He lost his job because of it
but he just gambled more.
When you were 2
I thought I'd bring you both with me
then make other plans,
but I didn't count on
your brother grasping my hand, crying and
refusing to let us go.
I was desperate; afraid your father
would come home.
In the end,
I carried you and left
and locked him in at home.
When I was downstairs I heard him
crying and screaming
"Mom! Don't go!"
Mom...
Don't be sad. It's in the past.
I've carried this guilt
for over twenty years.
Jon
I finally got news of them.
I was thinking of how
to get in touch with them.
But with your injury,
I was so afraid to lose...
I'll bring them back.
Okay?
The numerous crimes the Defendant
has committed over the years
indicates that...
he is a danger to society and its people.
Defendant Man Yeung,
On the charge of armed robbery of
on February 5th, 2008,
I find you guilty and sentence you
to ten years' imprisonment.
In addition, for resisting arrest
and attacking a police officer
on November 1st, 2010,
three years' imprisonment;
both sentences to be served concurrently.
Give me the keys!
Man Yeung, a 33 year old felon
charged with armed robbery
and attacking a police officer,
escaped from the court house
after his trial this afternoon
by jumping off the fourth floor.
I found the guy who betrayed you.
See?
Yeung
You know how I am...
I did it only because I had no choice.
Yeung, I know I'm not loyal...
I'll change, please give me a chance.
Just once...
Yeung, please, just one chance.
Spare me, please...
Yeung!
The disloyal can't stick around.
Where are you hiding now?
You still don't trust me after so long?
I'm a cop.
You don't trust a cop?
The pay is $200,000.
After the job, you better disappear.
If you don't...
It's not that you don't trust me,
it's me that can't trust you.
Sir, I'm a doctor
How is he?
He's having a very severe headache.
I've already given him a shot of painkillers.
May I see your medication?
Have you just had surgery?
Yes.
Doctor, what is his condition?
I think it's the air pressure
that caused his headaches.
In any case,
please lower the altitude of the aircraft
or he may fall into a coma,
which will be very dangerous.
I'll try to contact the control tower.
Feeling better?
Yes, thanks.
You shouldn't fly right after
such a major surgery.
May I know what surgery you had?
I was shot in the head.
They couldn't remove the bullet.
Don't worry, I'm a cop.
I know a very reputable neurosurgeon.
I can refer you.
Sure.
I'll meet you tomorrow.
Okay. Bye-bye.
Can you attend an appointment tomorrow?
Yes, thank you.
You're welcome.
I have a ride, may I give you a lift?
That's all right. I'll take a taxi.
Dr. Kan.
Hi.
- Stay in touch.
- See you tomorrow.
The guy at the airport looked at me just now.
Follow the white car ahead.
Pull over.
What happened?
Find a quiet place and finish him off.
Rachel...
So the guy who messed up our gig
is your former teammate Jon Man.
and now running into him like this...
What a coincidence.
Did you find out what he's here for?
Visiting family.
When will your people make a move again?
Tonight.
Stop, Man Tin!
Stand still!
You run fast for a limp.
Damn gimp, you're quite a handful.
My son always repaid my debts.
Your son is in trouble himself.
How can he help you?
Hey!
None of your business.
I'll be after you. Let's go.
Thank you.
I'm Jon Man.
Chef Man, my buddy!
Tin!
Lend me your wok. My son is back.
Yeung is here?
God dammit!
My younger son, Jon.
You have a younger son?
Help yourself. Don't be shy.
You're cooking, Grandpa?
Champ
Bring the dish to your uncle.
I have an uncle?
Just bring it over.
He's at the last table.
Okay.
Hello, Uncle.
Can you understand Mandarin?
What's your name?
Champ.
It sounds like a boy's name.
Grandpa named me.
He said it's suitable for a boy or girl.
In gambling as in life, one must always win.
Champ! Come back to eat!
Coming!
Damn!
That was like a dream.
It's been 29 years.
I didn't think I'd see you again.
I'm sure your mother doesn't feed you well.
She didn't even know how much water
to use to cook rice.
She cooks... well now.
Poor thing, she has to cook for herself.
So, how is she doing?
She has sciatica.
She can't walk well, needs a wheelchair.
That's fate.
I'm lame, she's in a wheelchair.
God damn, even as a lame
she's better off than me.
She wants to see you and brother.
So we must go? Is she the queen?
Don't talk about her, it makes me angry.
Come...
Have a drink with your old man.
Thanks.
That's a lot of money.
Grandpa put me in charge of money.
He said we'd starve if he held the cash.
Uncle, there's Grandpa's bed.
Champ
What are you doing?
They're all perfect scores.
Why are you burning them?
They're useless.
What do you mean?
Three years ago, dad promised me
if I got a 100 100%.
he'd give up being a bad guy
and come back to live with us.
I want him to come back
I did everything he asked.
I just asked him to do one thing,
but he didn't.
Champ, your dad is a bad guy?
Read this, Uncle.
"Head Culprit of Armed Robbery Escapes"
What is your name? Where do you live?
Only you live in Kowloon City?
Why didn't you bring your I.D. card?
You know what to do.
Grandpa is always like that.
Dr. Kan, Are you all right?
I'm fine, it's just a scratch.
mutated smallpox came out today.
It's confidential, so I must give it
to you in person.
This mutated strain is many times more viral
so we tried to adapt a new vaccine
from the old formula.
Progress is optimistic.
And this virus...
is definitely related to Kenner,
but I don't understand.
What?
If Kenner wanted to make a bio-weapon,
why would he make this simple virus?
I'm worried that he's making something
much more than a mutated smallpox.
LBK is a first-class pharmaceutical plant.
I negotiated a million-dollar
contract for you
but you just turned Mr. Levinson down flat.
I'm so embarrassed.
I love my current job.
You can help people in
a pharmaceutical plant.
Everyone in the world will benefit.
I don't understand how you think.
Mom, you told me all their tricks.
Not every pharmaceutical company is bad.
How much conscience can a
multi-billion dollar business have?
Forget it.
You're full of excuses.
Stop already, Mom.
What is this? Rachel!
Run!
This is what I want.
Carnot sample?
Go to ACDC tomorrow
and get it for me from the
virus sample storage.
virus samples from the lab.
Mom...
Get it, and nothing happens to your mother.
This is Rachel Kan. Please leave a message.
I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Dr. Kan, these are...
Reporters, here to interview me.
Hand over your guns, on the floor!
All set here.
Good.
Get out.
