Flash Point (導火線)

Still hiding, Fatso?

l'm busting you no matter what.

Have l ever busted the wrong guy?

I'll leave the answer to the judge.

My duty as a cop...

is to catch thieves.

Before Hong Kong's Handover to China in 1997

Four fives. - Open!

Yeah! Drink! - l gotta win.

Let's guess again. One bottle.

Seven sixes? All of a kind again?

You know how to play or not?

Waiter, show her the instruction book.

Let me introduce my brother. Tiger. Sam.

- Nice to meet you, Sam! - Nice to meet you!

You sweat a lot.

That's my real brother, Archer.

l got lots of inventory.

l have men everywhere but you want it all.

You're going to Vietnam.

The three of us can take care of this.

Who knows better than us?

We were from Vietnam.

Your splitting ratio

is fine by me.

Lost again.

No, No. One more time.

Four ones. One bottle.

Four ones?

- You sure you have them? - l bloody sure do.

Police inspection. Lights on.

Stand over there!

You! Step forward!

l did toss the bottle.

So what?

Excuse me... l'm sorry...

On Jan 2, 1996,

you intentionally injured

a suspect in Mongkok,

fracturing his hipbone

and 3 ribs.

Do you admit?

On Feb 17, 1996,

during an anti-Triad operation on Temple Street,

you injured another suspect intentionally,

causing serious head concussion

and permanent anosmia.

Do you admit?

- ln 1996... - Enough! l admit to it all.

During the first half of this year alone,

you had an average of 14 operations a month

and you hurt an average of 2.8 people each time.

You already broke last year's record in half a year.

What's wrong with cops busting thieves?

lt's my turn to complain.

Are you guys busting thieves or cops?

l know you're an excellent officer, lnspector Ma.

You also have the highest crime detection rate.

But beware of your attitude,

ways and means.

l don't see any problems with them!

OK, you can go.

l've been here

for a full hour.

Could have cracked a case outside already.

You better evaluate

your law enforcement standards.

Don't waste everybody's time.

Good!

Give me 50 grand.

Such a high stake! You'll lose.

Tiger.

That's not the way to play golf.

lt's not kung fu. Stand firm.

I'll teach you, ok?

lt's very simple. Grab the club.

Keep feet and shoulders straight and parallel.

Look far ahead and then at your ball.

Swing hard.

This is just a counter-example.

Next time! Next time!

Something seems wrong, Archer.

Don't say anything.

My friends here are clean.

Go now!

l asked you to transport goods to Vietnam.

But it's always too windy or rainy for you.

2 months already! Planning a trip to the moon?

You trying to mess with me?

No man, but bad weather is quite natural.

l didn't even blame you

for the bad luck.

l have 80M there. Get it back and we're quits.

Should've told me earlier. I'll courier it for you.

lt only takes a couple of days by plane.

Who would've used a boat? Sure it takes weeks.

You better wait quietly at home!

What did you say?

Stay cool or I'll beat you up.

You threatening me? Who you think you are?

You're the boss but you can't call the shot?

You need your henchman. Ask Tony to come out.

Shit!

That's how we run things here.

ls it really necessary to do this in public?

Just putting on sun block!

You trying to get even or what?

Wait for me first.

You always end up arguing.

Latte!

Ask him to cut the crap. He could've busted me.

Why he always had to fight?

Even though l know you're good at it.

You called me for help

and l gave you a hand.

Now things got out of hand

and you're blaming me.

Stop yelling! You naked,

hunky piece of meat!

And you hurt my wrist so badly.

The doctor said there might be complications.

Last time you threw a bottle of wine at me.

l would've blown your cover

if l hadn't reacted.

And you fought back. Remember?

l would've lost face

if l hadn't fought back.

Lost face? You're a cop! Lost face?

You want a loudspeaker, you dumbo?

You're partners. You shouldn't have hit him so hard.

Knowing his temper, you shouldn't have provoked him.

Why made such a mess?

When l'm duped, you said we're partners.

But he can play the model every day.

You two want me to be a snitch till when?

Bygones are bygones.

Who's leading whom anyway?

Not this again! - Not what?

Cops have regulations.

Stop arguing. You might not be partners anymore.

Really?

The verdict is out.

You still lead.

Report to the Police Band next week.

No way! They've gone too far!

As you just said, cops have regulations.

l'm appealing!

Keep it up!

Ditto!

We can't think too much. Just go ahead!

lf we're destined to die, so be it!

What's wrong with you? You got it wrong 4 times!

How so?

The E-flat

after the sextuplet on the 12th bar.

We heard nothing.

Just you yelling.

Be serious! We are cops.

lf you wanna play, form your own band.

You can't expect everyone to be like you.

- You dare to talk back... - You are definitely wrong!

When a cop errs, he either hurts others

or he hurts himself. Do yourjob well.

Mom, l'm busy.

l won't bother you.

l'm going back to my hometown.

I'll go with you when l have time.

l did wait.

l waited till my friend there died.

lf l'm happy there,

l probably won't come back.

Mom, don't!

I'll be bored here all by myself.

You worry about me, yet you have no time for me.

Be careful.

Don't risk your life catching thieves.

What's most important to a man?

Preserving life. Without life, how can you be a man?

Be careful. l gotta go.

We're all trying to make a living here.

You swiped Sam's goods.

He came here to talk but you wanted him dead.

Now you ask us to stay out of the way?

Sam has to go.

You don't wanna get hurt by accident, do you?

lf you back off, nothing will happen.

Without you three, nothing will happen.

You better not mess up my place.

We took you in when you were refugees.

We were stuck in the refugee camp

like prisoners.

Why did we riot?

Because we wanted our own home.

lf anyone wants us to leave today,

they have to fight us.

Brother! - How's the talk?

Didn't work?

No, we're still talking.

Don't move yet, or there's no point talking anymore.

Don't play games, you three.
