ROBBERY USING HAND GRENADES

GUN TRADES IN GUANGZHOU

GUNS SMUGGLED INTO HONG KONG

So? Is your wife worried about you?

She's used to it,

but she still secretly prays for me every time I'm on a job.

Be good to her then.

WAN LOI TEA HOUSE

- Morning! So early for dim sum? - Yes.

How many Playboys have you read?

I don't read it, except the pull-outs.

Be serious!

Chung, are the "bird men" here?

Three are, but not the "bird king."

Keep watch.

WAN LOI

Lionheart, do you copy?

Speak.

What's the situation over there?

It's serious. Something big is gonna happen.

Stay alert.

This is the real thing, not a game.

Sponge cake.

Have you thought about emigrating with your family?

Not a chance.

This is my home. I will be buried here when I die.

I can't adjust to life abroad.

Wanna have dim sum in the morning? Dream on.

- You can get dim sum abroad. - It's more proper here.

Ah-Lung, your son must be growing up.

He's seven now. I've got some photos here.

- Let me show you. - Alright.

- We've been waiting. - We were in Shenzhen.

- Really? - Sure. Take a seat.

- I've brought some good stuff. - Are they powerful?

Don't pay if they're not.

- What tea? - Pu'er.

I can't find it.

Sticky rice chicken.

One shot using those inside here will scare the cops shitless.

Are you kidding me?

It's a bargain. They're from the Liberation Army.

It can kill someone by shooting through two mailboxes.

Don't exaggerate. You need to refund if they don't.

We sell nothing but the best.

That's right.

We'll get rich together.

- This is my treat. - Boiling water!

Freeze! Police!

All of you, stay where you are!

Move away!

- Are you alright? - I'm fine, don't worry about me!

Move, you bastard!

Move!

Get down! Everyone get down!

Bloody old man!

Move away!

Get down! Get down!

Don't come in!

Are you alright?

Get out of the way!

You're really something. What a character.

You won't waste a bullet when you got a gun in hand.

You never miss.

Do you know who have you killed?

I can tell you...

We've been tailing them for a long time

and wanted them alive to obtain evidence!

Now thanks to you, we don't have a damn thing!

- What a pity. - Mr. Wu, Sir!

What a pity.

What is it?

Pity that we didn't bust the arms syndicate.

You were gentle

and loved playing music while in cadet school.

Can't believe you are so relentless.

Did I go too far?

It was them who went too far.

I lost a good partner.

There's a price to pay on all matters.

Brother Long, I...

Uncle Hoi wants to know why you betrayed him.

Brother Long, I...

I really didn't betray Uncle Hoi.

That means you did.

Do you remember how it happened?

It happened so quickly. It felt like a dream.

What is it, Raymond?

He's been dead two hours. Shot at point blank range.

Very professional.

- Found the bullet shell? - Not yet.

The deceased looks familiar.

Think I've seen him on a wanted list.

Give it to me in half an hour.

The deceased was a Malaysian Chinese

who was involved in terrorist activities.

Arms dealing around Southeast Asia and North Africa

between 1978 to 1981.

Wanted in Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.

He came to Hong Kong in 1985 and joined the Triads.

He was Uncle Hoi's deputy, dealing with arms smuggling

before being bought off by Johnny Wong.

The killer used a .32 Davis pistol made in the Philippines.

The killer's style is unique.

We've checked all the records and didn't find any leads yet.

What the hell?

Selling for HK$3,000 per square foot even in Sha Tau Kok?

How can I afford that?

If I don't buy a flat, Madam won't marry me!

I'm not given government housing because I'm single.

I'm going to sleep on the streets.

You can always stay at the YMCA.

HK$300 for one day and you get discounts for a month.

Worth considering!

I'll sleep at the Jazz Bar.

That's perfect. You can play yourself to sleep.

Shall we check out who's been sending flowers to Madam?

- It happened a few times. - Is it a crime to send flowers?

Madam, someone sent you flowers.

Thank you.

General Guan.

You escorted your sister-in-law for miles.

Madam and I are having problems lately.

Please send her back to me.

And give me a flat while you're at it, please.

Tequila.

Have you been ill?

How come so many people sent you flowers?

I might as well die from the shock.

You don't have to lose hope.

We might get back together.

I don't think so.

I felt that I was stupid and I've wasted my youth.

You like white roses?

- You didn't know? - Have you ever told me?

Oh, yes! I haven't told him either! How could he have known?

These two lines of lyrics.

He's asking if you're lonely these days

and if you need a man.

Thank you. I just want to know how to sing it.

It's not "re re."

It's "la la ti le do."

- Is that all? - Yes.

My mom made soup.

- You want some? - No.

Your underwear.

Turns out Madam likes to receive white roses.

Really?

I've just found out.

If she likes them, you should buy her some.

Let's see how she behaves.

What song is this?

I sing if I want to. So what?

"Lion near trap...

stop investigate"?

What is it, boss?

Any leads on that arms case?

Sorry, we don't have anything yet.

Keep at it.

- Big Guy! - Yes!

- Come here! - Okay.

Master, have some tea.

- What is it, Uncle Hoi? - Eat.

We've eaten a lot already!

You can't work if you don't eat!

- You say no to Uncle Hoi? - Hi, Ah-Long!

Ah-Long! You're great!

Come, have a seat.

Uncle Hoi.

Beef jerky.

You did well on that Little Mustache case.

- So-so. - Brother Long,

I hid the gun well!

Smart.

Didn't I tell him to eat more?

Uncle Hoi treats us like children.

He thinks we're hungry all the time.

Old fellows like us...

we see sentiment as the most important thing in life.

Is that good or not?

We wouldn't respect you as much otherwise.

Ah-Long, if I'm someone evil, how would you treat me?

There are worse people than you in Hong Kong.

When you're free, we should take a trip to Hawai'i.

If you like it, you can stay there.

Let go of the business in Hong Kong.

I don't want to suffer in my old age either.

But... there are still a bunch of people I'm caring for here.

I can't just leave like that.

I just want you to take it easy.

- Little Ko! - Morning.

How come there's so much food?

- Hi, Uncle Hoi. - Hi.

- You're all dressed up! - Just so-so.

You should know who's nice to you. Watch out for this guy.

I'm really sorry. I've come empty handed.

I've eaten already.

Hey, Brother Long.

What's up, Little Ko?

Johnny wants to talk to you.
