To Be Number One (1991) - full transcript

The story of Ho, a chinese peasant/slave worker who escapes to Hong Kong and becomes one of the most feared crime bosses in Hong Kong.

Jesus says someone has 2 sons

the elder is good while the younger is not

the younger even runs away but soon regrets

he returns and his father is better
to him than to his elder brother

This story tells us

Though you committed a sin

God will not discriminate

as long as you correct yourself

and will love you even more

OK, I'll now ask the 1347,
the one with the highest attendance

to tell us his own experience



Now we'll see if you're loyal or not

If the officer takes you as friend

then it will be fixed

Sure! I'm pretty loyal

Have you been to Temple Street?

Yes, about 3 times

To find hookers?

Last 2 months in Temple Street,
there was a robbery

and a rape case, were you responsible for them?

Of course not!

Now we'll see if you're really loyal enough

Want to make friends with the officers?

Yeah

You want to?



Now, we're charging you of illegal gambling

and you'll get the same sentence
if you confess of those two cases as well

as all sentences will be simultaneous

OK! It's fine with me

You shall decide for me

Am I loyal now?

Take his testimony please

Yes

When did you come to HK?

Approximately 2 years

What?

What do you mean?

On 31st December of last year

And today is 7th of January

You've come only 7 days?

You said you'd confess the
2 cases of the past months

You bastard! Dare you fool me?

But you fooled me first!

So I played in return!

What do you mean?

You want to fool?

Fight back?

Dame you! you hurt me

You bastard police! You beat me hard

You bastard police! You beat me hard

What are you doing?

You beat again?

Head, this guy committed
the cases in Temple Street

Did he only commit illegal gambling?

You mustn't just frame anyone

Uncuff him

- Head!
- Uncuff him

Go out now

Yes. sir

Where in Shatow are you from?

Lohin of Shatow

Seeing we're folk of the same place,
I'll help you once

I'll try my best for you

Take your own things and go away

Thanks

let him go

Hey, homeland folk

May I know your name?

Hey, come out

Ho

How is it. Ho?

How is it?

Need to be sent back?

Need to go to jail?

You're nut!

You know from the way I am now

I even meet a inspector, who is our homeland folk

I was flattered

he even offered me a meal

He's so good to you

- and make friend with an inspector
- Yeah

Why are you always so lucky?

And they arrested only you?

Why?

Li!

You have a date off on Friday?

Go and play with me if so

Hey, look at her eyes

She wants me to do her

Money is utmost important in HK

Women will follow you round with money

You must be powerful if you want money

What must I do if I'm not powerful now?

Well, stick to powerful people

Who are powerful men?

Those policemen

and drug traffickers

and these lousy jobs

are not our cups of tea

We were born

to do big jobs!

Old bag

Are you blind?

You put this in it too?

Boss, say if you are so sly

Give me this left over with phlegm?

You let us eat this?

Shit, just wipe it off

Why so panic?

Now it's fixed

What do you mean?

You lousy peasants

forget the poverty up there?

During famine, even if there were turds in it

crowds rushed to eat it

You are lousy

Are you two nuts?

You make the dumpling so big?

You're making super ones?

You eat 6 bowls of rice each meal

and then go to toilet many times

so often that there is no more toilet paper

I've caught you now

Stealing and excreting

Charge you 10 cent each sheet

Why don't you rob?

Why can't l?

- But you steal
- Ho

Hey, I'm scolding you! Where are you going?

How much paper are you hiding?

We've found the address

I'll count 3 and you must hand it out

or I'll dismiss you

But I'm quitting you damn thing now!

Let's go, something big is going on

Hey

There's nose water?

I'm quitting, damn you!

Are we in the wrong house?

No, this is our dog LUCKY!

Oh, our jewels!

Very nice

It's precious

what is this?

You're always so selfish

You don't care about others!

You tried hard to move it, take the whole box now

Foreign food is still foreign

it's still tastier with our homeland food

Brother, look carefully for the dog logo

we shall buy some for mom when we go homeland

Man!

What is it written?

Scotland dog feed

Food for dogs!

Don't know?

You're quite clever!

You have such avant-garde idea?

When I was in homeland

You saw it

all dogs used to eat shit and turd

Yeah, it's fussy to make food specially for dogs!

Even Chairman Mao didn't think of this

You're too stupid

But why is it called dog feed?

It's the brand name

It's called Scotland Dog

In Tientsin, there's a Dog-Ignor buns

You mean even dogs won't eat?

I say you're nut

Man, try it

We shall all try

Come on, try it

Ho, try it

give me back

Ming, you're really giving it to me?

Yes, is it nice?

I'll bet $20 on that with one eye

Ho, I'll follow you with $2O

Why bet on the one eye cock?

Sure, that is a cock from Ching Yuen

and the one eye cock is from Shatow

of course we'll bet on things from our folkland

that Shatow cock is thin, I say it'll lose

We won't know until it fights

even if it'll lose, I must still bet on it

Don't say so, shit!

Dumm, what are you saying!

Ming?

He said we robbed several times in his area

that we took him as transparent

now he's giving us three days

to take a pig

and $3000 for their boss, Ping

those Haken in Shek Kip Mei

They're strong, how can we face it?

Let's look for Cool Kwan

It's little I know

Don't refuse it!

I'll count you in for whatever I make

But I hate crime most

I'll forget what you just did

I must remind you

You'd better be good and not commit a crime

or I'll not give face to you, take it back

Ho, this reporter is poor

and wants to hand in his ID for heroin

Master Ho

It's hard to be reporter?

It's hard to work day and night

Kun, if ever you're short of money

just say it to Ming

How can I do this, Master Ho?

I just love friends from your field

Let's keep to touch

Chi's family is here

Take them there

Man, the woman comes for the stuff?

She's to take Chi

Chi's sister?

No, Chi's sister-in-law, why?

Nothing

but she's been widow for 3 years,
with two children

Has she?

Yeah, do you want to go too?

OK, I want to see Chi

Why, you like her too?

Mind you'll get VD as you likes any women

Damn you!

Watch out!

This is Ho, Tse Yuen Ying

Hi, Miss Tse

Let's get a taxi

No. I have a car

So you have a car?

Few women drive a truck

Few men sell heroin

Doctor, you must take care
of him until he recovers

We'll pay for his expenses

Good

He says he knows nothing

but fighting, and will fight for you

Mom, look

Uncle Ho bought us many toys

Yes

Mom, look, a water gun

Be quick

I want to ride a cow

Though I like fish, you needn't cook all fish

All dishes are fishes

Seeing they're not stale, I picked them back

You've made them like fresh fish

You're pretty smart

You're used to it?

When I was in China

the first time I tasted pork
was on my 13th birthday

Ying, it's not convenient

to bring up 2 children alone

It's a pity no one takes good care of them

Have you thought about finding a man?

No

I'll tell you frankly

For me, my home is not a home without a woman

Halu, do you like playing with uncle?

Yeah, mom

shall we let uncle Ho join us?

Eat on and keep quiet

Uncle Ho, mom says no

No!

Come On

Why so late?

We met Chinese arm-boat on the way,

You're lovely

Where's your wife?

This is Ma'am Ng

Ma'am Ng

Good, I'll give you pocket money

Where's your wife?

Mom, this is my wife's car

as to drive leader's car?

Have you asked the leader?

Mon, this is HK,

We needn't approval from leaders

Yeah

Brother Man, you can drive?

Have you another woman?

Selling noodles makes big money,

- Why so late7

You're too good to make big money

your wife is helpful

But women must be obedient

What if someone seduces your wife?

Who dares to?

Just in case, it might happen, right?

Absolutely no way,
what are you talking about, Kwan7

Your brother Ming is seducing my girl

Do you think you should hand them both to me?

I'm so convinced

We bosses

should talk only business

and shouldn't talk about girls

May is only your girl, not wife

As she's not your wife

we can share her

This is it?

You're impotent as not to keep her,

just take it

Dare you say so to me?

OK, I know what to do

You like May as she's big breasted

I'll find a bigger one for you , OK

Master Ho, Master Kwan, go to play mahjong

I never believe you,..

Why? I can never get one I need?

Where they are all now?

You cheat?

You ruin all my games,

why must you spoil mine?

Big Hak, you inform him?

Hey,

I don't come here to be scolded by you!

Sure you are not to sit, you're to lie down

I'll have you raped, bastard!

Damn you, are you playing or shouting?

Anything you like

- You are finding fault in me
- Hey, keep quiet

And be peace

Ho, don't lose your temper, Kwan is joking

Can I Say sorry after killing someone? Joking?

Can I joke

that your mom seduced a man and gave birth to you?

Who are you to speak here?

Stop, I'll teach my own men

When you beat him, you're beating me

dare you slap me?

Shut up!

We're all men from the same field

It's OK

Take it easy

I was wrong,

I must apologize to you

We are both hot-tempered, just lost and it's OK

Let's go on playing

so as to sleep here

What then?

He's not here, maybe he's left!

Lui Ko Tin

So I've seen you at last

Want to avoid me?

Don't go, where do you want to go?

I'm going to meeting

Meeting? Can you take me there too?

No

What are you doing?

No, you say no now

but you used to say yes when you wooed me

I've brought up your son for you

and now you want to desert me?

My son

Take off your hands from him

Why do you tie up my son?

Damn you! What do you want?

He's my son

I must die with him

- Draw her apart
- What do you want7

Leave me,..

Lui Ko Tin, I must die with you

Lui's wife found him

to have a mistress outside

his wife's getting mad

this woman is suffering from mental disease

so Lui wants to..,

desert her

Does Lui want his son back?

Absolutely yes

As his wife gave birth only to girls for him

Master Ho

Pimp, don't let hey die

but find her a good husband

but the sooner the better

be it in farther part of China!

Boss, Crippled Ho is here

Lock him up and detain him for 48 hours

He's holding your son

I'll go out now

Boss Lui, I come with a big present for you today

Son

Your woman will bother you no more

and this

is her ID card

It's like this

We found that she's married in China

so we asked her husband to HK

Once seeing her husband, she laughs and cries

she told me

she loves her husband most

she wants a reunion and must leave you now

and that you needn't miss her

Here is a letter

from her husband in Harbin

He says he's living happily with her in Harbin

Very happy indeed

Fat Kwan is short-sighted

He doesn't let you help you though you're so smart

Everyone knows

Fat Kwan used to be protected by me

But you didn't inform me before you acted

What do you think I am?

Damn you!

I warn you now

You must improve yourself from now on

You shall have the places of Fat Kwan

and you are to pay his family monthly, remember

When I can help you up, I can ruin you too

Do you hear?

Yes Sir

I shall remember the teaching from Boss Lui

I'll learn a lot from you

Master Kong

Be good and play over there

Dad will play with you soon

Great

sorry, have some now

for the time being

grown up now

cover that up now

Damn it! you're like a gow!

No photo?

Take one then

I said I wouldn't

What are you taking?

Come and take a photo, come on

Look at the camera, 1. Z, 3

Master Kwan

Master Kwan

Master Kwan

Congratulations on your coming out

Thanks

Okay

Since everyone is supporting on this

all the places will be divided like this

From now on

you four companies will have your own piers

You are to make your own money and have peace

Still one more thing

Ho, Kwan

You must make compromise

Take up as this is a tie

and all your private disputes before

must be forgotten from now on

Now it's all over

Boss Lui, I've always tried to be fair

I never will argue with,..

women and disabled

as I fear people will complain
of my bullying them!

Sister, any money here?

Give me some for settling the bill first

Hung, you've borrowed $250,POO so far

Stop for a while if you keep losing

Forget if if you won't lend me

Ho. ask him to the table

Fatty, Crippled Ho loves you much

All pretty girls are waiting for you tonight

There're singers, models and air-hostesses

you haven't made love for long

Choose two of them and make it double tonight

But most important is to tell Crippled Ho

Crippled Ho!

Damn it! I must damn it

Master Kwan, I'll drink with you

OK, Mary, you've made the right choice

What now?

What, I've forgotten my cheque book today

I'll owe you that money

Can't I pay you back tomorrow?

You mustn't talk so loudly

You owe us altogether 8180,POO

Stop betting if you can't afford

I have boss to face

Quarrel for this trivial?

This is our rule8

Hey, this is $40,POO

Take it first

It's your luck

Boss Fung, please

Master Fung, Hung is our man,

he shouldn't take your money

But we are like the same family

We needn't take it so serious, sister

No. it's not so

whoever has lost money

shall divide this money

Thanks Fung, you are so good

To table please

Crippled Ho, drink with Fat Kwan

We guys need gut, strength and kung fu

but I am wrong now

Look at the lousy you

so a crippled guy like you do make money

It's not fair at all

So a crippled becomes rich, isn't it unfair?

is to show I'm trying to be in good terms with him

during the past few years

I've made much efforts with
Sham Shui Po and Wanchai

and I've just handed them over to Fat Kwan

when I get in return

is the deserted region of Kung Tong and Chai Wan

but I have no objection

as this is idea of Boss Lui

Boss

in my whole life

he's the only who can convince me

if he says so

it's good with me

But in my whole life, there's one thing I regret

It's my leg

and people outside

give me a nicked name of Crippled Ho

it was invented by Fat Kwan

and spread out when he was in Stanley Prison

Since I fetched him out until now

he's mentioned that 13 times

I'll definitely outrage if he says that once more

and no one can stop me!

Yes, I'm to be blamed!

I'm too bad to say so

You will all be witnesses

Starting this minute

if I ever call you Crippled Ho again

you can punish me anything

even have me sodomized!

I'm giving you back this cup

Good, Master Kwan is gentleman

OK. Sit down

Pour the wine, to the full

Miss Ho

Please

Why do you come?

Why you here?

Aren't you coming for me?

Can I enter only if I know you?

Why are you so thin?

Why don't you have your hair cut?

Master Kwan, why are you staring at me angrily?

Still angry with me?

Who asked her to come?

Who asked her to come here?

Who?

Husband

Protect me now, someone wants to kill me

I'm scared

Don't panic

Don't be afraid

Hey, drink this

Whoever invited this pretty girl here

must be a super-powerful guy

Boss, I've guessed it's you!

Now, take a look

Pretty girl with a handsome guy,
two of a kind, right?

I must drink with you two

Boss, I drink to show my respect

OK, let's drink with them too

Come on, everybody cheers, bottom up!

Boss, we want to drink with you, come on

Don't drink so much if you can't!

Shit! I've been bullied

I've lost my face, I can't let it go

I must get May back

Master Ho

I really love May

I'd rather die if I must go without her

I want to die

Die? Go and die if you must

Damn you! You're not a man?

I'll help you get May back

Can you?

You deserve it

You're impotent

How many times have I asked you to quit that?

Have you listened once?

How have you helped me for all these years?

You've spoilt whatever you laid a hand on!

Bastard, but for our friendship

I would have cast you away

and let you die in toilet!

Damn you!

I've been facing pressure

and made to take early retirement

In two weeks time

I'll emigrate to Canada

Shit! Is it so serious?

People think Kitter is lousy

but I tell you

the anti-corruption action of ICAC is severe

and everyone is on the nerve

During this period

you and Fat Kwan still
do all the killing and fighting

you want the seniors to step on you?

I order that you stop now

I'll arrange you to sit together

and try to have peace

Where to?

You assure me they will not kill me?

At my villa in Tsuen Wan

They can each take a body guard

while you can take two

No one is to take weapons along

and for security

my men will see to it

then it's very safe!

I can consider it

Who dare to start dispute in your area?

Right, Loud Hung wants us
to back him for boss's position

What do you think?

Shit! The Seniors made it clear

they want a clean guy

and Loud Hung's file is full of bad remarks

he can never get a promotion

He can bribe someone

Anything can be do with money

It's different now

Not everything can be done with bribery

Ho!

You'd better think about stopping now

it'll be too bad if you get arrested!

Loud Hung, you are to hide
the gun under the coffee table

Before 8 o'clock

you're to get controlled of Lui's people

At 8:05

Hak, you people are to get the gun
from the coffee table

and kill his three body guards

Simultaneously

Man, Ming

you're to bring help in

I estimate

we can open champagne at 8:1O

Why don't you laugh?

Isn't it funny?

As we do killing in Lui's villa

how can we tell Lui?

Shit! I don't care how to

He's on the run himself

A retired inspector is a disabled

like a tiger without teeth!

Take him as paper-tiger

I hear that ICAC is a mighty organisation

if we start these killings

I fear it will bring us trouble

This is woman's opinion

All officer corrupt, my dear

insisted to get rid of all crimes

the Anti-Corruption unit set up in 1969

achieved what? Nothing

They indeed set that up to make more dirty money

I keep sober myself all the time

I know what ICAC is

About this department

it was called to set up by HK Governor himself

as he wants dirty money himself

then the dirty money needn't pass through,..,

Inspectors or whoever else

Shit! I'll prepare 5 million dollars to talk with him

You might have a suit made

and HK Governor will invite me to party next year

and the year after I'll get a reward

Master Ho, Master Hak, your wife calls you

tell her I'm too busy in meeting

Ho, we can never spend,..

our money for all our life

Why must do try hard for this business?

Master Ho, I agree with sister

We've worked hard so long

it's time we enjoyed ourselves

Ming!

Master Ho, I'm not addicted, I have a cold

A cold? Hak, do you have opinion?

Brother, what do you think?

No, I have no opinion

I've always listened to Master Ho

and won't take offence

I didn't mean playing mahjong

I mean to fight!

Brother, where was I?

You have no opinion

Oh, yes

But I have just thought of something

Even if we don't think for men

we still must think for our wives and children

Am I correct?

It's pretty correct

Excuse me, Master Ho, Master Hak

Your wife insists you go home
for dinner within 15 minutes

Get out!

Yes

Stop eating!

Dad!

What again?

Nothing, want to read my report card?

Take it to me is there red?

Yes

Have many subject did you fail?

Five

You've made much progress then

Now go out first

I'll give you $500 later

Thanks dad, I go out now, mom!

How did you teach her?

What about the tutors?

She failed in so many subjects?

Damn it!

I can't imagine you end like this

You have good house now

and now you are important persons?

You must remember

when we were in coolie house

we had hard lives then

the five of us killed hundreds of Ping's men

we were so brave but now you complain

Do you know chances don't often come

This is a real good chance for us

Just 5 minutes

and the four families will disappear forever

and only we left!

OK, let's do it

then we can enjoy peace

Master Ho, it's right to take action

I must applaud for your decision

Hey, why do you do that when I'm speaking?

I have natural call, I want to go to toilet

Damn you! I've asked you not to take heroin

but you must take on

You! I've asked you to watch him,
how did you do it7

You! You know nothing but gambling

Do you know how much you have lost?

The spelling of our family's name

are all in here

Mr Chan

It's cheaper to buy return tickets to Toronto

No, just single will do

I'm Tse Yun Ying, hope you bless Ho

to fulfill his ambition

we will come and thank you again if we succeed

We'll build paths and bridges

Mrs Ng

Dad

Good

Pay attention in class, OK?

Fire the tutor!

Master Ho

Boss

Are you all here?

Sorry, I must search every of you to ease you up

Sorry, Master Kwan

Take a seat

Sorry, please stay behind

Let's play cards

Even after I leave

I'll still watch closely

I'll teach him a lesson if anyone eats words

Do you remember 1966?

Kan and Hok were fighting for areas?

I asked them to settle dispute but they refused

so I arrested all 300 of them

Hey, where to?

To toilet

I say you go take heroin

Knowing we're working, I have taken it already

Don't get away, it's nearly time

You're hopeless!

Hak, shall we play Throwing Coins?

Throwing Coins? You're still a kid?

I love Throwing Coins, come on

I keep getting lousy cards, shit!

Come on

Why complain?

Why? What good is there?

Why? You're playing with coins?

Hak Brothers, are you men?

You don't call hookers, don't bet,

and now play coins?

He dare not, as his wife is tigress!

Go on

Hey, start the car

Drive away or I'll give you a ticket

Which station do you belong? I'm man of Ho

I'm Chan Tai Man

Go away if you have duty, Sergeant

This is not your business

You're Chan Tai Man? Ho's guy?

We are Master Kwan's men

It's bad

Arrest them all, and retain for 12 hours

Yes. sir

Shit, double cards

Hoo, come down a while

OK, I'm coming

Go on playing without me

Where are they?

What are you doing?

Sorry, this is for the good sake of you

Pretend you see nothing if anything happens

Master Ho will give you,..,

and I'll tell you a news

I'll be promoted to the Chief Inspector's position

Take it

Hey don't find

It's all fixed

You've got the wrong number, bitch!

Master, no bullets here?

Be quick, help him up

Bother, inform Master Ho

What is it?

Master Ho, Loud Hung betrays us,
no bullets in the gun

Why? Stop! You want to rebel?

Are you nut? Do you take me as your boss?

Don't fight

Master Ho, be quick

Run away, Master Ho

Master Ho, get in the car, Hak, go now

Let's go Chi

- Chi, Let's go
- Go

Chi

With medical term.

he's a 'Plant'

is spine is broken and bleeding in the brain

it means he never thinks or feels

then we must try to keep him alive

he'll lose weight,

until he is 60 lbs

He may survive for 10 years

Little Hak

Little Hak

Answer me, Little Hak

You mustn't scare me!

I'm Big Hak

Little Hak

Little Hak, Mom is waiting for us in homeland

Mom wants to see our family
as she's never met them

I'll take you back to see her

I'll take you back to mom

I'll take you back

Big Hak, take it easy

Stop this

Little Hak won't survive anymore

We are Hak brother8

I must live with you

No way

Little Hak

Master Hung, why do you suddenly have a leave?

How can we find you during your leave?

You won't find me

Nobody will

Master Hung, the car won't start

It's too unlucky with all these

Come over, we'll give you a lift

Thanks

Thanks a lot

- Stop!
- What you want

Don't fool with me

Master Ho

I'm wrong, l' didn't mean to

Kan, what have I done wrong to you?

What have I done to make you betray me?

Master Ho, give me a chance

Answer me

We've been fighting together all these years

we made an oath

we said we would share both luck and bad luck

but you have billions of dollars

but what I get is debts with loan sharks!

You get in luck while I'm unlucky

ls this the sharing?

I've always asked you not to gamble

and keep money aside, did you listen to me?

but now you complain
I didn't share my money with you7

When we were nobody important

you said you'd help me to be Chief Inspector,
did you do it?

and Master Kwan helped me settle the debts

even outsiders helped me,

Master Ho, did you take me as buddy?

I can swear before God

I've always supported you to be Chief Inspector

until Lui told me you can never be

as the Seniors must desert you

You bastard still day-dream

and got controlled by others?

You're as lousy as Ming, both are gamblers!

You don't know who you are while gambling

You will do whatever as long as you're paid!

Damn you!

Master Ho. no, don't! Master Ho

it will dirt my hands if I kill you

Go and kill yourself now

No. Master Ho, no don't!

Master Ho, I don't want to die

You fucking bastard!

Master Ho. don't! Master Ho

I'll give you an alternative

Hand Kwan and Tin over to me

if you can, I'll send you to Taiwan

but you must never come back to HK

as I don't ever want to meet you again!

Master Hung

Master Hung

Hey, Loud Hung

Who is this?

I'm Chuen

I've just been transferred from Mongkok,
this is Master Shea

Master Shea

Sit down

Boss is sleeping, wake up soon

It's OK, I came too early

Will you play?

No, I've given it up

Sit

Dear Inspector, Master Ho is coming soon,
please wait

What does he want us for?

Diamond!

Hung, boss wants you!

Master Shea

Master Tin

Master Ho

Sit down

Years ago, I spent much to support you all

and you all feel grateful

I believe you're all righteous guys

and will keep your words

I want you all to pay me back today

I urge that today, you will unite

and get rid of all areas

of the other three units within 3 days

Keung, Master Kwan is leaving

Master Kwan, got it?

Master Kwan

You're flirting

Master Kwan, when will you see me?

Day after tomorrow

No, it's too long

Master Kwan, I have something to tell you

Master Kwan

Here is 3 million dollars

take it and divide it

but remember

we police duty is to assure heroin be sold safely

and all drug families have paid us regularly

Master Ho, we have good relations with all of you,

it's too hard for us

Master Ho

I dare not take this money

I am always loyal

since Master Ho helps me all this

I don't care about Kwan or Sze

However,

the only serious problem we must consider is

the four letters

ICAC

Hok, your call

I'll go at once

Excuse me.

In my area, there's been a lift explosion

Four dead and an injured,

and that is Fat Kwan

Master Kwan got blown up!

For the money, since it won't convince you

Will this bag do?

It's dilemma for us

What shall we do?

Master Ho, sorry, I must get to work

but I must make myself clear

As I've said, I won't take this money

Master Ho, since you have helped me much

Just when you need help uttermost

I'll do whatever you want me to

If I take your money

I will be a beast!

Master Ho, I'll be blushed!

OK, you may leave now

OK, I'll come whenever you want me

Dear fellows, we must back Master Ho up

I don't agree

We take money and do the )ob

Anyone who takes the money,..

is really loyal to Master Ho

and who refuses is bullshit

I'm taking now

Who will divide the money with me?

I back up

Since you suspect of me, I'll take action

No, don't,,.Master Ho

Can we give Ming a chance?

That bastard is too lousy

but I believe he didn't betray me

Call up Ma'am Ng

and take Ming to see me

That is a lousy bastard

Just give me a salary from anywhere you like

Apologize to Master Ho when you see him

You must give up heroin and start a new life, OK?

May I take a look at your newspaper?

Sure

Ming, are you feeling unwell?

You want drug again?

Do you?

Master Ho

Mr Ng is over there

This way.

Ming

What is it?

Passengers of Flight 106 to London

Please proceed to gate 9 for boarding

Passengers of Flight 106 to London

Please proceed to gate 9 for boarding

Don't worry!

Hand me over HK side

Sure

Goodbye..,

General has just said yes

you can mail the two tons at once

I'll remit the money

Master Ho

a present for your General

And this, a present for you

Thanks

Master Ho

Didn't your whole family move away?

You thought I knew nothing?

You've been with me long

What have I done wrong to you?

Some of you died or betrayed me

or ran away!
You wouldn't make that money without me!

Master Ho

You should stop all this now

No

it's time we started

We will die in police hand one day

Master Ho, no one in this field has ended well

As they were not me

they were not Ho

so they didn't end well

You bastard, you're the most timid guy of all

You're never righteous

You left without leaving a word!

Why do you come back?

Why?

I can't leave you at this moment

As nobody is around you

I've talked to my wife

I'll meet them later

I must thank you

I must thank you

Come here

Come here

Master Ho

Look

What special is today?

What is the date?

8th of December

I can't hear, louder

8th of December, Master Ho

I still can't hear. Louder

8th of December, Master Ho

Remember this date, you bastard

I have nobody around?

all 30 area heads of HK will come for a meeting!

Nobody around?

You won't leave here now?

You won't leave even if I point a gun at you?

Nobody around?

Believe if I shoot at you?

Shoot at you!

Master Ho, no!

l must shoot you bastard to dead

Damn you.,,Dare you run away?

Run away and don't come back.., I must shoot you

Damn you!

Master Ho, you must be careful on all sides

Go away, and don't ever come back

Dare you run away? I must shoot you to dead

Bastard, betray me?

Bastard, damn you! Betray me?

Congratulations

I've received news you got a promotion
to be the Chief Inspector

Big Hak

Go and get the case of money

so as to celebrate Lung

I must thank God for all these

even the position of Chief Inspector

has got an ideal person for it

Lung, you must remember others

You helped me when I was in trouble

Don't worry

It's easy as we're both here

If we become partners

I assure you within 1 year

you will have enough money
to go to USA, let's drink

Can you show that to me?

Lung, you know about that?

It's a precious gold-plated

This is for you

As we are buddies

Ho, I come for duty

This is a warrant

We must search your house

This is a warrant to arrest

We suspect you of involving in several murders

and being the head of a drug trafficking gang

Big Hak, he's wants more

Get two cases more down here

Want to fool?

Dare you fool on

Fool! You're too smart

Your man, Ng Ming, went to 15th floor

Shit! He's mentally ill

Why did he go there for?

To get protection from Police

I've said I'd let him off

I've said I wouldn't touch him

You bastard!

Where is he now?

I'll talk to him

It'll be alright once I've talked to him

- I'll be all right
- Ho, it's too late

he's already given his testimony

and revealed everything about you guys

and is now under the strictest protection ever

My fellows

Yes Sir

What is it?

They're all Marine Police?

Lung, you are head of Marine Police too?

Ordinary policemen

has most of them related to you

In order to be in top secret

so they assign all Marine police

you fear I will drown myself?

You're very talented, Lung

You'll sooner make big money

Damn you!

Master Lung won't have meeting today

No meeting? Why?

Don't touch me

Don't touch me

You were nothing,..

when I controlled Kwun Tong

Get going!

I'll get in myself

You said you'd leave?

Big Hak, am I dreaming?

Start the car!
