"I started off with that was a counter-terrorist operative and I just happened upon someone who was, and just absorbed as much, just kept texting them throughout the production," Wong revealed."I've got this car. They would text back, 'No, that's an undercover police car. You'd get spotted a mile away.' Gave me a list of cars and we got to change the car and pepper everything around what was in my car to what was in my flat.
