The first 200 lines.
A good chance to score at 40 yards...
Major betting websites in the U.K. are closed.
Big bets are coming in... worth about $35M.
- SJM is closed - 30 yards.
- All of Asia is closed - $80M.
No more bets.
- Fix it. - Copy.
The Club lost money again on this match.
The brass takes this case very seriously
and brought in someone to help us out.
Madam Wong, Wong Man Ling.
We joined the ICAC at the same time.
She was later assigned to Corruption Prevention
and has just received her Juris Doctor degree.
She's familiar with the Jockey Club by-laws
and has given advice to the JC.
She's the expert.
Good afternoon, Madam.
Good afternoon.
Two weeks ago, we received an anonymous email
about HKJC Football trader Tang Siu Hung
for taking bribes.
The email cited
6 European matches in 2 months.
We checked those on the 9th, 14th and 28th,
and found something fishy.
The JC's handicap
betting is based on the odds
from overseas websites, especially Macau.
Tang didn't revise the odds at the crucial moment.
Within a short delay of seconds
bets of millions of dollars were placed.
As a result, the JC suffered heavy losses.
Illegal bookmaking and fixed matches are everywhere.
Every year, people in Hong Kong
lose $128 to illegal bookmaking.
In Hong Kong, apart from real estate,
illegal bookmaking is the most profitable business.
Madam Wong, let's talk about the JC.
Last year's turnover was $1708.
Betting on football and horse racing are not the same.
In horse racing, the odds are based on the pool.
Statistically, it's a sure win.
Let's stick to football.
Sorry,
I get long-winded in presentations.
It's OK, please go on.
In football, betting is skewed towards the teams.
Any surprises may lead to heavy losses.
Though players can be paid to throw a match,
let's not forget Ng Fong Wing's famous quote,
the ball is round.
Anything is possible in this world.
The logical deduction of Tang Siu Hung's action
was he took money from illegal bookmakers.
If the match goes crazy
and he doesn't fix the odds,
the bookmakers can place their bets with the JC
and loss less money.
He was paid to do nothing?
He did a lot by doing nothing.
Tammy, tell us about Tang Siu Hung.
We checked his bank account, nothing there.
He went to the U.K. when he was 14,
and worked for a local betting company.
He became a trader for the JC when he came back.
He's a womanizer and a spendthrift.
He likes red wine and loves to party,
often spending
$100K on a meal with his friends.
Reminds me of a certain high official.
His annual salary was $1.5M,
but rent alone was $80K a month.
His source of income has been a mystery.
- Call HQ for backup! - Yes, Sir!
Control Centre, a shooting on Eastern Hospital Road.
Where's your Boss?
Morning, Sir!
He just stepped away.
Homicide... the victim was a Jockey Club staff.
ICAC witnessed the shooting. Call him.
Yes, Sir!
GO... pass!
Go...
No way!
Teamwork!
Inspector, Wong Sir is looking for you.
He seemed tense, must be something big.
Senior Inspector Lau Po Keung, Crime Unit.
Luk Sir!
Why were you following the deceased?
ICAC is on a case, it's confidential.
What kind of case?
It's confidential.
ICAC oases are usually about corruption.
Was he on the take? Or did he bribe someone?
It's confidential.
Luk Sir!
You let the killer get away,
and you can only describe his eyes?
You're no help!
He was
wearing a helmet.
- Luk Sir... - That's OK, Luk Sir!
You may go.
Thank you.
Thank you, Luk Sir!
Inspector, ICAC can be so cocky.
They must know a lot more.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Just go by the book.
Fork, follow up.
Yes, Sir!
People walk over him like a door mat!
Get to work.
The Jockey Club is an independent kingdom.
Its Board members
are all bigshots in Hong Kong.
Their Security Manager is not easy to deal with.
Depends on
if he wants to work with us.
- Long time no see! - Long time no see!
- Sorry to trouble you, Terry! - It's my job.
Lun Sir.
Not anymore.
I left ICAC 6 years ago.
I served under you when I started at ICAC.
I'm used to calling you Lun Sir.
- We should get together! - Sure!
This is Daniel, he's the Assistant Trader.
He'll show you where Mr. Tang worked.
Let me know how I can help.
Joe and Tammy, go with Daniel.
Yes, Sir!
- Let's have a chat. - Sure!
- Come. - Thank you.
Have a seat.
The Crime Unit was here.
They took Tang Siu Hung's computers and files.
How else can I help you?
As the Security Manager,
you're a powerful man.
If anything happens within the JC,
you're the first person to call.
Before the Police took Tang Siu Hung's belongings,
did you check them?
Was there an internal investigation on him?
No, but I hope you'll find out.
Two weeks ago,
we received an anonymous email
about Tang Siu Hung taking bribes.
Now that he is dead,
we must find the informer.
You suspect anyone?
I don't know.
You suspect me?
I don't know.
I still remember what you taught us.
Always suspect the least suspicious person.
Right?
Madam Wong,
I have done all I could to help ICAC.
Mr. Ha, Mr. Harrington.
This is Luk Sir and Madam Wong from ICAC.
- Hi! - Nice to meet you.
- Our Chairman, Mr. Harrington. - Nice to meet you.
This is my boss, Mr. Ha Chi Yin,
Senior Director and Chairman of the Discipline Committee.
- Hello! - Hello!
Mr. Luk,
the Jockey Club is Hong Kong's largest charitable organization.
We need you to solve this case,
so we can restore the confidence of the public!
- I'll try my best. - Thank you.
We better go. Thank you.
- I'll walk you out. - No need.
- Terry... - Yes?
Keep an eye on things.
Report to me as soon as you hear anything.
Understand?
Yes.
Joe,
I spoke to those
who worked with Tang Siu Hung.
He was not very popular.
But there was nothing suspicious.
I found out the deceased was tight with Mad Bill.
Mad Bill?
Your buddy, Inspector.
- Check it out! - Yes, Sir!
You recognize him?
You bet. He still owes him a few hundred grands.
- It's $2M. - $2M...
- Ballman! - What?
- Away team, Corner. - Great!
- $2,000 home win, High. - Gotcha!
Ballman, give me another chance.
Did you pay my Boss the $120K you owe him?
- I will if I win. - What if you lose?
Let me place the bet, buddy!
