But still you need to tell the lawyer
Why did you kill the police?
Did he attack you?
Were you self-defense?
Calm down, tell me
Did he try to blackmail you?
Lau Wai Ian
it's a serious crime to kill
No solicitors would defend for you
No solicitors would defend for you
And you have no money
Be co-operative.
He is a good lawyer
He helps you because of the past
He likes your turnip
You really like the turnip?
Let's stop talking about that, okay?
Just tell me
What was your motive?
Do you know we are trying to help you?
I don't understand... Why you don't behave?
You have been prostitute till now
a drug addict and a murderer
And look at your attitude!
Do you think it's right?
I can't help you if you want to ruin yourself
I shouldn't help you the last time
I shouldn't help you the last time

Her intestine is weak as well
Her kidney is not functioning

Pang, be prepared to hear this secret
Pang, be prepared to hear this secret
I know I'll end up dead by breaking my words
I understand
I have to tell you
no matter what
God forgive me
Lau Wai Ian is Uncle anonymous
Here is your medical record
when she sent you in
She used to buy you gifts when you were young
Your educations fund was out of
her working as a club hostess
She got beaten up for your fund
She killed the cop because of you
The cop knew your relationship
And threatened to reveal it
Now you know who she is
She's your mother!
She would do anything for you!
She would do anything for you!
"Sweet dreams"
" baby "
"I'll wipe your tears"
"We'll face"
"the chilly cold wind"
"I'll hold you and kiss you"
"And so"
"you are born to earth"
"To see that you're tired"
"You have to face"
"the world of trouble”
"Tell me, not to feel lonely"
"To love you is my happiness"
"A drunk heart is the end?”
"Don't say to pay me back"
"Only say Mama, I love you"
"To love you is my happiness"

Mr. Lau, please leave the room
She needs a check up
"Only say Mama, I love you"
Don't worry
I'll get you acquitted
I'll come again tonight
Don't do this case
I had read the statement
no hope
Not that we can't make money,
we'll lose our reputation
It's not a matter of winning or losing
She deserves mercy
She deserves it? She's a prostitute,
drug addict, rubbish!
I was told last night
by the assistant of the police
there is every proof for this case
She'll get capital punishment
Or else it affects the morale
I don't mean that I am afraid of the cops
But it is very bureaucratic

Fat was a horrible jerk
He deserved that one shot
He never paid what he had to
And he always beat me up...
bruise everywhere
He was a real maniac
I won't be a prosecution witness
Never
I am sorry I swear
It's alright
You are so young to be a barrister
I'll surely help you
I'll surely help you
If you'll be a witness for Nancy
I'll definitely help you
I'll definitely help you
Are you pals?
You can trust them
I smuggled something into Taiwan
and lost a lot of money
Well
I was the only one to be there
And if you can lend me some money
I'll say whatever you want
I am sorry, we are not like this
We only want you to tell the truth
We only want you to tell the truth
Well, let's wait and see
We can negotiate
I know someone who can lend you $50,000
But you have to sign the receipt
And if you'll be the witness in court
you don't have to pay the loan?
Chi Pang
-Let's talk outside.
-Okay
Do you know what you are doing?
It's very serious to bribe the witness
You may end up in jail
You may end up in jail
-Eve
-Eve is right
it's bad for you
Only if someone knows
You two won't betray me
I know you for long
you were not like this
-Why just this time...
-Okay
Listen to me
We have been handicapped so far in this case
We have been handicapped so far in this case
You know it better than I do
If we don't take this step
do we have a chance to win the case?
You want me to give a false statement
I am scared. I can never lie
I can't
Don't worry
I'll rewrite the statement again
I'll rewrite the statement again
I'll break it down into sections
you can recite
I have bad memories
I have bad memories after taking the drug
I am afraid I'll drag you in
No problem
You have lost weight for me
You are so tired
How is your eye?
A boiled egg can help
It's okay
We must win the case
We must win the case
Mom, come on
You'll be fine
if we can win the case
we can live together
I know you are a good kid
I know who I am
A prostitute! A drug addict!
I am satisfied you really treat me as your mom
I am satisfied you really treat me as your mom
No
If I lose
I have no more prospect
Help me
Read it slowly
OK? Come on
I have no choice
Listen to me
Here is some smokes, keep it safe
Don't let uncle anonymous find it
Thanks
Raymond, dad is waiting for you
-Uncle
-Come
Raymond, I asked them to come
And hope that because of me
we compromise on Nancy's case
we compromise on Nancy's case
-Will you?
-Raymond
I have known C.K. for twenty years
C.K. was my master
I have to pay him back
And I had a meeting with my boss
The I.C.A.C. is after us
The I.C.A.C. is after us
I know you have a witness
against Wong Fat
At this critical moment
I compromise for the sake
of the police reputation
What is the condition?
We change the charge to manslaughter
And the accused plagues guilty
we finish the case
C.K. and I can have 3 weeks holiday?
C.K. and I can have 3 weeks holiday?
Good
What about the sentence?
What about the sentence?
-15 years
-No
I won't accept 15 years
Raymond, be sensible
15 years is reasonable
The police wanted death sentence
15 years is reasonable
I had the hints
of life sentence
For where I stand
I have to do something
You know my client has only
4 to 5 years to live
There's no difference from death sentence
God darn it!
Are you a doctor as well?
Are you a doctor as well?
Raymond, make sure where you have to stop
You will surely lose
You can't say who will lose
C.K., what's wrong here?
It's not our problem now
It's your
will be son-in-law's problem
Raymond, come
-You really upset me
-Uncle...
I spent a lot of time making this settlement
It's all because of you
I can't accept 15 years
Come, Eve told me
you asked for false statement
That's against the law
I won't let it happen
I am sorry, I have decided
Well, you know what you are doing
You leave my office
starting from tomorrow
I don't want you to ruin my reputation
Wait
And I won't let Eve marry you!
Stay away from her
How is it?
I don't understand why you betrayed me
I am sorry, Eve
I don't know what I am doing
I did it
all because of you
It's the first time I got smacked
It's because of such a woman
I won't see you again
Eve
He said, you should go out to die in the street
And he kicked me down
Hit me furiously
Right, but something is missing
Really?
Think it over
No
Think
He kicked me
and bruised my foot
-No...
-No
Let me tell you once more
Listen carefully
He kicked off your pistol
He kicked off your pistol
And the gun misfired and hit his arm
That's right
Come on, once more
The gun hit the ground
and the shot hit his arm
I mix them up, my son
Don't know what I'll say in court
It is dangerous, forget it
Just let them do what they like
Come on
Remember what I told you before?
I told you
if I lost this case
my prospect would be gone
You don't want to see it happen, right?
Let's try other stuff
This one is the same as your scissors
take it
I act as the prosecutor to interrogate you
okay?
Nancy, why did you have the scissors with you?
To cut my vein
By using the scissors?
Turn it around
Won't turn
Won't turn
This wooden one won't turn
This wooden one won't turn
Can't turn around!
Can't turn!
We try later
have a smoke and rest
Come
Did Lau Chi Pang suspect you?
Stick to the plan
Make up your mind
Or I will give your dad a hard time
You'll have a hard time too, understand?
What did the cop say?
Just ignore him
he won't really try
He is too young
Don't go to the court
Are you Ping?
I am Nancy's friend, Fatty
We hope that tomorrow in court
you'll help Nancy
No mercy
on the cops
Court
Sir
How long do you know about Wong Fat?
He never paid for his supper!
I said...how long do you know him?..
He would never pay for anything
He would never pay for anything
Every body knows it in his area
Quiet...
Listen carefully and answer
the prosecutor's question
Stop answering the wrong question
I am sorry, sir
Wong Fat was really a jerk
He would not pay for a newspaper
Quiet
You lied. Wong did not owe you money
I have the receipt
It is here
Your Honor, objection
The receipt is illegal
It can't be used as a proof
Sir, it's not fair
The cops need to pay their debts
You have the welfare fund in your department
You should pay me back
through the welfare fund
Right?
I lent him real money
I have my own family
I have to feed them
You are in contempt of the court
Guard, get him out
Sir, Wong Fat really owed me money
Please uphold the justice
Members of the jury, the cops are bad
Don't believe them
Your Honor
I accuse him a tinted witness
He has records of crime
and we can't accept his statement
I will disapprove his evidence
No proof from him
Does the judge know
what he's doing?
I object, your Honor
It does not comply
with the 1964 Common Law
Overrule, Mr. Lau, sit down
Your Honor
I will appeal to the Chief Justice
Shut up!
Or I accuse you
of contempt of court
Sit down
Next witness
May God bless us
What were you doing at the public house?
I asked Fat to give me chance
I told him
we didn't have that much money
And told him not to push us
Why did you have something sharp with you?
You intended to kill him
No
Why did you have the pair of scissors?
I wanted cut my vein if I failed
How could you use
the scissors to cut your vein?
Give me the pair of scissors
The scissors is good for cutting the thing
The scissors is good for cutting the thing
Can cut it like this
Can cut it like this
Nancy
And like this
What are you doing?
Calm down
Why didn't you cut yourself then?
Why didn't you cut yourself then?
I was going to
but Fat said...
He asked you not to kill him
No...
He asked me to die somewhere else
He threw at me with a pillow
I dropped the scissors
I saw the pistol and picked it up
And you pointed at him?
The pistol...pointed...
Pointed at Wong Fat, right?
Pointed...
Pointed at my head
Then he jumped at me and kicked me down
The pistol misfired and hit his arm
After the shot. Ping came in, right?
Yes, I heard her yelling
I saw her standing at the doorway
She was frightened?
Yes
She was scared for you had the pistol?
Yes
Why was she scared?
For I had the pistol
Was the pistol fired?
Seems like it
You have to answer me
It was fired. Right?
It was fired
Yes
Are you sure?
Yes
Fat kicked the gun down and it misfired
Fat kicked the gun down and it misfired
And hit his arm?
What happened to the pistol?
The pistol was on the ground
Ping came after the shot
Where was the gun?
On the ground
You said it was in your hand
now on the ground
Where was it exactly...
Can't remember
You are contradicting
Was on the ground
and then in your hand
Sometimes you don't remember
You are lying
I am not lying
Someone told you how to give false statement
Right?
No. no one
It's all true
I didn't lie
What was the gun pointing at
when Ping came in?
Whom?
At Wong Fat
For you wanted to kill him
right?
Someone told you to give false statement?
I'm not lying
It's illegal
Who taught you so?
No one
no one taught me so
Just say I killed him
Arrest me...I had enough...
Your Honor
My client needs some rest
My client needs some rest
She's not suitable to keep on
Can we have another witness?
-Are you a Christian?
-No
Then follow this
I, Yam Ping Ping do solemnly swear
What I say is the whole truth
and nothing but the truth
Defending council to interrogate
Why did you
return to the scene?
I left the ear-rings
Tell the jury
What did you see
behind the door?
Fat was sleeping in bed
And the woman pointing at him with the gun
How can she say so?
I ask you once again
Was she pointing at Fat
or her head?
Think carefully!
At Fat
and I screamed
Fat sat up
and the woman fired
Darn!
What is she doing?
How could you say such things
Do you know the consequence?
Do you know the consequence?
You witch!
You witch!
You have to be careful
Do you know it's a catastrophe?
Your Honor, I have finished
Miss Yam
Your statements are different
You said the woman was going to kill herself
How come?
A false statement
The defending council taught me
He lent me $50,000
And said I could keep it
if I obey
You witch
You are lying...
Don't listen to her, your Honor
She's lying
Order...
You stupid witch! Mind your words!
Quiet
Defending council obstructs
the course of justice
He conspired to give false statement
He conspired to give false statement
I ask for a detail investigation
and see if he needs to be prosecuted
And will give the statement
to the solicitor chamber
See if Mr. C.P. Lau has to be disqualified
We have the verdict in the afternoon
Court
Court
I am sorry, I have to listen to the cop
I need to make money
Kid, you are very foolish
What a pity!
You need more experience
Don't worry, Lau
Just Ping's statement against you
You may not lose the case
I deserve it
I should accept the settlement
It's better than now
Sorry to disturb you
Before the jury comes to the verdict
Is the settlement still there?
You change the charge
and she plagues guilty
You are humorous
No kidding
I won't settle now
I beg you
just help me this time
Raymond Lau, you are finished
Take care of yourself first
Think what you can do after the jail
If not murder for her
it will be manslaughter
I'll send her to jail
for 30 years
15 more years
it's because of you
Because you are too stubborn
Your Honor, the jury
After Ping's statement
I think you won't believe me anymore
My statement is of no use now
But then... I wanna say something...
Something deep down in my heart
The accused has a real bad life
She was a club girl
And got physically hurt real bad
And had been a prostitute for 20 years
Forth 20 years, she had enough
Her doctor told me
she's really sick
And had only 4 to 5 years to live
Even though she has a bad life
She's still a human being
She had not hurt anybody
Right, she killed Wong Fat
But think...
Why she wanted to kill the cop so badly?
Why she wanted to kill the cop so badly?
Why?
The prosecution said it's for revenge
For Wong wanted to arrest her
That's a lie
She wanted to protect her son
In 1942
because of the situation
she sent her son to an orphanage
But she kept her duty as a mother
And saved every cents she could
for her son's education
But...
She dares not to meet her own son
For her son has his own status
She doesn't want to ruin his future
And Wong Fat found this secret
He blackmailed her
And she had no choice but to kill him
She did it for her own son
Can her son just because for his sake
leave his mother all alone?
He can't, he surely can't
I know it's true
Because...
I am her own son!
The jury, what I say is...
If I can help her
and we reunite
and let here to enjoy the rest of her life
I would trade it
with my own life
Whether a barrister or not
That's not important
Mom
The head of jury
Do you all agree with the decision?
Yes
Is the accused guilty of charge?
No
Then guilty of manslaughter?
Yes
Accused stand up
Wait, your Honor
Before the verdict
I wanna say something for the jury
Go on
We have pity on the accused
We ask for a light sentence for her
And we think you are unfair to her
You stand on the side of the prosecution
And if the sentence is heavy
that means something wrong
with your personality
And you can't be a judge
And now I have the verdict
Guilty of manslaughter.
3 years imprisonment
But for the sake of her health
I suspend her sentence for 5 years
Lau Wai Ian, you can leave now
Mom, you are released. Don't cry!
You can leave, really
We can be together
Let's go
-What about you?
-Your case”?
Don't worry
He'll be okay
- I promise!
-Thank you
Nancy, congratulations
I'm sorry, I didn't know the truth

Any cigarettes?
How did it happen?
Tell me the whole thing, okay?
I am a murderer
I need no help
But still you need to tell the lawyer
Why did you kill the police?
Did he attack you?
Were you self-defense?
Calm down, tell me
Did he try to blackmail you?
Lau Wai Ian
it's a serious crime to kill
No solicitors would defend for you
No solicitors would defend for you
And you have no money
Be co-operative.
He is a good lawyer
He helps you because of the past
He likes your turnip
You really like the turnip?
Let's stop talking about that, okay?
Just tell me
What was your motive?
Do you know we are trying to help you?
I don't understand... Why you don't behave?
You have been prostitute till now
a drug addict and a murderer
And look at your attitude!
Do you think it's right?
I can't help you if you want to ruin yourself
I shouldn't help you the last time
I shouldn't help you the last time
The cop wouldn't die and I'll feel better
The cop wouldn't die and I'll feel better
Mr. Lau
a Sister Maria had rung many times
a Sister Maria had rung many times
-Ring her up for me.
-Okay
Put it through for me
That Lau Wai Ian committed suicide in jail
How is she?
She's in hospital, dying
What's the matter?
Sister Maria is not there
Do you wanna find out where she is?
Good
Tell me why you had to kill the cop?
Tell me why you had to kill the cop?
I swear that
I won't tell Chi Pang
That patient has been
a prostitute for long time
Her ovary is infected
And she's a drug addict, too
Her intestine is weak as well
Her kidney is not functioning
Her kidney is not functioning
And she's intoxicated
But if she has money for medical care
she can live a few years more
Pang
-Let's talk out there.
-Okay
Pang, be prepared to hear this secret
Pang, be prepared to hear this secret
I know I'll end up dead by breaking my words
I understand
I have to tell you
no matter what
God forgive me
Lau Wai Ian is Uncle anonymous
Here is your medical record
when she sent you in
She used to buy you gifts when you were young
Your educations fund was out of
her working as a club hostess
She got beaten up for your fund
She killed the cop because of you
The cop knew your relationship
And threatened to reveal it
Now you know who she is
She's your mother!
She would do anything for you!
She would do anything for you!
"Sweet dreams"
" baby "
"I'll wipe your tears"
"We'll face"
"the chilly cold wind"
"I'll hold you and kiss you"
"And so"
"you are born to earth"
"To see that you're tired"
"You have to face"
"the world of trouble”
"Tell me, not to feel lonely"
"To love you is my happiness"
"A drunk heart is the end?”
"Don't say to pay me back"
"Only say Mama, I love you"
"To love you is my happiness"
"A drunk heart is the end?”
"Don't say to pay me back"
"Only say Mama, I love you"
Mom
Mom
I am Pang
Mom...
Maria had told me everything
Everything
"To love you is my happiness"
"A drunk heart is the end?”
"Don't say to pay me back"
"Only say Mama, I love you"
"To love you is my happiness"
"A drunk heart is the end?”
Mr. Lau, please leave the room
She needs a check up
"Only say Mama, I love you"
Don't worry
I'll get you acquitted
I'll come again tonight
Don't do this case
I had read the statement
no hope
Not that we can't make money,
we'll lose our reputation
It's not a matter of winning or losing
She deserves mercy
She deserves it? She's a prostitute,
drug addict, rubbish!
I was told last night
by the assistant of the police
there is every proof for this case
She'll get capital punishment
Or else it affects the morale
I don't mean that I am afraid of the cops
But it is very bureaucratic
But it is very bureaucratic
Okay...
My client is being threatened and blackmailed
and was forced to do so
There're many ambiguous points
to clear in this case
Trust me
I am confident to win
Don't have to say anymore
Think a few more days
If you really want to work on this case
I'll be very disappointed
The judge is Y.Y. in this case
The judge is Y.Y. in this case
He's very narrow minded
He's very narrow minded
Mr. Lau, we meet again
I am sorry for the last time
I am sorry for the last time
I hope that you don't mind, uncle
Uncle? We have no relationship
I am a just man
I am sorry I am late

You want me to reveal my identity?

The accused should be hanged
Right, death sentence
It's the only punishment for this case
Inspector Chan, can you tell us
your opinion on Fat's performance
I was his superior
He had joined the force for 23 years
He was a good cop
He never said tired
There is nothing to comment
There is nothing to comment
Thank you
Your Honor, no more question
And now defendant's lawyer
Inspector Chan
may I ask you a simple question?
Can a married policeman
have affairs with prostitutes?
This is very personal
Okay. What is the requirement
for promotion in the force?
Objection.
It's out of the question
Your Honor
it's important about Fat's personality

Witness doesn't have to answer

On April 17, 1965
Fat was suspected in a bribery case
and had been investigated

The law is to prove the guilty is guilty

This question is misleading

I have no more questions
The question is out of the file

The jury should forget about this question

I was Fat's partner
On April 17 this year
we had information
that there was heroine at 2/F, Fung Yip Street
So we went to investigate
Who did you see in this operation?
I saw the accused and other prostitutes
What had happened?
Fat and the accused had an argument
What argument?
Fat said the accused was prostituting
The accused was swearing at Fat badly
And said he was going to die
And then?
Fat wanted to arrest her
for bad behavior and prostitution
And what about the accused?
She said she would have Fat die together

Frame me up
Your Honor, I have finished
Mr. Lee, in that operation was anyone arrested?

Was Fat your son's God father?
Objection
It is personal nothing to do with this case
Sustain

asking this kind of question
I will stop your interrogation
I can tell you, Mr. Lee
You found drugs that day
And the drugs were used for blackmailing
And the drugs were used for blackmailing
You didn't arrest anyone for you were bribed
You didn't arrest anyone for you were bribed
-No...
-Yes
You said the accused had threatened Fat
The fact is you wanna help Fat to revenge
And your statement is a false one, right?
No, wrong!
Your Honor, no more questions
What were you doing when it happened
I was doing some washing
What did you first hear?
A...Pang... sound
And then the noise of a fight
And someone screaming
And some thing hit the ground
And two more gun shots
The gun shot first or the fight first?
Gun shot
Your Honor, no more questions
You heard about the fight
You heard about the fight
things hit the ground, screaming
and 3 gun shots?

screaming recorded 2 rooms away
The noises of fight and gun shots
The noises of fight and gun shots
The noises of fight and gun shots
Which one is the gun shot?

Ask if you can hear it once more
when it happened?
Your Honor, I have finished
Your Honor
I have my last witness
Yam Ping Ping
She has not come back
I'm sorry, your Honor
My witness is still not here from Taiwan yet
I felt that Ping would not appear
I adjourn the case for one week
And if the witness from
the prosecution is not here
Then we have the witness from the defense
Court
The judge stands on the side of prosecution
The judge stands on the side of prosecution
Even if we can get her away from murder charge
she can't get away from the manslaughter charge
And the judge can send her life sentence
We have to find two more important witnesses
We have to find two more important witnesses
The first one is Madly
and the other is Ping Ping
And turn her to be our witness
Do you have a plan?
We have to try our luck
How?
Wait till we find Ping Ping
We are eager to help Nancy

We try hard to get information, Mr. Lau
Ping's friend said
Ping had sneaked back here
She hated Fat
She won't be their witness
She didn't make money this time to Taiwan
and has a big loan
She won't appear
Try to locate her quickly
Try to locate her quickly
We have four days left
Pal, about Fat's death
the cops said if it's not because of you
Fat would not be so eager to get money
The cops keep their eyes on everything
That jerk
He would die sooner or later
He would die sooner or later
I can't get his loan back
and the cops are so troublesome
I'll revenge sooner or later
I'll revenge sooner or later
Boss, he comes again
Kid, did you hear what I said?
I am in a bad mood

If you can beat me,
I'll be your witness
Come...
You've got guts
Chi Pang, stop fighting
Stop
We said one to one
We said one to one
I am a lawyer too
If I report this to the police
If I report this to the police
You will end up in jail one by one
So many to one, aren't you ashamed?
How's it, Madly?
Kid, you'll surely lose
Wanna fight again?
-Chi Pang, stop fighting
-I said no more!
Pal, you are great
I'll be your witness

You jerks
Don't try to make trouble here

Listen to me
I don't want to see you again
Pal, listen to me
The woman needs Ping Ping to be her witness

I think she will think it over
and she'll be the witness
Please...
It's no use talking to the door
Tell Ping Ping, please
this is my name card
Please
The life is here
Ping Ping is here
She's here?
Sit
Do you mind if I smoke?
No
Fat was a horrible jerk
Fat was a horrible jerk
He deserved that one shot
He never paid what he had to
And he always beat me up...
bruise everywhere
He was a real maniac
I won't be a prosecution witness
Never
I am sorry I swear
It's alright
You are so young to be a barrister
I'll surely help you
I'll surely help you
If you'll be a witness for Nancy
I'll definitely help you
I'll definitely help you
Are you pals?
You can trust them
I smuggled something into Taiwan
and lost a lot of money
Well
I was the only one to be there
And if you can lend me some money
I'll say whatever you want
I am sorry, we are not like this
We only want you to tell the truth
We only want you to tell the truth
Well, let's wait and see
We can negotiate
I know someone who can lend you $50,000
But you have to sign the receipt
And if you'll be the witness in court
you don't have to pay the loan?
Chi Pang
-Let's talk outside.
-Okay
Do you know what you are doing?
It's very serious to bribe the witness
You may end up in jail
You may end up in jail
-Eve
-Eve is right
it's bad for you
Only if someone knows
You two won't betray me
I know you for long
you were not like this
-Why just this time...
-Okay
Listen to me
We have been handicapped so far in this case
We have been handicapped so far in this case
You know it better than I do
If we don't take this step
do we have a chance to win the case?
You want me to give a false statement
I am scared. I can never lie
I can't
Don't worry
I'll rewrite the statement again
I'll rewrite the statement again
I'll break it down into sections
you can recite
I have bad memories
I have bad memories after taking the drug
I am afraid I'll drag you in
No problem
You have lost weight for me
You are so tired
How is your eye?
A boiled egg can help
It's okay
We must win the case
We must win the case
Mom, come on
You'll be fine
if we can win the case
we can live together
I know you are a good kid
I know who I am
A prostitute! A drug addict!
I am satisfied you really treat me as your mom
I am satisfied you really treat me as your mom
No
If I lose
I have no more prospect
Help me
Read it slowly
OK? Come on
I have no choice
Listen to me
Here is some smokes, keep it safe
Don't let uncle anonymous find it
Thanks
Raymond, dad is waiting for you
-Uncle
-Come
Raymond, I asked them to come
And hope that because of me
we compromise on Nancy's case
we compromise on Nancy's case
-Will you?
-Raymond
I have known C.K. for twenty years
C.K. was my master
I have to pay him back
And I had a meeting with my boss
The I.C.A.C. is after us
The I.C.A.C. is after us
I know you have a witness
against Wong Fat
At this critical moment
I compromise for the sake
of the police reputation
What is the condition?
We change the charge to manslaughter
And the accused plagues guilty
we finish the case
C.K. and I can have 3 weeks holiday?
C.K. and I can have 3 weeks holiday?
Good
What about the sentence?
What about the sentence?
-15 years
-No
I won't accept 15 years
Raymond, be sensible
15 years is reasonable
The police wanted death sentence
15 years is reasonable
I had the hints
of life sentence
For where I stand
I have to do something
You know my client has only
4 to 5 years to live
There's no difference from death sentence
God darn it!
Are you a doctor as well?
Are you a doctor as well?
Raymond, make sure where you have to stop
You will surely lose
You can't say who will lose
C.K., what's wrong here?
It's not our problem now
It's your
will be son-in-law's problem
Raymond, come
-You really upset me
-Uncle...
I spent a lot of time making this settlement
It's all because of you
I can't accept 15 years
Come, Eve told me
you asked for false statement
That's against the law
I won't let it happen
I am sorry, I have decided
Well, you know what you are doing
You leave my office
starting from tomorrow
I don't want you to ruin my reputation
Wait
And I won't let Eve marry you!
Stay away from her
How is it?
I don't understand why you betrayed me
I am sorry, Eve
I don't know what I am doing
I did it
all because of you
It's the first time I got smacked
It's because of such a woman
I won't see you again
Eve
He said, you should go out to die in the street
And he kicked me down
Hit me furiously
Right, but something is missing
Really?
Think it over
No
Think
He kicked me
and bruised my foot
-No...
-No
Let me tell you once more
Listen carefully
He kicked off your pistol
He kicked off your pistol
And the gun misfired and hit his arm
That's right
Come on, once more
The gun hit the ground
and the shot hit his arm
I mix them up, my son
Don't know what I'll say in court
It is dangerous, forget it
Just let them do what they like
Come on
Remember what I told you before?
I told you
if I lost this case
my prospect would be gone
You don't want to see it happen, right?
Let's try other stuff
This one is the same as your scissors
take it
I act as the prosecutor to interrogate you
okay?
Nancy, why did you have the scissors with you?
To cut my vein
By using the scissors?
Turn it around
Won't turn
Won't turn
This wooden one won't turn
This wooden one won't turn
Can't turn around!
Can't turn!
We try later
have a smoke and rest
Come
Did Lau Chi Pang suspect you?
Stick to the plan
Make up your mind
Or I will give your dad a hard time
You'll have a hard time too, understand?
What did the cop say?
Just ignore him
he won't really try
He is too young
Don't go to the court
Are you Ping?
I am Nancy's friend, Fatty
We hope that tomorrow in court
you'll help Nancy
No mercy
on the cops
Court
Sir
How long do you know about Wong Fat?
He never paid for his supper!
I said...how long do you know him?..
He would never pay for anything
He would never pay for anything
Every body knows it in his area
Quiet...
Listen carefully and answer
the prosecutor's question
Stop answering the wrong question
I am sorry, sir
Wong Fat was really a jerk
He would not pay for a newspaper
Quiet
You lied. Wong did not owe you money
I have the receipt
It is here
Your Honor, objection
The receipt is illegal
It can't be used as a proof
Sir, it's not fair
The cops need to pay their debts
You have the welfare fund in your department
You should pay me back
through the welfare fund
Right?
I lent him real money
I have my own family
I have to feed them
You are in contempt of the court
Guard, get him out
Sir, Wong Fat really owed me money
Please uphold the justice
Members of the jury, the cops are bad
Don't believe them
Your Honor
I accuse him a tinted witness
He has records of crime
and we can't accept his statement
I will disapprove his evidence
No proof from him
Does the judge know
what he's doing?
I object, your Honor
It does not comply
with the 1964 Common Law
Overrule, Mr. Lau, sit down
Your Honor
I will appeal to the Chief Justice
Shut up!
Or I accuse you
of contempt of court
Sit down
Next witness
May God bless us
What were you doing at the public house?
I asked Fat to give me chance
I told him
we didn't have that much money
And told him not to push us
Why did you have something sharp with you?
You intended to kill him
No
Why did you have the pair of scissors?
I wanted cut my vein if I failed
How could you use
the scissors to cut your vein?
Give me the pair of scissors
The scissors is good for cutting the thing
The scissors is good for cutting the thing
Can cut it like this
Can cut it like this
Nancy
And like this
What are you doing?
Calm down
Why didn't you cut yourself then?
Why didn't you cut yourself then?
I was going to
but Fat said...
He asked you not to kill him
No...
He asked me to die somewhere else
He threw at me with a pillow
I dropped the scissors
I saw the pistol and picked it up
And you pointed at him?
The pistol...pointed...
Pointed at Wong Fat, right?
Pointed...
Pointed at my head
Then he jumped at me and kicked me down
The pistol misfired and hit his arm
After the shot. Ping came in, right?
Yes, I heard her yelling
I saw her standing at the doorway
She was frightened?
Yes
She was scared for you had the pistol?
Yes
Why was she scared?
For I had the pistol
Was the pistol fired?
Seems like it
You have to answer me
It was fired. Right?
It was fired
Yes
Are you sure?
Yes
Fat kicked the gun down and it misfired
Fat kicked the gun down and it misfired
And hit his arm?
What happened to the pistol?
The pistol was on the ground
Ping came after the shot
Where was the gun?
On the ground
You said it was in your hand
now on the ground
Where was it exactly...
Can't remember
You are contradicting
Was on the ground
and then in your hand
Sometimes you don't remember
You are lying
I am not lying
Someone told you how to give false statement
Right?
No. no one
It's all true
I didn't lie
What was the gun pointing at
when Ping came in?
Whom?
At Wong Fat
For you wanted to kill him
right?
Someone told you to give false statement?
I'm not lying
It's illegal
Who taught you so?
No one
no one taught me so
Just say I killed him
Arrest me...I had enough...
Your Honor
My client needs some rest
My client needs some rest
She's not suitable to keep on
Can we have another witness?
-Are you a Christian?
-No
Then follow this
I, Yam Ping Ping do solemnly swear
What I say is the whole truth
and nothing but the truth
Defending council to interrogate
Why did you
return to the scene?
I left the ear-rings
Tell the jury
What did you see
behind the door?
Fat was sleeping in bed
And the woman pointing at him with the gun
How can she say so?
I ask you once again
Was she pointing at Fat
or her head?
Think carefully!
At Fat
and I screamed
Fat sat up
and the woman fired
Darn!
What is she doing?
How could you say such things
Do you know the consequence?
Do you know the consequence?
You witch!
You witch!
You have to be careful
Do you know it's a catastrophe?
Your Honor, I have finished
Miss Yam
Your statements are different
You said the woman was going to kill herself
How come?
A false statement
The defending council taught me
He lent me $50,000
And said I could keep it
if I obey
You witch
You are lying...
Don't listen to her, your Honor
She's lying
Order...
You stupid witch! Mind your words!
Quiet
Defending council obstructs
the course of justice
He conspired to give false statement
He conspired to give false statement
I ask for a detail investigation
and see if he needs to be prosecuted
And will give the statement
to the solicitor chamber
See if Mr. C.P. Lau has to be disqualified
We have the verdict in the afternoon
Court
Court
I am sorry, I have to listen to the cop
I need to make money
Kid, you are very foolish
What a pity!
You need more experience
Don't worry, Lau
Just Ping's statement against you
You may not lose the case
I deserve it
I should accept the settlement
It's better than now
Sorry to disturb you
Before the jury comes to the verdict
Is the settlement still there?
You change the charge
and she plagues guilty
You are humorous
No kidding
I won't settle now
I beg you
just help me this time
Raymond Lau, you are finished
Take care of yourself first
Think what you can do after the jail
If not murder for her
it will be manslaughter
I'll send her to jail
for 30 years
15 more years
it's because of you
Because you are too stubborn
Your Honor, the jury
After Ping's statement
I think you won't believe me anymore
My statement is of no use now
But then... I wanna say something...
Something deep down in my heart
The accused has a real bad life
She was a club girl
And got physically hurt real bad
And had been a prostitute for 20 years
Forth 20 years, she had enough
Her doctor told me
she's really sick
And had only 4 to 5 years to live
Even though she has a bad life
She's still a human being
She had not hurt anybody
Right, she killed Wong Fat
But think...
Why she wanted to kill the cop so badly?
Why she wanted to kill the cop so badly?
Why?
The prosecution said it's for revenge
For Wong wanted to arrest her
That's a lie
She wanted to protect her son
In 1942
because of the situation
she sent her son to an orphanage
But she kept her duty as a mother
And saved every cents she could
for her son's education
But...
She dares not to meet her own son
For her son has his own status
She doesn't want to ruin his future
And Wong Fat found this secret
He blackmailed her
And she had no choice but to kill him
She did it for her own son
Can her son just because for his sake
leave his mother all alone?
He can't, he surely can't
I know it's true
Because...
I am her own son!
The jury, what I say is...
If I can help her
and we reunite
and let here to enjoy the rest of her life
I would trade it
with my own life
Whether a barrister or not
That's not important
Mom
The head of jury
Do you all agree with the decision?
Yes
Is the accused guilty of charge?
No
Then guilty of manslaughter?
Yes
Accused stand up
Wait, your Honor
Before the verdict
I wanna say something for the jury
Go on
We have pity on the accused
We ask for a light sentence for her
And we think you are unfair to her
You stand on the side of the prosecution
And if the sentence is heavy
that means something wrong
with your personality
And you can't be a judge
And now I have the verdict
Guilty of manslaughter.
3 years imprisonment
But for the sake of her health
I suspend her sentence for 5 years
Lau Wai Ian, you can leave now
Mom, you are released. Don't cry!
You can leave, really
We can be together
Let's go
-What about you?
-Your case”?
Don't worry
He'll be okay
- I promise!
-Thank you
Nancy, congratulations
I'm sorry, I didn't know the truth
