Who the hell is this judge?

It's been an hour already.

Come in.

I am not nudging, but...

Anything else?

Anything else other than
"I'm not nudging"?

The Court schedule is pretty
full today...

The cases are piling up.

other judges will again have to pick
up your cases.

How is that my problem?

It's just that...

Christina won't be impressed...

Right, Christina, your new leader.

How about if I am not impressed?
Is that important?

Of course it is.

Of course it is...

...so why the long face?

Death in the family?

No, Sir.

Then you should be thankful.

And also be thankful for Christina.

She's a modern day Dr Faustus.

What did she have to give in exchange
for this promotion?

Wait.

Maybe you can sacrifice a lamb to
the Gods?

Make it a few lambs.

Only lambs can give someone like
Christina a promotion.

Court!

You've been charged with using
obscene language...

...in an MTR premises at
4:30pm on 8th March of this year.

How do you intend to plead to
this charge?

Not guilty.

I suppose so...

Mr. Wong, are you going to make your
plea properly?

Your lack of enthusiasm disturbs me.

Are you suffering from hunger?

Or are you dissatisfied with the
legal system?

I don't know what you're
talking about!

That guy has driven me to
absolute despair!

And now he is working with the MTR to
set me up.

I'd rather die than plead guilty!

The MTR is just a mode of transport.

A mode of transport is incapable of
conspiring with a human

to incriminate you.

At least,
with our current technology,

a train is incapable of that.

And pleading not guilty has nothing
to do with death

Case adjourned.

No previous offence, your Honour.

Plea bargain?

Plea bargain?

Case adjourned.

You've been charged with theft at a
convenience store

at 66 Tsun Yip Street, Kwun Tong at
7pm, on 27th April this year.

You unlawfully took two
microwave meals,

valued at $28.

How do you intend to plead to
this charge?

Guilty, your Honour.

Guilty as charged.

There's a previous record of a
similar nature.

Plea bargain?

My boss vanished.

I did the work but never got paid.

I can go without food.

But I can't let that happen to
my parents.

That's your justification?

Are you emotionally blackmailing me?

You think your parents can't go
without food,

but the shopkeeper can go
without food?

If being poor allows you to do
whatever you want,

we might as well let you burn the
world down.

Order for compensation for the amount
of $28, your Honour.

It says $6 on the box,

it's discounted.

It's clearly $14.

Yes, I picked boxes
that were discounted.

Why did you agree that you stole
$28's worth of food?

These microwave meals were not $28!

It's clearly $12.

And you are asking
for a $28 compensation?

Be fair.

The compensation order is $12.

Plus a fine for the crime of $600.

Pay it within six months.

(New Posting at
The Obscene Articles Tribunal)

(God has forsaken us.)

You were always
picking fights with Christina.

Everyone at the Magistrate knows she
holds a grudge.

Now that she is your boss.

It's payback time.

Imagine if she transfered you to the
Censorship Tribunal.

And you will be looking at tits,
bums, and corpses all day, every day.

Doesn't that sound fun?

Join my law firm.

Make a bit of cash before you retire.

The tycoons are always looking for
barrister friends.

When they are in trouble with
the Law,

we become their best friends.

In return,

they give us a bit of insider info
here and there.

And we make a few easy dollars;
win-win, no?

What are you worried about?

My firm has an office waiting
for you.

Child neglect.

Here, your first client,
and easy on the eye too.

That's what I call friendship.

Jolene Tsang.

Single mother.

Retired Top Model.

Quit seven years ago after
having a child.

Her daughter is the
one who's in hospital.

Still in a coma.

Not out of the ICU yet.

A child abuse trial should be
straightforward enough.

See it as a warm-up?

You over there, don't overdo it.

What if it comes tumbling down?

There are glassware pieces in one of
the boxes.

Taking an extra trip isn't that much
of an ask, is it?

I moved the box with the glassware
in it first.

It's safe at the bottom of the pile.

These three boxes are lighter than
the other two.

I am not going to waste my time doing
another trip.

I have no problem moving your
stuff for you.

Next time, though, please let me know
a night in advance.

I will bring a pair of loafers.

Evelyn Fong.

Adrian Lam.

Evelyn.

Yes, as in Evelyn Wood,
the British Field Marshal.

Oh really? Naming a girl after a
field marshal, how quaint.

Adrian isn't exactly a common
name either.

Barristers are not supposed to
shake hands.

A traditionalist, I see.

How wonderful.

I need to take a call now.

Would you excuse me.

Fantastic, that's that then.

She's all yours.

Time for a massage.

Take it easy.

Child abuse, huh.

Walk in the park.

Your Honour! It's been a long time!

It's been a long time all right.

You are looking well.

Keeping fit?

Cardio is good.

Still need to work
on muscle strength.

Sounds like you are working out hard.

TK tells me you are raking it in.

Just bits of work here and there.

From now on,

I am at your service.

Your Honour!

There's no need for that.

Master Adrian!

Ms. Tsang.

This is Adrian Lam.

He and I will represent you.

I know you've told it before,

but I would like you to tell Mr Lam
what happened that night.

On that fateful night,

my daughter had a bit of a fever.

She went to bed earlier than usual.

Will the little angel watch over me?

Of course she will.

That little angel,

I spent ages making it.

I know.

Your mum can't do a better job.

And people can see it when they
walk in?

Of course.

The angel is kissing you too.

After I put Elsa to sleep,

I went to the garden.

I passed out. When I woke up,

I just found out that I fell asleep
for 2 hours.

Elsa...!

Elsa...!

At the Emergency Room,

I saw doctors treating Elsa.

Not long after that, I was arrested,

for child neglect.

They said I caused Elsa's injuries.

Where was your husband that night?

I never got married.

We split up before Elsa was born.

Apart from you and Elsa,

was there anyone else at your home
that night?

No.

Did you hit your girl?

No!

The doctors have issued a report.

It came this morning.

Apart from the injury on the back
of her head,

both of Elsa's arms were
slightly bruised.

It is implying that,

Elsa was pushed towards the table
by an adult.

It was no accident.

Who do you think did that?

I don't know.

Do you have family?

My parents passed away many
years ago.

And I don't have any family in town.

My relatives have all emigrated away.

I don't think this is a
complicated case.

If you do get convicted,

it will not be a long sentence.

Relax.

Court!

Members of the Jury,

The victim in this case,

is a girl named Elsa Tsang, aged 7.

On the night of the incident,

while on route to the
Tseung Kwan O Hospital

Elsa was found to be suffering from a
brain bleed,

and there were also signs of
physical abuse.

According to the Defendant's
testimony...

(No Fingerprint Check)

Is it time to give it a break?

Don't worry about it.

This guy is just reading from
a script.

Just going through the motions.

Tell me when it hits $4.

The price hasn't moved for a while.

Hitting $4.1 is
already a cause for celebration.

To sum up,

both arms of the victim showed signs
that she was forcefully grabbed,

it's very probable that

she was grabbed,
then pushed to the ground.

Very probable?

That means it's possible that it
didn't happen?

I would say the chance of that is
close to zero.

Being close to zero isn't zero.

I have no further questions.

No expert report can ever claim to be
100% certain.

Look at him.

Some smart people look like Plato.

This guy looks like Bluto
from Popeye!

If he is an expert witness,

I am Abraham Lincoln!

Enough already!

I call Chan Ball.

I was patrolling the village
that night.

I saw Ms. Tsang's lights were on.

I also saw her daughter struggling
near the glass door.

But I couldn't hear her cry.

Because she has a speech impediment.

That's not what he
said in his prior testimony!

I did not do that!

Really?

Chan Ball, why are you saying this?

I was drunk, in my garden.

Defendant!

Your Honour, allow me.

Mr. Chan, when you gave evidence to
the Police,

you didn't say what you've just said.

I thought it was just a domestic
squabble; nothing serious.

There's no mention of this in your
testimony to the Police?

No, but...

Weeks later,

you suddenly thought it's something
worth mentioning?

Are you a licensed security guard?

Isn't it the duty of a
security guard,

to protect the safety...

...of his residents?

Yes.

And when one of them is in danger,

is it not your duty to...

...call the police for help?

Yes.

Did you call the Police that night?

Yes, or no?

No, I did not.

May I suggest that,

on the night of the incident,
no one was in danger.

You may say it was an oversight.

But let me further suggest that,

Ms. Tsang did not forcefully drag her
daughter into her house.

I believe the statement you just gave
in court was all made up.

Whatever you say then.

I have no further questions,
Your Honour.

Mr. Lam, I do hope you'll pull your
socks up soon.

The stock rose by $4.8,

I assure Mr. Lam is laughing all the
way to the bank.

Adrian!

If it's stocks and shares you're keen
on, talk to Marco.

For the property market,
I am your man.

I work with a bunch of
international traders.

Wilson,

international real estate...

...isn't really my thing.

It's an honour to meet two friends
with such excellent foresight.

I have much to learn from you.

Cheers!

Thank you.

Adrian!

Yes.

Here's a question for you.

Do you know the difference between a
Court case and a trade?

I am all ears.

Trading a stock, you win by reason;

Arguing a case, you win by rhetoric.

Do you really think wealth can be
accumulated by rhetoric?

Fabulous.

Insightful.

Very Insightful indeed.

Let's party.

It's your first time doing this,

you may need some help.

Try this...

This is insane.

If it doesn't work properly,

you know what to do.

Why so quiet?

Let's pop some more!
I have a bottle of 25 years here.

You can't get it anywhere even if you
have the money.

I am knackered today.

What's so important that can't wait
until the morning?

Evelyn got a call from the hospital.

The nurse saw Elsa
moving her arms slightly.

She may wake up soon.

That's why we are here.

Had plenty to drink?

I was going to talk to you about
tomorrow's proceedings.

Thought we'd better coordinate a
bit better.

What's there to coordinate?

And you want to use the ICU as a
meeting room?

I'm thirsty.

Did you buy these?

Oranges for a girl in a coma?

Were you going to drip-feed her
orange juice?

Elsa is up!

Let me get the doctor.

Little girl,

can you hear us?

We can't understand you,
we don't know how to sign.

But there's no need to be afraid.

We are lawyers,

Did your mother do this to you?

It wasn't your mum.

If not, who did?

Excuse me, sir,
you are not supposed to be here.

Please leave now, thank you.

The doctor is going to check on the
girl now.

No need to check!

So the girl said it wasn't
her mother.

Let her mother know,
first thing in the morning.

When the girl appears in court,

we win.

Piece of cake, we have won.

Do you have a light?

Yes, at home.

And I expect no more calls from
you tonight.

What the fuck do you want now?

Elsa woke up from her coma last
night. But it was just a short rally.

However,

she signed at us.

I want to know what she said.

She said: Mum never beat me.

I'm afraid we are dealing with a
manslaughter case now.

We are talking about a possible life
sentence here.

We know Elsa didn't lie.

Tell me, who else was at your home
that night?

My boyfriend, Dr. Desmond Chung.

So it was Desmond Chung's doing?

No, no, no.

According to the forensic report,

at the time of attack,
Desmond Chung was at the studio.

That's a perfect alibi for him.

This case is so juicy,

I don't understand why it's not all
over the news.

When the media wants to talk about
the Chung's,

they need to get their
permission first.

That's one powerful family.

The Chung's is old money,

all the tycoons in town follow
their lead.

Mrs. Chung's brother was...

...an influential politician.

Her brother-in-law

was a big shot banker.

The Chung's are the Kings and Queens
of the jungle,

top of the Hong Kong food chain.

Master Adrian, now that you have one
foot into the Chung's front door,

you've hit jackpot!

Once I have sorted out this case,

my fees will skyrocket!

You've got a point.

Luck has it that I get to work on
this case.

You're right,

I can be Desmond Chung's lifeline.

I will be right in there with
the Chung's.

I will bite my legs off to get
in there.

That's a bit radical.

Legs are important.

Especially my nice legs.

Don't show off.

Excuse me.

Dr. Chung,

you said you saw Elsa laying on
the floor

as soon as you entered the house.

Correct?

Correct.

But I want to be crystal clear here.

When you entered the house,

does it mean,
the door was unlocked at the time?

The door was unlocked.

I walked straight in.

Bingo!

We have found the key to this case!

An unlocked front door,

which means anyone could've been in
the house.

And there could be other suspects
besides Jolene Tsang.

You tell the Court about the unlocked
front door.

And that's a guaranteed win,

but your reputation
is even more important.

I can't speak for other lawyers but,

I will look after you in Court.

You have my word.

Okay.

Mr. Tung is here.

Uncle Tung.

Uncle Tung.

Just had dinner with your mum.

She is with the bankers now.

The papers for the trust fund
are ready.

Thank you Uncle Tung.

Let's hope Franchesca's trust fund
will benefit more dogs.

Beautiful dogs

are so precious.

I was very sorry to hear about the
loss of Francesca.

Why don't we sit and have a chat?

There's no need to worry about
the Court.

The judge was a pupil of mine.

I'm very familiar with him.

However, you have to tell me
everything that barrister told you.

Sure.

You stay away
from the Court tomorrow.

Or the tabloids will have a
field day.

That will upset your mum.

I understand.

Desmond Chung's testimony is
essential to the case.

Every word is
potentially game changing.

Jolene Tsang's fate rests upon it.

Why haven't you got it in
black-and-white?

Isn't it elementary?

Black-and-white?

The privileged

don't want things on record.

I worked as a Magistrate for so
many years,

I have not received a written
testimony once.

So tell me - why should I bother
with one?

A written testimony protects
Jolene Tsang.

It also protects us.

What if Desmond Chung says something
weird in Court?

How weird could it be?

He has been well briefed.

So well that even Jar Jar Binks
wouldn't mess this up.

He is ready to help his mistress.

Master Lam,
don't forget he is a Chung now.

I have prepared some notes...

Your notes?

Are they admissible in Court?

Why don't you go
and celebrate already?

Just a few drinks is also good?

She says you can celebrate already.

Yes.

Mr. Chung, where were you on the
evening of the incident?

I was at the studio filming a
TV show.

Then I went to visit Jolene Tsang at
her place.

When I got there,

I saw our daughter laying on
the floor.

There was a lot of blood.

You said you walked into
Jolene Tsang's house;

could you tell me about the front
door of the house?

The door was locked.

So I switched on the nightlight,

took out the keys to unlock the
front door.

Wasn't the front door unlocked?

That's a leading question!

The front door was locked.

I needed to unlock the door
with a key.

Are you certain?

Yes, I am.

The door was locked.

I object to this statement!

Counsel,

Mr. Chung is one of your witnesses,

what are you objecting to?

Mr. Lam?

Counsel?

Mr. Lam!

Hostile witness,

make him a hostile witness.

Without a written testimony
from Chung,

how are we supposed to proceed?

Mr. Lam,

this is your last witness.

Is there a request you'd like
to make?

You?

I have no further questions.

No more requests.

Members of the Jury,

have you reached a verdict?

Yes, your Honour.

By 6-to-1, we find the Defendant,

Guilty.

Ms. Tsang, please stand.

After deliberation by the Jury,

You have been
found guilty of manslaughter.

This case's victim was a young
disabled girl.

As her mother,

not only did you not protect your
daughter's welfare,

but you inflicted such
cruelty on her,

that caused grave injuries,

and led to her death.

A harsh sentence is required,

to act as a deterrent.

The Court now orders you to

serve 17 years in prison.

I didn't do it!

I didn't kill my daughter!

Officer.

I've been framed!

I didn't do it...

We will lodge an appeal for you,
I promise.

It's not me!
I didn't kill my daughter!

Why you put me to jail?

"Sure win" "Unassailable" "Case
closed".

You are too lazy to even have a
written testimony ready.

Always bigging yourself up.

How long were you a Magistrate for?

Never got promoted.

What's there to be proud of?

You knew she was innocent.

Tail between your legs?

You've fucked her life up.

Ms. Tsang,

the Court of Appeal has written back.

I am sorry.

They will not hear your case.

Are you done?

Keep her at home if you don't want
me to stare.

Or bring your mum?
I won't be staring at your mum.

Unless she's still got it?

You know how the song goes?
You're a MILF and I'm a motherf...

Put the bottle down!

What's wrong? Chicken?

That's not a punch.

Let them do it.

Stop beating yourself up.

And picking fights every night is not
going to change anything.

Though we've been friends for all
these years,

I can't be your bodyguard
every night.

Then don't!

When I first
qualified to be a barrister,

I told myself:

I am good enough to stand on my
own feet.

I don't need to suck up to those
rich bastards.

For 20 years,
I worked hard and achieved nothing.

So I moved on and
became a Magistrate.

Still, I refused to suck up
to anyone.

I spent 10 years being stuck at the
same place.

That's a wake-up call.

I got out,

and found the richest bastard there
is to find.

And that rich bastard set me up
to fail.

I thought it was going to be a
triumphant return.

Instead,
I messed up an innocent life.

This woman just lost her daughter,

and they put her away for 17 years.

Who was I kidding?

I always wanted to be amongst those
rich bastards.

I just didn't know how.

I thought I hit jackpot with
the Chung's.

I got nothing out of it but guilt.

Adrian Lam always looks down upon
the suck ups.

Turns out I am the biggest suck up.

If you were the biggest suck up,

you'd be sucking up another rich
family already.

Look,

you might have let down one person,

but you can make it right for many
many more.

Why did you go to Law School in the
first place?

Try to remember.

Brother Bo,

Back to your case,

you're clearly framed for something
you haven't done.

I will sort it out,
whatever it takes!

Brother Bo,

We all love our parents.

Cursing them isn't going to help.

Trust me.

I am on the case.

You have my word.

Granny Tam,

Your granddaughter will be all right.

I have the CCTV footage.

Crystal clear.

She didn't hit anyone.

The cops beat her up.

I am certain she will get off all
the charges.

She won't be wronged.

You have my word.

Sister Wah,

Prince has briefed me your case.

Gangsters need to follow rules too.

You are running a business,

and that little punk got his way and
stole your watch?

We can't have that!

I will make sure
you are not convicted.

What if he comes back for trouble?

I will get you a job at a sauna.

Working for someone
will give you protection.

We promise.

You will be taken care of.

We submitted a letter for a visit.

Mr. Lam was on the case two
years ago.

That way!

Master Adrian,

Chan Ball came back
to HK for cancer treatment,

but decided to take his own life.

He left behind a letter.

He regrets how he wronged
Jolene Tsang in Court two years ago.

The doctor says he may not survive
the night.

We messed up Jolene Tsang's life.

Please, stay alive and make it right.

On that fateful night,

my daughter had a bit of a fever.

I went to the garden.

After I put Elsa to sleep,

I was arrested,

for child neglect.

They said I caused Elsa's injuries.

I've been framed!

I didn't do it...

Prince and I looked everywhere for
Chan Ball.

Once we heard he was back in town,

and left a note that
could change everything,

God is giving us another chance.

God has a long to-do list.

When's your turn?

I won't go visit Jolene with you.

And she is right to ignore you.

Looking for redemption?

You deserve that chance?

Ever since she was put away,

I have pushed and pushed.

But the Police consider the
case closed.

No more investigation.

Now that Chan Ball is dead.

I am still filled with regret.

Even though 9 out of 10 people die
with regret,

I don't want to be one of them.

Because of you,

I am also one of them.

Just leave me alone.

May I speak to you about Adrian...

I have spoken to a few firms.

Jolene is seeking legal help from
others already.

She will probably not use me
this time.

If he is on the case,

"probably" becomes "definitely".

If you thought Adrian was so bad,

why didn't you suggest to do the
case alone?

But I knew it was a
massive undertaking,

And you were new to the game.

Wanting a safety net was normal.

But if you did go solo,

things might have been different.

He was wrong.

But I don't think you were
blameless either.

Someone senior coming to...

...beg for a second chance.

You think that was easy?

Brother Bo.

I never intended to stand you up.

My case is due in court next week!

You are quitting on me now?

No, no, Brother Bo.

But there is another case,

a case that I need to do.

Please let me work on that...

I will refund every penny.

Give me a million dollars.

Bloody hell, that's harsh. Come on,
Brother Bo.

Harsh? Who's being harsh?

That's not what I meant...

If you kill me now,

you are letting down an
innocent woman.

Because of my incompetence,
she has been put away for 17 years.

All because of my incompetence.

One shot, and one shot only.

Never again...

...never again!

You are just a scumbag in a suit.
Loyalty? My ass.

You have two days.

I want my money.

Should I call 999?

My gang just told me...

that Master Adrian got beaten up.

That's why I am here.

No big deal.

How is he doing?

The doctor is checking up on him now.

Watch out for enemies.

My father was a gang boss.

He's now in Stanley Prison.

He got convicted
for money laundering.

It was Master Adrian who took
the case.

He really tried to help my Dad.

Worked extra hard for him.

After a few all-nighters,

he was so tired he crashed his car.

His wife at the time was so
mad at him.

She wondered,

why he would do so much for a
gang boss.

After a few fights,

they spilt up.

It's natural to work hard for a case.

Even though we lost the case,

my father never blamed Adrian for it.

I was in my teens at the time,

and Dad said I should become a
barrister when I grew up.

Following in the footsteps of Adrian.

So, that's why they call you Prince,
I always wondered why.

Prince? What Prince, huh?

Dad wouldn't let me be involved in
his business.

My brother looks after it.

Master Adrian.

We can't let this one go.

I will get people to rough up
Brother Bo.

If you don't want violence,

I will work it out with Brother Bo.

Being beaten up,

is better than being beaten by guilt.

I am sorry.

Ms. Tsang.

Thank you for agreeing to see us.

Even though we have Chan Ball's
suicide note...

Got a cigarette?

I don't think we can smoke in here.

As I said,
even with Chan Ball's suicide note,

the Court still isn't obliged to hear
our appeal.

Mr. Lam has spent a lot of time...

...doing research on the concept of
the Dying Declaration.

There are quite a few legal
precedents to support this appeal.

He is very well-prepared this time.

He has turned down all his other
cases to do this.

He even got into a fight
because of this.

Okay.

Other lawyers have said pretty much
the same thing.

You give me what you have,
I will pass it on to them.

Hope you don't mind.

Ms. Tsang.

We really want to help you.

That's very kind of you, Mr. Lam.

I am so sorry...I am.

We are here today,

because I wanted you to see how I
suffer so.

What I saw in Court, your flippant
faces, I will never forget.

Now you are begging
for a chance for redemption?

You have let me down.

You will never live without
that guilt.

May you live a long life,
a guilt-ridden life.

Ms. Tsang!

Yes, there are many lawyers out there
who could help you.

If you find someone you trust,

we can still help whoever that is
for free.

All we wish for,
is your swift release.

I don't know what other lawyers will
do for you.

As much as I don't know,

you would never know either.

I saw Elsa with my own eyes.

We will give 100%

to get you out.

Whatever it takes.

All I have thought about in the last
two years,

is how I could get you out of jail.

Ms. Tsang,
please give us another shot.

It has been a difficult decision.

But we are of the view

that the verdict was incorrect.

We now direct the case to be set
for retrial.

Ms. Tsang has given
permission to you,

to keep her house keys,

until the end of the Court case.

We have put everything back in the
house as it was before.

Things that are deemed irrelevant
to the case,

were left as they were.

Sign here

and the keys are yours.

Thank you sir.

I am indebted to you.

My son was in Bangkok to meet the
Royal Family.

He's making good business connections
in Thailand.

Ronald can simply contact the
Prime Minister directly from now on.

Thank you.

The kids are all grown up.

No point of us interfering anymore.

Victoria and Desmond,
on the other hand,

I want to give my two cents worth.

That woman is in jail now.

If we can keep her there,
that would be ideal.

I understand.

Ben,

find out who the advising counsel is
on the case I told you about.

I will see him.

Do you know anyone working on
Financial dispute cases?

Of course,

is that what you want to get into?

Who doesn't want to make some money?

We have worked so hard for so little.

But it is almost impossible to get
into that world.

That little circle of the wealthy,

is impossible to get into.

Who do you think you are?

Think about your background.

You don't belong to that world.

You thought it's about working
hard, right?

Being a nobody is hard work for sure.

Hey, it doesn't have to be like that.

What's happening?

The Justice Department is retrying
Jolene for murder.

Does it mean if we lose,

I will do life?

If you are convicted, yes.

If you don't appeal, you are in for
another 13 years without holidays.

If you do and win,
you are out straight away;

If you do and lose,
that's the rest of your life in jail.

You need to consider this carefully.

I'd rather be in jail for the rest
of my life,

than not getting
justice for my daughter.

Prince.

The Justice Department
has its own Prosecutors.

But for a case as serious as this,

they generally get someone from the
outside to handle it.

For a murder case,

the choices are limited to
these four.

I will get my clerks to contact them
one by one.

They will be invited to come to
see you.

You simply ask them for legal advice.

But don't ask them to represent you.

Once they have come to see you,

and discussed your case with you,

the Justice Department can no longer
hire them to be the Prosecutor.

Conflict of interest, you see.

They simply cannot take up the
prosecution job.

If we do this right,

we are eliminating the four best
Prosecutors in the business.

I have dealt with the other
two judges.

Last but not least, her ladyship.

She will not have a good impression
on Jolene Tsang.

Her husband left her for
another woman.

And the Jury?

What can we do to influence them?

Although I'm indebted to Madam Chung,

I prefer to handle the case subtly.

Approaching the Jury is too much
of a risk.

I don't think it is necessary.

What if it goes wrong?

Who is going to take the fall?

We can dance within the ambit,

but if Justice prevails,

sometimes it does,

then it's her daughter that would
have to face the music.

Not us.

Forget about witnesses,
and evidences and whatnot,

to the Jury,

it's probably just a show,

in the end they will always convict
the bad guy.

My job is to make sure that we have
the right showman.

Who's the Prosecutor?

I've come to notice that the
defendant has been trying to...

conflict out all the possible fiat
counsel by meeting them for advice.

So the Justice Department
is still searching.

Have they seen Kam Yuen Shan?

Most probably tomorrow.

I want him to be the Prosecutor.

He doesn't like sneaky people.

Tell him what the defence is doing.

Understood.

Let's have some food.

This way please.

Mr. Kam. Mr.
Adrian Lam is here to see you.

Thank you.

Hello, Mr. Kam, how do you do?

Mr. Lam, I am a traditionalist.

I am Jolene Tsang's defence
counsel...

In the past week,

your team has arranged for
Nancy Chan,

Tony Tse,
and Shirley Mo to meet your client.

They may not have known what you were
trying to do.

But I do.

I turned down the chance to meet
Jolene Tsang,

refused to meet your clerk,

now I find you here at my office.

Originally,
I wasn't going to see you,

but there's one thing that I would
like you to know.

Mr. Lam doesn't need any coffee.

He will be leaving shortly.

I have contacted the
Justice Department.

I will take on the Prosecutor role
for Ms. Tsang's retrial.

We will be in touch about a
pre-trial review.

Your sly tactics won't work on me.

Maybe you can fool some,
but the heavens are watching you.

The legal system isn't something you
can play with.

You deserve to be
condemned for your insidiousness.

Wow, no bickering today.

What's the point of bickering now?

Win the argument in the Court.

You are still very childish.

I have only recently
become a bit childish.

Been mixing with the wrong
crowd, I guess.

There sure is something good you
can rub off?

What good is there?

I am a man of reason...

except when it requires otherwise.

It's just a Court case.

Yet he looks like he's going
to church.

To each his own.

Don't let that get on your nerve.
I can buy you one of those later.

Court!

Members of the Jury,

we are dealing with...

... a murder case today.

If you cannot be certain that...

...the defendant committed a murder,

I suggest you could
consider manslaughter.

(Damn him)

Officer.

Here is your recent
disciplinary report.

Your Honour,

I ask if the witness

and members of the Jury could be
excused for a moment.

May the witness and members of the
Jury leave the Court room.

I have doubt as to Mr.
Lam's upcoming questions,

I believe they will be irrelevant to
this case.

If disciplinary reports are
considered irrelevant in Court,

what's the point of having
them at all?

Might as well let them run loose.

Mr. Lam.

Do you have a good understanding of
the word "relevance"?

It's not my job to teach you

I do not doubt your qualification as
a barrister,

but doubting for doubting's sake is
not how we do things here.

Your doubt needs "relevance".

Is your question
going to be relevant?

Please be sure of that.

He has been found to have tampered
with evidence

If he tells the Court Jolene Tsang's
doors and windows were undamaged,

we may consider
his testimony unreliable.

There are photos of the crime scene.

We have agreed that they are
admissible evidence.

The door and the windows,

were clearly undamaged.

Are you trying to say,

when the Police arrived at the
crime scene,

things were damaged,

only for this witness to...

interfere with the crime scene?

Did he fix the door,

did he patch up the windows?

And took the photos after things have
been fixed?

Is that what you're trying to say?

I am deliberating.

And how would that take?

Professionalism may not be a
concern of yours.

But have you ever concerned that

you are dragging the whole legal
profession down with you.

Members of the Jury,

to be able to assess this case,
you only need one thing,

that thing is Common Sense.

What is Common Sense?

Fairness.

Justice.

It's as simple as that.

When this trial is over,

you should reach a verdict of
"Guilty"

or "Not Guilty".

The Prosecution is incorrect.

If you limit your options to "Murder"
or "Manslaughter",

you are limiting yourselves to
"Guilty" or "Guilty".

So let's use some Common Sense.

Let us see Justice prevail here.

I call upon Chan Hong Man.

Mr. Chan,

do you know Chan Ball?

Yes, he was my father.

There is something I would like you
to look at.

Relevance!

Have we not discussed this already?

How is this irrelevant?

Anything that is stated in a
Dying Declaration,

is considered factual.

It's considered reliable.

Here, we have Chan Ball's
suicide note,

in which he wrote he
framed the Defendant.

Chan Ball wrote:

I am full of regrets.

I wronged Jolene Tsang that day.

I lied in Court, and she was harmed.

Anything else?

That was the relevant part.

Counsel.

For Chan Ball to "wrong" Tsang,

it could mean Chan saw
nothing at all.

or it could also mean Chan saw
someone committing a crime,

but that someone
wasn't the Defendant.

Or it could mean Chan witnessed
something the Defendant had done,

but it wasn't what he told the Court.

Or it could mean Chan saw someone
that wasn't the Defendant,

who did something that he didn't talk
about in Court.

What are you trying to prove with
this suicide note?

Common sense.

It proves that the Defendant was
"wronged".

I am sorry, Mr. Lam,

this note only tells us that Chan,

just the same as other residents of
the village,

didn't witness what happened
that night.

Excuse me, Mr. Kam,

I disagree.

The note says nothing about "not
witnessing anything",

that is merely your interpretation.

Members of the Jury, please do not
take that into consideration.

What proof do you have that he
witnessed anything at all?

None?

No evidence,

no witnesses,

now even a dead man isn't of help.

I don't know what else you can do.

What else is there that could prove
Jolene wasn't the killer?

Nothing, none.

That's why we need
some reverse thinking.

We are not trying to
prove Jolene's innocence.

We are trying to figure out who
is guilty.

No one is going to help us.

We are on our own.

What are you doing?

Stop, right there!

That expert witness
drew his conclusions,

from Elsa's head wound.

Whoever pushed her,

was likely to be standing where
you are now.

Why is this display case
become empty?

Don't you find it strange?

There used to be photos here,

family photos.

Desmond didn't want the world to know
about his relationship with Jolene.

So he tidied up that night,

before anyone else showed up in
the house.

If I stood here,

all these family photos were in
front of me,

and I pushed Elsa towards that
kitchen counter.

Who would've been angered by
these photos?

So angry that hurting a little girl
became okay?

Just keep an eye on him, 24/7.

Wherever she goes,

whoever she meets,

whatever she says,

whatever she eats,

whatever she poops,

I want a record of it, all of it.

Come on man, poop? Really?

Really what?

You really are expensive,
that's what.

They are coming. I talk to you later.

You've been with Desmond Chung for a
long time.

Has he ever talked about his wife?

That relationship lasted less than
two months.

That woman stopped seeing me again.

It was Desmond who continued
to see me.

People think Desmond married into
that family for money.

That never bothered you?

Friends who knew about us,

all thought I kept Desmond for his
money, too.

I came from a very modest background.

Didn't have any money growing up.

No one really took care of me either.

How long was I able to work as
a model?

All I ever wanted was a family
of my own.

Desmond gives me that family.

What he does outside of our family,

that's nothing to do with us.

Have a look at these photos.

Try to recall,

what you saw when you sobered up.

Was there anything else?

Desmond was shouting for me.

When I walked into the living room,

I saw Desmond kneeling down
next to Elsa,

blood everywhere.

What was Desmond doing?

I want a clear
move-by-move description.

He was examining Elsa,

and asked me to call 999.

I ran to the garden looking for
my phone,

when I returned,

I saw him in the kitchen,

throwing two water bottles away.

Two water bottles?

Why was he doing that when his
daughter was gravely injured?

What happened next,
I have told you already.

Thank you.

Wow, that's not a good idea...

That lot bent the rules two
years ago.

You think they will play nice
this time?

What has playing nice done for us?

If Justice doesn't prevail,

what can we do?

Concerns?

I am just worried about you...

Are you worried?

Not at all.

That's good, I won't feel so bad when
I blame it all on you.

Now I am worried.

Just do this for me - call
Victoria Chung this evening.

Then bring him along.
What's the problem?

I need to take this.

Hello?

Mrs. Chung,

I trust you remember who
Chan Ball was.

This is his son calling.

Apart from the suicide note,

my father also left behind evidence
of your involvement.

I just want money, not a lot...

I found a set of keys in
Desmond's car.

After a bit of digging,
I figured out where that bitch lives.

I went to see her.

I presumed she was just a
gold-digger,

I thought I could just pay her off.

But she wasn't home.

That bastard girl hit and threw
things at me when she saw me.

She even bit me.

so I pushed her away...

She lost her balance and fell onto
the table.

She fell and died.

That's her,
be it unfortunate, destiny.

Jolene Tsang might
not have done anything,

but that bitch,

no one should take pity on her.

Prince, what are you going to play
in Court?

Something juicy.

Shush!

You will soon find out.

Dr. Chung,

Is Victoria Chung your wife?

Yes, she is.

Then you must be able to recognise
her voice.

Let's listen to what she's
got to say.

That bastard girl hit and threw
things at me when she saw me

She even bit me

This is absolutely misleading!

You are misleading the Jury!

Switch it off, immediately!

Mr. Lam!

Please, switch it off for now.

She fell and died.

That's her,
be it unfortunate, destiny.

Your Honour.

Okay, your Honour.

Go on, turn it off.

I strongly object to this recording
of unknown origins.

Your Honour,

I have the accompanying video that
goes with this recording.

You can see the faces in it.

I doubt you can call it of
"unknown origin".

If you allow it,
I can play it immediately.

I object!

First,

the video is of unknown origin;

Second,

the video may have been edited or
tampered with;

Third,

to ensure a fair and just trial,

the Prosecution should've been
informed in advance.

There are multiple violations of
legal convention;

have you forgotten
the code of conduct?

You have not seen the clip yet,

how are you to judge that it's been
edited or tampered with?

Court adjourned.

Come inside, all three of you.

Why did you hide this from me?

Let him be the Kamikaze man.

You don't want to be a part of this.

Wow! You make it sound so noble.

The honour is all yours.

After I left the house,

I called him and,

I told him to sort out the mess
he started.

Was it you who paid-off the
security guard?

She was incredibly nervous.

That was understandable.

Jim

you have to sort it out for us.

We can't be blackmailed.

Your Honour.

In light of the recent development,

I request the Court to be adjourned.

In regards to this video,
I expect written statements...

...from both of you before the
next session.

There's video evidence now.

Why hasn't that woman been arrested?

That was just a guerrilla attack.

Just to plant an impression on the
Jury's minds.

Let them know the truth.

It probably worked.

In all likelihood, the video won't be
admissible in Court.

But if that video isn't admissible,

it is not evidence.

What can be done now?

Wait for her to admit to committing
the crime?

Inadmissible.

Nothing to worry about.

Even if it's out there,

they won't be able to use it
in Court.

We are always ready for issuing a
defamation or filing an injunction.

No one has the guts to play against
your family.

Now let's get rid of this idiot.

What was his name?

Adrian Lam.

Get the tickets prepared.

Once the Court is done,

you two can leave
Hong Kong immediately.

I can make sure he won't be able to
attend Court.

Of course, legally done,

and there won't be any journalists
in Court.

Hello, Superintendent Cheung.

I am the advising counsel for
Jolene Tsang's trial.

About the video that
was illegally obtained.

We are submitting a memo.

It requires an urgent review.

The charge is "Access to a Computer
with Dishonest Intent".

Adrian Lam.

We suspect you that,

at 10:30am on 17 October,

you used a computing device on
Sandy Bay,

that is considered "Access to a
Computer with Dishonest Intent".

You are now under arrest,

please come with us.

Get a move on.

I have spoken to all my contacts.

None of them is interested to
help you.

Expect to be locked up for the full
48 hours.

They just want to prevent me from
appearing in court tomorrow.

Told you not to go against the
Chung family.

Even if you are not giving up,

you might want to dissuade others.

What?

Michelle Liu's firm was going to...

...get Evelyn to work for them...

...on those financial cases.

Michelle has worked closely for
the Chung's.

Now you know...

...if Evelyn carries on tomorrow,

her legal career is over.

Shan,

let's have a talk, shall we?

I don't think that's appropriate.

Yes, Patrick.

Adrian Lam won't be able to prove the
video's relevance.

And the evidence
was illegally obtained.

The case doesn't need to be
dragged on.

I don't intend to carry on.

Please get someone else to take
my place.

And you should drop all charges
against this woman.

I will lay it out in
my written statement.

It will be plain for all to see.

It's your duty to ensure that there's
a fair trial.

The video was
clearly illegally obtained.

It can't be fair to use it in Court,

or even let it affect your judgement.

How dare you talk about
fairness with me.

How many guilty persons have you set
free over the years?

Is it fair then?

It wasn't those people I
intended to help.

I was only upholding the system.

Now that you mention it,

the system simply does not accept
this evidence,

have you forgotten all the rules?

Have you honoured the system?

If you have honoured the system,

you wouldn't be
affected by such nonsense.

Where is your duty to the Court?

With all due respect,

you are using your own so-called
feelings...

...to decide what Justice is,

forgetting all about the procedural
fairness, and laws.

Without rules and principles,

there's no point of having any lawyer
or even you.

We all have feelings, don't we?

Senior Counsel.

The private investigator has
found out;

the Chung's have booked their flights
to leave town.

As soon as they finish in Court,
they will be gone.

Even if we get the Court to adjourn,

it is not going to make a difference.

They will be gone forever.

Nothing we can do about that.

They will appear in Court,

because they want things to be over.

Once they are gone,

the Court can't summon them back.

Too many technicalities.

They will get away with this.

Do you have a plan?

Just in case you don't get out
in time,

I have prepared a written statement,

Here are some precedents,

all related to the video clip we want
to show as evidence.

Have a look.

How do you rate yourself as a
defence counsel?

Is there a problem?

I can make changes.

A problem? Yes,
the whole thing is one big problem!

These are not reported cases.

And this one? That's ancient history.

These two are just ridiculous.

Cases from Australia?

Who'd take them seriously?

Master Adrian,
we can make revisions...

Shut up already!

Who's in charge here?

You know why you got a chance at
TK's firm?

He just wanted a pretty girl at the
office as eye candy.

That's all.

Don't overestimate yourself.

You are nowhere good enough for
this job.

What's the matter now?

Let's spill it and work it out.

What's there to work out?

You worked all day on this statement,

and I am still stuck here.

Look,

this is no longer your trial.

Not anymore.

Stop being a burden already.

That's it!

No need to talk to her,

let her decide for herself.

Officer!

I need to make a call!

This is Adrian.

Rearrange your schedule,

you've got to
come to my trial tomorrow.

What's going on?

Officer!

Have you found the Officer in
Charge yet?

It's being arranged.

At 15:24, you told
me "it's being arranged".

At 18:42, you told
me "it's being arranged".

At 20:47, you told
me "it's being arranged".

It is now 21:32, and it's the fourth
time give me the same bullshit.

Remember those timestamps.

You'll have to explain them...

...each and every one of them
in Court!

What are you going to arrange now?

James Tung knows what you are like.

He is citing procedural fairness to
shackle you.

Even if you were to quit now,

someone else is going to take
your place.

And the outcome will remain the same.

I know what they are playing at.

Master Kwok.

It's the Chung's mess,

not yours.

Don't act above your station.

Since you know sign language,

let us introduce you to someone.

Ben

Good evening.

Good evening.

I'll tell the head,

she will know your name.

Thank you Mrs. Chung,
thank you very much.

The media has been taken care of.

There will be no journalists in
Court tomorrow.

You will only see our people
in Court.

Don't worry.

All of us have anticipated what
they're going to ask you about,

let's go through them. Shall we?

Sure!

Mr. Lam.

My name is Ko.

We have logged
the time of your requests,

every single time.

And every single time when I reject
your request,

there is an entry in the log book,

a reason that will be accepted
in Court.

Madam Ko, you are doing nothing.

We are investigating your case.

I have given evidence,

you have gone through my phone.

You don't know what I am going to
show in Court,

and you can't find any accomplices.

What else is there to investigate?

I leave it with you to explain to the
judge yourself.

You will probably be granted bail.

Just not now.

Right,

I see, two can play that game.

Let me tell you now.

I know how police bail works.

I am going to refuse bail,

and when I fail to
appear in Court tomorrow,

it's up to you,
Madam Ko to explain to the judge.

And you won't have anything to say!

And I promise someone will have to

take responsibility
for this shitshow.

Your bosses...

...won't protect you...

...when the shit hits the fan.

You must know this better than I do.

Hold up!

Prince asked me to come.

There is only one man,

that may get me out of this shithole.

His name is Cheung Tak Wo.

Senior Superintendent.

Okay,

I will look him up.

Call someone now.

The head guy won't come down unless
there's blood.

There's a suicide attempt!

I'm thirsty, Officer. I need water.

Drinking after losing so much blood
is not advisable. Don't you know?

Good morning,
Senior Superintendent Cheung

Cheung, I know you are here.

Cheung, come this way!

Master Adrian.

When you first started out,
who was there to help you?

I corrected your grammar,
your spelling.

and your reports

were always impressive enough for you
to get noticed.

I have been there for you since
day one.

I just need to get out of here.

Court!

This trial is getting all the
attention right now.

You know what you are getting
yourself into.

I am rattling their cage, not yours!

Why are you teaming up with them?

You are not just messing with me,

you are messing with the whole
legal system!

We, all of us, will suffer for it.

But I need to listen to orders.

What's the order?
To lock me up for 48 hours?

To prevent me from appearing
in Court?

That is shameless.

I will sit here for the whole
48 hours.

If I let you go now,

what am I going to say to my boss?

I let you be the hero,

and I live to be the zero.

Give me a name.

That's the best I can do.

That's all.

A video clip was submitted by the
Defence as evidence.

Your Honour,

I have prepared a written statement,

in which I laid out the argument in
favour of the submission.

It was submitted to you this morning,

and it's on your desk in front
of you now.

Please consider the argument.

It was you who filmed that video!

I couldn't think of a more suitable
person to sell out.

It's either selling you out or me
being stuck.

No need to run away.

Look, Prince and I will come and save
your arse tonight.

Dr. Chan, I have a question for you.

Giving someone lots of water after
heavy blood loss, what will happen?

It's a matter of life or death.

I need an answer now!

Counsel.

Please don't waste any more valuable
Court time.

10 more seconds,
I will be with you shortly.

The Jury won't be allowed to see
that video.

There's no point in arguing.

If we carry on like this,

the Chung's will be on a plane
and gone.

When I was locked up,
I came up with a plan.

I am going to get...

James Tung and Desmond Chung...

...to tell the Jury the truth.

Kam is going to stop you for sure.

Well, let's see about that.

Your Honour,

I withdraw my request to adjourn
this trial.

I also understand the video will not
be admissible.

We are ready to continue with
the trial.

Members of the Jury,

you heard a 10-second audio clip
last time.

The Defense has since withdrawn that
from the Court.

You need not to consider what
you heard.

I call upon James Tung.

Mr. Tung,

Where were you,

at 10:30am on 17 October?

I was in Sandy Bay.

Were you aware that the meeting
between you,

Madame Chung and Victoria Chung,

was filmed by an HD camera?

And your conversation...

...was recorded by a
parabolic microphone?

Objection!

The video in question...

...has been withdrawn from
this Court.

The video is no longer evidence,

and therefore it is
a leading question.

I take that back.

Mr. Tung, what were you doing with
the Chung's?

I was giving some legal opinions to

Madame Chung and her daughter.

Because of legal privilege,

I won't say any further.

Isn't legal privilege wonderful?

Such a beautiful
way to avoid a question.

Not to worry.
How about another question?

As the Chung's legal advisor,

I trust it wasn't the first time they
sought legal advice from you?

Did Madame Chung ask you to take care
of Victoria?

First, I do not
understand your question.

Second, this is a leading question.

It should not appear in your
examination in chief.

I am sure the Prosecutor would oppose
such question at this stage.

James Tung was a well-respected
barrister...

...before he retired.

I object to the defence counsel's
questioning of Tung's integrity.

I now humbly ask, with great respect,

that from the conversation you had
with the Chung's,

you were made aware that it was
Victoria Chung who...

...pushed the victim that led to
her death.

And your advice to them was to frame
the Defendant.

Now, I ask,

are you a man?

Mr. Kam?

I am sorry, your Honour.

I couldn't hear the Defence's
question properly.

Please repeat the question so that I
can decide.

Why is he helping us?

God knows.

Mr. Lam!

Yes, yes, your Honour.
Let me repeat my question.

Mr. Tung, I will ask very slowly,

to make sure Prosecution can
hear clearly.

You, clearly knew,

Victoria Chung, was the one who,

inflicted injury on the victim,
that led to her eventual death.

Yet you advised Victoria Chung,
and her husband,

to frame the Defendant.

My question is this:

are you a man?

Your Honour,

Objection.

Objection sustained.

But I would like to answer that.

You can't even
ask a question properly.

First, all the things that you've
just said have no factual basis,

I will just say "never happened",

"no idea what you're talking about".

Your whole speech
just became pointless.

Second, you asked whether I
was a man.

Let me answer that right now.

I am.

How does that help your case?

If your purpose is to provoke me...

...to unveil some truth,

give it a break.

We talk about evidence in Court,

not unravelling your version of
the truth.

The layman may
find the truth fascinating,

but you have to have the evidence to
support them.

Where are they?

I'm afraid your version of the truth
is insignificant in here.

I'm here to assist the Court today,

but you have wasted a lot of my time.

Unlike your time,
have nothing to treasure about.

Let me tell you my favourite quote,

"We would like to believe that we are
all equals,

but the truth is we are not,

and we never will be."

The Jury may not know about the law,

but I thought you've been to
law school,

Haven't you, Mr. Lam?

Mr. Tung,

the truth we are facing here,

involves an innocent woman,

and her freedom for the rest of
her life.

You just told the Court that

"The Truth is insignificant in here"

that's what you just told the Jury.

How could you utter such thing?

I don't know what kind of senior
counsel you were,

but I can safely conclude you are a
man with no sense of decency.

You also said,

people who don't know the law are
"laymen".

And only these "laymen"...

...are interested in the Truth.

How dare you challenge the members
of the Jury?

Are you saying...

...the Jury has no right to be here?

The role of a Jury,

is to act as a check and balance to
people like you.

You don't think
they can think critically?

Would you like to know what they
think of you now?

You behave as if you are
above us all,

how?

You started mingling with the
Chung's,

and now you think you are in their
social class?

May I quote from your
favourite quote.

"You would like to believe you are
their equals,

but the truth is you are not,

and never will be."

Counsel!

This is a Court of Law,
not Hyde Park's Speakers' Corner.

You may continue
to ask your questions,

if you have no questions left to ask,
please be seated.

Your Honour, please remain calm.

I have one more question to ask.

Mr. Tung,

Desmond Chung will appear as a
witness next.

I trust you have briefed him well,

and he will give
a flawless performance.

Of course, you are going to cite...

...legal privilege or some such to
avoid this question.

So, allow me, I will take it back.

This is absurd!

I've been in and out of the Court for
so many years.

I've never endured such a
disrespectful trial!

I will certainly report this to the
Chief Justice!

Enough already, Mr. Tung.

Go and enjoy that
well-deserved cigar.

Counsel.

Your Honour, I beg your pardon.

I request a short
break of 20 minutes.

I need to prepare
for the next witness.

Request granted.

Court!

I need to speak to Jolene now.

Let me arrange.

And I need Photo #4.

I need you to tell me again,

about that angel Elsa made.

Water bottles?

Yes, I picked them up this morning.

The police only took pictures
of the bin.

They didn't take
the bottles as evidence.

Are they going to be useful?

We are bluffing him.

He knows he is in the wrong.

He's going to crack.

Watch out.

Mr. Kam...

I will do what is right.

Throughout the years,

as long as I am here,

I will fulfil my duty.

We call upon Desmond Chung.

Dr. Chung,

you've been married for ten years,

but your affair with the Defendant
lasted for eight.

Would you agree,

that you are a dishonest person?

I disagree.

Where were you on
the night of the incident?

I was at the studio,
filming a TV show.

After that?

During the filming,

I received a call from the Defendant.

I couldn't pick up
for obvious reasons.

So I called her back when I was
done filming.

She didn't pick up,

so I made my way to her house
to see her.

Apart from the Defendant,

did anyone else try to contact you
that night?

Yes.

My wife tried to call me.

Tell me the sequence of the events,

did you go to the Defendant's
house...

...after you received a call from
your wife?

Yes.

Why?

I had a fight with my wife over
the phone.

So I didn't feel like going home,

and decided to go
to see the Defendant.

But you just told the Court,

that you tried to call the Defendant,

she didn't pick up,

and that's why you made your way to
her place.

What actually happened?

Are you hiding something from us?

I am not.

May I suggest,

that it was your wife

who told you to go to the
Defendant's house?

As you rushed into the house,

you saw your daughter laying in the
living room.

Do you agree?

I do not.

Please take a look at all the
barristers over there.

Have you met them before?

Or are you going to hide something
from us again?

Yes, I have met them before.

When?

Last night.

Did you meet them all at once,
as a group?

Yes.

Did they give you

legal advice last night?

Did they teach you how to deal with
the questioning today?

I don't suppose you're going to
deny that?

Now look at the gallery,

there is not one single person from
the media here.

Look at these barristers.

All these counsels.

All diligently writing their
so-called "Watching Briefs".

Something is wrong.

Dr. Chung,

it feels like you think you are
above the law.

Whether you agree or not,

you are going to answer "do not
agree" anyway.

I take that question back.

That's the end of my questioning.

Your Honour.

Your Honour,

I will take over the questioning now.

Dr. Chung,

can you tell us,

what happened when you arrived...

...at the Defendant's house
that night?

I got out of the car,
and walked into the house.

Please be more specific.

I got out of the car,
walked towards the front door.

Turned on the nightlight,

and fetched my keys to open the door.

As soon as I got into the house,
I saw my injured daughter.

I immediately went over to
check on her,

at the same time, I tried to get the
Defendant's attention.

She came in then went out to get her
phone to call 999.

How long was the Defendant away for?

About one or two minutes.

Within that one or two minutes,

you and the victim were the
only people,

in the house?

There were no other witnesses?

Do you agree?

Yes, I agree.

Allow me to show you something.

Do you recognise these water bottles?

I do not.

Is that so? Are you sure?

Yes I am.

Do remember what you've just told
the Court.

Dr. Chung,

The two water bottles that were just
shown to you,

were they the same brand as what the
Defendant had

in her house?

Yes.

Please look at the evidence in
front of you.

I refer to the photo P8-04.

Have you noticed that

your daughter was very into the
knitted angel dolls?

Yes.

Did you notice the nightlight at the
front door,

had a knitted angel doll made by
your daughter?

It didn't leave an impression on me.

She had the whole house filled with
these dolls,

that's why I didn't
pay particular attention.

Dr. Chung,

there's something that is crucial to
this case.

It is your integrity.

I would like you to answer this
question honestly.

When you wife went to bribe
Chan Ball,

were you involved?

I don't understand your question.

It's not a complicated question.

Let me ask you again.

When your wife went to bribe
Chan Ball,

were you involved?

Please answer now!

Were you, or were you not, involved?

I was not involved.

The bribing of Chan Ball by
your wife,

is that something,

you condoned or otherwise?

Someone is trying tip off
Desmond Chung!

Your Honour,

I suspect activities are taking
place in Court,

that may be considered "Obstruction
of Justice".

My clerk will monitor the situation,

and report any activities instantly.

Prince, as soon as you notice
Dr. Chung...

...turning his head toward the
Gallery for advice,

please jot down the accomplices.

Let's see who wants
their licence suspended.

No problem!

I am a keen observer,

and I can spin my chair super fast.

Counsels, watch out!

I am obliged to remind everyone here,

"Obstruction of Justice" is a
serious matter.

The Court will not
tolerate such activity.

Mr. Kam, you may continue.

Dr. Chung,

please answer the question now.

The bribing of Chan Ball by
your wife,

you condoned or otherwise?

I...

Did you condone your wife's action,
Dr. Chung?

I don't remember.

I am not asking whether you
remember or not.

I am asking whether you condoned her
action or not.

I did not condone her action.

Not condoning implies you were aware
of her action?

So you knew all along!

How much longer did you intend to lie
to the Court?

Your wife pushed your daughter over,

and you conspired with her to give
false testimony in Court.

There was a trial, and now a retrial,

how much time and effort have
we wasted?

That same time and effort...

...could've been better used,

and not wasted on garbage like you!

Mr. Kam!

I have no further questions.

Defence?

Yes, your Honour.

Dr. Chung,

Prosecution asked about these knitted
angel dolls,

hand made by your own daughter.

Could you please tell us,

what this angel doll was covering?

The nightlight at the front door.

The nightlight at the front door.

Did you say,

you had to switch on the
nightlight...

...before you took the keys out?

Yes.

Is it because it was too dark,

and you were not able to find
your keys...

...without the lights on?

Yes.

You are lying again.

I am not.

I switched on the nightlight,

then I unlocked the front door.

No, you did not switch on any lights.

This is a photo from the
police report,

taken the day after Jolene Tsang
was arrested.

Look at the nightlight.

Do you see a light bulb?

Yes or no?

Yes or no?

No.

No.

Your daughter put a knitted angel
doll at the front door,

so that you won't miss it.

Your daughter wanted to attach the
doll to the nightlight,

the Defendant helped by removing the
light bulb.

Otherwise,
it would've been impossible.

You didn't switch on the nightlight.

There was no light bulb.

I really did unlock the front door!

No, you did not.

Like you said,

it was too dark out there,

without a light, you wouldn't have
been able to unlock the door.

You could get into the house because
the front door was already opened.

Your wife,

Victoria Chung,

was there before you.

She left in a hurry,

and left the door wide-open.

That's why you could get in,
in the dark.

The door was wide-open.

You lied to the Court!

You lied to the Jury!

You did so because you knew...

...the truth would mean...

...the release of the Defendant.

Let's look at these water
bottles again.

You told the Court,

the Defendant bought this brand of
water regularly.

Let's take a look at the photo P8-05.

Inside the rubbish bin,

there are two bottles.

Dr. Chung,

as a doctor,

please answer the following question.

When a patient loses a lot blood,

and is given a lot of water,

what will happen?

The patient will die!

On the night of the incident,
the Defendant saw you

kneeling next to your daughter.

Moments later, she saw you throwing
away two water bottles.

Your daughter was seriously injured,

why were you concerned about
something so trivial?

You knew full well that,

heavy blood loss and heavy water
ingestion shouldn't mix.

You never wanted your daughter alive.

Because if she stayed alive,

she would've told the truth,

and your wife
would be in deep trouble.

All you've gained from being a Chung
would be gone,

all gone.

Therefore,

you gave your daughter plenty
of water,

even though she was bleeding heavily.

One bottle after another.

May I remind you,

the members of the Jury

will assess not only your words,

but also your demeanor.

Judging by the way you are looking
right now,

you seem to be telling the Court,

that it wasn't the Defendant...

...who was afraid of the truth,

it is you!

Do the two of you know what you
have done?

If you really don't know,

may the Court tell you now:

you two conspired to murder the
Defendant's daughter,

who was also your very own daughter!

Desmond Chung!

Desmond Chung! Look at me!

Is it true?

Is it true?

I have no further questions.

Master Adrian.

Phew.

It's time for closing from
both of you.

Members of the Jury,

I initially asked you to consider the
nature of the crime.

Today,

I would like to say this to you.

As a Prosecutor,

my main objective is not...

...conviction.

I am tasked to ensure every
Defendant...

...gets a fair trial.

After these past few days,

you have been equipped with the facts
to come to a fair verdict.

Members of the Jury,

I once told you...

...your Common Sense...

...would guide you to the
correct verdict.

You heard what have been said
in Court,

all the testimonies
from the witnesses,

I am now convinced that,

you will reach the correct verdict,

and clear the Defendant's name.

Your Honour, I rest my case.

Members of the Jury,
you may now retire to deliberate...

Wait a second!

My colleague Ms. Fong said earlier

that in the Court today...

...something is wrong.

I am sorry, Ms. Fong.

It's not just something.

Today, here,

everything is wrong!

The Court of law...

...was meant to be a place of
justice, a place of fairness.

Look at it now,

the privileged class is abusing
the system.

They think they are
the master of everything,

including the Law.

They sit there, looking down on us.

But I am telling them now.

Today is not your day.

Justice will prevail today.

As someone who works on
criminal cases,

I have seen some of the ugliest
things in the world.

The darkest, most evil things are
what we witness every day.

But we carry on regardless,

and put on our wigs and our gowns.

The only thing...

...that motivates us,

is that we can show the world a
glimpse of justice,

and not be manipulated by the rich
like puppets.

We used to say "all people are equal
before the law".

But we don't say that anymore.

We now know "poor people are fucked
before the law".

Well, let's see who's getting
fucked today.

Enough is enough,
I think you are done for today.

I sure am done.

Be seated immediately!

Defence is seated.

Mr. Lam, the defence counsel,
acted very unprofessionally.

You may choose to
ignore his closing statement.

Are you ready to retire and
deliberate the final verdict?

Yes, we are.

You may now retire to deliberate.

Members of the Jury,

have you reached
an unanimous verdict?

Yes, your Honour.

We the Jury find the Defendant,

Jolene Tsang,

Not Guilty.

Defendant, please stand.

Concerning the Murder of Elsa Tsang,

The Court has found you Not Guilty.

You are free to go.

Court!

Amazing.

Thank you.

I don't agree with what you
did at all.

I did what I had to do.

I was unprofessional.

I feel ashamed.

If that's what

it took to do the right thing,

so be it.

Thank you.

Thank you.

(God works for us)

Yes!

Desmond Chung,

Victoria Chung.

I am the Assistant Commissioner of
the Anti Corruption Commission.

I have reasons to believe that you
are involved in...

...a case of witness bribery.

Also, we have just been informed by
the Police...

...that you are now murder suspects.

Please come with us.

This is a nice place,
plenty of space.

It's not that much space,

it's only this much space.

That's pitiful.

You need at least this much space.

I am sharing with two other counsels.

He can introduce you to some
useful people,

that should help you with the rent
for a bigger space.

Beauty and the Gangs - that's a
lovely gimmick.

Well cool.

I had a glimpse of her partners...

...so beautiful.

Here's the deal.

If Master Adrian joins the firm, we
can rent the office next door, too.

That's right, join us!

How about my clients in Mongkok?

They can take the MTR.

Those beauties...you've got to
consider them, Master Adrian.

What beauties?

The beautiful fixtures of the office,
they are so lovely.

Congratulations indeed.

I like this place, I do.

Granny, are you going to pay up?

Have a look at this.

Look at the scratch.

She did that.

Right here,
that's where she scratched it.

Tell her to pay up.

I haven't got all day.

Tell her to pay up.

Be quiet!

What's quiet, hurry up!

(Please stay to watch till the end)

Action!

I have a question...

I dropped the jacket...

I beg your pardon, your Honour.

Was it a good take? Hooray!

It was so hot.

...Not be manipulated by the rich
like puppets.

It was a good take.

No more surprise.

Thank you.

Fight for

the Hong Kong films!

This is the tongue.
