Guan Gong's Fireworks Gathering.
It's a grand occasion.
Of course. Everyone here is a big shot.
Brother Flounder...
Get a drink.

Don't worry about me. I need to meet more clients.

I'm saying you're smart.
Burst Seed.
Coming.
Come over here.
What is it, Big?
Brother Flounder...Uncle Cheung, Uncle Ngun.
He's my best assistant Burst Seed. That's his underling Louse.
They're both very capable.
Uncle Cheung, Uncle Ngun.
So you're Burst Seed? I've heard a lot about you lately.
Work hard, young man.
You have a bright future working for Flounder.
Yes. I need to rely on you both too.
Ngun, Cheung, you two are here so early?
Lam, we wanted to come early.
Flounder, I heard that you want to get the lucky red ribbon tonight.
Uncle Lam, if you want to bid for it, I won't compete with you.
I'm just bidding for the company.
If I'm lucky, that means the company is lucky too.
If the company's lucky, everyone will be lucky.
Don't worry. I won't compete with you.
You have so many underlings to bid for you. Why would I get involved?
Fine. We'll see.
Guys. . Hello, everybody.
Hey, Foon-hei's here too.
Hello...Carry on...Hello...
Yau Choi Restaurant. Men's room. 19:27.
Hello, everybody.
Hello, Brother Foon-hei.
Brother Flounder.
You just got out of jail. I'm so happy to see you again.
You're still so tough.
Thank you. Thanks for reserving a table for me.
I just came with three friends. It's really embarrassing.
Doesn't matter. I'll ask each table to send a guy over to sit with you.
What do I have most? Underlings.
Everyone knows you have lots of underlings.
You just got out of jail. I have to give you a big gift.
You're too kind.
It's for your retirement. Sony. I mean this pair of pixiu is for you.
It's better than a fortune oat.
You just got out of jail. You'll need it.
But if you're used to the idle life,
you should retire after this meal.
I really do need this gift. I'll definitely consider your suggestion.
Nail. Three o'clock position on your right. Some people just arrived. Go take a look.
OK. Flounder is talking to a man.
That man came with three guys. They're all strangers.
Figure out a way to get close to them.
OK.
Why is there interference? Maybe someone's doing what you're doing.
Pay attention to the people around you. Perhaps the pal we're looking for is here.
Hurry and find him.
Cheers...
Why is the interference gone?
The interference is back.
You won a lot.
The interference is getting stronger. Who's next to you?
Flounder, Burst Seed and those strangers.
Get closer.
OK.
The interference is gone.
What?
Hey, let's bid for the lucky red ribbon now.
Please be seated.
Guys, I can be the Master today all because of the brothers in Hung Ying.
Today is Guan Gong's birthday.
Big Brother has prepared a lucky red ribbon for us to bid on.
If you get it, you'll never be poor.
All the money will go to the society.
It's a lucky sign. And there'll be a contribution to the society as well.
What do you think?
Wonderful.
OK. I wont waste your time. The highest bidder will get the ribbon.
Don't worry, Brother Burst Seed. The brothers know what to do.
$88,000.
$88,000? Any higher bids?
$881101 .
What's wrong with him? Just a dollar higher?
$100,000.
Good.
$188,001.
Are you playing games?
What?
Are you playing games?
Fo, you just offer a dollar more each time. This will take so long.
The situation is tense. Will something bad happen?
I don't think so. They're just doing this for the society.
Hey, I'm offering as much as I have out of my respect for the society.
I want to bid a dollar more than Burst Seed. So?
Fine. I'll pay $188,002 then.
You're just a casual broker.
Do you have $180,000? I work under Brother Burst Seed.
$180,000 is nothing.
It's a disgrace to raise it dollar by dollar like you.
What did you say?
You shouldn't say that. We're all just in this for the society.
If you have money, you can raise it by ten thousand.
If you're broke, you have to do it dollar by dollar.
Why are you looking down on people?
You're saying I don't have the money?
If you have it, let's pay $200,000 then.
Go to the stage and get the ribbon if you have the money.
You don't? I'm sorry then.
Big Brother is so cool.
Sorry, Fo.
Just now I wanted to withdraw $3,000 as a cash gift.
But I made a mistake and withdrew more than that.
We don't have $200,000, we have $250,000.
Big Brother is amazing.
Big, I wish you good luck every day.
Good.
Brother Flounder, I wish you a long life.
You think it's his birthday today?
I wish Big is the Master every year so he can manage us forever. Right, Big?
I like that.
You're really lucky, Brother Flounder. Your underling is so fit.
He did everything for you.
Now you have money and manpower.
You'll be the next Master for sure.
Thank you.
Congratulations, Brother Flounder.
Is he your underling?
Sort of.
You got a man in a suit as your underling? I thought he was a private tutor.
I really can't believe this.
Sensuitei
Brother Foon-hei, the investment you told me to make for you...
Wait. Let me finish this job first.
OK.
Sing, school's out? Are you hungry?
Done. Come on. Look. I've made your favorite sashimi for you.
Dig in.
I'm full. I don't have an appetite.
That's OK. Have you taken your medicine yet?
Yes.
Do you know how to do your homework?
Do you?
What two numbers follow 2,3. 7, 18 and 47?
If you don't know the answer, please let me go back to Macau.
Why do you suddenly want me to move to Hong Kong?
The homework here is so hard. You guys can't teach me.
The two numbers are 123 and 322.
Don't think you can fool me just by making up the answer.
Will you stay if I can explain it?
Just explain it first.
I'll take that as a yes then.
From the second number on,
multiply it by three and subtract the preceding number.
Then you'll get the next number, right?
Look. You promised to stay. You can't break your promise.
Big deal.
Hey, Sing...Kau.
OK.
This is really embarrassing.
What can I do? I didn't teach him well.
I even went to jail for a couple of years. It's harder to teach him now.
Take your time. It'll be fine later.
I hope so. Just now you mentioned the investment.
I've accumulated a million dollars already.
Already? I'm really right about you.
I need to do something next week. I'm afraid a million dollars is not enough.
How much do you need then?
$6 million.
No problem.
Thank you very much.
Hey, Kobe.
I heard that you're not working in your old firm anymore.
Where are you working now?
Nowhere.
Are you that out of the loop? Brother Kobe is in the mining business now.
Really? Gold mine or copper mine?
Quarry. To be precise, he cut stones in Stanley Prison.
Sorry...
Excuse me. I'm in a hurry. I need to run.
So early? Are you meeting your girlfriend?
Are you going to meet Yan? I heard she's got a new boyfriend.
A man must have money. Let me give you some tips.
That DC Energy that's listed in the States will soar once the market opens tomorrow.
You can put all your money in it.
Really? Thank you. I really have an appointment. I need to run.
Let's drink again next time.
Hey, I heard that his ex-girlfriend is really hot.
Right. You can spend two days just playing with her legs.
What a waste that she dated an inmate.
Tonight when the US stock market opens,
short sell a million shares of DC Energy for me immediately.
Are you serious, Brother Kobe? It's still going up.
I was in charge of its IPO before. I know what it's really worth. Just do it.
OK.
Hi, what a coincidence!
It's been quite a while.
We have nothing to do with each other anymore. Please don't follow me again.
I don't want to see you ever again.
Last item...
ICAC Conference Room. 10:22.
We received an anonymous report.
We've done some research. We think there's a prima facie case.
The information shows that the police has been trying to clamp down
on an illegal bookie gang controlled by a guy nicknamed Flounder.
The police originally wanted to arrest him,
but in the end they only arrested
his head broker Lee Kai-shing, nicknamed Chicken Shing.
However they didn't find any evidence on him.
The operation was planned by CIB alone. So we suspect there's a mole.
Our prime suspect is CIP Cheuk Hoi.
Did you talk to the head of CIB to find out what happened?
Yes. They said all their operations are confidential.
They wouldn't disclose anything.
Yan, your team will follow this case. Keep me posted, OK?
Yes, sir.
Give me a break please. I've watched this so many times.
Eleven gangsters and a louse. Five bottles of wine.
I'll get glaucoma from watching this. You see this?
You really don't see a problem at all?
You've checked all of them already. Those gangsters have piles of rap sheets.
How could they be UCs? Louse is even more improbable.
He's basically a bug. How could he be one of us?
Why was there interference then?
Someone was using the same channel, but it really wasn't our own guy.
Are you sure? My experience tells me that he should be among them.
He wasn't. You think I'm blind?
It won't help even if you give me money. There wasn't a UC.
The radiation from the TV set is very strong It's very harmful to my eyes.
You're really a nuisance.
Fine. I'll help you one last time so that you'll stop.
Come on. Where are you? Where? Hey, I see him. He's there.
So he was blocked by other people. I see his reflection in the mirror.
It's him, right?
Take the money.
Thank you. Tell me if you need anything. I'll definitely help you.
That means the guy with his reflection in the mirror
could very likely be the UC we're looking for.
Under what circumstance would the interference suddenly stop?
Either it was broken or it was wet so that there was short-circuit.
He's our lead.
Are you kidding? Louse?
It looks like he spilled a glass of wine.
I get it.
Louse spilled wine on the colleague's communication device
so the interference stopped.
That makes sense.
Pay me then.
Even if it makes sense, that doesn't mean you're right.
You want the payout? Make sure you remember
the face of the guy in the mirror.
Come on. I have to work hard to remember.
I remember. He's Chum Foon-hei's underling.
So you like eating oysters, Brother Foon-hei?
No, I just like waking them. There's the sizzling.
They're raw at first. Then they're cooked.
I decide how well done they are.
I control everything. It really feels good. Hey, it's done.
Oh, I left the tongs in the kitchen.
I'll get them.
Don't bother.
Doesn't that hurt?
It's hot. It's good training. You must be able to suffer hardship.
Come on. Dig in.
Thank you.
How's the investment?
I've made $6 million already.
But the share price will keep going up. That's why I haven't told you yet.
You met target a day early. Sell it all.
So soon? Let's wait until tomorrow.
I'm content. It's good enough. You keep the balance.
You don't need to pay me so much.
You made money for me. Think of it as your commission. It's decided
Thank you, Brother Foon-hei.
What's he doing?
Nothing. Same as the past couple of days,
he sits on the sofa and watches TV after work.
Now he's gone to the bathroom. I can't see anything.
Eat the noodles.
Cup noodle again? Don't be such a miser. Can't you buy half a roast goose?
At first I could buy that, but you keep asking me for money.
So I had to deduct the expenses from the meal allowance.
I knew you were cheap. You're so mean to your subordinates.
Combo noodles? It's yummy. What did you put in it?
Turd.
What?
Cheese.
So funny.
CIB work is like cooking. Sometimes we just get bits and pieces of intel,
but if you use your brain, you can still find many clues.
Sir, I've already graduated. You don't need to lecture me anymore.
Let's talk about this.
The noodles are really yummy. The raisins in particular.
They've neutralized the richness of the cheese. It's perfect.
I've observed you for a long time. If you don't ask for money all the time,
you should have what it takes to be a good cop.
I think your observation is wrong.
I'm seldom wrong about people.
You'll make mistakes anyway.
I love money. I want a high and steady income.
That's why I become a cop.
So I'm an outstanding but ordinary cop.
You wouldn't understand. Let me see if he's done.
Big, please have some tea.
Well?
We can only reach the elders' voice-mail.
They didn't come even though I asked them?
Are they toying with me?
Louse has gone to pick them up. What's taking him so long? Go check on him.
Yes, Big.
Big, Uncle Cheung and Uncle Ngun are here.
Flounder.
Uncle Cheung, Uncle Ngun, why are you two so late?
Where are the other elders?
I can't reach them. Is something wrong?
You haven't heard?
Foon-hei paid the elders $6 million,
and asked them to nominate him him to be the Master for this term.
We watched you grow up. of course we didn't take his money.
But if you want to be the Master again for another term, you'll have to do something.
He wants to play with me? Fine. Let's play hard then.
There must be a solution. Let's talk about it while we eat.
There are so few of us. I don't want to eat anymore. I don't want to talk.
He wants to be the Master as soon as he gets out of jail?
Don't worry, Big. Let's send someone to intimidate the elders.
See who has the guts not to nominate you.
Me WA era?!'-
If anything happens to the elders, they'll hold Big liable.
It will give Foon-hei a chance to accuse Big.
So we don't do anything?
Big, when I was coming back from Macau a couple days ago,
I saw Chai Fing and Kau trying so hard to please Foon-hei's son.
It seems Foon-hei really cares about his son a lot. Let's kidnap his kid.
See if Foon-hei has the guts to make trouble.
You're so wicked. But I like it. Do it.
I'm on it.
Big, I want to help.
We're doomed.
Stop it or the airbag would pop out.
We're doomed. Are you sure you want to kidnap the kid?
If Foon-hei agrees not to compete for the post of Master,
we'll let him go.
Have you been listening to me at all? I don't mean the kid.
I mean we're in deep trouble. What if Foon-hei takes revenge?
What do we do then? We're doomed.
He loves his son so much. He won't do anything reckless.
That's even worse. What if he goes to the police?
We'll get arrested. This is kidnapping.
We'll go to jail for eight to ten years for that.
I'm such a handsome guy. I'll be a target in prison.
You need to take risks if you want to get promoted.
Why are you panicking? I'll make sure you're safe.
What if I really get sodomized? How can I face people in the future?
Are you OK? I told you to stop. See?
Don't just keep eating.
Do you remember the difference between similes, metaphors and metonymy?
Yes. Saying Kobe looks like a monkey is a simile.
Saying Kobe is a monkey is a metaphor.
Saying a monkey gives me tutorial lessons is a metonymy.
All correct. Remember that and you won't be so confused.
I know, long-winded monkey.
You're talking back to me? I won't treat you to pizza next time.
Brother Kobe, you're not like Chai Fing and Kau.
You know how to do all of my homework.
You're so smart. You don't need to work for my dad.
That's none of your business, nosy monkey.
Just asking.
Stop eating. Have you taken your anticoagulant pills yet?
I forgot to bring them with me.
Are you kidding? What's wrong with you?
It's your fault.
You kept asking me to do spelling. So I forgot to get my meds.
You're blaming me? Stop eating.
Wipe your hands clean. Go home and take your medicine.
Get in the car. Now.
Sing'
Come on.
Don't be scared.
Cover your face.
Run.
Sing...Run...
Stop.
Get in the car.
Let's get out of here.
Start the oar.
Don't move.
Sensuitei
Closed.
Hello. What? You can't find them? Why are you calling then?
Keep looking. Bye.
Multi-media message.
Three cars collided in Kowloon Bay this afternoon.
Two seven-seater vans and a private car were involved in the accident.
Some pedestrians said that after the collision,
several armed men got out of the seven-seater vans...
Brother Flounder, Brother Foon-hei has come to see you.
Send him in.
They assaulted the people in the private car
The other seven-seater van and the private earthen left.
The police are not excluding the possibility that...
Brother Flounder, I haven't come to visit you since I got out of jail.
This is a small gift for you.
Brother Foon-hei, you're a senior member. You're really so kind. Have a seat please.
No, thanks. I have rheumatism. I prefer standing.
Why did you come to see me out of the blue? Is your son getting married?
You must be joking. My son is still in primary school.
He was kidnapped.
Are you serious?
How much do the kidnappers want? Do you need my help?
They don't want money.
They want me to give up running for the post of Master.
That's serious! Wait a second, Foon-hei. Do you think I kidnapped your son?
No, I don't mean that at all.
I'm an old man. I was in jail for a long time.
I have no ambition at all.
I just want to spend the rest of my life with my son and be happy.
As for running for the post of Master? That's none of my business.
I don't know how people got such a misunderstanding.
Then you should keep a low profile. You caused the misunderstanding.
You got your son into trouble too. What for?
I didn't know it would end up like this. It doesn't matter what I say now.
I hope you can spread the news that
I have no intention to run for the post of Master. Please.
No problem. Since it's clarified now, your son should be fine. Don't worry.
Thank you, Brother Flounder.
We belong to the same society. You don't need to say that.
OCT B Headquarters. 22:33.
Chum Foon-hei, are you serious? You're asking us to find your son for you?
My son is missing. Shouldn't I seek help from the police?
You'd be fine if you didn't run for the post of Master.
You know very well who's kidnapped your son.
Do you know you're wasting police resources?
Yip Sir, I'm a good citizen.
Don't accuse me if you don't have any evidence.
You keep talking crap.
I think you're the one who's wasting police resources.
Why don't you ask someone in charge to talk to me?
What did you say?
If I remember correctly, you're OCT B. CIB is in charge of kidnapping cases.
You can't do anything here. Why don't you ask CIB's head to talk to me?
Don't waste our time.
Shut up. You can't teach me how to do my job
Yip Sir, can I talk to Mr Chum in private please?
Mr Chum, I'm a CIP of CIB.
I'm the officer in charge of your son's case.
It seems that you know very well how the police force works.
I was a cop before. We were sort of colleagues.
Do you agree, CIP Cheuk Hoi? It's not that hard to guess.
Fifteen years ago, there were three rookies with lots of potential.
One of them works in Narcotics now.
One was injured five years ago. So he works in PPRB.
You're the remaining one.
You've been a CIP for six years. You've worked in CIB for three years.
I don't think I'd be be wrong about this. Am I correct, Cheuk Sir?
You've been a CIP for six years. You've worked in CIB for three years.
I don't think I'd be wrong about this. Am I correct, Cheuk Sir?
You're so good at making guesses. You should know who's kidnapped your son.
I won't make any guesses. I don't want to.
But I believe this can help you find my son...
As for how it can help you, I think you'll figure it out.
You're so nosy...
If you want the kid to be fine, don't play tricks anymore.
You're such a loser.
What's your problem? Don't you burp when you drink beer?
I told you to grab the kid. You grabbed the guy.
You've made a mess of this.
He distracted the guy so you could grab the kid.
Help. Anyone there? Help.
What's the matter?
Sing had surgery on his cardiac valves. He needs to take anticoagulant pills.
He left the medicine at home.
Hurry and buy the medicine for him.
Stop pretending.
You won't get paid if he dies. Why are you standing there? Let's go.
Boss, do you have this medicine?
Yes.
Give me two boxes please.
Cheuk Sir, we checked.
Not too many places in Hong Kong sell anticoagulant pills.
There are altogether 32 pharmacies.
CIB Operations Support Team. 10:40.
Have you set the cameras yet?
Done.
Cheuk Sir, we've got something.
What is it?
Head, a guy is buying anticoagulant pills.
Zoom in.
Yes, sir.
Attention. The boss had showed up at drugstore 17. Chinese male.
30 years old. Dark blue sweater with a hoodie.
Grey pants. Black fanny pack. Car one get over there now.
Copy. Oar one on the way.
The boss has left. Car one, when will you get there?
Two minutes.
Get there ASAP. We have to bring the boss in no matter what.
The oar is parked on the next block on your right.
Are you playing tricks? I told you to buy the medicine.
You went to a drugstore with a CCTV?
What if Foon-hei has reported this to the police?
What if the police track us?
That's the closest drugstore.
The kid's dying. I want to get the job done quickly.
Why are you panicking? I bet Foon-hei wouldn't dare report this to the police.
Start the oar. Why are you looking at me?
Start the oar.
Brother Kobe, I don't feel good.
Don't be scared.
They'll be back with the medicine very soon.
Sing, do you want to go home sooner? If you do, you need to do something for me.
Sing...how are you? Talk to me.
What now?
Sing, how are you? Talk to me, Sing.
What now?
He can't hang in there. He's suddenly gone into shock.
Are you serious?
Untie me. I need to do CPR for him.
What?
Come on. He can't hang in there much longer.
OK.
Hurry.
Coming
Come on.
OK.
Hurry.
I'm untying you. I didn't tie the knot.
Sing, don't be afraid... Let's get out of here.
Hey, stop.
Sing...Run.
Run.
Stop. Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you.
Run...
Don't be afraid.
Run.
Stop.
Run.
See? I told you not to run around. Now you've tripped.
If you play tricks again,
I'll make you sit on a wheelchair for the rest of your life.
Running?
Big, something's wrong with the kid.
What's the matter?
He keeps bleeding.
Sing has to take anticoagulant pills. His wound can't form a scab.
Get him a doctor or his life will be in great danger.
Now what? We'll get busted if we take him to the hospital.
What are you doing?
I'll get him a doctor.
What if we get tracked?
If we don't get the kid a doctor, he'll die for sure.
If he dies, we'll both be in trouble.
All three are beautiful. Why don't you buy all of them?
They're beautiful. But it's too expensive.
How about this? Give me a 25 percent discount.
Next time when you come to my foot massage shop,
I'll give you a free manicure.
You're so good to your three mothers.
I'll give you a 25 percent discount then.
I'll pack them for you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Burst Seed.
Hello. What? You want one now? OK. Bye.
Hello, it's me. Burst Seed called just now. He needs an unlicensed doctor right away.
OK. No problem.
When you see the doctor,
find a chance to put the bottle of painkillers in his kit.
There's a tracking device inside. That's all you need to do.
Hello, doc.
Hello.
What's the matter with your hand?
I tripped when I took a bath last night. I dislocated it.
I see. Let me carry your bag for you.
No, thanks.
It's fine. It's so light.
I can't ask you to do that.
It's fine.
No, thanks.
See? I told you Pd carry it for you.
Hey, here comes the oar. Let's go.
OK.
What's the matter with your hand?
I hurt it.
Hurry and get in the car.
Be careful. Bye.
Wait. You're coming with us too.
Me?
I'm not sure if his hand's OK. Come on.
I only know how to do massages.
Come on.
Fine.
You said you'd get him a doctor. Why hasn't the doctor arrived yet?
Why are you complaining?
Go in.
What are you looking at?
Why did I ask you to come here? Treat the kid.
Come over here.
Hey, why are you doing this?
You don't need to include me if you want to do something big.
I only know how to do massages. Let me leave. I didn't see anything.
Look, I work under you. I won't sell you out.
My lips are sealed.
Shut up. See what you can do to help.
There's so much blood. I can't do this. I pass out when I see blood.
Get me the cotton and the disinfectant.
I really can't do this. My hands will shake.
I don't know how to do this. I'll get him killed.
Hurry and take him to the hospital. You can't help him like this.
That's right.
Shut up. What are you pretending to be? A tree? Give him a hand.
Fine. You don't need to yell at me.
When will our other friends come?
Soon.
We're ready. What's the situation?
The dogs are in the house. You guys with gear. You go in first.
Tung, you guys stay outside and surround the place.
I don't want the dogs to escape. The rest of you go in with me.
Copy that.
Police. Freeze.
Freeze.
