His Fatal Ways (老表，你好嘢！)

"Wide is the river of rolling waves"

"wind-blown fragrance of hay permeates both banks"

"the riverbank is where my home is"

"I am used to the whistle of the boatman"

"and the white sails of the boats"

Mainland police have arrested a niu fellow

he admitted to helping su

smuggle narcotics from the golden triangle

but...

Why did he testify against su?

Drug trafficking in China is capital punishment

if he blames it all on su

he'll be spared death, just imprisonment

sister'll escort the prisoner here

you'll help out

sir...

It's easy. A simple hand-over

then show her around

The air smells bad in Hongkong

right

damn it

why did you spit on my shoe?

Sorry

if you have to

spit on the floor. That's what it's for

goddamn it! You're shit

not on the floor!

If you have to

through the window

Remember, this is confidential

yes, sir

Look at you, like a nut case

you're out for being my brother's only son

it's supernatural power

the state council says so

right, you're the glory of the country

greater than computer, ultra-red, etc

our country breeds genius

but you succeed some, fail some

no, I won't

look!

You bastard!

Try it with your police card

aunt - try it

well...

Haven't tried it with documents before

sucker! Now you can't do it

Why don't we pick them up at man kam to?

Maybe they don't want to leak it out

Ask someone to shut the gate

yes, sir

That's her

Miss Cheng shih-nan, nice to see you

we call her sister Cheng

sister Cheng, my name card

let's speak in cantonese

your cantonese is really good

security officers

must know a few dialects

in order to work all over the country

and my mother is cantonese

so we're fellow provincials

she knew Russian, French and Korean

all forgotten now, perhaps

wu wei-kuo, meaning defending the country.

Good name

so young and already a chief? Chief inspector

meet hsiao-sheng, my assistant

this is chen fu-sheng

meaning rejuvenation. A meaningful name

thanks

this is mao...

My nickname is chairman mao

we don't make fun of such things

so, where's the prisoner?

Take him out

- something wrong? - Open it, quick

Is hsiao-sheng crazy?

Don't let anything happen to you

Get the oxygen cylinder, hurry up!

Yes, sir

wake up!

Sister Cheng,

we can board the car now

right, he'll come round sooner or later

Sister - inspector wu

comrade, how are you?

How are you?

How are you?

How are you?

Our ad-hoc command post

special unit branch

prisoner is detained to facilitate investigation

honesty deserves leniency; Resistance harshness

must be harsh in combats

So tall? Will he escape?

Don't worry. We keep some one on him

I've completed my assignment

please sign here

thank you

inspector wu

what?

All hotel rooms are fully booked

why?

Maybe it's the peak season

Get me chen chiang

it includes all 6 million citizens

it also checks identity

with finger-prints

in fact this is a central system

we feed in data of all criminals

want something, just press the button

a 3-day investigation

can be done in half a day now

what do you do with the remaining two and a half?

There's the lie-detecting room. Want a tour?

Come over here

The latest IBM lie-detecting computer

the well-known roundwood ll

why is it so called?

The greatest liar when brought

before this machine

will feel inferior

it detects the corticocelebral

by ultra-sound

if the prisoner lies

hsiao-sheng

this indicator will sound

indicator?

Want to have a try?

Sure

please lie down

what should I say?

Something safe

my father is Cheng Yung-nien

right

my mother is tang hsiu-ching

wrong

my mother isn't my mother?

Right

tang hsiu-ching is my mother

wrong

she's not my natural mother?

Right

this doesn't make sense

hsiao-sheng, stay calm

check the machine

something's wrong

I say, machines are unreliable

man comes first

there're yet some more sections to see

let me show you? This way

- are you all right? - Yes

We know you're not used to noisy hotels

we know you're not used to noisy hotels

will pick you up tomorrow. Bye

Dining table converted into a bed what an idea!

You sleep on this tonight

no, aunt, you do. You're the senior

what's on the dining table?

Pork. How can I lie on it?

Unpack. I'll wash my face

"I'll ask that again when are you coming with me?"

"You always say I have nothing"

dad

what? Are the police great?

Don't you ever knock?

All right. I'm going out

I've always asked, when are you coming with me?

I'll give you what I'm after and my freedom

but you always laugh at me. I have nothing

good

famous brand

a famous school

mit

I thought it means made in Taiwan

using the left hand again?

I am ambidextrous

no principles

dad, clever ones are left-handed

groundless. One eats with the right hand

unreasonable

In english, right is "right"

another explanation is "correct", right?

You're correct

recently you often come back late
