Plot: The opening scene begins in a forested area lashed by heavy rain at night. Amid the thick foliage we see a sniper in camouflage perched in a tree, as he trains his sights at a hut in the forest. Beneath him is another sniper, who sees three men talking outside the hut. The scene shifts to a nearby road where a uniformed police officer, OJ (Edison Chen) was checking some parked vehicles together with his partner. They hear over the radio a description of a suspicious vehicle, and are surprised to discover it at their location. OJ touches the vehicle to see if it is warm, and looks around, spotting a hut in the distance, the same one the snipers are observing. As OJ and his partner approach the hut, the snipers spotted them. One of them, Hartman (Richie Ren) suggests assisting the officers if necessary. His partner, Shan Ge (Bowie Lam) reminds him that they are only on an observation mission and should not reveal themselves. Hartman considers action necessary as the situation has changed unexpectedly.

Two men leaves the hut as the two uniformed officers approach from the side unseen. OJ reminds his nervous partner to turn down his radio, as they peer through a hole on the wall of the hut and sees a man welding a large parang as they discuss over a meal. The two officers tense up and OJ instructs his partner to cover another part of the hut. The partner turns and accidental hits his gear against a pillar causing noise. Without hesitation, OJ advances straight into the hut and tells the hut's occupants to freeze with arms drawn. The thugs respond with parangs drawn, as OJ's partner also enters the hut and both instructs them to put down their arms which they refuse. The officer's calls alerts the two thuds who left the hut earlier., and they return to investigate.

In the standoff, one of the thugs intercepts OJ's partner and holds him hostage with his parang at his neck while ordering OJ to drop his gun. Another two thugs in the hut threaten OJ from the rear. As the situation deteriorates, Hartman informs Shan Ge that he is going in to help. OJ's partner drops his revolver as instructed, which one of the thugs picks up. OJ refuses to drop his weapon, and the thug responds by slashing OJ's partner in the right thigh. He begins to howl in pain as blood bleeds profusely to the floor. Suddenly, Hartman shoots the head of the thug holding the revolver from outside the hut while Shan Ge shoots one of the returning thugs about to ambush OJ from behind. Both the remaining thugs and OJ react in surprise.
