Full Alert (1997) - full transcript

Let us through

Everyone in the building got sick
after drinking the water, Sir

Has the tap water been checked?

I don't know

Where's the bathroom?

Right inside

Who called in the report?

A guy named Ting, second floor

Find out how to reach him

Get his work number

his pager, anything



Tell him to come home immediately

Something's happened

Brother Kwan

Will you come out and have a drink with me?

No thanks. You'd better go home and go to bed

How can I fall asleep?

Is the architect dead?

Knock it off

I can't get him out of my mind

Did he die when we stabbed him or

did we drown him?

Wah, shut up!

He deserved it. He forced us to do it

We're going be rich soon!



Then, we'll leave the country

After awhile no one will remember anymore

It's late

Go home and go to bed

Who are you?

Don't resist!

We're with the Special Crime Bureau

We're taking you down to headquarters

Stop resisting!

What? What's going on?

A murderer can never escape the law

Take your time. Look carefully

He asked me to collect the debt
that the man lost at the track

But when I got there, he didn't have it

He asked me not to force him

Then he ran to the roof
and threatened to kill himself

I tried to pull him down

How did I know, he'd pull a knife and stab me?

I just wanted to take his knife away

But in the confusion

I didn't mean to kill him

Why did you throw his body in the tank?

I didn't know what to do

I was so scared at that moment

You were scared?

What happened then?

Then, I just left

Sir, may I have a cup of coffee?

Please

And a piece of toast, too

Please, sir

- Don't annoy me
- Give it to him

You were at the victim's home many times

You must have known the watchman
would recognize you

You should have turned yourself in

What did you take from the victim's home?

You stayed there after you killed him

We found your fingerprints in his study room

What were you looking for?

Money

He owed me money. I wanted it back

I just wanted money

This blueprint. Where did you get it?

Was it taken from the victim's home?

It's mine

This is a blueprint of a vault

The entrance and exit are detailed in it

Where is this vault located?

Here

Thank you

We found these items where we arrested you

What are they?

Nitric acid, vegetable oil, potassium

And these, blast wires, fuses and a remote control

These are for making bombs

What do you have in mind?

Are you trying to rob a vault?

Sir, I'm being very cooperative

I really don't know anything
about what you're asking

I'm not able to answer you

Ask him any other weapons? Any accomplices?

Darn you! Talk!

Talk!

I really don't know anything

You should know this person, right?

That's Chan Wah, Mak Kwan's cousin

He was caught operating an illegal horse
betting parlor in 1 992

He did 2 years in jail

The apartment where we caught you
is rented under his name

You should know him, right?

OK. I know him

Sir

Go on

You said these things aren't yours or Mak Kwan's

That means they belong to Chan Wah

Chung Lai Hung, you'd better cooperate with us

What exactly are you charging me with?

Aiding and abetting a suspect

possession of illegal explosives,
withholding information

Yung, take a break

Chung Lai Hung

Mak's confessed to all charges

He said you're not involved

But whether we believe him or not depends on you

Now we're going to add one more charge

The intent to rob the vault

You know about this plan, right?

Why don't you ask Mak Kwan?

Miss Chung, here's the situation

Mak's confessed to all the charges

Because he doesn't want you involved

We already know about his accomplices
and his weapons

and we already have all the evidence we need

I personally don't think you're involved

Tell me where his accomplices and the weapons are

and we'll let you go

Thank you for your valuable information

When you can remember anything

please inform my colleagues

Mak Kwan, family from Chiu Chou,
born in Hong Kong in 1 964

Graduated from HKU with a degree
in Civil Engineering in 1 986

Senior Engineer with Wingtai Construction Ltd

from 86 to 93

His field was construction site demolition

Sir

Sit up straight

In 1 993 you abused your position at work

and were fired

for illegally selling explosives

Since then you've been unemployed

You're an expert at demolition

Surely you must know how powerful
this explosive is

It can destroy half this station

What are you saying?

These aren't mine

Not yours?

I'll go next door and ask your girlfriend
if they're hers

It's got nothing to do with her

Let her go and I'll confess to all charges

No way

Unless you tell us

what were you going to rob?

How many people are working with you?

What weapons do you have?

You're just out to crack a big case aren't you?

Let me go

and I'll do something big

If you're able to, you can arrest me then

I think we're in for another hard time

Yes, Sir

Mak Kwan confessed to the charges

and will be sentenced to life in prison

You're all right for now

If you have any information about the robbers

call my mobile phone

Let's try to help each other out

Fine

Hello. This is Sung

Siu-hung

Where are you calling from?

Go check out Kwan

Brother, it's Siu-hung

Did you tell the police about us?

Yes. . .

After you see him,
we'll meet at the usual place, 8 p.m.

I'll call you

Do you know the place?
That's all for now

What's up?

Siu-hung said the police are on to our plan

We've been exposed

She hasn't seen Mak Kwan, has she?

We might have problems
with immigration when we leave

Let's get a new address first

and change the phone numbers immediately

Isn't it safer to go back to Taiwan now?

You gotta be kidding

We came here to make money, how can we quit now?

Wah, give us a minute

We have something to discuss

We thought we'd found the right guy

he dragged us into this shit instead

So what does this all mean?

We always do a clean job

I think this time there's no way out

Boss, what are you saying?

Are we supposed to bust him out of prison?

He's not even our friend

All the more reason, because he isn't our friend

There's nothing to keep him from implicating us

If we don't do it, we'll never be safe

We have to risk it

And if we can't free him, we kill him

What do you think?

I buy whatever you say

But Chan Wah may not go along

If he doesn't

get rid of him

OK

Please have a seat

Keep an eye on her

May I take your order?

Iced tea

Iced tea, please

Bill, let me remind you

Mak Kwan is in trouble

now because he lost a few million
betting on horses

I had a few million?

Keep a sharp eye on the target

Everyone knows you're involved with big jobs

so you're very popular

A lot of guys want to be friend with me

I have a private room and a private toilet here

Only no doors, just bars

People can see everything I do

What's wrong?

I'm still alive. The sky hasn't fallen

Cheer up!

Since I haven't been with you for awhile

there must be a lot of bloodhounds
on your tail

You know what I mean?

You're back!

Yes

Why didn't you call me last night?

I was busy

Did the criminal confess?

Yes, he did

How's the baby?

Good. Yesterday he learned how to write his name

He was hoping to show you when you came home

Oh! The construction foreman
who used to work for you

asked me to send you his regards

Please tell them that

I wish to have tea with them and talk
about the new project

You're still thinking about that?

I think they may have dropped the idea

But how can they earn a living
doing nothing? Right?

He's obviously asking his gang to get him out

They'll probably make their move
when we transfer him to court

Officer Pao, Chan Wah does
have an account with the Jockey Club

In fact, he made a bet today

What race is running right now?

The seventh

This is a record of his bets today

Seventh race, horses one, four and two

Eighth race, horses ten, six and three

Ninth race, horses five, three and seven

He bets a lot! He's very confident

The bets were made awhile ago
so we can't trace them

You're joking?

We have no right to ask the HKJC
to stop a horse from racing

Do you know the pot is always
over 1 00 million in each race?

Each horse takes in at least 1 0 million

But I'm sure those thieves are well-armed

If there's a gun battle,
there'll be a lot of causalities

We've got to apprehend them
before we move Mak Kwan to court

But our only clue to their whereabouts

is to get Chan Wah to bet again

Tomorrow we escort Mak Kwan along this route

Listen carefully

tomorrow I want you all on full alert

We could run into these guys
at any moment, understand?

Yes, Sir

Any questions?

Officer Pao, the fifth horse
in the ninth race just dropped out

Television

Horse number five

has suddenly dropped out due to health

Watch Chan Wah's account

If you've bet on this horse, it can be refunded

If you want to change your bet, better be quick

There are only three minutes left till the race

Chan may bet again

The race

is about to start

Number one, Power

is the dark horse

Chan Wah's betting

Trace the call

Number four, Bravo

doesn't seem like a good bet

I suspect its performance

Number five is attracting a lot of support

but let me remind you,
it's dropped out of the race

If you want to bet on another horse,
better be quick

The race starts in 30 seconds

The number is 2381 5746

Pull me up an address

Nathan Road, Po Ning Building, 1 4th floor, Room 2

Let's go

- Where's your captain?
- Inside, Sir

Don't block our way

Leave here

I'm with the SCB. What's happened?

One of the units is leaking gas

We've called the Fire Department

Which apartment?

Room 3 on the 1 4th floor

The electricity is out

Only the elevator for the odd floors is working

Maybe they knew we'd come
and they're pulling something

Should we wait for the firemen?

Let's go up

1 4. One more floor

Hold the elevator

Hey, buddy, we're with the SCB

- Can I use your flashlight?
- Yes, Sir

After me

Ma'am, may I use your flashlight?
Thank you

This is the unit

Stay back

Careful. If you fire we're in deep shit, you know?

Stand back

If we force the door and there's a spark

it'll explode

To stop this crime, I'll take the risk

Officer Pao

let me do it

Open the windows. Turn off the gas

Open all the windows

That's nitric acid

Get out! It's dangerous! Run!

Run!

Come out of there

What is it, Sir?

You'll find out

Why so late, Sir?

If you're planning an escape

you're dreaming

I don't know what you're talking about

Tomorrow we've assembled a team to escort you

A team of over one hundred cops
and thirty vehicles

There'll be roadblocks at all major exits

to check suspicious cars

If your buddies have the balls to try to save you

even if they've got AK-47s

we've got MP-5s

And I'm telling you man-to-man

you step even one foot outside the prison van

I'm shooting you myself

no matter what

If you don't want to die

tell your buddies not to show up

If you'd like to inform them, I'll help arrange it

I met my girlfriend
when I was in college

Her ex-boyfriend organized a gang to attack me

They kept stabbing me with a knife

Until I was lying on the floor, my body

I can't remember anything
after that except

they all looked so scared

I moved in with the girl

but they never came after me

I could never figure out why

until recently. Now I know

It's not an easy thing to kill someone

Have you ever killed someone?

You can't forget it for the rest of your life

The struggle of the dying

The scream of death

It lasts less than a minute

But it takes forever

That architect wakes me up every night
with his noise

You can't know better than I do

Then neither of us are normal people

Tomorrow, when you're about to shoot

Don't tremble

Eat your breakfast

I have no appetite

Look at you, you're all dirty

Hurry up. It's time for school

Baby, greet your daddy

Tell Daddy to eat his breakfast

Daddy, eat breakfast

Get me some stomach pills

I know where they are. I'll get them

Hurry up

Don't you have to go to school

Cut it first

Take it

Be careful

Everything checks out normal
at the Aberdeen Tunnel

Take the special passage. Over

Brother, there's roadblock

Wah, did the police see you last time?

No

We have to stop

Good morning, sir

Where are you headed?

Repulse Bay

Go ahead

Thank you, Sir

Unit 22 calling

Go ahead , 22

We've located the suspect, Chan Wah

And we've identified his car

Inform all units

Chan Wah has been spotted

He's in a gold Benz

License number DZ 61 83

There are four suspects in the vehicle

They're heading along
the Eastern Corridor toward Wanchai

Officer Pao, got it? Over

Got you. Over

Bill, Yung, go to Gloucester Road
and head them off

Got you

Jackie, no matter what

Don't let them get near the High Court building

Got it

OK, support team, move up

Team B, follow me

Lose him! Right

Move it, Sung!

Bill, Yung, report the location
of the suspects' vehicle

They're on Gloucester Road heading for Central

Copy

Turn it!

This is Pao, where are the suspects?

They're headed toward Hennessy Road

They diverted Yung

But I'm on them . Officer Pao

Do you read me?

Copy

They're all crazy!

Let's fight them to the death!

Officer Pao, the suspects are heading
toward Wanchai North

Stay on them. I'm almost there

Come on

Officer Pao, are you all right?

We're fine. Watch out, the criminals are armed

They're heading for Central

Yung, where are you?

Near Charted Road , Sir

We're approaching your position

I see them, Sir

Stop them!

Yes, Sir

Attention all units, don't let them reach Central

Force them to Sheung Wan
where it's less crowed

Do you read me? Over

Yung, don't let them past you.
Force them into the tunnel

Yes, Sir

There are more and more police

They've almost got us

Stay calm

Yung

stop them no matter what

Do you read me? Over

Don't worry. I've got them

Hit the dirt!

Let's get out of here!

Run!

Get in. Move it!

Sung!

After them!

Yung

License FD 2748. I'll get them

Somebody help!

- Yung!
- Help!

Call an ambulance!

Careful. Move him slowly

Force it open

Yank the door off

Give us a hand

Yung!

How is he?

Pull him out easy

Hold on, Yung

Officer Pao, I don't think he'll make it

Guys, call an ambulance

Got it

Yung

Yung!

Bill, where are you going?

Bill

Let me go! I've gotta get them!

Come on!

- Calm down!
- I gotta get those guys!

Bill!

Hands off! Get your hands off me!

I can't take it anymore

Let go of me! Please, let go!

Take it easy. They've already gone

Your brothers will do anything for you

They do it for money. That's all

So

You know that little job I've talked about?

Yes

The best time is when the chief comes

You'll have to have someone
get the money from my girlfriend

I can arrange everything from in here, but

whether it works or not depends on you

Whatever happens, no refunds

Of course. You can only depend on yourself

Why are you crying?

Why are you crying? Did Mommy punish you?

What? Be good

I told you to write, not come in here

Let's go. Don't bother your daddy

Take your bath

Have you finished your homework?

Mommy asked you to write and you cry?

Stop crying or I'll beat you

Stop it or I'll beat you

I've taught you before

Don't do it. Let's go for a walk

Come on!

Don't cry

Daddy's taking you out for a walk, OK?

You're still thinking about Yung

Baby, this away. Don't go there

I told him to do it

I'm the one who told him to stop their car

It was an accident. It wasn't your fauLt

You didn't wish for it to happen, did you?

I've been a cop for over ten years

My gun gets heavier and heavier

I don't want to shoot anybody
and I especially don't want to get shot

Now, one of my men are dead

My heart aches, you know?

I don't think I'm cut out to be a cop anymore

We won't starve if you quit your job

What's important is that you're happy

What's wrong?

Have fun. Go have fun. Go on

It's ready, Boss

Take these cigarettes with you , Buddy

And this, too

Take care, my friend

Cover him up

You lied! You said the cops didn't see you

You lead my friend to his death. Go to hell!

How's it coming?

I don't recognize anyone

What? You can't identify him?

I just got a glance at him

Even a rookie could recognize a suspect

How did you get pass
the promotion board?

There wasn't any time. I didn't get a good look

Why don't you just admit you're scared?

The distance between us was just one foot

If I had stared at their faces

It'd have been me that was killed instead

You expect me to identify them?

I expect you to arrest them , instead

Think you can handle that?

How can you talk to me like that?

You think I don't want to arrest them?

Then why did we sacrifice one of our men?

How can you call yourself a cop?

Take it easy!

Forget it, Sergeant

I'm sorry about the death of your man

But I tried my best

Calm down

We're family

One way or the other we'll bring these guys down

You can go now, Sergeant

Yes, Sir

Pao

I think you need some time off

Not before I've closed this case, Sir

With the reunification coming,
we should be thinking only one thing:

Peace

Word hard

Yes, Sir

Officer Pao

Mak Kwan's girlfriend sold her bar for $300,000

Bill, keep an eye on her round the clock

I want to be informed of her every move

Yes, Sir

The judge has arrived

Help

Catch that idiot! Catch him!

Help. . .

On your knees

Take her up! . . .

Whether he makes it or not,
it's none of our business

Does it hurt?

It's better

What do you have a report?

This guy lives in the nearby village

He saw the suspect board a speedboat
heading for Mainland China

Mainland China?

Impossible!

Sir, I saw the boat head for China

Jackie

Get a statement at the jail

Go now

What kind of statement do you mean?

Interrogate anyone who had any contact with Mak

Prisoners he hung out with anyone
who visited him

Yes, Sir

Impossible

Mak escaped for a big job.
He has no reason to return to China

Officer Pao

Mak's girlfriend is getting a ticket for Macau

Stop her from going, I don't care how

Take her to the station if you have to

But that'll arouse attention

Our men can tail her

It's not necessary to expose ourselves

I can't lose her, got it?

Yes, Sir

Jackie, what's the matter with you?
Why aren't you going?

If I take one of the cars, you only have one left

You won't all fit

What has that got to do with you?

If there's no room, they can walk

I'll take the helicopter!

Miss Chung,
I'm afraid you can't leave Hong Kong

Why not? I haven't committed any crime

We have the right to detain you for 48 hours

We hope you'll cooperate with us

OK. So, I won't leave

Fine me for littering, if you wish

How are you?

No complaints

How are you?

Congratulations on your freedom, buddy

Let's have a toast

Come on, cheers

Where is Chan Wah?

The cops killed him and Sung

That first time we tried to free you,
the cops recognized Wah

and there was a shoot out

Can the cops identify you now?

It's possible

There are only three of us left

Should we give it up?

I killed the architect

I escaped from prison. You think I'd quit now?

The show must go on

Good

Another toast

Don't take any photos

How did Chung escape?

The girl drove in. I tailed her

God knows, she had a monthly ticket.
I couldn't pay

You're too careless!

If your mind's on gambling, how can you work?

Sir, I didn't

No? What's this?

Sir

That's not for racing

If you don't trust me, how can I work with you?

I quit

Sir, Bill is trying. Give him a chance

Get him

Yes, Sir

Bill

Officer Pao isn't himself

He wants you back

Since Yung was killed

I haven't gambled

Let's do it for Yung

This drainage pipe was there
before construction began

To divert it would be too costly

So, when they designed the building

they worked around it

How can you be so sure?

I studied civil engineering in college

If the architect

hadn't also built the vault

this would have stayed a secret

How do you operate the outer door?

They use two combination locks

It must be opened by two people
at the same time

Before it's closed

they have to set a time lock

Only on the following morning

can anyone open the outer door

So there's plenty of time to move the money out

You're late!

Where's the girl?

She's gone! She went that way

Follow me

Go check over there

It's not easy to kill someone

Come on, Kwan, they've seen us

Kwan!

Come on! . . .

Hurry up! Run!

Let's go

Police! Freeze!

Go

Out of my way

Sorry, Sir

Take it easy. Your anger isn't going
to help break this case

Even though no bystanders were shot

Your actions caused the accident

You'd better come up with a good excuse
for the report

Thank you, Sir

Officer Pao, please

Mak Kwan

I just called to see
how the motorcyclist was doing

He's fine. Thanks for your concern . How about you?

You remind me of my friend in high school

We were always fighting
to be number one in the class

I remember

One year, he lost

I saw him crying in the toilet stall

That made me sad, too

I hate the feeling of losing

Mak just called me on my mobile phone

Have somebody trace the call

Give me a racing form

Sir, I don't gamble

When is the horse racing season over?

It'll last a few more weeks

Any special event this year?

The betting's gone crazy in Hong Kong.
The total bet is over 1 billion

Over 400 million was bet on 3T

The Chief Executive Cup Race is coming up

They estimate the bets will exceed 2 billion

Are you thinking they're going
to rob the Jockey Club?

Mak lost the savings and, thus,
his future to the Jockey Club

He can't admit failure

So, he's going to take revenge

I know he will!

Let's see what they're doing

There're over 1 30 betting counters
inside the track

After the races, the money's picked up

and counted by the head cashier

Then the money's escorted by security officers

How many people does it take to count 1 billion?

And how long does it take?

Until it's all counted

If there're any mistake, no one can leave

When does the armored car leave?

That's classified . I can't answer your question

Afterwards the banks would be closed

Where do you store the money?

Is there a vault at the race track?

Mrs. Pao? I've come to read the meter

Please come in

This is the director of the Jockey Club

This is Officer Pao

How do you do?

What exactly do you want to know?

You must have your own vault, right?

Without the consent of the Board of Directors

we can say nothing

Look, some criminals intend to rob the Jockey Club

We got this blueprint of one of the suspects

Is this the blueprint for the Jockey Club's vault?

I really wish you could cooperate with us

I need to get permission from the directors
before I can answer

Permission

Go to hell!

What's going on? What happened?

Could you have kicked the switched by accident?

It's a beautiful day today

for the Chief Executive Cup Race

The track is crowded to overflowing with people

The accumulated total for betting

has reached over 1 .8 billion dollars!

And it's broken another record!

This is Mr. Lau . He's in charge of the vault

He's the most knowledgeable
about the money operations

Please answer Officer Pao's question

Of course, Mr. Chan

I need to know if the money stays

in the vault after the races?

After counting, the money is transferred
to the insurance company

The money that hasn't been counted stays
in our vault

And it's counted and transported the next day

Officer Pao, the last race has started

The horses are rushing

toward the finish

Cyprus is running as fast as Lightening Go. . .

Cyprus has passed

I'm a Winner and Brasa

And it's Cyprus!

You know me well.
You know I'm going to rob the Jockey Club

You deserve a present

I've left one in an abandoned car
on the 3rd floor of the garage

I guarantee it will give you an everlasting memory

Trace the call

The rest of you come with me

Toss our your lunches!

Don't touch the car!

Officer Pao

Stop the car!

Spread out!

Get the bomb squad down here

Calling control, this is PC 3372

We've traced Mak Kwan's call

He used your wife's mobile phone

You'd better get back home

Let us deal with this

You get to your home

Get a team over there. I'm on my way

We're really making the police jump through hoops

Tomorrow when they find

the Jockey Club's been robbed

They're going to look very stupid

Kwan, don't be nervous

It'll be fine

Let's go

Ready, Boss

Here he comes

- Officer Pao
- How are my wife and son?

I don't know. The team's up there now

- Sir
- Officer Pao

Daddy

There was a man.
He said he was here to read the meter

I let him in and he tied us up

Then he locked us in a room

I don't know when he left

And then the police showed up

Daddy

- Hey
- Yes

Have you found anything?

He set at your table,
ate your food and read your paper

We haven't found anything else

You've got to get out right now!
You can't stay here!

Hurry! This guy sets bombs

Arrange a car for my wife

Right

Sam, arranged a car for Office Pao

Yes, Sir

Is this car for me?

Yes. Where do you want me to take them?

Find a safe hotel

and I want round-the-clock surveillance

Which hotel, Officer Pao?

Find one! Do I have to do it for you?

Darling

Have him take us to the police station.
We'll be safe there

Do what you have to do

We'll wait for you there

But you've got to be careful, OK?

Please be careful

I'll be fine

Go on

This is Pao, what's the status?

The bomb squad is here

It's a mercury switch so they don't want
to move it

They want to detonate it on-site

This is just a diversion

They must already be on the move

Let me know if anything breaks

That's all

Anything happens?

No

Bill, this is Pao, how's the bomb?

It was a dummy, a fake one

A fake?

What's happening?

Go find out

What's going on?

Everything's in order

Show me. Hurry!

The vault has a time lock

If it's not the fixed time, we can't open it

So, what'll we do?

We have to wait until 9 a. m.

There's got to be another way

The Directors have an override code

Then why aren't you calling them?

Kwan

Send someone to check the circuit breakers

What happened?

Hurry!

What are you doing? Help me

Mak Kwan must be inside

What's the problem?

Mr. Lau isn't home

I'll try his mobile phone

What's this?

If some of the staff get locked in

We can pass them food and water through here

What about the inside door?

It opens from inside

Mak Kwan!

I know you're in there

Officer Pao

I know you're a good cop

I don't mean to oppose you

But we are standing on two different sides

I come to get back what I lost

I apologize for threatening your family

Stop talking nonsense!
You won't get away with this

I believe if one can imagine it, one can do it

He's right

You can't escape

They know who you are

You should join Chan Wah

It'll be safer

You killed Chan Wah?

That's right

How's it?

Thank you, Sir

We've got the code

Hurry up!

What are you staring at?

Are you trying to stay with me
for the rest of my life?

Don't make me wait for you

It's ready

Sir, be careful

Kwan!

Where's the Taiwanese?

Put the money in the car

Stop it! Stop!

No!

Get up!

Stop! . . .

Stop fighting!

Let him go!

Kwan!

No! I beg you

Kwan!

Shoot

You had a lot to say
about the first time you killed

So what's it like killing the second guy?

Shoot and you'll know

Get up

Get up!

No!

Drop the gun!

Don't force me!

Drop the gun!

Don't force me!

Drop it!

Don't make me shoot!

Help!

Drop the gun!

I mean it, I'll shoot!

Honey!

Darling, are you all right?

I'm fine. Don't worry

How's the baby?

He's embarrassing me

Whenever he sees your colleagues

he says 'Yes, Sir'

He's being good. He helped me tidy your office

Now, he's sleeping on your desk

Don't let him catch cold

I won't. How is your case?

Closed

Congratulations

Honey

I really love you and the baby

Are you sure you're all right?

I'm fine

When will you come take us home?

I'm sending someone to pick you up now

- We'll be waiting
- I have to go

- Bye-bye
- Bye-bye
