When I arrived, Chief Chan had
already stripped off his shirt
...to show off his tattoo
He bragged about fighting 10 men
at once in his youth
He even wanted to take off his pants!
I stopped him, of course
But it got worse, he started trashing the room
In the end...
the faculty dinner turned into a strip show...
then a drunken orgy
Orgy? Just my thing!
Your thing?
I was trapped there all night!
I wouldn't mind
Marco, continue
My drink is empty
I need a refill
Leaving us hanging?
Look who's talking
...as usual
Pastor Tol
Call me Marco
You are...?
Paul
Michelle
Pastor Tol
I'm her husband
Pleased to meet you, cheers
Sorry, Michelle doesn't drink
No problem
Did you know...
we both graduated from Princeton?
I was just ordained
and I'm back to preach in Hong Kong
Luckily, Michelle agreed to come back with me
I'd be lost without her
Which church do you preach in now?
I haven't been to church in ages
Really?
Come to our congregation...
meet our child
You have a child?
Mira is almost one now
Congratulations
Excuse me, I need more wine
Let's just leave him be
I want you to be happy
Please enter
I know I should forgive him, but...
Think of God's grace
Paul
- Hello, Mr. Cheung
- Hello
How do you do?
Slide to the corner
here...
and then slowly...
- We almost did it!
- Let's try again
That's okay, from this side...
Marco
Sorry to interrupt
but I have a piano recital at 8:30
Come and offer some pointers?
Kids...
we're stuck in the maze now
Let's play next time?
I don't know much about music
I couldn't tell if you made a mistake
I need to practice, I'm a little nervous
Perhaps you and Michelle can catch up?
It's been so long since you last saw each other
At least four...
five years
I've been too busy to keep track
Michelle can accompany you
I have wine for that
It's alright
She can tell you... all about Mira
I prefer to practice alone
You two catch up, I'll call you...
when the recital starts
See you
He's a good husband
Thanks
I met him in Boston
He's patient
He taught me to read the bible...
pray and live a spiritual life
Amen
You must be hungry, let's go eat
Where's your table?
Pastor Tol
What should I say about the incident?
I've always imagined if we...
Perhaps it's better left unsaid
Just pretend we're old friends...
catching up?
How have you been?
Good, I'm a wife and a mother now
And you? What have you been doing?
Just returned from Yunnan, I'm flying to Xi'an next
I fly back and forth
But you seem...
Old, tanned and ragged
That's what it's like doing business in China
Golfing with bosses, dining with officials...
smoking and drinking before closing a deal
It's hard to imagine a pastor doing business
You'll soon get used to Marco the businessman
You should at least go to church
I haven't touched the Bible in 4 years
My main concern is safety
The audience must be asking the same question
Are expired dr*gs safe to use?
Before 1979
drug companies didn't need
to set an expiration date
In the same year,
to protect consumers in the US...
regulations were introduced, requiring all drug
products to list the expiration date
Pharmaceutical manufacturers worldwide
naturally followed FDA guidelines
But the new regulations
presented a big problem for the US Army
In 1979, all expired dr*gs in its inventory...
were to be destroyed and replaced
For the post-Vietnam-w*r US army...
it would take a huge financial toll
So they conducted a study...
to find out how long it takes
for dr*gs to lose their potency
Ms. Cheung, take a guess?
Are you suggesting the pharmaceutical
industry misled the public?
This is a systemic problem that was inherited
If dr*gs don't really expire
people no longer need to discard old dr*gs
How can County of Fellowship
carry out its mission?
Water
Among all the hideous men...
he's handsome, isn't he?
Huh?
Forget it
Have you figured out your bus route to work?
Not yet, I just take the MTR and a mini-bus
Just don't be late
Okay
So COF is asking people to donate...
dr*gs that don't expire
The purpose of charity...
is to give what you can spare...
to those in need
At COF, we have no reason to refuse...
dr*gs that have not yet expired
Thanks for watching today's program
Thanks to our guest, COF President...
Pastor Marco Tol
Join me again tomorrow at 9 pm
for "All Sides of News"
Thanks for the interview
You're welcome
It's hard to get you here
It took us a long time
Thank you anyway
I should listen to you preach next time I'm free
Are you Christian?
No, but I'm interested
Do you need referrals to join a church?
Not at all
Many followers like to window-shop
We see new faces every week
Just come
by sometime
Our church is small but welcoming
Thank you
Listen, I happen to know Tung Kin Hospital...
She did a hair flip
- Keep in touch...
- Thank you, bye
Another one down
Where's Mr. Tol's water?
You drank it
Get another one!
Go find the nearest vending machine!
Sorry
You can still make the meeting
with the Hospital Authority
Who's going with me? You?
Where's my water?
Corning
Jenny, cancel my dinner plans for tonight
Jonathan is going with you
He's at the coffee shop now
I'll join you at the meeting after
Leave my card with Ira Cheung
Okay
Why bother?
Can I ask a stupid question?
Go ahead
Why do you address Pastor Tol as Mr. Tol?
A loving, forgiving pastor
who quotes from the Gospel of Matthew...
can't run such a big NGO
The roles are conflicting
That's why at the company
he's Mr. Tol, understand?
Susanna, I'm your pastor, of course I'll help you
But you must tell the truth...
- ...before God
- I know
I spent time in Thailand last month...
but not with my husband
How complicated
You know God doesn't approve
But I believe...
God chose him for me
Susanna
Pastors can sign wedding certificates
But they can't sign divorce papers
Why don't you...
give Ken a second chance?
Ask him to come here with you
No!
Why not?
The other man is Ryan
Which Ryan...
Our youth leader, Ryan?
Marco, given our relationship
you being the last to find out...
must be disappointing
I know the church doesn't approve
But I just hoped you...
would understand
Heavenly Father
You teach us to wear the crown of thorns...
not give into carnal temptation
because the flesh is weak
Pastor Tol
The service is starting; there's a change
Give me 3 minutes
Okay
May your light shine on Susanna
Good morning
Pastor Cheung
Today's answer hymn has been
changed to "So Good to Me"
What happened?
May, the vocalist has a sore throat...
she wanted an easier song
"So Good to Me"
I'll remember, thank you
Welcome, are you here with a friend?
- No
- It's fine
The service has started, take any seat you like
- Follow me
- Thank you
Today's topic is "Temptation"
The charm of temptation...
is that it's unpredictable
It can knock at our door at any time...
triggering fantasy and expectation
The first temptation mentioned in the Bible...
was the Forbidden Fruit
What's strange is that...
the fruit is never identified in the Bible
Most people just assume it's an apple
Why?
Because apples are pretty, bright red
They smell good
They're crunchy, sweet and juicy
Tell me
Who brought an apple with them today?
The sister at the back, can I borrow your apple?
- Please
- It's a small apple...
If I ate a bigger one,
I couldn't eat dinner
I'm sorry but you won't get it back
When a red apple...
suddenly appears in our life
Most of us will grab it...
smell it...
tap and listen for crispness
Then close our eyes...
and take a bite
It's really sweet
It's a pleasurable experience
But...
take another bite...
and another...
If you swallow...
the core and stem...
the apple loses its appeal
Someone might say:
Pastor Tol...
who would be stupid enough
to eat the core and stem of an apple?
But if temptation...
appears before us in another form...
such as money, power...
or carnal desire
It's not that easy to see...
the core and stem
That's why...
Hallelujah
God seems to agree with me
That's why we must nip temptation in the bud
Because humans are weak
We think we act rationally
but the truth is...
many have d*ed choking on an apple
That's why God warns us...
to avoid temptation...
lest we be tested
Michelle?
When did you start coming to this church?
I'm just visiting...
I wanted a change of scenery
The people here are less boring
It's been so long...
So much has happened
A week after you left...
Dr. Ko suddenly resigned
Everyone in the company was shocked
Oh, I didn't know
My new job keeps me busy
You should visit more often
we can go for coffee
Susanna
Ken's here
He's so sweet, he picks you up each week
Of course, we visit his parents afterwards
- Please take care of my coworker, Michelle
- Sure
Give her a tour of our church
I'm off now
- See you
- Bye
Hi Michelle, I'm Yee
You're Susanna's coworker?
No... ex-coworker
I work at COF now
COF?
Pastor Tol is the CEO!
Do you know him?
I'm just an employee
Pastor Tol!
What is it, Yee?
I want to introduce a new friend, Michelle
Welcome
You two carry on, I'll get the form
Okay
Thanks for the apple
We've...
met before but I'm not sure where
No, that's not what I was suggesting
No
Welcome to our church
But I must go, until next time?
Pastor!
I'm sorry...
I didn't know
Thank you
- Thank you... Bye
- Bye
Where's Pastor Tol?
He left
Thank you
ls everything here?
Yes, it is
But it's not my decision
It's the job of HR department,
so it's out of my control
Anyway I should be going
I hope to see you soon in the UK
Sure, it could never be a problem
The project will carry on nonetheless
Talk to you soon
- Goodbye
- Bye
Macro
Sam, please hold
Jonathan, I'll give you a recap later
Okay, let's go
$0?
What's the situation?
Sam
He talked about his big plans for the drug...
recycling project again
Here we go again
Just be careful
Marco, Patrick will join the
WHO Executive Committee
Apart from you
they're considering candidates
from the US and Thailand
But you're the frontrunner
The board is quite keen on
your drug recycling project
The Thai candidate is Mr. Penchom
If he's elected, resources
will be diverted to South Asia
American policies are too conservative
You must win
The next few weeks are crucial
Show them how capable you are,
get more international exposure
Understood, I'll update you
Always think a step ahead!
No one saw Ban Ki-moon coming before Annan retired
We Hongkongers must stick together
Marco, you never know! Bye
Bye
I'm sorry to rush you
But next week...
Can our colleague please wait outside?
Go
She's new
I saw her at my church on Sunday
You know the rules
You should brief them
Be more careful
Okay, sorry
You need to approve this
- You handle the communication
- Okay
I'll put Michelle in charge
of the hospital contacts
Why don't you speak to her first?
Pastor Tol said he saw you at church
It was my first time there, is there a problem?
Mr. Tol prefers that our staff
does not attend his church
Mr. Tol, Pastor Tol,
Mr. Tol... you get what I mean?
In this company, no one attends Mr. Tol's church
I just wanted to learn more about Mr. Tol
to learn more about my boss for work
I should have religious freedom...
Fine!
It's just a suggestion from Mr. Tol
Do whatever you wish
Just remember
I made this matter clear to you today
$0?
It's broken again?
Yes, electronic ballasts break easily
I left the repairman a message
but he hasn't replied
What if it burns out tomorrow?
Use candles if necessary
Do they still sell old school lamps with starters?
How many times has it broken down?
The second time
It's my fault; I thought...
the new models would be better
It's human nature to prefer new over old
New over old...
Susanna said your prayers gave her strength
God has chosen another person for her
Someone from here
You think it's me?
I hope not
I'm not allowed to say
Don't tell me
I understand
Mr. Chan, it's me, Pastor Cheung...
It broke down again...
a voltage issue?
Do they still make old lamps that use starters?
I prefer the old...
- Your turn
- Okay
Don't show me
...unless you don't know who it is
Do you know who it is?
Don't look! You can't let her know
Okay, sorry
Please carry on
It's for you
No,thanks
I'm not thirsty
I see
That's not how it works
You have to secretly watch over her
without her knowing
Understand?
Um...not really
- Pastor Tol!
- Yee
Are you free?
We started a new group, come say hello
It looks like fun
Hi, everyone
Hello
I'm Pastor Tol, welcome to the Church Of Truth
You're having fun, what are you playing?
"Secret Angel", care to join us?
"Secret Angel"...
I travel constantly, so there's...
little chance for someone to watch over me
This game is for you youngsters
Pastor, you get the special prize:
No one's watching over you
You just watch over someone else
No one to watch over me, how sad?
- Join us
- Alright
Pastor, you don't even know their names
Now I know
But it's a secret
Alright, carry on
Group leader, how do you watch over someone?
Alright, I'll go over it again
It could be a glass of water,
a morning greeting...
or a prayer
As long as it's appropriate
It should be a secret with a bit of surprise
I'm known for surprises
As a pastor, my job is to pray for people
Alright, carry on
Bye
The male lead was supposed to be dead
After the commercial, they said he was alive
Can you imagine how I felt?
It was like dating someone for 20 episodes
then discovering that he never loved me
I was so mad, I felt tricked!
Pastor Tol!
I'll ask him to give you a lift!
Get in...
...all of you
- Ready?
- Yes
Oh, red wine!
Can't pronounce the name
This wine is called "Coltibuono Cetamura Chianti"
It's from Italy
Pastor, you promised to treat
group leaders to dinner at your house
Have you forgotten?
I haven't forgotten
You also wanted a lesson on wine
But I've been very busy
Anyone here like red wine?
I had it once at a wedding banquet
I can't drink; I'm allergic to alcohol
What do you mean?
After half a glass, I'll experience...
dizziness, shortness of breath, a rash...
and start to babble
That means you get drunk instantly
Pastor
You car doesn't sound right, drive safely
Okay
I heard it too, please be careful
Okay, I'll get it checked tomorrow...
Michelle
I have work matters to discuss
let me give you a ride
Okay
Bye...
Where did you work before?
PBC
PBC
Dr.
I admire him, he has vision
He's just a little uptight
I heard he resigned and now...
works for the government
Susanna works at PBC too, right?
Yes, she greeted me at the church
But we aren't close
It'll get better, you're church sisters now
Do you know her well?
I'm an Honorary Pastor
I know many people
Mr. Tol, what did you wish to discuss?
If you want me to resign, just ask me directly
Resign?
Why would I want you to resign?
You want me out of your church...
No. You "advised" me not to attend your church
Listen
I have no right to bar you from any church
I just want to separate my work and personal life
Previous staffers attended my church
but accepted the company policy and stopped
I don't accept
Paul the Apostle once said:
When I was a child, I spoke as a child
I understood as a child
I thought as a child
but when I became a man,
I put away childish things
Are you saying..-
...I’m immature?
I'm saying you're direct
I'm direct, and silly
You're direct and silly
and stubborn
This car really doesn't sound right
Here!
Sorry
Bye, Pastor Tol
Thank you
Bye
Bye
Bye
What?
We only discussed work
Discuss work...
I'd love to discuss work with her too!
$0?
Why bother? Just buy a new one
Fix it
Just two more weeks before I leave
Where to?
Get your things first
To the UK
I might move there
So the chick last night is dumped!
Brother
set me up with her
Keep the wine
Don't call her "chick"
She's a decent girl
Decent?
Decent chicks...
dig roughnecks like me!
Let me share a truth
Men...
need women
And women...
also need men
It's that simple
Hmm, that's deep
You're a father of two
You're past such things
You know St. Joseph, St. John
or any...
prestigious school with a "Saint"?
Help my kids get in
Education makes a difference
Look at us
Today“.
You're moving to the UK
I'm moving to North Point
I'll do it
Which grade is your girl in? Grade 1?
Fishing will do!
Fix your car
then ask her to go fishing at night
Fishing is good
It's quiet and you can talk
Fishing, for sure
What?
You think I want to date her?
It's just a suggestion!
When was the last time you got laid?
You're about to burst!
Call me when the car is fixed
Friday night... I won't call!
When I saw you again
I sensed you were avoiding me
But a little voice told me to talk to you
Must be your husband
No
It's God
He gave me the confidence to talk it out with you
Let it go, Michelle
I'm done with your God
It happened so long ago
No need to dwell on it
What happened can't be changed
You still can't face me
You talk as if we're ex-lovers
We aren't ex-lovers
But we were once close friends...
co-workers , and fellow church members
Close friends, fellow church members...
How about boyfriend and girlfriend?
Where do we draw the line?
Good morning, Mr. Tol
Good morning
Good morning
In my view
it's too soon for a media announcement
considering how our last soft launch on TV...
failed to generate a response
I also wonder
if operations could handle...
such a grand scale project now?
It's risky at this stage
Perhaps you've heard...
the m*llitary saying:
When you hear the first cannon fire...
forget all previous strategies
and start anew
It's called "playing it by ear"
If we resort to old campaign tactics
we won't achieve anything, why?
Our opponents are too powerful
The government, drug companies;
we also need to win over the public
Why did our soft launch fail?
Because we're too polite
This is an ideological w*r!
I don't see why we should...
dump perfectly good dr*gs
I don't see why...
developed nations can't give its
surplus to the third world
COF will launch its first cannon strike this time!
Okay, let's contact the editors-in-chief...
I don't want editors-in-chief!
Worry about the media later
Our first task...
is to target the hardened drug companies
and the unresponsive Hospital Authorities
This is not a local
or an Asian campaign...
but a global campaign
Be more aggressive!
Let's all work hard
Jonathan, I'll start drafting the schedule
Don't do anything yet; let's wait
Does he think I'm just a little lamb...
willing to follow the shepherd anywhere?
You're sacrificing me just to move higher up?
After making so many enemies,
who would hire me then?
- Michelle!
- Yes?
This is your first big project!
dr*gs are essential to relief efforts
If the world gets on board
countless lives will be saved
Do you still go to the Church of Truth?
How is that related?
It's time for lunch, let's go
It's not related
It's your project now
Take the lead!
Good morning
Jenny took the day off
I'm like an orphan...
I can't even find a cr*cker
Nothing!
Thank you
Water
Thanks
Lucky for you
Next month our church is hosting...
an event called the Faith in the Dark
It's introduced by the visually impaired...
Don't mix business with pleasure
Right
Salmon always stinks after reheating
You like fish? You sound like an expert
Yes, it's less fattening
How about fishing?
I like that too, it's quiet
Mr. Tol
Have you had lunch?
Yes, thank you
I should go
Mr. Lam, how are you?
Are you here to see Mr. Tol?
Yes, we're going fishing
Join us
Fishing?
I would but I know nothing about fishing
There's nothing to know
Just drop the line in
Fish are stupid
They always take the bait
- It's easy...
- for the willing to get hooked
Exactly
Where are you going to fish?
Sai Kung
I searched around before finding this spot...
Mr. Tol
- You were talking?
- Yes
I won't stall you, I have a date
So...bye
Bye
What did you tell her?
Nothing important
What?
I told her...
about your dirty past
The robberies, thefts, assaults...
and just a little about your sexual history
I'm a pastor now!
Watch your mouth!
Why so anxious?
You want to bed the pretty girl as much as me!
You think I don't know you?
I'm warning you...
Forget it, give me the keys!
You left it open...
Close the trunk!
What about fishing?
I'm sorry to make you come back
It's alright
I'm off, Mr. Tol
Bye
We have a sh*t if the Minister agrees to come
Chairman Cheung is British
He doesn't care about local programs
He just wants to show off his British accent
Hitting the International platform means...
being more confrontational and critical
Will this upset our relationship
with the government?
So...
What's more important, helping the needy...
or keeping up a front?
Where's Yuen Yuen?
She went to a conference in Thailand
She's taking a week off after that
She put me in charge of this project
That's right, I forgot
Then you do it
Call Scott Mackenzie, the Editor-in-Chief
ls Mr. Scott Mackenzie in, please?
Yes, Mackenzie speaking
This is Michelle Chan from County of Fellowship
Oh, County of Fellowship, how may I help you?
I think we have an issue here
that might interest you
Okay, what's that about?
It's about government resistance
to a world saving project
Okay, what's the resistance?
It's the Hospital Authority
Sounds interesting
So, should we do like a debate?
A debate will be excellent,
something like... Crossfire
Sounds good
Who's gonna initiate the invitation?
Please hold
Who should issue the invitation?
They should
I think it's more official from your side
Okay, sure, let me pass it on to my secretary
Great
Nice talking to you, Michelle
Thanks, it's nice talking to you too. Bye
Bye
Good
You didn't love me?
I didn't love you
Say you never liked me
I never liked you
You liked me, you wanted to go...
to the UK with me
I never thought about being with you
What makes you so sure?
- Because...
- Because you had status, education, a house...
...and a car? You're too proud
You think you're the most eligible bachelor
and every woman wants to be Mrs. Tol?
You came into my church to find me
Your actions spoke louder than words!
You're conceited; you worship yourself!
- Not true!
- You do!
- It's you...You made me
- You were blind and...
- think you liked me!
- ...arrogant!
Mr. Lee wants to remind you
his recital starts in 30 minutes
Please take your seats
Yes, thanks
Whether I liked you
or not it doesn't matter anymore
I forgave you long ago
I no longer blame you
Come back to church
Me, Paul, Mira,
all brothers and sisters truly love you
Wait!
What did you say?
You forgive me?
For what?
I already made it clear...
Please...
We wasted too much time talking
about vague details
We need to clear the air
What did you forgive me for?
What exactly?
That incident?
Until we get to the bottom of this...
neither of us leaves
Congratulations, Marco
Once you arrive in London, you'll stay at a hotel
Remember to send me your contract
You must tie up all the loose ends...
before leaving Hong Kong
There's no turning back for unfinished business
Alright, call me when you're free
Pastor Tol
Hi, Yee
Pastor!
Your "master" is in a good mood today
Did the Secret Angel complete his mission?
He did...
A glass of water, a morning greeting and a prayer
That's all?
You're a pastor, make an effort
What kind of effort?
I was only joking
I'll go back to work
At the Missions Prayer Meeting next Wednesday
Pastor Chan, a missionary in Africa...
will share his experiences and talk about his work
Come in
You were looking for me?
Sit down, Michelle
This Bible is for you
it's a prayer edition
When I was studying in the US 20 years ago
a Taiwanese pastor gave it to me
But it's too special...
Well...
I want you to read the Bible and pray more
You want me to grow up
and "put away childish things"
I know
If you study the Bible well...
I'll finally meet my match
I can never be a match for you
Don't be so certain
It's a keepsake for you
Next week I'll...
Marco
Michelle, why don't we... continue next time?
Okay
Michelle?
- Yes?
- You're still here
I'm leaving
Let's go together?
Did something happen to Susanna?
Everyone knows...
she's getting divorced
The third party is allegedly from our church
- Really?
- Yes
Who could it be?
Could it be...
I shouldn't talk about others
You praise Pastor Tol so much and he's single
How can you not be interested in him?
You want to know?
Many of the sisters had crushes on him
He was nice to them all
But he had no interest in them
In the end, they all left the church
Maybe they got the wrong message?
Pastor Tol is kind to everyone
But it takes two hands to clap
I shouldn't say more
Luckily, he's not my type
Well, you left me here alone
Stop at the next corner, please
Waiting by the phone
Do you feel me
Now I'm just a dream
a memory
Can't you see me?
I don't understand
you say you're just a man
But I felt you hold my hand
Now I'm just a grain of sand
as the ocean washes over me
Thank you
Thank you...okay
Ten years
COF has helped...
thousands of people over the past ten years
Improving the lives of many in poverty
Many children were finally given
the opportunity to go to school
Most importantly...
many people continue to live
because of your efforts
On behalf of those who received your help...
Thank you
I'll soon go to the UK
But it doesn't mean that I'm leaving you
Because of
your selfless devotion...
and willingness to help those in need
Because of your passion...
no matter where I am or
how much time has passed...
...you will always be with me
I will never forget you
Thank you, everyone
Thank you
I haven't finished yet
Our Drug Recycling Program...
had a strong start
I hope that you continue your efforts
to expand this into a global enterprise...
from the HK headquarters, alright?
- Yes!
- Thank you, everyone
He just jets off to the UK...
leaving us behind to pick up after him
Bravo...
What's wrong with you?
Another "hair flipper"
Mr. Tol, I miss you already
I've learned so much from you
Look me up next time you're in London
I'll do that the next time I'm there
Just email me
It's a deal
Bye
Pastor Tol
Michelle
I mean, Mr. Tol
Never mind
How's the food today?
Delicious
Pastor, as a token of my appreciation...
let me treat you to dinner before you leave
No need
I'm just happy that you came today
I wanted to thank you personally
Alright
Set it up with Jenny
Mr. Tol, take a picture with us?
Certainly
Michelle, why did you have to ruin me?
Did you think Susanna and I were having an affair?
Or because I didn't take you to the UK?
Pastor Tol
Listen to yourself
You don't have an ounce of remorse!
Michelle
Now you have...
a loving husband and child
That incident is in the past
You moved on, I couldn't!
I lost everything
My life ground to a halt;
I don't know how to face myself
I don't know what to do
I just want you to help me remember what happened
No ulterior motives
l suppose...
we remember what we want
No
My memory is in fragments;
you can help fill in the gaps
Please
I remember the date was June 8
...a week before I left for London
Your job kept you busy
But you were happy that night
I remember
We were relaxed at dinner
It was the first time I had drinks with you
Remember what happened before we paid?
No, l don't
I saw a customer comment card on the table
So I said:
Miss, care to comment on tonight's dinner?
You said:
I enjoyed it
but don't know what to write
I said, just pick up the pen...
and write...
"We had a lovely evening"
We had a lovely evening...
Shall we look at the nightscape?
Try it
This wine...
this Australian wine...
any good?
Sour
You don't know the first thing
About this Australian wine...
first take a sip...
- savor before swallowing...
- I want to throw up
I want to throw up
Hold your head up
It won't come?
It won't come out
It'll pass
Michelle
Hey!
Michelle
There must be a reason...
What did I do wrong to deserve such
a horrible fate?
I kept going over the incident...
everything that happened between us
What did I do wrong?
Where did I do wrong... when... how?
In my heart...
I knew the answer
I didn't say "I love you"
I think you've got it all wrong
Let me explain...
No!
After we kissed...
Do you love me?
You asked me if I loved you
I didn't say it, I only said I liked you?
You didn't like me!
You were kind to me
because you were my secret angel!
Good morning!
Good morning
Water
Thank you
What Secret Angel?
My game partner was a man
I was kind to you because I really liked you
Mr. Tol!
Mr. Tol!
Are you alright?
It's Monday, what are you doing?
Your article is due
Waiting for Mr. Tol to show up
before getting to work?
What's wrong?
Hey, hey
Where are you?
Here's your ID card back
Please describe what happened in detail
Someone drove me to the peak last night
I was plied with alcohol...
then molested
Do you know that person?
His name is...
Pastor Marco Tol
I'll get a female officer to help you
Could you be mistaken?
How could I be mistaken?
Okay...
Miss, please come with me
- Here you go
- Thank you
Hello, Marco
Sorry to trouble you
How could this happen?
I don't know what happened
Did you say anything to the police?
I said nothing
Very good
The police just informed me...
a Miss Chan accused you of molesting her...
on Kowloon Peak on June 8
Molesting?...
ls there a mix-up?
What's your relationship with this lady?
We work together
So it's a superior-subordinate relationship,
correct?
Then you could be charged for both sexual
harassment and breach of trust
I didn't molest her
It's not what you think
I don't think anything
But I know what the prosecutor will think
Can we just settle this out of court?
I can call Michelle
Don't even try
That's obstruction of justice;
you'll go to jail for it
Let's post bail first
- Ivan, go back to work after this
- Okay
Marco and I are old friends; we need to talk
I don't know how this place survives;
it's always empty when I come
The perfect spot for lawyers to make up ideas
Marco
Lawyers don't make up ideas
What we say or do is based on the facts
Whatever you say or don't say...
we can't make that up
I'm sorry
But I really didn't molest her; I remember...
Listen to me first
Listen carefully
On the night of the incident,
you two were alone, correct?
Yes
Okay
So what did or didn't happen...
is based on your memory, correct?
Yes
Take two days to think it over...
before telling me anything, okay?
Francis, I'm a pastor
I'm compelled to tell the truth
You know how many people
are eager to cash in on you?
The press wants to sell papers
The Justice Dept. wants a high profile case
Anyone else in your company
or church who wishes you harm?
But I really didn't do it
You may think I'm naive
but if I didn't do it, I should be fine
When these things happen
people get nervous
Take two days to think it over
before telling me what happened, okay?
I developed insomnia
I couldn't face my family
I ran away to Boston
Although I knew I would pay a hefty price
I decided to take you to court
I think you know the reason
Honestly...
I really don't know
I still don't know why you
destroyed my life
Let's invite Mr. Lee to perform
Paul is performing
Someday, God will tell you the answer
I don't want God to tell me
I want you to tell me
Our reporters are still unable to contact...
Pastor Tol at his office or his church
Do you know Pastor Tol?
Pastor Tol...
a little
He often buys magazines here...
- I know him well
- Hey!
Eat something first
What kind of magazine he bought?
"Pastor Claims Alleged Kiss Was By Mutual Consent"
It's all fake, why watch it?
According to members of the Church of Truth
Pastor Tol also advised a female
church member to get divorced...
I told you not to watch it!
Those bastards,
I'll get each and every one of them
Prosecuting attorney, are you ready to proceed?
Your Honor, I'm ready
What's your relationship with Pastor Tol?
I'm a member of his congregation
That simple?
Since the beginning?
You didn't specify the timeline
We were once a couple
On a scale of one to ten,
how would you rate the relationship?
- Five
- Does "five" represent...
holding hands, kissing, caressing...
or sexual relations?
Kissing and caressing
Five years ago, we shared a consensual French kiss
But you went crazy the next day and reported me!
French kiss takes two
Did you not use your tongue?
Let me repeat what I said in court
If you remember...
I said I used my tongue to block yours
It slid into your mouth by mistake!
Alright, I remember
But a French kiss is harmless
The definition of "harm"
varies from person to person
You knew a French kiss could destroy me
That's why you lied to the judge in court
You lied to your God
As a Christian...
do you consider kissing
and caressing as premarital sex?
Not necessarily
But those acts are intended to be...
foreplay, do you agree?
Objection, your Honor, the question is irrelevant
Your Honor
Since the defendant is a member of the clergy...
held to higher moral standards
his fellow clergyman's interpretation of...
pre-marital sex is
absolutely relevant to this case
When I taught Law in university
as you may remember, I often said...
"Law is common sense"
Objection overruled; answer the question
I don't see how common sense
and a former teaching post at law school...
are directly related to this case
The entire argument doesn't hold up
The two of you...
in the front row
You two stand up!
Remove your hat in court!
How dare you play with your phone?
This is a courtroom!
Don't let me catch you again
or I'll have you thrown out!
Sit down!
Overruled; answer the question
If you use the word "intended"...
Yes, they can
For a devoted Christian or clergyman...
is premarital sex considered unacceptable?
Yes
- But...
- Your Honor
I have no further questions
Are you ready?
Complainant, are you ready to testify?
I'm ready
Do you wish to adjourn the hearing?
No
Defense, you may proceed
According to his secretary's logbook
before the accused was scheduled to leave HK...
you arranged 5 dinner dates with him, correct?
It was actually one date
It was rescheduled repeatedly...
because Pastor Tol was always busy
Don't you think the accused
was trying to reject you?
No, I don't
You don't
In that case...
Do you think that your previous boss...
Dr. Ko Wing-chi, whose wife...
Mrs. Ko, called you repeatedly
begging you to stop ruining their marriage...
because she had nothing better to do?
Quiet!
My relationship with Dr. Ko was strictly platonic
Dr. Ko liked me
but I rejected him many times
Let me borrow the prosecution's rating system
On a scale of 1 to 10
how would you rate your relationship with Dr. Ko?
Also, how would you rate...
your relationship
with the middle-aged professor...
who you had an affair with at university?
Based on the complainant's dating history,
I've come to this conclusion
The complainant is attracted to
mature, successful men
who were in positions to advance...
her academic or professional career
Putting it politely
she has a "father-complex"
Putting it bluntly
she's an "opportunist"
She used her beauty to seduce middle-aged men
Not true!
Your Honor
My client cannot continue her testimony due
to her emotional state
I request an adjournment
Objection...
Your Honor,
I think the witness uses her emotions...
to manipulate
I request that the hearing continue
Adjournment granted
Mr. Tol
Even if you replace Mr. Lee,
you'll be charged the same fee
You'll lose if you represent yourself
Let's just change our strategy?
Hey, rookie, since when do you discuss strategy?
Marco, you've seen how it works
they will continue to att*ck you
After they discredit you,
they'll convince
the judge that you're a sex maniac
If you're painted as a sex maniac
while she's a chaste virgin, you'll lose
But treating a woman like that in court...
I'm a pastor
There must be another way
The key to winning in court is "att*ck"
They'll att*ck even if you don't
l believe in justice
I'm confident that I can prove...
we kissed by mutual consent
Okay
We can leave now
Marco
I must remind you...
the court doesn't always dispense justice
Now that you've crossed paths
with this godmother-and-son...
beware
Good luck!
Sorry, Francis
Both the accused and the complainant
have confessed to intimate contact
The key issue is whether
or not the complainant consented
As a respected pastor,
the accused should know better...
it was inappropriate for him to take
a female coworker to the peak
Thus the actions of the accused
were deliberate and premeditated
As for his character references
it may represents his past history...
but not his personal conduct
I hereby find the accused Marco Tol...
guilty of molestation
and sentence him to a $20,000 fine
with criminal record
He's coming!
Pastor Tol, please comment
Pastor Tol, what is your response to the verdict?
I defended myself in good conscience;
I may have erred but I haven't sinned
I plan to appeal
Will you resign from your position?
Hey!
- What?
- Back off!
You can't hit reporters!
You asked for it!
Pastor, please comment...
Are you going to resign from the church?
Any words for your congregation?
O Lord
I was lost until...
I received Your blessing
My joy, my happiness...
only you know best
Lord, I honestly did no wrong
I have faithfully followed your guidance,
making myself worthy
Now that I've fallen into darkness
Lord, you no longer seem to care
or even hear my prayers
Once I thought: has Satan come for me?
I would rather the devil came for me
than be forsaken
Father, your wrath and punishment...
are meant for the corrupted
But I have not been corrupted
I accept the pain...
but I cannot bear the shame
O Lord
lam already an outcast in your kingdom
I never imagined what my final prayer would be
...but I know it will be my last
You should thank me
If it wasn't for me...
you wouldn't have met your husband
So...
Did you lure him by pretending to be drunk again?
I told you that I couldn't drink
No one...
gets drunk that easily
Save your acting...
for your husband
Hey!
Will you be satisfied if I start to...
babble and break out in a rash?
Will you believe me then?
Thank you Mr. Lee for your wonderful performance
His performance is over
You can leave now
Perhaps you should let me finish the story,
about that French kiss at the Peak
Otherwise, you'll never have closure
You wanted to know the whole story,
to fill the gaps of your memory
Let's see if I can help you remember
the parts you've forgotten
See if you can recognize the truth!
That evening at the peak after you kissed me...
I asked you if you loved me
Do you love me?
Did I say something wrong?
I asked you, why did you kiss me?
You just talked about your apple...
You said, I was the red apple!
Do I love you?
I see through you
You want to be Mrs. Tol
No, it never occurred to me
Starting from the day you came
to my church with an apple...
you planned everything
No! You kissed me
You're good!
You're Satan's spawn
Do you know what you're saying?
- I'm a messenger of God
- You're a pastor...
You must know where to draw the line
Seducing me like this...
makes you no better than a prost*tute
You're just a prost*tute
You kept repeating that I wanted you and...
planned everything to seduce you
...that I was the devil's spawn!
Then you told me not to stop you
from becoming the next Ban Ki-moon
To me...
- it was just a test
- I should have listened to Yee...
- I should
- You can't stop me
- believe her...
- from becoming...
She said you treated all women the same
...the next Ban Ki-moon
I belong there!
- Just a f*cking prost*tute...
- Open the door! Open the door!
Hey!
It was so unfair...
so I brought up all the bad things
that you did to other girls before me
Then you kicked me out of your car!
Please, Michelle, say no more
I was alone...
walking down the hill in high heel shoes
I was so afraid
Still, it's not as bad...
as being kissed by someone I admired
then told that I brought it onto myself...
...that I was no better than a prost*tute
Amidst the darkness,
I had a revelation from God...
"He's fooling the world...
"He's fooling the world and must be punished!"
Pastor Tol
You must have kicked yourself
for falling at the hands...
of such an ordinary person,
over just a simple a kiss
But you didn't know God was on my side!
No matter how insignificant I am...
I'm willing to carry out God's will
I'm not afraid of your power!
Because the truth is on my side
Pastor Tol, I advise you...
I advise you...
Repent now, for the end is near
If you're cast into the lake
of fire on the Judgment Day...
I will feel pity for you
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love...
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions
Can I ask you a question?
Yes
About the Judgment Day...
The Judgment Day?
The Bible says, the book of life will open
a great white throne will appear
All the dead, great and small,
will stand before the throne, awaiting trial...
God knows everything, every thought
that has ever crossed our minds!
Michelle, let's not think about it
let's just go home to Mira?
No, I want to ask...
where will you be standing on that day?
I will be wherever God has arranged for me to be
I hope you'll be by my side
l hope...
you will be...
where I can see you
I hope that day will come soon
