Black Suitcase Drop at Hok's Gate

The small black suitcase is the operation's macguffin: physically carried by Bang as the focus of the handoff, it converts the mundane street into a site of clandestine exchange and raises the stakes by making Bang a marked figure while moving toward the palace gate.
