Hello. I'm lawyer Lam Siu Chin,

I'd like to see Judge Hung. please.

A moment. please.

I'm sorry, His Honor regrets he can't spare|the time to see you.

Hey...

I have no idea why the young master would|do something like this,

If I didn't see it with my own eyes,

I wouldn't believe it myself,

Pang Shi, what are you talking about?

We've been friendly like brothers|and I've treated you well.

Why did you frame me?

Why? Tell me!

Tell me!

I'm Lau Shing's lawyer. I'd like you to help.

and appear in court as witnesses for the defense,

Sure!

We were in the same trade,|after all, Sure I'll support him!

We work in the same trade,|but I have to tell the truth.

After drinking with us for a while,|Lau Shing left on his own,

Whether he started the fire or not

I can't for sure.

Can't win,

Why?

It's too hard to win! Much too difficult!

Master. didn't you tell me,

however difficult the case is,|there's still a way to win it?

This case is different.|because it's hard to fight against money!

Money can make the crooked straight,

and turn black into white!

Please work on it,

You're welcome,,, I know what to do next.

You better come up with something quick|to help Lau Shing!

There's one more person!

Who?

Susie!

But she's gone missing and can't be found!

This woman, vanishing all of a sudden|for no reason.

I wonder if there's something fishy going on!

We're dead! We're dead!|Tomorrow's the last day of the trial!

Mr lord'll die for sure!

Defendant's attorney,|how much longer do we have to wait,

for your so-called "very important" witness

to appear?

Who is it?

Lawyer Lam, Big Brother Lau is innocent.

You must save him!

Who are you, anyway?

Big Brother Lau said.

he and I would always be the best partner|of business,

Susie!

Big Brother Lau is truly innocent!

He did not set fire to "Sin Cho Tong"!

Because I was there when the fire started!

That's great!

At last.|somebody could testify to Lau Shing's innocence!

So. tomorrow morning at 9.|you must take the stand and testify for Lau Shing,

Cursed luck! It started pouring down|all of a sudden,

It's good news you're back!

Susie's turned up!

Turned up? Where?

Susie,

Real soon, she'll be here real soon

Your Honor. Please just give me 1 0 more minutes!

(Justice )

I've already given you many tens of minutes,|going against all precedents.

We can't wait any longer.

Please. Your Honor. I beg of you,,,

On the charge of murder by arson,

I find the defendant Lau Shing...

guilty!

It is the judgment of this court|that the trial is now over!

The sentence will hand down in 5 days.

Siu Chin. time for master-stroke!

I've really tried everything I could think of!

Your father taught us. think outside the box!

If nothing works,|approach the problem from another angle!

Then go ask my father for help!

Hey! She is there!

Open the door!

Try it...

Wrong person!

I studied for over a dozen years.

and only now do I realize|I've been studying bullshit!

All I learned is totally useless!

These couple of months.

I've worn out my shoes running around everywhere.

and couldn't even find a single witness|to help our case!

I may just be a lawyer,

and even if my client is sentenced to death.

it should be no skin off my nose.

I can always leave with ease,

but we're talking about a human life!

Will you do me one last favor?

Sure,

I'd like you to give my ashes|to my wife in my village.

I know my wife will be devastated.

She's waited for me all these years,

only to find I'll never return!

And my daughter,

I don't know if she'll even remember me.

I'd rather she didn't,,,

I haven't finished your case yet!|We still have 5 days,

I'll appeal all the way to the highest court!

I'll always support him!

Pang Shi, what are you talking about?

Hello?

Lawyer Lam,

Susie? Without your testimony,|Lau Shing will die!

You've condemned Big Brother Lau to death!|He's been given death sentence!

How can it be so soon? I've yet to make an appeal!

It's too late! Too late! The execution's tomorrow!

Hello? Susie.

Fong Lik. Now listen to me good,

I must save Lau Shing!

Take a puff! It's good for you!

If you want to see your wife and daughter again.

remember this; listen to every single|word the executor tells you!

Offender. bend your head!

Lau Shing. kneel and kowtow in devotion.

Silently recite the location of your home village,

Lung Ping Village,|Kwai Fa Lane. Lau's residence,,,

In 7 times 7 of 49 days:|return home to reunion with your family.

Lung Ping Village, Kwai Fa Lane,|Lau's residence,,,

When I say run, you run.

and don't look back!,

R un!

Lung Ping Village

Lau Shing!

Lau Shing!

Lau Shing!

You dare come to see me?

Why not?

Could you escape if not me?

Needless to say!

You said you were going to appeal.|but didn't even show up in court!

You almost cost me my life!

You think it was on purpose?|I couldn't get to court!

I almost died myself!

You didn't want to help me at all!

I didn't want to help you?

If I hadn't worked out an escape plan,|would you be here now?

Now I've broken the law despite being a lawyer!|I've left my father behind to run with you!

And you dare be so ungrateful?

Why don't you go to hell? Be a headless ghost!

Because of you,|I cracked my head and lay in a coma for days!

If only I'd be in a coma for more days|so I needn't save you!

I'm sorry,

Thank you,

Needless to say, Get changed!

Your hometown's really spooky!

Today's the Ghost Festival!
