Cold War II Page #2

What happened?

Fugitive heading to A1 exit.

All passengers, please stay calm.

Our staff will direct you

to the nearest exit.

Stand back!

You'd better leave.

Go out of here!

Now!

Don't move!

Police!

Don't move!

Over here!

Don't panic!

Team 1, proceed to East Platform.

Team 2, proceed to West Platform.

Team 3, guard the two concourse elevators.

Move!

Police! Move over!

Sir.

Stay calm.

Michelle.

After sending you to hospital,

I'll bring Josie over, okay?

A bomb explosion took

place last night at 7:45

at Sai Ying Pun MTR Station.

A bomb disposal expert was

injured during the incident.

Convict Joe Lee escaped custody

during the chaos.

The operation last night was

under my direct command.

For causing unnecessary

distress to the public,

I take full responsibility

for the operation.

What concrete action will you

take beyond an apology?

How has MTR management responded?

Did the police violate any protocol during

the operation last night?

Was the Security Bureau

informed prior to the operation?

Sir.

This is M.B. Lee.

Connect me to Crime Unit's SP Yang.

Lee.

(Peter Choi, Former Police Commissioner)

Yang, I'll call you back.

Joe has been working for me.

I've been wondering who Joe

has been working with.

I never guessed it was you.

I'm a good judge of character.

Your son is just like you.

Out of all the operation code names that

I set up while I was in office,

you picked "Cold War".

Interesting indeed.

Sir, we go back a long way.

Let's skip the small talk.

We won't tolerate anyone

who will thwart our plans for

succession in the police force.

We have always wanted you

to succeed the Commissioner.

Joe was our top pick

for the position in the future.

But he became a fugitive

in order to help you succeed.

What do you mean "we"?

Sean Lau is the confidant

of the Secretary for Security.

He's not one of "us".

Technically speaking,

you're still on pre-retirement leave.

Once Lau is eliminated,

I can ask the Secretary of Justice along

with other powerful officials

to support your reinstatement.

Mr. Choi

I doubt that you and your backers

have the power to appoint

the new Commissioner.

We don't, but

we can push forward candidates.

As long as it's one of our own,

whoever gets appointed makes no difference.

Think it over.

Dad.

You've been wearing the

same glasses for years.

It's time for a change.

Operation Cold War had

many issues to begin with.

When the entire legislature plans

to impeach the Commissioner,

he's even lei a convict

loose during custody!

Since the founding of this city,

we've never had such a

ridiculous police chief.

If we don't hold him accountable,

how can we answer to the

people of Hong Kong?

(Isabel Au, Barrister)

Hi, John.

Who's in the study?

(Edward Lai, Secretary of Justice)

When Father Kwan passed away,

you asked for nothing but this plaque.

Edward

This is no ordinary model.

Monochrome camera

with 0.95 lens.

(Oswald Kan, Legislator, Senior Counselor)

Perfect match.

It's wasted on me,

but you like B&W photography.

Something bothering you?

Operation Cold War has

created lots of problems.

Many councilman have lost faith

in the police force.

What's your decision on

the P&P inquiry committee?

You come all the way here

for my advice on Council matters?

Oswald

Personally,

I hope you join the committee.

With you on board, I could ask

the Secretary for Security

to fully cooperate with the investigation.

Oswald.

For the common good, we must all

make compromises sometimes.

Compromises?

You are trying lo override

the legal system with judicial power.

Politics

is the art of negotiation.

Edward

Those words

are embarrassing even

for a first year law student.

Among all of my juniors,

you were the brightest

and most promising.

Head and shoulders above the rest.

What more do you want?

But real politics

has many unspoken rules.

Had I followed the "rules",

you would never have become

the Secretary of Justice.

"Digital" photography has its charms.

But my passion lies in "analogue".

Understand?

No, thanks.

Uncle.

Your flight leaves tonight at 9:15.

Go home and reflect on you actions.

- Go.

- Thank you.

Master, you had promised Edward Lai?

They sent the Secretary

of Justice to lobby me.

It's a last ditch effort by the government.

Things may shift in the future.

If I don't step in, I may regret it.

Master, the sign up deadline is 5pm today.

Call them at 4:
45pm.

By a majority vote, the Legislative Council

passed Security Panel Chair,

Chaplin Ma's motion

to invoke the Powers and

Privileges Ordinance

to investigate Police Commissioner

of Police, Sean Lau

for ethics violations during

Operation Cold War.

This is the first time since 1993

Legislative Council invoked the ordinance

to investigate a top government official.

We just received the inquiry schedule.

Lydia Wong will serve as committee chair.

Chaplin Ma is the vice-chair.

Other members include Alan Tam,

Emily Ng and Oswald Kan,

all top legal experts.

The first witness is

Mr. Lee, M.B. Lee.

Sir, in view of the P&P inquiries

over the last decade,

if Operation Cold War

fails to yield results,

I predict the Council will conclude

the inquiry with words such as "regret",

"denounce" and even "condemn".

You not only stand to lose your pension,

you may even face criminal charges.

All we can do now

is to publicize all the facts on

the Commissioner's behalf,

to gain public sympathy.

Sir.

Instead of relying on the police force

for help, think about

how you can help the force.

(Billy Cheung, Principal Investigator)

(Independent Commission

Against Corruption (ICAC))

I've spoken with Mr. Mak.

How can I help you?

The rooftop firework incident

and the MTR explosion

both involved black market explosives.

But so far,

we have no suspects.

I don't have a single lead.

I may have been kept

in the dark from the beginning.

Does MB. Lee still have

an influence on the force?

Don't just focus on the police force.

I want you to do a sand table exercise.

Expand your scope.

I want to form a clean team on the outside.

I want you to take the lead.

Happy birthday!

That's enough!

I promised to quit.

Just one drink once a year?

You know what I mean.

When I was 20, you said

it was the last time.

Then you'd let the past go

and stop mourning my dad.

You're becoming more like him.

Cantankerous, stubborn.

Back then we were poor.

Your dad and I often drank this swill.

Now I'm slowly discovering

how good cheap booze tastes.

That's enough!

Stop it.

If I was the one driving that day

I don't quite remember his face.

That's why cameras were invented.

Guess who I saw in my dreams last night?

Your father?

Yes.

But his name was Oswald, not Oliver.

Promise, stop drinking so much, okay?

Madam Chairman

The last paragraph of the Operation

Cold War police internal report reads:

"This operation upheld

the core values of Hong Kong,
