This is my first mission
I want to shoot the whole process
Human memories are too complicated
As time passes, you may deceive yourself
What is recorded is reality
Last month a shootout between police and criminals
left 5 police officers dead
7 police officers are still in critical condition
In this mission code named Panther Killer
Panther Duen, the younger of 2 brothers
responsible for many armed robberies
and operating a drug trafficking syndicate
will go to court
to attend a hearing held 2 hours later
Apart from the HK Police Interpol agents
sent from HK, China, America and England
who will help to prosecute Panther Duen
have come to give evidence that provides
the key to destroy Duen's illegal businesses
Police, freeze!
Police!
I'm Pak Yut Suet I'm Wang Sun Ho
Hi, my name is Luo Zai Jun Hi, I'm James Lam
I'm Pak Yut Suet I'm Hung Kei Lok
Hello Nice to meet you
I'm Luo Zai Jun Hello
Hello Hello
Lady, Gentlemen
Let me introduce to you the officer in charge of this case
commander Hong Sun
On behalf of the Hong Kong Police thank you
for bringing this evidence
I assure that both you and the evidence
will be taken to the court under our
strictest protection
Protect us?
I'm in charge of this case
I won't let anything untoward happen
This is your final order
Yes sir!
Let's go
What're you doing?
It's my first mission
I wanna shoot the whole process
Human memories are too complicated
As time passes, you may deceive yourself
What is recorded is reality
Sometimes it's not bad to cheat yourself
At least you can forget the sad stuff
Don't make things so complicated
I've forgotten many things
even my mom's birthday
It's my job to cheat myself
Otherwise how can I cheat other people?
Did you ever regret being an undercover cop?
2 words: Only once
We snipers hope only a single shot will do
Miss, what's the matter?
Are you OK?
What?
Sit down
Don't worry
It'll all be over soon
Everybody watch out
Beware of Panther
Ready
What the hell?
Watch Out!
Move!
Freeze! Hands up!
Freeze! Freeze!
Who's the asshole there?
Madam What?
We've fallen into Han's trap, run
Roger
Nobody's here?
Definitely not
The real prison van's near the court by now
Why didn't you tell us?
We're not playing games here!
Calm down...
Attention
Patrol car's out of touch in Central for 15 minutes
All the police officers and firearms are missing
Roger out
Alpha Team
Move Move out, A Team. Get on the car
Where're they going?
You punks!
What the hell
Calling all cars
The missing patrol car and those firearms are still missing
B team watch out, ready for action
What's happening out there?
Sir, the police control car
and many dead officers are there
Go and see what's happening
Don't be scared, don't move
Calm down... Don't hurry
Don't hurry!
I've been looking for you
Cover me
You cover me!
Cover me!
Stay calm!
Please don't
No, please don't
Goddamn mother fucker!
Sir, please comment...
Sir, what's police next strategy?
Is there any new move?
Sir, will this case pass to Interpol agents?
The Panther case is not over yet
I've no right to send you away
But if you do anything wrong
I do have the right to arrest you
Are you OK, Boss?
Isn't that the car provided for our guests? It's a mess!
Those sons of bitches!
Long Yes
You take care of those goddamn punks
And never, ever let them drive!
Understand? Sure
He's a good dog
He's Friday, retired due to injury still on salary
I'm gonna join him in retirement
In 5 days time
The head of an international triad group Panther Duen
was abducted en route to his court appearance
Listen to the news!
A cop should be more polite
You should at least call me 'uncle'
My name's Kong Long, I'm your senior
but you can just call me 'Long'
Please turn on the radio, Long
The news is over
The HK Police had so many casualties
And you don't care about it?
Colleagues died
others will take their place
Who'd go on patrol if everyone went for revenge?
Who'd arrange your food if I went off like that?
Do your part or the world will be a mess
I agree
There's a pub near your place open 24 hours
Call me, anytime, no problem
Sister Morning
Brother
What are you doing here?
That's a big case, gotta go back
I've brought you something
Have you checked who they are?
I've told you many times
Do your best
Come and eat
Don't worry about me
I'm used to being here all these years
You still have a chance
You gotta do your best
Uphold the family name
Understand, Lok?
Sure. Now eat something
Be accurate...
Hey, what're you up to?
Give me 1 minute and I'll show you
Be accurate...
No money, no play
You're a sharpshooter
Somebody's waiting for you
Let me cover you
Can I try it?
A lefty sharpshooter indeed
I admire you
You're great! Ok
This is marksmanship
I only learned to shoot on the move
I'm not used to standing still
Please give me the chance
Let me borrow the gun
Let me shoot the rest
Thanks
This is what a sniper does
I feel
We make a good team
Team?
Why not?
They're well organized
obviously not just a local triad group
They use military tactics
I'm sure the sniper is a female
I hacked into the HK Police records
Apart from the sniper's weapon
their guns are those used by the local police
One officer was stabbed to death with a knife
One slash, straightforward
How would Tiger get such a powerful group?
Guys, I think
target won't come out unless we take action
I know what you're thinking
Let's go to Tiger's place to take a look
This is it
Do you know how much they earn from this street?
Drugs, gambling, prostitution visible and invisible
on the street and underground
$10 million a day
They've changed the working hours
Packing up so early? Then I ask you
Wouldn't they still want to make money?
Unless their boss was in trouble
Which means Panther wasn't rescued
but captured
Long
Who do you think did it?
This is a great location
Somebody wanted to rent it
We'll close the deal in 2 days time
Make your decision
Or I can't help you any more
Yuet, Sarge
Open his eyes
Ko?
My brother will give your money back!
Let me go...
I never owed anyone
And I don't like...
to be owed
I'll give you everything back
Please let me go...
Let me introduce my new friend
This is Petros
Dominic's older bother
No, it was an accident
I don't mean to, no, I didn't kill him
It's okay
Dominic was a wild one
He spent his whole life trying to get himself killed
Yeah
All things are negotiable
except the truth
And every lie has a price
Do it
I want to see Tiger Duen
What do you want with the boss?
It's Panther's ear!
Nobody move!
Tell Tiger that his old buddy came by
He knows what I want
Ching Tiger?
Send me some SMS, I gotta work
Got it
How're you doing?
I'm fine, don't worry
I've been busy lately
I'll come to see you soon
OK
Be careful
Some colleagues say Long walks his dog here every day
That Long has such an odd character
I'm afraid he won't help us
Don't worry
Asking for help is easier for women
I'll handle it
I want to know something about you HK cops
About what?
For example
Do you need permission
before you date a colleague?
And, have you ever fallen in love
with your partner during a case?
I did worse than that
I fell in love with my target when I was undercover
Believe it or not?
Thank you, come again
Pretty girl?
He's still young at heart
What's the matter, sir?
Where's your boss?
Hasn't come? Don't you know me?
Kong Sir
Need some help?
It's fine, everyone has hard times
I'll help you now, then you help me
What're you doing here?
Village boy!
I'm afraid I can't speak well
You talk with them
Come on
Suet
You wanna kill someone?
Watch out!
Wait
Please
Thank you Thank you...
You're welcome
Honestly, you should thank him
I don't need your help
I don't need your help!
I still care
Care?
Why didn't you care about mom and me before?
I had so much work to do, I...
You always have so many excuses
Your work's important, isn't it?
You didn't even see mom before she died!
So many lives depended on me
I was the commander
I had to be responsible!
Got it you only care for your colleagues!
Go to them now
Why come to me?
I know I was wrong
Can't you give me one more chance?
I didn't need your help before
Not now
or in the future!
I don't want a father like you!
I'll do what I promised
Based on the way they acted
I'm sure they're special agents
They break every rule and it's hard to deal with them
You won't find them using normal methods
They're probably hiding in the city
as normal citizens and
planning their next move
Panther is the deputy, has no real power
I don't think he's their target
It's his brother, Tiger Duen
which means if we get to Tiger Duen
we'll find the agents as well
He has 4 special bodyguards with him
They're known as the Power 4
You gotta put them under surveillance
Look
Kong Long
Ko
You're still fast
Faster every day
I know you'd come to find me
Do you know why?
My face's still burns
So, how is your old friend?
Sharp as ever
He's not alone this time
Anything to drink?
No
Sorry
You've never known famine
I've seen men kill for less than this
They're just kids
Target practice for your team
But Tiger has been playing this game for a long time
He won't fold his hand unless we force him to
What's our strategy, Colonel?
There's an old Chinese saying:
You won't cry
until you see the coffin
My team will handle Tiger
And I'll find the girl
Excuse me
Do you speak English? Yes
Good, can you tell me the easiest way to get to Hollywood road?
No, I'd love to help you but I'm a tourist here myself
That's why you're taking so many pictures
That's right Right
Ok, alright, well, thanks anyway
Oh, it's you again
Hello
This I know you can help me with
Would you read my fortune for me?
What do you want to know?
I'm looking for a young woman
Do you think I'll find her?
Doesn't look so good. See right here
It says you'll be facing many obstacles
Well, eliminating obstacles is my specialty
Maybe I can help you
Why don't you give me your number?
No, I think it's better that we remain strangers
At least give me your name
You already know it!
Shit!
Bye-bye...
Ching
Wah
Going home? Come with me
Yeah, come with Wah I have to go
You bitch, don't get stuck up, get in
You think you're so goddamn special? No, Wah
Are you OK?
OK
Thank you
Busy body? No, Wah!
Fight back?
No, Wah!
Ching, stay away
It's my fault Stand still
No, Wah!
Don't move!
Cops! Run, Wah No, Wah!
Are you OK? Yeah, I'm fine
I'm so sorry
It's alright
Thank you
Are you sure you're OK?
Yeah, I'm alright
Besides, it looks like your shoes get the worst of it
Thanks again
Good night
Why come to see me so late?
Tiger Duen
We businessmen should pay back what we owe
This is for your dead comrades
And this is for you
You owe a lot more than this
Bat
Businessmen should have credit
This is for my brother's ear
Do you think you can get all the money
while you still have my brother?
Ko, either take it and let my brother go
or I'll kill you
Perhaps you'll decide to pay it
if we make you cry
in despair!
For you
Grenade! Run!
Soy sauce?
Freeze! Freeze!
Don't go!
Get after him!
Take the gun!
Shoot!
Shoot him!
I've no time to play with you
No, Tiger!
Let's move out
It's time for the next show to start
Yes, Colonel
Drop the gun!
Freeze! Shoot me!
Drop your guns! Shoot me!
Police! Freeze!
And two of you
Drop the gun!
Drop your guns!
Raise your hands!
Can't you give them one more chance?
Remember how your colleagues died?
It's because you didn't follow the orders
and wait for backup That was my fault
These other guys
I'm sure they're Ko's agents
I know
I know how to deal with him
Hong, don't fool yourself again
Don't sacrifice your men for the sake of fame
Work with the other departments
Listen to me
Give yourself a chance, and those kids
Honestly, it's Kong Long who saved you
You must thank him
Let's get some exercise
I'm with you
I've jogged on this road over 10 years
But I'll still get lost if I'm careless
It's not easy to follow the right track
You'll find your legs getting heavier
Until one day, you ask yourself
why you go on
In just a few days, I'll be off for good
What happened 3 years ago wasn't your fault
No-one should blame you for the deaths of your colleagues
You shouldn't hide away
You shouldn't feel regret
Let me tell you a story
I was only 10 in 1992
My dad was a cop
He and his 8 colleagues had a gun battle with a gang
They took 47 shots in total
What happened?
4 cops died
My dad was one of them
13 years later
Their sons and daughters became friends
3 of them became cops
And I'm one of them
Do you know how we feel
when people talk about our fathers?
We feel so proud
We're proud of them
Kong Sir
We need you to take on the agents
Let me give you some advice
You can't beat them
That's why we need a leader like you
I once was lost
and it was so hard to find myself
I don't want to take the wrong road again
If you insist
do it yourselves
I hope you all make it back safely
Kong Long
We can do it without you!
Please
Make yourself at home
Would you like a drink?
Yes, thank you
Tell me, where are you from?
I was born in the States
but I left home when I was 15
Spent some time in Central America Colombia mostly
then Eastern Europe
now I live in Thailand
Are you here on vacation?
Yeah, I guess you could call it that
I love to watch them fly
they are so free up there
Look, this is my younger sister
She's cute
This doll was a present from my boyfriend
when he still loved me
He made me promise to keep it
I kept my promise
but he did not
Here For me?
Yes, I wanted to give you something because
you were so nice to me the other night
Do you like them?
They're beautiful
Allow me
Now, you can go to the ball
What?
Like Cinderella
Are you alright?
Whenever I am happy, I get scared
I know I'll be sad again soon
Do you know why the little angel doesn't have a mouth?
Cos she likes to keep secrets?
You will find a smile on her face when you are happy
and a sad face when you're upset
She can share all your feelings
There's a little business I need to take care of
Would you like to come with me?
Sure
OK. A little female charm is good for business
Sir...
There're a total of 4 OPs on the balcony
2 teams of snipers standing by
to guard all the exits of this building
We've our men on both the 6th and 7th floors
Divided into 4 units to guard the 2 main routes
Especially the 9th floor
We have 8
top sharpshooters
Well done
Once they come to get Tiger
there's no way out
The HK Police must keep you safe!
You and the agents will learn to respect justice
Aren't you going to tell me what's in the box?
That was my partner
He said if I don't deliver this now
I might not be able to
I'll wait for you
It may take a while
There're cops on floors 6 and 7 and on the roof
The special unit have Tiger on the 8th floor
I can take care of the cops
You can send the present to Tiger
Which team do you belong to, sir?
I asked you which team you're in!
It's him. Tell all units to get ready
Yes, sir!
The target's approaching the HQ Everybody ready
The snipers on the balconies will provide cover
Sir, leave!
Now you know how it feels to lose a brother
But don't worry you will be with him soon
in hell!
I showed him the coffin, Colonel I'm coming out
Ching
Petros
What are you doing here?
I said I'd wait
I was worried about you
Come on
Target found
It's the man I met in the temple
He's with Tiger's girlfriend
Don't let them go!
So many people died
Take action right now!
You have to leave, now
I knew this would happen
No, that's not what I meant
It's OK. We don't owe each other anything
It's only temporary. Trust me
Lies always sound better than the truth
I'm not lying to you
I wouldn't do that
Promise, bring it back to me
They're trying to trap you, Lieutenant
Your escape route's blocked
You take care of the 2 in front
I'll handle the 2 behind
Sniper, ready!
Jie, ready
Suet, ready
We're listening to you, Ho
Ho, ready
Here!
Reload!
They've stopped moving
Jie, Suet
They're going to combine fire to escape
Move in when they reload!
Go!
Petros!
Go! Go!
They changed tactics
Go back and block them!
You go ahead, I'll cover you
No, I won't let you die like your brother
I'll cover you. Go!
Petros!
Yuet, we need covering fire
Bat, Yuet, move out!
Suet, watch out!
Suet!
Hello, mom, how are you?
Lam's residence please leave your message after the tone
Thank you
Mom, I think I gotta stay for a few more days
Hong Kong's cops piss me off, you know
They said they really need me
I will come back
I will
Bye
You've been saying you'd quit smoking
But you're still doing it
You can cheat yourself for years
until the day you die
I should have listened to you
I'm not able to bear all the responsibility
You too are cheating yourself
You can never forget the battle 3 years ago
If I had just one more day
I'd give myself another chance
Boss
I'm out of time
Tomorrow is your last day as a cop
Give yourself a chance
and those kids as well
We go first, see you
I can handle. Have fun
Let me open it
I'll do it myself
I've applied so many times
for her to come and see me
But she never did
I didn't want to blame her, but
I just wanted to ask if
if... if she really loves me
My brother always wanted to be a good cop
but he was paralyzed in a car crash after 2 years on the force
I became a cop because of him
Hoped to share my experiences with him
But sometimes I think
I'm his only family member
What if something happened to me?
Who'd look after him?
Brother
I don't know when I'll see you after tomorrow
I know you had high expectations
But I hope you know that
whether or not I can catch this gang
I've tried my best
I think
We're very much like a team
Stop!
You're sentenced to be deported!
Don't get wild... Stop it
Don't move... What the hell
Don't move
Freeze Bring them back!
Get in the car!
What're you looking at?
One of you died
So did my old friend
Read them all within 10 minutes
The Duen brothers have run guns and drugs for years
All firearms and drug dealers
have a bank account number and a password
stored somewhere
No mark, no trace
Their underground capital exceeds $2 billion
The numbers are all on a film roll
which is their most precious asset
And so it's the agents' prime target
Nobody ever knew where Tiger hid it
They let Tiger go to force his hand
If Tiger runs he must bring the film with him
As he daren't appear in public now
he must have someone to take it for him
I know who she is
If you don't act today you'll never get another chance
Will you come with me to catch them?
Come, or stay!
Come
We must go together
and come back together!
Yes, sir!
Hello
Tiger
Take the stuff from the safe box for me
I'll call you then
Make sure no-one follows you
Ching, you're my only hope
I got it
Petros, sorry, he just phoned me
I've to help him one last time
I owe him
Alright, well you go ahead I'll wait for you
And we'll leave together. Don't worry
Here they are!
If she takes it out and the gang gets close to her
It's game over
Jun
Sniper in position
The girl's out. Shoot the tires of her car
Yes, sir
Petros, I don't believe it
I've got a flat
Don't worry, I'll come pick you up
Ching, Petros told me to get you
You are...
I'm his friend
It must be Kong Long
Have you got onto the highway?
Yes, sir
Leave the highway at the 2nd intersection and turn right
There's an abandoned power plant 3 km away
You bring the girl and I'll trap those bastards there
Alright, sir
My boss
Hello
Ching, put my friend on the phone will you?
Petros
Yes
Now I can add chauffeur to your list of talents
Thank you very much
Well, you're very welcome
Like I said you'd be facing many obstacles
How come there's a car following us?
Is someone causing you trouble?
I'll deal with it
Let's go from this side
You're not getting away!
Sir, their snipers' following us
Great! Lead them as far as possible
Yes, sir!
Ho, Ko and Petros are here
Lure them to the 2nd floor
No problem, boss
Someone's playing games
Let's go teach them the rules
He's here Let's finish it
No! It doesn't seem right
I must face him alone
You take your revenge
No one will ever replace my brother
but you come pretty close
It's an honor, Colonel
See you after the mission
How can we get out of here?
We can take a taxi
We won't find a taxi here
Sir, we're in a hurry Please drive faster
Sure
Long, I've finished off the big dude!
Jie, don't underestimate him!
The case has been open for 3 years
I must close it now
Let's finish as we began
Give yourself a way out
A defeated soldier
has only one way out!
Lok, Petros may suddenly appear Watch out
Don't worry. Let me cover you
I won't let Petros get close to you
Ching
OK, I'm coming soon
Petros is right behind you
Don't move. It's my turn
Don't go there alone
Find Tiger, I'm staying here
Hey Lok!
Hello, fortune teller
Where is Lok?
Hello, Ching Petros!
Where is your friend?
I'm afraid he had to leave us
Where did your boy friend ask you to meet him?
In the cinema
Stay here
Ching
Let me deliver it
Why?
Because I don't want you to see him again
He's in House 2, row 10
You think you're so smart stealing my girl?
Go ahead, open the box
That's what I like about Ching
Whatever lie you tell her, she'll believe
She's worth more than you know
That's the difference between you and me
I never lie to her
Lok!
Get him, go!
Move! Get out of the way! Police!
This was my first mission
I've already shot the whole process
Human memories are too complicated
As time passes, somehow
you may deceive yourself
I used to believe that what I recorded was reality
until that night when I returned to that pub
and sat where Petros had sat
I saw her again
She looked so different today
I suddenly realized
what I recorded was not so real
Only when there is faith
Does it finally become the truth
