Congratulations

Sure

come in

here's the report
on the fight two days ago

have a seat

huang guodong

you're a great officer

some say you're too tough
to your subordinates

I'll pay attention to that, sir

one more thing

you don't seem to have enough rest

I've a favor to ask

you want to take some time off?

No sir

I want to use my own time
to investigate...

An old case which happened 3 years ago

please give me the permission

all the files regarding this case

what case is it?

2 men involved in a robbery case
at kowloon peak

they killed someone

the victim's name is liang guan

you knew him?

He's my best friend

You're a good officer

but I don't understand

why you want to investigate

this case on your own?

At your position

you're not entitled to
investigate a murder yet

but with your job performance...

You will be promoted soon

some day

you will take care of the criminal cases

but I don't want you...

To be personally involved

shortly after that murder case

you joined the police force

was it because of revenge?

I hope not

huang guodong

every officer in the force...

Has his or her different purpose to join

but our mission

is to keep a safe society

I want to nab the murderer

then with your authority

you can kill him and get your revenge

then you'll be the murderer

you'll ruin the force's reputation

Robbery

robbery

Stand still

police

you better be careful

Hurry... the police are here

Go

Bye

Come here

Rough up that other gang pretty good

sure

Who are you?

Police

Comrade, attention

comrade will about. About turn

The police are here

Hurry...

Freeze

no running

Freeze

Go...

Go

Go

Heads up

Who knows this guy?

Anyone?

No eee

take them back to the station

go

Look

my birthday?

You forgot your own birthday, officer?

Don't treat the police as a fruitcake

I never remember my birthday

for you

thanks, I'll treat you to dinner

take a look first

Sorry

I gave you such a gift

you think I forgot?

It's been 5 years

countless cases,
promotions after promotions

will we ever find the killer?

Of course we will

you think that I've given up?

The only reason which keeps me going

is the hope that you'll find the killer

so that we'll get revenge for liang guan

1 will

shen yan, when the 3 of us
used to hang out

I knew I wasn't as good as liang guan

that's why I didn't say anything

but now that liang guan's dead

I have no time to think about other things

every time I see you, I want to...

Are we going out for dinner?

Inspector

Let's go

Come here

Coroner

give me the autopsy as soon as possible

sure

checked the cars nearby?

Yes

two withesses

they saw the car parked in front

they were going up the hill

they threw the body out

but they can't remember the license plate

I managed to take a good look
at one of them

because our lorry was close to them

he threw the body out

Let's go

You have a problem?

He drove away in a rush

he gave us a stare

I remember his face

please come to the station

and we'll get a composite sketch
of the suspect

sure

That's the one

ask the archival guys to hurry

we must get an ID on the victim

his face was disfigured

no fingerprints

we must find his other characteristics

detective, this is the composite sketch

Metal filings found in the victim's hair

I've a primary autopsy report

he was beat to death

The metal filings in his hair

are copper

could have something to do with his job

he was murdered brutally

and the killers
tried to destroy everything

with which we could identify him

this is more than a grudge

right

that's execution style

found the vehicle yet?

Hello

I'll be right over

new discoveries from the coroner

here and here...

Are marks of gunshot wounds

looking at it
from the bone's convalescence...

It can be deduced both shots
were almost simultaneous

the shooter could be a sniper, sort of

thanks for your compliment

but I'm not that good

detective, you shot him

I arrested him, ruan xiang, 2 years ago

I fired 2 shots at him, he resisted

check his files

from the X-ray report we got two years ago

when we arrested ruan xiang

this is the victim's

perfect match

the victim is ruan xiang

he was charged with
using counterfeit notes

and was sentenced to 2 years in prison

he just got out last week

after he got arrested...

We found more counterfeit notes
in his flat

he worked as a metal engraver

he made molds for the counterfeit notes

I suspected him back then

he's related to
a large criminal organization

but I had no evidence

he didn't make any statement

he said he picked up the money

he was on good behavior in prison

there's only one visiting record

that was on 1st visiting day
after his imprisonment

the visitor was a woman
and we followed her

she's su ling, a call girl

we've kept an eye on her for a while

no progress, so we stopped following her

What's your conclusion?

Counterfeit notes
are still circulating today

the organization is still active

1 will start from this murder

and I will try to bring
the organization down

good work

inspector huang

set up a task force

you can have all the manpower you need

thank you sir

that's settled

end of meeting

good luck

thank you sir

go ahead

okay

we've been working together for 5 years

we know each other pretty well now

sir, when 1 first joined

I was fresh from the academy

that's right

the time has passed by so fast

your job performance is excellent

but your report...

You left out a major point back there

I believe it's intentional

we have a composite sketch of the suspect

the one who threw the victim out

why didn't you mention that?

I think he's just a small fry

and it will be difficult to locate him

I've seen the sketch

I remember his face

I'm sure you do as well

the case you're working on...

Has the whole society at stake

I hope you understand

I do

great, how will you get to it?

I'll look for that su ling first

she seems to be the only one
ruan xiang knew

Mister, these three...

Great, sit down

I came here two years ago

there's a girl called su ling

we've got so many girls

and you only remember su ling?

Why's that?

She taught me to dance

that's why I remember

let me teach you dance

no eee

come on

I hear if this su ling's accomplice
is still around...

This man would be a squanderer

ll saw her once in the salon

she seems to be doing well

sporting a huge diamond ring

excuse me, I can't dance

give up, su ling's with a rich man now

she has seen her before

where?

1 won't tell

Go! Go on

What's with you?

Li worked on a case in the club

what kind of case...

That you had to go yourself?

I've found out news regarding the killer

where's he?

Don't know yet

but a withess saw him

he's the mystery killer on the paper

you must find him, guodong

1 will

for you, for me, for liang guan

You haven't cried for 5 years

why are you crying now?

It's been too long

I want to be there when you catch him

I want to see him dead

promise me

shen yan, all these years

I haven't forgotten about the killer

but I've thought about it

don't you think...

We're too obsessed with vengeance?

You think we are wrong?

Why?

He has ruined my happiness

you'll never know

you weren't there
when liang guan was killed

his eyes were open when he died

he saw me running away for help

could there be anything
more crueler than this?

The killer deserves the same

I understand your feeling

but, we can't...

You've changed

you're worried this might reflect poorly
on your job

have you forgotten
why you joined the force?

Who do you take me for?

You're right. It was because...

I want to get my revenge

however, after joining the police force...

I've understood a lot more

shen yan

Sorry

I was wrong

if we'll get our revenge

you must help me

the lead is a call-girl named su ling

she frequents a beauty salon

I lost the game...

You weren't here yesterday

I was busy

you're always busy

A little bit higher on this end

alright?

Almost

fine

Thanks

We've been there

we checked the house

it belongs to a businessman...

Sun zuozhong. Nothing unusual

at that time he was on a business trip

looks like...

We're not getting anywhere with this lead

Let's pay them a visit

Mr. sun, gao tu is here

Mr. sun

What are your orders?

You've done a good job on ruan xiang

that's my specialty

Look at this

some good job!

Don't worry, they won't find me

I've killed someone 5 years ago

but I'm still alright, ain't 1?

I don't care about 5 years back

it's different now

ruan xiang is dead, no worries

they...

Shut up

you've made a mistake

mistakes aren't allowed

Mr. sun

please forgive me

what we're doing now...

Is different

from your petty crimes earlier

got it?

I know, Mr. sun

they won't find me

I won't let them

officers from the
criminal investigation...

You should have knocked first

there's a senior inspector
called Mr. huang

who's here looking for su ling

What about?

No idea

All of you in here, don't leave

yes

Ll don't know him

or maybe you can't recall

what do you mean?

I've told you I don't know him

Mrs. sun

let me refresh your memory

this man was sentenced to imprisonment

when he was in jail

you visited him under a fake name

you visited him
under the name of huang ling

you weren't Mrs. sun then

when you were working at the club

your stage name was su ling

you should know who he is now

Mr. huang

with her background

no one wants to remember the old days

I know, I'm sorry

but this is crucial

I hope Mrs. sun will cooperate

it's alright, 1 know about your past

I won't be threatened by it

just tell the officer

I knew him, he was generous

his name was ruan something

then he went to jail

he gave me a large sum of money

he asked me to visit him

what did he tell you?

Nothing, he told me to wait for him

he said he is rich

there're plenty of guys
like him at the club

so have you seen him lately?

No

Why would 1?

I meant after he got out of prison

have you seen him?

I didn't even know he got out

sorry to disturb you

Mr. huang

you know I'm not married to her

please keep this a low profile

of course,
you're a legitimate businessman

with social status and reputation

There's nothing suspicious anyway

Mr. sun zuozhong is a honest man

What? You told me to see ruan xiang

Calm down, it's alright

get out

yes

stay in the house

yes

They're good

they found out about
su ling's visit 2 years ago

although the officer didn't say anything

but I'm sure he knows that ruan's dead

they will keep an eye on us

everyone's alright

except gao tu

is the call-girl a good lead?

No

I couldn't think of anything

she knew ruan xiang from before

just a client-call girl relationship

but she visited him in jail

ruan xiang was generous,
that's her explanation

sun zuozhong's quite calm

everything's normal

when I walked in

I got it

when she invited me in

ll saw a male servant

then I didn't see him afterwards

maybe that man keeps an eye on her

this could be a problem

I'll go back to check again

What job have we got?

Nothing much

we're picking up a man

he must be a somebody

the three of us going to pick him up

who knows?

Let me drive, okay

why? Does it matter?

I like to drive

This is my seat

after the car starts, one grab

at the guy's neck, he's over

you better watch out

Those three must be his henchmen

let's go check

Where are we going?

Sending you to hell

Let's go

Guodong

That's him...

He's the one?

Who are you?

Senior inspector of the police force

are you sure it's him?

Yes, 100% sure

I'll never forget his face

5 years ago, you killed liang guan
at kowloon peak

you tied up his hands, then stabbed him

He was a good friend of mine

I joined the force to get my revenge

all this time I've been looking for you

Stop it. You are a cop

you can't do this, you're a cop

with your authority,
you can get your revenge

then you're the murderer

you'll ruin the force's reputation

He's cruel, he deserves his punishment

The case you're working on...

Has the whole society at stake

I hope you understand

Guodong

Guodong, what are you doing?

He's needed for an investigation

no way, we've to avenge liang's murder

sorry, I can't do it. I'm an officer

it's the main reason
you joined the police force

that's the original plan

I didn't lie to you

but I can't do it now

I can't believe you, huang guodong

you won't understand, I can't do it

you can't do this

Shen yan

I've waited for 5 years

I'll never forget how liang guan died

I'm going to kill him

Why? Why?

I'm a cop

Recently you killed ruan xiang

no, I didn't kill him

someone saw you
throw his body out the car

speak up, last chance

il... didn't kill him

1 didn't

I didn't mean to kill liang guan that day

it was a robbery

he's a karate expert, I...

Tell the truth

your last chance

Will I get a lighter sentence?

Regarding this matter

I can't guarantee you anything

but on this case

you can be the prosecuting witness

the police can raise this point
to the court

They planned on killing me tonight

I should teach them a lesson

you see, I'm nothing but a small fry

sun zuozhong's the man
behind the operation

Ready

attention, surrender in two minutes

do you hear that?

Attention, surrender in two minutes

do you hear that?

Attention, surrender in two minutes

do you hear that?

Encircle

They've all fled

it's not my fault

no?

How long have you joined them?

Four years

you should know where they are

speak up

sun has a yacht

I've been on it twice

that's his headquarters

are you telling the truth?

Yes

go

Take him along, he knows which yacht

hurry

sun zuozhong killed su ling

he might have fled on his yacht

we'll need help of marine police
and a helicopter

Get the marine police

Boss, spare us

Boss

Inside

Is this the one?

Same yacht, different color

Go check

We are searching this yacht

This is the one?

You dare to sell me out, huh?
