Z Storm

Synopsis: This is a story about the biggest financial fraud attempted in Hong Kong, directed at the Government of Hong Kong and involved all 7 million Hong Kong citizens... no one is free from the scheme. Within the four decades of guarding Hong Kong's financial integrity, the ICAC has never come across an opponent so huge and so well organized as in the Z Torrent file... shadowy figures from the underworld of South America, Italy and Europe all ready to plot against the estimated 150 million dollars of Hong Kong citizens' tax money which was pooled in a fund called the WELFARE FUND. High profile chartered accountants, high ranking law enforcers, power lawyers, the super entrepreneurs; they all have their shares of play but none can really grasp the big picture; they are there only for what they desire most. When the wife of an up-rising star Superintendent of police force reported his corruption simply out of bitterness for being ill-treated, little did she know she is about to pull the head st

Police!

Lock down the elevators.

Leave one to take us to 34/F.

- Lock down the elevators.

- Thank you.

Lock them all but that one.

Commercial Crime Bureau!

This is a search warrant issued by the Court.

Hands off your computers

and put them on your desk.

Police! Open the door!

Stop!

Come on...

Ho Sir! Open it!

I told you to stop. What were you doing?

Ho!

Tell the boys to take all the computers

and files.

I'll handle this.

Yes, Sir!

Mr. Law,

the godfather of accounting in Hong Kong

certainly has nimble fingers.

But too bad, this is 2014.

You can't delete anything anymore.

Let's forget about the Police for now,

anyone in any shop in Mongkok or Shamshuipo

can retrieve all the files.

Unless the computer disappeared,

then there's nothing the judge can do about it.

Hello, everyone.

Wong Sir, regarding the money laundering case

involving Law & Chan accounting firm...

the CCB has already started an investigation,

why are the suspects discharged suddenly?

No way!

To date, we do not have enough evidence

to pursue the matter further.

- I gave them all the details...

- Does that mean...

- ...on Law Tak Wing

- ...Law Tak Wing is clean?

Everything is in his notebook.

You can say that.

- There's no way they can't find anything.

- I must reiterate...

The CCB

will not tolerate any money

laundering activities.

Thank you, everyone.

It's the cop... he's dirty!

Dirty cops and scum like

Law Tak Wing won't get away with it.

"G.P.O. Box 1000"

Come here!

What's with you?

Play hard to get?

I lost a lot of money yesterday,

don't give me this bullshit!

You're a neat freak?

You're not cut out for this job.

Can I help you?

I want to report Superintendent Wong Man Bin

for taking bribes.

Sir!

Thanks!

Look.

3 days ago, he came home with this bag,

and put it in a secret compartment

in the closet.

He thought I was asleep

and went into the shower.

I got up to take a peek,

there was over $10M inside.

He makes less than $1m a year

as a superintendent.

He couldn't possibly have $10M.

It's dirty money.

Ms. Kong,

how are you related to Wong Man Bin?

I'm his wife.

How are things between you?

He became a different person

after he was promoted to superintendent.

Ask her to take off the sunglasses.

Luk Sir wants her sunglasses off.

Ms. Kong, please remove your sunglasses.

Wong Man Bin is a gambling and whoring a**hole.

I hired a private detective to follow him,

I have the proof.

He grabbed me by my hair and kept hitting me.

He's a real bastard... no, he's worse!

You're onto Wong Man Bin?

We have enough to open a file.

He's the rising star on the force.

You must also know things are

always tense between ICAC and the force.

You must be discreet.

I intend to bring him in today for questioning.

Do that after 15:00.

OK, I'll invite him for afternoon tea at 15:15

and then bring in him to ease the tension.

What is it?

Can we help you?

Superintendent Wong Man Bin?

Who are you?

William Luk, ICAC Principal Investigator.

We need your help in an investigation.

An investigation?

About what?

I'm not in a position to disclose any details.

Not in the position?

What right do you have

to make an arrest?

You came to the wrong place.

We're going by the book,

this is a warrant issued by the Court...

- Warrant my ass!

- Hands off!

- I want a closer look!

- What?

That's enough!

Is that a bluff? Let's go outside...

Calm down!

Wong Sir, is this necessary?

Listen, these men worked with me for years,

I may command them at work,

but I don't control

them outside of work.

Don't play games with us.

What do you want?

What's this?

Another clash between the Police and ICAC?

Sir!

Does ICAC really thrive on

nailing someone on the Police force?

I'm sorry, Tsang Sir.

The rule of law is Hong Kong's

most precious core value.

If anything goes wrong

with any law enforcement agency,

Hong Kong is finished.

ICAC is the gatekeeper.

I don't want corruption on the force either.

As soon as I got off the plane,

I got a call from Yu Sir.

Don't worry! We'll work with ICAC.

Thank you, Tsang Sir.

Escort Wong Sir out, mind your manners.

Yes, Sir!

This way, Wong Sir!

Get my jacket.

Ho, get back to work.

Yes, Sir!

Thank you!

Wong Sir,

we have a report about you having $10M cash

at home.

Based on this amount,

we can cite the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance

to charge you

for having pecuniary resources disproportionate

to your current salary.

Please explain where you got the money?

You call this evidence?

I can say this is a composite picture.

You're in luck.

If you work for me,

I guarantee you won't get promoted

in 10 years.

These were taken on the same night

as the picture taken by the informer.

This is from the CCTV of your parking lot.

What's the problem? I went to the gym.

What's in the bag? It looks heavy.

I'm a neat freak, every time I go to the gym,

I bring underwear, towel, shampoo,

conditioner and shower gel;

And bring them home after I shower.

We spoke to the staff at the gym.

They said you didn't work out that day.

You picked up the bag and left.

Have you been listening?

I went there to shower.

Siu Leung, order something to eat.

I want curry chicken with rice.

Get something for them too.

Joe has stomach flu,

don't let him eat curry.

Get him something else.

Yes, Sir!

I also want Longjing tea.

Yes, Sir!

Wong Sir, we have a witness

who saw you came home with $10M.

Can you explain that?

You trust your witness?

I don't. We're in the middle of a divorce.

On Sir, right? And you?

- Ma...

- Never mind.

I've been with the CCB

long enough to know all about the money trail.

Day 1, from Hong Kong to Dubai and Cyprus,

via Switzerland, London, New York,

then to New Zealand,

Japan and finally back to Hong Kong.

It takes me 30 seconds to tell you,

but it only takes 8 seconds

for the money to go around the world once.

You can't track these 8 seconds in 10 years.

This is the 21st century,

bribes don't come in cash anymore.

Use your brains!

Check the bank if you don't believe me.

You probably did and my account is clean.

Of course we have.

We also know you like to gamble

and often go to Macau.

I have approval from my boss every time.

Which I'm sure you know that too.

If you deal with cash,

you could have deposited the money

in your account at the casino.

You know your way around. You go there often?

We checked the casino you go to,

incidentally, you put $10M in your account.

How do you explain that?

Where's the proof?

A deposit slip?

All casinos must be registered

in Macau or overseas.

Let me refresh your memory.

According to the Personal Data Ordinance,

You have no right to make them

hand over the client list,

understand?

Your tea, Sir!

Wong Sir.

Please give us a minute.

Yes, Sir!

Have some tea.

I thought ICAC only serves coffee.

No, we have other drinks,

even ICAC can change.

Change?

We've been doing this long enough,

we know better.
