Storyline
Plot Summary |
Ko Chow is about to resign from the police force when he is asked to take on one more case. He is to go undercover in a gang that is robbing jewellery stores. He accepts the task and successfully infiltrates the gang. It is a very dangerous mission, not just because the gang might discover his true identity but because many of the police suspect he may well be a criminal. Written by grantss |

Quotes |
Fu:
[Fu talks about his family life]
You know, my father was a crook. I got it from him. I just hope my son doesn't turn out like me. Ko Chow: Is your old man still in jail? Fu: He's been dead for ten years. My father was stupid. He got shot by the police. Ko Chow: So you despise them? Fu: Not at all. They were just doing their job, so why should I? See more » |
