Cold War Page #6

But so far, no one knows

who will be the successor

even within the force.

Lee is hawkish

and has always been popular

among front-line officers

especially Criminal Investigation

Department detectives.

He could be the successor under normal practice.

But we were tipped off by

senior government sources that

their choice is actually Sean Lau.

Because under his management for four years

the force has been revamped very well.

If no criminal mistakes happen

in the force management

in these few months

M.B. Lee would probably be urged to stay

as Operations Deputy Police Commissioner

and then retire.

Then Sean Lau could become

Hong Kong's youngest Police Commissioner ever.

Billy, do you think Lee

wanted to strike out Sean Lau

in case Lau would threaten his prospects?

If you're making assumptions,

you might as well be bold.

Nicole, call the government laboratory.

Three days ago, I received critical info

from the whistleblower.

Mr. Mak has contacts in the Police Commissioner

and they actually believed

the information is reliable.

Tomorrow, we'll invite

Deputy Police Commissioner M.B. Lee here.

We heard Lee is far

more sophisticated than Sean Lau.

Mr Lee, we brought you here so early

so hopefully it wouldn't

scare you and your family.

Can you recall the names in this document?

No

An EU van

Not including players

there'd be a mole who knows the operation details.

an IT person who set up the whole system.

your contact person.

And of course a member in the EU van.

At least four people were needed

to extort the Hong Kong Police Force.

Even if you had an IT person as the fall guy

and made the lost guns surface,

the mole and the member in the EU van

would remain unknown

I totally don't know what you mean.

In 1995, a perfect undercover plan

successfully broke up a triad gang.

The head of the Organised Crime bureau

then was M.B. Lee.

After the job, due to safety

you vouched for the officers to join

the last batch in the colonial government's

Identity Renewal Programme

You were even allowed to change names legally

and obtained right of abode in South Africa

The file number of the program is ND157

You sound more like a cop

than an ICAC officer.

Even the vault's director was killed by you.

Your current and old subordinates

even helped you stage a big show

to clear Vincent Tsui

and kick out Sean Lau, right?

You brought me here so early

just to hear a story you made up.

If there;s nothing more, I have to go.

Mr. Lee, your planning capability

is really strong

Sean Lau has an impeccable resume

plus a strong support team

but all this was wiped out by

a so-called Cold War operation

According to records, your father Lee Shu-tang

was the highest-ranking

Chinese Police Superintendent

and your son Joe Lee, with a high IQ at 192.

graduated with the Silver Whistle Award

The Lee family has three honorable generations.

Congratulations, Mr Lee.

You must be the next Police Commissioner

Your imagination is too much.

It's nothing to do with imagination

Your old colleague Yeung Chi-on

is sitting in the next room

Do you want me to bring him here

for a reunion?

Kid,

don't trick me

I can bet on my life that

there's no one except your boss in the next room.

Just based on such a biased analysis,

without any logical reasoning,

you dare to bring in the two

Deputy Police Commissioners

for questioning

and waste their valuable time.

Isn't it exciting?

Seize the hidden mastermind,

smash the big conspiracy in the Police Force.

Don't you feel proud?

When you've reached my position,

you would understand.

Even the Commissioner

would be amazed by my connections.

You thought you could find out

anything from questioning me, right?

You assumed that one of

the Deputy Commissioners is the mole.

Either Sean Lau wanted to take the ransom money

or I trapped him to get a promotion.

I've been serving in the force for 30 years.

have many friends

and have enemies too.

In these 30 years, I learned one thing

no matter what organisation,

department or position you're in,

you just need

to learn the rules of the game.

whether they're written or unspoken.

But many people failed to and died

before they learned them.

Do you know why?

Because they try to act smart.

Second step

find the boundary in the game

and don't overstep it.

Only then can you barely survive.

Can a city be run without the ICAC

or without the police?

Also,

you two are too green and lack experience.

Learn to protect yourselves,

and don't be tricked by people.

-- Mr Lee.

-- Mr. Mak

This is the first time

You've visited us after our relocation.

Why didn't you tell me you'd dropped by?

I was invited by the ICAC today

to help in an investigation.

According to Hong Kong law,

the ICAC can detain me for 48 hours.

Without completed evidence.

I decided to stay here for a night.

I'll give you two days

and hope you can

find sufficient evidence by all means

to allow you to question me again.

Don't be angry

You're the Deputy Police Commissioner.

We just want to helpthe force to

clean out the black marks.

Let's leave now.

You now know how to play the game, right?

Let's go. I'll walk with you.

Mr Lee, Mr Lau wants to see you.

Looking for me?

Winston Churchill said that all wars

are not necessary.

What do you mean?

The report from the government laboratory

come in

It's confirmed that the bomb in William Ngai's car

was made with black powder.

Sulphur, charcoal and potassium nitrate?

Those are the main ingredients for black powder.

Excuse me.

What is black powder?

Black powder is a low-level explosive

Used mainly in fireworks.

Don't take it lightly.

Within 4000 square feet

it can still kill people

They wanted to push the blame

onto Vincent and the vault's director

with their deaths

The hijacking's mastermind

is obviously from inside the force.

No matter whether any of us

continue investigating under Cold War.

they'd certainly know about it.

If they don't do anything

more or simply hide away,

We will never

crack the case

Mr. Mak, the ICAC is the only

law enforcement body

reporting directly to the Chief Executive.

Even the Security Bureau has no authority over it.

According to the structure,

the ICAC doesn't need to report to me

before their operations.

Trust your own judgment.

Extreme times require extreme measures

I think the whistleblower

wants to use the ICAC

To dig out the criminals.

Hello?

Are you the whistleblower?

If Lau didn't ask us to help

he could be the one being kicked out.

44 buildings in Hong Kong can release fireworks.

But only 20 people hold black powder licenses.

They're responsible for the firework shows.

We checked all the firework technicians

at these 44 buildings

and have targeted three of them.

If we can find the bomber,

we can then find the hijackers.

The autopsy report for Johnny Wong said

His whole body, including hair and nails,

showed ferric oxide residues,
