My pistol.

That's serious.

Where did you lose it?

How should I know.

I almost caught the thief.

Did the thief take it?

No.

I hope not.

What are you doing?

Reporting to dispatch.

We won't find it in the dark.

Don't! It'll ruin my record.

We'll be in bigger trouble

if the thief has it.

I'm getting promoted. Buddy...

Report to dispatch. Let them follow up.

We may still be able to intercept the van.

Why did you kill him?

If I don't kill him,

he'll report on me.

You can't just take his gun,

it has a serial number.

Is this Regional Crime Unit?

I want to report seeing

an Indian with a gun

on Hung To Road.

Just take the gun, don't kill any more.

The more complicated the story,

the better for us.

Sir, are you okay?

What's the status?

We received an anonymous call today.

Someone saw an Indian

with a gun on the third floor.

Get everyone ready to move.

Yes, sir.

Action!

Looks like the lead is good.

Search around.

Yes, sir!

Where is your gun?

Where is your gun? Lost it!

Where is your gun?

Lost it...

Where is your gun?

Lost it!

Chi-wai killed Wong...

and took his gun.

The Indian found Chi-Wai's gun.

Chi-wai will kill the Indian

and take his gun back.

Where are you?

I'm on Wai Yip Street.

I'm on Hung To Road.

Turn on Hau Ming Street.

Have you seen a weak boy?

No.

Chi-wai will kill the boy.

I can see you.

I saw a boy. Where are you?

What are you talking about?

I'm right behind you.

You almost ran over me!

Give my badge and gun back!

What's going on?

What happened to you?

You got me into big trouble.

Don't be confused!

We've solved the case already.

I saw the masked man,

but I couldn't catch him.

Trust me.

It's Chi-wai.

He's responsible for everything.

No.

We received a call,

an Indian had a police gun.

It's a set up.

Chi-wai wants to complicate the case.

I saw the armored boxes,

the masks...

I'm scared.

I don't want to play anymore...

He has lost faith in you.

Return his gun and walk away.

Quiet!

I really regret asking you for help.

We can go and make the arrest together.

He's frightened.

Leave before he kills you!

Leave me alone!

I'm scared.

You're nuts.

Your wife is no longer with you.

You're seeing an illusion!

I saw your real wife at your home.

She's a police inspector.

Why don't you return his gun?

I can't let this go.

Do you have to continue the case?

Yes.

Madam.

Has Bun been here lately?

He was just here yesterday.

Call me if he comes again.

Okay.

Give me a coffee.

Sure.

Would you drink some wine?

Have you seen my wife?

Come with me.

Psychiatrist said you

haven't been checking up.

It's not my business.

But I still have sympathies.
