure we'd win.
So you were really pissed?
Of course. We were just playing by the book. Why would we be afraid of him?
Fine. Let's go back there now and beat him up, OK?
OK. Come on.
Let's go... Let's beat him up.
Let's go right now. Let's go.
All talk, but no walk.
No, I've figured it out. This is his turf.
It's to our disadvantage to beat him up here
Don't pretend to be brave then. Isn't this bad enough?
Can you suck it up just because you need to make a living? I can't.
What shall we do then? We're just casual brokers.
We work for Chicken Shing. We won't have any luck if we offend him.
Hey, why don't we work for someone else?
Chicken Shing is just Flounder's head broker.
Flounders bookie gang is the biggest in Hong Kong. Who should we work if not him?
Exactly. Look, Brother Burst Seed.
I, Louse, will follow you wherever you go to make a living.
Hello, boss...
Brother Burst Seed,
did you come for a foot massage or to collect the debt?
You're welcome if you came for foot massage.
You don't need to come here to collect the debt, right?
I wouldn't need to come if you had paid.
I've given you a month. I still haven't been paid.
That's why I'm here.
I don't mean to stall, but he's really miserable.
He has a big family. They don't have money for food.
How can I make him pay? Please give me some more time, OK?
He chose to gamble. He lost. So he has to pay.
If he can’t afford to lose, then he shouldn't gamble anymore.
I couldn't get him to pay. I really can't pay you.
Don't be a broker if you can’t get payment.
I'm sorry. Louse, action.
Hey...
Please stop...
The owner is in trouble now... Get out...
All of you get out... Get out...
Why did a man roll down our gate?
Is this a robbery?
Brother Burst Seed, please show some brotherhood.
I gave people allowance. Could you do the same for us too please?
Brotherhood, right?
You know I have to hand in the money to my big brother. No bargaining.
Louse, search each and every room here. Get as much as you can find.
Hey...
Stop it please.
Darn robber. You're robbing my shop?
Hey...
What is it?
What? Don't be afraid. We'll be fine.
What do you mean we're robbing you? We came to collect debts.
That's crap. How would we owe people money?
Sis Nail, I do owe them money.
How come?
Your mom works for me as a casual broker. She owes me money from last month.
If she doesn't pay me, my big brother will press me for the money.
I have to get the money today.
Look, we really don't have any money here.
Can you give us a couple more days? We'll raise the money to pay you.
How about this?
We have healthcare cream and acupoint and foot massage sticks.
They're expensive.
Take them all to set off the debt. Come on.
Save them for yourself.
I'll close down your shop if I don't get paid today.
No...the shop is our baby. Please don't close it down.
Either you pay or we'll close down your shop.
Stop it. I'll pay you.
$3,000. Take this first.
Take your hands off. Don't touch this.
Don't stop me from touching it. Don't touch it again.
Hey...
What are you doing?
Louse, come over and give me a hand... There's a secret compartment.
Hey.
Don't kick.
Oh...
You're tricky.
I'll assume this is $50,000.
You guys still owe me $50,000.
What are you looking at?
This is the record of what your Mom Rose owes me.
Look carefully. Calling me a robber?
These coupons are interest.
You guys don't need money for food or clothes.
Why are you working as casual brokers? Are you so money hungry?
Do you remember how my mom died? She died because of gambling.
Mom Rose, you promised me that you'd never gamble again.
So you don't gamble now, but you're a broker accepting bets.
Haven't you broken your promise?
What?
Stop scolding us.
You put away $50,000 without telling us. Right.
I didn't put away the money for my own sake.
I did it for you guys.
Otherwise, you'd gamble it all.
Sis Nail, Mom Rose worked as a broker not because she wanted money.
She's just trying to help Auntie Tsat.
Auntie Tsat? What happened to her?
Her husband in China suffers from renal failure.
He can't get a kidney transplant yet. He needs dialysis to stay alive.
She needs to spend a lot of money. How can Auntie Tsat afford that?
So I wanted to make some money for her.
The shop can just make ends meet each month despite the business.
So Rose worked as Burst Seed's broker
to make some extra money.
But she's too kind-hearted.
When the gamblers lost, and she went to collect the debts,
their family kept crying.
She didn't want to push them so hard.
Sometimes she even pays for them. How can she collect the debts then?
Why don't you go next time to collect the debts then?
Why didn't you tell me about this? Why did you take up everything yourself?
I thought the three of us could handle such an easy task.
We didn't want to bother you.
You've really made me so mad.
You call me Sis Nail. The three of you are my mothers.
This is my shop. Auntie Tsat is one of us too.
Everything is my business. How is that bothering me?
OK. I know this won't work now.
Anyway, I'll get all the money back and pay Burst Seed.
I'll get the book back. I won't be a broker anymore.
It'll be fine.
Come on. Will you three of you grow up please? Don't be so reckless, OK?
Did it ever cross your mind that before you quit,
someone could find the book?
It's no big deal being a casual broker, but still it's a criminal offence.
You'll go to jail for that.
What? Go to jail? Now what?
Now what?
Burst Seed can't keep the book. I must get it back.
Where shall we go deliver ice this afternoon?
There are no orders this morning.
Let's check in the afternoon to see if there's enough ice.
OK...Ah...
The ice has melted. What's going on?
Hey, what are you doing?
Stop. You want to steal my stuff?
What do you mean steal your stuff?
What have I stolen from you?
What do you have for me to steal? Ice? You're crazy.
Why did you get in my car then? Hey...
What's going on?
What did the foot massage girl do?
She lost her temper because she couldn't steal my stuff.
Keep an eye on the car. I'll get someone to fix the fridge.
Copy that.
It's that car again. Are fellow cops working?
Chicken Shing's joint is nearby.
If the cops raid his joint today, Burst Seed will get busted too.
Then the cops will get Mom Rose's book.
Chef, what's your situation over there?
Waiter, we can serve the food anytime just waiting for your order.
It's about time. Wait for my call.
Waiter, there's an order. Get ready to prepare the food.
Everyone get ready. Hit team, stand by for action.
First half, two to one...
$200,000..
Cops! Unplug the computers!
Freeze. Face down. Don't move.
Chicken Shing has ﬂed with the book. Go upstairs and search.
Hey, Brother Shing. Why are you panting?
My joint's been raided by the cops.
If they get the book, there'll be trouble.
Brother Flounder will be really mad.
Do you have any ideas to help me get out of here?
Give me the book. We'll split up and run.
If the cops catch you, they won't find anything on you, right?
OK. I'm counting on you.
Let's split up. Go.
Stop. Police.
What's the matter?
Sir, he's got nothing.
You guys follow this.
Hey, stop.
Police. Stop.
Stop.
What's the matter, sir?
We suspect you're involved in a case. We want to search you.
Go ahead.
Where's your fanny pack?
You see everything I have on me.
I'll ask you once more.
How do you know Chicken Shing? Where's the thing he gave you?
I'll answer you once again.
I don't know him. I haven't taken anything from him.
You better cooperate with us. Otherwise, we'll nail you.
You better cooperate with me. I want to file a complaint against that cop.
Why did he take me in for nothing? I want to complain against him.
Cheuk Sir...
You two take a break. Let me interrogate him.
Yes, sir.
Sit Ka-keung, right? Nickname Burst Seed.
On the face of it, you deliver ice.
But you actually work under Chicken Shing as his broker.
You've been doing quite well lately.
Thank you for your compliment.
Did Chicken Shing give you the book?
Why are you so stupid even though you're an experienced cop?
I would have talked to you long ago if I wanted to.
Why would I waste my time with you here?
I'm clean. What can you do to me if I refuse to talk?
Are you really that clean?
Don't think you can frame me.
I can charge you with so many things. I don't need to frame you.
The book is a very important piece of evidence. We must get it.
Cooperate with me. Only then can I help you.
Hey, kid. I already gave you a chance before.
You really don't remember me?
Your father was a gangster.
His enemies tried to kill him. I saved his life. But he wouldn't change.
In the end he was killed on the street. Back then you were ten years old.
A couple years later, perhaps his son got his genes,
he became a gangster too.
He nearly got killed on the street.
Perhaps this was predestined. I saved your life again.
Back then you were a teenager. I gave you a chance.
I told you to go straight. You promised me that you would.
Why are you doing this again now?
What's so surprising about this? Like father, like son.
Just presume that it's in my genes. I'm incorrigible.
You're just a cop for the pay. Do you think you're the Messiah?
Final warning. You won't be so lucky every time.
If you carry on this way, you'll end up dead sooner or later.
Look at what happened to your dad.
Sir, are you done talking? You're so full of crap.
Go ahead if you want to frame me. Don't waste my time.
You can go.
This is my final warning to you. You better watch out.
This is the book. Mom Rose...Done.
What is this?
Hey, this is Chicken Shing's book!
This is jackpot. I can ask Hong Sir to pay me a substantial sum this time.
