Napping Kid (2018) - full transcript
The financial analysis of a Chinese IT firm has been stolen, and a senior executive at the investment bank that wrote it must pay a ransom before the confidential report is released to the ...
It's all yours
Did you drink it? No, you haven't!
Come on, let's drink!
Cheers!
I'm not afraid of you!
Calling me bluff?
Come on!
- Open it!
- Let's do it!
Open it!
Who's playing?
How about you play, and he drinks?
Great!
Just drink half of it
Drink it!
Drink it for your girl!
Drink it!
Bottoms up!
A bet's a bet!
Bottoms up!
Down it!
Dylan Chik, you suck!
Help him pose!
Okay, here we go
Look flirty
What's going on?
Check his pocket
What's the password?
Look at the camera!
- Ready
- Look over here!
"What's more dangerous?
Love or crime?"
"Dylan Chik"
Sorry, I know I woke you up
I have a favor to ask
Can you come back to the office earlier?
Only you can help me
I'll wait for you at your desk
She only sees me as her backup plan now
Look at her. She's acting all cute
And she texts me with all these emojis
Shek Siu-yu is really too much sometimes
- Good morning
- What can I do?
Should I ignore her?
Of course not
I have a crush on her
but I'm too scared to tell her
It's not too early
That's good
So this is what happened
Speak up
I'm Tong Fu
Senior Inspector of Commercial Crime Bureau
I've been working in the force
for almost 30 years
I've seen it all
But there's someone that up till now...
I'm still afraid of
This is my ex-wife
Irene
Has it been 5 minutes already?
I told you it's IBD
Did you take the stairs?
I told you it's IBD, not LED
The company downstairs does trading
Just press 30 in the elevator
This way
Long time no see
What happened to your hand?
- Action!
- Yes, sir!
- Fuck!
- Freeze!
I got hurt catching a thief
Take this!
Don't let him run away!
Or were you just being careless?
This way
I said this way
Fuck!
Your heels are getting higher
Be careful not to trip
Don't worry. I'm used to it
Wait over there
We are ready
What is he doing?
My intern is dividing the 300 flyers
Into individual stacks of 50 by height
So he doesn't have to count
Are you serious?
It's him
Irene
Come on in
You must be Mr. Tong
This is my boss, John
We invited you over because
we need your advice on something
Thank you
We got an email this morning
Buy a pair of reading glasses
He calls himself K Kidnapper
He claims that he has
a confidential document belonged to us
And asks for a $1 90,000 ransom
If not, he'll share the document to the public
Who'd ask for only $1 90,000?
What the hell?
Who is he?
ls it a prank?
K Kidnapper
If we don't pay, he'll share it to the public?
What document is so important?
What document is that?
It is a budget analysis
we did for a listed company
Of their financial performance
Which of course wasn't particularly good
That's why it's price sensitive
We'll announce financing plan
on the press conference on Friday
If this document leaks out
We'll be blamed for not doing our jobs
That will affect their stock price greatly
Which company is that?
Shen Jun
The Taiwanese computer manufacturer?
How did the file get stolen?
We suspect that someone hacked into our server
How many employees can access this file?
They are all in the meeting room next door
Huh?
Just the two of them?
There's one more
Have you called Makino?
I have, but still can't reach him
I will keep calling
Who last accessed the file last night?
Last night...
After I finished my work
I uploaded the file to the server. Who knows...
When I came back for work this morning
The file got deleted
What time did you upload the file
to the server last night?
Around 3am
You were still working at 3am?
I went to a karaoke bar
with some colleagues last night
Siu-yu
What's wrong?
I've got some work to finish
I'm heading back to get it done
I got home around midnight to work
You should have backups
on your server too, right?
I just asked someone to look for it
But the backup file has been deleted too
Who was it?
What's the file name?
Let me do it
Okay
This one
Okay
Nothing
Nothing at all
Huh?
Dylan Chik from IT Department
Hey
Are you Dylan Chik from IT Department?
Yeah
Who are you, uncle?
I'm from Commercial Crime Bureau
I'd like to ask if you
helped this lady locate a file?
I did
But I couldn't find it
So what?
John received a ransom note through his email
Saying that someone kidnapped that file
Someone kidnapped the entire file?
How difficult is it
To completely erase a backup file
From your company's server?
This has nothing to do with difficulty
From IT's perspective,
it's a matter of whether you know or not
But if he can hack into our server
And take the entire document
Without leaving a trace
He must be an expert
We received another email
Let's get started
The first email
Open at 6pm Thursday
The second email
Open at 1 1 pm on Thursday
And the third
At 1 pm on Friday
First, open before dinner tomorrow
Second, open before going to bed tomorrow night
And lastly open at lunch the day after tomorrow
Why need to do it three times?
If this is real, this person already knows that
We will have a press conference on Friday
What does that mean?
Come on, stop asking
And start thinking about solutions
We don't have to listen to him
Hey
Damn it!
There's nothing in it?
We got pranked
Warning
See you at Golden Forum next time!
What is Golden?
The online platform, obviously
Fuck!
ls he watching us?
He just put a code there to scare you
He already knows
if you have read it in his email
He asked us to open the email
at the indicated time
Can't we forward it?
If we forward this to another email,
that'd work, right?
If you forward to another email
He'll still know that you've read it, uncle
What kind of attitude is this?
You are so disrespectful!
Ronald
He has a point
Can I talk in private with you two?
Okay
I advise you to report
to the police immediately
The police will begin investigating
We'd like to keep this
as low profile as possible
As an investigation team
Your colleagues are
working on many different cases
You probably won't explain
all the little details
Of each and every case
to your subordinates, right?
It shouldn't be too tough to get them to
Look into this small case, right?
It's just three days
It's alright
We just ran into an expert
It's not your fault
Everyone
Officer Tong is gonna take over the case
I trust you all
But to the police, we are all suspects
I now formally request
That from now to the press conference on Friday
All of you must stay in the company's apartment
No one can leave
Are you serious?
We were planning to work overnight
For this Shen Jun project anyway
We are just moving to a nicer place to work
That's your job to rush on this project
I don't have to be here, right?
Everybody has to stay there
Let me remind you
That's for every single one of you
My colleagues will be here soon
To collect your stuff with you during lunchtime
Then take you home to pick up your belongings
Who's the one you have been trying to call?
Who's the last guy? Makino, right?
What a mess
What are you looking for?
My phone
Perhaps someone stole it and switched it off?
What's going on?
Check his pocket
What's the password?
His birthday
I left it at home
Madam, I need to use the washroom
Didn't you use it at home already?
You gotta go again?
I have a stomachache
Do you need to use it? You can go first
No, go ahead
Okay
I've locked the door
Did I get robbed?
What is it again?
Nothing
Please take off your shoes
It's usually here
No one looked through my things
I don't think I got robbed
Your house is big and tidy
Did you rent it? Or buy it?
No
I stole it
This house is unoccupied
Huh?
Just kidding
Did you believe me?
Your dad must be well off
He passed away long time ago
Let's go
Why aren't you picking it up?
That's my grand aunt
Dylan
It's Auntie Nam
Call me back if you are home
Don't make me worry, okay?
So where is your phone?
My phone...
Probably lost it at the karaoke last night
Someone sent me home last night
cause I blacked out
Look at the camera!
Look over here!
Hey!
Guys!
Remember to take him home!
Have fun, guys
Enjoy!
Phones are cheap these days. It's just
a few thousands. I will get another one
Yes, sir
Sir
Hey
What's up?
Do you remember where you put my phone
After you deleted the photo this morning?
I can't find it
Do you remember
What you looked like last night
When you were drunk
It's hilarious
Really?
I'm sending a photo to you now
I don't remember a thing from last night
I totally blacked out
- I don't even know how I got home
- You suck!
I put it back on your desk
- Right next to the present I gave you
- What?
You think it's funny?
I sent you a wrong photo!
I didn't mean to send that!
Gotta delete it!
Okay
Well anyway
Call me...
When you find the file
Even if you find your phone
I already deleted my picture
Okay
Hey!
What is this?
I will tell you later
Dylan, It's Auntie Nam again
Your phone is off, office phone went unanswered
Grandpa got an email this morning
and he's worried
I'll go to Hong Kong to see you. Bye
Please take out all your phones
What is it again?
Company phones on the left
Personal phones on the right
Every business call you make
Have to be filled in on this form
Names and numbers of the receivers
have to be recorded
You must turn on the speaker during the call
All personal phones will be confiscated
Don't bother with his
He lost his phone
And I know that
This isn't the first time you're working here
I changed the wi-fi password here
If you want to online
Please use this computer instead
Fuck! Am I in prison?
You don't get paid as much in prison
You will be compensated. Just bear with it
Please don't forget
I'm only doing this
To prove your innocence
May I remind you all
Right now, everyone of you
ls a suspect
Did you drop dead?
I've been calling you all morning
My phone is broken
Why reorganize this place?
The bed was turned into a table! Not bad!
Hey!
Where did you go the whole morning?
I went to pick up the diamond
on my engagement ring
Who let you go during office hour?
I ordered it a while ago
I thought picking it up
would be quick. Chill out
Diamond?
Can you show us?
I didn't get it
A bunch of mainlanders binge-bought them all
Binge-bought?
That means they bought all of them
There are so many jewelry shops in Hong Kong?
How could they buy it all?
I won't just go to any shop
for the diamond of an engagement ring
Have to order it from a specific place
Haven't you proposed before?
I ordered it for him actually
ls the ring the most important thing
in a proposal?
Of course
But it's settled
Luckily Siu-yu brought me up there last week
The place is kinda dark and old
But It's definitely super cheap
I can't resist
I helped Makino order it
That shop does wholesale
A lot of our colleagues bought there
I waited for an hour just
to pick the diamond up
All of a sudden,
a bunch of mainlanders barged in
God knows what they told the owner
behind the closed door
Then he owner came out and said
All diamonds have been bought by them
He will have to reorder my diamond later
So I ran over
And started arguing with one of the mainlanders
And then he hit me and broke my phone
My Sugar phone
Why didn't you hit him back?
Come on
I'm fine with paying a few thousands
to buy a new phone
This suit I'm wearing is expensive
What if it's ruined?
How about your company phone?
Company phone?
It stays in the company, right?
I saw it
I let them confiscate it
Hold on. What's happening now?
And who are you?
That's enough. Let's not waste time
Ronald, please explain to Makino
The rest of you,
head back to your rooms and unpack
We have a lot of work to catch up
Hey
Can someone explain?
Irene
You three gentlemen will be sharing this room
Okay
Hey
I'm an old man with a bad back
I need to sleep in bed
There's only one bed?
What now?
Sleep together then
Let me get this straight,
I don't wear underpants in bed
First come, first served
I don't wear it either
What don't you wear? Your shoes?
How about I give you all the pillows?
Here?
Why are you shy, kid?
I don't wear underpants in bed
But I wear sleeping pants
I'll let you have the bed
out of respect for elderly
Shen Jun is a multinational listed company
The financial performance report in the file
Will affect its stock price?
They are working on a project called C-H-O-K
CHOK
I bet you've never heard of it?
Anyway, it's a huge online platform
The world is waiting for its launch
But the project just got discontinued
We won't be announcing this news
to the public yet
Then aren't they...
Lying to the small shareholders
With you guys?
Press conference is about repacking
That's not lying
We always see things so differently
Ashley
Give Securities Regulatory Commission
a call about this
Yes, sir
Say no to reclamation!
Say no to relocation of the pier!
Stop cutting ferry service!
We want the ferry back!
Protect Victoria Harbor!
Protect Victoria Harbor! Protect our land!
Reclamation can solve housing and land problems
The city needs to be developed.
We have to look ahead
Switch to Channel 38
- Alright
- Protect Victoria Harbor!
Protect our land!
Regarding Shen Jun's press conference on Friday
What do you think, Francis?
We all know that CHOK is the new generation...
Hey. He's talking about CHOK
It is a smart home control system
As well as a cryptocurrency
Users can share consuming experience with it
Everyone can be a part of it
It sounds easier said than done
Think about how popular
smart home systems are now
Will the major businesses be
willing to cooperate?
Shen Jun has been talking
about this project for years
When will it actually be done?
A picture got leaked on the internet
Just before the press conference
It's claimed to be a screenshot from CHOK
They claimed that
there's a loophole in this platform
User's information might be leaked by that
Francis, do you think this is credible?
User's information get leaked?
To the mega corporations?
Or to the government?
As far as I know
That was indeed a screenshot
from the CHOK platform
But I've talked with many...
Developers and beta testers
They don't know why this screenshot got leaked
What is the motivation?
With all that work,
they probably won't get the money
What is this for?
So they get more likes
If they think it's fun, they will do it
Officer Tong, I just called SFC
They said there's nothing abnormal
with Shen Jun's stock price
They'll keep a close eye
Don't count on them
Call and remind them
Every 2 to 3 hours
Yes, sir
I'm heading out for a bit
Yes, sir. Got it
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the annual meeting of Chik's Group
For the last 3 years
We successfully diversified
our business profiles
From traditional hardware manufacturing
to IT financing
If he knew who my grandfather was
Then I'd be in big trouble
Your house is big
Mr. Chik, Mr. Chik, one question
They are concerned
Are you still the one in charge
behind the scene?
These three men on television
Are my family
Excuse me
Just another old-fashioned story
Since my uncle took over the business
He started investing in technology stocks
No comment
My grandfather has officially retired
And is no longer our CEO
Making money by tempering financial statements
It's a risky business
So how did they make sure
they won't lose money?
They work with the banks
And transfer all the risks
to individual shareholders
With the help of these financial experts
A lot of people will buy this
My family is doing this evil business
And now this is happening with Shen Jun
If the hi-tech bubble collapses,
I'm telling you
I can't watch it anymore
Wong Chiu
I'm going to their office
To check their backgrounds
Watch those guys for me
Report to me if you see anything strange
Yes, Officer Tong
Ma Hon
Hurry down to the lobby of
your service apartment
See if you spot some tall men in black
Sneaking around nearby
Got it
Are you alright, Officer Tong?
Great, you're still here
I'm going to Shen Jun for a meeting
They have been hacked
And their information have been leaked online
Hey, you know what?
I got a new Mustang
2 months old
It's gorgeous, what a beauty
I saw it on my wife's Facebook
Oh, she's your ex-wife, right?
Your ex, not your wife anymore
Because there's a difference
Hey, you should have cut the left lane earlier
What are you doing?
Did you see the white car?
The white car behind us
Has been there for a while
I know you are trying to get rid of these guys
But we're going the wrong way
We're supposed to go to Kowloon
Sit tight
We are turning left
You can't turn left
There's a construction
Otherwise how can we get rid of them?
The construction site
is the only place they won't go
Everyone in Hong Kong knows
the construction is not done yet
Didn't you see the roadblocks?
Don't you go!
I'm calling the police now
The police?
That's impressive
So the police can do whatever they want now?
What do you want to do now?
I don't need you to tell me what to do
Let's go!
Hello
We are here for Carlos
Please follow me
Alright. Thank you
Thank you
John
Hot Americano with
two extra decaf espresso shots
And soy milk
You are the best
That's impressive of you to remember all that
It's a complicated order
The sensor at the front door recognized John
And CHOK recalled his favorite kind of coffee
Carlos
- Hello
- Good to see you
This is Officer Tong
He's with Commercial Crime Bureau
Your CHOK has pinpointed me
Carlos
CFO of Shen Jun
"Pinpointing" is a good term
I like it
It recognizes your face
And opens a file of you
It will be able to identify your face
What's so special about it?
A coffee shop membership card
Can record customers' preference too
No
Those are merely records
Ours are big data
They are completely different
One day, this will be developed to a level
Where you don't even have to drive anymore
Every day
The car comes and picks you up automatically
You can save money from not hiring a driver
That sounds good on paper
Let's get back to the screenshot
How is it?
ls it real?
I like that you are so straightforward
That screenshot is real
That's why this Friday
We're counting on John for the press conference
My team is working on it
The first screenshot
Got leaked
There will be a second one anytime now
Have you thought about who did tis?
I suspected it might be
an employee called Zachary
He used to work in Silicon Valley
2 years ago, our CEO headhunted him
He is a weirdo, no one gets along with him
He's on gardening leave right now
Your Hong Kongers have a similar term
"Sterilization Period"
"Sterilization Period" is a good term
You said you don't get along with him?
In what ways?
He is a bit of a...
Perfectionist, I guess?
He is impulsive
He's in his 30s,
but acts like someone born in the 90s
Just like what you Hong Kongers say
He's a bit of a chav
Chav
How was it, Ashley?
Officer Tong, I arrived at Tai Hang Road
Nothing so far
Good
I'll be there soon
You are asking me if I know anything?
I should be the one asking you
Officer Tong didn't explain anything again
He's infamous in our bureau
He doesn't play by the rules
And he never solves any case
I read the file
There's nothing in it
Nothing in it?
Hong Kong is a mess now,
I don't understand why you came back
Isn't it better staying in the United States?
I have no relatives
Here in Hong Kong
I really can do whatever I want
And I don't count being a nomad
I'm very free here
And Hong Kong has what I want
Then what is it that you want?
Officer Tong
Did anyone come back to the 2nd floor?
No, not even the men in black you mentioned
How did it go with the leads?
An officer saw Makino in Central
in a surveillance video
As for the blackmail email
Somone is working on it
The guy you just told me about, Zachary
We are also looking into him
We just need a little more time
Time
The press conference is happening the day after
They said we had 3 days to investigate,
but not even 2 now
Who said we had 3 days?
My ex-wife
She sweet-talks me into helping her
By the way, Officer Tong
Now that you open a case,
but there's nothing in the file
Aren't you worried that
Commisioner Shiu will see it?
I will handle Shiu myself
But most importantly
We still don't know what the kidnappers want
It's just a $1 90,000 ransom
They are obviously trying to play games
Those men in black downstairs definitely
have something to do with it
If we assume K Kidnapper is an outsider
Then one of the people in the service apartment
Must be a snitch
But not the mastermind
It's them again
Police
Why did you park your car on the walkway?
ID, please
Fellow officer
Have fun
- Hey, buddy
- Yes
Be careful patrolling around
Tai Hang Road tonight
Something might happen
Okay, no problem
How about SFC?
Do they have any news?
They said the trades look normal
No abnormal transactions before they closed
But Ronald
Apparently used a company under his name
To buy 1 00,000 shares of Shen Jun's stock
Fuck!
ls he watching us?
Didn't we confiscate his phone?
He bought the shares before
he went to the service apartment
I went to sing karaoke with
some colleagues last night
I got home at midnight to work
So you brought work home
because you wanted to have fun?
Can't you be a little more responsible?
It's actually a legal transaction
Just that it happened at an odd time
And I thought he and that girl, Shek Siu-yu
Were not suspicious
You should have backups on your server, right?
I just asked someone to look for it
But the backup file has been deleted too
Huh?
Who was it?
Dylan Chik from IT Department
Actually, Officer Tong
Have you doubted your ex-wife and John?
You also think they're having an affair too?
I'm not saying they're having an affair
I meant if they are suspects too
Officer Tong
Someone's coming out
Send these photos to Wong Chiu now
Tell him to ask that IT guy, Chik
If he knows these two men
Okay
Wait
Hey
Officer Tong!
We've got nothing
to protect ourselves. Don't go
Let's go
Sir
Oh yes
Nothing really happened today
Irene sent a lot of Whatsapp messages to John
On business matters?
Yes, I watched her send them
If not, I'll screencapture them
for you next time
Sure
Huh?
All conversations?
Take a rest on the 27th floor
I'll take it from here
Thank you, sir
Morning, sir
You don't have to stay overnight
I am responsible
It doesn't seem right that
the kid was recommended
By such an important man
to work in this position
He's recommended by the CEO
from the headquarter
His grandfather is the CEO's friend
I understand
What do you understand?
Nothing
I found Zachary's apartment
It's nearby
The Man Mo Temple
"Future belongs to the next generation"
"We should listen to them"
Officer Tong?
My colleagues said you'd like
to see the manager. I'm the manager
It's you?
What a coincidence!
I didn't know it's you
It's been 3 years, right?
Why are you working here?
Actually...
This service apartment is a social enterprise
Anyway
Are you looking for Mr. Sze?
He should be in Hong Kong now
He stays here for 3 months every year
Zachary's mum is a Hong Konger
She lives in Lantau Island
She usually sends letters to her son here
Here it is
There's an address on the envelope
He should be staying with his mum now
And Shen Jun notified us that
Zachary will be checking out after this month
Maybe he resigned
Hey
That's not okay
If Officer Tong knows about this,
I'll get blamed
It'll be quick
Look at how this silly pig sleeps
Silly pig?
You two are...
Enough with taking photos
Just take the last one
Zoom in here
And take one more photo
- What did you take?
- You dozing off during work hours!
Let me see it. Give it to me
Let me see it
I have proof
She's using her cell phone
I'd like to complain that
she's using her cell phone
That student has preferential treatment
I'm giving my phone back to my teacher now
Hey
If I can find my phone
Then we will know the truth
You aren't asking me
why I can get online, are you?
As a professional IT guy
Stealing wi-fi is the basics
Yeah!
I know!
Not again
If we use computer to open the emails
The kidnapper will know
Then why don't we open the emails
with our phones?
Damn it!
That doesn't work either?
Uncle
Actually...
What is it that you want?
Hey kiddo, I'm done with you
It's true I don't know
But still I'm a better person than you
What can you do about it?
Stop trying to brush me off
I've never believed a word you say
Dr. Wu has so many patients to care for
Why would he decide to leave the hospital
For a vacation now?
Let me see him
Sir, he's really not here
Give me a break
Are you guys crazy?
How could you discharge my mum
when her doctor is not here?
Why don't you give me his number
and let me talk to him?
No, sir, that's not allowed in the system
System. We're talking system now?
The world is ending because of system
You are crazy
I'm telling you
My mom will not leave the hospital
You hear that?
Sometimes, ignorance
ls a bliss
Fuck you!
Hey, that's mine
You can argue, but don't throw things
You think we don't know?
You only got to work here
because of your grandpa
Everyone knows about this
Your grandpa is Chik Kuen
You're born with a silver spoon
Who are you to criticize me?
Come on, come and fight me
Throw a straight punch
You can throw things, but don't fight
Yeah
Go and play with your video games
You don't need to work anyway
You're the grandson of...
The richest Chinese American
You're not even born with a silver spoon
You're born with a gold spoon!
- Born with a gold spoon!
- Shut up!
Sit down!
Born with a gold spoon
Work
Hi
Excuse me
Nurse
I'm his friend. What happened just now?
That's right
The doctor said his mother is recovering well.
He can visit her every other day now
But he doesn't want to believe it
Can you help persuade him?
I'd like to have the contact of the doctor
I want to ask you a question first
ls this related to CHOK?
How do you know?
CHOK is the only contribution I made
To this world
I don't know you
And you came all this way to find me
If it's not about CHOK,
I don't see what else it is
ls it about that screenshot?
I have nothing to do with it
Carlos wants me gone a long time ago
He is just looking for an excuse to kick me out
You believe him?
Did he tell you about...
CHOK and the driverless car?
He's crazy!
Do you know what that means?
It can sell your information anytime
The government will be able to track you
Everyone of us will be monitored
Even if you say a wrong thing
It can...
Lock you in the car
And take you to the police station
CHOK shouldn't be like this
The world of CHOK should be a free state
Isn't it good though?
If someone breaks the law
He'll be driven directly to the police station
That's good
Then you will lose your job
Me?
I'm going to get my pension soon
It has nothing to do with me
I'm blaming your generation
Your generation
Only cares about yourselves
For you
all you care is whether CHOK
Can help you buy coffee
But CHOK consists of a large amount of data
It does more than just buying things for you
It can...
monitor or even countervail the system
Through mass mobilization in network
From then on
Social mobility no longer runs
by an unilateral decision
Do your colleagues know about your thoughts?
When did you start to disagree?
They have been making
a fool of me for over a year
Okay
They can make fun of me all they want
This is between me and my company
But they have no rights to mess with my testers
And they still haven't paid me yet
How much do they owe you?
ls that your salary?
It's not. Testers don't take salary,
don't you know?
Okay
You'll never understand
That's something else
$1 90,000
$1 90,000 again?
Could that be a coincidence?
Hi
Hi, Dr. Wu
Hello, I'm Mr. Sze
Are you alright?
Hey
Are you okay?
You knew it too?
We all knew it
Okay
Just give me time to calm down
Or send me your photos again
Did you find your phone?
Not yet
You can give me yours
It's the same model anyway
Will that make you feel better?
Perhaps
Okay
My phone
ls in this building
Officer Tong, I just checked
This guy is so annoying
That everyone recognizes him
That's why everyone here
Can prove that
he's been here the last 4 to 5 days
Taking care of his mother
But this is a case
Where everything was
operated through the computer
The alibis
Basically mean nothing
Do you think he really did it?
$1 90,000
He is related one way or another
Go and talk to Miu
See if those guys
Have been involved with this fool lately?
Yes, sir
Oh, right, one more thing
That Makino
Did go to pick up the diamond that day
But he didn't come back
to the office immediately after
He went to
The serviced apartment
where they are staying now
Why did he go there?
He dropped off a letter
And went back to the office
Only to find that everyone
was at the service apartment
So he rushed over
There's something sneaky
About all these guys
Officer Tong, Mui Wo should be that way
This road will bring us to Tai O
We are here anyway. Let's go get some souvenirs
Souvenirs?
Whose is this?
Why don't you pick it up?
I don't want it anymore
Officer Tong
What are Dylan and Wong Chiu doing outside?
Probably chit chatting
Then why don't you join them?
Yes
This is what you asked me to check
It's all done
Their phone numbers match
with the company names
Nothing abnormal
So all's well ends well?
You can say that
I bought it in Tai O
Thank you
Hey guys
Hey, It's 1 1 pm
John is here, everyone stop working
It's time to open the second email
See what does it say?
Time's up
Hi, John
Nine Wu bid
Find...
Cow dung based mosquito repellent
Right
Before midnight
Buy them all
K Kidnapper
Bidding cow dung
based mosquito repellent online?
Nine Wu?
What is that?
It's not Nine Wu, it's Gou Wu
Gou Wu means shopping
What does that mean?
Why should we listen to him?
Uncle, you keep on doing this?
If we don't, he will disclose
our customer's information
Hey
No matter what.
Let's log onto the website first
Who has an account?
I do
Buy them all
That really is a thing
They have 200 of them
Each sold at $950
200 multiplied by $950
That's exactly $1 90,000
Found it
This was invented by a college student
Who dried cow dung and
make it into Eco repellent
Do you have that much money?
No, I don't
You can give me all that $1 90,000
I meant you can transfer the amount to me
Alright, I will transfer to you now
Siu-yu, prepare to make the transfer
Hurry up
Write down the names of the sellers
Yes
What's the point of writing it down?
This is what I call
Obstructing investigation and
wasting police manpower
What a bunch of 20th century morons
This is the 21 st century
Learn how to use the internet
In my opinion
We should just contact the sellers
with the highest ratings
Those are the ones who will reply for sure
Done
Hurry
There was more than 1 0 just now
You do the counting then
No need to count.
There's a number on the upper left corner
Why didn't you say so?
- Oh my god, Ronald
- You should have told us earlier
Okay, shut up, guys, okay?
Why do you have a new phone?
Who let you out to buy it?
You are asking me?
Uncle
This is not a cellphone.
It's for listening to music
You wanna take a look?
Go go go. Hurry up
Hurry
That's it!
This is the last one
1 1 :53
Done
- Yeah
- Thank you
Good job, guys!
Well done
"I want to buy the cow dung mosquito repellent"
"Yours is expensive, is it more authentic?"
Hey
Let's play safe
and check if they bought enough
Yes, sir
There's no need to check
Just see if he's just spent $1 90,000
from his account
Oh yes
All you do is check
I'll throw you a straight punch, gold spoon
Straight punch...
Hey
Officer Tong, I've got some updates
You told our colleagues to check on Dylan
And his lost phone, right?
They just found out.
That the phone was turned on for two minutes
Location
ls exactly at the apartment building you are at
Other than that...
ls this case
Done by the obnoxious gold spoon
Or the faux-Japanese?
I know it well
Officer Tong
He keeps saying he can't get to sleep.
He wants to talk with you
Want a beer, Officer Tong?
I think it's Makino
Why do you think so?
Process of elimination
$1 90,000
ls nothing to Irene and Ronald
And Siu-yu...
Graduate of global business from HKUST
In 3 years, she'll be earning
an annual salary of $1 million
But the ransom was only $1 90,000
Why such a small amount?
And you're wealthy
Therefore, there's only one possibility
Each sold at $950
200 multiplied by $950
That's exactly $1 90,000
You can give me all that $1 90,000
It's gotta be Makino then
Makino's family
ls also quite well off
- Hi
- Mr. Makino
Welcome
But he and his wife are big spenders
They always complain about their cashflow
They're planning a wedding
Heard that his dad wouldn't let him 'out bud'
"Out bud"?
"Out bud"
Out of budget
Or overbudget, uncle!
I need to find some high grade stuff
It's for my wife
But...
ls $1 90,000 enough for all that?
$1 90,000
It's not too much or little
John wouldn't hold anyone accountable
Then they can definitely keep it
Let's stop with all these conspiracy theories
You've read too many mystery novels
Uncle
Times have changed
Before I came back to Hong Kong
I was backpacking through
South America for a year
A homeless guy told me
There are jobs that existed 5 years ago
That don't exist now
And 5 years later
There will be jobs that
we can't even fathom right now
Sometimes you'd think that
you're 5 years behind
But you're actually a decade behind
Have you ever thought about
Why John chose you to help
with this investigation?
With his connections,
he can ask the deputy commissioner
It's just 3 days
Your ex-wife is...
Correct
I know who you are
It was you who took my phone
Found it
This was invented by a college student
Who dried cow dung and
make it into Eco repellent
Just remember
Call me...
- When you find the file
- Okay
Hey
What is this?
I'll tell you later
You could be on to something
But I have a question for you
Go ahead
Officer Tong, I've got some updates
You told our colleagues to check on Dylan
And his lost phone, right?
They just found out.
That the phone was turned on for two minutes
Location
ls exactly at the apartment building you are at
Other than that...
We've found out that
The first email blackmailing John
Was sent from your phone
Looks like my five years are not up yet!
No idea
Let the game go on
Let's put it this way
You know that my phone was stolen
If that person uses my phone
To kill by hitting someone on the head
That's out of my control
You knew there was a snitch
You were sure of that
So he commited the crime
And framed me
That makes perfect sense
So who do you think did this?
I still think it's Makino
He was there the night I lost my phone
Just let him
Drink
Do it for your girl!
A bet's a bet
Deal
"Am I a fool for paying that $60,000?"
"ls this a scam?"
"Makino"
"Give me a number.
Why can't you just sell it back to me?"
"Forget it. I'll ask someone else"
"Don't bother asking. No one has the real deal"
"Why? Don't we have to finish transaction?"
"Fallen Angel typing"
"A friend sent us this photo and
said someone will pay for us"
"What friend is that?"
"A friend that owes us money"
Hey, are you hungry?
A little
Help me finish it?
Thank you
The testers don't take salary
$1 90,000
What is he doing?
My intern is dividing the 300 flyers
Into individual stacks of 50 by height
Fuck
"Fallen Angel (offline)"
People are purchasing white t-shirts by storm
This happened in 6 different stores
of the same brand today
All the customers had a tacit understanding
They all refused to make
any statement to the press
Well?
The taste didn't change much, right?
The coffee?
What I brought from Tai O yesterday
Hey, Irene
The waffle you gave me
Tasted really good
What's the flavor?
ls it green tea?
Yes, I think so
Let me know when you get it next time
What is it?
What did I do wrong this time?
If it's nothing, then I'm going
back out to watch TV
Hey, It's time
Everyone, stop working
We need to open the last email from K Kidnapper
Press conference will start this afternoon
K Kidnapper'd better make his demands clear
Count down
5 second left
4, 3, 2, 1
Hi John
One
Thanks for your $1 90,000
Two
1 5:00
Outside Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui
Three. Put on white tee by Le Coq Sportif
To collect 200 boxes of...
Cow dung mosquito repellent
Four
Ferry your office
Five
Stick them on the windows
With instructions in bags. From K Kidnapper
P.S. Some people will be
following you, be careful
We paid the $1 90,000 ransom
What else does he want?
He's playing with us
How do we carry 200 boxes?
Relax, Ronald
Don't ruin the whole thing
Just follow the instructions till the end
Please tell me you're not sending us, John
They didn't specify who should be going
Then we should go
It's just a $1 90,000 ransom
They are obviously trying to play games
I suspected it might be
an employee called Zachary
He used to work in Silicon Valley
But they have no rights to mess with my testers
$1 90,000
What's up, Tong Fu?
We're in a serious situation, I need backup
You know it's serious too?
Yet you came to me after you've paid the ransom
Ashely has already reported to me
By the way, Officer Tong
Now that you open a case,
but there's nothing in the file
Aren't you worried that
Commisioner Shiu will see it?
I'll handle Shiu myself
But most importantly
We still don't know what the kidnappers want
He's infamous in CCB
He doesn't play anything by the rules
And he never solves any case
The worst thing is...
We need to clean up his mess
CD?
Commercial Crime Bureau, CCB
I just wanted to see when you'd come find me
Must be a snitch
Give me some more time
Why don't you give me more time?
Every team is occupied right now
How can I send more people within 2 hours?
I clicked into the case folder
It's all junk in there
The statement isn't there
The two people who reported the crime
Are both suspects
I can't record my statement yet
This case can't be leaked out
Otherwise
The stock market is going to plummet
And a financial crisis will ensue
Who's taking responsibility for that?
Financial crisis?
Tong Fu, are you threaten me?
Glasses cameras are ready
Ma Hon, what are you doing?
My glasses are dirty, I was just cleaning it
Captain
We've found something
We found two white plastic bags
with boxes inside
We suspect them to be
cow dung mosquito repellent
Team A has found 2 bags in Zone 1
2 white plastic bags
I repeat
There are 1m x 0.5m pink boxes inside
The white plastic bags
Do not remove the bags if you find any
Just keep an eye on them
We've found something
Team B is now at the 2/F of Zone 2
Also found it
Roger, Team B
Team C, what's your location?
Be careful
Team C is at Zone 4
We're not sure if we've found anything
Team E has looked all over Zone 5
Searched all the entry points on Salisbury Road
Nothing so far
Us three will split up and keep looking
Team B is in Zone 3
We've found plastic bags
below one of the slanted pillars
Outside of the Cultural Centre
I think it was put there just now
It wasn't there 1 0 seconds ago
When I walked past it
Got it, Team B
Alright, we've found 6 bags.
We have 3 minutes until 3pm
The 3 teams that have found their target
Send one member each to help Team C
Okay, got it
I think we're being watched
Team A is regrouping
We have 1 minute left
Two members from Team B have regrouped
We've found at least 8 bags
We couldn't find all 1 0, 8 is useless
We're not giving up with
just 2 bags left to find
Pay attention
We have 30 seconds left
It's over
Why is it always us that screw up?
I can't go on
Damn, it's right here
It's hidden so low
Everybody pay
1 0 seconds left
I've found it, come help me out
What is it?
My arm isn't long enough
You're such a hassle
It's not my intention
Miu, get to work
It's time. Action
Get to the pier now
Come back quickly
Did you get it?
It's stuck
This isn't fishing
Sir, there's really someone following us
Be careful
They left
Can you do it?
A crippled guy can run faster than us
There's someone catching up to us
Out of our way!
Quickly!
Damn it!
Sir, there's a swarm of people
wearing the same clothes
What should we do?
What is it? Cheung Chau Da Jiu Festival?
Let's rush in together
I can't tell who's who
Get in there
Let's get in
Are you guys together?
Go this way
This way, this way
They went into the pier
- Sir, what's going on?
- Get lost
They don't know you
You can't get in.
They commandeered the ferry
They went in
Hey, be more cultured
This is Hong Kong
Stop pushing
Get in the gate
Stop pushing!
"We want the ferry back! Have a say!"
"Wear t-shirts"
"And take ferry back and forth
from Central tomorrow at 3pm"
An organization against
the relocation of the ferry pier
Organized a protest online
Earlier this afternoon
They swarmed Tsim Sha Tsui pier
The white tshirts are the ones
from the sporting goods chain
That had a wave of purchases
earlier this morning
The protesters all wear white tshirts,
white shoes and jeans
There were about 200 people
Chanting along the way
That commandeered a star ferry
And went from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui,
then back again
In order to protest again
the relocation of the pier
It caught the attention of many people
along the harbour
Some even took videos with their phones
First team has arrived,
they're taking the elevator
Yes
There are instructions inside
Stack up the boxes
There are numbers below the boxes
Just follow the numbers
- 1 5
- Give me number 23
Sorry, 23 should go here
This is 1 5
Hurry up, cop
Come here
What is it, sir?
Go to the building over there
And let us know what you see
- Okay?
- Yes, sir
Stop playing with your phone
Ma Hon is sending a WhatsApp message to me
He took a photo
from the building across the road
Officer Tong, take a look
Everybody quiet down
What do you two want?
Do you guys hear something?
- 4:1 0pm
- It's your voice
Shut up
2 minutes left
Go! Go down the stairs!
Damn! I ran all this way for nothing
Are you hurt?
I'm okay
What is it?
She sprained her ankle
Go take a break
He returned safely
He's at the door
Coming up now
Auntie, aren't you in Shenzhen?
He's back, he's back
Oh he's finally back
Dylan's home!
Auntie, don't you need
to watch over your factory?
Why did you all fly back to Hong Kong?
What the hell are you talking about, Dylan?
Dylan
How are you doing?
You okay?
I'm okay
Grandpa
What is it? Where are all your
black bodyguards? Where's O'Neal?
You fired him?
Enough!
Dylan
Do you know what happened in the past 2 days?
Calm down
Money is not important
As long as he gets back home safely
No idea
What do you mean, 'no idea'?
Good job, Shek Siu-yu
Did you take photos of me?
What else do I have to know?
"Does diamond have a higher value..."
"than dreams?"
"Siu-yu"

The public has used this new app
To arouse social pressure
Today, we've invited the founder of this app
To have a chat with us
- Hello, Zachary
- Hi
What is the most important about this app?
The main function of this app...
ls to gather forces through the internet
To monitor and go against the system
From this point onwards
Social mobility no longer runs
by an unilateral decision
Every citizen has the power to go
against the grain
Siu-yu. Here we are
Was it difficult to find?
I had to change cars a couple of times
Spent a few hundred bucks
You could've woken up earlier
Take the subway and switch to a bus
There are several hundreds diamonds
A couple hundred dollar is nothing
Don't you think it's fun?
Back then
You had no idea what was going on
There was never a file in the server
No matter how good the hacker is
There's no way of not leaving a trace
You're not doing it for fun?
Actually, I really don't know
How much longer I can stay in Shen Jun
Carlos Lim, the CFO from Malaysia
He's been trying to kick me out
Hey, sorry I'm late
The diamond wholesaler just called me
He wanted to clarify something
Those oldies are quite something
They don't use computers
They only use pen and paper
I don't know how long it's been
since they last renovated the place
ls the ring the most
important thing in a proposal?
Of course
But it's settled
Luckily Siu-yu brought me up there last week
The place is kinda dark and old
But It's definitely super cheap
I can't resist
What's the password?
It's my birthday
Oh no!
Come on
You didn't leave any for yourself?
I want to ask you both
Do you think that...
Diamonds count as a...
Universal currency?
Are you talking about 'universal unity' again?
I'm going to the bathroom
To have enough universalizability
And for it to be worth something substantial
Gold is the only thing
And the cryptocurrency that
You've designed in CHOK
Your newest iteration of CHOK
I've found you some investors
Really?
Where does the money originate from?
You know how it is.
I don't want to be ridden on by an investor
Like Shen Jun
You won't
Because I'm the one helping you this time
Besides
The $1 90,000 in crypto-currency
that the testers used last time
I'll take care of it
However
You can't ask where the money came from
And you can't tell anyone about it
So secretive?
Give me some time
The funds will be in place soon
I also want to bring
in one more person to help you
- ls he a local?
- No
He grew up in the US, just like you
But you went to Stanford, he went to MIT
ls it Makino?
Outside
- Freeze!
- Stop right there!
Freeze!
Police, freeze!
There's a fight
No way

When will you be free?"
Madam, I need to use the washroom
Okay
"Mr. Chik, hello"
"The good news is that
your grandson is safe right now"
"But the bad news is..."
He's talking about CHOK
Have you found your phone yet?
Not yet
You can give me yours
It's the same model anyway
What did you take?
Give it to me. Let me see
- What did you take?
- You dozing off during work hours
I have proof
You're using a cell phone
I'd like to complain that
she's using a cell phone
That student has preferential treatment
"Are the bag of diamonds"
"that 1 99 empty boxes of
cow dung mosquito repellent"
"and the alarm clock ready?"
I've checked
You purchased the
'Homeless Cow Shelter' property
Then they don't need to worry about
any increase of rent,
or the land being reclaimed
Also...
Cow dung mosquito repellent
ls a product of the 'Homeless Cow Shelter'
9 years ago
There was an accident here
Involving a school bus
A family of cows were killed
I've checked the website
It was a field trip of your school
You were there when it happened
You felt sorry for the cows
So you orchestrated this whole thing
And blackmailed my grandfather
- Bye
- Alright, bye
Good morning
Good morning, Makino
This is for you
Thanks, Monica
You have it good
Someone treating you coffee
the moment you step in
Too bad I'm taken
Hey
This piece
I got it for 40% off
It's cheaper than getting it
from the illegal store
40% off?
Why is that?
An anonymous person told me to place cash
That's 40% off the actual amount
at the hotel reception
And then he sent me the diamond
40% off
So cheap!
Can I have a look?
Who's that mysterious person?
What if it was a scam?
Impossible
The invitation card sent to me earlier
Had the exact time and dates of my whereabouts
How many carats are you looking for?
- I've got something good for you
- Cool
Come over here, have a seat
He even knows how I want the cut
How could it be a scam?
See?
It's the real deal
I have it
It's all legit
Don't worry about a thing
As long as you're Siu-yu's friend
I trust Siu-yu the most
We've sent out 200 cards
At least half of them were willing to pay
Hong Kongers
Are greedy and cheap
Did you know that 4 years ago
I saw you in Admiralty before I joined A&B
I recognize you
Are you trying to tell me
You stayed in Hong Kong
And joined A&B
Because of me?
Are you interested in a job
that better suits you?
Like what?
My family's business is expanding to Hong Kong
My uncle thinks you have guts
What do you think?
Change?
Everyone wants change
But when will anyone do something about it?
If no one would
Then I'll step up
How about I ask you a question instead
What do you think of...

Breaking the law?
Sun Yat-sen broke the law back then

John?
Okay. I'm on my way up

Okay
All the main characters are in place
Irene did reach out to her ex-husband
CHOK, isn't it?
This guy is really famous
If CHOK remained under Shen Jun
It'll just become an e-commerce platform
I thought CHOK has been shelved?
My boss tells me that
Shen Jun has already decided
That CHOK has already been shelved
But now the Malaysian is in charge
He's making a whole new version
A new version of CHOK?
Yes

Officer Tong found out that
you were still in contact with Makino
And what else did the great detective find out?
Zachary wanted to rebuild
the value of this world
The first step was in Hong Kong
It'll take 5 to 1 0 years to popularize
So if we're going to take this seriously
We need to work on an app
I guess you don't want
to get into the family business
Considering the state of Hong Kong right now
I want to develop this app in Hong Kong
It's to mobilize
But what I want to achieve is
To encourage people to
Execute what they want in real life

But not just with signatures

Drink it for your girl!
Drink it!
Bottoms up!
A bet's a bet!
Bottoms up!
Down it!
Dylan Chik, you suck!
Help him pose!
Okay, here we go
Look flirty
What's going on?
Check his pocket
What's the password?
Look at the camera!
- Ready
- Look over here!
"What's more dangerous?
Love or crime?"
"Dylan Chik"
Sorry, I know I woke you up
I have a favor to ask
Can you come back to the office earlier?
Only you can help me
I'll wait for you at your desk
She only sees me as her backup plan now
Look at her. She's acting all cute
And she texts me with all these emojis
Shek Siu-yu is really too much sometimes
- Good morning
- What can I do?
Should I ignore her?
Of course not
I have a crush on her
but I'm too scared to tell her
It's not too early
That's good
So this is what happened
Speak up
I'm Tong Fu
Senior Inspector of Commercial Crime Bureau
I've been working in the force
for almost 30 years
I've seen it all
But there's someone that up till now...
I'm still afraid of
This is my ex-wife
Irene
Has it been 5 minutes already?
I told you it's IBD
Did you take the stairs?
I told you it's IBD, not LED
The company downstairs does trading
Just press 30 in the elevator
This way
Long time no see
What happened to your hand?
- Action!
- Yes, sir!
- Fuck!
- Freeze!
I got hurt catching a thief
Take this!
Don't let him run away!
Or were you just being careless?
This way
I said this way
Fuck!
Your heels are getting higher
Be careful not to trip
Don't worry. I'm used to it
Wait over there
We are ready
What is he doing?
My intern is dividing the 300 flyers
Into individual stacks of 50 by height
So he doesn't have to count
Are you serious?
It's him
Irene
Come on in
You must be Mr. Tong
This is my boss, John
We invited you over because
we need your advice on something
Thank you
We got an email this morning
Buy a pair of reading glasses
He calls himself K Kidnapper
He claims that he has
a confidential document belonged to us
And asks for a $1 90,000 ransom
If not, he'll share the document to the public
Who'd ask for only $1 90,000?
What the hell?
Who is he?
ls it a prank?
K Kidnapper
If we don't pay, he'll share it to the public?
What document is so important?
What document is that?
It is a budget analysis
we did for a listed company
Of their financial performance
Which of course wasn't particularly good
That's why it's price sensitive
We'll announce financing plan
on the press conference on Friday
If this document leaks out
We'll be blamed for not doing our jobs
That will affect their stock price greatly
Which company is that?
Shen Jun
The Taiwanese computer manufacturer?
How did the file get stolen?
We suspect that someone hacked into our server
How many employees can access this file?
They are all in the meeting room next door
Huh?
Just the two of them?
There's one more
Have you called Makino?
I have, but still can't reach him
I will keep calling
Who last accessed the file last night?
Last night...
After I finished my work
I uploaded the file to the server. Who knows...
When I came back for work this morning
The file got deleted
What time did you upload the file
to the server last night?
Around 3am
You were still working at 3am?
I went to a karaoke bar
with some colleagues last night
Siu-yu
What's wrong?
I've got some work to finish
I'm heading back to get it done
I got home around midnight to work
You should have backups
on your server too, right?
I just asked someone to look for it
But the backup file has been deleted too
Who was it?
What's the file name?
Let me do it
Okay
This one
Okay
Nothing
Nothing at all
Huh?
Dylan Chik from IT Department
Hey
Are you Dylan Chik from IT Department?
Yeah
Who are you, uncle?
I'm from Commercial Crime Bureau
I'd like to ask if you
helped this lady locate a file?
I did
But I couldn't find it
So what?
John received a ransom note through his email
Saying that someone kidnapped that file
Someone kidnapped the entire file?
How difficult is it
To completely erase a backup file
From your company's server?
This has nothing to do with difficulty
From IT's perspective,
it's a matter of whether you know or not
But if he can hack into our server
And take the entire document
Without leaving a trace
He must be an expert
We received another email
Let's get started
The first email
Open at 6pm Thursday
The second email
Open at 1 1 pm on Thursday
And the third
At 1 pm on Friday
First, open before dinner tomorrow
Second, open before going to bed tomorrow night
And lastly open at lunch the day after tomorrow
Why need to do it three times?
If this is real, this person already knows that
We will have a press conference on Friday
What does that mean?
Come on, stop asking
And start thinking about solutions
We don't have to listen to him
Hey
Damn it!
There's nothing in it?
We got pranked
Warning
See you at Golden Forum next time!
What is Golden?
The online platform, obviously
Fuck!
ls he watching us?
He just put a code there to scare you
He already knows
if you have read it in his email
He asked us to open the email
at the indicated time
Can't we forward it?
If we forward this to another email,
that'd work, right?
If you forward to another email
He'll still know that you've read it, uncle
What kind of attitude is this?
You are so disrespectful!
Ronald
He has a point
Can I talk in private with you two?
Okay
I advise you to report
to the police immediately
The police will begin investigating
We'd like to keep this
as low profile as possible
As an investigation team
Your colleagues are
working on many different cases
You probably won't explain
all the little details
Of each and every case
to your subordinates, right?
It shouldn't be too tough to get them to
Look into this small case, right?
It's just three days
It's alright
We just ran into an expert
It's not your fault
Everyone
Officer Tong is gonna take over the case
I trust you all
But to the police, we are all suspects
I now formally request
That from now to the press conference on Friday
All of you must stay in the company's apartment
No one can leave
Are you serious?
We were planning to work overnight
For this Shen Jun project anyway
We are just moving to a nicer place to work
That's your job to rush on this project
I don't have to be here, right?
Everybody has to stay there
Let me remind you
That's for every single one of you
My colleagues will be here soon
To collect your stuff with you during lunchtime
Then take you home to pick up your belongings
Who's the one you have been trying to call?
Who's the last guy? Makino, right?
What a mess
What are you looking for?
My phone
Perhaps someone stole it and switched it off?
What's going on?
Check his pocket
What's the password?
His birthday
I left it at home
Madam, I need to use the washroom
Didn't you use it at home already?
You gotta go again?
I have a stomachache
Do you need to use it? You can go first
No, go ahead
Okay
I've locked the door
Did I get robbed?
What is it again?
Nothing
Please take off your shoes
It's usually here
No one looked through my things
I don't think I got robbed
Your house is big and tidy
Did you rent it? Or buy it?
No
I stole it
This house is unoccupied
Huh?
Just kidding
Did you believe me?
Your dad must be well off
He passed away long time ago
Let's go
Why aren't you picking it up?
That's my grand aunt
Dylan
It's Auntie Nam
Call me back if you are home
Don't make me worry, okay?
So where is your phone?
My phone...
Probably lost it at the karaoke last night
Someone sent me home last night
cause I blacked out
Look at the camera!
Look over here!
Hey!
Guys!
Remember to take him home!
Have fun, guys
Enjoy!
Phones are cheap these days. It's just
a few thousands. I will get another one
Yes, sir
Sir
Hey
What's up?
Do you remember where you put my phone
After you deleted the photo this morning?
I can't find it
Do you remember
What you looked like last night
When you were drunk
It's hilarious
Really?
I'm sending a photo to you now
I don't remember a thing from last night
I totally blacked out
- I don't even know how I got home
- You suck!
I put it back on your desk
- Right next to the present I gave you
- What?
You think it's funny?
I sent you a wrong photo!
I didn't mean to send that!
Gotta delete it!
Okay
Well anyway
Call me...
When you find the file
Even if you find your phone
I already deleted my picture
Okay
Hey!
What is this?
I will tell you later
Dylan, It's Auntie Nam again
Your phone is off, office phone went unanswered
Grandpa got an email this morning
and he's worried
I'll go to Hong Kong to see you. Bye
Please take out all your phones
What is it again?
Company phones on the left
Personal phones on the right
Every business call you make
Have to be filled in on this form
Names and numbers of the receivers
have to be recorded
You must turn on the speaker during the call
All personal phones will be confiscated
Don't bother with his
He lost his phone
And I know that
This isn't the first time you're working here
I changed the wi-fi password here
If you want to online
Please use this computer instead
Fuck! Am I in prison?
You don't get paid as much in prison
You will be compensated. Just bear with it
Please don't forget
I'm only doing this
To prove your innocence
May I remind you all
Right now, everyone of you
ls a suspect
Did you drop dead?
I've been calling you all morning
My phone is broken
Why reorganize this place?
The bed was turned into a table! Not bad!
Hey!
Where did you go the whole morning?
I went to pick up the diamond
on my engagement ring
Who let you go during office hour?
I ordered it a while ago
I thought picking it up
would be quick. Chill out
Diamond?
Can you show us?
I didn't get it
A bunch of mainlanders binge-bought them all
Binge-bought?
That means they bought all of them
There are so many jewelry shops in Hong Kong?
How could they buy it all?
I won't just go to any shop
for the diamond of an engagement ring
Have to order it from a specific place
Haven't you proposed before?
I ordered it for him actually
ls the ring the most important thing
in a proposal?
Of course
But it's settled
Luckily Siu-yu brought me up there last week
The place is kinda dark and old
But It's definitely super cheap
I can't resist
I helped Makino order it
That shop does wholesale
A lot of our colleagues bought there
I waited for an hour just
to pick the diamond up
All of a sudden,
a bunch of mainlanders barged in
God knows what they told the owner
behind the closed door
Then he owner came out and said
All diamonds have been bought by them
He will have to reorder my diamond later
So I ran over
And started arguing with one of the mainlanders
And then he hit me and broke my phone
My Sugar phone
Why didn't you hit him back?
Come on
I'm fine with paying a few thousands
to buy a new phone
This suit I'm wearing is expensive
What if it's ruined?
How about your company phone?
Company phone?
It stays in the company, right?
I saw it
I let them confiscate it
Hold on. What's happening now?
And who are you?
That's enough. Let's not waste time
Ronald, please explain to Makino
The rest of you,
head back to your rooms and unpack
We have a lot of work to catch up
Hey
Can someone explain?
Irene
You three gentlemen will be sharing this room
Okay
Hey
I'm an old man with a bad back
I need to sleep in bed
There's only one bed?
What now?
Sleep together then
Let me get this straight,
I don't wear underpants in bed
First come, first served
I don't wear it either
What don't you wear? Your shoes?
How about I give you all the pillows?
Here?
Why are you shy, kid?
I don't wear underpants in bed
But I wear sleeping pants
I'll let you have the bed
out of respect for elderly
Shen Jun is a multinational listed company
The financial performance report in the file
Will affect its stock price?
They are working on a project called C-H-O-K
CHOK
I bet you've never heard of it?
Anyway, it's a huge online platform
The world is waiting for its launch
But the project just got discontinued
We won't be announcing this news
to the public yet
Then aren't they...
Lying to the small shareholders
With you guys?
Press conference is about repacking
That's not lying
We always see things so differently
Ashley
Give Securities Regulatory Commission
a call about this
Yes, sir
Say no to reclamation!
Say no to relocation of the pier!
Stop cutting ferry service!
We want the ferry back!
Protect Victoria Harbor!
Protect Victoria Harbor! Protect our land!
Reclamation can solve housing and land problems
The city needs to be developed.
We have to look ahead
Switch to Channel 38
- Alright
- Protect Victoria Harbor!
Protect our land!
Regarding Shen Jun's press conference on Friday
What do you think, Francis?
We all know that CHOK is the new generation...
Hey. He's talking about CHOK
It is a smart home control system
As well as a cryptocurrency
Users can share consuming experience with it
Everyone can be a part of it
It sounds easier said than done
Think about how popular
smart home systems are now
Will the major businesses be
willing to cooperate?
Shen Jun has been talking
about this project for years
When will it actually be done?
A picture got leaked on the internet
Just before the press conference
It's claimed to be a screenshot from CHOK
They claimed that
there's a loophole in this platform
User's information might be leaked by that
Francis, do you think this is credible?
User's information get leaked?
To the mega corporations?
Or to the government?
As far as I know
That was indeed a screenshot
from the CHOK platform
But I've talked with many...
Developers and beta testers
They don't know why this screenshot got leaked
What is the motivation?
With all that work,
they probably won't get the money
What is this for?
So they get more likes
If they think it's fun, they will do it
Officer Tong, I just called SFC
They said there's nothing abnormal
with Shen Jun's stock price
They'll keep a close eye
Don't count on them
Call and remind them
Every 2 to 3 hours
Yes, sir
I'm heading out for a bit
Yes, sir. Got it
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to the annual meeting of Chik's Group
For the last 3 years
We successfully diversified
our business profiles
From traditional hardware manufacturing
to IT financing
If he knew who my grandfather was
Then I'd be in big trouble
Your house is big
Mr. Chik, Mr. Chik, one question
They are concerned
Are you still the one in charge
behind the scene?
These three men on television
Are my family
Excuse me
Just another old-fashioned story
Since my uncle took over the business
He started investing in technology stocks
No comment
My grandfather has officially retired
And is no longer our CEO
Making money by tempering financial statements
It's a risky business
So how did they make sure
they won't lose money?
They work with the banks
And transfer all the risks
to individual shareholders
With the help of these financial experts
A lot of people will buy this
My family is doing this evil business
And now this is happening with Shen Jun
If the hi-tech bubble collapses,
I'm telling you
I can't watch it anymore
Wong Chiu
I'm going to their office
To check their backgrounds
Watch those guys for me
Report to me if you see anything strange
Yes, Officer Tong
Ma Hon
Hurry down to the lobby of
your service apartment
See if you spot some tall men in black
Sneaking around nearby
Got it
Are you alright, Officer Tong?
Great, you're still here
I'm going to Shen Jun for a meeting
They have been hacked
And their information have been leaked online
Hey, you know what?
I got a new Mustang
2 months old
It's gorgeous, what a beauty
I saw it on my wife's Facebook
Oh, she's your ex-wife, right?
Your ex, not your wife anymore
Because there's a difference
Hey, you should have cut the left lane earlier
What are you doing?
Did you see the white car?
The white car behind us
Has been there for a while
I know you are trying to get rid of these guys
But we're going the wrong way
We're supposed to go to Kowloon
Sit tight
We are turning left
You can't turn left
There's a construction
Otherwise how can we get rid of them?
The construction site
is the only place they won't go
Everyone in Hong Kong knows
the construction is not done yet
Didn't you see the roadblocks?
Don't you go!
I'm calling the police now
The police?
That's impressive
So the police can do whatever they want now?
What do you want to do now?
I don't need you to tell me what to do
Let's go!
Hello
We are here for Carlos
Please follow me
Alright. Thank you
Thank you
John
Hot Americano with
two extra decaf espresso shots
And soy milk
You are the best
That's impressive of you to remember all that
It's a complicated order
The sensor at the front door recognized John
And CHOK recalled his favorite kind of coffee
Carlos
- Hello
- Good to see you
This is Officer Tong
He's with Commercial Crime Bureau
Your CHOK has pinpointed me
Carlos
CFO of Shen Jun
"Pinpointing" is a good term
I like it
It recognizes your face
And opens a file of you
It will be able to identify your face
What's so special about it?
A coffee shop membership card
Can record customers' preference too
No
Those are merely records
Ours are big data
They are completely different
One day, this will be developed to a level
Where you don't even have to drive anymore
Every day
The car comes and picks you up automatically
You can save money from not hiring a driver
That sounds good on paper
Let's get back to the screenshot
How is it?
ls it real?
I like that you are so straightforward
That screenshot is real
That's why this Friday
We're counting on John for the press conference
My team is working on it
The first screenshot
Got leaked
There will be a second one anytime now
Have you thought about who did tis?
I suspected it might be
an employee called Zachary
He used to work in Silicon Valley
2 years ago, our CEO headhunted him
He is a weirdo, no one gets along with him
He's on gardening leave right now
Your Hong Kongers have a similar term
"Sterilization Period"
"Sterilization Period" is a good term
You said you don't get along with him?
In what ways?
He is a bit of a...
Perfectionist, I guess?
He is impulsive
He's in his 30s,
but acts like someone born in the 90s
Just like what you Hong Kongers say
He's a bit of a chav
Chav
How was it, Ashley?
Officer Tong, I arrived at Tai Hang Road
Nothing so far
Good
I'll be there soon
You are asking me if I know anything?
I should be the one asking you
Officer Tong didn't explain anything again
He's infamous in our bureau
He doesn't play by the rules
And he never solves any case
I read the file
There's nothing in it
Nothing in it?
Hong Kong is a mess now,
I don't understand why you came back
Isn't it better staying in the United States?
I have no relatives
Here in Hong Kong
I really can do whatever I want
And I don't count being a nomad
I'm very free here
And Hong Kong has what I want
Then what is it that you want?
Officer Tong
Did anyone come back to the 2nd floor?
No, not even the men in black you mentioned
How did it go with the leads?
An officer saw Makino in Central
in a surveillance video
As for the blackmail email
Somone is working on it
The guy you just told me about, Zachary
We are also looking into him
We just need a little more time
Time
The press conference is happening the day after
They said we had 3 days to investigate,
but not even 2 now
Who said we had 3 days?
My ex-wife
She sweet-talks me into helping her
By the way, Officer Tong
Now that you open a case,
but there's nothing in the file
Aren't you worried that
Commisioner Shiu will see it?
I will handle Shiu myself
But most importantly
We still don't know what the kidnappers want
It's just a $1 90,000 ransom
They are obviously trying to play games
Those men in black downstairs definitely
have something to do with it
If we assume K Kidnapper is an outsider
Then one of the people in the service apartment
Must be a snitch
But not the mastermind
It's them again
Police
Why did you park your car on the walkway?
ID, please
Fellow officer
Have fun
- Hey, buddy
- Yes
Be careful patrolling around
Tai Hang Road tonight
Something might happen
Okay, no problem
How about SFC?
Do they have any news?
They said the trades look normal
No abnormal transactions before they closed
But Ronald
Apparently used a company under his name
To buy 1 00,000 shares of Shen Jun's stock
Fuck!
ls he watching us?
Didn't we confiscate his phone?
He bought the shares before
he went to the service apartment
I went to sing karaoke with
some colleagues last night
I got home at midnight to work
So you brought work home
because you wanted to have fun?
Can't you be a little more responsible?
It's actually a legal transaction
Just that it happened at an odd time
And I thought he and that girl, Shek Siu-yu
Were not suspicious
You should have backups on your server, right?
I just asked someone to look for it
But the backup file has been deleted too
Huh?
Who was it?
Dylan Chik from IT Department
Actually, Officer Tong
Have you doubted your ex-wife and John?
You also think they're having an affair too?
I'm not saying they're having an affair
I meant if they are suspects too
Officer Tong
Someone's coming out
Send these photos to Wong Chiu now
Tell him to ask that IT guy, Chik
If he knows these two men
Okay
Wait
Hey
Officer Tong!
We've got nothing
to protect ourselves. Don't go
Let's go
Sir
Oh yes
Nothing really happened today
Irene sent a lot of Whatsapp messages to John
On business matters?
Yes, I watched her send them
If not, I'll screencapture them
for you next time
Sure
Huh?
All conversations?
Take a rest on the 27th floor
I'll take it from here
Thank you, sir
Morning, sir
You don't have to stay overnight
I am responsible
It doesn't seem right that
the kid was recommended
By such an important man
to work in this position
He's recommended by the CEO
from the headquarter
His grandfather is the CEO's friend
I understand
What do you understand?
Nothing
I found Zachary's apartment
It's nearby
The Man Mo Temple
"Future belongs to the next generation"
"We should listen to them"
Officer Tong?
My colleagues said you'd like
to see the manager. I'm the manager
It's you?
What a coincidence!
I didn't know it's you
It's been 3 years, right?
Why are you working here?
Actually...
This service apartment is a social enterprise
Anyway
Are you looking for Mr. Sze?
He should be in Hong Kong now
He stays here for 3 months every year
Zachary's mum is a Hong Konger
She lives in Lantau Island
She usually sends letters to her son here
Here it is
There's an address on the envelope
He should be staying with his mum now
And Shen Jun notified us that
Zachary will be checking out after this month
Maybe he resigned
Hey
That's not okay
If Officer Tong knows about this,
I'll get blamed
It'll be quick
Look at how this silly pig sleeps
Silly pig?
You two are...
Enough with taking photos
Just take the last one
Zoom in here
And take one more photo
- What did you take?
- You dozing off during work hours!
Let me see it. Give it to me
Let me see it
I have proof
She's using her cell phone
I'd like to complain that
she's using her cell phone
That student has preferential treatment
I'm giving my phone back to my teacher now
Hey
If I can find my phone
Then we will know the truth
You aren't asking me
why I can get online, are you?
As a professional IT guy
Stealing wi-fi is the basics
Yeah!
I know!
Not again
If we use computer to open the emails
The kidnapper will know
Then why don't we open the emails
with our phones?
Damn it!
That doesn't work either?
Uncle
Actually...
What is it that you want?
Hey kiddo, I'm done with you
It's true I don't know
But still I'm a better person than you
What can you do about it?
Stop trying to brush me off
I've never believed a word you say
Dr. Wu has so many patients to care for
Why would he decide to leave the hospital
For a vacation now?
Let me see him
Sir, he's really not here
Give me a break
Are you guys crazy?
How could you discharge my mum
when her doctor is not here?
Why don't you give me his number
and let me talk to him?
No, sir, that's not allowed in the system
System. We're talking system now?
The world is ending because of system
You are crazy
I'm telling you
My mom will not leave the hospital
You hear that?
Sometimes, ignorance
ls a bliss
Fuck you!
Hey, that's mine
You can argue, but don't throw things
You think we don't know?
You only got to work here
because of your grandpa
Everyone knows about this
Your grandpa is Chik Kuen
You're born with a silver spoon
Who are you to criticize me?
Come on, come and fight me
Throw a straight punch
You can throw things, but don't fight
Yeah
Go and play with your video games
You don't need to work anyway
You're the grandson of...
The richest Chinese American
You're not even born with a silver spoon
You're born with a gold spoon!
- Born with a gold spoon!
- Shut up!
Sit down!
Born with a gold spoon
Work
Hi
Excuse me
Nurse
I'm his friend. What happened just now?
That's right
The doctor said his mother is recovering well.
He can visit her every other day now
But he doesn't want to believe it
Can you help persuade him?
I'd like to have the contact of the doctor
I want to ask you a question first
ls this related to CHOK?
How do you know?
CHOK is the only contribution I made
To this world
I don't know you
And you came all this way to find me
If it's not about CHOK,
I don't see what else it is
ls it about that screenshot?
I have nothing to do with it
Carlos wants me gone a long time ago
He is just looking for an excuse to kick me out
You believe him?
Did he tell you about...
CHOK and the driverless car?
He's crazy!
Do you know what that means?
It can sell your information anytime
The government will be able to track you
Everyone of us will be monitored
Even if you say a wrong thing
It can...
Lock you in the car
And take you to the police station
CHOK shouldn't be like this
The world of CHOK should be a free state
Isn't it good though?
If someone breaks the law
He'll be driven directly to the police station
That's good
Then you will lose your job
Me?
I'm going to get my pension soon
It has nothing to do with me
I'm blaming your generation
Your generation
Only cares about yourselves
For you
all you care is whether CHOK
Can help you buy coffee
But CHOK consists of a large amount of data
It does more than just buying things for you
It can...
monitor or even countervail the system
Through mass mobilization in network
From then on
Social mobility no longer runs
by an unilateral decision
Do your colleagues know about your thoughts?
When did you start to disagree?
They have been making
a fool of me for over a year
Okay
They can make fun of me all they want
This is between me and my company
But they have no rights to mess with my testers
And they still haven't paid me yet
How much do they owe you?
ls that your salary?
It's not. Testers don't take salary,
don't you know?
Okay
You'll never understand
That's something else
$1 90,000
$1 90,000 again?
Could that be a coincidence?
Hi
Hi, Dr. Wu
Hello, I'm Mr. Sze
Are you alright?
Hey
Are you okay?
You knew it too?
We all knew it
Okay
Just give me time to calm down
Or send me your photos again
Did you find your phone?
Not yet
You can give me yours
It's the same model anyway
Will that make you feel better?
Perhaps
Okay
My phone
ls in this building
Officer Tong, I just checked
This guy is so annoying
That everyone recognizes him
That's why everyone here
Can prove that
he's been here the last 4 to 5 days
Taking care of his mother
But this is a case
Where everything was
operated through the computer
The alibis
Basically mean nothing
Do you think he really did it?
$1 90,000
He is related one way or another
Go and talk to Miu
See if those guys
Have been involved with this fool lately?
Yes, sir
Oh, right, one more thing
That Makino
Did go to pick up the diamond that day
But he didn't come back
to the office immediately after
He went to
The serviced apartment
where they are staying now
Why did he go there?
He dropped off a letter
And went back to the office
Only to find that everyone
was at the service apartment
So he rushed over
There's something sneaky
About all these guys
Officer Tong, Mui Wo should be that way
This road will bring us to Tai O
We are here anyway. Let's go get some souvenirs
Souvenirs?
Whose is this?
Why don't you pick it up?
I don't want it anymore
Officer Tong
What are Dylan and Wong Chiu doing outside?
Probably chit chatting
Then why don't you join them?
Yes
This is what you asked me to check
It's all done
Their phone numbers match
with the company names
Nothing abnormal
So all's well ends well?
You can say that
I bought it in Tai O
Thank you
Hey guys
Hey, It's 1 1 pm
John is here, everyone stop working
It's time to open the second email
See what does it say?
Time's up
Hi, John
Nine Wu bid
Find...
Cow dung based mosquito repellent
Right
Before midnight
Buy them all
K Kidnapper
Bidding cow dung
based mosquito repellent online?
Nine Wu?
What is that?
It's not Nine Wu, it's Gou Wu
Gou Wu means shopping
What does that mean?
Why should we listen to him?
Uncle, you keep on doing this?
If we don't, he will disclose
our customer's information
Hey
No matter what.
Let's log onto the website first
Who has an account?
I do
Buy them all
That really is a thing
They have 200 of them
Each sold at $950
200 multiplied by $950
That's exactly $1 90,000
Found it
This was invented by a college student
Who dried cow dung and
make it into Eco repellent
Do you have that much money?
No, I don't
You can give me all that $1 90,000
I meant you can transfer the amount to me
Alright, I will transfer to you now
Siu-yu, prepare to make the transfer
Hurry up
Write down the names of the sellers
Yes
What's the point of writing it down?
This is what I call
Obstructing investigation and
wasting police manpower
What a bunch of 20th century morons
This is the 21 st century
Learn how to use the internet
In my opinion
We should just contact the sellers
with the highest ratings
Those are the ones who will reply for sure
Done
Hurry
There was more than 1 0 just now
You do the counting then
No need to count.
There's a number on the upper left corner
Why didn't you say so?
- Oh my god, Ronald
- You should have told us earlier
Okay, shut up, guys, okay?
Why do you have a new phone?
Who let you out to buy it?
You are asking me?
Uncle
This is not a cellphone.
It's for listening to music
You wanna take a look?
Go go go. Hurry up
Hurry
That's it!
This is the last one
1 1 :53
Done
- Yeah
- Thank you
Good job, guys!
Well done
"I want to buy the cow dung mosquito repellent"
"Yours is expensive, is it more authentic?"
Hey
Let's play safe
and check if they bought enough
Yes, sir
There's no need to check
Just see if he's just spent $1 90,000
from his account
Oh yes
All you do is check
I'll throw you a straight punch, gold spoon
Straight punch...
Hey
Officer Tong, I've got some updates
You told our colleagues to check on Dylan
And his lost phone, right?
They just found out.
That the phone was turned on for two minutes
Location
ls exactly at the apartment building you are at
Other than that...
ls this case
Done by the obnoxious gold spoon
Or the faux-Japanese?
I know it well
Officer Tong
He keeps saying he can't get to sleep.
He wants to talk with you
Want a beer, Officer Tong?
I think it's Makino
Why do you think so?
Process of elimination
$1 90,000
ls nothing to Irene and Ronald
And Siu-yu...
Graduate of global business from HKUST
In 3 years, she'll be earning
an annual salary of $1 million
But the ransom was only $1 90,000
Why such a small amount?
And you're wealthy
Therefore, there's only one possibility
Each sold at $950
200 multiplied by $950
That's exactly $1 90,000
You can give me all that $1 90,000
It's gotta be Makino then
Makino's family
ls also quite well off
- Hi
- Mr. Makino
Welcome
But he and his wife are big spenders
They always complain about their cashflow
They're planning a wedding
Heard that his dad wouldn't let him 'out bud'
"Out bud"?
"Out bud"
Out of budget
Or overbudget, uncle!
I need to find some high grade stuff
It's for my wife
But...
ls $1 90,000 enough for all that?
$1 90,000
It's not too much or little
John wouldn't hold anyone accountable
Then they can definitely keep it
Let's stop with all these conspiracy theories
You've read too many mystery novels
Uncle
Times have changed
Before I came back to Hong Kong
I was backpacking through
South America for a year
A homeless guy told me
There are jobs that existed 5 years ago
That don't exist now
And 5 years later
There will be jobs that
we can't even fathom right now
Sometimes you'd think that
you're 5 years behind
But you're actually a decade behind
Have you ever thought about
Why John chose you to help
with this investigation?
With his connections,
he can ask the deputy commissioner
It's just 3 days
Your ex-wife is...
Correct
I know who you are
It was you who took my phone
Found it
This was invented by a college student
Who dried cow dung and
make it into Eco repellent
Just remember
Call me...
- When you find the file
- Okay
Hey
What is this?
I'll tell you later
You could be on to something
But I have a question for you
Go ahead
Officer Tong, I've got some updates
You told our colleagues to check on Dylan
And his lost phone, right?
They just found out.
That the phone was turned on for two minutes
Location
ls exactly at the apartment building you are at
Other than that...
We've found out that
The first email blackmailing John
Was sent from your phone
Looks like my five years are not up yet!
No idea
Let the game go on
Let's put it this way
You know that my phone was stolen
If that person uses my phone
To kill by hitting someone on the head
That's out of my control
You knew there was a snitch
You were sure of that
So he commited the crime
And framed me
That makes perfect sense
So who do you think did this?
I still think it's Makino
He was there the night I lost my phone
Just let him
Drink
Do it for your girl!
A bet's a bet
Deal
"Am I a fool for paying that $60,000?"
"ls this a scam?"
"Makino"
"Give me a number.
Why can't you just sell it back to me?"
"Forget it. I'll ask someone else"
"Don't bother asking. No one has the real deal"
"Why? Don't we have to finish transaction?"
"Fallen Angel typing"
"A friend sent us this photo and
said someone will pay for us"
"What friend is that?"
"A friend that owes us money"
Hey, are you hungry?
A little
Help me finish it?
Thank you
The testers don't take salary
$1 90,000
What is he doing?
My intern is dividing the 300 flyers
Into individual stacks of 50 by height
Fuck
"Fallen Angel (offline)"
People are purchasing white t-shirts by storm
This happened in 6 different stores
of the same brand today
All the customers had a tacit understanding
They all refused to make
any statement to the press
Well?
The taste didn't change much, right?
The coffee?
What I brought from Tai O yesterday
Hey, Irene
The waffle you gave me
Tasted really good
What's the flavor?
ls it green tea?
Yes, I think so
Let me know when you get it next time
What is it?
What did I do wrong this time?
If it's nothing, then I'm going
back out to watch TV
Hey, It's time
Everyone, stop working
We need to open the last email from K Kidnapper
Press conference will start this afternoon
K Kidnapper'd better make his demands clear
Count down
5 second left
4, 3, 2, 1
Hi John
One
Thanks for your $1 90,000
Two
1 5:00
Outside Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui
Three. Put on white tee by Le Coq Sportif
To collect 200 boxes of...
Cow dung mosquito repellent
Four
Ferry your office
Five
Stick them on the windows
With instructions in bags. From K Kidnapper
P.S. Some people will be
following you, be careful
We paid the $1 90,000 ransom
What else does he want?
He's playing with us
How do we carry 200 boxes?
Relax, Ronald
Don't ruin the whole thing
Just follow the instructions till the end
Please tell me you're not sending us, John
They didn't specify who should be going
Then we should go
It's just a $1 90,000 ransom
They are obviously trying to play games
I suspected it might be
an employee called Zachary
He used to work in Silicon Valley
But they have no rights to mess with my testers
$1 90,000
What's up, Tong Fu?
We're in a serious situation, I need backup
You know it's serious too?
Yet you came to me after you've paid the ransom
Ashely has already reported to me
By the way, Officer Tong
Now that you open a case,
but there's nothing in the file
Aren't you worried that
Commisioner Shiu will see it?
I'll handle Shiu myself
But most importantly
We still don't know what the kidnappers want
He's infamous in CCB
He doesn't play anything by the rules
And he never solves any case
The worst thing is...
We need to clean up his mess
CD?
Commercial Crime Bureau, CCB
I just wanted to see when you'd come find me
Must be a snitch
Give me some more time
Why don't you give me more time?
Every team is occupied right now
How can I send more people within 2 hours?
I clicked into the case folder
It's all junk in there
The statement isn't there
The two people who reported the crime
Are both suspects
I can't record my statement yet
This case can't be leaked out
Otherwise
The stock market is going to plummet
And a financial crisis will ensue
Who's taking responsibility for that?
Financial crisis?
Tong Fu, are you threaten me?
Glasses cameras are ready
Ma Hon, what are you doing?
My glasses are dirty, I was just cleaning it
Captain
We've found something
We found two white plastic bags
with boxes inside
We suspect them to be
cow dung mosquito repellent
Team A has found 2 bags in Zone 1
2 white plastic bags
I repeat
There are 1m x 0.5m pink boxes inside
The white plastic bags
Do not remove the bags if you find any
Just keep an eye on them
We've found something
Team B is now at the 2/F of Zone 2
Also found it
Roger, Team B
Team C, what's your location?
Be careful
Team C is at Zone 4
We're not sure if we've found anything
Team E has looked all over Zone 5
Searched all the entry points on Salisbury Road
Nothing so far
Us three will split up and keep looking
Team B is in Zone 3
We've found plastic bags
below one of the slanted pillars
Outside of the Cultural Centre
I think it was put there just now
It wasn't there 1 0 seconds ago
When I walked past it
Got it, Team B
Alright, we've found 6 bags.
We have 3 minutes until 3pm
The 3 teams that have found their target
Send one member each to help Team C
Okay, got it
I think we're being watched
Team A is regrouping
We have 1 minute left
Two members from Team B have regrouped
We've found at least 8 bags
We couldn't find all 1 0, 8 is useless
We're not giving up with
just 2 bags left to find
Pay attention
We have 30 seconds left
It's over
Why is it always us that screw up?
I can't go on
Damn, it's right here
It's hidden so low
Everybody pay
1 0 seconds left
I've found it, come help me out
What is it?
My arm isn't long enough
You're such a hassle
It's not my intention
Miu, get to work
It's time. Action
Get to the pier now
Come back quickly
Did you get it?
It's stuck
This isn't fishing
Sir, there's really someone following us
Be careful
They left
Can you do it?
A crippled guy can run faster than us
There's someone catching up to us
Out of our way!
Quickly!
Damn it!
Sir, there's a swarm of people
wearing the same clothes
What should we do?
What is it? Cheung Chau Da Jiu Festival?
Let's rush in together
I can't tell who's who
Get in there
Let's get in
Are you guys together?
Go this way
This way, this way
They went into the pier
- Sir, what's going on?
- Get lost
They don't know you
You can't get in.
They commandeered the ferry
They went in
Hey, be more cultured
This is Hong Kong
Stop pushing
Get in the gate
Stop pushing!
"We want the ferry back! Have a say!"
"Wear t-shirts"
"And take ferry back and forth
from Central tomorrow at 3pm"
An organization against
the relocation of the ferry pier
Organized a protest online
Earlier this afternoon
They swarmed Tsim Sha Tsui pier
The white tshirts are the ones
from the sporting goods chain
That had a wave of purchases
earlier this morning
The protesters all wear white tshirts,
white shoes and jeans
There were about 200 people
Chanting along the way
That commandeered a star ferry
And went from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui,
then back again
In order to protest again
the relocation of the pier
It caught the attention of many people
along the harbour
Some even took videos with their phones
First team has arrived,
they're taking the elevator
Yes
There are instructions inside
Stack up the boxes
There are numbers below the boxes
Just follow the numbers
- 1 5
- Give me number 23
Sorry, 23 should go here
This is 1 5
Hurry up, cop
Come here
What is it, sir?
Go to the building over there
And let us know what you see
- Okay?
- Yes, sir
Stop playing with your phone
Ma Hon is sending a WhatsApp message to me
He took a photo
from the building across the road
Officer Tong, take a look
Everybody quiet down
What do you two want?
Do you guys hear something?
- 4:1 0pm
- It's your voice
Shut up
2 minutes left
Go! Go down the stairs!
Damn! I ran all this way for nothing
Are you hurt?
I'm okay
What is it?
She sprained her ankle
Go take a break
He returned safely
He's at the door
Coming up now
Auntie, aren't you in Shenzhen?
He's back, he's back
Oh he's finally back
Dylan's home!
Auntie, don't you need
to watch over your factory?
Why did you all fly back to Hong Kong?
What the hell are you talking about, Dylan?
Dylan
How are you doing?
You okay?
I'm okay
Grandpa
What is it? Where are all your
black bodyguards? Where's O'Neal?
You fired him?
Enough!
Dylan
Do you know what happened in the past 2 days?
Calm down
Money is not important
As long as he gets back home safely
No idea
What do you mean, 'no idea'?
Good job, Shek Siu-yu
Did you take photos of me?
What else do I have to know?
"Does diamond have a higher value..."
"than dreams?"
"Siu-yu"

The public has used this new app
To arouse social pressure
Today, we've invited the founder of this app
To have a chat with us
- Hello, Zachary
- Hi
What is the most important about this app?
The main function of this app...
ls to gather forces through the internet
To monitor and go against the system
From this point onwards
Social mobility no longer runs
by an unilateral decision
Every citizen has the power to go
against the grain
Siu-yu. Here we are
Was it difficult to find?
I had to change cars a couple of times
Spent a few hundred bucks
You could've woken up earlier
Take the subway and switch to a bus
There are several hundreds diamonds
A couple hundred dollar is nothing
Don't you think it's fun?
Back then
You had no idea what was going on
There was never a file in the server
No matter how good the hacker is
There's no way of not leaving a trace
You're not doing it for fun?
Actually, I really don't know
How much longer I can stay in Shen Jun
Carlos Lim, the CFO from Malaysia
He's been trying to kick me out
Hey, sorry I'm late
The diamond wholesaler just called me
He wanted to clarify something
Those oldies are quite something
They don't use computers
They only use pen and paper
I don't know how long it's been
since they last renovated the place
ls the ring the most
important thing in a proposal?
Of course
But it's settled
Luckily Siu-yu brought me up there last week
The place is kinda dark and old
But It's definitely super cheap
I can't resist
What's the password?
It's my birthday
Oh no!
Come on
You didn't leave any for yourself?
I want to ask you both
Do you think that...
Diamonds count as a...
Universal currency?
Are you talking about 'universal unity' again?
I'm going to the bathroom
To have enough universalizability
And for it to be worth something substantial
Gold is the only thing
And the cryptocurrency that
You've designed in CHOK
Your newest iteration of CHOK
I've found you some investors
Really?
Where does the money originate from?
You know how it is.
I don't want to be ridden on by an investor
Like Shen Jun
You won't
Because I'm the one helping you this time
Besides
The $1 90,000 in crypto-currency
that the testers used last time
I'll take care of it
However
You can't ask where the money came from
And you can't tell anyone about it
So secretive?
Give me some time
The funds will be in place soon
I also want to bring
in one more person to help you
- ls he a local?
- No
He grew up in the US, just like you
But you went to Stanford, he went to MIT
ls it Makino?
Outside
- Freeze!
- Stop right there!
Freeze!
Police, freeze!
There's a fight
No way

When will you be free?"
Madam, I need to use the washroom
Okay
"Mr. Chik, hello"
"The good news is that
your grandson is safe right now"
"But the bad news is..."
He's talking about CHOK
Have you found your phone yet?
Not yet
You can give me yours
It's the same model anyway
What did you take?
Give it to me. Let me see
- What did you take?
- You dozing off during work hours
I have proof
You're using a cell phone
I'd like to complain that
she's using a cell phone
That student has preferential treatment
"Are the bag of diamonds"
"that 1 99 empty boxes of
cow dung mosquito repellent"
"and the alarm clock ready?"
I've checked
You purchased the
'Homeless Cow Shelter' property
Then they don't need to worry about
any increase of rent,
or the land being reclaimed
Also...
Cow dung mosquito repellent
ls a product of the 'Homeless Cow Shelter'
9 years ago
There was an accident here
Involving a school bus
A family of cows were killed
I've checked the website
It was a field trip of your school
You were there when it happened
You felt sorry for the cows
So you orchestrated this whole thing
And blackmailed my grandfather
- Bye
- Alright, bye
Good morning
Good morning, Makino
This is for you
Thanks, Monica
You have it good
Someone treating you coffee
the moment you step in
Too bad I'm taken
Hey
This piece
I got it for 40% off
It's cheaper than getting it
from the illegal store
40% off?
Why is that?
An anonymous person told me to place cash
That's 40% off the actual amount
at the hotel reception
And then he sent me the diamond
40% off
So cheap!
Can I have a look?
Who's that mysterious person?
What if it was a scam?
Impossible
The invitation card sent to me earlier
Had the exact time and dates of my whereabouts
How many carats are you looking for?
- I've got something good for you
- Cool
Come over here, have a seat
He even knows how I want the cut
How could it be a scam?
See?
It's the real deal
I have it
It's all legit
Don't worry about a thing
As long as you're Siu-yu's friend
I trust Siu-yu the most
We've sent out 200 cards
At least half of them were willing to pay
Hong Kongers
Are greedy and cheap
Did you know that 4 years ago
I saw you in Admiralty before I joined A&B
I recognize you
Are you trying to tell me
You stayed in Hong Kong
And joined A&B
Because of me?
Are you interested in a job
that better suits you?
Like what?
My family's business is expanding to Hong Kong
My uncle thinks you have guts
What do you think?
Change?
Everyone wants change
But when will anyone do something about it?
If no one would
Then I'll step up
How about I ask you a question instead
What do you think of...

Breaking the law?
Sun Yat-sen broke the law back then

John?
Okay. I'm on my way up

Okay
All the main characters are in place
Irene did reach out to her ex-husband
CHOK, isn't it?
This guy is really famous
If CHOK remained under Shen Jun
It'll just become an e-commerce platform
I thought CHOK has been shelved?
My boss tells me that
Shen Jun has already decided
That CHOK has already been shelved
But now the Malaysian is in charge
He's making a whole new version
A new version of CHOK?
Yes

Officer Tong found out that
you were still in contact with Makino
And what else did the great detective find out?
Zachary wanted to rebuild

The first step was in Hong Kong
It'll take 5 to 1 0 years to popularize
So if we're going to take this seriously
We need to work on an app
I guess you don't want
to get into the family business

I want to develop this app in Hong Kong
It's to mobilize
But what I want to achieve is
To encourage people to

It's you again?
It's been 6 weeks

You don't need to come back for check ups
Don't come back
