Fury In the Shadows (2026) Movie Script
[This story is purely fictitious.]
[Bank]
Time to work.
I'm Bowen, a detective here.
What are you doing here?
Hi, sir.
We're vendors from Yutuo,
doing some business here.
Is there anyone else in the car?
Yes. Yes.
Let them get down.
Are you all Chinese?
Here to do business?
Things have been a bit unstable
in Harman City lately.
What's in the trunk?
Just some clothes and stuff.
It's nothing, officer.
Open it up for me to see.
Open it up.
[Closed]
Hi, boss.
Hi, Officer Kumar.
How come
you're earlier than Officer Bowen today?
Hasn't he arrived yet?
Not yet.
Biangbiang Noodles?
Yes, same as usual.
Don't move!
Everyone, get down!
Unlock it.
Relax.
Don't be nervous.
Spit it out.
The key...
The key is in the drawer.
Are you messing with me?
Hurry up!
Unlock it!
Get the money in the bag!
Hurry up!
Hello?
This is Harman Police Station.
You wanna be a hero?
Hello?
Speak.
Hello?
This is Harman Police Station.
What can I do for you?
Tell her!
Harman...
Bank...
There-is
a
Robbery...
Put the gun down!
Brother Li, get in.
Let's go!
Hurry, get in the car.
I'll take you down!
It's the police!
Go, fast!
Mu!
Let's go!
Professor.
Go, quick!
Go!
Professor,
we've hit the jackpot!
Call an ambulance!
Call an ambulance!
Sol, go after them!
Got it.
We're rich! We're rich now!
Chen!
Chen!
I'll go and fight them to death!
Brother Li.
Brother Li.
I can't make it...
I can't go with you guys.
Leave me and get out of here.
Move!
Retreat!
What happened?
What's going on here?
What happened?
Stop Bus No. 12!
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Is it big?
Not bad.
Not bad?
Hey! He's harassing me!
You pervert!
You pervert!
You pervert!
A pervert! A pervert!
Harassment! He's assaulting me!
You pervert!
Stop yelling.
You're a stinky man!
You caught me.
Sit down!
What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?
Stop looking!
You...
I wasn't talking about you, was I?
I mean, you...
You're still...
You're still staring?
Why are you staring at me?
Don't you know me?
I'm the driving king of Harman.
Listen,
don't get yourself into trouble.
You hear me?
Excuse me, Driver!
Stop the car!
I need to use the bathroom.
I want to get off.
I have to...
Stop the car.
I can't. We're not at a stop.
I told you to stop. Didn't you hear me?
Help! Help!
Is anyone here?
Help!
Help me!
Help!
Officers, help!
Help!
It's going to explode.
I didn't do anything,
but I was beaten up like this.
I did nothing
but they beat me up like this.
Take him back for questioning.
These people are lawless!
They are heinous criminals!
Xiao Ting,
notify the traffic police
to lock down the entire city,
especially the northwest highway
to prevent them from escaping.
Yes, sir.
Sol.
Follow me to the Harman Station.
Okay.
Here's your ticket.
Three tickets to Wujiang.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Brother Li.
The fastest coach
departs in 20 minutes.
Dear passengers,
due to special circumstances,
all departures this afternoon
are suspended until further notice.
We apologize
for any inconvenience this may cause.
Brother Li, what should we do?
It's fate.
Looks like even heaven
doesn't want us to leave.
Excuse me,
when did the station suspend operations?
Ten minutes ago.
Thank you.
Hello.
Captain,
we found Officer Bowen's body
in an alley near the scene.
Captain,
we found this in Officer Bowen's hand.
The newspaper in my hand
is the Yutuo Evening News
from February 28, 2001.
It matches the one
in Bowen's hand.
From the Yutuo Police,
we got the news that
on February 27,
there was also a bank robbery
in Yutuo City.
The modus operandi
is largely consistent with ours.
I can conclude that these two groups
are the same perpetrators.
After committing the crime in Yutuo City,
they fled to our Harman City
to continue their crimes.
Around 7 a.m. on February 28,
they robbed
the Harman Development Bank.
Our fastest support at the time
came from the northeast
and southeast.
Along the way,
we didn't find any suspicious vehicles.
After the robbery,
if the robbers wanted to escape,
they could only leave through
the North City
and West City checkpoints.
But we sealed off
these two checkpoints
immediately.
Thus, I can conclude
that these people
should still be in this city.
Now, we need to cross-reference
vehicle information from Yutuo City
with passenger ticket information
from the Harman Bus Station.
Any overlaps
are likely the robbers.
Xiao Ting.
Find a way
to draw up a sketch of the robbers.
Yes, sir.
Sol,
has the hooligan we caught
confessed anything?
Yes, he confessed everything.
He has no connection to those robbers...
He's just a victim.
Let him go.
Okay.
Let's go.
Since you've come to Harman City,
I'll play along with you.
Liang.
Take the money
for Chen's family compensation.
If it's not enough,
I'll think of another way.
Bro.
I think
since heaven wants us to stay,
we should pull off another job.
We've tipped them off.
It's not that easy
to rob again now.
I guess all the ways out of the city
have been blocked by the police.
Let's go find Yan first
and ask him to find us a place to lay low.
When did Yan get out of prison?
He was released earlier.
I heard
he opened a nightclub.
But can we trust someone
whom we haven't contacted
in 5 or 6 years, Brother Li?
Introducing Huang Su!
Let's get hyped!
Come on, everyone.
Everyone, get hyped!
Bro,
it's your wife.
Should we call her over?
Ms Huang.
Our boss, Mr. Karm,
would like to invite you over for a drink.
Tell Mr. Karm
I'm not feeling well today.
I'll drink with him another day.
Why are you leaving?
Our boss said
you must drink with him tonight.
This way, please.
Boss Karm.
Here's a toast to you.
I'm not feeling well today.
I'll drink properly with you another time.
Miss Huang.
Do me a favor.
Sit with me for a while.
Huang Su.
What's wrong with you today?
Let go of me!
Huang Su.
You're just a singer-for-hire.
Don't act superior.
Don't push it.
That's got some bite.
I like it.
Sit down!
Boss Karm.
I can drink with you,
but I won't sell myself.
Then what are you selling?
Isn't it all about money?
Is this enough?
Is this enough?
Kill him!
Stop!
Who dares make trouble here?
Boss Karm it's you.
These are my friends from afar.
We all know each other.
You just wanted a drink with Su, right?
Another day...
My treat.
I'll invite Brother Li and Su,
and we'll drink properly together.
For today,
let me
apologize to you.
Apologize?
If apologies work,
why would I need a gun?
Yan, are you backing him?
If you do,
you can forget about running this place.
Boss Karm.
Allow me
to apologize.
I'll down
this bottle.
Who do you think you are?
One drink and it's over?
It's fake.
Just a lighter.
Did I scare you?
It's just a lighter.
This is lame.
I'm done.
I have a real gun.
Try it.
A real gun?
Go on.
Shoot me.
Shoot me!
Kill me!
Brother Li!
Do me a favor.
Do me a favor.
Please.
Let's not take this too far.
Okay?
Here.
Right.
Yan.
I'll let it go this time for your sake.
Maybe keep
this place classier.
Don't let just any bumpkin
walk in.
Huang Su.
Wait for me.
Sooner or later, you're mine.
I'm gonna sleep with you.
Let's go.
Tan Li.
Yan's working hard
to keep this place going.
Don't make trouble for him.
East wind.
I win!
You win again.
Here's your money.
Ms. Huang.
Honey?
Honey.
Why are you back so early today?
Is the child asleep?
Yes.
A while ago.
He's back.
Go out for a few days.
Su.
This is also my home.
Don't you think
that's a bit much?
Get lost.
Okay.
Okay.
Brother Li, roads out are sealed,
but there's a small road off the highway.
We can try it.
Captain.
These sketches were drawn
based on witness descriptions.
Send them out.
Deploy all units...
Comb Harman City thoroughly.
Yes.
Let's see how long you can last.
Brother.
I've checked him out.
His name is Karm.
He's a real estate developer.
Before we leave,
should we eliminate him?
Hello?
Is anyone there?
I'm An Bu'en.
Yan introduced me.
He told me you need a capable driver.
Brothers.
I took a wrong turn.
So you're the "Harman driving legend"?
That's a bit exaggerated.
Take this money.
Let bygones
be bygones.
Great.
We're square now.
We're even.
You've got a sharp eye for talent.
I'm telling you.
You chose the right man.
Got the guts to do
something illegal?
I'm good at that.
I've been doing it
since I was a kid.
Petty theft,
messing with decent women...
Nothing I can't handle.
Brother.
Brother.
Whoever you've got your eye on,
just tell me.
I'll handle it for you.
I promise you'll have first shot.
How's that?
Brother.
Or maybe you go first?
You go first.
Brother Li.
This guy's
not reliable.
[Bathroom]
Brother Mu.
How much can we make
from this job?
A lot more money than
you could spend in a lifetime.
That much?
I'm gonna be rich!
I should've teamed up with you sooner.
Why are we here?
To kill.
Brother Mu.
Ki
kill?
I've never done that.
Besides,
this place
is not suitable for killing.
Let's find
somewhere quiet
before we do that.
Didn't you say you'd do anything?
You know who we are.
If you want to make money,
you've got to earn our trust.
Right?
Brother Mu.
You are my father from now on.
I may not have experience killing,
but I keep my mouth shut.
I won't tell anyone.
Dad.
Son.
If you don't have the guts to kill,
I'll kill you right here.
Hey!
Don't.
Dad.
Even a tiger spares its cubs.
I'll go.
I'll go with you, okay?
Call me that again.
Dad.
Good.
Who is it?
Who are you?
I came to the wrong place.
Someone's been killed!
Call an ambulance!
Call an am...
Kill him.
Brother Mu, I
Kill him!
No. No.
Brother Li.
Mu.
Why did you beat him like this?
This bastard
is a coward.
He can't even kill properly.
He's useless anyway.
Just kill him.
Kill him?
You want more trouble?
Treat his wound.
Brother.
He's just a burden.
We must kill him.
Mu.
We all have blood
on our hands.
Any of us could die at any time.
Since you chose to follow me,
you have to obey me.
That's how I keep you alive.
Why did you hurt An Bu'en
without my permission?
Brother.
I was wrong.
Captain Ma.
What happened?
The victim died from
a stab wound to the abdomen,
losing too much blood.
Both massage girls
were present the entire time.
According to them,
the killers are two men.
One has short blond hair
and a scarred face.
The other
has a pointed, monkey-like face
and shifty eyes.
Hello.
Is this the guy?
That's him!
Brother Li gave it to you.
Stay here and heal up.
Thank you, Brother Han.
Coward.
Just stay here.
Based on the clues,
we've created a profile
of the second suspect
in Karm's murder case.
Our investigation revealed
that his name is An Bu'en,
a local of Harman City
and currently an unlicensed taxi driver.
Coincidentally,
on the morning of the 30th,
the same day as the Harman bank robbery,
he was the one on the bus
who was abducted by the robbers
and had the smoke bomb placed.
This man
is a compulsive gambler.
He had to pawn his car to pay off debts,
and recently he redeemed it.
But he disappeared again
in the past few days.
We reached out to people close to him,
but no one can get in touch.
More coincidentally,
he had also appeared
at Yan's nightclub before Karm's death.
That's interesting.
One is An Bu'en,
the beaten-up unlicensed taxi driver.
The other is Karm,
the real estate developer
who was stabbed to death.
Both of them
are connected to the Finney Nightclub.
I never realized
there was so much behind this place.
Xiao Ting.
Keep
investigating An Bu'en.
Find him as soon as possible.
Once he's found,
don't rush to arrest him.
Yes.
Brother, sit here.
Come, brother. Sit here.
Brother.
Just a moment.
The drinks will be here soon.
You two look unfamiliar.
First time here?
We used to come here often with Boss Karm.
Hasn't he been here lately?
You haven't heard?
Something happened to him.
What happened?
Enjoy.
He was rich,
but he always took advantage of us girls.
Not long ago, he harassed Huang Su.
Luckily her friend was there.
Otherwise, who knows
what could have happened.
Really?
Is that Miss Huang Su?
The one with red hair.
Officers.
You want to ask me about Karm, right?
Then let's get straight to it.
When you had a dispute with Karm,
someone stepped in for you.
Mr. Yan said he's your relative.
We want to know
more about this relative.
We're not really relatives.
We hadn't seen each other in ages.
That day, we just happened
to meet at the club
and had a few drinks.
But I heard
he's not around anymore.
I think he's already left town.
We haven't been in touch since.
Here.
Take a look.
Are these them?
No.
Are you sure?
Pretty sure.
Officers,
if there's nothing else,
I'll head back now.
My child is waiting at home.
Thank you for your cooperation.
That's all.
This Huang Su...
She denies they're friends
and denies they're relatives.
So what is he to her?
She kept emphasizing that
he's already out of town.
Something's off about her.
She's lying.
Got it.
The police
have traced Karm's death to Yan.
I want to pull another job.
Are you crazy?
Things are way too hot right now.
The police are all over this.
If we make a move now,
we're risking our lives.
Professor.
You need money too.
Chen needs money to settle down.
Huang Su has a child.
It's mine.
You really just hit it and quit it, huh?
Listen.
Either don't come back,
or
Stop messing around
and build a life with me.
I can divorce him.
We can be together.
Come on.
Aren't you doing just fine?
Fine my ass.
It's all for raising my child.
Mom.
I want to sleep with you.
Be good, Miao.
Go back to your room.
I'll come to you later.
Okay.
How about this?
Before you leave,
go recognize the child as yours.
How old is she?
Five years old.
You must be kidding.
She doesn't look like me at all.
My whole life
has really been ruined by you.
After pulling this job,
we're set for the rest of our lives.
Bro,
you saved my life.
I'll do
whatever you say.
Professor.
If we want to take this job,
we'll need to get some guns.
How can we afford guns?
Everyone.
Today is the Grand Opening Promotion
of Phoenix Gold Shop.
Phoenix Gold Shop
is located at the intersection
of Taikang Road,
where transportation
is well-developed all around.
The peak customer traffic
is at 12 p.m.
The security guards of the mall
change shifts at that exact time.
For every shift change,
they'll be absent for ten minutes.
Ten minutes
are enough for us.
Get down, all of you!
Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.
Get on the phone.
Call the police.
You are finally here.
These robbers
are so vicious!
They took all my gold!
How many of them came?
Two.
What time did they come?
Around 1 p.m.
Captain Kumar.
They must have escaped
by blending into the crowd.
But why was the gun left here?
They will surely come back to get the gun.
So I suggest
the mall remains open
for business tomorrow.
We'll make arrangements in secret
and wait for them
to come back for the gun.
They could have taken the gun,
but they left it here
and even called the police themselves.
If you were a robber,
would you do that?
Brother Li,
the package has arrived.
The deal is set for 4 a.m. tonight.
Brother Li.
It's me,
An Bu'en.
Open the door.
Brother Li.
Brother Li.
It's me.
Brother Li
Brother Mu.
How did you get out?
Didn't I tell you to rest
and recover these couple days?
Why are you out?
I really couldn't stay
in the room anymore.
You're looking for another beating?
Brother Mu,
I'm here to speak with Brother Li.
Brother Li.
I saw on the news
that there was a robbery
at Phoenix Gold Shop.
Why didn't you
let me in on such a good job?
You must
have grabbed a lot of jewelry,
haven't you?
Brother Li.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm afraid you'll leave me out.
I've got blood on my hands.
You have to take me with you.
Tonight,
you've got another deal, haven't you?
Brother Li! Brother Li!
I've got a card game
with some friends today.
If I don't show up,
they will come look for me.
Brother Li!
How dare you threaten us!
Brother Li! Help! Brother Li!
Mu!
Brother Li! Help!
Brother Li!
I won't do it again.
I knew it.
Brother Li will treat me well.
I'm following you all
to make a fortune, brothers.
Brother Li.
If there's nothing else,
I'm leaving.
Brother Han.
Brother Mu.
Bro.
I'm going to kill him now!
Forget it.
Don't create more trouble.
After the last job tomorrow,
we'll leave immediately.
Captain.
We've got news on An Bu'en.
We found him
in a mahjong parlor.
This is his gambling money.
You see this?
What's this?
Gold.
I have no money.
I'm betting my gold.
It's been confirmed.
It's part of the jewelry
stolen by the robbers
from the Phoenix Gold Shop.
Mahjong parlor?
In that case,
there appears to be
a link between An Bu'en
and the robbers.
Yan.
Huang Su.
Karm.
An Bu'en.
And the robbers.
They should be in the same network.
Let's make an assumption.
On the day when Karm and Huang Su
had an argument,
Huang Su's friends,
that is, the robbers,
stood up for Huang Su
and killed Karm.
In that case,
the robbers and Huang Su
have a deep connection.
Judging from Yan's reaction,
he seems to know about their relationship.
Let's make another assumption.
In the One Thirty Robbery,
the robbers' driver got killed.
Yan introduced another driver to them.
And the driver turned out to be
An Bu'en.
Sol.
Send some people to keep an eye
on Yan, Huang Su and An Bu'en 24/7.
Especially An Bu'en.
If he
makes any suspicious moves,
bring him in immediately.
Yes, Sir.
Xiao Ting.
Give me a full log of An Bu'en's movement.
Here are all the movements of An Bu'en
in the past two days.
The ankle
is where the foot meets the leg.
You're so smart.
What is this?
Fluke.
The meaning
of "fluke" is
For example, you ate snacks
secretly today,
but I didn't notice.
This is a fluke.
Oh.
Understand?
[My guys saw that the cops
are targeting An Bu'en]
[You still have other actions? Take
the warning. Get out clean. Stop the job]
Mu.
You and Professor
go pick up the package later.
An Bu'en has been targeted by the cops.
We can't keep him.
[Alarm]
Is this all you have?
Bro.
You see how it is now?
Cops are watching closely everywhere.
The stuff you want
isn't easy to get.
Brother Li.
Brother Li!
Captain, here it is.
Right ahead.
I'm rich!
I'm rich this time!
Anyone?
W-Who is it?
Registration personnel.
Coming.
You're still doing registration this late?
Sir.
Why are you here?
You live here?
My buddies and I,
we're all drivers.
We rent this place together.
Buddies.
Where are the others?
The others
went out to work.
When are they coming back?
I don't know
when they'll be back either.
How about this?
Give me their phone numbers.
I'll contact them.
Do you live here too?
An.
What's going on?
The officers are here.
Why don't you invite them in for tea?
Wait a second.
Have we met somewhere before?
Freeze!
Freeze!
Don't move!
Sir.
I didn't do anything.
I just drive unlicensed cars.
Cuff him!
Sir.
Really.
I I didn't do anything, Sir.
Captain Kumar!
Captain Kumar, wake up!
Kumar!
Kumar!
Ku...
How are you feeling?
Say something.
Say something!
He's a hell of a fighter.
Hurry, interrogate An Bu'en.
Sir.
I'll tell you everything.
I'm not with them!
Karm's death
has nothing to do with me.
Mu killed him.
Oh right,
I also heard they have
an arms deal tonight.
The middleman
is Yan.
Yan.
You've finally gone legit.
Think about what's best for you.
Give me a cigarette.
Go on.
I've worked with him before
but we hadn't been in touch
for a long time.
This time, when he came back,
he looked for me.
I found him a driver.
And what's the deal with you buying guns?
I used to
run with the underworld.
It was inevitable
that I'd know some shady friends.
I just asked around for him.
What's the relationship
between Huang Su and Tan Li?
Huang Su is his woman.
But Huang Su
has never been involved
in any of his business.
I don't know where Tan Li
has been these past few years.
He left Huang Su and her child behind.
In order to survive,
Huang Su had no choice
but to come to my nightclub.
What's Tan Li planning next?
I don't know.
I only know
he'll pull another job tomorrow.
Missing your daughter again?
After we finish this job,
you can go back to see her.
Can we still go back?
Don't worry.
I believe Brother Li
will take us back.
Su.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
So I came to see you.
I got divorced.
[Divorce Agreement]
Keep the jewelry.
Sign it.
Take me and the child with you.
Tomorrow afternoon.
I'll wait for you at South City Pier.
Bro.
Life and death are predestined.
Riches and honor are heaven's will.
Tomorrow,
it's nine chances of death
and one of survival.
Choose for yourself.
[How's the money for our daughter's surgery? If it's not settled
tomorrow, the hospital can't reserve the kidney donor for her.]
If Tan Li and his men strike again,
they will choose one of these five banks.
After so many hits lately,
they can't have had enough time
to make a thorough plan.
If I were Tan Li,
I'd start with a place I'm familiar with.
So I think
they'll keep robbing
Harman Development Bank.
Their real target is
the largest bank in Harman City,
Di Du Bank.
Judging from this map,
after the alarm was triggered,
our response routes
to Phoenix Gold Shop
and Di Du Bank
are the same.
So I guess
robbing the gold shop
was a rehearsal
for robbing Di Du Bank.
Harman is not big.
The five major banks aren't far apart.
We'll concentrate all forces
at Di Du Bank,
and deploy a unit
on Linbang Street.
This way,
if any bank is hit,
the nearest unit
can respond immediately.
Captain Kumar.
Do you think they will really rob
Di Du Bank?
[Di Du Bank]
Why is it all blank paper?
Brother Li,
it's a trap! Run!
Retreat!
Sol, I'll leave this to you.
Yes sir.
Captain!
Xiao Ting.
Xiao Ting, hang on. Xiao Ting!
Xiao Ting is injured.
Call an ambulance!
At Haman City Agricultural Market. Hurry!
Liang!
Leave if you can!
I'll cover you!
Where can I go?
I told Brother Li not to do this.
What about my daughter?
What the hell are you saying?
We chose our own path.
Coward!
I'm fighting you to the death!
Come on!
You're surrounded!
Drop your weapons and surrender!
Go.
Why are you so stubborn,
hanging on to us like this?
What's the point of this suffering?
I...
am
a cop.
I'm a cop.
[Tan Li was sentenced to death for the combined crimes of robbery and intentional
homicide.] [Huang Su was sentenced to two years in prison for the crime of shielding.]
[Bowen]
[Bank]
Time to work.
I'm Bowen, a detective here.
What are you doing here?
Hi, sir.
We're vendors from Yutuo,
doing some business here.
Is there anyone else in the car?
Yes. Yes.
Let them get down.
Are you all Chinese?
Here to do business?
Things have been a bit unstable
in Harman City lately.
What's in the trunk?
Just some clothes and stuff.
It's nothing, officer.
Open it up for me to see.
Open it up.
[Closed]
Hi, boss.
Hi, Officer Kumar.
How come
you're earlier than Officer Bowen today?
Hasn't he arrived yet?
Not yet.
Biangbiang Noodles?
Yes, same as usual.
Don't move!
Everyone, get down!
Unlock it.
Relax.
Don't be nervous.
Spit it out.
The key...
The key is in the drawer.
Are you messing with me?
Hurry up!
Unlock it!
Get the money in the bag!
Hurry up!
Hello?
This is Harman Police Station.
You wanna be a hero?
Hello?
Speak.
Hello?
This is Harman Police Station.
What can I do for you?
Tell her!
Harman...
Bank...
There-is
a
Robbery...
Put the gun down!
Brother Li, get in.
Let's go!
Hurry, get in the car.
I'll take you down!
It's the police!
Go, fast!
Mu!
Let's go!
Professor.
Go, quick!
Go!
Professor,
we've hit the jackpot!
Call an ambulance!
Call an ambulance!
Sol, go after them!
Got it.
We're rich! We're rich now!
Chen!
Chen!
I'll go and fight them to death!
Brother Li.
Brother Li.
I can't make it...
I can't go with you guys.
Leave me and get out of here.
Move!
Retreat!
What happened?
What's going on here?
What happened?
Stop Bus No. 12!
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
Is it big?
Not bad.
Not bad?
Hey! He's harassing me!
You pervert!
You pervert!
You pervert!
A pervert! A pervert!
Harassment! He's assaulting me!
You pervert!
Stop yelling.
You're a stinky man!
You caught me.
Sit down!
What are you looking at?
What are you looking at?
Stop looking!
You...
I wasn't talking about you, was I?
I mean, you...
You're still...
You're still staring?
Why are you staring at me?
Don't you know me?
I'm the driving king of Harman.
Listen,
don't get yourself into trouble.
You hear me?
Excuse me, Driver!
Stop the car!
I need to use the bathroom.
I want to get off.
I have to...
Stop the car.
I can't. We're not at a stop.
I told you to stop. Didn't you hear me?
Help! Help!
Is anyone here?
Help!
Help me!
Help!
Officers, help!
Help!
It's going to explode.
I didn't do anything,
but I was beaten up like this.
I did nothing
but they beat me up like this.
Take him back for questioning.
These people are lawless!
They are heinous criminals!
Xiao Ting,
notify the traffic police
to lock down the entire city,
especially the northwest highway
to prevent them from escaping.
Yes, sir.
Sol.
Follow me to the Harman Station.
Okay.
Here's your ticket.
Three tickets to Wujiang.
Here you are.
Thank you.
Brother Li.
The fastest coach
departs in 20 minutes.
Dear passengers,
due to special circumstances,
all departures this afternoon
are suspended until further notice.
We apologize
for any inconvenience this may cause.
Brother Li, what should we do?
It's fate.
Looks like even heaven
doesn't want us to leave.
Excuse me,
when did the station suspend operations?
Ten minutes ago.
Thank you.
Hello.
Captain,
we found Officer Bowen's body
in an alley near the scene.
Captain,
we found this in Officer Bowen's hand.
The newspaper in my hand
is the Yutuo Evening News
from February 28, 2001.
It matches the one
in Bowen's hand.
From the Yutuo Police,
we got the news that
on February 27,
there was also a bank robbery
in Yutuo City.
The modus operandi
is largely consistent with ours.
I can conclude that these two groups
are the same perpetrators.
After committing the crime in Yutuo City,
they fled to our Harman City
to continue their crimes.
Around 7 a.m. on February 28,
they robbed
the Harman Development Bank.
Our fastest support at the time
came from the northeast
and southeast.
Along the way,
we didn't find any suspicious vehicles.
After the robbery,
if the robbers wanted to escape,
they could only leave through
the North City
and West City checkpoints.
But we sealed off
these two checkpoints
immediately.
Thus, I can conclude
that these people
should still be in this city.
Now, we need to cross-reference
vehicle information from Yutuo City
with passenger ticket information
from the Harman Bus Station.
Any overlaps
are likely the robbers.
Xiao Ting.
Find a way
to draw up a sketch of the robbers.
Yes, sir.
Sol,
has the hooligan we caught
confessed anything?
Yes, he confessed everything.
He has no connection to those robbers...
He's just a victim.
Let him go.
Okay.
Let's go.
Since you've come to Harman City,
I'll play along with you.
Liang.
Take the money
for Chen's family compensation.
If it's not enough,
I'll think of another way.
Bro.
I think
since heaven wants us to stay,
we should pull off another job.
We've tipped them off.
It's not that easy
to rob again now.
I guess all the ways out of the city
have been blocked by the police.
Let's go find Yan first
and ask him to find us a place to lay low.
When did Yan get out of prison?
He was released earlier.
I heard
he opened a nightclub.
But can we trust someone
whom we haven't contacted
in 5 or 6 years, Brother Li?
Introducing Huang Su!
Let's get hyped!
Come on, everyone.
Everyone, get hyped!
Bro,
it's your wife.
Should we call her over?
Ms Huang.
Our boss, Mr. Karm,
would like to invite you over for a drink.
Tell Mr. Karm
I'm not feeling well today.
I'll drink with him another day.
Why are you leaving?
Our boss said
you must drink with him tonight.
This way, please.
Boss Karm.
Here's a toast to you.
I'm not feeling well today.
I'll drink properly with you another time.
Miss Huang.
Do me a favor.
Sit with me for a while.
Huang Su.
What's wrong with you today?
Let go of me!
Huang Su.
You're just a singer-for-hire.
Don't act superior.
Don't push it.
That's got some bite.
I like it.
Sit down!
Boss Karm.
I can drink with you,
but I won't sell myself.
Then what are you selling?
Isn't it all about money?
Is this enough?
Is this enough?
Kill him!
Stop!
Who dares make trouble here?
Boss Karm it's you.
These are my friends from afar.
We all know each other.
You just wanted a drink with Su, right?
Another day...
My treat.
I'll invite Brother Li and Su,
and we'll drink properly together.
For today,
let me
apologize to you.
Apologize?
If apologies work,
why would I need a gun?
Yan, are you backing him?
If you do,
you can forget about running this place.
Boss Karm.
Allow me
to apologize.
I'll down
this bottle.
Who do you think you are?
One drink and it's over?
It's fake.
Just a lighter.
Did I scare you?
It's just a lighter.
This is lame.
I'm done.
I have a real gun.
Try it.
A real gun?
Go on.
Shoot me.
Shoot me!
Kill me!
Brother Li!
Do me a favor.
Do me a favor.
Please.
Let's not take this too far.
Okay?
Here.
Right.
Yan.
I'll let it go this time for your sake.
Maybe keep
this place classier.
Don't let just any bumpkin
walk in.
Huang Su.
Wait for me.
Sooner or later, you're mine.
I'm gonna sleep with you.
Let's go.
Tan Li.
Yan's working hard
to keep this place going.
Don't make trouble for him.
East wind.
I win!
You win again.
Here's your money.
Ms. Huang.
Honey?
Honey.
Why are you back so early today?
Is the child asleep?
Yes.
A while ago.
He's back.
Go out for a few days.
Su.
This is also my home.
Don't you think
that's a bit much?
Get lost.
Okay.
Okay.
Brother Li, roads out are sealed,
but there's a small road off the highway.
We can try it.
Captain.
These sketches were drawn
based on witness descriptions.
Send them out.
Deploy all units...
Comb Harman City thoroughly.
Yes.
Let's see how long you can last.
Brother.
I've checked him out.
His name is Karm.
He's a real estate developer.
Before we leave,
should we eliminate him?
Hello?
Is anyone there?
I'm An Bu'en.
Yan introduced me.
He told me you need a capable driver.
Brothers.
I took a wrong turn.
So you're the "Harman driving legend"?
That's a bit exaggerated.
Take this money.
Let bygones
be bygones.
Great.
We're square now.
We're even.
You've got a sharp eye for talent.
I'm telling you.
You chose the right man.
Got the guts to do
something illegal?
I'm good at that.
I've been doing it
since I was a kid.
Petty theft,
messing with decent women...
Nothing I can't handle.
Brother.
Brother.
Whoever you've got your eye on,
just tell me.
I'll handle it for you.
I promise you'll have first shot.
How's that?
Brother.
Or maybe you go first?
You go first.
Brother Li.
This guy's
not reliable.
[Bathroom]
Brother Mu.
How much can we make
from this job?
A lot more money than
you could spend in a lifetime.
That much?
I'm gonna be rich!
I should've teamed up with you sooner.
Why are we here?
To kill.
Brother Mu.
Ki
kill?
I've never done that.
Besides,
this place
is not suitable for killing.
Let's find
somewhere quiet
before we do that.
Didn't you say you'd do anything?
You know who we are.
If you want to make money,
you've got to earn our trust.
Right?
Brother Mu.
You are my father from now on.
I may not have experience killing,
but I keep my mouth shut.
I won't tell anyone.
Dad.
Son.
If you don't have the guts to kill,
I'll kill you right here.
Hey!
Don't.
Dad.
Even a tiger spares its cubs.
I'll go.
I'll go with you, okay?
Call me that again.
Dad.
Good.
Who is it?
Who are you?
I came to the wrong place.
Someone's been killed!
Call an ambulance!
Call an am...
Kill him.
Brother Mu, I
Kill him!
No. No.
Brother Li.
Mu.
Why did you beat him like this?
This bastard
is a coward.
He can't even kill properly.
He's useless anyway.
Just kill him.
Kill him?
You want more trouble?
Treat his wound.
Brother.
He's just a burden.
We must kill him.
Mu.
We all have blood
on our hands.
Any of us could die at any time.
Since you chose to follow me,
you have to obey me.
That's how I keep you alive.
Why did you hurt An Bu'en
without my permission?
Brother.
I was wrong.
Captain Ma.
What happened?
The victim died from
a stab wound to the abdomen,
losing too much blood.
Both massage girls
were present the entire time.
According to them,
the killers are two men.
One has short blond hair
and a scarred face.
The other
has a pointed, monkey-like face
and shifty eyes.
Hello.
Is this the guy?
That's him!
Brother Li gave it to you.
Stay here and heal up.
Thank you, Brother Han.
Coward.
Just stay here.
Based on the clues,
we've created a profile
of the second suspect
in Karm's murder case.
Our investigation revealed
that his name is An Bu'en,
a local of Harman City
and currently an unlicensed taxi driver.
Coincidentally,
on the morning of the 30th,
the same day as the Harman bank robbery,
he was the one on the bus
who was abducted by the robbers
and had the smoke bomb placed.
This man
is a compulsive gambler.
He had to pawn his car to pay off debts,
and recently he redeemed it.
But he disappeared again
in the past few days.
We reached out to people close to him,
but no one can get in touch.
More coincidentally,
he had also appeared
at Yan's nightclub before Karm's death.
That's interesting.
One is An Bu'en,
the beaten-up unlicensed taxi driver.
The other is Karm,
the real estate developer
who was stabbed to death.
Both of them
are connected to the Finney Nightclub.
I never realized
there was so much behind this place.
Xiao Ting.
Keep
investigating An Bu'en.
Find him as soon as possible.
Once he's found,
don't rush to arrest him.
Yes.
Brother, sit here.
Come, brother. Sit here.
Brother.
Just a moment.
The drinks will be here soon.
You two look unfamiliar.
First time here?
We used to come here often with Boss Karm.
Hasn't he been here lately?
You haven't heard?
Something happened to him.
What happened?
Enjoy.
He was rich,
but he always took advantage of us girls.
Not long ago, he harassed Huang Su.
Luckily her friend was there.
Otherwise, who knows
what could have happened.
Really?
Is that Miss Huang Su?
The one with red hair.
Officers.
You want to ask me about Karm, right?
Then let's get straight to it.
When you had a dispute with Karm,
someone stepped in for you.
Mr. Yan said he's your relative.
We want to know
more about this relative.
We're not really relatives.
We hadn't seen each other in ages.
That day, we just happened
to meet at the club
and had a few drinks.
But I heard
he's not around anymore.
I think he's already left town.
We haven't been in touch since.
Here.
Take a look.
Are these them?
No.
Are you sure?
Pretty sure.
Officers,
if there's nothing else,
I'll head back now.
My child is waiting at home.
Thank you for your cooperation.
That's all.
This Huang Su...
She denies they're friends
and denies they're relatives.
So what is he to her?
She kept emphasizing that
he's already out of town.
Something's off about her.
She's lying.
Got it.
The police
have traced Karm's death to Yan.
I want to pull another job.
Are you crazy?
Things are way too hot right now.
The police are all over this.
If we make a move now,
we're risking our lives.
Professor.
You need money too.
Chen needs money to settle down.
Huang Su has a child.
It's mine.
You really just hit it and quit it, huh?
Listen.
Either don't come back,
or
Stop messing around
and build a life with me.
I can divorce him.
We can be together.
Come on.
Aren't you doing just fine?
Fine my ass.
It's all for raising my child.
Mom.
I want to sleep with you.
Be good, Miao.
Go back to your room.
I'll come to you later.
Okay.
How about this?
Before you leave,
go recognize the child as yours.
How old is she?
Five years old.
You must be kidding.
She doesn't look like me at all.
My whole life
has really been ruined by you.
After pulling this job,
we're set for the rest of our lives.
Bro,
you saved my life.
I'll do
whatever you say.
Professor.
If we want to take this job,
we'll need to get some guns.
How can we afford guns?
Everyone.
Today is the Grand Opening Promotion
of Phoenix Gold Shop.
Phoenix Gold Shop
is located at the intersection
of Taikang Road,
where transportation
is well-developed all around.
The peak customer traffic
is at 12 p.m.
The security guards of the mall
change shifts at that exact time.
For every shift change,
they'll be absent for ten minutes.
Ten minutes
are enough for us.
Get down, all of you!
Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt.
Get on the phone.
Call the police.
You are finally here.
These robbers
are so vicious!
They took all my gold!
How many of them came?
Two.
What time did they come?
Around 1 p.m.
Captain Kumar.
They must have escaped
by blending into the crowd.
But why was the gun left here?
They will surely come back to get the gun.
So I suggest
the mall remains open
for business tomorrow.
We'll make arrangements in secret
and wait for them
to come back for the gun.
They could have taken the gun,
but they left it here
and even called the police themselves.
If you were a robber,
would you do that?
Brother Li,
the package has arrived.
The deal is set for 4 a.m. tonight.
Brother Li.
It's me,
An Bu'en.
Open the door.
Brother Li.
Brother Li.
It's me.
Brother Li
Brother Mu.
How did you get out?
Didn't I tell you to rest
and recover these couple days?
Why are you out?
I really couldn't stay
in the room anymore.
You're looking for another beating?
Brother Mu,
I'm here to speak with Brother Li.
Brother Li.
I saw on the news
that there was a robbery
at Phoenix Gold Shop.
Why didn't you
let me in on such a good job?
You must
have grabbed a lot of jewelry,
haven't you?
Brother Li.
Don't get me wrong.
I'm afraid you'll leave me out.
I've got blood on my hands.
You have to take me with you.
Tonight,
you've got another deal, haven't you?
Brother Li! Brother Li!
I've got a card game
with some friends today.
If I don't show up,
they will come look for me.
Brother Li!
How dare you threaten us!
Brother Li! Help! Brother Li!
Mu!
Brother Li! Help!
Brother Li!
I won't do it again.
I knew it.
Brother Li will treat me well.
I'm following you all
to make a fortune, brothers.
Brother Li.
If there's nothing else,
I'm leaving.
Brother Han.
Brother Mu.
Bro.
I'm going to kill him now!
Forget it.
Don't create more trouble.
After the last job tomorrow,
we'll leave immediately.
Captain.
We've got news on An Bu'en.
We found him
in a mahjong parlor.
This is his gambling money.
You see this?
What's this?
Gold.
I have no money.
I'm betting my gold.
It's been confirmed.
It's part of the jewelry
stolen by the robbers
from the Phoenix Gold Shop.
Mahjong parlor?
In that case,
there appears to be
a link between An Bu'en
and the robbers.
Yan.
Huang Su.
Karm.
An Bu'en.
And the robbers.
They should be in the same network.
Let's make an assumption.
On the day when Karm and Huang Su
had an argument,
Huang Su's friends,
that is, the robbers,
stood up for Huang Su
and killed Karm.
In that case,
the robbers and Huang Su
have a deep connection.
Judging from Yan's reaction,
he seems to know about their relationship.
Let's make another assumption.
In the One Thirty Robbery,
the robbers' driver got killed.
Yan introduced another driver to them.
And the driver turned out to be
An Bu'en.
Sol.
Send some people to keep an eye
on Yan, Huang Su and An Bu'en 24/7.
Especially An Bu'en.
If he
makes any suspicious moves,
bring him in immediately.
Yes, Sir.
Xiao Ting.
Give me a full log of An Bu'en's movement.
Here are all the movements of An Bu'en
in the past two days.
The ankle
is where the foot meets the leg.
You're so smart.
What is this?
Fluke.
The meaning
of "fluke" is
For example, you ate snacks
secretly today,
but I didn't notice.
This is a fluke.
Oh.
Understand?
[My guys saw that the cops
are targeting An Bu'en]
[You still have other actions? Take
the warning. Get out clean. Stop the job]
Mu.
You and Professor
go pick up the package later.
An Bu'en has been targeted by the cops.
We can't keep him.
[Alarm]
Is this all you have?
Bro.
You see how it is now?
Cops are watching closely everywhere.
The stuff you want
isn't easy to get.
Brother Li.
Brother Li!
Captain, here it is.
Right ahead.
I'm rich!
I'm rich this time!
Anyone?
W-Who is it?
Registration personnel.
Coming.
You're still doing registration this late?
Sir.
Why are you here?
You live here?
My buddies and I,
we're all drivers.
We rent this place together.
Buddies.
Where are the others?
The others
went out to work.
When are they coming back?
I don't know
when they'll be back either.
How about this?
Give me their phone numbers.
I'll contact them.
Do you live here too?
An.
What's going on?
The officers are here.
Why don't you invite them in for tea?
Wait a second.
Have we met somewhere before?
Freeze!
Freeze!
Don't move!
Sir.
I didn't do anything.
I just drive unlicensed cars.
Cuff him!
Sir.
Really.
I I didn't do anything, Sir.
Captain Kumar!
Captain Kumar, wake up!
Kumar!
Kumar!
Ku...
How are you feeling?
Say something.
Say something!
He's a hell of a fighter.
Hurry, interrogate An Bu'en.
Sir.
I'll tell you everything.
I'm not with them!
Karm's death
has nothing to do with me.
Mu killed him.
Oh right,
I also heard they have
an arms deal tonight.
The middleman
is Yan.
Yan.
You've finally gone legit.
Think about what's best for you.
Give me a cigarette.
Go on.
I've worked with him before
but we hadn't been in touch
for a long time.
This time, when he came back,
he looked for me.
I found him a driver.
And what's the deal with you buying guns?
I used to
run with the underworld.
It was inevitable
that I'd know some shady friends.
I just asked around for him.
What's the relationship
between Huang Su and Tan Li?
Huang Su is his woman.
But Huang Su
has never been involved
in any of his business.
I don't know where Tan Li
has been these past few years.
He left Huang Su and her child behind.
In order to survive,
Huang Su had no choice
but to come to my nightclub.
What's Tan Li planning next?
I don't know.
I only know
he'll pull another job tomorrow.
Missing your daughter again?
After we finish this job,
you can go back to see her.
Can we still go back?
Don't worry.
I believe Brother Li
will take us back.
Su.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
So I came to see you.
I got divorced.
[Divorce Agreement]
Keep the jewelry.
Sign it.
Take me and the child with you.
Tomorrow afternoon.
I'll wait for you at South City Pier.
Bro.
Life and death are predestined.
Riches and honor are heaven's will.
Tomorrow,
it's nine chances of death
and one of survival.
Choose for yourself.
[How's the money for our daughter's surgery? If it's not settled
tomorrow, the hospital can't reserve the kidney donor for her.]
If Tan Li and his men strike again,
they will choose one of these five banks.
After so many hits lately,
they can't have had enough time
to make a thorough plan.
If I were Tan Li,
I'd start with a place I'm familiar with.
So I think
they'll keep robbing
Harman Development Bank.
Their real target is
the largest bank in Harman City,
Di Du Bank.
Judging from this map,
after the alarm was triggered,
our response routes
to Phoenix Gold Shop
and Di Du Bank
are the same.
So I guess
robbing the gold shop
was a rehearsal
for robbing Di Du Bank.
Harman is not big.
The five major banks aren't far apart.
We'll concentrate all forces
at Di Du Bank,
and deploy a unit
on Linbang Street.
This way,
if any bank is hit,
the nearest unit
can respond immediately.
Captain Kumar.
Do you think they will really rob
Di Du Bank?
[Di Du Bank]
Why is it all blank paper?
Brother Li,
it's a trap! Run!
Retreat!
Sol, I'll leave this to you.
Yes sir.
Captain!
Xiao Ting.
Xiao Ting, hang on. Xiao Ting!
Xiao Ting is injured.
Call an ambulance!
At Haman City Agricultural Market. Hurry!
Liang!
Leave if you can!
I'll cover you!
Where can I go?
I told Brother Li not to do this.
What about my daughter?
What the hell are you saying?
We chose our own path.
Coward!
I'm fighting you to the death!
Come on!
You're surrounded!
Drop your weapons and surrender!
Go.
Why are you so stubborn,
hanging on to us like this?
What's the point of this suffering?
I...
am
a cop.
I'm a cop.
[Tan Li was sentenced to death for the combined crimes of robbery and intentional
homicide.] [Huang Su was sentenced to two years in prison for the crime of shielding.]
[Bowen]
