Madam Yiu, why are you so nice to me?
When I had an epileptic fit, you weren't scared.
I stank. You didn't go away.
I'm just doing my job.
Remember not to be so despondent. All problems can be solved.
I'm sorry. This is my fault.
I was so unhappy. I cried and left the playground.
I met a strange guy.
He didn't rape me,
but I already felt so terrified.
It was so disgusting.
But you have to tough it out on your own.
You're much stronger than me.
Let's work hard together. Don't give up. Let's keep going.
OK...I think you need to find someone you trust
and tell him your experience.
Why did you insist on driving today? Where are you taking me?
Secret. But today I suddenly feel my job is really meaningful.
I still think something happened to you today.
I talked to a released prisoner. I noticed that she was down and depressed.
Maybe she just needs a little bit of consolation.
If we're more patient and communicate with them with our hearts,
they'll have more hope.
A released prisoner? You saw her again? What was the occasion?
Hey, stop interrogating me. We just had a chat.
I'm not interrogating you. I just care about you.
I know. Sometimes emotional consolation and practical support means a lot to them.
Take Ho-ho for example. She works in Q's restaurant now.
It's a great help to her.
We all want Ting Ho-ho to live happily.
But as Don says,
we can't tell overnight whether a prisoner has rehabilitated.
It's like the bacteria in their bodies.
When they become weak, the bad cells will take over.
Those who went to jail before may not be bad people
and those who have never been may not be good people, Right?
Right. Forget whether they're good or bad. Just focus on driving.
Where are we going? Can you tell me now?
I remember you told me before that after your dad and mom split,
you never went on a carousel again.
I haven't gone on one since I was eight years old.
Why do you want to go on it today?
I want to see how it'll feel to go on it again. Will you come with me?
Sure.
You can't take it apart...
What are you talking about?
Ka-ka, are you OK?
Ka-ka...Ka-ka...Ka-ka...
How are you? Do you feel better now? Do you want to talk to me? Tell me.
You might feel better afterwards.
It's OK. Don't talk about it if you don't want to. It doesn't matter.
I want to tell you that no matter what happens,
I'll always be there for you.
I think I don't have the courage to tell you the whole incident.
That time I happily went with dad and mom to ride the carousel,
they actually wanted to get a divorce.
While I was sitting on the wooden horse, I saw them fighting.
After one round, they were fighting more fiercely.
They looked so terrible.
Back then I wondered
what I had done wrong for them to treat me like that.
I've dated other guys before, but I only trust you.
You give me a sense of security.
I don't need to think about the terrible event from the past. Actually I...
It's OK, Ka-ka. Don't talk about it anymore.
It happened so long ago. Forget about it. Otherwise you'll be so much pain.
You have me from now on, right?
What's the matter?
Maybe I'm just not used to it yet. How should I put it?
It's like I'm driving. I'm used to a certain route.
I'm used to being your uncle. But now, all of a sudden, I'm your boyfriend.
It's like I'm driving on a completely strange road.
The feeling is really weird and strange.
You regret taking this route?
No...But when I drive on a strange road for the first time,
I can't help but feel a bit scared.
I promise you I'll ensure that you're safe as my passenger.
I will protect you forever.
Man.
I don't care how you want to mess around with other things.
But you shouldn't mess with love.
And you. What kind of uncle are you?
You messed with your niece?
Sis.
That's right. You call me your sis like Andy. Shes my daughter.
That means she's your niece.
You messed with a little girl? What's wrong with you?
Mom, I'm not a little girl. We're both grown-ups and single.
We like each other. So we got together. What's the problem?
Don't make such a simple matter so complicated.
We don't need permission to see each other.
Ka-ka's young. She doesn't understand. It's impossible that you don't either.
There's such a big discrepancy between you two
in terms of age and seniority.
You have to face the reality.
Reality? Why are you talking about reality?
You talked to dad about the reality all the time.
In the end, you two split and I became an orphan.
You can say whatever you like.
Regardless, I won't let you be with him. No way.
Why don't you go home first? Don't worry. They just can't accept it all of a sudden.
I'll call you later.
Goodbye.
I didn’t lose it last night because I wanted there to still be hope.
Actually it really never occurred to me that I would be with Ka-ka.
I really treated her like my niece all along
Her parents weren't with her when she grew up.
Sol loved her even more.
Gradually, she grew up.
Our thinking and distance drew closer.
These past couple of years, I started to have feelings for her.
I don't want to listen to this.
I just want to know if you've slept with her. Have you?
I don't want to answer that.
Did you? Did you?
I don't understand what I've done wrong.
You're my best friend.
So I included you in everything I did.
I asked you to come over during holidays.
When I was a teenager, I looked after Ka-ka for my sister.
You were happy to tag along every time.
Sis Ni said fate had brought you and Ka-ka together.
She wanted you to become her younger brother too.
So Ka-ka's not just my niece, but yours too.
Do you remember we changed her diapers for her?
We bathed her, cut her hair and taught her to walk.
We bought dresses for her.
We're not just her uncles. We're virtually her dad.
I can't believe you messed with her while I was in the States.
Do you know it gave me goose bumps when I saw you kiss her?
Didn't you get goose bumps too doing that?
Answer me. Have you slept with her? Have you? Have you?
I haven't...
You feel guilty,
because you think there's a problem for you to be with Ka-ka.
That's why you can't answer me loudly. You're still hesitant about it.
I'm warning you. Leave Ka-ka alone. Sis and I are going to L.A. in two days.
Please settle this before we come back. Otherwise, you'll never be my friend again.
You hear it? The sounds are different.
This one is normal. This one isn't. This one's been sawed.
In a real life situation,
the inmates won't saw it at such a conspicuous place.
They'll choose a higher or a lower spot. Man Sheung-yau.
Yes, sir...This one is normal. This isn't.
It's so simple. Even an idiot knows that.
Speak up.
It's so simple. Even an idiot knows that, sir.
You're right. Wong Siu-hin, you have a point.
It's so simple. I'll teach you something else then.
Go to the other side to do a body search. You. Did I ask you to come?
It's so simple. Even an idiot knows that. Why do you need to learn?
Metal detector.
Keep 2 cm away from the body and scan the whole body.
You never know where the inmates are hiding the weapons.
Man Sheung-yau OK...Lau Siu-po.
Yes, sir.
Sorry, sir. I was wrong. I'm a smart-ass.
So you need enhanced training then.
Any suggestions? What kind of enhanced training does he need?
Wan Bing.
Well...
Wong Tak-mo.
Well...
Man Sheung-yau.
Well...
If you don't say it now, he won't get a chance.
Copy the law.
Again?
That's right. Copy the law again?
It didn't have any deterring effect even though he did that last time.
You don't need to copy. You just need to say it.
Talk about the law?
Say "I was wrong. I'm a smart-ass" and "It's so simple. Even an idiot knows that"
until it's dark.
What?
If you don't say it,
I'll really think you believe you're so smart.
I won't need to teach you then.
I was wrong. I'm a smart-ass. It's so simple. Even an idiot knows that.
Use the same tone and expression just now.
I was wrong. I'm a smart-ass. It's so simple. Even an idiot knows that.
Those who aren't smart-asses carry on with practicing.
I was wrong. I'm a smart-ass.
Lau Siu-po OK.
It's so simple. Even an idiot knows that. I was wrong. I'm a smart-ass.
Wan Bing.
Yes, sir.
It's so simple. Even an idiot knows that. I was wrong. I'm a smart-ass.
It's so simple. Even an idiot knows that.
How many tables ahead of us?
About six.
Thank you. There are six tables ahead of us.
Hang-hang's really hungry. Maybe we should go to another restaurant.
Today is Saturday. It's crowded everywhere.
I brought you both here to try the beef. It's really nice.
Let's wait, OK? We can eat nice beef later, OK?
Hey, Kiu Ching-kiu?
Hello, Jason. How are you doing? It's been a long while.
Hei and Roy are inside. Chubby and his family stood us up.
I see.
Are you waiting for a table?
Yes.
Why don't you join us?
They're my classmates from university. Do you mind if we join them?
No problem.
The beef is really nice. Come on, Ho-ho. Try some.
OK.
Give some to Hang-hang.
If everyone were as patient as you when teaching kids,
there wouldn't be so many kids committing crimes.
There have been so many new inmates in Sha Tsui lately.
Recently, there were two murder cases committed by youngsters in their 20's.
We must teach them well.
Otherwise they'll make trouble again
and cause harm to society when they're released.
Hey, the beef is really nice. Let's eat more I hope the crime rate will drop drastically.
Help yourselves.
If the crime rate would drop just from eating more beef,
that would be perfect.
Do you remember when Professor Wu talked about criminology,
he used to mention the situational crime prevention theory?
Two I's and two R's, right?
Increasing perceived effort and increasing perceived risks.
Reducing anticipated rewards and removing excuses.
Yeah.
Actually I don't understand how criminals think.
Don't they find going to jail really painful?
Why would they still break the law and go to jail?
Not every criminal thinks he'll go to jail.
Exactly. Hey, you said you're not a colleague?
How come you understand the mindset of criminals so well?
Did you study psychology?
Actually I'm a supervisee under rehab. That's why I know.
Hey, dig in. Do you want chili sauce? How about beef?
Actually, every criminal is like this piece of raw beef.
He commits a crime. He must be punished. He must suffer. He's locked behind bars.
He can't sleep at night.
That's the best time for him to reﬂect on his faults.
This keeps repeating. Someday he'll realize his mistakes.
In the beginning, he's ignorant. Then he gains self-awareness.
He goes through the ordeal. Then he changes.
It's like this piece of raw beef turning into a piece of cooked beef.
Good. Your analogy is so appropriate.
I think we should share your beef theory with our colleagues.
Good. To cooked beef.
Cheers...
Kiu, you can put him down.
It's OK. I ate a lot of beef just now. I've got the energy.
I don't want to get down.
Wow, this dress is so beautiful.
You like it? Let's go inside and look at it.
No...No. I can't afford it even with a whole month's salary.
Besides, it's not for me. I can't carry it.
Why are talking like that?
I know you seldom wear this kind of dress. But you can wear it to a wedding banquet.
Besides, I want to reward you for speaking so well just now.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Have you forgotten that I'm a piece of cooked beef?
I'm well done. Give me a minute. Just one minute.
OK. Time's up. Let's go.
Let's go.
You take care of Hang for me. I'll be right back.
Where are you going?
OK.
Hurry. I can't wait.
Coco.
Hey, where are you going?
You're still doing this?
This is none of your business. Get lost.
We're sisters. How is this is none of my business?
Who's your sister? Get out of my way, cripple.
Coco.
What's the matter, Ho-ho?
Don't let her leave.
Let go of me. Who are you? He's your man?
Look at you. Your eye bags have dropped to your nose already.
I don't care if they drop to my chest. I'm in so much pain now. I want to die.
I won't let you die.
Leave me alone. You're an inmate. You're worse than me. How can you judge me?
Coco.
Let it go, Ho-ho.
She's my good friend.
She doesn't want to help herself. You can't help her.
Don't hang out with her anymore for the sake of Hang-hang and everyone, OK?
He's recovered from his injury and returned.
OK. Return to your post and start working.
Shek, you're really so unlucky.
You couldn't kill yourself. You have to come back to jail now.
Shek...Shek...Have you really recovered from your injury?
I've recovered physically. I've figured things out too.
I can't see my daughter again in this life. I can see her in my afterlife.
Idol, I'm sorry.
Understood.
Sir.
Anything special?
Nothing special, sir.
I want to complain.
What's your complaint?
This is so unfair.
Scholar, Shek and I have behaved all along. Why haven't we been released yet?
That so-called Long Term Board is a hoax.
It's the Long-term Prison Sentences Review Board.
They follow certain criteria and procedures
when reviewing the sentences of each and every one of you regularly
to ensure that you're all treated fairly.
I don't agree. This is unfair. I've been locked up for 20 years.
I've never made a mistake. Why haven't I qualified yet?
I've waited long enough.
If the Chief Executive doesn't give me a date, I'm going on strike.
Strike, strike, strike...
Quiet.
If you want to file a complaint,
you can follow the normal procedures.
But you're being unreasonable now. You're making trouble on purpose.
This will affect the Boards review of your case.
I don't care. I can't get out anyway.
I don't want to be like Shek
who can't even go to his family's funeral.
I want to file a complaint too.
I've been locked up here for over 20 years. My conduct is good.
I just ate a piece of nougat candy and a dead bird. I just roasted it.
What did I do wrong? I want to complain. Complain.
Complain...Complain...
All of you shut up. Good conduct? Like what you're doing now?
You don't talk and keep quiet. You cut yourself off from other people.
It's true you haven't breached any rules. But your mindset is just to avoid trouble.
Truly good conduct means you're remorseful. You must have a positive mindset.
Someday when you get out, you will be a law-abiding citizen.
You've been here for so long. You still haven't learned the basic rules.
You're far from repentant.
Remember, you've all committed very serious crimes.
The court sentenced you to life imprisonment.
That means you have to spend the rest of your lives here.
There's a mechanism that provides hope for you.
It's a special grace. It's not a right.
Whoever doesn't agree with this may step forward and voice his opinion.
Game over.
Biu, come with me.
What's with your jacket?
My jacket? Nothing.
Stop playing tricks.
If you won't cooperate with us, you'll be locked up in SU.
Man Sir, the jacket was so loose.
I had it altered a bit to fit my shape, so I can work better.
Everyone is equal in jail. You lose your freedom in jail.
You can't choose as you like.
You need to concentrate on reviewing your mistakes.
You have no right to express your individuality.
Take the jacket off. We need it as evidence.
Fine.
Get him another jacket. Then take his statement.
Yes, sir.
The workmanship is so nice.
My mom was a tailor when I was a kid.
I can say for sure that this is a professional job.
Look at the seams.
I asked someone to alter my denim jacket before.
The workmanship was far worse.
That means this isn't over yet.
Wong Wing-biu is so sloppy. How could he have done this so well?
In other words, someone else did it for him.
We need to find out who altered it
to prevent them from privately helping each other.
Got it.
Hey, what's this?
What is it?
It's urine.
Smell it and you'll know.
Right.
You smell it.
What are you afraid of?
Right. Be careful. Don't spill it.
We see that every day.
Man Sir, it's alcohol.
Alcohol?
Wong Wing-biu, we're searching your cell now. Go ahead.
Yes, sir.
Tak.
Sir.
Check the newspapers one by one.
Sir, I found something.
Rice and sugar. Are you brewing orange liquor?
Lo Wu Correctional Institution.
Madam Yiu.
Madam Yiu, this is for you.
Again? I told you last time not to give me anything again.
This is different. Open it. Come on.
Wait for me. I'll take you to see the sunrise.
What does this mean?
You still don’t get it? It's written clearly on the card.
You mean you like me?
Not like. I wrote it on the previous card. The word is love.
You put your hand into my mouth to save my life. You didn't loathe me.
I started to like you a bit then. I always think of you.
I broke up with my boyfriend. Part of the reason is because of you.
I'll get back to work now. I'm ironing your uniform.
Will do a good job. I'll iron it well. Wait for me.
Sorry.
Miss, what would you like to drink?
Same as his please.
OK.
Sorry. Today an inmate gave me a small gift.
I had to report it to the team leader. That's why I'm late.
What's the matter with you? You look so dazed?
Nothing.
You're unhappy again because of Mom and Uncle Dik?
I told you this is just between the two of us. Forget about them.
Please hang in there for two more days. Then Mom will be gone.
We discovered a series of breaches of rules in Cat A today.
So?
For a tiny bit of happiness,
they'll exhaust their wit to brew liquor in private with limited resources
and make their jackets a bit more outstanding.
In the past, they picked up dead birds and roasted them.
They'll do anything and everything. They even got hysterical.
They're not newbies. Why can't they face reality?
Why do they do so many things?
Inmates are human. Human beings have desires.
When they want something, they'll resort to whatever means.
It's human nature.
I find it funny.
The inmates may not know how to face the reality.
How come I made the same mistake too?
For a tiny bit of happiness, I... Am I doing the right thing?
What nonsense are you talking about now?
I know you're under a lot of pressure because of our relationship.
I know this is hard for you.
Just hang in there for two days. Just two days.
I'm sorry.
Silly guy. Remember to send me your duty roster.
I want to match your shifts.
Otherwise you'll keep working the morning shift when I'm on the night shift.
Then we won't be able to see each other.
You're always swapping shifts. This will affect your team leader.
If she gets a bad impression of you, it'll affect your prospects for promotion.
You think I don't work when I'm on duty? I work very hard. I'm very responsible.
Doesn't matter. Anyway it's not OK if I can't see you. OK? OK?
When someone breaks the law and is convicted,
he's sentenced to jail.
And we supervise them.
To understand the prisoners better, we must know the law. Also...
Wong Siu-hin, get out immediately if you don't want to take the lesson.
Sir, it's not that I don't want to take the lesson.
I just don't want to take your lesson, sir.
Say that again.
Sir, according to the law, it's a breach of discipline
for a correctional officer to communicate with a supervises without lawful authority.
Isn't that true, sir?
Hin, what are you doing now?
I'm not making trouble.
I'm watching a video that's gone viral online.
The title is:
"Two queens fighting for a king. CSD officer in love with an inmate".
The male lead is you, Q Sir.
Look at you.
Your eye bags have dropped to your nose already.
I don't care if they drop to my chest. I'm in so much pain now.
Sir, you're a CSD training officer.
You hang out with a released prisoner and a junkie. You've misbehaved.
How can you be our role model? How are you entitled to teach us, sir?
Thank you.
No problem. Hey, you're back?
Grandma, where's Ho-ho?
Let's talk inside.
Sit down.
What's the matter?
Did you go to the center just now? Did the volunteers show you the clip?
Go ahead and scold me. I'm prepared for it.
I don't scold people. I help them. So do you.
But the way you treat Ho-ho is more than the way you help a friend.
She really isn't just a friend.
So you two have become more than friends?
It's not what you think it is. Ho-ho is my good friend.
She's my benefactor too. I owe her so much.
When I was in Form 3, Mom died.
Do you remember I was really naughty for a while?
I made you mad all the time.
That year, I met some gangsters at the playground.
Stop.
Stop. Miss, is this kid a thief too?
He's not. He just came here to buy stuff.
Kid, I've watched you for a while. Don't hang out with those guys anymore.
Cherish your future.
Thank you.
Those guys either went to jail or became gangsters.
Some even died from taking drugs.
I'm here doing so well now. Shouldn't I be grateful to Ho-ho?
No wonder back then you came home for dinner every night.
You even did the dishes.
That's not all.
Four years ago, the night Ho-ho killed a guy by mistake,
Iran into her at a noodle stall.
He missed the last point. Hey Q, don't you agree?
Sai won't admit it. How about it?
Cripple? Cripple? You called me a cripple? I hate that the most.
This is what I deserve.
14 years ago, she had helped me. Hell is just one step away from heaven.
Four years ago, I failed to hold her back. Heaven is just one step away from hell.
14 years ago, she had helped me. Hell is just one step away from heaven.
Four years ago, I failed to hold her back. Heaven is just one step away from hell.
I see.
I owe her two times altogether. Shouldn't I return her favor?
Perhaps it was predestined
that she had to go to jail then. You shouldn't blame yourself for that.
God granted me a chance to run into her again after so many years.
I don't want to miss this chance again.
This is your burden.
I like helping people too. Sometimes I'm not afraid of anything.
But I'm so old now. You're my only grandson. I'm worried about you.
If something bad happens to you, what will I do then?
I'm afraid you can't help her. And you'll get yourself into trouble.
Madam, this pendant suits you perfectly.
OK. I'll buy it then.
Thank you.
Thank you. Excuse me. I want to look at the cufﬂinks.
OK.
These cufﬂinks are best for gentlemen on formal occasions.
OK. I'll buy both pairs then.
Thank you.
Sis.
What a coincidence? Where are you going?
I'm going home.
Join me then.
Let me carry these for you.
Thank you. You were eager to help people when you went to school.
Your academic results were so good. Your character was good too.
I really wanted to make you my younger brother.
But Andy was jealous. He was afraid my love for him would be diluted.
Really?
That's why I can’t accept my younger brother
getting together with my daughter.
I hope you understand.
I know Ka-ka is young. Love means everything to her. So what?
You two have to face the reality. Her dad and I are the best example.
I wanted to go to London for my fashion business.
He wanted to go to Wall Street for his career in finance.
Our goals were so different.
Back then we weren't realistic. So we ended up like this.
Don't be so silly. This won't work.
Ka-ka studied fashion design in university.
Back then I thought she would join me in the fashion business
after she graduated.
But then she suddenly came back to Hong Kong and joined CSD.
I didn't understand it back then. Now I know she did it because of you.
She gave up her dream and passion because of you.
I know she's petulant. She likes taking things into her own hands.
But you've been a model student all along. You're prudent and upright.
You're her senior.
I know you'll help her pick the right path, right?
Just now I went shopping. I bought two pairs of cufflinks.
Usual practice. The one who sees it first get to choose first.
I know every time you choose something,
you leave the better one for Andy.
So I know I won't be wrong about you. You're a good person.
You're not a selfish person. Let me choose for you.
Thank you.
That's why I can’t accept my younger brother
getting together with my daughter.
She gave up her dream and passion because of you.
You feel guilty,
because you think there's a problem for you to be with Ka-ka.
That's why you can't answer me loudly. Because you're still hesitant about it.
What are you doing? Why is it so dark?
You came so late?
I want to sleep here. Guess what I bought?
I don't know. It's not alcohol, is it?
You told me to abstain from drinking. So why would I drink?
It's caramel ice-cream. You'll find it so sweet.
You want to sleep here? Your uncle and mom would be unhappy.
I'm unhappy too. They keep bombarding me.
It's so hard to bear. I don't want to go home.
Thank God they're leaving in two days.
OK. You sleep in Yau-yau's room then.
I want to sleep in your room. I like the smell of your aftershave.
Ka-ka.
What is it? Is something bothering you?
I'm thinking about whether we should cool down a bit.
What do you mean cool down?
I'm afraid this is just infatuation.
You didn't have your parents with you when you grew up.
I took care of you all along.
Could it be possible that you're used to having me with you
and that's why you feel secure, why you want to be with me?
Maybe it's not true love.
What do you mean it's not love? You doubt my love for you.
You can doubt yourself. But you can't distort my feelings.
Do you remember your dream? It was fashion. Why are you working in CSD now?
If I hadn't inﬂuenced you, would you have given up your dream?
In fact there are lots of problems that need to be resolved in reality.
Shouldn't we be apart for a while? I want to calm down and think about it.
Be apart for a while? You mean you want to break up with me?
Tell me if you want to break up with me.
You always just consider yourself. Have you ever considered what I want?
You like following rules so much. But you failed to observe our rules of love.
Rule number 300.
If we're together, you will be very good to me.
Now you want to leave me behind.
Do you know how selfish you are? You're so selfish.
We'll do the headcount now. Don't hand over the prisoners.
Get ready to submit the muster chit for 1600.
Ka-ka, how come you collect the muster chit today?
Mimi's sick. I'm going to the DO office.
Madam Yiu, what's your decision?
What decision?
Sunrise. When I get out,
we'll hold hands and go see the sunrise together.
What are you talking about?
Because of you, I have hope in my life.
Because you don't loathe me, I've decided to be with you.
I promise you we can go see the sunrise all the time.
When did I say that?
What? You truly love me.
How would I fall for you?
You don't love me anymore?
I need to go to work.
You don't?
I need to go to work.
Where's Silly Chu?
She was here just now.
Silly Chu.
Silly Chu...Silly Chu...
