Remember: Perseverance changes a person's capability.
Because I've fallen for you.
Pose as a couple?
You've found someone to replace me. I guess you don't need me anymore.
I suggest you plead for yourself in front of the judge.
Let him feel that you're truly remorseful.
OK. I'll do that then.
I want to request a song for the person who helped me.
He's called Gingerbread Man.
I did it. STI's accepted me.
I can finally join the family business.
Yeah...
No, Ka-ka understands me. Only you don't.
If you really wanted to help her, you should have told me.
You simply don't understand your younger sister.
300 No Fear Bears. You're really so good to me.
That exceeds the care of an uncle for his friend's niece.
Why don't we be more sensible? Why look for trouble?
What's the matter? You want to cry?
Are you a friend? Come drink with me.
It's my last day today. I need to give this back to Chiu.
I don't want to owe him, OK? OK. Let's get a drink.
I want to resign and leave Hong Kong for a while.
I feel like I'm watching an exciting movie
and I went to the washroom and missed everything.
Let me catch up a bit. What happened?
Who made you so upset? That Chimpanzee?
It really is him. What did he do wrong this time?
He's made you so upset.
Can you keep a secret for me?
Is it about romance?
Bingo.
Miss, the way you two interact with each other has all the markings of two lovers.
How would I not notice?
I can't hold myself back.
Given your qualities,
it's like you're going to a six-star hotel for buffet.
There are bird's nest, abalones, black trufﬂes and everything.
But you don't choose any of those. You just pick a bowl of plain rice. Why?
Because when I'm hungry,
it's this bowl of rice that fills me with warmth and makes me feel full.
It's exactly what I need.
I fell for him over the years without realizing.
Over the years? So when did it start?
I really don't know. I think it's cumulative.
When I was eight years old, Dad and Mom took me to a merry-go-round.
I was sitting alone on a wooden horse. I was so happy.
But after it made a round and returned to the starting point,
I saw Dad and Mom quarreling.
Then I rode another round. They were quarreling even more fiercely.
I told you Ka-ka can't stay with me. You take her to the States.
I work around the clock.
How would I have the time to look after her?
She should go to England with you.
You have to work. So do I.
I need to ﬂy more frequently than you do for my fashion business.
How can I look after her?
Don't make excuses. You just want time to have fun.
I have my own life in the States too. She can't live with me.
Don't push her on to me.
I've suffered enough for her these past eight years.
Ka-ka...What's the matter? Why are you by yourself!
I'm so scared. I'm naughty. I've done something wrong.
Dad and Mom don't want me.
Don't be scared.
Even if your dad and mom don't want you, Uncle Man wants you.
I want you. You're good.
Ka-ka, how are you? Don't be scared. It really hurts.
You're fine.
Am I disfigured?
No, you're not.
What if no one wants me if I'm disfigured?
Silly girl. How could no one want you? Uncle Man wants you, OK? Be good.
At the most critical moments in my life,
he always says something to comfort me.
He gives me the greatest sense of security that no one else can.
The two incidents you mentioned just now are really serious.
It's undeniable that Uncle Man is sometimes really macho.
I guess he can give women a sense of security.
Exactly. I've dated other guys before.
No matter how good they were to me,
they still couldn't give me a sense of security.
I felt like they were my girlfriends more than guys who could protect me.
OK. Whats latest development in the story?
What did Uncle Man do to make you want to resign?
I'm pretty sure he has feelings for me.
I've already told him out right that I like him.
But in the end he told me that he can't fall in love with me.
Of course I understand that. His nickname's Chimpanzee.
His brain is still stuck in the Stone Age. It hasn't evolved yet.
You're his friend's niece.
People around think you two look like father and daughter.
If he gets together with you, he'll feel like he's committing incest.
I already told him out right that I like him.
He won't take a step forward. What can I do?
He's a post-60s old bull. His vision's blurred.
You tried to catch his attention
with a piece of cloth the size of a red-packet.
Of course he has no response.
You have to use a piece of cloth the size of a flag to attract him.
Then he'll respond.
I don't get it.
Big discount.
Supermarket?
No. I mean you have to go all out to attract him.
If you still don't understand,
go to a bookstore and buy those books that teach women how to chase guys and study them
Last question.
You don't want to work in CSD because you want to get away from Uncle Man?
Or you think doing correctional work has no more meaning for you?
Look. If you want to get away from him, you just need to move out of Stanley.
You two will never work in the same place unless he changes his sex.
But if you think correctional work means nothing to you anymore,
you can be like me. Try another division.
Look at me. I'm fine now, right?
When your number is called, come out and get your candies and biscuits.
312947, three packets of cigarettes and two packets of candies.
372887, two packets of cigarettes and one packet of candies. 345973...
Mui, you smoke?
I used to. I'm bored now. So I started smoking again.
Get back...
You didn't buy cigarettes this time.
Don't you like to smoke and chat with your friends?
You ask me questions whether I buy cigarettes or not.
How do you want me to answer you, Madam Yiu?
Go back.
Madam Yiu, I didn't buy any cigarettes either.
Why didn't you ask me?
Are you discriminating against me? I'll be so disappointed.
Killer Whale, this is a one-off deal.
What do you want? You want to play me?
What do you want then?
Your number's on the cigarette packet.
If you give her the entire packet, madam will find out it's not hers.
Open it and give her all the cigarettes.
OK...Is this OK?
Wise up next time.
Don't worry. I'll find evidence of Killer Whale breaking the rules.
All the inmates give their cigarettes to her.
She'll smoke so much that she'll end up ruining her lungs.
OK. Assuming there are 30 inmates. Each of them gives her a pack a day.
That's 30 packs in 30 days. A pack a day on average.
But some inmates might give her more than a pack a day.
So she smokes more than a pack a day.
30 inmates. 30 packs of cigarettes.
Our rule stipulates that each inmate can only keep 40 packs. That means...?
Madam Tai, can I search Ward 6 now?
I think I'll find contrabands there. Thank you, madam.
We're searching the ward. Everyone stand properly.
What's this? Show me.
Mui, where are the cigarettes you bought just now?
I smoked them all.
Really?
Yes.
Ka-ka.
Are the cigarettes yours?
Of course. Are they yours? What?
Madam Yiu, you can't tell who owns the cigarettes.
Do you want to frame me by saying that I've taken Mui's cigarettes?
Count them. Count everything in boxes and in bulk.
A total of 213 cigarettes.
Good. 213. Even a newbie knows
the maximum each person can keep is 40 packs.
That's 800 cigarettes. Madam Yiu, I'm not stupid.
Ka-ka.
Count the number of cigarettes.
A total of 807 cigarettes.
More than 800.
You haven't bought cigarettes these past two times.
Even with the ones you bought before don't add up to this quantity.
That means the cigarettes aren't yours? How did you get them?
Are you hiding them for someone?
Or did you join a certain group to collect cigarette fees?
I don't know.
You wont talk because you're afraid of getting into trouble?
Or are you afraid that someone will take revenge when you get out of here?
If you don't talk, I'll take it as you admitting the cigarettes are yours.
That's a breach of the rule. You know the consequences.
No, the term for my second charge will be over soon. I'll be released soon.
If you find trouble with me, I won't be able to see my son.
But if you don't cooperate with us,
we can only assume that you've breached the rule.
Then your remission will be forfeited.
I beg you please, Madam Yiu. I beg you please.
You can punish me to clean the bathrooms. You can deduct my wages.
Please don't forfeit my remission.
Get up first.
I beg you please...
Get up first.
I beg you please...
Calling Control. Please check the CCTV for Ward 7 for me.
Remission will be forfeited.
But it's your remission that will be forfeited.
You want to play me?
The CCTV recorded that all the cigarettes belong to you.
Yes, the cigarettes are mine. I told someone to put them there. So?
Thank you. Our CCTV didn't shoot it clearly.
But you said that very clearly.
Stop collecting cigarette fees.
From today on, we will double our watch on you.
Why are you standing to one side and not talking to other people?
I'm being released in a couple of days. I don't want to get into any trouble.
Just now I almost got into trouble. Thanks for your help.
Madam Yiu.
What's the matter, Silly Chu?
This is for you. It's a piece of candy. I drew the wrapping paper myself.
Thank you. But according to the rule, we can’t accept any gifts.
It's just candy. Thank you for catching Killer Whale.
You don't need to thank me. I just did my job.
I'll eat it myself then... I'll eat it myself.
As soon as Killer Whale is away, the one next to her takes her place.
Killer Whale and Fly are bullies here.
What do you think they'll become when they get out of jail?
They'll be people's target.
They're so dumb. This is jail, not real society.
They can fool themselves here.
But once they're outside, can they still survive like this?
Cigarettes are treated like money here.
But in the outside world,
you can’t buy food, pay rent or pay your son's school fees with cigarettes.
In jail, all the inmates are under our supervision and protection.
Our duty is to help you repent and learn the right values.
But once you're outside,
you're on your own to work hard and face real life.
Silly Chu thinks Killer Whale will like her and be friends with her
because she gives her cigarettes.
Silly Chu doesn't understand. But you do.
Basically everything Killer Whale does is wrong.
If you let her carry on, she'll just get worse.
In the end you'll be the victim.
You'll be released soon. You shouldn't stay away from everyone.
You should learn to tell right from wrong and control your own temper.
Most important of all, you have a son. Kids are innocent. They model on you.
If you resort to violence to solve your problems,
he'll still think you're doing the right thing.
I'm barely educated. I don't know how to express myself.
But I know my remission would have been forfeited for sure if it weren't for you.
Killer Whale is mean. But I know very well that I can't fight her.
So I just let her have her way. Actually I don't know what justice means.
I can't even take care of myself. How can I care about justice?
As long as you're kind-hearted, there's justice.
There must be a bottom line in your heart. You must be able to tell right from wrong.
If you have the right mindset, what you do will be right too.
This is true for your son too.
Madam Yiu, I understand what you're trying to tell me.
I'm barely educated. But I'm not stupid. I understand.
I hope you'll observe the rules here and the law outside.
I really don't want to see you come back.
I promise you I won't. I'm sorry, Madam Yiu. I was wrong before.
I spoke nonsense. I said you didn't know why you do this job.
Actually I understand now. You do this job to save me and my son.
You don't want to work in CSD
because you want to get away from Uncle Man?
Or you does doing correctional work means nothing to you anymore?
I already told him out right that I like him.
He won't take a step forward. What can I do?
He's a post-60s old bull. His vision's blurred.
You tried to catch his attention
with a piece of cloth the size of a red-packet.
Of course he has no response.
You have to use a piece of cloth the size of a flag to attract him.
Then he'll respond.
I don't get it.
Big discount.
Supermarket?
No. I mean you have to go all out to attract him.
If you still don't understand,
go to a bookstore to buy books that teach women how to chase guys and study them
Uncle Man, why do you seek perfection in everything?
You seek perfection for everything in your life
including your clothes, food and car.
Human beings aren't robots. It's the same with romance.
There are no rules or manuals to follow.
Has Yip Sai-heung made trouble in SU (special unit)
these past couple of days?
Basically he's normal.
On several occasions when I passed by his cell,
I heard him mumbling to himself.
Man, is everything OK?
Wat, we have to search the Cat A ward today.
I don't want unnecessary trouble.
Anyway we must take action the first day of the month.
It won't be rescheduled no matter what happens.
Sir.
Everyone sit down.
Wat Sir, we can begin.
Action.
Yes, sir.
Man Sir.
Man Sir, there's nothing.
Everyone stand up. Search them.
Yes, sir.
Stand up. Stand aside.
Stand aside.
Sir.
Man Sir.
Everyone take back your belongings on the table.
Return to your original position when you're done.
Whose tissue is this? This packet of tissue...
Hello, Brother Heung, what else do you want me to do?
What are you looking at? Go to sleep.
Chu Shing-pang, you can leave SU now. Take him back to his cell.
Yes, sir.
Kwai Sir...Can I have a drumstick please?
Wait for me by the cell entrance.
Yes, sir.
What nonsense are you talking about?
My phone got confiscated.
Don't you know the rules? File an application if you want something.
I don't want anything.
I want to take action the first day of the month.
How is it my business if you want to take action?
Kwai Sir, if you don't help me, I'll tell on you.
Are you serious? He's got the goods.
There are 20 sets of cell phones and tablet computers
that are worth more than a million dollars.
If he disappears, I'll be doomed.
I didn't know he was so untrustworthy.
You told me it was really easy to make money by trading parallel imports.
You said there'd be no problems.
That's why I borrowed from financial companies to do this.
I thought if I got the money, I could repay all my debts.
How come it turned out like this?
Dude, you can't push me so hard now.
I'm not pressuring you. I have to get the money back.
Get me out of here. I'll give you $200,000.
You're crazy.
Hey, Kwai Sir, how about $500,000?
$1 million. I'll give you a million dollars.
What's wrong with them?
We've been standing here for an hour. Shouldn't a training officer be punctual?
Disciplined force without discipline.
He's late. But we have to stand here and get punished.
This is so unreasonable.
It's really stupid not to sit down.
We don't know how long the drill will last later, right?
That makes sense.
Hey, just now the second IC said
we must stand at attention and wait for the IC to come.
If one of us doesn't do it properly, we'll all get punished.
That's right. I asked before I came here. It's very strict here.
If we screw up several times, we'll be dismissed.
In other words, standing is part of the training.
You're so cute to say that.
But if I stand for a long time, I may get varicose veins.
I won't be able to wear shorts then.
Who will be kind enough to be the look out?
Then we can all sit down.
Actually it's very important to be cautious.
It's important.
Hey, you're still sitting down?
Hey...
I'm your RAOTC (Recruit Assistant Officer Training Course) 450s Class IC (in-charge).
My name is Kiu Ching-kiu. You may call me Q Sir.
You will receive 26 weeks of training here.
It will include law, sociology, psychology,
criminology, scenario training, first aid and gunmanship.
While here, you must observe the rules
There are three things that a recruit must not do.
No fighting. No cheating. No smoking.
Anyone in breach of the rules will face disciplinary action.
If serious, he will be dismissed.
There are many rules in STI (Staff Training Institute)
that you must observe.
Every morning at 8am Class IC will inspect the dormitory.
You may eat and take a bath only after class is over in the evening.
Female recruits are not allowed to go to the male dormitory and vice versa.
The dormitory must be kept clean.
During inspection, there must be no toilet paper or other items in the toilet
There must not be a single drop of water in the sink either.
That's like male and female prisons.
Even eating and taking a shower is regulated. We're like prisoners.
Exactly. We want you to feel what it's like to be in prison.
You must understand the importance of discipline.
If you can't manage yourself, how can you manage prisoners in the future?
As for what discipline means, some of you still don't understand that.
Just now you were told to stand at attention.
How come some of you sat down?
All of you will stand here for another hour to teach that classmate a lesson.
Q Sir, this is unfair.
I alone made the mistake. You should only punish me.
You still don't get it.
Then you will all stand for one more hour until you understand.
Siu-po.
Yes?
We're standing in the sun later.
You don't use sunblock. Aren't you afraid you'll get freckles?
I don't need it.
Everyone called me Freckled Siu-po when I was a little girl. I'm used to it.
Hi, I'm your senior classmate Shan.
I'll tell you about the dormitory rules,
day-to-day life and the timetable here.
So nice?
It's a tradition that the upperclassmen teach the lowerclassmen.
You'll teach your lowerclassmen too in the future.
That's really nice.
There's someone to guide us so we won't make mistakes.
Do you know how to fold the bed sheet?
I do. The quilt cover must be nine inches away from the pillow.
There must be six inches left after the quilt cover is folded.
That's correct. Good.
This isn't right. The bed must not be creased.
If madam finds out, she'll punish you.
What? We can learn how to fold a quilt even though it's difficult.
But how is it possible to keep the bed free from creases?
That's right. Our bodies aren't ﬂat. We're not a piece of paper.
How can we sleep on the bed without causing any crease?
That's the rule. You'll learn the other stuff in due course.
13 minutes! Just two minutes left. Let's go down quickly to fall in.

You do it on your own. Listen. Left foot up.

This is all wrong. How can you work in CSD?
Sorry, sir.
Stop trembling.
If you're stupid, you can learn. You need courage if you want to learn.
If you tremble, that means you're a coward.
How will you have any courage if you're a coward?
Yes, sir.
I can't believe this. He won't let her to tremble.
I heard someone talk. You're right. You're an obstacle to their training.
You can't catch up. You're a liability. You're wasting my time.
We don't need trash here.
Sorry, sir.
Don't think girls have the right to cry.
This training ground only allows the sweat of success.
It won't allow tears of failure.
If you can't hang in there, you can leave.
If you can hang in there, you'll have to keep trying until I'm satisfied.
I can hang in there, sir.
I can't hear you.
I can definitely hang in there, sir.
Man Sheung-yau, stay behind. The rest of you can go eat.
Yes, sir.
Are you OK?
Go. Otherwise we'll all get punished.
Let foot down. Down. Right foot up. Up. Right foot down. Down. Left foot up. Up.

Fall out.
Are you sure you haven't make the wrong choice?
No, I haven't. It's tough. But this is really what I want.
When I was in Form one,
the school had assessed and determined that I was gifted in math.
You let the school make me do more advanced math
during lunch and after school.
Do you know when I was doing my math, my classmates were playing outside.
I wanted so much to join them.
It wasn't because I loved playing. It's because I wanted to make friends.
I thought I liked staying at home studying. But it's actually because I had no friends.
I don't know how many nights
I had bad dreams of numbers crushing me
to the point where I couldn't breathe.
I wake up suddenly in the middle of the night. Do you know that?
Why didn't you tell me back then?
Because I knew you only did it for my own good.
You wanted me to be successful. So I didn't want to disappoint you.
Dad died early. You worked so hard. You had to take care of Mom after work.
So I wanted to be a good girl.
No matter how strict you were, I would suck it up.
Over time, I got used to it
until this time when you wouldn't let me work in CSD.
This is my first time disobeying you. I actually felt so bad about it.
I want to work in CSD because of you. You were so diligent and disciplined.
You're like the sun shining on Mom and me. I'm really so proud of you.
Brother Shing, I really want to be like you.
Do you know that when you're doing something you really like,
but you don't have your closest family supporting you,
it's really so tough.
Brother Shing, please give me your support.
With your support, I know I can be like you.
I'm such an idiot. I thought I was taking care of you all along
Actually you were taking care of my feelings. Yau-yau, I'm sorry.
Don't leave yet.
I want to tell you that you have your blind spots.
Don't ever think your judgment is always right.
You thought that with Yau-yau. You're doing that with Ka-ka too.
Rules of love for Man Sheung-shing and Yiu Oi-ka. If we're together...

But I know you like reading manuals, reference books and rules.
So I made them especially for you.
I made 300 No Fear Bears for you.
So you wrote 300 rules of love for me?
There are only 299 rules.
The last one is here.
If you want to be with me too,
you'll write the 300th rule.
But if you reject me, I'll accept reality.
I admit that I do have blind spots. What I do may not be right all the time.
I refused to acknowledge our feelings all along. I was wrong...
Man Sheung-shing and Yiu Oi-ka's rules of love.
Rule number 300.
If we're together, Will be really good to you.
I will make every day a happy day for you.
Yip Sai-heung, your 21-day term in SU is over.
We're taking you back to the general ward now.
Go.
Hey, stop it.
Stop or I'll use pepper spray.
Call someone to come and take him to hospital.
Yes, sir.
What's the matter? Calm down.
It really hurts.
Don't move.
The pain is going to kill me. I need to go to the hospital.
Calm down.
My head's spinning. Help.
What's that?
Inmate Yip Sai-heung has escaped. We need backup...
What are you doing? You said you wouldn't hurt my colleagues.
You've caused such serious trouble now. How can I cover up for you?
Shut up. Loosen up the handcuffs.
You didn't keep your promise.
How do I know if you'll pay me when you get out?
Will you cover my back when you get out?
I'll shoot you dead. Loosen my handcuffs.
