Hey, this is more fun than winning the lottery.

?? If we do it right

it'll pay off better than the lottery.

So stay sharp.

Ready, let's go!

Tape his mouth!

You idiot, you smashed the car up.

I couldn't help it, he was strangling me from behind.

You should have tied him up better!

Hey, screw you. This is your fault!

Back off!

If you weren't crawling up our butt

you wouldn't have tried to blame my brother

for something you caused.

Back off! Just admit it!

You all failed.

My god, you expect this next one like that?

He's not paralyzed, you know.

He will put up a fight!

Damn!

I told you to switch off this pager

during the practice run!

Stay awake.

Anything can happen out there.

Psychological counseling is

down the hall, sir.

They're expecting you.

I have an appointment.

Your gun.

Sign here, please.

First door on the right.

Thanks.

Inspector, you were found to be justified.

So tell me, why are you so upset over the shooting?

You're wrong, I'm not.

I mean it's been two days

and you were certainly facing a life-and-death situation.

My baby, don't let them hurt my baby!

Get back! Get down, this is serious!

Stop where you are!

I'm sorry.

I'll survive but now you see what I meant?

You still maintain that you're not upset?

For instance when it's life or death

it must scare you quite a lot.

The results can be so unpleasant.

I mean, in fact,

you could shoot an innocent civilian by mistake.

When you think about it, you could get shot yourself

during an exchange of gunfire.

Hey asshole, come and get us, when we've got the cards.

Hey, that's my lunch!

And there's a third hazard to consider in your job.

You might shoot and suffer emotional trauma

over the suspect's death.

Believe me inspector, I know what you're feeling.

Now it's a normal emotion.

You're feeling responsible.

A person died and it bothers you.

It's possible, let's assume you're right,

at least for the moment.

What would you do about it?

I'd request an immediate vacation

and take a little time off to rest.

Thanks, doctor, but I don't need a rest.

Write your report however you like, I'm going.

I, ng kwok-wah, who service godfather and chairman

of the wo pa tung.

I, ng kwok yan, who acts as general counsel

to Khan loo traders.

I, hung ting-bong, senior detective

in the major crimes division.

I, Simon ting, who comes here from Taiwan,

the manager and chairman of a financing conglomerate.

I, ho she shang, cantonese commander

of the red star commune.

We shall be brothers from this day forward.

We swear this upon our sacred ancestors.

Though born separately, we will die together.

We swear with this blood

to fight the evil plans

of the man known as wong yat-fei.

May the gods bless our holy endeavor.

We will take his ill-gotten money

in the name of justice.

Any who betray the sacred oath shall be cut down

by the sword of heaven.

His name will be dishonored

before his family and his friends.

He shall be destroyed and his body stoned.

By the time we got there he was gone.

He cleaned out his bank account and disappeared.

Yeah, that's what I heard.

Yeah.

Hi Eddie. Morning.

The chief came around.

He says he wants to see you in his office right away.

Thanks, yeah.

I pay millions in taxes each year

and I expect some protection in return.

Morning, sir.

Inspector chan let me introduce you to Mr. wong yet-fei.

He suspects that someone may be planning to kidnap him.

Correct, sir?

I don't just suspect it, I have evidence proving it.

I had a photographer stake out one of my building sites

to see if the workers were stealing anything.

He photographed that car parked half a block

from the front gate, four days in a row,

with the same men in it.

I seem to recall

you were kidnapped once before, weren't you?

I'm not paranoid, I sense something's wrong.

Sort of a gut feeling?

Correct.

Sit down, inspector.

Right, I operate on my intuition.

All I've accomplished is because of it.

It's never failed me before.

But I have discovered intuition alone is no good.

To do well you need a foundation of information.

It's imperative.

I purchased lots of land after the '67 riots.

It was a good investment.

That's 'cause I knew the companies would need some place

to rebuild their factories after the unrest was over.

Informed intuition.

Mr. wong, is it possible

your previous kidnapping has made you a bit more jumpy

around people you're not familiar with?

Yes, perhaps, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

I agree, sir.

Inspector, investigate.

Yes, sir.

Stop it!

Where have you been?

Why haven't you answered my calls?

I've been working on something important.

What is it?

And just what kind of case would keep you away

for two weeks, huh?

Come on and don't try that story

about having to go undercover.

You think you can see right through me, huh?

And you think you know all about me.

I don't, I just know you're a small potatoes detective

with the Hong Kong police

and you make a measly 2,000 a month in salary.

Why don't you quit and let me support you?

Because then I'd lose face

and you wouldn't respect me anymore.

Right? Ow!

Not bad, that was nice.

So you can come back with me to my house.

No time now.

I'll stop by later.

What, you mean you're gonna leave me and run off again?

Hey, I told you I'm busy, go away.

Who is it, some other woman?

Come on, tell me. Quit it!

Tell me what you're up to, dammit.

Stop prying into my business affairs!

I'll see you later.

What makes you think I'll be around?

I'll find someone else.

A lot of men would like to see me spread my legs apart.

The line would stretch from Peking to canton!

You bastard.

With so much wealth leaving Hong Kong

all these luxury units will be hard to fill.

Stephen take a look here.

The thing to do is to subdivide.

Cut every large layout into four smaller ones.

It should work out well.

It'll attract small families who can't afford much

and increase profits.

But, Mr. wong, the units will be so small

that two families will have to share a bathroom,

not to mention the cooking facilities.

If the price is right people will be willing

to make some sacrifices.

We're providing low-cost housing for families on a budget.

The housing department won't approve these modifications.

Just do what I tell you. Don't notify them yet.

Start the construction at all the sites.

We'll apply for the permits after the work is well underway.

And tell the contractors to speed up the schedule

even if it means hiring extra men.

The sooner the flats are completed

the less the housing department will have to say about.

Put your hands behind your back.

Hold it, hold it!

Cut it out!

You!

We've been cheated?

Hey, what's with all the police.

We want our back wages for this chisel work.

Mr. wong, these guys aren't kidnappers, are they?

Might be hired assassins.

We want our money!

Hold it!

We need ids, this is an illegal assembly.

We order you to disperse.

We want our money!

The cops are protecting this group.

Arrest these, tonight. All right, go ahead.

Do it!

No gun.

Everybody I want you to put your guns away and stand back.

I want my money. Okay, everyone cool down.

You cool down!

We don't we to deal with a bunch of cops!

Christ, we want our money!

You're under arrest, assaulting an officer.

Hey, hey!

Hey! Leave us alone!

Break it up, everybody get back.

Stop the pushing.

Back off, all of you.

Back off!

Yeah! Hold on a minute.

Hey, listen, let's talk this out.

Your cops, what do you know about this?

We work for salaries just like you.

We know what it's like to make ends meet

from payday to payday. To have to put food on the table

when there's barely enough money to pay the rent.

Come on, they don't know.

There's times when we'd like to demonstrate

but we have to maintain order around here.

We can't have anarchy.

You must present your grievance against Mr. wong

to the proper authorities.

Oh come on. Then the police can work

on your behalf.

This city is governed by law right?

Oh, law sure. There's no law!

And in the eyes of the law everyone is equal.

It's our job to protect each and every citizen.

Believe me we fully sympathize with you

but we can't allow a riot to develop.

I'm responsible if you people lose control.

So you better understand the law.

You can't block access or damage property.

If you do so, we'll have to arrest you.

I'd prefer you go home, go please.

What about our money? I want my money.

We still haven't gotten paid.

No more. Come one!

We want our money.

Wong, you walkin' away with this, I swear,

you'll die a foul death

and your family will be turned for generations.

This dispute is the contractor's responsibility not mine.

Yeah.

Just a minute, inspector.

Why are you letting them all leave?

They should all be arrested.

Mr. wong, this dispute is not our concern.

To kidnap you was not their intent.

I could call the labor commission for you.

No problem, Chang, I'm sure we can handle it ourselves.

He could handle it.

He could pay them their wages.

Move out. Right.

Listen, you guys up on the roof, we're leaving.

Keep an eye on the crowd down here.

Disperse them if they start to cause trouble

but don't hurt them, you understand?

Right.

You know, wong has a reputation for being a real asshole.

Pull over I really don't feel well.

You bring your heart pill?

I took it.

How about reclining your seat?

That feel good? Uh huh.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to raise a toast

to Edward, Doug and David in honor of their promotion.

Hip, hip...

Hooray!

Hip, hip...

Hooray!

Hip, hip...

Hooray!

Darling, wake up, we're being followed.

Fei, dear, calm down.

It's probably nothing.

I'd better call the police.

Please, you call them too often.

We're taxpayers and we have a right to police protection.

Inspector, this is wong yat-fei, I'm being followed.

Where are you now?

On peak road, heading home.

These could be the kidnappers.

Maybe they're construction workers looking

for their wages.

Don't be ridiculous,

I settled that issue this afternoon.

Come quickly, my wife's with me, we're in danger I tell you.

Hey, look he's onto us!

He's making a call.

Then cut him off, go!

I was right.

What do they want with us?

Keep down.

Please don't hurt my husband.

Shut up, bitch! Please, leave him alone!

Leave him alone.

His wife's here too.

What, you were supposed to watch for that!

Help, help! Hold still, dammit!

Why couldn't you see she was in the car?

She was laying down, dammit, what do we do now?

I don't know let me think for a second.

All right, bring her along.

His wife has heart trouble.

Be careful with her, she's fragile.

We have to have her, she's important to us.

We're not gonna get the money if she drops dead.

Hello major crimes.

Patch me through.

Who's this? Detective chan here.

Don't you know my voice?

Sorry, sir, I need your six digit code number

to complete the call.

I want to report a crime, okay!

I still need your code number...

The cids on our trail, stop him quick.

Harvey, you get wong out of here

while we get rid of the cop.

Run into him!

Hello, this is major crimes.

Eddie chan, I'm special-operations, I'm on peak road.

If you want to use this line,

I need your six-digit code number, please.

Police, I want to record a kidnapping.

I'm a private citizen.

Give a description of what exactly occurred.

I saw two men push a guy into a car

at the top of peak road.

I don't know what to do.

We'll send someone immediately.

That'll be great.

All units near peak road, a citizen has just called.

He reports someone in that area has just been kidnapped.

Central, this is mobile unit 12 and 18.

We are proceeding to vector seven.

He's back following us.

Right, keep to the plan.

Get wong away.

We know how to take care of this guy.

He must have made a call down to central.

We'll have to shake these guys.

Stop!

That cop is dead, hung.

Those idiots, simple kidnapping is turned into murder.

No more dodging.

Help, wait!

I'm on my way to the hospital

with one of the traffic officers,

the other ones receiving first aid on the scene.

I need backup units now!

This is mobile unit 54.

I'm approaching the peak road traffic circle.

Here I am, over here.

I have inspector chan in sight.

Three other units have just arrived.

We're escorting the inspector to lobby hospital.

Eta, seven minutes.

Where's the emergency room!

This way, quickly, get the doors!

Get a doctor down here, hurry.

Open the doors.

Stand back, clear a path.

Open that door.

Dammit, where's the doctor.

Get out of the hallway.

Doctor, please help him, he's been hit by a car.

It's a head injury, he's lost lots of blood.

You gotta stop the bleeding

hold it, sir, you can't go in there!

You're injured yourself.

Don't worry about me. Take it easy.

Do something to help that man, he's bleeding to death.

Please, sir, listen,

we're doing everything we can for him.

What's going on down there?

Yeah, okay. We got an officer down here.

Try to calm down, sir, you need treatment yourself.

They're doing what they can.

I tried to stop the bleeding, leave me alone!

You've done very well, sir.

Please let us treat your injuries.

You have to help him.

Is he, he looked?

Calm down, now.

It's all right, I've got him.

Coming through over here, coming through.

Here comes the other officer.

Make way! Make way!

Clear a path.

We've gotta get him to surgery.

To emergency. Over here!

Was he hurt very badly?

It's a minor head wound, just needs a few stitches.

Ease.

Are they all right?

They're in the operating room.

They've got the best surgeons. Emergency.

I want to see them don't move!

You'll reopen your wound! What do I care!

I'm going!

Not until we've clipped your stitches!

Eddie, let the doctor do his job.

Think a second about what you're doing.

It's completely unreasonable.

What do you know about it?

I called for reinforcements!

Those guys are my responsibility!

Come on, Eddie, you know you need time off.

You're feeling guilty when you shouldn't again.

Oh no, then how did they get in here?

Those officers were injured while doing their duty.

They knew the job was risky.

They made the choice when they came on board.

You tell the children that

when they ask what happened their father.

Lee hang!

Is he going to be all right?

Lee hang, no.

Lee hang, no! No, no.

Lee hang!

Doctor, I'm Peter mings' wife,

I got here as soon as I could.

Where have they taken him?

Will he be all right? He just came in,

we're doing our best.

We're operating now.

Oh, thank you, doctor.

Put her on the ground and take him to the boat.

Come on.

Huh?

Can you feel a pulse?

Thanks.

Hit the gas. Got it.

Come on!

That's it.

Set sail right away.

Clean up everything here, dump the car

and only emergency calls.

Last evening about 6:00 o'clock,

a local businessman was kidnapped.

Wong yat-fei and his wife were heading home from work.

They never got there.

They were halfway down the peak road

when their car was overtaken

by a gang of thugs and broadsided.

Wong called me just before the incident

and he'd been in to see the chief the day before that.

He suspected that someone was plotting to kidnap him.

I rushed to the scene after receiving his call

and got there in time to see the crime taking place.

I tried to stop the kidnapping but I failed.

The perpetrators were driving four different cars.

The wong's were in a gold colored Mercedes-Benz.

The officers who arrived

to help were both run down by thugs.

One of them passed away.

The criminals dropped Mrs. wong at the harbor

and told her to bring the ransom in three days.

They're demanding cash.

They want 60 million.

What!

Who's gonna come up with... They'll pay it.

Listen up.

An interdepartmental task force is going to coordinate

on this incident.

Inspector chan will be heading it up.

I want intelligence to wiretaps

on Mr. wong's home and business.

And I want us online when these guys call with instructions.

Next step, team number two begins the search

and they better move fast.

I want raids on all possible hideouts in Hong Kong,

kowloon and the offshore islands.

Third, I want all our undercover agents on the street

to pass the word.

We want to know who pulled this off.

As for everybody else I want you to hit the whorehouses,

the gambling joints, anywhere you can think of.

Keep the pressure up until something breaks.

Get 'em, right?

Yes, sir!

Detective hung.

Lee, how are ya, it's been a while.

Nice shoes, you working late?

Oh, there's a big mobilization going on.

We need to have it reported as soon as possible.

I got it.

There's a possibility. Mm-hmm.

Well always

this is a list of the shops Mr. wong frequented.

Hey, detective hung. Over here, yeah.

Amy? You should hear this.

Hi, gene. It's been a long time.

You put on some weight.

You want to compare stomachs?

Hey chan. Yeah?

Let me introduce you to someone.

Meet detective hung.

He was the bloodhound

who solved wong yat-fei's first kidnapping.

Good to know ya.

I hear you're quite a hero in the department.

It's embarrassing.

No, no, no. Sorry.

I'd better answer this.

It could be my informer.

Hmm. Over here.

Now, check him out. Yes, sir.

Hung we've been spotted by an army gunboat.

Now he's turned and headed this way.

What am I supposed to do?

Try to get away from him, you idiot.

There's no place to hide out here

and I can't out run him!

Then put wong overboard, hide them under the hull.

Just don't lose your head

if they don't see him we got no problems.

Now get off the line.

I'm at police headquarters

and I've got to go back in.

Wait a minute I'm not through!

You in the boat, heave ho and come about!

What are you doing out here?

I'm on my way home from a fishing trip.

I'm not smuggling anything I swear.

Nothing here below deck.

Shut up old man or I'll drown you.

It's a mistake.

All right. I'm very sorry.

Don't do it again. I won't believe me.

Let's go, everyone back on the boat,

we're pulling out.

Stop, stop!

Here you go, sir.

I'm here.

Is that you, Mrs. wong? Yes.

Go to the wan chai branch of the chase bank

at 10:00 A.M. tomorrow and withdraw 60 million U.S. dollars.

Chase bank, wan chai branch, 10:00 A.M.

I'll be calling you by mobile phone.

Charge your batteries.

No, wait, please!

Okay, play it back.

Here's what we'll do.

A stakeout, calls are monitored

while the rest of the units deploy

and set up surveillance around the target bank.

We're in position, inspector chan.

Team four will cover the front entrance and the lobby.

Team five will cover the rear.

I want all calls reported to me immediately.

What?

You're on your w. Ay?

Yes.

All units we are monitoring phone transmission.

Central standby to broadcast please.

Glad you can follow orders.

How many minutes to the bank?

I don't know,

I just entered the wan chai district

and there's traffic.

I guess, about five minutes or so.

There's been a change of plans.

Don't go to the main office,

go to the admiralty branch instead.

What the hell.

Okay, I understand.

I'll go over there.

You stay here, the rest let's move it.

Yes, sir! We're on it!

I need more men, mobilize to reserves.

I'll need extra bodies to put

around the admiralty chase bank

in the next 10 minutes, if possible.

We're heading over there now.

Yeah.

Reserve backup team reporting.

We've reached the bank and are setting up surveillance.

Mrs. wong's car is approaching the business district.

It is now crossing the wan chai bridge.

What. Nothing.

We've been watching your car.

We'll call you in a little while.

Clear visual? Can you trace that?

I'm sorry, sir, he spoke way to fast.

Next call then. I don't know.

What's going on out there? We can try.

Mrs. wong has reached the bank

but the target has not yet surfaced.

Go to a bank, officer, get cash vouchers

for the 60 million.

Mrs. wong is entering the bank.

Okay, I'll get in touch with you in a few minutes.

Good morning, Mrs. wong.

I want to see a bank officer about something.

Looks like she's gonna withdraw the money.

Hey what's happening?

Hold on, she's getting a call.

Mrs. wong is now coming out of the bank.

Now go to the united Chinese bank.

She's going to the united Chinese bank,

inspector, it's three blocks away from your location.

I've done everything you ordered, went to the bank,

got the cash vouchers.

Before I go any further I want to speak to my husband

and make sure he's all right.

Mrs. wong is now on the footbridge

that leads to the bank.

Don't worry your husband's somewhere safe.

Once we get the money he'll be released

but remember no police and no tricks.

Or we can't guarantee he'll make it out alive.

Don't you dare hurt him.

He's never done anything to you!

We're following Mrs. wong a little too closely.

Move back before she gets upset.

Not all at once, people, show some smarts out there.

That first call came in from shinzon.

Get me the security commissioner.

Yes, sir. On the monitor.

Yes.

Give me another sheet on that.

Got it.

Chief, the security commissioner's on line five.

Yes, colonel Leigh, we could use your assistance.

No problem chief, tell me what it is you need.

You know I'm always glad to help you out.

Team seven,

Mrs. wong has now entered your sector.

Keep a close watch on anybody who gets near her.

I'll take it.

Yes.

We notified the chief that the call

he was inquiring about came in from Taiwan.

All right, thanks.

Nothing.

Any word yet from shinzon?

Nothing so far.

Okay Mrs. wong, the Taipei branch is

where you'll send the drafts.

Start transmitting them now.

Tell them we need an account number.

Wait a minute.

The manager needs an account number.

There's more than one.

Listen carefully.

All right, type this.

Team four, change clothes

and pick up Mrs. wong when she comes out of the bank.

We're changing now.

Don't let her out of your sight.

Got it right on.

Excuse me those bank drafts are being deposited

in 12 different accounts.

Get me Taiwan police headquarters.

Yes, sir.

Hello, commissioner shen, please.

This is commissioner shen, who is calling?

Chief chung, major crimes division Hong Kong police,

go ahead sir.

Commissioner we had a kidnapping take place.

A bunch of thugs did it.

They deposited the ransom money in a Taipei bank.

We'd like you to freeze their account.

Sorry, chief, if we're talking about a local crime,

we really don't have the authority

to interfere with banking and commerce.

Understood, but I have a reason

to suspect these men are terrorists, red army brigade.

This money could fund a subversive plot.

Now don't be impatient, we're almost done.

It's up to 30 million.

Already 30 million.

That's only half the amount.

For your husband's sake, they better speed it up.

Hey, it's not their fault, they're doing the best they can

but it's a slow process.

It would have helped if you didn't have

so many account numbers.

William street public phone, thank you.

That shinzon call, they were able to trace it.

Chief chung?

Yes, what is it?

The bank accounts are registered

to four different individuals.

Taiwan will fax us their information.

Eddie, listen go in the bank and stop the pay off.

Yes, sir.

Once they get the money,

they're gonna go underground

and we'll have no way to track 'em.

I've just entered the bank.

Hold it, sir! No one's allowed inside.

See ID. Go past the doors.

You can't come in here. Go.

You'll have to let us through.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. You can't just bust in here.

You can our boss to verify identification.

Can you call back?

My phone battery's going dead and I have to replace it.

Just a minute.

Okay, no fooling around.

I'll phone you again in a minute.

Huh, excuse me, sir? It's all right.

Mrs. wong, look, don't pay this ransom.

Don't do it.

You have to understand even if you give them the money

they may kill your husband just to protect themselves.

How am I supposed to react?

You tell me?

What are my options?

First you say to pay it,

oh but then you say I shouldn't do it.

You're making it worse.

Mrs. wong we're about to make the transfer.

The amount is 14 million.

Should we send it?

Yes, please.

You can't put your trust in the men like that!

They should all be put into a cell!

Sorry, inspector, I just want my husband back.

Apprehending them is your job.

Mrs. wong, look at this.

In the last couple of years there's been 15 cases

where they paid the money and the victim was killed anyway.

I don't want your husband to be the 16th.

Leave me alone!

You have to trust us.

Stop the transfer.

She stopped the ransom,

oh, great.

Whoever's been calling her must be in the area.

Seal off the streets and find him.

The woman must be crazy.

There he is, get him!

You there, halt, police!

Who's there, hello, hello?

Chief, Taiwan faxed us the information

about the bank accounts.

Three blocks...

No, I know exactly where it is.

Fei, what happens now?

$30 million won't save my husband.

Can't they help?

The problem is there's no extradition treaty with them.

I could send a man but which one?

Hey chief, I'll go to Taiwan, I know people there.

Fine, chan will go with you.

Hey, why do you look so nervous?

I don't like being away

it doesn't bother you?

The secret is to find something else to concentrate on.

Think about the hotel you're staying at.

It's a vacation you don't have to pay for.

Have a look at this.

You ever heard of this guy, Simon ting?

I wondered if he ever showed up before.

Never seen him, never.

I hope we get some cooperation.

Even if we don't, we spend two days there,

enjoy the nightlife and get to relax.

We're coming up on some turbulence.

Return to your seat, sir.

It's okay, I'm cid, he's a prisoner.

Oh.

It's all pretty much of a game to you.

How else can I approach it?

I've given 30 years of my life to the police force.

What have I got to show for it besides flat feet?

You do have a pension.

Yeah, right, and what will that buy?

When you get to be my age you have expenses.

It won't cover it.

When I was young, I didn't need a lot of money.

I was fresh out of school and full of optimism.

But the first time I got shot,

then everything was different.

You must know what I'm talking about.

Some minor turbulence. It makes you stop

and think, huh?

Sir, it could get bumpy, sit down.

Don't worry, I like danger.

And I'd asked for a refund if you didn't have any.

Come on, you heard her, you have to take your seat.

Don't be anal, these girls are too cautious.

There's nothing

I thought you guys robbed him.

Wow. Here, I got ya.

Right. He should have listened.

Sit down. She's told him

about three times.

Maybe he'll learn now. Sit down.

Take a seat, pal. Geez.

Their guns are in here, captain.

Store 'em.

Hi, I'm inspector chan, this is detective hung

hi, let me have your papers.

This way.

You understand the problem, of course.

We don't have diplomatic ties

or even normal interpol contact

so we can't officially help you.

Right, yeah exactly let's get going.

Sir? Yeah, what is it?

Call for you. Thanks.

Captain ko here.

Sir, our informants report

that a large group of men is gathering

at a house on fifth street.

Simon ting is among them.

Okay, tell squadron six they're on alert.

Tell them to get ready right now.

We'll begin mobilizing it 6:30.

I should be there before then.

Get in.

Get everything in place.

We'll see you then, eh.

Roger, sir, out.

Ko out, get back to airport? Are we gonna go on the raid?

Absolutely not, that'd be strictly forbidden.

This is ko, I want a SWAT team activated

and in place in 20 minutes.

Look you're here in an unofficial capacity.

If anything happens to you it'll be my ass.

Here we are.

I'll keep you posted.

Now go to bed early, okay.

Thanks. Sure.

Thanks. All right.

Put these in our room for us, will ya.

Hey, what's going on?

What do you think?

We're going to the raid.

What happens after that?

I'll come up with something.

Take us to fifth street.

All units maintain your position

and stand by for further orders.

Report any suspicious movements to captain ko.

Continue spy checks.

In any assault like this,

it's critical that innocent civilians be protected.

Captain, everything's ready to go.

Is everybody clear?

Yes, sir!

Do it!

Got those 50s? Yeah.

Over here. John, over here.

Okay. Got seven.

It's okay, take it easy.

Yeah, oh man, we're rich.

All right, cool it.

Don't get sticky fingers.

You'll get you share when the times.

Oh yeah.

You guys got a call yet?

Here's the rent. Good.

Please don't make a sound, quiet!

Get those women out of the way!

Come on, move, move! You can't arrest us,

we have a license. Somebody cover that window!

Get those drills over here and start to work on the walls.

What are you doing?

We don't have any time to lose.

Nobody here. Yeah.

Hey, you know what?

We ought to throw

ourselves a big celebration party, sergeant.

Bring in some women, some booze, get these boys a reward.

Later, there's plenty of time for that soon.

Check for that.

Yeah. All right.

Captain ko, we're ready.

Simon, the cops are outside.

They're all over the place.

Get the money out of sight and get out of here.

You men come with me.

All right, all right. Over here, we got it.

All right, everyone grab the money.

Grab as much money as you can, hide it.

Grab a firearm. Over here.

Quick, quick. Over here, come on.

Come on, come on, move it!

Step on it!

Come on, get out of here. Out of the way!

There they are!

Come on, go back! Come on, move it!

Halt, get out of the way, move it.

Move in!

Get out of my way. Hold it, there's cops.

Go, go.

They're shooting, come on!

Come on, let's go! Halt, halt!

That was Simon. Huh?

Wait, hold on! Come, let's go!

Run!

We've got to run, they're shooting!

This way, to the roof.

Get behind the wall, over here!

Get ready to make a break for it.

Let's get out of here.

Cover the window!

Give me that!

Where the hell our we? Ow!

That way, hurry.

Over that crossbeam, come on!

J what you see is what you get j

j so pal, you see anything that you want &

Get him! Right.

Go ahead.

What's going on?

Where's the money!

Huh?

What, what are you doing?

Get up here! Right, hang on now.

What's happening?

Who is that?

Everybody stay in the aisle. Out of the way.

Out of the way!

Get going, go on!

Cops everywhere!

If you would have tipped me off,

this wouldn't have happened.

Take it easy.

Report back here, come back.

You better come up with something and quick.

Shut up, I'm thinking.

Hey, look.

Help me, or I'll spill everything I know, I swear.

Well he almost threw me over.

Hey, come down from there?

Ministry of police, just one moment.

I want some answers chan

and you'd better not lie to me.

What's special about Simon?

Why'd you want to kill him?

I didn't want to kill him, I wanted to question him.

I thought he knew something,

like who's behind this kidnapping.

He jumped me!

Forget it, why'd you follow us?

'Cause my boss said to, why else would I do that?

You're way out of line.

This broke our agreement and our law.

You'll have to write a letter of apology.

No.

The truth is the guy's out of control.

It's like a personal obsession.

Inspector chan, since you refused to cooperate

in this matter I'm going to charge you

with a violation of our state security law.

In our eagerness to solve this case

we interfered and obstructed an official investigation.

Please we're very sorry, truly.

What happened up there?

How did he fall from the roof?

I want to call my superiors.

Thank you, detective, you've been very cooperative.

Glad to help.

Why were you following Simon ting?

What exactly is your relationship with him?

Hey you, wake up!

Your behavior's been very suspicious.

Were you part of the conspiracy?

Did you come to Taiwan to get

your share of the ransom money?

Is that what's going on?

Help me or I'll spill everything I know!

Somebody here is dirty, I sure know that.

What did you say, huh?

Now you're accusing our police

of being involved in some kind of plot!

That's funny coming from a cop from Hong Kong

where everybody's corrupt.

Help me or I'll spill everything I know!

I appreciate that, sir.

Yes, I know.

Oh sure, they'll be punished.

All right, I'd be happy to do that.

Yeah, a full report, bye, commissioner.

Serve Simon ting's office right now.

Yes, sir.

Drink, sir.

Oh, thanks.

Thanks.

Trip was good and I made some progress.

Yes, can I help you?

Cid we have a warrant to search the premises.

Stay right there. Our boss isn't here.

Your boss is dead. Okay, that'll be fine.

Sit down, don't move.

Visiting hours are over.

I'm a colleague of Peter ming's.

Which bed is his?

Right over there.

But you really can't stay long.

Thanks I won't.

Sir, this is inspector chan from cid.

How can I help you?

I have a search warrant to look over your records.

Should I put up all the files from 1 to 100?

Yes?

There's a detective here

and he's checking the cellular records

for phones one to 100.

Stay calm, it could be a coincidence.

What's his name? Eddie chan.

What should I do?

Erase my file and take it out of the computer right now!

Do you know what's going on?

I'm not sure we seem to be losing information.

Sir, don't touch the keyboard@

you'll damage the system!

How's he doing this?

Sorry, inspector, this software's been giving us fits

ever since we installed it.

If it's not one thing it's another.

Our records aren't secure anymore and we can't replace it.

Why the expense would close us down.

This is what business has come to.

Listen, inspector, once it's fixed

I can get you the information you need.

What was it anyway?

Can you give me some idea?

I'll be glad to help.

Inspector, I have a thought,

why don't you put it in writing

and I'll call you when I find it.

David, it's me.

Listen, what do we have on a guy named Portuguese?

Anything at all?

Is he a bad guy? Yeah.

I'll look. Get back to me soon.

One other thing.

Do you know if anybody's using a special type

of code number? What's the number?

Three, six, nine. I don't think so.

Thanks, don't worry about it.

Are there any caesars clubs in Hong Kong?

Just one and it's downtown.

All right, thanks a lot, I'll stay in touch.

Chan's interfering with the kidnapping.

So why don't we take him out soon, okay?

He almost rescued wong.

Then he showed up and killed Simon.

He's a menace.

This bastard's getting obsessed with the case.

He could hurt us.

So I figure we should split.

Don't panic, we're safe for now.

We've made a couple of mistakes

but we still have wong.

He's tucked away in that fishing boat

and the cops can't find him.

That gives us the upper hand.

And even though Simon is dead

we can still process the ransom through Taiwan.

All we have to do is keep the lid on a few more days.

Don't forget about the money.

There's still 30 million available

and wong's wife will hand it over

if it gets her husband home safely.

Believe me we can still pull this off.

Sir, we found this photograph in Simon ting's office.

A freighter, sir, we'd better search it.

Wake up, old man.

It's time to say something nice to your wife.

She misses you.

Just speak into this recorder

so we can show her you're still alive.

Get up!

Laura, why so early?

I couldn't sleep, okay.

Would you be miss Laura?

Yes, what do you want?

I'm from major crimes.

I'm trying to find out a few things

regarding detective hung.

That bastard should be in jail by now.

You better come over.

When I walked in,

I heard this policeman ask Laura some questions.

That fat son of a bitch deserves whatever he gets.

I know all about his dirty little deals.

Believe me you've come to the right place

for information on that Turkey.

What brings you up with the sun?

I thought I'd see if I could find a man.

Huh, I thought you were with one.

That cop, don't make me laugh.

I thought you'd liked cops.

About time you pick one it's pretty.

If you don't want him, I'm in.

I'm out.

Laura plays hard-to-get why don't you come with me?

I'm available.

I like a challenge.

He phoned twice yesterday and asked for me personally.

Where is Laura?

She's inside near the bar.

So are you gonna help me out or aren't you?

Oh, I haven't decided yet.

We can talk over a little wine.

J sometimes j

some time back he'd pal around with important men.

Yeah?

He wouldn't tell me very much

but he went to see them almost every night.

Was he there?

It's so dark in here, I can't see too well.

Barbara, separate them.

What difference does it make?

The man's gone.

Then you did know the guy.

Laura, mama wants to talk to you in there.

Bye. See ya later pretty boy.

Look what you did, you better buy me another drink!

Here, sir, let me dry you off.

Laura, you have to help me out,

that kid, he wants to ruin me.

Listen, damn it, if he asks about me

just give him the runaround.

Why should 1?

What's the point?

You have no respect for me.

You don't even come around.

I bet you've got another girl.

You think I have no respect for you,

that you're just an easy lay?

Here, read it, take a good look!

I bought a house for you on the gold coast,

it's recorded in your name okay?

Is that proof enough?

Keep your damn house.

I don't care anymore.

I'm not for sale

Laura, if you go out and tell him my business

then I'll be arrested,

you want that?

No.

You think 'cause you're a cop

you don't have to apologize?

He's right, say you're sorry.

Hey! Come back here, you creep.

You're crazy.

Sorry, buddy, I guess you didn't see my foot.

Maybe you need some glasses.

Hey, don't run off, pal.

We're sorry. Yeah, I really apologize.

You have to apologize, mister!

Go get him!

And you better pay fro my friends drink.

Get away!

Don't you have any respect?

This man's on duty.

Inspector, ah, he wants to see you.

Yeah, I know what he wants and I'm gonna tell him.

If you get in trouble, that's tough.

Listen, he looks upright, but he's really not.

You know what he does?

He never closes the bathroom door

and his underwear is filthy.

Oh there's a bunch of things I could tell you.

So I'll go down to the station, let me just clock out.

Well.

Are you ready to send your wife a message now?

Whatever you say.

Tell her to pay the money and fast.

You understand?

Yeah. Go on!

Tom-yu, it's me fei.

Go to the bank and pay them the money, please hurry.

Get the ball! I got it!

Come on, pass the ball.

Hey, you're out of bounds. I am not.

Yes, you were.

Why don't you use the trashcan down in the corner?

There you go, look it over.

He's the one you're looking for, detective chan.

Word is he's leaving tomorrow.

You should be able to catch him at the airport.

Mm-hmm should be able to get him.

I'll be in touch, thanks. J you know what they say j'

let me know if you hear anything else.

Sure, I'll see you around, bye.

Wait here.

Subject is here, move in.

Cid, come with us.

Hold it, police, we have a warrant for your arrest.

Come on.

Hey! Don't let him get away!

Get him! (Man groaning

get him!

Help, police brutality!

I'm being kidnapped, somebody help me.

Stop! Get him out of here, now.

I haven't done anything!

Police brutality. We got him.

Police brutality!

Let me go, let go of me, let go!

Let's go.

I'm not going to lock up.

I'm not going. Get in there.

Yes, sir.

They're gonna kill me anyway. I'm not going.

Take him inside.

Get his legs or he'll kick someone else,

get them off me!

I have something to say, chan!

Call them off.

Back away.

Listen, now I'm willing to talk

but first you have to cut a deal for me.

Cut the cuffs and get him out.

Fine flatfoot, go to hell,

'cause I ain't talking.

In fact, I think I'll stay right here.

Look at that, crazy.

Who is that?

Don't know, he's crazy. Give me key.

Yes, sir.

Think you're a tough guy.

Don't leave marks.

Yeah, wouldn't do, would it.

You want a shot at me, here's your chance.

No, it's all right.

You're not so tough, chan.

Come on jerk-off!

Oh no!

It's all right, it's all right.

That was an expensive wall.

Book him for destruction of public property.

Take him away. Yes, sir.

Guess you're not so tough now, huh?

Get up.

Where's inspector chan?

He's over there.

You want to complain.

No. Have him sign, go on.

Here and hurry it up.

This man's one of my informants.

What did he do?

We suspect he helped kidnap wong.

I protected you, you pay me back by a kidnapping.

I'm innocent.

You mean somebody framed you.

Yeah right. Yeah, yeah, framed.

That's right, by the police, they even beat me up.

Beat you up, huh?

They threw me against a wall.

Is that right? Yeah, I think I'm hurt.

You want a physician, huh?

You demand to be checked out.

Yeah, you're right, that's it, I want a doctor.

You punk.

You're one of the ones that hit.

What are you doing?

You bastard! Get back.

What, are you nuts?

You're through, they'd better find wong alive

or you'll be sorry.

Guess I blew it.

Better get him to a doctor.

No, hung, he stays right here.

Hey look, this guy's a snitch of mine and he's injured.

He's my responsibility.

He has to go to a hospital.

No, that man's not being moved without my approval.

Chan, hung, follow me.

Yes, sir.

Put a guard on that man

for his protection, round the clock.

Yes, sir.

Get moving! Yes, understood.

Go!

We've had a break in the kidnapping.

According to intelligence they've discovered

where mr wong is being held.

It's on a ship just offshore.

I want you two out there now.

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Assault teams one and two,

prepare to board immediately.

Chan and hung will coordinate the search

from either end working towards the middle.

Teams three and four will check out the adjacent islands.

Let's move quick down there.

All right, let's go. Yes, sir!

Sir, they're about to break through the hatch.

It's looking good down here, sir, over and out.

Check behind the life boat.

Right away, sir.

And you? Cargo hold.

Never mind that, search there.

But we just did, sir.

So go again. You heard the man.

Let's move it!

Inspector, we're going down

to check out the next level.

Okay. I'll join you in a few minutes

Where did you leave inspector chan?

Down in cargo hold six, sir.

All right. We'll keep looking?

Yeah.

Nothing yet. Keep searching.

Tell them to tear that boat apart if they have to.

Hey, anybody here?

Chan?

Are you in here?

Don't try to rub it out.

You can't erase the truth.

Don't.

What a scum sucker.

Remove your belt.

Give me a chance to explain, huh.

I thought you were a hero.

You were someone to look up to.

Instead I find out you're a scumbag.

Listen, hear me out.

There's a reason I'm involved.

I spent a lot of my life serving the public good.

I finally woke up and saw how futile it is.

Look, we make very little money at this.

We could be killed tomorrow.

The public hates us, what's the point?

To bring honor?

Well you can't live on honor, it won't cover the rent.

I'll split half my share with you.

Don't, that's bribery.

Okay, hung, I'm making an arrest.

Be advised but what you say can be used

against you in court.

Come on!

Grab hold of me, I'm slipping.

Don't move, I've got you.

Now get going.

Bastard.

You can't get away.

Anyone there?

Anyone?

Hung's been wounded in the leg.

Yes, he was shot by inspector chan, sir.

Chan just started shooting, what a thing to do.

He was nuts. Take it easy, detective.

Right, it'll be there.

And what else?

We're unable to locate chan.

Just keep looking til you find him.

Yes, sir.

Sure, we have a little trouble in the past

but that's no reason for him to plug me.

It's inspector chan, he's in the water.

Where? There he is.

I see him. Sir.

Hold on, sir. Swim.

I'll save ya. Get the ring.

You can do it.

Come on.

Hey, looks like they got him.

Over there. Chan's in the water.

Chief chueng, we finally found inspector chan.

Where did he turn up?

He's in the water next to the ship.

We're about to bring him on board.

Notify the hospital.

Hey, someone find detective hung

and place him under arrest.

Try not to worry about me, my darling.

I'm being kept in comfortable surroundings

and I haven't been mistreated so far.

But they wont' let me go unless they get the money.

And they've threatened to beat me if you don't cooperate.

It arrived this morning.

Sounds to me like they're losing Patience.

You'd better send the money soon.

Afterward we'll move in, then we'll pinch the lot

yes, ma'am.

I'm telling you hung is part of the gang

that pulled off this kidnapping.

I've gotta find him quick

or he might kill wong to cover his tracks.

The only place you're going is the hospital.

That's not necessary, I'm all right!

Let me track him down, will ya!

First the doctor.

Sir, the ambulance... hold on!

Is waiting to take you to the hospital.

I'm okay. Go along.

No, this guy's a killer!

This is an order!

Where's hung?

We don't know, he's disappeared, sir.

What do you mean?

I knew he'd go!

He's gonna kill wong!

Hold it!

Try and find hung, clear this up now.

Yes, sir.

Okay, looks good.

Mrs. wong do you want the whole amount sent out at one time?

Yes, and please hurry. Certainly.

Yes?

Detective hung, this is headquarters.

We picked up inspector chan 10 minutes ago.

And the chief asked me to get ahold of you.

He wants you down here immediately to fill out a report.

Thank you.

Excuse me, Mrs. wong, I have to leave, it's important.

Watch this door, don't let anybody in.

Yes, sir.

Chan must have told him his story

but he has no proof.

So they probably don't believe him.

But just in case ['ll meet you at 369, see ya.

Hello?

Mrs. wong this is Eddie chan.

I think the kidnappers may try to contact you again.

No matter what they say don't give them any more money.

You're 10 minutes late, Eddie.

It's been sent, Mr. hung said to send it.

He what!

7-Eleven Waterloo road.

Here you go.

Yeah, that's right. Sure.

Taxi!

Good morning.

Give me a hand with this will ya.

No problem.

Express, please.

A new addition? I saw it this morning.

Great.

I like steamed rice.

Coming right up.

Shanghai 369, that's the correct address?

Let's see if I got that straight.

That's two orders of rice dumplings,

two bowls of bean soup and three pretzels.

You want any tea with that?

I'll send it over right away.

What's taking so long?

You got everything? Yep.

Here try it on. Here, pack the boxes.

Put everything in the apartment.

Go ahead, I'm right behind ya. Anything in the paper today?

Uh uh.

Sir, your orders ready, you want extra soy sauce?

No, whatever's on it will be fine.

Here's your change.

It's okay.

Inspector chan get the chief, tell him it's important.

Siac - = br rea

you son of a... sure, okay.

You should mobilize a SWAT team for Waterloo road.

They're here.

Next.

Huh?

Go get your gun!

You bastard!

Oh, police...

Oh, he just hit him!

What's going on? Hey!

He's back there. Huh?

Get out of here!

Coming through! Get out of the way!

Come on, get out of here!

Just give me a five. We gotta get rid of chan.

Give me yours!

Ow, ow!

Freeze, down on the ground!

Call the police, go on, go!

Get out of here! Let's get out of here.

Follow me!

Come on, go, hurry!

Come on!

This way.

Come on! Get out!

Hold it! Come on!

Get back, lady.

Oh!

Don't shoot!

Break the lock, Gabe, hurry!

Stand back!

Dammit.

Wait!

Look.

I got him now.

Hold it, move and you're dead.

I said hold it!

Bastard!

You wanna kill me, huh, is that right?

What are you gonna do pull the trigger?

What happened to you, hung?

Did you go bad all at once or in stages!

A good officer is dead because of you!

And I would have been the next.

Were you gonna kill every cop in town?

If that's what it took.

I always played by the rules and what have I got?

I got nothing, that's all.

And yet animals like wong, they have millions.

It was time to redistribute the wealth.

It's my pension, it's my reward

for being such a good public servant all those years.

You tell me, where have you taken Mr. wong?

Where is he, where?

Kill me or let me go.

Where's wong?

Where's the hostage, tell me right now!

Go screw yourself.

Tell me or I'm gonna take you apart piece by piece.

Come on you scumbag.

We're gettin' out of here.

Mommy, mommy!

Help!

Help mommy, I'm scared.

Wait, where are you going?

Come back, chan!

Don't worry, we'll get you out.

Hold on to me.

Wait, open the door, wait!

Hung, for god's sake, open the door!

You son of a bitch!

Help!

Huh?

Now you wait here, I'll be right back.

Don't go anywhere.

Hung, wake up, you gotta get out of here.

Just let me die here.

Forget it, you're leaving with me.

Don't bother, I won't tell you where wong is.

I'm still moving you out.

I can't move this one.

You've lost your mind, get out of here, go!

Oh, I'll go all right, as soon as your lips...

Go on, I'm... don't give up.

We still have a chance.

When I pull, move yourself out.

Impossible, I'm too weak.

Forget it, take the boy and go.

There must be a way to lift this up.

You've got to save the boy while you can.

Get out of here now, chan, before this place blows.

I'll find some help and I'll be back.

Wait. Huh?

Listen, fat key has wong, on the ocean, the Yang chow.

Come on!

My son.

My son, my son.

Oh, thank you, sir, thank you.

Get me a phone!

Heave to and come about, prepare for boarding.

Come on, hung, we're in trouble.

Why don't you answer the phone?

We have to do something and soon.

If they search the boat we're dead.

They execute kidnappers.

Drop him overboard.

Don't fire, we're shutting down our engines.

Eat up, old man this is gonna be your last meal.

Is everything in order?

Yes, sir. All right.

Okay.

You seem well.

Here you should put this on.

Can we go please?

All the paperwork is done.

All right, we're all set, you may leave.

Thanks for all your help, commissioner,

it's much appreciated. Certainly.

I'll be in touch, thanks again.

Goodbye. Thank you.

Mm-hmm. Goodbye.

Finish up this report.

Yes, sir.

Wong you have to have a rest from all this.

We should leave for a while.

We'll never really rest until we leave Hong Kong forever.

Mm-hmm, all right.

Oh wait!

You did it, you saved my husband's life.

Be well, thank you.
