was shot up like a honeycomb.

Do you know how much in reparation

we paid? Think about it!

Mr. Chow, we've made all the

arrangements for the policewoman.

This is Peter, a computer expert

we hired from America.

This is Ben. He'll be in charge

of our security.

Interesting.

Are you a chess aficionado?

- Are you up for a match?

- Absolutely!

Please.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Hey, you're a year older.

- What?

- Happy birthday!

- How did you know?

- Someone sent you a birthday cake.

Looks like your boyfriend wanted to

surprise you. It's on your desk.

Hello?

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Well? Do you like the cake?

You're so clever!

You know I'm watching you.

Why are you so angry?

Doesn't the cake taste great?

Sorry, Lynn.

Mom, do I still have to jump?

If you disobey your elder sister again,

you'll jump until dawn, understand?

- Is the cake I ordered ready yet?

- It's ready.

There you go.

Thank you!

- Hello?

- Well? Do you know who I am?

What? Are you afraid?

How did you get my number?

You're a regular customer here.

It was easy to find out.

You're very clever. You put the cake

in a plain white box.

But as soon as I tasted it, I knew it

came from the Orchid Bakery.

You're not the only one who

appreciates great cake. Look outside.

My car!

- Police! Stop.

- To hell with that!

You! Get out!

I'm WIP3662 Kong Yat-hung, following

a suspect on Causeway Road.

License plate number

Juliet Victor 955. Requesting backup!

This is HQ. A suspect's been spotted.

License plate Juliet Victor 955.

Car 1 copy.

Hello?

- Hurry and help me!

- What's happening?

I'm being chased by patrol cars!

- What's your location?

- Tung Lo Wan and Causeway Road.

Hold on.

- Lynn, hurry!

- Wait.

- Have you found me?

- I'm trying.

- Got you!

- So where do I go?

There are alleyways where you can

escape. Get off the bridge first.

I can't hear you clearly. Speak louder!

- Police have blocked the road.

- What should I do?

There's an exit on your left.

- I can't see it!

- You're 400 meters away.

...200...

...100, 50...

...turn!

Thirty, turn!

Lynn!

Help me, Lynn!

Got you.

What do I do now?

Reverse. There's an exit behind you.

Crash through the two police cars.

Crash through!

Sue!

Lynn!

Lynn!

Lynn!

Sue!

Sue.

I'm sorry.

I forgot you're a big girl now.

I remember when we were little, every

time we did something wrong...

...Mommy only pretended to be angry.

No matter what you've done now...

...I won't blame you, just as Mommy

never blamed us.

You're looking

at your boyfriend again?

- Stop it!

- Leave me alone! You're overacting!

- Overacting?

- Give it back!

- Give it to me.

- Come and get it!

- Come and get it!

- Give it to me.

Have you seen this person?

She was murdered today.

Much of the evidence at the scene

of the crime points to you.

Impossible.

You've been framed. I know who did it.

You'll be dead if you stay here. The

only way to survive is to come with me.

You speak as if I have no choice.

You have two choices:

A:
We leave together. B: I kill you,

then I leave.

You know what? There's at least one

more letter in the English alphabet.

Besides A and B, there's C behind me.

Anti-Corruption came to see me today.

A deposit was recently made into your

bank account. But I don't believe them.

Now only you can help yourself.

I don't know what to say. Thank you.

If you help me avenge

my sister's death...

...I'll give you the recording of her

murder and cooperate with you.

Why are you so sure

I'll cooperate with you?

I understand you.

Really?

We're opposites, but I think you're

somehow attracted to me.

What is it? Are you regretting this?

Let me be clear.

I won't help you kill anyone.

- I'll only help you work the computer.

- That's all I need.

We definitely can't let

the two of them go.

As long as they are alive, I will not

sleep. Do you understand me?!

I understand. We've enhanced

the security system.

You should go away for a bit. When

we take care of them, you come back.

Sometimes the most dangerous place

turns out to be the safest.

To catch a small fish

in a large ocean...

...I think you might as well wait

and let it swim into your net.

That's exactly what I think.

This is incredible.

Your sister used this to rescue you

that last time?

This computer directly controls

the World Panorama.

I've installed new software.

You'll have to know it thoroughly

before tomorrow.

Boyfriend?

What boyfriend?

Him.

He's not bad, but he's too passive. I

like men to be a bit more aggressive.

I have a question for you:

If I was a police officer

rather than an assassin...

...would you choose him, or me?

Never mind.

Actually, I didn't need to ask.

When you were dreaming yesterday,

you already said it.

You're a soldier, and I'm a bandit.

Hey.

Be careful.

Section A, B, C and D elevators

will be on the 87th floor.

Only Elevator 1 in section A will work

in the lobby. Do you copy?

Copy that.

Operations are normal upstairs.

You must all be careful, okay?

Everything's set. It's up to you now.

I know you don't really trust me,

but in helping you, I'm helping myself.

A man like Chow Nunn isn't worth

protecting with the law.

I had another dream yesterday.

I didn't arrest you.

- Let's get to work, Hung!

- Take care of yourself, Sue.

The fish has taken the bait.

Mr. Chow...

...this is DG 747 anti-hacking system.

Five minutes is all this baby and I

need to locate the trespasser...

...strike back and wipe it out.

Got you!

The target is in section C.

Get the elevator up now!

There's trouble in section C.

Why is she in block A?

- What's going on?

- Where is she now?

Send some men down there.

The others stay upstairs.

Copy. Somebody's over there.

- What happened?

- Don't worry, we'll handle it.

Are you all right?

I'm okay.

Tell me when you get there.

I'll input more virtual people.

Their men are concentrated

on floors 89, 88 and 87.

Be careful. We can't afford

to lose this time!

Doctor?

The target is in section A,

going towards B.

Careful! She's now behind you!

No, she's not!

Gotcha! Wonderful!

Simulated images.

Almost the worthy adversary.

But not good enough.

Gentlemen, now is where

we get to play with her.

Tell the men on 88 to go down

to the fire escape in section A.

Why did the virtual people disappear?

Three.

Two.

One. Done.

Where do I go now?

Leave section A.

Go to the fire escape of section B.

What happened? Why did it do that?

Don't ask me! I was ambushed.

Why'd you let me go there?

Anyone in section C?

I guess it's no problem.

Well done!

You b*tch! How dare you mislead me!

Well?

I didn't. I really didn't see

there were people there. Believe me.

I'd rather trust myself than you.

I'll get back at you, even in death.

- Are you threatening me?

- I won't speak to scum like you.

Scum? Hello? All right!

I'm coming after you.

I'm coming right now.

Sue! Sue!
