I also heard them say that Man Sir raised a little girl just to date her.
Is Fei with you?
Ask him to keep you company. Ask him to take you home, OK?
I asked you before. You said there's nothing between you two.
So you should really let her date.
Hey, what are you doing? Help...
Cheap guy. You're molesting her?
Kill me. You'll go to jail for that.
Admit it. Because I've fallen for you too.
Tell me you've fallen for me too.
Ka-ka...
What are you two doing here?
Why are you so dumbstruck? Are you really surprised by my surprise?
No...You're back?
What's the matter with you?
I don't feel well.
You don't feel well? Have you been drinking?
She was just discharged from the hospital. How could you let her drink?
Let's talk at home.
How are you?
Uncle Dik.
You're such a naughty girl. Go to sleep. We'll talk when you wake up, OK?
Don't catch a cold.
She's a silly girl. Why didn't you keep an eye on her?
Why do you let her do whatever she likes?
You need to supervise her.
Sorry.
When I called you last time,
I was mad at you for not telling me right away that Ka-ka got hurt. I yelled at you.
I should be the one apologizing to you. I'm really so irresponsible.
I wanted to further my career in the States. So I left Ka-ka with you.
Actually you've helped me a lot already.
How could I have peace of mind in the States without you looking after her?
But I blamed you for not informing me. I'm really crazy.
Please don't say that. We've been good friends for years.
Exactly. That's why I know you the best.
I treat Ka-ka like my own daughter. So do you.
She said she wanted to get married.
You bought her a pair of gold wedding bracelets.
Of course you care about her. She's petulant.
She broke off her engagement. Is it because there's a third party?
Or has she fallen for someone else? She didn't tell us.
No. Actually I don't know.
True. You treat her like your own daughter.
How would a daughter talk to her dad about her love life?
She'd just talk to her friends, right? What are you doing?
I want to change the light bulb for her.
I come from time to time to do maintenance for her.
That reminds me of my older sister who moved out when she was in her 20s.
My dad often went to her home to change the light bulbs and water pipes.
It seems Ka-ka should call you her godfather.
Why are you still up?
You're home?
It's almost midnight.
If you don't get eight hours' sleep, how can you cope with the exam?
Brother Shing, I want to...
What do you want?
I want to...
What?
I want to go online for a while longer.
Why? Tomorrow's exam so important. It's the CPA exam.
Pass the exam and you'll become an accountant.
Look. I'll turn on the heater for you later.
Don't catch a cold.
Don't skip the exam like you did last time. Go...
I'll wake you up two hours before the exam tomorrow morning.
I'll make breakfast for you and take you to the exam center.
Just go to sleep now, OK?
Don't even dream, alright?
Alright.
Miss, don't be so silly. Life is precious.
It's you? What are you doing? You're not going to jump, are you?
Hey, come on down and talk.
Put this on or you'll catch a cold, OK?
I want to catch a cold. I want to get pneumonia.
Are you crazy?
Getting pneumonia feels awful. You'll keep coughing.
If it weren't that serious, how could I not take the exam then?
Exam? Oh, it's that math exchange group I saw last time?
No. I have to take the CPA exam. But I really don't want to.
Then don't take it. Why make yourself get sick?
Oh, it's because of Man Sir, right?
You don't want to take the exam. But you dare not tell Man Sir.
So you came here to do something really childish.
I know it's childish.
But I really can't figure out another solution.
I understand. You're gifted in math. So you're forced to take the CPA exam.
That's crazy.
Are you supposed to marry a foreigner if your English is good?
So you understand?
You think you're the only one who's gifted?
When I was six years old, my coach said I was gifted in swimming.
He forced me to practice every day. Hey, I didn't want to.
I'm good at swimming.
But that doesn't mean I have to take part in the Olympic Games.
Exactly. I'm good at math.
That doesn't mean I'll like working as an accountant.
What do you like to do then?
It's hard to tell you.
You can't tell me? Don't do anything illegal.
Of course I won't. Actually I want to work in CSD.
I've always wanted to.
I go to STI's passing out with my older brother every year.
I remember you. You won the Principal's Shield in 2008.
It seems you really are serious.
Of course I am.
Actually I've applied in secret twice.
But I failed the fitness test both times.
Try a third time. I'm sure you'll pass.
No, I'm hopeless in PE.
It takes me more than five minutes to run 800 meters every time.
Sit-up is even worse.
I hate people who say they can't do something before they give it their best.
I thought it was hard to train my muscles.
I thought it was impossible to complete a triathlon.
But with practice, I can do that now.
You have so many excuses. Forget about it.
Spend the rest of your life with numbers.
No. I had a bad dream the night before last.
The numbers crushed me so hard I couldn't even breathe.
Think about it then.
Hey, please don't leave.
I can't help you.
You can. You can do a triathlon.
You helped me lie to my older brother the other day. I know you can help me.
It's OK. Please sign here.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for buying clothes for Hang-hang.
When I get out, I'll repay you by installments.
Don't be silly. I don't expect you to pay me back.
If I wanted you to, I'd buy something that you could afford.
That's true. I thought you would just buy them from a roadside stall.
Consider it a gift from me to him. He's so cute and nice, right?
I also want to buy him a pair Of sneakers.
Really? I had wanted to ask the officers to do that for me.
Perhaps it's a kind of complex. I can't run.
But I want to see him run really fast in a pair of sneakers.
Hey, forget about it. It's too expensive. Kids' feet grow really fast.
I'll buy them later then.
I've given you shampoo, moisturizer and hand cream.
Shampoo? I haven't used that in a long time. I just use soap.
I haven't used any moisturizer or hand cream in a long time.
Look at my hands, they're really rough.
I told you you can tell me what you need.
No, thanks. Those aren't necessities.
No, you just want to save up
so you can buy something for Hang-hang when you get out.
Anyway if you need anything, just feel free to tell me.
No. I can’t ask you to buy me things all the time.
When you get out, buy me a meal when you've made some money.
Hey, time's up. I can't talk to you anymore.
Thank you very much then.
Don't mention it again
unless Hang-hang is wearing sneakers that I bought him and running very fast, OK?
That's it. Bye.
What's that? Red lipstick? You're in jail. Who are you wearing it for?
For you? Or you?
Don't worry. I'm not into that. Where are my cigarettes?
I paid already.
What's the matter with you?
You ate yesterday. So you don't need to eat today?
You're crazy.
Never mind. Take these instead... You want to play? Go to hell.
What's the matter? Madam...
Disperse...Calling Control.
An inmate in the Book Binding Workshop is injured. Send in medical staff please.
Your injury is so serious.
I tripped and hit my head when I was taking a shower.
Be more careful next time. Get some rest here.
Thank you, nurse.
Are you better now?
Shush...Let me tell you a secret.
Killer Whale fears nothing except my epilepsy seizures.
You faked it on purpose.
Next time let me see your red lipstick.
You have a red lipstick. You're so cool.
It's not cool at all.
Did your boyfriend give it to you?
Of course not.
That must be it. You stuttered. When I've fallen for someone, I stutter too.
Thank you so much for what you did.
It's a chance to sleep here.
The bed sheets and quilts here smell so good.
Yuen Lai-sa, the welfare officer has come to see you.
This is the fourth time already. You've tried to commit suicide four times.
It's easy if you really want to die. Just use a chopstick or a chipped plate.
You can kill yourself with that.
But even God doesn't want you to give up now.
Don't be so silly, Sabrina. Let's get you to see a psychologist again, OK?
Please ask Logan to come. I want to see him.
It's been three years. You've been in jail for three years.
You two have broken up for three years.
There's no written agreement.
But when two people get together, there's a promise.
If one wants to break the promise, he has to tell the other person face to face.
We didn't break up. I'm just forced to be apart from him.
I've seen many similar cases.
I'm different from other people. Do you know who Logan was?
I was his boss. He spent so much effort chasing me.
People said he wasn't good enough for me.
He's had a change of heart already.
No, he wouldn't. I became an inmate because of him.
You want me to accept failure without knowing why? I can't. Please do me a favor.
I beg you please. Please talk to him.
It's you again?
Can we talk?
Sorry. I really can’t help you.
Every second is money to me. Why would I spend my time entertaining you?
No, Sabrina really needs your help. If you ignore her, she'll kill herself.
I'll say this one last time. I really can't help her.
Just once, OK?
Hey, I have nothing to do with her anymore.
Ten minutes. Give her ten minutes. You can help her.
She's tried to kill herself four times.
If you ignore her, she might try a fifth time.
Please have pity on her. Please.
Enough. I'll call the police.
No. Just ten minutes. Do this for her once please.
Sir.
What's the matter?
This woman keeps harassing me.
No, I...
Miss, your ID card please.
Excuse me. We work in CSD's Rehabilitation Unit.
This gentleman is a friend of an inmate. We just want to talk to him.
Sir, is that OK with you?
Listen carefully. I'll let it go this time.
If you do it again, I'll call the police and file a complaint against you two.
Did I make a mistake again?
You didn't. But you applied the wrong effort
I don't want her to kill herself.
She's someone who's determined to get what she wants.
She has a big ego.
Even if Logan were willing to talk to her,
the problem still can't be solved.
Sabrina was an A-student at a top university
She comes from a really good family.
She was a senior bank executive before she went to jail.
She's never suffered any setbacks before.
Now she's in jail. And she's been ditched too. How do you think she'd feel?
How can I help her then?
I have an idea. There's no certainty that it'll work.
You can give it a shot.
Sabrina.
Logan agreed to see me?
I still don't know how I can help you. But I have a suggestion.
The Observatory says there have been lots of stars in the sky lately.
It's unprecedented.
If you get a chance, look out the window and have a look.
Morning, sir.
Morning, Old Devil... Wait for me in the Evidence Room.
Yes, sir.
From today on, your responsibility is great.
Yes, sir. I will stay alert.
I trust you. Your performance is very good.
I will recommend you for the forthcoming Potential Officer Scheme.
If you can get a promotion before you retire,
your pension will increase by a lot.
Thank you, sir.
Q, is it really boring doing desk job?
He's so active. You can tell from his look that he's bored.
No, it's OK. I don't need to walk around.
I can save my energy for jogging when I'm off.
Be honest with yourself. Wrong spelling.
Don't feel so bored.
How could you tell without looking at it?
Has Yip Sai-heung make trouble in close supervision unit (SU)
these past couple of days?
Basically he's been normal.
On several occasions when I passed by his cell,
I heard him talking to himself.
Excuse me. Do you know...?
Poon Sir, he talks to himself. What's his problem?
I tried to do a psychological assessment on him earlier. But he's very uncooperative.
I can't determine if there's a problem with his mental state at this moment.
You can't hear?
Or do you see things that other people don't see?
Mr Yip...Mr Yip. Do you hear me? Mr Yip.
Sit down...
A man and a pen. A pen and a man. I'm the Father. Do you understand?
Don't let what Yip Sai-heung does fool us. I'm sure this isn't that simple.
I have a hunch he wants to stir trouble again.
297558.
You're still studying English? It's useless. They're all in English.
There are no foreigners here to talk to you.
You're stupid. It's useless in here. But it's useful outside.
As my idol says, find a way for yourself.
If you can do that, you'll get an early release.
Isn't that right, idol?
I'm afraid I won't live that long.
I must live a long life because my daughter is waiting for me outside.
She's a big girl now.
I've never carried or hugged her before. I've never taught her anything either.
I have to at least upgrade myself so I can be her role model.
Puny, you haven't talked at all since you were discharged from hospital.
Hey, do you know your breath will stink if you don't talk.
This will affect your digestive system. Then your metabolism will slow down.
Then you'll get constipation. It's really sad if you can't poop.
Idol, why don't you persuade Puny to let Madam Lo visit him?
Puny, I told you before that Madam Lo is a prison visit volunteer.
Talk to her. You'll feel happier.
One getting out from SU.
Sit over there.
Kid, you've got guts.
You mutilated yourself last time to bluff me? Impressive.
Hey.
Are you tired from having worked all day?
No.
No? You look so worn out.
Really? Do I?
If you can't manage, why don't we reschedule?
What do you mean reschedule?
If you fail to get into STI again this time,
you'll have to live with numbers for the rest of your life.
You'll have to do what you hate.
Then you'll look as worn out as me for the rest of your life.
I understand. But you look so tired.
When I start exercising, all my strength comes back.
You're so amazing.
I was right to ask you to be my coach.
Let's do Bailey Bridge now.
I wish I could do it fifteen times in thirty seconds.
Then I'll score at least two marks.
If you let me train you, I promise you'll score the full five marks.
I don't need that. I just need a total of fifteen marks.
You're not ambitious at all. Your turn. Bailey Bridge.
What? I'm a bit scared. I'm really weak.
It don't care if you're weak. What bothers me is if you won't work hard.
Remember: Perseverance can change a person's capability.
Two options. Be an accountant to please other people.
Work in CSD to please yourself. Your call.
Yes. Perseverance will change a person's capability.
Done.
So efficient? Are you used to doing a desk job now?
Or you think it's no fun walking around like we do.
I don't know.
You don't know? You look so happy. Take it easy. Carry on.
Come in.
Don't work so late. Finish the milk and go to bed.
Thank you, Brother Shing.
I've taught you some strikes. Now you can do it so well.
You're a mess.
I just washed my hair.
I don't mean your hair. I mean you as a person.
Didn't you say the desk job in Stanley was really boring?
Yes. It was really boring at first. But somehow it's OK now.
Perhaps someone's persistence has inspired me.
Someone has inspired you?
I've been someones personal trainer.
I'm really happy training other people.
Who is it? Who trusts you so much? Who is it?
I can't tell you yet. I'll tell you when the time is right.
Right. Trainer. Train people.
I can train people as a training officer, right?
Hello, Yau-yau. I was about to call you.
I've decided to write an application letter to STI.
Really?
Yes. Actually I talked to my colleagues about that earlier.
But now I'm all the more certain that I want to do that.
If we're lucky, I'll see you in STI later.
That would be great.
So why did you call me?
I want to tell you that I practiced Bailey Bridge just now.
I did it 16 times.
Hey, do 21 times to get five marks.
I'll keep working hard. I won't forget what you said.
Perseverance changes a person's capability.
You're a good student.
Madam Lo, I have an inmate friend called Puny.
He's added your name to his visiting list.
So you told him to put my name on it.
Yes. A lot has happened since he's come in here. He's really depressed.
Please do your best to counsel him.
Don't worry. I can easily make anyone talk. I'll talk to him about anything.
So do you like chicken wing tips? What about curry fish balls?
My marinated chicken wing tips are really special. They're really good.
Which workshop do you go to? BB Ward or Sewing Workshop?
Why don't we talk about your younger sister? Son, what would you like to talk about?
All rise.
Good morning, sir.
20 inmates in Sewing Workshop. All correct, sir.
JP visit. Any request or complaint? OK. Sit down and carry on working.
What are you doing?
Man Sir, he's passed out.
Calling Control. An inmate in Cat A Sewing Workshop has passed out.
Send in the medical staff right away. Carly on working.
Chiu Sir.
Man Sir, I've read Li Kwok-wing's file. He didn't have any tattoo when he came in.
The craftsmanship of the tattoo is crude.
It appears to be done with a needle before putting color on it.
There's pus in the wound. It's infected. That why he has a fever.
In other words, there are needles, color or even disinfectant in Cat A Complex.
Ask Wat Sir to search the place thoroughly.
Yes, sir.
Sir.
We sell candies and biscuits.
But this kind of nougat is not on our candies and biscuits list.
Of course we don't have vanilla-ﬂavored tobacco either.
As for this box, I'm guessing it's the color used for the tattoo.
These two plastic bottles contain Hua Diao wine and cologne respectively.
So many contrabands have been brought in.
They were all placed inside plastic bottles and boxes
in order to evade the metal detectors at the checkpoints.
There are so many different types of contraband. It's an insider job.
Today we found nougats.
What if they bring in guns and bullets someday?
That's why we must stop this.
Man Sir, I've got something.
Puny ate a piece of nougat a couple days ago in the visiting room.
He came in not too long ago.
It's impossible that he'd be so close to the staff so soon.
Maybe someone gave it to him.
The most gluttonous person in the complex is Uncle Ching.
Right. He even roasted a crow and ate it.
Let's focus on him.
Copy that.
Man Sir, I've got something.
Kid, you never talk. You breath will stink.
I may be old. But I'm very open-minded.
If you don't understand anything, you can ask me.
I can tell you how to stay away from those bullies. How old are you?
21.
You're 21. I'm 71. I'm old enough to be your grandpa.
You're a good boy. Let me treat you to a piece of nougat candy.
I spent much effort to get this. Don't be such a prude. Come on.
Thank you.
Tell me how you got it.
What do you mean?
If you cooperate with us,
we'll mitigate for you in the disciplinary hearing.
But if you don't, you'll go to SU.
Man Sir, please don't lock me up in SU.
If you do, I can’t listen to the radio. Then I can't fall asleep.
Last time I roasted a bird. You locked me up for seven days.
I didn’t sleep at all during that period.
Then tell me how you got it.
A piece of candy is like water in a desert. Nothing is comparable to it.
It's just a piece of candy. It's not that much.
Even half a piece of candy is still a breach of the rules.
Sir, we still have our souls even though we're in jail.
We just leave our bodies here. But there's still a heart inside.
We still have so many desires and longings.
There are still many things that we can't let go of.
It's really painful to be locked up behind bars.
If you can't leave your desires behind,
of course you'll find it painful to be in jail.
You want so many things. But you can't get them.
You'll just suffer.
You've been here for 20 years already. How come you still can’t let go?
Sir, I'm not a saint.
If you have desires, even if it's forbidden, you won't be able to hold yourself back.
Do you know how long it's been since I last had hotpot?
The Americans just go to war. They don't go to hotpot.
Man Sheung-shing, I don't care.
I want to drink with you all night.
Your face is so red. Can you drink till daybreak?
I can even get you drunk.
Uncle Dik, don't just drink. Eat a squid ball.
I bought them especially for you.
No, I can’t eat squid balls. You have the quota.
I have three highs: Go (sounds like "high"), went, gone.
OK. You eat them then.
Mind your health, old man.
If I didn't need to worry about her so much, I'd be healthier.
What?
What? First you wanted to go on an adventure.
Then you cancelled your wedding.
I don't know what you're doing. Have you fallen for someone else?
No...I haven't.
No? I wish I could understand and know what a young girl thinks.
OK. Don't sing. I'll play some songs, OK?
Good. Do you have Canto songs? Sam Hui. Michael Kwan. OK?
Man Sheung-shing, do you remember when school was out,
we'd often sing this song?
You don't need to sing it.
They've never heard the song before. They won't relate to you.
Why won't they? It's rock.
Uncle Andy, why don't you pick the songs yourself?
I really don't know your songs.
Just Canto songs. Do you know Annabelle Louie?
Once Upon a Rainbow? Rainbow Chasing the Moon?
Give her a break. They just know K-Pop.
What Pop?
Korean Pop Music.
We did pop back then too. But it was J-Pop. I'll pick the songs.
Stop...Look what I found.
What is it?
Classic. You'll regret it if you don't watch it. Come on. Stop eating.
Pay attention...
Ka-ka, look at the camera. Right. Smile.
Look ahead...Smile.
Ka-ka...See? It's so different when I'm holding her.
Big deal.
Something's wrong. It's wet.
I know. She peed.
No way.
First prize. She pooped. Sis, she pooped.
You still aren't potty trained? I've changed her diaper three times already.
You help her change this time, Man.
Me?
You change her diaper.
It serves you right.
Give me a hand.
Oh, it's the end.
The end? Why didn't you shoot Brother Shing changing Ka-ka's diaper?
Of course not. The Film Division of the OFNAA would cut it.
Of course I can't shoot that.
Do you have time to meet now?
Brother Shing, my friends from the math exchange group said
they want to go out for a drink. They asked me to join them.
You don't need to get up early tomorrow.
You can go. But you must get home before midnight.
OK. No problem. You guys enjoy yourselves.
Bye.
Ka-ka, I'll watch your videos next time.
Bye.
By the way, how can you keep so young looking? What do you eat?
What do you mean eat? I exercise every morning.
Exercise? How do you exercise your face? How can you look so young?
You're old enough to be Ka-ka's dad.
If I had a wife, I'd like to have a kid too.
By the way, I ran into a good friend on my way back this time.
She's really refined. She's single too. Let me introduce her to you.
How refined?
She's a dietitian. Does that suit you? You want to be healthy, right? It's a match.
Then ask her to come out so we can meet.
Do you want to go to dinner with her?
Whatever. The girl makes the call.
OK. It's decided then. I'll call her.
Don't say no again. You know your character.
Your uncle is so happy. He insisted on going out to buy more booze.
When you got hurt the other day, you asked me something.
Then I said something like I wanted to get together with you.
Actually you were bleeding. I was so desperate. I just talked nonsense.
It's like when you hit your head when you were playing. You asked me a question.
I said yes to whatever you said. I'd do whatever you asked me to do.
Actually I didn't know what I was talking about.
Do you understand?
What are you saying?
Don't be so silly.
I've been taking care of you since you were a little girl.
I changed your diapers for you. I took you to school.
I even met your teacher in the capacity of your parent.
I'm old enough to be your dad.
What's the matter with you?
Why is your attitude completely different from that night?
I do love you.
But it's not that kind of love. Do you understand?
I must have done something to mislead you.
Mislead me? You're just afraid of shocking Uncle Dik.
If you're scared to tell him, I'll tell him then, OK?
No. I don't want the misunderstanding to get worse.
I don't know how to explain it.
So you...? Forget about it. I'm sick of harassing you like this.
Just pretend nothing happened. Presume nothing happened, OK?
It's your uncle. Look.
If there's still a misunderstanding between us,
I'll clear it up with you later, OK?
Let me talk to him on the phone first. Hello.
There are so many stars tonight.
So you still haven't told me why you wanted Sabrina to look at the stars.
I want her to calm down and think about herself. She's so smart.
I'm sure she'll figure it out.
But I can't.
When my girlfriend, who's my stepmother now,
told me that she wanted to break up with me,
she said she had fallen for my dad. Of course I was really shocked to hear that.
I asked her why.
She said when she looked at the stars with my dad,
she found them particularly bright and beautiful.
But when she did the same thing with me, the stars weren't bright at all.
Of course I was angry to hear that back then.
I thought: If you want to cheat on me,
go ahead. Why talk about the stars? Cut the pretense.
I couldn't let it go.
After I don't know how long, I finally realized why I couldn't let it go.
I realized that when she was with me, everything she saw seemed grey and dim.
When she was with my dad, everything she saw was beautiful.
That's because she didn't love me anymore.
Sabrina's situation is more or less like mine back then. Shes in jail now.
She still has her ego and desires like us.
Perhaps she doesn't understand that
her ego and desires will only cause her more pain.
You and I can look at the vast sky now.
But there are many things that you can't chase.
It's like love. It's strange.
Sometimes we don't know that things will turn out a particular way.
It's like a girl somehow falling for a particular boy but not another one.
Today they're together. Perhaps they'll break up tomorrow.
If their getting together is the will of God,
then whose will is it when someday they break up?
Is it determined by man or God?
I hope someday everyone can find a partner who can make the stars seem
particularly bright and beautiful.
