All homemade!

Do you want to buy some?

Why don't you just sell the land?

You'd make a fortune.

Land...

...is for farming...

...not for trading.

Don't you know that?

OK:

I'm off.

Hey.

Call me...

...if you need some takeout.

No takeout surcharge for you.

Shall I give you my number?

I remember it.

Bye bye.

Keung.

Are you here for the rent?

It's working now

Call our hotline if the problem comes back.

Excuse me, please.

No, I know you were...

...at the village entrance this morning.

I wanna check if you're OK

I am fine!

If you need money, ask me.

You don't have to wear yourself out.

Look, your place is like a garbage dump.

Can't even see Yuen's memorial altar.

Look at this mess.

I'll have my maid come clean this up.

Yuen.

Watch over Moon and Sunny!

Protect them from strangers

who want to bring trouble.

Take this.

I know you have backbone.

But remember...

I'll always be here for you.

Always...

Do you understand?

I know

Call me if you need anything.

Do you have my number?

It's saved in my phone.

What if you drop your phone?

Memorize it!

Remember it.

I remember.

Remember to call me.

OK:

I am leaving.

OK:

Call me!

OK:

Jau!

Hey...

Jau.

Thanks for all your hard work.

Don't mention it.

I'm just working for the company.

This is Szeto.

Jau, right?

Hello.

Hello, Szeto.

Without your telecom companies...

I couldn't have tapped Keung's lines!

No effort at all!

Jau...

...are you happy with the office?

It's nice.

Have a glass of red.

Have you brought what I need?

Data on all the officials

responsible for the Ding high-rises.

A month ago...

Keung asked Yu for $50 million?

It's for bribing government officials.

Watch him closely in these few days...

...capture the evidence.

We've been watching Keung for years...

...but we don't even know

who's in touch with him.

Keung works for our company.

If he screws up...

...it will affect all of us.

After the show the

villagers put on today...

...the business world knows that...

Keung and NT Land aren't getting along.

No one...

will suspect the company.

Wan, you put on...

...one hell of a performance.

Ha.

Szeto, You've done a lot...

...for the company.

I'm just a glorified errand boy!

Your tycoons aren't altruists.

What's in this for them?

Not much.

They just hope...

...to trade their farm lands...

...for the land you don't need.

With the high-rises and...

...the government's new development areas...

...the tycoons can't build on...

...those lands for 20 years.

It's just wasteland.

They only want a fair trade.

You'll have land to

return to the government.

And we can do business.

That's only fair!

Your friends in the Commission...

...stopped NT Land from being listed!

How is that fair?

There's always...

...some sparring in business.

The key is harmony.

That's right.

Harmony!

The IPO has to look good.

You know that we NT people...

...don't respond well to bullshit.

If you screw it up...

...you won't get an inch of land.

You're lucky, Ms Luk!

You have a fighter and a

scholar on your side!

I guarantee you that NT Land Group...

will be a blue-chip stock...

6 months after listing!

Come on!

Cheers!

Congratulations!

Cheers!

Come on!

Congratulations!

Thanks.

I've been stupid!

I didn't realize until today that...

Jau didn't kill Yuen for the money.

You said you two were fooling.

...around at that time.

I don't think that's how he saw it!

I was pregnant with his child.

But I had an abortion.

A**hole! Why'd you hit so hard?

Sorry, Uncle Nine.

I overdid it.

What did the doctor say?

Forget it, it had to look convincing.

The lawyer said...

...you'll do 2 months at most...

with a year's probation.

It's OK if I'm jailed.

I'll come visit you...

...and bring anything you'd need.

Don't be stupid!

You two aren't supposed to know each other!

You got paid...

...you've eaten...

...do you plan to move in too?

Huh?

Listen.

You and Pong are now the agents.

Take Wan's building materials and...

...switch them with Ping's

counterfeit stuff.

Flooring and windows for you...

...plumbing and electrics for Pong.

The real stuff goes to the container port,

gate 9B, warehouse 4

The buyers will be waiting.

Make the deal on the spot.

The cash goes into

the Kuen Fat and Yee Fat accounts.

Did you get all that?

Yes.

Repeat it!

Take Wan's building materials and...

...switch them with Ping's counterfeits.

Flooring and windows for me.

What's with all the people?

Signing over their Ding Grants.

How much do they get?

Around $300,000 each.

So little?

A flat will be $20,000 per sq ft!

Lots of poor folks in the N Most of those with grants...

...are poor.

They can't afford

a Ding high-rise flat Ding high-rise.

It'd be better to sell their rights.

Make some money...

...maybe gamble for more.

The really bad ones...

...end up taking drugs.

They get addicted young.

For them...

...that $300,000 is a lifeline.

That's all?

Don't complain!

You snorted a kilo in less than a month!

Dragon Boy!

What?

Well...

...sign here.

How much did you say you'd pay per grant?

US$300,000

I gave you $100,000 advance last night.

It says $600,000 here.

No way!

Look here.

I can read English, man.

You calling me a liar?

So what if you know English?

Sign it!

You can't hit me!

How dare you touch me, you little prick!

Shut the f*** up!

Calm down.

I won't sign for less than $600,000

Will you sign?

If no one's signing, then we're done.

Let's get out of here!

You know English, huh?

I speak a little English too!

A:

B:

C:

D:

E:

What's the point of knowing English...

when you're broke?

I'm in charge here!

You know English?

Anyone else knows English?

Sign it!

So life is cheap here?

Without money or power...

...life is cheap everywhere!

"Shall we have tea?"

He's messaging Paul.

"Manchester United wants Messi"

"See you at Old Trafford"

That means Fat Ford's place.

He's a drug dealer.

Paul is picking up a shipment.

Follow him.

Where were we?

You stole my potates...

when you were a kid.

My dog almost got your wee-wee.

Yup, it almost bit it off!

Let's talk about your land.

It's zoned "green belt"

You can't build on it.

It's worthless.

Then why do you want it?

Aunt Gil!

Our families are close.

That's why I managed to

get you $200 per sq ft for this land.

I'm not selling.

You want my land...

...to build luxury flats.

Selling at over $10,000 per sq ft.

With that chicken feed...

I can't even buy a 400-sq-ft flat.

Don't assume that this old hag is ignorant.

I use the internet!

I know you do.

Let me tell you the truth.

There's a lot you won't find online.

Uncle To told me to buy your land.

We know the government plans...

...to build a landfill next to it.

They want to dump trash here.

...feng shui It will destroy the village's.

That's why...

we wanna put up a temple...

...for the Goddess of Mercy.

The government won't dare...

That land will be developed...

...if he drags the Goddess into this.
