As offenses arise from the mind, repent from the mind.
When the mind is extinguished, offenses also die.
Go!
Action!
One hostage will die every five minutes.
State your terms.
One of your men for one hostage.
Just me for all of them.
Sure, Man Sir.
You can't go in.
All lives are equal.
A lifer's life is just as valuable.
Besides, Scholar's been waiting for this day for the better part of his life,
he all the more deserves this chance to get out.
They're lifers, you think it's worth it?
Yes !
Welcome...welcome.
Sai-heung, let them go.
What makes you think I'd keep my word?
Yip Sai-heung, if giving up my life will keep you in prison, I'm willing.
Because letting people like you free will cost more lives.
It's my life for a safer society.
We're cut off from the outside...
It's game over for Yip Sai-heung.
A Year Ago
Stop it!
It's noisy.
It's the alarm clock, silly.
Oh no...move over...
Attention, inmates.
It is now 6 am, get up and fold up your blanket and mattress.
Everything neat and tidy before you leave your cell.
Lo Wu Correctional Institution
What? Don't you pick this time to die on me.
No answer? So it's 6:15 am.
Do you have to be so punctual?
My car broke down.
Oh, Madam Yiu, morning jog so early?
Don't joke. My car broke down. Call the tow company for me.
Alright...
Morning, Sir.
Good Morning, Sir.

Just a new toothpaste.

Mommy 378342 in the hospital will hand out baby today.
239826 in Dormitory 4 cried last night. Keep an eye on her.
397426 in Dormitory 3 is on the medical observation list.
Yin, check on her every 15 minutes. Yes, Madam.
234009 is due to give birth. Pay attention.
345098 is out from Close Supervision Unit today.
Take her back to her workshop. Keep an eye on her.
Don't let her get into fights again.
That's it for today.
Parade Attention. To the right, fall out.
Move to the left in threes, left turn.
By the right, quick march.
Left right left right left right left...
By the right, eyes right.
Ka-ka, are you exhibiting your sports car by the entrance?
Don't make fun of me. It broke down.
Fun is for your wedding day.
Ka-ka, thank you for inviting us to your Paris wedding.
Thank you for taking a leave to attend.
But I've only been to Thailand. I can't thank you enough, Ka-ka.
Miss Yiu, will you quit after you get married?
No way. This is my family business.
Staff, attention. Muster count time.
No transferring of inmates.
Hand in your muster slip for 0700.
12 muster slips for Group B here. Waiting for Group A
Sir, Group A. OK.
Come in.
Man Sir, total 1,354. Muster right.
Control, declare muster right.
Staff, attention. Muster right.
Halt.
Morning Madam.
Ten in muster. All correct, Madam.
Good. Carry on. Yes, Madam.
Carry on.
Madam Yiu, morning.
Ch u, on your toilet beat? Yes.
Could you fill in for me when I go use the bathroom?
Be quick. Thanks.
Madam Yiu, I should thank you madams for picking me to be a cleaner.
I really enjoy this job.
I get to move around.
It beats working in the workshop.
It's because you're always well-behaved.
Madam Yiu, I've given myself a title, Princess of Toilet.
Really? Then go for it. Yes.
Madam Yiu, your breath stinks today.
You're on toilet beat as well?
Mind your own business.
Really that bad? I really stink?
Calling Control. Madam Yiu here.
An inmate's having an epileptic seizure on Bridge Y. Call hospital.
Chu...you alright...
Don't bite...don't bite...
How's Chu?
She was taken to in-center hospital. Take care of yourself first.
Really, you know that's not the way to handle an epileptic seizure.
It's my first time. So I panicked and lost my cool.
Miss, should I inform your family?
I have no family.
What about relatives or friends, or boyfriend?
He doesn't take calls while on duty.
HEY"
Miss...
Take it easy.
Where do you not feel well?
My eyes. I'm so sleepy.
Q, what is it? Crap happened again?
No...
Q, What is it?
Just because I stepped on bird crap yesterday doesn't mean it happened again.
So what is it this time? Indeed.
There's something inside, it cut me bad.
Granny was looking everywhere for her missing earring.
So it's stuck between my toes.
A toe ring, how cool.
Call it a freak accident.
I'm bleeding.
I wonder if I can put a plaster in between my toes.
HEY"
What are you doing?
Man Sir. Sorry, Sir.
Why you are barefoot while on duty?
Show your uniform some respect!
Show your profession some respect!
I meant to take it off in the men's room, not here.
But I was in so much pain from the earring stuck between my toes that I was in tears.
I couldn't make it to the men's room.
What nonsense!
How could an earring get there?
It's not that unthinkable.
My worn socks are usually left lying around on the floor.
One night, my granny took all her jewelry out to pick one to wear to a banquet.
Then she came into my room to chat.
She probably dropped it there and it rolled...
Shut up!
No unauthorized personal items may be brought in.
Do you need me to remind you of the rule?
Write up a statement on the incident for me.
Now put your shoe back on and get back to your post.
Yes, Sir.
Hey, Q, you've got mail.
Thank you.
Oh, it's a thank you card from Tsung.
I'm sure it was his wife's idea.
I thought only nurses got thank you cards.
Q's heart is equally big.
Q, come in.
Let me warn you, cease contact with that Tsung.
Though he's already been released, you still have to be mindful.
But I...
Even when it's after work.
By getting too close with him,
you could get implicated if things go wrong with him.
The best way is not to have any contact with him, understand?
Sir...
The sentence for the son who killed his father is out.
Morning, Sir.
Name?
Tang Chung-yan.
Age? 21.
Offence?
Murder.
Sentence?
Life.
Anyone to add to your visiting list?
Now for the search. Take off your clothes.
Open your mouth.
Come with me.
Feet on the footprints.
Hands on the rails.
Look straight ahead.
Proceed.
Tang Chung-yan, you have the right to an appeal within 28 days after the verdict.
Do you have any desire to do so?
Think about it and then tell me your decision.
Take him out.
Here are your mattress, blanket, pillow, sheet, towel, mug and toothbrush.
The name card you're holding is your ID here.
You need it to go work in the workshop, get things or borrow things.
You don't have to hold it, you can put it in your pocket.
Take it easy. Think of this as a new job.
It takes time to get used to it.
Don't worry, it's not the Midnight Express.
You'll be given an induction course on your welfare and the rules,
or how your family and friends can write you here.
It depends on how you see it. The fiberglass bed is good for your back.
You have your own toilet, so you don't have to fight for it.
Put your things down.
It's warm in winter and cool in summer here.
No air-con here, but the fans outside keep you cool.
You'll be taught how to fold your blanket with hospital corners.
You have to do it every day.
You made a mistake outside. Turn over a new leaf in here. Chin up.
Shing, what are we betting at today?
We have a newcomer today.
What about which foot forward? Good idea.
What if he's a cripple?
A cripple still has two feet.
Left for me.
Right for me
X go Mm Bu; Home: , hi.
Contrarian betting, right. Right...
I'm taking you to the shoe-making workshop. You'll stay here for the day.
We depend on you guys for our shoes.
Rascal, couldn't you have put your left foot forward first?
What's the ruckus?
You've had your break, get back to work.
Shek, Scholar, come over here. Yes.
Q Sir..,
He's our newcomer. Help him out.
I'll do my best.
Since Scholar's agreed, I'll follow suit.
Q Sir, I can give you my word.
I'll straighten him out, turn him into a good boy.
Good.
What should I call you? Puny.
Poor you, puny indeed. But take it easy.
Enjoy yourself and lead a healthy life here.
Just remember the six Sirs.
Listen up:
Morning Sir, afternoon Sir, thank you Sir, yes Sir, and goodbye Sir,
never say no Sir.
Forget it at your own risk.
Come on, repeat after me. What now?
You said the payout's two for one. You take me for a fool?
Beat him up...
Man Sir, a fight in shoe-making workshop.
Press the alarm. Yes, Sir.
Let's go over.
The alarm's on, the officers will soon be here.
Just stay put.
Beat him... Poor loser...
Anyone going to see Nang in hospital? Yes...
Hold on...SMS from Nang.
He said he had an X-ray, no fractures. He's fine.
We don't need to go see him.
I'm relieved.
We managed to land on our feet. Q, you sure were cool.
You tackled them all before help got there.
You deserve a like.
Of course, he's a member of Correctional Emergency Response Team(CERT).
The training finally paid off.
You seldom workout, keep it up.
Keep it up, cut down on chicken casseroles. Yes...
You think you did a good job?
If you had pressed the alarm early on, no one would have gotten injured.
Man Sir, it was chaotic.
I was caught in a fight, it was critical. I had to put my personal safety first.
I was surrounded, I couldn't make it to the alarm.
Anyone else would have done the same.
First of all, you're not authorized to speak for other people.
Secondly, if you couldn't make it to the alarm,
that means you're not fit enough to lecture others.
Be honest...
My fault...I'll work out more...
It doesn't concern you.
Hey, since we're at it, I want to get a policy for my wife.
Got any referrals?
I do. A friend of mine is in insurance. It's Amy, Tsung's fiancée.
Let me give you her number.
Amy? Is she really good?
Everyone in my family went to her. She's great.
Kiu Ching-kiu, I need to remind you again?
According to Cap 234A rule239 (1)(h)(I), an officer commits a disciplinary offence
if he without proper authority communicates with any ex-prisoner or his kin or friends.
Man Sir, I'm off duty now.
You mind if I speak my mind?
You have been picking on me since my first day here in Stanley.
That didn't happen when I was in other institutions.
I don't know about your behaviour in other institutions.
Let me tell you,
Stanley Prison is a maximum security facility that houses Category A prisoners,
some are dangerous and pose a huge risk.
It's my job to ensure everyones safety here, staff and inmates alike.
That's why I tolerate no mistakes, I demand zero mistakes.
What does correctional mean? It also means rehabilitation.
I don't see why off duty officers still have to stay away from ex-prisoners.
Maybe you should re-think what it means to be a correctional services officer.
You still have to maintain your professional image even after work.
You must behave yourself.
You must bear the image of the disciplinary force in mind.
Injured at work. Pick me up in Central
I have no more time for you.
How rude. What kind of image is that?
Hey, you want it or not?
But...
Take it first. Take it, you may need it.
And our present for your bachelorette party is...
Come on...
What now?
Take it easy. He's gay.
Come on, join us.
Leave my friend alone...
It's too much...take over... Great...
You looked so tired this morning. But now you're so energized.
Fun energizes me.
A cute guy is a great energizer.
I met him this morning in the ambulance. Introduce yourself.
I'm Brian. I'm Miki.
Hello...
Here comes the climax.
What? What climax?
Ka-ka bet that Maggie would show up. Look. What?
I can't come.
What's wrong with Maggie?
Someone lost her bet. What do you guys think?
The usual. Go down to the street,
and hug and kiss whoever comes down the steps first.
What about dinner on me?
Dinner?
Last time I ran around Lan Kwai Fong in a bikini.
That's because you have a great figure.
Come on...
Come on, honor your bet...
A man's here...
No...he scratched his behind...
That makes him manly... Yeah...
Kiss him when he comes down...
Here he comes...
Oh, another one.
What now?
It's a bet. Sorry.
What's wrong with you?
You said you were injured and it's serious.
You lie all the time.
What a way to play a prank! How outrageous!
Hey, beat it!
I know him...he's the one I tried to call this morning.
Your phone's off all the time.
She's your fiancée, she was injured this morning.
You don't seem to care one bit.
You lashed out at her right away.
He's not my fiancé. She's not my fiancée.
She's a family friend. He's an uncle.
What?
Please, Uncle Man, stop nagging me.
It's my last party before I get married. I had to pull out all the stops.
But you shouldn't go this far, kissing random people.
What if something went wrong?
Then you can kiss your wedding in France goodbye.
If something went wrong, I'd pay for your tuxedo.
Your uncle left you in my care. I can't afford any missteps.
If you fail to get married, how will I answer to him?
Answer to him?
I'm an adult, I only have to answer to myself, right?
OK...let me ask you, how did you get injured?
An inmate suddenly had an epileptic seizure.
It was critical so I shoved my hand down her throat.
Where's your common sense?
I know I did the wrong thing. But it was critical.
Did you hear me? It was critical.
It gives you a pass to ignore all rules?
Your friend said exactly the same thing today.
The inmates were fighting, it was critical. He didn't have the time to press the alarm.
Really? What a coincidence.
There's a reason Q and I get along.
Birds of a feather.
It baffles me how he graduated from the Staff Training Institute,
and got the top officer Principal's Shield.
You know why. Actually he...
Save it.
Why?
Can't you see it's raining hard?
I have to focus on driving. Rain makes the road slippery.
OK...
Look! Chain lightning! Isn't it awesome?
Let me drive in safety.
Pull over... What?
Pull over... What? What for?
Hey, where are you going?
You done?
It's awesome. What awesome?
It's cold and it's raining.
Don't catch a cold.
Did you see it? Look, how gorgeous...
I saw nothing.
I told you. Hesitate and you'll miss it.
To experience the sublime, no risk no gain.
This one's simply amazing.
Look that way.
Make sure you haven't caught a cold,
or you won't be able to go to work tomorrow.
That's it, I have a call with Yau-yau.
Brother, I'm punctual. Indeed, right on time.
I know you hate people who are regularly late.
Why are you all sweaty?
It's not that hot in Australia.
I rushed back.
I can never hide anything from you.
Since you made it back in time. I'll let you off this time.
How's your exchange program for maths whizzes going?
Great, I've made some new friends. They're all very smart.
That's good.
You can sit for the CPA exam when you're back
and become a certified accountant.
Yes, I know.
I bought you a heater and a lamp.
Where should I put the lamp?
Put it...
Let me decide for you.
And the heater? Where should I put it?
Let me decide for you as well. OK.
I'll book your return ticket tomorrow.
So soon? I won't be back for some time.
To ensure you get a seat.
Right, just to play safe.
What about your return date and flight?
Well...
Let me decide for you.
Alright.
As for Ka-ka's wedding. I told her you can't go to Paris for it.
First of all, it's too rushed for you to fit it into your schedule.
Secondly, they'll hold a wedding banquet here afterwards.
Alright, you decide.
Oh yes, you said you took the wrong route yesterday.
I told you to do research beforehand.
Everything fine today?
I got it right this time.
Let me give you a detailed report.
I got up at 0630, it took me half an hour to freshen up.
Then I had a big breakfast.
I left home at 0730...
My darling niece Ka-ka, come on over...
Ka-ka... Here she is...
Hello, Ka-ka...
Ka-ka, today is Uncle Man's birthday.
Let's sing him Happy Birthday...
Thank you, Sis.
Smart, so she's your sister as well.
Your sister is my sister.
Right, we're family.
Let's sing Happy Birthday...
Great...all together...
Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to Man,
happy birthday to you...
The candles... The candles...
Bravo...

Let's report it to the police.
No...he said if he's arrested, his buddies will kill us.
I can't let him molest you again and again.
I told him to come, he has some nerve!
Drop dead...
Brother...
Rascal...you're not human...
Get up...rascal...
She's your daughter...drop dead...
I just heard from headquarters,
Yip Sai-heung gets out of the hospital tomorrow.
Among all the felons I've handled,
Yip Sai-heung is the toughest one to crack.
He's spiteful and he gets into fights all the time.
If you hadn't tackled him in the workshop that day,
he would have taken one more life.
He's killed cops and innocent bystanders in his flight.
He took six lives in total.
He had no qualms about killing women and children.
He's not human.
Many in his drug cartel are still at large.
I don't rule out his men using this chance for a jailbreak.
That's what worries me.
That's why I asked you to come.
It's about tomorrows security arrangements.
Afternoon, Sir.
For disfiguring me.
