He who fights with monsters might take care
lest he thereby become a monster.
And if you gaze for long into an abyss,
the abyss gazes also into you.
- Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Push her off!
Wait!
Pak-key, I started the trouble. It's not her fault.
You'll have trouble if you push her off.
Then what?
You'll do it? Seared?
Scared or not, I'll do it.
Brother Foon-hei!
See? He'll do it even if he's soared.
I get soared too. What's the big deal?
If you think something is worth doing,
do it at all cost.
If you think something is beneath you,
don't do it.
Brother Foon-hei, I gave you my word I'll protect you.
Thanks!
Cheuk Sir, our carry-on allowance is only 7kg?
I don't think that's enough.
Lok should have nothing to carry. I'll use his quota.
Why do you have so much stuff?
Souvenirs. It's my first business trip.
Get rid of them.
What? Why?
You're a UC,
if you bring them back, you'll be announcing to the world.
Lok, are you at the airport already?
Cheuk Sir, I can't go back with you.
Loki
Honey, I won't forget.
You wanted me to smile more.
I will. I'll always wear a smile.
I'm taking you to see Chui Tin-tong.
Is this Pak-key's idea?
He's too high on loyalty to do this.
Sorry, I can’t die yet.
What's going on?
Boss, I don't care if you beat me up.
For the Gang and for the boys,
I must hand over Chum Foon-hei.
Listen to yourself!
You want me to betray my brother?
I made a name in Chinatown because I value the code of brotherhood.
If I gave my word to protect Foon-hei
then turn around and sell him for personal gain,
I would have ruined my reputation.
How can I carry on?
Without the goods, there'll be a price tag on your head.
Forget Chinatown, they'll take you out no matter where you go.
You'd rather die to protect your reputation?
I can't believe you're so stupid.
If I got killed over this, people may think I deserved it.
But I can stick to my principles.
If I hand over Foon-hei today,
I can turn you in tomorrow.
Would you work for someone like that?
I started working for you when I was in my teens.
Today, I can’t watch you die and do nothing.
Do you know the meaning of unconditional almsgiving?
It's easy to give $10 to someone when you have $100.
But it's rare when you only have $10.
The more we possess, the more we're afraid of losing.
Just think, we started with nothing,
we can easily start over again.
Don't worry, I'll be fine.
Not only will I protect Foon-hei,
I also want to tell Chui Tin-tong I'm not a pushover.
Brother Foon-hei, come with me.
Don't worry, I won't hand you over to them.
I'll keep you and my goods.
Let me go with you.
No, I can manage. Stay here.
Why are we following Pak-key?
Drive! They're gone.
Hold on.
Loki
Cheuk Sir?
Get in. We're going home.
I told you I'm not going.
You can’t help Pak-key by staying here.
You don't know what's going on.
Never forget you're a UC.
I know, but I also work for Pak-key.
No, you're pretending to work for him.
A UC must know when to cut himself loose.
I would have arrested him if I had the evidence.
I can't watch him kill himself.
What are you doing? Hey...
I'm taking you home!
Are you crazy?
Let's go!
We do the swap here?
Chui 'I'm-tong won't let me bring anyone.
Sink or swim, just the two of us?
Don't you want to know what will happen?
You would have told me if I needed to know.
My life is in your hands, do as you wish.
We're here. What now?
See that 7-seater?
Get in, follow the GPS.
Raise your hands!
Sir, he has a gun.
Sir, there's a gun.
Sir, we found dope.
Move!
Move it! Hurry!
I can't go to jail. I have things to do.
You won't. You'll get the death sentence.
I can't die!
Right here?
You said your life is in my hands.
I'm so sorry. I have my orders.
The oar and your things are over there.
Thank you.
Thank you. Let's go.
What happened?
They work for me.
The minute Chui Tin-tong called the cops,
I called for backup.
You should have told me.
Chui 'I'm-tong is greedy. He took half.
He won't unload the goods so easily.
Still scared?
I'll make you crocodile soup when we get back.
Let me go!
Stop it or you'll break your hand.
Don't forget you're a Police officer.
Hang onto the key, don't be soft.
I'll kill you if anything happens to Pak-key
Turn...hurry!
Don't rock...l feel dizzy!
Give him two packs.
Thank you!
Better tell Lok we're safe.
Pak-key is calling, let me answer it.
Give me the phone.
Cheuk Sir, it's just a phone call.
I told you the bottom line is to bring you home safely.
Turn on the speaker.
Hello, Boss?
Lok, it's me.
Foon-hei is safe, I got half the goods. Happy now?
Guan Yu was looking out for you.
I'm a Buddhist. Let's have BBQ and celebrate.
Come on over.
Not right now, Boss.
Why? You're mad at me?
Don't be such a sissy. Hurry over.
I'm 5 minutes from our gas station.
I'll tell them to get the grill ready.
Boss!
Hello? Something happened to Pak-key.
Let me go, I must go find him.
I must take you back to Hong Kong.
Let me go!
You're the rookie, right?
Take a good look at the man who sent us out in the field.
See how pathetic a UC can be.
Pak-key and I went through thick and thin together.
He even took the knife for me.
You don't give a darn as long as you close your case.
The handler can put a UC in harm's way,
but a UC must always follow orders.
We're expected to be ingrates and traitors.
Did you let him go?
Yes!
Why did you do it?
I don't want him to have regrets,
and be sorry he was a UC.
I don't want to regret being a UC, sir!
Pak-key...
He's dead, just like that?
Boss. ..come out!
Where's Foon-hei?
He took the goods.
You were right to trust me.
But I was wrong to trust Foon-hei.
You must still have faith in the code of brotherhood.
I know Leung Bing was not the mole.
If there was one, I hope it was you.
Boss...
I believe in Buddha, not Guan...
Boss...
Pak-key, I'll pay you back in my next life.
Scarlett, where have you been?
You disappeared for a few days.
Did something happen?
We were so worried about you.
Mr. Ngai was looking for you.
He went through your desk
and asked Cherry a lot of questions about you.
Honestly, did you piss off the boss?
Scarlett, come with me.
Are you involved in poaching client?
I wasn't involved. I masterminded it.
You got me in so much trouble.
Mr. Ngai said you stole our clients
and thought I was in on it with you.
He had me beaten up.
Call him now. Do it.
This is Scarlett. I want to see you.
I have an appointment with Mr. Ngai.
No wonder I didn't catch it.
It's not your fault.
Try this. It's a '92 from France. Sit.
This winery is famous for its low output.
Money alone can’t buy their wine.
I don't like things that can be bought.
I took 37 clients over the past year
and made $8.2M.
The money is here, plus interest.
Take it and let me off the hook.
You already got away,
why did you come back?
I know you'll find me no matter where I go.
You think I'll spare you?
At least I'll have a 50% chance.
I don't want the money.
But I want you to do something for me.
You wanted to meet here,
I take it you want me to run it?
You know why?
Because of my ability to make money.
You want me to use this joint to loan out money?
Correct.
I can help you, but I won't be under you.
I'll be your partner.
Consider the money my investment.
You're welcome.
Do I have the chance to drop my partner off?
I can't possibly turn down a ride in such a fancy car.
Please!
Can I take it for a spin?
Sure!
Must be exciting to drive a car like this.
You're quite a driver.
That's it? Don't you want to drive it longer?
I won't be able to sleep tonight.
I'll take a taxi home. Thank you.
Kuen, we really should celebrate.
Look who's here.
Lai Sir, it's Mui. I can't learn from you anymore.
But I'll do my best to learn from Cheuk Sir.
We found your UC in Thailand and brought him home.
Lai Sir, long time no see.
Pak-key's Gang is history.
Though I couldn't arrest him,
at least I'm home.
Before you died, you told me about a dirty cop.
Don't worry, Cheuk Sir, Mui and I will find him.
Don't worry, Kuen.
I'll bring in all your UCs.
No one has touched anything after Lai Sir died.
The Crime Unit was here, but they reopened it.
What are we looking for that'll tell us how to contact the UC?
Let's split up and look for clues.
Cheuk Sir, did the Crime Unit take away everything?
Did you check the mailbox?
Yes. I pulled out all the letters.
These were delivered lately.
The Crime Unit probably hasn't seen them.
Let's take a look...
Credit card statement, utility bills, nothing special.
(Get to Know Nature, Find Inside Happiness,
Camping in Cheung Chau, The History of Hing Sing)
Lai Sir borrowed some books and never returned them.
Of course. He was dead before the due date.
We finally have a clue.
We do?
Lai Sir put a UC inside Cheung Hing.
What? Why?
Read it diagonally.
(Get Inside Cheung Hing)
Get...Inside...Cheung...Hing
The UC should have Lai Sir's library card and password.
Upon login, we'll know Lai Sir's instruction
We must find the UC inside Cheung Hing.
I told you to bring me Chum Foon-hei, where is he?
I'm not that far off, Mr. Ngai.
I loaded the car with dope and called the cops.
But he got himself out.
He kept the goods and Chum Foon-hei.
But then someone killed Pak-key
and Chum Foon-hei disappeared.
I bet they went against each other.
Word has it Cheung Hing ordered the hit.
Sorry, Mr. Ngai. I didn't do my job.
Even if I didn't win, I came in second.
The dope is worth $100M.
I risked my life for it.
I'm not interested in the process.
I care only about the result.
You're lucky someone appreciates your talent
Between a has-been gangster and $100M worth of goods, I'd take the latter.
He was in possession of so much dope and didn't run off,
either he's loyal to you
or he's good at improvising, like me.
Killing and fighting may not be your cup of tea,
but you have a good head for business.
Someone like you is best suited to run this club for me.
Great! Right down my alley.
From now on, you report to Scarlett.
What about Chum Foon-hei?
Well, he'll eventually come back.
We'll deal with him later.
This is good stuff at a cheap price.
Do you have anything to do with the Good Luck Gang?
Didn't you hear? Cheung Hung was behind it.
Count it.
Um Hug,!
Police! Raise your hands!
Don't move!
Run!
Go!
The goods...
Police! Freeze! Sit down!
What is it, officer?
We suspect you of...eating without us.
Iran a few laps and was hungry. Come on...
Brother Foon-hei, your money!
And the goods!
Chai Fing! Thanks for your trouble. Sit...
No trouble at all! Without you, we won't have the money.
Foon-hei, how was the act?
Superb! Even better than Andy Lau.
We were cops, we knew how to behave.
Like me, they used to be cops.
They were kicked off the Force.
Ghost and Ginger over money
one gambled, the other lost money in investments.
As for Firecracker...
I beat up an inmate.
He deserved it.
I know we can’t turn back the clock. That's why I must cut you in on this deal.
Chai Fing, we'll get rich together.
Thank you, Brother Foon-hei!
Come on...
I'll set up more deals like this.
We can soon start our own gang.
Here...have a drink.
Cheers! Cheers!
The drink is on me, help yourself!
Brother Tin-tong...
Look, it's you!
Are you bored? How do we look?
This club is not like any other.
Pull up your top.
Put on your lipstick and comb your hair!
I want elegance, OK?
He's talking about you.
I'm talking about all of you!
Go freshen up in the bathroom.
Go...
He means you! Hurry up!
Have a good time! OK!
Stop! Your scarf is crooked. Fix it!
Yes, Miss Sze!
Well? Is the signal clear?
Walk around and let us see the club.
Lai Sir gave the order to infiltrate Cheung Hing before he died.
So the UC should be new to Cheung Hing.
This is Cheung Hing's new joint,
we should find what we want inside.
Bar keep, two dry Martinis, one gin tonic.
Not bad!
Mr- Ngai!
Looks like I found the right partner.
You have nothing to worry about with Tin-tong around.
Don't worry, Mr. Ngai.
I'll help Miss Sze with the club.
Good! Will you only entertain your other guests?
This way.
Too bad they only want waitresses, or I would have gone in.
Let's go!
What happened?
I dropped the button.
I don't know where it is.
Calm down. It should be in front of you.
In front? Sorry...Carry on!
Thank you!
Cheers! Cheers!
Airplane, you don't like your drink?
No problem. I'll fix you something else.
Lok?
He came to rescue you.
Let's go check it out!
Can you see?
Airplane...
He started a brawl in your club.
What should we do with him?
Carry on.
Congratulations...
I'm so sorry, Victor!
I told one of my boys to bring you a gift for your grand opening.
But I forgot he has a bone to pick with your boy.
We didn't bring the gift and messed up your club.
I'm so sorry. Can you let him go?
