"My name is Heiyi Ho." "When I was dead, I was 11 years old." "The story is fictional." "Any similarity to any person, living or dead, or to any actual events is coincidental and unintentional." "This is a real story." "Two years ago, I heard it when I dined in my friend's home." "In order to conceal the identities of the people involved and the need of the storyline" "I've made some changes in the script." "All the characters' names are fake, and all are performed by professional actors and actresses." "In fact, the story is....." "On that night about 2 years ago" "I've an attorney friend named Herman Lee." "He hosted a dinner in his house." "He just learned how to cook Japanese cuisine." "And he wanted to show it off." "We planned to meet at 7 p.m." "I was in a meeting with lots of buyers in the office, so I was late, and slightly jammed up in traffic." "When I reached there, I was 2 hours late." "Kei, wait for me here." "I'll leave at around 2 a.m." "Yes, Mr. Law" "Herman!" "You're so late!" "Why don't you come tomorrow?" "Excuse me, I was jammed up in the tunnel." "Just kidding..." "Why so formal?" "Become like this." "Look professional?" "Yes" "Uncle Dennis" "Katty, why are you in Hong Kong?" "It's my term break, that's why I come back." "Let me introduce two of my friends" "Ruth and Grace." "This is my dad's friend, Dennis." "Hello, hello" "Enjoy it..." "Thank you" "That's right, let me introduce" "George, Dennis." "Hello..." "George's mama Hello." "Come on, let me introduce Cat to you." "Cat is a police inspector, my neighbor next door" "Dennis is in the property business as well as a film director" "I've seen you.... in the newspaper." "Have a seat..." "This was the first time I met Cat." "Cat is the inspector of DCS (District Crime Squad) at HKWest" "Herman has a high level of cooking skill." "Especially the snails in wine and chilli sauce." "I got along well with Cat, we chatted about everything." "To boast and flatter in everything." "Usually, no lingering in the subject." "Lost impression very soon." "However, what we chatted about that night," "I still remember it clearly." "I've never tasted such a sweet fruit." "You better eat more Dad." "Very sweet" "Cat" "Great, try one." "Taste it, I made it." "That I really need to taste it." "Of course you need to taste it, yelling about weight loss all the time." "I'm still fat no matter how I eat." "You know, HK people talk about weight loss." "Leaving so soon?" "You really...." "Cat, what district are you in?" "HK West, DCS." "DCS..." "Responsible for robbery, murder cases?" "Yup... also as well." "Is rape also under DCS?" "Yup" "From the police point of view." "What's the difference between raping a virgin and a prostitute?" "No difference, they are both women." "The most important point is the evidence." "What if a woman is under age?" "That's another story." "There's even a difference between under 13 and 16 years old." "What if a father commits incest, and the girl is under age?" "So how?" "Get him into the police station, beat him up ruthlessly." "As a matter of fact, we've had quite a lot of child sex offender cases lately." "Involving the biological father, brother, teacher, security guard, priest." "It includes all sorts of people." "In fact, how could a father molest his daughter?" "Convenience" "Prostitutes in HK are no more than rubbish bins." "Prostitutes ask for money!" "How expensive?" "In general, around 300 dollars." "It can be as low as 50 bucks." "I've heard that before." "You won't be unable to pay 50 bucks, right?" "50 bucks.... even those on social welfare have that." "Yet for 50 bucks, probably without a nice body and a filthy drug addict." "Or an old hooker in her 60's." "Men can't have any passion with such." "Those old pops may like their "clean" daughters, virgins are clean." "You know, guys are always fond of virginity." "Virgin your ass!" "Virgin his ass!" "Worse than a beast!" "A beastly pop raped his daughter in Tuen Mun not long ago." "Her mom told the police that it was better to be molested by her father than by strange men." "Are there such kind of women?" "In fact, there is!" "Through my experience." "Mom knows or tacitly consents in 70% to 80% of the cases." "Mostly, they refuse to admit when they give statements." "I came across a child abuse murder case two years ago." "Even now, I still remember it clearly." "The mother accidentally beat her daughter to death." "That girl's name was Heiyi Ho." "Good Morning, Madame Wong!" "Good Morning, Madame Liu!" "Good Afternoon." "It's 3:30 afternoon." "I was really scared that day, when Josephine Wong suddenly showed up." "Who is she?" "She is the Assistant Commissioner." "She was the Chief In Charge at HK Island at that time." "How high is her ranking?" "We have one Commissioner, that is Tang King Shing." "Two Deputy Commissioners," "Follow by five Senior Assistant Commissioners." "Then Assistant Commissioner." "Within the top ten?" "Not really." "We have more than ten Assistant Commissioners." "Inspector Lam, Heiyi Ho's child abuse murder case." "I think the case isn't completed." "I want to interrogate Becky Lee again." "Yes, Madame." "Arrange it for me quickly." "Let me know when it's ready." "I'll be in the Commissioner's office." "Yes, Madame." "Thank you" "What is it?" "Stir-fry noodles Singapore style." "Not from today." "I don't care if you drink a a beer at lunch." "But straw?" "Ridiculous!" "Hurry up, Inspector Lam!" "Yes, Madame!" "This Josephine Wong is really cocky." "She was an University graduate from England." "Very few people with high qualifications." "Applied for police jobs twenty years ago." "Those University graduates were automatically enlisted as inspectors when they first got in." "Their shoulders soon had 3 stars from promotion to superintendent." "Had she ever worked on a beat?" "Of course not." "She'd lead the whole team out for a general patrol." "Besides that, Barbara is even more extraordinary." "She got her PhD in Criminology in England." "Already a Chief Inspector when she had not yet reached 30." "I've already said so." "No matter how hard it is, you must let your kids study overseas." "What about afterwards?" "Interrogate the criminal." "Where does the criminal sit?" "Over on that side." "Tell them the criminal is here." "This way, Madame." "Madame Wong" "You all go out." "Yes, Madame" "You stay" "Yes, Madame" "You're Becky Lee?" "Yes" "What did you say?" "I can't hear." "Yes" "You're very ill-mannered!" "Who gave birth to you?" "Raise your head when you talk to me!" "Look at me, speak louder!" "Yes" "Answer me in a complete sentence!" "Yes, what?" "Yes, I'm Becky Lee." "And?" "And!" "I'm Becky Lee." "Yes, Madame!" "I am Becky Lee." "Yes, Madame!" "I'm Becky Lee." "You're polite now, so let's start our conversation." "Bring a black cotton bag in." "Yes, Madame," "You're Becky Lee, right?" "Yes, Madame, I'm Becky Lee." "You beat your daughter to death, right?" "Yes, Madame, I accidentally beat her to death accidentally?" "You consider this as an accident!" "What about I clean my gun here, and accidentally shoot you to death." "Is that okay?" "Is that okay?" "Is that okay?" "Answer me!" "No Madame" "I beg you, don't." "Begging me?" "Did your daughter beg you?" "And did you let her go?" "You beat her up for fun?" "Lock the door" "Barbara, what's this?" "A black cotton bag." "Turning off the light, covering the head, beating, still work?" "You bitch, listen carefully." "I'm Josephine Wong, the Assistant Commissioner." "The Chief In Charge at HK Island." "I'll beat you now and I'll beat you again later." "Complain about me if you've guts." "You better complain about me until I lose my job and then I'll fight with you." "How many lives do you have?" "This Madame is nuts." "Beating, threatening, carrying a gun inside the interrogation room." "Almost violating all the rules." "Yet this mad Josephine Wong is excusable." "She took out all the bullets from the gun before the interrogation." "Premeditating" "She clearly knows the difference." "Between serious and extremely serious." "Beating and threatening the criminal is serious." "She is able to handle it." "If the criminal snatches the gun and kills a cop." "How could she handle it?" "No doubt that Josephine Wong is nuts." "Not a dolt." "How many lies have you put in this statement?" "No Madame, I didn't lie" "Becky Lee, how old are you?" "Twenty six, Madame." "Still pretty young." "You have big boobs" "I'm flattering your boobs, say "thank you"" "Don't move!" "Sit straight!" "Are you a triad member?" "No Madame" "You're a young girl with a very nice body." "No triad background, not under anyone's protection...." "When you get into jail, you think you'll be alright?" "For sure you'll be in jail." "A woman like you, who allowed your lover to molest your daughter." "And then beat the little girl to death." "When you're in jail, you will be tortured by the other inmates." "Don't think that women won't rape women." "They're really bored inside with no toys." "If they don't toy with you, who else?" "If you tell me the truth, I can grant you a peaceful life." "If not," "I'll make them rape you everyday and feed you shit." "No..." "Madame, please don't." "Don't think that they will use fingers." "I promise you, they will use a broomstick as...." "No... no!" "Madame, no..." "No, Madame!" "I beg you." "If you can get out of prison in one piece." "I'll chop off my head for you to sit on." "I dare not, dare not." "I apologize." "Madame, let me kowtow." "What are you kowtowing for?" "Do you think you look pitiful this way?" "Your daughter was even more pitiful!" "You and your lover lived in a small, old type public housing." "The unit has no partition, only hanging curtains." "The man molested your daughter for two years." "You dare say that you know nothing?" "Who can you fool?" "!" "I don't know." "I don't." "Hey!" "Open your eyes." "Answer me." "Shaking your head?" "Still telling lies?" "No..." "I didn't lie." "Still dare to tell me lies." "No... no..." "Tell the truth!" "No..." "I'm telling the truth..." "I really don't know." "I dare you to repeat that you knew nothing." "Do a body search!" "Hands off!" "Hands off!" "Bend down." "Open it." "Wider" "Wider" "You can stand up." "I'm waiting for you to tell the truth, I'm waiting." "Madame" "Madam, jacket." "No need." "Cold?" "Put the jacket on." "Thank you, Madame," "Madame, I wanna go pee." "Go ahead." "Thank you, Madame." "You have a very high tolerance level." "OK, let's continue." "Madame" "Smoke?" "Wanna have one?" "Is the criminal a talker?" "She is tough, unwilling to speak." "Understand" "Don't you wanna pee?" "I finished." "That soon?" "No more pee." "Madame, let me have a word." "Yes?" "I've a way to make her tell." "This Becky Lee is tough." "In fact, I don't believe that she didn't know anything." "However, she confessed to a child abuse killing." "Under these circumstances." "We've got enough evidence to charge her with murder." "Despite other minor details." "Even if we sue her for concealing knowledge." "The most that would happen, she'd be in jail for a few more months." "Serving the terms simultaneously, it's meaningless." "They're cleaning the tables, let's talk inside." "Don't you think the mother had molested her daughter too?" "No" "That man has already confessed to child molestation." "How could he confess so easily?" "Because there're lots of evidence." "Do you both want tea?" "Let me make you tea." "No No, we got whiskey!" "Uncle, we're leaving." "So early?" "Yes, it's already very late." "Okay, bye." "Bye" "Hello, where's your mother?" "She is still playing mahjong upstairs." "What is this all about?" "That woman went shopping with her daughter." "Her daughter suddenly fainted while they were walking." "The pedestrians assisted and called the ambulance." "The medics arrived." "And saw the girl's body was full of scars and wounds." "They called the police immediately." "We reached the hospital five minutes later than the ambulance." "They eased the girl's brain pressure and blood." "Prepared for an operation." "Dr. Au, the girl is dead." "When you saw the girl's body was full of scars and wounds." "I knew I needed to take action immediately" "Jack, you return with the suspect for a search warrant." "When you get the warrant, meet me at Sai Wan Estate at once." "Yes, Madame" "Ricky, we dash out to Sai Wan Estate." "Yes, Madame" "In order to save time, I urged my boy to get a search warrant." "And I led the other boy to the crime scene." "I'm scared that someone will destroy the evidence." "How's it going?" "In time?" "The victim's wounds are so obvious, it'll be no problem to get the warrant." "So I arrived at the scene promptly." "In order to avoid anyone moving anything away from the unit." "Fellow Madame" "Anyone got in or out?" "No" "You didn't knock on the door?" "No, we're following the instructions to keep a lookout over a distance." "No one goes in or comes out." "Good" "Stand still!" "What are you doing?" "Where are you going?" "To dump the garbage." "To dump the garbage." "Too new to dump it?" "What proof?" "I live here." "You have utility bills?" "No" "Go get it inside." "Hey!" "Why did you go into my home?" "Dude!" "Who do you think you are?" "How could you call me "Hey"?" "You don't know what's best for you." "Check it out?" "Inspector Lam!" "Now you know." "No more "hey"?" "Moron!" "We continued questioning the suspect until the search warrant arrived." "Inside the washing machine, we found some bed sheets and little girl's underwear." "It was obvious that the floor has just been mopped." "Inside the toilet, we found some burnt video tapes." "Jo may have destroyed partial evidence." "Yet the technology in the police force is very advanced." "Even when the tape is burnt we're able to recapture a lot of video images." "Besides, the most important is that computer." "From the deleted files, we can locate Jo forced the girl to make more than ten videos." "Five of those are sex scenes." "Now the people love to video it." "After the autopsy, it was found that the girl has already lost her virginity." "That bloody moron started molesting the girl when she was 9 years old." "No problem to nail him down." "Jo has no previous crime record." "Still the judge sentences him to eighteen years." "Eighteen years!" "That's a lot!" "What about the woman?" "Seven years for second degree murder." "So short?" "She really did so by accident." "Cat" "Let's go back to Barbara." "What good idea does she have?" "Her idea was evil!" "Dry your hair." "Sit" "Drink it" "Becky Lee, don't you understand?" "Madame isn't angry with you." "We don't intend to beat you up." "We just want you to tell the truth." "Everything will be OK if you tell the truth." "In fact, even if you confess that you knew Jo continuously molested your daughter." "That's not a big deal indeed." "I guarantee that the judge won't give you a heavy sentence." "If you're willing to tell the truth, I'll intercede with the judge for a lighter sentence." "Madame, I didn't lie." "What if you do?" "If I do," "I swear, I swear to God for a thunder strike." "You still don't want to tell the truth?" "No, Madame..." "What I told is the truth." "If not, I deserve a thunder strike, to die in a terrible way." "To die in a terrible way?" "Then you remember what I just said." "Take a look at these pictures." "Your own daughter, don't you have any feelings?" "Don't you have any feelings?" "You stinky!" "Wanna get your mama into trouble?" "Wake up" "Dreaming?" "Who let you sleep?" "Ivy" "Keep on looking." "No..." "It's not necessary to use force under interrogation." "Tell us!" "I'll turn off the machine if you are willing to tell the truth." "Come on, say something." "So, Becky Lee, you wanna confess?" "Answer Madame" "If not, she really will beat you to death." "Speak up!" "Barbara's psychological tactic is extraordinary." "She didn't let us soften or show a touch of sympathy." "Do you sympathize with her?" "I grasped her hands..." "Don't know why" "I feel somehow unhappy." "A sense of sadness." "Hello everyone, am I sexy?" "Comfortable?" "Comfortable" "Are you comfortable?" "You slut, having sex with the old man at 14!" "Who is the better lover?" "Me or the old man?" "How's that?" "How is it?" "Are you comfortable?" "Answer me!" "Are you here?" "Confess, confess that you're telling lies." "You slut, you're not human at all!" "As a mother, you gave birth to your daughter." "How could you let her suffer like this?" "Don't you have any human nature?" "Why don't you speak?" "Why don't you speak!" "I don't want to." "Don't want to!" "What's wrong with you!" "You lust for money." "You can be a hooker if you want money." "How could you be so bad as to harm your daughter?" "I don't care how you use your body." "It's not my business whatever you do with men." "But you can't harm your daughter!" "She is only eleven!" "No more interrogation!" "Resume tomorrow!" "Stop!" "No" "Joey, it's mama" "Joey, it's mama." "Waking you up?" "Come on, it's alright." "It's alright." "Now it is very safe, no one can hurt you, understand?" "Mama is here." "It's fine, okay?" "Did I forget to take my pills?" "What's up?" "Eat it." "Who is it?" "You don't answer calls?" "Commissioner?" "Yes, who're you?" "I'm Inspector Lam of DCS at HK West." "Inspector Lam, what's the matter?" "Becky Lee attempted suicide at the detaining center." "She bled heavily, they just started operating on her." "They're not taking any risks." "Understand" "I'll wait until she has passed the critical stage." "Madame, you don't need to come over." "Okay" "Inspector Lam, if there's anything, please call on me again." "Yes, Madame" "Thank you" "No thanks, I thought you should know." "Bye Bye" "Something happen at the police station?" "A suspect attempted suicide." "Go away!" "Go away!" "Are you crazy?" "Don't be like that!" "No!" "Don't come over!" "Go away!" "Joey" "Don't come over, I'll kill myself" "Joey, don't be silly." "Papa is only playing with you." "Go away!" "Open the door!" "Open the door!" "Help!" "Josephine....." "Nope, I don't." "I can explain it." "Trust me, nothing happens." "Mama, are you okay?" "Okay" "You looked blank." "It is busy in the station." "Where are you going?" "I want to drink some water." "Let me accompany you." "I just want to pour a cup of water" "Joey, let's chat" "Joey, is it good if mama takes an early retirement?" "You are only 47, that soon?" "So I can spend more time with you" "I'll be graduating this year." "If I can get into the Department of Justice," "I won't have time to spend with you." "You're right." "You should catch more thieves, let me help you to prosecute them." "Mama..." "Because Papa was a prosecutor, that's why you don't want me to work in the Department of Justice?" "No" "Your papa is no longer a prosecutor." "He is a prisoner now." "Don't worry, I won't follow in his steps." "I must be an upright, diligent prosecutor." "I know" "My Joey is good and capable." "Good morning, Madame Wong." "Good morning, Madame, Good morning." "Where's Becky Lee?" "How is she?" "The suspect is fine." "She had an operation last night, with a blood transfusion." "She woke up early this morning." "Madame" "Good morning, Madame." "The suspect used the sharp corner of the bed to cut her artery." "There is a bite mark on her wound too." "At 00:18 last midnight." "The on duty policewoman, her number is." "Okay, all of you, get out!" "Yes, Madame" "Including you Yes, Madame" "Becky Lee, you wanna die and then the case is closed?" "It won't be that easy." "You're pretending to be deaf and mute?" "Bite off your tongue if you wanna be a mute." "To earn sympathy through attempted suicide?" "Idiot!" "Only the most useless and cowardly people commit suicide." "Being a mother like you is really hopeless." "You should protect your daughter but you beat her, harm her." "I won't have any pity for your type of rubbish!" "Hey!" "I'm talking to you!" "Respond!" "Answer me!" "You're right," "I'm rubbish, I deserve to die" "I named her Heiyi." "The word means dawn." "The word is very difficult." "I'd like my daughter to begin as bright and warm as the dawn comes up." "However, through these years, she only kept on suffering with me." "Heiyi never had a good day in her life." "In fact, I always knew that Jo molested her." "How could I not know..." "That silly girl thought wearing nine panties and hanging a bell would make her able to protect herself." "Why didn't you save her?" "Women are born to give their bodies to men." "For their fathers at home or guys outside are the same." "What's wrong with you?" "Where did you get this false concept?" "My father hated me since I was young." "He always beat me." "And he watched me showering and changing clothes." "He came inside my room when I slept at night." "Fondling me as well as masturbating himself." "I was scared." "All I could do was pretend to be sleeping." "I just wanted him to finish and leave quickly." "I met my first husband when I was 14." "In fact, I didn't know if he was my husband or not." "He was more than 10 years older than me." "He told me that he loved me and would take care of me." "I was stupid to trust him." "Thought I could leave home this way." "He said he wanted my virginity so I gave it to him." "He said he didn't like condoms so we didn't use them." "Never thought of this man." "Not only did he have a wife but his wife was a PR a manager at a nightclub." "That woman brought a bunch of club girls to beat me up." "That guy never even helped out, but left." "I was kicked out of my father's house at that time." "In order to survive, I lived with another man." "Heiyi was his daughter." "He sold illegal drugs." "Not long after Heiyi was born, he struck up relationship with a woman in China." "And he never returned." "Afterwards, my daughter and I lived with many different men." "But we never had a long lasting one." "They disliked the stretch marks on my tummy which I got from giving birth to Heiyi." "Because I've got a daughter." "Who's willing to take care of two?" "All my life, I've only been to the city a few times." "In fact, I knew all along." "Jo was molesting Heiyi." "But I Dared not say a word." "I pretended I didn't know anything." "I pretended to be stupid." "Madame..." "If I die, will I go to hell?" "Why didn't you seek help from social workers?" "Social workers?" "Don't know." "Have you ever collected social welfare?" "No" "How come you accept guys treating you like this?" "It's nothing really." "Everything is okay after a man has his way with sex." "Only if you don't say a word, don't resist." "You won't get into trouble." "No one will beat you." "Your father will feed you." "No need to suffer from hunger." "Guys from outside are even worse." "You should stay home, that's better." "Be good and no one will beat you." "This is good." "In fact, if you shut your eyes, it'll be over in a flash!" "What can I do?" "I don't know." "What you did is absolutely a big mistake." "Do you believe in Buddha?" "Dunno..." "No idea." "The Buddha says if you don't solve your problems in this life." "This problem will follow you to the next life." "You don't correct your mistakes in this life." "You'll make the same mistake and continue suffering in the next life." "For sure you'll be in jail." "Maybe you can think about what you've done." "Maybe you can understand more." "Heiyi is dead, there's no way she can come back to life." "Yet you can reform yourself after correcting your mistakes." "Is that helpful?" "Not sure, but it's better than not doing anything." "You think it over." "Madame, you still haven't answered me." "When bad people die... will they go to hell?" "Hell?" "I don't know..." "I don't even know where I am right now." "Katty, are you tired?" "You keep on yawning." "A little bit." "Already four-thirty?" "Yes" "Sorry for keeping you so late." "Let's chat sometime later." "Time to leave Okay, bye." "Bye" "Bye" "Hello, Eric?" "Yes, who's speaking?" "I'm Josephine Wong." "How are you?" "Josephine?" "What's up?" "I just want to ask for a small favor." "What's that?" "I know it's kinda pointless to inform you this early." "Yet I'd like to keep you posted." "Okay" "A criminal, Becky Lee will serve her term at your site." "I'd like you to instruct your colleagues to take care of her." "We don't have any relationship." "You don't have to give her any privileges." "What I mean is if someone bullies her seriously, please help and protect her." "Okay, I know what I should do." "Thanks, Eric, let's play tennis sometime?" "Sure" "Okay, see you later." "Bye" "Joey?" "Mama, is there anything... you called me?" "I just wanna hear your voice." "Wanna hear my voice?" "Mama, are you okay?" "I miss you." "In class?" "No, I just finished class." "Are you coming back for dinner tonight?" "Yes, what about you?" "Me too." "What do you wanna eat?" "Anything, take out again?" "Or do you want me to cook?" "Yes, you haven't cooked for me in a long time." "I need to go to the market." "Miss, what do you want?" "I want crabs, black beans, crabs." "Good and what's next?" "Let me think about it." "Sincere gratitude to the people who have contributed valuable ideas to the creation of this movie"
