Brother Yuen. What's the situation?
It's ready
Get the car. OK
Here's today's paper
Will it be a wasted effort again?
Well, if only this were tomorrow's paper
we could find out what happens
Fly calling Centipede
A butterfly is picking up a car round the corner
3 more butterflies are coming down
They're on the move. Everyone stand by
Looks like we won't go empty-handed today
Hey boss, there're 2 cops
Damn it
Hold it. Let's play it by ear. Keep an eye on the butterflies
Get out of the car
You know what'ya doing?
What have I done?
Why are you backing into this space?
Sorry, I was in a hurry
You're not supposed to pull up here. This is a one-way street
Sorry, I couldn't see the sign
How could you miss such a huge sign?
Sorry. I won't do it again
No. Show me your license
I just got my license
All the more reason to teach you a lesson
Please let me off this time
Pleading will get you nowhere
It's hard to make a living. The fine is so high
I'll be in trouble if I let everybody off
Where's your license?
I got it. I'm a good driver
I just missed the sign
I was just careless. I won't do it again
They're screwing up the operation
Centipede calling Bee. Get rid of the 2 bugs
Show me your ID card
Please give me a chance
Just cooperate, and show me your license
Hey, Biggie. What?
Are you trying to mess with me?
What's your problem, man?
You have an attitude problem. So?
I don't like it
What're you gonna do?
We could never see eye to eye
I had enough with you
Want to beat you up!
What's going on here?
I'll drive away immediately. Please don't give me a ticket
OK. I'll let you off just this once
Thank you, sir
What's in that bag?
I say, what's in that bag?
Hoi
Cricket, get over here and help us
Get on the car
Let's go
Hey, man
Help me
Calling Control
Go get 'em
Police. Move
There's a gunfight on Kong Ming Street
There are roughly 10 people on both sides
Both parties fired shots. They are all armed
We need back up
Hop on
Boss
Breaking news:
While following a traffic accident
our news team chanced upon a police gunfight
The suspects escaped in a hijacked ambulance
Our team filmed a policeman with his hands up
begging for mercy as a suspect pointed a gun to his head
This has caused a public uproar
Legislators challenged the police's ability to protect citizens
I am flabbergasted
Is Hong Kong still a safe place?
What will befall us citizens if the cops capitulate?
The Police Commissioner and Security Chief should come forth
They have to answer to the Legislative Council
URGENT MEETING!
The Legislative Council
is demanding an explanation
That's how serious it is
What's your take, Cho?
Hong Kong is basically still a safe city
Our crime rate is still low compared to other cities
We have a PERFECT SYSTEM
Bullshit. Jim
According to our past experience
we can nail the target in a week
We have a 79.8% success rate
There's no way they can get away
Koh
All frontline police shall join the hunt
We'll make a plead on television
for public support
Eric
We must act fast
Intel is crucial in this case
And the lady at the back?
Image matters most
We have to put on a show. An eye for an eye
This is the age of the media
The media got us, now we get back at them
You guys get what I mean?
Rebecca
Sorry Sir
Yes, we do need a good show
You're supporting me, or just agreeing with me?
Don't you believe in yourself?
How's your dad?
You know what kind of person I am
It's either black or white. Simple as that
That's how we were trained too
But relationship is not all black & white
Rebecca!
Sorry, sir. I'll remember to knock next time
I came in to ask if Fong is getting better
After all, we're old-time colleagues
I will nail those bastards
Boss, OCB has taken over the case
We'll nail those bastards alright
Now we're really in deep shit
I'm starving. Where can I get a bite?
Sweet potatoes
I have a weak stomach
How much is it?
$20
Boss, your phone is ringing
Inspector Cheung is busy
Please hold
It's Madam Fong from OCB
Hello?
You didn't get the low-down from the informer?
But my men sent everything to you
I'll check again and get back to you. Bye
Man
Make sure Cheung stays off the case
Send a memo to his superior
If he messes up our plans, he'll take all the blame
Yes, Madam
That's it
Got it
Boss, we got something
Everyone, get in the car
Let's go
Boss, do we have to notify
Just be careful
Ma'am, we're cops on duty. Please go back inside
So many strangers these days
The incense was just lit. They haven't been gone for long
There must be another hideout somewhere. Check up on nearby real estate agents
See if the suspects have moved in
Yes, Sir
Sorry, Sir
I have a weak stomach
Have any Chinese men with a Mainland accent
rented two apartments in a row around here?
Let me check
No
Please contact us if you get any information
Sure. Thanks a lot
If I were those bastards, I'd pick this place to hideout
Shall we snoop around here?
Didn't you hear what I said? I said "if"
Get the car
Boss, they're not sure where the suspects are
What makes you think they'll be sure?
Use your brain
I'll go back and make more inquiries
Thanks so much. Don't bother
Shun, how're things at your end?
Keep searching
You should take it easy
You only have 2 years before retirement, unlike me
Well, you shouldn't see it this way
I've been waiting for a hot case since I joined the force
Yuen, we did a good show but got no money
We can't keep hiding out like this
Tiger's dead. We can't let him die in vain
I have an idea
The police are looking for us
They won't expect us committing a heist
The most dangerous time is also the safest
Then when are we gonna do it?
Now
Tiger's death means we gotta alter our plan a bit
Long, go get us a vehicle
No luck with the last 6 apartments. 9C's the last one
Boss, do we have to inform OCB?
Let some of our men sniff out the janitors
Madam Fong
It's Cheung
I know I'm off the case, but I got wind
the suspects might be in the vicinity
Oh, what a coincidence
Of course I won't take any action
Yes
OK
Sir
We must take action whether they're inside or not
At least we'll do a good show for the media
Arresting the bandits is not our only objective
We also have to stage a good show for 6 million citizens
It's your idea, Rebecca. Don't let us down
Yes, sir
Eric, give her your utmost support
Yes, Sir
Say it
Intel confirmed they're in the building
But CID is stepping on our toes again
Just deal with the situation
Yes, Sir
Those CID guys are onto something
I got leads
Boss
4 people have gone into 9C
Get ready
They're taking action
Fall in
Our mission is to redeem police reputation
and to demonstrate
Hong Kong police can bring bad guys to justice
All citizens will see us in action on TV
We will regain their confidence
Every Block IC officer will go into action
with a pinhole camera attached to them
FMCU
The camera will start operation the moment..
you go inside
Be careful, everyone
Any question?
No, sir
ETD 5 minutes
Yes, sir
Get down
Go
Police. Freeze
Get down
What's the situation?
Stay down
Suspect sighted. Guard the entrance. Inform your boss
Yes, sir
Yuen, the cops are here
Meet us on the 8th floor
Got it
Split
OK
The criminals just crossed fire with CID
What the hell are you doing?
Madam, we just ran into the suspects
We'll form a cordon until you arrive
Cheung
Are you here yet?
I just got to the 8th floor
Is it you, Yuen?
Stay where you are
Let's split up
Xin will join you and Chung's following me
Stay in touch and look out for each other
Escape when you have the chance
We'll meet up once we're out of here
OK
Let's go
What's going on?
Did we leak our whereabouts?
Put away the gun. Let's run
Everyone alright? Answer me
Hoi, you're OK?
I'm fine
The bastards haven't cleared out yet
Cheung, It's Rebecca. Are you OK?
There was a 'minor' explosion on the 9th floor. No officer was harmed
Stay away, police
Stay inside
Police found out the bandits' hide out
and surrounded the building
An explosion broke out on the 9th floor
The police has not yet issued any statement
We'll bring you the latest developments
Madam, Sir
All our forces are geared up for action
The monitors above will detect everything
Including wireless communication
Suspects may use walkie-talkies
Yes, madam
Tell PTU to prepare a cordon and evacuate residents
Prepare cordon
Heard what I said? Want me to repeat it?
Yes, sir
I got it, sir
Yes, sir. Thank you, sir
What is it?
What is it? Tell me
It's nothing. We're just taking you to a safe place
A large deployment of police
and PTU squadron has entered the building
Police cars and a fire engine are standing by
Madam
Sir, this is Grace, CI from PPRB
Superintendent Yeung from CSP
Morning, sir
What's the media turnout?
3 TV channels, 3 radio stations, 18 papers and magazines
5 newswires
Around 80 reporters in total
I've drafted some points for the press release
OK
You can have it in 10 minutes
What about image of our grand arrival?
The photos are ready
The coolest ones are being digitally retouched
I also got a movie director to edit the footage
Then we'll add music and sound effects
It'll deliver the punch!
Good! Hurry up and give it to the media
Yes, madam
Tell the media..
I'll feed them news every half-hour
Yes, madam
From the footage released by the police
we can see forces setting out on their mission
A black-out
It must be the police
Let's take the stairs
Police, Danger, Evacuate immediately
Take your wallets and ID cards
I'll notify residents on the 10th floor
PTU is onto it
Come down with your men
But I think the suspects, Now
Yes, madam
Check every residential unit. Make an orderly evacuation
Yes, sir
Dad, the cops told us to stay inside
I've lived long enough to know cops are idiots
Hurry up. There's nobody out there
Why don't you listen to the police?
You're cops?
Cops don't point a gun at a civilian's head
The boy's smarter than his dad
My girl
Don't kill my daughter! She's Christian
What's that got to do with it?
I dunno. I'm just talking off my head
My girl. Sister
Next time, I won't punch the pillow
We wouldn't wind up like this if it weren't for you
Hey, show your old man some respect
We don't want to hurt anyone
We just need to take refuge here for a while
How can I cooperate with you?
Turn on the TV, watch the breaking news
Don't move around
Chung, put away your gun
Police has begun to evacuate the residents
Let's check other news
You must evacuate the building
Bring your ID cards and follow me
How do you rate the police evacuation?
Excellent
They arrived within 15 minutes
and followed the right procedures
Were you scared?
Not at all. The police were by our side
Were they courteous?
The residents are evacuating orderly
They were mostly from the 1st and 2nd floors
Sources indicate
police are bugging the suspects
There're 4 of them, split into pairs
We'll bring you the latest news
Now back to the newsroom
Take it easy. There's no rush
Take them down
Didn't you hear the news?
Stay indoors and wait for police evacuation
What? I'm dumping the garbage
Boss, he has hearing problems
Seen anyone walk pass?
Haven't seen Annie for a while
Ask him where he lives and take him home
Boss, but we had an order from madam
Where do you live, sir?
Madam, the PTU Commander reports back
The gunshot came from the 9th floor
Shall we ask PTU to go up and take a look?
Cheung
Madam? We had a face off with 2 suspects on the 9th floor
Didn't you hear me? Must I repeat myself?
Take residents down the middle stairway
Now. We're almost there
Let's talk after this
Call Cheung's boss. Let him get his ass fried
Now?
Sorry, sir
You asked if we need to tell PTU to go up?
No need
Yes, madam
Command post out to PTU. Stay put
Continue evacuating 7th floor residents
Two targets on ninth floor
Yuen, we clashed with the cops on the 9th floor
Don't use our walkie-talkies. It's not safe
Remember this number. Switch SIM cards from time to time
We're in 8E
Stay in touch and find an escape route
Sure
I think they turned off their walkie-talkies
So what
How about the mobile network?
But there're many networks
Each base station handles multiple phone lines
And they are digital
What's your point?
Best we can do is to find out which numbers are in use
To pin them down, we need their passwords
Bring me 2 coffees
Yes, madam
We want all numbers coming out of this building
from the last time they used their walkie-talkies
Tell Intel to stay on this
Yes, madam
But there're loads of calls
Of course. Just deploy more staff
Ever watched a telethon? There're lots of hotlines
Yes, sir
Answer the call
Answer it
Hello?
What's taking you so long?
It's Aunt Jenny
I just saw your home on TV
Are the kids OK?
None of your bloody business
I've tried my best to cooperate
Good
Stand right there
Stay where you are
All freeze
Get down
Yuen, it's Long
Get inside
Move
Tell PTU to seal off the 8th floor completely
All tenants must stay in their apartments
Yes, sir
Check out all the residents on that floor
I want an exact head count
Yes, madam
Four targets on eighth floor
Another two upstairs
Yuen, we rescued the wrong guy
It's all their fault. They dragged us into this shit
Chung
Superintendent, Assistant Commissioner is on the phone
Patch him through
CK, it's Eric here
The feedback is so far so good
The media is so keen to know how things are in there
We need to show them some new stuff
Rebecca will arrange that
We got great footage of officers
combating suspects
You have my word for it. THIS IS A GREAT SHOW
I'll be glued to the TV
Good-bye. Sir
They blew PTU to bits. How can we broadcast this?
We've fixed it on the editing table
We'll only show officers firing at the suspects
and forcing them into an apartment
That's all
Will you say something to the press?
Not right now
Then I'll speak
Are you Chun?
If I hadn't come to the rescue, you'd be
Who are you guys?
Who cares?
We're on the same boat
If you want to call the shots
get out now
There're at least 1,000 cops closing in on us
Wang
What's your name?
I'm Yuen. He's Chung
We have 2 more pals outside
So what's your 'line of work'?
Getting paid to finish jobs for people
I'm Yip
Dad
We're on the same boat alright
This is the latest newsreel released by the police
PTU officers are chasing the suspects
forcing them to retreat to an apartment
Police spokesperson has issued a statement:
We tracked down the suspects and took action
Police casualty is minimal. We are in control
We have pinned down their exact hideout
We're confident we can apprehend the criminals
We'll bring you the latest development
This is a psychological battle
Can you upload it onto the web?
Sure. My son is a computer wiz kid
I won't assist bad guys
I'll nail those bastards
Let's split up
Unit 8E belongs to a single-parent family
Mr. Yip is a cab driver
with 2 kids
They should be in the apartment
Have you checked their phone number?
We called but no one is answering
They don't want to talk
Tell SDU to get ready
Yes, madam
Madam
Switch to the news channel. Yes, madam
The media received
these pictures on the web
They show PTU defeated by the bandits
This contradicts the police statement earlier
Presumably, it's the suspects' response to the broadcast
The police have not issued any statements yet
We'll keep you informed on any new developments
Superintendent, it's for you
Find out which server they're using. Hack into their system
Yes, madam
OK
People out there are calling us liars
Hello
The talk show host wants to speak
to the person in charge
I'll talk to him
Good morning, this is Grace
Cut the crap
The police has fed bogus news to the public
What's your explanation?
Let's not argue over a few blurry pictures
The PTU officers in the film are being interviewed
The truth will be out soon
If you have other comments, please call me
I'm Grace from PPRB. Thank you
Contact the reporters we know
Yes, madam
Good
It's still buzzing out there. I'll divert their attention
We've hacked into their computer
Someone's hacked in
Hello
I'm the Deputy Commander of this operation
I'd like a word with the person in charge
Miss Commander, I'm your man
I'm Deputy Commander Rebecca Fong
You must know the situation out there
We have the place surrounded
There's no use resisting
Come on out
Do you mind if I call you Rebecca?
Not at all
List your demands, but first, let the hostages go
You look good on camera
Women officers are seldom this pretty
There must be swarms
of male colleagues after you
Thanks. What do you look like?
I'm ugly
But I have one up on you
I don't tell lies
Do pretty babes all tell lies?
We just speak from different channels
I don't mind that at all. I like pretty girls. So long
Get me back in
They're offline
Jackie is HK police force's spokesperson
We're grateful he's here to voice his support
Hi everybody
I stopped shooting today
I can't believe you're still doing homework
Just in case I survive today
Damn it, Your textbooks give me a headache
Wang
Stop it, Wang
He's starving
Yip
You know how to cook?
Of course
Cook something for 7 people
No problem
Go back to your homework
Sit down
Got an electric shock
Little girl, how do you plug this in?
How come you unplugged the wire?
Can you cook?
Usually Big Sis and I do the cooking
Why don't YOU do it?
Allow me
Let me make a dish or two
I'm such a glutton
Most of the money I make goes to food and booze
And you?
I thought of opening my own restaurant
Don't believe me?
I had the same thought
They must be deploying their forces
My mind is especially clear when I'm cooking
That's the best we could do
It's destiny that we can dine at the same table
Got any booze? Sure
I couldn't bring myself to open it before
But this is a special occasion
Dinner time, kids
"Uncle killer" and "uncle bandit" prepared it
You know?
Wait a minute
Let's upload this for the press
Nice food!
They too know how to put on a great show
Trying to show the hostages are not mistreated
Communications technology has its pros and cons
We'll break for lunch too
Get the best lunch box for everyone
Make sure the reporters get their share too
Yes, madam
I never broke for lunch during police operations
We only eat when it's over
This is not just an operation
I want to show not only bandits
and hostages have to eat
Cops are human. They get hungry too
You get it?
Yes, madam
Madam, SDU standing by
Wait for the order
What's the situation?
Interviews with folks of officers killed in action will be aired soon
We're still filming injured officers
Interview the officer who raised his hands
Yes, madam
Why bring him back?
We can make him a hero by manipulating the media
Let's take a break
Come on, Chun and Wang
Let's drink to our chance meeting
Cheers
Who knows what will befall us? Let's drink
I don't drink with thieves
You're not afraid to die?
I'll thrash you
Grow up to be a cop and catch bad guys
I wanted to be a cop when I was young
Let's talk again if we survive today
After the bandits uploaded footage of their lunch
Police has responded with similar action
Here we have the police's lunch box
Chicken, pork, duck's egg.. what a feast!
It's allegedly the best staff meal police ever provided
Even reporters got a share
My son wanted to be a cop since he's young
As a kid, he even saluted policemen on the street
He's only 21, and now he's gone forever
We already bought our own apartment
We even ordered the wedding gown
But still, I'm so proud of him
I'm a police officer too
The robbers ran amok on the street with an AK
I don't even know where I got shot
I just felt severe pain and passed out
When I woke up this morning
the doctor said my leg had to be amputated
What have I done wrong?
I never broke any police code
We're never asked
to take unnecessary risks
We're never meant to be martyrs
I knew that if I hadn't raised my hands then
those robbers would have killed me for sure
But I have a duty to look after my wife
and to bring up my son
I have a clear conscience in this matter
Even if I had the choice, I'd still have done the same thing
I did nothing wrong
If anything happens to him
what will we do?
Get to work
Your pretty commander
must have more tricks up her sleeve
I guess SDU is moving in
What are your plans?
Hey kiddo, log-on to the Internet
There's no more rice
I'll look into it
We're cops. Cops
Leave the building. We're moving in
Boss, should we go?
I'll nail those bastards
Madam, the suspects are online again.
Patch me through
Rebecca, having lunch?
Got no appetite until I've arrested you
Are you full?
Yes
Eating is good for your body
How thoughtful of you
One person's decision could hurt many people
Don't you understand?
I do. I know you're about to take action
Go ahead. We're ready
The Yip's are innocent
Listen up
Only bandits would hurt hostages. Not police
Say it
Yuen, SDU is here
Someone's crawling out of the 8th floor
We just saw a man falling out of the window
He's luck for being tided and didn't fall
Dad
Is he the tenant?
You want all Hong Kong to watch him die?
Assault team, on your marks
Madam, SDU ready
Hold it
Reporters have their cameras ready
Tell SDU to retreat
SDU has retreated. Do you hear me?
SDU has retreated
Beware of sniper
Don't worry. We're on live TV
Target in sight
I'm sorry
I won't do it again
I'm back
I won't, I promise
I made a mistake
It's great working with you
Nothing we can't sort out if you surrender
No
I'd love to see you, but not in this fashion
In what fashion? Face down, as a stiff?
You'll see
Just surrender. It's simpler
OK
Yuen.
I have an idea
Call SDU Action
They're fortified. It endangers SDU and the hostages
They're planning to make an exit
How?
Where there's a will, there's a way
Some kinda instinct? I don't accept it
I need your support, not your acceptance
OK.
Tell SDU to get ready for action
Yes, madam
Freeze. Stay where you are
Freeze! Watch out! Grenades!
Stand there
Watch out. Grenades
Freeze
Stand there
Hostages coming out of 3 units on the 8th floor
Grenades are attached onto them
I knew it
Get Bravo team to cover them
Yes, madam
Don't be afraid. Stay calm
Police! Freeze!
Police. Freeze
2 more groups of hostages in sight
There're grenades. Request backup
Any SDU on the 8th floor?
No, madam
Where's the Alpha Team?
They're on the ground floor
Tell them to go up
Go have a look
Police. Freeze
I'm telling you to freeze
Let's go
Don't hang up. Keep this line open
Go!
You go first. I'll wait for them
OK
See you down there
Everything OK?
Fine
Cheong Wai Street. 4 p.m.
All hell will break loose if there's an explosion
Alpha Team opened fire on 4 suspects
3 dead. One fled.
We'll secure the premise
They didn't make it
There're bombs in units A6
And C3
And in D4 as well
3 bombs have been discovered on the 8 floor, Alpha Team is moving out
I'm a civilian
We've been had
I'm Yip
We had to come down or the grenades would go off
They're moving corpses of suspects and injured officers
CID agents came down with the bandits' corpses
None of the grenades attached went off
Yet there're multiple explosions on the 8th floor
They won't make it. Let's get out of here
Looks like you're all prepared
We're pros
Wherever we hide, we have an escape route
Just like you plan your exit before making a hit
Right?
My associate Wang is from my hometown
I promised to attend
his son's birthday banquet after this
I never get too close to my partners
Cheung
Madam
Cheung
This is yours
It's too late. I was gonna do it today
Where's Cheung?
Where's your boss?
He's still up there
He just won't get it
Hurry up. You go first. I'll cover for you
Rebecca, can we tell the media yet?
Yes. This is the most crucial moment in our show
You do the talking then
OK
You seriously want me to do it?
Every MC has a script to follow
You too planned to make a move today?
Any day will do. Armored cars come by everyday
Cops will be after you everyday
We're not the same as you lot
If we miss the boat, it's hard to find another chance
Why don't you become a robber instead?
Why don't you become a killer?
Ever thought of becoming a cop?
I gotta give you your dues
Why aren't you releasing the information?
Is the police trying to hide something?
This is the first ever collaboration between police and media
Such a degree of transparency has never been achieved before
Officer, if you move down any further
I'll take you out
You're a robber. Of course I have to catch you
We can't wait any longer
Chun, it's done
We have own destinies
You go your way, we'll go ours
He won't be able to get down
Other cops are on their way
I just surveyed the premise
4 suspects have been killed in the crossfire
3 of our officers have been injured
Casualty is minimum thanks to careful planning
Is this high-profile operation a success?
It's a great success as of this moment
Who's in charge?
Set off the bomb
There're 6. Where are the other 2?
OK
Another explosion? Isn't the crime scene secured?
Sorry, this is an unexpected situation
We'll make a public announcement later
Bravo Team found a hole at the bottom of the shaft
Sir
Dispatch to MCU
Send
The cop is badly wounded. When would the ambulance arrive?
Rebecca Fong
Freeze
You won't get away
You're even prettier in the flesh
I get that a lot
You're a bit of an eyesore
What kind of guy is your type?
I don't have a boyfriend
How 'bout a robber like you?
I'm single too
Keep driving
He's really a dutiful cop
But too rash
The walkie-talkie
You can't get away
Command Post to Everybody
The hijacked van turned out of Ming Tak Street
It's heading to Fu Hoi Street
So many people are watching
Say hello
Go to Cheong Wai Street
Just turn yourself in
This is the best ending for you and me
You mean me being locked up?
You have a choice?
Yeah, whatever
I can't see the way
Don't stop
It's not my fault
I did my best to cooperate
Let's go
Attention all units. The suspect is holding Fong hostage
Be careful. Don't fire without order
Police! Watch out!
Go, go away!
Block the crowd!
Don't come out!
Watch the door!
What do you want? The show's over
This is a show for you?
From the moment you pointed a gun at my colleague
every part of our operation has been a show
I'm the bad guy. How 'bout you?
I'm the director of the show
You can't
Calling backup to Cheong Wa Street!
Don't look, Police Investigation!
Get away!
Why don't you raise your hands?
The show must go on
If I could choose
I'd cast you as my leading lady
Madam, I'm Inspector Cheung
You're the hero now
I'll schedule
a press conference in an hour
Bring Cheung along. He will play the hero
I'll pep-talk him so he won't run off his mouth
The Police announced..
