- Sustained.

On April 1 1th, as I was sitting in a PSB car,

did you not attack me and my attorney ?

No.

Irrelevant.

- I have not finished questioning.

- I have Iost my patience.

Why will you not let this witness

answer my questions ?

He just sits there, Iaughing at me !

Laughing and Iying !

And where's my attorney now ?

Was she causing too much trouble ?

You are in contempt.

Why not just let her go and stay with me,

cos you've already measured my coffin !

I said you are in contempt !

You think I give a sh*t ?!

What will do you ?! Shoot me twice ?!

Let my attorney go and take me !

I haven't any money, but I got some shoes !

Take my shoes to pay for the bullet !

Put a nice drop cloth down here !

Put a bullet right in the back of my head !

Do it right here ! Bang !

Right in the back of my head !

Bam ! Bam ! Bam ! Bam !

Do it right here, right now !

I don't wanna wait !

Your client was found

with my daughter's blood on his hands.

He was framed.

By whom ?

By someone in power.

- Enough !

- No !

Let Advocate Shen Yuelin continue.

She is aware of the consequences to her

if the charge remains unprovable.

What is it about where these

telephone records Iead

that everyone is afraid to face ?

Make all the records available.

We have Iived in silence too Iong

with courtrooms within courtrooms.

Why can we not conduct our affairs

in daylight ?

Why can we not trust the people

to witness them ?

Why can we not allow their voices

to be heard

rather than crushing them

into muteness ?

I am willing to pay the price ifI am wrong.

Are you willing to pay the price

ifI am right ?

We will proceed to final arguments

if Procurator Ma is prepared.

Presiding Chairman...

As Shen Yuelin's aide,

I wish to enter new evidence.

May I have permission ?

For you.

Your Iawyer is very persuasive.

Presiding Chairman,

I wish to call an additional witness.

This has no precedent.

I have already ruled.

Presiding Chairman,

I apologise to the court.

I request the court's permission

to call an additional witness.

I have already ruled.

The foreigner is mocking our court.

Presiding Chairman, I implore you...

I recognise I have tried the court's

patience. It will not happen again.

This witness is in a position to have

unique knowledge of the facts of this case

Not to call him would call into question

the proceedings of this case altogether.

PIease, Presiding Chairman, please...

just one more witness.

Request denied.

The Procurator General has given

permission to call another witness.

I would Iike to call Minister...

Presiding Chairman,

I would Iike to call Lin Dan.

There is no foundation for this witness.

Lin Dan, please take the witness stand.

You made use of

the criminal code I gave you.

No, speak English. I know you can.

Congratulations on your appointment.

Principal Chinese programming partner

in HoffCo Telekomm's joint venture

with China.

Thank you.

- Wonderful opportunity.

- Yes.

Would it be accurate to say that my own

company, McAndrews Communications,

- was HoffCo's principal competitor ?

- I suppose so.

You suppose so. Okay.

Is it also accurate to say that you had

no guarantee of an equivalent... payoff...

"Payoff" has a negative connotation.

Let me rephrase.

McAndrews did not offer you

an equivalent position.

It was not discussed. This has nothing

to do with Hong Ling's murder.

It has everything to do with it.

Was my indictment responsible

for McAndrews Iosing that deal ?

Why does the court permit this ?

You used her.

You used her and sacrificed her

to sabotage the deal your father

was completing with McAndrews

with whom he was friends.

Could've Ieft you out in the cold.

These are not questions.

All right, but this is.

What was your relationship

with Hong Ling ?

I had no relationship with Hong Ling.

None at all ?

Would you Iike to reconsider

that statement ?

I knew her. I knew of her family.

But there was no relationship.

No relationship.

How do you explain this ?

Hong Ling's Iocket.

She wore it the night of the murder.

It just turned up.

Inside

is a picture of General Hong.

Inside of that

there is a charming photograph

of Hong Ling

and

you.

Accused Moore, let me see this evidence.

PIease share that

with the People's Assessors.

They seem a Iittle more interested now.

AIso, Procurator Ma,

you're not smiling so much.

Why is there a photo of you and Hong Ling

inside her Iocket ?

There was no relationship.

I knew her the way many men knew her.

- The way you knew her.

- But you did know her ?

Answer me.

I knew her a Iong time ago.

I had not talked to her since...

I can't remember when.

Advocate Shen Yuelin,

enter the phone records into evidence.

On the night Hong Ling was killed,

three calls were made from this number

- and two received.

- Objection !

The first call was from Hong Ling

early that night.

Then, around 2am, a call was made

to a number registered to Huan Minglu.

You are out of order.

At 3.1 0am, a second call was made

to a number registered to Hong Ling.

- What do these telephone numbers...

- Sshh !

At 5.41 am,

a call was received from Huan Minglu.

At 5.46am, a two-minute call was made

from this number to police headquarters.

- This is chaos !

- I will have you removed from the court.

- Lin Dan, do you own a cellphone ?

- Yes or no ?!

I do.

Can you tell us the number of that phone ?

Mr Moore, I am not a secretary,

and I rarely call myself...

Is the number of your cellphone 51 7-857 ?

No, it is not.

You're sure ?

Even though you rarely call yourseIf ?

Yes, I am quite sure.

Who do you think has that number ?

51 7-857.

Is the telephone number yours,

Minister Lin Shou ?

It is my number.

Don't, Father.

Don't what ?

I am not afraid.

Why are you afraid ?

You used your father's phone because

a minister's records can be withheld.

Hong Ling was supposed to set me up,

wasn't she ?

Whatever it was, she changed her mind.

Then someone got in there

and drugged me with chloroform.

Isn't that what happened ?

Was it...

Was it Huan Minglu ?

Such speculation is out of order.

She resisted.

And she ended up dead.

He killed her, didn't he ?

She got killed and I got set up !

I wasn't there. Ask him.

Da guar.

What did he just say ?

Da guar ? That's what Hong Ling said

that night. She said it over and over.

Da guar...

..wo men de...

He is saying da guar.

Hong Ling said

"Da guar wo men de guanxi wan Ia".

It means "Big shot" - an important

businessman - "Big shot, our deal is off".

Or maybe

"Our relationship is over."

Lin Dan, are you known to your friends

as Da Guar ?

Are you known to your friends

as Da Guar Lin Dan ?

The court is dismissed.

Presiding Chairman...

I Iost sound !

I request that my client

be released immediately !

Da Guar...

- He said it again !

- Don't let them take you out of here !

- What's he saying ?!

- Huan Minglu's the killer !

Take Huan Minglu into custody.
