Ouch. My stomach hurts.
Gate duty is a rookie's job.
You can't leave your post even for a minute when you're on gate duty.
I also remember you told me that you had thought of getting together with me.
I did think about getting together with you.
What did you mean?
Ah...
Dad, Mom... He wants to frame me.
Get in the car.
Is there some kind of vested interest between you and Jimmy's parents,
that's why you're so protective of him?
Some people think like you. They say the law is a rich man's game.
You still need to answer to your own conscience.
Are you used to this job?
Madam Chi, it's OK.
But the pay is much lower than in the mahjong school.
You won't let me work there. Otherwise I could make more money.
I told you that rule seven of the supervision order stipulates that
you can only work jobs approved by your supervisor.
I won't let you work in a mahjong school
because many bad people go there.
If you can't resist the temptation, you'll gamble again.
I won't gamble again or my daughter won't talk to me anymore.
That's right...How come you're suddenly here?
Auntie Pan.
Hello.
I was working nearby. I want to have lunch with you.
OK. Auntie Pan, I'm leaving now. I'll come see you again later.
OK. Thank you, Madam Chi.
Bye.
I know a cafe nearby. The food there is cheap.
You still work so hard even though you're limping?
Don't go anywhere. Let's eat here.
Here? This is a high class club.
Come on.
Cheung, pull over.
Hey, Donald. What a coincidence? You came here for lunch?
Yes.
Good. I want to talk to you. Why don't I join you?
OK.
See you in the restaurant then.
Why don't we have lunch some other time?
Why? Come on. I'll just talk to him for a short while. Come on.
Hello, uncle.
We met at an art exhibition before. My name is Chi Chun-kwong.
Let's find a place to talk after lunch.
That won't be necessary. There are no secrets between us.
I need to hurry back to the office to work after lunch.
OK. Recently I decided to publish an autobiography.
All proceeds will be donated to charities.
I've talked to the consultant company about the contents of the book.
I need your participation in two chapters.
OK.
There's a chapter on family.
The editor wants you to talk about how you see your father.
You just have to talk. Someone will write it for you.
The other chapter is even simpler. I need you to take a family photo.
I thought only great men publish autobiographies.
Why do you give me such attitude every time I talk to you?
You think the magazines haven't written enough about you, me and Candy?
You want to take a family photo for people to laugh at us?
It happened so long ago. How come you still can’t let it go?
It's not that I can't let it go. The reporters can't.
The fact is, it's really funny. How could a dad steal his son's girlfriend?
If they make up stories again, I'll ask my lawyer to sue them right away.
Sue them for what? They're just stating the fact only.
They've done that for so many years. They still aren't tired of it yet.
Yung Sir, I think I better leave.
No. There's nothing you can't hear.
The newspapers and magazines have already reported our story.
Anyway, now you know why I won't see you.
We have nothing to talk about.
I saw attorney Ma a couple of days ago.
He seems to know Ally quite well.
I don't know if you know that.
If you do, that means you already know Ally very well.
I just want to remind you that she's not a simple woman.
You must take precautions against her.
Take precautions? Against what?
Ally, you're here?
Hello, Mr Yung.
Ally is the consultant for my autobiography.
So she incited you to publish your autobiography.
Mr Yung is a top businessman in town. He has a lot of life experience.
He wants to publish an autobiography
to share his experience and help the young people.
Would he need me to incite him to do that?
By saying that, you're belittling Mr Yung's wit.
I remember I told you before that you're like my dad.
I won't keep you two. Let's go.
Someday you will change your opinion of me.
Morning Sir.
This is hard on you. It's windy. Don't catch a cold.
Thank you for your concern, Mak Sir. I'm OK. I can take care of myself.
Don't worry. You won't have to endure this for long.
Thank you, sir.
I won't have to endure this for long?
Last time Mak Sir said that to me, he gave me a raise.
That means I'm getting a promotion soon?
Thank you, sir.
When Chan Sir's assistant retires, I think Old Devil can take up the post.
Brother Kwai?
Yes.
His rank is only AO1.
The person in this post keeps Cat A's master key.
He has to inspect the entire Cat A complex
and supervise the prisoners in terms of discipline.
He has to handle all paperwork related to Cat A's inmates.
It's a heavy workload.
That's correct. Usually this post is filled by an officer.
But given Old Devil's experience, he should be able to manage.
I know he's responsible for Yip Sai-heung's assault on Puny.
But sometimes it's really hard to say since he needed to go to the bathroom.
He's already learned a lesson.
He won't make such a basic mistake again.
I've known him for years. He's a responsible person.
Last time his report was quite detailed. He's honest and objective.
All the details were clearly written.
Almost all the competent officers here have been trained by him.
He's my classmate. He's retiring in a couple of years.
This could be his last chance to show his competence.
If he could get a promotion in rank before he retires,
he'll get much more for his pension.
Mak Sir, what you say makes sense.
But this post is the lifeline of Cat A's security.
I suggest picking someone with a greater sense of responsibility
and better ability to cope with emergencies to fill this post.
You have a candidate in mind?
I think Q can do it.
Q? I can’t believe you would recommend him.
Actually his performance has been quite good.
It's true that sometimes he doesn't follow the rules.
But if we look at this from a different angle,
we can say that when there's an emergency,
he' be more ﬂexible than other people. He can improvise.
The most controversial part is his temperament.
Sometimes he's too sympathetic. He sympathizes too much with the inmates.
But I think this shortcoming could be positive too.
He treats people with kindness.
So he's more committed to his job than his colleagues.
Most importantly, he has the heart.
It's really important to have heart.
Back when my boss promoted me, he said that about me too. How about this?
Q will be our choice. Old Devil will be the reserve.
If Q fails to perform, then Old Devil will take up the post.
Yes, sir.
You're so happy today. You won the Mark Six lottery?
Better than that. I was exiled to the border in Stanley.
But today I was told that I could return to Central.
It's like a period drama. Border and Central?
I thought you wouldn't understand. That's why I described it like that.
But you still don't get it.
Never mind. It's OK as long as you're happy.
Hey, did you go to the child care center to visit Hang-hang?
Yes. There was a birthday party for a kid.
Hang-hang was playing like crazy. He even danced for that kid.
Must be the chicken dance. I wish I could hug him and kiss him.
Oh, I hear that inmates can write a letter to a judge
to ask for a reduction in their term.
Is that true?
Yes.
Can you write it for me?
Please tell the judge I'm a good person. I donate to charities.
I donate money during the Tung Wah Charity Show.
When I see an old woman crossing the road,
most of the time I'll volunteer to help.
What else?
Actually a letter like that is submitted to the judge after conviction.
But not everyone can write it.
Only community leaders or justices of peace can do that...
But I have a suggestion.
What is it? Tell me.
When you assaulted the other inmate, it was shot by the CCTV.
That means there's concrete evidence.
It's very likely that you will be refused legal aid
since they won't want to waste time and taxpayers' money.
Is that so?
If it's very likely that you'll be convicted,
I suggest that you try to do the mitigation yourself.
You must be sincere. Let the judge feel your remorse.
I can't. I can't do it because I know I'll say something wrong.
I'm sure I'll be speechless in court. I won't be able to say anything.
You can write it down and memorize it.
Can you write it for me please?
You're doing that again? I told you that you have to show remorse.
I can look over what you write. But I can't write it for you.
It's your own experience and feelings. Only you know them the best.
So you must write it yourself. The effect will be the best then.
Besides, if I write it for you, the judge maybe able to tell.
If he thinks you're not sincere, it'll be worse then.
OK. Whatever you say.
Watch your hand when you close the key drawer.
Thank you.
Q Sir, you're in charge of Cat A's master key from now on.
Don't worry. It's my master now.
A word play?
Mentor.
The double locking and unlocking of Cat A's gate
in the morning and the evening depends on this key.
In other words, from now on,
you're holding the lifeline of the entire Cat A complex,
Copy that, Mentor.
Also, our master key is like a cop's service pistol. You mustn't lose it.
Copy that. I will work hard.
Yeah. Good luck.
I'll get back to work.
Morning, sir.
Mak Sir...
Yes?
You told me earlier at the gate that I wouldn't have to toil so much.
What did you mean?
I mean it's getting warmer.
It won't be so windy. It won't be so tough anymore.
I see.
Is Leung Sir inside?
Yes, he's inside.
Bring in the file.
Yes, sir. I'll call you later.
Chiu Sir, go in. I'll pick it up for you.
Thank you.
CSD Minutes of Meeting.
Assistant Officer Lo Lap-kwai taking charge of Cat A.
Chief Superintendent Mak Shung-lai
recommended Assistant Officer 1 Lo Lap-kwai
to take charge of the master key for the cells in Cat A Complex.
He's of the view that Lo Lap-kwai is well experienced and serious at work.
He could be given a chance to do so.
Team leader Man Sheung-shing is of the view that
Lo Lap-kwai is not the best candidate to be in charge of the master key.
He proposes that Officer Kiu Ching-kiu is a better candidate
because his ability to cope with contingencies is better.
The Chief Superintendent agrees
and has decided that Kiu Ching-kiu will be in charge of the master key
while Lo Lap-kwai will be the reserve.
If Kiu Ching-kiu's performance is not satisfactory,
Lo Lap-kwai will take his place.
Uncle Ching.
Yes?
What's so good?
I have extra food today.
Wasn't that shut down already?
I have my way. You want some? Come on.
Give me some. Thank you, Uncle Ching.
Hey, Uncle Ching.
Yes?
What kind of meat is this?
I made it myself. It's nice.
You gave me crew's meat?
Hey, you killed people.
What's the big deal about eating crow's meat?
Chung, here's the muster chit.
Q Sir.
Darn it. I dare you to say that again.
Are you serious? I gave you crow's meat. Now you're upset with me?
Why are You two arguing?
Darn it. You're a freak.
Stop fighting.
Come on.
Stop it.
Stop it...
Stop it. Don't move.
Shut up. Chu, call the hospital.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
Chu, how's Uncle Ching?
He's fine. Dr Tsu said there were just some minor scrapes.
Lam told us everything.
He said Uncle Ching picked up a dead crow and roasted it.
He even treated him to the meat.
So scary? How could he roast a dead crow?
He even ate it. Hey, get back to work.
OK. Yes, sir.
Well? You're done with double locking?
Sorry, Man Sir. I lost the master key.
Listen up. Q just reported to me that
the master key for Cat A Complex is missing.
We must form a search squad immediately.
All off-duty staff must take part in the search. No one may get off.
Yes, sir.
What's the occasion today? We don't need to go back to the cell?
Is it the Chief Executive's birthday?
Chief Executives birthday? There should be an amnesty then, right?
Quiet.
Oh, no. Something's wrong.
Mo, why hasn't the gate been opened yet?
You go this way. You go that way.
Yes, sir.
Li Sir, no one's come to open the gate. So we don't need to go back to the cell?
I'm sleepy.
We still need to wait? I want to pee, OK?
Go.
I want to poop too.
Wait till Biu comes back.
Get me Cat A Team Four's spare master key.
What's the matter? We've been waiting for so long.
That's right. I've already pooped. What's going on?
That's right. I hate waiting so long.
Sun.
Good evening, sir.
Come on. When can we go back to our cells?
Come on.
We've been waiting for so long.
Quiet. I'm doing the double lock today.
Yes, sir. Return to your cells. Table one go first.
Old Devil.
You scared me to death.
Scared you to death? Don't die yet. Help us find the key first.
If we don't fine it, Q's life will be miserable.
What's the matter?
It's here.
It's here? That's really great.
It's here!
I thought your performance was quite good.
That's why I recommended you to be in charge of the master key.
I can't believe you screwed up so soon after you got the job.
Sorry, sir.
I need to reassess your competence.
Get out. Write me a report. I want every detail to be clearly laid out.
Copy that.
Get out.
Yes, sir.
Chu, go to the hospital too.
I'm going to the Do office to see Lam give his statement.
Yes, sir.
Go.
Hey, you two hurry up.
OK.
Clean the place.
Brother Kwai, your shoelace has come loose.
Stop it.
Stop fighting.
Team leader Man Sheung-shing is of the view that
Lo Lap-kwai is not the best candidate to be in charge of the master key.
He proposed that Officer Kiu Ching-kiu is a better candidate
because his ability to cope with contingencies is better.
Over $300,000? So we still owe them so much money?
Now what?
Our daughter told me a couple of days ago that she will stop taking piano lessons
after she's taken the grade eight pianoforte exam.
She wants to save the money for her older brother's tuition fees.
She said that even though she's just a young girl.
This shows shes under pressure.
Pressure? Only you guys are under pressure? I'm under a lot of pressure too.
I'm sorry. Q. This was mine.
Besides, this is my last chance. Please give it to me first.
Good. Thank you, Grandma.
Come on.
It's hard work for you to cook for me so late at night.
That's why I always call you grandma-baby.
So lame. Come on.
Thank you.
Q, you're still young. You still have lots of chances.
I know. That's why I'm turning my anger and grief into appetite.
I'll be fine when I'm full.
It's easy to raise my grandson. Whenever he's unhappy, he eats.
Then he's fine.
He just need to eat five bowls of rice. It works every time.
Thank you, Grandma.
Come on...This is the fifth bowl.
I feel so content. Grandma is right.
Once I've eaten five bowls of rice, I'll forget all the unhappy things.
OK. My job is done. I'm taking a bath. You carry on.
Thank you, Grandma. Goodnight.
Goodnight, Madam Lo.
Mentor, I want to tell you something. But you must promise not to scold anyone.
What?
Don't worry. It's not a trick.
Let's not talk about this.
You're in a tight spot now. What's going on?
We went to tea the other day. You wife told me your problem.
When you were away, I asked her to give me your credit card number.
I've repaid $100,000 for you.
Hey.
Look. You promised me not to scold anyone including your wife and me.
No, I...
Don't be so long-winded.
I don't know how to manage my money. I just put it in the bank. It's OK.
No, I can’t accept such a huge sum.
Do you want me to work out the details?
You've taught me so many things all these years.
As such, I still owe you a lot. Mentor, please take the money.
OK. I'll take it then. Q, it's late. I better go.
Goodnight, mentor.
Low-sugar green tea.
Your 21-day solitary confinement will be over soon.
Yes. Madam told me that I can't go back to BB ward
since I don't have Hang-hang with me now. I have to go to the general ward.
You must be careful there.
The inmates there are not as kind as those in BB ward.
I know. In the past, we had our babies in the ward.
Everyone talked softly so we wouldn't scare the babies.
But I'll be fine. I don't look like a pushover.
I'm sure no one will have the guts to bully me.
Don't talk about bullying all the time. I'm worried you can’t hold yourself back.
You must suck it up no matter what happens, OK?
Did you lose a mahjong game today? You look so down.
I don't gamble.
Didn't you say the other day that you were transferred to Central?
You had such a big smile.
But today you're just frowning. You look so frustrated.
Really?
Hey.
What are you doing?
I used to do that for Hang-hang to cheer him up.
You're treating me like Hang-hang?
I'd be so lucky if you were Hang-hang.
You're tall and handsome. You have a bright future in your career too.
Actually I had a problem with my job.
Just that? Transfer to another cell then.
Transfer to another cell?
It's like people working in a department store.
If they're unhappy working in the electrical appliances department,
they can apply for a transfer to the toys department.
Good idea. Work in another district.
At least I won't have to face that Chimpanzee. I hate seeing him.
Good suggestion. I'll think about it.
Look. I've given you my advice. Can you do something for me then?
No problem.
Can you buy some clothes for Hang-hang?
Just that?
If possible, can you buy him underwear, socks, shoes and shirts too?
OK.
Can you also buy him water bottles, toy cars, crayons and sketch books?
No problem. Anyway, I'll buy whatever he needs.
Thank you very much.
Ting Ho-ho, your 21-day solitary confinement is over.
Pack your things and move to the general ward.
This is your bed. You'll work in the book binding workshop.
Your wages are $54.62 a week Do you understand?
Yes.
Other people will come back from their workshops soon.
There'll be a break later. Then it's meal time. Do you understand?
Yes.
Put down your things.
Tam Yuet-king.
Wu Ngan-ying.
Ask her to come over later.
Hey, Sis King wants to see you.
This is our Sis King. Everyone in Lo Wu knows her.
Your name is? Ho-ho? You're in jail. That's not good, Ho-ho.
I like that name a lot. I'm a peaceful person.
That's good. Look, let's befriends.
We're fellow inmates.
You agreed. When you buy candies and biscuits in future,
remember to pay the fee.
What fee?
That's the rule here.
All of Sis King's friends buy her cigarettes.
I don't smoke.
Who says you need to smoke? You're treating me to cigarettes.
I need to save the money for my son.
Ouch.
Well? You're lame. You can't fight me. Will you pay or not?
I'll pay.
Good. I told you to do that. You just wanted to do it the hard way.
Darn it. I wouldn't have put up with you if it weren't for my son.
Does it hurt? Don't offend her.
She's really a killer whale. She'll eat you.
My name is Koo Wai-chu. They call me Silly Chu.
I'll be your friend. But I won't ask you to give me cigarettes...
Oh, I need to poop. I'll talk to you again later.
Ting Ho-ho.
Hey.
Why do you want to meet here? You want to buy something for Ka-ka?
We're just going to the hospital to visit her.
There's no need to buy her anything. Actually I need your help.
There are two things. First, I want to buy some clothes for Ting Ho-ho's son.
I need your suggestions.
Secondly, I want your opinion too. I want to be transferred out.
First, when did you get so close to Ting Ho-ho?
She said she didn't remember you.
Secondly, why do you suddenly want to be transferred out?
First, I've declared my visits with Ting Ho-ho.
If you're worried, like Man Sir does, that I might hang out with an inmate,
you can forget about it.
Second, my job in Stanley's not going well. I want to be in a new environment.
I've worked in Stanley for three years already.
It's normal that I'd want to work in another place, right?
Since we're already here, let's pick the clothes quickly. This one.
Would you like to work in Tung Tau?
Tung Tau? No way. I'll only see those people.
How about Tong Fuk?
That's so far away.
If I work the morning shift, I'll have to get up at 4am. No good.
Cape Collinson?
I lost my way in Chai Wan when I was a little boy.
I'm scared of that place. No way.
Hei Ling Chau then.
No way. I repaid all my debt once I graduated from STI. Not again.
You hate all the places.
Why don't you work as a training officer in STI then?
OK. I studied criminology in university.
If I work there, I can share my knowledge with the rookies.
That's good. I'll go pay.
Everything?
Of course. I trust your judgment. Let's go. Ka-ka is waiting for us.
It's good you're being discharged.
We don't have to travel all the way here to visit you.
What? You find this really tedious? You haven't bought me anything at all.
Why buy so many things? It's not environmentally friendly.
Hey, your hair covers the part that was shaved.
Really? Take a picture so I can see.
Kwong, take a picture.
Shoot her head with mine. She looks like a wounded soldier.
Who's wounded? I won't take a picture with you. Go away.
You're so new
You shouldn't be called Yiu Oi-ka. Change your name to Big Scar.
Kwong, hit him for me.
Copy that.
Hit him till he gets a big scar.
I really can't tell the three of you work in a disciplined force.
I thought you guys had to be rigid and fierce.
But you're not like that at all.
No. Actually I'm really fierce. I just pretend in front of you.
By the way, Ka-ka. When will your uncle come pick you up?
He should be on the way. He's coming from Stanley.
By the way, is he your biological uncle?
He's got the key to your home. He goes there when he wants.
He fetches you clean clothes and books too.
He watched me grow up. He's closer to me than my biological uncle.
I see. So you travelled between England and the States when you were a little girl.
Then you came to study in Hong Kong. So he's your guardian?
No, my guardian is my uncle. But he's not in Hong Kong all the time.
When I went to school,
Uncle Man went to see the teachers and get my report cards for me.
So he's half your uncle then.
But why didn't you stay with your dad or mom?
Why did you study in Hong Kong?
I missed my classmates. But they left when we went to university.
I see.
Ka-ka.
Yes?
We're going to go buy drinks. We'll be right back.
OK.
Usually you're not that smart. This time you're really smart.
Of course. It's a capital offence to get in the way of them getting to know each other.
I met Brandon last time.
He's handsome and rich. He's even an architect.
But Ka-ka still broke her promise to marry him.
I think Brother Fei upstairs doesn't stand a chance.
Last time Brandon was in France.
This time she can see this guy Fei every day. There's a chance.
But I hope Man Sir would let them talk.
When he arrives later, he'll be a gooseberry.
Sometimes Man Sir should be more open.
He's so conservative.
Someone should talk to Man Sir
and tell him that Ka-ka's not a little girl anymore.
He shouldn't hang out with her all the time.
She can't get a boyfriend like that.
When the news of her being hit on the head was reported the other day,
people said they're always together.
They even speculated that his mistress took revenge.
That's so stupid.
There's nothing to drink here. Let's go to the canteen.
Let's go.
I also heard them say that Man Sir raised a little girl to date her.
They're crazy.
Hello.
Where are you? You're still not here yet?
I'm still in Stanley. A former classmate's here from Canada.
He's leaving tomorrow. So I want to meet him tonight.
What?
I can't come pick you up. I'm sorry. Is Fei with you?
Ask him to keep you company. Ask him to see you home, OK?
OK.
You can even go to dinner with him if you like talking to him.
Go home after dinner.
You've been in hospital for so long. I know you want to relax a bit, right?
OK. Go see your friend then.
OK. Bye.
Ka-ka, are you OK? You look so down after talking on the phone?
Nothing. We can go now. Uncle Man can't make it.
OK. I'll take you home then.
It's so late. Why don't we go to dinner first?
Let's wait till Q and Kwong come back.
OK.
Hey, you said you were picking up Ka-ka from hospital.
Why did you ask me to come out?
Someone's picking her up. She doesn't need me.
Who is it? A boy?
I have to let her date.
I asked you before. You said there's nothing between you two.
So you really should let her date.
Hey, there's no concrete evidence for Jimmy's case.
What? Why?
The only woman in the restroom that day said she didn't see anything.
Her testimony is exactly like Jimmy's.
I think they prepared their statements together.
You mean Ally bribed the witness?
I really don't know if she did it. But I believe she suggested it.
Let's not talk about her. Hey, Q lost the master key earlier, right?
That's even worse. Anyway I'm so disappointed in him.
Let's not talk about anything then. Cheers.
Ka-ka, which block is it? Ka-ka, are you OK? Did you drink a lot?
Silly girl, why did you drink so much?
You're so drunk. You must be really unhappy.
Why don't I kiss you?
Hey, what are you doing?
You got so drunk because you wanted to give me a chance.
You're crazy.
Hey...
Get off me...
Jerk.
Hey. Stop it.
Uncle Man.
Get out of the car.
Get out of the car. Get out. Jerk. You molested her?
Kill me. You'll go to jail for that.
Uncle Man.
I've been wrong about people time and again. Q, Ally and even Fei.
I was such an idiot not to pick you up.
I even told you to go to dinner with him.
How is that different from turning you over to a beast?
No, that's not how it is.
You're mad because you failed to protect me time and again.
Actually you care about me.
You've never behaved like that. Just now, you lost it.
You acted crazy. Have you fallen for me?
I didn’t lose it.
If I had, I would have killed him already.
Last time when I got hurt,
you told me seriously that you had thought of getting together with me.
What did you mean? What did you mean? Have you fallen for me?
Why wont you admit it? Admit it. It's because I've fallen for you too.
I've liked you since I was a little girl. But I didn't understand then.
Now I'm a big girl. I know what it is.
If you like me too, we don't need to hide it so painfully.
What's the matter? We're not criminals. We can see each other openly.
Tell me please. Tell me you've fallen for me too.
Ka-ka...
What are you two doing here?
