I count him braver who overcomes his desires
than him who conquers his enemies.
- Aristotle
Cheuk Hoi received my message.
He promised to bring Lai Shui-kuen's UCs to meet with me.
Smart! You found out Cheuk Hoi is looking for Lai Shui-kuen's UCs,
you also posed as one of them to draw him out.
To convince Cheuk Hoi it was the real UC who sent him the message,
I had to sacrifice one of our own to make it look real.
It's worth getting them all.
We'll soon know their identities.
What do you want me to do?
Need you ask?
I'll take care of them.
Good! What about the UC you found?
I'll take care of that.
How?
I...
You still haven't told me who it was.
You think you can hide it from me?
She's my girlfriend.
No wonder you don't want to tell me.
Madam, I want her alive.
After we get rid of Cheuk Hoi and his gang,
no one will stand in our way.
My girlfriend and I will go as far away from Hong Kong as we can.
I promise she won't pose a threat.
I'll do anything. That's all I want.
It's not too much to ask. Please?
OK, no problem.
Thank you, Madam!
Standby, everyone. We have 3 minutes.
When Cheuk Hoi shows up with his UCs,
wait for my command.
Cheuk Sir! Miss Mui?
Cherry?
You already know Mui.
Tin-tong from Cheung Hing;
Lok from Fook Wo.
Cherry, Yeung Wing, loan officer at Ling Chi Finance.
Hello, everyone.
Lai Sir likes to pick girls.
Cherry didn't send me the message in CIB code.
Someone posed as a UC to lure us into a trap.
Luckily Cherry contacted me in time,
or else we'd all be dead.
Who was the imposter?
CIP Chu Chi-bun of CIB.
Cancel the operation. Let's go.
When Ling Chi was under investigation because of the counterfeit banknotes,
my boyfriend, who is a cop, wanted me to quit.
But I have a mission to do
and we got into a fight and stopped talking to each other.
I went back to him hoping to patch things up,
but I realized he has changed.
He behaved strangely.
He cried in front of me.
He gave me expensive presents
that really had me worried.
Probably because of my UC instincts,
I went through his things to see what has been happening.
I found one-way e-tickets to Switzerland
for the two of us, leaving in 6 months.
I also found an old phone.
Cops have many informers,
an extra phone is not unusual.
Then I found the message he sent Cheuk Sir in CIB code.
He must have followed me
and found my logbook.
That's why he posed as Lai Sir's UC
to lure you all into a trap.
I'm still trying to digest everything.
I only know I had to alert Cheuk Sir right away.
He led the last operation that framed Fook Wo with blue ice.
He's also my protege.
He has been helping me,
but I have recently confirmed his defection.
Your protege must be brilliant.
He almost put us all out of business.
Thank God for Cherry.
Thanks for your help.
Don't mention it. We're Lai Sir's UCs.
Mui, I'm glad you're one of us.
I was worried I had to arrest you.
Now, I'm so relieved.
Cherry, turns out were co-workers on both fronts.
What was your mission at Ling Chi?
At first, Lai Sir wanted me to help IIO
find out if cops were in debt.
When Ngai Tak-shun came back,
he wanted me to see
if there was anyone on the take.
Soon after I received the order,
Lai Sir was killed before he gave me details.
So I carried on with the investigation
and only found out what has transpired after I spoke to Cheuk Sir.
What have you found out?
I've been monitoring Ling Chis account.
Many accounts keep applying for cash loans every month via ATM.
Though they use different account names,
the same account simultaneously paid back all the loans.
I suspect this is how Cheung Hing pays the dirty cops.
Here's everything I have.
I'll let you follow up.
Yes, Sir!
Cherry, I want a word in private.
Follow me! Yes, Sir!
Whatever you want to know, ask away.
Ben never introduced us.
How long have you two been dating?
Less than 6 months.
We met when he dropped his wallet in pursuit of a perp,
and I picked it up for him.
He was still a good cop then.
To me, Ben is a good cop.
He seemed to have gone through a lot over the past month or two.
He barely recognizes himself.
I know he didn't want this, he's struggling.
Mind if I ask you, do you love him?
I don't know if this is love.
I feel my heart aching for him.
I knew what he was like.
I feel so helpless seeing him like this.
I'm his girlfriend, but I can't do anything to help him.
I can't stand to see him go astray.
I know how you feel.
Because I was away from the Force during this time,
or else none of this would have happened.
I want him to turn back.
But you know how he is.
I dropped hints and openly reasoned with him
but he won't listen.
Ben is a perfectionist.
Since he couldn't be a perfect law enforcer,
he chose to be a perfect law breaker.
He must first accept he's not perfect,
before he'd stop cornering himself.
If those closest to him like you and I can’t persuade him,
perhaps until hes punished by the law before we can save him.
Cherry, you think Ben knows you tipped me off?
I really don't know.
What if he does?
You'll be in great danger.
Maybe you should make up an excuse and stay away for a while.
I want to be with him.
If he doesn't know, I can carry on the investigation.
This is the only way to help him.
Whoever he has become,
I don't believe he wants to hurt me.
Please be careful.
Cheuk Hoi and his UCs didn't show up.
He sent a message later saying he was being followed.
You think he saw through your plan?
I'm confident my plan was flawless.
Putting myself in his shoes,
he's known to be careful.
He won' take any chances if he senses any danger.
We should have confidence.
You don't leave loose ends, I trust you.
We should consider other possibilities.
Even if his no show is not because he feels unsafe,
I want to know more before I set up another meeting.
That's good, but let me remind you.
There's a limit to our patience with Cheuk Hoi and his UCs.
Don't make us wait too long.
You probably don't want your girlfriend to wait either.
Yes, Madam.
(Error! Insufficient funds!)
Chan Hei-nin?
(Luen Hing Industrial Building, 6/F, Unit B3-4, To Kwa Wan)
Mr. Chan?
What is it?
Are you Mr. Chan Hei-nin?
Wrong unit!
How dare you swagger in here uninvited?
The exhibition is open to public,
why can't I be here?
You should let me know you're coming.
But you didn't let me know before you made your move on us.
Us? Did you come on your own?
Or did someone send you?
I should be asking you that.
Explain why you took $50M from Ling Chi.
Calm down, Miss Sze. We're civilized people.
We should talk, there's no need for a gun.
Who are you? Who are you working for?
Scarlett, put down the gun.
Man is one of us.
If you don't want to play, you don't have to humor me.
You practically handed me the corner.
You still haven't told me about Man.
The rules of Othello are rather interesting.
As long as you still have pieces to play,
even if your pieces are besieged during the game,
you can still flip the pieces.
Man is a mole I planted within the organization a long time ago.
Before we started working with Mr. White?
She arranged for me to become a candidate.
Her function must be more than that.
Mr. White is not the only one in charge of the organization's Asia business.
There's someone else called Johnny.
They appear to be partners,
when in fact they're competitors.
From day one, Mr. White is not my intended partner.
You wanted Johnny?
Shakespeare's Othello accuses his wife of adultery
and kills her with his own hands.
Without our help, what will the organization do to Mr. White?
You're helping Johnny get rid of Mr. White?
Johnny promised to put me
in charge of Asia if I succeed.
Othello is also a board game with black and white pieces.
In the play, a black general fights with a white man's wife.
The tragedy is brought about by Othello's ensign Iago.
You think I'm Iago?
Your ultimate target is to take over the money laundering organization?
Let's play another game.
French toast requires a good ratio of syrup and butter.
It's spongy with the buttery taste,
just like eating wagyu beef.
Don't exaggerate. You're not filming a food program.
You don't believe me? Try one bite.
You need something to go with your drink.
Losing weight is every woman's lifetime goal.
Yes, but for someone like you,
at you age, your metabolism slows down.
You'll never lose any weight.
Just like you must face menopause.
Chui 'I'm-tong, why are you still alive?
You always order rice with BBQ pork and tofu
but today, you're having iced lemon tea.
You're used to being the only female,
but now a cherry came from nowhere,
a prune like you finally sense a crisis.
You must be full, you're not eating and won't shut up.
It's true, she's younger, prettier and juicier.
Brother Tin-tong, Mr. Ngai needs you.
Please come with me.
Can't you see I'm talking to Mui
and eating my French toast?
The oar is outside, you can blow me off,
but do you want to blow Mr. Ngai off?
I told you he can’t live without me.
Hey, you forgot something.
Brother Airplane, Chui Tin-tong is here.
Good, everyone is here.
Turn off your phones and hand them over.
What does Mr. Ngai want us to do?
You can’t tell us, Brother Airplane?
Standby and wait for Mr. Ngai's order.
Hey, give me a smoke.
I've been here an hour, I'm out.
What? You're kidding.
OK, Mr. Ngai just gave the order
to kill someone today.
We're going to take out a bloody cop called Cheuk Hoi.
Cheuk Sir, Ngai Tak-shun wants to kill you.
I have something to do.
Wait here for me. Don't go anywhere.
Tai-fai! Brother Airplane!
Yes?
Well? Did anyone act on my order after I left?
No. Can't tell which one is Cheuk Hoi's mole.
Are you sure you didn't miss anyone?
Any gestures from anyone that could be sending Morse code?
No! Where did Mr. Ngai hear about a mole among us?
I'll go back and test them.
Keep an eye on them. OK!
Brother Airplane!
Chui "I'm-tong!
Brother Airplane, there's nothing to see out there.
The sun is so bright, are your eyes tired?
Follow me. I want to talk to you.
Brother Airplane, if you killed me,
what will you tell Mr. Ngai?
This is your UC phone.
You used this to contact the cops.
You're setting me up.
Mr. Ngai wanted to find the mole.
Naturally I'll say I found out it was you.
As soon as you joined Cheung Hing,
you removed my brother Smokey,
and showed me no regard whatsoever.
I started working for Mr. Ngai in the U.S.
You have no right to be my equal.
I've been waiting for a chance like this.
I'll bring your body back and tell Mr. Ngai you're the mole.
Get ready for Heaven, Chui Tin-tong.
You're smart! Chui Tin-tong is the mole.
I can't believe you got it right by guessing
But there's something you didn't know,
I'm also a mole.
Great! Double the pleasure!
Both losers are cops.
Let's play a game.
We'll see who gets to die first.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe,
catch a tiger by the toe.
Chui 'I'm-tong, it's your lucky day!
Find a place to hide.
Come back!
Airplane...
How is he?
He's dead!
What? No way!
The doctor said the fatal blow is the nail at the back Airplane's head.
Tin-tong, tell me what happened.
Airplane asked me to follow him,
so we can discuss how to ice Cheuk Hoi.
We went to a different floor.
Lok Siu-fung came from nowhere and ambushed us.
He kicked Airplane real hard,
and knocked him against the wall.
When he didn't move, we saw the nail at the back of his head.
Lok Siu-fung tried to kill me too,
Luckily Tai-fai and the others showed up.
We heard fighting downstairs,
so I brought the boys down.
Lok Siu-fung split as soon as he saw us.
We went after him, but he got away.
Fine! Say no more!
Mr. Ngai, shall we get our revenge?
I can lead the team.
First, let's focus on Airplane's funeral.
I want to give him a grand burial.
I don't want a life for a life.
I want to bury Fook Wo with Airplane.
There will be no more Chum Foon-hei
and no more Fook Wo.
Have you heard? Victor wants to kill you.
Is this what you want to tell me?
You knew? How can you be so relaxed?
Ngai Tak-shun won't kill me.
Don't underestimate Victor.
He's good for his word.
He's vicious enough to kill without blinking.
He won't show you any mercy.
I know he's good for his word.
But not this time.
He let the word out for a different reason.
Why are you so sure?
Because I have something he wants.
He hates me and wants me dead.
But before he gets what he wants,
he'll let me live.
I guess I fussed over nothing.
Not really. You were concerned about me.
Thank you, Scarlett.
I only have a few friends. You're one of them.
Can I help you?
I want to borrow money.
Hello, I'm Cherry. I'm a loan officer.
May I have your name? How can I help you?
I'm Miss Tang, I saw on TV
I can borrow money without providing any supporting documents.
Our easy money plan? You can take a look...
Sure!
How much do you want to borrow?
$50K.
I need some basic information.
Are you working? No!
Do you have a loan somewhere else? No!
I'll need to see your I.D. card.
Please fill in your personal information and phone number.
Miss Tang, here's your I.D. card.
Thanks. Where's the $50K? I want cash.
Sorry, Miss Tang. because you're unemployed
and you have a poor credit history,
we're unable to approve your loan.
What do you mean?
Your ad says no documentation required.
I came all the way out here to be rejected?
I'll sue you for breach of advertising regulations.
It's clearly stated in our terms,
the applicant must have a job.
Just put it down I'm employed.
But just told me you're not working.
You set me up!
Precisely because I have no income, I need to borrow money.
If I were rich and can support myself,
why would I bother to come here?
Miss Tang, please calm down.
Calm down? Can you calm down if you have no money and can't take out a loan?
Miss Tang, if you keep this up, I must ask you to leave.
What? I will badmouth you.
Hey, don't walk away from me.
Call security.
I already did.
Miss, please calm down. We can't help you.
Please leave.
I don't care, she owes me an explanation.
She already made it very clear.
Without proof of income, we can't help you.
This is none of your business.
Madam, please come with me.
Touch me and I'll scream!
I didn't touch you. Please cooperate.
I'm really going to scream, help...
If you won't cooperate, we'll call the cops.
What's going on?
Mui? Auntie Lan?
Have a seat. What are you doing here?
You work here?
I'm the manager.
Brilliant, if you're the manager,
if you don't give your mom a loan,
you're an unfilial daughter.
If you didn't make such a racket out there,
I didn't even know you're here.
You have not answered my question.
Why are you here for a loan?
Your Uncle Chin is in the hospital.
He needs $50K for his treatment.
Why didn't you call me?
Their interest rate is very high.
When I got together with Uncle Chin,
I didn't tell him I had a child,
and made you hide from us.
I'm too embarrassed to borrow from you.
It has been 5 years since I last saw you.
That long? Whatever...
Though I have never met Uncle Chin,
he took care of you and I won't stand by and do nothing.
I'll personally loan you $60K.
Really?
Such a good girl. Let me thank you for Uncle Chin.
Why don't you loan me $80K, it's more auspicious.
Your Uncle Chin will get well sooner.
I invited you all here
so you can meet everyone.
In case you run into each other, you'll know we're on the same side.
Cheuk Sir, cut the crap and let's have a drink.
Grade schoolers can drink these days?
Cheuk Sir, child labor is illegal.
You're the grade schooler.
Don't underestimate her. She's probably older than you.
Watch your mouth, Cheuk Sir!
What don't you introduce yourselves?
I'm Jazz.
Cherry.
Tin-tong.
Mui.
Screwdriver.
Lok.
Entertainment City.
Like Screwdriver said, let's have a drink
and you'll get to know each other better.
Come on, cheers! Cheers!
Since we're all family,
Cheuk Sir, Ngai Tak-shun ordered a hit on you.
Shouldn't you be more prepared?
Exactly! I don't mean to be a spoil sport.
In the end, though it was an exercise to catch the mole.
It doesn't mean he won't kill you.
Relax! I know what I'm doing.
Ngai Tak-shun is bent on finding the mole.
You two must be very careful.
Lok, he's blaming you for Airplane's death.
He'll come after you too.
I know.
OK, enough about work.
Let's start on social chit chat.
UC is a dangerous profession,
I think you should take out an insurance policy.
I have a proposal for you to look at.
Policies can't stop bullets.
Nothing is better than money in your pocket.
You should consider our loans.
Cherry, I'll give you an excellent year-end appraisal.
Thanks, Mui!
Guys...
No work.
Lok, Cheuk Sir said you're an ace biker.
I'm OK.
Can you take me for a spin later?
No problem! Great!
Hey, college grad, I'm a great biker too.
You want to ride with me?
Who's talking to you?
Cheuk Sir called a gathering.
This is not speed dating.
But it does look like Table for 8.
You're destined to be a pair. Mui...
I have a boyfriend.
Don't look at me like that, I'm not gay.
UCs have no Police support.
The civilian CIB will come in handy.
What can this college grad do?
Don't underestimate her.
Screwdriver, show them.
Yes, Cheuk Sir! Master, you're back, I missed you.
Melting...
She can pose as anybody and has a way with guys.
I'm good with machines.
I can build anything from scratch,
or take apart anything. No problem!
I don't mean to scare you.
What I do best is make bombs and take them apart.
Last time...
Wish we had met him then.
But I'm nothing compared to Jazz.
He can sound like anyone and sing too.
Who do you want me to imitate?
Not today.
Sing for us in your own voice.
Sure, but let me just do this...
If I could hate you with all my heart
I had to run from you
Can't tell if I want to let go of you or miss you
No one is sad as I am
Bravo... He sucks...
I'll let you work on your tan.
Chui fin-tong! Come here...hey!
Are you made of paper?
I'm an old man.
I took a beating from Airplane, the ace bouncer.
You hated me. Is this poisoned?
Thank you!
I hated you and gave you hell, but you took it gracefully.
As a UC, I was too naive.
Things just happen when you least expect it.
You're forced to beat up on someone as hard as you can.
Though I didn't intend to kill anyone,
I can't control the outcome.
I didn't intend to kill Airplane,
but he was dead just the same.
Just like you didn't mean to kill Pak-key,
but he was dead.
That was a century ago. Forget it.
I was wrong about you. Thank you.
Don't thank me or apologize again.
It's all in here...
Mr. Victor, you need to explain to me.
Yesterday was the deadline,
why didn't I see the money in the account?
It's just a technical issue.
All our client must be on time, efficient and clean.
Can you handle the amount?
If you can't, there's a queue out there waiting to take your place.
Come on, Mr. White! Will you relax?
The money is clean and ready.
I kept the money for a reason.
It's all about being safe.
Safe? Exactly which part is not safe?
Jesus! Relax! Come on, Mr. White.
Here, have a cigar.
I had it specially prepared for you.
Jesus!
