some of your clients...

plus the 3 cooks you've just met...

...it's only a dozen people or so

Boss said we've put in a lot of time

and money

Yet Quin's supplier is still unknown

The main point is...

Lin Quin controls more than

half of the local supply

It's a monthly turnover of at least $30M

Where does the money go?

Could Lin be backed by other people?

What does the boss want?

He wants to know

if you're OK to stay undercover further

It's 7 years now

That's why he wants your opinion

Is there anyway to nail everyone?

Lin Quin is ill

He's going to pass on

more and more duties to me

Even if there is a backer

...I'll probably never meet him

Who knows how long it will take?

It could be several years

We don't mind waiting

The Chief is impressed with your work.

You're in line for the SPC rank

I prefer cash

Me too

Oh. Congratulations!

What for?

Chief Superintendent. Ay!

But that's as high as I can go

Unless...

Unless we can nail

this entire drug supply line

It's all up to you

We must tie the whole network together.

So that we'll have solid evidence in court

And as soon as you smell

Quin plans escape route

We'll arrest him and close the case

I suppose he must have a few passports

If he ever gets to

an international airport hub...

...we'll lose him for good

I know... what's the hurry?

I have to join a soccer game

How's your girlfriend?

You two still fighting?

Aren't you getting married?

She's pregnant. Right?

- Where's the key?

- I thought you had it...

Gotta go... Call me

C'mon:
You want business or not?

I'll give you $50 more

Elaine is upstairs

She only keeps watch!

I'll fix you up with another girl!

Let me know when she's available

It's for you

Uncle... what is it?

Remember what to say?

Thank you!

Can you do any house chores?

Yes!

Go find your child a kindergarten

This is no place for a little girl

Find out what I need at home...

detergent. Toilet paper. Etc.

If you're available tonight.

Come by for dinner

I haven't cooked in a while

Okay

By the way my name is Fan

Call me Nick

How much do you want?

I want soup too

Sure...

More?

Less

Less... okay

- How's that? - That's it

Good

The price is largely

affected by the shipping cost

If the cargo is shipped C&F here.

You need to pay at least 20% more

We can cut corners by shipping ourselves.

But it's not that easy

The man holding the bag

gets the ownership and blame

If they get caught before the handover.

You don't pay

Get caught after. You pay it all

Those are the rules

Now it's ours

I thought they stop water transport

Everyone thinks so.

Which makes it the safest way

I have one!

Me too!
