- Thanks.

I just picked them at random.

- My girlfriend hates white roses.

- I hate people who don't send them.

- Lover's quarrel?

- Little one.

Everyone disagrees once in a while.

We'll be all right!

Call Mr. Pang at once.

Ask him to come over. Wait for me here.

And when you get my signal,

get the patients out.

- What'll the signal be?

- Send her flowers!

You'll send me flowers?

He got that from me.

I just picked it up.

Guess I should say thank you.

You'll get my flowers

in half an hour.

You're so smart,

you'll know what to do.

Can we go now?

B2.

Mr. Pang, I'm at Maple Hospital.

Can you get here straight away?

- Are you new here? What's your name?

- Geoff Yuen.

- I'd like to see a specialist.

- What's the problem?

Fever, I think.

Who have you got there, then?

Let's take a look.

You don't want to.

He's a mess, eyes hanging out.

Guts all around his neck,

naughty bits missing.

Wasn't my timing perfect?

Theirs was better.

Theresa Chang, your turn!

There's so many patients.

Let them go first.

I'm all right.

I don't need a doctor!

Miss, if you're ill,

you must see a doctor.

I said I don't want to!

Stay calm.

Remember we're cops.

- Where are Tony and Tequila?

- They're in the morgue.

See this? These are all empty.

J 1 2 3 4.

Are you crazy?

How do you suggest we get out?

We're not leaving yet.

How's Tony doing?

Is his cover blown yet?

The whole operation

depends entirely on him.

I hope that mortuary's got good

''Feng Shui.'' May God keep him safe.

And Tequila's there!

Why don't you care about him?

He's in danger too!

That's favoritism!

You're always on his case!

It's obvious you don't

understand him one bit!

I didn't realize you still cared.

- What's the arrangement?

- I wait for his signal.

When I receive some roses,

we evacuate the patients.

Great idea, throw a tantrum.

Always opens doors.

You do it. Go on!

Why are you such a d*ckhead?

This isn't even your case.

I don't agree.

In my opinion, at this stage

it has everything to do with me.

If every cop was as self-important

as you, Hong Kong would be dead.

Why not stop trying to pin the blame?

Let me open the door.

Which year did you graduate?

Did you graduate?

Perhaps.

Good. It would be interesting

to find out...

who trained you to be

this jackass you've become.

Pang said you don't waste slugs.

I don't waste them.

What the hell.

We killed Foxy, but Alan

and that cop disappeared.

I want to get all units

here right away.

Mr. Pang, it's time

to get everyone out.

I've just found

the rose here in my pocket.

Get the team.

They're in the basement.

Sorry Mr. Wong. It's all our fault.

You know what I hate?

Two groups of people:

f***ing cops and creeps

who betray their old bosses.

You bastard.

and many patients

could get hurt in the rush.

- Who's responsible?

- The police.

You're responsible for law and order.

You hunt people.

But I'm a doctor.

I heal them.

I can't risk their lives just

because of some wild rumor.

What's going on?

False alarm!

Everyone back to their rooms!

By law you're obliged to evacuate

everyone if there's a fire alarm.

You told me it was safe.

- Turn the coolant on.

- Yes.

There's no room for failure now.

The innocent must die.

Time is not on our side.

Insist they move the patients.

That sh*t cop.

I've got all the aces.

I'll play every last one.

Nobody challenges Johnny.

They won't succeed.

- What's happening?

- I'm a cop. Get everyone out.

Fast as you can.

It's only a fire drill.

Relax.

Keep calm and keep moving.

I'm in charge, everyone! This is

a false alarm. Go back to your beds.

Are you crazy?

I'll arrest you if you keep on.

And I'll sue you for abuse of power.

There are more than

If you obstruct me again,

I'll castrate you.

Take it easy.

Be careful.

- Who's taking the babies out of here?

- There's only us. What can we do?

Bring help, and take her.

All right, all the guys have come.

- You must leave immediately.

- Continue.

The cops are making it worse.

- Cut the mains. Stop them.

- Right.

Get these babies out.

- Mr. Pang, they're firing at us!

- I hear you.

- You're causing wholesale slaughter.

-Just don't kill the patients.

Doctor, doctor!

Nobody move, or you're all dead.

Get back up. Upstairs.

Get out of here!

Are you deaf?

- It's all right, CI D.

- Come back up.

Drop your gun! Police!

The cops have got us surrounded.

They've pushed me too far.

Take the patients hostage.

A cop's just a human being with a gun.

He's not immortal.

They've got guns. So have we.

They just have .38s.

Get down, on the floor.

Down, I said, a**hole.

Get out! You get out

and leave the babies here. Go.

Didn't you hear? Get out!

Are you deaf?

I'd like you to shut up.

You're scaring the babies to death.

There, there.

It's all right now.

The bastard's a nut.

Now he wants to blow us up.

- How will you send the flowers?

- I did it 20 minutes ago.

- Telepathy?

- Guy goes through hell for a girl...

but she doesn't realize it.

You believe you can get

away from me?

Alan, I admired the hell

out of you.

I actually thought you were my friend,

but you betrayed me.

- And that makes me angry.

- Well, it won't get any better.

I'll kill you whenever I can.

I've been after you for ages.

Why did you choose a hospital?

You like killing innocent people?

I use them. I've got more hostages

than you've had hot dinners.

I've got a serious

arms cache down there.

If you make me cross, boy,

I'll detonate it, up it will go.

- Try it.

- I will. I can't wait to do it.

The next arsenal I have

will be in a police station.

That should be fun.

Hundreds of patients and staff

are being held prisoner here.

So far, the police

have not been able to--

- Don't do it.

- Shut up, b*tch!

Unit number 3, tell them

to stop filming, no pictures.

The walls are like ice.

Must be the morgue in there.

Good. That's handy.

If we die,

they can just chuck us in.

It's just the two of us here.

Up there are hundreds of people

in trouble, so drop the self-pity.

I started in this to help end crime.

But I end up killing the innocent.

I only wanted to be a regular cop.

When I started,

there was only one job:

undercover and triad brother.

It's all right.

Just keep calm.

- Don't you have any dreams?

- Yeah.

I want to move down to Antarctica.

It's freezing there.

You enjoy the cold?

It's got a lot going for it.

It's always light.

I'd like that,

after all this darkness.

Dreams are supposed

to be attainable, like mine.

I always wanted to be a musician,

but I became a cop.

Life should be about fun.

Come on.

Don't move.

The guy's a cop.

Johnny, you're winning.

Why not let the patients go?

- You only hate the damn cops.

- You scared?

I'm not scared.

I've been around.

But some things in life are out of line.

What's this about out of line?

Hold it!

Get down! No one move!

Look, we caught a cop.

- Okay, bring him on up.
