"Yes, Sir!" "In 2 hours, after the CFO is gone." "We can't wait." "You gave the order to pull out just now." "You must think carefully before you do."

"You turned off the natural gas pipe, and we have partial blackouts." "Mr. Man wanted to turn on the backup generators." "Don't let him restart the natural gas," "I'm on my way back." "Didn't we shut it down?" "Just for the time being." "If they reboot with the computer, there's no way we can stop them." "We must stop them." "I'll go with you." "I'm going to the power station with Miss Yang, to stop them restarting." "I may not convince them, can you come over right now?" "OK!" "Be careful!" "So, he's not on your nerves any more?"

"Mr. Man." "Did the natural gas pipe check out OK?" "OK." "It's just about." "But the Menford Street section needs time to repair." "Call all the engineers." "Turn back on all the natural gas pipes, understand?" "Yes!" "Yes!" "Hello?" "Hurry back!" "There's a building behind the pipe?" "Let's go in." "I'm going upstairs." "Sir!" "Where's Sam?" "We just put out the fire." "Sam Sir went inside with Yau Sir." "Sam, why didn't you answer me?" "We'll talk later at the station." "Tarn Sir is on his way." "I want you to get your ass outside, listen to what I say, I'll do the talking." "No!" "I told you we've a problem here, but you didn't care." "What?" "I didn't care?" "I told you to wait!"

"This is the blueprint of the power station." "Entrances are over here." "Sam Sir, structural walls have collapsed." "Both entrances are blocked." "East and south wings are on fire, even side doors are blocked after the explosion, and there's thick smoke inside." "Is there any other entrance?" "There's an underground passage over here, but it's not viable because of all the cables." "Right here!" "No, Sir!" "There's just room for one person, and there are all electric cables." "Find another entry point." "Hello?" "Mr. Yau?" "I'm sorry," "We couldn't find Water and two other boys on the bus." "I'm afraid they're still at the power station." "Are you sure?" "I believe so." "Sam!" "My son is inside." "Let me try, I think I can get in." "You know it won't work." "It's not your first day on the job." "People are dead by the time you dig your way in." "Major and Ocean are still inside," "I'm just as worried as you are." "You're the ADO, you call the shots." "You don't want to be held accountable." "It's not about accountability." "I don't want you to die in there and had to carry your body out!" "I don't want to lose another buddy." "Do you care more for your comrades, or for your own reputation?" "Chill!" "Listen to me," "I can take the rap for you before, but not this time." "Then maybe you should leave!" "Come out!" "Chill!" "Chill!" "I memorized the blueprint by heart." "Follow me, I'll get you out." "Keep moving..." "Wait!" "This way, hurry..." "Help!" "Anyone out there?" "In here!" "Help!" "Wait outside!" "Wait outside!" "Don't go anywhere!" "Wait for me outside!" "Help!" "Hang on!" "Help!" "The smoke is coming!" "Hurry!" "Ladies first!" "Hurry!" "Hang in there..." "MY leg..." "I can't hold it much longer..." "Hang in there..." "Wait outside!" "Come on!" "Ocean, the smoke is coming!" "Hurry!" "I'll do it!" "Lead the Way!" "OK!" "Hurry up now!" "We're going to die!" "How do we get out?" "We won't die!" "My Dad is a fireman, he'll save us." "Here..." "Sam Sir, this is the structural pillar." "The wall up there should be the thinnest." "If there's nothing blocking the way, we can get in." "But if we dig from here, it may collapse." "I already sent the data to Tam Sir." "Sam Sir, the entrance Yau Sir took is now blocked up." "Blocked up." "Sam, do you copy?" "It's CK." "Go ahead, Sir!" "I've gone over the data." "It's too dangerous." "Do not try to dig in." "Wait for Urban Search and Rescue." "Yes, Sir." "How long before they get here?" "Hard to tell!" "Because of the blackout, the highway is jammed and they're short-handed." "Sam Sir, the Observatory confirmed the typhoon will hit." "The No. 8 signal will be hoisted soon." "The rain will force the smoke back into the building." "The exit is over there." "If we get across this bridge, we'll reach the exit." "Through the door, we'll find the computer room." "Past the computer room is a smokestack that'll lead us outside." "No way, I can't get cross." "Go back..." "No, where we came is filled with smoke." "Without a BA, we'll be dead in 10 minutes!" "Go this way." "Yes, we must get across." "The landscape is too complicated." "I'll carry him over first, the rest of you follow me." "OK, you go first." "Water!" "Water!" "An exit!" "Bring our tools!" "Yes, Sir!" "Yes, Sir!" "Give me a hand!" "Grab the BA and blasting tools!" "Hurry!" "Yes, Sir!" "Hurry!" "Back up... it may collapse again." "Bring the platform so we can take a look." "Yes, Sir!" "The entrance is blocked." "The team can't get in, let's go to find the others." "Don't use the BA unless in need." "Yes, Sir!" "Paper jet plane?" "Water!" "Watch out!" "Keep your feet in!" "My leg..." "let me go first." "I'll go first." "Get moving!" "Hurry up!" "Don't touch the rail!" "Be careful!" "Help me." "Help me watch him." "Help and watch for falling objects, kid." "Come on, give me a hand." "Listen, step over me to go!" "Hurry!" "I'll go first, hang onto me." "I can't!" "Come on!" "Go!" "Hurry!" "Come on!" "Hurry, the smoke is coming!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "Don't look down!" "Look at me!" "Come on!" "The machine is going to blow!" "We must hurry!" "Come and help me!" "Be careful!" "Don't look down!" "Hurry!" "It's going to blow!" "Wait for everyone before we move on." "Ocean, above you!" "Be careful!" "Hold on tight... 90 up!" "Hold on tight!" "Hang in there!" "Hang fast!" "Ouch..." "Up!" "Cover up your mouth and nose!" "Let's go." "Hurry!" "Get down!" "Hurry!" "Come on, keep moving!" "You're finally here!" "Sam Sir, the black smoke comes too quick." "Don't mind me!" "Save them!" "Hold on!" "Give them the BA!" "The exit is that way!" "Kin, the rope!" "Get over here..." "Help them get across." "Is there any support?" "Yes!" "Corning!" "Major!" "GO up!" "Step UP!" "Step UP!" "Don't fall asleep!" "Take my helmet first." "I'll come back for it." "Come on, Ocean!" "Ocean!" "Hang in there!" "Give me your hand!" "Send him over!" "Don't be scared!" "OK, go down!" "Take it easy..." "Don't move!" "Come on!" "Don't move!" "Help..." "Help..." "Don't move..." "Give me your hand!" "Come on!" "Major!" "Tie it up... come on!" "The exit is down there!" "Come on!" "Major!" ""Ventilation shaft."" "Tight it and get over here, Major!" "The door is stuck!" "Give us a hand!" "Get over here!" "Sam Sir, get the door!" "No, get over here!" "I'll come for my helmet." "We must go." "If we don't get the door open, we'll all die!" "Let's go!" "I can stand it, just get the door!" "Let's go!" "Ocean, the round of beer is not on me yet!" "Come on!" "Let me..." "Sam don't be afraid!" "I trust you." "You will get them out." "The fire will burn out eventually." "As fire-fighters we fight not just a fire, but to save lives." "But to save lives we must first overcome the smoke." "Sam Sir, the smoke dissipated." "What a shame I quit smoking!" "Or else I'd suck it up in one breath!" "Sam, I'm coming!" "Hang in there!" "I'm working on the door!" "Chill!" "Over here!" "Hurry..." "Hang in there, Major!" "Sir, No. 8 signal is hoisted." "Ben Sir, we can't go in." "It's raining, the soil is wet and soft, it's too dangerous for digging." "I don't care how, we must find a way in to save them!" " Keep digging!" "Give me a hand!" " Yes, Sir!" "He's not breathing!" "Stand back!" "Hang in there!" "Sam Sir..." "Ocean!" "Are you alright?" "Okay?" " Are you alright?" " I was injured in the explosion." "I'll manage." "I'm OK." "We're dead!" "We're dead!" "There's no way out!" "We're finished!" "We're dead!" "It's your fault!" "Yang Lin already told you not to turn on the gas but you wouldn't listen." "Just drop it!" "What's the use of bringing that up now?" "Blame me?" "You think I want this?" "I have orders from the boss." "All eyes are on me!" "It's Christmas Eve!" "What can I do?" "If I don't turn it on, Hong Kong is finished!" "Can you feel the pressure I was under?" "They're fire-fighters, they can't even save themselves!" "What could I have done?" "Chill!" "Chill!" "Where are you going?" "Where?" "To find my son." "You can't just leave them." "They'd fall apart!" "I understand you want to save your son." "But how?" "Where is he?" "Nobody knows." "We only know we have lives to save." "Trust me, once we get these people out," "I'll come with you to look for your son." "You?" "After what happened today still expect me to trust you?" "Don't lecture me." "That's the responsibility why I came back for you!" "At least these people are still alive." "And my son?" "I don't even know if he's dead or alive." "My duty is... even if my son died in the fire," "I must carry his body out." "This is my duty as a father!" "My son died in a fire." "But I couldn't get him out." "I'm telling you, if you go back in, you won't be able to save your son," "you'll only get yourself killed." "Trust me." "Keep going forward is the only chance to find your son." "A fireman's helmet is like a soldier's helmet." "You must look your part in the battlefield." "I'll come back for mine." "I trust you." "You will get them out." "Break the glass, keep going forward." ""Sam!" "Yellow smoke!"" "Get up!" "Go over there!" "But 4th floor was off-limit." "Over here as well!" "The yellow smoke is poisonous, get the BA." "Go over there... breathe from the BA, hurry!" "No enough air in the BA!" "Listen." "Take a deep breath and hold it, pass it to the next person and run." "Before the yellow smoke fills in, let's get out of here." "Back up!" "Use Mr. Man's card to open this door." "Where's the door card?" "Mr. Man has it." "Watch them." "I'll go find him!" "Hang on... it's OK!" "Come on!" "Hang on, I'll do it." "Get out!" "Hurry!" "Hang in there!" "Hey, hang in there!" "1, 2, 3!" "It's OK..." "It's OK..." "Sam, let's go!" "The stairs have fallen apart!" "Stay back!" "This is the smoke stack... if we get across, there should be an exit down there." "Chill, hold the stairs." "Ben Sir!" "We found an opening buried in the rubble." "That should lead to the smoke stack inside." "But be careful, it may collapse." "Come on!" "USAR is here!" "Tell them to start stabilization now." "We need to go in ASAP." "Kin, give us a hand." "Coming!" "Come over here!" "I'll hold this end, but not for long." "Hurry!" "Paper jet plane?" "Paper jet plane?" ""We are in the canteen."" "Be careful!" "Be careful!" "Steady..." "Sam Sir, there's an exit!" "Come on!" "Chill!" "Let's go!" "Hurry!" "Send more men in!" "Tarn Sir!" "We found an underground passage under the rubble." "Stabilization will be done in 15 minutes and we can go in." "What's the situation with Sam?" "We lost contact with him." "Follow me!" "Are you OK?" "Can you walk?" "I'm fine!" "Sam, do you copy?" "Sam!" "Tarn Sir, this is Sam." "We're coming out with injured parties from underneath the C3 smoke stack, over!" "Good job, Sam!" "There's light!" "Maybe this is the way out." "Tam Sir, I see the exit!" "We've your location." "But there's still a danger of collapse." "Urban Search and Rescue is working to stabilize it, just hang on!" "Can't Wait!" "Chill is still inside!" "Throw me a few BAs!" "BAs, please!" "Just wait 15 minutes for backup." "We're fire-fighters, we don't trade one life for another." "Please, Sir!" "No!" "Sir, give me a BA." "Wait for backup!" "Give me a BA!" "Sir, I promised Chill I'll go back." "Kin, grab the BA!" "Kin, take them out." "Yes, Sir!" "Don't ever believe what you see in the smoke and darkness." "It will confuse you." "When you're least sure of what to do, you must try the hardest to stay calm." "Only on a calm heart can give you guidance." "Sam Sir, I trust you." "You?" "After what happened today still expect me to trust you?" "Just like quit smoking, don't panic, don't run away." "Just be yourself." "You'll get everyone out." "But to save lives, we must first overcome the smoke!" "Where is Water?" "Have you seen Water?" "Water!" "Water!" "Water!" "Water!" "Water!" "Dad!" "You scared Dad to death!" "OK?" "OK OK?" "Where were you?" "I tried to contact you..." "Smart kid!" "Thank you!" "No, thank your son." "I was lost, he brought me here." "There's no return, we must find another way out." "Anyone here?" "Yes!" "Over here!" "Slowly..." "Come on." "Over here!" "Help them..." "Hurry!" "It's collapsing!" "Be careful, buddy!" "Help people behind me." "Hurry up and get them out!" "Leave that to us." "Sam!" "It's falling!" "Get out!" "Tarn Sir, the last entry point has caved in." "There's no other way." "Why no other way?" "I can't watch Sam die." "There must be a way." "I know." "But the stack effect has spread inside." "Without air, they only have a few minutes." "Well?" "No exit, just a store room." "There are the sound of rain and wind, we must be very close to the outside." "Dad, there's no more air." "The BA has no air, we've no time." "Let's hack our way out!" "Chill!" "That'll take time." "Sooner, we're out of air." "Remember the flour factory a year ago?" "Dust explosion." "Let's try to blast our way out." "We're in a heated and enclosed area." "If we scatter flour all over the room, let the powder particles react with oxygen, then find a way to ignite it, it'll cause a dust explosion." "Get in!" "Open the door!" "You know what you're doing?" " I don't know!" " Open the door!" "I'm not even sure if this is right or wrong." "Like in the thick smoke, I was scared." "Until I made it through the smoke today," "I realized the things I see inside are much clearer." "Sometimes," "I really admire you." "A simple life." "I picked out a school for you." "This one is good." "After that, take care of it yourself." "Sam!" "Come back!" "Come back!" "Come back!" "Voices..." "There's someone inside save them, hurry!" "Let me help you, Sir." "Where's Sam?" "People like us who are in and out of a fire, our hearts are enshrouded in thick smoke." "You think you can get out, but you really can't." "Whether you're saving someone or being saved," "All the same." "The only way is to coexist with the smoke." "Even in darkness, you must have faith, there will be light always." "Only then, regardless of the situation, we can overcome fear." "Special news report..." "Hong Kong was hit by the largest blackout in the territory's history." "But the typhoon and the blackout did not cause any social disorder or major disaster." "As the strong wind fade down, emergency repair continues," "Hong Kong is back to normal gradually."
