Cold War II Page #3

"setting a good precedent

for other common law jurisdictions.

"The Internal Review Committee

deems this operation

"the most successful failure

"since the handover."

First of all, Madam Chairman,

what do they mean by 'most

successful failure'?

The oxymoronic language is preposterous.

I completely disagree with

the findings of this internal report.

What about you, Mr. Lee?

Madam Chairman,

I did read the report,

but I was neither involved nor

had any input into it.

Mr. Lee.

According to the internal report's

attachment B2, page 17, Section B,

Sean Lau, then Deputy Commissioner

anonymously leaked a substantial amount

of classified information

to ICAC

in the interest of solving the case.

Were you informed of

this action beforehand?

I wasn't informed beforehand.

But Clause 6.01.22 of Police General Order

clearly stipulates that

"Police officers shall not send anonymous

correspondence as such action

"may be seen as conduct to the prejudice

of good order and discipline."

Mr. Lee,

do you think Mr. Lau

broke the law knowingly?

Mr. "Counselor".

Regulations are set in stone, not people.

I suppose we lawmen are out of your league

when it comes to dancing around the law.

Madam Chairman,

let's go back to page 57

of the police internal report.

On the evening of December 26 last year,

the following incident took place

at your residence, Mr. Lee.

Lau had got evidence to prove your son

of engaging in criminal activity.

It's admirable to uphold justice

at the expense of your own

family relations.

I want to ask Mr. Lee.

Did you ever question Sean Lau's integrity

and leadership ability'?

Madam Chairman

With respect to Commissioner

Lau's integrity,

I had no doubt.

But on the day of

the Sai Ying Pun Station incident

something else happened.

Commissioner Lau and Joe Lee had

a conversation inside a bugged vehicle.

Joe Lee hinted

that the missing EU van,

firearms and equipment

had not resurfaced because Commissioner Lau

refused to deliver on his promise.

Mr. Lee,

how did you learn of this information?

I was at the police headquarters.

I heard the conversation as it happened.

During that conversation,

did Joe Lee specify what Commissioner

Lau had promised him?

Joe Lee said

They agreed on $50M.

Commissioner Lau promised

to deliver the security detail

of the Chief Executive, the 3 Secretaries

and 13 Bureau Directors

over the next 6 months.

But Commissioner Lau was greedy.

He wanted more.

- Chairman!

- Chairman!

Mr. Lee.

Are you aware you're making

serious allegations?

You're suggesting to the chair

and all P&P committee members

that the Police Commissioner was

conspiring with Joe Lee and his cohorts

and threatened the safety of

Hong Kong's top-level government officials.

As a police officer for over 30 years,

I've learned

not to rule out any possibilities

until a case is solved.

Questions and answers in

previous P&P hearings

were all rehearsed.

M.B. Lee didn't follow the script ai all.

Don't you think Lee

had ulterior motives from the start?

What he said today was meant

to divide the police force.

Now that Sean Lau is so vulnerable,

what's wrong with putting him

out of misery once and for all?

Old school cops value honor.

Lee knew very well what he said

today was enough to ruin

the reputation that the force

built over the years.

We can't trust this man.

He can't be doing this just

to go after Sean Lau.

If Lee had other reasons,

who or what could convince

such a cunning old man?

He sacrificed his own

son to uphold justice.

What makes a person change suddenly,

almost always comes down to a few reasons.

Power, Money, Personal or Family.

To convince Lee to switch sides

requires someone with influence and power.

We can skip this.

With power comes money.

This person might have made Lee an offer

he couldn't resist.

Even though Lee still has

influence within the force,

my guess is that both father and son

are merely pawns in a bigger game

There must be

someone else behind this.

If someone is using me

to get rid of the Commissioner,

I would like to know who it is.

They're using every means

to force me to step down.

If I stepped down,

who would benefit the most?

Expect more contact between Lee

and the man behind this.

But it will be hard to trace.

Lee's every move from now on will

directly impact the rest of the hearings.

Find out what Mr. Luk thinks.

He's been too quiet. It's unlike him.

Alan, put Lee under surveillance.

All of you,

let go of your identities as lawyers,

serve as the senior assistants

of "Councilman" Kan.

Our battlefield is inside the Council,

not the courtroom.

I hate being used as a pawn.

Since when did Oswald Kan start running

a surveillance business?

You drove a blue BMW, plate no. 6960.

You followed me here from my home.

What do you want to know?

Retired or not

no other high-level

official has ever publicly

betrayed his own people.

I have not.

Who did you meet before the hearing?

What did they offer you?

You know best.

What's your name?

Au.

Ms. Au, I'll answer you now.

On the 2nd day of my retirement,

the Big Four Developers

already sent negotiators.

They asked me to work for them.

They would pay any price.

I turned them down.

Anyone may try running

before learning to walk.

The question is, do you have the talent?

If not, take one step at a time.

You don't look like a corrupt cop.

The force has both good and bad cops.

Stick around for ten years, you'll see.

Please tell Mr. Kan

to mind his own business

and stop sending kids to follow me.

If he wants to know

something, just call me.

My number is the same.

I'll even make a personal visit.

Mr. Lee, thank you for coming.

Skip the formality.

Call me M.B.

Sit down.

Chaplin, Gilbert, Lydia

You've met.

But we don't know each other that well.

Mr. Lee, I hope we'll work well together.

Everyone is here tonight.

Perhaps I'll be privy to inside secrets'?

Secretary Lai decided to

run for Chief Executive.

Here are the key players

in the next administration:

Chief Secretary

Financial Secretary

Secretary of Justice

Hung Kong's future is sitting right here.

So you were playing kingmaker all along.

Mr. Choi lobbied most of

the political and economic: elite.

Still, the current government needs

a complete overhaul.

Secretary for Security Philip Luk

is the most likely contender

in the Chief Executive race.

However, once Sean Lau is eliminated,

it will be easy to remove

Philip Luk from office.

As Mr. Choi suggested,

Mr. Lee will serve as

interim Police Commissioner.

Once elected,

I'll get approval

to appoint Stephen as the Commissioner,

and you'll be promoted to

Secretary for Security.

Mr. Lee can handle any of your brushes with

either side of the law.

If all goes to plan,

I'll announce my candidacy by year-end.

Expect chaos and confusion

in the months ahead.

Some people will need to be consoled.

Others, I implore each
