I have to ask you a question.

The fire.

Was it you?

I rejected you.

And you wanted to punish me.

Are you being serious, Ingrid?

Did you try to kill me?

Did you try to kill me? Did you?

I would never do that.

Mark!

Mark! Mark!

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two. Come on, Ingrid, to the bow.

One, two, slip, slip.

Woo!

Well done! Great session.

Great first time on the pads, Belinda.

Thank you.

Okay, don't forget the cool down.

You will be sore in the morning,

but it will be worth it.

You know, you're right. It's like court.

It's an adrenaline rush.

I'm so glad you finally decided to come.

I was tempted to invite Stockham.

Stockham, are you serious?

Jesus, I would pay to see that.

He drinks like what? A bottle a day,

I don't know how his liver does it.

Yeah, but he does look about 20 years older

than you as well, so...

You do know he's younger than me, right?

Oh, yeah. It just makes him look like

a distinguished barrister.

Mm-mm.

How're you getting on in?

You seemed a bit preoccupied again.

Are you coping all right?

Yeah.

Just busy. Mm-mm.

Though, obviously, I feel ridiculous saying that to you

with everything you juggle.

No, I don't juggle.

Men never juggle, do they?

Well, how is dating your way around London going then?

Underwhelming. It's all... It's just too much effort.

Oh, Ing...

You know, chambers loves a workaholic barrister,

but you need to find a way to draw a line

between barrister Ingrid and Ingrid Ingrid.

Yes, Mum. Okay.

Okay, well, I better get going.

All right. But listen,

if I get the right verdict later,

we're going out, okay?

Drinks are on me.

Deal. Okay. Okay.

John.

John!

As defence lawyers,

we do exactly the same

as prosecution does.

We tell the most convincing story possible

with the facts available to us.

Simple.

The watch is too expensive.

You add the bracelet, it's garish.

That's gonna have to go as well.

The wedding ring is good. Keep that.

Can you face me?

We definitely want you clean shaven,

not even the stubble.

Why are we doing this?

It's your first time in court,

so let me be clear...

Everything matters.

Because you only get one chance to make a first impression.

What do you want the jury to see?

Ingrid Lewis speaking.

Ingrid, it's John.

I'm sorry to call you like this,

but I didn't know what else to do.

It was you.

Please just listen to me, Ingrid.

This is really important.

I'm worried you might be in danger.

You should not be calling me.

Ingrid, we need to talk.

Can I see you...

It's strong.

He has just been waiting

until I thought I'd actually moved on.

And you're certain it was John Webster?

Yeah. Yeah, of course it was.

How did he get my number?

Just take a breath.

You can stay over at mine tonight.

No. No, it's fine.

Hey, we can nip this in the bud

before it becomes anything serious this time.

It's weird.

He's sounded really sincere,

like he really had something to tell me.

He's twisted!

He almost broke you once already.

Don't let him get to you again.

You should have gone to the police last year.

Yes? I won!

I knew it. Amazing, well done.

Is it too late for a drink tonight?

No, no. It has to be tonight.

I will be with you in 30 minutes.

Great.

It's karaoke night. Come on.

Come on.

- To that performance... - Yes.

Cheers.

And to your win today.

Hmm... I'm just glad

the jury returned a quick decision.

Well, you convinced 'em, like you usually do

because you were made for this job,

which is lucky, because your pop star ambitions

would've failed.

Harsh, Ingrid. Harsh.

And actually, it was the last thing I wanted to do

in the world, follow my father into the law.

And now here I am, married to a bloody barrister as well.

I was desperate to become a lawyer.

What?

I remember all the truth and justice nonsense

you spouted in the pupillage interview.

I think I said I wanted to fight the good fight.

I think you did.

I knew you had it in you, baby.

I knew you would be able to deal with our delightful clients.

Mmm. Hm.

Webster called me today.

Erm...

What did he say?

He said I might be in danger.

In reference to what?

I didn't give him a chance to say.

I hung up on him. Good.

Don't engage with him, Ingrid.

I felt like I'm being followed again, recently.

It's been, what, nearly a year now?

Yeah.

Talk to me.

No, we are out out tonight.

Let's get another bottle.

I'd love to, but I can't. I can't.

Angus is babysitting,

then he will expect a lie-in in the morning.

I know before you say it,

even though it's not technically babysitting

when they're your own children.

I know, I know.

Okay, well, I will get these for your victory

and for being, you know, my wise mentor.

I'm not fit to be anybody's mentor.

Oh, it is still torrential out there.

Erm, take this.

Are you sure? Yeah.

Okay, listen, come.

Let's do dinner next week and you should stay here,

because there is a fit guy by the bar.

Erm...

- Thank you, thank you. - See you tomorrow.

Yep.

Everything okay?

I forgot to mention

it's the Pathway Into Law event next week.

I want you to represent chambers

and tell the students how you made it.

Made it? Erm...

I'm not sure I'm the best representative of chambers.

Bollocks, Ingrid.

You're making a name for yourself as a killer advocate

who can work miracles for her clients.

So I am telling you as your wise mentor to do it.

I thought you just said you weren't fit

to mentor anyone on anything.

It's an order.

All right.

Thanks for coming.

Quiet, please.

Erm...

I'm afraid I have some horrible news.

Belinda was hit by a taxi on her way home last night.

Erm...

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

I'll be the main point of liaison for any updates.

You all right?

Look, I'm sorry to even have to ask this,

but Belinda was due at a client conference this afternoon.

Under circumstances, the judge has granted a...

I can do it. Oh, thank you.

I'll email you all the details.

Tom...

Did Angus...

Did Angus say if Belinda had an umbrella with her

when it happened?

Umbrella? No.

Why do you ask?

Just trying to wrap my head around it, I don't...

I'll be ready with this.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

It's green.

It's on green.

What if it wasn't an accident?

Why would you think that?

What if someone pushed Belinda, thinking it was me?

She had my umbrella.

It was raining, it was dark.

From behind, would be easy to mistake us.

Do you have a reason to think that

someone may want to harm you?

There is a former client of mine.

His name is John Webster.

I believe he still may hold a grudge against me.

Did you lose his case?

No, I won.

This is your chance to show the jury that John Webster

is not the man they're making you out to be.

Just tell the truth.

Speak from your experiences.

I'm lucky.

To have you on my side.

He... became obsessed with me afterwards.

He... harassed me.

He was stalking me.

And you reported this to the police?

No.

I dealt with him.

And I hadn't heard from him for a year,

but then yesterday he called me.

What exactly did he say?

He said I might be in danger.

Is there anything specific

that you believe might link

Mr Webster to Belinda's death?

Other than the timing of his call?

No.

If I could see some CCTV footage,

it would really put my mind at rest.

Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

But I'd be very happy to help

if you want to formally report

your experiences with Mr Webster.

We both know how impossible it is

to prosecute harassment cases, especially historic ones.

I'm sure this must all be very distressing for you,

but unfortunately, tragic collisions like this

happen every day in London.

So do murders.

Yeah, I'm afraid I can't share anymore at this stage.

I'm sorry, I really have to get on.

I'll get someone to show you out.

John Webster.

Just look into where he was last night.

If you think of anything relevant,

or you feel unsafe, call us.

Ingrid.

John. Hi. Sorry I'm late.

How ridiculous of us to mix our phones up.

Sorry.

It's fine.

Thanks.

How are you?

Fine. Just been a long day in court.

I'm just relieved that's all over for me.

Well, thank you for coming to meet me with this.

Will you join me for a drink?

A friend of mine just left and we hardly touched this.

Seems like such a shame to let good stuff go to waste.

Yeah. Sure?

Yeah, I can have a quick drink.

Actually, I've got you a little something

to say thank you.

Thank you.

A friend handmade them, so...

I was just doing my job.

You're very good at it.

What do you think about it?

Cos I could never fully tell

what you thought of the whole situation.

Well, my job was to give you the best defence possible,

which I did.

But you do know that I never

ever meant to hurt Emma in any way.

Well, here's to getting the right verdict.

So what's next for Ingrid Lewis?

A very glamorous case in Basildon.

Basildon? Basildon.

Ingrid?

Hi. Hi.

Hi, sorry. This is John Webster,

one of my clients,

and this is Belinda Grey. How do you do?

Esteemed colleague.

We took each other's phones

by accident yesterday.

Will you join us for a drink, Belinda?

No, thank you.

The pupils are upstairs

with a table if you want to join us.

No, I can't. Mark's cooking, so I need to get home.

Mr Webster, I'm so glad we could help you with your case.

Thank you, Ms Lewis, for everything.

He's an interesting guy.

Mm-hm. He's self-made.

Hey, I do really want to talk. I do.

I'm just up against it right now.

Navigating life or death stakes in the world

of contract law?

Sorry that was unnecessary. I just...

I just wanted one evening

with my fiance when one of us wasn't working.

Mm.

But I'll leave you to it.

Angus, I'm sorry to come over unannounced.

I just wanted to know if there was anything

I could do to help in any way.

I'm making arrangements.

Well, there's nothing for you to do. Thanks.

I just...

I don't believe it.

How do I explain it to the children?

Do you want some... Thanks.

It's outside of all logic and reason.

Angus, are they saying it was an accident? Is that...

what the police are saying?

They're saying she stepped out into the traffic

and lost her footing.

I assume you'd both been drinking quite heavily,

as you tend to do when you go out together.

Angus... Erm...

we just had a couple of drinks

to celebrate her win.

What I'm saying is I just really want

to make sure it's being looked into

as best as it possibly can. Daddy!

Daddy!

I should get back to the children.

Okay.

Keep things ticking over at chambers.

That's what would help.

Did you start the fire?

I would never do that.

Morning. I need to speak

to someone about your CCTV.

My manager's not here today. Can I help?

I'm a criminal lawyer

and I'm working on the case of the woman

who was run over by a taxi outside here.

That poor woman. It was a accident, wasn't it?

Well, that's what I'm looking into.

And it's routine for us to ask all of the businesses

in the area about their security camera footage.

Er, we gave it to the police already.

Yes, I know. But I need to verify

which camera angle is yours

so we can make sure we've got our bases covered.

I'd have to check with my boss first.

I'm happy to just take a quick look.

We can't do anything without her permission.

I'll tell her to get in touch if you leave a card.

Yeah.

That would be great. If it could be as soon as possible.

Yeah. Thank you.

Thanks. Thanks for your help.

Sorry about that.

Hello? Ingrid.

It's DI Winstanley.

Something's come up we wondered

if you might be able to help us with.

Is Mr Mark Orpen your ex-fiancee?

Yes, we were engaged. Erm...

What was his relationship like

with Belinda?

Mark and Belinda were friendly

until Mark and I separated and then he moved abroad.

Sorry, how is this in any way relevant exactly?

Have you any idea why he might have

called Belinda a few hours before she died?

Sorry... Mark called Belinda?

Yeah, she received a call

from him about 1:00 pm that afternoon.

No, no, he's in Canada, so...

That's not our information.

Well, no, she never said he called.

So do you have reason to believe there's more to this now?

We are just dotting the I's.

Being thorough.

And did you find out about John Webster's whereabouts?

We'll keep you posted if anything relevant comes up.

Er, hi.

[scoffs

Hi.

I didn't recognise the cool Ingrid.

It's off-duty Ingrid.

You here by yourself?

Yeah. Mark was here, but he's got work to do.

Oh, that's a shame.

Do you wanna get a drink?

There's a secret bar.

Secret?

Strictly VIP, but I can get us in.

Really?

Yeah.

Okay. Look, what I'm saying... Yeah.

Is being a lawyer is,

you know, it's an act of service to the people

and it feels fucking great to win.

There we go.

Yeah, I just wish I did something

I felt passionate about.

You seem like you're doing all right though.

Yeah, I was just focused on being able

to make my own money.

That shallow.

You know, when we worked together...

Mm-mm.

I think you said

your mum's a cleaner.

Mm-mm.

Yeah, I didn't come from the most

privileged background myself.

You'd never know.

It's funny. People tell me that a lot,

like it's a compliment.

Yeah, me too.

So come on then, tell me how you made it

The origin story.

Okay. When I was 15,

I got the job collecting glasses at Dexter's nightclub.

Wow.

I lied and told the boss I was 18.

And by the time I was actually 18,

I'd saved up enough money to put a deposit

on a two-up two-down.

Rented it out, remortgaged it, bought a second property.

And that's how I can now afford overpriced cashmere hoodies

and top-rate barristers.

I'm impressed.

Oh, I'm impressed by everything you've achieved.

Really.

Do you ever wear the cufflinks?

Yeah, I do.

Doors closing.

Ingrid?

Sorry, I did try and phone.

Well, we changed the number.

Mark thought that was sensible.

Could I come in?

Yeah. Thanks.

So is Mark back in England?

He hadn't told you?

No.

So is he staying here?

Yes, but he's away this week.

Look, I'm sorry. I know it's none of my business,

but why now?

Why did he come back now?

I think he felt ready to come home.

To move on I hope,

to find a job with a new firm, you know?

So how is Mark doing?

He tells me that the house is on the market.

Yes. The insurers have finished redoing it.

So that's done.

Well, I suppose they have to do it all properly

after a fire of that scale.

I think it's a shame you couldn't have worked out a way

for one of you to keep it.

Sorry, I don't really know why I came.

This is a mistake.

Mark always says he's jealous of my insomnia

cos I get to read so many more books than he does.

Oh, that's one way of looking at it.

Yeah, except I'm not reading books.

Scrolling the Daily Mail, sidebar of shame

Ingrid... I know, I'm sorry.

Er... No.

Come on.

How did you know what I was gonna say?

Stay. I'm having fun.

I think I should go home.

Aren't you having fun?

I shouldn't really be here.

We haven't done anything wrong, have we?

No.

I haven't kissed you.

I haven't touched you.

I haven't even told you what you're missing out on.

Let me tell you.

Come on.

Okay.

I'm moving my hands over you.

Then I'm taking all your clothes off.

And every single inch of you feels my tongue.

Slowly.

Almost like a breath.

Sufficient data last week showed

the UK inflation rate has now risen above 8%.

Investors are now predicting the Bank of England

will have to raise interest rates

above the current level to over 5%

to try to slow price...

Mark...

why did you call Belinda on the day she died?

I was, erm, trying to get your phone number

to tell you that I was back.

I didn't wanna email your work

or phone you here or... Why did you come back now?

Because Canada is not my home.

Lovely as it is.

Any further questions, Your Honour?

I had no idea you were back.

Yeah, well that's why I thought it was important

that I came here in person and said hi.

Hi.

Apparently, they've made the house look nice.

Looks soulless with nothing in it.

What do I know about aesthetics?

I like your new look though.

Cool shirt.

I'm sorry to hear about Belinda.

I know how much you looked up to her.

Is there anything else you needed?

Because I do have a lot of work to do.

Well, erm, I'm sure that they'll sell the house

for a good price... and then...

then it's behind you.

Mm-hm.

Belinda could have been pushed by someone

in that crowd, right?

Who would send this? This is the police's job.

Police aren't looking into it properly.

They're treating it as an accident.

Which it probably was.

It looks like she overbalanced.

Look at this. Look at this man.

Why is this man backing away? Why is he leaving like that?

He's not doing anything illegal.

Why does he wait until everyone's attention

is on the road to leave?

Maybe he was disturbed by what he saw?

Ing, you're not worried

Webster could be involved in this, are you?

Don't know.

Who came all the way down to London for you

after everything fell apart?

Moved you around the corner when you had no one else?

Yeah, that would be you. Mm-hm.

So listen to me this time

when I say we don't want a repeat.

This is scary, Ing.

You need to tell the police about this being sent to you

and report Webster.

I know how police handle these things.

I've seen it.

They are not gonna look into this properly.

What am I supposed to do? Just...

Should I just wait around?

Excuse me?

I've gotta... Yep.

So good to see you.

Did you send me this?

Well, you wanted it, didn't you? Well...

Is it you?

Ingrid...

I sent it to show you it wasn't me.

When you called me, you were threatening me.

No, I was warning you.

Well, the timing's pretty fucking suspicious.

You are so full of shit.

Okay.

Okay.

The truth.

It's been nearly a year, Ingrid.

And I wanted to talk,

so I came to your flat a few times last week.

I've been really building myself up to it,

but I kept backing out at the last minute.

But the last time I came, I saw someone.

Who? I don't know.

They did a pretty good job of hiding their face.

But they were going through your post

and taking pictures of your flat.

So maybe you should alert the police.

I told the police about you.

And what did you tell them?

That an old friend is concerned about you?

A friend?

How'd you find out where I live?

You know, I should report everything you did to me.

I have it all documented. Every single thing.

I was in Liverpool the night Belinda died

and I can prove that. But as far as

the police are concerned,

Belinda just lost her footing in the rain.

Why are you doing this?

Because I love you.

I know you're wary of me...

but I'm the only other person

that believes Belinda's death wasn't an accident.

You're in danger, Ingrid.

I think deep down you know you need my help.

Was this you?

DI Nash, what are you doing here?

Belinda was murdered.

I found a witness.

If you are messing with me...

It sounds as though he's trying to use Belinda's death

as a way to get back into your life.

Which is exactly the MO of John Webster.

I'm being targeted by someone.
