Incense at Earth God's altar

means I'm here

Let's talk money

You've heard of Barbarian?

Yes

Tai Ping wants you to drive

Tell me if he wants to work with Barbarian

Your monthly pay is $20,000

with rewards when on a case

How can I repay my debt with $20,000?

You'd get a raise...

if you arrested Barbarian

I don't decide your pay

How much for finding firearms,

breaking up a gambling outfit,

arresting a gambler,

All these have guidelines

Every penny I give you and you get from me

are documented by signed reports

All costs are recorded, all prices set

But if you get on a case

and are at a crucial stage

we can talk about rewards

Once you've signed

you'll be an official police informant

Call me as soon as they put you to work

I will give you guidelines

Stay away from fights

My immediate superior also

knows about your identity

In case anything happens to me

he can vouch for you

The Department of Justice

will hold this letter, which will

prove your participation is to help the police

Sit inside

Our driver, Ghost, Jr.

Fairing, Blast, Zipper

You sure can eat

Crap! You're too slow

You Mother! How can you say that?

Bastard! Don't say "mother"

"Mother", "mother"...

No fighting during meals

Dee

Barbarian

Come, Tai Ping

It's our first job, so here are the terms

You three carry guns, and get $3.5 million each

Is that okay?

Yes, $3.5 million is good

Thank you, Barbarian

It's fine with me

Okay

Ghost, Jr. drives, and gets $1 million

Tai Ping and I are known faces

We will stay hidden until it is time

Dee will contact you meanwhile

Dee's words are my words

Dee

Drink to everyone

What's wrong?

I can't drink

I'm pregnant

Congratulations, Barbarian!

Congratulations, Barbarian!

- Congratulations!

- Congratulations!

Congratulations!

How many people were there?

and Barbarian's girl

This nose, these eyes, this mouth

Are you sure?

You seem so sloppy

He looks sloppy; don't look at me

Go ask his mother

And the girl?

She must look less sloppy, right?

Did they say when they would call you?

Barbarian said, to avoid you,

his girl will contact us

Find a way to copy her phonebook for me

Change into these

"Now is not the time, get an abortion"

The number you have dialed cannot be reached

What are you shopping for?

A ring

Here are our latest diamond rings

Looking for a wedding ring?

No

Let me see this

Remember it

Next time you come, take it for me

Merry Christmas

Let's take a picture

Come, take a picture

Come on, come on

Take a picture h ere

Say ch eese

Beer

I th ou ght you can 't drink

- Two dozen!

- Coming!

Why were the police chasing you?

I can 't remember

They always chase me

Why were the gangsters chasing you?

I stabbed a gang leader...

...three times

If not for you

I would have died that night

If not for you, I'd be arrested

Why did you come to Hong Kong?

It hurts most...

...to be betrayed by...?

Friends

Family

We were poor

Everything my siblings and I had...

...I won on the gambling tables

I couldn't lose

If I did, we'd go hungry

For $400,000, Mother sold me to...

...a gang leader in Hong Kong

The night I met you...

...I stabbed him 3 times

Barbarian rescued me, and said...

...he would always take care of me

I thought he meant it

The data on her SlM card

You said there's a reward

We've even scouted locations; how much?

When we make an arrest, you'll get a bonus

How much?

I'll talk to my superiors

I want $1 million

You can't get it, I quit

You're in place; Barbarian won't let you go

You mean you can't get it

I'll talk to another officer

We signed the agreement; no one else can use you

Trust me

Trust you?

How long have I known you?

I'll trust cops when hell freezes over

Continue to help me

Or go with Barbarian

And I'll arrest you

Or do neither

I will capture Barbarian

And you'll be running the rest of your life

Sir, We've tracked Barbarian's phone

He's on Nathan Rd,

near Nanking and Cheong Lok Streets

Status of the signal?

Target has disconnected

Signal has stayed in one position

and hasn't moved in an hour

Tracking Team, target is extremely dangerous

...and may be armed

Tell me when you locate him;

let Hit Team take over

Wai, drive

Speak

Sir, target is active

Now turning to receiving station on Nathan,

Parkes and Nanking Streets

Okay

Attention, target is walking

Go to Nathan Rd, Parkes an d Nankin g Streets, n ow

Wai, let me off up ah ead

Attention, I h ave visu al contact

Glasses an d a moustache

Wearing brown jacket, black pants

Target returning to roost, Ku, take the boys in

Tracking Team, guard all entrances and exits

This is Ku, my cover is blown

Target is at Yaumatei Car Park

Everyone hold, do not enter

Guard all entrances and exits

Auto Team, to Yaumatei Car Park now

Don't worry, I won't hurt you

Sir, the signal is still in the car park

Tai Ping, cops were tailing me

Check on our new boys

Your turn

I'm just the driver

You'll be rich after this. Any plans?

Let my sister live well

What a good brother

You?

Do something to make myself happy

We'll always have sad times...

What do you mean?

Who do we miss the most?

It will be Christmas soon

That's when we think of people

most important to us

Have you gotten him a gift?

Now, I will give a gift to you all

I haven't received a gift in a long time

I'm numb about festivals

Long ago, my sister gave me some gifts

Then she stopped

Now that you'll be rich

Get her something nice

Girls like to receive gifts

She will be happy

Sir, license and registration

Please turn off the engine

Sir, please cooperate

Turn off your engine, engage your hand brake

Engine off, handbrake on, license

What are you doing?

He bypassed the roadblock

Call for backup

Hold on!

Freeze!

Stop!

Stop!

Search over there

Have you searched there?

We've looked everywhere; nothing

There's nowhere to run here

Impossible, we saw them go there

Go back and look again

You're lucky no one got hurt in the gun run

I told you

Call me as soon as anything happens

How can I call you when I didn't know anything?

Where are the guns now?

I don't know

How many?

One AK, five pistols

Six?.

You're ex.cluded?

I told him I'm driving, not shooting

What if he makes me carry a gun?

Don't shoot it

Hello?

Ghost, Jr.

Tai Ping?

Where are you?

At home

I'm at the door, open up

It's Tai Ping

Close the door

You said you lived at the base;

whose place is this?

My grandmother's

I found out yesterday...

she left me this place

So I'm staying here for now

Who lit the incense?

The granny next door

Friend of my grandmother

It's fresh

This one?

Yes

Granny, did you light the incense?

What is it?

What's happening?

Did you light incense next door?

My sister often lights incense for you, so what?

What is she saying?

Old people...

Don't get mad, it's all right, let's go back in

Is that all?

Yes, don't get mad...

I followed you from the MTR station
