We're buddies.

Glad that you said that.

Let's have breakfast. Don't waste it.

- Dash forward. - OK.

Take a turn.

Are you a dog? So obedient.

He asked you to dash and you did.

It's dangerous.

So cruel.

I rented a place tonight

to celebrate your birthday.

I'm meeting a friend.

- What? You have friends? - Sure!

- Have fun! - Thanks, Archer.

Lynn.

Of course it's me. You free? Come over.

Why are you cursing me?

Auntie May, can I talk to your daughter?

What?

She's dead?

I'm so sorry!

Vivien, it's Wilson.

What?

Nothing, it's my birthday today.

Don't say it's none of your business.

Actually I won

the lottery today...

- Judy, please. - Happy Birthday!

Thank you...

Are you off work already?

Not yet. I'll drop by your place later.

OK, bye!

Bye.

Long time no see.

Not that long. Only half a year!

Been to Vietnam lately?

Be careful if you're going there.

Don't be caught by the cops.

They put people away for eating Pho?

You said you wouldn't sell liquor

but you are now.

You think I like selling liquor?

What else can I do?

A whore?

Don't say that. There're many ways to fame.

You know this Blue Girl.

She also sold liquor.

Now she has her own brand.

How about Carlsberg?

Carl used to sell burgers

before he sold beer.

That's why his brand is called Carlsberg.

How about mine?

So don't say we have no future.

Johnny Walker used to walk here,

there, everywhere.

I'll take a shower.

I'll leave on my own later.

- Something's up, Tiger? - You bet!

Where we going later?

- Picnic in the suburbs! - OK!

Take my daughter first!

- Cops! Get into the car! - Sh*t!

You can be discharged any time.

If you wanna fight, I won't cut you slack.

If you wanna die, don't get me involved.

I wanna testify.

Come in!

Inspector Wong, we brought a perp in.

It hurts, Inspector Wong.

Get me something to drink. It's so hot.

Sam has squealed on Tony.

That's great. Take him in!

We need to plan our deployment.

Those guys are fierce.

You'll die if they find out.

I know that. I'm more scared than you.

Don't tell me you're leading the operation!

Relax.

Those Viets are not my turf.

Call back the most ferocious officer.

The Force needs him urgently.

It's you who need him the most.

Inspector Wong!

Shut the door!

What's with you?

Why you kept the door open for so long?

It's OK.

Let me know if anything goes wrong.

It's fine,

or I wouldn't have called you back.

Get this over with quickly

and we'll go for a dip. All right?

- Sure. - Yes, officer.

Put on your helmet.

- Let me finish my cig first.

- Drop your cig...

or you won't find a gal.

Put on your helmet first!

Bastard!

Inspector Wong, look at him!

Beat him up!

It's almost 1997.

Stop horsing around.

It's their mom's birthday tonight.

They'll show up.

Help me clear the scene first.

We need you to assist

in the Viets' case.

OK!

Wilson!

Wilson...

Have a bite. It's very yummy.

- Try it! - Auntie.

Many happy returns!

May you be younger and prettier!

Thank you!

No appetite?

Don't talk to her. She won't eat.

- Gotta go! - OK.

Enjoy your meal, Auntie.

Call again if you don't get a reply.

What time is it? Still not a soul.

- Have a bite! - Sh*t! Let's go!

Have a bite!

Tiger!

Come over!

You're too loud! You scared Mom.

Kneel down!

Say sorry to Mom.

Mom! Please eat something.

Everybody is here.

So nobody's

going to Archer's Mom's birthday?

Have a bite.

Come on.

Have a bite.

It's very yummy.

I'll order

something else for you.

Sea cucumber?

Abalone?

You don't like this? How about bird's nest?

Shark fin!

Brother, we have a situation!

What situation can be worse

than Mom not eating?

Please eat.

Tiger, feed Mom.

Let's start working!

Stay here tonight.

Someone will take care of you.

Good luck with the bust, Inspector Ma.

Come on.

Please eat.

You don't like the food in this restaurant.

I can take you to another one. OK?

Tiger!

- Wilson! Come here. - Coming.

- Hurry up! - OK!

Captain!

You have a car? What make?

Where's it parked?

So?

Take the cash.

I drive Mom first. See you at the pier.

Got it!

Where we going?

To the warehouse.

What's wrong?

I saw nobody.

How do I know when he left?

Saw anyone suspicious?

- Inspector Ma!

- How's his situation?

Still breathing.

The ambulance is on its way.

- Cindy... - Yes!

Check his license plate number.

Yang, you stay behind and wrap things up.

Yes, sir.

Hello.

Where are you? I'm at your door.

I'm busy. I'll call you back.

Should I wait for you

at your place tonight?

Not tonight.

I'll cut you a key... next time. Bye.

- Stop talking on the phone! - Sorry.

The target is

a dark green Mazda MPV.

License plate JL2933.

The other is a crimson Acura.

DE3654.

Give me a hand.

Did you lock the door, Tiger?

You're right!

I'll go lock it. You get in first.

They are packing to flee. Talk later.

Let's go, Tony

- Is it locked? - Yes!

Sit at the back!

OK!

That one looks like it.

Wilson, hand me your phone.

Tony!

Sit tight, Mom

Slow down!

Pull over! I say pull over!

Mom, sit tight!

It's headed towards Chai Wan.

- Hang in there. - I wanna puke.

Puke there.

It's OK. Just puke.

It's made a turn towards

an industrial building.

Get off!

We're headed toward the pier.

Go see what happened.

Are you all right, buddy?

- How's Wilson? - Inspector Wong!

Dunno yet. Doctors are operating on him.

That means he will be OK. Stay calm.

What's with you? Are you crazy?

If anything happens to Wilson,

you have to pay.

- What's with you?

- None of your business.

You must be Judy.

I can arrest you for hitting a cop.

- So what if you're a cop?

- Wilson is my partner.

He's also a cop.

What you in for? Triad?

No, I'm no Triad.

Then follow me...

Call me Archer.

Archer.

Did you see your three sons beat people up?

I have three sons?

He has disappeared.

Sir, can you call the police for me?

I need to call the police.

My son has disappeared.

No one will take care of her,

now or ever.

Watch over her. She might go astray.

It's my birthday.

I'm 80 today. Come earlier.

I'm 80. I'm 80.

Archer Sin, there's enough evidence that

from 1992 to Feb 1997,

you've been involved in

smuggling, infliction of injury

and Triad activities.

You're hereby thus charged. Do you confess?

No, sir.

The court is

adjourned till May.

Meanwhile, turn over your travel documents.

No travel outside Hong Kong. No bail.

All your assets will be frozen

till the case is closed.

You're blaming all this on me.

Sure you can do it?

Go!

Hands off!

- Or I'll sue you for sexual harassment.

- Go!

Three Months Later

I almost can't catch up with you!

I'll slow down a bit for you, ok?

Slowly. You'll get used to it slowly.

Of course slowly.

One of my feet is crippled.

Everything has been well arranged.

You're transferred to Admin.

Effective next week.

Admin?

The government should compensate me.

But they won't.

I even need to pay for court fees.

Isn't it ridiculous?

You call this well arranged?
