01x10 - Episode 10

[bunniefuu]

Mrs. Chan?

Please go to the kitchen
as discussed earlier.

Oh, hi.

We need to fix something?

Nope.

You've been renting this place
for a long time.

Everything looks dated.

It's time to give it a fresh look.

It's so kind of you
to upgrade the apartment for us.

I'm upgrading the apartment,
but not for you.

There are six months left on our lease.

Who are you upgrading it for?

I was going to wait until the lease ends,

but my grandchild will be born next week.

My daughter wants to live closer to me.

It's more convenient, you know.

So I need to end your tenancy early.

All of a sudden?

Oh well, my daughter says
this is a good school district.

Your grandchild is not even born yet,

and definitely not going to school
in half a year.

You two are single and childless,

so you don't understand.

Anyway, you have two weeks to move out.

Two weeks?

The tenancy agreement says
one month's notice is required.

You've made my apartment look so dated.

It needs a lot of repair.

How about I waive your rent
for half a month?

No, three months.

Three months? One month.

Four months.

Two months.

The lease says six months.

Three months, final offer.

Deal.

Okay, move out after a week.

Cool.

We have one week to find a place,

pack our things, and book a mover.

I don't think there's enough time.

Don't worry, it's my day off today.

Let me check with all property agencies.

I'm sure we can find an apartment.

[delightful music playing]

You're too picky. I'll take your name
if you find an apartment.

We have the same last name anyway.

Police say Wai Yi-shun,

a t*rror1st who was arrested in Hong Kong
with an Interpol Red Notice...

Excuse me.
...will be repatriated to Beihai.

Hi.

Where's the other cashier girl?

She quit.

Hi, Kiu Sir.

[sentimental music playing]

This is my boyfriend.

Today is my last day.

He came to help me pack.

Hi, Kiu Sir.

Hi.

I have some farewell treats for you.

(My dear, seeing you in the canteen
makes my day. From Namy)

Here's a g*n for you.

It's so cute. Thank you.

Interesting.

Baby, you made me a new g*n?

Thank you. I love it, baby.

It's mine.

Yeah, baby.

Thank you. Take care.

Bye.

Bye...

Goodbye.

My dear, seeing you in the canteen
makes my day.

Hey, give it back.

Stop reading it, it's so embarrassing.

It's not. Nobody knows.

Do you know?

No. Excuse me.

Sorry, man.

Stop joking around.

Life is a long lesson.

Getting rejected makes a real man.

I rejected that guy,

that guy over there, and many other guys.

Really?

What? Are you looking down on me?

I shouldn't have helped you.

No...

You're beautiful and kind.

Of course I believe you.

[delightful music playing]

Keep these farewell treats
as a thank you gift.

That's it? Are you kidding?

What do you want then?

I don't know. I'll tell you later.

You owe me one.

Seven days.

There's still a week left
before I get the results.

[sentimental music playing]

Fung.

Eat more fruit. It's good for your health.

Blueberries can improve vision.

Sitting in front of a computer every day
is bad for your eyes.

Thank you.

Let me know what you want to eat.

I'll get it for you.

How sweet.

What's going on here?

You guys know I'm making a rota
and want to change shifts?

Anyway, let us know if you need anything.

Right.

[soft music playing]

Hey, these supplements
can boost your immune system.

It's a lot. Are you a sales rep?

Of course not.

I'm not sick. I don't need these.

Whatever. It's for improving health.

All these are good.

Remember to take them, okay?

Tang, you...

Shush...

What are you doing?

Stick your tongue out.

Why are you checking my pulse?

Many young people don't believe in TCM,

but I know a great doctor.

He can't do miracles,

but pain management is his specialty.

Integrated Chinese-Western medicine
also works.

Let me know if you need help.

[amusing music playing]

Chow Tai-lik, come here.

What?

What's going on?

Did you betray me?

I didn't mean to.

They said either I told them the truth or...

Why are you asking me? Ask Cool Sir.

If he would tell us,
we wouldn't be asking you.

Exactly.

Can I not say anything?
Where are you going?

No.

Tell us why Fung is doing clerical work.

Don't make us hurt you.

What are you going to do?

It's no use fighting.

If you speak the truth, we'll show leniency.

Otherwise, don't blame us.

Fung...

What is it?

Oh no, he's crying.

It's something serious.

They got the wrong idea
and thought you had a serious illness...

Shut up!

Sorry. Why are you yelling at me?

Just blame Cool Sir. If he...

Cool Sir doesn't have a big mouth.

He's not unreliable like you.

You're a dishonest businessman.

I bought some oranges yesterday.

When I got home,
I noticed half of them were rotten.

Those were $20 per basket,

not freshest for sure.

Are you calling me cheap?

Everyone, tell me what you think.

I bought some oranges yesterday.

When I got home,
there were worms coming out.

Isn't it outrageous?

Don't listen to her.

I only sell fresh fruits.

I don't want to argue with you, old lady.

Just pick something as compensation.

Stop disturbing my customers.

These fruits arrived just this morning.

They are very fresh.

Feel free to take a look.

Take a look. All my fruits are very fresh.

Check out the durians.

I didn't trick you, but I'm not stupid.

[moaning]

Auntie Kiu, are you okay?

It's you? I'm okay.

Be careful.

I'm fine.

I feel much better after talking to you.

You sure you don't need to see a doctor?

I'll get some herbal liniment
and give you a rub.

It's okay, sit down.

You've become much prettier.

Much older.

Why didn't you come to visit me?

Have you forgotten me?

Of course not.

I came, but you weren't home.

Really? Yeung didn't tell me.

Did you two make up?

We're colleagues.

Don't worry, we don't talk to each other.

[brisk music playing]

Alright, I should get going.

What? You just got here.

I'm checking out apartments today.

Apartments?

The landlady came this morning
and asked us to move out,

so I'm looking for an apartment.

It's my agent calling.

Call me if you don't feel well, okay?

Okay, bye.

(CTRU performance ranking)

Eh? The results are out.

Let's see.

[desolate music playing]

Darn! Tai-lik beat me again!

Cool Sir is number one again.

It's just impossible to beat him.

Someone almost did.

You did so well last month.

Too bad you missed it this month
and dropped...

When you feel better and return to the team,

we can do it again. It's a monthly thing.

Let's go.

(Is the file ready?)

Did you take your medicine?

Yes.

I need to get this off my chest.

It's so unfair.

Why couldn't I join the competition?

It's an individual competition
with no physical contact.

This is discrimination.

[message sent notification]

[mouse click sound]

I need to get this off my chest.

It's so unfair.

Why couldn't I join the competition?

It's an individual competition
with no physical contact.

This is discrimination.

Sorry, Sir.

Sorry for not sending me the file
or sending me this message?

[desolate music playing]

Here you go.

Do you really think not letting you
join the competition is discrimination?

Do I have to answer?

Yes, because there's no physical contact
between colleagues.

Why didn't you let me participate?

Because you haven't got your report yet.

You're a potential carrier.

Let me ask you this.

If you were injured and bleeding
during the competition,

what would they do?

Keep their distance and ignore you?

What if someone had an open wound?

Could you forgive yourself
if something happened?

Sorry, Sir. I didn't think it through.

Then think again and answer me.

Do you still think it's unfair?

Yes, because I'm confident that
I won't get hurt.

Fine.

Come with me.

[rousing music playing]

Three, two, one, start!

[gasping]

[stopwatch sound]

So, are you happy now?

Aah! Beetle! Beetle! Beetle!

It's gone.

Are you sure?

66823.

Yes.

Let me say it one last time.

Try to overcome your fear,

or you'll be the first person in history

getting fired from CTRU for offending
your superior because of a beetle.

Understand?

Yes, Sir.

Why did my ranking drop?

Ying Fung, come here.

What?

You tell me what. Take a look.

Excuse me.

First place, Ying Fung.

You were second to last yesterday.

How did you climb to first place?

Cool Sir just updated it today.

What's going on between you guys?

Hey, hold that thought.

Are you crazy? It's not like that.

I competed against Cool Sir yesterday,

but he was faster than me.

I shouldn't be number one.

I was faster than you,

but I noticed something after you left.

Hong, let me help you.

Thank you, sir.

We always carry 10kg,

but yesterday you carried an extra 5kg,

and you were 5 seconds slower than me.

So you beat me. Fair enough?

Guys?

Fair enough...

Yeah...

Awesome.

No one has ever beaten Cool Sir.
Dinner's on you.

Let's have a tea break.

Pay for dinner.

[solemn music playing]

I don't have money. Let go.

You don't have money?

You just don't want to help me.

Then stop asking me. Let go.

Help me.

Let go!

Let go!
What do you want?

Let go!

Get the money ready. Call me.

You alright?

Uh-huh.

Do you need a ride home?

Ask questions if you want.

Talk to me if you want,
but you don't have to.

I'm just a taxi driver taking you home.

Taxi drivers in Hong Kong
ask many questions and talk a lot.

I don't think so. I take taxis all the time.

I see.

They chat you up because you're pretty.

Taxi driver, I don't want to go home.

Can you take me to a place?

[sentimental music playing]

I know this place is famous for pictures,

but why did you bring me here?

I was here before this place became famous.

You lived here?

Until I turned 10 years old.

My dad would bring me here
and play with me on holiday.

Our favorite game was hopscotch.

It was fun. Then we'd go home for dinner.

But as it turned out,
my good father was a lie.

Some loan sharks
came to collect his gambling debt.

He even lost his construction job.

My mom and I moved to a relative's home
to avoid those debt collectors.

Surprised, huh?

Many people say I look like a rich girl
from a wealthy family.

They tease you
for wasting money on brand names.

So? I spend my own money.

I told myself I must treat myself well.

I wouldn't be like my mom,

working multiple jobs
to clear my dad's debt.

It ruined her health and cost her her life.

So that man is your bad father?

How dare he ask you for money?

I know. Funny, right?

After my mom died, my dad came after me.

He even gambled my grant loan away.

What?

I guess I carry more of my mom's genes.

Every time he asks for money, I say no,

but I'm too soft-hearted.

Before my mom died, she said,

"Your dad is not a bad man.

He loves you very much.

Help him whenever you can."

He just told me he's getting married

and asked me to pay for his wedding.

I've never heard of a daughter
paying for her father's wedding.

Shame on him.

Whatever.

I think I'm done helping him.

We can't choose our parents,

but you cut ties with your dad
when you were 10 years old.

That man is a scumbag
trying to take advantage of you.

Don't let him do that.

Let's change the subject.

I'm hungry. You want to grab a bite?

Sure.

[romantic music playing]

Be careful.

You okay?

You said we couldn't choose our parents,

but for the sake of my future kids,

shouldn't I choose a caring
and reliable husband who doesn't lie?

Absolutely not.

Choose a rich husband who doesn't gamble,

then your kids will be born rich.

Isn't that wonderful?

No, I'm serious.

If I found a good man,

I wouldn't let him get away.

Yay, let's go eat. Your treat.

You found a place? Why didn't you tell me?

I closed a leasing deal
just 15 minutes before you got home.

Really? Wait a minute.

Where is it located? Is it convenient?

Is it new? Will I like it?

Don't worry, it's a good location,

very convenient for work,

with a supermarket downstairs,

a shopping mall and many restaurants nearby.

Most important of all,

it's a nicely renovated 3 bedroom,

and the rent is much lower.

Really? Is it haunted?

Don't be so negative.

Anyway, leave the moving part to me.

Just pack your own things.

Bro!

You're the best brother in the world!

I'll go take a shower.

[amusing music playing]

[renovation noise]

Why today? Today is a holiday.

Be careful not to scratch the wall.

I told them to be quiet.

Did we wake you up?

Get back there, I'll make you breakfast.

The wall is cracked.

What? Where?

Got you.

Did someone pay you to supervise them?

Come here. You'll find out sooner or later.

We own this apartment.

What?

I bought it.

You serious?

Did you win the lottery or something?

What are you talking about?

I used my savings.

I'm starting to suspect
you stole money from Grandma.

Nonsense. When you were at work,

I secretly worked in a mahjong club
as a cleaner and saved hard.

We already have a place to live.

Why do we need another apartment?

You're going to get married.

We're not related in any way.

You won't live with me
after you get married.

What are you talking about?

You are my dearest one.

Stop it, you're giving me goosebumps.

[soft music playing]

[message ringtone]

(Ying Fung's report is ready today)

Right.

Stop crying. It's manageable.

I know many doctors.

Let me take you to the doctor.

[amusing music playing]

Are you worried about your job?

I can let you stay here for clerical work.

You've been doing a great job.

Senior management praised your performance.

[giggling]

I got my report. I'm fine.

You...

I didn't say anything.

You should've told me.

Why were you crying and putting things away?

I was about to tell you.

I sneezed and blew my nose.

You got the wrong idea.

How dare you tease me? You want to run laps?

Am I back on the team? I'll run.

Come back tomorrow. No need to run today.

Thank you, Sir. Er...

What? You have something to say?

Thanks for keeping my secret

and letting me join the competition
to keep up with the progress.

Don't get me wrong. This isn't about you.

You're not privileged.

Anyway, thank you.

You should thank the one
who cares and worries most about you.

[brisk music playing]

It's more than enough.

Who do you think you are?

Working hard is fine,

but don't hand out flyers outside my shop.

Are you messing with me?

Hi, beautiful.

You're the hottest girl here.

Should I take you to the police station?

Sorry, Madam. I've got the wrong person.

How dare you steal my business?

You're dead meat.

Ma'am, you've got the wrong idea.

I'm not a prost*tute.

I'm not stealing your business.

Are you talking to me?

I'm not one of you.

I'm just waiting for my food.

It's a cover-up. Stop pretending.

This is my boyfriend. Just give up.

I remember you. I've seen you before.

You were the middle-aged auntie arguing
with a man outside the convenience store.

Are you calling me middle-aged auntie?

Shut up!

I'm just a bit older than you.

You seem healthy and strong.

Why would you rather sleep with men
than get a real job?

Shame on you.

Mom, what are you doing?

Right on time.

Teach this witch a lesson.

She said I stole her customer.

By the way,

where's the client I referred to you?

Aren't you supposed to meet him here?

Wait a second. She's your mom?

Unbelievable. Both of you are sex workers?

What?

How shameless.

She's not young anymore.

So creepy.

What did you say?

We're not, don't listen to her.

They are dishonest.

I hope Cool Sir didn't get scammed.

Let's go.

I can't believe it.

She left so fast. I was gonna chew her out.

What happened?

A street prost*tute said
she stole her customer.

Can you believe it?

Look at your dress.

It's so short. I can see your panties.

Bro, what did I do in my past life?

I'd rather have a piece of pork
than a daughter like her.

Stop copying me!

Okay...

I look like a prost*tute? That's ridiculous.

Brother Shing.
Yes?

Give my sister an iced honey lemon drink.

Sure.

Mom, I don't understand why
I always have to pick up your orders.

To save on shipping costs.

It saves her a lot of money.

You're not busy and you have a car.

Or are you busy dating?

Nope.

Exactly.

What?

This is my son.

Did I tell you he's a muscular man?

He's big and strong, isn't he?

What?

Mrs. Ku said you're a cop.

He's a CIP. Sit down and talk.

Talk to each other. It's on the house.

Sorry, my mom likes to introduce me
to her customers.

Don't mind her.

It's okay, we can be friends.

Is it dangerous to be a cop?

Do you have insurance?

It's okay if you don't.

Call me anytime. I'm an insurance agent.

I can help you find a policy
that best fits your needs.

You've messed up again.

And it cost me a meal.

[electric cooktop turned off]

Hi, Mom. Let me help you.

You asked me to come home early for dinner?

It's not just dinner.

I went straight to your favorite
roast meat shop after work,

made soup and beef short ribs.

It's a little burnt though.

Eat it while it's hot.

Try it.

Are you trying to tell me something?

[solemn music playing]

Yes.

There's something I haven't told you yet.

A suspect pricked me with a needle.

I had to get an HIV test,

but I got the results today. I'm fine.

I don't want to lie to you anymore.

It's k*lling me.

I wish you never told me.

You knew, didn't you?

After you called
and asked me to be home early,

someone at work said,

"Congratulations. Your daughter is safe.

How are you going to celebrate?"

Do you know how I responded?

Sorry, Mom.

I couldn't respond.

I see you every day,

but I know nothing about you.

I didn't want to worry you.

That's why I didn't tell you.

What else?

I know I promised I wouldn't get hurt again,

but this is different.

And I'm fine.

So you're not going to quit, are you?

I can promise you anything except that.

Then move out.

What?

I'm so tired. You know what I mean?

You keep arguing with someone
over the same thing,

but you can never change that person's mind.

You've chosen this path.

I don't want it to hurt our relationship.

The only solution is...

stop seeing you.

[amusing music playing]

Is something wrong with you?

No.

Then why did you choose this place?

You said this place was nice and convenient.

Mr. Kiu, which floor?

I got this. Stop it.

This way please.

Be careful with the door.

One, two, three. Okay, thanks.

Kiu Tai-nam,

why did you choose
to live next door to a scumbag?

Listen to me, Po-po.

This apartment is nice, newly renovated,

in a good neighbourhood
with the best amenities.

There's nowhere else in Hong Kong
better than here.

He's living next door,
not sleeping next to you.

Who cares?

I do!

I see him at work every day.

I don't want to see him at home.

Find another place right now.

No, I signed a lease
with one year fixed and one year option.

We have to pay a year's rent
whether we live here or not.

If you don't want to see him,

simply close the curtain,

then you won't see anything.

If you bump into him outside,

act like you see a ghost
and close your eyes.

The rent is really low,

much lower than market price.

It's dumb to waste a year's rent
for someone like him, right?

Fair enough. We will move out after a year.

Did you say the rent is 20% lower?

50%.

Half?

Two years then.

[amusing music playing]

I forgot my keys.

[stomach gurgling]

Auntie Kiu, answer the phone.

Where are you?

I can't take it anymore.

Remember to buy bathroom cleaner.

[door closing]

[moaning]

Pervert!

Why are you here?

What are you looking at? Close the door!

Don't move!

Are you crazy? Why are you recording me?

You're trespassing with malicious intent.

The video will be presented
as evidence in court.

You know, my tenant moved out.

I asked my agent to lease it,

and Namy was looking for an apartment.

It's even better, isn't it?

Do you expect me to believe you?

[amusing music playing]

Po-po, I swear I had no idea

Auntie Kiu was the property owner
until I signed the lease.

She's the title holder,

but I paid for the majority part,

which makes me a co-owner.

So? It doesn't mean
you can trespass and poop in my toilet.

Let me say it again. I'm a co-owner.

I didn't know someone was moving in.

It says moving company.

Are you blind or what?

I'll clean the toilet, okay?

Listen carefully. Delete the video,

or I'll sue you for privacy violation.

Sure, let's go to the police station.

I'll sue you for making my bathroom smell.

You don't poop?

Not smelly like yours.

Someone farted in the elevator
the other day.

It smelled so bad I almost puked.

What's the POTT group name?

I have a video to share.

Do it, I dare you.

Try me.

What can I do to make you delete the video?

Do what I say, then I'll think about it.

Fine by me.

Are we good?

Come over for dinner sometime.

Sure.
I'll walk you out.

Good.

Don't even think about it.

It's never going to happen.

Delivery.

Bread, steamed rice rolls, rice ba*ls.

Chinese, Western, Japanese.

Since when did you become so picky?

I owe you a meal.

[amusing music playing]

Here's your United Nations breakfast.

I hope you have diarrhea.

Wait.

The bread is hard and cold.

No sauce on the steamed rice rolls.

Where's the miso soup?

Rice ba*ls must go with miso soup.

Where's your common sense?

I've never seen anyone so bossy
and annoying.

Am I bossing you around?

My bad. I'll make it right next time.

I owe you two meals.

Wait.

Now what?

Tomorrow is a holiday.
Come to my place to work.

You bat...

Sure.

Don't be late.

Hello? Auntie Kiu, this is Shadow.

I bought you some abalones.

Oh, you're not home? Next time then.

Okay, bye.

You're taking advantage of me.

I did the dishes, laundry,
took the trash out.

Now I have to clean the toilet?

Because you ejected in my toilet.

You don't remember? Let me remind you.

Fine, I'll do it.

Wait.

Now what?

Here's a shopping list.

You're such a bossy...

Don't miss anything.

What's going on?

You came. Why didn't you call me?

Auntie Kiu is not home.

Er, go to my place.

I'll go buy some stuff. Be back soon.

[keys clanging]

[clearing throat]

All right, battle-axe.

I didn't invite you in.

[door closing]

I must say I'm impressed.

You've been bossing Ocean around
for a few days.

It's forever, not just a few days.

Why are you doing this? Is he your servant?

It's none of your business.

He doesn't deserve this.

You're funny.

You broke up with him a long time ago.

Why won't you leave him alone?

[solemn music playing]

I won't leave him alone?

Yeah.

Otherwise why did you join POTT
and move in next door?

What do you want?

Why I joined POTT and where I live
is none of your business.

So no room for talking?

Why should I talk to you?

Fine.

Hello, Namy?

Yes, you said you'd help me.

Please go to Sheung Wan
and get five boxes of preserved eggs,

then go to Yuen Long
and get two dozens wife cakes,

then go to Sai Kung Pier
and buy three lobsters.

Yes, thank you.

You want to play hardball?

Yes, but it's none of your business.

[phone dialing]

Where are you? Can you help me...

I'm going to Sheung Wan
for something urgent.

I won't be home for dinner. Bye.

I'm sick of eating the same thing every day.

When will we arrive?

In about half an hour.

Good.

Let me get you some fruit.

You are my dessert.

What are you doing?

[shouting]

Stop!

Help...
Don't move!

No...
Stop moving!

Help...

Help...

What are you doing?

[screaming]

Honey...

You k*lled my husband!

[crying]

I hate being disturbed when I'm eating.

Take care of it. You'll drive the boat.

You like this brand too?

Yes, but not anymore.

I don't want to become an ejector.

[amusing music playing]

[solemn music playing]

Sir, ID please.

I forgot to bring it.

You forgot? Where do you live?

Over there.

What's in your bag? Let me see it.

Mate.

Are you alright, mate? Hang in there.

Police!

Are you alright?

Press on the wound. Call an ambulance.

Call for backup.

Hung Hom Road...

[intense music playing]

Over there!
