You can fool all the people some of the time,
and some of the people all the time,
but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Abraham Lincoln
Cheuk Sir, I asked you here today
because I saw your psychological assessment.
Madam Cheung already showed it to me.
Is there a problem?
Yes, it says here you refused to see a psychologist. Why?
I don't think they can help me.
If you wish to come back to work,
you must pass the assessment.
But you refused to cooperate.
This report recommended that we take you off the front line,
because you're not suitable to handle a gun.
Is that what you want?
Sorry, Sir! I have decided to quit.
We already lost Lai Sir and Ching Sir.
If you quit too, CIB will fall apart.
Will you reconsider?
Everyone in CIB is a professional.
I believe in their ability.
The Force can do without anyone.
You sound like I can't convince you.
Sorry, Sir!
You're in luck you chose to drop by.
Now I have time to cook.
Try it...let me know how to improve it.
I'll try the potato.
It's very tasty.
I'm OK as a cook.
You intend to give up your gun for a spatula?
You heard?
I still have a lot to learn from you.
I'm still your Shifu even if I'm not a cop.
At least let me know why.
Knowing too much is not a good thing.
You promised to cut me in.
Are you going back on your word?
I went to the evidence room.
The blue ice we confiscated from Fook Wo are fakes.
No way! I personally checked them into the evidence room.
How can they be fakes?
The lot you confiscated was originally taken from Cheung Hing.
Fook Wo cleaned out Cheung Hing.
But they have re-stocked.
The lot they're selling has a smell.
The smell of our evidence room.
You're saying someone swapped the blue ice in the evidence room
and sold them back to Cheung Hing?
I believe so, but I have no proof.
That's why you quit so suddenly.
You want to infiltrate Cheung Hing and find the dirty cop.
It's hard to guard against an enemy in the shadows.
If I get inside Cheung Hing, I'll regain the initiative.
Why don't you apply to be a UC?
I'll only be handing my file over to the dirty cop.
That's even more dangerous.
I see. But I have always wanted to work for you in CIB.
Good! I spoke to Hui Sir
and recommended you to replace me in CIB. He's OK with it.
Are you serious?
You can turn him down if you don't want to.
Why? But if I were replace you,
the team members would inevitably compare me to you.
The target is set too high.
Are you scared?
Yes, but I won't back down.
Surpassing you has always been my goal.
Very good. You have an ambition.
I also know putting me in CIB
should be able to help you.
Make sure you call me if anything happens.
I'll call you for taste testing.
Great!
Victor, the $100M you wanted is sitting outside.
Thank you.
Mr. Ngai, the $100M cash is ready.
Put the money in the car.
OK!
Scarlett, I want you to go somewhere with me.
You didn't ask where we're going.
No need. I can smell the money.
We're meeting the Asia agent of an international money laundering organization.
His code name is Mr. White.
The $200M admission is worth it.
Your money laundering business will be in denominations of $100M per month.
Not me, it's us.
What if I object?
You have no reason to. You love money.
What if you betray me?
You're more likely to betray me.
I want to go somewhere.
Sure.
Excuse me.
Now it's perfect.
I saw something that'll look good on you.
Good match.
Me or the tie?
Both.
Thank you!
Mr. Ngai, this is...
Miss Sze is my partner.
This way.
After you.
Mr. Ngai, you'll be Mr. Black today.
OK!
Please follow me.
Have a seat, Mr. Black.
Welcome! All of you met Mr. White's approval
and have brought $200M as your admission.
Mr. White wants you to use this money in a poker game.
The first person to win $500M
will get Mr. White's recommendation.
I can give him $500M and the game is over.
Mr. White wants more than wealth, he also wants strength.
Please follow the rule.
He should have told us about it.
Leave if you're not happy.
What are we playing?
Show hand.
Jack of Spades may bet.
$500K.
A pair of Jacks may bet.
Another $500K.
A pair of Queens, Mr. Blue.
Well?
$10M.
I call and raise you $20M.
I have a pair of Queens, you have a pair of Jacks.
Is that a bluff?
Two pairs. $20M.
If you have three of a kind,
you wouldn't hold off till now.
How else can I reel you in? I call.
Please show your hand.
Two pairs.
A straight, Mr. Yellow wins.
He was waiting for a "4" when you raised the bet
There were three "45" on the table...
Let's wait and see.
Can't tell he's cheating.
The enemy diversion you are ignoring is the main attack.
Important things are always simple.
The simple things are always hard.
Excuse me, I need to step out for a minute.
My partner will play with you.
Is there a problem?
Mr. Ngai, where are you going?
I only want to ask you...where is your boss?
Bonjour, Victor. What can I do for you?
You've been monitoring the game,
You must know Mr. Yellow and the dealer are cheating.
50?
I almost forgot they work for you.
Which means the game is a trap.
It took you long enough.
But at least you caught on.
Why are you doing this?
Come and take a look.
Some people lose their cool when things got tough.
I can't trust them with my money.
I need someone rich,
who can also take a step back and see the big picture.
I came up to confront you,
have I done the right thing?
You're level headed to see through my setup.
But I stick to my principles.
The first person to win $500M will earn my recommendation.
That will not change.
I see. Nothing is fair in this world.
Few people play by the rules.
Losing is not an excuse.
You're smart.
Does that mean I can win $500M in here?
Why don't we play one hand?
I'll give you $500M if I lost.
If I win, I get your recommendation.
It's rude of me to turn down such an offer.
Let's decide on the player and the banker.
You won't have extra money for insurance.
I'll give you a break.
I'll show you my face-down card.
Ooh lala! You're not very lucky.
There's a 50% chance you'll bust if you take another card.
46% to be exact.
Shall I let you surrender?
The dealer must hit or stand on soft 17.
Too bad my hand is not 17.
You have a 70% chance of losing.
I have a 31% chance of winning.
20 with 4 cards, you'll be lucky to get a tie.
You won't fold?
The odds of losing is 92.3% Vs 7.7%.
I have close to 10% chance of winning.
Why would I fold?
Bravo! You took a fifth card and have 21.
You're very lucky indeed.
I don't think it was luck.
Then what was it?
Law of attraction. I'm playing for keeps.
Mr. White, give us a chance to work together.
You're smart indeed. Here's to us, Mr. Ngai.
King of Diamonds, Mr. Blue may bet.
$500K.
Show hand.
Whether you have an Ace or a pair of 3,
there's no reason for show hand.
The sooner she loses everything the sooner she goes home.
Or maybe I'll win everything.
The bigger the bet, the bigger the return.
Match my bet if you want to see my hand.
I was dealt an Ace and it went downhill from there.
Don't tell me you have another straight.
Sorry, gorgeous. Three Kings beat two pairs.
Hold on!
Full House.
Show hand with a "Z"?
Law of attraction.
I have a feeling I can win this hand.
Congratulations, Mr. Black. You won $500M.
You can be Mr. White's partner.
Thank you.
You must remember this
A kill is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
Cheers! Cheers!
The fundamental things apply...
Thanks for winning the game for me.
You did it yourself.
Even if I saw through the set-up,
I probably wouldn't have the nerve to bargain with Mr. White.
No, you would have done the same thing.
You and I are cut from the same cloth.
So, tell me...what's your aim?
I can answer in one word, victory.
Yeah, victory. Victory at all costs,
victory in spite of all terror,
victory however long and hard the road may be...
For without victory, there is no survival.
To Winston Churchill.
To victory.
To Victor! Cheers!
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
May I?
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glow
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
Madam Cheung! Madam Cheung!
Gather around!
Ben Sir, Inspector Chu Chi-bun will replace Cheuk Sir.
Ben Sir!
Sergeant Lam Sum-pau.
Please call me Pau.
Meet Lemon 7, Tai-yau, Dragon Ball, Donut and Garfield.
Hello, everyone.
Ben Sir may be young,
but he has cracked several major oases.
You busted Fook Wo's warehouse
and picked up over $10M worth of dope.
The credit goes to the team.
I hope you'll work well together.
The cops busted our warehouse,
the brokers are complaining.
They're more than complaining.
They said if we don't have the goods,
they'll go to someone else.
Relax! I contacted a new supplier.
The goods are coming and are better.
Just talk to the brokers.
Crap! The cops busted us,
but didn't have enough to nail us.
They're breathing down our necks,
so what if you have new supplies,
we'll just get busted again.
What do you have in mind?
Of course I have a plan.
Help yourselves.
How rich!
The counterfeit money looks real.
Where did you get it?
They're counterfeits?
How can you tell?
A few years ago, there was a stash of super $1,000 bills
with fluorescent barcodes that can get past UV lights,
but the security threads were too neatly cut.
You have done your homework.
Someone busted the warehouse and confiscated the stash.
This lot has not surfaced in a long time.
I was still a cop and I kept one case.
One case won't get us anywhere.
I wouldn't bring it up if that's all I have.
The master counterfeiter I arrested will be discharged soon.
I made arrangements for him to work with us.
We have never done counterfeit money before.
That's why we need a master counterfeiter.
We'll give him whatever tools he needs
then sit back and let the money roll in.
I don't object if we can make money.
I'll go with the flow.
What do you say, Brother Foon-hei?
What's there to think about?
Our warehouse was busted,
our boys lost their livelihood.
You expect them to starve?
Pipe down! You have done so much,
you'll have my full support.
If you set this up, I'll even light up firecrackers to celebrate.
Ngai Kam, 59 years old, one of the two master counterfeiters in Hong Kong.
He started out when he was a teenager,
and forged documents and securities.
Over the past decades, he was caught and served several jail sentences.
He was busted by CCB last time and served 7 years.
But he's coming out next week.
I heard about him too.
His work is flawless to the naked eye.
Sometimes even bank tellers can’t tell the difference.
Inmates like to brainstorm in jail about big plans when they got out.
Some would make that a reality.
Most take up their old trades again when they got out.
But his group has been busted.
Someone like him won't be out of work.
We must keep an eye on Ngai Kam.
If he's back in business,
he'll need to find tools.
Donut, I want you to follow up on that.
Yes, Sir!
Other raw materials, ink, paper, security threads
are not available just anywhere.
Garfield, go sniff around.
Yes, Sir!
Counterfeit money has a direct impact on people's livelihood.
It's a big deal to the brass.
I want you all to try a bit harder
to stay on top of things, understand?
Yes, Sir!
Come in!
Brother Foon-hei!
You wanted to see me?
Sit down. Well, how do you like working for me?
What's to like? Punks are punks.
You're right.
What do you think of me?
Very agile, reliable...I'm very pleased.
Can I report to you directly?
I'd like that. But can I trust you?
Pak-key's benefactor is my benefactor.
On that alone, I have a job for you.
Time to show me your worth.
It's him! Master Kam!
Master Kam, Firecracker sent us to pick you up.
Get ready, folks.
The big fish is leaving.
Follow him.
Ben Sir, we have three targets.
Follow them all. Don't lose any of them.
Ben Sir, we have three targets.
Follow them all. Don't lose any of them.
Stop!
What is it? I'm taking my friend to the doctor.
Do you have to chase me?
Sorry!
Chu Chi-bun? Is this yours?
Master Kam is here!
Long time no see, Master Kam!
Only because you were so promising,
or else we could have met sooner.
I'm no longer a cop.
I was young and stupid then, please forgive me.
Cross the brazier...
Master Kam, cross the brazier and chase away your bad luck.
I prepared pomelo leaves for you.
Tea, cigarettes, food...whatever you need.
Cut the small talk.
I do my job, you keep your mouth shut.
Don't interrupt my work.
No problem! Whatever brings in the money!
Look, printer, paper...whatever you need.
Do you need any help?
Him! He gave the cops the run around.
You have such a keen eye.
Lok is up and coming in Fook Wo.
I heard you were a great help.
Just doing my job.
Everyone did their part to help.
Foon-hei has nothing for you to do.
Why don't you and Tat Q help Master Kam?
Thank you.
Master Kam, I love money.
Can you teach me how to make it?
It's not that easy.
Tat Q, it takes a professional to make counterfeit money.
Or else I wouldn't need Master Kam.
Master Kam, just tell us what you need.
This is where we build our fortune.
Whatever you say.
Give me the form after you fill it out.
Miss Sze will meet with you later.
Thank you.
Didn't say how, just talk. Good luck.
Thank you.
Hello, everyone. I am Sze Ka-lei,
one of the owners of the club.
Please follow me.
Have a seat. Relax, we'll keep this casual.
Let's start with introducing yourselves.
I'm Lok Ying-tin. I enrolled in the cadet school at 18
and was a cop for over 10 years.
I was in G4
and have been a bodyguard for 8 years.
I'm an amateur boxer
and have won a boxing title.
Cheuk Hoi, I worked in different departments in the past 20 years as a cop,
and handled many different oases.
Tell us about an unforgettable case.
Here's my last question.
If there's a bomb in this room,
where do you think it is?
Here.
How did you know?
Most people would turn on the light first when they enter a room.
But you turned on the air-con first.
I think you want the air-con to cover up something.
It's just a matter of habit.
Nobody said you must turn on the light first
But you turned up the air-con all the way.
The air-con was already on when we came in,
You turned on the fan to cover up the noise.
You're attentive and sensitive enough to be a bodyguard.
You have the job.
I object. A bodyguard needs to be more than attentive.
He needs to be able to fight.
Mr. Cheuk was not a bodyguard and did not work in G4.
Why do you think he's qualified?
What do you want?
I want to try your agility. Do you mind?
No, but does Miss Sze...
I don't mind taking a better look. Go ahead.
Impressive!
You surprised me.
You defeated a boxing champ.
The key is to observe.
What did you find out?
Most boxers are concerned about their boxing technique,
and often ignore their lower body.
His lower body is obviously not steady.
I took advantage of that.
Still you must be very observant.
Scarlett, the contract is ready.
Explain it to Mr. Cheuk.
Mr. Cheuk, this is your contract.
Your main mission is to ensure Scarlett's safety.
You can go through the details later.
Thank you.
Come in. What is it?
Miss Sze, Mr. Ngai wants to know if you have hired your bodyguard.
He's well informed.
Yes, I have. This is Mr. Cheuk.
Mr. Cheuk.
Miss Sze, Mr. Ngai would like to meet Mr. Cheuk.
Is that OK?
Mr. Cheuk, my partner wants to meet you.
You have a problem with that?
No problem.
Mui, we'll sign the contract later.
Thanks.
Boss, they're here.
Mr. Ngai, I'm Cheuk Hoi.
No wonder Scarlett picked you. Good choice.
Thank you.
I told you I'd like to take a peek.
I have a task for Mr. Cheuk.
Do you mind, Scarlett?
You call the shots at the club. Why would I mind?
I take that as a yes. Bring the stuff.
Yes!
You were a cop, you should be familiar with guns.
Can you assemble one?
I'll race you, if you can keep up,
I'll give you a pass.
No problem.
Good!
Scarlett, you'll be the judge.
Have a seat!
Ready...go!
