Many would like to forget their past and start fresh.
But have you ever considered, if you lose your past
are you still yourself?
We're often caught in this dilemma
longing to forget the past
yet terrified of losing our memories of it.
That man in red drew it!
[Prostitute killed in robbery, leaves daughter behind. Killer at large]
Mom, whatever it takes... I'll get the killer.
I just wanted you to show up there. Now look! You're tan like a roasted pig.
Let me tell you.
No more charity functions without my permission.
Honey, don't get mad. I have good news for you.
Dr. Williams called.
Someone is willing to pay twenty percent more
for the volcanic mud's Greater China deal
with much better terms.
So he didn't want to sell to us.
Martin has confirmed it. And the new buyer is KY.
Really? KY really is so naive!
Hubby, you are smart!
You helped me with the idea.
But I know that KY doesn't have much cash readily available.
He's in for a total loss this time.
He asked for it. He's had the nerve to be talking down on you lately.
Whoever talks down on my hubby better be ready to pay for it.
I can't wait to see him come to you, hat in hand.
How should we celebrate?
You decide.
Why are you awake? Do you feel sick?
I guess I'm just too happy to sleep.
You went out?
No... I wanted to go for a joyride because I couldn't sleep.
But now I'm getting sleepy again.
Let me warm you up some milk.
No, thanks. Go back to bed.
I'll keep you company.
Come on, go back to bed.
You sure know how to exercise self-control.
You only got things for Martin, you didn't get anything for yourself.
I stay home all the time. I almost never go out.
I don't have any occasions to wear fancy clothes.
What do you do after Martin goes to work?
I read books, I go to the gym. Sometimes, I get facials.
I miss my school days.
At least they weren't as boring.
That's the life of a stay-at-home wife. You'll get used to it.
Maybe I'll introduce you to some stay-at-home wives.
You can go to high tea, or play mahjong with them.
Time will fly right by.
All I do is either eat or sleep, Mrs. Fong. I feel so useless.
Don't sell yourself short.
You worked hard when you were in school. Just consider this to be a break.
Just enjoy the life of a newlywed.
You're right.
I'm sorry, Mrs. Fong.
You've been listening to me whining.
Let me talk to Martin.
He's like a younger brother to me. He'll listen to what I have to say.
Really? Thank you, Mrs. Fong!
I'm sorry, we got tied up in that meeting.
- Hubby. - Mrs. Fong.
Hubby, Mrs. Fong and I went shopping. I bought you some clothes.
Wow. Thank you, Honey.
Good!
Behind every successful man, exists a caring woman.
Martin, you're going to make it big.
Power!
I heard that you haven't been in a good mood lately.
Should this old friend cheer you up?
This is a family dinner. Do you mind leaving?
A wake dinner?
Indeed, a big deal aborted.
Is this too much for your heart?
Let this partner give you a word of advice.
When you make big deals, you have to go for broke!
Like me, you have to be swift, you have to be sharp, you have to be ruthless!
This is the way to success.
Mr. Cheung.
Sit down! I'm not done yet.
Wait for your boss to speak first.
You're just a worker.
All right! Keep going. I'm all ears.
This is a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity for you.
That volcanic mud talk you had with Dr. Williams...
I stole it from you. You see?
Can your heart take this?
I'm going to make it big!
It'll be sold everywhere in Greater China.
Make sure you come to my launch party. Okay?
I have seen my fair share of fools, but none have ever been this stupid.
Martin, get ready for the next step.
Yes, Mr. Fong.
Honey, I'm a happy man today. Let's celebrate.
Of course, he walked into the trap, all on his own.
Fei, what would you like to have?
Whatever, I'm not picky.
Honey, Fei and I went shopping.
She's an easygoing girl, especially to her hubby.
He doesn't like the idea of her going out to work.
He wants her to stay home as a housewife.
Martin, be nice to your wife.
Of course, I'm not nice to anyone but her.
But Fei has her Master's. Her not working is a huge waste.
A world for two will become boring with time.
The woman will start nagging.
So don't keep her at home for too long
or I'm worried you might feel sorry.
Hubby, right?
Okay. We'll think about it.
You really don't like the idea of me going out to work that badly?
We've agreed on it.
I don't know why you have to reopen the topic.
And also, next time you have something to say, say it to me, directly.
Please don't go to a third party to pressure me from the side.
That's not what I was trying to do!
All I did was mention it to a friend.
You think I don't know how fortunate I am?
You think that being a stay-at-home wife is fortunate.
But it's not what I think.
I want to do something for society too
instead of going shopping and waiting for you to come home for dinner.
If things keep going this way, I might as well just be handicapped.
I just want you to be more considerate.
Okay, then. Do whatever you like. You don't have to ask me.
Go, go! Go, go!
Geez...
Damn it.
Master Kau, lost again, huh?
I was this close. I'll get the next one right.
If this keeps up, Shiu Gat is going to die from exhaustion.
It's that serious?
She works more than ten hours a day.
When she's home, instead of going to bed
she goes out to ride her bike all night.
Wow, you think she doesn't want to be in the same room as you?
Hey, she's your late brother's girlfriend.
Shouldn't you care about her?
I do. This is the life she chose. What can I do about it?
But if she keeps going like this, she'll fall into depression.
We should find a way to cheer her up.
Sweetie, is it that busy at the center?
You have to bring work home and work overtime from here?
No, the center is hiring an officer.
I want to apply for it.
My girl is caring and beautiful. She'll get the job!
He's right. You've been working there for so long. It's time to get promoted.
Not really though. It requires at least five years of experience
with a bachelor's degree or higher. I might not be--
Don't worry, you have a degree, whether you got it part-time or not.
It's a recognized degree.
You're the veteran at the center there, you'll get it.
Father, you are right! I have Mom and Dad's support.
I'll hand it in tomorrow!
Good! I'll treat all of your colleagues on the day of your promotion!
You can't take that back! Thank you, Dad!
- Okay. - Your dad loves you so much.
Let me go tell them.
Hey. Why are all of you frowning?
Ka Ka said that tomorrow is Shiu Gat's birthday, but she's still unhappy.
She's numbing herself with her work.
She won't go to bed at night. We're worried about her.
So we're thinking of throwing her a birthday party, to cheer her up.
Dinner and karaoke, the usual. No?
What's up with that look?
I remember! She said that she had a birthday party when she was little.
There was a clown doing magic tricks and juggling.
You like to do tricks at Night Shadow.
It's time for you to make up for it.
What did I do? Make up for what?
You piss her off constantly.
You knew her when she was little? Why do you know so much about her?
Has she not told you about her childhood?
Her mom died when she was very little.
She was sent to an orphanage, which is where we met.
You be the clown that cheers her up!
You have money, you buy her gifts.
You can cook, prepare the food.
What about you?
I'll decorate the house. It's settled.
- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday!
My wish for you is that you get prettier, day by day!
I wish you a happy birthday, good health, and for you to crack every case.
Such cliches.
I wish you all reaping with no sowing, and smooth sailing, all the way.
Who told you--
I know, you must be so touched that you want to cry.
We wanted to really surprise you.
Yeah.
Hey, who told you...
Birthday girl, I am the clown.
Do you have any birthday wishes? I'll make them come true.
They will all come true.
What are you doing?
Indeed, what am I doing?`
Why do I have to be the clown for her birthday? Why not you?
Who told you that today is my birthday?
My birthday?
It's not for six months.
How did you get that wrong?
- Sze Ka, you're dead! - You little...
Calm down...
What? We wanted Yuet to cheer you up!
So it's not a birthday party... See it as a gathering, then. We're so happy...
All right, all right, a gathering. Since we're here...
- Come on, let's eat. - Dig in, dig in, dig in.
The cake, the cake.
Let's play mahjong after.
Good! I can't wait.
There's one, two, three, four, five of us here.
I don't know mahjong.
It's all right. Shiu Gat and I are a team!
What? I don't have a mahjong set at home.
What about a deck of cards? Big Two or Blackjack.
No.
I only have these.
Chinese checkers, Chinese chess, airplane chess. Nothing else.
These are for kids.
You're such a boring person. You still play these?
You need to use your brain for these. They're not suitable for you.
I dare you to play me. In my life, I've never lost at Chinese checkers.
You dare to be so cocky in front of this Chinese checkers queen?
Okay. I dare you to play for ten dollars a piece!
- Twenty dollars. - Deal!
You guys enjoy...
Let me clear the table for you.
A hundred dollars a piece.
You can't wait to give me your money.
What? You don't have the nerve for this?
Mental. Your friend is too loud I'll lose my hearing.
I'd prefer this. This takes a brain to play.
This? You have a brain?
I'm so brainy, I can share.
All right, let's play a round.
We can see who's brainier.
Let's do it.
You're done?
Yes.
What is it?
I'm reading your mind.
Do you see defeat?
I got it.
Like this?
I knew it. You don't have a brain. All wrong.
You're lying. Not even one?
Not even one out of four?
It smells good.
I don't wear it on this finger. I wear it on this one.
Well? Done?
Hold on.
Done.
Right color for three of them. But wrong order. Again!
Three...
You're so cool. You left with such ease.
You left two broken hearts behind.
Your girl is hard to please.
I'll settle the score with you later.
Mastermind again?
Two boring people. No wonder you were so good for each other.
Hey.
- You tie up the ends. - Okay, okay, okay.
Bye, bye. Thank you.
Hey, you tie up the ends.
He's so bossy...
Hey, how about a round?
I'm not free. The VIP room is booked for Mr. Fong.
Okay.
- Hi. - Hey, Mr. Fong.
You're so free?
My work is all done.
I used to play this. It's called...
Mastermind.
Oh, right, right, right. Hey, how about a round?
Sure, I'll be codemaker. You be codebreaker.
- Okay. - Okay.
Mr. Fong, you've played this before.
What's your best record?
The first row.
Wow, you're that good at this game?
Just kidding.
Just a moment, I'm setting the pattern.
Okay, you can go.
Done?
Yellow...
Red...
Why green?
Okay, yellow again.
Orange...
Whatever.
Done.
All wrong?
All correct.
Mr. Fong... were you peeking?
You're mental. I just used my brain!
But I had this strange feeling, like someone was guiding my hand.
That creepy?
Hello?
I see, I see.
Okay, okay. I'll read it, I'll read it.
[Hong Kong Daily: Volcanic Mud Mining Deemed Illegal, investor Suffers Big Hit]
Mr. Fong, why are you so happy? Did you just land a big deal?
This is better than landing a big deal!
That fool got hit with another huge loss!
Fong Chi Lik!
Hey! Over here!
You set me up!
Sir, sir. Take it easy.
Hey... Hey, KY, it's business.
You either make money or you lose money.
I'm sure that you can afford the loss.
Take it easy, take it easy.
You'll see! I won't let this go!
We're brothers. Whatever it is, let's talk in my office, okay?
The volcanic mud thing was a set-up!
Hey, hey, hey. Be careful what you say.
You stole it from me
or I would have been the big loser.
That's why making business deals can be risky.
There are crooks everywhere.
Next time, be more careful.
You told me about being swift, sharp and ruthless.
You are swift and ruthless, but not that sharp.
But let's not talk about the bad.
I asked you to come here for something important.
What is there for us to talk about?
Sleepless City has been put on hold because of your meddling.
Now the cost of construction has gone up.
Every shareholder has to chip in more.
Everyone else has paid up.
Martin, how much should KY shell out for his share?
I get it! I get it now!
You leaked it to set me up! So I would use all of my loose cash.
Now you know I have no cash ready.
You wanted to drive me out!
I'll buy out your shares at a good price.
Okay. For how much?
Are you nuts? This is my turf.
Who are you to call the shots?
Martin will follow up with you.
Go home and wait for the money.
Hey, KY, KY. Let me remind you.
Don't be swift and ruthless in the future in doing business. Just be sharp.
Who are you... to fight me?
[Shanghai Ko Ko Barbershop]
Honey, I wanted to put
KY's shares in your name.
With yours and mine coming together
we'll be the biggest shareholders.
No one will dare say "no" to us, not in any meeting.
You weren't there yesterday.
His face was cold and dark.
He asked for it.
You remember his look, that day at the restaurant?
He thought he was the smartest. Actually, he was just the biggest fool.
You're the smart one.
The set-up is the last nail in his coffin.
- Mr. Fong, shall I shave you now? - Okay.
I've made you deal with my outbursts. I really owe you.
If you want to repay me, help those in need once you've recovered.
Thank you, Doctor.
You're welcome.
You're making good progress.
Keep taking the anti-rejection drug. It should keep sitting well with you.
Just don't overwork yourself.
Don't worry. Now that I have a good heart I'll take better care of myself.
Good. Time for me to do my rounds. I'll see you next week.
Thank you.
[To Rooftop]
Wait for me in the car.
Yes, Mr. Fong.
Watch out!
What a coincidence.
This is a public place. Anyone can come up here.
I know that Dr. Yiu was your friend.
It's unfortunate. I'm very sorry for your loss.
You're a cop though. You should be tough.
Is it really that busy at the police department?
You can't solve a case if there are no lawbreakers.
Heaven isn't fair. Only the good die young.
Brother KY, enough drinks. Let me call your driver to take you home.
No, don't bother with that! Fill my glass!
- Fill it up... - You've had enough...
What a pest! Get out, you pest!
Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!
Wait for me in my room.
Brother KY!
Good men are not rewarded.
I want him dead! Dead...
- Dead... - Brother KY, Brother KY.
Hey, man! Why'd you get so drunk?
Brother KY, Fat Cow here.
Fat Dog...
Leave my beard alone.
Why don't you go over to my room for some fun?
My brothers are there.
Come on, more people, happy...
Happy? Happy with Fat Dog? Happy...
Yes, yes, yes...
I am not happy. I am very unhappy...
Why are you so unhappy?
Who made you unhappy?
Let me know, maybe I can help!
Fong Chi Lik...
Mr. Fong?
If you can help me, I promise you an easy life.
Brother KY... sober up! What can I do for you?
Kidnap his wife. I want him to cough up the money...
Isn't she that socialite, Mrs. Fong? What is she doing here?
- I don't know. - A socialite... here to make donations.
She can't be here for a job interview.
Oh, yes, what about your application?
I don't know.
Has Mrs. Chan said anything?
She hasn't.
She praises you for your good work all the time.
Don't worry, you'll get the promotion.
Thank you. Once I get it, I'm going to get you two a big treat.
- Oh, good. - Good, don't you forget.
Why are you here?
- To see you. - To see me?
Where's your desk?
- There. - Come here.
- What is it? - Come on.
What? What do you need from me?
You don't want to be a volunteer here, I know that for sure.
I know. You want me to help you apply for unemployment collection.
Sure, not a problem.
You're a social worker, but you're so mean. I'm filing a complaint.
Just kidding. You can take a joke, right?
Well, what can I do for you?
So you know how my Great Aunt's nursing home is top notch, five stars?
It's very expensive.
My brother could afford it
but my income is limited. It's beyond my ability.
Is there an aid package I can apply for? Help me out.
I don't think I can help you.
Unless it's for support of direct kin, like parents or grandparents
there aren't any government grants or stipends you can apply for.
If you want to cut down on expenses, why don't you bring her home?
Hiring part-time help at home is cheaper than a nursing home.
You've said so much. Yet, which part of this is useful to me?
I've answered your questions.
Please, check it out online. See what might be helpful to me.
- All right. - Thank you.
Don't rush me.
That Mrs. Chan seemed to like you.
But I don't want to get in through the back door.
This is not the back door.
If you weren't right for them, they wouldn't hire you.
The board still needs to approve this.
Even if I do get hired, Chun Ping might not like the idea.
Let me break it to him.
I think it will be better if I tell him, myself.
Oh, Mrs. Fong! What a coincidence. Getting your car?
- Bye. - Bye, bye.
- Let go of me! - Hey, stop!
Are you all right? Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Where's Fei?
Thank you, Mr. Yiu.
You're welcome.
Well? Done?
Mr. Ting... Madam, done.
Does her family have any enemies?
Could I ask them to help with the investigation?
No, she's their pride and joy. They can't know about this.
But they'll find out sooner or later.
The kidnappers might call them.
The kidnappers haven't called yet. She could easily be dead.
You have to tell her parents.
Why would they kill her?
Master Kau, it's just an assumption. Cut that out.
I'm done, then.
We may ask you to help with the investigation.
Honey, do you feel better now?
I do.
Mr. Fong, Mrs. Fong. Can we take your statements now?
Yes.
Mr. Fong, according to our files
you have quite a few enemies.
Can you recall receiving any threats recently, say, for payback?
No.
Have you done any bad deeds lately?
Madam, what do you mean?
Madam, I am a good citizen, one hundred percent.
I am a proper businessman. I don't do anything illegal.
I don't see eye-to-eye with people when conducting business deals every time.
But I don't go around offending people.
I think you have a misunderstanding over the kind of person I am.
You cross lines very often and then call your actions "proper"?
Then your moral standard is set very low.
Mr. Fong. Have you gotten into a fight with anyone recently?
I did get into a fight with a businessman over a potential transaction.
I wonder if that might help you.
His name is KY Cheung, he's our former shareholder.
Martin's wife has been kidnapped. What does that have to do with me?
He has that much money?
His palms get greased nicely, I know that.
Their target was Fong Chi Lik's wife.
They got Ngan Yat Fei by mistake.
How stupid!
Mr. Cheung, we know that you've had tensions with Fong Chi Lik recently.
Shortly after those tensions, you sold your company shares.
Did you do it out of spite?
And Ngan Yat Fei ended up getting kidnapped instead.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, I had a falling out with him.
But it is far below me to do such a thing.
I am an honest businessman.
Breaking the law is not for me.
But he set you up, big time.
You started out together, but now you've been squeezed out.
You can just swallow that?
No, I can't, I hate it!
But I'm loaded, I can afford it.
I see my loss as his funeral money.
He'll meet his downfall.
You wanted to teach him a lesson and ended up getting the wrong one?
Mr. Cheung, I'm sure that you're still livid.
Madam, I told you, "no" again and again.
I can swear to Kwan Ti, the power of loyalty.
He's made many enemies.
One of them has gone too far.
You should go after other leads.
Leave me the honest businessmen alone.
Thank you for your help, Mr. Cheung.
We'll contact you if we need to speak to you again.
[Fat Cow]
Thank you, seriously.
Don't mention it, Mr. Fong.
It's my fault that I couldn't get Mrs. Ting as well.
I wonder how she is.
I don't think that the kidnappers will harm her.
Anyway, my wife owes her safety to you.
It was my pleasure.
I don't call myself talented
but I can think on my feet, and I'm quick on my feet.
I'm motivated, so...
So you should go home and get some rest.
But Mr. Fong, I mean I want to be your...
I understand.
When you're back in the office, you'll receive a month's pay as compensation.
You can go now.
Thank you, Mr. Fong. Excuse me.
Acquisitor Woon, do this for me.
It's been several hours
and the kidnappers have not contacted Fong Chi Lik or Ting Chun Ping.
It doesn't seem right.
It's likely that they got the wrong target and don't know what to do.
If they got the wrong target, that means there's no ransom involved.
They might put the blame on the hostage.
That means that Ngan Yat Fei is in grave danger.
She may have been killed.
The longer this drags on, the messier it's going to get.
Fong Chi Lik and Cheung Kwok Yiu are old foes.
Cheung is the greatest suspect.
After giving us a statement, he received what we assume was an SMS.
The look on his face was odd. I found it strange.
So you let him go and put Keung on his tail.
You're using him as a bait.
You two watch him around the clock.
The kidnappers could contact him at any time.
- Yes, Madam. - Yes, Madam.
Master Kau, go check the people that he's been in contact with recently.
See if anything is suspicious.
Yes, Madam.
[IN NO TIME Logistics]
Anything from your end?
Madam, just two men and no hostage.
The long-distance spotlight telescope on this thing is amazing.
It has a 1,000 watt power, and it can reach past 3,000 feet.
Press it and the light blinds the suspect temporarily, even in broad daylight.
Then we'll get him easily.
Wow...
No actions without my order.
Yes, Madam.
Why did you take that woman? Are you insane?
Brother KY, you asked me to do it.
You wanted Fong Chi Lik's wife kidnapped.
I did what you asked of me.
Don't frame me! When did I say that?
Brother KY, we might have gotten the wrong person
but you can't just wash your hands of it.
It was at the club! You said that you were unhappy.
You said that Fong Chi Lik set you up.
You wanted me to kidnap his wife so that he would cough up your money.
You were so drunk then that you forgot about this?
Even if I did say that, those were drunken words!
Do you have a brain or not?
Kidnapping Fong Chi Lik's wife? Do you have a death wish?
I don't care if you were drunk. I don't care if you weren't drunk.
We made a kidnapping, I need to get paid.
Either you pay me or I'll go to Fong Chi Lik.
Try to take my life, if you dare.
If you go away, I'll tell Fong Chi Lik that it was your idea.
Are you threatening me?
I'll go down with you.
We're made.
Go!
Go, go, go.
Stop! Get him!
- Police, halt! - Police!
Madam, get in!
Hurry, hurry, tear it off.
Well, any news from the center?
No, Madam.
How could they disappear just like that?
- Hey, man. - What?
We should just find a place to dump her.
Dump her? Then we did all of that for nothing?
Call her family, let's get some money out of this.
Hey, hey, hey. Hold it!
What?
The police are after us!
Dump her and run.
All right, all right, all right!
- Over there. - Okay.
No, no, no. There's a janitor here.
- Let's go, come on. - Go.
Go!
No!
Hey!
Hey, here, here.
There's no one around in front, just dump her there.
Good, let's do it, come on...
Quick, quick, quick, let's do it.
Stop!
What?
Police.
What do we do now?
- I hit a car. - I know.
Mr. Fong, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Let me check it out.
Hey, you know you hit my car--
Is that Fei?
Mr. Fong, are you all right?
Get in, follow the van.
Yes.
- Hello? - Madam, it's Fong Chi Lik.
I found Fei.
Where are you now?
Get out! Get out!
Put your weapon down!
Don't come near! Or I'll cut her throat and stab her eyes!
Calm down! Don't hurt her.
Little Yiu, don't get too close, it's dangerous!
Guys, we can talk it over.
Just don't harm the girl.
All right! Give me your car!
Yes, yes, yes, sure!
Give him the car, Mr. Fong, give him the car.
No! If they get the car, they'll kill her!
If you don't give it to them, they'll kill her right here!
Give them the car, and she'll never be seen again!
- But-- - Are you guys done?
Madam, you tell us.
How many can you kill with one shot?
We should find the best way out!
Madam, you think about it!
You're right. If it's only money you want, name your price.
- How much? - How much?
What, how much?
Mr. Fong is loaded.
Mr. Fong, give them ten million to start.
But I don't have ten million with me.
What?
But I do have around twenty thousand here. How about that?
Just twenty thousand?
I know it's not much.
Take my watch too, take my watch.
- Take it to start! - Twenty thousand...
Take it to start, come on...
Freeze!
Madam, come on, get them!
