PLAN B:

We have a situation. Go upstairs for backup.

Get ready to bust the three men!

Go up and bust them!

A late night, Mr Chan? Bye!

What happened?

Sorry, Mr Low.

I was walking my beat and

saw your lights still on.

Still working?

I forgot something. I'm going now.

Are you new? Never saw you before.

I'm a sub tonight.

How you know my last name?

I read it on the tabloids that...

you shagged an actress in Thailand.

You should never trust the tabloids.

But you look better in real life.

I'm sorry.

Got it.

Lobby or parking lot?

Lobby.

How could you be so careless and

let someone go up?

I checked upstairs and downstairs

but didn't find anything.

Work with someone and be smart.

Yes, sir.

OK, listen up.

These are E&T's major shareholders:

Raymend Tsui, Kenny Fai,

Ringo Low.

They're suspected for insider trading...

and fraudulent transactions.

We shall be watching them 24hrs.

From this moment on, note down...

everyone they meet

and everything they say and do.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir!

Inspector Wong.

I just found this. See if it's useful.

Thanks, Kelvin.

Electronic surveillance

for this operation...

will be handled by us from Intel.

Johnny, have you tested the equipment?

OK, let's start.

It's all quiet. How do we test?

Channel One OK.

Channel Two OK.

Channel Three OK.

Channel Four OK.

Channel Five OK.

Channel Six OK.

Channel Seven OK.

All channels OK.

Who's gonna turn off the machine?

The machine has a sleep button.

It's on sleeping mode now.

Kelvin, did you get anything?

We'll be counting on

Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Don't say that.

Once this is over, buy us a dinner!

That's cool. Bring your wife.

Sure!

I'll go back to the Headquarters first.

OK!

Here's the roster.

Day shift:
Uncle Paul, Squirrel, me.

Yes, sir.

Night shift:
Johnny, Gene, Max.

Are you kidding? Night shift again?

You want me to swap with you?

No. Gene, Max and I are one team.

Yes, sir.

Any more problems?

That's fine. That's fine.

What kind of attitude is that?

Talk to me if you have problems!

It's OK...come!

That's way out of line!

Thanks for helping out earlier.

I'm not joking.

We've been partners for long.

You know me well.

According to Commercial Crime Bureau,

the night shift is more

likely to hit the jackpot.

I was asked to get someone fit.

That's how this roster came about.

You know how Gene is.

I know. He busted the no. 1 suspect!

So what? The statement he took was all crap.

We couldn't put the guy away...

and we're given sh*t the whole year!

It almost split our friendship.

Don't just take him under your wing.

Watch over Max.

At least he's educated and polite.

He could become our boss some day.

I can handle them.

But what about those dudes in

Commercial Crime Bureau?

They're used to commercial criminals,

fine with office jobs,

not field work.

Like they let Low go upstairs today.

I'll report them and kick their asses.

Don't do that!

Just bring extra hands next time.

I even wanna beat the sh*t out of them!

You're always so nice and easy!

Always with a smile. What's so funny?

It makes me mad just looking at you!

Why so cranky?

Maybe I really need to change.

Mandy says...

my temper is getting worse.

Are you guys OK?

We're fine.

We'll see our son in the UK next month.

What you think you're doing?

Don't you know it's no smoking here?

Anti-Smoking Unit will give us sh*t.

Put down your cigarette.

Sh*t! Are we in the Opium War?

I asked you to put down your cig!

Sorry, sir. He...will quit!

Night pee! I'll smoke in the can.

Do you have a light?

Not this one.

That one. The one you took from the office.

Don't have the guts to own up to it?

Low's lighter is bugged.

I wanna check what channel it's using.

and see who's behind it.

Right. We can also check

his transceiver station.

And see who's behind it.

You can check its receiving channels...

By the time you get your findings,

the judge has passed his sentence.

You think I'll stab Johnny in the back?

We've gone back many years.

He's my blood brother.

You know how often he saved me?

Sorry.

That's OK.

You know you're always short of cash.

I'm not so petty.

I need at least $1 M!

So cheap! You'll sell yourself for $1 M?

Of course, I'm not as loaded as you!

Let me have a look.

Wow, good stuff! How much is it?

A gift from Jenny?

Her dad gave it to me for the wedding.

Congrats!

Congrats?

I'll have to golf Three times

a week from now on!

Well, everything has a price.

We call that "marrying into the riches"!

At least you needn't get knocked up!

For heaven's sake, stop complaining!

Cut me some slack, Gene!

Let me see.

You're such a cheapskate.

Good shot, boss!

Good shot!

You're so late, Max.

Good morning, Dad.

I rushed here after work...Sorry.

Good Morning.

Good Morning Sir.

We're fellow golfers. Call me Richard.

Your Commissioner is good

at teaching newbies.

Learn from him.

Yes, Dad.

I'm on it.

You're here to golf, not to work!

Don't let yourself be ordered around.

People who golf here should know

how to give orders when they can.

Mom, Baby Bro's nose is bleeding!

Don't be afraid...Take it easy...

Let Mom sing you a song...

Little clouds are drifting in the wind...

Come, come, come...

It will OK very soon! OK!

OK...

Come...A kiss...

Come. It's OK

Kelvin was looking for you.

"Missed Call:
Kelvin was looking for you."

Do you mind?

Not at all!

We are over!

The papers have been ready...

but he still refuses to sign them.

So why you still stay at his place?

He's given it to me and the kid!

He's already moved out!

If you like, you can move in with me.

Kelvin is my pal!

You weren't pals when he's with me.

Now we're separated...and he's a pal?

He's been mum about your separation.

He still has fantasy about you!

I don't wanna know anything about him!

This separation is such a pain.

He took months to move his things out.

He calls me every day.

Says he wanna see our son in the UK.

I wanna be clear with him,

but he says he's busy or just ignores me.

I know it's hard for you too,

but I've already done by best.

Sorry!

Don't be mad, OK?

Let's not talk about him, or we'll bicker.

What are you doodling?

These small stocks...

are rising today.

How profitable is such trading?

Twenty cents for each dollar.

Sh*t, that's not a lot.

We hear that our guys just bought

$50M worth of shares!

These E&T guys are big sharks.

$10M is not worth their trouble.

Some big sh*t is gonna hit the fan.

These asses pocket $10M just like this.

We work like sh*t for $20K a month!

I swear I'll lock them all up.

Just put it on the desk over there.

Please come here for your payment.

Hey! What's Johnny doing there?

Checking the machines.

Like what?

In general,

remote bugs give out electric noise.

Electric noise is a measurable

electric signal.

But our machines have

anti-interference units.

Even if they have bug detectors,

they won't find ours.

But anti-interference units

also give out mixed signals.
