• Ko Chow : [after Wah is killed, Inspector Lau asks Ko Chow to go undercover again, but Chow wants out]  I sent in my resignation.

  Inspector Lau : I never got it.

  Ko Chow : Look for it.

  Inspector Lau : Chow, only you know the people that Wah did. You asked for this, remember? You can resign... once we've captured the killers.

  Ko Chow : Last time with Shing, it went bad.

  Inspector Lau : What went bad? We got him.

  Ko Chow : I betrayed a friend.

  Inspector Lau : You helped capture scum, all right? This friend ordered the deaths of hundreds. He had to die. You're a cop. Who told you to make friends with them?

  Ko Chow : [frustrated]  What else could I have done? You haven't been there!

  [Chow pauses for a moment before speaking again] 

  Ko Chow : That guy to a bullet for me, what else do you expect? I can't go through that again. Can't you please send somebody else? Why won't you just accept my resignation? Let me go Uncle Lau.

  Inspector Lau : [Lau thinks about it for a moment, but decides that he can't let Ko Chow go just yet]  You should go and visit your grandmother.

  [with that, Lau turns and leaves the morgue, instructing his men to let Chow go when he's ready]
