Mike, this is Will,
my hot new pupil.

You gonna be a barrister, then?

Oh, yeah. Fingers crossed.
[ Chuckles ]

There are four of us,

and Chambers are
only gonna give us one place.

It's actually kinda scary.

The junior tenants did odds
on which of us will get tenancy.

So if Danielle is Angry Chav,
then I'm guessing I'm...

- DJ Stupid.
- This is what you wanted.

You're making a difference,
helping people in need.

Yeah, I am helping people
in need, mostly, I guess.

Hello.

To be guilty of a crime,

normally you have to do it
and also intend to do it.

Your Honour, my pupil is
acquainted with Juror Number 3.

- How so, Mr. Packham?
- There was a kiss.

Will, quick question--
How's your girlfriend?

What are we doing this for?

Justice?

Shh, shh. To win.

A barrister burns to win.

QC interviews next week.

Actually, I didn't apply.
I mean, what's silk?

I don't need my talent confirmed
by some cloak of worm spunk.

Well, this is secluded.

Feels very cloak and dagger.

It's just the only place
I could get a table.

Do you think I can be seen
from the window?

It's just, we're backlit, and
I have very recognisable hair.

It's nothing to be ashamed of,
you know.

Most QC candidates use
a consultant these days.

Perhaps
that's where you went wrong.

How do you mean "went wrong"?

I didn't apply for silk, Fiona.

According to my mate
at QC Appointments, you did.

Maybe your mate is mistaken.

He definitely saw your name
on the list.

Maybe he hallucinated.

Maybe he was reading about me,
then shifted his gaze

to the list, thus
provoking an optical illusion.

Why have you asked me here,
Caroline?

Well, as I say,
I didn't apply for QC,

but if I didapply,
I'd like to know...

why would they not want me?

Why would they think
I was bad?

Well, I can make
a few phone calls,

find out what people
are saying about you,

so you're on top of things
this time 'round.

Great.
First time 'round.

But yeah, I'll drink to that.

To new, um...

- A new start.
- Yeah, well, not a new start.

- There wasn't an old start.
- New something, though.

Well, I mean, I like "new,"
but I don't want to imply

- any previous...
- New things.

Yes, great! New things.

Ladies.
It's your new name.

It's like Ladies' Man

I shagged the juror?

No.

- Okay.

Because Deanna says you came
at her right from the start.

Nah, not true.
I was there, like.

I mean, I went 'round to hers,
yeah, but to reason it out.

She was squatting
on the father of my kids.

So you discovered
your boyfriend

was at Deanna's and went 'round?

Yeah.
But to be reasonable!

- Three cracked ribs.
- Mm.

He's always begging me,
but it's a trust thing.

broken three or four times,

it's just, you know, and...

So put me up to witness.

- I'll tell them.
- Uh, no.

No, no, no. Hetty, we're not
gonna put you in the box.

You've got a ton of previous.

And studies show juries prefer

non-aggressive, sober,
clear witnesses.

No way! No!

I mean, no.

and we'll let the jury
form their own impressions.

I think he really likes me
'cause of the juror thing.

Like, I think he thinks I'm
sort of a player or something.

Well, good.
A barrister needs a brand.

Didn't want to say it before,

but you were coming across
as a bit vanilla.

You've definitely said that before.

Don't think so.

You said that I was
like vanilla cream

mixed with vanilla custard
on a rich vanilla bun.

Okay, that does sound like me.

Well, well done.

- You've punched through.
- Thank you.

Thank you, yeah. No.

It's good.
It's good news.

Really pleased.

It's just,
I guess if I take the case,

it's a bit like I'm sort of
confirming for everyone

that I am the guy
that cheats on his girlfriend.

- You arethat guy.
- Yeah, but I don't want it

to be the first thing
that people think of

when they think... me.

Maybe I should just give Miles
a call back.

Try to give him a sense
of what I'm actually like.

And lose the case?
What's the point?

You're not being honest
with your girlfriend, are you?

Uh, yeah. When I get home
this evening,

- I'm gonna tell her everything.
- No, no, no, no.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

- You're, what, 21 years old?
- Uh, 29, but thank you.

This will not do.

You've got to start doing
what's best for the situation.

Not running around like
a wide-eyed truth puppy

shitting in his own breakfast.

Yeah, it's not actually
your place to give me advice

when it comes
to my relationships.

But thank you for your
[Clears throat]

Your perspective is valuable,
as always.

Thank you so much, Caroline.

Listen to me. I do not want
to be dragging around

some lovelorn loser
for the next eight months.

You're gonna take this work
from Miles,

and you are not gonna be honest
with your girlfriend, okay?

Ready!

Oh, yes.

You are perfect.

And at this point, you say
my client attacked you?

Yes. She just came at me
out the blue.

- You were surprised?
- Not really.

She's a very violent person.

A very violent person,
you claim.

Must have been scary for you,

this very frightening woman

confronting you
on your doorstep,

when all you'd done
was sleep with her man?

Yeah.
It was scary.

Another thing that must
have been scary--

You once got into a fight
with a woman outside a bar

in the city centre, yes?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Got a police caution.

What happened then?

Fight over a man?

Was it a fight over a man?

Yes.
It's not the same.

There are similarities.

- It's not the same.
- It is sort of the same.

Problem for you, isn't it,
Ms. Lewis?

You're a slender woman.
Good for nicking husbands.

Not so good for winning
the fight afterwards.

That bitch put me in hospital!

You hit my client first,
didn't you?

No.

good doubty face.

- Watch and learn.

So I'm going to need you
over the weekend, okay?

Yes, I know, absolutely.
Thank you. Miles, listen.

I actually just wanted to have
a chat with you about something.

Yes, what?

Basically, I didn't sleep
with the juror.

It was just a silly
drunken kiss.

I'm quite a staid guy.

I don't really engage
in laddy banter.

I've, basically, only slept
with sort of, under 10 people.

As in, fewer than 10,

not people
who are under 10, obviously.

different thing.

I'm some kind of young stud.

That is not me.

Just in the spirit of,
um, honesty.

You think I'm giving you work

because you bounced
on some juror?

Um, no.

Obviously I know it's not
entirely because of that.

- Just the impression--
- I gave you work

because Caroline told me

your evidence summaries
were excellent.

does your fellow pupil think

I'm some kind of moron?

Surely not, Miles.

No, Miles, I do not think
you're a moron.

Right, I'll see if the odd,
blonde girl wants it.

Come on!

It was a massive slap
Deanna gave her.

Hetty almost went down.

I remember it as clear as day.

And Lee, some people might say
you're bound to back

Hetty in this dispute-- she's
the mother of your children.

No, I'm telling the truth.

But I'm glad I can.

Because honest to my heart,
Hetty's a wonderful person.

And I've let her down.

And I'm sorry, babe.

I just want to get you home
to show you that.

- General UKIP just smiled.
- Course he did.

Mr. Roberts, you're certain
that Miss Lewis struck first?

Oh, yeah, for sure.
I was relieved.

Relieved? Why?

Well, Hetty knew
I was seeing someone.

And she said if it was Deanna,
she'll mess her up big time.

So, naturally, I was worried.

She'd found the intention.
Shit off.

Do you mean to say that Hetty

expressed the intention
of messing Miss Lewis up?

Yeah,
but when Deanna hit her,

I was like great
now she's got an excuse.

Oh, we are so fucked.

And of course,

- You played me.
- What?

I'm surprised as you are, bruv.

You understand.

I've got two kids with Hetty,
and previous.

It's hard for a dad to get
custody in those circumstances.

So you sent their mother down
for eight months, nice.

You're not even
a Buddhist, are you?

But Hetty's a nasty woman.

You can put a dress on her,
it won't change that.

The bad shit we do lingers, brother.

The world watches and knows.

- Hey!
- Here she is!

Shall we go back to mine?

- Yeah, let's get out of here.
- Hey, Will...

...namaste.

- You alright, then?
- Yeah, I am. Of course.

You wanna get something to eat?

- Hey Ness!

Hey, you! What did you
want to talk about?

Talk about?

Yeah, you left a message,
sounded important.

Uh...

no, I was just going to get
a pizza for later,

so I was wondering
what flavour you wanted?

Oh, great. What we having?
You choose?

Four cheeses?

Sure, that sounds good.
