Cold War Page #3

I absolutely have this authority.

I've served two commissioners before.

Neither of them ever made

such a request for our department.

That's because they didn't know how to.

Listen to my order now.

Without my approval,

don't release articles 8 to 10 to the public.

Understand?

The operation is still going on.

I agree to coordinate with you.

But on the state of emergency,

I can't keep it confidential for you,

because every Hongkong citizen has the right to know

about the safety of where they live.

If you don't withdraw your request,

I won't go.

Which is more important?

The public's right to know of the safety of police officers?

News and safety are separate things.

If you want me to ignore established procedures and

follow your order,

this is rule by an individual, not rule by law, sir

Phoenix, are you implying that

I'm abusing my duty?

I don't mean that.

Do you know I can suspend your duty immediately?

I know.

The Commissioner and Acting Commissioner have such an authority.

What are you here for?

I want to discuss something with you.

Call all detectives with inspector rank or above to come over.

Have them bring their pistols. All of them.

What's it about?

Lee.

I think it's too much.

That's why you call up so many constables to surpress me?

I don't mean that.

"I don't mean that"?

You two match each other.

I heard you used to date.

No wonder you spoke the same way.

Lee.

The EU van belongs to New Territories South.

Their head should take charge.

This is headquarters.

You and I have our duties.

Normally, the Deputy Commissioners

and even the Acting Commissioner shouldn't be directly involved.

In other words, you also think

I'm abusing my power?

I understand how you feel

but I worry that your emotions affected your judgement.

I'm asking you. Yes or no?

Yes.

Lee. The case is serious.

But objectively speaking, your reaction is over the top.

Sean Lau. You should know that

I don't need any reason

to suspend you from duty immediately.

I know.

But I have that power too.

With what you just said,

plus these few constables,

it's enough for me to charge you with insulting your supervisor.

Albert, go out with Lau.

Albert

take them away.

Pulling out a gun? What are you doing?

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

Put down your gun. Stand at the back.

This has never happened before.

Not since I became a cop.

If this happened in the front line, it'd be a war.

I'm now the Acting Commissioner.

At 09.06, Sean Lau,

I officially suspend you from duty.

Lee, there are rules in the Police Force.

If a case involves a relative,

one should make a declaration.

I'm not commanding the operation because of my son.

You obviously failed to do so.

It proved that your judgement was in question.

It's not a matter of which region or department.

I question your ability.

Fairly speaking you should hand over your power. This'll be best for everyone.

This time the hijackers are exploiting our communication system's loopholes.

It's a terrorist attack sorry Deputy Commissioner M.B.Lee.

If you disagree, don't question my command!

-- I'll temporarily halt your duty under the Public Interest and Safety Ordinance

--Don't form any factions in front of me!

I won't be afraid of you even you have Security Bureau support.

Bullshit

Are you trying to seize power?

Do you have enough votes?

Sir

What is it?

The Commisioner's call

He's asking for the chief commander of Cold War

Is this the COmmissioner's idea?

Lau,

are you in charge of Cold War now?

Yes.

Is Lee around?

He's right here.

Vincent and Albert are around too.

Good.

I'll take the earliest flight back.

Lau and Lee,

don't let the situation get any worse

That's all. Keep in contact.

Yes, sir. Thank you sir.

Attention please.

Acting Commissioner M.B. Lee just surrendered power

in operation Cold War

for personal and health reasons.

In accordance with Police Ordinance Chapter 232 Section 16

gazette police officers and at least two deputy commissioners

have concurred that from now on,

At 09.12

Deputy Commissioner Sean Lau

will be Acting Commissioner

and chief commander of operation Cold War

Listen, you should all know that we are now

at a disadvantage in terms of time and situation.

We have to strike a balance

between maintaining Hongkong safety

and rescuing the hostages.

First, remove all emergency status warnings.

All departments, including PTU,

G-4 and SDU,

should resume normal duties.

We can't let the hijackers know

we made such a huge deployment because of them.

Second, considering this could be a long fight,

I now assign Senior Superintendents Vincent Tsui and Albert Kwong

as deputy commanders of operation Cold War.

Members in the provisional command centre

need to set up a duty roster:

two shifts for the command centre and

three for other departments,

to be in force until the case is closed

or Commissioner Tsang returns.

Go to work!

Hello

Who are you?

Why is my colleague's mobile in your hands?

Who are you?

My surname is Lau, Sean Lau.

There are three people in the Police Force with the same name.

One in the marine police,

one is a constable,

another is the Deputy Commissioner of Police.

I'm the Deputy Commissioner.

I'm asking you

why our colleagues's phone is in your hands

Watch you manner when you talk to me.

How will you release the hostages?

Don't talk to me before you're well prepared.

Remember, your cops are in my hands!

And, you're not Sean Lau.

Tell Sean Lau to answer my call in three minutes.

The phone signal started from Ting Kau Bridge northbound

towards Castle Peak Road.

Total duration 28 seconds.

The suspect should be in a vehicle.

Get video footage from Transport Department.

I want his psycho analysis

and risk assessment. What SIM card is he using?

Which mobile phone?

I want all this immediately.

Yes Sir.

Johnny Wong just died.

May, inform Phoenix

and the welfare section.

Tell them to send people to the hospital.

How much more time?

45 seconds

Hello

Commissioner Lau.

How should I call you?

Commissioner, are you well prepared?

$93.2 million.

I can only prepare it in Hongkong dollars.

Get it ready before 3:30.

I'll tell you how to hand it over.

How is it?

Albert

Yes?

We shouldn't all stay and use up our energy here.

You sign off first

Lau.

Let me go to the vault.

Mr Luk sent this to me.

He wanted me to hand it to you.

He said you know what it is.

Mr Tsui, I have a few words for you.

Lau.

Hello?

Do you have the cash with you, Commissioner?

Yes.

Let me tell you. Your calculation is wrong.

I can't wait any longer.

I want $33.33 million in cash.

You have half an hour to prepare it.

Also don't bother to trace me.

I'm at Chung On Street in Tsuen Wan.

Hurry.

After deducting $33 million, around $60 million remains.

Lau, just a few words.

The vault's director William Ngai

reminded me before I left that

in case we don't us the whole sum,
