Christmas Rose Page #2

Synopsis: Tim (Kwok) is a defence attorney with a heart of gold. Refusing to be simply a hired gun for his clients, he quits his high-powered job to become a prosecutor for the Justice Department. With the support of fiancee Megan and cop buddy Nam (Liu Kai Chi), Tim decides to start afresh. When he meets a handicapped piano teacher, Jing (Gwei), who urges him to help her. She is accusing her doctor, Zhou (Chang) a renowned surgeon of sexual harassment during a routine check-up. But with no witnesses and only their own conflicting testimonies, a Rashomon-like mystery unfolds. To make matters worse, Zhou's defence attorney, Freddy, is Tim's successor at his old law firm, and proves to be Tim's toughest opponent to-date. As a media frenzy encircles the case, it slowly destroys the lives of everyone involved.

First,

there's no direct witness in this case

But since you're Jane Li's employer

and doctor

and your clinic was the alleged crime scene,

the Prosecution

can find lots of evidence of doubt

You're in breach of trust

This sort of cases is usually prejudicial

to men

Mrs Zhou, since your husband is a celebrity,

please be prepared psychologically

Before the court has passed its judgement,

public opinions will have convicted him

This is the social pressure of public opinion

There's one thing that favors you though

In criminal cases,

you are presumed innocent by the law

The burden of proof lies on the prosecution

However, besides the girl in this case,

there was no other eye witness

It's a matter of the court

trusting your testimony

or hers

Tim!

It's a case of indecent assault.

Can you handle it?

Sure, no problem

It's not complicated

By the way,

the defense counsel

is from Hill's Chambers

Who?

Freddy Xue

Do you know

who is the prosecutor for your case?

It's Tim Chen

Freddy Xue

He has a meteoric rise in recent years

He won't take cases that don't make money

He has never lost a single case

His father is some entrepreneur

in the Mainland

So a rich brat like him can be capable too

It's weird you guys never met

Maybe because we wish

to protect different folks

Here's the main point

Besides Winston Zhou's information,

I found out that at the age of 6 of 7,

Jane Li was sent to an orphanage

by her mother

She later had an accident

that crippled her legs

Then she started giving kids piano lessons

And now, yet another atrocity

According to psychologists,

desertion and sexual assault

leave the worst scars

Mr Winston Zhou

at 18:
45

on October 31, 2012,

in Rm 3610 on 36/F

of Chinese Liaison Building,

you were suspected of violating Section 122

of Chapter 200 of the Laws of Hong Kong

by indecently assaulting

a 25-year-old piano teacher Jane Li

How do you plead, guilty or not guilty?

Winston Zhou

How do you plead?

Not guilty

Join Tina's birthday party

at our place next week

William has swimming lessons on Sundays

Oh, I see

Shirley has painting lessons

Never mind. I've written the invites anyway

Thank you

I'll give them to you first

Thank you, so beautiful

Yes, it's so delicate and beautiful

The show starts now

Tina!

OK! That's it for today's rehearsal

Let's do it again next week!

Say goodbye to your teacher

Bye

Mrs Zhou, there are reporters outside

Mrs Zhou,

do you believe Mr Zhou is innocent?

Mrs Zhou, do you believe...

Say a few words!

Little girl, has your dad and Ms Li

done anything irregular?

Hey! You're too much! Get out of our way!

Mrs Zhou...

Mrs Zhou, say a few words
