D'you wanna try that again!
Uncle Kwong, you tell me to get the guns, then you get the CID to tail me.
Chow, try and lose them. They are not my men.
- If I'm caught, it will be a felony. - Relax. I'll back you up.
How? You can only save me from jail.
If my identity is exposed, I'll be killed. What can you do?
The robbers are getting guns from other sources.
You have to give them the guns at 12 noon. Or else we'll lose them.
I just can't handle it.
I'll make the CID leave, OK? Go now.
- What shall I do now? - Get the guns from the Bowling Centre.
John, I want you to take your men off the job. Stop following Ko Chow.
Who do you think you are talking to?
The truth is Ko Chow is my undercover cop.
Is he now?
He's involved in illegal gambling and loansharking.
How can he be your undercover?
- I need your men to stop following him. - No.
I believe he's trafficking firearms.
He is also linked to the Wing Hang Jewellery robbery.
Even if he is one of yours, there's no way I can help.
Ko Chow is helping me on a big case.
All right. I know we've got some personal issues, but don't let it affect our work.
It's strictly business. I want the case solved.
I can't do you a favour even if you are my senior.
I will not be intimidated.
Grandpa Lau, experience doesn't come with age.
Son, I want your men to stop tailing him.
Old man, this is my office.
Only I can give the orders. You get out!
After him!
Chow, you lucky bastard! Sooner or later I'll get you!
You can run, but you can't hide.
Stop!
I told you to stop.
Are you all right?
Get him.
Stop!
Watch out!
Get in!
Over there.
You want to get caught?
Wait!
Stop!
How did you know I was at the Bowling Centre?
Where did you pick up the guns last time? I am very cautious.
I was followed by the cops.
Watch your back. You were lucky this time.
Are we going to the cemetery?
I'm taking you to another place.
I'm in a hurry. Shall we do the deal here?
Our chief wants to see you.
Three guns, 200 bullets altogether.
Hands off! That's nice!
Wait a minute. What do you want?
- Chief, I wanna sign my name on the gun. - You want to get caught?
Ten grand for one, 100 grand in total.
- Thank you. - Chow, join us.
I'm planning a big heist. I want you in.
I am flattered.
Fu speaks highly of you.
Thank you.
Big Song told me you want to make some money.
We think alike. Why not work together?
Yes. If we work together, we'll make even more money.
All right, let me introduce you.
This is Bill, Skinny, Joe. We're good brothers.
I treat my men like my family.
If we trust each other, nothing can go wrong.
- Nam, let me think about it. - Come on. It's a good opportunity.
Can you excuse me? I'm in a hurry.
Yes. Call Big Song when you've decided.
- I'll keep in touch with Big Song. - I'll show you out.
I've got to go now, everyone. Bye.
- Where are you going? - The airport.
- Where is she? - Over there.
Hung!
- Hung! - Stay where you are.
- You're suspected of arms possession. - If you go now, don't ever come back!
Stay where you are.
Hung!
Move it!
Get in there!
Get up.
John, we found this stuff in his pocket.
Is this money from selling guns? Who to?
I want to call my lawyer.
Chow!
You bastard!
- I'll kill you. - Inspector, stop it!
- Don't do it! - Get out of my way.
Old man, I'm not scared of you.
- Get out of my way. - Don't do it!
What are you two doing? Fighting?
Sir, he tried to shoot me.
Put your gun down.
We can't do this in a police station. Uncuff him.
- Hurry! - You two, come into my office.
Take care of him for me.
Close the door.
I asked you two to work together, not to fight.
What happened now?
Sir, I just caught a suspect, Ko Chow.
He may be linked to the Wing Hang case and also trafficking arms.
He was about to tell us, and Lau came in.
Lau, don't you want to solve the case?
- Ko Chow is our informer. - That doesn't mean he can sell firearms.
Nonsense. I arranged the whole thing.
- Are you crazy or what? - Watch your mouth.
Why did you do it? I want an explanation.
Sir, I want to know more about the gang, the organisation,
and then arrest all of them at the same time.
Guns are in their hands. We can catch them now.
Wait. We can only charge them with arms possession.
Intention is not a crime.
They have at least three or four men.
One of them could admit to possessing all the weapons and the others will go free.
Next time they'll be more cautious.
They've got guns so they must have some plan.
We should wait. Wait until they commit the crime and arrest them.
I disagree. If they have a shootout, it would be a public hazard.
Do you know many can be saved by catching one thief?
Watch your mouth.
Lau, don't let your emotions affect your work.
Sir, I suggest that Ko Chow takes part in the robbery.
We will crack it if we work together.
No, I promised Ko Chow he could resign after the deal.
If he disagrees, he'll get eight to ten years for arms possession.
Son, you can't charge him. Ko Chow is no ordinary informer.
Ko Chow is our undercover cop.
Sir, check your files if you don't believe it.
Then it's simple. If he's a cop, send him in undercover.
I disagree. This is too dangerous.
Sir, you asked me to set up a special team to break the case.
This is the only way.
Under the current legal system, we need to catch them red-handed.
Then we can bring them to justice. I also agree to wait for the big catch.
Lau, ask Ko Chow to take part in the robbery.
Chow, I will resign if you insist.
Don't you want to solve the case?
Remember Wah and the others who died because of this?
These four jewellery shops are the robbers' targets.
According to Ko Chow, they have one thing in common:
jewellery of great value.
Poor security, located in popular areas, making it easy to escape.
John, what do you think?
I think we should send guards to all four shops.
Chow, I think we should call the Special Duties Unit.
I don't think so. We can handle it ourselves.
They're no ordinary gang.
If there's a shootout and bystanders are injured, who will be responsible?
- All right. Call the SDU. - Yes, sir.
They look good.
You think it's funny?
Such a loser.
Chow, there's mail for you from the US.
Who cares?
Fu, say something. You mad at me?
What's wrong with you? Cheer up.
Don't be so boring.
All right!
I want to drink with you, too.
- This wine is expensive. - Don't be so stingy.
- Stop babbling. Drink up. - No, I can't!
- You're bullying us! - Keep out of it.
- Can you take a photo for us? - Yes.
Closer, closer.
Wait!
Smile.
- Fu. - Chow.
Close the door.
- Where's brother Nam? - In there.
Get up. You think this room is yours?
- Chief! - I called you here tonight
because I want to tell you we're going to act very soon.
We're going to be rich!
What is it? Cheer up!
Chief, are the guns good this time?
Take it easy. We'll make it this time.
Those cops are good-for-nothings.
Joe!
For the sake of secrecy, no one can leave this room from now on,
to prevent contact with outside.
If you have a problem, say so now.
Give all your pagers to me.
Hurry up.
In the meantime, I want you to study the routes.
- Which jewellery shop is our target? - I'll tell you when we set off.
Paul, ask everyone to get ready. The robbers could strike at any time.
Yes, sir.
Everybody get ready.
- Anything suspicious? - No.
Sir, Inspector Chan just arrived.
He ordered six groups to guard the shops in shifts. He fears we lack manpower.
Who is Chan? Six groups of 48 men, and we still lack manpower?
They are just robbers. Not troops! Call him here to see me.
FIND INSPECTOR KWONG, TSM SHA TSUl POLlCE DEPARTMENT
- What are you doing? - Nothing. Stomachache.
- Who's this? - My girlfriend. She's not bad, is she?
What do you plan to do with the money?
And you?
Spend freely, then do the next heist.
- Then you'll soon get caught. - Touch wood, I'll never get caught.
- You could start a small business. - What business? I can't even read.
I am destined to follow in my father's footsteps.
My father was a thief, same as my grandpa.
I hope my son will not be a thief.
- Your father is still in jail? - He died over ten years ago.
He was crazy. He tried to rob the police quarters, but got shot dead by a cop.
- So you hate the cops? - Not really. It's fate.
We earn our living with our lives.
They're making such a noise.
They're having a party.
Where's your son?
He became someone else's son.
It's all my fault.
- Where are your family? - They're all dead.
Not really. At least you have a beautiful girlfriend.
To be honest, if I were you, I would find a decent job.
Too bad I wasn't smart enough.
I'm being smarter than you - I'm making money.
That's why she left me for another guy.
What a coincidence! Let's drink to it.
To celebrate her leaving me?
To celebrate us being in the same business.
You know, my wife still sends me cards on special occasions.
How about yours?
Of course.
Stop it! You're just copying me.
USA. It's from the US.
You picked it up somewhere?
Quit stealing and learn how to read.
It was addressed to Mr Ko. Mr Ko is me.
Do you speak English?
First letter?
How did you know?
It hasn't even been opened yet. You're scared.
You have to read it anyway. The sooner the better.
If you've still got a chance with her, don't let her go. Go find her.
''Chow, I didn't go to Canada.''
''I changed planes in San Francisco and went to Hawaii.''
''I hope you can come and bring me back to Hong Kong.''
''The address is on the back. Miss you. Hung.''
Chow, I would never have thought you were the traitor.
I will never forgive you!
Are you scared?
Is this your first time?
You won't be afraid when you're doing it. Get some sleep.
Why did you send the SDU away?
Deploying lots of cops only to wait around is a waste of taxpayers' money.
- Call the Chief Inspector. - Yes, sir.
- Be quick. - He approved it himself.
Chief!
Come and look at these.
- 357. - And 45.
- Fu, try it. - Brothers, we will strike soon.
Let's check our guns.
It's my big day.
- Satisfied, Joe? - Never felt better.
When it's done, we'll take cover at the house.
We will leave Hong Kong by boat at first light tomorrow.
What is our target this time?
We're familiar with the routes now.
This time, we're going to rob the Tai Kwong jewellery shop.
Good.
- Damn! We've still got nothing. - How long do we have to wait?
I'll pick you up in Mody Road if anything goes wrong.
- Don't move. Robbery! - Don't move.
Don't move! Fill the bag.
Put everything in the bag. Quick.
Be quick or I'll kill you.
Commander calling group two.
What's up with the taxi outside the shop?
Do you copy, group two?
Can you hear me?
Maybe waiting for a customer.
- Who pressed the alarm? - You bitch!
Get down, everyone.
Robbery at Tai Kwong's. All units, go!
Miss!
Fu, go!
Take it easy. Someone's got a gun.
Get in the car.
Joe, get the things. Come on!
Leave it. Chow, go!
Come on, Skinny!
Bill?
Are you all right, Bill?
Joe, stop the car.
Shut up.
Police.
- Get out, quick. - Joe, come on.
Bill!
Go, Fu, go!
Big Song, get the car!
- Fu, we should surrender. - I'm not a quitter.
- Joe! - Joe!
Bastard.
- Come out. - Joe!
Get me the gun.
Fu!
Chow!
Get the car here now.
- Are you all right? - I'm all right.
- I have to kill them. - Don't go, Fu. It's over.
Take it easy. I'm here.
I'm depending on you. I have to go find my wife in Hawaii.
I'll definitely come with you.
Come out!
- Big Song, ready? - Yes, sit tight.
Fu! Get in the car!
Move it!
- Where are the robbers? - Gone.
How could you let them escape?
Kwong is dead.
Any leads?
Inspector Lau seems to have found something.
Yung.
- Any information? - Three dead, five injured. Happy now?
If we don't work together, there's no way we can get them.
I found Ko Chow's wallet in the getaway car.
Get out.
Where are Bill and Joe?
Dead.
Skinny, hide the car.
No one else could've known about the raid, yet we were ambushed by the cops.
There must be a traitor here.
It's you.
Me?
If it were me, you would have already been caught.
I didn't have to risk my life.
- Nam, you misunderstood him. - Shut up!
He's new. Who else can it be?
I don't think he would do that.
- Yes, he's loyal to us. - Go to hell.
I have experience. I can't be wrong.
If I'm wrong, then you're unlucky.
Let's settle the money.
Fu, you're crazy. Don't point the gun at the chief. Put it down.
Don't pull any tricks or you're dead meat.
Leave it, Fu. If I die, then you can have a bigger cut.
No, you've saved my life. I owe you one.
- If anyone touches you, I'll kill them. - Nam, should I kill him?
- Don't move! - What do you want?
Nam, there are lots of police cars outside.
We'll settle later. Big Song, pack up and go.
Chow, go.
So many cops.
Get down.
Chow, are you all right? Hang on.
Listen. You're surrounded.
Drop your weapons. Come out and surrender.
Surrender? Never!
Hold fire.
Listen up. If you don't surrender, we'll come in.
Ko Chow is inside. We have to take them alive.
Do you know the robbers are armed?
They can't escape. They'll surrender.
I'm in charge here. On what authority are you speaking?
If something happens to Ko Chow, I won't ever forgive you.
- Let's find the Chief Inspector. - Yes, sir.
Big Song...
I'll take them on.
- Big Song! - Big Song!
Don't shoot. I surrender.
Don't shoot. Let me go...
Nam, don't make me. I don't want to die.
- Put your gun down. - Relax!
Do you hear me? Put your gun down.
You bastard.
Skinny!
You killed Skinny.
You're all the same. None of you respect me.
After all we've done for you! We risked our lives for you! Our chief!
You never treated me like a chief!
Chow. Chow.
Chow, let's go.
Hang on.
I can't. Just leave me here.
I can't leave you here. The cops will get you.
I'm a cop too.
What did you say?
I'm a cop...
Say that again.
You can kill me if you like, but do it quickly,
or you won't have time to escape.
Tell me you're not a cop.
I betrayed you.
Cops have to catch robbers.
I owe you.
Kill me.
On the floor.
We still have to go to Hawaii together.
Get up! Go!
Move it!
Take him in.
Don't move. Sit down.
Chief Inspector, I didn't disappoint you.
Our team was only set up two months ago and we've already cracked a big case.
- I'll write a report for you soon. - John!
You've cracked the case, now wait for your comeuppance.
John, are you OK?
