    Welcome to Lee's Detective Agency.
[00:03] ---
    We accept every manner of requests
[00:05] ---
    and will do our best to meet your needs
[00:06] ---
    in goods delivery, pickup,
[00:07] ---
    infiltration, investigation,
[00:08] ---
    arbitration, and conflict resolution.
[00:09] ---
    We can solve anything in Lungmen.
[00:13] ---
    And certainly,
[00:14] ---
    except for detective work
[00:16] ---
    because that's police business...
[00:19] ---
    Please don't expect this
    to be a detective show.
[00:46] ---
    Illuminating street lamps.
[00:51] ---
    Lit up the city.
[00:57] ---
    Criss-crossing neons,
[01:02] ---
    and I begin to see.
[01:06] ---
    The day just ended for someone.
[01:11] ---
    And the day just started for somebody.
[01:17] ---
    In empty streets I walked about
[01:22] ---
    Confessing my boredom out loud.
[01:28] ---
    I wanna keep feeling it
[01:29] ---
    But you won't forget about this
[01:34] ---
    Knock Three Times, before requesting.
[01:38] ---
    I wanna keep touching it
[01:40] ---
    Trouble's no longer a thing
[01:44] ---
    When a future
[01:47] ---
    You just waved to me.
[02:02] ---
    A Cup of Tequila
[02:20] ---
    This is a sculpture of a beaker.
[02:23] ---
    A beaker is already a sculpture.
[02:25] ---
    Why would you make a
    sculpture of a sculpture?
[02:28] ---
    Well, you can place it
    next to your work bench.
[02:30] ---
    Make things look artsy.
[02:38] ---
    What do you think?
[02:38] ---
    This gift's from me.
[02:42] ---
    This is a toy for kids.
[02:45] ---
    That's actually lots of fun.
[02:53] ---
    I'm an adult. Can you at
    least give me something new?
[02:57] ---
    We did give you different presents this year.
[02:59] ---
    This is so boring.
[03:09] ---
    Where are you going?
[03:10] ---
    We... we received a request.
[03:12] ---
    Can I go?
[03:14] ---
    No. The place is for adults only.
[03:18] ---
    I'm an adult today!
[03:31] ---
    Let's start decorating.
[03:38] ---
    Since you're an adult...
[03:41] ---
    ...if I can't make it out on my own, you'll
    carry me back to the agency office.
[03:44] ---
    Roger that.
[04:12] ---
    This isn't for you.
[04:13] ---
    You'll just get milk.
[04:15] ---
    Lee...
[04:16] ---
    ...when did you start letting kids tag along?
[04:19] ---
    I'M NOT A...
[04:20] ---
    Adults are talking. Play somewhere else, boy.
[04:24] ---
    WHAT?!
[04:28] ---
    I'll go look around.
[04:33] ---
    I thought you'd come alone today, Lee.
[04:36] ---
    Lee's Detective Agency might
    be able to help you out...
[04:39] ---
    ...but you did promise me
    intel about the Cat Mafia.
[04:46] ---
    Intel?
[04:48] ---
    We can hardly save our own skins right now.
[04:53] ---
    We can handle that sum of money for you...
[04:56] ---
    ...that's open to discussion.
[04:58] ---
    But don't push your luck.
[05:09] ---
    The Cat Mafia is growing bolder by the day.
[05:14] ---
    I don't even know where
    these strays come from.
[05:22] ---
    I haven't even heard about
    them until recently.
[05:27] ---
    Well...
[05:36] ---
    ...the Cat Mafia was around
    during the Rat King's time...
[05:40] ---
    ...but that was a while ago. And
    then they suddenly vanished.
[05:42] ---
    This new Cat Mafia...
[05:43] ---
    ...are busy with some secret
    pharmaceutical trade.
[05:46] ---
    They're into other shady businesses as well.
[05:51] ---
    This Cat Mafia is nothing
    like the one we knew.
[06:04] ---
    You're back, boy.
[06:07] ---
    I'm not a boy.
[06:10] ---
    Well then, can you drink?
[06:16] ---
    HAH, I KNEW IT! You're just a boy.
[07:17] ---
    Happy birthday!
[08:03] ---
    I'll teach that brat a real lesson next time.
[08:16] ---
    Next time, don't push yourself so hard.
[08:20] ---
    It's his birthday. The
    boy thought he grew up.
[08:31] ---
    Drinking and business should be
    kept far away from each other.
[08:58] ---
    You have a hangover.
[09:00] ---
    My head hurts.
[09:03] ---
    Happy birthday!
[09:10] ---
    Did I forget something?
[09:55] ---
    Lee's D.A has been charged
    with the safekeeping
[09:56] ---
    of a secret gold card
    for Mr. Meng the banker.
[09:58] ---
    In return, Mr. Meng shall provide intel
[10:00] ---
    about the Cat Mafia to Lee's D.A.
[10:02] ---
    Both parties shall abide by
    the principles of voluntarism,
[10:04] ---
    partnership, and good faith,
[10:06] ---
    and observe strict confidentiality
    over this matter.
[10:07] ---
    Ignore the useless nonsense.
[10:08] ---
    Now for the important stuff:
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AAK!
[10:12] ---
    To be continued...
