Thank you

Don't be afraid. Go on.

We'll wait for you here

Nick!

Check this out!

Get a new car. Dad! Yours is outdated!

What's this? Why are you smoking?

You're disgusting!

What? At least I'm not smoking weed

Who taught you to smoke?!

Why are you hanging out with these losers?

Did you teach her to smoke?

Uncle. She's the one who taught me

I'm not your uncle!

Can' you stop nagging for once?

Let's go

Give me a break

Watch the road!

If my kidneys don't kill me she will!

Yelling wont help. Talk to her

Why smokers are so stupid?

Cigarette stinks!

It doesn't make sense

What about drugs?

Why do people... do drugs?

I don't know and I don't want to know

We're just businessmen!

It's simply market supply and demand

Smoking causes cancer

but there will always be smokers

At least I don't advertise

It's not me who got them started!

They bring it on themselves

They made their own choice!

Why? Do you know any addicts?

No... I'm just curious

Let me tell you...

Junkies can be the best actors!

When they crave a hit...

They'll do anything. Say anything!

Don't ever hang out with that bunch

Or they'll make you feel like...

you're the one causing their mishaps

They bring it on themselves

If they say no.

There is nothing we can do

- Why so worked up? - I'm not!

It's their own fault!

Do I look worked up?! Bullshit

Hello?

No. Don't... I'll find someone... Bye!

What is it?

Chef's older helper is in the hospital

Find a trustworthy runner to do

the pick-up tomorrow

Forget it. I'll do it

Alright

Let's cut it with...

...rat poison someday

...and kill those scumbags

May. Find anything?

The 9th floor looks suspicious:

The windows are covered

Maybe our purchase was too small for them

C'mon! We asked for 40 sets!

Call them again

Tell them to make the delivery now.

Or the deal is off

What a pain in the ass

We must find the warehouse today!

Ask upstairs what's going on

Not a thing

Got any sand on your sole?

I'm clean. Open up

My older helper had diarrhea.

He could barely walk

Take a seat. It's almost ready

Hurry up!

Take your time

Where's the washroom?

Something's up!

Easy. We're only taking pictures today

Something looks odd.

A strip of toilet paper

is hanging out of 8C

Keep an eye on both units!

A man in his 30s has just left Unit 8C...

...in brown shirt. Khaki pants.

And holding a brown paper bag

Chief. Isn't his bag a little small

for a delivery?

Small orders are common nowadays

That's how bootleggers takeover the market

Well?

Pull him over! It won't hurt!

Sing and Nam. Check the guy out

Customs Department!

Hey. You! Stop there!

Don't move!

What's happening?

We've got some sets of aka porno movie

Is that all?

Get him to show us the warehouse

I mean No.4 Heroin

How much stock

and how many people are there?!

Answer me!

Spit it out!

You scumbag...

Go on!

Let's see you try that again...

Don't you dare!

Stop it...

I work...

undercover for the Narcotics Bureau

Our operation has been on going for years

You'll ruin everything...

if you make a bust now

My supervisor is Miu Chi-Wah

I can give you his number...

you can ask him!

Just tell me if 8C is a lab or a depot?!

- Answer me! - Chief...

Chief...

If he can name Miu Chi-Wah.

He may be telling the truth

You believe him?

Drug dealers are the slyest!

We might tip them off by calling!

What if he's not lying?

Come to your senses!

We'll take him for a liar just the same!

Why should the Narcotics Bureau...

take all the credit anyway?

Beat him!

Break him till he talks!

Spit it out!

You heard the Chief!

Let me handle it!

Ready to talk now!

I warn you. Don't play games with me!

Help me on this once

If I made a mistake.

I'll make it up to you. Big time!

Okay?

Okay?

Okay

Okay

You forgot something?

It's a bust!

A**hole!

It's the Customs!

Come help quickly!

Open up!

Forget it! Step aside!

Step aside!

Break it down!

Break the lock!

Move!

Something's happening!

Chief. They're flushing the stuff

down the sink!

You better hurry!

Someone jumped the queue!

Call Miu now!

It won't work! Let me pry it open!

They're dumping the smack

out of the window!

Give it to me!

Hurry!

The less they find.

The shorter the sentence!

There are two more trays! Go get them!

What about... the US Dollars?

Get everything. You idiot!

Stray bullet! Take cover! Move him aside!

Stop bustle!

Calm down!

Uncle!

They'll break the door soon!

They are coming in!

Just jump!

Don't look down! Look at me!

Jump!

- Hang on... - Don't let go...

Hurry! Over here!

Don' t look down!

Don't step on my hand!

Grab my hand!

There was gunfire upstairs!

Are you okay?!

I'm okay

Did you identify yourself?

I did

But they went crazy when they saw the drugs

What happened to the one who fell?

He died

Customs agreed not to do

a composite drawing of you

You'll have to think of a story

I'm afraid Quin will be suspicious

Do some damage control for me

Sure

Let's go

See a doctor first

What a mess...

Following a tip-off. HKCED raided...

...the Chong Fei Industrial Building today

...and found No. 4 Heroin

on the 8th floor

...with an estimated street value

of HK$47M

...Hong Kong's 2nd largest

drug seizure to date

The following amateur footage shows that...

...a large quantity of drugs

thrown out a window during the raid

...attempted escape through the window

...resulting one death from falling

Sources suggest that...

...the deceased was allegedly

a Customs informant

HKCED. However. Refused to comment

See this? You've got a rat!

How can you not know?!

Who?

The one in the morgue!

Your helper!

The paper announced that

he was a customs informant!

Is that your big problem or not?

You tell me!

But they're my nephews...

So what? They couldn't sell you out?

Even brothers could kill

each other for money

You fool!

So?

If not them! It must be me then?

Am I the rat?!

Or he is?!

Or you?!

Is it you?

It can't be Nick

He saved my life

So what?

He could still be the rat for all you know?

Where is the other kid?

Can't find him

Keep looking!

He would definitely lay low

after the news all out!

I don't care!

Just find him!

I want him dead!

Brother

Look

I swear Customs got us by pure luck

It's all my fault

I couldn't take their beating

It's me who led them to the kitchen

If you still trust me...

...I have an idea

I'm listening

The problem has been too many runners

It seems safe

But they could be runners one moment.

Informers in the next!

If we don't use runners.

We have to do it ourselves!

Yes

We need no one else but the three of us

It's too risky in the long run

Long run?

How much longer do you think we have?

Everyone is using Ecstasy

and K these days

The era of...

shooting needles is over!

The heroin trade is in its twilight:

It's almost over

Why slow things down...

with runners?

We can combine the depot and kitchen...

...and speed the process up

Make our money faster!

My goal is to score $30M and quit
