Operation Red Sea (Hong hai xing dong / 红海行动)

Quick! To the safe room!

Run and you're dead!

We want hostages, not dead bodies!

We can't turn off the fuel supply.

l'll cut the power and stop the ship.

Captain, Commissar.

They picked up the speed!

How much time is left?

Sir.

The ship is traveling at 23 knots.

At this speed,

we'll be in Somalian waters in 15 minutes.

Captain.

We must not enter territorial waters.

Rui Yang,

you have ten minutes.

Attention, everyone.

For the hostages' safety, attack as one.

Wait for the orders. Over.

Can you get a fix on them?

if not,

we 'll start the attack in three minutes.

Captain.

We'll report in two minutes. Over.

Dong Li.

What's our opening like?

The ship is rolling, the direction is unsteady.

Headwinds at 45-55.

For a reliable line of fire,

we need to be within 120 to 150 meters.

At 23 knots,

we'll have an optimal position

for only three seconds,

or we have a risk of collision.

Seabird One, all clear?

All clear.

Captain.

We'll attack in ten seconds.

Over.

Standby.

Attack!

There is no changes.

Northwest wind.

The velocity is 20.8.

The time is three seconds.

Data steady.

Steady.

Steady.

Steady.

Down! Everyone down!

Captain, the hostages are safe,

but we can't stop the ship.

Reporting. If the ship still doesn't stop,

we'll have to abandon the ship in five minutes.

Hong Xu, report your situation.

They have the generator.

We're running out of time.

We need to storm in and blow up the hydraulics.

If the ship doesn't stop,

everyone must leave the ship in five minutes.

Give me the shield!

You two stay here.

Shitou,

come with me!

Up there. One.

Ready to blow up the hydraulics!

Captain, the hostage-taker is escaping on a boat!

Captain!

l'll chase him.

No, Xing Luo!

There are too many of them.

It's too dangerous!

We can't let him go!

All right.

Permission granted,

but be careful.

Don't cross into territorial waters.

I promise I'll get him before we cross into territorial waters.

Jiaolong Unit Two.

Board the ship and arrest them!

Captain, Commissar.

Three pirate boats are approaching!

Xing Luo.

We must maintain a 300-meters safe distance,

Seabird One!

You can't go any further.

Stop now!

Roger.

Give me one more chance!

Pull up the plane!

Dong Li.

You should handle the others!

Steady!

Sea One and Two.

The target has stopped.

Arrest them, l'll cover you!

Sea One and Two copy that!

I got it!

Xing Luo!

Man down!

Repeating. Man down!

Who? Who was shot?

Xing Luo. It's Xing Luo.

Captain, Commissar.

The pirates are in custody.

Xing Luo is safe.

His condition is stable.

But

he has to stay in Djibouti to get treatment.

Don't worry.

Get some rest.

Captain.

Have you told them?

Yes.

Except that

it pierced his spinal nerve.

ldidn't tell them that.

Rui.

Have you heard this?

A soldier should know about sacrifice.

And that he may never return.

They should understand the soldiers' duty.

You can tell them the truth.

You're the captain, not their parent.

Don't take all of this personally

or the stress will kill you.

I can't help it. It's my responsibility.

ONE WEEK LATER

Bye-bye.

This is our target. William Parsons.

He is the head of development at an energy company in Yewaire.

His department works on the mining of uranium

and obtaining yellowcake in foreign countries.

That's why we couldn't figure out where the yellowcake came from.

October, 2014.

The month he was investigated.

That was the same time the unmarked yellowcake was smuggled in.

Exactly.

My guy says that William still has access to an abundant amount of yellowcake.

And he has just acquired the technology to make 30 bombs.

The situation in Yewaire is tense.

If that yellowcake is still there,

he wants to finish the deal and get rid of it.

We must follow this lead.

There is another report on William

about a sexual abuse case of a young girl.

Okay? And all evidence points to him.

My guy talked to the girl and she said

William never took off his necklace

because he said it contains a secret

that would turn the world into chaos.

I've got it.

I'm going straight there.

And tomorrow morning,

Abu will publish a full-page report.

Let's do something to sabotage their plan.

Don't take this any further.

You already know

the terrorists are onto you.

So what?

It's not about scaring you,

nor it is about you being scared.

Albert, you know better than anyone

why I left those big newspapers.

It's because they always do selective reporting

and covered up the truth!

-When you hired me, you said-- -No!

-l have the guts to go expose the truth. -No!

-That's why I'm here! -No!

I appreciate your tenacity,

but there are limits.

Did you forget what you stand for?

l definitely won't risk

the lives of my staff!

But there are things that are more important than life.

At 0300 hours this morning,

the Foreign Ministry sent an urgent message.

Five days ago, there was a coup in Yewaire.

By order of the Central Military Commission,
