You can tell who has the upper hand.

Don't bargain with me.

One life for one life

I'll count down from 3. If

you kill my daughter..

both your friends will die.

One for one

I'm not leaving.

Let the two of them go. That's it

I'm staying. They leave. I'm not choosing

I'm not.

Three.

Two

I'm not risking my life for you.

You bastard don't have family but I do

I'm going back to Hong Kong.

My father died early

and I treat you like my

blood brothers since little.

One.

He stays.

Dad, there's no bullet in the gun.

Did you know why I don't kill you?

Because living with your guilt

is so much worse than dying

I remember on my first day

of walking the beat..

Hey, Tin! You came just in time

I gave five parking tickets in a day.

Four of the cars were stolen

the remaining one was Tin's.

Chief Inspector Ma Ho-tin

you are in charge of this

operation in Thailand.

Two Hong Kong Police officers

died in the operation

while the target suspect Wei In-gang

a.k.a. Eight-faced Buddha..

is still on the run.

The Chief Executive received

a complaint from the Thai Police

saying the failure of this operation..

is solely attributed to

your wrong judgment and..

your refusal to accept

others' suggestions.

The operation has caused major loss

of lives of the Thai police force.

They vigorously denounced our negligence.

According to your deposition..

the operation was disclosed

to the suspects in prior.

Have you ever suspected someone

in your team made a mistake?

Yes.

That would be me

I take full responsibility

of the whole matter

I'm too cocky and..

I underestimated their power

I request that

the undercover officer So Kin-chow..

resume his duty as a

proper officer immediately.

He has been working as a

snitch for us over the years.

He has achieved major merits

I urge Hong Kong Police to keep our

promise by promoting him.

Dear family, friends, colleagues,

ladies and gentlemen.

Today, we mourn the loss of

our outstanding colleagues.

Wong Shun-yuk and Chung Ts-wain.

With deep sorrow and absolute respect.

They have been working in

the Narcotics Bureau of Hong Kong Police.

Striving to make Hong Kong..

a safe and just society for its citizens.

At work, Mr Wong Shun-yuk

was an experienced..

diligent, quiet officer.

At home, he was a loving father and..

husband who took good care of his family.

Mom..

Why weren't you the one who died?

Why didn't you?

Give me back my husband..

How could I live without him.

Hey auntie. This is Chow.

Wei's best friend.

Remember?

I'm Chow. Chow..

Wei sends me here.

Your son is so brilliant.

He got promoted and..

went abroad to study.

That's why he can't come and see you

it's getting cold. Put

on something warm, son.

Wei asked you not to worry about him.

If you need anything

or someone to talk to.

You can call me.

Son, I have called you.

But why didn't you answer my calls?

Mom.

Don't call me on my old number anymore

I have a new number.

Just call me on this one.

It's a new number.

I'll put it on your headboard.

Just call me if you need anything, okay?

Drugs confiscated.

No one arrested. Cartel leader kidnapped.

Inspector Ma, this is urgent.

Thanks a lot.

Chow is the star in the police force.

Last time the two speedboats at Aberdeen

carried over three million

worth of amphetamine.

At last year, in a joint

operation with Japan.

He confiscated over eighty million

worth of heroin at a container park.

Brilliant.

Come on, take a seat.

Thank you, sir.

Bounce, little bunny.

Alright.

Bounce, little bunny.

Did the teacher praise you today?

Did you miss mum?

Are you a little bunny? You are.

Don't rush it. Start with this note.

Start from here.

Nice.

This is Ms Yuan.

Ms Yuan.

Hi.

You're bringing kids over again?

Yes. I have an aunt..

whose daughter wants to

learn Chinese zither.

So I take her here for classes.

Come on in. Let's put

you in a class first.

Sui Yule, take her to

fill out the forms first.

Okay

I bought a cake for you and Soon-woo.

Soon-woo isn't in.

To be honest, you don't have to..

introduce your friends'

children to learn zither here.

She is the 12th kid you

brought in this month..

from your fourth aunt.

This coming Sunday is Soon-won's birthday

I want to have a dinner with you

and Soon-woo. Okay?

That was ages ago, Chloe.

Don't you think I'm different now?

I don't want Soon-woo to call me uncle

I really want her to call me Daddy.

Please give me another chance.

Let her call me Dad, okay.

Chow

I'm now living a stable and

happy life with just Soon-woo

I'm so content

I'm.. I'm afraid I have

to live like the old days.

So, it's best that you

stop giving me false hope.

Thanks to Buddha's help all these years

I have sources for

quality stuff like this.

You're welcome.

We got the best stuff for sure.

You being our long term costumer

I must offer you a good price.

Thanks a lot.

Who.. are you?

Boss, he sounds like asking who you are.

Dune Kuhn from Tsimshian.

Sir, ten deceased, six

Thai and four Hatemongers.

All Thais have Eight-faced

Buddha's symbol tattooed on them.

This morning at 0530, fishermen

towed fish near Lena Island and..

they came across the bodies.

The Marine retrieved two more bodies

in the waters near Di Dong Bay.

After the preliminary investigation

by CID and forensics.

The initial finding is that

they were shot to death by firearm.

We also found drug wrappers..

like this on the bodies.

Show them the stuff.

Tin, this is against the rules.. Sir..

You're putting us in a

difficult position.. Sir..

Inspector So said you

can't touch this case.

Calm down, Inspector Ma..

Chow..

Chow. Now that Buddha's son is dead.

The drug is snatched.

He won't let them rub it in his face.

He'll make the biggest fuss he can

$0?

So, he must show up and get his drug back.

And then the two gangs fight

it's Dune Kuhn from Tsimshian who did it.

Grab his sidekicks and

grill them 3 times a day.

There will be new clues for sure.

But why do you care?

You're in charge of data

processing these days.

We, the operation division..

have to do things according to the rules.

But of course, you always

did things gratuitously.

You are the team leader

of Narcotics Bureau.

If you don't catch drug

lords, what do you do?

Wandering on the street?

I can play games in my office

and it's none of your business.

You don't need to know

how I track down Buddha.

We were in Thailand 5 years ago.

Now, he's here in Hong Kong.

We must arrest him.

For god's sake! Stop saying we

I'm not really in your league.

There's no we.

Okay?

Chow.

We can.. sorry.

If the murderer is caught before

Eight-faced Buddha finds him.

We can set Buddha up and arrest him

I want to come back and help

I can do anything you want me to.

Anything.

Even just a driver.

We have to take revenge, Chow.

Revenge? How come you're so naive?

You are a police officer, not a gangster.

Anyway, I'm not placing

any trust in you whatsoever.
