Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
- Epicurean Paradox
Victor, looking at you now,
I can't tell you just killed someone.
Can you tell from my look?
At least there's a smell. But you don't.
If I can’t do something so simple,
I don't deserve your trust, Johnny.
Can I see your hands?
A murder weapon that no metal detector can detect,
can kill someone in a few seconds.
I won't expect less from an ex-Jarhead.
You flatter me.
Probably because I understood
to achieve something major does not depend on your ability,
but whether you have support.
I set this up for so long,
while I caught Mr. White off guard,
I helped you remove a thorn in your flesh.
I think it's time you return my favor.
Don't worry, I'm working on it.
Take out!
Help yourself.
Let's eat.
This is the disk from the security company?
Cherry found something fishy with these 10 accounts.
Based on the time of the withdrawal,
I asked the security company to pull the footage.
These accounts withdraw money from the ATM every month,
you must have 60 disks.
60 hours in 60 disks.
Identify the person who made the withdrawal,
and capture the image from the footage.
How many have you seen?
1..2..3..4..5.. 5 disks since 9 o'clock.
We still don't know if they were cops.
Thanks.
Finish eating before you get back to work.
No, even if I don't go to the toilet,
I'll be up all night doing this.
Maybe not. I'll give you a hand after we finish eating.
That should save you a few hours.
Seriously?
I'll help you, don't worry.
Great!
Cheuk Sir, the footage is from the CCTV of the ATM.
You can barely see the 10 people who withdrew money
from the problematic accounts Cherry uncovered.
Thanks, Mui!
You're quick.
She must have stayed up all night.
You're not getting any younger.
You'll soon need reading glasses.
Yes, I need reading glasses.
I was afraid I'd miss something,
Lok was with me all night last night to screen shot by shot.
We didn't miss anything.
Your effort won't go to waste.
I'll follow up on these 10 people
and see if they're connected to the dirty cops.
Did Chu Chi-bun try to contact you again posing as a UC?
Last time I told him I was being followed and refused to meet.
He didn't try to make contact again.
Cherry, anything on your end?
I still don't know if he realized I tipped you off.
We still go out and go to his place like we usually do.
He didn't behave any differently towards me.
In fact, he was nicer than before.
If he's sweet to you and you're onto him,
it must have been hard on you.
No, he knew I'm the UC
and he didn't behave differently.
I almost forgot he has defected.
Don't trust a man.
He'd sell you to the devil.
I'll be fine. I'm still sensible.
I know I'm doing this for his own good.
It's still worth it even if we have to break up in the end.
I'll try my best while he's still sweet to me
and report to you as soon as I find anything.
I'll be waiting.
We'll stay in touch.
Lok, I'll hitch a ride with you.
I shouldn't have gone up to your office the other night.
For everyone at Cheung Hing, I killed Airplane.
You'll be in danger if anyone saw us. Bye!
We're in the same gang. You can ride with me.
I'll take the minibus.
There are no minibuses out here.
I told you there are no minibuses.
Have you seen one flat like the Batmobile?
Well? Still want to take a minibus?
I want to eat something.
Like what?
Sushi. No, I want hotpot.
Korean is not bad either.
I never had Indian food before.
I also want fishballs and rice noodles
And Hainan chicken...
We'll have buffet.
Who is it?
Mui? Auntie Lan?
You know I always win at mahjong.
But my luck ran out today.
I'm at a mahjong school and didn't bring enough money.
Can you bail me out?
What the hell?
What's wrong?
Can you drop me at the ATM?
Let's go.
She's here, Boss!
Mui!
You're the daughter?
$50K, count it.
That was before. After she called you,
she offered to play one more hand hoping to win back everything,
but I cleaned her out. Now, it's $100K.
How could you? I don't have that much money.
You work for a finance company.
Yes, but I don't own it.
Even finance companies can’t print money.
Save your quarrel for later. Clear up your debt now.
The bank is closed. I can’t withdraw that much from the ATM.
Let her go and I'll pay you tomorrow.
Are you crazy? She's not going anywhere.
Don't gamble if you don't have money.
You want your Mom like this?
Let go of her!
Hold on...don't bully them because you outnumber them
Who the hell are you? Are you paying?
Brother Fat Wan of Luen Wo Sing calls the shots around here?
Don't mess around if you knew.
Brother Fat Wan is my cousin.
I have given him some business lately.
You made a fortune from selling blue ice for me.
You're with Cheung Hing?
I'm Chui Tin-tong.
You're Brother Tin-tong?
You want to see my I.D.?
Of course not! Let her go!
You're the best, Brother Tin-tong.
Since she's your friend, you can bring the money in 3 days.
What did you say? I didn't hear you.
Pay us in 3 days.
What if I told Brother Fat Wan,
he must cough up the money from blue ice every 3 days?
How does that sound?
Sorry, I said 30 days. No problem.
Stop! Last time you borrowed $80K
to pay for Uncle Chin's hospital bill.
But you gambled it away, didn't you?
I didn't mean to lie to you.
Uncle Chin is really sick.
Really? From what?
I... Yes?
I don't want to talk about it.
You don't want to talk about it?
Or you can’t make up a story?
I really don't want to talk about it.
Just pretend I gambled the money away.
Hey...I'm not finished!
Is everything alright?
The nerve of her...throwing a fit after what she has done!
You probably have no appetite.
Let's go somewhere else.
Where?
Mom is the Best? Who told you to pick a song?
Too corny? I'll pick something newer.
This one should do.
You don't want Mother Nancy either?
Why? It's happy and warm. Family feel...
Unite and share...
Life is full of surprises
Be quiet! Listen to the lyrics!
Life is full of surprises?
Indeed, bad surprises...nightmares!
Mother and daughter should not hold a grudge
You're right. They should not.
Yes!
What kind of mother would want her daughter to treat her like the enemy?
That's my mother.
That bad? Do share.
You want to know?
It's a joke.
Is it funny?
She was still a minor when someone knocked her up.
She didn't even know until the belly began to show.
She finally decided to have an abortion,
but the doctor said it was too late.
She was forced to have the baby.
The guy who knocked her up had it easy.
The punch was she didn't know who did it.
Of course nobody wanted responsibility.
She managed to find a sucker
who was nice enough to give me a last name.
I put down his name on my birth certificate.
But soon, the sucker split after he found out he was a sucker.
The name my mother gave me
told me how much she hated me.
You call yourself Mui?
Cheng Suk-mui.
She wanted me to know life is "ripe" and "rotten".
She was dumped by one guy after next because of me.
She told everyone she was my aunt.
Sometimes even my sister, but who'd believe her?
Buy one get one free is hard.
That's why I got out of her way.
I enrolled in cadet school after graduation.
I never went home on holidays.
She didn't come to my passing out.
I thought it was cool.
I stayed in a divided flat and supported myself.
I was so relaxed.
I asked around about her.
People said she hooked up with this Uncle Chin.
They moved in together for a few years.
How nice life was without me.
I'm happy for her.
How would I know she'd become a gambler?
If this uncle doesn't want her,
her life is finished.
It's hard to say.
Get lost.
There's nothing I can do about this.
Here's a shoulder, if you want to cry...
Sing me a song.
Now you want to hear me sing?
Pick a good one.
I'll do my favorite for you.
Little baby, eat some cake,
Uncle will give you baby food
That's awful!
Don't buzz me so quickly. Let me finish.
Eat it and grow up
Baby food is good for you
Can you sing something else?
Why?
You know Mr. White?
He had a rival within the organization called Johnny.
Ngai Tak-shun helped Johnny kill Mr. White
and will replace Mr. White as a key member of the group.
He killed someone for Johnny,
Johnny will kill someone for him.
Me?
I was sent to kill you.
Why did you betray Johnny to save me
and sacrifice one of your men?
Because we have a common enemy.
Ngai Tak-shun? What happened?
We're all entitled to our privacy.
Right! Ngai Tak-shun has many enemies.
My business is not important right now.
The key is to save your own neck.
Johnny sent killers to your restaurant and home.
You can’t fight them alone.
I suggest you go get he'll
I started Fook Wo to fight Cheung Hing,
I'm not friends with...
Your enemy's enemy is your ally.
You're not the only person Ngai Tak-shun wants to kill.
I think I know who to go to.
You'll find this disk and ring useful.
Study them if you have time.
Lay low after you leave here.
I have loose ends to tie up.
Thank you, ally.
I'm done. Your turn.
A travel magazine? Where do you want to go?
A colleague just came back from a trip.
I borrowed it to take a look.
I don't have the time.
Go shower! OK!
What are you doing? Why?
You should have asked me if you want to use my laptop.
You won't find what you're looking for.
But I found your UC phone.
It was you. I knew you're a UC,
I just didn't think you'd tip them off behind my back.
Cheuk Sir and I wanted to help you.
Help me? You call this help?
You're my girlfriend.
Remember what you said?
No matter what happens,
you'll stick with me and never leave me.
And I did. Because I'm your girlfriend,
I love you and that's why I'm still here.
It breaks my heart to see you like this.
Chu Chi-bun, you can still turn back.
Turn yourself in. Remember why you became a cop in the beginning?
Turn myself in? How can I still be a cop?
Let me go! What are you doing?
You want me tie me up forever?
I'll take you abroad when this is over.
This won't take long.
Everything I did, I did it for us.
No! Come back! Cheuk Sir is your shifu!
Cherry...
Help!
Take her away!
Why didn't Cheuk Hoi respond to the message you sent in CIB code?
Did he see through your plan?
I used the same CIB code, he couldn't have caught on.
Maybe there was a special identifying method.
Maybe you missed it.
It's possible, but...
Do you use a certain password other than the CIB code?
Tell me!
Cherry, please tell her.
You have guts!
Too bad you work for Cheuk Hoi.
Kill her! Did you hear me?
I said kill her!
I can't.
Chu Chi-bun, listen to me.
Madam, Cherry is still useful to us.
Let me talk to her.
Wake up! She's been lying to you.
I blew my cover because of you.
If you don't kill her now, I'll kill you.
I didn't expect we'd end up like this.
Cherry, I do love you.
You must be heartless to achieve anything.
After we finish off Cheuk Hoi,
we can do anything we want.
Cherry...I'll take you to the hospital.
No need. Cheuk Sir, I'm sorry I failed my mission.
No, I threw caution to the wind.
I should never have sent you.
Cheuk Sir, you're a good handler like Lai Sir.
I was blinded by personal feelings.
Cheuk Sir, promise me...
Yes?
Ben...shot me, but...he's a good cop.
Cheuk Sir, you must help him.
I can't help him anymore, promise me.
I promise I'll do everything I can.
Thank you, Sir!
I can be a cop again.
Cherry...
Cheuk Sir, how did Cherry die?
What happened tonight?
I received a CIB coded message from Cherry.
But without the identifying code assigned to each of you.
Chu Chi-bun again?
I did not respond but traced the signal
to a place where I found Cherry...
Chu Chi-bun killed her?
How is that possible?
Cherry can't believe her boyfriend would kill her.
Cheuk Sir, I don't get it!
First it was Lai Sir, now Cherry.
As UCs, we're supposed to go after the criminals, not cops.
Those who wanted us dead should be criminals, not cops.
I don't care, I will take out all the dirty cops.
Chu Chi-bun and his fellow dirty cops
killed Lai Sir and his UC.
I will have my revenge.
I'll make them sorry for what they did.
Let's go now.
Have you lost your minds?
You're Police officers, not punks.
Officers? Chu Chi-bun is a CIP.
Who cares? They don't have our files.
But you know you're a cop.
A cop like Chu Chi-bun,
is useless even if he's the Commissioner.
We use the rule of law to put these people behind bars.
Trust me, I won't let Cherry die in vain.
Kuen, I promised to watch over your UCs.
However hard it is, I will bring them in.
Cherry was young and very capable.
You trained her well.
She was still lively and smart when I found her.
I'm sorry.
I lost my UCs in Thailand.
Now I can’t protect yours.
I couldn't save Cherry, but I won't give up.
The dirty cops are very powerful.
Even my protege has turned into a murderer.
Can you tell me what to do?
I know what you mean. Thank you.
Next time I visit you.
I promise I'll find all the missing UCs.
I love you and I'll love everything good and bad about you.
I don't know what happened.
But whatever it is, I'll be there for you.
Good or bad, happy or unhappy, I want to spend every moment with you.
It's too late!
Too late!
Why?
I went around the restaurant.
There were strangers all over, who are probably scouts.
Looks like Miss Leung told me the truth.
Johnny is planning something.
They won't stop until they find me.
Shall I call everyone to Sai Kung?
Whatever happens, we'll have enough hands.
We're dealing with international criminals with firearms.
Our men are no help.
What do you have in mind?
Business as usual.
Everything stays open.
Keep an eye on things for me and don't mind me.
It's dangerous for you to be out there alone.
Why don't I...
No. I'll get my own protection.
Cheuk Sir, sea coconut sweet soup, good for your cough.
I brought you sweet soup, I'm still not welcome?
I don't have a cough.
I'm just an ordinary citizen
who needs protection.
This is my home.
You should go to the Police.
You must know the Police cannot be trusted.
Enjoy the sweet soup, Cheuk Sir.
You knew about the dirty cops?
And they work for Cheung Hing.
Someone higher up than a SP.
They took care of Wong Sir of NB who used to work for me.
Only you can protect me, Cheuk Sir.
You call the shot at Fook Wo,
you don't need my protection.
This is not an ordinary gang fight.
Ngai Tak-shun is now hooked up with an international money laundering outfit.
They may use an armory on me.
If that's the case, I can't help you either.
You're still with the Force.
You can use Police resources.
Inside this disk, you'll find information of this organization's clientele.
Where did you get this?
That's beside the point.
The point is you stand to gain everything from our deal.
If you work with me,
you can crush this organization,
wipe out Cheung Hing and the dirty cops.
What's there to think about?
Chum Foon-hei, I don't trust you.
When you started your gang after you returned from Thailand,
you ignored my advice to quit.
Now you made a mess,
why should I help you?
I don't want to be your pawn.
OK, let's set aside our joint venture.
Someone wants to kill me
and I'd end up faced down in the gutter.
I dare not go back to my restaurant
and my men don't know where I'm hiding.
I came to you for protection,
because I know you won't disclose my whereabouts.
I also know you're an honest cop.
You won't stand by and watch me die.
I can put you in a safe house
and assign someone to protect you.
Thank you.
But on one condition.
Turn yourself in after the dirty cops have been arrested.
Tell them everything you have done.
I only run a restaurant,
you want to put me out of business?
Choose one, between your life and your business.
He who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.
Very well...enjoy your sweet soup.
