Triple Tap Page #3

like targets,

and fired so many shots into each of them?

Your honour,

Hong Kong has 2286 people with gun licenses.

The prosecutor's assuming all have tendency

towards violence.

I can answer that.

It's a reflex action,

combat shooting often uses multiple shots.

The purpose is to guarantee a hit.

So you shoot a man, thinking you're in a

competition?

No.

I know I'm not in the army.

But the training are quite similar.

Multiple shots undermine the

oppositions' abilities to shoot back.

Special Force are trained that way.

Could you tell me...

when shooting a target or shooting at a man,

are the feelings the same?

Your Honour...

Mr. Chan,

I don't see the point of your question.

I'll ask another question, Your Honor.

Do you realize that a gun can kill?

Yes, so could a golf club.

Ever fantasized about killing someone?

Yes

Ever fantasized, about shooting

a bullet into a human body?

Yes

Can you describe this fantasy of yours?

I think most people from young age,

came across images of killings before.

From movies, news,

I've imagined what it'll be like to

shoot a bullet into a person.

But after experiencing combative shooting,

after handling the gun, and realized its

power, and the danger,

these thoughts, never appeared again.

A person's interests, can reflect

his character and personality,

do you agree?

I know you studied psychology,

I'm sure you can answer that.

Yes, I agree.

Then do you realize...

when a person shoots a human-shaped

target for a long duration...

it increases his tendency to kill

subconsciously?

I know.

That's why in order to reduce the public's

misunderstanding,

and to gain access into the Olympics,

the association no longer use...

the human-shaped target.

Mr. Chan, could you please be more

direct with your questions?

Yes, Your Honour.

Are you familiar with the Firearms and

Ammunition Ordinance?

Absolutely

Do you know, unless it's at the gun

club or on competition ground,

you have absolutely no right to use

any firearms?

I do, but at that moment...

A simple answer will do!

Your Honour, the defendant has the

right to elaborate.

You may continue.

While I was in custody,

I couldn't sleep.

I kept asking myself...

if I did the right thing.

I kept thinking,

why I didn't turn the car around and leave.

I knew I'd be in trouble if I shoot,

so why I still chose to do it.

Finally,

I stopped blaming myself.

Because I know if I didn't shoot,

the traffic cop would be dead.

My intention was to save a life,

I have absolutely no regrets.

If it happens again,

I believe,

I'll do the same thing.

Your Honour, clearly,

the prosecutor tried to establish the

defendant as a long time shooter,

a crazed killer who shoots a person

just for the sake of it.

I don't think he needed to go

to the trouble...

of using such severe terminology

to defame my client.

Because without a doubt he broke the

firearm code of law.

However, may I remind everyone,

Human established the Legislation with

great intents and purposes.

It is to protect the lives of people's

and their properties.

The legislation are not just words,

if we overlook the law is for the people,

then the Legislation would lose its

fundamental significance.

Let us think about this.

If we see a traffic officer...

about to be killed by gangsters.

Do we want to save him?

I believe majority of us do.

But, do we have the courage to do so?

I could honestly say, most of us don't.

He did commit a murder.

But no one can deny the fact,

that with extraordinary courage,

he did what anyone with the sense of

decency would do.

Unfortunately,

his defeat is not to the lack of morality,

but defeated by the Firearm Legislation.

I would like you to know,

similar case in many other countries

are legal

There wouldn't even be grounds

for prosecution.

If he had used his fists that day,

or used a stick to save that traffic officer,

he would not be in this predicament today.

If it is because of legislation, that

prevent us from saving a dying officer,

wouldn't that be ridiculous?

Your Honour, a case like this

has no precedence.

The outcome of this case would set

a template for future justice.

I hereby, urge you members of the jury,

to find my client 'not guilty'.

This case has caused a lot of controversy.

We have with us Professor Lau to help us

analyze this case.

Professor Lau, the jury have been

deliberating for 6 hours.

What is your view on this?

It would be very hard for the jury,

not be influenced by all the media coverage.

I'm sure this is a tug of war between

logic and emotion.

I believe that the judge will be

reminding them,

that they have to abide by the law.

Stand up

Jury do you have a unanimous verdict?

We unanimously agreed that,

the defendant on the charges of illegal

use of firearm and 3 counts of murder,

not guilty.

This court finds the defendant not

guilty and shall be released.

The court thank the jurors for their

time on this case.

Take care!

Congratulations Mr. Kwan.

See you at the game.

Mr. Kwan hurry, there's a lot of reporters.

Can you talk us please?

Can you tell us how you feel now?

What's your opinion on the verdict Prof. Lau?

This verdict is totally not acceptable,

the judge did not give the jury an

appropriate guideline.

I believe that the Government will

confer with the prosecutor,

and launch an appeal.

What's this?

Playing hooky.

Hey, I'm on holiday.

Holiday? Why aren't you partying?

If I want to party, I wouldn't

get transferred here.

Any fish here?

Plenty!

Loads! Garoupas!

Even squid at night.

Hey!

You look beat!

Can't sleep.

Really tough case?

No more leads.

So now you come to me?!

Common, give me break.

Came for a visit and get some fresh air,

that's all.

New edition!

Psychology? Haven't read this stuff for ages.

Heard you broke my record.

Same points,

beat you by 0.6 sec on swift.

But lost 0.31 at the end.

That means I lost a whole second?

Well, never mind.

Held that record for so many years.

It's about time.

He's lucky.

He shot a triple tap at the end.

You think you're playing golf?

'Hole in one' is lucky!

A triple tap,

got nothing to do the hands.

It's about instinct.

Like in the movies,

'man' and 'weapon' becomes one?

Skills, require unending practices.

After you achieve absolute confidence,

instinct will make you take the move...

with no hesitance.

Wow, that's zen!

You'll understand when you get to that level.

Are you for real?

Did you make that up?

You really want to beat him?

As if you know?

Don't be that desperate.

What for?

If there is a duel,

half a sec or so means nothing.

Both get the shot at the end anyways.

He's clean for sure?

Who?

The guy who beat us!

No way!

No suspicion and got no motives.

And he's loaded!

Billionaires' loaded too.

Don't see them retiring?

It really can't be!

So?

What's the criminal mindset?

I was just taking in some fresh air.

Sir, just sliced it up.
