Black Heart White Soul

Hello guys. I'm Counsel Ko Chit-hang.

He's paralyzed?

Lots of people ask me how I can be a barrister if I'm paralyzed.

The answer is simple.

I use my mouth and brain as a lawyer, not my legs.

My name is Matt. Please call me Matt.

Sir, are you taking her statement?

If Ms Tam decides to instruct me, I have a duty to be here. Right, Ms Tam?

Actually I've finished asking her questions.

You can take your time to talk.

OK. Thank you...Ms Tam...

Just bail me out now.

The police are charging you with conspiracy to commit robbery.

One of the suspects is dead and the other is at-large.

The one at-large is even your boyfriend.

You want me to bail you out immediately. That's difficult.

Difficult? You're a barrister. You can't even arrange bail for me?

Let me get a general picture of your case first.

I've read your statement.

There are details that I don't quite understand.

Why don't you tell me clearly what happened?

See if I can try to help you, OK?

Try? Is there time for you to try?

Have you ever handled this type of case before?

Can you really help me?

Are you worried that I haven't handled this kind of case before or that I'm paralyzed?

You think I can't help you because I'm sitting in a wheelchair?

So you haven't handled this kind of case before.

I need a lawyer who can really help me, not someone who's just trying.

Legal Aid is really lousy. Free service really can't help me.

You shouldn't say that. You think it's lousy because of me.

But there are lots of counsels in the Legal Aid Department

who don't need a wheelchair.

If you think I can't help you,

you can consider looking for someone else. Excuse me, Madam.

Sir, do you want to give me a ticket?

No.

It's OK. I'm leaving.

It's OK. You can park your car here. Actually I...

Actually you're interested in my car.

Let me help you.

No, thanks. I can manage. I'm used to this.

What happened to your legs?

Sir, is this force of habit? Unfortunately, I'm not someone you arrested.

I didn't mean that. I just wanted to know what happened.

Just kidding. I'm sorry. I've got something to do.

Talk to you again next time.

OK. Bye.

Bye.

What's the matter?

I ran into someone today.

Your ex?

Cut it out please.

Do you remember when I shot someone five years ago?

Sure. You were so brilliant to hit the offender.

I wasn't brilliant at all.

Actually, I wanted to shoot his back to incapacitate him. But I missed.

So he had the chance to snatch a car and hit another car.

Actually, that has always bothered me.

Really? You've never mentioned that before. You don't need to feel bad about that.

But the driver was paralyzed.

You ran into the driver today?

Yes. When I was taking a statement from a suspect, he came in on a wheelchair.

He's her defense lawyer. I was dumbfounded.

If my shot hadn't missed the offender back then,

he might not be in this state now.

It happened so many years ago. Are you sure it was your fault?

Did you ask him face-to-face

if he ended up like this because of the car accident?

I didn't ask him.

Exactly. There could be many reasons for why he's in a wheelchair.

You're a policeman, son. Find out the facts first.

I will.

I'll go to the hospital later to check his record.

But it's highly likely that it's him.

He was really a well-respected Councilor.

So many people have come to pay their respects to him.

He helped a lot of people.

Son, you died for no reason. My heart is broken.

I'll be right back.

Ms Yip Ying-sum, please excuse me.

We want you to come in to assist in the investigation of a robbery case.

I just happened to run into you here.

Do you have time to come to the police station later to give a statement?

See? I told you your so-called good friend would get you into trouble.

Ms Yip, you'll be giving a statement... Why don't you take a seat here?

Wang. Sir.

Take Ms Yip to the meeting room.

OK.

Funny Sir, I checked.

There's no record of Lau Yim leaving the territory.

I've already informed Customs and Excise as well as Immigration.

They'll inform us as soon as there's news.

Thank you.

Also, we found out that Lau Yim has a younger sister called Lau Miu.

She disappeared after the robbery.

We're looking for her.

Carry on. I'll go get a statement from a witness first.

Yes, sir.

Did you see Tam Mei-ching after the robbery?

Yes. I got up and went to work as usual the day after the robbery.

There was a robbery at London Station in Tsimshatsui.

Two masked robbers went into the shop and knocked the manager unconscious.

They stole merchandise and kidnapped two hostages on their escape.

An off-duty policeman happened to pass by and fired several shots to stop them.

One of the robbers was shot dead at the scene.

Councilor Hung Kwok-tung who was held hostage was shot dead too.

Hello.

May, something so serious happened in the shop.

Why didn't you tell me? I...

Councilor Hung is dead. How's Ada? Is she OK?

She's hospitalized.

Hospitalized? Let's visit her then.

OK.

I'll get changed. I'll call you after that. Bye.

Ada...How are you?

Why did this happen?

Don't be so sad.

Why did he die all of a sudden?

I can't accept this.

Hey.

At the time, I thought she had a funny look on her face...

I haven't seen her since. Then you guys arrested May.

Do you know Lau Yim,

the guy you know as Fire, is related to Tam Mei-ching?

Yes. They're lovers.

Have you met Lau Yim before?

No...Wait a second. I did see him once.

When?

The day before the robbery. May took me to lunch.

That cafe was so dirty. It was far from our shop...

What are you looking for? Don't mess with your older brother's stuff.

Granny, so you knew? Darn it. He cheated granny too.

He said we mustn't touch his things.

Let me throw them away.

Don't. Yim said this is very expensive. It's very valuable.

Do you know what this is? Dangerous drugs.

If the cops find it, you'll go to jail for possession.

What?

Darn it. He's got everyone into trouble. Sis May's suffering so much because of him.

She really can't prove her innocence this time.

Oh, no. Brother Yim's enemies have come. Granny, sit down.

What's the matter?

Sit down...Keep quiet. Don't talk.

Who are you guys? I don't know you.

Fat girl, do you know where your older brother is hiding the stuff?

I don't know his business.

Darn it. I'll teach you a lesson. See if you know or not.

Hey, grab the fat girl.

Stop, fat girl...

Grab her.

Stop running...Where is she? Over there. Look around...

Ouch.

You're still running? Stop.

Stop, fat girl...

Where's the fat girl? Find her.

It's so stinky. Flush the toilet...So dirty.

Dirty?

Why did you kick me? What are you doing? Hey.

You bumped into me. So I'm hugging you.

Let go of me.

She's yours.

Leave me alone. Let go of me... Madam, she's harassing me.

What's going on?

Everything's fine, Madam.

I want to get out of here. Get me the lawyer from last time.

I want him to bail me out. I want to get out. I want to get out.

The client in the indecent assault case

has instructed Clement Fong to act for him.

Really? I can't help it.

Counsel Ko.

Pretty girl, just a second. For tea.

Thank you...tea.

Wow, these are Auntie Sue cakes. It's expensive.

What would you guys like to drink? It's on me.

Thank you, Counsel Ko.

You haven't gotten any cases this month. You're still so generous to buy them tea?

I want everyone to be happy.

Thank you very much.

Ming? Hello.

Hey, you said you'd introduce me to Denise Chiu.

Why haven't I heard from you at all?

I said I'd help set it up. I didn't say I'd definitely pull it off.

You said you know lots of rich people.

You've given them business cards already so it wouldn't be a problem.

I meant...

You told me you would refer me to Ma Kai-yuen for work

so that I'd get more business.

Don't lie to me if you can't do it.

I did call him. But he didn't return my call.

I can't do anything about it.

You said he's a fellow lawyer. It would be easy to talk to him.

Why are you so useless?

I'm busy right now. I'll let you know when he calls me. Bye.

Crazy.

Matt, there's a case for you.

Legal Aid referred the client Tam Mei-ching to you earlier.

Just now she called you urgently.

She wants you to help her.

Really? How come?
