Z Storm Page #4

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

Sorry to bother you at this hour, Mr. Law.

My client wants to speak to you.

Don't worry, we have an anti-bugging device

in here,

the red light would go on

if someone is listening in.

Unlike last time, you didn't know

they wired your phone.

Right?

Have a seat.

Stay here, I'll take a look.

On Sir!

Luk Sir, On Sir went inside.

Hello, Mr. Law.

You moved all your assets to the U.S.

and chartered an air ambulance

to move your wife.

Why are you leaving?

Why am I leaving?

We know damn well

what Z Hedge Fund is about.

Sh*t! Stay here!

Luk Sir!

There are other members on my team.

From Italy, Russia, South America...

If anything goes wrong, what shall I tell them?

Right now, the key is to ensure

Z Hedge Fund gets listed

without a hitch, right?

I see.

I like doing business with people

with experience.

They know what's at stake right away.

Goodbye!

Mr. Wu, someone broke in.

What is it?

We caught 2 thieves.

We're not thieves, we're ICAC investigators.

Thank you, Control.

Control confirmed

they are with ICAC.

So? ICAC investigators

can be thieves.

On trespassing alone,

I have enough information to press charges.

Get on with it, write down their staff number.

If they won't do it, I'll sue them.

Yes, Mr. Wu.

Write it down in the notebook.

Sir!

Wong Sir!

How nice of you to drop by, Luk Sir!

Did you get their statements? Get on with it!

Wong Sir...

Shut up!

Protecting core values!

Ask the security guards to see

if anything is missing.

I don't care if it's a branch or a brick.

See if they resisted arrest

or attacked a Police officer.

Don't forget loitering.

Yes, Sir!

Wong Sir, is this necessary?

You know we're on a case.

I know.

What's the most important thing about ICAC?

Integrity.

You can kiss your job goodbye

if anything goes wrong.

This is the day I've been waiting

for since my transfer.

Get their statements.

Wait!

Wong Sir, we're...

Hey!

Who the hell are you?

Tell him!

Wong Sir,

the road leading up to Malcolm Wu's house

is a public road.

The gate he put up on the road is unauthorized.

Luk Sir and On Sir

were doing surveillance work on a public road,

it was perfectly legal.

This is the floor plan

from the Lands Department.

Move them to the holding cell.

They didn't break the law,

you have no right to hold them in custody.

Listen up, I don't know

if this floor plan is a fake.

I need to confirm with the Lands Department.

You can rest assured,

it won't take longer

than 48 hours, OK?

What are you doing?

Yes?

Yu Sir from ICAC just called me.

The map is genuine.

The Director of Lands Department

went to college with him, let them go.

Not until I checked out the map.

Do I have to come in to root for you?

It's after 10, I was already in bed.

Yes, Sir!

Let them go!

Thank you!

- Let's go get something to eat.

- Of course!

How did you know the gate was unauthorized?

All luxury buildings have some sort

of unauthorized work.

Thank you, Yu Sir.

The Commissioner is very concerned

about Z Storm.

I just had a meeting with her.

I know.

That's why she put the L Group on my tail?

No, I did.

You don't trust me?

On the contrary, I trust you,

that's why I called Stephen.

This is a sensitive case,

I don't want dirt on you thrown in my face

halfway through

the investigation

and put a stop to it.

I'm doing this for the case.

We are a law enforcement agency with power.

Power itself is corruptive.

That's why we need the L Group to monitor us,

to ensure there will be no abuse.

In other words, put power in a cage.

Yu Sir,

I'm clean, I don't need the pressure

of being investigated.

I only want you

to let me focus on the case,

I'm running out of time.

Relax! Cornering yourself won't get

you anywhere fast.

Have a drink, try to relax.

Maybe you'll think of other leads, OK?

"Siu Leung"

Hello?

Luk Sir, Mrs. Law just passed away.

Hello?

Mr. Law, this is William Luk.

I'm sorry, I'm in no mood to talk.

Mr. Law,

I'm sorry about your wife.

Thank you.

I know how you feel.

You do?

How could you?

My wife passed away as well.

"7 critically injured in

lift drop accident in North Point"

Luk Sir, experts say one

should not talk shop over dinner.

Talking to the wife is the best way

to keep a marriage going.

Very well.

There's really

something fishy with this company.

They do the maintenance of our office building.

The elevator always has creaking sound,

you should check it out.

That's not ICAC jurisdiction,

call the Electrical and

Mechanical Services Department (EMSD).

Mrs. Luk, experts say one

should not talk shop over dinner.

Talking to the wife is the best way

to keep a marriage going.

Just one kiss won't do,

you need a few more.

Alright... hurry up and eat your food.

Hello! ICAC!

I'm here to see the manager, Mr. Yeung

and check the

maintenance record of your elevators.

You're downstairs?

Even you think there's something wrong

with our elevators?

You know I can't tell you.

I'll be right down.

What the hell...

We found out later on

someone at the EMSD took a bribe

that led to the accident

that killed my wife.

I realized later on,

my wife's biggest wish

was to see me go on with my life.

I believe your wife

would have wanted the same for you.

Mr. Law,

I don't want you to spend your remaining years

in jail.

Give yourself a chance.

Can you guarantee my safety?

Yes, definitely.

Come get me now. You're the only one I trust.

I'll be right there.

I'll Wait.

Great!

Siu Leung, keep an eye on Mr. Law.

Are you still at the hospital?

I'm coming over right now.

Where's Mr. Law?

He's gone? He said he

wanted to spend time with his wife.

So we left and didn't bother him.

What is it?

Law Tak Wing is gone.

Be right there.

"Nothing to live for"

Yes, I understand.

Sorry, Sir!

I didn't watch him properly.

Can't expect a case to go without a hitch!

We haven't lost, not until the case is closed.

Cheers!

After the drink, go home,

take a shower and go to bed.

See you tomorrow at HQ at 0800.

Yes, Sir!

Nice shot!

Impressive!

Cheers!

I invited you here

to discuss something.

The media is very concerned about

the risk assessment of Z Hedge Fund.

The opposition won't pipe down,

and more importantly, ICAC has opened a file.

We're a bit worried,

about the CCF investment,

is it possible to postpone?

What do you think, Tsui Sir?

Well...

We have received applications of the IPO,

if the Government pulls out now,

we'd be in a mess.

Edmond,

we have overwhelming subscription

worth several hundred billions.

We're not pulling out,

I just want another risk assessment.

With this new report,

the media and the opposition

will shut up for good.

Isn't it better for us

to make the investment then?

Malcolm, I need your help

and understanding on this.

I'd love to, we're friends, right?

But what can I tell the shareholders?

We signed the agreement,

if you back out now,

I'm afraid we'll have to see you in court.

That's why I'm not meeting you
