Court!
As a defense counsel,
I used to help people clear their charges
As a prosecutor,
I can convict real criminals
Winston Zhou
Mr Winston Zhou,
at 18:
45on October 31, 2012,
in Rm 3610 on 36/F
of Chinese Liaison Building,
you were suspected of violating Section 122
of Chapter 200 of the Laws of Hong Kong
by indecently assaulting
a 25-year-old piano teacher Jane Li
How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?
Not guilty
The Reagan Chan
case is as you have expected
He played victim
while duping small shareholders
Many employees lost their jobs as a result
I just investigated for you
They deliberately misled
those small customers
into purchasing structured
investment products,
causing great loss to everybody eventually
I'm not going to take the Reagan Chan case
And I won't settle out of court
with Fortune Bank
How come you never accept certain cases?
I won't accept cases I don't believe in
Did you forget
I'm the master of your chambers?
Aren't you supposed to be liable to me?
I'm only liable to my clients
I can't think of
any chambers you can fit in
If our destinations differ,
we go separate ways
You should understand that
Patient Liu Cheng-on
Please go to Chinese Medication Room
to collect your medicine
Dad, what is it about?
Every time I called you,
you never replied
You could leave a message
I gave you a tie at your graduation
If there's nothing else, I better get going
But you only just came
Stay a bit longer
If I don't need to be hospitalized regularly,
would you still come visit me?
Ray Hung, the property developer
suspected of sexual assault,
is in court today
Details of the case
will not be made public till after the trial
Why don't you discuss it with Ms Chan?
If this trial continues,
Ms Chan's personal life
will be exposed
If the charge is changed to molestation,
my client will plead guilty immediately
decisions for our clients anyway
Property developer Ray Hung
2 weeks after his release
The victim is the plaintiff
in the molestation case
You told me to reduce his sentence
Now he's not scared
Is there a deal between you lawyers?
Aren't you obligated to protect me?
what questions
the defense counsel will ask you
You're well aware of my situation
You know how it would ruin me
"Rape Plantiff Commits Suicide"
Don't bring me any fruits next time
I can't eat sweet things because of my illness
All right
"Father"
Is your dad alright?
Well...
Where are you going?
To Beijing
Have you forgotten?
Haven't we agreed already?
I'm taking my students
to Beijing this weekend
We're going back to see my parents
Have I said that?
Tell me, have you forgotten?
Since I've forgotten anyway, just stay
This song, Christmas Rose, is very difficult
Ms Zhao needs to learn it within a short time?
My boyfriend loves the song
I want to give him a surprise at the wedding
Congratulations!
Thank you
Ms Li will teach you from now on
Good
Just call me Jane
I'll be much obliged
Thank you
Nurse Lin, sorry for being late today.
Never mind
Jane
Doctor Zhou
During my last period,
my tummy hurts
Don't worry. I'll give you a checkup later
The nurse will help you change
Looks like you
prefer this dress to the other one
Let's order this one then
But I've decided to lose weight
Still?
You're already very skinny
I just quit Hill's Chambers
But don't worry
Tim, I know your greatest dream
is to open your own chambers
We have savings anyway
Use the cash. We can delay the wedding
If it's not enough, I can borrow from my dad
Opening my chambers or not doesn't matter
I don't want you to worry about my work
Nothing will affect our wedding
I want you to be my happy wife
Jane!
What happened to you?
Any prescriptions, Nurse Lin?
It's only a checkup today
Thank you
Jane?
OK:
I have to go
Didn't you want to see Tina
at Dr Zhou's place?
I don't want to go
I'm not feeling well.
Let's go back to the shop
Dr Zhou
Ms Law
Didn't we say we would leave together?
It seems that Jane is not feeling well
She wants to go back and rest
Oh, I see
Never mind. I'll give you a lift
Thank you
You are welcome
I've decided to join you
and work for the government
Being a court prosecutor just like me?
I went to the Legal Department
to be a prosecutor
As a defense counsel,
I used to help people clear their charges
As a prosecutor, I can convict real criminals
It suits me better
Hey...
You still have to take the test this year?
Of course
I'm only one step away from being a lawyer
Good luck! Cheers!
Let me...
Sorry, Dr Zhou
Let me help you
Come
Stay away!
I'll help you
What's with you?
Stay away!
Jane, what happened?
What's going on here?
Nothing, we're fine here
Miss, are you all right?
Should we call an ambulance?
Miss
Hello? Speaking...
What's the matter?
I'm Freddy Xue. Just call me Freddy
Winston Zhou
Let's cut to the chase
They will take your statement in a moment
But I want you to remain silent
Let's wait till you're released on bail
We'll have a meeting outside
and we'll give it further thought
We'll then give the police
a full statement, OK?
I'm innocent
I understand
How pretty
Looks better on camera than in real life
First,
there's no direct witness in this case
But since you're Jane Li's employer
and doctor
and your clinic was the alleged crime scene,
the Prosecution
can find lots of evidence of doubt
You're in breach of trust
This sort of cases is usually prejudicial
to men
Mrs Zhou, since your husband is a celebrity,
please be prepared psychologically
Before the court has passed its judgement,
public opinions will have convicted him
This is the social pressure of public opinion
There's one thing that favors you though
In criminal cases,
you are presumed innocent by the law
The burden of proof lies on the prosecution
However, besides the girl in this case,
there was no other eye witness
It's a matter of the court
trusting your testimony
or hers
Tim!
It's a case of indecent assault.
Can you handle it?
Sure, no problem
It's not complicated
By the way,
the defense counsel
is from Hill's Chambers
Who?
Freddy Xue
Do you know
who is the prosecutor for your case?
It's Tim Chen
Freddy Xue
He has a meteoric rise in recent years
He won't take cases that don't make money
He has never lost a single case
His father is some entrepreneur
in the Mainland
So a rich brat like him can be capable too
Maybe because we wish
Here's the main point
Besides Winston Zhou's information,
I found out that at the age of 6 of 7,
Jane Li was sent to an orphanage
by her mother
She later had an accident
that crippled her legs
Then she started giving kids piano lessons
And now, yet another atrocity
According to psychologists,
