According to analyst Mr Luk,
the true value of E&T's assets...
is only 15 cents per share.
I told you to sell.
Forget it.
Forget what? Today is Friday.
Two more days off.
We don't know when trading resumes.
We've lost our interest on the margin!
I'll take care of the $5M myself.
As for your $200K, I'll pay you back.
Why did you withdraw all our savings?
I didn't.
If you lie to me, I'll leave you.
I took the money to buy stocks.
Where's the money now?
The stock has stopped trading.
Hey! Hey!
I told you the truth.
The money is for our son's medical fees.
how you gonna take care of him?
And me?
Who's gonna take care of me?
Who will take care of me?
Johnny, I need to talk to you.
Remember my bed?
The one you bought with me?
Mandy has thrown it away.
Something's wrong with you guys?
It's my fault. I had an affair.
But I fessed up to her.
I'd let her have her way for 6 months.
At first, she seemed all right.
But she became a different person...
for the last couple of months.
I didn't wanna argue with her...
so I've moved out for two months.
Yesterday I went back for something,
and she asked the management office
to open the door.
I went in...
and I saw she'd changed the bed.
I know Mandy has a lover.
Johnny...
I want you to install cameras there.
I just wanna know how he looks like.
That's not a solution!
I'll take care of the solution myself!
Don't tell me you won't help me!
Kelvin asked me to install cameras here.
He wanna know who your lover is.
I wanted to tell him it's me.
I couldn't.
I couldn't even tell him you're my girl.
It's not your fault.
If I had come clean to him...
It's me who hasn't come clean.
You're right. I knew you first.
I fled when Kelvin tried to date you.
Now you're giving me another chance,
and I wanna flee again!
Even if I'm right, I feel I'm wrong!
I can't tell right from wrong anymore!
I don't deserve you. Let's call it quits.
Neither of you can make that decision!
You wanna install the cameras? Do it.
He wanna know who my lover is.
I'll let him!
I'm sure the man I love...
must dare to come visit me!
Did they do anything last night?
What's wrong, Wong?
I need to watch the tape last night.
OK...
Johnny, please.
Gene.
OK.
Wait for me here.
Let's go.
The party isn't over yet.
Why do we have to come back here?
To get something.
What's so important?
Can't tell you.
I'll go then.
All right!
Just between us!
Bad contact?
Yes, but we fixed it that night.
Let's go to the yacht.
Good, but let's eat something first.
Sure...
Why's there no written record?
I found it useless and had it deleted.
I told you what I wanted:
"Note down everyone they meet...
and everything they say."
Didn't you hear that?
Sorry Sir...
These guys pumped up...
E&T's price several times yesterday.
From this minute on,
pay full attention to it.
Understand?
Yes, sir!
Here's our...
preliminary report.
If you think that's not sufficient,
I can give you our annual reports
for the last 3 years.
You still haven't sent us...
your financial report this year.
- Oh, there you go.
- OK
- Leaf through it.
- Thank you.
What's with your land...
in Mongolia?
That's all the info on our partners.
That's the financial record,
and that's the prospector's prelim report
on the land.
Securities and Futures Commission's
people are leaving.
Let's go in and have a chat.
Inspector Wong.
Impossible. Too much noise.
Tune it the best you can.
Yes, sir.
Low has flipped!
We better talk to him.
He's holding the most stocks.
If he sells all of them
when the market resumes...
both you and I are dead meat!
Maybe we can buy all his shares and...
keep the price steady.
The Boss has put down so much cash.
If there's anything wrong,
Actually I talked to the Boss.
He said we couldn't keep Low.
Weber has been asked to take action.
To take him out?
If he doesn't die, we will.
I've thought it over.
We better come clean to Inspector Wong.
How?
Tell him...
we've intercepted the signal of another bug.
They'll ask how and when we did that?
And why we didn't say so earlier.
So what you wanna say?
Chief, we're not supposed to hear that.
Let's pretend we didn't hear anything.
We're talking about human life here.
If they don't die, we will!
Don't you remember you're a cop?
They're just scum!
Say it again, huh?
We are all brothers. Take it easy!
Johnny, let's forget those guys!
You know...
we can't cover this up.
We won't be twice lucky!
I've learnt how to stick to my lies.
Johnny...
Johnny...Our hands are dirty.
Johnny...
Johnny...Without the cash,
my family's doomed.
I beg you, I beg you...
I beg you...
Hey! Get up.
Get up first.
Johnny, I was wrong this morning,
Don't be mad, call me back.
I really can't afford to lose, Chief.
Please help and call me back.
We've been hell and back all these years.
Come out. Let's talk.
Chief, I've made a mistake this morning.
What we're supposed to do next,
I don't wanna lose a good brother.
He is drugged. Make him puke.
She saw my face.
Is that safe?
Only Jenny and I have the keys.
She's out of town for a week.
It's just a job I took. Don't kill me.
I have only $200K. I give it all to you.
Please let me go! Don't kill me!
Don't be scared. It'll be ok.
Bodhisattva, please protect me.
May market makers hold their stocks.
Let us sell first.
Bodhisattva, please protect me.
May market makers hold their stocks.
Let us sell first.
No need to sleep on it...
Sell the moment it resumes trading!
Of course, it costs less than ten cents.
I hear that it's $100M in debt.
Sh*t! Don't know when it'll resume trading.
Securities and Futures Commission
takes time in their investigation.
Such a hassle!
Ridiculous!
I'm getting broke because of this stock.
Look...
The market has opened.
- I told you it couldn't resume trading.
- The market has opened!
Is not useful. Still not trading!
Sh*t! Still not trading!
"Trading suspended"
Max, hey!
Trading has resumed!
Trading resumes but the price keeps falling.
Sell it!
- It will be fine...
- Sh*t!
Hello! It's gone through!
Yes, 8822. Sell...
What're you up to this time?
E&T resumed trading this morning...
of $2.75 per share.
An increase of 300%!
Securities and Futures Commission
has expressed no opinion so far...
on this irregular price movement.
E&T's spokesman emphasized...
this movement reflected the market trend
and it's all natural.
If you wanna live, leave Hong Kong.
You betrayed me?!
Did Low flee?
The cops are looking for you.
Call the lawyer Szeto.
He'll teach you what to do.
Start the car.
My son! My son!
Tell Mom Daddy's stocks gained a lot.
When I'm done with my errands,
I'll pick you guys up at Grandma's.
