In 1997, Hong Kong's sovereignty...
was returned to China.
The civiI servants and the police of...
the present Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government,
are renowned for their incorruptibility.
But when Hong Kong was stiII a British coIony,
it had gone through a dark age...
when bribery was rampant.
And the most corrupt syndicate was...
the police.
In those times,
everybody was out to grab money.
Bribery was regarded as normaI practice.
During the years between 192 and 1972,
itwas estimated that the total amount of bribes reached $10 biIIion,
roughIy equivaIent to $500 biIIion of today's money.
You bastard! You son of a bitch!
Stop it...

Sir...
My dear cousin...
Save my son
They won't reIease him. There is nothing I can do.
UnIess...
UnIess what?
UnIess I can find GoId.
Who is GoId?
He's the ''collector''.
What does he collect?
Don't be silly. Let's go.
My dearcousin...
What is a ''collector''?
They are the middIemen among prostitutes, gambIers...
drug traffickers and the poIice.
Every week, they go to the gambIing houses,
opium dens, porn cinemas and dance clubs...
to collect bribe money, and then distributed them among the police.
Bribery was normal practice in the PoIice Force at the time.
Everyone was paid monthIy.
Everyone had a share,
which they could not refuse.
If you refused to take bribe money, you became the common enemy.
Atthe time the anti-corruption bureau within the police...
took bribes like everyone else. No! They tookthe largest share.
The person who is entrusted by the corruption syndicate.
to handIe such a huge sum ofmoney is...
GoId.
Detective Sergeant MaJor, Lak Chui is said to have received...
a big favorfrom him.
To return the favor, Lak made GoId the coIIector.
Lak and Gold are like twin brothers.
