Synopsis: International Security Affairs agent Jon is on a dangerous mission to escort a criminal scientist to another country. En route, a member of his team, Sean, turns out to be a traitor and shoots Jon in the head while kidnapping the scientist. When Jon wakes up in the hospital, a doctor tells him that within weeks, the bullet in his brain will cause complete paralysis. Jon returns to Beijing to see his mother, who confesses that Jon has a brother in Malaysia who was raised by his father, a gambler. Jon takes a flight to Malaysia to find his brother, Yeung. On the plane he forms a bond with Dr. Kan, who promises to look into possible treatments for his condition. However, when they arrive, Yeung tries to kidnap the doctor and when Jon intervenes, he's also taken hostage. The two soon realize they're brothers, and decide to work together in order to keep the criminals behind the kidnappings from reinfecting the world of a disease long thought cured.

Sir, you cannot park here.

I'm waiting for someone.

I'll be leaving soon.

Go as soon as you can.

Dr. Kan, I need to examine

what's in your hands...

Stop!

Calling control room, calling control room...

Freeze!

If they get caught, we're in trouble.

Get rid of them.

Police! Get out! Get out!

Hello?

Dad, bring Champ to the train station now.

What's going on, Yeung?

Don't ask, just go now!

Turn around. Go to the train station!

Miss, can you hear me? Are you okay?

There are two injured civilians

outside the ACDC...

Don't kill a cop!

I'm your younger brother!

Those cops are in on it!

Jon! Get in!

Sit tight!

Police! Move! Move! Move!

Yeung, we're at the train station.

Wait at the ticket office.

Move! Police!

Find a vantage point.

Speak.

Man Tin is at the station

and made a phone call.

Keep your eye on him.

Anything happens, take the girl.

Don't come over. Police are tailing you.

What's going on?

The police want to kill me. I can't come out.

I'll leave you tickets. Wait for my call.

You see the electronic appliances booth?

Yes.

Walk over there.

Stop.

Do you see his father?

Do you see his father?

Near the convenience store!

Dad, board the train; I'll come for you.

Hurry! Hurry!

Grandpa!

Champ, go!

Go!

Hurry

Catch the train!

The train to Gemas is about to depart.

All passengers please abroad now.

Go on!

Call HQ, contact the Railway Department!

How's Yeung?

He couldn't get on?

Look Champ. it's Dad.

Dad...

Champ

- Yeung.

- Dad.

Sit.

Yeung, he's your younger brother.

Turn yourself in.

Those cops are in on this.

Turning himself in would be suicide.

You were once a cop too.

Have you thought about Champ?

She can't lose you.

Do you want her to spend her life

in hiding with you?

Turn yourself in with me.

Stop it! Get out! Get out!

We're not going to see your mother!

You're so selfish.

Had you thought about your family,

you wouldn't be here now.

And you call yourself a father.

That's not up to you to say!

Yeung!

Yeung, stop it!

Yeung! Stop!

Quit it, you two...

Stop, Yeung!

Stop it...

Stop it!

It's my fault. I was never good enough.

That's why your mom left Yeung and l.

Did she ever consider...

A broken mirror can never be whole again?

Your brother and I chose the same path.

He is a thief

but he's a righteous thief

who takes good care of Champ and me.

I'm the one responsible for this.

I took away decades of love

between you brothers.

Jon...

You must forgive him.

I can't. I'm a cop.

Jon...

What's wrong, Jon?

Evacuate the workers in the depot now.

We'll arrest them when the train stops.

Delay those cops!

Dad, something's wrong. We need to go.

Take care.

Police. Don't move!

Take Champ and hide.

Outlaws on the train...

You are surrounded by police.

Turn in your weapons and surrender now.

Stop!

Don't hurt my family!

Yeung! Take Champ and run!

Leave me behind. I can't get away.

Hurry!

Come out, Champ.

Go!

Cover your ears.

Move! Move!

Go!

Champ, come down.

Champ!

Help...

Champ!

Hands up!

Man Yeung has many hideouts.

I'll go look for him.

Hide the girl.

Yes, sir.

Get in.

In any case,

you shouldn't have run

away with your brother.

You are now a suspect in the ACDC case.

I believe you'd never do this,

but only I believe you.

As long as your brother is at large,

you're implicated.

Just don't let anything happen to my brother.

But he is a repeat felon.

How can I help him?

Damn, he's Yeung's brother.

His oral statement indicates our involvement.

Don't worry, we're halfway through this.

When the hospital quiets down, kill him.

Sean, I want to talk to you

about your former partner Jon Man.

Doctor, why so late?

You want to kill me?

Give me my daughter back.

I'll give you your stuff.

Quick. Where are you keeping her?

Speak!

She's in the old building on Pudu Street.

Where is my daughter?

Where is my daughter?

I'll kill your daughter...

Where is my daughter?

I'll take you there...

Hey!

Help!

Help...

Where is my daughter?

Last night, someone tried to kill me

at the hospital.

They were Russell's men.

There is no use telling me this now.

You're on the most wanted list,

with orders to shoot to kill.

Do me a favour Jon, turn yourself in.

Surrender.

Not yet. I know where Champ is.

Don't act rash.

Jon?

Walter, Ross.

Go secure the entrance.

You know,

I never told Russell to harm you,

he's the one that sold you out.

Go get the money.

That's 600,000 dollars.

Let's make this simple,

you give me what I want,

you can have your daughter back.

You have my word.

Go tell Keith to bring his daughter up.

Bring Dr. Kan and her mom over.

Where's my stuff?

Dr. Kan, there's a USB drive on the desk,

with the formula in it.

You need to extract the smallpox DNA

and Carnot RNA specified in the formula,

do you understand?

Combine them together to

create the mutated virus.

Now, I know what the formation

should look like,

so please do not be sneaky.

If it doesn't match,

you'll watch your mom die.

Let us go now.

You're an expert on viruses,

you should know that the human body

is the most ideal incubator.

What do you want?

Please don't hurt my mother...

I've given you everything you want...

Freeze!

Hand over your guns!

Sean, only two fingers.

You know I'm faster than you right?

Take your jacket off.

Hey! You and me... we're the same.

All we want is the money.

But if you let him ruin everything,

not only will you lose the money,

you'll never see your daughter again,

ever.

We will rescue Champ. Don't let him go.

Get down!

Man Yeung, stop!

Sean, you go first!

Why did you do that?

Ice was collateral damage.

It's over.

Only I have the antidote in the whole world.

Let me go

or she will be the next collateral damage.

Bring Dr. Kan for the girl. I'll call you.

Man Yeung! Stop running!

Get in.

Do they still have Champ?

You'll die if you don't go to the hospital.

I won't go!

Brother...

Help me...

Just this once.

I wouldn't have guessed

you'd see me like this.

When we were kids...

What were we like?

You were two; you were like a lump of tofu.

Your nickname was Tofu.

Mom told me.

I've always loved eating her tofu soup.

Brother, forgive mom.

She feels so much guilt.

We've been apart for so long.

I have no feelings for her. She's a stranger.

I felt nothing for dad...

when I first came.

I'd been fatherless for over 20 years...

But when he fell in front of me,

I felt him return.

What dad and I have is different from you.

Dad brought me here when I was 12.

He still loved to gamble.

I hated him.

I was determined to make something of myself

so no one would despise me.

I chose this path when I was 16.

A few years later, I stole my boss' stock...

No!

$200,000... Thank you!

Thank you Boss, for sparing his life!

You're lucky you got the money,

you degenerate gambler.

He would have died here tonight.

I guarantee my son will

never touch your stuff.

Thank you.

Not that way... this way.

Gui said you would take it easy on us.
