With Prisoners Page #3

Synopsis: After a bar brawl with an off-duty cop, aspiring thug Fan (Neo Yau, Fire Lee's gonzo Robbery) is sentenced to three months in juvenile detention like Hong Kong's Sha Tsui Detention Center, which practices military-style rehabilitation. Insults and abuse are core tenets of the treatment, carried out by the bored, jaded staff, where an occasional true believer lingers among the guards.

- No

- Then go run some more

Kids are supposed to run around

That's what kids do

I don't want to worry for the rest of my life

My kid is in the UK

I worry everyday

What are you guys talking about?

You have been married for a while

Still no plans for a little one?

No, not yet

Don't wait too late,

you still need to raise them you know

Few more years,

you won't have the knees to play with them

Ho has knees to spare,

the way he takes shifts for us

He loves his work so much,

he practically lives in there

Youth is what you guys don't have

Samantha, Ho is the best guard we have

It's my job, to teach the kids,

it's our responsibility

Don't you start,

enough with your second chance in life crap

They all deserve a second chance

You can beat them until they surrender

But they will never learn why

We don't beat them into surrender

We break them down so that they can be remolded

They did the crime, they are to blame

They need to know there are consequences

lam all for punishment

if it teaches them to change

To tell right from wrong, to try to start over

Ho is not jaded like you old farts

Guide them on the right path,

the rest is up to them

They don't deserve a second chance

The parents gave up on them,

teachers won't help them

Cops can't control them

We are their last resort

Our way or no way

I used to work with kids like them

They all turned out great

They all have jobs, families now

As you say,

Samantha was your best case, you married her!

And you have a lot of time to teach her

How about the other cases,

how many can you really save?

What did you say?

No work talk after work hours, agreed?

- Chui, we need some more coal

- I'm telling the truth

If you hate it so much, then just quit

Get in the car please

Just quit, go back to Toronto

With me and Mother

You know how busy I am

Then I will go back on my own

Let me think about it, please

Let's go home

You alright?

- Yeah

- 374

Yes sir

Speak

I am DC358374 Choi

Good morning sir

- Follow me

- Yes sir

- Where's he going?

- To the psychiatrist

Doctor Lee

How do you know?

Yes sir

Report

Good morning sir, reporting

I'm DC363121 Fan, thank you sir

Follow me

See for yourself

My Nana is sick

I read about it in your file, how have you been?

You can tell me

Do you have family? Who do you live with?

My Nana

My parents left when I was young

Divorce?

Car crash

How is your relationship with your Nana?

She raised me, she raised me all by herself

I want to go see her

You know that is impossible

I will let your rehabilitation officer know,

but chances are very slim

It's best you keep doing well in here

Let the rehabilitation officer

Know you have changed

Maybe they will consider early release

I was doing my job, the cop hit me first

You are not supposed to fight with the police

Stop, you do what you like, I give up on you

Thank you sir and classmate

Thank you sir and classmate

Reporting sir

call

Sir, can you help me?

Finish your duties

Yes sir

Sharpie

I want to apologize for before

My Nana is sick

I want to get early release, how do I do that?

Water under the bridge

If you want out, you need to get their

Attention every chance you get

Do well in front of the guards on your duties day

Make them happy

I get it

Get some sleep

You must be Mr. Tsui

Call me Ho, mind if I sit?

Sure

Ho, how is Fan doing?

He is worried about his Nana

Has he been good inside?

Yes, he is doing very well

When can he come out?

3 months is minimum

3 months

Don't worry, if he keeps it up,

he will be out soon

lam afraid his Nana doesn't have 3 months

I want you to give this talisman to Fan

for good luck

Sure, I will get this to him

Fan

- Yes sir

- Come here

Yes sir

If you want to see your Nana

Be the best version of yourself in here

Leave as soon as possible

Thank you sir

Work hard

- Yes sir

- Go on

On a breezy afternoon

A thought passed through my mind

If I could ever fly like a bird in the sky

I wonder where they are flying to

As the earth spins

Why would we ever let go

Maybe after a few years

My memories will fade

Some run close, others run far

Someone is waiting around the corner

Some are laughing, others cry

Everything changes

Some will gather, others will part

While I am still reminiscing

Looking up at the sky

I want to fly like a bird

Letting go of everything on this earth

Why am I still stuck

- See, I told you

- What?

Just like I said

I never asked you what you did to get here

Nothing big like beating up a cop...

just chickenshit

I stole something with my girl

- Stole what?

- Stole a lipstick

Give me that

You wanker

- How much does lipstick cost?

- It's not the money

You a**hole. This is my girl

Let's meet when we're free in future

ls something wrong?

I came back with a job to do

Stay away from me

Can't let them know we are close

Why did you come back?

My friend killed himself in here

He left a suicide note

That's all I can say,

I don't want you guys involved

Go to sleep

How was it?

I don't know, but I ordered it

Your wife is gonna love it, my girlfriend did

She doesn't know I am taking a leave

I want to give her a surprise

You're a good husband

Report

- Call

- Permission to use the washroom sir

Hurry back

Thank you sir

Take off all your clothes

Do you want me to do it for you?

Sorry sir

You know I care about you, don't you Sing?

I know you are hurting, still recovering

I brought you some medicine

Hold out your hand

- Thank you sir

- Rub it on yourself

Sir! Sing is having a seizure

I don't hear him complaining, why are you?

Sorry sir

Sir, Sing is in a bad way

He's fading

- Hands down, get back to sleep

- Sorry sir

Do you want an incidence report?

Sorry sir

Sir, what's up?

Spirit possession by the looks of it

Nah

He's in a bad way

- Take him out

- Yes sir

Can't you find another day to die

Have to do it on my shift

Someone handed me this letter

It was sent out with other mails from the centre

Someone was kind enough to bring this back to me

Do you know what the letter says?

Any guesses? Remember Fat?

Any idea?

The letter tells a story about his life in here

How he went through hell and

decided to kill himself

The letter names 3 guards from this centre

I want to know why this letter appeared today

I don't know who's behind this and I don't care

All I want is for sh*t like this to

never happen again

Yes sir

Ho, get back to work

Honey, I am home...

I got take-out, what about you?

I saw a kitten at a pet store today...

we should raise one

I won't bring it back to the pound this time,

I will keep it

Let's talk when you get back.

Lieutenant Ma

No need to salute

In a few years, I will be saluting you

Don't joke about that

Forget about the barbeque, they are a**holes

I am fine,

I do understand where they are coming from

Do your time and put in a request

for your transfer

Don't waste your years in here with them
