‫(Episode 7)

‫(This is a work of fiction.)

‫He's Mr. Kwan.

‫He will be handling your case.

‫- Is that lawyer really free? ‫- Yes.

‫The clerk will ‫read out your charges.

‫Then the judge will ask you ‫if you understand the charges.

‫If you do, just say "I understand."

‫- But I really didn't... ‫- That's enough.

‫Just tell the judge "I understand" ‫when you're up there.

‫That's all for today's procedure.

‫I want to explain it to the judge.

‫The police got the wrong guy. ‫I didn't steal any money.

‫I've never even been to that hotel.

‫I was sick at home. I...

‫Okay, I understand.

‫Nothing good comes for free.

‫Presenting Exhibit P8,

‫Ho Mei Yee's phone records.

‫Admitted.

‫The first call lasted 15 seconds.

‫The second was 17 seconds.

‫I didn't make that call!

‫Hurry up and refute him!

‫Why don't you give ‫the second defendant some paper...

‫and let him write down ‫what he wants to say to you?

‫Understood.

‫You only remember that the person ‫you argued with in the lobby...

‫was a bearded South Asian man ‫wearing a red jersey.

‫You aren't certain ‫it was the second defendant.

‫Do you agree?

‫I disagree.

‫(He's lying.)

‫Next, I will call an expert witness.

‫He is an expert in gait recognition.

‫He is currently a professor...

‫at the Department ‫of Information Engineering...

‫at the Central South University ‫School of Engineering...

‫in Hong Kong.

‫He specializes ‫in gait recognition technology.

‫Your Honor, I would like ‫to ask the second defendant...

‫to step forward.

‫Granted.

‫Please walk back and forth ‫a few times.

‫That's enough. Thank you.

‫Please explain ‫what these data represent.

‫Walking seems ‫like a very simple task,

‫but it actually involves ‫the central nervous system,

‫body balance,

‫and complex coordination ‫of the limbs.

‫Each person's gait cycle,

‫including initial contact, ‫loading response,

‫mid-stance, ‫terminal swing, and so on,

‫all have unique characteristics.

‫By comparing ‫the crime scene footage...

‫with the footage we just recorded,

‫we can determine ‫if they are the same person.

‫So your conclusion is...

‫They are the same person.

‫No more questions.

‫When you were filming ‫the second defendant just now,

‫was one take enough?

‫- No other angles needed? ‫- No.

‫The defendant's gait was ‫clearly captured just now.

‫So shooting it ‫horizontally like this...

‫is the best angle ‫for analysis, correct?

‫Yes.

‫In other words,

‫the high angle of the CCTV is ‫not ideal?

‫The footage just now ‫provided sufficient data.

‫Then I'd like to ask,

‫will the camera angle ‫affect the results?

‫Yes, but it doesn't matter ‫in this case.

‫Assuming both clips were ‫taken from the best angles,

‫is the computer's accuracy ‫100 percent?

‫It can only reach 98 percent.

‫Even with the best angle,

‫is there still ‫a 2 percent error rate?

‫No test result in the world...

‫is 100 percent accurate.

‫Since it's not 100 percent accurate,

‫it's possible ‫that it's not the same person.

‫Do you agree?

‫I cannot completely ‫rule out that possibility.

‫But the chance is very slim.

‫Is this CCTV footage...

‫sufficient for analysis?

‫Yes.

‫And the angle of this footage...

‫won't affect the result?

‫Yes, that's right.

‫The Avalon Hotel lobby.

‫Inside elevator number two.

‫The floor of Room 821.

‫And these last few photos...

‫show the streets ‫from the Avalon Hotel...

‫to the second defendant's home.

‫All the CCTV footage ‫caught the defendant...

‫wearing a red Red Devils jersey,

‫a black crossbody bag,

‫black sweatpants, and gray sneakers.

‫Next, please describe...

‫the search of ‫the second defendant's home.

‫When we apprehended ‫the second defendant,

‫we searched his residence.

‫Soon after, in a plastic box,

‫we found 123,500 dollars.

‫What were the denominations?

‫They were all 500-dollar bills.

‫There were ‫247 500-dollar bills in total.

‫And a few coins.

‫One 5-dollar coin ‫and four 10-cent coins.

‫How much did the victim ‫report stolen?

‫A total of 247 500-dollar bills.

‫Totaling 123,500 dollars.

‫Why are you so sure that money ‫belongs to Chung Ho Ching?

‫The amount and denominations ‫are the same.

‫The same?

‫The amount you found ‫at the second defendant's home...

‫was 123,505.40 dollars.

‫I meant the amount ‫and denominations of the banknotes.

‫You said you found ‫a smoked Seven Horses cigarette...

‫in the hotel toilet?

‫Yes.

‫On this cigarette,

‫did you find ‫the second defendant's DNA?

‫No. It was soaked in saltwater, ‫so it was destroyed.

‫Then, on the hotel room door lock ‫or safe,

‫did you find the second defendant's ‫fingerprints or DNA?

‫No.

‫In the entire room,

‫was there not a single fingerprint ‫or trace of DNA?

‫The defendant works in repairs.

‫I believe he has ‫a habit of wearing gloves.

‫Witness, just answer the question.

‫There is no need for speculation.

‫(He's framing me!)

‫(I didn't go up there.)

‫(I didn't go there.)

‫Which came first, which came later?

‫I don't know.

‫Mr. Kwan?

‫No further questions.

‫Mr. Kwan.

‫Does the defense have a submission ‫of no case to answer?

‫Yes.

‫You may begin.

‫The defense believes that...

‫even taking ‫the prosecution's evidence...

‫at its highest,

‫the prosecution has failed ‫to establish a prima facie case...

‫to prove the second defendant ‫stole the room key...

‫and the money from the safe.

‫The prosecution's entire case...

‫is built on the statement ‫of the first defendant, Ho Mei Yee.

‫But a co-defendant's ‫written statement...

‫cannot be used ‫against another defendant.

‫Furthermore, the prosecution's ‫first witness claimed...

‫that when the second defendant ‫stole the hotel room key,

‫he didn't even recognize ‫the second defendant.

‫Even if the prosecution ‫has CCTV footage...

‫and other circumstantial evidence,

‫it's actually just ‫a case of mistaken identity.

‫Furthermore, the quality ‫of these clips varies.

‫Some are not clear enough.

‫Some images are even quite blurry.

‫It is fundamentally difficult ‫to determine...

‫anyone's facial features or height.

‫Regarding ‫the prosecution's expert witness,

‫the expert stated ‫that the person in the CCTV...

‫is the same person ‫as the second defendant.

‫What does the defense have to say?

‫The defense disagrees ‫with the expert witness's opinion.

‫The defense simply says ‫they disagree?

‫Understood. We are also looking ‫for an expert witness.

‫You're only trying now?

‫We have been looking all along.

‫So you just can't find one.

‫Based on the above grounds, ‫the defense asks that Your Honor...

‫rules that there is ‫no prima facie case.

‫The second defendant has ‫no case to answer.

‫Mr. Lau?

‫The prosecution has ‫no response to the submission.

‫I now rule...

‫that there is a prima facie case.

‫The second defendant has ‫a case to answer.

‫The gentleman in the back ‫asked me to give this to you.

‫Do you want it?

‫(You get 0 points.)

‫Are you "X" -ing me?

‫I want to get off the bus.

‫Very good. How about this side?

‫This side.

‫This hand.

‫Give me your paw.

‫How do you usually address ‫Ramesh Ramaiah,

‫the defendant in this case?

‫Ah Lam.

‫On October 15, 2024,

‫did Ah Lam go to your shop?

‫He arrived at 8:30am ‫to open the shop.

‫However, he wasn't ‫feeling well that day.

‫He had no strength to move things.

‫By noon, I couldn't stand ‫seeing him like that,

‫so I told him to go home and rest.

‫What time was that?

‫A bit past 12pm.

‫When Ah Lam left your shop, ‫was his face pale?

‫Yes.

‫Given Ah Lam's condition ‫at the time,

‫do you think he would go ‫steal things instead of going home?

‫Leading question.

‫How long have you known Ah Lam?

‫About six years.

‫I've known him for as long ‫as he has worked at the shop.

‫What do you think of Ah Lam?

‫He's very reliable and hardworking.

‫The customers like him.

‫If there's a problem ‫with an appliance,

‫they always ask for him.

‫He's very helpful.

‫In these past six years,

‫has Ah Lam ever stolen money ‫from your shop?

‫No.

‫Has he ever been dishonest?

‫Never.

‫How do you pay his wages?

‫- I pay in cash. ‫- Why?

‫It's convenient.

‫I don't like using digital currency,

‫bank transfers, ‫and things like that.

‫I find it too complicated.

‫So I also collect cash ‫from my customers.

‫The cash you use for wages,

‫what denominations ‫are they usually in?

‫Five hundred-dollar notes.

‫If I don't have enough, ‫I'll use some 100-dollar notes.

‫- What about 1,000-dollar notes? ‫- No.

‫My shop has a sign saying ‫we don't accept 1,000-dollar notes.

‫As far as you know,

‫how does Ah Lam handle his wages?

‫I wouldn't know about that.

‫I just know he's very frugal.

‫He always says he's saving up ‫to build a house in his hometown.

‫Thank you. No further questions.

‫You mentioned earlier ‫that the second defendant is frugal.

‫In what way is he frugal?

‫I often see him recording ‫his work hours in a notebook.

‫He even counts every single hour.

‫So he values money very much. ‫Would you say that's true?

‫I suppose so.

‫Since he values money so much,

‫could he have stolen the money ‫out of a moment of greed?

‫No.

‫He wouldn't.

‫No further questions.

‫No re-examination from the defense.

‫The witness may step down.

‫Your Honor, ‫the defense rests its case.

‫What?

‫- That's it? ‫- That's it.

‫Is that all?

‫The defense only has one witness.

‫What about an expert witness? ‫You really don't have one?

‫The defense will not ‫call an expert witness.

‫Will the defendant testify,

‫or will he rely solely...

‫on the statement he gave ‫at the police station?

‫- I need to take instructions. ‫- Permission granted.

‫Defense, consider if there are ‫any other witnesses.

‫Thank you, Your Honor.

‫Why don't we find an expert witness?

‫Someone to prove that it wasn't me.

‫I consulted four expert witnesses.

‫All four said it was you ‫after watching the footage.

‫Let me ask you again.

‫Will you consider pleading guilty?

‫If you plead guilty now, you won't ‫get a one-third sentence reduction,

‫but at least you'll make ‫a good impression on the judge.

‫I really did ‫take the minibus that day.

‫I got off and walked home.

‫I never entered the hotel ‫or the alley.

‫There's no record of your ‫Octopus card on the minibus.

‫The CCTV didn't capture you ‫on the route you mentioned.

‫How can I help you ‫if you have no evidence?

‫Nothing was captured of me.

‫But the thief ‫was captured so clearly.

‫Are the police framing me,

‫or are you not trying to help me?

‫Why don't you just plead guilty?

‫I'll tell the judge myself.

‫If he testifies, ‫the prosecution will tear him apart.

‫Actually, this case was doomed ‫from the start.

‫I, Ramesh Ramaiah,

‫do solemnly, sincerely, ‫and truly declare...

‫that the evidence I shall give ‫shall be the truth,

‫the whole truth,

‫and nothing but the truth.

‫Please tell us what happened...

‫on the morning of the incident,

‫October 15, 2024.

‫When I woke up that day, ‫I felt very unwell.

‫Then, because I was in a hurry,

‫I forgot to bring my phone.

‫- Did you go back for it? ‫- No.

‫So you didn't have your phone ‫with you at work that day?

‫Yes.

‫The phone stayed at home ‫the whole time?

‫Yes.

‫Where did you go after leaving home?

‫To the shop. I went to work.

‫What time did you arrive ‫at the shop that day?

‫I'm always punctual. ‫I arrived at 8:30am.

‫What happened ‫after you arrived at the shop?

‫I felt more and more unwell ‫after I got there.

‫At around 12pm,

‫the boss saw I wasn't well ‫and told me to leave early.

‫He gave me half a day's pay.

‫And then?

‫Usually, I walk home ‫to save on the bus fare.

‫But that day, ‫after walking for a bit,

‫I really couldn't take it.

‫A minibus happened to arrive ‫at the nearby stop,

‫so I got on.

‫What time was that?

‫At that time...

‫It was around 12:15pm or 12:20pm.

‫Where did you get off?

‫The minibus stop ‫near the Avalon Hotel.

‫What time did you get off?

‫I think it was around 12:40pm.

‫And then?

‫Then I walked home.

‫Your Honor,

‫I have a street map ‫of the hotel's vicinity.

‫I'd like the defendant to draw...

‫the route he took after getting off.

‫Granted.

‫Please draw your route home ‫on the map.

‫(Jade Shop, Avalon Hotel)

‫(Mira Place)

‫Defendant, do you see...

‫the red and green routes on the map?

‫Yes.

‫The green route is ‫the prosecution's case,

‫the route taken ‫by the first defendant...

‫and the first prosecution witness...

‫to the jade shop.

‫The red route is from CCTV footage ‫of nearby streets,

‫showing a person in a red jersey...

‫leaving the hotel.

‫On October 15, 2024, ‫on your way home,

‫did you go anywhere else?

‫Such as the areas marked ‫by the red and green lines?

‫No, I was so sick that day.

‫How could I have the energy to walk?

‫Are you sure you didn't go ‫anywhere else,

‫including the hotel?

‫Of course not. ‫I don't go to those hotels.

‫They're so expensive. ‫Why would I go?

‫What time did you get home?

‫Around 12:45pm.

‫What did you do after getting home?

‫I slept. I remember I didn't ‫wake up until it was dark.

‫I have no further questions.

‫Please state your arrival ‫and departure times once more.

‫I got off at 12:40pm.

‫I got home at 12:45pm.

‫Please open Prosecution Exhibit P6.

‫Look at photos 1 to 72.

‫Did you pass through these streets ‫on your way home?

‫Yes, I passed through these streets.

‫The photos here...

‫are based on the route map ‫you just drew,

‫and the CCTV screenshots we found...

‫along the way ‫during that time period.

‫Please point out ‫which one captured you.

‫You can't find it?

‫I don't know why, ‫but I really did go home.

‫It doesn't matter.

‫Now look at photos 65 to 72.

‫Is this the entrance to your ‫building?

‫Yes.

‫Are you in there?

‫I should be here.

‫Under that eave.

‫I can't see you.

‫It's just too dark to see clearly.

‫It's not just that I can't ‫see you here.

‫If you really walked home,

‫why didn't any CCTV capture you?

‫How about this?

‫Let's look ‫at Prosecution Exhibit P4.

‫Photos 29, 30, and 31.

‫Photo 29.

‫Is that you at the hotel entrance?

‫No, it's not me.

‫What about photo 30?

‫Not me.

‫Not you again.

‫Photo 31, downstairs from your home.

‫Is that you?

‫I don't go home this way.

‫This is the red route.

‫Do you live alone?

‫No, there's Pei Pei.

‫Who is Pei Pei?

‫My cat.

‫Did you leave the house ‫during that time?

‫Second defendant?

‫I've got it!

‫It's Pei Pei!

‫It's my cat.

‫I've got it. It was her.

‫What about your cat?

‫That phone call.

‫That phone call was made by Pei Pei.

‫How could I not remember?

‫When I got home that day, ‫I saw her playing with my phone.

‫I just remembered it now.

‫The last time I got back home, ‫she was playing with it too.

‫Second defendant, ‫what are you talking about?

‫How can a cat make a phone call?

‫She can. She knows how.

‫She has done it before.

‫She presses buttons randomly. ‫Sometimes it doesn't go through.

‫Sometimes she calls people ‫without knowing who they are.

‫She really can make calls.

‫It's true. I'm not lying.

‫Your Honor, I would like ‫to request a recess.

‫Let me speak with the defendant.

‫I'm serious.

‫She called that girl last time, ‫Your Honor.

‫Isn't your phone locked?

‫It is, but she can unlock it.

‫She's smart. She copies what I do.

‫She knows how to draw ‫this pattern to unlock it.

‫After unlocking, ‫you have to dial eight digits.

‫And then press the call button.

‫Yes, exactly.

‫- Can your cat really make a call? ‫- Yes.

‫I would really like to see that.

‫This is the first time ‫I've heard such a claim.

‫Your Honor, ‫please grant me 15 minutes...

‫to clarify the situation.

‫Mr. Lau.

‫Is the second defendant's phone ‫in your possession?

‫Yes.

‫Mr. Kwan,

‫are you considering ‫bringing the cat to court?

‫Mr. Lau, any objections?

‫Bringing an animal to court,

‫I'm concerned ‫about wasting the court's time.

‫But if Your Honor ‫deems it necessary,

‫I have no objection.

‫The defendant insists ‫on the "cat making the call"...

‫as his ground for defense.

‫We must at least prove...

‫that his cat can unlock the phone.

‫Correct?

‫Lam.

‫- Mr. Cheung. ‫- How is it?

‫- Is it done? ‫- It's done.

‫Thank you.

‫Okay, that's all.

‫- Bye. ‫- Bye.

‫Are we really bringing Pei Pei ‫to court?

‫Yes, I'll bring her ‫to court tomorrow morning.

‫Why are you dragging her into this?

‫I heard pleading guilty ‫will get you a lighter sentence.

‫Don't be stubborn.

‫Even you don't believe me?

‫Defense.

‫May I call the second witness ‫for the defense?

‫Yes.

‫Dr. Cheng, please state ‫your occupation.

‫I am a registered veterinarian...

‫with a valid practicing certificate ‫in Hong Kong.

‫Thank you.

‫Dr. Cheng, ‫if someone claims that his pet,

‫such as a cat,

‫is able to unlock his smartphone,

‫how would you interpret this?

‫First, I would ask...

‫what the unlocking method is.

‫If it's a six-digit code,

‫and the digits aren't repeated,

‫like six 0s, six 1s, and so on,

‫the likelihood of a cat unlocking it ‫is extremely slim.

‫What if it is...

‫a Z-shaped pattern like this?

‫The IQ of an average house cat...

‫is roughly equal ‫to a toddler aged two to three.

‫They can consciously ‫mimic their owners...

‫by performing ‫simple repetitive actions,

‫like opening door locks ‫or turning on fans.

‫So I believe ‫if the phone's password...

‫is a simple pattern,

‫it's actually possible ‫for a cat to unlock it.

‫At least the probability...

‫is much higher ‫than a numeric password.

‫The defense would like ‫to invite Dr. Cheng...

‫to conduct a live test ‫with my client's cat.

‫I request your permission, ‫Your Honor.

‫Granted.

‫Pei Pei.

‫Pei Pei.

‫In the cage is Pei Pei, ‫the second defendant's cat.

‫This is a simulated phone ‫used for testing.

‫The model is identical to the one ‫used by the second defendant.

‫The unlock pattern is also the same.

‫Okay.

‫Thank you.

‫The phone is now locked again.

‫Dr. Cheng, if you please.

‫When a cat is in a strange place,

‫it needs time to adjust.

‫So please be quiet.

‫Try not to disturb it.

‫Understood.

‫Pei Pei.

‫Pei Pei, be good. Unlock the phone.

‫Second defendant, please be quiet.

‫Pei Pei.

‫Okay.

‫Pei Pei.

‫Witness.

‫It's not responding ‫to the phone at all.

‫Perhaps Your Honor shouldn't ‫get too close.

‫Why was it so agitated just now?

‫Dr. Cheng, you can speak freely.

‫I suspect it doesn't ‫like Your Honor.

‫I didn't do anything.

‫Why wouldn't it like me?

‫It might be the clothing.

‫Cats feel uneasy around dark colors.

‫Your black robe makes it nervous.

‫Or perhaps the scent.

‫Pei Pei doesn't ‫like Your Honor's scent.

‫Do they teach animal communication ‫in veterinary school?

‫How do you know what it's thinking?

‫Is what you're saying ‫a guess or an inference?

‫I am actually ‫studying animal communication.

‫Should I treat you ‫as an expert in science...

‫or an expert in the mystical arts?

‫Some things can't be explained yet,

‫but that doesn't mean ‫they don't exist.

‫But the court cannot ‫accept unfounded claims.

‫Mr. Kwan,

‫do you have any other questions ‫for the witness?

‫Why don't we wait a little longer?

‫Do you realize ‫that what you're doing...

‫is wasting the court's time?

‫I apologize, Your Honor.

‫If you have no more questions,

‫it's the prosecution's turn ‫to cross-examine.

‫Why don't we wait a little longer?

‫Since we've arranged this, ‫a bit more...

‫Do you have any other questions?

‫The defense has ‫no further questions.

‫Your Honor, the prosecution ‫has no questions.

‫Your Honor, ‫please wait a little longer.

‫It will definitely use the phone.

‫It loves playing ‫with the phone normally.

‫Mr. Kwan,

‫can you control ‫your client's emotions?

‫I'm not lying.

‫That call really was made by her.

‫I am sorry, Your Honor.

‫Please allow me ‫to take further instructions...

‫from the defendant.

‫Your Honor, I beg you.

‫That will be all for today.

‫The case is adjourned ‫until next Monday,

‫resuming at 9:30am.

‫All rise.

‫No matter what, ‫you must get the judge...

‫to let us try one more time.

‫I really don't know what to say.

‫I understand being stubborn, ‫I really do.

‫Everyone tries to hold out.

‫I'll still defend you.

‫But if you hold out until the end,

‫you'll still have to plead guilty.

‫How can you be so ridiculous?

‫How can you have no bottom line?

‫Defending you like this,

‫even I find it absurd.

‫How have I no bottom line? ‫How am I ridiculous?

‫Calm down.

‫How am I being ridiculous?

‫I really didn't do it.

‫That's really enough.

‫I want to change lawyers.

‫Changing lawyers won't help.

‫No one can help you.

‫The evidence is ‫solid and irrefutable.

‫If you had just listened ‫to me earlier...

‫You've treated me like a thief ‫from the very beginning.

‫You haven't listened to me at all.

‫You look down on me. ‫What right do you have?

‫I look down on you too.

‫Your firm is only in Sham Shui Po.

‫Do you think you are ‫a big-shot lawyer from Central?

‫I've said it so many times.

‫I didn't steal anything.

‫Why won't anyone listen to me?

‫I didn't do it.

‫I really didn't.

‫I really didn't.

‫I really didn't.

‫I really didn't.

‫I really didn't steal anything.

‫Is that you?

‫What do you think?

‫Of course it's you.

‫Then it's me.

‫They even have photos of you.

‫You can't deny it.

‫Forget it.

‫Yes.

‫Don't worry, we won't fire you ‫no matter what happens.

‫You'll be on unpaid leave.

‫You know how hard ‫business is these days.

‫Mr. Kwan, I've thought about it.

‫Forget it, I'll plead guilty.

‫Have you thought this through?

‫It's important to say it clearly.

‫Yes, I've thought it through.

‫I plead guilty.

‫Let me remind you.

‫If the judge sentences you to jail,

‫you'll lose ‫the one-third sentence reduction.

‫It's likely to be ‫less than 20 percent now.

‫I understand.

‫Okay, then.

‫I'll inform the court ‫as soon as possible...

‫that you're pleading guilty.

‫When the court reconvenes,

‫the clerk will ask you ‫if you plead guilty.

‫You will say yes.

‫The clerk will then ask if you agree ‫with the prosecution's case.

‫You will agree.

‫The judge will then find you guilty.

‫Then I will plead for leniency.

‫I hope the court will be lenient.

‫It's okay if you don't ‫understand now.

‫I'll explain it to you slowly.

‫The most important thing now...

‫is to check the prosecution's case.

‫Let me read it to you.

‫The second defendant, which is you,

‫after entering the Avalon Hotel,

‫you went to the lobby ‫to take the elevator.

‫The prosecution says ‫you took elevator number two.

‫Here is a screenshot ‫of you in the lift.

‫After the elevator ‫reached the eighth floor,

‫you exited the elevator...

‫and walked down the hall ‫to Room 821.

‫I've seen this girl before.

‫The one in front of ‫the elevator buttons?

‫Yes.

‫You were in the elevator with her. ‫Of course you've seen her.

‫No, I've seen her somewhere else.

‫Where?

‫I was on a minibus ‫with her that day.

‫We got off together.

‫Mr. Kwan,

‫does the defense ‫have any other witnesses?

‫I mean a normal one.

‫A normal human witness.

‫Your Honor, I have received ‫new instructions from the defendant.

‫The second defendant wishes ‫to retract...

‫the testimony ‫he gave earlier in court.

‫Defendant.

‫Have you considered this carefully?

‫Yes.

‫As the defendant has changed ‫his instructions for this case,

‫and the new instructions conflict ‫with the old ones,

‫the defendant will hire ‫a new legal representative...

‫to act on these new instructions.

‫I will no longer ‫be representing the defendant.

‫Mr. Lau?

‫I have no objection.

‫The prosecution has ‫already rested its case.

‫Even if the defense ‫changes its stance,

‫the prosecution does not need ‫to present its evidence again.

‫Has the defendant found ‫a new legal representative?

‫As far as I know, he has.

‫It will take some time to arrange.

‫How much time is needed?

‫About four weeks.

‫Defendant, are four weeks enough?

‫Yes, a meeting has ‫already been scheduled.

‫Granted.

‫This case is adjourned ‫for four weeks.

‫Where did you go? ‫What did you do that day?

‫I want every little detail.

‫So you started your day at...

‫And at 2pm,

‫you had your meeting with your boss.

‫With?

‫Ivan, Toby,

‫Joanne.

‫The meeting ended at...

‫3pm? No. 3:30pm?

‫Then you went straight ‫to another meeting with your client.

‫By the name of?

‫Henry Chung.

‫Where did you meet Henry?

‫Cafe Corner.

‫The one on Wing Lok Street?

‫Okay.

‫So you were in Sheung Wan.

‫Let's backtrack a little bit.

‫How did you get to Sheung Wan?

‫By MTR.

‫How long was the walk ‫between the MTR and the cafe?

‫Twenty minutes.

‫The timeline doesn't ‫make sense at all.

‫You were cheating, ‫so just admit it, you jerk!

‫Excuse me, I'm...

‫Mr. Kwan referred you, right?

‫Ram... Ramaiah?

‫You can just call me Ah Lam.

‫Mr. Kwan is my mentor.

‫He gave me instructions...

‫to do my best ‫to help you no matter what.

‫Because he said he believes you.

‫I didn't realize Mr. Kwan ‫was such a good man.

‫I've learned everything ‫from him. Don't worry.

‫Actually, Mr. Kwan explained it,

‫but I still don't ‫quite understand...

‫why he can't continue ‫to represent me.

‫Because in court,

‫he already presented one version ‫of the story on your behalf.

‫Now you're saying ‫that's not how it happened.

‫If he were to stay ‫in the same court...

‫and tell a completely different ‫version of the story,

‫it wouldn't be good for a lawyer.

‫It would affect ‫his professional image.

‫So it's because it affects him.

‫Let's not waste time.

‫Why don't you tell me everything ‫from the beginning...

‫about what happened that day?

‫Try to be as detailed as possible.
