and physically impaired
She was unfamiliar with the normal
procedure of a body checkup
and mistook the defendant's goodwill...
for indecent assault
In fact,
the defendant is a professional doctor
He was only doing his job
However, this case
has ruined the defendant's reputation,
having brought tremendous blow to his family
I believe Your Honor is crystal clear
that throughout the course of this trial,
neither police findings
nor witnesses' testimonies
can attest to the fact
that the defendant
did in fact indecently assault Ms Li
The defendant
must have the benefit of the doubt
I request Your Honor
to find the defendant not guilty
Will the defendant please rise?
Upon consideration of the evidence submitted
and the closing arguments of both sides
the Court is convinced
the defendant's hand
did touch the plaintiff's sensitive area
The question boils down to who was active
and who was passive
The Court agrees that
the evidence provided by the Prosecution
proves the defendant
indecently assaulted Ms Li
He being her employer and doctor
still conducted such a vile act
was clearly a breach of her trust
The Court finds
the defendant guilty as charged
He shall be remanded in prison immediately
pending a psychiatric assessment
before sentencing
Court!
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you,
Tina, happy birthday! Make a wish
I wish daddy will come back soon
He will be back soon
The report on Jane Li's name change
I read it today
You read it after the trial?
Have I made a mistake?
I don't know
The goal of the law
is to protect people, right?
Right
To protect people
Not only to determine who is right
and who is wrong
Also to protect people from being hurt
You mean if Jane Li had lost,
she would have been deeply hurt
Dr Zhou might also be seriously hurt
Have you thought about it?
Did you make all these origami roses?
Yes
Is that your handwriting?
Did you write on the roses
you gave Zhou?
What did you write?
Don't touch!
"Dr Zhou,
I've been missing your smiles"
Look at me...
You look at me!
As a matter of fact,
you're in love with Winston Zhou, right?
Frankly speaking,
did Winston Zhou molest you?
You must believe me
You have to believe me
Hello?
Speaking
Dad...
We didn't expect he would depart so suddenly
But it was a peaceful departure
These are his relicts
I really hated your guts
Since I was little,
you'd told me...
a good lawyer...
should uphold justice
I've believed you
and have taken you as my role model
But did you accomplish that?
You didn't!
Because of you,
I've been trying all along...
to find the answer for justice,
to prove to you that
the woman who died because of you
in that case you had taken...
was your fault!
But at this moment,
I hate myself even more
I can give other people
a chance to explain,
but...
I never gave you even a single chance
Did you have any predicaments?
Because now I realize
I'm just how you had been.
Dad,
can you tell me?
How's Tina?
Not bad
I'm looking for a new school for her
You think she will know?
From the get-go till now,
she's never asked a single question
Are you really appealing?
Will you support me?
I will
We will support you
But...
can the case really be overturned?
I'm really innocent
Tina and I are innocent too
You support me
because of this family
or you really believe me?
"Jaywalking Girl
Knocked down by Mini Bus"
Upon consideration
of the new evidence submitted,
the Court agrees
to reopen the case
for the interest of justice
What happened?
Your car broke down?
Let me have a look
You haven't tuned your car for a while?
You car is dead
Better call a tow truck
Hey
Are you in a hurry? I can give you a lift
I'm good
By the way,
do you believe Winston Zhou?
What? You think that matters?
You don't have a conscience?
Why are you so nave?
You were once a defense counsel too
You had to believe it every time
you sought justice for your clients?
I just want to know the truth
Do you really know the rules of the game, huh?
Who do you think you are?
You think you can save the world
by assuming moral high ground?
Let me tell you
You won last time not because you were good
You were simply aided by social bias
You know what?
Your biggest error
is not your moral high ground
but the fact that you're in the wrong field
You want the truth?
During the course of the trial, you were seen
maintaining regular private
contacts with Jane Li
On the night before the closing arguments,
you even visited her in the piano shop
A prosecutor cannot contact
the victim privately
I don't know how intimate
you are with Jane Li
But it was around midnigh,
I don't think you went to the piano shop
to take piano lessons!
Take care
Court!
Your Honor,
over the past year, Ms Li
has been giving origami roses
to the accused, Dr Zhou.
She even wrote messages
on the folded paper
Please examine Exhibit D16.
It is clearly written on the paper
"You smiled at me 5 times today"
Now Exhibit D17
She wrote on another folder paper
"Have you used the same water cup
I used at your place?"
Ms Li, please confirm
whether it's your handwriting or not
Yes
So were you in love with Dr Zhou?
No
So who did
you take Dr Zhou for?
A student's father
Would you write such sweet
nothings to a student's father?
Would you sent flowers with innuendos
to a student's father?
Whether you admit it or not,
these roses betrayed
your affection for Dr Zhou
But that doesn't mean
the affection was reciprocal
In fact, on the day of the body checkup,
Dr Zhou rejected your manifestation of love
You were so embarrassed that
you turned around and accused the defendant!
Objection!
Am I correct?
Objection! The question is leading
Objection overruled
No
No further questions
Ms Li
to like someone
doesn't mean he can molest you, right?
What is the chance of our appeal?
Depends on how much you could sacrifice
What do you mean?
The truth about you and Jane Li
Dr Zhou,
How did you deal with
Ms Li's affection for you?
Why didn't you tell your wife?
I didn't take it seriously
I couldn't stop her
from liking me
I didn't tell my wife
as I did not think
it would affect our relationship
Mr Zhou,
does a woman without sexual experience
need to have lower body checkup
so soon?
Many young women have similar checkup
There's nothing wrong
Your Honor,
there are many kinds of gynecological checkup
Mr Zhou invited Ms Li
to his clinic for body checkup...
Objection!
There's no specific timing regarding
when a woman should take a body checkup
The Prosecution's question
is argumentative
Objection sustained
Please proceed
Your Honor,
the Defense calls Qian Liu as its 4th witness
The one subpoenaed, right?
Yes
I, Qian Liu, honestly
swear and affirm
that the evidence I give shall be the truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth
