The planks on Theseus' ship
were replaced one by one,
until all the original planks
have been replaced.
Is this ship
fundamentally the same ship?
- Theseus' paradox
You want my club? You can have it.
Sure! Let's talk.
Fine!
You're willing to sell?
Do I have a choice?
Don't sell it to me.
Sell it to Lohan.
Here's $9M. Count it.
Nice. Karaoke, mini cinema and wine cellar.
An ordinary unit of an ordinary commercial building,
equipped with gorgeous women and booze.
Easy to split and no strings attached.
And the clients are happy.
Don't toy with me, Mr. Ngai. You're out of my league.
I like someone resourceful who doesn't burn all the bridges.
Get rid of your club.
You're a funny guy, Mr. Ngai.
You just said my club is nice,
now you want me to ditch it?
I did. Someone resourceful would not be cooped up in here.
Watch over me in the world out there!
I like you.
Hui Sir!
You should know other than CIP Lai Shui-kuen,
Inspector Ching Tin-ming also died yesterday.
I know.
CIB lost two officers in such a short time,
morale is at its all time low.
I can see that.
I hope you'll wrap up your psychological assessment ASAP
and report back to work to help boost CIB morale.
Hui Sir, I'm not ready.
With Lai Sir and Ching Sir gone,
you're the only one I can count on.
I don't think I can handle it.
The triad blatantly killed Police officers.
Lai Shui-kuen was your classmate.
Can you stand it?
Hui Sir, if Lai Sir had UCs in the field,
what would you do?
I hope you can take over ASAP.
I went through the record,
Lai Sir had no UCs out there.
I have one request.
Which is...
I wish to see Lai Sir.
I can't believe we came out of cadet school together,
recruited as a UC together
and now we're both promoted to handlers.
Like this little fish,
you follow me everywhere.
Why must you follow me?
What? What's with the long face?
I'm thinking of having our own UCs.
I wonder what they would be like.
Their lives will soon be in our hands.
UCs are alone in this world.
Just like this whale shark.
You face every crisis alone.
As handlers, we must give them proper back up
and bring them home in one piece.
Not one less.
I promise...
I will look into your death.
I will bring in your UCs.
Not one less.
Get out of my way. I have a plane to catch.
I need to back up a colleague.
Let go or I'm calling the Police.
Go ahead, PC35469 Cheng Suk-mui.
You were a mediocre cadet who barely passed your physical and firing range.
You were on the Force for 10 years,
and everyone treat you like their kid sister
because you made no progress whatsoever.
You gave out guns at the gun room in Kowloon West
and were fired from the job when you screwed up the guns.
Lai Sir chose you to help set up his UCs.
Big deal! I know who you are.
You're SIP Cheuk Hoi of C[B.
That's all I know.
My friend who manages the Police database has no access.
CIB is too secretive.
If you know nothing about CIB,
that means you have not started any training.
How can you backup anyone alone in Bangkok?
I always travel alone.
Do you know the danger of being a UC?
You may not make it home.
That's none of your business.
You're not my handler.
Your handler is not here anymore.
I know he's gone.
But the UC he wanted me to backup is in Bangkok.
If I don't go there, the UC probably won't make it back either.
Bye!
(You wish to permanently delete this file?)
I want to be a cop but you wouldn't let me.
Then I won't.
(Deleting...file deleted)
Honey, I know you wanted me to be upfront and have nothing to hide.
There was something I didn't tell you.
I'm a cop, not a gangster.
I'm an undercover agent.
If we were still working on the Force,
you wouldn't be dead.
You didn't care which side of the law I'm on,
for better or for worse,
you stuck with me no matter what.
Now I don't care anymore what's right or wrong, good or bad.
Ngai Tak-shun played Lohan and I off each other and got you killed.
For the rest of my life, I will only do one thing.
I will avenge you.
Brother Foon-hei!
Come in!
Did you get it done?
I took Sing to your Aunt in Macau.
Did anyone see you?
Don't worry, no one was following me or saw me.
Sure?
Positive! Thanks, Boss!
Be careful!
Brother Foon-hei, you came to the right guy.
I have all kinds of help for you.
Ex-soldier, ex-convict, someone from abroad...
They'll do anything for the right price.
They don't even have a decent pair of shoes.
Choose from Beijing, Sichuan, Shanghai, Chaozhou and Guangzhou cuisine.
It's OK if you don't see anyone you like.
When a man has nothing to lose,
he'll know how ruthless he can be.
Wait outside!
Well? Anyone catches your eyes?
From the right, #1, #4 and #8.
OK! No problem! Thank you.
What is it?
The food you ordered.
You kill without spilling blood.
Now let's see some of your blood.
Boss...
I took your money but failed the mission.
I should at least save your life.
Go! I'll cover for you.
What's your name?
Um Ping.
Stay alive and I'll pay you the balance.
(Bangkok, Thailand)
Have you decided yet?
Where do you want to go?
Can you take me to this place?
Pardon?
Where can you go with these numbers?
Maybe...XY axis?
XY axis? Latitude and longitude?
Why didn't I think of that?
You're smart.
There is the place.
How can I tell who is the UC?
Whoever is concentrating on doing something
but is in fact busy staring at me is the UC.
Maybe it's him.
Must be you!
What? No?
These two, maybe?
What's going on?
Is it you? Or you?
Why are they all staring at me?
Hi! Hi!
Your price tag.
What?
Your price tag. That's why everybody is looking at you.
Thank you!
How are you?
Is he the UC? I'm fine and you?
I'm OK. May I ask you something?
Must be him!
Sure!
Have you been to Jewelry Center? No!
Why? Why don't you be there?
Today is the last day.
This promotion is 7 days per year.
No tax! And they give you 7% discount.
Come! Let's go, hurry!
Come... OK!
Better be a sucker than go look for the UC.
If she can’t encode, how can she decode?
Let's try reverse thinking and swap X & Y.
Is this the tourist Police?
You speak Chinese? Great!
I want to file a complaint.
There was this con man
who conned me to go shopping.
Yes...I want you to stop him from conning tourists.
You understand? Great! Bye!
Miss, are you from Hong Kong?
We're the same type?
Yes, I'm also from Hong Kong.
You need my help?
You can say that.
Tell me.
The battery of my phone died.
Can I borrow your phone?
What else?
That's it.
You want to borrow my phone?
Is there a problem?
No. Here!
Thanks. Hey...
What?
Your other phone is ringing.
It's normal to bring 2 phones when you're on the road.
Right!
Hello, this is Foon-hei.
I'm in Bangkok.
Where can we meet?
Hello?
Hi, I'm calling from Basic Telecom.
Have you heard of our TV set top box?
Don't you people know roaming is very expensive?
You can tell from the ringtone.
Where is he? My phone!
He stole my phone!
Hey...come back!
Hey...blood thief!
How many, sir?
Where's Pak-key?
Brother Foon-hei, Brother Pak-key is waiting for you upstairs.
Say hello to Brother Foon-hei!
Brother Foon-hei!
Boss, Brother Foon-hei is here.
Brother Foon-hei! Hi, Pak-key!
Long time no see.
Have a seat.
It's been years. You look so different.
I'm the same. Have some tea.
Remember Lok?
He worked for me part time in Hong Kong.
He won't know a small potato like me.
I know you now.
Pak-key... What?
Do you have a cigarette? I quit.
You used to chain smoke.
The doctor said my lungs are not a pretty sight.
He wanted me to cut down,
I might as well quit.
Eat!
You eat shark's fin for lunch,
your lungs must be pretty now.
Look again, it's skinner than rice vermicelli. It's embarrassing.
Pak-key, you know what happened to me.
I'm sorry about the Mrs.
I intend to seek shelter from you.
Nonsense! Without you, I wouldn't be here.
Your business is my business.
Cheung Hing may have clout in Hong Kong.
But this is Thailand.
No one would dare touch you while I'm around.
How about lend me the troops so I can have my revenge.
Brother Foon-hei, we were busted by the cops.
We had to stop everything...
Don't bring that up!
I was just kidding...
Revenge is a dish best served cold.
I'll level with you.
I'm cutting you in on an upcoming deal.
If everything goes well, you get your troops, I get my money.
You can gobble up Cheung Hing and run Hong Kong.
Thanks!
Come on, let's eat! Sure...
Sta'! away from me! Hey!
What are you doing?
Don't follow me or I'll scream!
Miss...
Step aside!
How did you find me?
I remember the license plate of your taxi.
Don't change the subject.
Where's my phone? You stole it!
I think we have a misunderstanding.
I finished making a call.
You weren't back and I was in a hurry.
I put the phone back in your bag.
The hell you did!
Did you look?
I wonder who's calling me now. Bye!
Hello?
This is Cheuk Sir.
Go back inside and borrow money.
What?
Don't call me. Play by ear.
Hello?
I said you can’t go in.
I need...to borrow money.
I...
I used all my Baht on the taxi.
I need money to get back to the hotel.
I'm not...
Come on!
Miss, you made a mistake.
If I didn't lend him the phone,
I wouldn't have made the mistake.
Loan me some money. I'll pay you back.
Sorry! I used up all my Baht.
Loki
Just pay the cashier.
Next time be careful!
They didn't follow you.
You gave me quite a scare!
They didn't, but I did.
You need to brush up on your anti-tracking technique.
What are you doing here?
I'll tell you after you answer me.
Because of the messages in the phone Lai Sir gave you,
I came to Bangkok to backup an unidentified UC.
Using the latitude and longitude,
I found the restaurant owned by the Good Luck Gang.
Now tell me how you found your way over.
Wait! Using the same latitude and longitude,
why didn't you go to the temple
or end up at the pier?
Why did you come to this restaurant?
That's the second question.
Of course not!
This is a question derived from the first question. This is 1A.
CIB encrypted the latitude and longitude.
The usual practice is plus 1 and minus 1.
Who would have known?
Why not multiply and divide?
That's not fair to anyone not in the loop.
Who could have guessed?
If you don't encode and encrypt, might as well make it public!
Perhaps we should post our conversion table online?
Your turn. Tell me how you found this place.
I thought it was an act, but it was truly a coincidence.
Yes!
You had no idea the danger you were in.
I'm not surprised you don't know much about the Good Luck Gang,
but you're a cop, you must know Chum Foon-hei.
I only know Lee Chum-foon, the Flying Swordsman.
Chum Foon-hei was also a cop.
He joined the gang after he was discharged.
He's one of the bigshots in Cheung Hing.
But he disappeared after an internal strife.
He's highly dangerous.
Why didn't you tell me? You made me approach him!
I know, there's a UC inside.
It's not the Chum Foon-fei and not the Boss.
I bet it's the guy with a dark complexion.
Now you need my help because you find me useful.
No, I forgot to tell you.
I came to Bangkok to keep you in line.
Wait up...
Pick an outfit for a bug.
Do you understand?
Yes, pick something so we can plant a bug.
That's easy. Wait here.
Thanks! Thank you! Bye!
Well? Do I look like a model in a Japanese magazine?
What are you doing now?
You told me to pick an outfit to plant a bug.
The top underneath has inside pockets.
No one would know I'm carrying a bug.
I meant for you to pick a top to compensate Lok.
Then that's your problem.
I've been meaning to tell you,
you don't come right out to say what you mean.
I could interpret that as
you want me to get a nice outfit to go see Lok
and then wear a bug, right?
You intend to wear that and stick with him 24 x 7?
I'll pick something else.
Never mind. I'll do it.
The UC you're looking for is one of these four?
I'm not 100% sure.
Only these four are from Hong Kong.
This is just like the movie Overheard.
Lok is the only one without a bug.
If you set up the other three,
then why must I bug Lok?
We met in the last mission,
I can't go near him again.
I see.
Hand!
Hold this! What?
Change the button on the shoulder.
This is rather plain.
Don't you recognize it? It's the same style as the one you messed up.
Really? Let me get to work.
Are you sure? Of course!
Here! It's off. Do it again.
What?
Here! Too loose. Do it again.
Too loose?
It's perfect now, Cheuk Sir.
Do it again, you didn't tie it off nicely.
I didn't?
I don't really want you on this operation,
but I had no choice.
You can’t become a UC because you want to.
You need to have the ability.
If you don't make the cut,
you'll endanger yourself as well as other colleagues.
Let me do it.
No! I'll fix it until you're happy.
Not bad. I like the big aquarium.
Have a seat. Mr. Ngai wants you to wait here.
In there? How unusual!
We're not meeting in a coffee shop but the sauna room.
You're not joining me?
What is this? How interesting.
We're not meeting in a coffee shop.
You want to play games? Very well...
Might as well work up a sweat and detox.
Well? Aren't we meeting in here?
I'm ready.
I thought we're meeting here...
He's here, Mr. Ngai!
Mr- Ngai!
There you are. Come here.
You've been in the sauna room too long your legs are limp?
No. Nice view up here.
If you were ever in the army,
you'll learn to look beyond the crisis at hand.
You must keep a macroscopic perspective and set clear and definite goals.
When you face a crisis,
you must keep your head clear
to make more accurate decisions.
Chui 'I'm-tong, you're a smart man,
but that's not enough to work for me.
I need you to be tough.
The hour you spent in the sauna room,
I poured ice water on me out here in the wind.
I want you to understand
when I tell you to do something,
it doesn't mean I can't do it myself,
I just don't need to do it.
Chum Foon-hei skipped town and is now in Thailand.
Bring him back
and prove to me the kind of man you are.
Very well.
How many men do you need?
Just one.
