Still hiding, Fatso?

I'm busting you no matter what.

Have I ever busted the wrong guy?

I'll leave the answer to the judge.

My duty as a cop...

is to catch thieves.

Before Hong Kong's Handover

to China in 1997

- Four fives. - Open!

- Yeah! Drink! - I gotta win.

Let's guess again. One bottle.

Seven sixes? All of a kind again?

You know how to play or not?

Waiter, show her the instruction book.

Let me introduce my brother. Tiger. Sam.

- Nice to meet you, Sam!

- Nice to meet you!

You sweat a lot.

That's my real brother, Archer.

I got lots of inventory.

I have men everywhere but you want it all.

You're going to Vietnam.

The three of us can take care of this.

Who knows better than us?

We're from Vietnam.

Your splitting ratio

is fine by me.

Lost again.

No, No. One more time.

Four aces. One bottle.

Four aces?

- You sure you got them?

- I'm bloody sure I do.

Police inspection. Lights on.

Stand over there!

You! Step forward!

I drew the bottle.

So what?

Excuse me... I'm sorry...

On Jan 2, 1996,

you intentionally injured

a suspect in Mongkok,

fracturing his hipbone

and 3 ribs.

Do you admit it?

On Feb 17, 1996,

during an anti-Triad operation

on Temple Street,

you injured another suspect intentionally,

causing a serious head concussion

and permanent anosmia.

Do you admit it?

- In 1996...

- Enough! I admit to it all.

During the first part of this year alone,

you had an average of 14 operations a month

and you insured an average of

This year you allready broke last year,

record in less then 6 months.

What's wrong with cops busting thieves?

It's my turn to complain.

Are you guys busting thieves or cops?

I know you're an excellent officer,

Inspector Ma.

You also have the highest rate

of solving crime.

But your attitude is the problem,

That needs to change.

I don't see any problem with that!

OK, you can go.

I've been here

for over an hour.

Could have cracked already a case outside.

You better evaluate

your law enforcement standards.

Don't waste everybody's time.

Good!

Give me 50 grand.

Such a high stake! You'll lose.

Tiger.

That's not the way to play golf.

It's not kung fu. Stand firm.

I'll teach you, ok?

It's very simple. Grab the club.

Keep your feet and shoulders

in a straight line.

Keep your eyes on the ball.

Follow through with your Swing.

That's just for an example.

O.K. Next time! Next time!

Something seems wrong, Archer.

Don't say anything.

My friends here are clean.

Go now!

I asked you to transport some goods to Vietnam.

But it's always either to windy or to rainy.

It's been 2 months already!

Planning a trip to the moon?

Are you trying to f*** with me?

No man, but bad weather is quite natural.

I didn't even blame you

for the bad luck.

I have 80M there.

Get it back and we call it quits.

Should've told me earlier.

I'll send it by express for you.

It only takes a couple of days by plane.

Why would you use a boat?

It would take weeks.

You better wait quietly at home!

What did you say?

Be cool or I'll knock the hell of you.

Are you threatening me? Who the f*** you think you are?

I know you're the boss

but you can't tell me what to do

You need your henchman.

Ask Tony to come out.

Sh*t!

That's how we run things here.

Is it really necessary

to do this in public?

Just putting on sun block!

You trying to get even or what?

Wait for me first.

You always end up arguing.

Later!

Ask him to cut the crap.

He could've busted me.

Why does he always have to fight?

Even though I know you're good at it.

You called me for help

and I gave you a hand.

Now things got out of hand

and you're blaming me.

Stop yelling! You jerkoff,

lousy piece of meat!

And you hurt my wrist so badly.

The doctor said

there might be complications.

Last time you threw a bottle of wine at me.

I would've blown your cover

if I hadn't reacted.

And you fought back. Remember?

I would've lost face

if I hadn't fought back.

Lost face? You're a f***ing cop! Lost face?

You want a loudspeaker, you dumbo?

You're partners.

You shouldn't have hit him so hard.

Knowing his temper,

you shouldn't have provoked him.

Why make such a mess?

When I'm duped, you said we're partners.

But he can play the model every day.

You two want me to be a snitch till when?

Let Bygones be bygones.

Who's leading whom anyway?

- Not this again! - Not what?

Cops have regulations.

Stop arguing.

You might not be partners anymore.

Really?

The verdict is out.

You still lead.

Report to the Police Band next week.

No way! They've gone too far!

As you just said, cops have regulations.

I'm appealing!

Keep it up!

Ditto!

We can't think too much. Just go ahead!

If we're destined to die, so be it!

What's wrong with you?

You got it wrong 4 times!

How so?

The E-flat

after the sextuplet on the 12th bar.

We heard nothing.

Just you yelling.

Be serious! We are cops.

If you wanna play, form your own band.

You can't expect everyone to be like you.

- You dare to talk back...

- You are definitely wrong!

When a cop errs, he either hurts others

or he hurts himself. Do yourjob well.

Mom, I'm busy.

I won't bother you.

I'm going back to my hometown.

I'll go with you when I have time.

I did wait.

I waited till my friend there died.

If I'm happy there,

I probably won't come back.

Mom, don't!

I'll be bored here all by myself.

You worry about me,

yet you have no time for me.

Be careful.

Don't risk your life catching thieves.

What's most important to a man?

Preserving life. Without life,

how can you be a man?

Be careful. I gotta go.

We're all trying to make a living here.

You swiped Sam's goods.

He came here to talk

but you wanted him dead.

Now you ask us to stay out of the way?

Sam has to go.

You don't wanna get hurt by accident,

do you?

If you back off, nothing will happen.

Without you three, nothing will happen.

You better not mess up my place.

We took you in when you were refugees.

We were stuck in the refugee camp

like prisoners.

Why did we riot?

Because we wanted our own home.

If anyone wants us to leave today,

they have to fight us.

- Brother! - How's the talk?

Didn't work?

No, we're still talking.

Don't move yet,

or there's no point talking anymore.

Don't play games, you three.

- Forget it. Let's move. - Wait.

I'll let you talk to him.

Your wife took your son

to school so early.

It would be a pity if he's dead.

You're buffing me.

Of course. Thought I'd buy you breakfast?

I don't wanna hurt

each other's feelings either.

If you can talk,

we can cooperate in the future.

The woman in red with the child,

both wearing glasses.

He looks kind of dumb.

When I ask you to dash toward them,

you go ahead.

OK!

Hurry up. Made up your mind yet?

Your son is almost near the door.

I didn't hear an answer.

I'll stay out of Sam's business.

Louder, or he can't hear.

I'll stay out of Sam's business.

You stand down, I stand down.

Archer... Hero.

Let's get together and have fun some time.
