Yes.

I'm in a hurry. Let me borrow them.

No way.

I beg you. Please.

You know how to make them?

That's why I asked for your number.

Wait for my call. I'll buy you coffee next time.

Fang Zhendong.

Relax, I won't take advantage of you.

It's OK as long as you'll pay me back.

Fang Zhendong.

Hello, Miss Li.

How do you know it's me?

Only you call me Fang Zhendong.

What are you doing right now?

Making dumplings.

Perfect. Can you send them over?

Why should I?

Because you're a cop, you're here to serve.

You must save me.

Cops don't save anyone with dumplings.

You're not an ordinary cop.

I'm here all by my lonesome,

you must come over and save me.

You want me to save you?

Please? Fang Zhendong.

Alright... don't cry.

Hurry, Fang Zhendong. Come on in.

Look.

You're from Hong Kong? You're very capable.

I'm not very capable. I'm simply brilliant.

Right... brilliant.

You summoned me here to watch

how you brilliantly ravage the dumplings?

Show me...

how to make genuine local dumplings.

Your wrapping...

shouldn't be too thick.

You must not put too much stuffing.

You're amazing, Fang Zhendong.

You're a true lifesaver.

Smell that?

No. I made coffee for you.

Thanks. I thought you were talking about me.

Do you cook?

No.

You cook for your girlfriend?

No. You're making...

your boyfriend dumplings?

No, you are.

Me? Why don't you eat out?

I must do something special.

A girl from Hong Kong

makes Beijing dumplings for her boyfriend.

That's so romantic.

If I do it, it will be me romancing him.

No, do you understand?

All Hong Kong cooking shows are like this:

"I made this because we're pressed for time. "

Everyone wants ready-made, not the process.

That's because he's married.

You told me when you were drunk.

I was drunk?

I'm a cop, I have a still trap.

Thank you.

He's early.

Put this on.

Andrew.

Thanks. Is the john fixed?

Yes.

Thank you.

It's all right.

I made you dumplings.

I can do better than that.

I remember the 1994...

World Cup final.

BraZil Vs...

Italy.

In the U.S.A.

Brazil Vs Italy.

I remember my ex just left me,

and you made me watch the World Cup with you.

Dong, get your facts straight.

She left because you watched the World Cup

or you watched it...

because she left you?

Fang Zhendong. Where are you?

Our worry is uncalled for.

All right.

Miss Li. Are you all right?

No lights?

You blew a fuse? No air-con?

- No power.

- This is supposed to be a 5-star home.

You're drunk again?

There's nothing to drink but alcohol.

You can't do this.

Get the manager to fix it.

Miss Li,

you should call your boyfriend.

My boyfriend?

Yes.

He doesn't want me. He's with his wife.

Miss Li.
