Infernal Affairs (Mou gaan dou) (無間道)

"Verse 19"

"The worst of the Eight Hells is called Continuous Hell."

"It has the meaning of Continuous Suffering- Thus the name."

5 years ago,

we started valet parking in Tuen Mun.

At Palace Restaurant in Tai Hing Estate,

Tuen Mun.

We were full of ambition.

But 2 weeks had hardly gone by,

and the cops started busting us every day.

Within one year,

6 of our brothers died.

Thanks to the Buddha, my life has been spared.

What thousands must die so that Caesar may become great.

But I don't believe in destiny.

The rule of this game

is to take fate in our own hands.

You are the newest in my gang.

Your records are the cleanest.

You can choose your own future.

OK.

I wish you guys

every success in the police force.

Bottoms up, officers.

27149, you were here 10 minutes ago.

How many files were on my desk?

Six, sir. Four beige ones on the left,

one red and one white on the right.

What do you think of me?

Sorry, I'm not sure, sir.

But I know you're in a hurry today,

'coz your socks don't match.

27149, you can go now.

Yes, sir.

You owe me $500.

Okay, but wait till pay day next month.

I told you he would make the best undercover cop.

Now that you're in the cadet school, you should follow the rules.

Those who break the rules will be like him.

They will be expelled.

Who wants to trade place with him?

I do.

this is a long-term undercover mission.

Your records in the cadet school will be erased.

Only Superintendent Wong and I

know of your identity.

This mission is highly dangerous,

is that clear?

Yes, sir.

Sir, I can't stand it any longer.

I'm either harassed by cops

or beaten up by gangsters.

4927, you are still a rookie.

Give me a good reason why I should promote you.

Hang on? Why don't you go hang yourself instead?

I won the Silver Whistle Award at the cadet

and have received numerous kudos as an officer.

I am confident I can lead the police force, sir.

Move forward.

Hurry UP-

Please go over there to take your mugshot.

Excuse me.

Can I try this stereo?

What speakers are you using?

Nothing special, any recommendations?

Try this tube amplifier, made in Hong Kong, 10 grand only.

And use this cable, also locally made, about 1000.

The sound is as good as expensive European amps.

Sweet high notes, crisp middle, strong bass.

In a word, transparent.

Come and listen.

Human voices are drifting towards you.

See that?

Voices are indeed drifting towards you.

Try this one.

This is ideal for listening to oldies.

What do you think?

Much better indeed.

Any discount if I buy the whole set?

Buy the tube amp here,

but not the speakers.

Go to Cheung Wai; it's cheaper there.

Whom should I ask for?

Just tell them Yan sent you.

Which one is mine?

The one in the middle.

Okay, thanks.

You're welcome.

Is Cheung Wai open yet?

Sure.

You bastard.

I told you to watch the store, not to send my customers away.

But your speakers are over-priced.

If I don't sell them at this price,

how can I afford to pay "protection money"?

You can try not paying for a change.

Hey, the cable.

I'll return it in a few days.

$4,000 for a few days?

Where are you rushing to?

A funeral.

Tell me.

How many times have you been busted for assault?

I am trying to convince the Department of Justice

that you have psychological problems

and need to see a shrink.

But you keep on beating people up.

Are you're really going nuts?

Have you forgotten you're a cop?

You told me it's only for 3 years.

But after 3 years come another 3 years, and another.

It's almost 10 years already, boss.

Can't you be a bit more courteous to me?

I'm the only one in Hong Kong who knows your real identity now.

Maybe I'll just erase your file

so you can stick with the Triads for good.

What do you want me to do?

Remind myself I'm a cop every day?

Shouting out "Drop your gun, I'm a cop."

Even in my dreams?

When will Sam place his order?

No idea.

Sometime this week.

What?

Sometime this week.

The Thais are here.

If Sam doesn't accept the goods, they will resell them.

Where is the warehouse?

How the hell do I know?

I started working for him only 3 years ago.

Okay, I'll let you retire after this.

Bullshit.

I heard this a zillion times already.

Shit. These mikes again?

The Police is loaded with cash

tell them to get more advanced models.

How about implanting it into your body?

Into which part of my body?

A pinhole camera?

Where's the lens?

Your birthday is on the 25th, right?

I never wear watches.

$0?

If we got nothing for the Interpol by 5pm,

the counterfeit passport case is off.

3:15. Tea time.

What would you like, boss?

Tea with milk, please.

They won't talk without their attorney.

Has paged their lawyers but he hasn't called back yet.

I won't talk without my attorney.

I am Mr Lau, your attorney.

Did you call home?

Why should I call home?

It's good then.

Last Friday,

from 3:45 to 5:00pm?

Where were you?

Brother M0 told me to ask you

if your family needs any help.

No need to look around.

They won't record anything when a lawyer is present.

It's not admissible in court anyway.

Brother M0 sent you?

Those 2 kids next door

have squealed on the workshop already.

Cops are heading there now.

Brother Mo told you not to say anything.

If your brother is there,

tell him to leave right away.

Here.

What?

Scram.

I ask you to scram, do you hear?

Scram right away.

All right! I'll leave you.

If you don't trust me, so be it.

Take care.

Yes, don't talk without your attorney.

I don't need you to tell me that.

Fanny.

Yes?

Take this.

Check this number.

Sure.

Send this message for me.

Ngau Tau Kok, Cheung Fai Industrial Building, 2nd Floor.

Got it.

Ngau Tau Kok, Cheung Fai Industrial Building, 2nd Floor. OK.

Boss.

All set.

A Triad member.

Where's my tea?

Here.

Thanks.

You're great.

How did you know it's Mo's hideout?

Thanks.

Hello, yes.

No problem. OK.
