I win!

You learn that from the novels?

- Am I right?

I usually have a lot of cases.

For example?

- Search for missing persons.

Cats and dogs.

- Tail a suspect.

Someone's mistress.

- Escort important supplies.

Express delivery.

- How did you know it all?

They are all in Chinese.

You are such a loser.

Where else can you go?

It's just six more days.

If I upset you, you can look away.

I'll be with you for six days.

Then my job is done.

I'll take you to

the Grand Palace tomorrow.

Don't lie to me again.

I hate liars.

Fine. No more lies.

We've received the results for

the finger prints. It's him.

Let's go. Get him.

Yeah. I'm talking about you.

Hot Fuzz.

Go, go, go!

Do you think Xiang will

kiss me when she sees this?

You should try it, too.

You will get cuter.

You think I am a loser,

don't you?

You think you are smarter than me?

Fine.

Let's play a game. Quiz.

If I lose, I'll give you 50 baht.

If you lose, give me 100 baht.

How about that?

Because you are smarter than me.

- All right.

You are younger, you first.

What is the linear distance

between the earth and sun?

The mean distance

is 149,600,000 kilometers.

What is his name?

So what's the answer?

- I don't know, either.

Buy me a coke. Cold one.

Don't be upset.

It's reddish between your eyes.

It means you are getting lucky

with the ladies.

It's blackish at the top of

your nose bridge.

It's mean You'll be in big trouble.

Cuh cuh cuh!

Hello.

You killed someone and...

...the police is after you.

You think that's funny?

You are surrounded by the cops.

Listen.

The evidence is conclusive.

You are a dead man if you

get arrested. Run for your life.

Ready.

Go!

Get him!

Get him!

He is a cop. Run!

Let me be. Get him!

Get him!

I thought you were

taking me to the Grand Palace.

Yes

To the Grand Palace.

Why??

Why is the police after you?

- Yes, why?

I'm asking you.

Why?

You hit me?

- No, I didn't.

You didn't hit me?

- No.

Why are they after you?

They said I killed someone.

- Who did you kill?

Who did I kill?

- Tell me who you killed.

- Tell me who I killed.

- How would I know?

How would I know?

Huang Landeng, how can you

do something like this?

You catch my man in my precinct

without my knowledge?

Bastard!

Your man?

- Of course.

Everyone in Chinatown knows

that Tang Ren is my man.

You can ask them about it.

What's your evidence?

- Landeng, the evidence.

Three months ago in Chinatown,

four gold shops were burgled.

101 kg of gold has gone missing.

The first suspect we lock

in the robbery gang...

...is the craftsman Sompat

from Sompat Workshop.

We have verified that the

stolen gold is in his workshop.

On April 15th, when we were

about to arrest Sompat...

...he was found dead.

The time of death is

from 11 pm to 1 am on April 14th.

According to

our thorough investigation...

...there is only one entrance

to his workshop...

...that is the front door.

There are four cameras

outside the front door.

We found that during the time

the murder happened...

...the only one who went into

the crime scene...

...was Tang Ren.

Tang Ren's finger prints are

all over the murder weapon...

...and the gold is gone.

So we figure out that...

...Tang Ren is the short guy

among the five suspects.

He double-crossed his partner

and killed him for the gold.

As long as we find Tang Ren,

we can retrieve the stolen gold.

Are we clear?

- Yes!

Kon, do you still

have something to say?

First of all, I have nothing to do

with that Tang Ren.

I thought you said everyone

in Chinatown knows that...

...Tang Ren is your man.

I heard you are the big boss...

...of that

private detective agency.

Don't you say anything like that.

I'll sue you for slander.

He is slandering me.

Hello.

- Tai, you...

Cut it out.

How dare you murder a man?

I give you six hours

to turn yourself in.

Tai, I...

- Cut it out.

Don't run away from this!

Never take a smuggler

to leave Thailand...

...and transfer to Laos,

Cambodia, Vietnam and Burma.

Never let me see you again!

I will eat you alive if I do.

I will not live under the same sky

with crimes.

Great!

What should we do now?

I have to see Kon Tai and

find out what it's about.

You should turn yourself in.

- What?

Turn yourself in. There is

no death sentence in Thailand.

You only have to serve

a sentence of about 40 years.

Are you listening to yourself?

Who wants to be in jail

for 40 years?

I am your uncle.

- A distant uncle.

Blood is thicker than water.

- But you are a murderer.

I am not.

- Tell this to the police.

Will they listen to me?

I'm not a citizen here.

It's all right when I behave.

But once I break the law, they can

do whatever they want to me.

I don't want to spend

the rest of my life in prison.

It's none of my business.

I don't want to run anymore.

You assaulted the police.

It's a felony in Thailand.

You have to stay in jail for

at least a dozen of years.

I didn't know anything.

You are in Thailand now.

It's not up to you anymore.

You can't speak fluent Mandarin,

who would listen to you?

They would beat you up

and throw you in prison.

Do you know

what they have most in Thailand?

For a cute guy like you,

when you get in jail...

...you will be gang-raped

by a dozen of big guys.

Mohist Fist of South Sect!

Thank you.

Thank you? Cut it out.

Blindfold him.

You scum! You poked my eyes...

...and grabbed my private area.

- Enough.

Where is it?

- What?

You are still playing dumb?

- I'll give whatever you want.

It seems you didn't take the hint.

Where is the gold?

The gold is on his neck.

- Neck?

You look like a tough man.

- We are all street boys.

Show me some respect.

- Why is it incomplete?

I couldn't stand the pain,

so I told them to stop.

A half-baked dragon.

- Don't!

Cut it out!

It's not the gold I want.

After you killed Sompat,

where did you take the gold?

Who is Sompat?

- You took their stuff.

Just give it back.

- Shut up! I am your uncle here.

Turns out you are his uncle.

Tell us or I'll shoot him.

That won't make me know

something I don't.

Just tell him. I am your nephew.

No, just a distant nephew.

Don't.

- Blood is thicker than water.

Give me a hint.

- That box of gold.

You mean in the statue workshop?

- Go on.

That man called me and

asked me to pick up the box.

I didn't know

there was gold inside.

Where did you take the box?

- That man asked me to...

...deliver it to the underground

parking lot of Haitian Mansion...

...and drop it off next to a van.

King Kong, watch over them.

- Okay.

Vietnamese, let's go find the box.

- Okay.

If you lie to me...

- You can kill me.

You want to eat?

You stole our gold,

so we have to eat this.

Do it!

What are you doing?

Let go, let go! Let go!

We let go together.

- Fine.

One, two, three.

Give me the necklace.

- Here.

Come on. Run!

Let go, let go, let go!

Time and resync by, Chaoshary20 @Subscene

It's all your fault.
