The Great Money Robbery (2026) Movie Script
Don't come here anymore.
You work hard for your money.
Don't come here anymore.
You work hard for your money.
Save your money.
If you really miss me...
Boss, right this way.
Do the fake bills really have
to be spread by these hookers?
Mm.
The customers who come here
just want to have a good time.
After they're done, if
they spot a few fake bills,
so what? Are they gonna call the cops?
Get busted for soliciting a hooker,
and I'll just marry you.
Hello, Boss.
All the girls are here.
We're all family here.
You see that?
It passes the counterfeit detector.
Feel good, Boss?
Captain.
We've been staking this place out for ages.
When are we moving in?
What's the rush?
Let them strut around a bit longer.
We'll head up once they're worn out.
Feel good?
Where... where are you?
Don't be so impatient.
I can't wait any longer.
What are you doing?
Sir.
You overpaid by two hundred.
More, less, whatever.
Keep it.
Sir.
You work hard for your money too.
My cut.
Keep going.
It's real cash.
Baby.
I'm here!
What the hell?
Who is it?
Get out here!
ID!
Out!
Men on the left, women on the right!
Move it!
Line up!
Hurry up!
Get out here, now!
Get out!
Behave yourselves!
Qiang-ge.
Should we tell the
customers to leave first?
It's fine.
The girls are smart.
They know what to do,
and what to say.
We're boyfriend and girlfriend.
Boyfriend and girlfriend, huh?
Yeah.
What's his name?
His name is Wang Defa.
Yes, Officer.
That's me, Wang Defa.
You don't believe me? Check my ID.
Officer.
You're here for a vice raid, fine.
But don't disturb us normal
folks trying to get some rest.
Right?
Stand still!
How did you know
we were here for a vice raid?
Give me your wallet.
Wallet.
What's your relationship with him?
ID.
See this?
Same serial number.
Fake money.
Fake money.
Is this yours?
Not mine!
Show me your wallet.
I know it's not yours.
Your "girlfriend" slipped it in there.
Wallets!
Everyone check your wallets.
Look in your wallets, all of you.
See if you've got any.
We suspect you of dealing
in counterfeit currency.
So you're all couples, right?
That makes you accomplices.
Take 'em all.
Wait.
I...
Vice squad, you're clear to move in.
What are you looking at me for?
Run!
Go, go, go!
Get out of here!
Everyone run!
Police!
The cops are here!
What are you panicking for?
The cops are here!
What's that got to do with us?
They're here for you!
The fake money!
Let's go!
Stop!
Freeze!
Don't move!
Police!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Captain Xie.
Someone fell from upstairs!
Call an ambulance, now!
Dispatch, this is... Dispatch!
What are you hiding?
Get out!
Up!
Move!
Stop!
Take the suitcase, quick!
You go that way.
Got it.
Captain! Captain!
Halt!
We're on the back stairs!
Stop running!
We're about to catch him!
Stop!
Stop ramming it!
Guard this spot.
Little Meng!
Get someone to break the door down!
Yes, sir!
Quick!
Squat down!
Stay still!
Don't move! Stand straight!
Get in the van.
Quiet!
Stay down.
Keep your head down.
You, come here.
Get in the van, inside.
What are you looking at?
Over here.
Two more for Chashan!
Going to Dongshan?
Just one more and we're off!
Going to Dongshan?
What are you doing?
Hey, buddy.
Where to?
Dongshan.
Dongshan, huh?
Okay, okay, get in.
Wait.
How much?
Fifteen.
You son of a bitch.
That damn Zheng Ming.
He's poaching my fares again.
Asshole.
Let's mess him up.
Let's go.
Carpooling is one thing,
but you're overloaded.
It's fine, it's fine.
I'll drop you off first.
Come on.
Here, get in.
Duck your head.
Watch your legs.
Liangguang 3rd Martial Arts.
Sanda Champion.
Your gold medal.
It's fake.
Just a coaster.
Brother Ming.
Business is good.
Got any small bills?
Need change.
Thanks, Brother Ming.
Sorry.
How'd it go?
Pretty slick, huh?
Got it exchanged?
That's you, alright.
Got it.
Here comes that jerk.
It's counterfeit.
You trying to screw me?
You've been taking all the profits.
What's wrong with sharing
the risk with the brothers?
Money comes in one
hand, goes out the other.
Give me my money back.
What's your problem?
You robbing me?
Give it back!
My money!
I said give it back!
Police!
Settle down, both of you.
You say you're a cop?
Like anyone's gonna believe that.
Yeah, right.
Then let's go somewhere and prove it.
Captain Xie's back.
I'm back.
Squat down and stay still.
Captain Xie.
Hold on.
Take a bag upstairs and grease
some palms at the registration office.
This is way beyond what we expected.
It's seriously disrupting people's lives.
Chief.
The fifth series of RMB
has been out for over half a year.
These criminals
can't keep up with the tech.
They're bound to be phased out.
Then just take your vacation.
Take it all the way through Golden Week.
Shut up.
Little Meng.
The detector.
On it.
You see that?
It passed the detector.
But it's still the old series.
It passes the detector.
If it passes, they can make a master plate.
Make an old master plate,
and they can make a new one.
This batch of counterfeits...
I seized it a few days ago.
It comes from a ringleader
they call "The Factory Boss."
I traced the source
as far back as I could.
And you know what?
Chief.
It's right here.
Right now.
Anyone still thinking they got lucky?
Chief.
Officer Xie Jiatong.
Requesting orders for next phase.
Awaiting instructions.
The perspective is off.
Fix it.
The composition's good.
You can go a bit darker
right here.
Uncle Qiao.
I'll fix it on my own.
That's much better.
Doesn't look like the original.
It's got something.
This kid's got her own
ideas in her painting.
This is
You just...
Why do you have so many ideas?
Weren't you supposed
to paint the Potala Palace
with Sister Qi?
What is this?
Daxiang.
Give her another chance.
My daughter can do this.
Tear it up and do it again.
The kid paints well.
Qiao Mengqi.
Starting today,
forget everything Uncle Qiao taught you.
Everything.
Forget Monet.
Forget Van Gogh.
Paint whatever you want.
Don't come back tomorrow.
She's not a fit for us.
But... you...
She can blaze her own trail.
Go home and pack your things.
Tomorrow.
Daxiang.
Send her to Europe to study art.
The village will pay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you, Daxiang.
Thank you.
All counterfeit currency
must be confiscated.
Come on.
Everyone hand over your wallets.
This counterfeit cash
we got it as fares driving our cabs.
We're victims here too!
Seal it up.
Everyone be more careful from now on.
Stay vigilant.
Damn it.
Let's eat.
Hello?
Give my money back!
What's all the yelling?
If I ever catch you inside
the 2nd Ring Road again,
I'll beat your ass
every single time.
Don't brag.
Just try it.
I...
Break it up!
You two haven't finished talking?
Wanna go back inside and chat some more?
Here, take it.
Idiot.
Idiot.
I remember you.
Zheng Ming, the Triple Crown winner, right?
When we trained Sanda back in the day,
we actually studied tapes of your fights.
Why'd you quit competing?
Cause I'm broke.
Thanks.
Damn right I'm broke.
Gotta tough it out.
You journalists are the worst.
Come on.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Not a single scrap of
paper leaves this room.
Be quick about it.
You like filming us, huh?
Now I'm filming you.
Strip her down!
Hold her down!
Take her clothes off!
Strip her naked!
I wouldn't stoop to using
your journalist tricks to threaten people.
That footage you just shot
it's all in this camera.
Delete it yourself.
Fine.
Go.
Mr. Zheng.
I'm the head nurse.
Are you done?
Hurry up!
Coming, coming!
We understand needing to clean up,
everyone gets it.
But disturbing other patients
is where you're out of line.
You wash up here every single day.
You think this is a hotel?
Don't you have a home?
Or can't you afford hot water?
How dare you yell at my dad!
Watch out, or my dad
will kick you to death!
Look at her!
Like father,
like daughter.
Please don't talk about her like that.
You need to teach her some manners.
Yes, yes.
I'll be more careful.
Careful next time.
Close your eyes.
Go to sleep.
You little rascal.
No more eating.
Be good and go to sleep.
Daddy needs to discuss something
with the nice nurse.
Now close your eyes, sweetie.
Leukemia doesn't wait.
Your daughter's bed
is only paid up for five more days.
There's a long waiting list behind you.
Don't worry.
I'll pay what I owe.
I'll pay what's due.
You'll get your money.
Miss.
Can you set up a meeting
with Director Li for me?
The preliminary match
was successful, right?
Why haven't we heard anything?
Do me a favor.
I'll invite him... invite
him out for a meal.
Okay?
Mr. Zheng.
Just register and wait your turn
like everyone else.
I know.
Just help me set it up once, please?
Come on, Miss.
I can't take that.
No, no, no.
You...
You...
Answer your phone, you damn Little Dao!
Thirty thousand.
Look how much you've lost.
Pure hand.
Self-draw.
Mahjong!
Pay up, all three of you.
Come on, another round.
Hurry up and play!
Who the hell are you?
Give me my money.
I don't have it!
How can I pay you back with no money?
No money.
No money, but you're gambling?
What's this then, if it's not money?
You can't use that.
It's no good.
You can't.
This money isn't...
It's counterfeit!
I have to give it back to
the Boss after I pass it.
I don't care about any Boss or Captain!
Let me tell you something.
I want real money.
Pay up!
I don't have it!
Qiao Xiaodao.
My daughter is sick.
I need cash, now.
You know that, right?
I know, I know!
If you don't give it to me,
I'll kill you with one punch.
No, no, wait!
Brother Ming!
Let me figure something out.
Before you got here,
I was on a hot streak.
I was about to win big.
Trust me!
Trust me!
Trust me, please, please!
I've been watching that side.
There's a huge fish over there,
lost nine hands in a row!
If we bet against him, we can't lose!
What if we lose?
If we lose, worst case,
I'll go sell my ass at the Golden Palace!
And pay you back!
I know you're doing this for Youyou.
I'm her godfather too, aren't I?
So you remember.
Place your bets, hands off!
Big or Small?
Big or Small!
Bets are closed!
Move!
Big.
Place your bets!
Hurry up and bet!
Bet on Big.
Big.
Small.
No more bets!
Big.
What's this?
Only a hundred?
New guy.
Doesn't know the rules.
Bets closed!
Big! Big! Big!
One, two, two...
Small.
Damn it.
Let's go, let's go.
Wait a second.
My apologies.
I was overthinking it.
Luck changes, right?
Well?
Wanna go another round?
I'm done. Let's go.
Go.
It was a misunderstanding. One more round?
No more.
Trust me!
Just a couple more hands.
Bet against the losing beacon,
and you'll get a villa by the sea!
Come on!
Let's do it.
Stop gambling.
Enough.
Bet Big again this round.
Okay.
Big! Big!
Place your bets, no more changes!
Small! Big! Small!
Big!
Open!
Four, six, six. Big!
We're rich!
Rich!
Same serial numbers!
I've had my eye on you.
Passing counterfeit cash in my place?
According to the rules of Fa Cai Dong,
cheating
means three cuts, six holes.
Survive that, and you're free to go.
Nobody move!
You think you're Bruce Lee?
Hack him!
Get him!
Go!
Cut him!
That's him!
Kill him!
You punk, I'm gonna waste you today!
Hey!
You okay?
Get up!
Get him!
Self-draw.
Collecting.
Take the money.
Don't do anything stupid.
Calm down, calm down.
Nobody move!
I said don't move!
Freeze!
Back up, back up!
Buddy, stay cool.
Buddy.
Don't move.
Stay still.
I said freeze!
Everyone freeze!
Don't move.
Back off!
Let him go!
Or I'll hack him to death!
Do it!
Buddy!
We got twenty-some dealers here,
I'll help you!
You... you got no loyalty!
We've been with Brother Dong for years!
Shut up!
Come on!
Do it!
Hack him!
You... wait, wait!
Calm down.
Stay back.
All of you, back off!
Everyone step back!
Tea requires three boils.
People speak of three principles.
A knife can cut flesh.
Or it can open a tea cake.
The tea cake has a grain.
We call it the golden thread.
We're all craftsmen making a living.
No need to ruin the harmony.
Upstairs.
Drink your tea.
Easy, easy.
Your boss invited me for tea.
Brother Dong.
We don't want trouble.
We just wanted to exchange
a couple thousand more.
Place a few bets.
Pu'er tea needs to ferment
for thirty-six days.
The Boss's product,
they say it takes aging too,
also thirty-six days.
How much more do you have?
That's it.
All gone.
Then the game's over.
I got it, I got it!
How much you got?
How much you need?
Hey.
You trying to bluff me?
Do it.
Wait, wait!
I'm with the Boss!
Lots of people work for the Boss.
What's your connection to him?
None of your business!
You want the goods, right?
I got the Boss's product too.
You messing with me?
The Boss's paper
isn't this smooth.
Every day,
I handle more of his product
than the Pai Gow tiles you push.
I want three hundred thousand.
At one to ten.
Pay upfront.
Is that sincere enough for you?
Wait.
Don't try anything funny.
It's the Boss.
Answer it.
I'm giving you three days.
If you can't deliver,
I'll skin you alive.
I can deliver.
Let's go.
Send two guys to tail them.
Brother Ming.
Brother Ming.
I can't handle this amount!
Not my problem.
This is on you.
Fine.
I'll think of something.
Take this.
For Youyou's treatment.
It's real.
Stop gambling.
Avoiding me?
That scared of cops?
No no.
I was just looking over there,
seeing if I could get a fare.
You came out of that mahjong
parlor across the street.
No, I didn't.
Don't hang around places like that.
I remember you were in the news once.
Assaulted your coach.
Banned for life.
That's true?
The coach hit me.
That was years ago.
I didn't mean anything by it.
Just a reminder not to screw up again.
It's tough earning a
living for your family.
If something happens to you,
what happens to your daughter?
Can I at least buy you a bowl of noodles?
No, no.
Just wanted to say a few words.
Anyway.
We know each other now.
If you get into trouble you can't handle,
come find me.
I'm off.
You sure you won't eat?
Sit, sit.
Doctor.
This is the outstanding hospital bill.
One to ten.
One to ten.
Crawl. Come on.
Crawl towards your ancestors.
Crawl!
Crawl! You done crawling?
Brother Yun.
I was wrong, stop hitting me!
Stop! Stop! I messed up!
I was wrong.
When you pass the product, you do it right.
You don't get to negotiate the ratio.
That's up to my brother.
That casino connection...
I've tried to open that route before.
If we lower the ratio,
did you talk to the hundreds
of villagers about it?
One to ten?
In the end, we're the ones who'll starve.
You're from a collateral
branch of the clan.
Everyone looks down on you.
But I never did.
I grew up with you.
I know who you are.
You wouldn't break the rules like this.
It's not in you.
So, in front of our ancestors,
you tell me.
Who else is in on this with you?
Hello?
Brother Ming.
Little Dao.
Where the hell are you?
You know Fa Cai Dong's
guys are watching me?
Did you get the goods?
Oh.
The goods?
Go to the Dongshan
Hotel underground garage.
Pick up a boss there.
He's got the product.
You must be
the boss Little Dao mentioned?
So you're Zheng Ming.
Boss.
Whatever Little Dao does,
I can do too.
Take a look.
Watch.
So eager.
Where's Little Dao?
You go on ahead.
He'll meet you soon.
Damn it.
That's Zheng Ming's car.
What the hell?
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Out of the car! Out!
Get out! Now!
Hurry up and get out!
Didn't I tell you?
Out!
Get out!
Out of the car!
You want me to call the cops?
You see them?
All my brothers.
Get out, now!
Where's Little Dao?
Is this a place for outsiders?
So you're the Factory Boss?
Who are you?
You dare call "Boss"?
Outsiders who enter this place
only fall into two categories.
Either
they've done the Qiao family a favor,
or
they have a score to
settle with the Qiao family.
Don't kill me!
I'm your benefactor!
I saved Little Dao!
If it weren't for me,
Little Dao would be
dead back at Fa Cai Dong!
Fine.
Get out.
Boss.
Making that deal with Fa Cai Dong
that was my call.
Little Dao had nothing to do with it.
I used the money too.
If you want to smooth things over
with Fa Cai Dong,
I have to be the one to do it.
The price our village sets
is one to three.
Now it's one to ten?
The whole village is watching.
The only way out is to kill Little Dao
and send him over to settle this.
Killing Little Dao won't help.
This situation...
I have to handle it.
What makes you qualified?
This is my taxi operating license.
Worth over forty grand.
Everything I've got.
Hold onto it for me.
As collateral.
And what if later
they want more product?
This is a one-time deal.
If they come back for more,
I'll turn them down flat.
If
they decide to kill me,
so be it.
That's my fate.
Rong generation, to the ancestral hall.
An outsider wants to carry the
weight for the Rong generation.
Any objections?
Worse than an outsider.
Take him to get the money.
Let's go.
Bro.
Can he pull it off?
He's got guts and he needs cash.
Let's give him a shot.
Oh.
Give him a little extra.
Don't mention my name.
Got it.
Brother Ming!
Brother Ming!
Brother Ming, save me!
Help me, Brother Ming!
Brother Ming!
Save me! Save me!
You bastard.
Sent someone to kill me, huh?
Sent someone to kill me!
I must've been blind to call you a brother.
Three hundred grand in.
Weren't you going to pay me?
Where's the money?
Come on.
This way.
Follow me.
Hurry up.
Made it bigger again.
Money.
Money.
Money.
First, we figure out how
to settle with Fa Cai Dong.
The ratio you promised is impossible.
Your money.
This money
it's more than three hundred grand.
You're a somebody.
I respect you.
I call the shots on this cash.
After this is done, we split fifty-fifty.
Little Dao.
I'm taking him with me.
Loyal to your friends.
Brother Ming.
Brother Ming.
I knew it.
You'd never give up on me.
Brother Ming.
Brother Ming.
Don't kick me!
Stop kicking me!
I...
I can help you!
That thing with Fa Cai Dong
you can't handle it alone.
Let me help you!
You're really kicking me!
Brother Ming.
Brother Ming.
Brother Ming.
Hey.
That Fa Cai Dong
is he reasonable?
Judging by his face
yeah, reasonable.
Reasonable.
Keep in touch.
Keep in touch.
Keep in touch.
You get the goods?
I was just playing cards.
No money involved.
Just passing time with the old ladies.
Freeze!
There are juniors watching!
Tell it at the station.
Get in.
It's embarrassing!
In!
You've got the wrong guy!
Not me! Get in!
I really wasn't gambling! Move it!
Enough, shut up.
Did you arrest the wrong guy?
Little Meng.
Take them in.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Zheng.
What a coincidence.
Officer Xie.
Heading back to the station?
What?
You're not taking a squad car?
We rounded up a bunch of people.
No room left.
Don't take the long way.
Cops have it hard too.
Okay.
Turn left up ahead.
Didn't I tell you last time
not to come around here?
No, no, no.
I was just dropping someone off.
Just passing through.
Those two just now
who were they?
How come they bolted?
I have no idea.
Maybe
they were in a hurry or something.
I got a question.
You're driving a cop,
and you're not running the meter?
Here.
Drive safe.
Later.
Bro.
Bro.
I heard Fa Cai Dong
went down.
So this whole thing is over, right?
Hello?
Boss.
I know what happened.
Fa Cai Dong is locked up.
So there's no more beef between us.
Turns out it was all a misunderstanding.
Bring the product back,
and we're even.
W-wait, Boss.
I got an idea.
Fa Cai Dong's order
let me handle it.
Can I?
Fine.
But the ratio we agreed on stands.
Deal.
I...
Hey!
No, no!
Are you insane?
A million bucks!
Just give it back and it's done!
Have you lost your mind?
I'm an outsider.
I know too much.
He'll kill me for it.
Besides, I'm out of options.
This is for my daughter's surgery.
I can't pay for it anymore.
Driver.
You leaving or what?
Coming, coming!
Boss!
Boss.
Bag's small, no need for the trunk.
Put it up front. Come on, come on.
Get in, get in.
In you go.
Watch your head.
Duck down.
Careful.
Bro, I'm heading out.
Driver.
Is there anywhere around here to
have a little fun?
Yeah, yeah, there is.
It's a bit of a drive, though.
Boss.
We're here.
Boss, this way.
Hey, handsome.
Where's my kickback?
What?
Which PR channel are you from?
Get lost.
Pimp Qiang.
What's wrong with you now?
First
first take me to the hospital.
I'm bleeding internally.
Fine.
I'll get that kickback from you later.
You move around this hospital
pretty smoothly.
My daughter's been in
the hospital for two years.
I've been taking care of her.
I know this place inside and out.
I'm familiar.
You sure keep busy.
What good is busy?
Keep drinking like this and I'll be dead.
It's just a shame about my girls,
and my clients.
You...
How many people you got there?
You mean the hookers?
Mm.
See for yourself.
This is just one of my phones.
I've been in this business for years.
All the pimps in these hotels,
only me, Pimp Qiang,
never runs short on girls.
Here, here.
What are you doing?
Come on, come on.
Brother Ming, Brother Ming!
It's all counterfeit.
You in or out?
As long as I'm not drinking,
what difference does it make what I do?
One day.
Traded at one-to-one.
This is your half.
You got any more product?
I can take as much as you've got.
Three imported printing presses.
Cutting machines.
From the very first pen here,
the first sheet of acid-free paper
in our Qiao Family Village,
every process is state-of-the-art.
Green Ghost.
Green Pine and Red-Crowned Crane.
Fire Phoenix.
These print patterns
are handled by the uncles
of the "Song" generation.
Except for
the optically variable ink patterns.
Things like latent images,
micro printing,
and the windowed security thread
those are handled by the
uncles of the "Da" generation.
Those photo-editing
software programs out there,
the photocopiers
they're not even in the same league as us.
Our Qiao Family Village,
in a single day,
can produce over
3.2 million RMB.
In one month,
this warehouse will be filled to the brim.
One hundred million in counterfeit.
You know what leaves here is fake.
But what comes out of the ATM?
That's real.
So what about the old series?
It'll be replaced by the new series soon.
What if we can't move this inventory?
That's why you need to
help me figure this out.
Come.
Come in.
That question you just asked
she's helping me figure it out too.
She painted all of these.
Qiao Qi.
This one...
This one too.
She didn't paint this.
It's a Da Vinci.
The one hanging in the Louvre is hers.
You actually believe that?
You're so gullible.
I'm gonna go change.
Look around.
Qiao Qi.
Well?
Ugly.
You're a Boss now, big or small.
You gotta dress the part.
Too formal, doesn't suit you.
This one's good.
That's an artist's eye for you.
You got an eye for detail.
I like it.
So?
Her paintings
pretty good, right?
Three hundred fifty grand.
My contribution.
This money's not for me.
It doesn't belong to me personally.
It belongs to everyone
in Qiao Family Village.
You hand it over at the ancestral hall.
There's a big feast tonight.
Perfect timing for dinner.
You shouldn't leave.
Stay for it.
Second Uncle Qiao.
Take Brother Ming up.
Find him a good seat for dinner.
Okay.
Brother Yun.
For this year's top ancestral offering...
I'm betting on you.
Little Xiang.
Looking prosperous this year.
But
according to the old rules,
I'll keep it with you.
Thank you for your trust, Second Uncle.
The interest you give is
way better than the bank's.
Of course it is.
I trust you to handle things.
Today's payout day.
A day for celebration.
Many years ago, our village
was dirt poor.
Even the ancestor tablets gathered dust.
Now
the hall is rebuilt.
I paved the roads.
The kids have schools to attend.
The elderly are cared for. Why?
Because in the entire market,
only our Qiao family product
moves without a hitch.
Why is that?
Are we just lucky?
Some guys get busted
on their first run.
Is it just bad luck?
I don't think so.
It's because they flaunted their wealth.
They scared off the God of Wealth
and welcomed back the God of Plague.
So in this place,
when you make money, don't show it off.
Whoever shows off
dies fast.
Right.
Yes.
So our Qiao family
remember our family motto.
What is our motto?
Make a fortune in silence.
Softer! Say it again.
Make a fortune in silence.
Come.
Let's eat.
Good.
Good.
Four million.
Fresh off the press.
Get it arranged.
Take it.
Move it! Out of the way!
Watch where you're going!
Bad luck.
Brother Ming is so buff!
Brother Ming is so handsome!
Brother Ming! Brother Ming's so cool!
Brother Ming! Brother Ming!
Brother Ming, you just got here?
Missed you to death!
Come on, everyone.
Come here, all of you.
Come on, come on.
Come here.
Brother Ming.
All of you.
Brother Ming, we've
been waiting for you long.
If I quit this life, I'll marry you.
Hey, Brother Ming.
God of Wealth Ming.
Over here.
Girls.
Let's get to work.
Collect your pay.
It's real.
My big bro never pays for it.
If he doesn't pay, how's it soliciting?
What do you mean, no
pay means no solicitation?
So handsome.
Police!
The cops are here!
What's the panic?
The cops aren't here for me.
They're here for you!
The fake money!
Vice squad, you're clear to move.
Run!
Little Dao!
Flush the counterfeits!
Brother Ming!
Brother Ming, this way!
Over here!
Stop!
Dispatch!
Call an ambulance!
This way!
What are you hiding?
Get up!
Take him away.
You go that way.
Got it.
Put the knife down!
Captain.
Captain.
We're on the back stairs.
We're closing in on him.
It was just a vice raid!
Why'd you have to risk your life?
Don't come any closer!
Don't do anything stupid!
I'm warning you!
You come closer, I'll jump!
Are you crazy?!
This is a twenty-story drop!
Zheng Ming!
I know it's you.
Don't make another mistake.
Zheng Ming.
Captain.
Captain.
Easy.
Captain.
The girls have all confessed.
It was Zhang Qiang supplying them.
But now that he's dead,
the trail's gone cold again.
It wasn't him.
It was Zheng Ming.
Zheng Ming.
Bro!
Bro!
Something's happened.
Big trouble.
Keep it down.
You'll disturb the ancestors.
The cops raided the route.
And we can't reach anyone.
Tell the brothers
put outside operations on hold.
Also...
Find a few guys.
Cripple both of them.
Brother Ming.
Don't come looking for me.
Get out of here, now.
Brother Yun's got guys
everywhere looking to hack you up.
Stop!
Don't run!
Halt!
Stop running!
Hurry!
Stop!
Have you seen this guy?
Nope.
Who?
Haven't seen him.
Never seen him.
Isn't that
that Zheng Ming?
Have you seen this guy recently?
I'm not close with him.
That asshole?
Haven't seen him in ages.
I've got beef with that guy.
Let me warn you,
if you give false testimony,
you'll face legal consequences.
I'd like to find him too.
Hello, Captain Xie.
I know.
You want the Factory Boss.
Right?
Give me thirty days.
I can deliver the Boss to you.
Why should I trust you?
I was the one who worked
the line at the nightclub.
They trust me.
Thirty days from now,
my daughter is having surgery.
The nightclub's gone,
but the connections remain.
Millions in cash flow every month.
I don't believe he'd just give that up.
Hello, Chief.
There's something I need to report.
My bottom line is a controlled delivery.
If necessary, we move early.
Okay.
Understood.
Zheng Ming.
I'll trust you one last time.
Whether I keep this badge or not
It's all riding on you.
New number.
Thanks.
Captain.
You're really giving him thirty days?
I don't trust him one bit.
Keep a close watch.
Got it.
Coming, coming!
Brother Ming!
Quick, come in, come in.
I thought you didn't visit hookers?
What's the deal now?
You're here in person?
Yeah.
Business is tough all over.
What's going on?
Nothing.
It's fine, he's with me.
Two of you?
That's extra, you know.
No, no, no.
Business is bad.
Clients are either from out of town,
or they think it's too risky.
Okay, I get it.
Some are starving,
others are stuffed.
You think I want this?
These accounts of yours
how many adds do you get a night?
A thousand, maybe two.
What's the use?
Can't even close ten deals.
Listen up, girls.
Anyone not getting any business
you're all coming with me later.
I guarantee you'll make money.
Brother Ming.
I'm not getting any business.
Who else?
Brother Ming.
This time
don't screw us over again.
Yeah, Brother Ming, no
more screwing us over.
Okay, let's go.
Move.
Captain.
We've been monitoring Zheng Ming's phone
for ten days now.
But
not a single suspicious call.
Zheng Ming.
Look.
One account can add so many people.
How many people we got?
That's where the money is.
Screw off.
If we do this
it's like we can keep passing it.
That's how we make money.
Right?
Dayun!
You kill me,
and you'll really have nothing.
My money...
Freeze! Don't move!
Everyone stay still!
Qiao Dayun, take a good look!
The money's right here!
Qiao Daxiang!
I know you're here!
Qiao Daxiang, come out!
Suspect's really on guard.
This isn't two million.
It's two hundred bucks.
No, Brother Xiang.
This is two hundred.
But inside this computer,
there's countless two hundreds.
Take a look.
Move!
Go!
Police! Freeze!
Don't move!
Freeze!
Police! Stop running!
Hold it!
Stop! Don't run! Stay down!
Halt! Don't move!
Stop!
Cut them off!
Quick!
Freeze!
Stop right there!
Don't run!
Hold still!
Halt!
The Boss got away again.
It's fine.
Zheng Ming wants to go digital.
The Boss will definitely take the bait.
I've already informed the tech department.
We won't let a single IP address slip by.
The resolution on this is terrible.
Have a drink.
Did you have a good time last night?
I was just trying to figure out
how to introduce you
to the people of Qiao Family Village.
This works out perfectly.
You marry my sister,
and naturally you become
part of the Qiao family.
Your sister?
Qiao Qi.
My cousin.
What'd you think?
Here.
Sign the new internet cafe contract.
What are you afraid of?
Right here.
Zheng Ming.
Any word on the Boss?
The Boss is too slick.
He handed the online business over to me.
He's keeping a low profile.
Once I get a chance
to meet up with him,
I'll contact you right away.
Remember,
you've got twenty days left.
Brother Ming!
We can't keep up with the chats!
Then chat properly.
I've talked myself thin!
Before it was one-on-one.
Now it's one-on-five!
My head hurts so bad!
What do I do?
Hey.
You know what a forum is?
You know about posting threads?
Create burner accounts.
Twenty each.
Forums, I know those.
Brother Ming.
What's the angle here?
RMB and Stamp Collecting.
Leave it to me.
Open your browser.
What the hell?
Why's the internet down again?
Every day it cuts out!
How are we supposed to work?
No connection again!
I'll fix it.
Little Dao!
You on the phone hitting on chicks again?
What's the deal?
I'm not hitting on anyone!
Just checking my balance.
Can you fix it or not?
Hello?
Hello?
We need to get ADSL.
What's ADSL?
Broadband.
Xiao Hua, what are you doing here?
Brother Ming.
I can't handle this alone anymore!
Brother Ming!
We can't handle it either!
Hey there, interested
in currency collecting?
RMB collecting, you interested?
Check out currency collecting!
What the...?
Who opened the window?
Close it, now!
Brother Ming.
Lately
the news has been reporting,
folks are complaining.
Not enough real cash,
too many counterfeits.
The way I see it,
that's bullshit.
In this world,
isn't there plenty of smuggling?
Plenty of counterfeit goods?
Who knows, maybe your own son's a fake.
The world's a blur.
You know what's real and what's fake.
Real becomes fake, fake becomes real.
Fake becomes real, real becomes fake.
Just remember one thing.
The cash in your hand
whether it's real or fake
if you spend it, it's real money.
Yeah!
From now on
the long-haul jobs
leave 'em to us.
Thanks, Brother Ming!
For bringing us in on the score!
Thanks, Brother Ming!
Hey.
Clean this up.
On it, on it. Where do I put it?
Someone get in here and clean this up.
Bro.
It won't fit!
Relax.
We'll deposit it this afternoon.
I'm putting it in the fridge then!
Fine, do it.
Brother Ming! Brother Ming!
Brother Ming.
Youyou's surgery money
should be enough now, right?
So do we
keep going?
Of course we do.
What we're doing
the cops will find out sooner or later.
While I can still make money,
I need to save up more for Youyou.
Otherwise, when I get locked up,
and Youyou's out here all alone
how's she gonna survive?
You'd skin a flea for its hide!
Every bit of nutrition counts.
I know the rules.
Where's the Boss?
There's a cold storage out back.
A distribution point.
The Boss is inside settling accounts.
This meat's fresh.
Police!
Freeze! Don't move!
Get down! Down!
Stop!
Police!
Down! Don't move!
Hands on your head!
Get down!
Freeze!
Fellow officers.
Progress in the counterfeit case
has achieved a significant phased victory.
Multiple counterfeit warehouses
located within our city
have been dismantled.
I hope everyone can keep up the good work
to bring this major counterfeit
case plaguing our citizens
to a final resolution.
Alright.
Chief.
The numbers don't add up.
Everyone, fall in!
He said, what's this little
pain in the wind and rain?
I really like something
a friend of mine said.
Well, not exactly a friend.
An old acquaintance.
He said something once.
I thought it was great.
Make a fortune in silence.
Everyone.
Make a fortune in silence.
Make a fortune in silence.
You sure?
You really won't come with me?
I'll wait for you to come back.
Go on, get to work.
A-Xiang said,
while he's gone,
I'm in charge.
Brother Ming! Brother Ming!
Little Meng, recalculate that carefully.
Chief, you were dead right.
He's definitely playing both sides.
Look.
He's got quite an appetite.
Thanks, Brother Ming.
Once this heat dies down,
this money might not be so easy to come by.
It's not easy earning a buck.
Everyone, be smart with your spending.
Brother Ming.
That sounded like you're
about to get locked up.
Shut your mouth.
If you can't talk right, donate your mouth.
I'm heading out first.
Little Dao.
Take care of everyone.
Little baby, go to sleep.
Sleep well, good baby.
Little baby.
Go to sleep.
Sleep tight.
Hey there.
Interested in currency collecting?
So do these people
know that what they're getting
is counterfeit cash?
Some of them know.
The dumb ones don't.
You new here?
Yes.
I'll teach you.
Police!
Stop! Don't run!
I gotta go.
Halt!
Nobody move! Hands on your heads! Get down!
Now! Hands on your head! Squat!
Get down!
The numbers are off.
You're double-dipping.
You think we cops are idiots?
And I also know
the print shop is under your control now.
You are the biggest
source of the counterfeits.
Zheng Ming.
You're a real criminal now.
So you're here to arrest me.
Go ahead.
I'm not arresting you right now.
There's only one reason.
It's because I believe in who you are.
You can still be saved.
I'm giving you one last choice.
Within three days
bring me the Factory Boss.
Or you'll never see your daughter again.
Hey, bro, what's going on?
Bro! Bro! Bro!
You drunk?
Let go of me!
Have you lost your mind?
This money is ours!
My factory!
I call the shots!
The factory is yours.
The money belongs to everyone!
Get the hell away from me!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Hang in there!
Little Dao!
Hold on!
You gotta hang on!
Little Dao!
Can't go in!
You can't!
Calm down, Little Dao!
Just calm down!
You're listening to FM 94.7.
Zhenhai News Update.
Recently
the local area has seen
a large circulation of
counterfeit banknotes.
This phenomenon
has drawn widespread attention
from all sectors of society.
Notably, the serial number.
RL24164673 has been flagged by police
on counterfeit bills of
various denominations.
Listeners are advised to be vigilant.
We did everything we could.
Sorry.
The serial number RL24164673
on various counterfeit bills
has been flagged by police.
Listeners are advised
to remain alert.
Murderer.
Scum.
He got his own good brother killed.
Yeah, exactly.
Anyone with him is cursed.
He's the criminal making fake bills.
Right, that's him.
Why is scum like that still alive?
Hope the cops get him soon.
He's so shameless.
He's human trash.
Tell me about it.
Doesn't look like a good guy at all.
Qiao Qi.
Thanks for looking after me all this time.
You should run.
The cops
they could bust us any minute.
I'm not running.
We have to find Qiao Daxiang.
If I can find him,
I wouldn't have had to burn
the place down to save myself.
We have to find him.
He made off with all the village's savings.
In the end, I couldn't outplay him.
With this
we can lure him back.
Who else knows?
You're the first one I told.
What I gave him was a fake.
Why give this to me?
I know you're working with the cops.
I showed you the transaction info too.
I sent you all the transaction records.
What more do you want from me?
When do you plan to start production?
Use the old plates first.
You're going to run.
What about the people in the village?
They'll be fine.
The cops are after me.
What about me?
We leave together.
That master plate
it's my ticket to a new life.
So you've got it all planned out.
Yes.
I've wanted out for a long time.
The money we've made
it's enough for several lifetimes.
But I couldn't get away.
Not until I met...
Zheng Ming, the perfect fall guy.
It's a blessing from the gods.
As long as I get the
copies signed by him
the equipment contracts,
the ink purchases
all signed with Zheng Ming's name.
He's the one who's been the Boss all along.
No one will suspect a thing.
As long as he can
keep the villagers' trust
As long as they point the finger at him
we can...
So
you had me draw him.
Had me watch him.
It was all for this.
I did it for us.
I really did it for us.
The cops have been on my tail for a while.
If I don't run now, it'll be too late.
Before I go
there's one last thing.
Can you help me out?
Sleep with Zheng Ming.
Tie him to our Qiao family.
I...
I had no choice.
Everything I did was for us.
Please help me.
Just this one sacrifice.
That night...
I drugged you.
Nothing happened between us.
Hey, Captain Xie.
The master plate for the new RMB...
I got it.
What?
It's not the same!
No, no, no.
Joke.
Give me my money.
Give me my money!
Okay.
Give me box.
Okay?
Give me box.
Wait
Wait...
Wait me one day.
One day.
Hello?
We're almost at the hospital.
Don't go anywhere.
Okay, got it.
Doctor, where's my daughter?
I don't know.
Zheng Ming!
Zheng Ming!
What are you running for?
My daughter's been taken!
I have to save her!
If your daughter's taken,
the police will save her!
Stop chasing me!
Stop running!
Go!
Zheng Ming!
If you run, you'll never clear your name!
Stop running around!
Put the master plate
inside the Dragon Pearl!
Where's the Dragon Pearl?
Find it yourself!
Where's my daughter?
Your daughter won't die.
The Qiao family's carrying her.
To the salt-stove altar,
back through the village gate,
The sparks lead the way
through clouds of dust and smoke.
He who climbs first to
the summit without fear,
Is a mortal body with the soul of a god.
Police business.
Please open this up.
I'm sorry.
Officer.
The village is holding an
ancestral ceremony today.
It's not convenient for outsiders.
I said
police business.
Open the gate.
You don't understand, do you?
What'd you say?
What'd you say?
Sister Qi.
Sister Qi.
On this auspicious day,
all who come are guests.
Let them in.
Sister Qi!
They're police!
Does our village
have something to hide?
What are you afraid of?
We're just going in to find someone.
It won't disrupt your ceremony.
Only you can come in.
Says who?
Quiet!
Argue and no one gets in.
You...
Fine.
I'll go alone.
I'll go in first.
You guys find another way in.
Attention all units.
The criminal group
may use the parade as cover.
Distinguish between them and civilians.
Brother Ming, go, go, go!
Daddy!
Zheng Ming!
Shove the master plate in it!
Zheng Ming!
What are you doing?!
Xie Jiatong!
Give it to me!
The girl playing Mu Guiying is my daughter!
Daddy!
Give it here!
Daddy!
Baby.
Don't be scared.
Daddy.
Xie Jiatong!
Why are you alone?
Don't let go!
Protect that master plate!
You too, don't let go!
Let go!
Go!
Brother Ming!
We support you!
You got this!
Daddy!
Youyou!
Freeze!
Brother Ming! Go!
Brother Yun!
Youyou!
Daddy!
Where's the master plate?
Youyou.
Daddy's going to help the
police catch the bad guys.
Wait for me.
Okay?
Get him!
Hold him down!
Zheng Ming!
Xie Jiatong!
The ancestral hall!
What are you doing?
You can't leave!
You've disgraced our ancestors!
You've disgraced the Qiao ancestral hall!
I disgraced the ancestors?
I disgraced the Qiao ancestral hall?
I'm the one who set
up the ancestral tablets!
I built this hall!
I started the business for everyone!
I led you all to wealth!
They shouldn't be
worshipping the ancestors here.
They should be worshipping me!
Brother Xiang.
You're not serious, are you?
I can't believe you'd take
everyone's money.
Shut up!
Little Xiang.
I watched you grow up.
How dare you say such things
in front of the ancestors!
Have you no shame?
You're insane!
Are you kidding me?
What the hell is wrong with you?!
What are you doing?
"Everyone's money"?
It's all my money!
Without me,
could you have made all this cash?
Second Uncle.
You old bastard.
When your wife got sick,
didn't I pay for her treatment?
Uncle Chang.
Your kids' education
didn't I pay for every single one of them?
And you're stopping me?
Are you all insane?
Have you lost your minds?!
Easy! Calm down!
Don't do anything rash.
Calm down.
Put the gun down!
Calm down and drop the gun!
Don't be impulsive!
Calm down.
Come on.
And you have the nerve to cry.
Don't do anything crazy.
Ever since you were little...
I paid for your food, your drink.
Paid for your schooling.
And this is how you repay
me? Pointing a gun at me?
It hurts so much.
Come and get the money!
Youyou!
Daddy!
Quick, stay back!
Major breakthrough in the counterfeit case.
Suspect, identified as Qiao,
for large-scale counterfeiting,
intentional homicide,
kidnapping, and extortion,
sentenced to death.
The case is closed.
Bringing an end to the years-long
major counterfeit operation.
Truth and falsehood have an answer
the people can believe in.
That's the whole story.
I am willing
to atone for my crimes by good deeds.
To expose every detail
of the counterfeit operation.
My daughter is going into surgery.
I want to be with her.
Please?
Dr. Li, here's the patient's file.
Is Daddy outside?
Yes.
Your father signed this.
After the surgery
you'll see him.
How is it?
The match was good.
The surgery was a success.
Thank you. Thank you.
You work hard for your money.
Don't come here anymore.
You work hard for your money.
Save your money.
If you really miss me...
Boss, right this way.
Do the fake bills really have
to be spread by these hookers?
Mm.
The customers who come here
just want to have a good time.
After they're done, if
they spot a few fake bills,
so what? Are they gonna call the cops?
Get busted for soliciting a hooker,
and I'll just marry you.
Hello, Boss.
All the girls are here.
We're all family here.
You see that?
It passes the counterfeit detector.
Feel good, Boss?
Captain.
We've been staking this place out for ages.
When are we moving in?
What's the rush?
Let them strut around a bit longer.
We'll head up once they're worn out.
Feel good?
Where... where are you?
Don't be so impatient.
I can't wait any longer.
What are you doing?
Sir.
You overpaid by two hundred.
More, less, whatever.
Keep it.
Sir.
You work hard for your money too.
My cut.
Keep going.
It's real cash.
Baby.
I'm here!
What the hell?
Who is it?
Get out here!
ID!
Out!
Men on the left, women on the right!
Move it!
Line up!
Hurry up!
Get out here, now!
Get out!
Behave yourselves!
Qiang-ge.
Should we tell the
customers to leave first?
It's fine.
The girls are smart.
They know what to do,
and what to say.
We're boyfriend and girlfriend.
Boyfriend and girlfriend, huh?
Yeah.
What's his name?
His name is Wang Defa.
Yes, Officer.
That's me, Wang Defa.
You don't believe me? Check my ID.
Officer.
You're here for a vice raid, fine.
But don't disturb us normal
folks trying to get some rest.
Right?
Stand still!
How did you know
we were here for a vice raid?
Give me your wallet.
Wallet.
What's your relationship with him?
ID.
See this?
Same serial number.
Fake money.
Fake money.
Is this yours?
Not mine!
Show me your wallet.
I know it's not yours.
Your "girlfriend" slipped it in there.
Wallets!
Everyone check your wallets.
Look in your wallets, all of you.
See if you've got any.
We suspect you of dealing
in counterfeit currency.
So you're all couples, right?
That makes you accomplices.
Take 'em all.
Wait.
I...
Vice squad, you're clear to move in.
What are you looking at me for?
Run!
Go, go, go!
Get out of here!
Everyone run!
Police!
The cops are here!
What are you panicking for?
The cops are here!
What's that got to do with us?
They're here for you!
The fake money!
Let's go!
Stop!
Freeze!
Don't move!
Police!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Captain Xie.
Someone fell from upstairs!
Call an ambulance, now!
Dispatch, this is... Dispatch!
What are you hiding?
Get out!
Up!
Move!
Stop!
Take the suitcase, quick!
You go that way.
Got it.
Captain! Captain!
Halt!
We're on the back stairs!
Stop running!
We're about to catch him!
Stop!
Stop ramming it!
Guard this spot.
Little Meng!
Get someone to break the door down!
Yes, sir!
Quick!
Squat down!
Stay still!
Don't move! Stand straight!
Get in the van.
Quiet!
Stay down.
Keep your head down.
You, come here.
Get in the van, inside.
What are you looking at?
Over here.
Two more for Chashan!
Going to Dongshan?
Just one more and we're off!
Going to Dongshan?
What are you doing?
Hey, buddy.
Where to?
Dongshan.
Dongshan, huh?
Okay, okay, get in.
Wait.
How much?
Fifteen.
You son of a bitch.
That damn Zheng Ming.
He's poaching my fares again.
Asshole.
Let's mess him up.
Let's go.
Carpooling is one thing,
but you're overloaded.
It's fine, it's fine.
I'll drop you off first.
Come on.
Here, get in.
Duck your head.
Watch your legs.
Liangguang 3rd Martial Arts.
Sanda Champion.
Your gold medal.
It's fake.
Just a coaster.
Brother Ming.
Business is good.
Got any small bills?
Need change.
Thanks, Brother Ming.
Sorry.
How'd it go?
Pretty slick, huh?
Got it exchanged?
That's you, alright.
Got it.
Here comes that jerk.
It's counterfeit.
You trying to screw me?
You've been taking all the profits.
What's wrong with sharing
the risk with the brothers?
Money comes in one
hand, goes out the other.
Give me my money back.
What's your problem?
You robbing me?
Give it back!
My money!
I said give it back!
Police!
Settle down, both of you.
You say you're a cop?
Like anyone's gonna believe that.
Yeah, right.
Then let's go somewhere and prove it.
Captain Xie's back.
I'm back.
Squat down and stay still.
Captain Xie.
Hold on.
Take a bag upstairs and grease
some palms at the registration office.
This is way beyond what we expected.
It's seriously disrupting people's lives.
Chief.
The fifth series of RMB
has been out for over half a year.
These criminals
can't keep up with the tech.
They're bound to be phased out.
Then just take your vacation.
Take it all the way through Golden Week.
Shut up.
Little Meng.
The detector.
On it.
You see that?
It passed the detector.
But it's still the old series.
It passes the detector.
If it passes, they can make a master plate.
Make an old master plate,
and they can make a new one.
This batch of counterfeits...
I seized it a few days ago.
It comes from a ringleader
they call "The Factory Boss."
I traced the source
as far back as I could.
And you know what?
Chief.
It's right here.
Right now.
Anyone still thinking they got lucky?
Chief.
Officer Xie Jiatong.
Requesting orders for next phase.
Awaiting instructions.
The perspective is off.
Fix it.
The composition's good.
You can go a bit darker
right here.
Uncle Qiao.
I'll fix it on my own.
That's much better.
Doesn't look like the original.
It's got something.
This kid's got her own
ideas in her painting.
This is
You just...
Why do you have so many ideas?
Weren't you supposed
to paint the Potala Palace
with Sister Qi?
What is this?
Daxiang.
Give her another chance.
My daughter can do this.
Tear it up and do it again.
The kid paints well.
Qiao Mengqi.
Starting today,
forget everything Uncle Qiao taught you.
Everything.
Forget Monet.
Forget Van Gogh.
Paint whatever you want.
Don't come back tomorrow.
She's not a fit for us.
But... you...
She can blaze her own trail.
Go home and pack your things.
Tomorrow.
Daxiang.
Send her to Europe to study art.
The village will pay.
Okay.
Thank you.
Thank you, Daxiang.
Thank you.
All counterfeit currency
must be confiscated.
Come on.
Everyone hand over your wallets.
This counterfeit cash
we got it as fares driving our cabs.
We're victims here too!
Seal it up.
Everyone be more careful from now on.
Stay vigilant.
Damn it.
Let's eat.
Hello?
Give my money back!
What's all the yelling?
If I ever catch you inside
the 2nd Ring Road again,
I'll beat your ass
every single time.
Don't brag.
Just try it.
I...
Break it up!
You two haven't finished talking?
Wanna go back inside and chat some more?
Here, take it.
Idiot.
Idiot.
I remember you.
Zheng Ming, the Triple Crown winner, right?
When we trained Sanda back in the day,
we actually studied tapes of your fights.
Why'd you quit competing?
Cause I'm broke.
Thanks.
Damn right I'm broke.
Gotta tough it out.
You journalists are the worst.
Come on.
Hurry, hurry, hurry!
Not a single scrap of
paper leaves this room.
Be quick about it.
You like filming us, huh?
Now I'm filming you.
Strip her down!
Hold her down!
Take her clothes off!
Strip her naked!
I wouldn't stoop to using
your journalist tricks to threaten people.
That footage you just shot
it's all in this camera.
Delete it yourself.
Fine.
Go.
Mr. Zheng.
I'm the head nurse.
Are you done?
Hurry up!
Coming, coming!
We understand needing to clean up,
everyone gets it.
But disturbing other patients
is where you're out of line.
You wash up here every single day.
You think this is a hotel?
Don't you have a home?
Or can't you afford hot water?
How dare you yell at my dad!
Watch out, or my dad
will kick you to death!
Look at her!
Like father,
like daughter.
Please don't talk about her like that.
You need to teach her some manners.
Yes, yes.
I'll be more careful.
Careful next time.
Close your eyes.
Go to sleep.
You little rascal.
No more eating.
Be good and go to sleep.
Daddy needs to discuss something
with the nice nurse.
Now close your eyes, sweetie.
Leukemia doesn't wait.
Your daughter's bed
is only paid up for five more days.
There's a long waiting list behind you.
Don't worry.
I'll pay what I owe.
I'll pay what's due.
You'll get your money.
Miss.
Can you set up a meeting
with Director Li for me?
The preliminary match
was successful, right?
Why haven't we heard anything?
Do me a favor.
I'll invite him... invite
him out for a meal.
Okay?
Mr. Zheng.
Just register and wait your turn
like everyone else.
I know.
Just help me set it up once, please?
Come on, Miss.
I can't take that.
No, no, no.
You...
You...
Answer your phone, you damn Little Dao!
Thirty thousand.
Look how much you've lost.
Pure hand.
Self-draw.
Mahjong!
Pay up, all three of you.
Come on, another round.
Hurry up and play!
Who the hell are you?
Give me my money.
I don't have it!
How can I pay you back with no money?
No money.
No money, but you're gambling?
What's this then, if it's not money?
You can't use that.
It's no good.
You can't.
This money isn't...
It's counterfeit!
I have to give it back to
the Boss after I pass it.
I don't care about any Boss or Captain!
Let me tell you something.
I want real money.
Pay up!
I don't have it!
Qiao Xiaodao.
My daughter is sick.
I need cash, now.
You know that, right?
I know, I know!
If you don't give it to me,
I'll kill you with one punch.
No, no, wait!
Brother Ming!
Let me figure something out.
Before you got here,
I was on a hot streak.
I was about to win big.
Trust me!
Trust me!
Trust me, please, please!
I've been watching that side.
There's a huge fish over there,
lost nine hands in a row!
If we bet against him, we can't lose!
What if we lose?
If we lose, worst case,
I'll go sell my ass at the Golden Palace!
And pay you back!
I know you're doing this for Youyou.
I'm her godfather too, aren't I?
So you remember.
Place your bets, hands off!
Big or Small?
Big or Small!
Bets are closed!
Move!
Big.
Place your bets!
Hurry up and bet!
Bet on Big.
Big.
Small.
No more bets!
Big.
What's this?
Only a hundred?
New guy.
Doesn't know the rules.
Bets closed!
Big! Big! Big!
One, two, two...
Small.
Damn it.
Let's go, let's go.
Wait a second.
My apologies.
I was overthinking it.
Luck changes, right?
Well?
Wanna go another round?
I'm done. Let's go.
Go.
It was a misunderstanding. One more round?
No more.
Trust me!
Just a couple more hands.
Bet against the losing beacon,
and you'll get a villa by the sea!
Come on!
Let's do it.
Stop gambling.
Enough.
Bet Big again this round.
Okay.
Big! Big!
Place your bets, no more changes!
Small! Big! Small!
Big!
Open!
Four, six, six. Big!
We're rich!
Rich!
Same serial numbers!
I've had my eye on you.
Passing counterfeit cash in my place?
According to the rules of Fa Cai Dong,
cheating
means three cuts, six holes.
Survive that, and you're free to go.
Nobody move!
You think you're Bruce Lee?
Hack him!
Get him!
Go!
Cut him!
That's him!
Kill him!
You punk, I'm gonna waste you today!
Hey!
You okay?
Get up!
Get him!
Self-draw.
Collecting.
Take the money.
Don't do anything stupid.
Calm down, calm down.
Nobody move!
I said don't move!
Freeze!
Back up, back up!
Buddy, stay cool.
Buddy.
Don't move.
Stay still.
I said freeze!
Everyone freeze!
Don't move.
Back off!
Let him go!
Or I'll hack him to death!
Do it!
Buddy!
We got twenty-some dealers here,
I'll help you!
You... you got no loyalty!
We've been with Brother Dong for years!
Shut up!
Come on!
Do it!
Hack him!
You... wait, wait!
Calm down.
Stay back.
All of you, back off!
Everyone step back!
Tea requires three boils.
People speak of three principles.
A knife can cut flesh.
Or it can open a tea cake.
The tea cake has a grain.
We call it the golden thread.
We're all craftsmen making a living.
No need to ruin the harmony.
Upstairs.
Drink your tea.
Easy, easy.
Your boss invited me for tea.
Brother Dong.
We don't want trouble.
We just wanted to exchange
a couple thousand more.
Place a few bets.
Pu'er tea needs to ferment
for thirty-six days.
The Boss's product,
they say it takes aging too,
also thirty-six days.
How much more do you have?
That's it.
All gone.
Then the game's over.
I got it, I got it!
How much you got?
How much you need?
Hey.
You trying to bluff me?
Do it.
Wait, wait!
I'm with the Boss!
Lots of people work for the Boss.
What's your connection to him?
None of your business!
You want the goods, right?
I got the Boss's product too.
You messing with me?
The Boss's paper
isn't this smooth.
Every day,
I handle more of his product
than the Pai Gow tiles you push.
I want three hundred thousand.
At one to ten.
Pay upfront.
Is that sincere enough for you?
Wait.
Don't try anything funny.
It's the Boss.
Answer it.
I'm giving you three days.
If you can't deliver,
I'll skin you alive.
I can deliver.
Let's go.
Send two guys to tail them.
Brother Ming.
Brother Ming.
I can't handle this amount!
Not my problem.
This is on you.
Fine.
I'll think of something.
Take this.
For Youyou's treatment.
It's real.
Stop gambling.
Avoiding me?
That scared of cops?
No no.
I was just looking over there,
seeing if I could get a fare.
You came out of that mahjong
parlor across the street.
No, I didn't.
Don't hang around places like that.
I remember you were in the news once.
Assaulted your coach.
Banned for life.
That's true?
The coach hit me.
That was years ago.
I didn't mean anything by it.
Just a reminder not to screw up again.
It's tough earning a
living for your family.
If something happens to you,
what happens to your daughter?
Can I at least buy you a bowl of noodles?
No, no.
Just wanted to say a few words.
Anyway.
We know each other now.
If you get into trouble you can't handle,
come find me.
I'm off.
You sure you won't eat?
Sit, sit.
Doctor.
This is the outstanding hospital bill.
One to ten.
One to ten.
Crawl. Come on.
Crawl towards your ancestors.
Crawl!
Crawl! You done crawling?
Brother Yun.
I was wrong, stop hitting me!
Stop! Stop! I messed up!
I was wrong.
When you pass the product, you do it right.
You don't get to negotiate the ratio.
That's up to my brother.
That casino connection...
I've tried to open that route before.
If we lower the ratio,
did you talk to the hundreds
of villagers about it?
One to ten?
In the end, we're the ones who'll starve.
You're from a collateral
branch of the clan.
Everyone looks down on you.
But I never did.
I grew up with you.
I know who you are.
You wouldn't break the rules like this.
It's not in you.
So, in front of our ancestors,
you tell me.
Who else is in on this with you?
Hello?
Brother Ming.
Little Dao.
Where the hell are you?
You know Fa Cai Dong's
guys are watching me?
Did you get the goods?
Oh.
The goods?
Go to the Dongshan
Hotel underground garage.
Pick up a boss there.
He's got the product.
You must be
the boss Little Dao mentioned?
So you're Zheng Ming.
Boss.
Whatever Little Dao does,
I can do too.
Take a look.
Watch.
So eager.
Where's Little Dao?
You go on ahead.
He'll meet you soon.
Damn it.
That's Zheng Ming's car.
What the hell?
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Out of the car! Out!
Get out! Now!
Hurry up and get out!
Didn't I tell you?
Out!
Get out!
Out of the car!
You want me to call the cops?
You see them?
All my brothers.
Get out, now!
Where's Little Dao?
Is this a place for outsiders?
So you're the Factory Boss?
Who are you?
You dare call "Boss"?
Outsiders who enter this place
only fall into two categories.
Either
they've done the Qiao family a favor,
or
they have a score to
settle with the Qiao family.
Don't kill me!
I'm your benefactor!
I saved Little Dao!
If it weren't for me,
Little Dao would be
dead back at Fa Cai Dong!
Fine.
Get out.
Boss.
Making that deal with Fa Cai Dong
that was my call.
Little Dao had nothing to do with it.
I used the money too.
If you want to smooth things over
with Fa Cai Dong,
I have to be the one to do it.
The price our village sets
is one to three.
Now it's one to ten?
The whole village is watching.
The only way out is to kill Little Dao
and send him over to settle this.
Killing Little Dao won't help.
This situation...
I have to handle it.
What makes you qualified?
This is my taxi operating license.
Worth over forty grand.
Everything I've got.
Hold onto it for me.
As collateral.
And what if later
they want more product?
This is a one-time deal.
If they come back for more,
I'll turn them down flat.
If
they decide to kill me,
so be it.
That's my fate.
Rong generation, to the ancestral hall.
An outsider wants to carry the
weight for the Rong generation.
Any objections?
Worse than an outsider.
Take him to get the money.
Let's go.
Bro.
Can he pull it off?
He's got guts and he needs cash.
Let's give him a shot.
Oh.
Give him a little extra.
Don't mention my name.
Got it.
Brother Ming!
Brother Ming!
Brother Ming, save me!
Help me, Brother Ming!
Brother Ming!
Save me! Save me!
You bastard.
Sent someone to kill me, huh?
Sent someone to kill me!
I must've been blind to call you a brother.
Three hundred grand in.
Weren't you going to pay me?
Where's the money?
Come on.
This way.
Follow me.
Hurry up.
Made it bigger again.
Money.
Money.
Money.
First, we figure out how
to settle with Fa Cai Dong.
The ratio you promised is impossible.
Your money.
This money
it's more than three hundred grand.
You're a somebody.
I respect you.
I call the shots on this cash.
After this is done, we split fifty-fifty.
Little Dao.
I'm taking him with me.
Loyal to your friends.
Brother Ming.
Brother Ming.
I knew it.
You'd never give up on me.
Brother Ming.
Brother Ming.
Don't kick me!
Stop kicking me!
I...
I can help you!
That thing with Fa Cai Dong
you can't handle it alone.
Let me help you!
You're really kicking me!
Brother Ming.
Brother Ming.
Brother Ming.
Hey.
That Fa Cai Dong
is he reasonable?
Judging by his face
yeah, reasonable.
Reasonable.
Keep in touch.
Keep in touch.
Keep in touch.
You get the goods?
I was just playing cards.
No money involved.
Just passing time with the old ladies.
Freeze!
There are juniors watching!
Tell it at the station.
Get in.
It's embarrassing!
In!
You've got the wrong guy!
Not me! Get in!
I really wasn't gambling! Move it!
Enough, shut up.
Did you arrest the wrong guy?
Little Meng.
Take them in.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Zheng.
What a coincidence.
Officer Xie.
Heading back to the station?
What?
You're not taking a squad car?
We rounded up a bunch of people.
No room left.
Don't take the long way.
Cops have it hard too.
Okay.
Turn left up ahead.
Didn't I tell you last time
not to come around here?
No, no, no.
I was just dropping someone off.
Just passing through.
Those two just now
who were they?
How come they bolted?
I have no idea.
Maybe
they were in a hurry or something.
I got a question.
You're driving a cop,
and you're not running the meter?
Here.
Drive safe.
Later.
Bro.
Bro.
I heard Fa Cai Dong
went down.
So this whole thing is over, right?
Hello?
Boss.
I know what happened.
Fa Cai Dong is locked up.
So there's no more beef between us.
Turns out it was all a misunderstanding.
Bring the product back,
and we're even.
W-wait, Boss.
I got an idea.
Fa Cai Dong's order
let me handle it.
Can I?
Fine.
But the ratio we agreed on stands.
Deal.
I...
Hey!
No, no!
Are you insane?
A million bucks!
Just give it back and it's done!
Have you lost your mind?
I'm an outsider.
I know too much.
He'll kill me for it.
Besides, I'm out of options.
This is for my daughter's surgery.
I can't pay for it anymore.
Driver.
You leaving or what?
Coming, coming!
Boss!
Boss.
Bag's small, no need for the trunk.
Put it up front. Come on, come on.
Get in, get in.
In you go.
Watch your head.
Duck down.
Careful.
Bro, I'm heading out.
Driver.
Is there anywhere around here to
have a little fun?
Yeah, yeah, there is.
It's a bit of a drive, though.
Boss.
We're here.
Boss, this way.
Hey, handsome.
Where's my kickback?
What?
Which PR channel are you from?
Get lost.
Pimp Qiang.
What's wrong with you now?
First
first take me to the hospital.
I'm bleeding internally.
Fine.
I'll get that kickback from you later.
You move around this hospital
pretty smoothly.
My daughter's been in
the hospital for two years.
I've been taking care of her.
I know this place inside and out.
I'm familiar.
You sure keep busy.
What good is busy?
Keep drinking like this and I'll be dead.
It's just a shame about my girls,
and my clients.
You...
How many people you got there?
You mean the hookers?
Mm.
See for yourself.
This is just one of my phones.
I've been in this business for years.
All the pimps in these hotels,
only me, Pimp Qiang,
never runs short on girls.
Here, here.
What are you doing?
Come on, come on.
Brother Ming, Brother Ming!
It's all counterfeit.
You in or out?
As long as I'm not drinking,
what difference does it make what I do?
One day.
Traded at one-to-one.
This is your half.
You got any more product?
I can take as much as you've got.
Three imported printing presses.
Cutting machines.
From the very first pen here,
the first sheet of acid-free paper
in our Qiao Family Village,
every process is state-of-the-art.
Green Ghost.
Green Pine and Red-Crowned Crane.
Fire Phoenix.
These print patterns
are handled by the uncles
of the "Song" generation.
Except for
the optically variable ink patterns.
Things like latent images,
micro printing,
and the windowed security thread
those are handled by the
uncles of the "Da" generation.
Those photo-editing
software programs out there,
the photocopiers
they're not even in the same league as us.
Our Qiao Family Village,
in a single day,
can produce over
3.2 million RMB.
In one month,
this warehouse will be filled to the brim.
One hundred million in counterfeit.
You know what leaves here is fake.
But what comes out of the ATM?
That's real.
So what about the old series?
It'll be replaced by the new series soon.
What if we can't move this inventory?
That's why you need to
help me figure this out.
Come.
Come in.
That question you just asked
she's helping me figure it out too.
She painted all of these.
Qiao Qi.
This one...
This one too.
She didn't paint this.
It's a Da Vinci.
The one hanging in the Louvre is hers.
You actually believe that?
You're so gullible.
I'm gonna go change.
Look around.
Qiao Qi.
Well?
Ugly.
You're a Boss now, big or small.
You gotta dress the part.
Too formal, doesn't suit you.
This one's good.
That's an artist's eye for you.
You got an eye for detail.
I like it.
So?
Her paintings
pretty good, right?
Three hundred fifty grand.
My contribution.
This money's not for me.
It doesn't belong to me personally.
It belongs to everyone
in Qiao Family Village.
You hand it over at the ancestral hall.
There's a big feast tonight.
Perfect timing for dinner.
You shouldn't leave.
Stay for it.
Second Uncle Qiao.
Take Brother Ming up.
Find him a good seat for dinner.
Okay.
Brother Yun.
For this year's top ancestral offering...
I'm betting on you.
Little Xiang.
Looking prosperous this year.
But
according to the old rules,
I'll keep it with you.
Thank you for your trust, Second Uncle.
The interest you give is
way better than the bank's.
Of course it is.
I trust you to handle things.
Today's payout day.
A day for celebration.
Many years ago, our village
was dirt poor.
Even the ancestor tablets gathered dust.
Now
the hall is rebuilt.
I paved the roads.
The kids have schools to attend.
The elderly are cared for. Why?
Because in the entire market,
only our Qiao family product
moves without a hitch.
Why is that?
Are we just lucky?
Some guys get busted
on their first run.
Is it just bad luck?
I don't think so.
It's because they flaunted their wealth.
They scared off the God of Wealth
and welcomed back the God of Plague.
So in this place,
when you make money, don't show it off.
Whoever shows off
dies fast.
Right.
Yes.
So our Qiao family
remember our family motto.
What is our motto?
Make a fortune in silence.
Softer! Say it again.
Make a fortune in silence.
Come.
Let's eat.
Good.
Good.
Four million.
Fresh off the press.
Get it arranged.
Take it.
Move it! Out of the way!
Watch where you're going!
Bad luck.
Brother Ming is so buff!
Brother Ming is so handsome!
Brother Ming! Brother Ming's so cool!
Brother Ming! Brother Ming!
Brother Ming, you just got here?
Missed you to death!
Come on, everyone.
Come here, all of you.
Come on, come on.
Come here.
Brother Ming.
All of you.
Brother Ming, we've
been waiting for you long.
If I quit this life, I'll marry you.
Hey, Brother Ming.
God of Wealth Ming.
Over here.
Girls.
Let's get to work.
Collect your pay.
It's real.
My big bro never pays for it.
If he doesn't pay, how's it soliciting?
What do you mean, no
pay means no solicitation?
So handsome.
Police!
The cops are here!
What's the panic?
The cops aren't here for me.
They're here for you!
The fake money!
Vice squad, you're clear to move.
Run!
Little Dao!
Flush the counterfeits!
Brother Ming!
Brother Ming, this way!
Over here!
Stop!
Dispatch!
Call an ambulance!
This way!
What are you hiding?
Get up!
Take him away.
You go that way.
Got it.
Put the knife down!
Captain.
Captain.
We're on the back stairs.
We're closing in on him.
It was just a vice raid!
Why'd you have to risk your life?
Don't come any closer!
Don't do anything stupid!
I'm warning you!
You come closer, I'll jump!
Are you crazy?!
This is a twenty-story drop!
Zheng Ming!
I know it's you.
Don't make another mistake.
Zheng Ming.
Captain.
Captain.
Easy.
Captain.
The girls have all confessed.
It was Zhang Qiang supplying them.
But now that he's dead,
the trail's gone cold again.
It wasn't him.
It was Zheng Ming.
Zheng Ming.
Bro!
Bro!
Something's happened.
Big trouble.
Keep it down.
You'll disturb the ancestors.
The cops raided the route.
And we can't reach anyone.
Tell the brothers
put outside operations on hold.
Also...
Find a few guys.
Cripple both of them.
Brother Ming.
Don't come looking for me.
Get out of here, now.
Brother Yun's got guys
everywhere looking to hack you up.
Stop!
Don't run!
Halt!
Stop running!
Hurry!
Stop!
Have you seen this guy?
Nope.
Who?
Haven't seen him.
Never seen him.
Isn't that
that Zheng Ming?
Have you seen this guy recently?
I'm not close with him.
That asshole?
Haven't seen him in ages.
I've got beef with that guy.
Let me warn you,
if you give false testimony,
you'll face legal consequences.
I'd like to find him too.
Hello, Captain Xie.
I know.
You want the Factory Boss.
Right?
Give me thirty days.
I can deliver the Boss to you.
Why should I trust you?
I was the one who worked
the line at the nightclub.
They trust me.
Thirty days from now,
my daughter is having surgery.
The nightclub's gone,
but the connections remain.
Millions in cash flow every month.
I don't believe he'd just give that up.
Hello, Chief.
There's something I need to report.
My bottom line is a controlled delivery.
If necessary, we move early.
Okay.
Understood.
Zheng Ming.
I'll trust you one last time.
Whether I keep this badge or not
It's all riding on you.
New number.
Thanks.
Captain.
You're really giving him thirty days?
I don't trust him one bit.
Keep a close watch.
Got it.
Coming, coming!
Brother Ming!
Quick, come in, come in.
I thought you didn't visit hookers?
What's the deal now?
You're here in person?
Yeah.
Business is tough all over.
What's going on?
Nothing.
It's fine, he's with me.
Two of you?
That's extra, you know.
No, no, no.
Business is bad.
Clients are either from out of town,
or they think it's too risky.
Okay, I get it.
Some are starving,
others are stuffed.
You think I want this?
These accounts of yours
how many adds do you get a night?
A thousand, maybe two.
What's the use?
Can't even close ten deals.
Listen up, girls.
Anyone not getting any business
you're all coming with me later.
I guarantee you'll make money.
Brother Ming.
I'm not getting any business.
Who else?
Brother Ming.
This time
don't screw us over again.
Yeah, Brother Ming, no
more screwing us over.
Okay, let's go.
Move.
Captain.
We've been monitoring Zheng Ming's phone
for ten days now.
But
not a single suspicious call.
Zheng Ming.
Look.
One account can add so many people.
How many people we got?
That's where the money is.
Screw off.
If we do this
it's like we can keep passing it.
That's how we make money.
Right?
Dayun!
You kill me,
and you'll really have nothing.
My money...
Freeze! Don't move!
Everyone stay still!
Qiao Dayun, take a good look!
The money's right here!
Qiao Daxiang!
I know you're here!
Qiao Daxiang, come out!
Suspect's really on guard.
This isn't two million.
It's two hundred bucks.
No, Brother Xiang.
This is two hundred.
But inside this computer,
there's countless two hundreds.
Take a look.
Move!
Go!
Police! Freeze!
Don't move!
Freeze!
Police! Stop running!
Hold it!
Stop! Don't run! Stay down!
Halt! Don't move!
Stop!
Cut them off!
Quick!
Freeze!
Stop right there!
Don't run!
Hold still!
Halt!
The Boss got away again.
It's fine.
Zheng Ming wants to go digital.
The Boss will definitely take the bait.
I've already informed the tech department.
We won't let a single IP address slip by.
The resolution on this is terrible.
Have a drink.
Did you have a good time last night?
I was just trying to figure out
how to introduce you
to the people of Qiao Family Village.
This works out perfectly.
You marry my sister,
and naturally you become
part of the Qiao family.
Your sister?
Qiao Qi.
My cousin.
What'd you think?
Here.
Sign the new internet cafe contract.
What are you afraid of?
Right here.
Zheng Ming.
Any word on the Boss?
The Boss is too slick.
He handed the online business over to me.
He's keeping a low profile.
Once I get a chance
to meet up with him,
I'll contact you right away.
Remember,
you've got twenty days left.
Brother Ming!
We can't keep up with the chats!
Then chat properly.
I've talked myself thin!
Before it was one-on-one.
Now it's one-on-five!
My head hurts so bad!
What do I do?
Hey.
You know what a forum is?
You know about posting threads?
Create burner accounts.
Twenty each.
Forums, I know those.
Brother Ming.
What's the angle here?
RMB and Stamp Collecting.
Leave it to me.
Open your browser.
What the hell?
Why's the internet down again?
Every day it cuts out!
How are we supposed to work?
No connection again!
I'll fix it.
Little Dao!
You on the phone hitting on chicks again?
What's the deal?
I'm not hitting on anyone!
Just checking my balance.
Can you fix it or not?
Hello?
Hello?
We need to get ADSL.
What's ADSL?
Broadband.
Xiao Hua, what are you doing here?
Brother Ming.
I can't handle this alone anymore!
Brother Ming!
We can't handle it either!
Hey there, interested
in currency collecting?
RMB collecting, you interested?
Check out currency collecting!
What the...?
Who opened the window?
Close it, now!
Brother Ming.
Lately
the news has been reporting,
folks are complaining.
Not enough real cash,
too many counterfeits.
The way I see it,
that's bullshit.
In this world,
isn't there plenty of smuggling?
Plenty of counterfeit goods?
Who knows, maybe your own son's a fake.
The world's a blur.
You know what's real and what's fake.
Real becomes fake, fake becomes real.
Fake becomes real, real becomes fake.
Just remember one thing.
The cash in your hand
whether it's real or fake
if you spend it, it's real money.
Yeah!
From now on
the long-haul jobs
leave 'em to us.
Thanks, Brother Ming!
For bringing us in on the score!
Thanks, Brother Ming!
Hey.
Clean this up.
On it, on it. Where do I put it?
Someone get in here and clean this up.
Bro.
It won't fit!
Relax.
We'll deposit it this afternoon.
I'm putting it in the fridge then!
Fine, do it.
Brother Ming! Brother Ming!
Brother Ming.
Youyou's surgery money
should be enough now, right?
So do we
keep going?
Of course we do.
What we're doing
the cops will find out sooner or later.
While I can still make money,
I need to save up more for Youyou.
Otherwise, when I get locked up,
and Youyou's out here all alone
how's she gonna survive?
You'd skin a flea for its hide!
Every bit of nutrition counts.
I know the rules.
Where's the Boss?
There's a cold storage out back.
A distribution point.
The Boss is inside settling accounts.
This meat's fresh.
Police!
Freeze! Don't move!
Get down! Down!
Stop!
Police!
Down! Don't move!
Hands on your head!
Get down!
Freeze!
Fellow officers.
Progress in the counterfeit case
has achieved a significant phased victory.
Multiple counterfeit warehouses
located within our city
have been dismantled.
I hope everyone can keep up the good work
to bring this major counterfeit
case plaguing our citizens
to a final resolution.
Alright.
Chief.
The numbers don't add up.
Everyone, fall in!
He said, what's this little
pain in the wind and rain?
I really like something
a friend of mine said.
Well, not exactly a friend.
An old acquaintance.
He said something once.
I thought it was great.
Make a fortune in silence.
Everyone.
Make a fortune in silence.
Make a fortune in silence.
You sure?
You really won't come with me?
I'll wait for you to come back.
Go on, get to work.
A-Xiang said,
while he's gone,
I'm in charge.
Brother Ming! Brother Ming!
Little Meng, recalculate that carefully.
Chief, you were dead right.
He's definitely playing both sides.
Look.
He's got quite an appetite.
Thanks, Brother Ming.
Once this heat dies down,
this money might not be so easy to come by.
It's not easy earning a buck.
Everyone, be smart with your spending.
Brother Ming.
That sounded like you're
about to get locked up.
Shut your mouth.
If you can't talk right, donate your mouth.
I'm heading out first.
Little Dao.
Take care of everyone.
Little baby, go to sleep.
Sleep well, good baby.
Little baby.
Go to sleep.
Sleep tight.
Hey there.
Interested in currency collecting?
So do these people
know that what they're getting
is counterfeit cash?
Some of them know.
The dumb ones don't.
You new here?
Yes.
I'll teach you.
Police!
Stop! Don't run!
I gotta go.
Halt!
Nobody move! Hands on your heads! Get down!
Now! Hands on your head! Squat!
Get down!
The numbers are off.
You're double-dipping.
You think we cops are idiots?
And I also know
the print shop is under your control now.
You are the biggest
source of the counterfeits.
Zheng Ming.
You're a real criminal now.
So you're here to arrest me.
Go ahead.
I'm not arresting you right now.
There's only one reason.
It's because I believe in who you are.
You can still be saved.
I'm giving you one last choice.
Within three days
bring me the Factory Boss.
Or you'll never see your daughter again.
Hey, bro, what's going on?
Bro! Bro! Bro!
You drunk?
Let go of me!
Have you lost your mind?
This money is ours!
My factory!
I call the shots!
The factory is yours.
The money belongs to everyone!
Get the hell away from me!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Little Dao!
Hang in there!
Little Dao!
Hold on!
You gotta hang on!
Little Dao!
Can't go in!
You can't!
Calm down, Little Dao!
Just calm down!
You're listening to FM 94.7.
Zhenhai News Update.
Recently
the local area has seen
a large circulation of
counterfeit banknotes.
This phenomenon
has drawn widespread attention
from all sectors of society.
Notably, the serial number.
RL24164673 has been flagged by police

Listeners are advised to be vigilant.
We did everything we could.
Sorry.
The serial number RL24164673
on various counterfeit bills
has been flagged by police.
Listeners are advised
to remain alert.
Murderer.
Scum.
He got his own good brother killed.
Yeah, exactly.
Anyone with him is cursed.
He's the criminal making fake bills.
Right, that's him.
Why is scum like that still alive?
Hope the cops get him soon.
He's so shameless.
He's human trash.
Tell me about it.
Doesn't look like a good guy at all.
Qiao Qi.
Thanks for looking after me all this time.
You should run.
The cops
they could bust us any minute.
I'm not running.
We have to find Qiao Daxiang.
If I can find him,
I wouldn't have had to burn
the place down to save myself.
We have to find him.
He made off with all the village's savings.
In the end, I couldn't outplay him.
With this
we can lure him back.
Who else knows?
You're the first one I told.
What I gave him was a fake.
Why give this to me?
I know you're working with the cops.
I showed you the transaction info too.
I sent you all the transaction records.
What more do you want from me?
When do you plan to start production?
Use the old plates first.
You're going to run.
What about the people in the village?
They'll be fine.
The cops are after me.
What about me?
We leave together.
That master plate
it's my ticket to a new life.
So you've got it all planned out.
Yes.
I've wanted out for a long time.
The money we've made
it's enough for several lifetimes.
But I couldn't get away.
Not until I met...
Zheng Ming, the perfect fall guy.
It's a blessing from the gods.
As long as I get the
copies signed by him
the equipment contracts,
the ink purchases
all signed with Zheng Ming's name.
He's the one who's been the Boss all along.
No one will suspect a thing.
As long as he can
keep the villagers' trust
As long as they point the finger at him
we can...
So
you had me draw him.
Had me watch him.
It was all for this.
I did it for us.
I really did it for us.
The cops have been on my tail for a while.
If I don't run now, it'll be too late.
Before I go
there's one last thing.
Can you help me out?
Sleep with Zheng Ming.
Tie him to our Qiao family.
I...
I had no choice.
Everything I did was for us.
Please help me.
Just this one sacrifice.
That night...
I drugged you.
Nothing happened between us.
Hey, Captain Xie.
The master plate for the new RMB...
I got it.
What?
It's not the same!
No, no, no.
Joke.
Give me my money.
Give me my money!
Okay.
Give me box.
Okay?
Give me box.
Wait
Wait...
Wait me one day.
One day.
Hello?
We're almost at the hospital.
Don't go anywhere.
Okay, got it.
Doctor, where's my daughter?
I don't know.
Zheng Ming!
Zheng Ming!
What are you running for?
My daughter's been taken!
I have to save her!
If your daughter's taken,
the police will save her!
Stop chasing me!
Stop running!
Go!
Zheng Ming!
If you run, you'll never clear your name!
Stop running around!
Put the master plate
inside the Dragon Pearl!
Where's the Dragon Pearl?
Find it yourself!
Where's my daughter?
Your daughter won't die.
The Qiao family's carrying her.
To the salt-stove altar,
back through the village gate,
The sparks lead the way
through clouds of dust and smoke.
He who climbs first to
the summit without fear,
Is a mortal body with the soul of a god.
Police business.
Please open this up.
I'm sorry.
Officer.
The village is holding an
ancestral ceremony today.
It's not convenient for outsiders.
I said
police business.
Open the gate.
You don't understand, do you?
What'd you say?
What'd you say?
Sister Qi.
Sister Qi.
On this auspicious day,
all who come are guests.
Let them in.
Sister Qi!
They're police!
Does our village
have something to hide?
What are you afraid of?
We're just going in to find someone.
It won't disrupt your ceremony.
Only you can come in.
Says who?
Quiet!
Argue and no one gets in.
You...
Fine.
I'll go alone.
I'll go in first.
You guys find another way in.
Attention all units.
The criminal group
may use the parade as cover.
Distinguish between them and civilians.
Brother Ming, go, go, go!
Daddy!
Zheng Ming!
Shove the master plate in it!
Zheng Ming!
What are you doing?!
Xie Jiatong!
Give it to me!
The girl playing Mu Guiying is my daughter!
Daddy!
Give it here!
Daddy!
Baby.
Don't be scared.
Daddy.
Xie Jiatong!
Why are you alone?
Don't let go!
Protect that master plate!
You too, don't let go!
Let go!
Go!
Brother Ming!
We support you!
You got this!
Daddy!
Youyou!
Freeze!
Brother Ming! Go!
Brother Yun!
Youyou!
Daddy!
Where's the master plate?
Youyou.
Daddy's going to help the
police catch the bad guys.
Wait for me.
Okay?
Get him!
Hold him down!
Zheng Ming!
Xie Jiatong!
The ancestral hall!
What are you doing?
You can't leave!
You've disgraced our ancestors!
You've disgraced the Qiao ancestral hall!
I disgraced the ancestors?
I disgraced the Qiao ancestral hall?
I'm the one who set
up the ancestral tablets!
I built this hall!
I started the business for everyone!
I led you all to wealth!
They shouldn't be
worshipping the ancestors here.
They should be worshipping me!
Brother Xiang.
You're not serious, are you?
I can't believe you'd take
everyone's money.
Shut up!
Little Xiang.
I watched you grow up.
How dare you say such things
in front of the ancestors!
Have you no shame?
You're insane!
Are you kidding me?
What the hell is wrong with you?!
What are you doing?
"Everyone's money"?
It's all my money!
Without me,
could you have made all this cash?
Second Uncle.
You old bastard.
When your wife got sick,
didn't I pay for her treatment?
Uncle Chang.
Your kids' education
didn't I pay for every single one of them?
And you're stopping me?
Are you all insane?
Have you lost your minds?!
Easy! Calm down!
Don't do anything rash.
Calm down.
Put the gun down!
Calm down and drop the gun!
Don't be impulsive!
Calm down.
Come on.
And you have the nerve to cry.
Don't do anything crazy.
Ever since you were little...
I paid for your food, your drink.
Paid for your schooling.
And this is how you repay
me? Pointing a gun at me?
It hurts so much.
Come and get the money!
Youyou!
Daddy!
Quick, stay back!
