Black Heart White Soul

Marco's been charged by CCB for money laundering.

He wants you to defend him,

because you did a good job last time losing Tam Mei-ching's case.

Like last time, it's in US dollars. What do you think?

I won't keep you.

OK. I need to think about it.

Fine. I'll leave the money here. Call me when you've made up your mind.

May, you're at my place now? OK. I eat anything. Bye.

Tam Mei-ching. Calling.

You seldom come here.

I really didn't expect you'd come see me.

I know you've taken on a legal aid case to defend a girl called Tam Mei-ching.

My client wants you to lose the trial.

Your client wants the girl to go to jail?

You must be surprised and want to know why.

No. I never want to know about things I shouldn't know.

But at this stage, I stand a very good chance of winning.

It seems a bit late that your client wants me to lose now.

Never too late. You're so professional.

You must have noticed that among the supporting documents,

there's no fingerprint report for the stolen property inside the bag.

I just discovered that.

Good. You're really sharp. See what you can do then.

As far as I know, prosecution hasn't found out yet.

I need to think about this.

OK. I'm sure you know who my client is.

If you can build a good relationship with Marco Ma,

it'll be very helpful for your career.

I'm sure I don't need to say anymore.

By the way, Marco is very smart. A lot of people are envious of him.

Even if he doesn't make trouble, people will still find fault with him.

So he definitely needs a barrister to help him.

I know you need to think about this. I'll leave the money here. Sleep on it.

You're right. I was biased to think that Tam Mei-ching is an accomplice.

I really hope you can help her.

I don't want to get another person into trouble.

It's what you want to do that counts. There are only things you don't want to do.

There's nothing you can't do.

Like last time, he said he needed to think about it.

As long as he needs money, he'll remain controllable.

Like last time, I'm sure he'll take the case

But a lot of things are beyond our control.

Tam Mei-ching went to jail a year ago because of him.

But now they're already dating each other.

Really? Interesting.

I'm worry that their relationship will affect your case.

Hey.

Marco, should we consider replacing Matt?

We can't control who he dates.

It doesn't mean we can't control other things.

Take the last case for example.

If Tam Mei-ching's testimony hadn't messed up our plan,

we wouldn't have done all those extra things

So what? In the end, I solved the problem, right? That girl was stupid.

Her hearing was too good so she had to go to jail.

It's because you have good connections. You're far-sighted.

You have your own people all over the place.

We wouldn't have found out that Tam Mei-ching's statement

was damaging to us if it weren't for Yeung Yuen-chi.

It was chaotic back then. I heard him shout, "No".

Then I heard the second shot.

After about a minute, I heard the third shot.

Are you sure Hung Kwok-tung shouted, "No"?

Absolutely.

Hello, Yeung Sir.

Tam Mei-ching said after she heard the first shot, the Councilor shouted, "No"?

Yes. Her statement is completely different from our colleague's.

This is a problem. See how you'll handle it.

OK. We'll deal with it. Thank you... This is really damaging to us.

OK. Let me think about it.

Did anyone follow you?

Of course not.

There's no "of course". Of course, I thought you could do the job,

but you let your mask be ripped off.

Now everyone knows what happened.

It was just an accident. Don't worry.

I've made arrangements to go to Holland in a couple of days.

Everything will be fine.

There are too many unexpected events. Your girlfriend suddenly went to work.

She's a lead. The cops will get suspicious.

The cops can't find me. It's no use talking to my girlfriend.

She doesn't know anything. They won't get anything from her.

Your girlfriend's statement is the headache now.

I want everything to be safe. There's a new plan.

Do one more thing for me before you leave tomorrow.

What new plan?

Leave the stolen stuff in your girlfriend's home.

Isn't that a waste? It's money.

I always pay you well. I want everything to be safe.

Your girlfriend's statement could be a problem for us now.

I want to discredit her.

Even if I put the stolen stuff in her home,

the cops may not go there to investigate.

They know your face. The cops will look for you.

You better be faster than the police.

You really want her to take the fall?

You feel bad for her?

She's just one of the girls I have.

Fire, better her than us.

She's just unlucky.

Are you crazy?

What are you doing?

I'm in trouble. I need to get out of here. I can't carry the bag with me.

No.

Listen to me. You won't help me? Put the things in the bag.

Wait for me to come back.

Hello.

May, something so serious happened in the store. Why didn't you tell me?

I...I...

It's me. It's done.

Did you see your girlfriend pick up the stolen stuff before you left?

Of course I did. Don't worry.

Her fingerprints will be all over the stolen stuff.

OK. I'll take over from here. Have a safe trip to Holland.

Be safe too.

If the defendant had conspired with Lau Yim,

why would she struggle with him?

The defense lawyer was really observant. His points were very sophisticated.

Several of our prosecution witnesses couldn't answer his questions.

Right now the prosecution can't rebut him. It seems like the judge buys his argument.

OK. Thanks. Talk to you later...

The defense lawyer is stronger than we expected.

There's so much circumstantial evidence.

But still we can't get Tam Mei-ching convicted.

More uncertainty? Who's the defense lawyer?

His name is Matthew Ko. Ko Chit-hang. He came to see you a few times.

He was hoping he could get to know you so you'd refer more cases to him.

At the time, you didn't think he would be of help to you. So you didn't see him.

The one in the wheelchair?

Yes.

Did you check his background? How good is he?

When he took up the legal aid case, I asked someone to check his background.

He was crippled in a car crash several years ago. But he's really tough.

He was called to bar after the car crash.

He's good,

but he lacks the reputation.

No one knows him.

So he doesn't get cases. He always goes around soliciting business.

He wants to save up money to heal his legs.

That's the point. He needs money.

I'll be charitable and give him what he wants.

You mean?

I want everything to be airtight. Tam Mei-ching's testimony is a problem now.

I want to discredit her so that the judge won't believe her.

Got it. Lau Yim has done his part already?.

Tam Mei-ching's fingerprints are all over the stolen stuff now.

Take care of that for me.

OK. I'll go to see Ko Chit-hang.

Good.

Your client wants the girl to go to jail?

If you can build a good relationship with Marco Ma,

it'll be very helpful for your career path.

I don't need to say anymore.

So he definitely needs a barrister to help him.

I'll leave the money here. Sleep on it.

Ming, you're here?

Why is there so little food left? Just two cup noodles.

Right. I'm running out of daily supplies too.

I wanted to ask you to buy them for me.

Don't use so much then. You haven't paid me in two months.

You still want me to buy them?

I don't have any cases. I'll pay you next month.

You always say you have no cases and you'll pay me next month.

Can you wait until next month to eat and poop?

I didn't say I wouldn't pay you. Do you need to say that?

Everything costs money. I spent a lot on the handicap facilities for you.

I thought you could repay me when you became a barrister.

But you don't get any cases. Listen carefully.

I won't subsidize you anymore.

If Dad had paid for my medical expenses, I could have been walking by now.

And I wouldn't need you to take care of me.

Could have, right?

That means you could also never walk again. Can you not be so naive please?

You always say new medical treatments can help you.

People just want to cheat you of your money. Look at you. You're like this now.

You're a burden on the family. You're still complaining about it?

I'm your older brother, and this is how you talk to me? Don't you feel guilty?

I always come and help you bathe and wipe your body.

What disgusting things haven't I done? I'm your fairy godmother. Me feel guilty?

Don't forget I paid for your wheelchair. I paid for your surgery and physiotherapy.

Without me, you'd just be a street bum. What's the use of feeling guilty?.

I ended up like this, because I felt guilty. Let me tell you,

I so regret that I was stupid enough to subsidize you.

Don't talk about being brothers. Money is the most practical.

Don't think you don't need to repay me. I owe people money.

I can't hang in there for long. I don't care how you do it.

You have to pay me back this month.

I want to get up...

I know if I take this money, I'll harm an innocent person.

I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life. But guilt has made me broke.

I need money for my legs. I don't have a choice.

What's up, Counsel Ko?

The police gave us a copy of the fingerprint report on the stolen property.

I don't know if I misplaced it or they didn't give it to me.

I just have the report for the exterior of the bag.

I don't have the one for the inside. Do you have it?

Let me see.

I don't have it either. I'll look around and call you later.

Thank you.

Denise.
