So Close
Mr. Chow, the virus that has
infected the mainframe can't be cured.
It's threatening to
wipe out the entire system.
Chairman Chow, you must take
control of the situation immediately.
If this continues, our stock
will plummet when the market opens.
We'll suffer significant
losses in the EU market.
- Chow Lui, what shall we do?
- Pay them off.
If we do,
they'll come back for more.
Our computers are protected by a
world-class first-rate security system.
Clients invest in us because
we guarantee absolute safety.
It's obvious that our mainframe is
being attacked by an external virus.
If we don't pay them off,
our reputation will be ruined.
No amount of money
can compensate for that.
Something called the Computer
Angel is getting rid of the virus!
Thank God! We're fine again.
Find this Computer Angel for me.
Who is this Angel?
Someone we can use.
How can I help you, miss?
- I'm here to see Mr. Chow Lui.
- Who shall I tell him...?
- The Computer Angel.
- One moment, please.
You want to buy $20 billion
of Dragon stock.
I think this is crazy.
I won't sanction it.
- Have you thought about...?
May, show her up.
Right away, Chairman Chow.
Alice, please turn down Dragon
on behalf of Nunn.
Sister-in-law, let's discuss this
in my office.
Sure. Don't stay too late tonight.
Control Center to Mr. Yip. Over.
Someone called the Computer
Angel is in the lobby...
...claiming to have an appointment
with Chow. Do you receive?
I'm Yip, Chairman Chow's chief of
security. We have to perform a search.
- She doesn't have weapons on her.
- Thank you.
This way, please.
Chairman Chow is waiting upstairs.
Mr. Yip, please go with them.
This way, please.
I'm May, Chairman Chow's secretary.
Sorry about just now.
Mr. Chow rarely receives visitors
nowadays, so our security's a bit tight.
- How are you?
- How do you do?
Please have a seat.
Do you have a name besides
Computer Angel?
Computer Virus!
I'm both Virus and Angel. The invasion
and battle against your computer...
...is my organization's
best optical illusion.
We were simply manipulating
the images on your screens.
None of your data was affected.
The only things we disabled were your
portals and prevention systems.
That's why it looked so realistic.
So much for the opening speech.
What's your point?
You've amassed your fortune through
smuggling and drugs.
It's an evil fortune.
You're impossible to approach
unless it's at your own bidding.
So I've come here to...
It's such a pity that you're so
intelligent.
Even if you had a cannon you
wouldn't be able to touch me.
Why do you think I put the glasses in
there?
That much cyanide would poison
a quarter...
...of the rush-hour subway crowd.
All units, Chairman Chow's in trouble,
check it out! Do you copy?
I copy!
Target destroyed.
I'm leaving the scene.
The police have picked up the alarm.
They'll be there in 5 minutes.
The guards on the 87 floor are
forming into groups:
Two in the elevator, five by the
stairs, two are at the lobby elevators.
I'm corrupting the screens in
dispatch...
...and cutting off their communication.
Look.
What's happening? What's going on?
Let's listen to a song.
- What's going on?
- What happened?
Why is there music?
Hey, what's going on?
Count to 20 and go down.
One, two, three...
They're about 80 meters from you...
...at 10:
00, four men total.Forty meters...
...30 meters...
...20, 10, 5, here.
- Eight, nine...
May, what's going on?
Now count to 20 and go back up.
Five...
...four, three, two, one. This image
will play in a continuous loop.
You may vacate the premises.
Control Center calling all units.
Target is located.
She's in an elevator in section C.
Wait for her on the 40th floor.
I'll lock the elevator
when it arrives there.
Do you copy? Over.
Out of the way!
Here!
- No one's there!
- You're joking? Isn't she inside?
Don't forget the cake and candies I
ordered from the Orchid Bakery.
Cut!
Mom and Dad! I'm here again.
I have a complaint.
I'm Sue, I am 8 years old.
Come to Daddy!
Daddy, what are you doing?
Daddy is inventing something that will
change the course of human history.
If it works, it will connect by
satellite...
...all the CCTV systems in every
building in the world...
...and be able to see
what people are doing.
Wow! That's like the eye in the sky.
See, Mom, she always bullied me
and nothing's changed.
Gazing at your boyfriend again?
You're so mushy.
Spit out the gum. You're disgusting!
Do you remember me?
I come back every year to visit my
cousin's grave.
I thought I'd run into you
at the cemetery.
A few years ago you suddenly
disappeared.
I asked lots of people, but no one knew
where you'd gone.
Something happened
to my family that year...
...so my younger sister and I moved.
Are you still working at that American
magazine? Nothing's changed?
Everything's the same with me.
What about you?
All right, I'm going to New York
tomorrow on the noon flight.
Here's my telephone number.
I hope I'll see you again before I go.
What are you thinking about?
The baker must have really upset you.
This job was so clean, what are you
worried about?
- What's the fuzzy thing?
- It's hair.
Is she that tall?
Hey, what are you doing?
- You're asking me?
- Yes.
I'm not tall enough, so I need to climb
up this ladder...
...to inspect the ceiling.
Perhaps a 0.5- inch-diameter hole
between 1.6 and 1.7 inches deep.
This is very interesting.
Why? According to my analysis, it's
very possible that the hole was made...
...by an outstanding pair of pointed
No one's asking you what it is.
I'm asking you who you are.
Forensics. I'm new.
Oh, a rookie. Go, and come back
when you know a bit more stuff.
No problem, Sergeant Ho Chi-kwong.
How did she know my name?
- What's her background?
- Who knows?
I do. She is Kong Yat-hung.
She used to be with Criminal
Psychology, then trained in the U. S...
...and recently came back
to Hong Kong.
Oh, really? And who are you?
Ma Siu-ma. I was with Traffic, but I did
well, so I was sent to train in Zhuhai.
Now they've transferred me back to be
Kong Yat-hung's assistant.
What are you doing here?
You told her to leave, but didn't tell
me, so I'm still working.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Is she crazy?
Don't assume she's a fool.
I'll bet she can run circles around you.
Is she so great?
Let me check her out.
She has exactly the same birthday
as you.
No wonder she's so intelligent.
Officer Hung,
I've discovered something.
Security said the killer's face wasn't
recorded on camera.
The guards were all shot in the leg.
This killer is quite something.
This killer is quite something.
You know it's harder to shoot someone
in the leg than shoot him dead?
Those men had no time to fight back.
They said, "Ouch" and passed out.
Why not say, "Argh," and pass out?
