I don't have money to help my dad repay his debts,
get my mom the operation, or find a good lawyer for my brother.
How much do you need?
300 grand.
3... 3... 300 grand?
Are all men different after sleeping together?
You promised me you would wash the dishes, otherwise cockroaches will come.
Do men always have to have needs, or can they chat a bit first?
Men are made differently from you women, it's hard to control.
Then women's psychological make up is different from men, never so urgent.
Aren't relationships troublesome?
Auntie is very healthy, uncle has no debts, and her brother is in university.
You've been played, fool, let's go.
Doctor Kim, Psychologist.
One of the defining characteristics of this illness, is that suddenly you don't
know yourself, and you want to explore your inner self.
And the more you want to understand yourself, the more unfamiliar you feel.
Jeez, she said the same thing to me.
I have never met a man who was such a skinflint. Here's $20, keep the change.
Free lunch? Dream on.
How corny is that?
$500 G's?!?
Kowloon Government Offices
That should work.
Then get a move on it.
Food's here, great.
Keep the change.
Leave some for me.
Fill yourself up on cigarettes.
Oh, my stomach.
Last night at the government offices, there was a case of group poisoning.
3 men and 2 women are in intensive care, initial tests indicate anthrax.
After 9-11, a number of US cities had anthrax attacks, carried out via mail.
Anthrax, also known as the poor man's nuclear bomb, is viewed by the...
US Department of Defense as the primary biological weapon threat.
Anthrax for biological weapons is made by taking the bacilli in spore form
and milling it into a highly refined powder.
There are three transmission methods: 1. via dermal lesions,
2. via the respiratory tract, and 3. via the digestive system.
This is the first case of an anthrax attack in all of Asia;
it looks like the target is the HKSAR government.
Does the CIB have any intelligence?
So far, we haven't received blackmail,
and no terrorist organization has taken responsibility.
So we have no idea of knowing why or when the next attack will come.
Correct, we don't have nearly enough information, and even less time.
It's a race to keep the killer from striking again. Fa, Bowie,
check with the immigration department to see if anyone,
besides the terrorists we monitor regularly, has entered the SAR
Yes, Madam.
Rachel, send the relevant information on anthrax to all government bureaux
and public organizations for me, and remind them to heighten their alertness.
Yes, Madam.
Eddie, contact the Hospital Authority and Department of Health,
and have them get ready for a possible large influx of cases.
Yes, Madam.
Get to it.
Come in.
I emailed you the information you wanted.
As expected, the CIB won't let you down.
And we had an unexpected gain also;
the reason we didn't know where to start
on this case is because someone deliberately concealed key information.
3 months ago, at a federal medical research institute in Kobe, Japan,
there was a burglary incident during research of an anthrax sample.
As soon as we heard of it, we contacted the Japanese authorities.
They would not comment directly, but gave us information that confirmed it.
Kam Chi-hung, a Hong Kong Chinese national, was taken to Japan by his mother
when she remarried. He grew up in Hyogo prefecture,
and ardently pursued academic research.
A stellar student in the medical biology department,
he went to work in a Kobe medical research facility after graduation.
Up until this burglary, he was working there as the assistant director,
and was in charge of this anthrax research.
Is all this information provided by the Japanese government?
On account of national security, this is what they gave us.
So they also suspected him; why didn't they pursue the investigation?
After the theft of the sample, he disappeared.
The Japanese government has yet to get blackmail or suffer an attack.
There's no warrant out for Kam, and he has no criminal record,
so he can enter Hong Kong right through the front door.
Fajust gave me arrival records.
He really did come to Hong Kong.
If the target is here, don't you want to find him and speak with him?
Since you're so busy, shall I cancel your booking with Dr. Kim for you?
I didn't go back, did you?
Sure; you should go resume treatment.
No need.
I won't give up half way before the treatment is completed.
You're a pro at catching criminals, why not leave mental problems to the experts?
Don't act like seeing a doctor when you have a problem is for weaklings.
Don't think you understand me, I believe I can solve my own problems.
Solve them how?
Work! Work can make me forget all those things that make me unhappy.
Eddie, help me check up on someone, his name is Kam Chi-hung.
Good luck.
He came to Hong Kong today.
It's not fair.
Wow, $500 grand. When you asked me for a little cash a few days ago,
was it to buy stockings for a robbery?
I wouldn't rob so little. Hand it over.
Hey, it's Yiu Lai-fa's?
Not so loud!
How come you have her passbook? I thought you two weren't talking.
Tell me, a girl, doesn't eat that much, doesn't attract anyone,
there aren't even any chances to cheat her, what does she need the money for?
Might as well give it to me for an auto shop, right?
You can't use her for, I should say cheat her of, her money. That's not manly.
You don't watch enough TV. All men rely on women to establish themselves.
You took an interest in her when you got her passbook.
Yes, I'm jealous of her wealth, I hate her for being wealthy,
when I see she has so much money, I go into a rage.
Do you know how many people are out of work,
how many people line up for assistance?
What does that have to do with it?
So many people work their whole lives without getting anything.
Why does she deserve so much money? I'm not giving it back.
Let her eat cake.
You make no sense.
Quickie! Brother Yung.
Don't move, you're in the right place, I'm hungry! Where's my cut.
Come on, this is someone's order.
If you want, I'll bring a toasted ham sandwich for you in a minute.
You're always like this, so serious. I'm only kidding!
Right, I don't even understand kidding, and so I ended up doing deliveries.
Wow, it's ordered by your goddess!
Bowie ordered this?
You know her? I'll make it my first stop.
Wait, you know this is my hood. Yeah...
And I always patronize your diner. Yeah...
And I haven't corrupted your kid. Sure...
Here it is, straight up: After you deliver, leave right away, don't stare at anything.
Don't worry, I only have eyes for my kid, I won't look at anything.
Great, thanks. Walk well, be quick, don't get yourself into a bad situation.
You are a sucker for her, beyond hope.
What are you doing, not even answering the door.
Here's your order, sorry I'm a little late.
A little? More than a little.
Sorry, it won't happen again. $32.5, please.
That's it? Did you forget anything?
Toast, ham and egg macaroni, iced lemon tea lightly sweetened, it's all there.
That's all stuff I ordered. You're not eating?
Didn't get to last night's udon, I'll just take it out and eat it now.
Do you need to be so cheap?
Enjoying the view?
I didn't see anything.
Why are you making such a mess?
Where is it?
You knew I ordered delivery, dress a little more cautiously next time.
Your change.
Dirty old man.
Spare me.
You're making such a mess, you knocked over my change.
There.
$7.5? What about the other $10? Did that jerk pocket my change?
What are you looking for?
I'm looking to fix someone.
What?
That's not the right amount, are you trying to pull something?
It's $107, you gave me $120, so your change is $13, it's right Robert.
Are you trying to rip me off?
Everyone saw I gave you one $100 bill, and one $50 bill.
$50? Yeah.
Are you sure you remember?
I always take that for a $20 bill, it was a $50, sorry Robert, here's the rest.
Don't let this happen again.
Next time tea's on me, sorry, sorry.
You really bring bad luck. Better for you not to sit here, let me.
Excuse me, I'm here to get change. I was shorted $10.
Keep this up, and you could be jailed.
But there was also a $10 coin.
Didn't see it, didn't get it.
I'm sorry.
If you want to go tojail, that's fine, just don't ruin my diner, OK?
I must be really senile today, forgetting things all day. Ah, yes, here's a $10 coin.
Next time the egg tart is on me, sorry.
That jerk tried to cheat me, and now the food's all cold.
If it's not in the house, where is it?
What?
Right, I should ask you, have you seen my red passbook?
No, people still use red passbooks?
Mind your own business.
I have to gather my thoughts and recreate the scene.
Why go through all this? Can't you just get a new one?
I'm afraid someone took it.
Even so, they can't use it to withdraw.
Anyway, it makes me uncomfortable.
Have you saved a fortune yet?
Of course not. Help me think, recently where have I been, and who have I seen?
To work, back home, eat out, the pub...
No-one asks you out, you see me more than anyone.
I've got it, it must be him.
I'll shower first, I'm so sleepy.
Fine, but tonight's the English Premier League match, gotta watch that first.
Who is it? Oh, you. You're in the wrong apartment.
It must be here.
What, are you the big policewoman now?
I have reason to believe you did not report a missing object you collected.
What did you lose, Fa?
Do you like it on top, or on bottom? Flower pattern or lace?
Where's my red passbook?
So if you lose something, you can just come in here and kick up a fuss.
If I lose money, can I go get it back from you?
I asked you to the diner that day, and brought it along.
Now it's missing, of course you took it.
You searched me and it's not there. Do I get to search you now?
You wish. Fortunately for you, I'm a fair person. If there isn't any evidence,
I won't frame you.
Hey, how can you treat us like this, coming and going as you please?
Sorry.
That's more like it. She woke me up.
Manchester against Hot Spur, huh? Get a couple of beers.
I thought you were busted. Where did you hide it?
What are you groping me for?
What are you groping there for, it's here.
Huh? Why is it here?
Do I look like I could be taken by a woman?
Then you put me in a bad spot just now, you asshole!
Think you're going to go through life rich. You old unwanted leftover. Burn it!
This is a very low price. I lowered it so much only because you are so sincere.
Give me an answer soon, OK?
We'll answer you ASAP.
Hello, Mr. Cheung. Have a look around.
Who knows if it's cheap? If he were making money, he'd be able to hold out.
Do you have doubts, buddy? If you don't, don't hold me back.
Never, running into you like that is proof we're fated to work together.
Now it's all coming together, I just need some capital.
If you could spot me the capital, this would all be even more perfect.
If I had enough capital for you, I wouldn't need a partner.
You don't have it either?
Sure, I borrowed my half.
Doesn't matter, if you don't have it, find someone who does.
You're not... living off a woman?
A gentleman doesn't ask for sources.
3 months ago I was down and out like you.
But this world is filled with dumb, rich women.
They're all over. Here's my cash come now.
Wow, very dependable.
Can we go yet? You said you would go with me for high tea.
Let's go. I'll wait to hear from you, I really want to work with you.
OK, I'll call you.
Later. Bye.
Come on.
What a cruel twist of fate, to become this kind of a man.
I don't believe there's no other way than relying on a woman.
Guys in this industry are cool.
Will fate smile on me, any chance to change my lot?
Yes, you can change it.
Wait, last time you said that I was in for 10 years of bad luck.
Yes, I said that, but fate can change.
I knew I wouldn't be unlucky my whole life.
Quick, tell me if good fortune is coming my way.
I'll make a last-ditch effort.
It's a real miracle! Your destiny can change with your heart.
Are you playing Zen again?
Every cloud has a silver lining;
success lies in conquering the barbarian's heart and mind.
Nothing new there.
In the Three Kingdoms period,
Zhu Ge-liang found a way to make his enemy serve as his general;
you can find a way to make your unlucky star into your lucky star.
Unlucky star into lucky star.
As far as the heavens, and right in front of your nose.
Is it really her?
By my calculations, you will see your lady three times before the day is out.
How can an unlucky star become lucky?
Mr. Li.
Uncle Chan, the water's been out in the toilet for days.
They're fixing it, it'll be fine soon.
Thanks. Miss Yiu?
Yes? The lift's under repair.
Oh? Doesn't matter, taking the stairs is healthier.
Isn't this against the natural order?
Relying on women is a false step, even more so with leftovers.
Poor boy, out of breath after a few stairs?
Is it really her?
Premature aging. If you have money, go buy some ginseng, grandpa.
Deliver me.
Much better.
What are you looking at? I'll poke your eyes out.
Not a second time! How evil!
Let's go.
Nothing will make me set a foot out this door tonight.
What, even if you don't have to watch shop, you still have to eat.
There's instant noodles in the kitchen.
We finished everything in the kitchen.
Anyway, after midnight, I can eat whatever I feel like.
You're wacko. I'm ignoring you.
So evil.
Bowie, what a surprise.
What's surprising?
Soon. After this bath, the day will be over. How likely is 3 times in one day?
I just won't go out!
Is anybody home?
What?
The gas is leaking, that's what!
Fine, I'll take care of it. Just go!
Quick, get out! What are you doing?
Help!
Midnight? Save me!
Keung, your bitter melon with pork.
Great.
You've changed; you hate bitter melon.
What doesn't kill me will make me stronger.
I'm a different person today. Things I didn't like to eat yesterday, I like today.
The girl I didn't like yesterday, I will chase today.
Put simply, you are chasing fa for the $300 grand to open an auto shop.
In order to win her money, I first need to win her heart.
Cheating her money is bad enough; cheating her heart, that's less than human.
I didn't want to cheat her, but it's heaven's will. I'm doing a good deed.
Anyway, 'OId Leftover' will get some attention and taste the joys of courtship.
I'm just afraid that once she falls for me, I won't be able to get rid of her.
I can't stand the sight of you. Eat in peace.
Think you'll get away this time?
No respect for public property!
Wait till you really step in it!
Please make way, CPU.
Chief Li, how's their condition?
We've confirmed that the wounded all contracted anthrax.
Madam, an hour ago the police found a package mailed by Kam Chi-hung.
Have you tested it?
Yes, there's no anthrax, just a disc.
Hong Kong is very pretty, but soon it will be a dead city.
If you want me to stop, give me one billion.
Madam, did you see something?
This is my only lead, I won't pass up any chance.
If you want me to stop, give me one billion.
Felix, enlarge it.
Bigger.
Enlarge the right eye.
Felix, hop to it.
Yes, madam.
We analyzed the computer image; the lens reflection is of a fitness center logo.
I've already checked; only 3 buildings in Hong Kong display this ad.
Split up and carry out your tasks.
Yes, madam.
It turns out that there are some things which you can't solve by yourself.
If it keeps on like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself.
And you said you didn't need to resume treatment.
Don't bother asking me to say it again.
There you go, if you're ill, it's normal to see a doctor, why take offense?
So, did she have any great insights?
She asked me how many glasses of water I drink in a day.
She asked me the same thing.
Did she tell you how much someone needs water is how much they need sex?
Are our problems so similar, or are Dr. Kim's theories all embracing?
No, my problem is I'm too repressed, so now my needs became too strong.
You know that I haven't had anything in the 7 years since I met Susan.
Now I'm worried, did Susan have some bad experience that made her...
so afraid of doing it?
Have you ever thought that maybe the problem is with you, not her?
Yes, I think I'm not devout enough.
So, did Dr. Kim help you?
She used the most complicated psychological terminology to tell me,
And I'm sure this is what she said, the problem definitely lies with me.
She said that before I was too direct, and lack of sentiment and communication
led to the other party's loss of enjoyment in drinking water.
She must have advised you,
everybody needs water, but why, how much, and when are always different.
Just like a kid, if the water's too plain, you give juice or something tastier.
In any case, it's that I didn't put enough of the right effort into it.
Dr. Kim told me that it would be best if I could find someone who didn't need water.
But the guys I meet would all die without it. If it keeps on like this...
sooner or later I will hate all men.
What about me? Now whatever I do Susan thinks I'm trying to get her in bed.
And still talk about preparation?
Wait, our situations match. You need someone communicative,
and I need someone to practice communicating with.
How about I cure you, and you be my therapy?
We can even save the medical bills.
Then I'll give you a discount, to be cheaper than Dr. Kim.
Thank you so much. It's a pact.
Someday.
I ordered 3 iced milk teas, not iced lemon tea. Trying to pull a fast one?
Sorry, I mixed it up again, I'll change them for you, sorry.
Forget it, let's go.
Leaving? Thanks, Robert, that'll be $36.
What $36, the stuff I ordered never came, pay for what?
But you finished it.
So what? This isn't what I ordered, there won't be any $36.
Skipping the bill? Call the cops.
No, no, I know Robert, it's all a mistake, I'll pay for it, sorry.
Don't let it happen again. Right
What's it to you?
If you're going, then go.
You even got on the wrong side of the triads, you're looking for trouble, you.
That'll cover it.
Next time they make any trouble, just call the cops.
The more you put up with, the cockier he'll get.
Everybody's just trying to make a living, only a few drinks, no problemo.
Ah Tsun, bring in those two boxes of paper cups from the back alley.
Sure.
What can I get you, miss?
Egg sandwich to go.
Ah Lung, egg sandwich to go.
Right.
Little boy? Auntie.
Good boy. Why are you alone here doing homework?
Waiting for my dad.
Kin. Dad.
Kin, an egg tart fresh out of the oven, eat it while it's hot.
Do you want some, dad?
No thanks, I can have them all day.
Auntie, do you want some?
Go ahead and have it. When auntie was your age, all she knew was to...
grab all the toys and food!
So generous. When he's grown up, he's sure to be popular.
The little urchin.
Your order isn't ready? They must have lost the slip, sorry.
Doesn't matter, I'm the one who should be sorry. I found the $10.
Just a mistake. No problemo.
I took a good person as a crook, and made a fuss. Go on, take it out on me.
How do you know I'm a good person?
I can tell by looking at your boy. Tell auntie your name.
Li Tze-kin. Tze as in 'boy', Kin as in 'healthy', but I forget how to write it.
No problem, auntie will teach you.
Don't trouble auntie.
That's OK, I have time. Say, do you usually put Kin out here?
It's the best I could come up with. I have to make a living,
and his mom isn't able to emigrate yet.
I don't feel comfortable leaving him at home, so I bring him here.
Kin, do you want auntie to help you with your homework?
Yes.
Yes, my foot! We can't trouble auntie.
Doesn't matter, I've helped kids with schoolwork before.
Our previous misunderstanding can bring us closer together.
And we're practically neighbors!
Tuition is a half dozen egg tarts!
Well, thanks, then.
As you would say, "no problemo"!
Thank your auntie!
Thank you, auntie.
OK, Kin, the first one is "orange".
Good boy!
"Good boy" just means you did well!
Dad promised me, if I get three 100's in a row on dictation,
he'll take me to a cartoon movie.
Wow! You better study hard. Next I'm going to quiz you on "banana".
Auntie has to go wee wee, take your time and no cheating!
Who are you looking for?
Kin, why are you here?
Write it one more time for me.
How did you get here?
I'm close with Kin, I thought I'd come over to visit and play with him.
Kin, remember not to open the door for strangers!
Uncle Quickie said you're friends, and that he lives here.
Please don't miseducate children, OK?
No, Bowie, I just came to borrow some...
Right, salt day before yesterday, then sugar yesterday, how corny is that?
Excuse me! Always in the way. Kin, what are you writing?
I forget how to spell it, Quickie taught me.
A grownup who can't spell 'banana'. Kin, don't take him as an example.
I hung up my school bag ages ago, and haven't had a banana lately, so I forgot.
Why don't you also take me as your student, and then I can see more of you?
Fine, but first go home and figure out how to spell banana. Thank you.
Wait for me! Good morning.
What are you doing putting on perfume?
It's called "Ocean Deep", it's the latest.
I'm allergic to perfume.
Sorry. There's a Japanese restaurant not far from here, I was wondering...
That restaurant is expensive, and so- so at best, I wouldn't even go for free.
Maybe when you have time, we could go together.
What's so good about Japanese food? It's expensive, and it doesn't fill you up.
Fa, how about...
I've had enough of you already.
I love you, from the mountaintop I cry, I need you
No, that's not "in" enough.
Yes, that way I can get her alone, now that's a plan!
Good morning, you're here too? Wow, same brand, what a coincidence!
You would do something this healthy?
Actually, I started jogging at the age of seven. Today is a little late for me,
normally I'm eating breakfast by now.
Don't you get up when others go to bed?
I wouldn't do anything unhealthy.
What, no perfume today?
I also wouldn't do anything that might affect you.
The tiger's changing his stripes?
People always change, like it or not.
You sound like you are terminally ill.
Just about. I just had a checkup.
Hepatitis, pulmonary pleurisy, goiter, osteoporosis, irregular menstruation.
Irregular menstruation? Men get that?
Anyway, I can't rely on medicine forever. I need to rely on myself, and you.
I'm not a doctor.
What I need is a skilled martial artist like you to get me into shape.
Please accept me as your disciple.
I know you harbor a grudge.
Since I searched you last time, you always look at me funny.
So tell me, are you trying to trick me?
You wouldn't want to see an industrious youth succumb to illness.
We're neighbors, you wouldn't stand by and watch me die? $500/class.
Deal, come on.
Yeah!
You can't even stretch, how will you learn martial arts?
Come on, you can take it.
Ko-yee will remember auntie's lessons.
What are you mumbling about?
Can I call you auntie?
Of course not, anybody can tell I'm younger than you.
Didn't you see the movie "Brave Archer and his Mate"?
Ko-yee is the disciple, and auntie is the master.
I think it's not just your heart, liver, legs, lungs, and kidneys;
your brain has a problem, too. Time stop.
Hey, that's one class?
What do you expect?
Even a natural talent like me took some time to build a foundation.
You think you can get it in one class? Hand over the money.
OK, OK, cool down, master.
Please be early tomorrow.
OK, OK.
That's an easy $500!
Bitch!
After computer analysis of the angle of the Logo's reflection,
the only possibility is #11 Russel Street in Causeway Bay,
flat 4 on either the 5th or 6th floor of an old residential building.
Flat 4 on the 5th floor is rented by a charity, so we've ruled that out.
Flat 4 on the 6th floor has been vacant for a year. Let's focus on this unit for now.
There is no room for failure on this operation, is everyone clear?
Yes, madam.
Madam, nothing unusual at the front door.
Copy. Alpha team ready?
Alpha team ready.
Bravo team ready?
Bravo team ready.
Action!
Clear!
All clear!
Don't!
The target has appeared.
Get out of the way!
Move, move!
Surround the area! Evacuate!
Yes, madam.
Madam.
