Crime and Punishment Page #2

Get your coats and leave.

Were you playing?

Were you playing or not?

No reason to lie.

If you were in the game,

just say so, right?

You in the game?

It was just a few guys

talking sh*t.

We had a few drinks...

How much did you bet?

How much were you betting?

We're confiscating these tiles.

Come on, grab his hands.

Careful.

No, you come with me.

Aren't you going to fill out

the arrest paperwork?

Can't, I'm busy!

Stand against the wall.

I don't have it.

I d-don't have it.

Quiet, don't talk back.

Just shut up.

I don't have it.

Shut up. What are you, deaf?

We could call the numbers.

Son:
696-0371

219-9486.

What's this phone number?

Huh?

What?

- Is this your home number?

- Mama.

- And this is your son's number?

- Son.

Sit.

We have to take off your shoes.

I don't have it.

How many accomplices

did you have?

How many accomplices?

Stand up.

How many others?

J-just me.

Just you?

What?

J-just me.

F***...

- When were you born?

- I'm 43.

- No, what year were you born?

- My home?

Year of the horse

or year of the dragon?

- Write. Don't...

- Huh?

D-don't understand.

You don't understand?

What'd you steal?

Huh?

I asked what you stole.

I bought clots.

- What?

- I bought clots.

Clothes? You were

at the market buying clothes?

Not picking people's pockets?

- You didn't steal anything?

- No.

No?

- You didn't steal a cell phone?

- Huh?

- You didn't steal a cell phone?

- No.

No? You say no?

We'll bring in the victim

and see if she recognizes you.

What's your name?

- What's your name?

- Huh?

What's your name?

- Wang what?

- Wang Huiqiang.

Wang Huiqiang?

Write your name right here.

Write your name right here.

Write your name right here.

- And your address.

- Huh?

Your address. Where do you live?

- Where I live?

- Yeah, write it down.

What's the street number?

Do you have a phone number?

What?

Apartment 3.

Put the cuffs back on.

I'll loosen them a bit.

Good, good.

That's better? Go stand over there.

Who else was with you?

J-just me.

Say that again.

F*** you! How many?

Let go!

- Y-you hit me.

- So what? F*** you.

How many others?

How many were there?

How many others?

The other two got away.

Are you gonna talk?

Are you gonna talk or not?

F*** this...

I'm taking off these cuffs.

You're coming with me.

Still won't f***ing talk, huh?

We'll see about that.

Come with me.

Tell him to take it easy, okay?

Don't be too rough.

Without a confession,

we can't bring him to trial.

The guy's a hardened thief.

Tell us if you recognize anyone.

We know you had accomplices.

Tell us who they are.

See anyone you know?

Any accomplices?

I'm asking you a question.

See anyone you recognize?

Squat right there.

Keep your back straight.

Back straight.

Don't lean on the wall!

No leaning!

Stay like that. Don't move.

What's your problem?

Can you squat?

You're supposed to squat.

Looks like we've got a problem.

The captains didn't say what to do?

They're upstairs sleeping.

- They're not asleep.

- They're not?

The door's closed,

but I heard them walking around.

Should we call headquarters?

This will be easier

if you cooperate.

You'd better start talking!

Tell us the truth

and we'll go easy on you.

We're in no mood to play games.

You going to talk?

Well?

Yesterday, I saw that cute girl

who works at headquarters.

Thieves dress pretty well

these days.

Look at this suit.

Take off your jacket.

You understand me?

Let's see

if he understands violence.

Still won't talk, eh?

You understand me now?

- Don't film this...

- You call yourself a thief?

You understand me now?

We arrested him

and brought him back to the station,

but he's a deaf-mute.

He can't understand

what we're saying,

and none of us know sign language.

Can't you get a teacher

from the deaf school

to take his statement?

Take his statement?

But what if he won't confess?

Wasn't there a witness?

Yes.

There's a witness

who can describe him.

But no one saw him

steal the phone.

The witness only saw him

trying to ditch it.

Due to a lack of evidence

and an inability

to communicate with the detainee,

the police were forced

to release their suspect.

Watch your hat, it's windy.

Don't give me that!

You know you can't collect scrap

without a permit.

My permit's on file!

Go check at the police station.

We're from the police station!

We've never seen your file.

You don't even know me.

You'd better come with us.

I tell you, it's on file.

I'm not taking your word for it.

Let's go to the station

and see if there's a file!

- I'm on file, I swear!

- Come on, let's go.

I've been doing this for years.

How can I not be on file?

- Clean this up.

- Why, just this spring...

Don't change the subject.

You're coming with us.

Clean this up,

and we'll go get you registered.

- You mean right now?

- Yes.

All right... just give me a second

to finish what I'm doing here.

Be quick about it.

- I'm sure there's a file somewhere.

- Who registered you?

Call the commerce office,

they'd know.

Who registered you, and where?

Where'd you register?

- Huh?

- Where'd you register?

The commerce office...

You're not registered

with the police?

- Of course I am!

- Then who registered you?

I don't remember now.

So you don't remember when,

where or how you registered?

No, it was in that office...

- Who registered you?

- Check my file.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

There is no file!

If there's no file here, can't you

just ask the commerce office?

- Are you sure you're registered?

- How could I not be?

Well, who registered you?

I don't remember now.

- I don't think so.

- Huh?

If you don't remember,

you probably never registered at all.

Just look in my file...

There is no file! How many

times do I have to tell you?

And if there's no file,

it means you're not registered.

Not registered? That's impossible!

Who registered you?

- I asked who registered you.

- Let me explain.

Where is this mystery person?

Wait, just let me explain.

The border police

wouldn't let us come into town,

so a group of us

drove our carts over

to the commerce office in our area.

They're the ones who arranged it

with the police station here.

The next day,

we sent someone into town

to register for us.

I didn't go myself.

But we sent someone.

You didn't register in person?

No, we sent someone.

No one's allowed

to register for you!

But the people at commerce

worked it out with the police!

The police and the commerce office

are totally separate!

They do their job

and we do ours, understand?

If you say I have to re-register,

I will.

- If you say...

- Do you understand me?

- I'm just...

- Do you understand me?

If you don't understand,

I can repeat myself.

No need. If I have to re-register,

I'll do it right now.

Then why didn't you say so

in the first place?

Instead of making up some story

about registering

and having a file!

I told you, we sent someone...
