Xie zi (1992) - full transcript
A group of police friends are investigating a suspicious fellow officer who might be involved in drugs and prostitution.
Today's your last exercise
before graduation
Say there are 6 thugs in the room
You each get an air pistol
with a single color bullet
Overpower them
in the shortest time possible
Wish you could break the police record
Where are they?
Run!
Quick!
After him!
40159 calling Headquarters
Charge!
No way out. See if there's a back door
Okay
Over here
A friend!
Who are you?
- What now?
- Couldn't care less, run!
Don't take it so seriously
I wanted to break the record! Sorry
- Have you seen Chi?
- No
- Halt!
- Not friends!
Although I'm only a lowly sergeant
you shouldn't treat me like dirt
I've been 20 years in the force
I held a gun before you were born
I've gone through a great deal
You learned theories
in a police training school
It's different from real life
Despite the little accident
we all survived the exercise.
Remember...
There's still a lot to learn
to be a real cop
This is only the beginning, understand?
Yes, sir
Come to my home to eat today
Are you going? Yes
- Are you going?
- Yes, yes
- Come on, have some soup
- I'll help myself, madam
Sorry
I didn't show up last week because
I went with Chi to see Sister Liza
It's OK
I cooked your favorite soup today
- before inviting you to come
- Look, she adores you
Have another bowl
Nothing special
- For you
- Thank you
This soup aids digestion.
Have two more bowls
Yes, let her drink it alone
We watch
You didn't drink
but criticize people for drinking
Your mom likes girls
but you're a boy
- Checkmate
- Checkmate?
Scholar to defend
10 Checkmate. You lost!
Sorry, forget it, I didn't notice it
No regrets!
You father son are impossible
I'll get you some fruits
This way
You can't move this way
Of course, it's OK, I'll move this way
- No
- Yes
Yes...
Chi, happy birthday. It's for you
It's beautiful!
You're nice to know your own birthday
If you took it for your birthday too
- we could celebrate it on the same day
- Good
Make a wish
What wish have you made?
To have a brother like you
No
I know
orphans like us can't have brothers
I want to be your brother forever
Look, my birthday present from Chien
How do you know her star is Scorpion?
Why not?
Oh, no, today's your birthday too!
I forgot to buy a present
one other day
Forget it
I don't even know who my parents are
Don't say that. We must be cheerful
- Let's go to see a show
- What kind of a show?
It's up to you
Have you got today's paper?
Yes, in my room. Go and have a look
Go and have a look
Don't move, police!
Drop your gun!
Against the wall!
Come on!
Don't move!
Chien
Damn, what a tough kid!
Are you all right?
Call an ambulance!
Chien, how do you feel?
Nothing serious
- It hurts...
- Are you okay? What hurts?
- Here...
- Okay, it won't hurt anymore.
I tell you, if I die you'll be widow.
Disgusting, mind your words.
Ming, how's everything?
I've got news!
Should be in this vicinity
Lei Sheri, how's it going?
He's got away!
I suspect that Thai woman's death
is linked to
the international sex syndicate
It's a large organization
which brings by hook or by crook girls
from the world to Hong Kong
to sell their bodies
Involved are murder, illegal detention
faking documents,
swindling and prostitution
Unfortunately, they had fled
before we rushed to the screen each time
Inspector Cheng
I smelt rot in the police force
Who could it be?
My hunches only
Chi, you must be too tired
As you're getting married soon
why not take a leave
to plan your marriage?
Let me have someone else
take over the case
Inspector Cheng
Chi, it's fixed
Bring Chien out sometime with you
for a gathering
Alright.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Let everybody be happy!
My wishes to you for
a long and happy union!
Where have you copied this?
I should thank you.
But I won't marry you
if I don't catch the thief.
There are robbery happened everyday.
Like what you say,
when will it be finished?
I have a feeling that the case
will soon be solved.
I promise I will marry you
within this year.
You always say you have such feeling.
Mum and dad say
we should emigrate to Canada
when we are married
Chi never changes since she was a child
Being her husband
just like being her boss
Equally difficult
No, being her boss is more difficult
Man got to have your quality
Could he be promoted to Sergeant
within 5 years
What? It's you who have given up
Why do you have to
join the internal investigations?
Right, you should investigate me
How about now?
- Happy Birthday
- Thank you
Chien, you've transferred to
internal investigations for almost a year
How do you feel?
Great, it's challenging
Many people feels that
we are investigating them
And see us as enemy
What we protect is
the credit of the Police Force
Are we having any kind of pressure?
Man should have confidence
If you believe it's right,
then don't care about the pressure
We have already suspected this guy
There are lots of information
for you to see
Yes sir
I haven't contacted Lei Shen
for a long time
He's experienced, he is a good colleague
Owing to the case of Lei Shen
We have set up a special unit
Chi being the boss of Lei Shen
So I want Chi join us
and help the investigation
No problem, Chi, you help Chien
Until the case is closed
or you have other assignment
Yes sir
What do you want to say?
Shen is our senior
Right, so what?
We got full evidence
before we start to investigate him
I feel that it's hard to do
I understand
But police is a disciplinary unit
We are responsible to
protect the credit of Police
I don't believe Lei Shen
will do anything illegal
It's not a question of believing only
He's suspected to be linked to
the international sex syndicate
That killer you caught
is related to it too
and he got away from Lei Shen's clutches
Could it be a coincidence only?
Stop guessing
In a word, we mean to help him
not to hurt him
It will be peace if our enquiries show
he's not linked to it
"inspector K. Chau"
What?
To investigate me
who has just left hospital?
No, Lei Shen, keep cool
I only want to clarify a few points
Please co-operate
I've been in the police force
for over 20 years
Why aren't you concerned about my safety
and the paltry pay I receive?
I'm going to ask you that
The house in which
you live costs $3 million
Your wife has recently bought jewelry
worth $1 million
And you spent up to $200,000
to finance
your brother-in-law's studies overseas
How did you get all this money?
My wife is rich, okay?
Our data show that
she gets no income
nor legacy. How do you explain that?
Besides,
you've been mixing with this man
He's linked to
an international sex syndicate
There's nothing unusual
for a policeman to do that
Lei Shen
are you satisfied with
this explanation yourself?
Please co-operate
I don't care to explain
Arrest me if you prefer
Darling
Why are you so beautifully dressed?
What's wrong?
I've had money to spend on it!
Never mind if you don't care to see it
I've always told you not to swagger
They're investigating me
because you spent so much on jewelry
How we're finished!
How do I know?
Be nice and all my money
is yours to spend
If I discover
any irregularities about you
You'll suffer
Come in
Sir, the photos we got from
the sex syndicate
Have a look
- You go out first
- Yes
Mind your hand, it's dangerous
The tip-off is most accurate
The girls gave us the tips because
they're dissatisfied with
their boss's exploitation
The statements show Lei Shen
plays a minor role only
There's someone behind the outfit
He's only a sergeant
he can't cover up such a large outfit
Never thought Lei Shen would do that
Nor did I
Lei Shen wouldn't co-operate with us
That puts us on a tight spot
Scorpion has an instinct
That is, to endure long in the sand
before emerging to catch its prey.
It means...
Okay, I'll go make breakfast
Inspector Cheng
Let me introduce, Mr. Hu, Hua
- Mr Hu
- Go
Hua's an outstanding figure in the force
Find a territory for him to help out
Good, a fighting young man
has a good future
Besides, he was recommended by
Inspector Cheng
Thank you, Mr. Hu
Many cops earned extra money
from you these days
Inspector Cheng, you really are okay
Thank you. I'm a Socialist
We share anything, right?
You really have a good sense of humor
I've had no appetite
even for sharks' fin
Why?
Your colleagues have been
going against me
Soon my territories will be finished!
Mr. Hu, they belong to
Internal Investigations
Not under me
Well, you've said it
If you can't control them,
I'll act by myself
Having moved around all these years,
I'm sure
I can cope with these two fellows easily
Madam, this is Ming
I have some tips. Come out first
Same old place
Don't!
Are you sure it's the place?
It's our usual meeting place
Ming?-
- Are you all right?
- Yes
How did you know we'd be here?
I got news someone would ambush here
Maybe Hu meant to warn you
That strengthens my desire
to smash his joints
Listen,
we've already got enough evidence
Co-operate
or you'll end up the wrong way
Have you thought it over?
I've wasted too much breath, Fix her
Mrs. Lei
we suspect Lei Shen's linked to
a sex syndicate
You keep several bank accounts
don't you?
Is that illegal?
You keep much money in each account
and there have been
large deposits and withdrawals
up to a million
Please explain that
Even a small flat costs over $2 million
What's so special about that?
Are you going to buy houses
in Switzerland too?
You have a numbered account
in Switzerland
Who gave you all this money?
Since it's a numbered account
I can't tell you
Mrs. Lei,
you'd better co-operate with us
You'll be prosecuted for
being accessary after fact
Good, now listen
I got the money by being a whore
I came upon a rich client and
he kept depositing money into
my accounts, okay?
Yes
Lei Shen, it's good of you
to take your leave now
Inspector Cheng,
you sure I'll be all right?
Sure
Stop your wife from talking nonsense
No matter how they investigate
you'll be OK. At worst you get demoted
With several million, you'll be free
from want for the rest of your life
Women mean trouble!
Had she not swaggered
we wouldn't have come to this
Come on, have a cigarette
A woman can't resist
the temptation of spending
Be nice to her and you'll be all right
Halt! Where have you been?
Where have you been? Hear me?
Stop yelling after a few drinks!
Are you going to tell me or not?
I was taking a walk, okay?
You lie! Damn it, I'll beat you up!
Come on, kill me!
I don't care to live anyway!
Why should I go into prostitution?
I wouldn't have married you
if you hadn't promised to
finance my brother's studies
You're lucky to have married me
Let's part
if you're dissatisfied with me
When asked about my bank accounts
I'd say they're yours and see
which of us will suffer
About my wife's bank accounts
let me tell you
they were not opened for me
but for another man
He's the shark you're after
Lei Shen, where are you?
I'll come right away
We must hit his vital part
I meant to make him spit out the truth
You do the recording to expose him
Do I know him or not?
You'll know in a minute
Lei Shen,
keep cool and wait for my arrival
Bye-bye
Was it from Lei Shen?
No, from my friend
He wants to see me on business
Let me accompany you
No, I can cope
You change and go to work
Inspector Cheng,
sorry for calling you at this hour
I want to talk to you on urgent business
Let's meet at the dam in two hours
That's fixed
Hui, I heard Lei Shen call Chien
Lei Shen, are you all right?
Lei Shen
Why have you brought a gang over here?
You made a mess.
Now even the killer has fled
You didn't even tell me
about your interview with Lei Shen
How did you know it?
I got news the killer would appear
Where did you get it?
Is it necessary to tell you about it?
- It's very important
- Glad you understand
I want to know
why you were with him there
What did Lei Shen tell you?
Why didn't you tell me?
- You...
- Sorry, Inspector Chou
I promised Lei Shen to keep it secret
And Lei Shen got killed
without having said anything
I wanted to catch the killer
to flush out the instigator
Now Lei Shen's dead,
you can say anything
Don't be so unreasonable
What do you mean?
We're sidekicks
and we're getting married soon
Why did you hide that from me?
You know the motto in the police force
A top secret should be hidden
even from one's spouse
Good, forget it then
Now tell me...
I'm also police
I must abide by the rules too
Yes
OK, where are you now?
Wait there
I'll come right away
to arrange your departure from HK
Inspector Cheng, sorry
Never mind. You did me a big favor
killing Lei Shen
Take this money
Someone in the Philippines
will meet you on arrival
Thank you
Fooling me? Damn it!
What's wrong?
Chi, why are you depressed?
Men are doomed to be alone
Men are so difficult to understand
How's it between you and Chien?
I don't feel liking saying it
Remember you used to tell me everything
when we were young?
I never keep anything from Chien
but he's hiding something from me
Is it linked to Lei Shen?
Chi
We seized a mini recorder from Lei Shen
And...
Before his death,
he came to see me drunk
He made a scene,
saying his wife got a beau
He wouldn't expose him,
but said we all know him
He never said
it's linked to Lei Shen's wife
He? Who?
Never mind
Don't hide it from me
Chi, you always told me your problems
Maybe I'm suspicious
No point telling it
before the truth is out
Chi's getting more and more cranky
Thank you.
She's been staring at you
like a scorpion
Wonder what's on her mind
Has she got something to tell you?
No idea. I don't know what's on her mind
She doesn't know
what's on my mind either
If this goes on, we may end up parting
Why don't you have a chat with her?
Once revealed things get meaningless
You're her best friend
What did she tell you?
I don't know how to put it either
Just come to the point
Some things are hard to explain
We both are orphans
You with parents won't understand
- ls there really something serious?
- No
I heard of "birds of the same feather"
when I was a child
I didn't understand it
nor did I know what I wanted
Now grown, I feel it makes sense
People of the same kind do go together
What were you trying to say?
Nothing, Wish everything was all right
But you never can tell about people
One thing I can assure you is
I never betray a friend
Excuse me
Chien, get some food for Chi
No, I can help myself
Have you been under much strain recently?
No
You look so depressed
I thought you were tired
Our application for emigration to Canada
has been approved
We can leave any time
We're waiting for your wedding party
Mom, I wanted to get married
but Chi has been too busy
What did you say?
I never say 'no',
but is this the appropriate time now?
Lei Shen's dead and the killer
is still at large
Just say so if you don't want to marry
- It's OK
- I never said that!
- You mean exactly that
- Quiet, quiet!
The marriage can wait, there's no hurry
Mrs. Lei, Lei Shen's dead
The one who bought a killer
meant to destroy the evidence
Lei Shen called me before his death
saying your accounts are for a man
and the man is the one
we're after for sure
Seek him out if you're capable
I know nothing
Why cover up the man
who killed your husband?
Is Inspector Chou back or not?
Not necessary
The Thai you want is over there
Sir, I know nothing
Why did you flee then?
All know you're the President
of the Thai Association
We're looking for a Thai named Barlit
A killer from Thailand
He killed several men
You must know a man of his background
That's fatal for me
I daren't say even if I know it
Besides, he moves mysteriously
Where can I find him?
If you see him, just tell him
Both the police and the underworld
are after him
He can never get away!
There may be a chance if he co-operates
- Let's go
- Go
I want to have a word with you
No time, some other day
Why have you been hiding from me?
Who's hiding? What for?
It's better to
hide to save our relationship
Save? I don't care for
such a relationship
Good. Come right outwith it
and you'll feel better
What are you planning to do?
It was Lei Shen's wife
How long would you hide
if I didn't see it yesterday?
Why did you follow me?
Why did you date Lei Shen's wife?
Why did you follow me?
Why did you lie?
Why seek an excuse to part with me?
Excuse? Why did Lei Shen want to see you?
So you're linked to his wife. I see
Crazy, you suspect me having an affair
with Lei Shen's wife
What about you?
What about me?
Excuse me
1613, call back, Code 97
Good
Tell him I'll come right away
You come to me only
because you're desperate
If I don't care for you,
you'll be finished
Killing you is pointless
Someone may kill me then
He's the one who instigated me
to kill Lei Shen
Who's he?
If you guarantee my safe departure
from Hong Kong
I'll tell you
To ask for mitigation
is all I can do for you
Well, forget it
Wait, I promise you that
Who's that man?
So it's you
You know everything. Too late?
Why did you do that?
Why ruin yourself and your future?
I do have a good future
Why do you always poke into my affairs?
What have you got to take away Chi?
Doing that is unworthy of a friend!
Listen, Chi and I
were brought up together
You don't understand her at all
You can't satisfy her
I'm not afraid,
you can't find anything about me
Keep away, Chi!
Where's Chien?
In the operation room
Madam, Madam
- Chien
- Madam, keep cool
- Chien
- Madam, don't act on impulse
- Chien
- Chi, Chi
Why? Why?
Auntie, Chien's things are all packed up
We plan to go to Canada early
Our relatives there can take care of us
Okay, it's not a bad idea
Chien's not here
Don't hesitate to ask
if you need any help
I'm now most worried about Chi
Formerly Chien, Chi and you
were a good trio
Take more care of Chi from now on
Don't worry, I will
Inspector Cheng,
I paid you so much each year
not for the sake of getting your men
to harass us
And that female acted like a mad dog
She ruined my deals
and took away my men
Help me finish her off
I'll settle it in 3 days, Mr. Hu
Remember, you'll suffer too
if I'm in trouble
Madam
a bevy of Thai girls
are landing in Hong Kong
On the Pi Ho Bay
- Get in
- Yes
Hua
Sorry, I've to do it
or I'll be finished
Tramp, trying to trap me?
You'll see who I am today
Stay where you are!
- Well, dump her to the sea!
- Yes
Run quick!
Cheng Hui?
What are you doing?
Chi, are you all right? Chi, wake up!
Don't worry, the ambulance is coming
Never knew Hua was such a bad guy
You can never tell. Chien is corrupt
He kills and has an affair
with Lei Shen's wife
You shouldn't be so reckless with Hua
That won't help Chien either
Chi, listen
forget the past
Don't keep it in your mind
It's the future that counts
So you're that man
Lei Shen's wife wouldn't expose
And you're the killer of Lei Shen too
And you killed Barlit to frame Chien
then killed Chien too
Right?
- Yes
- Why did you do that?
Because of you
- Nonsense!
- I'm serious!
We were happy together
but Chien took you away
Chi
those with parents are different from us
You're mad!
I am not
He's got everything
I only want someone I love,
that's not too much
Isn't it too much for me to love you?
Don't find yourself an excuse
I didn't, I did everything for you
Chien made me do it
He took away my lover!
Chi, it's all over
Let's start anew
No, not for this life
What?
Stop dreaming!
Well, shoot and kill me
Shoot and kill me!
If you kill me
I'll seek you in a next life
Chi, even you look down on me!
Speak UP
I'm busy
Lei Shen's dead.
What are you busy about now?
Don't you know
Cheng Hui's been using you?
He killed Lei Shen and you
still cover him up?
I don't understand
what you're talking about
You think Cheng Hui's true to you?
What he's after is money only
We're both his pawns
He knows human frailties
He kicks the ladder
after climbing up on it
Is this worth your while?
No, he won't forsake me!
Don't deceive yourself
He killed many including Lei Shen
You'll be involved
if he gets into trouble
You can't clean yourself then
Don't scare me. He'll take me away
He told me last night he won't
because he never loves you
Impossible
he couldn't be with you last night
For the sake of Lei Shen and yourself
help the police and bring him to justice
Enough, I won't trust you!
No more illusion
You know too much
He won't let you go. He'll kill you!
Enough, I won't trust you!
You'll only ruin yourself
You know too much about him
he won't let you go!
You lie, he'll take me away!
- Mrs. Lei
- I don't believe it!
Mrs. Lei, be a witness for the police
Cheng Hui will take me away!
I don't trust you. Go away!
- Madam
- Wake up!
- Chi, are you all right?
- Madam
Madam, are you okay?
- Madam
- Chi, are you all right?
Madam, are you all right?
Where's Inspector Cheng? Where's he?
Madam, we only saw you
and the deceased here
Cheng Hui has killed!
He killed this woman!
Cheng Hui killed this woman!
Cheng Hui is a killer!
Cheng Hui really is a killer!
What did you say? You must be joking
Cheng Hui's the most brilliant officer
He's going to receive a medal of
the highest honor for a bravery
How could he kill a woman?
I saw it with my own eyes!
You saw him fire with your own eyes?
He strangled my neck from behind
I couldn't see him,
I couldn't see him fire
but I'm sure it was Cheng Hui
He fired and I felt it
Can you prosecute someone for killing
with intuition only?
I know Chou Chien's death
has been a big blow to Inspector An
She complained to me for
not having done my best
You all know we three were best friends
I believe she doesn't mean to frame me
She might be insane
due to the big shock
I'm not insane!
Inspector An, keep cool
Why don't you believe me?
He did kill that woman!
He did it to destroy the evidence
She knew many of his secrets
Inspector An, as a police officer
you know anything must be
backed by evidence
According to the report from analysis
the bullet that killed Lin Feng-chih
didn't come from Inspector Cheng's gun
According to the witness's statement
Cheng Hui was drinking with 2 policemen
They are his subordinates
They're taking his side!
Well, Inspector An
without any proof
We can never accept the accusation
against Chen Hui
for internal investigations
- He really did kill!
- Inspector An
He's a murderer!
- Madam, keep cool
- Come down quick!
Madam, cool off...
- Cool off
- Tell her to go out
He's a murderer! He's a murderer!
Now let me make a test for you
What's the painting?
A scorpion
A scorpion
A scorpion
A scorpion
Chi, I'm going to
meet the new HK Governor
I wanted to share
some happy days with you
Why are you so stupid?
Why wouldn't you let me be a normal man?
I'm leaving. Think it over
When you come to my way of thinking,
I may let you out
Chi
I love you!
More people have come
nearly 2,000
Some came with children
to witness the inauguration
It's believed
to be the last inauguration
for a new governor before 1997
What happened?
My gun has been taken away!
During 20-minutes inauguration
besides the guard of honor
of the Armed Forces
a senior representative from the police
will also be reviewed
before graduation
Say there are 6 thugs in the room
You each get an air pistol
with a single color bullet
Overpower them
in the shortest time possible
Wish you could break the police record
Where are they?
Run!
Quick!
After him!
40159 calling Headquarters
Charge!
No way out. See if there's a back door
Okay
Over here
A friend!
Who are you?
- What now?
- Couldn't care less, run!
Don't take it so seriously
I wanted to break the record! Sorry
- Have you seen Chi?
- No
- Halt!
- Not friends!
Although I'm only a lowly sergeant
you shouldn't treat me like dirt
I've been 20 years in the force
I held a gun before you were born
I've gone through a great deal
You learned theories
in a police training school
It's different from real life
Despite the little accident
we all survived the exercise.
Remember...
There's still a lot to learn
to be a real cop
This is only the beginning, understand?
Yes, sir
Come to my home to eat today
Are you going? Yes
- Are you going?
- Yes, yes
- Come on, have some soup
- I'll help myself, madam
Sorry
I didn't show up last week because
I went with Chi to see Sister Liza
It's OK
I cooked your favorite soup today
- before inviting you to come
- Look, she adores you
Have another bowl
Nothing special
- For you
- Thank you
This soup aids digestion.
Have two more bowls
Yes, let her drink it alone
We watch
You didn't drink
but criticize people for drinking
Your mom likes girls
but you're a boy
- Checkmate
- Checkmate?
Scholar to defend
10 Checkmate. You lost!
Sorry, forget it, I didn't notice it
No regrets!
You father son are impossible
I'll get you some fruits
This way
You can't move this way
Of course, it's OK, I'll move this way
- No
- Yes
Yes...
Chi, happy birthday. It's for you
It's beautiful!
You're nice to know your own birthday
If you took it for your birthday too
- we could celebrate it on the same day
- Good
Make a wish
What wish have you made?
To have a brother like you
No
I know
orphans like us can't have brothers
I want to be your brother forever
Look, my birthday present from Chien
How do you know her star is Scorpion?
Why not?
Oh, no, today's your birthday too!
I forgot to buy a present
one other day
Forget it
I don't even know who my parents are
Don't say that. We must be cheerful
- Let's go to see a show
- What kind of a show?
It's up to you
Have you got today's paper?
Yes, in my room. Go and have a look
Go and have a look
Don't move, police!
Drop your gun!
Against the wall!
Come on!
Don't move!
Chien
Damn, what a tough kid!
Are you all right?
Call an ambulance!
Chien, how do you feel?
Nothing serious
- It hurts...
- Are you okay? What hurts?
- Here...
- Okay, it won't hurt anymore.
I tell you, if I die you'll be widow.
Disgusting, mind your words.
Ming, how's everything?
I've got news!
Should be in this vicinity
Lei Sheri, how's it going?
He's got away!
I suspect that Thai woman's death
is linked to
the international sex syndicate
It's a large organization
which brings by hook or by crook girls
from the world to Hong Kong
to sell their bodies
Involved are murder, illegal detention
faking documents,
swindling and prostitution
Unfortunately, they had fled
before we rushed to the screen each time
Inspector Cheng
I smelt rot in the police force
Who could it be?
My hunches only
Chi, you must be too tired
As you're getting married soon
why not take a leave
to plan your marriage?
Let me have someone else
take over the case
Inspector Cheng
Chi, it's fixed
Bring Chien out sometime with you
for a gathering
Alright.
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Let everybody be happy!
My wishes to you for
a long and happy union!
Where have you copied this?
I should thank you.
But I won't marry you
if I don't catch the thief.
There are robbery happened everyday.
Like what you say,
when will it be finished?
I have a feeling that the case
will soon be solved.
I promise I will marry you
within this year.
You always say you have such feeling.
Mum and dad say
we should emigrate to Canada
when we are married
Chi never changes since she was a child
Being her husband
just like being her boss
Equally difficult
No, being her boss is more difficult
Man got to have your quality
Could he be promoted to Sergeant
within 5 years
What? It's you who have given up
Why do you have to
join the internal investigations?
Right, you should investigate me
How about now?
- Happy Birthday
- Thank you
Chien, you've transferred to
internal investigations for almost a year
How do you feel?
Great, it's challenging
Many people feels that
we are investigating them
And see us as enemy
What we protect is
the credit of the Police Force
Are we having any kind of pressure?
Man should have confidence
If you believe it's right,
then don't care about the pressure
We have already suspected this guy
There are lots of information
for you to see
Yes sir
I haven't contacted Lei Shen
for a long time
He's experienced, he is a good colleague
Owing to the case of Lei Shen
We have set up a special unit
Chi being the boss of Lei Shen
So I want Chi join us
and help the investigation
No problem, Chi, you help Chien
Until the case is closed
or you have other assignment
Yes sir
What do you want to say?
Shen is our senior
Right, so what?
We got full evidence
before we start to investigate him
I feel that it's hard to do
I understand
But police is a disciplinary unit
We are responsible to
protect the credit of Police
I don't believe Lei Shen
will do anything illegal
It's not a question of believing only
He's suspected to be linked to
the international sex syndicate
That killer you caught
is related to it too
and he got away from Lei Shen's clutches
Could it be a coincidence only?
Stop guessing
In a word, we mean to help him
not to hurt him
It will be peace if our enquiries show
he's not linked to it
"inspector K. Chau"
What?
To investigate me
who has just left hospital?
No, Lei Shen, keep cool
I only want to clarify a few points
Please co-operate
I've been in the police force
for over 20 years
Why aren't you concerned about my safety
and the paltry pay I receive?
I'm going to ask you that
The house in which
you live costs $3 million
Your wife has recently bought jewelry
worth $1 million
And you spent up to $200,000
to finance
your brother-in-law's studies overseas
How did you get all this money?
My wife is rich, okay?
Our data show that
she gets no income
nor legacy. How do you explain that?
Besides,
you've been mixing with this man
He's linked to
an international sex syndicate
There's nothing unusual
for a policeman to do that
Lei Shen
are you satisfied with
this explanation yourself?
Please co-operate
I don't care to explain
Arrest me if you prefer
Darling
Why are you so beautifully dressed?
What's wrong?
I've had money to spend on it!
Never mind if you don't care to see it
I've always told you not to swagger
They're investigating me
because you spent so much on jewelry
How we're finished!
How do I know?
Be nice and all my money
is yours to spend
If I discover
any irregularities about you
You'll suffer
Come in
Sir, the photos we got from
the sex syndicate
Have a look
- You go out first
- Yes
Mind your hand, it's dangerous
The tip-off is most accurate
The girls gave us the tips because
they're dissatisfied with
their boss's exploitation
The statements show Lei Shen
plays a minor role only
There's someone behind the outfit
He's only a sergeant
he can't cover up such a large outfit
Never thought Lei Shen would do that
Nor did I
Lei Shen wouldn't co-operate with us
That puts us on a tight spot
Scorpion has an instinct
That is, to endure long in the sand
before emerging to catch its prey.
It means...
Okay, I'll go make breakfast
Inspector Cheng
Let me introduce, Mr. Hu, Hua
- Mr Hu
- Go
Hua's an outstanding figure in the force
Find a territory for him to help out
Good, a fighting young man
has a good future
Besides, he was recommended by
Inspector Cheng
Thank you, Mr. Hu
Many cops earned extra money
from you these days
Inspector Cheng, you really are okay
Thank you. I'm a Socialist
We share anything, right?
You really have a good sense of humor
I've had no appetite
even for sharks' fin
Why?
Your colleagues have been
going against me
Soon my territories will be finished!
Mr. Hu, they belong to
Internal Investigations
Not under me
Well, you've said it
If you can't control them,
I'll act by myself
Having moved around all these years,
I'm sure
I can cope with these two fellows easily
Madam, this is Ming
I have some tips. Come out first
Same old place
Don't!
Are you sure it's the place?
It's our usual meeting place
Ming?-
- Are you all right?
- Yes
How did you know we'd be here?
I got news someone would ambush here
Maybe Hu meant to warn you
That strengthens my desire
to smash his joints
Listen,
we've already got enough evidence
Co-operate
or you'll end up the wrong way
Have you thought it over?
I've wasted too much breath, Fix her
Mrs. Lei
we suspect Lei Shen's linked to
a sex syndicate
You keep several bank accounts
don't you?
Is that illegal?
You keep much money in each account
and there have been
large deposits and withdrawals
up to a million
Please explain that
Even a small flat costs over $2 million
What's so special about that?
Are you going to buy houses
in Switzerland too?
You have a numbered account
in Switzerland
Who gave you all this money?
Since it's a numbered account
I can't tell you
Mrs. Lei,
you'd better co-operate with us
You'll be prosecuted for
being accessary after fact
Good, now listen
I got the money by being a whore
I came upon a rich client and
he kept depositing money into
my accounts, okay?
Yes
Lei Shen, it's good of you
to take your leave now
Inspector Cheng,
you sure I'll be all right?
Sure
Stop your wife from talking nonsense
No matter how they investigate
you'll be OK. At worst you get demoted
With several million, you'll be free
from want for the rest of your life
Women mean trouble!
Had she not swaggered
we wouldn't have come to this
Come on, have a cigarette
A woman can't resist
the temptation of spending
Be nice to her and you'll be all right
Halt! Where have you been?
Where have you been? Hear me?
Stop yelling after a few drinks!
Are you going to tell me or not?
I was taking a walk, okay?
You lie! Damn it, I'll beat you up!
Come on, kill me!
I don't care to live anyway!
Why should I go into prostitution?
I wouldn't have married you
if you hadn't promised to
finance my brother's studies
You're lucky to have married me
Let's part
if you're dissatisfied with me
When asked about my bank accounts
I'd say they're yours and see
which of us will suffer
About my wife's bank accounts
let me tell you
they were not opened for me
but for another man
He's the shark you're after
Lei Shen, where are you?
I'll come right away
We must hit his vital part
I meant to make him spit out the truth
You do the recording to expose him
Do I know him or not?
You'll know in a minute
Lei Shen,
keep cool and wait for my arrival
Bye-bye
Was it from Lei Shen?
No, from my friend
He wants to see me on business
Let me accompany you
No, I can cope
You change and go to work
Inspector Cheng,
sorry for calling you at this hour
I want to talk to you on urgent business
Let's meet at the dam in two hours
That's fixed
Hui, I heard Lei Shen call Chien
Lei Shen, are you all right?
Lei Shen
Why have you brought a gang over here?
You made a mess.
Now even the killer has fled
You didn't even tell me
about your interview with Lei Shen
How did you know it?
I got news the killer would appear
Where did you get it?
Is it necessary to tell you about it?
- It's very important
- Glad you understand
I want to know
why you were with him there
What did Lei Shen tell you?
Why didn't you tell me?
- You...
- Sorry, Inspector Chou
I promised Lei Shen to keep it secret
And Lei Shen got killed
without having said anything
I wanted to catch the killer
to flush out the instigator
Now Lei Shen's dead,
you can say anything
Don't be so unreasonable
What do you mean?
We're sidekicks
and we're getting married soon
Why did you hide that from me?
You know the motto in the police force
A top secret should be hidden
even from one's spouse
Good, forget it then
Now tell me...
I'm also police
I must abide by the rules too
Yes
OK, where are you now?
Wait there
I'll come right away
to arrange your departure from HK
Inspector Cheng, sorry
Never mind. You did me a big favor
killing Lei Shen
Take this money
Someone in the Philippines
will meet you on arrival
Thank you
Fooling me? Damn it!
What's wrong?
Chi, why are you depressed?
Men are doomed to be alone
Men are so difficult to understand
How's it between you and Chien?
I don't feel liking saying it
Remember you used to tell me everything
when we were young?
I never keep anything from Chien
but he's hiding something from me
Is it linked to Lei Shen?
Chi
We seized a mini recorder from Lei Shen
And...
Before his death,
he came to see me drunk
He made a scene,
saying his wife got a beau
He wouldn't expose him,
but said we all know him
He never said
it's linked to Lei Shen's wife
He? Who?
Never mind
Don't hide it from me
Chi, you always told me your problems
Maybe I'm suspicious
No point telling it
before the truth is out
Chi's getting more and more cranky
Thank you.
She's been staring at you
like a scorpion
Wonder what's on her mind
Has she got something to tell you?
No idea. I don't know what's on her mind
She doesn't know
what's on my mind either
If this goes on, we may end up parting
Why don't you have a chat with her?
Once revealed things get meaningless
You're her best friend
What did she tell you?
I don't know how to put it either
Just come to the point
Some things are hard to explain
We both are orphans
You with parents won't understand
- ls there really something serious?
- No
I heard of "birds of the same feather"
when I was a child
I didn't understand it
nor did I know what I wanted
Now grown, I feel it makes sense
People of the same kind do go together
What were you trying to say?
Nothing, Wish everything was all right
But you never can tell about people
One thing I can assure you is
I never betray a friend
Excuse me
Chien, get some food for Chi
No, I can help myself
Have you been under much strain recently?
No
You look so depressed
I thought you were tired
Our application for emigration to Canada
has been approved
We can leave any time
We're waiting for your wedding party
Mom, I wanted to get married
but Chi has been too busy
What did you say?
I never say 'no',
but is this the appropriate time now?
Lei Shen's dead and the killer
is still at large
Just say so if you don't want to marry
- It's OK
- I never said that!
- You mean exactly that
- Quiet, quiet!
The marriage can wait, there's no hurry
Mrs. Lei, Lei Shen's dead
The one who bought a killer
meant to destroy the evidence
Lei Shen called me before his death
saying your accounts are for a man
and the man is the one
we're after for sure
Seek him out if you're capable
I know nothing
Why cover up the man
who killed your husband?
Is Inspector Chou back or not?
Not necessary
The Thai you want is over there
Sir, I know nothing
Why did you flee then?
All know you're the President
of the Thai Association
We're looking for a Thai named Barlit
A killer from Thailand
He killed several men
You must know a man of his background
That's fatal for me
I daren't say even if I know it
Besides, he moves mysteriously
Where can I find him?
If you see him, just tell him
Both the police and the underworld
are after him
He can never get away!
There may be a chance if he co-operates
- Let's go
- Go
I want to have a word with you
No time, some other day
Why have you been hiding from me?
Who's hiding? What for?
It's better to
hide to save our relationship
Save? I don't care for
such a relationship
Good. Come right outwith it
and you'll feel better
What are you planning to do?
It was Lei Shen's wife
How long would you hide
if I didn't see it yesterday?
Why did you follow me?
Why did you date Lei Shen's wife?
Why did you follow me?
Why did you lie?
Why seek an excuse to part with me?
Excuse? Why did Lei Shen want to see you?
So you're linked to his wife. I see
Crazy, you suspect me having an affair
with Lei Shen's wife
What about you?
What about me?
Excuse me
1613, call back, Code 97
Good
Tell him I'll come right away
You come to me only
because you're desperate
If I don't care for you,
you'll be finished
Killing you is pointless
Someone may kill me then
He's the one who instigated me
to kill Lei Shen
Who's he?
If you guarantee my safe departure
from Hong Kong
I'll tell you
To ask for mitigation
is all I can do for you
Well, forget it
Wait, I promise you that
Who's that man?
So it's you
You know everything. Too late?
Why did you do that?
Why ruin yourself and your future?
I do have a good future
Why do you always poke into my affairs?
What have you got to take away Chi?
Doing that is unworthy of a friend!
Listen, Chi and I
were brought up together
You don't understand her at all
You can't satisfy her
I'm not afraid,
you can't find anything about me
Keep away, Chi!
Where's Chien?
In the operation room
Madam, Madam
- Chien
- Madam, keep cool
- Chien
- Madam, don't act on impulse
- Chien
- Chi, Chi
Why? Why?
Auntie, Chien's things are all packed up
We plan to go to Canada early
Our relatives there can take care of us
Okay, it's not a bad idea
Chien's not here
Don't hesitate to ask
if you need any help
I'm now most worried about Chi
Formerly Chien, Chi and you
were a good trio
Take more care of Chi from now on
Don't worry, I will
Inspector Cheng,
I paid you so much each year
not for the sake of getting your men
to harass us
And that female acted like a mad dog
She ruined my deals
and took away my men
Help me finish her off
I'll settle it in 3 days, Mr. Hu
Remember, you'll suffer too
if I'm in trouble
Madam
a bevy of Thai girls
are landing in Hong Kong
On the Pi Ho Bay
- Get in
- Yes
Hua
Sorry, I've to do it
or I'll be finished
Tramp, trying to trap me?
You'll see who I am today
Stay where you are!
- Well, dump her to the sea!
- Yes
Run quick!
Cheng Hui?
What are you doing?
Chi, are you all right? Chi, wake up!
Don't worry, the ambulance is coming
Never knew Hua was such a bad guy
You can never tell. Chien is corrupt
He kills and has an affair
with Lei Shen's wife
You shouldn't be so reckless with Hua
That won't help Chien either
Chi, listen
forget the past
Don't keep it in your mind
It's the future that counts
So you're that man
Lei Shen's wife wouldn't expose
And you're the killer of Lei Shen too
And you killed Barlit to frame Chien
then killed Chien too
Right?
- Yes
- Why did you do that?
Because of you
- Nonsense!
- I'm serious!
We were happy together
but Chien took you away
Chi
those with parents are different from us
You're mad!
I am not
He's got everything
I only want someone I love,
that's not too much
Isn't it too much for me to love you?
Don't find yourself an excuse
I didn't, I did everything for you
Chien made me do it
He took away my lover!
Chi, it's all over
Let's start anew
No, not for this life
What?
Stop dreaming!
Well, shoot and kill me
Shoot and kill me!
If you kill me
I'll seek you in a next life
Chi, even you look down on me!
Speak UP
I'm busy
Lei Shen's dead.
What are you busy about now?
Don't you know
Cheng Hui's been using you?
He killed Lei Shen and you
still cover him up?
I don't understand
what you're talking about
You think Cheng Hui's true to you?
What he's after is money only
We're both his pawns
He knows human frailties
He kicks the ladder
after climbing up on it
Is this worth your while?
No, he won't forsake me!
Don't deceive yourself
He killed many including Lei Shen
You'll be involved
if he gets into trouble
You can't clean yourself then
Don't scare me. He'll take me away
He told me last night he won't
because he never loves you
Impossible
he couldn't be with you last night
For the sake of Lei Shen and yourself
help the police and bring him to justice
Enough, I won't trust you!
No more illusion
You know too much
He won't let you go. He'll kill you!
Enough, I won't trust you!
You'll only ruin yourself
You know too much about him
he won't let you go!
You lie, he'll take me away!
- Mrs. Lei
- I don't believe it!
Mrs. Lei, be a witness for the police
Cheng Hui will take me away!
I don't trust you. Go away!
- Madam
- Wake up!
- Chi, are you all right?
- Madam
Madam, are you okay?
- Madam
- Chi, are you all right?
Madam, are you all right?
Where's Inspector Cheng? Where's he?
Madam, we only saw you
and the deceased here
Cheng Hui has killed!
He killed this woman!
Cheng Hui killed this woman!
Cheng Hui is a killer!
Cheng Hui really is a killer!
What did you say? You must be joking
Cheng Hui's the most brilliant officer
He's going to receive a medal of
the highest honor for a bravery
How could he kill a woman?
I saw it with my own eyes!
You saw him fire with your own eyes?
He strangled my neck from behind
I couldn't see him,
I couldn't see him fire
but I'm sure it was Cheng Hui
He fired and I felt it
Can you prosecute someone for killing
with intuition only?
I know Chou Chien's death
has been a big blow to Inspector An
She complained to me for
not having done my best
You all know we three were best friends
I believe she doesn't mean to frame me
She might be insane
due to the big shock
I'm not insane!
Inspector An, keep cool
Why don't you believe me?
He did kill that woman!
He did it to destroy the evidence
She knew many of his secrets
Inspector An, as a police officer
you know anything must be
backed by evidence
According to the report from analysis
the bullet that killed Lin Feng-chih
didn't come from Inspector Cheng's gun
According to the witness's statement
Cheng Hui was drinking with 2 policemen
They are his subordinates
They're taking his side!
Well, Inspector An
without any proof
We can never accept the accusation
against Chen Hui
for internal investigations
- He really did kill!
- Inspector An
He's a murderer!
- Madam, keep cool
- Come down quick!
Madam, cool off...
- Cool off
- Tell her to go out
He's a murderer! He's a murderer!
Now let me make a test for you
What's the painting?
A scorpion
A scorpion
A scorpion
A scorpion
Chi, I'm going to
meet the new HK Governor
I wanted to share
some happy days with you
Why are you so stupid?
Why wouldn't you let me be a normal man?
I'm leaving. Think it over
When you come to my way of thinking,
I may let you out
Chi
I love you!
More people have come
nearly 2,000
Some came with children
to witness the inauguration
It's believed
to be the last inauguration
for a new governor before 1997
What happened?
My gun has been taken away!
During 20-minutes inauguration
besides the guard of honor
of the Armed Forces
a senior representative from the police
will also be reviewed
