I guarantee that thejudge won't

give you a heavy sentence

If you're willing to tell the truth,

I'll intercede with thejudge

for a lighter sentence

Madame, I didn't lie

What if you do?

If I do...

I swear; I swear to God for thunder strike

You still don't want to tell the truth?

No, Madame...

What I told is the truth

If not... I deserve thunder strike,

to die in a terribly way

To die in a terribly way?

Then you remember what I just said

Take a look at these pictures

Your own daughter. Don't you have any feelings?

Don't you have any feelings?

You stinky! Wanna get your mama into trouble?

Wake up

Dreaming?

Who let you sleep?

Ivy

Keep on looking

No...

Not necessary to use force under interrogation

Tell us!

I turn off the machine if you

are willing to tell the truth

Come on, say something

So... Becky Lee, you wanna confess?

Answer to Madame

If not, she really beats you to death

Speak up!

That Babara's psychological

tactic is extraordinary

She didn't let us soften or show a tag of sympathy

Do you sympathize her?

I grasped her hands

Don't know why

I feel

Somehow unhappy

A sense of sadness

Hello everyone, am I sexy?

Comfortable?

Comfortable

Are you comfortable?

You slut, have sex with the old man at 14!

Who is the better lover? Me or the old man?

How's that?

How is it?

Are you comfortable?

Answer me!

Are you here?

Confess, confess that you're telling lies

You slut, not a human at all!

As a mother, gave birth to your daughter

How could you let her suffer like this?

Don't you have human nature?

Why don't you speak? Why don't you speak!

I don't want to...

Don't want to!

What's wrong with you!

You lust for money.

You can be a hooker if you want money

How could you so bad to harm your daughter?

I don't care how you use your body

Not my business whatever you do with men

But you can't harm your daughter!

She is only eleven!

No more interrogation! Resume tomorrow!

Stop! No

Joey, it's mama

Joey, it's mama Waking you up?

Come on, it's alright...

Do I forget to take pills?

What's up?

Who's it?

You don't answer call?

Commissioner?

Yes, I'm Who're you?

I'm Inspector Lam of DCS at HK West

Inspector Lam, what's the matter?

Becky Lee commits suicide at the detaining center

She bled heavily, just starts on an operation

Shouldn't have any risk in life

Understand

I'll wait until she has passed the critical stage

Madame, you don't need to come over

Okay

Inspector Lam, if there's anything,

you call me again

Yes, Madame

Thank you

No thanks, I ought to do

Bye Bye

Something happens at the police station?

A suspect commits suicide

Go away! Go away!

Are you crazy? Don't be like that!

No! Don't come over! Go away!

Joey...

Don't come over I'll kill myself

Joey, don't... be silly

Papa is only playing with you

Go away!

Open the door! Open the door!

Help!

Josephine Nope I don't

I can explain it

Trust me, nothing happens

Mama, are you okay?

Okay

You looked blankly?

It is busy in the station

Where're you going?

I want to drink some water

Let me accompany you

I just want to pour a cup of water

Joey, let's chat

Joey, is it good if mama

takes an early retirement?

You are only 47, that soon?

So I can spend more time with you

I'll be graduated this year

If I can get into the Department of Justice...

I won't have time to accompany you

You're right

You should catch more thieves;

let me help you to prosecute them

Mama...

Because Papa was a prosecutor,

that's why you don't want me to

work in the Department of Justice?

No

Your papa is no longer a prosecutor

He is a prisoner now

Don't worry I won't follow his steps

I must be an upright, diligent prosecutor

I know...

My Joey is good and capable

Good morning, Madame Wong.

Good morning, Madame Good morning

Where's Becky Lee? How is she?

The suspect is fine

She had an operation last night,

with blood transfusion

She woke up early this morning

Madame

Good morning, Madame

The suspect made use the sharp

corner of the bed to cut her artery

There is a bite mark on her wound too

At 0018 last midnight

The on duty policewoman, her number is.

Okay All of you, get out!

Yes, Madame

Including you Yes, Madame

Becky Lee, you wanna die and case closed?

It won't be that easy

You're pretending deaf and mute?

Bite off your tongue if you wanna be a mute

To earn sympathy through commit suicide?

Idiot!

Only the most useless and

cowardly people will commit suicide

Being a mother like you is really hopeless

You should protect your daughter

but you beat her, harm her

I won't have any pity for your type of rubbish!

Hey! I'm talking to you!

Response! Answer me!

You're right...

I'm rubbish. I deserve to die

I named her Heiyi

The word means dawn,

The word is very difficult.

I'd like my daughter to begin as bright and warm

as the dawn comes up

However, through these years.

She only kept on suffering with me

Heiyi never had a good day in her life

In fact, I always knew that Jo molested her

How could I don't know...

That silly girl thought

wearing nine panties...

and hanging a bell were able to protect herself

Why didn't you save her?

Women... is born to give their bodies to men

For their fathers at home or guys outside...

are the same

What's wrong with you?

Where did you get this false concept?

My father hated me since I was young

He always beat me

And he peeped me showering and changing clothes

He came inside my room when I slept at night

Fondling me as well as masturbating himself

I was scared.

What I only knew was to pretend sleeping

I just wanted him to finish and leave quickly

I met my first husband when I was 14

In fact, I didn't know if he was my husband or not

He was more than 10 years older than me

He duped me that he loved me

and would take care of me

I was stupid to trust him

Thought I could leave home this way

He said he wanted my virginity so I gave him

He said he didn't like condoms

so we didn't use them

Never thought of this man...

Not only did he has a wife

but his wife was a PR manager at a nightclub.

That woman brought a bunch

of club girls to beat me up

That guy not even helped out but left

I was kicked out of my father's house at that time

In order to live, I lived with another man

Heiyi was his daughter

He sold illegal drugs

After Heiyi was borne for a while,

he struck up relationship with a woman in China

And he never returned

Afterwards, my daughter and I lived with.

Many different men

But we never had a long lasting one

They disliked the stretch marks on my tummy

which I get from giving birth to Heiyi

Because I've daughter.

Who was willing to take care of two?

All my life,

I've only been to the city a few times.

In fact, I knew all along.

Jo was molesting Heiyi. But I...

Dared not say a word

I pretended I didn't know anything
