of you to make an effort

to keep them quiet.

Sir,

there is no tougher job than

being Chief Executive.

You must have some powerful support.

Regardless of the changes

ahead for Hung Kong,

with everyone here on board,

we can only expect even greater

rewards in the future.

Cheers!

Sir.

Sir.

A former coworker who now works

at the Legislative Council

told me that Oswald Kan

didn't plan to join the committee at first,

but signed up just 15 minutes

before the deadline.

Are you sure about this?

Yes.

Oswald Kan and Secretary

of Justice Edward Lai

both are alumni of Lincoln's Inn.

Both have chaired

the Hong Kong Bar Association.

Lai has publicly stated on

more than one occasion that

the police force needs reform.

You suspect Oswald Kan, Edward Lai

and M.B. Lee of working together?

Yes.

Is the setup here capable

of bugging someone 24/7'?

We have the software but

lack the expertise.

I'll transfer someone here.

Mr. Mak will not agree

to putting Lai under surveillance.

Leave Secretary Lai for now.

Focus on Lee

and Kan.

No need to apologize.

At least we now know

we're on the same page.

With the police also watching him,

M.B. Lee will be extra careful.

You won't gain much

from tailing him.

But you won't stop me?

Would you listen if I asked you to stop?

Now that you suspect Lee,

will you change tactics dealing

with Sean Lau tomorrow?

I want to find out how much Lau knows

or if he's been left in the dark.

Very good.

(Second Hearing)

A crooked stick has a crooked shadow.

If the Commissioner breaks the rules,

how can we expect the 33,300 men under

you to enforce the law,

Commissioner Lau?

Madam Chairman.

Counselor Kan.

Extreme times

call for extreme measures.

But only those in power

decide what constitutes extreme times.

That's why

the law prohibits extreme measures

to be employed at all times!

You're at the Legislative Council,

Commissioner!

Please answer the question!

Madam Chairman.

Breaking convention

and breaking the law

are two different matters.

Joe Lee was captured

because ICAC was involved

in Operation Cold War

Did I hear wrong?

Was Joe Lee recaptured?

Commissioner,

do you have selective amnesia?

Please rephrase your answer.

Joe Lee may be at large at the moment,

but he can't escape

the long arm of law forever.

I already stated publicly

that I assume full responsibility

for the MTR Station incident.

In the last hearing,

Mr. M.B. Lee testified that

while you were escorting Joe Lee,

Joe Lee said the following

Counselor Kan!

I don't believe this

Council Chamber is the place

to bring forth unfounded

allegations against me

from a proven criminal.

Commissioner Lau.

Why do you have so many enemies?

I believe

it's because my appointment

jeopardized certain vested interests.

I'd like to take this opportunity

to state the following

Hong Kong,

is not a place where

they can have free rein.

He parked outside Fung

Shing Auto Body Shop.

Please take over.

Tin Man?

Sorry, sir.

That's strange.

M.B. Lee's phone was quiet all day.

Ken's protg has been

hanging around Tsuen Wan.

One EU van, five officers,

plus the equipment,

what's it worth?

How much will it cost

to make an EU van disappear?

Jammer included,

at least $20M.

$8M, if you gave me the job.

After leaving office, Mr. Choi has been

the network security consultant

for the US, South African

and Israeli governments.

Sean Lau overestimated his intelligence.

The 3rd Generation Police C3 System

was worth $540M.

He gave the contract to

8 independent suppliers in the end.

But the world of IT security is small.

No matter who he picked.

I can make them mine eventually.

You're saying it won't matter

whatever system the police uses.

MB.

Technology is just hardware.

What matters is the people.

Sir.

ROY:

Gary, when did you get back?

3 months ago.

You guys took the fall for me back in 1995.

I still haven't thanked you properly.

Don't say that, Sir.

You and Mr. Choi have taken good care

of us all these years.

We all want to serve with you again.

Dad, just one more step,

you will rewrite history.

Sean Lau won't win in the hearing.

A sinking ship is not worth bothering with.

Your tenure as Police Commissioner

starts now!

Dad.

Mr. Choi arranged for me

to leave by sea tonight.

Joe.

Go as far away as possible.

Don't let anyone know your whereabouts,

including me.

Take care.

It's time to go.

Stay far, far away from these people.

If possible,

start a new life.

I love you, Dad.

Master, I just saw M.B.

Lee meeting his son.

I'm tailing Joe Lee now.

Bella, come back now, we'll talk later.

I must find out who else is in his car.

Isabel Au just called Oswald Kan.

She's tailing Joe Lee's car,

southbound along Sun Tin Highway.

I'll get the model and

plate of her car now.

Inform Alan and ask for backup.

Mr. Choi, there's a car following you.

Yes, sir.

Police! Move over!

Police!

Ms. Au.

Ms. Au.

Ms. Au.

ROY-

Boss, get in!

Sir.

Au's phone and camera have been examined.

It seems like nothing can be recovered.

There were 3 shooters in the tunnel.

The suspect with the shotgun

was blocked by the minibus.

CCTV didn't capture a clear shot.

The other one escaped

left fingerprints on his car.

We may ID him.

The 7-seater?

A same model car was discovered

at Cafe Old Beach half an hour ago,

completely torched.

Joe Lee?

Sean Lau!

- Sir!

- What did you promise me?

- How dare you act outside the law!

- Every one of my decisions

- You think you're king'?

- Was in the interest of the force.

Hypocrite!

- Did you ask him what he did?

I begged you to spare him!

- I never said I'd let Joe Lee go.

- He didn't deserve to die!

- He was hell-bent on killing me!

- Now that you're losing your job,

- you made him take the fall for you!

- I fired back in self-defense.

You call yourself a

Police Commissioner?

If he wasn't your son,

would you react so strongly?

Mr. Lee, don't do it!

All of you listen carefully!

If Sean Lau is allowed

to continue being your boss,

I'll f***ing change my name!

Are you two crazy?

The former Deputy used an illegal firearm.

The incumbent Commissioner,

guilty of obstruction of justice.

Sean Lau.

You know well that wiretapping requires

authorization from Customs,

Immigration, ICAC and the Supreme Court.

But you don't even have one permit.

Not one!

Zero!

M.B. Lee.

Listen.

I'm devoting the rest of my life,

to taking care of you.

Be my guest.

According to our records, the second gunman

is deceased.

His name is Roy Ho,

a former CID investigator.

He left the force in 1993

with a clean record,

and died in 1995 in a car accident.

The CID Director then

was M.B. Lee.

Do you suspect the gunman works for Lee?

Something else happened that year.

Special Branch was dissolved.

I always suspected

the Special Branch immigration program

for covert agents was misused.

Faking their deaths was just

part of the protocol.

Even after these agents left Hong Kong,
