Why do people use drugs?
I could never figured it out...
...until Quin and Fan died
It's all because of the emptiness inside
So what's worse...
...the emptiness or the drugs?
I really don't know
Nick. The "caterer" in position in 1 minute
Hello
Get in the JV1889 to your right
Okay
Get the 3 stooges beside you to follow you
They're like you.
Each holding a lemon tea
You three. Follow me to the car
Why it always have to be lemon tea...
Can't they switch to soda for once?
It's here!
The suspect's car is here. Get ready!
It's a 7-seat silver van
Plate no. JV1889
Unit A. Go now!
Go
Unit A has lost the suspect:
He turned left onto Jordan
Unit B in pursuit
Go
Hello
Nick. I made the drop
Call it a day!
The suspect is on Boundary heading
towards Kowloon City
The suspect has turned onto Earl Street
Slow down! Keep your distance.
He might see you!
Nick. The "caterer" is in position
It's a green light! Don't stop. Keep going!
I knew they would pull this!
Think they are dealing with rookies!?
He's staring at you
Get going! Move!
He's sniffing us! Don't look back!
The road split ahead!
Which way should I take?
Stay on course!
Damn! He's gone!
"Client" lost in the roundabout
No sweat! Unit B back in action!
Easy on the turns ahead.
Don't let him slip off!
Copy
You are the only tail in business
Heads up
He's turning!
Take the left lane!
I can't. I'm blocked.
Watch it!
Unit B has lost the target
The target went into Kowloon City
Nick. I lost my tail now
- Sand Martin Bridge - Copy
Not too bad
We managed to stick with them this long
Let's go
- Back to station?
- No. I got a game to go to
Split it up!
Get out!
Hurry up!
- Yes - The party's over
- It's a wrap - Copy
Mom! I'm hungry
Just wait a little longer.
Mrs. Luk is not back yet
Once she pays me...
...I'll treat you to a dinner out
Can you spare me some instant noodles?
I'm out
Take some bread instead?
My salary is stalled...
I'll pay you back once I get my money
Eat it...
How much?
Deal!
Quin. I've got a new number
Nick?
Yes. Big sister?
Quin is in the ER again. Come quickly!
Dear...
Go home and get your father's
personal things...
I have a date! Get your sister to do it!
- You... - Hi. Nick!
Nick
- Nick - How is he?
Please convince him to have the operation
He shouldn't stall any longer
lt'll be alright
Can I see him now?
Over there
Nurse
Nurse...
Just a second
What do you need?
I need to pee
- I'll get you a bed-pan - Wait...
There are women here...
Why don't you go to a private hospital?
It's been a really rough year
My kidneys are ruined by diabetes
My wife has high blood pressure
and a bad cholesterol level
My little daughter was born with VSD
Her sister is healthy
But she's a monster!
Did you see her manners?
Can you stand her? I can't!
Take it easy. Your health comes first
Your wife wants you
to get a kidney transplant
But I'll die faster
if the operation goes badly!
I don't think you have much choice
When I send the little one abroad
for her operation...
...I'll get mine done as well
- Did the drop go well? - Yes. It did
I wanted to talk to you though
What is it?
I've found a customer
I want to bank one deal on my own
Just a sec...
What did you say?
I want to do one trade myself
I need to buy a house
How much?
Four sets "Hong Kong Dollars"
I'm asking about the house!
Pls grease me on this one
I'm tired of borrowing!
Who's your buyer?
You taught me not to ask questions
Are you sure he's cool?
Just need to trust me
Yeah. Right...
What kind of house do you need?
Can't you even afford the down payment?
Good for nothing... what's that?
Hey. Easy on that
Hide it
Get rid of the leftovers
Your wife will kill me if she finds out
You are kidding? Nothing go wasted!
Where is everyone?
They went home to get Quin's stuff
What about you?
I was waiting for you
Do you want to go to a movie?
Someone gave me two coupons!
Come on...
It's early. We can walk to the cinema
Have a safe ride
Let's see...
What's you name?
Jane-jane
Jane-jane. Want some candy?
Eat your vegetables
Have some fish
Do you have rats in your flat?
A rat crawled into our bed last night
It almost bit her!
I put out some rat poison
Me too!
But they just keep coming back
Try another brand!
We can buy some after dinner
Thanks
Do you sell bootlegs?
They belong to Mrs. Luk's son
I work for Luk and he lets me stay here
Would you like some tea?
Do you live by yourself?
Yes
I broke up with my husband not too long ago
I wanted to return to my parents' home
But my father refused to take us in
Since my husband had priors causing trouble
with my folks
My father disliked him
and did not condone our marriage
He said my husband was a worthless bum.
Which is kind of true
You don't need
to tell me all these...
You're right
This couch seems very comfy
You bet... you should try
I don't know
how such a good sofa ended up here
Have some tea
Yes
Hey...
What's up?
Come pick me up at the hospital now!
Let's talk again some other time.
I have to go.
Thank you
Oh. It's nothing
Go to the "kitchen"! Something happened
What are we waiting for?
I don't know where it is
He's here
Relax. He's safe!
Who is he?
Nick. He looks after transport
You could have warned me!
I almost had a heart attack!
Let's go
Open up!
Moron...
What is it?
It won't clog
What the hell do you mean it won't clog?
Give me a cigarette
Light it
Hurry
Magnesium?
Magnesium is gray!
This is potassium nitrate!
It's basic chemistry!
Where did you get this junk?
The regular place in Shamshuipo!
They screwed up big time!
"Re-cook" now
or we'll lose the whole batch!
Son of a bitch!
I'll burn down their shop tomorrow!
Just shut up
and give me two sets "US Dollars" now!
Hurry!
Pour it in!
Enough!
Hurry!
Mix it!
"Double Uoglobe Brand"
It used to be morphine bricks...
...which took a long time to process
Now they send it pre-made
That's 99% pure...
...heroin bricks
The cops call them "No.4".
We call them "US Dollars"
It's lethal if taken straight
That's why you need to cut it.
Then you get "HK Dollars"
The same stuff you always dropped off
Our product is high-grade
The dealers will cut it further
with glucose.
K or Blue Devils
Sometimes. Even plaster
Anything goes just to boost
their profit margin
We. However. Only make good stuff
to keep the bigger dealers coming back
Know why it's shaped like this?
For easy transport
Wait
Each weighs 350 grams
This stuff is hot!
The market price is $320 grand per set
Don't try selling short
I've thought it over
You would need to learn
all the ropes somehow
It's time you get some hands-on experience
My health is a mess
I'll have to pass the business
onto someone eventually
I am a nerve wreck in trusting people
Well. You seem to prove yourself
...and pretty smart
Just remember...
...never take risks
Oh...
My sister-in-law... she's a good girl
Guess what my wife told me just now
She cried so hard when you stood her up
I...
What's the problem?
Once we're in-laws.
You can still call me big brother
Just the same!
She once asked me what my line of work was
I couldn't answer
What could I say?
Drugs?
When do I pay for the merchandise?
No rush. Make yourself some money first
Bye
- I'll go up with you - I'll be fine
Bye
What are you doing?
Feeding pigeons
Aren't you afraid of avian flu?
No! Are you?
Quit fooling around...
Dangerous stuff...
Cut it out. Let's go!
All used notes...
...all specially marked
and undetectable
Where is this batch going?
Overseas...
Will let you know once it's done
Hey. We need picture evidence
Last night was sudden: Couldn't be helped
But I managed to visit the kitchen though
You did?!
Met the chef. He's in his 50s
He has two young sidekicks
You should hurry if you want to catch them
Do you know we've got a new boss?
I read it in the paper
I went through the operation with him
a few days ago
And we reviewed each step together
The conclusion is...
We'll be able to round up your drivers...
some of your clients...
plus the 3 cooks you've just met...
...it's only a dozen people or so
Boss said we've put in a lot of time
and money
Yet Quin's supplier is still unknown
The main point is...
Lin Quin controls more than
half of the local supply
It's a monthly turnover of at least $30M
Where does the money go?
Could Lin be backed by other people?
What does the boss want?
He wants to know
if you're OK to stay undercover further
It's 7 years now
That's why he wants your opinion
Is there anyway to nail everyone?
Lin Quin is ill
He's going to pass on
more and more duties to me
Even if there is a backer
...I'll probably never meet him
Who knows how long it will take?
It could be several years
We don't mind waiting
The Chief is impressed with your work.
You're in line for the SPC rank
I prefer cash
Me too
Oh. Congratulations!
What for?
Chief Superintendent. Ay!
But that's as high as I can go
Unless...
Unless we can nail
this entire drug supply line
It's all up to you
We must tie the whole network together.
So that we'll have solid evidence in court
And as soon as you smell
Quin plans escape route
We'll arrest him and close the case
I suppose he must have a few passports
If he ever gets to
an international airport hub...
...we'll lose him for good
I know... what's the hurry?
I have to join a soccer game
How's your girlfriend?
You two still fighting?
Aren't you getting married?
She's pregnant. Right?
- Where's the key?
- I thought you had it...
Gotta go... Call me
C'mon: You want business or not?
I'll give you $50 more
Elaine is upstairs
She only keeps watch!
I'll fix you up with another girl!
Let me know when she's available
It's for you
Uncle... what is it?
Remember what to say?
Thank you!
Can you do any house chores?
Yes!
Go find your child a kindergarten
This is no place for a little girl
Find out what I need at home...
detergent. Toilet paper. Etc.
If you're available tonight.
Come by for dinner
I haven't cooked in a while
Okay
By the way my name is Fan
Call me Nick
How much do you want?
I want soup too
Sure...
More?
Less
Less... okay
- How's that? - That's it
Good
The price is largely
affected by the shipping cost
If the cargo is shipped C&F here.
You need to pay at least 20% more
We can cut corners by shipping ourselves.
But it's not that easy
The man holding the bag
gets the ownership and blame
If they get caught before the handover.
You don't pay
Get caught after. You pay it all
Those are the rules
Now it's ours
I thought they stop water transport
Everyone thinks so.
Which makes it the safest way
I have one!
Me too!
Hi Cal!
This is Cal. The warehouse keeper
This is Nick. He handles the drivers
Now that you've been introduced.
Try not to see each other again
Use unmarked phones
to arrange all deliveries
Is the warehouse nearby?
Mind your own business
Just tell him to collect the goods
once they arrive
Call him
when the kitchen opens for business
He'll deliver to a secure spot.
And you send a runner for pick up
It's the same way you make a delivery!
Okay
Relax. He'll be in charge soon
Mine is new to me...
Everyone has to shield off himself
Don't ask what doesn't concern you
Remember. Never take risks
The warehouse keeper. Chef and clients
should never come into contact
Only the runners get caught.
And the trail ends there
As "wholesalers".
We don't get our hands dirty
We oversee from a distance
Just like me...
If it wasn't for salvaging the "dishes"...
...I would never go near the kitchen
There is no room for error in this trade
Anyone who gets caught...
does 20 to 30 years minimum
Enough. Brother
You sofa is comfortable
Go back to sleep
I have frequent insomnia
Relax...
Promise me
Once we get married...
You have to treat me better
You can't hit me again
What does it feel like?
From head...
...to toe
Ever inch of my skin experiences a rush...
...for the longest time...
...for as long as I want
I'm asking about being high
High...
It's like all my worries disappear
I can dream... whenever I want to
It's a dream come true
But it's not a dream...
It's real... it's real!
Yes... Yes...
Yes... Yes...
Honey
Honey. What are you doing here?
I've been looking all over for you
Where's our kid?
Where is she. Honey?
Honey. Don't run away from me...
Don't... honey
Honey. Why so silly?
Why put yourself through this pain?
Honey...
I have stuff on me
Take some. You'll feel better
- C'mon. Take some... - No... No!
Take some and you'll feel better.
No... No!
Honey...
Honey... Honey... open up!
Honey. I love you very much!
Don't leave me alone...
Mom. What are you doing?
Nick
Nick...
Nick
My husband has found me
Can I stay here for a couple of days?
No!
Don't shout!
You tried to get me hooked!
What?
What did you put in the cigarette?
Nothing! Why would I...
Don't come here again
I swear I didn't do anything
I would never harm you!
Listen carefully!
It's not my business! Just go!
Please...
- Please. Listen to me...
- Go away! Go!
Please help us...
If you don't want to help me.
At least help my child!
You're scaring your child
Just go to rehab!
But they'll take my child away!
I can't live without her!
I really can't help you
Just tie me down
I can kick it in a few days
You're crazy! Go!
I can do it! I really can!
Bite me... bite me!
Harder!
Stop crying...
I've been trying...
but I just can't kick the habit!
My husband is a junkie
I urged him... to quit
He said it's impossible to quit
I tried to prove to him
that it was possible
That's how I started using
It turns out that you can't quit
If I don't leave him...
I'll never be able to quit!
Please help me!
Please. I beg you
Don't move!
Bite it!
Your mom is fine
She's alright
Let's go outside
Sit here
Thank you
Don't be afraid. Go on.
We'll wait for you here
Nick!
Check this out!
Get a new car. Dad! Yours is outdated!
What's this? Why are you smoking?
You're disgusting!
What? At least I'm not smoking weed
Who taught you to smoke?!
Why are you hanging out with these losers?
Did you teach her to smoke?
Uncle. She's the one who taught me
I'm not your uncle!
Can' you stop nagging for once?
Let's go
Give me a break
Watch the road!
If my kidneys don't kill me she will!
Yelling wont help. Talk to her
Why smokers are so stupid?
Cigarette stinks!
It doesn't make sense
What about drugs?
Why do people... do drugs?
I don't know and I don't want to know
We're just businessmen!
It's simply market supply and demand
Smoking causes cancer
but there will always be smokers
At least I don't advertise
It's not me who got them started!
They bring it on themselves
They made their own choice!
Why? Do you know any addicts?
No... I'm just curious
Let me tell you...
Junkies can be the best actors!
When they crave a hit...
They'll do anything. Say anything!
Don't ever hang out with that bunch
Or they'll make you feel like...
you're the one causing their mishaps
They bring it on themselves
If they say no.
There is nothing we can do
- Why so worked up? - I'm not!
It's their own fault!
Do I look worked up?! Bullshit
Hello?
No. Don't... I'll find someone... Bye!
What is it?
Chef's older helper is in the hospital
Find a trustworthy runner to do
the pick-up tomorrow
Forget it. I'll do it
Alright
Let's cut it with...
...rat poison someday
...and kill those scumbags
May. Find anything?
The 9th floor looks suspicious:
The windows are covered
Maybe our purchase was too small for them
C'mon! We asked for 40 sets!
Call them again
Tell them to make the delivery now.
Or the deal is off
What a pain in the ass
We must find the warehouse today!
Ask upstairs what's going on
Not a thing
Got any sand on your sole?
I'm clean. Open up
My older helper had diarrhea.
He could barely walk
Take a seat. It's almost ready
Hurry up!
Take your time
Where's the washroom?
Something's up!
Easy. We're only taking pictures today
Something looks odd.
A strip of toilet paper
is hanging out of 8C
Keep an eye on both units!
A man in his 30s has just left Unit 8C...
...in brown shirt. Khaki pants.
And holding a brown paper bag
Chief. Isn't his bag a little small
for a delivery?
Small orders are common nowadays
That's how bootleggers takeover the market
Well?
Pull him over! It won't hurt!
Sing and Nam. Check the guy out
Customs Department!
Hey. You! Stop there!
Don't move!
What's happening?
We've got some sets of aka porno movie
Is that all?
Get him to show us the warehouse
I mean No.4 Heroin
How much stock
and how many people are there?!
Answer me!
Spit it out!
You scumbag...
Go on!
Let's see you try that again...
Don't you dare!
Stop it...
I work...
undercover for the Narcotics Bureau
Our operation has been on going for years
You'll ruin everything...
if you make a bust now
My supervisor is Miu Chi-Wah
I can give you his number...
you can ask him!
Just tell me if 8C is a lab or a depot?!
- Answer me! - Chief...
Chief...
If he can name Miu Chi-Wah.
He may be telling the truth
You believe him?
Drug dealers are the slyest!
We might tip them off by calling!
What if he's not lying?
Come to your senses!
We'll take him for a liar just the same!
Why should the Narcotics Bureau...
take all the credit anyway?
Beat him!
Break him till he talks!
Spit it out!
You heard the Chief!
Let me handle it!
Ready to talk now!
I warn you. Don't play games with me!
Help me on this once
If I made a mistake.
I'll make it up to you. Big time!
Okay?
Okay?
Okay
Okay
You forgot something?
It's a bust!
Asshole!
It's the Customs!
Come help quickly!
Open up!
Forget it! Step aside!
Step aside!
Break it down!
Break the lock!
Move!
Something's happening!
Chief. They're flushing the stuff
down the sink!
You better hurry!
Someone jumped the queue!
Call Miu now!
It won't work! Let me pry it open!
They're dumping the smack
out of the window!
Give it to me!
Hurry!
The less they find.
The shorter the sentence!
There are two more trays! Go get them!
What about... the US Dollars?
Get everything. You idiot!
Stray bullet! Take cover! Move him aside!
Stop bustle!
Calm down!
Uncle!
They'll break the door soon!
They are coming in!
Just jump!
Don't look down! Look at me!
Jump!
- Hang on... - Don't let go...
Hurry! Over here!
Don' t look down!
Don't step on my hand!
Grab my hand!
There was gunfire upstairs!
Are you okay?!
I'm okay
Did you identify yourself?
I did
But they went crazy when they saw the drugs
What happened to the one who fell?
He died
Customs agreed not to do
a composite drawing of you
You'll have to think of a story
I'm afraid Quin will be suspicious
Do some damage control for me
Sure
Let's go
See a doctor first
What a mess...
Following a tip-off. HKCED raided...
...the Chong Fei Industrial Building today
...and found No. 4 Heroin
on the 8th floor
...with an estimated street value
of HK$47M
...Hong Kong's 2nd largest
drug seizure to date
The following amateur footage shows that...
...a large quantity of drugs
thrown out a window during the raid
...attempted escape through the window
...resulting one death from falling
Sources suggest that...
...the deceased was allegedly
a Customs informant
HKCED. However. Refused to comment
See this? You've got a rat!
How can you not know?!
Who?
The one in the morgue!
Your helper!
The paper announced that
he was a customs informant!
Is that your big problem or not?
You tell me!
But they're my nephews...
So what? They couldn't sell you out?
Even brothers could kill
each other for money
You fool!
So?
If not them! It must be me then?
Am I the rat?!
Or he is?!
Or you?!
Is it you?
It can't be Nick
He saved my life
So what?
He could still be the rat for all you know?
Where is the other kid?
Can't find him
Keep looking!
He would definitely lay low
after the news all out!
I don't care!
Just find him!
I want him dead!
Brother
Look
I swear Customs got us by pure luck
It's all my fault
I couldn't take their beating
It's me who led them to the kitchen
If you still trust me...
...I have an idea
I'm listening
The problem has been too many runners
It seems safe
But they could be runners one moment.
Informers in the next!
If we don't use runners.
We have to do it ourselves!
Yes
We need no one else but the three of us
It's too risky in the long run
Long run?
How much longer do you think we have?
Everyone is using Ecstasy
and K these days
The era of...
shooting needles is over!
The heroin trade is in its twilight:
It's almost over
Why slow things down...
with runners?
We can combine the depot and kitchen...
...and speed the process up
Make our money faster!
My goal is to score $30M and quit
I'll quit after reaching 20
I was lucky to get out
I'll quit once I score another 15
I want to be alive to spend it
I'm not doing this for life
I don't want to get caught in my last days
Over the past few years
You three did the hard part
I'll let you decide
This is it. Nick...
I'll work with you!
That's right. Nick. You call the shot.
It hurts again?
I'm okay
But bad luck always comes in a row
Let's go pay tribute
to the Buddha in Thailand
Just hurry!
Pay me...
step aside
Wait there. I'll pay you
Boss...
We can give as much as you want
- Pay me... - One at a time!
What is this?
Does it taste good?
It's medicine. Don't drink it
Or your tummy will hurt. Understand?
Yes
Good girl
Have some candy
Stay away from the clinic for now
If you get into trouble.
Go to the rooftop and take the backstairs
I'll be gone for a few days
Take this
You've been so kind to me
I'm not going to let you down
Don't worry
I'll kick it this time
Chiang Mai. Thailand
Come over!
Don't play like that!
Hello
Thank you
Honey. Come look!
What do you think?
It's beautiful!
We're staying here tonight
You too. Okay?
...left to breathe for 6 hours
Pour it
Don't drink too much
Thanks
We're here to have fun. Let yourself go
Red wine can lower cholesterol
It's safe for pregnant women
Don't worry
Listen!
Since we're having caviar.
We must drink champagne
I'll make an exception...
and allow you kids to have a glass each
Cheers!
It's like grape juice. What's the big deal?
I want whiskey
Don't get your daddy upset!
Or I'll slap your face!
Cheers!
Cheers!
Cheers!
What is this?
We charge by the weight. Sir
That's ridiculous!
If the foreigners see us.
They'll think I can't afford it
No... they won't
What you mean. They won't?
What are we going to do
with such tiny bits?
We'll take it all! Now!
Take it away
Get rid of the scale!
Sorry
Sorry. Sir
Order some more
What an idiot!
What do you take me for?
Here. Eat!
Drink up
- Cheers. - Cheers.
This one is too revealing...
I should wear this
Even I'd wear it!
With your figure.
I would definitely flaunt it!
Give me a break
How does it go?
What a cry baby. It's just a bikini
She's too old to be shy
C'mon. She's still a young girl
So what? She'll be an old maid soon!
Tell her to be bold!
What's wrong?
After all these years...
...it's the first time
you've enjoyed life so freely
So it's a good thing
Why act like I've just died?
No. No. No... knock on wood
Lie down with me...
Knock on wood...
See? Push and pull... Now it's clean!
Yes
Meet me at the lobby
Sure
Don't go
Quin is waiting for me
Don't go
Thank you
Move on! Move On!
You are the rat!
A fellow dealer
saw great promise in a young man
He made him his protg
That young man...
...was as smart as you
...just as careful
A few years later
His cover was blown:
He was a snitch all along!
Why did you sell me out?!
Level with me now!
I risked my life for you all these years!
And you still doubt me?!
Why should I trust you?!
The merchandise
I gave you never hit the street!
Did you swallow it all?
Listen carefully
Tell the truth.
Or I'll shoot you right here!
You won't believe anything I say anyway!
What are you waiting for? Go ahead!
Pull the trigger!
Stop it!
You still owe me an explanation!
It went to Taiwan
Which part?
Say it!
Kaohsiung!
Phone
Hello
Yes?
Lao-Gao
Quin! What's up?
I just need to know...
Did someone make a delivery
to your turf a while ago?
No!
Well... Damn it...
Yes! You're well-informed
It's very much like your stuff
But more expensive
I promise not to buy from other people
Oh... something happened?!
Nothing's wrong
I'll call in a couple of days
Send my regards to your mom
Thanks. I will!
Okay. Okay! Dinner!
Come on!
It's over! Come over and eat!
Don't be childish. Sit down!
It was only a routine check!
I told you. Never take risks!
Not bad at all...
Your mark up is higher than mine
What kind of clients are they?
What now?
Afraid I'll steal your client?!
Spit it out!
"Fortune comes from the land"
Billions of dollars literally
spring from here
Other than oil and arms...
...drugs are the world's
largest source of trade
The Golden Triangle. The Golden Crescent...
...and Latin America
are the dominant producers of opium
The Golden Crescent is the borderland
between Afghan.
Pakistan and Iran
Most of their product goes to Europe
Latin America supplies to US and Canada
The Golden Triangle supplies to Asia
But such may change according
to the market demand
And guess what...
The US and European markets
are the most profitable
How?
Starting from the purchase from the farm...
...the value of the stock will snowball
continuously until it hits the streets
Try 1.000-fold
It's not as easy for the farmers though
Every acre of land here
yields 1.5 kg opium per year
That's about...
...US$100 a year
I feel sorry for them
Come here!
Come here!
Hey!
Bye!
Hello. My friend!
This is General Chachai
King of this region
He owns one of the militias in the region
I always have US$8M with him as collateral
My friend
You look terrible! It's your kidney!
Don't joke with me
How's your family?
My little girl is alright
But the older one...
acts like a boy and rebellious
I'm sending her to the US. And I'll get
my operation done there as well
My son is in LA
He skips classes and parties everyday
Let's trade our kids: You discipline mine
It's a deal
Nick
This is Nick. My brother
He'll handle our business from now on
I see. He is your protg
Yes
UN has even done market research for us
It says here...
The price in Iceland was the best
The market price there is US$372 per gram
Ireland is US$248
US plunges most. It's doing US$120
You see
There are 200M drug-users in the world
Heroin-use has decreased to 11M now
But Ecstasy-use has reached 8M
What's happening in Hong Kong?
The market is shrinking
Have some tea
After Khun Sa's defeat in 1995
The region has changed drastically.
Col. San Pwint...
...took over the Shan State.
He urged the farmers to quit...
...even made it illegal
to plant opium in 2005
ten thousands of farmers
were relocated to southern Burma...
...where they learned to plant rice and tea
What's that field for?
Someone paid US$60 per acre to plant corn!
I have something to show you
Half a year ago.
They suddenly dropped a 2000 lbs bomb here
My mother-in-law lives right there
She fell out of bed when it happened
Who sent you such a big present?
Some joint venture among
the heroin trafficking countries
They're warning me
The Golden Triangle is not the same anymore
Thailand no longer produces
Few months ago. Even Laos announced...
they would demolish all poppy fields
China and Burma are fighting drugs together
The farmlands in this region are downsizing
We don't even make up 10%
of the global supply
lmagine. Within 10 years.
The Golden Triangle
will become a tourist resort
You should retire early and enjoy your life
What did he say?
He's getting old
In this trade. It's best to deal
with the drug lords in person
That's how you win their trust
and secure your supplies
You may also see the quality
of the harvest and bargain
Don't trust him completely though
Why trust me then?
I thought it over
Only a drug dealer would jump
No cop would!
I'll take you to another area tomorrow
introduce you to another warlord
Then I'll teach you
how to launder money in Bangkok
Like the police. We service by district
East Kowloon. West Kowloon. NT.
Tuen Mun and the Hong Kong Island
Each district has its
own network of dealers
You've just met the loyal clients
- Never ever...
- trust them completely
I know I'm annoying
But we'd better to be safe than sorry
You're right.
You have to be alive to spend your money
Look at me
My time is running out...
That's enough!
You're worse than me
I've made a donation to a hospital overseas
I'll be in line for a transplant next month
Where to?
Don't tell me
America
Not coming back?
Well we'll see...
One more thing
Don't pay Chachai new deposit
You can use mine as start up
I wish you success and prosperity
You' re still young
$30M won't do
Go for $300M
With $300M. You'll be set for life
Of course it's all up to you
Once you've made enough. Iook me up
We'll go fishing
Sure
Don't pity that woman
Women like her die sooner or later
When they do. The world will be cleaner
Right?
Uncle
What's up?
Uncle
So here you are
You slept with my wife. Didn't you?
- Get out! - I'm warning you!
If you don't settle this today.
I'll make your life hell
Out!
I hear you well
Sure I'm leaving!
Hell. I am not staying with you!
- Listen. I know where you... - Out!
- Get up! - Listen to me...
Get up!
He pried the door open...
Listen to me...
You have to listen. It wasn't my fault
Stop shitting me! Look!
Look at yourself! Look!
You don't need to go straight for anyone...
...but yourself and your child!
A carton of Marlboro Light
Marlboro Light!
- Hello? - There's customers!
Sunny
Ready to go upstairs with me?
I'll give you $100 more
Who do you think you are. The queen?
Sunny. Elaine is upstairs. C'mon up
How could you pass up a chance
to earn money?!
You scumbag!
How can you be pimping your own wife...
Oh. Shut up. Bitch!
Mind your own business!
Drop dead!
Go away. Go to hell!
And I'll take you with me!
Yeah. Right! I am very scared!
Un... uncle!
The hell with the "UNCLE"
Know who your mom is?
- Excuse me -Yes
What happened to the dog?
It was going through the garbage
That truck backed up and ran it over
Leave it be. It'll die soon
The number for SPCA please
Nick. Listen to me...
Nick... Nick
You can help a dog...
...why can't you help me?
That dog doesn't have a choice but you do
What is it?
You want to sleep with my wife again?
Look at you
Don't give me that poor teary look
What?
Everyone! Come look!
This man slept with my wife!
Just keep an eye on your child!
She's picking up...
I'd rather keep an eye on you!
Do you plan to bang her again?
You're not going anywhere
until we settle this
The last time you got laid. 10 grand
This time with a discount...
that's another 8 grand
Bastard!
Help! Help! Call 999!
Don't eat things
you pick up off the ground!
Okay
Are you taking me to school?
Yes. We'll go soon. Okay?
Mom. I want to go to school
Take me to school
Honey
This is good stuff
Try it!
Where's the vein?
It's not popping up!
Inject to my neck
You are bad. You sure you can handle it?
I'll get higher
Go on!
I'm hungry
Where's mom?
I'm hungry
What do you want to eat?
Candy
How about some noodles instead?
Eat slowly. I'll get you some beans
The materials here constitute...
...a full account of your meetings
and telephone conversations since 1998
Your sentence will be at least 30 years.
I can bet my head on this
But if you provide us with all the names
of those involved...
...you'll stand a chance of
seeing the outside world before you die
You may see your unborn child
...or even hold your future grandchild
Otherwise. You don't even need a lawyer
Let me see my wife
She knows nothing about this.
I have to explain!
No way!
Do this and I'll return the favor
My confession will guarantee your promotion
Quin
Listen...
We don't have time. Listen to me
Don't say anything
Once you do. We'll all be killed.
I only care about the children
The little one...
needs an operation soon...
What about the unborn one?
Stop whispering!
For your children's sake. You must leave
I've stashed away all our money
Once you're gone...
Listen to me...
They can't do anything to us
...stop whispering!
Go! Take her away!
Listen to me...
Leave me alone!
What are you doing?!
Let her go!
I know what to do
You don't need to say another word
Be happy when you leave here
Give our children a good life
Take her away
Go now
C'mon... let go
Quin...
Quin!
- Let me see him - No
He treats me like a...
The whole thing was a set up
Your friendship was a lie!
Everything was fake!
I know!
But I don't want to be seeing shrinks
for the rest of my life!
I must come clean with him today!
Let me think about it
I need to crap
Got any cigarettes?
Quin
I suppose you understand...
...the rules of the game
Your luck ran out and you've lost
I don't want to wait till the court date...
...what more is there to be said?
I just want to tell your daughters that...
...I never intended to hurt them
Why?
Remember when we first met.
You were so broke!
I lent you money...
so that you could have a place to stay!
You remember?
It was fake
You had big gambling debts.
The loan sharks were after you
but I bailed you out
Remember?
It was fake!
I was ambushed
But you saved me! Why?
It was all faked!
Those were all cops!
I treated you like my own brother
I hand over my business to you!
I've never trusted anyone but you!
Why did you betray me?!
What is it with you?
You can't make $10M in your lifetime
on a cop's salary!
Why are you doing this?
You think you really were
selling appliances?
There's no simple answer...
Get out of your own delusion!
You sold drugs!
You ruined people's lives!
I won't argue with you...
Give me some more time. Just a little
It's almost time for me
I'm almost there
After all. They all want me dead
So let me die please...
Please. I beg you...
Please...
Help me just stall a little longer
Let my wife...
Let my wife and children live on.
A normal life
Please
Help me this once
Please help me
I've always worried
that this day might come
I'm sorry
All the brass thinks highly of you
You can resume police duties
or opt for early retirement
You can decide
Take some time off to decide
I've never walked my beat duty.
Never taken a witness statement
Never been to a police station either
I've been a drug dealer for years
When I see a cop now. I run and hide!
I can't work inside the force
I'd rather stay undercover
You're right... you're an insider now
lt'd be a waste
to send you back to the station
Try to improve your English
and further your studies
lt'll benefit your career in the long run
Don't worry
The brass would back you up
Is it time for the meeting?
Let's go
Carry on
The spa upstairs is great.
And it's all paid for
Give yourself a treat
Hey!
What're you staring at?
I'm your child's godfather
You were also banging my wife
Believe what you want
I want to send her to school
Take her
Just give me 8 grand
Instead of money. How about some stuff?
No wonder Fan tried to dump me!
She found herself a meal ticket
Brother. It's time to move on...
Forget the past. Okay?
What about your daughter?
Take her! Keep her!
She... looks exactly like her mother!
I can't trust myself
and what I might do to her
Fine. Sign here
and appoint me as her lawful guardian
See. You wife signed already
It's only a matter of time
before you overdose
Why don't you quit. And work for me
It's not like I had a choice
It's all Fan's fault
She was the one who got me started!
She was addicted even before we met
I tried to get her to quit
but she said it was impossible
I wanted to prove it could be done
That's how I got started
I dug my own grave being passionate.
You know
She was alone and had nothing!
It would be cruel to leave her!
You see. I really loved her!
I don't care
My stuff goes overseas
It's risky!
If you don't take risks.
You don't strike it rich!
Okay. Okay... how much?
The standard is 50 grand. I'll give 60
Count... count me in!
- Are you sure? - Of course...
What do I do now?
Yes
Singapore Changi International Airport
Which one?
The one wearing sunglasses
Wait for me ahead
Police! Stop there!
Stand still!
Officer Chan
Officer Miu. Here we are again
I'm sorry to have troubled you
We've arranged...
your return flight
Here are the papers
What... what do we do now?
It's over
You'll be executed
See you in hell!
Mister. Where're the pigeons?
AFDC removes them
As a precaution against the avian flu
I never understood why people used drugs
After Quin and Fan died.
I finally figured it out
It's all because of the emptiness inside
So what's worse...
...the emptiness or the drugs?
I really don't know
THE END
