Lord of Shanghai
Season 1 Episode 1 - Episode 1
In the 1930s, a new government is formed in Shanghai, where several foreign powers carve out for themselves sovereign "concessions". In the French Concession, the big three tycoons in Shanghai, KIU NGO-TIN, CHAK KAM-TONG and KUNG SIU-SHAN, jointly establish a monopoly, Sam Heng Company, on the opium trade, gaining dominant control over the area. SHUN-KIT, an opium addict, is caught red-handed stealing some opium and suffers severe injuries after a bouncer called SCARFACE savagely beats him up, following which SHUK-KIT's father, KAI-WAH, is stabbed to death while trying to save his own son. In the wake of this, the students who are protesting against drug abuse and opium trading also join the conflict, during which they even set fire to burn the opium. Having heard this, NGO-TIN not only decides not to pursue the liability for the damage, but also orders to release the student protesters. KAM-TONG is the first Chinese Chief Inspector in the French Concession, and he is so arrogant that he does not even show much respect to their Captain, FIORI. KAM-TONG takes SCARFACE, one of SIU-SHAN's henchmen, into custody, which exacerbates SIU-SHAN's discontent. Endeavoring to address the conflict between KAM-TONG and SIU-SHAN and pour oil on trouble waters, NGO-TIN has been racking his brains all day. After NGO-TIN wakes up, his wife CHO YUET-LAN lights the opium pipe for him. However, NGO-TIN recalls that he was blamed by SAU-LIN while paying tribute to the late KAI-WAH, and immediately he puts down the pipe. Meanwhile, the cotton mill of Lai's family needs a loan, so LAI SIU-HONG intends to borrow money from the bank, without knowing that his father KWOK-TUNG has already borrowed money from NGO-TIN. Therefore, SIU-HONG nurses a grievance against his father for associating with gangsters. With NGO-TIN asking LAU MEI-KAM for a favor, MEI-KAM goes to question SIU-SHAN whether he is about to cross KAM-TONG, reminding him that they should not go up against each other as the three of them have joined forces to battle their way up to the top of the social ladders...

NGO-TIN discovers that CHUN-NGOK has more than one hundred boxes of opium to be shipped north, but KAM-TONG points out that it's impossible for them to contend with the whole army because Xuzhou is Commander CHOW's territory. While receiving FIORI in Paramount, KAM-TONG is enticed by YEE-HUNG's singing. KAM-TONG raises that he wants to go to Hangzhou to attend a meeting, so NGO-TIN goes to have a word with KAM-TONG.

Exchanging fire with CHUN-NGOK and his team, NGO-TIN comes across another troop, on top of which he even catches a glimpse of SIU-SHAN. With KWAI-SENG throwing a celebration party, NGO-TIN accidentally bursts into KWAI-SENG's bedroom at night; whereas KAM-TONG cannot help flying into a rage after seeing NGO-TIN walk out from KWAI-SENG's bedroom upon his return.
