Episode 1
The series begins with someone
getting shot. At the police station the next day, the audience
sees Esther and Joyce for the first time. Apparently, Esther has
been a cop for ten years and she works in the office. It's really
funny at the beginning because she's bustling in and out of the
office where there's a meeting, telling people to fix the air
conditioning and then dragging a fan in. Joyce is at the meeting
and its her first day on the job.
Before the cops are sent out to patrol the streets, Esther comes
running, chasing them for the lottery money. While Joyce is
patrolling with another cop, the dead body is discovered. Bobby
comes to the scene munching on a sandwich and gives Joyce a look.
We find out that Bobby is Joyce's uncle. Joyce's family is
comprised of her uncle(Bobby), two younger sisters, and her mom.
They own a tiny street café. Bobby is a gun expert at the police
station.
At Esther's home, we see her family (her son & husband). She
finds out that they won third prize for the lotto and is
thrilled. The next day, she goes to work to pass out the money
and says that Joyce is her lucky star b/c it was her numbers that
won.
The following day, Joyce and another cop are out patrolling
again. The other cop wants to sit and eat a little something but
Joyce is reluctant. She sees two guys starting an argument with
the waiter and goes up to check it out. She asks the guys for
their ID and they run. She goes chasing after them and sees that
one of them has a gun. One guy shoots at her in the middle of the
street. They get away at the end. She gets in trouble at the
police station for causing such havoc in the streets.
The case gets transferred to a different department because its
so serious. Joyce has to go and talk to the people from the other
dept. Marco is the team leader of that dept. Their relationship
doesn't get off to a good start b/c he starts by criticizing her
for her immature actions the other day.
Bobby finds out that Joyce was criticized by Marco. When he
returns a report to him the next day, he makes fun of Marco.
Marco gets a whole team of people on the case. They have
everything planned out to catch the guys. However, his plans are
screwed up when Joyce shows up unexpectedly, patrolling the
street and sees the criminals. She screams out and starts running
after them and the two guys get out and open fire, killing a lot
of people. Marco's team rushes out also. Marco saves Joyce from
getting shot by pulling her aside. Joyce is thrown on the ground.
She opens fire and shoots one of the guys on the leg.
Episode 2
One of the criminals is captured.
At the hospital, Marco once again criticizes Joyce for not
considering the results of her rash actions, causing so many
people to get injured. Bobby stands up for her.
At home, Joyce and Bobby sneak into the house, hoping to avoid
her mom. Luckily, its dark in the house and they don't see her so
Bobby decides to take a seat on the couch and ends up sitting on
her. Apparently, she's been sick all day and hasn't seen the news
so she doesn't know that her daughter opened fire, otherwise,
Joyce would be in trouble b/c her mom doesn't like her being a
cop. Bobby tries to keep her from watching tv, making up lousy
little excuses. But Joyce's two sisters come home and turn the tv
on and Joyce is in big trouble. She gets a big lecture.
Joyce is told to do office duties for a while b/c she opened fire
and she also has to see a psychiatrist.
Bobby and Esther are on the bus together. He falls asleep on her
a few times so she takes her bag out and wacks him with it and
smiles at him sweetly when he wakes up. They end up switching
bags by accident. His bag has X-rated VCDs so Esther thinks he's
a pervert. Bobby calls her to tell her where to wait but Esther's
phone was broken so she couldn't hear him and ends up at the
wrong place. She's late to pick up her son and he ends up
missing. Bobby calls back and he goes to find her. She is pissed
off at him b/c her son is missing.
He tries to help her look for him and tells her to go home b/c he
might be there and indeed, her son is waiting outside the house.
That night, Esther's house has no electricity and the electrician
refused to go so she went to her boss's house b/c her son needed
light to study. Its really funny b/c her boss's wife calls and
Estehr picks up the phone.
The next day, the bad guy goes to rescue his brother from the
hospital. Marco is there waiting already. His team chases after
the criminals. They hold a nurse captive. They are captured when
the injured guy dies from his wound.
At the police station, Esther is cooking noodles in the office.
Her boss comes in and tells her to stop cooking noodles b/c its
dangerous and asks for a file. Esther drops papers by the noodles
and starts a fire. Her boss extinguishes the fire with the
bottled water and slips on the water and ends up on top of her.
His wife walks in just then. (funny =)
Episode 3
Esther walks into the police station's canteen. Rumors spreads
that there's something going on between her and her boss. She
tries to clear up the misunderstandings to her co-workers but no
one will believe her except Joyce.
Esther goes home and complains to her husband about the work
situation. He consoles her and tells her to ignore what others
say about her and her boss. The next day at the police station:
Her boss is trying to ignore her. By the bosses' wife's command,
Esther gets transferred out of the office and is now a police
patrolling out on the streets. Esther is quite upset over this.
However, at the end of the day she confronts him. He tells her he
has to obey his wife's orders because her dad and uncles are high
ranking police officers.
Esther complains to her husband again. She's contemplating on
whether to quit the job she had for over 10 years or to find a
new job. However, at the end she decides to stay because of the
money. She wants to save up enough money to take the whole family
to Disneyland.
Joyce receives a recognition award for being the first female to
ever shoot. She gets notified that she is being transferred to
SDS (another department in the police station). Esther cleans up
her work place in the police station and in doing so, she takes
back everything that she brought for her boss including this
cushion that he sits on. (This part is pretty hilarious). Outside
the police station, Esther sees Joyce and Bobby in the same car.
She thinks that Bobby is Joyce's boyfriend.
Reporters all gather outside the food place that Joyce's family
owns for a chance to interview her. When the reporters ask her
questions, the neighborhood friends responds before she has a
chance to. Bobby uses this opportunity to tell the reporters that
Joyce's mom is really proud of what she has accomplished putting
her mom on the spot. (Joyce's mom has always disagreed with her
occupation as a cop and wants her to quit)
It is Esther's first day patrolling the streets as an officer.
She complains to her co-worker that she is really tired. Her
co-worker responds to her saying that it hasn't even been an hour
yet. During her patrol, she encounters a rat and screams.
Afterwards, she sees Bobby with Joyce's two younger sister in a
clothing store. She assumes he's some type of flirt.
Previously, Bobby runs into his ex-girlfriend who tells him she
is getting married. Now, Bobby is at a bar trying to get a girl.
His family pounds him with questions about getting back together
with his ex-girlfriend.
Marco also gets transferred to SDS and it so happens that he is
Joyce's team leader. Joyce doesn't take the news contently.
Esther, her husband, and her son are enjoying their family day at
ocean park. Esther picks up her husband's cell phone and tells
him it's a call from his mistress. Her husband's facial
expression changes drastically.
Episode 4
Esther was just joking about the
phone call with her husband. Her husband begins to feel guilty of
keeping a mistress in China.
Esther and her co-worker rush to the scene where a women is about
to commit suicide. She tries to persuade the women not to jump
off the building, but at the end she pulls the women back and
receives a minor injury to her arm.
Joyce's mom wants to introduce Bobby to a girl. She offers him a
set of pictures that he can select from. The next day Joyce's mom
brings the girl over to the food place they own. Bobby is
basically forced to take the girl home. On the way home, the girl
looses her contact in Bobby's car. Bobby parks by the side of the
street and helps her look also. However, Esther sees him and it
seems like he's doing something inappropriate to the girl. She
asks for his license and an argument erupts between them in the
street. They knock the girl's purse out of her hand. They
discover the girl is a prostitute. During the heated argument,
Bobby forgets to pull his handbrake on his car. His car rolls
down the street and hits the fire hydrant. Inside the police
station, the argument continues and Joyce settles it. Esther
finds out that Bobby is her uncle. (This part is really funny.
Esther asks for the girls ID and Bobby tells the girl she doesn't
have to show it. They argue back and forth).
Marco has an operation. During the operation, Joyce chases after
some prostitute by climbing up the side of some building. Marco
scolds her about her dangerous behavior. He tells her that men
can perform dangerous activities but women can't. Joyce is really
upset by this.
Esther is learning how to cook for her husband. Her husband is
feeling guiltier and guiltier by the moment about keeping a
mistress. Her husband wants her to be more independent but she
says she has him to lean on. Esther also gets transferred to SDS
and is very happy about not having to wear the police uniform.
Joyce complains to Esther about Marco. The team has an operation:
Esther dresses up like a prostitute to attract men. When these
men approach her, other members of her team arrest them. Esther
extols herself for still having the beauty to attract 5 men.
Esther's husband comes home telling her he wants a divorce. She
has a shocked expression on her face.
Episode 5
Esther's husband asks for a
divorce. He says that he's really tired, and that marrying her
was more like having a daughter than a wife. He's willing to give
her the house and custody of their son. Esther is devastated.
Joyce goes to Esther's house to find her b/c she didn't show up
for work. She finds Esther hiding in her room, under the covers,
crying. She tells Joyce that her husband wants a divorce.
Esther goes to find her husband and finds out that he has another
woman and that woman is pregnant. Esther leaves and when she gets
home, her son is throwing a tantrum b/c he wants his dad. Esther
tells him that he's not coming back.
Marco's team has another "so wong" function. One of the
guys they catch tells them that he has a wife and doesn't want to
get in trouble. When Esther hears this, she starts smacking the
guy. Another guy is hiding in the closet and runs out later.
Joyce, Marco, and another team member chase after him but Marco
grabs Joyce just as she's about to jump off the building after
the guy. Joyce gets pissed b/c she thinks Marco is discriminating
against women again.
Bobby's friend gets arrested during the function. Marco questions
him.
Marco's team go out for a drink and they talk about Joyce, about
how she's too tough and not like a girl. They all go to Marco's
house and see his girlfriend, Crystal, there. The next day, Marco
and Crystal run into his dad. (They seem overly polite to each
other--I'm on episode 12 and they still don't explain their
politeness). They go to his parents' house for dinner.
Marco's team is having another function. They are watching Sum
Zhe's men. Apparently, Bobby's friend (the one that got arrested)
is working for her. Later, Marco and one of the teammates go out
for a midnight snack and they see Bobby and his friend. They
almost get into a fight.
Episode 6
Bobby argues with his friend,
trying to persuade him to get serious and find a good job. Joyce
is waiting for Bobby at his house to talk to him b/c she saw him
with his friend (one of the guys working for Sum Zhe). Bobby
tells Joyce that his friend has a kind heart. He's not whom he
appears to be.
Esther and another teammate are following another one of Sum
Zhe's men. He sees them and tries to escape so Esther and the
other cop separate to go and find him. Esther gets into some
trouble with the village people and they start chasing after her
with brooms and sticks. She and the other cop get beaten up.
Heehee.
Esther is having problems with her son at home.
The next day, Esther wants to apologize to the other cop so she
goes to the cafetaria to get coffee and sandwiches for everyone.
Bobby sees her there and is still angry at her so he puts hot
sauce into all the drinks while she's not looking. Her teammates
think she doesn't want to buy the drinks and is being evil. She
runs downstairs and yells at Bobby. She runs out crying. Her
teammates are outside the cafetaria and they yell at Bobby for
being so inconsiderate.
Esther's son sneaks out and goes to the arcade. He sees Bobby
there and they play a video game together (one with guns).
Esther's son follows Bobby and they go out to eat hamburgers.
They become good friends.
Marco and Crystal go to his parents for dinner. His parents
devise a plan to rent their apartment downstairs to Crystal so
that they can see their son more. But the plan fails b/c Crystal
doesn't want to live close to them.
Bobby is speaking to Esther's son on the phone and his two nieces
and Joyce's mom thinks that its a girl.
There's another function

of Sum Zhe's men. The guy knocks Marco down. Joyce saves him.
Episode 7
Marco captures this guy who
admits to being the head of the prostitution ring. However, in
reality a women named "Sum Zhe" is behind everything.
At the police station: Everyone else is busy doing something but
Esther falls asleep and snores. Marco tells Esther that she is
slacking off and encourages her to do better knowing that she has
some family problems. He doesn't blame her at all. Joyce
continues to complain about Marco to Esther. However, Esther
thinks otherwise and praises him instead. Outside the police
station, Marco thanks Joyce for saving his life. The whole team
(which is all guys excluding Esther) goes out to Dim Sum. Joyce's
attitude about Marco has taken a whole new turn. During Dim Sum,
Joyce and Marco are engaged in a conversation about all these
different sports that they have participated in.
Bobby takes Esther's son out to play and eat. When Bobby takes
the little boy home he is very depressed. Bobby tells him to do
well in school and in return Esther's son tells Bobby that he is
very handsome. (This part was really cute). Esther doesn't have
enough money to pay off all of the bills. As a result, she takes
his son's money to help out. Her son is upset at her. The next
day at the police station: Esther receives a phone call from her
son's teacher regarding her son's absence from ballet class.
Esther returns home and scolds her son. The next day Esther finds
money missing from her apartment. She believes that her son took
the money to buy a play gun and yells and hits him. Her son runs
over to Bobby's family owned food place. Esther chases after her
son. Inside the food place Bobby and Esther have a huge quarrel
over her son. (At the same time they are pulling the little boy
back and forth - very funny). Esther gets really upset and
leaves. When she returns home, she finds many other items in her
apartment missing. Esther realizes that the maid was the culprit.
Esther apologizes to her own son and blames herself for being too
ignorant. Joyce tries to console her, but is unsuccessful. Upon
seeing the situation, Bobby also tries to help her.
At Joyce's apartment: His three nieces and sister-in-law scolds
Bobby for being so mean to Esther. They won't let him eat dinner.
Bobby's friend who works for "Sum Zhe" wants to bail
this girl out of her prostitution ring. "Sum Zhe" wants
$200,000 for the girl but he doesn't have the money. After some
thought, Bobby's friend decides to help Marco. He decides to
testify against "Sum Zhe" and gives Marco information
on her whereabouts.
Marco's team arrive at the same time "Sum Zhe's
husband" (who is a taiwan criminal who just escaped from
jail) and a boat full of other prostitutes arrive on the dock.
The police points the guns at them.
Episode 8

reveal their identity to "Sum Zhe" and her men.
"Sum Zhe and her men start firing at the police trying to
escape. During the shoot out, "Sum Zhe's husband dies".
Joyce thanks Marco for saving her life. (This part is really
exciting)
Bobby's friend becomes a witness. He wants to start a whole new
life with the girl prostitute that he loves. Bobby acts like he's
reprimanding his friend, but in reality he's happy that his
friend wants to change for the better because of Marco's
influence.
The polices' operation continues. Marco and his team are still
out to capture "Sum Zhe" and two of her men who had
escaped the last time. Their operation is still unsuccessful.
"Sum Zhe" wants revenge on Marco and Joyce for the
death of her husband. Therefore, "Sum Zhe" and her two
men shoot a bullet through the window of the police building
where Marco's team worked. Other team members come rushing into
the office only to find Esther hiding under her desk and shaking.
Esther is wounded slightly on her arm and turns kind of
hysterical. She is afraid to die because she still has a son to
care for. Bobby who works under the firearms department comes to
retrieve the bullets that "Sum Zhe" and her men fired
to determine what type of gun they used. After performing some
tests, Bobby is still indecisive about what type of guns they
used. However, he did notify Marco that the bullets contain
poison which could kill a person on the spot if hit.
Outside the police station: While driving Bobby sees Esther who
is about to faint. He asks if she needed any help and she replies
no but then faints. Bobby takes her home and tells her what types
of food is good her because she told him she has low blood
pressure.
Marco's boss is upset about the shooting incident that took place
in the police station. At the end of the day, Marco offers to
take Joyce home, but along the way they stop by a fishball stand
to eat. Then he realizes that he has a dinner date with his
girlfriend and is very late so he calls a cab for Joyce instead.
After dinner, Marco and his girlfriend go out for a walk and he
proposes to her.
Joyce tries to hide from her mother because she is afraid that
her mother already found out about the shooting incident that
took place at the police station. Her mother complains about
having some heart problems, but in reality she is fine. She just
wants Joyce to quit her job.
Bobby goes over to Esther's apartment to help take care of her
son without her knowing. While he was over at her place, he
cleaned, fixed some of her appliances, and cooked some soup for
her. Bobby tells her son to say that he did everything all by
himself b/c he wants to be a good boy. When Esther comes home,
she questions her son about who cooked the soup, who fixed the
air condition, etc. Her son replies that he cooked the soup, but
that she fixed everything else. Now, Esther believes that she did
all this when she was sleep walking.
Esther hands Marco a letter of resignation, but Marco tells her
he will keep it for the time being. Bobby warns Marco about the
new type of gun that "Sum Zhe" and her men are using.
Marco receives news of the whereabouts of "Sum Zhe" and
her two men. They rush to the place. Marco orders Esther to stay
outside while the rest of the team enters the place. "Sum
Zhe" and her men lock Marco's team inside. She has planted a
bomb that is ready to explode within a couple of minutes.
Episode 9
The bomb has only a few minutes
left before its going to explode. Esther is still in the car. She
hides lower when she sees Sum Zhe's car passing by. Esther rushes
to the storage place where the rest of her team is locked up.
Marco throws his gun out from a hole and tells Esther to shoot
the chain because it is impossible to open up the storage place
from the inside. Esther misses the first 2 shots from makes the
third one and shoots the chain off. Seconds later, the bomb
explodes. Bobby is rushing to the scene and he calls Joyce. She
tells him that they're ok. As he is driving, he sees Sum Zhe's
car passing by so he follows her and tells Joyce where she's
headed. Marco's team quickly follows.
Another cop on a motorcycle sees Sum Zhe's car and she runs him
over. Bobby tries to save him and Sum Zhe takes out a bazooka (a
humongous gun) and shoots the hood off of Bobby's car. Marco and
his team arrive. Sum Zhe holds another cop hostage and tells them
to put all their guns down and they do. She aims to take a shot
at Marco to avenge her husband's death but Bobby shoots her and
saves Marco. Sum Zhe realizes that she has no chance so she
commits suicide.
The next day, Marco's team is praised for their efforts. Marco
wants to thank Bobby for saving him. He sees Bobby headed for the
men's room so he follows Bobby in. (This part is sooooooo funny)
Bobby is standing there peeing and Marco couldn't quite get the
words out while Bobby was peeing. Bobby gives Marco a funny look
(a look that says why the heck are you watching me urinate).
Marco quickly thanks him and leaves. Later that night, Bobby
tells Joyce about the bathroom incident =)
Bobby is at Esther's house, helping her clean and watching after
her son again. He hears Esther so he hides but Esther sees his
jacket. They get into an argument.
Esther wants to get her resignation letter back. Her teammates
know that Marco destroyed the letter already but they play a joke
on her.
Joyce's mom is even more fearful now because of the bombing. She
thinks of a plan to marry Joyce off.
Bobby's birthday is coming up. Even though he doesn't have a
date, he acts like a lot of people want to go out with him.
Joyce's mom sets up a "toa fa zhen" in her room (this
is something superstitious where she puts a red string, red
hearts, and a red blanket in Joyce's room. It's supposed to help
her find a boyfriend.) Bobby and Joyce both laugh at it but when
Bobby gets into his room, he sets up his own "toa fa
zhen" (haaahaaa).
Bobby calls everyone from his old phone book to find a date but
he can't find anyone. He wanders the streets sees a fortune
teller who tells him that if he can't find a wife by the time
he's 40, he's going to be lonely forever. Later, he goes to a
restaurant for dinner by himself but runs into Esther and her
son. They laugh at another guy who the waiters are singing a
birthday song to. But then the waiters come with his birthday
cake and sing to him. Esther and her son start cracking up while
Bobby's denying that its his birthday. She gives him a pack a
cookies for his birthday and he's sooooo happy =)
Marco's parents go to his house and they find a wedding ring.
They correctly assume that he's getting married and they're
thrilled. Marco and Crystal go to his parents house for dinner
again and he tells them that Crystal is going to France for a
year to study fashion design.
Marco and Joyce run into each other at a karate place and they
wrestle each other. Later they go to his house to watch a soccer
game.
Esther decides that she wants to get a gun so she has to take the
test. During her practice sessions, her whole hand is shaking
nonstop b/c she's so weak. In fact, she's so weak that she can't
even pull the trigger so she tells her instructer. Her instructor
tells her to hand him the gun and she points it at him
heehee. He yells at her. At the police station cafetaria,
it's even funnier. She's eating with her team and her hand is
shaking so badly that she can't even pick up the food. Everyone
gives her advice.
Bobby takes Esther and her son to play paintball so she can
practice. He also gives her tips on shooting. The day of the test
comes. She has to make 48/60 shots. She misses the first 2.
Episode 10
Marco's team is awaiting the news
of Esther's test. They set up a gambling bet on Esther's chances
of winning. Marco and Joyce vote for Esther to win and they guess
right. Esther only missed 8 shots. Everyone else has to treat
them to dinner. SDS is breaking up soon. They have to go back to
their original team.
Marco has a BBQ at his house. Later, he goes back to the police
station b/c he's sad that the team is separating. Joyce goes back
too b/c she forgot her watch. They talk for hours.
Joyce and Esther return to patrolling the streets. Later, Esther
and Joyce find out that they have to be sent to PTU (some sort of
extensive police training). Esther is upset b/c she knows that
her physical abilities are extremely low. She tells Bobby that
she's not going to survive.
Joyce's mom introduces her to a guy that looks really cheesy. Her
mom forces them to go to the movies. When Joyce is alone with
him, she scares him off by smoking and acting like a slut. Marco
sees her scaring the guy off and starts cracking up. They go out
for a drink and he's laughing the whole time. He ask her if she's
ever had a boyfriend or ever liked anyone. He drives her home
afterwards and she's kind of drunk so he tries to help her. And
then her mom sees them and she wrongly assumes that he's her
boyfriend.
At PTU, Joyce and Esther go through extensive training. Bobby
cooks at her house again. He tries to make her feel better.
Esther is exhausted. Bobby brings Esther's son to Ocean Park. At
home, her son cuts out his dad's face from a picture and puts
Bobby's picture in place of it. He wants Bobby to be his dad.

together with her ex-boyfriend. They break up. Marco is really
sad. He runs into Joyce the next day and they go out for a drink.
He tells her about breaking up with Crystal and she tries to
comfort him. He gets drunk and she has to drag him home. She puts
him in bed and he grabs her hand by mistake. (heeehee, Joyce is
falling for Marco)

defense.
Esther returns home from training to find out from her son that
Bobby is sick. She takes her son to visit Bobby bringing along
some congee for him to eat. When Bobby sees them at the door, he
rushes into his bedroom to get dressed. (This part is pretty
funny). Joyce's mom calls Bobby to find out if he was feeling
better, but Esther picks up the phone instead. She wonders who
the girl can be and sneaks into his house to look for the girl,
but Esther has already left with her son. Joyce's mom discovers a
string of long hair on the couch and questions Bobby.
Marco and Joyce go out for drinks, but she gets inebriated so

Out Ceremony is held to congratulate all those that have passed.
Joyce's family members and their past teammates at SDS came to
celebrate this event with them. However, Marco was unable to
attend because of court appearance for some other case making
Joyce very disappointed. Meanwhile, Joyce's mom is scrutinizing
all of Joyce's male teammates trying to deduce who her boyfriend
is. Bobby sees Joyce's mom unusual behavior and asks her if she
is looking for another male companion. Later that night, Joyce's
mom asks her why she isn't going out with her friends to
celebrate. She replies that she's really tired and is going to
bed soon, but the minute that she receives a phone call from
Marco, she leaves. Marco treats her out to eat and while they are
walking they come to a stand selling cheap flashlights. Marco
purchases two and gives one to Joyce.
Esther has hired a new maid to care for her son. However, when
Bobby visits her son he sees the maid playing majong leaving

including the maid leave.
Esther and Joyce are transferred to the country side (border of
China and Hong Kong) for a couple of weeks.
With the new maid gone, Bobby takes Esther's son over to his own
apartment. Esther calls Bobby asking about her son,etc. Bobby
agrees to take care of her son at her house until she returns.

still in his pajamas, Bobby answers the door to find Esther's
parents standing there with their luggages in hand. Esther's
parents want to take her son back to Canada for a while. They
warn their daughter that Bobby's caring attitude toward her comes
with an underlying motive, but she disagrees with them.
Marco's team is assigned a new case of capturing some guy who
killed a teenager. Marco and his team arrive at the country side
where Joyce and Esther are now working to arrest the guy.
However, the guy's father, who is some sort of mayor of the small
little village, offers the police no information on his son's
whereabouts. Afterwards, Joyce, Esther, Marco and his team eat
"fan hup" while discussing the issue of equality
between men and women. Joyce believes that men and women should
be treated equally but Marco and his teammates all know for a
fact that disparity exists in life. To demonstrate this, each of
them showed the others how many pieces of chicken were in their
"fan hup" At the end, each of them start taking each
others chicken. (This part was pretty funny).
Esther, her son, and Bobby's photograph turns out to be a winning

funny.)

leaves. Her son is very depressed about leaving.
There is a birthday celebration for one of Marco's teammates. All
the female cops come to wish him a happy birthday, but in reality
they just want to ask Marco out on a date. Marco is annoyed by
all these women harassing him for a date. Joyce questions Marco
about his pick, but Marco tells her that she would be the last of
his pick.
Macro and his team arrive by the countryside where Joyce and
Esther are working to catch the mayor's son who was involved in a
murder case. The police force chases after the guy. During the
struggle, the guy hits Marco and he falls down the hill,
fracturing his leg. The guy continues to run but Esther and Joyce
captures him. When they return, the teammates discover that Marco
is missing so they turn to question the guy. The guy is unable to
give a definite answer on his whereabouts. As a result, the whole
police crew goes in search of Marco in the forest area. After a
brief search the police crew is ordered to return to the station
without finding Marco because it is getting dark. Joyce continues
the search for Marco, but finds him later.
Marco is going to be hospitalized for about 2 weeks. His
teammates as well as Joyce and Esther pays him a visit at the
hospital. The front headlines of the newspapers and the
television channels all report about the two police women success
of capturing the guy.
Esther goes shopping and purchases several new outfits as a way
of rewarding herself. Bobby sees Esther shopping, but does not
call out to her. Later on that night, they encounter each other
at the restaurant. Esther feels uncomfortable being around Bobby
so she eats quickly and leaves. Bobby chases after her calling
her name, but she continues to walk ignoring him. As a result,
Bobby changes tactics and starts yelling "the lady that is
wearing a blue t-shirt and black jeans, etc" to stop. Bobby
tells her that he wants her as a girlfriend. Esther responds by
kicking him in the chest and telling him that there are a lot of
nice girls out there for him.
The next day Bobby sends sushi over to Esther's office. Then, he
calls her and she tries to tell him that he should forget about
her. Bobby shows up at Esther's office bringing roses for her,
but she tells him to leave.
Joyce shows Bobby the different methods that people in movies use
to go after girls. The next day after Bobby picks Esther up he
gets a flat tire and it starts to rain. Therefore, Bobby decides
to use the method "Wong Hei" used in the series Food of
Love. His method fails because Esther does not carry the umbrella
out in the rain for Bobby. Esther calls a cab and leaves him in
the rain to change the flat tire. Bobby gets sick.
Episode 13
Esther brings everything that
Bobby has given her back to him and tells him to stop harassing
her. Joyce's mom finds out that Bobby likes Esther and she's
upset b/c Esther has an ex-husband and a son. (ie. She's not good
enough for Bobby)
Back at the police station, someone delivers flowers and Esther
thinks its Bobby again but its not. Joyce wants to visit Marco so
she gets his other teammates to go with her so she'll be
inconspicuous. However, no one has time to go but Joyce manages
to drag one of Marco's teammates, "Kwun Lo" to go. When
Marco sees them, he's like why are you guys visiting again? He
says jokingly to "Kwun Lo" that others might think
they're gay b/c he's visiting so much. "Kwun Lo" wants
to leave but Joyce is dragging onto him b/c she doesn't want to
be alone with Marco and Marco misinterprets this as Joyce liking
"Kwun Lo". After "Kwun Lo" leaves, Joyce
takes Marco out for a walk in his wheelchair. They play
basketball with his neighbors.
At the police station, Joyce calls "Kwun Lo" and his
other teammates think that Joyce likes him. Joyce gives him 2
movie tickets for driving her to Marco's house and he
misinterprets and thinks that Joyce indeed does like him. Marco's
leg gets better. He goes to a bar with his other 2 teammates and
Esther. They talk about Joyce and "Kwun Lo" and Marco
devises a plan to get Joyce and "Kwun Lo" together (he
doesn't know that Joyce likes him and not "Kwun Lo").
Marco wraps his leg up again when Joyce visits him. He gives her
a movie ticket and tells her to tell him what the movie was about
after she's seen the movie. Marco's dad overhears and tells Marco
that Joyce likes him. Marco laughs at this. At the movie theatre,
"Kwun Lo" sees Joyce sitting next to him. Joyce drags
him out of the theatre and finds out that Marco gave him the
ticket too. "Kwun Lo" tells her that he already has a
girlfriend. "Kwun Lo" figures out that she likes Marco.
Joyce threatens to beat him up if he tells Marco that she likes
him.
At the PTU police station, Joyce and Esther find out that they're
getting transferred back to Marco's team again. Joyce ignores
Marco when she sees him.
A dead body is found. The dead body is cut into pieces and
apparently it's a person who's had a sex change (upper body is
female, lower half is male---the person didn't finish undergoing
surgery yet.) The team goes out to eat steak but Joyce refuses to
go b/c Marco's going. At dinner, Marco insists that Joyce is
acting differently towards him.
Bobby hears on the news that Esther's housing area has no water
so he drags a few gallons of water for her. She hides when she
sees him. At night, she thinks about him and is very touched by
everything he's done for her.
The team goes to the dead person's house, hoping to find more
evidence. Esther is searching the kitchen and finds the head in
the freezer and screams loudly. She throws up in the bathroom.
Bobby finds out that Esther was scared and buys her all these
things to ease her fright and leaves it outside her door.
However, he leaves his umbrella behind. Esther sees him outside
in the rain when she looks out of her window. She calls him to
thank him and invites him out to dinner. Before Esther leaves for
dinner the next day, she gets a call from the hospital saying
that her husband was in a car accident.
Episode 14
Bobby waits for Esther at the
restaurant but she shows up late. They eat dinner and have a
really great time. Bobby even buys her flowers. When Esther gets
home she feels bad, and decides to bring her husband some clothes
and other accessories. She was planning on leaving the things
there without him seeing but bumps into him in the hallway.
Marco's team continues investigating the murder case. They find
out that the dead guy has a girlfriend and a boyfriend. Joyce and
"Kwun Lo" get paired up as a team. He drives her home
after work but Joyce realizes that she forgot her keys and goes
back to the police station for them. She runs into Marco. They
get a call from the dead person's doorman, claiming he has more
evidence so Joyce and Marco stop by. On the way home, they go out
for a midnight snack. Joyce is still angry at him so when he says
that he doesn't like the fruit "lau leen", she buys a
whole one and shoves it into his mouth. He ends up liking it and
even buys one home for his parents =)
Esther goes to visit her husband and finds out that he's still
wearing his wedding ring. He asks for another chance but Esther
leaves. At home, Esther thinks about her husband and their past.
When Bobby calls, asking her to go and see a movie, she rejects
him. Bobby is very sad.
Esther visits her husband again and finds out that he just left.
She sees him outside and tells him to go back to their house
since he has nowhere to stay (Esther is still indecisive at this
point about what she really wants to do). Bobby goes to find her
to ask her why she's been giving him the cold shoulder. Her
husband walks out of the house just then and Bobby leaves,
devastated.
At the police station, they're still investigating the case.
Joyce and Marco are the only ones there but "Kwun Lo"
walks in and drags Joyce out into the hall. He has a favor to ask
her. Marco peeks out and sees "Kwun Lo" with his arm
around her and he's kind of jealous.
Later, Marco and 2 of the other team members see "Kwun
Lo" and Joyce walking into a bridal shop. From the look on
his face, he appears to be jealous. They assume that Joyce is
marrying "Kwun Lo".
Marco sees "Kwun Lo" again the next day walking into
the same bridal shop, but with another woman this time. He gets
pissed and calls "Kwun Lo" out for a talk. "Kwun
Lo" tells him that the girl was his fiancée. He also spills
the beans and tells Marco that Joyce likes him. Marco is so
shocked that he spits his beer out when he hears this.
Episode 15
At the police station: Marco
approaches Joyce but stops when one of the other team members
jokingly goes to harass her telling her to arrange the best
dinner etc for "Kwun Lo" and her wedding. Esther kicks
the teammate out of his chair and tells him to stop bugging
Joyce.
The team discovers evidence which lead to the arrest of the pig
butcher that lived next door to the dead man. Apparently, the pig
butcher and the dead man brought some tickets for the equestrian
race and they're ticket was a winner, but the pig butcher never
received his winning half. Marco and two other teammates
questions the pig butcher while the other teammates search direct
evidence at the pig butcher's house that can prove he killed the
sex changed man. However, they come up empty handed when they
return to the police station.
Esther returns home looking rather tired so her husband offers to
massage her shoulder. She declines the offer saying she had
purchased a hand massager that works really well. Esther
questions him about his future and he tells her that he is in the
process of finding a job.
Joyce returns home to find Bobby sitting on the couch and
starring at the T.V., but not paying much attention to the soccer
game. Her younger sister is searching all over the house for her
book and Joyce sees that Bobby is sitting on it. This causes a
spark to go off in Joyce's head and she rushes back to the
butcher's apartment for a second search hoping that she missed
something in her first search. Joyce runs into Marco there who is
also looking for evidence. They find a small drop of the dead
guy's blood behind some cabinet. The team has enough evidence to
charge the pig butcher with first degree murder. The pig butcher
spills everything out to them. (why and how he killed the guy)
The team celebrates the solved case by going over to Marco's
parents house to eat dinner. Marco's mom has saved some food
behind for Joyce since she hasn't shown up yet. Marco's mom
offers the fruit "Lau Leen" for desert. Everyone
declines saying that Joyce is the only one who likes it.
"Kwun Lo" passes out his wedding invitations and the
team is shocked when they don't see Joyce's name on the
invitation. Just then "Kwun Lo" receives a page from
Joyce saying that she won't be able to make it due to some family
matters that she has to take care of. Marco appears kind of
depressed. Later on that night, he gets insomnia so he sits and
watches some TV while munching on potato chips. His dad wakes up
and sees him telling him it's because of Joyce.
Next day at the bridal shop: Joyce, "Kwun Lo" and his
future wife are waiting for the best man to show up. The best man
turns out to be Marco, but the minute that Joyce sees him, she
tries to hide. Marco, "Kwun Lo" and the bride awaits
for Joyce to put on her bridesmaid gown. The minute that Marco
sees her, his jaw drops and he keeps starring at her in awe. The
soon to be wedded couple agrees that Marco and Joyce are a
perfect match.
At the bar: "Kwun Lo" confesses to Joyce about telling
Marco that she likes him. Joyce is devastated.
At the police station: Joyce sees a girl give Marco 2 movie
tickets which Marco asked the girl to buy for him. Joyce is
really upset after seeing this so she tries to ignore him. Marco
chases after her to tell her he wants to see the movie with her,
but Joyce thinks he's only using her because the other girl is
unable to go see the movie with him. As a result, she yells back
at him.
After "Kwun Lo" wedding dinner, Marco is the only one
left to take Joyce home. When they get into his car, Marco tries
to explain that he has feeling for her and that he would like her
to be his girlfriend, but Joyce jumps out of the car not wanting
to hear. Marco then chases after her, kisses her, and carries her
swinging her around in a circle. ( This part is really romantic
or the so called turning point when they start going out)
Esther agrees to go to Ocean Park when her husband asks her. At
the park, her husband reminds her of the great past they had.
Joyce appears really happy when she returns home after her date
with Marco buying back duck for the family to eat. Bobby's

about his unhappiness. Bobby tells the family members to give him
any items that need repairing. His 2 other nieces tell him
"thanks but no thanks. the last time you fixed my disc men
it was worse off then before it was repaired" and his other
niece tells him " I had to get a whole new bookcase."

introduce him to. He wants to have a son by the age of 40.

out of her bedroom, she sees her husband talking on the phone,
but the minute he sees her he hangs up telling her that the
person called the wrong number. Esther becomes suspicious of the
phone call.
Marco's team arrives at the scene of the bank that has just been
burglarized. They are unable to find any traces of fingerprints
left behind by the robbers. When the team reaches the police

women that he use to know. She has done some investigation on
him. Esther spills everything on him. She tells him that she

reveal Esther's divorce to Bobby but decided against it when she
saw how happy he was. Her sisters question Joyce about all the
clothes she brought, but Joyce hides the truth from them saying
she brought the clothes for a friend. In reality, she had brought
all the dresses because of Marco. Joyce rushes into her bedroom
to try on the dresses and makeup, but one of her sisters, 4 Hay,
barges into her room to tell her there was a phone call for her.
4 Hay discovers a tissue with lipstick on it. Meanwhile out in
the living room, Joyce's mom and other sister are listening in on
the conversation she's having with Marco. After Joyce leaves the
house, 4 Hay walks out with the tissue to show her mom and other
sister. Everyone in the house is curious about who she's going
out with. Joyce's mom pushes the redial button on the phone to
hear one of Marco's teammates voice. Joyce's mom then questions

that the movie isn't funny at all whereas, his new girlfriend is
laughing her head off. Bobby then stuffs potato chips into her
mouth and leaves her at the movies.
While Bobby is driving he sees "Lip Sai Foon" (the guy
that he arrested 7 years ago) standing at the corner of the
street giving him this evil smile. When Bobby sees him his whole

captured "Lip Sai Foon".
Marco and his team arrest the bank robbers at this apartment, but
while he is there he discovers newspaper clippings of "Lip

When Joyce's 2 sisters take the kitten back out of their
apartment, the kitten runs up to the roof of their building.
"Lip Sai Foon" comes to the kitten's rescue and offers
to raise the kitten next door to where Joyce's family lives
because he has some construction to do for that apartment.
Joyce's mom walks over just then. Seeing that he is a
construction worker, she decides to ask "Lip Sai Foon"
over to fix their cabinets. "Lip Sai Foon" does not
accept the money that Joyce's mom offers hoping to make a good
impression on Joyce's mom and 2 sisters.

make fun of each other.
Esther cooks dinner for Bobby and he's feeling very happy. On his
way home, he stops by 7-Eleven and when he walks out, Lip Sai
Koon is leaning against his car. Lip Sai Koon wants revenge on
Bobby because Bobby put him in jail 7 years ago for 20 robberies
and an account of murder. However, he did not commit the murder
but was still charged for it. Therefore, he blames Bobby. They
exchange a few words and Lip Sai Koon leaves.
The next morning, Bobby sees Lip Sai Koon eating breakfast at his
sister-in-law's house. He freaks out and tells him to leave the
house immediately, telling his family that this was the guy who
he arrested 7 years ago. One of Joyce's younger sister, 4 Hay,

back. The guy is crazy and he's obsessed with Joyce's mom. He
takes out a knife but Lip Sai Koon rushes in and saves them so
their whole family thinks he's a good guy. Even Joyce's attitude
is softening. Bobby is very frustrated.
At home, Bobby sees "papers that you burn to the dead
people" all over his house. He gets very pissed of and pulls
some strings at the police station so that Lip Sai Koon is
questioned and made fun of. Lip Sai Koon gives bobby an evil

changed everything and that he really liked Joyce now. Marco
tells her that he feels really comfortable with Joyce.
Marco goes over Joyce's apartment to find her, but is greeted by
her mom and 2 younger sisters who question him about their
relationship. Her mom asks about marriage and reveals a good date
to get married. Discovering that Joyce's isn't home, he pages her
and leaves a message with her. Meanwhile, over at Esther's
apartment, the 2 females are drunk and "Lip Sai Foon"
walks into her apartment and captures them. During the middle of
the night, he somehow gets into Joyce's apartment and ties up her
mom and 2 younger sisters, pouring gasoline on them. Bobby comes
down later when he hears some banging noise to find them all tied
up and that Joyce, and Esther are in "Lip Sai Foon's "
hands.
At the police station, Marco and Bobby are in a state of panic
ordering everyone to find Joyce and Esther's whereabouts. They
are devastated that "Lip Sai Foon" took them as
hostages. Several hours have passed but there is no news of them.
Marco says that the only thing they can do is wait for "Lip
Sai Foon" to call. Marco and another policemen have
installed a phone device at Bobby's apartment awaiting for
"Lip Sai Foon" to call so that they can trace the call.
The phone rings early the next morning and when he first answers
the phone he hears Esther's voice but her voice is replaced by
"Lip Sai Foon" who tells him to go to some restaurant.
The police are unable to trace the short phone conversation.
Marco, Bobby and another teammate arrive at the restaurant to
answer his call, but "Lip Sai Foon" orders him to be at
some telephone booth in 10 minutes. Bobby yells that it is
impossible, but he tells him if he doesn't pick up by the 10th
ring then he is going to kill Esther. Bobby makes it to the
telephone booth in time, but all out of breathe. "Lip Sai
Foon" continues to give him more directions to follow
ordering to come alone. Meanwhile, Joyce and Esther have loosened
their strings and a fight starts among Joyce, Esther, and
"Lip Sai Foon", but Joyce and Esther gets knocked
unconscious. They are placed in some freezer while "Lip Sai
Foon" goes to meet Bobby.
During their meeting, "Lip Sai Foon" shoots Bobby in
the arm, but Marco arrives in time to save Bobby. The three of
them start fighting and Bobby kills "Lip Sai Foon" by
accident. Before his death, Bobby asks where he had hidden Esther
and Joyce, but his immediate response was that they will be with
him (meaning they will also die). Marco discovers some kind of
meat store stamp on him and narrows down the search. They know
that Esther and Joyce are being hidden in a freezer of some sort
but have not pinpointed the exact location. The police continue
their searches on all freezers and just then Bobby remembers a
fire trucks siren going off when "Lip Sai Foon" called
earlier. They have now discovered the exact location and are on
their way there. Meanwhile, Joyce and Esther are trying to keep
their mind off the cold by jogging, telling each other funny past
childhood stories, and playing games (the game show that zheng
zhi wai is a host of). Before they pass out, they tell each other
they miss their boyfriends.
The team arrives at the freezer where the 2 are kept. Marco takes
Joyce and warms her up by rubbing her, while Bobby is trying to
warm up Esther. Marco tells Joyce that he is going to marry her
and that he loves who she is. Joyce awakens hearing all that
Marco has said to her. Esther has not awaken yet. Bobby carries
her down several flights of stairs to take her to the hospital
but falls down the stairs with her. She tells Bobby that he
should tell her the romantic things that Marco said to Joyce.
(This part is really funny)
Bobby and Marco are at the church alter waiting for Esther and
Joyce to arrive, so that the wedding ceremony can take place.
They find out that the car bringing them has broken down, so
Marco and Bobby orders the whole police force to help push the
broken down car. When they arrive, they see Joyce and Esther
punching and hitting a thief. Bobby and Marco turn around to
leave, (they think that they will be their next victim if they do
anything wrong) but Joyce and Esther run after them.
