Where the Wind Blows (风再起时)

All the guards, quick march!

The following story spans three decades

Squad, halt!

We're the storytellers

We're part of the story

I've trained new cadets for years

I always ask them one question:

Why did you sign up?

I was bullied

So you want to prove yourself?

Police are only human

We can't fly but we can die

I don't care if you fly or die

Now that you're a cadet,

you must obey the rules

Sir!

Who makes the rules?

Someone-not you

Ready...

Fire!

Nam Kong: 100

Lee Keung: 80

That's pure talent

You're now a member of the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF)

Do yourself proud!

Sign here

Signing in English? Who are you trying to impress?

Your name?

Nam Kong

Rewind

Look at this, guys! Look at what we did!

Welcome to the August 26th News Report

The Hong Kong government failed to extradite Chief Godber

after he escaped to the UK on June 8

Hong Kong citizens protested in Victoria Park,

petitioning British Prime Minister Edward Heath

to extradite Godber to Hong Kong

To report corruption,

contact the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) office

His many properties were purchased under the names of relatives

His many properties were purchased under the names of relatives

"The HK$500M Sergeant" is no joke

- We need a thorough investigation - OK

ICAC

Former Staff Sgt. Nam Kong returned to Hong Kong yesterday

Find him

Yes sir

Sir

Nam Kong is in the conference room

This early?

I didn't expect you

Yes

I'm an early riser

It's an honor to meet you, Sgt. Nam Kong

Likewise, Officer George Lee

You're famous for preventing colleagues

from getting rich

You're a good fit for ICAC

You have quite the sense of humor

| brought coffee from Italy

in honor of the ICAC launch

I'll send for more, if you like

Smells good

When you open for business,

you must treat all clients well

The air conditioning is a bit too cold for comfort

Perhaps it's intentional?

How about 23°C?

Sergeant

Let's cut the small talk

I want to discuss something with you

What is your opinion on this issue?

What is your feeling right now?

Corruption in the Hong Kong Police Force is a way of life

I mean, it is as natural as going to bed

and getting up in the morning and brushing your teeth

Two years ago you failed to extradite Godber

How did you succeed now?

Godber was previously charged under Section 10,

but Britain does not have the same provisions

We gathered more evidence a few months ago

and were able to bring corruption charges...

against Godber under Section 4

It's pretty easy to use the word "frame-up”,

but I pleaded not guilty

ICAC was accused of using underhanded tactics

The police can use the same tactics

to catch crooks but not the ICAC?

ICAC put their lives on the line

Mr. Hunt

Have you ever involved, in any way, with corruption at all

Absolutely not

Sir, you're lying

Everybody lies

That was a white lie

A lie is a lie

[t has no color, sir

You've got Hunt and now Godber

What do I get?

My men are harassed daily by ICAC

You think Hunt volunteered to be your star witness?

You think Hunt volunteered to be your star witness?

Are you stupid?

My wife often tells me:

"Don't expect others to understand everything you say"

I disagree

Some people just play dumb

When I was young,

I didn't understand why my father made me choose between a gun and a typewriter

Now I know

How do you see power?

What is the secret of power?

The secret to power is knowing that others are weaker than you

OK?

Back in the day

British drill instructors wore leather shoes

Indian cadets wore leather shoes

As for us, Chinese

instructors and cadets alike...

we only got sneakers

Good

Lui Lok told me

he didn't just want to shine foreigners' shoes

he wanted to shine my shoes, too

If I don't wear leather shoes,

how can I grant his wish?

He also said

he wanted to shine the shoes of all Chinese cadets

Starting today,

all Chinese cadets must wear leather shoes

In Chinese culture

one offers free shoe-shines in order to get ahead

Offering everyone a free shoe-shine, however...

makes us all equal

Hey!

Madam

do you have a complaint?

No, I'm fine

You can tell me

Treat yourself to tea, sir

Take it back

This is all I have

Take it back

Come here

On your knees

apologize to the officer

Down on your knees!

Stop it!

Kneel down!

Give it to me!

Thank you, sir

Thank you

That's your share

Take it or everyone else will look bad

Lok

Refuse all you want,

they'll just leave it in your locker

Hey!

You ran into me

Bring him over

You're beaten, not because you refused the money

but because you're a snob!

I didn't refuse the money because I didn't want it

I refused because I don't work for scumbags like you

Waste him!

What's going on here? We're all colleagues!

Get him, too!

Even cops get beaten up

Lok, just take the money

When you're young, it's normal to get beaten up for not paying bullies

But getting beaten up for refusing money

that's just stupid

Following the defeats of...

the Western Brigade at Staunton Creek, Middle Gap, and Wanchai

Governor Mark Young plans to hand over Hong Kong this afternoon

Kong

We're not going on vacation; we're fleeing the war

Pick one of the two

It's almost time, sir

Hurry!

We could be bombed at any time!

Get to the air-raid shelters on Chatham Road!

"Those deserted shops..."

"Are like morgues”

"People die there..."

"Every single night"

"The streets are littered with dead bodies"

People would do

just anything to survive

"how heartbreaking, how heartbreaking!”

My aunt, Hunwa and I were spared, thanks to Nian

a resistant fighter

Hunwa

Everyone is destined to die

If I don't return,

consider me dead

Find yourself a good husband...

who can provide you with food...

and water

This war had its...
