Take me here, please.

Ah, I don't know. I'll talk about that. Okay.

Let me fill you in with where we are.

We had the cocaine in a hold -all. We moved into the car park where we saw a

friend, Mr. Scott, walking out from behind his van holding a double

shotgun.

Okay. Listen, I'll see you in about an hour.

Okay. Okay, bye.

Sorry about that. I'm a lawyer.

Honestly.

Jamie's dad, Mr Burson, has come in today to talk about what he does at

Hi. Do any of you know what a barrister does?

Yes, Jamie.

He stops people from going to prison.

And how does he do that?

He tells the court that someone didn't do a crime, and sometimes the evidence

doesn't cover it.

And sometimes that means he can't come on holiday like he promised.

Actually... My job is mostly standing up and talking to a judge in court.

What do you talk about?

So if someone said that they saw you take your classmate's pen and you said

didn't take it, my job would be to show that whoever saw you was mistaken.

What happens if I did take the pen anyway?

Well, then you'd be guilty.

Yeah, but whatever said I didn't take it and the person who saw me has bad

eyesight and you're so good at arguing they can't be sure it was me who took

Ah, well then, that's what you call a reasonable doubt.

And so I get to keep the pen?

Yes, but then you'd be getting away with it. Only if your dad was on my side.

Hi, Charles.

Will? We ready?

That crown just called. Seems Maggie Gardner's stepping in as lead junior.

Again?

Surprised you could squeeze in a case between TV appearances.

It was unpleasant.

It's like a darling match with you two. They should sell tickets.

It was, however, the only object Mr. Commander had to hand.

A hunting knife is not a defensive weapon. The clue is in the name.

Miss Gardner?

I apologize, my lord.

A man about to be attacked does not have to wait for permission. The law tells

us that in the right circumstances, a pre -emptive strike is entirely

In this case, a loaded shotgun aimed squarely at his head.

We only have Mr Scott's appalling aim to thank that Mr Cameron is sitting here

today and not being scraped off the nightclub wall with a trowel.

Well done, Will.

Mr Will, thank you very much.

Pleasure. Thank you.

Chicken.

the brutal murder of Sandra Mullins, acting on new evidence that has come to

light in the past few days.

Detectives, however, are still calling for witnesses to come forward with any

additional information they may have concerning the ritualistic slaying of

Mullins, whose tortured body was found on his land by a dog walker last

Ms. Mullins, who was 25 at the time of her death and studying to be a doctor,

was last seen leaving a nightclub in the early hours of Thursday morning.

No, thank you. We have insulation Come

back after breakfast

Well played.

Thank you. How's that?

Pleasure and pain.

Oh, Kate saw you on Loose Women the other day.

You're playing it very cool.

Cool? This whole top 40 nonsense.

What are you talking about?

You haven't heard?

Oh, poor modesty.

So unappealing, Will.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Never had a number one? Congratulations.

Ah.

You've heard already?

Er, no, but it explains the warm welcome outside the roving room. No, I don't

think it's limited to that. Well done, Mr Burton.

That's silk now for you, surely?

You take it, Mr Monk. You fill out the application, I'll buy a stamp. How's

that?

Don't do that to me. You should consider it. Don't just stare at Junior all your

life.

Well, Harry's can, but that's red brick education for you. I like getting my

hands dirty. Ah, but your different wills are very special.

Bonus prize, Mr Burton. Oh, no, we're actually all up to the cottage for the

whole weekend, so... Have a read of that, will you, Will? Knowing you, it

shouldn't take you long. Must put out the mobile range up there right now.

very unfortunate.

Tragic, in fact, so I... Simpkins Brown. Ours for you, personally.

Really? Although I'd keep that particular factoid to yourself if I were

They offer you over any of the folks?

I can't say I blame them.

If I was in their client's shoes, I'd want your record on my side.

If you're chained up in a safe at the bottom of a shark tank, you don't call

Paul Daniels.

You call for Houdini.

Paul!

Potatoes, obviously, she means. Sack of potatoes.

I've had

an apple

in my jacket this morning.

Yeah, I was sending you a message.

Through the medium of fruit.

The message being?

Eat fruit.

You don't think I'm getting my five a day?

No. I don't think you're eating anything that isn't made entirely from cheese.

I think you'll find you have

to press the button.

I did press it. I used a pressing motion.

I just did that. Okay.

Thank you for your support.

Really appreciate it.

Come on, we're going.

We'd like to back this today.

Hey, Finn. All right.

You're the pied piper of bubble baths.

You know, there might be room in here for a large dockman.

I've got to catch up to him.

Oh, well.

Put your back.

It's all candles and twilight in here, though.

You're lost.

Stop snoring.

Sorry, am I keeping you up?

Funny guy.

You were quite the hit at school yesterday, so Jamie said.

They seemed to enjoy it.

Well, there's a few pals who want you to be their lawyer now.

They're all going to go out and commit GBHC for the knowledge that you'll get

them off.

Well, that's very reassuring.

Little do they know that that large brain of yours is full of holes.

Your heart drives full.

That's your problem. I see.

You just need to back it up now and again.

How do I do that?

Well...

It's so nice and warm.

Why did you choose me to lead this?

I mean, why me over a silk?

Because I've seen too many filths who try and waltz in and blunderbuss their

through a case they've only glanced at on the way to the court.

Because in a case like this, I want someone who spends days elbows deep in

evidence.

Because my client stands between a rock and a bucket of shit.

And he needs all the help he can get.

Honestly? Yeah.

Because you win.

Are you sleeping here now, Mr Burton?

What time is it?

Tuesday.

I think I fancy Carlos Tevez.

For captains.

Would you look at these pictures?

You ever seen anything like it?

Before?

I've never.

She was alive for most of that year.

It was alive.

We were walking through the park and listening to music on our iPod.

We did not notice the blood on our shoes until we got home because we'd not been

paying much attention to where we'd been walking and because our walk had taken

us through areas of deeper undergrowth and high grasses.

When we first saw the blood, we presumed we'd stepped in the remains of an

animal. A squirrel, for example?

Yeah.

Did you know that grey squirrels are killing all the red squirrels?

I did, yeah.

But now they've discovered a black squirrel.

Mr. Fowler.

And that's killing all the greys.

Goes to show you can't be too careful.

Mr. Fowler, can we please get on?

What day do you take your laundry to be service washed, Mr. Fowler?

Tuesday's wash day.

Can you explain why after months of Tuesdays you took your washing in on a

Monday?

We'd run out of pants, hadn't we?

We took our laundry to be washed a day early because we'd run out of clothing.

Correct. The fact that we found blood on our shoes after our walk increased our

desire to do our washing.

That's the truth.

You normally wash your shoes in the washing machine.

I do if they have blood on them.

Right.

We're going to have to talk about the website.

The other side are going to try to claim that you habitually view images and

video that are commonly referred to as extreme pornography.

That's an umbrella term for filmed acts which threaten or appear to threaten a

person's life, result in serious injury to participants, or appear to involve

torture, biting, sexual interference with a human corpse.

And that this is a link to the nature of the injuries sustained by the victim.

I don't do that kind of thing.

Unfortunately, your credit card statements tell a different story. They

Payments to a number of websites which have been revealed to distribute this.

This kind of material.

Credit cards are lying.

Erm... Right.

I have to tell you, Mr Foyle, already, this is a huge challenge.

We're going to have to work on your presentation style.

What you see is what you get.

Well, that's part of the problem, isn't it?

Does he have to be here? Yeah, he does, yeah.

Here's the thing, Mr Burton. I don't know whether you've picked it up or

your sixth sense might have spotted it.

I don't like people very much.

I'm just not a very nice person.

I'm not going to judge you. No.

The man in red does that. I'm here to defend you and to present your case as

best as I can, but in order to do... You think I did it, don't you?

That's the problem here.

That's not what I'm saying.

You think I did all those awful things for that poor woman. Mr. Foyle, please

listen to me. I don't think I will. Mr. Foyle.

I want him gone.

He's your solicitor.

Gone.

He was making me nervous.

You want to take a minute?

Staring at me.

Mr. Foyle. Look me in the eye.

Shall we get on?

How about a nice cup of tea?

Mr. Foyle.

I'm your defense barrister.

If you privately confessed your guilt to me in any way, but publicly maintained

your innocence, I'd be following my assumptions there.

And I would have encouraged you, as I left, to enter a guilty plea.

I'm not guilty.

And this is where we are.

Well, good job you're here, then.

Refreshing. I hope so.

Your manners.

So?

Just a splash.

You know, it's funny.

The more time we spend together, the more you remind me of me.

Right.

Mr. Burton? Give me a minute.

Are you all right? Just need some air.

Tony Marble Light.

Yep.

And I'd like to get you going.

Sure.

Ah, here she is.

The rising star of 57 Arlo Street.

Maggie, I know I should really be rooting for you without exception, but

should know there is no ignominy in coming second. Just ask Buzz Aldrin.

Well, I demand a recount.

Take me back to Middle Temple Moot Finals.

Really? Yeah, you and me.

Almost an exact replay.

Well, it was a long time ago.

I heard you up against our boy Julian on this Liam Farmer lackey.

Oh, is that so? Our boy?

Yes, a little surprised it's not you on the other side. You seem to be making a

habit out of it.

I thought I'd give you a go and get someone else to be changed.

Ah, had enough, eh?

Never.

I'm just thinking of transitioning to more defence work.

Excuse me.

Sure.

Anyway, this foil case is a little too subdued for my liking.

He's a patron saint of love courses. Oh, I didn't know that.

Wow. I'll go and get some more rubbing alcohol.

Thank you.

I'm serious, Will. I've seen the brief. Why are you doing it?

I'm practicing law.

Oh, come on.

It's almost a no questions job, eh?

It might be exposure, but for all the wrong reasons. I don't do things for

exposure, Maggie.

Why do you do it?

Because everyone deserves a defense.

Okay,

so you're saying there's more to find?

Yeah, and would you go on record with that?

Great.

Great, okay.

Someone from my office will call you tomorrow and set up an appointment.

Thanks.

Thank you, speak soon. Bye -bye.

Who's that?

That clever man who knows about computers.

Are you going to back up your brain?

No, it's for work.

Will he help you win the case?

Hope so.

How's Kay and the family?

Very well, thank you.

I think Maggie's in the gallery today.

Why should he do that?

Checking out the competition, I expect.

You see, that's the trouble with being number one, Will. Everybody wants to

knock you off your perch.

Now, I heard you asked for an adjournment last week.

I did indeed.

Trouble at Mill?

Not really, just needed more time.

Well, here we are, I'm afraid.

Here we are indeed.

I must say, I do like your game face, old boy.

You haven't seen it yet, old boy.

Some crimes defy description.

They debase our so -called civilisation and defy every boundary of humanity left

to us.

Now, the person who took the life of Sandra Mullins can only be described as

malignant sadist who did so with the intent to traumatise, to terrorise.

and to inflict the maximum amount of pain and suffering.

And we intend to prove without doubt that that person was Liam Foyle.

Severe bruising around her neck, her thyroid cartilage and hyoid bone were

fractured. Cause of death was strangulation.

Other injuries were sexual in nature, internal and external.

Both eyes were missing.

removed with force close to the time of death, possibly before.

The park gets overgrown towards the north -eastern corner.

Long grass, hawthorn, lavender, nettle beds.

And did you see anything unusual on your morning route?

I saw a man getting up from a lying position.

Mr Hughes, in your professional capacity, can you please confirm that

card statements before you are an accurate reflection of payments made by

bank... On behalf of the account holder, Mr. Liam Foyle.

Yes. And these payments were made by the card over the first three months of

this year, is that correct?

Yes. And they were all made online to companies across Asia and Europe, all of

which distribute and produce the same product, namely pornography, is that

correct? Yes, that is our understanding.

Mr. Hughes.

Many of these sites, and I'm afraid we have had to visit them in the course of

this investigation, have shown acts of extreme depravity, which we understand

from the forensic reports show disturbingly accurate similarities to

injuries that befell Sandra Mullins before she was murdered. I talk

in relation to the bite marks and the mutilation of genitalia.

Liar. Mr. Foyle, you have one chance with me, and that was it.

Any more from you, and I shall hold you in contempt.

Silence, please.

Mr Hughes, please answer the question.

Yes, it is the same card.

Thank you.

No further questions, my lord.

Burton?

My Lord, before this trial began, I made a written application for an

adjournment. I'm asking you now to please reconsider that application in

light of the gravity of the expert testimony.

Mr Burton, this is most inappropriate.

I submit that an adjournment will bring vital evidence to light. Let both sides

have their experts and let the jury decide.

Mr Burton, there is huge public interest in having this case heard as soon as

possible.

The fact that your expert has not mustered himself to the task at hand is

neither here nor there. It's not that he's slow, it's that he's gathering

potentially new evidence. It's the same computer.

Both of your experts are computer forensic specialists. I can hardly see

trained men looking at the same piece of equipment could produce so radically

different conclusions that it would make a difference.

I'm afraid it simply isn't all.

Um... I think if my lord could look a little closer... Your application was

refused and it shall stay refused.

I will decline from pursuing you on contempt, but let this be your last and

final warning.

We'll break for lunch now.

The crane is on the track, Mr Burton.

For the sake of your client, I suggest you deal with it.

My lord.

Will?

You should try and sleep.

I'm fine.

I mean it.

You think you're invincible and you're not.

We should get new locks on these windows.

Are you even listening to me?

Frame locks with keys.

Oh, my God.

You're going to drive me crazy for the next two months, aren't you?

A colleague of mine just offended a 12 -year -old boy who put a drain cleaner

down the throat of his best mate because he wouldn't let him play a game on his

phone.

The world is broken.

You shouldn't watch scary movies so close to bedtime.

Not inspiring much confidence up there, Will.

I know what I'm doing, Mr. Foyle.

Not from where I'm sitting.

So sack me.

Why would I want to do that?

You tell me.

I work for you as long as you'll hand me.

I apologize, Will.

I know you've got my back. I appreciate your honesty very much.

Shall we get on?

You only have one computer, is that correct?

Yes, but I don't see what that's got to do with what happened to that woman.

You will.

Someone must pay for what happened to Sandra Mullins.

Our very humanity is at stake, as my learned friend has indicated.

It would be convenient for everyone here today if Liam Foyle was guilty.

The cuffs go on and he's gone forever.

The evidence seems overwhelming.

But it is not.

We may dislike Mr. Foyle.

We might cross the street if he's oncoming.

But we do not have to like him to defend him.

Because this is not a popularity contest.

This is not a witch hunt.

This is a court of law.

And in this country, when you're accused of a crime, you are presumed to be

innocent until proven guilty. And make no mistake, not a shred of what you've

heard from my learned friend acting for the prosecution has given any proof at

all.

I will show you unreliable witnesses.

Lazy forensic science.

Emotional appeals instead of factual accuracies.

Oh yes, and the casual assertion that my client... is a consumer of extreme

pornography.

First, I think, we will talk about that.

I am an expert in forensic computer data analysis.

Dr. Crowe, have you had a chance to examine the hard drive of the computer

belonging to Mr.

Foyle? Yes, I have.

And you did this instructed by the prosecution in this case, is that

Yes.

Unfortunately, Dr.

Weeks, the gentleman who has helped examine the computer for the defense,

not yet finished his work.

However, he has passed me his notes today, and I'd like to ask you questions

about them.

Wherever you go on the internet using a computer, you leave footprints, is that

correct? Yes, it is. And even if you've deleted a file, someone like you is able

to see it? Most of the time, yes. Where is this going?

In the absence of my own expert, my lord, my learned friend has kindly

the prosecution expert on this matter.

I beg some time to explore this point with him.

Very well.

My learned friend alleges that my client paid for and viewed, on a regular

basis, numerous depraved and abusive images, including acts of torture,

mutilation, strangulation and necrophilia.

In your analysis of his computer, did you establish that Mr. Foyle had

visited... any of those websites that pertain to those images.

No, but his credit card... Thank you. And my learned friend asserted that my

client paid for access to many of those websites with his credit card.

Now, why would he pay for them if he didn't actually visit them?

It may sound reprehensible, but he's not getting his money's worth, is he?

How did he pay for access to those sites without actually visiting them?

There were many porn sites on Mr. Fall's internet history to which he submitted

his credit card details.

That's how he received the passwords to unlock other content elsewhere.

Is it possible that his card details were falsified at that point?

How do you mean?

I mean that when he submitted his details to the adult site, they were

used by unknown third parties to...

pay for and unlock the other content, as you call it.

Is that possible?

I suppose so, yes.

So given this possibility, if we were to prove in this court that such

falsification occurred, would Mr Foyle be shown to be, in fact...

A victim of identity fraud. My Lord, this is not a trial about extreme

pornography. This is a trial about the horrific murder. Our expert was in the

process of proving this link, my Lord, hence her application for an

which was refused. My landed friend brought these hideous allegations to

this case, and I hereby reiterate my request.

The expert testimony cuts both ways.

Usher, please excuse the jury.

A matter of procedure has just arisen. I need to talk to both sides about it.

We will call you back presently.

My wrong, I think.

Judge. My client has now been falsely branded an extreme porn enthusiast by

Crown. This has now leaked online to social media, where it's been duly

up by the print media, all of which has now permanently tainted my client with

the label torturer, pervert, necrophiliac. So much so that this jury

discharged and a new jury called.

Even with the reporting restrictions such as they are, given the press this

has already generated, Mr Foyle cannot be given a fair trial.

The inevitable application is to stay the indictment.

Sir... I did make the request in good time. Yes, yes, we know.

The prejudice to the accused in the eyes of this jury is, in my view, permanent.

Reluctantly, I feel that I have little option in these circumstances but to

accede to your application. Judge, please.

I ballsed up Julian.

I'm sorry.

Let's get this over with.

And so, as a result, I have no alternative but to discharge the jury.

and release the defendant.

All rise.

Congratulations. Well done.

That was a mistake.

I just made sure they paid for it.

Well, good man.

Just doing my job.

Thank you, my friend.

Pleasure. Take care.

So show me again.

You do it.

Okay, but don't watch me. I can't do it if you watch me. I'm like a kettle.

What do you mean you're like a kettle? If I get this right, I'll tell you. Go

on. Okay.

For buying clothing to say what you want, use... Crea.

Crea. I'd like a shirt.

Crea una camisa. Crea una camisa.

I'd like a pair of trousers To get the right

size, use the following phrases I am a size 40 If

they don't have the right color, here's how to ask

for the same thing in blue Do you have this in blue?

Who are you waving at?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

That man.

He just started waving.

What man?

He's gone now.

Just go in.

Are you peeing?

Possibly.

Listen, just take a deep breath and open the door, you big jessie. I can't. I'm

scared. It's just a reunion.

Jenny said she'd be here.

Who is she again?

Funny.

Well, at least we'll have something in common.

We're a deal. I can't see her anywhere.

It'll be fine.

No, not these people. These people are all so... Hi!

Hi! Great to see you!

Two -faced.

I'll tell you what.

We're still hyperventilating by the cheese course.

You can always come and see us.

You know where we are.

And we're always pleased to see you.

Okay, thanks.

I better go.

Bye.

What's going on?

It's a surprise.

A nice surprise.

What's the question? You!

You always make me... Get off!

So, how's Edinburgh?

So mad.

Why don't you come back, though?

Get a nicer house, better schools.

You keep that look to your face.

I am being okay, thanks.

I know.

I read the paper.

Don't let them start without me, okay?

Amen.

Hi. God, where were you? I've been trying to phone for ages.

What's happened?

There was a man... I don't know, but there's somebody outside.

We're at the cottage. Man, what man?

Well, I don't know what man it is. It was a man.

Kate, Kate, Kate, breathe, breathe. Tell me again.

Stay in the bedroom. Don't go outside, okay? Do not go outside. I'll be there

soon as I can. I love you, okay?

Do you hear me? Are you calling them? Call, call, call.

Miles, it's a woodland right there.

Is it possible that one of your ex -clients has a point to prove?

Someone you failed to defend, perhaps did some time.

Well, no.

You sound very sure.

Detective Chalmers, Mr Burton has never lost a case.

Have you ever refused to represent someone?

We're not really allowed to do that.

Well, and?

Cherry -picking is frowned upon.

Everybody's hungry.

Everybody's hungry.

Any sign of a reply from the QC selection panel?

Yeah, look, about that.

You might want to delay a little.

What kind of complaint?

Unprofessional conduct.

He didn't come to us first.

Looks like he wanted to cause you maximum discomfort. Went straight to the

ombudsman and the BSB. Both barrels.

Mr. Foyle asserts.

That you engaged in conduct which is dishonest or otherwise discreditable to

barrister contrary to paragraph 301A1.

In particular, that you expressed doubts about the validity and honesty of

his... What?

Is this true? Of course not.

This is insane. We won the bloody case. We won.

It looks like it's not enough.

What the hell is he doing?

I'm afraid your silk application is going to have to wait till this is all

sorted out. I'm awfully sorry, Will.

It's very bad luck. We need to weigh in on this right away. Stop it in its

tracks. Enough firepower. It may well work.

Danny!

See who you can rope back into the office, will you?

It's six o 'clock.

We'll trash out his strategy here and now.

All right?

It's a bit of a thing at work. It's a bit weird.

I'm going to have to see you later, but maybe we can all just go up together.

Can you hang on a bit? We're ready for the off.

Look, why don't we just see you up there, eh?

But hurry up, OK?

I want to show you something.

It's cryptic.

Well, not really.

Oh, and listen... Oh, I'm losing you.

No.

I'll see you later, OK?

I'm really hungry.

I don't care.

Listen, we're going to wait for your dad to get back and then we can all eat

together, OK?

Hi, it's Kate.

I'm not here right now, but leave a message.

Bye.

Try to find out if it is day or night.

What are two ways to greet someone?

Where

is

the nearest chemist?

Kate?

Church!

Words are not enough, Will.

Take all the time you need.

Chambers is a family.

Like all families, we take care of one another.

We'll run with this right through to the end.

Whatever it takes.

Thank you. You have my word on it.

We'll make sure we get him.

How are things?

Sorry, it's your question.

I'll get through it.

Sorry to call out the blue. I was just in the area.

It's really great that you called, Danny. I really appreciate it.

How's everything with you? Fine.

Well, we're just... pulling out all the big guns. Going to blitz the bastard,

yeah?

What is it?

I don't know if I should tell you.

Tell me what?

Liam Foyle confirmed defence counsel today.

Who is it?

I thought you were still on leave.

I am.

I am.

I sent you a card.

I hope that you... You're defending him.

If you mean Liam Foyle, then yes.

Yes, you're correct.

Look, after everything that's happened, I mean... I know this must be very hard

for you. I really do.

Yeah.

You know as well as I do, for good or bad,

What can I say?

Everyone deserves to win.

That's right, Maggie.

That's right.

Foil murder, Sandra Mummett. You need to know that. You said otherwise in court.

You let that man in, you are risking everything.

I mean it. Don't be alone.

It was today, wasn't it? The plea. I should have called you. Talk to me.

Actually, I got there. Where was this morning?

These lawyers, they don't have an ounce of mercy in them. They can be very

manipulative. Never said thank you. Oh, you're welcome.

See you soon.

What were you planning on telling me? I want to meet him with everyone tonight.

Everyone. Dad, look out!

Is he here?

Is that it already, lad?

Why didn't you call me?
