We may affirm absolutely
that nothing great in the world
has been accomplished without passion.
- Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
No one would coax a child looking so grumpy.
You'll only scare Sing.
He doesn't scare easily.
What the hell is wrong with you?
I hold a winning hand and you let him win!
Do you know how to play? You want to die?
Lohan!
What's wrong with you? Keep it down!
It's my son's 100 Day feast.
No more death or dying! You'll scare him.
He's not made of paper.
Lohan, Foon-hei is a bit uptight.
Foon-hei, don't be a spoil sport.
Kids grow up faster if you scare them.
See? She knows propriety.
You finally have a son at your age,
I can't be happier for you.
I'll double his present.
Why is there money on the floor?
Boss...
This is not a triad meeting, sit down...
I'll pick that up.
No, let me.
Lohan gave me a present and I dropped it.
No, I let it slip out of my hand.
Everything will prosper if we live in harmony.
I brought a present for your son.
Thank you, Mr. Ngai.
A golden rice bowl means he won't have to worry about food.
Thanks, Boss!
Congratulations!
What are you doing here?
I came to congratulate you, of course!
Old Cheung Hing must be going downhill.
Why pick such a dump?
Foon-hei, you should have told me.
I'll find you a big hotel (funeral home).
What did you say? What?
What the hell is wrong with you?
What did you say?
Sit down...
Mr. Ngai! I didn't even see you.
Where's your son? Still hiding in the U.S.?
That's none of your business.
Of course! You're not my boss anymore.
People who used to work for you are now working for me.
Whitehead Biu, you're welcome if you came to congratulate me.
But if you're here to start trouble, you'll answer to me.
Of course I'm here to congratulate you.
Where's the present?
The 5 Tigers of Cheung Hing should be big on loyalty.
You have a son and I bring him this,
to help pay for his tuition or milk formula.
That's too expensive. I can't accept it.
It's for the kid, not for you.
Better check with your wife.
Since I can’t subsidize you forever,
here's a deal for you.
You're the only Tiger who have not yet joined the new Cheung Hing.
On this happy occasion, let good things come in pairs.
If you agree, I'll pay cash for your transfer.
You're out of your mind!
You call this loyalty?
Maybe Mr. Ngai is hard on cash.
Look at him, he needs the money.
If old Cheung Hing goes out of business,
you'll have nothing left.
Don't come between a man and his money.
Foon-hei, it's your choice.
I won't hold it against you.
Give it here!
I accept the gift. Now you can leave.
You're the enemy if you're not my friend.
I don't mind a little bloodshed.
Brother Biu, shall I get you a room?
See? Your wife has manners.
On account of your wife and son,
I'll leave you alone today. Let's go.
It's OK now, let the feast begin.
Let's eat!
I'm not drunk! Right...
You did me a huge favor today, brother.
I'll return it someday.
That creep has no respect...
I'll show him one of these days.
Right! Be careful, Boss!
Watch out, Boss!
Watch your step, Mr. Ngai!
Let's go get the car.
Go on home. I still have something to do.
Take her home.
Yes, Brother Foon-hei!
Don't stay out late.
I know.
Please come this way.
HYPOCRITE!
Hello! Nice to meet you, Mr. Mobius!
Boss, Mobius is a foreigner.
I wonder if he's black or white.
I don't know.
He's been elusive since he made a name for himself 3 years ago.
He's been my supplier for Z years and I have never met him.
Why do business with him if he's so cocky?
Mobius is the sole dealer of the best cocaine from Colombia in SE Asia.
I've been paying the middleman for 2 years.
Now he's finally willing to do a $200M deal with me directly.
After this deal, the new Cheung Hing will be so loaded,
we can gobble up the old Cheung Hing.
Mr. Mobius?
Who the hell are you?
Looking for Mr. Mobius?
Mr. Mobius is the third generation of Cheung Hing, Ngai Tak-shun.
What do you want?
After working with you for Z years,
I only wish to tell you one thing.
There will never be a new Cheung Hing.
Because there's only one Cheung Hing
and it belongs to the Ngai family.
Whatever belongs to my family,
I will get it back personally.
Watch out, Dad!
Grandpa passed you the seal.
You have a responsibility to guard it.
Victor, thanks for taking care of Whitehead Biu.
Cheung Hing is Grandpa's lifetime effort,
a traitor like Whitehead Biu
must be taken out without mercy.
That's not how you stamp it.
First, wipe away the residue ink and dirt,
dip it in the ink gently, evenly, don't press too hard...
and stamp it forcefully and accurately.
If the stamp was not done properly,
be resolute enough to get rid of it.
You have worked too hard. You need a break.
I bought you a house in Canada.
You'll like the air and the people.
Take a long vacation and get some rest.
Give young Master Ngai a big hand.
Long time no see. Please call me Victor.
People thought you're too good to get involved with triad business.
But you surprised us all.
You took care of Whitehead Biu as soon as you came home.
Where's the Boss?
Whoever holds the seal is the Boss.
Dad is getting old, I want him to rest.
He passed the seal to me.
Starting today, you'll deal with me.
That's rather sudden, isn't it?
Why didn't the Boss tell us?
He's not feeling well today.
Won't you let him rest?
You claimed the Boss passed the seal to you.
What if you stole it from him?
It'll go down better if the Boss tells us the same.
OK! Airplane, ask Dad to come out.
Yes, Boss!
Boss! Boss!
I'm letting Victor take over as the leader of Cheung Hing.
I willingly step down.
Victor thinks I'm working too hard.
He wants me to take it easy in Canada.
Boss, you can level with us.
I'm no longer your Boss.
There's only one Boss in Cheung Hing.
That's all I have to say. Don't speculate.
Airplane, help Dad inside.
Sure!
Bye!
Well? Anyone who is uncomfortable is welcome to leave.
No? OK...if no one is leaving,
please answer my question.
Why is it for the last 3 years,
Cheung Hing can't compete with the imposter?
3 years ago, the average age of the senior member was 40.
That traitor poached the young and able,
leaving behind those of you who are sitting down and approaching 50.
And the Boss? My Dad is 70.
Whitehead Biu was 55.
Do you know how old was Grandpa when he founded Cheung Hing?
He was 20.
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook once said,
"young people are just smarter".
No doubt that was a bit subjective,
but the triad must keep up with the times
and not be weeded out by it.
I have decided to reduce the average age of our management to 35.
Foon-hei, how old are you?
Late 50s.
I'm worse. I just turned 60.
Foon-hei, you and I might as well jump into the harbor.
Young people are quick, driven and willing to take chances.
But they lack experience and connections.
Lohan, you've been around for decades
and Foon-hei was a cop.
You're well connected with people from both sides of the law.
Now that the new Cheung Hing is back under Cheung Hing,
only one person didn't return my call.
Who was it?
Chui Tin-tong is an ordinary member.
He has no desire to move ahead.
He only wants the brand so he can save on protection money.
He runs a high class joint in Tsimshatsui
and makes $2M a month by renting it out to the rich.
Not a bad deal.
OK, it's not about seniority,
I want to give credit where credit is due.
Whoever brings in Chui Tin-tong will be my right-hand man.
That's all.
Ngai Tak-shun, Ngai Chung-shank only child.
He was not heard from again after he went to high school in the U.S.
Word has it Ngai Cheung-hing doted on his grandson,
and that's why he let Ngai Chung-shan succeed him.
A bit like Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong.
I don't care who he is. I want to come in.
Are you crazy?
You wanted me to go after Ngai Chung-sham,
now he's history, you should bring me in.
His son Victor is ruthless.
He unseated his old man.
I have a young wife and son,
it's too dangerous for me to stick around.
Ngai Tak-shun is the sole dealer of cocaine in Asia.
Have you an idea how many people are dead because of him?
Don't forget we're cops.
Don't tell me you want to quit now.
Your ambition is not my business.
You get the credit for nailing the drug lord.
That bloody bracelet is not enough to buy my life.
Who taught you to be a handler?
A handler must protect the UC.
But you're hanging me out to dry.
I know you don't think I qualify to be your handler.
Because we're the same grade, I'm not qualified to be your head.
Don't forget you were too hot-headed to pick a fight with a SP
and was kicked off the force.
If I didn't make you a UC,
you won't be a copy anymore.
Should I get down on my knees and kiss you for your kindness?
I want you to contain your temper
and respect me as your handler.
Foon-hei, one more month.
Beat Lohan and become Ngai Tak-shun's right-hand man.
Find out what's his next project.
I promise I'll find you a replacement.
Don't lie to me.
Your wife thinks you're in the triad.
I know you made a huge sacrifice.
Don't you want to go out with a bang
so Sing can be proud of you?
Very well. This is absolutely the last time.
Brother Tin-tong...
What's this?
Your favorite.
Fire and ice?
I don't see any ice, just fire.
Fire...
Tin-tong! HEY, Playboy!
Hi, Playboy! Hello, everyone!
So good to see you! Thanks!
What's this?
Good stuff. Give it a try.
Are you toying with me?
You don't want to?
Everyone, show time for Playboy!
Yeah...wow! Ready?
Brother Tin-tong!
Playboy...
Bravo, Playboy!
Champagne on me tonight! Yeah!
Whatever makes you happy, right?
Of course! Yeah...
Someone is waiting for you in the VIP room.
Be right there!
Strip...
Brother Foon-hei, you know Playboy?
Want a private party?
$8M, you and your joint are mine.
Not selling?
Then I'll have you busted.
Brother Foon-hei!
You will sell.
Look, Brother Tin-tong.
Brother Tin-tong, cops are coming.
Chum Foon-hei means business.
Play it again. Right!
Hi, long time no see! Hi!
Playboy! Tin-tong!
Hey! What?
Police! Kill the music, hit the lights.
Men on one side, women on the other.
Hurry up, get your I.D. cards ready.
Hurry up! Who's the license holder?
Have your I.D. cards ready.
I am, officer!
You? Where's your license?
No problem. I know the drill.
Get the license for the officers.
Get my I.D. card too.
Frisk him.
Spread out your arms.
Thank you, officer!
No missing persons or DD.
Let's go!
Thank you, officers!
Bye!
Put on the music and the lights.
Thanks, Ti n-tong.
You're on my turf, you're covered.
You'll always have my support.
Thanks. Have a good time. Here...
You want it? You can have it.
Bored? When Sing is asleep.
I'll sit with you in the front.
No need. I enjoy being the chauffeur.
I don't mind doing it for life.
Good, you're smiling.
Don't kill a fly with your knitted brows,
you'll scare our son.
You look so phony, you're scaring me.
Sn“...
Where did you learn how to drive?
You broke the rules.
I started with Cheung Hing when I was 18.
You've only been here 3 years and want to get ahead of me?
Give it a rest.
If I can come from behind, it's high time you do some soul searching.
Sing won't stop swing, maybe he's hurt!
Let's take him to the hospital.
Spend more time with the family.
There are too many accidents on the streets.
If you end up in heaven, your son will be kneeling in the funeral home.
Don't think you can mess with me because I'm a woman.
You'll be sorry when I go crazy.
I don't care about your triad rules.
You'll be sorry if you mess with my family.
I will kill you and I don't care if you're Lohan or Guanyin.
Never mind him, let's take Sing to the hospital.
He's just soared, he's not hurt.
But I heard a murmur in his heart.
The boy has aortic stenosis.
It's a congenital heart disease.
Is it curable?
Medication can relieve his condition
or we can perform a balloon angioplasty to widen the aortic valve.
He may suffer a relapse
and we may need to put in an artificial heart valve.
I understand you're very worried,
but for now, we can use medication
to monitor his condition and decide later.
Don't worry! The doctor said he can fix it.
I won't let anything happen to Sing.
Hoi, I suspect the operation failed because we have an internal mole.
It's possible there has been a leak in the UC files already.
I'm transferring my files...
(Delete after file transfer?)
...onto a USB.
If anything happens to me,
I hope you'll ensure the safety of all the UCs.
What happened?
Lai Sir was gunned down.
He's been taken to the morgue.
Someone caught on. There's danger.
When will backup arrive?
820575602458
Hey! Give that back to me.
A plane ticket to Bangkok?
You're Lai Sir's UC?
I'm from CIB. Come with me to HQ.
Hey!
Hello, Uncle Lohan.
There you are. Here's $9M..
Count the money.
You've been around.
Someone of your caliber won't try to cheat me. Thanks.
Have some tea if you're not in a hurry.
You're so kind!
Drink up... Right!
Nice?
Only vintage tea is mellow.
And only old ginger is more pungent.
You're not so bad yourself, as a newcomer.
Just drop my name if you run into any trouble.
Wow! That's great! But I can’t.
Don't say that. We're family.
I'll let you meet the Boss and promote you.
Thank you!
Your ride is here, Uncle Lohan.
Need a lift?
No, I'll stay and enjoy the tea.
Suit yourself.
Thanks for the tea.
Is it hard looking after Sing?
Cut the crap. I want to come in.
We agreed on one more month.
I don't stand a chance against Lohan.
Try kissing up to Ngai Tak-shun.
You're conning me.
If you come in now, our past effort would have been wasted.
Cheung Hing won't let you off easy even if you're a cop again.
Does that mean you won't reinstate me?
Give me a new identity. I want to emigrate.
You let Lohan beat you because you want to leave?
I have done my part.
Is this what you think of me?
You won't let me be a cop?
I quit on the spot.
You'll have my resignation later.
I'll find my own way to leave town.
Brother Foon-hei, Lohan was gunned down.
Everyone said we did it.
Pick up my wife and son now.
Take them to Macau.
Let's go!
Hang in there...you'll be fine.
I'm finally doing my job as a handler.
Go...to your wife.
Ching Sir!
Don't be scared, Sing. We'll be fine.
Get out...
Go ahead and shoot!
Honey!
Foon-hei, Sing is fine.
Hang in there, you'll be fine when we reach the hospital.
You know what I love about you?
Your bad temper and your impulsiveness.
I love your true temperament, whether you're a cop or a gangster.
Without me around, don't be so irritable.
Don't say that...
Let me finish...
Stay happy...like your name.
Get rid of those knitted brows or you'll scare our son.
Promise me to smile more, OK?
I promise.
Bigger...let me see your teeth!
I promise. Honey...
Honey!
