I'm Mr Hsi. Any message from 3833?
That lady has left.
Thank you.
Mr Lu, she has left
I didn't bring my daughter; she's sick.
Is she under your mammy's care again?
Have you been busy lately?
No, my department is folding up while.
Yours is busy catching dope pushers.
Cheer up. Say something.
Well, I do want to talk to you Say it.
Are you emigrating with your mammy to Canada?
I haven't made up my mind yet.
Once you have decided, please...
Go on.
Sponsor me as your spouse.
You know, a small cop has no future here.
You mean to hold our divorce proceedings?
Would you give up your police job to be a waiter?
That man there's funny. He never finishes his soup.
And he hasn't touched those dishes
I'm not the idle-talk type.
Your group gas cracked some dope cases.
Take care.
Have you got any news?
Nothing.
Come to see your daughter when you've time
I will.
Don't you feel I've matured much?
I must leave.
Miss, you've dropped your spoon.
Thank you.
What are you doing?
Mr. Hsi, a murder, Hill Wood Road Please inform Mr Lu.
OK, we'll come right away.
Mr Lu, it's done Let's start.
Why are you so late?
Something happened to Lo Huan What?
Something happened to Lo Huan.
Say that again.
Lo Huan's killed.
Senior Lady Inspector Anti-Narcotics Kin HQS
was shot by a mysterious killer.
What's the killer's motive?
Senior Supt. Lu of Homicide will recount the circumstances.
Don't look, this is only a duplicate.
Why did you secretly push dope with Snake?
Where is Snake? I repatriated him to Thailand.
Why?
This will be better for you.
Call our Anti-Narcotics Section tomorrow morning.
Let's get back that stuff and forget everything.
Do you agree or not?
Why are you doing that?
All I want is a better life for us both.
Why did she die so horribly?
What are you doing? Don't go in CID.
Don't be sad.
The saddest thing is to see you together.
After identification, take a statement.
Right in the restaurant where Insp. Lo was murdered
our reporter is still covering the news.
According to police who didn't want to be identified
she did brilliantly at Anti-Narcotics Section
having seized large quantities of drugs.
A professional killer hired by drug pushers could have done it.
Tallie called saying Miss Pai is missing We can't find her till later
I've never seen a sharper marksman.
Why such a mess?
I don't know.
You were with her every night.
You mean officially or privately?
Officially means our Section privately means me and her.
She was recently investigating a group of dope pushers.
Maybe she was bought.
Don't be sad. Go back and take a rest.
Don't be sad yourself.
Don't play a hero to probe this
I'll investigate it at my leisure.
Go and sign the Death Certificate first.
Sorry, I'm late.
How come? We were waiting for you to embark.
Since the target is an inspector The price has to be different.
Where's your assistant?
She went shopping. She'll return of the count is right.
Well, let me go back to report first Wait here. Don't ever go away
I'll fix it, don't worry.
Mr Lu, we didn't pick up Tallie's assistant.
Why?
He said the price for a policeman is different.
Would things be better if Tallie didn't talk?
Wonder what he has told his assistant?
Have them collect the money. Pay their price.
Tallie? Speaking
I've talked with my superior. No problem
I'm having someone send you the amount you want.
Well, have you find your assistant?
She will appear when the money's paid.
Please disappear right after you get the money.
We will.
Good. Wait at the phone booth. Money's coming.
Not my fault.
Sir! Sleep if you're tired. Take your mind off it.
Take care of him.
Lo Huan has left you.
You should've known, she'd...
What's the press comment on this case?
The paper's on your desk. Head it.
Well, I'll fix it myself Come to us if you need any help.
Tallie, how come?
We've already brought the money.
Now tell us, where's your assistant? We'll escort her home safely
I really don't know.
She'd be in danger loitering alone
I don't know.
Hush!
Tallie, you're had a narrow escape.
Tell us, where's she?
Don't you know? I don't.
Mitsukoshi, Causeway Bay...

Someone there is ready to take it
but the party is not the nice sort.
The Hsiang Ming case should be settled the sooner the better.
If we can't deliver, we may get killed.
Where are we going?
Which is the safest place?
The Golden Triangle
Hong Kong's much brighter now.
You have a fever. Go and see a doctor tomorrow
Hsiang Ming's now listed as first degree killer.
Homicide men may shoot him at sight.
Those who failed in taking him needn't worry
I'm now in charge.
As of now, all leaves will be cancelled.
Stand by round-the-clock Report to your captain.
Dismissed.
What's your trouble?
My friend Friend?
My friend's ill. Please help him
I don't make home calls.
Please. He's seriously ill.
Take him to a hospital then. Call an ambulance.
Doctor, I beg you, help him
I can't leave those patients unattended...
Get your things and follow me.
Doctor.
My mammy's having a baby. I must go.
His old wound's getting inflamed.
The new wound barely misses the aorta.
Miss, are you his wife?
No.
You're Robin Hood, but I'm poor.
My family was rich
but they went bankrupt last night.
Is he all right? Should be fatal
I mean, should be all right.
Should be all right.
Why are you still here?
I still have a lot of shopping to do.
What shopping?
Earrings, lipsticks, shoes my sister's favorites.
She wants to but 20 pairs when she's rich.
Did you kill my wife for that?
Yes, life's cheap and earrings are dear.
Did Mr Lu tell you to kill her?
I'm not sure.
My uncle told me only when I got there.
You're cold-blooded. Why save me?
Because you saved me once And I like Lin.
And I couldn't wait for my uncle.
He was killed, and you know it.
That one after you killed hum?
Get out if you want to stay alive.
How?
Don't you want water?
I want to make a call.
Yes, thank you Hsiang Ming
Hsiang Ming.
A friend.
The ringleader's a Homicide boss
I'll give up if needs be.
Give up? He'll investigate it too.
And he'd claim you killed yourself to evade conviction.
Would she testify against Mr Lu?
She knows nothing.
Theoretically she's guilty.
She saved me once.
Theoretically she's not linked if she goes away.
Where's Mr Lu keeping the data?
Anything to prove he's linked?
Yes, I have an idea.
What would you do?
Drug Squad Ling's wife writes to say.
Ling fooled around on the mainland and in Taiwan.
And he picked up a foreign girl in HK.
She wants us to check if the girls are spies.
Let's go and investigate then.
Aren't we doing him an injustice? Right.
You and Julia Nixon went to Hotel A on Feb. 12
to Hotel B on Feb. 15
and to Hotel C on Feb. 17.
You have been with her every third day since Buy you didn't pay the expenses.
You need medical advice for your strong sexual desire.
Does this concern the Political Dep't?
Isn't it the affair of the Medical and Health Dep't?
It's not our concern if Julia is a spy?
She's not a spy; she's a nympho.
She enjoys doing that.
Can't a spy play a nympho?
She comes from a rich family.
A spy could pose as a rich girl too.
A spy of what country?
She's a Soviet spy.
She wants to get info from you on drugs from the mainland
and to expose it to the world.
She never asked me about drugs.
A spy wouldn't do things that way, idiot
I'm no 007; I can't tell if she's a spy
HK will soon be China's and you bedding a Soviet.
What do you expect me to do then?
Answer my questions honestly.
We'll rewrite the report, so we'd be even.
No Keep it in the record then.
Don't act on impulse.
Keep cool, Once on record, you're finished.
Well, come on with your questions.
That policewoman died a martyr.
Why haven't you got any clue?
We raided Sai Kung on a tip-off
but Homicide was there making an arrest.
They had it done. So we couldn't go on.
What about your informer?
We got that bastard Snake Ming.
He said someone wanted to dump that stuff.
We beat him into telling us everything
but Madam wouldn't trust us She wanted to question him herself.
Then Snake disappeared.
Here's a complaint from your wife. Read it.
That fat bitch?
I got them from the car. See if they're okay.
Can I try them?
Your shoes?
They don't fit.
What?
Let me do it if you can't
I've got everything sorted out.
They're observing the 1st 7day; will be late
I'll count on you.
Don't worry, I'm going.
Give me your cigarette
I don't smoke.
Damn, I can't find it.
Impossible, I must have got it.
Where could it be?
How's it going up there?
I'm searching the study. Nothing here.
What about your side down there?
Nothing either
Johnny, search some other places.
Okay, I'm now in the living room.
Lots of heroin.
What?
Lu is coming up
Johnny Lu's coming up.
Can't you stop coughing?
Fatty Wai Who's speaking?
Fatty Wai can't go tonight. He must work.
Who's talking?
Cut it off right away.
Lu's coming, Johnny.
The back door dog doesn't bark.
The political Dep't complained we went too far
on the Hsiang Ming case
I've heard about it.
We've moved too slowly then.
Let him get to the Triangle. We'll fix him there.
Once he's gone, who's going to accuse us?
Let's sell it to local pushers while it's in short supply.
No, we must answer to our USA friends.
Have you had your palm read lately?
What do you mean?
Speak up.
Where are they? Answer me
Johnny Run quick
I really don't know what's on your mind.
Nor do I.
What are you going to do in Golden Triangle?
Did I say I'm going back?
Talk business and sell opium.
Eat ice-cream and buy earrings in Bangkok.
And I want a girl
I like your daughter
Hsiang Ming.
Get out of here right now
Johnny was flung out of the window when he came to the Lu's to get evidence.
What?
He told him of this address before his death.
He didn't mean to. Understand?
Get out of Hong Kong right away.
All the police in HK have got a tip-off.
They'll shoot you on sight.
Escape.
Don't use my car. Go through the path.
What about you?
Don't worry. They've no evidence against me.
And I know how to defend my self.
Run, run quick.
Where are you going?
No idea.
Come with me to the Village.
Golden Triangle?
Make up your mind now.
Get going
I don't know.
Run, run quick.
Take care.
Mr Lu, I really don't know where he is.

but I turned him down because he's wanted.
We're friends, but not close friends

Believe me, Mr Lu.
Mr Lu, I really don't know where he is.
He did call me, but I turned him down.

This way, please Come in.
This once Thank you
I'll have someone pick you up before dawn.
Who are those men outside?
Most of them are criminals.
The proprietor?
We have our rules. This is my business.
Go to bed.
We'll sail for Waglan, then to Thailand.
All roads lead to our Village in Thailand.
Nothing matters as long as we survive.
You're all smiles now.
The thought of home delights me.
Never thought I'd emigrate to Golden there.
You can study Chinese there.
Let me hold her.
Sister, get up and play with me.
Get up and play with me.
Lin, I'm going out. Don't go away.
Lin's missing.
Watch out Go through the back door.
Let those novices be cannon fodder.
Let's go.
Go out. What are you doing?
Stay where you are!
Brother, don't shoot.
Keep away Don't shoot.
Keep away.
Drop your gun or I'll shoot.
Come on, drop it.
After him.
Let's go Drop your gun.
Don't shoot.
Are you all right? Yes.
We'd better go into hiding.
Where's Lin? She's asleep.
Lin's wet all over. Got any cloth?
Have you got any money?
Not too much.
Give it to me
I only kill for money.
With it, I'll kill for you.
Let's go and get Lu Chin before he comes to us
I'll go to get a bag.
Don't get the condom by mistake.
My hands are gone, gone What's wrong? Come and sit down.
Don't move.
Great shot. Right between my eyes.
Shoot.
Don't brother Don't! She's a good shot.
You'll never repay me the lives.
My hands.
Which of you helped kill my brother?
I didn't

A good shot.
Don't shoot.
Take all my guns.
Brother, give them the guns.
Don't shoot. It has no bullets.
Where's your gun? Show me.
Take it.
Mr Lu, where's your gun? Show them.
It has no bullets.
Mr Lu, any more guns? No.
Don't shoot.
It hurts.
Quiet, or I'll blow your throat up.
Don't shoot Quiet.
Stop that Quiet.
Stop that.
Mr Lu, give them their share.
Mr Lu, give Hao's share to them too.
No, that's unreasonable.
It's two against four.
Split the money into 6 parts
I want no money.
Life would be cheap if you've no money and no hands.
Take back your share.
Lu, what do you say?
We've been in this section for years.
When others make money we worked at the morgue.
Frankly, I don't mind, I'm a salaried worker.
We can't accept bribes.
Now there's the 1997 question again.
No such a question when everyone was making money.
Now, I'm promoted and the question arises.
Everybody's emigrating. What about me?
You killed my wife for this?
She threatened my plan, I had no choice
I was sadder when she died.
Because she loved me, not you. Understand?
Isn't it sad to see one's lover die?
Hsi, tell me.
Have I shed tears? Have I?
Yes Have I, Hsi?
Yes.
Who sees your daughter oftener, you or me?
I also have a son waiting for me in USA.
Now you can't get away.
Split the money Money counts for much
I mean it.
You'd do anything for money.
Split it. Take my advice and split it.
OK, to show my sincerity I'll maim my left hand.
Come on, shoot my hand.
Shoot at my hand.
Don't.
Come on.
A cripple's better than a dead man. Come on.
Come on, don't cry.
Come on.
Shoot him.
Don't shot Kill me
I carry 2 guns daily. You wouldn't dream of it.
Kill me
I've always been really to die.
Kill me if you got the nerve.
Now you know how it feels to get hit!
The more bleeding, the colder you feel.
Your teeth will clatter; your limbs numb.
You'll be thirsty as death nears
but you can drink nothing but your blood.
If you escape death, you'd be able to really smile.
My blood, my blood.
Pretend I'm your family doctor. You can pay me with "thanks".
The embalming fluid
won't last for long.
Bury her soon.
I'm glad I can be of help.
If you ever have a baby, I can make the delivery.
Thanks, doctor.
Thanks.
Hsiang Ming and Ah Chui were arrested before reaching international waters.
They are still in prison.
