The value of life lies not in the length of days,
but in the use we make to them;
a man may live long,
yet get little from life.
- Michel de Montaigne
Are you Mr. Cheuk Hoi?
Miss Sze left you this note.
Thank you.
Cheuk Hoi, thanks for spending a worry-free day with me.
I need to take care of something in Hong Kong.
Victor!
Scarlett? What are you doing here?
Come, let's go for a spin.
Victor, I came to tell you I want to break up our partnership.
Sorry, I know this is out of the blue.
While I was on vacation, I have this craving
my vacation can go on and never end.
Is it that hard to be with me?
No, I lasted this long precisely because of you.
As partners, we got along well.
We have been through life and death
and we lay open our heart to each other.
I'm happy to help you.
But you're so capable,
there's not much else I can help you with.
I need you to take care of Chum Foon-hei
and take control of Asia.
I'm still a long way away from my dream.
I know you aim high and aim big.
Even without me, you can still go on
and do a very good job.
Someday, you'll reach out to the world
and be on the top of the world.
Other than helping me,
there's no other reason for you to stay?
You risked your life in order to keep your word.
I told myself I must stay and help you to return the favor.
But you don't really need me anymore.
I must ask myself why I am staying.
How about for me. For Ngai Tak-shun?
I was relaxed and comfortable these last few days.
I knew then when I'm with you,
I'm mentally and physically exhausted.
The same kind of exhaustion I felt when I was with MI-6
Victor, you're good to me, you respect me and show consideration for my feelings.
You never forced me to do anything, and I'm grateful.
But I also know you.
What you're spending your life to achieve is not the kind of life I want.
What I want...you can't give it to me.
Allow me to be selfish.
The ambiguity between a man and a women is the best.
Let's leave it at that.
You said I respect you, show you consideration and never pressured you.
There's no reason to do any differently now.
Thank you.
If you're selfish, so am I.
Being born into this family,
I can't possibly give up everything for you.
One cannot have the best of both worlds.
What's your plan?
I don't know. Just follow my heart.
Someday, when you're at the top,
look down and see if you'll spot me.
Definitely. You'll be the first one I spot.
Can I take it for a spin?
You're quite a driver.
For without victory, there is no survival.
To Winston Churchill.
To victory.
To Victor.
I came to tell you I want to break up our partnership.
Sorry! Allow me to be selfish.
The ambiguity between a man and a women is the best.
Let's leave it at that.
Take him away.
Who are you? Why do you want to kill us?
I get paid to do a job. I'm prepared to die.
Who paid you? Speak "P!
You won't talk?
Fix him!
Hello? We caught the killer.
We're interrogating him but this one is hard to crack.
Don't worry, we'll tidy it up.
Just got an order to make him talk.
Or else we'll all be in danger.
You're the real killer!
You paid that guy
and made him wear a bug.
You followed me to find out who I was talking to.
Think again!
You! Lok Siu-fung of Fook Wo?
Who's really calling the shots?
Lok Siu-fung, I'll see you in hell.
Police officers gunned down in Nam Sang Wei and the killer is still on the loose.
The shootout is believed to be an organized homicide.
Assistant Commissioner Hui Kai-fat stated the gravity of the situation...
Mui!
Why you and not Lok?
I'm sorry.
Have you heard from Lok?
Do you know where he is?
I'm worried about you. That's why I came.
I saw on the news,
Cheung Suet-ching and a bunch of dirty cops are dead.
Lok did it and he got away.
He must be hiding somewhere.
He's probably injured and couldn't go to a doctor.
He's in great danger.
Stop imagining things. He'll be alright.
No...I can't wait here. I must go find him.
Mui...you can’t just run out there and look for him.
Will you calm down?
How? I can't let him sink or swim on his own
The only thing we can do
is to tell Cheuk Sir everything.
No...Cheuk Sir will arrest him.
Tin-tong, please don't.
If we don't tell Cheuk Sir,
he's not just going to jail, he'll die.
People on both sides of the law are looking for him.
You think the two of us can save him?
If you want what's good for Lok, you must tell Cheuk Sir.
Then we'll work out a plan to save Lok.
Cheuk Sir!
What happened?
Why did you say Lok is the dirty cop killer?
When the third dirty cop was killed,
Siu-sze and Raptor found a dash camera.
Mui checked the video
and suspected Lok is the masked killer.
Then why didn't you tell me?
I wasn't sure.
Or maybe I was hoping I was wrong.
I didn't want it to be him.
Then you found a chance to test him?
I told him I found another dirty cop from Ling Chi.
And he went after the guy.
How did he find out about the identity of the dirty cops?
Mui thinks Lok stole the name list from Ling Chi.
And killed them off based on the list.
So it was a lie about him being sick?
Sorry, Sir! I thought I could handle it
and convince him to turn back.
I didn't expect he'd go that far and killed Madam Cheung.
Sorry, Sir! I knew and didn't tell you.
I deserved to be punished.
This is not the time to lay the blame.
The key is to find out what happened.
Why did Lok kill those dirty cops?
I thought it was for Cherry.
But each murder was done with such vengefulness,
I believe there's another reason.
I thought maybe it was related to Pak-key.
But Pak-key had nothing to do with the dirty cops.
Lok is hiding something from us.
This secret is probably his motive.
He's in grave danger. We must find him ASAP.
Do you know where he's hiding?
We have checked all his usual haunts.
Then let's split up.
The longer it takes to find him, the more dangerous it is for him.
Call me if you hear anything.
Yes, Sir!
Wk! Tat Q!
Are you alright?
Tat Q! How do you feel?
Thanks for coming from China.
Are you OK? Was it a big gang fight?
Where are you hurt?
I was shot.
Let me see...you're still bleeding.
Shall I get you an ambulance?
No! The cops will know if we go to the hospital.
Then where can we go?
I have a mission for you.
I need your help to find Lok.
Cheuk Sir, do you mean
Lok Siu-fung from the Good Luck Gang in Bangkok?
You're new to us and don't know this.
He's one of my UCs.
He's already a UC when he worked for Pak-key?
That's what I thought, but I'm not so sure now.
He was fine before, what happened to him?
I suspect he's the dirty cop killer.
Cheuk Sir, is there a mistake?
Why would Lok kill anyone?
I hope I made a mistake.
Even though the cops he killed were dirty,
a UC must never take the law into his own hands.
We're officers of the law, we must stop him from making more mistakes.
Entertainment City, hack into the Police communications system.
See if they got word on Lok.
Screwdriver, you're familiar with the control center,
give Entertainment City a hand.
Yes, Sir!
Lok went missing after the shootout.
He's probably injured.
Jazz, Raptor, check all the black market clinics.
See if anyone has taken Lok's case.
Yes, Sir!
Remember Lok is a killer,
we don't know his mental state.
Be very careful when you approach him.
Don't forget our target
is to find him before the Police.
Yes, Sir!
What is it? Where's your pet?
He's the emergency. Are you blind?
Help him sit down.
I'll get the first aid kit and call an ambulance.
Sure!
No Police!
Watch your gun!
Is anyone here? Inside?
No, just cats and dogs.
You, go lock the door.
Go!
Hurry UP!
Watch it!
Are you sure? I'm just a vet.
I can't treat humans.
I might kill your friend.
You know what to do if a pet was shot.
I only know the dosage of anesthetic on animals.
You need an anesthetist to administer the dosage on humans.
If the dosage is too strong, your friend may not wake up.
Just do it. No anesthetic.
You'll pass out from the pain.
I can take it.
Are you sure?
Hurry UP!
Shut up and start the treatment.
Tat Q!
Are you OK? Does it still hurt?
Better.
The vet is surprisingly good.
Where are they?
I tied them up.
They're sleeping with the cats and dogs.
How long have we been here?
About 10 hours.
It should be morning by now.
Here we are.
Control, 1308 arrived with my partner.
Open Up!
Cops? Did they call them?
Even if they didn't,
they haven't been home for over 10 hours.
It's normal for the cops to show up.
I forgot to tell them to call home.
Why didn't you remind me?
Shut up and let's go.
Cheuk Sir!
We'll talk outside.
Are you OK? Take the back door.
You two go that way and lure the cops away.
Where are you taking him?
I trust Cheuk Sir...
Let's go! Come on...
Hang in there, Lok.
You should go, Cheuk Sir.
If you were seen with a killer,
you'd be in big trouble. Go!
I don't know why you killed those people.
You're a UC and I'm your handler,
I will not abandon you.
What if I told you I'm not a UC?
What?
I've been lying to you.
I'm not a UC of the Hong Kong Police.
I don't even know Lai Sir.
I needed your help to avenge my brother.
I'm not worth it.
Don't take any chances for me.
Please go! Just go!
No, I need answers from you.
Let's just get out of here.
Cheuk Sir, thanks for saving me.
But I will eventually arrest you.
How did you find me and Tat Q?
I told Entertainment City to intercept the calls in and out of Control.
Someone reported a woman who didn't go home last night.
The woman in the animal hospital?
That's why the cops showed up.
There was a shootout where Madam Cheung was killed.
I guess you were injured.
To avoid the cops, you'd probably go to a vet.
That's why Entertainment City and I came over.
Nothing can fool you.
Don't you have a story to tell me?
You told me just now you're not Lai Sir's UC.
What's going on?
The real UC is Lok Siu-man, my older brother.
I'm just an ordinary punk.
We grew up in an orphanage.
When we were old enough to leave,
my brother became a cop,
while I chose to be a punk
and followed Pak-key to Bangkok.
Since then, we went our separate ways.
Then Lai Sir recruited him?
Yes, he accidentally came across the dirty cops
and was hunted down.
He had nowhere to hide so he looked me up in Bangkok.
They still caught up with him
and he died right before my eyes.
He told me he sent the information of the dirty cops to Lai Sir,
but Lai Sir was murdered too.
My brother believed Lai Sir would send someone to rescue him,
so he told me to get in touch with this person
and tell him about the dirty cops.
This is before I went to Thailand?
Cheuk Sir, I'm sorry I took advantage of your trust in me.
I don't think I'm the only one,
if your brother knew you'd become a killer,
he would never have gone to Thailand.
But I don't regret what I have done.
At least I killed those dirty cops.
Before I killed Madam Cheung,
I saw her talking on the phone.
I think this person is the true mastermind.
You mean there's someone else other than Madam Cheung?
I won't hand you over to the Police for now.
Because it'll be too dangerous for you.
Stay here for the time being,
Screwdriver will keep an eye on you.
Lok is not Lai Sir's UC?
He had guts posing as one to avenge his brother.
He found out there's a true mastermind behind Madam Cheung.
Before we find this mastermind,
it's too dangerous for him if we turn him in.
I put him in a safe house.
Cheuk Sir, I want to see him.
No!
Why not? Even if he's not a UC but a killer,
we have been through so much together,
why can't I see him?
Because you have too much personal feelings involved.
I know I made a mistake by not reporting him.
Just listen to me. You can't see him.
Cheuk Sir...
Tin-tong, watch her. Don't give in to her.
Stay focused on Cheung Hing,
I'll take care of Lok.
Yes, Sir!
Hello, Tai-fai? What's up?
Where? Can't tell me?
OK, I'll be right there.
You must show up when they summon you.
I'll call you if I hear anything about Cheung Hing.
Well? Brother Tai-fai?
Get in.
Where are we going?
The usual. You'll know when we get there.
There...
Thank you!
You're quite amazing.
You went to a vet for a wound like that?
I still can’t believe the serial killer is one of Cheuk Sir's UC.
Shut up! Cheuk Sir knows what he's doing.
All we have to do is keep an eye on Lok.
Are you OK, Lok?
Better...
I told Tat Q not to worry about you.
He's such a pain in the neck.
I had to tell so many lies to shut him up.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
Does it hurt? I'll help you go lie down.
It's time to eat. Who wants take out?
Call me and tell me what they have.
OK.
I'll go with you. I have stuff to buy.
OK, let's go.
Today's target is Lok. He's injured.
He's hiding inside and there should be someone with him.
But never mind that.
Shoot to kill. Lok Siu-fung must die.
Nothing, Brother Tai-fai.
Check the rooms.
Where do you think you're going?
Chui "I'm-tong?
I won't let you kill him.
So you're the bloody traitor!
Go ahead and shoot!
UCs cannot shoot?
Go ahead and shoot!
UCs cannot shoot?
I'm not a UC.
If you keep this up, there's no turning back.
I had no intention to.
Help me, there's a big bad cop out there.
Give me a chance to take my revenge.
You're asking me to break the law.
Please help me.
If we're still friends,
help me one last time, OK?
Shoot me! So I have a story to tell.
Thank you!
What's wrong with you?
Brother Foon-hei.
Lok, I was worried about you.
That's why I called Brother Foon-hei.
With him and Chai Fing around,
no one would dare touch you.
Lok, I'm impressed. You killed those cops all by yourself?
Those were dirty cops.
They're on Ngai Tak-shun's payroll.
I know I didn't follow the house rules.
You're the Boss, feel free to punish me.
Lok killed Tai-fai to save me.
Did you have trouble at Cheung Hing?
I muddled through with the shot.
How does Ngai Tak-shun know so quickly where we're hiding Lok?
Luckily you're all safe.
Safe? Lok is not safe.
Tin-tong, why did you let him go?
He's injured and he's wanted by both sides of the law.
Do you know how dangerous it is for him out there?
Do you realize he could die?
Mui, that wound should hurt.
Tin-tong.
Sorry! I shouldn't have let him go.
Tin-tong had no choice.
Lok insisted on leaving.
Cheuk Sir, please save him.
I told Screwdriver and the others to look for him.
Lok is still bent on taking revenge.
We must stop him
Lok is one of us.
We must stop him from killing again.
Can't let him make another mistake.
You're a very different UC.
You're after Cheung Hing, not Fook Wo.
The Police is getting smarter with UCs.
You think a UC will one day become the head of a gang in order to control them?
I'm not surprised...
but why would Cheuk Hoi let his UC kill anyone?
Wrong. I'm not Cheuk Sir's UC.
What?
Strictly speaking, I'm posing as a UC who has infiltrated Fook Wo
in order to approach Cheuk Sir.
I'm posing as a UC in order to take revenge.
You wanted revenge too?
My brother was a cop and a UC.
The dirty cops killed him.
I used you and Cheuk Sir,
to help me expose the dirty cops so I can avenge my brother.
Like me, you have no family.
We both wanted to avenge a loved one
and chose a path of no return.
The only difference is, you're a fake UC
while I'm a real one.
You're a UC?
Don't look so surprised.
What's real is a fake. What's a fake is real
In order to avenge your brother,
a punk became a UC.
While I was a UC and became a gangster.
My handler was killed and I deleted my UC file.
I never told anyone about this.
Why are you telling me?
What if I shoot off my mouth
and get people from both sides of the law after you?
50?
Becoming a gangster is not my goal.
I only wanted to avenge my wife.
Cheung Hing is behind Pak-key's death.
We have a common enemy.
We're now in the same boat,
we should take our revenge together.
I have come this far and killed so many.
I'll work with whoever helps me take my revenge.
Very good!
Sir, Mr. Ngai is here.
Assistant Commissioner Hui Kai-fat of Crime,
Assistant Commission Yuen Chik-kau of Security.
I'm just an ordinary citizen,
what gives me the pleasure of meeting two AC5?
Isn't this a bit of an overkill?
Ngai Tak-shun, quit your act!
Look, I'm all for cooperating with the Police.
But should I feel threatened by your words,
I'll have to call my lawyer.
Is that what you want?
Mr. Ngai, we need the Police because there are criminals.
A crime is committed at all times.
That's why we need the Police.
We all have rules to go by and should exercise discretion.
You crumbled an international money laundering organization,
and split the clientele with Fook Wo.
Your arrogance forced us to take action.
I crumbled the organization?
You're flattering me.
Anyway, where's your proof?
You want to play games?
Your gang against the entire Hong Kong Police?
How would you like to play?
All right, I'm a businessman.
I want harmony and peace.
Since you invited me here for a chat,
I'm happy to oblige you, OK?
I'll try to keep a low profile
and won't make your job more difficult, OK?
I still have work to do, excuse me.
Mr. Ngai, Commissioner Hui wants to see you.
Please follow me.
Sir, Mr. Ngai is here.
Have you forgotten something?
What's wrong with you, Victor?
If you can't even kill someone for me,
how can we go on working together?
I sent every man to look for Lok Siu-fung.
I even checked Fook Wo turf.
Killing him is just a matter of time.
When is that? When I'm dead and buried?
I know you're pissed about Madam Cheung.
But you can't bring back the dead.
You should calm down at a time like this.
Calm down? Lok Siu-fung killed my girl.
Ching has been with me for years.
I want him to die.
I want him to die painfully.
