Mainland China police officers Alex Lee and Darren Tong are working on a routine mission.
The commanding officer commends the duo for trying their hardest, but they have to learn to work as both a team and separate units.
Meanwhile, Uncle Ma, an elder gang boss at the event, is about to score a major deal with a Japanese woman named Norika.
Uncle Ma does not deal with drugs and tells Tony that out of respect, he will meet with his friend, but will also deny his proposal.
He has police surround her, but she escapes when she grabs Alex by his tie and jumps to the lower floor, nearly taking him down in the process.
As Alex and Darren attempt to find out why both Chong is dead and Norika stole the disc, it is revealed that Lee is Coolio's bodyguard and Coolio is the friend who Tony plans to introduce to Uncle Ma to start the drug market.
At the long-awaited meeting, Uncle Ma respectfully declines Coolio's offer to smuggle drugs in the market and suggests to Tony that the old man must die.
Alex and Darren show up in time and a major fight ensues with Sheriff Lin getting shot by Coolio.
In the melee, Tony is killed and the helicopter crashes on a building, forcing Darren, Norika, and Coolio on a glass pane.
