The Centipede is acquitted of the murder charges and goes free. The officer suffocates the Toad and hangs him in the cell to make it look as if he'd committed suicide. Afterwards the Centipede and the Snake kill the witness and the corrupt officer, but the murders are both seen by two of the other policemen, who go to the restaurant and tell the Lizard what happened to the Toad, the witness, and the officer whilst he was gone. The Lizard's supervisor, Chief Constable Ma, tries to encourage him to forget the issue, but the Lizard refuses. Yang identifies the Lizard, teams with him, and together they practice techniques to defeat the others. As Yang and the Lizard prepare to confront the Centipede and the Snake, the Chief Constable arrives seeking to join them.
