Episode 2 KIU is besieged by a gang of suspicious-looking people while on duty. KIU has some physical contact with the suspects in the confusion and gets a complaint about it later on. The Miscellaneous Enquires Sub-unit has requested an explanation from KIU. NI, who has a reputation for being strict, is to follow KIU’s case. She reveals to KIU that the complaint against him is likely to be justified. NI takes MAN in for questioning. MAN tries to intercede for KIU but ends up getting a good telling-off from NI. Wanting to atone for his mistake, KIU offers to work on rest days, which irks LAM beyond measure. Desperate to see her boyfriend, LAM tries to walk after KIU along his patrol route, during which she happens to run into CHENG CHI-KEUNG, the one who has complained about KIU. Noticing that KEUNG and his gang are acting suspiciously, LAM decides to stalk the guys. Unfortunately LAM is discovered and gets shot dead straight away…… |

Episode 3 MAN and KIU are shocked to find that the newly appointed sergeant is a member of KEUNG’s gang named CHEUNG KING-FUNG. FUNG is in fact an undercover police officer who managed to infiltrate the drug trafficking ring. Believing that FUNG has something to do with LAM’s death, MAN and KIU have both shown open hostility towards him. KIU discovers that FUNG is not only unfamiliar with the standard operating procedures but also tends to be a bit too violent while in the execution of his duty. MAN therefore submits an anonymous letter of complaint against FUNG. Upon receiving the complaint letter, NI asks FUNG for an explanation. The two of them have a serious argument over the matter, which greatly shocks and embarrasses CHEUNG NIM-YAN, who is FUNG’s sister and NI’s subordinate in the Miscellaneous Enquires Sub-unit.
