[English subtitles are available] [The story takes place in the Golden Triangle on the southwestern border of China.] Tea for you? Fancy some dried pineapple? Tiger balm from Vietnam, it's good stuff. How much is it? 200. Could it be cheaper? It's already very cheap. It's too expensive. I don't want it. Do you need a massage? Do you need a massage? Hello. Hold on. I have money. 110? There's a drug deal on the second floor of New South Street. This is what your boss wants. Handsome, do you need a massage? Let me tell you. I'm doing this because your friendship with our boss. Do you understand? I understand, brother. Thank you. Thank you. You... How dare you cause trouble here? Do you know where this is? I don't want to cause any trouble. Even Grim Reaper Bu didn't dare to be so arrogant. Who do you think you are? I've called the police. You better get out of the way. I went to great lengths to get it. What are you waiting for? Get him! They set us up. You set us up. You're doubting me? Mr. Chacai, the most important thing now is to escape. If we don't run now, none of us can escape. Police! Freeze! Freeze! [Police] Come here. Stay still! What's going on? Captain Yu, the money and the goods are here. Where is the ledger? [Tomahawk Action 2 Bloodthirsty] [Hexi County Prison, Xinnan Province] Don't think you can erase what you did just because you did five years in prison. Let me tell you. I will never forget what happened to my teacher. You'd better abide by the law. Otherwise, I will send you back myself. [Five years ago] Kill him! Brother. We are brothers. You wouldn't have come this far without me. You can't kill me. I'll give you all the money. It's just a woman. I'll give you all my women. Have you ever thought of us as brothers? You must die today. If you hadn't stopped me from doing drugs, we would have been so different. Your stubornness is what got her killed. Bu! Stop! If you do this now, your life will be ruined. Give me the knife. Calm down. Let him be punished by the law. Good boy, give me the knife. Give me the knife. It's okay. Uncle Min. Uncle Min. It's getting cold. Promise me you won't kill him. Fine. Bu, I want this. From now on, our house will be full of pink Hello Kittys. [Tingting's Bu] [Tingting's Bu] Bu. You're back. Bu, if you're back, it's time for me to go. Tingting. [Security guards wanted] [Hiring security guards for Hexi Village. Hiring reservoir cemetery patrolmen, room and board provided] I saw your recruitment advertisement. This is my personal information. Okay, sir. Go back and wait for us to inform you. Thank you. I finally found you, loach. When will you pay me back? Ping, I have no money now. What? Say it louder. When will you pay me back? In two days. I'll pay you back in two days. You told me two days the last time. Do I look stupid to you? Boss, you do kinda stupid. Brother, show him some mercy. Who the hell are you? Boss. It's only right to pay your debt. What are you gonna do? I can't do anything, but the police can. -Forget it.
-Okay. -Forget it.
-You're good. Two days. If you don't pay it back, you'll be in a wheelchair. -Boss, let's go.
-Run! Are you okay? Wen Jia. You've got the wrong guy. You've got the wrong guy. Hello, the number you have dialed is not assigned. Please check and dial again. Sorry, the number you dialed is no longer in service. Hello, the number you have dialed is not assigned. Please check and dial again. [Hua Zi] Hello? Hua Zi. Who is it? It's me. Brother. Why didn't you call me, your brother, when you came out? Your food's all here. Okay. We would've welcomed you, brother. Are our brothers alright? Actually, we haven't talked much since that happened to you. They may not be suited to the life that had in the past. I run a small repair shop. I make enough for myself. But I know, Li Ji, Li Ji is doing the best out of all of us. But he doesn't seem to be doing any legitimate businesses. He is also one of the richest men in our city. He runs many border trade companies, KTVs, nightclubs, bathing centers. People like me are out of our league. So, we don't keep in touch anymore. Oh, and Wen Jia. After what happened to you, I heard he went to Thailand. Later, we lost contact too. I think I saw Wen Jia today. Why didn't you invite him over then? We could get together. He has changed completely. Maybe I got the wrong guy. Can you find someone to help me find him? No problem. I have a cousin. He has many contacts and is very well-informed. I'm sure he can help. Okay. Here. Here. Boss, the bill please. Coming. Twenty. Thank you. Brother, I told you I opened a small repair shop. Recently, I've been having manpower issues. Brother, I remember you knew engines very well. Are you busy recently? Can you help me? You know, I'm just too busy usually. I'm seldom in the shop. The guys working there always slack off. I'll rest easier if you're there. Am I right? Don't worry about the pay. 2000 yuan. I'll provide you with food and accommodation. Brother, if you think 2000 yuan is too little, 2500 yuan is possible too. Hua Zi, you don't even make 2500 yuan a month, right? Brother, well... I'm not good at talking. I... I just want to thank you, brother. Back then, if you didn't stop me, I might have been exposed to that too. How would I have the stable life that I do now? As long as you need someone, I'll go to work. Okay. Pay me 800 yuan. Well... Thank you. Okay. I... I'll pick up tomorrow morning. Okay. Cheers. This is inhumane. Stop complaining. He'll do all the dirty work in the future. He deserves it. I heard that he was not a good man. He was in jail. It's perfect, he can repent here. Keep your voice down. Don't let him hear you. Do you know the relationship between boss and him? What are you afraid of? He got a higher salary than us as soon as he came. What's wrong with asking him to do some work? If he dares to say anything, I'll break his leg. Stop talking big. -Hao.
-Hao You're here. Hao, is everything fine? Not at all. Here, have a smoke. Wash it better today. If you make a mess of it like last time, I'll wash you up. -Sure.
-Don't worry. It'll be whiter than the butt of Ye Zhisong's girl. Cut the crap and get down to business. Hurry up, Hao is in a hurry. -Okay.
-Okay. He's using his position to bully us. Bu. Come out and wash the car. Stop playing dead. Wipe it properly. Look at him. This wimp. I'll teach him a lesson. Bu! Are you okay? I didn't mean it. Is it clean? -Yes.
-Yes. -Okay. Bye.
-Don't worry. What are you trying to do? Nothing. Take it away. Brother. Move! Who did this? -He did it. He did it.
-It wasn't me. Get him. Did you do it? No, no, no. Help! Who are you? Sorry, I did it. Why don't you forgive them? Forgive you? Boss. I'm sorry, let's go. Well... Hurry up. How do I compensate you for this? No need. Hey. -Do you want to give me an address?
-Bye. I'm sorry. There's no need. Really? Bye then. Give me your number. Teacher, I hope your judgement is right. Let's go back to the police station. Okay. Hao, what's wrong with you today? Why did you get scared of a car mechanic? I'll get more people tonight. I must cripple him. Do you know who he is? You want to cripple him? Isn't he just a car mechanic? Is he the King of the Underworld? The King of the Underworld? Even if he's not, he's very close. Grim Reaper Bu. Have you heard of him? No. It's because you're young. When he was a gangster, you were still suckling. He's that powerful? What should we do now then? Go back and inform boss. Boss. What's the hurry to see me? Boss. We've been working together for so long. I didn't expect that you like having this during dinner. I'm a man who values integrity the most. Boss. Boss! Get him to eat the plate too. Boss, I was wrong. Please let me go. I'll pay for the goods. Boss. If I let it go after you pay me back, what if others learn from you? Boss, I was wrong. Boss. This man didn't have integrity. He took my goods. Boss. For trivial things like this, you should leave it to your subordinates. Why bother doing it personally? I settle my business on my own. There will be a batch of goods at your venue tomorrow night. Nothing can go wrong Boss. Don't worry. Since Gui Qi went in, our business has been booming. We're making more and more money. When has anything ever happened to us? Boss. The Grim Reaper Bu has been released. The Grim Reaper Bu has been released. I'm not deaf! This is your personal matter. I shouldn't say much to you. But we are on the same boat. So... Thanks to the preliminary efforts made by Narcotics Control Brigade, we have basically figured out Lei Gong and Li Ji's [Lei Tianming, Li Ji] cross-border drug trafficking network. The tip-off we received said tonight One-eyed Man and the Thai drug traffickers will conduct drug trade on the west balcony on third floor of Vietnam Street. They may carry weapons with them. A ledger will be taken there when the trade is conducted. The ledger is a crucial evidence for us to destroy the entire drug trafficking network. There are many exits in Vietnam Street. It has a complicated architectural structure. Only when their trade is done can we start to capture them. Without my order, no one can take action. Otherwise, they will notice us. Got it? Yes. Okay. Director Wang, do you have anything to add? This task will be carried out at a market. The people we are dealing with are cunning. It's difficult to capture them. So, we must ensure our people's safety and our own safety. Got it? Yes. Get ready separately. [China-Vietnam Sunshine Border Trade Mall] Boss, I've found him. Wen Jia often goes to New South Town to buy drugs. Sir, take a look at our dried pineapples. Have a look! Sir, take a look at our Vietnamese Tiger balm. How much is it? Have a look at our bracelets. It's 200. That's too expensive. It's quite cheap. No, thanks. All groups, be alert. Got it. Got it. Got it. Got it. Sparrow. Pong. Captain Yu, the Rabbit is back to the hole. All groups, be alert. Report to me if anything unusual happens. Captain Yu. Something happened on the second floor. What is it? Someone met the Hedgehog. They went into a room together. Don't do anything about it. Ding Ning, keep a close eye on the second floor. Others, keep a close eye on the third floor. Got it. Got it. The money and goods are there. The trade will be done soon. Attention, all groups. Await my instructions. Got it. Got it. This is what your boss wants. Would you like a massage, dear? Would you like a massage? Captain Yu. Another guy went to the second floor. Do nothing about it. You really dare to come to the hell. In order to get him, I paid a huge price. Take him! Warning, fire! Please check immediately. What's going on? Why is the alarm ringing? I have no idea. This is your trap? You suspect me? Captain Yu, the Rabbit is about to escape. Move! Police! Drop your weapon and stop resisting. -Don't move.
-Don't move. Don't move. Stay still. Go! Hurry! What's going on? Captain Yu, the money and goods are here. Where is the ledger? You're so bad. Hello? Hello? I remember you said we wouldn't have any problems when conducting trade on your turf. Lei Gong. What happened? The information of our trade was leaked. Our goods have fallen into the hands of the police. After I find out who did it, I'll make him suffer the greatest torture. I got it. Come to me. Do you still remember our promise? Look at you. You're like a lunatic now. I can't control myself. I can't get rid of it. You bastard! What on earth happened? I'm asking you! The informant leaked the information to the police. At that time, Wen came. He begged me to give him the goods. He looked so painful. I felt sorry for him. So I... I told you there would be trade being conducted on the third floor and you shouldn't sell goods to others too often. Boss, I did it because you and he... And then? Then came a guy who Wen was very afraid of. A guy he was very afraid of? You mean Bu, right? What are you doing? He couldn't even shadow a guy. Don't you think he should die? He's my man. I decide whether he should live or die. You have no right to tell me what to do. If you don't give me a reasonable explanation for this, I will come to see you again. I don't trust him. Keep an eye on him. Our operation yesterday is generally successful. No officers or other people died or got injured. We also seized a batch of drugs and some of their money. But during the interrogation, we found that the ledger is missing. That ledger is a very important evidence to us. Right now, the priority of the team's work is to find the ledger. By the way, pay attention to this guy. Zoom in. His name is Bu. Next, Captain Yu will assign tasks to you. Yu. Yu. Yu. Yes. Did you hear what I said? Yes. Assign tasks to them. Okay. Director Wang. Wanqing. In the meeting this morning, what were you thinking? Do you remember the person my teacher helped? Yes. He Ziwei. Bu appeared on the scene last night. I am thinking if the case has something to do with him. But he has been behaving himself since he was released from prison. He barely contacted his bros. But why was he on the scene? Besides, our operation last night was disrupted by the alarm. I think to find out who made the alarm ring is crucial to solve this case. The most important thing now is to find the ledger as soon as possible. I don't understand why my teacher was so nice to Bu. If he really broke the law, we can arrest him. Do you remember what our former chief always said? If the police are to save a person, they are not only to save his or her life. More importantly, they are to save his or her soul. Maybe you don't understand it now. But you will understand it in the future. Have you really made up your mind? Yes. You know I'm weak-willed. But I don't want to live a life like this anymore. I'll stay there for one year. After getting out of there, I'll get married and live a peaceful life. It's good for me. Good. You should do that. But days in the rehabilitation center won't be easy. Bu. Let me do it. Bu. After drinking this, we'll say goodbye. I'm leaving tomorrow. Okay. Take care of yourself. Let's drink. Li Ji. Li Ji. Bu. Bu. I'm glad that you're back. You're still in good health. Have a seat. Bu, you've lost some weight. We three are finally reunited. Come on. Let's have a drink. Bu. Let me do it. -Cheers.
-Cheers. Cheers. Bu. I'm here today to ask you to leave as soon as possible. You can go anywhere. Just don't come back. What do you mean? Trust me. I'm doing this for your good. Leave early tomorrow morning. Trust you? This is what I got after trusting you. I'm not here to argue with you about it today. Wen Jia, I know you hate me. But at this critical moment, nothing else matters. You two must leave tomorrow because someone wants to hurt you. Bu. Here is 500,000 yuan. It's enough to cover your expenses for a while. Li Ji. Are you the guy who wants to hurt us? Take back your dirty money. You think I'm the one who wants to hurt you? Take back my dirty money? Fine. Hadn't I made money by conducting the drug trade to support you, you would have died in the street of Thailand. You end up like this. It's all your fault. No one else wants to take your life. It's you yourself. It was your insatiable desire that ruined you. Do you understand? Enough. Enough. Li Ji. Stop pretending. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't get what you have now. You know what you've done. If it weren't for you, Bu and I wouldn't have ended up like this. It's all because of you. How dare you still call us brothers? You have no right to do that. I remember I told you, no matter how small the city was, I would be the king there. Is it wrong for us young people to pursue dreams? Everyone is destined to be lonely on the journey of life. But I won't allow anyone to get in my way. I remember once when we were playing croquet, I told you not to play the sport that only old men play. Try something fancy. At that time, I was full of hope. I said we would be rich. We would be the richest men in the world. You two lifted me up and walked in circles. The three of us were like happy old men. But now, that will never happen again. Li Ji. Are you really a drug dealer? Boss. Boss. We're leaving now? Aren't we here to kill them? How do you explain this to the Lei Gong? Do I have to tell him first before I do anything? Sorry, boss. Watch them closely. Report to me immediately, if anything unusual happens. Yes. Li Ji didn't do it. Captain Yu, Qi said that Li Ji and his men left the city. They might take action. By the way, the guy who made the fire alarm ring has been found. They said they would fax it to you. Okay. I should leave now. Have a good rest. OK. [He Ziwei, nicknamed Bu] It's so late. Where are you going, beauty? What do you think? Send our men to their place. Before they leave, ensure their safety. Tell me. How much money do you want? I don't want money. I'm afraid you can't take it. Boss. A car is ahead in our way. Who are you? Who asked you to come? Li Ji. Answer the phone. Wen Jia. Wen Jia. Bu. It hurts. I'll take you to the hospital right now. It's too late. Bu, there's something I have to tell you. Tell me when you are fine. The day Tingting died... Tingting. What are you doing? Tingting! Come down. Come down, please. I don't want to live anymore. I know you did the thing Bu hates the most. But everyone makes mistakes. You need to forgive others and forgive yourself. If you have anything to say, tell Bu when he's back. No, no, no. Wait. Tingting. It's my fault. It's my fault. It's my fault. I'm a bastard. It's my fault. I'm sorry, Tingting. It's my fault. What happened today is really an accident. I didn't mean it. Please forgive me. Please forgive me. I'll do anything if you come down. Tingting! Tingting! How dare you say it is an accident? I'll make you feel guilty for the rest of your life. Tingting! What did you do to her? Why did you say sorry? Bro. Please find a way to save me. Please save me. You can make Guiqi the scapegoat. It's him. It's him. Tingting died because of him. Tingting died because of him. Help me, bro. If you don't help me, Bu will kill me when he finds out. I could do nothing but help him fool you. After your accident, I went to Thailand. I met Li Ji again there. To control me, he got me addicted to drugs. Bu, I'm sorry. No. Wen Jia. Bu. Don't be impulsive. It hurts. Stop! Hello, Director Wang. Stop. Lei Gong. Is this fun? I'm a businessman. I have principles and follow rules. I gave you a chance when that thing happened on your turf. But you didn't seize it. Today, let's settle the score between us. I think we're even now. You think so? About what's happening between us, no matter how you calculate it, you don't have enough bargaining chips. Lei Gong, you've been looking for a ledger recently, right? I have a surprise for you. I have the ledger. Is this chip enough? Then, this opens up new possibilities. Come on. Name your price. I want you to die. Don't be afraid. I'm just kidding. I want all your business in New South Town. Also, let's write off our old grudges. Boss. Things went wrong with Sis Hong. Bu is coming this way. In that case, once again, your chip is not enough. Li Ji! Why did you do that? Li Ji. What happened? Li Ji! Lei Gong. The ledger. I remember I told you no matter how small the city is, I want to be the king of the city. Is it wrong for young people to pursue our dreams? Everyone is destined to be lonely on the journey of life. Li Ji. Li Ji! -Freeze! Drop the gun!
-Freeze! Drop the gun! Stop! Command Center. Command Center. Breaking news. Three major criminal cases happened in our county tonight. The victims are one young man and two middle-aged men. Sir, some barbecue? -One of them was shot in the chest and died.
-No. The police have arrested a suspect. -The other suspect is on the run.
-Sir, some barbecue? -The fugitive is He Ziwei, nickname Bu.
-Freshly roasted. Have some. Male, 29 years old, 185 cm in height. If you have any information about the suspect, please call 110 right away. The suspect may carry dangerous items. If you find any trace of the suspect, please contact the police immediately. Get everyone to find him. I want to know his every move. Yes. If the ledger we lost were handed over to the police by Li Ji's men... I know Li Ji well. He is paranoid. He knew this could destroy me. So, he wouldn't give this to just anyone. Then why didn't you ask him where the ledger is? Instead, you killed him. For businessmen, there is a law: To make big money, you must know how to take big risks. Here. So you mean Bu might know where the ledger is. In order to clear his name, he will hand the ledger to the police. In this way, if we find Bu before he hands over the ledger, then... Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Over there! Have you found him? No. What about you? No. He's good at escaping. Let's go. The criminal cases that happened recently have caused a pernicious influence on our county. After reporting to the City Public Security Bureau Party Committee, 618 Task Force was established. I'll be the team leader. The deputy team leaders will be Captain Wu from the Criminal Police Group and Captain Yu from Drug Squad. Based on the current situation, Bu is a major suspect. We must arrest him as soon as possible. Wu, I don't think Bu is the murderer. Besides, he was with me before the incident. He even saved me. Comrade Yu Wanqing. Is a police officer supposed to say things like "I think" and "I should"? Let me ask you. If Bu isn't the murderer, why did he run away? Wasn't the man we were chasing that day Bu? You just don't trust me. Convince me with evidence. Bu! Bu! Bu! I'm fine. Before I die, I still have a wish. Say it. Tell her to come here and take out what's in my pocket. He's about to die but he's still talking nonsense. Hurry up. Hurry up! Come here. In the right pocket. Tingting. Considering what I do, I may die anytime. Before I met you, there was only black and red in my life. You are like a ray of light. You are so colorful. The most regretful thing in my life is that I can't put this ring on your finger myself. I'll put it on myself. Since you put it on, it means you agree to marry me. -Since you put it on, it means you agree to marry me.
-You slick. -You can't go back on your word.
-You bad boy. -You can go back on your word. You can go back on your word.
-So bad! Let's go. -Bu! -Bu! -Bu, what are you doing? -Hurry up. Let's go. Hello. Officer Yu. Where are you? You'd better turn yourself in. You are a murderer. We won't let you go. I didn't kill him. I have a clue. Meet me at the crossroads near Binglang Road in an hour. Come alone. Officer Yu. You'd better turn yourself in. Otherwise, don't blame me for bringing you back by force. If you also thought I was the murderer, you wouldn't have come alone. For the sake of my master, I'll give you a chance to turn yourself in. I'll cooperate with the police. But not now. I have an important clue. Li Ji told me before he died that there is a ledger. Where is it? I'm not sure yet. I need time. That's why I came to you. I'm surrounded by the police now. I have no chance to find the ledger. Besides, I noticed that other than the police, another group of people are following me secretly. I need your support and cooperation. Go back with me. Under our supervision, we can still find the ledger. If I turn myself in or get caught, I think Lei Gong will leave the country immediately. In that case, even if we find the evidence, we can't arrest him easily. That's just your side of the story. Today, you must go back with me. Drugs killed so many people. Don't you want to crack down on these drug dealers? I have an idea. But you must always cooperate with us. Always? Tracker. Li Ji? What happened? Li Ji? Lei Gong. The ledger. Where can it be? Is it wrong for young people to pursue our dreams? I said we would have money and we would become the richest people in the world. You two lifted me up and ran around the yard. The three of us were like happy little old men. Little old men? You two, stop playing old people's sports. You two are like two little old men. Old people's sports? This is derived from golf. Then why don't you play golf? Golf is a sport for the upper class. Can I afford it? Nice shot! Let me tell you. If I have money in the future, I'll buy this place and build the world's biggest golf course. Only the three of us can have access to it. What do you think? Do you know how big the golf course is? I don't care. No matter how small the world is, I want to be the king of this world. Guys, we are going to be successful and we'll be rich. The whole world is ours. Here we go. Captain Yu. Bu hasn't moved for half a day. Let's go and have a look. You know what? I'm a businessman. So, I only care about the result. I shouldn't have let you wake up today. But I have a question that I can't figure out. We have our own paths. Our paths don't cross. Why do you have to go against me? Drugs killed so many people. I'm here to collect debts. No, no, no. You're wrong. I'm not a killer. I'm a businessman. In this world, where there's demand, there's a businessman. I'm just meeting the demand. Those people died because of their endless desires. The true killers are those who can't control themselves and thus create demand. The real evil is not me. The greatest evil is knowing what is evil but still choosing to do evil. Maybe you're right. So what? In half an hour, I'll leave this country by ship. In 24 hours, the villain will drink whiskey by the sea. And you will become... You'd better kill me now. You made me lose so much money. I won't let you die so easily. This is the key to your handcuffs. But you can't get it. Enjoy the last 90 seconds of your life. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Boom! Let's go. Come back. Come back. It is mine. Boss, Bu is catching up. Ask the car behind us to stop him. Do you know how to drive? Hello. Captain Yu, we just heard that the suspect is near the dock. Follow him. Go to the dock. Yes. Attention, all units. Assemble at the dock. Drive! Kill him! I'm a businessman. Let's negotiate. Do you think it's possible for us to negotiate? There's nothing in this world that can't be exchanged with money. I'll give you money. I can have brothers and women everywhere. I won't let you go unless I die. You self-righteous people are the most hypocritical. You want to be a hero? Fine, I'll let you be. [The Border of Laos] Don't move. -Don't move. -Don't move. Hands up. Don't move. Don't move! Brothers, we are going to be successful and we'll be rich. The whole world is ours. Here we go. No matter how small the city is, I want to be the king of the city. Let's go! -Bu! -Bu! -What are you doing? -Hurry up. Let's go. Everyone is destined to be lonely on the journey of life.
