Don't let Grouchy Face see you like this later.

Time to eat, buddies!

Food is here finally...

- Good morning. - Good morning...

Tommy, about the Fung Nin Road case...

Have you submitted the claim for informant expenses?

I'll do it today.

Do it quickly or they won't give us information.

OK.

You've ordered so much again. Management is already complaining...

that you guys always exceed budget.

Whoever orders, pays.

You're the one who ordered everything.

I'll pay. No big deal.

Here comes Boss.

Boss...

Sorry, sir.

Have some tea.

Sun, check with Kingman if he has received news that Rat is here.

Kingman... have you received it?

You watched soccer all night again?

Don't worry, everything is fine. I'll handle it.

Sun, Fai Kei, Rat has entered Yu King Square.

Copy that.

Rat has chosen the third hole.

Every unit in this building has front and back doors.

Once we're certain which unit it is...

Tommy, Chi, Lang Mui and I will take the front door.

Sun, Dai Mai and Fai Kei, the back door.

Listen out for the walkie-talkie signals. One for standby, three for action.

Are you sure this is the one?

Do they have any weapons upstairs?

No.

Take him to the car.

Be careful, everyone.

Police! Don't move!

Sun!

Three is for action.

Are you deaf?

- Sorry, sir. - What the hell! Sorry?

I'm asking you a question!

Answer my question!

I'm asking, are you deaf?

- I'm not deaf. - What did you tell me at breakfast?

You said you'd handle it! Is this how?

This is not the first time.

You fall asleep every time you're on a mission with me.

I've always said if there's an operation the next morning...

don't stay up late and don't fall asleep!

You're so sloppy. You like watching soccer, huh?

I'll get you transferred right away.

- It's just a small mistake... - It's not your call!

Go. Go, now!

Where are you going?

- To get medication for Sun. - Thanks. Go back to work...

Attention, all units.

Prisoner Cheung Yat Tung has been hijacked...

at San Wan Road by three armed men...

in a black Honda, plate number NA558.

They're heading towards Yuen Long.

You were very harsh just now.

All of you are under me. No harm must come to any of you.

Go get an X-ray.

I'm fine.

I've been waiting for an opportunity like this for over twenty years.

I didn't expect to get it at this age.

When I was shot, I could only think of my family.

You'll keep it a secret, right?

My lips are sealed.

If we get this done right today, you may get promoted.

Then you'd better write me a good report.

Study hard and take the exam.

Are you happy with just some stripes on the shoulder?

You ought to get some stars as well.

I hate to study. Furthermore, I never want to be Chief.

That's true. Chief doesn't normally look as good as you do.

You're nuts.

After work, I just want to go home for dinner.

It's NA558.

Dispatch, this is Sergeant Tong of Yuen Long Team A.

I'm at Tai Chuen Kiu Road in Yuen Long.

I've spotted what looks like the getaway vehicle that hijacked Cheung Yat Tung.

Plate number CE2923.

I repeat, CE2923.

I'm tailing it now.

I'll report again when the car stops. Over.

Calm down, Sun.

Stop.

Have we been discovered? Do we stop?

Stop.

Now what?

Ram him.

Fay, what do we do now?

Stop him. Don't let him go to crowded places.

He's going to shoot!

Ram into him!

- We'll flip! - Do it!

Sun...

Hang in there, Sun.

Yee...!

Linda, Cheung Yat Tung has regained consciousness.

Set him a court date right away.

On 20 December 2007, three armed men robbed a jewellery shop...

and killed a security guard.

Police killed two of them as they were running away.

Cheung Yat Tung escaped but was captured three days later.

The police found Cheung's blood at the scene.

That blood sample is the only evidence...

that Cheung was involved in the robbery and had committed murder.

Go Mun is the advising counsel for the case.

On 16 February 2008, on his way to court, Cheung was abducted...

by three of his accomplices.

That same day, Officers Tong Fay and Kok Yew Sun...

nabbed him once again.

In the process...

Tong Fay killed Go Mun's daughter by accident.

Commissioner, should Go Mun still be assigned to this case?

Her daughter is ruled to have died in an accident.

It's not directly related to Cheung's case.

By law, what she must do...

is to continue to work on Cheung's armed robbery case...

on 20 December 2007.

These are two separate cases.

But the defence will use this against us for sure.

Our case is very strong...

and with the evidence we have, we can definitely nail Cheung Yat Tung.

We just need to handle all the evidence carefully...

and make no mistakes.

We've prepared adequately. the defence can't win.

I've absolute confidence in Go Mun's integrity and ability.

Brother Tong Fay, you're getting better at this.

What did you draw?

This is me and this is my sister.

Dad said she went to school somewhere faraway. I miss her.

Is it the same as last week again?

These taste better.

It smells good.

Try some.

It's delicious.

My teacher is teaching me to bake this Saturday. I'll bake you some.

May I go, too?

I don't know. I'll have to ask Miss Lee.

OK.

Yes?

Get to work.

Rest in peace, haunt your enemies.

We're just doing our job.

Here's HKD$40,000 for this job.

The two packs of dope you lost previously cost HKD$200,000.

HKD$25,000 is for the second instalment.

The balance of HKD$15,000 is for you, correct?

I want my watch back.

Your eye is getting worse.

The doctors are sure they can't get the glass shards out?

Yes.

Then you'll go blind sooner or later.

You're on your own.

Even if you go blind, you must still pay me back.

I won't help you if you don't.

You'll have to solve your own problems.

Sure. My eyes aren't your problem.

What other jobs do you have for me?

I don't know if you're willing to do.

I'll do anything.

It's a child.

Kidnap her. HKD$20,000 for the job.

Then we'll decide what to do next.

OK, get ready and we'll begin.

Hurry up! Ling, hurry up...!

Come back...!

Come back... Hurry up...

Children, line up to wash your hands.

Then we'll eat cake, OK?

Yes!

Excuse me, I need to wash my hands.

One by one.

Ling... someone took Ling away!

Hey!

Ling has been abducted.

Hello?

I have your daughter.

Get Cheung's blood sample sorted. If he's acquitted, we won't hurt her.

Call the police and she dies.

Mr Hong.

I've told you so many times to fix my toilet.

Your sewer pipe is causing mine to choke.

You're so mean!

An old lady needs to take a dump too, you know!

Honey, when will you be home?

Why didn't you answer my call again?

Didn't you get my text?

I didn't check.

My father is in Hong Kong.

I'm picking Ling up to have dinner with him.

What's wrong?

She's not feeling well. Don't bring her out.

She was fine this morning.

I'll go see her.

No need. It's not serious.

- I'll see her anyway... - She's sleeping! No!

Why not?

She's not supposed to be with you today anyway.

Don't be so unreasonable.

Who's being unreasonable?

She's sick and yet you want to take her out!

Today is Mother's Day. She's staying with me.

My dad is leaving tomorrow.

I'll bring her back really soon.

If Mother's Day is so important to you, you shouldn't have abandoned them!

Get lost!

Go Mun, don't be like this.

Open the door and hear me out.

Go Mun, calm down, will you?

Go Mun.

Open the door, Go Mun.

Go Mun.

The divorce papers state that Ling stays with you and Yee with me.

If you insist on taking Yee, I'll see you in court.

What court? I'm not fighting with you.

Have you considered how Yee feels?

She's my daughter.

She'll tell me her feelings. Stay out of it.

You only think for yourself.

Do you know that she's afraid to live with you?

She's a child. She needs to be taken care of.

You leave her alone at home every night.

She was bawling when she called me last night.

Do you know that?

You work eighteen hours and hit the sack right away after getting home.

Have you even looked at her?

You're so selfish. You've never considered how the kids and I felt.

If you can't take care of her, give her back to me.

Send her over right now.

So, when you were fooling around, did you think of us?

Would our family be like this if not for you?

You're not fit to criticise me!

Fire!

What's up?

Sorry, Sun.

The boys and I had a barbecue a couple of days ago.

We talked about you.

What did you talk about?

About how you vanished. You left without a word.

That was an accident.

The bosses said nothing. Why blame yourself?

Are you mad at me?

What's the use of being mad at you?

My daughter taught me to read comics.

I now know what fair trade means.

I'm limping but my wish had finally come true.

That's fate.

Sometimes it messes with you, sometimes it helps you.

There's nothing you can do.

What can I do for you?

Sun, you're well connected.

There's something I've to do but I can't report it.

Please look up a phone number for me.

Fay, I got it.

The 1.15 pm phone call to Go Mun...

was made from a public phone at 6 Observatory Road.

There must have been many fingerprints since then.

I've asked Lang Mui to help you.

Boss, I don't think I can get anything from this.

You haven't even tried. Is this how you do things?

When I first joined the team, I was told you were very fierce.

Yes, you are indeed but...

I like working for you.

I'll call you if I find anything.

HKD$350.

Officer, I'm the only one here.

- Is the CCTV downstairs yours? - Yes.

How much longer are you going to take, Officer?

Why are you messing with my garbage bin?

Have you collected the garbage today?

Yes.

Where is it?

Where else but the garbage collection centre.

What are you doing here?

- Police. - What's going on?

Where's the garbage that was collected from Observatory Road?

It's over there but so is the garbage from the nearby streets.

Just one puff, all right?

Do you have to suck so hard?

I gave you this after my first deal.

How dare you pawn it?

The doctor said you'll recover.

If you can move your hands, try moving it more.

Send me more texts.

It's a beautiful day today. If only I could gaze upon the blue sky with you.

When you get better...

we can gaze upon the sky, or the sea if you like.

I'll do anything you want.

Sun, I found a SIM card.

Can you get CIB to check it out for me?

I'll do it tomorrow. I'm already back at Shenzhen.

Come back.

I'll do it tomorrow morning.

If you're in a hurry, do it yourself. You know that person as well.

Who is it?

Dai Mai.

What can I do for you?

The phone Sun wanted you to check, it's for me.

Fill out a form.

Shortcuts are not allowed.

Please help me.

Help you? How?

If my boss finds out, he'll file a complaint like you did...

and I'll lose this job.

You loved to file complaints.

You complained when I left a little earlier.

You complained when I was two seconds late in barging in!

Did we get the guy? Yes, we did!

Everyone was commended except me!

What can I do but to stay here and mope?

This is not the way to do things.

You like to yell, I let you yell at me!

I'd prepared myself for that!

But you don't just yell at me.

I applied for sick leave and gave you a doctor's MC...

but you said it was faked and filed a complaint!

You messed up my record so much, I'd never get promoted.

I know you take your job very seriously but remember...

I'm your cousin.

We're family!

I'm your cousin no matter what.

The least you can do is to apologise.

Sorry, Cousin.

Leave. I don't want to see you.

I understand why you won't call the police.

I'm not here as a policeman.

Leave!

I know you hate me.

I'm not asking for forgiveness. I just want to help.

Stay out of my family affairs.

Please open the door and hear me out.

Have they called you again?

Tong Fay 90719002

Your daughter is fine for now.

Remember, steal Cheung's blood sample from the evidence collected.

Someone will call you before the trial tomorrow.

Fay, I've tracked down Go Mun's mobile phone.

She has just received an MMS.

I need time to decode it.

The phone number that the sender sent the MMS from...

is exactly the same as the SIM card you picked up.

The reception point is in North Point. The area is bordered by the roads of...

Java, Marble, Tong Shui and Chun Yeung Street.

Officer Chan, I'm the advising counsel in the Cheung Yat Tung case.

I need to ask you for help.

Miss Go, Officer Chan had delivered all the evidence and paperwork.

I've left them in your office.

OK.

Fay, I'd decoded the MMS. I'm sending it to you now.

Have some bread.

Mr Hong! Open up, Mr Hong!

Mr Hong!

Granny, is it here?

Mr Hong!

Granny, are you sure it's here?

Yes! I saw him coming back.

Open the door, Mr Hong. It's the police.

Mr Hong, this old lady called the police...

saying you messed with her sewer pipe.

She also said there's a foul smell coming from your home and that you're too noisy.

We're here to take a look.

Sure.

Granny, there isn't any foul smell.

Go in and you'll smell it.

Be serious in your job, don't be so sloppy.

Can we take a look around?

The ceiling height is nice but the stairs are a little too much.

Yes.

Granny, everything seems fine.

Just wait and see.

Look, something is floating up!

Mr Hong, I've asked you to fix it umpteen times.

Something is floating up now.

Mr Hong, you guys are neighbours. Just get it fixed...

so it won't bother Granny and us.

All right.

Madam, stay there and watch. Something will float up soon.

OK, Granny. I'll stay just a little while more.

Mr Hong, you've to fix this. It has overflowed.

I told you so.

Sis...

Hello?

Mummy!

Ling?

Mummy, I'm very scared. Come and get me.

Where are you?

Ling...?

Ling, don't be afraid and tell me where you are now.

Can you see the street outside?

Ling...

Ling, tell me. What do you see?

Don't be afraid. What do you see?

Tell me...

Hello?

Why? Does it still hurt?

What colour is this? What colour?

Purple.

This one. What colour is this? What colour?

Yellow.

And this?

Purple.

Take your medicine.

Drink some water. Drink more.

Better now?

Don't be afraid, I'm here.

I'm here, don't be afraid.

Are you sure?

Do you want to eat chicken drumstick?

And salad too.

Louder.

I want salad too.

You want salad?

OK, we'll get it after we sort these out.

What have you found out?

Take a look at this.

The background is red.

Neon lights? It looks like it's coming from somewhere very near.

There are four streets here, with a total of nine neon signs.

Of which, three are near residential homes.

These signs are huge and their lights shine into many units.

Do you need backup?

Eight out of ten kidnappers are caught during the payment of ransom.

The problem here is they don't want money.

It's useless even if you've ten teams scouring the area.

They'll change location once they get wind of the police hot on their trail...

and you'll lose them.

So what now?

Wait for nightfall and look out for the red sign.

It's still a long way to nightfall.

Have you eaten?

I'll buy. What do you want?

Black coffee.

Black coffee and no food will kill you, you know?

Keep your eyes peeled.

Beef noodle, fried rice and two iced coffees. One without sugar.

To take away.

HKD$70, please.

HKD$70...

Have some tea while you wait.

Boss, here's your chicken drumstick with salad.

I think...

I suspect I spotted Grey Eye at Fatt Kei, 10 Tong Shui Road.

- Call an ambulance. - Hey!

What's wrong with you? Are you blind?

My daughter! Give me back my daughter!

Attention all units! Gunshots were fired...

at the North View Street overhead bridge at King's Road.

Support needed. Out.

Attention all units. The North View gunman...

is in a black jacket and brown pants.

Short hair, with an obvious scar over his right eye. Out.

Stop right there!

Police! Don't run! Stop right there!

Officer 5253 calling dispatch.

The North View Street gunman...

is heading west along Chun Yeung Street.

Stop right there!

Move away... police!

Get out of the way... police!

Don't run! Stop right there!

Sergeant Tong, your gun, please.

Come with us to the station later to make a more detailed statement.

Did you hear me, Sergeant?

Sorry, if you may excuse us, we'll be there shortly.

I know you want to rescue the little girl at all cost...

but everything is messed up now...

and is beyond our control.

I must save her myself.

I know...

You want to resolve this on your own for your redemption.

But have you considered...

you may make things worse?

If something happens to the little girl, you'll be doomed forever.

Are you really doing this for her or for yourself?

Be very clear about that.

I am.

A gunfight erupted at Tin Chong Street at five o'clock today.

Police say the criminal had fired a total of four shots.

A police officer was injured.

Police are now searching...

- Hello? - You're not taking us seriously.

Remember, you chose to harm your daughter.

It has nothing to do with me. I didn't call the police!

Hello...?

Listen to me first. I've a lead.

I'm at North Point. I'll wait for you.

Go Mun is coming.

Speak.

Here's the order from Boss. Chop off the kid's hand.

Film it and send it to her mum.

- Hey! - Sun...

I'd told you it's none of your business and to stay out of it!

Why did you have to stick your nose in?

We really have a lead.

You've made such a big mess out of it.

They're going to hurt Ling now.

You'd already gotten one of my daughters killed.

Do you want to get my other daughter killed too?

I want to save her.

I don't want you to! Not you!

Anyone else can save her but you!

I won't let you hurt my daughter again.

Get lost!

Get lost!

Take a look at this.

We found out that the MMS was sent out from around here.

The red light in the background is from a neon sign for sure.

We've looked at several of them; this is the last one left.

I may be wrong...

but both you and I need a sliver of hope.

Have you found out anything?

Did you see Ling?

I'll definitely bring her back.

Fay!

Hang in there, honey. I'll come back for you.

What are you doing?

Where did he go?

Which hand do you write with?

My right.

Chop off her left hand.

Help...

Help...

I have your wife.

Bring Ling back right now.

If you don't let my daughter go, I'll have the police guard your wife.

You'll never get to see her again!

Let my daughter go at once!

Sun, what did Dai Mai say?

Got it. He's still around the vicinity.

Do you know what your husband is doing?

Tell him to come back.

- Call him and tell him to come back. - Calm down...

- Get him to come back... - This isn't going to help.

Calm down. Do you want some water?

What do you want?

OK... I'll get it for you.

Bring some water here.

Which bottle? This one?

- No. - This?

- No. - Is this the one?

Yes...

How many pills?

One? Two?

Give her two.

- Open your mouth. - Slowly...

She can't open her mouth. Help her.

- Help her. - Easy...

- Slowly... - Give her some water.

All right...

It's fine now...

You're fine.

Relax, you're fine, don't worry.

You're also a woman.

So I hope you understand.

I've already lost one of my daughters.

I caused her death.

The guilt eats at me.

I haven't been able to sleep since.

I can't lose this daughter too.

I beg you...

to tell your husband not to hurt my daughter.

I'll do what they asked.

Tell him for me.

I beg you...

I can't wait anymore.

What she's going to do will be obstruction of justice.

Call an ambulance to take her to the hospital first.

One, two, three.

I'll go with her.

- These are her pills. - OK.

Get up. Open the door.

Get up.

Open the door.

Sun... hang in there.

I can do it...

My phone is in the ambulance.

Get up. Open the door.

Get Dai Mai to track my phone.

Take it easy, don't move.

Don't talk. I'll call for a car.

Keng.

What phone are you using?

It's a new SIM card. The case has been exposed.

I don't care. You be responsible for it.

Can you help look after my wife first?

No. Deal with it yourself.

And don't think about escaping.

If I find you, you won't be the only one to die.

We tracked Sun's phone to Lok On Pai in Zone Fifty-nine of Tuen Mun.

Inside an abandoned desalination plant.

- Ling! - Brother Tong Fay.

Give the blood sample to the two men in front...

and we'll release your daughter.

- Hello? - Go Mun, I'm with Ling now.

Tong Fay?

Is Ling all right?

I've got her. We're fine.

Hello?

- Hello? - Listen.

Don't give them the blood sample.

Is Ling okay?

Brother Tong Fay, does it hurt?

Mommy taught me that when I fall...

no matter how much it hurts, I must keep running.

I know.

Your Honour, Members of the Jury.

The lab has proved that this is Cheung Yat Tung's blood.

That is to say, the masked armed robber...

who shot and killed the guard...

is the defendant, Cheung Yat Tung.

Make the phone call! Call my men to do something...!

Witch! Just you wait! You witch!

Court is adjourned.

Hold this.

Once we go in, don't turn back no matter what.

Understand?

It's very dark in there. I'm afraid of the dark.

Tell yourself, you can do it.

I'll also tell myself, I can do it.

OK?

Go in. Ling, go in.

Mummy, help. I'm so scared.

Call me back quickly.

- Speak. - Kill the girl.

I'll pay you when I see her body.

Ling...

Ling...

Everything is fine. Nothing must happen to you!

Ling...

Wake up, Ling...

Wake up...

I said, wake up...

Wake up...

Wake up!

I didn't give up. Neither should you...

Wake up...

Wake up...

You told me, you said...

your mummy said...

your mummy said to keep running, no matter what.

Wake up.

Wake up and run with me.

If you don't, I can't run anymore.

I really can't run anymore.

Wake up.

Please wake up.

Please wake up.

Wake up and run with me.

We'll go to cooking class together, OK?

Call me back quickly.

Ling...?

Breathe... stay still.

Breathe... breathe slowly, Ling.

Breathe. We'll keep running.

Cop.

Cop.

Cop!

Cop!

Cop!

Come here!

Cop! Come here!

Cop! Come here!

Cop! Come here!

Cop...

I'll save you.

Find my wife...

Chuen, my kid will be born soon.

I need money, please help me.

I'd give your husband work only if he's less grumpy.

He's always complaining or throwing tantrums.

It's survival of the fittest in this world.

Nowadays, hired killers just need to be fearless.

The other young punks charge only a few thousands...

but your husband charges five figures.

You'd go for the cheaper option too, won't you?

Being a hoodlum is also a job.

My husband has over twenty years' experience.

Don't compare him with the rookies.

If he's willing to work, he won't starve.

I'm his wife. I don't want to see him insulted.

I'll do anything.

Chuen, what's wrong with you?

Can't you see that my wife is pregnant?

You got her to make deliveries? Are you blind or are you crazy?

- What are you shouting about? - Stop it, honey. I wanted to do it.

Go on. I dare you to go on!

Wake up, will you! If not for you idling around,

would your pregnant wife need to work?

You're so picky with the jobs! You want to talk about dignity?

Can you afford to do that?

I won't allow it!

Don't go back on your word.

Keng, run!

Stay where you are! Don't run!

Stay where you are!

Wah, this is Keng.

Grab your weapons and meet me at the martial arts school.

Now!

Are you hurt?

Hang in there!

We'll go to the hospital now!

Hang in there, honey!
