3 is Chuck.

...and 4 is Paul.

If the audio isn't clear...

...you can activate their phones.

She says white flowers are for graves.

Need anything else, Mr Luk?

I love you.

He's still chasing p*ssy.

He doesn't have to chase.

That p*ssy's already his.

Look!

L booked a room at the Gold Coast tonight.

Go there after work.

Take a long bath and wait for me.

Sure thing.

How did you end up in jail?

What were you in for?

...illegal use of a computer.

They should've kept you locked up.

Who uses a computer legally nowadays?

There aren't enough prison cells.

What else have you done...

...since you got out?

Ms Luk asked me...

...to spy on a stockbroker.

The guy was selling NT Land's

I PO documents to Keung.

Then I heard that the broker

was involved in insider trading.

It was all about getting

his son into a good school.

Miss Luk leaked it to a newspaper.

They strung out the revelations...

...over a 20-part report.

He got daily visits from the cops.

His license was revoked.

He couldn't stand it and

jumped off a building.

Hand me the remote.

This is the database.

You have access to 500 hours of recording.

We'd be dragged down with him!

How about this?

What if we turn Jau over to the cops?

We could do that!

What the f*** are you saying?

Jau is our brother!

Remember that!

I'm just kidding.

Don't take it so seriously!

No family conflicts.

Remember that, Paul!

If it wasn't for Jau...

...that dog would've bitten off...

...your dick...

when you were 7

So he can have my dick in return!

We've both been in jail.

We know how bad people can be.

Ms Luk is no exception.

I know

I say this because I respect you a lot.

A woman is either a blessing...

...or a curse.

I said...

I know!

Good.

Go on.

This phone is? Linked with...

...the control program.

You can watch from anywhere.

This is for you.

Remember to set a password.

And...

...this is a counter-surveillance alarm.

If there's a surveillance device...

...anywhere within 10 metres...

...this thing will vibrate.

They all carry one.

An expert may be working for them.

What are you up to, Fu?

You call this controlled?

It's under control, Wan.

You called the cops.

I didn't call the cops.

The delivery men just played it by the book.

In legal terms...

Uncle Nine's great-great-grandfather

really did buy that road.

Fu!

OK:

I'll talk to Uncle Nine for you.

...huh?

Can you make your call outside?

Hello, Uncle Nine?

It's Fu... Can you hear me?

Don't curse my mother...

...she's your sister!

Listen, pull the villagers out.

We can talk it through man-to-man.

How long would you last...

when the cops turn rough.

What?

You'll bring a chopper?

Uncle Nine.

That's not Uncle Nine on the phone.

Can you see who he's talking to?

We can use GPS to triangulate the position.

It's someone at the village entrance.

We can use the village office's

surveillance system.

You can see the village entrance from it.

It's him!

Uncle Nine!

What?

Go to hell.

Hey! Get away!

Oh, goodness!

That's our sh*t!

Moon, this way!

It's a mess!

Uncle Nine fights with the truckers!

Can we access his computer screen?

He's also watching the live feed.

Don't move it!

I didn't.

His computer controls the camera.

We can see when he's moving it.

And he can see when we're moving it.

Chuck.

See if someone touched the

camera at the village.

Let me have a check.

Let go!

Hey.

Hello?

No, It's fine...

...it's only my sons playing.

It's alright.

Alright, that's it.

The NT had always been peaceful...

...till you started building high-rise.

Digging everywhere...

...filling in ponds...

...ruining the feng shui!

We swallowed our anger.

But now you beat people up!

You know what?

More than fifty men in hospital!

And they have families!

You're destroying families!

What's the price for that?

I do unto others...

...as they do unto me.

From now on, if those contractors...

...set foot in our village again...

I'll teach them a lesson!

You can call the cops!

See what'll happen to your high-rises.

Uncle Nine...

we need to resolve this quickly.

We've signed a contract with those people?

Out!

Uncle Nine...

what do I tell my father?

So you realize you have

to answer to your father?

Get him back here!

You shouldn't even talk to me!

You're only a woman.

You can't even enter the Ancestral Hall.

Don't talk to me.

Let's go!

Uncle Nine!

On with the meeting.

I have a solution.

Let's cancel the contract with

the building material suppliers.

We'll reassign the work...

...to the villagers.

A smile means you agree, right?

OK:

U've invested $2 billion in the company.

You can't just walk out!

We're still talking.

It's a meeting...

...do you understand?

Come on, sit down.

Sit down!

Fine, let's have a meeting.

The contract...

...can be changed...

...it can be cancelled too.

But the penalty will be $500 million.

Who will pay?

You or me?

We'll revise the contract.

We'll still buy the materials.

But we'll make Uncle Nine and

the villagers as subcontractors.

The supplier is a listed company!

You can't change the terms as you like.

How overbearing!

You're overbearing as you want to

put the NT on the stock market!

Keung...

...dad wants a word.

Uncle To.

Keung.

I'm in Huangshan.

Back in two days, let's talk then.

Good!

Activate his phone.

This is the front camera.

This is the back camera.

Can I access his screen?

Sure!

They say Uncle Nine was beaten up hard.

He made so much money.

He should bear it!

How can you say that?

We're from the same village!

Same village, my ass!

They won't share a cent with me.

We all know he's an a**hole.

But if they didn't build the high-rises...

we'd all be broke.

Moon...

...the check!

US$46

Here's $50, keep the change.

Thanks, Hung!

Hung...

...any work for me today?

I got something for you.

We'll pave a road this afternoon.

We need 4 people for traffic control.

You want to do it?

Sure.

Thanks Hung!

I need to sh*t.

Be ready at the top of the hour.

Don't be late!

Sure.

- Check!

- Thanks!

Who ordered BBQ pork rice?

Who ordered...

Hey!

Who do you work for?

Those damn telecom companies...

...no one answer the hotline.

When they do, they just say "reset"

Then they charge a fortune for house calls.

Fiddle things around a

bit and say it's fixed.

Same old sh*t every time.

Yay! It's fixed!

See? I told you!

Hey!

Go clean up outside.

Then you can play your games.

OK:

This kid of mine...

...all he does is playing games.

Spends all day on the computer...

...playing his games.

Where's the future in that?

This thing is all rusted.

How come?

Must be crappy quality.

When they made this...

...they wouldn't expect...

...buckets of water in the house!

Don't mock me!

This is how I make a living!

What exactly do you do?

Lots of things...

...errands at the building site...

...takeout lunches...

...laundry.

I even rent out my land for farming.

I sell tofu, soya milk and corn juice.
