This is my first mission.

I want to shoot the whole process.

Human memories are too complicated.

As time passes, you may deceive yourself.

But videos won't lie.

Last month, a shootout between police and criminals...

left five police officers dead.

Seven police officers are still in critical condition.

In this mission code-named Panther Killer, Panther Duen, the younger of two brothers...

responsible for many armed robberies and operating a drug trafficking syndicate...

will go to court to attend a hearing held two hours later.

Apart from the HK Police...

Interpol agents sent from HK, China, America and England...

who will help to prosecute Panther Duen have come to give evidence...

that provides the key to destroy Duen's illegal businesses.

- Hello. - Nice to meet you.

- I'm Luo Zai Jun. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

Lady, gentlemen.

Let me introduce to you the officer in charge of this case...

commander Hong Sun.

On behalf of the Hong Kong Police, I thank you for bringing this evidence.

I assure that both you and the evidence...

will be taken to the court under our strictest protection.

Protect us?

I'm in charge of this case.

I won't let anything untoward happen.

This is your final order.

Yes, sir!

Let's go.

"Sixty-one minutes before court"

What are you doing?

It's my first mission.

I want to shoot the whole process.

Human memories are too complicated.

As time passes, you may deceive yourself.

What is recorded is reality.

Sometimes it's not bad to cheat yourself.

At least you can forget the sad stuff.

Don't make things so complicated.

I've forgotten many things, even my mom's birthday.

It's my job to cheat myself.

Otherwise how can I cheat other people?

Isn't it fun being an undercover cop?

In a nutshell, once is enough.

We snipers hope only a single shot will do.

"Forty-three minutes before court"

Miss, what's the matter?

Are you okay?

Do it for me.

Daddy will be home right after work.

What are you doing?

Sit down.

Don't worry.

It'll all be over soon.

"Member of Duen's group"

Get ready.

What the hell?

Watch out!

Move!

Move!

- Freeze! - Hands up!

- Freeze! - Freeze!

Who's that guy there?

- Madam. - What are you doing?

We've been tricked by Hong. Let's go.

Roger.

Nobody's here?

Definitely not.

The real prison van is near the court by now.

Why didn't you tell us?

We're not playing games here!

Calm down...

Attention.

A patrol car has been out of touch in Central for fifteen minutes.

All five police officers and firearms are missing.

- Roger out. - Alpha Team, copy that.

Move out, A Team. Get in the car.

Where are they going?

You punks!

What the hell?

Calling all cars.

The missing patrol car and those firearms are still missing.

B team watch out, ready for action.

What's happening out there?

Sir, that patrol car is in front, and many officers are lying down.

Go and see what's happening.

Calm down, don't move.

Calm down...

Easy!

I've been looking for you.

Cover me.

You cover me!

- Cover me! - You cover me!

Don't do anything stupid!

Please don't.

No, please don't.

You bloody motherf**ker!

"Mission failed, Panther Duen missing"

Sir, please comment...

Sir, what's police next strategy?

Is there any new move?

Sir, will this case be handed over to Interpol agents?

The Panther case is not over yet.

I've no right to send you away.

But if you do anything wrong, I do have the right to arrest you.

"Tiger and Long"

Are you okay, Boss?

Isn't that the car provided for our guests? It's a mess!

Those morons!

- Long. - Yes.

You take care of those punks.

And never, ever let them drive!

- Understand? - Sure.

He's a good dog.

He's Friday, retired due to injury, still on salary.

I'm gonna join him in retirement.

In five days' time.

The head of an international crime syndicate, Panther Duen...

was abducted en route to his court appearance.

Listen to the news!

A cop should be more polite.

You should at least call me "uncle."

My name's Kong Long, I'm your senior.

But you can just call me "Long."

Please turn on the radio, Long.

That's the end of our report.

The HK Police had so many casualties.

And you don't care about it?

Colleagues died, others will take their place.

Who'd go on patrol if everyone went for revenge?

Who'd arrange your meals and transport if I went off like that?

Do your part or the world will be a mess.

I agree.

There's a pub near your place, open twenty-four hours.

Call me if you need me, anytime, no problem.

- Sister. - Good morning.

Brother.

What are you doing here?

That's a big case, you gotta go back.

I've brought you something.

Have you found out who they are?

I've told you many times.

Do your best.

Come and eat.

Don't worry about me.

I'm used to being here all these years.

You still have a chance.

You've gotta do your best.

Uphold the family name.

Understand, Lok?

Sure. Now eat something.

"Tiger Licking His Wounds"

Be sharp...

Hey, what are you up to?

Give me one minute and I'll show you.

Be sharp...

No money, no play.

You're a sharpshooter.

Somebody's waiting for you.

I'll cover you this time.

Can I try it?

A lefty sharpshooter indeed.

I admire you.

Awesome!

- You're great! - Okay.

This is marksmanship.

I only learned to shoot on the move.

I'm not used to standing still.

Please give me the chance.

Let me borrow the gun.

Let me shoot the rest.

Thanks.

This is what a sniper does.

I find that...

we're very much like a team.

Team?

Why not?

They're well organized, obviously not just a local triad group.

They use military tactics.

I'm sure the sniper is a female.

I hacked into the HK Police records.

Apart from the sniper's weapon...

their guns are those used by the local police.

One officer was killed with a knife.

One slash, very skilful.

How did Tiger Duen get such a formidable group?

Guys, I think the target won't come out unless we take action.

I know what you're thinking.

Let's go to Tiger's place to take a look.

This is it.

Do you know how much they earn from this street?

Drugs, gambling, prostitution; visible and invisible...

on the street and underground.

$10 million a night.

Those gangsters have changed their working hours.

- Packing up so early? - Let me ask you.

Do you think these gangsters don't want to make money?

Unless their boss is in trouble.

Which means Panther wasn't rescued, but captured.

Long.

Who do you think did it?

This is a great location.

Somebody wanted to rent it.

We'll close the deal in two days' time.

Make your decision.

Or I can't help you anymore.

Yuet, Sarge.

Remove his blindfold.

Ko?

My brother will give your money back!

Let me go...

I never owe anyone.

And I don't like...

to be owed.

I'll give you everything back.

Please let me go...

Let me introduce my new friend.

This is Petros.

Dominic's older brother.

No, it was an accident.

I don't mean to, no, I didn't kill him.

It's okay.

Dominic was a wild one.

He spent his whole life trying to get himself killed.

Yeah.

All things are negotiable, except the truth.

And every lie has a price.

Do it.

I want to see Tiger Duen.

What do you want with the boss?

It's Panther's ear!

Nobody move!

Tell Tiger that his old buddy came by.

He knows what I want.

- Ching. - Tiger?

Help me send some messages, I gotta work.

Got it.

How are you doing?

I'm fine, don't worry.

I've been busy lately.

I'll come to see you soon.

Okay.

Be careful.

Some colleagues say Long walks his dog here every day.

That Long has such an odd character.

I'm afraid he won't help us.

Don't worry.

Asking for help is easier for women.

I'll handle it.

I want to know something about you HK cops.

What do you want to know?

For example.

Do you need permission before you date a colleague?

And, have you ever fallen in love with your partner during a case?

I did worse than that.

I fell in love with my target when I was an undercover.

Do you believe it?

Thank you, come again.

Pretty girl?

He's still young at heart.

What's the matter, sir?

- Where's your boss? - He hasn't come back yet..

Hasn't come back? Don't you know me?

Sir.

Need some help?

It's fine, everyone needs help sometimes.

Let me help you now, you can help me some other time.

What're you doing here?

Village boy! Which gang are you with?

I'm afraid I can't speak well.

You talk with them.

Come on.

Suet.

Are you trying to smash up the shop?

Watch out!

Wait.

Excuse me.

- Thank you. - Thank you...

You're welcome.

Honestly, you should thank him.

I don't need your help.

I don't need your help!

I still care.

Care?

Why didn't you care about Mom and me before?

I had so much work to do, I...

You always have so many excuses.

Your work's important, isn't it?

You didn't even see Mom before she died!

So many lives depended on me.

I was the commander. I had to be responsible!

I know, you only care for your colleagues!

Go to them then.

Why do you come to me?

I know I was wrong.

Can't you give me one more chance?

I didn't need your help before.

I don't need it now.

I won't need it in the future.

I don't want a father like you!

I'll do what I promised.

Based on the way they acted, I'm sure they're special agents.

They break every rule and it's hard to deal with them.

You won't find them using normal methods.

They're probably hiding in the city as normal citizens...

and planning their next move.

Panther is the deputy and has no real power.

I don't think he's their target.

It's his brother, Tiger Duen.

Which means if we get to Tiger Duen, we'll find the agents as well.

Tiger Duen has four special bodyguards.

They're known as the Power Four.

You've got to put them under surveillance.

Look.

"From Hung Kei Lok, James Lam"

"Yu Ching"

"Yu Ching, Tiger's former mistress"

"Now working as an escort at a club"

"Kong Long"

"Driver of the Traffic Division at Central"

"Former superintendent at the Wan Chai Crime Unit"

"Previously superior of Hong Sun"

"Demoted due to an unauthorized action at the Wui Mei Bank heist..."

"which resulted in the death of six officers"

"Ko Tung Yuen"

Kong Long.

Ko.

You're good.

Have to be good.

I knew you'd come to find me.

Do you know why?

My face still burns.

"The Tactics"

So, how is your old friend?

Sharp as ever.

He's not alone this time.

Anything to drink?

No.

Sorry.

You've never known famine.

I've seen men kill for less than this.

They're just kids.

Target practice for your team.

But Tiger, he's been playing this game for a long time.

He won't fold his hand unless we force him to.

What's our strategy, Colonel?

There's an old Chinese saying.

"You won't cry..."

"until you see the coffin."

My team will handle Tiger.

And I'll find the girl.

Excuse me.

- Do you speak English? - Yes.

Good, can you tell me the easiest way to get to Hollywood road?

Boy, I'd love to help you, but I'm a tourist here myself.

That's why you're taking so many pictures.

- That's right. - Right.

Okay, all right. Well, thanks anyway.

Oh, it's you again.

Hello.

This I know you can help me with.

Would you read my fortune for me?

What do you want to know?

I'm looking for a young woman.

Do you think I'll find her?

Doesn't look so good. See right here.

It says you'll be facing many obstacles.

Well, eliminating obstacles is my specialty.

Maybe I can help you.

Why don't you give me your number?

No, I think it's better that we remain strangers.

At least give me your name.

You already know it!

Crap!

"Yu Ching"

Bye...

- Ching. - Wah.

Working as a hostess again? Come and be my girl.

- Yeah, come with Wah. - I have to go.

Don't be stuck up, get in.

- You think you're so special? - No, Wah.

Are you okay?

Okay.

Thank you.

- Busy body? - No, Wah!

How dare you fight back.

- No, Wah! - Ching, stay away.

- It's my fault. - Stand still.

No, Wah!

Don't move!

- Cops! Run, Wah. - No, Wah!

- Are you okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.

I'm so sorry.

It's all right.

Thank you.

Are you sure you're okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

Besides, it looks like your shoes get the worst of it.

Thanks again.

Good night.

"Appeasing The Dead"

Why do you come to see me so late?

Tiger Duen.

We businessmen should pay back what we owe.

This is for your dead comrades.

And this is for you.

You owe a lot more than this.

Bat.

Business transactions must be fair.

This is for my brother's ear.

Do you think by capturing my brother you can get all my money?

Ko, either take it and let my brother go...

or I'll kill you.

Perhaps you'll decide to pay it if we make you cry...

in despair!

For you.

Grenade! Run!

Soy sauce?

Freeze!

Don't run after him..

Let's go!

Take the gun!

Shoot!

Shoot him!

I've no time to play with you.

No, Tiger!

Let's move out.

It's time for the next show to start.

Yes, Colonel.

Drop the gun!

- Freeze! - Go ahead and shoot me!

- Drop your gun! - Go ahead and shoot me!

Police! Freeze!

And the two of you.

Drop the gun!

Drop your guns!

Raise your hands!

Can't you give them one more chance?

Remember how your colleagues died?

It's because you didn't follow the orders.

- You didn't wait for backup. - That was my fault.

These other guys.

I'm sure they're Ko's agents.

I know.

I know how to deal with him.

Hong, stop deceiving yourself.

Don't sacrifice your men for the sake of fame.

Work with the other departments.

Listen to me.

Give yourself and those kids a chance.

Honestly, it's Kong Long who saved you.

You guy should say thank you.

Let's get some exercise.

I'm with you.

I've jogged on this road for decades.

But I'll still get lost if I'm careless.

It's not easy to follow the right track.

You'll find your legs getting heavier.

Until one day, you'll ask yourself why you're still going on.

In just a few days, I'll be off for good.

What happened three years ago wasn't your fault.

No one should blame you for the death of your colleagues.

You shouldn't hide away.

You shouldn't feel regret.

Let me tell you a story.

I was only ten in 1992.

My dad was a cop.

He and his eight colleagues had a gun battle with a gang.

They took forty-seven shots in total.

What happened?

Four cops died.

My dad was one of them.

Thirteen years later.

Their children became friends.

Three of them became cops.

And I'm one of them.

Do you know how we feel when people talk about our fathers?

We feel so proud.

We're proud of them.

Sir.

We need you to take on the agents.

Let me give you some advice.

You can't beat them.

That's why we need a leader like you.

I once was lost and it was so hard to find myself.

I don't want to take the wrong road again.

If you insist, do it yourselves.

I hope you all make it back safely.

Kong Long.

We can do it without you!

"The Glass Slippers"

Please.

Make yourself at home.

Would you like a drink?

Yes, thank you.

Tell me, where are you from?

I was born in the States, but I left home when I was fifteen.

Spent some time in Central America, Colombia mostly...

then Eastern Europe.

Now I live in Thailand.

Are you here on vacation?

Yeah, I guess you could call it that.

I love to watch them fly.

They are so free up there.

Look, this is my younger sister.

She's cute.

This doll was a present from my boyfriend when he still loved me.

He made me promise to keep it.

I kept my promise.

But he did not.

- Here. - For me?

Yes, I wanted to give you something because...

you were so nice to me the other night.

Do you like them?

They're beautiful.

Allow me.

Now, you can go to the ball.

What?

Like Cinderella.

Are you all right?

Whenever I'm happy, I get scared.

I know I'll be sad again soon.

Do you know why the little angel doesn't have a mouth?

Because she likes to keep secrets?

You will find a smile on her face when you are happy...

and a sad face when you're upset.

She can share all your feelings.

There's a little business I need to take care of.

Would you like to come with me?

Sure.

Okay. A little female charm is good for business.

"Crime Unit secret record: Mission Draw The Ghost Out"

"Objective: entrap the international mercenary group"

"Commander for the mission: Hong Sun"

Sir...

There are four observation posts on rooftops.

Two teams of snipers will stand by to guard all the exits of this building.

We have our men on both the sixth and seventh floors.

Divided into four units to guard the two main routes.

Especially the ninth floor.

We have deployed eight top sharpshooters.

Well done.

Once they come to get Tiger, there's no way out.

The HK Police will keep you safe.

Those agents will be punished according to the law.

Aren't you going to tell me what's in the box?

That was my partner.

He said if I don't deliver this now, I might not be able to.

I'll wait for you.

It may take a while.

There are cops on floors six and seven and on the roof.

The special unit have Tiger on the eighth floor.

I can take care of the cops.

You can send the present to Tiger.

Which team do you belong to, sir?

I asked you which team you're in!

It's him. Tell all units to get ready.

Yes, sir!

The target's approaching the HQ.

Everybody get ready.

The snipers on the rooftop will provide cover.

Sir, leave!

Now you know how it feels to lose a brother.

But don't worry.

You'll be with him soon.

In hell.

I showed him the coffin, Colonel. I'm coming out.

Ching.

Petros.

What are you doing here?

I said I'd wait.

I was worried about you.

Come on.

Come on.

Target found.

It's the man I met in the temple.

He's with Tiger's girlfriend.

Don't let them go!

So many people died.

Take action right now!

You have to leave, now.

I knew this would happen.

No, that's not what I meant.

It's okay. We don't owe each other anything.

It's only temporary. Trust me.

Lies always sound better than the truth.

I'm not lying to you.

I wouldn't do that.

Promise, bring it back to me.

They're trying to trap you, Lieutenant.

Your escape route's blocked.

You take care of the two in front.

I'll handle the two behind.

Sniper, ready!

James, ready.

Suet, ready.

We'll follow your instruction, Ho.

Ho, ready.

Here!

Reload!

Reload!

They've stopped moving.

James, Suet.

They're going to combine fire to escape.

Move in when they reload!

Go!

Petros!

- Go! - Go!

They changed tactics.

Go back and block them!

You go ahead, I'll cover you.

No, I won't let you die like your brother.

I'll cover you. Go!

Petros!

Yuet, we need covering fire.

Bat, Yuet, move out!

Suet, watch out!

Suet!

Suet!

"The Quietest Night"

Hello Mom, how are you?

"Lam's residence, please leave your message after the tone."

"Thank you."

Mom, I think I've got to stay for a few more days.

Hong Kong cops are hopeless.

They said they can't do without me.

I will be back.

I will.

Bye.

You've been saying you'd quit smoking.

But you're still doing it.

You can deceive yourself for years.

Until the day you die.

I should have listened to you.

I'm not able to bear all the responsibility.

You are deceiving yourself too.

You can never forget the battle three years ago.

If I had just one more day.

I'd give myself another chance.

Boss.

I'm out of time.

Tomorrow is your last day as a cop.

Give yourself a chance...

and those kids as well.

We'll go first, see you.

I can handle it. Have fun.

Let me open it.

I'll do it myself.

I've applied so many times for her to come and see me.

But she never did.

I didn't want to blame her.

I just wanted to ask her...

if she really loves me.

My brother always wanted to be a good cop.

But he was paralyzed in a car crash after two years in the force.

I became a cop because of him.

I hoped to share my experience with him.

But sometimes I think...

I'm his only family member.

What if something happened to me?

Who'd look after him?

Brother.

I don't know when I'll see you after tomorrow.

I know you have high expectations for me.

But I hope you know that...

whether I can catch this gang or not...

I have done all I could.

I find that...

we're very much like a team.

"The Final Battle"

Stop!

Come with us. We have orders to have you deported.

Stop it.

Don't move.

Bring them back!

Get in the car!

What're you looking at?

One of you died.

So did my old friend.

Read them all within ten minutes.

The Duen brothers have run guns and drugs for years.

All firearm and drug dealers have...

a bank account number and a password stored somewhere.

No mark, no trace.

Their underground capital exceeds two billion.

The numbers are all on a film roll.

And that is the Duens' most precious asset.

And so it's the agents' prime target.

Nobody ever knew where Tiger hid it.

They let Tiger go to push him to the wall.

If Tiger runs, he must bring the film with him.

As he dares not appear in public now, he must have someone to take it for him.

I know who she is.

If you don't act today, you'll never get another chance.

Will you come with me to catch them?

Come, or stay!

Count me in.

We must go together and come back together!

Yes, sir!

"Get Away"

Hello.

Tiger here.

Take the stuff from the safe for me.

I'll call you then.

Make sure no one follows you.

Ching, you're my only hope.

Got it.

Petros, sorry, he just phoned me.

I have to help him one last time.

I owe him.

All right. Well, you go ahead, I'll wait for you.

And we'll leave together. Don't worry.

How did they get here so fast?

If she takes it out and the gang gets close to her...

it's game over.

Jun.

Sniper in position.

The girl's out. Shoot the tyre of her car.

Yes, sir.

Petros, I don't believe it.

I've got a flat.

Don't worry, I'll come pick you up.

Ching, Petros told me to get you.

You are...

I'm his friend.

It must be Kong Long.

Have you got onto the highway?

Yes, sir.

Leave the highway at the second intersection and turn right.

There's an abandoned power plant three kilometers away.

You bring the girl there and I'll trap the gang there.

All right, sir.

My boss.

Hello.

Ching, put my friend on the phone, will you?

Petros.

Yes.

Now I can add chauffeur to your list of talents.

Thank you very much.

Well, you're very welcome.

Like I said, you'd be facing many obstacles.

How come there's a car following us?

Is someone causing you trouble?

I'll deal with it.

Let's go from this side.

You're not getting away!

Sir, their sniper is following me.

Great! Draw her away as far as possible.

Yes, sir!

Ho, Ko and Petros are here.

Lure them to the second floor.

No problem, Boss.

Someone's playing games.

Let's go teach them the rules.

- He's here. - Let's finish it.

No! It doesn't seem right.

I must face him alone.

You'll have your revenge.

No one will ever replace my brother.

But you come pretty close.

It's an honour, Colonel.

See you after the mission.

How can we get out of here?

We can take a taxi.

We won't find a taxi here.

We're in a hurry. Please drive faster.

Sure.

Long, I've finished off the big dude!

James, don't underestimate him!

"Pak Yut Suet"

What I haven't finished three years ago, I'll finished it now.

Let it end the way it began.

Give yourself a way out.

A defeated soldier...

has only one way out!

Lok, Petros will show up anytime. Watch out.

Don't worry. Let me cover you.

I won't let Petros get close to you.

Ching.

Okay, I'll be there soon.

Petros is right behind you.

Don't move. Let me deal with him.

Don't act alone.

Find Tiger, leave him to me.

Lok.

Hello, fortune teller.

Where is Lok?

- Hello, Ching. - Petros!

Where is your friend?

I'm afraid he had to leave us.

Where did your boyfriend ask you to meet him?

In the cinema.

Stay here.

Ching.

Let me deliver it.

Why?

Because I don't want you to see him again.

He's in house two, row ten.

You think you're so smart, stealing my girl?

Go ahead, open the box.

That's what I like about Ching.

Whatever lie you tell her, she'll believe.

She's worth more than you know.

That's the difference between you and me.

I never lie to her.

Lok!

Get him, go!

Move! Get out of the way! Police!

This was my first mission.

I've already shot the whole process.

Human memories are too complicated.

As time passes, somehow you may deceive yourself.

I used to believe that what I recorded was reality...

until that night when I returned to that pub...

and sat where Petros had sat.

I saw her again.

She looked so different today.

I suddenly realized...

what I recorded might not be real after all.

When you believe in something

it will become the truth.
