...don't pay for me anymore.

I didn't pay...

...the principal wouldn't take my money.

Boarding costs money too.

You'd rather not be reliant...

...but I love helping people.

You must know how I feel about you...

...right?

I know you're good to me.

You take care of me and my son.

But I still remember...

...how my husband died.

I have nothing to do with Jau killing Yuen!

Ignore all that crazy gossip!

I know it wasn't you...

...but I only love Yuen.

So I'm waiting!

No need!

I wanna wait, that's my business.

Time to eat, Sunny!

Jau's back.

I saw him with Uncle Keung.

Why didn't you tell me?

Jau has served his time...

...repaid all his debts.

Forget it.

How can I?

My husband should be the one sitting there.

Yuen trusted me.

I told him I'd jump ship with him.

He was waiting for me that night...

...not knowing I drove there to kill him.

Get jilted?

Uncle To asks you to kick me out?

Nope.

I'm hungry.

Late-night snack.

Come on!

Where are we going?

Macau...

...to a great crab congee place.

It's a VIP flight.

Get in!

You're out so late.

Well...

...it's my night shift.

I happened to pass by...

...so I'd thought I'd buy some...

Good.

My car's broken again.

Oh.

Since my hubby died...

...this car's had a grudge against me.

It's not grudge...

...the car's just gotten old.

It's only 6 years old.

When my husband was alive...

...he kept his car going for 10 years.

He hated wasting...

...so he was always fixing things.

Thanks.

Take a seat.

Come on.

Have a beer.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

You've done so much for me.

I should buy you dinner.

Fine.

BBQ pork rice.

No way.

It should be something nicer.

Call me when you're free.

OK:

You remember my number?

I do.

You really do remember it!

It's easy, it sounds like...

"Be there or be square" in Chinese.

Mom.

Mom! Auntie Gil is in trouble!

I refuse to sell you my land.

Now you dump debris on it.

You want to ruin my land?

You people are shameless!

Uncle Nine, how could you?

How could I?

I'm standing on Keung's land.

I can do what I like here.

Wait!

I'll call him.

Ignore her.

Keep dumping!

You've gone too far!

Auntie Gil's old...

...you want to give her a heart attack?

She's one of us!

Beat it!

He's only got a few guys!

There are more of us.

Let's fight him!

You 2 a**holes, don't you wanna work?

You wanna starve?

Calm down.

More of you?

Don't like it?

Come on, hit me!

F***ing useless!

Keep going!

Stop dumping!

Boss! Are you OK?

Well, well, well...

...you're screwed, kid.

What are you doing?

Wanna fight me?

Get me right here!

Come on!

Right on the artery!

Come on!

The aorta!

Where's your aorta?

Is that your aorta?

Is that it?

Come on!

Come get some!

Get up!

Hit me if you've got the balls!

Stop!

I said, stop it!

Let's go.

Uncle To!

Wait.

I'll fetch it for you.

Dad...

why are you up so late?

Today, I had my lawyer establish a trust.

I put all my NT land shares...

...into it.

No more IPO!

Uncle To...

...the Commission is about

to approve the IPO

We can't stop just because you say so.

The Commission won't approve...

...as I won't exchange land

with the tycoons.

The land is held by the company.

The exchange...

...is up to the board.

Right.

The land does indeed belong to the company.

But here in the NT...

...the top guy has final say on land trade.

Now in the NT...

...that top guy is me!

As for the board...

...the majority shareholder...

...also happens to be me.

Dad...

...our shares together...

...outnumber yours.

You ungrateful brat...

what are you saying?

Together, we got more shares...

...than you.

OK:

I'm the one...

who ordered Yuen's assassination.

I'll turn myself in tomorrow!

Every dirty secret this company has...

I'll spill them all out!

Let me do it.

What are you doing?

Are you nuts?

Get out of the way!

Don't.

Step aside.

No, please.

What are you doing? This is murder!

Dad won't last long anyway...

...he's only got two months left.

I beg you!

I thought...

I could turn over a new leaf...

with you in Hong Kong.

It turns out I can't.

I'm sorry.

It's daylight already...

what happened to that snack?

This car will take you to a hotel.

Take this to room 12049

Someone will come pick it up.

Afterwards... Get back in the car.

Keung asked Yu for $50 million...

...to bribe officials.

We've been watching Keung for years...

...not knowing who's in touch with him.

Who's that?

Mark, the government official...

...in charge of the N He grants permission for

the Ding high-rises.

From now on, you'll liaise with him.

He'll never call you...

...or meet you for coffee.

Any transaction would...

...take place outside HK

He's got many officials...

...to help us.

If this goes belly-up...

...heads will roll.

The Ding Grants...

...the land...

...the officials...

we have it all wrapped up.

The future's bright for Four Aces!

We'll be a match for NT Land now

A match?

We'll hammer them!

Cheers!

Mark will contact you...

...in the game.

Call me when he contacts you.

I've got it.

What's going on?

Huh?

Sunny!

We're moving out.

A woman and kid alone, where will you go?

She won't wait around...

...for your men to come for revenge.

That's crazy...

...no one will do that while I'm here.

Moon.

Ignore him!

It's not up to you!

No...

...it's up to me.

You can't just go.

Keung's looked after you two...

...for years.

He's spent lots of money.

You did give me money...

...but I haven't spent a cent.

All the rent I owe you is in there.

Count it yourself!

Count my ass!

The boy's schooling costs a fortune.

Does the tin hold that much?

Stay right there!

I'll call accountants to check.

If there's a cent missing...

...you'll be sued, b*tch!

Fine.

I'll cover for her.

Be serious, Auntie Gil.

I'll chip in too.

Me too!

Is this enough?

Here's my share!

That's for you.

Hey!

You nosy pricks!

Do we look like beggars?

He's dead?

Who's dead?

Uncle To is dead!

These animals.

Bullying people everywhere.

They'll get their due!

When did Uncle To die?

We don't know exactly.

He was like this when we came home.

Actually?...

Uncle To's health was failing.

He didn't want people to know

That's great!

Those 2 are the last ones standing!

Get them while they're down!

Good timing!

Don't be so sad.

Nanny.

What's the emergency?

Tell me...

...how did Uncle To die?

His diabetes acted up...

...and he didn't get his shot in time.

That brought on a heart attack.

I found the official that Keung bribed.

I'll deal with him.

From now on...

...you stay out of this.

Sorry, I lied.

When Dad's illness acted up...

I didn't give him the shot.

You won't see me again...

when this is over.

He killed our baby.

You should go...

...take care!

You too.

Joe, pack up!

Action tomorrow!

OK:

Find the home you dreamed of...

...in Four Aces City.

Four Aces Corporation.

...the NT people's real estate group.

What is that Four Aces sh*t?
