Something Good: The Mercury Factor Page #6

---

Han Shitou.

That's my son's name.

It means "little stone."

He lived with my parents

while I worked

for a multinational

here in Hong Kong.

And he...

died in my arms

from food poisoning.

An adulterated drink.

Fruit juice mixed with pesticide.

There were several cases.

You might have read about it.

It was big news for a while.

After he died, I

quit my job and...

used up all my savings,

first in a legal battle,

with the makers of that juice.

And then in the restaurant.

I can't understand why this place

is so important to me.

Why I'm so grateful to you

for what you've done.

I'm sorry.

I have not had a single day of

happiness until I met you.

I'd like to welcome you all,

to our third event of the year,

here in Hong Kong,

including all the representatives

of North and South America...

all over the globe, Europe,

the African Continent,

and of course, Asia.

After study tests of the product

which you brought

to our attention, and an evaluation

of the industrial reliability

and standards of the companies

which you represent,

the commission which I chair is

now ready to announce it's decision.

The contract for the supply of

powdered milk for

non-governmental organizations operating

on the African Continent goes to ...

the "Baby Lac Brand".

Well, you can tell your father.

He must be very happy.

- Congratulations.

- Yeah.

The worst won.

Good luck.

What else do we need?

- Madam Xiwen? I need you to come with me.

- It's OK.

- I'm sorry, I'm busy.

- It's important, you need to come now.

- Just give me a reason. Why?

- We'll explain that. Please?

- Sure.

- She'll be fine. Thank you very much

- Xiwen? - Fan. Here..

- That's OK.

Have some water, Miss Xiwen.

And start thinking clearly.

This is Mister Ni Tong.

From Beijing's Food Safety Administration.

We don't have much time,

so I'm going to get right to the point.

We know of your involvement

with Mister Matteo Mercury.

And we know that you've lied

to give him an alibi.

But that's not why you're here.

His name is not "Mercury".

And neither is he the good man

that you think he is.

He's involved in the traffic of

adulterated foods all over the world.

Like the juice that killed your son.

No.

- It's not true. - We can present

you with written and video proof.

But you're an intelligent woman.

You wouldn't be here if it weren't true.

You have two choices.

Help us incriminate him

and stop his organization,

or be considered an accomplice

and face arrest. You decide.

Do you know how many children and babies

have been effected by this business?

293,000.

How many more mothers

have to lose their children,

before somebody puts a stop to them?

293,000! Think about it!

Stop wasting time!

I can't believe it.

I can't believe it.

Hey. Come in.

Come in.

You're all wet.

What's going on? Wait.

What is it? You're wet.

Come here. Come here!

What's wrong with you?

- Ah, don't... touch me!

- Wait!

Wait! Stop it, stop.

What is it? What's wrong?

Come here.

I need you.

Stop! Stop it!

What is it?

Come here.

- Is everything OK?

- Yeah.

My phone was ringing.

I forgot to turn it off.

- Let's go to sleep.

- Yeah, I'll turn it off now.

I hope that this urgency is justified.

What I'm about to tell you

is worth every cent

you've paid me to date, Mister Lao.

I am monitoring everything.

It will be done smoothly.

This is a very delicate matter.

Understood.

- Good morning.

- Good afternoon.

You overslept.

It's past 5 pm.

What are you doing here?

I live here.

Sure, I mean ...

shouldn't you be at work?

I took the day off.

Computer, cell phone,

everything is off. I'm all yours.

Why... this surprise?

Tonight I need to be with you.

I need to be with someone I trust.

OK, so Lantau South, Hei Ling Chau

and Chan Chau.

- They're in place?

- Those are our three points.

- They're marked on the map.

- Okay. Good. That's fine.

- Hello?

- Did you downloaded the data?

Sorry, I can't make the appointment

tonight, I'm with a friend.

- Do you have it with you?

- Yes. Yes, on my phone.

- One of my men will get to you as quickly

as possible. - I'll talk to you later.

- You'll hand him the phone.

- Bye.

- I'll take care of this. - Alright,

we'll communicate by radio. - OK.

- Let me know if anything comes up.

- Got it.

Enough.

Get on with it.

I'm truly sorry that you had to

make such an important decision.

We are all expendable.

Him included.

This town...

so neat, so... so clean.

When I first came, I thought

everything was gonna be perfect.

Now I want you to know everything.

I'm not a killer.

But I am indirectly responsible

for the three deaths

the police are accusing me of

and other deaths

that I don't know about.

All my money comes from

the traffic of adulterated food.

I sell everything.

To anyone. Everywhere.

Your son died because of

people like me.

I have no words to justify

what I have done.

I can only say that I'm deeply sorry

and the disgust that I feel

for myself is due ...

to meeting you.

I'm turning my back on it all.

For you.

Hello?

Hello? I'm outside right now.

Are you listening? You need

to bring the phone to me, now.

Just don't be stupid or

you'll be in very big trouble.

Hello? Hello?

Let's get out of here. Now.

I know everything.

I have since yesterday.

I was going to collaborate with

the police and have you arrested.

Here's the data.

Do what you like with it.

Why?

Because you told me the truth.

Stop here!

They've left the taxi

and taken off on foot.

What? Don't lose them!

I'm gonna send backup. Stay with them!

Warn all units in the area.

Take a few guys with you.

Base to One, Base to One? Over.

Base to One? Over.

Why isn't he answering? What the hell's

wrong with him? Base to One! Over.

Run!

Run!

This way!

Come on!

Come on! This way!

Hi.

- We just want to look around.

- Go ahead.

Do you mean it?

- What? - Would you really

turn your back on everything?

- Yes.

- Then my answer is yes.

I want to be part of your life.

I'll give all the

information to the police.

- How?

- Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

- Then I... I go with you

- No, I have to do this.

I owe it to you. You go home.

I'll take care of this.

Matteo!

I love you.

I'll kiss you when I get back.

- Hello?

- Commissioner Xi Chan?

I'm his second in command, Zin Peng.

I'm in charge of this operation.

- I want to meet you. Wharf 86.

- Bring the phone with you.

I want the girl to be safe.

She has nothing to do with this.

Make sure you have the phone.

See you in thirty minutes.

Xiwen has nothing to do with this.

So keep her out of it.

As promised.

You hand me that phone, and the

woman goes back to her normal life.

The negotiation is not over yet.

We got visitors.

- Matteo.

- Hi, Zhao.

You had Thomas killed,

and tried to frame me.

Yes. I had Thomas killed,

and I tried to frame you.

But your beautiful girlfriend

spoiled that for me, didn't she?

I suppose money can
