Prison on Fire II

Ching escapes from prison with the intention of visiting his son. He discovers Leung has been placed in an orphanage after his grandmother's death, and the social worker refuses to let him take the boy with him. Faced with obstacles, Ching resolves to find a way to reunite with his family.

Leung settles into an orphanage after his grandmother's death, growing up without his father nearby. The social worker's authority keeps Ching from bringing him out for a visit. This separation fuels Ching's renewed determination to reclaim his son.

Ching makes a second escape, determined to follow Boss Dragon who lied about jumping off a cliff to escape. He intends to locate Dragon and rejoin the gang under his own terms. The escape sets him on a dangerous path deeper into prison politics.

Ching is apprehended and brought back to prison under heavy guard. On the way, Officer Zau tortures him, demonstrating the brutal control he wields over prisoners. The torture intensifies the stakes of Ching's struggle to protect his son.

Ching is thrown into the Mainland group cell, where inmates beat him on suspicion that he betrayed Brother Dragon. Skull sharpens a makeshift weapon from a toothbrush and stabs Ching, further brutalizing him. The violence underscores the peril Ching faces inside the prison hierarchy.

Ching convinces Brother Fireball and other cellmates to set a fire in their cell as a means to escape. The plan quickly spirals into a chaotic break for freedom that drags in many inmates. The arson draws the attention of guards and escalates the conflict.

Following the fire, the prisoners assemble outside and Ching yells for help, running toward the Hongkie group for assistance. The move creates a tense shift in loyalties as he seeks a route to safety. A large-scale confrontation begins to form between rival factions.

A violent clash erupts between the Hongkie group and the Mainlanders as guards arrive with water jets to quell the riot. Skull hides inside the canteen, avoiding capture as the chaos rages around him. The fight solidifies the prison's factional lines.

Skull pleads with Officer Zau to open the gate, but Zau refuses, maintaining discipline over the chaos. The refusal traps Skull and his allies behind locked doors, heightening the tension. The stand-off foreshadows a dangerous confrontation to come.

Zau strikes Ching’s arm during the melee, and Ching seizes a sharpened toothbrush to stab Zau in the left eye. Zau screams in pain and collapses, while Ching collapses from the effort and the chaos. The incident lands Ching in a hospital soon after.

Ching wakes in a hospital bed and reads his son's report card, a poignant reminder of what he fights for. His cellmate notes that his son's handwriting isn't bad and that the card contains a message about tolerating hardship. The moment underscores the fragile emotional link between father and child.

Ching is discharged and returned to his cell, with an officer explaining that a witness stood up for him, helping to avert further trouble. The officer's promotion hints at a fragile order returning to the prison. A new superintendent arrives, and a chance encounter hints at possible support for Ching's search for his son.
