    • Synopsis
    • Lui Lok (Kwok) initially became a policeman to uphold justice but rampant corruption within the force led to the decision to make a name for himself by controlling organised crime. While fellow cop Nam Kong (Leung) may look the perfect gentleman, he in fact works hard to build an empire of corruption with Lok. But a new episode of history has begun when the ICAC, an anti-corruption body, issues wanted notices for the pair. It seems their era of power has officially come to an end. But they do not intend to go down easily…
