Loving You (1995) - full transcript

A tale of a man re-evaluating his life and being given a second chance. Liu (Ching Wan Lau) plays a cop whose personality leaves much to be desired. His neglect pushes his wife (Carmen Lee) to an affair. When Liu is shot by a gang boss, his wife - pregnant with her lover's child - comes back to his side to nurse him. Liu is forced to do some soul-searching.

It's tasteless, I'm sure Quan bought it,

get someone else
to buy the takeaway next time.

You buy old electrical things?
My radio works good.

Look! I just want forty dollars for it.

Just forty!

Please leave.

Come on! Just forty dollars.

What are you doing? Get rid of her!

Can I claim this as expenses?

Claim expenses?! Damn.

Forget it!



Alright! Thirty eight dollars!

Thanks, thirty eight.
Two dollars for your change.

Here's your change, take it. Thanks...

Chang, can you hear me?

Chang...

Watch the grey vehicle at the back, Chang.

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Watch the grey vehicle at the back, over.

All he does is yell at us!

Chief, Amy's inside.

Open it.

Where's the goods?

Hold on.



Strip.

He won't tell her to get naked.

Are you serious? We've known each other.

This isn't our first transaction.

Sorry...

You want to check out my figure?

Should I keep stripping?

Tell Xiaohuang to go upstairs.

Calling Xiaohuang...

Xiaohuang...

I can't hear you, please repeat.

Calling Xiaohuang, go upstairs right now.

Calling Xiaohuang...

Upstairs! Everyone!

Catch the two in the car.

Freeze, police!

You're in big problem!

Take the stash.

Don't.

Don't move.

Calm down. We're Customs officers.

Shut up. Chief, the two guys claim
they are Customs.

Please put the gun down.

You can call the HQ and ask.

Shut up. Chief, what now?

Ignore them.

Police.

Just crack it open!

Police.

Call an ambulance!

Yes.

Xiaoli, you alright?

Xiaoli...

Xiaoli, are you ok?

Xiaoli.

Freeze!

I've been keeping a close watch on you.

Shit!

You again! You just don't give up.

You can't run this time!

See how long you can bear.

Crap!

Who dropped the stuff?

Chief.

What happened?

What's wrong with you lot?

How can I write this report?

Xiaohuang's walkie talkie
had interference,

otherwise Amy would be fine.

I guess Xiaohuang isn't lying.

I've received several calls
from the Customs,

why did you beat them up?

I've been working on this case
for a long time,

I couldn't let those two bozos ruin it.

Me and them...

I'm not sure whether
the others were involved.

Write me a report as soon as possible,

I need to pass that to the Customs.

Yes, sir.

Shit! He cries like a girl!

Where's Xiaohuang?

In the bathroom.

Tell him to see me right away.

Your wife's on the line.

Come in.

Chief.

What? Speak.

Can you pick me up after work tonight?

What is it?

We're going to eat at mom's.

Why?

I told you about it last week,

there's something I need to tell you,
come pick me up.

Hold on.

Speak up.

How should I write the report
about Xiaoli?

I'll go on my own then, bye.

What did they teach you in the academy?

That's easy enough,

don't you understand?

I understand. Thank you, Chief.

I'm eating with a client tonight.

I can't.

Why not?

Family business.

Very well.

Hai, I need a favour.

The kid you arrested last time
for drug possession,

he's my nephew.

He had nothing to do with it,

he was being set-up.

That's for the judge to decide.

Come on, help me out.

Why make a big deal out of it?

Hua talked to me,

he hopes that we could let his nephew go.

I didn't promise him anything,

and brought this to your attention
right away.

He's obstructing justice,

come with me to the Crime Squad
to take a statement.

He's Amy's boyfriend,
works at the control room.

I'll take care of
Amy's funeral arrangements.

I'm going to the mortuary, my condolences.

I'll call you later.

They planned to get married next month.

Is he coming or not? Let's eat.

Let's wait for a little longer.

This is his wife.

Tell him that
we're waiting for him to eat.

Please ask him to call, thanks.

Whisky.

Sorry.

Two whisky.

Hold on.

Excuse me.

Beer, thanks.

Is that real?

And yours?

Excuse me, thanks.

What are you having?

A snack.

How about a free beer?

Another time.

Mom, are you tired?

Go to bed, I'm off.

Aren't you going to wait for him?

If he calls,

tell him that I've gone home.

Let me walk you out.

Don't worry, go to bed.

Why keep paging me non-stop?

Enjoying your nap? License please.

You worked late, sir?

Do you need my license?

No. Please pull off the road
if you want to take a nap.

Don't block the traffic,

drive away.

Wife: Call back home, urgent

Police station: Urgent, report at once

What's going on?

Don't know.

What are you looking at?

What are you traffic policemen doing here?

There's no traffic accident here.

You want to transfer to this unit?

Sir.

Come here.

What's happening?

Hua has gone nuts!
He's in the toilet, holding a pistol

He wants to see you.

Give me a bullet proof vest.

Yes.

Hua.

I'm coming in.

Hua.

Hua, I'm not armed,

we can work this out.

You wanted to see me...

Damn it!
I've been a cop for twenty or so years.

This toilet has always been so dirty.

The tissue paper is stolen every day.

Nobody gives a damn! Shit!

And you pride yourselves
as a disciplined service.

Look! You piss all over the place.

Can't you lot piss INTO the bowl?

Don't know what you people are doing.

What's with all the gear?

The gun and the bullet proof vest.

I've been a cop for twenty or so years,

and I've never worn a bullet proof vest,

nor I've ever fired a gun.

Why would I try to shoot you?

I just want to tell you
that I had a good record,

until your complaint.

I've lost my pension and
provident fund because of you.

Change into a large one.

Come in.

What is it, Chief?

How did you write the report?

I did it as you told the other day.

There's so much you could do,

but you had to deal with that Xiaoli.

I was trying to save him.

You think you are a saviour?

He died of internal wounds
because you broke his ribs.

Do you know that?

Junkies have fragile bones.

God damn it!

Wait for your transfer! Get out!

Out!

Yes, sir.

Hai, I'd like to have dinner with you.

I need to talk to you.

I'm on duty this evening.

You still need to eat.

I haven't seen you for a few days,
I've to talk to you.

Talk now.

If not now, wait for tomorrow.

I beg you.

Let me talk to you for once.

Where?

Parking, sir?

No, thanks.

But your car is blocking the road.

Police, tow it if you have guts.

You don't have to be so smug!

Do you have a reservation, sir?

Yes.

Not feeling well?

You can tell me.

Have you forgotten?

What?

Have you forgotten that

we had our first date in this restaurant,

the same table.

Are you done?

I went to the doctor today.

The doctor said...I'm pregnant.

You must have forgotten about the pills.

Are you out of your mind?

What's the matter with you?

Is there anything else you've forgotten?

Please tell me now.

The baby isn't yours.

Come again?

I'm moving back with my mom.

What are you looking at?

Stop it.

I'm sorry.

Do you want something to eat?

Let's go.

Are you alright?

What would you like to order?

Give him two beers.

I'm going to the ladies' room.

Come out!

Whoever wants to kill me, come out!

Move away...

Careful...

Slowly...

Faster.

We'll take over now.

Move away.

We'll take over now.

Careful...

Move away.

Get the neuro surgeon.
Blood pressure check.

The bullet entered the skull,

it's lodged in here. This one is clearer.

Sir.

How's he?

He got shot in the head,

and is in brain surgery now.

The bullet is inside his skull,
he's in surgery.

We're not sure about what happened.

Doctor, how did it go?

It went fairly well,

the patient's stabilised.

But it's still critical,

he will be sent to the ICU
for observation.

He's very lucky.

The bullet entered the forehead,

it traveled through the nerves
in between the eyes,

and then it shot through the sinus,

upper and lower jaws, and the tongue.

The bullet stopped at the lower jaw.

His brain isn't damaged too much.

You could say it's a miracle.

What now? You wet your bed again?

Why don't you ask for a bedpan?

So annoying!

Don't move.

What?

If you continue, I won't clean up for you.

Stop moving.

Let me.

Who are you?

I'm his wife. Sorry about it.

I'll be back later
to take his blood pressure,

we're already busy as it is,

and he's not our only patient.

The true facts behind
the detective getting shot

These are tabloids,
no one will believe them.

The doctor said I can recover soon,

I can go back the way I was.

Great!

When can I go back to work?

Your health is our priority.
Get some rest. I'm off.

Bye, Mrs. Liu.

Bye.

You don't have to do this.

You're pitying me, right?

Leave.

Why is he like that?

Thanks.

The bullet went through his sinus
and tongue,

his sense of taste and smell
have been marred.

that's why he couldn't smell or taste.

Will that change?

Very hard.

Thanks.

My lawyer has taken care

of your immigration application to Canada.

Under these circumstances,

how can I leave him?

You're reluctant to put him behind?

It's not that.

You pity him?

Don't know. I'm not sure what I'm doing.

I've no idea.

I'll take care of you.

I can assure you a happy life.

Don't do this because of the baby,

this isn't your responsibility.

I know.

He's being discharged tomorrow.

How much more do you owe him?

Smells great...feels nice

United Nations will discuss next month

the one billion in
refugee debt payments to Hong Kong.

In Kuala Lumpur,
the national convention discusses ...

Is it too loud?

What's wrong?

Muscle spasms.

Is it here?

Don't worry.

Better now?

Trouble.

It happens often,

several times a night.

Why don't you go to the doctor?

There's no need.

What do you mean?
What if something happens?

You should see the doctor.

Again? Left or right leg?

The baby kicks.

Hello?

Hold on.

This report was sent from the medical.

It says that Liu Zhenhai has recovered,

he can go back to work anytime.

The whole department feels embarrassed

about the whole incident.

According to his report,

he received a source,
and went there to investigate.

The tabloids made up those stories.

Then tell him to
come back to work next week.

But Internal Investigations
will keep looking into it,

if that's not the case, fire him.

Yes, sir.

Morning, Chief.

Morning.

Drive on.

Morning.

Morning.

Morning.

I've brought some pastries, enjoy.

You don't like pastries?

We do.

Go buy some drinks, my treat.

Alright, I'll go.

Welcome back, Chief.

Welcome back!

Thanks!

Think carefully about your answers.

Answer what the officer asked you.

Tell us what you remember,
don't try to trick us.

That night,
our officer Liu looked for you,

did you two go out to eat?

If he looked you up not regarding a case.

That means he's neglected duty,
and likely be fired.

Think it over carefully.

That night, he went to the bar
you worked at,

is he trying to date you?

I got a lead the night before,

and I led him to Queen's Cafe
to nab the suspect.

He's not trying to date me.

Excuse me.

Do you have a staff named Hua?

He is over there.

I didn't do anything technically wrong
last time,

but I feel uneasy.

Here's a cheque,
it's only 200,000 dollars,

it's my compensation;

Though it isn't a lot.

Come on, say something.

I can't talk,
just had an operation of the throat

Yes, I'll take it

Alright then, take care.

Don't move back to your mother's.

What for? It's so far away.

I won't...

I'll change.

I didn't know better then.

Although the baby's issue does bother me,

but...we...

Hello?

Don't hang up.

I'm heading out.

Have you thought it over?

I won't leave with you.

Why not?

I'm returning this.

Will he accept you?

He got shot, it was all worth it.

I'm off.

Where were you?

I went grocery shopping,
I'm going to cook.

The vendor said the vegetables
don't have pesticide,

and I bought roast chicken.

I mean, I bought a chicken
and will roast it.

Come on, let's go.

Alright...all done.

Almost dropped it.

Let's put the roast chicken
in front of you.

Come on, dig in.

Have a piece of this,
this piece of chicken is nice.

Eat up! This is nice.

Fried fish.

Look! It's all crispy.

It's yummy! Eat up.

And some vegetables.

It's good for the skin
and helps digestion.

Come on, eat up.

Why are you so nice all of a sudden?

Alright, don't cry anymore.

Stop it! I know you're angry.

You just didn't dare to say it first.

Eat up.

Fine! If you don't want to eat.

You're always like this.

How would you accept this baby?

Think it over! If you're clear,
come back for me.

Leave! Don't come back again!

Having an affair is one thing,
but having his baby?!

What are you?

I...

You told us to come here,
but wouldn't talk.

What are you trying to play?

Tell us what info you have.
Stop wasting time!

You've quite a criminal record here,

work with us, or you're doomed.

What are you doing?

The police is beating me up!

Get up!

Stand up! Face the wall.

Face to the wall. Don't move!

Shit! Call the ambulance.

Police. Kick it open.

Careful. Duck...

Chief, what should we do?

Calm down...

Be careful, everyone.

Police!

Chief, it's clear.

Clear.

Clear.

Clear.

Take all these away.

Yes.

Should we go back?

Chief.

What for?

You've a running nose.

You drive.

Sure!

Chief, hop in.

Hurry...

We've located an ambulance
in Clearwater Bay.

Three paramedics were killed,

they could be strangled to death.

The suspect is still at large.

This is the nasal cartilage,

there's an opening here.

When you had the operation,

we expected that it would heal,

but from the way it looks,
that's unlikely.

That's why
the liquid inside your brain would...

Sorry?

The liquid inside your brain

leaks from this opening,

and it causes dizziness and spasms.

What else do I have?

Can you tell me once and for all?

You were in critical condition
at that moment.

All we tried to do was to save you.

But you need a second operation,

to stitch up the opening.

Or it would be dangerous
if the germs enter the brain.

So my brain's leaking?

You could say so.

Crap!

Captain Liu.

Sorry, Captain Liu.

We work for the Kowloon Crime Squad,

the suspect who shot you ran away

this morning on his way to the hospital.

Our supervisors worry for your safety,

please don't go home for now,

and we're here to protect you.

Please come with us.

Don't worry, it's safe here.

Give us a call if you need anything.

Who's looking for Mr. Liu?

Pager Owner.

Your password?

Three.

Jun said Fatty is having lunch
with your wife,

told you to come alone.

Where are they?

No. 77 Broadcast Drive,
get there as soon as possible,

or you'll never see your wife again.

Chief.

Alright, stop reading.

Cuff yourselves!

Hurry! I'm not kidding.

Cuff yourselves!

Fatty

Honey...

Help!

Help me, dear.

Run!

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

What about you? Does it hurt?

Oh God! You're having contractions now?

Dear.

Leave her alone...

I'm here.

Attention all units! Seal off this place!

What on earth? Shooting a movie?

You dare to shoot?

Why not?

Damn! Call the Fire Services.

Call the Fire Services!

Yes, sir. Call the Fire Services.

Help!

My wife's having a baby.

Call an ambulance!

Hurry.

She's having a baby!

Move over!

Faster.

You're fine! Don't worry.

Come on.

I'm going crazy, dear.

Hang in there.

Listen up! Don't think that you can...

Move away!

Having a baby...

That's all he could say the whole day!
So annoying.

Maybe his brain surgery didn't go well,

he's acting a bit strange.

Exactly.

Nurse, is the mother and baby alright?

What?

Idiot.

Where are you going?

Where's the nursery?

I don't believe I can't find the baby.

Let me hold you.

Let me check whether you've a peepee!
Wow, definitely.

You're heavy.

Blowing bubbles?
Great, it means you've developed lungs

Sorry about it,
I wish you a wonderful life.

Let me hold the baby.

So much hair.

Boy?

How heavy?

Eight pounds?

Gotta weigh more than that.

He feels like over ten pounds.

Strong lungs,

I'm sure he'll be good at
blowing up balloons.

You say that for every baby.

Is he circumcised?

He's crying...alright fine...
no circumcision.

I had one, what's to be afraid of?

Alright, good boy.

Good boy.

You're great.

Don't cry.
