Under Current (2025) Movie Script
Uncle To, this one's full.
Thanks, Wai Ling.
You're welcome.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
The Tsai Bat Tong Annual Charity Gala...
...officially begins now.
First,
let's welcome our President, Mr. Ko.
Good evening, everyone.
It's a great honor...
...to be here with all of your kind souls today.
It's because of your love and donations...
...that Tsai Bat Tong has been able to help...
...so many people in need over the past year.
On behalf of...
...every single person who has received our aid,
I want to express our sincerest thanks.
Every single penny you've donated...
...will go to the people who need it most.
Mr. Ko, let's go! Move!
(CLEAR MY NAME)
That night,
I met Siu Chin Hung at my friend's birthday party.
We stayed out late.
I got really drunk.
Siu Chin Hung offered to send me home.
I fell asleep in the car.
When I woke up, I was at his place.
And then...
...he raped me.
Is the Siu Chin Hung you mentioned...
...present in the court today?
Please identify him.
That's him.
Nothing further, Your Honor.
Defense counsel.
Miss Yuen.
According to the statement from your friend,
Cheung Mei Ying, the birthday girl,
she mentioned to you beforehand...
...that she was going to introduce you to a rich heir.
Is that true?
Hi. Hello...
Hello
Yes.
According to the testimony from the security guard
at Mr. Siu's building,
he saw you walk through
the lobby that night,
laughing and chatting with Siu Chin Hung.
That contradicts your claim
that you woke up once you were at his place.
How do you explain that?
He's lying!
And finally,
my client claims that...
...before you had intercourse that night,
you put the condom on for him yourself.
Yes or no?
I had to protect myself.
Yes or no?
Yes!
Nothing further, Your Honor.
Boss, I have an appointment
with another client.
I won't be heading back to the office just yet.
Thanks.
Barrister Ma!
I really owe you one.
From now on, I'll have my dad's company...
...send all their cases to your firm.
Just not this kind of case.
What?
Winning on a technicality
doesn't mean justice was served.
What's that supposed to mean?
Scum!
- I'll kill you, you piece of scum!
- Dad!
- Let go!
- Dad, please stop!
I won't let you get away with this!
- Dad, are you okay?
- How could you help a man like that?!
You'll both come to a bad end!
Let go!
- Stop!
- Let's go, Dad!
All of you, stop! Calm down.
Let's talk this through.
- Stop!
- Scum!
You alright?
Smile. Your salary includes hazard pay.
I'll raise your fee next time.
Barrister Ma.
Hey, hey.
Mr. Wat wants to see you
as soon as you're back.
Mr. Siu called to complain.
Daddy.
Who left these A4 papers here?
Have Mary take them out.
Oh, this is recycled paper.
I ordered it for a friend's company.
Just leave it here for now.
A complaint from Siu?
You're a nearly perfect man...
...except for your stubbornness.
True.
I'll handle it.
One more complaint and you'll be blacklisted.
My salary includes hazard pay, too.
Didn't we just have an audit a few months ago?
We did.
But it seems there's a problem
with Tsai Bat Tong's accounts,
So they have to re-audit.
That's strange.
You think so too, huh?
Those two auditors have been here for a while,
but they haven't even glanced at me.
They must be gay.
So? Find anything?
Nothing.
You office workers...
...have to come all this way for a smoke?
Can't be helped.
That's the life of an employee.
Excuse me. I'm all out.
Got a spare?
Sure. Here you are.
Police officers need a warrant
to search a premises.
So, officers...
...mind if I see it?
What? Officers?
Your actions constitute an illegal search.
Our company sent us to audit the books.
How is that illegal?
You're just randomly mashing buttons
on that calculator.
That was a five-digit number,
and you pressed seven keys.
Also,
your phone charm...
...is a souvenir from the Police Force's
175th anniversary.
I doubt many civilians would use one.
No wonder Barrister Ma wins all his cases.
You're sharp.
And you are?
Criminal Investigation Department.
Sergeant Or Ting Pong.
Officer Or, Kowloon East Regional HQ.
The warrant?
Some things are just a formality.
The truth is what matters in an investigation.
So you don't have one.
Who's your superior?
And your badge numbers?
Not talking? Fine.
I'll just call the police complaints hotline.
Or Ting Pong, right?
We received a tip-off...
...that someone is using Tsai Bat Tong
for money laundering.
Our firm would never be involved in such things.
I believe you.
I'm investigating Tsai Bat Tong.
So I hope...
...you can hand over all of Tsai Bat Tong's
documents entrusted to your firm.
Barrister Ma, please.
Just help us out, alright?
Please. Someone is dead.
A life is at stake.
Think of it as police-public cooperation.
Thank you.
Cancel all my events for the next few days.
Keep the reporters from digging this up again.
For the 12th,
the new branch's groundbreaking ceremony,
I'll have the North District director
attend in your place.
Also,
for any major charity fundraisers
in the next two months,
double all donations.
I'd rather pay more
to protect Tsai Bat Tong's reputation.
Understood.
Is there something else?
Why is two hundred million missing?
I've already confirmed with the bank.
Starting a year ago,
there's been a discrepancy between
our financial reports and the actual deposits.
The amount is always less.
It seems Yeung To has been stealing
from the company.
Weren't you supposed to be keeping an eye
on that bastard?
So where's the money now?
I don't know. We're still looking.
Mr. Kah must not find out about this.
Noted.
Damn it...
One Year Ago
Hey Yeung, perfect timing.
Do you think the blue one suits me,
or...
...is the Grey one better?
Blue.
I think so too.
Oh, right.
This year's charity gala
was a huge success.
I've scheduled a meeting
with the big boss this afternoon
to discuss opening two new branches
next year.
Mr. Ko.
I received your proposal
to increase next year's administrative budget
by ten percent.
I'm afraid that's not possible.
Why not?
This year, the ratio of donations
to administrative expenses
is already 100 to 50.
In other words, for every $100 donated,
$50 goes to administrative costs.
Let me ask you.
Without administrative fees,
who pays your salary?
You might as well tell me the sky is blue.
Mr. Ko,
we are a non-profit organization.
At this rate,
any higher and the Revenue Department
will investigate us.
Let them investigate.
You're the one they'll arrest.
You're the one doing the books.
I'm just kidding, Yeung.
It's been in the news.
Plenty of NGOs have a ratio of 100 to 75.
So 100 to 60 for us isn't too much, is it?
Mr. Ko,
I really can't cook the books like that.
Have you ever heard of...
...something called "extraordinary expenses"?
For example,
say the ceiling of a branch is about to collapse.
It needs repairs, right?
Must be more than thirty million right there.
Or,
say some old facilities at a branch need maintenance...
- Another few million.
- But we've never done that.
Are you losing your mind!
We've always done it this way.
We're just scaling up!
I know what you want.
Take it.
Consider it a deposit for your work.
I can't take this money.
Why not?
It's simple.
Without alerting anyone,
you take a portion of the monthly administrative fees,
spread it across several accounts,
and use it to buy stocks.
Then, you transfer the profits...
...to my offshore accounts.
A man of your talents can handle this.
The money's yours. Don't hold it so tight.
We're on the same team now.
I'll introduce you to the boss later.
Congratulations on joining
the for-profit core of our non-profit.
If you can't think of any "extraordinary expenses,"
feel free to come to me.
I'm an expert at this stuff.
Last month, at the Tsai Bat Tong charity gala,
the organization's CFO, Yeung To,
was found dead by hanging.
After a month-long police investigation,
the possibility of homicide has been ruled out.
The investigation is now proceeding
as a suicide.
President Ko,
there are rumors that Yeung To's death
is related to the Tsai Bat Tong money laundering case.
Do you have any comment?
As the president of Tsai Bat Tong, I solemnly declare...
that these rumors
are baseless and malicious slander.
Our organization reserves the right
to pursue legal action against rumor-mongers.
Second row.
Third.
Fourth.
Good.
Everyone, take a break.
Front kick is all about distance.
The goal is to close that distance.
Wow, that's a useful move.
I could kick you in the head
before you even knew it.
Ka Wai.
I teach you Taekwondo not so you can start fights,
but if you ever need to defend yourself,
you can use this move.
First,
you create a diversion.
Look here.
The purpose of the diversion...
...is to distract your opponent.
Then, kick.
Thank you, Fung.
Headmaster, not this again,
treating me like a stranger?
You watched me grow up.
True. And I watched you go bad, too.
Are you free on Saturday?
I have a date with Man Ying. What's up?
Do you remember our old primary school?
It's been closed for years.
Not enough students, right?
I lent it to a social enterprise last year.
They're planning to renovate it soon,
and they're looking for volunteers to help.
I was hoping you could take the kids there.
But if you're busy, it's okay.
I just think it's a good organization.
Which one?
Tsai Bat Tong. Have you heard of it?
Ah. What time on Saturday?
Aren't you on a date with Man Ying?
I can reschedule.
Morning.
Morning, Uncle To.
Morning.
Uncle To.
Thank you.
Wai Ling made dessert soup.
- Come and get some!
- Everyone come on!
- Feel free to get one.
- Good.
[Branch Checklist]
Uncle To.
Have a bowl.
Thank you!
You caramelized the sugar.
The sweetness is perfect.
That's right.
Please come to our branch more often,
I guarantee you'll eat well.
I'd come every day
even if you didn't ask.
You know I love chatting with you.
You're the only one who listens to my ramblings.
Well, you tell great stories.
As long as you don't find me annoying.
Five Weeks Later
Careful.
Don't break anything, you hear?
Mr. Ma.
Everyone, have some water.
Okay, thank you.
Thanks for your help, Mr. Ma.
Miss Wan.
Your volunteers are doing some real hard labor.
Sorry about that.
I told Headmaster Tsang
we'd be moving heavy things.
I'm just kidding.
It feels good to help!
And the kids get to burn off some energy.
Building a swimming pool must cost a lot.
It does.
The main branch is very good at fund raising.
Manager Wan.
Excuse me.
You're here, Mr. Ku.
This way.
Are all the donation records here?
Yes, all the ones Uncle To
handled are here.
Alright, thank you.
I'll take these with me.
I'll contact you if I need anything else.
Okay, Mr. Ku.
Sorry.
Miss Wan,
where does this box of books go?
Please, call me Wai Ling.
These are unsorted.
Put them in the old office.
I'll show you.
The headmaster told me...
...this branch has been opened for less than a year.
Renovating so soon?
I think it's quite new, too.
But the main branch gave the order, so what can we do?
You guys are just that good at fund raising.
You can put it over there.
Oops, sorry.
So this is where it was.
Yours?
It's Uncle To's.
He left it behind.
You mean... the Yeung To from the news?
Yes.
Do you have a tissue?
One second.
Is there anything else I can help with?
I still have a few more boxes of books.
Follow me.
This box needs to go downstairs.
Alright.
Done. I found it.
Has anyone seen
Uncle To's blue notebook?
What's wrong?
The notebook is missing.
I'll help you look for it.
Okay.
Help! Help!
Mom!
Dad's birthday is coming.
Don't forget the gift.
Okay.
...a burn injury case.
Yuen Ho Yee, the woman who accused Siu Chin Hung,
son of JP Siu Yau Wai, of sexual assault,
was found dead by suicide
at her residence at 9 PM tonight.
A suicide note was found at the scene.
A preliminary investigation
has found no signs of foul play.
During our live report,
Yuen Ho Yi's father, Yuen Chi Man,
fell from a height.
Our channel's cameraman
captured this exclusive footage.
The justice system is a joke!
That bastard Siu Chin Hung!
He raped my daughter,
and the court let him walk free?
Now my daughter is dead!
It's all because of lawyers like you!
Isn't it strange?
I turn around, and the notebook is gone.
So, you're agreeing to help me, right?
Thank you.
When Yeung To died,
the words "Clear My Name" were on his shirt.
Could Tsai Bat Tong
really be laundering money?
That matches our tip-off.
Who was the source?
An anonymous whistle blower.
The kind that just mails in a letter.
You investigate every letter you receive?
We use our brains to analyze them,
Barrister Ma.
If a letter claimed you had two mistresses...
...and three wives,
should we investigate that too?
The letter arrived at our office
the day after Yeung To died.
Isn't that a little odd?
So, what have you found?
Nothing.
Because you still haven't agreed to help us.
Are you done interrogating me?
Sorry. Force of habit.
Sorry about what happened in the alley.
So now, even you think
there's more to this, right?
No comment.
Okay, look.
Yeung To's notebook was taken.
It's very likely connected to his death.
Since you've read the notebook,
are there any clues inside you think we should investigate?
The contents were a mess.
The writing was fragmented, incomprehensible.
However,
I saw two addresses on one of the pages.
They really stuck in my mind.
Where?
Here?
He likes the corned beef sandwiches here?
They are pretty delicious.
Before you arrived,
I asked the owner.
He remembers seeing Yeung To here,
but he didn't know who he was.
Impressive.
You're even doing my job for me.
What about the second address?
It should be here.
It is or it isn't.
Don't give me "should be."
Room six.
Catching a cheater?
Looking for a lost child?
Or a debtor?
I heard you used to work for the governor.
That no secret is safe from you?
Nine months ago
Let's talk upstairs.
What do you want to find out?
I need to know where all the capital is flowing,
who's the big boss behind it all,
and find two more people for me.
I don't usually ask about my clients' motives,
but this case is too high-risk.
Here's the deposit.
You'll get the other half when it's done.
A man who knows what he's doing.
Wait for my good news.
Fat Ming must have stepped out.
He'll be back soon.
Go on up and wait.
Thanks, man.
Ma, are you alright?
I'm fine.
Stop running!
So be it.
Hey, coffee.
Thanks.
You alright?
I was even worse the first time I saw a dead body.
I threw up everywhere. You're handling it well.
It's not my first time.
Being a cop...
...is a really dangerous job.
Every job has its difficulties.
Thanks for your help this time.
You can go now.
Go home and get some rest.
Kai Sang Construction Group
Where are you?
It's getting late.
Don't tell me you forgot Dad's birthday.
I'm on my way!
Thank you.
What took you so long?
At least he's here.
Come on, sit down. Let's eat.
Daddy,
happy birthday.
I'm sure you'll like it.
I'll love anything my darling daughter gives me.
Thank you!
Sorry, Master.
I didn't prepare anything.
I reminded you ages ago.
You're the one who forgot.
Daddy, it's from both of us.
Why are you so forgetful lately?
I had something important to do.
I know your work is important,
but Daddy's birthday is important too.
Yuen Ho Yee committed suicide yesterday.
The plaintiff from my last case.
I know you probably don't think that's important.
Can we not talk about this today?
You have something to say to me?
Daddy...
When I was in university,
I sat in on one of your trials.
I remember it clearly.
You used the post-WWII Nuremberg trials...
...as your argument.
You pointed out how the Nazi war criminals...
...defended themselves by claiming
they were "just following orders."
But in the end,
they were all found guilty.
Because the soldiers who carried out
the massacre...
...could not hide behind so-called "orders"...
...to absolve themselves of their crimes.
You called it moral conscience.
And with that point,
you turned the case around and won.
From that moment on, I swore...
...that I would become a barrister just like you.
This is a contract from four years ago,
when Tsai Bat Tong entrusted our firm...
...with managing their accounts and funds.
The signatories are you and Yeung To.
Last year, Tsai Bat Tong's revenue
was over 500 million.
70% of that was cash donations.
That's almost 350 million.
And of that money, 200 million...
...came from anonymous donations.
They have many expenses:
wages, catering,
transportation, maintenance,
accounting, and so on.
But the strangest part is,
behind all these service providers...
...is a single overseas company
called "OUTsider."
And last year, the total profit they made
from Tsai Bat Tong...
...was also around 200 million.
The exact same amount
as the anonymous donations.
What does any of this...
...have to do with Daddy?
It's a criminal mode of operating.
The anonymous donations...
...are dirty money.
Providing services is the method.
And the whole process
is called money laundering.
Our law firm...
...is only responsible for managing our clients' accounts and
funds.
As for anything else,
legally,
we bear no responsibility.
So we're also defending ourselves by "just following orders"?
Has moral conscience become irrelevant?
Happy birthday.
Daddy, I'll go check on him.
Hey,
don't you have dementia?
You're still as sharp as ever.
Dementia means you lose your memory,
not your intelligence.
Your turn.
You're distracting me.
It's an unfair victory.
Excuse me,
could I get some more hot water?
Yes, right away.
Your turn.
Checkmate.
It's been a while.
Your skills have improved.
Do you remember
why you asked me here today?
3:35 Teahouse - Plan - Meeting
In your condition,
there's no way you can succeed.
With your help, I will.
But what you're doing is very dangerous.
I'll soon forget my own name.
I don't want to just disappear from this world.
I have to do one last good thing.
I'm sorry.
I can't help you.
Any leads on the 200 million?
Still looking, Mr. Ko.
I need more time.
You're all useless.
A bunch of good-for-nothings.
Hold this.
Yes, Mr. Kah.
This Friday,
come see me at 3 PM.
Got it. Friday at 3 PM.
Is the trouble
with Tsai Bat Tong sorted out?
It should be fine.
It's just the reporters...
Go on, you trash.
Get out!
Come back!
Leak the story that Yeung To
embezzled 200 million from the company.
Why, Mr. Ko?
It's better for Mr. Kah
to hear it from the media...
...than from me directly.
It will also distract the reporters...
...so they stop hounding me
about the money laundering.
Do it.
Understood.
This company, OUTsider,
made about 200 million last year.
That's the pattern.
Our firm is only the custodian.
Legally, we're not responsible.
And I can't prove the source
of the money is illegal.
Sorry.
Yes?
How interesting.
Send it over.
Oh, you sent it?
I'll take a look. Thanks.
Hey, got something.
There's a new development in the suicide of Yeung To,
Tsai Bat Tong's CFO.
We've received news that...
...200 million in cash is missing
from Tsai Bat Tong's accounts.
The organization suspects...
...the former CFO, Yeung To,
of embezzling the funds.
They've already reported it to the police.
200 million again.
Blame the dead man.
How convenient.
If Yeung To really did it,
then his death makes perfect sense.
It's not impossible.
But what would he need all that money for?
It's useless.
He couldn't have spent it.
What do you mean?
Alzheimer's disease?
Mr. Yeung,
have you noticed anything unusual
in your daily life recently?
I can walk and jump.
Nothing's wrong.
Based on my diagnosis,
you have Alzheimer's disease.
What's that?
It's a type of cognitive impairment,
a form of dementia.
Currently, there is no cure.
In the early stages,
you'll experience memory loss.
As it progresses,
you will gradually lose various bodily functions.
The average life expectancy for a patient...
...is only three to nine years.
I hope you can be mentally prepared.
Yeung To found out he had this disease
a year ago.
He planned to steal Tsai Bat Tong's money...
...while he still could.
He must have thought
since it was dirty money,
they wouldn't dare report it.
But he didn't expect
they'd hire someone to kill him.
He died for money.
End of story.
But the money would've been useless to him.
You said it yourself.
Maybe he wasn't doing it for himself.
He has no family.
Well, maybe he just wanted
to live lavishly in his final days.
I'll investigate the rest.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Thank you very much.
I saw a symbol
in Yeung To's notebook.
It's the logo
of a drug rehabilitation center.
I'll bet you a hundred bucks
he's never been here.
Then why did you come with me?
Wing,
you have visitors.
Who?
Mok Tsz Wing?
Take a look. Have you seen this man?
About a year ago.
He came to visit me in prison.
Said he was a social worker
from the Social Welfare Department.
He was my guarantor
to get into this rehab center.
He was good to you.
But I haven't seen him for two months.
Did you know him before that?
Go away!
Don't come back here again!
Leave!
He's the father
who abandoned my family.
Yeung To is your father?
I recognized him.
I knew it was him
the first time he showed up.
My mom kept a photo of him.
She hid it, never showed it to me.
Once, when I was jonesing for a fix,
I found it
while rummaging through her drawer.
I was sure he was that bastard.
Did you two ever acknowledge each other?
Why should I?
An irresponsible man like that,
just showing up and pretending to care.
Did he leave you anything?
Leave me what?
Regret.
I grew up without a father.
Look how I turned out.
Just regret.
What happened to Yeung To?
He died a month ago.
We're still investigating.
There's no hardship we can't overcome.
The most important thing
is for a family to be together and happy.
Okay, thanks.
Keep surveilling. Thanks.
The results are in.
Mok Tsz Wing's bank account...
...is completely empty.
He's even in debt to the bank.
Looks like he wasn't lying.
So?
Any other theories?
Besides Yeung To,
who's the next biggest suspect
for stealing the 200 million?
Ko Shing Man.
Will he even show up?
We have to wait, either way.
Hey, Mr. Ko is coming out.
That way.
President Ko!
Regarding the rumors of money laundering
at Tsai Bat Tong,
do you plan to release your financial reports...
...and give the public an explanation?
I've already explained this matter many times.
I have nothing further to add.
Thank you.
Everyone, please step back.
I have a copy of your expenditure records here.
It shows that...
...for several consecutive years,
your extraordinary expenses...
...have increased by 80 percent.
Do you have any comment on that?
How did you get that document?
Which press are you from?
STV
Why aren't you hounding me
about Yeung To embezzling funds,
but about this?
Mr. Ko.
We have no comment!
I'll take my leave.
The public has a right to know...
...where their donations are being spent!
You know I can sue you for defamation.
I'm not afraid!
- President Ko, do you have any response?
- No!
Thirteen months ago
Be sharp when you meet the boss.
Don't worry, Mr. Ko.
Mr. Kah only wants to see you and me.
You wait here.
Stop.
I'm so sorry.
Been waiting long?
Not at all, Mr. Kah.
We just arrived.
Have a seat.
You've been very popular lately.
Your face is in every magazine.
Mr. Kah, the thing is...
Mr. Kah?
Fire that waitress.
Yes, sir.
How are things?
I've met with the barristers.
They all say we're sure to win this case.
No matter what you do,
you rely on one thing, reputation.
Once you lose your reputation,
everything you've built will collapse.
Of course I understand that, Mr. Kah.
But this time,
I feel...
...someone has deliberately set us up.
Otherwise, those reporters...
...couldn't have gotten our internal documents.
And Yeung To's death
...seems more complicated than it appears.
Oh, right.
About Yeung To stealing the 200 million...
...is it possible he didn't do it?
Mr. Kah, I swear...
...I will find out...
...who is pulling the strings behind the scenes,
and get that money back.
Good.
I won't disappoint you again.
I'll be leaving, Mr. Kah.
I won't disturb you any longer.
Pong.
Isn't the case closed? Still investigating?
Just a little longer.
You know me well.
I'm investigating
...the murder of that private investigator.
Hey, are you sure you don't know
the deceased at all?
What do you mean?
We cracked the deceased's computer.
It has your information in it.
I also read his ledger.
Yeung To gave the PI half a million.
Cash.
How generous.
It seems very likely
he stole the 200 million.
Oh yes, I found it. I found it.
Okay.
Excuse me, Mr. Wat.
I told Barrister Ma
you weren't available.
Okay, okay, I'll call you back.
Okay, bye.
What's wrong?
I can't be Ko Shing Man's defense attorney.
This is a major case.
Besides, the prosecution
doesn't have enough evidence.
It's a winning hand.
I believe Ko Shing Man
...definitely embezzled donations.
Where's the evidence?
Be mature.
This firm will depend on you from now on.
Sorry...
Are you acting like a
professional barrister right now?
I'm acting like a human being.
If you still consider me your master,
take the case.
I don't intend to be the war criminal
who was "just following orders."
I'm downstairs. Have new Intel.
How's it going?
Just getting off, or just starting?
What's the new Intel?
There's something...
...quite interesting.
This letter.
It was mailed to the UK
under my name and then returned to me.
Inside was this document.
It's a full record of
Tsai Bat Tong's expenses
for the past year,
and information on
Ko Shing Man's private accounts.
This isn't something just anyone could get.
It's identical to the Tsai Bat Tong files
I saw at the firm.
It doesn't look fake.
But even with this document,
we still can't prove...
...that Ko Shing Man stole the 200 million.
Forget about this for a second.
Help me figure something else out.
Did you know
the murdered PI investigated me?
There was a file on his computer...
...with all my information.
At the same time,
he also wrote an evaluation report on me.
Yeung To hired him to investigate you?
Another file on the computer
was about this female reporter.
She doesn't know Yeung To either.
They only met once, nine months ago.
But she also recently received
a tip-off letter about Tsai Bat Tong.
Miss Kwok.
This is a small token from my client.
He hopes you'll be merciful...
...and not publish the story.
Who is your client?
You should know very well.
I don't care who he is.
You go back and tell him...
...I can't be bought.
This reporter has integrity.
She's trustworthy.
My investigation confirms it.
You didn't have to test her with that charade.
People are unpredictable.
It's safer to be sure.
This cop, don't be fooled
by his goofy appearance.
He comes from a family of cops.
His father received the Silver Whistle Award,
but he's buried in Gallant Garden.
He was born to hate evil.
If he gets a whiff of something,
he won't let go.
There aren't many like him
in the entire force.
He's a perfect fit for your requirements.
What do you mean?
So, you're saying...
...Yeung To intentionally led me
and the reporter...
...to investigate the Tsai Bat Tong scandal?
Obviously.
But the problem is,
he himself was implicated...
...in false accounting
and embezzlement.
Why would he get someone
to investigate himself?
What's the next step?
Next step?
If I have the right
I'd have Ko Shing Man
under 24-hour surveillance.
But I don't have that authority.
Stop.
Only you.
Wait for me in the car.
This way.
Cheers.
Mr. Kah.
So this is the one?
Because of you, I lost 200 million.
Idiot! Useless fool!
If this happened in Japan,
you'd have to cut off a finger to atone.
Do you know that,
you piece of trash?
Mr. Kah, this is...
This is Mr. Noguchi.
The 200 million you lost
belonged to him.
He said,
in Japan, if you make a mistake,
you must cut off a finger to atone.
This is the most basic show of sincerity.
You caused the Oni Gang
such a huge loss.
How do you plan to show your sincerity?
- Mr. Kah, the 200 million...
- Hey.
What are you waiting for?
Get on with it.
He's asking what you're waiting for.
Do you understand me?
Are you going to do it or not?
Pick it up.
Mr. Kah...
Please.
Please.
Please.
Are you a man?
If you are, then do it.
Hurry up.
Get started.
Pick it up.
He's actually picking it up.
It's showtime!
Go on! Go on!
Cut!
Three! Two! One!
This guy is interesting!
Mr. Noguchi is asking...
...why you haven't sliced the beef yet.
I look forward to working with you.
Hurry up!
I promised Mr. Noguchi...
...that this time,
I can make him back triple his loss.
But I need your help.
What can I do...
...to help?
Mr. Noguchi has some money
that needs to be...
...delivered to the Golden Triangle.
Twenty million US dollars.
You will deliver it for him.
I'll tell you who the contact is
when the time comes.
But Mr. Kah...
how can I transport
twenty million dollars by myself?
Not by yourself.
You'll lead a group.
Tsai Bat Tong can organize one of those
"Love Beyond Borders" trips.
Recruit more people as cover...
...and transport the money.
Mr. Kah,
May I ask...
...what is the twenty million dollars...
...for?
The twenty million dollars...
...is to buy your life.
Once you've delivered the money,
you stick your head out.
After the contact counts the money,
he will take you out.
Don't be stupid.
What else would you do
with twenty million in the Golden Triangle?
Buy heroin, of course!
Mr. Kah,
I can't get involved with drugs.
You don't have to.
The goods are already in Hong Kong.
But they insist on collecting payment
in the Golden Triangle.
Understand?
Understood.
Triple my money.
Take our son...
...and get on the earliest flight
to Canada tomorrow.
Just do as I say!
Check the flights from there to Canada.
I'll fly directly from there next week.
Should I book a return ticket to Hong Kong?
I'll be lucky if I can even get away.
What about Tsai Bat Tong?
Take it if you want it.
But I'm warning you,
I know Kah Yuen Kwan too well.
Once the 200 million incident was exposed,
I was doomed.
While I still have some use to him,
this is my only chance to escape.
...was attacked with a knife,
suffering a head injury.
The attacker fled the scene.
A female staff member
was also injured in the chaos.
Both injured parties were taken
to the hospital by ambulance.
Regarding the embezzlement case
of Tsai Bat Tong's president,
due to insufficient evidence,
the prosecution has decided
to drop the charges.
I have always believed the law.
Now that this matter has come to a close,
I hope the public...
...can shift its focus
back to Tsai Bat Tong's...
...charitable work.
In the near future,
we will be organizing
a "Love Beyond Borders" charity event...
...for orphans in Southeast Asia.
We hope to bring our love...
...to people in need
in other parts of the world.
If I have the right.
I'd have Ko Shing Man
under 24-hour surveillance.
But I don't have that authority.
Yes, I am.
Mr. Ma!
Oh, right.
We have a charity event
in Southeast Asia coming up.
Thanks.
You want to go too?
Let me see if there are any spots left.
Yes, we have a vacancy opening.
Great. I'll sign you up.
It's a criminal mode of operating.
The anonymous donations are dirty money.
Providing services is the method.
And the whole process
is called money laundering.
Golden Triangle
Let's go.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Let's welcome Mr. Ko!
Lantau Island.
Hong Kong has many different kinds of food.
Kowloon and...
- Noodles.
- Hong Kong Island
Noodles, yes.
And then this food is delicious.
Okay, everybody look at the camera, there.
Good evening.
Welcome back.
Have a good night.
Wai Ling.
It's our last night.
Since we're here,
how about we go out for a walk later?
Don't you have meetings every night?
President Ko had something come up.
Tonight's meeting is canceled.
I just saw him with some locals
near the conference room.
Since we don't have a meeting,
why don't we get dinner first,
and then go for a walk?
Okay! Sounds good!
Excuse me,
my stomach is a bit upset.
Why don't you go ahead
without me?
Well, go get some rest.
Call us later.
Okay.
- Bye.
- See you.
Once you've delivered the money,
you stick your head out.
After the contact counts the money,
he will take you out.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Tsai Bat Tong is all yours now.
Airport please.
Airport.
Follow that car!
Is this the way to the airport?
No, sir.
Turn off the lights.
Don't get too close.
Excuse me sir, are you a cop?
Yes.
Focus!
Stop! Stop!
I need your help!
Okay.
Freeze! Police!
Drop down your gun!
Drop down your gun!
Lie on the floor!
Get on!
Something's happened.
I'm sending you my location.
Come pick me up immediately!
Who wants to kill you?
Is it related to Yeung To's death?
Who are you, really?
Turn yourself in.
I can help you.
Stop!
Did you steal the 200 million?
Is that why someone wants you dead?
I'd like to know where
that 200 million went too!
Flash your lights when you see me!
Mr. Ko.
What happened?
Stop asking so many questions.
Just get me to the airport. Now.
Stop the car.
What are you doing?
I'm just getting the first aid kit
from the back...
...to disinfect your wound.
Mr. Ko.
We finally meet.
Mr. Ma Ying Fung.
We suspect you of conspiring to...
...pervert the course of justice...
...and abetting a witness
to provide a false statement.
We'd like you to come with us
to assist in the investigation.
What happened?
Barrister Ma.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you
your rights.
Regarding Siu Chin Hung's
accusation against you,
is there anything you don't understand?
The one thing I don't understand is,
the court already found him not guilty.
Why is he now accusing me...
...of coaching him
to give a false statement?
Maybe after Yuen Ho Yee's death,
he had a crisis of conscience.
A life was lost, Barrister.
I deny Siu Chin Hung's accusation.
I request to be released
on my own recognizance.
Sorry about that.
Suspects of perverting the course of justice
cannot bail themselves out.
You need a surety.
You'll have to stay here for a day.
I'll arrange a cell for you.
It must be Ko Shing Man who set me up.
Ko Shing Man's body is found at a riverbank in the Golden
Triangle
Honestly, I don't know why you went there?
Just stay away from this case.
I don't want to see you
on the news like him.
Ko Shing Man is dead.
All the leads are gone.
How can we keep investigating?
Anyway, we did our best.
Don't torture yourself over it.
I can accept failure.
But I can't accept giving up.
I don't even want to accept failure.
Fung!
Mommy, Mommy! Get up, Mommy!
Mom, get up!
Help! Help!
- Help!
- Hurry up!
Help!
Get out! You're in the way!
The defendant is found not guilty
of reckless driving,
but guilty of failing to stop
after a traffic accident.
The fine is $5,000.
Get up.
Someone's here to bail you out.
Thanks.
That's it?
You owe me dinner.
Sure.
We'll set a date.
Daddy wants to see you.
He's waiting for you at the office.
This is for you.
I begged you for this for so long,
but you never gave it up.
Consider it a memento.
Is it worth it, doing all this?
I used to think being a good barrister...
...just meant winning cases.
Helping clients...
...and making money.
But the more I won, the more I hated losing.
I don't know when it started,
but I became obsessed with winning,
exploiting legal loopholes,
without ever thinking about the truth.
I don't know how much time I have left.
All I know is...
...I'm about to forget who I am.
So am I helping people,
or harming them?
I hired a PI to investigate.
I don't know who the boss is
behind all this.
And I couldn't trace the origin
of the dirty money.
You're a senior counsel.
Is this enough evidence to win?
This is the only way.
Steal their money,
let them turn on each other,
and use my death as the fuse...
...to blow this whole thing open.
You still have a choice.
I've made my choice.
- I have to do the right thing.
- I have to do the right thing.
I spoke with Siu Chin Hung's father.
Ever since the girl's suicide,
his son has been saying he sees ghosts.
He's been completely out of it,
and even went to the police station
to file a report.
But don't worry.
His father promised to withdraw the case.
Thank you.
You were right
about the Tsai Bat Tong case.
But this kind of thing...
...should be left to the police.
You don't need to get involved.
I don't want anything to happen to you.
The moon is beautiful tonight.
Just like the night of my mother's accident.
I always think,
if just one person
had been willing to help that night,
maybe my mom wouldn't have died.
Sorry.
I know where Yeung To's 200 million is!
Hey, here we go.
Come on, come on.
I can help you.
But I need to know the whole story.
I'm very grateful to the board of directors...
...for appointing me...
...as the new president of Tsai Bat Tong.
Here,
as president of Tsai Bat Tong,
I want to assure the public once again...
...that from this day forward,
we will handle every donation...
...with complete openness and transparency.
Nothing like this will ever happen again.
President Ku.
I have a document here...
...that details the transaction records...
...of over a dozen offshore accounts.
All of them were funded
through Tsai Bat Tong's expenses,
siphoned off layer by layer,
and transferred.
The total amount is a full 200 million.
What's more,
all of these accounts were opened in your name.
How do you explain that?
President Ku, would you please explain.
I have no idea where you got
your so-called documents,
but I'm certain they're fake.
Police! Make way!
Excuse me, make way.
Mr. Ku Cheuk Wah.
You are a suspect
in an embezzlement case.
Please come with us
to assist in the investigation.
I want to see your commanding officer.
I want to see my lawyer.
You can go.
What?
You are free to go.
But we may call you back
for further assistance at any time.
Yes, Boss.
I'm home.
Okay.
I'll come see you tomorrow.
Your water is ready, sir.
You're here.
Boss.
It wasn't me.
Someone set me up.
What's wrong with you?
It's so hot today,
yet you're wearing a full suit.
You're not wearing a wire, are you?
No. Of course not.
Come down and talk to me in the water.
Boss, please believe me.
I do believe you.
If I didn't,
you'd have ended up like Ko.
So, have you figured out who's setting you up?
This won't solve the problem.
You go home first.
I'll think about what to do.
Oh, right.
Take time to check your bank account.
If the person who set you up...
...really did deposit
200 million into your account,
just take it out.
It's fine by me.
Thanks.
President Ku.
Don't be alarmed.
I'm here to help you.
Help with what?
You know very well
how Ko Shing Man died.
With me as your attorney,
an embezzlement case is nothing.
What they want...
...is the big fish behind you.
If you're willing to become
a prosecution witness,
it won't be difficult
to get a suspended sentence.
But,
you must provide evidence of their crimes.
Are you crazy?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I once said the same thing to President Ko.
But he didn't take my professional advice.
Think about it seriously.
Stop.
Bow.
Hey, that guy spotted our men.
He led them around in circles,
and we lost him.
It's okay.
I wanted him to spot them.
You think he'll really take the bait?
Ready, begin.
Who do you think will win?
The one in red, obviously.
The boy is a head taller than the girl.
He could probably take her down with one kick.
Wanna bet?
A hundred bucks?
Alright.
You're their coach.
Of course you know
what each of them is capable of.
Sometimes,
all you need is one opportunity...
...to turn defeat into victory.
Just wait.
Hello?
This is Ku Cheuk Wah.
I have evidence
of Kah Yuen Kwan's drug trafficking.
But,
I don't trust anyone else.
You come alone.
If you're not out in ten minutes,
I'm rushing in.
President Ku?
President Ku?
President Ku?
President Ku?
Hi.
You again?
Taekwondo, right?
Let's see who's better.
You or me.
How was that, Taekwondo boy?
Want to continue,
or should I make it quick?
How was that, Long Hair?
Still hanging in there?
Yup.
Ma!
Ma!
Ma!
Ma!
Hey! Don't move!
Ma!
The air is full of dust.
Shoot.
If you're not afraid of an explosion.
The police have successfully cracked...
...the largest drug trafficking case of the year.
According to sources, this incident...
...may be related to the financial backer...
...behind the Tsai Bat Tong money laundering case.
The warehouse suspected of storing the drugs...
...suffered an explosion.
Two male bodies were later found.
Two men were seriously injured.
Based on the statements of the injured,
the police have launched an arrest operation.
So noisy.
Who is it?
What's going on?
Mr. Noguchi, you are under arrest.
Huh?
Mr. Kah Yuen Kwan.
You are suspected of contract killing,
participating in drug smuggling,
and masterminding
money laundering activities.
I am now placing you under arrest.
I grew up with Yeung To.
Before he died, he wanted to do one last good deed.
He came to me for help.
He wanted to use that 200 million...
...to force Ko Shing Man
to expose the boss behind him.
I don't mind losing,
but I can't let those bastards win
with a smile.
But we miscalculated one step.
Luckily, you came up with a plan...
...to trick Ku Cheuk Wah...
...into successfully baiting Kah Yuen Kwan,
and fulfilling Yeung's last wish.
On his behalf, I thank you.
I'm okay.
You're actually quite similar to Yeung.
For the sake of his case,
you sacrificed a lot.
Compared to him,
my sacrifice was nothing.
So what will happen to the 200 million?
It has all been handed over to the police.
Together with Yeung's testimony,
it should be very useful in court.
I hope that from now on,
no one will use charities...
...to commit crimes again.
The original purpose of the non-profit ordinance...
...was to facilitate tax exemptions...
...to encourage genuine charities...
...to help people.
But the law...
...will always have loopholes.
A small minority of people...
...will exploit these loopholes to break the law,
and tarnish everyone's reputation.
For us who study the law,
the most important thing
is our moral conscience.
With that conscience,
we can protect the original intent of the law.
It's not just us.
Everyone should have it.
It's time for me to retire.
Why don't you come back...
...and help me look after the firm and Man Ying?
Master.
I can come back to work,
but I have to ask that question.
Boss.
The client has signed the confidentiality agreement...
...and is waiting for you in the conference room.
First, I am obliged...
...to explain this confidentiality agreement.
Both signing parties...
...guarantee that all conversation...
...within this room will remain confidential.
If either party discloses
anything to a third party,
it will be considered a breach
of the agreement.
In that case,
the other party has the right to demand compensation,
for which there is no upper limit.
Understood?
Understood.
Very well.
I have one rule.
Before I take on any case,
I must ask one question.
Then I will decide whether to take the case or not.
Tell me the truth.
Did you do it?
Thanks, Wai Ling.
You're welcome.
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
The Tsai Bat Tong Annual Charity Gala...
...officially begins now.
First,
let's welcome our President, Mr. Ko.
Good evening, everyone.
It's a great honor...
...to be here with all of your kind souls today.
It's because of your love and donations...
...that Tsai Bat Tong has been able to help...
...so many people in need over the past year.
On behalf of...
...every single person who has received our aid,
I want to express our sincerest thanks.
Every single penny you've donated...
...will go to the people who need it most.
Mr. Ko, let's go! Move!
(CLEAR MY NAME)
That night,
I met Siu Chin Hung at my friend's birthday party.
We stayed out late.
I got really drunk.
Siu Chin Hung offered to send me home.
I fell asleep in the car.
When I woke up, I was at his place.
And then...
...he raped me.
Is the Siu Chin Hung you mentioned...
...present in the court today?
Please identify him.
That's him.
Nothing further, Your Honor.
Defense counsel.
Miss Yuen.
According to the statement from your friend,
Cheung Mei Ying, the birthday girl,
she mentioned to you beforehand...
...that she was going to introduce you to a rich heir.
Is that true?
Hi. Hello...
Hello
Yes.
According to the testimony from the security guard
at Mr. Siu's building,
he saw you walk through
the lobby that night,
laughing and chatting with Siu Chin Hung.
That contradicts your claim
that you woke up once you were at his place.
How do you explain that?
He's lying!
And finally,
my client claims that...
...before you had intercourse that night,
you put the condom on for him yourself.
Yes or no?
I had to protect myself.
Yes or no?
Yes!
Nothing further, Your Honor.
Boss, I have an appointment
with another client.
I won't be heading back to the office just yet.
Thanks.
Barrister Ma!
I really owe you one.
From now on, I'll have my dad's company...
...send all their cases to your firm.
Just not this kind of case.
What?
Winning on a technicality
doesn't mean justice was served.
What's that supposed to mean?
Scum!
- I'll kill you, you piece of scum!
- Dad!
- Let go!
- Dad, please stop!
I won't let you get away with this!
- Dad, are you okay?
- How could you help a man like that?!
You'll both come to a bad end!
Let go!
- Stop!
- Let's go, Dad!
All of you, stop! Calm down.
Let's talk this through.
- Stop!
- Scum!
You alright?
Smile. Your salary includes hazard pay.
I'll raise your fee next time.
Barrister Ma.
Hey, hey.
Mr. Wat wants to see you
as soon as you're back.
Mr. Siu called to complain.
Daddy.
Who left these A4 papers here?
Have Mary take them out.
Oh, this is recycled paper.
I ordered it for a friend's company.
Just leave it here for now.
A complaint from Siu?
You're a nearly perfect man...
...except for your stubbornness.
True.
I'll handle it.
One more complaint and you'll be blacklisted.
My salary includes hazard pay, too.
Didn't we just have an audit a few months ago?
We did.
But it seems there's a problem
with Tsai Bat Tong's accounts,
So they have to re-audit.
That's strange.
You think so too, huh?
Those two auditors have been here for a while,
but they haven't even glanced at me.
They must be gay.
So? Find anything?
Nothing.
You office workers...
...have to come all this way for a smoke?
Can't be helped.
That's the life of an employee.
Excuse me. I'm all out.
Got a spare?
Sure. Here you are.
Police officers need a warrant
to search a premises.
So, officers...
...mind if I see it?
What? Officers?
Your actions constitute an illegal search.
Our company sent us to audit the books.
How is that illegal?
You're just randomly mashing buttons
on that calculator.
That was a five-digit number,
and you pressed seven keys.
Also,
your phone charm...
...is a souvenir from the Police Force's
175th anniversary.
I doubt many civilians would use one.
No wonder Barrister Ma wins all his cases.
You're sharp.
And you are?
Criminal Investigation Department.
Sergeant Or Ting Pong.
Officer Or, Kowloon East Regional HQ.
The warrant?
Some things are just a formality.
The truth is what matters in an investigation.
So you don't have one.
Who's your superior?
And your badge numbers?
Not talking? Fine.
I'll just call the police complaints hotline.
Or Ting Pong, right?
We received a tip-off...
...that someone is using Tsai Bat Tong
for money laundering.
Our firm would never be involved in such things.
I believe you.
I'm investigating Tsai Bat Tong.
So I hope...
...you can hand over all of Tsai Bat Tong's
documents entrusted to your firm.
Barrister Ma, please.
Just help us out, alright?
Please. Someone is dead.
A life is at stake.
Think of it as police-public cooperation.
Thank you.
Cancel all my events for the next few days.
Keep the reporters from digging this up again.
For the 12th,
the new branch's groundbreaking ceremony,
I'll have the North District director
attend in your place.
Also,
for any major charity fundraisers
in the next two months,
double all donations.
I'd rather pay more
to protect Tsai Bat Tong's reputation.
Understood.
Is there something else?
Why is two hundred million missing?
I've already confirmed with the bank.
Starting a year ago,
there's been a discrepancy between
our financial reports and the actual deposits.
The amount is always less.
It seems Yeung To has been stealing
from the company.
Weren't you supposed to be keeping an eye
on that bastard?
So where's the money now?
I don't know. We're still looking.
Mr. Kah must not find out about this.
Noted.
Damn it...
One Year Ago
Hey Yeung, perfect timing.
Do you think the blue one suits me,
or...
...is the Grey one better?
Blue.
I think so too.
Oh, right.
This year's charity gala
was a huge success.
I've scheduled a meeting
with the big boss this afternoon
to discuss opening two new branches
next year.
Mr. Ko.
I received your proposal
to increase next year's administrative budget
by ten percent.
I'm afraid that's not possible.
Why not?
This year, the ratio of donations
to administrative expenses
is already 100 to 50.
In other words, for every $100 donated,
$50 goes to administrative costs.
Let me ask you.
Without administrative fees,
who pays your salary?
You might as well tell me the sky is blue.
Mr. Ko,
we are a non-profit organization.
At this rate,
any higher and the Revenue Department
will investigate us.
Let them investigate.
You're the one they'll arrest.
You're the one doing the books.
I'm just kidding, Yeung.
It's been in the news.
Plenty of NGOs have a ratio of 100 to 75.
So 100 to 60 for us isn't too much, is it?
Mr. Ko,
I really can't cook the books like that.
Have you ever heard of...
...something called "extraordinary expenses"?
For example,
say the ceiling of a branch is about to collapse.
It needs repairs, right?
Must be more than thirty million right there.
Or,
say some old facilities at a branch need maintenance...
- Another few million.
- But we've never done that.
Are you losing your mind!
We've always done it this way.
We're just scaling up!
I know what you want.
Take it.
Consider it a deposit for your work.
I can't take this money.
Why not?
It's simple.
Without alerting anyone,
you take a portion of the monthly administrative fees,
spread it across several accounts,
and use it to buy stocks.
Then, you transfer the profits...
...to my offshore accounts.
A man of your talents can handle this.
The money's yours. Don't hold it so tight.
We're on the same team now.
I'll introduce you to the boss later.
Congratulations on joining
the for-profit core of our non-profit.
If you can't think of any "extraordinary expenses,"
feel free to come to me.
I'm an expert at this stuff.
Last month, at the Tsai Bat Tong charity gala,
the organization's CFO, Yeung To,
was found dead by hanging.
After a month-long police investigation,
the possibility of homicide has been ruled out.
The investigation is now proceeding
as a suicide.
President Ko,
there are rumors that Yeung To's death
is related to the Tsai Bat Tong money laundering case.
Do you have any comment?
As the president of Tsai Bat Tong, I solemnly declare...
that these rumors
are baseless and malicious slander.
Our organization reserves the right
to pursue legal action against rumor-mongers.
Second row.
Third.
Fourth.
Good.
Everyone, take a break.
Front kick is all about distance.
The goal is to close that distance.
Wow, that's a useful move.
I could kick you in the head
before you even knew it.
Ka Wai.
I teach you Taekwondo not so you can start fights,
but if you ever need to defend yourself,
you can use this move.
First,
you create a diversion.
Look here.
The purpose of the diversion...
...is to distract your opponent.
Then, kick.
Thank you, Fung.
Headmaster, not this again,
treating me like a stranger?
You watched me grow up.
True. And I watched you go bad, too.
Are you free on Saturday?
I have a date with Man Ying. What's up?
Do you remember our old primary school?
It's been closed for years.
Not enough students, right?
I lent it to a social enterprise last year.
They're planning to renovate it soon,
and they're looking for volunteers to help.
I was hoping you could take the kids there.
But if you're busy, it's okay.
I just think it's a good organization.
Which one?
Tsai Bat Tong. Have you heard of it?
Ah. What time on Saturday?
Aren't you on a date with Man Ying?
I can reschedule.
Morning.
Morning, Uncle To.
Morning.
Uncle To.
Thank you.
Wai Ling made dessert soup.
- Come and get some!
- Everyone come on!
- Feel free to get one.
- Good.
[Branch Checklist]
Uncle To.
Have a bowl.
Thank you!
You caramelized the sugar.
The sweetness is perfect.
That's right.
Please come to our branch more often,
I guarantee you'll eat well.
I'd come every day
even if you didn't ask.
You know I love chatting with you.
You're the only one who listens to my ramblings.
Well, you tell great stories.
As long as you don't find me annoying.
Five Weeks Later
Careful.
Don't break anything, you hear?
Mr. Ma.
Everyone, have some water.
Okay, thank you.
Thanks for your help, Mr. Ma.
Miss Wan.
Your volunteers are doing some real hard labor.
Sorry about that.
I told Headmaster Tsang
we'd be moving heavy things.
I'm just kidding.
It feels good to help!
And the kids get to burn off some energy.
Building a swimming pool must cost a lot.
It does.
The main branch is very good at fund raising.
Manager Wan.
Excuse me.
You're here, Mr. Ku.
This way.
Are all the donation records here?
Yes, all the ones Uncle To
handled are here.
Alright, thank you.
I'll take these with me.
I'll contact you if I need anything else.
Okay, Mr. Ku.
Sorry.
Miss Wan,
where does this box of books go?
Please, call me Wai Ling.
These are unsorted.
Put them in the old office.
I'll show you.
The headmaster told me...
...this branch has been opened for less than a year.
Renovating so soon?
I think it's quite new, too.
But the main branch gave the order, so what can we do?
You guys are just that good at fund raising.
You can put it over there.
Oops, sorry.
So this is where it was.
Yours?
It's Uncle To's.
He left it behind.
You mean... the Yeung To from the news?
Yes.
Do you have a tissue?
One second.
Is there anything else I can help with?
I still have a few more boxes of books.
Follow me.
This box needs to go downstairs.
Alright.
Done. I found it.
Has anyone seen
Uncle To's blue notebook?
What's wrong?
The notebook is missing.
I'll help you look for it.
Okay.
Help! Help!
Mom!
Dad's birthday is coming.
Don't forget the gift.
Okay.
...a burn injury case.
Yuen Ho Yee, the woman who accused Siu Chin Hung,
son of JP Siu Yau Wai, of sexual assault,
was found dead by suicide
at her residence at 9 PM tonight.
A suicide note was found at the scene.
A preliminary investigation
has found no signs of foul play.
During our live report,
Yuen Ho Yi's father, Yuen Chi Man,
fell from a height.
Our channel's cameraman
captured this exclusive footage.
The justice system is a joke!
That bastard Siu Chin Hung!
He raped my daughter,
and the court let him walk free?
Now my daughter is dead!
It's all because of lawyers like you!
Isn't it strange?
I turn around, and the notebook is gone.
So, you're agreeing to help me, right?
Thank you.
When Yeung To died,
the words "Clear My Name" were on his shirt.
Could Tsai Bat Tong
really be laundering money?
That matches our tip-off.
Who was the source?
An anonymous whistle blower.
The kind that just mails in a letter.
You investigate every letter you receive?
We use our brains to analyze them,
Barrister Ma.
If a letter claimed you had two mistresses...
...and three wives,
should we investigate that too?
The letter arrived at our office
the day after Yeung To died.
Isn't that a little odd?
So, what have you found?
Nothing.
Because you still haven't agreed to help us.
Are you done interrogating me?
Sorry. Force of habit.
Sorry about what happened in the alley.
So now, even you think
there's more to this, right?
No comment.
Okay, look.
Yeung To's notebook was taken.
It's very likely connected to his death.
Since you've read the notebook,
are there any clues inside you think we should investigate?
The contents were a mess.
The writing was fragmented, incomprehensible.
However,
I saw two addresses on one of the pages.
They really stuck in my mind.
Where?
Here?
He likes the corned beef sandwiches here?
They are pretty delicious.
Before you arrived,
I asked the owner.
He remembers seeing Yeung To here,
but he didn't know who he was.
Impressive.
You're even doing my job for me.
What about the second address?
It should be here.
It is or it isn't.
Don't give me "should be."
Room six.
Catching a cheater?
Looking for a lost child?
Or a debtor?
I heard you used to work for the governor.
That no secret is safe from you?
Nine months ago
Let's talk upstairs.
What do you want to find out?
I need to know where all the capital is flowing,
who's the big boss behind it all,
and find two more people for me.
I don't usually ask about my clients' motives,
but this case is too high-risk.
Here's the deposit.
You'll get the other half when it's done.
A man who knows what he's doing.
Wait for my good news.
Fat Ming must have stepped out.
He'll be back soon.
Go on up and wait.
Thanks, man.
Ma, are you alright?
I'm fine.
Stop running!
So be it.
Hey, coffee.
Thanks.
You alright?
I was even worse the first time I saw a dead body.
I threw up everywhere. You're handling it well.
It's not my first time.
Being a cop...
...is a really dangerous job.
Every job has its difficulties.
Thanks for your help this time.
You can go now.
Go home and get some rest.
Kai Sang Construction Group
Where are you?
It's getting late.
Don't tell me you forgot Dad's birthday.
I'm on my way!
Thank you.
What took you so long?
At least he's here.
Come on, sit down. Let's eat.
Daddy,
happy birthday.
I'm sure you'll like it.
I'll love anything my darling daughter gives me.
Thank you!
Sorry, Master.
I didn't prepare anything.
I reminded you ages ago.
You're the one who forgot.
Daddy, it's from both of us.
Why are you so forgetful lately?
I had something important to do.
I know your work is important,
but Daddy's birthday is important too.
Yuen Ho Yee committed suicide yesterday.
The plaintiff from my last case.
I know you probably don't think that's important.
Can we not talk about this today?
You have something to say to me?
Daddy...
When I was in university,
I sat in on one of your trials.
I remember it clearly.
You used the post-WWII Nuremberg trials...
...as your argument.
You pointed out how the Nazi war criminals...
...defended themselves by claiming
they were "just following orders."
But in the end,
they were all found guilty.
Because the soldiers who carried out
the massacre...
...could not hide behind so-called "orders"...
...to absolve themselves of their crimes.
You called it moral conscience.
And with that point,
you turned the case around and won.
From that moment on, I swore...
...that I would become a barrister just like you.
This is a contract from four years ago,
when Tsai Bat Tong entrusted our firm...
...with managing their accounts and funds.
The signatories are you and Yeung To.
Last year, Tsai Bat Tong's revenue
was over 500 million.
70% of that was cash donations.
That's almost 350 million.
And of that money, 200 million...
...came from anonymous donations.
They have many expenses:
wages, catering,
transportation, maintenance,
accounting, and so on.
But the strangest part is,
behind all these service providers...
...is a single overseas company
called "OUTsider."
And last year, the total profit they made
from Tsai Bat Tong...
...was also around 200 million.
The exact same amount
as the anonymous donations.
What does any of this...
...have to do with Daddy?
It's a criminal mode of operating.
The anonymous donations...
...are dirty money.
Providing services is the method.
And the whole process
is called money laundering.
Our law firm...
...is only responsible for managing our clients' accounts and
funds.
As for anything else,
legally,
we bear no responsibility.
So we're also defending ourselves by "just following orders"?
Has moral conscience become irrelevant?
Happy birthday.
Daddy, I'll go check on him.
Hey,
don't you have dementia?
You're still as sharp as ever.
Dementia means you lose your memory,
not your intelligence.
Your turn.
You're distracting me.
It's an unfair victory.
Excuse me,
could I get some more hot water?
Yes, right away.
Your turn.
Checkmate.
It's been a while.
Your skills have improved.
Do you remember
why you asked me here today?
3:35 Teahouse - Plan - Meeting
In your condition,
there's no way you can succeed.
With your help, I will.
But what you're doing is very dangerous.
I'll soon forget my own name.
I don't want to just disappear from this world.
I have to do one last good thing.
I'm sorry.
I can't help you.
Any leads on the 200 million?
Still looking, Mr. Ko.
I need more time.
You're all useless.
A bunch of good-for-nothings.
Hold this.
Yes, Mr. Kah.
This Friday,
come see me at 3 PM.
Got it. Friday at 3 PM.
Is the trouble
with Tsai Bat Tong sorted out?
It should be fine.
It's just the reporters...
Go on, you trash.
Get out!
Come back!
Leak the story that Yeung To
embezzled 200 million from the company.
Why, Mr. Ko?
It's better for Mr. Kah
to hear it from the media...
...than from me directly.
It will also distract the reporters...
...so they stop hounding me
about the money laundering.
Do it.
Understood.
This company, OUTsider,
made about 200 million last year.
That's the pattern.
Our firm is only the custodian.
Legally, we're not responsible.
And I can't prove the source
of the money is illegal.
Sorry.
Yes?
How interesting.
Send it over.
Oh, you sent it?
I'll take a look. Thanks.
Hey, got something.
There's a new development in the suicide of Yeung To,
Tsai Bat Tong's CFO.
We've received news that...
...200 million in cash is missing
from Tsai Bat Tong's accounts.
The organization suspects...
...the former CFO, Yeung To,
of embezzling the funds.
They've already reported it to the police.
200 million again.
Blame the dead man.
How convenient.
If Yeung To really did it,
then his death makes perfect sense.
It's not impossible.
But what would he need all that money for?
It's useless.
He couldn't have spent it.
What do you mean?
Alzheimer's disease?
Mr. Yeung,
have you noticed anything unusual
in your daily life recently?
I can walk and jump.
Nothing's wrong.
Based on my diagnosis,
you have Alzheimer's disease.
What's that?
It's a type of cognitive impairment,
a form of dementia.
Currently, there is no cure.
In the early stages,
you'll experience memory loss.
As it progresses,
you will gradually lose various bodily functions.
The average life expectancy for a patient...
...is only three to nine years.
I hope you can be mentally prepared.
Yeung To found out he had this disease
a year ago.
He planned to steal Tsai Bat Tong's money...
...while he still could.
He must have thought
since it was dirty money,
they wouldn't dare report it.
But he didn't expect
they'd hire someone to kill him.
He died for money.
End of story.
But the money would've been useless to him.
You said it yourself.
Maybe he wasn't doing it for himself.
He has no family.
Well, maybe he just wanted
to live lavishly in his final days.
I'll investigate the rest.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Thank you very much.
I saw a symbol
in Yeung To's notebook.
It's the logo
of a drug rehabilitation center.
I'll bet you a hundred bucks
he's never been here.
Then why did you come with me?
Wing,
you have visitors.
Who?
Mok Tsz Wing?
Take a look. Have you seen this man?
About a year ago.
He came to visit me in prison.
Said he was a social worker
from the Social Welfare Department.
He was my guarantor
to get into this rehab center.
He was good to you.
But I haven't seen him for two months.
Did you know him before that?
Go away!
Don't come back here again!
Leave!
He's the father
who abandoned my family.
Yeung To is your father?
I recognized him.
I knew it was him
the first time he showed up.
My mom kept a photo of him.
She hid it, never showed it to me.
Once, when I was jonesing for a fix,
I found it
while rummaging through her drawer.
I was sure he was that bastard.
Did you two ever acknowledge each other?
Why should I?
An irresponsible man like that,
just showing up and pretending to care.
Did he leave you anything?
Leave me what?
Regret.
I grew up without a father.
Look how I turned out.
Just regret.
What happened to Yeung To?
He died a month ago.
We're still investigating.
There's no hardship we can't overcome.
The most important thing
is for a family to be together and happy.
Okay, thanks.
Keep surveilling. Thanks.
The results are in.
Mok Tsz Wing's bank account...
...is completely empty.
He's even in debt to the bank.
Looks like he wasn't lying.
So?
Any other theories?
Besides Yeung To,
who's the next biggest suspect
for stealing the 200 million?
Ko Shing Man.
Will he even show up?
We have to wait, either way.
Hey, Mr. Ko is coming out.
That way.
President Ko!
Regarding the rumors of money laundering
at Tsai Bat Tong,
do you plan to release your financial reports...
...and give the public an explanation?
I've already explained this matter many times.
I have nothing further to add.
Thank you.
Everyone, please step back.
I have a copy of your expenditure records here.
It shows that...
...for several consecutive years,
your extraordinary expenses...
...have increased by 80 percent.
Do you have any comment on that?
How did you get that document?
Which press are you from?
STV
Why aren't you hounding me
about Yeung To embezzling funds,
but about this?
Mr. Ko.
We have no comment!
I'll take my leave.
The public has a right to know...
...where their donations are being spent!
You know I can sue you for defamation.
I'm not afraid!
- President Ko, do you have any response?
- No!
Thirteen months ago
Be sharp when you meet the boss.
Don't worry, Mr. Ko.
Mr. Kah only wants to see you and me.
You wait here.
Stop.
I'm so sorry.
Been waiting long?
Not at all, Mr. Kah.
We just arrived.
Have a seat.
You've been very popular lately.
Your face is in every magazine.
Mr. Kah, the thing is...
Mr. Kah?
Fire that waitress.
Yes, sir.
How are things?
I've met with the barristers.
They all say we're sure to win this case.
No matter what you do,
you rely on one thing, reputation.
Once you lose your reputation,
everything you've built will collapse.
Of course I understand that, Mr. Kah.
But this time,
I feel...
...someone has deliberately set us up.
Otherwise, those reporters...
...couldn't have gotten our internal documents.
And Yeung To's death
...seems more complicated than it appears.
Oh, right.
About Yeung To stealing the 200 million...
...is it possible he didn't do it?
Mr. Kah, I swear...
...I will find out...
...who is pulling the strings behind the scenes,
and get that money back.
Good.
I won't disappoint you again.
I'll be leaving, Mr. Kah.
I won't disturb you any longer.
Pong.
Isn't the case closed? Still investigating?
Just a little longer.
You know me well.
I'm investigating
...the murder of that private investigator.
Hey, are you sure you don't know
the deceased at all?
What do you mean?
We cracked the deceased's computer.
It has your information in it.
I also read his ledger.
Yeung To gave the PI half a million.
Cash.
How generous.
It seems very likely
he stole the 200 million.
Oh yes, I found it. I found it.
Okay.
Excuse me, Mr. Wat.
I told Barrister Ma
you weren't available.
Okay, okay, I'll call you back.
Okay, bye.
What's wrong?
I can't be Ko Shing Man's defense attorney.
This is a major case.
Besides, the prosecution
doesn't have enough evidence.
It's a winning hand.
I believe Ko Shing Man
...definitely embezzled donations.
Where's the evidence?
Be mature.
This firm will depend on you from now on.
Sorry...
Are you acting like a
professional barrister right now?
I'm acting like a human being.
If you still consider me your master,
take the case.
I don't intend to be the war criminal
who was "just following orders."
I'm downstairs. Have new Intel.
How's it going?
Just getting off, or just starting?
What's the new Intel?
There's something...
...quite interesting.
This letter.
It was mailed to the UK
under my name and then returned to me.
Inside was this document.
It's a full record of
Tsai Bat Tong's expenses
for the past year,
and information on
Ko Shing Man's private accounts.
This isn't something just anyone could get.
It's identical to the Tsai Bat Tong files
I saw at the firm.
It doesn't look fake.
But even with this document,
we still can't prove...
...that Ko Shing Man stole the 200 million.
Forget about this for a second.
Help me figure something else out.
Did you know
the murdered PI investigated me?
There was a file on his computer...
...with all my information.
At the same time,
he also wrote an evaluation report on me.
Yeung To hired him to investigate you?
Another file on the computer
was about this female reporter.
She doesn't know Yeung To either.
They only met once, nine months ago.
But she also recently received
a tip-off letter about Tsai Bat Tong.
Miss Kwok.
This is a small token from my client.
He hopes you'll be merciful...
...and not publish the story.
Who is your client?
You should know very well.
I don't care who he is.
You go back and tell him...
...I can't be bought.
This reporter has integrity.
She's trustworthy.
My investigation confirms it.
You didn't have to test her with that charade.
People are unpredictable.
It's safer to be sure.
This cop, don't be fooled
by his goofy appearance.
He comes from a family of cops.
His father received the Silver Whistle Award,
but he's buried in Gallant Garden.
He was born to hate evil.
If he gets a whiff of something,
he won't let go.
There aren't many like him
in the entire force.
He's a perfect fit for your requirements.
What do you mean?
So, you're saying...
...Yeung To intentionally led me
and the reporter...
...to investigate the Tsai Bat Tong scandal?
Obviously.
But the problem is,
he himself was implicated...
...in false accounting
and embezzlement.
Why would he get someone
to investigate himself?
What's the next step?
Next step?
If I have the right
I'd have Ko Shing Man
under 24-hour surveillance.
But I don't have that authority.
Stop.
Only you.
Wait for me in the car.
This way.
Cheers.
Mr. Kah.
So this is the one?
Because of you, I lost 200 million.
Idiot! Useless fool!
If this happened in Japan,
you'd have to cut off a finger to atone.
Do you know that,
you piece of trash?
Mr. Kah, this is...
This is Mr. Noguchi.
The 200 million you lost
belonged to him.
He said,
in Japan, if you make a mistake,
you must cut off a finger to atone.
This is the most basic show of sincerity.
You caused the Oni Gang
such a huge loss.
How do you plan to show your sincerity?
- Mr. Kah, the 200 million...
- Hey.
What are you waiting for?
Get on with it.
He's asking what you're waiting for.
Do you understand me?
Are you going to do it or not?
Pick it up.
Mr. Kah...
Please.
Please.
Please.
Are you a man?
If you are, then do it.
Hurry up.
Get started.
Pick it up.
He's actually picking it up.
It's showtime!
Go on! Go on!
Cut!
Three! Two! One!
This guy is interesting!
Mr. Noguchi is asking...
...why you haven't sliced the beef yet.
I look forward to working with you.
Hurry up!
I promised Mr. Noguchi...
...that this time,
I can make him back triple his loss.
But I need your help.
What can I do...
...to help?
Mr. Noguchi has some money
that needs to be...
...delivered to the Golden Triangle.
Twenty million US dollars.
You will deliver it for him.
I'll tell you who the contact is
when the time comes.
But Mr. Kah...
how can I transport
twenty million dollars by myself?
Not by yourself.
You'll lead a group.
Tsai Bat Tong can organize one of those
"Love Beyond Borders" trips.
Recruit more people as cover...
...and transport the money.
Mr. Kah,
May I ask...
...what is the twenty million dollars...
...for?
The twenty million dollars...
...is to buy your life.
Once you've delivered the money,
you stick your head out.
After the contact counts the money,
he will take you out.
Don't be stupid.
What else would you do
with twenty million in the Golden Triangle?
Buy heroin, of course!
Mr. Kah,
I can't get involved with drugs.
You don't have to.
The goods are already in Hong Kong.
But they insist on collecting payment
in the Golden Triangle.
Understand?
Understood.
Triple my money.
Take our son...
...and get on the earliest flight
to Canada tomorrow.
Just do as I say!
Check the flights from there to Canada.
I'll fly directly from there next week.
Should I book a return ticket to Hong Kong?
I'll be lucky if I can even get away.
What about Tsai Bat Tong?
Take it if you want it.
But I'm warning you,
I know Kah Yuen Kwan too well.
Once the 200 million incident was exposed,
I was doomed.
While I still have some use to him,
this is my only chance to escape.
...was attacked with a knife,
suffering a head injury.
The attacker fled the scene.
A female staff member
was also injured in the chaos.
Both injured parties were taken
to the hospital by ambulance.
Regarding the embezzlement case
of Tsai Bat Tong's president,
due to insufficient evidence,
the prosecution has decided
to drop the charges.
I have always believed the law.
Now that this matter has come to a close,
I hope the public...
...can shift its focus
back to Tsai Bat Tong's...
...charitable work.
In the near future,
we will be organizing
a "Love Beyond Borders" charity event...
...for orphans in Southeast Asia.
We hope to bring our love...
...to people in need
in other parts of the world.
If I have the right.
I'd have Ko Shing Man
under 24-hour surveillance.
But I don't have that authority.
Yes, I am.
Mr. Ma!
Oh, right.
We have a charity event
in Southeast Asia coming up.
Thanks.
You want to go too?
Let me see if there are any spots left.
Yes, we have a vacancy opening.
Great. I'll sign you up.
It's a criminal mode of operating.
The anonymous donations are dirty money.
Providing services is the method.
And the whole process
is called money laundering.
Golden Triangle
Let's go.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you.
Let's welcome Mr. Ko!
Lantau Island.
Hong Kong has many different kinds of food.
Kowloon and...
- Noodles.
- Hong Kong Island
Noodles, yes.
And then this food is delicious.
Okay, everybody look at the camera, there.
Good evening.
Welcome back.
Have a good night.
Wai Ling.
It's our last night.
Since we're here,
how about we go out for a walk later?
Don't you have meetings every night?
President Ko had something come up.
Tonight's meeting is canceled.
I just saw him with some locals
near the conference room.
Since we don't have a meeting,
why don't we get dinner first,
and then go for a walk?
Okay! Sounds good!
Excuse me,
my stomach is a bit upset.
Why don't you go ahead
without me?
Well, go get some rest.
Call us later.
Okay.
- Bye.
- See you.
Once you've delivered the money,
you stick your head out.
After the contact counts the money,
he will take you out.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Tsai Bat Tong is all yours now.
Airport please.
Airport.
Follow that car!
Is this the way to the airport?
No, sir.
Turn off the lights.
Don't get too close.
Excuse me sir, are you a cop?
Yes.
Focus!
Stop! Stop!
I need your help!
Okay.
Freeze! Police!
Drop down your gun!
Drop down your gun!
Lie on the floor!
Get on!
Something's happened.
I'm sending you my location.
Come pick me up immediately!
Who wants to kill you?
Is it related to Yeung To's death?
Who are you, really?
Turn yourself in.
I can help you.
Stop!
Did you steal the 200 million?
Is that why someone wants you dead?
I'd like to know where
that 200 million went too!
Flash your lights when you see me!
Mr. Ko.
What happened?
Stop asking so many questions.
Just get me to the airport. Now.
Stop the car.
What are you doing?
I'm just getting the first aid kit
from the back...
...to disinfect your wound.
Mr. Ko.
We finally meet.
Mr. Ma Ying Fung.
We suspect you of conspiring to...
...pervert the course of justice...
...and abetting a witness
to provide a false statement.
We'd like you to come with us
to assist in the investigation.
What happened?
Barrister Ma.
I'm sure I don't need to tell you
your rights.
Regarding Siu Chin Hung's
accusation against you,
is there anything you don't understand?
The one thing I don't understand is,
the court already found him not guilty.
Why is he now accusing me...
...of coaching him
to give a false statement?
Maybe after Yuen Ho Yee's death,
he had a crisis of conscience.
A life was lost, Barrister.
I deny Siu Chin Hung's accusation.
I request to be released
on my own recognizance.
Sorry about that.
Suspects of perverting the course of justice
cannot bail themselves out.
You need a surety.
You'll have to stay here for a day.
I'll arrange a cell for you.
It must be Ko Shing Man who set me up.
Ko Shing Man's body is found at a riverbank in the Golden
Triangle
Honestly, I don't know why you went there?
Just stay away from this case.
I don't want to see you
on the news like him.
Ko Shing Man is dead.
All the leads are gone.
How can we keep investigating?
Anyway, we did our best.
Don't torture yourself over it.
I can accept failure.
But I can't accept giving up.
I don't even want to accept failure.
Fung!
Mommy, Mommy! Get up, Mommy!
Mom, get up!
Help! Help!
- Help!
- Hurry up!
Help!
Get out! You're in the way!
The defendant is found not guilty
of reckless driving,
but guilty of failing to stop
after a traffic accident.
The fine is $5,000.
Get up.
Someone's here to bail you out.
Thanks.
That's it?
You owe me dinner.
Sure.
We'll set a date.
Daddy wants to see you.
He's waiting for you at the office.
This is for you.
I begged you for this for so long,
but you never gave it up.
Consider it a memento.
Is it worth it, doing all this?
I used to think being a good barrister...
...just meant winning cases.
Helping clients...
...and making money.
But the more I won, the more I hated losing.
I don't know when it started,
but I became obsessed with winning,
exploiting legal loopholes,
without ever thinking about the truth.
I don't know how much time I have left.
All I know is...
...I'm about to forget who I am.
So am I helping people,
or harming them?
I hired a PI to investigate.
I don't know who the boss is
behind all this.
And I couldn't trace the origin
of the dirty money.
You're a senior counsel.
Is this enough evidence to win?
This is the only way.
Steal their money,
let them turn on each other,
and use my death as the fuse...
...to blow this whole thing open.
You still have a choice.
I've made my choice.
- I have to do the right thing.
- I have to do the right thing.
I spoke with Siu Chin Hung's father.
Ever since the girl's suicide,
his son has been saying he sees ghosts.
He's been completely out of it,
and even went to the police station
to file a report.
But don't worry.
His father promised to withdraw the case.
Thank you.
You were right
about the Tsai Bat Tong case.
But this kind of thing...
...should be left to the police.
You don't need to get involved.
I don't want anything to happen to you.
The moon is beautiful tonight.
Just like the night of my mother's accident.
I always think,
if just one person
had been willing to help that night,
maybe my mom wouldn't have died.
Sorry.
I know where Yeung To's 200 million is!
Hey, here we go.
Come on, come on.
I can help you.
But I need to know the whole story.
I'm very grateful to the board of directors...
...for appointing me...
...as the new president of Tsai Bat Tong.
Here,
as president of Tsai Bat Tong,
I want to assure the public once again...
...that from this day forward,
we will handle every donation...
...with complete openness and transparency.
Nothing like this will ever happen again.
President Ku.
I have a document here...
...that details the transaction records...
...of over a dozen offshore accounts.
All of them were funded
through Tsai Bat Tong's expenses,
siphoned off layer by layer,
and transferred.
The total amount is a full 200 million.
What's more,
all of these accounts were opened in your name.
How do you explain that?
President Ku, would you please explain.
I have no idea where you got
your so-called documents,
but I'm certain they're fake.
Police! Make way!
Excuse me, make way.
Mr. Ku Cheuk Wah.
You are a suspect
in an embezzlement case.
Please come with us
to assist in the investigation.
I want to see your commanding officer.
I want to see my lawyer.
You can go.
What?
You are free to go.
But we may call you back
for further assistance at any time.
Yes, Boss.
I'm home.
Okay.
I'll come see you tomorrow.
Your water is ready, sir.
You're here.
Boss.
It wasn't me.
Someone set me up.
What's wrong with you?
It's so hot today,
yet you're wearing a full suit.
You're not wearing a wire, are you?
No. Of course not.
Come down and talk to me in the water.
Boss, please believe me.
I do believe you.
If I didn't,
you'd have ended up like Ko.
So, have you figured out who's setting you up?
This won't solve the problem.
You go home first.
I'll think about what to do.
Oh, right.
Take time to check your bank account.
If the person who set you up...
...really did deposit
200 million into your account,
just take it out.
It's fine by me.
Thanks.
President Ku.
Don't be alarmed.
I'm here to help you.
Help with what?
You know very well
how Ko Shing Man died.
With me as your attorney,
an embezzlement case is nothing.
What they want...
...is the big fish behind you.
If you're willing to become
a prosecution witness,
it won't be difficult
to get a suspended sentence.
But,
you must provide evidence of their crimes.
Are you crazy?
I don't know what you're talking about.
I once said the same thing to President Ko.
But he didn't take my professional advice.
Think about it seriously.
Stop.
Bow.
Hey, that guy spotted our men.
He led them around in circles,
and we lost him.
It's okay.
I wanted him to spot them.
You think he'll really take the bait?
Ready, begin.
Who do you think will win?
The one in red, obviously.
The boy is a head taller than the girl.
He could probably take her down with one kick.
Wanna bet?
A hundred bucks?
Alright.
You're their coach.
Of course you know
what each of them is capable of.
Sometimes,
all you need is one opportunity...
...to turn defeat into victory.
Just wait.
Hello?
This is Ku Cheuk Wah.
I have evidence
of Kah Yuen Kwan's drug trafficking.
But,
I don't trust anyone else.
You come alone.
If you're not out in ten minutes,
I'm rushing in.
President Ku?
President Ku?
President Ku?
President Ku?
Hi.
You again?
Taekwondo, right?
Let's see who's better.
You or me.
How was that, Taekwondo boy?
Want to continue,
or should I make it quick?
How was that, Long Hair?
Still hanging in there?
Yup.
Ma!
Ma!
Ma!
Ma!
Hey! Don't move!
Ma!
The air is full of dust.
Shoot.
If you're not afraid of an explosion.
The police have successfully cracked...
...the largest drug trafficking case of the year.
According to sources, this incident...
...may be related to the financial backer...
...behind the Tsai Bat Tong money laundering case.
The warehouse suspected of storing the drugs...
...suffered an explosion.
Two male bodies were later found.
Two men were seriously injured.
Based on the statements of the injured,
the police have launched an arrest operation.
So noisy.
Who is it?
What's going on?
Mr. Noguchi, you are under arrest.
Huh?
Mr. Kah Yuen Kwan.
You are suspected of contract killing,
participating in drug smuggling,
and masterminding
money laundering activities.
I am now placing you under arrest.
I grew up with Yeung To.
Before he died, he wanted to do one last good deed.
He came to me for help.
He wanted to use that 200 million...
...to force Ko Shing Man
to expose the boss behind him.
I don't mind losing,
but I can't let those bastards win
with a smile.
But we miscalculated one step.
Luckily, you came up with a plan...
...to trick Ku Cheuk Wah...
...into successfully baiting Kah Yuen Kwan,
and fulfilling Yeung's last wish.
On his behalf, I thank you.
I'm okay.
You're actually quite similar to Yeung.
For the sake of his case,
you sacrificed a lot.
Compared to him,
my sacrifice was nothing.
So what will happen to the 200 million?
It has all been handed over to the police.
Together with Yeung's testimony,
it should be very useful in court.
I hope that from now on,
no one will use charities...
...to commit crimes again.
The original purpose of the non-profit ordinance...
...was to facilitate tax exemptions...
...to encourage genuine charities...
...to help people.
But the law...
...will always have loopholes.
A small minority of people...
...will exploit these loopholes to break the law,
and tarnish everyone's reputation.
For us who study the law,
the most important thing
is our moral conscience.
With that conscience,
we can protect the original intent of the law.
It's not just us.
Everyone should have it.
It's time for me to retire.
Why don't you come back...
...and help me look after the firm and Man Ying?
Master.
I can come back to work,
but I have to ask that question.
Boss.
The client has signed the confidentiality agreement...
...and is waiting for you in the conference room.
First, I am obliged...
...to explain this confidentiality agreement.
Both signing parties...
...guarantee that all conversation...
...within this room will remain confidential.
If either party discloses
anything to a third party,
it will be considered a breach
of the agreement.
In that case,
the other party has the right to demand compensation,
for which there is no upper limit.
Understood?
Understood.
Very well.
I have one rule.
Before I take on any case,
I must ask one question.
Then I will decide whether to take the case or not.
Tell me the truth.
Did you do it?
