I now officially take you

into custody

883

01:
11:39,056 -- 01:11:40,352

Wait!

884

01:
11:41,422 -- 01:11:43,082

Did you send for paparazzi to

film this?

885

01:
11:43,155 -- 01:11:44,552

Why wasn't he arrested

at the scene?

886

01:
11:44,621 -- 01:11:46,747

A good citizen submitted this

887

01:
11:49,754 -- 01:11:50,981

What?

888

01:
11:52,489 -- 01:11:54,045

I want to watch it again

889

01:
11:54,856 -- 01:11:56,254

OK.

890

01:
12:03,156 -- 01:12:04,451

That's all the footage?

891

01:
12:05,622 -- 01:12:06,883

What else?

892

01:
12:07,922 -- 01:12:10,319

Sir, I have to take your colleague

away to help in our investigation

893

01:
12:18,355 -- 01:12:18,980

Sir! Hello.

894

01:
12:21,722 -- 01:12:22,881

Go!

895

01:
12:40,989 -- 01:12:41,920

The suspect ran!

896

01:
13:17,790 -- 01:13:19,051

Mini B!

897

01:
13:19,857 -- 01:13:21,253

Mini B!

898

01:
14:44,557 -- 01:14:45,716

Don't!

899

01:
14:56,057 -- 01:14:57,648

Don't!

900

01:
15:10,125 -- 01:15:11,386

What are you doing?

901

01:
15:15,358 -- 01:15:16,324

Calling control!

902

01:
15:16,391 -- 01:15:17,947

The suspect grabbed a cab

in Laundry Street

903

01:
15:18,024 -- 01:15:19,853

Plate # DD870...

904

01:
15:19,924 -- 01:15:21,618

heading for Tai Kok Tsui

905

01:
15:21,691 -- 01:15:23,214

Please send for backup

to corner him

906

01:
15:26,457 -- 01:15:28,185

What a mess!

907

01:
15:29,558 -- 01:15:30,989

As expected

908

01:
15:36,357 -- 01:15:38,654

You know him still keep in

touch with Tung?

909

01:
15:39,425 -- 01:15:40,652

I wouldn't have reported him

if I knew this.

910

01:
15:40,725 -- 01:15:42,248

I would be kind to him, too

911

01:
15:42,891 -- 01:15:44,687

Those people in IIO...

912

01:
15:45,691 -- 01:15:46,487

get things done either

by stupid guesses work

913

01:
15:46,558 -- 01:15:48,217

or just for the sake of

working something out

914

01:
15:50,725 -- 01:15:53,919

I refused to work with Harry-boy

'cause I pitied him

915

01:
15:54,691 -- 01:15:56,658

You knew it from scratch, sir!

916

01:
15:57,658 -- 01:16:00,216

Which of your long term

undercover agents...

917

01:
16:00,292 -- 01:16:02,257

was able to work for long

after their return?

918

01:
16:05,226 -- 01:16:06,658

Harry-boy was just like

a piece of blank paper...

919

01:
16:07,258 -- 01:16:10,123

back in the Academy

920

01:
16:10,425 -- 01:16:12,823

You made him spend 8 years

with the triads

921

01:
16:13,358 -- 01:16:14,847

He ain't no superman...

922

01:
16:14,925 -- 01:16:16,152

to change back

into his uniform

923

01:
16:16,226 -- 01:16:17,590

and be ready to go out

and kick butts?

924

01:
16:18,092 -- 01:16:20,115

I wouldn't be able to tell

whether I was a cop or triad...

925

01:
16:20,192 -- 01:16:21,919

after 8 years, if it were me

926

01:
16:47,259 -- 01:16:49,248

Get out of my way!

watch me!

927

01:
16:49,325 -- 01:16:50,519

Hang on, Harry-boy!

928

01:
17:14,826 -- 01:17:16,189

Mini B!

929

01:
18:01,826 -- 01:18:04,020

Why did you frame me? Why?

930

01:
18:06,626 -- 01:18:08,650

You think you can get

away with this...

931

01:
18:08,727 -- 01:18:11,352

by coming to chat with me

after selling out Don Dark?

932

01:
18:16,060 -- 01:18:17,356

I have a boat to catch

933

01:
18:36,327 -- 01:18:38,385

Calling control, a wanted taxi was

found in Woo Chai Street

934

01:
18:38,460 -- 01:18:40,859

Plate # DD870, over

935

01:
19:12,561 -- 01:19:15,153

Help! Help!

936

01:
19:15,861 -- 01:19:18,793

Help!

937

01:
19:18,861 -- 01:19:19,451

What are you doing?

938

01:
19:19,527 -- 01:19:21,925

Don't come near! Go! Go away!

939

01:
19:22,394 -- 01:19:23,291

Calling control, it's Woo Chai

Street here.

940

01:
19:23,361 -- 01:19:24,326

A person is being held hostage

941

01:
19:24,394 -- 01:19:25,883

Please send backup, over

942

01:
19:31,061 -- 01:19:33,493

Keep cool, keep cool

943

01:
19:36,061 -- 01:19:38,755

Help! Help...

944

01:
19:39,228 -- 01:19:42,217

Let me take over here,

Madam So

945

01:
19:42,294 -- 01:19:43,022

I'll hand you Harry-boy

946

01:
19:43,095 -- 01:19:43,957

using normal procedures

when this is settled

947

01:
19:44,028 -- 01:19:44,958

Please wait for a moment

948

01:
19:45,028 -- 01:19:46,550

Help!

949

01:
19:50,595 -- 01:19:51,787

Stay where you are!

950

01:
19:52,528 -- 01:19:55,289

Don't come near!

Go... go away!

951

01:
19:55,361 -- 01:19:57,157

Pull him in, Harry-boy!

952

01:
19:57,228 -- 01:19:59,989

Don't come any nearer...

I'll drop him!

953

01:
20:01,062 -- 01:20:03,254

Pull him in.

I'll deal with the rest

954

01:
20:04,361 -- 01:20:05,691

You'll help me?

955

01:
20:06,195 -- 01:20:07,660

How?

956

01:
20:08,128 -- 01:20:11,424

I was framed in that IIO matter

957

01:
20:11,494 -- 01:20:13,859

I'm your superior, I don't want

anything happen to you

958

01:
20:16,028 -- 01:20:17,618

Who put me into all this?

959

01:
20:19,328 -- 01:20:22,853

You picked me for undercover

work in the Academy

960

01:
20:26,662 -- 01:20:28,889

How many times did I beg you

961

01:
20:29,728 -- 01:20:32,490

I just wanted to be

an ordinary cop

962

01:
20:33,895 -- 01:20:36,690

You said you'd arrange...

963

01:
20:37,162 -- 01:20:38,957

and it took you 8 years!

964

01:
20:39,229 -- 01:20:41,491

And I spent 8 years

living like a triad

965

01:
20:42,896 -- 01:20:44,452

Look at me...

966

01:
20:45,229 -- 01:20:47,752

I don't know what I am myself

967

01:
20:51,729 -- 01:20:53,717

Why did all this happen?

968

01:
20:53,795 -- 01:20:55,455

Colleagues don't trust me...

969

01:
20:56,596 -- 01:20:59,586

take me in, frame me...

970

01:
20:59,762 -- 01:21:02,285

Why's that?

971

01:
21:03,529 -- 01:21:06,494

I only want to be a real cop!

972

01:
21:12,429 -- 01:21:13,985

Don't come over!

OK!

973

01:
21:14,062 -- 01:21:15,323

Don't panic

974

01:
21:15,729 -- 01:21:17,422

I just want to talk with you

975

01:
21:23,796 -- 01:21:25,318

Stop!

976

01:
21:40,996 -- 01:21:42,394

We're face to face now

977

01:
21:42,863 -- 01:21:46,557

I look down, feeling you

really want to drop him

978

01:
21:48,729 -- 01:21:50,559

But when I looked up here

from downstairs...

979

01:
21:50,996 -- 01:21:53,122

I felt you really wanted

to save him

980

01:
21:53,863 -- 01:21:55,693

So when you look at

the same thing...

981

01:
21:56,263 -- 01:21:57,990

from different angles

982

01:
21:59,563 -- 01:22:03,518

Who knows whether you're a cop

or triad, or what's in your mind

983

01:
22:04,863 -- 01:22:07,296

It's normal that colleagues

are suspicious of you

984

01:
22:07,496 -- 01:22:10,759

Having to work with a partner

who's been undercover for 8 years

985

01:
22:10,830 -- 01:22:12,387

You would've acted the same

if it were you, right?

986

01:
22:13,697 -- 01:22:17,629

You've been awarded a Certificate

for Bravery, lucky you!

987

01:
22:19,063 -- 01:22:20,723

How many of us work

our whole lives long...

988

01:
22:20,797 -- 01:22:22,660

and have nothing left the day
