Son, come here.

Give me some luck.

Pull slowly...

Get lost!

You're not allowed to fish here!

Get out of here!

A Hoyanaian boat! They're here to steal our fishes again!

We have the right to fish here!

lt's our ocean! lt's our fishes!

lt's our territory! Scram!

Get lost!

This is Hoyanaian waters, foreign fishing boats are prohibited.

We are the Coast Guard, leave immediately!

General Casa,

Hoyanaian Coast Guard killed them.

This is an act of war!

War! War! War...

Hello, Dr. Raw.

How's your father?

He passed away last month.

l'm sorry to hear that.

Your father will be forever missed.

Nevertheless, it's business as usual, General.

Your order has arrived.

l have prepared your order, too.

We will win this war.

Really?

At all costs.

Then you'll need more...

lethal weapons.

l want them all!

The more lethal...

The more it'll cost you.

Don't you dare gouge me!

Your father never did that.

lt's a "perfectly competitive market".

You can buy from other dealers...

When your nation is recognized by other countries.

Fuck other countries!

Fuck the whole world!

Relax, relax...

ln the meantime, l'm at your service.

You know...

Cigars are only expensive

because they're embargoed.

Deal.

Your order will be delivered.

ln eastern Africa's White Elephant Bay,

the conflict between

Loklamoa and Hoyana over territorial waters

has dragged on for six months.

Loklamoan leader General Casa has vowed to

fight to the end to defend its sovereignty.

Since Loklamoa is not a UN member nation,

the Security Council is unable to intervene...

About your wedding...

l'm not going to make it.

l invited all of our colleagues.

l hesitated a long time about inviting you.

But you seem fine to me.

And our split was so long ago...

One year and eight days.

l've had your stuff for a year,

you never picked it up.

And l took care of...

the child sponsorship you mentioned before.

There's a gift in there.

Chuck it if you don't like it.

You didn't have to say that.

You're always like this.

You're too blunt.

You can't just let things slide.

Strong typhoon Poseidon is approaching Hong Kong.

At 9:10 pm, the Weather Observatory

raised the Number 8 Typhoon Signal.

Poseidon is situated

500 km southeast of HK,

moving west at 50 km per hour.

Wind speed at the core has reached

200 km per hour...

The engine's out of order.

Captain...

We're just 100 knots away from Hong Kong.

We need to switch on the AlS and call for help.

We can't do that.

lf not, we'll all die very soon!

You die first.

You, stay focused!

ln its annual report, HK Customs says

it cracked 7,078 smuggling cases last year,

seizing HK$3.62 billion in smuggled goods.

Among the 7,000 cases we cracked,

175 of them involved import and export

of unmanifested goods,

resulting in the arrest of 284 people.

That is a year-on-year decrease of 14%

and increase of 30%, respectively.

The total value of seized goods rose by 70%

to HK$800 million.

There has been a rise in smuggling by sea

and the money involved in these cases.

Smuggling methods have also become craftier.

Some used instant noodle seasoning packets

or hid liquid cocaine in red wine bottles...

Hey!

l finished the report last night.

Cheung Sir.

Your uniform's ironed to perfection.

You did that yourself?

l did.

My mom ran a cleaner when she was alive.

You changed coffee beans?

You can smell it?

After all these years,

l can smell your coffee a mile away.

lt's from Panama.

Morning, Cheung Sir.

- Cheung Sir. - Morning.

Morning, Cheung Sir.

There are more inbound ships after a typhoon.

Keep an eye on transit vessels.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

Morning, Cheung Sir.

Lai.

Check out that vessel at our 2 o'clock.

KCS Sun, Panamax,

registered in Bermuda.

lt's coming from Braun Bay,

headed for Kwai Chung Container Terminal.

Ben, keep moving.

Yes, sir.

Cheung Sir, there are 89 transit vessels today.

lt's 91.

The transit vessel report was updated a minute ago.

Katie.

You're our cook today.

Yes, sir.

l'm making your favorite.

Katie's a great cook.

Her fiancee's a lucky man.

l haven't congratulated you, Katie.

Customs Declaration, please.

Yes, sir.

Documents, sir.

Thank you.

Cheung Sir, approaching Basalt lsland.

Keep heading north.

Turn back at Grass lsland.

Vessel spotted one knot north of Basalt lsland,

our 1 o'clock.

lt's a small feeder.

Engine's off, anchor's up.

Did the typhoon bring it here?

But Marine Department

didn't get any SOS in the past 24 hours.

No flag, no vessel name.

Very fishy.

Approach it, Ben.

Yes, sir.

The boat's AlS is off.

Slow down.

Copy.

We're Hong Kong Customs.

Respond immediately.

Hong Kong Customs.

Respond immediately.

Your vessel has illegally entered Hong Kong waters.

According to Section 17BA of the HK Customs and Excise Ordinance,

we're going to exercise our right to board and search your vessel.

Stay alert.

Cheung Sir, lifeboat!

Rescue and detainment!

Watch your backs!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

Cheung Sir, it's clear.

Come back first.

Yes, sir.

Cheung Sir!

A black RlB at the bow!

Ben, intercept that RlB!

Yes, sir!

Ben, get us closer.

Yes, sir!

Calling Cheung Sir.

We've found two dead foreign men.

Lower.

- Careful. - OK.

Count everything.

OK.

Calling Command. We're sending 8 corpses.

Come on.

Go forward.

Yes, sir.

Stop!

Magnify that.

Yes, sir.

Cheung Sir.

The 8 bodies we found

all died of gunshots.

Captains of smuggling vessels are ruthless.

They worry their crew would talk if they're arrested,

so they kill everyone before abandoning ship.

Calling Cheung Sir.

Roger.

The hospital called.

The foreign detainee's dead.

Understood.

Nothing here.

Cheung Sir, l got something!

What's the status?

This way, sir.

- OK. - Kwok Sir.

Kwok Sir.

Sir.

Wow.

Well done.

Arms smugglers are outrageous these days.

They're running rampant.

Have you tracked the vessel's origin?

Not yet, sir.

We suspect the vessel's engine failed,

so it drifted into Hong Kong waters.

According to its AlS data,

it was in the Gulf of Thailand last month.

Four months ago,

it was in White Elephant Bay in eastern Africa.

The AlS was off at other times.

We also found

multiple flags in the vessel,

but we haven't traced its registration

or its ownership yet, sir.

OK.

Our colleagues at Ports and Maritime

have done a tremendous job.

Madam Siu.

Does lntelligence and lnvestigation

have anything to add?

We've exchanged intel

with WCO and lnterpol.

A batch of arms were stolen from the Thai army last month.

They arrested a mole in Customs

who confirmed that it's been smuggled overseas.

The Thais have asked to verify if the arms we seized

belong to them.

They'll send Thai lnterpol here next week.

Since arms smuggling involves

cross-border intel exchange,

l believe that

the l.l. branch leading the investigation going forward

would be more efficient.

lf a criminal syndicate is

using HK as a transit point for arms smuggling...

Ports and Maritime is

the front line of this operation

and most capable of grasping the situation.

When it comes to the backgrounds of

shipping companies big and small,

we're the most informed.

Does Kwok Sir think my team

isn't informed enough?

Madam Siu is Hong Kong's WCO representative.

You've always been on top of cross-border intel.

But maybe this time...

You dropped the ball?

A major case like arms smuggling

absolutely calls for cross-branch cooperation in Customs.

When the Thais come, Madam Siu...

you'll welcome them.

Yes, sir.

Kwok Sir...

You'll protect the arms.

Ensure our evidence's safety.

As for the arms' origins and the smuggler...

l want a coaction plan from Madam Siu and Kwok Sir

as soon as possible.

- Yes, sir. - All right.

We're ready.

Great job this time, Nam.

Keep up the good work.

l have high hopes for you.

Thank you, sir.

This op will go swimmingly

under my instructions.

But if we want to break the case,

we do need l.l. branch's help, sir.

You're too nice for your own good.

There are things you just don't get.

There are many levels

of interbranch cooperation.

How so, sir?

lf you find anything,

come to me directly.

Report to no one else.

lf Madam Siu goes to you,

tell her to talk to me.

You know...

The Deputy Commissioner is retiring in 6 months.

l'm your direct superior.

lf l'm good, you're good.

That's what l mean by levels.

Yes, sir.

Smells lovely.

You mean me or the coffee?

You, of course.

What did the doc say?

Acute otitis media.

l'm much better now.

Still get dizziness and headaches?

No...

Thanks to your loving care.

A coffee for your troubles.

l've finally found a blend you like.

Look...

Yeah?

Health is a top priority.

Stop obsessing over beating Kwok Chi-keung.

You're talking like you're my boss.

Yes, this is an order.

This year...

l got divorced, then got sick...

l was lucky to have met you.

Faulty intel.

Hmm?

You didn't meet me this year.

We've known each other for years.

True.

We joined Customs in the same year.

But you're too capable.

You got promoted much quicker than me.

l had my eyes on you...

But you never saw me.

l'm looking at you right now.

A while ago...

You said you wanted to live by the sea

to recuperate...

Feels nice just thinking about it.

But while l can still toil away...

l thought you were done toiling.

l think l have a shot

at being Deputy Commissioner.

Sorry.

Hello?

This is she.

Welcome to Hong Kong.

l'm Athena Siu of Hong Kong Customs.

- Hello. - Hello.

l'm Mark.

l'm Ying.

My parents are Chinese.

You can speak to me in Chinese.

We came to see if the arms

are the ones stolen from our military.

According to the lnterpol database,

there's an arms dealer called Dr. Raw actively involved in

Asia-Africa arms trade and smuggling.

Do you have any intel on this?

Unfortunately, Dr. Raw's real identity is still unknown.

Not even gender or race.

We've been after Dr. Raw for some time.

They've been very prudent and low-key.

What we do know is,

their arsenal even has short-range missiles and submarines.

They also have a huge network

for bribing customs departments

to facilitate their smuggling activities.

They're Thai lnterpol.

Mark and Ying.

Cheung.

Ying.

My team.

All right, let's get to work.

These are our stolen arms.

That's right.

These are the stolen arms.

When can we take them back?

These are our evidence now.

Ours, too.

The evidence is here in Hong Kong.

OK, listen to me.

Let me clarify again, OK?

Take the container!

Let's go!

Stay here!

Mark!

Take cover!

l got the compass!

Mark!

Come back!

Mark!

- Careful! - Mark!

Lai, stay back!

Go see what's going on!

Move it!

Over here!

Come this way!

Check on the injured!

He's not doing well.

He isn't breathing.

First aid kit!

l need a hand!

l know it's because l stayed away

that l never got to see your gift for me.

This present's come too late.

Stay here!

Call in ambulances!

Have the ER ready!

Yes, sir.

lnform the police.

Get the injured to the hospital ASAP!

Yes, sir!

- Stay with me. - This is CCO Fong.

We have many wounded at the scene, over.

At 5 pm today,

armed robbers ambushed a government explosives depot

and exchanged gunfire with Customs officers.

Sources say

many robbers and Customs officers were killed.

Sources also revealed that

the robbers stole a batch of evidence.

ls Karen Ho here?

Ward No. 4.

How are the other officers?

Five are still being treated.

Two serious...

Three critical...

Fai, Kim and Katie are dead.

A million things are out of our control.

But we can at least control our emotions!

Cheung Sir.

Kwok Sir's here.

-Scram. -Yes, sir.

So?

What do we do, Nam?

We've got casualties.

A Thai lnterpol officer is missing.

You tell me what to do.

How do you fix this, Nam?

l told you...

Your position is to protect the weapons

because they're our evidence.

You could just

ignore the goddamn lnterpol.

Screw them!

Why do we have to welcome them?!

You tell me.

Sorry, sir.

Sorry?

That's all you know how to say.

The Commissioner's here.

What is Customs' response?

Sir.

Chan Sir.

Sir.

Madam Siu, Kwok Sir.

The assailants were heavily armed.

l've spoken with the Security Bureau.

They suggest to let Police take over.

Chan Sir...

Their resources

are more sufficient.

But this is Customs' case.

l don't want any more casualties.

We're Disciplined Service, too!

We can't quit for fear of casualties.

Chan Sir...

Customs provisions state that

stopping arms smuggling is part of our duty.

With the case blown up like this,

if we just let another department take over,

we'll lose face.

lt's not about face, it's principle.

Chan Sir.

Talk to the Security Bureau again.

Let Customs carry on with the case.

We'll do all we can to crack it.

When we make arrests,

we'll ask Police for backup.

OK.

Since you're all so determined,

l'll discuss with the Security Bureau.

Yes, sir.

...You failed to evaluate the risk.

l told you to consider levels.

Don't you get it?

Why do you use such subpar thinking?

Sorry, sir.

Sorry is bullshit. l hate sorries.

Sorry means someone's screwed up.

lf you disagree with my instructions, say it.

"Sorry"...

Nam, you know why

you got promoted slower than most?

Because your subpar way of thinking

lead to subpar mistakes.

Hence your subpar post.

Work takes political wisdom.

Kindness and hard work are worthless....

You didn't have to take all the blame.

You're on duty.

Duty?

All l see in my head are

my colleagues getting shot...

And Katie getting shot.

How the hell do l carry on duties?

Respect your uniform!

And respect yourself!

So, this uniform means

l can't mourn my colleagues?!

Do l need their permission to feel?!

lf so, l'll quit tomorrow.

You want to quit on me?!

Tell me.

How many shipping licenses did you get?

How long did you take to get here?

Quitting because you're sad...

Who does that help?!

You disappoint me!

l understand...

A colleague's death

is a huge blow to everyone.

But we have our hands full right now.

Lai!

l want you to stay at your post.

Can you do that?!

Yes, sir.

Nam.

At the meeting today,

The DC blasted Kwok Chi-keung

for failing to protect the evidence.

l'm not surprised.

Kwok must've vented at you.

lt's OK.

His screw-up

will help your promotion.

lt's not about my promotion.

l don't kick someone when he's down.

We all want to solve the case.

l understand.

DC Chan wants to send someone to WCO and

lnterpol's joint operation.

You're experienced in maritime smuggling.

He'll likely send you.

Kwok can't take credit on a joint op.

He'd never agree to join.

Chan Sir will make him.

l won't go.

Why not?

l don't want to be pushed around by Kwok anymore.

Are you serious?

Seriously...

l only want to drink your coffee.

l'll make some now.

Finish your report first.

lt'll take all night.

lf you don't mind...

You can stay with me while l work.

lf you have a choice...

Would you pick beating Kwok for the DC post...

Or live out your life in peace with me?

lf it's up to me,

l'll beat Kwok to get revenge for you first,

After retirement, l'll live in peace with you.

ls that greedy of me?

Why do l always have

to accommodate your plans?!

You're just like Kwok!

l'm at your beck and call!

When l do well,

Kwok gets the credit!

When l screw up, l eat shit!

That's it!

l'm not going on that joint op.

Do l need your permission, Madam?!

Nam...

Nam!

lt's not greedy.

lt's very rational.

Nam.

l know you're under a lot of pressure at work.

When you have time,

see a doctor, OK?

OK.

Finish your report first.

All right.

Doctor...

The medicine makes my mouth dry

and my hands tremble.

Can l stop relying on them?

Remember...

You're not just suffering from depression.

lt's more than that.

lt's bipolar disorder.

...subpar thinking...

Your mood is like a pendulum.

lt swings between two extremes,

affecting your thoughts and actions.

But you have high EQ.

When you're depressed,

you use will power to control yourself

and pretend you're OK in front of people.

That makes you a high-functioning patient.

But when you're manic, you become hyper.

You may be prone to unexpected

or self-harming behavior.

So, you must accept the facts

and take your medicine.

Lai...

Know why l asked you to spar with me?

Because it takes two to spar.

And you know to fold your senpai's robe.

You can't get along with people,

but you respect your teachers.

l don't know how to deal with everyone.

But l respect anything

that deserves respect.

When l'm with you..

You make me reconsider...

ls it more tiring to care...

Or more tiring to not care?

l had good grades when l was little.

But l had no friends.

So, l asked my mother

how l could make friends.

What did she say?

She said l don't need friends.

School is for learning skills.

Work is for making a living.

Your mom must've had no friends.

She had a friend.

But that friend

eloped with my father.

Sorry.

Thank you.

l've never told this to anyone.

Working for you all these years

has taught me an awful lot.

But l can't learn to be as tough as you.

When Kwok Sir barked at me,

l swallowed it...

because l understand that

each person has their place

and their own pressure.

That's why they do certain things

and say certain things.

Once in a while...

l daydream about

buying an island...

Building a house by the sea...

and live in isolation.

But before that becomes reality...

l have to be realistic.

l have to fit in with the system

and with those around it.

l've never told this to anyone, either.

Roger that.

Whatever happens...

Don't work yourself sick.

The White Elephant Bay military conflict is escalating.

This past week alone saw over 700 dead

and 2,000 injured.

The UN Security Council passed a motion

imposing an arms embargo on Loklamoa and Hoyana.

They implore both sides to stop fighting

and negotiate a resolution

to their territorial conflict...

Lai.

Kwok Sir asked for you.

Thanks.

Also, Cheung Sir's on sick leave.

Go get ready.

You're off to the Middle East.

We're joining a WCO

and lnterpol joint operation.

This is the folder password.

Use it to receive e-mails.

Yes, sir.

ls Cheung Sir...

Cheung Sir recommended you.

Do a good job.

lt'll get you promoted.

Word to the wise...

Do what you're supposed to do.

Say what you're supposed to say.

Forget everything else.

Yes, sir.

Also that Thai girl will go with you.

She's lnterpol. She'll be on your flight.

Stay sharp.

OK.

[lncoming call from Lai]

Lai.

Cheung Sir, are you OK?

l'm fine.

lt's nothing.

ln all these years,

you've never taken sick leave.

First time for everything.

Kwok Sir sent me to the Middle East.

l know.

l recommended you.

l wanted to attend Katie

and the others' funerals...

Lai.

Catching the arms smuggler

is how you live up to our colleagues' sacrifice!

Do you understand?!

l understand.

Careful out there.

Any news of Mark?

Sorry, not yet.

Look.

l believe the masked men stole the arms

for this specific item.

Laser gyroscope.

lt's an embargoed military navigation instrument.

Missiles and submarines need it.

Money can't buy it.

Even on the black market,

it's a rare item.

lt was among the arms

the men stole.

WCO and lnterpol

has been on this joint op

for four months now.

Customs and police from many nations are taking part.

They're after transnational black market arms dealers.

This time, my boss sent Mark and l

because we were intelligence agents.

The arms smuggling market

is vast and complex.

ln countries like this one,

guns are cheaper than phones.

lt's normal for kids to be armed.

Your pass, please.

Yes, Madam.

Just there, on the left.

There are arms fairs

for both legit and black market weapons.

ln addition to black market dealers,

defense officials of some nations

frequent these events, too.

This time we have four different products and weapon systems...

...we'll also supply vehicles to the Far East...

...the thermal imager on the front detects temperature...

What do you think?

Earth is a dangerous place.

Mark said that, too.

We've seen enough

unnecessary wars in history.

...these two eight-by-eight amphibious vehicles

really are state of the art...

Yeah...

Yeah?

l'll go to Loklamoa next week to meet you.

Yeah...

OK.

Yeah...

OK.

Come on.

Let's go!

That's Leo.

The masked robber

lying in the hospital in Hong Kong

mentioned that name.

l guessed he'd show up.

That's why we're here.

We suspected that he works for Dr. Raw.

Hey, how's it going?

Good?

Enjoy.

Hey, what's going on, guys?

Good?

You're enjoying the party?

Hey, how are you doing, guys?

Hey!

Hi! Cheers!

Hey!

Hey, lady,

no...

Hey, it's OK, guys...

- Get out! Out! - Cheers!

She's wild.

Your lipstick.

Your lipstick is drugged.

You bitch!

Boss?

[Downloading]

Boss?

l'm comin' in!

Hey, come on!

Untie him!

His wallet's gone!

[Hotel]

l have brought breakfast.

Can you crack it?

lt's done.

Getting this lead

was worth the risk we took.

We have chats and e-mails between Leo and Dr. Raw.

Do you have Dr. Raw's location?

Not yet.

They change lP address every 30 seconds.

But Leo said that he'll be going to Loklamoa.

Maybe Dr. Raw is there.

There's a war there.

Their weapons

were likely smuggled in.

They use a lot of coded messages.

Sausages, artichokes...

They may stand for missiles and rockets.

They also sell "hot dogs" and "submarines".

Leo says that he's found the compass.

Dr. Raw ordered him to find a sail...

Could "compass" be that...

gyroscope?

And the "sail"?

Loklomoa is a coastal nation.

Sail may stand for battleship.

Look here.

Dr. Raw also sells arms to Hoyana.

So, they want both sides to keep fighting.

[Shipment Details]

Look at these e-mails.

They can use cargo ships

to go almost anywhere in the world.

We can be sure that

they have close contact with shipping companies.

The times and dates here

refer to sailing schedule at certain ports.

Hong Kong is one of the ports.

With this data,

Customs can track down

the ships' owners.

They mentioned Hong Kong more than once.

[Shipment Details]

lnterpol's intel indicate

Dr. Raw's network

has bribed customs officials before.

l suspect that Hong Kong Customs...

has a traitor.

- Hello? - Cheung Sir.

lt's Lai.

We found out that Dr. Raw's arms

passed through HK waters before.

Send me the evidence.

There's one more thing...

But we don't have concrete proof.

Say it.

There's a traitor in HK Customs.

To smuggle at this frequency...

The traitor is likely high up.

[Lithium Carbonate Tablets (Antidepressant Medication)]

Morning, sir.

- Morning. - Good morning, sir.

- Morning, sir. - Morning, sir.

- Good morning, sir. - Morning.

Cheung Sir's back.

His vibe is different.

Cheung Sir. l have some

HK entry and exit dates.

These cargo vessels are tied to Leo.

[KCS Shipping Log]

lt's me.

Can we meet?

The UN imposed an embargo on arms.

Firearms trafficking to White Elephant Bay

is illicit.

What does that have to do with us?

According to our records,

there's a local shipping company

whose vessels' HK entry and exit dates

overlap with Dr. Raw's smuggling routes.

That company is KCS.

KCS is smuggling arms?

lt's a huge case.

Follow this path.

Did you report this to Kwok Chi-keung?

Why would l?

Don't you want to beat him?

KCS is registered in Hong Kong,

specializing in Asia-Africa and South America shipping routes.

According to their latest yearly report,

they own 13 Panamax

and 10 feeder vessels.

All registered overseas.

From their past yearly reports,

l found a 11th feeder in their fleet 3 years ago.

The model and manufacture year

match the ship we towed from Basalt lsland.

KCS is a major firm.

lts owner, Kam Wing, is a renowned businessman.

That's why before we act...

l'm briefing you first.

l'm launching an inter-branch task force to investigate KCS.

Madam Siu will have full authority.

All branches are expected to cooperate.

- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

Due to the casualties at the depot last time,

l have permission from the Security Bureau and the police

to attach SDU to our task force

for assistance.

Let's eat!

You're in a good mood today.

Everything's within my control.

l won't be pushed around anymore.

Of course l'm feeling good.

Let's drink.

You should be in a good mood, too.

[lncoming call from Kwok Chi-keung]

Hello, Nam?

Tell me about KC...

l haven't cooked in a while.

l hope it's not too bad.

Rejecting Kwok's call?

l'm off duty.

Here's to...

your impending success!

...impending success!

Hong Kong Customs.

We suspect KCS

of taking part in illegal smuggling.

This is a search warrant from the court.

l've brought in the ones over there.

OK.

A mainframe computer,

Madam.

lf you have a question,

speak to our lawyers.

We're in a meeting, excuse us.

Daddy!

Call the nurses.

Madam...

Marine Department said

a KCS vessel entered HK last month.

There's no outbound record.

Even its AlS signal is off.

lt's vanished.

- Keep tracking it. - Yes, sir.

Good job, Marty.

That's enough.

You two have played enough.

Mary.

Give Marty his bath.

Ask the nurse to take Master's blood pressure.

Yes, ma'am.

l don't need it!

Honey,

this afternoon...

That was an act.

l told you l'm OK.

- l didn't say you're not... - Daddy, Mommy.

Mrs. Kam.

Perfect timing, Au.

We'll do this later.

l'll watch him.

Mr. Kam.

l already shut off the ship's AlS,

painted over the name,

and put up a different flag.

But with Customs at our door...

We can't hide it much longer.

What do we do, Daddy?

KCS is in an impossible spot.

Proceed...

And we get caught.

Stop...

And Dr. Raw will retaliate.

Speak of the devil.

Hello?

Where is my last shipment?

l can't tell you right now.

So you have been holding my shipment to threaten me,

knowing that l have all your forged customs papers

at the different ports.

l'll just have to tell them all about your dirty little business.

Listen.

l'm not going to work with you anymore.

During the global financial crisis,

my father singlehandedly saved your company.

ls this how you repay me?

Your father misled me.

We were supposed to be just transporting regular cargo.

l didn't know you'd put arms in those shipments.

And the shipments got bigger and bigger.

Look, l don't want to be involved in wars or causing death.

We're all going to have to pay for this one day.

Let's see when karma will strike you.

You will regret this!

What did the lawyers say?

According to their analysis...

Customs may let us become witness for the prosecution.

But prosecution witnesses

may still get jail time.

Daddy, at your age...

l won't let my grandson lose his father.

l've weathered plenty of storms

since l founded KCS.

This won't tip me over.

l think you'll need bodyguards

everywhere you go.

We need bodyguards.

Mary...

My mom, Marty and l...

Get us 24/7 protection!

lnterpol got an NGO to put me

in touch with a middleman here.

ls he trustworthy?

No one's trustworthy in a war zone.

We can only hope for luck.

Let them in.

l'll wait for you here.

This way.

Water.

You media people will report the truth?

That's why we came all the way.

General...

So, why war?

Hoyana robbed our country of its natural resources

and killed our people.

And what's worse...

No country in the world cares about us.

No media reports our suffering.

lt is a total disgrace!

But many will die in a war.

Exactly!

That is why we need the weapons.

More weapons, more deaths.

My people would've been massacred

if it were not for the weapons.

Without international recognition,

how did you acquire the arms?

These weapons come from all over the world.

With ivory, we can trade in conventional weapons.

But for more powerful and high-end weapons,

we trade with diamonds.

Since they come from the black market,

we have to pay even more.

And this causes greater hardship for my people.

Whatever the reason,

some people help us solely for the money.

But there are some good people that will side with us.

So, does that make Dr. Raw the good guy or the bad guy?

Dr. Raw?

He is in Loklamoa, right?

Why do you want to know?

We want the world to know.

Hoyana's attacking us.

So, fight!

Quick!

Mommy!

Thank God!

Quick!

- Quick! - Get in the car! Let's go!

Now, now, now! Let's go!

Guest, please wait.

First bow.

Second bow.

Third bow.

Family members, give thanks.

Let's talk, Mr. Kam.

Thank you.

Mr. Kam Lok-man.

l think you know your father's death was no accident.

l came here

to remind you...

Guest, please wait.

First bow...

Local mail, please.

What's in it?

Coffee beans.

Fill out this form.

Welcome home, Mr. Cheung.

[Lithium Carbonate Tablets (Antidepressant Medication)]

[Athena Siu]

[Sender : Cheung Wan-nam Receiver : Athena Siu]

When Mark and l arrived in Hong Kong,

we passed this bridge, too.

When we were in Loklamoa,

Cheung Sir sent me a message.

The police found Mark's body on a beach.

lt probably happened that day...

You're back.

Lai...

Cheung Sir's gone.

Where to?

Cheung Sir is dead.

l've known Cheung Sir for years.

We joined at the same time.

He was a great guy.

l know you were close to him.

lt's normal to be upset.

But in the office,

You have to keep your cool.

How did Cheung Sir die?

The police classified it as suicide.

He jumped from his flat.

Back to the case.

What did you find?

l suspect that Hong Kong Customs has a traitor.

Didn't find a thing.

l knew it, those joint ops

are just for show.

lt's pointless.

After university,

Cheung Sir joined Hong Kong Customs.

He upheld HK Customs' spirit

and served the community...

Cheung Sir had no family?

He was an only son.

His parents have passed.

And he got divorced years ago.

That's why he could work 24/7.

Are you two done?

Like all of you,

l am deeply saddened by his passing.

Cheung Sir may have left us,

but his humble, sincere character

and his nobly cordial nature

are forever deserving of our respect, worthy of our admiration...

Madam, coffee.

l like this blend.

So did Cheung Sir.

What a coincidence.

Your butterfly knot is

the same as the one on his robe.

l don't think it's coincidence.

lt was a gift from him.

l wore it on purpose today.

He wouldn't give it to just anyone.

Cheung Sir had depression.

He didn't seem sick.

Some illnesses are hard to spot.

Cheung Sir has such high EQ.

He hid it well.

He must've wanted to hide it from the bosses.

He didn't allow himself to be weak.

He couldn't accept his illness.

High-functioning means

the sufferer is smart and strong-willed...

So he couldn't have killed himself!

The police made its conclusion.

The police can make mistakes!

Chow Ching-lai, please calm down.

l'm very calm, Madam.

l just don't get it.

No one can fully understand another.

Even so...

We can't conclude so soon that Cheung Sir killed himself.

Cheung Sir's death

must be connected to the traitor in Customs.

What did you say?

A traitor?

You can't make things up.

Where's the evidence?

l found Chueng Sir's second phone.

Not the one he carries.

There may be secrets

in this phone.

He may have known who the traitor is.

l've cracked it.

Cheung Sir's phone is clean.

There aren't many apps on it.

There's only one e-mail in the inbox.

[ldeal lsland Sale Contract]

lt's an island sale contract and receipt.

[Purchaser - Cheung Wan-nam]

Could he afford this?

[Purchaser - Cheung Wan-nam]

[Private lsland Purchase-lsland of Patroklos]

[480 Vitcoin]

lt's a crypto wallet.

lt's the 21st century.

Anyone can buy crypto.

But buying real estate with crypto

means something else.

Cheung Sir was the traitor.

l have faith in his character.

lt's impossible!

You don't need to believe yourself.

Just believe the evidence.

Behind this evidence,

there's evidence you haven't found!

Once in a while, l daydream about

buying an island...

building a house by the sea...

and live in isolation.

But before that becomes reality...

l have to be realistic.

[Purchaser - Cheung Wan-nam]

l know how you feel.

But you should know...

Don't tell me what to think!

For 7 years, l worked with him every day,

solving cases together.

This is how l'm supposed to think.

Cheung Sir is not a traitor.

The truth can be painful sometimes.

But we have to accept it.

Speak.

Dr. Raw, we have arrived in Hong Kong.

They've hid my shipment.

The courier's delayed, and General Casa is getting angry.

Go and tell his son

that l am running out of patience.

Copy that.

- Careful. - Why...

do we have to leave?

Get in, l'll explain later.

Step on it.

Mr. Kam, someone's on our tail.

Madam Siu, it's Lai.

Madam Siu, l spot multiple gunmen.

Careful, we're on the way.

Call police, turn out SDU.

Yes, Madam.

Block those cars, don't let them near us.

What's happening?

Don't ask!

No! Don't!

Hang on.

Hong Kong Customs!

Hang on!

Out of the way!

Search!

Fire!

Bitch, it's you again!

l won't let you go!

Go!

Move!

Hold fire! Hold fire!

Move!

Come on, move!

Move!

Grenade!

Ying!

The police will save Ying.

Where are the Kams?

We're OK now, Mom...

Mrs. Kams,

rest assured, you are safe here.

We will protect you.

Where's Daddy?

Mr. Kam...

l hope you will cooperate with us.

Can you guys...

guarantee my family's safety?

Mr. Kam...

You don't have any other choice.

Can l turn government witness?

We'll absolutely consider it.

l can even help you

apply for Witness Protection with the police.

lf the evidence you provide

help us apprehend the black market arms dealer,

the judge will reduce your sentence.

So, how much do you want?

ls this enough?

[5M USD]

Actually, before you guys

came to raid KCS...

Dad and l were expecting you.

Officer, the documents.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Sure

Yesterday, your company's ship came to refuel.

Your shipping manifest says that

the containers carry only acoustic foam panels.

Your ship hadn't refueled yet.

But l looked at the load line marker...

Half the displacement volume is used.

Should l unload all the containers

and search them all

to see why acoustic foam panels are so heavy?

Cheung Sir.

Since you came here to see me...

l believe it means

we can work together.

Cheung Sir promised not to random-search KCS ships.

KCS Sun, Panamax,

registered in Bermuda.

Ben, keep moving.

Yes, sir.

Giving a false statement is a crime, Mr. Kam.

l'm not, Madam.

[KCS Shipment Arrival in Hong Kong]

lt's me.

Let's meet.

You told me

you were smuggling electronics,

tobacco and food.

But you're smuggling arms.

l was duped, too.

l thought they were just evading taxes.

Now l'm in an impossible position.

Those damn smugglers

have my forged customs documents.

Look...

lnterpol is investigating KCS now.

They'll get to me soon.

You deliberately broke the law!

You want us to take the fall?!

Get us out of this!

- What do you want? - Cheung Sir...

We're in the same boat. l want you out of trouble, too.

How about this?

l'll wire some money

into your crypto wallet.

Leave Hong Kong immediately.

l have a solution...

that can save us all.

Your vessel KCS Moon just arrived.

ls it holding Dr. Raw's cargo?

Hide the cargo.

That's your bargaining chip with Dr. Raw.

Dad decided to hide the vessel.

But he made the wrong call...

Trusted the wrong man.

l think you know

your father's death was no accident.

l came here

to remind you...

For you

and your family's safety...

Find a safe place to hide ASAP.

How dare you come here?

lf you hadn't...

lf you hadn't helped my dad smuggle,

he wouldn't have died!

lf...

it will make you feel better...

You can put the blame on me.

However...

Doing that

won't bring your father back to life,

nor will it square things with Dr. Raw.

The day after Cheung Sir saw you,

he died.

Was it Dr. Raw, too?

The police said it was suicide.

Where's KCS Moon?

Don't worry.

The police will protect your family 24/7.

l told you...

Everyone has greed.

Sunshine Dockyard.

Call Command, take action!

Yes, Madam!

Private property!

What's your business?!

Do we kill her here?

No, bring her along.

We need her as a hostage.

Boss.

This is Hong Kong Customs!

We are Hong Kong Customs!

Stop all vessel operations immediately!

Wait until our customs officers come onboard for inspection!

Stop all vessel operations immediately!

Wait until our customs officers come onboard for inspection!

Keep going.

Go to hell!

Listen!

Your Ying is still in one piece.

Let us go, then she'll be safe.

Madam, they have Ying as hostage!

Out to all!

Hold fire! They have a hostage.

Yes, Madam!

Hold fire! Follow that vessel!

Don't let it leave West Lamma Channel!

Yes, madam!

Hit them with our port side!

Yes, sir!

We're going to crash!

Turn!

Get to the crash!

Madam, are you OK?

l'm OK.

Get going!

lf we die...

You die with us.

Come on, move!

Move!

Give me the RPG!

You want to play?

Let's play!

We're boarding that ship!

Yes, sir!

We'll get them together!

Yes, sir!

Move!

Move it!

Come on!

Come here!

Go!

Move!

Move it!

Run!

Get him. And don't shoot.

Beware of the biochemicals.

Due to an emergency,

evacuate immediately.

Exit the pier.

Due to an emergency,

evacuate immediately.

Exit the pier.

Stop the ship!

Don't move!

Hong Kong Customs!

Come with me!

Chow Sir is still inside!

We'll find him!

Watch the entrance.

Watch the submarine!

lf it submerges, we'll lose it!

[Submarine at 3m Depth]

Get off me!

What the hell are you doing?!

My duty!

We'll drown!

We'll die!

l can hold my breath for four minutes, can you do it?

You're fucking crazy!

[Submarine at 10m Depth]

Members of the media...

l can't reveal much at the moment,

but l can say that

Hong Kong Customs

has stopped a transnational arms smuggling syndicate.

A press release will come later,

Thank you.

- Thanks. - Thanks.

ls the syndicate based locally

or abroad?

Thanks.

Hey...

Why did you save me?

lt's my duty.

Thanks.

l'll get it.

l got it.

l can finally go home.

You miss home?

l miss Mark.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Bye.

Chow Sir.

l forgot to tell you.

l passed a report to a journalist.

lt's about black market arms.

l wrote the weapons in Loklomoa and Hoyana's war

are both provided by Dr. Raw.

Keep it up.

Congratulations on another license.

Promotion's on the horizon.

l don't care much about promotion.

What matters is doing what l love.

What do you want to do in Customs, then?

Being a top brass isn't for me.

lf l can be like you...

l'd be...

very happy with that.

Good.

Thank you

for helping me clean up.

Congratulations on the promotion.

The things l once coveted...

seem meaningless now.

What l didn't treasure before

is what l yearn most now.

l hear that even the police's lT team

couldn't crack Cheung Sir's crypto wallet.

That money might as well be in the sea.

Actually...

We could've gotten to

that ship before Dr. Raw.

Cheung Sir sent this to me via courier,

but the courier van got into an accident.

So, it arrived late.

Athena...

l'm sorry.

l don't know how to face you.

You once said...

You want a house by the sea...

To live out your days in peace.

l've prepared it for you.

[ldeal lsland Sale Contract]

[Purchaser - Cheung Wan-nam]

Then you said you want to beat Kwok Chi-keung

and become Deputy Commissioner.

The Deputy Commissioner is retiring in 6 months.

lf l'm good, you're good.

That's what l mean by levels.

l have a solution...

Hide the cargo.

That's your bargaining chip with Dr. Raw.

A KCS vessel entered HK last month.

There's no outbound record.

Even its AlS signal is off.

lt's vanished.

Local mail, please.

What's in it?

Coffee beans.

l think...

After you crack this case,

you'll be promoted to DC.

You told me

you were smuggling electronics,

tobacco and food.

But you're smuggling arms.

l'm the traitor in HK Customs.

You must be disappointed in me.

Do you believe in karma?

l do.

l deserve it for what l've done.

Mr. Kam,

Dr. Raw's shipment is seized in dangerous goods store.

l can't get it out.

l live in pain and remorse every day.

My condition keeps my brain at war every day.

lt's torture.

l don't think l can stay by your side anymore.

l only hope that

in my next life...

l'll be a man you can truly admire.

l don't know if...

l'll see you in the next life.

l will.

l kind of look forward to it.

What about you, Cheung Sir?

Want to be Commissioner?

l want to go over there.

Where?

A place where l call the shots...

You got to know what you want in life.

l think it's more important to hold firm on our moral boundary.
