Dragon Squad (2005) - full transcript
A team of young Interpol agents arrive in Hong Kong to give testimony at the trial of local crime lord 'Puma' Duen. Among them are American agent Andy Hui, Taiwanese cop Vanness Chang, and local lawman Lok. They are greeted by Hong Kong police commander Hon Sun. The heavily armed convoy taking Puma to court is attacked by a ruthless team of North Korean agents, led by international terrorist Petros Davinci. Petros is seeking revenge for his brother in arms, who was killed by Puma and his brother, 'Tiger' Duen. At Petros' side is his fierce enforcer, Ko, and a lethal lady sniper, Song. After Puma is snatched, the Interpol team insists on tracking down Petros themselves. Hon Sun rejects their request and places the team in the care of veteran police officer Kong Long. A burned out cop who has never come to terms with either his personal or professional history, Long Kong is reluctant to get involved. Finally, inspired by his young charges, he rises to the occasion, and leads the Interpol team on their quest for Petros and his team. The mean streets of Hong Kong form a backdrop for a battle of wills, wits, and urban warfare.

This is my first mission
I want to capture the whole process
Human memories are complicated
As time passes, you can deceive
yourself
What’s recorded is reality
Last month, a shootout between
police and criminals
left five police officers dead
Seven officers are still in critical
condition
In this mission, code named Panther
Killer
Panther Duen, the younger of two
brothers,
responsible for multiple armed
robberies
and operating a drug syndicate
is going to court
to attend a hearing in two hours
Partnering with Hong Kong
Police, Interpol agents
sent from China, America, and
England
are gathering to prosecute Panther
Duen
with testimony and evidence
to dismantle Duen's illegal
businesses
Police, freeze!
Police!
I'm Pak Yut Suet I'm Wang Sun Ho
Hi, I’m Luo Zai Jun My name’s 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
Madam, Gentlemen,
let me introduce you to the lead
officer in this case
Commander Hong Sun
On behalf of the Hong Kong Police,
thank you for sharing this
information
I assure you, your testimony and
evidence

Protect us?
I'm in charge of this case
Nothing out of the ordinary//will
happen here
This is my final order
Yes, Sir!
Let's go
What're you doing?
It's my first mission
I want to capture the whole process
Human memory is too complicated
As time passes, you may... remember
things differently
What’s recorded is reality
Sometimes it's okay to lie to
yourself
At least you can forget the sad
stuff
Makes things less complicated
I've forgotten a lot of things...
even my mom's birthday
It's my job to lie to myself
Otherwise, how could I lie to
everyone else?
Did you ever regret being an
undercover cop?
Two words: Only once
When you’re a sniper, you hope for
a single shot
What's the matter, Miss?
Are you okay?
What?
Sit down
Don't worry
It'll all be over soon
Everybody look out
Beware of Panther
Ready
What the hell?!
Watch out!
Move!
Move!
Freeze! Hands up!
Freeze! Freeze!
So who's the asshole?
Madam! What?
Han set a trap. Run!
Roger that
Nobody's there?
Definitely not
The real prison van is at the court
by now
Why didn't you tell us?
We're not playing games here!
Calm down...
Attention
No response on patrol car radio for
15 minutes
Officers and firearms considered
missing
Roger out
Alpha Team, move out!
A Team moving. Get in the car
Where're they going?
You punks!
What the hell!
All cars
Patrol car and firearms are still
missing
B team, stay sharp Ready for action
What's happening out there?
Sir, the patrol car’s here
Multiple officers down
Go 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!
Cover me!
Stay calm!
Please don't
No, please don't
Goddamn jerks!
Sir, can you please comment...
Sir, what's the police’s next move?
Is there a new strategy?
Sir, will this case be passed on to
Interpol?
The Panther case isn’t over yet
There’s no cause to send you away
But if you do anything wrong,
I have the right to arrest you
Are you okay, Boss?
Isn’t that our courtesy guest
car? It's a mess!
Those sons of bitches!
Long Yes
You handle those goddamn punks
and never, ever let them drive!
Understand? Sure
He's a good dog
That’s Friday. Injury retirement,
but still on salary
I'm gonna join him in retirement
in just five days
The local boss...
of an international Triad
organization, Panther Duen
was abducted en route to a 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 up the radio, Long
The news is over
The HK Police had multiple
casualties
and you don't care about it?
Colleagues die
Others will take their place
Who'd be left to patrol if everyone
went out for revenge?
Who'd arrange your meals if I went
off like that?
Do your part, or the world falls
apart
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?
It's a big case, gotta go back
I 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
Been here a long time. I'm used to
it
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 one minute, and I'll show
you
Stay on target...
No money, no play
You're a sharpshooter
Somebody's waiting for you
Let me cover you
Can I try?
A lefty sharpshooter, indeed
I admire you
You're great! Okay
This is marksmanship
I learned to shoot on the move
I'm not used to standing still
Please, give me a chance
Let me borrow the gun
I’ll shoot the rest
Thanks
This is what a sniper does
You and me...
we make a good team
A team?
Why not?
They're well organized
obviously not just some local
Triads
They use military tactics
I'm pretty sure the sniper’s a woman
I hacked into HK Police records
Apart from the sniper's weapon,
their guns are police-issue
One officer was stabbed with a
knife, close quarters
One slash, straightforward
How could Tiger assemble such a
powerful group?
Guys, I don’t think...
The target’s not coming out unless
we take action
I know what you're thinking
Let's hit Tiger's place, and take a
look
This is it
You know how much they earn, just
from this street?
Drugs, gambling,
prostitution... Visible and
invisible,
on the streets, and underground
$10 million a day
They've changed their working hours
Packing up so early? Let me 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 two days’
time
Make a decision,
or I can't help you anymore
Yuet, Sarge
Open his eyes
Ko...?
My brother will give your money
back!
Let me go...
I’ve never owed anyone
And I don't like it...
Being owed something
I'll give 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 didn'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
Everything’s 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 his old buddy came by
He’ll know what I want
Ching Tiger?
Send me a text. I gotta work
Got it
How're you doing?
I'm fine, don't worry
I've just been busy lately
I'll come see you soon
Okay
Be careful
Some colleagues say Long walks his
dog here every day
That Long... he’s such an odd
character
I'm afraid he won't help us
Don't worry
Women are better at asking for help
I'll handle it
I wanna 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 a partner during a case?
I did worse than that
I fell in love with my target
when I was undercover
Can you believe that?
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 can
help me later
What're you doing here?
Village boy!
I'm afraid I can't speak very 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 so important, right?
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 just care about your
colleagues!
Go find them, then
Why come to me?
I know I was wrong
Can't you give me one more chance?
I don’t need your help
Not now,
and not in the future!
I don't want a father like you!
I'll do what I promised
Based on their actions,
they're special agents. I’m sure of
it
They break the rules They’re hard
to deal with
You won't find them using normal
methods
They're probably hiding in the city,
acting as normal citizens,
and planning their next move
Panther’s a deputy He’s got no real
power
I don't think he's the target
It's his brother, Tiger Duen
So, if we get to Tiger Duen
we'll find the agents, too
He has four trained bodyguards with
him
They're known as the Power 4
You’ve gotta put them under
surveillance
Look
Kong Long
Ko
You're still fast
Faster every day
I knew you'd come looking for me
You know why?
My face still burns
So, how’s your old friend?
Sharp as ever
He's not alone this time
Anything to drink?
No
Sorry
You've never known what it’s like
to be hungry
I've seen men killed for less than
this
They're just kids
Target practice for your team
But Tiger’s been playing this
game for a long time
He won't show his hand unless we
force him to
What's our strategy, Colonel?
There's an old Chinese saying:
Don’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 direct me toward
Hollywood road?
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
Okay, all right. Well, thanks
anyway
Oh, it's you again
Hello
This, I know you can help with
Would you read my fortune for me?
What do you want to know?
I'm looking for a young woman
Think I'll find her?
Doesn't look so good. See right
here?
It says you'll face 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 if we stay
strangers
Tell me your name, at least
You already know it!
Shit!
Bye-bye...
Ching
Wah
Going home? Come with me
Yeah, go with Wah. I have to go
Don’t be stuck up. Get in
You think you're so goddamn special?
No, Wah
Are you okay?
Okay
Thank you
You a busybody? No, Wah!
Fighting back?
No, Wah!
Ching, stay away
It's my fault Stand still
No, Wah!
Don't move!
Cops! Run, Wah! No, Wah!
Are you okay? Yeah, I'm fine
I'm so sorry
It's all right
Thank you
You sure you're okay?
Yeah, I'm all right
Besides, it looks like your
shoes got the worst of it
Thanks again
Good night
Why come see me so late?
Tiger Duen
We’re businessmen We should pay
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
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
Maybe you'll decide to pay
if we make you cry
in despair!
For you
Grenade! Run!
Soy sauce?
Freeze! Freeze!
Don't go!
Go after him!
Take the gun!
Shoot!
Shoot him!
I don’t time to play with you
No, Tiger!
Let's move out
Time for the show to start
Yes, Colonel
Drop the gun!
Freeze! Shoot me!
Drop your guns! Shoot me!
Police! Freeze!
You two!
Drop the guns!
Drop your guns!
Raise your hands!
Can't you give them another chance?
Remember how your partners died?
It's because you didn't follow
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, too
Honestly, it's Kong Long who saved
you
You should thank him
Let's get some exercise
I'm with you
I've jogged this road for more than
10 years
But I'll still get lost if I'm
careless
It's not easy, following the right
track
You'll find your legs getting tired
Then one day, you’ll ask yourself
why you go on
In just a few days, I'll be out for
good
What happened three years
ago wasn't your fault
No one should blame you for your
colleagues’ deaths
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 eight colleagues had a gun
battle with a gang
They took 47 shots in total
What happened?
Four cops died
My dad was one of them
13 years later,
their sons and daughters became
friends
Three of them became cops
I was one of them
Do you know how we feel
when people talk about their
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 was lost once,
and it was hard to find myself
again
I don't want to take the wrong past
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 left home when I was 15
Spent some time in Central
America, Colombia mostly,
then Eastern Europe,
and 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’re 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 didn’t
Here For me?
Yes, I wanted to give you something
You were so nice the other night
Do you like them?
They're beautiful
Allow me
Now, you can go to the ball
What?
Like Cinderella
Are you all right?
Whenever I’m happy, I get scared
I know I'll be sad again soon
Do you know why the little
angel doesn't have a mouth?
Because she likes to keep secrets?
You’ll find a smile on her
face when you’re happy,
and a sad face when you're upset
She can share your feelings
There's some business I need to
take care of
Would you like to come with me?
Sure
Okay. A little female charm is good
for business
Sir...
There’s four operatives on the
balcony
Two teams of snipers standing by
guarding the building exits
We've got men on the 6th and 7th
floors
Four units watching the two main
routes,
especially the 9th floor
As well as eight sharpshooters
ready and in position
Well done
Once they come for Tiger,
there's no way out
HK Police must keep you safe!
You and the agents will learn to
respect justice
Aren't you gonna 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 6, 7, and the roof
The special unit has Tiger on 8
I’ll handle the cops
You get the package to Tiger
Which team do you belong to, Sir?
I asked you which team you're on!
It's him. Tell all units to get
ready
Yes, Sir!
Target approaching 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’ll 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
Come on
Target sighted
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 okay. We don't owe each other
anything
It's just temporary. Trust me
Lies always sound better than the
truth
I'm not lying to you
I wouldn't do that
Bring it back to me. Promise
They're trying to trap you,
Lieutenant
Your escape route's blocked
You take care of the two in front,
I'll handle the two behind
Sniper, ready!
Jie, ready
Suet, ready
We hear you, Ho
Ho, ready
Here!
Reload!
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!
Suet!
Hello, mom, how are you?
Lam residence, please leave your
message after the tone
Thank you
Mom, I’ve gotta stay a few more days
Hong Kong cops piss me off
They said they really need me
I will come back
I will
Bye
You've been saying you'll quit
smoking
But you're still doing it
You can lie to yourself for years,
up until until the day you die
I should have listened to you
I can’t handle all the
responsibility
You’re cheating yourself, too
You’ll never forget that
battle three years ago
If I had just one more day...
I'd give myself another chance
Boss
I'm out of time
Tomorrow’s your last day as a cop
Give yourself a chance,
and those kids as well
We’ll go first. See you
I can handle it. Have fun
Let me open it
I'll do it myself
I've asked her so many times
just to come and see me,
but she never did
I didn't want to blame her,
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 two years on the force
I became a cop because of him
Hoped to share my experiences with
him
But sometimes I think,
I'm the only family he has
What if something happened to me?
Who'd look after him?
Brother
After tomorrow, I don't know when
I'll see you again
I know you had high hopes,
but I want you to know...
whether or not I catch this gang,
I 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 been
running guns and drugs for years
All the firearms and drug dealers
have bank account numbers and
passwords
They’re all stored somewhere
No mark, no trace
Their underground capital exceeds $2
billion
All the numbers are on film
It’s their most valuable asset,
and the agents' prime target
Nobody ever knew where Tiger hid it,
but they forced his hand
If Tiger runs, he’ll take the film
with him
He can’t be seen in public now,
so he’ll have someone take it for
him
I know who she is
If you don't act today, you'll
never get another chance
Will you come help me catch them?
Stay, or go!
Come on
We go together,
and come back together!
Yes, Sir!
Hello
Tiger
Take the stuff from the safe box,
then I'll call you
Make sure you’re not followed
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
All right, 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 out her tires
Yes, Sir
Petros, I can't believe it
I've got a flat
Don't worry, I'll come pick you up
Ching, Petros told me to get you
And you are...
I'm his friend
It must be Kong Long
Did you get on the highway?
Yes, Sir
Exit the second intersection and
turn right
There's an abandoned power
plant three kilometers away
You bring the girl, and I'll trap
the bastards there
All right, Sir
My boss
Hello
Ching, could you put my friend on
the phone?
Petros
Yes
Now I can add chauffeur to your
list of talents
Thank you so much
Well, you're very welcome
Like I said, you'll be facing many
obstacles
Why’s there 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, the snipers are following us
Great! Lead them as far away as
possible
Yes, Sir!
Ho, Ko and Petros are here
Get 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 have to 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 do we get out of here?
We could 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 three
years
Today, I’m closing it
Let's end this as it began
Give yourself a way out
A defeated soldier
only has one way out!
Lok, Petros may show up
suddenly. Look out
Don't worry. Let me cover you
I won't let Petros get close
Ching
Okay, 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 there, fortune teller
Where is Lok?
Hello, Ching Petros!
Where’s your friend?
I'm afraid he had to leave us
Where did your boyfriend ask you to
meet him?
At the cinema
Stay here
Ching
Let me deliver it
Why?
Because I don't want you seeing him
again
He's in House 2, Row 10
You think you're smart, stealing my
girl?
Go ahead, open it up
That's what I like about Ching
Whatever lie you tell her, she'll
believe it
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 complicated
As time passes...
you can deceive yourself
I used to believe that what I
recorded was reality
Until the night I returned to that
pub,
and sat where Petros once sat
I saw her again
She looked so different,
I suddenly realized that what I
recorded...
wasn’t so real, after all
Only when there’s faith
does it finally become the truth
