The Ultimate Addiction (Dim Gum Sing Show / 點金勝手)

This contains incriminating evidence

against Chai Pui-fun.

I want to know how upright and righteous you are.

You've seen the news.

You should know Secretary Siu Kwok-sum

was in charge of the approval of the redevelopment in Mid-levels West.

The syndicate that won the tender was Chai Pui-fun's family.

During the time of the tender,

she withdrew $20 million from her account.

Then there was an extra $20 million in Siu Kwok-sum's account.

Could there be such a coincidence?

Hello.

Have you read all the information yet?

What do you want?

I want to see if a righteous cop like you will report a criminal act.

The police have their own procedures. You don't need to tell me what to do.

Of course. Hey, if you think there isn't sufficient evidence,

I'm glad to assist you in finding more evidence.

You've provided evidence. I need time to verify it.

Fine. One week. I hope you won't let me down

and make me go to the ICAC to file a report myself. Bye.

You're home?

Yes. I'm totally worn out.

Sit down and take a break, OK?

There's been so much work to do lately.

I have to attend the promotion board soon too.

I hope I can finish the jobs on hand soon so that I can do my revision.

Come on. Have some water.

Thank you...Yung, I want you to follow a report for me. It's an easy job.

Well...

Are you busy?

Grandma's not well.

I want to take a couple of days off to go visit her. I'm afraid I can’t help you.

Is she OK?

She's getting old after all.

You go visit her then. I'll do it myself.

OK.

I'm sorry to trouble you again, Peter.

You're welcome, buddy. Buy me a drink next time, OK?

No problem.

This is what you want.

Thank you.

Look at the record.

You wanted to check Chai Pui-fun and Siu Kwok-sum.

They did go to Macau on May 12, 2011. They went there around the same time.

Then Chai Pui-fun came back to Hong Kong first.

Siu Kwok-sum left a little later. What's the case you're working on?

One is the chairlady of SMAC and the other is an under-secretary in the government.

Is something dirty going on between them?

I just want to clarify something.

I can't tell you what it's about for the time being.

I understand. I'll read about it in the newspaper later then, OK?

But you must buy me a drink next time.

Thank you very much.

No problem. I need to go. OK. See you later.

Bye.

Florence? What is it?

I want to thank you for providing information last time.

We found out that the company did provide false information.

I've turned down their application for public listing.

They can’t use the shale gas bubble to cheat people anymore.

There are a lot of cheats in finance.

That's true. So I can't deal with them by myself.

Thank God you're here. I'm not fighting the battle on my own.

What contribution can I make? I'm just a humble sergeant.

You're capable. You're SMAC's chairlady now.

It must be hard to get to such a position.

Lots of people don't have a bottom line for what they'll do.

They'll do anything to achieve their ends.

If you don't go with the flow, you'll be alienated or even edged out.

It really isn't easy to swim against the tide.

Have you ever gone with the tide or do something that you shouldn't?

You've known me for years. You're seriously asking me this question?

Of course I haven't done anything against my conscience.

I believe you have your convictions. But in your position,

of course lots of people would want to flatter you or cozy up to you.

How do you resist the temptation?

What are you driving at?

I mean what you believe in is against the values of most people.

Don't you find it hard?

It's tough. But to ensure that the market is fair and just,

I think it's worth my while.

Your questions today are really funny. What do you want to know?

No, maybe this is a professional habit.

You're treating me like an offender?

No.

Let's go.

Macau.

I found the waitress who used to serve Siu Kwok-sum.

Pui, come over here.

OK...Brother Pang, you want to see me about something?

Pui, Brother Yung needs your help.

Do you remember these two people in the photo?

I remember Mr Siu. He's a frequent patron here.

But the woman...Oh, I remember.

Mr Siu and that woman met here a couple of years ago.

Mr Siu would play several games whenever he came here.

But that time, he didn't.

He looked at his watch from time to time as though he was waiting for someone.

Mr Siu, here's the mineral water you ordered.

What happened then?

Shortly after that, this woman showed up. She and Mr Siu stepped aside.

She gave Mr Siu a brown envelope. She looked serious.

But I didn't hear what they said.

This happened so long ago. How come you still remember?

After the woman left, Mr Siu played a few games.

I went over to ask him if he wanted order another drink.

He said no. Then he gave me a thousand dollar chip.

He was seldom so generous before. Sol remember that occasion in particular.

He hasn't come again since that day.

Thank you very much.

Get back to work, Pui.

The casino keeps a record of large exchanges.

On November 5th, Chai Pui-fun exchanged

HK$20 million for chips.

The record's here.

How about Siu Kwok-sum?

Half an hour later, he cashed in HK$20 million worth of chips.

Sheung-yee? You're staying so late too?

You took a couple of days off. I already found that odd.

I found this in the printer at home. Are you investigating Chai Pui-fun?

Sorry. I should have told you earlier.

It seems Chai Pui-fun did bribe Under-secretary Siu Kwok-sum.

Cheuk Yuk provided me with the intel.

He wants me to report her to the ICAC or else he'll do it.

The deadline is tomorrow.

Take a look at this. So they knew each other in college.

I spoke with a witness.

She confirmed that they had a secret transaction before.

Since there's preliminary evidence, why don't you pass the intel to the ICAC?

I'm worried I might be making a mistake.

Cheuk Yuk gave me the intel. Obviously he's up to no good.

He wants to use me to attack Chai Pui-fun.

And attack you at the same time.

That's right. Sol must handle this very carefully.

This may have serious consequences for Chai Pui-fun.

Yung, do you remember what you told me when I joined the force?

Never forget who you are. We're police officers.

We must remember our status at all times.

Our duty is to investigate oases and enforce the law.

We must remain objective and impartial in all respects.

Do you remember that?

I believe I don't need to tell you what to do.

I'm sure you'll make the right decision.

Have you found any evidence to prove the innocence of your ex?

If you had found it, you would have thrown away this envelope a long time ago.

This proves that Chai Pui-fun did do something dirty.

The allegation is established.

But we still need more witnesses and evidence to find out the truth.

I still believe in Florence. She's not like you.

What kind of person am I?

Oh, I'm a shameless merchant. You're a righteous cop.

If you're so righteous, hurry and mail the documents to the ICAC then.

Why are you still hesitating?

But if you want to protect her, burn the documents. I don't mind.

Don't think you can challenge me.

I never doubt my principles and stand. I will do what I should do.

Good morning...Why are you being so cool? We had such a good time last night.

You weren't this talkative last night.

Don't work so hard.

Do you know the virtual currency C-Coin?

C-Coin? Never heard of it. I only know what C-cup is.

OK...There's some jewelery in the box. Pick something for yourself.

Thank you, Damon.

Biu: Just got back to Hong Kong. Need to report.

You really can't find the person who created C-Coin?

I'm sorry. I really couldn't find him.

I only found out that

the developer of C-Coin is a Japanese guy called Kato Akira.

He worked out a very complicated computer program

to allow some professionals to do the mining.

Some people say he left the States two months ago. Some say he's dead.

The C-Coin program is really complicated. Could there be more than one developer?

I really don't know.

Also, there will only be 21 million C-Coins before 2140.

To get them, one needs to use a super computer to do the mining.

It looks very secure. But I think the developer might leave a backdoor.

Since we can’t find the creator,

we have no certainty we can control C-Coin. Will we still go ahead?

We can’t find the developer.

That means other people can’t find him either.

So you want to carry on? This is so crazy.

But so funny.

Mrs Cheuk, you told me

to pay attention to everything concerning Mr Cheuk.

So as soon as I saw these photos from my fellow reporters,

I called to tell you about them.

Buy all the photos for me. I don't want them to be circulated.

I'll reimburse you.

OK.

Come in.

Mrs Cheuk...

I heard that after Mr Cheuk went to the premiere last night,

he went to the villa with the movie's lead actress.

OK. Oh, a client gave me a designer handbag a couple days ago.

Take it if you like it.

Thank you, Mrs Cheuk.

Don't worry. I won't tell anyone what Mr Cheuk did.

There's one other thing.

Mr Cheuk keeps flirting with Chi Nga lately.
