Cold War Page #4

Synopsis: In the safest city in Asia, the Hong Kong police department has been untouchable for years. Until one night the police headquarters receives an anonymous call after a fully loaded police van, carrying five highly trained officers and equipment, disappears off the gird. After receiving several cryptic phone calls from the hijackers one officer starts realizing they're aware of every crucial decision they make. But as they execute a carefully planned attack, little do they know they've become unwitting pawns in a bigger, more dangerous game.

we can return what's unused to the vault right away.

He doesn't want to get in trouble.

Use a dog van.

Got it.

Deliver the remaining sum back to the vault by dog van.

I will. Be careful.

What to do with this Lee guy?

His life is more valuable than these people together.

Don't let him die.

Change the location now.

The cash is ready. How to hand it over?

Come alone.

Do you drive?

Yes, I do.

CQ, CQ.

Lau.

I have deployed three teams to back you up.

What car do you drive?

BMW 5 Series, black.

Plate number?

KM1605

Where are you now?

Leaving the car park.

Go to Arsenal Street, turn left into Harcourt Road.

Copy, Car 1 will wait at the Western Harbour Tunnel entrance.

I've changed my mind. Get out of the car at the block ahead.

Take the bridge and go to the Star Ferry pier

IFC is on Lau's left

Four Seasons Hotel in the front

Star Ferry pier on his right.

Vincent, counting on you now.

Car 2 and Car 3,

go to the Star Ferry.

Stand by from left and right

At your pace, you should almost be there.

What's your location?

Pier 7 is in front of me

Piers 2 and 6 to outflying islands on my left.

Turn left, go to pier 6.

Take the ferry to Lantau Island.

Turn around.

Take the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui.

Lau turned around.

We're exposed.

Counter-tailing tactic?

Let's take the Western Harbour Tunnel.

Car 1.

Slow down at the Kowloon exit and wait for me.

When did you last take a ferry, Commissioner Lau?

You keep talking to me.

Aren't you worried we'll trace you?

Then I'll call you back in five minutes.

But I go, a reminder for you:

Don't keep looking around.

Your shoe laces have come untied.

Albert, the phone signal

is very close to Lau's location.

Team across the harbour on standby.

Are you Mr. Lau?

Yes.

Hello?

Commissioner Lau,

Four minutes behind schedule.

Get in a taxi.

and go to the airport. Don't queue for a taxi.

Mister, my shift is over.

Take another one.

Police, start the car.

Received Lau's SMS.

Taxi plate number Mother Alpha 8714.

License No. 6618, Leo Hui.

Hey, wait a while. Coming soon.

I picked up a difficult one.

What can I do?

Set up the mahjong table and wait for me. Talk later.

Where are you now?

Route 5, West Kowloon Corridor

Don't go to the airport. Go up the flyover to Tai Kok Tsui.

Wait, driver. Turn right, take the flyover to Tai Kok Tsui.

First you said the airport and now its Tai Kok Tsui.

Are you having fun? Can you think clearly first, sir?

I guess both you and the money bag

are equipped with tracking devices, right?

Have you ever been in the force?

If you had,

you would've had a bright future.

I joined in 1988

Have we met before?

I have absolutely no interest in the job.

How are my colleagues with you?

Stop!

I said stop the car

Stop the car!

Sir, my license can be revoked!

Stop the car!

Sir, my license can be revoked!

What can I do? We can't stop here.

What do you want?

Throw the money down from the flyover

You're following me.

Aren't you concerned about your fellows?

Don't you want to save them?

I'll count down from three,

and you'll throw the money down.

One, two, three

Money...

Police! Freeze.

Put down the money

Vincent! Come up to help me

How about my taxi, sir?

You just keep silent. What should I do?

Ah...My car! It hurts!

Vincent

Lack of practice. Less nimble.

Albert, call an ambulance

Lau, we're trapped.

The money in the dog van was taken.

Call an ambulance!

Vincent

Find where Lau is.

Send the ambulance.

Yes?

Sir

Sorry sir

Sorry sir

You've worked so hard. Take a rest.

Thank you sir

Hmmm

Lee

How is it?

The Organised Crime team

is taking statements from colleagues.

Calm the colleagues first.

It's been a tough day for everyone.

Sir

Sorry sir

Make a statement after dealing with your wound.

It's tough. Where's Lau?

Over there.

Vincent?

Tell me!

Mrs Tsui.

Vincent?

Where is Vincent?

Vincent!

No!

Bring Vincent to me!

Lau

The Commissioner's flight is delayed to tomorrow morning

Before he got on board, he only know there was one commander

for operation Cold War, you.

This key, you better return it

to him personally tomorrow.

Sorry

Today was very hard and

Everyone apologised to me once

I arrived in the hospital.

I can accept their apologies,

but not yours.

Luckily, the four missing officers are back.

Vincent's case is unfortunate.

but we're not totally defeated.

If I were in charge

I don't know what would happen either.

Lau

Lau?

The vault's director William Ngai

has taken half a month of annual leave

without saying where he'll go.

I'll check with Immigration Department tomorrow.

It's already 1 o'clock.

Let me drive you home.

Lau, we've arrived.

Go home to sleep. I'll pick you up tomorrow.

Vincent.

Excuse me, sir.

I have something confidential to report.

We received a document this morning

from a sender signed "Whistleblower".

It has some information against

current Deputy Police Commissioner Sean Lau

for allegedly accepting advantages

and perverting the course of justice.

The complaint refers to the Tai Kok Tsui

flyover gunfight seven days ago.

The trickiest thing about

it is that one of those in the EU van,

was the son of Deputy Commissioner M.B. Lee.

Police ranks of superintendent and above

must all pass integrity checking.

Billy, are you serious?

For a month up to yesterday.

at all the registered banks in Hong Kong

all the counters

received an amount of tracing paper

totalling $319,500.

I do not understand what you mean.

Mr. Chan.

What I'm saying is that

we as the Hong Kong Monetary Authority

never thought tracing paper

prepared for law enforcement departments

would be of any use.

You make it sound like the money

was lost because of us.

Wait. Let me say something.

Tracing paper, so-called traceable banknotes.

hasn't worked well in tracking down criminals at all.

For the Monetary Authority to prepare

such money for us in future,

we'd need to do further re-assessment.

Sir, Independent Commission Against Corruption officers.

Mr. Sean Lau.

I'm ICAC Principal Investigation Officer Billy Cheung.

We suspect you violated

the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, section 4.

Please come with us to assist in investigations.

What do you mean?

Making an arrest at Police Headquarters,

and it's the Deputy Commissioner?

Mr Lau, please co-operate with us.

Don't you know any rules?

The people here are

the top management maintaning Hong Kong's safety.

If you want to invite Mr Lau to your office,

you must give at least half an hour's notice.

Also, with such a big issue,

did you inform your boss?

Half an hour? No problem.

It's OK.

Lee, I will go with them.

Sorry, Mr Lau. Kept you waiting for so long

This is my assistant, W.M. Kwok.

Be direct. Let's cut to the chase.

Sure.

We received a complaint against you.

That's why we invited you here to

get more information.

The force has an operation named Cold War.

Judging by your experience

and instinct
