This programme contains some strong language and scenes which some viewers may find upsetting

0:00:020:00:08

It is another boy who killed the African. It is not me.

0:00:080:00:11

This is Xiaopeng, the real killer. And this is his father, Guang Peng.

0:00:110:00:14

These are the two men who have framed your brother.

0:00:140:00:17

You will need to change the evidence of all the witnesses.

0:00:170:00:20

All the Africans and everyone working in the club now support you.

0:00:200:00:25

The judges will have no choice but to accept the new statements.

0:00:250:00:29

This is making me happy.

0:00:320:00:33

It's making me at peace with my god.

0:00:330:00:35

The boy deserves the truth.

0:00:350:00:37

Everyone deserves the truth.

0:00:370:00:39

She's discovering something huge in her life,

0:00:390:00:42

something that will sweep her away from us.

0:00:420:00:44

The moment she came home and mentioned her birth mother,

0:00:440:00:47

I just saw this whole scenario.

0:00:470:00:50

It looks very positive.

0:00:540:00:55

I will be free?

0:00:550:00:57

Is it really true?

0:00:570:00:59

Members of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection

0:01:520:01:55

are coming from Beijing to open the government's anti-corruption

0:01:550:01:59

campaign here on the 31st.

0:01:590:02:01

This is a request for the newspaper I work for to publicise the event.

0:02:010:02:05

It says that we, all citizens, all officials,

0:02:050:02:08

will be given the opportunity to report anyone

0:02:080:02:11

attempting to engage in unlawful activities,

0:02:110:02:14

harming the correct administration of justice,

0:02:140:02:17

or the image of the People's Courts.

0:02:170:02:19

-This is good timing.

-It is perfect timing.

0:02:190:02:22

Their campaign is due to start after Li Jun's case,

0:02:220:02:26

but what I can do is run their campaign before his case

0:02:260:02:29

and that will paralyse any attempt by Guan Peng

0:02:290:02:31

to subvert our evidence.

0:02:310:02:33

We're doing OK.

0:02:340:02:36

Mei, I believe we can free your brother

0:02:390:02:43

but there may be consequences for me and my colleagues,

0:02:430:02:46

so could you do something for us?

0:02:460:02:49

I have a contact at the New York Times

0:02:500:02:52

who is ready to tell our story.

0:02:520:02:54

As a British and American citizen,

0:02:540:02:56

your unique situation can give her the angle she needs.

0:02:560:02:59

If she calls you, would you help her?

0:02:590:03:02

It will bring us support and put our movement on the map

0:03:020:03:05

in Europe and America.

0:03:050:03:07

Would you do that for us?

0:03:070:03:09

-Yes.

-Thank you.

0:03:090:03:11

'In the case of Li Jun,

0:03:150:03:16

'the nightclub waiter sentenced to death for killing a Nigerian trader,

0:03:160:03:20

'11 witnesses have changed their evidence,

0:03:200:03:23

'claiming that they were coerced into giving the original statements

0:03:230:03:27

'under the orders of a senior provincial official.

0:03:270:03:30

'In response, the Party Central Committee in Beijing

0:03:300:03:33

'has sent out a stern warning to the citizens

0:03:330:03:35

'and officials of Guangdong Province.

0:03:350:03:37

'Any citizen or officer of the law attempting to corrupt the courts

0:03:400:03:44

'will be arrested and will face a sentence of life imprisonment.'

0:03:440:03:48

Guan Xin is only a provincial boss.

0:03:510:03:53

With Beijing breathing down his neck, he is nothing!

0:03:530:03:56

We have him beat!

0:03:560:03:58

Look, the kiosk is almost finished. When will she hear?

0:04:000:04:05

SHE SPEAKS IN MANDARIN

0:04:050:04:07

She just wants Ajun to come home.

0:04:250:04:27

SHE SCREAMS

0:08:450:08:48

Did you know this wouldn't work?

0:09:010:09:03

Your friend asked me about publicising your group

0:09:030:09:06

to the New York Times if things didn't work out.

0:09:060:09:08

Have you been using me?

0:09:080:09:10

Did you get me here to help your cause or to help my brother?!

0:09:100:09:14

THUNDER RUMBLES

0:09:510:09:55

Mr Lin!

0:10:460:10:47

I thought we can't visit now.

0:11:220:11:24

I don't understand.

0:11:340:11:36

I don't understand why she's looking so worried.

0:11:510:11:54

Because the opportunity to visit is only given before the execution.

0:11:540:11:58

That is why she is so upset.

0:11:580:12:00

So, when is this visit?

0:12:030:12:05

SHE SPEAKS MANDARIN

0:12:050:12:08

Tuesday. This Tuesday.

0:12:140:12:16

SOBBING

0:12:260:12:31

SHE SPEAKS MANDARIN

0:14:560:14:58

Good morning.

0:15:310:15:33

The maid told me a girl is waiting for me.

0:15:410:15:44

From England.

0:15:450:15:46

-London?

-Yes.

0:15:480:15:50

Tea or coffee?

0:15:520:15:53

No, thank you.

0:15:530:15:55

Juice?

0:15:550:15:57

I'm OK, thank you.

0:15:570:15:59

Please sit down.

0:16:010:16:03

Do I know you?

0:16:140:16:15

I am Li Jun's sister.

0:16:160:16:18

The boy accused of killing the African at Space Nightclub.

0:16:180:16:22

I was adopted as a baby.

0:16:220:16:24

Li Jun's mother...our mother,

0:16:240:16:27

called me in England to say that he was in prison here.

0:16:270:16:30

The court has rejected his appeal and now he is going to be executed.

0:16:320:16:38

And that's why I'm here.

0:16:380:16:40

Why here?

0:16:420:16:43

To see what you can do.

0:16:430:16:45

What I can do?

0:16:450:16:47

I've been told that you'd got into an argument with the man who died

0:16:480:16:53

and that your father and your uncle fixed it

0:16:530:16:56

so that my brother was to be blamed for...

0:16:560:16:58

He can't be executed for something he didn't commit.

0:17:080:17:12

It can't happen. It can't be allowed.

0:17:120:17:15

The case against him has to be dropped.

0:17:150:17:17

What do you do in London?

0:17:180:17:20

I'm a student.

0:17:220:17:23

Where do you live? Chelsea?

0:17:230:17:25

Park Lane? Kensington?

0:17:250:17:28

Finsbury.

0:17:280:17:30

It's, um...

0:17:300:17:31

It's just a district.

0:17:320:17:34

Are you married?

0:17:350:17:37

No.

0:17:370:17:38

About my brother...

0:17:400:17:42

Well, it is usual to pay the family to stop the case going to court.

0:17:420:17:46

But the Nigerian government wanted someone convicted.

0:17:460:17:50

I know, but if you were in my brother's situation,

0:17:500:17:53

or my situation, what would you want to happen?

0:17:530:17:56

I will ask my father.

0:17:560:17:57

-Ask your father?

-Yeah, I will talk to him.

0:17:570:18:00

You'll ask him about my brother?

0:18:000:18:02

Sure.

0:18:020:18:04

Come and have some breakfast.

0:18:060:18:07

What will your father say?

0:18:070:18:09

Come inside. Keep me company.

0:18:090:18:11

HE SPEAKS MANDARIN

0:18:170:18:20

Would you mind? I always swim before breakfast.

0:18:210:18:25

No, you carry on.

0:18:250:18:27

So, you'll ask your father to arrange my brother's freedom?

0:18:280:18:32

Sure.

0:18:320:18:33

How, if his appeal has already been rejected?

0:18:330:18:37

Well, there is always something to be done, even at the last minute.

0:18:380:18:43

Did she bring the right tea?

0:19:510:19:53

Yes, it's lovely. Thank you.

0:19:530:19:55

The water's perfect.

0:19:560:19:58

A swim in the morning - everyone should do it.

0:19:580:20:00

At the moment I am in international business in Hong Kong,

0:20:020:20:05

but I want to do this in London now.

0:20:050:20:07

Hong Kong's so boring.

0:20:070:20:09

I've never been there.

0:20:090:20:11

It's so, so boring.

0:20:110:20:12

My father is buying a house in Knightsbridge.

0:20:120:20:16

Maybe I shall live there.

0:20:160:20:18

We can be good friends.

0:20:190:20:21

We can go to the clubs together.

0:20:230:20:25

-What will you ask him?

-What?

0:20:280:20:31

What will you say to your father?

0:20:320:20:34

I'll tell him that I have met this beautiful girl from London

0:20:350:20:39

and she is the sister of Li Jun.

0:20:390:20:41

And this girl is going to be my friend so,

0:20:410:20:45

you know, we have to do something.

0:20:450:20:47

That's it.

0:20:470:20:49

And he will?

0:20:490:20:50

Of course. What I tell him, he does.

0:20:500:20:53

Ah, swimming costumes. In case you want to swim later.

0:20:550:20:58

How cool that you come to my door!

0:21:010:21:04

Does she live here?

0:21:590:22:00

Who?

0:22:020:22:03

The girl in your pool.

0:22:030:22:05

Ah, no. She lives in New York.

0:22:070:22:10

She's just staying for a few days.

0:22:100:22:12

Is she your girlfriend?

0:22:140:22:16

No, I don't have a girlfriend.

0:22:160:22:18

She's my sister.

0:22:190:22:20

Oh.

0:22:220:22:23

Older, or...

0:22:250:22:26

One year older.

0:22:270:22:28

Was that allowed? With the one child policy?

0:22:300:22:33

I don't know. Who cares?

0:22:330:22:35

Do you know the Midnight Cat?

0:22:460:22:49

Midnight Cat?

0:22:500:22:52

-Yeah. The best club in Guangzhou. You don't know it?

-No.

0:22:520:22:56

Well, come tonight. Be my guest.

0:22:570:22:59

I will show you how you can really have a good time here.

0:23:010:23:04

Do you want to come home with me?

0:24:050:24:07

I would love to,

0:24:070:24:08

but it won't feel right until my brother's free.

0:24:080:24:11

Then we can do whatever we want together.

0:24:130:24:15

OK.

0:24:230:24:24

PHONE BEEPS

0:24:420:24:44

My name's Li Mei. I have an appointment with Mr Guan Peng.

0:25:350:25:40

Just a moment.

0:25:400:25:42

KNOCK ON DOOR

0:25:430:25:46

Come right through.

0:25:500:25:52

I am very touched and moved by your concern for your brother.

0:26:240:26:28

And I have great respect for your honouring of your family.

0:26:290:26:33

For my brother I would do the same.

0:26:340:26:36

That's very kind of you. And I'm very grateful to you.

0:26:370:26:41

So I am offering you a solution.

0:26:410:26:43

It is possible that there has been a mix-up

0:26:450:26:48

in the identity of the man who killed the African.

0:26:480:26:51

Yes.

0:26:510:26:52

The Chief of Police has also agreed it is possible.

0:26:520:26:56

We must ensure that we send only the guilty into the execution chamber.

0:26:560:27:01

Yes, sir.

0:27:010:27:03

The witnesses, in particular the Africans, are not reliable.

0:27:030:27:09

It is easy for them to mistake one Chinese boy for another.

0:27:090:27:12

The waiter, Huang Tao.

0:27:140:27:17

He looks very much like your brother.

0:27:170:27:20

Huang Tao from the club?

0:27:210:27:22

It is easy for the Africans to make this mistake -

0:27:220:27:25

to mix them up.

0:27:250:27:27

My brother's friend?

0:27:270:27:29

I have suggested this to the Chief of Police.

0:27:290:27:32

He is in agreement

0:27:320:27:33

about how the witnesses may realise an error in their identification.

0:27:330:27:37

Is there some other way, some...

0:27:440:27:46

It is all in the hands of the Chief of Police.

0:27:460:27:48

Let us give him the opportunity to do his work.

0:27:480:27:51

Do I call him?

0:27:540:27:56

Can I... Can I think about it?

0:28:050:28:07

I will give you 30 minutes.

0:28:130:28:15

If you do not come back to me by 11 o'clock,

0:28:150:28:18

I will not be here for you.

0:28:180:28:20

ESCALATOR MOVEMENT BECOMES A LOUD, RHYTHMIC PULSE

0:29:080:29:12

-Hey!

-Hey.

BEEPING NOISE, THEN DOOR OPENS

0:30:260:30:30

GUARD SHOUTS

0:31:100:31:12

Can you petition the judge?

0:31:190:31:21

-Which judge?

-The judge who talked to me.

0:31:260:31:28

I don't understand. Which judge talked to you, Ajun?

0:31:310:31:34

The judge from the Supreme Court. It is Beijing.

0:31:340:31:38

He talked to me.

0:31:380:31:40

Yes, we can do that.

0:31:400:31:43

We'll do that.

0:31:430:31:44

He asked me if I have a lawyer.

0:31:460:31:48

I said yes, she is...

0:31:480:31:50

-She is...

-Chang Hua.

0:31:500:31:52

Yes, but he said she was in prison for corruption.

0:31:520:31:58

He said they are bad people.

0:31:580:32:00

-Who are bad people? Chang Hua?

-Yes.

0:32:010:32:05

He said there is too much corruption in the provinces

0:32:050:32:08

-and it has to be stopped.

-But didn't you tell him

0:32:080:32:11

it's Guan Peng and his family who are corrupt, not Chang Hua?

0:32:110:32:14

He didn't believe me.

0:32:140:32:16

He said he saw the evidence at the first trial and my confession...

0:32:170:32:22

But the Chief of Police, he forced me to confess.

0:32:230:32:27

Please don't let them kill me.

0:32:310:32:33

I don't want to say goodbye.

0:32:350:32:37

GUARD SHOUTS

0:32:590:33:01

We'll petition the judge!

0:33:080:33:10

Mei!

0:33:440:33:45

I can't see you right now. I told you not to come here.

0:33:470:33:50

I have to go.

0:33:500:33:51

You stay here and talk to us.

0:33:510:33:53

I have a taxi waiting.

0:33:530:33:55

It's just to stay and talk, OK?

0:33:550:33:57

-I have to go to Beijing.

-You can't!

0:33:570:33:59

You don't understand the trouble you're in.

0:33:590:34:01

Trouble I'm in? I couldn't give a fuck!

0:34:010:34:04

Mr Anderson has said your friends have been arrested,

0:34:060:34:09

all of them.

0:34:090:34:10

And he said the Chinese authorities will come for you

0:34:100:34:13

if you do not leave the country!

0:34:130:34:15

I don't care what Anderson says. I'll miss my train!

0:34:150:34:17

I want to know why you're going to Beijing.

0:34:170:34:20

I'm trying to save my brother's life!

0:34:200:34:22

Mei! Mei!

QUEUING PEOPLE SHOUT IN ANGER

0:35:470:35:51

I speak a little English.

0:37:340:37:36

Thank you.

0:37:360:37:37

SHE SHOUTS AND HER CALMS HER

0:38:020:38:05

Your mother is asking my father to save her son,

0:38:050:38:09

but my father just writes petitions

0:38:090:38:11

for these people to hand in at the gate.

0:38:110:38:13

He is telling her that it is a waste of time for her

0:38:130:38:16

because the petition will not be seen for months.

0:38:160:38:19

This woman has been living in the alley across the road

0:38:210:38:24

for 18 years with her petition.

0:38:240:38:26

You need a lawyer expert in death penalty reviews.

0:38:300:38:33

They are in the smart part of the city.

0:38:330:38:35

He is only a lawyer for the poor people.

0:38:350:38:37

Does he know the name of any of these lawyers?

0:38:370:38:40

He's giving your mother an address of someone that can help you.

0:38:400:38:43

Ask him for the number and I'll call the lawyer now.

Hello.

-Hello.

-Nice to meet you.

Mei.

0:46:490:46:51

Sit down, please.

0:46:510:46:53

These are all the documents for Ajun's case.

0:47:010:47:04

I have called the court in Guangzhou.

0:47:080:47:11

They executed your brother this morning.

0:47:120:47:15

I will tell your mother now.

SHE SCREAMS AND WAILS

0:47:420:47:47

PHONE BEEPS

0:48:500:48:53

Who else has been released?

0:49:440:49:46

Only me.

0:49:460:49:48

I didn't mean to accuse you.

0:49:480:49:50

No, it's OK. It's complicated here.

0:49:500:49:53

When your mother first told me about you,

0:49:530:49:55

I thought yes, something is possible!

0:49:550:49:58

I was hoping that you would have connections

0:49:580:50:01

that would help and save Ajun, I was prepared to try anything.

0:50:010:50:05

But you're right.

0:50:070:50:09

We had other reasons as well to try and save him.

0:50:090:50:12

We were wanting to use his case as an example.

0:50:120:50:16

Not use him, but we thought, if we could win this one...

0:50:160:50:20

..two of the most powerful men in the city

0:50:210:50:24

would be exposed and brought down.

0:50:240:50:26

The effect of that would have gone all the way through the system.

0:50:260:50:29

We got our calculation wrong.

0:50:320:50:34

We had too much hope.

0:50:350:50:37

I'm so sorry.

0:50:410:50:43

HE SPEAKS MANDARIN

0:51:280:51:31

I can't go home and leave you here.

0:53:340:53:37

I promised him.

0:53:510:53:53

All I wanted to know is that she loved me.

0:55:230:55:26

And she does love you. She always has.

0:55:260:55:29

Yes.

0:55:290:55:31

Thank you. Thank you.

0:55:310:55:33

-They have finally released Chang Hua.

-They have?

0:56:180:56:21

-Yes, but they have taken away her lawyer's licence.

-For how long?

0:56:210:56:24

I don't think she'll get it back.

0:56:240:56:26

Do I tell the New York Times?

0:56:260:56:28

Yes, she wants that, she has nothing to lose now.

0:56:280:56:31

So, what will she do?

0:56:310:56:34

We'll campaign for her and an international campaign will help.

0:56:340:56:38

I'll do what I can.

0:56:380:56:39

I saw your mother last week.

0:56:390:56:41

How is she?

0:56:410:56:42

I'm wanting to send her a few things but I'm worried she won't get them.

0:56:420:56:46

Just little things, you know?

0:56:460:56:48

-Well, send them to me.

-Can I?

0:56:480:56:50

Sure! You can always send things to her through me.

0:56:500:56:53

That'd be great, thank you.

0:56:530:56:55

Thank you.
