I wanna review

the updated witness list

so we're not blindsided.

Marcus?

It's from my niece.

She's turning ten.

(SOFT MYSTERIOUS MUSIC)

(DISTANT CHILDREN PLAYING)

(RHYTHMIC MUSIC)

Arrr, give up your buried treasure

or we'll make you walk the plank!

Oh, really?

Well, if you do that, then who's gonna bring you your cake, Captain?

Mom, obviously.

Ha, you little traitor.

Have you seen your Uncle Pete?

Over there with Wendy's mom.

- Arrr. - Arrr.

Cake time in five minutes, everyone.

(CHILDREN CHEERING)

Well, I haven't actually met anyone who's afraid of AI

who knows the first thing about AI.

Sorta like a perfect example of the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

Dunning-Kruger Effect?

Yeah, you know, when, uh, people of little competence, they...

they tend to overestimate their ability.

Another example would be me thinking I could ask you out on a date.

Huh, I didn't see that coming.

You kinda saw it coming.

Pete, the candles?

Hey, Marcus, this is Claire.

Wendy's mom. Man, you had one job.

You were supposed to get the candles an hour ago...

Relax. I got you.

Sorry, you'll have to excuse my friend, he's wound a little tight!

- It makes sense, though, right? - Yeah, it does.

Ah! You found him.

(MARCUS SIGHS)

Over there talking to Claire Bellow.

Wendy's mom?

Mm-hmm.

She's married.

When has that ever stopped him?

(CHUCKLING)

Yeah. I cannot believe our little boy is turning seven years old.

- Mm-hmm. - It happened so fast.

Mm, not for me, it didn't.

(LAUGHING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Oh, sorry. I gotta get this.

Uh, don't go anywhere.

- Yo. (phone) WOMAN: Pete, great.

- Hey, yeah.

- Sorry.

- Yeah?

with you both. ASAP.

- OK...

Yeah, gimme a second.

- Let's do this. You got the lighter? - Yeah.

Yo, Marcus, I need you on this call. It's Arun.

- Uh, no. We're about to do cake. - He says it's important.

Candles are already in, man. Does it have to happen right now?

He says it needs to be now and both of us on the line. Come on.

Go ahead, take the call. Yeah.

We'll just, uh... we'll sing slow.

Slow!

Alright.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you...

Arun, man, it's Marcellus's birthday

whatever you gotta tell us, make it quick.

Google wants to buy Caraxon.

Say that again? (ARUN LAUGHS)

letter of intent to acquire Caraxon.

How much?

(LAUGHING)

so we'll get that number up.

OK. Alright. Uh, thanks Arun, we'll talk to you soon.

(CHEERING, SHOUTING)

(GUESTS CHEERING)

(DISTANT SHOUTING)

(LAUGHING)

- A "b"! - A "b"!

A "b"! A billion.

We did it! We did that!

(CHEERING)

Confirming a person's identity by capturing their face,

that's our business model, right?

I could've captured Pete's flabbergasted face

yesterday when we got that call.

(LAUGHING)

Pete Vanderkamp, the most annoyingly, frustratingly,

brilliant individual I have ever known.

And he just so happens to be my best friend.

Now, back in the day

when Pete and I first started this company,

we knew it wasn't about just building out Pete's algorithm.

We knew that we had to recruit the best of the best.

Build out a real team.

And that's why we're standing here today, because of you.

You believed,

you sacrificed

Now it's time to trade in all your sweat equity

for some real equity.

(CHEERING)

Alright, chillax.

Calmate. Let's not get ahead of ourselves,

the deal isn't closed just yet.

But until it is,

you guys just keep doing what you're doing,

and just know that we

truly, truly appreciate

and are grateful for each and every one of you

a billion-dollar acquisition.

- In other words, let's go!

(CHEERING)

What he said!

- Thank you. - Yeah!

Thank you.

Back to work!

(GASPS) Oh, my God. You scared me.

(LAUGHING)

Sorry I'm late.

I didn't even hear you come in.

Ah, that's cos you're focused on, uh...

a lil' house-hunting.

Nah, open it back up.

Let's see.

- I like that one. - Oh, really?

Mm-hmm. Yeah, oceanfront view, tennis court,

infinity pool, nine bedrooms.

I mean...

There's only three of us, so lemme see...

Yeah, that means we get three bedrooms each.

OK. Alright.

Might be a little tight, but we can make it work.

- No, I know it's stupid. - Nah, it's not stupid.

I mean, a little premature,

but there's nothing wrong with a little real estate porn.

It's just, you know,

we've been talking for all these years about

getting to this moment, but we never talked about

what we'd do once we're here.

Like I said, we're not there yet.

But we are close.

So, you can't keep pushing this away. Marcus, this is really happening,

so we gotta start talking about how we're going to handle this.

You're right.

Having all of this money all of a sudden, it is...

it's disorienting and frankly, it's pretty terrifying.

(SIGHS) But...

we'll figure it out.

- We always do. - OK.

As long Marcellus doesn't become one of those entitled brats

we can't stand. (LAUGHING)

I ain't worried about that.

I know his mama.

You deserve this.

We deserve this.

Mm...

You had the dream,

and you made it happen.

I'm so proud of you.

Well, thank you, but...

..none of this means anything

without you and Marcellus.

Aw.

That's nice.

I mean it.

Speaking of nice...

Come love on me.

(LAUGHING) Please. Please.

Come over here.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

(PHONE CHIMES)

Mm-mm, don't answer that.

Mm-mm. Come to bed.

- Come to bed. Marcus. - I know.

I'll just...

Just...

Alright, I'll be waiting for you.

(phone) WOMAN: Mrs Skilling, are you pleased with this verdict?

Am I grateful that the police who murdered my husband

will be punished? Yes, I am.

will still be empty tonight,

so there's no justice that can make my life any less lonely.

(OVERLAPPING REPORTER CHATTER)

Excuse me.

(PHONE BUZZING)

Hello?

(distorted) VOICE: I see you've just watched the video

Who is this?

Tell me or I'm hanging up.

What do you think you know?

company's negligence.

How?

this to myself.

to leak it to the media.

Look, whoever you are

and whatever you're trying to do,

this is really not...

(PHONE BUZZES)

(BEEPING)

What the heck?

Hey, what's wrong?

Um...

the bankers, they...

Uh, they want to file some disclosures by tomorrow morning,

so... I gotta go over 'em with Pete.

Now?

- Yeah.

Can't do that over the phone, honey? You just got home.

I'll be home soon. I love you.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(INDISTINCT WHISPERING)

A pre-trial motions hearing was held

two weeks ago at which plea negotiations failed.

maintains his plea

of involuntary manslaughter,

ready for trial today.

- Yes, Your Honour. - Yes, Your Honour.

Alright then, let's bring in the jury and start with opening statements.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(PHONE RINGING)

(SIGHS)

Marcus, what the hell, man?

I've been trying to call you for like an hour.

Well, did it occur to you that there's a reason I'm not picking up?

- We need to talk.

Not on the phone.

What? You're here? Now?

Um...

Uh, OK.

Uh, uh, just give me a couple of minutes.

- Yep.

(SIGHS)

(DOORBELL RINGING)

Marcus.

Please don't tell Lycia.

A little afterparty after the birthday party, huh?

She had some issues with her husband.

You know, she needed someone to talk to.

So now you're a marriage counsellor?

Look, we gotta talk, man.

Alright, brother, tell me what's going on.

You tell me.

You know what that is?

Analytics from, uh,

our beta version that we tested seven years ago with the Sacramento PD.

Yeah, they're saying that our system has a higher margin of error

identifying Blacks and Asians.

Slightly higher. Statistically insignificant.

You want a drink?

So, you did know about this!

Yeah. Of course, I knew about it.

I'm the one who fixed it.

How'd you dig it up?

Someone sent it to me.

Someone smart enough to hack into our server

and contact me from a non-traceable VOIP.

What?

They're threatening to go public

unless we give 'em 20 million dollars.

And they're blaming us for Xavier Skilling.

OK. The cops that killed Skilling

were supposed to confirm his identity before they went in.

Right? With their own eyes.

They didn't follow protocol.

That's why they went to prison.

Human error killed Xavier Skilling, alright? Not our software.

There's no universe where we're legally liable.

Yeah, maybe not in a court of law, but in the court of public opinion?

We're gonna get crucified.

(SIGHS)

How could you release our software when you knew this was a problem?

Because you said that we needed Sacramento

to get our second round of financing.

- Do not try to turn this on me. - Tell me that I'm wrong.

Tell me that you didn't say our burn rate was so high

that if we didn't get Sacramento,

we'd have to shutter the whole company in six months. Huh?

So, what are we gonna do when Google finds the discrepancy?

They won't.

They're auditing our Analytics.

I scrubbed the numbers.

You did what?

There's no record of the differential after Sacramento. OK?

Google can't find something that never happened.

Except the person that's blackmailing us has the unedited version.

- Which is why you need to pay them. - I can't...

Marcus, we're taking about less than five percent of what you and I

stand to make from this deal.

But there won't be a deal if we don't pay them.

So, you tell me what other options do we have here?

I don't know.

What do you wanna do, man? You wanna go to the FBI?

You wanna go straight into the New York Times?

Tell me what you want to do, I'll do it.

- I don't know! - Well, I do.

And unless you want to burn down the last 18 years of our lives,

and the lives of everybody that works for us, there is only one choice.

and they have agreed

to shorten your employment contracts from five to four years

and to accelerate your vesting schedules.

And how much do we have to give up?

Nothing. Not one dollar.

You're both basically just getting your payouts faster.

I love that you took a billion-dollar offer

and you thought to yourself, "You know what? I can do better."

Haha! You're a genius, Arun.

Hey, I'm just here to help raise this unicorn

that you and Marcus gave birth to.

that sounds painful.

(CHUCKLING)

Hey, Marcus, you joining the party or what?

Um...

Sorry, I was just...

making sure I understand it all.

Well, that's why you overpay us.

To translate it.

(CHUCKLING)

So, uh, when do we close?

Once you sign off on terms, they can start the due diligence process.

- Right, and how long will that take? - Four months? Six, tops.

Their auditors just need to kick the tyres and look under the hood.

Can we finish this later?

Um, I just, uh...

need to go over a couple of things with Pete

before we sign, just in case we have any questions.

It's a letter of intent, it's non-binding,

but because of their accounting calendar,

it does need to be signed and submitted to the SEC by tomorrow.

Tomorrow's fine.

Alright, then. Well, we'll come back tomorrow.

Cool.

(SCOFFS) (DOOR BEEPS)

Alright, it's almost 2:00.

back there?

out last night.

When you first found out about the discrepancy in Sacramento...

..why didn't you tell me?

Same reason I don't tell you about the thousand other glitches

that I fix every time we release a new version.

This wasn't just another glitch, Pete.

It was a problem that needed fixing, so I fixed it.

Just like I always do.

You still should've told me.

Do you tell me about every problem you have on the business side?

No. No.

And I don't expect you to.

It's divide and conquer, man, it's the whole point of us being partners.

Well, then what's the point of being friends?

(SIGHS)

Marcus, you don't code.

OK? You wouldn't have been able to do anything.

So, is that real reason you didn't tell me?

Do you actually think that I held this back from you

because you're Black? - You said it, not me.

(SCOFFS)

Look, I understand that you're wound up about this right now, OK,

so am I.

- I'm just asking a question. - You're calling me a racist.

(PHONE BUZZES)

Yeah, um...

I'm here with my partner.

Yeah. Hi.

So, the money you're asking for...

we don't have it yet.

Our deal doesn't close for another six months.

You're getting 50 million when you sign the Letter of Intent.

so much about our business?

wiring instructions.

And after we pay you, how do we know you won't go public?

Then what? We're just supposed to trust you?

Like you trust each other.

We done here?

(DOOR OPENS)

(KEYS JINGLING)

Where you going so early?

Couldn't really sleep, so I figured I'd hit the gym, but you...

you go back to bed.

It's still dark outside.

Hey, I'll be back in time to make Marcellus breakfast.

Go to sleep.

(SIGHS)

your husband for the court.

Xavier was the best man I've ever known.

You couldn't find a more loving husband or

devoted father.

and people liked him.

and I was looking forward to another 30 more, but...

I'm sure you must want to put all this behind you.

Not at all.

Every chance I get to tell anyone about Xavier

Cam, that knee is looking better.

Back on the dancefloor, baby.

(LAUGHING)

Even my most loyal customers don't come in this early.

(MARCUS CHUCKLES)

Yeah, early business meeting,

so I thought I'd grab some bagels

and doughnuts to earn some good will with my employees.

No better way. So how big is your meeting?

Eight people maybe? So, a couple of dozen should work.

Do you want any particular kind, or you want an assortment?

You're the expert, so, you know,

whatever you say, just mix it up.

What kind of business are you in?

Uh... tech.

Thanks, Jane. Tech!

Woo, that remains a mystery to me.

I need my kids to change the settings on my phone.

(CHUCKLING)

Yes, ma'am. Uh...

One, my son.

He just turned seven.

Oh, that's a good age.

I was checking out the photos

when I walked in.

Girl in the cap and gown?

Oh, that's Willow. That's my daughter.

Cam, can I get another box?

- Yep. - She's in medical school.

And that's my son, Dwayne.

He's a ranger in the National Park.

The first time we ever took him,

when he was six, he said,

"That's what I wanna do," and that's what he did.

Impressive kids.

You must be proud.

They saw my husband and me

wake up at 3:00am all those years.

He's, uh...

He's passed, so it's...

..it's just me now, so...

You ever think about selling it?

Yeah, I imagine I'll sell at some point, but...

this is where my husband and I built our lives,

and raised our kids, and supported a community.

So, it'll be hard to let go.

Well, I hope that your meeting goes well.

And that your team is hungry.

You know what?

I'll take a few more dozen.

Cam, can I get two more boxes?

Thank you very much.

..both the criminal and civil cases

against the Sacramento Police Department were resolved

seven years ago.

Please tell the court why you decided to testify today?

Because I wanted this man to see me,

for what he really is.

- Objection.

away from character evidence.

Yes, Your Honour.

Jurors will disregard the witness' last response.

I was watching that jury

when Lenore Skilling was up there.

We knew she'd make a compelling witness,

but she didn't bring any new facts to the case.

I'm not worried about the facts. I'm worried about how she made them feel.

I saw their faces. Did you see how they were looking at you?

Yeah.

I think I should testify.

Lycia, that's...

It might help.

Spousal privilege protects you from having to testify,

but once you do, the prosecution can cross-examine you.

I'll take that chance.

The jury needs to hear my side of this.

Because what happened was not just on Marcus.

Marcellus!

I'm sorry.

Why you riding that in the house any damn way?

I didn't mean to break it.

It was my present.

Hey, it's OK, baby.

It's OK. He knows you didn't mean it.

- Marcellus...

- Walk away from the glass.

Ah...

It's fine.

Let me see it.

It's fine.

Hey.

I didn't mean to yell.

Well, now you sound like Marcellus.

Neither of you meant it.

I gotta go talk to him.

First you need to talk to me.

I know you well enough to know when something's going on.

There's a lot going on, Lycia.

I'm trying to sell the company.

And that should be making you happy...

..not short-tempered and sleepless...

..leaving all hours of the night, screaming at your son,

drinking the minute you get home.

There's just a lot of stuff that, um,

I gotta work through.

OK. What kind of stuff?

Marcus, you can tell me, whatever it is.

I don't need to involve you.

Well, anything that involves you, involves me.

And that's when your husband told you he was being blackmailed.

He told me everything.

He even told me about going to the bakery earlier that morning

because he couldn't sleep.

The idea that he had anything to do with Xavier Skilling's murder is...

it was weighing on Marcus to the point where he did not think

he could live with himself if he kept it in.

Marcus wanted to...

to tell the truth. He wanted to step up and do what was right.

But he didn't.

No.

Why not?

Because I said he shouldn't.

Well, Pete should've told you exactly when it happened, obviously.

So, the two of you have got a lot

that you need to work out, but...

(SIGHS)

Honey, I...

I think he's right.

Right about what?

Paying this person what they want.

And hopefully, it'll all go away.

An innocent man was murdered

because of us.

Not because of you.

Because the police didn't confirm his identity before they shot him.

If they weren't using our system,

Xavier Skilling would still be alive today.

Maybe.

We don't know.

But is killing your company,

is blowing up this deal

gonna bring him back? It's not.

They won't credit you for coming forward.

They'll just use it to take you down,

Marcus,

and to keep you there.

Come on. Is exposing this

small margin of error

worth destroying our family?

After everything that you have sacrificed,

after everything we have both sacrificed to get here.

In that moment,

I thought I was protecting my husband

and my son, but it's more than that.

And I'm not making excuses for what I did...

..I'm still just trying to understand it myself.

My grandfather was a veteran,

and he couldn't get a loan under the GI Bill.

Redlining kept our families out of homes, out of neighbourhoods.

And now, here's my family...

..getting close to the kind of status

and power and...

..all that comes with that kind of wealth.

And all because my husband built a company

And I wasn't gonna let that get taken away.

I'm so sorry for what happened to your husband.

(LYCIA SNIFFLES)

And I really don't expect you to forgive me.

But I hope that my husband might.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

..let's do this.

Uh, yeah.

I just gotta talk to Pete.

Yeah, I haven't heard back from either of you.

I'm assuming we're good to go on the LOI.

Yeah.

Well, that didn't sound very convincing.

Like I said, uh...

before we sign, I just...

gotta sort some stuff out with Pete.

Anything I can help you with?

Nah.

OK.

Hey, Marcus...

I've been meaning to thank you.

I mean, this is a life-changing moment for a lot of us,

me included,

and I didn't want that to get left unsaid in all the excitement.

Some ride, huh?

Yeah.

Some ride.

And you keep forgetting. When else...

- I haven't forgotten a single thing. - Yes, you have. No...

(CLEARS THROAT) Am I interrupting something?

Ask Pete.

LAWYER: The defendant claims that Mr Vanderkamp

told him that you were arguing over

the equity stake in the sale of the company.

- Is that accurate? - No.

Pete accused me of blackmailing Marcus and him.

Based on what?

I'm the one who discovered the statistical anomaly.

I ran the analytics during the Sacramento pilot

Other than Pete, I was the only one who knew about it.

Was Mr Vanderkamp correct in his suspicion

that you were using the information

to extort them?

Yes.

Let the record show the witness has already pleaded

guilty to extortion and is awaiting sentencing.

Ms Wax, why would you resort to blackmail

when you stood to earn ten million dollars from the sale?

Because...

..Pete promised he'd compensate me for it, but he never did.

Every time I brought it up,

he had some excuse.

So, when I heard about the company being sold

and Pete pretended like he'd never promised me anything, I...

promising something one minute and forgetting it the next.

the anomaly,

why did you bring it to Mr Vanderkamp's attention

and not Mr Paul's?

I wanted to tell Marcus, I did,

but Pete didn't want him to know.

from his best friend and business partner?

He said he wanted to protect Marcus.

to handle what we'd found.

She's not happy with her payout. It's fine.

I'll deal with her after the meeting.

We gotta talk.

Arun's waiting for us.

Let him wait.

What's this about?

Not here. Let's go.

(OMINOUS MUSIC)

Well?

This doesn't feel right.

Could you be a little more specific?

We gotta disclose the analytics from Sacramento.

I'm not signing the LOI.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry, Pete, man, I can't.

We already had this conversation, Marcus.

Yeah, I wish I could just hold my nose and sign it,

but I keep imagining

how I'd have to explain myself to Marcellus

if he ever found out.

He won't. Right? Marcellus is never gonna know.

Nobody is ever gonna know.

I'll know.

And the idea of carrying this with me for the rest of my life...

..I can't. I won't do it, Pete.

Not for all the money in the world.

We are talking about a statistically negligible result

that's no longer an issue. OK?

It wasn't even an issue back then.

See?

That's exactly what I'm talking about.

What?

You're always so damn easy on yourself.

What does that even mean?

Sleeping with married women.

(SCOFFS)

Buying a house that you can't afford.

Here we go.

Faking our company's analytics

right before a billion-dollar transaction,

which, by the way, is called fraud.

How many more examples do you need?

Pete just does what he wants to do.

And when someone calls you on it,

you always got a convenient little excuse.

It's who you are.

Who you've always been.

And you're just realising all of this right now?

Hmm?

Now, when we're about to get everything

that we ever dreamed of, huh?

Wow, Marcus, I gotta tell you, man,

the timing here is, uh, pretty messed up.

Let me ask you a question, though.

If I'm such a bad person,

then why'd you come to me to start a company? Huh?

It's gonna take some time for me to figure that out.

Maybe you should start by looking in the mirror.

You know, now that we're being so honest with each other.

Goodbye, Pete.

- We are not done here. - Yes, we are.

No, we are not.

You're too afraid to hear the truth about yourself?

Take your hand off me, or I'll take it off myself.

You have always known exactly who I was, but I was your Golden Goose,

so you held on tight and looked the other way.

(GRUNTING)

OK, Ms Wax, um,

let's go to the day in question.

You told the police

that you followed Mr Paul

the stairwell landing.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Yes.

tell the court why

thought about telling them the truth,

because something ugly

was growing between them.

(SHOUTING)

I opened the door...

..it was too late.

Ms Wax,

you told the police that you saw them fighting in the stairwell?

Not right away.

(GRUNTING)

through the door,

but it was too heavy to hear anything.

So I opened it...

..just a crack.

(GRUNTING)

No, no, no, no, no!

(PETE GRUNTS)

I saw Pete

going over the railing...

..and...

..falling into the stairwell.

pushed him.

No.

Yet you claimed earlier my client was close enough

to Mr Vanderkamp to catch him before he fell, but he failed to do so.

Yes, but...

And you witnessed this from outside the actual stairwell landing,

in what you yourself described as a...

I had a clear enough view.

Well, how close were you to them?

Six feet? Ten?

Which is it?

Six? Ten?

It's hard to say exactly.

Is it possible the angle you viewed them from

made it even harder

I suppose so.

And by the time you actually entered the stairwell,

what'd you see?

Marcus was kneeling over him.

He was trying to help.

That doesn't sound like the intention of a man

who wanted to hurt Mr Vanderkamp.

Objection. Leading the witness.

describe my client's emotional state, uh,

when you saw him, "trying to help"

(GASPS)

..and completely wrecked.

How long have you known Mr Paul and Mr Vanderkamp?

Several years.

I was their fourth hire.

And how well do you know them?

Very well.

We worked crazy, long hours,

all of us, so...

we got to know each other pretty intimately.

Other than his principals and the company they co-founded,

could you describe their relationship?

They were friends.

And even that doesn't describe what they meant to each other.

Yes, they fought sometimes,

but only to make each other better.

And they'd still have that...

(voice breaks) ..they'd still have each other

if I hadn't done what I'd done.

the Caraxon Corporation's culpability

in the tragic murder of Xavier Skilling.

Your task

is to decide what

was Mr Paul's intent...

..when he caused the death of Peter Vanderkamp.

lethal fall

when he was well within reach,

Mr Paul clearly demonstrated his intent.

His failure to act

is the literal definition

of involuntary manslaughter.

The culmination of...

..a lifetime of grievances

that metastasised into a rage.

The prosecution rests, Your Honour.

present your closing statement.

Of course, my client harboured grievances that day,

but only after he learned Mr Vanderkamp lied to him,

and withheld crucial information

about the company he co-founded,

a company to which he's dedicated

almost all his adult life.

they have failed

to present sufficient evidence

that Mr Vanderkamp's fall

was anything other than a tragic accident.

With any reasonable doubt

that this unfortunate death was premeditated,

it is your duty

to find my client not guilty.

Have you reached a verdict?

JUROR: We have, Your Honour.

In the case of the State of California versus Marcus Paul,

involuntary manslaughter,

we find the defendant...

(BREATHING SHAKILY)

members of the jury,

for your time and your consideration.

You are dismissed.

This court is...

Your Honour, my client would like to address the court.

Go ahead.

Pete...

..was my friend.

And my business partner.

And I'm...

I will always...

..carry the burden of his death.

And I will never know...

..if our system misidentified

Xavier Skilling because he was Black.

But if I would've known at the time

that that was even a possibility...

..I would like to think that I would have disclosed it.

But maybe, Pete...

..my best friend,

was just trying to protect me from...

..the burden of facing that uncertainty.

And maybe part of me didn't wanna...

..ask him those tough questions...

..so I wouldn't have to confront those real truths.

Mrs Skilling...

..I echo my wife's words.

I do not expect you to forgive me.

But I promise you...

..I will dedicate my life

to asking the questions

I should've asked before your husband was killed.

..I will honour his life,

and the way he lived it.

Thank you, Your Honour.

This court is adjourned.
