Morning. Hey, morning. Up so early? I'm hungry. I thought that after an arduous night, you would sleep in. I'm not like you, a dead snake. Dead snake? When I was awake... or asleep? A total failure. A failure? That bad? Just limp! It's disheartening! You can be critical, just don't be so loud! I did my best last night. I was covered in wounds after all. If I underperformed, it's understandable. Look at it! I said baguette. You bought back a lumpy one. You can tell it's soggy. It can't be made cr
ispy again. Isn't it a failure? You mean the baguette! What else? You thought I meant you? What? I'm a tough guy! I have confidence in myself. Sheesh! After last night, we are... The same as before. The same? Just as happy. Isn't it good? Yes... It's just like grabbing a bite
when you are hungry. Nothing special. OK? What? You aren't that sappy as thinking
about responsibility, are you? Passion is momentary. You overthink it. I never said that. If you are OK, I'm OK. I forgot to tell you, I'm an
omnivore. Good you are OK with it. Take your time. It hurts! Come in. Mr Ko. Kit... Mr Ling... It's lunch time. You are still here... I was reading the documents... I am going out. Leave the chores to me. What cuisine? You decide. I decide? Let us go to Heung To Lodge, alright? Heung To Lodge, so be it. What a crowd! There are other restaurants in town. Don't tell me it's a coincidence. Actually Miss Ling asked me out
this morning. You later asked me to join you for lunch. Since you are family,
I don't think you'll mind joining them. Not at all. We can order more dishes. Kit, don't just stand here. Come sit with me. Kit, come sit with me... Just sit down. Kit, this lunch is for thanking you
for saving Chloe. Were it not for you,
I would have lost my daughter. Look how pale she is. She's still in shock. Actually I am alright now. Brother Kit, thank you for saving me. You're welcome. Anyone would have done the same. Not necessarily. Usually people save their own skin first. Even a mothe
r may not be able to make
this sacrifice for her kid. What are you talking about? What saving their own skin first? What I mean is, if you had kept a closer watch
of your daughter, Brother Kit wouldn't have almost
lost his life for your daughter. It's lucky he's alive and kicking. Or you would have owed his mother a son! Daddy, let bygones be bygones. Kit is alright, isn't he? Indeed, Daddy. Once Kit is fully recovered, he'll continue to make the Lings money. Kit, if there's anything you want,
j
ust say it. I'll find you the best doctors. Save them for yourself. Kelly, order Brother Kit some tonic soup. Am I counted in? Kent? Cousin Kent... What's this auspicious day? Even Kent is here. I made a lunch date with Kent yesterday. I mean to thank him for going through thick
and thin with me in tackling Johnny Cub You guys asked me out for lunch as well. Why shouldn't we dine all together? You don't mind, right? No.., Really? Thank you. Thank you, Uncle. Come on, sit here. Oh, who's paying?
It's my treat. Why can't it be mine? Kit, Kent, feel free to order. Good! I don't stand on ceremony. Manager...please... What can I get you? This abalone is so big.
I think it weighs at least 5 taels. What about one per head? Good! And a steamed fish. A light dish is good. A blue grouper. A three catty one will do. Anything else? You decide on the side dishes. That's all? Feel free to order more. What about a buddha-jumps- over-the-wall
casserole? Kit bled so much. He needs nutritious food. Now
we are at it, let's order
fish maw steak for collagen. One plate per head. Two for me. Enough? Daddy, you are the one who's being bled. That's all for the time being. We can always order more later. That's all. Thank you. More... More? The tea has turned cold. Get us a hot one, please. Coming. Kit, you have a good appetite
and you look so tan. You must be sporty. Yes, I'm sporty. I like wheels. Me too! Let's have a ride together. What's your favourite? Porsche,
Lamborghini or Ferrari? BMX. BMX?
BMX is good! It's fast
and steady in turning... Ming, there's such a sports car brand? Yes. It's American. Quite good. It's a bike. I'm so full. I can skip dinner. You should start taking
cholesterol medication. Just one lunch. Take it easy. One? There are more to come. Now we are at it. I really don't get it... Why they would treat you to lunch. Exactly. We ordered the most expensive
dishes available. Instead of stopping us,
they fought for the bill. It really is hard to believe. Maybe they hav
e already known
you are the heir. No way! Don't underestimate their jungle instinct. They can sense who's their benefactor. It's like honey to ants. Mom sees so highly of you. They can smell it. Prepare your stomach for more
exotic delicacies. This force feeding is more demanding
than X games. I really prefer set meals. Now we are at it. X games are right for me too. What about a BMX date? What about now? Now? Just kidding. Up to you. OK. Chloe... Mommy. Drink it hot. It stinks! What's it? Herba
l tea for shock. It's a Chinese medicine prescription. Drink it. Mommy, I'm fine now. I don't think I need it. Look at you. You still look pale and dazed. You were full of beans before the kidnap. I am worried about some post-traumatic
stress disorder. Just drink it as a tonic. Come on. Drink it to make me feel better, alright? Come on... A family should have dinner together. I hate to see empty chairs. Come on, sit down. You guys really. Why didn't you tell me about the kidnap? Have you all for
gotten about me? Mom, come on. We didn't want you worried. Chloe is now back alive and kicking. All thanks to Auntie Hung and Cousin Kent. Were it not for Sister, I might not be able
to see my daughter again. The thought still haunts me. Now that Johnny Cub's dead and Chloe's back It's all well again. Let's put it behind us. Grandma, try the sea cucumber. It's very well done. It's soft. Have more.
It's good for the complexion. Good boy... Ricky, you are my darling. Yet I worry about you the most
. Why? Something wrong? You have not asked me out for two weeks. You used to take me for shrimp dumplings
every other day. I'm still waiting for it. Mom, Ricky's transferred to
the Logistics Department. He's a one-man band there.
He doesn't have the time. It's not like when I was working
with Daddy and Ming before. I promise you, I'll take you out for tea
whenever I am free. Good. Hung, why don't you transfer Ricky
back to Real Estate? It's a waste of his talent keeping him
in Logistics for chor
es. Mom, Logistics takes up one third
of our business. What he's handling aren't chores at all. Ricky is a smart boy. He picks things up at no time. It's good for him to learn the ropes
of different departments. Ricky, am I right? Definitely. Kit and I have good rapport. What now? Chloe, you alright? I'm fine... You look pale. You don't feel well? I feel dizzy. It's no big deal. What no big deal? You can't even hold your bowl. I'm sure you are still in shock. Look at her! She looks so pale and d
azed. How can she be fine? Indeed. You used to be so full of spirit. I think I am just tired. I really am fine. She said she's fine. Don't be so jumpy. Jumpy? It's easy for you to say.
It's not your son that's kidnapped. It breaks my heart to see
my daughter looking like this. Sister, I dared not break it to you. Chloe had nightmare every night
since her return. She cried for help in her sleep. When I went to her room to check her out,
she's in sweat. Poor girl! Yes. The cries woke me up though
I was a heavy sleeper. How come I didn't hear it? Because you slept like a log. Chloe, let me take you
to the doctor tomorrow. I had no nightmares. Oh no! You don't remember them? It really is very serious. Can it be some post-traumatic
stress disorder? What? Shut up if you know nothing at all. No one asked you. It's no use for us to make guesses here. To be safe, take her to a doctor
for a check-up. Right. A schoolmate of mine
is a psychotherapist. What about making an appointment for Chloe? L
eave it for later. She doesn't feel well. No dinner for her. You feel dizzy? Go up for some rest. Sister, go on without us. Come on, easy... Hugo, what? A moonlight party? Cool! Is Grace there? I'm coming... Halt! Come in with me. Your Auntie Hung has just averted
a disaster for you. Now you can't wait to go out for fun? What will others think of you? When will you grow up? Daddy, I've been lying low for some time. My friends thought that I was dead. Now that the firearm fiasco is over, all's we
ll again. What are you worrying about? All's well? With Johnny Cub and his men dead, you think your secret is safe? Don't you forget, your Auntie Hei
tried to set you up. We saw through her dirty trick. She has no evidence. What can she do? Take it easy. It won't blow. I have to rush. I'm late already. Hey... Auntie Hei, it's late. Did you take a wrong turn? It's good you father and sons are all here. I thought you were taking care
of your daughter. Why are you here? To settle the score with you
. Give your bean-counting habit a break. Leave it for the office. Don't be so cocky. Chloe is in this state because of you. It's only fair that I should
be here to do her justice. I really think you are sick. It's the guerillas' doing. You saw it. After her brush with death,
she's barely alive. She wouldn't have become like this
were it not for your dirty trick. She now has PTSD. Let me tell you. I'll settle the score with you. What dirty trick? Don't you frame us. Framing you? Ask Firearm Lau.
Scared? The truth will be known. Firearm Lau told me there's rumor that
he knew who stole Johnny Cub's shipment. The guerillas took him and tortured him
into saying it's me. That's why they kidnapped Chloe. The rascal who spread the rumor was you. No finger-pointing here! You started it! You tried to set us up with Firearm Lau. Or it wouldn't have led
the guerillas to you. Moreover, you have made so many foes. Many can't wait to see you dead. It's not our doing. Indeed. You have no evidence. No
one will believe your
one-sided accusation. You still deny it? Fine! I'll take it to Sister. I too will tell her how you tried to
make Kit your scapegoat. Let me whose story she will buy,
yours or mine. Auntie Hei, take it easy. We are family. Tell me how can we soothe you. I always say Ming is the smarter one. Your luxury project in Nam Wan
will soon go on sale. Two flats there as compensation. Two? It means 100 million dollars. Isn't it too much? You can afford it. Otherwise, I don't know
what
I'll tell Sister... it'll cost you much more than that... Two flats and we are even? You scratch my back, I scratch yours. Mom, easy... OK... Take your time... The vegan dishes here are still as good. Coming to pray here has the
mellowing effect. I knew you like it. That's why I asked
the abbot to reserve you a room. You spend a few nights here. I'll come to pick you up in two days. Good! You would do it without me asking. You do love me. I've told the abbot, no calls for Old Madam. She's too o
ld for the agitation. It's better for her to stay here. She'll learn of it sooner or later. It's not a step I want to take. But what they did broke my heart. It's about time I did housecleaning. I'll explain it to Mom after
it's blown over. Good... Your Auntie Hei is here. That's it. Bye. What's it? You look so dark. Who has offended you? Save it! I said two flats of the Nam Wan project. What did you give me? Both are right above the hopper room. It stinks when the windows are open. What do you
take me for? A beggar? What now? You said two flats. You got them right away. I honored my word. As for the smell...It's beyond my control. Look further...It's all greenery and the
sea...Isn't it soothing? You want to play? Don't you forget what you father and sons
have done to Chloe. Change the two flats or I'll go to Sister. I'll play along with you. Hold it... Well? Scared? Just wait. A scene needs viewers. What are you up to? You want to play. I'll go along. Mommy, Uncle. Chloe? What are you
doing here? I told you not to come back to work. Cousin Zau said newcomers need
to do body check. He has arranged it for me. I went to the doctor with him. Daddy and I worried about Chloe. So I took her to a renowned doctor. He gave her a clean bill of health. Her mental state is fine, much better
than you are, Auntie Hei. Oh... What? You think I'll take a quack's
word for it? You think I can be fooled by a so-called
checkup report? Who can fool you? You are the biggest liar. The best part is t
hat there's trace of
antihypertensive drug in her urine sample. You know she suffers from
low blood pressure. You fed her antihypertensive drug, no wonder she felt dizzy that night. Why didn't you tell me before
you were taken to a doctor? Mommy, was what Uncle said true? You are killing me. How stupid can you get? You were used by them! You have the nerve to scold her? It's good she's not as wicked as you are. You framed us for two flats. You just shut up! Shut up! You drugged your own daughter
! How dare you! I'll tell Sister all! I have never seen such a mother like you. So you want two flats... I am going to Sister... Go ahead. Chloe? What's going on? Auntie Hung... Come in. Miss Ling... Sister, why are we asked to come? Mandy, call it a day. Yes, Mr Ling. It sure is not for making tea. Sit down. Stop your infighting! Do you know what a family means? We three siblings have the same blood. We are like limbs. Yet you could harm your own flesh and blood
for personal interest! What are
you talking about? What harming our own? Have you heard some rumors about us? Don't you believe them. We do keep bickering, Yet we'll never harm our own or the Ling's. Then why was the Ling's assaulted? Auntie Hung, the culprit was
Yuen Ching-yan, Mr Yik's assistant. She took on the Thais for her own revenge
and stole the shipment. The Ling's was implicated. Yan made a mistake. She stole the shipment. But a shipping order was found on the truck The shipment was meant first sent
to our warehouse
and then to Thailand by our container ship. That means someone was abusing his
position to smuggle firearms for Johnny Cub I am sure you know who the person was. Auntie Hung, have you dug into it first?
It's serious. Don't wrong the innocent. I knew some of us had crossed the line
when we were bombed. I kept quiet because we had an external foe. I too hoped that the person
would turn himself in. Instead of admitting to his mistake
and redeeming himself, he tried to frame Ko Tsz-kit and Chloe
was
almost killed because of it. Indeed. Sister, call out this wicked man. Not as wicked as you are. You harmed your own daughter. Then you tried to frame us for it. You are the most wicked! Sister is talking about the firearm case. Don't try to change the subject. Sister, make him talk. Let me ask you first. Did you get two flats of the
Nam Wan project? You knew about the firearm smuggling. Instead of blowing the whistle, you tried to fish in troubled waters. Sister, I knew nothing beforehand. Chl
oe was kidnapped because of them, they gave me two flats as compensation. What compensation? You fed your daughter antihypertensive drug
and framed us for her PTSD. Are you not contented with what you have? If you ask me, will I say no to you? You harmed your daughter for two flats? Yes, I was greedy. But I have never harmed the family... No? You colluded together to check
Ko Tsz-kit's DNA with mine. We've been living together for so long, we've been through thick and thin... I never thought tha
t my kin would
scheme against me like foes. Sister, they suspected your relationship
with Ko Tsz-kit. The DNA test was their idea. What? You stole Sister's cup for testing. You were worried the framing
of Ko Tsz-kit would blow, so you asked me to help with the DNA test. Sister, I've got nothing to do with it. It's their idea... You colluded with Firearm Lau
to set Ricky up, didn't you? Because you had something to hide, or... Let go of me! Ricky, yes, Johnny Cub's dead. You have worked for me fo
r so long, you should have known no one can fool me. You thought you had pulled wool
over my eyes? I didn't call you out, it's to give you a chance to admit
your wrongdoing and redeem yourself. We have checked your personal account. There was a huge deposit from Thailand
before the explosion. It's the evidence of your collusion
with Johnny Cub. Auntie Hung, I am sorry... I never thought it would get out of hand. I meant to make some money only. If I had known Ko Tsz-kit was your son, I wouldn't
have made him my scapegoat. So you think it'd be fine
if it were someone else? You think it's alright to kill an innocent
outsider for your wrongdoing? What have I taught you? We have to stick to our principles
and bottom line. You are no different from
a killer of the innocent. Auntie Hung... Rascal, you are incorrigible! You are a bane to others! Now say sorry to Auntie Hung.... Auntie Hung, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance. Auntie Hung, it's my fault. If I had known Ricky had made
such a terrible mistake, I would have asked him to turn himself in. Keep on with your acting. Try stabbing yourself or
Sister won't relent. Sister, no punishment is too severe
for this rascal and his mistake. But he's your nephew.
Can you really be this heartless? You all are my kin. If someone wants to harm anyone of you, I'll spare no effort to protect you. But what have you done? One harmed her own daughter
for personal gain, one almost wrecked the family
for his illicit business. Whoever is
punished today,
none will be more broken-hearted than I am. But you have to pay for your mistake. I should be stricter with those
who are close to me. Or I am in no position to lead the alliance. You should have known about it. Auntie Hung, give me a chance. I know I was wrong, I do... I'll turn a new leaf...Auntie Hung... It's not for me to dispense punishment. Kit, one is your uncle, one your aunt,
the other two your cousins. They are your kin, and people
who almost killed you. Ricky was the c
ulprit. You decide what to do with him. Brother Kit, I didn't mean to harm you... Please forgive me. I am sorry...Brother Kit... Kit, let me beg you. Spare Ricky... Give him a chance. He knows he's wrong. If you find it hard to tell them
face to face, whisper it to me. It really is left to me? He almost had you blown up. It's fair that you should decide
on his punishment. Be decisive. You are now in our world. If you want to make it big here,
you have to play by the rules. Since we are family, l
et's forget about it. Good! You grew up in the Ling family. You know our rules. When you betrayed the family, you should have known about the consequence You can blame no one for what you get today You betrayed the Ling family, you can't stay with us anymore. You have to go. Sister, are you really so heartless? Do you really want to throw my son out? Auntie Hung, give me a chance. It won't happen again. What can I do outside? I've given you many chances. Don't force me to take the drastic step.
If you are still a man, live an honest life. Don't shame the Ling family again. Ricky... You look like you have lost your business. What? Ricky gave you a hard time? Come on, tell me about it. The one who smuggled the firearms
for Johnny Cub was Ricky. Everything was his doing, including the goods checking trap. He meant to blow me up to be his scapegoat. He set the trap for me. The father and son later suspected
my relationship with Mom. They stole our DNA for matching. Chloe's kidnap was the o
utcome
of their sibling feud. Mom was hopping mad. The least expected was that Mom
would pass the ball to me. I was asked to decide Ricky's fate. They are a den of thieves. What's your decision? Though they are like passersby to me, we are family after all. He begged me on his knees.
What else could I do? They are all wicked people. You felt sorry for him? Don't worry. Mom made the decision for me. She threw Ricky out. He can't come back to the Ling family again My world used to be very simple.
There were just surfing, cycling and
bantering with Auntie Mei. Now I know the world is treacherous. Even family members would scheme
against one and other. I can now feel the pressure
Mom is put under. It's hard for her. I too knew that she wanted to make
me a decisive man who can play tit for tat. I just couldn't do it. You are sissy. She did it for your own good. You need the gravitas if you want
to make it big. You have to earn people's respect. You should take a leaf form you mom. It's not
easy to live in the Ling family. It's not easy to be an heir. I never thought of being an heir. I went to work there to protect Mom only. Save it! Now that everyone knows
you are Ling Hung's son, whatever you think is not important. You are now involved, there's no going out. Don't you worry, I'll protect you. However treacherous the world is,
I still have you. Are you getting fresh with me? I just want some comforting. Didn't I just give you comforting words? Words aren't enough. I want action.
I go back up. What time is it? What took you so long? I'm not some delivery on call! All I ask is a goodbye pop. Show me some tenderness. Listen! I slept with you because
your brother is a wimp and a bore. I never saw it as a long-term relationship. I came out of pity. You should be grateful. Grateful? How's it a kindness to you? You weren't that haughty before. What? Is it because I am now down and out? Listen very carefully. Auntie Hung threw you out, not me. Don't you take it out on me! If y
ou are so proud,
make it big to show them! I'll come back to you. I am here to say goodbye to you. So long. What are you doing? Don't you worry. You are so cheap,
I can't bear to let you go. Let go of me! What are you doing? Ae you crazy? Since you are here, let's have some fun! I am your sister-in-law!
Show me some respect! Save it! You used to like it rough! Let go of me... Hello, Hilda? Hello? Hilda? Hello, Hubby...my phone is not working well. I missed some words. Yes, I am on my way back. I
t won't take long. Bye. Done? Let's carry on... You listen! When you saw me as a toy,
you too were one to me. Now that you are a nobody, I'd rather pay for a gigolo. Leave me alone from now on. Ricky... It's my fault, I failed to bail you out. You don't have to worry, I'll plead to Auntie Hung for you. Pa, don't! Don't beg that woman! She never saw me as her family. The Ling family has no place for me? I couldn't care any less! But let me tell you, I won't let it off. I know you are smart. Don't
worry, I have everything
arranged for you in Taiwan. You'll have a bright future there. Just keep in touch with me. Daddy, I know. You take care too. Ricky, Hilda is tied up. She can't come. I know. It's alright. You two come to
visit me when you have time. I always spared no effort for you. Hello, Hilda? Yet you failed to cherish it. You are now in this state, you asked for it. I asked for it? Turn a new leaf when you are over there. Don't make Daddy worry about you anymore. I know. I have to
go in. Daddy... Go for it! OK. Bye! Mom, we can go. You knew Ricky is my darling boy,
yet you threw him out! You lured me to spend a few days here, it's to put me in the dark. You wouldn't let me see Ricky. Since when you became this heartless? Mom, I knew you love Ricky. I didn't want you to be upset. Ricky made a terrible mistake this time. For the Ling family, I had no choice. Have you spared a thought for me? Antony has this illness. Ricky is the only one to carry on
the family line. Yet you
threw him out. How can I face your father's tablet
when I go back home? How? Whatever. Let's go home first. No. So long as Ricky is not home,
I won't go back. Mr Yik, take my bag back in. I'd rather die here than going back. Alright, you stay here then. I'll come back to pick you up in a few days. Auntie Hung wanted us to come home
for dinner. She said we'll have a guest.
Who's that person? It can't be a twilight romance, she's bringing home her boyfriend. It seems Ricky has told you a lot
befo
re he left. No. It's just my wild guesses. Save it. Here she is. Auntie Hung... Sister... Just sit down. I remember you. You saved me and Auntie Hung. That's why Auntie Hung invites
you here for dinner. Chloe, he's not just your savior.
He's your cousin too. Cousin? Since when we have one more cousin? To be exact, Ko Tsz-kit is my natural son. Your natural son? I'm sorry, I had kept it from you
for so long. Kit and I had been separated. We were reunited not so long ago. You have met the most of
them. Still, I should formally introduce
you to them. Auntie Hei. Her husband Sunny. You know Chloe. Kelly, Auntie Hei's elder daughter. Tina is Lit's wife. Antony, Lit's elder son.
His wife Hilda. Hi... Hello all. My name is Ko Tsz-kit. Just call me Kit. Kit, welcome to our family. Thank you. We are family. Make yourself at home. Cousin Kit, hello. Hello. I suddenly have so many relatives. I am not used to it. Try getting used to it. Now you have to share a table with so many. Come sit down...
The most surprising thing is, Auntie Hung is now so prim and proper, who would have known she's
passionate when young. Unmarried mother was
unconventional at that time. Sister, awesome! Be a role model. Sister, I meant he should mind his words. I had no other meaning. I think we are all hungry. Dinner can be served. Yes. Where's lit? He's tied up. He'll be home soon. We start without him. Don't stand on ceremony. Let's have dinner. This way... Kit, now that we are family, why don't you move in?
We can take care of one another. Right... I don't have it in mind for the time being. Why not? You and Auntie Hung had been
separated for so long. Don't you want to spend more time with her? I do, but I am used to a simple life. Then I found out I have an extended family
after my reunion with Mom, they were unfamiliar to me. I'll try my best to adapt to it. Mom said that in this family,
everyone puts the family first. No distrust or scheming is allowed. I do hope that I am up to it. I too hope t
hat you will really
see me as family. What now? You started dinner without me? So am I now nobody to you? Is it? Daddy is drunk. Let me take him up. I'm not drunk! Let go of me! It's you the illegitimate son again! Once my son's gone,
you came here to take his place! Let me tell you, no way! He's here to covet our fortune! Go away... Up... Go away! And you! You listen very carefully! I am the heir of the Ling family. You just can't compare! You are just an adopted son! Go away! Take him up! Don'
t let him blather here! Uncle, come on... Let go of me... Uncle, if I have done something wrong, please forgive me. Have some tea. I am not your uncle! So you think an apology can wipe out all? Let me tell you, I will settle
the score with you! Kit, sorry... I'll settle the score with you... You are drunk, come on... Let go of me... Don't bother with him! His son's in the wrong yet
he blames others for it. Come on, sit down. Your uncle is like that. It'll be fine once he's got over it. I'll have
dry clothes taken
for you to change into. OK. Thanks. Auntie Hung, has Grandma been told
about your reunion? If she knows she has another grandson, she'll be very happy. Right. Ricky has been her favorite. Now that Kit is here to replace him, she'll be overjoyed.
