Synopsis

“Cold War”, the code-name for the rescue operation of five hijacked police officers, is deemed a partial success. Despite political outcry, the potent rescue led by Acting Police Commissioner Sean Lau gains him promotion to the highest rank in the police force, yet causes Deputy Police Commissioner Waise Lee his reputable career. Joe Lee, son of Waise and the sole suspect of the conspiracy, is captured and taken into custody. The missing of the hi-tech police sprinter is still a misery.
