It was the best of times,
it was the worst of times.
It was the age of wisdom,
it was the age of foolishness.
It was the epoch of belief,
it was the epoch of incredulity.

The durian is very good.
Are you Japanese?
Hung Kong.
Genuine Thai Monthong. Don't miss it.
Let's see.
Don't bother. They're the best.
This one is not ripe yet.
The thorns are stuck together, this is over-ripe, it's bitter.
Get lost if you're not buying.
No thanks!
9-finger Keung changed his itinerary.
He's going to the Thai temple.
Where are you going?
Soi Cowboy.
Soi Cowboy? No problem...
Come...$300 for two.
No...$100, one man.
Come...sit down!
What's in Soi Cowboy?
Gogo Bar, of course!
Gogo Bar is out.
You're so good looking,
I'll show you a new place.The girls are hot.
Well?
Let's go!
Go...hurry!
No problem! It won't take long.
Hey Gorgeous! Come, I buy you a drink.
Sorry?
Sit here. I buy you a drink.
You don't know Chinese?
What?
I don't want to spoil your fun.
You might find an extra rod in bed.
Don't jinx me!
What are you guys talking about?
I want you to sleep with me the next 2 or 3 nights, OK?
Don't forget we have a job to do the night after tomorrow.
Don't worry! I'll go all the way tonight.
Date with me tonight?
Maybe. Excuse me. I need to touch up on my makeup.
OK!
She's really something.
I wonder how good she is.
(Target on the move the night after tomorrow)
Are you blind? I have a rod?
Eat that!
Sorry!
Watch where you're going!
Painful? It's OK!
OK.
OK! Good! Lik...
Done? Yes!
Let's go!
Thank you!
Yes, thank you!
Bye!
Room Service!
What are you looking for, Chief?
Wing-cheong!
Who has the audacity to make our Cheuk Sir go through garbage?
It's part of the act.
Not everyone has a cushy job like yours.
Stop horsing around. Give that back.
It's been too long since I raced you.
Beat you by a scrap of paper.
You're not as good as you used to be.
Perhaps it's time to pass the bet on.
It's yours to take.
Man, tiger, clever, now, yin, eight, mouth, wide, mouth, car...
9-finger Keung circled these 10 words.
It must be a code.
What do they mean?
Warehouse #8.
It's the quick code of Chinese input.
Eight, mouth, clever, tiger, man, now, Yin, mouth, wide, car.
There are so many warehouses in Bangkok,
how do we know which one?
You dream of beating me and didn't realize you have already lost.
Pills for seasickness? He's taking a boat!
Why didn't I think of that?
But we still don't know when and where.
How do we find out which dope dealer he has contacted?
9-finger Keung and his contact are super careful.
We bugged his phone but still don't know when and where they're going to meet.
But 9-finger Keung said they have a job to do tomorrow night.
All the calls he made start with 66-38.
66-38 is the area code for Rayong.
Bangkok has tons of warehouses, but Rayong has only one.
That means warehouse #8 in Rayong.
Once we confirm the deal between 9-finger Keung and his contact,
then we alert the Thai Police.
How are you? Here's to your health!
Hi, brother!
It's Nichkhun!
I sell the best stuff in Thailand.
We're going to get rich together.
Thank you!
Boss, it's the Good Luck Gang.
The Good Luck Gang! What a bunch of creeps!
Bravo, Lok!
9-finger Keung,
Nichkhun won't be doing any business with you.
You have a problem with doing business with the Good Luck Gang?
Who are you?
Everyone in Chinatown calls me Pak-key.
Consider the goods a present for our first meeting.
Pak-key, right? Here's to us.
Hello, everyone! I'm Wing-cheong.
Having a good time? Is everyone here?
Cheuk Sir! Cheuk Sir!
Have you met?
I'm Luen.
Call me Birdy.
Raptor.
Tomato.
I'm... Wing-cheong, right?
Good! You have met.
I brought you a treat.
The famous glutinous rice with mangoes from Thonglor.
Even though you don't need to eat it hot,
at least do me the courtesy and eat it.
Hold on...you're being too polite.
Cheuk Sir is buying?
It must be something bad.
This is too good to be true.
He's up to no good!
I'll level with you, you're too smart.
We had to stay in Thailand a bit longer.
We identified the local dealer.
The Good Luck Gang from Chinatown took the dope in a double-con.
I reported it to the brass.
Turns out they supply dope to many triads in Hong Kong.
We have been instructed to find out more.
We have to keep saying "Kob kun krub"?
I'll soon forget how to speak Cantonese.
Whatever you say, just don't forget you're a woman.
Don't get so tanned or you'll forget you're a Hong Konger.
It's not so bad,the food is tasty and cheap.
Stay for good if you like it so much.
Stay!
Not for good.
The leader of the Good Luck Gang is Cheng Pak-key.
He runs a shipping business,
probably for drug trafficking.
Our objective is the data in his computer in the office.
We can leave once we get it.
That's good. I was afraid I'd be stuck doing tattoos.
You know how? I want one.
Sure!
Don't trust him. He had one removed.
He probably practiced on himself and screwed it up.
What was it? Was it a flower?
Chrysanthemum?
Chinese moccasin? The totem worshipped in Taiwan.
It stands for confidence and courage.
Raptor, you had that when you went undercover in Taiwan?
Confidence and courage? Very good!
As a UC, you had to be someone else.
Other people's tattoos last forever.
But you had it done and then removed.
You can take away the tattoo,
but not your confidence and courage.
Just hang in there for a bit longer.
Enjoy the glutinous rice with mango.
We head home after we get the Good Luck Gang computer.
And dim sum is on me.
Thank you, Sir!
Thank you!
Herbal ball massage, Brother Pak-key?
Yes!
Can I see your key?
Thanks.
You should get a massage too. Try to relax.
I don't need to relax.
8031.
Brother Pak-key sent for me.
Where is he?
He's not here yet.
I'll show you to the conference room.
You can wait for him here.
Great! No CCTV in the make out room.
It's inconvenient for me today.
I don't want to jinx Brother Pak-key.
My friend is coming.
Tell her to hurry.
Don't keep Brother Pak-key waiting.
I won't. Good!
Hello?
Is it Speedy Maintenance?
Yes. Can I help you?
This is Good Luck shipping in Chinatown.
The power went out on our floor.
Can you send someone over?
No problem. Right away!
I'm here to fix the power.
It's the 4/F. Hurry!
Miss, is the power out?
Yes!
Where's the meter room?
This way. Follow me. Great!
Here...thank you!
I can manage, thanks. Great!
All done.
Thank you!
Finished?
Where's Tomato?
He's not back.
No way! He's usually fast.
Tomato.
Hello?
Chief, we were going too fast.
The engine is overheated. We can't make it.
We're out of time. We'll drop it off.
Your lymph nodes are rather swollen.
Would you like another part?
I can give you an oil massage.
No.
It can detoxify the body and reduce excess water.
I don't want oil all over my body.
Our pure vegetable oil is very effective.
The Boss said he doesn't want oil.
Then let's do another part without oil.
No. Finish the neck and I have to go.
We're stuck in traffic. Stall him.
Sit down...I'm so sorry!
I'll get you a wet towel!
No thanks. I have to go.
But...
Relax! You'll get your tip.
Thank you!
Thank you, sir!
Hey!
I blew it!
Chief, I can't drive like that.
Don't pass me the bet on.
You can if your life depends on it.
Not again!
Bingo! Mission completed!
Pak-key's file contains telegrams, contacts and group history.
A full record of his deals.
His contacts are his business partners?
We even have all his distribution outlets.
He's doomed!
Great!
I'm going home. What do you think?
Yes!
Good job, team!
I'll report to the brass now
and dim sum is on me when we get home.
Bravo!
Glutinous rice chicken...
Glutinous rice chicken!
Yes! Yeah!
New"
Glutinous rice chicken.
Let's play another pebble game while there's still time.
How do you play this? How do we do this?
Want to learn?
The key is to toss it as high as...
Madam Cheung? Cheuk Hoi. The job is done.
We also have a bonus.
The Thai Police really should thank us.
The credit goes to the UCs, not me.
Please give them a recommendation...
Cheuk Sir, this is CSP Chan Sir from the Internal Investigations Office (IIO) ,
and Assistant Commissioner Hui Sir.
Cheuk Sir, I just received a formal report from Thailand.
Same as the initial report,
it was a gas explosion accident
that did not involve any human factors.
According to the rules,
you're temporarily suspended pending an internal investigation.
It's only a matter of formality.
We received a formal thank you letter from the Thai Police
saying based on the information you have provided,
the Good Luck Gang stopped most of their activities.
The operation was a success.
Sir, I have a request.
Go ahead.
The team has gone under for so long.
I hope they can be reinstated as Police officers
and be buried in Gallant Garden.
Cheuk Sir, you must know we don't have such a precedent.
Can you make an exception?
If we bury them in Gallant Garden,
we'll be announcing to the world our UCs died in Bangkok.
It was a secret joint operation between Hong Kong and Thailand,
no one must know.
Rules and mechanism are more important than 5 lives?
I know you feel guilty you lost 5 UCs,
but we still have other UCs in the field.
If we go public on this,
their lives will be endangered too.
All UCs knew their lives are the line when they took the job.
They knew sacrifices must be made.
As a handler, you must understand.
The Police is a disciplined service,
you must obey your orders.
Don't make any moves on your own.
Target turned onto the main street.
Raisin Bun, Pineapple Bun, show time.
Time's up. Sandwich, take over at the next light.
We're just warming up.
You were too young to start cadet school when Cheuk Sir was tailing someone.
Sorry, Lai Sir! I blew it.
Dismissed! I'll do it.
I lost the target.
Dismissed.
What would you like?
Fishballs with extra thick noodles and braised beef sauce,
add a bit sesame oil and vinegar.
You know that brat?
I'm a friend of Raptor's.
He's in the gang.
You're no better if you know him, get out!
My shop is not good enough for you.
Don't get angry, Auntie.
Raptor is now running a proper business in Thailand.
He's making money but too busy to come home.
He knew I'm in Hong Kong so he asked me to drop by.
He also wanted me to give you this jade pendant for your safety and good health.
He's really running a legal business?
He's a good kid.
You're lying! I'm his mother.
I know who and what he is.
He's hopeless.
He can't possibly run a legal business.
If he did, cut off my head and sit on it.
Auntie... Go away!
You're wrong about Raptor.
Go! Take this pendant with you.
Go!
It's the thought that counts. Please take it
Give it back to him.
He's in a gang, he needs protection more than I do.
He should come home if he's worried about me.
Thanks, Kuen.
My puppies still don't get it.
The tracking technique is secondary to understanding the target.
We've been friends for over 10 years,
I know you won't do anything reckless.
But I have a job to do too.
You did me a huge favor.
But I couldn't even return a relic to his family
Give it to me.
You and I are their family.
You and I picked them.
Raptor was easily soared at first.
Why did we pick him?
You said someone who's scared will be careful.
What about Birdy? Her family is loaded.
She didn't need the money.
I said coming from a rich family, she wouldn't be blinded by greed.
Tomato was a sucker for good food.
He failed the physical, but he drove a mean car.
Luen wanted to host Police Report,
but she was so good looking,
and we needed a UC to go near a gang leader back then.
Hoi, it's all in the past.
And Wing-cheong, Yi Jin graduate who wanted the pay.
He was kicked out because he cursed the instructor before graduation.
I thought he couldn't last very long,
but he was still on the job when he died.
Enough! Don't dwell on it.
I must.
I sent them over there.
None of them made it back.
If I didn't pick them, they would have a completely different ending.
They took the job willingly and you know it.
Take a break and start over when you're reinstated.
I want to quit.
Can you stand not being a cop?
I can't gamble with people's lives anymore.
Remember Chum Foon-hei?
As a cop, we walk on a tightrope.
You miss a step and there's no turning back.
Whether or not you quit your job is your decision.
Just promise me, don't be the second Chum Foon-hei.
