Impermanent

After an unsuccessful arrest, both parties regarded the investigation of their respective undercover agents as an important task. The police boss interviewed Billy and asked Billy to be in charge of this matter.

During the conversation, the police boss's concern for Billy's marriage also explains that Billy's wife was also the captain's daughter; this is also one of the important reasons for his promotion: now he is the real golden boy in the police force.

Compared with the police, investigating gangsters is obviously another matter. The suspicion and arbitrariness of the gang boss made him directly decide to empty out all the old subordinates, prevent them from intervening in new deals, and even dig out the inner ghosts.

Colin, deprived of the right to know, had nothing to do. And meeting his ex-girlfriend intensified his longing for a peaceful life. He contacted the police again to find countermeasures.

However, Billy also discovered the meeting between the police officer and Colin and gave the news to the gang. The gang boss sent a message to get someone to catch the undercover, and inside the building, the police officer and Colin were blocked.

Here comes the second climax.

Colin and the police officer tried to leave together but found the passage blocked when they reached the stairs. The gang was about to arrive, and they had to separate and flee.

"I'll take the elevator; you go up." The captain made a quick decision at a critical moment. Seeing Colin walking upstairs, he thought of something again and stopped him again.

"What?" Colin turned around.

The police officer looked at him, waved his hand again, "Let's go."

The police officer here obviously sensed that something was wrong. But he didn't tell Colin. Eric likes the image of this policeman: wisdom, kindness, keenness, and ability. That's what makes a good cop.

Picking up a newspaper, picking up the mobile phone, and talking on the phone, the policeman who was just a moment ago has become a middle-aged office worker full of elegance.

While walking into the elevator. While discussing the change in housing prices, he couldn't find any evil vibes from before.

Even Eric, the audience, couldn't help admiring after seeing this scene: Liam Neeson's acting skills are really outstanding.

The elevator doors gradually closed, and the police officer was about to leave. But just before the elevator door closed, the elevator door was blocked by someone.

The gangsters recognized him.

The camera changed at this time, and Colin, who had escaped, returned here again after going around in a car. He pretended he had just run over and met with the gangsters.

Eric's heart was suspended at this moment: Will he rescue the police officer? Or did the police officer confess to him? How will the plot develop in this place?

But all the suspense broke in an instant. Just a few steps after Colin stepped out of the car, there was a loud noise behind him. Turning around, he was surprised to find that the captain had fallen from the sky, had hit the car, and had died.

Died?

An important person just died like this?

Eric suddenly felt chills all over his body. He couldn't imagine that an important person died so suddenly in the middle of the movie.

Such an important person. He is the leader of the policeman in the whole play. He actually died?

This arrangement was too unexpected. Sudden death. It shocked people too much. Because of the suddenness of this death, Eric was stunned for a long time, and he didn't even take a good look at the shootout scene he had been looking forward to.

If such an important person died, the movie should also enter the climax, right? The death of the captain, who was like his father, must have hit Colin hard. How would he treat the gang? Kill the gang boss to avenge his boss? Or hand over the information he has to the police? Make a catch? What will he do?

This problem has also become a brand new one for Eric, and he wants to know how things will develop.

At this time, Colin was sitting in the car, looking out the window blankly. Eric waited for his explosion, but the younger gangster driving the car kept talking, grabbing the scene. The camera flashed; the gangster was sweaty, and his words seemed a little breathless.

These details made Eric aware of something.

Suddenly, the car hit the fence on the side of the road. The camera pans down, and people see he was shot long ago. The younger gangster was seriously injured, and he drove non-stop from the scene to save his friend.

Still full of excitement just now, Eric felt as if a basin of cold water had poured on his heart. Unexpectedly, such a small trick changed his mind at this moment.

The young gangster, the character played by Phoenix, died just like that.

This is the second important person to die in this movie.

It's very interesting that when the captain died, he was thrown from upstairs and died directly. But when this young gangster, who didn't have much drama before, died, he had many lines.

Obviously, the director has considered the image of the police officer is already complete, and there is no need to highlight it.

Sudden death can make people aware of the impermanence of the world. And the young gangster didn't have a prominent image before, so giving him more weight at this time can make his death meaningful.

Such an arrangement is extremely important to the characters in the play. The accidental death of the captain was a great shock to Colin's heart. It can even be said that with their deep feelings, it is very possible for Colin to directly draw his gun and seek revenge from the gang boss for this.

Colin, in the movie, whether it is the identity of the police or the identity of the gangster, is a profession that advocates violence. If one's close person dies but does not want revenge, it would be too cowardly.

However, the death of a friend in the gang dilutes this feeling. The friend in the gang was still chatting before he died, and he died while saving Colin. His words showed obvious concern, and this kind of emotion cannot be ignored.

On the one hand, the police gave him a lot of concern, but on the other hand, there was also concern from the gang. This kind of concern from two directions made him very confused.

Good guy or bad guy? What is a good guy, and what is a bad guy? The captain is undoubtedly a good person, but are his friends in the gang willing to die for himself, bad people?

If he wants revenge, does he really want to kill them all?

This is a difficult choice, at least for Colin, who has been a gangster for ten years.

The death of the police officer has not yet reflected the huge impact on Colin, but the impact on Billy has already been reflected. He gave the news to the gang boss, intending to help him dig out the undercover agent, but he didn't expect the gang boss to kill the police officer.

He didn't want the captain to die - the two people had been in contact, and their relationship was not bad. He was also heartbroken to see the captain's death.

He began to realize that the greed and cruelty of the gang boss were unimaginable, and doing things with him would only narrow his path.

In a sense, the captain, relying on his charisma and death, inspired the original undercover gangster.

Billy was on the phone with the gang boss again, and this time, when he was talking, he no longer had the respect he had before. On the contrary, the smile that was usually perfunctory to his colleagues began to appear genuine on his face.

Putting down the phone, he also picked up the captain's belongings. He dialed the phone and found Colin on the other end of the phone.

"The captain doesn't want to see you breaking the law. We can cooperate."

Billy said his suggestion on the phone. Colin, who was a little confused because of the deaths of the captain and the young gangster at this time, also grasped this new life-saving straw - catch the gangster boss, bring him to justice, and his own life can be on the right track.

The two people in the movie finally started to cooperate. Through communication with each other, the two of them said that the dead young gangster was an undercover police officer, which relieved the doubts of the gangster boss. Then, Colin reminded the boss that the undercover agent might already know the storage location and let the gang boss set off toward the place where the drugs were stored.

On the other hand, relying on his eloquence, Billy mobilized the mood of the depressed police. He was originally a leader, but at this time, by the name of the dead captain, he united the strength of the entire police department.

An arrest operation took shape again. Unlike the last time, in the previous operation, both sides had their agents under each other's hands, which can be said to be a close confrontation. Still, this time, Billy's betrayal allowed the police to set a perfect trap to lure the mob boss into his trap.

Eric watched the encirclement and suppression operation. In the two-hero movie, the cooperation between the two heroes is ultimately unwilling to be inferior.

Although the boss of the gangster ordered the driver to break through, and his car still rushed out, he knew that he might lose his foundation and become a wanted criminal from now on. Angrily, he picked up the phone, dialed Billy's number, and wanted to ask what was going on.

The phone ringing beside him made the gang boss understand something. Behind the pillar, Billy stepped out, holding a mobile phone in one hand and a pistol in the other, which made the gang boss understand that he was betrayed, and Billy chose his own path.

The gunshots rang out again, and the gang boss fell into the parking lot, betrayed to death.

The bosses of the two undercover agents are dead, and the rest is the story of the two of them. Whoever can step out and struggle will appear soon.

Eric knew it would be the last climax.
