0:00:08 > 0:00:11It is another boy who killed the African. It is not me.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26Their campaign is due to start after Li Jun's case,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29but what I can do is run their campaign before his case
0:02:29 > 0:02:31and that will paralyse any attempt by Guan Peng
0:02:31 > 0:02:33to subvert our evidence.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36We're doing OK.

0:11:51 > 0:11:54I don't understand why she's looking so worried.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Because the opportunity to visit is only given before the execution.

0:16:38 > 0:16:40And that's why I'm here.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Why here?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45To see what you can do.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47What I can do?
0:16:48 > 0:16:53I've been told that you'd got into an argument with the man who died
0:16:53 > 0:16:56and that your father and your uncle fixed it
0:16:56 > 0:16:58so that my brother was to be blamed for...
0:17:08 > 0:17:12He can't be executed for something he didn't commit.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It can't happen. It can't be allowed.

0:17:40 > 0:17:42About my brother...
0:17:42 > 0:17:46Well, it is usual to pay the family to stop the case going to court.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50But the Nigerian government wanted someone convicted.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53I know, but if you were in my brother's situation,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56or my situation, what would you want to happen?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57I will ask my father.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- Ask your father? - Yeah, I will talk to him.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02You'll ask him about my brother?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Sure.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Come and have some breakfast.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09What will your father say?

0:18:32 > 0:18:33Sure.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37How, if his appeal has already been rejected?
0:18:38 > 0:18:43Well, there is always something to be done, even at the last minute.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34What will you say to your father?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39I'll tell him that I have met this beautiful girl from London
0:20:39 > 0:20:41and she is the sister of Li Jun.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45And this girl is going to be my friend so,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47you know, we have to do something.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49That's it.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50And he will?
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Of course. What I tell him, he does.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Ah, swimming costumes. In case you want to swim later.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04How cool that you come to my door!
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Does she live here?
0:22:02 > 0:22:03Who?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05The girl in your pool.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Ah, no. She lives in New York.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12She's just staying for a few days.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Is she your girlfriend?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18No, I don't have a girlfriend.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20She's my sister.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Oh.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26Older, or...
0:22:27 > 0:22:28One year older.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Was that allowed? With the one child policy?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I don't know. Who cares?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Do you know the Midnight Cat?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Midnight Cat?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Yeah. The best club in Guangzhou. You don't know it?- No.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Well, come tonight. Be my guest.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I will show you how you can really have a good time here.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Do you want to come home with me?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08I would love to,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11but it won't feel right until my brother's free.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Then we can do whatever we want together.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46KNOCK ON DOOR
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Come right through.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28I am very touched and moved by your concern for your brother.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33And I have great respect for your honouring of your family.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36For my brother I would do the same.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41That's very kind of you. And I'm very grateful to you.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43So I am offering you a solution.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48It is possible that there has been a mix-up
0:26:48 > 0:26:51in the identity of the man who killed the African.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Yes.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56The Chief of Police has also agreed it is possible.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01We must ensure that we send only the guilty into the execution chamber.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Yes, sir.
0:27:03 > 0:27:09The witnesses, in particular the Africans, are not reliable.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12It is easy for them to mistake one Chinese boy for another.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17The waiter, Huang Tao.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20He looks very much like your brother.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22Huang Tao from the club?
0:27:22 > 0:27:25It is easy for the Africans to make this mistake -
0:27:25 > 0:27:27to mix them up.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29My brother's friend?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I have suggested this to the Chief of Police.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33He is in agreement
0:27:33 > 0:27:37about how the witnesses may realise an error in their identification.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Is there some other way, some...
0:27:46 > 0:27:48It is all in the hands of the Chief of Police.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Let us give him the opportunity to do his work.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Do I call him?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Can I... Can I think about it?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I will give you 30 minutes.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18If you do not come back to me by 11 o'clock,

0:31:31 > 0:31:34I don't understand. Which judge talked to you, Ajun?
0:31:34 > 0:31:38The judge from the Supreme Court. It is Beijing.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40He talked to me.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Yes, we can do that.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44We'll do that.

0:31:52 > 0:31:58Yes, but he said she was in prison for corruption.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00He said they are bad people.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- Who are bad people? Chang Hua?- Yes.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08He said there is too much corruption in the provinces
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- and it has to be stopped. - But didn't you tell him
0:32:11 > 0:32:14it's Guan Peng and his family who are corrupt, not Chang Hua?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16He didn't believe me.
0:32:17 > 0:32:22He said he saw the evidence at the first trial and my confession...
0:32:23 > 0:32:27But the Chief of Police, he forced me to confess.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Please don't let them kill me.

0:49:44 > 0:49:46Who else has been released?
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Only me.
0:49:48 > 0:49:50I didn't mean to accuse you.
0:49:50 > 0:49:53No, it's OK. It's complicated here.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55When your mother first told me about you,
0:49:55 > 0:49:58I thought yes, something is possible!
0:49:58 > 0:50:01I was hoping that you would have connections
0:50:01 > 0:50:05that would help and save Ajun, I was prepared to try anything.
0:50:07 > 0:50:09But you're right.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12We had other reasons as well to try and save him.
0:50:12 > 0:50:16We were wanting to use his case as an example.
0:50:16 > 0:50:20Not use him, but we thought, if we could win this one...
0:50:21 > 0:50:24..two of the most powerful men in the city
0:50:24 > 0:50:26would be exposed and brought down.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29The effect of that would have gone all the way through the system.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34We got our calculation wrong.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37We had too much hope.
0:50:41 > 0:50:43I'm so sorry.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31HE SPEAKS MANDARIN
0:53:34 > 0:53:37I can't go home and leave you here.
0:53:51 > 0:53:53I promised him.
0:55:23 > 0:55:26All I wanted to know is that she loved me.
0:55:26 > 0:55:29And she does love you. She always has.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31Yes.
0:55:31 > 0:55:33Thank you. Thank you.
0:56:18 > 0:56:21- They have finally released Chang Hua.- They have?
0:56:21 > 0:56:24- Yes, but they have taken away her lawyer's licence.- For how long?
0:56:24 > 0:56:26I don't think she'll get it back.
0:56:26 > 0:56:28Do I tell the New York Times?
0:56:28 > 0:56:31Yes, she wants that, she has nothing to lose now.
0:56:31 > 0:56:34So, what will she do?
0:56:34 > 0:56:38We'll campaign for her and an international campaign will help.
0:56:38 > 0:56:39I'll do what I can.
0:56:39 > 0:56:41I saw your mother last week.
0:56:41 > 0:56:42How is she?
0:56:42 > 0:56:46I'm wanting to send her a few things but I'm worried she won't get them.
0:56:46 > 0:56:48Just little things, you know?
0:56:48 > 0:56:50- Well, send them to me.- Can I?
0:56:50 > 0:56:53Sure! You can always send things to her through me.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55That'd be great, thank you.
0:56:55 > 0:56:57Thank you.
