The only real prison is fear,
and the only real freedom
freedom from fear.
- Aung San Suu Kyi
Chum Foon-hei?
Run, Turkey!
Chum Foon-hei, I did what you wanted me to.
Let my wife and son go.
You did a good job. Thank you!
Chai Fing...
In the container downstairs.
Well? Still clueless?
You know Turkey is stingy.
He wouldn't give you $100 more, let alone triple the offer.
When he called you,
a gun was pointing at his head, just like you.
How did you know Turkey...
Lok! That traitor!
He's working for me all along.
I let him stay until this deal.
You called the cops.
Chum Foon-hei,
I hooked you up with Wong Sir,
now you sent the cops after me?
I dare you to take me on without a gun.
Trying to bully this old geezer?
No thanks. I don't need a gun.
Why waste a bullet?
Chai Fing...
you don't care if I called the cops.
If I had Ghost and Ginger arrested,
why did I ask Turkey to save you?
No...let me go!
I meant to send you to jail.
But you tried to kill us.
Lok is still lying in the hospital.
You have gone too far.
Don't you know a gunman always gets shot?
Since you like counterfeit banknotes...
No! Yes!
No! They're all yours.
Chai Fing, get to work. No...
Lift his head!
Calm down! It's me.
Cheuk Sir!
At least you know you're being followed.
Can I see him now?
Follow me.
Lok! Let me see...you OK?
Have you recovered? You're running around.
Almost.
Let me see your hands.
My hands are fine.
Your hands are fine?
Then why didn't you answer my text messages?
Don't you know I'm worried about you?
You sent those?
I received gibberish.
I thought it was a virus or someone hacked into your phone.
Don't you recognize our code?
I was just kidding.
I was being operated on, I don't have time to decode.
You have your own code now?
You said it's dangerous for us to be in Cheung Hing and Fook Wo.
No one must know we're in contact.
So we made up our own code.
I can't know about it?
Cheuk Sir, did you tell her to dress like this?
How do I look?
You can’t fault her.
I've been watching her for a few days.
She waited till now to sneak inside the hospital
and is sensible enough to dress up.
You can too.
You'll look nice posing as a doctor.
Chui 'I'm-tong may suspect something if he caught you visiting Lok.
Chui 'I'm-tong suspects you?
Why are you here?
I met with Mui a few days ago.
Chui 'I'm-tong followed her to the war game site.
Luckily he didn't see me.
I made up an excuse and got rid of him.
He seemed to have bought it,
but there's more to him than we know.
I'll be careful.
We can’t go back to the war game site.
I'll find a new place.
Foon-hei took out Firecracker.
He regained control of Fook Wo.
He'll go after Cheung Hing.
You took a hit for the boss,
Brother Foon-hei will watch out for you.
You're moving up.
Not really. I'm still a minion.
There are things I have to do for the boss.
Victor! Hi, Scarlett.
How's the wound?
Healing. I'm fine.
I'm sorry I got you into this.
I volunteered to be your bodyguard.
Strictly speaking, I failed.
I should be apologizing.
How are things?
Everything is running without a hitch.
Mui has been most helpful after she took over as manager.
We should be able to meet Mr. White's target.
Good! Carry on.
Tell Mui I'll reward her accordingly.
I'll follow up, you should rest.
If getting shot will make you worry about me, then its worth it.
Thanks.
For what?
You got shot because you kept your promise and didn't shoot her.
I will always keep my promise to you.
You must have your reason not to shoot.
I just didn't expect you to work for MI-6.
Your past is none of my business.
I trust the current you.
Just tell me if you're worried about your enemy.
Whether it's one person or an organization,
I'll be able to sort things out for you.
You have done enough.
I don't wish to trouble you.
We'll let time take its course.
A lot happened lately,
I'm still a bit distressed.
Now that the money laundering business is running smoothly,
I want some down time to myself. May I?
I thought you wanted to leave.
Never crossed my mind.
You waited till I have almost recovered to take time off,
I guess you won't be leaving.
At least not right now.
Is that a yes?
You think of me first. How can I say no?
You must have forgotten again,
you're my partner, not my staff.
Telling me about your time off, you're being polite.
You can decide when to take time off.
As long as you promise your vacation will end,
then it can last as long as you like.
Miss Sze, back to Blue Moon?
Not today. Not for a while.
I told Mr. Ngai I'm going away.
I need time to myself.
I see. Where do you want to go?
Miss Sze, I checked.
No bugs, no hidden cameras.
Thank you.
I'm just doing my job.
For safety sake, I'll be next door.
I can be here right away if anything should happen.
OK. Thank you.
I'll let you get some rest.
Loki Loki
I want a word with Tat Q. Leave us alone.
That's against protocol.
Brother Foon-hei wanted us to watch him.
What do you expect us to tell him?
I'll watch him. Don't you trust me?
You took a hit for the Boss.
Of course we trust you.
Let's get out of Lok's way.
Let's go...
Are you alright?
Go away! Leave me alone.
They beat you up. How can I leave you alone?
Why did you do something so stupid?
Stupid? Brother Foon-hei would be dead if you hadn't interfered.
And I would have become the boss.
You're already my boss.
But I don't want to be Tat Q.
I want to be the boss of a gang.
I wanted people to know
I'm worthy of being your boss.
Why did you try to stop me? Why?
Why didn't you dodge?
You think I'm such a loser you don't have to?
I'm standing still because you're my boss.
Firecracker approached me first.
He went to you after I turned him down.
I'm just the second choice?
And I blew it just the same.
I don't understand.
Why do you think you'll get ahead after this?
Neither of us would. You know why?
A traitor will always be a traitor.
If you betray Brother Foon-hei today,
Firecracker will think you'll betray him tomorrow.
We're just pawns.
I've been nothing but a fool.
All bosses are alike.
Maybe you think it's awesome. But so what?
Brother Foon-hei lost his wife
and had to hide his son.
Back then, he took his buddy's dope.
Today, his buddy is after his gang.
That's how it works.
Someone is always going after someone else.
Those of us in the gang will come to no good end.
The higher you climb, the harder you fall.
We're not cut out for this.
Who wants to be the boss?
I may be your boss, but you're much smarter.
You don't have to be smart,
you just need to know how to pick your thugs.
Chai Fing would kill me if he sees me.
What should we do now?
I'll try to sort it out for you.
Come in.
Brother Foon-hei!
Lok, you have recovered!
Thanks for dropping me at the hospital.
Or else I wouldn't be alive today.
You didn't let me die,
I wouldn't let you die either.
Now we're even.
That depends on how you see what happened to Pak-key.
Fine! I'll ask you for another life.
Tat Q?
Yes.
Tat Q was gullible enough.
Out of benevolence, let him go.
He tried to kill Chai Fing, not me.
What should I tell Chai Fing?
I'll let Chai Fing stab me.
If once is not enough, stab me twice or more
Why? Is it worth it?
That's not the point.
I didn't ask myself if it's worth it when I stood between you and the knife.
I'm under him,
and that's what I must do for him.
The same goes for Pak-key, you and Tat Q.
Good! I like your loyalty.
You have it. What about you?
As your boss, I must watch over you.
You can have Tat Q.
Thank you, Brother Foon-hei.
I may let him go,
but I can't guarantee what others would do to him.
I won't put you on the spot.
I guarantee Tat Q won't show his face in Hong Kong within the year.
(Hong Kong <=> Mount Xiqiao)
One for Mount Xiqiao. $200.
Here, hold the ticket.
Can't believe I'm stuck waiting for the bus with these aunties.
Consider this a vacation.
Come back when everything dies down.
I always mess up whatever I do.
I finally act like a punk now that I'm on the run.
Lok, do you think I'm a loser?
At least you're alive.
I may be stupid,
but I know you must have spoken to Brother Foon-hei,
or Pd be dead by now.
That's because you're my boss.
You're a good brother, thanks.
Don't say that.
7:30 bus for Mount Xiqiao ready for boarding
I didn't pay you.
Forget it. It's just $200.
Consider that a red packet.
I'm no longer your boss from now on.
What? You'll always be my boss.
I'd rather be your equal and be your buddy.
Alright...
Lok, be careful and stay alive.
These are for you.
New"
I'm leaving! Don't cry!
I'll have loads of fun up there. Bye!
Bye!
Thank you. I'm full.
I should thank you.
For what?
For seeing Tat Q off.
We're members of Fook Wo,
There are risks involved for you to show up like that.
Not everything is about the gang.
I'm entitled to have friends from grade school.
It's normal for me to see him off when he's leaving.
But I don't really remember much about him.
Nothing, except we went to school together.
I don't remember until you brought it up.
If Tat Q heard what you said,
he'll be singing at the karaoke again.
I really don't know him well.
I only remember other kids calling him poo-poo boy.
Anybody could have belly troubles.
No one wanted to sit next to him, so I did.
I can't believe he still remembers.
He was still obsessed with you after 20 years.
It's a moment's feeling that made you fall for someone.
Tat Q is not bad.
He's dedicated and good looking.
Why did you ask me to say goodbye to him outside the bus?
You should have let us sit down and talk.
Maybe something will come out of it.
Of course not!
I must keep you apart.
Why? You don't want that?
You're Tat Q's goddess.
If he knew the real you,
you'll bust his bubbles.
Take a look at you.
A goddess must be adored from afar.
Are you implying I'm an embarrassment?
Goddess? Hey!
Goddess! What's Tat Q's number?
Goddess! Hey!
Miss Sze!
I dreamt of Laurena and Misale.
They were going to college, living a normal life.
They could have done better if it hadn't been for revenge.
It was their choice.
They had no choice.
They were born in the Golden Triangle.
It wasn't their choice to sell drugs.
They were innocent.
I destroyed their childhood
and denied them of their happiness.
In the end, two IO-year-olds are dead because of me.
Come here, I'll teach you a game.
Let's find 5 pebbles.
Toss one up and pick one up.
Then toss again and pick up two.
Keep picking up more.
The 5 UCs who worked for me used to play this game.
But they're dead now.
Before I left the Force,
I had a mission in Thailand.
The mission was a success
and we were gathered at our usual meeting place.
There was an explosion
and all my UCs were blown to bits.
Nothing left of them except their ashes.
You think I'm luckier?
I don't know what it feels like to be dead.
But the living must face a lifetime of guilt and pain.
Just like you and me.
We sent out UCs to change the world.
But to them, it's the beginning of a nightmare.
That's why you quit?
The sentence I gave myself is to go on living with my guilt.
I thought being a UC is a lonely business
because nobody would understand.
I'm glad I met you.
Miss Sze, if you don't mind, I'd like to say something.
We're friends. Go ahead.
Listen to me, stay away from Ngai Tak-shun.
Why?
We both know what he's doing is illegal.
What is illegal?
Papa was fair and kind but he deserved to die.
I betrayed him and received a commendation.
Now you're being perverse.
I know what the law is.
It is the lowest standard of morality.
But law enforcers don't even have basic morality.
What's the big deal about breaking the law?
Nothing in this world is absolutely right or wrong.
It's hard to differentiate,
but you don't have to go astray on purpose.
Those girls couldn't live a normal life,
but you still can.
Mui, I'll be away with Miss Sze for a few days.
We won't be coming back to Blue Moon.
I set a bug in the VIP room.
To be safe, remove it.
Wait! What?
What's that noise?
Like a microphone that's not working.
Mui!
What's in your bag?
Girl stuff. Need you ask? Bye!
What are you doing?
Mind if I take a look?
Of course! Are you crazy?
You can’t look inside a woman's bag.
What's there to see?
New"
Brother Tai-fai!
What are you doing? Give that back!
What's that noise?
Hey! Hey!
A napkin!
Hey!
Sorry, you know this sort of thing is a jinx for us.
It brings back luck when you touch it.
You play the stock market for Mr. Ngai.
You should do fine.
What's that noise?
Just look at this ajumma.
She's definitely using a kimchi phone.
Toss it before it explodes.
Hey!
Save it for your bleeding nose.
Save it for your bleeding nose, kid!
Chui 'I'm-tong, come with me. We need to talk
Why are we here? You want us to...
I just did you a favor,
you should thank me and not try to strangle me.
Why did you help me?
Help you with what?
I was just trying to woo you.
Hands off...I can't breathe. Hey...
Are you Lai Sir's UC assigned to infiltrate Cheung Hing?
Be careful next time you meet with your handler.
You can get yourself killed.
Well? Don't we make a nice couple?
Yes, I'm a UC.
You have no idea how long we've been looking for you.
You followed me because you wanted to know if I'm a UC.
Why didn't you tell me?
I told you from day one,
I'm destined to be your man.
Come!
What? Can't decide if you want to reject me?
Taking the initiate now? Not my cup of tea.
I want you to meet someone. Come on.
Your parents? I'm not ready.
Hurry UP!
How was your nap?
I stopped having dreams.
That's good.
Miss Sze, I need to be away for a few days.
Go on. I want to be alone and I'll manage.
Call me if you need anything.
Don't worry, I'm always on standby.
You're worrying.
I still have your GPS tracker.
This is for you.
Why give me so much food?
You know dopamine?
A substance in the brain that mediates pleasure.
It's a happy substance.
Everything here will produce dopamine.
One's happiness can be simple.
Eat well, sleep well, exercise, date someone
A simple and healthy life can make you happy
Enjoy!
Cheuk Sir!
You're in a leisurely mood.
Getting to know Mother Nature?
Must be nice going on vacation with Miss Sze
I only bought this book.
What are the names of the other three?
Find Inside Happiness, Camping in Cheung Chau, The History of Hing Sing.
I don't know if they're any good.
I only read pornography.
You're the UC who got Lai Sir's order to infiltrate Cheung Hing.
Do you know the other UCs?
Check the Police file.
Why are you asking me?
No one contacted me since Lai Sir died.
You were fired and you quit.
I doubt if you're my new handler.
Lai Sir deleted all the UC files in the system.
No one can prove you're a UC.
What does that mean?
Lai Sir told me about a dirty cop on the Force before he died.
I think he deleted the files to protect the UCs.
The dirty copy killed Lai Sir?
I have no proof, but I believe so.
I will look into his death.
Now that we found you, we'll know the truth after we find the other UCs.
Can you tell me the specifics of Lai Sir's assignment?
His order was "Get Inside Cheung Hing".
He was killed before I could ask him.
While you were in Cheung Hing, did you spot a dirty cop?
Not really.
Last time you said the blue ice had an odd smell.
It was the smell of the evidence room.
The dirty cop helped Cheung Hing swap the blue ice.
Cops don't have much sense of justice.
I'm not surprised there's a dirty cop.
At least I'm not alone inside Cheung Hing.
We must look out for each other.
We'll catch the dirty cop and find the UC.
Are there any other UCs?
No, just Mui.
And you.
(Dinner is ready.)
(I'm coming)
Time for a pick up?
I'm in a hurry.
Don't look at me like that.
Don't miss me either.
I thought his horsing around was an act.
But he's still acting like this after we confirmed is identity.
All UCs are posing as someone else.
Shall we call a meeting?
No. Don't let Lok know we found Chui "I'm-tong.
Why? You didn't seem to want me to tell Tin-tong about Lok.
Chui 'fin-tong is partially responsible for Pak-keys death.
Lok treats him like the enemy.
Better wait and see.
You're following him because you want to see him?
I'm not trying to see him.
I'm really tailing him. It's also not the first time.
Why? He's one of ours. Why follow him?
I tried to call him.
Either there was no answer or the line was busy.
I used the CIB code and he didn't respond.
That's odd. Maybe he was working.
He goes bar-hopping every night.
How inconvenient is that?
You don't trust him?
The way he spends money on booze and women
is nothing like how a UC should behave.
I know that's how he is.
He runs a night club,
he must act accordingly.
I know now a UC must dress and act the part.
That's why I dress for the part of Miss Mui.
A UC may do something borderline,
but never steps out of line.
If you can't pull away, you'll become the person you're pretending to be.
That's out of line.
Chui 'I'm-tong saved my neck before.
If he has defected, he'll blow our cover.
I followed him to find out if he has defected.
I hope the answer won't disappoint me.
He went to see Lai Sir.
What is he burning? His warrant card?
