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.

He's right.

Why else would I have taken your money?

I have a reputation to uphold.

This is only the 6th floor.

If you both jump off,

I'll leave this all behind.

Son, be brave.

We're both tough.

Let's go!

Don't die...

Yeung, don't die.

What I share with dad, you'll never have.

Dispatch, there is a

suspected fugitive vehicle.

Requesting confirmation.

I know dad was a bad cop.

I became a cop so mom would forget him.

But I never imagined...

Mom would miss you guys so much.

Please go see her.

How can l, with the way I am now?

This is from mom.

Don't make it worse for yourself.

Freeze! Freeze! Don't move!

You took my daughter; what do you want?

Take care of something for me first.

At 10:
00, Dr. Kan will be escorted by the IDC

to the Police Air Base.

Take her out and meet me at

Golden Triangle at 10:30.

Yeung, I know you won't forgive me.

Sean wants me in exchange for your niece?

They can cultivate the virus using her body.

But they need you;

there must be unfinished business.

I'm worried about Champ, too.

The virus has been inside her for 24 hours.

If she's not injected with the

antidote in 10 hours,

she will die.

IDC is taking me to the...

Singapore Medical Authority

so I can research and

manufacture an antidote,

but we cannot finish the job in 10 hours.

Then, I become an accomplice in her murder.

Dr. Kan, we have to go. Come on.

Ross.

Ross.

Sean still needs Rachel; I can lure him out.

Let me out first.

Jon, even though Dr. Kan's statement favours you,

they're not going to release you.

It's not our turf.

They're going to transfer you

to a maximum security prison.

I'm trying every single way possible

to locate Sean and your brother.

I need to get them before

I can get you out of here.

Wait for me.

I'm out of time.

You know I don't have time!

Ross! Ross!

Chopper 4, 3 minutes to tower.

That's a very serious crime.

I don't have a choice.

You must help me.

Only you can help me find Sean.

Please.

Get off!

Man Yeung! Put the gun down!

Jon escaped. He's coming here.

What you just did, there's no turning back...

Chopper 1, Chopper 2, ready for take off.

Chopper 4 has been taken hostage.

Get ready to chase Chopper 4.

Control, please locate Chopper 4 now.

Land at Golden Triangle.

Sean wants me to hand over the hostage there.

Chopper 4 is over Bukit Bintang...

heading towards Puchong.

Tactical Low!

This is Chopper 1,

Chopper 4 has changed direction.

All ground units head

towards Golden Triangle.

Dive down. Faster.

Attention all ground units.

The helicopter kidnapped by the suspect has

already changed direction

heading towards Golden Triangle.

Please respond to location immediately.

Bank left!

Attention all ground units.

Immediately go to Tun Razak car park area.

Suspect helicopter will be landing shortly.

Zero in on the prohibited area.

All officers from zone A and B

please rush to the area.

Put it on.

I can track you if anything happens.

Sean, we're at Golden Triangle.

There are two cars parked on the shoulder

across the street.

Go there and wait.

Lucky you made it in time.

Don't worry...

There's still time to see where you rank

in the top ten wealthiest.

You should know how

much time the girl has left.

There's eleven of Kenner's formulas

inside that PDA.

You created the virus,

no one is more clear on

its variables than you.

Analyze each formula to

get the right combination

to create the medicine and the vaccine.

It's all up to you, doctor.

Tell the captain to start the engine.

All right.

Mark, the vaccine is being made.

The girl is useless.

Get rid of her.

Champ, Champ...

Champ...

Champ...

Yeung!

Sean, Sean...

Don't open it.

Sean has injected the virus into Champ.

I heard them say Dr. Kan

is making the antidote.

Hide Champ, I'll go find Rachel.

Go to the engine room and keep them

from starting the ship.

Be careful.

Stay in touch.

Mike, why haven't we started moving yet?

Well go and find out what's going on.

Grenade!

Rachel.

The antidote formulas are all in here.

Don't lose it. Go, quickly.

Go!

Are you okay?

Shoot if anything happens.

Catch it. Go.

Yeung, Rachel fell under the deck.

I'm going down now.

I'll come over.

It's alright...

PDA...

I dropped the PDA...

I dropped the PDA...

Don't worry, it's here.

Hang in there.

Sean! He's here!

Jon!

Get ready to do your b*tch!

Come out!

Hang in there, brother.

We still have a chance.

Yeung, Sean shoots too fast.

The only way is, we both go out together.

When he shoots one of us,

the other will have a chance to shoot him.

Remember, I told you, we're very tough.

I've had the same dream almost every night.

Our whole family was at sea...

One by one you'd disappear.

In the end, only I was left.

Brother

That feeling is back...

I finally know who reached out

and saved me in my dream.

We've been apart for over two decades...

But he never left me.

Yeung

I know you will not forgive me.

I cannot forgive myself.

I called your father selfish

but in the end, so was l.

If I had the chance to choose again,

I would never leave you.

It is right that you don't forgive me

but I beg you to accept your younger brother.

Do you remember? When you were kids...

You loved him very much.

I didn't have the courage to tell him

that it was me who separated the two of you.

I caused your father to lose a son.

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry.

I am old.

I may never

have the chance to see you again.

I just want you to know...

Since you are now a father,

I hope you will make plans for your child.

You must take the path you

were meant to take.

Don't be like me...

Or you will regret it all your life.

Take care of yourself.

Mom...

Champ, come.

Dad has made mistakes which I've never faced.

I'm going to own up to them.

I'll be back soon.

Stay with grandma from now on, understand?

Meet your grandma.

Grandma.

Good girl.

Where's Jon?

When you leave this world,

the people in your heart

will continue the journey with you.

You will always have them,

even though they may not be with you.

If I can only choose one kind of 'forever',

And, they are my 'forever'.
