Coach, it's the police.

We're on a case. Step aside.

What's wrong? What happened?

The coach has run away.

Chase after her.

After her.

Bingo. I can't believe it.

Take a break. More policemen are coming.

I told you, Szeto.

That big-foot who cleaned out

five jewellery shops...

...in a row three years ago was a woman.

Come quickly.

Minnie, Minnie.

Are you OK, miss?

Minnie!

Minnie!

I lost her. I only picked up a shoe.

Why do you give it to me?

I thought you're a sprinter?

She was much taller than me.

She doubled my strides.

I even broke my heels.

Why didn't you shoot her? You

also mentioned your marksmanship.

I can't shoot at Minnie.

She's not Minnie?

Who said she is?

Just guessing.

I'm Chief Inspector Szeto Fabo.

Where's the suspect?

Gone.

Go check him out. Get a police dog.

Send someone.

We're talking about $1M bounty.

Johnston.

You're actually investigating

into your own case.

You're not looking for Minnie.

Well, I'm doing both.

You cheated me to help you get your bounty.

What do you mean by cheat?

Who do you think I am?

Who do you think Johnston is?

- Me cheating you?

- Come on, her feet are all swollen

How do I cheat you?

What do you mean?

I'm teaching you to be a cop,

to help you improve.

What's that?

They're like roasted pig knuckles.

My parents didn't want me to be a cop.

But I didn't care.

Because I really wanted to find Minnie.

I felt I was my responsible...

...for her disappearance.

I've applied for ten days' leave.

I still have a week's time.

You're a madcap, aren't you?

I was raised in a broken family.

Is Minnie's mother still in jail?

She killed herself in prison.

How about her grandma?

She was released a few years ago.

I asked her about Minnie. She's clueless.

Bring me to her.

Watch out!

Granny! Granny!

I'm Ho.

Are you there?

- Excuse me...

- I don't know.

I don't know her.

Never saw her.

Don't ask me.

Call Granny.

Granny's here.

The perfume's intoxicating.

Pang.

Come out. Out!

Come out, you nymph.

You can't desert me like that.

I helped you change the

light bulb out of kindness

But it turned out I

have to run for my life.

I don't like you at all.

But I do. I've fallen in love with you.

For God's sake.

Leave him alone.

Leave my father alone.

Leave my father-in-law alone.

Shut up!

Pang, my love for you is genuine.

But you've treated me like trash.

You've dumped me.

I'll make your life miserable.

You're out of your mind.

Run!

- Let's go!

- Don't look!

Close the door.

I won't let go of you.

Granny went down by the back stairs.

After her.

Help to put everything onto the truck.

Forget everything. Leave them behind.

Let's get into the truck.

- Let's go!

- Where's she?

This way

Pang...

...wait for me!

Pang!

Taxi.

Granny is getting a taxi.

Follow her.

Quick!

Let's go. Quick.

Quick, after the truck.

Go after it.

Quick!

I can't live without him.

Granny, this is Johnston.

He's looking for Minnie.

We've some questions for you.

I know nothing.

Leave me alone.

Quick!

Drive faster!

Granny, Minnie is your granddaughter.

She has nothing to do with me,

dead or alive.

Leave me alone, or I'll fix you.

Vicious.

Quick!

This woman is intoxicated with love.

Leave her alone.

It'll expire very soon.

- What?

- The reward money.

Even if I crack the case,

I won't get paid.

Granny has got onto the truck.

She's shut herself in the closet.

What shall we do?

We'll go to Macau.

"Macau"

Is 8 points a sure win?

There's no sure win in gambling.

Give me a three-lines.

Three-lines (6, 7 or 8)

Come on...

Come on...

Are you making a fool of me, Szeto?

I've checked all the casinos.

You sure he's in Macau?

Cut the crap. It's all your fault.

The reward money for

the morgue murder will soon expire.

Extend it for me.

I don't care how you'd do that.

You came here on the

pretext of Minnie's case.

But in fact you're after your own case.

You never wanted to help me.

Minnie is human.

Hers is a human life.

How about the other victims?

How about Uncle Kao? Are they humans?

Are theirs human lives?

What kind of a cop are you?

After I went blind, I kept thinking.

Why on earth did God make me blind?

Then I understood.

I became blind...

...to look into old files

which no one cares...

...to go after those murderers

who have evaded capture...

...and to return justice to the victims.

Sorry about that.

It's fine, as long as you

understand. Let's find him.

- I've got him.

- Why didn't you tell me?

- Where?

- He's playing baccarat.

The one who sneezed.

He's leaving.

Follow him.

Quick!

Wasn't Tak the murderer in the morgue case?

What has it to do with this fat guy?

Don't tell me he is Tak.

He's gained that much weight?

Wanna be the Goddess of detectives?

Sure.

To crack a case, one must

have an imaginative mind.

You must learn to employ.

Brodmann Areas 37, 39,

40 of the cerebral cortex.

What areas? Where are they?

Here, here and here.

Here, here and here?

Close your eyes.

Done.

- Where are you?

- In a restaurant.

Want me to beat you up?

Imagine yourself...

...being in the office of the morgue.

The time was Wednesday, April 17, 1992.

There's a live broadcast of

the last horse race on TV.

The commentator was very exhilarating.

Heading in the final round...

...is Warlord, followed

closely by More Treasures.

Uncle Kao and Tak betted

on a Six-up jackpot.

They had won five races in a row.

This was the decisive one.

But there was a third person at the scene.

Who?

Imagine it was yourself.

No. 8, hang on.

You used to chip in on their bets.

But not this time.

Damn! Everytime I chipped in, you'd lose.

When I didn't, you'd win.

Well, this proves that you have bad luck.

Why complained?

We had asked you to chip in. Jerk.

The Six-up jackpot is a record-breaking...

US$5,209,010

What a fortune. Hurrah! Over $2M for

each. Uncle Kao, we can quit our job.

You simply couldn't

reconcile yourself to this.

Fury has overwhelmed your rationale.

I see. Tak was the victim, not the killer.

He's Lee, a day-shift colleague of

Tak and Uncle Kao.

After Uncle Kao's death and

the disappearance of Tak.

Lee collected the $5M

jackpot from Jockey Club...

...and started his own business.

But he soon lost all of the money.

Once a murderer, he wouldn't mind

committing more crimes.

In recent years, many gamblers

in Macau were hit on the head...

...and robbed. It must be him.

- Shall we arrest him?

- Of course. But how?

- Do you have a credit card?

- Yes.

- Do you have a credit line of $300K?

- Yes.

Bet against him.

I'll pretend to join.

Ensnare him. Make him mad.

Make him so hate you

that he wants to kill you.

All on my own?

Of course. Just be confident.

Find a Nosey Parker as your model.

In real life there's always

a Nosey Parker around.

- Three-lines

- 7

- There!

- Sh*t!

King or Jack.

$30K on Banker.

$100K on Player.

I can't see. Please place

my bet on Player for me.

No more bets.
