Guess what my wife told me just now

She cried so hard when you stood her up

I...

What's the problem?

Once we're in-laws.

You can still call me big brother

Just the same!

She once asked me what my line of work was

I couldn't answer

What could I say?

Drugs?

When do I pay for the merchandise?

No rush. Make yourself some money first

Bye

- I'll go up with you - I'll be fine

Bye

What are you doing?

Feeding pigeons

Aren't you afraid of avian flu?

No! Are you?

Quit fooling around...

Dangerous stuff...

Cut it out. Let's go!

All used notes...

...all specially marked

and undetectable

Where is this batch going?

Overseas...

Will let you know once it's done

Hey. We need picture evidence

Last night was sudden: Couldn't be helped

But I managed to visit the kitchen though

You did?!

Met the chef. He's in his 50s

He has two young sidekicks

You should hurry if you want to catch them

Do you know we've got a new boss?

I read it in the paper

I went through the operation with him

a few days ago

And we reviewed each step together

The conclusion is...

We'll be able to round up your drivers...

some of your clients...

plus the 3 cooks you've just met...

...it's only a dozen people or so

Boss said we've put in a lot of time

and money

Yet Quin's supplier is still unknown

The main point is...

Lin Quin controls more than

half of the local supply

It's a monthly turnover of at least $30M

Where does the money go?

Could Lin be backed by other people?

What does the boss want?

He wants to know

if you're OK to stay undercover further

It's 7 years now

That's why he wants your opinion

Is there anyway to nail everyone?

Lin Quin is ill

He's going to pass on

more and more duties to me

Even if there is a backer

...I'll probably never meet him

Who knows how long it will take?

It could be several years

We don't mind waiting

The Chief is impressed with your work.

You're in line for the SPC rank

I prefer cash

Me too

Oh. Congratulations!

What for?

Chief Superintendent. Ay!

But that's as high as I can go

Unless...

Unless we can nail

this entire drug supply line

It's all up to you

We must tie the whole network together.

So that we'll have solid evidence in court

And as soon as you smell

Quin plans escape route

We'll arrest him and close the case

I suppose he must have a few passports

If he ever gets to

an international airport hub...

...we'll lose him for good

I know... what's the hurry?

I have to join a soccer game

How's your girlfriend?

You two still fighting?

Aren't you getting married?

She's pregnant. Right?

- Where's the key?

- I thought you had it...

Gotta go... Call me

C'mon:
You want business or not?

I'll give you $50 more

Elaine is upstairs

She only keeps watch!

I'll fix you up with another girl!

Let me know when she's available

It's for you

Uncle... what is it?

Remember what to say?

Thank you!

Can you do any house chores?

Yes!

Go find your child a kindergarten

This is no place for a little girl

Find out what I need at home...

detergent. Toilet paper. Etc.

If you're available tonight.

Come by for dinner

I haven't cooked in a while

Okay

By the way my name is Fan

Call me Nick

How much do you want?

I want soup too

Sure...

More?

Less

Less... okay

- How's that? - That's it

Good

The price is largely

affected by the shipping cost

If the cargo is shipped C&F here.

You need to pay at least 20% more

We can cut corners by shipping ourselves.

But it's not that easy

The man holding the bag

gets the ownership and blame

If they get caught before the handover.

You don't pay

Get caught after. You pay it all

Those are the rules

Now it's ours

I thought they stop water transport

Everyone thinks so.

Which makes it the safest way

I have one!

Me too!

Hi Cal!

This is Cal. The warehouse keeper

This is Nick. He handles the drivers

Now that you've been introduced.

Try not to see each other again

Use unmarked phones

to arrange all deliveries

Is the warehouse nearby?

Mind your own business

Just tell him to collect the goods

once they arrive

Call him

when the kitchen opens for business

He'll deliver to a secure spot.

And you send a runner for pick up

It's the same way you make a delivery!

Okay

Relax. He'll be in charge soon

Mine is new to me...

Everyone has to shield off himself

Don't ask what doesn't concern you

Remember. Never take risks

The warehouse keeper. Chef and clients

should never come into contact

Only the runners get caught.

And the trail ends there

As "wholesalers".

We don't get our hands dirty

We oversee from a distance

Just like me...

If it wasn't for salvaging the "dishes"...

...I would never go near the kitchen

There is no room for error in this trade

Anyone who gets caught...

does 20 to 30 years minimum

Enough. Brother

You sofa is comfortable

Go back to sleep

I have frequent insomnia

Relax...

Promise me

Once we get married...

You have to treat me better

You can't hit me again

What does it feel like?

From head...

...to toe

Ever inch of my skin experiences a rush...

...for the longest time...

...for as long as I want

I'm asking about being high

High...

It's like all my worries disappear

I can dream... whenever I want to

It's a dream come true

But it's not a dream...

It's real... it's real!

Yes... Yes...

Yes... Yes...

Honey

Honey. What are you doing here?

I've been looking all over for you

Where's our kid?

Where is she. Honey?

Honey. Don't run away from me...

Don't... honey

Honey. Why so silly?

Why put yourself through this pain?

Honey...

I have stuff on me

Take some. You'll feel better

- C'mon. Take some... - No... No!

Take some and you'll feel better.

No... No!

Honey...

Honey... Honey... open up!

Honey. I love you very much!

Don't leave me alone...

Mom. What are you doing?

Nick

Nick...

Nick

My husband has found me

Can I stay here for a couple of days?

No!

Don't shout!

You tried to get me hooked!

What?

What did you put in the cigarette?

Nothing! Why would I...

Don't come here again

I swear I didn't do anything

I would never harm you!

Listen carefully!

It's not my business! Just go!

Please...

- Please. Listen to me...

- Go away! Go!

Please help us...

If you don't want to help me.

At least help my child!

You're scaring your child

Just go to rehab!

But they'll take my child away!

I can't live without her!

I really can't help you

Just tie me down

I can kick it in a few days

You're crazy! Go!

I can do it! I really can!

Bite me... bite me!

Harder!

Stop crying...

I've been trying...

but I just can't kick the habit!

My husband is a junkie

I urged him... to quit

He said it's impossible to quit

I tried to prove to him

that it was possible

That's how I started using

It turns out that you can't quit

If I don't leave him...

I'll never be able to quit!

Please help me!

Please. I beg you

Don't move!

Bite it!

Your mom is fine

She's alright

Let's go outside

Sit here
