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.

plus soil from the environment.

According to statements from

the other four EU van members,

all said they'd been kept at a scrap yard.

This matched with the report.

But I still have some reservations.

Three days ago,

I asked the government laboratory

to conduct further comparison for

the other four officers' clothing.

Among the four van officers,

three of them only had

one type of environmental element.

But one of them had more than one.

The only explanation is that

this person had been to

the same place more than once.

Do you remember there was a typhoon

in Hong Kong last month?

Wind and rain diluted the soil.

Nature became

our time witness.

The more careful a person is,

the more preparation he'd carry out.

The hijack video needed to be recorded in advance

to have enough time to make sure

all the background information

could be cleared.

Although he has been very careful.

the fact are always

the most precise.

According to sources,

when a firework is assembled on a roof

It's as dangerous an as explosives depot.

Be careful everybody!

Killing the vault's director

and leaving traces of black powder

the clue is too obvious

The only logical explanation is that

the mole who hijacked the EU van

started to clear away witnesses

with outside help

He'd rather betray outsiders who helped him,

and not colleagues inside the force.

Bun, see you in the gondola.

It's Team B. We've arrived at the south roof.

Are you Albert Kwong?

Speaking.

I am Chan Bun, ex-Organised Crime

and Triad Bureau officer.

I want to be a witness in return for immunity.

See me on the roof now.

Ok, wait for me.

Michael ... Michael ...

Michael ...

Get Michael and tell him to answer me.

Go, go, go ...

I'm Albert.

Long time no see. You'd been doing very well,

Superintendent Kwong.

How long have you been back?

I only want to know who else is involved.

I'll only tell you

if the policement downstairs back off.

Calm down and

put down the gun.

How many are hurt below us?

You tell me to put the gun down?

Michael

Give me some time.

I'll be able to settle it.

I can ensure your safety.

Why did you betray me?

Michael, Why did you betray me?

Go to hell.

Dad.

It's so late. Why aren't you asleep yet?

Lau has something for you.

What an oversight

Why?

Actually, many seniors are on your side.

Not only me but many people

beyond your imagination

They've been helping me all along.

How about Vincent? Johnny Wong?

They are policemen too. They have families.

The first day in the academy,

the instructor helped clear my mind.

He said my work would add

a degree of danger to my life.

This is part of the cost of fighting for

our rights and interests.

I do not see any problems with it.

Have you forgotten

what I've been teaching you all along?

I haven't forgotten what you taught me,

But times have changed.

No one acknowledges you for helping people.

If you let other people get promoted,

even God won't help you.

I never knew you'd already gone so far.

Let me ask you:

if you were me, what would you do?

I ..

I won't turn myself in.

I won't go to jail.

If I were you,

I'd let your son go!

Why are you so confident about it?

Because I'm your only son.

Since Sean Lau is in charge

all he knows is how to reduce expenses

to make the accounts

look nice and please the bosses.

You know how low morale is at the front line?

The present Commissioner is disappointing us.

I won't let Lau take the Commissioner post.

Dad.

many colleagues support you.

We'll have hope only if you take the position.

How many are with you?

More than you could imagine.

I've decided, if anything goes wrong,

I'll sacrifice a few colleagues first.

In a few days, I will let the lost guns

and the ransom surface,

and you're the one who'll solve the case.

Dad, just one step left.

I did so much.

Just the final step for you to take.

Joe, you'd better answer

my earlier question first.

If I were you,

I wouldn't find so many excuses

to do so many wrong things.

I love you, Dad.

I wanted to see how much he'd changed

and how much of the old him is left

If he didn't pick up the gun,

he would still have hope.

But he picked up the gun.

Since then he is no longer my son

His future, dead or alive,

has nothing to do with me.

I've been wrongly tipped off all along.

How could others say Lee

is far more sophisticated than you?

Mr. Lau, you're incredible!

Have you ever thought

of joining me in the force?

Call me.

Come in.

Sir.

Sit down.

Commissioner Tsang

I have a question.

I know what you're going to ask.

It's because both Lee and

I have applied for early retirement.

Lau, I can't do much more

The future of the Police Force depends on you.

Lee

Sir

Rule number one:
As a boss

you never run out

to look for your subordinates.

Only the opposite should happen.

Sorry sir.

I should be the one who says that

You have no practical operations experience,

But this became your advantage

You can look at a case from a wider perspective

Without violating the law or abusing power,

every department in the force,

the ICAC and even the Security Bureau

became your tools to solve the case

I doubted your capability all along.

I was too subjective.

Thank you, sir.

But you were wrong about something.

In World War II,

when US President Roosevelt asked

UK Prime Minister Churchill how to describe the war,

Churchil said

It was an unnecessary war that

could have been avoided

He never said all wars are unnecessary.

The Gathering Storm

The last paragraph on the first page,

I shouldn't have shown off

in front of you.

Operation Cold War was identified

as both as success and a failure

in government Internal review records.

The records said management

at the Hong Kong police and the ICAC,

could remain neutral and they could stick to their positions

in a crisis threatening Hong Kong law and order.

They could uphold the law

while exercising mutual restraint.

It is an excellent model for cities

following the common law system.

The review document released

a number of improvement measures.

However, after internal assessment by the government,

all records are classified as confidential

and cannot be made public

due to public safety considerations.

May I know who want to speak to Mr Lau?

Please hold on.

Hello?

Commissioner Lau,

do you still remember me?

Yes, I remember.

Your wife is Michelle Chan,

the person in charge at Sunflower Florist

your daughter is 5 years old.

Sunshine Flower Kindergarten

grade 3, Josie Lau.

What do you want?

I want you to release someone
