Christmas Rose Page #3

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.

Ms Li is here!

Make way please!

First Trial

Hi, Tim! I've heard so much about you

I'm Freddy

Nice to meet you

Nice to meet you

I've heard so much about you

I feel as if we've known each other for ages

Yes

Is that so?

I know your dad

was a famous prosecutor too

I've studied many of his cases

He was my idol at school

I'm so glad I can go

to trial against his son today

Pleased to meet you

Court!

Your Honor,

the Prosecution calls

as witness Sergeant John Li

Sergeant Li,

can you describe the event to us?

According to Ms Jane Li's statement,

at 18:
20

on October 31, 2012,

she went to the defendant's clinic for checkup

When the defendant conducted the checkup,

he illegally touched her breasts

and lower body

On the floor and on the bed

in the crime scene,

we collected

both parties' DNA and finger prints

Both parties' statements

and the injury reports

indicate prima facie evidence

can be established

We therefore decided

to prosecute the defendant

Sergeant Li

during the entire alleged indecent assault,

were there any eye witnesses?

In most cases of indecent assault,

there are no...

Please just answer "yes" or "no"

No

In other words,

the police based their judgement entirely

on Ms Li's statement

and some circumstantial evidence.

Is that correct?

You can say so

In fact, the evidence you have mentioned,

only suggests that they had physical contacts

It doesn't imply

Dr Zhou has assaulted Ms Li

Can I say that?

You can

Let me ask another question

Why is the police so certain

the evidence is enough for prosecution?

Is it because...

the plaintiff

is a young girl on a wheelchair?

Are you so eager

to protect the underprivileged

that you decide the accused

must have violated Ms Li?

Am I correct?

Your Honor,

objection. The question is leading

Your Honor,

no further questions

Ms Law, what happened

on the day of the incident?

That day our class was delayed

So I telephoned Dr Zhou that we'll be late

and I accompanied Jane to the clinic

After Jane Li entered Dr Zhou's room,

were you present at the scene?

No, I waited for her outside

Did you hear any sounds

from the room?

I seem to have heard someone cry

How did it sound like?

Did it sound like Ms Li crying for help?

I'm not sure

I watched that drama

you had been watching

During the exact time of the alleged incident,

the two leads were having a fierce argument

They shouted vehemently

Are you sure the sounds came from the room?

When Ms Li exited the clinic,

did she mention to you

that Dr Zhou had molested her?

No

But her eyes were red, as if she had cried

Could Ms Li have red eyes because

she had worked hard and was tired?

Objection!
