You two have quietly started a revolution?
I lost faith in him even before we started.
I believe every item here has a story.
You mean you don't mind the fact that I'm no match for you?
Someone forced her to traffic drugs.
Last time our joint was raided.
That darn cripple. Did she tip off the police?
I know one of them too.
When I was in Stanley Prison, he wrote a bad report on me.
Take this and inject it into Man Sheung-shing.
Otherwise you can prepare a body bag for your son.
Hey, what are you doing?
Obviously the motive is revenge.
The motive's not important. What matters is that we find the kid soon.
Our team is working on that. Don't worry. We're very concerned.
We'll do our best to break the case. We hope we can find the kid.
If the kidnappers call you, try to stall. We'll tap your phone.
If they make a request, comply with it as much as possible.
Then we can secretly help you. I hope we can find the kid.
We understand. What else do we need to do?
I believe Miss Ting lost it today because her kid got kidnapped.
That's why she assaulted someone. So we won't charge her.
You two go home and get some rest.
But remember to keep your phone on and keep in touch.
Got it. Thank you very much.
Man Sir, I'm sorry to ask you to come so late at night to give a statement.
It's OK. I just got some scratches. How's Ting Ho-ho?
We understand her situation. She's a victim too.
We will exercise discretion in dealing with her assault on you.
She's my friend. I won't press charges.
Got it. Actually I asked you to come so late at night
because I want to see you if you know a guy called Lau Chong-kwan.
Ting Ho-ho feels better now. I've taken her statement.
She said she remembered seeing a shirt from a boxing gym on the car.
Hang-hang.
Based on her description, we found the boxing gym.
The person in charge of the gym is Lau Chong-kwan aka Crazy Kwan.
I remember Crazy Kwan. He was an inmate in Stanley Prison.
He was released about a year ago.
When he was in jail, he liked being the banker for gambling.
He always said I was picking on him by stopping his gambling activities.
When someone in his family passed away,
he applied for permission to go out to attend the funeral.
But I thought his discipline was poor, so I didn't recommend it.
In the end he said I wrote a bad report against him.
So he has a grudge against you.
You mean Crazy Kwan wants me dead?
We suspect that Crazy Kwan knew that Ting Ho-ho knows you.
So he forced her to kill you.
But we won't jump to any conclusion before there's concrete evidence.
But I don't get it. His hatred against you isn't that deep.
You work in the disciplined forces too. You know pushers often get raided.
And Ting Ho-ho had already convinced Coco to turn herself in.
Crazy Kwan's loss is minimal.
Why did he kidnap the kid and force Ting Ho-ho to give you a lethal shot?
Isn't that really extreme?
At 2pm today at the public pier of Hoi Bun Road in Kwun Tong,
a correctional officer was assaulted by a middle-aged woman.
It's suspected to be related to the kidnapping of a three-year-old kid.
The kid hasn't been found yet.
The police are very concerned about this case.
PTU has been dispatched to where the kid was kidnapped...
Correctional officer?
Who do you think the officer is?
Can't it be a madam?
Let's bet on it.
How?
Missing Person Notice.
Grandma, go to sleep.
I'm not tired.
Let me prepare the ﬂyers for you so you can hand them out early tomorrow morning.
And you say you're not tired? Go to sleep.
We may need your help tomorrow, right?
OK. I'll take a nap then.
Ho-ho hasn't come out for hours. She hasn't gone to the bathroom either.
You have to keep an eye on her.
Is there news about Hang-hang?
No. I just want to get the phone.
It seems the battery's dead.
No, it's fully charged.
Don't go back to Shumshuipo tonight. Stay here until we find Hang-hang.
Let us look after you. You need help, right?
It's decided, OK? Go to sleep now. Don't think so much. Come on.
Get some rest. I'm going outside to finish preparing the ﬂyers, OK?
Why did I play the good guy and help Coco? Why did this happen?
Why didn't I have the guts to give him the lethal shot?
Why did they mess with Hang-hang?
He's afraid of the dark.
I promised him that I would keep him company
every night when he goes to bed.
We'll find him.
I'm sorry Brother Man. Ho-ho didn't want to do it.
Her son means everything to her.
They kidnapped her son and threatened her with his life.
So she lost her senses.
I understand very well how she feels. Don't worry. I'm not mad at her.
I'm lucky that it was her.
If it were someone else, I would have gotten the lethal shot.
So have the police found out who wanted to have you killed?
They suspect that Crazy Kwan did it.
They're still investigating. It's not confirmed yet.
Ho-ho, where are you going?
I'm going to hand out the ﬂyers.
Wait until Kiu-kiu comes home. Then you two can go together.
I can't wait anymore.
No, Kiu-kiu told me to look after you. You better wait for him.
No, I can go by myself.
Ho-ho...please listen to me...
What can we do to help you and Ho-ho?
Apart from distributing ﬂyers everywhere and looking around aimlessly,
I really don't know what else I can do. Please tell me what else I can do.
What are those guys doing? The kid is only three years old.
Why mess with him? Ho-ho was just reunited with her son again.
They just started living a normal family life. She just turned a new leaf.
Listen to me. You have to stay calm right now.
You have to be strong. You need to look after Ho-ho.
I know. I'm fine...
Hello, Grandma. Why didn't you keep an eye on her?
Hey, I need to run. Ho-ho's missing.
Hang-hang, Mom misses you so much.
Hey, why are you grabbing my son? I told you not to go away with strangers.
Hello, Cheung Sir?
We found where the hostage was kept.
We need you guys to come and assist in the investigation.
Miss, please don't interrupt police at work.
I asked them to come.
We rushed here after we got the intel. But the kidnappers had already left.
We found a kid's shirt among the things they left behind.
Does it belong to Ting Ngai-hang?
This is Hang-hangs shirt.
Ho-ho...
Hang-hang...Give me back my son... I want my son back...
I should have killed you...
Hey, how are you? How's your wound? Hey, why did you drink so much?
I work in CSD...I work in CSD.
Shouldn't there be zero mistakes? Shouldn't I be strict?
Why? Why does everyone hate me? Have I been wrong all these years?
I don't understand. I don't know.
Don't drink anymore. Can you be a normal person?
I'm normal. I don't understand. Am I usually abnormal?
Why does everyone hate me? Why do they want me dead?
Hey, they failed to kill me. But I'd rather it was me who died.
Just give me that lethal shot.
Now Hang-hang's dead. I'd rather it was me who died.
Calm down. Maybe you'll figure things out when you wake up.
You're so confused now because you've drunk too much.
I want to be confused. I want that. I don't understand why they have to kill me.
How can they do that to a three-year-old kid?
He's only three years old. Why? How can people be so cold-blooded? Why?
It's because they're crazy. The people who kidnapped Hang-hang are crazy.
Yip Sai-heung's crazy. They really hate you.
Basically it's like when I was crazily in love with you.
You can't explain it with logic.
Some people hurt themselves when they get crazy. Some hurt others.
You just work in CSD. You're not the Messiah Don't think so highly of yourself.
Don't blame yourself for everything that's happened, OK?
Sometimes it has nothing to do with you, OK. Do you understand?
Good morning. It's a new day. Look at the sky. It's so beautiful.
When you're down, wash your face and start all over again.
Drinking makes you feel more melancholic. Better to drink some tea.
Smile. Show your beautiful teeth.
You'll be fine. Grit your teeth and get through this ordeal.
We will forever support you. You're the most amazing. You are the best.
Tam Yuet-king, come over here.
What is it, Madam Tai?
You'll be released soon.
That's great.
We've arranged a special program for you.
Really? You guys are so nice to me?
We want to treat you to a movie.
I don't want to watch it.
It's about how Jesus loves me again? I don't want to watch it.
You'll see. Yin, take her there.
Yes, madam...Go.
Hey, I just want to watch porn. Otherwise I won't watch it.
What is it, Madam Yiu? There's a movie today?
Theresa. Ever since she was sixteen,
Theresa has been locked up in Chi Lan, Lai King and twice in Lo Wu.
That's a total of thirteen years. A third of her life's been spent in prison.
So? You checked up on my background?
Fine. What else do you know? Tell me everything.
Theresa was a short and skinny scaredy-cat when she was a little girl.
But she's lucky because her older brother loved her very much.
He protected her no matter what happened.
Too bad he was beaten to death by a juvenile gang while he was in Form 3.
Ever since then,
Theresa turned from a model form captain into a problematic student.
There was no one to protect her. So she had to protect herself.
But she chose a very wrong way to do that. She resorted to violence.
Her older brother was hurt by violence.
So she used violence to take revenge against society.
Gradually the kind Theresa disappeared.
Are you done talking? That girl died a long time ago.
If there's nothing else, I'm going back to my cell, OK?
We took pictures for our records and I found these by chance.
I've studied your face carefully. I realized that Theresa never left.
Many a time you look so gentle, meticulous and focused.
Every product you make is so delicately crafted.
Whether it's shoes for disciplined forces or patients' uniforms,
they're all really valuable.
You keep contributing to society.
A person's worth and her dignity are not won by bullying others.
They should be gained through our own effort.
I know Theresa has never left. It's just that you've sometimes forgotten her.
But society has never forgotten you.
Why do you want to check Yip Sai-heung's visitor records?
I feel he's involved in this case.
But it was Lau Chong-kwan who wanted to give you the lethal shot.
My gut tells me that they know each other.
Your gut?
Yes. No matter how bad Crazy Kwan is, he still wouldn't want to kill me.
I don't think our enmity goes that deep.
Maybe I have an intuition about prisoners because I've worked in CSD for so many years
I feel Crazy Kwan was instigated this time.
You think Yip Sai-heung instigated him?
I'm not sure. Actually I have no clue.
I just want to try my best
To see if we can find the mastermind behind this from another angle.
I want to save the kid as soon as possible.
I found it.
Yip Sai-heung added Lau Chong-kwan to his visiting list over half a year ago.
But they only met twice.
Then Lau Chong-kwan didn't visit Yip Sai-heung again.
Not in the past six months?
No, sir.
Sir.
I have a piece of good news.
The Chief Executive has given Scholar a term.
It's best that you tell him this piece of good news.
Yes, sir.
Oh, no.
What are you doing? It's hot.
No, I've figured out that there will be a calamity here in three days.
Are you serious?
You don't believe me?
Last time I figured out that there would be bloodshed,
and Puny got beaten up.
But don't worry.
After the beginning of autumn, you will have 20 years of good luck.
What kind of luck? For romance?
Anyway there'll be good luck.
What are you talking about?
Scholar.
Yes, sir.
I want to tell you some good news.
The Chief Executive has already approved your term.
You're no longer a lifer. You have a chance to get out.
Great. It's really true.
A life sentence can become a fixed-term sentence.
Hey, Congrats.
Congrats.
Thank you Man Sir for looking after me all along.
Thank you for teaching me how to behave.
You told me not to despair, that there was hope.
Thank you Man Sir for teaching me how to be a good person.
You don't need to thank me. I was just doing my job.
Do you want to inform anyone? I can do it for you.
I'm an extinct volcano. I don't have family.
Madam Lo has visited me all this time.
Man Sir, will you please tell her that I can finally get out.
I can go eat her cart noodle. I can go to tea with her.
I can eat shrimp dumplings with her.
I don't know how the world outside has changed.
I'm not sure if I'll know how to get back to where I used to live.
I'm not sure if I'll know how to take a bus.
Don't worry. The welfare officers will teach you.
Take your time to learn when you get out. You must have faith in yourself.
Remember these eight words: Fear not the future, remember not the past.
I understand, Sir.
Good job, Scholar.
Man Sir...Man Sir...
What is it?
I'd like to talk to you.
Man Sir...Man Sir...
What is it?
I'd like to talk to you.
Come over and speak.
Man Sir, I saw on the news that
Crazy Kwan's boxing gym is in trouble.
He even kidnapped a kid.
I heard that you're the correctional officer who was injured.
Actually I want to tell you that I've known Crazy Kwan for a long time.
We grew up together.
When I became a drug dealer. So did he. But we worked on our own.
We had nothing to do with each other.
I came here after he was released.
So far he's only visited me twice. We haven't seen each other since.
You don't need to tell me all these things.
Man Sir, I told you because I don't want you
to become overly-sensitive.
I don't want you to be biased against me.
I'm now a Buddhist. Believe me. I'm not the old Yip Sai-heung.
If you want me to believe you, you prove it to everyone over time
that you've really repented because you want to become a good person.
Tell me what you just said after a decade or so.
Ho-ho?
Have a seat please...
Brother Tsung, where's Ho-ho?
I don't know.
I've been so busy all morning. I didn't pay attention.
Where's Grandma?
I guess she went out to volunteer.
I can't believe this. Why didn't she keep an eye on Ho-ho?
What are you doing?
You're so greedy. You stole so many things?
No, sir. This is just a misunderstanding.
The boss saw her steal.
She's a good person. She wouldn't do that. She's had a severe blow. She's confused.
That's why she did it. Please give her a chance, sir.
Her son's missing. He's everything to her. Everyone in town knows.
The kid who was kidnapped is her son. Her son is 'ling Ngai-hang, sir.
Please give her a chance.
Boss, I beg you please. She only did it because she's confused.
No, arrest me please. I want to go back to jail.
Please put me in jail.
What are you talking about?
It's been seven days already. Hang-hang must be dead.
I don't want to live anymore. This is my fault. I got my son killed.
I'm a murderer. Why did I help Coco? I don't deserve to be a mother.
My son is dead. I beg you please. Please arrest me and put me in jail.
Please don't do this.
Please put me in jail. I beg you please.
Get up.
I beg You please.
Please don't hurt yourself like this. Don't do this to yourself anymore, OK?
I can't take this anymore.
I've suffered all along. I really can't take this anymore.
Jail is more peaceful. It's safer inside.
Let me go to jail for you then.
I owe you this. I should have returned your favor long ago.
I've failed to help you. I failed to find Hang-hang. I'm so useless.
I'd rather it was me who's dead.
I would give my life to give you happiness.
I don't want anything else. I just want you, Ho-ho.
Kind people do kind deeds. Happiness results in more happiness.
One is enlightened and becomes holy.
Wicked people do wicked deeds. Suffering adds to suffering.
They end up in hell. Who understands this? Only Buddha does.
Buddha teaches and enlightens. But believers and followers are scarce.
Therefore there are incessant dying and calamities. People remain wicked.
Human beings are like this. There are so many wicked people.
Good news. Scholar can leave today.
Get his personal belongings later and complete the formalities.
Then he's free.
Good.
I told you long ago that
someone who's determined will get his freedom in the end.
Let's keep working hard. I hope there'll be more Scholars in future.
Come on.
One.
Two.
Hey.
Sin comes from the heart. So purge your heart.
When desires are gone, so is sin. There will be no desires and no sin.
That's true repentance...
Attention, staff. We're doing the headcount now.
Don't hand over prisoners. Get ready to submit the 1400 muster chit.
Tang Chung-yan, what are you hiding? Step forward now. Open the gate.
Mo, the inmates in the multi-purpose room are fighting.
Control calling. Inmates fighting in multi-purpose room.
Strike now.
Inform Mak Sir.
Hello.
Action.
Open the gate
You can't even catch an AO (Assistant Officer)?
Hold them hostage. Go.
OK. Over there.
Run...
Chun, platoon formation. You take charge for the time being.
Yes, sir.
Brother Heung.
Shek.
Block the place.
Break all the CCTVs.
Hey, leave this one.
Sir.
What's the situation?
Several inmates in BB Ward are being held hostage by Yip Sai-heung and his gang.
Over. Over. Can the losers in the Control Room hear me?
Yip Sai-heung, this is Chief Superintendent Mak Shung-lai. What do you want?
I want a helicopter.
You know that's impossible. You better surrender now.
Shut up. I repeat. I want a helicopter to take me to Shek Kong.
It must be here in thirty minutes.
Otherwise I will kill a hostage every five minutes. Do you copy?
I'll kill him first.
I'll take charge.
Listen. Drop your weapons or we will use force.
Drop your weapons or we will use tear gas.
Platoon, put on gas masks.
Be gentle, sir.
Walk.
Calm down. If you have any complaints, we can talk about it peacefully.
I don't want to die. Help me. I don't want to die.
Next one is in five minutes.
Yip Sai-heung's holding several hostages. He wants a chopper to take him to Shek Kong.
How many hostages are there?
We don't know the exact number.
But there are at least four including Scholar.
Sir.
Mak Sir, Wat Sir, what's the situation?
Yip Sai-heung stabbed Uncle Ching in the neck. I don't think he can hang in there.
Stay alert. CERT team's commander will take over the negotiation.
Thank you, sir.
Yip Sai-heung, calm down. What do you want? You can tell me.
We can talk about this. Let Uncle Ching come out first, OK?
Hello, Man Sir. You're back?
Yip Sai-heung, you just want to break out of prison.
You don't want to kill people. Listen to me. Release Uncle Ching, OK?
OK. Uncle Ching...He didn't answer.
I'll get you another one. Eenie meenie miney mo...
I figured that there would be a calamity today. It really isn't me...
This can't be.
Don't do it. I promise we'll get you a helicopter.
If you don't get it in five minutes...
Don't kill me.
Don't worry. We'll make arrangement to get you a helicopter.
But you must promise to release Uncle Ching and Tin first.
You think it's that easy?
How about this? One staff member for one inmate.
Otherwise... Tin, you keep Uncle Ching company, OK?
Help me...Help me...
Why don't I come in in exchange for all of them?
I want both wounded and unwounded.
OK, Man Sir. Come in first.
You can't go in.
Let me go. You give the command here.
It won't work. Yip Sai-heung hates me.
If he doesn't see me, he won't release the hostages.
Think about it. They're lifers. They're supposed to die in prison.
Is it worth doing this for them?
Everyone's life is equal. They're lifers.
But that doesn't mean their lives have no value.
And Scholar has spent most of his life waiting for today.
He deserves a chance to get out all the more.
Mak Sir, I don't think Uncle Ching can hang in there for long.
We need to hurry.
That's right.
No matter what their mistakes were before, human lives are the most valuable.
If there's no better solution, we have no choice but to do this.
Thank you, sir. I will try to stall. You guys break in when there's a chance.
Be careful.
If communication is suddenly broken, then you should break in.
OK.
Yip Sai-heung, I'm here.
Come in.
Walk...
Welcome...A very warm welcome...
Yip Sai-heung, you can release them now.
Fine. I'll release your dad, mom and all your family members, OK?
Man Sir, don't you know me at all? Would I keep my promise?
You're so proud in uniform. But you don't have any say now.
This is my turf. You have to obey me.
You lied all along. You said your wife had left.
You pretended to be desperate. You pretended to become a Buddhist.
Actually you just wanted us to believe that you had repented.
Then we wouldn't take precautions against you so you'd get a chance.
You pretended to listen to the lecture on Buddhist scriptures.
Actually you were asking the other inmates to make trouble today.
You wanted to weaken our manpower to increase your chance of success.
You're holding these people as hostages during the chaos
in order to force us to give you a helicopter to escape.
Are you done talking? Yes, I did that. So? I have money. So people will work for me.
I lost last time. You shot me. This time I've learned a lesson.
So when will the helicopter be here?
Dream on. There won't be a helicopter.
Darn it. You're playing tricks? Puny, beat him up. Make him a cripple.
Why did you join them?
They passed slips around in the multi-purpose room the other day.
They were discussing their plan for the prison break.
But you swapped the slip, right?
One's behavior is...
Sorry, master. I need to interrupt you.
My younger sister will be released soon.
But I have to stay here for the rest of my life.
I want to be with her on the outside.
Have you decided yet? It's really simple.
Just pretend you got saved by me. Then the officers...
I'll take you with me when I get out of here.
He said I just needed to put on a show with him
to make everyone believe that he's a good person.
Then he'll take me to Shek Kong and on to Taiwan.
You didn't need to do that at all. You have your own way to get out of here.
I'm a lifer.
Even a lifer has a chance of getting out. Scholar managed to do it.
He's been locked up for more than 30 years. How can I wait that long?
You committed murder.
Darn it.
You won't understand. I...
Beat him up.
Don't forget you have a future.
It's just that it'll come later than for other people. False freedom is useless.
You have to gain your future properly. Do you understand?
Yip Sai-heung, I'm willing to give my life to make sure you stay here.
If you manage to get out, you'll just get more people killed.
If my sacrifice can bring peace to society, it's worth it.
Darn it.
Communication is broken now. There won't be any helicopters.
They'll even break in at all costs. Yip Sai-heung, it's over.
No.
Wait.
Why are you here?
Q told me what happened. We were really worried about you.
How are you?
Scholar was a lifer.
In the beginning, he had lost all hope.
He even tried to kill himself.
But I saved him. I encouraged him to be positive.
He waited so many years to get to today.
He was supposed to be released today.
He could have led a normal life like a normal person.
I really can't believe...
Actually lots of things are beyond your control.
Since you've done your best already, don't blame yourself anymore.
Actually your encouraging notes are really useful.
They helped me hang in there.
Don't worry. I'm fine. Thank you for coming to see me.
You better go home.
Ho-ho, get up. You haven't eaten all day.
Get up and eat something. Take a bath.
Leave me alone. I want to sleep.
You've slept for two days already. Get up, OK?
What's the use of lying here running away from things? Get up.
Why don't I go out with you to distribute ﬂyers.
Get some exercise, OK?
You should be happy I haven't killed myself.
How's this different from committing suicide if you carry on like this?
If they find Hang-hang's body, you will never see me again.
Hello.
Q, Cheung Sir wants to see us.
OK.
People died and got wounded in the prison riot this time.
So we have officially taken over the investigation.
During the investigation,
someone told us something about you guys.
Actually half a year ago,
Yip Sai-heung had already asked Crazy Kwan to kill you.
But they injured someone else by mistake instead.
He's so nice to me. Remember to give him a big gift for me.
Got it.
So we have reason to believe that
Lau Chong-kwan acted on Yip Sai-heung's instructions
and kidnapped Ting Ngai-hang.
Has Yip Sai-heung confessed?
He knows it makes no difference even if he gets a couple more counts.
So he's refused to admit anything.
What about Crazy Kwan. Is there a chance of finding him?
Are you OK?
I'm fine. Man Sir, I don't need a ride. I have something to do.
Bye.
Take your hands off.
Get out. Are you crazy? Follow me.
Are you crazy?
I'm not the only person who's crazy.
The world is crazy. God's crazy too. He can't tell right from wrong.
Yip Sai-heung has done so many bad things.
He's killed so many people. Why is he still alive?
He's broken the law. He will be punished by the law.
Punished? How? Sentence him to life imprisonment again?
He can never repay his social debt.
If he doesn't die, he'll do bad things again.
You said you would sacrifice yourself in exchange for peace in society.
I would do that too. I'm just using a different method.
I'm choosing to kill him.
Once he's dead, they'll be peace in the world.
I wish him dead too. So does everyone else.
But will it really help if he dies?
Will Hang-hang come back? Will Scholar rise from the dead?
At least justice is served for them.
But you'd be taking the law into your own hands if you do that.
It's against the law.
So we wait until he's struck to death by lightning?
Don't try to stop me. I must kill him.
Calm down. Don't get in my way.
Calm down. Don't stop me.
Yip Sai-heung has already gotten so many people killed.
I don't want you to be his next victim.
If you kill him, you'll be breaking the law. You'd have to go to jail.
If he knew you had spend the rest of your life in Stanley Prison like him,
he'd be so happy.
Some people have already lost their conscience and humanity.
But we're different. We can tell right from wrong.
Our nature is kind. We have our principles.
We uphold the law. We don't break it.
We can’t be like the bad guys.
Our duty is to change them, not to be inﬂuenced by them.
Do you understand that?
I do. So what?
If this carries on, lots of people will die.
Ho-ho will die. Do you understand?
I really don't know what to do. Don't you understand?
When your number is called, come out and get your book. 369249.
Hey, why did you bump into me again? What?
What's the matter?
Madam, she pushed me.
Madam, do you need to be so sensitive?
I just want to ask Madam Yiu to recommend me a book.
Go back to your seat.
Sis King, you've changed?
Your breath stinks.
What?
I told you to quit smoking. You're a chain-smoker.
You just won't listen to me.
Madam Yiu, am I right?
Right. But you must stay in the line if you want to borrow a book.
Also, if you want people to quit smoking, you can say it in a more gentle way.
Only then will she listen to you.
Gentle? How?
That depends on whether you want to be, Theresa.
How? Hey, quit smoking, OK? Smoking will kill you.
OK. I'll quit right away.
How about that, Madam Yiu?
Take it slowly. When you're used to it,
you'll be gentle without having to be conscious about it.
Yes, Madam Yiu.
Listen up. From today on, you all have to quit smoking.
And don't call me Sis King again.
Call be by my Christian name Theresa.
Theresa?
Are you kidding?
Theresa.
That's so scary. It's Theresa in English.
Theresa...
Right.
The decor here is nice.
Yung Sir, Madam Chi.
Sum.
Sum, so you work here? Yes.
No wonder you brought me here.
That's not the only reason.
The dried tofu and roast pork rice here is delicious.
You have to try the tea too.
Sum makes it.
You're so capable?
I learned how to do it when I was in Cape Collinson.
They employ rehabilitated offenders here. So I can work here.
I need to finish my work. Let me take your order first.
Two dried tofu and roast pork rice and two teas.
OK...
Hey, uncle's over there.
You see? It's a little transparent. So...
Dad. Hey, Donald.
Hi. Hello.
What a coincidence? Come on. Sit down.
Sit here.
Why would you two come to a cafe like this for lunch?
Your dad wants to inspect the cafe. He's the boss.
Donald, I thought for a long time what you said to me. You're right.
Doing charitable deeds is a matter of one's conscience.
You don't do it for people's praise.
You don't need to tell everyone you're doing it.
I'm going to open more of these cafes this year.
They'll mainly hire rehabilitated offenders.
As for my companies, Will restructure them in due course.
From now on, I hope my way of doing business won't be criticized or reproached again.
Sorry. I didn't know before that you would do this.
If I had known, I would have talked to you earlier.
Then it would be like today.
Today? What about today?
I'm so moved.
This meal's on me then.
No. It's such a rare occasion to run into you two here.
I'm buying.
No.
Listen to me. This week Don's buying. Next week it'll be your turn, OK?
OK.
OK. Well, next week I'm coming home with Kwong. You have to cook her...
I don't need to eat dried tofu and roast pork rice all the time.
So that's what Kwong likes.
Candy, you must learn how to make that then.
No problem.
It's burning? You have a fever. Let me take you to a doctor.
Hello, Cheung Sir?
Oh, we'll come over right away.
Ho-ho, they found Hang-hang.
Cheung Sir.
Ting Ngai-hang is inside.
Hang-hang.
Mom.
Are you OK?
I miss you so much.
We found a bloodstained shirt earlier.
Actually he had hit his nose and gotten a nosebleed.
Thank you very much, Cheung Sir.
One of Lau Chong-kwan underlings took him to the police station.
Wait a second, sir.
Did you save my son?
A CSD madam once told me that gangsters are bad people. So it's true.
You think they have brotherhood?
I was a killer for my so-called big brother.
I was wanted after I did the job.
He was afraid of getting arrested, so he sold me out.
He had wanted to sell the kid.
But he found it too troublesome.
So he decided to throw him into the sea.
I didn’t want to be a wanted person all my life. So I decided to turn myself in.
Before I left, I took the kid with me.
I wanted to do something right.
Thank you so much. You saved my son.
Thank you...
Oh, what's the name of the madam you mentioned just now?
I just remember my girlfriend called her Madam Chi all the time.
Let's go.
Have some tea, handsome Don. Hey, have some tea, Madam Chi.
Thank you.
Madam Chi, thank you so much.
You don't need to thank me. I was just doing my job.
And there was an unexpected bonus.
That guy Kuen finally turned around. I'm really happy too.
You didn't just do your job, you're really conscientious too.
Why are you being so mushy?
There must be something. You better tell us.
When Hang-hang was missing, I decided on two things.
First, if Hang-hang was dead,
I decided I would take care of you for the rest of my life.
Secondly, if Hang-hang could come home in one piece,
I decided I would take care of you and him for the rest of my life.
If you'll let me to do that, then you mustn't cry anymore.
You must smile, OK?
This is great. My grandson has finally found himself a wife.
He's given me a great grandson as well. I don't need to wait so long.
I must find my jewels. I can't be a disgrace at the wedding banquet.
OK.
Please pick a date soon. Don't drag it on.
Man Sir.
Madam Lo.
Scholar left me a letter among his belongings.
That silly boy said he had experienced a sharp turn in life when he was sixteen.
He almost died.
He was afraid there would be another sharp turn in his life.
So he asked me to take care of his funeral in case he died.
You can throw away his shirts, pants, socks and shoes.
I just want to keep his notebook.
There's another letter for you among his belongings.
I won't keep you. Bye.
See Madam Lo out.
Yes, sir.
Man Sir, life is unpredictable.
I wonder when you will get this letter.
I'm not writing my will.
I just want to share with you something I've learned.
Some people say your life and fate are predestined. I don't think so.
Life is given to us by God.
It's the hardware. You can't alter it.
But fate is the software. It's your own choice.
It's your attitude, values and mindset.
It's like driving.God gave me a beat-up car.
But is it predestined that I can't drive it well?
No. I have the software.
I have a good mindset, attitude and skills to drive it.
I think I've been driving this beat-up car quite well so far. Don't you think so?
Man Sir, you're my driving instructor.
People usually think success means
making money, getting a good job and having a nice family.
Or it means winning games.
I may be in prison, but I still have my success.
I'm not teasing myself.
I focus on acquiring knowledge here to make myself rich in my heart.
I'm content comparing that to other accomplishments.
I recently saw the shrink. He asked me a very interesting question.
He said an inmate wants very much to eat drumsticks.
He asked me what I thought about that. I didn't answer his question directly.
I just shared with him the difference between desire and hope.
Desire is a physiological instinct.
It has to do with the distance between the body and the desired object.
People want to get it right away.
So they don't think of the consequences.
They'll become unscrupulous.
People commit crimes because they get carried away by their insatiable desires.
Those desires are so far away
compared with what people can achieve in reality.
Hope relates to the distance between your heart and your target.
A hope usually isn't realized instantly.
So even if a person gem an evil idea,
he'll at least spend some time considering the consequences.
People in jail long for freedom. They're often hostages of their desires.
Man Sir, I'm writing you this letter
because I want to credit you with what I think I've achieved in life so far.
You gave me faith that there would be a future for me.
Thank you and society so much for forgiving me
so that I need not fear the future nor remember the past.
From To Chi-shu.
Who can rail against the world?
Why do I need people's approval?
I dare not say I love you or how I shouldn't. Chances won't wait.
If I've got you, I don't need...
Who wants to stay in Shangri La?
Who wants to part with you? Who doesn't have a future?
Even the iron bars can't bar our love.
Stop.
What?
Pull over...
It's so beautiful.
Even the invisible shackles can be broken.
There's no impediment.
Be it a valley or the deep sea,
I can still hold your hand and get out of there.
So I'm still waiting here quietly for you to love me again.
Dad, you said before that a lift needs regular maintenance.
You must follow the steps strictly. There can’t be one screw less.
That's because a lift carries twelve passengers.
It could be carrying the happiness of twelve families.
Working in correction services is the same. I have to do my job dutifully.
If we can teach a prisoner to observe discipline and the rule of law
so that he corrects himself,
it might also carry with it
the happiness of many families or even peace in society.
Try to think about it this way.
If an inmate commits crimes again after he's released,
there could be more than one or two victims.
It might affect more people than just the ones in this lift.
Too bad in the past, I stuck to this principle too strictly.
I tied myself up with discipline and rules in my life too.
If I hadn't gotten out of the car today to take a walk in the rain like Ka-ka did,
I would never realize there could be a different view of life.
I finally understand that when a persons heart is chained,
it may be sadder than being locked up in prison.
Ka-ka, if you were here,
I would tell you that I've finally figured it out.
Purple.
It brings you good luck for romance.
Even if I had to be a lone wolf for life, I still wouldn't wear it.
Even the most accurate watch in the world has errors.
If the error is less than a minute,
then you can't say I'm late.
Therefore you don't need to be so insistent all the time.
Human aren't like robots. Same with romance.
There are no manuals or rules to follow.
Correctional Services Department Staff Training Institute Passing Out Parade.
Correctional Services Department Staff Training Institute.
It's the passing out ceremony for all of you today.
First I want to congratulate all of you here
because you're one step closer to your dreams.
Some people have rated the difficulty of being recruited
by the five major disciplined forces.
They say joining Customs and Excise Department is the most difficult.
What about Correctional Services Department? Is it easy or difficult?
I want you to tell me the answer. Siu Kai-wong.
It's difficult as everyone we deal with has broken the law before.
Among the disciplined forces,
it's more obvious how the other forces help in society.
Take for example maintaining law and order, putting out fires or saving lives.
But the contribution to society of doing correctional work isn't that obvious.
It's easily overlooked.
Good.
Our contribution includes detaining prisoners
so that they can't do harm to society for a certain period of time.
Actually we also help them correct themselves.
If they commit crimes again after they're released,
the victim could be me, you or those around us.
Good. You're correct.
The greatest meaning of CSD's work is what you said just now.
You'll all be assigned to one of the 29 different institutions in CSD.
I'm counting on you to tell me how great the challenges are in the future.
I'm feeling a bit emotional today,
because a trainee who was initially really unfit and timid in character
has won the Golden Whistle.
Let's ask this trainee who's changed completely
to come up and share her experience with us. Man Sheung-yau.
Thank you, sir...
I was a gifted student in math before.
So I want to express my feelings towards correctional work
with a mathematical equation.
It's a basic concept in math that you do the multiplication and division first
before you do the addition and subtraction.
So a correctional officer must first be just.
We must be just and fair in what we do. But we can't be inﬂexible.
We must have empathy. Only then can we resolve contradictions.
We must possess personal integrity. And we mustn't be weak.
As correctional officers, we will run into difficulties every day.
We will encounter many unexpected situations So we mustn't be weak.
We must be strong and face everything with courage.
This is the CSD spirit.
Correctional work isn't just a job. It's a difficult mission.
You must be prepared to serve society when you take up correctional work.
Putting those who have broken the law in jail will enable society to enjoy peace.
Although not every released prisoner will repent,
our mission is to help as many of them as possible.
OK. Done. Everyone's taken a photo, right?
Hang-hang, did you take a photo with godmother?
I did.
You two are godmother and godson already?
Kwong is Hang-hang's guardian angel.
If you don't mind, you can be his godmother too.
Let's take a group photo when Man Sir gets here.
Then we can change settings.
How come Man Sir's so late?
Brother Shing worked the morning shift today.
He's hurrying here from Stanley.
I see.
I'm so happy for you two.
I realized that going to jail wasn't a bad thing.
In fact, it was a good thing.
My life has changed completely since I went to jail.
Jail is a place where one's life is changed.
Those who made mistakes can learn the right values and outlook on life.
Love is like a prison too. But it's more romantic.
When two people are inside it, they'll inﬂuence each other in due course.
Don has changed his opinion of his dad all because of me.
After Kiu and I got together, he's inﬂuenced me a lot.
He's given me a lot of confidence and positive energy.
What about you?
What about me?
Have you ever had such experience before? Were you ever inﬂuenced by love before?
Of course she has the experience.
What?
Actually she could be very independent.
But she's used to relying on Man Sir when he's around
You must enjoy very much the feeling of being taken care of.
I'm used to depending on him in everything.
Actually I'm distorted by love.
You aren't distorted by love. It's just that after you had fallen in love,
you discovered the facade of you that you didn't realize before.
Then your real character is revealed.
We're back...Hey.
How come Brother Shing hasn't shown up yet?
Right. If we don't change the setting, we won't finish taking photos today.
Here he comes.
It's purple.
Sorry for being a bit late.
Man Sir, you're so handsome today.
Even Tony Leung can't compare.
What? You guys said the dress code is purple and pink.
Is it really ugly?
Of course not. You look so cool today. You're cooler than all of them.
The gentleman in the grey jacket. Please stand on the left hand side, OK?
Cheese.
OK. We're going to the beach to take more photos now.
But we only have two cars. It's a bit tight.
Man Sir, why don't you give Ka-ka a lift?
Sure.
OK. Let's go.
I thought you would drive.
My car needs to be serviced. Actually I want to buy a new car.
Really? Yes.
What kind of car?
A vintage sport car.
Here we are.
What a coincidence! You just bought it?
Yes. I wanted to buy a new car. My friend wanted to sell his.
So I bought his car.
It never occurred to me before that you would drive this type of car.
Actually I don't know much about sports cars.
But I liked this car the moment I saw it. I thought it was cute. So I bought it.
It matches your outfits today.
OK. Let's listen to some music.
When did you start listening to such upbeat music?
Didn't you just listen to classical and slow music?
Yau-yau burned me this disc. I really like it. I like the rhythm.
It seems you've really changed.
I'm more ﬂexible now.
But Man Sheung-shing is still Man Sheung-shing.
I'm still a piece of wood.
But this piece of wood doesn't just stand there anymore.
At least it knows how to roll.
Sorry...
Hello. Yes. What? Are you serious?
OK. Thank you.
Something wrong?
Ally killed someone while drink-driving.
I was right to marry you back then. You care the most.
After this happened, everyone said they were busy.
You're the only one who's come to visit me.
Actually Ka-ka and Don asked me to say hello to you.
You guys work in CSD.
Do you all know how to care about other people?
Are you happier doing that?
We don't do it to make us happy. We just want to do it.
We all really care about you.
You guys are really so different from my friends.
They just care about their own interest and benefits. But I don't think that's a problem
Back when I was in the States,
I found westerners so different from Chinese people.
I buy their ideas more. I find them more direct and candid.
They don't pretend.
It's OK to be money-oriented. That's the way to success.
Chinese are more wishy-washy.
They may not like you, but they'll still be courteous to you.
They're really fake.
I think Chinese are more about feelings.
They remain courteous even though they dislike someone.
Maybe that's the way to resolve contradictions.
That's true. Your friends don't like me. But they're still courteous to me.
They even care about me now.
How's your case?
If you plead guilty, the judge may find you remorseful.
He may pass a lenient sentence on you.
My brain was really a blank back then.
I don't remember anything. How can I plead guilty?
But no lawyer is willing to take your case. This shows that it's an uphill battle.
I don't mind losing.
This isn't my first time hitting someone with a car while driving under the influence
But no lawyer is willing to take your case. This shows that it's an uphill battle.
I don't mind losing.
This isn't my first time hitting someone with a car while driving under the influence
I went to jail before in the States. I fought it in court.
Back then I realized that law is just a game played with money.
Too bad I didn't have money to play the game back then.
What happened?
Back then someone made me drink so I got drunk. Then I drove.
The guy who got killed was drunk too. He dashed onto the road.
I hit him by mistake.
I'll go to jail for five to six years at the most for drunk-driving.
Then I can stand up again when I'm released.
If you apply such sophistry in your daily life,
no one may argue with you.
But if you're going to use it as a defense, it really won't help you get an acquittal.
You've broken the law. You have to bear the consequences.
You must go to jail.
Does a person have to go to jail just because she's broken the law? Not really.
There must be evidence. I might get an acquittal.
Because the law is never the equivalent of justice.
Time's up.
Is there anything I can do to help you?
Or do you need me to bring you anything?
When you come next time, please bring me some hand cream.
It's very cold and dry here.
OK.
Man, thank you.
Hey, why are you crying? Where's your mom?
I found it. Silly girl. Why did you leave it in the shop?
Excuse me. Where did you buy this bear?
See if these are the bears you're looking for?
Where did you get these bears?
A man donated them to us earlier.
They're all here.
You don't want them anymore?
My friend doesn't need them anymore.
I hope they can help others who lack a sense of security and need consolation.
What a coincidence?
What do you mean coincidence? I always come here. You don't.
Do you like exercise that is this exciting?
You're just smiling.
What does that mean?
Are you doing it because of Don?
When two people are together, they'll inﬂuence each other,
because you'll appreciate his choices and approve of his decisions.
Gradually you'll do the same things.
But that doesn't mean there's no more self.
The inﬂuence is mutual. Gradually two people will be more like each other.
You've got so many theories about love now that you're seeing someone.
Of course. I'm going to wash my face.
Hey, I asked you to come at 1pm. Why did you come so early?
You'll need to wait for a long time. You'll be bored to death.
I won't be bored. This is so cool. I want to learn too.
Your mom asked you to give her the design drawings.
Why pressure me?
I don't have any inspiration. I can't think of anything.
If you can produce your design drawings,
then you'll have a chance to design for your own fashion label.
Then please don't buy anything black. Buy other colors.
Do you know that black is forever a classic?
Purple? Even if I have to spend the rest of my life alone,
I still won't wear that.
Can you listen to music that's less noisy?
When did you start listening to such upbeat music?
I really like it. I like the rhythm.
Kwong, I've figured it all out.
What have you figured out?
I know both Man and I have changed
because we truly love each other and appreciate each other.
That's why we've influenced each other. I've loved the same person all along.
I like him exhausting all means to cheer me up.
So you still love Man Sir?
Thanks for enlightening me.
Man, I got hurt boxing. Can you come to see me?
Ka-ka, you said it was important. What is it?
Do you remember these things?
How would I forget them?
I bought you this game when you failed six subjects in primary six.
I did so to cheer you up.
I bought you this racket
when you lost to your opponent in the school athletic meet
when you were in Form three.
You were so unhappy.
Sol bought it to cheer you up and tell you that you could still play badminton.
Hey, this watch.
You were a freshman in university.
You had broken up with your boyfriend and came back to Hong Kong.
You were unhappy. So I bought it for you.
And these two dolls.
When you were six years old, you had a fever.
I played them with you.
There's this music box too.
It's your first time you boxed. I beat you so hard your face got swollen.
So I bought it to make you feel better.
I've been so lucky all my life. When people fail exams, they get yelled at.
If they come in last in a race, people laugh at them.
But every time I failed or felt unhappy or frustrated,
you would cheer me up and encourage me.
You even bought me gifts and told me I am still capable.
What's going on?
Did you buy me a gift this time? Why?
You don't need my gifts to comfort you anymore.
You're no longer the little girl
who needs me to carry you or teach you how to read and write.
I'm no longer the Ka-ka who needs to depend on you in everything.
But today you're completely different too.
You'll wear a purple shirt. You listen to rock music.
You drive a sports car. You're no longer so insistent.
You don't care what people think of you. You don't seek perfection in everything.
You donated all the No Fear Bears.
How did you know I did that?
I ran into a little girl on the street. She was carrying a No Fear Bear.
Because you don't need them anymore.
We're both different now,
can we pretend we just met each other and start all over again?
Someone said love is a romantic prison locking up two people inside.
The other person will discover what she's not even aware of herself.
She'll find her real self. Will you join me in this prison?
It's actually a blessing for the person you love
to put her freezing hands on your face.
I didn’t know how to have fun before. I was so uptight.
I didn’t know it could make me happy to be fooled by someone I love.
I hope you'll fool me like this every day.
Don't you find it cold?
It's cold. But as long as it can give you warmth and happiness,
I'm willing to have you fool me like this forever.
Right left...
Who doesn't have a past? Yet she can still cheer freely.
Who doesn't have anything that needs to be covered up?
It's lucky if it can still be changed.
It is never too late.
Leave a story for tomorrow. Use your hand to overcome the obstacles.
Be brilliant. Reclaim the bright future. Say goodbye to yesterday. Have dreams.
