For it is indeed too sad that
in life it should be as it is in chess,
when one false move may lose us the game,
but with the difference that
we can have no second game,
no return-match.
- Sigmund Freud
Your offer is lucrative.
But I must pay back the bullet I owe White.
If you represent Ngai Tak-shun,
and he broke White's neck with his bare hands,
I'll put this bullet in you.
No problem.
A bullet-proof vest?
What if I shot you in the head?
We got this from Mr. White.
If we handed it over to the Police,
the CCB would be making this call, not me.
50?
I just want to prove a point.
Mr. Ngai really wanted to work with you.
You play fair and is good for your word.
What you owe Mr. White,
you paid him back through me.
You have done your part, don't quarrel with money.
What if I still want to kill you?
Miss Sze, I'll let Ngai Tak-shun look after my money.
Thank you!
Bullet-proof vest!
Ngai Tak-shun is something if he has a woman like you to take the bullet for him.
Come in!
Scarlett! Yes?
The numbers came in for the first month
from the new Ling Chi branches.
I brought them over to show you.
You didn't need to come over.
Can't I come see you?
Another new office for Ling Chi?
Not until the new ones are up and running.
We're doing auction houses, charity trusts and money exchanges.
We're branching out?
How else can we launder all the money within the time limit?
I won't have time for Ling Chi,
I'm counting on you.
No problem, make sure you pay me OT.
You'll be screaming for help.
I have 2 more loan agreements.
Take them with you and put them in the books.
What is it? Sit down.
It's nothing. I bumped my chest.
You should go home and get some rest.
No, I have too much to handle with the new companies.
I can't rest.
Shall I tell Mr. Ngai and ask him to...
Don't tell him. I can handle this.
Are you sure?
Yes. Get me a glass of water.
Cheuk Sir, I think Scarlett is not feeling well.
She won't rest or let me call Mr. Ngai.
Why don't you look in on her?
Hoi?
Miss Sze, what a coincidence.
Are you alright?
Just a little chest pain.
That can be serious.
Shall I take you to a doctor?
You must be doing something dangerous for Ngai Tak-shun again.
The doctor said I'm fine.
Painkillers will do the trick.
Let me help you.
Thank you. The side pocket...
Thank you,
Shall I take you home?
I do miss riding with you.
Will I be interrupting your work?
The Hong Kong Police is here to serve.
You're awake!
I must have dozed off for a while.
Over half an hour.
Why are we still near the restaurant?
We ran into a big traffic jam.
Since you were sound asleep,
I pulled over so you can rest.
Feeling better now?
Much. It doesn't hurt anymore.
Good or else I'm taking you straight to the hospital.
It's not serious. I just need rest.
Does Ngai Tak-shun know?
I didn't tell him.
Why not?
It's not that serious.
Casualty is part of the package.
You should know that, you're a cop.
Yes, but I don't want you in harm's way.
Don't worry, I can handle it.
Call me if you need anything. I'll help you.
Thank you.
Take care of yourself if we're friends.
Do what you can, don't push yourself.
I really have a lot of work to do.
After this, I can take a long vacation.
If you need some company,
I can show you around.
We'll see.
I'll take you home.
Let's see if this guy is smart.
Did Cheuk Sir send you, Screwdriver?
How do you know?
Are YOU Raptor?
I'm not wearing a brooch.
How did you know Cheuk Sir sent me?
Your brooch is over there.
UCs won't pose as someone you'd spot right away, like a homeless.
Obviously, someone faked you out.
How do you know I'm here?
You may want to fake me out,
but Cheuk Sir gave you a job to do.
You'll be watching the homeless.
This is where Pd pick.
You're catching on. Cheuk Sir was right to pick you.
And you're sneaky, putting me on the test.
Of course! I must make sure my partner can be trusted.
My life is in his hands.
How thoughtful! I trust Cheuk Sir would never put us in harm's way.
The people he picked must be quite good.
You're praising yourself in a roundabout way?
Then I believe you're making me a compliment.
Let's roll.
To Kai-kei is wearing a denim jacket.
He's a SIP of OCT B
and also one of Madam Cheung's dirty cops.
He's very careful.
He brings another cop with him.
He must be scared of the dirty cop killer.
He had to be careful after two are dead.
I'll go pee.
Be careful.
New"
He's just going to the toilet. Order.
What's talking him so long?
Kai Sir!
Where did he go?
What are you doing?
Let's go.
Sorry, Sir. We failed to save the dirty cop
and let the killer get away.
Who would have guessed he'd choose such a busy place?
You have done your best.
We found something that may be useful.
A car parked across the street was facing the alley.
The dash camera may have captured the killer.
Well done. I'll get someone to check it out.
Let's see if it's Cheung Hing
or if the dirty cops are onto each other.
Luckily Raptor saw the oar.
Or the Police would have taken the dash camera.
Cheuk Sir taught us to pay attention to details.
I was worried your past would be a burden to you.
Now I'm relieved.
I should thank you, Cheuk Sir.
If you didn't pick me up,
I'd still be a loser.
After we catch all the dirty cops,
I'll have you reinstated ASAP.
Thank you, Sir! I won't let you down.
Where are the others?
It's just you and me.
I hope this is work related.
It is. I suspect there are other dirty cops in addition to those on Cherry's list.
Why do you say that?
I found something when I checked Ling Chi's accounts,
and the cancelled accounts for the past two years.
More monthly withdrawals from ATM,
but paid back simultaneously from the same account?
Why were the account canceled?
I don't know. But there's definitely something fishy about this one.
I confirmed one of them
is CIP Cheng Yan-wo of the Crime Unit.
Cheuk Sir is finding the others.
Let's follow up on this one
and we'll report back to him later.
I know what to do.
So it's really you.
Why? Why did you do it?
There's no turning back once you start killing.
Answer me. Say something. Explain...
I have nothing to explain.
Mui, what are you doing?
Cheuk Sir called a meeting, Lok didn't show up
and you called in sick.
What are you two up to?
Go away. Leave me alone.
Do you know what you're doing?
Of course I do.
You'll blow your cover if you wait here for Lok.
We have a job to do. Or you don't want your job anymore?
I told you I know what I'm doing.
I won't get you in trouble. Go away.
You said you'd forget about Lok. Look at you now.
You're waiting for him like the Amah Rock.
You're obviously still hung up on him.
That's my business.
Who do you think you are?
Get out of my way.
Fine. I'll leave you alone.
We're closed.
Out of my way.
You're from Cheung Hing. What are you doing here?
Where's Lok? I need to see him.
Don't start any trouble.
You're in our way. Grab her!
Let go of me...
Gentlemen, we're not here to pick a fight.
She's a bit high and came to Sai Kung for seafood.
Let's go...are you glued to the ground?
It's OK, here's a little something for your trouble.
It's OK...let's go.
New"
Are you out of your mind?
How can you show up on Fook Wo turf?
You want to get yourself killed?
Where do you think he is?
He's not home and won't pick up the phone.
He's not at Fook Wo. Where could he be?
I'll help you find Lok.
Really? Great!
I can help you look for him,
but you must tell me what's going on.
I can't help you if I don't know a thing.
You must keep it to yourself.
OK. Tell me.
Lok is the dirty cop killer.
When the cop was killed at the tea restaurant,
Cheuk Sir had someone on his tail.
They found a dash camera in a car who captured the killer.
The way he touched the necklace is exactly the same as Lok.
Are you sure? Is there a mistake?
Definitely no mistake.
The necklace is the one Lok wears.
He told me Pak-key gave it to him.
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
I wish. I tested him.
I gave him the name of a dirty cop
hoping to lure the killer into action.
He was there, I pulled off his mask and it was Lok.
Knowing Cheuk Sir, he'll have him arrested.
If Cheuk Sir tries to bring him in,
Lok will resist arrest,
you suppose Cheuk Sir will shoot him?
Will Lok shoot Cheuk Sir?
It's hard to say. Cheuk Sir is tough on the perps.
Lok won't go easy on cops either.
Nothing must happen to them.
What do you want to do?
I don't know. I'm so confused.
I want to help him, but I don't know how.
At least I must find him.
I'll ask him why he killed those cops.
I can stop him.
I want him to stop killing.
Don't worry, I'll help you find him.
A dummy?
I will avenge you.
Here, the last dish is fried clams.
Looks great!
Smells good too.
I didn't know Brother Foon-hei can cook.
Of course. I run a seafood restaurant.
You're doing such a good job to protect me,
the least I can do is cook for you.
You bet.
Come, let's eat while the food is hot.
Entertainment City, watch Brother Foon-hei,
so I can take a nap.
We must protect Brother Foon-hei, we can’t sleep.
But I'm really sleepy.
Get up...
No, I can’t stand it.
Get up...
Hey, chili!
Miss Leung, I wish to see Johnny.
What is it?
Chum Foon-hei called. He wants to see you.
He knew we want to kill him.
He has been hiding for so long, why would he show up now?
He wants to talk about the client list.
He hacked our clients?
Will you see him?
Fire! Fire?
Fire! Where?
Let's go! Where is it?
Brother Foon-hei is gone.
What?
Must be the seafood.
No wonder we were sound asleep.
Why did he do it?
Call Cheuk Sir!
Hello?
Cheuk Sir? It's me. We got trouble.
What is it?
We were drugged.
We woke up and Chum Foon-hei is gone.
Take it easy. He may be in danger.
Try to locate him.
Look around, remember the golden hour.
See if someone took him.
Call me if you find the route and license plate.
Yes, Sir!
We lost Chum Foon-hei.
Do you know where he is?
Madam!
Gather around, everyone.
Hoi, please come over here.
You must have heard about Ben Sir.
I'm sure it'll be a major blow to you.
But I trust the Hong Kong Police are professionals.
We must all learn from this.
Don't be seduced and enforce the law strictly.
I'm sure you can handle the situation.
I'm not worried about morale.
Operation wise, no one has replaced Ben Sir,
I will double up as your team commander for the time being.
You will report to me directly.
Understand? Yes, Madam!
Keep up the good work.
Don't let negative emotions affect your work, OK?
It's lunch time, work hard, play hard.
Let's have lunch together.
Help! This is Foon-hei. Polar Pool Room.
Thank you, Madam!
Hoi, are you coming?
I'm busy. Excuse me.
Heng! Long time no see.
Either you don't call me or you want to meet at the pier.
What's wrong with you, Hoi?
That's because Hong Sir is a busy man
I don't wish to bother you.
Besides, good friends don't need to see each other all the time.
If you need help, I won't say no, right?
You're a pal indeed. You can read my mind.
Yes, I need your help with something very important.
What is it?
Chum Foon-hei is being hunted down by an international organization.
He came to me for protection last month.
Someone just took him from the safe house.
I received his SOS message.
I have the location. I need backup.
Why didn't you report it?
The head of CIB is dirty.
I can't ask for the hit team.
That's why you need OCT B?
Yes.
Come on, let's talk on the way.
Wait till I finish the black ball.
Chum Foon-hei, you're quite good.
Can I interest you in a game?
You still want to play? You're going to die.
I'm way past the safety line.
I have nothing to fear.
But you're going to die.
How did you get my client information?
Because I'm very capable.
Why bother to ask me now?
Let's figure out how to pick up the pieces.
$300M?
$500M?
I'll spare your life.
I can even kill Ngai Tak-shun for you,
and give you his position within the organization.
This is my best offer. Happy now?
Is that your trump card?
You must have something better.
No more games or I'll blow your head off.
You don't even know what I have on you.
Aren't you worried?
Police! Drop the gun!
Not that I don't like your offer,
but I gave everything to the Police.
I can't work with you.
Chum Foon-hei, you double crosser!
Johnny, I don't know if they'll make the charges stick in court.
But when your clients' data come to light
and they put a price on your head,
I doubt if you'll be calm like me and play pool.
If I were to die, I'll bury you with me.
Mr. Chum, we need you down at HQ for a statement.
Hong Sir, can I have a word with Cheuk Sir?
Heng, I'll hand him back later.
Cheuk Sir, thanks for taking care of him.
All criminals will go the same way.
You'll be next. You won't be left out.
I knew it when I made that choice.
Before my judgment day,
I'll make sure Ngai Tak-shun goes before me.
I knew it when I made that choice.
Before my judgment day,
I'll make sure Ngai Tak-shun goes before me.
If you want to avenge your wife,
I promise I'll personally arrest Ngai Tak-shun.
I'll put him behind bars, can you stop now?
No law can punish someone like him.
There's no death penalty in Hong Kong.
He will pay with his life for my wife's death.
Only death can truly punish him.
Murder is inexcusable.
But innocent people are dead because you want your revenge.
I don't care.
As long as I can send Ngai Tak-shun to hell.
I don't mind if I lose my life.
I don't care who else becomes collateral damage.
I'm prepared to go to hell.
This way, Brother Foon-hei.
Have a seat, Brother Foon-hei.
Man Li, I'm glad we can finally meet.
A toast to our partnership.
Yes!
Johnny is dead in 3 days like you have predicted.
Brother Foon-hei, you have a divine plan.
I can predict we'd make a lot of money together.
Good! Have you replaced Johnny?
I run a privately run business.
Laundering your money in Fook Wo's name will be a much better offer.
I like working with someone with ability and ambition.
I'm counting on you to launder my money.
No problem.
Mr. Ngai, you don't seem too pleased with the outcome.
Well...it was the plan to gobble up Johnny's share.
I just didn't expect Chum Foon-hei to preempt me.
Victor, you have taken over Mr. White's client list.
You'll win over the others soon.
Scarlett, you know me too well.
Anyway, let's celebrate in advance.
Cheers! Cheers!
Man, I really must thank you.
You've been a great help to me working for Johnny.
I get paid double to do this job.
Now that Johnny is dead.
I need you back. You'll be my agent.
No problem. But what will the organization think?
I now call the shots in Asia.
I can decide on something so trivial.
That's true.
Please enjoy the refreshments outside.
I'd like a word with Scarlett in private.
OK!
What is it?
You don't look so good.
I thought you have a fever, but you don't.
Are you feeling OK?
I'm just tired from all the work.
I'll have more time now that I'm no longer the agent.
Victor, why did you have me replaced?
Scarlett, you knew from the start I didn't want you to be the agent.
I thought you did everything for Cheung Hing and the Ngai family.
But I guess you're doing it for me too.
I ought to thank Chum Foon-hei.
You said you wanted time off,
but I dragged you back after a few days
and you never had any rest.
Scarlett, its time you get a good rest.
To you, I want to be a man of my word.
You always have been. Thank you.
Penguins are distinctly black and white and stand up straight.
They always go straight and never go astray.
They remind me of you.
I can't help but send you this picture.
What are you doing here?
The picture you sent is so cute.
I had to come see for myself.
I plan to look around. Want to join me?
Sure!
Of all the attractions, my favorite
is not the penguins or dolphins, but the whale shark.
I never knew why I like it so much.
But I just found the answer recently.
Whale sharks are big, but they don't hurt other fish.
They only feed on microorganisms
and do not hang out with their own kind.
They're a lone wolf and live a carefree life
Like you, I often come here to look at the whale shark.
Scarlett, you've been a UC for so long,
has it ever occurred to you UCs and the handler are like whale sharks?
They're a lone wolf with no friends.
They seem to be alone in this world.
If you like a carefree life,
you still have the right to choose.
In the picture you took with the penguins,
I saw the happiest smile I have ever seen on your face since we met.
If you want, you can wear that smile every day.
You know me quite well.
Thank you.
I hope you'll get to know yourself better.
Choose to do things you enjoy.
Pick the path suitable for you.
