Hitman Page #3

if you want to be taken seriously

as a professional.

There's nothing more impressive

than a stylish killer.

- What's the matter?

- This costs $19,000!

Well, if you dress expensive,

you look expensive.

That's how it works.

I was wondering if you could help us.

You see, my friend here, ah...

he wants to try a new style.

The ideal material is polyester.

It's soft and tightly knit,

so you won't leave fibres

on the crime scene.

Long coats are good

for carrying weapons.

Black suits look smarter and slicker.

And as for the hair...

always use mousse to avold leaving

hair or dandruff on the scene.

- What are they for?

- To make you look smarter.

Ill be in touch.

Take this pager.

Where's my down payment?

What about all these new clothes!

Listen, don't follow me, all right?

You will call?

These clothes cost me $19,000,

of course Ill call.

His name is Norman Lu,

alias Crocodile Lu.

His file's about an inch thick -

theft, selling of porno tapes,

swindling and illegal gambling.

Im sure he's up to another scam,

acting as an agent.

He did invest $5m

just like the others.

Maybe he's cheating

the other agents, sir.

He may be a swindler

but he's not that smart.

So, what's he doing here?

Are there any answers

in your computer?

- No, sir.

- Let's go, then.

Is there something wrong

with what Im wearing?

Course not, Fred, you look great.

By the way, what's today's date?

- The fourteenth.

- Ah, fourteen! One and four.

I better find you a job

since you need some cash.

Order whatever you want.

Yeah, you're looking for

an exterminator?

What's the salary?

That's all?

No thanks, we're not interested, bye.

But, aren't we

going after the killer?

We still have to work in the

meantime. We have to earn a living.

Go ahead and eat.

Someone told me

he's in a retirement home.

- I heard he died a long time ago.

- Why didn't you say so?

Excuse me, gentlemen.

Have any of you seen Mr Leung lately?

Ah, yes, Mr Leung!

Yes, do you know where he is?

Well, you should ask Mrs Leung

about that. She knows everything.

I bet! Thanks.

Wait! We were just kidding.

You're looking for old man Leung?

That's right.

- He's been missing for a while.

- He hasn't come for tea in ages.

Excuse me, enjoy your tea.

Now there's a hard worker.

Did you see all the pagers he had?

- You ate all that?

- No, I left this for you.

How could you eat so much?

Ill deal with you later.

What an appetite!

Jim, what's new, a new target? Good!

You gave the job to someone else?

But Ive got this guy, he's just

come from America, he's really slick.

How did i get him? He wanted to spend

some time in South East Asia,

so he came to Hong Kong to see

his old friend. 50 thousand's fine.

Of course not, he comes out in a rash

if he doesn't kill regularly.

Whoever gets him first,

gets the money?

OK, OK, count us in then.

Who's the target? Yeah... Right...

OK, get the money ready, thanks.

What a pig!

I eat three meals in one

to save time.

More like three months of meals.

I think we'd better leave.

- Wait, want take away?

- Take away?

The terms of our business agreement

are as follows:

Sometimes you may be required

to maim a target.

leg, and 20% discount for both legs.

- And the right hand?

- That's free.

- Why?

- It always gets in the way.

So it ends up as a freebie.

Why don't you look around

for a while?

What about you?

I don't know the target,

so Ive got to find my informer.

- But there's so many kids around.

- Want me to chase them away first?

Wait here.

- I want some candy.

- Give me a pink one.

Just hit the tile and you win, go on!

Aw, you missed!

I can do it, watch.

- Need some help?

- No thanks.

OK, if i lose your dollar,

Ill give you five back.

Deal!

Try number two tile, I want Big Bird!

That one?

Hooray! I won Big Bird!

Here you are mister,

toss another coin!

- What number?

- Try number one.

- Here mister, try it again!

- All right, one at a time, kids.

That's great, mister!

There you go.

A bunny! I won a bunny!

No, kids. Sorry but we're closed,

come back tomorrow, OK?

- Sorry, kids. Did you have fun?

- Yeah!

An assassin who loves children,

isn't that sweet?

I shouldn't have underestimated

a man of your calibre.

What do you mean?

Your target's just over there.

Do the job, Ill be nearby.

Wait! Who's the target?

I thought you knew.

- Where'd you get the toys?

- From that man.

The Father of that kid. The kid likes

you, that should make it easier.

Just go over there

and cut his heart out. Piece of cake!

Go on, it's getting late.

Just think of the cash. Go on.

That's right. Don't let me down.

Think of the reward.

Hey, Fred, have you called your mom?

- Not for ages.

- Me neither.

I just shot him!

Right in the forehead!

His head exploded like a watermelon.

Get down!

- Fred!

- Leave the kid alone.

You want him yourself.

- Help me! Help me!

- Sorry, I can't!

Not me! That guy!

You! Drop the gun! Drop it!

Freeze! I said freeze!

- Hands up!

- I didn't do anything.

- OK, Norman, let's start again...

- Captain Kwan.

What were you doing at the carnival?

Having fun.

Having fun?

Children have fun at carnivals.

Well, times are changing -

these days, men are even selling

women's lingerie and wearing it too!

We found your fingerprints

on the dead man's gun. Explain.

Your fingerprints are on my wallet.

If my fingerprints are on this desk,

does that mean this desk is mine?

About the deceased, he's from your

home town, so you know him, right?

I didn't know him.

All right - explain your relationship

with Norman Lu.

Norman's my friend.

Not just a friend, a close friend.

You're lying,

that Mainlander is a criminal!

Oh, I see, a criminal, huh?

Look, whoever you are, you have

no right to accuse an innocent man.

This is what we get for saving lives.

Where were your people

when it happened?

Captain,

someone's bailing out Norman Lu.

- Who?

- His daughter and a lawyer.

This is my daughter,

who just happens to be a lawyer.

- Hi, honey.

- What is it this time?

Nothing to do with me.

Don't lie, someone's just died

and Im sure you know something.

Can you bail my friend out too?

Just what kind of friend?

Excuse me.

This is my friend.

You're improving -

no scars, no tattoos.

Everything's arranged.

No problems, you're free to leave.

- And this man?

- He needs to be bailed out too.

- No problem. Ill take care of it.

- Thanks a lot.

David, Ill join you.

- That's your daughter?

- That's right. Why do you ask?

What? She takes after

her mother, all right?

Im warning you...

don't even think about it.

Got that?

"Police Station"

Wait for me here while i get the car.

David, wait.

I never expected your daughter

to be a budding lawyer.

Life's full of surprises.

I couldn't help noticing

some tension there.

What? She's just cool

and reserved like me.

We treat each other

in a mature fashion -

since we're living in modern times -

not that you'd know about that.
