Once piss drunk.

Twice injured.

What can I do?

Honey

I promise.

I'll spend more time at home with you.

I'll be right by your side

when you give birth to our baby.

Okay?

Now don't cry.

How dare you come see me?

Chow, no. Stop it..

You two show up here to get me killed?

You said you'd arrest them.

Are you toying with me?

Calm down.

Calm down? He shot me in the head.

That gunshot saved your life.

Anyway, I'm quitting.

You can never catch every

criminal in the world.

You should know how

my life has been in these few years

I worked my tail off just to make you,

my Inspector Ma

look good in your

promotion board interview

I spent every day either beating

someone or being beaten

I'm so sick of it

I really am.

You know my wife is giving

birth to our baby soon

I can't even spend time with her.

My dearest Tin, I beg you.

Let me live a normal life.

Let me back in the police force, please

I know..

I want you back too

I want the three of us

going to work together..

and getting promoted together.

Ending a day's work

with a round of drinks.

But we can't. The case isn't over.

Now we have to track

down Eight-faced Buddha.

The biggest drug lord in Southeast Asia.

Have you heard anything about him?

No, I've heard nothing.

Anyway, I'm quitting.

Chow.. Listen to me.

Hal Thai isn't dumb.

You've followed him

for years and now you suddenly quit?

What would he think?

If anything happens to him,

he'll label you the traitor.

You can't arrest him

and he won't let you off the hook.

You'd have nothing.

So I don't have a choice

I'm dead either way?

Why don't you kill me now?

Yes, you have a choice.

You may choose to quit.

He has a choice too.

If you quit.

I'll find a replacement.

He'll have to live like you.

Leaving family and friends behind

God knows how many years

he takes to track down Eight-faced Buddha

living miserably until

Eight-faced Buddha is under arrest.

Go ahead and find a replacement.

None of my business.

But you're a cop

it's fine that you're mad. I'm angry too.

But don't whine.

Sworn to tread the

mountain of swords, right?

With courage, overcome

a thousand barriers.

Lofty spirits and unswerving pride.

Travel back and forth between hells alone.

Still crave to visit the

tiger cave for once.

What're you laughing at?

After singing it all these years?

Too bad intoxication doesn't last forever.

Regret we haven't met any earlier.

Sworn to tread the mountain of swords, OK?

So Kin-chow.

Please don't come any more.

Don't give me false hope

and let me down again.

Let's just break up for good.

Eight-faced Buddha's original name

is Wei In-gang.

And he's three quarters Chinese.

He's the most powerful drug lord

in the Golden Triangle area

since Kuhn S's military surrender in 1996.

Although the Golden Triangle's opium

output has decreased to..

its lowest level in a hundred years,

following Absinth

Chinaware's war on drugs..

and the UN Narcotics'

replacement planting project

Buddha remains the only active warlord

in the drug trade,

with his own army and farmers.

Gentlemen,

I'm Richard Robinson from the Interpol.

And I'm in charge of arranging..

the joint operation between

Hong Kong and Thailand.

Mr. Horowitz from the Thai police

is the commanding officer

and Mr. Ma from Hong Kong..

is responsible for supplying

the inlet on the drug dealers.

Mr. Commanding officer,

I would like to request a gun.

And I want to be in charge

of the tailing operation.

The undercover is our man.

I have to make sure he's kept safe.

Mr. Ma

I hope you understand that

Hong Kong police is only responsible..

for providing inlet for

this joint operation.

This is Bangkok.

We have to lead the operation.

In terms of gun..

overseas inlet officers

cannot carry any weapon.

But rest assured, you won't need it.

We already have your under cover's details

from the Hong Kong Police.

We'll keep him safe.

We'll let you assist the operation.

And Chitchat will help you.

Good. Thank you.

Fine. Let's go.

Hey Hal Thai..

you?

Long time no see.

What takes you so long?

I thought you were drowned in the Mekong,

my friend.

Hal Thai

you lost million dollars

but you're still composed and in control.

You have my respect, man.

Don't remind me.

Now I have to run the errands myself.

By the way, this is Chow.

Hey, Chow My very good friend.

We've survived the bullets together.

Forget about the millions

you lost, my friend.

From now on, come find me in Thailand

whenever you need heroin.

Hey Bobby

I'm not buying milk formula.

Could you just take it down a notch?

Hal Thai.

This is Thailand, not Hong Kong.

Now I'm taking you

to the world's best heroin.

OK, Hal Thai.

Yeah?

As agreed, we'd pool in US$10 million each

I'm an honest guy.

When the deal is done,

I'll charge you 20% commission.

OK, whatever.

I'll give you 20.

There's no signal.

Go after them.

Go after them.

What the hell are you doing?

You can't even drive.

Stupid moron.

Go find me a car.

Sorry A car.

Sorry.. okay.

A car

I will find you right now, okay?

He takes half the money in advance?

Why didn't you tell me upfront?

If he takes my money and leave,

what can I do?

Rules are rules and can't be broken

I've been doing this with him..

and I'm sure there won't be a problem.

What? Scared?

Don't worry.

Listen.

You'd live as long as I live.

If sh*t happens, I'll take care of it. OK?

Alright. Just calm down

I understand.

No one wants accidents to happen

I will send someone over right away.

Found it yet?

No, not yet.

Send it over right away once you find it.

Hello? What's the matter?

Hi Boss.

There's an undercover policeman

among your clients from Hong Kong

I didn't have a chance

to call you until now.

I'll find out who he is and

send you his photo right away.

Holy cow. I'm so dead

I'm in the abandoned car

park meeting with them.

Send me the picture quick

I will. Bye

I know Thai too.

What are you doing?..

You work for Bobby.

He works for Bobby.

Where's Bobby?

Where is he?

I don't know.

Where's Bobby?

Where is he?

I don't know what you are talking about.

Where's Bobby?

I don't know.

Don't move.

Calm down. Easy.

Don't move.

Squat. Guns down

I said don't move.

Don't move..

Spadework.

Hi, I am the daughter of Buddha.

What did she say?

She's Eight-faced Buddha's daughter.

Spadework..

Kawasaki

I'm Mani. Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Is she really the Buddha's daughter?

She's smoking hot, man.

Looks like she has a crush on me, huh?

She's a he.

What?

Nice to meet you..

Hal Thai, he's Eight-faced

Buddha's son, Stria.

Spadework..

Have you brought the money?

Yes, boss. Come on, bring it over.

Yes, boss.

Quick.

Tell me where's Bobby

or I'll beat the sh*t out of you.

You don't want to live? Spit it out.

Push his head out of the window.

Say something, please.

Say it now.

OK, I will bring you there.

Where?..

OK..

Make a right turn in front.
