He is connected to you. You are connected to me.

Kill him, or kill yourself.

Discussion is over.

Payne suddenly switches to Cantonese --

PAYNE:

You've been the gun in the hand of this house for a

long time. First for my father and now for me. Now

that Weng and Lim are out of the way you stand to be

the new number one. But I just be absolutely sure of

your loyalty.

SIDNEY:

I am the gun in your hand. You aim. I fire.

PAYNE:

Prove it.

Surveillance. Yes. I don't know about the wire

unless you've got evidence.

No. No evidence. Just instinct.
