Kong Sir, you're my handler. I risk my life working for you.
The mission was really successful. I deserve a bonus.
Nickname's Burst Seed.
On the face of it, you deliver ice,
But you're actually a broker under Chicken Shing.
Give me the book. Let's split up and run.
Hang.
There's a dirty cop.
I handle five undercover cops.
I've already deleted their files. Save their lives.
We send each and every one of them out ourselves.
Their lives are on the line every day.
They do it to honor their promises to us.
So even if the whole world has forsaken them, I still won't give up.
I want them back dead or alive.
What's wrong with you guys? You turned off your phones.
You have no brotherhood.
You didn't ask me to join you guys for a late meal. Now you're full.
You want me to close the shop? No way.
What a failure.
What's the matter?
Give it back to me.
You took $50,000 from me last time.
How would I have so much money?
Still pretending? You took my stuff. Give them back to me now.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Fine. Louse, we have three hostages.
Who do you want to hit first? Your call.
Hey...
Don't hit my face.
I'll hit all three of them.
Are you a man? You're threatening me with these three women?
I'll give it back to you. Big deal.
Where's the other book? Give it to me.
What? It's all here.
Louse, I've got a tough job for you. Search her.
My pleasure.
I'll kill whoever comes over.
My mistake. We'll both search you together.
OK. Stop it. I'll give it back to you.
If you play tricks again, I'll raise the interest.
$50,000 will turn into $500,000.
$500,000.
Beat it.
Chicken Shing always bragged about how perfectly secure his joint is,
but the cops raided it today.
He's in trouble himself.
I wonder how much the cops have got.
Brother Flounder, if the cops find the book, you'll be in deep trouble.
Do you need to hide for the time being?
You're telling me to run?
Who will manage the business if I go on a holiday?
Brother Flounder, you don't need to do that. This is the company's book.
The cops nearly got it. I did a lot to get it back.
I toyed with the cops all afternoon. I knew they had nothing.
They won't come here. You don't need to worry.
It's really so close today. The cops took him in.
They interrogated him all day. But he's got brotherhood.
He didn't tell them anything. They had to let him go. He's so cool.
You're Burst Seed? I've heard about you. You're Chicken Shing's broker.
You're really OK.
Thank you, Brother Flounder.
OK. You two can go. I still need to discuss something.
Copy that...Hey, Big... Brother Flounder told us to leave.
You're a gangster.
How can you follow people's order so readily?
What else do you want?
I want to be the head broker.
I've got more casual brokers
than Chicken Shing does.
I'm good enough to take his post. Brother Flounder, please give me a chance.

Yin.
Cheuk Sir, Internal Investigation Branch
has summoned all of us to the office for an interrogation.
Why is there a globe here? It wasn't here before.
Hey, leave it alone. Let me put it back where it was.
What's the matter? Is there a password in it?
Hey, you want to go to Mauritius for holiday?
It isn't just for holiday. I want to immigrate there when I retire.
I can look at the blue ocean every day. I won't need to think or fret. It's so nice.
You want to retire so soon? That's a long way down the road, dude.
That's why I want to look at it every day
to remind myself to stay alive so as I can enjoy the sun and beaches.
Don't mess with it again.
OK. Mauritius, right?
It's moved. Someone's been here.
The lights are on. Did Cheuk Sir come in? Cheuk Sir.
Cheuk Sir...
They said something terrible happened to Hong Sir.
What happened? How did it happen?
Sir.
Hoi, Mak Sir and the others are from the Internal Investigation Branch.
They'll look into Hang's fall off a building
We received a call from the hospital 45 minutes ago.
It's confirmed that CIP Hong To-hang fell off a building
and died of the serious injuries suffered.
We saw on his phone that he sent you a message at 8:50pm.
He said he wanted to talk to you about something urgent,
and asked to meet you at the usual place.
Did you receive that message?
Yes, I did.
Please tell me why Hong Sir wanted to see you before he died?
I don't know.
He sent me a short message and asked me to meet him on the rooftop.
I drove there. I heard a loud bang. Then I found him lying on the ground.
Did you see what happened? Was there anyone suspicious?
Nope.
According to the paramedic's report,
Hong Sir died after he was picked up by the ambulance.
Did he tell you anything before he died?
There's a dirty cop.
No. When I got there, he was already in a coma.
Uncle Hoi, you've worked all day. Have some tea.
Thank you.
Hong Sir was fine this afternoon. Why would he suddenly jump off a building?
I heard he called you before he died. What happened?
I've already told the Internal Investigation Branch what happened.
They'll follow the case. You just do your own jobs.
Don't be too upset because of this.
I've got so much to do. I don't have time to feel upset.
Business is good.
Of course. Otherwise I wouldn't have ordered so much ice.
It's great that business is good.
Thank you.
Remember to get more clients for us.
OK.
We've collected all the debts today.
We've got more clients now. The bets are bigger too. Good.
Brother Burst Seed, you've increased the clients' credit again?
What's the problem?
Big problem. Fo is in charge here.
You gave his clients a longer credit period.
You also give them higher credit limits so you could steal his clients.
Aren't you afraid that Fo will hate us?
Louse, are you afraid of poverty or Fo more?
I'm afraid of poverty more.
If we don't get results, how can we win Flounder's trust?
How can we become his second broker?
Of course I'm not afraid of Fo.
But if he comes with his guys, I'm afraid the two of us can’t fight them.
If you're so chicken, don't do it then. Just deliver ice.
Were brothers. We'll do everything together.
Big, we've finished today's orders already. Why don't we relax a bit?
Sis Nail, are you that bored?
How would I be so lucky that I could be bored?
I'm thinking of how to make more money. We're still heavily in debt.
Sis Nail, take time to repay.
It's no big deal.
That's easy for you to say.
If necessary, the three of us can work again.
Hey...
Welcome...What?
You want to collect the balance? I don't have money.
Don't make trouble here. This is my fault. Leave the shop alone.
We didn't come here to collect debt today. We want you to serve us.
What do you want?
Of course we want a foot massage. I won't ask you to massage other parts.
You're so awful. Your breath stinks.
We're your client. Watch what you say.
I bet you guys remember these coupons. I want full service.
Don't think about closing the shop until you've finished massaging our feet.
What's the matter? Why are you standing there?
You won't honor this? I'll file a complaint with the Consumer Council.
Don't worry. We'll honor those.
I'll ask two staff to massage your smelly feet.
I'll go inside and take a nap.
Right. Get us two glasses of...
OK.
Hey, I want body massage. Go inside.
What are you two doing?
Is something wrong?
I saw Fo coming this way with his underlings.
I'm not sure if he's looking for us.
Is he coming after me because of Chicken Shing's case?
Are you serious? What if he's really coming for us?
Of course we have to run. We won't get away when he gets here.
Hey, what's the matter?
Don't make trouble here.
I'll call the police.
Louse, let's split up.
OK.
Be careful.
Big.
Why are you following me?
Don't make them come this way. You go somewhere else.
Get out of the way...
Stop.
I told you not to follow me.
Burst Seed, you're a traitor. You're stealing my business?
How can you do something so wicked? He's such scum. Hit him.
Go away.
Beat him up.
Oh, no...Run...
Run.
Find them.
Don't come to my shop anymore.
Those guys were after you. Don't get me into trouble.
You grabbed my money just now. I almost died.
If I hadn't shielded you from their strikes,
you would have been dead already.
You're so greedy.
You don't even care about your safety for the sake of money.
It's none of your business whether I'm greedy or not.
I spent more than an hour dealing with you. You just gave me a couple of coupons.
Do you know how much business I've lost?
I don't know if those guys will come again to seek revenge.
You better pay me first for this.
You've taken my money. I got hit because of you. We're not even yet
Give me back my money.
What do you mean your money? You dropped it and didn't pick it up.
I risked my life to get it. Of course it's my money now.
You still have some.
Let go of me.
Give me back my money.
What do you mean give it back to you? No way.
You want to grab it? I can do that too.
You're taking my money?
I can do that too.
What are you doing? You want to grab my money?
I'll shout for help.
Go ahead. See who the thief is.
He's hitting his wife. He makes me work as a prostitute.
Now he even wants to take the money for the family.
He's so awful. Call the police and have him arrested.
Fine. You're such a rascal. I'll get even with you later.
Call the police.
There's nothing to watch. Let's go.
Chief Inspector of Police suspected of committing suicide
He died from falling off a building.
She's back...How are you? Are you OK?
How are you?
Did those thugs beat you up?
Did they do that to you?
Oh, no.
I've lost them.
See? I told you she'd be fine. How could those guys hurt Sis Nail?
This is my fault. I messed with Burst Seed so he came to make trouble.
Let's figure out a way to finish off that Burst Seed
so that he won't come harass us again.
I only know how to do my old job.
Do you really want me to do that?
What else can we do?
OK. You three behave yourselves from now on. I'll deal with Burst Seed, OK?
I heard that you two had a big fight. Is that true?
Brother Flounder, Burst Seed made trouble on my turf.
He stole my clients. Of course I had to beat him up.
Hey, stupid, we work for the company.
We go to all 18 districts. Who's stolen your business?
You have so many underlings. But your business is worse than ours.
You should think about why that is.
Darn Louse, you aren't entitled to speak. I'll kill you.
Fo, don't try to bluff me.
I haven't evened the score with you yet. Don't think I'm afraid of you.
Fine, let's fight then.
Come on.
Shut up.
Are you guys done? Who's in charge here?
Of course it's you.
Of course it's you, Brother Flounder.
Why do you two want to fight?
I'm Brother Shing's right hand man. Of course I get to take over his turf.
Burst Seed, you should go somewhere else to make a living.
Otherwise I'll beat you up whenever I see you.
We're not afraid of you.
I'll beat you up hard whenever I see you.
Your breath stinks. I'll beat you up now.
Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what big brother said?
Even if you two kill the other person and all the other people on the street,
can you take Chicken Shing's post without my approval?
The illegal trade is like a normal business.
It's money that counts.
Whoever makes money for me will get promoted.
I'll give you two a week's time.
I want a million-dollar stake for Saturday's match.
Whoever makes that will become the head broker.
Kei-kei, be good and listen to your aunt.
If you need anything, call me. I'll help you.
I will.
Her mom died earlier. Now her dad's dead too. She's so pitiful.
Please take good care of her.
Don't worry. I'll take good care of Kei-kei.
I won't let my older sister and my brother-in-law down.
The ceremony will begin soon. Friends and relatives should get ready.
Will the UCs come here?
Cheuk Sir, a colleague died. I'm upset too.
I don't want tragedies to happen again. Let me give you my advice:
Be prudent from now on. Follow the rules.
What do you mean?
I don't mean to be disrespectful.
But you guys raided Chicken Shing's joint on your own.
You alerted him. Now Hong Sir's suddenly committed suicide.
So many things have happened. Shouldn't you be more careful?
Are you done talking? Step aside if you're done.
Kwok Sir, I'll go say hello to the relatives
Hoi, Hang's dead. I know you must be really upset. Me too.
After you two left the Police Academy, you worked in UB and then CID under me.
You two were always my best assistants.
Hang said most of what we learned as police officers we learned from you.
You're meticulous. You have brains. You're cool.
Hang was the opposite. He had the guts to try.
You two complemented each other perfectly.
Sometimes I do wonder how you two could be buddies.
It's hard to understand. Why did Hang die this way?
I can't believe he would commit suicide.
Losing such a good mentee and colleague is a huge loss. But there's still you.
Don't be so sad.
Why are you here by yourself?
They said that Dad's gone to a very faraway place.
He'll never come back.
Right. He won't come back again. But don't be so sad.
Your dad was very strong. He wants you to be so too.
We must be like him, right?
But I really miss him so much.
Why don't I fold you something?
If you want to talk to your dad, it will pass the message to him for you, OK?
You're folding paper toys for your beloved daughter again?
People might wonder why a man folds paper all the time.
I can't help it. My daughter likes this better than toys.
I'm used to it now.
Dad made this for me before.
Really? What a coincidence? Boat, I'm assigning you a task.
If she wants to talk to her dad, you must pass her message to him right away, OK?
No matter how far away your dad has gone,
you'll never be out of touch with him with the help of the boat.
Kei-kei, why are you here? Who gave you the paper boat?
A woman gave it to me just now. She said it can bring messages to dad.
Where's the woman now?
She just left.

Sis Nail, you've got a package.
What is it?
I bet it's the stuff you bought online.
How would I have the time to shop online?
A phone?
I'm your new boss.
Go to Tung Shing Sauna Room 12 right away. Get the key from the client...
They've finally found me.
I'm coming in.
Double Eight, you're so late.
I'm sorry, boss.
Double Eight took the day off. I'm her substitute.
Are you serious? Why didn't the manager tell me just now?
Don't be mad. My nickname is Handy Girl.
You can get someone else if you're not happy with my service.
Hurry and start then.
Is this OK?
No.
Harder. You're just scratching me.
You want it harder, right?
Of course.
Harder. Get ready. One, two, three. Is that OK?
No.
Still not OK?
Not OK.
Is that OK?
No.
Still no? You're really strong. Never mind. I'll play my trump card.
Is this good?
He's asleep.
Hey, what are you doing?
That was easy. I shouldn't have wasted all that energy.
Whatever.
What are you doing? What's wrong with you?
Sorry. I'm a substitute. Sorry. Cleaning service...
Ground ﬂoor car park in Fung Nin Industrial Building?
He wants me to get a car?
Hey, you're so hot. How could we not notice you?
Why don't we get a room and have fun?
Great...I really can’t believe this.
You two have such a big build, but actually you're just toothpicks.
You better have fun with someone else.
Stop. Did you humiliate our big brothers just now? Stop...
You guys really like oil massage, right? Oil for you then.
It's not working? Is it broken?
So cool?
Are you kidding me?
Bring me the bag? Where? Is there GPS on the motorcycle?
Police. Get off the motorcycle.
Are you setting me up?
Police. Stop.
Come on, fellow cops. Give me a break.
What's your name, new boss?
CIP Cheuk Hoi of CIB.
Cheuk Sir, you've had so much fun.
Hong Sir's UC is really bright. But a fit UC should be better than that.
I have more tests for you.
How many rings was the guy in the sauna room wearing?
I don't remember.
What were the three carton boxes above the lockers in the changing room?
I didn't see them.
What was the model of the first car on the right hand side in the car park?
Are you done asking me questions? It's my turn to ask you.
How did you know I was here? It's this plus this plus this.
Don't think I don't know.
There's no tracking device on the phone or the key. It's in the button.
But no one would notice that because it won't work without a battery.
It depends on these two items.
It gets charged through wireless magnetic resonance.
So you didn't follow me here. I just let you follow me.
Smart. But you're arrogant.
That's how I am.
Why don't you introduce yourself?
My name is Ding Siu-ka. You can call me Nail. WPC66531.
I work in CIB. I've always worked under Hong Sir.
I stay in the foot massage shop to collect intel.
Actually you've got all my info already. Why didn't you come to see me till now?
Hong Sir died suddenly.
All the info on the UC's he was handling is locked in his computer.
It can't be unlocked without his personal password.
We need some time.
How did you find me then?
I saw the paper boat you gave Hong Sir's daughter at his funeral.
Then, in his office, I saw the paper boat
you folded with the napkin from the restaurant where you had met.
That's how I found you.
Why did Hong Sir kill himself! What's going on?
I don't know. What were you following before he died?
My job is to collect intel.
My main target is a bookie gang's head called Yau Tat-fu, nicknamed Flounder.
I provided the intel for you guys to bust Chicken Shing's joint earlier.
Were you following anything important or any target?
No. What's my new assignment? Do I keep collecting intel?
Your new assignment is to help me find the other UC's.
What? We work independently. How can I find them?
If we want to nail Flounder, we can’t just rely on collecting intel.
Hong Sir must have placed a UC in the gang. Do you have any clue as to who he is?
I just sniff around at the edges. How would I know so much?
From now on, get to the heart.
Find the UC for me.
I've never done that before.
You're a stranger to them. It's perfect that you do this job.
Fine. But the mission is so dangerous. So...
OK. I'll raise your subsidy.
Thank you, boss.
But how can I approach them? I don't have any connections.
Recently, there's been a rising star.
He's recruiting casual brokers. His name is Burst Seed.
Burst Seed? You want me to work for him? No way.
What's the matter? Do you know him?
I hate him.
That's great. No one will doubt your motive then.
Do something to get close him. This is an order.
Fine. But on one condition.
Shoot
The old safe house is so worn and smelly. I want a new place.
No problem. I'll make arrangements for that.
I want a double bed so that I can take a nap
when I get tired from writing the log.
I want a 48-inch TV so that I can turn it on to cover the noise.
I want a fridge too so that I can eat and drink when you do the briefing.
It's a safe house, not a villa in a resort.
You won't provide that? Fine. I'll sell the drugs to buy furniture.
Fine. I want to know how much a pack of ﬂour is worth.
Brother Burst Seed,
I hear that our betting pool is almost the same size as Fo's.
Work harder. We must beat him.
Let's collect all the outstanding debts first.
OK.
Let's go to the foot massage shop and collect the $50,000 first.
Speak of the devil. There's the foot massage girl.
Do you have a cramp?
Brother Burst Seed, I want to repay you.
Your mom owes me $50,000. This can only cover the interest.
How about the money you took from me?
Your enemies came to my shop to make trouble.
They slashed my designer sofas. They caused so much damage.
I had to deduct the renovation costs from the debt. This is the balance.
Are you serious? You came to bargain with me?
No, I do want to repay you. But business has been really bad lately.
I'm not making any money. How can I repay you?
Stupid. What does it matter to us if your business is bad?
What do you want?
I'm really at my wits' end.
I hear that you're recruiting brokers to accept bets for you.
I'm here for a job interview. What's your name?
Louse.
Brother Louse, I know everyone here. Everyone calls me Sis Nail.
If you let me in, you'll get a steady ﬂow of business.
If my mom didn't owe you money, I wouldn't have to do this, right?
Brother Louse, why are you so stiff?
I deliver ice. You're so passionate and miserable. It's hard for me not to...
Brother Louse, how about this?
Come to my shop later. I'll treat you to body massage for free...
Brother Burst Seed, what do you say
Brother Burst Seed, she's right. She knows lots of people around here.
She's willing to work hard. I'm sure she wouldn't dare play us, right?
Right.
Let's go.
Where to?
Probation.
Let's go then.
I know a cafe with a special discount in the afternoon. Come on. Buckle up.
Get out.
Where are we going?
Just get out of the car.
Why are you standing there?
I can get lots Of business for you in my shop. You don't need to make me work here.
Come on. Carry something for me.
I just want to be a broker. I don't want to carry things for you.
If you want to be my broker, you have to do it my way.
Look, I usually carry ice when I take the bets. Carry them.
How many packs? Wow...How many packs?
It's not too late if you want to quit now.
Fine. I'll carry them...
Excuse me...Watch out... How far away is it?
Just up ahead. Make a turn.
Excuse me. Here's the ice.
Brother Burst Seed,
why are you so cruel to ask a pretty girl to carry the ice?
I didn't want to, but she begged me for the job.
Otherwise, would he be called Brother Burst Seed?
So many girls want to carry ice for him.
Did you win the match the day before yesterday?
Here's the ice.
I didn’t. I bet on Dortmund beating Bayern 3 to 0.
But it turned out to be the opposite. I lost $3,000.
They're so lousy.
They'll lose tonight since they're playing Napoli.
I'm betting on Napoli beating them 2 to 0 then.
But Napoli was defeated in the two previous matches.
That's not safe.
Do you watch soccer too?
Yes, I like watching soccer.
Maybe you guys are too busy making a living.
So you haven't really analyzed the situation That's not the way to bet for this match.
Tell us more please.
Napoli is three points ahead of Dortmund.
Napoli won in the first round.
It'll take the defensive and launch surprise attacks.
So there won't be a chance for Dortmund to get near the goal.
Neither team is OK. What does that mean? 0 to 0?
Not really. Both teams want to win. 1 to 1. That's the safest.
She's right. I'll listen to you and bet on a draw of 1 to 1.
Me too.
Good.
I'm still betting on Napoli 0 to 0.
Why don't you guys place your bets then?
Right. We'll forget later.
Come on.
There's no signal. Kam, you call.
No signal for me either. How about you?
No signal either.
Don't get upset. You just want to place your bets.
My name is Nail. I take bets too.
All my new clients get a two-month credit period.
Why don't you place your bets with me?
So good? Write it down for me then. Draw 1 to 1. $3,000.
No problem. Can I borrow your pen?
Me too.
1 to 1 draw.
Receipt for three packs of ice. Eight betting slips. Count them.
Good. You work for me from now on.
Foot massage girl, we're colleagues now.
Call me Nail.
Nail, I have a question.
How did you make their cell phones die just now?
You need to upgrade yourself. You can’t just rely on brute force.
Go to Apliu Street to find out how I did it.
She's lecturing you.
Cheuk Sir, you've here?
Can you finish that much food?
You're eating too.
Count me out. I've eaten already.
Never mind. I have three mothers at home.
If I can’t finish the food, I'll pack it for them later.
I won't waste it.
We better meet in the safe house from now on.
Don't be a miser.
Hong Sir used to talk to me while we ate.
Let's get back to the subject.
I told you to get close to Burst Seed. What's your progress?
Very good.
With your assistance, all the lines near the cafe were jammed that day.
That's how I got so many betting slips in one go.
I've proven my worth. I didn't goof off.
I'll get more clients to gain his trust.
He has guts and ambition. He'll get a key position sooner or later.
You must stick with Burst Seed.
If you can get inside Flounder's gang, you'll find our guy very easily.
This is important. You must remember this.
Hey, don't just keep eating. Did you hear what I said?
Copy that. Don't worry.
Burst Seeds betting pool has already exceeded Fo's.
I'm sure he'll get Chicken Shing's post.
It would be perfect if you were as serious with work as the way you eat.
You shouldn't be so serious. Come on. Dig in.
Flounder's not easy to deal with.
You're hanging out with Burst Seed now. You must be careful.
OK.
You carry on eating. I have to go.
So soon?
Here you go.
$500? That just covers the sashimi combo.
I just drank a cup of tea. That's more than enough.
Hong Sir used to pay the bill.
New boss, new ways. Get used to it.
I've suffered a loss this time. I have to finish all the food.
Hey, you're back? Have you collected the debts?
What's the matter?
I couldn't collect some debts today.
Along with the one's I couldn't collect yesterday,
there's a total of ten outstanding.
So many people won't pay? How much does that amount to?
Almost $500,000?
That much?
This is my fault.
I wanted to get more bets. So I approached clients I didn't know.
Those guys were well dressed. So I gave them more credit.
How would I know they would all not pay up?
Don't worry. I will be responsible for the sum.
At first we had beaten Fo.
But now we've lost $500,000.
We've lost now.
This is my fault.
Hey, what are you doing? Are you crazy?
Let me hit myself with the bottle to wake myself up.
Put it down.
What's the matter? People haven't paid up?
You want to perform Shaolin Kung Fu here to raise funds?
You played this dirty trick!
Are you drunk? Ignore them. Let's go.
Did they trap us?
How would so many people not pay up together?
What do you want to do?
I want to beat him up.
Stop it. We have no evidence. Even we did, we'd still get killed.
But...
Use your brain, OK? We need to think.
If you pick a fight with them, you'll just get killed.
We can get the money back. I don't want to lose a buddy...Hello.
Brother Burst Seed,
I've collected the debts from the past couple of days.
Come over and get it.
On my way... I'm going to see Nail to get the money.
Finish this bottle.
I want to see you sitting here calmly when I get back, OK?
$63,000. It's good for a newbie, right?
It's OK.
I heard that you and Fo are competing for Chicken Shing's post. Is that true?
Are you going to win?
You hear so many things.
Did you hear about a bunch of guys not paying up together?
Do you know who they are?
Not paying? Is it our business?
Don't ask so many questions. Just find out for me.
Some people have failed to pay for ten betting slips. Ten?
Check their backgrounds for me.
OK. OK.
What's up, Louse?
I'm sorry, Brother Burst Seed. I screwed up. Forget about me.
Burst Seed, your Louse wanted to bite me. Now he's half dead.
If you want to get your stinky bug back, come with $500,000.
Fo, leave Louse alone. I'll come talk to you
Hey...
Stop it.
Brother Burst Seed, forget about me. I can hang in there.
