We’ll meet again

Don't know where

Don't know when

But I know we'll meet again

Some sunny day

Keep smiling through

Just like you always do

'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away

So will you please say hello

To the folks that I know

Tell them I won't be long

(Rainbow Bridge Care Home)

Ready for shock!

Don’t touch the patient

Clear!

Looking for someone?

Yes.

Chow Kin-tung, my grandfather.

End of the hallway.

Grandpa.

It's Kay.

Your granddaughter.

Damn!

Now you're dead!

Don't you remember me?

You took me to school when I was little.

I haven't done my homework yet, don't hit me.

Do you like living here?

It's great to be on this boat,

but the waves strike me...

dizzy sometimes.

Have you made any friends here?

I'm his friend.

Shui!

What's going on?

She said she's my grandpa.

No...

He's my grandpa.

I'm his granddaughter, Kay.

Don't deceive me, I've got no money.

His mind is slipping,

so he talks nonsense sometimes.

Sit on your bed.

Hurry.

I...

have a granddaughter, too.

She's getting married soon.

Congratulations.

Hello Missy!

Hello Missy!

Good morning, Warden!

Warden!

Morning!

Hi.

How can I help you?

I'm Tung's granddaughter.

There's a dead mouse in his room.

I'll deal with it in a bit.

You're a good granddaughter.

Our residents rarely get family visits.

You seem understaffed here.

We've always been understaffed,

but that's OK.

We're like a family.

Don't take in so many if you're understaffed.

I see the old, the crippled,

even the mentally challenged are here.

It's difficult for people like us to find care homes to live in.

If I could...

I'd accommodate more.

As long as my grandfather is happy here.

Don't worry.

Grandpa Tung.

has been in our care for...

Ten years now.

If you don't mind me asking...

why haven't I seen you all these years?

I moved to Canada with my family when I was little.

Ah, Canada!

The care homes there are well-equipped.

I'll be staying in Hong Kong for a while.

I'm free anyway, is it okay if I come over and help?

Sure!

Great, I'll let the staff know.

Kids!

This missy will come take care of you.

-Thank you. -Thank you!

Have some ice cream!

Thank you, Warden!

Hey.

Use a spoon.

I have told you repeatedly…

Thank you, missy!

Ling!

Thank you.

Ling.

Be good.

Here, use a spoon.

Put it down.

Use a spoon.

You know, they're not that scary.

Move it!

Ashes to ashes...

Did someone die?

Did someone die?

Ever seen a living person need funeral rites?

Be quiet.

I was just worried about you.

People are either living or dying.

It's no big deal...

Who are you?

Ming!

Shut up!

Three!

Two!

-Shut it! -Stop!

They won't listen if I don't hit them.

Get over here!

Gonna shut up now?

Gonna shut up now?

Shut up!

Are you Ming?

How old are you?

Do you get hit often?

Say thank you.

You're welcome, you're welcome, you're welcome...

You're welcome.

Need help?

Get outta here.

You're in the way.

These are long expired.

It just says "best before".

The news says they're edible.

You believe everything the merchants say?

Excuse me

-Let me help... -It's OK.

Do you work here?

The hell I do!

I live here.

I only help out when I'm free.

I saw you sweeping the floor

and cooking.

I'll be here quite often.

Let me know if you need anything.

Let's see if you're still here next week.

Do you need help?

This is what you generally eat?

Are you new here?

Are you hungry?

Go queue up.

Sam.

"Seven" means misfortune.

Gimme one more.

No.

"Seven" is only for the dead ones.

You're almost there.

Eat...

or you don't get to eat.

I'll have it if you don't want it.

It's dirty, don't eat it.

Have an orange, OK?

Your professor referred you here to screw you over.

A girl like you...

should join the Miss Hong Kong pageant.

No one cares about the Miss Hong Kong pageant anymore.

No one cares about the news, either.

Hey.

Why don't you become an entertainment reporter?

I think investigative journalists have a greater mission.

Mission?

We may be gone in three years.

Let me introduce everyone.

That's Leung behind you.

This is Kay.

Our legendary "Queen of Undercover" in the field.

Don't piss her off,

she won't even show respect to me.

Shut Up.

Miss Kay.

You're new?

Just graduated last year,

I want to learn from you.

This isn't a school.

Don't worry about her.

Leung.

Tell Jess what we're covering.

Two weeks ago,

we got an anonymous tip...

revealing that persons with disabilities are abused in this care home.

Kay has been an undercover there for a few days.

I spoke to a former nurse of Rainbow Bridge Care Home.

There's an old man with fuzzy head.

I posed as his granddaughter.

Recorded these footage in these few days.

Ming!

Shut up!

Three! Two! Shut it!

What do you think?

I think...

kids...

evil nurse...

abuse, everything's there.

So?

It's not shocking enough.

Since 2001...

when the Social Welfare Department (SWD) implemented the Lump Sum Grant System,

they have also outsourced their responsibilities too.

They'll call this an "individual case".

It's a huge business.

We can't see a full picture yet.

Let's aim at the system.

Jess, follow them and assist them.

I'll talk to the lawmakers I know...

to find other perspectives.

Jess...

dig through the old files and integrate the info.

We're speaking up for the weak and poor this time.

Show me some sense of mission.

Mission?

I just want awards and a raise.

Don't say that in front of the rookie.

She is still an idealist.

Dismissed.

There is a budget cut by the Board.

The newspaper unit will be made redundant soon, too.

The investigative team…

will be the first to go.

Are you sure this case can cause a commotion?

This topic doesn't interest the boss.

Weren't you just talking about a sense of mission?

And now we have to cater the boss' preferences?

Say that to the rookie.

Damn you.

(This care home has escaped public scrutiny,)

(and the Social Welfare Department appears to turn a blind eye.)

Don't you have a key?

Thought you might be up to something.

Whatever.

Your grandfather finally...

got a niche at the columbarium.

Where?

Wo Hop Shek.

It's a bit far.

He liked to be quiet.

I told you he was a Christian,

what's with the incense?

Just in case.

Who knows if he is in heaven?

Once I'm done dealing with this,

I can go back to Zhongshan.

Your room's still here,

why do you have to go back?

Do you want me to stay with you?

See? I knew it.

I know you well.

You can have more space.

I won't get in your way.

Don't hit me.

It'll be quick.

Be good.

Tie up his hands.

Fong.

I can handle.

Tie up and stop yapping!

We're doing this...

for their own good.

Good morning, Fong!

Good morning, Nurse Ho!

I'll come again

Hey, Sam!

What a coincidence!

Going back to the care home?

I'll drive you.

Don't want to bother you.

You can't film me!

Delete it, or I'll sue you!

I haven't yet reported you for stealing.

I didn't steal from Tung.

Don't be nervous.

I'll start recording,

just answer whatever I ask.

Oh I get it.

You're a reporter.

What do I get out of it?

Gimme more, man.

I'm just a helper.

They don't pay me.

There’re 70 to 80 residents in the care home,

but I've only seen you and two other staff.

How many caretakers are there in total?

There are two full-timers.

The able-bodied ones like me will help out

to save some costs.

How much do you pay each month?

I pay them my government allowances,

by direct debit.

You give them everything?

Otherwise?

I reviewed the death records.

Why are the numbers off?

They call for voluntary first aiders…

to avoid calling the Emergency.

What do you mean?

Calls to the Emergency will go on the formal records,

and the care home will be accountable.

Calls to voluntary first aiders aren't recorded,

so the care home is off the hook.

People just let it slide.

There’re not enough care homes in Hong Kong.

We'd be homeless if they stick to the rules.

What else do you wanna ask?

Write down the care home's door passcode.

Don't snitch on me.

I'll really get thrown out.

Okay, thanks.

Get out.

Come out!

Come out now!

You want to play?

Come out!

How dare you take my stuff!

Come out now!

Come out now!

You want to play?

Think it's a toy?

Wanna play with it?

Let's play.

What would you like?

-Iced coffee, please. -OK.

I heard about the layoffs.

Have they fired you?

If I called to meet, it means I'm still employed.

I have a bunch of complaints about abuses in disabled care homes.

How does the SWD handle them?

Usually warning letters,

or advisory letters will be issued.

This private care home is unlicensed.

Only with an exemption certificate.

I discovered that many care homes do the same.

Is that usual?

Guess how long the wait is...

to get a place in a subsidized disabled care home?

The SWD website says 7 to 8 years.

15 years, for minimum.

Care homes have always been short of supply.

The SWD doesn't want to take up this responsibility,

so it outsources to the private market.

Thanks.

So they don't want to be accountable,

but they want to make money from it.

While we're having a drink...

with air conditioning and sheltered...

this booth is more spacious than the beds in many care homes.

Lots of care homes...

may have substandard facilities,

but the SWD chose to exempt them.

With over 1,000 complaints and...

all the controversies,

how many licenses has the SWD revoked?

After all this time...

After all this time...

None.

(Daily Schedule)

(Shower Time (Wednesdays))

Hey.

What're you doing?

I'm thinking of...

an easier way to die.

Are you mad or what?

Right, you're not well.

That's a smartphone.

You know how to use it?

What foam?

Fatso Wah left it after he died.

Don’t want to waste it.

You tap away all day.

Who are you trying to call?

Lemme see.

There's no SIM card,

how can your family call you?

I grew up in a squatter below the Lion Rock.

There was no electricity, no phone lines.

People ran up the mountain...

to find my Mom for mahjong.

People will find you if they mean to,

who needs a phone?

Don't smoke so much.

Aren’t you smoking, too?

My time is running out.

What am I afraid of?

Hey!

Why'd you give me a cigarette?!

I've quitted!

Sure...

Good morning.

Good morning, missy.

Morning.

What are you drawing?

Ming.

What's wrong?

Be good.

Who did this to you?

Was it done with this stapler?

Was it?

What do you do when someone hurts you?

You resist!

You have to fight back.

Get it?!

How do you resist? Fight!

Fight!

That's right.

Good.

If I hit you now, what’ll you do?

There are a lot of assholes in the world.

Assholes.

If this care home qualifies for a license,

the government will pay for a hundred more quotas.

That's millions more for us to make.

More beds?

Sounds good.

I mentioned we needed more manpower last time,

when's that happening?

Later.

As usual,

when the SWD does an inspection,

I'll send a few more nurses to help out.

When will the advertisement be shot?

Tomorrow.

That ad can draw business,

make sure it's decent.

All right.

Our name, Rainbow Bridge Care Home...

reflects our values...

in believing the importance of "home".

We may not be biologically related,

but we are as close...

as a family.

The donations we received...

will be used to pay for...

new recreational facilities for the care home.

Our residents love to sing.

Be happy! Clap your hands!

Look at this and sing.

"Ding Ding Ding"

"Ding Ding Ding"

"People sings everywhere"

"With good old pals"

"We're so happy"

Kay.

I found that

Cheung taught swimming at a school for the visually impaired.

He also joined the Paralympics,

so he's a star coach.

Later, he became a warden of a disabled care home.

But he transferred thrice within a few years,

until he founded Rainbow Bridge.

He's been there for a decade now.

So?

Do you have the names of the three care homes?

I do.

Why haven't you looked into those?

Do I have to guide you each and every step?

So, go.

I'll look into them.

Hey.

Stop shouting at the rookie,

you'll scare them off.

That's not my problem.

Ten years from now...

will journalism still exist?

Newspapers will be gone,

but journalists will remain.

You seem sure.

Of course.

It's simple.

No matter...

what time we live in,

people will still pursue the truth.

Ah-ha...you graduated the same year as her?

Excuse me.

Do you know Cheung Kim-wah?

Who are you?

I'm a reporter from A1 News.

I have some questions for you.

They won't take long.

Why did Cheung...

get transferred three times?

Why did you resign after his last transfer?

No comment.

You're a certified health worker.

Why'd you leave the field...

I'm warning you, go away!

You won't get the answer you're looking for.

Warden Cheung cares about his residents.

Get it?

Call me...

if you think of anything.

Kay.

In your years as a journalist...

Have you had a case that...

really pissed you off?

No.

I haven't shed a single tear.

When you work your ass off on a story,

and the assholes get to walk away scot-free...

you'll stop feeling for it.

You get numb.

Hey.

Today's the big day,

why're you here?

I don't have an outfit.

Forget it.

Don't bother looking.

There's none here.

How can you miss...

your granddaughter's wedding?

What?

Take this.

This, too.

Keep them clean!

Got it!

Looking good.

Really?

Want me to walk you in?

Nah, I can go in myself.

Shui, bring back the leftovers!

It's OK, we'll go eat.

Bring 'em back!

When did you last leave the care home?

I want to...

see cargo ships.

Sure, I'll take you later.

-Fine... -Leave!

Why'd you come here?!

I... But...

Did Lynn invite you?!

No, no

-She didn't invite me. -Grandpa.

I said not to invite him!

Why'd you send him an invitation?

It's been years!

Why can't you get over it?!

What's wrong?

Nothing,

I've been a bother.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Sorry?

Why didn't you say that 40 years ago?

30 years ago?

Why wait 'til today,

when it’s supposed to be my happiest day?

That's not my intention.

I'll stay out,

so go back inside. I'm sorry.

I don't need your apology.

Tell it to Mom after you die!

Don't let him in.

If I see him again, I'll call the cops!

It's time for the ceremony, please go inside.

Please go inside.

It's time for the ceremony.

Come...

Sorry about that.

Don’t you want to see the ocean?

Why are you looking up?

When I was a sailor...

I always looked around from the ship...

not knowing when I'll go ashore again.

Now I'm on dry land...

what else is there to hope for?

Take a photo of me.

One, two, three.

With the harbor in it.

One, two, three.

Why did Wah have a photo filter app? So funny.

You must be happy.

Kay's a good granddaughter.

Aah.

I wish I really...

did have a granddaughter.

You're lucky,

you got to see yours get married.

You can die happy.

Aah.

I felt so tired...

the past few days.

I felt exhausted.

When I lied in bed,

it felt like I was sinking...

I thought I'd never wake up again.

Next thing you know...

When I woke up...

there you are again.

I heard that...

the moment right before a person dies,

it feels like...

waves hitting your feet...

until they finally go above your head.

Then,

whoosh!

Aah.

I hope that my death...

could be as comfortable.

Ah?

Your granddaughter's back.

Why would you want to die now?

By the way...

does she have a boyfriend?

If she gets married,

make sure...

to invite me to the banquet.

Miss!

Who are you here for?

She is a family member of a resident.

Nurse Wong, she is transferred here to help.

We're done, this is just protocol.

Your report will be fine.

That's good to know, thanks.

Hey.

How are you?

What's going on outside?

It's so clean.

Is he ill?

Shui.

Shui.

Shui!

Shui isn't breathing!

Escort them out first.

Go!

You knew?

He's fine. He's just asleep.

It's a man's life!

I didn't stop you...

from taking him outside yesterday.

Don't cause any trouble.

Death is common in here.

This is the 6th case in 6 months.

Ever thought of moving elsewhere?

They're all the same.

Remember.

If you see me dying...

don't save me.

Do you have a family?

You're my family.

Don't smoke so much.

Go back.

You can’t come here.

Come pay your respect to your grandpa.

I'm busy.

Father-in-law.

You'll be moving soon.

The feng shui is great there.

If you're happy with it,

bless our family.

Make sure Kay...

doesn't get obsessed with work.

So she can find a good husband.

Say something to your grandpa.

What's there to say?

You two barely talked when he was alive.

Not like he could hear.

When I'm older,

you'll get it.

Don't worry,

I'll be better to you than you were to him.

Was I bad to him?

I cover his spendings every month.

So what?

If he wasn't in a care home,

would he kill himself?

What's wrong with care homes?

He had a place to live,

isn't that good enough?

He was unwanted and transferred around.

Don't blame me.

Blame your dad for dying young.

Blame your aunt and uncle, too.

Great.

So I don't need care about you if you leave for Zhongshan.

Yeah, I don't need you.

I'm perfectly happy in my hometown.

I'm not like your grandpa,

I won't beg for help.

Just stop,

these are all excuses.

You see him as a burden to you.

He was a burden.

So am I!

People become a burden to others when they get old!

I was good to your grandpa!

I've been good to you!

I'm guilt-free.

If you cared so much,

why didn't you voice out?

"The SWD and care homes in collusion"

"Care homes are like hell on earth"

Gotta hold this one.

Hold?

Why?

Is this not shocking enough?

Is the Management stopping you?

Or because you're a chicken?

These are serious accusations.

Have you fact-checked?

I saw it with my own eyes.

Do you have photos?

Did she identify herself as a staff from the SWD?

Or were you guessing?

I'll add "suspected of".

Are you insane?!

Is this a content farm to you?!

If we don't reveal the truth,

we will become an accomplice!

News without evidence cannot be reported.

That would be misleading, lady!

You think you can change the world?

You're just a reporter!

What's that?

Hey.

High-tech stuff, it's beyond you.

Help me check something.

What?

6 people died within 8 months at Rainbow Bridge.

This is the resident list.

Identify those 6 for me.

OK.

It's Winter Solstice, get your ass home.

Is it today?

(Mom)

What the hell?

Looks good on me?

Hey, I'm bailing early.

Dinner's on me.

What's the catch?

Can two people finish all that?

That's all we're eating?

It's for the care home residents.

Damn… Gotta work overtime.

I knew it!

Think of food that are easy to chew.

I should get chicken for Winter Solstice, right?

Oh, chicken leg.

Come on.

Are you getting over the line?

You're acting like his real granddaughter.

Gotta go all the way to get intel.

Yeah, really.

Do you sell SIM cards?

No.

Can we reimburse these?

Sam.

Please help distribute the food.

Distribute?

Guys, come and eat.

Come and eat.

Get over here.

Come and eat.

Thank you.

It's hot.

Eat up.

Shui.

Have a chicken leg.

Let Shui eat first.

Will you keep coming?

I will.

Missy, have this.

Don't eat too much,

it's my holiday treat.

Sometimes I can't tell if you're really senile.

You're the senile one.

Coming here and calling me grandpa.

Lemme tell ya...

in a place like this,

it's better to be senile.

How can you stay in a place like this?

It's not bad.

I'm sheltered,

and I stay off the streets.

You sound quite sane.

Why would you stay here?

When someone turns old...

he becomes a burden.

When I first started working...

I visited my grandpa quite often.

But soon later, I'd keep telling him...

"I'll come in a few days."

Turns out when something's gone,

you can't get it back.

When I visited him...

he asked me to buy him Koala Crackers, too.

Turns out it's not him who liked it.

He remembered I liked it when I was little.

He remembered everything about his grandkids.

Why'd he need to remember all that?

I miss him a lot.

Having someone to miss...

is a blessing.

Hey, time to work.

Hi, I'm a reporter of A1 News.

Have you seen these...

Excuse me,

have you heard of Rainbow Bridge...

Hi, I want to ask...

did Lam Yuet-wah die on June 13th...

in hospital after being sent...

from Rainbow Bridge Care Home?

All right, thanks.

Excuse me

Have you seen how Rainbow Bridge Care Home

bathe its residents?

I have.

Why didn't you do anything?

I've complained many times,

but no one cared.

And did Leung Wai-fun die in hospital...

after being sent from Rainbow Bridge Care Home?

Also, did Ho Kwun die on July 22nd...

in hospital after being sent...

from Rainbow Bridge Care Home?

Staffing is the biggest problem.

Two nurses...

looking after over 80 residents.

I have no idea what to do sometimes.

This is how you bathe them?

Did you ever consider their dignity?

Yes!

And because I did,

I don't want to do this anymore.

I want to be a human again.

I want to treat them like humans again.

I sent these photos...

anonymously to many newspapers.

But no one cared.

I didn't expect you'd investigate.

I haven't felt this relieved for a long time.

("Dignity at What Price?")

The SWD...

has outsourced everything.

Including its responsibilities.

Supervision...

has no impact at all.

("Dignity at What Price: Disabled Care Home Unsupervised")

Go away!

Do you bathe them like that every day?

Why did you do that?

How do you feel about this incident, Mr Shek?

It's clear that the care home doesn't care about the disabled.

They just treat them as gold mines.

Is this an individual case, or a trend?

These things have always existed.

What's the matter with you?

The investors are pulling out!

I told the board...

to wait for the noise to die down.

We'll reopen with a new name.

Was the SWD aware of this the whole time, Director?

-Please respond! -Director!

The discovery about...

Rainbow Bridge Care Home bathing naked disabled residents...

outdoors on the roof...

has shocked the public.

Some groups strongly condemn the incident,

and demand legislators to intervene.

Residents were tied to wheelchairs

and pushed to the roof,

then had their pants taken off.

They were even forced to go to the toilet on stools.

-What? -Ling Hiu Kay...

All of Hong Kong is talking about our scoop.

We've won.

Hey.

Kay.

Make him give us raises.

Congratulations.

It's been a while since we've had a story this staggering.

The management says...

the Investigative Unit can stay.

It's just a little longer, what's the difference?

It is different.

It's better than nothing.

Will you stay?

Humans are forgetful.

They won’t remember what we’ve done in a few days.

As long as someone remembers,

a few days are enough.

Kay.

You can't change this world.

In the past 20 years,

I've done all kinds of features...

that made lots of headlines.

But has the world changed?

Has it got better?

A good turn...

doesn't necessarily deserve another.

What goes around…

doesn't always come around.

We, as journalists...

must learn to detach.

You'll hurt yourself…

if you get too involved.

I've read your article.

You have something to add?

Nothing you do will make a difference.

Maybe it will this time.

They get away every time.

Everyone knew what was going on...

but did anyone care?

Maybe it's true no one cares.

Maybe everything before was in vain.

But maybe things will change this time.

Warden Cheung...

really..."loves" his residents

Do you get it?

Come in first.

Come in, be good.

Don't move.

Sit down.

Have an ice cream.

How'd your nail get chipped.

Look.

Come, come.

Lemme have it, it's OK.

Warden is under a lot of pressure.

People out there don't know it.

They don't understand.

Does Ling understand?

Your ear hasn't been cleaned in a while.

Let's clean your ear.

We'll clean your ear first.

It's been a long time.

Kay.

I found something.

Warden Cheung was transferred thrice...

all due to allegations of sexual abuse of residents.

But the charges were withdrawn because of...

contradictory testimonies.

He got away all three times?

It's so dirty.

Thank you.

Don't move.

I'm not done.

Thank you.

Don't move.

Have some ice cream.

Here.

Ming, what are you doing here?

Come.

I'll get you some food.

You can't be here.

Let's go.

Come on.

Go.

Move!

Sit down, be good.

Come.

Ling is good.

Come on.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Ling is good...

Don't move.

Be good.

Don't move.

Ming liked to paint.

He painted, whatever his mood was.

He didn't know much else.

He may not know how to accept gifts in the afterlife.

I'm worried he'll be bullied there.

He's smart.

He can protect himself.

To be honest, his death...

took a chip off my shoulder.

Maybe...

I'd been waiting for this day...

for this relief.

Am I a shitty person?

Is anyone here?

Mrs Wong?

Stop making a racket.

Is Ling there?

Come in first.

Was Ling sexually abused in the care home?

Don't say that.

No such thing happened.

Then why’d you take her home?

I know you're a good person.

I know you care about my daughter.

I promise.

I won't send her back.

You have to testify.

Or that scum won't get charged.

I don't want my daughter to relive her pain.

But if you don't stand up...

more people will get hurt.

I just want to stay out of it.

Call me selfish.

Giving birth to Ling...

already puts me in her debt.

I don't want the world

to mock my daughter.

It wasn't your fault.

How so?

It was my fault.

I shouldn't have left her in that care home.

I shouldn't have gone to work.

Can you tell me if...

-Good morning! -Good morning

Can you tell me...

on December 27th, 2015...

All right, sit down first.

What happened in the care home, Ling?

Ice...

Ice cream.

You want ice cream?

Did someone want to give you ice cream?

Who gave you ice cream?

Who gave you ice cream?

Warden Cheung.

What happened after Warden Cheung gave you ice cream?

Ling is good.

Do you need a lawyer?

No.

I’m sure it’s just a resident who misspoke.

It's not the first time.

Yeah.

Why does this keep happening to you?

You don't know the residents well.

Their minds aren't clear.

Their way of speaking...

isn't easily understood.

This tissue...

was found in your trash bin.

It is stained with your semen.

In order to take care of the residents,

I always stay over in the care home.

I've always had...

wet dreams...

So I keep some tissues in my pants.

The victim's DNA is also on it.

Care to explain that?

They're mischievous. They play in my office...

and go through my trash bin.

Hence...

the misunderstanding.

If they are afraid of me,

why are they so attached to me?

I just played ball with him last week...

I'm a reporter, Ling Hiu Kay. I have some questions.

Sorry, I'm busy...

It'll take only 5 minutes!

I'm on Ling Wong's case.

You represent the Department of Justice (DOJ).

I can't tell you anything about the case.

Off the record! I'm not here for work.

I just want justice for Ling.

I have no comment on Ling's case.

In 2004...

the first case

I got from DOJ was also sexual abuse.

The victim also had moderate retardation.

The defendant...

was also Cheung Kim-wah.

Usually, family members...

won't let victims take the stand.

Subsequently, prosecution has no case.

But the victim did testify in 2004.

Why'd he go free?

Think about it.

The victims have an IQ of a child.

In court,

their testimonies are easily challenged

in cross-examination.

The current system doesn't allow video testimonies

because hearsay evidence isn't admissible in court.

How else can he be taken down?

You'll need very strong circumstantial evidence.

But all these years,

the cases were all settled out of court.

Settlement?

With what?

Money.

What money can make up for?

You find it absurd?

These things happen every day.

And they'll keep happening.

All right, go back to work.

Why don't you take a break?

I'll get someone to take over for a while.

Which one of you actually...

takes care of the residents?

Which one of you remembers their names?

What right do you have to replace me?!

I've been exhausted by pressure from the press.

I want to take this chance to clarify this incident.

Sure, I have some questions for you, too.

Sure.

I saw a lot of dolls in your office.

And many female residents have rabbit dolls, too.

Were they all from you?

Yes.

I bought them.

They all like dolls.

Did you use those dolls to seduce them?

They can't sit still.

So I use dolls to catch their attention...

to listen to me when I tell them stories.

Do you treat all residents as your dolls?

No one wants them.

I'm the only one who takes them in.

I truly treasure them.

What and why are you pretending?

You're the one pretending.

You posed as Tung's granddaughter...

and disrupted our lives.

Calm down, Kay.

He wants us to smear him.

So that he can defend by saying…

the media influenced the trial in court.

I'm the only one who cares about them.

All you care about is your scoop.

I was born with defective vision.

My parents sent me to a school for the visually impaired

and left me there.

But I survived it.

I worked hard to build a home for them.

I want to help them.

They've been prejudiced for their whole lives, like me.

Because of you,

my family is destroyed.

You see the care home as your domain,

but lemme tell you,

you're nothing out there!

You're just a prick condoned by the system!

It's easy to take the moral high ground.

It's easy to criticize, too.

I don't blame you for that.

Because you don't know...

how lonely disabled persons are...

and how helpless they are in the world.

It was their families and this society...

who abandoned them.

Little lady.

Why haven't you been around?

I've been busy.

Why do you sleep with the phone?

I want to show you something.

But I didn't know how to send it to you.

What is it? Lemme see.

Take it with you.

It's all you own.

Take it.

Look at it when you're free.

Court!

Case number DCCC923 / 2015

Defendant Cheung Kim-wah

is charged with

illegal sexual conduct with a mentally incapacitated person.

You may proceed.

Your Honor...

the DOJ has taken careful consideration.

To protect the victim,

it withdraws the prosecution against the defendant.

The prosecution has no alternative

but to drop the charge against the defendant.

It is this court's opinion...

that luck is on the defendant's side...

but a misfortune for the victim and society.

He's coming...

The judge said luck was on your side,

but it was a misfortune...

for the victim and society. Any comment?

For all these years...

I've treated the residents as my family.

Because of the media's judgements before trial,

I became the victim of false reporting.

Today's judgment is...

justice for me.

What do you have to say to the victim?

I'm the victim here.

I will apply for costs to recover my legal fees

for this unreasonable prosecution

and I will sue the irresponsible media for compensation.

What are your plans?

I will continue to run my care home...

to serve more who’re in need...

to help them.

Mr. Poon, Miss Ling has been waiting.

Okay.

Miss Ling.

You have enough evidence.

Why'd you drop the charge?

Several doctors assessed that Ling is unfit to testify.

A girl with an IQ of 6 years old was sexually abused!

And your response is to drop the charge?

The video was shot through frosted glass,

nothing was clearly visible.

The circumstantial evidence is inadequate.

The main point is Ling suffers from PTSD.

She's unfit to testify.

The assessment said seeing Cheung...

would make her conditions worse.

So before the law,

the worst gets away the easiest?

Our judicial system values reasonable doubt.

We've spent years building these systems.

Now you're telling me that none of them...

can protect a little girl.

No one should be subject to double jeopardy.

Withdrawing this time,

means he can be prosecuted again.

Yes, we've let him go for now,

but at least Ling can resume normal life.

Ling...

has never lived a normal life.

Hey.

I'm done with the draft.

Send it to me in the morning.

I'm planning to quit.

For another paper?

Or...

I'm quitting newspapers.

Driver, gimme a sec.

It's for the best.

Newspapers will soon be gone anyway.

My friend's firm needs a publicist.

Do you want a referral?

No.

I'm just quitting newspapers.

As long as I want to pursue the truth,

I can be a reporter anywhere.

Still acting so stubborn at your age.

You have to learn to compromise.

Well, not necessarily compromise.

Being flexible will do.

Last time, you said...

what goes around,

not necessarily comes around.

I thought about it.

Even if that's true...

I’ll still choose justice and kindness.

You...

Ah, screw you.

Chai Wan, please.

(My late grandfather, Ling Yuk Fung.)

Cut the formalities.

Quit complaining.

You do your way, I do mine.

Now that your grandpa's settled,

I'm going back to Zhongshan.

This morning, the Social Welfare Department

held a press conference about

revoking Rainbow Home Care Home's exemption.

SWD's director said

the care home has been notified

and it has one week

to decide whether to appeal.

Hello?

Yeah.

I'll be right there.

SWD announced the

revocation of Rainbow Bridge's exemption

which is the first decision of its kind.

But the SWD added that

this was unrelated to Cheung's case.

Rainbow Bridge has announced that

it accepts the SWD's decision and

all 79 residents will move out.

You bitch!

You...

It was your fault!

How dare you come here!

Are you happy now?!

Shithead!

Because of you, we're all homeless!

You shit-stirrer!

I'm sorry.

In life, there are many things we can't choose.

Not many know how to choose.

There are even fewer who choose right.

Remember...

don't feel guilty about something you've done right.

You'll be able to find me now.

Chow Kin-Tung.

It’s time to go!

Wait for me, missy!

We’ll meet again.

Don't know where.

Don't know when.

But I know we'll meet again.

Some sunny day.

Keep smiling through.

Just like you always do.

'Til the blue skies drive the dark clouds far away.
