What happen?

Sir, the girl was already dead when we arrived

he wouldn't tell us a thing

what's your name?

Your honour

what I have here is a duplicate of evidence d1

miss lo

according to an article published on march 29th this year

on the 'shock news' website titled

'unjust admission standards at hon yeung school

admission tests exempted for principal's friends'

as the editor-in-chief, why did you choose to report this?

At first, I received complaints from some parents

they found out that the children of

friends or relatives of the principal

were admitted without being interviewed

they thought

for the children who have worked hard for the admission tests

this was really unfair

court

your honour

my client pledges not guilty

my client never engaged in any Hawking activities

and she didn't set a price on the cardboard

therefore, no monetary transaction was involved

and the $20 the Indonesian domestic worker gave to my client

should be considered as a personal gift

not money from a transaction

did you continue with your research?

I wrote to the school, but I didn't get any response

so I did my own research and investigation

the crime happened in private property

which is managed by a private owners' corporation

therefore it was not public property

I've noticed in the past few years

the number of students who got admitted

without an interview kept increasing

but the school had no formal explanation

I firmly believe in the parents' accusation

so I decided to write an exposé on it

thank you, miss lo

by the way

your daughter also goes to hon yeung international school, right?

Yes

I'm innocent, your honour

granny

get up

- don't cry - I'm begging you

your honour, as a journalist

she plays a monitoring role in the incident

she makes sure that when choosing their students

the school remains fair and consistent

her opinion is lawfully and reasonably construed

as 'qualified privilege' in the defamation ordinance

it shouldn't be considered defamation

therefore, her accusation of defamation should be ruled false

my client is an elderly lady who lives alone

she has diabetes and needs long-term medication

she could have applied for social security assistance

but she didn't

she believes she can provide for herself

your honour

temper justice with mercy

will you consider an appeal?

Granny, any thoughts?

What's your plan going forward? Do you think the ruling was fair?

Granny is innocent

she doesn't have to bear responsibility for this

we're extremely upset with the adjudication

we'll study the verdict and consider an appeal

don't mess up again

or I'll charge you full price next time

I'm not a big corporation

how can I afford you as my legal consultant?

I'll ask for your advice whenever I'm in doubt

I've got to go, bye-bye

Kelvin lost 12 cases in a row

what an exceptional legal genius

don't say that about him

I know, you won 12 cases in a row

drop me off at the post office

what for?

I finally collected the entire set, I'm sending them to Elise

surprise!

You're sending to my daughter these dolls

what a cheap surprise

what do you know about girls?

This morning

a female corpse was found in an industrial building in ngau tau kok

25-year-old male suspect, Lee, was arrested on site

the victim is identified as Hong Kong billionaire kwok sai-wing's daughter

preliminary evidence suggests

cause of death as excessive blood loss from a fractured skull

the authorities have classified this as a rape and murder case

kwok sai-wing refused to comment on his daughter's murder

you met her at the bar, she invited you home

you got drunk after having sex with her

she was dead next to you when you woke up?

Yes

the door was locked

you were the only one in the house

if it wasn't you, who the hell was it?

Officer, I didn't do it

I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill her

I... remember now

I heard some noise when I was sleeping

enough! If you knew how to solve it, you would have already

then I smelled something acidic

when I woke up again, there you all were

what acidic smell?

Didn't you say you were blackout drunk?

You trying to give me a false statement?

I didn't give a false statement, I was really drunk!

I didn't kill her!

Slow down, take it easy

if you don't remember clearly

then let's not record this part of the statement

no! I mean it, I remember smelling something acidic

check if this statement is all right

if it's fine, sign it

meanwhile, it's important that you assist our investigation

understand?

Take a look

sign it if it's all right

officer, I'm Lee yat-fung's grandmother

someone called today and said he got arrested

I'm here to bail him out

I'm officer chiu, I'm in charge of this case

we are formally charging your grandson with murder

you can't bail him out now

there must be a mistake, officer

my grandson is a delinquent, but he won't kill anyone

let me see him and talk to him directly

the suspect is not feeling well

and we have a regulation

we have the right to reject anyone who might compromise the investigation

you can't see him today

you should go back and find him a good lawyer

Don't do that, paying the fine means admitting guilt

you didn't steal the cardboard, I'll be filing an appeal for you

don't worry about the retainer

I'll call you later

Kelvin

don't worry, I'm not your boss

just pay your rent on time

but seriously, losing 12 cases in a row

is as difficult as winning 12 in a row like me

keep it up

I'm not losing, it's just that I haven't won yet

don't be so petty

you get paid regardless, so you can afford your rent

barrister lui

the law might be a business to you,

but it is sacred to me

I won't give up until I win

very good, keep it up

attorney cheung, wait here, I've notified barrister ho

okay, thanks

attorney cheung

I've already hired you

yes

why do I need to hire another lawyer?

Granny Lee, I'm a solicitor

and Lee yat-fung's case is a criminal case

so we need a barrister to represent him in court

I don't want him to be my grandson's lawyer

it's not him

Granny Lee, please come with me

barrister ho

you must help my grandson, he's innocent

did you give me a discount on the retainer?

It's okay, charge me the normal price

it's more important that you help my grandson

I'm begging you

granny, relax, don't worry about the retainer

I really want to see him

is there anything you can do to help?

I promise I'll arrange a meeting as soon as possible

he really is innocent, he really is

he won't do anything like this

What's the plan?

Department of justice hasn't pressed charges yet

according to Lee yat-fung's statement

when he was sleeping in the victim's workshop

he heard some loud noises

this building has only one apartment on each floor

there are factory outlets on other floors

normally, nobody would be around at these hours

"Manslaughter"

any problems?

Doesn't the law guarantee everyone the right to a fair trial?

You want him to confess before the department of justice presses charges?

Besides a plea bargain,

what better suggestion do you have?

Kelvin

we are defense attorneys, not Sherlock Holmes

kwok ka-yee's killer is not the main focus

and is not our responsibility

the key to this case is

how to give our clients the biggest advantage

this is a simple principle

you should've learned that during your first year of law school

I learned that 'everyone is equal before the law'

everyone should be considered innocent until proven guilty

Okay

Indian lettuce

us$1o

thank you

Auntie chu

you grandson is being accused of murder

it's a tough case

stop talking about murder

my grandson never killed anyone

Barrister ho might not be able to help you

go find barrister cheung

he's good at handling cases like this

Take this cheque, he is quite expensive

We won't accept any compensation from the kwok's

that's right!

Listen to me, calm down

Mr. Lui, conciliation out of court is your best option

everyone will lose if we go to court

let me tell you

we won't stop suing until we're at the court of final appeal

as the major landlord of sing fu shopping mall

you must bear all responsibility for this incident

objection

the plaintiff has made an unreasonable accusation

as the plaintiff fails to prove the collapse of sing fu shopping mall

ls directly correlated with the quality of construction materials

provided by kwok properties

the collapse is purely accidental

and is not caused by human negligence

I now pronounce that kwok group is not obliged to pay compensation

the plantiff must settle all court and tribunal fees

you didn't know about this?

We only know that his daughter goes to a boarding school in the UK

but no one asked where her mother was

'The law holds that it is better that ten guilty persons escape

than that one innocent party suffer'

- sir William blackstone

Do you smell cigarettes?

I promised someone I'd quit

you used to be quite righteous

you helped the underprivileged fight against the high wall

what happened?

You're oversimplifying things

so if everyone stands on the side of the egg

the high wall will fall by itself?

Leave it here

The most pressing issue is to let auntie chu see her grandson

piece of cake

you don't have to do a thing in there

I guarantee dicky will see auntie chu before his hearing

okay?

Thank you

Mr. Lee

I'm ho hok-ming, your grandmother hired me to represent you

what about my grandma? Why isn't she here?

I'm arranging a meeting for you

is she all right? Where is she now?

Don't worry, your grandma is fine

Mr. Lee yat-fung

did you ask barrister ho to refer me

barrister lui yau-fai, as your chief defense attorney?

Yes

officer, since you forgot to turn off the cctv

you might as well be my witness

turn if off, please

Mr. Lee yat-fung

from now on, I am officially your defense attorney

if anyone asks you about what happened that night

all you have to say is

'I'm sorry, I'm unwell,

I don't want to answer your questions'

okay?

I'm sorry, I'm unwell,

I don't want to answer your questions

good

What are you doing?

Our client is hurting himself, call an ambulance

I'm a man of my word

Can you please explain?

Officer

my assistant and I are here to see my client Mr. Lee yat-fung

Thank you

Grandma

grandma, are you all right?

Grandma

I didn't do it, grandma. I didn't kill anyone

I just wanted to drink, when I woke up, I saw her...

I've always told you not to drink

why don't you listen?

I'm sorry, grandma

I never asked you to be a genius or a billionaire

I just wanted you to be a good person

is it that hard?

Grandma, I know I messed up

your parents are not around anymore

do you want grandma to be left alone too?

No, grandma

no, grandma, I won't do it again

I'm sorry!

When you're in jail

don't fight and argue with others

yes

remember to eat no matter what

don't listen to what people say against you

don't fight with others

I won't

listen to this man from now on

he's the only one who can save you, understand?

I understand

I'm sorry, grandma

Defendant Lee yat-fung is suspected of murdering kwok ka-yee

a female of Chinese descent on 18 oct, 2018

defendant, do you understand the charges against you?

Yes

defendant will be detained in lai chi kok reception centre

while awaiting trial and further investigation

mention will be held on 20 nov

these days, young people like us

only earn a bit more than 10k each month

we can't even afford a trip to Japan, let alone owning properties

how can we give up a trip to Japan?

We can take budget airlines and stay in hostels

our generation should be open to changes

never lose faith

thank you

Mr. Tsang

kwok sai-wing's daughter kwok ka-yee

was found dead in a property under your name

do you have anything you'd like to say?

What's your relationship with miss kwok?

I just read about this on the news

I'm truly saddened by it

the two properties under my name

have been handled by my colleagues

as far as I know, the rent is lower than average

so young people can rent it as workshops or band studios

I sincerely hope that you will

give some space to the bereaved to cope with their grief

thank you

vote for candidate no.1

thank you for your hard work

Daddy

thank you

thank you for being here for my son's election rally

when chi-wai graduated from school

he said he wanted to join cfp

and serve the Hong Kong people

I thought he was only joking

so I said, you must do well at the district level

after 5 years of hard work

I think he's more mature

and definitely able to serve the people of Hong Kong

sounds good?

Yeah!

Thank you for your support

yes, Mr. Tsang

smart ass, what's your problem?

'Tate's cairn tunnel'

not 'Tate's kairn tunnel'

it starts with a c

all your English posts have bad grammar

and you don't know Chinese

did you get your degree by lottery?

- Rubbish - sorry

Who's the woman who barged in to interview me?

Why didn't anyone block her?

If I didn't handle it by myself

we would've all been screwed, right?

Sorry

from now on, in all of my election rallies

we will only invite proper journalists

not this bitch we saw today

understand?

Yes

get back to work

Take care

my condolences

uncle, please accept my condolences

if I didn't make Angie stay in Hong Kong

this wouldn't have happened

don't blame yourself

now we know the truth

Angie can rest in peace

Uncle, I'm leaving for now

chi-wai

do you mind staying here with me and Angie?

Master

I've read through the case

it's attempted rape turned murder

simple case

my superiors are concerned about this case

I want you to be the lead prosecutor

why not?

The defense has hired lui yau-fai and Kelvin ho

you must know that lui yau-fai is every prosecutor's kryptonite

but I'm confident in my students

I know you will perform well

I'll be okay

we've got all the prima facie evidence

we just need their counter-offer

I'm about to retire

do well and I'll recommend you to

the secretary of justice to be the recorder of the high court

you've spent all these years looking up from below

it's about time you sit up there

thank you, master

Do you really recognize him?

Yes

the girl was drinking here that night

the guy thought she was hot

he came over to flirt with her

but she ignored him

I even heard her tell him to piss off

DOJ has confirmed to charge Lee yat-fung with murder

Tina took the vacuum bag for lab analysis this morning

except the robot vacuum cleaner in the crime scene

we found nothing else

this crime scene is too pristine

there are doubts in the case

all the statements and evidence

have pointed towards dicky being the murderer

there's a loophole in the collection of evidence

in the evidence list

let's forget about kwok ka-yee's computer

there isn't even a cellphone

how can a person live without a cellphone nowadays?

The vanished phone and computer

if we present these doubts in court

even Joe can't do anything about it

give me the list of eyewitnesses who gave statements

all of them are male except the cleaning lady

then where is the girl sitting next to Angie that day?

She must know some crucial information

we must find her soon

I've found her

she's cat

Angie's assistant

ls cat the murderer?

If it wasn't her,

then why hasn't she shown up since the incident?

I had to catch a plane that night, so I left early

before you left,

did Lee yat-fung interact with miss kwok?

I forgot

miss kwok's laptop is gone, do you know where it is?

How would I know?

I just got off the plane, I haven't even gone home

that laptop is very important to us

let's talk another time

this was fixed a long time ago

I thought you didn't want it anymore

I forgot about it, thanks

someone told the press that Mr. Tsang had an affair with kwok sai-wing's daughter

can you get Mr. Tsang to respond?

Media partners, please calm down

Mr. Tsang will not be commenting on anything today

please leave for now

"$5 million, or I'll be leaking more risque photos next time"

"No caller ID"

hello?

This is cat

you should know that I have a lot more with me

let's get it over with, so we can go our separate ways

no problem

where should we meet?

2pm tomorrow, sheung wan parking lot

come alone, don't play games

Daddy

she wants $5 million for the photos

be smart!

Sorry, daddy

Mr. Tsang

it's simple, I'll find someone to get rid of her

do you really know how to do it?

Where's my money?

Give it to me

Get in

If it was just the photos

tsang chi-wai wouldn't have been so nervous

how do I know?

Maybe he's worried that if this gets out

he won't get elected

speak up, maybe we can help you

perhaps things can change

miss chan, please help us

Okay, he reached out to me that night

I've been looking for Angie all night

are you with her right now?

I was at the workshop, and the password was changed

what do you want?

I'm outside the workshop, just tell me

'3690', don't let her know I told you

all right, I got in

that's all

this recording is key to this case

if you can articulate this in court

dicky will definitely be acquitted

do you want your boss' death to go unsolved?

Where's your conscience?

'Conscience' doesn't put food on the table

if I go to court, what will tsang chi-wai do to me?

Do I have a choice?

But dicky is innocent

if you don't help him, no one can

forget it, Kelvin, you can't force it on her

add cat to the list of defense witnesses tomorrow

but I really won't know

what tsang chi-wai will think then

Mr. Tsang, you reached out to me personally, I'll get it done

don't worry

just keep an eye on them

take action when you see that girl

that's it

Please vote for no.1, thank you

way to go

thank you, let's take a photo

thank you, vote for no.1

hello

Hello?

Barrister lui,

I have some information on the kwok group and cfp

given to me by their former financial director

I want to seek your legal advice before posting it online

let's meet up

let me organize them, see you tonight at 11

Have a seat

Mr. Tsang

I've always wanted to meet you, barrister lui

today is the day

would you mind cruising on the tram with an old man?

I haven't taken the tram in a while

my first job was a tram driver

I joined the labor union to attain better benefits for the workers

and before I knew it, I've founded cfp

this year marks

the 40th anniversary of cfp

congratulations

we politicians are no different from you lawyers

when I was young, I fought for truth and justice

but what now?

The conclusion is

nobody needs these things

these are just slogans and gestures

they don't make a living

even if you sacrifice yourself fighting for it

would anyone remember you? Or even care?

Barrister lui

talented people like you

shouldn't represent delinquents like Lee yat-fung

what a shame

consider working for us at cfp

as my legal consultant

Signing bonus

That's right

if you want someone talented

you should spend more money

barrister lui

I'm adding $1 million on the table

I'm sorry, Mr. Tsang

I just received a cheque of $50,000 from Lee yat-fung's grandmother

it's all that they had

as a parent

even when you know your children have made a mistake

you will save him at all costs

Mr. Tsang, I'm sure

you know that feeling very well

I'll get out of your hair, Mr. Tsang

I'm leaving

Daddy, tai-tung got it done

with so much happening in this world everyday

people don't need to know every single one of them

when did you start seeing my daughter?

Uncle, I...

I knew all about this

Angie was a sensible girl

chi-wai knows how important this election is to him

they broke up before he signed up for the election

right, chi-wai?

Yes, uncle

Angie and I had a fling, but we broke it off

Barrister lui, I'll fetch it for you

"fire breaks out at nam sang wai"

"use of vacant government land"

barrister lui

Tina was about to publish this draft after consulting with you

"front page!"

What is it? What can I do for you?

We've found a witness

we hope DOJ can protect the witness

you should know that it's against regulations

it'll be easy for me to know what you have

saving lives matters more than winning

Fine

okay

officer chiu, thanks for coming

Security measures are not up to par

I suggest transferring the witness

Officer chiu

This is east kowloon rcu inspector chiu kwok-fai

I was ambushed while transferring a witness

both the witness and the evidence are missing

what is it?

Please send backup

Make yourselves at home, sorry it's a bit cramped

is miss cheung still at work? Should we call her?

There was an accident, she's in the hospital now

she's in the hospital?

I'll bring her some soup later

there's no need

the doctor said she's fine, she'll be discharged in 2 days

you have to go to court tomorrow, rest up

right, auntie chu, don't worry

we found a crucial witness to the case

your grandson will be home to have your soup soon

I know how hard it must've been on you both

Auntie chu, have a goose leg

here

"Be a good lawyer"

A female corpse was found

in an industrial building in October this year

the identity is confirmed to be billionaire kwok sai-wing's daughter

and has become a very high profile case

the murder trial starts today

here he is

Mr. Kwok

say a few words

what do you have to say?

Mr. Kwok

any comments?

Frankie

Joe

long time no see

last time we saw each other was right here 5-6 years ago

I don't remember who won

I used to count how many times I've won

but recently, someone taught me

that the law is sacred, not just a business

if that's true, what's the point of keeping count?

Good luck

Court

Case no. Hccc96/2020,

defendant Lee yat-fung is suspected of

murdering kwok ka-yee,

a female of Chinese descent on the night of 18 oct

prosecutor, please summon your witness to testify

your honour

I'd like to summon Mr. Chan kwok-sing, bartender at king pub, to testify

what did you see that night?

The victim drank a lot that night

Thank you

hottie

this is for you

how did the victim react

when the defendant bought her a drink?

Piss off

fine

the victim ignored him

and the guy just walked off

witness

you said the victim turned down my client

do you remember what the victim said?

The victim told the defendant to 'piss off'

according to your statement

my client flirted with the victim that night

and the victim told my client to 'piss off'

is that right?

Yes

that's not possible

this is a screen capture from the cctv that night

it was completely packed

I went to king pub myself

and did a simple experiment

I recognize him, that night...

I recognize him

music was loud, with strong bass speakers

the noise level was over 90 decibels

witness, could you really hear what the victim said?

Yes

witness, you must have ridiculously good hearing

your honour, I'd like to summon my client Lee yat-fung

Mr. Lee yat-fung

please tell us what happened that night

that night

I met Angie at the pub

hottie, this is for you

what's your name?

Angie

then she invited me over to her studio

When we got to her studio

we had a few more drinks

then I hugged her

we started kissing

Then we had sexual intercourse

After that

we drank again

I had too much to drink, so I passed out

and then what happened?

I remember when I was sleeping

I think I heard some noises

but I was too drunk to wake up

I was woken up by aloud shriek

then I realized it was already the next morning

I woke up and saw...

I saw Angie... lying next to me

and the floor were covered in blood

she wasn't breathing

this is when I realized

she was dead

your honour, no further questions

defendant, what time did you arrive at the pub?

Around 11:45pm

you said you had a lovely chat with the victim

can you tell us what you two talked about?

She told me

about her art installation at moma in New York

a new acquaintance who's pretty and cute

do you admit that you were instantly attracted to her?

Objection

calls for speculation

your honour, this is not speculation

this directly reflects on the defendant's motive to rape

overruled, defendant must answer the question

please answer the question

yes

I admit...

Evidence suggests that you consumed a lot of alcohol at her studio

can you tell us how much you drank?

3 bottles of red wine and a bottle of whiskey

sorry

I'm afraid I might be mishearing it

the spectators and the jury might have missed it too

can you repeat how much you drank that night?

3 bottles of red wine

and a bottle of whiskey

I don't think my entire family can finish all that

did you get drunk?

Yes

that's why he raped the victim

- it was consensual - you took off the victim's clothes

but she refused and pushed you away

she kept struggling, and you couldn't control yourself

so your raped and killed her

No, I didn't kill her!

You just have to answer yes or no

it was your plan all along

since the moment you met

you used her interest in art to lure her back to her studio

you pretended to share her interest

just so you can rape her when she was drunk

but the victim wasn't drunk enough, so she fought back

you were worried about the consequences

so you decided to rape and kill the victim

- it was your plan all along - no!

Unforgiveable

no! I didn't do it! That's not true!

Your honour, I have no further questions

Your honour

I'd like to summon our witness, chan sze-man

witness, please tell us your relationship with the victim

we were partners at work,

and we hung out sometimes

sometimes we went out drinking, we even traveled together

I was drinking with kwok ka-yee at king pub that night

when you were drinking

what were you doing when the defendant flirted with the victim?

I had to catch a flight to Europe that night, so I left early

when did you come back to Hong Kong?

Did you know about the death of the victim when you were abroad?

I didn't return to Hong Kong until 2 weeks after the incident

I turned off data roaming on my phone

so I didn't even know that my friend died

if I could turn back time, I wouldn't have traveled

I wouldn't have left her alone

did anyone reach out to you on your way to the airport that night?

Do you know tsang chi-wai personally?

I only know that he is up for an election

I don't know whether kwok ka-yee knew him

tsang chi-wai is your landlord, how could you not know him?

We only pay rent to the realtors

kwok ka-yee was your friend

and business partner

I'm sure you'd notice whom she frequently texted

or talked with over the phone?

I didn't notice

did you know that kwok ka-yee was involved in an affair?

She had an affair with tsang chi-wai

she wouldn't do that

then why did you use their intimate photos

and messages to blackmail him for $5 million?

I didn't, I don't know anything about it!

Stop pushing me!

Your honour, no further questions

Daddy

it worked out, thank you

son, don't just look at the golf ball by your foot

you have to observe the hole ahead of you

What's the matter?

This is his attorney

comein

thank you

Dicky

are you all right?

Turn around and let me see you, okay?

I'm all right

I accidentally hurt myself in the shower

don't file any complaints

please don't

I listened to you

when people asked me about this case

all I said was

'I'm sorry, I'm unwell,

I don't want to answer your questions'

if I keep saying that

will I see grandma soon?

Barrister lui

promise me

don't tell my grandma

I don't want her to see me like this

please

Thanks

how's fung?

Don't worry, he's fine

can I go see him?

You need to apply for a visitor's permit

come, I'll take you home

Barrister lui

I'm already 69 years old

if fung can be released after 7-8 years

I'll still be in my seventies

he can still have a meal with me

let's make him admit to manslaughter

we can't beat them

auntie chu

if you give up now,

dicky will never be able to get back on his feet

I'm not saying I'm giving up

I know you're working hard

very hard

but we've caused you pain and suffering

barrister lui, I don't want to relive what happened 10 years ago

this is completely different from the sing fu incident, auntie chu

barrister lui, you were sure you were right 10 years ago

but we still didn't win

if we lose this time, I won't live to see his release

Let's admit to manslaughter

I just talked to Joe

he said if dicky confesses, everything is negotiable

What do you think?

What's your opinion on it?

What's up with you?

Say something

tell me if there's another solution

can you say something?

Cat is a lost cause, okay?

We can't win this case

it's murder! He'll be sentenced to life!

From this day onwards

Lee yat-fung's case is none of your concern

I'm his one and only defense attorney

I know you don't want to lose

I know you want to avenge for Tina and Jessica

but that's not how it works

you're the one who taught me

as defense attorneys, we should consider our client's best interest

I'll say it again

he can't hold on much longer!

I'm very grateful that

we are leading on the preliminary polls

let's hope we gather more support

let's keep up the unity, okay?

Yeah!

It's not much but consider this as a mini celebration

also

I'll make a toast with coffee instead, thank you

thank you, Mr. Tsang!

Keep up the good work!

Grab some food

feel free to eat up

Mr. Tsang

don't you underestimate how much I know

you killed kwok ka-yee and Tina

why did you have to hurt Jessica as well?

I feel truly sorry

for the death of these two ladies

Hong Kong is governed by rule of law

if you have proof, then report to the police

don't come and mess around here

you have to be smart in order to survive

silly boy

barrister lui

you are an attorney

assault is a serious crime

remember what I said today

next time, I'll see you in court

Elise's godmother

have you finished collecting this set of dolls?

Every doll looks the same to me

I don't care

when you wake up, you have to send the whole set to Elise

I know you'll wake up soon

if you don't see me when you are discharged

you'll stay strong for me, right?

Got a minute? Let's talk

Frankie

what is it? What do you want to talk about?

You have all the details of the case

I know we'll definitely lose in court

but I don't intend to have my client admit to manslaughter

so you're meeting me just to fulfil your duties?

I'm not like you

I don't charge by the hour

but don't waste my time like this

Joe

when was the last time you took a tram?

Sweetie

tell me

have I been selfish

by insisting that you come back?

If I let you stay in the United States

things might not have turned out this way

you're the most important person in my life

why don't you tell me?

What do I have to do to bring you back?

Answer me

Mr. Kwok, there's still something you can do

I'm lui yau-fai, the defense attorney on your daughter's case

I'm sorry

this is the only way I can approach you

I recognize you, what do you want?

To seek the truth

so that the real murderer can be punished

Tsim sha tsui, central, admiralty, wan chai

you can see all of Hong Kong in a glance

there are only a handful of rich and powerful people

there are two right here

kwok group went public in 1984

at the time, councillors like you

kept arguing with the brits at the legislative council

I remember you once said

'kwok, the world will change

if we work together then

we'll be in charge of everything'

but it seems that you're the only one taking charge

things have changed, I'm old and faded

how can I compare myself to you?

Is that right?

What happened to Angie will be over soon

but we still need to live on

when chi-wai's election is over next month

let's go to xi'an together with the delegation

let's take a break and enjoy ourselves...

I finally know who the murderer is

I've been looking for Angie all night

are you with her right now?

I was at the workshop, and the password was changed

what do you want?

I'm on my way to the airport, she told me not to give you the password

I'm outside the workshop, just tell me

3690', don't let her know I told you

all right, I got in

these were all found in your daughter's computer

and cat's cellphone

I'll take all the blame, as a father...

Your bastard son killed my daughter!

The vacuum cleaner was filled with his DNA

this is a lab report of the vacuum cleaner from your daughter's workshop

it states clearly that

tsang chi-wai's DNA was found in the bag

no one can prove the authenticity of this anonymous document

the judge might not even accept this as evidence in court

chi-wai will definitely be elected in the by-election

eventually, he'll be the chairman of cfp

his people will take over

if you give him a chance

you're also giving youself a chance

you should have guessed

who Angie's real murderer is

I can help you put him behind bars

this is the last thing you can do for your daughter

I funded his election campaign and your entire organization

he killed my daughter, and I still have to prop him up?

Are you two out of your goddamn minds?

Did you forget?

If no one supported you

they wouldn't always be building a subway station next to your land

or stop building public housing whenever you introduce a new housing project

without cfp's support

your ship would've sunk a long time ago

this is proof that for the past 12 years

cfp councillors have been reserving land along the subway

to kwok group for private residential development

Angie and chi-wai are not our only burdens

we are responsible for many people

if we go down

the economy will go down with us, Mr. Kwok

how much are you willing to sacrifice for your daughter?

My daughter is the only one I'm burdened with today

I'm old

I only realized after she's gone

that we can't take anything to our graves

nothing here matters anymore

I knew the boat would sink the moment I invited you over

you think I'm only taking you down?

I'm taking the entire cfp down!

Your son or cfp

you make the call, not me

I've been subpoenaed as a witness

they just want you to testify

just be careful with what you say

I don't know what other witnesses will be present

I'll get a barrister to teach you what to say

just be calm and careful

it'll be fine

"Be a good lawyer"

court

Your honour

I'll now summon our second defense witness, tsang chi-wai

Witness

reports claim that you had an affair with the victim

is that true?

Witness, please answer my question

is it true?

Yes

can you explain

your relationship with the victim before she was murdered?

We had broken up

broken up?

But kwok ka-yee said

she'd never leave you

how would I know what she said to other people?

I had severed ties with her

where were you that night?

I was home, I didn't go anywhere

do you have a friend named chiu kwok-fai?

I do not

your honour

jury members

there's a recording in this phone

that states clearly that at 2am that night

tsang chi-wai messaged a friend

I messed up at Angie's house

I accidentally killed her, come over now

there's a drunk kid in the house

shence

the owner of this phone is a police officer

rcu senior inspector, Mr. Chiu kwok-fai

witness, please introduce yourself

I'm chiu kwok-fai

rcu senior inspector

do you know tsang chi-wai?

I do

how did you know him?

15 years ago, when I was still at the traffic branch

I had to testify for Mr. Tsang's innocence after a traffic collision

can you describe your relationship?

Mr. Tsang was thankful for my help

and invested in my family's restaurant

so I returned the favour

I would lend a hand whenever he's in trouble

would that include helping him get out of this murder?

Objection

leading question

sustained

can you tell me where you were that night?

What were you doing?

I was home

I received a text at around 2:30am

can you tell me who sent it to you?

Tsang chi-wai

he texted you so late at night

was it something urgent?

He said

he killed someone

I've been looking for Angie all night

are you with her right now?

I was at the workshop, and the password was changed

what do you want?

I'm on my way to the airport

she told me not to give you the password

I'm outside the workshop, just tell me

'3690', don't let her know I told you

Angie

I'm sorry

didn't you ask for a break up?

Why are you here?

Angie

the break up is temporary

I know it's been tough for you lately

but I promise

when the election is over

everything will be the way it was before

I'm so sick of this

you always say that you love me

but the one sleeping beside you is your wife, not me

I have to see your public display of affection all the time

have you considered my feelings?

I'll give you more of my time, okay?

This is not what I want

I want official status

I want you to belong to me completely

I don't want to sneak around any longer

I'll deal with it, okay?

Don't worry

enough!

If you knew how to deal with it, you would've already

I know

you're scared that your father will know about us

you're just a daddy's boy

I'm calling my dad now

and I'm putting an end to this

Angie

- let go - don't tell my dad

Want to take me down?

Daddy's boy?

I messed up at Angie's house

I accidentally killed her

come over now

tell me what you've touched

there's a kid in the bedroom

there's a kid in the bedroom

Tsang chi-wai committed murder

we blamed everything on that kid

chi-wai!

That's not true, you're lying!

Chi-wai!

Your honour, he's wrongfully accusing me!

Daddy!

Save me!

Daddy!

Daddy!

This'll last you a lifetime after your release

Mr. Kwok hopes that you'll tell the truth in court

Didn't I tell you

we would meet again in court?

- Grandma! - Fung!

Everything's fine

it's all good

go and thank barrister lui

- thank you, barrister lui - congratulation

- thank you - congratulations

grandma

wash away your bad luck with pomelo leaves

why did inspector chiu turn into an accomplice witness?

You gotta pay your tuition

I'm kwok sai-wing's attorney

I'm here to see inspector fung

please wait

all the trade details between kwok group and cfp

are right here

I'm here to turn myself in

don't act on impulse

you're not doing anyone any good

all I want is justice

whoever played a part in my daughter's murder

will not see the light of day

Barrister lui, these officers are here for you

Mr. Lui yau-fai

we've received complaints

claiming that you've falsified documents

please come with us for further investigation

okay

The falsification claim

might not go through

it's just a routine investigation by the bar association

oh yeah

so I can write whatever I want?

Joe, when was the last time you took a tram?

Do you believe that Lee yat-fung committed murder?

I shouldn't be answering this question

nor should you be asking it

Same old mistake, interference with witness

this is not the original recording

it can't be presented as evidence in court

do you believe in it?

Barrister chan Hong-iai

I would like to seek your legal advice

based on attorney-client privilege

are you willing to accept my employment

and keep our conversation strictly confidential?

Why not?

How can I help you?

Hypothetically speaking

I have a friend who wants to prank another friend

and put trash into his friend's vacuum bag that isn't his friend's

then remember to tell your friend

you cannot be certain that everything is 100% true

it's just unprofessional conduct

they won't confiscate everything

if the price is reasonable, I promise it'll go through

Gentlemen

on legal terms, falsification of documents

means forging or modifying a document

with the intention to deceive

in order to obtain benefits

with this incident

my client acted on impulse

and pulled a prank

My client took this vacuum bag for re-examination

and received this new report

my client gave this new report to Mr. Kwok sai-wing

theoretically,

my client did not falsify this new report

therefore, my client did not commit

the offense of forging or modifying a document

this is a lab report of the vacuum cleaner from your daughter's workshop

it states clearly that there are traces of tsang chi-wai's DNA

when my client gave this report to kwok sai-wing

he stressed that

he's uncertain about the authenticity of this report

who wants to prank another friend

you cannot be certain that everything is 100% true

no one can prove the authenticity of this anonymous document

the judge might not even accept this as evidence in court

therefore, my client did not have the intention to deceive

although this report indirectly caused tsang chi-wai's conviction

but what did my client gain from it?

Tsang chi-wai, or even Lee yat-fung

whomever is the killer, or is punished bylaw

has nothing to do with my client

and due to this falsification claim

my client's professionalism has been challenged

and he might even face disbarment

I would like to ask

what benefits did my client get from all this?

Barrister lui yau-fai

before we make our ruling

do you have anything else to say?

Gentlemen

my daughter is 10 years old

she was born

on the day that her mother died

that was also the day of the sing fu shopping mall incident

she was born prematurely

I remember how afraid I was, holding her for the first time

I wasn't afraid that she wouldn't grow up

I wasn't afraid of raising her alone either

I was afraid of what kind of world I have brought her in to

I told my daughter

that I'll make sure she grows up in a world that is fair and just

someone once told me

that no one needs justice and fairness anymore

even if you sacrifice yourself fighting for it

no one will care or even remember

nobody needs these things

if this is what our world has become

our children

will have to live in a world

without faith, principles, and justice

can you live with that?

What about being an attorney?

What can attorneys do for this world?

I once asked myself

how I can defend justice

should I be like everyone else

standing alongside the egg

against the high wall?

The stability we enjoy today

is the result of hard work from our previous generation

no fine and no prison time

isn't it our responsibility

to give our children a world

without prejudice against wealth and social status

where everyone is equal before the law?

Daddy

daddy

you've gained weight

I've missed you, daddy

me too

have you been smoking?

- Nope - gross!

Give me a kiss

let's go

count me in, let's rent an office together

what about DOJ?

Take it as my deposit

what's wrong?

Aren't you gonna give me a chance?

Bye-bye

what does this mean?

That's your tuition
