The rapid development of global industry has caused...
...electronic waste to rise to 35 million tons per year.
Since the Basel Convention in 1989...
...most developed nations have enacted environmental regulations.
The average cost of processing one ton of electronic waste is US$700.
Criminals recycle it at the low cost of US$25 per ton...
...smuggling the waste to Asia and developing nations for profit.
Most of these wastes are transferred to and disassembled in Hong Kong.
Many multinational companies are involved, being DOE Group one of them.
1996 ASIAN FINANCIAL FORUM
It was the best of times...
...it was the worst of times...
But the one thing we HongKongers are best at is adaptation.
Churchill one said:
"Success is not final."
How do we retain our advantage?
The key is...
Our vision.
In this new age of ever-increasing logistical demand...
We have to seize the opportunity at hand.
The customs clearance procedures...
...are now more streamlined.
Foreign containers for re-export are only subject to spot checks.
Our daily throughput will soon equal all of Asia put together.
Riding this momentum and remaining Asia's number one.
This is our goal.
Thank you.
Cheers.
To our flourishing business.
Cheers.
Mr. Fan, aren't you worried about them using simple customs procedures?
Hong Kong as smuggling port? Will it make us the world's best?
I'm confident in Hong Kong.
Man-made calamities
...can be more terrifying than natural disasters.

I booked a restaurant after work for Chainsmoker's last day.
Let's give him a proper send-off.
Thank you, sir!
I'm leaving my hose in your hands.
Hold it well.
Don't worry, Chainsmoker.
I'll take good care of it.
Rookie.
You haven't even seen any action since you've arrived.
He's a lucky charm.
No business is good business.
Most importantly, don't be stubborn in a fire.
- Ask for help when you need it. - Yes, sir.
Do you understand what I'm saying?
If I said I wanted the baby, would you change your mind?
If you take desk duty, I'll keep it.
Madam.
Another lover's quarrel?
I'm going back to work.
Hey. Kit Sir made dessert. Come have some.
Yes, Madam.
Never heard this one, right?
Madam, have a seat.
Madam.
Sit closer.
This is too much, here.
They're so shy...
They're obviously hot for each others.
How hard is it to say the word?
It's pretty hard.
- They're both the stoic, macho type. - Say that again!
This dessert is so sweet.
It's practically sugar.
The table's all dirty.
Excuse me, Madam.
- You get trouble this time. - Huh?
- Offended to Madam Chain. - Really?
Our guest today should be stranger to you all...
...former Financial Secretary...
...and currently an environmental pollution expert:
Dr. Simon Fan.
Welcome.
Thank you.
I'm Simon...
...Fan Wai Lap.
You left politics 10 years ago then went to earn 2 doctorate degrees.
Your research was on the effects of...
...electronic waste on the environment.
Your new book calls on all to reduce electronic waste.
Are you really only trying to reduce waste?
Or are you making up for simplifying...
...the container transit inspection procedures 10 years ago?
Do you feel it was your fault?
1996
- Madam. - What are in the containers?
Customs declaration says scrap metal.
- What kind of scrap metal? - No idea.
With the new procedures, customs won't inspect every container anymore.
We just know they're headed for Cambodia.

White flames! Run!
Hang on, Sis!
Sis!
Sis, don't let go!
Sis! Sis!
Kit sir!
- How dare you show up here? - Calm down!
If it weren't for your obsession with being number one...
...my sister would still be alive!
I want my sister back!
Give me back my sister!
Was it a problem with policy?
My job was to develop our economy
All I can say is...
I could've done better.
Your decision...
...indirectly led to an accident.
Do you feel like you owe an apology?
It's been 10 years since I've left politics.
I don't think...
...I owe anyone anything now.
Not even to the firefighters?

Uncle, smile!
Give us a smile!
Smile!
Daddy.
Sit over there.
- Mom. - Sit.
Time to eat!
Here. Have some tea.
Thank you.
Thank you, Daddy.
I'm fine.
Eat first.
Have this.
Thanks.
Eileen...
Best of luck with your studies.
Come home soon.
Have a safe trip.
I can't see you off tomorrow. So call us as soon as you land.
What's tomorrow?
- I didn't tell you? - No.
I thought I told you.
You changed your flight?
Why didn't you discuss it with me?
What's there to discuss with you?
This is my family's business, not yours.
Exactly, it's your family.
So leave it at your home.
We haven't taken a family photo. Get the manager to take it for us.
Okay.
I arranged your flight for next week. Why'd you change it?
Because, this isn't what I want.
Why don't you ever ask me what I want?
We agreed on next week.
I want to decide this time. I want to choose the major I want.
We agreed on next week, that's that.
Hey.
- Where are you going? - To Grandma's!
Is that OK with you?
Be careful!
Stop resenting Simon.
Mom...
Don't worry.
Don't think about it too much.

...hose layer and ladder truck.
Address: Tai Tong Village, Queen's Hill.
No. 1 Alarm fire in Tai Tong Village, Hung Lik Recycling Yard.
Reported burning debris.
All participating units, send your codes.
Any updates on Tai Tong Village?
We only got one call.
No casualty or entrapment report.
It's just a small fire.
Don't be so nervous.
I'm not nervous. I'm thrilled.
Kid... What's so thrilling about a fire?
Firefighting is my dream. I've been waiting for this day.
There's been an error.
The correct location is the recycling yard northeast of the estate.
Get ready.
TAI TONG VILLAGE, QUEEN'S HILL
What's going on?
What's with all these fire trucks?
Hop on!
Chainsmoker, check the perimeter.
- Get a lay of the land. - Yes, sir.
- Po, hook up the fire hydrant. - Yes, sir.
- Everyone, breathing apparatus on! - Yes, sir!
The containers are affecting visibility.
The fire's too big for No. 1 Alarm.
Let's raise it to 3.
- Better play it safe. - All right.
Fire Control, Luen Wo Hui here. No. 3 Alarm.
Requesting long-distance water supply.
Provide on-site Intel.
Mobile command unit is 20 minutes out.
Copy..
Madam. He's the supervisor.
How many people in the yard? Have they all made it out?
They're all out and accounted for.
- Do you have a floor plan? - We found this in the office.
What's placed here?
Scrap paper and metal, appliances.
- And here? - Same.
- He's all yours. - Got it.
ENTRY CONTROL
How's it looking?
The yard is the size of Victoria Park. There's a northeast entrance...
...but it's blocked by shipping containers.
This is the only exit left.
That supervisor was lying.
There may be toxic materials inside. Shall we push the cold zone...
...back by 100 meters, Madam?
Don't get antsy in there. Safety first and focus.
- Play the long game! - Yes, sir!!
Fire Control, Luen Wo Hui here.
Senior Station Officer Chan Mei Yan...

All units alert! Full evacuation! Full evacuation!
Sir!
What's wrong?
The front-line reported radiation at the scene.
A fire broke out this morning at a recycling yard on Queen's Hill.
Firefighters have been deployed.
The cause of the fire has yet to be disclosed...
CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Hello?
Chief Executive?
Simon, there's a No. 3 Alarm Fire in Fanling.
ESMC has been activated. Radiation's been detected.
Radiation?
I'm working in Europe with Chief Secretary. I won't be there until tomorrow.
Cecilia is the interim Chief Executive. She's calling the shots.
I got it.
Okay. It's an emergency.
Get everyone for a meeting in 30 minutes.
Dr. Fan, I'm Financial Secretary Fong's assistant.
Someone will brief you soon.
We have an emergency.
The government wants to appoint you as expert consultant.
Simon, we really need your help this time.
I understand. Goodbye.
The report?
Wait here.
Sir.
Dr. Fan?
Get in or lead the way..
9:45 AM
2 HOURS SINCE THE FIRE STARTED
BA 2 Water calling Kit Sir.
Water calling Madam. Madam, come in!
- Doctor, where are you going? - To the fire.
You're putting me in a bind here. I'm responsible for taking you back to HQ.
I've read the file.
If I'm just reading it again at HQ, what's the point?
Chapter 1, 18A of the Emergency Response Code:
"It is the expert consultant's duty to make...
...immediate assessments to the relevant parties."
Your report was last updated at 9:07 AM.
What time is it now? It's 10:02, an hour later.
If I'm not there, my assessments wouldn't be immediate.
You have to be in HQ so departments can consult you.
That's where you're most effective.
We can call HQ and join meetings that way.
I can answer any queries they have.
I drafted the Emergency Response Code a decade ago.
Reciting is useless. Learn to improvise.
Call your boss, I'll talk to her.
You're afraid of getting in trouble, right?
I'm not afraid.
- I'm saying if-- - I'm not afraid of getting trouble!
COLD ZONE, QUEEN'S HILL
Doctor!
We don't have permission.
Sir, what do you want? This area is closed to the public.
EMSC has activated. Response Level 3.
I'm the expert consultant.
Business card.
The government sent us to survey the scene.
Officer 28852 here.
The government has sent surveyors. They're going in.
TRIAGE POINT
Please wear your IDs first.
Thank you.
Excuse me...
How many have Acute Radiation Syndrome?
ARS Acute Radiation Syndrome
I have at least 5 with nausea.
Further tests need to be done before we can confirm.
Get the doctor's number. I need constant updates.
Can I have your number?
The situation here isn't as simple as you think.
I think there's more than one radiation source.
Carry a Geiger counter along with you.
Firefighters are working. Step aside.
Do you hear that?
I hear it.
- I'll go there. - I'll go that side.
- No way in on this side. - There's a way here.
I'll go up.
Your leg's hurt. Stay out here!
- Will you be fine by yourself? - I'm okay.
Water!
Where are you?
Over here!
Here!
Over here!
Help!
I told you to stay outside!
Worry about yourself first.
Here!
Can you move?
Leave.
Son!
Jump!
Are you all right?
I'm OK!
Are you all right?
I'm OK!
Run!
- Any updates on the fire? - It's a No. 5 Alarm now.
Over 100 firefighters are on the scene. 18 of my men are in the hospital.
Simon Fan is here. God knows why.
Simon is the best. Simon is the worst.
He's a natural showman. He loves the limelight.
Don't worry. I've got eyes on him.
CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES
Dr. Fan, this way.
The radiation is already enough trouble, now we've got Simon Fan too.
After what he did to Fire Service 10 years ago...
The Chief Executive still brought him back to consult?
He joined an NGO after he resigned and took part...
...in nuclear disaster investigations abroad.
To be fair, his profile makes him...
...the ideal choice for our expert consultant.
He was incredibly headstrong back then. He didn't care about the people around him.
So we were all quite happy when he had to...
...take the blame for the Kwai Chung accident.
Just don't let him get in our way. We can handle this.
Don't worry.
As long as reason is on our side. I'll back you up.
It's been a long time, Dr. Fan.
No time to waste, let's start.
Wait. Has Dr. Fan signed the non-disclosure agreement?
Non-governmental personnel must sign first.
Is this a new version?
It's still the one I drafted.
The government is a team... Not an individual.
If I don't sign, you won't let me in?
If the Chief Executive is here, we can make exceptions.
But he's not here and I'm in charge.
Legally...
You have to take full responsibility.
After you.
12:01 PM
4 HOURS SINCE THE FIRE STARTED
After the explosion...
...all entryways into the yard were sealed. If we don't approve the use of water...
...we cannot conduct search and rescue nor can we locate the radiation source.
Radium-226 was in a sample from the scene.
Using water may have dire consequences.
Our firefighters have to wait.
That's right. This type of material dissolves in water.
Water will send it into the catchment area...
...and pollute the district's water supply.
The region will lose running water. We'll definitely get complaints.
I have two men stuck inside. How do we fight fire without water?
Lau Sir.
I've done this for 30 years. I've never fought fire without water.
We're opening a path. We'll go in when it's opened.
They're trapped in there! They can't wait! Even without water...
We have to try. There's gotta be a way.
Lau Sir... Without your say-so we won't use a drop of water.
- Safety first. - Thank you, sir!!
Radium-226 is usually found in illegal fluorescent paint.
The radioactivity is not very strong.
As long as it's contained... The fallout can be controlled.
The peak radiation reading is 11 mSv per hour.
That's the equivalent of two chest CT scans.
Smoking an extra cigarette is more lethal, then.
Have you all read through the report?
Didn't you all read...
...the weather forecast?
Hey! Observatory Director! Say something.
Tropical Storm Murphy is located 800 km southeast of Hong Kong.
Its outer rain band has reached the southern coast.
We're preparing to hoist a Signal 1 Storm Warning.
The typhoon will reach Hong Kong in 18 hours.
Hear that?
It'll rain!
When it rains, everything will spread anyway.
Approve the use of water and open a path to the scene.
There's still time.
We can control this ourselves.
- Why rush the use of water? - Isn't it obvious?
This recycling yard is a toxic materials market!
Enter the scene ASAP...
Find the source...
Then bury it with concrete. That's the optimal solution.
I don't see any proof.
These are simply your own speculations.
We can't work on blind guesses.
I'm not speculating!
I based everything on fact. This is my professional judgment.
- Take minutes. - Take nothing!
In addition to radiu-226...
...I believe there are stronger radioactive materials inside.
What makes you say that?
At least 5 of the injured have Acute Radiation Syndrome.
One of them has a swollen...
...and ulcerated arm.
The source's radiation is at least 300 mSv per hour.
Doctor. What does 300 mSv do?
A short period of such intense radiation exposure...
...will result in vomiting, diarrhea...
...headache, fatigue and skin ulcers.
I don't see radiation poisoning in the report.
It's a battlefield down there!
They're fighting to save lives!
It's easy to mix up symptoms.
How can they report to you so quickly?
I don't understand.
There's nothing on the gauges at the scene.
The lab has 13 samples, why was only one material found?
- Why? - I'm waiting for you to explain!
Because the radiation source is out of the firefighters' reach!
That's why!
The illegal laborers must've touched it.
Otherwise... They wouldn't be so badly poisoned.
You're all here in your cushy chairs...
Do you have any idea what it's like down there?!
Finger calling Kit Sir.
Nothing.
Finger calling Kit Sir.
Hey, try yours.
Using water...
...is our best bet.
It's true... radium-226 spreading is a big problem.
But the fallout...
...is still manageable.
Let them use water.
Give them a chance to save lives.
Give us a chance to defuse a bigger bomb!
Fire Services, say something!
Give them a chance!
We don't need you to speak for us.
As long as there is an appropriate solution...
...all my firefighters cooperate fully.
Foam truck on hold, it hasn't been approved.
Keep spraying! Keep at it!
Rain is natural disaster, the public can accept that.
But a radiation leak from spraying at the fire...
That's on us!
Are you ready to take the fall?
Your job is more important than their lives?
Recycling yard fire continues with sporadic explosions.
Some speculate there's an illegal oil depot underground.
There are still containers left in there.
Relax.

Excuse me. Make way.
Water, Finger, come in.
Do you copy?!
Hey.
Eat something.
You gotta eat.
Fighting a fire isn't a solo effort.
Eat up.
We haven't found them yet.
Why are you here?
Why don't I talk to Lau Sir and get you put on back-up duty?
What are you talking about?
Take care of yourself first.
There's radiation here.
Even if the baby's not your concern...
You shouldn't be here.
Quickly! Quickly!
Mister, I asked you to leave.
Where can I go?
My house is gone!
Y'all have worked hard.
- Have some tea. - It's dangerous here.
Please listen to our colleagues and leave.
I was born here, and I'll die here.
That recycling yard kept piling up blocking my road.
Those South Asians would always crawl out of the yard and steal my veggies!
Go, go.
Let's get out of here first.
Mister, is there another way in?
Near those fancy apartments.
Zoe, ask Government Flying Service...
...about a path under the luxury apartments on the hill.
Copy, I'll ask right away.
Mobile command unit calling Heli 27.
Is there a path near the construction site on the hill?
Air command Heli 27.
Target located.
Luen Wo Hui's Kit Sir.
Construction site path confirmed.
Yes!
Water, Finger...
We're on the way in.
Hang in there!
We have three units working on opening a path.
Why are you acting on your own?
Sorry, sir. A firefighter's duty...
...is to protect and save lives. You taught us that.
The two people in there are family. I'll take responsibility!
Madam Chan. Don't join their madness!
Rescue isn't trading your life for theirs, I'm in charge here!
Lau Sir, my men are inside.
I won't leave them behind.
Kit Li.
Don't be reckless!
- Full gear! - Yes sir!
We don't know what's in there.
- Watch your backs. - Copy.
Water calling Kit Sir, do you copy?
Water calling Kit Sir.
We're trying to leave, do you copy?
Water calling Kit Sir, do you copy?
Where's that exit again?
There's a path below those luxury apartments, we can climb up there.
- The kid can't wait. - Come on.
How? You're gonna carry all 3 of us?
I can do it.
Find that path.
Finding Kit Sir is our only hope.
Dragging us along will get us all killed.
What are you doing?
Don't go anywhere. I'll make it back.
Sir! Don't leave us!
At least take my son with you.
Please. I'm begging you.
Get up.
I'll get you out first.
Hey.
I can't do this.
Wait for me.
You still owe me $900.
I haven't forgotten.
- Rope! - Yes, Madam.
Chainsmoker!
I'll cross first.
All safe.
- Rope. Get ready to rappel. - Yes, sir.

NORTHEAST SIDE OF RECYCLING YARD
Kid...
Don't give up.
Can someone double-check the readings?
Why is it still rising?
I want a report from the scene every 30 minutes.
That lab report better be here in 10 minutes!
Water, Finger, do you copy?
We're in.
What's your position? Give me your position.

Don't give up.
I'll definitely save you.

It's OK, we're here to save you.
We'll go look around.
- Pulse and breathing are weak. - Yes.

Ask when surgery can be arranged.
Okay.
Madam.
Northern Hospital's isolation facility is full. It'll take a few more minutes.
T1 STANDBY SIGNAL No. 1
The lab report just came out.
The illegal laborer rescued this morning carried another radioactive substance...
Cesium-137.
The Goiânia Accident!
The leak there was also cesium-137.
The worst medical waste leak in history.
Over 100.000 needed tests and treatment.
Many suffered from leukemia and cancer.
Infertility and teratosis rates rose greatly.
Most homes and topsoil had to be removed...
- ...due to radioactive contamination. - That leak was only 93 grams...
Look!
That's half this glass!
We don't know how much is in the yard.
It'll do serious damage to humans.
Organ failure, even death!
Let me remind you all...
Cesium isn't only soluble in water...
In addition to spreading via rain...
...cesium has a lower boiling point than radium...
At only 600 degrees.
It evaporates the moment it touches fire.
It'll spread even quicker.
The area around the fire will be contaminated.
Hong Kong will become the next Goiânia.
Cesium-137's half-life is very long.
The contaminated zone will be uninhabitable for the next century.
YUE MAN SQUARE, KWUN TONG

Evacuate.
Estimate an evacuation range...
...based on the current situation.
Wind direction, rainfall and leakage...
...will affect the estimate.
Use the current weather forecast...
...and set the leakage at 10 times bigger than Goiânia...
...for the simulation.
What are you doing?
The radiation reading is too high!
It's finding a needle in a haystack!
I get it.
You still blame yourself for what happened to your sister.
If I don't go in now...
...Finder will die.
We're not superhumans!
What will your mother do if something happens to you?
We'll find another way. Let's find another way.

...Yuen Long...
...Tin Shui Wai...
...Ma On Shan...
...Shatin...
...Sai Kung...
...Sham Tseng...

...y Kwai Chung.
Evacuate the Northern District first.
I'll make arrangements.
We're talking about 2 million people.
We can't move them all!
Not a word about the radiation gets out.
Evacuation is unnecessary right now.
Raise the fire to Disaster-level.
We're talking about radiation. You can't hide something this big.
Without the latest information, the public will panic.
There'll be more misinformation.
Evacuate.
I can't evacuate. Evacuation will only bring more panic.
The whole district will be paralyzed.
Then it would be impossible to send more firefighters to the scene.
More firefighters may not put out the fire quicker.
I don't need the fire put out!
I just need to open the north-east entrance...
...to remove the cesium-137.
All I need to do is to...
...quickly mobilize manpower to open that path...
Then the worst scenario won't come true.
This is the only way to save Hong Kong!
Face the facts!
In our current situation... anything could happen right now!
Is it really worth risking everyone's lives just to protect yourself?!
All of you know clearing a path and evacuation aren't contradictory.
You won't even give people a chance to escape?
This debate is over.
My decision is final.
- Take five. - Cecilia.
Cecilia.
The radiation will drift over here.
We should move to the Government House's...
...Command Centre as a precaution. We still have to lead--
Roger, what's wrong? Why all the missed calls?
- How bad is the fire? - Really bad.
Why don't you...?
...Leave Hong Kong with our son first?
I have to go.
We should run.
Your wife will protect us.
We'll be all right.
We're handing it.
I need to go back to work.
I have to go.
Just take the kids to Lantau Island for a while.
I have a meeting now.
The following vehicles are to participate in a Disaster-level event.
Address: Queen's Hill Tai Tong Village Hung Lik Recycling Yard.
SHAU KEI WAN FIRE STATION
Sung Wong Toi, send light rescue unit, large ladder truck...
Tsin Sha Tsui, lighting tender and breathing apparatus tender...
SHEUNG WAN FIRE STATION - Kwun Tong, pump truck and rescue unit...

Southern District, rescue unit and decontamination...
NORTH POINT FIRE STATION
Bye-Bye. Hurry home, Daddy!
All vehicles from the Peak are present.
All vehicles from Central are present.
All vehicles from Causeway Bay are present.
Attention all vehicles.
Mobile command unit is at Tai Tong Village's entrance.
8:00 PM 12 HOURS SINCE THE FIRE STARTED
We can see the scene is shrouded in black smoke.
There are occasional explosions.
Even though I'm standing quite far from the fire fight now...
...I can feel the temperature here is much higher than normal.
Fire Services has mobilized more units...
...but the flames are far from contained.
There are power cuts across the north. Fire engines are helping with the rescue.
Under the storm warning, smoke and dust have spread to nearby homes.
After inhaling smoke, many have rushed to the North District Hospital.
NORTHERN DISTRICT HOSPITAL
Hospitals have set up temporary tents...
...to cope with the influx of patients.
There are power outages in the north, causing chaos in multiple districts.
Residents are panicking.
Even now, the government have yet to provide updates.
Citizens are advised to stay home and keep windows and doors closed.
Trains between Shatin and Sheung Shui are suspended.
Emergency broadcast.
Due to power outages, the signaling system is severely affected.
Service will be disrupted.
Please wait patiently for bus arrangements.
Posts in multiple Internet discussion forums...
...suggest that the fire has spreads toxic dust...
...all across Hong Kong.
The city's healthcare system is in collapse.
9:00 PM
13 HOURS SINCE THE FIRE STARTED
As the Queen's Hill Recycling Yard Fire rages on...
...sources reveal that there is a radioactive material at the scene:
Cesium-137.
It is believed that a half-km radius around the yard...
...has been severely contaminated.
However, radiation levels across Hong Kong remain normal.
Kowloon, Hong Kong Island, Lantau Island are relatively safe areas...
The government will likely evacuate soon.
Dr. Fan, a non-disclosure agreement violation is 7 years in jail.
You should know better.
I don't care who you are.
We're in a critical situation and you're playing divide and conquer?
We don't have enough resources for evacuation.
I won't change my mind.
I have no time to play politics with you.
Open all public venues immediately.
Requisition every tour bus in Hong Kong.
Order an evacuation.
Evacuate as soon as possible.
Your families are not the only people with the right to know.
If it's the right thing to do...
You should do it.
TAI TONG VILLAGE CONTINGENCY PLAN
What's happening over there?
Simon and Cecilia, stay in the room. Everyone else, step out.
I saw the news.
Cecilia, how did you manage to mess this up?
I suspect someone leaked classified Intel.
We're in a severe catastrophe.
If no one steps up...
...and tell the truth, Hong Kong will spiral out of control.
It's impossible to evacuate everyone.
The truth will just bring more terror and chaos, only creating more panic.
We have to believe that...
...one more life evacuated, is one life saved.
That's enough.
The public has the right to know. Evacuate now.
Stop following me!
You can stay behind!
If you're scared, tell them I didn't let you come.
I'm not scared! I want to help!
Everyone has their role to play.
Thank you.
Due to severe pollution...
...around the recycling yard... The area will be sealed.
The government has declared a state of emergency.
Civil Affairs and the police are evacuating residents in the north.
Slowly...
Watch your step...
Over 2.000 tour buses have been sent to housing estates...
...for evacuation.
Most residents are being cooperative.
There's been no sign of chaos.
The radiation from the recycling yard fire...
...has spread to nearby homes. Several thousand residents are affected.
And hour after the government's evacuation notice...
...emergency evacuations are being carried out within 5 km of the fire.
According to the Airport Authority, an influx of people going to the airport...
...has caused gridlock on highways.
The government is urging people to not go to the airport.
Main roads in the northern district are heavily congested...
...blocking buses from picking up residents.
People are still waiting patiently for arrangements.
Nurse! My daughter is vomiting really badly.
Is it caused by radiation?
We're overloaded right now. Please wait.
But feel her temperature. She's really burning up.
- I'll get a doctor. Wait. - Nurse!
Hang in there, relax. We're almost at the hospital.
The oil truck ahead has stalled. Both lanes are blocked.
- Hey, a truck has stalled? - Yeah.
- Hey! - Wait here.
What happened?
It's not like I wanted this to happen. My truck broke down.
Help us push!
One, two, three!
OK, thank you!
Help us open a path!
Let the ambulance through!
Please stay calm and follow personnel instructions.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Is there no way we can go home?
The Queen's Hill Recycling Yard Fire...
...has burned for 16 hours and is not looking to let up.
All residents within 8 km of the scene have been evacuated.
Evacuation is still in progress.
Grandma, are you hungry?
- Want some bread? - I'm not hungry.
Hello?
Daddy.
Waiting for your flight?
I didn't go.
I'm with Grandma.
Are you all right?
I'm at work.
Look after yourselves.
"BE CAREFUL, DADDY."
If you're worried about your dad...
...why not just tell him?
Is it that hard?
He can be hard to talk to.
When your mom passed away...
...your dad came to see me.
He cried like a child in front of me.
After he lost his wife...
...he still had to face the public while raising you.
He's under a lot of pressure.
Don't take it to heart.
Simon, is there a way to...
...stop the radiation leak?
Yes...
But it's risky.
According to radiation monitors by the Weather Observatory...
...and Government Flying Service's on-scene reports, the leakage escalated when...
...the helicopter crashed into the containers...
...300 meters east by south-west of the yard's entrance.
Radiation levels are highest there.
I'm sure the cesium-137 is inside those containers.
Even if we can locate the container, the road hasn't been opened.
Cars can't access it.
Cars can't go in...
But people can.
You mean to...
...remove the materials manually?
Yes.
You want to order firefighters to go in?
Simon, Hong Kong has never had a disaster like this before.
You need to handle this very carefully.
The whole fire brigade only has 8 protective suits.
There's no data the suits can withstand radiation.
I'll go there myself.
Since we can't confirm the amount of radioactive materials inside...
...and since the road is sealed... We need to remove the materials...
...from the scene then seal it in concrete.
That's the order from up top.
Dr. Fan will give the details.
We found a very strong...
...radioactive material on the injured illegal laborer from the yard:
Cesium-137.
Chlorinated cesium-137 is usually sealed...
...and used in radioactive medical instruments...
...or industrial measurements.
When leaked...
...nearby areas will be severely contaminated...
...along with the people in them.
LABOURER LEUNG'S SON
Lau Sir, we've never touched this kind of stuff before. How do we handle it?
Sir, It will be hard to locate it with all those containers in there.
The radiation level in the yard is over 300 mSv.
Anyone who goes in will be infected.
We need to wear protective suits. With the temperatures inside...
And the lack of data... Will the suits last?
Our guys are still in there...
Can we save them first?
I know this operation is dangerous.
If you're not willing to go...
...regardless of who's giving the orders I will support you.
Even if I'll get fired...
...I won't force them to go in for you.
I know this mission is dangerous...
...and I understand...
...why you'd have suspicions.
I know this material...
...better than anyone here.
I'll go in myself.
If we pull off this mission will this crisis be defused?
I don't want to give any false hope.
Success...
...is not just hinged on our determination.
It's hinged on our luck, too.
Ten years ago...
...I made a decision.
It cost the lives of 6 firefighters.
I'm to blame for that.
Today, I stand here...
...asking for a chance... to stand by you.
There's a chance you will die on this mission.
You all have families.
If you choose to walk away...
...I understand.
As long as there's hope...
...I'm in.
I can't leave my brothers behind.
I'm sorry, honey.
Don't you dare leave me.
You better come back.
You still have to be a father.
The breathing apparatus has 30 minutes of oxygen. Don't waste time.
Even over a short period, radiation levels of over 3000 mSv are very dangerous.
We only have one shot. Stay only as long as you need to.
Speak up if you feel ill.
The team has entered the scene.
480 mSv.
510 mSv.
620 mSv.
980 mSv.
Go.
1560 mSv.
Water Ghost, are you all right?
Get him out.
2100 mSv.
2400 mSv.
2900 mSv.
This place is filled with dangerous metals.
But they're not the radiation source.
It's all toxic chemicals.
Magnesium metal.
It explodes when it touches water.
This space is too narrow and toxic. Leave the lead box outside.
Chu, Po, stand by outside.
Yes, sir.
3800 mSv.
This is cesium-137.
Cover it with lead.
Stop the leakage.
3220 mSv.
The reading is still high.
It's this medical scanner.
Pass it carefully.
Come on.
Careful!
Check their breathing apparatus's levels.
16 minutes of oxygen left.
Are you all right?
Can you keep going?
Leave it!
Big B!
- Don't worry! Everything will be fine. - Ah!
Abort mission!
It's all over!
Fall back!
Tell everyone...
...to evacuate.
Lau Sir...
If you're not leaving...
...neither are we.
T3 STRONG WIND SIGNAL NO. 3
Excessive hemorrhage. Give me Gelofusin full rate 500 cc.
His heartbeat is weak.
Defrib, 120J.
Start CPR.
Planning so much in life is pointless.
Hey.
Are you OK?
I'm contaminated.
Is there really no other way?
Is there really nothing we can do?
All these years...
I haven't been able to forgive myself.
That's why...
...I don't know how to forgive you.
That doesn't matter now.
Ten years ago...
If it wasn't for my daughter...
...I would have given up a long time ago.
The radiation is already spreading.
It'll blow up when it rains.
Get yours men out.
There's nothing you can do.
EILEEN
UNCLE KIT
Little Brat!
Uncle?
Hang on.
Hello?
Daddy...
Are you done with work?
Not yet.
I regret not listening to you.
If I had, you'd be on a plane.
Daddy...
I believe...
...this is Mom's will.
It'll be OK...
Where's Grandma?
Hello?
Mom.
How are things over there? Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Don't worry...
...is everything okay?
Kit.
Hmm?
Don't worry about me.
Do what you're meant to do.
Focus on getting your job done.
Get to it.
I'll wait for you to come home.
There's really no other way?
You said concrete stop radiation from spreading.
How much do you need?
At least 100 tons.
We need 6 feet of concrete over the containers...
...to block the radiation.
Those luxury apartments have plenty of construction waste!
- What's wrong? - This isn't the only battlefield!
Kelly, I have a solution! Tell Cecilia to get...
...explosives experts and civil engineers!
There's a file the government hasn't disclosed!
The one on the Kwai Chung fire 10 years ago!
That's a Class 1 classified file. The content is confidential.
This is our last chance!
¡I'm blowing up Peter Cowen's luxury apartments!
Get moving!
Hello?
Hong Kong Information.
Heli 25 3 Persons On Board...
...from Fanling via Lead Mine Pass for Wan Chai.
GOVERNMENT HOUSE, HONG KONG
It's a huge construction site.
Would Cowen be willing to just give it away?
I'm friends with Peter.
I think it's negotiable.
Have you found the file?
Why are you looking into that fire?
10 years ago...
Peter Cowen took advantage of a loophole in the new customs procedures...
...and labelled electronic waste for "re-export."
He snuck them in under Customs' nose.
It was then shipped to recycling yards...
...turning Hong Kong into a trash transfer point!
Do you think the same people are involved in this radiation leak?
Yes.
Cowen's DOE controls the entire industry chain.
It's been going on for years.
They charge foreign firms to dispose of waste...
...they strip valuable parts and sell them for extra profit.
Thousands of containers a year... That's billions in profit.
I didn't have enough to nail Cowen when I was in office.
Dr. Fan.
You're only half-right.
The redacted sections on the report implicate more than just Cowen.
Don't worry.
I'll get this sorted for you.
The bigger the mess. The better our odds are.
3:30 AM
19 HOURS SINCE THE FIRE STARTED
AIR DEFENCE SHELTER, GOVERNMENT HOUSE - How do you get this file?
Roger wouldn't break the law...
...and he definitely couldn't have been involved in that fire 10 years ago.
The yard is owned by DOE.
Hung Lik is your husband's business.
Your husband and Cowen are obviously colluding in illegal smuggling.
This is Class 1 classified. You don't have clearance.
Sorry. I don't. But I've read it already.
All I know is, this is our bargaining chip.
Protocol forbids us from using this file to negotiate.
Don't talk to me about protocol. Don't talk to me about protocol!
All I want to know is: Do we blow it up or not?
Come in.
Peter Cowen is here.
Long time no see.
Cecilia.
I already know the government wants my Jade Pavilion.
If it'll save Hong Kong, I'll happily oblige.
However...
I'm a businessman. I deserve compensation.
You're demanding money?
Simon.
A businessman never turns down money.
I just need Cecilia to sign something for me.
Put that down.
Cecilia, if you call off investigating this accident...
...I'll give you 30% off.
The blood of millions of people are about to be on your hands.
Do you think--?
Do you both think you'll get away with it?
Cecilia, honey, I'm so sorry.
I was coerced.
After the Kwai Chung fire he asked me to pay your people...
...to cover it up.
Then he forced me to work with him.
I didn't know this would happen.
We're protecting lives.
In the name of public interest...
We can blow it up without paying.
Sure.
You can blow it up, for all I care.
Intentional destruction or damage of other's property.
That's a criminal offence.
DOE is a multinational corporation.
My company will turn this into an international embarrassment for Hong Kong.
And I promise...
...no reasonable investor will hedge their bets on this city again!
If I'm going down...
...I'm taking everyone down with me.
Persecute me...
...or save your economy.
Your call!
Please, I don't have all day.
What a waste of time.
Door!
You were once a politician too.
4:20 AM 20 HOURS SINCE THE FIRE STARTED
We've done several simulations with the data we have.
PRESIDENTIAL REFUGE - The success rate never crossed 50%.
It won't cover everything.
We still have to try.
Half is better than none.
Half is pointless.
It has to be 100% to fully block the radiation.
Can we direct the rubble on the radioactive material?
I would need a survey of the yard, Jade Pavilion, and the slope first.
If we had 6 months, it would be possible.
I've checked the slope catalogue.
The slope is 69 degrees away from the successful coverage deviation value.
Where in the recycling yard is this cistern?
How deep is it?
It's under the east side of the yard.
It's about... 13 meters deep.
We'll blow up Jade Pavilion first to create a landslide.
Then we blow up the cistern to trigger a cave-in.
The containers will all fall in.
The depth of the concrete will be more than three stories tall.
Theoretically, it's sound.
But we're only going by these plans. We're understaffed.
Our firefighters can help too. Manpower is no issue.
Murphy has picked up speed.
It'll arrive sooner than projected. We only have two hours.
Two hours?! Get moving!
I can't tell you whether it'll work.
We can't wait anymore.
Give it a chance.
I'm counting on you all.
90 minutes left!
- Everyone move quickly. - Copy!
CISTERN ENTRANCE, QUEEN'S HILL
Everyone move quickly!
JADE PAVILION SIDE ENTRANCE - Quickly!
JADE PAVILION SIDE ENTRANCE
The rain band will arrive in 90 minutes.
Do all you can to help the explosives team.
CISTERN
Each units is responsible for 9 columns. 5 people per unit.
Unit heads, keep me updated.
Copy!!
- Has the storm path changed? - It hasn't.
Unit B ready! Get ready to pull out!
Copy!!
How's the explosive team doing?
Jade Pavilion is ready to go.
The environment in the cistern is too harsh.
There are still a dozen pillars that haven't been set yet.
The unit at the scene said they need 10 more minutes.
- Unit C complete! - Okay, leave! Let's go!
Okay.
- Hurry up! - Copy!
Which pillar's done. Connect the detonator then.
Copy.
Kit Sir!
Water...
...didn't make it.
We charged his phone.
He left a message for us.
Finger?
Hello?
How much time do we have?
We've located a firefighter who's trapped inside. This is the last chance.
- I need to save him. - All right.
Give me a moment.
They found him! They found the firefighter trapped inside!
Observatory, is there enough time to get him out?
The rain band arrives in 30 minutes.
We can't delay any longer.
My firefighters...
...just want to save one more life.
Please give us a chance.
Okay...
I promise...
But remember to prioritize our situation.
30 minutes. You must leave by then, successful or not.
All right.
There's no time to put on protective clothing.
- Let's go! - Yes, sir!
6:50 AM
23 HOURS SINCE THE FIRE STARTED
Po, go look around for a working car.
We'll go this way.
Hang on...
You must hang in there...
Up ahead!
Look!
We should move towards this direction.
Sir!
Noises over there!
Finger.
Help him up!
Careful.
- It's okay, we're here... - Po, we've found Finger!
At the junkyard!
Finger.
Are you okay?
Kit Sir...
Where's Water?
We'll talk later.
Chainsmoker, where's Water?
Let's get out first.
Po.
Where's Water?
- Good to go? - Okay!
Where's Water?
I'm asking you where is Water?!
Yes?
Sir, it's Lau. There was an accident.
Wait.
Accidental explosion in the cistern. Casualties unknown.
We may have to change course. No update on the explosives.
Keep them on the line. I want constant updates.
Copy.
How much does this affect our plans?
Last we heard...
A team is still trapped inside. Their status inside is unknown.
We're screwed...
It's all over.
KIT LI
According to the simulations...
Even without the cistern we still have a 50% chance.
- Continue with the operation. - Yes, ma'am.
Help!
Hang in there! Are you all right?
Someone will save us soon.
Help!
Stop!
Is anyone down there?!
Anyone in there?
Help us!
Sir!
Finger's badly hurt. Shouldn't we get him out first?
Chainsmoker, get them out. I'll stay.
- Kit Sir, take me with you. - We leave no one behind.
Might as well. Go!
Wait here.
- Go! - Okay!
All right.
Ready.
Release.
Someone is coming to save us.
- Hold on. Is he hurt? - He's hurt bad.
Are you all right?
Chainsmoker, help me.
Silly boy, it's not your turn yet.
Stay here.
Get him above ground first. His right side is hurt badly.
Don't be scared, we're here to save you.
I'll check over there.
Okay.
It's over.
The cables are crushed. It can't be pulled out.
The detcords in my unit aren't ready.
Pull up!
You two leave. Let's get you out.
How?
I'm not done here.
Every pillar has to blow in order for this to collapse.
If I fail, millions will die!
The cables are crushed.
Go get help.
Drag the cables in.
You have to.
All right!
Watch can I do? I'll help.
I don't know what can be done now.
Get it together!
Kit Li calling mobile command unit.
Copy, go ahead.
We need to help the explosives team.
Come again?
During extraction...
...we saw the explosives team. They had an accident.
Two dead, one injured. A set of detcords have not been installed yet.
We'll finish it with them.
Tell HQ...
To carry on as planned. We'll get the job done.
Get everyone out before the rain falls!
Tie the detcord around those explosives.
The yellow wires are for the TNT. Tie them with the explosives on the wall.
There must be contact to blow the pillars.
After the wire is pulled in we can detonate outside.
The landslide sealed the entrance.
Now what?
The cables can't reach outside.
We can't detonate outside.
Even if we set up all the explosives...
It's pointless.
What if we pull the cord up to the yard?
We've used up all our wires.
We have to detonate in here.
How much longer?
We only have a few minutes left!
Chainsmoker, get them out.
Pull up!
Careful!
Pull!
Up!
Careful!
Hey.
Time to go.
I'll be right behind you.
Don't even start.
I know what you're thinking.
All right...
We'll finish this and leave together.
Chainsmoker, stop! Leave!
Like hell I will!
- You can't do this alone! - Let me be! I can do this alone!
Lunatic!
Leave!
You've lost your mind. Stop trying to be the hero!
You're sick in the head!
Psycho!
The wind is picking up.
The rain band has entered Hong Kong waters.
Hang on tight.
What are you doing?!
- Why are you down here?! - Go back up!
Kit Sir, I'm here to help.
Get back up there!
- Chainsmoker. - Go back up.
You said it yourself, Chainsmoker. No one gets left behind.
If you're not leaving... neither am I.
Let's finish up and leave together!
Get your ass up there!
I know we shouldn't risk our lives!
But millions of lives are at risk here!
Let me do something!
Let me help!
There's no time! Come help!
I got three pillars left!
Everyone's insane...
Everyone's goddamn nuts!
- Kit Sir. - Drag that cable over!
Okay.
The rain band has reached the north!
Rain's coming! Come back!
Po, leave before it's too late.
Go!
Kit Sir, what are you saying?
Honey, what's going on?!
There's no time left! Stop this madness...
...and come out!
Kit Sir...
This is an order. This is an order!
This is Simon Fan.
Kit Li!
Bring the other firefighters out!
Right now!
Immediately!
Jade Pavilion is ready for blasting.
It's too late.
Rain has started falling.
I have to detonate from inside.
Simon...
Take care of my mother.
Mei Yan...
I'm sorry.
I bought this ring a long time ago.
I was going to give it to you at Chainsmoker's dinner tonight.
Who would've thought things would turn out like this.
My ring's in here.
Keep it for me until I come back.
You better cone back.
Initiate detonation!
7:48 AM
24 HOURS SINCE THE FIRE STARTED
Radiation level at the yard...
...have stabilized.
Chainsmoker... Chu...
9:30 AM
CENTRAL GOVERNMENT OFFICES LOBBY, CENTRAL
Dr. Fan...
You're in trouble if this goes public.
It's 7 years in jail.
Are you sure about this?
Here they come...
Today...
We successfully prevented a catastrophe.
I have to thank DOE Corp's Peter Cowen for his support...
...in resolving this crisis.
This was no natural disaster!
It was man-made!
It should not have happened.
Every sacrifice made in this incident...
...was caused by...
...your greed and selfishness, Cowen!
You know that law enforcement can't touch me.
And you still violated your non-disclosure agreement. You are losing your mind.
You'll lose everything.
I'm prepared to.
This world...
...doesn't belong to you rich pricks!
7 million lives in Hong Kong nearly died by your greedy hands!
He caused that fire 10 years ago. He got away then.
But today...
I refuse to believe...
I refuse to believe that you profiteers always win!
- You are wrong. - You're done for!
You can't bring me down.
You're done for!
I'm very grateful that Hong Kong averted...
...a catastrophic disaster...
...thanks to the firefighters and front-line rescuers...
...who stepped up...
...in the face of danger.
They gave their blood, their sweat...
...even their lives.
I would like to express...
...my heartfelt gratitude to them.
We may have avoided a large-scale radiation leak...
...but we paid a dear price for it.
We will face the problem and admit our faults.
I assure you...
...in the remainder of my term...
...I will do my utmost to restore the public's trust...
...to build a more beautiful, safer...
...and better Hong Kong for all.
I hereby announce...
I will personally lead ICAC's investigation.
There will be no mercy for those responsible.
THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE RADIATION ACCIDENT.
THE ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER SIGNED BY CECILIA WAS UNDER JUDICIAL REVIEW.
CITING PERSONAL REASONS, SHE HAS RESIGNED...
...AND IS VOLUNTARILY COOPERATING WITH ICAC'S INVESTIGATION.
PETER COWEN AND ROGER FONG WERE ARRESTED FOR BRIBERY...
...OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE, AND ILLEGAL HANDLING OF HIGHLY DANGEROUS MATERIALS...
...CAUSING MULTIPLE INJURIES AND DEATHS, SENTENCED TO 30 YEARS IN PRISON.
DUE TO PUBLIC INTEREST CONSIDERATIONS...
...THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE DECIDED TO NOT PROSECUTE KELLY WONG.
DUE TO GOOD BEHAVIOUR...
...SIMON FAN WAS RELEASED THREE YEARS EARLY.
Daddy.
Mom.
LUEN WO HUI FIRE STATION, NORTHERN NEW TERRITORIES
Let's go.
IN THE AFTERMATH, UPWARDS OF 1000 CITIZENS WERE CONTAMINATED.
THE NORTHERN DISTRICT WAS LISTED AS A HIGH-RISK ZONE.
THE GOVERNMENT HAS RESETTLED 300.000 RESIDENTS TO OTHER AREAS.
THE RADIATION-AFFECTED AREA WILL BE UNINHABITABLE FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DECADES.
THOUGH IT MAY SEEN OUT OF REACH, PERHASPS IT'S ONLY A STEP AWAY.
MY DISASTER NEVER FALL UPON US.
OUR HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE HONG KONG FIRE STATION FOR THEIR GENEROUS SUPPORT.
