Synopsis: After a botched attempt to nab a drug smuggler in a parking garage, police detectives Ho Ting-Bon (Yun-Fat Chow) and Cheong Yan (Fong Liu) accidentally cause a runaway car to hit a young woman, Kwong Sun (Joey Wang), who is in the city illegally. Sun then fakes amnesia in order to protect her illegal identity, and is put-up for several nights by Bon. While Sun struggles to find her identity papers in Hong Kong and relatives to take her in, Bon feels compelled to let her stay in his home. However, Sun can only fake her amnesia for so long.

I think I have breast cancer

Well then, we'll need a bigger needle

No. Help

Ouch. The pain

Freeze. Police

Bad

You've been out cold for the past 24 hours

How did you get here?

Your mom just went home to rest this morning

She'll come and see you again later on

Thanks for taking care of me

I won't bother you anymore

Where are you going?

Mom, he's better now

You must be tired staying up all night

Go home and get some rest

Bon

Mom

Mom, I must leave HK

for a few days

I won't have time to come over

Take care of yourself

Kwong Sun

Don't say anything. I know what happened

No matter where you are from

I'll always consider you as my daughter-in-law

Stay with us

Don't cry, my child

Bon is a good son

Let me talk to him

What is it now, mom?

A woman knows how a woman feel

That poor girl

A young girl in a strange place all by herself

She told you?

She didn't tell me anything. I saw her letter

She was born here you know

All she needs is to find proofs

Mom, I'm a policeman

How can I keep a stowaway in my house?

Nobody will know if she doesn't go out

Of course I can't decide

Or else she can stay

It all depends on you

What do you say?

Is that a yes or a no?

What do you think?

Whatever you say mom. Happy now?

I'm just trying to help

a poor girl

Kwong Sun

Is the person in charge here?

Anything important?

I want to have my birth certificate searched

The owner went to Macau

Come back next week

Dim sum. Tasty dim sum

Want something, miss?

How about these? They're fresh

Pay time

I can get paid

How many days have you worked?

Seven

That's $280

With tips, that's. . .

The immigration people are here to spot check

What should I do?

Go

Hurry up

What about my pay?

What?

Worry about it later

Hurry up, go

You'll be in a mess if they caught you

You'll get deported

What are you doing coming back here?

Hurry up, go

Hurry up

Nice

We have more money to spend this month

Right on

Want to make more money? Hire stowaway workers

Shut up and hand me my share

Mahjong?

I'm not playing

What do you mean?

We've said earlier that we're celebration

Bon's recovery with a game

Right

I won't win. You always cheat

What? Me cheat?

Yes

You never wear you undies when you play

It's a real curse

I know I can't. What's the big deal?

You four go ahead

Don't count me in

Forget it

Let's go

Bye

Want to go see a movie?

Fine

What now?

Your wife

What?

Let's see what's going on first

We've just got rid of her. Don't bother with her

If she can't heck it, she'll come back

Let's go

I hate to be on duty when it rains

We are soaked

All over my pants

Damn

I'll get you next time

Let's find somewhere

to dry off

How about over there?

Anywhere

Is there something. I can do for you?

She's my sister

She has moved to Canada

I'm not sure if there are any references left

There're appliances and files to be packaged

They are not shipped out yet

Do you think you can help me out?

No problem

Why don't you write to her

and tell her your situation?

Can you give me her address?

Of course. Let me get it for you

Here it is

Thanks a lot

It's nothing. Write to her soon

I will. Goodbye

You two wait here

I need to get some money

Sure

Wait here for him. I'll bring the car over

Told you not to lay them out so far

Sorry sir. I'll fix it right away

I've told you many times

Want to get arrested?

Sorry

Miss

What are you doing here?

I'm just waiting for some friends

Can I see your ID?

Let's see some identification

Sorry

Partner, what is it?

Is she your friend?

Yes. Sorry, we're running out of time

Stay right here

Duty is duty

Sorry to trouble you ID please

I told you we're in a hurry

Excuse me. ID please

Can't you just spare me the trouble?

Sorry no. Please show your ID

Haven't got it?

What is it?

Who's bugging you?

Say what?

I suspect she doesn't have any ID

Sorry, ID please

Come over here, partner

I'm from Kowloon Headquarter, Triad Dept

Listen

No matter what you see, don't be nervous

Stay calm

We have received information

There'll be 8 armed men coming to rob this bank

Don't get nervous

Our men are dispersed all over this area

Including those two at the bank

They can't identify themselves on the street

How many robbers will there be, you know?

Around 8. Armed with 2 handguns and 4 rifles

There may be hand grenades and machine guns too

Don't let this information out

I know

Can I help you?

What can you help me?

I wanted to, but since cadet school

I've only open fired twice

And both times, I missed and hit on-lookers

There's no need then. This is a dangerous case

Can't make any unnecessary sacrifice, right?

- Right

- I'll leave

Don't look around

Stay cool

Don't frown. Try to whistle

Whistling may help relax you

Strange?

How come everyone seems to know

I have no ID?

Of course. Look at you

Sure look conspicuous

I'll take you to get some decent clothes

Go try it on

How do you know this place?

Judy took me here

Watch it.You might bump into her

Don't be silly. It's office hours

How come she's here?

Miss

Please wrap this up for me

Yes

See anything you like?

No. Nothing fits me

It's not good

Shut up

I want to look at some sunglasses

Girl, take your time

Yes

Bon, what are you doing here?

What a coincidence

Long Man and I are looking for toilets

We have to go desperately

Yes

Is this a toilet?

So, is you

Don't you lose your cool. Let me explain

I won't but I don't want your explanation

I'm leaving

Miss Judy, please let me explain

Slut

Why do you hit her?

So what?

What do you want?

Please, stop it

Get your hands off me or I'll yell rape

Enough. Look at you

You're acting like a maniac

Yes, I'm a maniac

At least I'm not like her

a cheap whore

Who do you think you are? You're just a cop

I'm raising your standard by being seen with you

Men like you

are a dime a dozen

But if you want to find another girlfriend like me

Do more good deeds

Maybe in your next life, find a wealthy father

Then, you may have some hope yet

Only men like you are worthy of women like her

Have you said enough?

Sure. I've hit her enough and yelled enough

What can you do about it?

Arrest me?

I'll arrest you

As a member of the Royal HK Police Force

I am charging you for assault

She is the victim

I'm the eye-witness

Don't be scared. What's so big deal about cops?

Right. Take them to court

You two know this woman?

What if we do?

Then, you two are in this together?

You two may now

also be charged as accomplices

Show your IDs

Partner, I think we need to call a big van

Make the call now

I don't know her well

We'll just acquaintances

I'm just doing my job. Get your IDs out

IDs

Forget it

You're lucky the victim isn't pressing charges

Can I go now?

Wait

Legally, you can go

But personally, I think you owe her an apology

Me, apologising to her?

Say it

Sorry

Can you people here her?

No

Well, they can't hear you

Sorry
