Episode 25
Before Mrs. Lui went missing,
she left something for me.
I'm sure you'll be interested in it.
What is it?
This is heavy…
Why wasn't I invited to the party?
Long time.
You're assaulting a police officer!
If I do make a mistake in the future,
if you have enough evidence,
arrest me.
I'm going.
That's my wife, you bastard!
Stop it!
Hey!
From this moment on, if you continue to harass me,
I'm going to accept internship at Singapore!
Don't you come looking for me.
It would seem our position
has been changed.
No one can stay
in one position forever.
Are you saying that you put an undercover cop
in the Wo Hing Sing?
The reason why I was a police
is to protect the safety of our citizens!
We are not puppets of the British government.
My mole in the Wo Hing Sing,
he told me that Han is meeting Danny again
tonight at 10 o'clock.
Hello, Han.
As you expecte
Baldy,
we're not going to the soccer courts.
Ta Ku Ling.
Are you sure that bald kid is a spook?
For sure.
Definetely.
You brought a gun?
You bastard kid!
You are a spook!
It's easy to test if he's a spook.
Sure.
See?
I told you he's one of us.
Trustworthy.
Officer Chan,
it's almost 11 o'clock.
Tonight's a waste of time.
Pang, do you remember the guy
who was fighting Junior that night?
I remember. He wore a beanie.
What's his name again?
I remember seeing his file.
His name is baldy.
He used to follow the Blind.
After the Junior became Chairman,
he switched over to the Wo Hing Sing.
I heard he got into some fight
and suffered serious injuries.
He went missing for a while.
Recently,
we found out he was driving for Han.
Are you saying that Baldy
was the one who gave you the heads up?
Officer Yeung told me once
that he had an undercover cop
hiding in Hung Lok.
For whatever reason, he later switched over to Wo Hing Sing.
Damn it, I should have known…
Officer Chan,
you're talking like something bad already happened to him?
Back in the day, a few of my undercover colleagues
fell trap to similar kinds of strategic diversion.
They identities were discovered,
and then, they vanished into thin air.
If Baldy fell for the same trap,
he may not be alive anymore.
We were used as bait tonight…
I do hope that none of this
has anything to do with him…
You think this involves boss?
Let's go.
What is it?
Why did you stop?
Never killed someone when you were a cop?
Come on,
help us out!
It's done, Han.
Good.
Now what?
After getting rid of our problem,
now we can do as we please.
Long-Legs.
How many we got?
A good bunch.
They're pretty good.
What's up?
First rule of being a Chairman,
I must have everyone fear my name.
Get the boys to cause some chaos around town.
I want the whole world to know that Han is back.
I got the money, I got the power.
I'm afraid of no one.
I understand.
Han,
there is something
I know you might not wanna hear…
But I must remind you
to not cross the line too much.
I know.
You're worried if something goes wrong,
we would catch the Phoenix's attention.
He is a cop.
He does his work well.
The hunter fires at the first bird.
Even if he doesn't target you,
any cop you make enemies with will be happy to do so.
I'm sure they will effect
your chances of being Chairman.
You know,
General…
I'm not young anymore.
No matter win or lose,
this is my last draw.
If I'm not ruthless,
how can I face my future self?
I'm just afraid you might lost control,
before it's too late.
I have nothing left to lose.
My daughter Yan is dead.
Even if the great Han dies today,
no family member would be at my funeral.
So why would i care?
There's a saying,
"To live and die in glory."
Our career as a triad,
we have to live our fullest.
Officer Chan.
Followed me far enough?
Where were you last night?
Are you friend or cop?
I'm a caring friend.
But if you think
I am asking you as a police officer,
please cooperate with the police
and tell us everything you know.
Have you seen Baldy?
No.
No?
You saw him.
He is no longer with us?
What do you want to know?
In the beginning, I knew what you were up to,
so I tried my best to support you,
giving you a chance to complete your mission.
However recently,
I find you falling deeper into the hole.
You even quit
working for officer Yeung.
As an old comrade,
and as a friend,
I feel I must share this with you.
Phoenix Chan,
stop talking like you got it all figured out.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
I may not have an idea,
but I fully understand
that if you continue on like this,
in the near future
you will end up like the Tiger.
You will never come back.
I know you mean well.
However,
I can't tell you anything this moment in time.
The least you can do,
is tell me if Baldy is one of ours?
Yes.
However…
He is already dead.
Don't tell me you were involved…
Alright then,
I will arrest Han immediately
and charge him with first degree murder.
Officer Chan,
it isn't the right time.
What will you have me do?
You're not telling me the truth,
you're not letting me arrest him,
you're putting me in a helpless position here.
Shall I wait until he murder some more people,
and point the finger at you,
before I make a move?
I can't wait that long.
You know I was leader of OCTB.
I am very aware
how much evidence you'll need to put someone away.
Even if you arrest him today,
there's nothing to chafe him with.
Nothing left to say?
Baldy is already dead.
Please tell Han…
even though I can't charge him with murder,
I'm going to put all eyes and ears on him 24 hours a day.
Tell him to watch himself.
You're included.
Danny Cheung…
What is it?
Did officer Yeung ever tell you
about his undercover officer?
I am that officer.
I sent someone undercover to spy on the Wo Hing Sing.
Who is it?
If we bust out there now, we might have a chance.
No.
If we do that, we would risk losing
everything officer Yeung
and myself fought for.
Tonight, either I die,
or we both die together.
If I'm going to die in the hands of the triad,
I'd rather
die in the hands of my comrade.
Han is coming.
I'll leave things in your hand.
Local news, a man went hiking
in the Ta Ku Ling woods this morning,
and found a man's dead body.
Police officers
rushed to the scene.
Further investigation
confirms the dead male to be
local police officer Pang Ming Kwong.
They suspect officer Pang Ming Kwong lost his life
undergoing a secret mission.
Police are investigating further…
Why is he with you, Mr. George?
Godfather.
After hearing about the Mrs. Lui incident,
I'm sure you know perfectly well the power of me and my people.
Why did you take him along
to see me today?
I know that you are electing a new Chairman.
I wish for
The Jake
to be one of the nominees.
Mr. George,
I know you are powerful.
However, there is something you don't understand.
Really?
Tell me about it.
This kid,
he caused so much shit
for us and other families.
If we make him Chairman,
it would be a death wish.
Really?
However,
this is not the same Jake as before.
He is totally different now.
Jake,
tell the Godfather
how you've changed for good.
Yes, Godfather…
I have completely changed…
Whatever it is you want,
I will comply…
Jake, are you sick or something?
I'm fine,
Boss White-Hair…
Perfectly fine…
You see?
Don't worry about a thing.
He'll do fine going up against Han.
Are you so against the idea of Han becoming Chairman?
Throughout history,
we have always been the ones
deciding who is to become Chairman
in the Wo Hing Sing.
Have you forgotten about that, old fart?
What did you say??
Sit down. Sit…
Yes…
When my father was around,
there was a lot of business going on between him and you guys…
However, in recent decades
since I have become Chairman,
we never kept any form of relationship
with the likes of you.
Don't you find yourself
a little rude?
Barging into our home without an invite?
Well?
True.
I am a businessman.
I understand, in order to get others to cooperate,
you need something worthy in exchange.
Why don't I let you know
our ultimate plan.
My supervisors are preparing to start
another stock market disaster in Hong Kong
before the handlever of 1997.
If you agree to help me out,
10% of the revenue
will we shared
with you.
Your deal sounds very good.
However, I still cannot accept it.
It is because,
The Jake who stands before you…
A while ago,
he murdered one of our elders.
An eye for an eye.
He owes us his life…
Yet you come barging in today,
asking me to
make him the new Chairman?
How is anyone going to accept this?
Oh.
I see your problem.
Simple.
Jake,
take out your hand.
Knife.
Here.
Now that Han gave his orders,
you will be working fulltime this week.
The more you do, the bigger our name.
Understand?
Yes…
Boss Long-Legs,
what's the plan?
The reason why the Ghost is laying low,
is because all three of his lords, the Blind, Shark and Horse went missing.
If we are fast enough to be first to take over their businesses,
Han will gain a lot of respect.
Understand?
Yes, boss!
Get your new movies here!
Jackie Chan, Rumble in the Bronx!
Stephen Chow comedy collection!
Leslie Cheung's greatest hits!
All Laserdisc quality,
six for a hundred bucks.
Hey, come check it out!
Six for a hundred,
what a bargain!
Come see for yourselves!
Hey.
I thought the Jackie Chan movie was LD quality?
Heads were moving in the foreground…
Movie's still being played in theatres,
even an idiot knows that!
You alright?
You want good quality?
Contact Jackie Chan yourself!
Refund!!
Are you mental?
If everyone comes here for a refund,
my business would be over.
Get out of here!
What do you want?
Not refunding??
Hell no!!
Then get lost, sucker!
Quit hanging around this place
and get the hell out!!
Hey,
this is the Blind's territory.
Who the hell you with??
We're with Han.
So what if you are??
What do you want??
You wanna die??
Freeze! This is the police!
Don't move.
Everybody down.
I told you to get down!
Get down!!
Get down! Stay down.
Kid,
who the hell did you say you were with again?
Stay down, kid.
Take them all back.
Yes, sir.
Get up! You're arrested.
Alright, let's do it!
Hey! What are you doing??
You run this joint?
So what if I do??
We're with Han.
Starting today, he's taking over.
Taking over?
You think he's all that??
He is all that.
Freeze!
Police! Police!
Freeze! Nobody move.
Stop moving!
Hands above your heads!
Thank you.
Need an ambulance?
No.
I'm fine.
What happened?
Why did they attack?
Messing with Han lately?
Of course not.
They came up here all of a sudden
saying that Han is taking over now…
Let me see some identification.
Show me the business registration.
What is it, Long-Legs?
What?
Arrested?
How??
I'll be right there.
Han.
What, Phoenix?
Going somewhere?
Making bail for all the kids we arrested?
Get in. I'll drive you to the station.
What are you, stupid?
I'm not riding with you!
I'm glad you think highly of me.
I've received news
that you are going for the Chairman position.
Sounds interesting,
how about I join in on the fun?
I have no idea what you're talking bout.
If you have proof,
arrest me.
Trust me, we will have proof.
Just letting you know,
that from this moment on,
we will be watching you closely 24 hours a day.
You better stay home
and do what old folks do.
If not,
the road you take will be a difficult one.
I see.
See you at the station.
Bring enough cash.
Fire-Shit,
I need you back immediately.
What is it?
Boss Fire-Shit,
Boss Han is waiting at the office.
Let's go.
Alright.
May I introduce,
this is my triad brother Fire-Shit.
Meet my new partner in crime, General.
Boss Fire-Shit.
You know,
I consider everyone sitting here in this room
to be definitely trustworthy.
Since we're on the same boat,
I think it's best we cut the suspicious bullshit as soon as possible.
How about it, Fire-Shit?
Han,
I'm always with you.
If you say so.
Excuse me, bro…
Not a problem.
Two weeks left until the election,
and the Phoenix is gripping me tight with his talons.
Long-Legs' boys were arrested. It's like the cops were ready.
Does anyone here
have any idea
how we should continue?
What else?
Get rid of him!
This is our last draw, you know?
What do you say, General?
I don't believe we should take him head on.
We should is divert his attention.
What does that mean?
I am aware more than anyone else,
how the OCTB
allocates their time and people.
All we have to do is cause mayhem everywhere around town,
diverting the police to arrest some decoys,
then the rest of our thugs can continue with our business.
What should we do?
Tonight…
Myself,
Boss Fire-Shit,
Boss Long-Legs,
together we cause mayhem
from Mong Kok to Tsim East.
Phoenix will have no choice
but lead his team to the wrong places.
Imagine how much damage a triad can do
if one of us manages to join the force!
That's a plan.
Fire-Shit, Long-Legs…
Back up the General.
Got it.
How are the boys doing?
Police pressed charges on some of them.
They're all released on bail now.
We had a handful of troops… .
Averaging three thousand dollars per bail,
that's nearly 200K…
Add on top some family compensation,
it is very obvious that Han is trying to
to show the world that he's willing to spend money.
His plan
is to have everything taken care of before he is made Chairman.
A few hundred thousand dollars
wouldn't be a problem for him at all.
I feel like we're indirectly supporting his promotional needs…
I'm actually more afraid if he went quiet.
Now that he's taking action,
we still have the upper hand.
That's true.
Officer Chan,
are we going to continue crashing their parties?
Of course!
Officer Chan,
one moment please…
What is it, Heman?
Well?
Hello!
I am the host sent here from the TV station reality show, my name is Chow.
You must be officer Phoenix Chan!
Well, yes…
So, officer Chan.
Has anyone from the PR department contacted you yet?
Yes they have,
why don't you fill me in on the details?
Well,
our show wishes to combine police work with entertainment.
Audiences sent us many letters,
saying they are really interested to see
the daily routines of police officers.
We might even film you arresting triad members or something!
If it's okay with you,
we wish to tag along
and record all of your heroic moments!
Also…
Listen…
What is it, officer Chan?
You wish to tag along?
Well, yes.
That's impossible.
It would make our investigations difficult.
No it won't, officer.
Haven't you seen those police reality shows?
They're doing really well, especially overseas.
You know, like CNN or COPS?
This is a great opportunity for the police force!
They…
Mrs. Chow,
I think officer Chan needs a little more time to brainstorm.
I'm serious, officer Chan.
This is a huge opportunity for you guys!
Just try it out!
Alright, alright, alright…
The both of you, this way please.
Officer Chan, I'll call you again!
Alright, sure thing…
Thank you! Thanks so much!
Excuse me…
If they tag along with us, we'd end up like some generic cop…
Hey! Do you think they have
clothing, hair, and makeup sponsorship?
Should I ask officer Leung for some?
I was only kidding.
Forget about it.
Get back to work.
Working hard…
Ms. Chow,
are we heading back to the TV station?
What's the plan?
We're here anyways, aren't we?
I'm not going back empty handed.
Ready your camera. We follow them.
Start rolling as soon as they take action, alright?
I'm sure we'll end up with cool footage.
Sure.
I'll get prepared.
Hey little lady,
interested in becoming the next top model?
Are you for real?
You're gorgeous!
I think you could really make it.
How do we begin?
Simple.
Our modelling agency is upstairs.
If you got a minute,
we can sit down and show you more information.
Well…
Chance of a lifetime!
Let's talk it over.
Let's bounce!!
Stay right there…
Relax.
What you want, man?
Who you working for?
You better watch out! We're with the Shark…
Cocky little shit…
The Shark is it?
Why don't you give him a call?
Go home,
ladies…
It's a scam.
Supermodels aren't born overnight.
What about us??
You?
Boys, take care of them.
No!
Don't kill him,
just beat them to a pulp.
Damn.
Call the cops, old man…
there's a fight going on.
Thank you.
Get to work.
Hello? Is this the police?
Wong, Old-Timer…
check on the parking lot.
Heman and Pang, come with me to Yao Ma Tei.
Yes, sir.
Keep in touch.
Okay.
Ms. Chow,
they're splitting up.
Which team should we follow?
The silver one.
Excuse me, driver…
follow that silver coloured vehicle.
Over there…
They're gone…
Officer?
Did you make the call?
Yes.
What happened?
Some kids were hanging around
handing out business cards
for some model agency upstairs…
Then out of nowhere,
a group of guys came by,
didn't say much…
They just started
beating up the two kids.
Was there a person leading the pack?
What did he look like?
There were so many people just now…
The one leading the pack…
I think…
he kinda looked like Bruce Lee,
with a darker skin tone…
The thing is,
he didn't strike me to be some triad.
Hello? Yes…
Hang on a sec.
Officer Chan, the station called
and said there's action over at Jordan Road.
Get Wong and Old-Timer on it.
Alright.
Old-Timer?
Thank you, officer.
We'll be there on the double.
Let's go.
Shoot me!
I asked you to shoot me!
You scared?
Shoot!
Why not pull the trigger?
You scared?
Try it, asshole!
What's going on?
Police!
Move over!
What is it, officer?
We were just patrolling by
when we saw these guys collecting protection fees.
They're all right here.
Record this, hurry!
They were yelling when we got here.
Hey,
who's your boss?
Well?
Me.
And who are you?
Wo Hing Sing Fire-Shit.
Don't know him??
Tell me, Fire-Shit.
What's going on here?
Now you listen
and you listen good.
From this day on,
every night
past midnight,
I own the streets!
Well?
Lucky we came…
Little Phoenix,
are you sleepy yet?
I wanna wait up for uncle Phoenix.
I know honey, but it's getting late.
How about we go home and wash up first?
Alright.
Pack your things,
and wait for me right here.
Little Phoenix!
There's a camera over there.
I can't hear you.
Say that again?
What?
Boss said,
that every night past midnight,
he owns the streets!
Is that so?
Past midnight he's gonna take a shit?
Shit…
You think you're funny?
Aren't you a cop?
Didn't take you for a funny clown!
What??
Pissed?
Why don't you shoot me then?
Shoot us!
Your name is Fire-Shit, right?
Why not change it to Eat-Shit?
What's all the ruckus?
What's going on??
Damn, I never thought
officer Wong could be such a badass.
Hey!
What's up?
Stand over there.
Hello, Fire-Shit.
Phoenix boy…
This ugly mother from your team?
Damn,
that's a shame.
Tell him to go home and change into his uniform…
Clown!
What clown??
Put a sock in it,
or we'll be arresting all of you tonight!!
I highly doubt you could accomplish that.
What did you say??
Want me to show you?
How about this?
I'll give you half an hour to assemble your team.
Then we'll see see who's got the bigger army.
Boys…
Listen to your big brother.
Shut the hell up,
I haven't gotten about that god damn bullet.
See you around.
Alright.
We go.
We go.
Quite the act, right?
Officers,
it's time to move on.
Alright then.
Hello?
Hello, Chan?
Little Phoenix disappeared!
What?
I don't know what happened!
I was just closing shop,
and he was standing there this whole time,
but when I turned around, he's gone!
I'm worried sick! What should I do?
Calm down a sec.
Wait there for me.
Maybe he'll come back? Be positive.
Please hurry.
You alright?
No…
I gotta go somewhere.
Han,
now that the police is ganging up on us,
they're getting real annoying!
How are we supposed to do anything?
Back in the day,
cops don't show up until for about a half hour.
Not today.
These days,
the cops are here the minute you strike a match.
Took away all the fun!
When people saw us messing around back then,
they had to get to a phone to call the cops.
These days everyone has a cellular phone.
Anyone can call the cops these days.
World's changing.
You two did a good job.
Now the whole triad world knows… Han is back.
Mission accomplished.
Han…
There's still a little time left.
What are you planning to do?
I wanna get rid of the Phoenix.
But the Phoenix is a cop.
Isn't that a little too far?
9 years ago, if it wasn't for him,
would Fire-Shit and I have gone to jail?
We wouldn't still be eating this shit.
If we get rid of him,
not only will I feel better about myself,
we will also
make sure everyone in the world knows
to never screw with Chairman Han.
What's the plan?
General.
Han.
You kidnapped Phoenix Chan's boy?
Have a seat.
A drink?
General?
No thanks.
The rest of you,
get out.
Yes, boss.
General…
this is personal business between me and the Phoenix…
Stay out of it.
Let him go,
or I'm out…
and I'm leaving with the Dragon-Head Baton.
What did you say?
Are you seriously
threatening me with the Baton?
I'll ask again…
are you defending an outsider against your own family?
Well?
General,
how close are you with the Phoenix?
We were colleagues for a year.
We were colleagues for a year.
I know he was a cop,
but did he have to drag my daughter into it?
I…
I only have one daughter.
She was never happy
when she was with him.
She died last year when she was only 30…
How am I supposed to just let go of my vengeance?
Did you know this boy is…
Believe me or not,
I didn't' take the boy.
Alright.
I believe you.
I gotta go.
Hey, General.
Next time you see the Phoenix,
you have him know…
that I understand exactly how painful it is to lose your only child.
Han,
did you take his boy or not?
Not everyone is fit
to be an undercover cop.
I guess I'm pretty bad at it myself.
A lot of it
has to do with luck.
Like Phoenix, you know…
Right place at the right time.
The moment Han was finally captured,
he reinstated had a steady career.
Myself?
I spent a few years
and only managed to follow some thug Boss…
If they never make it big,
how am I supposed to ever solve a big case?
It's alright though.
The moment I heard Han was released,
I knew he couldn't settle
to live a peaceful elderly life.
He was gonna take action soon.
If the Phoenix could do it,
I could surely do it.
All I needed was one chance,
and I could be the one to capture Han again.
Just this one chance.
Story to tell my grandchildren one day…
Would I do this all over again?
Of course.
I spent all these years
hoping to be promoted,
so I wouldn't have to be the little fish in the sea.
Who would have thought,
that it was until my last breath
that I finally truly did something
a police officer was destined to do.
Pat myself on the back.
