CHINA PEOPLE'S TELEVISION
The locket your client mentioned was a gift from me.
It's not good that he argues before the court
that you do not represent his wishes.
I think you must satisfy the American by changing your plea.
General Hong, that is a death sentence.
My duty under the law is to defend the accused according to Party principles.
Yuelin,
if I construed my own duties so narrowly
I would have allowed the Red Guards to crush your father
during the Cultural Revolution.
But I intervened.
I valued his friendship.
As I value yours.
Please. Do as the American wishes.
I thought you were through.
Evidence is missing here, such as Hong Ling's locket.
Please do not make me go to the Ministry of Justice
and have them order you to deliver this material.
The Ministry cannot find something that doesn't exist.
I'm going to allow you to save face by speaking English.
Stop. What are you doing here?
I am the court-appointed lawyer. This is my identification.
Why was I not notified?
You don't look like this picture.
Do not touch me, you pig! Do not obstruct my investigation!
Wait!
If you mess up the crime scene, you will bear responsibility!
You better be careful!
Sit down.
Please sit down.
You do not want a cigarette?
I do not smoke, Procurator General.
Your father smoked.
The time has come to end this circus.
No... He is not guilty. I will not bargain.
Your behaviour is an embarrassment to our People's Court.
No, Procurator General.
The shame is on those who abuse power by ignoring the facts.
Do you know what you are speaking of?
A government official who's deliberately obstructed this investigation
and who I believe is an accessory to Hong Ling's murder.
What?
Your client was found with my daughter's blood on his hands.
He was framed.
By whom?
By someone in power.
- Enough! - No!
Let Advocate Shen Yuelin continue.
She is aware of the consequences to her if the charge remains unprovable.
What is it about where these telephone records lead
that everyone is afraid to face?
Make all the records available.
We have lived in silence too long
with courtrooms within courtrooms.
Why can we not conduct our affairs in daylight?
Why can we not trust the people to witness them?
Why can we not allow their voices to be heard
rather than crushing them into muteness?
I am willing to pay the price if I am wrong.
Are you willing to pay the price if I am right?
