was the son of the bank owner

They wanted $100 million for ransom

Prepare to move in

Sniper team and assault team stand by

Hold it.

His family will pay the ransom

Alright. Everyone,

back to one

Who fired the shot?

As a sniper,

Lincoln was impeccable

That's what...

the Special Force needs

Hartman recruited you...

because of your confidence too

But over-confidence...

may ruin you

Lincoln

Explain to us,

why you fired that shot?

I saw Tao about to pull...

the grenade pin

I had to...

neutralize the crisis

Did you report this...

to your superiors?

If I had time,

I wouldn't need to shoot

As Lincoln's partner,

did you see Tao

pull the grenade pin?

No, Sir. I was...

only the spotter

a subtle movement like that

could only be perceived

by the sniper, not the spotter

You were the sniper on 2

Have you taken...

your eyes off Tao?

No, Sir

You saw...

every move he made?

Yes, Sir

You saw him...

pull the grenade pin?

No, Sir

Lincoln, you're suspended as of today

Your case will be forwarded

to the Department of Justice

No one can support your testimony

Why isn't anyone there to stand behind me?

Hartman must have seen it,

even if others didn't

He was sentenced to 4 years in jail

for manslaughter

You'll need dynamite to...

blow the vault

I have a plan

The vault is very near...

the Police station

Leave the cops to me

You missed and failed

to kill me 4 years ago

Never thought you'd saved me the other day

It's our destiny

will come in 2 minutes

each carrying 5 cops. 25 in total

SDU, assault team and sniper team...

will have you locked down in 10 minutes

You won't be going anywhere, Tao

How much should I pay...

for my freedom?

A lot

He was a cop

I don't trust him...

either

He's been watching us. I'll get him

I've been worried about you

You're really working for those men?

Everything I do is for us

You won't be sorry?

Only those who owe me will be sorry

Jenny

Go get Daddy a bottle of water

Why did you do it?

No matter what you have lost

you still have us

Why were you the one who saved me?

I don't want you anymore

Don't you get it?

Why did you save me?

I don't want you to see me like this

Go away

Get out

Daddy, your water

Thanks

Who gave you this?

A guy

How's your wife?

She's fine but a bit emotional

What are you going to do?

I'll play it by ear

I must...

look after her

There's a reason for everything

I have seen Lincoln

Shane, I need a favor

What is it?

Take a week off

What do you have in mind?

You're my only friend...

on the team

What do you mean?

What are you planning to do to the team?

It's you who hijacked the prison van?

You were a cop

If you want to know, ask Hartman

For 4 years, I've never asked you

or doubted you

I won't ask again after today

About Lincoln's sentence

was your testimony the truth?

I told them what I saw

Lincoln had no reason to fire that shot

He judged everything from his perspective

He thought he saw Tao pull the pin

and assumed I saw it too

He thinks I was lying

He killed the hostage because of arrogance

He thought each shot was within his control

This phone and SMS are...

related to the hijack of the van

I know Lincoln did it, but got no proof

Too many cops were wounded

We can't let them run wild

We must catch him

Excuse me

What is it?

Have you seen this man?

He just moved into 8A

Thanks

- Get out, go - Stop...

Damn

Tao, run

Officer down...

Call for backup

Back off

Don't move

Back off

Watch out. He turned on the gas

Iceman and Forest King on 2

OJ and Metal on 3

Virus and Russia on 4

Rabbit, you're the backup. Move it

No. Rabbit and Metal on 3, OJ as backup

Why wait? Move it

Go. Go. Go

We're preparing the money and the car

Some of the hostages are sick

Can you release some of them?

Not until I get the money

S1 on PO

S2 on PO

S3 on PO

S4 on PO

Inspector Fong

We have cut off the gas supply

Call off the negotiator.

Assault team stand by

Bravo ready

Charlie ready

Hostages are blocking the view

S1 cannot get a head shot

What about S2?

S2 negative

He's stepping out with a hostage

Assault team, corner him to S3 and S4

Charlie in

Bravo in

The gas has not cleared away

Hold fire. Corner him...

Stay back or I'll kill him

Back off

Back off. Back off

Back off

S3, S4 stand by. Shoot to kill

S3 negative

What about S4?

He's coming this way

He stopped by the exhaust fan

and found cover

Find your position

S4 negative

S5 confirm

Head shot, shoot to kill

Stay back, I said back off

Officer

Are there any casualties?

You took a clean shot...

under the circumstances

How do you feel?

I have no comment

Save it for those bastards...

when they are arrested

Care to comment?

Say a few words

Come on

Didn't you hear me?

I said shoot to kill

We need him alive...

to crack the case

That's none of your business

Our job is to kill the criminal

and save the hostages,

not to crack the case

Every cop wants to crack the case, Sir

I know I can do it. I did nothing wrong

It's not for you to decide

People could have died...

if you missed

I'm a sniper

I shoot only when I'm confident

I can hit the target

Why are you picking on me?

Why should I?

I'm your commander. You do as I say

No one should act on their own

If you can't deal with it, just leave

What now? How can we save Big Head?

We'll do this deal first

When this is over,

I'll do everything to save him

I know him. He was in my cell

He's crazy

Are you alright?

I'm fine

Can you still do it?

Of course

Assault team stand by

Sniper clear

Assault team, in...

Tomorrow is an important day

After tomorrow, your victory and glory

will be yours again

We'll go anywhere you want...

and never come back

I haven't felt your presence for a while

Now I can feel it again

Of course

We'll be happy from now on

Lincoln, who are you talking to?

Crystal

Crystal is dead

What are you saying? She's not dead

She's right here with me

You better face the reality, Lincoln

Reality? What is reality?

You're a cop, so was I

Why? Why wouldn't anyone help me?

I was doing my job, not out to kill anyone

Why?

Why won't anyone defend me?

Why won't they help me?

Why?

I know...

You're afraid of me

You can't beat me because...

I'm the best

As long as I'm here,

you'll never be top shooter

Lincoln, stop before it's too late

You did nothing wrong, they did

I want justice

Justice? You shot me

You call that justice?

Why won't you leave me alone?

I didn't mean to kill you. Don't blame me

I'll pay you back

You shot him 'coz you're arrogant

You have no right to be the top shooter

You defamed me because you're jealous

You'll never beat me

I lost everything because of you

Hartman, it was all your fault

It was your fault...

It was your fault...

Calm down

It was your fault

Leave me alone.

I don't wanna see your face ever again

Sniper team, attention

Salute

Tao, here's your bomb disposal car

Inspector Ho, this is Lincoln
