Fatal Termination (赤色大風暴)

The Philippines October 12, 1989

Aha, Inspector Dan!

As promised, it's all here.

I don't even trust my mother, how can I trust you?

But I can supply you with items your mom can't!

Of course, or I wouldn't have come.

I hope you can satisfy me.

One thousand guns, two thousand rounds of bullets,

three hundred Mossberg 870s, and five hundred AR-15s.

Okay.

-This will cost a lot. What are the guns for? -It's none of your business.

-Any issues with freight? -No, what else do you need?

Five hundred extra guns in boxes.

Hmm, five hundred extra guns with bullets, add freight...

A total of 3.4 million US.

I know it's expensive,

but these arms are restricted and we need to use bribery when crossing the border.

I hope you understand.

It's a deal.

Good cooperation!

- I still need one more thing. -What thing?

A softball.

A softball? A softball's too difficult. I can't get that.

I can pay more.

It's not about the price, I'm afraid of informers.

If I"m found out, they'll kill me for sure. You know that.

You can't refuse me. I want it now!

If I don't get it, you're dead!

Hong Kong October 18, 1989

I'll do the job for you.

-Mr. Ko, what did you need so urgently? -Officer Wai, I need your help.

In what way?

Officer Wai, you'll get your money. Nine o'clock at the Wing Hing warehouse.

Okay, we'll talk then.

Officer Wai, you're punctual.

This is the captain of a leftist Muslim civilian group.

Officer Wai is the Senior Superintendent of Customs at the Airport.

At one this afternoon, a JAL flight will travel from the Middle East to Manila.

It'll stop in Hong Kong on the way.

On the flight will be some weapons.

They belong to a rightist group who oppose my friend here.

They're packed like this. Look carefully.

The captain wants you to seize these weapons and then find a way to give them to us.

I'm afraid this won't be easy.

In my job, nobody tells me what to do.

Shoot straight, how much do you want?

Three million dollars. Cash, in advance.

Sure, you have my word.

-Officer Wai! -Officer Wai!

Are you ready?

All ready, sir.

And you?

No problem, sir!

Follow the plan. Be smart.

-Yes sir! -Yes sir!

Go.

Officer Wai cares a lot about this.

You get the crates out and I'll wait outside.

You know I can't be seen in your warehouse.

Try not to panic.

You know Officer Wai will take care of everything.

Do you know you're annoying?

I am?

Fly!

Be careful with her!

Fly!

Good girl, Yan Yan. We'll take you to school.

I'll get him for you.

Joey, your call!

Do you know what roses represent?

I know.

You get a red rose today.

Thank you, Mr. Lau. Thank you very much.

Cindy, get the newspaper of the day before yesterday.

All the newspapers are there, get them yourself.

The flower is pretty, I like it very much.

Jimmy! Lau!

-Coming. -Come in.

-Jimmy! -He wants you, give it back.

Yeah, yeah, I hear him. I'm going.

This Middle Eastern man is Dan.

He's a terrorist.

Based on information provided by INTERPOL, he bought weapons while in the Philippines

He and the weapons will be on a JAL flight today traveling back to the Middle East via Hong Kong.

INTERPOL want us to investigate him.

-Jimmy, you handle it. -Yes, sir.

-Mr. Lau, assist him. -Yes.

Sir!

-I'll bring my own men. -Hey!

-What do you mean by that? -Oh!

My men are used to following me. So either you, or I will lead the case.

Don't argue.

Jimmy, you'll follow the orders I just gave you, okay?

Yes, sir.

Kai Tak International Airport 1:00 PM

Now listen, security believes there's a bomb on the plane.

The weapons are already in position.

Fine.

Get ready to switch the crates.

Remember to be careful.

Okay.

That's all.

Sir, this is Officer Li of Police Division.

-You can go. -Yes, sir!

Sit down.

Officer Wai, we've heard that a passenger called Dan is smuggling weapons.

I want to check him out.

No problem, but I want to see a warrant.

I'm sorry, but we're in a hurry. Please do me this favor.

Officer Li, this doesn't comply with the rules.

I know, but rules are just rules.

We created these rules to ensure they're obeyed.

You and I are officers.

It's our duty to work according to the rules.

Yes, but following the rules will slow us down.

Sorry, Officer Li. I can't help you.

Not necessarily, you can detain the weapons while I get a warrant.

According to international safety regulations for freight, this is only a temporary transfer.

Thus, we have no right to detain them.

If you don't have enough proof to show there are weapons on board,

I won't use my power to alter the normal procedure of the airport.

What if you get someone to check the crate first?

This has nothing to do with me

Okay, sorry to bother you.

Don't move!

Don't be so nervous.

Don't shoot! I want him alive!

-It'll be bad if he gets away! -Look out for civilians!

Get down, everyone!

Go over there!

Get down!

Run!

Crouch and run!

Are you crazy? I can't charge him if you kill him!

Don't you see him shooting like a nut? Many are dead now.

Step aside! Step aside!

Step aside!

They're shooting at everyone!

Don't move!

-Don't move! -Don't move!

Police Division!

Get him!

No, he's part of a trafficking ring!

I need him alive!

Fire!

He's injured, hold your fire!

Keep shooting!

Fuck!

Bastards!

Come on! Come on!

Come on! Come on!

Shit!

I don't care what you were doing, you made this place a battlefield! I want a report at once!

Shit!

Who's there?

Don't run'!

Go die!

Don't run'!

Don't let him go!

Stop!

What is it?

He's opening crates!

Who are you? What are you doing?

Police Division.

Do you have a search warrant?

No, but let me ask you,

are you responsible for this cargo?

You dare come in here without a warrant and question me?

Something's wrong with this cargo, you can't load it!

And now you're ordering me?

Cuff him!

Sir, his bail has been paid and all departments have been informed.

Go out first.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

Jimmy, you must explain everything to me.

We have special privileges, but you're abusing your power and being careless!

If I didn't investigate, we'd never know that the weapons were swapped for toys. We wouldn't know the truth!

I appreciate your initiative, but I don't like the way you work!

Mr. Lau, come in.

Sir, you called?

The 'weapons' case is getting complicated, so I need you to assist him.

Sir, our pairing will only make it worse.

You know we have totally different ways of working.

That's why I want you to assist him.

I see, sir. But think of the consequences.

Sir, I know this case. If he helps me, he'll mess it up.

I'd better solve it myself.

I want it to go smoothly.

But this was only an accident.

I hope you two can cooperate

and solve this case as soon as possible, okay?

Uh, Sir. Then...

Wait!

The weapons were replaced with toys, so the culprit must be familiar with customs procedures.

Officer Wai, explain this!

What do you mean? You suspect us?

Not suspect, we only...

Not suspect, we're sure!

We customs workers have always been law-abiding and self-respecting!
