- Remember don't go off by yourselves.

- Don't worry, I won't.

Hung, he's gone, come out.

What's on your mind?

I wonder if anyone changed

the data that day.

Ridiculous! I wonder who would make

such a terrible crank call.

Just wait till I find out.

- Mr. Chow, Mr. Yeung.

- You're still here at this hour?

Officers are investigating the case.

They're in Chairman Chow's room.

You stole Chow Lui's fingerprints

from the coroner's laboratory?

This will very soon prove

whether my theory is correct.

Sorry, Mr. Chow. I was

with them originally, but...

It's true! Who made the changes?

- Who was first on the scene?

- His brother, Chow Nunn.

- Who stands to gain from his death?

- Chow Nunn.

- Officers, where were you?

- We've been looking for you.

- This place is so big.

- These are the officers.

What are you looking for?

Nothing in particular.

It's standard procedure. We're done.

See them out.

It seems the policewoman

is on to something.

If she finds any evidence of

the killer, we're in deep trouble.

When the Angel finishes off

Lai Kai-joe...

...we'll send the Angel herself

to heaven.

Tell the Angel we need her

for another job.

- Come in.

- On the phone with Uncle Chan again?

- What is it?

- Business.

People with sweethearts are selfish.

Go away!

Did you find anything?

I've checked the company's

outgoing e-mail...

...and pulled all the suspicious

messages. Here, take a look.

- Wait! Find out the recipient's address.

- What?

- I can't help you.

- You're kidding.

Should we report this

to our superiors?

What kind of e-mail is that?

What does kissing ass prove?

On what basis can our superiors

take action? Intuition?

- Take me to a record store.

- Why?

Remember Security said

the communication system...

...was interrupted by a song?

And what if you find it?

I can't let any clue

related to this case slip by.

I spoke to my mother about you

on the phone yesterday.

She asked me what you do.

I couldn't answer her.

If you don't want to tell me, then don't.

It's not that I don't want to say.

My job isn't easy to understand

or accept for normal people.

This is a robbery. Don't move.

Take out your things. Hurry, quickly.

- No, don't!

- Get out!

Now you know what I do.

Wait for me.

I've studied the terrain. I've even

picked the tools for you.

This rifle is perfect.

I want to cancel that contract.

What?

I think we should call it quits.

Do I get an explanation?

He's asked me to marry him,

so I don't want to do it anymore.

You told him about us?

Congratulations.

Get some rest, I'll cancel the contract.

Then you get some rest too.

Sue?

Sue?

Sue?

Stick them up!

You frightened me!

I'm listening to my new CD.

I'm going out to dinner.

Okay. Go, before Uncle Chan

gets desperate from waiting.

Lawyer Chan, enjoy yourself tonight!

It's the boss's birthday.

I'm getting completely drunk.

It's your birthday tomorrow. I've

reserved a table for lunch at Rosario's.

I've heard they do great French food.

What is it?

What are you thinking about?

She hasn't called me all day.

It's not like her.

- Who?

- My sister.

I'll just call her.

- No answer.

- Maybe she's in the bathroom?

I'll call later.

Cheers.

Happy birthday!

Boss, how's the stock doing?

Going up. Buy from me

and you won't have a problem.

I looked into Lai's room.

Those three girls are clean.

Still no answer?

Let me see.

No wonder she's not picking up.

These?

I have something to do. I must go.

Remember our date

for lunch tomorrow.

Lynn!

Why are the lights doing that?

The light show starts at 10

and repeats on the hour.

We're the only place in Hong Kong

with this design.

Miss, do you need anything?

I'll wait to order when my friends

arrive. Please go outside...

...and close the door for me.

- Okay.

There's something wrong.

- What is it?

- I feel she's here tonight.

Boss, the policewoman from last time

is here.

In that case, we'll take care of her

at the same time.

Are your instincts right?

Will they show up?

Sh*t!

She's across the street!

Let's go check it out.

Let me do it.

We're the police. Which room

faces the Magic Ocean Disco?

Room 17, but two ladies

are already in it.

- Thank you.

- Let's go.

Don't hold the elevator for me.

Excuse me.

It's pointless for you to hold on

to him. I still have your partner.

I didn't plan to bring her with me.

They think they're better than they are.

Even if she didn't die today,

she'd be useless tomorrow.

Okay. I'll release her

and you release my man.

Careful!

Lynn! You can go now. I'm here.

Haven't you caused enough trouble?

Throw me the gun!

Siu-ma!

Sue!

Siu-ma!

Get out when we get to the road.

The people we did that last hit for

want to kill us now...

...so they set a trap for us.

Listen carefully.

He just wants to protect himself

and his money.

Just like we work as killers,

it's only for money...

...and not love or hate.

I'll kill them all tomorrow.

If you do, it will be because you want

revenge. You can't do it.

Why not?

If you were capable, you would've hit

the target with one shot...

...and you wouldn't have been found

by the police.

You'd never have gotten away

without my help.

When did you learn

to make up your own mind?

Why didn't you cancel the contract

when I told you to?

And when did you start making

all the decisions?

You said you wanted to get married

and quit.

Did I put up a fight?

You may cancel your half

of the contract.

What did you say?

I know I can't beat you in a fight.

But no one can force me to do

what I don't want to do.

I didn't force you. I only want you

to live a normal life.

Not every woman needs a man

to protect her like you do!

Is anyone there?

I just got home. Listen to this song.

Do you want to say anything?

I can sense you are not happy.

- Who says?

- Is it because of your sister?

Hello?

How did you know we had a fight?

I could tell how you were feeling,

even on the computer.

What happened?

Do you believe in reaping

what you sow?

What do you mean?

For years...

...I've had the smell of blood

on my hands.

No matter how much I wash them,

the smell won't go away...

...because the blood of my victims...

...not only stained my hands,

it also flowed into my heart.

That's why I never let Sue do a job.

I don't want her to be like me, to have

to suffer this guilt all her life.

I'll never forget it as long as I live.

My dad's invention, World

Panorama, was nearing completion.

Originally, he had planned...

...to give his invention to the police...

...but a group of ruthless

businessmen...

...murdered my parents for it first.

One of the killers rescued

my sister and me.

It was he who taught me

to fire my first shot.

I know where the Computer Angel is.

You're not with Operations. I'll forget

the Secret King case as it ended okay.

But your latest actions hospitalized

your partner.

I almost captured the Computer Angel.

How can you joke? The place
