Court!

As a defense counsel,
I used to help people clear their charges

As a prosecutor,

I can convict real criminals

Winston Zhou

Mr Winston Zhou,

at 18:45

on October 31, 2012,

in Rm 3610 on 36/F
of Chinese Liaison Building,

you were suspected of violating Section 122

of Chapter 200 of the Laws of Hong Kong

by indecently assaulting
a 25-year-old piano teacher Jane Li

How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?

Not guilty

The Reagan Chan
case is as you have expected

He played victim

while duping small shareholders

Many employees lost their jobs as a result

What about Fortune Bank?

I just investigated for you

They deliberately misled
those small customers

into purchasing structured
investment products,

causing great loss to everybody eventually

I'm not going to take the Reagan Chan case

And I won't settle out of court

with Fortune Bank

How come you never accept certain cases?

I won't accept cases I don't believe in

Did you forget

I'm the master of your chambers?

Aren't you supposed to be liable to me?

I'm only liable to my clients

I can't think of

any chambers you can fit in

If our destinations differ,
we go separate ways

You should understand that

Patient Liu Cheng-on

Please go to Chinese Medication Room
to collect your medicine

Dad, what is it about?

Just leave the stuff here

Every time I called you,

you never replied

You could leave a message

I gave you a tie at your graduation

I wonder if it's still there

If there's nothing else, I better get going

But you only just came

Stay a bit longer

If I don't need to be
hospitalized regularly,

would you still come visit me?

Ray Hung, the property developer
suspected of sexual assault,

is in court today

Details of the case
will not be made public till after the trial

Why don't you discuss it with Ms Chan?

If this trial continues,

Ms Chan's personal life

will be exposed

If the charge is changed to molestation,

my client will plead guilty immediately

We lawyers should not make
decisions for our clients anyway

Property developer Ray Hung
was in sexual assault again

2 weeks after his release

The victim is the plaintiff

in the molestation case

You told me to reduce his sentence

Now he's not scared

Is there a deal between you lawyers?

Aren't you obligated to protect me?

An attorney merely proposes

what questions
the defense counsel will ask you

You're well aware of my situation

You know how it would ruin me

"Rape Plantiff Commits Suicide"

Don't bring me any fruits next time

I can't eat sweet things
because of my illness

All right

"Father"

Is your dad alright?

Well...

Where are you going?

To Beijing

Have you forgotten?
Haven't we agreed already?

I'm taking my students
to Beijing this weekend

We're going back to see my parents

Have I said that?

Tell me, have you forgotten?

Since I've forgotten anyway, just stay

This song, Christmas Rose, is very difficult

Ms Zhao needs to learn it
within a short time?

My boyfriend loves the song

I want to give him a surprise at the wedding

Congratulations!

Thank you

Ms Li will teach you from now on

Good

Just call me Jane

I'll be much obliged

Thank you

Nurse Lin, sorry for being late today.

Never mind

Jane

Doctor Zhou

During my last period,

my tummy hurts

Don't worry. I'll give you a checkup later

The nurse will help you change

Looks like you
prefer this dress to the other one

Let's order this one then

But I've decided to lose weight

Still?

You're already very skinny

I just quit Hill's Chambers

But don't worry

Tim, I know your greatest dream

is to open your own chambers

We have savings anyway

Use the cash. We can delay the wedding

If it's not enough, I can borrow from my dad

Opening my chambers or not doesn't matter

I don't want you to worry about my work

Nothing will affect our wedding

I want you to be my happy wife

Jane!

What happened to you?

Any prescriptions, Nurse Lin?

It's only a checkup today

Thank you

Jane?

OK
I have to go

Didn't you want to see Tina

at Dr Zhou's place?

I don't want to go

I'm not feeling well.
Let's go back to the shop

Dr Zhou
Ms Law

Didn't we say we would leave together?

It seems that Jane is not feeling well

She wants to go back and rest

Oh, I see

Never mind. I'll give you a lift

Thank you

You are welcome

I've decided to join you
and work for the government

Being a court prosecutor just like me?

I went to the Legal Department
to be a prosecutor

As a defense counsel,
I used to help people clear their charges

As a prosecutor, I can
convict real criminals

It suits me better

Hey...

You still have to take the test this year?

Of course

I'm only one step away from being a lawyer

Good luck! Cheers!

Let me...

Sorry, Dr Zhou

Let me help you

Come

Stay away!
I'll help you

What's with you?

Stay away!

Jane, what happened?

What's going on here?

Nothing, we're fine here

Miss, are you all right?

Should we call an ambulance?

Miss

Hello? Speaking...

What's the matter?

I'm Freddy Xue. Just call me Freddy

Winston Zhou

Let's cut to the chase

They will take your statement in a moment

But I want you to remain silent

Let's wait till you're released on bail

We'll have a meeting outside

and we'll give it further thought

We'll then give the police

a full statement, OK?

I'm innocent

I understand

How pretty

Looks better on camera than in real life

First,

there's no direct witness in this case

But since you're Jane Li's employer

and doctor

and your clinic was the alleged crime scene,

the Prosecution
can find lots of evidence of doubt

You're in breach of trust

This sort of cases is usually prejudicial

to men

Mrs Zhou, since your husband is a celebrity,

please be prepared psychologically

Before the court has passed its judgement,

public opinions will have convicted him

This is the social pressure
of public opinion

There's one thing that favors you though

In criminal cases,

you are presumed innocent by the law

The burden of proof lies on the prosecution

However, besides the girl in this case,

there was no other eye witness

It's a matter of the court

trusting your testimony

or hers

Tim!

It's a case of indecent assault.
Can you handle it?

Sure, no problem

It's not complicated

By the way,

the defense counsel

is from Hill's Chambers

Who?

Freddy Xue

Do you know
who is the prosecutor for your case?

It's Tim Chen

Freddy Xue

He has a meteoric rise in recent years

He won't take cases that don't make money

He has never lost a single case

His father is some entrepreneur
in the Mainland

So a rich brat like him can be capable too

It's weird you guys never met

Maybe because we wish
to protect different folks

Here's the main point

Besides Winston Zhou's information,

I found out that at the age of 6 of 7,

Jane Li was sent to an orphanage
by her mother

She later had an accident
that crippled her legs

Then she started giving kids piano lessons

And now, yet another atrocity

According to psychologists,

desertion and sexual assault

leave the worst scars

Mr Winston Zhou

at 18:45

on October 31, 2012,

in Rm 3610 on 36/F
of Chinese Liaison Building,

you were suspected of violating Section 122

of Chapter 200 of the Laws of Hong Kong

by indecently assaulting
a 25-year-old piano teacher Jane Li

How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?

Winston Zhou

How do you plead?

Not guilty

Join Tina's birthday party

at our place next week

William has swimming lessons on Sundays

Oh, I see

Shirley has painting lessons

Never mind. I've written the invites anyway

Thank you
I'll give them to you first

Thank you, so beautiful

Yes, it's so delicate and beautiful

The show starts now

Tina!

OK! That's it for today's rehearsal

Let's do it again next week!

Say goodbye to your teacher
Bye

Mrs Zhou, there are reporters outside

Mrs Zhou,

do you believe Mr Zhou is innocent?

Mrs Zhou, do you believe...

Say a few words!

Little girl, has your dad and Ms Li

done anything irregular?

Hey! You're too much! Get out of our way!

Mrs Zhou...
Mrs Zhou, say a few words

Ms Li is here!
Make way please!

First Trial

Hi, Tim! I've heard so much about you

I'm Freddy

Nice to meet you

Nice to meet you

I've heard so much about you

I feel as if we've known each other for ages

Yes
Is that so?

I know your dad

was a famous prosecutor too

I've studied many of his cases

He was my idol at school

I'm so glad I can go

to trial against his son today

Pleased to meet you

Court!

Your Honor,

the Prosecution calls

as witness Sergeant John Li

Sergeant Li,
can you describe the event to us?

According to Ms Jane Li's statement,

at 18:20

on October 31, 2012,

she went to the defendant's
clinic for checkup

When the defendant conducted the checkup,

he illegally touched her breasts
and lower body

On the floor and on the bed
in the crime scene,

we collected
both parties' DNA and finger prints

Both parties' statements
and the injury reports

indicate prima facie evidence
can be established

We therefore decided
to prosecute the defendant

Sergeant Li

during the entire alleged indecent assault,

were there any eye witnesses?

In most cases of indecent assault,
there are no...

Please just answer "yes" or "no"

No

In other words,

the police based their judgement entirely

on Ms Li's statement

and some circumstantial evidence.

Is that correct?

You can say so

In fact, the evidence you have mentioned,

only suggests that they
had physical contacts

It doesn't imply

Dr Zhou has assaulted Ms Li

Can I say that?

You can

Let me ask another question

Why is the police so certain

the evidence is enough for prosecution?

Is it because...

the plaintiff

is a young girl on a wheelchair?

Are you so eager

to protect the underprivileged

that you decide the accused
must have violated Ms Li?

Am I correct?

Your Honor,

objection. The question is leading

Your Honor,

no further questions

Ms Law, what happened

on the day of the incident?

That day our class was delayed

So I telephoned Dr Zhou that we'll be late

and I accompanied Jane to the clinic

After Jane Li entered Dr Zhou's room,

were you present at the scene?

No, I waited for her outside

Did you hear any sounds

from the room?

I seem to have heard someone cry

How did it sound like?

Did it sound like Ms Li crying for help?

I'm not sure

I watched that drama

you had been watching

During the exact time
of the alleged incident,

the two leads were having a fierce argument

They shouted vehemently

Are you sure the sounds came from the room?

When Ms Li exited the clinic,

did she mention to you

that Dr Zhou had molested her?

No

But her eyes were red, as if she had cried

Could Ms Li have red eyes because

she had worked hard and was tired?

Objection!

No more questions, Your Honor

Ms Lin, were you present throughout

Ms Li's checkup?

I was there at the beginning

Then a patient who just left

the clinic called,

saying he had left his meds

The meds were for his asthma
and he's an elderly

I thought I ought to give him the meds asap

When you returned to the clinic,

was Dr Zhou still examining Ms Li?

When I returned to the clinic,

I found Ms Li having fallen on the ground

I immediately helped her get up

What happened?

If you are a patient now,

and a male doctor is examining your body,

and there are just the
two of you in the room,

if you feel something wrong,

would you terminate the checkup?

I would

What if the doctor would not stop?

I would get up

and leave immediately

If, unfortunately,

your feet cannot move?

What would you do?

You would struggle desperately,

using your upper body to push him off

and flee

But too bad your feet cannot move

Eventually, you fall down from the bed

Your Honor,
when a doctor examines a patient,

he is not legally required
to have a nurse present

I have 38 letters from patients

who have been seeing Dr Zhou

over the years,

testifying to his professional

and moral integrity

Your Honor, according to Exhibit P7 supplied

by the Prosecution,
namely Ms Li's medical report,

the sex organs in Ms Li's lower body

could be as sensitive
as those of ordinary people.

Ms Jane Li

When Dr Zhou's hand approached your breasts,

did you protest?

Yes, I did

When he continued the checkup,

did you feel the defandant place his finger

inside your sex organ?

Yes

Did you indicate resistance?

Yes

Did he stop in accordance
with your indication?

No

The more I struggled,

the harder he grabbed me

Then the phone rang

And he stopped

Do you know who called him?

What else did he say?

Hello?

Yes, we just finished the checkup

Wife, I'll be back for dinner very soon.
Wait for me

OK, bye

And then,

I wanted to take the opportunity to escape

but fell down from the bed

The nurse entered the room

She saw me and helped me get up

All right

I want to ask you another question

Did Dr Zhou employ you?

Or did Mrs Zhou?

They employed me together

Can you elaborate?

Eve introduced us

This couple

wanted me to give
their kid piano lessons at home

Mr Zhou said he could arrange transportation

I already explained the problem
with the pedal

They think it's all right for a beginner

You mean to say that...

Dr Zhou took the initiative to employ you

and even offered you transportation

Is that correct?

Yes

Your Honor,

I have no further questions

Ms Li

After the nurse left,

did Dr Zhou continue the checkup?

Yes

He said, "Let's continue"

How did he continue the checkup?

He started pressing
different parts of my body

before putting his hand on my breasts

Breasts?

When you said breasts,

did you mean here?

No, a bit lower

So you were referring to the lower chest,
right?

No, yes...

Have you had physical checkup before?

No

So what criteria did you use to judge...

Dr Zhou's checkup?

I could feel being molested

I felt uncomfortable

I knew he was molesting me

What had Dr Zhou done

to make you uncomfortable?

He took my panties...

off

Wait

Because your lower body is paralyzed,

you cannot take your panties off yourself

Can I say that?

I cannot when I'm lying down

I understand. Please continue

And then,

I saw...

him put his finger...

into my lower body

Saw?

Ms Li

You were lying in bed

and you were wearing a robe

You couldn't have seen that

You mean

you felt it, right?

Yes, I felt it.

Since you said you had felt it,

can you indicate on this picture

which part of your body had that feeling?

Here

So what you meant by lower body

is actually

the sex organ?

So what did you feel at the time?

I felt...

his finger...

twitching

What kind of feeling was that?

It could be pain or pleasure

Objection

Mr Xue, please pay attention
to your question

Excuse me, Your Honor

Ms Li

You said you never

had a lower body checkup?

Never

Could you have confused lower body checkup

with molestation?

I did not confuse

I was really molested

I really felt his finger
twitching in my lower body

Are you a virgin?

Your Honor,

whether Ms Li is a virgin

or not is irrelevant

Your Honor,

whether Ms Li is a virgin or not

as well as her sexual experience

are critical to this case

Her accusation could cause serious damage to

the defendant's d reputation

Please let me ask the question

Objection overruled.
Please proceed cautiously

Ms Li, please answer my question

Yes

Have you ever had a boyfriend

or tried any sexual activities?

No

Nothing, right?

Right

So I think you must have been mistaken

Dr Zhou's checkup

is just regular checkup

I did feel his finger twitching
in my lower body

How long did the lower body checkup last?

I don't remember

You remember the nurse left for 5 minutes...

but not how long the checkup lasted?

About one minute then

I'm actually quite curious

If Dr Zhou really molested you,

why hadn't you told the nurse

or Ms Law at once?

I was scared. I didn't dare to say anything

You didn't know how a lower body checkup

should feel like

You couldn't tell body checkup

from molestation

Your Honor, Ms Li said she could feel it,

but she actually didn't know

Dr Zhou was only using a cotton swab

No!

He was using his finger!

to extract secretions for laboratory tests

It wasn't his finger as she has claimed

No!

This is the cotton swab
used by the defendant

to extract secretions from her

Your Honor,

I have no further questions

Ms Li...

Don't push...

Many people are supporting him now.

How do you feel?

Everybody, please calm down...

Please get out of my way...

Ms Li
Please step aside...

How's the situation outside?

The cars of the TV reporters
are still out there

Where's Jane Li?

She seems to be shocked by the reporters

Have a word with her

It's Tim

Hello?

Be prepared during this period

Those reporters will come out of nowhere

I fear that might affect
the kids taking lessons

Don't think too much

You have behaved very bravely

I don't want to press charges anymore

Don't worry

I will claim justice for you

So sorry for troubling you

Don't think like that

We shouldn't condone people like that

What's so scary?

Treat the reporters as your students

Everyone is striving to ask you questions

But sorry,

the teacher only teaches nice kids

Ms Li, I need to talk to Yan. Thank you

Sure

Is she feeling better?

She's fine. Let's see

Ming Jun

I need to pick Tina up at school

This is it

Come in

How pretty

Whenever I'm tired,

I'll pick a postcard

Then I'll close my eyes

and imagine I'm on a trip for a few seconds

I wish I had the chance

to visit every single place

Every single place?

Isn't it too greedy?

No...

Please take a seat

It's good to dream

What's your dream?

To see my son grow up healthily

Look

Tim was there too

My wife had a premature labor

I was at court at that time

So he drove them to the hospital

Ms Li gave you this

Good morning

See you at court

Good luck!

Second Trial

The Defense calls Dr Mandy Wu,

Senior Lecture of Gynecology

A female full body checkup

normally includes the lower body,
unless individual subjects refuse

When examining the lower body,

a doctor will

extract secretions
from the sex organ for lab tests,

in order to check if there are abnormalities

or granular objects on the sex organ

which could be benign or malignant tumors

This is very important

So during the checkup as described,

the subject could have twitching

sensations in her lower body?

Some women,
especially if it's their first checkup,

or if they have no sexual experience,

might be oversensitive,
uncomfortable or resistant

So would the subject misunderstand that

the doctor is trying to violate her?

That's the worst nightmare

of most male doctors

Such misunderstanding

can ruin their reputation

Who would dare to see them again?

Mrs Zhou,

what's your opinion of Mr Zhou?

He's a good man

A 100% good man

He is very conscientious at work

and he takes good care of the family

He loves me and our daughter

On the day of the incident, at 18:38,

did you telephone Mr Zhou?

I did

What did he say?

He said he had just finished the checkup

He asked me to wait for him for dinner

During your telephone conversation,

did you hear

or feel anything exceptional?

Like the sobbing sounds of a female

No! Exactly the same as usual

The defendant never lies to you, right?

Right

He says frankness is paramount in a marriage

During the ten years
from your first date till now,

has the defendant

had affairs with other women?

Certainly not

Do you believe he's secretly

dated other women?

I don't believe

Do you believe he's secretly dated Jane Li?

Certainly not

This is the defendant's SMS record

The items with the stars

are the SMS texts
the defendant sent to Jane Li

I'm going to read aloud the content

"It's your birthday next week.

Can I take you out for dinner?"

You haven't said a word since the court

What's going on?

Nothing

What's on your mind?

Nothing

Something is obviously on your mind

Do you doubt me?

No

Then why are you upset?

If you were me, you'd be upset too

Are you bored with me?

So leisurely?

The court will start in 30 minutes

You better think of a way to beat me

Beating you or not doesn't matter

I only want Winston Zhou to get his dues

Your judgement is a bit premature

You know there are lots of holes

in the evidence

If this drags on,

Jane Li will only suffer more

Don't hold me responsible then

You should tell your client

It's only because he wouldn't plead guilty

that Jane Li is suffering so much

Everyone has the right
to make his own choice

See you at court

I, Winston Zhou,

honestly swear and affirm

that the evidence I give shall be the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing but the truth

Third Trial

Dr Zhou,

during Ms Li's body checkup,

did you feel

any exceptional moves on her part?

After I finished her body checkup,

she suddenly grabbed my hand

The laboratory report
will be ready in 2 days

Grabbed your hand? What was your reaction?

It was too sudden

So I did not react

Meaning her behavior

was totally unexpected

Correct?

Yes

On Ms Li's birthday,

did you send her an SMS asking

to take her out?

Yes

Why did you do that?

She told me she had no company
on her birthday

It just happened that I was free that day

I pitied her spending her birthday alone,

so I asked her out

But you did not mention this to anyone?

Including your wife?

No

Because it didn't work out in the end

I would have asked my wife

and daughter to join

I understand

That's why you asked her out

It's only out of goodwill

Right

And also your compassion for her

You can say that

Hmm...

Mr Zhou

Besides at home
and when giving her rides home,

have you met Ms Li

in other occasions?

My clinic is closed to her piano store

I had lunch with her several times

Did you take the initiative?

Yes

Why?

She's lonely and sad.
I felt like taking care of her

So did you have affection for Ms Li?

No

Then why did you have dates with her alone?

You didn't even tell your wife

You have dates with someone
you're not fond of?

Objection, Your Honor!

The adjective "fond"

is too general

Please allow the defendant to explain

Objection sustained

The defendant please explain

Because she's an excellent piano teacher

and she loved my girl,

so I took care of her

I absolutely had no affection for her

Do you think she had affection for you?

I mean the amorous kind

I had suspected that, but I wasn't sure

because she would give me little gifts

What little gifts?

origami roses

She also gave Tina similar gifts

If you said Tina also had
these origami gifts,

why do you think Ms Li
had affection for you?

Could it be...

a subjective projection of your own?

No

If as you've said,

Ms Li was truly fond of you

Did you ever feel tempted?

Objection!

The question calls for speculation

Objection overruled

The defendant must answer the question

No

Absolutely no

Mr Zhou,
I really don't understand your mentality

You said Ms Li had affection for you

and you also knew she trusted you very much

You are a doctor,

but in the absence of any nursing staff,

you gave her a body checkup

and touched her private parts
during the process

Even if you did not break the law, I believe

you've violated
a doctor's professional conduct

Did you intentionally take advantage of her?

Objection!

I did not.
I did not have ulterior motives for her

Objection!
Do you like Jane Li?

Objection!

I have never liked Jane Li
Objection!

Your Honor,

the prosecutor is imposing
his views on the witness

If he keeps answering his own questions,

the witness will be rendered superfluous

Prosecutor,

please mind your questioning style

Did you ask Ms Li

to have a checkup at your clinic?

Mr Winston Zhou,

please answer my question

She said she did not feel well,

so I asked her to
have a body checkup at my clinic

I was just being kind...

That's OK, I was only asking
I'm a doctor

if you took the initiative
This is my profession

Perhaps you did not intend to

It's my work

molest Jane Li
I did not

But you did all these things

only to create
an opportunity to get close to her

Absolutely not true
Finally you made it

I did not. I had no desire for her

A last question

If you are innocent,

why should Ms Li ruin your reputation?

Tim...

Oftentimes, we have intuitions

But this time...

What's the problem?

By going through this trial,

the victim has
to constantly revisit the incident,

with much of her private life exposed

To the victim,

it's almost a mental torture

Many people would have quitted

Why do you think Jane Li

can persevere?

Why?

I noticed she had a moment of hesitation

When?

When you asked Winston Zhou

why Jane Li would ruin his reputation.

Have you ever doubted
if Zhou could be innocent?

This time you're not like your usual style

Your intuition is totally
biased towards Jane Li

Don't you want to help her also?

Don't you want to find out who's guilty?

I don't want you to win a case

at your own cost

I'm very clear what I'm doing

I'm back

Barrister Chen? Let's have dinner together

Why are you back?

Why are they here?

Didn't you say
you're not coming back tonight?

That's why I invited them over for dinner

What's wrong?

Ms Li,

we should minimize
our contact during the trial

It's not your problem

But as the prosecutor, I need to avoid this

You want me to pack a doggy bag for you?

I'll give you a lift

Never mind
Thank you

We can go back ourselves

OK...

It's pouring outside

Let Megan drive you back

Let me help you

OK

I'll start the car first

Wait here a little bit

Come down in ten minutes

I'll go first

OK

I'm sorry to disappoint you...

I just want what's best for you

Oh, the car keys!

I'll give them to her

Please have a word with her

She's under a lot of pressure. Please

This is for you

Thanks

The one last time...

Is it still here?

It's in my briefcase

Put the two together

They will give you blessings

Do you know?

Your perseverance
is very important in this case

If we win the case,

what will happen to me?

The criminal will be punished by law

How about me? What will happen?

Of course, you can live the life you want

But in fact,

my original life...

is not what I want either

I don't want to be stuck
in the room in the shop

I wish I could be like you guys

and could see the real world outside

Sergeant Li found me Jane's hospital records

when she broke her legs in an accident

I also investigated the orphanage
where she stayed

I suspect she changed her name

but I'm not sure

What does it have to do with this case?

Jane Li never talks about her past

I'm afraid Xue might challenge her integrity

I'll take a look

There's another thing I want to say

Go ahead

I think Jane Li has somehow indicated

to Zhou

that she totally trusted him

That's why he suggested the checkup

Zhou was like you right now,

always protecting Jane Li's interests

Thank you for your intuition

But that's all speculation on your part

Closing Submissions

"Are you the light that
shines into darkness,

offering rebirth through pain?"

"Will you be my guardian angel?"

Your Honor,

in this case,

Mr Zhou

was Ms Li's employer and doctor

And yet he still indecently assaulted her

He had obviously abused her trust in him

During the course of this trial,

it's beyond doubt

Mr Zhou had affection for Ms Li

Being alone together
under these circumstances,

and with the physical
contacts during the checkup,

it's quite likely

the defendant had violated Ms Li

As a result of this trial,

Ms Li had to undergo huge media pressure

And yet she persisted in her charges

not in search of compensation

or profit,

but for the sole intention

to uphold the integrity

of a disabled woman

I hereby

request Your Honor

to find the defendant guilty as charged

Thank you

Your Honor,

this case is simply
a case of misunderstanding

Ms Jane Li is socially inexperienced

and physically impaired

She was unfamiliar with the normal
procedure of a body checkup

and mistook the defendant's goodwill...

for indecent assault

In fact,

the defendant is a professional doctor

He was only doing his job

However, this case

has ruined the defendant's reputation,

having brought tremendous blow to his family

I believe Your Honor is crystal clear

that throughout the course of this trial,

neither police findings
nor witnesses' testimonies

can attest to the fact

that the defendant

did in fact indecently assault Ms Li

The defendant
must have the benefit of the doubt

I request Your Honor

to find the defendant not guilty

Will the defendant please rise?

Upon consideration of the evidence submitted

and the closing arguments of both sides

the Court is convinced

the defendant's hand
did touch the plaintiff's sensitive area

The question boils down to who was active

and who was passive

The Court agrees that

the evidence provided by the Prosecution

proves the defendant
indecently assaulted Ms Li

He being her employer and doctor

still conducted such a vile act

was clearly a breach of her trust

The Court finds
the defendant guilty as charged

He shall be remanded in prison immediately

pending a psychiatric assessment
before sentencing

Court!

Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you,

Happy birthday to you,
happy birthday to you,

Tina, happy birthday! Make a wish

I wish daddy will come back soon

He will be back soon

The report on Jane Li's name change

I read it today

You read it after the trial?

Have I made a mistake?

I don't know

The goal of the law
is to protect people, right?

Right

To protect people

Not only to determine who is right

and who is wrong

Also to protect people from being hurt

You mean if Jane Li had lost,

she would have been deeply hurt

Dr Zhou might also be seriously hurt

Have you thought about it?

Did you make all these origami roses?

Yes

Is that your handwriting?

Did you write on the roses

you gave Zhou?

What did you write?

Don't touch!

"Dr Zhou,

I've been missing your smiles"

Look at me...

You look at me!

As a matter of fact,

you're in love with Winston Zhou, right?

Frankly speaking,

did Winston Zhou molest you?

You must believe me

You have to believe me

Hello?

Speaking

Dad...

We didn't expect he would depart so suddenly

But it was a peaceful departure

These are his relicts

I really hated your guts

Since I was little,

you'd told me...

a good lawyer...

should uphold justice

I've believed you

and have taken you as my role model

But did you accomplish that?

You didn't!

Because of you,

I've been trying all along...

to find the answer for justice,

to prove to you that

the woman who died because of you

in that case you had taken...

was your fault!

But at this moment,

I hate myself even more

I can give other people

a chance to explain,

but...

I never gave you even a single chance

Did you have any predicaments?

Because now I realize

I'm just how you had been.

Dad,

can you tell me?

How's Tina?

Not bad

I'm looking for a new school for her

You think she will know?

From the get-go till now,

she's never asked a single question

Are you really appealing?

Will you support me?

I will

We will support you

But...

can the case really be overturned?

I'm really innocent

Tina and I are innocent too

You support me

because of this family

or you really believe me?

"Jaywalking Girl

Knocked down by Mini Bus"

Upon consideration
of the new evidence submitted,

the Court agrees

to reopen the case

for the interest of justice

What happened?

Your car broke down?

Let me have a look

You haven't tuned your car for a while?

You car is dead

Better call a tow truck

Hey

Are you in a hurry? I can give you a lift

I'm good

By the way,

do you believe Winston Zhou?

What? You think that matters?

You don't have a conscience?

Why are you so na�ve?

You were once a defense counsel too

You had to believe it every time

you sought justice for your clients?

I just want to know the truth

Do you really know the
rules of the game, huh?

Who do you think you are?

You think you can save the world
by assuming moral high ground?

Let me tell you

You won last time not because you were good

You were simply aided by social bias

You know what?

Your biggest error
is not your moral high ground

but the fact that you're in the wrong field

You want the truth?

During the course of
the trial, you were seen

maintaining regular private
contacts with Jane Li

On the night before the closing arguments,

you even visited her in the piano shop

A prosecutor cannot contact

the victim privately

I don't know how intimate
you are with Jane Li

But it was around midnigh,

I don't think you went to the piano shop

to take piano lessons!

Take care

Court!

Your Honor,

over the past year, Ms Li

has been giving origami roses

to the accused, Dr Zhou.

She even wrote messages

on the folded paper

Please examine Exhibit D16.

It is clearly written on the paper

"You smiled at me 5 times today"

Now Exhibit D17

She wrote on another folder paper

"Have you used the same water cup

I used at your place?"

Ms Li, please confirm

whether it's your handwriting or not

Yes

So were you in love with Dr Zhou?

No

So who did

you take Dr Zhou for?

A student's father

Would you write such sweet

nothings to a student's father?

Would you sent flowers with innuendos

to a student's father?

Whether you admit it or not,

these roses betrayed

your affection for Dr Zhou

But that doesn't mean
the affection was reciprocal

In fact, on the day of the body checkup,

Dr Zhou rejected your manifestation of love

You were so embarrassed that

you turned around and accused the defendant!

Objection!

Am I correct?

Objection! The question is leading

Objection overruled

No

No further questions

Ms Li

to like someone

doesn't mean he can molest you, right?

What is the chance of our appeal?

Depends on how much you could sacrifice

What do you mean?

The truth about you and Jane Li

Dr Zhou,

How did you deal with

Ms Li's affection for you?

Why didn't you tell your wife?

I didn't take it seriously

I couldn't stop her

from liking me

I didn't tell my wife

as I did not think

it would affect our relationship

Mr Zhou,

does a woman without sexual experience

need to have lower body checkup

so soon?

Many young women have similar checkup

There's nothing wrong

Your Honor,

there are many kinds of
gynecological checkup

Mr Zhou invited Ms Li

to his clinic for body checkup...

Objection!

There's no specific timing regarding

when a woman should take a body checkup

The Prosecution's question

is argumentative

Objection sustained

Please proceed

Your Honor,

the Defense calls Qian Liu
as its 4th witness

The one subpoenaed, right?

Yes

I, Qian Liu, honestly

swear and affirm

that the evidence I give shall be the truth,

the whole truth,

and nothing but the truth

Ms Liu

Are you Jane Liu's biological mother?

Yes

When did you send her

to the orphanage?

When she was ten

Why when she was ten?

Did something happen?

I used to rely on my mother
to take care of her

Then my mother died

I tried to take care of her myself

but I simply could not do it

How about Jane Li's father?

You don't know where he was?

Or you don't know who he was?

When I was pregnant with her, I was but 18

I was too young, too na�ve

I was reckless, so I wasn't sure

Do you know she had an accident

after you sent her to the orphanage?

I do

Please describe the accident

The orphanage said she was assaulted

Her legs were hurt during her escape

You mean sexually assaulted?

Yes

Did Jane Li tell you who raped her?

The dean told me

It was a male nurse

Did anyone call the police?

As far as I know, they didn't.

Supposedly the male nurse had left

After this incident,

did you find Jane Li to be any different?

I heard from the orphanage that

she was scared of men

Your Honor,

I have a psychiatric report of Jane Li

conducted after her incident

The report clearly stated that

the assault brought fear

and insecurity to Ms Li

It'd create difficulty
when she interacts with the opposite sex

During intimate contact,

it could trigger her earlier trauma

and evoke a feeling of sexual assault

This report also mentioned that

Jane Li had a low self-esteem

She lacked confidence

She yearned and feared of intimacy
at the same time

Therefore, the men she has met

did not actually assault her

But what once happened to her

would create faux feelings for her

She is unable to determine what is real

and what is not

Ms Liu...

I'd like to ask you

After your daughter had been assaulted,

did she receive any checkup

that would alleviate her fear?

There's none that I know of.

Never?

Did she still live

in the orphanage afterwards?

When she's 18,

she left the orphanage

I've never heard from her again

He did not violate me at all

He did not violate me at all

The Prosecution
has no questions for the witness

The Prosecution wishes to call Ms Jane Li

for supplementary testimony

Objection!

The Prosecution has rested already

The prosecutor

should be experienced enough

to know his request is contrary
to normal legal proceedings

I understand

But the testimony provided by Ms Liu

about Ms Li's experience in the orphanage

and her mental state are all hearsay

Isn't it better to ask Ms Li directly?

I thus request Your Honor
to use your discretion

to let the Prosecution call Ms Jane Li

to shed light on the truth of the events

Your Honor...

All right, I agree for now

Ms Liu, you can step down

Ms Li,

based on Ms Liu's descriptions just now,

I would like to ask

if you were sexually assaulted

by a male nurse at the orphanage

I'll ask you one more time

Is it true a male nurse sexually
assaulted you

at the orphanage?

Given enough time, doesn't a lie...

become the truth?

But in reality, is it true

or not?

Nurse Yip did not assault me at all

It's her man who raped me.

You are referring to?

That night...

her man

entered my room

He whispered in my ears

that he loved me very much

and began to kiss me

I thought he loved me

Then he began to touch my breasts

I kept crying

I said no to him

and then I felt an intense pain

I told him it hurt, it hurt...

It hurt so much... no!

I saw my mother standing at the door...

looking at me

Why didn't you help me?

Why didn't you help me?

Why could the man stay

after this vile act?

Why should I be punished?

Why?
Sorry... Sorry!

Mom didn't want this happen too
Why?

To protect you,

I sent you to the orphanage

No more excuses!

It's true!

Don't say you were protecting me!

Sorry

You simply didn't want me!

I had to face it myself

while you and that man lived

as if nothing had happened

Also...

why can't I accuse anyone
of sexually assault?

Because you said

I could not feel it!

True

I really couldn't feel anything

I want to feel it too!

I want to feel it like you all!

I also want to walk!

Why can't I do that?

Why can you live a normal life?

Why can't I?

Why can you all lie and find excuses?

Why can't I?

Why can you find love but not I?

I'm always alone!

Why am I deprived of love?

This is Ms Li's medical report that year

After the accident,
she's hospitalized for a year

She was first diagnozed
with general paralysis

But after continuous efforts,

she finally managed to move her upper body

Then she continued to exercise her legs

But one day

the doctor told her to give up hope

Who could truly understand

the psychological trauma
she had gone through?

Abandoned by her family, Jane Li

did not only lose a pair of legs

but her hope for the future

She has persevered till today

I am very much convinced,

as long as everybody,

including herself

who can give herself a chance,

she will definitely see her future

Mr Xue, any further questions?

"Private and Confidential"

Your Honor,

I have no further questions

I'm sorry

It's not common for attorneys
to shake hands,

but I'm glad to have met you in this case

So am I

"Live life without regrets"
