"Hello, headquarters?" "Boss." "You killed her, but she hid my ledger." "I thought she might go to the cops." "She wouldn't do that." "All she wanted was blackmail me." "But if the cops got the ledger." "We'd all be finished." "She mailed a registered parcel." "It must have been the ledger." "Kitty?" " Pai." " What's it, boss?"

"She died within the last 3 hours." "The body has no bruises." "She must have died from an overdose of pills." "What kind of pills?" "Sleeping pills." "I found this bottle near the bed." "If she was murdered." "Would this bottle have the murderer's fingerprints?" "It would." "How long have you been in the force?" "About 12 years." "You must have forgotten what they taught you." "You were having fun here." "Leaving your fingerprints all over the place." "We..." "You'd better explain to your supervisor." "I want a report from him." "Yes." "Are you the Commissioner of Police?" "No." "Maybe you are the Commissioner." "No." "Then why were you meddling in the Chief Inspector's affairs?" "What about your own details?" "Coffee, sir." " Put it down." " What would you two like?" "A kick in the ass." "Stick to your own details." "Maybe I should put you back in uniforms." "You idiots." "Sorry sir." "Will 2 sugars do?" "Who did you think you were?" "They gave me hell." "I've lost much face." "They want a report from me." "You tell me how to write it." "What's that?" "The report, you dictated it." "What are you peeping at?" "Nothing." " Get out of my office." " Yes." "Wait." "What are your names?" "Don't you know our names?" "I meant English names." " Mine is John." " Mine is Richard." "I'm naming you John, and you Richard." "Get out."

"I wish they had dance girls here." "This is not a dance hall." "Look at that." "Make your move." "She wouldn't like me." "Come over in 28 seconds." "You're a heartless person." "You thought you were pretty." "So you bullied him around." "That's no way to treat a man." "What are you talking about?" "Look at him." "He tried to kill himself." "Because you were mean to him." "You've got the wrong girl." "Isn't she the prettiest here?" "I didn't see her just now." "I didn't know a girl could be so pretty." "Who's your girl friend then?" "She is." "Are you kidding?" "How could one kill oneself for her?" "I'm not very good with women." "You should be more selective." "I know." "Miss, how are you!" "My name is Beethoven." "He's Chiu." "I'm May." "You must be real buddies." "We went to the Academy together." "What do you do for a living?" "We're..." "He's a scriptwriter, I'm a teacher." "You're both intellectuals." "That's right."

"It's about a man in love." "And the wind inspires him." "How romantic." "I want to read it." "You may not like it, it's too sad." "Look at the Wind?" "Who is talking to me?" "I thought I heard your voice, so remote, so far away." "is it the falling leaves, or is it your voice, that makes me puzzled." "At this moment," "Recite some more." "I have to stop, or I'll be in tears." "This way please." "You haven't done any tricks yet." "But you've cost me $1,000 on drinks." "I'm a pimp, not your husband." "What's that again?" "You said you loved me." "Love comes after money." "I'll find you some tricks." "You'd better be nice to them." "That's how the novel ends?" "Yes." " lt's so sad." " And so romantic." "Look over there." "Why don't you take care of her?" " There's more." " Really?" "I also wrote "Look at the Clouds."" "Tell me the story." "You gave us bad tips." "Please, not now." " Why not?" " l know I owe you." "You led us to find a body." "Nice body?" "I didn't know they killed her." "I'm a cloud in the sky." "May, it's late, you'd better go home." "Tomorrow is a holiday."

"Wait here." "I remember the glamour of our encounter." "Bill Hsu wrote that." "Not Bill Hsu, Bill You." "What?" "Go away please." "Don't you know her price is $500?" "What?" "You'd better apologize." "Wen, come over here." "Chiu, Beethoven." "Tell Beethoven the lady's name." "Sure, Susi." "I've got the wrong person." "You two villains." "You want to hear another poem?"

"That's sick." "Thanks for explaining everything to Anna." "That's what friends are for." "Exactly." "Isn't she gorgeous?" "You can have the honor." "I can be very biased." "It would be a pleasure." "No, let me do it." "Don't mention the word rape." "She may be embarrassed." "We are to take your statement." "You should stop feeling upset." "You've got to live on." "I may still cry but I'm fine."

"We played around all the time." "Our noises often woke my father up." " What's wrong?" " Too much for me." "Are you all right?" "He does that sometimes." "What were you doing when it started?" "I guess I was sleeping." "Did you wake up?" "No, I slept till dawn." "Then I found out." "You didn't wake up, how did you find out?" "My classmate told me." "Do you live with her too?" "Yes, I live in the dormitory." "That's really incredible." "What do you mean?" "Nothing, maybe I'm too conservative." " Too much for you?" " Yes." "Didn't your classmate try to help you?" "Yes, she was handing me napkins?" "What?" "I was crying." "Do you know where she is now?" "In the morgue." "She works there?" "She's dead, don't you know that?" "She deserved it." "How could you say that?" "She's such a sick maniac." "Don't you badmouth her." "Calm down, this is a free world." "She shouldn't have filed a complaint though." "She could marry her." "What are you talking about?" "I'm not sure I know." "Me too." "Morning sir." "What are you two doing here?" "Taking her statement." "What statement?" "This lady was raped by her stepmother." "What?" "I knew you two were inefficient." "I didn't know you were so dumb." "Go out and look at the door tag." "Yes, sir." "We were to the wrong room." " No wonder he gave us hell." " Come back." "Yes sir." "Report this to your supervisor." "I want a report from him." " Yes sir." " Go." "Sorry, Miss." "We'll arrest your stepmother." "Where does she usually hang out?" "The Mahjong parlours." "Does she have a nickname?" "Butch." "No wonder, just sign here." "You'd better wear a hat." "Thanks." "What took you so long?" "Chen wants you to handle this." "This?" " l'm not in the mood." " Me too." "You're never in the mood." " Morning." " Woke up late?" "Yes, I've got no one to wake me up." "That is a problem." "It won't last for long." "Poor me, I've got nobody." "I'll find you a girl." "I know just the right girl." "Forgive me, Miss, I thought you were raped." "But you do look like a rape victim." "You're so pretty." "That's what those lines would bring you." "What should I say then?" "You should... I'm sorry about what happened." "Don't worry about it." "Beethoven does worry about it." "He would feel guilty for the rest of his life." "Really?" "He once forgot to pay a debt of $5." "He almost committed suicide." "That's stretching it too far." "You should let him buy you lunch." "Then he would feel you had got even." "Yes, let me buy you lunch." " All right." " Thank you." "It's pretty here." "A lot of lovers come here." "She's got a date, and he's rich." "You'll be disappointed." "Money has nothing to do with love." "What are you talking about?" "I envy those rich playboys." "They change girlfriends all the time." "Mr. Chou is not a playboy, he's a career man." "Maybe all he does is sign cheques." "And fools around with his secretary." "Lulu said he used to be very poor." "But he worked hard to have his own company." "Then he must be quite an old man." "No, he's in his late twenties." "How many of you?" " Four." " This way please." "I don't think you stand a chance." "You have to attend Lulu's funeral." "Have you got a place to stay?" "I'll stay at Mr. Chou's place." "I didn't say a word." "You'd better be careful." "I have to go to the restroom." "You want me to come with you?" "What?" "Forget it." "Don't laugh, do something." "The odds are all against you." "You'd better pray for a miracle." " Kitty." " Mr. Chou." "You're much prettier than your cousin." "Lulu..." "Let bygones by bygones, be tough." "I'll take care of you." "Thanks." "Did Lulu mail you a ledger?" "She sure did." "It's mine, I told her to mail it to you." "I see." "Where is it now?" "I left it in the car." "Let's have lunch first." "I think you should forget it." "The competition is too strong." "I think you're right." "I'm used to losing anyway." "At least you accept failures gracefully." "I have to." "Wait a minute." "You can stay with me." "Let's sit here." "I've got two friends over there." "Why don't you join us?" "This is Beethoven, and this is Chiu." "This is Mr. Chou." " Hello." " l heard you're a big man." "Not at all." "Please sit down." "So Kitty will be staying with you?" " Who said that?" " lsn't it?" "You called me to come stay with you." "I don't think so." "You must be a hospitable man." "It'd be good for Kitty to stay with you." "Kitty can't stay with me." "You changed your mind?" "You'd better make up your mind." "Why can't Kitty stay with you?" "Tell her." "I..." "Well?" "Tell her." "I'm a pimp, I run a whorehouse." "That's why she can't stay with me." "I didn't know he was a pimp." "Fortunately you ran into Beethoven." "Where can I stay?" "Are you ready to order?" "We're waiting for someone." "Aren't you warm?" "No." "It's really noisy here." "I'll tell them to quiet down." "Don't bother, we don't know them." "I don't want any trouble." "We don't have to confront them ourselves." "Miss, please tell the people next door." "To lower their voices." "We can't do that to our customers." "Show this to them." "Tell them that I'm entertaining my friends." "I'd much appreciate it." "If they lowered their voices." "That's not nice." "Don't worry." "Hong Kong people are so rude." "They need to be warned." "I don't usually abuse my authority." "But sometimes I have to." "Were they rude?" "No, but they took your l.D. And..." "And what?" "They want you over there." "Don't try to calm me down." "We're not trying." "I'm so mad." "What made you so mad?" "Don't look back." "It's you guys, we'll see you later." "Don't be so anti-social." " Am I right?" " That's right." "We're colleagues." "Nice to meet your pretty girlfriend." " This is..." " Let me." "This is 24, 28." "And 35." "Don't you know our names?" "I know your numbers better." "What's your number?" "This is Kitty." "I'm Pumpkin Head." " l'm Nicotine." " l'm Columbo." " Beethoven gave us those names." " Right." "Nice to meet you." "Leave us alone." "Go back over there." "Why are you doing this to us?" "You despise us or something?" "Beethoven doesn't usually despise anyone." "Not even hookers." "Why don't you guys join us?" "Sit down." "Sit down." "Kitty, you're a lucky lady." "Beethoven may be short on looks." "But he's a sweet man." "He lends me money all the time." "Beethoven, I'd like..." "Not enough." "How much do you want?" "Interest?" "Would these be counterfeits?" "You guys are funny." "Beethoven is a playboy." "One of our girls went out with him." "She said he's smooth dealer." "Beethoven is a lady-killer." "And why not?" "Beethoven is flushing." "Order whatever you like." "Let's order some food." "I told you he's a sweet man." "Come." "Thanks." "Oh my God." "What's wrong?" "What's the big deal?" " An old girlfriend?" " She..." "That's no big deal." "What a coincidence." "Hong Kong is a small place." "What's your number?" "911" "You have 1,000 girls at your club?" "More than that." "Where do you work?" "Downtown." "No wonder." "Look at her." "She looks quite good at her age." "With that many years behind you." "You must be rich by now." "When did you start tricking?" "15" "You must be rich too." "No, I spent it on men." "Come on." "These men?" "Sure, they're not bad." "They've also got guns." "Are you guys on duty?" "So what?" "They always come to our club." "And take us out to dinner." "What's wrong with you?" "They look like missing girls to me." "You should know what to do." "We'll take them to the station." "Go right ahead." "I'll come later for your report." "Yes, madam." "Come on." "What have we done?" "What's the charge?" "Big mouthing." "Bye." "Don't forget the report." "This is Kitty." " This is..." " Anna." "Sit down." "Anna." "I can't live without you." "Please." "I ate too much." "Should I come with you?" "No, look after Beethoven." "Make sure he behaves." " Good night." " Good night." "Go to bed." "Right." "Good night." "Aren't you sleeping inside?" "I'm not a sex maniac." "She seems to like you a lot." "Every woman likes me." "She doesn't know how I feel though." "Why don't you tell her?" "How?" "Should I knock on the door?" "And tell her, "l love you"?" "I'm too arrogant for that." "It's not my style." "She may tell you to beat it anyway." "Pretend you're dreaming." "What?" "Then you can say anything." "And if she didn't like it." "You could pretend you didn't know." "That's a hell of an idea." "But that's cheating." "You can't fool me." "I bet you'd use this trick." "I've fallen in love with you." "Maybe it's love at first sight." "But I wouldn't dare telling you." "I would only tell the stars." "I wish you were the stars." "And you would know I love you." "Tell me I should talk to you." "I love you, that's not a sin." "is he like this all the time?" "Yes, he's too shy in the daytime." "He pours his heart out at night." "Don't leave me." "Poor kid." "Do you like him?" "Tell him no matter what happens." "We'll still be good friends." "What are my chances?" "Very little." "What should I do?" "Go to sleep." "I can't." "Should I help you?" "Please." "You asked for it." "I don't know where it is." "Lulu wanted me to betray you." "I refused." "Should I believe him?" "You don't know?" "He passed out." "Then he can't talk," " throw him in there." " Yes." "Please don't, I'm still conscious." " Throw him down anyway." " Yes." "I don't have the ledger." "Lulu has a cousin in Macau." "Where is she?" "Staying with the two cops." " Hello." " This is Wen." "What's up?" " Come to Villa Restaurant now." " All right..." "Wen wants to tip us off." "Go to see him yourself." "Go." "See you then." "Only Chiu came down." "Beethoven is still up there." "Bring him up there." "He must have forgotten something." "Beethoven." "Didn't you just call Chiu?" " l did." " Then..." "What do you want?" "Where's the ledger?" " What ledger?" " Over there." "It's in the bedroom." "Bring him in and find it." "Lead the way." "Go." "What ledger?" "The one that would put Sha in jail." "You hit me, and hard." "It hurts." "It feels funny." "I don't mind you hit me." "But you can't touch my hair." "That's enough." "What a teaser." "Where's the ledger?" "In the closet." "Freeze, or I'll shoot." "Bill." "Hold it, drop your weapons." "Drop your weapons." "Don't worry, I've nailed them." "I've nailed your boss." "Give me the ledger." "I threw it into the garbage truck." "You threw the ledger into the garbage truck?" "Do you know what that means?" "You threw away our chance of getting a promotion." "The ledger would put Sha in jail." "How could you do such a thing?" "I was almost killed by these guys." "Where are they?" "Have you finished?" "What ledger is that?" "It's incriminating evidence against Sha." "Go chase them." "I'll be back soon." "Be careful." "I'm up here, stop the car." "Beethoven." "I'm here." "Get up here." "You knocked me down." "Come on." "You should have looked out for me." "Come on, you're not a child." " Pull over." " What now?" "I lost my gun." "Forget it, I've still got mine." "Get in." "Don't get nervous, take it slowly." "Move it away." "Take it slowly." "I only took a nap." "And you've gone off the road." "Nail them." "There it is." "Which one do we want?" "I'll get the one in front." "I can't catch up with that truck." "I've got an idea." "My feet!" "My feet are killing me." "Damn it." "I'm a cop." "Please catch up with that truck?" "Not this one." "Where did the other garbage truck go?" "What are you doing?" "I'm doing a dangerous stunt." "I'm a cop, tell me." "It went back to headquarters." "I'm a cop, you've got a bomb in your car." "A bomb!" "Freeze." "Freeze or I'll shoot." "One more move and I'll shoot you." "You don't have any bullets." " Let's try it." " Yes." "Hurry." "The ledger's in this truck." "Are you all right?" "Yes." "Don't let him get away with the ledger." "Give me the ledger." "Didn't you say you'd got it?" "I was trying to con them." "Then it's still in this truck." "This truck is empty." " Burn the garbage." " Yes." "Turn the water on." " Beethoven, you're great." " Thank you." "An accident." "I wonder what happened." "Must be cops and robbers." "What's up?" "Sha's trying to burn his ledger." "Which contains incriminating evidence against him." " Salvage the ledger." " Yes sir." " Go look for the ledger." " Hurry." "They don't know what it looks like." "But I do, let me look for it." "Don't bother." "I'm taking over this case." "We've got nothing." "We found it." " Bring them all to the station." " Yes sir." "Sir." "Why did you call him?" "I was calling Chen, he answered the phone." "I couldn't help it." "Now he'll get a promotion." "And we've got nothing." "Don't worry, our day will come." "They beat me up." "You don't get beat up everyday." "What?" "No..."
