Sit down, boy. It's dangerous.

Be a good boy and sit down.

It's the difference between live and death.

Stop shouting. Be good.

Hello?

Hello, Gene.

Hello...Hello...Hello...

Gene...

Gene!

If you can maintain

a good level of communication,

then in times of trouble, when your

partner reaches out his hand for help,

the hand of integrity

and honesty will be there.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Gene!

In a rush to flee?

So you're the one who dated my wife!

And you're pulling a gun at me?

No, Kelvin. We have something to do.

Kelvin, I'm the one to blame!

Mandy, get back to the car first.

You invited me to a drink.

So it's really a wedding banquet?

It has nothing to do with Johnny.

Hey!

You all right? Don't be scared.

Don't be scared. We go to the hospital.

Sir, you cannot go in.

I'm a cop.

Even cops cannot go in.

Johnny, I need to ask you about E&T.

Gene just had a car accident.

We've nabbed the dumb truck driver.

His rap sheet is thicker than a bible.

He's obviously paid off.

Half an hour ago...

Excuse me...

We found Max's car 30 minutes ago.

But we still cannot locate Max.

Why you still refuse to spill the beans?

You can't defeat the "Boss".

If you don't cooperate with me,

Max might be thrown off some building.

What did you hear in the operation?

You and Kelvin opened fire.

That's serious sh*t.

You can't possibly deal with

Violent Crime Unit!

You help me and I'll help you.

Spit it all out and I'll back you up.

Did you hear what I said?

Johnny!

This is your last chance.

What happened during your operation?

Kelvin was the mastermind.

They've hit the wrong target.

Tsui from Violent Crime Unit

will be taking statements.

I know about your fling with his girlfriend.

If you lay me off, I'll help you.

I won't tell Inspector Tsui.

All the secrets are at 902.

We need to find it before the "Boss".

"One Year Later"

So, it gives me great...

Ladies and Gentlemen it gives me great...

it is my greatest honor to be here

with you today...

for the Yan Hau Tong charity event,

I would say,

today is my greatest honor to be here...

the Yan Hau Tong Charity raises over

fifty six million one hundred and

eighth-seven thousand.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I thank you once again,

on behalf of the Yan Hau Tong Charity,

it is our greatest honor and duty,

to have been with you this year,

to succeed in such a worthy cause,

thank you very much.

I'll have US$60M coming in from

South America on the 25th.

Conjure up some joint acquisition...

using E&T, LKC and a casino stock.

Give some stocks to the brokers meanwhile,

to drive down the stock price.

Why that face? Don't wanna do it?

A shareholder of LKC had problems

with the accounts.

He wants to find a new accountant

to tally the numbers again.

So what does that mean?

You gonna do it or not?

Buy a ticket and fly to South America...

to talk to the drug lords there.

Why don't we take him out?

Are you out of your mind?

He wanna check your accounts and

you want him killed.

You think I'm a natural born killer?

Can you try to negotiate with him?

It's money talk. Anything goes!

If that doesn't work...

Call Prankster to scare him out!

We already did that, Boss.

He's not afraid of Prankster?

Talk to him one more time.

If that doesn't work, whack him.

Don't use your own phone

in the coming weeks.

Give them some clean phones.

Robert is here, Boss.

Robert, what a pleasure!

I wouldn't dare to miss

any gatherings organized by Mr Ma.

I'm being paid to keep an eye on you!

This is...

Let me introduce you.

Mr. KC Ng,

Commissioner-Elect of

Independent Commission Against Corruption!

He's a golf expert. Single handicap.

I heard Mr Ng has hit 80.

Please come by my club some time

and demonstrate to us.

Sure. But it's your turn to demonstrate now.

Good. Let's take a photo together.

Everyone, look at the middle.

May I call upon the Chairman of

Yan Hau Tong Charity Foundation...

and Chairman of WYC, Mr Willie Ma.

Thank you.

Today, my driver asked me...

he asked...

"I've bought two lots of WYC shares.

Should I sell them now?"

I told him...

"Our company's worth $1.56 billion.

Last year we earned $0. 1 billion...

with 57 cents interest.

It's better than bank deposits.

Should be worth holding

for a few more months."

You know what he told me? "Boss...

Half of the time this year,

I haven't driven you to the office.

You know what's happening there?"

I was flabbergasted.

Didn't know what to say.

Before I could open my mouth,

he picked up his phone...

and called his broker,

selling his stocks in my very face!

And for a pretty good price!

I was tempted to sell some too.

In future, if you have any questions...

regarding the stock of WYC,

please call my driver, Shing!

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

My driver is right, it's for real.

For the last six months,

I've left all my business behind.

Because I've had more meaningful things

to look after.

Between 2007 & 2008,

Yan Hau Tong Charity fund...

has raised 51,867,053 dollars.

Thank you.

I honor the hard work and dedication of

Yan Hau Tong's staff...

and board of directors for

their achievement.

All the money that has been raised...

Sorry, excuse me...

The funds that was raised had

all come from...

I'll have US$60M coming in from

South America on the 25th.

Conjure up some joint acquisition...

using E&T, LKC and a casino stock.

Give some stocks to the brokers meanwhile,

to drive down the stock price.

Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Hey, hey turn off the video!

Hello, hey turn the mic!

A shareholder of LKC had problems

with the accounts.

He wants to find a new accountant

to tally the numbers again.

Hey you over the booth,

turn the f***ing thing off!

Turn off the video!

Buy a ticket and fly to South America...

to talk to the drug lords there.

Why don't we take him out?

What are you...doing?

I'm setting up the machine.

No need to kill my whole family, huh?

You a**hole! You're not dead?

You're quite funny the way you speak.

Specious reasoning.

Aren't you confused yourself?

No idea what you're talking about.

Webber!

Where are you?

I paid him off. He is going to emigrate.

Spare my life...

I'll give you all my 1

You'll never earn that much money

and falsification of accounts...

And several cases of homicide and

money laundering.
