The case is crucial to Madam.
Don't screw up! I won't!
When can Madam leave the hospital? She already did! Already? Are you alright? The case means everything to me, I can't miss any details. I must personally interrogate the suspect. On 23 May 1987, did you go to a hooker called Yuen Shiu-lan at 88 Sai King Street? That was over 20 years ago,
I don't remember. We found your fingerprints and semen
at the scene. We believe you're connected to her death. Not only did you not pay Yuen Shiu-lan, but
you robbed her as well. You started a fight and you killed her
by mistake, right? No, I didn't kill her. I only pushed her away. I thought you didn't remember! Tell us what happened! I was driven by an urge, I read in the paper about one-woman brothels and wanted to give it a try. It advertised a comprehensive service, but when I got there, I found her so unwilling!
She kept saying no to everything! Don't work as a hooker then! Who are you calling a hooker? Calm down, Madam. Lechers like you ma
ke all men look bad! Then what happened? I complained about her service
just so that I wouldn't have to pay. She grabbed me and wouldn't let go, I got angry and slapped her! You're a cheap scum! You even hit her! Calm down, Master Kau! Then what? I knocked over the money box, I was flat broke back then, I thought I'd take the money. Just when I reached the door, she grabbed me and pulled me back. I heard someone coming down the stairs, so I pushed her into the corner and ran. I'm warning you, do
n't make up stories. I wouldn't dare, do I look like a killer? You only pushed her away? Did you attack her with a hard object? No! You said you heard someone
coming down the stairs. Did you see who it was? I barely got my pants back on. But when I reached downstairs, I saw a little girl from that apartment, who had her back to me and was
playing with something. Madam, I know I'm a creep, but I'm not a killer. Look! It says here the victim
had a daughter who's a cop, and her name is Yuen x-gat.
You suppose it's the one we know? Yes! The security guard who molested Vanessa S is now a suspect in Shiu-gat's mom's murder. You knew about this? We only found out by accident. Shiu-gat doesn't like to talk about her Mom. She's been on this case for a long time, your case unearthed new evidence. No one escapes the long arm of the law. What about the law? Thanks. Mom, read this, it's about Shiu-gat! Murder suspect of unsolved case
25 years ago strikes again Latest development of hooker murder
on
Sai King Street, suspect under arrest. The victim was Shiu-gat's Mom? You know her? No, I just didn't know Shiu-gat
had such a past. I was shocked when I read it. Does your Dad know? Master Kau and I have discussed
the case with Shiu-gat, we hope to help her solve it. Why didn't he tell me? Another team is working on it, we're conducting our own investigation. Now that we have new evidence, we can officially reopen the case. The bill? Right! Enjoy your food. I'm done, let's go. Are you coming?
I still have an egg tart... Take your time, I'll get the bill. Hey... What? You were awfully quiet when we were
talking about Shiu-gat, still mad at her for arresting you? That's crazy! Let me tell you something, Shiu-gat defied a direct order from her boss and personally gathered proof
to clear you. You know Police have rules, she passed everything to her colleagues. You still think she doesn't trust you? Welcome! What are you doing here? I came to apologise! This is breaking and enterin
g. As long as you're not mad, breaking and entering is nothing. I'd be a killer or arsonist. I was wrong to use that tone with you
at the police station. I was taken into custody and I was in a foul mood. I didn't know what you have done for me. Please don't be mad, Milady. I'm not some "lady". Please forgive me, Madam. After you finish the candle-lit dinner
I have prepared for you, don't be mad anymore, OK? You are cooking? There...don't be mad anymore. Let me serve you... I read in the papers,
the security guard
who molested Vanessa S is your Mom's killer, right? My instincts tell me it wasn't him. There was someone else? I thought we could celebrate
the closed file. Soup is ready... The defendant Hung Shu-gan is charged
with molesting the deceased, Vanessa S aka Poon Tsi-yin at Wang Cheong Mau
Industrial Building on 17 October. Since the defendant pleaded guilty, the court will consider the plea letter
for the defendant before making a ruling this Saturday. The defendant will remain
in custody. Wong Sir, we got wind that the defendant
Hung Shu-gan is involved in the murder of a prostitute
on Sai King Street 25 years ago. Is that true?
Yes! Wong Sir, will he be charged for murder? No comment. The case is still
under investigation. Please say a few words, Wong Sir. I'm sorry... Can you give us a comment? Please say a few words, Wong Sir! Can you tell us... Wong Sir... I need to talk to you about
your Mom's case. Can you come out? What do you want to tell me? I saw the news,
I realised the victim was your Mom. What did you do on 23 May 1987?
That's why you approached me. You were investigating me! You knew? Yes, after Old Chu came to me, I remember that night you
came to my house with Little Yiu. You were in my room. I noticed you have opened the
photo album from 1987. I began to wonder if both incidents
were related. You seem concerned about that photo album, is it because something unforgettable
happened that year? Of course, that was the year I made a lot of mone
y and my luck changed for the better. Your luck didn't change! After you killed my Mom, you stole her money
for your smuggling business and made a huge fortune. No, I definitely didn't kill your Mom, and neither did Hung Shu-gan. Then who did? I don't know. Then what are you saying? I don't want you to
pin it on an innocent man. Come to the station and testify.
Tell us the truth. Then things will get complicated, I don't want any trouble. You don't want trouble, or are you the killer? I repeat,
I didn't kill your Mom. Then turn yourself in! That's all I have to say. If you want to arrest me, you'd better have proof. Still working? He's making me come up with
a new storyline, Vanessa S is dead, what's the point? Get another actress. The boss wants to change the plot and do something more gimmicky. If I don't come up with an idea, your sister will give me a hard time. She thinks highly of you. Because I am capable. You're so good with ideas
to earn a meal, cough up an idea for me now! I
only think of x-rated materials, will they put those on a film? Hold it...I have an idea! Sit down... What? Foul-mouthed comedies are in,
they do well at the box office. Dirty words would fill the air!
The MK buddies will love it. But it won't sell in China. Besides, Mr Fong wouldn't like it. Swearing is not the only pop culture, how about a detective story? Make use of Vanessa S's drug abuse, to bring out a story of a serial killer... Then you can use... You're using this to your benefit! What
do you mean? You want to play the cop, right, Sir? That's an idea! You? You want this film to be the first
in history to get a zero at the box office? That's not how I look at it! Hey! What? Cast me in the lead for another
"A Simple Life". Thank you for your contribution, it's time to go to bed. Come on, good night! What time is it? It's late! The underground is closed,
do you have an extra bed? Good night! I don't mind the sofa! Good night! I wanted to save some money. Don't treat me li
ke a lunatic. Actually, I can sleep... The orange is sweet... They have no sympathy! Everyone picks on me... Well? How about my place? We have just met. But we chatted online for a few days! I've bought a new game. Let's play it. Alright...I'm bored anyway. Getting a girl with just a video game? What has the world come to? At least I used to get a handbag. Girls can be so stupid! Wait here, I'll go buy something. I've found myself a girl, she's quite cute! What? A party of more than 10? Don't wo
rry, she'll do it. I'll add a few drops of GHB into her drink, we can do anything we want. Listen to this, kid! Don't worry, she'll do it. I'll add a few drops of GHB into her drink, we can do anything we want. Look at you, you're so gullible! They plan to gang rape you! What can I do? Let's go! Where are you going? What now? Don't worry... Go to Hell, creep! If you have the urge, pay for the service. Don't con the kids online. What...are you talking about? Why are you stuttering? I recorded wha
t you said! Wicked hag! I'm the Scum Killer! Yeah! My husband is having an affair. Calm down, Mrs Tang. Have you thought about discussing it
with your husband? I dare not ask him. I'm afraid if I bring it up, he'll ask me for a divorce. Does he know you know? We're both pretending...I don't know! It must have been hard for you
to put up with it for so long. I want to bear with it too, but each time I see him, I think of him holding the other woman, do you know how hard it is? Honey, I passed by
this shop at lunch, they carried cute baby clothes. See if you like them. They're pretty. Honey, leave this to me. I don't want you to work so hard
going to work and doing the chores. Leave everything at home to me. I've asked a friend to find me
a part time maid I know you don't want
to live with a stranger. I've figured out your due date. I'll take a long vacation
so that I can spend more time with you. Chun-ping... I know I've spent too much time at work. I promise I'll make time for you. Hav
ing it out may not be a good thing. Now that you're pregnant, you can't ask for a divorce at this point. You must think about what's best for
the three of you, not two. Teach me what to do. You must deal with it, don't run from it. I'll get you a glass of water with honey. Hold on, I want to talk to you. What is it? Tell me honestly, are you having an affair? Of course not! I found a condom wrapper in your car. Don't lie to me! Honey, I was out drinking with a client, I was drunk, I didn't mean
to... Who is that woman? I don't remember. I was so drunk that I blacked out.
I really didn't mean it, Honey. I keep thinking these few days
if you don't love me anymore and you don't want the baby. Of course I want you and the baby. Trust me, it won't happen again. I promise I'll take good care of you
and the baby, OK? Here... Come on, let's eat... Lamb stew is Sum's signature dish. Let's eat. Why are you here? Don't be rude, I invited him. I'm good friends with your Dad. Why didn't I know abou
t it? Let's eat... Honey... What? You seldom eat lamb, how come you've been asking me
to make it lately? They say lamb is good for
kidney deficiency. Eat some more... You have kidney deficiency? No, just taking preventive measures. Are you sick, Dad? What? There's no need to worry. Master Kau asked me to find him a
famous urologist. It's nothing serious, I've double checked. Keep your mouth full... You're sick, Honey? Why didn't you tell me? Are you OK now? I'm not sick! Silly! I know why
Dad invited you for dinner! He needed your help. I wasn't much help. No, having a doctor friend around is handy if anything should happen. You're only a phone call away. But he's useless! Don't be so blunt! Exactly! No wonder you scare off the guys! What are you laughing at? Yan, you two make a good match. I'll be so relieved if you're an item. What's the latest on Shiu-gat's Mom? Enough evidence to charge
the security guard? Shiu-gat doesn't think he did it. She plans to pursue? It was over 20
years ago, you won't find any evidence. That's not necessarily true. They didn't have forensic science back then. But it's different now, you can review all the old evidence, and should be able to find new leads. Are you alright, Sister Sum? Let me help you... I'm fine, sit down... Hey... It's OK! Be careful!
I will. Be careful, Honey. It's OK, sit down... Take this fragment, it contains fingerprints and blood, even after over 20 years, you can still find them with
today's technology. Siste
r Sum? That's what we're doing now. Good! But you and Shiu-gat are defying
Wong Sir's order. Will you get in trouble? You didn't have to walk me down. I wanted to talk to you. What's wrong with you? Nothing, I have a cold sore. Where?
It's far in... I'm returning this, it's too expensive. No, please keep it. No, I'm not the woman you bought it for, save it for someone you really want it for. No...I want you to keep it. What for? I get the picture... We're friends, right? Quit mumbling! You'll on
ly scare off all the girls! You're useless! Next time, be smart! Just take it back! I'm going back up...bye! Shiu-gat! Godmother? You're making a delivery? Yes, we're very busy today. I had to do it myself. Have a seat. They told me you had an accident
with the bike. Are you OK? I'm fine, thanks. Really? That's great! I've made stewed pig knuckles. They're perfect for you. That's my favourite! Thanks! Kau told me you're still working
on your Mom's case. Have you made any progress? Not much. I kn
ow you're a filial child, but if you keep it up, will you lose your job? I'm not worried. If I catch the killer, I don't care if I can't be a cop anymore. I know how you feel. But don't work too hard, you need to mind your health, you hear? I will, don't worry! You're brilliant! Are you a Madam? I'm the Scum Killer! Yeah! Yeah! She's a member of our staff, Ha Sze-ka. This was posted online for 3 days,
the hit rate was already over 500,000. I suggest we put her in the film. Our film is about youn
g girls, casting this auntie into the movie
will raise the average age. "Blossomed women" are in. If we cast her into the movie and pitch her against the young girls,
the story should be hysterical. I like Little Yiu's idea. You're not worried her background
will affect the film? Poverty is more shameful
than prostitution these days. We can use Ka-ka's background
as a PR gimmick. That's what I thought too. Let's re-write the script, base it on
Little Yiu's idea. Little Yiu, I'm putting you in ch
arge
of Ka-ka's contract. OK. Martin, what about Mr Lam's contract? I need to revise some of the terms. Mr Lam has called me several times. Sorry, I've been busy with
the Sleepless City, so... I know the Sleepless City is important,
but you can't ignore the rest. Why not let Little Yiu follow up
on the outstanding issues. Do you have a problem, Little Yiu? None! Meeting adjourned! Bye, Mrs Fong. What else do you wish to lecture me on? Hurry up and let Little Yiu sign the papers. He's smart, if h
e knows too much he may spot things he shouldn't have. No one will know, as you've been keeping
the books in good order. Even if he finds anything, it'll be too late to drag himself out. Come in. Are we interrupting? Can we have a word? Sure! We've just found out...congratulations! I'm just doing my job. You're so modest. Come on, don't be so modest. Why else would Mr Fong promote you? Thank you... Ka-ka, I heard you're in a film. Congratulations! She'll be a major star soon. She's exuding her s
tar qualities already. I did show my star qualities
at the Night Shadow, but people were too blind to see that. Of course, I've already been blind, unlike Little Yiu, who has such vision. I'm buying next time
you go to the Night Shadow. Consider that a token of my apology. Maybe...I'm very busy. I'll be making films, and TV series. I know you're busy, just call me, OK? Is that all? That's all. We'll get out of your way. Bye! Let's do lunch. OK! Bye, Little Yiu! Bye, Ka-ka. Bye! Bye! They are so
cheap! They completely ignored me back then. Now that I'm going to be a star, they are kowtowing to me. I've been working here for so long, they've never talked to me
except in meetings. Now they are coming to me
to talk nonsense. Mr Fong is right. You must have power
to earn people's respect. It's my turn to get ahead! I beg of you, I highly recommended you. You'd better do a good show. Don't worry, I'm hot on the internet. The box office will do well
with me in the lead. You'll get another pro
motion. What's your plan about my position? Focus on filming, forget about being my assistant. Do I still get paid? In your dreams! Leave with no pay. Cheapskate! What? Hold on...sign this! Hurry up! What is it? The boss wants this. Just sign...hurry! Let me take a look! I need to go buy a bag and some nude bras... and other things, just hurry! Alright...let me read this. I'm meeting the boss tomorrow, hurry! I'm signing... 1, 2, 3...
I'm signing! OK...thank you! Bye! OK, thank you, Little
Yiu. You're back early.
I thought you were at the races. Come here, Honey! We need to talk. About what? I want to change and be a good man. You're my wife. I have neither the patience nor the desire
to play guessing games with you. What are you saying? How long do you plan to lie to me? What have you heard? You make Little Yiu sign
all sorts of papers, and won't show me the books
on the movie city. What are you up to? I knew you wouldn't let Little Yiu
work for me. You've been using him to chec
k on me! I'm not checking on you, I'm concerned. Why has Lam Keng invested so much
in our films? Why does he want you to build
the movie city? Are you laundering money for him? Don't say that unless you have proof! Don't be deceived by Lam Keng's smiles. He's not what he seems. Two years ago he had a business partner who wanted to break the partnership, he was later found poisoned in a hotel room. If he's the one who had done it,
he should have been arrested already. I object to any deals with h
im. I don't want you to get in so deep
that you can't back out. Are you lecturing me? When I first met you, you taught me that. Everyone toes the line when doing business. As long as you make money,
who cares where the money came from? Don't forget why I'm working so hard! I'm doing it for you, Fong Chi-Lik! When you needed cash to fill the karst caves
and the shareholders objected, we almost had to give up
on the Sleepless City. If we didn't work with Lam Keng,
the company couldn't even operate
, and you could no longer the CEO. I don't have to be the CEO, and I don't have to build
the Sleepless City. What are you saying? When you thought you were dying, you said it was your life-long dream. You said you wanted to watch Hong Kong's
night scene from the top floor, and show off your power. That's why I've slaved myself to
make your dream come true. Now you're telling me
you don't have to build it? That makes me the biggest fool! Yes, I've said all those things, but things do change. You
have changed, ever since you had a new heart, you have become a different person. You don't understand, Honey. I almost died, the experience gave me
a different perspective. Money and power are like floating clouds. I can't waste the second chance
granted by Heaven. That's why I must change. That's your excuse! You have fallen for Yuen Shiu-gat. She has changed you. Why would you think that? Say no more! What I have done, I was doing it for you. If you think I was wrong about you, all the more r
eason for you to support me and prove that you still love me. I can help you turn the LCK Group into
the strongest corporation, and show off how much power we have. What did Mrs Fong say? She wouldn't admit anything,
but I guess I was right. She's using the Wonder Eyes to launder
money for Lam Keng. Oh no! She'll go to jail for that! Last night, I saw the old me
when I looked at her. She has become what she is
because of me. Now that she knows I'm spying for you, she won't let me stay. Let me wo
rk for you again. No, I must have more evidence,
before I can stop her. I want you to stay in the Wonder Eyes
to gather more evidence, only then can I bargain with her. This is the only way to help Sin-hang
get rid of Lam Keng. Mrs Fong and Martin would
never trust me again. You're smart, you'll think of a way. Now you're the only one I trust. Try it. Well? You like it? I love it! You do like it? When can we eat? I have work to do at the office. It'll be after 10 when we finish dinner! No, it's
not that late! My watch stopped! Is this a ploy for me to buy you a watch? How generous! Then I hope everything at home will break, that the car breaks down,
the building falls down... Including me, so you can replace me? No, I'll try to fix you. Really? Really! Let me get the food. Hello, Mrs Fong? Are you happy? About what? Did you check? Check what? Never mind, call me after checking
your bank account. There you are!
Mrs Fong. I don't usually check my bank account
on pay day, so I didn't
know about the transfer. I don't deserve this. Of course you do. You're supposed to watch me
for my husband. How much is he paying you a month? I hear it's less than $100K. I can give you a lot more. Just go back and humour him, put in a good word for me
when you report to him. I'll give you a bonus every month, and this flat is yours. I started out as a bartender, I owe everything I have to Mr Fong, I can't betray him. You won't have to. I'm asking you to be a go-between, to ease the tension b
etween us. You slave for him, but look at this... the gossipies say there's something
between my husband and your girlfriend. I hear you don't believe it. I can assure you, something is going on. Of course I don't want my husband
to steal your girl. But you're a man, you must have the ability to keep a girl. If you work with me, you'll have money and connections, and any woman you want. Don't forget he's my husband, no matter how upset he is with me, he won't leave me, understand? I need time to
think about it. Morning! Coffee?
No, thanks! Hooker murder suspect Hung Shu-gan,
committed suicide in custody What happened? I have to go. You're here too! I've read about Hung Shu-gan's suicide,
how is he now? He'll live. He's out of danger. What is it to you? A guilty conscience? I have to go. So soon? Can't face your shameful deed? You knew Hung Shu-gan is not the killer, why won't you come forward? Luckily he didn't die, or you'd have taken another life. If you won't admit your past mistake
s, no amount of charity donations
and good deeds will do, for your own conscience won't let you off. I didn't kill your mother. Then why won't you come forward? Why? Scared? Keep up with your evil-doing. See how you can answer to Yiu Yat-shan
and his good heart! If you won't admit your past mistakes, no amount of charity donations
and good deeds will do. Keep up with your evil-doing. See how you can answer to Yiu Yat-shan
and his good heart! Honey! Come with me! What were you doing at the statio
n? It doesn't concern you. Then why does Hung Shu-gan's suicide
concern you? I can prove he didn't kill anyone. You killed that woman? No, I only took Yuen Shiu-gat's Mom's money. You intend to confess to robbery? I'll feel much better if I do. You're the CEO of the LCK Group, how can you confess to a robbery
from over 20 years ago? I can't live with a guilty conscience. Stop talking about your conscience. Since you had the heart transplant, you have changed into someone I don't know. Honey, no
matter how much I have changed, one thing will never change. I will always love you. If you love me, don't turn yourself in. Honey... I'll book tickets right now. We'll fly to Australia
for a second honeymoon. Wait till this whole thing settles
and we'll start all over. I'm sorry. Mr Kuk. We all know the purpose of
Mr Fong's visit. If it's OK with Mr Fong, we can get started. 25 years ago, I was flat broke. I was told selling contraband goods
could bring a fortune, but I didn't have any money. I
went to 88 Sai King Street,
to ask Old Chu for a loan. You mean Chu Chung-yan? That's correct. But he refused because I hadn't
paid up an old debt. I was pissed and left in a huff. When I reached 1/F, I saw Hung Shu-gan running out of a flat. I went over to see what had happened. I saw a woman lying unconscious
on the floor, and there was money everywhere. Since I was short on cash, I bent over to pick up the money. and didn't notice the woman
had woken up. She hit me with a glass bottle. I pus
hed her aside and left with the money. That's why I'm certain Hung Shu-gan
didn't kill the woman. Did I kill her? I doubt it. Because she was still alive when I left, she was just wounded. I saw a cartoon once about a time machine. Time will stop at the push of a button. I really want to own that machine, so we can always keep tonight. Why... Your heart has changed! You lied... Mr Fong, we may need you to
come in for further questioning. You should also be prepared. You may be charged for assaul
t and robbery. I understand. I'll walk you out. Madam, what are you doing here? You're supposed to be on leave. Tomato C called me, saying Fong Chi-lik
was turning himself in. If he confessed to the murder, why did you let him go? He didn't confess to murder,
just assault and robbery. What? He turned himself in only to clear
Hung Shu-gan of murder. We have no evidence to prove his guilt, it's no use to keep him in custody. Did you see the news last night? Mr Fong turned himself in! You're kiddin
g! I can't believe he robbed a hooker
when he was young. Any news about Mr Fong?
No! Oh no! If he's arrested,
will the LCK fall apart? So much for my dream of becoming a star. Maybe not... Morning, Mrs Fong. Morning, Mrs Fong. Mrs Fong. Morning, I understand your worries. Mr Fong is indeed on leave
for personal reasons, but nothing will happen to the company. I can assure you, even in his absence, the LCK will be up and running. There'll be a shareholders' meeting shortly to sort out restructuri
ng of the management. I'll keep you posted. Yes, Mrs Fong. Thanks, Mrs. Fong. Now get back to work. Yes, Mrs Fong. Martin, try to appease them, and call the shareholders' meeting ASAP. Yes, Mrs Fong. Little Yiu, come with me. Judging from my husband's situation, he won't be running the LCK
in the near future. Without him, your position is shaky. You wish to fire me? Whether or not you can stay, depends on how you can help me. It's up to you if you have to go back
to being a bartender. The more o
ne has, the harder it is
to make a choice. When fame and fortune is pitched
against one's conscience, how many people would choose the latter?
