Madam surprised me!

I didn't think she would help us

I promised to live with her afterwards

Does she believe you?

Probably...

But I'm not so sure after her slap...

Madam, 9 am

Rendezvous on the Western Promenade

Give me the bag

Use the walkie-talkie in emergency

Channel 3 is more secured

Remember, press this to talk...

We don't need walkie-talkies

I won't stay behind

Ho-yin!

Chi

Why don't you just drop off the ransom?

Why do people always have to get hurt?

That's my question

I thought I knew you well

But now we've turned into strangers

We were strangers

you befriended us...

lt's only redemption

No, I treated you as my family!

Not me!

Qian is my only relative

We need money now. you can help?

Of course!

you quit now. I let you go.

I can't!

I shouldn't have trusted you 3 years ago

Now I only trust myself

Quit if you believe in yourself!

Or I'll turn you in

Where are you going to get the money?

Please... calm down... madam

lnspector Lo!

Superintendent!

Ho Chi

Chi

yuen-chun, where are you?

When did you switch your cell phone?

Only last night

No need to check on me so early

Let's cut the crap

Did you know yeung is behind this?

Chi has found their hideaway,

Regrettably, he has been killed

Suspect and hostage have gone

yuen-chun, listen! Stop messing about!

yuen-chun!

Why? Why did yeung kill Chi?

Why did you kill Chi...

you've crossed the line...

There's no turning back!

you've killed Chi...

And you will kill my son

Ho-yin will be fine

I'm sure of that!

I won't play into your hand

Stop scaring yourself

you won't get a dime

No, calm down!

Stop scaring yourself!

She can't be trusted anymore

I won't pay a ransom...

She won't get a dime

you listen to me

We can't give up on Ho-yin

He must still be alive!

She wouldn't spare Ho-yin

Our son could already be dead

Ho-yin is still alive!

Trust me

What's up?

Trust me?

yes!

yuen-chan, come back!

you come back here!

Come back!

Any problem with checking out?

Of course not!

The orderly found me a cab

I'm on my way

lt takes 20 minutes to airport

The flight leaves at one. No hurry

Hello?

Been waiting long?

Wrong number!

you are waiting for the ransom?

yes, but l didn't think you'd be late

I didn't think you would be Lam Hiu-yeung

Who I am is not important

Giving up on your son already?

I didn't give up

Except that the rules have changed

I know this game better than you

Oh? I thought you'd forgotten...

the experience of...

having a relative kidnapped

Kidnappers want ransom

My ransom is my son!

- Meet in 3 minutes behind the toilet

- I...

Kidnappers hate bargaining

Mom!

Shoot! Shoot me!

you'll never see your son again

lf I never see him again

you'll pay with your husband's life!

you're a responsible cop

I don't believe you'd hurt him

lf not, you wouldn't have come

you've changed the place

I only wanted money

I won't give you a dime!

To be honest...

I assume my son is dead

I only want his body

your last chance

I accept

Qian...

Qian! Qian...

I didn't ask you to come

Hiu-yeung, quit!

Or there is no return!

lf one can abandon one's dearest...

There's no point in kidnapping

I'm running out of patience

lf you don't free my boy,

you'll watch him suffer!

Don't touch him

Where's my son?

Leave him alone!

Where?

He's dead!

I want his body!

lt's you... you've killed your son

Get an ambulance

you're right

I gave up on our son

I'm sorry

Where are you?

I'm so sorry

Don't do anything stupid

This is what I call ''bad intention''!

you've frightened him

Get out!

Mom

Thank God!
