Crime Story Page #4

Mrs. Wong's

exiting from a side door.

Go the United Chinese Bank

three blocks away.

Eddie, Mrs. Wong is now going to

United Chinese Bank,

the one that's three blocks away.

I've done all that you've asked.

I converted the cashier's cheques.

You said to change banks,

and I changed banks.

I only want to speak briefly with my

husband. Why won't you let him talk?

Mrs. Wong's on the overpass,

walking towards United Chinese Bank.

Your husband is very safe right now.

As soon as we get the money,

we'll release the hostage.

Don't try any tricks, or I won't be able

to guarantee your husband's safety.

I won't try anything.

Please don't harm him.

Don't alarm Mrs. Wong in any way.

You're all tailing her too closely.

Move back a few steps.

Not all of you!

Act more naturally when tailing her.

I traced the first call to Shenzhen.

Get me the Shenzhen

Public Security Bureau.

Yes.

Hello.

Superintendent, we have the Shenzhen

Public Security Bureau on the phone.

Hello, Commissioner Lai,

we have to bother you again.

Ah, you're too polite.

We're happy to help in any way.

Beetle, beetle. Mrs. Wong has

already entered your monitoring area.

Pay attention to all suspicious-Iooking

people around Mrs. Wong.

Hey, let me get it.

Hello.

Please tell Superintendent Cheng

that call in Mandarin came from Taiwan.

Okay, thank you.

What's up?

Have you traced the call

in Mandarin yet?

I haven't heard back from them yet.

Now, I want you

to deposit the cashier's cheques into

United Chinese Bank, Taipei branch.

- 3032... 377068...

- Taipei branch? What account?

- and 377-069...

- Input what's she's saying.

In case Mrs. Wong

comes out the bank again,

those whom she has seen must

change their clothes.

I'm now changing. Continue keeping

an eye on Mrs. Wong.

We've traced it. The money has been

deposited in more than ten accounts

in the Taipei branch of United

Chinese Bank.

Call Taiwan's

National Police Administration.

Hello.

Commissioner Shen, please.

Speaking.

Is something the matter?

Commissioner Shen.

This is Hong Kong Police OCTB's

Superintendent Cheung calling.

Commissioner Shen,

the ransom money of a kidnapping

has been deposited

into more than ten accounts in

the United Chinese Bank in Taipei.

Could you please look into it

and freeze the money?

Superintendent Cheung,

as the kidnapping

didn't happen in Taiwan,

under our laws, we have no right to

interfere in commercial transactions.

Commissioner Shen, I suspect that

these criminals are terrorists

and will use this money to fund

illegal activities in Taiwan.

Please don't be so impatient.

I'm transferring the funds now.

- Yes, yes, yes...

- We're remitted USD 30 million.

- USD 30 million is already remitted.

- Continue to transfer the funds.

Don't fool around

with your husband's life.

Please don't worry. I'm already

remitting the money to you now.

Once you receive the money,

remember to release my husband.

The public phone on Meilin St.

Thank you.

Superintendent Chueng, we've traced

the call from Shenzhen.

- Superintendent Cheung

- What's up?

The accounts in Taiwan are listed

under four people's names.

They said they would fax the details

of the accounts to us later.

Eddie, listen up. Stop Mrs. Wong

from remitting the money.

I don't care what you

have to do to stop her,

but once all the money

has been transferred,

I'm afraid we'll lose

our connection to the criminals.

I've now arrived at the bank.

- Sir, you can't enter this area.

- OCTB!

- OCTB.

- Sir, you can't enter this area.

- Here...

- Excuse us. We're CID.

- Excuse us. We're CID.

- Hey!

We're working on a case.

Can't you call back later?

My mobile's battery is dying.

I'll be quick

about changing the battery.

Don't try anything.

I'll call you in a minute.

Hey, mister...

- He's looking for me.

- Mrs. Wong.

The police need you to stop

remitting the money.

Mrs. Wong.

Even after the criminals

receive the money,

they may kill the hostage

at any time for safety's sake.

I don't have any other option.

What do you want me to do?

First you tell me to pay the ransom,

now you tell me not to pay.

I don't care! I'll do anything as long as

I can save my husband!

Mrs. Wong.

We're transferring the fourth

remittance.

The amount is USD14 million.

Continue the transfer.

Once all the money

is remitted to Taiwan,

we'll lose the criminals,

and won't solve the case.

I don't care.

As long as my husband comes back.

Solving the case is police business!

Mrs. Wong.

Over the years, there have been 15

cases where the hostages were killed

even after the ransom was paid. I don't

want your husband to be the 16th victim.

Do you believe the criminals

or the police?

Stop the remittance.

Mrs. Wong has stopped

remitting the money.

Wire tap team, continue monitoring

the situation 24 hours a day.

Ground troops, continue

covertly protecting Mrs. Wong.

Damn b*tch! Playing tricks on me!

- That way!

- Go! Go!

Halt!

Stay still!

Hello? Hello? Hello?!

Superintendent Chueng,

Taiwan has faxed the details of

the account holders.

Ah Fei, what will happen now?

I don't even know if USD 30 million

is going to save you or not.

Ask them to help us.

We have no diplomatic relations with them,

and there aren't any extradition laws.

The only solution is to send

someone over. But who?

Superintendent Cheung.

I know Taiwan quite well.

Why don't I go?

Okay.

I'll send someone to assist you.

Hey! Do you have to be this nervous?

I can never believe that such a big

piece of metal can fly in the sky.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't afraid.

Hey, why don't you treat this

as an official expense?

Once we arrive in Taipei, we'll find a

nice hotel, then have a good meal.

Look at the data.

Any clues about who this man is?

This man is called Simen Ting.

Do you know him?

No. I've never seen him.

I wonder if the Taiwanese

are willing to help or not.

Who cares. As I said, let's enjoy

ourselves for two nights

and consider that mission

accomplished.

Sir, there's air turbulence.

Please return to your seat.

- I'm CID. I'm interrogating a suspect.

- Okay.

Do you always take things this lightly?

What's the point of being so serious?

I've given 30 years of my youth

to the Royal Police force.

Tell me,

what have I received in return?

- Then what do you want?

- I don't know.

I only know that every night I wake up

from my dreams

feeling that I've let myself down.

When I first came out of the

academy, energetic and gung ho,

I was even braver than you are now.

- When you're exchanged gunfire,

- Attention, all passengers...

- when you've shot someone...

- please return to your seats

- I bet it scared you!

- and fasten your seatbelts.

I dare you to say

that you weren't afraid!

Sir, it's dangerous

if you don't return to your seat.

I'm used to danger. If it isn't

dangerous, I want my money back.

Hey, take a seat

and fasten your seatbelt.

Don't be afraid.
