-? (TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) ? -MOLLY GIORDANO: Hang on, let's just go through it again.

I typed up your notes, and then Serena checked it,

and then I updated the document.

SAEED MASOOD: Yeah, and then I sent that list to Cathcarts.

I swear, Testarossa wasn't in there.

It was in there, and then Serena told me to take it out.

-SAEED: So, that's what you did? -MOLLY: So, that's what I did.

-SAEED: 'Cause I wasn't sure. -Wasn't sure about what?

Whether Carla was joking or not.

-(INAUDIBLE CHATTER) -? (MUSIC BUILDING) ?

Well, there were loads of things in there, weren't there?

Yeah, but a Ferrari Testarossa wasn't one of them.

So, the question is, if-

if- if Carla said it as a joke

and I took it off the asset list,

that you gave them, how did Cathcarts get that word?

How did Cathcarts get the joke?

-SAEED: That's what I'm saying. -SERENA BYRNE: Good night.

-Good night, guys. -Good night, younglings.

-Night. -Night.

SAEED: (SIGHING) Well...

What if I sent the wrong thing to Suzie

-from an earlier draft? -Well, no, because Testarossa

-was only mentioned once. -Well, this is the thing-

Maybe we sent the old version to Suzie Levitnik.

Maybe you sent the wrong version.

SAEED: No. No, I wouldn't have done that.

MOLLY: We need to tell Nick and Serena.

Molly, let's not fuck our careers over a typo.

It's not a typo, though, is it? Because you didn't misspell it.

JOHNNY WARREN: Oh, guys, look. It's like anything in life

until you know for sure you've got a problem,

there's no point saying anything.

What?

No, I like that.

Not until you absolutely have to.

-I love the sound of that. -Yeah, I thought you might.

Look, we'll check it first,

keep it between us, at least for now.

It might not even be a thing, okay?

Yeah, great.

MORGAN HENDERSON: The Ancker offer.

ERIC MCDANIEL: He said he wanted to talk.

We said we'd make the introduction.

(PANTING) That's all there is to it.

Without asking me?

(HUFFS) 'Cause you would have never taken the meeting.

No.

And we wanted you to hear the number.

Because it was a very good number, Morgan.

Very good.

What, you knew the number beforehand?

-What else did you know? -(EXHALES)

We knew if you took it, he'd want you to step away.

That was the deal.

He'd want me out?

-From my firm? -From the firm.

(GRUNTS)

His feeling was that the business

would benefit from a change in leadership.

The divorce. It's not the best look.

And? What was he offering you?

He was offering us what we deserve...

-(SOFTLY) Eric. -...for all the work we put in these past ten years.

-It's our payday, too. -Eric, we sell to Ancker,

we might as well all pack up and leave.

We can't all afford to get on our moral high horse.

Oh, come on.

You've a few pennies lying around

-for a principle or two. -(CHUCKLES)

MORGAN: That crap with your daughter?

She's fine now.

She was stalked on his platform.

His whole business is to spread bile.

Bile's too passive a word. Active hate.

All alongside adverts for yoga mats

-and package holidays. -I think if you took the time-

I created a safe alternative. We sell to Ancker

and we turn out the last of the lights.

Jesus.

I came out for a run.

Not a lecture from a guy who only found his conscience

when it became profitable.

? (SOFT PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING) ?

ERIC: (SIGHING) 44:56.

Not as quick as I thought. Not as quick as we used to be.

I'm not selling out, Eric.

Eric!

Eric!

? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ?

(ELEVATOR BELL CHIMES)

We give them 'til the end of play tomorrow

to complete Section 25. That's Carla's full statement.

-They will proof it. -But so should we.

-And by we? -You mean me.

I mean you. And, Fred,

if we could cut down on this completing-my-sentence business,

I'd be grateful. Start doing it in court-

And you'll scream. I get it. I'm doing it again.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

JOY "BUDGIE" BUDGE: You may sense we're in a rather serious mood,

and you'd be right.

For these, the last few days in a case of such magnitude

are where things are won and lost.

Carla's account of what happened at Section 25 is her story,

but it must be shored up by witnesses

who will back her up before it's disclosed

to the judge, to the enemy.

Cathcarts will look to pull the arms and legs off

Carla's entire account of the marriage.

And we will do the same to his.

And we will do the same to his. It's what we barristers do.

It's what Budgie does better than anyone else.

But this is the most important thing.

In a case where there are lies, betrayals, concealing of assets,

I want to know everything.

-No squirrelling. -? (LOW TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) ?

BUDGIE: Her mistakes, your mistakes,

whatever it may be.

If it trips me up in court,

even if you're convinced that the other side

couldn't possibly know anything about it,

-it comes to us. Is that clear? -Mm-hmm.

-SERENA: Yep. -Yeah.

-Johnny. -? (MUSIC INTENSIFIES) ?

-Makes total sense to me. -(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(DOOR OPENING)

-Carla's here. -BUDGIE: Right.

You're all brilliant,

and you all know what you're doing,

so on you go.

-NICHOLAS TAYLOR: Thank you, Budgie. -SERENA: Thank you, Budgie.

-(EXHALES) -? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ?

-(TELEPHONES RINGING) -MOLLY: Michael and Nora,

they were in the Testarossa meeting

when Carla made the joke, right?

Yeah, so?

So, let's ask them if they mentioned it to anyone.

-What, the joke? -Then this all goes away.

No, only if they said something to Cathcarts,

which they wouldn't, because that is our entire job,

to make the formal submissions, okay?

That's the thing. Someone must have sent it as a formal submission,

or it would never have come back the way

that it did, as a formal response.

Molly, I went through everything again last night.

I checked my entire laptop. I never sent them that word.

-I never sent it them. -Neither of us did.

-So, what are you saying? -I'm saying, how the fuck did-

FRED TEMPLEMAN: Budgie's asking for the full asset list to be appended to her note.

SAEED: Uh, yeah, okay. I'll, um-

You'll get that now? Thank you.

-(SIGHS) -MOLLY: Shit.

? (LOW RIVETING MUSIC PLAYING) ?

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ?

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

I mean, I know I've talked about taking him

for every penny, but thinking about it,

about Gabe, I really, I really just want what's fair.

So, can we just go for that?

That won't be what I'm doing, darling, no.

No. Budgie's going in looking for as much

-as she can humanly get. -That's how we end up at fair.

NICHOLAS: That's why we wanted you to come in today.

We're two days from court.

We need you to do your Section 25, your statement.

And when you do... (CLEARS THROAT)

...there mustn't be anything left outstanding.

-Outstanding? -Anything you haven't told us,

things you maybe,

you know, for whatever reason, decided not to mention.

-Dirt, Nick? -(SIGHS)

'Cause if that's what you mean, you can just say it.

Yeah, that's what he means.

Debts, drug habits, love children,

lies, whatever you're sitting on.

-Budgie needs the lot. -Yes, please.

I'm not sitting on anything.

We do mean it, Carla. Now, is the time to tell us.

I told you I'm not sitting on anything.

(SCOFFS) Honestly.

-Am I? -I wouldn't say so.

Just say no.

No.

? (LOW TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) ?

-? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ? -Just testing.

Jesus.

It's because we're not the only ones looking.

Just as we're digging up everything on Morgan,

looking to undermine his character,

so they will be looking to undermine you.

Prudence certainly will.

Who?

? (RIVETING MUSIC PLAYING) ?

Pru-Pru.

-Shall we? -Mm-hm.

-Tony. -St. John.

There are two sides to every marriage,

so it's not his Section 25

that interests us, it's not really hers.

-It's how the statements differ. -TONY MURPHY: (SNAPS FINGER) Thank you.

See, that is where the fun is to be had.

In defending his position,

the correct and fair position, and contesting hers.

Most acutely in regards to Zephyr.

Morgan's shares of Zephyr aren't officially in the marital pot.

Though she will argue that point.

Yeah, she will. And she will fail.

We definitely expect them to contest it.

Some sob story about her being with him

when he first had the idea, apparently.

It's as if the man can't brush his own teeth

or wipe his own arse without Carla following him

about the house, claiming to be his muse.

-? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ? -Everything all right at home?

Get all these materials over to me in good time, please.

(FAINT CHATTER)

(WHISPERS) She doesn�t really seem that scary.

That's what's so terrifying.

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

? (SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING) ?

Opposition barristers are in place.

-They've hired Joy Budge. -We know that how, sorry?

I rang her chambers, pretended I wanted to hire her,

and was told she was unavailable.

On our exact dates.

-That's very clever. -I agree.

-You�ve told Pru? -Pru�s pleased.

Knows all the ticks and weak spots,

claims she's what the Americans call four and O.

Great.

(CELL PHONE BUZZING)

? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ?

You boys waving the white flag?

MOLLY: I just want to check one thing.

Yep.

MOLLY: The asset list that Saeed sent you.

I just want to make sure that we're working off

the document with the same date.

-Okay. -(MOUSE CLICKING)

SUZIE LEVITNIK: So, I've got November 30th,

the updated version.

Right, and what updates are those,

just to be 100 percent?

So, the cottage in Normandy, the two horses,

plus the new addition, the Ferrari Testarossa.

? (LOW TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) ?

That's great. Thanks, Suze.

SUZIE: Okay, bye.

MICHAEL STEFANOU: Come on, guys. Clock is ticking.

Nora, Nora, can I borrow you a second?

NORA OKAFOR: Okay, Michael. Yep.

David! Taylor and Byrne just called.

They were checking on those amendments

that you sent me, the additions to the asset list.

Yeah, it was like they thought

they'd sent the wrong information.

It was weird.

Well, they'll be dropping balls left,

right, and center, knowing that lot.

It's good. It's what we want.

Keep going, please.

? (LOW RIVETING MUSIC PLAYING) ?

(CLEARS THROAT)

They definitely have it, the wrong information.

-Cathcarts do? -Yeah.

-Says who? -Says Cathcarts.

-What? You called them? -Yeah, you told me to.

No, I said keep it between us.

While we figure out if we have a problem, which we do.

Like a massive problem, because I inputted it properly,

which means it was submitted properly.

-Yeah, you�re right. -Yeah, and the only two people

that were supposed to be submitting anything.

Were the two of you. And you didn't.

(SIGHS) Shit.

Someone's been feeding stuff across,

working for the other side.

(SIGHS) We need to tell someone.

Let's think about this.

-There's nothing to think about. -JOHNNY: No, look, look.

If someone has been feeding information across,

they're going to have a backup plan, aren't they?

A way to blame other people if they get caught.

-You think? -JOHNNY: Yeah.

Yeah, unless they're a fucking idiot, of course.

Now, look.

The only people they're going to blame are the three of us.

And I don't know about you, but I can't lose this job.

Now, look, we take a beat, talk to Saeed.

We try and work this whole thing out,

just the three of us,

before people get the wrong idea.

I don't think so.

I think I need to put it in writing.

I think I fucked up.

You always say that.

I really have this time, though.

You always say that, too.

You'll be okay.

-If he's okay... -I know.

...when he's minus-one-month-old...

-I know, I know. -...then you'll work it out.

(BABY COOS)

But you will still make partner

if that's what you're worried about.

Because you're good, David.

And also, let's not forget, because they can only

turn you down so many times.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Joke. (SIGHS)

DAVID: Minus-one-month-old.

Do you think he knows we're talking about him?

I think he probably assumes

people are talking about him the whole time.

If he's anything like his father.

(DISTANT SIREN BLARING)

We promised Budgie the completed Form H

by tomorrow night.

Is there a question buried inside that statement, Michael?

Well, how realistic do we think that is?

Well, you've already promised her now,

Yeah. Yeah, I suppose that�s right.

NICHOLAS: Are you okay? Serena, talk to me.

Nick, we have a mole.

? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ?

There's absolutely no way this could be true.

-They've tested it. -Who have?

The trainees. They've checked all their disclosures,

everything we've ever shared. It's the only explanation.

But it's... it's unheard of, unprecedented.

You get caught doing something like that, well,

-you get struck off. -Mm!

BERNARD KANE: It's a matter for the SRA.

There isn't anyone working for us

that used to work for them, is there?

-Present company excepted. -No one.

No. It's pretty much our one and only founding principle.

Oh, that and wanting a firm that's nothing like Cathcarts.

But it's- it's a small world.

Everyone knows each other. People move about.

It doesn't matter how- how it happened.

The fact is, it has. And we need to stop it.

-(SIGHS) -Find whoever it is and eject them

from the fucking building.

Two days before court and Cathcarts have it all.

Our fucking strategy.

They could know about Flora, and the NDA.

They could know more about our legal arguments

than our fucking barristers do.

What about Antonia on reception?

-She knows everything. -(SNIGGERS)

Bernard asked Antonia to go to Wagamama with him,

but she said no,

so he's desperate to find an excuse

to give her the elbow, so no one else finds out.

-Antonia's too junior. -I don't disagree.

She wouldn't have access to the files.

No.

We've got to find them,

without anyone knowing that we're looking,

before this whole case falls flat on its arse.

And we can't afford for that to happen, can we?

Because the whole firm goes with it.

? (LOW RIVETING MUSIC PLAYING) ?

What?

What this actually does is raise the stakes for both firms.

Yes, they had this advantage all this time,

but if we can find the mole and prove it...

We could use it against Cathcarts.

NICHOLAS: Yeah, they'll be in a world of pain,

and not just in this case, which they'll lose,

'cause we will save this up and drop it on them in court.

But for, you know, a 200-year-old law firm...

this could destroy them.

doesn�t make it a bad place to live.

Doesn't mean we can't ever go back.

It didn't just go wrong.

You signed a legal document you should never have signed,

and we ran away.

Yeah, well. No, they threw me under the bus.

Okay. They threw you under the bus and then we ran away.

I had to tell Mum that we came back

Oh, David. I was right.

there was something weird.

They just sent me a revised copy, and guess what?

They removed one of the assets. Just cut it.

I mean, like, how and why?

I'm sure there is a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Yeah, like what?

And that you will work it out whenever you've got time

to make it a priority. And that day will come, okay?

There is an issue with the inside man,

What was that quote of yours? "The simple act..."

"The simple act of paying attention

can take you a long way, " said by a certain Keanu Reeves.

Yes.

Well, perhaps I myself have fallen foul of that, David,

because this is the first I'm hearing about any of this.

-(PRINTER WHIRRING) -(TELEPHONES RINGING)

This is my problem, you see, I freak out.

Even if I haven't done something,

if people start thinking I have,

I go all red and suspicious.

She's not looking suspicious though, is she?

Nah, I�m not even gonna go there.

-Talk about the ultimate bluff. -(SIGHS) No!

No, you're right.

Exactly. That's why I'm not even going to go there.

? (MUSIC CONTINUES) ?

? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ?

NICHOLAS: Firstly, we're grateful for your honesty.

But now we must insist on your discretion.

This is a case review.

That's what we're calling these conversations.

We're going through each member of staff,

checking their disclosures, their correspondence.

Looking for human error.

Which is perfectly standard stuff

as we head to court. But this is our way

of finding out who this might be.

And we need you in here so people don't start wondering

why you're not being reviewed, too.

Yeah, makes sense.

There's only one question, Molly.

Is there anyone, when we're doing these reviews,

to whom we should be...

paying special attention,

in your opinion?

-(SIGHS) -Go on, Molly. It's all right.

I'm disappointed that that's your question.

(SIGHS) I wanted you to ask me if it was me.

If I'm the mole. I'm not.

-Then why? -Because I- I give a shit.

Because I worked my backside off to get this job.

Because I believe in what you two are doing.

I believe in what you're doing when you say that

you put the client first.

So, I want your investigation into whichever scumbag did this

to be as painstaking as bloody possible.

Because I don't want us to lose this case.

Because if we lose then the firm might fail.

That's the rumor anyway.

? (RIVETING MUSIC PLAYING) ?

It's a good answer.

NICHOLAS: There's nothing to worry about.

We're having these conversations

with everyone before we go to court.

Okay, um... Well, uh, uh, everything is- is ready.

Um, I'm, uh...

I- I'm still waiting for bits for, um- from Johnny and Saeed.

But, um... But, uh, Budgie's happy.

-SERENA: Nora. -She told me that herself.

Nora, you can relax. We just want to make sure

you're happy with how things are working

with the rest of the team.

(SIGHS) You can check anything you like. Emails, texts.

Everybody blanks me anyway,

so it'll be nice to think someone's reading them.

Has something happened?

I mean, things are crazy enough right now.

Odd time to start marking everybody's homework.

SERENA: How are you feeling about your role here?

CLEO HYLAND: Well, I'd say I'm ambitious, I work hard,

and I don't suffer fools.

NICHOLAS: Who would you say is putting in the most work?

The paralegals and junior associates stay latest.

No one stays later than Molly, Johnny, Saeed.

It's like a competition to see who works latest.

SAEED: Yeah, no, I'm fine.

Loving everything about it. Working here,

obviously, it's just always been an ambition of mine to work

at the- the very best law firm.

So, I'm just- I'm super,

super grateful to both of you for showing faith in me

and uh, that I get to be here doing good, honest work.

? (MUSIC CONTINUES) ?

BERNARD: We continue to keep a lid on this.

Rat them out ourselves.

The other option is you call Cathcarts

and confront them with it.

Say that you found a mole, want to do a deal to bury it.

Find out who it is that way. At least then you'll know.

It won't work. I thought that last night.

If- If they have done this, if they've organized this,

they'll have done it in a way

that gives them total deniability. This...

this is only a crisis for us.

I'm the new kid at school.

You're not going to trust me the same way

-that you trust the others. -No, that's not true.

(GULPS)

But I think there's a bit of hedging going on.

People trying to position themselves.

I don't want to speak out of turn here.

Speak out of turn.

Uh, well, the rumor is,

is that you're struggling financially.

We either win this case or you let people go.

-To be clear, we are not- -Let him finish.

So, you can feel it in the air.

When people are on the phone to Cathcarts.

Or when they meet them in person, they're...

-they're keen to impress. -Which people?

(SIGHS) I�m not gonna start naming names here.

I've- I've just started working here and I'm loving it.

I love the team.

I feel supported by the two of you.

If I name the wrong person...

well, I could ruin someone's career.

-(GULPS) -(LIVELY CHATTER)

Yeah. No, the way they were coming at me

No, I wasn't blinking with any of that shit, sorry.

Oh, that's another thing we've got to solve.

Hmm. Be right back. Hello?

he's got his head in his hands, he's freaking out,

he's trying to suggest it's someone else. I just...

I just can't get it out of my head.

I don't know who else to tell. I know it's not me.

It's not you, so...

You know, there has to be someone.

Um, I will meet you back at the office.

-Bye. -JOHNNY: Cheers. See you.

All good?

-All great. -SAEED: Mm-hmm.

? (TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING) ?

-MALE VOICE: Johnny. -? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ?

ST. JOHN SMALLWOOD: Phone.

You weren't provided with a burner.

(PA BEEPS)

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT OVER PA)

-Hmm. (SIGHS) -(BEEPS)

I have a colleague, David Schill.

He says he's been receiving unwanted messages from you.

He thinks it might stem from the fact

that you came to us once and embarrassed yourself

in a job interview.

-Trust me- -Now, why would I do that?

I've got plenty of shit on Schill,

on Cathcarts, on all of you.

Just like you did in New York?

Well, this is a moment of leverage, isn't it?

One can wash one's hands of something like this,

or as David and I were saying,

one can look for something to salvage.

? (LOW TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) ?

I want proof of this honey trap.

No verbals, not just an NDA, a text, payment,

something from Carla that proves it.

Get me that before we go to court,

and you could rescue your career.

So, get proof and I get a job with you,

that's what you're saying?

I don't believe you.

I really can't help you with that.

? (MUSIC INTENSIFIES) ?

JOHNNY: I- I just wanted to make sure

that she's doing okay,

feeling protected, court starts tomorrow.

She's not here, darling.

Okay. All right, sorry, no worries.

MELINDA "MUMSY" MONROE: Night.

-(CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING) -(DISTANT SIREN WAILING)

? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ?

How many more fake envelopes are people going

-to think I need to sign? -(CHUCKLES)

Sorry for blowing so hot and cold.

CARLA DUVAL: Don't look stressed.

If you look stressed the night before court,

imagine how stressed that makes me.

Well, what are you going to do about it, then?

Excuse me?

Well, you want to take the edge off,

let me make you a drink or something?

You know, a little bit of Dutch courage before court?

-Yeah. -JOHNNY: Yeah.

Okay.

CARLA: I spent the day with Budgie

going through my statement.

"The Story of my Marriage," by Carla Duval,

all so it can be picked apart in court.

(SIGHS)

You've got nothing to hide, have you?

You've been honest about Gabe, about being away.

You've told them about Flora.

It's just not what people think.

It's not what Nick and Serena think,

-that's for sure. -(CLEARS THROAT)

And now I'm just worried that that's what Flora thinks

because I can't speak to her, I can't see her, I can't.

And now they're just digging on Morgan's side.

They're trying to catch me out.

They're going to find Flora. I know they are.

They won't. Come here. They won't.

And, uh, even if they do, they can't prove anything, okay?

Not unless you've called her, obviously, or...

sent her any, um, text messages since this all started.

But you haven't, have you?

I mean, maybe a couple, but I deleted them.

? (LOW RIVETING MUSIC PLAYING) ?

Promise?

Did they say anything incriminating?

No.

I don't know. I don't think so.

Okay.

Remember when we went to find Gabriel

and I helped you check your phone?

Do you want me to do that for you now?

Just check to see if there's anything

on there about Flora. Would that help?

-Yeah? Okay. (CLEARS THROAT) -Yeah.

Cool. Right.

-(CARLA SIGHING) -Yep.

You forgot to delete the deleted messages.

-CARLA: Thank you. -That's okay.

CARLA: You're one of the only people I can trust.

-? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ? -JOHNNY: Uh...

All good.

There's nothing that proves anything. There's...

no...

nothing about payment or Morgan.

It's just, um, two mates talking.

(CELL PHONE THUDS)

Stay?

I want to. I do really want to, but I can't.

Listen, I want to be there for you tomorrow. Not tonight.

? (SOFT PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING) ?

Tomorrow is when everything changes.

ANTONIA: Not gonna win this time.

Everyone's working late tonight.

If I can get the different shadow evaluations

summarized and then put into the green folder...

FRED: Then she can give them to me to look after.

-Sorry, mate. -Where the hell have you been? It's 11:00 p.m.

I know. Sorry.

Well, I've done it all now, okay?

The least you can do is just proof it

and then Nick needs it as soon as you're done.

Cool.

(CLEARS THROAT) Yep, it's coming, mate.

-FRED: Chop, chop. -(SOFTLY) Fuckin� hell.

? (SOFT PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING) ?

? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ?

It can only be someone with access

to the file you rejected.

That can only be Molly, Saeed, or Johnny.

Johnny, who was very quick

to say it was anyone other than him. Remember?

It can't be Johnny.

He works the hardest. He�s been amazing.

We need to tell Budgie.

Biggest case of our careers. We can�t keep this to ourselves.

What we need is to stay calm. Everything's already submitted.

We can win this for Carla,

and no amount of spying can stop us.

? (QUIET TENDER MUSIC PLAYING) ?

-Hmm? -Hmm.

Say yes, please.

Yes, please.

We leave for court in 20 minutes.

TONY: Put all this back in the binders...

? (MUSIC RISES) ?

? (LOW RIVETING MUSIC PLAYING) ?

SUZIE: "I confess I have sent you materials

I should never have disclosed. Information designed

to give your firm an unfair advantage.

I do not want to get you in any trouble,

so I also wish to state

that what I have sent you in regards to the asset list,

I sent entirely off my own bat. This was all down to me.

Because of this error and my stupid attempt

to impress you as potential future employers,

there is now an internal investigation underway.

All I've ever wanted is to be a lawyer,

to do good work for good people.

So please, I beg you,

should anyone from Taylor and Byrne

try and contact you about this matter,

please say nothing."

That�s it? The end of the message?

Yeah, and then he just signs off with an S.

-For Saeed Masood. -? (POIGNANT MUSIC CHORD) ?

-SUZIE: What the fuck is this? -Suzie.

What the fuck are we going to do?

? (LOW TENSE MUSIC PLAYING) ?

We do the only thing one can do in a situation like this,

which is to remember one's principles,

one's integrity.

We ignore... (HESITATES)

-Saeed. -...Saeed�s request not to tell.

-Forward this to Nicholas Taylor. -? DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING) ?

Suzie, it's okay. You work at Cathcarts.

We might play hard, but we do at least play fair.

? (MUSIC BUILDS) ?

(EMAIL NOTIFICATION PINGS)

? (MUSIC RISES) ?

? (MUSIC CONCLUDES) ?

What email?

I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

-I haven't sent anything. -MOLLY: Saeed!

Molly!

-COLLEAGUE: Jesus Christ. -(OVERLAPPING CHATTER)

Get off me! Let me walk, please?

-SERENA: Everybody listening? -(CHATTER STOPS)

What just happened here is a test.

A test we will pass. Not because we have no choice,

though we don't, but because we're great lawyers

with a strong case and good principles.

And no amount of spying

or double dealing is going to fucking stop us.

We do this for Carla...

and also for each other. Okay?

? (RIVETING MUSIC PLAYING) ?

Is this catching on?

It�s catching on. All right, yep.

All right.

Thank you, everyone. We leave in ten.

(CELL PHONE BUZZING)

Molly. Ah, it�s shit, I�m sorry.

Hmm.

Hired him straight after he qualified.

One simple error of judgement has cost him everything.

Well, "The simple act of paying attention

can take you a long way." You know who said that?

Yes.

David Schill.
