We managed to put Chu Tu behind bars,
but the operation was a costly one.

You destroyed the squatter village,

and the government
had to relocate the families

and pay damages.

During the operation, you damaged
the shopping centre as well.



We paid well over a million
for the chandelier alone.

The taxpayers know
police work doesn't come cheaply.

But they don't expect to pay the cost
of someone's heroics.

Why didn't you use the stairs?
Did you have to destroy that chandelier?

Do you always have to be different?

You're right.
The force doesn't need superstars.

We need disciplined policemen.

I wasn't expecting a promotion.

Ka Kui, the operation
succeeded through team effort,

not just because of you.

You should be grateful
we didn't fire you.

The bosses wanted you disciplined

for holding me hostage.

I managed to talk them out of it.

I'm very grateful.

I worry about your individualism.

You're just a police officer.
Don't forget that point.

As of today, you're back in uniform.

You'll be assigned wherever needed.

You mean he'll be an errand boy?

I think you'll be very busy.

What else do you do
besides giving out tickets?

Calling all units.

There's been a serious road accident
at the Industrial Park.

Traffic is at a standstill.

All units in the area,
please respond.

May, go home.
I'm working now.

Just think of me
as a member of the public

who wants to talk to a policeman.

About what?

I think you look very smart in uniform.

Stop it. I'm on duty.

I've brought you a cold drink.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir!

— I can't drink here.
— Go on, you need a break.

If I have a drink,
pretty soon I'll need the toilet.

Come on.

May, I'll get into trouble.

Hello, superhero!
You still haven't been sacked?

You're lucky you're not in jail with Chu.

You think so?

Three Swiss doctors said
I had only three months to live.

It's called compassionate release.

Three months can pass quickly.
Very quickly.

My boss will be alive
long after you're dead.

Don't you know you're threatening him?

Really? In that case, he can sue me.

Just be careful! Drive on.

Ka Kui?

Ka Kui, Chu Tu is out of jail.

I know. So?

You already knew?
That's good, then.

If you'd never nabbed a thief,
who would you have to be scared of?

Just remember, there are 250,000
Royal Hong Kong Police at your back.

Bill, are there really
250,000 police in Hong Kong?

We're always recruiting new blood.
Didn't you see our newspaper ad?

What are you waiting for?
Go on patrol!

Hey, I've talked to Raymond.

He said you could carry a gun,
even after work.

I'm very happy tonight.

The show and dinner were great.

— You don't seem very happy.
— Really? I am happy.

I wish you had enjoyed it
as much as I did.

— Are you worried about Chu?
— No. But I'm just being careful.

— Maybe next week...
— Hey, superhero!

Off duty already?

— What are you doing here?
— I can park here.

You can't give me a ticket.

Yeah, you must have a nice view
from Flat B of the first floor.

— Am I right?
— Go upstairs.

How did you find this address?

It's amazing what information
you can get with money.

People will do anything for money,
you know?

What do you mean?

There's a narrow stairwell
in this building.

If there ever happened to be a fire,

it would spread quickly
through the building.

Because Of the narrow access,

the fire brigade couldn't get in there.

Your girlfriend's cute.
You'd better keep a close eye on her.

If she were to get her pretty ass burnt,
it'd ruin her marriage prospects.

Bastard!

Oh, hero, I'm so happy!

Sorry.

It's my fault really.

Policemen like me have
lots of enemies. You face threats.

I'm not scared.

If you had no enemies, that would
mean you'd never caught a thief.

Think you could stay
somewhere else for a while?

Don't worry about me.
They're just morons.

No. We'd just stand out
while they stayed hidden.

Okay, then. I'll move to my aunt's
and hide out for a while.

Don't worry too much about it.

But if you drop a vase on him,
I'll definitely be the dead one.

May-

Auntie.

You're on your own?
Where's Ka Kui?

He's still on duty.

It's okay, I can manage.

I'm not against you dating a policeman,

but I don't want him to spend
too much time on his work.

He's stubborn, too.

But a man should do his duty.

That's why he has lots of enemies
and you have to move back home.

Actually, I don't worry at all.

That way, he doesn't need
to worry about me.

He ought to worry about you.

— Who are they?
— They're the ones from last time.

I guess superhero isn't here.

Wait for me in the restaurant.

Right.

— What do you want?
— We have a score to settle.

I just want to know where you're going.

It has nothing to do with her.

You must be her mother.
Am I right?

Bastard!

You call me a bastard?

You're wrong!
I'm the bastard son of a bastard!

— I'm not afraid of you.
— Don't waste time with him. Let's go.

Auntie, why has your daughter
fallen for a cop?

That could be dangerous.

Living on the 19th floor
is dangerous, too.

What if you took a fall
while cleaning the windows?

It would take
more than glue to fix you!

Go ahead!

Don't be silly.

— Go away!
— Get off!

You bastard!

Don't grab my hair!

You're hurting me!

You bitch!

Easy, she's just a girl.

Count yourself lucky.
If you were a man, you'd be dead!

— I won't forget this!
— Come on.

You just watch out!

Are you okay?

Auntie!

It's your job
that brings the bad guys here.

Look. May was badly beaten
because of you!

I've told you to stop seeing him.

Did John Ko attack you?

I started hitting him first.

He just hit me back.

And they knocked me down.

My backside still hurts.
Now I can't sit down.

How did they know you'd be here?

They followed her, that's how.

They're watching us
from across the street.

I wonder what's next.

Ka Kui, don't!

He should go and scold them.

If it's as easy as all that,
then I'll be relieved.

Idiot! Are you crazy?

What else do you do
besides bullying women?

It's my favorite hobby.

Get the bastard!

You know the law, don't you?

They may have threatened her,
but an arrest requires evidence.

Don't you know you're a policeman?

I got carried away.

That's not a good reason!

He reacted like anyone else would.

He's not anyone else.
He's a police officer.

What you've done is disgraceful!
It's a disgrace to the force.

I don't think so. If a policeman fails to
respond to a personal threat, that's a disgrace.

— And it disgraces the law too.
— You're a show—off.

You won't let us forget you arrested Chu.
How can I explain this to the chief?

You don't have to. I quit.

You think that will solve the problem?

Why not?
This is probably the best solution.

I'll leave now.

Thank you for your support
in times past.

Goodbye.

Ka Kui.

If that's your last word...

then try to find a less stressful job.

BYE-bye.

I will.

You think you can do anything you want
just because you're cops!

Don't you know the law?

You can't beat me up just like that!
Kill me if you can.

Shut up and sign this.

I'm not signing anything.
No way!

I'll sue you for every penny
you've got.

I've got lots of money.
I'll get a lawyer. I'll sue you!

What?

No!

See? You saw this officer
try to assault me.

He wants to beat me up like before,
when he hit me and broke my glasses.

You'll pay for that.
Would you dare to beat me up here?

Come on.
What are you waiting for?

Come on. I'm going to sue you.
You're going to jail.

These youngsters have no patience.

Bill, why didn't you ask him to stay?

You should have said so!

I thought you meant
throw him out of here.

Now that I know what
that gesture means, I'll remember it.

Ka Kui, what's the matter?

You don't want me
to be a policeman, do you?

Of course I do. I'm proud of you.

What do I have to show for
all my time as a cop? Just enemies.

There you go!
That means you've done your job well.

If a cop has no enemies,
there can only be one reason.

He hasn't caught any crooks.

I'm glad they're out to frighten me.

It proves you're a tough, good cop.

Thanks for that.

But I've had enough.

I resigned today.

— Really?
— Are you disappointed?

You're really quitting?

I'm so happy!

Calm down.

What's with her?

May, all these years I haven't
treated you as well as I should have.

It's my fault.

I have three month's holiday.
Let's go somewhere else to relax!

Ka Kui, you really mean it?
Where to, then?

— Bali.
— Good idea!

We haven't travelled in years.

Right, so let's go.

It always feels good
to fly on a plane.

— That'll be $5,540, please.
— Right.

I'll see you outside.

— Credit card?
— Sure.

Here's our catalogue, sir.

Thank you. Bye.

What clothes should I take?

You won't need any in Bali.

Don't be silly!

I can't believe we're going.

I just hope they don't rip us off.

They're a big company.
They're trustworthy.

Well, it's paid for now.
Let's cross our fingers.

— Fay!
— Ka Kui.

— Long time no see! Is this your area?
— Yes. What's up?

We've received a bomb threat here.

— Really?
— Yeah. Can you help us out?

— All right, then.
— Thanks.

Ka Kui!

I'll just take a look, all right?

Sun.

Just in time. What's up?

We got a call about a bomb.

Are you sure it's real?

I don't think the guy was kidding.
He told us to clear the area.

We have ten minutes.

ReaHy?

The manager said he's nuts.

Start clearing the building now.

There are too many people.

If it's a hoax, who'll be to blame?

I'm used to getting an earful.

If it is real, we'll endanger lives.

That's true.
What do we do?

Consider it real.

Clear the building.
Call headquarters.

Where's the fire alarm?

Over there.

Ka Kui.

We're gonna set off
the fire alarm. Come on!

— Your baton.
— But...!

Come on! I'll take responsibility.

Follow me.

Don't panic. Don't worry.

Come back.
I've opened the till already.

Have they paid?

What's going on?

It's nothing.

What should we do?
They're not taking any notice.

Ka Kui!

Don't stay here. Go on!

Your attention please.

Evacuate the building.

Everybody
please leave immediately.

There's a fire in the building.

Please leave now.

Please leave in an orderly manner.

Everybody outside.

Be careful.

What's going on?
Why is the alarm on?

What about our business?

— Fay.
– What's up?

Get them out of here.

This is for your own safety. Go now!

What about you?

I won't be long. You go first.

Check the building.

I can't understand this.
It's crazy!

— Who's in charge?
— You talk to them.

Please leave now.
The police will take care of it.

Ka Kui. Ka Kui!

I'm all right. You go home first.

Hello, sir.

Who made the call?

We received a bomb threat,
but we didn't know if it was a hoax.

Who set off the alarm?

It was me, sir.

You may leave.

Why did you do it?

Sir, when I was
in the Police Academy,

I was taught that
public safety comes first,

so I set off the alarm.

Do you think
you're indispensable?

Superintendent, there's no fire,

but your men cleared the building.

Right.
The Bomb Disposal Unit is coming.

You won't be needed now.

Right. I hope this isn't a hoax.

So do I, Uncle Bill.

Raymond, they want
to see the head man.

Shall I go?

— Where's the Bomb Disposal Unit?
— On their way.

What a mess.

Did I do the right thing?

How do I do know?
Don't ask me.

Right now,
we have to wait and see.

Tell them to leave.

You can go back in very soon.

My ball!

When can we go back in?

— Now what?
— Very soon.

— Here's your ball, kiddo.
— Thank you.

Ready?

The Bomb Disposal Unit is here.

If they don't find anything,
the boss will blow a fuse.

Uncle Bill, I'm very sorry.

I'm not...

Red alert!
All units move in.

Go and fight the fire. Go on.

I suppose the good news is
nobody got hurt.

What are the losses?

The insurance will cover it.

I'm more worried about
the damage to our image.

I've asked the press to cooperate,
and I'm sure they will.

But who did it?
And why our company?

It may not be against us.

It could be someone
who's mentally disturbed.

There's a man on the line, sir.

— He says he planted the bomb.
— Have it put through.

Put him through.

Hello? Hold on.

Listen, we planted the bomb
in your shopping centre.

We want 510 million.

Pay up or your other properties
will get bombed.

Let me talk to him.

All right.

But it's a huge amount of money.

We'll need to call a board meeting.

You've got 24 hours.
And don't call the police.

— What do we do, then?
— Must be some kind of hoax.

Yes. So what do we do?

Call the police.

We pay enough taxes.
The police should do something for us.

— Get me through to the chief.
— Yes.

Raymond, you were extremely lucky.

It's amazing that
no—one was hurt in the explosion.

Thank God for that.

And the Chu case... well done!

— Thank you. But it wasn't just me.
— That's right.

You've proven yourself.

You should handle this case.
Do you agree?

— Sure.
— Of course.

This is a very tough case.

That's why they gave it to us.

Who in our department
do you think can solve it?

You're the only one.

I want a better idea.

It's definitely not me.

Maybe we could bring back
somebody who's on leave.

Do you mean somebody like Ka Kui?

He has substantial experience.

I don't know.

He's unorthodox, impulsive.

He'll only give us trouble.
We have to bear the responsibility.

I agree he's a little bit rash,
but underneath he's a good cop.

I won't let him do it.

But if you think he's our man,
you go and find him.

Let's see who's the boss.

— Over there.
— Here?

Fasten your seat belt, please.

I forgot the sunscreen!

Buy it when we get there.

Did you get your passport
when you were younger?

Put out a call
for Detective Chan Ka Kui.

Sure.

Your attention, please.

Will Chan Ka Kui...

Let me see.
No, don't look!

— It's cute.
— It's horrible.

...Ka Kui please Contact us.

That's you. Yeah.

— What's up?
— I don't know.

I won't be long.

— Are you Mr. Chan?
—Yeah.

I'm afraid there seems to be
a problem with your passport.

ReaHy?

It'll just be a quick check.

What's going on?

I'll be back right away.

Hurry!

Ol
